0:00:19 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:34Couple number one?
0:00:34 > 0:00:37My name's Richard and this is my nephew, James,
0:00:37 > 0:00:40- and we've come down from Kent today.- Couple number two?
0:00:40 > 0:00:44- My name is Kate, this is my daughter, Jane, and we're from Surrey. - Couple number three?
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Hello, I'm Martin and this is my friend Mark.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48We've known each other for 12 years.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50We both live in Leeds but are originally from Lancashire.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51And couple number four?
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Elizabeth, this is my twin sister, Kate. We're from Manchester.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57These, ladies and gentlemen, are our contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04Thanks, everyone. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06There's one person left for me to introduce.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Obscure Roman history, classic literature,
0:01:08 > 0:01:12the films of Daniel Craig - is there anything this guy can't Google?
0:01:12 > 0:01:14It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Hi, everybody.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- How are you? - I'm very well, thank you.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24I'm genuinely getting excited about this jackpot now.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27We've had a couple of big jackpots, haven't we?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30It builds up and then two or three people win at once,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33then it builds up again, and it's getting pretty high again.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Last time we had two very strong teams who have come back.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Mark and Martin, who got all the way through to the head-to-head.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42We had Kate and Jane, who were good, and then we gave them a sports question
0:01:42 > 0:01:45and they got knocked out. Sometimes you do get tripped up
0:01:45 > 0:01:47and that's why we have people back twice.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Difficult to get tripped up twice.
0:01:50 > 0:01:56- The money is there for the taking, so good luck to all four pairs. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Everybody is looking to find a Pointless answer
0:02:04 > 0:02:07which none of our 100 people gave, and when that happens,
0:02:07 > 0:02:08we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11As Richard said, Greg and Wayne didn't win the jackpot last time
0:02:11 > 0:02:16so we add another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off at £16,000.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29In this round, I'll take an answer from each of you
0:02:29 > 0:02:30but there's no conferring.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round
0:02:34 > 0:02:36will be eliminated, so try and make sure that's not you.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Our first category today is historical figures.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Historical figures.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Can you decide in your pairs who will go first and who will go second.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56The question concerns historical woman. Richard?
0:02:56 > 0:03:01On each pass, we will give you seven clues to historical women.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Can you tell us the name of those historical women, please,
0:03:04 > 0:03:06and we have 14 in all to have a go at in this round. Best of luck.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09So remember, we are looking for the famous historical women
0:03:09 > 0:03:11described by these clues, and here they come.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I'll read those all one last time.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00There we are, seven historical women.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03James, welcome to Pointless.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- This is baptism by fire. - It is a little.- Straight in there.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08What do you do, James?
0:04:08 > 0:04:12I'm currently working as a producer for a psychic TV channel.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Of course I knew that!
0:04:14 > 0:04:18How amazing, a psychic TV channel?
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- Yes, I work with a few interesting characters.- I'll say you do.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Now, James, what do you make of the board?
0:04:25 > 0:04:30There's a couple I think I know, although they'd be quite risky.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I'm probably going to go for the British Queen who succeeded William and Mary.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35I'm going to go for Anne.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Queen Anne, says James.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Let's see if that's right and how many people knew that answer.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44Absolutely right.
0:04:49 > 0:04:5012.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56That's a terrific score. 12 for Queen Anne.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Well played, James, became Queen in 1702.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00They used to call her Brandy Nan because she liked to drink.
0:05:00 > 0:05:06Thanks, Richard. Now then, Jane. Remind us what happened last time.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Well, we did not badly in the first round
0:05:09 > 0:05:12and we went out in the second round.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17- We didn't know so much about sporting biopic films.- That was a tough one.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20What things do you like to get up to, Jane?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22My husband and I like American police dramas a lot.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27They are often very good answers on Pointless, so fingers crossed.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29How are you on your historical women?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Well, this board is not looking bad.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36It's difficult to know which ones are low scorers and high scorers
0:05:36 > 0:05:42but I'm going to go for the woman who refused to give up her seat which triggered the Montgomery bus boycott,
0:05:42 > 0:05:44and I think her name is Rosa Parks.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45Rosa Parks, says Jane.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Let's see if Rosa Parks is right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52It's right.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Oh, very well done indeed, Jane, that's a great score.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Eight.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Yes, it's a measure of how much the world has come.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09In 1955 for doing what she did,
0:06:09 > 0:06:12she was fired from her job at a department store.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Her husband was fired as well. She was fined in the courts
0:06:15 > 0:06:18and then Bill Clinton give her the Congressional Gold Medal,
0:06:18 > 0:06:20which is a lovely end to a terrible story.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Isn't it just? Now then, Mark, welcome back to Pointless.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Head-to-headers you were last time?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Yes, we made that classic mistake everyone makes
0:06:28 > 0:06:31and mixed up T.Rex with jazz standards!
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Mark, remind us what you do and what you like to get up to.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Well, I'm in the very exciting world of logistics
0:06:39 > 0:06:42so a lot of ocean freight and that exciting stuff.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44In my spare time, I play a lot of golf.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47I love to watch football, I'm a big Liverpool fan
0:06:47 > 0:06:49and I've got a little boy so I love a bit of family time as well.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Excellent. How's your historical women?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55I thought my history was quite good but I'm really struggling here.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58I have three answers, two are little bit of a gamble,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01but looking at the scores so far, I need to take a gamble
0:07:01 > 0:07:04so I hope I haven't got this name completely wrong,
0:07:04 > 0:07:07but the Empress of Russia, I would say, would be Catherine the Great.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Catherine the Great, says Mark.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16It's absolutely right.
