0:00:150:00:18

Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,

0:00:230:00:25

and a very warm welcome to this special law and order edition of Pointless Celebrities -

0:00:250:00:29

the show where we are always striving to find the most

0:00:290:00:31

obscure answers.

0:00:310:00:33

Let's meet today's Pointless Celebrities.

0:00:330:00:36

APPLAUSE

0:00:360:00:37

-Couple number one.

-Hello, yes.

0:00:400:00:42

I'm Helen Fraser and, for about eight years,

0:00:420:00:46

I played the very scary prison warder in Bad Girls,

0:00:460:00:50

and this naughty one was one of my prisoners.

0:00:500:00:53

Hello. I'm Vicky Alcock.

0:00:530:00:55

As Helen said, I play one of the Julies in Bad Girls.

0:00:550:00:57

This is my first time here.

0:00:570:00:59

-We're a little bit nervous, aren't we, Helen?

-Yes.

0:00:590:01:02

APPLAUSE

0:01:020:01:04

Couple number two.

0:01:060:01:08

Hello, I'm Roberta Taylor, and I played Inspector Gina Gold in The Bill,

0:01:080:01:12

who was also a bit horrible.

0:01:120:01:15

And I'm Chris Ellison, and I played DI Burnside in The Bill,

0:01:150:01:19

and he was really nice.

0:01:190:01:21

Really horrible.

0:01:210:01:23

APPLAUSE

0:01:230:01:25

Couple number three.

0:01:260:01:28

Hello, I'm Arthur Bostrom.

0:01:280:01:29

I played Crabtree, a rather incompetent gendarme, in 'Allo 'Allo!,

0:01:290:01:34

who didn't "spook Fronch very will".

0:01:340:01:37

LAUGHTER

0:01:370:01:38

Hello, I'm Mina Anwar, and I played PC Maggie Habib

0:01:380:01:42

in The Thin Blue Line.

0:01:420:01:44

APPLAUSE

0:01:440:01:46

And, finally, couple number four.

0:01:490:01:51

Hello, I'm Dominic Littlewood, and along with my brother in arms, Matt,

0:01:510:01:55

we are the only real true fighters of justice for the people -

0:01:550:01:58

-not these thespians!

-LAUGHTER

0:01:580:02:00

Controversial. I am Matt Allwright,

0:02:000:02:03

and I'm a journalist and presenter on BBC Watchdog and Rogue Traders,

0:02:030:02:07

and we haven't brought our capes, have we, today?

0:02:070:02:09

-No.

-No. We haven't brought our capes.

0:02:090:02:12

APPLAUSE

0:02:120:02:14

Thank you, all of you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show, as it goes along.

0:02:140:02:18

So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:02:180:02:21

On an open bus tour through the nation's ignorance -

0:02:210:02:24

no need to book, just hop on - it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.

0:02:240:02:28

-Hiya. Evening, everybody.

-APPLAUSE

0:02:280:02:30

Good evening.

0:02:300:02:32

Evening all, we should say, shouldn't we, on a law and order special?

0:02:330:02:36

What a lovely line-up. We've got two people who've been on before.

0:02:360:02:39

Matt and Helen have both been on before - only made it as far as Round Two,

0:02:390:02:42

so no-one here's ever been in even so far as a head-to-head let alone a

0:02:420:02:45

jackpot round. And lovely, on podium three, to have Arthur.

0:02:450:02:48

He is one of my many, many celebrity lookalikes.

0:02:480:02:51

Whenever 'Allo 'Allo! is on - which is on literally all the time,

0:02:510:02:54

it's never off our screens - people will say,

0:02:540:02:56

-"Did you used to be the policeman in 'Allo 'Allo?"

-LAUGHTER

0:02:560:02:59

Lovely to have you all here. Very, very best of luck.

0:02:590:03:01

First round, one of those ones, might catch a couple of people out.

0:03:010:03:04

-OK.

-But... But I think it's a sort of question we've had before and,

0:03:040:03:09

-occasionally, people take a wrong turn on it. But...

-That'll be fun.

-..plenty of good answers there.

0:03:090:03:13

-Plenty of good answers.

-Excellent. Thank you very much.

0:03:130:03:15

As usual, all of today's questions have been put to 100 people before

0:03:150:03:18

the show. Our contestants are trying to find those all-important pointless answers -

0:03:180:03:22

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

0:03:220:03:25

Find one of those, we will add £250 to the jackpot.

0:03:250:03:28

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

0:03:280:03:30

and each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity,

0:03:300:03:33

we start off with a jackpot of £2,500.

0:03:330:03:35

There it is. APPLAUSE

0:03:350:03:38

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

0:03:380:03:41

So, all you have to remember is this...

0:03:460:03:48

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

0:03:480:03:51

eliminated. That's it. That's all you have to remember. So do everything you can to make sure

0:03:510:03:55

your scores are low. Best of luck to all four pairs.

0:03:550:03:58

Our first category this evening

0:03:580:04:00

is...

0:04:000:04:01

UK... Vicky's already despairing.

0:04:030:04:06

-UK... It's not that bad. UK Geography.

-You don't know me.

0:04:060:04:09

Can you decide in your pairs, who's going to go first, who's going to go second? And whoever's going first,

0:04:090:04:13

please step up to the podium.

0:04:130:04:15

OK, let's find out what the question is.

0:04:170:04:19

Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

0:04:190:04:25

Yeah, we're looking for any official UK cities -

0:04:310:04:33

there's 69 official UK cities that have been granted city status -

0:04:330:04:36

we're looking for any of those whose first vowel is an E, please.

0:04:360:04:39

Doesn't have to start with an E, obviously, but just the first vowel in its name is an E.

0:04:390:04:43

-Very best of luck.

-Yes.

0:04:430:04:45

Very best of luck indeed.

0:04:450:04:46

-OK, Helen, welcome back.

-Thank you.

-Lovely to have you back.

0:04:460:04:50

-Thank you very much.

-Now, Helen,

0:04:500:04:51

I can't understand how you played Bodybag.

0:04:510:04:54

-She was such a nasty piece of work.

-Wonderful part, though.

0:04:540:04:57

-Oh...

-Absolutely wonderful part.

0:04:570:04:59

Where did you film Bad Girls?

0:04:590:05:01

-Was that...

-Oh, it's 3 Mills Studio, which is in East London, yes.

0:05:010:05:04

-It was the biggest set in Europe.

-I was going to say...

-And it was solid.

0:05:040:05:08

-I promise you, everything worked.

-Oh, you can't have wobbly sets in a prison.

-No wobbly sets.

0:05:080:05:11

The gates clanged and the cells locked.

0:05:110:05:14

-Yes, they did. They really did.

-LAUGHTER

0:05:140:05:17

-That was quite frightening.

-If I didn't like somebody one day...

0:05:170:05:20

LAUGHTER

0:05:200:05:22

-..they stayed there quite a long time.

-Now, Helen...

-Yes?

0:05:220:05:25

A UK city whose first vowel is an E.

0:05:250:05:28

-Right.

-It's not quite as straightforward as you might think,

0:05:280:05:31

-is it, actually?

-No, but I think I've got one.

0:05:310:05:34

-Good.

-Exeter.

0:05:340:05:36

Ah, excellent answer. Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said Exeter.

0:05:360:05:40

Down it goes.

0:05:430:05:44

54.

