0:00:22 > 0:00:24CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:24 > 0:00:30Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to a special celebrity edition of Pointless,
0:00:30 > 0:00:34the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38Every question on Pointless has been asked to 100 people before the show.
0:00:38 > 0:00:44To have a chance of winning our final round jackpot, our celebrities must come up with the answers
0:00:44 > 0:00:49that the fewest of our 100 people could think of. Let's meet our Pointless celebrities.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51APPLAUSE
0:00:52 > 0:00:57First up, we welcome Lorraine Chase and Anne Charleston.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59APPLAUSE
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Lorraine, we know you as Steph Forsythe from Emmerdale,
0:01:04 > 0:01:09- and Anne, we know you best as Madge Bishop from Neighbours. - I know, yeah.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13- You worked together on Emmerdale? - We worked together last year.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Is there anything you're dreading, any subject?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- Sport.- Lorraine?- No good with sport.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Sport, geography, maths,
0:01:22 > 0:01:24French...
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- English?- Shall I go on? - I don't want your school timetable.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30That's about covered it, I think!
0:01:30 > 0:01:35We shall see. Very best of luck, Lorraine and Anne. It's lovely having you here.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39- Next we welcome Neil Fox and Emma Forbes. - APPLAUSE
0:01:42 > 0:01:48Neil, we know you from The Magic Music Breakfast Show and you've been on everything.
0:01:48 > 0:01:54- Emma, we know you from children's television, particularly Going Live, Live & Kicking.- Yeah.
0:01:54 > 0:02:00- Fantastic. Between you, I think you cover pretty much everything... - Quite a lot.- Yeah, actually.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05- Quite a lot of pointless TV.- Quite a lot of pointless TV has been done just by you and I.- Absolutely.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10- We did work together on something years ago.- What was that? - A teenage problem programme.
0:02:10 > 0:02:16- We weren't teenagers at the time. We were offering advice scarily called Speakeasy.- Speakeasy.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- And we offered advice to teenagers. - Right.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Can I just comment on Neil... Look at Neil.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26That's a proper flat-top. What wouldn't you give for one of those?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I know. It's very impressive.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Very impressive. - All that and a doctor too!
0:02:31 > 0:02:36I know! Neil and Emma, very best of luck. Lovely to have you on the show.
0:02:36 > 0:02:41- Next we welcome Joel Defries and Andy Akinwolere.- Hey, hello.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44APPLAUSE
0:02:46 > 0:02:51Now, you are both ex-Blue Peter presenters. That's what we know you from chiefly.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Much though I might say that Neil and Emma have got it covered,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Blue Peter is basically boot camp for Pointless.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02He loves this show and he knows a lot about a lot of things.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05I'm just his little sidekick. I just like being here.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- I am worried you're dead weight. - We've had this conversation.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14I said, "Revise up pointless stuff." He went, "I can't, man. I'm busy."
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- Dead weight. And that's exactly how he speaks.- So he's carrying us.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Joel and Andy, welcome to the show. Great to have you here.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Finally, we've got Michelle Heaton and Kelli Young.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26APPLAUSE
0:03:31 > 0:03:34We know you both from the spectacular group Liberty X
0:03:34 > 0:03:37who had ten consecutive Top 20 hits.
0:03:37 > 0:03:43- That's no mean feat. What are you up to now, Michelle?- I had a baby girl a few months ago.- Congratulations.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46So right now I'm a mummy, first and foremost.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Very good indeed. And Kelli, you're about to be a mother?
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Yes, I'm very close to being a mother of twins.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Welcome to you both. It's lovely to have you here.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00We'll discover all your hidden knowledge throughout the show.
0:04:00 > 0:04:06There's only one person left for me to introduce. If knowledge is power, he's like a national grid.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11- He's my Pointless friend, he's Richard.- Hiya. Hello. Hiya.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13APPLAUSE
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- It's going to be fun.- I think so.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- I sort of secretly want everyone to win.- Yeah.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Even more secretly, I want Lorraine and Anne to win.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Don't you? That'd be nice. That's what the fans want to see, isn't it?
0:04:28 > 0:04:34- Definitely. - I'm worried about question one with a couple of our pairs.- Oh!
0:04:34 > 0:04:40- Don't say this!- Is it one of those questions where it might be evenly spread, the despair?- No.
0:04:40 > 0:04:46It's one of those questions where there will be little pockets of despair and pockets of elation.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51Thank you, Richard. All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show,
0:04:51 > 0:04:54but we want the obscure answers that they didn't get.
0:04:54 > 0:05:00To be in with a chance of winning our jackpot, our celebrities need to score as few points as possible.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Everyone is trying to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people knew
0:05:05 > 0:05:09and each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:05:09 > 0:05:15As today's show is a celebrity special and each celebrity is playing for a nominated charity,
0:05:15 > 0:05:17we start off with a jackpot of £2,500.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24There we are. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35In this first round each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39The pair with the highest score at the end of the round is eliminated.
