0:00:17 > 0:00:19APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:22CHEERING
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31A very warm welcome to a special celebrity edition of Pointless,
0:00:31 > 0:00:33the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37Every single question on Pointless has been asked to 100 people before the show.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40To be in with a chance of winning our final-round jackpot,
0:00:40 > 0:00:43our celebrities need to come up with the answers that the fewest
0:00:43 > 0:00:44of those 100 people could think of.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Let's meet our Pointless celebrities!
0:00:47 > 0:00:49APPLAUSE
0:00:51 > 0:00:55First up, we welcome Nicholas Parsons and Rick Wakeman!
0:00:55 > 0:00:57CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Quite a breadth of things we know you from.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Obviously, Just A Minute, Nicholas. Grumpy Old Men,
0:01:06 > 0:01:08you've got a long career of TV and film, haven't you?
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- And theatre, yes. - And theatre, of course.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- And the Rocky Horror Show. - Quite recently, Rocky Horror.- Yes.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Fishnet tights, the high-heeled shoes...
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- LAUGHTER - Did you keep them?
0:01:19 > 0:01:20Ooh, look at them.
0:01:20 > 0:01:25And Rick, huge musical career. Massive hero of mine.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Rick was the keyboard player, the piano player on Hunky Dory.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- Yeah, I did Hunky Dory. - You did Hunky Dory.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34That riff at the end... # Diddler, diddler, diddle... #
0:01:34 > 0:01:36at the end of Fill Your Heart.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- The diddly-diddly-diddly.- Yes! He did all those on Hunky Dory
0:01:39 > 0:01:41and on so many other things.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- It was great fun.- You've got a lot tidied up between you, I'd say.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- But you have other interests. Nicholas, cricket...- Cricket, of course, is my great passion, yes.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53And, er, what other things? Oh, gardening, I'm a keen gardener.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58- I didn't know that.- Oh yes, and my garden's been on television three or four times.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- Goodness.- It was the Nine O'Clock News, wasn't it?
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Rick, how about you? What other areas are there?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I like gardening as well, that's what happens ageing rockers,
0:02:07 > 0:02:08you go in the garden a lot.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- And football, I love my football. - Very good. Listen, best of luck,
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- lovely to have you on the show. - Thank you.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Next, please welcome David Spinx and Hannah Waterman!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Of course, we know you from playing Keith Miller and Laura Beale,
0:02:24 > 0:02:28in EastEnders. Now, what are you hoping is going to come up today?
0:02:28 > 0:02:33Oh, something will come up and I think I'll like it,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36then when the questions come up, I realise I don't know anything about it.
0:02:36 > 0:02:41- Hannah, do you want to nominate any dread topics?- Sport, eurgh!
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- All sport?- Yeah.
0:02:43 > 0:02:49Yeah. And probably geography, history, maths, biology, physics,
0:02:49 > 0:02:54- chemistry... And so it goes on! - You two are going to be brilliant!
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- I can tell!- Oh, yeah.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- Fantastic.- That was just a big morale boost I got there, wasn't it?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Lovely having you on the show, thanks so much for playing.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Very best of luck!
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Next, please welcome Charlotte Jackson and Dan Walker!
0:03:07 > 0:03:09CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:03:13 > 0:03:16We know you from Sky Sports and Football Focus,
0:03:16 > 0:03:20so you've got sports completely sewn up there, haven't you?
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- You'd hope so.- You really would. - It's like David said earlier,
0:03:24 > 0:03:26you might think you know the subject, the category,
0:03:26 > 0:03:29and then, a question comes up and you're like, "Oh no..."
0:03:29 > 0:03:31You're expected to know it and then...
0:03:31 > 0:03:33If sport does actually come up as a category,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36your hearts are going to beat a little bit faster, aren't they?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I've got this vision of Richard, the quizmaster, going,
0:03:38 > 0:03:41"Oh dear, my six-year-old nephew would have got that..."
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- The shame will never leave us! - We'll just have to walk off.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Let me write that down, what was that? "Oh dear, my six-year-old nephew..." OK.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Well, Charlotte and Dan, it's great to have you here.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53Very best of luck.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Finally, we've got Trev Neal and Simon Hickson.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Well, we know you from Live And Kicking and Going Live!
0:04:05 > 0:04:07I should just say, we know you, Trevor and Simon,
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- from Trevor and Simon!- Fair enough. - If you can remember that far back!
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Absolutely. Simon, anything you're particularly hoping might come up?
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Films. I like films, so films in general.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Any particular era or vintage?
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Er, '70s, '80s, that kind of time.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Anything you're dreading?- Pigeons, I think.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Pigeons and carpet, carpet patterns.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I've been testing Trev on cheeses, haven't I?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Yeah, yeah. I'm quite good on cheeses.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38I don't want, and you like this, I hate you for liking it,
0:04:38 > 0:04:40you always have some periodic table thing on,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42and I don't even know what the periodic table is.
0:04:42 > 0:04:48- It's like an occasional table!- Pretty bloomin' frequent on this show.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Sorry, that was a terrible joke.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Possibly not even recognisable as a joke!
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Anyway...