0:05:460:05:47

APPLAUSE

0:05:470:05:50

54 for Exeter.

0:05:500:05:52

-Yeah, Exeter... Not only is its first vowel an E, its first letter is an E.

-Look at that.

0:05:520:05:55

It's got three Es in it. Doesn't have any other vowels.

0:05:550:05:57

-OK... Chris.

-Yes.

-Welcome. Great to have you here.

0:05:570:06:00

I mean, when you were doing The Bill, did you...

0:06:000:06:02

-I mean, you must have done quite a lot of police training for it?

-None whatsoever.

0:06:020:06:06

-Really?

-No.

-You didn't go visit Hendon once?

0:06:060:06:09

No, not at all. Every time I see a policeman, I run the other way.

0:06:090:06:12

-Yes.

-Do you have a policeman, sort of, adviser on board,

0:06:120:06:15

-who would tell you...

-There were police advisers there. Yeah. All the time. Yeah.

0:06:150:06:19

It must have been quite hard for them to advise Burnside,

0:06:190:06:21

given you literally didn't do anything you were supposed to do at any point.

0:06:210:06:25

LAUGHTER

0:06:250:06:26

Now, Chris, cities with E as their first vowel.

0:06:260:06:29

Well, I'm going to go for Ely.

0:06:290:06:32

Ely... OK, well, let's see.

0:06:320:06:34

Ely. How many of our 100 people said Ely?

0:06:340:06:36

Well, 54 is our only score at this point.

0:06:410:06:43

You've passed 54. Oh, Ely, look at that!

0:06:430:06:46

Sneaking by at 23.

0:06:460:06:48

Very good.

0:06:480:06:50

APPLAUSE

0:06:500:06:52

That's a very good answer. One of the smallest cities in the UK, Ely. Just 20,000 people.

0:06:520:06:56

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:06:560:06:58

Arthur, welcome to Pointless. It's great to have you here.

0:06:580:07:01

-It's great to be here.

-Now, when you were playing Crabtree,

0:07:010:07:03

how strict were they on script?

0:07:030:07:06

We used to have weird conversations like...

0:07:060:07:08

I can remember saying, "In the last series,

0:07:080:07:10

"I said 'deena mote' for 'dynamite' but this season it says 'deena meet'."

0:07:100:07:16

And David Croft would say, "Say whatever you feel is right."

0:07:160:07:20

LAUGHTER

0:07:200:07:22

Bizarre conversations.

0:07:220:07:23

There we are. Now, Arthur,

0:07:230:07:24

we're looking for a city whose first vowel is an E.

0:07:240:07:28

-Preston.

-Preston.

0:07:280:07:30

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

0:07:300:07:33

It's right.

0:07:350:07:36

Well, 23 is our low score.

0:07:380:07:40

Preston passes 23 with ease.

0:07:400:07:43

Down it goes to 9. Very well done indeed, Arthur.

0:07:430:07:45

APPLAUSE

0:07:450:07:47

That's a good answer, isn't it? Very, very well played.

0:07:500:07:52

Yeah, it was granted city status in 2002, Preston.

0:07:520:07:55

Who's on the, on the city committee?

0:07:550:07:58

-It is, it is...

-There's three people.

-Yeah.

-There's the Queen...

0:07:580:08:01

-Yes.

-There's... Do you know the ex-footballer Jimmy Bullard?

-Jimmy Bullard? Of course I do.

0:08:010:08:05

-And me.

-And you. LAUGHTER

0:08:050:08:07

We sit around, and we decide what's to be the next city.

0:08:070:08:10

Very good.

0:08:100:08:11

I can exclusively reveal - I mean, it's all fair and above board, and we don't accept bribes at all -

0:08:110:08:15

but the next UK city is going to be Qatar.

0:08:150:08:18

LAUGHTER

0:08:180:08:20

Matt, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.

0:08:240:08:28

Now, when you're doing your sort of doorstepping,

0:08:280:08:30

your investigative journalism...

0:08:300:08:32

So, has it come to blows yet, Matt?

0:08:320:08:34

The worst I've had, I've had a biro shoved up my nose,

0:08:340:08:38

and a leaf blower swung at my head. You know, one of the... Those big...

0:08:380:08:41

-You know, electric leaf blowers.

-Yeah.

-Whoosh! Like that.

-Was it blowing at the time?

0:08:410:08:46

-No, no. Otherwise I'd have a lovely, sort of...

-I was going to say, you'd have a...

-..Harry Styles quiff.

0:08:460:08:50

And all these things were done by Anne Robinson, you say?

0:08:500:08:53

LAUGHTER

0:08:530:08:55

She'd have to get near me first.

0:08:550:08:58

OK. Now, Matt, cities whose first vowel is an E.

0:08:580:09:01

I think, possibly, the last city to be named was Perth.

0:09:010:09:06

OK, so you're going to say Perth.

0:09:060:09:08

Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said Perth.

0:09:080:09:11

It's right.

0:09:120:09:14

HE EXHALES

0:09:140:09:15

9 is our low score at the moment.

0:09:150:09:18

Perth...

0:09:180:09:19

is 4. Look at that. Very well done indeed.

0:09:190:09:22

APPLAUSE

0:09:220:09:25

-Well done.

-Thank you.

-That's a terrific answer, Matt.

0:09:250:09:28

-Very well played. And you're absolutely right.

-Thank you very much indeed.

0:09:280:09:31

Halfway through the round, let's look at the scores, 4 the best score.

0:09:310:09:35

Very well done. Dominic and Matt looking very strong.

0:09:350:09:38

Then up to 9 - Arthur and Mina.

0:09:380:09:39

23 - Chris and Roberta.

0:09:390:09:41

And then 54 - Helen and Vicky.

0:09:410:09:43

So, Vicky... Yes, we're going to need a low score from you.

0:09:430:09:46

-Good luck.

-I can't...

0:09:460:09:48

OK, we're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:09:480:09:52

Dominic, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.

0:09:550:09:57

Now, you, I imagine you must get the best service of anyone in the country.

0:09:570:10:01

Speaking as someone who generally apologises if someone stands on my

0:10:010:10:05

foot. Were you always quite a confrontational, shall we say, person?

0:10:050:10:08

I regularly complain, but I also regularly will actually compliment somebody if the service is good,

0:10:080:10:12

and I'll quite often phone a company up or send a letter and just say,

0:10:120:10:15

"Do you know what? That person, or what you're doing, is very, very good."

0:10:150:10:19

But I do like speaking my mind.

0:10:190:10:21

Positive encouragement. It's the only way they learn, Dom, isn't it?

0:10:210:10:24

-It is.

-Only way they learn.

-If you don't correct, you accept.

0:10:240:10:26

-Oh, that's nice! I'll remember that.

-How about that?

0:10:260:10:29

Dominic, there you are, you're on 4.

0:10:290:10:30

Our high-scorers are Vicky and Helen on 54, so 49 or less...

0:10:300:10:34

will get you through.

0:10:340:10:36

I can only think of some of the bigger ones. I'll go for Leicester.

0:10:360:10:39

Leicester, says Dominic.

0:10:390:10:40

Let's see if that's right. Here's your red line.

0:10:400:10:43

Quite nice and high. If you can get below that, you're through to Round Two.

0:10:430:10:46

Very well done. You're in Round Two.

0:10:520:10:55

31 for Leicester. APPLAUSE

0:10:550:10:57

35 is your total.

