0:00:20 > 0:00:23Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:23 > 0:00:29Welcome to Pointless, where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:31 > 0:00:37- Couple number one...- Hi, I'm Jenna. This is my nan Susan. We've come from Bishop's Stortford.
0:00:37 > 0:00:43- Couple number two...- I'm Louise and this is my friend Natasha from the West Midlands.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47- Couple number three...- Hi. My name's Toby. This is my mate Jak. We're from Wiltshire.
0:00:47 > 0:00:53- Finally, couple number four... - Hi, I'm Charlotte. This is my brother Toby and we're from Surrey.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03Thanks all of you. That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:03 > 0:01:09A man so smart he can answer rhetorical questions. It's my Pointless friend, Richard.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18But can I?
0:01:18 > 0:01:19LAUGHTER
0:01:19 > 0:01:24- How are you this afternoon? - Very well, thank you.- Should be fun.
0:01:24 > 0:01:31We have two returning pairs - Susan and Jenna, grandmother and granddaughter. We like that.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Knocked out in the first round last time. We want to see more of you.
0:01:35 > 0:01:40And Toby and Jak are back. They'll be a tough pair to beat today.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45Thanks very much. All our questions have been put to 100 people.
0:01:45 > 0:01:51Our contestants need to find the obscure answers they didn't get. Everyone wants a pointless answer
0:01:51 > 0:01:55that none of them gave. That adds £250 to the jackpot.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Greg and Sam didn't win the jackpot so we add another £1,000 to that
0:01:59 > 0:02:04and today's jackpot starts off at £3,000.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16I'll take an answer from each of you, but there's no conferring.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Whichever pair has the highest score will be heading home.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Our first category today is... Politics.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Can you all decide who is going to go first and who's going second?
0:02:28 > 0:02:33And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Women In Politics.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45- Richard?- In each pass, we'll show you seven clues to famous females from the world of politics
0:02:45 > 0:02:51in the UK and the rest of the world. Give us the most obscure answer. 14 in all to have a go at.
0:02:51 > 0:02:58OK, thanks. We want the names of the famous female politicians described by these clues.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00HE READS THE LIST
0:03:18 > 0:03:20I'll read those all one last time.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45There we are. Seven clues to seven famous female politicians.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Jenna and Susan, you all drew lots and you are going to go first.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Jenna...you're going to kick us off. What happened last time, Jenna?
0:03:53 > 0:03:58Em, we had the category of countries with the first vowel of E.
0:03:58 > 0:04:05- You went for Ethiopia. - It began with an E.- Great answer. But it scored 42. A very high score.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- Yes.- Most unfair. Remind us what you do, Jenna.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- I'm studying music journalism. - Very good.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Now what about these female politicians?
0:04:16 > 0:04:22The minute politics came up, I knew I was in trouble. I have no idea. I don't know who any of them are.
0:04:22 > 0:04:29- It's not the easiest board we've ever had.- No, I'm just hoping other people go blank as well.
0:04:29 > 0:04:36I'll have to make up a name and guess and say the London Olympic one, Shelley Johnson. I don't know.
0:04:36 > 0:04:43Shelley Johnson, says Jenna. Let's see if Shelley Johnson's right and, if it is, how many said it.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Oh, bad luck! Sorry, Jenna.
0:04:47 > 0:04:53That's an incorrect answer. That scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:04:53 > 0:05:00- It may not be the last 100. - Sorry, Jenna. A lot of work for Susan to do in pass two.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- Thanks, Richard. Louise, welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:05:03 > 0:05:09- You are from Burton on Trent. - That's right.- And what do you do? - I'm a librarian in a university.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14- How long have you done that for? - I've been a librarian for 13 years.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19- Is that a faculty library or more general?- It's a school of health and wellbeing,
0:05:19 > 0:05:25- so we mainly cover nursing and midwifery.- What about this board of female politicians?
0:05:25 > 0:05:33- Politics is not my strong point either. I think Natasha will be better.- Oh, see what she did there?!
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- She just passed the buck. - Lot of pressure.
0:05:36 > 0:05:42- So my mind's gone blank on quite a few that I should know. - Don't worry. Take your time.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Have a look down that board.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50I'm going to say a female German politician and hope that's the right one.
0:05:50 > 0:05:56- So I'm going to say Angela Merkel. - Let's see if Angela Merkel's right and how many said it.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Absolutely right.
0:06:03 > 0:06:0435!
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- 35 gets us off the blocks with Angela Merkel.- Well played.
