0:00:18 > 0:00:21CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:29the quiz show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Couple number one.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39I'm Jo, I'm an artist from Melksham in Wiltshire
0:00:39 > 0:00:43and this is my best friend Nici, from Mitcham in Surrey.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Our second couple.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47I'm Ian, this is Mike. We met at university.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50He's originally from Worcester and I'm from Swansea.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51And our third couple.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55I'm Jane, this is my husband Owen and we're from Lampeter.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And our fourth and final couple.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58I'm Dave, from Middlesbrough.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01This is Andy, he's from Darlington, and we're work colleagues.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, these are our contestants.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06APPLAUSE
0:01:09 > 0:01:11We will find out more about all of you throughout the show
0:01:11 > 0:01:15as it goes along. There's only one person left me to introduce.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17He makes Mastermind look like multiple choice.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20It's my pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Hello.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Mastermind sort of is multiple choice.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30It's a multiple choice of everything in the world.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- Yeah, that's a mini multiple, multiple choice.- Yeah.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Forget that.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- How are you, well?- I'm really well. Very well.- Excellent.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41This jackpot is coming along very nicely at the moment, isn't it?
0:01:41 > 0:01:42That is really maturing.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Yes, we had a great show last time, didn't we?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48We had a bunch of pointless answers. Very, very exciting jackpot.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51They didn't win it. So, plenty of money there. Two returning pairs from that show.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54We didn't see a huge amount of either of them, did we, so we expect
0:01:54 > 0:01:57to see a little bit more today from Jane and Owen and Ian and Mike.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Andy and David, they've so got the look of Pointless winners,
0:02:00 > 0:02:01haven't they?
0:02:01 > 0:02:05You get two guys, usually northern, quite unassuming guys,
0:02:05 > 0:02:09you think OK, yeah, you'd like to go for a pint with those guys.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11And they absolutely sweep all before them.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- Don't you think?- Yeah.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16I might be wrong, you might be unbelievably thick. I don't know.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17LAUGHTER
0:02:17 > 0:02:21You might be. But that's not the impression you give off.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25You give off a quiet, calm assurance, I would say.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Oh, I can't wait for that podium to give an answer.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30It's going to be the... Aw!
0:02:30 > 0:02:34The second we get onto you guys, I'm going to settle back like that,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37just enjoy the answer as it comes.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- Oh, it's going to be great.- Exciting. All our pointless questions have been asked to 100 people
0:02:41 > 0:02:45before the show. Our contestants must find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Everyone's looking to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave
0:02:49 > 0:02:52and each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55As Richard says, nobody won the jackpot last time so we add
0:02:55 > 0:03:00another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off at £11,250.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- AUDIENCE:- Ooh!
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14OK, in this round I'll take an answer from each of you
0:03:14 > 0:03:19but no conferring. Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated,
0:03:19 > 0:03:21so try hard to make sure that isn't you.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23OK, our first category today is...
0:03:24 > 0:03:27..Film. Film.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41OK, our first question concerns...
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Richard?- On each pass we'll show you the names of seven films
0:03:49 > 0:03:52which are all biopics of famous people, and the name of an actor.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55You need to tell us who did that actor play in that biopic, please.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Give us a nice obscure answer, you'll score fewer points.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00An incorrect answer will score you 100.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03There's going to be 14 to have a go at at home. Very best of luck.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Thanks very much. So, we're looking for the famous people
0:04:06 > 0:04:08that are the subjects of these biopics.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11And on our first board we have got:
0:04:27 > 0:04:29I'll read those all one last time.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Now then, Nici, welcome.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Welcome to Pointless. Lovely to have you here.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- You've come from Surrey.- Yes.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52What do you do, Nici?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55I work for the company that maintain the M25.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Tell them from me they're doing an excellent job?- Oh, I will.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Thank you. Someone says that, that's so good of you.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Aw, that road is so well-maintained!
0:05:04 > 0:05:07How are you on your biopics?
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Erm...
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Not good, looking at that board.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14There are names I think I should know,
0:05:14 > 0:05:18but I think the only one I can be sure of
0:05:18 > 0:05:19is Nowhere Boy
0:05:19 > 0:05:21and John Lennon.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25John Lennon, Nowhere Boy, you are saying.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Let's see if that's right
0:05:26 > 0:05:29and, if it is, let's see how many people said John Lennon.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Absolutely right.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Five!
