Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and a very warm welcome to this special

0:00:220:00:26

impressionist edition of Pointless Celebrities.

0:00:260:00:29

The show where the aim of the game is to avoid the obvious answers and

0:00:290:00:32

find the obscure ones.

0:00:320:00:34

Let's meet today's Pointless Celebrities.

0:00:340:00:37

And couple number one.

0:00:400:00:42

Hi, I'm Francine Lewis and I was on Britain's Got Talent in 2013 as a

0:00:420:00:48

finalist.

0:00:480:00:49

I'm Danny Posthill, I was a finalist on Britain's Got Talent in 2015.

0:00:490:00:54

APPLAUSE

0:00:540:00:58

Couple number two.

0:00:580:01:00

I'm Matt Ford, I'm an impressionist and a big supporter of

0:01:000:01:03

Nottingham Forest.

0:01:030:01:05

I'm Rory Bremner. On a good day, on a bad day, I'm Nigel Farage.

0:01:050:01:08

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:01:080:01:11

Couple number three.

0:01:130:01:15

I'm Jan Ravens and I'm from Dead Ringers and I'm very surprised,

0:01:150:01:19

-AS ANNE ROBINSON:

-Alexander, that you've taken over my tea-time quiz crown!

0:01:190:01:23

LAUGHTER

0:01:230:01:25

And I'm Jon Culshaw, also from Dead Ringers.

0:01:250:01:29

APPLAUSE

0:01:290:01:31

And finally, couple number four.

0:01:340:01:36

Hello, I'm Ronni Ancona,

0:01:360:01:38

I used to do Big Impression with this gentleman here, where I did people

0:01:380:01:41

like Lorraine...

0:01:410:01:43

-AS LORRAINE KELLY:

-Welcome back, if you've just joined us, don't worry, you'll get a job soon, so you will.

0:01:430:01:47

..Kelly. And various people, and...

0:01:470:01:50

And I'm Gary Lineker and today I've assumed the facial shape and physical

0:01:500:01:55

characteristics of Alistair McGowan.

0:01:550:01:57

ALEXANDER LAUGHS

0:01:570:01:59

APPLAUSE Thank you very much, all of you.

0:01:590:02:02

We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show as it goes along,

0:02:020:02:05

so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce. He is the real McCoy.

0:02:050:02:09

Although, having said that, we did get him cheap in a Hong Kong street

0:02:090:02:12

market. It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.

0:02:120:02:15

-Hiya. Hi, everybody.

-APPLAUSE

0:02:150:02:17

Good evening to you.

0:02:180:02:20

-And to you.

-You know, sometimes when we do this show and we have,

0:02:200:02:23

like, historians or newsreaders or professors or things like that and it's

0:02:230:02:27

such an easy evening, isn't it, it's lovely, they all behave themselves.

0:02:270:02:30

There's just something about looking at these eight people that makes you think it might be a long evening!

0:02:300:02:34

Do you know what I mean? But I suspect an immensely fun one as well.

0:02:340:02:39

-A nice first round. Everyone's going to have a little crack at this first round, it'll be a good one.

-Lovely.

0:02:390:02:43

Thanks very much, Richard. Now, as usual, all of today's questions have been put to 100 people

0:02:430:02:47

before the show. Our contestants here are on the lookout of course for those all-important pointless

0:02:470:02:51

answers, these being answers that none of our 100 people gave.

0:02:510:02:54

Find one of those and we'll add £250 to the jackpot.

0:02:540:02:58

Now, as today's show is a celebrity special,

0:02:580:03:00

each of our lovely celebrities here is playing for a nominated charity.

0:03:000:03:03

We are going to start off with a jackpot of £2,500.

0:03:030:03:07

There we are.

0:03:070:03:08

Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:03:100:03:13

OK, now, just remember this.

0:03:170:03:19

The pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be

0:03:190:03:22

eliminated. Best of luck to all four pairs.

0:03:220:03:25

Our first category this evening is...

0:03:250:03:29

-It's a people round.

-A nice broad one!

-Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go

0:03:290:03:32

first, who's going to go second?

0:03:320:03:34

And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:03:340:03:37

OK. So our question concerns...

0:03:400:03:43

Yeah, we're going to show you a board of famous people,

0:03:470:03:50

all of whose surnames begin O'.

0:03:500:03:52

Can you identify the most obscure people on this board?

0:03:520:03:55

15 in all to have a go at home.

0:03:550:03:56

OK, shall we have a look at that image? Here it comes.

0:03:560:04:00

15 people, all of whose surnames

0:04:010:04:03

begin with O', and obviously

0:04:030:04:06

you're going to try and find the

0:04:060:04:07

-most obscure. Francine.

-Yes.

0:04:070:04:09

Huge welcome to Pointless. It's lovely to have you here. Now how was BGT?

0:04:090:04:12

I mean, is that as gladiatorial as it looks?

0:04:120:04:15

I mean, do people look after you, is it a nice show?

0:04:150:04:18

-IN GEORDIE ACCENT:

-I was totally, utterly nervous, do you know?

0:04:180:04:21

But I bet they couldn't believe they had somebody like me,

0:04:210:04:26

Cheryl Versace-Versace, a superstar on there.

0:04:260:04:29

-LAUGHTER

-But, no, I loved it.

0:04:290:04:32

Yeah, no, I loved it.

0:04:320:04:34

It was such a great opportunity to go and showcase what I do and having

0:04:340:04:37

Ant and Dec on the show, Simon Cowell, oh, you can't beat it, really.

0:04:370:04:42

-It's amazing.

-Lovely.

0:04:420:04:44

Now, Francine, how are you feeling about these Os behind me?

0:04:440:04:46

Yeah, I know a couple of those.

0:04:460:04:48

I'm going to go for...

0:04:480:04:50

Sinead O'Connor.

0:04:500:04:52

Sinead O'Connor, says Francine.

0:04:520:04:54

Let's see how many of our 100 people went along with Sinead O'Connor.

0:04:540:04:57

It's right.

0:05:000:05:01

53.

0:05:040:05:06

53 for Sinead O'Connor.

0:05:060:05:09

Yeah, there's Sinead O'Connor

0:05:090:05:10

in the bottom right there.

0:05:100:05:11

Still best known for Nothing Compares 2 U.

0:05:110:05:13

There we are. Now, Rory, welcome to Pointless.

0:05:130:05:16

-Hello.

-Good to have you here.

0:05:160:05:18

Now, Rory, you've sort of been involved very much in political impressions,

0:05:180:05:21

-haven't you? That seems to be your...

-Well, no, I don't accept that at all.

0:05:210:05:25

-AS DAVID CAMERON:

-I, no, no, I don't accept that at all.

0:05:250:05:27

I think there are some pointless politicians and I think there's one

0:05:270:05:30

pointless politician, is, is, is Ed Miliband, who is here.

0:05:300:05:35

-AS ED MILIBAND:

-Well, look, it's great to be here and I think the most important thing

0:05:350:05:40

about Ed Miliband is the sort of bizarre head turn.

0:05:400:05:44

Alexander, look, it's about creating a new generation.

0:05:440:05:48

-And I think that proves the point.

-LAUGHTER

0:05:480:05:51

We've got a cabinet here, don't worry.

0:05:510:05:53

-I can see that.

-Or there's William Hague, who Jon does very,

0:05:530:05:56

very well indeed.

0:05:560:05:57

-AS WILLIAM HAGUE:

-Yes, well, you say that but we must find out what the William Hague

0:05:570:06:01

pronunciations of these people are.

