0:00:18 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless -
0:00:27 > 0:00:30the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33APPLAUSE
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Couple number one.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Hi, I'm James. This is my brother-in-law, Hugh,
0:00:39 > 0:00:41and we are from Glasgow.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44- Couple number two.- Hello, my name is Jonny. This Charlie.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46We are housemates and friends from Leicester.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48- Couple number three.- Hello, my name is Luke. This is Kate.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50We're friends and we're from Bristol.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52- And couple number four.- Hi, I'm Emma. This is Simon.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55We are friends and work colleagues and we're from Leicester.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58And these, ladies and gentlemen, are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59APPLAUSE
0:01:01 > 0:01:02Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09He is a man who can walk into any boozer in the country
0:01:09 > 0:01:12and strike fear into their pub quiz teams.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13Because he always cheats.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15It's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18APPLAUSE
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Not true.- Of course it's not true. Good afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- We have gone double Leicester. - Yeah.- Can you believe it?
0:01:27 > 0:01:31We are 50% Leicester. Fully 50%. How about that?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Statistically, that is significant.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36The odds on a Leicester victory now...
0:01:36 > 0:01:37I'm going to say evens.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40We found out last time, didn't we, that...
0:01:40 > 0:01:44We had Hugh and James on last time, we also had Simon and Emma,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46but Hugh and James got all the way to the head-to-head.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Terrific head-to-head as well, wasn't it? It was an absolute belter.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Those guys will be very difficult to beat.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53But we found it James is a professional gambler.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Yeah.- That's a job, isn't it? - Isn't it?- That is a job.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59He's got the greyhound that he races as well. He's got his own greyhound.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01You're going to lose, surely.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02Greyhounds are fast.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03LAUGHTER
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Now, all our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before
0:02:08 > 0:02:11the show. Our contestants here need to find the obscure answers
0:02:11 > 0:02:13those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16What everyone is 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 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Now, Nicky and Paul didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28So, today's jackpot starts off at a very respectable...
0:02:28 > 0:02:30APPLAUSE
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37APPLAUSE
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Now, in this round, I'll take an answer from each of you,
0:02:43 > 0:02:44but there is no conferring.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Whichever player has the highest score at the end
0:02:46 > 0:02:49will be eliminated, so try and make sure, obviously, that's not you.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Our first category today is...
0:02:54 > 0:02:56It's the '80s. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:02:56 > 0:02:58who is going first and who's going second?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01And whoever is going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:09 > 0:03:11'80s Films, Richard.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14On each pass, we are going to give you the names of seven actors
0:03:14 > 0:03:16and a character they played in a 1980s film.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19We need you to tell us the first time that character appeared in
0:03:19 > 0:03:20any film in the 1980s, please.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23So, which film did these actors play these characters in, please?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at at home.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27OK, thanks very much.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30So, we're looking for the films in which these actors played
0:03:30 > 0:03:31these characters for the first time.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34And we have got, on our first board...
0:03:48 > 0:03:50I'll read those all one last time.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03There we are. Seven actors and their characters in brackets.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06All you need to do is supply the name of the film in which
0:04:06 > 0:04:09they first played those characters. James, great to have you back
0:04:09 > 0:04:12on the show. You did very well last time, as Richard said.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Through to the head-to-head. Very tough head-to-head. Very tight.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Tight contest, that one.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19OK, how are you feeling about these films from the '80s.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Yeah, some more obvious than others.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25I'm just trying to go for what's not the most completely obvious one,
0:04:25 > 0:04:27so I'm going to take a guess at one.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I'm going to guess Glenn Close, Teddy Barnes
0:04:30 > 0:04:32and Fatal Attraction.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Fatal Attraction, says James for Glenn Close.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Let's see if he's right. How many people said it, if it is?
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Fatal Attraction.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I wasn't sure. I took a chance.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44- Fatal decision.- Yeah.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48I'm afraid that scores the maximum of 100 points. An incorrect answer.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- I'm sorry, James. Richard. - Sorry, James.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52It might not be the only 100 in this round.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55She plays Alex Forrest in Fatal Attraction.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- Now, then, Jonny.- Hello.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Hello to you. Welcome to the show. Great to have you here.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- What you do, Jonny? - I work for the police.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04I'm a senior analyst in Leicestershire Police.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06What does that mean? What do you do as a senior analyst?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Basically, I analyse crime trends, where crimes are occurring
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- and help to deploy our officers. - You put the pins in the map?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14- Basically, yes.- Brilliant. Good stuff.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17What do you do when you're not doing that?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20I do a lot of running. I have run half marathons and marathons
0:05:20 > 0:05:21and I also play rugby.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23OK, Jonny, how do you feel about this?
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Were you pleased with this as a subject when it came up?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Not great, not great.
