0:00:20 > 0:00:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27I'm Alexander Armstrong and a very warm welcome to Pointless, the quiz
0:00:27 > 0:00:30where obvious answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34APPLAUSE
0:00:37 > 0:00:38Couple Number One.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Hi, I'm Katie, this is Jenna and we are sisters from Barrow-in-Furness.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43And our second couple?
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Leah and this is Neil and we're a couple from London.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48And our third couple?
0:00:48 > 0:00:50I'm Jacquie, I'm from West Sussex
0:00:50 > 0:00:52and this is my friend Barry from Tooting.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56- We've been good friends for 28 years.- And our final couple.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59I'm Paul, this is my partner Steven and we're from Glasgow.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01And these are our contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Thank you very much for introducing yourselves.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13There is only one person left to introduce.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14If obscurity were a crime,
0:01:14 > 0:01:18he'd be serving life with no chance of parole.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23APPLAUSE
0:01:23 > 0:01:27- Good afternoon.- Top of the afternoon to you.- How are you?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- I'm extremely well.- I get confused, you come to me much quicker now.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- I know!- Because this new thing we do with the contestants where...
0:01:33 > 0:01:35- I think by and large it's good.- Do you?- Yes.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- We find out about them during the show, don't we?- Of course we do.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41I always used to say we did and we never really did, to be honest.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42- And now we do?- Yeah, we now do.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Well, we know quite a lot about three pairs already,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46cos we've had the three pairs on already.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49We've only got one new pair and that's Paul and Steven.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52We saw Jacquie and Barry get all the way to the head-to-head last time.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53They were very strong as well,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56but three very good pairs I think we've got on today's show.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Round Two, absolute classic old-school Pointless as well.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- Good, old-school. Like it. - Old-school, yeah.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Thank you very much, Richard.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Now, all our questions have been asked to 100 people before the show.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Our contestants need to find the obscure answers
0:02:10 > 0:02:13those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer
0:02:16 > 0:02:17that none of our 100 people gave,
0:02:17 > 0:02:21and each time that happens we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Nobody won the jackpot last time so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:02:24 > 0:02:27so today's jackpot starts off at £4,000, there it is.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:32 > 0:02:35OK, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43In this round, I will take an answer from each of you
0:02:43 > 0:02:45and there is to be no conferring.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round
0:02:48 > 0:02:50will be eliminated, so try and make sure that is not you.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52OK, our first category today is...
0:02:55 > 0:02:56It's Literature.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09OK, our Round One question concerns...
0:03:12 > 0:03:1419th century novels, Richard.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Look at the whoops for joy from our contestants there.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19We're going to show you on each pass seven characters
0:03:19 > 0:03:21who first appeared in 19th century novels.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Can you tell us the name of the novel these characters first appeared in?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Give us a nice obscure answer, you're going to score fewer points,
0:03:27 > 0:03:30but an incorrect answer as always is going to score you 100 points.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32It's 14 in all to have a go at at home,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35very well done if you get all 14 of these. It's going to be tough.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36I'm quite nervous as well.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Well, you of course have got an English degree.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Exactly, I should know this. When that thing turns round I might go...
0:03:42 > 0:03:43SIGHS
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Well, at the end of each pass I will take you through every single one,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- see how well you do.- Yeah, that's what I'm scared about.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51OK.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53We are looking for the 19th century novels
0:03:53 > 0:03:55in which these characters appeared.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57And here is our first board. We have got...
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Wow!
0:04:00 > 0:04:02LAUGHTER
0:04:09 > 0:04:10We have got...
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I'll read those all one last time.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34There we go, Katie.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Now then, where d'you think you went wrong last time?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39We had to say goodbye to you in the first round.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44- We got sport and we're terrible at sport.- OK. Now, Literature.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- Are you on any safer ground in Literature?- I should be.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53I should know Heathcliff but it's just not coming to me at all,
0:04:53 > 0:04:55so I'm just going to go, stab in the dark,
0:04:55 > 0:04:59and go Captain Ahab, Treasure Island.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- Captain Ahab, Treasure Island?- Yeah.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04OK, let's see if that's right
0:05:04 > 0:05:06and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Captain Ahab, Treasure Island.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Ohh, bad luck. I'm afraid an incorrect answer, Katie.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18That scores you 100 points. I'm sorry.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23Yeah, sorry Katie, not in Treasure Island. It's a good...like a captain.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25- He's a captain.- Could conceivably be in Treasure Island.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Leah. Welcome back. - Thank you.- Leah and Neil.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- It was Round Two for you last time.- Yes, it was.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Leah, what do you like to get up to?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Erm, I like sports so tennis, football,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41big football fan, that kind of thing.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Do you find much time for literature from the 19th century?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46I did English Literature at A level,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48so I'd like to think I'm not too bad at it.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Luckily, I know one of them, I think.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Elizabeth Bennet I believe is Pride and Prejudice.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Elizabeth Bennet, Pride and Prejudice, says Leah.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:05:57 > 0:05:59how many people knew that answer.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Pride and Prejudice for Elizabeth Bennet.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Absolutely right.