0:07:16 > 0:07:2012 and 8, our two scores so far.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21Very well done, 17.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Well played, Mark, you had to take a risk, and it paid off.
0:07:30 > 0:07:36Her full name is Sophie Friederike Auguste von Anhalt-Zerbst.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39That's her full name.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Catherine the Great is just a nickname she got at school!
0:07:43 > 0:07:45It sticks sometimes, doesn't it?
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- Now then, Elizabeth, welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- It's always good having twins on the show.- Yes.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56We need more twins on the show. What do you do, Elizabeth?
0:07:56 > 0:08:01- We're both retired, we both worked for the NHS.- In the same department?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Many hospitals, we were together at the same time.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Did you ever swap jobs for fun?
0:08:06 > 0:08:08No, but people would get us mixed up quite often.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13You're the last person to have this board, so talk us through as much of it as you can.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17OK, I don't think I can beat the ones that have been said so far.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Cousin of Elizabeth I, I think that is Lady Jane Grey.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24The little black dress, I was going to say Coco Chanel.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29Discovered radium, I was thinking perhaps Madame Curie
0:08:29 > 0:08:33and the last one would be, I'm hoping, Lady Godiva.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I don't know which one to choose.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40I think I will go with Elizabeth I's cousin, Lady Jane Grey.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Lady Jane Grey, says Elizabeth. Let's see if that's right.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Lady Jean Grey, how many people said it, if it is?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Oh, no, bad luck, Elizabeth.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer
0:08:52 > 0:08:55and that scores you the maximum of 100 points, I'm sorry. Richard?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Lady Jane Grey was executed in 1554, I'm afraid.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03In 1587, that was Mary Queen of Scots.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05It would have scored 43 points.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08The little black dress, you were right, was Coco Chanel.
0:09:08 > 0:09:1115 points - that would have been a terrific answer.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16You were right about Lady Godiva as well, a bigger score, 66 points.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20It was Marie Curie who discovered radium with her husband
0:09:20 > 0:09:22and that would have scored 37.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25The best answer on the board was Rosa Parks, so very well done, Jane.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Thanks, Richard, we're halfway through the round, let's take a look at the scores.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Eight, very much the best score of that pass. Well done, Jane, looking good.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36James and Richard, ditto on 12.
0:09:36 > 0:09:4017, not a bad score for Mark and Martin and I'm afraid the twins,
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Elizabeth and Kate, a little bit out ahead, on 100.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Yes, we need a good answer on the next board, Kate.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47We're going to come back down the line.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54We'll put seven more clues on the board, and here they come.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56We have got...
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I will read those all one last time.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43There we are. Remember we are looking for
0:10:43 > 0:10:45the famous women described by these clues.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47You are going to try and find the one you think
0:10:47 > 0:10:49the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Now then, Kate M, let's hope you can find a good answer on this board.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Um, I think I know two,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58but I'm going to have to take a risk here,
0:10:58 > 0:11:00and it is a complete guess.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05I am going to go for who wrote the novel Sense And Sensibility,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07I'm going to go for Jane Austen, complete guess.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10OK, Jane Austen says Kate.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13There's no red line for you as you are the high-scorers,
0:11:13 > 0:11:14but let's see if Jane Austen is right.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17It's absolutely right, yes.
0:11:20 > 0:11:2147.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22APPLAUSE
0:11:22 > 0:11:2747 takes your total up to, I'm afraid, an unbeatable 147.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Yes, it was originally called
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Eleanor And Marianne, after its main characters.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35- It was published under the author's name "A Lady".- There we are.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Now then, Martin. Well, there's cheering news,
0:11:38 > 0:11:41you are through to the next round, whatever happens.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42Your low score of 17,
0:11:42 > 0:11:45even if you score 100 points, you won't overtake Kate and Elizabeth.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Historical Women.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Yes, I wouldn't say it was one of my strong subjects.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55I think I know couple of those on there and the one I'll go for
0:11:55 > 0:11:59is the Queen of France, guillotined in 1793,
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I'm pretty sure it is Marie Antoinette.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Marie Antoinette, says Martin. Marie Antoinette.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06No red line for you, you are already through.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Let's see how many people said Mary Antoinette.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Absolutely right.
0:12:15 > 0:12:1625.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18APPLAUSE
0:12:18 > 0:12:2042 your total.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26Yes, good answer again. She was beheaded nine months after Louis XVI.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- Kate, again, you are already through.- Right.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Remind us what you do, Kate.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35I am an independent market researcher, working freelance.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39- In the area... - In the pharmaceutical industry.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42That's right. What do you like getting up to in your spare time?
