0:00:19 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE

0:00:28 > 0:00:30Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,

0:00:30 > 0:00:33and a warm welcome to a special celebrity edition of Pointless,

0:00:33 > 0:00:36the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.

0:00:36 > 0:00:40Every single question on Pointless has been asked to 100 people before the show.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43To be in with a chance of winning our final round jackpot,

0:00:43 > 0:00:48our celebrities need to have the answers that the fewest of our 100 people could remember.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57First up, please welcome Helen and Barney.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Hello.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Hi. Thank you.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Very warm welcome to the pair of you.

0:01:06 > 0:01:11Blue Peter presenters, of course, must have the most fantastic pointless knowledge.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Yeah, pretty much.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16I mean, think of all the obscure things you must've covered.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19In the first few shows I did, I was a ballet dancer,

0:01:19 > 0:01:24I did an assault course and I took part in a street luge competition,

0:01:24 > 0:01:29so if we've got any of those subjects tonight, we're winning. If not, I'm struggling.

0:01:29 > 0:01:33What's the most obscure thing you've done, Helen?

0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Probably downhill skateboarding or the highwire walk.- What?

0:01:36 > 0:01:42- You did what?! You did a highwire walk?- That was pretty obscure, yeah.

0:01:42 > 0:01:46Hang on, that sounds worse than obscure. Where was it? How high?

0:01:46 > 0:01:50Between the two towers at Battersea Power Station, so 150 metres across.

0:01:50 > 0:01:55If I had 20 hats I would take them all off to you. That's amazing.

0:01:55 > 0:01:59It's lovely having you on the show. Best of luck to the pair of you.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Next, we welcome Tina and Paul.

0:02:07 > 0:02:14Most people know you from Holby City, of course, but you've each played a HUGE range of characters.

0:02:14 > 0:02:20Are you going to bring all the wisdom of the different parts you've played to bear on Pointless?

0:02:20 > 0:02:25- A barmaid, policewoman and a nurse. - There you go.- We'll have a go.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28You got it all sorted out there. You got forensics, detective work.

0:02:28 > 0:02:32Paul, what would you like to see come up this afternoon?

0:02:32 > 0:02:38Anything except physics, mathematics, geology, geography and most subjects.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42I like music, so there might be a play-off there.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44You're a guitarist, Paul.

0:02:44 > 0:02:49- I play guitar and Sellotape.- No! - I do.- How do you do that?

0:02:49 > 0:02:53- You un-stick it?- You undo it in the front of your mouth and go like that

0:02:53 > 0:02:56- and you can make tunes.- Quick, someone get some Sellotape, quick!

0:02:58 > 0:03:03Other tapes are available. Come on, Blue Peter. You must have some sticky-back plastic somewhere!

0:03:03 > 0:03:05You might rustle some up.

0:03:05 > 0:03:11- Music would be very good. But you come from a medical family, don't you?- My dad was a GP, yes.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13So you've kind of kept the tradition going.

0:03:13 > 0:03:18He wanted one of us in the family to be a doctor. So one of us sort of is.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21Well, best of luck to you. It's great to have you here.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23And next we welcome Julia and John!

0:03:31 > 0:03:35You'll be known to viewers now as the presenters of Countryfile,

0:03:35 > 0:03:37so we have to get this out of the way -

0:03:37 > 0:03:41presumably agriculture will be high in your list of categories.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45Of course. Agriculture, badgers, red squirrels, you name it. Foraging.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47We know a lot. We know people who know a lot.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50We know a lot of people who know a lot.

0:03:50 > 0:03:54I remember once I was doing a thing about how you test a cow

0:03:54 > 0:03:59for being pregnant and you have to lift the tail and push a hand in.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03And a lady vet was showing me how to do it. She put her hand in

0:04:03 > 0:04:09and the cow immediately evacuated over both of us!

0:04:09 > 0:04:13- Ho-ho!- Lovely.- An experience, I'm telling you.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16I'd rather tightrope walk over Battersea Power Station.

0:04:17 > 0:04:21Luckily that's not how they discovered that I was pregnant.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27You are indeed pregnant. When are you due?

0:04:27 > 0:04:31- We've got a couple of months to go. - Couple of months. Well, very best of luck.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33- I'll come to you for tips. - Absolutely.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35It's all the country air, you know.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38Yes. Best of luck to you. It's lovely having you here.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41And finally, we have got Erin and Anton!

0:04:47 > 0:04:49Lovely to have you here.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Erin and Anton, we know you from Strictly Come Dancing.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55but your relationship goes way, way back.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Way, way back. - I think it's about 15 years.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00What do you mean you think it's about 15 years?

0:05:00 > 0:05:03- It's almost 15 years. - 15 memorable years.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06We're like an old married couple, but without the hanky panky.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08LAUGHTER

0:05:08 > 0:05:10Erin, what would you like to come up?

0:05:10 > 0:05:15I don't really mind what comes up, because I probably won't know any answers.

0:05:15 > 0:05:20- She's from New Zealand.- You're very well-travelled though, aren't you? You're good on geography.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24A bit of geography would be good. That's probably about it.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26- Anton?- Yes?

0:05:26 > 0:05:29- What would you like to see come up this afternoon?- Anything.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32I'm fabulous.

0:05:32 > 0:05:33LAUGHTER

0:05:33 > 0:05:39- It's lovely having you both on the show, thank you very much. - Thank you, it's lovely to be here.

0:05:39 > 0:05:43We look forward to discovering your hidden knowledge throughout the show.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47Only one person left to introduce, the man behind the pointless facts and figures,

0:05:47 > 0:05:49- my pointless friend, here's Richard.- Hiya.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Good afternoon.- Good afternoon to you.- This should be fun, shouldn't it?

0:05:57 > 0:06:01- Oh, yeah.- Should be an absolute cracker, I think.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05When I grew up and everything, John Craven knows everything.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Everything in the whole world,

0:06:07 > 0:06:11- so I'll be very disappointed if he's not getting pointless answers.- Oh, dear!

0:06:12 > 0:06:18Round one is for people who are extremely well-travelled, I would say.

0:06:18 > 0:06:23For the well-travelled contestant, round one.

0:06:23 > 0:06:28OK. Thank you very much, Richard. We put all our questions to 100 people before the show.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31This is Pointless, so we're after obscure answers they didn't get.

0:06:31 > 0:06:35To stay in the game with a chance to win our jackpot,

0:06:35 > 0:06:37all our celebrities need to do is score as few points as they can.