0:05:27 > 0:05:33I'm torn between one answer on the board and two films, really,
0:05:33 > 0:05:34and it could be one of either.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36I'm going to say
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Eddie Murphy, Lethal Weapon.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Eddie Murphy, Lethal Weapon.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Lethal Weapon, says Jonny. Let's see if that's right and, if it is,
0:05:45 > 0:05:48let's see how many people said, Lethal Weapon, for Eddie Murphy.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55This is turning into quite a high-scoring round,
0:05:55 > 0:05:56this one, isn't it?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59OK, an incorrect answer. Another one.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00That scores you 100 points.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04James has company. No longer lonely at the top. Richard.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Jonny, of course, one of many contestants today
0:06:06 > 0:06:07who was born in the '80s.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09So... Actually, it's not an excuse.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- We've all seen lots of these films. It's sort of an excuse.- Kind of.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15He's not in Lethal Weapon at all, Eddie Murphy.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Thanks very much, Richard.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- Kate.- Hello.- Hello and welcome to Pointless. Lovely to have you here.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- What do you do, Kate? - I'm a veterinary nurse.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Are animals a passion of yours?- Yes. - Do you have animals of your own?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30I do, I have quite a few. I've got a little menagerie.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I got two dogs, two cats, two rabbits and two chickens.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- It's a bit of a sort of Noah thing going on.- I like two of each.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- Two of each.- Yeah, the household ticks along better
0:06:39 > 0:06:44- if there's only two of each. - Right. So, Kate, '80s Films.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47I was quite pleased when this came up, because I love the '80s.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50So did I and then I saw that board.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Some of them, I don't know.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I'm going to go for Eddie Murphy,
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Beverly Hills Cop.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Beverly Hills Cop. Let's see if that's right and,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Actually, I love the way that James and Jonny,
0:07:04 > 0:07:07both with their 100s right in front of them,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10nodded vigorously at Beverly Hills Cop there.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Let's see if it's right, shall we?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14And if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Absolutely right.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23APPLAUSE
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Nothing wrong with 36, Kate.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Beverly Hills Cop. Absolutely right.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32That's what a correct answer looks like. There were two sequels as well,
0:07:32 > 0:07:33both starring Eddie Murphy.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36And the theme tune, which was brilliant, was a number two hit.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Harold Faltermeyer.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41And then it went to number one with Crazy Frog.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- Crazy Frog's version was a much bigger hit.- Yeah.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46Yeah.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Simon.- Hello. - Simon, hello and welcome back.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Welcome back to the show. You were on last time.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53Everyone gets two chances, of course,
0:07:53 > 0:07:57to reach the Pointless final. This is Simon and Emma's second chance.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58What happened last time?
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Well, last time we had a terrible, terrible first round. We scored 200.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Do you know, we had Words Ending In EAR?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07And we made some up.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Quite often, what happens is people score quite high,
0:08:10 > 0:08:13they land on words that are quite popular and score quite high.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16People they seldom go out with 100 points each
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- in those Words Ending In rounds. But never mind.- Never mind.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Remember, we are looking for the films in which these actors
0:08:22 > 0:08:24played these characters for the first time.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Do you want to take us through the board?- Well, I can go through some.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Harrison Ford, Rick Deckard is Blade Runner.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Linda Hamilton, Sarah Connor is The Terminator.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33I don't know Glenn Close.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Whoopi Goldberg, I'd guess, is Sister Act.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Matthew Broderick, I presume, is in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40I don't know Tom Hanks,
0:08:40 > 0:08:44so I will say Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard in Blade Runner.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Harrison Ford, Blade Runner, says Simon.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Absolutely right. 36 is our best score so far.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Are you going to go through that?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Yes, you are.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Wow, 9.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02APPLAUSE
0:09:03 > 0:09:08Very, very well done indeed, Simon. 9 for Blade Runner.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Well done, Simon. That's more like it.- That is a bit more like it.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Yeah, last year, SFX Magazine voted Blade Runner the best
0:09:15 > 0:09:18sci-fi, horror or fantasy movie of all time. Harrison Ford was also
0:09:18 > 0:09:20in the number two film, which was Empire Strikes Back.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Let's go through the rest of this board. Simon was right about
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Linda Hamilton. She played Sarah Connor. The first film
0:09:26 > 0:09:28she was in is The Terminator.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30It would have scored 49 points, so it's a big score.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Whoopi Goldberg - it's not Sister Act, actually.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35I imagine many people would say that. It was The Color Purple.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38It would have scored 3 points, so very good answer.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Matthew Broderick is Ferris Bueller, the clue is there,
0:09:40 > 0:09:44in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. 37 points.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Tom Hanks. Do you know this one? Tom Hanks as Josh Baskin.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50One of his first films when he was... I was going to say when he was
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- big over here. But that's too much of a clue.- Oh, there we are. Big.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Big. Absolutely. It would have scored 11.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58And Glenn Close as Teddy Barnes is a pointless answer.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01It wasn't Fatal Attraction. It was Jagged Edge.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Very well done if you said that.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Very good. We're halfway through
0:10:04 > 0:10:07the round. Let's take a look at the scores as they stand. 9, Simon.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Best score of the pass. Simon and Emma looking very strong there.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Then up to 36 where we find Kate and Luke.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Then up to 100. Yes,
0:10:14 > 0:10:17this is where Jonny and Charlie and James and Hugh are.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19We'll come back down the line.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Can the second players, please, take their places at the podium?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27OK, we are going to put seven more actors on the board
0:10:27 > 0:10:29with their characters. And here they are. We have got...
