And now, joining me in the old

sodipop, this one's called
a Lemon Fistbomb.
It's Sasha. Hi, Sasha.
You're a nice lady.
Why don't you get some of that sodipop
down here and you tell me what you think.
Well, sugar, I might just do that.
Go on, have a good old slurp on that.
I'll have a good old slurp on that.
Get that sody down you.
Okay, so you've had a bit of the sody pop now.
That's the lemon fizz bomb.
What do you think of that?
I think it's mighty fine, sugar.
That's great soda.
My, I do feel a little nauseous now. Now don't you
worry about that, Sasha. Let's move on.
This one's called a Disgusto
Fizz.

and I probably won't read?
I'm just trying to make this show go along, Paul,
because if...
By asking me about the works of Richard Osman's literary career...
I don't think you've noticed it's not going very well so far.
Okay.
Excuse me.
I know what anybody else thinks, but it isn't really, is it?
You know what?
Ethan, I feel sorry for you,
because you're going to be on the losing team in this first game now,
I've decided, because...

That's really... Can we stop talking about my face hole? Surprise, surprise!
Vagina
pause right before your
eyes.
I'm birthing Paul
out my face hole.
Come on, mate.
I hate you sometimes.
I genuinely do.
Stop the show.
You've been very mean.
I've read the other...
My heart is very, very fragile.
Okay.
And you break my heart many times.
I'm sorry.
You don't even know how deep you cut sometimes.
I'm sorry.
And I cry.
I've actually read the Thursday Murder Club.
Is that a modern song?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
It's quite charming. I find it quite charming. It's an easy that a mob song? Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's quite charming.
I find it quite charming.
It's an easy read, you know?
Yeah, I know.
I just find it so cynical.
Thursday Murder Club.
Oh.
I find it so cynical.
Are you ready to move on now?
Yeah, I'm ready to move on
to Thursday Burger Club.
After your little break down.
Thursday Burger Club.
Yeah, Thursday Burger Club.
Oh, I wanted to ask you, Biffo.
Oh, yeah.
You like McDonald's sometimes.
Yeah.
Have you had the chicken Big Mac?
I have, actually.
Yeah.
I had it last week, so it's very timely.
What did you think?
I thought it was poor.
Yeah.
It doesn't work, does it?
And also, because of the coating, it slips out.
Yeah.
Not well-constructed.
It's not well-constructed.
It's a gimmick.
It's a gimmick.
It doesn't work.
It doesn't work.
Welcome to Pointless.
It's the quiz where you've got to know the most pointless...
You don't understand, right?
Can we get something out of the way?
Yeah, go on.
Paul, when we've been planning this show,
you've struggled with the whole concept of Pointless as a game show.
Admit it.
I'm just going to drink water to mentally distract myself from this,
whatever this ends up being.
Admit that you have struggled to actually understand what Pointless is why don't you tell me pointless is a game show paul
that we're about to play a board game version of yeah where you are trying to find the most obscure
correct answer to a question that's basically the the the dynamic so yes and the overall game is to
be the person with the least points to get through to the next round.
So, similar to Family Feud, or Family Fortune as it's known in this country,
it's based on surveys they do.
Is it?
With people.
They ask 100 people to name things.
It's like the opposite of Family Fortune.
Instead of getting the most popular answer, you're trying to get the least.
Yes.
Yeah.
Why are you two explaining to the man who's running the game how to play it?
He doesn't understand it.
I just know the paper in front of me and what the rules say and how you play it.
Oh, God.
Regardez the rules.
Round one.
A number of questions asked in round one is two to eight.
Oh, you get two each.
I'm going to ask you one question each throughout this.
Right?
So you'll get a question each. It's very exciting. And I've picked questions out I'm going to ask you one question each throughout this, right? So you'll get
a neat question each.
It's very exciting.
And I've picked questions
out in advance
that I thought
you might have a crack at
unless you know
the history of like
Israeli prime ministers.
Anyone?
Benjamin Netanyahu.
I don't think that's going
to be a pointless score
though, is it?
Because if everyone got it,
it looks like that's the one.
Shimon.
Michael Jackson.
Who's he? Israeli prime minister. Shimon there was one
called Shimon though
come on
wasn't there
are we doing
Israeli presidents
or what
Shimon the motherfucker
goodbye everyone
who's going first
I'm laughing at this
I like this
I'll tell you what
I've got coin
side A is heads and and side, team.
Oh, shit.
What?
What the hell is going on?
All you have to do is toss a coin.
Heads is team A.
Is that a real coin?
It's not a real coin.
It's a 10-pence piece.
Of course it's real.
Well, then it's got heads and tails.
It hasn't got A or B.
No, I know.
I'm getting confused.
I'm getting confused.
You're upsetting me.
You're upsetting me, Tommy.
Side A or side B?
Of a coin.
It's like the man who fell to earth here, isn't it?
Do you call A or B?
Right, so heads is team Team A Tails is Team B
Use our team names
No, no, no
We made us do team names
Okay
Octavius hates our team names
Heads
Bif-tavius
Is Bif-tavius' heads
That's so shit
Tails, yes it is
Come on
A bit of loyalty
And a bit of unity
And tails is
Ethigum
Ethigum Here we go It is heads So do you want to take the first question and a bit of unity. And tails is e-thigh gum.
Here we go. It is heads.
So do you want to take the first question or do you want them to go first?
Is that side A then?
Yeah, heads.
We don't care.
You don't care.
Haven't they looked
lovely?
Yeah, you want to go
first
yeah
alright okay cool
so here's a quick thing
so I'm going to ask
this is just for you
this question
just for you
you get the next one
but just for you
just for you
this is the first one
your side B
okay right
so
name the character's
superhero alter ego
I'm going to read out
six
wait so I've got to come up with the least well known I'm going to read out six... I've got to come up with the least well-known.
I'm going to read out five alter egos,
and I want you to pick the one you think was the least chosen
during the survey Eli previously brought up
to explain the rules of the game.
Wow.
It was a pretty good description.
Right, so here are your options.
You have Billy Batson,
Bruce Banner,
Bruce Wayne,
Clark Kent,
or James Howlett.
So which one of those is the most pointless answer, I guess?
Well, I know who they all are.
Yeah, do you?
I don't know the first and the last.
Billy Batson is Captain Marvel,
or Shazam,
depending on whether you...
The DC one.
DC one.
Howlett the Green Lantern?
No, that's Wolverine.
Aren't you glad
you didn't get this question?
That's Wolverine's...
I didn't know he had a...
I thought he was Logan.
Logan...
No, no.
Logan, he's...
It's a long story.
It is.
I don't have time for it.
Logan was the name...
He took the name
of a bloke
that he knew
when he was a kid.
He was called Logan.
Oh, God. Well, that's not... Which one? Which one's the He took the name of a bloke that he knew when he was a kid. It was called Logan.
Which one's the most least popular answer?
We've got Billy Batson, Bruce Banner, Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent and James Howlett.
It's obviously between Batson and Howlett.
Yeah.
Which one do you want to go for?
Which one do you want to go for?
Wolverine's a more popular character, better known.
But do they know that alter ego thing?
Exactly.
I'm going to say Wolverine.
Wolverine.
Howlett.
Howlett.
So Howlett.
Howlett at the moon.
Right.
The score for that was... I'll read them out, actually.
Billy Batson was a pointless answer.
Oh, fucking hell.
You would have got that.
But Bruce Banner was the Hulk.
That was 61. Bruce Wayne's Batman, 73.. You would have got that. But Bruce Banner was the Hulk. That was 61.
Bruce Wayne's
Batman, 73.
Clark Kent,
Superman, 90.
James Howlett,
Wolverine,
one.
Why is Peter Parker
left off this?
I don't know.
I don't know.
It's unfair on
Spider-Man, isn't it?
I'll ask the quiz
ombudsman about the
lack of Spider-Man.
I will be phoning
the ombudsman.
Get the ombudsman
on the line.
Is he a superhero as well?
Right, Eli.
He just bumbles.
That's his power.
Eli, your question, your round is on famous children and their famous papas.
Okay.
So, what are the famous fathers of these famous children?
Okay.
Angelina Jolie, Emilio Estevez, Jamie Lee Curtis, Lily Allen, Lucy Davis. are the famous fathers of these famous children. Okay.
Angelina Jolie,
Emilio Estevez, Jamie Lee Curtis,
Lily Allen, Lucy Davis.
Which one of those is the pointless answer?
It's the one I don't know, isn't it? Potentially.
That's usually how quizzes work. Lily Davis.
Lily Allen.
I'll read them again. Angelina
Jolie, Emilio Estevez, Jamie Lee
Curtis, and Lily Allen. And Lucy Davis. I'm not doing it again. Angelina Jolie, Emilia Estevez, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Lee Allen,
Lily Allen,
and Lucy Davis.
I'm not doing it again.
Lucy Davis.
That's the one.
I bet that's the pointless one,
but I don't know who her dad is.
I do.
I do.
Even though I just looked,
but I did know.
I thought everyone knew.
No, we're not passing it.
It doesn't work like that.
Do I score?
Do I have to get the pointless one?
No, you just get,
you got to get as low as you can. If you't know the point just go for the lowest one you think
yeah that i know so and let me just see if i got this in my head
angelina jolie is just answer a question is john voight angelina jolie is john voight
martin no she's john daughter of john voight she isn't john voight is she
she's not an amalgam beast creature of the two.
Amalgam?
Yeah.
Come on, mate.
Don't try and pull people off when they talk.
This is outrageous, Paul.
He's a trained actor, yeah?
No, what's truly outrageous is...
He's not a trained actor.
No, I learnt on the streets.
Street acting.
You can either answer the question
or I'm going to forfeit because I'm bored of you.
I am going to answer the question.
Just give me a chance.
Sorry.
Jon Voight.
Quick aside.
Read them out against me.
Ethan, you were on Pointless recently.
It's not been broadcast yet
and no spoilers,
but did you put up
with this shit happen?
Would this shit happen on Pointless?
It would be trimmed out in the edit.
Yeah.
I'm going to trim this out in the edit.
Jon Voight.
What was the next one?
Right.
It was Angelina Jolie
Emilia Weston
Jamie Lee Curtis
Lily Allen
and Lucy Davis
Jamie Curtis
I will say
there is no pointless answer
this time around
so if that helps you
pick quickly
oh it's that guy
I can't even think of
Jamie Lee Curtis
his dad
it's that guy
Tony Curtis
I think that's probably
going to be
the least known I'll go for Tony Curtis so you're that's probably going to be the least known.
I'll go for Tony Curtis.
So you're going to go with Jamie Lee Curtis as your answer?
I'll go for that one.
Okay, Lee Curtis.
And so here we go.
From top to bottom, Angelina Jolie, Jon Voight, you were right on that.
That was 21.
Emilio Estevez, Martin Sheen, that was worth 23.
Jamie Lee Curtis, you said that one. The That was worth 23 Jamie Lee Curtis You said that one
The answer was obviously
Tony Curtis
48
Oh fuck off
For that one
So they're bought
Just to round them all off
Lily Allen was the daughter
Of Keith Allen
25
Lucy Davis
She's the daughter of
Jasper Carrot
Jasper Carrot
And that's the lowest
10
Yeah
So 48 points there.
We're going now over back to Team Bifftavious.
It's going very well.
Are you excited?
Here we are.
This is the one I've got for you.
Put it in me little slot.
Hit.
All right, calm down.
This is on the Muppets.
Do you know the Muppets well?
No.
Oh, dear.
Right.
Five. We can't confer.
No.
Okay, so you are looking for, the answers to these will be five clues to facts about the Muppets.
So I'm going to read you five clues and the answer is the least known fact, if that makes sense.
Okay, so one, actor who played Ebenezer Scrooge in the Muppets Christmas Carol.
Number two, the creator of The Muppets.
Number three, directed the 2011 film The Muppets.
Number four, Kermit the Frog's nephew,
who sings Halfway Down the Stairs.
And finally, Muppet, who famously flirted with Michael Parkinson in 1978.
So which one of those clues is going to have the answer
that people got the least?
The one about the film, probably.
Oh, the director of the 2011 film?
Yeah, I mean, all the rest of them are really obvious, aren't they?
I mean, Miss Piggy's a bit of a slag,
so she must be the one playing.
Yeah, a little bit.
She's just a confident modern woman.