0:06:10 > 0:06:16She was elected in 2005, re-elected in 2009. First female Chancellor of Germany.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Thanks, Richard. Jak...- Hi. - Welcome back.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24- You've done something to your hair again.- I know.- It looked different.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27It's like it's defying gravity, Jak.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- It's gone out on a limb. - I tend to do that.
0:06:31 > 0:06:37The person who I remember having hair like that when they were 17, maybe 18, was you.
0:06:37 > 0:06:44- You did. I've got a picture of you with hair like that.- Yeah, maybe. - Also, last time we discovered
0:06:44 > 0:06:51- that you play in a band called The Shots.- Yeah.- What else do you do when you're not doing that?
0:06:51 > 0:06:57- I'm quite a big scuba diver. - Really? Good stuff. Well done. Well, we are looking at this board
0:06:57 > 0:07:02of female politicians. No one so far has enjoyed it. How do you feel?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05I'm in the same boat!
0:07:05 > 0:07:07There is one I think I know.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12I've seen her in politics a lot with Obama, so I hope this is right.
0:07:12 > 0:07:18Obama nominated her as Secretary of State in 2008. I think it's Hillary Clinton.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Hillary Clinton. Is it right? How many said it?
0:07:23 > 0:07:27It is right. 35 is our low score, 100 our high.
0:07:27 > 0:07:3240 is what you get for Hillary Clinton. Well done. Good answer.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Well played, Jak. Some brilliant women on this list. She is one.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43- They say she might run for President next time round.- She may.
0:07:43 > 0:07:50- Charlotte, welcome to Pointless. What do you do?- I'm a chartered accountant.- A chartered accountant.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- For a large accountancy firm? - No, for a small business.- Good stuff.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59- What else do you do?- I enjoy playing tennis or trying to play.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04I enjoy trying to play. I've never played, only tried.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09Now what are you going to go for? You can talk us through it and fill in all the blanks.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14- I'd love to, but no. - It's a tough board.- Yeah.
0:08:14 > 0:08:20And I know nothing about politics. I'm just going to have to say, short of making up a name,
0:08:20 > 0:08:26- Cherie Blair for Olympic bid, which I know it's not. - Cherie Blair, OK.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- I've no idea.- Secretary of State. OK.
0:08:29 > 0:08:35We'll go with that. Let's find out. How many people said Cherie Blair? Is it right?
0:08:36 > 0:08:41Bad luck, Charlotte. Always awkward when you have to make something up.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44It was a game effort. Incorrect. Scores 100 points.
0:08:44 > 0:08:50The Secretary of State in question was Tessa Jowell. She'd have scored 13 points.
0:08:50 > 0:08:56The best answer is the Liberian President elected in 2005.
0:08:56 > 0:09:02She won the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize. First elected female head of state in Africa. She beat George Weah.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07It was Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. Very well done if you said it. One point.
0:09:07 > 0:09:13- Ireland's first female president is...- Mary Robinson.- Seven points.
0:09:13 > 0:09:19- Prime Minister of Israel at 70? - Golda Meir.- Golda Meir. Yep, would have scored 11.
0:09:19 > 0:09:25And another good scorer here with the wife of Sidney. It's Sidney and Beatrice Webb.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- That got three points there. - Thank you very much.
0:09:29 > 0:09:35We're halfway through. Let's look at those scores. 35, Louise, best score of that pass.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Natasha, not so much pressure on you. Well done.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41At 40, Jak and Toby M.
0:09:41 > 0:09:47Then up to 100 for Jenna and Susan and Charlotte and Toby H. It's going to be Toby versus Susan!
0:09:47 > 0:09:53We'll come back down the line. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:09:53 > 0:09:58OK, we'll put seven more clues on the board. We have got...
0:09:58 > 0:10:00HE READS THE LIST
0:10:18 > 0:10:21I'll read those all one last time.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41There we are. Seven more clues to famous female politicians.
0:10:41 > 0:10:47Toby H, you are joint high scorers. You have to score as low as you possibly can
0:10:47 > 0:10:53- to keep you and Charlotte in the game. Welcome. What do you do? - I'm a veterinary surgeon.- A vet?
0:10:53 > 0:10:59- You've done all your training? It goes on for years.- Five years.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03I qualified a couple of summers ago. I work in a small animal practice.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08- Enjoying it?- Yeah, it's good. - Vets generally love it.
0:11:08 > 0:11:13They go into it because they've always been interested. Toby, what do you make of this board?
