Children in Need Special Pointless Celebrities

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

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

and welcome to this special Children in Need edition

of Pointless Celebrities,

the show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.

Let's meet today's Pointless Celebrities.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

And, couple number one.

Please don't call us a couple!

I'm Lee Mack and this man here

plays my fictional father on the TV sitcom Not Going Out.

It's Bobby Ball.

Yes, I'm Bobby Ball. That's Bobby Ball.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

And, couple number two.

I am Pudsey Bear, and this is Terry Wogan,

and with me is a gem in the diadem of broadcasting, Esther Rantzen.

Aw, Terry!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

And, couple number three.

I'm Tom from McFly,

and this is my band-mate Danny, who is completely pointless.

Thank you! ALEXANDER WHOOPS

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

And finally, couple number four.

Hi, I'm Harry from McFly, and this is my lover, Dougie.

Hi!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

And these, ladies and gentlemen, are today's contestants!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Thanks very much. We'll find out more about you

throughout the show as it goes along.

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

I don't know about smart...he's certainly got a smart mouth on him.

Let's hope he keeps that in check today.

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

Hiya! APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Hi, everybody. Hi, everyone.

Ah, Richard. How are you?

I'm really well. How are you?

I'm thinking back to that meeting we had two weeks ago, when the producer

said, "You know Children in Need, it's Go To Work In Your Pyjamas Day,

"so why don't you wear pyjamas?" And we said, "Yeah, yeah, we'll do that."

And I said, "I'll tell you what would be funnier,

"wouldn't it be funnier if I wore a onesie?" Yeah!

I thought that was a great idea! Yeah, I'm just thinking back to that.

You know meetings you wish had never happened? Yeah.

So it gets worse. I'll show you the full effect.

LAUGHTER AND WHOOPING

APPLAUSE

You look grrrr-eat!

Thank you very much. What a line-up!

I think it might be my favourite line-up ever on Pointless. Yeah.

Isn't it amazing? I think it is.

Shall we do it? Let's do it. Let's do it!

All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.

Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.

Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer -

an answer none of our 100 people gave -

and each time that happens, we will add ?500 -

because it's a special charity edition - ?500 to the jackpot.

Now, as today's show is a Children in Need special,

we start off with a jackpot of ?5,000.

There they are. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

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

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Now, what you have to remember is the pair with the highest score

at the end of each round will be eliminated, and do remember,

in the first two rounds, there is to be no conferring between our pairs.

OK. The category for the first round today is...

..Words.

Ah! It's Words, Lee and Bobby.

I know words. You've got words, haven't you? No, I don't.

Can you decide who's going to play first

and who's going to play second. I don't know...

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

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

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

..words ending in ...son as they could.

Words ending ...son.

Richard. Yeah, we're looking for any word that has its own entry

in the Oxford Dictionary of English that ends ...son, please.

As always, no proper nouns or abbreviations.

There's plenty of pointless answers in here,

so there's plenty of money up for grabs in this round.

OK, thank you very much indeed.

Now, Lee and Bobby, you drew lots before the show

and you're going to go first.

And, Bobby, you've elected to go first of the pair.

Lovely to have you back, Bobby. It's great to be back.

Oh, I'm being transported to the last time you were on the show!

We had Bobby Davro, Kenny Lynch, you and Tommy, Keith Harris and Orville,

and of the six of you, Orville was the one who had all the answers.

LAUGHTER But he didn't win!

He didn't in the end, no. No, he didn't.

Remember, we're looking for words that end ...son.

Can't think of any. Erm...

Apple...appleson.

LAUGHTER

Appleson? No, appleson.

Appleson? Yeah. Appleson.

Not Appleton, appleson. Appleson. The...

It means depressed. It means down.

Yeah, I'm feeling a bit appleson at the moment.

LAUGHTER

OK, let's see if it's right,

and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said appleson.

Oh, I'm sorry, Bobby.

Well, I don't believe that. I'm shocked (!)

Well, it's Swahili. I'm sorry... ALEXANDER LAUGHS

I'm afraid it's an incorrect answer. That scores you 100 points.

I'm sorry, it's the maximum. Sorry, Lee.