say I had to pick the question didn't I say he has no he has no he can't actually
say if there's no you just I just think well I just thought you just guessed
whatever you thought would be the question that had the least well well that. No, you also have to list that, isn't it?
Well, that means you have to tell me now who the director of that film is.
And if you don't know, you've got to pick another question.
I had to do my question.
This is bullshit.
It's a quiz.
You're moving the goalposts around, you fucker. I'm not there moving the goalposts.
We're in the same place.
Paul's moving the goalposts.
No, we're not.
We may have a worse team name, but at least we're not Bellies.
We're not what?
I didn't come here to make friends.
I came here to win.
I would have gone Lucy Davis.
I would have said Lucy Davis,
even though I didn't know who her dad was.
Did you recall, Paul?
I didn't know who her dad was.
No, she doesn't know.
I saw Confero.
I saw Confero. No, I wasn't.
You saw shit!
Paul!
Paul!
He's such a liar!
Don't worry.
He's such a liar.
We've got the moral high ground.
We've got the moral high ground.
We're actually at the moral high ground, aren't we?
Jesus.
You know, I thought bringing a ringer in would help this episode.
It actually is going to be completely opposite.
It's getting heated in here, man. So you have to
give me an answer to the question
that you have to put forward. Right.
And hope that it's a low
scoring answer.
James Boglin?
Bogart Boglin. James Bogart Boglin?
What are you talking about?
James Boglin! I love it! you talking about? James Boglin.
I love it.
He's got a very strong accent.
Oh, the director of the Muppet film is called James what?
Boglin Bogart.
No, no.
It's just a big cheat anyway.
They're cheating.
What does that mean?
You know what?
I'll tell you what.
I'm going to give them this now, but that means you're going to give me later in the show.
We don't need one like a joker.
We don't need to cheat.
We didn't cheat.
I thought you confirmed it.
We were catching up.
Was that a pointless answer?
We were catching up.
I'm being gaslit.
I'm being gaslit.
Hey, everyone.
It's all about the game.
The love of the game.
Hey, everyone.
Shut up, you fucking bellends.
Right, here we go.
So you picked James Bobbin as the director of the 2011 film the muppets yeah right
here we go so ebony's a scrooge was played by michael kane that would have got you 24 points
director uh the creative muppets was 49 for jim henson director of the muppet film in 2011 was
james bobbin which you got spot on that was three points wow wow wow nephew was robin the frog that
would have got you 13.
Robin the Frog.
And the woman who flirted with Parkinson was Miss Piggy,
and that would have been 92.
Robin, you know what?
Robin the Frog, Kermit's nephew, is a fucking annoying little shit.
I mean, you were straight in there with the strong opinions of it.
That's such an arse licker.
I'm halfway up the stairs.
Shut up.
That was all he ever did wasn't it
final question now
for
go all the way up
or come down
final question
for Mr Ethan

here we go
the topic is
famous people
and their catch phrases
oh
alright
hopefully this is
going to be a lot of fun
right here we go
I'm going to read out five catchphrases,
and you have to see which the person who said them was.
Here we go.
I'll even do impressions if you want, if it helps.
Shall I?
Why not?
Why not?
Let's make it fun.
Yeah.
First one.
Hello.
Good evening.
And welcome.
That's the first one.
Okay.