0:06:08 > 0:06:0928.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12APPLAUSE
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Very well done, Leah. 28 for Pride and Prejudice.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16Well done, Leah, safe and sound.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet, Mr Darcy, of course.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22One of the most famous novels in the English language, I would say.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27Probably is. Now, Barry, last time. Remind us what happened.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Oh, we got to the head-to-head.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33I'm afraid we lost on the day to the two students who were,
0:06:33 > 0:06:36I have to say, very entertaining in what they did.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Yeah, less entertaining for you.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40They whipped that prize out from under your nose, Barry.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- And you're a tourist guide in South London?- No, all of London.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- All of London?- All of London.- Come on then, Barry, what have you got?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Well, I'm going to also go for Captain Ahab and say Moby Dick.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Moby Dick, says Barry for Captain Ahab.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people knew that answer. Moby Dick.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00Absolutely right.
0:07:04 > 0:07:0529.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07APPLAUSE
0:07:08 > 0:07:1329 for Moby Dick. Interestingly, one point more than Pride and Prejudice.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Maybe Elizabeth Bennet, it's a slightly more prosaic name
0:07:17 > 0:07:20and Captain Ahab, if you've read it you remember the name, don't you?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22And he's such a memorable character,
0:07:22 > 0:07:24loses his leg to Moby Dick and chases him down.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29Herman Melville's Moby Dick, published in 1851.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Now then, Paul. What d'you like to do?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Erm, I like to take time out with my dogs, Forest and Loki.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- I've got two miniature poodles. - Forest and Loki. Why Loki?
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- He's a god of chaos and mischief, which he is.- Excellent.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- A bit like myself.- Are you the god of chaos and mischief?- Wow.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50It's nice to have you on the show. That's a good booking, isn't it?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Very good. Now then, Paul.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54We are looking for the 19th century novels
0:07:54 > 0:07:56in which these characters appeared.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58I'm feeling a lot better than I did five minutes ago
0:07:58 > 0:08:01because at least I know one of them, so I would be guessing
0:08:01 > 0:08:05at the rest, but I'm going to go for Heathcliff, Wuthering Heights.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff, says Paul.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:08:15 > 0:08:1754.
0:08:18 > 0:08:2054, not bad at all, Paul.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Well played, Paul. Emily Bronte's only published novel,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Wuthering Heights. Let's go through the rest of the answers.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31Let's see how well Xander's education was spent. Lady Dedlock?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34I'm actually going to go for the famed Bleak House.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- I think it is Bleak House.- Correct.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Well done, that would have scored you six points. Maggie Tulliver?
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Ah, I don't know.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- The Mill On The Floss. - The Mill On The Floss.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Another good answer, would have scored three points.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Let's go to the bottom, Michael Henchard...?
0:08:53 > 0:08:54..Is Mayor of Casterbridge.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56He is The Mayor of Casterbridge. Five points.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59And Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale is a pointless answer.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01I just don't think I know.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Very well done at home if you said The Scarlet Letter.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06So some very low-scoring ones there,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09so anyone who got all seven's done terrifically well there.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11OK, thanks very much indeed. We're halfway through the round.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Best score of the pass was Leah's,
0:09:15 > 0:09:18very well done. 28, lovely low score.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Up to 29 where we find Barry and Jacquie.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Up a little bit to 54 where Paul and Steven currently reside,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26and then I'm sorry to say up to 100
0:09:26 > 0:09:28where Katie and Jenna are to be found.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Now, Jenna, you know what you have to do in the next pass.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33- Get an amazing answer. - An amazing answer.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35We're going to come back down the line,
0:09:35 > 0:09:37can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43OK, we're going to put seven more characters on the board
0:09:43 > 0:09:46from 19th century literature and here they are, we have got...
0:09:57 > 0:10:00I'll read those all one last time.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10We are looking for the 19th century novels
0:10:10 > 0:10:13in which these characters appeared and you're going to try and find
0:10:13 > 0:10:16the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- Steven, tell me what you do up in Glasgow.- I'm a photographer.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22What kind of photography do you do?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Erm, mostly portraits, a lot of bands, singers,
0:10:25 > 0:10:30- glam stuff. It's good. - Very good indeed, you're on 54.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32The high scorers are Jenna and Katie on 100
0:10:32 > 0:10:35which means 45 or less will see you through.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36What are you going to go for?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I think I'll go with Captain Nemo.
0:10:38 > 0:10:4120,000 Leagues Under The Sea.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Captain Nemo, says Steven. 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48There is your red line. If you get below that red line
0:10:48 > 0:10:50you're through to the next round.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:10:51 > 0:10:53how many people said 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Absolutely right.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01And you're through to the next round, well done.
0:11:01 > 0:11:0317, great score!