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I'll read those all one last time.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00There we are. Remember, we are looking for the films in which
0:11:00 > 0:11:03these actors first played these characters.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06And, Emma, we come to you.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Well, I know some of them.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13I think I have learned the hard way to maybe play it a bit safe as well.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Yeah, well,
0:11:15 > 0:11:17the high-scorers are on 100. You're on 9. So a long way ahead.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- If you can score 90 or less, you are in the next round.- OK.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24I'm going to go with Marty McFly from Back To The Future.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Back To The Future, says Emma for Marty McFly. Here is your red line.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Lovely and high. If you can get below that,
0:11:30 > 0:11:32you are through to the next round. Marty McFly,
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Back To The Future. Is it right?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Of course it's right. And you're through. Well done.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42APPLAUSE
0:11:42 > 0:11:4371, your total.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Well done, Emma. From 1985, the first Back To The Future.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51There were two sequels to that.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53That character, the Michael J Fox character,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- is named after the English boy band McFly.- That's right.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Due to a time-travelling incident.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Luke.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- Hello.- Hello to you. Welcome to the show. What do you do?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10I'm a warehouseman in a large retail chain.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Very good. What you get up to when you're not doing that?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16I enjoy sports. I play football - goalkeeper.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21- And I too read, watch movies, go out for walks.- Very good.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23OK, you're on 36. The high-scorers
0:12:23 > 0:12:25on 100 are Hugh and James and Charlie and Jonny.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30If you can score yourself 63 or less, you are in Round Two.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Rightio.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34I think I knew a few of them.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36I'm going to play it relatively straight
0:12:36 > 0:12:38and go for Arnold Schwarzenegger,
0:12:38 > 0:12:40John Matrix,
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Commando.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Arnold Schwarzenegger, Commando, says Luke.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Here is your red line.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Below that, Round Two. Let's see if Commando is right
0:12:48 > 0:12:51and, if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Absolutely right.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Through you go. Very well done.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Oh, 6.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02APPLAUSE
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Great answer. 42, your total.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10- Well played, Luke. That's a very good answer, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12He was in a lot of films in the '80s.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14It's not even one you can just pluck out of the air.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16OK, now then, Charlie,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18we have a bit of a tussle on our hands.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- We do.- Yes.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25It's you v Hugh. The you-Hugh tussle.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Charlie, great shirt, by the way. - It's fantastic,
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- thank you very much. - No, it's brilliant. Thank you.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- It is its first airing for 10 years. - Wow.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37I dug it out especially for yourselves and the audience at home.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Was it between that and what?
0:13:39 > 0:13:40This and possibly nudity,
0:13:40 > 0:13:42which would be the only less embarrassing thing,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44- I would think.- I'll tell you what,
0:13:44 > 0:13:47it has kept its colour beautifully.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49I'm going to say that. Now, Charlie,
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- what do you do?- I am a PhD student.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- What are you studying?- I am a historian.- Are you? Very good.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- What particular era? - I am looking at
0:13:58 > 0:14:00modern British history.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Oh, particularly seen through cinema in the 1980s.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Sadly not. Although I know a few of those.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- It is a toss-up between, I think, two or three.- OK.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14So,
0:14:14 > 0:14:16I'm going to say
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Sigourney Weaver was Dana Barrett in Ghostbusters.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Ghostbusters.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Ghostbusters for Sigourney Weaver.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25Let's see if that's right and,
0:14:25 > 0:14:29if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Ghostbusters.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32There is no red line for you, your joint high-scorers.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35It's right.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Eight. Very well done indeed.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Eight. Taking your total up to 108.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52- Making Hugh a little bit scared, I think, there. Richard.- Very good.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55She was in a number of iconic films in the '80s, so, again,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57had to know the right one there. 8 points.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59It's going to be interesting now,
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- isn't it?- Oh, it's going to be very interesting now, for sure.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Hugh, can I also commend you on your...