Or number five.
Ooh, shut that door.
I thought they were the same person.
I'll tell you what.
Why don't we clear out the cheating stuff early?
Why don't you tell me what the lowest one is,
and we'll do that one.
All right, the lowest one is
nice to see you to see you nice.
That's the lowest one, is it?
Yeah, I think you should go with that one.
Yeah, right.
You said we get a buy, and we get a buy.
Yeah, I didn't say it would be a good one.
What's going on?
What cheating?
Also, you said you didn't want one.
Yeah, well, I've changed my mind.
Well, it doesn't matter now.
What's this?
This is bullshit.
Don't you worry.
It's not going well for him.
That's true, actually.
Ethan Bruce Forsyth.
I think I'm being stitched up here.
This is a stitch up.
Yeah, it's not that.
That isn't the lowest score.
Which one of these cat traders?
I'll go for the lowest one.
Yeah, well, which one's that?
It doesn't matter.
Just tell me what it is.
No, I'm not going to.
I'm allowed to buy.
I'm allowed to buy.
You can give me an answer if you don't know the answer,
and I'll accept that.
That's a fair trade-off.
I'm not going to tell you the answer because I didn't tell.
Can we have them one more time, please, Paul,
without the excruciating impressions?
I'll tell you what.
We'll confirm if you're a liar what we'll confirm if you're a liar
we'll confirm if you're a liar
let's go for Bruce Forsythe
shall we
let's see if that one's the lowest
and then we'll confirm
your team's losing this
this is a conspiracy
your team's losing this
yeah
right here we go
here we go
so you picked Bruce Forsythe
did you
yeah

I'm going to give you
one last chance now to change your answer.
No, no, we're good, mate.
You carry on.
Carry on.
You're going to change the answer.
No, carry on, mate.
You're good.
All right.
Okay, in that case, hello, good evening, and welcome was said by, does anyone know?

It's not.
Larry Grayson did not say it.
I've got no idea.
Stu Francis.
Stu Francis.
Larry Grayson said, shut that door.
So, unfortunately, at the end of that, you've got 89. francis larry grayson grayson said shut that door yeah so unfortunately unfortunately because there is 89 an industrial level of cheating guys this is rife i don't know what you're talking about

All very well and good isn't it?
As we go on to the exciting
round 2 on to the exciting round two.
What's that from?
Strike it Lucky.
Strike it Lucky.
It's the best interstitial music
of all game shows.
It is.
Why is a hot spot not?
A not spot.
What is the answer to that?
I don't know.
A good spot.
Is that what they say?
I believe so.
It's not his best catchphrase
is it
what is a hot spot

you litigated this
on the last TV show
as well
did I
yeah we did
I was on that
we did
it was two years ago
no one remembers
I do
I'm a cheap show historian
round two
I'm going to read out
a question from the front
of the card
to all the players
or the teams at once
so that means you're
working together now
on this one
you're working
you're conferring
we've got buzzers
no you don't need buzzers
for it it's alright
can we just do a buzz noise
the question will read out
all the answers zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Do you like our buzzer noises, Paul?
Do you?
Do you?
No.
Do you want to hear our buzzer noises?
I went to a different place in my head then.
Right, so that's right.
Is it our team first?
Right.
Yes, it is this time, yes.
So round two.
Right, so I'm going to basically ask you the question. It's going to be the same question for you both, but there are two different answers. I'll ask this time. Yes. So round two, right? So I'm gonna basically ask you the question
It's gonna be the same question for you both, but there are two different answers
I'll ask you first and then give you a score and then I'm gonna ask you the second batch of answers
Do you need to lie down?
I just nearly twatted myself with the microphone.
I saw my life flash before my eye.
It wasn't very fun. A haunting experience for you.
I'm glad it could happen here today.
Right, so here is your question for Team Eli Thumb.
Gum, up your bum.
E-fi gum.
It's easy enough to remember. It's's not though uh when you've got a
brain like mine right here we go i'm gonna ask one question there are two sets of answers eli
gets to pick from the first set right here we go little britain is your topic oh fuck you know
any actor who is credited in seven or more episodes of little britain is that it yeah i
don't have to get anything right no he's got to guess which one of these names was the least answered for this question.
Oh, yes. Okay.
Right, so these appeared in seven or more episodes of Little Britain.
Is that right?
I don't know.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Where's the quiz element?
You've got to still guess which one was the least known actor from this list.
Wait, are there some in there that won?
Yeah.
No.
Okay, well, this is a shit game.
I don't know.
Eli.
Shitless.
So I just pick which name I think is the most least.
Yeah, because you might recognise more names over another.
So, like, I'll read it out.
Okay.
Anthony Head.
Uh-huh.
Did he?
Uh-huh.
David Walliams.
Ruth Jones.
Sally Rogers.
Stephen Aintree, David Tennant.
Which one of those do you think was the least known when asked?
Say them again.
One time.
Just one time.
Anthony Head, David Walliams, Ruth Jones, Sally Rogers, Stephen Aintree, David Tennant.
Ruth Jones.
She's worth 18.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
All right.
You got 18 for that then. In this second board, there are, ding, ding, ding. All right, you've got 18 for that then.
In this second board, there are wrong answers.
Oh, great.
All right.
That's fun.
So you've got James Corden, Matthew Horne, Steve Bentham, Steve First, Sterling Gallagher,
Tom Baker, or Lindsay Duncan.
Go for Steve Bentham.
Steve Bentham is a pointless answer.
Nice one.
You owe me 250 quid.
Do I?
Yeah.
In real life.
That's how it works in the show.
They add 250 quid to the jackpot.
You're never seeing it.
Why did I come here?
Right.
Good answer.
Your topic is the films of Sylvester Stallone.
Sylvester.
Is he?
Is he Sylvester? I heard helvester? Is he Sylvester?
Sylvester?
Is he like a robot action hero?
Sylvester Stallone.
No, he's a mime.
Mr Biffo, I'm going to read out seven Rocky films seven Sylvester Stallone films and I need you to tell me
which you think
is obviously
the least known of those
are there any wrong ones
there are
in this one
there are no wrong ones
there are a few wrong ones
in this one
here we go
I did you a solid
because you might have gone
for an excuse
so ones that
you shouldn't pick
because they
is not in
you get no points
well no you get 100 points
don't you if you get the wrong answer?
Yeah.
My God, your grasp on pointless is honestly dumbfounding.
It's eye-watering.
It makes it fun.
Right, here's your films.
Rocky II, Rocky IV, Rhinestone, Demolition Man, Rocky Balboa.
Slow down.
I'll start from the top.
Slow down.
Rocky II.
Not that slow.
Rocky IV. It's a happy 2. Not that slow. Rocky 4.
It's a happy medium.
Like Derek Okora.
Rocky 2.
Rocky 4.
Rhinestone.
Demolition Man.
Rocky Balboa.
Tango in Cash.
Escape to Victory.
Can you avoid the wrong answers and give me the pointless?
I'm going to say the pointless one, Escape to Victory, which he was definitely in.
Escape to Victory is a pointless answer.
Yeah, well done.
Well done there.
A lot of people forget
he was in that.
Yeah, a small bit.
And he did that
without cheating as well,
which is very impressive.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Yeah, I bet you don't, mate.
Are you ready, Octavius?
Here we go.
Keep an eye on Biffo.
I'm going to read out
the same number,
seven more.
Here we go.
First Blood,
Lock Up,
Daylight, Paradise Alley, Nighthawks
Over the Top or Cobra
I literally have