0:06:010:06:05

-AS WILLIAM HAGUE:

-He was Foreign Secretary because, as we know,

0:06:050:06:07

we have a Prime Minister who thinks that Somalia is a wine waiter.

0:06:070:06:11

LAUGHTER

0:06:110:06:12

Right. Now, Rory, who would you like to go for?

0:06:140:06:17

OK, I think, I am going to go for,

0:06:170:06:21

in the middle row on the right,

0:06:210:06:22

I'm going to go for Richard O'Brien.

0:06:220:06:25

Richard O'Brien, says Rory.

0:06:250:06:26

Let's see how many of our 100 people went along with Richard O'Brien.

0:06:260:06:30

It's right. 53 is our only score and you pass it, look at that,

0:06:330:06:36

down it goes.

0:06:360:06:37

Richard O'Brien down at 14, Rory.

0:06:370:06:40

APPLAUSE

0:06:400:06:42

Look at that on podium two.

0:06:420:06:44

Yeah, wrote the Rocky Horror Picture Show, Richard O'Brien, and perhaps even more famously

0:06:450:06:49

-presented The Crystal Maze.

-There we are, thank you, Richard.

0:06:490:06:52

Now, Jan, Jan, talking about impressions,

0:06:520:06:54

do you work on your impressions on your own?

0:06:540:06:57

Do you find you sort of sit in a room on your own

0:06:570:06:59

and find a character?

0:06:590:07:01

N... Sometimes, sometimes they just sort of leap out at you and want to

0:07:010:07:05

be done. I mean, I remember when I first saw Fiona Bruce on the telly

0:07:050:07:09

and I just saw this person with this sort of glimmering stare going, "Hello,

0:07:090:07:13

"I'm Fiona Bruce, it's not just my eyebrows that go up and down all night."

0:07:130:07:17

And I thought, you know, what is this glimmering panther reading the news?

0:07:170:07:21

It just kind of completely came out at me, but some of them you do have

0:07:210:07:24

to sit at home and work on vowel sounds and you have to find a little...

0:07:240:07:27

I could never do Judi Dench until she did the Bond

0:07:270:07:30

films. When I heard her going, "So, James," you know.

0:07:300:07:33

-AS JUDI DENCH:

-It suddenly became clear that Judi Dench had that sort of slight lisp,

0:07:330:07:36

whereas when she'd been doing Shakespeare, I was sort of too intimidated by

0:07:360:07:39

-her, you know?

-Now, Jan. Look at all these Os.

0:07:390:07:42

OK.

0:07:420:07:44

I'll go for Mark O'Dowd.

0:07:440:07:46

Mark O'Dowd, says Jan.

0:07:460:07:47

Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people went for

0:07:470:07:50

Mark O'Dowd.

0:07:500:07:51

-Oh, no!

-Oh!

0:07:540:07:56

What about that?

0:07:560:07:57

Everyone of us, including me, the tone in my voice said,

0:07:570:08:00

"Oh, that's very clever." I, I...

0:08:000:08:03

Yes, anyway. Mark O'Dowd not there.

0:08:030:08:06

100 points is what you score there.

0:08:060:08:08

Sorry, it's going to be a short visit, then, isn't it?

0:08:080:08:10

I'm so sorry, yeah, no Mark O'Dowd up there.

0:08:100:08:13

I'll give all the correct answers at the end of the round.

0:08:130:08:15

Yes. Alistair.

0:08:150:08:17

-Hello.

-Welcome.

-Thank you.

0:08:170:08:19

Now, Alistair, you... After your world of impressions...

0:08:190:08:21

Obviously, you started out on Spitting Image.

0:08:210:08:24

Yes.

0:08:240:08:25

Who were you on Spitting Image? Which were yours?

0:08:250:08:28

-AS JOHN MAJOR:

-Well, I, at one time, was doing the John Major voice,

0:08:280:08:30

with the famous peas sketch and that was very, very enjoyable.

0:08:300:08:33

Very enjoyable. And all sorts of people.

0:08:330:08:35

-AS DAVID COLEMAN:

-The great, late David Coleman. Absolutely remarkable.

0:08:350:08:38

He was one of my people, and I also shared the impression

0:08:380:08:40

-AS CHRIS EUBANK:

-of Chris Eubank with John Thomson. We used the alternate doing our Chris Eubanks,

0:08:400:08:44

and that was one of the most enjoyable ones I've ever done, I think.

0:08:440:08:48

Very good indeed. Now, who are all these people?

0:08:480:08:49

Their surnames begin with O'.

0:08:490:08:52

-IRISH ACCENT:

-Well, I was going to go for the one Jan just went for,

0:08:520:08:55

but I won't.

0:08:550:08:57

-NORMAL VOICE:

-So I'm actually going to gamble, I think...

0:08:570:09:00

-Don't gamble.

-..on Maureen O'Hara.

0:09:000:09:02

RONNI AND AUDIENCE GASP Oh, listen to that!

0:09:020:09:04

Maureen O'Hara. Let's see if it's right.

0:09:040:09:06

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Maureen O'Hara.

0:09:060:09:09

-It's right.

-Well done.

-Now,

0:09:110:09:13

100 was our high score, and you passed that some time ago.

0:09:130:09:15

14 currently our low score, and you've passed that as well.

0:09:150:09:18

Down to 10. Very well done indeed.

0:09:180:09:19

Maureen O'Hara. APPLAUSE

0:09:190:09:21

Oh, suddenly got very exciting.

0:09:210:09:24

Yes, a very strong answer.

0:09:240:09:25

Yeah, there she is in the bottom row in the middle.

0:09:250:09:27

Starred in How Green Was My Valley and lots of John Wayne films

0:09:270:09:30

-as well.

-Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Well,

0:09:300:09:32

we're halfway through the round, so let's take a look at those scores.

0:09:320:09:35

10, Alistair, very well done. The best score of that pass.

0:09:350:09:37

Alistair and Ronni looking particularly strong,

0:09:370:09:40

as, I would say, are Rory and Matt, on 14 there.

0:09:400:09:43

Then we come up to 53,

0:09:430:09:44

which is where we find Francine and Danny, and then up to 100, Jan.

0:09:440:09:48

But Jon, there might be a scenario in which you survive at the end of this round.

0:09:480:09:52

-We'll see.

-But it will rely on a low score from you,

0:09:520:09:54

so good luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now.

0:09:540:09:56

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:09:560:09:59

Ronni, remember we are looking for the names of these people whose

0:10:020:10:04

surnames begin with O'.

0:10:040:10:06

Now, then, when you're acting, do you find, as an impressionist,

0:10:060:10:10

that sometimes maybe you channel other people as well?

0:10:100:10:13

Well, Alistair, my old mucker here, he tends to say, his first thing

0:10:130:10:17

he tends to say when I've done various voices, you have said this,

0:10:170:10:21

"There's always a little bit of Posh Spice coming through,"

0:10:210:10:24

which is obviously my default position.

0:10:240:10:27

I'm actually surprised that

0:10:270:10:28

-AS POSH SPICE:

-Posh hasn't been asked to do this, actually,

0:10:280:10:31

because I know a lot about fashion.

0:10:310:10:33

-AS DAVID BECKHAM:

-Yeah, and David obviously if the category

0:10:330:10:35

was football, they'd be fine, wouldn't they?

0:10:350:10:37

-As long as it was football...

-Or clothes.

0:10:370:10:39

-Fashion.

-Yeah, or fashion.

0:10:390:10:40

They'd definitely do well on this programme.

0:10:400:10:42

-Yeah, very well.

-They wouldn't get many laughs, but...

0:10:420:10:45

-NORMAL VOICE:

-It just shows how people date!

