0:00:22 > 0:00:26CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Thanks very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:28 > 0:00:32And a very warm welcome to a special celebrity edition of Pointless,
0:00:32 > 0:00:36the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test. Let's meet our Pointless celebrities.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41APPLAUSE
0:00:41 > 0:00:44LAUGHTER
0:00:44 > 0:00:47First up, we welcome Michael Fish and Sian Lloyd.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:52 > 0:00:57Two of our country's best-loved weather forecasters. Lovely to have you on the show.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00If weather comes up and you get it wrong, ooh!
0:01:00 > 0:01:05- Ooh!- Ooh!- Because that's never happened before, has it, Michael? - Never happened, has it?!- No!
0:01:05 > 0:01:09- Indeed. So weather, Sian, obviously. - Yes.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12UK geography, I'm guessing, also pretty good.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16- To be honest, weather's more about maths and computing.- Yeah, physics. - Especially nowadays. Physics.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- It's not really about... - Don't tempt them to give us difficult questions!
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Chemical equations and all that. None of this geography malarkey.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Where does that come into it, chemistry?- Theoretical physics, the lot. We're terribly brainy.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- We're way too brainy for this show! - LAUGHTER
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- I'm going home now! - Fortunately, Sian, round one is about theoretical physics.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38So we'll have a chance to find out. LAUGHTER
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Anything you'd hate to see come up, Michael?- I'm a bit of a philistine.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45So anything to do with books and reading and films and...
0:01:45 > 0:01:51- You know, life.- Approaching weather systems coming up from the south. - Hurricanes even, that sort of thing.
0:01:51 > 0:01:56Well, Michael and Sian, it's lovely having you on the show. Very best of luck. Sian and Michael, everyone!
0:01:56 > 0:02:00CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:00 > 0:02:03And next we welcome Lee Dixon and Mark Lawrenson. Fabulous!
0:02:03 > 0:02:07LOUD CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Very, very warm welcome to the show, gentlemen.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17We know you as Match Of The Day pundits, both with hugely successful football careers behind you.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22You must know, between you, pretty much everything there is to know about football.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- N...No. Alan Hansen knows everything. Us two, we don't know anything.- Oh, really?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Even if it's wrong, he knows.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30HE LAUGHS
0:02:30 > 0:02:35- But he's not here, so there we are. So you are our second best... - Oh, thanks!- Brilliant! Thanks.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- ..To Alan Hansen.- It's been said before.- Yeah, there you are.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Jasper Carrott should do this programme. He'd be great.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- Actually...- Do you know what? That's actually a very good idea.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- He would be terrific.- Yeah. - Are there any other areas though?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- Are you good on general knowledge, Mark?- No.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54- Do you collect information though? Are you good at remembering things?- What's your name?
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- Yeah. Jasper Carrott. - Of course, yeah!
0:02:58 > 0:03:01That's two mentions he's got already. He's popular, see?
0:03:01 > 0:03:07OK. Well, listen, very, very best of luck. It's great to have you here. Thanks very much, Lee and Mark.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10APPLAUSE
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Next, we welcome Linda Robson and Jenny Eclair.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Why are we clapping ourselves?
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- You can. You can do that. - We can clap ourselves.- We're great!
0:03:23 > 0:03:24Yes!
0:03:24 > 0:03:25LAUGHTER
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- You've been on our screens for many years.- Many years?! - Dearly loved as actresses...
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Yeah! 40-something years I've been in the business. 45 years.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34- That's all right, many. - A long time, yeah.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- But that's a brilliant thing. - Some say too long.- Never!
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- Who would say that?- Jenny.- I would.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43But you've been actresses, presenters...
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- Jenny, obviously, a comedienne. - Gymnast, super-model.- Exactly.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- I was just getting to that. Jenny, what's going to be brilliant for you?- Erm...
0:03:51 > 0:03:56I don't know. Sometimes I think I'm quite bright and then I prove that I'm not.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00I really don't know. It's all down to luck with general knowledge.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- You either know it, or you don't. - Well, it is lovely having you here. Linda and Jenny!
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09APPLAUSE
0:04:12 > 0:04:16And, finally, we're got Camilla Dallerup and Kevin Sacre.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:04:24 > 0:04:30Now, obviously, Camilla, we know you from Strictly Come Dancing and Kevin as Jake Dean in Hollyoaks.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35- And you are our only married couple. - Mmm!- Yes.- Is that going to be an advantage for you?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Probably not.- We'll see if we're still married at the end!
0:04:38 > 0:04:40LAUGHTER
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Have you performed together in a team...? I'm mean, obviously....
0:04:44 > 0:04:45LAUGHTER
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Sorry!- Do you want to rephrase that slightly?- Yeah.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Let me put that another way. Have you been on a quiz team ever before?
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- No.- No, we haven't, actually. - We've been on stage together. - Of course, you have!
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- You're on stage at the moment, aren't you?- Yes.- In Calendar Girls. - Touring Calendar Girls.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Clearly, stage, theatre, music, these sorts of things are going to be good for you.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- What else would be great for you? - Nothing else!