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Listen, Trev, Simon, welcome to Pointless,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- it's lovely to have you here. - Thank you.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06There's only one person left to introduce.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08He asks more searching questions than a spurned lover.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12- He's my Pointless friend, he's Richard.- Hiya.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Hello.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20It should be a cracking show today, shouldn't it?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Trevor and Simon look like winners, don't they?
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- I think they do.- Stop it!
0:05:25 > 0:05:26- DAN:- Why do they look like winners?
0:05:26 > 0:05:30They've got that slightly buffoonish air. That's just an air, right?
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- Oh yes, it's all an act.- Of course.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34But you can see they know exactly what they're doing.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38In fact, I thought they were going to be winners but looking at Round One,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I think Round One is going to suit Nicholas and Rick
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- down to the ground. - Oh, that's reassuring!
0:05:43 > 0:05:45OK, well, I'm looking forward to Round One.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49And Round Two is going to be "things my six-year-old nephew knows".
0:05:49 > 0:05:51You've done that before.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- He knows that one.- Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show
0:05:57 > 0:06:00but we are looking for the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03To stay in the game and be in with a chance of winning our jackpot,
0:06:03 > 0:06:05our celebrities must score as few points as possible.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10that's an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16As today's show is a special celebrity edition,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23We start off with a jackpot of £2,500.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38In this first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:06:38 > 0:06:40and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47If you give me an incorrect answer, you'll score the maximum of 100 points.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Do try and avoid those if you can.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51OK, our first category today is...
0:06:54 > 0:06:59Fruit. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:07:12 > 0:07:16berries as they could. Berries, Richard.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18We're looking for the name of any fruit or plant
0:07:18 > 0:07:20that ends in the word "berry" and has its own entry
0:07:20 > 0:07:22in the Oxford Dictionary Of English.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Doesn't have to be an edible fruit
0:07:24 > 0:07:27but any fruit that ends in the word "berry".
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Very best of luck.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Nicholas and Rick, you all drew lots before the show
0:07:31 > 0:07:34and today, you get to go first.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Rick, we want a fruit that's a berry, ending in "berry".
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Well, I ruled out Chuck!
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I'm not sure whether this is two words or one word
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- but I'll have a go. Loganberry. - Loganberry. Very good indeed.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said loganberry.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Cracking answer, there it is.
0:07:56 > 0:07:5960.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02That's high. That's high.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Something tells me it's going to be a high-scoring round, this one.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- 60 for loganberry.- Big score for loganberry, named after John H Logan,
0:08:08 > 0:08:12the American horticulturalist, but I don't need to tell you that.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Thank you very much, Richard.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20- Now then, Hannah.- Elderberry. - Elderberry.- That's a good one.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Elderberry, yes, there we are.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said elderberry.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Ooh!
0:08:35 > 0:08:37APPLAUSE
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- It's exciting.- 16!
0:08:42 > 0:08:47Whoah. 16, leaving loganberry in its wake...man.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49LAUGHTER
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Very good start, Hannah, very well played.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Elderberry, named after John H Logan's elder brother!
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Charlotte, the most obscure berry you can think of.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Well, I was going to say loganberry, that would have been my first choice.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09That would have done you no good at all, 60 points.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13I'm pleased I didn't do that. But the one I'm going to go for now
0:09:13 > 0:09:16is something no-one wants to be, a gooseberry.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20A gooseberry, OK, let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said gooseberry.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Absolutely right.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Oh no!- 61.- Sorry!
0:09:28 > 0:09:30APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- 61 for gooseberry.- Yeah, gooseberry, only 61.
0:09:35 > 0:09:3760 for loganberry and 61 for gooseberry.
0:09:37 > 0:09:42OK, Simon, the most obscure berry you can think of.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47Well, this is horrible. I'm going to have a go at one...
0:09:47 > 0:09:50I could let you down, Trev, this could be wrong,
0:09:50 > 0:09:51this could be just someone's name.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I'm going to say bilberry.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55- NICHOLAS:- That's a good one.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Bilberry, let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:09:58 > 0:10:00let's see how many people said bilberry.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- 8.- I don't even know what one is!
0:10:15 > 0:10:17That scores you 8, very well done indeed.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22Well, Trev and Simon looking
0:10:22 > 0:10:26very strong indeed on 8. Then we travel up to 16,
0:10:26 > 0:10:29where we find Hannah and David, then up to 60,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31where Rick and Nicholas are.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Slightly unjustly, I can't help thinking. Loganberry, cracking answer.
0:10:35 > 0:10:3760? I don't think so.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Then up to 61, where we find Charlotte and Dan.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43So I would say, Dan and Nicholas, the pair of you should be
0:10:43 > 0:10:45jockeying it out to see who'll be leaving us
0:10:45 > 0:10:47at the end of this round. Very best of luck to you.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:54 > 0:10:59OK, we are looking for berries, we are looking for berries, Trev.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- Can you do better?- He's put me in a bit of a dilemma here,
0:11:03 > 0:11:07cos I either play safe or I go out on a limb as well.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- Limb.- Limb, limb, limb. - I don't know whether
0:11:11 > 0:11:13it's technically right, but...
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Ah...
