0:00:15 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Welcome to Pointless, where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:40- Couple number one... - Hi, I'm Dan, this is my fiancee Amy, and we live in Birmingham.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42And couple number two...
0:00:42 > 0:00:44I'm Gail. This is Bill.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47He's the husband of a very dear friend of mine.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Couple number three...
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Ashley. This is Sam. We're friends from the University of Chichester.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53And couple number four...
0:00:53 > 0:00:56I'm Elliot, from Plumstead,
0:00:56 > 0:00:58this is Tanya, from Bromley,
0:00:58 > 0:00:59and we're mates.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03- These are today's contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:01:04 > 0:01:09Thanks very much, everyone. We'll find out more about you as the show goes along.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11There's one person left to introduce.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13If he were a boxer, he'd be known as Richard
0:01:13 > 0:01:18"as always, by country, I mean a sovereign state in its own right" Osman!
0:01:18 > 0:01:24- He is my Pointless friend. He's Richard.- Hiya! Hello!
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- Have you recovered from the last show yet?- Oh!- How about that?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32I'm still a bit hung-over, to be honest,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- from all of Ivor's whiskey!- Yes.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39We gave away the biggest jackpot in Pointless history.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- It was terrific. They won it on Philip Pullman novels.- Yes.
0:01:42 > 0:01:47- Absolutely lovely, so -- And the party afterwards was fantastic!
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- It was sensational!- Oh!
0:01:49 > 0:01:53That Ivor knows some stories, doesn't he? Whoo!
0:01:53 > 0:01:58What happens at Ivor's party stays at Ivor's party. Am I right?
0:01:58 > 0:02:03We've got three returning pairs here. We've got one new pair - Elliot and Tanya.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06We start again with the jackpot and we'll build it up, I'm sure.
0:02:06 > 0:02:11But an amazing show last time. If you didn't see it, have a look on iPlayer.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Ivor and Lindsay were very well-deserving winners, weren't they?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17They really were. Fantastic. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20All questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Our contestants need to find the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer that none of them gave.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34As you may have gathered Ivor and Lindsay won the jackpot,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37so today's starts off at £1,000.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49I'll take an answer off each of you, but there is to be no conferring.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54Whoever has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated. Make sure that's not you.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Our first category today is...
0:02:59 > 0:03:04Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Whoever's first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13OK, the question concerns...
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- ..Famous Nordic People. - GIGGLING
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Famous Nordic People. Richard.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22We'll show you clues to the identities of seven Nordic people -
0:03:22 > 0:03:25that's anyone born in Sweden, Denmark, Norway or Finland.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30Give us an obscure answer, you'll score fewer points. A wrong answer will score you 100.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32There's 14 to have a go at at home. Good luck.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37OK. Thank you very much indeed. Let's put these clues on the board.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Here is our first board of seven. We've got...
0:03:59 > 0:04:01I'll read those one last time.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23There we are. Seven clues to seven famous Nordic types.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Amy?- Yes.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Welcome back to Pointless. What do you hope is going to come up?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- Not that!- Not Nordic people?
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- No!- Oh, I'm so sorry! I thought that's what you wanted.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40Anything book-related would've been a big thumbs-up from me.
0:04:40 > 0:04:46- Remind us what you do, Amy.- I work in a little book shop in Solihull.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- Come on, books! Yay! - Come on, books!- Yes!
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Now then, famous Nordic people.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57I only know one of those.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Erm... I'm going to have to go with the only one I know,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03which is Ulrika Jonsson for Shooting Stars captain.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Ulrika Jonsson, says Amy. Let's see if that's right.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Let's see how many of our 100 people said Ulrika Jonsson.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14- Absolutely right. - Thank God for that!
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- 36. - APPLAUSE
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- 36 for Ulrika Jonsson. - Ulrika Jonsson.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Born in Sweden in 1967.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Now then, Bill, welcome back. Another returning pair.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36You're retired. Remind us what you used to do.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- I used to be in the travel business. - Right.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Did you ever travel round Nordic countries?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43No, I haven't, actually.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47So, er, I'm not sure about several of these.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I know the answer to about three.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54I think, possibly, I'm going to go for Edvard Munch,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57with the painting of The Scream.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Edvard Munch, says Bill.- Yes.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02OK, Munch. Let's see if that's right
0:06:02 > 0:06:05and how many of our 100 people said Munch.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08He's right.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- 24. - APPLAUSE
0:06:15 > 0:06:19A new low score for Edvard Munch,
0:06:19 > 0:06:20or "Munk", some people say.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Good answer. There's four versions of The Scream.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28One of them sold for 119 million in 2012.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Wow.- That's a lot of money.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Wow?! Is that all I could come up with? Wow?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- I should've gone...! - LAUGHTER
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Very good.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Now then, Sam, remind us what you do.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47I am a student at the University of Chichester.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Studying?- Sport psychology.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Sport psychology. OK.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56What sport psychology are you going to use in this round?