0:06:37 > 0:06:42What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer, an answer that none of our 100 people could give.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46Each time that happens, if it happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49Now as today's show is a celebrity Special,

0:06:49 > 0:06:52each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56We start off with a jackpot of £2,500.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58APPLAUSE

0:07:01 > 0:07:03Right, let's play Pointless.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11In the first round, each of you must give me one answer

0:07:11 > 0:07:14and you cannot confer with your partner.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round, will be eliminated.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22OK, our first category this afternoon is...

0:07:22 > 0:07:23- Space.- What?

0:07:23 > 0:07:26- Space. - What's that got to do with travel?

0:07:26 > 0:07:30Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go fast, who's going to go second?

0:07:30 > 0:07:34- Do you want to go first? - Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41We gave 100 people 100 seconds

0:07:41 > 0:07:46to name as many naturally occurring objects and phenomena in space.

0:07:47 > 0:07:51Naturally occurring objects and phenomena in space, Anton.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54- Richard.- All the correct answers on the board, you're about to see

0:07:54 > 0:07:58will be naturally occurring systems, objects or phenomena in space.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01Helen and Barney, you drew lots before the show,

0:08:01 > 0:08:03and this afternoon, you get to go fast.

0:08:03 > 0:08:07We're going to give you a choice of seven answers on the board for each pass.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Your first set of answers looks like this...

0:08:17 > 0:08:20I shall read those one more time...

0:08:24 > 0:08:28I can tell you at least one of those answers is pointless.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30And at least one of those answers is incorrect.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33Pick an incorrect one and you will score 100 points.

0:08:34 > 0:08:38Helen, it falls to you to go first, you're our very first celebrity.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40And it's space.

0:08:42 > 0:08:46- I'm going to play safe, for once. I'm going to go asteroid. - Asteroid.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51- What's wrong with that, Barney? - What?- Is that going to be popular?

0:08:51 > 0:08:55I'm going to play safe because I know it's going to be up there,

0:08:55 > 0:09:00- but it's not going to be wrong... We're not meant to confer, what are we doing?!- Sorry.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03You're saying asteroid. Let's see if asteroid is right and if it is,

0:09:03 > 0:09:06let's see how many people said asteroid, good luck.

0:09:06 > 0:09:07It IS right.

0:09:10 > 0:09:14It's not bad, look at that. 38, Helen, that's not bad at all.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17Not bad at all. It scores you 38. Well done, Richard?

0:09:17 > 0:09:21Asteroids are small rocky body that orbit the sun.

0:09:21 > 0:09:25At some point, one them will destroy this planet as we know it.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28But it's not going to be for a while, so enjoy the show.

0:09:30 > 0:09:31- Paul?- Yes?

0:09:31 > 0:09:35We want the most obscure, correct answer on that board.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38The most obscure naturally occurring object, system or phenomenon.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41My correct answer is, can I go home now?

0:09:43 > 0:09:47I'm going to go safe, if it's right, it's safe.

0:09:47 > 0:09:52- It it's wrong, it's very dangerous. I'm going to go for quasar. - Quasar.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Tina thinks that a great answer. - Yes.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said it?

0:10:00 > 0:10:03He's right. Well done, Paul.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09Very, very well done indeed, Paul!

0:10:09 > 0:10:10APPLAUSE

0:10:12 > 0:10:13That's how you do it.

0:10:13 > 0:10:17- Two points for quasar, very, very well done.- Richard?

0:10:17 > 0:10:19Very bright objects, quasars.

0:10:19 > 0:10:24- It's also a cool game with laser guns.- Yes.

0:10:24 > 0:10:30Julia, we are looking for naturally occurring objects, systems and phenomena in space

0:10:30 > 0:10:35and you're going to see if you can find the pointless one on that board. Why don't you?

0:10:35 > 0:10:37It just gets harder and harder, doesn't it?

0:10:37 > 0:10:39White Dwarf, that's a play on Red Dwarf,

0:10:39 > 0:10:42Is that one of your little red herrings?

0:10:42 > 0:10:44Bolide sounds a bit like bollard.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50That doesn't mean it's necessarily wrong!

0:10:50 > 0:10:54You've all been sitting there going, what, sounds like something but isn't something?

0:10:54 > 0:10:58Corellia, I like the sound of a Corellia.

0:10:58 > 0:11:02- Corellia.- Corellia.- Corellia.

0:11:02 > 0:11:06Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Corellia.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10AUDIENCE GROANS

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Oh! Bad luck, Julia.

0:11:12 > 0:11:16Corellia's an incorrect answer, which means you score a maximum of 100 points.

0:11:16 > 0:11:20- Way to go, excellent.- I'm sorry, Richard.- I need to sit down, that's perfect.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24- Richard.- Corellia, I'm afraid is where Han Solo is from in Star Wars.

0:11:24 > 0:11:28You see, that's why I knew it!

0:11:28 > 0:11:29I'm sorry.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Erin.- Yes?- You are the last person to have this board.

0:11:32 > 0:11:36I can tell you one thing, there is still a pointless answer on that board.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39There is, but there might be some wrong ones.

0:11:39 > 0:11:44- There might be another wrong one... - There's a very obvious one, which I won't choose.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47- Um, Nebula.- Oh, good one. - Nebula.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49- Because I think I've heard of it. - You have?

0:11:49 > 0:11:50Nebula, says Erin.

0:11:50 > 0:11:54Let's see if it's right and if it is right, how many people said Nebula?

0:11:54 > 0:11:56It's right.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00- Go on, Erin. - Come on! Come on!

0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Go on, Erin!- Come on!

0:12:02 > 0:12:03Very, very well done, Erin.

0:12:06 > 0:12:10Seven points for Nebula. Richard.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13Yes, very well played, Erin. Good start.

0:12:13 > 0:12:18It's huge clouds of gas and particles in interstellar space, Nebula.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20Let's take a look at the rest of the board.

0:12:20 > 0:12:24Star is an obvious answer, would've scored you 70 points, so well avoided.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27A White Dwarf is a star that has lost all its nuclear fuel.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30It's essentially what will happen to us one day and we'll all die.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33But not for a while, four points.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36And the Bolide, it does sound a bit like bollard,

0:12:36 > 0:12:40I will give you that, but it's actually an exploding meteor,

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Which makes it the coolest kind of meteor.