0:10:450:10:47

-NORMAL VOICE:

-No, listen, I have to say,

0:10:470:10:48

the thing is that, we all know each other very well,

0:10:480:10:51

we're very close and the thing about impressionists is that

0:10:510:10:54

they do play tricks on each other sometimes.

0:10:540:10:56

I was doing a job with Louis Walsh, and Rory,

0:10:560:10:59

who I used to tour with a million years ago,

0:10:590:11:02

used to keep on going about "Oh, I do a really good Louis Walsh,

0:11:020:11:05

"really good. I don't want to boast, but you should hear my Louis Walsh."

0:11:050:11:08

-AS WALSH:

-That's absolutely not true, that's so not true!

0:11:080:11:11

It's a great voice, but it wasn't true.

0:11:110:11:13

I was working with Louis and I said "Will you do me a favour, Louis?"

0:11:130:11:17

"Will you go on the phone to a friend of mine?"

0:11:170:11:20

Rang up Rory and said,

0:11:200:11:21

"Rory, I know you said your Louis Walsh is really good

0:11:210:11:24

"but there's this young impressionist here and oh, my God,

0:11:240:11:28

"his Louis Walsh is just spectacular."

0:11:280:11:32

I passed the phone on to Louis Walsh,

0:11:320:11:34

Louis does Louis down the phone, and then Rory, on the phone back to me,

0:11:340:11:39

goes, "Oh, I don't think it was that good!

0:11:390:11:42

"A lot of the vowel sounds were out." I kid you not!

0:11:420:11:46

-Now, Ronni, back to our Os over here.

-Oh, sorry. Sorry.

0:11:460:11:49

89 points or less, and you're into the next round.

0:11:490:11:53

OK. I'm going to go the top left-hand corner.

0:11:530:11:57

I think that's the lead singer of The Cranberries,

0:11:570:12:01

and I think that's Dolores O'Roar...

0:12:010:12:06

Dolores O'...

0:12:060:12:07

You sure you don't want to go for somebody more...?

0:12:070:12:10

-Somebody you know the name of might be a better idea!

-O'Riordan.

0:12:100:12:12

-O'Riordan.

-That's not conferring.

-O'Riordan.

-O'Riordan?

0:12:120:12:15

-Yeah, Dolores O'Riordan.

-Dolores O'Riordan.

0:12:150:12:17

We just have to see if it's right. Dolores O'Riordan.

0:12:170:12:19

Here is your red line. If you can get below that red line with

0:12:190:12:22

Dolores O'Riordan, you are home and dry.

0:12:220:12:23

Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Dolores O'Riordan.

0:12:230:12:27

It's right. Very well done, indeed. Ronni, through you go.

0:12:290:12:32

And it's a great answer as well.

0:12:340:12:35

Look at that. It's our lowest score of the round.

0:12:350:12:38

One for Dolores O'Riordan. APPLAUSE

0:12:380:12:40

That scores you one. Takes your total up to 11.

0:12:400:12:43

Very well done indeed.

0:12:430:12:45

That's a terrific answer, Ronni. very well played.

0:12:450:12:47

Yeah, The Cranberries sold 40 million albums worldwide.

0:12:470:12:51

Jon. Actually, talking of ringing up,

0:12:510:12:53

actually, the havoc you can cause by ringing people up.

0:12:530:12:57

And obviously your William Hague, you know,

0:12:570:12:59

you rang up Tony Blair as William Hague,

0:12:590:13:01

-and got put all the way through.

-Yes, it was...

0:13:010:13:04

I'd only done the William Hague impression for a couple of weeks,

0:13:040:13:08

-AS HAGUE:

-but he had such a distinctive sound and the stretching

0:13:080:13:12

out of the words, and a very generous person on the switchboard

0:13:120:13:16

who put me then through to Tony Blair who was,

0:13:160:13:18

-AS BLAIR:

-you know, in a quite, you know, good mood.

0:13:180:13:20

He was still chirpy in those days, you know,

0:13:200:13:23

-AS BLAIR/DALEK:

-before he'd sort of turned into a Dalek in later time.

0:13:230:13:26

-NORMAL VOICE:

-So yes, it was a very unexpected little moment.

0:13:260:13:30

I think I ought to tell you, Jon,

0:13:300:13:32

now, 20 years on, that it wasn't Tony Blair, either.

0:13:320:13:35

LAUGHTER

0:13:350:13:36

Matt, how could you?!

0:13:380:13:39

-Jon, there you are. You're our high-scorers on 100.

-OK.

0:13:400:13:42

We need a low score from you.

0:13:420:13:46

Well, I'll try the one that

0:13:460:13:47

we did in our first round and I'll go for Chris O'Dowd.

0:13:470:13:51

Chris O'Dowd.

0:13:510:13:52

Chris O'Dowd. OK, no red line for you as you're the high-scorers.

0:13:520:13:55

Let's see how far down the column you can get with Chris O'Dowd.

0:13:550:13:59

It's right.

0:14:000:14:02

See, there we are. Look at that. 11.

0:14:070:14:08

Very well done indeed. APPLAUSE

0:14:080:14:12

You might have kept yourself in the game there, Jon.

0:14:120:14:14

-111 is your total.

-Yeah, Chris O'Dowd.

0:14:140:14:16

I'm sorry, Jan. There he is in the top right.

0:14:160:14:19

Still probably best known as Roy from The IT Crowd.

0:14:190:14:21

There we are. OK, and Matt, welcome to Pointless.

0:14:210:14:23

-Hello.

-Great to have you here. Now, you're quite politically involved

0:14:230:14:26

as well as being a political commentator. Do you find that, does that colour your impressions at all?

0:14:260:14:32

Not so much. The problem is that I meet a lot of the politicians that I

0:14:320:14:35

then end up impersonating.

0:14:350:14:37

I remember I met George Galloway.

0:14:370:14:39

We both used to do shows on TalkSport radio, and he'd be on

0:14:390:14:42

before me and I'd be on after.

0:14:420:14:44

Galloway knew that I was a Blairite

0:14:440:14:45

and the first handover he did with me, he goes,

0:14:450:14:47

-AS GALLOWAY:

-"Well, coming up after midnight on TalkSport is a man

0:14:470:14:50

"who supported the illegal invasion of Iraq.

0:14:500:14:53

"Matt, what's coming up after midnight?"

0:14:530:14:55

"John Terry and the England captaincy, George,

0:14:550:14:58

"and old coat hangers. What do you do with yours? Give us a call."

0:14:580:15:02

Thank you very much for that. Matt, listen. You're on 14.

0:15:020:15:06

If you can score 96 or less, which one would hope would be relatively easy...

0:15:060:15:09

The one in the middle, I think I know.

0:15:090:15:12

Shall I just go with the one that's definitely right?

0:15:120:15:14

OK. I'm going to play it safe and I'm going to go

0:15:140:15:18

-with Brian O'Driscoll.

-Brian O'Driscoll, says Matt.

0:15:180:15:20

Let's see if Brian O'Driscoll's right.

0:15:200:15:22

Here's your red line. Look how... Couldn't be higher, look at that.

0:15:220:15:26

There you are. Look, well done, you're through.

0:15:260:15:28

It's fine. It's fine, and it's a really good answer.

0:15:280:15:32

It's a really good answer.

0:15:320:15:33

Look at that, 18. APPLAUSE

0:15:330:15:35

Taking your total up to 32.

0:15:350:15:38

Yeah, one of the true rugby greats, Brian O'Driscoll, for Ireland.

0:15:380:15:41

Wonderful. Now, Danny. Welcome to Pointless.

