0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Thank you very much. I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Welcome to a special celebrity edition of Pointless,
0:00:34 > 0:00:37the quiz that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Every question has been asked to 100 people before the show.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43To be in with a chance of winning our jackpot,
0:00:43 > 0:00:47our celebrities need the answers that the fewest of 100 people could remember.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Let's meet our Pointless celebrities.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52APPLAUSE
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And first up we welcome Michael and Sarah.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59CHEERING
0:01:04 > 0:01:07You're both well-known TV presenters but also good friends.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Sarah, you've presented Top Of The Pops.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Music, surely, you're going to have this one absolutely sewn up.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Well, one would hope but it depends what kind of music,
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- because you only know it if you know it.- That's true.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- You must have picked stuff up. - So pop music now, I'm a bit old for.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- Really?- I could be a bit lost there. - I'm in trouble.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30But if you ask me about Blur and Oasis, I'll be fine.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33And Michael, you're an entertainment presenter.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Yeah, I've done loads of that, interviewing film stars and stuff.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Film is my thing, definitely.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Who's your favourite interviewee of all time?
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Oh, er...
0:01:43 > 0:01:48Probably Tom Hanks. He's made some amazing films, it was fantastic chatting to him.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50And Jennifer Lopez.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Well, it's lovely having you here. Best of luck to the pair of you.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Now, next we welcome Eamonn and Charlotte.- Thank you.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58CHEERING
0:02:03 > 0:02:07We know you as a team from Sunrise on Sky News
0:02:07 > 0:02:11but you've done so much, haven't you, between the pair of you?
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Eamonn, you've hosted quizzes. Do you remember any of the answers?
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Well, I remember once on Jet Set, this woman got to the final
0:02:20 > 0:02:23and I would say, "Mary, this for the Jet Set.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27"What bird is on the flag of Mexico?"
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- Anybody know the answer?- An eagle.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34You say an eagle. She said Jennifer Lopez.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43- Charlotte, how long have you been working together?- Five years, now, doing the breakfast show.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- It just seems longer. - A lot of early mornings, though.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51- A lot. What time do you have to be in?- I get up at quarter past three,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53so that's quite an early start.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- Then we get in, get ready, go on air at six o'clock.- Yeah.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- Wow.- Anything can happen in those three hours,
0:02:59 > 0:03:03so we reckon nothing's going to be a problem to us here tonight.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07World events, wars, despots, politics - we've got it covered.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- We'll do it all.- It all goes in... - No problem.- ..and then we never remember it again.- And out.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15It's lovely having you here. Best of luck to you.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- And next we welcome Sam and Mark! - Hello.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- CHEERING - Come on. More.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Ah! Sam and Mark, welcome to the show.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Now, you first met on Pop Idol years ago.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Eight years ago.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- You must have been children. - I was. You're a bit older than me.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42I'm not that much older than you.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- Sam, you've got a band. - Yes.- I believe they're called Mason.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Yes. Just for fun. Bit of a hobby back home.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- How long have you been doing that for?- For about three years.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- Just to keep my hand in with the music.- Keep your hand in.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- Music could be a good topic for me. - And you both present a radio show.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04We try to. We just talk nonsense for two hours.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08- Do you remember stuff about records, though?- Not at all.- Oh, we do.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09No, we're not too bad.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14I think music, probably for both of us, it's the one we'll be all right at.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- I think.- Oh, don't say that. - I've bigged that up, haven't I? - Well, we'll see.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- Well, lovely to have you here. - Thank you.- Very best of luck.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25And finally, we've got Tom and Denise.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27CHEERS
0:04:30 > 0:04:35Tom, one of our best-loved entertainers, Denise, one of our best-loved athletes.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Who, I wonder out there knows
0:04:37 > 0:04:39that you are father-in-law and daughter-in-law?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Not many people, I wouldn't have thought.- Right.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Tom, you've been in my position many, many, many times.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48You've hosted numerous quiz shows.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- How often have you been on that side of the podium?- Not very often.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56The problem, as you probably realise, is that people assume you know the answers.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I did 18 years of a show called Crosswits,
0:04:59 > 0:05:00a crossword puzzle show.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02And I was on a train trying to do a crossword
0:05:02 > 0:05:06and a smart aleck drunk came up and he said, "If it's any help to you,
0:05:06 > 0:05:08"7-Up's lemonade."