0:12:42 > 0:12:46I swim. I swim three times a week. I read quite a lot.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49I watch Pointless quite a lot, actually.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51THEY CHUCKLE
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Brilliant.- Every day.- Very good training for the programme.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58- Do you have any tactics for the show today?- Yes and no.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02On this particular question, there's one that I'm thinking that
0:13:02 > 0:13:06I'm almost 100% certain of. I know Jane will be 100% certain on this.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10If I get this wrong she will be cross but I'm going to say
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Quaker prison reformer born in Norwich, 1780, is Elizabeth Fry.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Elizabeth Fry says Kate, Elizabeth Fry.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18No red line for you, you're already through
0:13:18 > 0:13:21but let's see how many people said Elizabeth Fry.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- It is absolutely right.- Phew!
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Oh, it's a good answer.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Look at that. 15. Very well done indeed.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36A lovely low total of 23 for Kate and Jane. Looking very strong.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Well done, Kate. An instantly familiar face, Elizabeth Fry,
0:13:39 > 0:13:40because she is on the £5 note.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Now then, Richard, welcome to the show. Good to have you here.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- What do you do, Richard? - I work as a bookmaker.- Do you?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Well, your odds are pretty good, I would say at this time.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52At the moment, yes!
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Yes, who would you say are the favourites for the final today?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Shall I put some pressure on them, shall I?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59I will say the two young ladies at the back here.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Yes, I think that is probably right on the back of that answer.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- What do you make of our board of historical women?- Um...
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- Do you think you might be able to fill them all in for us?- No!
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I can only fill in two, basically.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14I feel that is the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland who would be
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Queen Victoria, and the actress and one-time orange seller is Nell Gwyn.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Not too sure on the other two. So we'll go for
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Nell Gwyn for the actress and one-time orange seller.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25OK, Nell Gwyn, says Richard. Let's see if that is right.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27No red line again, you are already through.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Let's see how many people said Nell Gwyn.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Absolutely right.
0:14:36 > 0:14:3834.
0:14:38 > 0:14:4034, taking your total up to 46.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Well played, Richard. I think it's going to be a good show today.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46I think we heard some good answers there.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Let's take a look through the rest of these answers.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Now, there are two quite tough ones there.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55The person who sponsored Christopher Columbus's voyage was Queen Isabella.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57That would have scored you 10 points.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59The best answer on the board is the person who wrote that
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Lord Byron was, "mad, bad and dangerous to know".
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- Caroline Lamb.- Lady Caroline Lamb, absolutely right. Two points.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Now, the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, 1837 to 1901,
0:15:08 > 0:15:10what do you think that is scoring?
0:15:10 > 0:15:14I would imagine that must be scoring, I would hope in the 90s.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- You would hope, wouldn't you?- Yes. - It scored 64 points.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Queen Victoria, 64 points.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22So she scored less than Lady Godiva. AUDIENCE MURMUR
0:15:24 > 0:15:26If you really want to be memorable,
0:15:26 > 0:15:28don't be the greatest ruler ever of the greatest empire ever.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Just take your clothes off and sit on a horse.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- LAUGHTER - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37At the end of our first round, the losing pair with 147,
0:15:37 > 0:15:39I am afraid it's Kate and Elizabeth.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Oh, dear, you have hardly been here.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44A great show, but that was a tough board for you, that one, wasn't it?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Yeah. Mary Queen of Scots.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49I know, I know. I know that now.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Ah, well. We will see you again next time,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Kate and Elizabeth, I look forward to that.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Thanks very much for playing, meanwhile.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58APPLAUSE
0:15:58 > 0:16:02But for the remaining three pairs it is now time for Round Two.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Now, very sadly
0:16:07 > 0:16:10we will have two lose another pair at the end of this round.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Three very, very strong pairs in front of me now.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Hard to think which one it is going to be.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Well, best of luck to all three pairs.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Our category for Round Two is...
0:16:21 > 0:16:23It is a words round. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:16:23 > 0:16:26who's going to go first who's going to go second.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many words
0:16:37 > 0:16:39ending in FE as they could.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Just the two letters this time. FE, Richard.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45We are looking for any word in the Oxford Dictionary Of English
0:16:45 > 0:16:47that has its own entry and ends FE.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50As always, no proper nouns and no hyphenated words either.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Quite often in these rounds there's hundreds and hundreds of words.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56In this, there's round about 40. There's not so many.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- You put your thinking cap on as well. - Yes, oh, yes. You can see that?
0:16:59 > 0:17:01I have got it on. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Now then, Richard.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Only 40 words, and I can't think of hardly any of them.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11I could take risky punt or play safe here.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14There is only 40 words...
0:17:14 > 0:17:18I am going to play safe and say knife.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Knife, let's see if that's right,
0:17:20 > 0:17:23and if it is, let's see how many people said knife.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27It is correct.
0:17:30 > 0:17:3247.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34APPLAUSE
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Well done, Richard.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38It is tough to know whether to play it safe
0:17:38 > 0:17:40or go for a risk on that first podium.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Now then, Jane.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Well, funnily enough, even before Richard gave that answer,
0:17:44 > 0:17:48the word that popped into my head was jackknife,
0:17:48 > 0:17:50so I am going to say jackknife.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Jackknife, says Jane, let's see if it is right
0:17:53 > 0:17:55and let see how many people said it.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57It's right.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- 1 for jackknife!- Well done!