0:05:39 > 0:05:45If you give me an incorrect answer, you will score the maximum of 100 points, so try and avoid those.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Our first category today is...
0:05:49 > 0:05:54It's football. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:06:04 > 0:06:10to name as many teams that have lost an FA Cup Final as they could.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Teams that have lost an FA Cup Final. Richard?
0:06:13 > 0:06:19We're looking for any team that has been a runner-up in an FA Cup Final from the first competition in 1872
0:06:19 > 0:06:25right up to and including the 2012 Final, so any team that's ever lost an FA Cup Final.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30They might have won in other years as well, but any team that's ever lost an FA Cup Final. Best of luck.
0:06:30 > 0:06:36Lorraine and Anne, you all drew lots before the show and today, you are going first.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39So these are football teams that have lost an FA Cup Final.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44- Arsenal.- Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49It's right.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Very well done, Anne. Still going down...
0:06:52 > 0:06:5431.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- APPLAUSE - There we are.- Well done.- Brilliant.
0:06:58 > 0:07:0031.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05Very well done, Anne. They've lost seven finals in their history, but they've won ten.
0:07:05 > 0:07:12More importantly. Now then, Neil, the most obscure team to have lost an FA Cup Final...
0:07:13 > 0:07:19I went to an FA Cup Final and saw Manchester United beat Crystal Palace,
0:07:19 > 0:07:21so I'm going to go Crystal Palace.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Crystal Palace.
0:07:34 > 0:07:366!
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- APPLAUSE - Wahey!
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Very well done, Neil.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- 6 for Crystal Palace.- Well played, Neil. That's a great answer.
0:07:45 > 0:07:51Lost in 1990 to Man United, as you say, in a replay after a 3-3 draw in the first one.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56Andy, what is the most obscure team that has lost an FA Cup Final that you can think of?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Aston Villa?
0:07:58 > 0:08:03Aston Villa, says Andy. Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Absolutely right.
0:08:11 > 0:08:1210.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14APPLAUSE
0:08:14 > 0:08:19Not a bad score whatsoever, Andy. 10 for Aston Villa.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24Well played, Andy. Lost three finals. They won seven though, but not so much lately.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Thank you, Richard. Now then, Kelli...
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- Is this good for you? - No, it's terrible. It's the worst possible question for me,
0:08:31 > 0:08:34so I'm going to say Tottenham.
0:08:34 > 0:08:41Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Tottenham Hotspur.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Absolutely right.
0:08:46 > 0:08:4827.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50APPLAUSE
0:08:52 > 0:08:57- 27 for Spurs.- They've only ever lost one final. They've won eight of them, Tottenham.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02Well, we're halfway through the round. Let's take a little look at our scores.
0:09:02 > 0:09:08Oh, Neil, 6, lovely, lovely low score, then we go up to 10 where we find Andy and Joel,
0:09:08 > 0:09:13up to 27 where we find Kelli and Michelle, and then just up a touch to 31.
0:09:13 > 0:09:19Now then, Lorraine, luckily I know that you have a fantastic knowledge of obscure FA Cup-losing teams.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24Very best of luck. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:09:28 > 0:09:34OK, we are looking for names of football teams that have lost an FA Cup Final.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38Now then, Michelle, the high scorers are Lorraine and Anne on 31. You're on 27.
0:09:38 > 0:09:44If you can score 3 or less, you'll be through to the next round for sure.
0:09:44 > 0:09:50- I'll go with Everton.- Let's see if Everton is right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52It's right, Michelle.
0:09:56 > 0:09:5822.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- APPLAUSE - That's OK.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02There we are.
0:10:02 > 0:10:0722, not a bad score at all. It takes your total up to 49. Very well done.
0:10:07 > 0:10:13They've lost more FA Cup Finals than any other team. Sorry to bring that up, Evertonians - eight finals.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Wow! OK.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Wow, wow, wow. Now then, Joel...
0:10:17 > 0:10:21The high scorers are now Kelli and Michelle on 49. You're on 10.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25A score of 38 or less sees you through to the next round.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- I've been stewing it over in my head. - Mm-hm.- And I am a big Fulham fan.
0:10:29 > 0:10:36And I think, this is clutching at straws, that we did lose to West Ham in like 1967.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41So I'm going to go Fulham, but I'm nervous. I want to be adventurous.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- OK.- Play the game.- Go on, son. - Fulham, says Joel.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49There's your red line. You've got to get below that with Fulham.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Fulham, is it right, how many people said it?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54It's right. Very well played, Joel.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58And you are through.
0:10:59 > 0:11:003!
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- APPLAUSE - What about that?
