0:00:21 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Welcome to Pointless, the quiz show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39My name's David. And this is Mark, and we're both from Cardiff.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42- Couple number two. - My name's Karen, this is my husband Paul, and we've come from Oxford.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Couple number three.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47I'm Shaun, this is Rachel, and we both work together in a special needs school.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48And couple number four.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hello, mate. I'm Andy, this is Dave. Both from Canvey.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Welcome, all of you. These, ladies and gentlemen, are today's contestants.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57APPLAUSE
0:00:58 > 0:01:01We'll be finding out more about you all throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03There's only one person left to introduce.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06With a tell-tale smile of a man who's got away with not wearing trousers again today,
0:01:06 > 0:01:10- it's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.- It's true. It's true.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Hi, everyone, hi.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Ah, how are you?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- I'm very well.- I've only just got over the last show.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24- Ah.- The jackpot's still there, getting ever bigger. Only got one returning pair, Rachel and Shaun.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Who didn't stay too long last time, did they?- No.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30So the money's there and, as I say, we had it very, very nearly won last time.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Someone will win it at some point.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Could be one of the four pairs we've got in front of us right now.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37In fact, one of the teams is not a pair,
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- because Shaun, remember last time... - Yeah.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- We found out he's a ventriloquist. - He's quite a good ventriloquist.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- Yeah, but he's actually brought his dummy this time, I think.- Oh, he's brought the Real Shaun Jacques?
0:01:46 > 0:01:51- Correct.- Wow.- And I'm sure, during the first round, we'll get a look at him.- Oh, we've got to do that.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Must do that. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57All our questions on Pointless were put to 100 people before the show.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Our contestants here need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05Everyone, of course, is trying to find a pointless answer which none of our 100 people got.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08And each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Ray and Stevie didn't win the jackpot, as we heard, last time,
0:02:10 > 0:02:15so we add another £1,000 to that. So today's jackpot starts off at...
0:02:17 > 0:02:18AUDIENCE: Woo!
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Right. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33So in this round I'll be taking an answer from each of you, but there's no conferring.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36The highest-scoring pair at the end of the round will be eliminated,
0:02:36 > 0:02:37so try and make sure that's not you.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Our first category today is...
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Countries. Can you all decide in your pairs, who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54OK. Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:02:59 > 0:03:03..countries with a population greater than 50 million as they could.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Richard.- Yeah. We're looking for the name in English of any country with a population over 50 million.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12And that's as of July 2012 according to the CIA World Factbook website.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17So any country with a population over 50 million, other than the UK.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- Very best of luck.- Richard, what do you mean by "country"?
0:03:19 > 0:03:24By "country" I mean a sovereign state that is a member of the UN in its own right.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Thank you.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Thank you.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31- Now, then. Welcome, Mark. - Hiya.- Great to have you here. What do you do, Mark?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- I'm a dental technician. - That's not the same as a dentist.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35- No, it's not.- Aah.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40We actually make the crowns and bridgework for the dentists.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Aah. - And other appliances as dentures.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45So, what do you make them out of?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- People can choose, can they?- Yeah.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Precious metals. Porcelains.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Aah. What's the snazziest one you've made up?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56I have made a gold front tooth
0:03:56 > 0:03:58for a pop star.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- With a diamond in it? - With an emerald.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Classy. Oh, that's yours!
0:04:02 > 0:04:04AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Who would have an emerald in their teeth?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08I know. It'd look like a bit of spinach, permanently.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13OK. Listen, Mark. We're looking for countries with a population of more than 50 million people.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Right. I'm going to go for...
0:04:15 > 0:04:17..Bangladesh.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Bangladesh, says Mark. Bangladesh.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many people said Bangladesh.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Absolutely right.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Oh, very well done, Mark!
0:04:34 > 0:04:37What about that? That's how you start in Pointless.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41A pointless answer. It adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:04:41 > 0:04:44takes it up to £19,250,
0:04:44 > 0:04:45and it scores you nothing.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- An exemplary start. - Thank you.- Very well done.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Wow. Welcome to Pointless, Mark. Terrific work.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55Yeah. Bangladesh, it's about the same size as Iowa, but it's got 161 million inhabitants.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- Wow.- Yeah.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Busy.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Karen.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Karen, welcome. You're from Oxford.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03What do you do?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05I work for a company that writes software for banks,
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- so it's quite specialist and normally a bit... - Ah, encrypted software.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- Very much, yeah.- Ooh, exciting. - Very specialist.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Are you only allowed to know a tiny little bit of the whole thing
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- so you don't spill out any important information?- Yes.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18We see a lot of numbers going backwards and forwards,
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- a lot of foreign exchange trades. - What do you like getting up to when you're not doing that?
0:05:22 > 0:05:26My husband and I, we play softball for a team in Oxford called The Beavers,
0:05:26 > 0:05:28which we've been playing for about two years now.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- And, so that's...- How are The Beavers doing in the Oxford league?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- We're terrible. We always lose. - Really?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36We go to tournaments and we don't win a single game, but we do drink a lot of beer
0:05:36 > 0:05:41and have a really good time, so it's much more about the social aspect for us than any sporting prowess.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42Very good indeed.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Now, what are you going to say?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I'm trying to think of a country that I know the population of,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48so I have some point of reference...