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Very well done indeed. A great answer, Jane.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11APPLAUSE
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Yes, that is very well played, Jane. Terrific answer.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Yes, jackknife, it is a real knife, a jackknife,
0:18:15 > 0:18:17but we talk about lorries jackknifing
0:18:17 > 0:18:19You can do a jackknife in diving and what have you.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22It just means bending at the waist essentially
0:18:22 > 0:18:23and then straightening out.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25- Now then, Martin.- Still struggling.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Not really got very many options here.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31I think I am going to get quite a high score.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33I'm going to go for giraffe.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- Giraffe. - MURMURING
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Oh, no, it gets a murmur of appreciation. Yes.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- RICHARD LAUGHS - It could be a double F.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Giraffe, let's see if it's right.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Let us see how many people said giraffe.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47It's correct.
0:18:53 > 0:18:5511, well done. Good answer.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57APPLAUSE
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Yes, good answer. It got a good murmur from the audience
0:19:02 > 0:19:05and a very good score as well. The world's tallest animal, the giraffe.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08And the tallest giraffe is the tallest animal in the world.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09Yeah, it would be.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13It's a giraffe in Berlin zoo called Stephen.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Really?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Yes, it stands 19 feet 2 inches high.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- Really?- Not really!
0:19:21 > 0:19:26- But, it might as well be.- No, it was the Stephen that I liked.- Yes.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27OK, we're halfway through the round,
0:19:27 > 0:19:30let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:19:30 > 0:19:321, very much the best score of that pass, Jane,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34very, very well done. Jackknife, a cracking answer.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Up to 11, where we find Martin and Mark.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Giraffe, very, very impressive as well.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Richard and James, a little bit ahead there on 47,
0:19:42 > 0:19:44but we have had some good answers there,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47so I need to get you thinking. So we will come back down the line now.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54OK, so we are looking for words ending in FE.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57FE. Mark.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Well, it's whether I take a gamble now or play a little bit safer.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03I'm going to play a bit safer, I think.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- I'm going to say the word strife. - Strife.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09OK, well, if you can score 35 or less with that,
0:20:09 > 0:20:11you'll avoid becoming the new high-scorers.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15There's your red line, let's see how many people said strife.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18It's right.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- 40. So, 51 is your total. - AUDIENCE GROAN
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Not a bad risk to take. It just caused you too many points there.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32A bitter argument or disagreement, strife.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Like there is strife if you sit behind a giraffe in a cinema.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37LAUGHTER
0:20:37 > 0:20:42Kate. Kate, lovely low score from Jane in that first pass.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Brilliant, brilliant answer, jackknife.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47That's how you get low scores in these kind of rounds.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Kate, what are you going to go for?
0:20:49 > 0:20:53I have one which is a little bit risky but I am fairly sure,
0:20:53 > 0:20:57and another one which I'm absolutely certain of. But I think
0:20:57 > 0:21:00I'm actually going to go for the risky one because...
0:21:00 > 0:21:05- It's fife spelt with a lowercase. - Fife.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08There we are, well, you want to be scoring 49 or less with fife.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11There is your red line.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14If you get below this and you are through to the next round.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Let's see how many people said fife.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Absolutely right.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23And you are in the head-to-head.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I wonder how far this is going to go.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Oh! 15! - APPLAUSE
0:21:28 > 0:21:3115 is a surprisingly high score for fife,
0:21:31 > 0:21:34but there we are, it takes your total up to a lovely low 16.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Well played, Kate.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Yes, a small flute that's played with a drum in military bands.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Scores 15, or three times FIFE!
0:21:40 > 0:21:42LAUGHTER
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- James.- Fife was a good word. - It was a great word.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51I am having difficulty thinking of any words, really.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54I'm going for one that I know is going to be there, hopefully.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Midwife.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Midwife. Oh, there's another murmur of approval there
0:21:59 > 0:22:02from our assembled company. Midwife, says James.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05You're currently on 47. The high score is on 51.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08You have to be scoring three or less with midwife
0:22:08 > 0:22:11if you want to be staying with us. There's your red line.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Very low. Let's see how many people said midwife.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19It's absolutely right.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25It's still going down!
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Oh, you've done it! You've done it, James! That is a fantastic answer!
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Second best answer of the round. Midwife.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35As ever, the midwife came in just when we needed her.
0:22:35 > 0:22:3750 is your total.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39You are through to the head-to-head. That's fantastic.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Yes, how about that? James, well done. The midwife delivered!
0:22:42 > 0:22:45That is terrific. I was hoping you were going to go for afterlife.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48I thought that might have been more... But that would have scored you 4 points
0:22:48 > 0:22:51so that would have been a draw. You knew that, you knew that.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- Have you got one for me? Yes, butter knife.- Butter knife?
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Oh, you're good. That's 100 points.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58- Sorry.- Is it hyphenated?
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Not even that, I think it's just two words.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- Really?- Yes.- OK.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- Sorry.- No, it's fair enough.- There are a couple of knife words in there.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10I was thinking of bread knife but that also would not have been an acceptable answer.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12There are a couple of knife words.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Let's take a look at the pointless ones. Alewife is the name of a fish.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Cybercafe is a good one. Another name for an internet cafe.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Folklife, which is, you know, the life of a community.
0:23:22 > 0:23:28Goodwife, that's an archaic Scottish term. Loosestrife are tall plants.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Midlife, now you know about that.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35You've all had all sorts of trouble with yours, haven't you?