0:11:05 > 0:11:08That takes your total up to 71, Steven, very well done.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Well played, Steven. Good teamwork there on the last podium as well.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16Yeah, Jules Verne's novel, published across 1869, 1870.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Jacquie.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Literature for you, is that strong?
0:11:21 > 0:11:28Not strong, but I knew Captain Nemo and I know a couple of others there.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Well you're on 29, Jacquie.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33The high scorers remain Jenna and Katie on 100.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36That means, if you can score 70 or less, you're safely through.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42Okey doke, I'm going to say Becky Sharp is Vanity Fair.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Becky Sharp, Vanity Fair, says Jacquie. Let's see. Is it right?
0:11:46 > 0:11:47How many people said it?
0:11:51 > 0:11:52Very well done.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55Down it goes.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Still going down, eight!
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Best score so far, Jacquie, takes your total up
0:12:01 > 0:12:03to a lovely low 37.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Very well done indeed, Vanity Fair.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Well done, Jacquie, terrific character in a terrific book
0:12:07 > 0:12:09by William Makepeace Thackeray,
0:12:09 > 0:12:12published in book form in 1848.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Very good indeed. Thank you. Now then, Neil.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17I'm hoping I know one or two of them.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19I did study English Literature at A level
0:12:19 > 0:12:22but as Leah would say, that was a long time ago
0:12:22 > 0:12:24and I got an E in that.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25You got an E?
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Don't...! You sound like my mum!
0:12:29 > 0:12:33- What do you excel in these days?- Finance.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34Yeah.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Anything fun?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- Darts.- Really?
0:12:38 > 0:12:39D'you play in a team?
0:12:39 > 0:12:44I play in a league in the city, had a checkout of 157 only last week.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Whoa, very good. You're big on your arrows, aren't you?
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- Yeah, that's a very handy checkout, I don't need to tell you that.- No.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55- Treble 20, treble 19, tops?- Exactly what I did.- Yeah, there you go.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- Well done.- Very good.- Well done.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Can we just keep talking about darts for a bit longer?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Yeah, erm...no.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08Neil, the high scorers are still Jenna and Katie,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11it's all beginning to get a little bit tense at this end of the line.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13You're on 28. If you can score 71
0:13:13 > 0:13:16or less, through you go.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17OK, based on
0:13:17 > 0:13:20my film knowledge, not my novel knowledge,
0:13:20 > 0:13:22I'll go Artful Dodger and Oliver.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Artful Dodger and Oliver.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28OK, there is your red line.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30If you get below that red line
0:13:30 > 0:13:32you are through to the next round.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Let's see if it's right
0:13:33 > 0:13:36and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Oliver.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Bad luck, Neil.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Bad luck, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:13:43 > 0:13:46which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47That takes your total up to 128.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Means we've got a game on, Richard.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Yeah, it's a good darts score, 128.- Thanks.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55We'll give the correct answer at the end of the round.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00- OK, now we come to you, Jenna.- Yes.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- What do you like to get up to, Jenna?- Anything adrenaline-based.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08I like bungee jumping and skydiving. I want to do a wing walk.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10The wing walk, take us through the wing walk.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13You stand on a plane and it flies off.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14Where does the "walk" bit happen?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17You don't really, actually. I don't know where that comes from.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19I'll take it up with them.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21OK, now Jenna, you're the last person to have this board.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Would you like to talk us through it?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Well, the Artful Dodger, I think Oliver Twist,
0:14:26 > 0:14:31is it The Adventures of Oliver Twist, something like that?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34But I think Quasimodo was The Hunchback of Notre Dame
0:14:34 > 0:14:37so I think I'll go for that one. I don't know any of the others.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40I knew Captain Nemo but that one was taken.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41The Hunchback of Notre Dame for Quasimodo.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45OK, here is your red line. It could be higher.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48But let's see. You may get below it, let's see.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49The Hunchback of Notre Dame,
0:14:49 > 0:14:51is that going to get you below that red line?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Is it right, how many people said it?
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Ooh, 53!