0:15:05 > 0:15:08well, your waistcoat.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12But better still, you have got a chain there.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- It's actually with fob watch as well.- With a watch.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- My grandfather's.- Lovely.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Now, Hugh, Charlie has thrown down
0:15:19 > 0:15:22a considerable gauntlet there.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26If anyone is equal to the task though, it is you, Hugh.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Right, well, there are three I know.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Talk us through the board.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Kevin Kline is Otto in A Fish Called Wanda.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Drew Barrymore is Gertie in ET.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40Tom Cruise is Maverick in the fabulous '80s film Top Gun.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Bette Midler as Barbara Stone,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I would be taking a punt.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49So, the question is whether I take a punt on that or Kevin Kline.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52I'll go for Bette Midler.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55OK. you're going to go for Bette Midler.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56Beaches.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59You have said Beaches, for Bette Midler.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Let's see if that's right. Here is your red line.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04It is very low. Let's see if that's right though
0:16:04 > 0:16:08for Bette Midler and, if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11Oh, no.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Bad luck, Hugh. I'm sorry to say that's an incorrect answer.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18It scores you the maximum of 100 points and takes
0:16:18 > 0:16:21your total up to 200 points. Richard.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Yeah, she plays CC in Beaches, I'm afraid. It's a pointless answer.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26I think you have to go for it.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30It's a pointless answer and it's a wonderful film - Ruthless People.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34If you had said Kevin Kline, you're right, it is A Fish Called Wanda.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38It would have scored you 11 points. So you were left with no other option
0:16:38 > 0:16:40after the score in the first round there.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Drew Barrymore, you're right, was ET.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Would have scored 29. Tom Cruise, you got right as well. Top Gun.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49And that would have scored 37 points.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of our first round,
0:16:52 > 0:16:54the losing pair with a high score of 200 -
0:16:54 > 0:16:57it's Hugh and James. Now, that score doesn't really
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- tell the full story. - It was my fault.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02I went to say Big and changed my mind.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05And instead of 11, I scored 100 and put Hugh under pressure.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06I'm so sorry,
0:17:06 > 0:17:07we have to say goodbye to you.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10It's far too soon to be saying goodbye to you, Hugh and James.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Brilliant contestants, as you were last time. I'm sorry,
0:17:13 > 0:17:15this is it. This is your second appearance.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Thank you so much for playing.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- It's been fun.- Thank you very much. - Hugh and James.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21APPLAUSE
0:17:21 > 0:17:24But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25APPLAUSE
0:17:30 > 0:17:34So, sadly, at the end of this round, another pair will be leaving us.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Our PhD students did so well there. So well, all of them.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Simon and Emma, are you sure you're not doing film studies?
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- Maybe I should be switching, I don't know.- It was pretty good.
0:17:45 > 0:17:50- And Charlie. Oh, you pulled it out of the bag with Dana.- Yeah.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Very well done indeed. OK, well, best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Our category for Round Two is...
0:17:58 > 0:18:00..Theatre. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:18:00 > 0:18:02who's going first and who's going second?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04And whoever is going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09OK, the question concerns...
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Characters In Shakespeare Plays. Richard.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18In a moment, Xander is going to show you the titles
0:18:18 > 0:18:21of four Shakespeare plays. You have to give us any named character
0:18:21 > 0:18:24with a speaking role in one of those plays. So any named character
0:18:24 > 0:18:27with a speaking role in one of those plays, please,
0:18:27 > 0:18:28apart from the title characters.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30We won't accept generic things
0:18:30 > 0:18:32like Roman Soldier or Witch or anything like that.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Any named character with a speaking role in any of these four plays.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- Good luck. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39OK, I'm going to put four plays on the board,
0:18:39 > 0:18:41and they will remain there throughout the whole round.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45You just have to name any character from any of these. And they are...
0:18:56 > 0:19:00There we are. Now, Jonny, how do we feel about this?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Shakespeare's not a great one for me.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05I'm not great with books, really. Um...
0:19:05 > 0:19:08The holding of them? Or the reading of them?
0:19:08 > 0:19:09Everything, really.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12I don't read many books, so this is not great.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Just, just to get the answer on there, Macbeth,
0:19:16 > 0:19:19I'm going to say Lady Macbeth.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Lady Macbeth.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24XANDER EXHALES FORCEFULLY
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Lady Macbeth, says Jonny.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Let's see if it's right and how many of our 100 people said Lady Macbeth.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Absolutely right.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- XANDER CHUCKLES - Wow! 36.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- Well, that's quite a low score, isn't it?- I'll say.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Though you sort of suspect in the context,
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- it might be quite a high score. - Yeah. Luke.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54It's not really a strong point.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58I'm going to go for Macbeth as well, I'm going to go with Duncan.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Duncan, says Luke. Duncan. Let's see how Duncan does.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Well, 36, our best score so far.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Smashed through that with Duncan,
0:20:12 > 0:20:17- 17. Very well done, Luke. - APPLAUSE
0:20:19 > 0:20:20Well done, Luke.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23The king of Scotland who, spoiler alert, is murdered by Macbeth.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29- Oh, you think I shouldn't say Macbeth?- Yeah.- You said it already.
0:20:29 > 0:20:35- I had to, I was reading it out. - Well,- I- had to. I'm describing...
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- And now we're cursed.- But we've all said it, we've virtually all said it.- Yeah, that's true.
0:20:39 > 0:20:44- It seems to be fine thus far. - Yeah, it's fine. Stage weights...
0:20:46 > 0:20:50That light up there does look a little bit precarious.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51OK, there we are.
0:20:51 > 0:20:57- Yes, now then. Simon.- OK, I did Macbeth at school, which helps.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59So I can think of quite a lot of obscure characters,
0:20:59 > 0:21:04but I'm not sure which ones had speaking roles, is the only problem.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- So I'm going to say Macbeth and Donalbain.- Donalbain, says Simon.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12This is very good. I think we're going to forget all about words ending in EAR
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- after this. Donalbain, let's see if it's right.- I'm hoping!