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Juniper berry.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Juniper berry. A juniper berry.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23I'm saying it like that in the hope that it's one word.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26This red line will show you how far down
0:11:26 > 0:11:28you need to come. Our high scorers are Dan and Charlotte,
0:11:28 > 0:11:32on 61. You're on 8, which means a score of 52 or less from you
0:11:32 > 0:11:36will see you into the next round. Juniper berry.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- Neh!- Never mind.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49That's a real shame, a real shame. That scores you 100 points,
0:11:49 > 0:11:52takes your total up to 108. But anything could happen.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54108 is your total.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Yeah, that's really lulling everyone into a false sense of security.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00It's distracted you, you see!
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- It is a berry but it's two words. - Yeah, sorry, I...
0:12:02 > 0:12:05However fast you say it, still two words.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- A little mistake.- So, Dan,
0:12:07 > 0:12:11the high scorers are now Trev and Simon on 108, you're on 61.
0:12:11 > 0:12:1446 or less will see you into the next round.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Er...
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- I'm all out of berries! - No, no, no, you're not.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20There's a garden full of them.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24I'm going to have to go for the obvious cos I don't know any other berries.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25- Don't you?- OK.- Sorry, Charlotte.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Are you aware of loads of other berries?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29A couple more.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32My berry knowledge is not quite where it should be, obviously.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36So I'm going to have to say raspberries.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- OK, you're going to say raspberry. - Yes.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40The high scorers are on 108, Trev and Simon.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42I should have gone for it and let you go first.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45You are on 61. If you can get below that red line,
0:12:45 > 0:12:48you are through to the next round. This might be a lifeline
0:12:48 > 0:12:50for Trev and Simon.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Let's see. Raspberry. Is it right?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56How many people said it? Raspberry.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00It's right...
0:13:00 > 0:13:0487, that has scored you.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Sorry.- That's all right, I should have let you go first.
0:13:07 > 0:13:0987. That takes your total up to 148.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Phew, Trev and Simon! That aura's come back, I can feel it.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- 148 is your total now, Dan. - Yeah, 87 people knew that,
0:13:17 > 0:13:21one of whom was my six-year-old nephew as well.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26OK, now, David, you are on 16.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Lovely low score which means
0:13:28 > 0:13:31even if you score 100 points, you will not overtake Dan and Charlotte,
0:13:31 > 0:13:33our current high scorers,
0:13:33 > 0:13:37which means you're already into the next round. But for fun,
0:13:37 > 0:13:40let's hear your berry. Maybe it'll be a pointless berry.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44I've got two, but I'm not sure whether they are...
0:13:44 > 0:13:47I'm going to go for huckleberry.
0:13:48 > 0:13:54OK... I would have smirked at that but Rick just nodded,
0:13:54 > 0:13:57so I'm not smirking at anything to which the Wakeman nods!
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Let's see if huckleberry is right and if it is, let's see how many people said huckleberry.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08It's right! It's right, David.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Very, very well done, you. Down it goes.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12Still going down, still going down...
0:14:12 > 0:14:14It's pointless!
0:14:14 > 0:14:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- Very well done indeed, David. - Well done!
0:14:20 > 0:14:24A pointless answer that adds £250 to today's jackpot.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Takes the total up to...
0:14:27 > 0:14:29It scores you nothing.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33It leaves your already pretty low score at a very low 16.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34Very well done indeed, David.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- Huckleberry.- What is it?- Brilliant answer, very well played.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40It's a North American fruit, a small blue-black fruit.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Terrific answer.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- Rick knew, he knew it was right immediately.- Wow.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Brilliant, pointless answer on your very first answer,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- very well played.- Yes!- Brilliant! - Very well done indeed.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54And now, Nicholas, we come to you.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59The unusual ones have been given but I'll stick my neck out
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- and say blueberry.- Blueberry, says Nicholas. Let's see if that's right
0:15:02 > 0:15:05and if it is, how many people said blueberry.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Absolutely right and you're through to the next round.
0:15:10 > 0:15:1173.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- It's good enough.- Well done.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18That takes your total up to 133.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Well played, Nicholas, safely through.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23It was actually the right answer to give.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Sorry, Dan, there were a few more you might have got.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- Cranberry would have seen you through.- Cranberry!
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Mulberry would have seen you through. Boysenberry was a low scorer.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33There's a whole bunch of pointless answers though.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34Let's take a look at some of them.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39The bunchberry, nobody said bunchberry.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43You said "Chuck Berry", Rick. If you said chokeberry, you would have got a pointless answer.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47The cowberry, which is black and white, makes a distinctive noise.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50The dogberry, about half the size of a cowberry.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- There's huckleberry, terrific answer. The serviceberry.- Yes.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- You weren't thinking of that one, Dan, the serviceberry? - It was my next one!
0:15:57 > 0:16:00It's one of those things. The fruit of the service tree, that.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04- Er, the soapberry.- Ah...
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Didn't get that, Hannah and David? The squashberry and the winterberry,
0:16:07 > 0:16:10all of those pointless. Shall we take a look at the high scorers?
0:16:10 > 0:16:13These are the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Dan, one of these will be familiar to you. In third place
0:16:17 > 0:16:21was the blackberry, 84, when it's working.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26Raspberry, 87, and the top of all, strawberry on 92.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Well, thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33At the end of the first round, the losing pair with the highest score, it's Dan and Charlotte.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36I want to know, is a soapberry something you use in the bath?