0:15:00 > 0:15:0453 I'm afraid takes your total up to 153
0:15:04 > 0:15:05and I'm afraid that means
0:15:05 > 0:15:08you are the high scorers. Richard.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Sorry Jenna, it's a valiant effort but not enough, I'm afraid.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Good news for Neil there, that's a lifeline.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Neil, the problem was, you knew it from the film,
0:15:15 > 0:15:18it's not Oliver, it's Oliver Twist is the name of the actual novel.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Would have scored you 70 points, it's a big scorer
0:15:21 > 0:15:24so wouldn't have actually done you any good, Jenna, if you had said it.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27The other three answers all would have seen you through
0:15:27 > 0:15:30but they're all tough, to be honest. Do you know any of those?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Bathsheba Everdene...- Yeah. - ..is Far From The Madding Crowd.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35It is Far From The Madding Crowd,
0:15:35 > 0:15:37would have scored four points, very good answer.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- How are you pronouncing this one? - Edward Casaubon is Middlemarch.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Absolutely right, would have scored one point as well,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44and Lucy Snowe is a pointless answer.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- I don't know, I don't know. - She's from Villette.- Villette.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50Very well done if you said that.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Some tough answers up there, weren't there?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55There you go. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57What an exciting round that was.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Erm...so at the end of the first round, the pair who'll be leaving us
0:16:00 > 0:16:02with their high score of 153,
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Jenna and Katie, I'm so sorry.- It's been fun.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07It's been lovely but it's been too short.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- BOTH: I know.- It's been lovely
0:16:09 > 0:16:13having you on the show. Thank you so much for playing. Jenna and Katie.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15APPLAUSE
0:16:15 > 0:16:18But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25There's only going to be room for two pairs
0:16:25 > 0:16:27in the head-to-head round, so one of the pairs in front of me
0:16:27 > 0:16:29will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:16:29 > 0:16:34I wonder who it's going to be. Jacquie and Barry, very good.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Consistent. Both of you scoring nice and low. Leah and Neil.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Now, Neil, she is carrying you.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- Seriously.- That is something I've heard before.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Paul and Steven, not bad at all.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Not bad at all, but very, very best of luck to all three pairs.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Anything could happen in this round, our category is...
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10OK, let's find out what the question is, here it comes.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:17:17 > 0:17:19..as they could. Richard.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Pretty hardcore version of Pointless today.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22There's no hiding place here.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Yeah, we're looking for any country on the African mainland that is
0:17:25 > 0:17:28either wholly or partly in the Southern Hemisphere,
0:17:28 > 0:17:30that's south of the equator, obviously.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33As always, by country we mean a sovereign state
0:17:33 > 0:17:37that is a member of the UN in its own right. Very best of luck.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Thank you very much, Richard.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42So here we are, proper old-school Pointless round.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45No boards, no nuttin'!
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Just a bit of geography. Neil.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Now geography, is this a good thing for you?
0:17:51 > 0:17:52I studied that at school as well...
0:17:52 > 0:17:58- Oh, that's good!- To a CSE level, got a C in that.- There we go.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04OK, I'll go Ivory Coast.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Ivory Coast, says Neil. Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10let's see how many of our 100 people said Ivory Coast.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Bad luck, Neil. An incorrect answer, I'm afraid,
0:18:17 > 0:18:19which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21However, I suspect that may not be the last
0:18:21 > 0:18:24100 points in this round. Richard.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Sorry Neil, mainland Africa but north of the equator.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30So then, Jacquie.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33You spent quite a portion of your life in the southern hemisphere.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35I know Australian geography better
0:18:35 > 0:18:38but I think Lesotho is a country
0:18:38 > 0:18:41and I think it's in the southern hemisphere,
0:18:41 > 0:18:43so that's what I'm going to say.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Lesotho says Jacquie. Lesotho. Let's see if it's right,
0:18:45 > 0:18:47let's see how many people said it.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Absolutely right.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Very well done indeed, Jacquie. Ten points.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- Ten points for Lesotho.- Well played, Jacquie, very safe answer.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Very, very deep south, Lesotho. Well played.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Now then, Steven.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- How good is your geography, Steven?- Not that good.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20- I'll go with Ghana. - Ghana, says Steven.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Ghana.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Bad luck. I'm afraid that's another incorrect answer,
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- also scoring 100 points. Richard.- Sorry Steven,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38it's right next door to the Ivory Coast, I'm afraid, Ghana,
0:19:38 > 0:19:40in the northern hemisphere.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41We're halfway through the round.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Jacquie and Barry, you are on
0:19:45 > 0:19:46ten points, very well done.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49You're looking very, very strong at this stage, I'd have to say,
0:19:49 > 0:19:52because then we travel all the way up to 100 points
0:19:52 > 0:19:55where we find Steven and Paul and Neil and Leah. So essentially
0:19:55 > 0:20:00it is a southern-hemisphere mainland-country-of-Africa-off
0:20:00 > 0:20:02between Paul and Leah.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Very best of luck to both of you. Let's see what's going to happen.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:20:12 > 0:20:17OK, now Paul, you are jointly on 100 with Leah and Neil.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Barry and Jacquie are quite a long way behind.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Have you been to the continent of Africa at all?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24I have, but only as far as Morocco.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Right, OK.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29I have looked at a map or two.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32So I'm tempted to go for one.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35You are going to have to go for one.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Temptation or not.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40I think this one's right on the cusp, but I think I'll play it safe,
0:20:40 > 0:20:41I'm going to go for Zambia.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Zambia says Paul, Zambia.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46There's no red line for you as you are joint high-scorers.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48You just have to hope it's correct
0:20:48 > 0:20:51and that it goes down a nice long way on that column. OK, Zambia.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Is that right and if it is, how many people said it?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57It is right.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03It's a great answer, look at that, 15.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Very well done.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Very well done, 115 your total.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Well played, Paul, really laid down the gauntlet to Leah there.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Zambia, it's way south as well.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Now then, Barry.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Once again you are through to the head-to-head.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20A little bit of pressure off.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23But I have a feeling your geography might be good, am I right?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Fairly good, yeah, fairly good.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27OK, let's have...maybe there's a pointless answer?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Maybe, but anyway, let's see. Let's see how low you can go.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33How low I can go,
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- Botswana.- Botswana says Barry.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38Botswana. Is it right?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40How many people said it?