0:15:410:15:45

-Thank you so much.

-Great to have you here.

0:15:450:15:47

-Congratulations. Britain's Got Talent.

-Yeah.

0:15:470:15:49

A, that's a really tough crowd, isn't it, to come out in front of?

0:15:490:15:52

Yeah, absolutely, I mean when you got impressionists like Francine

0:15:520:15:55

you've got to follow, you know, two years on it's difficult, you know.

0:15:550:15:58

This is amazing. Thanks for having me on.

0:15:580:16:00

I'm on with all me heroes here. This is incredible, you know, so...

0:16:000:16:03

But the other thing about Britain's Got Talent,

0:16:030:16:05

presumably is, you know,

0:16:050:16:06

if you know you're good enough or if you reckon you're good enough to get

0:16:060:16:09

through, you can't come out and do all your big stuff

0:16:090:16:11

but it's got to be good enough in Round One to get in.

0:16:110:16:13

-AS MICHAEL MCINTYRE:

-Well, obviously, when I started my first

0:16:130:16:15

audition, I done Michael McIntyre. Yes!

0:16:150:16:18

He's my favourite, he likes to mumble quite a lot,

0:16:180:16:20

the moving of the head. Moving the head with Michael.

0:16:200:16:22

And people sort of look at me and think, "It's Michael McIntyre's face

0:16:220:16:25

"with Harry Hill's head. It's a nightmare."

0:16:250:16:29

-AS JOHN BISHOP:

-You know, and I also done John Bishop.

0:16:290:16:31

John's one of me favourites, I'll be honest with you, because John,

0:16:310:16:34

little old me, look at me, I'm selling out arenas, me, John Bishop,

0:16:340:16:38

little old me! Honestly, I got stopped in Morrison's last week,

0:16:380:16:41

-he said, "Put that back."

-LAUGHTER

0:16:410:16:43

-So, Danny.

-Yeah.

-There you are, on 53. You have to score 57 or less.

0:16:450:16:50

-This is pressure.

-It is pressure. It is pressure.

0:16:500:16:53

-AS

-DARA O'BRIAIN: Let's just see, I have actually done

0:16:530:16:55

an impression of the person who actually I'm thinking of.

0:16:550:16:58

I'm actually going to say Dara O' Briain.

0:16:580:16:59

Dara O' Briain, says Danny, and here is your red line.

0:16:590:17:02

You've got to get below that with Dara O' Briain.

0:17:020:17:05

It's right.

0:17:070:17:09

-You've done it.

-Yes!

-Very well done indeed.

0:17:100:17:12

Down it goes. 29. APPLAUSE

0:17:120:17:15

Superb.

0:17:150:17:17

82 is your total.

0:17:170:17:19

Very well played, Danny. Terrific answer.

0:17:190:17:22

Let's go through the rest of this board.

0:17:220:17:24

Now, Matt, you had a little thought

0:17:240:17:25

about the guy in the middle.

0:17:250:17:26

-Yes.

-Who do you think that was?

-I thought it was Patrice O'Neal.

0:17:260:17:29

-It's Shaquille O'Neal.

-Oh!

0:17:290:17:31

-Just as well.

-It's Shaquille O'Neal.

0:17:310:17:32

Would have scored three points, though, if you had got his name

0:17:320:17:36

right, it would have been a great answer. So, in a way, well done.

0:17:360:17:39

-Now, let's look at the...

-And Richard, on the golfer,

0:17:390:17:41

if we'd said Christy O'Connor, would you have said,

0:17:410:17:43

"No, it's got to be Christy O'Connor Jr?"

0:17:430:17:46

If you'd said Christy O'Connor, I would have said

0:17:460:17:48

-"No, it's got to be Mark O'Meara."

-LAUGHTER

0:17:480:17:51

There you go! You see?

0:17:510:17:53

Oh, well, of course, I couldn't see cos of the hat!

0:17:550:17:57

-And the arm.

-That is Mark O'Meara, would have scored you five points.

0:17:570:18:01

The only pointless answer on the board is next to Mark O'Meara there.

0:18:010:18:05

Eugene O'Neill. Very well done if you said that at home.

0:18:050:18:08

Next to him, Daniel O'Donnell, of course,

0:18:080:18:10

Daniel O'Donnell would have scored 33.

0:18:100:18:12

Second row, Paul O'Grady, 55.

0:18:120:18:14

Ronnie O'Sullivan, 48.

0:18:140:18:16

And on the bottom row there, Tina O'Brien from Corrie,

0:18:160:18:18

10 points, and Dermot O'Leary with 44.

0:18:180:18:21

So, the best answer on the board Eugene O'Neill.

0:18:210:18:24

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:18:240:18:26

So, we are at the end of our first round, and I'm sorry to say,

0:18:260:18:29

-Jon and Jan, you are our high-scorers with 111.

-Aww!

0:18:290:18:32

-I'm so sorry.

-I'm so sorry.

-It's been lovely having you on.

0:18:320:18:34

Thank you so much for playing. Jon and Jan, fabulous.

0:18:340:18:36

APPLAUSE

0:18:360:18:38

But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:18:390:18:42

And so, just like that, we are down to three pairs.

0:18:460:18:49

At the end of this round, we will have to say goodbye to another pair

0:18:490:18:51

in time for our head-to-head round.

0:18:510:18:53

Ronni, hats off to you.

0:18:530:18:55

Dolores O'Riordan, fabulous answer there.

0:18:550:18:57

-Very well done.

-I just... Well...

0:18:570:18:59

-Oh, we had a good one from you, Rory, as well.

-Yeah.

0:18:590:19:01

And we had Richard O'Brien, which is our second lowest score as well,

0:19:010:19:04

-so very well done.

-Rocky Horror.

0:19:040:19:05

And very well done, Francine and Danny as well.

0:19:050:19:07

Great to have you all here for Round Two.

0:19:070:19:09

Best of luck to all three pairs.

0:19:090:19:10

Our category for Round Two this evening...

0:19:100:19:13

..is musicians.

0:19:130:19:15

It's musicians. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:19:150:19:18

who's going to go second?

0:19:180:19:19

And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:19:190:19:22

OK, and the question is all about...

0:19:250:19:30

-musicians in haiku.

-What? What?

0:19:300:19:33

I don't even know where that is.

0:19:330:19:35

-I hope this is multiple choice!

-Musicians in haiku.

0:19:350:19:37

It's not as bad as it sounds.

0:19:370:19:38

We are going to give you six clues on each board.

0:19:380:19:41

The answer to each clue is a famous musician.

0:19:410:19:43

But the clues are in the form of a haiku - that's a Japanese poem -

0:19:430:19:47

five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables.

0:19:470:19:49

But it's simply clues to famous musicians.

0:19:490:19:51

Six on the first board, six on the second,

0:19:510:19:53

12 in all to have a go at it at home.

0:19:530:19:55

-Best of luck.

-There we are.

0:19:550:19:56

So, not that bad, as it turns out.

0:19:560:19:58

Here's our first board of haikus. And we have...

0:19:580:20:01

I shall read those all one last time.

0:20:300:20:32

Francine.

0:20:540:20:56

Oh. OK, so the top one, which is going to be Madness.

0:20:560:21:00

OK. Francine is saying Madness.

0:21:000:21:02

Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Madness.

0:21:020:21:05

It's right.

0:21:080:21:10

-Oh!

-73.

0:21:100:21:12

Not bad. APPLAUSE

0:21:120:21:13

Not bad. 73.

0:21:130:21:15

A whole lot better than 100.

