0:00:20 > 0:00:23- APPLAUSE - Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:29I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless where we are always striving to find obscure answers.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34APPLAUSE
0:00:35 > 0:00:41- Couple number one. - Hi, I'm Craig, this is my friend Julie and we're from County Durham.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45- Couple two. - I'm Jon, this is my housemate George. We're studying at Leeds University.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49- Couple three.- I'm Steve, this is my wife Dianne and we're from Hampshire.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54- Couple four. - I'm Chris, I live in Aberystwyth. My dad Pete lives in Huntingdon.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59APPLAUSE
0:00:59 > 0:01:04We'll find out more about you throughout the show. That leaves one more person to introduce,
0:01:04 > 0:01:09a man so clever, his Siri asks him the questions. It's my Pointless friend Richard.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13- Hiya. Hi, everybody. Hiya. - APPLAUSE
0:01:15 > 0:01:20- Good afternoon.- And to you.- It's an unusual occasion on Pointless. We've got four new pairs.
0:01:20 > 0:01:25- Yeah, untried.- I get a bit nervous because I get a bit shy.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28We're outnumbered by them. Anything could happen.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- You suspect they may team up? - They may take over.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Oh, do you reckon?- Yeah. - Physically?- Yeah.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Steve looks like he could handle himself.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- It's Pete I'm worried about. - Yeah, I see what you mean.
0:01:42 > 0:01:48We always chat to them beforehand. They seemed perfectly nice with a couple of exceptions.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51No, they all seemed lovely. I think we'll be fine.
0:01:51 > 0:01:56- I think we'll be fine. - If it kicks off, we'll get some of the audience to help out.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00All our questions were put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Our contestants need to find the answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Everyone wants a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:07 > 0:02:13Each time that happens, we add £250 to the jackpot. Jay and Hazel didn't win the jackpot last time.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18- We add another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts at £2,000. - APPLAUSE
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31In this first round, I'll take an answer from each of you, but there's to be no conferring.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35The pair with the highest score at the end of the round will head home.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Our first category today is...
0:02:38 > 0:02:43Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:54 > 0:02:59Songs featuring "baby" or "babe" in their title. Richard?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- That's nice.- Very nice. We'll show you seven songs on each pass.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07Tell us the act who had a UK Top 40 hit with that song in the year shown.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10There'll be 14 in all to have a go at at home.
0:03:10 > 0:03:16We want the artists or groups who released these UK Top 40 singles. Here's our first board of seven.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32I'll read those all one last time.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Seven songs with "baby" or "babe" in their title.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53Craig and Julie, you all drew lots before the show and, today, you go first. Craig, what do you do?
0:03:53 > 0:03:59- I'm an IT manager in the NHS. - Right you are. And what do you do in your spare time, Craig?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02I run. I'm a hospital radio volunteer.
0:04:02 > 0:04:08- Do you do a show itself?- Yeah. I do a hospital radio show every Sunday.- What's it called?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10The Sunday Selection.
0:04:10 > 0:04:16- Brilliant. And are you allowed to play anything you like? - Yeah.- Good.- Some of those tracks.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- What do you like? - What do I like?- Yeah. - I'm an ABBA fan, I have to admit.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Are you? Favourite ABBA song?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Super Trouper.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- They get a lot of that on Sundays in the hospital?- They get some of that.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34But they get to choose their songs. They can pick what they like to hear.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Now then, Craig, what do you make of this board?
0:04:37 > 0:04:42- What do you make of this round? What do you make of this show?- Yeah.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46It's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. LAUGHTER
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- That's pretty much...- That is the best review we've ever had.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52LAUGHTER
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- What will you go for, Craig? - I've got a few ideas.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59But I think I'll go for the bottom one, Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby.
0:04:59 > 0:05:06Vanilla Ice, says Craig. Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:05:12 > 0:05:1441.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- APPLAUSE - 41. Not bad.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22No.1 for four weeks, Ice Ice Baby. He wrote the first draft in 15 minutes.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26He was once the sixth best jet-ski racer in the world, Vanilla Ice.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- Wow!- Yeah.- The sixth best?
0:05:29 > 0:05:34Yeah. It's not bad and there were eight, so, you know...
0:05:35 > 0:05:40- George, welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here. You're a student at Leeds?- Yeah.
0:05:40 > 0:05:45- What year are you in?- Second year. - What are you reading?- Philosophy.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50- What do you get up to when you're not doing that? - We both play quite a lot of football.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53I play tennis and we host Pointless parties.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56I've hosted plenty of those, certainly.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59What happens in your Pointless parties, George?
0:05:59 > 0:06:03We normally just sit on the sofa and watch Pointless with a few beers.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08It started off... It didn't really hit the heights of popularity we were expecting.
0:06:08 > 0:06:14- One or two people turned up, but once they knew we came on the show, we hit the dizzy heights of 25.- Really?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Oh, yes.- Really? - APPLAUSE - Exactly!