0:12:42 > 0:12:46That's a pointless answer. Very well done if you said that at home.

0:12:46 > 0:12:51We're halfway through the round, so let's take a look at the scores as they stand.

0:12:51 > 0:12:55Paul and Tina! You're looking fantastic. Just two points.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58Then we go up to seven where we find Erin and Anton.

0:12:58 > 0:13:03And then we come up to 38 where Helen and Barney currently reside

0:13:03 > 0:13:07and then up to 100 where Julia and John are sitting.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09John, it's all in your hands.

0:13:09 > 0:13:13We need a nice, obscure, naturally occurring object, system or phenomenon in space

0:13:13 > 0:13:16in the next pass, otherwise we'll have to say goodbye.

0:13:16 > 0:13:21Back down the line. Can the second players please take their place at the podium.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28Seven more answers on the board. And here they come. We have got...

0:13:36 > 0:13:38I'll read those all one more time...

0:13:42 > 0:13:46Again, I can tell you at least one of those answers is incorrect

0:13:46 > 0:13:48and at least one of those answers is pointless.

0:13:48 > 0:13:52Pick that one, you'll score nothing and add money to the jackpot,

0:13:52 > 0:13:54pick an incorrect one and you'll score 100 points.

0:13:54 > 0:13:59- Anton, you're on seven.- Thank you. - Thanks to Erin's brilliant answer.

0:13:59 > 0:14:03The high scorers are John and Julia on 100.

0:14:03 > 0:14:08If you can score 92 or less, you are through to the next round.

0:14:08 > 0:14:13I'm going to say, um, well, let's just say...Comet.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17Comet.

0:14:18 > 0:14:22There's your red line. If you can get below that red line,

0:14:22 > 0:14:24you are through to the next round, definitely.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26Now, Comet. Says Anton.

0:14:26 > 0:14:31Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Comet.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Yes it's right and you are through to the next round. There you are.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39APPLAUSE

0:14:39 > 0:14:4539 takes your total up to 46, you are through with room to spare.

0:14:45 > 0:14:49- Comet, why's it so low? - Because people have got to name as many as they can

0:14:49 > 0:14:53and not everyone's going to name all of those different things.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55Small icy objects that, also they orbit the sun.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58Splendid, thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01- So then, John.- Ah!

0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Yes, you see, this is the moment. - The moment of truth.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07This is the moment where we need your expertise.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10There's a pointless answer, at least one pointless answer on that board.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13- You are the highest scorers. - Lots of very obvious ones.

0:15:13 > 0:15:18Zanatta isn't that obvious, is it? What about Protostar?

0:15:18 > 0:15:21- I'll go for Protostar. - You're going to go for Protostar.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25I haven't heard of it, but it's, you know...

0:15:25 > 0:15:29- Mmm.- Not obvious, is it? - Or we could get 200!- We could! THEY LAUGH

0:15:29 > 0:15:32- You could join our prestigious 200 club.- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Let's see if Protostar is right,

0:15:34 > 0:15:37and if it is, let's see how many people said it?

0:15:39 > 0:15:41- It is right!- Yes!

0:15:41 > 0:15:44- It's right, John! Very well done. - Come on! Right down!

0:15:44 > 0:15:46This has to go one way.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48And it does! Well done!

0:15:48 > 0:15:52- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Trust the Craven.

0:15:52 > 0:15:57That's a pointless answer, it adds £250 to our jackpot,

0:15:57 > 0:16:02which takes us up to £2,750. It scores you nothing and leaves your total at 100 points.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05Is it enough to see you through? Let's hope it is. Richard.

0:16:05 > 0:16:10I knew it. I knew it. I knew John Craven wouldn't let me down.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12- So did I.- Excellent, excellent. - Pure guess.

0:16:12 > 0:16:16Yes, the huge gas balls haven't yet become a fully-fledged star,

0:16:16 > 0:16:18essentially, a Protostar, as the name suggests.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21Like some of the people on Britain's Got Talent, you mean?

0:16:21 > 0:16:24- Huge gas balls that haven't yet become stars.- Indeed.

0:16:24 > 0:16:29- No, because protostars always go on to become stars.- Ah! - Brilliant.- Thank you.

0:16:29 > 0:16:33Now, Tina. Tina, you are on two,

0:16:33 > 0:16:36thanks to Paul's excellent answer in the first pass.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39That means the highest scorers being John and Julia on 100.

0:16:39 > 0:16:43If you can score 97 or less with this, 97 or less,

0:16:43 > 0:16:46you are through to the next round.

0:16:46 > 0:16:50So I could go fairly obvious, couldn't I, really?

0:16:50 > 0:16:55- So I could go Galaxy, please.- You are going to go for Galaxy! Galaxy?

0:16:55 > 0:16:58Is it right? If it is, how many people said galaxy?

0:17:01 > 0:17:04- It's wrong.- You've done it! You're through!

0:17:06 > 0:17:10- 27. Wow. - APPLAUSE

0:17:10 > 0:17:16- 27 for Galaxy takes your total up to 29.- So, it's a good answer. Galaxy, obviously,

0:17:16 > 0:17:20the systems of stars that make up our universe.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Very good indeed.

0:17:22 > 0:17:27Now, Barney, we come to you, the high scorers remain John and Julia on 100.

0:17:27 > 0:17:33You're on 38, which means if you can score 61 or less, you're through to the next round.

0:17:33 > 0:17:3461 or less.

0:17:36 > 0:17:37Come on, Barney.

0:17:37 > 0:17:41It is not Planet, it's not Zanatta, it's between Pulsar and Supernova. I think Supernova

0:17:41 > 0:17:45is probably less well known than Comet and Galaxy.

0:17:46 > 0:17:50- Supernova.- You're going for Supernova, is that what you're saying?

0:17:50 > 0:17:53- I'm going to go Supernova! - You're going to go Supernova!

0:17:53 > 0:17:57- I am physically going to go Supernova!- You go Supernova, Barney!

0:17:57 > 0:17:59There's your red line, look,

0:17:59 > 0:18:03that's what it looks like, that's what 61 points look like on our column.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06Is it OK if I don't look? If I just go by the audience reaction?

0:18:06 > 0:18:09Yes, you can go by the audience reaction.

0:18:09 > 0:18:13Supernova. There it is. Let's see if it's right. Supernova.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16And if it is, let's see how many people said Supernova. Good luck.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20It's right.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24- You've done it, you through!- Yes!