0:10:570:10:59

Well played, terrific stuff.

0:11:000:11:01

The world's first-ever package tour was organised by

0:11:010:11:04

-Thomas Cook from Leicester to Loughborough.

-Oh!

-I know.

0:11:040:11:07

How about that? I have to say, though, left 20 minutes late, so I don't know...

0:11:070:11:10

LAUGHTER

0:11:100:11:12

Thanks very much. When was that?

0:11:120:11:14

-Must have been centuries ago.

-1841.

0:11:140:11:16

Wow.

0:11:160:11:18

-Thank you very much.

-Pleasure.

-Good.

0:11:180:11:20

-Mina.

-Hello.

-Mina, welcome to Pointless.

0:11:200:11:22

Lovely to have you here. Do you know,

0:11:220:11:24

my very first foray into TV comedy was on Thin Blue Line?

0:11:240:11:27

On The Thin Blue Line?

0:11:270:11:29

I don't know why, I played a drunk toff.

0:11:290:11:32

-LAUGHTER

-That's so, that's so weird.

0:11:320:11:33

-I know. Bit of a...

-You've taken method acting really too far.

0:11:330:11:37

LAUGHTER

0:11:370:11:38

Now, Mina, you're on 9.

0:11:380:11:41

The high-scorers are still Vicky and Helen on 54.

0:11:410:11:43

-I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.

-No pressure.

0:11:430:11:45

So, 44 or less gets you through.

0:11:450:11:48

I've got a couple.

0:11:480:11:50

I'm going to go for Derby.

0:11:510:11:53

Derby. Derby, says Mina.

0:11:530:11:56

Here's your red line. If you can get below that with Derby,

0:11:560:11:59

you're through to the next round. How many people said Derby?

0:11:590:12:02

It's right.

0:12:030:12:05

Very well done.

0:12:070:12:10

18.

0:12:100:12:11

APPLAUSE

0:12:110:12:13

27 is your total.

0:12:130:12:15

Very good answer. There's a car park in Derby that's been named one of the

0:12:160:12:19

ten most secure places in the world, alongside Fort Knox and various other places.

0:12:190:12:22

Hasn't had a case of vandalism ever since it's been built.

0:12:220:12:25

So it's one of the most secure places in the world.

0:12:250:12:27

-I wouldn't keep my money there, but, apparently...

-No.

0:12:270:12:30

-Apparently that's the place.

-Wow.

0:12:300:12:31

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:12:310:12:33

Ah, Roberta. Roberta, welcome to Pointless.

0:12:330:12:37

Now, you were in The Bill.

0:12:370:12:39

It was one night a week, wasn't it?

0:12:390:12:41

But then it suddenly went up to twice a week.

0:12:410:12:43

It was so immensely popular.

0:12:430:12:45

-I know.

-So, that kind of...

0:12:450:12:46

But it remained a drama, but almost on a, sort of,

0:12:460:12:49

on a soap opera footing.

0:12:490:12:51

-Everyone had, you know, the speed at which...

-They're mad for it in Australia.

0:12:510:12:54

I did a book tour there and it was like...

0:12:540:12:56

I was Tom Cruise when I got off the plane. I mean, they were mad for it.

0:12:560:13:00

Now, Roberta, you're on 23.

0:13:000:13:03

I'm so sorry, Vicky and Helen, to keep holding you up like this,

0:13:030:13:06

but you are still our high-scorers.

0:13:060:13:07

-I'm going to faint in a minute.

-30 or less, Roberta,

0:13:070:13:10

keeps you in the game.

0:13:100:13:12

I'm going to go for Wrexham.

0:13:120:13:14

Wrexham. Wrexham.

0:13:140:13:16

That, that... The single, sort of, "Mmm" from

0:13:160:13:19

the audience, I don't know what that means. But, yeah. Wrexham.

0:13:190:13:21

Let's see if it's right. Here's your red line. That could be a brilliant answer, let's hope it is.

0:13:210:13:26

Oh, no!

0:13:290:13:31

-Oh, no!

-I'm so sorry!

0:13:310:13:34

-It's all right.

-I'm so sorry, Roberta.

0:13:340:13:36

Wrexham...

0:13:360:13:37

You should wave Wrexham through one of these days.

0:13:370:13:40

I know. I wish I had now. If only I had.

0:13:400:13:42

No, not a city, I'm afraid, Roberta.

0:13:420:13:45

There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Vicky...

0:13:450:13:48

Vicky, welcome to Pointless.

0:13:480:13:50

-Thank you.

-How many episodes of Bad Girls did you make?

0:13:500:13:54

We reached over 100, I know, when we actually finished,

0:13:540:13:57

including a couple of Christmas specials, that sort of thing.

0:13:570:13:59

But I remember them kind of going, "And this is, you know,

0:13:590:14:02

"our 100th episode," so I know we did a little bit more than that.

0:14:020:14:05

-That's got to be some kind of record, hasn't it?

-Yeah.

-That's an enormous number.

0:14:050:14:08

Living, breathing...

0:14:080:14:09

You must have had a fair few run-ins with Helen, over...

0:14:090:14:12

I mean, not with Helen Helen, but with Bodybag...

0:14:120:14:15

Well, yes and no,

0:14:150:14:16

because although my character and the other Julie were constant

0:14:160:14:19

-reoffenders...

-Yeah.

0:14:190:14:21

..they sort of played the game, as well, so they, you know,

0:14:210:14:24

they were quite helpful sometimes or...

0:14:240:14:26

-They wouldn't grass, you know? That sort of thing.

-They weren't, they weren't the naughtiest,

0:14:260:14:30

-by any means.

-No, no.

-Very good. Now, Vicky...

0:14:300:14:33

-Yes.

-No longer the high-scorers.

0:14:330:14:34

No longer the high-scorers. You have a target, which is 68 or less.

0:14:340:14:37

-Yeah. Yeah, OK.

-68 or less.

0:14:370:14:39

-Right.

-You must have a good answer, surely.

-You'd think, wouldn't you? You'd think I would.

0:14:390:14:43

-Sure would.

-OK, I'm going to go for Chelmsford.

0:14:430:14:46

Chelmsford. Chelmsford, says Vicki. Here's your red line.

0:14:460:14:49

If you can get below that with Chelmsford, you're

0:14:490:14:51

into the next round. Let's see how many people said Chelmsford. Is it right?

0:14:510:14:55

It is right.

0:14:580:14:59

And through you go.

0:15:000:15:01

Oh, that's a good answer. Down it goes, down it goes.

0:15:030:15:05

It's 3! What about that? APPLAUSE

0:15:050:15:08

The best till last, Vicky.

0:15:080:15:10

57 is your total. Lowest score of the round, there.

0:15:100:15:14

-Oh, my goodness!

-I tell you what, she's some actress.

0:15:140:15:16

At the start of the round, "Oh, not UK Geography,"

0:15:160:15:18

throughout the entire round, "This is going to be awful,"

0:15:180:15:21

and then coming up with the best answer of the round, just like that.

0:15:210:15:24

Just like that. Now, there is one pointless answer out here,

0:15:240:15:26

and there's some low scorers as well.

0:15:260:15:28

The pointless answer is Derry. So, well done if you said that.

0:15:280:15:32

You'd have got 1 point for Newry, also in Northern Ireland.

0:15:320:15:37

2 points for Westminster.

0:15:370:15:38

Then it's Chelmsford, it's the next best answer on the board.

