0:00:22 > 0:00:27Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless, putting obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:37- And couple number one... - I am Sean, this is Mike. We're friends from Sussex Uni.
0:00:37 > 0:00:42- Couple number two? - I'm Joanne, this is Marina. We're dog walking friends.
0:00:42 > 0:00:47- Couple number three? - I'm Daniella, this is Briony. We're flatmates from London.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52- And couple number four? - I'm Sarah and this is my daughter, Lottie. We're from Canterbury.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55And these are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Thanks. We'll find out more about you.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08There's only one person left to introduce. His new fragrance, Obscurity for Men, is out
0:01:08 > 0:01:13- massively outselling my scent, Desperation. It's my Pointless friend, Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Hi, everybody.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- Afternoon.- Good afternoon to you. - Only one returning pair.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Mike and Sean were quite unlucky. I think they're quite bright.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- And we welcome six new players, all female. Nice.- That is nice.
0:01:29 > 0:01:36- Six newcomers, all ladies. - Very good.- Mike and Sean, the classy thing would be to throw this,
0:01:36 > 0:01:40but you play it however you want. That would be a nice thing to do.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45- That's a really good excuse for them.- Depends if we're gentlemen.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Well, we'll discover.
0:01:47 > 0:01:54Thanks very much, Richard. All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:01:54 > 0:02:00Our contestants need to find the obscure answers they didn't get. Everyone wants a pointless answer
0:02:00 > 0:02:04and each time that happens we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:04 > 0:02:11Alan and Donna didn't win it last time, so we add another £1,000 and today start off with £2,000.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17OK, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26I'll take an answer from each of you, but there's no conferring.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29The pair with the highest score will be eliminated.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34Our first category today is... Shakespeare.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39Shakespeare. Can you all decide who's going first and who's second?
0:02:39 > 0:02:43And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48OK, let's find out the question.
0:02:48 > 0:02:56We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Shakespeare tragedy and history plays as they could.
0:02:56 > 0:03:03- Richard?- Any play listed as a tragedy or history in Shakespeare's First Folio.
0:03:03 > 0:03:09Any tragedy or history. Where a play is in more than one part, we need the part name as well.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Any Shakespearean history or tragedy. Very best of luck.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18Thank you. OK, welcome back, Mike. Good to have you back. What happened last time?
0:03:18 > 0:03:24Em, we went out on Round Two. We had UK politics.
0:03:24 > 0:03:31Prime Ministers that served longer than five years. I went with Tony Blair. Should have taken a punt.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Well, it was a high score. It was a high score.
0:03:34 > 0:03:4075 for Tony Blair. Whereas Sean came in fantastically low with Lord Palmerston.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44So then, Mike, put that behind us.
0:03:44 > 0:03:50- Remind us what you do. - I'm a student at Sussex University studying Computer Science.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- So, Shakespeare - how good is your knowledge?- It's not great!
0:03:54 > 0:04:00- Tragedy and history plays. - Em, yeah, I think going first may be a slight advantage here.
0:04:00 > 0:04:06- If the obvious ones go, I'm a bit knackered, I think!- OK.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11I'm going to go with... Richard III.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16Richard III says Mike. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Absolutely right.
0:04:23 > 0:04:2522.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- 22 for Richard III. 22, Richard.- Good start.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37- Written around about 1592. - Now then, Joanne.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42- Welcome to Pointless. You're dog walking pals.- We are, yes.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47- What's your dog? - I have two Lurchers. One's called Archie, one's Sadie.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52Very good. And what do you like to get up to when not walking dogs?
0:04:52 > 0:04:59I'm involved with my son's rugby club. So I spend some time helping with the running of that.
0:04:59 > 0:05:05- What are you in charge of for that? - The fixtures.- Very important. - Without knowing a thing about rugby!
0:05:05 > 0:05:11- How long's he been playing for? - Just a year.- You'll pick it up. It'll be fine.
0:05:11 > 0:05:18- Now Shakespeare tragedies and histories.- I can think of one that was performed locally.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23- I'm just hoping it's a tragedy. Measure For Measure. - How did it go down locally?
0:05:23 > 0:05:27I was trying to remember if people were laughing or crying!
0:05:27 > 0:05:32Measure For Measure. Measure For Measure says Joanne.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:05:38 > 0:05:45Oh, bad luck! It might have been a tragedy when you saw it, but that's not how he wrote it.
0:05:45 > 0:05:52- That's an incorrect answer and scores you 100 points. - Quite a way to deliver a bad review!