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Not a lot. It's not the best round for me.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04I knew the top answer. It's going to be a guess, I think.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09Erm, I'm going to go for the Liverpool midfielder
0:07:09 > 0:07:12and say Michael Laudrup.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Michael Laudrup. Oh! Ashley doesn't think so!
0:07:16 > 0:07:20But we'll see! Michael Laudrup, says Sam.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Let's see if that's right and how many people knew that answer.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Ooh! Bad luck, Sam.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Unfortunately, an incorrect answer, which means you score 100 points.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- I'm sorry. Richard. - Sorry, Sam. He is Nordic,
0:07:32 > 0:07:36but he doesn't fit any of the facts I've put on the board.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I'll give you the answer at the end.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- OK. Elliot?- Hello.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Welcome to the show. Great to have you here.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- What do you do, Elliot? - I'm a computer programmer.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47What kind of programs do you make?
0:07:47 > 0:07:51It's financial software that gets sold to banks. It's not very interesting.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- Unless you're a banker! Then, it's fascinating!- Exactly!
0:07:55 > 0:07:57What do you like to get up to when you're not doing that?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00I like collecting music. I own 6,000 CDs.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Wow! Are you a DJ or anything? - I'm not a DJ.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- Just an anorak, is the word for it. - Just an avid collector.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Any particular style of music you like?
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- Mostly dance music.- Right. - House, trance, drum and bass.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14All that loud rubbish!
0:08:14 > 0:08:16You love drum and bass, don't you?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18I love anything that's -
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Dubstep or drum and bass, what's your favourite?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Oh! You've put me on the spot there!
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Erm... Probably drum and bass, actually.- Yes.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- You're quite old school, aren't you? - Yes. Old school.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Anything that sounds like stuff falling out of a cupboard,
0:08:34 > 0:08:38- I am right there! Yes. - LAUGHTER
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- OK. Now then, Elliot, that board is yours.- OK.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- How good are you on Nordics? - I know one answer,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47and I know the surname of another one.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Er, I think the peace prize is... I'm sure it's Nobel.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53However, I'm going to go for the lead singer of A-ha.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- It's Morten Harket.- Morten Harket.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Morten Harket. OK. Let's see if that's right.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Let's see how many people remember Morten Harket.
0:09:03 > 0:09:08It's right. 24 is our best score so far.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Morten Harket. Going down. Ooh!
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- 25. - APPLAUSE
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Not bad at all, Elliot.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- Good answer.- Yes. Morten Harket, born in 1959 in Norway.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- It's a name a generation of people won't forget!- Yes.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Let's take a look at the rest. The author of Hedda Gabler?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Ibsen.- Henrik Ibsen, absolutely. 10 points.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34It is Nobel who invented dynamite. Alfred Nobel.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Would've scored 53. You did very well to avoid it.
0:09:37 > 0:09:42- Leader of the first expedition? - Amundsen.- Absolutely. 29 points.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46It's not Michael Laudrup, 1984 to 1996, for Liverpool.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48It's Jan Molby.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51It's the best answer up there. 4 points. Well done if you said that.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Jan Molby was one of the first footballers
0:09:53 > 0:09:56to have that half-Scandinavian half-Scouse accent.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- Brilliant.- It was just perfect.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Thank you very much indeed. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:10:02 > 0:10:0524 - the best score of that pass.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Well done. Bill and Gail looking pretty strong.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Up to 25, Elliot and Tanya. Up to 36, Amy and Dan.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16And bad luck, Sam and Ashley. 100.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18You are way out in front.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21However, anything can happen in the next pass. Who knows?
0:10:21 > 0:10:26As long as you answer well, Ashley, you may still be with us at the end.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:32 > 0:10:37OK. Let's put seven more clues on the board to famous Nordic people.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39We have got...
0:11:01 > 0:11:03I'll read those all one final time.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28There we are. We are looking for the names of these famous Nordic people.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32- Now then, Tanya.- Hello. - Welcome. What do you do, Tanya?
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- I'm currently on maternity leave. - Congratulations. How old is your baby?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38I've got a five-month-old called Jake
0:11:38 > 0:11:41and a two-year-old called Joshua. He's a big fan of the show.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Excellent. Hi, Joshua. And hi, Jake, of course.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46LAUGHTER
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- Babies love the sound of the column. - They do. Joshua cheers.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- Unless it's a wrong answer. They don't like that.- No!