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- By the way, I love your new car. - Do you?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Nightlife was a pointless answer. Very well done if you said that.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Pocketknife as well, also paperknife you could have had. And pouffe...
0:23:45 > 0:23:49..at the end there, which you put your feet up on.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53You could have also had ruffe and underlife and vouchsafe,
0:23:53 > 0:23:55- that's a nice one.- That is good.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Funnily enough, if anybody had played safe in that show,
0:23:58 > 0:24:00they would have scored 35 points - safe -
0:24:00 > 0:24:02so actually playing safe would have been fairly safe.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Let's look at the biggest answers,
0:24:04 > 0:24:06the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Richard, the first one will be familiar to you, it's knife.
0:24:09 > 0:24:1347 points. Then it is wife. 61.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- If you knife your wife, you get... - Life!
0:24:15 > 0:24:1878 points. LAUGHTER
0:24:19 > 0:24:23That's how I remember it! Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25At the end of our second round, the losing pair
0:24:25 > 0:24:28with their high score of 51, I'm afraid, is Mark and Martin.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Oh, you were head-to-headers last time.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33It was a very low scoring round and very, very exciting
0:24:33 > 0:24:35in the closing stages. I thought you were through there.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Yes, I thought we were.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Strong contenders, strong couples. It is just difficult.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Yes, I know. We were reckoning without James, weren't we?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44We have to say goodbye to you now.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46This is your second chance, I'm afraid. It really is goodbye.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50It's been great having you on the show. Thanks for playing, Mark and Martin.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- APPLAUSE - But, for the two remaining pairs,
0:24:52 > 0:24:54they are getting one step closer to the final
0:24:54 > 0:24:58and the chance of taking home that massive jackpot as we enter the head-to-head.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Congratulations, Kate and Jane, Richard and James,
0:25:05 > 0:25:08you're only one round away from the final and
0:25:08 > 0:25:11the chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £16,000.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- AUDIENCE:- Ooooh! - APPLAUSE
0:25:14 > 0:25:16It's got to be won one of these days.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Now, only one pair can play for that money.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21To decide which it will be, you are now going to go head-to-head,
0:25:21 > 0:25:23but you are now allowed to confer.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29So, Kate and Jane, through to the head-to-head this time,
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- that's a relief.- Big relief. - Very good, you can confer.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34It takes all the pressure off I think.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36And, Richard, Richard and James.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39What were the odds on you coming this far in your first appearance?
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Well, it was about 3 to 1, there were four of us up there.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44LAUGHTER
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Good stuff. Well, best of luck to both. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50APPLAUSE
0:25:53 > 0:25:56OK, here is your first question and it concerns...
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Acting Musicians, Richard.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04We are going to show you five film stills of actors
0:26:04 > 0:26:07who are better known as singers. Can you identify them, please? Good luck.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10OK, let's reveal our actors better known as singers, and here they are.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12We have got...
0:26:27 > 0:26:31There we are. Five actors who are also singers.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Kate and Jane, you've played best throughout the show so far,
0:26:33 > 0:26:35so you get to go first.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40(I think D is David Bowie, and E is Tina Turner.)
0:26:40 > 0:26:42(Is A Kylie?)
0:26:42 > 0:26:43(It could be.)
0:26:43 > 0:26:47(Which one do you want to go for? E?)
0:26:47 > 0:26:51OK. We'll go with E, Tina Turner.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55E, Tina Turner, say Kate and Jane. E, Tina Turner.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Now then, Richard and James, talk us through the board.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59- James will talk you through the board.- James.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02I think I know the rest, apart from B.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03I believe A is Kylie Minogue,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Street Fighter or something like that.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07C is Beyonce,
0:27:07 > 0:27:10D is David Bowie, and I think E is Tina Turner.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Out of those, I'm probably going to go for A, Kylie Minogue.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17A, Kylie Minogue, say Richard and James.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19So, Kate and Jane said Tina Turner.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Let's see if that's right, and how many people said Tina Turner.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25It's absolutely right.
0:27:28 > 0:27:2951.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31APPLAUSE
0:27:31 > 0:27:33You were right, I'm sorry. It just didn't look like him.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Now then, Richard and James have said Kylie Minogue for A.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37Let's see if that's right,
0:27:37 > 0:27:40and if it is let's see how many people said Kylie.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43It's right.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44Is it going to beat 51?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Yes, it is.
0:27:46 > 0:27:4827.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50APPLAUSE
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Well done, Richard and James.
0:27:52 > 0:27:53Or James.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Yeah, well played, James, let's take a look at the rest now.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01B, the one you didn't know, is the best answer on the board.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05Do you recognise him? You'll recognise it when I tell you.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06Yes, I do recognise him.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08- It's Meatloaf.- Ahhhh.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10It would have scored 13 points.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Once you know, it looks like him. 13 points there.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- Is he actually singing there, Richard?- He's not.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17He's shouting at somebody.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Shouting, "I'd do anything for love, but I won't do that."