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Anything that I know the answer to would be good, really.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Which probably isn't a lot.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18Listen, it's lovely to have you both here. Thanks so much for joining us. Camilla and Kevin!
0:05:18 > 0:05:21APPLAUSE
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Well, we look forward to discovering all your hidden knowledge throughout the show as it goes along.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27There's only one person left to introduce.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Taking obscurity to another level
0:05:30 > 0:05:33and occasionally reminding us of Another Level...
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- LAUGHTER - My Pointless friend is Richard.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Hiya.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:05:42 > 0:05:46I say, reminding us OF Another Level. I think I mean ABOUT Another Level.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- I don't think anyone other than you and I know who Another Level are.- Wow!
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- They were a boy band... - We do! We do! Pop group!- Yeah.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- Absolutely. With...?- Dane...? - Dane Bowers.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- There we go!- There we go! There's obscurity for you and we haven't even started!
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- They've won!- Wow, we've got off to an absolutely storming start.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Yeah, brilliant!
0:06:06 > 0:06:11I went along the line earlier and every pair said they know nothing about anything.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14So we're in for a very, very entertaining 45 minutes, I suspect.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- I'm excited to have Lee and Mark on. - Oh, yeah!- It's good, isn't it?
0:06:17 > 0:06:21I'm hoping at half time, you'll sit round the sofa and say how we're doing.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- We'll be gone by then.- No, after the second round, they'll still be here.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29- We've got a cab booked in about half an hour!- OK, there we are. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show,
0:06:33 > 0:06:36but we are looking for the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39To stay in the game and to be in with a chance of winning our jackpot,
0:06:39 > 0:06:42all our celebrities need to do is score as few points as they can.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45What everyone's trying to do is to find a pointless answer.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47That's an answer that none of our 100 people knew.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56Now as today's show is a celebrity special, each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity,
0:06:56 > 0:07:00we start off with a jackpot of...
0:07:00 > 0:07:02There we are.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04APPLAUSE
0:07:04 > 0:07:07OK, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18OK, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26If you give me an incorrect answer, you will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31So do try to avoid those, if you can. OK, our first category is...
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- KEVIN:- Oh, no!
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going second.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41And, whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:07:48 > 0:07:52as many teams at the 2011 Rugby World Cup as they could.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Teams at the 2011 Rugby World Cup. Richard.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00Nothing to add there. Simply looking for any team that played at the Rugby World Cup in 2011.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03I say "simply".
0:08:03 > 0:08:04LAUGHTER
0:08:04 > 0:08:10OK. Now then, Michael and Sian, you all drew lots before the show and YOU get to go first.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Thank you.- So there we are. Michael.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Er, Fiji.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Fiji. Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said Fiji.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22It's right!
0:08:26 > 0:08:2724!
0:08:27 > 0:08:30APPLAUSE
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Not bad. 24. - Well played, Michael.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Good, solid start there. Knocked out in the group stages.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44So then, Mark, what's the most obscure team you can think of
0:08:44 > 0:08:47that played in the Rugby World Cup 2011?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- I'm going to go USA.- OK.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said the USA.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Of course, it's right.
0:09:02 > 0:09:0314!
0:09:03 > 0:09:05APPLAUSE
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Not bad at all. 14 for the USA.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Yeah, I think the boy Lawro's done well there. He's seen an opportunity and he's taken it.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17I think Dicko is going to be delighted with him, don't you?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- I am absolutely... - Where's she gone?
0:09:20 > 0:09:21- LINDA:- Come back!
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- JENNY:- I don't know!
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- I don't like this game any more! - You have to guess!
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Otherwise you'll get 100 points. So just guess!- I'm going to guess.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34- That's fine! Quite often guessing will get a lower score than...- OK.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- Mm, I'm lying.- OK.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38LAUGHTER
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- I'm going now?- If you like.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42LAUGHTER
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- Trinidad and Tobago. - Trinidad and Tobago!
0:09:45 > 0:09:48So, Jenny, let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many of our 100 people
0:09:48 > 0:09:51said Trinidad and Tobago.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Oh!
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- I'm so sorry, Linda. - It's OK, Jenny.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01I think you got confused with rugby and bobsleighing.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06Unfortunately, that's an incorrect answer, Jenny, which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- Does that mean we're winning? - No! We're losing. - You know, in a kinda way...
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Camilla.- Yes, thank you. I can't wait for this!
0:10:13 > 0:10:15This plays right into your hands.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Tonga.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19OK, Tonga, says Camilla.
0:10:19 > 0:10:25Kevin's impressed. Let's see if Tonga's right and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said Tonga.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29It is right.
0:10:34 > 0:10:3510!
0:10:35 > 0:10:38APPLAUSE
0:10:38 > 0:10:4210 for Tonga! The best score of the pass.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Richard.- Yeah, that's a terrific score, Camilla. Very well played.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- They got knocked out in the group stages as well.- OK.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52We're halfway through the round, so let's look at the scores. Camilla, such a good answer!
