0:00:23 > 0:00:29Thank you. I'm Alexander Armstrong. This is Pointless, where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:40- Couple number one. - I'm Tom. This is my daughter Emma. We're from Banbury in Oxfordshire.
0:00:40 > 0:00:45- Couple number two. - I'm Janice. This is my son Keith. We're from Colchester.
0:00:45 > 0:00:51- Couple number three. - My name's James. This is my friend Phil. We're from Chippenham.
0:00:51 > 0:00:57- And our fourth and final couple. - This is Alan and I'm Pam. We're married and from Glasgow.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02These, ladies and gentlemen, are our contestants.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Thanks all of you. We'll find out more about you through the show.
0:01:07 > 0:01:12There's only one person left. He's never known the bliss of ignorance.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17- It's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.- Hiya! Hello.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- Good afternoon.- How are you? - I'm very well. Are you?- Very well.
0:01:25 > 0:01:30- That last show, we had a very tight Head to Head.- Very close fought.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Pam and Alan were the losers in it.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37They'll be very tough to beat. We've got two other returning pairs.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42- They'll want to go a lot further. - And what about this jackpot?
0:01:42 > 0:01:47- The jackpot continues to rise. It's pretty big now, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Pam and Alan did well last time and this is how things fall -
0:01:51 > 0:01:56question one for them today will also be very, very handy.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57- Oh!- Yeah.- Oh!
0:01:57 > 0:02:03- Yeah.- OK. Looking forward to that. - Well, you don't have long to wait. - It's Round One.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05It's 15-20 seconds away.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10If I wasn't talking now, we'd probably have got to it!
0:02:10 > 0:02:14All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:14 > 0:02:19Our contestants need to find those answers they couldn't get.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24Everybody wants a pointless answer that none of them gave. That adds £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29Sandra and Cat didn't win it last time, so we add another £1,000,
0:02:29 > 0:02:33so today's jackpot starts off at £17,000!
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50OK, I'll take an answer from each of you and there's no conferring.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54The pair with the highest score will be eliminated.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59OK, our first category today is... It's People. People.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Decide who's going first and who's second.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11OK, the question concerns...
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Great Scots. There we go. Great Scots, Richard.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21We'll give you clues to the identities of seven famous people born in Scotland.
0:03:21 > 0:03:27Give us a nice, obscure answer and you'll score fewer points. An incorrect answer scores 100.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30There's going to be 14 in all.
0:03:30 > 0:03:36Thanks very much. So we are looking for these great Scots described in the clues. And we have got...
0:03:36 > 0:03:38HE READS THE LIST
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I'll read those all again.
0:04:18 > 0:04:25- Now, Emma, welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.- Lovely to have you here with your dad.- Lovely to be here.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- What do you do, Emma? - I'm a teaching assistant.- OK.
0:04:29 > 0:04:35- In all spheres or...? - Primary school ages 6-7.- 6-7.- Yes.
0:04:35 > 0:04:42- Very good. You cover all subjects? - I help with anything at all that the teacher needs help with.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- This is very good. - And having lots of fun.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51- What do you do in your spare time? - I do something called geocaching.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- I know about geocaching. I've never done it.- It's fantastic.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00- Like treasure hunting. - A big worldwide treasure hunt. - Others do it as well?
0:05:00 > 0:05:07- It sounds very grand, but the prizes are a little small.- OK. What's the biggest prize you've won?
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- A plastic frog? - They are small, aren't they?
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- Wow.- But the kids love it. My kids.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19Very good. Now then, Emma, what do you make of this subject?
0:05:19 > 0:05:20Em...
0:05:20 > 0:05:27Yes, really not my greatest field of knowledge, but I think I know two up there.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32It's just trying to work out which is going to be the least obvious.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37I think probably I'll have to go for Glasgow-born comedian, Billy Connolly.
0:05:37 > 0:05:43Billy Connolly. The Big Yin. Let's see if that's right and how many people knew that answer.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Absolutely right.
0:05:48 > 0:05:5048.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53That's really not bad.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- 48 for Billy Connolly.- Good answer.