0:05:11 > 0:05:12It's a problem.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Now, Denise, you've travelled the world with athletics,
0:05:15 > 0:05:18so I'm expecting geography to be quite a strong suit for you.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I'm hoping so. I've been to some fabulous countries,
0:05:21 > 0:05:24both in Europe and Asia.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27So I'm hoping geography, sports...
0:05:27 > 0:05:30She's very strong on Albanian mythology, as well.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- Sh!- That could be the winner.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Anyway, Tom and Denise, very best of luck to you.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39APPLAUSE
0:05:41 > 0:05:45We look forward to discovering all your hidden knowledge.
0:05:45 > 0:05:51There's only one person left for me to introduce, he's my Pointless friend, he's Richard.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Hiya. APPLAUSE
0:05:55 > 0:06:00- Hello, there. Good afternoon to you. - How are you?- I'm extremely well.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02- Should be a lot of fun, shouldn't it? - Yeah.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- I like all of our pairs today... - So do I.- ..I have to say
0:06:06 > 0:06:08but especially, come on, Tom and Denise.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- Two legends.- Yes! - APPLAUSE
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Two legends.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18Of our other pairs, Sam and Mark, they act, do they not, like buffoons
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- a lot of the time but... - Fair comment. Fair comment.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25..I happen to know for a fact they are both geniuses,
0:06:25 > 0:06:29so they're going to be absolutely awesome in this show, I suspect.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34- The rest might as well go home now. - See you. See you.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36OK, well, thank you very much, Richard.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39We put all our questions to 100 people but this is Pointless,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41so we are after the obscure answers.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46To stay in the game, our celebrities need to score as few points as they can.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:06:48 > 0:06:51an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Each time that happens we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59As each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity,
0:06:59 > 0:07:03we will start off the jackpot this afternoon at £2,500.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04APPLAUSE
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- Right, let's play Pointless. - CHEERS
0:07:16 > 0:07:18In the first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:07:18 > 0:07:21and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25The team with the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28OK, our first category this afternoon is:
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Decide who's going to go first and who's going to go second.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:07:42 > 0:07:47to name as many flightless birds as they could.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Richard?
0:07:48 > 0:07:52The correct answers on the boards will be birds either alive or extinct
0:07:52 > 0:07:54that cannot or do not fly.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56The incorrect answers won't be birds at all.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Just to make it easy.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Is that OK?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Look at Sam and Mark pretending to be buffoons, again.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08OK, now, Michael and Sarah, you all drew lots before the show -
0:08:08 > 0:08:11you get to go first.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15You'll be delighted to hear that we're going to give you a choice of seven possible answers
0:08:15 > 0:08:17for each pass.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Your first set of seven answers reads like this.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31I'll read those all one more time.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42I can tell you at least one of those answers is pointless
0:08:42 > 0:08:44but at least one is incorrect.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Pick an incorrect one and you will score 100 points.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51What do you think, Michael?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- I'm going to go for the Fidrych. - The Fidrych.- The Fidrych.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Of course!- It's a beautiful species.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said fidrych.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- HE GROANS - Oh, no! There goes beginner's luck.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- That is disaster.- I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:09:10 > 0:09:14which means you've scored the maximum 100 points.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15That's fine.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Sorry, Michael. I'm afraid Mark "The Bird" Fidrych is a baseball player.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20- Oh!- Sorry.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24OK, now, Charlotte. Flightless birds.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28I'm going to have a bit of a guess
0:09:28 > 0:09:32but hopefully not as much of a guess as Michael's guess.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36So I'm going to go for the Junin grebe.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Junin grebe.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42It's right!
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Well done, Charlotte, I've a feeling it's going a long way down.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- And it does! That's brilliant. - CHEERING
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Well done, Charlotte, that's a pointless answer
0:09:55 > 0:09:57and that adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:09:57 > 0:10:01which takes it up to £2,750 and it scores you nothing.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Very well done indeed.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Very good answer, Charlotte. A great start.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08It's native to just one lake in central Peru.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12It's estimated there are only 100 Junin grebe left in the whole world,
0:10:12 > 0:10:14so I would hurry up if you want to shoot one.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Now, then, Sam, what are you thinking? Flightless birds.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29It's not one of my strong points, flightless birds,
0:10:29 > 0:10:33but I think I'm going to go with dodo
0:10:33 > 0:10:36because I believe that they're now extinct
0:10:36 > 0:10:39and I believe that they're extinct because people ate them
0:10:39 > 0:10:42and they tasted rubbish, so they were a rubbish bird,
0:10:42 > 0:10:45so they probably can't fly because they're that rubbish.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47That's my theory.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49See, I told you. Genius.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Genius.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54I'm sorry, dude.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58You're trying to score as few points as possible, Sam,
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- and you've gone for dodo.- Yeah.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04OK, let's see if dodo's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08It's right.