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Only the lowest score of the round so far, Joel!
0:11:06 > 0:11:083 for Fulham.
0:11:08 > 0:11:13- Who'd have thought Fulham would be the best answer we could have had? - Gosh!
0:11:13 > 0:11:17You're quite right, they lost to West Ham, but in 1975 it was.
0:11:17 > 0:11:23- Very good. Fulham, Fulham, well done, well done.- Come on, you whites!- Come on, you whites!
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Now, Emma, you're on 6. The high scorers on 49 are Michelle and Kelli.
0:11:27 > 0:11:33- Joel's staring me out. - If you can score 42 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36No-one has scored 42 yet, to give you some idea.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41The only team, really, that I have any kind of loyalty to
0:11:41 > 0:11:44is my dad's team, West Ham.
0:11:44 > 0:11:52West Ham, says Emma. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many of our 100 people said West Ham.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55It's right.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59You've done it.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Still going down. 12, look at that!
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- APPLAUSE - Very, very well done, Emma. 12 takes your total up to 18.
0:12:07 > 0:12:14- Thank you, Dad!- Thank you to my dad. How brilliant that he supports a losing team!
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- A winning losing team.- A winning losing team. Well played, Emma.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23They lost two finals, including the first ever Wembley final.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- We come now to the moment of truth. Lorraine...- Oh, dear me!
0:12:27 > 0:12:32You're not the high scorers. The high scorers are Michelle and Kelli on 49. You're on 31.
0:12:32 > 0:12:38If you can find a team that scores 17 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43Once upon a time when my lovely boyfriend was alive, we did support a team,
0:12:43 > 0:12:47but I can't imagine them getting as far as the FA Cup.
0:12:47 > 0:12:54I'm trying to think of the last match that was played at The Den and think maybe that team might have...
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- Newcastle?- Newcastle, says Lorraine.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02- Joel thinks that's hilarious. - No, just because she said The Den and then Newcastle.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07- Well, that was the last one that Millwall did against... - OK, Newcastle, is it right?
0:13:07 > 0:13:12Please be right and please go down below 17. Newcastle...
0:13:13 > 0:13:18It's right. It's right, Lorraine, look. Where is it going to stop?
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Down it goes.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22You've done it! 8!
0:13:22 > 0:13:24APPLAUSE
0:13:24 > 0:13:29- Absolutely brilliant. Very well done. 39!- Oh, sorry.
0:13:29 > 0:13:3639. 8 for Newcastle, only the third lowest score of the whole round, Lorraine.
0:13:36 > 0:13:42- Absolutely exemplary play. - If I had said Millwall, would that have been one an' all?
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Yeah, it would have scored 6 points. Lost in 2004 to Man United.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51- There you are, two choices! - Newcastle United lost seven finals.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Let's take a look at the pointless answers. There's ten of them.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Well done if you said any of these.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Clapham Rovers lost one final in 1879, also won a final.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13Old Etonians lost four FA Cup Finals. Now they're running the country!
0:14:13 > 0:14:15LAUGHTER
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Oxford University lost three finals.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23Queen's Park, the Scottish team, lost two finals and Sheffield United lost two finals.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Bristol City was the other pointless answer.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28We got no incorrect answers there.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33- I'm not sure we've done a celebrity special without an incorrect answer in Round One.- Never.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Our losing pair with the highest score is Kelli and Michelle.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40I'm so sorry. Listen, Kelli, you get to sit down.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44I could do with a seat. I'm boiling under these lights!
0:14:44 > 0:14:48But 49 is a brilliant score. That shouldn't be a losing score at all.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Yeah, we got right answers, so I'm really happy.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56- I'm happy that we got it right and we can go home with our head held high.- Definitely.
0:14:56 > 0:15:02- Michelle and Kelli, thanks so much for joining us. It's been brilliant having you on the show.- Thank you.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09But for the remaining three celebrity pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17There's only room for two celebrity pairs in our head-to-head round,
0:15:17 > 0:15:23so one team in front of me now will be leaving us at the end of this next round.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25The category for Round Two is...
0:15:27 > 0:15:31Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41OK, so our question concerns...
0:15:45 > 0:15:50- Richard?- On each pass, we'll show you the names of six characters from children's books.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Tell us the name of the author who created them.
0:15:53 > 0:15:58A nice, obscure answer will score fewer points. An incorrect answer will be 100 points.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02There will be 12 characters in all, 12 authors to guess at home.
0:16:02 > 0:16:08Thanks, Richard. We are looking for the authors who created these characters and we have got...
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I'll read those one last time.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31There we are, six characters from children's literature.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36Just give me the author who created the most obscure one on the board you can name.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39What are you thinking, Lorraine?