0:05:58 > 0:06:04The Big Yin, which translates as The Big One. He's always streaking in his documentaries.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- He even streaked in the Arctic Circle.- Yeah.
0:06:07 > 0:06:13OK, Janice, welcome back to the show. Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:06:13 > 0:06:21This is your and Keith's second and final chance to do it. Remind us what happened last time.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23We went out. Wasn't any good.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Which was the round that did it?
0:06:26 > 0:06:32- It was the, em... - It was the spies. Spy books, spy films, spy characters.
0:06:32 > 0:06:38- That's right. We had James Bond. - Yeah, I took a stab in the dark and got it completely wrong.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43Well, you are back again. And this is a better board, isn't it? A better subject?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Oh...- Really?- Yeah.
0:06:45 > 0:06:51I did know... I know two, I think. I'm going to go for Goldfinger with Sean Connery.
0:06:51 > 0:06:57Janice said Connery played Bond in Goldfinger. Is that right? How many people said that?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01It's right.
0:07:01 > 0:07:0275!
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Yes, born in Edinburgh. It's a big score, isn't it?
0:07:11 > 0:07:17- His jobs included bricklaying and coffin polishing.- Thanks. Now, Philip, hello to you.
0:07:17 > 0:07:23- Tell us what happened last time. - It was all my fault. I can't pass the buck. I got 100
0:07:23 > 0:07:28- on the mountain range question. - Yeah, you picked Switzerland,
0:07:28 > 0:07:34- but the mountain range wasn't on the board.- I talked myself out of an answer that would have done it.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39- Yeah, you reasoned into a brilliant answer...- Then panicked and said Switzerland.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43That's not going to happen. You're back. This time you can relax
0:07:43 > 0:07:48and enjoy plucking a relatively low-scoring answer off this board.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53I think... I know the two that have gone. I'll go for the bottom one
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- and hope it's Gerard Butler. - Gerard Butler says Philip.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Is that right? How many people said it?
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Absolutely right. 48's our best score so far.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08You've smashed through that.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Oh, five!
0:08:10 > 0:08:12There we go.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Five for Gerard Butler.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Switzerland is a thing of distant memory now. Richard?
0:08:20 > 0:08:26Much better, Philip. Born in Paisley and moved to Montreal with his family when they were young.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31He likes to call himself Gerry because Americans say Ger-ARD.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- He doesn't like it.- You wouldn't.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- Ger-ARD Butler.- Rich-ARD Osman.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- Oh, that's not bad.- Really?- Yeah.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44- Rich-ARD?- Yeah, maybe not. - Sounds like it's burnt.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46LAUGHTER
0:08:46 > 0:08:51OK, we are looking for the Scottish people described by these clues.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56Pam, you're the last person to get this board. I really hope,
0:08:56 > 0:09:01- geographically speaking, you have some good answers. - I know two of the remaining four.
0:09:01 > 0:09:07Widely credited as inventor of the telephone I believe is Alexander Graham Bell.
0:09:07 > 0:09:13But I'm going to go for the architect famously associated with Art Nouveau
0:09:13 > 0:09:19- as Charles Rennie Mackintosh. - Rennie Mackintosh says Pam.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Sounds good to me. Is that right? How many said it?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Absolutely right.
0:09:30 > 0:09:3411. Very, very well done, Pam. That's a lovely score.
0:09:36 > 0:09:43Born in Glasgow. He's on the Clydesdale Bank £100 note, Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- Wow. Imagine that. - Let's fill in the rest.
0:09:46 > 0:09:53Widely credited as inventor of the telephone. You're right, it's Alexander Graham Bell.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Would have scored 44 points.
0:09:55 > 0:10:00- The author of The Thirty-Nine Steps. - John Buchan.- Absolutely right. Would have scored 21.
0:10:00 > 0:10:07And the best answer is the inventor of the vacuum flask. James Dewar. Very well done if you knew that.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Two of 100 people knew it.
0:10:09 > 0:10:16OK, let's take a look at the scores. Five, very much the best score. Philip, very well done indeed.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Up to 11 and Pam and Alan.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23Up to 48 for Emma and Tom. And then up to 75, Janice and Keith.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28A touch of deja vu here. You'll need a really good, low-scoring answer to keep you in the game.