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Let's see how many of our 100 said Donalbain.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20It's right.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Down it goes, look at that.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Brilliant - 1!
0:21:29 > 0:21:31One person said Donalbain.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Very well done indeed, Simon.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Great answer, Simon. Essentially, all Shakespeare plays
0:21:38 > 0:21:40can be put into two camps.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Either A - the one you did at school, or B - all the other ones.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47I have a pretty good working knowledge of Twelfth Night.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- Oh, yeah!- But my working knowledge of the rest of Shakespeare is slightly less good.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Yeah. Anyway, we're halfway through the round,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56so let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59By far the best scorer for that pass was Simon,
0:21:59 > 0:22:02so Simon and Emma looking pretty good at this stage
0:22:02 > 0:22:03with their score of 1.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Then up to 17, where we find Luke and Kate.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Then up to 36, where we find Jonny and Charlie.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10None of them bad scores, but, Charlie,
0:22:10 > 0:22:13you are out in front, so we need a really good low score from you
0:22:13 > 0:22:15if we're going to see you after this round.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Best of luck with that. Second players, please take your places at the podium.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22There we are.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Now, Emma, we are looking for any character
0:22:25 > 0:22:29with a speaking part from one of these Shakespeare plays.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Did you appear in any Shakespeare at school?
0:22:31 > 0:22:33I remember we did Othello,
0:22:33 > 0:22:38but I can't remember any of the characters names at all. Um...
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Mercutio.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42It sounds Shakespearean.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Mercutio, says Emma. You're on 1, the high-scorers on 36
0:22:44 > 0:22:48are Charlie and Jonny, so you want to be scoring 34 or less.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Let's see if Mercutio is right.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Bad luck, Emma. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00It may not be the last incorrect answer of the round,
0:23:00 > 0:23:04but it scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 101.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Sorry, Emma, he's Romeo And Juliet.
0:23:06 > 0:23:12- I hope your English teacher's not watching.- So, Kate, we come to you.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15The high-scorers are now Emma and Simon on 101,
0:23:15 > 0:23:20you're on 17, which means 83 or less sees you into the head-to-head.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Again, not very good for me.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25We did Macbeth at school, but I can't remember any of them.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- All I can think about is the skull. - SHE LAUGHS
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- Well... - So I'm just going to say Yorick.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Now, there is your red line. If you get below that...
0:23:39 > 0:23:42If you get below that with Yorick, you are through to the next round.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Let's see, Yorick. Is it right?
0:23:49 > 0:23:50Bad luck, Kate, I'm really sorry.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52I'm afraid Yorick, an incorrect answer,
0:23:52 > 0:23:55which means you score the maximum of 100 points,
0:23:55 > 0:23:58taking your total up to 117. Richard.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Yeah, sorry, Kate. Not a speaking role, and it's in Hamlet.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, then, Charlie. Charlie!
0:24:05 > 0:24:08What about that? What a lifeline! What a lifeline!
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Kate and Luke are on 117, you're on 36, which means
0:24:10 > 0:24:15if you can score 80 or less - 80 or less, Charlie!
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Well, we shall see, because I did The Merchant Of Venice at school,
0:24:18 > 0:24:23which I was really hoping would come up. But it hasn't. However...
0:24:23 > 0:24:27she will kick me if I get this wrong, but I think my mother has
0:24:27 > 0:24:32a quotation from, I think, Hamlet on a fridge magnet, on her fridge.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37- And I'm hoping it was from Polonius. - Polonius. Good stuff.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Well, there is your red line -
0:24:39 > 0:24:42if you get below that red line, you are through to the next round.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51There you are. Through you go.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55It's a good answer, look at that.
0:24:55 > 0:24:5610. Very well done, Charlie.
0:24:59 > 0:25:0110 takes your total up to 46.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07- Well played, Charlie. Well played your mum, as well.- Thanks, Mum!