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- Nici, that's amazing. - APPLAUSE
0:05:43 > 0:05:46That's a really good answer. Five for Nowhere Boy.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Well played, Nici, very good answer, very good start to the show.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Absolutely. Directed by Sam Taylor-Wood,
0:05:51 > 0:05:54who is married to the star Aaron Johnson. Five points.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55The word "the Beatles"
0:05:55 > 0:05:57is not mentioned once during that whole film.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- Wow, there's a snub.- Yeah.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Actually, the word "the" is mentioned,
0:06:00 > 0:06:02but the word "Beatles" isn't.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Now then, Mike.- Yeah.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Tell us what happened last time.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11Er, last time theatre came up and me and Ian both said beforehand
0:06:11 > 0:06:14if theatre comes up, we haven't got a chance.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16And I thought I did really well with William Shakespeare.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19But I don't think it was... What, 81, was it?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22And we ended up a combined score of 181.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Which is embarrassing, to say the least.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29OK. Here we are on Film, though. What do you make of this board?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32A Beautiful Mind is a great film, Russell Crowe, love the film.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35But I can't remember his name in it. I can't pluck him from anywhere.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Leonardo DiCaprio is, like, my favourite actor,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41so I should know his role in that film.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43I'm going to have to take a punt
0:06:43 > 0:06:49and say that Leonardo DiCaprio was himself, J Edgar, in J Edgar.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51We'll need the full name of J Edgar...
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- John Edgar.- OK.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57John Edgar, says Mike Y.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Let's see if that's right. If it is, let's see how many of our
0:07:00 > 0:07:03100 people said John Edgar for Leonardo DiCaprio.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Bad luck.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Bad luck, an incorrect answer, I'm afraid,
0:07:11 > 0:07:14which scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- Richard?- Sorry, Mike, I'll give you the correct answer
0:07:17 > 0:07:18at the end of the pass.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20But you notice something about Mike on today's show?
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- What?- He has an errant Y on his name badge.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- Oh, yeah!- Cos in the previous show,
0:07:28 > 0:07:29there were two Mikes.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- So we had Mike M... - And Mikey.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34People are wondering where the Y comes from.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- Yeah, why the Y? - Why the Y, Mikey?
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Or Mike - why?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39LAUGHTER
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- I should have said that when he gave that answer.- You should have.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Mike...
0:07:43 > 0:07:44why?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46LAUGHTER
0:07:46 > 0:07:48I don't know.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52OK, now then. Jane. What happened last time?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55I did abysmally. Off in the first round.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00Yeah. Well, no, you had a South American region, Patagonia,
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- sadly it wasn't a country.- No.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06How much time do you spend watching biopics?
0:08:06 > 0:08:08I have watched some,
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I've seen one or two there,
0:08:10 > 0:08:12but not that I can remember.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16I only think I know one and I think I'll go for,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- if it's accepted, J Edgar Hoover.- OK.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22We've learnt something, Mike, This is good.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24OK, well, you are going to go with
0:08:24 > 0:08:26J Edgar Hoover for Leonardo DiCaprio.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Let's see if that's right
0:08:28 > 0:08:31and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said J Edgar Hoover.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35It's right.
0:08:38 > 0:08:3944.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41APPLAUSE
0:08:43 > 0:08:4644 for J Edgar Hoover.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Well done, Jane, a biopic about the director of the FBI, J Edgar Hoover.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Remember, we are looking for the famous people who were the subjects of these biopics.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57David. You're the last person to have this board.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Tell us a bit about yourself, David. Where are you from?
0:08:59 > 0:09:00I'm from Middlesbrough.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- And what you do, David?- I'm a store manager for a retail group.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06And what do you like to get up to in your spare time?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08I do a bit of home-brew.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Oh, do you?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Yes.- What things do you brew?
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- Ciders and beers, passed down from generation to generation.- Really?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18What sort of volume do you make every...
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Only about 40 pints at a time.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25At a time? How many times? How many times a year?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27About three times a year, really.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29OK. Now, David,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31the board, the gentleman.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Talk us through it.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35No idea, really.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39The first one, is that something about a mountain? I don't know.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42A Man For All Seasons, I want to say Henry VIII,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44but I don't think it was about Henry VIII.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48I think it was about his Chancellor, I don't know.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Desert Fox - Monty?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53But I'd need his full name.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56I'm going to have to go for Henry VIII,
0:09:56 > 0:09:59because I don't know the full name of Monty, unfortunately.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- OK, you're going to say Henry VIII for...- A Man For All Seasons.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06A Man For All Seasons. Henry VIII, you're going to say.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Let's see if that's right. If it is, let's see how many
0:10:08 > 0:10:09knew that answer. Henry VIII.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Bad luck, David. Bad luck.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer which scores you
0:10:19 > 0:10:20the maximum of 100 points. I'm sorry.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22That is a tough board, actually, I have to say.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25But David, you knew the answer to that one.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27You said he played Henry VIII's Chancellor and he did.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29He played Thomas More.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32The film is a biopic about Thomas More and that would have
0:10:32 > 0:10:36scored you nine points, would have been a terrific answer. Tough board.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39PT 109 is about the early life of JFK.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41That would have scored you 10 points.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44The Desert Fox, he doesn't play Montgomery, quite the opposite.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46He plays Erwin Rommel in that
0:10:46 > 0:10:48and that would have scored you 35 points.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Beautiful Mind, we've all seen it, but who does he play?