0:21:42 > 0:21:43Absolutely right.
0:21:47 > 0:21:4920.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Very well done, taking your total up to 30.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Barry's pretty good at every subject, isn't he,
0:21:57 > 0:21:58thus far in his Pointless career.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Yeah, Botswana, almost entirely dominated by the Kalahari Desert.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07OK, now Leah. OK.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Well, he stole my answer but we would have gone out on that,
0:22:11 > 0:22:13so I'm quite glad he said Botswana
0:22:13 > 0:22:15cos that may have been what I was going to go for.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17So, it gives us a fighting chance now.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19It does, gives you a fighting chance.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Now then, Leah, you have made a career of digging Neil
0:22:22 > 0:22:25out of a hole in terms of Pointless.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29I'm going to say Zare, or Zaire, however you pronounce it.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- You're going to say Zaire. - Yeah.- OK, Zaire says Leah.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Let's see if it's right
0:22:34 > 0:22:36and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Bad luck, Leah, I'm so sorry.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer
0:22:43 > 0:22:46and that scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Takes your total up to 200. Richard.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Yeah, sorry Leah, hasn't been called Zaire since 1997.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54It's the Democratic Republic of Congo now.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Would have scored you two points, would have seen you safely through.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01I'll give you the rest of the answers that would have seen you through.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03All of these would have scored you less than 15.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Tanzania and Angola both would have scored you 13.
0:23:06 > 0:23:0911 points for Somalia and Congo.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Lesotho we've already seen with 10.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Swaziland with seven, Rwanda seven,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Malawi was four.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18The best three answers, though, let's take a look,
0:23:18 > 0:23:20would have been Burundi, the best answer.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22One point. Well done if you said that.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Gabon with two and there's the Democratic Republic of the Congo,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27which used to be Zaire. Let's take a look at the biggest answers,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Zimbabwe, 32 points.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Kenya, also 32 points, and unsurprisingly at the top,
0:23:38 > 0:23:40South Africa, the clue's in the name, absolutely.
0:23:40 > 0:23:4258 points.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Thank you very much, Richard.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47So at the end of Round Two, the pair with their highest score
0:23:47 > 0:23:52of 200 who'll be leaving us, I'm afraid it's Leah and Neil.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Now how about some of those other ones that would have saved you?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- Rwanda...- I know most of those.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01I just, I genuinely didn't realise or didn't clock that Zaire
0:24:01 > 0:24:05- had changed its name to Democratic Republic of Congo!- It's galling
0:24:05 > 0:24:06cos you were right.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Botswana was the other one I had in my mind. Kenya I knew, but...
0:24:09 > 0:24:10And I knew South Africa.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Ah, well.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14Very good of you, Leah,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17you have done that to make Neil feel a little bit better.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21I think that is a very noble thing to have done. I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25- It has been lovely having you on both shows.- It has been great fun. - Leah and Neil, great contestants.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28APPLAUSE
0:24:28 > 0:24:31But for the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even more
0:24:31 > 0:24:34exciting now as we enter the head-to-head.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Well, congratulations, Jacquie and Barry, Paul and Steven,
0:24:40 > 0:24:42you are now only one round away from the final
0:24:42 > 0:24:46and a chance to play for the jackpot which currently stands at £4,000.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Now, obviously only one pair can play for that money and to decide
0:24:53 > 0:24:56which pair it is going to be, you are now going to go head-to-head.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58This time, you are allowed to confer.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Now then, Jacquie and Barry, you have been here before.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07How do you rate your chances this time?
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Well, thought it was pretty good last time,
0:25:11 > 0:25:13but you know, pipped at the post.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15And Paul and Steven, well done, you.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Did you think you were going to make it this far in your first appearance?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Not when the literature question came up.- No?- No.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Well, Paul and Steven, very, very best of luck to you
0:25:25 > 0:25:27and indeed to you, Jacquie and Barry.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29- Let's play the head-to-head. - APPLAUSE
0:25:34 > 0:25:37OK, here comes your first question. And it concerns...
0:25:38 > 0:25:40People doing the Mobot.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47This is to make up for 19th-century literature.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50We are going to show you five pictures of people doing the Mobot,
0:25:50 > 0:25:55the celebration made famous by Mo Farah in the 2012 Olympic Games.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- Oh, the Mobot!- Oh, the Mobot, yes. Absolutely right.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Can you identify the most obscure of these people, please?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Thanks very much, Richard. Let's reveal our five Mobots.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05And here they are, we have got...