0:11:09 > 0:11:1163.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19- 63 for dodo, Sam.- Very well played, Sam. It's better than 100, isn't it?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Yeah.- An extinct bird of Mauritius,
0:11:22 > 0:11:24first seen in 1507 by Portuguese sailors
0:11:24 > 0:11:28and completely extinct about 150 years later.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Denise, remember, we're looking for flightless birds.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Ha... I'm going to go for cassowary.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said cassowary.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Very good luck, Denise.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41It's right.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Down it goes.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Six! Very well done, indeed, Denise.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Cassowary, a great answer, scores you six.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Very well played, Denise, a great answer to end that pass with.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- They can kill humans, cassowaries. - Get out of town.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03No, they can.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04With what?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- They've got large, slashing feet. - What, with their feet?- Yeah.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- They can kill with their feet. - They slash...?- Yeah.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- Oh, my God, there's one now! - No! Where?
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- That wasn't a cassowary. - That was no cassowary.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Let's go through the rest of the board.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Ostrich. You did very well to avoid it, Denise. It scored 75 points.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Kiwi, also a flightless bird, would have scored you 28.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31Calayan rail. Do you think that's a pointless answer or is it incorrect?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33I think it's a pointless answer.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37You are absolutely right. It was discovered accidentally in 2004.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- Accidentally?- Yeah.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Isn't that what a discovery is?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49APPLAUSE
0:12:52 > 0:12:56A pointless answer. Well done if you said that or the Junin grebe.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Thank you very much, Richard. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Charlotte and Eamonn, the best possible score, there - nothing.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05We go up to six for Denise and Tom,
0:13:05 > 0:13:09then up quite a long way to 63, where we find Sam and Mark,
0:13:09 > 0:13:13and then, I'm afraid, all the way up to the very top,
0:13:13 > 0:13:15where we find Michael and Sarah on 100.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20OK, we're going to come back down the line. Can the second players please take their places?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24We've got seven more answers.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28We're looking for flightless birds and we have got:
0:13:36 > 0:13:39I'm going to read those one more time.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46At least one of those answers is pointless
0:13:46 > 0:13:48and at least one of those answers is incorrect.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50An incorrect one will score 100 points.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Tom, you're on 6, the high scorers are Sarah and Michael on 100.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57If you can score 93 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59I'm confident of this next one.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01I know half of these people.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06I'm going to go for emu.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Emu.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10If you come below that red line,
0:14:10 > 0:14:12you are definitely through to the next round.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Is it right and how many people said it?
0:14:17 > 0:14:18It is right and you've done it.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Very well done. 66 points. That takes your total up to 72.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Well played. That's exactly the right tactic. You're safely through.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32It can run up to 30mph, an emu.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Mark.- Hello.- You're on 63.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38The high scorers on 100 are Sarah and Michael,
0:14:38 > 0:14:40that means if you can score 36 or less,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42you are through to the next round.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I want to go for kakapo.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Kakapo.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Because it makes me laugh.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Kakapo. Is it right and how many people said it?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Yes, it's right. Very well done, Mark.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01And you're through to the next round.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03And it's pointless! Look at that!