0:10:51 > 0:10:52He plays John Nash.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57- 2 points. And Frida is the artist... - Frida Kahlo.- Absolutely right.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58Would have scored 3.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00The best answer on the board is John Nash.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02We're halfway through the round.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:11:04 > 0:11:075, what about that, Nici and Jo? 5.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Best score by a long chalk.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10Then we go up to 44,
0:11:10 > 0:11:12where we find Jane and Owen,
0:11:12 > 0:11:13then it's all the way up
0:11:13 > 0:11:15to 100 where we find Mike - why? -
0:11:15 > 0:11:16and Ian
0:11:16 > 0:11:17and David and Andy.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19So, yes. Andy and Ian, it's going to
0:11:19 > 0:11:21be between the pair of you, I'd say,
0:11:21 > 0:11:22to see who stays with us and
0:11:22 > 0:11:24who leaves at the end of the round. Best of luck.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27We'll go back down the line. Second players, take your places at the podium.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33OK, we've got seven more biopics
0:11:33 > 0:11:34on the board and here they come.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36We have got...
0:11:48 > 0:11:50I'll read those all one last time...
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Remember, you are looking for the famous people
0:12:02 > 0:12:05who are the subjects of these biopics and Andy, you're going to
0:12:05 > 0:12:08try and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11So, Andy, how do you and David know each other?
0:12:11 > 0:12:12We're work colleagues.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15We work for the same company, manage different stores.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Right you are. How often do you see each other in the working week?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- We speak every day.- Yeah. - Don't see each other.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Area meetings,
0:12:23 > 0:12:26the occasional concert, gig we go to.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Do you? What sort of gigs do you go to?
0:12:29 > 0:12:31- Bad ones.- Bad ones.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Do you set out to go to bad ones?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Occasionally, yeah!
0:12:35 > 0:12:37How do you find them?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39We both come up with suggestions,
0:12:39 > 0:12:41"Do you fancy going to see that?"
0:12:41 > 0:12:44You look until you find something, "Oh, that looks terrible."
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Last time we went to one, we actually left
0:12:46 > 0:12:48after three minutes, laughing.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50LAUGHTER
0:12:50 > 0:12:52There we go. Now, then, Andy.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53What do you make of this board?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56There's one obvious one...
0:12:56 > 0:12:58the Mel Gibson one, I can't think of.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01I'm going to take a chance
0:13:01 > 0:13:02and say that Amadeus
0:13:02 > 0:13:04is Mozart.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06You're going to say Mozart for Amadeus.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Mozart for Amadeus, says Andy.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10You're the joint high-scorers at the moment on 100.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Let's see how many people said Mozart.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Absolutely right.
0:13:20 > 0:13:2145.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23APPLAUSE
0:13:23 > 0:13:24Takes your total up to 145.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- Richard.- Well played, Andy. Tom Hulce's
0:13:28 > 0:13:31portrayal of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Very impressive.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Now then, Owen.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35I've got great news for you.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36The highest scorers are
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Andy and David on 145. You're on 44.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Even if you score 100 points,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44you are still through to the next round. Well done.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- No pressure.- No, literally, no pressure.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49But let's have an answer.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51I think I'm going to say The Iron Lady, Meryl Streep,
0:13:51 > 0:13:53and Margaret Thatcher.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55The Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher, says Owen.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Let's see if that's right. No red line for you,
0:13:57 > 0:13:59you're already through. Let's see, is it right?
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Margaret Thatcher. How many people said it?
0:14:04 > 0:14:05It's right.
0:14:05 > 0:14:0768.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08APPLAUSE
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Takes your total up to 112.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Well done, Owen. Redeemed yourself, there.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Yeah, Meryl Streep, again,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19won an Oscar for her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Very good indeed. Now, Ian,
0:14:21 > 0:14:23we have a game on our hands, here.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24The high scorers are Andy
0:14:24 > 0:14:27and David on 145, you're on 100.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29If you can score 44 or less,
0:14:29 > 0:14:31you are through to the next round.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Now, Ian, what are your other areas, your strong suits?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Just sport, really. Football, tennis, rugby.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Anything to do with sport.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- Not biopics, though.- Not biopics.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47OK. What are you going to go for?
0:14:47 > 0:14:48Braveheart I should know, but
0:14:48 > 0:14:52the name is just not coming to me.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54So I'm going to have to have a guess.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58The Last Emperor, Julius Caesar.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02OK, Julius Caesar, says Ian, for The Last Emperor.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03Let's see if that's right.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Julius Caesar. There's your red line.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09If you get below it, you are through to the next round.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Is it right? How may people said it, if it is?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Bad luck, that's an incorrect answer.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Scores you the maximum of 100 points, taking your total
0:15:22 > 0:15:24up to 200.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Sorry, Ian. I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Last time we did a round on "bio-pics," I called them biopics
0:15:30 > 0:15:33and I read a very interesting, learned paper about pronunciation,
0:15:33 > 0:15:35some university, picking up on
0:15:35 > 0:15:37the fact that you called it bio-pic and I called it biopic.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39And you were right.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Which is why I'm calling them "bio-pics" now.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Ah! but it's a portmanteau word, isn't it, really?