Now, Esther, I notice you and Terry have been swapping places.

What's going on on desk two there?

Well, we had a...we had a discussion, didn't we?

You conferred?! Not at all!

Only about whether I was going in front of him or behind him. I see.

So, words ending in ...son? S-O-N.

S-O-N. And you can't have appleson, cos that's gone.

LAUGHTER OK!

Well, I think there is a word, caparison,

which I think applies to horses.

I think horses are caparisoned.

Well, I-I-I trust you. Let's find out.

Is it a word, and if it is, it deserves to go a long way down.

It is a word!

LEE: Oh, yes!

And it's a pointless word! Very well done indeed, Esther!

That is a pointless answer. It adds ?500 to today's jackpot.

Takes the total up to ?5,500.

And it scores you no points at all. Very well done indeed.

Caparison, Richard. Caparison's a brilliant answer.

Caparison's to do with horses.

It's a covering, an ornamental covering, for a saddle and a harness.

A caparison. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

Danny. Yes. Welcome to the show.

Thank you very much. Great to have you here.

Of course, you're going to be singing your song

later on in the show for us. We are, yes. Our new single, yes.

Your new single, out in November. Yes.

But, more importantly, the whole band are going to be

appearing at 7pm on the main show, aren't you?

Yes, it's actually a bit of an exclusive.

we're being joined by our friends, Busted,

for an exclusive performance for Children in Need.

Ooh, gasps! Genuinely excited about that.

Yeah, yeah. McFly AND Busted?

That's a super group!

I love Busted. (I prefer McFly.)

LAUGHTER Only a bit. Only a bit.

But I do love Busted. So James and Matt are joining you on the show?

Yeah, they're going to join us. Amazing.

Amazing. I'll be tuning in.

Now then, Danny, words ending S-O-N. Yeah.

We've had 100, we've had nothing.

I'm going to go for, er...

HE MUMBLES ..prison.

Prison. Prison, says Danny.

Let's see if that's right,

and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said prison.

It's absolutely right. Go on, lad! Go on!

Ooh, it's a good one!

19. Yeah! Wooo!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

I'm happy with that!

19 for prison, Richard.

Well played, Danny. Safe and sound.

You don't need me to define what prison means, do you?

ALEXANDER LAUGHS I certainly don't!

The amount of time you've spent inside...

Dougie, welcome to the show.

Lovely to have you here.

Thank you very much for having me. Words ending S-O-N, Dougie.

Hmm, is venison one?

Let's find out. Venison, says Dougie. Let's see if it's right,

let's see how many of our 100 people said venison.

HARRY: That's a good one. Thanks!

It is right. Is it going to go lower than prison?

Yes, it is. Down it goes to 12.

Good answer, dougie. Venison.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

12 for venison, Richard.

Well played, Dougie. Yeah, meat from a deer.

Originally meant meat from any hunted animal, but now, meat from a deer.

OK, thank you very much indeed, Richard.

We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.

Best score of that pass, Esther, was yours.

Very, very well done indeed.

Wonderful pointless answer with caparison.

Then we travel up to 12, where we find Dougie and Harry.

Up to 19, Danny and Tom.

Then, ahem! Quite a journey up to 100.

Bobby and Lee, where we find you.

But who knows what could happen in the next half of the round?

Lee, anything could happen.

We're going to come back down the line now.

Could the second players step up to the podium.

OK, so we're looking for words ending in S-O-N.

Harry, you're on 12.

The high-scorers are Lee and Bobby on 100.

That means 87 or less gets you through to the next round.

Er, I'm going to go with treason.

Treason, says Harry. Treason. Here's your red line.

If you get below that red line -

it's nice and high - you are through to the next round.

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

It's right. Yes! And it sees you through.

Down it goes to 20. Not bad at all.

32, your total, Harry and Dougie.

Treason, Rich.

Yeah, the crime of betraying one's country, treason.

For which you can get sent to prison.

Mmm! Or worse!

Yeah!

Tom. Yes! Welcome to Pointless.

What are you going to go for?

I'm going to go with season. Ooh!

Season. Very nice. Season. Well, in the context of the game,

you want to be scoring 80 or less, and there's your red line.