0:21:150:21:16

Yeah. Do you know, House Of Fun was their only ever UK number one,

0:21:160:21:19

-Madness?

-Isn't that extraordinary?

-Isn't that mental when you think

0:21:190:21:22

-of the amount of hits they had?

-Yeah.

0:21:220:21:24

There we are. Thank you very much.

0:21:240:21:26

-Matt.

-Yeah.

0:21:260:21:28

-Aha.

-Ha-ha!

0:21:280:21:30

I'm thinking tactically here.

0:21:300:21:33

I'm going to go for the bottom one, which is Daft Punk.

0:21:330:21:37

Daft Punk, says Matt.

0:21:370:21:38

-Very good.

-Let's see if that's right.

0:21:380:21:40

Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Daft Punk.

0:21:400:21:43

It's right.

0:21:450:21:46

Oh, it's a good answer, as well. Look at that. Down it goes to 15!

0:21:490:21:52

-Oh!

-Very well done indeed, Matt.

0:21:520:21:53

APPLAUSE Superb.

0:21:530:21:55

-15. Good job.

-Yeah, always wear those helmets.

0:21:550:21:58

Beneath the helmets they are Thomas Bangalter

0:21:580:22:00

and Shaquille O'Neal.

0:22:000:22:02

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:22:030:22:06

Now, then, Alistair. This board is all yours.

0:22:060:22:08

If you wanted to go through all those haikus.

0:22:080:22:11

I only know two of those.

0:22:110:22:13

I just hope that not that many people remember

0:22:130:22:18

Eminem.

0:22:180:22:19

-Eminem.

-Who was the rapper from Detroit.

0:22:190:22:21

Slim Shady, says Alistair. Let's see if that's right.

0:22:210:22:24

Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Eminem.

0:22:240:22:26

It's right.

0:22:280:22:30

You pass 73.

0:22:300:22:31

56. There we are. 56 for Eminem. APPLAUSE

0:22:310:22:35

He won the silver medal in the 1997 Rap Olympics, Eminem,

0:22:370:22:42

back when he was Marshall Mathers.

0:22:420:22:43

Wow. Who took gold?

0:22:430:22:45

-Maria Sharapova.

-LAUGHTER

0:22:450:22:48

Now, let's fill in the rest of this board, shall we?

0:22:500:22:52

-Destiny's Child star...

-Beyonce.

-Beyonce.

0:22:520:22:55

Look at that score, though, 70.

0:22:550:22:57

-Big score. Disco supergroup...

-Earth, Wind And Fire.

0:22:570:23:01

-Oh, wow.

-17 for that, would have been a great answer.

0:23:010:23:03

Now, you know this is the Spice Girls.

0:23:030:23:05

What do you think this would score?

0:23:050:23:06

I would have thought probably in the 80s. 87.

0:23:060:23:09

96.

0:23:090:23:10

-No!

-96 points.

0:23:100:23:13

-Look at that.

-How about that? The best answer on the board was Daft Punk, Matt Forde, well done.

0:23:130:23:17

There we go. Thank you very much indeed. Well, we're halfway through

0:23:170:23:20

the round. Let's take a look at those scores to see where we are.

0:23:200:23:22

-Now, 15, Matt. Very well done indeed.

-Thank you.

-Then up to 56.

0:23:220:23:25

Quite a big hike up there where we find Alistair and Ronni.

0:23:250:23:27

And then across to 73, where we find Francine and Danny.

0:23:270:23:30

Now, you're not far ahead, but you are ahead.

0:23:300:23:32

So, Danny, let's find a nice low-scoring answer on this next board.

0:23:320:23:35

-It's all up to you.

-Very best of luck with that.

0:23:350:23:37

That, I hope, will keep you in the game. We're going to come back down the line now.

0:23:370:23:40

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:23:400:23:43

OK, let's put six more haikus up on the board, and here they come.

0:23:450:23:50

We have got...

0:23:500:23:51

I'll read those all one last time.

0:24:160:24:18

-Ronni.

-OK.

0:24:410:24:43

This is... This is quite a well-known answer,

0:24:430:24:46

but I'm going to go for Page and Plant's rock group.

0:24:460:24:50

-And that's Led Zeppelin.

-Led Zeppelin, says Ronni.

0:24:500:24:53

Led Zeppelin. Here is your red line.

0:24:530:24:54

If you get below that red line, you are definitely in the head-to-head.

0:24:540:24:57

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Led Zeppelin.

0:24:570:25:01

It's right.

0:25:020:25:03

Not bad. 34.

0:25:070:25:09

APPLAUSE 34.

0:25:090:25:12

This is going to be very, very interesting.

0:25:120:25:13

You might have kept yourselves in the game there.

0:25:130:25:15

-90 is your total.

-Not a bad answer at all.

0:25:150:25:17

Led Zeppelin II spent over 100 weeks in the charts in the top 40,

0:25:170:25:21

and it knocked Abbey Road off number one.

0:25:210:25:24

Thank you very much, Richard.

0:25:240:25:26

Now, then, Rory.

0:25:260:25:27

-Hello.

-Rory. 74 or less.

-Righto. OK.

0:25:270:25:30

I'm going to go with the '80s synth pop band, which Russell Harty

0:25:300:25:35

memorably described as "Dorren Dorren".

0:25:350:25:37

-It's Duran Duran.

-OK, Duran Duran.

0:25:370:25:39

Here is your red line. Nice and high.

0:25:390:25:40

If you can get below that with Duran Duran,

0:25:400:25:42

you are through to the head-to-head.

0:25:420:25:44

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Duran Duran.

0:25:440:25:47

It's right. And you're through.

0:25:500:25:51

Oh, just! Look at that! APPLAUSE

0:25:510:25:53

-Not by much!

-That's a tight fit.

0:25:530:25:55

Back to the '80s. 68, taking your total up to 83.

0:25:550:25:59

Yeah, Andy Taylor famously got injured filming

0:25:590:26:01

the Save A Prayer video. He fell out of a tree.

0:26:010:26:03

That's not what injured him.

0:26:030:26:05

He fell into a lake which is also not what injured him.

0:26:050:26:07

He then caught a bug from the lake,

0:26:070:26:08

-because it was an elephant toilet.

-MURMURS OF DISGUST

0:26:080:26:11

-That's nice, isn't it?

-It is nice.

0:26:110:26:13

Now, Danny. You have to score 16 or less.

0:26:130:26:17

-Yeah.

-But you have all of this board to choose from.

0:26:170:26:19

Do you want to walk us through it?

0:26:190:26:21

There's sort of two that are left that I would know.

0:26:210:26:24

I'm going to go with...

0:26:240:26:27

-..Madonna.

-For which one?

0:26:270:26:29

The... Sort of...

0:26:290:26:30

-Holiday.

-Holiday, there we go.

0:26:300:26:32

Fourth one down. Madonna, says Danny.

0:26:320:26:34

-That's going to be high.

-Well, there is your red line.

0:26:340:26:36

You have to get below that red line with Madonna.

0:26:360:26:38

Let's see if that is the queen of pop.

0:26:380:26:40

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Madonna.

0:26:400:26:43

It's right.

0:26:460:26:47

Ooh! Look at that, 82! APPLAUSE

0:26:470:26:50

I knew it would be a high answer.

0:26:500:26:51

It was just... It was either that one or the one at the bottom.

0:26:510:26:54

And it was just very obvious. I didn't know the rest, so...

0:26:540:26:57

Danny, that's a punishingly high score there.

0:26:570:26:59

It scores you 82, takes your total up to 155.

0:26:590:27:02

So, let's fill in the rest of these, and start at the bottom there.