none of these questions are anything
that I would ever be able to answer
Have you got any questions that are about clinical depression
and being very lonely
Let me have a look
You're here with us now
I've got things that happened in Eli Silverman's life.
Oh, shut up.
Oh, right.
I get it.
I get it.
I get it.
Like, I'm never fucking lonely.
For fuck's sake.
Which one of those do you think is the least known?
I mean, think about it.
Think about what's the least known of these that you know of.
I'm just going to have a little bit of water.
Do you not fucking know the answer?
No, don't cheat.
I wasn't actually really listening.
Don't cheat.
If you cheat, I'll dock your points or add points.
I'm not quite sure how it works.
Add dock points.
Octavius would like you to read them out again.
All right.
Remember, there are wrong answers here as well.
Yes.
Right, so First Blood, Lock Up, Daylight, Paradise Alley, Nighthawks, Over the Top or Cobra.
Right, yeah.
You're the coughing major.
What the fuck is this?
I've got a movie.
I can't say.
It was...
I completely forgot.
Who was it?
Daylight? Maybe.
Daylight.
You say daylight.
It is a wrong answer.
So 100 points to you.
Wait a minute.
Yeah.
There are certain ones on here that you shouldn't answer.
He was in daylight.
He was in daylight, but it was such a well-known answer.
It's a wrong answer.
You should have gone with
over the top.
The wrong answers are ones
that he wasn't in.
No, but they put some wrong ones in,
which are the ones you just don't...
Now, how is it wrong?
How is it wrong
if it's the fucking question?
It's not a wrong answer
if he's in it.
It's almost like you pulled
these instructions out of your face,
Vagina.
This is what it says.
You did, didn't you?
There are questions where you don't...
They're all in there.
Just pulling them all out.
Paul, what is the question?
Read the top of the card for me.
Feature films are still Sylvester Stallone.
He's in all of them.
You've got to know the least popular one.
But you told me some of the ones that he hadn't done.
No, I didn't.
I said just the wrong answers.
How is it wrong?
It's not wrong.
They're just questions that I presume they don't give you...
I've never seen you.
Why is there a cross on it then?
You tell me.
Can I see the cross?
You tell me!
Can I see the cross?
What the shit is going on?
Let me have a look at this.
Oh, it's a Katy Perry question.
Is this literally what it was like when you went on the show?
No, it's much cleaner.
Here we go.
Here is the detail.
Here is the little detail.
If you just take a second to consider your environment
and fucking read things properly,
any feature film starring Sylvester Stallone released in the 1980s,
Daylight must have been.
I did say that, though.
No, you did not.
I did say that.
I did say that, though.
Roll the tape.
We all know Daylight was in the 90s.
Anyway, the point still stands
And at the end of that round
No it doesn't
Are you cheating on one
And now you
We would have totally
Got that one
That's our gimme
That's our gimme
Everything is right in the world
Don't you worry
That's your gimmick
Gimme I say
Your gimmick is
We're very optimistic
My gimmick is
Not cheating
Gimme gimme gimme
A man after daylight.
At the end of that round, the scores are
Biff Tavius, 104 points,
and Ethai Gum, 155 points.
They're catchable.
Round three is head-to-head.
Right.
The question is asked to all players
All the players answer in order of lowest
Right so that's side A to side A
What the fuck is going on with you
In this round players or teams
Ask to provide one answer to each question
Conferring is not allowed
Players must always write down
Once all the players or teams
Have given a single answer the question master
Will pull the card out and give Players or teams the scores in the last hour i feel like
i've aged about 10 years horrible day we thought we thought a couple of weeks ago was the darkest
day so i read a question right and then what i get answers from you each, and then we see...
I don't know, Paul.
Are you asking us?
I don't know.
You're actually asking us what you were meant to do.
Do you want me to read it?
Should I sort this out?
I can sort it out.
I'm going to ask a question to all of you.
Okay.
The team behind, which is you, get the first chance to pick a question, right?
Yes.
And then they get a chance to pick a question with what's left.
An answer, you mean, rather than the opposite words.
So here's the question for everyone.
Because they're behind,
they get to pick the first go at it
and then you get to pick what's left.
As a team. As a team, so you can confer.
Right, here we go. Round three,
head-to-head, is Wallace and Gromit
films. So, Eli,
Ethan, you're going first.
Are you familiar with these, Ethan?
A couple. We'll see what happens.
Here's what you're looking for. Any film
which stars the animated characters Wallace
and Gromit up to the end of
2010. This
includes short films and made for
television shorts.
Here are your answers.
A Grand Day Out,
A Close Shave. A close shave.
A matter of loaf and death.
The curse of the weir rabbit.
And the wrong trousers.
So, you're going to pick one of those.
It's not the wrong trousers are very famous, isn't it?
Of those, I'd go for loaf and death.
The wrong trousers are very famous.
One of those is very famous.
I'd agree.
It's got to pick.
We're ready to pick our answer. Which one are you going to pick?
Loaf of Death.
Matter of Loaf and Death. Right, I'll put that
down. Loaf, which gives you
these four left. Right, ready?
You have Grand Day Out,
Close Shave, We're a Rabbit, Wrong
Trousers. Which one do you want to pick for those?
That was their first one.
More cheese, Gromit.
Which of those have
you heard of?
All of them.
What's he doing there?
Does that with his
hands?
Is he wanking two
guys off?
Yes, he's wanking two
guys off into his face.
Yeah, into his face
vagina.
Is that how you get
your face pregnant?
No, it's not how I
inseminate my face.
Is that how Sheila
gets her face pregnant?
See, you're offended
but you started this.
I know.
Which one are you
going to go for?
I don't.
I can't remember
what I worked for.
One last time.
A grand day out,
a close shave,
wee a rabbit,
wrong trousers.
Well, when was
the wee a rabbit one?
That was like...
Well, okay,
that one.
That was...
But wasn't that
like 2012 or something?
I don't know.
I mean, I've kind of
been a shut-in
for the last 10 years
so I don't even know.
Go on.
Grand day out, close shave, wee a rabbit, trousers. Give me an answer now even know go on grand day out close shave we're rabbit trousers give
me an answer now we're going grand day out grand day out okay day out so what did you lot go for
a matter of loafing death so uh a grand day out watson gromit that would have got could we have
gone for the same one as him no there's no's no game then, otherwise. No, there's no game then.
Right, so Wallace and Gromit Granday out would have gotten you seven points.
Seventeen points, sorry.
Seventeen points.
A close shave.
Twelve points.
A matter of loaf and death, which is what you said, is just four points.
Oh, for God's sake.
Lowest one in the game.
The Were-Rabbit would have got you 30.
Wrong Trousers was 53.
So,
Grand Day Out got you 17, which isn't that bad.
It's not that bad. It was the one right in the
middle. The
highest rated one was the Wrong Trousers with 53.
I think Were-Rabbit was the
feature film, wasn't it? Yeah. Right. Next one. Oh, I'll tell with 53. I think Were-Rabbit was the feature film,
wasn't it?
Yeah.
Right, next one.
Oh, I'll tell you what,
I'll give you an option,
right, on vote,
so you can vote.
Which one do you want?
Do you want Friends characters
or South Park characters?
Hands up for Friends.
Hands up for South Park.
Great, don't put your hands up.
Is there any other option?
Yeah, in that case,
I'm going to give you