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- Hmm.- And it's... - I tell you what. Bangladesh.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51ALL LAUGH
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- Doesn't help me too much, I'm afraid.- Not really.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58So I'm just going to go for one that I know has a high population and say Japan.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Japan, says Karen. Japan.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said Japan.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Absolutely right.
0:06:09 > 0:06:1134.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12APPLAUSE
0:06:15 > 0:06:20Well played, Karen. I think that's a very solid answer. 127 million people in Japan.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21There we are.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Now then. Rachel.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Welcome back to the show. Our only returning pair.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27How are you feeling on your return trip?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- A little nervous, I have to say. - Remind us what happened last time?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I picked the wrong famous Richard, I think.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Yes. Richard Burton, 77.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37You went for a Burton quite literally, there.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- Yes. - GROANS AND SCATTERED LAUGHTER
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Oh, groans.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44No, it's fine. It's nothing less than my due.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49Rachel, how are we feeling about countries with populations of over 50 million?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52I know a few countries with lots and lots of people in.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55I'm not sure which one to go for, but I'm going to take a bit of a risk.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56I'm going to go for Pakistan.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Pakistan, says Rachel.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 said it. Pakistan.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05It is right.
0:07:05 > 0:07:0834 our high score and 0 our low.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Ooh, very well done.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Just under halfway between.
0:07:15 > 0:07:1612 for Pakistan.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Another good answer. Well done, Rachel. Population of Pakistan? What do you reckon?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22It's going to be huge.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- It's more than 50 million, yeah. I'll give you that.- Definitely.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30It's going to be... 100 and... 160 million.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Aw. Count again.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- It's more?- 190 million.- 190 million?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- Mm.- There you go. Wow.- It's a lot.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38- That is a lot.- Yeah.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- Whoa. - It's millions, isn't it?- It is.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Yeah.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Very well done, Rachel. Great score.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Now then, Andy. Welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50From Canvey Island. What do you do, Andy?
0:07:50 > 0:07:54I run a small window company and cladding business.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Window and cladding?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Yeah.- Like glazing, or is it double-glazing, or...?- Yeah.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00- Double-glazing, yeah.- Very good.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Now, how did you and Dave meet?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05We actually met on the Milk about 21 plus years ago.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- You met "on the Milk?"- Yeah.- I... You have to tell me what that means.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- I'm sorry.- He was a milkman.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Oh, I see, right. Not on the teat. Sorry, but...
0:08:15 > 0:08:17ALL LAUGH
0:08:19 > 0:08:21It could have meant that.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23You met on the Milk.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25You weren't a milkman?
0:08:25 > 0:08:30Yeah. Yeah, I'd just left my previous employment and went on the Milk for a little while.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35So you went on the Milk and then you went on the Glass and the Clad after that.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Andy, what do you like to do in your spare time?
0:08:37 > 0:08:41I like playing a bit of football, fishing, supporting my lovely team, Tottenham Hotspur.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- Erm, that's probably it, really. - Very good indeed.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Now, how do you feel on geography? How are we feeling about this?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- So-so. I think I've got one, but I don't know. - What's it going to be, Andy?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I'm going to go for New Zealand.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58New Zealand. New Zealand. There's only one way to find out. Let's see. New Zealand.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Is it right? How many people said it?
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Ooh, no!
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Oh, Andy. Unfortunately an incorrect answer.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Which means, I'm afraid, they're under 50 million
0:09:11 > 0:09:13and you're on 100 points. I'm really sorry, Andy.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Sorry, Andy. There's actually less than 5 million people in New Zealand.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22If it was countries with a population of sheep greater than 50 million,
0:09:22 > 0:09:25it would have been a terrific answer.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Very good. Now, we're halfway through the round, so let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31The best score of the round was the first.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Mark, very, very good. Bangladesh. Lovely low score of nothing there.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Mark and David looking pretty strong at this stage.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Up to 12. Rachel and Shaun, very well done. 34, Karen and Paul.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44And, oh, bad luck, Andy and Dave.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49100 points. Dave, best of luck. You know what you have to try and do in the next pass.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Hope that's enough to keep you in the game. Good luck.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55We'll come back down the line now. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:09:57 > 0:10:01OK, so remember, we're looking for countries with a population of over 50 million.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Now then. Dave. Dave, what do you do?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05I'm a handyman.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07What's your favourite bit of handiness?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Painting, probably.- Painting.- Yeah.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12What's your least favourite thing? When someone says, "would you do this?"
0:10:12 > 0:10:14and you have to smile and say "yes, of course."
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- Roofing.- Ah.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- What, re-felting?- Yeah. - Oh dear, oh dear.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22What do you like getting up to in your spare time?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- Football and golf.- Very good.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26How long ago did you get off the Milk?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Probably about 12, 15...
0:10:28 > 0:10:30..15?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Don't look at me. Yeah, about 15. - About 15 years ago.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Very good. Now then.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- You are the high scorers by quite a margin there, Dave.- Yes.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41With 100. But who knows? There might be another incorrect answer
0:10:41 > 0:10:44and a really low score from you could see you through.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47I think I'll go...Thailand.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52Thailand, says Dave. There's no red line. Normally there is, but you're the high scorers, so there isn't.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Let's hope Thailand's right and it goes down as far as it possibly can.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Let's see how many people said it.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Ooh, it's right.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Ooh, it's a good answer. Look at that, Dave. Very well done indeed. 7. Perfect.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Our second-lowest score of the entire round so far.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Very well done. 107 your total.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Is it enough to see you through, I wonder?- Terrific answer. Well done.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Yeah. Population's 67 million.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18Very well done. Ooh, look!