If you get below that, you are through.

Is it right, and how many people said it, if it is?

It is right.

You're in Round Two.

21. Oh, well done, mate!

APPLAUSE 21 takes your total up to 40.

LEE: So we have to hope Terry Wogan doesn't know any words.

Well done, Tom. But Harry and Dougie currently winning

the battle of McFly. They certainly are, yeah.

But you never know till the end of the show.

OK, you never do. You never do.

Never do. BOBBY WHEEZES AND LAUGHS

Kettle's gone! LAUGHTER

Thanks very much indeed. Terry.

I thought of, erm, a Shakespearean word.

You may not find it acceptable,

but it's whoreson. W-H-O-R-E-S-O-N.

Whoreson. Sorry, it's a...ahem, it's a great word.

Great word for tea-time, as well (!) Um...

LAUGHTER

Whoreson. That's a brilliant word, Terry.

I knew you'd like it!

Yeah! There is your red line. You're on nothing.

The high scorers are on 100.

If you can score 99 or less, you're through to the next round.

Let's see if "whoreson" is right,

and if it is, let's see how many people said it.

It is right, and you're through!

It's got to be pointless, surely.

And it is! Look at that! Very well done indeed.

Another pointless answer adds another ?500 to today's jackpot,

takes the total up to ?6,000.

It scores you nothing.

Very well done indeed, Terry. Fantastic.

That leaves your score at 0. Very impressive. A double pointless.

Isn't that billions? Esther and Terry, they know how to raise money

for Children in Need. That's very, very impressive.

Yes, it's an archaic word, used in Shakespeare for an unpleasant fellow.

Nicely put. Yeah. Yeah.

Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Lee.

We come to you. Listen, I have grave news. What?

You're the high scorers even before you've given your answer.

Well, I'm glad I spent seven hours getting here today.

Where did you come from?! Just round the corner,

but I was on Bobby's shoulders. He was carrying me.

Unlike this show.

Um...this is what I'm going to do to your house tonight.

Arson.

Arson, says Lee. There's no red line for you, I'm afraid,

as you're already the high scorers. But let's see

how many of our 100 people said "arson".

Well, it's right.

Look at that. Look at that! 21. That's all right, innit?

21 takes your total up to 121.

A good answer, Lee.

The deliberate act of setting fire to somebody's property.

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

We've heard two brilliant ones already, comparison and whoreson.

Anchorperson. Terry and Esther are both one of them.

Blouson, a type of jacket or shirt. Cameraperson, of course.

Would have been a pointless answer.

As is grison, ombudsperson, parison,

is a type of moulded glass.

Saucisson, French sausage.

A statesperson, and unperson.

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

So I'm afraid that the pair who will be heading home with 121,

it's Lee and Bobby. I'm really sorry.

AUDIENCE: Aww. It's worse than that.

AUDIENCE: Aww!

Don't look at me like that!

I didn't say appleson, it's not my fault!

Come on, let's get the train, son.

It's been fabulous having you on the show.

Thank you both so much for playing. Lee and Bobby, everyone. Fabulous.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Who's left?

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

So three pairs remain and I can tell you at this stage Terry and Esther

are just streets ahead of everyone with a score of 0.

Very, very well done. Best of luck to all three pairs.

Our category for Round Two is famous people.

Famous people. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

who's going to go second.

And whoever is first please step up to the podium.

OK, and the question concerns famous couples.

Famous couples. Richard.

On each pass we're going to give you the names of six men

who were part of famous couples. We need you to tell us

the name of the woman they married in the year shown, please.

There's going to be six men on each pass,

we need the name of the women they married in the year shown.

There's going to be 12 to have a go at at home. Good luck.

We're looking for the name of the woman that each of these

famous men married in the year shown on this board.

Here's our first board of six.

I'll read them one more time.

Now then, Esther. I'm going to pick Robert Browning.

Who married poetess Elizabeth Barrett.

Elizabeth Barrett, says Esther.

Elizabeth Barrett for Robert Browning. Let's see if that's right

and if it is let's see how many people knew that answer.

Elizabeth Barrett.

Absolutely right, Esther.