0:16:39 > 0:16:44Right, so I know Shere Khan is from Jungle Book.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49I believe it's Disney, but I don't know who wrote it,
0:16:49 > 0:16:51so I'll say Disney.
0:16:51 > 0:16:57- OK, Disney for Shere Khan. Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.- No.
0:16:58 > 0:17:05- I knew it wasn't.- Bad luck, Lorraine, I'm afraid an incorrect answer. It scores you 100 points.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- But who knows what might happen yet in the round?- All right.- Neil...
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Yeah, um...
0:17:11 > 0:17:15I'm going to choose Caractacus Pott.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20Now, I think Caractacus Pott was in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
0:17:20 > 0:17:27and I think Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, amazingly, was written by James Bond's creator Ian Fleming,
0:17:27 > 0:17:31so I'm going to go Caractacus Pott, Ian Fleming.
0:17:31 > 0:17:37Caractacus Pott, Ian Fleming, says Neil. Is that right? How many people knew that answer?
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Absolutely right, Neil. Very well done.
0:17:46 > 0:17:477.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- That is brilliant.- There we go, 7.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Fabulous score.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Great answer, Neil. Great answer in Round One and in Round Two.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Ian Fleming did James Bond and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06The film was also produced by the James Bond producer, Cubby Broccoli.
0:18:06 > 0:18:12Joel, you're the last person to have this board, so you can fill in all the bits we don't have.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- I know two. - OK, tell us the two you know.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19I don't even know... Is Tom Sawyer Charles Dickens?
0:18:19 > 0:18:25I'm not going for that. I'm going for Shere Khan because that's the only one I properly know.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Shere Khan, I think, is Rudyard Kipling as it is from The Jungle Book.
0:18:29 > 0:18:35Rudyard Kipling, Shere Khan. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people knew that answer.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Absolutely right.
0:18:43 > 0:18:4522. Not bad at all.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47APPLAUSE
0:18:49 > 0:18:54- 22.- Well played, Joel. You knew it the second he said it, Lorraine, Rudyard Kipling?
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Don't you just want to spit?
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Not here!
0:19:00 > 0:19:06Caractacus Potts is his name in the film, but in the book created by Ian Fleming, he's Caractacus Pott.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11- Let's go through the rest of this board. Mr Bump?- Roger Hargreaves.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Absolutely, author of the Mr Men series. Would have scored 18 points.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20- Tom Sawyer, it's not Charles Dickens, it's Mark Twain. - My girlfriend will kill me!
0:19:20 > 0:19:2219 points. Fungus The Bogeyman?
0:19:22 > 0:19:26- Raymond Briggs.- The wonderful Raymond Briggs. Would have scored 3.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30And Dickon Sowerby is a pointless answer. Do you know Dickon Sowerby?
0:19:30 > 0:19:34- Is it from The Secret Garden? - It is from The Secret Garden.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- Thingy Hodgson Thingy Bennett. - Frances Hodgson Burnett.
0:19:38 > 0:19:43A pointless answer. Well done if you got that at home and if you went through the board.
0:19:43 > 0:19:49Very good. We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores as they stand.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Neil and Emma are on 7, up to 22 where we find Joel and Andy,
0:19:53 > 0:19:58- then quite a hike to 100, Lorraine, where we find you and Anne. - Disaster struck!
0:19:58 > 0:20:04Disaster might strike someone else in the next pass and maybe Anne will find a pointless answer.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09We'll come back down the line. Can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:20:11 > 0:20:16We'll put six more characters from children's literature on the board and we have got...
0:20:27 > 0:20:29I'll read those all one last time.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39We are looking for the authors who created these characters
0:20:39 > 0:20:44and you're trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:20:44 > 0:20:50Andy, you're on 22. The high scorers are Anne and Lorraine on 100. 77 or less will see you through.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I guess the one I feel most comfortable with
0:20:53 > 0:20:57might not be the pointless answer. It would be Tracy Beaker.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03- By Jacqueline Wilson? - Jacqueline Wilson, you are saying, for Tracy Beaker.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it. There's your red line.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Below that, comfortably through.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15You've done it.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Still doing it... 12.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24- Look at that. 12 takes your total up to 34. - APPLAUSE
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Very, very well done.
0:21:27 > 0:21:33Well done, Andy. Yeah, the wonderful Jacqueline Wilson, the Children's Laureate from 2005 to 2007.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Emma...
0:21:37 > 0:21:42We are looking for the authors who created these children's literature characters.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- I'm fairly confident on one, I think. - Good.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Jemima Puddle-Duck. Beatrix Potter.
0:21:49 > 0:21:56Beatrix Potter, says Emma. You're on seven. The high scorers, Anne and Lorraine, remain on 100.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00You want to be scoring 92 or less. Is it right? How many said it?
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Absolutely right. And you are through.
0:22:06 > 0:22:0833.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Takes your total up to a lovely, round 40.