0:11:13 > 0:11:18I only really know the obvious one, which I think I'll have to go with.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Margaret Thatcher, the only female British Prime Minister.
0:11:22 > 0:11:30- Remember I said you have to score as low as you possibly can? - I don't know the others!- OK.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35Margaret Thatcher says Toby H. Is that right? How many said it?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39It's right.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- 81.- Better than 100.
0:11:42 > 0:11:48- 81. 181 is your total, Toby. - Some people are having trouble with this round
0:11:48 > 0:11:53perhaps because of the difficulty of being a female in politics.
0:11:53 > 0:11:59A lot of the names are well worth reading up on. Some genuinely brilliant life stories and women.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- Good point. Now, Toby M...- Yes. - You are through to the next round.
0:12:03 > 0:12:08- Music to my ears.- This is good. Toby, remind us what you do.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12I'm a student, studying the IB in my second year of sixth form.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17- And what are you hoping to do? - I'm looking to go on to university,
0:12:17 > 0:12:24but I'm hoping to go out to Malaysia for three years. There's a university with a course that interests me.
0:12:24 > 0:12:30- You'd do your undergraduate course in Malaysia?- Yeah, hopefully. - What's the course?
0:12:30 > 0:12:35- International communications with English literature. - Good stuff. Best of luck with that.
0:12:35 > 0:12:41You are on 40 and through to the next round, even if you score 100 points.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45- Now how do we feel about this board? - I knew Margaret Thatcher,
0:12:45 > 0:12:50obviously, and there's two more that I think I know.
0:12:50 > 0:12:56One I'm pretty sure with and then there's another I'm not too sure with
0:12:56 > 0:13:00but just to test myself and because I'm interested in whether I know,
0:13:00 > 0:13:05I'll say first woman to become US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
0:13:05 > 0:13:11Condoleezza Rice says Toby. No red line. Is that right? How many said Condoleezza Rice?
0:13:14 > 0:13:21Oh. Not Condoleezza Rice. Scores you the maximum of 100 points and takes your total to 140.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26Sorry, Toby. You won't be the only person who said that. She was the second.
0:13:26 > 0:13:33- There was someone else before her. - Natasha, good news. You are also through to the next round,
0:13:33 > 0:13:40- which gives you a bit of a safety net. Natasha, what do you do? - I'm also a librarian.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- Did you meet through librarianing? - Yes, we did.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48We used to work together at the university.
0:13:48 > 0:13:54Whispered conversations. I imagine that's how librarians meet. "Hi."
0:13:55 > 0:14:00- "What's your new colleague like?" "Very quiet."- "Good. We like them."
0:14:00 > 0:14:04How are you feeling? Louise bigged you up on this round.
0:14:04 > 0:14:10She said you'd be very good. There's a board, almost empty. Take your pick.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14OK, there are a few there that I think I could answer.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17One I'm not sure about because I'd not get the name right,
0:14:17 > 0:14:23so I'm going to go for one of the SDP Gang of Four. Shirley Williams?
0:14:23 > 0:14:30Shirley Williams, says Natasha. Is that right? No red line, but how many people said it?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33It's right.
0:14:37 > 0:14:3921. Very well done indeed.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44Takes your total up to 56. The lowest total by some margin.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49Terrific answer, Natasha. The granddaughter of a suffragette.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Susan, we have a game on our hands. You have to score 80 or less.
0:14:53 > 0:14:5880 or less. I think you can do it. I'm going to stick my neck out.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- I'm not so sure.- Talk us through your answers. The board's all yours.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06I know first names. John McCain's running mate was Sarah somebody.
0:15:06 > 0:15:14The first woman to become US Secretary of State, I think, was Madeleine... Oh, Madeleine Albright.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18- Is that the one?- That's my answer! - Madeleine Albright, says Susan. Sounds good to me.
0:15:18 > 0:15:25Let's find out. Here is your red line. Below that, you're through. How many people said that?
0:15:26 > 0:15:30It's right! And you are through. Very well done, Susan.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Three for Madeleine Albright!
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Brilliant answer. Takes your total up to 103.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45- Very well done.- Great answer. You knew it was in there somewhere.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50- Yes!- She was before Condoleezza Rice, but a lot of people said her.
0:15:50 > 0:15:56John McCain's running mate. The first name was Sarah. Can you remember the surname?
0:15:56 > 0:16:01- Go on.- It's Sarah Palin.- It is. That would have scored you 18.