0:11:53 > 0:11:57- What did you do before, Tanya? - I was an adoption social worker.
0:11:57 > 0:12:03- That must be very fulfilling, mustn't it?- It's a nice job. It's the nice end of social work.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06OK. Very good. Now, the high scorers are Ashley and Sam on 100.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09You're on 25. If you can score 74 or less,
0:12:09 > 0:12:11you'll be through to the next round.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16But just so Jake's got something to listen to for longer, try and get a nice low score!
0:12:16 > 0:12:18That would be the idea.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21OK, this should be good for me because I'm half-Danish.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Oh, it's a shoo-in!
0:12:23 > 0:12:25The last board was amazing.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30I know a few on this one. It's hard to know which will be lowest.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34I think I'll go Directed The Film "The Seventh Seal",
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Ingmar Bergman.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Ingmar Bergman, says Tanya. Ingmar Bergman.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Here is your red line. Below that, you are in Round Two.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47Let's see if Ingmar Bergman is right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Absolutely right. And you are through.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- 10. - APPLAUSE
0:12:57 > 0:13:0110. Very well done. Takes your total up to 35.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Swedish filmmaker and producer. Won three Oscars, all for Best Foreign Film.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Now then, Ashley...
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- Ashley, welcome back.- Thanks!
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Tell us also what you do.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18I do the same as Sam at the University of Chichester, doing sport and exercise psychology.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- Very good. Now, you have a very high score there.- Yes.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27Do any of your areas of expertise cover these sorts of characters?
0:13:27 > 0:13:32Well, I worked at Wimbledon this summer and last summer,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35so I think I'll just have to go for Bjorn Borg.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38OK. Bjorn Borg, says Ashley. You are the high scorers.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43You'll just have to hope Bjorn Borg takes you a long way down.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Bjorn Borg. How many people said it?
0:13:50 > 0:13:52- 45. - APPLAUSE
0:13:53 > 0:13:5945, Ashley. Takes your total up to an unbeatable 145. Richard...
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Big score. Former world number one. Won 11 Grand Slam titles.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Bjorn Borg. Born in Sweden in 1956.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Thanks very much. Now then, Gail...
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Great news - you are through to the next round.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16Even if you score 100 points, you won't overtake Ashley and Sam on 145.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- Gail, you used to be a fashion model.- That's right.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- An international fashion model. - Absolutely.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26What was the most glamorous job you did as a model?
0:14:26 > 0:14:31Probably my first trip to Paris, which was amazing, just after I'd had my daughter.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36We were photographed in the middle of the Champs-Elysee, traffic going backwards and forwards.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38We actually did the show at the Olympia in Paris,
0:14:38 > 0:14:43which is even bigger than the London Palladium, so that was quite something.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- And Zizi Jeanmaire was on the same stage as us!- Very good.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- Now then, Gail, the board of Nordic people behind me...- Yes.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Well, I think the last board I preferred.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59Erm, this one, I'm going to have a bit of a punt, as they say,
0:14:59 > 0:15:04and say Gustav Holst for the composer of the Finlandia.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Gustav Holst, says Gail. Let's see if that right and -
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Bill doesn't look very happy.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15There's no red line for you because you're already through, so we needn't worry.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Holst.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Bad luck, Gail. An incorrect answer. Scores you 100 points.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26You're through to Round Two, so it couldn't matter less.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28It was worth taking a punt on something, wasn't it?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Gustav Holst not Nordic, I'm afraid.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Now then, Dan,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36are your preparations for your wedding
0:15:36 > 0:15:39any further along the line since last time?
0:15:39 > 0:15:44I think I've decided what underwear I'm wearing, but that's about it.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46OK. Good. This is good!
0:15:46 > 0:15:51At this rate, you should have pretty much a full costume by the time the day dawns.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Very good. Anyway, Dan, listen, enough of this flim-flam.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00Time to get on with the important matter of famous Nordic people.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03The board behind me is full of blanks that you can fill in.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06You're through to the next round, anyway.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10Even if you score 100, you won't overtake Ashley and Sam.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- That's really good news. - It is good news.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Talk us through the board, see if there's anything you know.
0:16:15 > 0:16:21Widely-used temperature scale - possibly Fahrenheit. Maybe. I'm not quite sure.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26Erm, I'm going to have a punt at the fairy story, The Emperor's New Clothes
0:16:26 > 0:16:29and say Hans Christian Andersen.