0:27:020:27:05

The X Factor one. One Direction.

0:27:050:27:07

That would have scored you 72 points.

0:27:070:27:09

-The Davies brothers were...

-The Kinks.

-The Kinks.

0:27:090:27:11

That was 45. The best answer on the board was born Dylan Mills.

0:27:120:27:15

-Dizzee Rascal.

-Dizzee Rascal, Matt.

0:27:150:27:17

Absolutely. It would have scored you six points.

0:27:170:27:19

-Who knew?

-Matt knew.

0:27:190:27:21

There we are. Thanks very much, Richard.

0:27:210:27:23

So, at the end of the second round, the pair we have to say goodbye to,

0:27:230:27:25

with their high score of 155,

0:27:250:27:27

I'm so sorry, Danny and Francine, 'tis you.

0:27:270:27:29

It's been lovely having you on. Thank you so much for playing.

0:27:290:27:32

-Thank you.

-Danny and Francine. APPLAUSE

0:27:320:27:36

But for Alistair and Ronni, Rory and Matt,

0:27:360:27:38

it's time for our head-to-head. APPLAUSE

0:27:380:27:40

Congratulations, Alistair and Ronni, Rory and Matt.

0:27:430:27:45

You're now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for that

0:27:450:27:49

jackpot, which currently stands at £2,500.

0:27:490:27:53

APPLAUSE

0:27:530:27:55

So, this is the point where we have to decide who plays

0:27:560:27:59

for that jackpot, and we do it by making you go head-to-head.

0:27:590:28:02

But the difference is you can play as teams from here on in.

0:28:020:28:04

You can chat before you give your answers.

0:28:040:28:06

The first pair to win two questions

0:28:060:28:08

will be playing for that jackpot.

0:28:080:28:09

Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.

0:28:090:28:12

Here's your first question, and it concerns...

0:28:170:28:20

-What?

-Female actors in male roles, Richard.

0:28:230:28:25

I'm going to show you five pictures now of female actors being or

0:28:250:28:28

pretending to be men.

0:28:280:28:29

We just need you to tell us the name of the actors, please.

0:28:290:28:31

-Very best of luck.

-OK, let's reveal our five female actors.

0:28:310:28:34

Here they come. We have got...

0:28:340:28:37

There we are. Five female actors in male roles.

0:28:580:29:01

Alistair and Ronni. You've been our low scorers up to this point,

0:29:010:29:04

-so you will go first.

-Oh, really? Oh!

0:29:040:29:08

-OK.

-We're going to go with D.

0:29:080:29:10

Yeah.

0:29:100:29:11

-Cate Blanchett.

-Cate Blanchett...

0:29:110:29:14

As Bob Dylan.

0:29:140:29:15

..say Alistair and Ronni. Cate Blanchett. Now, Rory and Matt.

0:29:150:29:18

That board's all yours. Do you want to talk us through it

0:29:180:29:20

-and have a shot at each one?

-A is Gwyneth Paltrow, we think.

0:29:200:29:23

B is Barbra Streisand.

0:29:230:29:25

C is Kathy Burke, definitely Kathy Burke.

0:29:250:29:27

And D and E, we don't know.

0:29:270:29:29

We'll go with Kathy Burke, I think.

0:29:290:29:32

OK. We're going to say C, Kathy Burke.

0:29:320:29:34

C, Kathy Burke. So, we have D, Cate Blanchett and C, Kathy Burke.

0:29:340:29:39

Alistair and Ronni have said that Cate Blanchett is D.

0:29:390:29:43

Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people went for

0:29:430:29:46

Cate Blanchett.

0:29:460:29:47

It's right, it is Cate Blanchett.

0:29:480:29:50

Oh, it's good. Down it goes. Look at that. Down it goes.

0:29:540:29:56

Two, that's a brilliant answer. APPLAUSE

0:29:560:29:58

Very well done indeed, Alistair and Ronni.

0:29:580:30:01

Cate Blanchett,

0:30:010:30:03

absolutely right there. Now, Rory and Matt, went for C, Kathy Burke.

0:30:030:30:07

Let's see if it's right, let's see if that has paid off.

0:30:070:30:10

OK, so it's correct.

0:30:130:30:14

Lower, lower, lower. Come on, get lower.

0:30:160:30:18

-There we are. 30.

-It's not bad.

-APPLAUSE

0:30:180:30:22

Not bad at all, but it means very well done, Alistair and Ronni,

0:30:220:30:24

after one question, you are up 1-0.

0:30:240:30:27

Now, A is Gwyneth Paltrow,

0:30:270:30:28

would have been a slightly better score than Kathy Burke,

0:30:280:30:31

but wouldn't have won you the point. 21 points for that.

0:30:310:30:34

B, of course, is Barbra Streisand.

0:30:340:30:36

That's a bigger scorer, 56.

0:30:370:30:39

Now, E, it's a pointless answer.

0:30:390:30:41

If you look very closely, it's a very young Shaquille O'Neal.

0:30:420:30:45

It's actually the first person ever to play Peter Pan on film.

0:30:480:30:51

It's Betty Bronson.

0:30:510:30:52

Very well done if you said that. You got yourself a pointless answer.

0:30:520:30:55

Thanks very much indeed. So, here comes your second question.

0:30:550:30:58

Rory and Matt, you get to answer it first but you have to win this one

0:30:580:31:00

to stay in the game, so best of luck with that.

0:31:000:31:03

Our second question this evening is all about...

0:31:030:31:06

The nation's favourite paintings.

0:31:070:31:10

Simply going to give you five paintings now from a poll of

0:31:100:31:13

the nation's favourite paintings, but we've missed out

0:31:130:31:16

alternate letters from the names of the paintings.

0:31:160:31:18

Can you tell us what they are, please?

0:31:180:31:19

OK, thanks very much. Let's reveal our five paintings.

0:31:190:31:22

And here they are, with missing bits.

0:31:220:31:24

We've got...

0:31:240:31:25

I'll read those again.

0:31:420:31:43

Now, Rory and Matt will go first.

0:31:540:31:57

OK.

0:31:570:31:58

OK, this could be wrong, but we'll go for it anyway, OK?

0:31:580:32:02

We are going to go for the top one, Rembrandt, it's The Night Watch.

0:32:030:32:06

The Night Watch, say Rory and Matt.

0:32:060:32:08

The Night Watch. Now then, Alistair and Ronni.

0:32:080:32:11

Do you want to talk us through the others?

0:32:110:32:13

Yes, well, the Hay Wain is the Constable,

0:32:130:32:16

Water Lilies is the Monet.

0:32:160:32:18

Sunflowers is the Van Gogh.

0:32:180:32:21

But we think we're going to go for Hockney.

0:32:210:32:23

Which is A Bigger Splash.

0:32:230:32:27

-A Bigger Splash. MATT:

-Of course!

0:32:270:32:28

So we have The Night Watch, and we have A Bigger Splash.

0:32:280:32:30

Can we...?

0:32:300:32:32

I think that one might be right, so...

0:32:320:32:34

-Yeah, it is.

-Rory and Matt have gone for The Night Watch.

0:32:340:32:37

Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said

0:32:370:32:39

-The Night Watch.

-That's a very good answer.

0:32:390:32:41

-Hockney wins it, I'm sure.

-No, I think...

0:32:410:32:44

-I think you're fine.

-Here we go.

0:32:440:32:45

It's right, The Night Watch.

0:32:450:32:47

Oh, that's brilliant.

0:32:470:32:49

Down it goes. Not bad at all. Still going down. Look at that.