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Yeah. Exactly right.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24C, absolutely right, James, was Beyonce.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27A very good score, actually, it would have scored 14 points.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- Did you know that one, Jane and Kate? - I knew Kylie Minogue.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Yeah, we weren't 100% sure, so, yeah.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35You picked the highest one on the board, I'm afraid,
0:28:35 > 0:28:38because even D, David Bowie, would have scored fewer points.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40That would have scored 36. That's him in Labyrinth.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Kate and Jane, you have to win this to stay in the game.
0:28:46 > 0:28:47Best of luck. It concerns...
0:28:50 > 0:28:51The United Nations, Richard.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Finally, some questions about the United Nations.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Five clues here to facts about the United Nations.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- Which of these is the most obscure? - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02OK, let's reveal our five clues to facts about the United Nations,
0:29:02 > 0:29:04and here they come. We have got...
0:29:18 > 0:29:20I'll read those one final time.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36There we are, five clues to facts about the United Nations.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Richard and James, you go first.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41- You're struggling, aren't you? - I'll leave this to you, this one.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46MUTTERING
0:29:51 > 0:29:52- Yeah.- Go for it then?
0:29:52 > 0:29:56We know one, but I think it's going to be quite a high answer,
0:29:56 > 0:29:58so we're going to have a little punt on
0:29:58 > 0:30:01the Secretary general from 1997 to 2006.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03- And that was...?- Kofi Annan.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Kofi Annan, say Richard and James.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10Now then, Kate and Jane, the board is now yours. Take us through it.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Well, I know the Universal Declaration Of Human Rights
0:30:14 > 0:30:19was in 1948, and Mum thinks that the UN was founded in 1947,
0:30:19 > 0:30:20which would completely fit.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23I know it was formed after the Second World War,
0:30:23 > 0:30:25but maybe not 100% certain. Do you know the second one?
0:30:25 > 0:30:27I don't know the second one.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29The colour of the headgear is blue, isn't it?
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- Did you know the last one? - The last one is South Sudan.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- Are you pretty sure on that one? - Well, it's the newest...
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- Yes, let's go for South Sudan. - We will go for South Sudan.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41South Sudan, say Kate and Jane. South Sudan.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43So, we have Kofi Annan and we have South Sudan.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46This is one you have to win, remember. No room for error.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Richard and James, Kofi Annan -
0:30:48 > 0:30:50how many people said that? Is it right?
0:30:52 > 0:30:53Absolutely right.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00It's a good low score, 19, very well done.
0:31:00 > 0:31:01APPLAUSE
0:31:03 > 0:31:0419 for Kofi Annan.
0:31:04 > 0:31:09Kate and Jane have taken a bit of a punt? Maybe not a punt?
0:31:09 > 0:31:12South Sudan, they are saying, the newest member of the UN,
0:31:12 > 0:31:15joined in 2011, let's see if that's right
0:31:15 > 0:31:17and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:31:19 > 0:31:20Absolutely right.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26And it keeps you in the game, and it... Oh!
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Three, look at that.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29Very, very well done, Kate.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31APPLAUSE
0:31:31 > 0:31:33That's really good, well done.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35That's a great answer, very well done indeed.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37You are very much back in the game, Kate and Jane.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39After two questions, it's one apiece.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Well played, Kate, that's a great answer.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44They're the newest nation to join the UN at the time of recording.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46At the start of 2011, the southerners in Sudan
0:31:46 > 0:31:49were allowed to vote on whether they wanted to secede
0:31:49 > 0:31:54from the North, and they got over 98% of the vote
0:31:54 > 0:31:56- to form their own country.- Wow.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58But it's a terrific head-to-head, again, as well,
0:31:58 > 0:32:00cos it's another good answer, Kofi Annan.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03The headgear one is the most obvious, that's blue,
0:32:03 > 0:32:05but would have scored 47 points.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08The year it was founded, you'd have been wrong with '47,
0:32:08 > 0:32:11it was '45, actually, October 24, 1945.
0:32:12 > 0:32:13That would have scored five points.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16And the actor appointed first UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador,
0:32:16 > 0:32:19it's a pointless answer, very well done to anyone at home
0:32:19 > 0:32:22who said Danny Kaye, a pointless answer.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26So, here comes the decider. Question number three.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:32:28 > 0:32:30and plays for that colossal jackpot.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Best of luck. It concerns...
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Tennis world number ones, Richard.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Just five anagrams here of men or women who've been
0:32:40 > 0:32:42world-number-one tennis players.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Can you unscramble them and give us the lowest answer?
0:32:45 > 0:32:47- Very best of luck, both teams. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50OK, let's reveal our five anagrams, and here they come.
0:32:50 > 0:32:51We have got...
0:32:58 > 0:32:59I'll read them one last time.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07There we are, five anagrams of tennis world number ones.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Kate and Jane, obviously you go first again this time.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19We think we know two. We can't see the other three.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Which one shall we go for? The bottom one?
0:33:21 > 0:33:25- I think the anagram is easier on the first one, though.- All right.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28We'll go for Anvil Lend as Ivan Lendl.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29Ivan Lendl.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Ivan Lendl, say Kate and Jane.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33OK, Richard and James,
0:33:33 > 0:33:35take us through as much of the board as you can.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38We're struggling a bit, as well, but we're going to go for
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Venus Williams for Minus All Wives.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Minus All Wives, Venus Williams.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47So, we have Ivan Lendl versus Venus Williams.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Let's see, Ivan Lendl, say Kate and Jane.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56It is right.