0:18:24 > 0:18:27Oh, it's a brilliant answer, Barney.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30Scores you six, takes the total up to 44.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32APPLAUSE

0:18:32 > 0:18:38- Fantastic.- Yes, a class of violently exploding stars, Supernova.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40Let's take a look at the rest of the board.

0:18:40 > 0:18:44Planet, if you had said Planet, you'd be on 100 points,

0:18:44 > 0:18:46because it's 62. We'd have had a tie.

0:18:46 > 0:18:50Pulsar or Zanatta, which of those is incorrect, do you think?

0:18:50 > 0:18:53It's funny enough, I do think that Zanatta is incorrect.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55Yeah, Pulsar stands for pulsating radio star,

0:18:55 > 0:18:57that would have scored you three points, so a good answer.

0:18:57 > 0:19:01And Zanatta, Giancarlo Zanatta is a man who invented moon boots.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03So that was an incorrect answer.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06Thanks very much indeed, Richard, so at the end of round one,

0:19:06 > 0:19:09- the losing pair with the highest score, it's Julia and John.- Aw!

0:19:09 > 0:19:15- Oh, dear, and a heroic turn, I have to say.- It was fun while it lasted.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18- And Julia.- I can go and sit down now.- You can go and sit down.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20- Excellent!- It's been just brilliant having you on the show,

0:19:20 > 0:19:24I'm so sorry we have to say goodbye, but splendid contestants.

0:19:24 > 0:19:29- John and Julia. Wonderful. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:19:29 > 0:19:33But for the remaining three celebrity pairs, time for round two.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43Obviously, there's only room for two celebrity pairs in our head to head,

0:19:43 > 0:19:47so one team in front of me now will leave us at the end of this round. Try and make sure it's not you.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49Our category for around two is...

0:19:50 > 0:19:53Comedy characters.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Can you all decide in your pairs who goes first and second.

0:19:57 > 0:20:01And whoever is first, please step up to the podium.

0:20:03 > 0:20:11So, our question concerns comedians and their characters. Richard.

0:20:11 > 0:20:14We're going to show you six comedy characters on each pass.

0:20:14 > 0:20:17We asked 100 people to name the comedian who played each of them.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20If you give us a nice obscure answer, you'll score fewer points,

0:20:20 > 0:20:23but if you give us an incorrect answer, you'll score 100 points.

0:20:23 > 0:20:27There's going to be 12 characters, and all 12 comedians to guess at home. Very best of luck.

0:20:27 > 0:20:32OK, so we're looking for the comedians who played these characters.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34Here we go. Our first list reads like this.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44I shall read those one more time.

0:20:50 > 0:20:56There we are. Now, Helen, as always on Pointless, you're trying

0:20:56 > 0:20:59to find the answer that the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:20:59 > 0:21:03David Brent, that is Ricky Gervais.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06You're going to say David Brent, Ricky Gervais.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08- Is that really stupid?- Barney?

0:21:08 > 0:21:13- I said something stupid, haven't I? - Are we having an asteroid moment again?!- Asteroid was fine!- It was!

0:21:13 > 0:21:17It was fine. Let's hope David Brent and Ricky Gervais is also fine.

0:21:17 > 0:21:21Let's see if it's right, and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25It is right.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29Down it goes, 39, not bad at all.

0:21:29 > 0:21:34Not bad at all. 39 for David Brent, Ricky Gervais.

0:21:34 > 0:21:38- Yeah, well played, Helen, only one point more than asteroid.- Oh!

0:21:38 > 0:21:40So, not a bad start at all.

0:21:40 > 0:21:44- Barney, just have a bit more faith in Helen.- Yeah, Barney! - No, I do! I do.

0:21:44 > 0:21:45- No, you don't. - LAUGHTER

0:21:45 > 0:21:48David Brent, manager of Wernham-Hogg paper merchants,

0:21:48 > 0:21:52they made The Office in America but also Chile, Canada, all sorts of places.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55Thank you very much. Now, Paul.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58Paul, I think you're going to be dazzling on this.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01- You are going to be amazing. - Well, you'd think so,

0:22:01 > 0:22:07but I'm sort of rabbit in headlights here, because I know the characters

0:22:07 > 0:22:12and I can see them, but I can't see the names on their dressing rooms.

0:22:12 > 0:22:16Apart from Knowing Me, Knowing You, Ah-ha, Steve Coogan.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18Steve Coogan, Alan Partridge. Let's see if that's right

0:22:18 > 0:22:22- and if so, how many people knew that answer.- Oh, no.

0:22:22 > 0:22:26Erin, listen, stop it. Shush, it's going to be fine!

0:22:26 > 0:22:29- I don't know who any of them are. - Well, that's OK.- BOTH: No, it's not!

0:22:29 > 0:22:30LAUGHTER

0:22:30 > 0:22:34You'll be fine, fine, you'll be fine, Paul, Steve Coogan,

0:22:34 > 0:22:39Alan Partridge, let's see if it's right, and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41It is right.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48APPLAUSE That's amazing.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51Absolutely, Alan Partridge, Steve Coogan, good answer, Paul,

0:22:51 > 0:22:53and it beats Ricky Gervais.

0:22:53 > 0:22:57Ricky Gervais will not like that one bit!

0:22:57 > 0:23:03- No.- Now then, Erin.

0:23:03 > 0:23:09- Brilliant!- Yes.- Erin, Erin!- I was going to go for those two. Now, I don't know what to do!- That is OK.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12- Fill in the board. - I had those answers. Really.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15- Just name a comedian. - Name a comedian?!

0:23:15 > 0:23:20- I don't know any comedians! - There's one right in front of you!

0:23:20 > 0:23:22He's quite funny. Say Alexander.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25- Just to make him feel at least, better.- Alexander!

0:23:25 > 0:23:28LAUGHTER

0:23:28 > 0:23:33- What's his surname?- Armstrong. - Armstrong! Played Randy Mandy!

0:23:36 > 0:23:40OK, very good. We got there in the end.

0:23:40 > 0:23:45OK, let's see if Alexander Armstrong really did play Randy Mandy?

0:23:45 > 0:23:48If it's right, let's see how many people knew that answer. Good luck!

0:23:50 > 0:23:52OK, let's see.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58- No, I'm afraid. I'm sorry. That is an incorrect answer.- Oh!

0:23:58 > 0:24:01- I was convinced that was right!- So was I!