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Camilla and Kevin looking very strong on just 10.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Then up to 14, where we find Mark and Lee.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Then up to 24, where we find Michael and Sian.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Then a bit of a journey up to 100, where we find Jenny and Linda.
0:11:04 > 0:11:10So, Linda, we need a nice obscure answer from you in the next pass. Very good luck with that.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14OK, back down the line. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:11:17 > 0:11:21So we are looking for 2011 Rugby World Cup teams.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26- Kevin, how well did Camilla do there?- She did very well.- Amazing!
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- That was my answer, unfortunately.- Ah!
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Well, listen, you're on 10. The high scorers are Linda and Jenny on 100.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38A score of 89 for you at this stage would ensure you a place in the next round.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43Er, I will play it safe then and say Argentina.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Argentina. There is your red line. Below that, you're through.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50So let's see, Argentina, is it right?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53It is! And you're through.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Very well done indeed! Down it goes.
0:11:56 > 0:11:5727!
0:11:57 > 0:12:01It's a great score, Kevin! Takes your total up to 37.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03APPLAUSE
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Argentina, Richard?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Well played, Kevin. The Pumas, Argentina - got through to the quarter-finals.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Now then, Linda.- Oh, dear!- I know!
0:12:11 > 0:12:13You're the high scorers on 100.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17- All we need is a really nice low score.- OK.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Poland.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Why is that funny?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23LAUGHTER
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Is that bad? Obviously, it is.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Poland, says Linda.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33Let's see if that's correct and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said Poland.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Oh, no! - Oh, brilliant! We're the same!
0:12:39 > 0:12:42I'm really glad! Oh! Oh!
0:12:42 > 0:12:47Oh, bad luck! I'm afraid Poland's an incorrect answer. That scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52And I'm afraid it takes your total up to a noble...200.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- Richard.- Yeah, it's such a shame it isn't the 2007 World Cup,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58because then the final was between Poland and Trinidad and Tobago.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- LAUGHTER - Yeah, and that was a great match!
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- Yeah!- And Poland won.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Thanks very much, Richard.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09So, Lee, the high scorers on 200.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Linda and Jenny - they're out of your reach. Even if you score 100,
0:13:12 > 0:13:15you'll never overtake them. You're through to the next round.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17But try!
0:13:17 > 0:13:22Remember we are looking for teams that played in the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Western Samoa.
0:13:23 > 0:13:28Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Western Samoa.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31Ah!
0:13:33 > 0:13:35An incorrect answer, as it turns out.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41That takes your total up to 114.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44So then, Sian, the last answer of the round.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47You're on 24. It doesn't matter if you say anything wrong.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51You still won't overtake the high score of Linda and Jenny.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- That's such a relief! Thanks, girls! - Most games it's good to have the high score, innit?
0:13:55 > 0:14:00Um, OK... So I'll go for something like Japan.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- Japan. Did you watch the World Cup at all? - Yeah, lots. Come on, I'm Welsh!
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- Stupid question.- Pointless question!
0:14:06 > 0:14:09LAUGHTER
0:14:09 > 0:14:10- MICHAEL:- Oh!
0:14:10 > 0:14:17OK, Japan, says Sian. Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said Japan.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21It's right.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Down it goes! Still going down. 13!
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Ah!
0:14:27 > 0:14:28APPLAUSE
0:14:28 > 0:14:34- Cracking answer from Sian. 13 takes your total up to 37. - I think we won!- Japan, Richard.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Great answer, Sian. Very well played, again. Got knocked out in the group stages.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Lee, as I think you know already, they played as Samoa rather than Western Samoa.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- So we had to accept that. - Bit harsh, but I'll accept it.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Has no-one said to you never ever talk back to the referee?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50BOTH: No!
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- How often do they change their decision?- George Graham told us the exact opposite.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59There's no pointless answers here, actually, but there's a few low scorers. Let's take a look.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Very well done if you said any of these.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05They were the best answers you could have given.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08But I think, by and large, fantastic answers from everybody.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10LINDA AND JENNY LAUGH
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Sort of.
0:15:12 > 0:15:17Let's take a look at the top scorers. These are the ones most of our 100 people said.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27- 97!- 97 points. Almost as bad as a wrong answer.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31Thank you, Richard. So at the end of the first round, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:15:31 > 0:15:34I'm afraid, Linda and Jenny. I'm sorry.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38We've really had a lovely time. Thank you very much indeed. It wasn't really our category.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43Well, it's been lovely having you, but Linda and Jenny, brilliant contestants!
0:15:43 > 0:15:46CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:15:46 > 0:15:49But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Now, obviously, there's only room for two celebrity pairs in our head-to-head round,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02so one of the teams in front of me will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07Our category for Round Two is...
0:16:07 > 0:16:11People. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:16 > 0:16:22OK, our question for Round Two concerns...
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Famous Davids, Richard.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27On each pass we're going to give you six descriptions of famous people
0:16:27 > 0:16:29all of whom share the first name David.