0:33:58 > 0:33:5957.
0:33:59 > 0:34:0157 for Ivan Lendl.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03APPLAUSE
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Richard and James have gone for Venus Williams.
0:34:06 > 0:34:07Let's see if Venus Williams is right,
0:34:07 > 0:34:09let's see how many people said that.
0:34:11 > 0:34:12It's right.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Oh, you've done it!
0:34:16 > 0:34:18And how! Look at that, 21.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20APPLAUSE
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Which means, after three questions - what a nail-biter -
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Richard and James are through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- Very well done indeed. - Well played, Richard and James.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32- Did you know any others, Kate and Jane?- Steffi Graf.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Yeah, that wouldn't have won you the point, either.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36It's the top one there, and would have scored you 38.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39The other two are the best two. Area And Fall...
0:34:39 > 0:34:40That's Rafael Nadal.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42- ALL:- Ooh!
0:34:42 > 0:34:44One of the most famous tennis players in the world,
0:34:44 > 0:34:46but a very tough anagram. 13 points.
0:34:46 > 0:34:47And Ark Aviation Craze.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50That's a pointless answer, well done if you said it at home,
0:34:50 > 0:34:52she's not Russian, she's Belarusian.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54And she's Victoria Azarenka.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Pointless, very, very well done if you got that at home.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58Excellent, thanks so much, Richard.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Well, our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:01 > 0:35:03I'm afraid, it's Kate and Jane.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Such a strong performance, the whole way through...
0:35:05 > 0:35:07well, the whole way through THIS show
0:35:07 > 0:35:09and the two rounds you were in of the last show.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12- Sport again!- Sport, I'm afraid.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14I'm so sorry, but so sharp on every other one,
0:35:14 > 0:35:18and, actually, not a bad score on any of those answers, at all, including Ivan Lendl.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21I'm sorry, though, we have to say goodbye.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23A real shame, but thanks so much for playing, Kate and Jane.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25APPLAUSE
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Well done, good luck.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30But, for Richard and James, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32APPLAUSE
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Well, congratulations, Richard and James,
0:35:35 > 0:35:39you've seen off all the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46You now have a chance to win the Pointless jackpot,
0:35:46 > 0:35:50and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £16,000.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:35:54 > 0:35:58Well, you've stormed it through here on your first appearance
0:35:58 > 0:36:01on Pointless - your only appearance on Pointless, as it now is.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Yeah, very interesting,
0:36:03 > 0:36:05you said the girls were going to be the favourites to win.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08- I did.- Good reverse psychology there, Richard.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10- Yeah, that saw them off. - Put the pressure on them.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Yeah, well, best of luck to you.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15The rules are very simple - all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Do that, and you will leave here with £16,000.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20First, though, you have to choose a category,
0:36:20 > 0:36:21and here are the five options.
0:36:31 > 0:36:32Hmmm.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34- European Pop?- European Pop, no.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- World Politics, probably. - You reckon?
0:36:37 > 0:36:40That could be Australian Prime Ministers, or something like that.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- British Actresses? - Shall we go British Actresses?
0:36:43 > 0:36:44All right. You sure?
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Yeah, we'll go with British Actresses.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50OK, British Actresses, you're going to go for.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:36:54 > 0:36:58to name as many Tilda Swinton films! There you are!
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Oooh!
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Tilda Swinton films, Richard.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Looking for any feature film made for cinema release
0:37:05 > 0:37:07for which Tilda Swinton has received an acting credit
0:37:07 > 0:37:09up to the end of September 2012, please.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13No TV films, short films or documentaries, but voice performances do count.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Very, very best of luck, guys.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:17 > 0:37:22All you need to win that £16,000 jackpot is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24- OK, are you ready?- Yeah.- Ready.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29There they are, your time starts now.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34Of all the actresses, Tilda Swinton is not one I know anything about.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37Right, we've got We Need To Talk About Kevin...
0:37:39 > 0:37:41The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button...
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Tilda Swinton...
0:37:45 > 0:37:47There's not a part two to that, is there?
0:37:47 > 0:37:49She was...
0:37:49 > 0:37:53I'm trying to think of old films she might have been in.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59British films she's been in. Or ANY film!
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Is she an old actress?
0:38:01 > 0:38:03She's about, I don't know, in her 40s. Um...
0:38:05 > 0:38:08British biopics... I don't think she was in...
0:38:10 > 0:38:11..The Iron Lady.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14We can plump for that, anyway, if it comes to it,
0:38:14 > 0:38:17- if you've got an answer there. - The Iron Lady, maybe.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20I don't think she was in The King's Speech.
0:38:20 > 0:38:2110 seconds left.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24Keep The King's Speech to one side in case, maybe?
0:38:24 > 0:38:28Urgh, Tilda Swinton... I don't know any more.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30What was that first answer?
0:38:30 > 0:38:32OK, that is time up.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34We were looking for Tilda Swinton films,
0:38:34 > 0:38:37I now need your three answers. What are you going to give me?
0:38:37 > 0:38:39- The Iron Lady...- The Iron Lady...
0:38:39 > 0:38:41The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button...
0:38:41 > 0:38:42The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button...