0:22:12 > 0:22:19- Beatrix Potter.- Very well played. It's sad that Jemima Puddle-Duck has knocked Lorraine and Anne out.
0:22:19 > 0:22:24Of all the things it could have been. That's a job for the Gruffalo.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Not Jemima Puddle-Duck. Really, Jemima?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29What a shame!
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- Ah, well.- We'll have to finish the round.- I guess we will.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37- Anne, the sad news is the writing is already on the wall.- Yes.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Even before your answer.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45However, maybe there's a pointless answer that you might know and you can leave a little bequest
0:22:45 > 0:22:48for our remaining two pairs.
0:22:48 > 0:22:55- The only Matilda character from my childhood was written by Hilaire Belloc.- OK.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- Is that your answer? - That's my answer.
0:22:58 > 0:23:03Hilaire Belloc, you are saying. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05It's wrong.
0:23:05 > 0:23:12Bad luck, Anne. I'm sorry to say that is an incorrect answer and takes your total up to 200.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- I'm sorry.- That's all right. - There's two wonderful Matildas.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20- One Hilaire Belloc and one by Roald Dahl.- I should have known that!
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Now a musical in the West End. It would have scored 17 points.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29- Alexander, do you know the rest? Cruella de Vil?- The Dalmatians.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Absolutely right. So who wrote 101 Dalmatians?
0:23:33 > 0:23:37- It's a tricky one. A book everybody knows...- I know it.- Dodie Smith.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41- Dodie Smith! There we go. - Would have scored four.
0:23:41 > 0:23:47- The Gruffalo?- Julia Donaldson. - Absolutely right. Every parent in the country is shouting it.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Six points. And Ugenia Lavender is a pointless answer.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55- One of those celebrity children's authors.- Oh, I know...!- Any idea?
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- Geri Halliwell.- Geri Halliwell. Absolutely right.- Who got that?
0:23:59 > 0:24:04- Me.- Andy. Oh, Andy and Emma. - And Emma, my dear.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09- Very well done if you got all those at home.- Splendid. Thanks, Richard.
0:24:09 > 0:24:15- So the losing celebrity pair, I'm sorry, it's Lorraine and Anne. - Yes, sadly.- Oh, dear.
0:24:15 > 0:24:21- That wasn't a good round for you. - No!- I thought you'd have it sewn up. - I was amazed to get the football,
0:24:21 > 0:24:26- so I'm feeling all right. - You've done incredibly well, but this is where we say goodbye.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30- Thank you both so much. - Bye-bye!- Thank you.
0:24:32 > 0:24:39But for the remaining two celebrity pairs, it gets even more exciting as we enter the Head to Head.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Congratulations, Joel and Andy, Neil and Emma.
0:24:46 > 0:24:53You are only one round from the final and a chance to play for that jackpot, which stands at £2,500.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02You're now going to go head to head and the first pair to win two questions will be playing
0:25:02 > 0:25:09for the jackpot. The great news is you can now confer. From here on in, you are teams.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Let's play Head to Head.
0:25:16 > 0:25:22OK, here comes your first question and it concerns... creepy crawlies.
0:25:22 > 0:25:27- Creepy crawlies. Richard?- We'll show you five photos of insects.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31You have to identify them and pick the most obscure. Good luck.
0:25:31 > 0:25:37OK, very good. Let's reveal our five photos of insects. We have got...
0:25:50 > 0:25:54OK, there we are. Five photos of insects.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- Joel and Andy, you go first.- OK.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01I think we're going to go for E.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05- Prying mantis?- Praying. - The praying mantis.- Yes.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Praying mantis. A prying mantis would be quite good.
0:26:09 > 0:26:15- The prying mantis I can live without. - Moving leaves aside.- Yeah.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Neil and Emma.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26- B we think is stick insect.- Yes. - D we think no one would know,
0:26:26 > 0:26:30- but, to be fair, we don't either. - We don't know what it is!
0:26:30 > 0:26:34- I think C is a mosquito. - I think C IS mosquito.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39- I think more people would probably go...- Stick insect.- Than mosquito.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Let's say C, mosquito.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- More kids have a stick insect. - I think so.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- Yeah, fewer kids keep mosquitos. - LAUGHTER
0:26:47 > 0:26:52- Not willingly. They're not a cute pet, let's be honest.- Fair enough.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57- OK, there we are.- C, mosquito. - Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
0:26:57 > 0:27:03Right, then, Joel and Andy, you have gone for praying mantis. You said E is a praying mantis.
0:27:03 > 0:27:08Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Well, it's right.
0:27:13 > 0:27:1553!
0:27:19 > 0:27:2553 for the praying mantis. Now then, Neil and Emma, what do you think? 53.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- Mosquito is where on that? - A little bit lower, maybe.