0:16:29 > 0:16:35Give us a nice obscure answer, you'll score fewer points. Give an incorrect answer, you'll score 100 points.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Two passes. There's 12 Davids to guess at home.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43OK, thanks very much, Richard. So we are looking for famous Davids.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45And here are the clues.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I'll read all those out again.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24OK, so there are our six Davids.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27All you need to do is find one that you think
0:17:27 > 0:17:32the fewest of our 100 people would have known from that clue. Michael.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37I'm hoping that the chap in the box
0:17:37 > 0:17:40was called David Hasselhoff, or something like that.
0:17:40 > 0:17:46OK, Michael, you are saying the magician who spent 44 days in a glass box was David Hasselhoff?
0:17:46 > 0:17:51Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people knew that answer, David Hasselhoff.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Ooh!
0:17:54 > 0:18:00Bad luck, Michael! Although I would like to see David Hasselhoff...
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- LAUGHTER - ..suspended in a glass box.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Bad luck. That's an incorrect answer, which means you score the maximum of 100 points. I'm sorry.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12We're looking for famous Davids. Lawro, what would you like to say?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Which David do you want to pick?
0:18:14 > 0:18:19I'm going to go for the David who claimed to be the son of God in a Wogan interview.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Actually, used to work for the BBC on Grandstand.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- David Icke. - David Icke, you're saying.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29Let's see if David Icke is indeed the person who claimed to be the son of God in a Wogan interview.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33David Icke. Is that right? How many people knew that answer?
0:18:33 > 0:18:34It is right.
0:18:39 > 0:18:4022!
0:18:40 > 0:18:42APPLAUSE
0:18:42 > 0:18:44That'll do! 22!
0:18:44 > 0:18:47APPLAUSE
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Well played, Lawro. Very good answer. Can you believe David Ike, only 22 points?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Well, yeah. He's lucky. People have forgotten about it.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- Yeah, I guess so.- Er, Camilla.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59You're the last person to have this batch of Davids.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03- Yes.- What do you think of them? - I know the magician, obviously! I've seen him.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07But I cannot think of the surname at this minute, which is very frustrating.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Don't know, really. Director of Brief Encounter?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Erm...
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Mm... David Charles?
0:19:16 > 0:19:20David Charles, you are saying, the director of Brief Encounter, David Charles, says Camilla.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25Lets see if that's right and, if it is, how many of our 100 people knew that answer.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28Ooh!
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Bad luck, Camilla!
0:19:30 > 0:19:35That's an incorrect answer, which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:19:35 > 0:19:41Yes, the director of Brief Encounter was actually the best answer on the board, 7 points for David Lean.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Camilla, you know the answer to the top one.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48- David Cameron.- David Cameron, absolutely right. How many people do you think got that right?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- It's going to be depressing, isn't it?- It's not great news, certainly.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- Erm...- 87 people.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58So 13 out of that 100 didn't know the Prime Minister?
0:19:58 > 0:20:02- And all 13 of them knew David Icke. All 13.- Personally?
0:20:02 > 0:20:07- Let's look at the rest. Michael, the magician who spent the days in the box was David Blane.- Ah!
0:20:07 > 0:20:10The American magician. 69 points.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- The musician, creator of Ziggy Stardust, Xander?- David Bowie.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16David Bowie, absolutely. Would have scored 57.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21- And the former heavyweight boxing champion, born 1980?- I don't know. - Lawro, Lee, do you know that one?
0:20:21 > 0:20:26- Dave Boy Green, is it? I don't know. - No, born 1980, so... - Ah no, it's heavyweight, sorry.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- No idea.- Oh, born 1980! - ..Quite a recent one. David Haye.
0:20:29 > 0:20:35Would have scored 14 points. So David Lean the best answer. Well done if you got all the Davids.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Thank you very much, Richard. We're halfway through the round, so let's look at the scores.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Well, only two scores between the three teams. Mark and Lee looking strong on 22.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Then Camilla and Kevin, Michael and Sian on 100 there.
0:20:47 > 0:20:52Sian and Kevin, a tussle between you to decide who stays with us and who leaves us at the end of the round.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56OK, we're back down the line. Can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:20:59 > 0:21:03We're going to put six more Davids on the board and here they come.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22I'll read them all one more time.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39There we are. Remember, we're looking for the famous Davids described behind me.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Obviously, you're trying to find the one that fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Kevin. You're the high scorers, joint high scorers.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49It's between you and Sian.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54- Yes.- A really nice obscure David. How many Davids on that board do you know?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56One, two...
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Three.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03I'm trying to work out. The obvious one is not to go for the top one.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07I'm going to go for the TV naturalist, brother of actor-director Richard,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10and go for David Attenborough.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12David Attenborough, you are saying.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Let's see if it's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18There's no red line for you, cos you're the joint high scorers.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20David Attenborough.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23It's right!
0:22:23 > 0:22:2472!