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- Now, Shaun.- Yeah.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- And the Real Shaun Jacques. - DUMMY: Hello.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Hi, Shaun.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- That's properly good.- It's like he's talking, but he's not talking.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Yeah.- Who's talking?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Shaun Jacques, what do you like getting up to?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Erm... Many things.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Watching the Muppets, mainly.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42And, Shaun Jacques, do you...
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Sorry, smaller Shaun...
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- Well done wearing the same clothes. - Thank you. He copied me.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Oh, really?
0:11:49 > 0:11:51How many wardrobes do you have?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Everything I have, he has copied me.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Aah.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57Now then.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Shaun Jacques, how well-travelled are you?
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Erm... I go everywhere in a bag.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05ALL LAUGH
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- SHAUN: That bag's been quite a lot of places, hasn't it? - Yeah, but I don't see out of it.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- Don't think you'll be much help, will you?- No.
0:12:17 > 0:12:23Listen, Real Shaun Jacques and Shaun, just...if you don't confer for this, that'd be helpful.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I wouldn't talk to him if I didn't have to.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:12:28 > 0:12:32What are you going to go for? A country with a population of over 50 million.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35I think I'm going to play it a bit safe
0:12:35 > 0:12:37and say Brazil.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Brazil. Can you say Brazil,
0:12:40 > 0:12:42er, Real Shaun Jacques?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- Drazil.- Say it again?- Drazil.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- So, one more time?- D-r-a-zil.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- That's not bad, actually, is it? - No, not bad.- Not bad.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52What's wrong with it?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- Think he's going on the "B" thing. - Oh.- All right.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56No, very good indeed. Brazil, says Shaun. Brazil.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Now, the highest scorers, on 107, are Dave and Andy.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02You're on 12. If you can score 94 or less, you're through.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04That's what it looks like. There's your red line.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Let's see if Brazil's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11You are through.
0:13:14 > 0:13:1725. Very well done indeed.
0:13:17 > 0:13:1837 your total.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Well done, Shaun. Yeah. Nearly 200 million people in Brazil. I have to say, though,
0:13:25 > 0:13:29that the Real Shaun Jacques answer of "Drazil" would have been an incorrect answer.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- Would have scored 100 points. - I said D-r-a-zil-a.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Drazilla?
0:13:34 > 0:13:37D-r-a-zil.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- Drazil.- I'd give up.- Oh.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Thanks very much. Now then, Paul.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43- Welcome to the show.- Thank you.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45You are from Oxford. What do you do in Oxford?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48That's right. I'm studying a PhD in computer science.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Computer science? Where did you and Karen meet?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54We met at Loughborough University. We were both studying there.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- What were you studying there? - Computer science.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Would... I know, that sounds like an obvious question,
0:13:58 > 0:14:03but I've never met anybody who didn't study sport or something to do with sports at Loughborough.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- We're very few.- But your reason for being at Loughborough
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- was entirely academically based? - That's right, yeah.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I see. Very good. Well, you are the first person I've ever met
0:14:11 > 0:14:15with those credentials. Fantastic.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Now. How are you feeling about this?
0:14:17 > 0:14:21You are the last people to be in any danger of overtaking Dave and Andy.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Obviously, David and Mark, even if they get it wrong, won't overtake that score.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Do you think you can see yourselves through?
0:14:27 > 0:14:30It's a bit difficult to know how much risk to take on,
0:14:30 > 0:14:32so I think I'll go
0:14:32 > 0:14:35for a similar part of the world to the last answer, and go for Mexico.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Mexico.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Mexico, says Paul. Here's your red line.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42If you get below this, you are through to the next round.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Mexico, says Paul. Let's see if that's right.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Let's see how many people said it if it is.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Very well done. You are in Round Two.
0:14:54 > 0:14:5610 for Mexico.
0:14:58 > 0:14:5944 your total.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Well played, Paul. I think everyone's negotiated this round very well.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08- Haven't they? - It's been very impressive. About 114 million people in Mexico.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Now then. David.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12You've waited all this time so patiently,
0:15:12 > 0:15:14and here we are. We finally get to you.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17You are through to the next round whatever happens,
0:15:17 > 0:15:20thanks to Mark's excellent score of 0.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23How are we feeling about countries with populations over 50?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Mark did so well. Wouldn't it be brilliant if you could do as well as Mark
0:15:26 > 0:15:29and add another £250 to the jackpot?
0:15:30 > 0:15:34Got Japan, Canada and USA.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35I'll go for Canada.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39- Canada.- Canada.- Canada, says David. Canada. No red line for you.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42You're already through. Let's see how many people said Canada.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45Ooh!