0:16:01 > 0:16:08- The Prime Minister of India who was assassinated in 1984? - Indira Gandhi.- Would have scored 34.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Became head of the IMF in 2011?
0:16:11 > 0:16:16- Christian Lagarde.- Christine Lagarde. Became head of the IMF.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Elected first female President of Brazil in 2010. A pointless answer.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24It is Dilma Rousseff. Very well done if you said it. Terrific answer.
0:16:24 > 0:16:31Thank you very much indeed. So the pair heading home with a high score of 181 is Toby and Charlotte.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36That was a really tough first round. Baptism by fire, I would say.
0:16:36 > 0:16:43- Politics not my strong point. - Not many people's strong point, but you did admirably well.
0:16:43 > 0:16:50Tolerably well. But you'll be back next time and I promise you we won't have female politicians in that.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55Toby and Charlotte, thanks for playing. Great contestants.
0:16:55 > 0:17:00But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07Only three pairs remain. At the end of this round, we lose another pair.
0:17:07 > 0:17:13This promises to be an excellent round. You each have an advantage.
0:17:13 > 0:17:20Toby and Jak are a returning pair, Jenna and Susan, you are a returning pair as well,
0:17:20 > 0:17:24and Susan gave us the lowest-scoring answer,
0:17:24 > 0:17:28and Louise and Natasha gave the lowest scores as a pair.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:30 > 0:17:37Our category for Round Two is... the Oscars. Can you all decide who is going to go first and second?
0:17:38 > 0:17:43And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46OK. And the question concerns...
0:17:46 > 0:17:502013 Oscar nominations. 2013 Oscar nominations, Richard?
0:17:50 > 0:17:57Xander will show you five categories from the 2013 Oscars. We want the name of anyone nominated
0:17:57 > 0:18:02- in any of these categories. Very best of luck.- OK.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07So we'll put five categories up. They'll remain for the entire round.
0:18:07 > 0:18:14Each of you has to name anyone who was nominated in any of those categories in 2013.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18OK, and here is the board. Here are the categories.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20HE READS THE LIST
0:18:23 > 0:18:25I'll read those one final time.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34There we are. Anyone nominated in any of those categories in 2013. Jenna?
0:18:34 > 0:18:42Right. One came to my head immediately that I can go for with those categories.
0:18:42 > 0:18:48I'm trying to think who would be nominated. Yeah, I'll just go for my first instinct
0:18:48 > 0:18:54- and say Anne Hathaway for Best Actress.- Anne Hathaway. Let's see if that's right
0:18:54 > 0:18:57and how many of our 100 said it.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00It's right.
0:19:04 > 0:19:0624!
0:19:09 > 0:19:1124 for Anne Hathaway.
0:19:11 > 0:19:17Yes. Nominated for Best Supporting Actress and she won it, but it's a right answer.
0:19:17 > 0:19:23- She did that Susan Boyle cover version.- Yes, she did. And did nearly as well as SuBo.
0:19:23 > 0:19:30- Yeah...do you think? - Why didn't they cast SuBo? - They couldn't afford her.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- Could not afford her.- Good point.
0:19:33 > 0:19:39- Louise, what are you going to go for?- I'm going to go for Ang Lee for Best Director.- Ang Lee.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Let's see if that's right and how many said it.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47It is, of course, right.
0:19:48 > 0:19:5024 our best score.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54Passes that... 10! Very well done, Louise.
0:19:56 > 0:20:02- 10 for Ang Lee.- Well played. He won Best Director for Life of Pi.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07- He also won for Brokeback Mountain. Have you seen Life of Pi?- I have. - It's good.- Excellent.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11- I thought it was great. - Now Jak...- Hello.
0:20:11 > 0:20:18- What are you going to go for? - I've got a few names in my head. I want one people wouldn't think of.
0:20:18 > 0:20:23I know a winner, which will probably be quite high.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28- I'm going to go for Jennifer Lawrence. - Jennifer Lawrence says Jak.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jennifer Lawrence.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36It's correct!
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Good answer. Down it goes to 18.
0:20:45 > 0:20:52Again, another winner. Jennifer Lawrence won Best Actress for Silver Linings Playbook.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Famously tripped up on her way.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00Thanks. We're halfway through. 10 was the best score, Louise. Well done.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Louise and Natasha looking pretty strong on the strength of that.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Up to 18, Jak and Toby. Then 24, Jenna and Susan.
0:21:08 > 0:21:14You're not far ahead, but Susan, we need a nice low score from you to make it to the head to head.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:21:21 > 0:21:28OK, so Toby, we are looking for anyone nominated for an Oscar in 2013 under any of these categories.