0:06:21 > 0:06:26Now, George, we want to know the bands or the artists who had hits with these singles.
0:06:26 > 0:06:32I was pretty worried, but now looking at it, I think I know about three of them.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36- OK...- So I'm going to go for Plug In Baby
0:06:36 > 0:06:39which is by one of my favourite bands, Muse.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44Plug In Baby by Muse. Let's see if Muse is right and how many of our 100 people said Muse.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Very well done. 12.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56That's the way to do it.
0:06:59 > 0:07:06- Total Guitar magazine readers said the riff at the beginning of Plug In Baby is the best this century.- Wow!
0:07:06 > 0:07:12- It's nice to think a load of Leeds University students watch us.- I like that.- Instead of doing any work.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- That's good, isn't it? - Thanks, Richard.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Steve, welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here. What do you do?
0:07:19 > 0:07:24- I'm an engineering officer in the Royal Navy. - Steve, how did you and Dianne meet?
0:07:24 > 0:07:29We met for the first time when we both appeared as contestants on the ITV show Blind Date.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34I was a picker on the show and Dianne was one of the girls on one of the stalls.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36It didn't go according to plan.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40I picked number two and I married number one.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- Aw! I tell you what... - APPLAUSE
0:07:46 > 0:07:50In the long run, though, that is how you're meant to play it.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54That way, you don't have to have Cilla at your wedding.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- LAUGHTER - Wow, that's fantastic! A proper, old blind date.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Yeah.- Do you watch the episode back?
0:08:00 > 0:08:06No, we don't generally put on the DVD that has me walking off with another girl, I must say.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- LAUGHTER - But it...
0:08:08 > 0:08:13But you know that didn't work. It was the moment you first met.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18- It's nice to have that on DVD because I'm hoping most people haven't. - Enough of this.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22What about all these songs with "baby" or "babe" in the title?
0:08:22 > 0:08:27Fortunately, the young lads have taken the modern music away,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30so I'll go for I Got You Babe and say Sonny and Cher.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said Sonny and Cher.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39It's right. 41, our highest, 12, our lowest...
0:08:39 > 0:08:4262 for Sonny and Cher.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Not bad, though, Steve.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46APPLAUSE
0:08:46 > 0:08:51Well played. No.1 in 1965. UB40 and Chrissie Hynde also had a big hit with it.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- Now then, Pete, a warm welcome to you.- Thank you.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- What do you do?- I'm in the Royal Air Force.- Where are you based?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01At Waddington up in Lincolnshire.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Right you are. What are your hobbies, Pete?
0:09:04 > 0:09:10Mostly walking, getting out into the countryside to see National Trust, English Heritage type properties.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Do you have an interest in music?
0:09:12 > 0:09:17Yes, I play the guitar. Chris has also learnt to play the guitar and bass.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22- Our other son plays the guitar and piano.- Do you have a kind of band together?
0:09:22 > 0:09:27- We seem to have bred our own band. - You really have. - We need a drummer now.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Do you play any of these songs?
0:09:29 > 0:09:35- No, I don't, sadly.- Do you know all of these songs?- Needless to say, I knew the three that have gone.
0:09:35 > 0:09:41Frustratingly, Bye Bye Baby, Les McKeown was the lead singer, but I can't remember the name of the band.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Beyond that, I'm a bit stuck.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Love To Love You Baby, I think might be Donna Summer.
0:09:48 > 0:09:54Donna Summer for Love To Love You Baby. Let's see if Donna Summer is right and how many people said it.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59It's right. 62 is our highest score. 12 is our lowest.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01You're past the highs.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Nearly down to our lowest.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Very well done, Pete. You did very well. 16, your score.
0:10:09 > 0:10:15Very well played. The full version of that song on the album is over 16 minutes long.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- That's a tough listen. - That's a lot, isn't it?
0:10:17 > 0:10:21It's interesting how the brain works. You can remember Les McKeown
0:10:21 > 0:10:26which is much more obscure than the band he was the leader of - The Bay City Rollers.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30That would have scored you 46 points, Bye Bye Baby.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35Now, Baby, 2010... Do you know that one? It does you great credit if you don't.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37LAUGHTER
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- It's Justin Bieber.- There you go.
0:10:40 > 0:10:46Hey! Baby was a huge hit when it was covered by DJ Otzi, but the original would have scored you 3 points.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51Very well done if you said Bruce Channel, very much the Justin Bieber of his day.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Thank you very much. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59The lowest score of that pass was 12, George and Jon looking good on the back of that,
0:10:59 > 0:11:03then up to 16 where we find Pete and Chris, up to 41, Craig and Julie,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05then up to 62, Steve and Dianne.
0:11:05 > 0:11:11Dianne, we need a low score from you to make sure you're not leaving us at the end of this round.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:11:16 > 0:11:21Let's put seven more songs with "babe" or "baby" on the board and here they are.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I'll read those one final time.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53We are looking for the artists or groups who released these UK Top 40 singles
0:11:53 > 0:11:58and, Chris, you'll find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03- Chris, welcome to the show. - Thank you.- You're from Aberystwyth. What do you do there?