0:27:28 > 0:27:34Let's find out. Is it right, firstly? And if it is, how many people said it?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37It's right.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Will it go lower than 53? 54!
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- Would you believe it?! - Are you kidding me?!
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Very well done.
0:27:47 > 0:27:53- After your first question, Joel and Andy are up one-nil. - This is tough, man.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57That was very close. Well played. Let's look at the rest of them.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00A would have won you the points. That is a cockroach.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03It would have scored you 31 points.
0:28:03 > 0:28:10You were right to avoid stick insect. That would have scored a fairly massive 87 points.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14And the best answer, it won't surprise you to learn, is D,
0:28:14 > 0:28:20which is, as everyone at home will tell you, a giraffe weevil.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- A giraffe weevil! - It would have scored 2 points.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27Look at the mechanics there. Amazing.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31It's hard to tell there, but it's actually the size of a giraffe.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35It's on an enormous leaf there.
0:28:35 > 0:28:41Here's your second question. Neil and Emma, you have to win this to stay in the game. Simple as that.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44- It concerns... - Don't look at them!- ..soup.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47- Soup?- OK!
0:28:47 > 0:28:54You don't get questions on soup on other quiz shows. We'll give you five soups in anagram form.
0:28:54 > 0:28:59Can you solve the anagrams and pick the most obscure? Good luck.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03OK, here we are. Five anagrams of soups and we have got...
0:29:03 > 0:29:06HE READS THE LIST
0:29:14 > 0:29:17I'll read those one last time.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25There we are. Five soups. Neil and Emma, you go first.
0:29:25 > 0:29:30- Crikey! - No, I think...- The bottom one?
0:29:30 > 0:29:33- Guilty Lawman.- Guilty Lawman.
0:29:33 > 0:29:38- I think it's mulligatawny. - Mulligatawny, Guilty Lawman.
0:29:38 > 0:29:43- Now then, Joel and Andy, talk us through the board as you're thinking.- Oh, well...
0:29:43 > 0:29:48- Oxtail. I think that's the best one. - That's all we've got, really.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52OK, oxtail, you are saying, for Oil Tax.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55So we have mulligatawny and oxtail.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Neil and Emma, you have to win this.
0:29:57 > 0:30:02Mulligatawny you are saying for Guilty Lawman. Is it right?
0:30:03 > 0:30:05It's right.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Keep going, keep going...
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Down it goes. Still going down. Look at that - 14!
0:30:13 > 0:30:14Oh!
0:30:15 > 0:30:19Not bad at all. Mulligatawny. Really not bad.
0:30:19 > 0:30:24Oil Tax, oxtail, say Joel and Andy. Is that going to beat 14?
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Is it right? How many said oxtail?
0:30:27 > 0:30:29It's right.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- Oh, 78!- We were resigned to that.
0:30:32 > 0:30:37- Even Stevens. We like this. - Very well done, Neil and Emma.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41You're back in the game. After two questions, you're one-all.
0:30:41 > 0:30:46Very well done. The other three would all have won you the point.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- Oh Sissy Vice - know that? - Vichyssoise.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53- Of course!- Eight points. Do you know Confined Horn?
0:30:53 > 0:30:57Everybody will know it when I say it. It only scores one point.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01- French Onion. - Of course it is! There we are.
0:31:01 > 0:31:07French Onion. Well done, everyone. And Bathe Pal is a pointless answer.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09It's alphabet soup.
0:31:09 > 0:31:14Oh, God! Which is, essentially, what the whole round has been.
0:31:14 > 0:31:20Now then, OK. The decider. Whoever wins this question plays for that money for their charity.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24OK, here comes the third question and it concerns...
0:31:24 > 0:31:31- Mexico.- My favourite country. - From insects to soup to Mexico. That's why it's difficult to revise.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35We're going to show you five clues to facts about Mexico.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:31:39 > 0:31:44OK, let's reveal our five clues to facts about Mexico. We have got...
0:31:45 > 0:31:47HE READS THE LIST
0:31:59 > 0:32:01I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18OK, there we are. Five facts about Mexico.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Joel and Andy, you go first.
0:32:21 > 0:32:27- I have a feeling I know when the Olympics was held.- I have a feeling I know the dog.- Go for the dog.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31OK, this is a wild guess and I'm sure it's not right,
0:32:31 > 0:32:36- but is...- Should we not go for the safest option?- OK.
0:32:36 > 0:32:42The country it shares its border with is the most obvious, but it's one we know - USA.
0:32:42 > 0:32:48- OK, the country it shares its shortest border with - the United States.- It's not short.
0:32:51 > 0:32:56I don't know. Do you know how long the other borders are? Neil and Emma?