0:15:04 > 0:15:09That's a fabulous answer. It adds another £250 to today's jackpot.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11It takes the total up to £3,000.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14It scores you nothing, Mark, and it leaves your total at 63.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Very well done.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18I need a kakapo after that.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- Whoo!- Very well played, Mark.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27The kakapo is a very tame, very endangered, very cute bird from New Zealand.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30There we are. Eamonn, you're on absolutely nothing.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Sarah and Michael are on 100.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36If you can score 99 or less, you will get through.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37That's enough to get you through
0:15:37 > 0:15:40but that will bruise your pride, I think.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45Indeed. Now, rhea is either a flightless bird
0:15:45 > 0:15:48or it's the man that made that record Road To Hell
0:15:48 > 0:15:53and we're going to find out what road I'm going on right now with rhea.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Let's see if rhea's right and if it is, how many people said rhea.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00It's right. Very well done, Eamonn.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Down it goes to 17.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- I knew that.- That's a great answer, Eamonn.- Everybody knows that.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13That scores you 17. It takes your total to 17.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- You're through to the next round. - Well played.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17The rhea is native to South America.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20It's sometimes called the pampas ostrich.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Thank you very much, Richard.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26- Sarah.- Yeah.- You're the high scorers and you haven't even answered yet.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30I bet there's another pointless answer. Find it and that's your legacy.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- Yeah but what happens if I get the wrong answer?- Your legacy.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Because then we really are rubbish.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39You're only as rubbish as me, so that would be fine.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- You can't do worse than I did. - They look like footballers.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47I'm going to go with... He sounds like a composer, maybe. Wahrer, at the top.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- I can't even say it. - Wahrer.- Yeah.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54I can take my shoes off in moments, though, which is brilliant because they're hurting me.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Wahrer. Is it right and how many people said it?
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- Oh, no! - GROANS
0:17:04 > 0:17:05It's all right.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10- Yes, unfortunately... - Excuse me, can I get my coat?
0:17:10 > 0:17:15- Have you called the taxi?- You have scored the maximum of 100 points.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17You have joined that select and august body,
0:17:17 > 0:17:19the Pointless 200 Club.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- Richard.- Ah, that's very unlucky. I'm sorry.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- Unlucky or just rubbish? - Do you know what? Unlucky.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28We'll go with that, we'll go with that.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Do you know the song Surfin' Bird?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- # Everybody's heard about... # That one?- Yeah.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38- That's sung by Steve Wahrer. He was the singer of that song. - Really?- Of the Trashmen.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43If you'd said takahe, you'd have just added £250 to the jackpot
0:17:43 > 0:17:45because that is a pointless answer.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48The weka is a flightless bird from New Zealand.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Actinidia is actually the Latin name for the kiwi fruit. Actinidia.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- Well, there you are.- As Sam and Mark would have both told you.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Yeah.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02Thanks, Richard. So at the end of round one, the losing pair are Michael and Sarah.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Oh, dear. You've gone out with a bang, I have to say.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Haven't we, though?- If you're going to lose, lose big.- Yeah.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- That's what we said before we came in.- Yeah.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14If we're going to lose, let's do it big.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16It's honourable to go out with a big score
0:18:16 > 0:18:20because it means you've got into the spirit of the game and taken risks
0:18:20 > 0:18:23and you've nearly done brilliantly, you've just...
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Very good. Michael and Sarah, thank you so much for joining us
0:18:27 > 0:18:31for this special celebrity edition. It's been lovely. Michael and Sarah.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34CHEERING
0:18:34 > 0:18:38But for the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Now there's only going to be room for two celebrity pairs in the head to head,
0:18:49 > 0:18:52so one team will be leaving at the end of this round.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Our category for round two this afternoon is:
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11OK, so our round two question concerns:
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Film title characters and their actors. Richard?
0:19:18 > 0:19:22On each pass, we're going to show you the names of six films named after their title characters.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26We asked 100 people to name the actor who played those characters.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30If you give us a nice obscure answer, you'll score fewer points.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32An incorrect answer scores 100 points.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35So there's 12 films in all, 12 actors for you to get at home.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- Best of luck. - OK, thank you very much.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42We're looking for the actors who played these title characters.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53I'll read those all one more time.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03There they are. There are the title characters.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05We need the names of the actors who played them.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08You want to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11So, Charlotte.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Yes. I will go for -
0:20:14 > 0:20:19- and if I get this wrong, I'm going to be in very big trouble...- Mm-hm.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24..Rooster Cogburn and John Wayne.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26John Wayne for Rooster Cogburn.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people knew that answer.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32It's right.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39It's a very, very good answer, Charlotte.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Very well done. 21 points.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50Er, yeah, a very good answer, Charlotte. It was John Wayne's penultimate film in 1975.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53He'd played Cogburn in True Grit years before that, as well.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54Now, then, Mark.
0:20:54 > 0:21:01I'm going to go for Michael Clayton and George Clooney, please.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many said George Clooney for Michael Clayton.