Down it goes. 17. A great score.

APPLAUSE

Terrific answer again, Esther.

Yes, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, very well played. Thanks, Richard.

Now, Danny. Yeah. Danny, how are you feeling about this board?

Anyone standing out there? Not a clue. Not a clue.

Oh, my eye, I do know, actually.

Mike, he's just married Mrs Tindall. Yes! Yes.

OK.

Is that the one you're going to go for? Mike Tindall married...

Mrs Tindall. Mrs Tindall, says Danny.

Let's find out if that's right

and if it is let's see how many of our 100 people said Mrs Tindall.

Oh, Danny, I'm sorry. I didn't have a clue.

You'll know this one, I'm sure,

but you did get it wrong so you scored a maximum of 100 points.

I'm really sorry. Dougie. Hello. This is your board.

Talk us through it, fill in all the blanks.

LAUGHTER

Mike Tindall.

Married Zara Phillips.

Zara Phillips, says Dougie.

Let's see if that's right and if it is

let see how many of our 100 people said Zara Phillips.

It is right.

42. APPLAUSE

42, Dougie.

Well played, Dougie, absolutely right.

Married Zara Phillips, the eldest granddaughter of the Queen.

Let's fill in the rest of this board, shall we? Adolf Hitler?

Eva Braun?

It was Eva Braun. Well played, Harry. Shame that's not in the next board.

It would've scored 49 points, though. Richard Burton? Married?

Elizabeth Taylor. Yep. Would've scored you 86 points.

Humphrey Bogart married? Lauren Bacall.

Lauren Bacall, absolutely, Esther. Would've scored you 29.

Now, John Rolfe. His wife is much more famous than he is.

It wasn't John Smith, and Pocahontas?

Yes, it is Pocahontas!

Pocahontas is the right answer.

Scores 2 points, so very well done if you said that at home.

Good answer. I saw that the other day! OK, good.

LAUGHTER

We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at the scores.

17 the best score of that pass, Esther once again very well done.

Up to 42 where we find Dougie and Harry,

then up to 100, I'm afraid, where we find Danny and Tom for now.

Come back down the line now.

Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

OK, let's put six more famous men on the board, and here they are.

We have got.

I'll read them one more time.

Now remember, we are looking for the name of the women

that each of these men married in the year shown.

Harry, you're looking a little bit puzzled,

but I think that's because you've got a great answer in there.

No, I'm not going to risk it. I'm going to play safe.

Dougie did well on the last round.

I'm going to go Peter Andre, married Katie Price.

Peter Andre married Katie Price. OK, here's your red line.

If you get below that, you're through to the next round.

Let's find out if it's right

and how many people said Katie Price for Peter Andre.

It is right.

It's a high score, Harry.

72 takes your total up to 114.

APPLAUSE

They got married after they met on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here,

that certain people here have been on as well.

Thanks very much indeed. Now, Tom, Danny. There's a lot riding on this.

Harry, Dougie are on 114. You're on 100.

You have to score 13 or less A, to stay in the game

and B, to save some McFly face. I have nothing.

Johnny Cash married... Mrs Cash Machine.

LAUGHTER

Oh, she kept her maiden name! Yeah, she did.

OK, Mrs Cash Machine, says Tom.

Let's see if that's right and if it is,

let's see how many people said it. There's your red line.

It's going to be close!

Let's find out. Is it right?

Just... No, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Tom.

Unfortunately an incorrect answer scores the maximum of 100 points.

But listen, Tom, Danny, you're our newest members of the 200 Club,

which is nice. Welcome. Terry.

Terry, you're through to the head-to-head,

this is the great news. It was possibly not in doubt.

Do you want to talk us through the board and fill in the blanks?

I thought maybe Arthur Miller's missus might be a bit obvious.

So I'm going to go for King Edward VIII,

and Wallis Simpson.

Wallis Simpson, says Terry. No red line as you're already through,

but let's see how many of 100 people said Wallis Simpson. Is it right?

It is of course right.

33 for Wallis Simpson. APPLAUSE

Takes your total up to a nice round 50.

Well played, Terry,

of course renounced the throne to marry Wallis Simpson.