0:10:28 > 0:10:35We'll come back down the line now. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:35 > 0:10:41OK, we're going to put seven more famous Scots on the board and here they are. We have got...
0:10:41 > 0:10:43HE READS THE LIST
0:11:02 > 0:11:04I'll read those one last time.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21There we are. We're looking for the great Scots described there.
0:11:21 > 0:11:27Alan, you're going to try to find a really low-scoring one. I think you can do this.
0:11:27 > 0:11:33I could, but my mind's gone blank. I really should know at least six out of the seven.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36You're on 11. Lovely low score there from Pam.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41The high scorers are on 75 so if you can score 63 or less,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44you are through to the second round.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49There's a couple where the first names are not coming to me at the moment.
0:11:49 > 0:11:55- So I'll have to go with poet and author who wrote Auld Lang Syne being Robert Burns.- Robbie Burns.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58OK, here comes your red line.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03If he gets you below that red line, he'll see you into the next round.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06How many people said that? And is it right?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Absolutely right.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Well done. You're through.
0:12:14 > 0:12:1623.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Not a bad answer at all. 34 your total.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28Good work, Alan. You're a strong pair again. He had 12 children.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32In 2009, chosen by a public vote as the greatest Scot of all time.
0:12:32 > 0:12:38- Now, James, how brilliant was Philip? - Redeemed himself fully. Amazing.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42All is forgiven. You're suddenly strong contenders for that jackpot.
0:12:42 > 0:12:48- How long have you two known each other?- We've been friends since we were eight.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53- We met at a football club. - Who's the better player?
0:12:54 > 0:12:59- Phil, probably. Just about, just about.- Good job you said that. - He's done well.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03He has. For that 5 points, you can say that.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08OK, I'll remind you of the context. Keith and Janice are on 75. You're on 5.
0:13:08 > 0:13:14A score of 69 or less sees you comfortably into the next round. How's the board looking?
0:13:14 > 0:13:20I think I know the top two, but I'm going to try the top one if I could.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25I believe that the top one is the late Colin McRae.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30Colin McRae you are saying. The World Rally Champion.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Let's see if that's right. Here is your red line.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Colin McRae.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Absolutely right.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Yep. You're through.
0:13:43 > 0:13:4527.
0:13:45 > 0:13:4832 your total.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Lowest total of the round.
0:13:53 > 0:13:59Very well played, James. In 1995 he became the youngest person ever to win, aged 27.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03- Sadly missed, Colin McRae. - OK now,
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Keith, how does the board look to you?
0:14:06 > 0:14:11Well, I was going to say the top one and I only know one,
0:14:11 > 0:14:17which is not really too clever. So it's not looking great. I only know the tennis player.
0:14:17 > 0:14:22That is Andy Murray, but the world and his wife will know that.
0:14:22 > 0:14:28OK, Andy Murray you are naming as the tennis player who won the men's singles at the 2012 US Open.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32There's no red line for you as you're the high scorers.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Is it right? How many said it?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37It is right.
0:14:38 > 0:14:4060.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47That takes your total up to 135. You are still in the game.
0:14:47 > 0:14:53- Wasn't it wonderful when he won that title?- Amazing.- Brilliant. Five sets over Djokovic.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58And won the Olympics. He'd been so close so many times.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03- Yeah.- I don't have a joke about that. I just thought it was lovely.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Now then, Tom, how's it looking?
0:15:06 > 0:15:11Most of my answers have gone, but I think I need to take a punt.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Engineer who pioneered television is Logie Baird.
0:15:15 > 0:15:21Logie Baird. Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said Logie Baird.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Absolutely right. And you are through. Very well done, Tom.
0:15:27 > 0:15:3044 for Logie Baird.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Takes your total up to 92.
0:15:36 > 0:15:42I love Logie Baird, but his assistant Boo Boo was... was overlooked.
0:15:42 > 0:15:48- The man responsible for the greatest invention of the 20th century. - Without which we'd have no job.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- Well, you certainly wouldn't. - LAUGHTER
0:15:55 > 0:16:00- Yeah, he scores 44 points. The philosopher and economist is... - Adam Smith.