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Let me look, Nicholas... No, it's not.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41No, no.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- Let me put that another way. You could.- Oh yes.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48But it's not what it's designed for. Like so many things in life.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50LAUGHTER
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Dan and Charlotte, I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58You've been denied some great quizzery from myself and Charlotte.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- It's a sad moment for everyone involved!- It genuinely is!
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Thanks so much, it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Dan and Charlotte, excellent contestants.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Do we walk off?
0:17:08 > 0:17:13For the remaining three celebrity pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Obviously, there's only going to be room for two celebrity pairs
0:17:21 > 0:17:24in our celebrity head to celebrity head round,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26so one of the teams in front of us now will be leaving us
0:17:26 > 0:17:28at the end of this round.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Our category for Round Two is...
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Fictional Characters. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:17:36 > 0:17:39who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48OK, our question concerns...
0:17:51 > 0:17:57- Richard.- Yes, on each pass, we're going to show you six descriptions of fictional captains.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00All you have to do is tell us who one of those captains is.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03The more obscure answer you give, the fewer points you're going to score.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Give us an incorrect answer though, you'll score 100 points.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09There'll be 12 fictional captains in all to have a go at at home.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- Best of luck.- OK, so we are looking for the surnames
0:18:12 > 0:18:14of these fictional captains and we have got...
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I'll read those all one last time.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52There we are. Six fictional captains.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55And Nicholas, you are to go first. As always on Pointless,
0:18:55 > 0:18:59you're going to try and find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Well, I'm a bit lost on most of them.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05But Long John Silver's parrot was Captain Flint.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Captain Flint, says Nicholas.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14It's right!
0:19:19 > 0:19:216!
0:19:21 > 0:19:24A great answer, Nicholas.
0:19:26 > 0:19:286 for Captain Flint.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30That's a terrific answer, very well played.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34From Treasure Island, of course. Reputed to be over 200 years old.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- Captain Flint?- The parrot, not Treasure Island.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Our eldest son calls...called him Long Gone Silver.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- Aw, he's having trouble reading, yeah?- Yeah.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- He's 17, isn't he?- 17 now, yes.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Er, OK, there we are. OK, Hannah.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58I think I know the answer to more than I thought initially
0:19:58 > 0:20:01when I went into a blind panic and could only think
0:20:01 > 0:20:04of a very obvious answer that probably isn't there at all.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06So I'm going to say...
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Owner of a mandolin called Antonia is Captain Corelli.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Captain Corelli, says Hannah. Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:20:14 > 0:20:18let's see how many people knew that answer. Captain Corelli.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Absolutely right.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25Ooh...
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- That's OK.- 21 for Captain Corelli.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31APPLAUSE
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Well played, Hannah. Captain Antonio Corelli
0:20:35 > 0:20:39from the novel by Louis De Bernieres, played by Nicolas Cage in the film.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Oh yes! OK, now then, Trev, you're the last person to have this board.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46If you like, you can take us through the board before submitting your answer.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48I think the indestructible agent who fought the Mysterons
0:20:48 > 0:20:50is Captain Scarlet.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54Then you've got Captain Mainwaring is on the Home Guard.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Then Captain Jack from Torchwood.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00I'm not sure but I think possibly the bottom one,
0:21:00 > 0:21:03cartoon enemy is Captain Pugwash, maybe.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07I think I'm going to go with Captain Scarlet.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11OK, very good. Captain Scarlet, you think is going to be the more obscure of those four.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Let's see, Captain Scarlet, is it right?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15How many people knew that answer?
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Absolutely right.
0:21:22 > 0:21:2430.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26APPLAUSE
0:21:26 > 0:21:2930 for Captain Scarlet.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33The highest score of the round, which seems unfair after you filled in the board so neatly there,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35and cleverly, if I may say!
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- Richard.- Yes, good round from everyone there.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41He was indestructible, Captain Scarlet, as was his nemesis, Captain Black.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Walmington-on-Sea's Home Guard
0:21:43 > 0:21:46was led by Captain Mainwaring, you're right, but that would have scored 39.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Torchwood's enigmatic central character,
0:21:49 > 0:21:51if you'd said Captain Jack, I wouldn't have given you the points.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54I was looking for the surname. It's Captain Harkness.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Would have scored 10 points, that would have been good.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59You should have gone for the cartoon enemy of Cut-throat Jake,
0:21:59 > 0:22:01you were right, Captain Pugwash,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03would have scored you 9 points.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05The best answer on the board, Captain Flint,
0:22:05 > 0:22:10- which Nicholas gave.- Thank you. We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at the scores.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Nicholas and Rick,
0:22:12 > 0:22:15deservedly low score there, the lowest scorers of the pass,
0:22:15 > 0:22:17that lovely answer, Captain Flint.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Then all the way up to 21, Hannah and David. Then up to 30,
0:22:20 > 0:22:23where Trev and Simon are. We're going to come back down the line,
0:22:23 > 0:22:26can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:29 > 0:22:33OK, we're going to put six more fictional captains on the board,
0:22:33 > 0:22:34and here they come. We have got...