Wallis Simpson would have been a good answer in Round One,

words ending in son. Yeah.

Johnny Cash, Roseanne Carter?

June Carter. So June Carter Cash.

Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash released many albums together,

there are some absolutely brilliant ones. Worth getting a hold of.

Now the rest of the board. Arthur Miller, Terry, who did he marry?

Marilyn Monroe.

That would have scored you 51 points,

that would've been more points. Ed Balls?

Ed Balls is Yvette Cooper. It is Yvette Cooper. 15 points.

And Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha? Queen Victoria!

The wife is more famous than the husband, Queen Victoria, of course.

Would have scored 31 points. A pretty low score.

Yvette Cooper actually the best answer on that board,

very well done if you said that at home. Thanks, Richard.

So at the end of the second round I'm afraid to say that the pair

leaving us with a high score of 200 - good high score, guys -

is Tom and Danny. I'm so sorry.

Dougie and Harry?

Off you go. Shoo. Shoo!

Brilliant having you on the show though, thank you guys

so much for playing. And please come back and play another time.

They'll be back at the end to play a song. Of course!

Not far away. Thanks very much, Tom and Danny.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

But for the remaining two pairs it is now time for the head-to-head.

Congratulations, Terry and Esther.

Dougie and Harry, you are now one step closer to the final

and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at ?6,000.

There it is.

Well, you can confer for this round, so anything could happen.

Best of luck to both pairs.

If you're wondering why Richard and I are wearing pyjamas -

well, pyjamas in my case and a fetching tiger onesie in Richard's -

it is of course for Children in Need

and if you are inspired by the work of Children in Need

and all the things they do and you'd like to donate, please go to

bbc.co.uk/pudsey

or call:

Now, to decide who's going to go through to the final

and play for that money, you're now going to go head-to-head.

This time, as I say, you are allowed to confer

and the first pair to win two questions

will be playing for the jackpot.

Let's play the head-to-head!

OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...

We're going to show you five images now of dolls of celebrities.

Can you identify the celebrities these dolls represent?

Very best of luck to both teams.

Thanks very much indeed.

OK, let's reveal our five dolls and here they are. We have got...

There we are. Five dolls.

Terry and Esther, you played best throughout the show so far,

so you get to go first.

On the grounds of age, I think we'll go for B, Diana Ross.

B, Diana Ross, say Terry and Esther. B, Diana Ross.

Now, Dougie and Harry, do you fancy talking us through the board

and see how many you can name?

A is Justin Bieber, or Dougie...

LAUGHTER

C, we think is Lady Gaga,

D we think is... Kate Middleton. Kate Middleton, possibly.

And E, Michael Jordan.

What are you going to go for?

We're going to go A, Justin Bieber.

A, Justin Bieber,

say Dougie and Harry.

OK, Sir Terry and Esther went for Diana Ross, B.

Let's see if that's right,

and if it is, let's see how many people said Diana Ross.

Is right.

60, though.

Not very good.

That's a high score for Diana Ross there. It is!

Dougie and Harry, you said A, Justin Bieber.

You're pretty sure it's right, but was everyone else?

Let's find out how many people said Justin Bieber for A.

Is right.

Is it going to be 60? Yes, it is. Wow!

45, well done!

APPLAUSE

Turns out that was the right thing to say.

Very well done indeed. After one question you are up 1-0.

Let's go through the rest of the board.

You were toying with going for C, Lady Gaga.

It is Lady Gaga.

Yes, she would have scored you fewer points, actually.

She would have scored you 43.

You were also toying with going with E and you thought it was...?

Michael Jordan? It is Michael Jordan. Even better answer, actually.

Michael Jordan would have scored you 25.

And the best answer on the board is D.

You thought it may be...? Kate Middleton.

Not Kate Middleton, it's a Pointless answer.

It's the Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel.

LAUGHTER

It's an Angela Merkel doll.

That was a Pointless answer.

The clues are all there. She doesn't look anything like that!

Oh, bless her heart.

Thank you very much indeed.

That's great. So, here comes your second question.

We've got to do better, Terry.

Yes, Terry and Esther, you have to win this to stay in the game.