0:22:24 > 0:22:28APPLAUSE
0:22:28 > 0:22:3172 for David Attenborough.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Yeah, damage limitation there, Kevin. It might have been a good tactic when the round comes to an end.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38He also was the first-ever controller of BBC2.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- We used to be on BBC2, didn't we? Do you remember that?- Yeah.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Back in the old days. I suspect we will be again one day.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46LAUGHTER
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Very good! Thanks a lot for that, Richard.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Now, Lee and Mark. The good news is you're through whatever happens,
0:22:52 > 0:22:55even if you score 100 points, which I don't think you will,
0:22:55 > 0:22:57you're in the head-to-head round.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00So then, Lee, what are you thinking?
0:23:02 > 0:23:05I'll go for the author of The Moon's A Balloon.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- David Niven.- David Niven.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Well said. Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Again, no red line for you because you're through whatever happens.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15David Niven.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Very much so.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Very well done. 11 points!
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Cracking answer, Lee.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Takes your total up to 33.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31David Niven.
0:23:31 > 0:23:37- Great answer, Lee. Very well played. Hansen would have got 100 on this round.- He'd have been hopeless!
0:23:37 > 0:23:41I tell you how I knew that. My mum used to have that book by her bed every single night.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46She never read it. It was just sort of an ornament, always on the side of her bed. I'll never forget that.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50- It's a very funny book, actually. - Is it? I've not read it. - It's brilliant.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Anyway, thank you very much. The Moon's A Balloon, David Niven.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Now then, Sian, we have a match on here. Kevin and Camilla on 172.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00You are on 100.
0:24:00 > 0:24:06A score of 71 or less will see you through to the head-to-head. How's that board looking behind me?
0:24:06 > 0:24:11It's looking good. And I knew the author of the Moon's A Balloon, of course. Thank you so much, Lee(!)
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Mr Sportsman!
0:24:13 > 0:24:15LAUGHTER
0:24:15 > 0:24:18So I'm thinking people are going to know the Labour Home Secretary one.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21They're going to know Golden Balls.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26They're going to know the Hoff. So I'm going to have to go for the English painter, aren't I?
0:24:26 > 0:24:30And I shall go for David Hockney.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34David Hockney, says Sian. Here's your red line. You have a red line.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39It's quite nice and high. Below that red line, with David Hockney, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43Let's see if it's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said David Hockney.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48It is right! You ARE through!
0:24:51 > 0:24:527!
0:24:52 > 0:24:54APPLAUSE
0:24:54 > 0:24:59It's a great answer, Sian. 7! Takes your total up to 107.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Well done, Sian. It's the best answer on the board, actually.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Closely followed by Lee's David Niven.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08You'd have been very, very safe with the Labour Home Secretary as well.
0:25:08 > 0:25:13Our David Cameron response should have taught you not that many people know Labour's Home Secretary 2001-4.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15It was David Blunkett. Would have scored you 17.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19The footballer, nicknamed "Golden Balls", good news for Cameron.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- Fewer people knew it was David Beckham.- Really?
0:25:21 > 0:25:24It would have scored you 85. Now, Michael...
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Do you know the David who's nicknamed The Hoff?
0:25:26 > 0:25:30I could tell what the next board was going to be. I was answering this question instead.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Ah, you were sort of doing tomorrow's weather.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36- What, like the Two Ronnies? - It was a forecast answer.- Yeah!
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Well, it was very accurate. Yeah, David Hasselhoff.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44- That would have scored 83. - That was your man!- Yeah. I knew it was there somewhere.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Thank you very much, Richard. So at the end of Round Two, the losing celebrity pair
0:25:47 > 0:25:51with the highest score - I'm afraid it's Kevin and Camilla.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- AUDIENCE: Aah! - Dear, oh dear, oh dear!
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Yours was tough. Your board was tough, wasn't it, Kevin?
0:25:57 > 0:26:01You know what, I wanted to go for Blunkett, but I couldn't remember if it was Blunkett or Plunkett!
0:26:01 > 0:26:05That's terrible, isn't it? That's really bad, so yeah.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09- But there we go. - Oh well, never mind.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Kevin and Camilla, it's been lovely having you on the show. Thank you so much for playing. Excellent!
0:26:13 > 0:26:15APPLAUSE
0:26:15 > 0:26:21But for the remaining pairs, things are about to get even more exciting now, as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30Congratulations, Michael and Sian, Lee and Mark.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35You are now only one round away from the final and a chance to play for the jackpot which stands at...
0:26:37 > 0:26:39WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Now, obviously, only one pair can play for that money.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46To decide which pair it's going to be, you are now going head-to-head.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49For each question, you'll be shown five options on the board.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Each pair needs to give just one answer, but you are now allowed to confer.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56All you have to do is score less than the other pair and you'll win that question.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01The first pair to win two questions, will be playing for the jackpot. Let's play head-to-head.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Oh! Here comes your first question.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12It concerns...
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Great(!)
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- Ooh!- Actors who have played Dracula, Richard.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21For this question we're going to show you five photographs of actors playing Dracula.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24We've shown these to our 100 people as well.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27We need you to name the most obscure, please. Best of luck.
0:27:27 > 0:27:32OK. Thanks, Richard. Let's reveal our five actors who've played Dracula and here they come.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34We have got...
0:27:51 > 0:27:55- In fact, playing Dracula, at the time of the pictures, which is nice.- Nice, isn't it?