0:16:00 > 0:16:06- Absolutely right. 9 points. Author and creator of Peter Pan... - JM Barrie.- James Barrie.
0:16:06 > 0:16:12- Would have scored 23. And the inventor of the pneumatic tyre? - Can I say Dunlop?
0:16:12 > 0:16:17- Is that your answer?- A shot in the dark.- John Dunlop. Absolutely right.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21- 15 points. Best answer was Adam Smith.- Very good.
0:16:21 > 0:16:28- They've done some good things, the Scots.- They have. Certainly Robert Burns, a great Scot.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33- The greatest? Greatest equal.- With...?
0:16:33 > 0:16:39Adam Smith, James Barrie, John Logie Baird, John Dunlop, Andy Murray, Colin McRae and...BA Robertson.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43That is niche.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48Thanks, Richard. So the losing pair with their high score of 135 is Keith and Janice.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53- Oh, dear. Oh, dear. It was Round Two last time.- I know.- Never mind.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Well, it's tough. It's a tough desk, that one.
0:16:57 > 0:17:03- It is. The pressure. - Nothing wrong with your answers. Both right, but both high scorers.
0:17:03 > 0:17:09So this is where we have to say goodbye, but thank you for playing. It's been lovely having you.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:20 > 0:17:26There's only room for two pairs in our Head to Head, so sadly another pair will have to leave us
0:17:26 > 0:17:30at the end of this round. Tom and Emma,
0:17:30 > 0:17:34these two returning pairs had very low scores.
0:17:34 > 0:17:4034 and 32, respectively. If you want to stick around, you have to score low.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44That's my advice. OK, our category for Round Two is...
0:17:44 > 0:17:46TV.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49TV. Very Logie Baird-themed, isn't it?
0:17:49 > 0:17:54Can you all decide who is going to go first and who's going second?
0:17:54 > 0:17:59Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:59 > 0:18:05OK, let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:18:05 > 0:18:10to name as many 2012 Strictly Come Dancing dancers as they could.
0:18:10 > 0:18:16- Richard?- We're looking for any of the participants in the 2012 series of Strictly Come Dancing,
0:18:16 > 0:18:22any of the 14 celebrities or 14 professional dancers announced on the launch programme.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27Any of those 28 names, please. First names and surnames.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32Very best of luck. Some big Strictly fans at home will try for all 28.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, Tom,
0:18:36 > 0:18:43in your busy schedule do you find time of a Saturday evening to watch Strictly?
0:18:43 > 0:18:48- Yeah, I love Strictly.- This is very good news.- Very good news!
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Cos if you didn't...
0:18:52 > 0:18:57- I think I have to go for the first one out, which was Johnny Ball. - Johnny Ball.
0:18:57 > 0:19:03Such a shame he was out first. Anyway, is that right? And how many people said Johnny Ball?
0:19:11 > 0:19:1322.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22Tom, if you'd had to think of a number, would it be as low as that?
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- No.- That was a good score. 22.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30The oldest competitor thus far. Paul Daniels held the record at 72.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35- Johnny Ball is 74.- Really?- He looks good for that, doesn't he?- He does.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- His daughter, Zoe, presents Strictly: It Takes Two.- Now, James,
0:19:39 > 0:19:43- are you a Strictly fan? - Actually, I am.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Well, that secret's out now. All your class watching.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- Oh, yeah.- Yeah.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53That's a good point.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57I'll say Flavia Cacace.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Flavia Cacace.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04- I hope I pronounced it right! - I'm really impressed. Cacace.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Let's see if it's right and how many said it.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12It's right.
0:20:12 > 0:20:1422 our best score.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Oh, down it goes. Very well done indeed!
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Two!
0:20:19 > 0:20:21James...
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Very well done, indeed. Good moves, too.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31- Two for Flavia Cacace. - You can't even pretend you only watch occasionally now
0:20:31 > 0:20:38with that quality of answer. Famously, she danced with Russell Grant in 2011, didn't she?
0:20:38 > 0:20:43- Do you remember? - It's scorched onto my retina.