0:16:29 > 0:16:34Hans Christian Andersen, says Dan. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36No red line for you.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40It's right.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- 41. - APPLAUSE
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Very well done. Takes your total up to 77.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Born 1805 in Denmark, Hans Christian Andersen.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Let's take a look at the rest of them.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58The widely-used temperature scale... Not Fahrenheit. The other one.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03- Celsius.- Absolutely. Anders Celsius, a Swede, would've scored 10.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07The composer of the tone poem Finlandia? Not Holst...
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Sibelius.- Jean Sibelius. Sorry. - No, no, no, no!
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- That's about all I can answer. - Would've scored 9.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17- Surely you know who won the F1 Drivers Championship?- Mika Hakkinen.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19It is. Very well done. The Finn. Would've scored 6.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- And the fascist leader? - I think I know this. Is it Quisling?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Absolutely right. Another name for a traitor.
0:17:25 > 0:17:2817 points. Vidkun is his first name, but we would've taken Quisling.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- Oh! Vidkun!- Lovely name for a boy. - Isn't it?
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- Lovely name for a traitor. - LAUGHTER
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Thank you very much indeed.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41The pair who'll be leaving us, with their high score of 145, Ashley and Sam.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Head-to-headers last time. Round One-ers this time.
0:17:45 > 0:17:50- It's been great having you on. Thanks so much for playing. - BOTH: Thanks.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55But for the three remaining pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Sadly, at the end of this round, another pair will be leaving us.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06I wonder which pair it's going to be.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Elliot and Tanya, you did very well.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- Half-Danish, Tanya?- That's right. - Well done.- Thank you.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Very well done. Good answering.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18Gail and Bill, you came through, despite Holst! That was a good stab in the dark.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Very best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Our category for Round Two is...
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Classic Novels.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first?
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Whoever's going first, please set up to the podium.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38The question concerns...
0:18:40 > 0:18:44Novels of 19th Century Authors. Richard.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Xander's going to show you the names of five classic novelists.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52All you have to do is tell us any novel by any of these novelists.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54A perfect round for anyone doing GCSE English.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Or anyone who works in a book shop. LAUGHTER
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Very good indeed!
0:18:59 > 0:19:03We are going to put the names of five authors on the board.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05They'll remain there for the whole round.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10You just have to name any novel by any one of those five novelists.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14OK. Here are the names of the authors...
0:19:21 > 0:19:22I'll read those one last time.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Now then, Dan...
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Dan, how are we feeling about this?
0:19:34 > 0:19:38Erm, it's not my strongest subject,
0:19:38 > 0:19:45however, I think I know... possibly a Jane Austen novel
0:19:45 > 0:19:47and I'm going to say
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Sense and Sensibility.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54Sense and Sensibility, says Dan. Let's see if that's right.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57How many of our 100 people said it?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59He's right.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- 16. - APPLAUSE
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Not bad, Dan. 16.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Jane Austen's first published novel, in 1811.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Now then, Bill, how do we feel about this subject?
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Er, with one particular writer, pretty good.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- What are you going to go for? - George Eliot, Middlemarch.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Middlemarch, says Bill. Let's see if that's right
0:20:28 > 0:20:31and how many people said it.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Absolutely right.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- 10. - APPLAUSE
0:20:40 > 0:20:4310 for Middlemarch, Bill.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- Very well done. - You're a George Eliot fan, are you?
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- I'm reading it on Kindle at the moment!- That's handy!
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Other book-reading devices are available!
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- LAUGHTER - Thank you very much indeed.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Now then, Elliot,
0:20:57 > 0:20:58how are we feeling?
0:20:58 > 0:21:03Like I've turned up to an exam I've not revised for!
0:21:03 > 0:21:06I'm really sorry, Tanya, I've got something really obvious.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- Pride and Prejudice.- OK.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Pride and Prejudice. Well, Sense and Sensibility scored 16.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Let's see. Pride and Prejudice. How many people said it?
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- APPLAUSE - Well, there's your answer.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- A lot worse.- Quite a lot worse! 42 for Pride and Prejudice! Wow!
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Talk about prejudice!
0:21:31 > 0:21:34It's quite low, isn't it? Probably her most famous novel.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Well, it is her most famous novel, from 1813.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40There we are. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Bill, once again, lovely low score from Bill and Gail.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47You're looking pretty strong on 10.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Then up to 16.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Then up to 42, where Elliot and Tanya are.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Tanya, we need a really good low score from you
0:21:55 > 0:21:58to make sure you're with us at the end.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:06 > 0:22:10OK. So we still have our five authors up there.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13No-one yet has gone for Elizabeth Gaskell.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Tanya, are you tempted?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Yes. I could do.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18I have got a degree in English.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23- You've done well with the categories for me today.- Buh-rilliant!