Very best of luck. It's exciting. It concerns...

We're going to show you five ingredients from

a Christmas pudding recipe, but we've only shown you the first letters

of each of the ingredients.

So five ingredients from a Christmas pudding recipe,

what are those ingredients?

We've taken Eliza Acton's Ingoldsby Christmas pudding recipe.

That's the one I always use! Yeah, absolutely.

Good, so let's reveal our five clues to Christmas pudding ingredients,

and here they come. We have got...

I'll read them one last time.

Dougie and Harry, you go first this time.

We're going to go the second one,

which we think is maple syrup?

Maple syrup. Maple syrup...

ESTHER: Yeah! ..Say Dougie and Harry.

They are right, aren't they?

Terry and Esther.

I think that one is chopped peeled, the top one.

And I think the next one is mixed spice, but I'm stuck on the S.

We'll go for mixed spice and we'll really go head-to-head!

You're going to go for mixed spice,

so it's the battle of maple syrup and Mixed spice.

Dougie and Harry have gone for maple syrup, let's see if they were right.

No!

It doesn't necessarily mean you are right either!

No, that's true. Let's just find out. Oh, come on! Let's find out.

MS, is it mixed spice?

Yes, it is! Very well done.

Down it goes to 24. APPLAUSE

Terry and Esther, you are back in the game. Very well done.

After two questions it's 1-1.

I've just thought what S is. Salt. It's not salt.

Two pounds of salt.

LAUGHTER

Merry Christmas, everyone!

LAUGHTER

Suet. It is suet, yeah. 22 points. It's a good answer.

The top one isn't chopped peel, it's candied peel. Oh, wow.

So that was a good escape. Yes, it was.

That would have scored you 13 points.

Brandy, four glasses or brandy. 66 points, a big score.

And eggs down the bottom there, 16 eggs.

And that would have scored 67 points, the biggest score up there.

So candied peel the best answer there. Well done if you said that.

Thanks very much, Richard. Well, it really is head-to-head now.

It's 1-1.

Whoever wins this third and final question goes through to the final

and plays for the jackpot for Children in Need.

OK, this is the third question, and it concerns...

I'm going.

Cricket. We are about to give you five clues about cricket.

The team gives the most obscure answer is going to win

and go through the play for the jackpot round.

So very best of luck, both teams.

OK, thanks very much.

Let's reveal our final clues and here they are.

We have got...

I'll read those one last time.

Terry and Esther, you to go first.

The Proteas is South Africa.

South Africa, says Terry,

for Proteas. Dougie and Harry, talk us through the board.

Right, Geoffrey Boycott played for Yorkshire.

Um...

Michael Vaughan partnered Natalie Lowe

and LBW stands for leg before wicket.

I'm going to go for Geoffrey Boycott played for Yorkshire.

Yorkshire, say Dougie and Harry, as Geoffrey Boycott County.

Let's find out.

Terry and Esther, they said the Proteas are South Africa.

Is that right? And if it is let's see how may people said it.

Is right.

Wow! Oh, good answer!

Well done!

27. Well done!

27.

Now, Dougie and Harry said Geoffrey Boycott played for Yorkshire.

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

Is right.

56.

APPLAUSE

A great answer, but, Terry and Esther, you have won the round,

and after a three questions you're through to the final 2-1.

Very well done indeed!

Unlucky, gents, but it was such a good answer from Terry.

It was very tough for you to beat. I think you knew that one.

If you had said LBW, leg before wicket, even bigger score.

It would have scored you 89 points.

So it wouldn't have helped.

If you said former England captain who partnered Natalie Lowe,

you knew it was...? Michael Vaughan.

If you'd said it you'd now be in the final. No way!

It would have scored 19 points. No!

And of course the best answer up there is the bowler who

Gary Sobers hit for six. Do you know that one? I don't know that, no.

It was Malcolm Nash, of Glamorgan.

Easy! Would have scored you five points. Some of our 100 people knew.

Thanks very much indeed.

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

I'm afraid, Dougie and Harry.

To be honest, for the sake of Children in Need, I think

Terry and Esther have a better chance of winning the money,

so good luck, guys.