0:15:380:15:41

Terrific stuff. 6 points for Hereford, and for Wells.

0:15:410:15:45

9 points for Newport. 11 for Chester.

0:15:450:15:47

13 for Peterborough. 16 for Belfast.

0:15:470:15:50

17, Sheffield.

0:15:500:15:52

You would have got 27 for Newcastle upon Tyne.

0:15:520:15:55

So the top three were...

0:15:550:15:56

Leeds, 37.

0:15:580:16:00

Exeter, 54. What do you think's top?

0:16:000:16:03

-Edinburgh.

-Edinburgh, of course it is. Big scorer, though. 78.

0:16:030:16:07

Wow. There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:16:070:16:10

At the end of our first round, the pair who are heading home -

0:16:100:16:13

I'm so sorry - with their high score of 123, it's Roberta and Chris.

0:16:130:16:17

Far too soon to be sending you home.

0:16:170:16:19

It's been such a pleasure having you on.

0:16:190:16:21

Thank you. Roberta and Chris! APPLAUSE

0:16:210:16:23

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

0:16:260:16:30

And, suddenly, we're down to three pairs.

0:16:340:16:36

And at the end of this round, we'll be down to two pairs.

0:16:360:16:38

I mean, it's sort of tragic, really, but that's how it works.

0:16:380:16:41

Well done, Dominic and Matt. Lovely low-scoring teamwork there.

0:16:410:16:45

-Thank you.

-Superb. Vicky...

-I know!

0:16:450:16:47

Just wonderful.

0:16:470:16:49

Lovely low score from you. And Mina and Arthur...

0:16:490:16:52

I mean, we've got returners on both of those two pairs,

0:16:520:16:54

and you're here for the first time, and here you are in Round Two already.

0:16:540:16:57

It's looking very strong indeed.

0:16:570:16:59

Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two, this evening,

0:16:590:17:02

is...

0:17:020:17:04

Actors. Can you all decide, in your pairs,

0:17:060:17:08

who's going to go first, who's going to go second?

0:17:080:17:10

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

0:17:100:17:13

OK. And the question concerns...

0:17:150:17:17

-Film Villains. Richard...

-On each board,

0:17:210:17:23

we're going to show you the names of six film villains.

0:17:230:17:25

We need you to tell us the actor who played them, please.

0:17:250:17:28

Obviously, the more obscure answer, the better it's going to be.

0:17:280:17:30

Six on each board, 12 to have a go at at home.

0:17:300:17:33

-Good luck.

-OK, so, who is the actor who played each of these villains?

0:17:330:17:36

Here's our first board of six. We've got...

0:17:360:17:39

I'll read those all again.

0:17:540:17:55

Helen...

0:18:090:18:10

My memory's left me, I'm afraid, but...

0:18:100:18:14

I know it's the most obvious, but...

0:18:140:18:16

Hannibal Lecter was Anthony Hopkins.

0:18:160:18:18

Anthony Hopkins, says Helen.

0:18:180:18:20

Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100 people agree.

0:18:200:18:23

53. APPLAUSE

0:18:290:18:32

Not bad. Not bad.

0:18:320:18:34

A character who was previously played by Brian Cox, of course.

0:18:340:18:38

-Not that one.

-Not that one.

-No.

-The other one.

0:18:380:18:41

-Now, Mina...

-Yes.

0:18:410:18:44

-Mina, how do you find our board?

-I know a few of them.

0:18:440:18:48

But I'm just wondering which...

0:18:480:18:50

Cos sometimes you think it's obscure and it's obvious.

0:18:500:18:54

Erm...

0:18:540:18:56

I'm going to go Sheriff of Nottingham - Alan Rickman.

0:18:560:18:59

Alan Rickman, says Mina.

0:18:590:19:00

Let's see how many of our 100 people agree with that.

0:19:000:19:03

-Ooh...

-Did he not...?

0:19:070:19:09

-Oh, Mina.

-Oh!

0:19:090:19:11

I'm afraid it's not, for some reason.

0:19:110:19:13

Yeah, sorry, Mina. Not 2010, I'm afraid.

0:19:130:19:16

Oh! 2010!

0:19:160:19:19

Of course. There we go. Thanks very much, Richard.

0:19:190:19:23

Dominic. Now, here's fun, Dominic - this board's all yours.

0:19:230:19:25

You can talk us through all of them, if you like.

0:19:250:19:28

This is not a good subject for me,

0:19:280:19:30

because I'm somebody who watches films and pays very little attention to the actors' names.

0:19:300:19:34

-Ah...

-So, for me, I'm going to take what I think is the right answer,

0:19:340:19:38

probably not the lowest one, I'm going to say Gordon Gekko,

0:19:380:19:41

which I think was Michael Douglas.

0:19:410:19:43

Michael Douglas, says Dominic. Michael Douglas.

0:19:430:19:45

Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said it.

0:19:450:19:47

It is right. Well, 100 was our highest score.

0:19:500:19:53

You've passed that. 53 is our low. You've passed that.

0:19:530:19:56

23.

0:19:560:19:57

APPLAUSE

0:19:570:19:59

Still looking very strong on that far podium.

0:19:590:20:02

Well played, Dom. Very, very solid indeed.

0:20:020:20:03

Let's fill in the rest of these.

0:20:030:20:05

We'll end on the Sheriff of Nottingham.

0:20:050:20:07

We'll start at the top, Freddy Krueger...

0:20:070:20:09

who was Robert Englund.

0:20:090:20:11

Would have scored you 17 points.

0:20:110:20:13

-John Doe, in Se7en...

-It's Kevin Spacey.

0:20:130:20:15

Kevin Spacey was the answer there.

0:20:150:20:17

10 points. Captain Hook in Hook...

0:20:170:20:19

-Slightly harder, that. It's...

-Dustin Hoffman.

0:20:190:20:22

-Dustin Hoffman, yeah.

-Yeah.

-21 points.

0:20:220:20:24

And the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood was...

0:20:240:20:27

-Mark Strong, or something like that?

-No, it was Matthew Macfadyen.

0:20:270:20:30

-Oh, right.

-And it was a pointless answer, so very well done if you said it.

0:20:300:20:33

Can I just commend our persistence in writing Se7en with a "7".

0:20:330:20:37

-With a

-"7". I like that.

-Good, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-It's attention to detail.

0:20:370:20:40

Yup. It is. Bewitched?

0:20:400:20:41

Do we do the little star instead of the E?

0:20:410:20:44

-Yes, we do.

-This is all thrilling. Thank you.

0:20:440:20:46

Let's move on. We're halfway through the round.

0:20:460:20:49

Let's take a look at those scores. 23. Well done, Dominic.

0:20:490:20:52

Dominic and Matt, once again, looking very, very strong.

0:20:520:20:55

Then up to 53, Helen and Vicky.

0:20:550:20:57

Once again, a high score from you, Helen.

0:20:570:20:59

But you've been saved by an incorrect answer,

0:20:590:21:01

because Mina and Arthur are on 100.

0:21:010:21:03

It may not be the last incorrect answer, Arthur,

0:21:030:21:05

so if we have a low score from you...

0:21:050:21:08

we could see you in the next round.

0:21:080:21:10

We'll come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:21:100:21:13

OK, let's put six more villains up on the board.

0:21:150:21:18

And here they are. We've got...

0:21:180:21:19

I'll read those one last time.