0:15:44 > 0:15:45Yeah, if you want.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47LAUGHTER
0:15:47 > 0:15:49OK. Jo, what do you do?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I'm an artist. A painter. I do glass painting.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57- Yes, you do! You presented some glasses for us.- I did, yes.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Which we've seen, some very fine glasses.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- They're very good, aren't they?- Yes. With your face and mine.- Nice.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05You have been... I mean, you look great, but in
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Jo's picture...
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- I look even better.- She's taken about seven years off you.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11- Really?- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Jo, great news for you. You're through to
0:16:14 > 0:16:17the next round, whatever happens, even if you score 100 points,
0:16:17 > 0:16:19partly thanks to Nici's excellent answer,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22and partly thanks to Ian and Mike Y's execrable answers,
0:16:22 > 0:16:25you are through to the next round. Now, then,
0:16:25 > 0:16:28the board is yours. Can you fill in any of the blanks for us?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Braveheart's William Wallace.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37But the only one I really am positive on is Shadowlands
0:16:37 > 0:16:40and I believe that's CS Lewis.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42You're going to say Shadowlands, CS Lewis.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Lovely low score, there, from Nici, of 5.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47If you can replicate that,
0:16:47 > 0:16:50then this will really be an excellent round for the pair of you.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Shadowlands, CS Lewis, says Jo.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many said it.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56No red line, you're already through.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00It's right.
0:17:06 > 0:17:0712.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Very, very well done indeed.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Fantastic total of 17.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Extremely well played, Jo and Nici.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Well played. Best answers on both passes from your team.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17Jo and Nici are good, aren't they?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Yeah.- We've got some good players here today.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Really, really tough first question, I think, that was.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Let's look through the ones we don't have here.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28The Last Emperor, not Julius Caesar, it's Pu Yi.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Pu Yi is a very tough answer, though. Would have scored 1 point.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Braveheart, Jo, you're right, was William Wallace.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Would have scored you 28 points.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Immortal Beloved is Ludwig van Beethoven,
0:17:39 > 0:17:42by Gary Oldman, would have scored 4 points.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44And Shine, Geoffrey Rush plays
0:17:44 > 0:17:45David Helfgott.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47David Helfgott. 2 points.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Well done if he said that.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Pu Yi, Perhaps unsurprisingly,
0:17:50 > 0:17:51the lowest answer on the board.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- Some tough answers there, aren't they?- Very tough.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Both boards difficult. Very well done to anyone who survived that.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59They'll be something easier next, I promise.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01At the end of our first round, the pair who will be leaving
0:18:01 > 0:18:05- the show, with their high score of 200 points...- 200?
0:18:05 > 0:18:07You're in the 200 point, Ian and Mike Y.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- We are, we are.- I'm so embarrassed.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11It hasn't gone brilliantly, has it, that round?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13I mean, they were tough,
0:18:13 > 0:18:16to be fair. I thought you were going to do better.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17I thought we'd do better, as well.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- All you need is to have heard of J Edgar Hoover.- I know.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22That was a shoo-in.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Oh, well. We have to say goodbye to you, Ian and Mike.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27I'm afraid it's been too short.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Too short.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31But thanks for playing. Great to have you on the show.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Ian and Mike.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34APPLAUSE
0:18:34 > 0:18:37But, for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Obviously, there's only going to be room for two pairs
0:18:46 > 0:18:48in our head-to-head round, so one pair in front of me
0:18:48 > 0:18:51will be leaving us, very sadly, at the end of this round.
0:18:51 > 0:18:56I wonder who it's going to be. Jo and Nici, fantastic.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Oh, straight out of the traps, there. Brilliant low score. 17.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Very, very good indeed. Andy and David did pretty well, there.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Jane and Owen, you made it through.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10You're in the second round, now. It's all looking very good indeed.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...
0:19:16 > 0:19:18..Football.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22Can you decide in your pairs who will go first, who will go second.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30OK, so our question concerns...
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Richard.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Yeah, we're going to show you a picture, now,
0:19:37 > 0:19:40of the 1982 England World Cup squad.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45- We need you to identify any of the players in this picture, please.- OK.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48So we're now going to show you the image, and here it comes.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49Feast your eyes.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56There you go. The England 1982 World Cup squad.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59That picture will remain up there for the duration of the round.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03You each have to name a player pictured there.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05So, Jo, how are you feeling about this?
0:20:05 > 0:20:08What are your areas of expertise, Jo, apart from art?
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- Films.- Films.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12- Chocolate cake.- Oh.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Very good on that.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17And football, not a hope,
0:20:17 > 0:20:20cos I can mentally see my husband
0:20:20 > 0:20:23sat at home going, "I know that one and I know that one.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25"And I know that one."
0:20:25 > 0:20:27And all I'm thinking is, "Mullet."