0:32:490:32:51

Down it goes to 18, not bad at all. APPLAUSE

0:32:510:32:53

18 for the Night Watch.

0:32:530:32:54

-AS BRUCE FORSYTH:

-What do you think? Lower? Higher? Higher or lower?

0:32:570:33:01

Alistair and Ronni have gone for A Bigger Splash.

0:33:020:33:04

I think it's lower.

0:33:040:33:05

Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our

0:33:050:33:07

100 people said A Bigger Splash.

0:33:070:33:09

It is right.

0:33:120:33:13

And it wins you the point.

0:33:190:33:20

Look at that. Down it goes to four, very well done indeed.

0:33:200:33:22

APPLAUSE After two questions,

0:33:220:33:24

Alistair and Ronni, that is decisive.

0:33:240:33:26

-You are straight through to the final, 2-0.

-Very, very impressive.

0:33:260:33:29

Well played. Great performance.

0:33:290:33:31

And the best two answers on the board as well, so well played,

0:33:310:33:33

both teams there. The Hay Wain, John Constable would have scored you 47.

0:33:330:33:39

Water Lilies would have scored you 67.

0:33:400:33:42

And Sunflowers would have scored you 55.

0:33:420:33:46

So, well done at home if you said A Bigger Splash.

0:33:460:33:48

Thank you very much, Richard.

0:33:480:33:50

So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid,

0:33:500:33:52

-Rory and Matt.

-I'm sorry.

0:33:520:33:55

-I'm sorry.

-It's going to take them years to get over it.

0:33:550:33:58

He won't talk to me now for at least a fortnight.

0:33:580:34:01

-Not as myself.

-That is such good news.

0:34:010:34:05

-LAUGHTER

-There's an upside.

0:34:050:34:06

The consolation is that it's been lovely having you on.

0:34:060:34:09

Thank you so much for playing. Rory and Matt, fantastic.

0:34:090:34:11

APPLAUSE

0:34:110:34:13

But for Ronni and Alistair, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:34:140:34:17

APPLAUSE

0:34:170:34:19

Congratulations, Alistair and Ronni.

0:34:210:34:23

You have fought off all the competition and you have won

0:34:230:34:26

our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:34:260:34:28

I'm so excited about that.

0:34:330:34:36

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

0:34:360:34:38

At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,500.

0:34:380:34:43

APPLAUSE

0:34:430:34:45

Well, what a performance.

0:34:470:34:50

The whole way through. 2-0 in the head-to-head, but both your scores,

0:34:500:34:53

single figure scores, absolutely fantastic.

0:34:530:34:56

You know what happens in this last round,

0:34:560:34:58

we put four sort of semi-impossible things up on the board and you pick

0:34:580:35:00

the one that scares you the least,

0:35:000:35:02

and hope there's something behind it that you can flounder around in.

0:35:020:35:05

Thanks, Xander. I feel strangely comforted now(!)

0:35:050:35:08

It's how it works. Today's choices look like this.

0:35:080:35:11

You have got...

0:35:120:35:13

So it's between Seans and sport, I think.

0:35:200:35:23

What do you think?

0:35:230:35:24

I can't believe I'm going to say this,

0:35:240:35:26

because I would be better at Acting Seans,

0:35:260:35:29

but I think, under pressure,...

0:35:290:35:31

And you've got everything right so far, this is my moment.

0:35:310:35:34

-Yes, it's his...

-So Sport in 2003, it is.

0:35:340:35:37

-There we are.

-OK, very best of luck.

0:35:370:35:39

Three very different questions here.

0:35:390:35:41

One of these might suit you very nicely, I think.

0:35:410:35:43

We're looking for any of the 20 drivers who scored

0:35:430:35:46

at least one point in the 2003 Formula 1 championship.

0:35:460:35:49

-Oh, no!

-That's not a sport!

0:35:490:35:50

We are looking for anyone who played in the Cricket World Cup final...

0:35:500:35:54

When you said you were good at sport...

0:35:540:35:56

..between Australia and India, the 11 players on each of those teams.

0:35:560:35:59

Or we're looking for any of the England squad who played in the

0:35:590:36:02

Rugby World Cup final against Australia.

0:36:020:36:04

Any of the 19 people who actually went onto the pitch

0:36:040:36:07

for England against Australia in that final.

0:36:070:36:10

So Formula 1 drivers, anyone who scored at least a point,

0:36:100:36:13

anyone from the Australian and Indian teams in the

0:36:130:36:15

Cricket World Cup final, or any of the 19 players in the England squad

0:36:150:36:19

who actually played at some point during the World Cup final in 2003.

0:36:190:36:24

-Against Australia.

-OK, now, as always,

0:36:240:36:26

you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.

0:36:260:36:29

All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of your answers to be

0:36:290:36:31

-pointless. Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Good.

0:36:310:36:35

Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.

0:36:350:36:36

There they are. Your time starts now.

0:36:360:36:38

Right, Ronni, you watched the rugby World Cup final, I didn't.

0:36:380:36:41

So who was in that team? There was Jonny Wilkinson.

0:36:410:36:43

-Martin Johnson.

-Martin Johnson.

0:36:430:36:45

-Lewis Moody, I think.

-Lewis Moody.

0:36:450:36:47

-Jonny Wilkinson.

-Is he the one with the bad nose?

0:36:470:36:49

Attractive but with a bad nose.

0:36:490:36:51

I don't know. Matt somebody.

0:36:510:36:52

-Matt...

-Matt Dawson.

-Matt from Question Of Sport, Matt Dawson.

0:36:520:36:55

I think it's not going to be pointless.

0:36:550:36:57

Lewis Moody might be pointless.

0:36:570:36:59

-But we need somebody further down that list.

-Oh, no. Oh, no.

0:36:590:37:01

-I have no idea.

-You watched it.

0:37:010:37:02

-I didn't watch it.

-You did.

0:37:020:37:04

You watched it. You watched it all the way through.

0:37:040:37:06

We were making our show and we argued about it because I said

0:37:060:37:08

"I don't care." And you said, "I want to watch it, but my husband..."

0:37:080:37:11

Strangely enough, that was a long time ago and I can't remember

0:37:110:37:13

-much about rugby players now.

-So you've got Martin Johnson,

0:37:130:37:16

he's not going to be pointless.

0:37:160:37:17

Lewis Moody, I think.

0:37:170:37:19

-Lewis Moody.

-Who else has gone on to manage?

0:37:190:37:21

Because they have probably all become managers or pundits.

0:37:210:37:24

I don't know. I don't know.

0:37:240:37:26

Who was in goal? Who played in goal?

0:37:270:37:28

-Ten seconds left.

-Trick question.

0:37:280:37:31

I don't know. Sorry, I went for the sport.

0:37:320:37:35

Cricketers, I haven't got a clue. Formula 1 is not a sport!

0:37:350:37:38

OK, that is your time up. I now need your three answers.

0:37:380:37:42

So we've got to go for the Rugby World Cup.

0:37:420:37:44

We only know the main ones.

0:37:440:37:45

They're not going to be pointless.

0:37:450:37:47

We will go for Martin Johnson.

0:37:470:37:49

-Martin Johnson.

-Who everyone will know.

0:37:490:37:51

Matt Dawson, but...

0:37:510:37:52

-Matt Dawson.

-And I think there was somebody called Lewis Moody,

0:37:520:37:55

who I met at a party and was very nice.

0:37:550:37:56

He had a squashed nose.

0:37:560:37:57

And Lewis Moody, but you thought was handsome, which is nice.

0:37:570:38:00

-He's a very nice man.

-There we are.

0:38:000:38:02

Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless

0:38:020:38:04

-answer?