0:05:52 > 0:05:55It's a comedy, Measure For Measure.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00Yeah. Now then, Briony, welcome to Pointless.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- What do you do?- I'm a medical student at UCL.- What year?
0:06:04 > 0:06:09- I'm in 5th year now. Almost done. - One more year to go.- Yes.- Very good.
0:06:09 > 0:06:16- Do you know what medicine you will specialise in?- I don't know yet. I'm thinking maybe GP.- Maybe GP.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Nice and general, good. What do you like getting up to?
0:06:20 > 0:06:24I like baking. I'm not very good at it, but I do like to bake.
0:06:24 > 0:06:30- Also I like McFly a lot. - I love a bit of McFly, as you know. I often talk about McFly.
0:06:30 > 0:06:37- Yeah. I like McFly. You've introduced me to McFly.- Good. - And Harry Judd's been on this show.
0:06:37 > 0:06:43He stood on that very podium with his mum, so there you are. Now then, Briony,
0:06:43 > 0:06:46tragedy or history plays of Shakespeare. How do we feel?
0:06:46 > 0:06:52Not great, but I think I know a Shakespeare play. I'm not sure if it's a tragedy or history
0:06:52 > 0:06:58or how to pronounce it, but I'll give it a go. Coriolanus?
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Coriolanus. Or "Cor-aye-o-lanus" as I've heard somebody call it.
0:07:02 > 0:07:08Let's see if that's right and how many said Coriolanus.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Absolutely right.
0:07:11 > 0:07:1322's our best score so far.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18You've cleared that very easily. Two! Wonderful answer.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Coriolanus.
0:07:23 > 0:07:29Good score, Briony. Ralph Fiennes directed a film of it in 2011 and played Coriolanus.
0:07:29 > 0:07:35Absolutely. Now., Sarah, welcome to Pointless. Lovely to have you here. What do you do, Sarah?
0:07:35 > 0:07:40- I'm a bookshop manager for antiquarian books.- That's fun! How long have you done that?
0:07:40 > 0:07:47- About three years now.- Wow. So you have lots of rare first editions.- Absolutely.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52- Any Shakespeare folios there? - Yeah, which is why I should know more than I can think of!
0:07:52 > 0:07:59- What's the most expensive book you've ever sold?- Personally, I think a Jules Verne first edition.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04- I sold it for £15,000. - Wow. That's a big book token you need for that!
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- Yeah!- Fantastic. Very exciting indeed.
0:08:08 > 0:08:14- Now Shakespeare tragedy or history plays.- I think I'm going to play reasonably safe.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16It might be quite high, but Othello.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21Othello, says Sarah. Is that right? How many people said Othello?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26It's right.
0:08:29 > 0:08:3130.
0:08:31 > 0:08:3430 for Othello.
0:08:35 > 0:08:41Good, solid start. Patrick Stewart always wanted to play Othello. It's usually a black actor.
0:08:41 > 0:08:48A New York director did an entire black production of Othello with Patrick Stewart in the middle.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- That's good.- Quite clever. - Very good. Thanks.
0:08:51 > 0:08:58We're halfway through. Two is the best score of that pass by a margin, Briony. Very well done.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Coriolanus. Brilliant answer. Then up to 22 for Mike and Sean,
0:09:02 > 0:09:0730 for Sarah and Lottie and then I'm so sorry - Measure For Measure.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- Where was this production, Joanne? - I don't want to say!
0:09:14 > 0:09:21Well, Joanne and Marina, you're on 100. It may not be the last 100 of the round.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26But if that's the case, Marina, we need a low score from you.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:09:31 > 0:09:36We're looking for any of Shakespeare's tragedy or history plays. Lottie...
0:09:36 > 0:09:40There you are on 30. You want to score as few as you can.
0:09:40 > 0:09:47- Before we do that, what do you do? - I'm an admin assistant at a graphic designer's.
0:09:47 > 0:09:54- What sort of things do you design? - I don't design, but it's a greetings card company. I type the verses.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59- Oh, that's fun! Do you make them up? - Sometimes, but they don't usually get used!- Really?
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Oh, that's got to be fun, making up those verses.
0:10:03 > 0:10:09- Have you made one up for a Pointless card?- I haven't yet.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- I can give you a couple of minutes. - LAUGHTER
0:10:12 > 0:10:17The high scorers are Marina and Joanne on 100. You are on 30.
0:10:17 > 0:10:2169 or less will see you through to the next round for sure.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26It's not my strongest subject. I have two that are really obvious.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- So I'm going to go for Hamlet. - Hamlet, says Lottie. Hamlet.