0:21:08 > 0:21:09It's right.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Very, very well done, Mark.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- CHEERING - Very, very good answer.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- Eight points for George Clooney. - Well played, Mark. Very good answer.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28From 2007. Tilda Swinton won Best Supporting Actress for that film.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Now, then, Denise.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33We're looking for the actors who played these title characters
0:21:33 > 0:21:34in these films.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38So Forrest Gump, very obvious - Tom Hanks.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Mary Poppins, that's a classic. Julie Andrews.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47But I'm thinking I'm going to go with Erin Brockovitch
0:21:47 > 0:21:50and Julia Roberts.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Julia Roberts, Erin Brockovitch.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00It's right.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Ooh!
0:22:04 > 0:22:08Ooh, that's high. 71 for Erin Brockovitch, Julia Roberts, Richard.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Yeah, a pretty big score. From 2000. She won the Best Actress Oscar.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Erin Brockovitch herself also appeared in the film as a waitress.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Let's go through the rest of the board.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Forrest Gump would have scored you more. Tom Hanks scored 77.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26Mary Poppins was probably the answer to go for. It would have scored 57.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28You're absolutely right with Julie Andrews.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Alice Adams, that's from 1935, it's a pointless answer,
0:22:31 > 0:22:34she was nominated for an Oscar for this role.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Very well done if you said Katharine Hepburn.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Well, thank you very much, Richard. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Mark and Sam on eight.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Then we go up to 21, where we find Charlotte and Eamonn,
0:22:44 > 0:22:48then up to 71, where we find Denise and Tom.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51So, Tom, you're going to have to find a really obscure answer.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:57 > 0:23:01OK, we're going to put six more title characters from movies on the board
0:23:01 > 0:23:03and here we go.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04We have got:
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I'll read those all one more time.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Now, remember, we're looking for the actors who played these title characters
0:23:23 > 0:23:27and you're trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Now, then, Tom, you're the high scorers on 71.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34I only know the ones pre-war and there's none of them up there.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38I'll say Shirley Valentine, Pauline Collins.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Is it right? How many people knew that?
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Pauline Collins, Shirley Valentine.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46It's correct.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Very well done. Very well done indeed.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54That's perfect, Tom.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Exactly what you needed. It takes your total up to 86.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01- 15 for Shirley Valentine. - Well played, Tom. You've given yourself a chance.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- Based on the Willy Russell play. - There you go.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Sam, the high scorers are Tom and Denise on 86.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11You're on eight. That means if you can score 77 or less,
0:24:11 > 0:24:13you're in the head to head.
0:24:14 > 0:24:19OK. I'm going to go with Happy Gilmore, Adam Sandler.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Happy Gilmore, Adam Sandler, you're saying.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Here's a red line. Look how high it is.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28If Adam Sandler gets you below that, you're through.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Come on, Adam, come on, Adam.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37You've done it! Very well done.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- 35. - APPLAUSE
0:24:41 > 0:24:45A great score. 35 takes your total up to 43. Richard.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49- Well played, Sam. You know what? I sort of knew you'd go for Happy Gilmore.- Yeah.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Adam Sandler plays an ice hockey player who takes up pro golf.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Thank you very much, Richard. Now then, Eamonn.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Eamonn, the high scorers on 86 are Tom and Denise.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03You are on 21. That means if you can score 64 or less,
0:25:03 > 0:25:06you are in the head to head.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Well, the key to all of this is Bob Roberts.
0:25:10 > 0:25:16I think it was a political film. Not sure, not sure.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20If I knew the answer to that one, I'm sure I'd be in the head to head.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24I'll go for Johnny Depp, Edward Scissorhands.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28Johnny Depp, Edward Scissorhands. This is exciting.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31There's your red line, Eamonn. That's it.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Below that red line you are in the head to head.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Anyway, let's see. OK.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Johnny Depp, Edward Scissorhands. How many people said it?
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Down it goes.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47AUDIENCE GROANS
0:25:47 > 0:25:4974!
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Bad luck, Eamonn. A very, very valiant try.