0:21:370:21:39

Now then, Matt...

0:21:540:21:57

It's one of those subjects where you think you know almost all of them...

0:21:570:22:01

-Yeah.

-..but not with 100% certainty.

0:22:010:22:05

So I'm going to go with the one I'm relatively sure of...

0:22:050:22:09

..and that's Alec Trevelyan from GoldenEye, I think was Sean Bean.

0:22:100:22:14

Sean Bean.

0:22:140:22:15

Now, you have to score 76 or less.

0:22:150:22:17

That's what it looks like. There's the red line.

0:22:170:22:19

Let's see how many people said Sean Bean.

0:22:190:22:21

It's right.

0:22:230:22:25

And you're through.

0:22:250:22:26

13.

0:22:300:22:31

APPLAUSE

0:22:310:22:33

36 is your total.

0:22:330:22:35

Well played, Matt. They're not putting a foot wrong on that last podium, are they?

0:22:360:22:40

Indeed. Thanks very much indeed. Now, Arthur...

0:22:400:22:43

Still our high-scorers.

0:22:430:22:45

I don't know whether this is a high score. I mean, there's...

0:22:450:22:48

I've seen all of these movies, but I can't really remember the names.

0:22:480:22:51

But the one I think I can remember is Cruella De Vil - Glenn Close.

0:22:510:22:54

Glenn Close, says Arthur.

0:22:540:22:55

No red line for you, as you are the high-scorers,

0:22:550:22:58

but let's see how many of our 100 said Glenn Close.

0:22:580:23:01

Not bad. 22.

0:23:090:23:10

APPLAUSE

0:23:100:23:13

122 is your total.

0:23:130:23:15

Yeah, well played. Did everything you could there.

0:23:150:23:17

Just puts a little bit of pressure on Vicky.

0:23:170:23:19

Yeah. I was going to say that one.

0:23:190:23:22

-Vicky, do you want to talk us through the board?

-Not really, no.

-No?

0:23:220:23:25

LAUGHTER

0:23:250:23:26

Actually, there was only about three that I knew.

0:23:260:23:29

I didn't know the Sean Bean one, at all.

0:23:290:23:31

So I'm going to go with the Dr Evil, Austin Powers as Mike Myers.

0:23:310:23:35

Mike Myers, says Vicky.

0:23:350:23:37

Here's your red line. Get below that with Mike Myers,

0:23:370:23:39

you're in the head-to-head. Let's see how may people said Mike Myers.

0:23:390:23:43

Very well done.

0:23:480:23:49

33. APPLAUSE

0:23:510:23:53

86 is your total.

0:23:530:23:55

Yeah, he played Austin Powers and Dr Evil, of course, Mike Myers,

0:23:570:24:00

in that film. Wonderful performances.

0:24:000:24:03

Now, Hans Gruber in Die Hard - do you know who that is, Mina?

0:24:030:24:07

-Jeremy Irons.

-It's Alan Rickman!

-Alan Rickman.

-No, it was Alan Rickman.

-Alan Rickman!

0:24:070:24:11

-Really?

-16 points for that. Agent Smith in The Matrix...

0:24:110:24:15

was Hugo Weaving.

0:24:150:24:17

6 points. The best answer on the board

0:24:170:24:19

is Professor Moriarty in the Sherlock Holmes films.

0:24:190:24:22

Do you know that? It's a tough one.

0:24:220:24:23

It was Jared Harris.

0:24:230:24:25

Jared Harris.

0:24:250:24:27

Would have scored 1 point.

0:24:270:24:29

Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of our second round,

0:24:290:24:32

-the pair who are heading home with their high score of 122, I'm so sorry...

-I'm sorry.

0:24:320:24:36

-..Arthur and Mina, it's you.

-I was so looking forward to Arthur playing for the "jokpit", as well.

0:24:360:24:40

LAUGHTER

0:24:400:24:42

Thank you so much for coming along.

0:24:420:24:44

Please come and play again. Arthur and Mina, wonderful to have you on.

0:24:440:24:47

APPLAUSE

0:24:470:24:48

But for Dominic and Matt, Helen and Vicky,

0:24:500:24:52

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

0:24:520:24:54

APPLAUSE

0:24:540:24:55

Very well done. Dominic and Matt, Helen and Vicky,

0:24:570:25:00

you are now one step closer to the final

0:25:000:25:01

and the chance to play for that jackpot,

0:25:010:25:03

which currently stands at £2,500.

0:25:030:25:06

APPLAUSE

0:25:060:25:09

So we have to decide which pair's going to go through to the final and play for that money

0:25:090:25:13

and we do that by making you go head-to-head.

0:25:130:25:15

The big difference is you can now chat before you give your answers.

0:25:150:25:17

You can confer, play as a team.

0:25:170:25:19

First player to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

0:25:190:25:22

It's going to be very exciting.

0:25:220:25:24

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

0:25:240:25:27

APPLAUSE

0:25:270:25:29

OK, here comes your first question.

0:25:310:25:33

And it concerns...

0:25:330:25:35

Madonna UK Top 40 Singles, Richard.

0:25:380:25:41

We're going to show you five images now,

0:25:410:25:43

which are visual clues to Madonna UK Top 40 singles.

0:25:430:25:45

Can you name the most obscure single, please?

0:25:450:25:48

Brilliant. Let's reveal our five visual clues.

0:25:480:25:51

And here they are.

0:25:510:25:52

We've got...

0:25:520:25:54

Mmm!

0:26:120:26:14

OK. There we are.

0:26:190:26:21

Now, Dominic and Matt, you've been our low scorers,

0:26:210:26:23

so you will answer first.

0:26:230:26:26

I think we'll go with A.

0:26:270:26:29

-Mmm-hmm.

-And I'm going with Dear Jessie for that.

0:26:290:26:32

Dear Jessie. Dear Jessie, say Dominic and Matt.

0:26:320:26:34

Now then, Helen and Victoria,

0:26:340:26:36

do you want to talk us through the rest of that board?

0:26:360:26:38

I've got to say, out of all the artists I could pick,

0:26:380:26:40

I'm not just saying this, I'm not, I'm not a great fan.

0:26:400:26:43

Sorry, Madonna. So I only know, actually, two and that's by kind of

0:26:430:26:46

working it out. So I think the least, sorry, the lowest score would be...

0:26:460:26:50

American Pie? Would D be that?

0:26:500:26:53

OK, you're going to go for American Pie.

0:26:530:26:55

So we've got Dear Jessie, we've got American Pie.

0:26:550:26:57

Dominic and Matt said Dear Jessie for A.

0:26:570:26:58

Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.

0:26:580:27:01

It's right.

0:27:030:27:05

22.

0:27:090:27:10

APPLAUSE

0:27:100:27:12

22. Now then, Helen and Vicky have gone for American Pie for D.

0:27:140:27:17

Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said American Pie.

0:27:170:27:21

-It is right. Oi!

-Oh.

0:27:230:27:25

86.

0:27:250:27:26

APPLAUSE

0:27:260:27:29

Very well done. Dominic and Matt, after one question, you're up 1-0.

0:27:290:27:32

Well played, gents. Let's fill in the rest of these.

0:27:320:27:35

C, took me a while to work this one out.

0:27:350:27:37

-Material Girl.

-Material Girl.

0:27:370:27:39

-Of course it is.

-I was thinking, stair carpet child...?