0:10:30 > 0:10:36Here is your red line. Get below that with Hamlet and you avoid becoming the high scorers.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Is that right? How many said Hamlet?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Absolutely right.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45And you're through. Very well done. 51.
0:10:48 > 0:10:54- 81 your total. - A reassuringly high score for Hamlet. Over half could name it.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00Now then, Daniella. And what do you do?
0:11:00 > 0:11:05- I'm also a medical student. - Also fifth year?- Yeah. - Looking at general practice?
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- I'm not really sure. Something in a hospital.- Good.
0:11:09 > 0:11:15Good place to be working as a doctor. You're on two. The high scorers are on 100,
0:11:15 > 0:11:22Marina and Joanne. 97 or less will stop you from becoming the new high scorers.
0:11:22 > 0:11:29- I'm trying to decide whether to play it safe or take a risk.- I think you can afford to take a risk.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- I'm not 100% sure. King John? - King John, says Daniella.
0:11:33 > 0:11:39Here is your red line. Let's see if King John is right and how many people said it.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44That's a brilliant answer, Daniella.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50I wouldn't be at all surprised if this went...
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Oh! Not quite all the way down. Very well done.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59You've halved Briony's already low score. Takes your total up to three.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04I could hear the admiration in your voice as you repeated that answer.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09- Like a very pleased teacher.- Yeah. - Was that your risky one?
0:12:09 > 0:12:14- Yeah, I wasn't sure.- Very well played.- Very good. Now, Marina.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19Marina... Well, there's a possibility the outcome could be this -
0:12:19 > 0:12:24you could get a really good low score along the lines of King John,
0:12:24 > 0:12:30and maybe Sean scores something that everybody's heard of. That's one possible outcome.
0:12:30 > 0:12:36Whatever happens, it relies on you having a nice low score here. Did you go to Measure For Measure?
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- I might have done! - And you've forgotten it?!
0:12:39 > 0:12:44- Oh, a couple too many wines at half-time.- Might be, yeah!
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- Maybe. - LAUGHTER
0:12:47 > 0:12:52I'll go for - and I don't even know if it is one - Henry IV.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57- Henry IV.- Yes. - Simply. Henry IV, says Marina.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02Henry IV. You are the high scorers. There's no red line for you.
0:13:02 > 0:13:08Just hope it goes all the way down. Is it right? How many people said Henry IV?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Bad luck, Marina! I'm sorry.
0:13:14 > 0:13:21I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer. It scores 100 points and takes your total up to 200.
0:13:21 > 0:13:27- There's a reason why. Richard will tell you at the end.- I will, after the last guys have had a go.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32Sean, now then, here's good news. You're in Round Two.
0:13:32 > 0:13:38Knowing that, why not see if you can find a really good low score? How are you on Shakespeare?
0:13:38 > 0:13:43Not great. I've got all the obvious ones. I'm trying to think of a pointless one.
0:13:43 > 0:13:49- I suppose I can gamble. - And if you find a pointless answer, you'll add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- That's a nice thing to do.- OK.
0:13:52 > 0:13:59- I'm going to go for Tristan and Isolde.- Tristan and Isolde says Sean. Tristan and Isolde.
0:13:59 > 0:14:05There's no red line for you. Let's see if Tristan and Isolde is right and how many people said it.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Bad luck. Bad luck, Sean.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14An incorrect answer. Scores you the maximum 100 points,
0:14:14 > 0:14:21- but it doesn't matter. You're through.- Not a Shakespeare play. It's a Wagner opera.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25- It would have been a terrific answer.- In the opera round!
0:14:25 > 0:14:31If Round Two is the operas of Richard Wagner, go first and say that again.
0:14:32 > 0:14:38Just to clear up, Marina, he did write Henry IV, but we needed the part.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41He did Henry IV Part 1 and Part 2.
0:14:41 > 0:14:47It would have scored 7 or 5 points. There were pointless answers, four, in fact.
0:14:48 > 0:14:54Cymbeline would have been a pointless answer. Then Henry VI Part 1 and Part 2,
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Henry's Revenge!
0:14:56 > 0:15:01Then Henry VI Part 3, the first one they did in 3D.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05It wasn't very successful, but he was experimenting.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09Let's look at the top three answers that most of our people said.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Hamlet, which Lottie gave us, 51.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Then Romeo and Juliet, 52. What do you think is top?
0:15:16 > 0:15:21- Macbeth?- Absolutely right. It would have scored 57.
0:15:21 > 0:15:27Thank you very much indeed. So at the end of our first round, our losing pair with 200,
0:15:27 > 0:15:32newest members of the 200 Club, are Marina and Joanne.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37Measure For Measure. Good play and quite an obscure play.