0:24:01 > 0:24:04That means you've scored a maximum of 100 points.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06Let's take a look. Let's start with Randy Mandy.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08Randy Mandy is actually the hardest one you could have chosen,

0:24:08 > 0:24:09so pointless answer.

0:24:09 > 0:24:14- I knew it!- Do you know Randy Mandy? - It's Dick Emery.- It's Dick Emery.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17- "Oh, you are awful! But I like you."- Yes, exactly right.

0:24:17 > 0:24:22- Pointless, very well done it you got that at home. Lauren Cooper, do know that?- That's Catherine Tate.

0:24:22 > 0:24:29Yes, that's the "Am I bovvered?" Lauren. 32 points. Mrs Overall?

0:24:29 > 0:24:32- Is Julie Walters. - Julie Walters. Exactly right.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35- Would have scored 12. And Fred Scuttle.- Don't know.- Benny Hill.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38Would have scored five points. Well done if you got all of those.

0:24:38 > 0:24:40OK, halfway through the round,

0:24:40 > 0:24:44let's take a look at the scores as they stand. Helen and Barney, the best score of the pass, 39.

0:24:44 > 0:24:48Up to 41, where Paul and Tina are.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50And right up to 100, where we find Erin and Anton.

0:24:50 > 0:24:54So, Anton, you're going to have to work very hard.

0:24:54 > 0:24:58We can come back down, can the second players please take their places on the podium?

0:25:01 > 0:25:04OK, we have six more comedy characters on the board,

0:25:04 > 0:25:05and here they are.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15I'll read those all one more time.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24Now, remember, you are looking for the comedians who played

0:25:24 > 0:25:28these characters, and obviously, trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31- Anton.- No pressure.- Thanks, Erin.

0:25:32 > 0:25:40It is been a while since he's been on, but Sid Snot.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42- Go on.- I think it was Kenny Everett, wasn't it?

0:25:42 > 0:25:45Kenny Everett, Sid Snot, says Anton, let's see if it was,

0:25:45 > 0:25:47and if so let's see how many people said Kenny Everett?

0:25:57 > 0:26:00Very, very well done. That's a great answer.

0:26:00 > 0:26:03A lovely low score of 14, takes your total to 114,

0:26:03 > 0:26:07I wonder if it's enough to save you for the end of this round. Richard.

0:26:07 > 0:26:11Well played. Very good effort. Absolutely, Kenny Everett.

0:26:11 > 0:26:13Thank you very much. Now, Tina.

0:26:13 > 0:26:17You are on 41, the highest scorers, 114,

0:26:17 > 0:26:20Anton and Erin. If you can score 72 or less...

0:26:20 > 0:26:24- See, I knew that!- Did you? - Yes, I knew that.

0:26:24 > 0:26:28Vicky Pollard is too obvious. I've never heard of Bluebottle.

0:26:28 > 0:26:32I'm going to go for Loadsamoney, which I think is Harry Enfield.

0:26:32 > 0:26:35Loadsamoney, Harry Enfield, you're saying, here's your red line.

0:26:35 > 0:26:39If you get below that red line, you're definitely through to the head to head.

0:26:39 > 0:26:43Loadsamoney, Harry Enfield, is it right, how many people said it?

0:26:44 > 0:26:46- Is it?- It's right.

0:26:46 > 0:26:49You've done it! Very well done.

0:26:52 > 0:26:57Very well done, takes your total up to 71. Richard.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00Well played, Tina, safely through. Had a Top Ten hit as well.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03They killed him off in a Comic Relief sketch.

0:27:03 > 0:27:06Now, Barney. Listen, the highest scorers are Anton and Erin on 114.

0:27:06 > 0:27:10If you can score 74 or less, 74 or less,

0:27:10 > 0:27:13no one has scored that high, unless it was wrong so far.

0:27:13 > 0:27:16Do you know when you convince yourself that you know the answer

0:27:16 > 0:27:18and you convince yourself that you don't know the answer?

0:27:18 > 0:27:21Trust your original instinct, I would say.

0:27:21 > 0:27:25- Unless it's wrong, in which case, don't trust it. - Good tip there, Richard.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28- I trust you.- Oh, don't!

0:27:28 > 0:27:33- I know it's not a two-way street, but I trust you!- I trust you.

0:27:33 > 0:27:36We all trust him, don't we?

0:27:36 > 0:27:41I tell you what, Barney, I trust you as well. A lot of trust in the room, Barney.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44I just hope that...

0:27:44 > 0:27:51- She's the only one I know.- OK. So, you're going to say?- Matt Lucas.

0:27:51 > 0:27:52Matt Lucas for?

0:27:52 > 0:27:56- Vicky Pollard.- Vicky Pollard. OK. Matt Lucas for Vicky Pollard.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59This is going to be interesting. Here's your red line.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01I can't watch again!

0:28:01 > 0:28:05If you can get below that red line, you are through to the next round.

0:28:05 > 0:28:09OK, let's see if Vicky Pollard, Matt Lucas, is right.

0:28:09 > 0:28:12And if it is, let's see how many people said it. Good luck.

0:28:15 > 0:28:19- It was right.- You have done it! Yes!- Very well done indeed.

0:28:19 > 0:28:2460 takes the total up to 99. You're through to the head to head.

0:28:24 > 0:28:26Very well done indeed.

0:28:26 > 0:28:29Yes, it is the biggest score on either board by a mile,

0:28:29 > 0:28:33but Helen did such a good job on the first round, it was safe for you to do so.

0:28:33 > 0:28:37Let's go through the rest. Theophilus P Wildebeeste is Lenny Henry.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39Lenny Henry would have scored you five points.

0:28:39 > 0:28:43Bluebottle is from the Goons, it's Peter Sellers.

0:28:43 > 0:28:48- EL Wisty is the best answer on the board.- It's Peter Cook.- Peter Cook, exactly right, one point,

0:28:48 > 0:28:50so very well done if you'd said that.

0:28:50 > 0:28:52Thank you very much, Richard, at the end of round two,

0:28:52 > 0:28:56the losing celebrity pair with the highest score, Erin and Anton.

0:28:56 > 0:28:58- I'm sorry!- Really?!

0:28:58 > 0:29:01Did you know any of those? After Richard had told us the answers?

0:29:01 > 0:29:05- I knew all of the second board. - Really?- No.- Really?

0:29:05 > 0:29:09It's been brilliant having you on the show.