0:12:03 > 0:12:08- I work for a company that sells World War Two surplus and militaria. - Wow!- A bit different.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11That is a bit different. What are your hobbies?
0:12:11 > 0:12:17I play and watch a lot of football. I'm one of the few English people who care about the Welsh Premier League.
0:12:17 > 0:12:23I'm quite the Aberystwyth Town fan. I've been to Gap Connah's Quay and back and places like that.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27What about this board? You have first pick of this, so use it well.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32I'm going to drop in all the cliches and say I would have loved the other board.
0:12:34 > 0:12:40I'm going to play fairly safe. I'm going to go for Baby One More Time and Britney Spears.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45Britney Spears, says Chris. The high scorers on 62 are Dianne and Steve. You're on 16.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48If you can score 45 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52There's your red line. Let's see how many people said Britney Spears.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Just above it - 50.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- APPLAUSE - 66, your total, Chris.
0:13:02 > 0:13:08You might have done enough, Chris. Baby One More Time is a great pop song, written by Max Martin.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11That video is shot in the same high school that Grease was shot in.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16- It operates as a high school when it's not being used for films and videos?- Yes.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- That's a good use of resources. - It is.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24Now then, Dianne, you're not the high scorers. You've had a temporary reprieve.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27If you can score 3 or less with this answer...
0:13:27 > 0:13:31you are guaranteed a place in the next round.
0:13:31 > 0:13:37- Dianne, what do you do? - I'm a legal assistant for a data storage company in Havant.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- What do you like getting up to, Dianne?- We love being outdoors.
0:13:41 > 0:13:47We live near the beach, so we walk a lot on the beach or we go up to the South Downs and the forests.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52We like bird-watching and dog-walking. Not our own dogs, our friends' dogs.
0:13:52 > 0:13:58- We sort of kidnap them for a while. - They know about this?- Oh, yes.- Phew!
0:13:58 > 0:14:04There you are on 62, wanting to score 3 or less. What do you make of this as a board?
0:14:04 > 0:14:10OK, I know a couple, but I think I'm just going to take a bit of a risk on the third one down,
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Always Be My Baby, and hope...
0:14:13 > 0:14:17really hope that it's Mariah Carey.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Mariah Carey, Always Be My Baby. What do you think, Steve?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Not a clue.
0:14:23 > 0:14:30OK, helpful(!) Here's your red line. If you get below that, you'll avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Let's see if that is Mariah Carey, how many people said it if it is.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37It's right. Well done, Dianne.
0:14:40 > 0:14:4212. Good answer.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- APPLAUSE - 74 is your total, Dianne.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Maybe that's enough to save you.
0:14:48 > 0:14:54- That's a terrific answer. It's a slightly tougher board than the first one.- I think it is.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Now then, Jon, welcome to the show. What are you studying at university?
0:14:58 > 0:15:03- English Literature. - Enjoying it?- Yeah, it's good. Lots of books to read.- Certainly.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08Now then, 12 is what you're on. If you can score 61 or less with this, you're into round two.
0:15:08 > 0:15:15This is an awful board. I knew Britney Spears. I was going to guess Always Be My Baby, The Spice Girls,
0:15:15 > 0:15:19so I'm glad you said Mariah Carey, otherwise I'd have been in trouble.
0:15:19 > 0:15:25I'm really annoyed. Baby Love is on the playlist at work and I hear it every single day.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29- What work?- I work at a restaurant in Leeds.- Oh, I see, yeah.
0:15:29 > 0:15:35So I'm going to guess Baby Love, someone old, '60s, I don't know if she's that old, Dolly Parton.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38I think I heard a few sniggers!
0:15:38 > 0:15:40LAUGHTER
0:15:40 > 0:15:46Dolly Parton... That would be a really good Dolly Parton song - I Think I Heard A Few Sniggers(!)
0:15:46 > 0:15:48LAUGHTER
0:15:51 > 0:15:56Anyway, there is your red line. If you get below that red line with Dolly Parton...
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- I'm a Dutchman! - LAUGHTER
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:16:07 > 0:16:13Bad luck. That's an incorrect answer. It scores you 100 points and takes your total up to 112.
0:16:13 > 0:16:19I'm slightly nearer the audience. I thought I heard disappointed gasps, rather than sniggers.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24- Julie, you've been thrown a bit of a lifeline there. - That's been a big help.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- Welcome to Pointless.- Thank you. - You've been waiting very patiently.
0:16:28 > 0:16:34- All the way through this round, you've been good as gold. You stood there quietly.- I've been behaving.
0:16:34 > 0:16:40You haven't conferred with Craig. You've done everything we've asked. What do you do, Julie?
0:16:40 > 0:16:45- I'm a professional fund-raiser for the Butterwick Hospice in Bishop Auckland.- How long for?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- Three years. - I imagine that's quite rewarding.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- It's difficult, but also rewarding. - Always trying to find new ways of...