0:27:390:27:42

I was thinking, is it tartan? What is it? Stripe?

0:27:420:27:45

52 points for that.

0:27:450:27:47

-E...

-Hollywood.

0:27:480:27:49

Hollywood, yup.

0:27:490:27:51

Well done. That would have scored you 48.

0:27:510:27:53

And the best answer was a number-four hit, and it is...

0:27:530:27:57

Bedtime Story.

0:27:570:27:58

-Oh...

-It would have scored you 5 points.

0:27:580:28:00

Very well done, if you said that at home.

0:28:000:28:02

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

0:28:020:28:05

Helen and Vicky, you get to answer it first

0:28:050:28:06

but you have to win it to stay in the game,

0:28:060:28:08

-so very best of luck.

-OK, thank you.

-It concerns...

0:28:080:28:11

LAUGHTER

0:28:130:28:15

-TV Crime Shows. Richard.

-OK.

0:28:150:28:17

Yeah, we're going to show you five clues now,

0:28:170:28:19

to facts about TV crime shows.

0:28:190:28:20

You just need to give us the most obscure answer, please.

0:28:200:28:23

Thanks very much, Richard. Now, look,

0:28:230:28:24

I could read out the clues for you but where's the fun in that,

0:28:240:28:27

when we've got Kevin Whately to do it?

0:28:270:28:29

Kevin...

0:28:290:28:31

Hi, Xander and Richard.

0:28:310:28:32

I'm sorry I can't be there tonight, but I'm up to me eyes in murder.

0:28:320:28:36

But I do have five questions for you about crime shows on TV.

0:28:360:28:40

Which actor won a Golden Globe in 2012

0:28:410:28:44

for playing DCI John Luther in Luther?

0:28:440:28:47

Oh...

0:28:470:28:49

On which Channel Island was Bergerac set?

0:28:490:28:51

What is the name of the Danish drama series that starred Sophie Grabol

0:28:540:28:58

as the detective Sarah Lund?

0:28:580:29:00

Which actor plays my character's sidekick in the TV series Lewis?

0:29:010:29:06

And the TV series Life On Mars and Ashes To Ashes are named after

0:29:080:29:12

singles by which British singer?

0:29:120:29:14

Good luck.

0:29:140:29:16

Mmm.

0:29:160:29:17

OK, I'll read those out for you again.

0:29:170:29:19

Here they are...

0:29:190:29:21

There we are.

0:29:390:29:41

Helen and Vicky, you go first.

0:29:410:29:43

-A-hem.

-Erm, right.

0:29:430:29:47

Well, the actor who played Detective Inspector's Lewis's sidekick

0:29:470:29:50

was Laurence Fox.

0:29:500:29:52

Laurence Fox, say Helen and Vicky. Laurence Fox.

0:29:520:29:55

Now, Dominic and Matt, talk us through the rest of that board.

0:29:550:29:58

So, the British actor who won a Golden Globe in 2012

0:29:580:30:02

for Luther was Idris Elba.

0:30:020:30:04

The Danish drama series, we think, is The Killing.

0:30:040:30:08

The Channel Island could be Jersey or Guernsey, and I can

0:30:080:30:10

never remember which one it is.

0:30:100:30:13

And David Bowie recorded the...

0:30:130:30:15

-Ashes To Ashes.

-Ashes To Ashes and Life On Mars.

0:30:150:30:18

We're going to go for Danish drama, yeah?

0:30:180:30:20

-Yeah.

-The Killing. The Killing.

0:30:200:30:21

So, we have Laurence Fox and we have The Killing.

0:30:210:30:24

Helen and Vicky said Laurence Fox

0:30:240:30:26

played Kevin's sidekick.

0:30:260:30:28

Let's see if that's right.

0:30:280:30:29

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

0:30:290:30:32

Oh...

0:30:390:30:40

APPLAUSE 15. That's a good score.

0:30:400:30:43

15 for Laurence Fox.

0:30:450:30:47

Dominic and Matt, meanwhile, have said The Killing.

0:30:470:30:49

Let's see if that's right.

0:30:490:30:51

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

0:30:510:30:54

Oh! 17! APPLAUSE

0:31:010:31:03

I said it was going to be close.

0:31:050:31:07

Look at that. Very well done indeed.

0:31:070:31:09

Helen and Vicky, absolutely back in the game, there.

0:31:090:31:11

It's 1-1 after two questions.

0:31:110:31:13

How about that? Well played, both teams, there.

0:31:130:31:15

The best two answers on the board.

0:31:150:31:16

Nothing you could have done about Laurence Fox -

0:31:160:31:18

the best answer up there.

0:31:180:31:20

Idris Elba was correct.

0:31:200:31:21

That would have scored you 24 points.

0:31:230:31:26

The Channel Island is Jersey,

0:31:260:31:29

and that would have scored you 71.

0:31:290:31:31

And you were right about David Bowie, as well,

0:31:310:31:33

and that would have scored you 60.

0:31:330:31:35

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:31:350:31:37

OK, it all comes down to this third question.

0:31:370:31:39

Whoever wins this goes through to the final,

0:31:390:31:41

and plays for that jackpot.

0:31:410:31:42

Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...

0:31:420:31:44

Yeah, we're going to show you five items, now, that are used in DIY,

0:31:500:31:53

but we've left out alternate letters from their names.

0:31:530:31:55

Can you fill in those gaps? If you give us the most obscure answer,

0:31:550:31:58

you'll go through to play for the jackpot, so very best of luck.

0:31:580:32:00

OK, let's reveal our five DIY tools, and here they are...

0:32:000:32:04

I'll read those all one last time.

0:32:170:32:18

Dominic and Matt will go first.

0:32:270:32:30

THEY WHISPER

0:32:300:32:32

You've got sanding... Sanding block.

0:32:340:32:38

-Soldering iron.

-Oh, yeah, yeah.

-Yeah.

0:32:380:32:41

Yeah, cos no-one'll get that.

0:32:410:32:43

-Yeah.

-OK.

-Yeah, OK.

-Yeah.

0:32:430:32:44

We'd like to go the fourth one down...

0:32:460:32:49

and that should be soldering iron.

0:32:490:32:53

-Soldering iron.

-S-O-L-D-E...

0:32:530:32:55

-Yeah, soldering iron.

-Soldering iron.

-That's how it's spelt.

0:32:550:32:58

Now, Helen and Vicky, talk us through the rest of that board,

0:32:580:33:00

-if you can.

-We didn't actually know that many.

0:33:000:33:02

We're going to be honest with you.

0:33:020:33:04

The third one down, we think, is jigsaw.

0:33:040:33:06

Yes, and I think the last one is spirit level.

0:33:060:33:09

-So we're toying up, and we think to go for...

-Spirit level.

0:33:100:33:13

Spirit level.

0:33:130:33:15

OK, so we have soldering iron

0:33:150:33:16

and we have spirit level.

0:33:160:33:17

Dominic and Matt said soldering iron.

0:33:170:33:19

Let's see how many of our 100 said that.

0:33:190:33:21

It's right.

0:33:240:33:25

Oh, look at that. 9.

0:33:300:33:33

Thank you.

0:33:330:33:34

9 for soldering iron.

0:33:350:33:37

Helen and Vicky, meanwhile, have gone for spirit level.

0:33:370:33:40

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

0:33:400:33:42

It's right.

0:33:450:33:46

45. 45 for spirit level.