0:15:37 > 0:15:44In a normal round, if it only had a slightly different ending, it would have been a lovely low score.
0:15:44 > 0:15:51- We look forward to seeing you next time. Thanks very much for playing. Great contestants.- Thank you.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03There's only room for two pairs in our Head to Head,
0:16:03 > 0:16:05so one pair leaves after this round.
0:16:05 > 0:16:12Mike and Sean, I saw what you did. I take my hat off to you. Tristan and Isolde - what a gent!
0:16:12 > 0:16:18- They really tried to throw it. - "Oh, a Wagner opera, is it?" - Yeah.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22That was decent. Like Walter Raleigh putting his cloak over that puddle.
0:16:22 > 0:16:28- Absolutely solid gold class, guys. - But even though you took that fall, they still had to go with 200.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33- If it was possible to beat 200, we would have done it.- I know.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35I'm impressed. Well done. Gallant.
0:16:35 > 0:16:41Very best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...Famous Last Words.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Famous Last Words.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48Can you all decide who's going to go first and who's going second?
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55OK, and the question concerns...
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- Last Words and Epitaphs. Richard?- It's a nice round, this.
0:16:59 > 0:17:07On each pass we'll give you six last words or epitaphs of famous people. Can you tell us who they are?
0:17:07 > 0:17:11- There's 12 in all to have a go at at home. Good luck.- Thanks.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16We're looking for the person with whom these famous last words are famously associated.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- And here is our first board. - HE READS THE LIST
0:17:43 > 0:17:45I'll read these all one last time.
0:18:05 > 0:18:10There we are. Six last words or epitaphs.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Mike.- Clueless
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- on this one.- It's not quite as easy as I was thinking it would be.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20OK, OK, OK.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25I'm saying, "A genius of comedy. His talent brought joy and laughter to all the world,"
0:18:25 > 0:18:31- my guess is Oliver Hardy. - Oliver Hardy, Mike says. Is it right, Oliver Hardy?
0:18:32 > 0:18:37It absolutely is. Very well done. Let's see how many people said it.
0:18:38 > 0:18:3929.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47- 29.- Good work, Mike. Oliver Hardy is a terrific answer.
0:18:47 > 0:18:53Someone told me a story of how when he was little he'd been to see Oliver Hardy at a theatre in London
0:18:53 > 0:18:59and after the show he'd given his parents the slip and run round the back of the theatre
0:18:59 > 0:19:02to find his hero, Oliver Hardy.
0:19:02 > 0:19:08Slightly naughtily, he snuck into his dressing room as he was taking his make-up off.
0:19:08 > 0:19:14And Oliver Hardy just sat down and talked to him for five minutes. He said he was the sweetest guy.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18He was aged eight or nine and in trouble with his parents.
0:19:18 > 0:19:24He said, "I'd better go." It was only six months before Oliver Hardy died and Hardy said,
0:19:24 > 0:19:28"Tom..." and he waved at him with his tie.
0:19:28 > 0:19:34- Isn't that the sweetest thing? - He was supposed to be lovely. - Yeah, meant to be. There we are.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- Daniella...- Right, there's only one there that I think I actually know.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42I think, "The best is yet to come," was Frank Sinatra.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Frank Sinatra you are saying, 1998.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Absolutely right.
0:19:58 > 0:20:0021.
0:20:00 > 0:20:0521. Our lowest score so far. Very well done, Daniella.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08One of the last songs he ever sung and it's on his tombstone.
0:20:08 > 0:20:14Now then, Lottie, what do you make of this board? You can fill in all the blanks for us.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17I only know one. I think I know one.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22I think the top one is Karl Marx, but I think it'll be quite high.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25"Workers of all lands, unite!"
0:20:25 > 0:20:31That's a cracker. Karl Marx. Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many said it.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Absolutely right.
0:20:38 > 0:20:4131.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Again, not a bad score at all. Well done, Lottie.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Kept yourself in the game there. On his grave at Highgate Cemetery.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54- He'd be gutted, wouldn't he, now? - Particularly in this company.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59"That was a great game of golf, fellas!" from what I assume is Bing.
0:20:59 > 0:21:05That is Bing Crosby. 24 points. Wouldn't it be lovely if those were your final words? That's nice.
0:21:05 > 0:21:11- Who said, "I should never have switched from Scotch to Martinis"? - It's Humphrey Bogart.
0:21:11 > 0:21:16Absolutely right. Two points. And, "She did it the hard way"?