0:25:53 > 0:25:5674 takes your total up to 95.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Unlucky, mate.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06I love the fact that out of Tom O'Connor and Denise Lewis, Tom is the competitive one.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- He is!- Eamonn, that's tough luck.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13The answers that would have won it were Bob Roberts or Annie Hall.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Rocky Balboa scored 70, Sylvester Stallone.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- Annie Hall was Diane Keaton. - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21That would have scored you six points.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Bob Roberts was a pointless answer. You're thinking of the right film.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29The character he plays is a folk singer who runs a right-wing election campaign.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34- Written and directed by Tim Robbins. - Tim Robbins, yes.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- Very well done if you said that at home.- Oh, well.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41It's good for us because we've got to get up for work in an hour and a half.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44We'd better to go. We'd better go. No hanging around.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49So at the end of round two, we're losing Eamonn and Charlotte.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51That seems so unfair.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55Any last words you'd like to say? Any post mortem?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- Well, I think we did our best. - You did incredibly well.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01It's been great fun. Thank you for that.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05- Well, thanks very much, Eamonn and Charlotte. - Thank you for having us.- Thank you.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07CHEERING
0:27:07 > 0:27:10For the remaining pairs, things get even more exciting
0:27:10 > 0:27:12as we enter the head to head.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Very well done, Sam and Mark, Tom and Denise.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24You've made it through to the head to head.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Only one pair can make it to the final and play for the jackpot,
0:27:27 > 0:27:30which currently stands at £3,000.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32CHEERING
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Now here's how the head to head works.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer and you can now confer.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45If you come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair, you win that question.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48The first pair to win two questions will play for the jackpot.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49Let's play Pointless.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57OK, here is your first question.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:27:59 > 0:28:03to name as many two-word US states as they could.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- Richard.- There are ten states in the USA whose name consist of two words.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11We're looking for the most obscure of those, please.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12See if you can get all ten at home.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Sam and Mark, you've played best so far, so you go first.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- OK.- Two-word US states.- Mm.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20OK.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22THEY WHISPER
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- OK?- We're going to go for New England.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33- New England.- Yeah.- OK. New England from Sam and Mark. New England.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36- LAUGHTER - Tom and Denise, you can now talk out loud.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40- Shall we go for the one we were going to go for?- Yeah.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43- Shall we do that?- Yeah. Go for it. - We've got another life if we lose.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46We'll have, please, New Mexico.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48New Mexico. New England, New Mexico.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Sam and Mark, you went for New England. Let's see if that's right
0:28:53 > 0:28:55and if so, how many people said it.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58- LAUGHTER - Stop laughing.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05- GROANING - Oh!
0:29:05 > 0:29:10- I thought I could trust you with that!- It's an incorrect answer,
0:29:10 > 0:29:13which mean, Tom and Denise, you merely have to be correct.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15It just has to be right.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18New Mexico. Is it right? How many people said it doesn't matter.
0:29:18 > 0:29:19Is it right?
0:29:22 > 0:29:25It's right. Very well done, Tom and Denise.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30- 26. - APPLAUSE
0:29:30 > 0:29:35A great answer and more importantly, a correct answer.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38That means, Tom and Denise, you are up, one nil.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40- Richard. - Well played, Tom and Denise.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43New England is a collection of six states.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47- Good.- Let's take a look at all ten of them, see how well you did at home.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51West Virginia would have scored 16, as would Rhode Island.
0:29:51 > 0:29:56New Hampshire, that's also in New England. There's New Mexico.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57New Jersey, 28.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01North Dakota, 32, South Dakota, 34,
0:30:01 > 0:30:04South Carolina, 37, and North Carolina, 37,
0:30:04 > 0:30:06and New York right at the top on 71.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Very well done if you got all of those at home.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Thank you very much, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15- Sam and Mark, you have to win this question to stay in the game. - OK.- OK.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:30:18 > 0:30:23to name as many characters from Bagpuss as they could.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Characters from Bagpuss, Richard.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28There were ten characters who regularly appeared
0:30:28 > 0:30:30in the children's TV series Bagpuss.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32We won't accept Bagpuss himself, I'm afraid.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Oh.
0:30:34 > 0:30:35That's a shame.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39OK, Tom and Denise, you go first this time.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41- I haven't got a clue. - I haven't got a clue.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44- I can remember...- What?- No.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47I can just remember one of the...
0:30:47 > 0:30:50what it looked like, one of the characters -
0:30:50 > 0:30:52what they looked like but not a name.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56Shall we go for...? Jemima.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01Jemima, say Tom and Denise.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Sam and Mark.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Children's TV presenters.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08- Wait a minute!- Hang on, hang on. That's before our time.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10- Let's have a word, here. Come on. - Erm...