0:33:500:33:55

Which means, Dominic and Matt, very well done indeed,

0:33:550:33:57

after three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1.

0:33:570:34:00

-Well done, darling.

-Thank you.

0:34:000:34:01

And soldering iron was the best answer on that board,

0:34:010:34:03

so very, very well played.

0:34:030:34:04

Terrific head-to-head.

0:34:040:34:05

Let's fill in the rest of them.

0:34:050:34:07

Jigsaw, you were absolutely right about.

0:34:070:34:09

It's a big scorer, though.

0:34:090:34:10

Jigsaw would have scored you 64.

0:34:100:34:12

-The top one is blowtorch.

-Blowtorch.

0:34:120:34:15

Blowtorch, yup.

0:34:150:34:17

That would have scored you 35.

0:34:170:34:18

-And the second one...

-This I couldn't get for ages.

0:34:180:34:20

-Sanding block.

-Sanding block.

0:34:200:34:22

-Oh, right.

-And that would have scored 24.

0:34:220:34:24

There we are. Thanks very much indeed.

0:34:240:34:26

So the pair leaving us, at the end of the head-to-head round,

0:34:260:34:29

I'm sorry to say, Helen and Vicky.

0:34:290:34:30

But that was close.

0:34:300:34:32

-My goodness, what a fantastic penultimate round.

-Absolutely.

0:34:320:34:35

It's been such a treat having you on. Thank you for coming along.

0:34:350:34:37

-Thank you.

-Please come and play again.

0:34:370:34:39

-Helen and Vicky!

-Love to.

-Thank you.

0:34:390:34:42

Congrats, you two.

0:34:420:34:43

But, for Dominic and Matt, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:34:430:34:47

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:34:470:34:50

Congratulations, Dominic and Matt.

0:34:500:34:52

You fought off all the competition

0:34:520:34:54

and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:34:540:34:57

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot for your charities

0:35:020:35:05

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

0:35:050:35:09

CHEERING

0:35:090:35:11

Well, I think there's something poetic about this.

0:35:130:35:15

You've fought off all the pretend law and order people,

0:35:150:35:18

and here you are - our knights in shining armour,

0:35:180:35:21

daily doing battle against wrongdoers.

0:35:210:35:23

Let's hope there's something up on that board that you

0:35:230:35:26

like the look of. We've got four for you to choose from, and they are...

0:35:260:35:30

Boxers is a no-no. Absolute no-no, for me.

0:35:360:35:39

The Lake District, I think I know about, but I don't.

0:35:390:35:42

I know a little bit about the boxers,

0:35:420:35:43

but not enough to feel confident. Lake District, definitely no.

0:35:430:35:46

As long as the Lake District questions are all on Beatrix Potter,

0:35:460:35:49

-I'll be fine.

-OK, right.

-LAUGHTER

0:35:490:35:51

21st-century comeback albums -

0:35:510:35:53

no-one ever remembers comeback albums.

0:35:530:35:55

You're really good on music. You play in a band.

0:35:550:35:57

No-one remembers the name of a comeback album.

0:35:570:35:59

They remember the original but they don't remember the comeback album.

0:35:590:36:02

-I think '98 is the best one.

-Shall we go for that one?

-Yeah.

0:36:020:36:05

-'98.

-The year 1998.

0:36:050:36:07

-Richard...

-OK, best of luck, gents.

0:36:070:36:09

Questions in three very different areas, here.

0:36:090:36:11

Hopefully one of them, at least, will suit you.

0:36:110:36:13

We are looking for...

0:36:130:36:15

any credited cast member in the film Armageddon.

0:36:150:36:18

So anyone, according to IMDB, who appeared in the film Armageddon.

0:36:180:36:21

We are looking for any artist who had a UK number-one album in 1998.

0:36:220:36:26

Or any of the players in the Fifa World Cup final between Brazil

0:36:260:36:31

and France in 1998 - any of the 44 players on those two squads.

0:36:310:36:34

So anyone credited in the cast of Armageddon,

0:36:340:36:36

artists with UK number-one albums,

0:36:360:36:38

or players in the Fifa World Cup final squads of Brazil or France.

0:36:380:36:41

OK. Now, as always, you've got up to one minute

0:36:410:36:44

to come up with three answers, and all you need to win that jackpot

0:36:440:36:47

for your charities is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:36:470:36:50

-Are you ready?

-Are you ready?

0:36:500:36:53

-Yes.

-OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.

0:36:530:36:55

There they are. Your time starts now.

0:36:550:36:58

OK, so, in Armageddon, there's a crazy Russian guy,

0:36:580:37:01

and I think his name is Peter Stormguard.

0:37:010:37:04

-That's good.

-No-one will get that because he's a tiny character,

0:37:040:37:08

who's in it for five seconds, but he's also in Fargo.

0:37:080:37:10

-I think that's a good one.

-OK.

0:37:100:37:12

That's cracking. Go for that one, yeah.

0:37:120:37:14

So, players in the Fifa World Cup final,

0:37:140:37:16

-so the two teams that were contesting...

-In '98.

0:37:160:37:19

..were France and Brazil.

0:37:190:37:22

-So France...

-I don't know anything about France.

0:37:220:37:25

Manu Petit played for France,

0:37:250:37:28

definitely played for France, in that final. Emmanuel Petit.

0:37:280:37:31

And, then, who else would have been in the cup final?

0:37:330:37:35

Everyone knows Ronaldo.

0:37:350:37:37

Everyone knows Ronaldinho.

0:37:370:37:39

People don't... Who would people not remember from that final?

0:37:390:37:42

We've got 16 seconds and one more answer, and you're cooking with gas.

0:37:420:37:45

OK... I'm going to say...

0:37:450:37:47

-Let's go for another one.

-Ten seconds left.

-Cafu.

0:37:470:37:50

I'm going to say Cafu...

0:37:500:37:52

played in the World Cup final.

0:37:520:37:55

Armageddon, Peter Stormguard,

0:37:550:37:57

and Emmanuel Petit.

0:37:570:37:58

OK. That's your time up. Let's have those three answers again.

0:37:580:38:01

If that's not there, I'm sorry.

0:38:010:38:03

Let's have those three answers one last time.

0:38:030:38:05

-OK, Peter Stormguard...

-OK, Peter Stormguard.

0:38:050:38:07

..was in Armageddon.

0:38:070:38:09

-I really hope he was.

-Brilliant.

0:38:090:38:10

-OK.

-I'm going to say Emmanuel Petit played for France...

0:38:100:38:13

Emmanuel Petit.

0:38:130:38:15

..and Cafu played for Brazil.

0:38:150:38:17

Cafu, for Brazil.

0:38:170:38:18

OK. Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer,

0:38:180:38:21

-do you think?

-Peter Stormguard.

-Peter Stormguard.

0:38:210:38:24

Perfect. There it goes. Least likely to be pointless?

0:38:240:38:26

-Is Cafu.

-Cafu.

0:38:260:38:28

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

0:38:280:38:30

and here they are. We've got...

0:38:300:38:31

Well, three very good answers there.

0:38:360:38:37

Let's hope at least one of those is pointless,

0:38:370:38:40

and will win that jackpot for your charity.

0:38:400:38:42

What charities are you playing for? Dom, what's yours?

0:38:420:38:44

I'm going to split mine between lupus,

0:38:440:38:46

which is a condition that sadly took my mum from me,

0:38:460:38:49

and breast cancer,

0:38:490:38:50

because I know people close to me who have suffered from that.