0:16:52 > 0:16:58- Always trying to find new ways to get people to jump out of a plane.- Plenty of ways to get people to do that!
0:16:58 > 0:17:04It's getting them up there in the first place. What do you like doing when you're not doing that?
0:17:04 > 0:17:10Everything I preach to people, I tend to do myself, so I chuck myself out of planes and run, things like that.
0:17:10 > 0:17:16Taking it easy, I like photography and I'm also a volunteer presenter with Craig at hospital radio as well.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21- Are you on the Sunday Selection?- No, I usually do a film show on a Sunday.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Do you get to see all sorts of films?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Yeah, I'm a big film fan.
0:17:26 > 0:17:32- I've got a weekly pass or a monthly pass where I can go and see as many films as I want.- Excellent.
0:17:32 > 0:17:38You're the last person to have the board, so talk us through it and try and fill in all those blanks.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42It's worked out quite well. I'm not sure about Baby Come Back.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Baby Love, I was trying to sing it in my head.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48I have a feeling it might be... I'm not going for this one.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51It could be Diana Ross and The Supremes.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55But to play safe, I'm going to go with Babe and Take That.
0:17:55 > 0:18:01Babe, Take That. Let's see if it's right. You want to score 70 or less. There is your red line.
0:18:01 > 0:18:08If you get below that, you're through to the next round. Let's see how many people said Take That.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10It's right.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Absolutely, you are through.
0:18:15 > 0:18:1711.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- APPLAUSE - 11. 52, your total there, Julie. Very well done.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Well played, Julie.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28A huge No.1 single from that year. It sold over 600,000 copies.
0:18:28 > 0:18:34And Baby Love from 1964, it was The Supremes. It was a fairly big score. It would have scored you 46 points.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Baby Come Back is The Equals. That would have scored you 7 points.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Let's go down the bottom. Be My Baby was released just before Baby Love,
0:18:42 > 0:18:46but a similar band, The Ronettes. It would have scored you 5 points.
0:18:46 > 0:18:52Your Baby Ain't Your Baby Anymore is the best answer on the board, from 1974, and it was...
0:18:52 > 0:18:57Paul Da Vinci. Very well done if you got that - one point.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- There's a stage name! - No, that was his real name.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05- He was a direct descendant. - Right, yeah.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- Of Dave Da Vinci. - LAUGHTER
0:19:08 > 0:19:13Thanks, Richard. After our first round, the pair heading home with their high score of 112,
0:19:13 > 0:19:16I'm sorry to say, it's Jon and George.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Exactly. I'm afraid Baby Love, that was... Yes.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Now I've seen it, yeah, I know it's The Supremes.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25I just didn't have a chance.
0:19:25 > 0:19:31- I half knew a lot of those and I just wouldn't have known them enough to say them, I think.- Yeah.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36Bad luck. I'm sorry. Pointless has been very cruel to you this time,
0:19:36 > 0:19:42but we'll see you again next time when I'm sure you'll do much better. Thanks very much, Jon and George!
0:19:42 > 0:19:46But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:19:49 > 0:19:55Now we're down to three pairs and, at the end of this round, we'll say goodbye to another pair,
0:19:55 > 0:19:58and all of you brand-new, so welcome to round two all round!
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Julie, best answer of that pass.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05Muse was the best answer, but they've gone. After that, it was the Take That answer.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10Julie and Craig, the pair to beat on the strength of that first round.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Our category for round two is...
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Let's find out what the question is.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:20:29 > 0:20:34to name as many people who have married a descendant of George VI as they could.
0:20:34 > 0:20:40Yeah, a recent royalty question, George VI better known these days as Colin Firth(!)
0:20:40 > 0:20:44We want anybody who has married one of his direct descendants.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48We want their name before they married into the Royal Family,
0:20:48 > 0:20:52so we need their first name and surname. Very, very best of luck.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54OK, thanks. Now then, Craig...
0:20:56 > 0:21:00I'm not really sure on this one, so I'll have to go for a fairly...
0:21:00 > 0:21:04well, possibly a poor-scoring one - Sarah Ferguson.
0:21:04 > 0:21:10Sarah Ferguson. Let's see if it's right and how many of our 100 people said Sarah Ferguson.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13It's right.
0:21:16 > 0:21:1832.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23- APPLAUSE - Not a bad answer, Craig. 32.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Yeah, Sarah Ferguson married George VI's grandson, Prince Andrew.
0:21:27 > 0:21:34Now then, Dianne. We want the name of anyone who has married a direct descendant of George VI.
0:21:34 > 0:21:40OK, it's not a brilliant subject for me, so I'm going to take a bit of a gamble
0:21:40 > 0:21:44and hope that Steve can dig us out of it.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48I think he married into the Royal Family.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52I can't remember who he married. This is going terribly wrong!