0:27:55 > 0:28:00Michael and Sian, you've scored the lowest throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- OK, go for your choice.- OK.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05We're not great on this, I have to say.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09I'm thinking "D" might be Peter Cushing.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12- "D" - Peter Cushing...- I think so.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14..Say Sian and Michael.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18Lee and Mark, the board is yours. You can talk us through all of them.
0:28:18 > 0:28:23Pick which one you want to submit. You can go for "D", if you think that's an incorrect guess.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27- Go we'll go "D" - Christopher Lee. - "D" - Christopher Lee.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30So, Michael and Sian thought "D" was Peter Cushing.
0:28:30 > 0:28:35Let's see that's right and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Peter Cushing for "D".
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Oooh!
0:28:39 > 0:28:43An incorrect answer. Lee and Mark have come in on "D"
0:28:43 > 0:28:46and said Christopher Lee. Christopher Lee - "D". Is that right?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Mark, it's right! That's all it had to be.
0:28:52 > 0:28:5546, it happens to score.
0:28:55 > 0:28:56APPLAUSE
0:28:56 > 0:29:02But it was right, that was the main thing. Which means Lee and Mark are up 1-0. Richard.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06Well played, Lee and Mark. That still is from the Satanic Rites Of Dracula.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09- He's Nielsen, isn't he, "E"?- He is.
0:29:09 > 0:29:14- We couldn't remember his Christian name.- It's Leslie Nielsen. - Leslie Nielsen!!- Of course!
0:29:14 > 0:29:19That would have scored you 25 points, from Dracula: Dead And Loving It.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23Now "A" is a Pointless answer. He's an actor who's considerably more famous now than in this,
0:29:23 > 0:29:27- which is Dracula 2000. Do you recognise him at all?- No.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31- Gerard Butler.- Oh, right! - Gerard Butler, pointless answer.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34"B" is Frank Langella.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Played the role on Broadway.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Would have scored you 3 points.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40C is Bela Lugosi.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Bela Lugosi, whose life was dominated by Dracula.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45- He was buried in his Dracula cape. - Was he?
0:29:45 > 0:29:49- Bela Lugosi.- Lee's mum's got his book at home!- Me dad's got his book!
0:29:50 > 0:29:5518 points for Bela Lugosi and we've seen Christopher Lee, 46, and Leslie Nielsen, 25.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59Thank you very much, Richard. So here comes your second question, Michael and Sian.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02You need to win this question to stay in the game.
0:30:02 > 0:30:07No pressure. Here it comes. It concerns...
0:30:07 > 0:30:10New York City, Richard.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14On this question we're going to give you five clues to facts about New York City.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Can you give us the most obscure fact up there, please?
0:30:17 > 0:30:23OK, here come our five clues to facts about New York City. And we¹ve got...
0:30:41 > 0:30:42I'll read those all one more time.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03So then, Lee and Mark, you go first this time.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Obviously, we want the last popular answer.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09The most obscure answer.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11- Who renamed New York?- Don't know.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13THEY CONFER
0:31:13 > 0:31:17We're going to go with the major league baseball team based in the Bronx.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19We think it's New York Yankees.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22New York Yankees, say Lee and Mark,
0:31:22 > 0:31:25for the major league baseball team based in the Bronx.
0:31:25 > 0:31:30- Michael and Sian.- We're going... - You have to win this point, remember.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34Yeah, the pressure's on. We're fully aware of that.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37- LAUGHTER - We're used to it.
0:31:37 > 0:31:42We're going after the previously named after this European city.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44- New Amsterdam.- Amsterdam.
0:31:44 > 0:31:49Amsterdam, you are saying. So we have the New York Yankees and we have Amsterdam.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52If Lee and Mark win this one, they are through to the final.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56In the order they were given, Lee and Mark said the New York Yankees
0:31:56 > 0:32:00for the major league baseball team based in the Bronx.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07It's right!
0:32:09 > 0:32:11- SIAN:- Oh, no!
0:32:11 > 0:32:1216!
0:32:12 > 0:32:13APPLAUSE
0:32:13 > 0:32:16No, we won't beat that!
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- We'll never beat that.- 16!
0:32:19 > 0:32:22We thought that would be high.
0:32:22 > 0:32:28Michael and Sian have said that the European city after which New York was renamed was Amsterdam.
0:32:28 > 0:32:33Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it. Will it beat 16?
0:32:35 > 0:32:36It's right!
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Now how far down's it going to go?
0:32:39 > 0:32:42It's going to be close. Oooh! 26!
0:32:42 > 0:32:44APPLAUSE
0:32:44 > 0:32:5026! It's a great answer, but it doesn't beat the New York Yankees.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54Which means after only two questions, Lee and Mark are through to the final, 2-0.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56- Richard.- Yeah, it never rains but it pours.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00Sorry about that. There are a couple of answers up there that would have won you the point.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03- Richard, was the borough Queens? - It was Queens, yeah.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07- What was that?- That was 13 points.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09So that would have beaten you.