0:29:09 > 0:29:12Anton and Erin, thank you so much. Excellent sports.

0:29:12 > 0:29:16For the remaining two celebrity pairs, things are about to get even more exciting

0:29:16 > 0:29:18as we enter the head to head.

0:29:25 > 0:29:27Very well done, Tina and Paul.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29Barney and Helen, you've made it through to the head to head.

0:29:29 > 0:29:32Now, quite obviously, only one pair can make it to today's final

0:29:32 > 0:29:36and play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £2,750.

0:29:41 > 0:29:43Now, here's how the head to head works.

0:29:43 > 0:29:46For each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer,

0:29:46 > 0:29:49but you're allowed to confer. You have to come up with an answer

0:29:49 > 0:29:53that scores less than the other pair and you will win that question.

0:29:53 > 0:29:57The first to win two questions will play for today's jackpot. Let's play Pointless.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04OK, here's your first question.

0:30:04 > 0:30:12We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Foreign Secretaries since 1980 as they could.

0:30:12 > 0:30:15Foreign Secretaries since 1980. Richard.

0:30:15 > 0:30:21We're looking for any British Foreign Secretary from 1980 up to the beginning of May 2011, please.

0:30:21 > 0:30:23OK, thank you very much indeed.

0:30:23 > 0:30:27Now, Tina and Paul, you played best throughout the show so far, so you go first.

0:30:27 > 0:30:29- Thank you.- How long have we got?

0:30:29 > 0:30:32- You've got two hours max.- Right.

0:30:32 > 0:30:33Erm...

0:30:33 > 0:30:35- (What shall we do?) - (I can't think of one.)

0:30:35 > 0:30:39We've gone...we've gone completely blank.

0:30:39 > 0:30:41This is a horrible question.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43I thought Francis Pym

0:30:43 > 0:30:46but I think he was in the 19th century or something.

0:30:46 > 0:30:48LAUGHTER

0:30:48 > 0:30:50We're going to get ridiculed in every pub quiz

0:30:50 > 0:30:53that we walk into and say Ed Miliband.

0:30:53 > 0:30:57You're going to say Ed Miliband? OK, Tina and Paul say Ed Miliband.

0:30:57 > 0:30:59Now, Barney and Helen.

0:30:59 > 0:31:02- I think that's the obvious one, isn't it, really?- Jack Straw.

0:31:02 > 0:31:05You're going to say Jack Straw, OK. We have Ed Miliband and Jack Straw.

0:31:05 > 0:31:08Tina and Paul say Ed Miliband. Let's see if that's right,

0:31:08 > 0:31:10and how many people said Ed Miliband.

0:31:13 > 0:31:15Bad luck.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19Barney and Helen, you are saying Jack Straw.

0:31:19 > 0:31:21All it has to be is correct.

0:31:22 > 0:31:26If it's correct, it wins you the point. Jack Straw, is it right?

0:31:28 > 0:31:29Yep, it is.

0:31:29 > 0:31:31Very well done.

0:31:31 > 0:31:33How right is it?

0:31:34 > 0:31:35It's 20 right.

0:31:35 > 0:31:37It's 20 right.

0:31:37 > 0:31:43Very well done, Barney and Helen. after the first question, you are ahead, 1-0. Richard.

0:31:43 > 0:31:46Yeah, very well played. No Ed Miliband but David Miliband.

0:31:46 > 0:31:51If you'd said Francis Pym, not only WAS he a Foreign Secretary under Margaret Thatcher,

0:31:51 > 0:31:52it was a Pointless answer.

0:31:52 > 0:31:54AUDIENCE SIGH

0:31:54 > 0:31:59It was the best answer you could have given. But you stand under lights and all that and, you know what,

0:31:59 > 0:32:03Francis Pym could be any century. Let's look at the answers. There's two Pointless ones.

0:32:03 > 0:32:08Francis Pym being one of them, Malcolm Rifkind the other one under John Major.

0:32:08 > 0:32:11Margaret Beckett was Foreign Secretary under Blair. Would have scored you one.

0:32:11 > 0:32:16Lord Carrington would have scored you two, as would Geoffrey Howe. John Major, of course,

0:32:16 > 0:32:20would have scored you three. Robin Cook, eight, Douglas Hurd, nine,

0:32:20 > 0:32:24David Miliband, 9, Jack Straw, 20 and William Hague on 30.

0:32:24 > 0:32:27OK, here's your second question.

0:32:27 > 0:32:30Tina and Paul, you have to win this question to stay in the game. Here it comes.

0:32:30 > 0:32:33We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name

0:32:33 > 0:32:37as many England penalty shoot-out losers as they could.

0:32:37 > 0:32:39England penalty shoot-out losers, Richard.

0:32:39 > 0:32:45Looking for any England player who has missed a penalty or has had their penalty saved in a penalty shoot-out

0:32:45 > 0:32:50in any FIFA World Cup or European Championships from 1976 up to 2010.

0:32:50 > 0:32:52OK, very good indeed.

0:32:52 > 0:32:55Now then, Barney and Helen, you go first this time.

0:32:55 > 0:32:56I've got three.

0:32:56 > 0:32:58Who do you think?

0:32:58 > 0:33:01- Don't say them out loud. - No, tell me.

0:33:01 > 0:33:04THEY WHISPER TO EACH OTHER

0:33:04 > 0:33:09- The last one's dead famous. - Yes. I think go... I think go...

0:33:09 > 0:33:13The first one's right, definitely right. Third one's definitely right.

0:33:13 > 0:33:16Second one, I can see the shot in my head.

0:33:16 > 0:33:20- Right, Barney, what are you going to give me?- Stuart Pearce.

0:33:20 > 0:33:24Stuart Pearce, OK, there we are. Stuart Pearce, say Barney and Helen.

0:33:24 > 0:33:27Now then, Tina and Paul, you can confer out loud.

0:33:27 > 0:33:29Let's go with...

0:33:29 > 0:33:33- Southgate. Southgate, yes? Let's do that, shall we?- Yes.

0:33:33 > 0:33:36- God, I'm so nervous.- So am I. Fingers crossed.

0:33:36 > 0:33:39Gareth Southgate, you say. We have Stuart Pearce and Gareth Southgate.

0:33:39 > 0:33:43Barney and Helen, you are saying Stuart Pearce.

0:33:43 > 0:33:46Let's see if that's right and how many people said Stuart Pearce.