0:21:52 > 0:21:56- I'm going to say Mike Tindall. - Mike Tindall, says Dianne.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01Let's see if that's right and let's see how many of our 100 people said Mike Tindall.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05No apology needed, Dianne. It's a correct answer.
0:22:05 > 0:22:0832, our best score so far. You whizz past that.
0:22:09 > 0:22:116. That's a brilliant answer.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15- Very well done indeed, Dianne. - APPLAUSE
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Another great answer. Yeah, he married Zara Phillips.
0:22:20 > 0:22:26His great-grandfather was a blacksmith and her great-grandfather was George VI.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Thanks very much. Now, Chris...
0:22:29 > 0:22:34Do you accept two halves of answers? I've got loads of first names and surnames.
0:22:34 > 0:22:39Can I put them together into one new super-monarch?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Super-consort...
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Yeah.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46I'm going to have to...
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Sorry. I just have to say "no". Sorry.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52I had a cracking name as well.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57I'll have to go for the one that everyone's thinking, just to give my dad a fighting chance.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00I'm going to go for Kate Middleton.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- To give your dad a fighting chance? - LAUGHTER
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- You mean to make your dad squirm? - Yes.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11Kate Middleton, says Chris. To give him a mountain to climb, let's see if that's right,
0:23:11 > 0:23:15and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Kate Middleton.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17It's right.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Not bad. 42.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- Not bad at all, Chris. - I'll take that.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28That could have been a lot worse, Chris. Well done.
0:23:28 > 0:23:34The pub near me changed its name to The Duchess Of Cambridge within two days of that wedding.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39- That's pretty good going.- Yeah. - They didn't change anything else, but they changed the name.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44Let's have a look at those scores. 6, Dianne, the best score of the pass by a margin,
0:23:44 > 0:23:50then up to 32 where we find Craig and Julie, then up to 42 where we find Chris and Pete.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55Pete, not such a hole to climb out of after Chris's answer of Kate Middleton, but you are in the lead,
0:23:55 > 0:23:59so we need a low-scoring answer from you to keep you in the game.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:24:03 > 0:24:09Remember, Pete, we're looking for the names of anyone who has married a descendant of George VI.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13You're on 42. You're the high scorers, so it's got to be a low score.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18- I'll go for Captain Mark Phillips. - Captain Mark Phillips, says Pete.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Let's see how many people said Captain Mark Phillips.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25It's right.
0:24:28 > 0:24:3026.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32APPLAUSE
0:24:32 > 0:24:3426 takes your total up to 68.
0:24:34 > 0:24:41- You've given yourself a chance. He married his granddaughter, Princess Anne.- Thanks very much.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45Now, Steve, you're on 6. Brilliant effort from Dianne in the first pass.
0:24:45 > 0:24:51The high scorers are Pete and Chris on 68. 61 or less sees you through to the next round.
0:24:51 > 0:24:56OK, not a brilliant subject, but I do work for the Queen.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58LAUGHTER
0:24:58 > 0:25:02- I'm going to say Camilla Parker Bowles.- Here's your red line.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Get below that with Camilla Parker Bowles
0:25:04 > 0:25:09and you're through to the next round. Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Absolutely right.
0:25:15 > 0:25:1719.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19APPLAUSE
0:25:19 > 0:25:23- 19 takes your total up to 25. - Good play there on podium three.
0:25:23 > 0:25:29- She'll be the Princess Consort if Charles ever becomes King. - That's a catchy title.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- Sounds like a car. - Exactly. Or a caravan.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- The new Princess Consort! - Good stuff. Thanks very much.
0:25:36 > 0:25:41Now then, Julie, you're on 32. You want to score 35 or less with this answer
0:25:41 > 0:25:44to avoid leaving us at the end of the round.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49- No, you're shaking your head! This is not going to be a Take That moment.- No, I'm afraid not.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Now then, talk us through your answers if you like.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Well, I know there's Princess Diana.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59I know everybody by a Prince or Princess.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03And I can't remember Princess Diana's surname.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07I think it was Andrew, um...
0:26:07 > 0:26:10OK, Diana Andrews.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Diana Andrews?- Hmm.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18OK, let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Diana Andrews.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21No.
0:26:21 > 0:26:27Bad luck, Julie. An incorrect answer scoring you 100 points. That takes your total up to 132.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32It's one of those things sometimes, just under the lights. I know you know the name.
0:26:32 > 0:26:38- It's Diana Spencer.- Spencer.- It would have scored you 49 points, so it would have seen you knocked out.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42- There's three pointless answers. Let's take a look at them.- Go on.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Don't look, don't look, cos you'll be good at this.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49You've probably been to most of these weddings.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51LAUGHTER
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Serena Stanhope.
0:26:53 > 0:26:59- Serena Stanhope married Viscount Linley. That was a pointless answer. - Get in there!
0:26:59 > 0:27:00APPLAUSE
0:27:00 > 0:27:06- Daniel Chatto, is it?- Daniel Chatto, yeah. Well done. That's a pointless answer as well.- Get in there!