0:20:44 > 0:20:50- Now then, Pam, are you a Strictly watcher? - Occasionally, when I get the chance,
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- after I put down the kids.- Mm-hm.
0:20:52 > 0:20:58So I've gone a blank, so I'm just going to go with Victoria Pendleton.
0:20:58 > 0:21:04Victoria Pendleton says Pam. How many of our 100 people said Victoria Pendleton?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08It's right.
0:21:11 > 0:21:1324.
0:21:15 > 0:21:1624.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23A gold and silver medallist at the London 2012 Olympics.
0:21:23 > 0:21:29She had terrible trouble with her cha-cha-cha in the first episode, but it's cleared up, I think.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Yes, thank goodness.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:21:35 > 0:21:41Well, James and Philip couldn't be looking stronger. A fabulous low score there.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45This time it's James' turn to get a nice low score.
0:21:45 > 0:21:51Then up to 22 where we find Tom and Emma. Add those together to get 24,
0:21:51 > 0:21:54which is where we find Pam and Alan.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58You're not way out in front, Alan, but a low score would be good.
0:21:58 > 0:22:05We'll come back down the line. Could the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:05 > 0:22:11We're looking for the participants from the 2012 series of Strictly Come Dancing.
0:22:11 > 0:22:17- Alan, you'll try to find the lowest-scoring one you can. - Not an ideal subject matter.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22- Are you going to make up two names and put them together?- Possibly.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27But I'll avoid that and go for one of the dancers.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29I'm hoping Anton du Beke.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34Anton du Beke. There's no red line for you as you are the high scorers.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Is it right? How many people said it?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40It's right.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Oh, it's not that huge. 13.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Not bad, as it turns out, Alan.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Takes your total up to 37.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59Not bad at all, Alan. The dancers scoring less than the celebrities.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03He's been there since the first series. He partnered Ann Widdecombe.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08- Now then, Philip, are you vaguely aware of who's in the line-up?- Yes.
0:23:08 > 0:23:15- I can get a few.- OK. The high scorers are Alan and Pam on 37. You're on 2.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18A score of 34 or less sees you into the Head to Head.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23Just think how important that is. We have a jackpot of £17,000.
0:23:23 > 0:23:30OK, I know one of the dancers, but I'm not sure if she's still on it, so I'll go for a celebrity.
0:23:30 > 0:23:35- Michael Vaughan. - Michael Vaughan says Philip. Here is your red line.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Below that, you are through to the Head to Head.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Is Michael Vaughan right? How many said it?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46It is right.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51You've done it. Very well done.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52Five!
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Wow.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00Five for Michael Vaughan takes your total up to seven.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05That's a great low score.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09He captained the England side to the historic Ashes win in 2005.
0:24:09 > 0:24:15Now, Emma, it's crunch time. The high scorers at the moment are Alan and Pam on 37.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18You're on 22. 14 or less is required.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Well, Michael Vaughan scored five.
0:24:21 > 0:24:27I'm going to have to go for one that I think isn't low-scoring, but it's the only one I know.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32- That's Dani Harmer. - Good answer, I would say.
0:24:32 > 0:24:37There's your red line. If Dani Harmer gets you below that red line,
0:24:37 > 0:24:43- you are through. It could be very exciting. Dani Harmer. Tracy Beaker to you and me.- Yes.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47Let's see if that's right. How many said it?
0:24:49 > 0:24:51It's absolutely right.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Is it going to be below 14?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Yes, it is! Very well done. Six.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Very, very well done, indeed, Emma.
0:25:00 > 0:25:06Superb answering skills there. 28 your total and you are through to the Head to Head.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10- Yes, Dani Harmer. She's been on this show.- She has.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14She was very good. She partnered Vincent Simone on Strictly.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16He would have scored you 3 points.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20There are a couple of pointless answers. Both professional dancers.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Robin Windsor was a pointless answer. He dances with Lisa Riley.
0:25:24 > 0:25:31And Karen Hauer, a new dancer in 2012, who danced with Nicky Byrne. She was a pointless answer as well.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36I'll give you some other low scorers. Mostly the professionals.