0:31:10 > 0:31:14- Let's go with yours. Mr Biggles. - Mr Biggles.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16LAUGHTER
0:31:16 > 0:31:18I think we've got more of a chance than they have.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22In the order they were given, we have Jemima, say Tom and Denise.
0:31:22 > 0:31:23Let's see if that's right.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- No.- No.- Mr Biggles. Let's see if that's right.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- Come on.- Come on, made-up name.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35Oh!
0:31:35 > 0:31:39Well, there we are. That means after two questions, Tom and Denise are still ahead one nil.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43Let's take a look at all the answers. The mice were the best answers.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Williemouse, Lizziemouse and Janiemouse scored nothing.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Jenniemouse and Eddiemouse, one. Charliemouse, two.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- And then Emily is the name of the little girl.- Yeah.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- Jemima, Emily...- That scored nine.
0:31:55 > 0:32:00Gabriel, 11, Professor Yaffle, 12 and Madeleine, the rag doll, on 14.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02OK, here comes your third question.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- Sam and Mark, you mustn't lose this question.- No.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:32:09 > 0:32:15to name as many male Grand Slam winners of the noughties as they could.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Male Grand Slam winners of the noughties. Richard.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21We're looking for the name of any male tennis player
0:32:21 > 0:32:25who's won a Grand Slam tournament from 2000 to 2010, please,
0:32:25 > 0:32:31a Grand Slam being the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33OK, now, then, Sam and Mark. You go first this time.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Mr Biggles?
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- Come on, this is your thing, sport. - All right.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42- It is sport, yeah?- Yeah.- Good.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47- I've got one.- OK. Sam and Mark.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50We're going to go for Marat Safin.
0:32:50 > 0:32:55OK. Tom and Denise? Marat Safin has gone.
0:32:55 > 0:33:01I quite fancy... Fancy? Not really fancy but like the idea of going for
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Goran Ivanisevic.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06He's a vitch, she's a vitch, even he's a vitch.
0:33:14 > 0:33:19Er, Sam and Mark, this is the one you have to win, remember, to stay in the game.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23Let's see if you can. Marat Safin, you're saying. Marat Safin.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Is it right? How many people said it?
0:33:28 > 0:33:30It is right.
0:33:36 > 0:33:37CHEERING
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Good, man. Good.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47- Do you think that's low enough? - I hope so.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51I hope so. That was pretty obscure, Marat Safin.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53We'll see.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Tom and Denise, Goran Ivanisevic.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Goran Ivanisevic.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06It's right. Where's it going to stop?
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Down it goes.
0:34:10 > 0:34:11- You've done it! - CHEERING
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Oh, that's a fantastic answer.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Very, very well done, Tom and Denise.
0:34:27 > 0:34:32- Spectacular answer, there.- Oh! - Wow. Good TV right here.- Yeah.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36That means, Tom and Denise, you are through to the final,
0:34:36 > 0:34:37two-nil.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39- Very well done.- Well done.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41CHEERING
0:34:41 > 0:34:45That's amazing. Well done.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49Coming on here thinking you're going to beat Tom O'Connor? I don't think so.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51- No chance, no chance. - I don't think so.
0:34:51 > 0:34:56Safin won two Grand Slams, the US Open in 2000 and the Australian in 2005.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00Ivanisevic won Wimbledon in 2001. He beat Henman on the way there.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Let's take a look at all the answers. There's some pointless answers.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07Lleyton Hewitt was a pointless answer. He won two Grand Slams.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Juan Martin Del Potro won the US Open. He was pointless.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12These next three won the French Open -
0:35:12 > 0:35:16Juan Carlos Ferrero, Gaston Gaudio, the Argentine, and Albert Costa.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18All those were pointless.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Thomas Johansson won the Australian Open.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Gustavo Kuerten won the French Open - one point.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27There's Ivanisevic - one. Marat Safin, two, Andy Roddick, 3.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Some of the bigger names, now.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Novak Djokovic, 11, Andre Agassi, 17.
0:35:31 > 0:35:36Pete Sampras, 20, and then Federer and Nadal, as you'd expect, at the top.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Roger Federer, 42, and Nadal, 43.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- Well done if you got any of the pointless ones.- Thanks, Richard.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46- So the losing pair at the end of the head to head, it's Sam and Mark.- Oh!
0:35:46 > 0:35:48- Oh, dear, oh, dear. - APPLAUSE
0:35:50 > 0:35:55But you were very close, even with Mr Biggles and New England.