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Ooh. Ooh, maybe it's just big in terms of land rather than population.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Anyway, an incorrect answer scores you 100 points.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Doesn't matter though, cos you're through to the next round anyway.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Yeah. Second-largest country in the world in terms of land,
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- but only 34 million people live in Canada.- Oh.- Yeah.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02Very spaced out over there.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04There were a couple more pointless answers.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09We've had one already. There's three in all. Let's take a look at them.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13There's Bangladesh, Burma and Ethiopia. Both of those would have been pointless.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Very well done if you said that. I'll tell you a couple of the smaller scorers as well.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Iran and The Democratic Republic of Congo
0:16:18 > 0:16:21both would have scored one point. Would have been terrific answers.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24The Philippines, two. Egypt and Vietnam would have scored three.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29Vietnam would have been a very good answer. Turkey, four. Indonesia, five. Nigeria, six.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Let's look at the top three answers now, the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37India's got over a billion people. 57 points.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41China. It's got the most of all. 1.3 billion. Would have scored 88.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46And 313 million for the United States of America. 89 points.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51So, at the end of our first round, our losing pair, with a high score of 107 points,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54I'm afraid it's Dave and Andy.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Dave. You were only 7 points ahead, though.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- I know.- Oh. Our low scorers came almost to catch you up, there.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Real shame to be saying goodbye to you so soon,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04but we'll see you again next time. We'll look forward to that.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Thanks so much for playing. Dave and Andy.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08APPLAUSE
0:17:09 > 0:17:12But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21Now, sadly, at the end of this round we'll be saying goodbye to another pair.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Wonder which it's going to be?
0:17:23 > 0:17:27David and Mark. The lowest score of the round and the joint highest score of the round there, David.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Ooh, very... See, everyone else had nice low scores.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33You had one very high score.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35You have one more round before you're allowed to confer.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39You have to make sure you get through this next round. Very, very best of luck with that.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41OK. Our category for Round Two is...
0:17:44 > 0:17:49Ancient History. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57OK. And the question concerns...
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Figures of the Roman Empire. Richard.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05OK. On each pass we're going to show you six clues to famous figures from the Roman Empire
0:18:05 > 0:18:07or connected to the Roman Empire.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Give us a nice, obscure answer, you score fewer points.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12An incorrect answer will score you 100 points.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- There's going to be 12 figures from the Roman Empire to guess at home. Good luck.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19So we are looking for the Roman Empire figures described by these clues.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21And here is our first board of six.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I'll read those all one last time.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00There we are. Six clues to leading figures of the Roman Empire.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01Now then, Mark.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05I'm going to go for the third answer,
0:19:05 > 0:19:09"he crossed the Alps with his army supported by elephants."
0:19:09 > 0:19:12And I'm going to say Hannibal.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Hannibal, says Mark. Let's see if Hannibal's right. Let's see how many people said Hannibal.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Absolutely right.
0:19:22 > 0:19:2449.
0:19:26 > 0:19:2849.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Yeah. One of the greatest military commanders in history, he's often regarded as, Hannibal.
0:19:32 > 0:19:3449 points. Also good in the A-Team, wasn't he?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Brilliant. Really good.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38Karen. There we are.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Five options left on the board.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42And I still only know one of them.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45But I'm glad I know one. It could be a lot worse.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50So I'm going to say the Emperor who fiddled while Rome burned was Nero.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Nero fiddled while Rome burnt, apparently.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Absolutely right. 49 our best and worst score so far.
0:20:01 > 0:20:0255.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Yeah. That was in 64 AD.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- When they said, actually, the fiddle had yet to be invented. - There we are.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Now then. Rachel.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17You are the last person to have this board, in fact.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19The one I'd like to have gone for is gone.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21And I don't know all of them.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25This might force you into finding something you know at the back of your mind.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28It's forcing me into possibly dragging something out of my mind,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31and I think Homer wrote the Aeneid.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Homer, you are saying. Homer, for the Aeneid.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said Homer.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Ooh, bad luck. I'm afraid an incorrect answer.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Homer did not write the Aeneid. That scores you 100 points.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Sorry, Rachel. He wrote the Iliad,
0:20:48 > 0:20:50- which is similarly titled. - I was hoping he wrote two.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52He did. He wrote the Odyssey as well.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56He did write more than one thing, but neither of them were this one, I'm afraid.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00It was Virgil, actually. Would have scored you nine points.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Course, Homer went on to appear in The Simpsons and Virgil went on to appear in Thunderbirds.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07That's how I remember that.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Derek Jacobi played...
0:21:10 > 0:21:11- Claudius.- Claudius.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Absolutely right, in I, Claudius. Would have scored you 25 points.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- Promised to appoint his horse to the senate?- Caligula.- Caligula.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Absolutely right. Would have scored 20 points.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22And 30-metre statue?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Trajan?- Trajan is absolutely right.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29It's the best answer on the board as well. Six points. Very well done if you said that.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- Well done. You been there? - Honeymoon, yeah.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33Ah, of course.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Our honeymoon. We went...
0:21:35 > 0:21:36ALL LAUGH
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- That was lovely, wasn't it?- Aww.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- The weather, weather not so great. - Yes. My only wish would be that it had been a bit warmer.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- But the hotel.- Aah!
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Just...they could not do enough for you.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50- They were lovely, weren't they? - They were. They really were. - Terrific.- Absolutely terrific.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54Thank you very much, Richard. We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores as they stand.
0:21:54 > 0:21:5649 the best score of that pass.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Mark and David, very, very well done. Who'd have thought that would be the best score?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Looked like quite a high one to start with. But you've done it again, Mark.