0:38:500:38:53

-Matt?

-There's a fantastic homeless charity in my hometown, Reading,

0:38:530:38:57

called Launchpad, so half for that,

0:38:570:38:59

and half for the Stillborn and Neonatal Death Society.

0:38:590:39:03

Very good.

0:39:030:39:04

Four fantastic causes that stand to benefit.

0:39:100:39:12

Let's hope at least one of these answers is pointless

0:39:120:39:14

and will win that jackpot for you.

0:39:140:39:16

OK, your first answer was Cafu.

0:39:160:39:19

In this case, we were looking for players in the 1998 World Cup final.

0:39:190:39:22

Cafu, you thought was probably least likely to be pointless,

0:39:220:39:25

so let's find out.

0:39:250:39:27

For £2,500, how many people said Cafu?

0:39:270:39:30

Is it wrong?

0:39:300:39:32

-It's right.

-Oh, thank God.

0:39:320:39:34

Now, all this has to do is go down to 0,

0:39:340:39:36

and we can give you that jackpot of £2,500.

0:39:360:39:40

Cafu taking us down into the teens...

0:39:400:39:42

Into single figures, down it goes, still going...

0:39:420:39:44

Oh! 5! APPLAUSE

0:39:440:39:46

-That was close.

-There was room for a Rizla.

0:39:460:39:50

-Emmanuel Petit will be fine.

-It's a great answer, though.

0:39:500:39:52

That's a great answer.

0:39:520:39:54

Sadly not pointless, though.

0:39:540:39:56

Two more shots at today's jackpot.

0:39:560:39:57

Your next answer was Emmanuel Petit.

0:39:570:39:59

Again, we were looking for players in the World Cup final from 1998.

0:39:590:40:02

It has to be pointless.

0:40:020:40:04

For £2,500, how many people said Emmanuel Petit?

0:40:040:40:07

It's right.

0:40:110:40:13

Well, Cafu took us all the way down to 5.

0:40:130:40:15

Emanuel Petit now takes us down through the 20s into the teens...

0:40:150:40:19

Into single figures?

0:40:190:40:21

Yes, into single figures.

0:40:210:40:22

It passes 5... 4! GROANING AND APPLAUSE

0:40:220:40:24

We're heading in the right direction.

0:40:240:40:26

I tell you, you are going absolutely in the right direction.

0:40:260:40:29

Now you think of Sylvain Wiltord. No-one's going to get Sylvain...

0:40:290:40:32

-But this is our ace.

-But, now, this is the ace up your sleeve.

0:40:320:40:35

Peter... Where did you know Peter Stormguard from?

0:40:350:40:37

Because I love the films of the Coen brothers, and he's in Fargo,

0:40:370:40:40

and then he has this cameo, and it's fantastic, in Armageddon.

0:40:400:40:44

But I'm... I'm... I'm not sure I've got it right.

0:40:440:40:47

Well, this is the sort of pointless knowledge that wins games.

0:40:470:40:50

Let's find out. Peter Stormguard.

0:40:500:40:51

We were looking for cast members of Armageddon.

0:40:510:40:54

It has to be pointless.

0:40:540:40:55

For £2,500, how many people said Peter Stormguard?

0:40:550:40:58

-Oh, no!

-Oh, no!

-Oh, no!

0:41:020:41:05

It wasn't, was it? It's the wrong name.

0:41:050:41:07

-Well...

-It's the wrong name.

0:41:100:41:11

We will hear, in due course,

0:41:110:41:13

what the right answer should have been for that, but I'm so sorry.

0:41:130:41:16

-That's so annoying.

-That's the kind of answer that

0:41:160:41:18

should have won you the jackpot, but good knowledge.

0:41:180:41:21

I'm sure... I'm sure you weren't far off.

0:41:210:41:23

But I'm afraid you didn't find that pointless answer you needed to win

0:41:230:41:26

that jackpot, so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500.

0:41:260:41:29

However, as it's a celebrity special,

0:41:290:41:32

and all our celebrities are paying for a nominated charity,

0:41:320:41:34

we're going to donate £500 to each celebrity pair,

0:41:340:41:37

so there we are.

0:41:370:41:38

And you get a Pointless trophy to take away, so very well done.

0:41:400:41:43

It's been fabulous having you on the show. Very strong performance.

0:41:430:41:46

Yeah, really unlucky. It's not Stormguard.

0:41:460:41:48

It's Peter Stormare. Peter StormARE.

0:41:480:41:50

-Oh!

-It would have scored you 1 point.

0:41:500:41:52

-It wasn't pointless.

-Imagine that. It wasn't pointless.

0:41:520:41:55

-1 point.

-Oh, OK, that's fine. That was the best I had.

0:41:550:41:58

He is in Fargo as well.

0:41:580:42:00

Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.

0:42:000:42:02

We'll start with Armageddon.

0:42:020:42:04

Charlton Heston, who narrates the film, was a pointless answer.

0:42:040:42:07

Jessica Steen. Michael Clarke Duncan is a pointless answer.

0:42:070:42:10

Owen Wilson, a pointless answer.

0:42:100:42:12

Everyone there, pointless, apart from Bruce Willis,

0:42:120:42:14

Liv Tyler, Ben Affleck, Steve Buscemi,

0:42:140:42:16

-Peter Stormare, and Billy Bob Thornton.

-Peter Stormare.

0:42:160:42:18

Everyone else was pointless.

0:42:180:42:20

Let's take a look at the pointless answers for the albums.

0:42:200:42:23

5ive was a pointless answer.

0:42:230:42:24

-There, with a five at the beginning of it.

-There we go.

0:42:240:42:27

-Jane McDonald!

-Garbage, Jane McDonald...

0:42:270:42:28

The Beautiful South. You also could have had the Beastie Boys,

0:42:280:42:31

Catatonia, Embrace and the Corrs.

0:42:310:42:33

All of those were pointless answers, there.

0:42:330:42:35

Let's take a look at the final one.

0:42:350:42:37

The footballers, loads and loads of names in the footballers.

0:42:370:42:41

Bebeto. Denilson.

0:42:410:42:42

Didier Dechamps was a pointless answer, unbelievably.

0:42:420:42:44

Youri Djorkaeff. You could have had Aldair, Bernard Lama,

0:42:440:42:48

Christian Karambeu, Christophe Dugarry,

0:42:480:42:50

Edmundo Giovanni,

0:42:500:42:52

Junior Baiano, Lionel Charbonnier,

0:42:520:42:54

Vincent Candela, Ze Carlos and Ze Roberto.

0:42:540:42:56

All of those were pointless answers.

0:42:560:42:57

Very well done if you got those at home.

0:42:570:42:59

You know what? A really valiantly played jackpot round.

0:42:590:43:02

Really, really unlucky. Well played, gents.

0:43:020:43:04

Thanks very much. Unfortunately,

0:43:040:43:05

we have to say goodbye to you, Dominic and Matt,

0:43:050:43:07

but it's been brilliant having you on the show. Thank you for playing.

0:43:070:43:10

-Thank you.

-Dominic and Matt!

0:43:100:43:12

Join us next time, when we'll be putting more

0:43:150:43:17

obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.

0:43:170:43:19

-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...

-Goodbye.

0:43:190:43:21

And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.

0:43:210:43:23

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