0:22:49 > 0:22:51I'll read those all one more time.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08There we are. Six further fictional captains.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12As ever, on Pointless, you're looking to find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13Simon...
0:23:13 > 0:23:17There you are on 30, the high scorers at the moment.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22Er, I'm going to go for Jules Verne's Nautilus commander
0:23:22 > 0:23:24as Captain Nemo.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Captain Nemo, says Simon. Captain Nemo.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31let's see how many people said it. There's no red line for you
0:23:31 > 0:23:33as you are the high scorers.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36It's absolutely right.
0:23:40 > 0:23:4128.
0:23:41 > 0:23:4528 for Nemo takes your total up to 58.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Very interesting now, 58 points, going to be a tough round for you.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52The combined forces of Captain Scarlet
0:23:52 > 0:23:54and Captain Nemo, scoring 58 points.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56David, the high scorers are Simon and Trev,
0:23:56 > 0:24:00on 58, you're on 21, that means a target score of 36 for you.
0:24:00 > 0:24:0436 or less and you're in the head-to-head.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09I'm going to do "appears in the title of an Elton John album."
0:24:09 > 0:24:11I think it was Captain Fantastic.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Captain Fantastic.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Captain Fantastic. Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19let's see how many people said it. There is your red line.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24If you get below it, you're in the celebrity head to celebrity head.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30It is Captain Fantastic.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Well done.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35And you are in the head-to-head, very well done.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36- 6!- Well done!
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- Brilliant, Dave. - This is a great score.
0:24:39 > 0:24:4227 is your total.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Very well done.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47We've had a pointless answer and a 6 from you, David.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Very well done indeed. Richard.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50Very well played, David.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53The full title, it was Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy,
0:24:53 > 0:24:58- by Elton John.- Now then, Rick, you're the last person to have this board.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01You can talk us through it if you like.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05OK. Created by Kenny Everett, I've got a mind blank,
0:25:05 > 0:25:06I honestly can't remember it.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11Lives in Marlinspike Hall, I can only guess it's Captain Marlinspike,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14but that's probably not right. Peter Pan's nemesis is Captain Hook,
0:25:14 > 0:25:17but I'm going to go with Poirot's sleuthing partner
0:25:17 > 0:25:18as Captain Hastings.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Captain Hastings,
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Poirot's sleuthing partner. Captain Hastings, is it right?
0:25:24 > 0:25:26How many people said it?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Absolutely right.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34And you're through, very well done.
0:25:35 > 0:25:3722!
0:25:37 > 0:25:41- Takes your total up to 28. - Well done, well done.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45- Great answer.- Well played, Rick. Captain Hastings appeared
0:25:45 > 0:25:48in eight Poirot novels and lots of short stories as well.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Agatha Christie described him as Poirot's Watson,
0:25:51 > 0:25:55as you might imagine. Peter Pan's nemesis, you were right about that
0:25:55 > 0:25:57but if you'd said it, you'd have been knocked out
0:25:57 > 0:26:01because it was Captain Hook but would have scored a fairly mighty 65 points.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Do you remember the captain created by Kenny Everett?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07I remember what he looked like, I can't remember what he was called.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11- Captain Kremmen. Captain Kremmen, the superhero.- Oh yes!
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Absolutely couldn't bring it to mind but as soon as you hear it...
0:26:14 > 0:26:16And who's the captain who lives in Marlinspike Hall?
0:26:16 > 0:26:20- Haddock.- Captain Haddock, absolutely right, from the Tintin books.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Would have scored 1 point, the best answer on that board.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27Very well done if you got that, very well done to anyone who got all 12 of those.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Thanks very much, Richard. At the end of Round Two,
0:26:29 > 0:26:32the losing celebrity pair with the highest score...
0:26:32 > 0:26:36It's weird. Even though I now know you're leaving,
0:26:36 > 0:26:37you've still got that aura of winners!
0:26:37 > 0:26:38We leave as winners, thank you!
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Hang on, can't we do it like the normal Pointless
0:26:41 > 0:26:43and we get to come back again tomorrow?
0:26:43 > 0:26:45- That'd be nice.- Let's do that. - I'd like that.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50- Yeah, we should do that.- I'd love that. Trev, Simon, it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Thank you so much for playing. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- Good luck.- But for the remaining two celebrity pairs,
0:26:58 > 0:27:00things are about to get even more exciting
0:27:00 > 0:27:01as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Congratulations, David and Hannah, Nicholas and Rick,
0:27:10 > 0:27:12you are now only one round away from the final
0:27:12 > 0:27:15and the chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at...
0:27:22 > 0:27:25You're now going to go head to head and the first pair to win two questions
0:27:25 > 0:27:29will be playing for that jackpot for their chosen charities.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32You are now allowed to confer, that's the other great news
0:27:32 > 0:27:35at this part of the game. Very best of luck to all of you.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36Let's play the head-to-head!
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Celebrities when they were young.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56- This sound fun, Richard!- Yes. It's only pictures of them, it's not actually them.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00- Still...- We're about to show you five photographs
0:28:00 > 0:28:03of very famous people, but taken when they were children.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Can you identify them and try and give us the most obscure answer, please? Very best of luck.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Thanks very much.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Let's reveal our five celebrities when they were young.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13We have got...