0:27:06 > 0:27:08APPLAUSE
0:27:08 > 0:27:12And I know who the other pointless one will be...
0:27:12 > 0:27:17A lot of people didn't go on his stag do, so they probably wouldn't have got it.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- The other one will be the model who married Peter Phillips.- Yeah.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24She is called August...Autumn...
0:27:26 > 0:27:33- Autumn...- It's Autumn Kelly. Those were the three pointless answers. Well done if you said any of them.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41I'll give you some other scorers. You could have had Tim Lawrence for 3 points,
0:27:41 > 0:27:47Antony Armstrong-Jones for 10, Sophie Rhys-Jones, 11. Let's take a look at the top three now.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50You've got Catherine Middleton, Kate Middleton, 42,
0:27:50 > 0:27:54Philip Mountbatten, 46, Prince Philip, of course,
0:27:54 > 0:27:57and there's Diana Spencer at the top - 49 points.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Good round for you there.
0:27:59 > 0:28:05- I played this royal correspondent on Armstrong And Miller, so I learned all the names.- With an Irish accent.
0:28:05 > 0:28:11- That's right, Terry Devlin, who was the royal correspondent. - LAUGHTER
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- He just knew everyone. - That's very good.- Thanks very much.
0:28:14 > 0:28:20At the end of our second round, the couple heading home, it's Julie and Craig with a high score of 132.
0:28:20 > 0:28:25Bad luck, Julie. It's some consolation that it was still quite a high score.
0:28:25 > 0:28:30We'll see you again next time. Thanks very much for playing, Julie and Craig!
0:28:31 > 0:28:36But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head round.
0:28:41 > 0:28:46Congratulations, Steve and Dianne, Chris and Pete, you are one step closer to the final
0:28:46 > 0:28:50and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £2,000.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53APPLAUSE
0:28:53 > 0:28:58To decide who plays for that money, you now go head-to-head. You are now allowed to confer.
0:28:58 > 0:29:04The first pair to win two questions will play for the jackpot. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:29:15 > 0:29:21- Capital cities and their rivers. Richard?- We'll show you five pictures of capital cities.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Tell us the river that is in each picture. Best of luck.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28OK, let's reveal our five capital cities and here they are.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53There we are, five capital cities and their rivers.
0:29:53 > 0:29:59Steve and Dianne, you get to go first as you've played best throughout the show so far.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03WHISPERING
0:30:09 > 0:30:12OK, we're going to have to play safe
0:30:12 > 0:30:16and hope that the others fall at the first fence
0:30:16 > 0:30:19and say C is the Seine.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22C, the Seine. C, the Seine.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26Chris and Pete, the board is all yours. Can you talk us through it?
0:30:26 > 0:30:29- Er...no. Um... - LAUGHTER
0:30:30 > 0:30:33We don't really know.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36We knew C. We know D is obviously London.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39We don't recognise any other cities,
0:30:39 > 0:30:43but we're probably going to plunge for..."A"?
0:30:43 > 0:30:45- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- A, the Danube.- A, the Danube.
0:30:48 > 0:30:55A, the Danube. OK, so we have the Seine versus the Danube.
0:30:55 > 0:31:00Steve and Dianne said the Seine. Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02It is right.
0:31:04 > 0:31:0656.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09APPLAUSE
0:31:09 > 0:31:15Chris and Pete have gone for the Danube. What was it that made you think Danube?
0:31:15 > 0:31:20- What were the features, the landmarks?- The big, wet thing in the middle, really.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21LAUGHTER
0:31:23 > 0:31:25- APPLAUSE - No, no, no.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31Yes, I... Yeah, apart from that. I mean, what were the...
0:31:31 > 0:31:35We have no idea on any of the other cities and Paris would beat London.
0:31:35 > 0:31:42- But something made you say Danube. - The size of the river.- OK. - And East European architecture.
0:31:42 > 0:31:48OK, you've gone for the Danube. Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54Because it's right. That wet thing in the middle is indeed the Danube
0:31:54 > 0:31:56and it wins you the point.
0:31:57 > 0:31:599.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01APPLAUSE
0:32:03 > 0:32:09Very well said, Chris and Pete. That wins you the point. After one question, you're up one-nil.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13- That's a terrific answer. Very well done. Any ideas on that city?- Nope.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- No.- That is Budapest.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Very well done. Now, B is another low scorer.
0:32:19 > 0:32:24Lots of people at home will know this. It's the Liffey that flows through Dublin.
0:32:24 > 0:32:265 points if you said that.
0:32:26 > 0:32:32- D, obviously, is London. Only got 71 points though. - Wow.- The Thames.- Wow!
0:32:32 > 0:32:35And E is a pointless answer.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Well, the city is Cairo,
0:32:38 > 0:32:40so the river is the Nile.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44A pointless answer. Well done if you said that.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48Your second question. Steve and Dianne, Chris and Pete answer first,
0:32:48 > 0:32:53but you have to win this one to stay in the game. Best of luck. It concerns...