0:25:07 > 0:25:08It's a very good answer.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15Barnardo from Hamlet. Brabanzio from Othello.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Cornelius, also from Hamlet.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20From Othello again, Lodovico.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Menenius from Coriolanus, Menteith from Macbeth.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Reynaldo from Hamlet,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29and Virgilia and Volumnia who are both from Coriolanus.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Very well done if you said any of those.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Let's take a look at the answers that most people said.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37From Othello, Desdemona would have scored you 18 points.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39From Hamlet, Ophelia on 20 points.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41And Jonny gave it to us already,
0:25:41 > 0:25:44we said it was a low score, but it was the highest of all,
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Lady Macbeth from Macbeth on 36.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Thanks very much indeed, Richard. At the end of Round Two,
0:25:49 > 0:25:52the losing pair with their high score of 117, it's Kate and Luke.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Yes, bad luck.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58But, Luke, you did very well, King Duncan. A good answer there.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00I'm afraid we have to say goodbye, we will see you again next time,
0:26:00 > 0:26:02we look forward to that.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Meanwhile, thanks very much for playing, Kate and Luke.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07APPLAUSE
0:26:07 > 0:26:08But for the two remaining pairs,
0:26:08 > 0:26:10they're getting one step closer to the final
0:26:10 > 0:26:14and a chance to take home our jackpot as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Congratulations, Jonny and Charlie, Simon and Emma.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23You are now only one round away from the final
0:26:23 > 0:26:27and the chance to play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £4,000.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30APPLAUSE AND WHOOPING
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Obviously, only one pair can play for that money,
0:26:33 > 0:26:36and to decide who, you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39This time, you are allowed to confer.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46This is by far, by far our most intellectual semi we've ever had.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49This is extremely exciting. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:27:01 > 0:27:03..Breeds Of Cat.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07- Breeds Of Cat, Richard. - Yes, let's test out
0:27:07 > 0:27:09just how great PhD students are now.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Yes, so we're going to have some cute photos.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13- Yeah!- That's the good news.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15We're going to show you five photos of cats.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18You just have to tell us which breed is each cat.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- Fantastic.- We can do marks out of 10 on how cute they are if you want.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- Let's do it. - We did it with dogs the other day.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27OK, let's reveal our five photograph of cats, and here they are.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31- A. 2. - RICHARD LAUGHS
0:27:31 > 0:27:36- Are you not a fan? - Look at that face!- Aw...!
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- B.- Aw...!- 6.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- Yeah, I'm going to... That's 8. - Lovely eyes. 6.5.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46C.
0:27:46 > 0:27:485.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Well, I'm going to blame the photo booth.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55I suspect, in his Facebook photos, he's better-looking than that.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58In your passport photo, you're always a bit serious, aren't you?
0:27:58 > 0:28:00D.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Nothing.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05LAUGHTER
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Really? Just because you can't score any cat under 5, I'll give it a 5.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11OK, I'll score 5. Good.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12And E.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Don't look, don't look directly in the face!
0:28:18 > 0:28:21I might go 5 again.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24What's that, master? 10? I'll go 10.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32OK, there we are. There are your five cats.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Jonny and Charlie, you've played best so far, so you get to go first.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Not sure whether that's an advantage, to be honest.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43- (Persian.- Which one?)
0:28:43 > 0:28:48OK, we're not sure, but we're going to say E is a Persian.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52E, Persian, say Jonny and Charlie.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55OK, Simon and Emma, you can talk us through all those cats if you want.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58- OK.- I quite like cats. I think I know most of them.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02- I think I should leave this to you. - Go on, then, Emma.
0:29:02 > 0:29:03OK. A is a Persian cat.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06I think B is Siamese.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07Not certain about C.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09D is Bengal.
0:29:09 > 0:29:10I think E is either...
0:29:10 > 0:29:12maybe British shorthair
0:29:12 > 0:29:13or American shorthair.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16We'll go A, Persian.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19You're going to say A, Persian.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23OK, so, Charlie and Jonny have said E, Persian.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27Let's see if that's right and how many people said it. Is it right?
0:29:30 > 0:29:34Ooh! Simon and Emma have said A, Persian.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38Let's see if A is Persian, and if it is, how many people said that.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44It is right, that's all it had to be.
0:29:46 > 0:29:4816.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50APPLAUSE
0:29:50 > 0:29:55Very well done, Simon and Emma. After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Well played, Emma. Let's clear up E, then.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00E is actually a Burmese.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03A Burmese, would have scored you 11 points.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05That particular cat actually ruled
0:30:05 > 0:30:08the Burmese government for a large time
0:30:08 > 0:30:10in the late '60s and the early '70s,
0:30:10 > 0:30:13until he was deposed by another cat.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15It's terrifying!
0:30:15 > 0:30:17B, you're absolutely right,
0:30:17 > 0:30:18is a Siamese.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Would have scored 55 points.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24C is a pointless answer.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27And that is an Abyssinian.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28It's an Abyssinian.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Poor little thing!
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Nobody knows what breed he is. It's OK.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36And D, you're absolutely right,
0:30:36 > 0:30:38is a Bengal.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40A terrifying Bengal cat, 5 points.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43If you had just a picture of the face of that Bengal,
0:30:43 > 0:30:44- it would be very, very cute.- Yeah.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47OK, thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:30:47 > 0:30:48Here comes your second question.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52Jonny and Charlie need to win this to stay in the game. And it concerns...
0:30:56 > 0:31:01- Richard.- Five clues to facts about the London 2012 Opening Ceremony.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Can you pick the most obscure?
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Let's reveal our five clues to facts
0:31:05 > 0:31:08about the opening ceremony of London 2012.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28I'll read those all one final time.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46There we are. Five clues to facts
0:31:46 > 0:31:49about the Olympics opening ceremony, 2012.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Simon and Emma, you go first this time.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54- (I don't know, I only know the top one.- OK.)