0:22:03 > 0:22:08Karen and Paul on 55 and then Rachel and Shaun on 100.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11It might well not be the last 100 we see in this round.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13So, Shaun, as long as you answer carefully in the next pass,
0:22:13 > 0:22:14everything should be fine.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19We'll come back down the line now. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:21 > 0:22:25OK. We're going to put six more clues on the board. And here they come. We have got...
0:22:46 > 0:22:47I'll read that again.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10There we are. Now, remember we are looking for these figures from the Roman Empire.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Now then, Shaun. You're the high scorers on 100.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16We need a really good, low score from you. What do you make of the board?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- No. Don't like that at all. - No, really?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21No. I didn't know anyone... I knew one on the first board,
0:23:21 > 0:23:23and I think I know one on this one,
0:23:23 > 0:23:27but I've got to go for something that's a bit more obscure.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31I have no idea.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34History's not a good thing at all for me.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38I'm torn between two, one which will be very well-known,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41and one that I don't even know is actually an answer.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44I'm going to have to go with one I know is right, and go for
0:23:44 > 0:23:47"emperor who gave his name to a line of fortifications."
0:23:47 > 0:23:48That's Hadrian.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Hadrian, says Shaun. Hadrian. There's no red line for you, as you're the high scorers,
0:23:52 > 0:23:55but let's see how many people said Hadrian.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58It's right.
0:24:00 > 0:24:0256.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05156...
0:24:05 > 0:24:07..your total.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09DUMMY: That's a pretty big score.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11LAUGHTER
0:24:11 > 0:24:13DUMMY: Oh, Shaun.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Shaun, how does that feel?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- That's like an out-of-body experience.- Yeah.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20A little bit jealous, maybe?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- This is really hard. - It's really hard.- Really difficult.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24- Yeah.- This is really difficult.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27DUMMY: I know. I do it all the time.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Not bad, first crack at it.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33I mean, obviously I can see your mouth moving a lot.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35And it's quite hard to understand what you're saying.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37But it's...
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- Do you want to have a go?- No.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41ALL LAUGH
0:24:41 > 0:24:42DUMMY: Bye!
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Aww. Bye-bye, Real Shaun Jacques.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Bye!
0:24:47 > 0:24:48It's not bad.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Anyway. There we are. Now then, Paul.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52Paul. Ancient History?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- Not so good, I'm afraid.- Oh, right.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Well, I have great news. The good news is,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59by one point you are through to the head-to-head whatever happens.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Even if you score 100. So that takes a bit of pressure off.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04I think we may have dodged a bullet there.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06What are you going to go for?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09I really don't have a clue for any of them.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14So I'm going to guess "emperor who built a palace in Split, Croatia,"
0:25:14 > 0:25:16is Caesar.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17Caesar. Caesar is...
0:25:17 > 0:25:22That's a bit like saying, "the emperor I'm going to pick is Emperor."
0:25:22 > 0:25:23- That's right. Yeah.- OK.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26There are...do you want to pick a Caesar?
0:25:26 > 0:25:27OK. I'll go for Julius Caesar.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29OK. Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar, says Paul.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Julius Caesar.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Nope.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Bad luck. An incorrect answer.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 155,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43but you are still through to the head-to-head.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Sorry Paul, yeah. But through by one point, which is pretty good.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- I'll give the correct answer at the end of the pass.- David.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Obviously, you are also through to the head-to-head.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53What do you make of this board? Can you fill in any of the gaps?
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Can't fill any gaps in it at all, sorry.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Really struggling.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02Erm, "summarised his Asia Minor campaign" is Canigula?
0:26:02 > 0:26:07OK. Dave is going to say Canigula for "summarised his Asian campaign 'veni, vidi, vici.'"
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Let's see if that's right. No red line. You're already through. Let's see if Canigula is right.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Ooh! No surprise there, David.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Anyway. That's an incorrect answer. Scores you 100 points. Takes your total up to 149.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22But it's academic. You're through to the next round anyway.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23Very well done. Richard.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28- Sorry, David. That must be just about the highest-scoring second round we've ever had.- I know.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- Wow. That was...- Some of these are... - That's really quite something.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35- Some of these...- David, all you needed to do was nick Paul's answer.
0:26:35 > 0:26:40- Julius Caesar.- Oh, I see.- It was his Asia Minor campaign. Could have had that. Would have scored you 28.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- Yeah.- You know the name of the gladiator as well.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45- That was...- Spartacus. - "I am Spartacus."
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Absolutely right. Would have scored 24.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- The poet?- The satirist was Juvenal.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Juvenal. Absolutely right. Would have scored you three.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- The orator?- That I would... I'm going to guess Cicero.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Cicero is right. That would have scored you seven.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02And the best answer up there is "the emperor who built a palace in Split, Croatia."
0:27:02 > 0:27:07- I don't know that one. - It's the best answer here. One point to anyone who said Diocletian.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Very well done if you said that. Very well done to the one of our 100 people who said that too.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Good stuff. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15So, at the end of Round Two, our losing pair with the high score of 156,
0:27:15 > 0:27:17it's Shaun and Rachel.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Lovely to have you back. I really hoped you'd be through to the head-to-head and beyond this time.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24And thank you, Real Shaun Jacques, for bringing Shaun along this time.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- DUMMY: Oh, thank you. - No, it's been great to have you.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28It's been a pleasure.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Anyway, Real Shaun Jacques, Shaun, Rachel, lovely contestants.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33Thanks so much for playing. Brilliant.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38But for the two remaining pairs they're about to get one step closer to the final now
0:27:38 > 0:27:41and a chance to take home the jackpot, as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:47 > 0:27:52Congratulations, Karen and Paul, David and Mark. You are now only one round away from the final
0:27:52 > 0:27:57and a chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £19,250.