And there are a number of pointless answers here.
You can consider it.
Whitehouse is going to be the obvious one.
Yeah, it's not going to be Whitehouse or Hearn.
Or Higson, I don't know.
Or was Higson even in it?
Did he just write it?
No, he was in it.
Oh, no, yeah, yeah.
He was in it.
He was the painter.
I'm sort of leaning towards Colin McFarlane.
Yeah, but what was that other guy? Can we have the list one more time yeah one more time annabella weir carolina
hearn charlie hickson colin mcfarlane donna ewan errol maynard mark williams hold our holder paul
shearer paul whitehouse philip pope i i think i'm willing to go with you on this one Let's go for Errol Maynard Errol Maynard I'll put Maynard
Okay good
Same list for you
So Fascio characters who have appeared in 7 or more episodes
There are a few pointless answers
But here are the list
Annabella Weir, Carolina Hearn, Charlie Higson
Colin McFarlane, Donna Ewan
Errol Maynard
Mark Williams, Nick Holder, Paul Shearer,
Paul Whitehouse, Philip Pope.
Give us a name.
I'm going to go for Ewing or Shearer.
I haven't heard of them.
Either or.
Whatever.
Which one?
Ewing.
Well, Donna Ewing.
Donna Ewing.
Yeah.
Donna Ewing or which one did you say?
Shearer
Paul Shearer
You've got to pick one
Shearer
Shearer or
Ewan
The lad
Shearer
Alright, okay, here we go
Here are, because this is a long list
I'll just read out your answers
So, you guys picked What Here are, because this is a long list, I'll just read out your answers.
So you guys picked, what was it?
Sorry again.
Errol Maynard.
Errol Maynard.
And Errol Maynard is a pointless answer.
Well done, Eli. Thank you.
Well done.
There's several, so we might get it as well.
Paul Shearer.
I'll say well done if you get that.
You said Paul Shearer.
Paul Shearer is unfortunately also a pointless answer.
Well done.
Well done, guys.
Come on.
Well done.
No gloating.
Now, here we go.
They're dancing.
They're exercising.
Monkey yoga.
I like it.
It feels therapeutic.
It's good for the voice, isn't it?
Just like a real pointless poll.
It's how I remember it.
So at the end of that round,
Bif Tavius has 108 points
and
Ethai Gum has 172.
Oh dear.
They did very well in that matter of loaf and death.
Did very well, didn't they?
We're on to the final round.
Thank God.
Round four, the end game. One question
is asked. It's very exciting, isn't it?
Yes.
This round...
If two teams yes,
the question master asks the question
i'm having real trouble speaking that was physically difficult to hear i'm editing that
out we're all right i'm believing god master asks the players a question the difference in this round
is that the player or team who has accumulated the most points goes first
and gives three answers.
The team who has accumulated
the second most
gives two answers.
Alright,
then I reveal the scores
to each player
or team
and the answer is given.
And then the one
with the lowest
over those accumulative scores
gets the most.
Right,
so the catch-up mechanic
is that we get to pick
more answers
and we get the lowest one.
So here we go.
So we pick three and we take the lowest. You pick two and you take the lowest that's the catch
up so out of those no you picked no you picked two no they picked three because they're behind
we're currently losing so we've got this is the the manufactured yeah
catch-up mechanic so we keep saying catch-up mechanics
I'm going to keep saying catch-up mechanic.
Catch-up mechanic.
That's a character, Paul. Be the catch-up mechanic.
Hey, I'll do it.
I'll do it.
Hey, hey, wait, wait.
I need to fix your car.
I need to fix your car.
Wait.
No, come on, slow down a bit.
That actually might be your magnum opus.
With peaks.
I'm going to give you a bunch of topics for this last game, alright?
So do you want to play a game on
Disney films,
BAFTA-nominated animated films,
Hanna-Barbera cartoons, or James Elroy novels?
My Disney's alright.
Shall we go for Disney?
Do we get to pick?
I'm offering it to all of you now.
Do we both?
I know James Elroy.
It's only one question.
Which of those four would you all like to have a crack at
pick one of these
to be the question
we might not agree with it
how are we meant to come to this conclusion
we flip two coins
if it's side A
flick a four sided coin
we flip coin A and coin B
but we both have an A and B side
It's like a round robin
So whichever one wins
Then we put the coins on
Then that goes in
And then you put the coins on to Paul Smith
And then his mouth
Then we fill out a form in triplicate
And then we submit that
Okay so
I'm just going to pick a topic
The topic is
Yeah you're the games master
Take fucking control
Don't pick that author one We're going to do James Ellroy novel No we're not We're going to pick a topic. The topic is... Yeah, you're the games master. Take a fucking control. Don't pick that author one.
We're going to do James Ellroy novel.
No, don't.
We're going to do
Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters.
It's enough to know that...
It's one of those topics
that you kind of know a little bit about
but not enough to be authoritative.
I've got an obscure one in my head.
Because we had a VHS of it.
What, this game?
No.
You've got to put it on the VHS to put the VHS on to record Pointless.
Can we watch Pointless, mum?
Can we watch Pointless, mummy?
Can we watch it?
Our bloody VHS.
Hey, why don't I reprise my role as the catch-up mechanic,
as if it was a Hanna-Barber.
Oh, I'd like to...
Oh, I'd really like to fix your car.
Wait for me.
Where are you going?
Wait for me.
Is that the start of a porn?
It is.
I've got a ratchet.
I'm going to...
Get right in there.
Shut up.
Here we go.
So, Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters.
Don't yell.
Names of animated characters from Hanna-Barbera cartoons
I'm going to read out a long list
Right
And then you're going to pick
You pick three
And then you'll pick two
Should we do one one one one one
Yeah we'll do it that way
Okie dokie then