0:26:20 > 0:26:22There we are. Five Mobots.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Jacquie and Barry, you played best throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Well, we think C is Jon Snow.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34C, Jon Snow, say Jacquie and Barry.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Paul and Steven, talk us through the Mobots.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Usain Bolt, Robbie Williams, Russell Brand.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45He is from the Rizzle Kicks, but I can't remember his name.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- Rizzle Kicks?- Yes. I think so.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Usain Bolt?- Usain Bolt. Which one is...
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- B.- B, Usain Bolt. Thank you very much.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59So, we have Jacquie and Barry saying C, Jon Snow.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Let's see if that's right
0:27:01 > 0:27:04and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Jon Snow for C.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07It is absolutely right.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12- 22. - APPLAUSE
0:27:16 > 0:27:2022, Paul and Steven. You are saying Usain Bolt for B.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Let's see if that's right
0:27:22 > 0:27:24and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27Absolutely right.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Big score there, for the Jamaican.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Which means, Jacquie and Barry, after one question, you are up one-nil.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- Very well done. Richard? - Yes, a big score there, quite right.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44A, you knew he was from Rizzle Kicks, his name is Jordan Stephens.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Well done if you said that at home, it would have scored one point.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51A terrific answer. From Rizzle Kicks. There is Usain Bolt, Jon Snow.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55D is Robbie Williams. He would have scored you a fairly mighty 55.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57And Russell Brand at the closing ceremony there,
0:27:57 > 0:28:01would have scored you 57.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05Just as a control, we also showed the famous picture of Mo Farah himself, doing the Mobot.
0:28:06 > 0:28:13- What do you think our national hero scored?- I would hope in the high 90s.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Maybe 96?
0:28:15 > 0:28:18You are going to have to go in the lower 90s.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20By which I mean, 56.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22GASPS
0:28:22 > 0:28:25There he is. That is the picture we showed them.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26LAUGHTER.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Has he lost weight? He is looking good.
0:28:28 > 0:28:33He is looking very good. Not so much Mo, less Farah, I would say.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So, here comes your second question.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Now then, Paul and Steven,
0:28:39 > 0:28:41you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Very, very best of luck. Our second question today concerns...
0:28:45 > 0:28:46Tom Hanks.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Tom Hanks, Richard.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Quite simply, we are going to give you five clues to facts about Tom Hanks.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Can you give us the answer to the most obscure of these.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58Thanks, Richard, let's reveal our five clues to facts about Tom Hanks and here they come.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59We have got:
0:29:13 > 0:29:15I will read those all one last time.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29There we are, five clues to facts about Tom Hanks.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Paul and Steven, you go first this time.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38I think we are going to go for the film in which he meets the mermaid.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41- Splash.- Splash, say Paul and Steven.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45Splash, the film in which he makes a mermaid called Madison.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Now then, Jacquie and Barry.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Well, I think the things we know, everybody knows.
0:29:51 > 0:29:52Talk us through the board.
0:29:52 > 0:29:57Well, I think his leading lady in Sleepless In Seattle was Meg Ryan.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00I think the character he voiced in Toy Story was Woody
0:30:00 > 0:30:03and we don't know where he was born. So...
0:30:05 > 0:30:08- Eeny, meeny, miney, mo, shall we say Sleepless In Seattle?- Yes.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12We will say Meg Ryan for his leading lady in Sleepless In Seattle.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14You are going to say Meg Ryan for his leading lady
0:30:14 > 0:30:15in Sleepless In Seattle.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19So, Paul and Steven went with Splash for the mermaid film.
0:30:19 > 0:30:24Let's see if that is right and if it is, how many people said Splash.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25Absolutely right.
0:30:29 > 0:30:3027.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32APPLAUSE
0:30:32 > 0:30:3427.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Jacquie and Barry have said Meg Ryan was his leading lady
0:30:37 > 0:30:39in Sleepless In Seattle.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:30:43 > 0:30:44It is right.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Will it beat 27?
0:30:47 > 0:30:49No! 39.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51APPLAUSE
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Very well done, Paul and Steven.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55You did what you needed to do to do there.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57After two questions, you are one all. Richard.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59It is game on now, certainly.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01The character he voices in Toy Story, you're right, Woody.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03It would not have won you the point.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07It would have scored you 40. A bigger score. He was born in California.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10That would have won you the point. Six points.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13And his son, who is an actor in all sorts of things,
0:31:13 > 0:31:15King Kong as well, is Colin Hanks.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Colin Hanks would have scored you five points.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22- That is the best answer there. - Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24OK, here comes the decider. Your third question.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:31:26 > 0:31:28and plays for that jackpot of £4,000.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30It concerns...
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Champions League finals.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Champions League finals, Richard.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Yes, we are going to show you five pairs of teams who have
0:31:39 > 0:31:41competed in a European Cup or Champions League final.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45We're just going to give you their initials and the year in which they competed.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Can you give us the pairs of teams, please? Very best of luck.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49OK, thanks very much.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Let's reveal our five pairs of teams and here they come. We have got...