0:22:23 > 0:22:27You are the high scorers. We need a really good low score.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29OK.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32In that case, I'll go a bit risky.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36I'll go Wilkie Collins,
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Armadale.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Armadale.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42No red line for you. You are the high scorers on 42.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Let's see how many of our 100 people said Armadale.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48It's right.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Down it goes. A great answer.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58Yes! Very well done indeed! That's a pointless answer!
0:22:58 > 0:23:03It adds £250 today's jackpot, taking the total up to £1,250.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08It scores you nothing and it leaves your total at 42.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Let's hope that's enough to keep you in the game.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- Richard.- Terrific answer. Well done. From 1866.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18That jackpot is nudging its way back up to 20,000, isn't it?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20- Incrementally, yes. - LAUGHTER
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Now then, Gail...
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- Gail, how are you feeling about this?- Not very good.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Erm...
0:23:29 > 0:23:33The two I knew, obvious ones, have gone,
0:23:33 > 0:23:37but... I shall say Emma.
0:23:37 > 0:23:42Emma, says Gail. The high scorers are Tanya and Elliot. You're on 10.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47If you can score 31 or less, you're through to the next round. There is your red line.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Let's see if Emma can get you below that red line. Emma.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00You've done it. Absolutely spot on!
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- 31 you needed. 31 you got. - APPLAUSE
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Very well done indeed, Gail.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11- 41, your total. Richard. - That was close, wasn't it?- Yes.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Emma. The last novel to be published in Jane Austen's lifetime.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17OK. Now, Amy,
0:24:17 > 0:24:20you wanted books, we got books for you.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23It's a little bit before my time!
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Do you only read books after you were born?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29I mean, we all only read books after we're born, of course!
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- But do you only read books written after you were born?- Yes.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38All the ones I knew have been said already, so it's a bit "Grr!"
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Erm...
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Robinson Crusoe.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45I don't know!
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Robinson Crusoe, says Amy. Robinson Crusoe.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Well, you're on 16. The high scorers are Tanya and Elliot.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56If you can score 25 or less, you're in the head-to-head.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Robinson Crusoe, though...
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Let's find out, is it right?
0:25:03 > 0:25:08Bad luck, Amy. We did books for you specially!
0:25:08 > 0:25:11But it wasn't my vampire books. I would've been all over that!
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- You didn't say vampire books! You said books!- You said books.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17I didn't want to give away my strengths.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21I spent all last night doing a book question for you.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25Unfortunately, an incorrect answer. It scores you 100 points. Takes your total up to 116.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Robinson Crusoe is Daniel Defoe, I'm afraid.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers here.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Basil, which is Wilkie Collins, would've been a pointless answer.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36George Eliot's Daniel Deronda.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Hide and Seek, that's also Wilkie Collins.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell is a pointless answer. Ruth, also.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Romola, which is George Eliot, that's pointless.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51The Dead Secret and The Law and the Lady, Wilkie Collins,
0:25:51 > 0:25:54and Elizabeth Gaskell's Wives and Daughters, as well.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56There's a bunch of Wilkie Collins novels which were pointless.
0:25:56 > 0:26:01Anything other than The Moonstone and The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
0:26:01 > 0:26:03was a pointless answer.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Thank you, Richard. At the end of Round Two,
0:26:06 > 0:26:11our losing pair, with their high score of 116, are Amy and Dan.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Dear, oh, dear!
0:26:13 > 0:26:15That was a shame!
0:26:15 > 0:26:16- A real shame!- Never mind.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19You had some of the other ones, presumably, that others had taken?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Yes. I was going to say Emma.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24This cheeky lady on the front row said it first!
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Dear, oh, dear! Anyway, listen, great to have you on the show.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32I'm sorry we have to say goodbye to you so soon. Thanks for playing.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34APPLAUSE
0:26:34 > 0:26:37But for the two remaining pairs, things are about to get exciting
0:26:37 > 0:26:40as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Congratulations, Elliot and Tanya, Gail and Bill.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50You are one round from the final and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:26:50 > 0:26:54- which currently stands at £1,250. - CHEERING
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Only one pair can play for that money
0:26:59 > 0:27:02and to decide which pair it is, you will go head-to-head.
0:27:02 > 0:27:07You are allowed to confer. The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09So, Gail and Bill...
0:27:09 > 0:27:12I mean, Elliot and Tanya - we've given them everything they wanted.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16They've had Nordic People and 19th-Century Novelists.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20These are the things you wanted. These are the things we got.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- What would you like in this round? - Countries or Language.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26OK. Gail?
0:27:26 > 0:27:30- Words. I like anagrams, those sorts of things.- Oh, yes! They come up!
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- And sometimes Food and Drink is good.- Very good indeed.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38You can put your heads together from now on. Anything can happen.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47OK, here comes your first question.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50It concerns...