0:25:36 > 0:25:42Kristina scored one, as did Natalie. Aliona scored two, Artem scored two, as would Pasha and Flavia.
0:25:42 > 0:25:48Vincent three, Michael Vaughan five, Erin Boag five, Nicky Byrne five, Louis Smith six.
0:25:48 > 0:25:54Ola Jordan and James Jordan, Richard Arnold and Colin Salmon, all seven. Fern Britton and Sid Owen, 15.
0:25:54 > 0:26:00Jerry Hall, 21. And here are the three biggest. Johnny Ball was 22.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Victoria Pendleton was 24.
0:26:02 > 0:26:08And right at the top is Lisa Riley. So Lisa Riley top of the shop
0:26:08 > 0:26:13- and her partner, Robin Windsor, a pointless answer.- Thank you.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18So at the end of Round Two, the losing pair I'm afraid are Alan and Pam.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22That's not that high a score! It's a brilliant score,
0:26:22 > 0:26:28but you were underscored, so to speak, by Emma and Tom. Great answer there from Emma
0:26:28 > 0:26:34in the dying moments of that round. But Alan and Pam, this is where we say goodbye.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38- Thank you so much for playing. - Thank you.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42But for the two remaining pairs, they're one step closer to the final
0:26:42 > 0:26:48and a chance of taking home that massive jackpot as we enter the Head to Head.
0:26:53 > 0:26:58Congratulations, Philip and James, Tom and Emma. You are one round from the final
0:26:58 > 0:27:03and the chance to play for the jackpot, which stands at £17,000!
0:27:05 > 0:27:12Now only one pair can play for that money. To decide which pair it'll be, you now go head to head.
0:27:12 > 0:27:19The big difference is you are now allowed to confer. The first pair to win two questions go through.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Philip and James, what a turnaround!
0:27:22 > 0:27:27You're our golden pair. The lowest scorers in the whole show.
0:27:27 > 0:27:33Yes, it feels good. Better than the last time, when I was behind there, crying.
0:27:33 > 0:27:39- It feels good.- Well, Tom and Emma, first time on the show and straight through to the Head to Head.
0:27:39 > 0:27:44- Didn't expect that.- Brilliant. - Now you can put your heads together.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Very exciting. Best of luck. Let's play the Head to Head.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57OK, here's your first question and it concerns...
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Invasive Species.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Invasive Species.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- I don't need to explain anything more, do I?- No.- No.
0:28:07 > 0:28:14We're about to show you five species of animal that have come into the UK and are detrimental to our wildlife.
0:28:14 > 0:28:20Five animals from abroad detrimental to British wildlife. Just tell us the species
0:28:20 > 0:28:23that each belongs to. What are these animals?
0:28:23 > 0:28:29Thanks, Richard. Let's reveal our five invasive species. And we have got...
0:28:50 > 0:28:55There. Philip and James, you've played best so far, so you go first.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Em, we're going to go for...
0:29:09 > 0:29:12A. Ruddy duck.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- LAUGHTER - Ruddy duck.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21Tom and Emma, talk us through it. Fill in all the blanks.
0:29:21 > 0:29:26- Em...- I think B is signal crayfish, isn't it?- Yes.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Edible dormouse.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31American mink.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34And Colorado beetle. Which one?
0:29:34 > 0:29:39I think mink, maybe. People might think that's a ferret.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Yes, D, American mink, please.
0:29:43 > 0:29:50D, American mink. So we have ruddy duck and we have American mink.
0:29:50 > 0:29:56Philip and James, ruddy duck. Is that right? If it is, how many of our 100 people said it?
0:29:57 > 0:29:59It's right.
0:30:00 > 0:30:0273.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11Tom and Emma have gone for American mink, D. American mink.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Is that right? How many people said it?
0:30:17 > 0:30:21It's absolutely right. Will it beat 73? Yes, it will.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25By quite a long chalk. Look at that. 12.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32Very well done, Tom and Emma. After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:32 > 0:30:37Well played, Tom and Emma. You must be an awesome teaching assistant.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Very impressive. Ruddy duck.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44It is a signal crayfish. That would have scored 16 points.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47It's an edible dormouse.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51Aww. It would have scored 20. Edible dormouse.