0:32:56 > 0:33:02- Em...- Which one do you want? - We'll go for the state that shares its name with a dog breed.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- We both knew that. Chihuahua. - Chihuahua.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09- Chihuahua.- Why didn't we go for that?!- You don't listen to me!
0:33:09 > 0:33:15OK, Joel and Andy, in the order they were given, Joel and Andy have said
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- the border was the United States. - Oh, Joel.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Joel, Joel.
0:33:21 > 0:33:27No. I'm afraid, as you know, an incorrect answer. Neil and Emma,
0:33:27 > 0:33:33all you have to be is right and you are through. Chihuahua - is it right? That's all we need.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36- Beagle.- Absolutely right.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Well done.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Oh, and down it goes. 27.
0:33:42 > 0:33:47For what it was worth, it was 27 points.
0:33:47 > 0:33:55But it only needed to be correct and it was, so Neil and Emma are through to the final, 2-1. Richard?
0:33:55 > 0:34:02Sorry, Joel and Andy. Not America. It's actually got a border of 156 miles with Belize.
0:34:02 > 0:34:09- I knew that!- That would have scored three points. Its border with America is JUST bigger(!)
0:34:09 > 0:34:12- A little bit. - Nearly 2,000 miles long.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15- LAUGHTER - But, you know...
0:34:15 > 0:34:20What were you going to say for the year they held the Olympics?
0:34:20 > 0:34:24You said '80. I think it was either Moscow or Montreal that was '80.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27- Moscow was '80.- '84?
0:34:27 > 0:34:34- '86 was the World Cup in Mexico. - Ah, right. '70?- '70 was the World Cup in Brazil. '68.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37- Mexico Olympics. - EMMA: Close.
0:34:37 > 0:34:43That would have scored 10 points. Main unit of currency is the biggest answer. Alexander?
0:34:43 > 0:34:47- Pesos.- Peso, yeah. - Oh, the peso, of course.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51That would have scored 33. And the conquistador? Cortes.
0:34:51 > 0:34:57It would have scored 9 points. So Belize was the best answer. Very well done if you got that.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01So the losing pair, I'm sorry, Joel and Andy.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04No Blue Peter badge for you guys.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07- I've got a gold one!- Take it off!
0:35:07 > 0:35:10It's been nothing but a pleasure.
0:35:10 > 0:35:15You've been fantastic. Thank you so much for coming on.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Thanks for having us. Good luck.
0:35:19 > 0:35:24But for Neil and Emma it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:27 > 0:35:33Congratulations, Neil and Emma. You saw off all the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:39 > 0:35:46You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot for your charities and it stands at £2,500.
0:35:50 > 0:35:57- Well, listen. Very closely fought, but you've triumphed, vanquished. - We're here.- You've conquistadored!
0:35:57 > 0:36:01- Ready.- We're ready. - The rules are very simple.- OK.
0:36:01 > 0:36:07To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer. We haven't had any so far.
0:36:07 > 0:36:12You only have to find one now to get that money for your charities.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16First, choose a category and you have a choice of five options.
0:36:24 > 0:36:29- I...I think it should be... - We should go...- British Musicians.
0:36:29 > 0:36:35- Yes, because I think you will know that answer. No pressure! - I SHOULD know that.
0:36:35 > 0:36:40- And if you don't, I don't have to feel bad.- British Musicians.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44The very best of luck. Let's find out what the question is.
0:36:44 > 0:36:52We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Phil Collins UK Top 40 singles as they could.
0:36:52 > 0:36:58- Richard?- We're looking for any single released by Phil Collins which has reached the UK Top 40
0:36:58 > 0:37:05- prior to May 2012. With double A sides, we'll accept either answer.- OK.
0:37:05 > 0:37:11Nothing when he was part of a group. Just solo UK Top 40 singles. Very best of luck.
0:37:11 > 0:37:17I can't help thinking this has fallen into your lap. You have one minute to get three answers.
0:37:17 > 0:37:23All you need to win that £2,500 for your charities is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:23 > 0:37:29- Ready?- Yes.- Yeah.- Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:29 > 0:37:36- He did a movie that I loved the song off.- OK, Buster. And that was... OK.
0:37:36 > 0:37:43He did that one. One that I think will be quite obscure is the one he did with Phil Bailey, Easy Lover.
0:37:43 > 0:37:48Yes, Easy Lover. Definitely. That was one I was thinking.
0:37:48 > 0:37:54- He did a beautiful duet with Marilyn Martin called Separate Lives.- Yes. - From a beautiful film.
0:37:54 > 0:38:00And there's another film he did. The great love song that he did. I can't think.
0:38:00 > 0:38:07Oh, gosh. OK, Groovy Kind of Love was another big one he did. That was a cover version.
0:38:07 > 0:38:12He did that from Buster. In The Air Tonight, the one with the drums from the Cadbury advert.