0:28:26 > 0:28:28OK, so there they are.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Five celebrities from when they were little.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34David and Hannah, because you've played best so far,
0:28:34 > 0:28:37by one point, you get to go first.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40I think go with what...yep.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43We're going to go with A and say Jeremy Clarkson.
0:28:43 > 0:28:48Jeremy Clarkson for A. A, Jeremy Clarkson.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Nicholas and Rick.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Shall we go for C, Prince Charles?
0:28:54 > 0:28:59Well, we know C, it is. We know that's for sure.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02D looks awfully like my daughter!
0:29:02 > 0:29:04LAUGHTER
0:29:04 > 0:29:08I thought E was Beckham at one stage
0:29:08 > 0:29:10- but I'm not sure.- Oh, my gosh.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14Oh, I think we're going to have to play what we know, really.
0:29:14 > 0:29:15Let's go for what we know.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- Yeah.- You're going to say C, Prince Charles.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23- Yeah.- So we have David and Hannah saying A is Jeremy Clarkson.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25A, Jeremy Clarkson. Is that right and if it is,
0:29:25 > 0:29:28how many people said A was Jeremy Clarkson?
0:29:30 > 0:29:31It's right.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33And it's going to be low.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36Go on, David!
0:29:36 > 0:29:3812!
0:29:38 > 0:29:40APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Brilliant.
0:29:43 > 0:29:4612 for Jeremy Clarkson.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49Nicholas and Rick have said C is Prince Charles.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:29:52 > 0:29:53how many people knew that.
0:29:55 > 0:29:56Absolutely right.
0:29:58 > 0:29:5972.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01APPLAUSE
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Pretty conclusive there, after one question,
0:30:04 > 0:30:07David and Hannah are up 1-0. Richard.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11Well played, David and Hannah. Nothing you could have done, it's the best answer on the board,
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Jeremy Clarkson. Let's take a look at the rest of them though.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15B, any ideas?
0:30:15 > 0:30:17- HANNAH:- Kate Moss? - Absolutely right.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Would have scored 13 points.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23D is Nicholas Parson's daughter.
0:30:23 > 0:30:24LAUGHTER
0:30:24 > 0:30:27- Not really, it's Kate Winslet. - Oh, I wondered that!
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Well done if you got that at home.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31She would have scored you 19.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33And E, do you want one final go at this, Rick?
0:30:34 > 0:30:36- We thought Beckham. - We thought it was Beckham.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39You are absolutely right, it is David Beckham.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42That would have scored you 31 points, David Beckham,
0:30:42 > 0:30:44so again, wouldn't have won the points.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Thank you very much. Here comes your second question.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Nicholas and Rick, you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53It concerns...
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Oh no! Ha ha!
0:30:57 > 0:30:59We're going to show you the names of five British cheeses here
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- or cheeses commonly associated with Britain.- I love cheese.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04But they are all in anagram form.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08Can you solve the anagrams and give us the most obscure answer, please?
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- Very best of luck.- OK, thank you very much.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Let's reveal our five anagrams of British cheeses
0:31:13 > 0:31:15and here they are. We have got...
0:31:23 > 0:31:25I'll read them all one final time.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33There you are. Five British cheeses.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35Nicholas and Rick, you go first this time.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Shall we go for the first one or the third one?
0:31:38 > 0:31:41I think the first one is probably the most unusual, yes.
0:31:41 > 0:31:46We'll go for the first one, "newly sealed", as Wensleydale.
0:31:46 > 0:31:51Wensleydale, for "newly sealed", say Nicholas and Rick.
0:31:51 > 0:31:52OK, David and Hannah.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59OK, we're going to go for the third one down, which is Caerphilly.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Caerphilly, the third one down, "clearly hip".
0:32:02 > 0:32:05First we go for "newly sealed", which Nicholas and Rick identified
0:32:05 > 0:32:10as Wensleydale. Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:32:12 > 0:32:13It's right.
0:32:18 > 0:32:2023.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH
0:32:23 > 0:32:2623. You've got to hope that's enough to keep you in the game.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29It's got to be low enough. David and Hannah have come up
0:32:29 > 0:32:33with Caerphilly for "clearly hip". Is it Caerphilly?
0:32:33 > 0:32:35How many people knew that answer?
0:32:38 > 0:32:40It's right. 23 is what it's got to beat.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Still going down.
0:32:42 > 0:32:43Yeah, you've done it!
0:32:43 > 0:32:45You've done it, you've done it. 10!
0:32:46 > 0:32:4710 for Caerphilly.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Very well done, David and Hannah.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56After only two questions, you are through to the final,
0:32:56 > 0:32:582-0, brilliant.
0:32:58 > 0:32:59Very well played indeed.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03- Er, "cad herd" is...- Cheddar. - Absolutely right,
0:33:03 > 0:33:05would have scored...76. "His cheer"?
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- Cheshire.- Cheshire, absolutely right.