0:30:51 > 0:30:56- Like Nando's for people with small appetites.- Yeah.
0:30:56 > 0:31:01And E is a big scorer. It's the Colorado beetle.
0:31:01 > 0:31:07It would have scored 91 points. Probably the most famous, the Colorado beetle.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11Thanks very much, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Philip and James, you have to win this or you're out of the game.
0:31:15 > 0:31:20It concerns... Silent Movie Stars.
0:31:20 > 0:31:26- Silent movie stars. Richard? - We'll show you five anagrams of stars who first became famous
0:31:26 > 0:31:30- in the silent movie era. Unscramble them and pick the best.- OK, thanks.
0:31:30 > 0:31:35Let's reveal our five anagrams of silent movie stars.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48I'll read those all again.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58OK, Tom and Emma...
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Don't really know any of those! Maybe one.
0:32:02 > 0:32:09- Shall we go for the bottom one? - Shall we? The only one that we can work out. Go on.
0:32:09 > 0:32:14- Charlie Chaplin.- The bottom one. - Chinchilla Pear, Charlie Chaplin say Tom and Emma.
0:32:14 > 0:32:20- Philip and James, talk us through the rest of the board.- I'd love to.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24I think that's what we'll go for.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28I can only think of one other silent movie star.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33We're going to have to go for it.
0:32:37 > 0:32:43I don't think it even spells it out, but the only other silent movie star is Marcel Marceau.
0:32:43 > 0:32:50- And that's the top one. - You're saying Marcel Marceau for the top one.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54OK. So we have Charlie Chaplin and Marcel Marceau.
0:32:54 > 0:33:01Tom and Emma went Charlie Chaplin for Chinchilla Pear. Is that right? And how many people said it?
0:33:04 > 0:33:06It's right.
0:33:07 > 0:33:0937.
0:33:14 > 0:33:19So, yes, you have said Marcel Marceau for Ethical Reminder.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Is it right? How many said it?
0:33:24 > 0:33:28Oh, bad luck. Really, really bad luck.
0:33:28 > 0:33:36That was a very, very tough board. But congratulations, Tom and Emma, you are through to the final, 2-0.
0:33:36 > 0:33:41- That was a very tough board. Got any of the others?- One.- Which?
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- Stan Laurel for Lunar Tales. - Absolutely right.
0:33:44 > 0:33:49Would have scored 13 points. Pick From Yard - Mary Pickford.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Would have scored you 17.
0:33:52 > 0:33:58Unload Over Plinth. I couldn't see the anagram. It's Rudolph Valentino.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01It would have scored one point.
0:34:01 > 0:34:07Very well done if you said that. And at the top, not just known for silent movies, Marlene Dietrich.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- AUDIENCE GROAN - Quite. Quite.
0:34:10 > 0:34:17And that's a pointless answer. Very well done if you got that. If you got all five, very impressive.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21My sympathies, Philip and James. That was a really tough board.
0:34:21 > 0:34:29At the end of our Head to Head round, we're saying goodbye to you. A really good show from you today.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32I'm so sorry it ended this way,
0:34:32 > 0:34:37but you've been brilliant contestants. Philip and James, thanks so much.
0:34:39 > 0:34:44But for Tom and Emma it's time for our Pointless final.
0:34:47 > 0:34:53Congratulations, Tom and Emma. You fought off all the competition to win our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:59 > 0:35:05You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot, which stands at £17,000.
0:35:09 > 0:35:16Well, you have done so well. We've had great Scots, we've had Strictly,
0:35:16 > 0:35:21we've had invasive species, silent movie stars.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25You were lagging behind, then a sudden turn of speed.
0:35:25 > 0:35:31Brilliant. What would you like to see in this last round? They're always difficult.
0:35:31 > 0:35:37- What would be a category you'd be really comfortable with? - From my point of view...dogs.
0:35:37 > 0:35:43- Dogs, yes. Animals. - Dogs.- Yeah, animals.- Music, maybe.
0:35:43 > 0:35:48- Music, yeah.- We've got a good range. - OK, the rules are very simple.
0:35:48 > 0:35:53All you need to win that money is to find a pointless answer.