0:32:09 > 0:32:13I will read those all one last time without the dates.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20So there we are.
0:32:20 > 0:32:26- Jacquie. You and Barry are to answer first.- I don't know any of them.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30- I haven't got a clue. Have you got any clues?- Or me.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34I am just going to guest at the top one
0:32:34 > 0:32:38and go Aston Villa versus Bayern Munich.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Aston Villa versus Bayern Munich in 1982.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46OK, Paul and Steven, the board is yours. Talk us through it.
0:32:46 > 0:32:51I think 2006 is Barcelona V somebody.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55The bottom one is Borussia Dortmund versus Juventus.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01I am going to go for NF versus H, 1980.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04That is Nottingham Forest versus Hamburg.
0:33:04 > 0:33:09You are going to go Nottingham Forest versus Hamburg in 1980.
0:33:09 > 0:33:14OK. So, we have Aston Villa versus Bayern Munich for Jacquie and Barry.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:33:20 > 0:33:21Absolutely right.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27- 14. - APPLAUSE.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28Well done, Barry.
0:33:29 > 0:33:3214, Barry, very, very well guessed.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36Paul and Steven, you have gone for Nottingham Forest versus Hamburg.
0:33:36 > 0:33:41Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:33:41 > 0:33:42It is right.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44This is the decider.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46This is going to see who goes through to the final
0:33:46 > 0:33:48and plays for that jackpot
0:33:48 > 0:33:50and it is Paul and Steven!
0:33:50 > 0:33:54Very well done, 8, for Nottingham Forest versus Hamburg.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58Very, very tight match there. Fantastic.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01After three questions, Paul and Steven, you are through to the final 2-1. Brilliant.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Yeah, the, that is terrific, Paul, as well, especially well done,
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Barry, for pulling that one out of the bag, a very good answer.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09All sorts of traps up there.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12You are right about Borussia Dortmund versus Juventus but that
0:34:12 > 0:34:15would have knocked you out because that would have scored 17 points.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18B, absolutely is Barcelona and A is Arsenal.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22I'm sure lots of people got it and lots of our 100 people did as well
0:34:22 > 0:34:23because it scored 24.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25And the best answer on the board...
0:34:25 > 0:34:29Is A versus P in 1971. It would have scored you one point.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33Well done everyone at home who said Ajax versus Panathinaikos.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36- There you are.- Yeah?- Well, thank you very much indeed, Richard,
0:34:36 > 0:34:42so our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, Jacquie and Barry.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46Once again, you come right up to the points and then we send you home.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48- I am sorry. - And then you gave us sport.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50- How well did Barry handle that?- He did, he was brilliant.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52- Absolutely brilliant.- There we are.
0:34:52 > 0:34:58Barry chested it down and almost, almost knocked it in. I am so sorry.
0:34:58 > 0:34:59You played so well.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03I am very sorry to say goodbye to you without you taking a trophy home to show for your troubles.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05It has been great having you on the show.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09- Thank you very much for playing, Jacquie and Barry. - APPLAUSE
0:35:09 > 0:35:13But for Paul and Steven, it is now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19Congratulations, Paul and Steven, you fought of all the competition
0:35:19 > 0:35:21and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:29 > 0:35:33and that the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £4,000.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35- There it is. - APPLAUSE
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Well, we have really tested you.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44You have had football, you have had Tom Hanks, you have had Mobots,
0:35:44 > 0:35:47you have had geography and you have had literature.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Did you ever think you were going to end up here?
0:35:49 > 0:35:52- Not after that first round, definitely.- That was tough.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55What would you like to see come up in this round?
0:35:55 > 0:35:57- What would be the perfect... - Eurovision Song contest.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59LAUGHTER
0:35:59 > 0:36:02- Really?- He would like that. - Conductors? Eurovision Song contest conductors.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- Sorry, seriously?- Seriously.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07The different people who have conducted it.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09- Is it one conductor every year? - No, anyone.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13- It is all separate conductors. - And you know all of them?!
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- He knows most of them. - I can give you a pointless one.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19If you could give us one that ISN'T pointless, I would be very surprised.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21LAUGHTER
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Anyway, now listen, the rules are very simple.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Do that and you will go home with that £4,000 in your back pockets.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31First, you have to choose a category.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34And here are the choices you can choose from. They are...
0:36:36 > 0:36:43Film actors, music awards, boxing, MPs and Eurovision conductors.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45LAUGHTER
0:36:45 > 0:36:50British authors, British authors. OK, which one do you want?
0:36:50 > 0:36:53- Film actors. - Film actors.- Film actors, it is.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:36:59 > 0:37:03Kenneth Branagh films as they could. Richard.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Yes, we are looking for any feature film made for cinema release
0:37:05 > 0:37:10up to October 2012 for which Kenneth Branagh has received an acting credit, please.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12No TV films, short films, documentaries,
0:37:12 > 0:37:15films where he has played himself but voice performances do count.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Very best of luck, guys.