0:31:54 > 0:31:57- Shall we go for play, then?- Yeah.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01OK, OK, we're going to go with the Shakespeare play,
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Shakespeare to the rescue again, I hope. And that's from The Tempest.
0:32:04 > 0:32:10The Tempest, say Simon and Emma. The Tempest. So, Charlie and Jonny.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Well, we don't think anything we know is going to beat that.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16The director was Danny Boyle, we think.
0:32:16 > 0:32:21The Olympic legend was Sir Steve Redgrave, we believe.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25The four words said by the Queen would be something like "Hello.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28"Good morning, Mr Bond," possibly.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30And the copper petals,
0:32:30 > 0:32:34I think are the amount of nations in the Olympics, which we don't know.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- Go safe. Go Danny Boyle. - Go safe, yeah?
0:32:37 > 0:32:40OK, we'll say Danny Boyle was the artistic director.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43OK. Danny Boyle, say Jonny and Charlie.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Simon and Emma said The Tempest. Charlie and Jonny said Danny Boyle.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50The Tempest. Let's see if that's right and how many people said that.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54It's right.
0:32:59 > 0:33:006.
0:33:04 > 0:33:05Wow!
0:33:07 > 0:33:10That's a pleasingly low score. 6 for The Tempest.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Jonny and Charlie, that's what you have to beat to stay in the game,
0:33:13 > 0:33:14and you have gone for Danny Boyle.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Let's see if that's right and how many people said Danny Boyle.
0:33:21 > 0:33:22It's right.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30Oh, Danny Boyle, not enough to beat The Tempest. 27.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Which means after only two questions,
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Simon and Emma are through to the final, 2-0. Very well done.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Well played, Simon and Emma.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Emma took the first one, Simon took the second one, won both of them.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Now, guys, you were going to have a go at the four words
0:33:42 > 0:33:44uttered by the Queen, weren't you?
0:33:44 > 0:33:46And you were going to choose between "Good morning, Mr Bond,"
0:33:46 > 0:33:50- and "Good afternoon, Mr Bond." What would you have gone for?- Morning?
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Good morning. It's "Good evening, Mr Bond."
0:33:53 > 0:33:55And it would have scored 14 points.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57So there's nothing that could have beaten The Tempest.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00It's a terrific answer, very well played.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02The number of copper petals, you're right,
0:34:02 > 0:34:04it's the number of teams competing in the game.
0:34:04 > 0:34:09- Do you want... Anyone hazard a guess?- 204.- Is the right answer! Wow!
0:34:09 > 0:34:13How about that? Well done, would have scored you 7 points.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16And the Olympic legend, you're right, was Sir Steve Redgrave.
0:34:16 > 0:34:21- That would have scored you 33 points. - Thank you very much, Richard.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25So our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is Charlie and Jonny.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Jonny, that was impressive! You must have known that.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Something at the back of my head.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Bit of pointless knowledge, obviously.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Yeah, back of the head, that's where pointless knowledge lives.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36What a shame, we have to say goodbye to you.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38You played so well throughout the whole show
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- and then whitewash from Simon and Emma in that round.- Cats!
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- Cats did it.- Cats. There you go.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Anyway, we'll see you again next time, which is great news.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49We look forward to that, thanks for playing.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51- Jonny and Charlie.- Good luck, guys.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55But for Simon and Emma, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Congratulations Simon and Emma, you fought off all the competition
0:35:04 > 0:35:07and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17At the end of the show, the jackpot stands at £4,000.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19APPLAUSE AND WHOOPING
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Well, this is more like it. You've done so well.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Last time, your first appearance on Pointless, your first two utterances
0:35:27 > 0:35:30scored you 200 points and you left.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Oh, but back you came! Anyway, best of luck. The rules are very simple.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36To win the money, you have find a pointless answer.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Do that and you go home with that jackpot.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40Firstly, you've got to choose a category,
0:35:40 > 0:35:42and here are your five options.
0:35:50 > 0:35:56- OK. Ice Hockey is out, right?- Yes! - Not good on ice hockey.- No.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58I don't know anything about any of them.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- Whichever one you know the most about.- Oh, dear, the pressure!
0:36:01 > 0:36:02This is all down to you now.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05I'm going to take a punt that it is something like the honour system
0:36:05 > 0:36:09- and go for Honours.- Honours. OK. Let's find out what the question is.
0:36:09 > 0:36:15Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:36:15 > 0:36:18members of the Order of the Garter as they could.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Order of the Garter. Richard.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22We're looking for any member of the Order of the Garter,
0:36:22 > 0:36:26which is the oldest and most senior rank of British chivalry.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30And that's as they are listed on the website of the British monarchy.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33- So any member of the Order of the Garter.- Thanks very much, Richard.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36You have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:36 > 0:36:37And all you need to win that £4,000
0:36:37 > 0:36:40is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44- Are you ready?- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46There they are, your time starts now.
0:36:46 > 0:36:47- OK, I think...- Go ahead!
0:36:47 > 0:36:51It's basically...half the royal family's in it, all the big names,
0:36:51 > 0:36:53but I think the best thing to go with is foreign royalty,
0:36:53 > 0:36:58because I think there's a few kings of Denmark and Norway and things like that...