0:27:51 > 0:27:55- LAUGHTER - That's what you wanted, wasn't it?
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- Yes, it's what Gail and Bill wanted. - Somebody asked for it.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01- Fictional Nuns.- It might've been you who asked for it.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04We'll show you five pictures of nuns from TV and film.
0:28:04 > 0:28:09Tell us the name of the actor playing any of these nuns, please. Best of luck.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12OK, let's reveal our five fictional nuns.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Here they are. We have got...
0:28:29 > 0:28:32LAUGHTER
0:28:32 > 0:28:35There we are.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Five fictional nuns. Elliot and Tanya have played best
0:28:38 > 0:28:41so they get to go first.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57- (Is that Raquel Welch?) - Yes, I think it is.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59THEY WHISPER
0:28:59 > 0:29:05OK. We don't have a consensus on which answer to go for. Erm...
0:29:05 > 0:29:08We're going to say B, Audrey Hepburn.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10B, Audrey Hepburn.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13B, Audrey Hepburn, say Elliot and Tanya.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Gail and Bill, talk us through the others.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20Erm, well, we know E is Frankie Howerd,
0:29:20 > 0:29:22- C...- C is Whoopi Goldberg.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25We'll say C, Whoopi Goldberg.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27C, Whoopi Goldberg, say Gail and Bill.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31We have Audrey Hepburn versus Whoopi Goldberg.
0:29:31 > 0:29:37Elliot and Tanya say Audrey Hepburn. Let's see if B is Audrey Hepburn and how many people said it.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41It's right.
0:29:44 > 0:29:4625.
0:29:50 > 0:29:5225 for Audrey Hepburn.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Whoopi Goldberg. Let's see if that's right
0:29:55 > 0:30:00and how many of our 100 people said C was Whoopi Goldberg.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03It's right. Is it going to beat Audrey Hepburn?
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- No, it's not. - APPLAUSE
0:30:08 > 0:30:12Very well done, Elliot and Tanya. You are up 1-0. Richard.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16Audrey Hepburn in The Nun's Story and Whoopi Goldberg in Sister Act.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19You're right about E, as well, Gail,
0:30:19 > 0:30:22but it would've scored you 51.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25That's from Up the Chastity Belt, of course.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29Gail, I heard you whisper something about D. Who did you think it might be?
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- I thought it was...- Raquel Welch. - Yes.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34You're absolutely right, it is.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37It would've scored 14 points. GAIL GROANS
0:30:37 > 0:30:39It would've won you the question.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- And A... do you know A? - I don't know A.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46It's Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay Lohan as a nun in Machete.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Would've scored you 6 points.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51She makes a cracking nun, doesn't she?
0:30:51 > 0:30:54- Doesn't Raquel Welch, as well?- Yes!
0:30:54 > 0:30:57- And Frankie, to be fair!- Yes.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01Very good. Brilliant. OK, thanks very much indeed.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05Here comes your second question. Gail and Bill need to win this to stay in the game.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07It concerns...
0:31:09 > 0:31:14- Richard.- We'll show you the names of five volcanoes from around the world
0:31:14 > 0:31:17but we've missed alternate letters. Can you fill in the gaps?
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Thanks very much.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23Let's reveal our five volcanoes with alternate letters missing.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25We have got...
0:31:37 > 0:31:39I'll read those all again without the blanks.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50There we are. Five volcanoes.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Bill and Gail, you go first this time.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- Krakatoa?- Do you know the others?
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- Vesuvius.- That'll be high, won't it?
0:31:58 > 0:32:00What about second from bottom?
0:32:00 > 0:32:04We're going to go for the bottom one, Krakatoa.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Krakatoa, say Gail and Bill.
0:32:07 > 0:32:08Elliot and Tanya,
0:32:08 > 0:32:10see how many of those you can fill in.
0:32:10 > 0:32:15I've only got one other one. I think you've got a few more, haven't you?
0:32:15 > 0:32:19- What have you got? - I've got Vesuvius.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21The top one's Stromboli.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25I would guess, I don't know it, but the fourth one, I'm seeing Tombola.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28But that's just a guess, just because I can see that word.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30I don't know the third. What do you think?
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- I've never heard of Stromboli. - Haven't you?- No.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37- Maybe we should go for that one. - OK. I'm pretty sure of it.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39OK. Stromboli.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42We have Stromboli versus Krakatoa.
0:32:42 > 0:32:47Gail and Bill went Krakatoa. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51It is right. Krakatoa.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Down it goes. 42.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56APPLAUSE
0:32:57 > 0:33:0142. Elliot and Tanya, you have gone for Stromboli.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07If you win this, you go straight through to the final.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Absolutely right.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Well done. You've done it.