0:20:27 > 0:20:29LAUGHTER
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Ray Clemence. - Ray Clemence, says Jo.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Let's see if that's right and, if it is,
0:20:35 > 0:20:37how many of our 100 people said it. Ray Clemence.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42It's right.
0:20:47 > 0:20:4817!
0:20:48 > 0:20:50APPLAUSE
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Very, very well done, Jo.
0:20:51 > 0:20:5317 for Ray Clemence.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Very well played, Jo. There he is, Ray Clemence. One of the goalies.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Your husband will be punching the air
0:21:01 > 0:21:03like a last-minute penalty's been scored. Very well played.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Jane, how are we feeling about this?
0:21:05 > 0:21:10Not good! I can't stand football and I was only one in 1982,
0:21:10 > 0:21:12so, not a great memory of it.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I'll have to say...
0:21:14 > 0:21:17I'm not even sure it's right, Bobby Dalglish.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Bobby Dalglish.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21OK, let's see if Bobby Dalglish is right.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Bad luck, bad luck.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, which scores you
0:21:31 > 0:21:33the maximum of 100 points.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34I'm sorry.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Last game, Owen made up Rajikistan,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38this game you've made up Bobby Dalglish.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39That's good, that's one-all, isn't it?
0:21:39 > 0:21:43One-all, with the equalising goal scored by Bobby Dalglish.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44LAUGHTER
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Controversially not picked for the 1982 England World Cup squad.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50There's a Kenny Dalglish, who's a Scotland player.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51Well, we can see,
0:21:51 > 0:21:54the round is young. Anything can happen.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55Andy, we come to you.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57How are you on football, Andy?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00It's around about the time I was collecting football stickers.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Paul Mariner.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05- Paul Mariner.- Paul Mariner.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07OK, Paul Mariner, says Andy.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many
0:22:10 > 0:22:12of our 100 people said Paul Mariner.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14It's right.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Oh, very well done, Andy. Single figures.
0:22:23 > 0:22:258 for Paul Mariner.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Very well done indeed.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Yeah, Paul Mariner, centre forward. Used to play for Ipswich Town.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- Very good answer, Andy. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34We're halfway through the round.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Let's look at the scores as they stand. Andy and David.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38Lovely low score there from Andy.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40So you're looking pretty strong at this stage.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Up to 17, great score from you, Jo.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44Jane and Owen, a little bit
0:22:44 > 0:22:46exposed, there, I'd say.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47Out on 100 points.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49So, Owen, quite a burden
0:22:49 > 0:22:50on your shoulders, I'd say.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53But anything can happen in the next pass. You never know.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54We'll come back down the line.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Second players, please take your places at the podium.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Remember, we are looking for the names of any members
0:23:02 > 0:23:04of the England 1982 World Cup squad,
0:23:04 > 0:23:06as pictured here.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10And, David, as always, you're going to try and find the one you think
0:23:10 > 0:23:11the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13How are you feeling about this?
0:23:13 > 0:23:14Are you good on football as well?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Were you collecting stickers around about now?
0:23:16 > 0:23:17No.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20I was watching Middlesbrough.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22They didn't have an international footballer.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24LAUGHTER
0:23:24 > 0:23:26I'm going to go for Viv Anderson.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Viv Anderson, says David.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Viv Anderson. Here is your red line.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34If you can score 91 or less, you're through to the head-to-head.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Viv Anderson.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42It's right and you're through.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Another great answer. Look at that!
0:23:47 > 0:23:494! Very well done.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51CHEERING
0:23:51 > 0:23:52Taking your total up to 12.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Well done, David.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Well played, David. Another very good answer on that last podium.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00The great Viv Anderson, there he is.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02The first black player to ever
0:24:02 > 0:24:04represent England in a full international.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06OK. Now then, Owen.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Quite a lot of pressure on you.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10You are high scorers.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Yeah, unfortunately I'm not much of an England football fan,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17being Welsh and being born in 1982, so...
0:24:18 > 0:24:20..I think in the top left-hand corner
0:24:20 > 0:24:22it's Tony Adams.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Tony Adams, says Owen. Let's see if that's right.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27No red line for you, as you are the high scorers, but Tony Adams,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30let's see how far down the board it can take you if it's right.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34Oooh. No, bad luck.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37I'm afraid an incorrect answer, which means you score
0:24:37 > 0:24:39the maximum of 100 points,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41taking your total up to 200.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Sorry, Owen, I can see what you mean,
0:24:43 > 0:24:46but it's a bit before Tony Adams's time, 1982.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47So, Nici. Great news.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- NICI:- Phew!
0:24:49 > 0:24:52You are through to the head-to-head.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Even if you score 100 points, you won't overtake
0:24:54 > 0:24:56the high score of Owen and Jane. You're on 17.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58So, there we are. Now, football.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01You, I notice, stood back and let Jo go first.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- Is that because you're pretty good on this?- No. I don't know football.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07So, I'm going for a random name,
0:25:07 > 0:25:10just cos I hope he was playing that early. Kevin Keegan.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Kevin Keegan, says Nici. No red line for you,
0:25:13 > 0:25:17you're already through, but let's see if Kevin Keegan's right and how many said it if he is.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21Absolutely right.