0:33:08 > 0:33:13Would have scored 40. "Angry choirs", very well done, anybody at home
0:33:13 > 0:33:18- who got this. It is Cornish Yarg. - Oh, gosh!- Cornish Yarg.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20- A pointless answer. - I love that cheese.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24Yarg, named after the Gray family, Yarg being Gray backwards.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26- That is clever.- That is clever.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Very well done if you got that at home.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Very well done if you make that at home as well!
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Thank you very much, Richard! So the losing pair
0:33:33 > 0:33:35at the end of the head-to-head, it's Nicholas and Rick!
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- AUDIENCE: Aaah... - Yes, exactly, aaah.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42There's so much luck in it. We both knew Caerphilly and Wensleydale,
0:33:42 > 0:33:44which will get the lowest, and we went for the wrong one.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47- Yeah.- Luck and judgement!
0:33:48 > 0:33:52Yes, we had the judgement and we had the bad luck!
0:33:52 > 0:33:56Nicholas and Rick, it's been brilliant having you on the show, thank you for playing.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58I'm sorry we have to say goodbye. Great contestants!
0:33:58 > 0:33:59A great pleasure!
0:33:59 > 0:34:01CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:34:01 > 0:34:05For David and Hannah, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Well, congratulations, David and Hannah.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13You've seen off all the competition
0:34:13 > 0:34:15and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot for your allocated charities.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:34:31 > 0:34:35You have played so well throughout this show.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38You have been the lowest scorers in Round One, Round Two
0:34:38 > 0:34:42and then a clean sweep in the head-to-head there, 2-0.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44You come swanning into the final. You make it look so easy.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47- Believe me, it's not!- Really?
0:34:47 > 0:34:51I'm so proud of David getting a pointless and adding to the jackpot.
0:34:51 > 0:34:56You know, so if we win that, it's down to him that we've got the extra 250 on it.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00- It'll be fantastic.- The rules are very simple. To win the money
0:35:00 > 0:35:02for your charities, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05We've had one pointless answer on the show today, it was from you.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09You only have to find one more. We nearly had another one from you just then.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12If you find one more now, in this round, you will go home
0:35:12 > 0:35:14with that money for your charities.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16First, you've got to choose a category. You have five options.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18They are...
0:35:26 > 0:35:30- How are you on your countries? - I've been to one or two.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35- Narrows it down then, doesn't it? - Yes.- Okey-dokey.
0:35:35 > 0:35:40- What do you reckon?- Well, OK, I really... Elements, eurgh...
0:35:40 > 0:35:44In that case, I'd say between Countries and Modern Theatre for me,
0:35:44 > 0:35:48- but whatever you...- Countries and Modern Theatre, right...
0:35:48 > 0:35:52- Countries we've got a fair chance at, haven't we?- Shall we go Countries?- Why not?- Let's do it.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56- Do you agree?- Yeah, I agree, that's why I said "yeah".
0:35:56 > 0:36:01- Yeah. Let's not fall out at this stage. Countries.- Countries, OK.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Let's find out what our question's going to be on Countries.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07- Here it comes. Best of luck.- Thanks. - We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:36:07 > 0:36:13to name as many island nations in the Pacific Ocean as they could.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16Island nations in the Pacific Ocean. Richard.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Yeah, we're looking for any country that lies wholly or partly
0:36:19 > 0:36:23in the Pacific Ocean and that shares no land borders with any other country.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25As always, by country we mean a member of the UN
0:36:25 > 0:36:27that is a sovereign state in its own right.
0:36:27 > 0:36:32So any island nations in the Pacific Ocean. Very best of luck.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34OK, you have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:36:34 > 0:36:38and all you need to win that £2,750 for your charities
0:36:38 > 0:36:41is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:41 > 0:36:46- Are you ready?- Yes, yes.- Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49There they are, your time starts now.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- Fiji's the only one I can think of. - Fiji, okey-dokey.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- Nauru.- Oh, my gosh, that sounds good.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57- I don't know where that is. - It's a little island.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01- In the Pacific? Marvellous.- American Samoa, I think that exists.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Er...
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- Tonga.- I thought, yes, Tonga...
0:37:06 > 0:37:07That's one, isn't it?
0:37:07 > 0:37:09- OK.- Er...
0:37:09 > 0:37:12There's millions of them, they're dotted everywhere.
0:37:12 > 0:37:17- Nauru, Tonga...- Nauru definitely exists.- Tonga and American Samoa.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19- Yeah, I think that exists. - Or just Samoa?
0:37:19 > 0:37:23Samoa, I think it's split into two now.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26I think Fiji's going to be high up so we ignore that one.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30- Let's think of some other...- Haiti's not, that's in the Caribbean.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Caribbean. It's where all the...
0:37:33 > 0:37:37- Easter Islands, they're not Pacific. - No.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41See, I only really know answers that are in the wrong oceans.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44- Ten seconds.- Pitcairn? Is that a country or does that belong to Australia?
0:37:44 > 0:37:46It's worth us having a go, we don't lose any points.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50Is that a country, I think it belongs to...
0:37:50 > 0:37:53OK, your time is up.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56We were looking for island nations in the Pacific Ocean.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59I now need your three answers.
0:37:59 > 0:38:04- Nauru.- Nauru.- I think that's how you say it. N-A-U... Nauru!