0:21:16 > 0:21:21- Bette Davis?- Absolutely right. Nine. So the best was Humphrey Bogart.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Well done if you said that.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25We're halfway through the round.
0:21:25 > 0:21:3021, there we are, Daniella and Briony doing it again.
0:21:30 > 0:21:36Up to 29 where we find Mike and Sean and then 21, Lottie and Sarah. All very, very close scores,
0:21:36 > 0:21:41particularly between Sarah and Sean in the next pass. Very close.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:46 > 0:21:50OK, we're going to put six more last words or epitaphs on the board.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- We have got... - HE READS THE LIST
0:22:15 > 0:22:17I'll read those all one final time.
0:22:35 > 0:22:43There we are. We're looking for the person with whom these last words or epitaphs was associated.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48Sarah, you're the high scorers on 31. We need a really good choice.
0:22:48 > 0:22:54I know three or four and I'm not sure which one to go for.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00I think I'll go with, "I told you I was ill." Spike Milligan.
0:23:00 > 0:23:06Spike Milligan, 2002. Let's see if that's right. There's no red line for you.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08How many people said Spike Milligan?
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Very good indeed.
0:23:16 > 0:23:1829. Very well done.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23- That takes your total up to 60. - Well done, Sarah.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27- A great gag to go out on. - That is the best of all epitaphs.
0:23:27 > 0:23:35Where he's buried, Chichester, they wouldn't allow it on his tombstone. It's written in Gaelic.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40- They disapproved of it. That seems a shame, doesn't it? - Yeah! There we are.
0:23:40 > 0:23:45OK, now then, Briony. Lovely low score from Daniella.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Let's see if we can keep that up. The high scorers are Lottie and Sarah on 60.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54If you can score 38 or less, you're through to the Head to Head.
0:23:54 > 0:24:00OK, I'm not entirely sure, but I'm going to go for the first one.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04"Free at last, free at last." Martin Luther King?
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Martin Luther King, says Briony. Is that right? Here's your red line.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13Get below that and you're through. How many said Martin Luther King?
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Well, it's right.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25And you're in the Head to Head. Very well done. 29, your score.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30- 50, your total. - This is a close round.- Isn't it?
0:24:30 > 0:24:35I would have thought he'd score more with the initials, MLK.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40There we are. OK, now then, Sean, the board is all yours.
0:24:40 > 0:24:47The high scorers are still on 60. You're on 29. Score 30 or less and you're in the Head to Head.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49I'm really not sure on any of them.
0:24:53 > 0:24:58I guess I'll have to go, "Everybody loves somebody sometime,"
0:24:58 > 0:25:04- Dean Martin?- Dean Martin, says Sean, for, "Everybody loves somebody sometime."
0:25:04 > 0:25:08Let's see if that's right and how many said it.
0:25:08 > 0:25:13There is your red line. How many people said Dean Martin?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18It's right.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23You've done it! Very well done. 23.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Oh, that was close. 52, your total.
0:25:28 > 0:25:33- Wow.- Dean Martin and Oliver Hardy did the job for you guys.
0:25:33 > 0:25:38Yeah, it's a song he used to sing. Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime.
0:25:38 > 0:25:44- Is that a Rat Pack thing to have one of your songs on your tombstone? - Frank Sinatra did and he did.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49Let's look at the rest of these. "That's all, folks." A nice one.
0:25:49 > 0:25:56That's Mel Blanc, the voice of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Porky Pig. That's on his tombstone.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00- That is nice. - It would have scored 17 points.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05"Here lies one whose name was writ in water." It's a poet.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09- Oh, John Keats.- Absolutely right. It would have scored three.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12And, "Get my swan costume ready"? It's a dancer.
0:26:12 > 0:26:19- Oh, it's Pavlova.- Anna Pavlova. Absolutely right. Nine points. Keats is the best answer there.
0:26:19 > 0:26:26Thanks, Richard. So at the end of Round Two, our losing pair on 60 - not a bad score at all -
0:26:26 > 0:26:31but Lottie and Sarah you are just the highest.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35We'll see you again next time. Thanks so much for playing.
0:26:35 > 0:26:40But for the two remaining pairs, it's one step closer to the final
0:26:40 > 0:26:42as we enter the Head to Head.
0:26:47 > 0:26:54Congratulations, Briony, Daniella, Mike and Sean. You are one round from playing for our jackpot
0:26:54 > 0:26:56which currently stands at £2,000.
0:26:59 > 0:27:05Only one pair can play for that money. We've got to decide which pair, so now you go head to head,
0:27:05 > 0:27:10but you're now allowed to confer. The first pair to win two questions will play for that jackpot.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15Mike, Sean, the second question will be your turn to go first.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Just knock it out. That's all I'm saying. Tristan and Isolde.