0:32:54 > 0:32:59- Richard?- We're going to show you the names of five Shakespeare comedies now,
0:32:59 > 0:33:04but we'll only give you the number of letters in each word of that comedy.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08Can you decipher these clues and work out the comedies?
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Let's reveal our five Shakespeare comedies and here they are.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26I'll read those all one last time.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36Chris and Pete, you go first. I'll give you a little while.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41- I only know the bottom two. - WHISPERING
0:33:47 > 0:33:51- We think we know which one we're going to go for.- OK.
0:33:51 > 0:33:57- Do you want to go for it? - Yeah, we'll go for the middle one - The Merry Wives Of Windsor.
0:33:57 > 0:34:013, 5, 5, 2, 7, The Merry Wives Of Windsor, say Chris and Pete.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Steve and Dianne, do you want to talk us through the board?
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Yes, I'd be delighted(!)
0:34:07 > 0:34:11We only know one and, fortunately, it wasn't the one they picked.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15We'll go for the fourth one down - A Midsummer Night's Dream.
0:34:15 > 0:34:22A Midsummer Night's Dream, 1, 9, 6, 5. OK, The Merry Wives Of Windsor versus A Midsummer Night's Dream.
0:34:22 > 0:34:27Let's see if The Merry Wives Of Windsor is right and how many people said it if it is.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30It's absolutely right.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Yeah, that's a nice, low score.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Look at that! Very well done. 11.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38APPLAUSE
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Steve and Dianne, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:34:41 > 0:34:47A Midsummer Night's Dream, you've gone for. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57- 66. - APPLAUSE
0:34:58 > 0:35:03Well done. Chris and Pete, after only two questions, you're through to the final two-nil.
0:35:03 > 0:35:08It seems dauntingly impossible at first look, but when you think about Shakespeare plays,
0:35:08 > 0:35:11suddenly, you can sort of relax.
0:35:11 > 0:35:16But hard, though. Well done to anyone who got all five of them. Do you think you got any of these?
0:35:16 > 0:35:22- I've got all bar one. I'll get the other one in a second.- Which one have you not got?- The top one.
0:35:22 > 0:35:28- We'll do that last. The second one is?- Much Ado About Nothing.- Yes, that would have scored 30 points.
0:35:28 > 0:35:34- The bottom one is the only one that would have beaten The Merry Wives Of Windsor.- All's Well That Ends Well.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Yeah, it would have scored you 7 points. And the top one?
0:35:38 > 0:35:41- 34 points for... - Oh, I know. As You Like It.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45Yeah, 34 points. Very well done to anyone who got all five of those.
0:35:45 > 0:35:51At the end of our head-to-head round, the pair leaving us... Steve and Dianne, you've played so well.
0:35:51 > 0:35:57You were hot favourites as we went into this round and you leave without a point on your board,
0:35:57 > 0:36:03but the good news is we get to see you again next time. We'll look forward to that very much indeed.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07- Thanks very much for playing, Steve and Dianne! - APPLAUSE
0:36:07 > 0:36:10But for Chris and Pete, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17Congratulations, Chris and Pete. You've fought off the competition
0:36:17 > 0:36:20- and won our coveted Pointless trophy. Well done.- Thank you.
0:36:26 > 0:36:32You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and at the end of today's show, it stands at £2,000.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35APPLAUSE
0:36:36 > 0:36:41- We've put you through your paces. You had songs with "babe" and "baby" in the title.- It's been a mix.
0:36:41 > 0:36:47You had people who married into the Royal Family, rivers and Shakespeare comedies.
0:36:47 > 0:36:52Yeah, cruised through it. You made that head-to-head look embarrassingly easy.
0:36:52 > 0:36:58- There was a lot of luck on the Danube.- Really?- It's my favourite river in the world.- It is now, yeah.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01- More than the Bangui. - The Ubangi in Bangui.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04What would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Football, we're both pretty strong at.
0:37:07 > 0:37:14Geography, you know, countries and capital cities, stuff like that, we've got shoved in our brain.
0:37:14 > 0:37:19As always, you start this round off by choosing a category and here are your four options.
0:37:25 > 0:37:31I'll be proud to rely on my dad here. We're both very good at sport. It's more his generation than mine.
0:37:31 > 0:37:36- Just.- But yeah, we're going to go for 1970s Sport.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38OK, 1970s Sport, it is. Richard?
0:37:38 > 0:37:42We'll give you three categories. You can choose from any of these.
0:37:58 > 0:38:04Any English cricket Test centurion, any captain of the Welsh rugby union team
0:38:04 > 0:38:08or any Formula One Grand Prix winner from the 1970s. Best of luck.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12Thanks very much. You've got up to a minute to come up with three answers
0:38:12 > 0:38:17and to win that jackpot of £2,000, just one of those answers has to be pointless.