0:33:47 > 0:33:48It's right.

0:33:50 > 0:33:52How low is it going to go?

0:33:54 > 0:33:5623.

0:33:58 > 0:34:01- What do you think, Helen and Barney? Happy with that?- Happy with that.

0:34:01 > 0:34:06- 23, is that going to be enough, do you think, to win this point?- Yes.

0:34:06 > 0:34:11- Southgate did a pizza advert on the back of it.- Don't speak too soon!

0:34:11 > 0:34:14Tina and Paul have gone for Gareth Southgate. Let's see if that's right,

0:34:14 > 0:34:17and let's see if It'll go lower than Stuart Pearce on 23.

0:34:17 > 0:34:21Gareth Southgate, is it right and how many people said it?

0:34:24 > 0:34:26It's right.

0:34:29 > 0:34:31- Oh!- Oh!- Not bad.

0:34:31 > 0:34:33APPLAUSE

0:34:34 > 0:34:38It was the pizza ad that did it. Very well done.

0:34:38 > 0:34:42Well, that means Helen and Barney win that and after only two questions,

0:34:42 > 0:34:44Helen and Barney are through to the final, 2-0.

0:34:44 > 0:34:48Yeah, very well played Helen and Barney. That's tough luck, Paul and Tina.

0:34:48 > 0:34:52Sorry about that. Let's take a look at all the answers. There's a pointless answer up there.

0:34:52 > 0:34:56In Euro 2004, Darius Vassell missed against Portugal.

0:34:56 > 0:35:01Paul Ince missed in the 1998 World Cup against Argentina. Ince would have scored you one.

0:35:01 > 0:35:05Jamie Carragher missed in 2006 World Cup finals against Portugal.

0:35:05 > 0:35:08Gerard missed in that same shoot-out. Would have scored you four.

0:35:08 > 0:35:13Lampard also in that same shoot-out, six. Then David Batty, seven.

0:35:13 > 0:35:15He was 98 against Argentina.

0:35:15 > 0:35:20There's Waddle, 21, that was the World Cup semi-final in 1990.

0:35:20 > 0:35:26Stuart Pearce missed in the same match, 23. David Beckham, 25, that was against Portugal in 2004,

0:35:26 > 0:35:30and Gareth Southgate actually the top answer of all.

0:35:30 > 0:35:32- Oh!- Thank you very much, Richard.

0:35:32 > 0:35:36- So, the losing pair at the end of the head to head is Tina and Paul.- Hooray!

0:35:36 > 0:35:38Oh, dear.

0:35:43 > 0:35:46- Francis Pym, Paul? - I know, I know.- More courage.

0:35:46 > 0:35:50I got thrown by the 1980 and I thought he was earlier.

0:35:50 > 0:35:54Lord Carrington as well. Now you think about it, see, he was there.

0:35:54 > 0:35:58- And William Hague. - I know, so embarrassing.

0:35:58 > 0:36:01No, no, it's just harder under the spotlight. Well, I hope you've had fun.

0:36:01 > 0:36:05I'm sorry we haven't served you better with questions.

0:36:05 > 0:36:09It's been such a pleasure having you on the show, Tina and Paul, brilliant contestants.

0:36:09 > 0:36:10Thank you so much.

0:36:10 > 0:36:13APPLAUSE

0:36:14 > 0:36:18But for Helen and Barney, it's time for our Pointless final

0:36:18 > 0:36:20and the chance to win our jackpot of £2,750.

0:36:20 > 0:36:22APPLAUSE

0:36:26 > 0:36:28Now, congratulations, Barney and Helen.

0:36:28 > 0:36:34You've fought off the competition and won our the Pointless trophy, so very, very well done.

0:36:34 > 0:36:36APPLAUSE

0:36:38 > 0:36:41You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot for your charities.

0:36:41 > 0:36:45At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,750.

0:36:45 > 0:36:47APPLAUSE

0:36:50 > 0:36:54The rules are simple. To win, all you have to do is find a pointless answer,

0:36:54 > 0:36:57that's an answer that none of our 100 people could think of.

0:36:57 > 0:37:01We have had one Pointless answer on the show so far. You only have to find one more now

0:37:01 > 0:37:05and you'll go home with that money. First, choose a category

0:37:05 > 0:37:08and you can choose from these three options. Here they come.

0:37:13 > 0:37:18I think Olympians would be an obvious one cos lots of people know Olympians,

0:37:18 > 0:37:21but Canadian divas has surely got to be a small category, hasn't it?

0:37:21 > 0:37:25Do we know any Canadian divas?

0:37:25 > 0:37:27- Mariah Carey.- Is she Canadian?- No.

0:37:27 > 0:37:30LAUGHTER

0:37:30 > 0:37:31Celine Dion, is she Canadian?

0:37:31 > 0:37:34Let's hope it's a question about Celine Dion.

0:37:34 > 0:37:36Shall we do award winners?

0:37:36 > 0:37:41- Award winners is a pretty broad subject.- Let's do it.- Yeah? Let's do award winners, please.

0:37:41 > 0:37:44Award winners it is. OK, here it comes.

0:37:44 > 0:37:48We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many

0:37:48 > 0:37:51winners of the Rear of the Year award as they could.

0:37:51 > 0:37:53Richard.

0:37:53 > 0:37:55We are looking for any winner, male or female,

0:37:55 > 0:38:00of the Rear of the Year award right through from 1976 to 2010.

0:38:00 > 0:38:03You have up to one minute to get three answers.

0:38:03 > 0:38:06All you need to win £2,750 for your nominated charities

0:38:06 > 0:38:09is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:38:09 > 0:38:1160 seconds starts now.

0:38:11 > 0:38:14- Claire Sweeney won it.- OK. - I think Kerry Katona won it.

0:38:14 > 0:38:19- Charlotte Church won it.- Naturally. - Didn't Christine Bleakley win it?

0:38:19 > 0:38:23I have no idea. I'm not a bottom man, I'm afraid.

0:38:23 > 0:38:26Don't carry on that sentence!

0:38:26 > 0:38:30- I'm actually on a website for the Rear of the Year. My grandma sent it me.- What?

0:38:30 > 0:38:33- Why is your grandma on that site? - She follows what I do.

0:38:33 > 0:38:35LAUGHTER

0:38:35 > 0:38:40- OK, three people who have won it people wouldn't have mentioned. - It's all you, I'm afraid.