Can we have Astro for our first answer?
Let's have Astro for the first answer.

Johnny Quest.
You want to stick with Johnny Quest?
Yeah, fuck it.
It doesn't matter, does it?
Ethan's checked out.

That saves time, doesn't it?
So, starting here.
Astro, you said. Astro you said
Astro gets you
one point
good answer
173
Doggy Daddy
that could be
yes Paul
Doggy Daddy is
the pointless answer on that

You said.
The game's over.
Let's just move on.
Oh, Dino.
Dino.
Da-da-da-da.
Oh, Dino.
Oh, Dino.
Dino is worth 16 points.
So you are now at 189, plays 108. Dino is worth 16 points.
So you are now at 189, plays 108.
So you said Jane Jetson.
And Jane Jetson gets you one point.
Well done.
How much was Elroy?
Elroy was, I think, a little higher.
Where has it gone?
Well done.
Nice Jetson selection there.
Jetson selection. Jetson selection.
I had a few of their records.
I've got a Hot Wheels special edition
Jetson Flying
Saucer. With the bubble
calf. I got you that, didn't I?
No.
I didn't. I bought it
in a charity shop
in Florida or something. No, it was an actual shop.
In Florida?
Yes.
A charity shop's not actual shops, then.
It's not in his mind.
The truth comes out.
Nearly episode three.
You said Johnny Quest.
Johnny Quest was worth one point.
That's good.
We did good on that.
We did.
But unfortunately, the winner of Pointless is...
Unfortunately.
Team Bifftavious with 109 points,
playing Ethan Gumbs, 190 points.
Yay!
So that's a point to Team A.
Hooray!
Right, I'm going to have a stroke.
I'm going to talk to you about it after these advertisement breaks.
God, that was a struggle.
Can you wait until I press stop before you say shit like that?
So I was on my way out to the post
office where number 52,
when her intended to be, walks in.
Cashing a postal order for the wedding
conception. Oh, the stingy.
So I thought as I was there, I'd get them something
for the conjoogles.
Greetings, Carl.
A book of home help stamps.
She's a stranger to Ajax.
That Ethel painting that was, come then,
got one premium bond from the post office on £140,000.
She never.
Now, it's tufted shag in the front room,
and she's on interchange of black and white licence to colour.
That young Gavin was in buying Sonia a first-day cover.
Say she's into
and he wanted a game license game for anything if you ask me
question what's britain's biggest selling weekly magazine the answer is what's on tv with at least eight competitions to enter each week and hundreds of prizes to be won Imagine it's Saturday evening
You've all had your dinner
It's time to sit down in front of the TV
BBC One
Because it's 7 o'clock
And who's on?
Why, it's everyone's favourite friend
It's Bruce Forsyth's Generation Game
And that's what we're playing in this segment
Hooray!
It's Bruce Forsythe's Generation Game,
and that's what we're playing in this segment.
Hooray! Hooray!
Hold on. Life is the name of the game
And I want to play the game with you
Life can be terribly tame
If you don't play the game with two
And I want to play the game with you
Yes, we're playing the Generation Game want to play the game with you.
Yes, we're playing the Generation Game and I found a few versions of the Generation
Game as board games in the past
but this is, I think, the original.
This is by Strawberry
Fair Games, who I've never heard
of. It's a lovely design, very
redolent of the period in which
it was manufactured. It's very
I mean, what, this would have been 70
something? What year is it?
Monstrous bollocks.
What?
Monstrously
ugly bollocks.
Are you having your own podcast?
I am. I'm always having my own podcast.
This is 1975,
this board game.
That must have been after only the first or second series of Gen Game,
as we call it.
Was Brucey there from the start, or was it Larry Grayson at first?
No, it was Brucey first, then Grayson,
and then obviously Brucey again, and then Davidson.
Davidson.
Jim Davidson used to present this?
Really? I didn't know that.
The BBC had this weird fascination with making Jim Davidson. Jim Davidson used to present this? Yeah. Really? I didn't know that. The BBC had this weird fascination
with making Jim Davidson
cuddly TV host.
It was like Big Breakin'.
Yeah, he was.
The racist wife-beater Jim Davidson.
Yeah, let's make him
a primetime TV cuddly host.
And that was my era as well.
That was my introduction
to the Generation Game
just casually putting women down.
So it is a hugely successful game,
the Generation Game. Generation Game was bad. I remember seeing it as a kid. I loved it. I. So it is a hugely successful game, The Generation Game.
The Generation Game was bad.
I remember seeing it as a kid.
I loved it.
I remember seeing it as a kid
and not being able to understand
what was going on.
Well, no, basically the show is
Bruce Forsyth invites couples on
of various,
like if they're related by blood
or by marriage or whatever,
and then he belittles them
in what they do for a career
and then pushes them into
a pottery table
to make shit pottery.
Oh, yeah, it's like challenges.
Comment upon shit pottery and then go... Why is pottery table to make shit pottery. Oh, yeah, it's like challenges. Comment upon shit pottery.
And then go...
Why is it called The Generation Game?
Because the families on the show
were like a father and a daughter
or a brother and a sister.
It was like a family game.
That's what they meant by generation.
It was my...
I dreamed of going on it,
both when I was a child,
but unfortunately neither of my parents
were wanting to go on it.
And then when I had kids myself,
I dreamed that my daughter and I one day would go on it together, but it neither of my parents would have wanted to go on it. And then when I had kids myself, I dreamed that my daughter and I
one day would go on it together, but it's not on anymore.
It did bring it back with Sue
Perkins and the other one, Mel and Sue.
Oh, but it didn't work, did it? I didn't watch
it, unfortunately. For me, the last time
I watched anything like that was Vic and Bob's Family's at War.
Oh, there's a quote from Brucey on the front of this.
Is there? He's endorsed it.
You can
have hours of fun
playing this fabulous game
based on my TV show.
And it is really great
to be one of the four players
to generate.
What does that mean?
And it is really great
to be one of the four players
to generate.
That's the sentence.
No, they used to go,
let's make the players
who are ready to generate.
Oh, I see.
I'm ready to generate.
I'm ready to manufacture. No, don see. I'm ready to generate. I'm ready to manufacture.
No, don't.
I'm ready to produce.
No.
Out of your face, Fanny's.
I'm ready to come.
I'm generating from my facial vulva.
Three, two, one.
Generate.
Face, vagina, vagina, face.
Nine or ten
tiny Bruce's
running around
and here come
the little Bruce's
now
and a little
hoard of little
Bruce's
oh little Bruce's
all hoarding around
it's a monkey
lie
Bruce
and it ends
with just a
he's written down
Alright my loves
Alright my loves
Alright my loves
Alright my loves
Now
Who agrees with me
But this hairstyle
Brucey
Is the most scary
It's weird
It's the most lamby
It looks like Shakespeare
You can smell
Yeah
It is
It is Shakespeare's head
It's
Yeah
But don't you feel like
You can smell the lamby grease
Of his chops What do you mean the lamby grease of his chops?
The lamby grease of his chops.
There's a redness of smell coming off, yeah, his muttony, lamby hair.
His oily, his oily, lamby hair.
Nice to see you.
Don't you think that's the most scary incarnation?
His sort of mid-summer.
Yeah, it's before he trimmed those muffs that he had around his ears.
No, his scariest was his last when he was doing, like, Strictly Ballroom.
And it was like watching The Living Dead present the TV show.
He was all haunted and all hunched over.
I always thought Bruce Forsythe had chimpanzee's eyes.
If you look at his eyes.
Like a collection?
No, don't be...
Look at my eyes.
They're chimpanzee eyes. If you look at his eyes, A chimp has these eyes.
If you look at his eyes, they are chimp's eyes.
What does that mean?
I mean, they never even considered what...
Look at chimp's eyes.
They're the same as Bruce Forsythe's eyes.
You look.
I tell you what, here's a question.
What colour are Bruce's eyes?
Blue, I just saw them on the box.
I would have said brown.
Do chimps have blue eyes?
No, but there's something about his eyes.
You look at a chimp and then look at a Bruce Paul fight.
He's just saying he has simian eyes.
Simian eyes, there.
Do you agree, Octavius, that they are simian eyes?
Sure.
It's a great ultravox track, simian eyes.
Simian eyes.
Show me your eyes.
How was that bit in Prince Charming?
Does he go...
No, stop bringing that up.
Prince Charming.
in Prince Charming?
Does he go,
oh,
stop bringing that up. Prince Charming.
I'm ready to play the game.
Right.
I'm not quite sure.
You just seem to be
going off on one
in the corner.
I can go off on one.
Do you want to?
I'll tell you what,
we all need to do a five minutes of Brucey
just to get out of our system.
Five minutes?
Five minutes?
Yeah, five minutes.
That's a lot of Brucey.
I'll do five.
Five seconds of Brucey.
There's got to be more than that.
We're not getting out of our system.
For as long as we play this game.
30 seconds of Brucey in three, two, one, go. Go.
Here comes the boost babies.
The baby boosters.
Watch them scurrying around.
All right, my love.
Vagina face to vagina face.
That's the 20 seconds that it naturally peaked.
It really did.
Maybe it turns out you can't maintain it.
Octavius was enjoying it.
Short bursts.
Oh, I mean,
my life is flashed
in front of my eyes
so many times.
Well, at least
there were lots of highlights
along the way.
Hey, so Alan,
we're doing teams, aren't we?
So I'm basically
like Octavius's dad.
I mean, for the sake of...
Which I am actually
old enough to be a dad.
Did you know that?
Are you?
Yeah, well, if you're 33, I could be a young dad. Yep actually old enough to be a dad did you know that are you yeah well if you're 33
I could be a young dad
yep
actually I was a dad
at 18
so actually
this works
that was very young
yeah I know
wow
I didn't know you were that young
tell us a little bit
about yourself
you said you married young
I already have
did you
oh yeah
was it a quick
I didn't like the wink Paul
don't wink at me
don't ever wink at me again
Brucey Winks doesn't he
does he
he does the Brucey Wink
the famous Brucey Wink
he rolls his eyes
that's his whole thing
and then he does that thing
where he stares at the audience
he goes
he'll say to a woman
yeah
oh where'd you come from love
and she'll go what
and he'll go
I realise that works better on camera
but i tell you what right you know that's your dynamic father and daughter god what's this