0:25:24 > 0:25:2645.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28APPLAUSE
0:25:28 > 0:25:3045 takes your total up to 62.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- Very well done, Nici. - Good work, Nici.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Could have gone a lot worse.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Yeah, there he is, in the middle of the front row,
0:25:36 > 0:25:38playing for Southampton at the time.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Now, there's only one pointless answer up there.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43I know some people at home, this would have been a write-off,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45and other people at home will have tried to get all 22
0:25:45 > 0:25:47and some of you will have succeeded.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48Let's go through some of them.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51The pointless answer up there on the top row, third from the right,
0:25:51 > 0:25:55is the Aston Villa forward Peter Withe.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58So well done if you said Peter Withe. That's the pointless answer.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Graham Rix would have scored you 2. There he is in the middle row.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04The second along. You would have scored 3 points for Steve Foster,
0:26:04 > 0:26:07the Brighton centre-back. There he is at the top row.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10The one you thought was Tony Adams was Bryan Robson
0:26:10 > 0:26:12in the top left, there. That would have scored 10 points.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15And the three biggest scorers, well, Keegan, scored 45,
0:26:15 > 0:26:16he's the biggest of all.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19But Glenn Hoddle would have scored you 23.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22There he is, on the top. And Peter Shilton.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24There he is, Peter Shilton, would have scored you 31.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Very well done to anybody at home who got all 22 of those.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28I'm sure some people did.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31If you only got one or two of them, well done as well.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32Let's move on to the new round.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33LAUGHTER
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Thanks, Richard. So, at the end of Round Two,
0:26:35 > 0:26:38I'm afraid our losing pair, with their high score
0:26:38 > 0:26:40of 200 points...
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Listen, what a shame. It's a tough round, that one.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44But you made it through to the
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- second round, which is good.- Yes.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48I'm sorry, this time we have to say goodbye.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50This really is goodbye. It's been great having you here.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Owen and Jane, thanks so much for playing.- Thank you.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56APPLAUSE
0:26:56 > 0:26:57But, for the two remaining pairs,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00they're getting one step closer to the final and a chance of
0:27:00 > 0:27:02taking home the jackpot, as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Congratulations, Jo and Nici, David and Andy,
0:27:10 > 0:27:12you're now only one round away from the final and a chance to
0:27:12 > 0:27:15play for that jackpot, which currently stands at...
0:27:17 > 0:27:19AUDIENCE: Oooh!
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Now, clearly, only one pair can play for that money,
0:27:23 > 0:27:25so we have to decide which pair it's going to be.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27To do that, we're now going to go head-to-head.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29This time, you're allowed to confer.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32The first pair to win two questions will be going through
0:27:32 > 0:27:34to the final and playing for the jackpot.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37As I always say in this round, anything can happen. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46OK, here is your first question and it concerns...
0:27:50 > 0:27:51Places In Scotland, Richard.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Quite simply, we'll show you five anagrams
0:27:54 > 0:27:55of towns or cities in Scotland.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Can you unscramble them
0:27:57 > 0:27:59and choose the most obscure. Good luck.
0:27:59 > 0:28:00OK. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Let's reveal our five Scottish anagrams and here they are.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04We've got...
0:28:13 > 0:28:15I'll read those all one last time...
0:28:19 > 0:28:20Now then, Jo and Nici.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23You've played best throughout the show so far, so you go first.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27- JO WHISPERS:- Kilmarnock. - NICI:- Glasgow.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31THEY WHISPER INDISTINCTLY
0:28:31 > 0:28:32- JO WHISPERS:- I'd say Kilmarnock.
0:28:32 > 0:28:37Glasgow's the only other one I recognise, so Kilmarnock.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41We're going to go for Normal Kick being Kilmarnock.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Normal Kick, Kilmarnock, say Jo and Nici.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48David and Andy. You can talk us through the board if you like, David and Andy.
0:28:49 > 0:28:54Disappointed that Normal Kick went, because I used live there.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Second one's Glasgow.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Not sure of the second two.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59The last one's Elgin.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03- So it's got to be Elgin. - You're going to go for Elgin.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06OK, so Jo and Nici went for Kilmarnock,
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Andy and David have gone for Elgin.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Kilmarnock, let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:29:13 > 0:29:14Absolutely right.
0:29:19 > 0:29:2032.
0:29:23 > 0:29:2432 for Kilmarnock.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28David and Andy have translated Nigel into Elgin.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said Elgin.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35It's right.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Oh, is it going to beat...