0:27:57 > 0:28:02AUDIENCE: Woo!
0:28:02 > 0:28:03Now, only one pair can play for that money,
0:28:03 > 0:28:07so we have to decide which pair it's going to be. We'll do that by going head-to-head.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10This time you are now allowed to confer.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13And the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15So, how are you feeling, Karen and Paul?
0:28:15 > 0:28:19- I'm amazed that we're here, actually.- It was a very tricky second round that, wasn't it?
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Those first two questions, I don't think either of us were even remotely confident about.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27So we're just hoping that this question's going to be something that we know something about,
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- and we can give a confident answer. - Well, let's hope so.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34It makes a big difference being able to confer. David, obviously, we've had two 100s from you.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- Yes.- So, yes, good to have Mark on board at this stage.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40- I've got to get down to low answers. - Yeah.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43OK. Well, listen, best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:49 > 0:28:50Here comes your first question.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52And it concerns...
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Famous Stans, Richard.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Yeah, we're going to show you photos now of five famous people from Tajikistan
0:29:00 > 0:29:02or Kazakhstan... Not really.
0:29:02 > 0:29:03We're now...
0:29:03 > 0:29:05ALL LAUGH
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Oh, dear.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Worth it, though, for the look on your face.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13We're going to show you five pictures now of celebrities called Stan.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Can you tell us the most obscure, please?
0:29:15 > 0:29:21Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five Stans. And here they come. We have got...
0:29:38 > 0:29:39There we are.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Five Stans.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Karen and Paul, you've played best throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48- A?- B is Stan Laurel.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51I think C is Stanley Matthews, the football player.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55Oh. I recognise D as well. He was in Devil Wears Prada.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57- Do you know his name?- I don't know.
0:29:57 > 0:29:58We think we know A and B,
0:29:58 > 0:30:01and possibly C.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05I think we're going to try A and say Stan Lee.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Stan Lee, say Karen and Paul. Stan Lee for A.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Now then. David and Mark.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13The rest of the Stans are yours. Talk us through them.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16- Well, B is Stan Laurel.- Stan Laurel. - Stan Laurel.- Stan Laurel.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- C is Stanley Matthews. - Stanley Matthews.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23Don't know D. And E, Stanley Baldwin?
0:30:23 > 0:30:27- I think we'll probably go for C. - Stanley Matthews.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- We love football. - Yes. Stanley Matthews.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Stanley Matthews, C, say David and Mark. Stanley Matthews.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37So we have Stan Lee and we have Stanley Matthews.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39In the order they were given, Karen and Paul said Stan Lee.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43Let's see if that's right. If it is, let's see how many people said Stan Lee.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Absolutely right.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54Ooh, it's a great answer. 10. Very well done indeed for Stan Lee.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01David and Mark have gone for Stanley Matthews, C. There he is.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05Stanley Matthews. Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.
0:31:07 > 0:31:08It's right.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12The question is, is it going to beat 10, which is lovely and low?
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Down it... Ooh, no. 19 for Stanley Matthews.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21Which means, Karen and Paul, after one question you're up 1-0.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Well played, Karen and Paul. It's a good answer.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27The comic book writer, producer, editor, all sorts of things, Stan Lee.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Co-created Spiderman, X-Men,
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Thor, all sorts of characters.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35B, you're right, guys, was Stan Laurel,
0:31:35 > 0:31:37but would have scored you 69 points.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40D. I think lots of people recognise him.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Actor and all sorts of things. Stanley Tucci.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Would have scored you three points. It's the best answer up there.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48And E. David, you were right about that. It is Stanley Baldwin.
0:31:48 > 0:31:53But wouldn't have won you the point, because it would have got you 30 points.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Thanks very much indeed.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57OK. Here comes your second question.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01David and Mark, this is the one you have to win to stay in the game. It concerns...
0:32:03 > 0:32:07- Richard.- Yeah. We're going to show you five anagrams now of common birds from around the world.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Can you unscramble them and pick the most obscure?
0:32:10 > 0:32:12OK, so let's reveal our five birds.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15And here they are. We have got...
0:32:22 > 0:32:25I'll read those all again a second time.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32There we are. Five anagrams of birds.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34David and Mark, you go first this time.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38What do you reckon, Mark? Anagrams.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Yeah. I know one.
0:32:40 > 0:32:41Which one?
0:32:41 > 0:32:44The fourth or the third one down.
0:32:44 > 0:32:45Oh, yeah.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47- What do you reckon?- Right. Yes.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51The third one down, Alexander. Mallard.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Mallard, say David and Mark.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Now, Karen and Paul.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59Talk us through the rest of the board if you can.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01We definitely know the fourth one down, or we think we do.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04We think that's blue jay.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06- I'm struggling on any more.- Yeah.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10I think we'll just have to go for blue jay, won't we?
0:33:10 > 0:33:12- Sorry. Yeah. - We're going to go for blue jay.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15OK, you're going to go for blue jay. So we have mallard, we have blue jay.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16David and Mark said mallard.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 said mallard.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Well, it's absolutely right.