0:33:15 > 0:33:1714.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Very, very well done indeed. Elliot and Tanya,
0:33:22 > 0:33:26after two questions, you are through to the final, 2-0.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Well played, Tanya. Terrific answer.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30The second one down is Vesuvius.
0:33:30 > 0:33:35It would've scored 80, so well avoided.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Now, T-M-O-A, Tombola would fit, but it's not Tombola.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42It's Tambora, which is an Indonesian volcano.
0:33:42 > 0:33:47It had an even more extraordinarily huge eruption than Krakatoa back in the 19th century,
0:33:47 > 0:33:50the biggest eruption in recorded history.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53The other one is a pointless answer.
0:33:53 > 0:33:58You may not have heard of it, but some people at home might've filled in the gaps.
0:33:58 > 0:34:03It's in Chile and it's the Hudson. It's a pointless answer.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10Our losing pair, I'm afraid it's Gail and Bill.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14You've done such a good job, though. You've sailed through majestically.
0:34:14 > 0:34:19And then, in the head-to-head, I'm afraid you've just come up against Elliot and Tanya,
0:34:19 > 0:34:22who were quite a formidable foe there.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Two perfectly good answers - Whoopi Goldberg and Krakatoa.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29Just Stromboli... That was good volcano-spotting!
0:34:29 > 0:34:35Isn't Stromboli a pasta or something? A soup or something?
0:34:35 > 0:34:37It's a volcano.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- LAUGHTER - That's exactly what it is.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Gail and Bill, I'm afraid this is where we have to say goodbye.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50It's been lovely having you on. Thank you so much for playing. Great contestants.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52APPLAUSE
0:34:52 > 0:34:56But for Elliot and Tanya, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Congratulations, Elliot and Tanya.
0:35:01 > 0:35:06You have fought off the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15The jackpot stands at...
0:35:17 > 0:35:19CHEERING
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Whose idea was it to come on Pointless?
0:35:25 > 0:35:29- We were both chomping at the bit, weren't we?- Yes.- Very good.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33I'm guessing, Elliot, Tanya was the obvious choice of person to come on with.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37Maybe that's unfair. But I would say Tanya's done a lot of the heavy lifting.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41- She has done. She's been very good, actually.- Thank you.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44- You got the only pointless of the game, as well.- Absolutely.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Think how much Jake would've enjoyed that going all the way down!
0:35:47 > 0:35:50- They'll go wild for that. - Very good.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54- Very best of luck. Anything you'd particularly like to see? - Music would be good.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56The periodic table.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Countries and capitals. That sort of stuff.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01- OK.- Fingers crossed. - Fingers crossed.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05Let's see. It always needs a bit of specialist knowledge, this one.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07The rules are very simple.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11All you have to do is find a pointless answer. You've already found one today.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15Do that and you'll go home with that jackpot of £1,250.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19You've got to choose a category. Here are your five options.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28- ELLIOT CHUCKLES - There's no Music.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31There's no Music. Let's count stuff out.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34- Tennis Stars, that is 100 percent no for me.- No.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36BOTH: US Politics, no.
0:36:36 > 0:36:37Honours, no.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Mexico? What could that be?
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- States in Mexico or something. - That'd be no for me, as well.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Which means it's all on you and Modern Playwrights.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49All right. I may know nothing. It depends who it is.
0:36:49 > 0:36:54- Are you all right with that? - We've had a good time! You've got a trophy!- OK.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Modern Playwrights it is. Let's find out what the question is.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:36:59 > 0:37:05to name as many Tom Stoppard Plays as they could.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09- Richard.- We're looking for the title of any Tom Stoppard stage play, please.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12We'll include adaptations but not translations.
0:37:12 > 0:37:17Any Tom Stoppard stage play written up to the end of October 2012.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Where some of those works are in trilogies,
0:37:19 > 0:37:24we'll accept either the title or the individual works within it. Very best of luck.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31All you need to win that jackpot of £1,250
0:37:31 > 0:37:35- is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Ready?- Yes.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44- On The Razzle.- On The Razzle. - I've seen that. Erm...
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- Arcadia is obvious.- OK.- Erm...
0:37:47 > 0:37:52I think there's one called something like Artist Descending A Staircase.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56- OK.- Let me just try and remember another one.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Erm...
0:38:04 > 0:38:07We'll have to go for Arcadia. I can't...
0:38:09 > 0:38:13I'm trying to think of one. It's one word and it's not coming.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21I'm not sure if it's Artist Descending A Staircase or...
0:38:21 > 0:38:24..Artist Descends A Staircase.