0:35:53 > 0:35:59Do that and you'll go home with that £17,000. First, choose a category from five options.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16Anything grab you there?
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Probably Contemporary Fiction.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22- Let's give that a go. - OK, Contemporary Fiction.
0:36:22 > 0:36:30We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many of the works of Jeffrey Archer as they could.
0:36:30 > 0:36:36- Richard?- We're looking for any work of fiction by Jeffrey Archer including novels, novellas,
0:36:36 > 0:36:42children's books, but not his prison diaries or anything he's edited of anthologies of other people.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46Any of his personal works of fiction. Very, very best of luck.
0:36:46 > 0:36:54You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers. Just one has to be pointless.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58- Are you ready?- Yes. - Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:58 > 0:37:04- There they are. Your time starts now.- What are you thinking? I know nothing.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- Oh, thank you(!)- Good start!
0:37:07 > 0:37:11Do you know any? I don't know any of his titles at all.
0:37:11 > 0:37:16- He's written... - My mind has gone completely blank.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20He must have... I don't know what sort of books he writes.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24- We have to make something up. - It's fiction.- Yes!
0:37:24 > 0:37:31I don't know what sort of... I wouldn't have a clue of what titles he has.
0:37:31 > 0:37:36I do know. They're in the back here. They're in the back here somewhere.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38- They won't come forward.- No.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42- Just make some up. - What do you want to make up, then?
0:37:42 > 0:37:49- Something to do with dogs? Does he write about dogs?- No, I don't think he does, unfortunately.
0:37:49 > 0:37:55- I can see one book cover... - 10 seconds left.- Go on. - No, I can't think what it is.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57- No, I can't.- No.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- I do know...- Come on, think.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03- Think, think.- OK, time is up.
0:38:03 > 0:38:10We were looking for works of Jeffrey Archer. I need three answers from you. Here's fun.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12- Em...- Go on.
0:38:12 > 0:38:18- London's Pride.- London's Pride. - I don't know why I'm saying that. - That'll do.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22- The Mind of Man.- Oh!- Oh... - That's a good title.
0:38:22 > 0:38:27Yeah, The Mind of Man. Oh, The Mind of Man.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- Mine was London Pride. - It's a plant!
0:38:30 > 0:38:34- Maybe it's a book as well, by Jeffrey Archer.- That'd be nice.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36And...
0:38:36 > 0:38:42- A Dog's Day.- Got to have a dog in there somewhere!- And A Dog's Day. - Going downhill now.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45OK, London Pride...
0:38:45 > 0:38:47The Mind of Man.
0:38:47 > 0:38:52- And A Dog's Day. Of those three... - LAUGHTER
0:38:55 > 0:39:00..which do you think is your best chance of a pointless answer?
0:39:00 > 0:39:04- The Mind of Man, surely! - I like The Mind of Man a lot.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08That's going third. Should we put A Dog's Day first?
0:39:08 > 0:39:13- I think so. - And then London Pride in the middle. We'll pop those up on the board.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15- Oh, dear.- And here they are.
0:39:23 > 0:39:28We're looking for the works of Jeffrey Archer. A Dog's Day is your least confident answer.
0:39:28 > 0:39:34If you find a pointless answer, you will win the jackpot of £17,000.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Let's see if A Dog's Day is right.
0:39:40 > 0:39:45- Oh!- Really?!- Alas... - Oh, it should have been. - ..not a pointless answer.
0:39:45 > 0:39:52Let's say The Mind of Man, which is your third answer, somebody's got to have written that, surely.
0:39:52 > 0:39:57What if that won you £17,000? What would you go and do with that?
0:39:57 > 0:40:02- Once we've picked ourselves up off the floor?- Yeah.
0:40:02 > 0:40:07We were hoping, as a family to go to Disney in Florida.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Anything else, Tom?
0:40:10 > 0:40:15I've got a camper van. I'd like to buy a little bit bigger camper van.
0:40:15 > 0:40:20You never know. Let's not write these two books off. London's Pride.
0:40:20 > 0:40:26- If someone hasn't written London's Pride, I'll be very surprised. - I might write it.