0:27:19 > 0:27:24Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the Head to Head.
0:27:28 > 0:27:35Here comes your first question. And it concerns... aerial views of cities.
0:27:35 > 0:27:41- Richard?- We'll show you five aerial views of cities. Now you need to name the city. Good luck.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45OK, so let's reveal our five cities from the sky.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11There we are. Five cities seen from the air.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15Briony and Daniella, you get to go first.
0:28:22 > 0:28:27OK, we're going to play it safe. There's a few we're not sure about.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31We're just going to go for D. We think it's New York.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35D, New York, say Briony and Daniella. D, New York.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Mike and Sean, talk us through it.
0:28:37 > 0:28:42Em, I think we'll have to take a punt here. What do you reckon?
0:28:42 > 0:28:46We're going to say E and we're going to say it's Paris.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49E, Paris, say Mike and Sean. E, Paris.
0:28:49 > 0:28:57Briony and Daniella have said New York City, D. Is New York right? How many people said it?
0:28:59 > 0:29:01It's right.
0:29:02 > 0:29:0567 for New York.
0:29:08 > 0:29:14Now then, Mike and Sean have taken a bit of a punt and have said E, Paris.
0:29:14 > 0:29:20E, Paris. Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said E, Paris?
0:29:22 > 0:29:24It's right.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27And you win that question.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30- 29.- Well done, mate.
0:29:31 > 0:29:37Very well done, Mike and Sean. You are up one-nil. Richard?
0:29:37 > 0:29:41That image of Paris is taken from the top of the Eiffel Tower
0:29:41 > 0:29:45and the image of New York is from the Empire State Building.
0:29:45 > 0:29:50A is from the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54That would have scored you nothing. Very well done if you said that.
0:29:54 > 0:30:00B is taken from the top of the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa, in Dubai.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03That would have scored you 22.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07And C is taken in Florence.
0:30:07 > 0:30:12- It's beautiful.- Isn't it? - It would have scored nine points.
0:30:12 > 0:30:17Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Briony and Daniella, you need to win this one.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24It concerns... John Cleese.
0:30:24 > 0:30:30- John Cleese, Richard?- Five clues to facts about John Cleese. Give us the most obscure answer.
0:30:30 > 0:30:35Thanks, Richard. Let's reveal our five clues. Here they are.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37HE READS THE LIST
0:30:46 > 0:30:48I'll read all of those again.
0:30:56 > 0:31:02There we are. Five clues to facts about John Cleese. Mike and Sean, you go first.
0:31:09 > 0:31:14We're going to go for the first Bond film
0:31:14 > 0:31:19- and say The World Is Not Enough. - The World Is Not Enough, say Mike and Sean.
0:31:19 > 0:31:26His first Bond film. Now, Briony and Daniella, talk us through the board,
0:31:26 > 0:31:30- bearing in mind you have to win this question to stay in.- Em...
0:31:30 > 0:31:34I'm not really sure of any, but seaside town birthplace.
0:31:34 > 0:31:39- Fawlty Towers is set in Torquay. - We could say Torquay.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41I think it's Torquay.
0:31:41 > 0:31:46- Shall we go with that?- Shall we go with Torquay anyway?- Torquay.
0:31:46 > 0:31:51Torquay, say Briony and Daniella. His seaside town birthplace.
0:31:51 > 0:31:56Mike and Sean, The World Is Not Enough. Is that right?
0:31:57 > 0:32:00It's right. Very well done.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05It's a low score. Oh, wow!
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Three. Very well done indeed, Mike and Sean.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10That's fantastic.
0:32:10 > 0:32:17Now then, Briony and Daniella, you have said Torquay was his seaside town birthplace.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Is that right? How many said it?
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Oh, bad luck! Bad luck.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28You'd have a job beating three.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Torquay is not the right answer,
0:32:31 > 0:32:36which means, Mike and Sean, you are through to the final, 2-0.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39It was the best answer on the board.
0:32:39 > 0:32:44He married Connie Booth, who was his co-writer. 27 points.
0:32:44 > 0:32:49His seaside town birthplace was Weston-Super-Mare. 15 points.
0:32:49 > 0:32:55- His father's original surname? - Cheese.- Cheese, yes. His father was called Reginald Cheese.
0:32:55 > 0:33:01- 8 points. And the name of his 2011 tour?- Alimony.- The Alimony Tour. It would have scored 6 points.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04The World Is Not Enough, couldn't have done better.