0:33:26 > 0:33:2742.
0:33:32 > 0:33:3442 for mallard.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Karen and Paul have said blue jay for "jab yule."
0:33:37 > 0:33:41"Jab yule," blue jay. Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said that.
0:33:41 > 0:33:47If you win this, you go through to the final and play for £19,250.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50It's absolutely right.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Is it going to beat 42? Looks like it might.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Yes, it will. Very well done indeed. 20 for blue jay.
0:34:00 > 0:34:05Very well done. Karen and Paul, after only two questions, you are through to the final 2-0.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Unlucky, David and Mark.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Let's take a look at the rest of the answers.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Two of them would have won it for you. Not "elk rest," which is kestrel.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15That would have scored you 34.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Now, these other two are both low scorers.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21One of them is a very common bird, and that's "warhorse soup."
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Which is house sparrow.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Would have scored you five points,
0:34:25 > 0:34:26but a very tough anagram to work out.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30and "gland risen" is a bird you find in the High Arctic seas.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32It's a terrific answer if you got it.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34One point for sanderling.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Sanderling or Sah-nderling.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Very well played if you got that.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39Thanks very much indeed.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43So, our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid it's David and Mark.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47- Never mind.- Ooh, Mark. We were hoping a little bit of Marky Magic might come out there.- Yeah.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49- You know.- You've given us a pointless answer today.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52We've really enjoyed ourselves. It's been a great day.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56Don't sound too valedictory yet, cos we're going to see again next time.
0:34:56 > 0:34:57We'll look forward to that.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00But meantime, David and Mark, thanks very much for playing.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02APPLAUSE
0:35:04 > 0:35:06But for Karen and Paul it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08AUDIENCE: Woo!
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Congratulations, Karen and Paul. You've seen off all the competition
0:35:14 > 0:35:16and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:24 > 0:35:28and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £19,250.
0:35:28 > 0:35:29AUDIENCE: Woo!
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Well, you've done it.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36It wasn't pretty all the time, was it?
0:35:36 > 0:35:41But here you are. You've ended up where you needed to, in the final.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42Very, very good indeed.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46We've had one answer from you. We had Caesar from you in Round Two, Paul.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48- It was a very tough round, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52I think we were really lucky in that one. I only knew one answer on either board, and...
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Yes, you didn't do brilliantly, but everyone did worse.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Everyone else did worse. Which is fine. In Pointless, that's good enough.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01What would you like to see come up in this final round?
0:36:01 > 0:36:03I'm guessing softball.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06- Softball, yes.- Or beavers. - Yes. Beavers would be amazing.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08- I think science and technology. - Maybe Disney, for me.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10- OK.- Formula One for you, I think.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14- Led Zeppelin. There's quite a range. - Quite a few things.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16- Specific things.- Specialist topics.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18OK. Best of luck. The rules are very simple.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Do that and you will leave here with £19,250.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28First you have to choose a category. Here are your five options. They are...
0:36:35 > 0:36:36Well, that's none of the ones that we said.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Didn't you say all those things? Sorry.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44I think we're really struggling with this one.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47- I can't think of anything that stands out.- No.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49None of them.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52I would rule out immediately Irish Dramatists.
0:36:52 > 0:36:53Yeah, I think Irish Dramatists is out.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57- So is World Politics. - That can go too. Ice Hockey, I don't think we've ever watched.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59- You've watched one game?- I've maybe seen one game in my life.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01- And if it's about that game...- Yeah.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05Which is unlikely. So it's Authors or Classical Music really, isn't it?
0:37:05 > 0:37:09I think Authors. I think that's the only one I'm going to have a stab at.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13- I'm probably slightly better on Classical Music.- OK.- But I'm not good on either, so...
0:37:13 > 0:37:17- What do you reckon?- Do you?- I think we're more likely to be able to get something lower on authors.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21- I don't think we know enough Classical Music to have a pointless answer. Do you?- OK.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22- Yeah. OK.- OK.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26We'll continue muddling our way through and hope for the best with Authors.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Very best of luck. OK. Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:37:33 > 0:37:39novels by Jo Nesbo, Stieg Larsson and Henning Mankell as they could.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41- Richard.- Yeah. Three wonderful Scandinavian crime writers.
0:37:41 > 0:37:46We're looking for the name of any novel published by any of those three up to October 2012, please.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Just looking for the novels translated into English.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51We're looking for the English names of those novels, please.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54So any novel written by Stieg Larsson, Henning Mankell or Jo Nesbo.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Very, very best of luck.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00Thanks very much indeed, Richard. OK. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:38:00 > 0:38:03and all you need to win that £19,250
0:38:03 > 0:38:06is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:38:06 > 0:38:07- Are you ready?- BOTH: Yeah.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10OK. Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:38:10 > 0:38:11There they are. Your time starts now.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- Well, I've not heard of them. - Nor me.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17And I don't know any of their books, so I think we'll just have to make up some book names.
0:38:17 > 0:38:22- OK.- So... Shall we go...- No idea. - If they're crime writers, it's going to be about death and mystery...
0:38:22 > 0:38:27- Sure.- ..and things, isn't it, so Murder Somewhere, or some murder...