0:38:17 > 0:38:23Your answers can come from any of these categories - one from each, two from one, one from another,
0:38:23 > 0:38:29- however you like. Are you ready?- Yeah.- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31There they are. Your time starts now.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35- You've got to be...- Cricket centurions, we've got David Steele
0:38:35 > 0:38:40because he came in the middle of one Test and scored a load of runs. He saved the Test.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42- We'll go for David Steele.- OK.
0:38:42 > 0:38:49- I'm not really sure on the others. Do you know any Grand Prix drivers? - Yeah, but not...- Emerson Fittipaldi.
0:38:49 > 0:38:54- And James Hunt. I can't think of... - For anyone else, I wouldn't be confident they were in the '70s.
0:38:54 > 0:39:00Other ones might be Derek Randall. He's bound to have got 100 and he was quite a while ago.
0:39:00 > 0:39:05Who have we got? Wicket-keeper, Alan Knott. I'm just trying to think of any bowlers.
0:39:05 > 0:39:10Chris Old, I wouldn't be surprised if he got a century at some point. He could use a bat.
0:39:10 > 0:39:16We've got David Steele, Chris Old and if I can think of somebody other than Derek Randall...
0:39:18 > 0:39:21- Nearly ten seconds left. - Ten seconds left.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24Would Derek Underwood have got one? Probably not.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29We'll probably go for those three - Randall, Old and...
0:39:29 > 0:39:34- Steele.- Steele.- That's your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:39:34 > 0:39:40- We've got David Steele.- David Steele. - Chris Old.- Chris Old. - And Derek Randall.- And Derek Randall.
0:39:40 > 0:39:46- They are from...?- English cricket Test centurions.- English cricket Test centurions from the '70s.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50Of those three, which is your best crack at a pointless answer?
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- David Steele. - David Steele we'll put last.
0:39:53 > 0:39:58- Your least likely?- Derek Randall. - Derek Randall we'll put first.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02OK, let's put those up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:40:05 > 0:40:10Very, very best of luck. Your first answer was Derek Randall.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14This was the one you thought was least likely to be pointless.
0:40:14 > 0:40:21Only one answer has to be pointless to win the jackpot of £2,000. Chris, what would you do with your share?
0:40:21 > 0:40:25I'd like to go on some weekends away to see some European cities,
0:40:25 > 0:40:28- so it'd be wrong not to go to Budapest now.- You should.
0:40:28 > 0:40:35- Pete, how about you? - We're all big Man City fans, so maybe a VIP day out to watch a game.
0:40:35 > 0:40:41Best of luck. Your first answer, Derek Randall, if it's right and pointless, you will win the jackpot.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45Is Derek Randall an English Test centurion?
0:40:47 > 0:40:51Absolutely right. That was the first thing it had to be.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55If this goes down to zero, you will leave here with £2,000.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Down Derek Randall goes into single figures, still going down.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00You've done it!
0:41:00 > 0:41:02CHEERING
0:41:02 > 0:41:05What about that? Very well done indeed.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Very, very well done. That's fantastic.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Good work.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Well, congratulations.
0:41:13 > 0:41:19Derek Randall was a pointless answer, which means you leave here with a jackpot of £2,000.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22- Very well done indeed. - APPLAUSE
0:41:22 > 0:41:26Neatly done, sir. Richard, what about that?
0:41:26 > 0:41:30I knew you were going to do it. You've been brilliant from the start.
0:41:30 > 0:41:35Chris Old would have been an incorrect answer. He never scored a Test century.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39- David Steele was another pointless answer. - APPLAUSE
0:41:43 > 0:41:48In your 60 seconds, you also mentioned Alan Knott who was also a pointless answer,
0:41:48 > 0:41:51so it would have been a clean sweep if you'd said him.
0:41:51 > 0:41:57Let's look at some more pointless answers. You'll recognise these, as will some people at home.
0:41:58 > 0:42:03Derek Randall scored seven Test centuries - 174 against the Aussies his biggest score.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08You could also have had Bob Woolmer, Brian Luckhurst, Clive Radley,
0:42:08 > 0:42:12Dennis Amiss, John Edrich, Tony Lewis, all pointless.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16Let's take a look at the Welsh rugby union captains - Arthur Lewis,
0:42:16 > 0:42:22Delme Thomas, John Lloyd, Mervyn Davies, also pointless. Well done if you said any of those at home.
0:42:22 > 0:42:27Lots of people like their Formula One, so let's go through some of these.
0:42:34 > 0:42:40There's a few more on the list - Carlos Reutemann, Clay Regazzoni, Gunnar Nilsson, Jacques Laffite,
0:42:40 > 0:42:45Jochen Mass, John Watson or Alan Jones. Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49- Terrific work in the studio. That was lovely to watch.- Thank you.
0:42:49 > 0:42:55Thanks again to our winning players, Chris and Pete, who go away with today's jackpot of £2,000.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57APPLAUSE
0:42:58 > 0:43:02Join us next time on Pointless. It's goodbye from Richard.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