0:21:28 > 0:21:33You're on 18. The high scorers are on 24, so five or less
0:21:33 > 0:21:37would prevent you from becoming the new high scorers.
0:21:37 > 0:21:45OK, well, I've got a few names going around and I think I know the person who won the Best Supporting Actor.
0:21:45 > 0:21:51I've also got a director who'd be quite obscure, but whether he was nominated... His film was,
0:21:51 > 0:21:56but that's something different. So, to play it safe, I think,
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I'm going to go Christoph Waltz.
0:21:59 > 0:22:04- Christoph Waltz.- That's the one. - OK, here's your red line. Quite low.
0:22:04 > 0:22:10But that's a great answer. Let's see if it's right and how many people said Christoph Waltz.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14It's correct.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23Good work, Toby! Look at that! One for Christoph Waltz. Brilliant.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Great answer. Takes your total up to 19 and through you go.
0:22:27 > 0:22:34Well played, Toby. Won his second Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in Django Unchained.
0:22:34 > 0:22:39- He's brilliant in that.- Brilliant. - So we've had four winners.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42No one who was just nominated.
0:22:42 > 0:22:50Natasha, there's a gauntlet thrown down. On 10. 24 the high score, so 13 or less sees you through.
0:22:50 > 0:22:58Okey-dokey. I'll go for one who might have been nominated. I hope she's been nominated!
0:22:58 > 0:23:03- I'll go for Sally Field. - Sally Field, says Natasha. Here's your red line.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07Let's see if Sally Field's right and if it gets you below that red line.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11It's right.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19You're through. Three! Very well done indeed, Natasha.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25- Three for Sally Field takes your total to 13.- Natasha's good.
0:23:25 > 0:23:31- Very good.- Two rounds in a row. Nominated for Best Supporting Actress. Won two Oscars previously.
0:23:31 > 0:23:38Thanks, Richard. Now then, Susan, I'm afraid this time that even a brilliant Susan answer
0:23:38 > 0:23:44isn't going to save you. You're on 24, you're the high scorers even before you give your answer.
0:23:44 > 0:23:52Well, I haven't got a brilliant answer. I don't even know if he was nominated, but Hugh Jackman.
0:23:52 > 0:23:58Hugh Jackman, says Susan. Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many said it.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01No red line for you.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03It's right.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Five! That's a great answer. And a lovely score, Susan.
0:24:12 > 0:24:18- But I'm afraid it comes too late. Takes you to 29.- Nominated for Best Actor. His first nomination.
0:24:18 > 0:24:24Probably not his last. There's a few pointless answers. Let's take a look at them,
0:24:24 > 0:24:30see if you got any of these at home. Alan Arkin, nominated for Best Supporting Oscar for Argo.
0:24:30 > 0:24:36Benh Zeitlin, who directed Beasts of the Southern Wild. David O Russell, director of Silver Linings Playbook.
0:24:36 > 0:24:42That was a pointless answer. Emmanuelle Riva, nominated for Best Actress for Amour. Jacki Weaver,
0:24:42 > 0:24:47nominated for Best Supporting Actress for Silver Linings Playbook.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49And Michael Haneke, terrific answer.
0:24:49 > 0:24:57Let's look at some of the other low scorers. Amy Adams, two. Helen Hunt, three, for Best Supporting Actress.
0:24:57 > 0:25:04Philip Seymour Hoffman, Tommy Lee Jones both scored one. Robert De Niro would've scored two.
0:25:04 > 0:25:11Actor In A Leading Role - Denzel Washington, two points. Directors - Spielberg, nine points.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15Let's look at the top three answers. We've already heard two of them.
0:25:15 > 0:25:21Jennifer Lawrence, 18. Anne Hathaway, 24. We only missed out one winner.
0:25:21 > 0:25:27He's at the top of the leaderboard. Winner of Best Actor - Daniel Day-Lewis, 30 points.
0:25:27 > 0:25:34Thanks, Richard. At the end of our second round, Susan and Jenna, we have to say goodbye to you.
0:25:34 > 0:25:40I'm so sorry. Great low score. I'm afraid we have to say goodbye, but it's been lovely having you.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- Susan and Jenna.- Thank you.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48But for the remaining two pairs it's now time for the Head to Head.
0:25:51 > 0:25:57Congratulations, Louise and Natasha, Toby and Jak. You're one step closer to playing for our jackpot,
0:25:57 > 0:26:00which currently stands at £3,000.