APPLAUSE

well said!

Dougie and Harry, don't go too far away,

because you are playing us out at the end.

Lovely having you on the show.

Thank you so much. Really good contestants. Dougie and Harry!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

For Terry and Esther, it's now time for our Pointless final.

Congratulations, Terry and Esther, you fought off all the competition

and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done.

You have a chance to play for the Pointless jackpot

for Children in Need.

And at the end of the show, the jackpot stands...

There it is.

You have done so well.

All you have to do now is win this jackpot for Children in Need.

As always, you kick off this round by choosing a category

And here are the choices you have. OK.

We'll try Hollywood. You are going to go with Hollywood. OK.

Richard, Hollywood it is.

We'll give you three different choices now.

All of them relate to the Hollywood Walk of Fame,

the Hollywood Walk of Fame with all the stars across it. OK.

Can you give us the name of any of these, please?

Choose from any of these three categories. The name of any...

So anyone from any of those three categories

who are on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

This is up to September 2013. Very, very best of luck.

You've been brilliant,

I hope you top it off with this jackpot. OK.

Now, you'll have a minute to come up with three answers.

And to win that jackpot,

all you have to do is find just one pointless answer.

The answers you give can all come from one category or they can be

one from each category, or two from one, it's entirely up to you.

Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.

Your time starts now.

Fictional character on the Hollywood Walk of Fame...

Would be a cartoon character. Mickey Mouse.

Or we have got to find something obscure,

so it could be Popeye or it could be that lady rabbit.

It could be Buzz Lightyear. It could be. Bands, it could be Glenn Miller.

It could be Bugs Bunny. It could be Bugs Bunny. It could... Bands.

It could be Louis Armstrong.

Best actor Oscar winner on the Hollywood... We want an obscure one.

OK. Who was that wonderful little

boy who was in The Sixth Sense?

He is so obscure I can't

remember his name. Um... Best actor.

We should stick with fictional characters.

Because they are more obscure?

No, it's because they are the only ones I know. OK.

OK, let's just continue to think.

You're not in favour of the

Glenn Miller, Louis Armstrong,

band, type thing?

Erm...

Monkees, they wouldn't be,

would they? 10 seconds left. OK.

The Beatles? The Beatles, I don't think they were in Hollywood at all.

Um...

OK. That is your time up.

Let's have three answers from you. All right.

Do you want to take fictional characters?

Let's take a fictional character that we are sure about. OK.

Mickey Mouse will be so obvious. I mean, wonderful. Yeah.

Terry had a good one, what were you going to go for? Buzz Lightyear.

Why not? Why not? There we are. Phew. One down.

We'll have Buzz Lightyear, we'll have Bugs Bunny. And...

Minnie Mouse!

LAUGHTER

Let's be feminist about this. You can have Donald Duck as well.

Donald Duck. Donald Duck. So we have got... Bugs Bunny. Buzz Lightyear.

And Donald Duck. And Donald Duck. There we are.

We haven't got a single woman! OK, there we are.

You never know about Donald. Of those three...

Another duck would know, another duck would be able to tell.

Which is your best shot at a pointless answer?

We think they are all terrible.

I think the best shot would be Buzz Lightyear.

Buzz Lightyear, we will put him last. OK.

Which is your least likely?

Least likely to be pointless would be Donald Duck. Donald Duck.

We will put him first.

OK, let's put those up on the board in that order and here they are.

We have got...

Well, very, very best of luck.

In this case, we are looking entirely at fictional

characters on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

First answer, Donald Duck. You said least likely to be pointless.

Remember, only one of these has to be right

and pointless for you to win that jackpot of ?6,000.

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

It's right.

Donald Duck.

Absolutely correct first time,

the one you thought was least likely to be pointless.

down it goes into the 20s, into the teens, into single figures.

Down it goes. Look at that. Four, brilliant!

And you thought that was your least likely to be pointless.

It wasn't pointless, obviously, it was four, but still that is not bad.

It's not good, though. Unfortunately not a pointless answer,

only two more cracks at the jackpot of ?6,000 for Children in Need.

We are looking for fictional characters on the Hollywood

Walk of Fame.