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- ..and We Need To Talk About Kevin. - ..and We Need To Talk About Kevin.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48There we are, three answers, three films starring Tilda Swinton.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51Of those three, which do you think is your best crack at a pointless answer?
0:38:51 > 0:38:54I don't even know if it's the right title - We Need To Talk About Kevin.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56We'll put that last.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- Which is your least likely? - Iron Lady.- The Iron Lady.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01OK, let's put those up on the board, and here they are.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03We have got...
0:39:07 > 0:39:09OK, so we were looking for Tilda Swinton films.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13Your first answer, The Iron Lady, was your least confident shot
0:39:13 > 0:39:16at a pointless answer, you're not entirely sure if it's right.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Only have to find one pointless answer, remember,
0:39:18 > 0:39:19to win that jackpot of £16,000.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22So, let's see how many people said The Iron Lady. Is it right?
0:39:24 > 0:39:25No.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28No great surprise there.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31So, only two more shots at that Pointless jackpot.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Your next answer, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37How confident were you that she's in this?
0:39:37 > 0:39:39I'm, yeah, pretty sure she's in this,
0:39:39 > 0:39:41but it's a pretty well-known film, so...
0:39:41 > 0:39:44OK, well, let's just say it goes all the way down,
0:39:44 > 0:39:46what would you do with £16,000?
0:39:46 > 0:39:50Me, personally, I would buy a summer house for our back garden,
0:39:50 > 0:39:54because my garden shed's sort of leaning like that at the moment.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57- It needs something new. - A Pointless summerhouse.
0:39:57 > 0:39:58James, how about you?
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Well, I'm currently doing my TEFL at the moment,
0:40:01 > 0:40:04so it would go to teaching abroad, eventually, if...
0:40:05 > 0:40:08- Well, it would help. - Well, fingers crossed.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11But who knows? Maybe those psychics knew what they were on about.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Maybe one of these answers is pointless and you'll be leaving with £16,000.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17Let's see if Benjamin Button is the answer that will win you that jackpot.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button -
0:40:19 > 0:40:21has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:40:21 > 0:40:22How many people said it?
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Well, it's absolutely right.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28The Iron Lady, your first answer, was an incorrect answer.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button is taking us rapidly down
0:40:31 > 0:40:33the column, down into these teens,
0:40:33 > 0:40:35into single figures, still going down...
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Oh, three!
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Whoa-ho-ho-ho!
0:40:39 > 0:40:40APPLAUSE
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Oh!
0:40:42 > 0:40:45You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47We're looking for Tilda Swinton films.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Your third and final answer, We Need To Talk About Kevin,
0:40:50 > 0:40:53you thought was probably your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:53 > 0:40:54It has to be right,
0:40:54 > 0:40:57and it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot,
0:40:57 > 0:41:01so let's find out how many people said We Need To Talk About Kevin?
0:41:03 > 0:41:05It's right.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08The Iron Lady was an incorrect answer,
0:41:08 > 0:41:11the Curious Case Of Benjamin Button took us down to three.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14We need to talk about Kevin is now taking us down, down it goes...
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Five. Oh, bad luck.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Unlucky, mate.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20APPLAUSE
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Two really good answers there.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27I thought Benjamin Button was a really good answer,
0:41:27 > 0:41:30I thought that might have gone all the way down.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Bad luck, I'm afraid you didn't find that all-important
0:41:32 > 0:41:35pointless answer, which means, I'm afraid, you don't win today's
0:41:35 > 0:41:37jackpot of £16,000, which rolls over on to the next show.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40But you've been just brilliant, fantastic contestants,
0:41:40 > 0:41:43and it would've been great to have seen you go away with that jackpot.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46You do, of course get to take our Pointless trophy,
0:41:46 > 0:41:47so very well done for getting that.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49APPLAUSE
0:41:52 > 0:41:55Unlucky, Richard, unlucky, James. A tough final category.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58I think there's one other category there you might have done
0:41:58 > 0:42:00rather well on if you'd chosen it, unfortunately.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers for Tilda Swinton.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07A series of short films called Aria from 1987 was a pointless answer.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09She was with Bill Murray in Broken Flowers,
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Conceiving Ada...
0:42:12 > 0:42:15The Deep End, The Limits Of Control - the Jim Jarmusch movie -
0:42:15 > 0:42:18she was in The Statement with Michael Caine, that was pointless...
0:42:18 > 0:42:21The War Zone, with Ray Winston, Thumbsucker
0:42:21 > 0:42:25and Derek Jarman's War Requiem. She's in lots of the Derek Jarman films, all of which are pointless.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29Caravaggio was pointless, Edward II, The Garden, Last Of England
0:42:29 > 0:42:31and Wittgenstein - all of those were pointless answers.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Tough luck, guys.
0:42:33 > 0:42:34Did you know any of those?
0:42:34 > 0:42:37I knew Thumbsucker. A couple of others, yeah.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Broken Flowers.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Bad luck. Well, unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you,
0:42:42 > 0:42:44but it's been great having you on the show,
0:42:44 > 0:42:47thank you both so much for playing. Richard and James, everyone.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49APPLAUSE
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Well, Richard and James didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:52 > 0:42:55so it rolls over, which means on the next show
0:42:55 > 0:42:56we'll be playing for £17,000.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