0:38:40 > 0:38:44- I haven't a clue.- Who would have won it that people wouldn't think so?

0:38:44 > 0:38:49- Someone ironic?- Matt Lucas. - Oh, this is ridiculous.- It might be something as daft as that, though.

0:38:49 > 0:38:52Matt Lucas might have got it as an ironic award one year.

0:38:52 > 0:38:55He's got a pretty nice rear.

0:38:55 > 0:39:01I think... Oh, see, don't look at the countdown.

0:39:01 > 0:39:06- Are you really on it?- I'm on a website. I don't know if it's the same thing.- You won it?- No.

0:39:06 > 0:39:09- Five seconds. - Have I got to give you...

0:39:09 > 0:39:12OK, right, we've got three.

0:39:12 > 0:39:13OK, there's your time up.

0:39:13 > 0:39:17We were looking for winners of Rear of the Year. So let's have your three answers.

0:39:17 > 0:39:21- Claire Sweeney won it. - Claire Sweeney.

0:39:21 > 0:39:24- Charlotte Church won it. - Charlotte Church.

0:39:24 > 0:39:27Let's do Peter Andre, stick him in there.

0:39:27 > 0:39:29- Peter Andre.- Peter Andre, OK.

0:39:29 > 0:39:35Now, of those three, which do you think is your most confident shot at a pointless answer?

0:39:35 > 0:39:39- Claire Sweeney.- OK, she goes last. Which is your least likely?

0:39:39 > 0:39:43- Peter Andre, I don't think he won it.- OK, we'll put him first.

0:39:43 > 0:39:46We are going to put them up on the board in that order and here they are.

0:39:51 > 0:39:55There they are. We were looking for winners of Rear of the Year.

0:39:55 > 0:39:58You said this was your least confident answer.

0:39:58 > 0:40:02You only have to find one pointless answer to win that £2,750 jackpot for your charities.

0:40:02 > 0:40:07Peter Andre, let's see, is it right? How many people said Peter Andre?

0:40:07 > 0:40:10Very best of luck, Barney and Helen.

0:40:13 > 0:40:15No Rear, he, of the Year. So not a pointless answer.

0:40:15 > 0:40:18- Maybe next year.- Yeah.

0:40:18 > 0:40:21You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.

0:40:21 > 0:40:24What charity will your money be going towards, Helen?

0:40:24 > 0:40:28My half will be going to Leonard Cheshire Disability.

0:40:28 > 0:40:31- Brilliant charity, very good. Barney?- Mine is the Alzheimer's Society.

0:40:31 > 0:40:33Splendid.

0:40:33 > 0:40:38OK. Now then, your next answer is Charlotte Church.

0:40:38 > 0:40:42You're confident, you're pretty sure she won. Have you seen a picture of her going, "Ha ha!"?

0:40:42 > 0:40:46Yeah, I seem to remember a picture of her in jeans, yeah.

0:40:46 > 0:40:52This has to be pointless if you're going to win that jackpot of £2,750 for your charities.

0:40:52 > 0:40:55Let's see how many people said Charlotte Church. Is it right?

0:40:55 > 0:40:56Charlotte Church - good luck.

0:40:58 > 0:41:02It's right. That was the first thing it had to be.

0:41:02 > 0:41:05The second thing it has to be is pointless, so if this goes all the way down

0:41:05 > 0:41:08you will be leaving here with that jackpot money.

0:41:10 > 0:41:12Oh!

0:41:12 > 0:41:16For a second there I thought it was going to go all the way down.

0:41:16 > 0:41:19So 14 remembered Charlotte Church,

0:41:19 > 0:41:22but how many people are going to remember Claire Sweeney?

0:41:22 > 0:41:25- Not many.- Let's hope she definitely won it. I'm sure she did.

0:41:25 > 0:41:28Only one more shot at that jackpot.

0:41:28 > 0:41:31£2,750 for your charities is riding on this.

0:41:31 > 0:41:36Everything on Claire Sweeney. It has to be right and it has to be pointless.

0:41:36 > 0:41:40Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said Claire Sweeney.

0:41:42 > 0:41:46It's right. We went down to 14 for Charlotte Church.

0:41:46 > 0:41:49Claire Sweeney has to take it all the way down to zero,

0:41:49 > 0:41:53and if she does, your charities will be £2,750 richer.

0:41:53 > 0:41:56Down it goes. Oh!

0:42:00 > 0:42:03- Well played. - I'm sorry I couldn't help you.

0:42:03 > 0:42:07Well, you played a blinder there. Fantastic. Brilliant answers.

0:42:07 > 0:42:11Think how pleased you'd be with that in normal game play. That would be fantastic.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13Unfortunately, Barney and Helen,

0:42:13 > 0:42:16you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,

0:42:16 > 0:42:19so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,750.

0:42:19 > 0:42:25- But you do take home our Pointless Trophy, so at least there's that. - Thank you.

0:42:28 > 0:42:29So, Richard...

0:42:29 > 0:42:32So sorry, Barney and Helen, you played so well throughout.

0:42:32 > 0:42:38It's been great fun having you. Let's look at some of the pointless answers that could have won you the money.

0:42:38 > 0:42:43Anita Dobson, who won in the same year as Sue Pollard. They shared that prize.

0:42:43 > 0:42:47Elaine Paige, Gary Barlow won it in 1997.

0:42:47 > 0:42:51Ian Wright won it. Marina Ogilvy, the first royal to win Rear of the Year.

0:42:51 > 0:42:53Michael Barrymore won it.

0:42:53 > 0:42:56Russell Watson won Rear of the Year, as did Sarah Lancashire.

0:42:56 > 0:43:00And there's Sue Pollard. I'd say well done if you got any of those.

0:43:00 > 0:43:02I'd also ask, "How did you get any of those?"

0:43:02 > 0:43:04That is a tough one.

0:43:04 > 0:43:06We do have to say goodbye to you, Barney and Helen,

0:43:06 > 0:43:08but thank you for playing.

0:43:08 > 0:43:11Barney and Helen - brilliant, brilliant contestants.

0:43:13 > 0:43:15And huge thanks to our other celebrities -

0:43:15 > 0:43:18Julia and John, Erin and Anton, and Tina and Paul.

0:43:20 > 0:43:25Nobody's won our jackpot today, so to thank our celebrities for taking part

0:43:25 > 0:43:29we're going to donate £500 to each pair for their respective charities.

0:43:31 > 0:43:36- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