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- ..most foul? - BOTH LAUGH
0:38:29 > 0:38:34How about, we can go with, like,
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- Murder One?- Sounds good.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Erm, help me out.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42They're from Scandinavia, so...
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- Forests.- Forests and snow.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47OK. Yeah. Forests And Snow.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50And, erm...
0:38:50 > 0:38:54Wilderness Something. Maybe Wilderness. Just Wilderness.
0:38:54 > 0:38:55Wilderness. That sounds good.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57I can't remember what we just said we had.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01- Murder One.- So, Murder One, and...
0:39:01 > 0:39:02Ten seconds left.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04- Wilderness.- OK.
0:39:04 > 0:39:05- Yup.- We've made up our minds.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08OK. You have come up with three book titles.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11There we are. Your time is now up.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13What are those three book titles?
0:39:13 > 0:39:16- Wilderness.- Wilderness.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19- Forests And Snow?- Forests And Snow.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22- And Murder One.- And Murder One.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24- Of those three... - ALL LAUGH
0:39:24 > 0:39:27..which do you think is your best... I'll tell you which one I'd go for.
0:39:27 > 0:39:28Forests And Snow, don't you think?
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Now, which one would you like to put last
0:39:30 > 0:39:33as your least likely to be wrong?
0:39:33 > 0:39:37- Let's say Wilderness. - Wilderness.- Wilderness. We'll put that one last. OK.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41- Yes. And which shall we put first? - Shall we do Forests And Snow? - Forests And Snow.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43OK. And Murder One in the middle. There we go.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47OK. Let's pop those up on the board in that order. And here they come.
0:39:47 > 0:39:48We have got Forests And Snow,
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Murder One and Wilderness.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55OK, we're looking for any novel by Jo Nesbo, Stieg Larsson or Henning Mankell.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59Forests And Snow, you said, was your least likely to be pointless.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01- Yeah.- Your least-confident answer.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05So, Forests And Snow. Is it right? How many people said it...
0:40:05 > 0:40:07..if it is?
0:40:07 > 0:40:12No. Forests And Snow, unsurprisingly not a pointless answer.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15Now, let's hope nobody said your next answer, Murder One.
0:40:15 > 0:40:16Let's see if it's right, first.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19And if it is, let's see if it's pointless.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23Ooh, bad luck. Murder One.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27So everything is now resting on your third and final answer, Wilderness.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Now, we just have to see if this is right.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33We're looking for any novel, remember, by Jo Nesbo, Stieg Larsson or Henning Mankell.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Your third and final answer, Wilderness, was your most confident.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40- You thought it sounded most like a novel, I guess.- BOTH: Yeah. - Which is good enough.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44- They'll probably write it next. - They're probably writing it now. - Yeah.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47By the time this goes to air, it'll be on the shelves.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51So, to win that jackpot of £19,250, this has to be pointless.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55Let's see if it's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said Wilderness.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Ooh, bad luck!
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Bad luck.
0:40:59 > 0:41:00APPLAUSE
0:41:00 > 0:41:05Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find any correct answers,
0:41:05 > 0:41:07let alone any pointless answers.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10So I'm afraid that means you don't win today's jackpot of £19,250,
0:41:10 > 0:41:15which rolls over onto the next show to be our joint highest-ever jackpot total.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17You have been fantastic contestants,
0:41:17 > 0:41:21and you do, of course, get to take home our Pointless trophy. So very, very well done, Karen and Paul.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23APPLAUSE
0:41:27 > 0:41:32Sorry, Karen and Paul. They're three of the biggest-selling authors in the world last year,
0:41:32 > 0:41:35but if you haven't read them, you haven't read them. Stieg Larsson's books scored most.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets' Nest, all those.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Jo Nesbo, every single one of his crime novels scored points.
0:41:41 > 0:41:46So if you said any of them - The Snowman, The Leopard, any of those - they all scored points.
0:41:46 > 0:41:47Let's look at the pointless answers here.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Almost all Henning Mankell, apart from a couple.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52A Bridge To The Stars and Daniel, both Mankell.
0:41:52 > 0:41:58Jo Nesbo, before he wrote those genuinely horrific books,
0:41:58 > 0:42:00wrote a series of children's books,
0:42:00 > 0:42:02one of which was Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder.
0:42:02 > 0:42:03ALL LAUGH
0:42:03 > 0:42:05That's a loose translation.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07And of course the follow-up, Doctor Proctor's...
0:42:07 > 0:42:09ALL LAUGH
0:42:09 > 0:42:13Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder: Bubble In The Bathtub.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17Also pointless, Italian Shoes and Kennedy's Brain, both Henning Mankell.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19As are these three. The Cat Who Liked Rain,
0:42:19 > 0:42:22The Eye Of The Leopard, and The Journey To The End Of The World.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24- Very well done if you got any of those at home.- There we are.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27Thanks very much. We do have to say goodbye to you, Karen and Paul,
0:42:27 > 0:42:31but it's been great having you on the show. Thank you both for playing. Karen and Paul.
0:42:31 > 0:42:32APPLAUSE
0:42:34 > 0:42:38Who, sadly, didn't win our jackpot today, so it rolls over onto the next show,
0:42:38 > 0:42:41when we will be playing for £20,250.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43AUDIENCE: Woo!
0:42:43 > 0:42:47It's our joint-highest Pointless jackpot ever. Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