0:37:17 > 0:37:18OK, thanks, Richard.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:21 > 0:37:24and all you need to win that £4,000 is for just one of those
0:37:24 > 0:37:25answers to be pointless.
0:37:25 > 0:37:26Are you ready?
0:37:26 > 0:37:29OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Your time starts now.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36- Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. - The Tempest, Twelfth Night.- Henry V?
0:37:36 > 0:37:39- You've got Harry Potter, he was in one of those.- Which one?
0:37:39 > 0:37:47- Goblet Of Fire?- Goblet Of Fire, I think. I think.- Any other ones?
0:37:47 > 0:37:49What about Shakespearian ones?
0:37:51 > 0:37:54I'm trying to think of something, I can't think of any.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58What about any ones with Emma Thompson in.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Sense And Sensibility, these costume dramas?
0:38:01 > 0:38:03He was in Much Ado About Nothing, I don't think she was in that.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07- The Taming Of The Shrew? - No, he wasn't in that.
0:38:07 > 0:38:12- What are we going to go for? - Twelfth Night?- Twelfth Night.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16- Henry V?- Don't know.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20- Twelfth Night, Henry V. - Can't think of any others.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24- 10 seconds left.- We have got some obscure ones anyway.- The Tempest?
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Don't think he's in The Tempest.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28THEY CONFER
0:38:31 > 0:38:35That's time. OK, we were looking for Kenneth Branagh films.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37I now need your three answers.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44- Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets.- Twelfth Night.- Twelfth Night.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49- Henry V.- And Henry V.
0:38:49 > 0:38:54OK, of those three, which do think is your most likely to be pointless?
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- Twelfth Night.- Twelfth Night, we will put that last.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00- Which is your least likely, do you think?- Harry Potter.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05OK, let's put them up on the board in that order and here they are. We have got:
0:39:11 > 0:39:15If one of these answers is right, and you win £4,000,
0:39:15 > 0:39:17what would you do with it, Steven?
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Probably go up north for a couple of days,
0:39:19 > 0:39:23to start off with with the dogs, have a couple of wee breaks.
0:39:23 > 0:39:28- Anything else, Paul?- Steven's business is two years going now,
0:39:28 > 0:39:32so he's still building that so I think we will invest some money into that, give him some breathing space.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Very good. Well, very, very best of luck.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Your first answer was Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39This was your least confident answer.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42You only have two find one pointless answer to win that
0:39:42 > 0:39:43jackpot of £4,000.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45So let's see how many people said Harry Potter
0:39:45 > 0:39:49And The Chamber Of Secrets. Is it right?
0:39:51 > 0:39:54It's right. But it's silent, shh!
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Down it goes.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01OK, down it goes, Chamber Of Secrets, into the teens,
0:40:01 > 0:40:03into single figures,
0:40:03 > 0:40:05- oh, six! - APPLAUSE
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Oh, my God, did not expect that.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Very, very well done. Unfortunately, not a pointless answer.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16You only have two chances to win today's jackpot.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Henry V.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Now, again, this has to be right, and it has to be pointless to win
0:40:22 > 0:40:27that jackpot, so for £4,000, let's see how many people said Henry V.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31It's right.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Now then, Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets took us
0:40:34 > 0:40:36all the way down to 6.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Where is Henry V going to take us down to?
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Into its 20s. Oh! 20.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44APPLAUSE
0:40:47 > 0:40:51I guess that is probably one of his best-known films, isn't it, Henry V.
0:40:51 > 0:40:5320, not bad though.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58We were looking for Kenneth Branagh films,
0:40:58 > 0:41:00your third and final answer was Twelfth Night.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02You said this was your most confident answer.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05So, to win that jackpot of £4,000, it has to be right
0:41:05 > 0:41:06and it has to be pointless.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09This is your last crack at that jackpot. Very best of luck.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13Twelfth Night, is it right? How many people said it, if it is?
0:41:18 > 0:41:20- Bad luck. - APPLAUSE
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Bad luck. Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important
0:41:27 > 0:41:30pointless answer, which I'm afraid means you don't leave with
0:41:30 > 0:41:32today's jackpot of £4,000 which will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35You have been brilliant contestants and you do of course get to
0:41:35 > 0:41:38take home our Pointless trophy, so very, very well done.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40APPLAUSE
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Yes, sorry gents,
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Twelfth Night was Richard E Grant alongside Helena Bonham Carter.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50Let's look at the pointless answers. I know some people at home will have got some.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52There is one of his Shakespearean adaptations here.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54First up, Celebrity, the Woody Allen film. He is in.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Five Children And It, he plays Uncle Albert in that, it would have been a pointless answer.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01High Season, also would have won you the money.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04How To Kill Your Neighbour's Dog,