0:33:09 > 0:33:14Renamed New York during the reign of this Stuart king was Charles II.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Named it after his younger brother, the Duke of York. That was 2 points.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21So very well done if you knew that. And the airport, of course, is JFK.
0:33:21 > 0:33:27John F Kennedy airport, but that would only have scored you 80 points. Very well played, guys.
0:33:27 > 0:33:32Thank you very much, Richard. So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head are Michael and Sian.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33ALL: Aaah!
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Thank you.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- Pretty good performance. Actually, Peter Cushing let you down.- It was.
0:33:38 > 0:33:44- Peter Cushing. Yes, your Draculas could have been better.- Mm. - Yeah, could do better on vampires.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47- But otherwise... - I work with plenty of them, too!
0:33:47 > 0:33:49LAUGHTER
0:33:49 > 0:33:53That's a good point! Yeah. Well, I'm sorry we have to say goodbye.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57It would have been fabulous to see you in the final, but that's the end of the road for Michael and Sian.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Excellent contestants! Thank you so much.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:34:01 > 0:34:05But for Lee and Mark, it's now time for our Pointless Final.
0:34:09 > 0:34:14Well, congratulations, Lee and Mark. You fought off all the competition
0:34:14 > 0:34:16and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25- AUDIENCE: Woooh! - Exactly!
0:34:25 > 0:34:26LAUGHTER
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- They've obviously seen it!- Exactly. - Do we get one each?
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah!
0:34:31 > 0:34:35You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot for your nominated charities.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39Now at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:34:39 > 0:34:44CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:34:44 > 0:34:49- How do you feel it's gone, Lee? - The second half is definitely going to be better than the first half.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52- We're warmed up.- Yep!- Ready to go. - Any high points, Mark?- No!
0:34:52 > 0:34:54LAUGHTER
0:34:54 > 0:35:00OK! Well, the rules are very simple. To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02We've had no pointless answers today.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05You only have to find one now and you'll leave with that money.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08So you've got to choose a category from these five options.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10They are...
0:35:16 > 0:35:18- Oh!- Ouch!
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- Rock Music - not great.- No.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24- Magazine Awards.- No.
0:35:24 > 0:35:30- Winter Olympics, not great.- We should really lean towards cities, cos we'll have been to a few.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33- It doesn't necessarily follow, obviously.- Let's do that.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35- Cities it is?- Yeah.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39OK, here comes your question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:35:39 > 0:35:44as many European capital cities south of London as they could.
0:35:44 > 0:35:49- Richard.- You couldn't have better experience for this question than having travelled Europe
0:35:49 > 0:35:53with Arsenal and Liverpool in the '80s and '90s.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57We're looking for the capital city of any country which is wholly, or partly, in Europe.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59The capital has to be south of London, please.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03As always, by country, we mean a sovereign state that's a member of the UN.
0:36:03 > 0:36:09OK, thank you very much. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12All you need is for just one of those answers to pointless
0:36:12 > 0:36:16and you will win that jackpot of £2,500 for your nominated charity.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- Are you ready?- No.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:23 > 0:36:29- Right, got to go Lisbon.- Mm. - That's quite obscure.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32- Paris, everyone will know Paris. - I know what you said, but it's in the Champions League...
0:36:32 > 0:36:38- I don't think we'll get that.- We're doing Champions League grounds now. - We're trying, but it's not easy.
0:36:38 > 0:36:43- Erm, is Greece in Europe? Yeah, Greece is in Europe.- Yeah.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46- What's the capital of Greece? - Athens.- Yeah. I think that's...
0:36:48 > 0:36:50- Erm...?- And another. - You've got 30 seconds yet!
0:36:50 > 0:36:54- I know.- Plenty of time.- Athens, Lisbon. What else is in there?
0:36:54 > 0:36:58- And...?- Erm, Greece. Turkey.
0:36:58 > 0:37:03- Malta.- Yeah, yeah!- What's the capital of Malta?- Valletta.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05- Yeah?- Yeah.- Bang!
0:37:05 > 0:37:07- You sure?- No!
0:37:07 > 0:37:08LEE LAUGHS
0:37:08 > 0:37:12- Yeah, I think so.- It doesn't matter if it's wrong. We've just got to get a pointless answer.- No, I think...
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- Just trying to get the obscure one. - Ten seconds left!
0:37:19 > 0:37:24- Have you got your three answers? - We have.- OK, there we are. Your time is kind of up.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Well, we were looking for European capital cities south of London.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30I now need your three answers.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- Lisbon.- Lisbon. - Which is probably our least...
0:37:33 > 0:37:37- Erm, Athens.- Athens. - And then our jewel.
0:37:37 > 0:37:42- We think it's a jewel, we hope. Valletta, Malta.- Valletta.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46- Lovely.- It is if it's right! - LAUGHTER
0:37:46 > 0:37:50We'll discover. So of those three, Valletta¹s clearly your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:37:50 > 0:37:55We'll put that one last. What's your least likely pointless answer?
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- Lisbon.- I don't know. I think...