-Lewis Moody.

-Lewis Moody.

-Lewis Moody goes last.

0:38:040:38:07

If he exists. He might have been in Pink Floyd, I'm not sure.

0:38:070:38:10

I like the parties you go to, Alistair, I have to say.

0:38:100:38:12

I can't believe you wanted sport!

0:38:120:38:14

So, Lewis Moody goes last.

0:38:140:38:15

Least likely person to be pointless?

0:38:150:38:17

-Matt Dawson.

-OK.

0:38:170:38:19

Well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then.

0:38:190:38:21

And here they are. We have...

0:38:210:38:23

Well, very, very best of luck. Three good answers up there.

0:38:270:38:30

What are your charities?

0:38:300:38:32

If you were to win and that money were to go to your charity.

0:38:320:38:34

-Is this it? Is this the last thing?

-Yes.

-We don't have another...?

0:38:340:38:37

OK, Sight Savers, which is an amazing charity that goes to Africa

0:38:370:38:40

and does cataract operations and corneas...

0:38:400:38:44

Amazing. Saves the sight of hundreds of thousands of people.

0:38:460:38:49

-Wonderful. Alistair?

-Mine is Tusk Trust,

0:38:490:38:51

who do wonderful work to save these beautiful elephants

0:38:510:38:53

that we are threatening with extinction, from that awful fate.

0:38:530:38:56

Very good. APPLAUSE

0:38:560:38:58

Two excellent charities there.

0:38:580:39:00

Let's hope one of these answers will win that jackpot for your charities.

0:39:010:39:06

So your first answer was Matt Dawson.

0:39:060:39:07

In this case, and in fact in every case,

0:39:070:39:09

we are looking for England squad members who played in the 2003

0:39:090:39:15

Rugby World Cup final. Any English player.

0:39:150:39:17

Only one of your answers has to be pointless for you to win that

0:39:170:39:20

jackpot of £2,500 for your charities.

0:39:200:39:22

Let's see how many people said Matt Dawson.

0:39:220:39:24

Is it right? Is it pointless?

0:39:240:39:26

OK, well, Matt Dawson is absolutely right.

0:39:300:39:32

Taking us down through the 50s, through the 40s,

0:39:320:39:34

if it goes all the way down to zero,

0:39:340:39:36

your charities will benefit to the tune of £2,500.

0:39:360:39:39

Down it goes through the single figures.

0:39:390:39:40

5, that's great. APPLAUSE

0:39:400:39:43

-This is a fantastic answer.

-I didn't expect that.

0:39:450:39:49

Do people not watch A Question Of Sport?

0:39:490:39:51

Now, there we are. The last three answers you've given

0:39:510:39:53

have been single figure scores. Fantastic, congratulations.

0:39:530:39:55

Sadly, not a pointless answer, though.

0:39:550:39:57

And at this stage, we are only interested in pointless answers.

0:39:570:40:00

Let's hope nobody said your next answer, which was Martin Johnson.

0:40:000:40:03

Again, we're looking for England players

0:40:030:40:05

in the 2003 Rugby World Cup final. Let's see how many of how many

0:40:050:40:09

of our 100 people said Martin Johnson, for £2,500,

0:40:090:40:12

is it pointless?

0:40:120:40:13

-Again, it's right.

-It's right.

0:40:160:40:18

Matt Dawson took us all the way down to 5.

0:40:180:40:21

Martin Johnson now takes this down through the 30s.

0:40:210:40:24

Through the 20s, into the teens.

0:40:240:40:26

Down it goes. Oh, 15. 15 for Martin Johnson.

0:40:260:40:29

APPLAUSE

0:40:290:40:33

-OK.

-You have no idea.

-I don't know if he exists.

0:40:330:40:34

Now, everything is riding on your third and final answer,

0:40:340:40:38

which you had no hesitation putting last, Lewis Moody.

0:40:380:40:41

Your best shot at a pointless answer.

0:40:410:40:43

Let's find out in this case.

0:40:430:40:45

Lewis Moody. We are looking for England players from the

0:40:450:40:48

2003 Rugby World Cup final.

0:40:480:40:49

For £2,500, how many people said Lewis Moody? Does he exist?

0:40:490:40:55

-He does.

-He exists!

0:40:580:40:59

He very much exists.

0:40:590:41:01

And he's a correct answer.

0:41:010:41:02

Now, your first answer, Matt Dawson, took us down to 5.

0:41:020:41:04

Your second answer, Martin Johnson, down to 15.

0:41:040:41:06

-We have passed 15.

-Oh, no, no, no.

-We're in to single figures.

0:41:060:41:09

Past 5, down it goes, it still goes down.

0:41:090:41:10

Yes, you've done it! APPLAUSE

0:41:100:41:13

Superb. Brilliant. Very well done indeed.

0:41:210:41:25

I knew something about rugby!

0:41:250:41:27

Well, congratulations, Lewis Moody, of course he exists.

0:41:280:41:30

He's a pointless answer.

0:41:300:41:32

Which means you go home with that £2,500 for your charities.

0:41:320:41:35

Very well done indeed, Alistair and Ronni.

0:41:350:41:37

APPLAUSE

0:41:370:41:44

And that's also terrific validation for Lewis Moody, that he does exist.

0:41:440:41:47

That's very good news. Yes, 71 caps for England, Lewis Moody.

0:41:470:41:51

Flanker. And he once met you at a party, I believe.

0:41:510:41:53

-Yes.

-And it turns out to be a very fortuitous meeting.

0:41:530:41:56

Quite. I don't remember any of the others. They didn't meet me.

0:41:560:42:00

Let's take a look now at the answers in the different categories.

0:42:000:42:03

We'll start with Formula 1. Lots of people know their Formula 1.

0:42:030:42:06

There's some answers you'll get here.

0:42:060:42:08

Also could have had Cristiano di Mata, Heinz-Harald Frentzen,

0:42:120:42:15

Justin Wilson, the Brit, Marc Gene, Olivier Panis,

0:42:150:42:18

Ralph Firman and Takuma Sato. All of those pointless answers.

0:42:180:42:21

Very well done if you said any of those.

0:42:210:42:22

-Not a sport.

-It's not a sport, apparently.

0:42:220:42:26

Let's take a look at the cricketers now.

0:42:260:42:28

Everyone apart from Ricky Ponting, Glenn McGrath, Sachin Tendulkar,

0:42:320:42:35

Adam Gilchrist, Matthew Hayden and Brett Lee.

0:42:350:42:37

Everyone else was a pointless answer, in that final.

0:42:370:42:40

Let's take a look at rugby now.

0:42:400:42:42

Some big names here from English rugby.

0:42:450:42:48

Also could have hired Ian Balshaw, Steve Thompson and Trevor Woodman.

0:42:490:42:52

All of those were pointless answers.

0:42:520:42:53

Very well done if you got any of those at home,

0:42:530:42:55

and terrific stuff in the studio.

0:42:550:42:57

-Also, a lot of jeopardy, right?

-Absolutely.

0:42:570:42:59

You left it right to the end, which was perfect.

0:42:590:43:01

-That's how we like it.

-Thanks very much, Richard.

0:43:010:43:04

And thanks once again to our winning players, Alistair and Ronni,

0:43:040:43:06

who go away with today's jackpot of £2,500 for their charities.

0:43:060:43:10

Very well done. APPLAUSE

0:43:100:43:12

Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge

0:43:140:43:17

to the test on Pointless. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

0:43:170:43:19

-Goodbye.

-And it's goodbye from me.

0:43:190:43:21

Goodbye.