0:29:39 > 0:29:40Oh, no, it's not. 35.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42APPLAUSE
0:29:44 > 0:29:4735 for Elgin, which means, after one question, Jo and Nici,
0:29:47 > 0:29:50you are up one-nil. Well done. Richard.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Unlucky, gents. There's a couple of answers that would have won it for you.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Glasgow wouldn't. You were right that Slow Gag was Glasgow,
0:29:56 > 0:29:58but that would have scored you 74.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Do you know any of the other two? Uncured Lamb?
0:30:01 > 0:30:04It's near Glasgow. It's Cumbernauld.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07That would have scored you 4. Now, Red Beans is a pointless answer.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Very well done if you got it.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13Very well done if you're sitting there at this very moment. Bearsden.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16- Also near Glasgow. Pointless answer.- Very good.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20Here comes your second question and it concerns:
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Charles Dickens, Richard.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Yeah, we're about to show you five clues to facts about Charles Dickens.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Which is the most obscure of these?
0:30:29 > 0:30:32OK, let's reveal our five clues to facts about Dickens
0:30:32 > 0:30:34and here they come. We have got:
0:30:49 > 0:30:53There we are. Five clues to facts about Dickens. I'll read them again.
0:31:04 > 0:31:05There we are.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09Five clues to facts about Dickens and, David and Andy, you go first.
0:31:12 > 0:31:17- We're going to go for Little Dorrit. - Little Dorrit, you're going to say.
0:31:17 > 0:31:22The only female title character of a novel. Now then, Jo and Nici.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Talk us through the board, if you can.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28The title of the novel adapted into a musical is Oliver.
0:31:28 > 0:31:34- His pen-name for his literary sketches, I believe, is Boz.- Is it?
0:31:34 > 0:31:37He's buried in Westminster Abbey?
0:31:37 > 0:31:42- The only one I know is Boz. - Are you sure?- I'm pretty confident.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44- Shall we go for it then?- Boz.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- Go on, then. - His literary pen-name is Boz.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50You're going to say Boz was his literary pen-name.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53So we have Little Dorrit, we have Boz.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Andy and David, this is the one you have to win to stay in the game.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59You said Little Dorrit as the only female title character of a novel.
0:31:59 > 0:32:04Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Little Dorrit.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06It's right.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10It's right. How far down is it going to go? It's a good answer.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14- Look at that. Down it goes to 18. Very well done. - APPLAUSE
0:32:16 > 0:32:21Very well done indeed. Is that going to keep you in the game, I wonder?
0:32:21 > 0:32:25Jo and Nici have said Boz is his pen-name used for literary sketches.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Let's see if that's right and, if it's right,
0:32:28 > 0:32:31is it going to be 18? Boz, how many people said it?
0:32:33 > 0:32:35It is right.
0:32:35 > 0:32:3918 to beat. Down it goes. Yes, you've done it.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Very well done indeed. 11 for Boz.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44APPLAUSE
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Very well done indeed, Jo and Nici.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50After only two questions, you are through to the final, two-nil.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54- Brilliant, Richard.- Very well played. Well played, both teams, on both questions.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58Boz, Charles Dickens' pen-name used for his literary sketches.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01The title of the novel was Oliver Twist.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03That would have scored you 45.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Place of worship in which he is buried, you're right,
0:33:05 > 0:33:09it's Westminster Abbey. But it would have scored you 22.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13- And the first novel first published serially from 1836?- Pickwick Papers.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15That would have scored you 5 points.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- The best answer on the board. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22Our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is David and Andy.
0:33:22 > 0:33:28You did so well. You was robbed in many ways! Elgin, a cracking answer.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30- You thought they'd won with Elgin.- Definitely.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Little Dorrit, a brilliant answer. But in both cases
0:33:33 > 0:33:37you were just pipped by the brilliance of Jo and Nici.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41Anyway, set fair for a great game next time. See you then.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43I'm sure you will do as well, if not better.
0:33:43 > 0:33:49- In the meantime, thanks very much for playing. David and Andy. - APPLAUSE
0:33:49 > 0:33:52But for Jo and Nici, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55APPLAUSE
0:33:57 > 0:34:01Congratulations, Jo and Nici. You fought off the competition
0:34:01 > 0:34:04and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:34:10 > 0:34:14and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £11,250.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17APPLAUSE
0:34:19 > 0:34:22You have done so well. What would round it all off?
0:34:22 > 0:34:24What would be the best category for this round?
0:34:24 > 0:34:28- Flavours of fudge would be good. - Wouldn't it?
0:34:28 > 0:34:31- Seth MacFarlane cartoons. - It could be.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34They're usually quite specific on this last round.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38- It's specific. - OK, let's see what comes up. Best of luck. The rules are very simple.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41To win the money, you have to find a pointless answer.