0:33:04 > 0:33:09Thanks. So our losing pair is Briony and Daniella.
0:33:09 > 0:33:14You performed so well. The great news for us is we see you again,
0:33:14 > 0:33:21otherwise you'd have gone through to the final and that would be it. Thanks so much for playing.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26But for Mike and Sean it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:33:30 > 0:33:37Congratulations, Mike and Sean. You fought off all the competition to win our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:33:43 > 0:33:49You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot which stands at £2,000.
0:33:51 > 0:33:56You've done so well, guys. Really consistent good play there.
0:33:56 > 0:34:02The only blot on the copybook being Tristan and Isolde, but if you have a bad answer
0:34:02 > 0:34:05it's a very cultured bad answer. Very, very good.
0:34:05 > 0:34:11We're not fooling anyone with this, "We're guessing" act, are we?
0:34:11 > 0:34:15It's fine, guys, but it leaves a slightly sour taste in the mouth.
0:34:15 > 0:34:20- As pair of women after pair of women has been sent home.- Yeah.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22What have you to say for yourselves?
0:34:22 > 0:34:27The World Is Not Enough was great. Did you know that for sure?
0:34:27 > 0:34:32- No, complete guess. - I thought it was Die Another Day and Sean said it was the one before.
0:34:32 > 0:34:38- I knew The World Is Not Enough was before that. We worked it out. - That's teamwork.
0:34:38 > 0:34:43- What would you like to see come up? - Katie Price, maybe.
0:34:43 > 0:34:48- If it comes up on the board, I dare you to go Katie Price.- No.
0:34:48 > 0:34:53- We like the comedy ones. We do quite well on them. - Music if it's not pop music.
0:34:53 > 0:34:58- That would be good. Rock or indie. Something like that.- OK.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Very best of luck. The rules are very simple.
0:35:01 > 0:35:08All you have to do is find a pointless answer. Just one. Do that and you go home with £2,000.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12First, choose a category. Here are your five options.
0:35:21 > 0:35:27- There's only two we'd stand a chance on. I don't think it's Wimbledon. - You want to go rock albums?- Yeah.
0:35:27 > 0:35:33- It could be Bon Jovi or something. - They wouldn't do that to us. - Rock albums.
0:35:33 > 0:35:39- We owe it to ourselves.- OK. - Before we find out the question, in the world of rock,
0:35:39 > 0:35:45- what would you like it to be? - Rolling Stones albums would be good. - Yeah.- There's a lot of albums there.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49- Some classic rock. Led Zeppelin. Something like that.- OK.
0:35:49 > 0:35:54OK, good. Very best of luck. Let's find out what the question is.
0:35:54 > 0:36:01- We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Rolling Stones albums as they could.- You're kidding!
0:36:01 > 0:36:07- There we go. Richard?- We want the name of any Rolling Stones album that reached the top 100
0:36:07 > 0:36:15from 1964 through to 2012, please. Greatest hits albums are allowed, but no American-only albums.
0:36:15 > 0:36:20Any Rolling Stones album. Very best of luck, guys. That never happens.
0:36:20 > 0:36:26Yeah, never. Right. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30All you need to win £2,000 is for just one answer to be pointless.
0:36:30 > 0:36:35- Are you ready?- Yes.- Yeah. - Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43I'll come right out and say I only know one. Go on, then.
0:36:43 > 0:36:48Em, OK. There's a really early one that was weird and psychedelic.
0:36:48 > 0:36:53- Their Satanic Majesties Request.- OK. - Not many people know that.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55We'll go for a recent one.
0:36:58 > 0:37:03The one that sold the worst, I think, was Bridges To Babylon.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07- So Bridges To Babylon.- OK. - Then... I know every album,
0:37:07 > 0:37:11- it's just... - Well, I've never heard of those two.
0:37:11 > 0:37:16Shall I go for early stuff? '80s? Recent stuff?
0:37:16 > 0:37:20- The most recent album is A Bigger Bang.- I don't think...
0:37:20 > 0:37:25- Stay away from the most recent one. - OK.- Go further back.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29- One more.- 10 seconds left.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Em, OK.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- I think I've got three.- OK.
0:37:36 > 0:37:41OK, that is time up. We were looking for Rolling Stones albums.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43I now need your three answers.
0:37:43 > 0:37:48- Right. Their Satanic Majesties Request. - Their Satanic Majesties Request.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52- Bridges To Babylon. - Bridges To Babylon. And...?
0:37:52 > 0:38:00- Voodoo Lounge.- Voodoo Lounge. OK. Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:00 > 0:38:06- Their Satanic Majesties Request. - We'll put that last. Which is your least likely?