0:36:58 > 0:37:00- OK.- ..in the Order of the Garter as well, I think.
0:37:00 > 0:37:05- So if say Harald V of Norway, that would be one.- OK.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07- Just go for a safe one like Prince Philip.- OK.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09And the third one will be a guess,
0:37:09 > 0:37:14so probably British but less...less obvious than that.
0:37:14 > 0:37:19- So pick a minor royal.- No. - OK!- You go with one.- Um...
0:37:22 > 0:37:25Let's say...
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Oh, Prince Michael of Kent, I guess. OK, there we go.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32OK, we have three answers. That was quick work there, Simon and Emma.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34We'll stop the clock.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37We were looking for members of the Order of the Garter.
0:37:37 > 0:37:43- I now need your three answers.- OK, so we've got King Harald of Norway.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47- King Harald of Norway.- The Duke of Edinburgh.- The Duke of Edinburgh.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49- And Prince Michael of Kent. - And Prince Michael of Kent.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Of those, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:37:51 > 0:37:55- Probably King of Norway. - Harald of Norway.- If he is one!
0:37:55 > 0:37:59- And the Duke of Edinburgh... - We'll put him first, the Duke of Edinburgh?
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- I think so. - And Prince Michael in the middle.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05OK, let's put those up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13So we were looking for members of the Order of the Garter.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Your first answer, the Duke of Edinburgh,
0:38:16 > 0:38:18this was your least likely to be pointless.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Remember, you only have to have one pointless answer to win the jackpot.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Let's see, the Duke of Edinburgh,
0:38:23 > 0:38:26how many of our 100 people said the Duke of Edinburgh?
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Well, it's absolutely right.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34If this goes all the way down to zero, you can leave here immediately
0:38:34 > 0:38:36with that £4,000 in your back pocket.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39Let's see, down through the 30s, down through the 20s,
0:38:39 > 0:38:41- ooh, 19.- OK.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44APPLAUSE
0:38:46 > 0:38:5019 for the Duke of Edinburgh. Not a pointless answer.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54But, actually, considering that he's probably quite a conspicuous
0:38:54 > 0:38:56member of the Order of the Garters, I'd have thought,
0:38:56 > 0:38:58yes, that's quite a low score.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01We need two more chances to win today's jackpot. £4,000.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05- That would be nice.- We've worked it up to £4,000, that's quite nice.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- What would you do with that, Emma? - A holiday would be nice.
0:39:08 > 0:39:09I can't remember what those are like.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13- Yeah, a holiday, I guess. - Very good. Simon?
0:39:13 > 0:39:17Well, either I'll go on holiday or just spend the last year of my PhD
0:39:17 > 0:39:20living like a king on the proceeds.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24- Like a member of the Order of the Garter.- Exactly like that, yes.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26We are looking for members of the Order of the Garter.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Prince Michael of Kent.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot,
0:39:32 > 0:39:36so let's see, for £4,000, how many people said Prince Michael of Kent.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44- Ooh! So obscure, in fact, that it's wrong.- Yes.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47- So obscure, they didn't even give him one.- Right.
0:39:47 > 0:39:52So everything is now resting on your brilliant, brilliant answer,
0:39:52 > 0:39:56King Harald of Norway. This was your most confident shot.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59I think if he is in the Order of the Garter, it's a good one.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03- I just hope that he is.- Yeah! - NOW you're saying if!
0:40:03 > 0:40:07But it's great, though. It's a great answer either way, even if it's wrong.
0:40:07 > 0:40:08Let's find out.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11For £4,000, did anybody say Harald V, King of Norway?
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Is it a pointless answer? Is it a correct answer?
0:40:17 > 0:40:21It's right! Harald V, King of Norway, is a correct answer.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24So the Duke of Edinburgh took us all the way down to 19.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Prince Michael of Kent not invited to that particular party.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30But King Harald V of Norway, down he goes, down he goes, oh!
0:40:30 > 0:40:32AUDIENCE GROANS
0:40:32 > 0:40:33Oh!
0:40:33 > 0:40:36APPLAUSE
0:40:36 > 0:40:37Ohhh...
0:40:42 > 0:40:46Yes, Queen Beatrice of Norway was one of our people... No, she wasn't!
0:40:46 > 0:40:49- How extraordinary. - Extraordinary indeed, yeah.
0:40:49 > 0:40:54- Can you give me that person's name and address?- Wow.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56I thought that was, that was an amazing answer.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59That was a brilliant answer. Anyway, very well done.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that pointless answer,
0:41:02 > 0:41:04bafflingly. Which means I'm afraid
0:41:04 > 0:41:07you don't take away the thoroughly earned
0:41:07 > 0:41:11but un-won jackpot of £4,000, which rolls over onto the next show.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13You have been fantastic contestants,
0:41:13 > 0:41:15and you do get a Pointless trophy so very well done.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19APPLAUSE
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Oh, Simon and Emma.