0:38:24 > 0:38:29- I could try both. - I'd try Descending, because there's a song called something like that.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33- 10 seconds. - It could be based on that.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45OK. Time is up. We are looking for Tom Stoppard Plays.
0:38:45 > 0:38:46I now need your three answers.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49- On The Razzle.- On The Razzle.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52- Artist Descends A Staircase. - Artist...- Or Descending.
0:38:52 > 0:38:57- Shall we go for Descending? - "Artist Descending" you want?- Yes.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59I don't think Arcadia is going to be pointless,
0:38:59 > 0:39:02so we could try Descends and Descending.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- Should we do that?- Yes.- OK. - On The Razzle's much more likely.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- OK.- Artist Descends A Staircase.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11I just hope those are by Tom Stoppard!
0:39:11 > 0:39:15- OK.- On The Razzle is. - I think it's a good plan.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:19 > 0:39:24- On The Razzle, because I know that's right. - On The Razzle, we shall put last.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Which is your least likely shot?
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Artist Descending A Staircase.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Artist Descending A Staircase we'll put first.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36Let's pop those up on the board. Here they are. We have got...
0:39:41 > 0:39:45OK. We were looking for Tom Stoppard Plays.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Your first answer, Artist Descending A Staircase,
0:39:47 > 0:39:51which you thought was your least likely shot at a pointless answer.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54If this were to win the jackpot for you,
0:39:54 > 0:39:58what would you do with £1,250, Tanya?
0:39:58 > 0:40:02- I need to buy a house and a car. - LAUGHTER
0:40:02 > 0:40:05- Good luck with that. - LAUGHTER
0:40:05 > 0:40:10- Elliot -- You should've been on the last show.- I know!
0:40:11 > 0:40:12Elliot.
0:40:12 > 0:40:17It'll be 625. I could go on holiday with that. Little holiday somewhere. Why not?
0:40:17 > 0:40:20- Why not?- It'd be good. - OK. Well, let's see.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Artist Descending A Staircase, your first answer.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26For £1,250, it has to be right, it has to be pointless.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Let's see if anyone said it.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31It is right.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35Artist Descending A Staircase, your first answer.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39Down it goes, through the 20s, into the teens, into single figures.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Still going down! You've done it! Look at that!
0:40:42 > 0:40:46- CHEERING - Very, very well played indeed!
0:40:46 > 0:40:50Wow! Artist Descending A Staircase. Very good indeed. Brilliant.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53- Thank you very much! - Very well done. Good stuff.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01- Wow! Congratulations. You covered your bases.- We did.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Brilliant. Artist Descending A Staircase.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06A fantastic answer, a pointless answer,
0:41:06 > 0:41:09which means you leave with a jackpot of £1,250.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12- APPLAUSE - Very good indeed.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19No offence to Elliot, but how good is Tanya?
0:41:19 > 0:41:21- She's very good!- Amazing!
0:41:21 > 0:41:26It quite often happens that the jackpot doesn't go for a long time and then goes a lot in a few shows.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29But that's absolutely terrific. Very well played.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33And tactically brilliant, as well. You did exactly the right thing.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36If you had got that word wrong, we wouldn't have taken it.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39- Let's take a look - - Can I see if I've got a couple?
0:41:39 > 0:41:43- You're very good at these.- Hapgood. Was that what you were thinking of?
0:41:43 > 0:41:46- Hapgood would've scored you 1 point. - Oh!
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Every Good Boy Deserves Favour.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Pointless answer. APPLAUSE
0:41:52 > 0:41:53Get in!
0:41:54 > 0:41:57You know you don't get the money, don't you?
0:41:57 > 0:42:00What?
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Unless Tanya and Elliot think it's appropriate to share it?
0:42:03 > 0:42:06- No.- To be honest, you've done as much as Elliot
0:42:06 > 0:42:08to earn it! LAUGHTER
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Aww!
0:42:11 > 0:42:16- Elliot's been the moral support! - Don't "Ahh"! He just won!
0:42:16 > 0:42:20Let's take a look at some of the other pointless answers.
0:42:20 > 0:42:21HE READS TITLES
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Rock'N'Roll. One of those recent ones.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39There's a few more. Dalliance would've been a pointless answer. Indian Ink.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43Voyage also pointless. Very well done if you said any of those.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Very well played, Elliot and Tanya. Brilliant throughout.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49Thanks very much indeed. Thanks to our winning players, Elliot and Tanya,
0:42:49 > 0:42:53who go away with today's jackpot of £1,250.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55- Very well done. - APPLAUSE
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Join us next time when we put more obscure knowledge to the test.
0:43:00 > 0:43:05- It's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07APPLAUSE