Where have you come from today?
Where have you come from, dear?
Where have we come from?
Yeovil.
Yeovil?
Yeah, that's right, Yeovil.
What's great about Yeovil?
It's got great shops.
Good public transport connections.
Good transport.
These ones got off the bus, didn't they?
It's just gurning.
It's just gurning.
Oh, but it brings my faces just in a happy place when I do, Brucey.
Are we going to play this game then, or what?
Are we going to play this game?
Oh, we're ready to play the game called So the game... Oh, we're ready to play
the game called
Bloomington.
By the way,
just so you know,
hello,
I'm going to keep this up.
Just so you know,
I'm Grandad,
this is my adopted grandson.
I'm adopted.
Yeah, and we're here
to play the fucking game.
So we're the generation.
We're keeping up
our...
We're from Yeovil and we're keeping up our end from the oval
and we're keeping
up our end of the
bargain so could
we play the game
now please
oh yes we'll play
the game right away
dear let's get going
so the board game
version is kind of
nice it comes with
this little stand
with a little 1970s
backdrop with little
it's got score
rotators on the side
all joking aside
it's in lovely
condition that's as
old as me that
board game
yeah
and it's really
very well preserved
unyellowed
and with an
extreme 70s aesthetic
I love the colours
which are very 70s
which I
remember
we had an album
in our house
had the similar shade
of blue
love it
yeah
Brucey's face
right in the middle
with his simian eyes
yes
simian eyes
no monkey about for you today is there no monkey about ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh in the middle with his simian eyes yes he's there that was a callback paul it was it was a good callback right so it's a nice little stand and
it's got all the games that we're going to play on the bottom now some of them don't really work
as well as you'd like so i'm going to adapt them as we go but the fundamentally we take terms and
teams to roll the dice.
The dice will determine
what game you play.
And then you'll play it
and you'll have a certain amount of time
because look,
there's a little clock built in as well.
Oh.
It's motorized.
It's got a mechanic.
Yeah.
A time mechanic.
Yes.
And another character.
Time mechanic.
What year is this?
Fixing things.
I've broken my time machine.
I need a special part.
Oh my God, someone in 1886.
Time machine?
That'd be great.
There you go.
Through that wormhole with his big spanner.
He's got a time spanner.
I'm just repeating what you said.
Like an echo.
So we're going to toss the go first again. Okay. Oh again okay all right can we be so be this uh right
here we go oh god he can't even toss correctly actually i tossed brilliant then because i tossed
to the wrong hand and caught it in my bad hand and then flipped it onto my good hand i would have
said you got bad hand yeah tails so do you want to go first or second guess we'll go first yeah
so these are going to be activities that you'll be playing with these
assorted accoutrements
in the box.
Okay.
It's like a spoon
and some spoons
and some balls in there.
What do we have to do then?
Spoon your balls.
You can roll the dice
onto the table, right?
And then the dice roll
will determine what games.
If you roll a two
and a four,
you'll play game six.
So do we play the games
together or one at a time?
I'm going to play it so you have to play together. together or one at a time are you i'm gonna play
it so you have to play together i'm gonna go for a roll now right great stuff brilliant do you want
to just say three three and four we've got seven snake eyes no that's not
the wonky eyes no it's not what is snake eyes two. Surely it's got to be two ones. Yeah, it's because it's eyes, isn't it?
If you had two fours, it would be spider eyes.
Yes.
Why have I never done that?
Compound eyes.
Compound eyes.
Six and six.
Six and six.
Sorry.
That was because you were glugging that tea.
Yes.
What did you roll?
That was directly in the microphone.
Snake Eyes 7.
That would be nice to edit out.
Snake Eyes 7.
Put five balls
into the beaker
formed by a large
and small cups
and try and shake them out.
You score one point
for every ball
that comes out
and you have 30 seconds
to do it.
I've only got four balls here.
I went to the British Museum
at the weekend
and all the penises
were missing
or been snapped off
of all the statues.
It's really weird.
But then there was one statue which had, they all just have a lot of hole.
And it said that they would make the phalluses separately.
And what, put them back on?
Well, no, put them on originally, but they've all either been stolen or...
What, the erect ones?
There was an erect one that was, there's a...
I tell you, I'm you you see this on the
generation game
it's marvellous
but it's just a hole now
because the willy's
been taken out of it
or that's
stolen
didn't Oliver Cromwell
wasn't there sort of
puritanical movements
which would have
yeah it didn't explain
why they're gone
but they
because they were
created separately
not as part of the
statue as a whole
I've never seen a statue
with an erect penis
yeah this one did
it's supposedly something to do with penis. Yeah, this one did.
It's supposedly something to do with Tutankhamun, this one.
And he's holding it. But it's just a big hole where his hand is.
His mother was reading it out to other kids.
If you want a part of the world, there's a lot of stone penises.
India.
There's a lot of stone penises down there.
What do you mean, what's going on?
Can we stop talking about lost, missing or vandalised penises? India. There's a lot of stone penises down there. What do you mean, what's going on? Can we stop talking about
lost, missing,
or vandalised penises?
Can we stop?
No, another one was
Connie Burrow Ferret.
You know what?
I'm off.
Right, so here's the game.
I've put the four balls in here, right?
There's five balls,
it's meant to be.
There's obviously one missing.
Can't have everything.
And you've got 30 seconds
to shake them out
into that box so they don't go everywhere, right? And you've got 30 seconds to shake them out into that box
so they don't go everywhere, right?
And you get a point
for every ball
that comes out
in that time.
Ready?
So, Eli,
do you want to take this one?
Because this is not an activity
we can do together.
You might, Kat.
You could.
You could hold the cup together.
Go on.
No.
You can't do a weird thing.
Both shake it together.
He's your little orphan.
Right, I'm setting the clock.
Oh!
Here we go. Come and help grab together. He's your little orphan. I'm setting the clock. Here we go.
Coming up, Grandad shakers ball cup out.
That's one of our many deities.
Right, I'm setting it to 30 seconds.
Are you ready?
I'm ready.
Your time starts.
Grandad, go.
One ball.
Oh, it's not as easy as it looks, is it?
He's got one ball out.
Started well.
I thought you had better wrist action than that, Silverman.
Two balls.
You've got five seconds left.
Three soft balls.
Four.
That's all the balls.
That's all the balls.
Well played.
I think you should have put less time on the clock
given there was one ball missing.
Well, they're still
only getting four
points.
They could have got a
maximum of five when
you think about it.
So they're down one
anyway.
So I'm going to add
it to the time.
Look at this.
Four points.
Four points.
Hooray.
Good one, Eli.
Thank you.
Right.
Team, you, you,
Biftavia.
Thank you very much. Where's the dice going? Roll the dice to find out what game you're playing go for it. You can go fair
Always everything snake guys, that's the joke. Yeah.
You've explained it.
Should have left it as a mystery.
Okay, this is the one you have to do together.
Oh, do we?
You're going to have balls and you're going to catch them or you can do vice versa.
You've got that little cup there
and you've got the lid open so you can have that.
You want to catch or throw?
I'll catch balls, why not? What am I doing? I've got to throw open, so you can have that. Do you want to catch or throw? I'll catch balls.
Why not?
So what am I doing?
I've got to throw them out of the cup?
No.
Someone's just going to try and throw them.
Okay, there you go.
Into the cup.
So here are the balls.
You've got to try and throw them into the cup that you hold.
It's kind of that simple.
That sounds easy, doesn't it?
Yeah.
Well, that was kind of an easy game.
When you think about just shaking balls.
These balls aren't as soft as I was expecting.
No.
I thought they were like fabric or something.
Or like cotton wool balls. Oh, no, no. They're lovely little plastic balls. These balls aren't as soft as I was expecting. I thought they were fabric or something. Or like cotton wool balls.
They're lovely little plastic balls
straight from the throat of
Bruce Forsythe himself. The throat.
He just pinches his neck.
And it rolls out below his...
Why?
It's all eggs and faces are eggs.
He's ovipositor.
He's throat ovipositor.
Has he been alien oviposited in his throat? Forsythe His ovipositor, his throat ovipositor. Has he been alien oviposited
in his throat?
Four slaves ovipositor.
His simian eyes
and his alien throat ovipositor.
It's that way it goes.
It's that way it goes.
And the eggs come out.
All the things on the conveyor belt
he's laid from his ovipositor.
Like behind the scenes he's like like
the alien queen it's all the other things just producing a black and decker sander
when it comes out they have to mop it down
all the juices off the slime the amniotic fluid yeah it's a wash with amniotic fluid
and that's what he uses to start his hair.
Mutton.
Right.
Let's move on.
So you have 40 seconds, a little bit more time to get the balls in.
I'm literally just holding the...
Yeah.
I know, right?
You can move it around.
Why would I...
Aren't we on the same team?
Yeah, you've got to try and catch them.
I'm throwing.
Yeah, but if I literally just stay here, then...
Well, I'm not a very good thrower.
I'm an old man.
Yeah.
Well, it might be that you want to hold it down
so it doesn't bounce out when he throws it in.
So you might want to have to soften the impact.
I think, yeah.
So here we go.
40 seconds starting from...
Go.
One. One.
Two. You see there's a bit of action going on.