0:34:41 > 0:34:45Do that and you will go home with that £11,250.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48First you have to choose a category. Here are your five options.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50You've got:
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Film awards is the only one.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Yeah, we can only go for film awards.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05I don't think there's anything else there. Hip-hop stars? No.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Oh, I'm down with that.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11- Film awards.- Film awards it is. OK.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:35:13 > 0:35:18We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many:
0:35:20 > 0:35:24We're looking for the name of anybody who's been nominated
0:35:24 > 0:35:27for the Academy award for Best Actress or Best Supporting Actress
0:35:27 > 0:35:32all the way from the 2000 ceremony right through to the 2012 ceremony. Very best of luck.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:35:35 > 0:35:39and all you need to win the jackpot of £11,250 is for just
0:35:39 > 0:35:42one of those answers to be pointless.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46- Are you ready?- Yes. - Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50There they are. Your 60 seconds start now.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54We got Marlee Matlin. We've got Glenda Jackson.
0:35:54 > 0:36:01- Shirley MacLaine.- Has Shirley MacLaine been since...2000?
0:36:01 > 0:36:03- Is it since 2000?- Yes.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06- OK, so... - Just cleaned your list off.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09- Marlee Matlin, I think was Children Of A Lesser God.- That's...
0:36:09 > 0:36:14- I'm pretty sure that was... - I don't know...- ..after then.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18I can only think of really obvious ones, like....
0:36:18 > 0:36:21I can't think of any of them!
0:36:21 > 0:36:25- Helen Mirren?- Yes. - Meryl Streep. For The Queen.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29- Doesn't matter what it's for. - Whatever it was.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33Helena Bonham Carter? Did she get a nomination for...?
0:36:33 > 0:36:37Yeah, I suspect she did. Either Sweeney Todd or something.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40- Remains Of The Day? - The King's Speech?
0:36:40 > 0:36:41Ten seconds left.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45What are we going to go for? Marlee Matlin.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48OK, Helena Bonham Carter.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51And... Meryl Streep.
0:36:51 > 0:36:52OK.
0:36:52 > 0:36:58We're looking for Oscar-nominated actresses of the 21st century. I now need your three answers.
0:36:58 > 0:37:03- Meryl Streep.- Meryl Streep. - Marlee Matlin.- Marlee Matlin.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- Helena Bonham Carter.- Helena Bonham Carter.- And Helena Bonham Carter.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10Of those three, which do you think is your best chance at a pointless?
0:37:10 > 0:37:14- Marlee, because I've never heard of her.- OK, Marlee Matlin, we'll put her last.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- Which is your least likely shot? - Meryl Streep.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Meryl Streep we shall put first.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22Let's pop those up on the board in that order.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24And here they are, we have got:
0:37:28 > 0:37:32We were looking for 21st-century Oscar-nominated actresses.
0:37:32 > 0:37:37Your first answer, Meryl Streep, was your least confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:37:37 > 0:37:42You only have to find one pointless to win the jackpot of £11,250.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Let's see, Meryl Streep. Is it right, how many people said it?
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Absolutely right.
0:37:50 > 0:37:55Meryl Streep kicking us off very well there. Down she goes.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59Through the 40s, into the 30s, into the 20s, into the teens.
0:37:59 > 0:38:0013.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03APPLAUSE
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Not bad, 13, for Meryl Streep.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Probably, I would have thought everyone's first choice
0:38:09 > 0:38:11of Oscar-nominated actress.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14I think that's quite reassuring for your later answers.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Only two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Now then, Jo, £11,250, getting quite close to
0:38:20 > 0:38:23one of our biggest-ever jackpots, what would you do with that?
0:38:23 > 0:38:27My son's told me I have to take him to Disneyland Paris.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31- He's ordered it.- OK.- But I've promised myself a tattooed gun.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35I just need to find a willing victim now.
0:38:35 > 0:38:40- Have you done a course on tattooing? - No.- You learn as you go along.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Learn on your son.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45There you are. He's a blank canvas.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- They tend to wiggle at that age. - True, true.
0:38:48 > 0:38:54- Nici?- I would probably use it to replace my poor little squashed car.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58- What happened to your car? - Someone drove into it.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00So I think it might be jinxed a bit.
0:39:00 > 0:39:05- I might have to buy another even smaller car.- OK, very best of luck.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08We're looking for Oscar-nominated actresses of the 21st century.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Helena Bonham Carter.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15If this is right and pointless, you will win the jackpot of £11,250.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Let's find out how many people said Helena Bonham Carter.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23It's also right.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Now then, Meryl Streep took us down to 13.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Helena Bonham Carter is now going to take us down through the 20s,
0:39:29 > 0:39:33into the teens, still going down into single figures. Down she goes.
0:39:33 > 0:39:34Oh, four!
0:39:34 > 0:39:38APPLAUSE
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Four.
0:39:41 > 0:39:46Oh, this is very good indeed. This is winning territory, I think.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50On your second answer, you hit four. Everything is now resting on your last answer.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56We were looking for Oscar-nominated actresses of the 21st century.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Your third and final answer, Marlee Matlin,
0:39:59 > 0:40:03you thought was your most confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06That's what it has to be for you to win the jackpot.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09So, for £11,250, let's see how many people said Marlee Matlin.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Oh, no!