0:38:06 > 0:38:13- Voodoo Lounge.- We'll put it first. OK, let's put those up on the board in that order. Here they are.
0:38:18 > 0:38:25We were looking for Rolling Stones albums. Your first answer, Voodoo Lounge, was your least confident.
0:38:25 > 0:38:31You only need one pointless answer to win that jackpot. £2,000 could be yours.
0:38:31 > 0:38:37Voodoo Lounge has to be correct and pointless. Let's see if it is. How many people said Voodoo Lounge?
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Well, it's absolutely right.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45This is your first shot at that jackpot of £2,000.
0:38:45 > 0:38:50If this goes down to zero, you leave with that money.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Four!
0:38:59 > 0:39:01OK. Four. Not a bad score at all.
0:39:01 > 0:39:06And that was your first answer, the least likely to be pointless.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10You only have two more chances to win that jackpot of £2,000.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14£2,000, a grand each. What would you do with it, Mike?
0:39:14 > 0:39:19We've talked about going to Japan for the longest time now.
0:39:19 > 0:39:26As soon as we both get our degrees over with, we'll start saving and leave as soon as we can.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28So that would be a great help.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32- Stay there as long as we can, really.- Very good.
0:39:32 > 0:39:38- Sean, anything else? - Well, it's boring, but pay off a bit of the student loan, maybe.
0:39:38 > 0:39:43- I'd rather do something more fun. - Everyone wants to go to Japan these days.
0:39:43 > 0:39:48- Have you been there, Richard?- I'm a giant here! Imagine over there. - LAUGHTER
0:39:48 > 0:39:54- God...- They'd summon Godzilla within 15 minutes of me landing. - Yeah, they would.
0:39:54 > 0:40:00OK, we are looking for Rolling Stones albums. Let's hope nobody said Bridges To Babylon.
0:40:00 > 0:40:07This has to be pointless to win that jackpot of £2,000. How many people said Bridges To Babylon?
0:40:11 > 0:40:13OK, well, it's right.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17Voodoo Lounge went all the way down to four.
0:40:17 > 0:40:22Bridges To Babylon. Still going down. Single figures.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26Passes four... Three! All going in the right direction.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33OK. Three for Bridges To Babylon.
0:40:33 > 0:40:39You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot. Everything rides on Their Satanic Majesties Request.
0:40:39 > 0:40:47You had no bother putting this as your last answer. You were sure that this was your best shot.
0:40:47 > 0:40:54OK, to win that jackpot of £2,000, it has to be pointless. Let's see. Their Satanic Majesties Request.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58Is it a pointless answer? Best of luck.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00It's right!
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Voodoo Lounge took us down to four.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07Bridges To Babylon took us to three. Their Satanic Majesties Request.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Down it goes... Still going.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Two!
0:41:21 > 0:41:26Wow. Three fantastic answers there. Three fantastic low scores.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Sadly, only pointless scores matter
0:41:28 > 0:41:35so you don't win today's jackpot of £2,000, which rolls over onto the next show.
0:41:35 > 0:41:41You've been brilliant contestants and you do take home a Pointless trophy. Very well done.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50That was unlucky. Three terrific answers there.
0:41:50 > 0:41:57The biggest scorers were Sticky Fingers, Let It Bleed, Beggars Banquet, Exile On Main Street.
0:41:57 > 0:42:04All of their big studio albums scored points. Let's take a look at the pointless answers.
0:42:04 > 0:42:09- There you go!- Flashpoint, 1991. Do you know Flashpoint?- Yeah. - He just said it!
0:42:09 > 0:42:17So sorry. Get Stoned, Metamorphosis, which was lots of out-takes of songs from the '70s.
0:42:17 > 0:42:23No Security, Rock 'n' Rolling Stones, Rolled Gold. An unauthorised compilation that sold a shedload.
0:42:23 > 0:42:29There was a follow-up as well that was pointless. Shine A Light, the soundtrack to the film,
0:42:29 > 0:42:36made in 2008 by Scorsese. Story of the Stones and Stripped. Very well done if you got those.
0:42:36 > 0:42:42- Sorry you didn't get there. - Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Mike and Sean.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46You knew a number of those, didn't you?
0:42:46 > 0:42:52It's been brilliant having you. Thank you both for playing. Great contestants, Mike and Sean!
0:42:52 > 0:42:57Very sadly, Mike and Sean didn't win our jackpot today, so it rolls over
0:42:57 > 0:43:00and we'll be playing for £3,000.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06- Join us then. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