0:26:03 > 0:26:09To decide which pair is going to play for that, you now go head to head and you can now confer.
0:26:09 > 0:26:15The first pair to win two questions play for the jackpot. Toby and Jak, how do you feel about your rivals?
0:26:15 > 0:26:20- They've played a good one. - They sure have.- Whatever will be.
0:26:20 > 0:26:27Well, actually, both teams have played incredibly well so far. This will be very closely fought.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the Head to Head.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...Clocks.
0:26:41 > 0:26:47- Clocks, Richard.- Why is that funny? - I don't know.- We'll show you five pictures of clocks or sundials,
0:26:47 > 0:26:52famous ones, and you need to tell us in which city you would find them.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56- Good luck.- OK. So let's reveal our five famous clocks.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58We have got...
0:27:14 > 0:27:19There we are. Five very famous clocks.
0:27:19 > 0:27:24Louise and Natasha, you've played best, so you get to go first.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28What are you going to go for?
0:27:28 > 0:27:32- They're tough, aren't they? - Yes, they are tough. We know two,
0:27:32 > 0:27:36but we've no idea which one might be lower. So...
0:27:36 > 0:27:40We're going to go for B and we think that's Liverpool.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44B, Liverpool. B, Liverpool.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Now, Toby and Jak, talk us through the other clocks if you can.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52We were hoping for Big Ben to come up, really!
0:27:52 > 0:27:57Em, but...D, based on the colour scheme,
0:27:57 > 0:28:03- we're going to go with Moscow. It looks a bit like the Kremlin. - OK, you're saying Moscow for D.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07OK, Moscow for D. We have Moscow versus Liverpool.
0:28:07 > 0:28:13Louise and Natasha said Liverpool. Is that right? How many of our 100 people said Liverpool?
0:28:14 > 0:28:16It's right.
0:28:20 > 0:28:2217 for Liverpool!
0:28:27 > 0:28:33The question is... is the other horse in the race going to beat it or be beaten by it?
0:28:33 > 0:28:37Toby and Jak have gone for Moscow. How many said that?
0:28:37 > 0:28:39It's right.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Is it going to beat Liverpool?
0:28:44 > 0:28:47No, it's not! 19 for Moscow!
0:28:51 > 0:28:57I said it was going to be close. Louise and Natasha, well done. You're up one-nil.
0:28:57 > 0:29:03Two very good teams here. Let's leave A to the end. A is a pointless answer.
0:29:03 > 0:29:08C is St Mark's clock in St Mark's Square, Venice. That would have scored three.
0:29:08 > 0:29:16And E is the astronomical clock in Prague on the old town hall. That would have scored you 14.
0:29:16 > 0:29:22Now the top one is the world's largest clock face. Big Ben is 23 feet across.
0:29:22 > 0:29:28That is 151 feet across and it's in Mecca. It's a pointless answer.
0:29:28 > 0:29:33- Very well done to anyone who said it.- Thanks very much.
0:29:33 > 0:29:38Toby and Jak, you answer first, but you have to win it to stay in.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41It concerns...David Bowie.
0:29:41 > 0:29:47- David Bowie, Richard.- Five clues to facts about David Bowie. What's the most obscure answer?
0:29:47 > 0:29:51OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53HE READS THE LIST
0:30:08 > 0:30:11I'll read those one last time.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30Five clues to facts about David Bowie. Toby and Jak go first.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37There's only one we think we're sure of and that's the bottom one.
0:30:37 > 0:30:43So the title of the 2009 film directed by his son, Duncan, is Moon.
0:30:43 > 0:30:49Moon say Toby and Jak. Moon. Louise and Natasha, the rest of the board is yours.
0:30:49 > 0:30:54- Talk us through it.- Toby and Jak have taken our answer!
0:30:54 > 0:30:55So...
0:30:55 > 0:30:59He was married, or he IS married, to Iman.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03I think he duetted with Queen on Under Pressure.
0:31:03 > 0:31:09And the creatures are the Spiders from Mars. So...I don't know, Louise.
0:31:09 > 0:31:16- I think we have to go with spiders. - You think so? I think a lot of people will know that.
0:31:16 > 0:31:21- Maybe they don't know who he's married to.- I think spiders.- OK. - We'll say spiders.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25Spiders from Mars. So we have Moon and Spiders from Mars.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Toby and Jak said Moon. How many said it?
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Oh, it's good.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Two!
0:31:39 > 0:31:44Well played, Toby and Jak. That might do it for you.