0:38:12 > 0:38:18- That's probably quite popular. - I want to think of that film. I loved that film!- OK...
0:38:18 > 0:38:24- 10 seconds.- Another Day In Paradise. He's had so many hit songs. - Is that too obvious?
0:38:24 > 0:38:30- I think that's a big one for him. My goodness. It's pathetic. - OK, that's time.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34Phil Collins Top 40 singles. I now need your three answers.
0:38:34 > 0:38:42- I would go for Easy Lover. - Yes, and the one with Marilyn... - Marilyn Martin. Separate Lives.- Yes.
0:38:42 > 0:38:49- And I think maybe Groovy Kind of Love.- Groovy Kind of Love. - OK, there are the three.
0:38:49 > 0:38:55- Which do you reckon is your best shot at a pointless?- Groovy Kind of Love is our least confident one.
0:38:55 > 0:39:00- OK, we'll put it first, then. - Yeah, OK.- And Easy Lover last? - In the middle.
0:39:00 > 0:39:05- In the middle. - And Separate Lives. If we lose, we'll be leading separate lives!
0:39:05 > 0:39:10Going our separate ways with our trophies, never speaking again.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14OK, let's put them up in that order. We have got...
0:39:18 > 0:39:22OK. We were looking for Phil Collins Top 40 singles.
0:39:22 > 0:39:29Groovy Kind of Love. You only need one pointless answer to win that £2,500 jackpot.
0:39:29 > 0:39:34How many people said A Groovy Kind of Love? It has to be right and pointless.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38OK, well, it's right.
0:39:38 > 0:39:45We now need to see how far down it's going to go. This will show us how much our 100 people know.
0:39:45 > 0:39:50Still going down. Single figures! There we go - seven! Seven!
0:39:50 > 0:39:55So, unfortunately, not a pointless answer, but quite a good indicator.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot. Neil, what's your charity?
0:40:00 > 0:40:08- Prostate Cancer charity for me. - Emma?- Mine is a brand-new charity I'm patron of called Alice's Escapes.
0:40:08 > 0:40:13Very, very well done. Good. Two excellent, excellent charities.
0:40:15 > 0:40:22Let's see what your next answer does. Phil Collins Top 40 singles. Your next answer was Easy Lover.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26For £2,500, how many people said Easy Lover?
0:40:27 > 0:40:32OK, it's right. A Groovy Kind of Love took us all the way to seven.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36Easy Lover, which so many people might have forgotten.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39If this goes all the way to zero...
0:40:39 > 0:40:42- Oh, no!- No!- Five!
0:40:42 > 0:40:47- I can't bear it! - You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:47 > 0:40:52- Everything is riding on Separate Lives.- Please, please.
0:40:52 > 0:40:57Your third shot at that jackpot of £2,500. How many people said it?
0:40:59 > 0:41:02- It's right.- It's right.
0:41:02 > 0:41:08It's right. So A Groovy Kind of Love took us down to seven. Easy Lover then down to five.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12Here we have Separate Lives. It's still going down. Come on!
0:41:12 > 0:41:15- Oh, no!- No!
0:41:16 > 0:41:21- Oh, no!- I can't bear it! - Who was that person?!
0:41:24 > 0:41:28- That's Phil Collins.- You didn't find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:28 > 0:41:33so you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500.
0:41:33 > 0:41:39However, as it's a celebrity special, we will donate £500 to each pair for their charities.
0:41:39 > 0:41:44- Oh, good.- There's something. - Thank you very much.- Very kind.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53- Come on.- I'm really sorry. That was a terrific three answers.
0:41:53 > 0:41:59You played so well throughout and don't deserve to have left without the pointless answer.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03You'll have played a lot of these. Let's take a look.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Both Sides of the Story, that was a Top 10 hit.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12Hang In Long Enough, If Leaving Me Is Easy,
0:42:12 > 0:42:18I Missed Again was a pointless answer, It's In Your Eyes, I Wish It Would Rain Down.
0:42:18 > 0:42:24- That's a good one.- Something Happened On The Way To Heaven was pointless. - You'll Be In My Heart!
0:42:24 > 0:42:29- The song he won the Oscar for from Tarzan.- That's the one.
0:42:29 > 0:42:35Every Day and Home both pointless. Ones you could have got,
0:42:35 > 0:42:39but you did terrifically well. Well done if you got any at home.
0:42:39 > 0:42:45- Bad luck. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, but it's been fabulous.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Brilliant contestants.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50APPLAUSE
0:42:50 > 0:42:57All that remains is for me to say thank you to all our celebrities - Michelle, Kelli, Lorraine, Anne,
0:42:57 > 0:43:01Joel and Andy and, of course, our brilliant finalists Neil and Emma.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05Join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08- Goodbye. - And goodbye from me. Goodbye.