0:37:58 > 0:38:02- Athens?- No, sorry. Yeah, Lisbon next.- Lisbon.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06- So...- Lisbon and then Athens. - OK, Lisbon, Athens, Valletta.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10- I'm worried now about Valletta. - Well, we'll find out...
0:38:10 > 0:38:15- We will.- ..Very soon. OK, let's put them up on the board in that order. And here they are.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22OK, we were looking for European capital cities south of London.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25You said this was your least confident answer, Lisbon.
0:38:25 > 0:38:31You only have to find one pointless, of course, to win that £2,500 for your charity.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Let's see. Is Lisbon right and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said Lisbon?
0:38:36 > 0:38:38It's right!
0:38:38 > 0:38:42This is where we discover how much our 100 people know about geography.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46Down it goes. Still going down. 25!
0:38:46 > 0:38:49APPLAUSE
0:38:49 > 0:38:53- I thought... If we get lower than that, we'll be all right.- Exactly.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57And you knew that wasn't going to be pointless. So there you are, not a pointless answer.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Now what are your charities?
0:39:02 > 0:39:07Well, I'm doing a big cycle for Lawrence Dallaglio's Foundation.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11Every two years, we do a big cycle. Coincidently, we're starting off in Greece,
0:39:11 > 0:39:16at Olympia, and cycling all the way to Olympia in London.
0:39:16 > 0:39:21Which sounded like a good idea at the time, but... So it's nearly 3,000km.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25And all the money's going to the Lawrence Dallaglio Foundation,
0:39:25 > 0:39:31- which this year is supporting prostate cancer research. - Very good indeed.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33APPLAUSE
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- Lawro is not cycling with me!- Yeah!
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Well, good luck with the cycle. How long are you expecting it to take?
0:39:39 > 0:39:44- Nearly four weeks.- Every single day? - I have to fly back to do Match Of The Day 2
0:39:44 > 0:39:48- and then fly back out again. - Are you going to be allowed to stand up for that?- Yeah!
0:39:48 > 0:39:51- Nice comfy sofa.- Yeah. Mark, what are you going to be doing?
0:39:51 > 0:39:54I'm going to lump in with Lee, cos it's such a good charity.
0:39:54 > 0:39:59- I just want to see him absolutely knackered.- Very, very well done.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03Best of luck. We are looking for Europe capital cities south of London.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Let's hope nobody said your next answer, which is Athens.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08It has to be correct, obviously, and pointless. Athens.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Is it right? How many people said it?
0:40:12 > 0:40:14It's right!
0:40:14 > 0:40:16So we went down to 25 with Lisbon.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Let's see if Athens can get us down lower.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Maybe even down into single figures. Oh, 25!
0:40:22 > 0:40:25- Same!- Well, you called that well.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28APPLAUSE
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Right, we're looking for European capital cities south of London.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Your third and final answer, Valletta.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38You said this was your most confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:38 > 0:40:43It has to be right and pointless. If it is both of those things, you will be leaving here with £2,500.
0:40:43 > 0:40:48For the jackpot, Valletta. Is it right? How many people said it? Good luck.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53OK, we've had 25 for Lisbon.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56We had 25 for Athens.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00Here we have, for the jackpot, £2,500, Valletta.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03It's going down! Oh, no!
0:41:03 > 0:41:05You're havin' a laff!
0:41:05 > 0:41:08APPLAUSE
0:41:10 > 0:41:14Can I just ask you something? Was it a Maltese man who just answered?
0:41:14 > 0:41:15LAUGHTER
0:41:15 > 0:41:19- Well, unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.- Oh!
0:41:19 > 0:41:24I'm so sorry! So you don't go home today with the jackpot of £2,500.
0:41:24 > 0:41:29However, as it's a celebrity special, we'll donate £500 to each celebrity pair for their charities.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33APPLAUSE
0:41:36 > 0:41:39- You was robbed!- We were robbed! - Richard.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42So sorry, guys, it was a brilliant answer.
0:41:42 > 0:41:47I'm going to show you the pointless answers. I almost guarantee you at some point in your career
0:41:47 > 0:41:49you've played in a couple of these cities. Let's take a look.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52The first two are of countries only a little bit in Europe.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Astana, which is the capital of Kazakhstan.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Baku, which is the capital of Azerbaijan.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00Kiev, of course, the capital of Ukraine.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Ljubljana in Slovenia. Nicosia, Cyprus.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06San Marino would have been pointless.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10Tbilisi was a pointless answer as well. Vaduz is Liechtenstein.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13And Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. All of those pointless answers.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16There's also Chisinau of Moldova and Podgorica as well.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19So tough question. Such a good answer, Valletta.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you, Lee and Mark.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25It's been fabulous having you on the show. Thank you so much. Brilliant sports!
0:42:25 > 0:42:27APPLAUSE
0:42:27 > 0:42:30You've done very well.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33All that remains is for me to say thank you to our celebrity pairs,
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Linda and Jenny, Camilla and Kevin and Michael and Sian.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39And, of course, our finalists, Lee and Mark. Very well done.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41APPLAUSE
0:42:41 > 0:42:45Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye!