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- Just say it with confidence!- Nauru!
0:38:07 > 0:38:08Nauru, good.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12- American Samoa.- American Samoa.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16Yeah. And...what's the other one you said?
0:38:16 > 0:38:20- We don't want Fiji, do we? It was the other...- Tonga?- Tonga.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- Tonga.- And Tonga. There we are. Of those three,
0:38:23 > 0:38:26which do you think is your best punt at a pointless answer?
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Nauru, I've never heard of it!
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- Is that right?- Yeah!- Oh, is it an island then?
0:38:31 > 0:38:34No, I'm sure you're right, I've just never heard of it!
0:38:34 > 0:38:39- Put that one last.- OK, Nauru goes in last.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- What shall we put first? Tonga or American Samoa?- Tonga.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- Tonga.- Tonga first, American Samoa in the middle.- Let's do it.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48Let's pop them on the board in that order. Here they are. We have got...
0:38:52 > 0:38:55We were looking for island nations in the Pacific Ocean.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59Tonga was your least confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:38:59 > 0:39:04You only have to find one pointless answer to win the £2,750 jackpot.
0:39:04 > 0:39:09OK, so let's see. Tonga, is it right? How many people said it?
0:39:09 > 0:39:10Tonga. Good luck.
0:39:12 > 0:39:18Yep, it's right. This is your first shot at that jackpot of £2,750.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Down it goes. Tonga.
0:39:20 > 0:39:21If this goes all the way down to zero,
0:39:21 > 0:39:23you leave here with that money...
0:39:23 > 0:39:27- Oh, 7!- Nauru's got to be good then, hasn't it?- Yeah.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH
0:39:30 > 0:39:35- 7, that's good.- That's good.- It's not pointless but I don't think you were expecting it to be pointless.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38- No, I thought it would be higher. - So did I.
0:39:38 > 0:39:39Unfortunately, not a pointless answer,
0:39:39 > 0:39:42which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot
0:39:42 > 0:39:46of £2,750. What are your charities? David, what's your charity?
0:39:46 > 0:39:48- Cancer Research.- Very good indeed.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52- It's a personal thing. - Well, a great charity.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54- Absolutely.- Very best of luck.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Hannah, what's your charity?
0:39:56 > 0:40:01- Mine is Diabetes UK. - Another excellent charity.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04APPLAUSE
0:40:07 > 0:40:11Keeping our fingers tightly crossed that one of your two remaining answers
0:40:11 > 0:40:13will win that jackpot for your charities.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16OK, we are looking for island nations in the Pacific Ocean.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20For £2,750, let's see how many people said American Samoa.
0:40:24 > 0:40:25Ah.
0:40:25 > 0:40:30- Samoa...- OK, an incorrect answer as it turns out.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34You only need one pointless answer and let's face it, your best answer,
0:40:34 > 0:40:36Nauru, there it is, the bottom of the list.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40Hannah hadn't heard of it, you were absolutely certain it's correct.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44This sounds like a winning combination to me!
0:40:45 > 0:40:49OK, we are looking for island nations in the Pacific Ocean,
0:40:49 > 0:40:50your third and final answer was Nauru.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53How many people said it?
0:41:00 > 0:41:01It's right!
0:41:01 > 0:41:03OK, Tonga took us all the way down to 7.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07American Samoa teased us, turned out to be incorrect.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Nauru, still going down, still going down.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12If this goes all the way down to zero...
0:41:12 > 0:41:13Yes!
0:41:13 > 0:41:16You've done it!
0:41:16 > 0:41:17CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:17 > 0:41:19- That is fantastic!- Very well done!
0:41:19 > 0:41:21- David!- Fabulous.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26David, well done!
0:41:27 > 0:41:29That's superb, congratulations!
0:41:29 > 0:41:33Nauru was a pointless answer, which means you leave here
0:41:33 > 0:41:37with the jackpot of £2,750 for your charities. Brilliant.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43Fantastic performance. Richard.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47Very well done, there's only four pointless answers on the board.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51Let's take a look. Very well done anyone at home who said any of the following...
0:41:51 > 0:41:53The Federated States Of Micronesia.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57Trips off the tongue, doesn't it? The Marshall Islands, there's Nauru,
0:41:57 > 0:42:01and the Solomon Islands, all of those are pointless.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04Some low-scoring ones, Kiribati, there's Palau,
0:42:04 > 0:42:07both of those would have scored 1, Tuvalu would have scored 1 as well.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09But those are your four pointless ones.
0:42:09 > 0:42:14Samoa was up there, it would have scored 9 but American Samoa is a dependency of the US,
0:42:14 > 0:42:16- it's not a country in its own right. - It does exist though?
0:42:16 > 0:42:20It does exist, it's not a country but you couldn't care less, could you?
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- Not really at this moment! - Cos Nauru exists.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Congratulations.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27APPLAUSE
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Well, thanks once again to our winning celebrities,
0:42:33 > 0:42:38David and Hannah, who go away with today's jackpot of £2,750.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:42:40 > 0:42:41Brilliant.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46A huge thank you to our other celebrity pairs, Charlotte and Dan,
0:42:46 > 0:42:48Trev and Simon, Nicholas and Rick.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