0:31:44 > 0:31:50Louise and Natasha have gone for the Spiders from Mars. Is it right? How many said it?
0:31:51 > 0:31:53It is right, of course.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Is it going to beat two, though?
0:31:57 > 0:31:59No, it's not! 23 for spiders.
0:31:59 > 0:32:04Well played, Toby and Jak. You're now back in the game. It's one-all.
0:32:04 > 0:32:11- Another close one.- It is. Nothing you could do. Moon is the best answer. You were right about Iman.
0:32:11 > 0:32:17It was slightly better. 22 points. You were right about Queen as well. That would have scored 41.
0:32:17 > 0:32:22- And the 2002 album?- Heathen. - That would have scored three points.
0:32:22 > 0:32:28- Very well done to anyone who got all five.- Thanks very much indeed. Here's the third and final question.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32Whoever wins this goes through to play for that jackpot.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35It concerns...South America.
0:32:35 > 0:32:42- South America, Richard.- We'll give you the names of five South American countries in anagram form.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46Can you unscramble them? The most obscure will go through.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50Thanks. OK, let's reveal our five South American countries.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52HE READS THE LIST
0:32:56 > 0:32:59I'll read those one last time.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08Now, Louise and Natasha, you go first this time.
0:33:09 > 0:33:14OK, we're going to go with Aneurism, which we think is Suriname.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Suriname, say Louise and Natasha.
0:33:17 > 0:33:23- Suriname. Now, Toby and Jak... - I think that's a very good answer.
0:33:23 > 0:33:28We know Pure is Peru, Eurocad is Ecuador,
0:33:28 > 0:33:33Oil A Comb is Colombia. We're not sure of the bottom one.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Yeah, we'll go with Oil A Comb. Colombia.
0:33:36 > 0:33:41Oil A Comb, Colombia. So we have Suriname versus Colombia.
0:33:41 > 0:33:46Louise and Natasha went for Suriname. Is that right? How many people said it?
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Well done. Eight for Suriname.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06I fear that's a tough one to beat, whichever one you went for.
0:34:06 > 0:34:12But let's find out. You went for Colombia. Is that right? How many people said it?
0:34:14 > 0:34:16It's right.
0:34:18 > 0:34:2051!
0:34:22 > 0:34:3051 for Colombia, which means, after three questions, Louise and Natasha are through 2-1.
0:34:30 > 0:34:35Again, the first team gave the best answer on the board. Well done, both teams.
0:34:35 > 0:34:41You're right about the top two. Pure is Peru. It would have scored 82 points.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Eurocad is Ecuador. It scored 31.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47The bottom one is surprisingly difficult.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51- Argentina.- Yeah. Argentina, 30 points.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Very well done if you got all five.
0:34:54 > 0:34:59Thanks. So the pair leaving us, I'm afraid, are Toby and Jak. Had you gone first,
0:34:59 > 0:35:03- I have a feeling you had Suriname. - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:35:03 > 0:35:10That's why you have to score as low as you can. You've been fantastic in both shows,
0:35:10 > 0:35:14but thanks very much for playing. Brilliant contestants, Toby and Jak.
0:35:15 > 0:35:20But for Louise and Natasha it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:22 > 0:35:27Congratulations, Louise and Natasha. You fought off the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:33 > 0:35:39You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot of £3,000.
0:35:42 > 0:35:48Well, you've done so well. You've been our lowest scorers. Very consistent low scoring.
0:35:48 > 0:35:53And a very exciting Head to Head. That was brilliant.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57- What would you like to come up? - Films, maybe?- Yeah, we like films.
0:35:57 > 0:36:02- Books, maybe!- Obviously. - Something geographical.
0:36:02 > 0:36:09- Television.- There's a nice spread of questions in this new format of the final round. Best of luck.
0:36:09 > 0:36:16Now, as always, you have to choose a category. You have four options to choose from and they are...
0:36:23 > 0:36:28We can rule out Euro 2012 and Popular Irish Music.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32- Yes, I'd say so.- Leaving us with Africa and Shakespearean Comedies.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36- We're not great on Shakespeare. - I'm more inclined to Africa.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40- I think Africa.- Shakespeare? - I think we'll go for Africa.
0:36:40 > 0:36:45- Africa it is. OK. Richard?- We'll give you three different categories.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49They cover quite different grounds, so people at home can have a go.
0:36:49 > 0:36:56We are looking for the name of any African Head of State as of February, 2013.