Let's hope no-one said your next answer, Bugs Bunny,

this has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot

so for ?6,000, let's find out how many people said Bugs Bunny.

It's right. Well, your first answer was Donald Duck, which took you down

to four. Bugs Bunny...

Zipping you down through the 20s. Through the teens.

Into single figures again, down it goes,

oh, four again!

APPLAUSE

OK, so not a pointless answer, but listen,

Donald Duck, Bugs Bunny, two very, very famous, iconic figures.

It's those same four people, you know. Probably.

But we now move into a different realm, the realm of Buzz Lightyear.

A much more recent character.

If this is right, there is every chance it might go all the way down.

Buzz Lightyear. Let's find out, is that right for ?6,000?

Might it be a pointless answer? Oh, who knows? Who knows?

No! No, no, no, I'm sorry.

APPLAUSE

Oh, I am sorry. YOU'RE sorry?

If you had told me, Richard, in your tiger skin that Glenn Miller

was a pointless answer, I shall come over and I shall...give you a kiss.

Aw. Oh, don't do that. Unfortunately,

you didn't manage to find the all-important pointless answer,

which means you don't win today's jackpot of ?6,000

for Children in Need.

However, as it is a special charity edition, we are

going to donate ?2,500 on your behalf.

We have really enjoyed having you on the show. It's been wonderful.

And you get to take home a Pointless trophy. So there we are.

It's win-win. Wonderful.

Richard. Well, haven't they been brilliant throughout?

Played so well. Getting a double pointless in the first round

is so rare on the show, terrific stuff.

There are some big names and all of these lists.

There are some big names. Let's take a look.

The bands on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,

let's take a look at a few of them.

You could have had Boyz II Men, Motley Crue,

The Four Tops, The Pointer Sisters,

all would have won you the money.

Glenn Miller band, Louis Armstrong band, no.

Glenn Miller has got his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,

but not the Glenn Miller band.

Fictional characters....

Also Woody Woodpecker.

There are some big, big names on this last list

and there's lots of them as well.

Amongst the actors who would have been pointless...

You could also have had Alec Guinness, Ben Kingsley,

Burt Lancaster, David Niven, Gregory Peck, James Cagney.

Lots of pointless answers.

Very well done if you got those at home. Thank you for playing.

I hope everyone is going to give all evening to Children in Need. Thanks.

Fabulous. Thanks, Richard.

Well, unfortunately we do have to say goodbye to you, Terry

and Esther, but we really have loved having you on the show.

Thank you so much for playing. You played so well. Terry and Esther.

CHEERING

Join us next time

when we'll put more obscure knowledge to the test.

Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard. Goodbye.

And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.

Playing us out this evening with their brand-new single, it is McFly.

CHEERING

# I was alone and my stomach was twisted

# But I can get up now the dark clouds have lifted

Back in the old life before you existed

# I couldn't see right My windows were misted

# Said one word, made me feel much better

# Starts with L and it's got four letters

# Things are looking up, looking up, hey!

# There's magic everywhere you go

# Strangers stop to say hello

# Hello, hello, hello

# So turn it up, turn it up, hey!

# As loud as you can make it go

# Cos love is on the radio

# Now that I've found you my heart's beating faster

# We could be happy forever and after

# We could be married like Mrs and Mr

# We'll have a son and we'll give him a sister

That's right!

# Just one thing holding us together

# A four-letter word and it lasts forever

# Things are looking up, looking up, hey!

# There's magic everywhere you go

# Strangers stop to say hello

# Hello, hello, hello

# So turn it up, turn it up, hey!

# As loud as you can make it go

# Cos love is on the radio

# Love is on the radio

# Love is on the radio Turn it up, turn it up

# Love is on the radio

# Funny one thing led to another

# You came along, filled my days with colour

# And it's been an everlasting summer

# Since we found each other

# Things are looking up, looking up, hey!

# There's magic everywhere you go

# Strangers stop to say hello

# Hello, hello, hello

# So turn it up, turn it up, hey!

# As loud as you can make it go

# Playing till your speakers blow

# And listen till your ears explode

# Oh, cos love is on the radio!

CHEERING

Thank you so much.