Got 15 seconds. You can keep throwing balls until you run out of time.
Quick. You got right.
Here we go.
It's all going everywhere. The time is broke.
Quick.
God, it's a bit, this bit folks falling over.
There's eggs everywhere.
There's ovipositor erupting everywhere.
There's one over there.
The whole stage is awash with amniotic fluid.
Game over.
I have my knee. You seem in danger. The whole stage is awash with amniotic fluid. Game over.
I have my knee.
I know, Octavius.
You seem in danger.
Too much action.
What happened?
I literally, I literally,
I'm just going to have to sort of ooze underneath the microphone for a second.
Right, we're back after that,
and you scored two points,
so I'm going to add two points to the scoreboard on this.
Do we get to roll?
Yeah, hang on.
One, two.
No, I feel like I should get more points for having nearly died.
Yeah, I think you don't get insurance points.
Oh, come on.
So it currently stands at the end of round one.
Team E-Thigh Gum has got four points.
And Team Biff Tavius is two points.
Two points. Biff Steak. I don't know how he does it there. Biff Tavius is two points. Two points.
Two points.
Biffsteak.
I don't know how he does it.
So if you've got the dice, it's time to roll.
That's what they call it, isn't it?
Biffsteak.
The French.
Oh, I'm really confused.
B as in Biffsteak.
Oh, I see.
Biffsteak.
OK, Ethan, you roll at this time.
Three Snake Eyes.
Snake Eyes for three eyes Snake eyes for three
Snake eyes for three
Right, okay, so with this game
Spoon
Spoon
You get the spoon
Spoon one another
You get this big red ball
Yeah
And where's that blue cup gone?
Everything involves the blue cup
Put it on your head
Right
Right
And then take the ball
And drop it into the cup from on your head
And every time you can do that, you get a point
Now, Eli, you can hold the cup on his head if you want to steady it.
That's fine.
Right.
You have to put the spoon on the ball and then put it in.
It's really weird.
It's a weird game.
It is weird.
It's like spooning balls into your head.
They used to do pottery. You have 30 seconds to get as many red balls in. Well, as many spooning balls into your head. See, at the time, they used to do, like, you have... Pottery.
You have 30 seconds to get as many red balls in,
well, as many times as that red ball in.
How do we get the ball out once it's gone in?
Just tip it out.
You can take it out.
It's not there forever.
There isn't any way to get it out.
Just tip it onto your hand.
Ready?
And your time starts now.
Live is the name of the game.
No, I think that's not.
Elo can't move it.
Yeah, you can't move the cup.
You're cheating.
That's cheating.
That's not allowed.
So here we go.
Cancel that one.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
Oh, it's not as easy as it looks.
It's actually a funny action.
Yeah, right.
He's lifting it up, but it's hard.
He's tipping it in.
Oh, it's one point.
You've got 10 seconds.
Can you get another one in?
Oh, it's quick.
Six seconds.
It's like he's wearing a funny little hat. Two points get another one in? Oh, it's quick. Six seconds. Five.
Two points.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.
That's it.
It's all over.
That was harder than it looked.
Two points taking you to six overall.
Well played.
Imagine if you ate through a pipe in your head.
That would be difficult.
Brain food.
Yeah.
You had no mouth
well
in that Star Wars
holiday special
doesn't that guy
Harvey the actor
who goes to the bar
and he gets the drink
and he pours it
into his head
doesn't he
I don't know
remember that
he goes and sits
in front of B. Arthur
who's that
Harvey Wallbanger
yeah
Harvey Wallbanger
that's the name
of the drink
did you wake up
and just decide
to get involved
in this conversation
is that what happened
he went
I shit in here
Harvey what does Harvey Worldbanger?
Harvey Worldbanger, that's funny, isn't it?
I'll try it.
I'll say spoff now.
Oh, I'm not going to say that.
Oh, I didn't hear what.
In my back pocket, I've got my mechanic gag, haven't I?
Well, now that you mention it.
Yeah, you do.
Don't waste it.
So it's your go now, used to.
So roll the dice to play the game.
Octavius, would you like to roll again?
Because it means I have to bend down and hold.
Snake eyes.
Snake.
Six.
Snake eyes.
Number six.
Oh, we did that one again.
So let's just do a different game.
Let's do a different game.
Oh.
The clock's falling off.
Oh, no.
I've got it.
I've got it.
Because we jinxed it by saying what lovely condition it was in.
Oh, okay. It's not in condition now. No, we fax got it. I've got it. We jinxed it by saying what lovely condition it was in. Oh, okay.
It's not in condition now.
No, we fucked it.
Okay.
This is going to be an interesting one.
I think...
How can you both do this one?
I'm ready to complete.
It's a generate for the generation game.
Nice to have a chin about my own.
This is a good game Paul
This is a good game
This one
Is kind of very simple
There are four balls
In this cup
Are these all
This fucking cup
I just call it
The cup game
I call it
The fucking stupid
Generation cups
The fucking stupid cup
Shits
The cup-eration game
You've got to
Pour it out
And try and get them to stick on the hole.
There's a little ring on the table,
ladies and gentlemen,
listening at home, boys and girls,
that has five holes in.
There are four balls in this little cup.
You've got to tip them out
and try and get them to roll
and stay in the holes.
You can do that as many times
as you want to get it done,
but at the end of 45 seconds,
your search engine needs burning.
You've got to
roll them till they stay on the little thing like that.
It's harder than it looks, isn't it, Paul?
Anyway, best of luck, Biffo.
That looks like a shit game, Paul.
That looks shit. Sorry to be a downer.
Should we try with a spoon?
Have you made this game up?
Yeah. You've made this one up.
Why aren't we playing one on the actual game? What the fuck is this? What do you do? Why haven't you made this game up? Yeah. You've made this one up? No. Why are we playing one on the actual game?
What the fuck is this?
What are you doing?
That's what it says.
Why have you made this up?
That's what it says.
Let's move on.
This is shit.
It's a game.
Literally, look.
It says roll them out of the cup into the tray.
Do a different game.
It's shit.
Give it another one.
All right.
Let's give you a different game.
I don't like this, Paul.
All right.
We're not having fun, Paul.
Pick a fun one, Paul. Paul. This is the last game. And
then the winner will go on to the memory card. Right cubes. We'll mix it up in a cup by any
chance. Yeah. Oh my God. The. Oh, delicious. The cube potatoes.
And then you've got to bounce a ball to knock some off.
We're going to lose the balls all over the place again.
Let's do the big one so you can't... You are shit at that.
No, I'll do it.
Well, no, it's not your go.
It's their go, so they can take turns, all right?
Okay.
So you'll have a chance at bouncing it,
but it's got to bounce and then...
Oh, sorry.
Oh, my God. have a chance at bouncing it but it's got a bounce and then oh sorry yes oh my god
i thought you were gonna go mama
i apologize everyone listening for all the mic banging i'm gonna edit as much as i can out but this is a nightmare right so again're going to bounce it off the table and onto the sponges to knock them off.
For every one you knock off, you get a point.
So there's a maximum of three points available.
Right.
Who wants to go first?
Sure.
God, just hand it over.
That's great.
I can't catch stuff.
Right.
Here we go.
You've got 45 seconds starting from now.
Oh, two down. So, there you go. You got 45 seconds starting from now. Oh, two down.
So there you go.
Count still stands.
I have a very bouncy hand.
They keep bouncing it to no avail.
Eli grabs it and throws it back to bouncy hands.
And it's all over again, everyone.
Smashed it Welcome back my friends
To the show
He didn't use that
On the show
Three points
They did
Oh
Three points
So at the end of that round
At the end of the final round
Because fucking death
It is
It is
Six points
To
Ethan and Eli
Yes And they're five points To Biffo And Octavius But it's alright It is. It is. Six points to Ethan and Eli. Yes.
And they're five points to Biffo and Octavius.
It's all right.
You're both going to play the memory game.
When we add up all the scores,
how many you remember,
then the points could still change.
The points could still change.
There's only one point in it.
So on this board game version of Generation Game,
there's a nice little kind of plastic frame you attach to it,
and it allows you to reveal
the cards from behind
the secret door.
And I'm going to put eight in
and I'm going to show you
eight in a row
and then close the door
and then you've got,
I think it's 20 seconds
to name as many as you can
right from that eight.
And you'll both get a chance
to gather go of it.
See though where the doors are.
They should have put a bit higher
so they were on his throat.
A bit higher?
A bit higher.
And then his over-positor
could have come out.
That's what this game needs. He's trying to lay things
on the floor. It needs a
mechanical
throat-based ovipositor
to come out and dunk
a slimy egg on the...
An egg which contains
a tees made.

Tomorrow night on Cheap Show TV,
Willy Wanker pops over to another great British farm
to check out the lives and livestock of this fascinating industry
in Willy Wanker's Country File.
Hello, I'm down at the farm, I'm down at Whipsnade Farm,
and I'm here speaking to the owner of the farm,
Daniel Whipsnade.
Hello to you.
Hello there, yes, nice to meet you.
Now, I've been asked to ask you some fucking questions
about your sexy fucking animals.
Sorry, I thought it was about the dairy production.
Yeah, I'll tell you about dairy production.
Make fucking hell.
Well, yeah.
Yeah, you're fucking lovely.
So tell me more about your cows.
We've got a cheese herd.
Oh, I...
And we've also got pigs.
Aye, aye, little stinky pigs. Aye, a little stinky pigs.
Horses.
It shouldn't be legal what you do here.
It's a full farm.
And of course we produce eggs.
Aye, do you?
Right, well, why don't you show me around the farm
and give me five minutes with the sheep?
All right, put your wellies on.
I pardon.