0:36:56 > 0:37:03We are looking for any official capital city of an African country that begins with A, F, R, I, C or N.
0:37:03 > 0:37:08Or we are looking for any team that has won the African Cup of Nations
0:37:08 > 0:37:14from its inception to 2013. Any head of state, capital city beginning with one of those letters
0:37:14 > 0:37:19and any champion of the African Cup of Nations. Very best of luck.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23You've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27All you need is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:27 > 0:37:32You can answer from any category. Three from one, one from each, however you like it.
0:37:32 > 0:37:37- That's up to you. Are you ready? - Yes.- Let's put 60 seconds up.
0:37:37 > 0:37:44- There they are. Your time starts now.- You'll be good at heads of state.- I can think of about three.
0:37:44 > 0:37:49There's John Atta Mills. There's Paul Kagame.
0:37:49 > 0:37:55Oh, gosh, who is the other one? Goodluck Jonathan. I think the African Cup of Nations winner
0:37:55 > 0:38:00- was Burkina Faso. - They all sound good to me.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04- Any capitals? - Quite obvious ones - Cairo, Algiers.
0:38:04 > 0:38:09- I don't think they'll be as good as your answers.- Is Nigeria Ibadan?
0:38:09 > 0:38:12I think it might be Ibadan.
0:38:12 > 0:38:18- So which ones are we going to go for? - Do you want to go for Ibadan?
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Yeah.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24Yeah, I think so. And what did I say for heads of state?
0:38:24 > 0:38:28Atta Mills for Ghana. And...
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- Goodluck Jonathan.- 10 seconds left.
0:38:30 > 0:38:36- Paul Kagame? That's Rwanda.- Try that one.- And John Atta Mills.- Yes.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- And you want to try Ibadan?- Yep.
0:38:39 > 0:38:44Ok, that's your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:38:44 > 0:38:49- So we're going to go for two African heads of state.- And they are?
0:38:49 > 0:38:53- John Atta Mills.- John Atta Mills. - And Paul Kagame.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57- And Paul Kagame.- Yeah. And... I'm not sure about the capitals.
0:38:57 > 0:39:02- Go for champions of the Cup of Nations.- We'll try Burkina Faso.
0:39:02 > 0:39:07OK. Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:07 > 0:39:13- Kagame?- Yeah, Paul Kagame. - We'll put last. Your least likely to be pointless?
0:39:13 > 0:39:18- Burkina Faso.- We'll put it first. Let's put them up in that order and here they are.
0:39:23 > 0:39:30Very best of luck. Your first answer was Burkina Faso. Probably least likely to be pointless.
0:39:30 > 0:39:36It has to be correct, but if it is pointless, it wins you £3,000. So let's find out.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40Burkina Faso. Were they champions in the African Cup of Nations?
0:39:42 > 0:39:47Oh, no! They weren't! An incorrect answer.
0:39:47 > 0:39:53Your two best answers are still there. Your second answer was John Atta Mills.
0:39:54 > 0:39:59If this is right, it will win you £3,000. Louise, what would you do with your share?
0:39:59 > 0:40:03I've got two little girls. I'd like to take them on holiday.
0:40:03 > 0:40:08- Maybe somewhere like Disneyland. - Natasha, how about you?
0:40:08 > 0:40:15My mum's got a significant birthday at the end of the year, so I'd use it for significant celebrations!
0:40:15 > 0:40:20Excellent. Significant answer. Good. So is John Atta Mills an African head of state?
0:40:23 > 0:40:24Oh!
0:40:24 > 0:40:30- Maybe he isn't any more. - Oh, dear, oh, dear. Two incorrect answers.
0:40:30 > 0:40:35Your final answer has everything riding on it.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Paul Kagame.
0:40:37 > 0:40:42If this is pointless, it will win you that jackpot.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46Is President Paul Kagame an African head of state?
0:40:47 > 0:40:49He is!
0:40:49 > 0:40:55So Burkina Faso was incorrect, President John Atta Mills was an incorrect answer.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Paul Kagame taking us down into single figures...
0:40:59 > 0:41:02You've done it! Very well done!
0:41:03 > 0:41:08- That just had to be right. - Thank you!- That's brilliant.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12- Thank you. - Very well done indeed.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22Well, I have to say you teed that up beautifully
0:41:22 > 0:41:26with two incorrect answers and then Paul Kagame.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Fantastic. Many congratulations.
0:41:28 > 0:41:35Paul Kagame was a pointless answer, which means you will leave here today with £3,000 of the jackpot.