0:35:55 > 0:36:00- But, no, I think we did all right. - Yeah.- We can hold our heads high.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02You have covered yourselves in glory.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05And we've lost to an Olympian and an entertainment legend,
0:36:05 > 0:36:08- so that's... eh? - Can't say fairer than that.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12Thank you, Sam and Mark. Brilliant to have you on the show. Thank you for playing.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14CHEERING
0:36:14 > 0:36:17But for Tom and Denise, it's now time for our Pointless final
0:36:17 > 0:36:20and a chance to win our jackpot of £3,000.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26CHEERING
0:36:27 > 0:36:31Well, congratulations, Tom and Denise, you've fought off all the competition
0:36:31 > 0:36:33and you have won our coveted trophy.
0:36:39 > 0:36:45You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot, which stands at £3,000.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46- There we are. - CHEERING
0:36:48 > 0:36:52Now the rules are very simple. To win that money for your nominated charity,
0:36:52 > 0:36:55all you have to do is find a pointless answer,
0:36:55 > 0:36:57an answer that none of our 100 people could think of.
0:36:57 > 0:37:03We've had two pointless answers today - you have to find one more to go home with that money.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07Firstly, you've got to choose a category from these three options.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10They are:
0:37:13 > 0:37:19Sportsmen... That's luring us into the one,
0:37:19 > 0:37:22- so it might be more difficult that we think.- It's a trap.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- And the Oscars is a trap. - And the Oscars...? Is it?
0:37:25 > 0:37:29- It's all a trap.- Shall we go for the comedians? Let's go for that.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32- OK, then, female comedians. - Yes, female comedians.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Female comedians it is. OK. Female comedians.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Let's find out what the question is. Good luck.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:37:40 > 0:37:45to name as many female British Comedy Award winners as they could.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Female British Comedy Award winners.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- Richard.- We're looking for females, alone or as part of a double act,
0:37:51 > 0:37:56who've won any category in the British Comedy Awards, including lifetime achievement,
0:37:56 > 0:38:00between 2000 right through to 2011, please.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04OK. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07All you need to win that £3,000 for your nominated charity
0:38:07 > 0:38:09is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Your 60 seconds start now.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14OK, there's Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders,
0:38:14 > 0:38:16those are the obvious ones.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20- June Whitfield could be a rank outsider.- June Whitfield.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Erm... Who else?
0:38:22 > 0:38:26Let's think, let's think. British. Erm...
0:38:26 > 0:38:28I don't think Meera Syal, no.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Erm... Anyone else you can think of?
0:38:31 > 0:38:33- Victoria Wood.- Victoria Wood.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36Would that be pointless?
0:38:36 > 0:38:40Erm... Other female British, British, British, British...
0:38:41 > 0:38:46Oh, what about erm...? Oh, I just forget her name.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48What's the time?
0:38:48 > 0:38:51Oh... Oh, what is her name?
0:38:51 > 0:38:53- We've got to give three answers anyway.- Yes.
0:38:53 > 0:38:58So shall we go for...? Do you want to go for June Whitfield as an outsider?
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Yes, I think so.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04So June Whitfield... We've got to go for another two.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- Dawn French.- Victoria Wood.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09- Five seconds.- Victoria Wood.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11You're happy with those?
0:39:11 > 0:39:13OK, there is your minute up.
0:39:13 > 0:39:18We were looking for female British Comedy Award winners.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20I now need your three answers.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22We're going for an outsider.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26- The outsider one we fancy is June Whitfield.- June Whitfield.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28- Victoria Wood.- Victoria Wood.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31- And Dawn French.- Dawn French. - And Dawn French.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:35 > 0:39:38I think June Whitfield because... Yeah, I think so.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40OK, June Whitfield we'll put last.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Which is least likely to be pointless?
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- Oh, Dawn French.- Dawn French. We'll put her first.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49OK, let's put them up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:39:55 > 0:39:56There they are.
0:39:56 > 0:40:01OK. We were looking for female British Comedy Award winners.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03You said this was your least confident answer,
0:40:03 > 0:40:06the one that's least likely to be pointless.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10You only have to find one pointless answer to win that £3,000 for your charity.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Let's see. Dawn French. Is it right? How many people said Dawn French?
0:40:17 > 0:40:20It's right! That was the first thing it had to be.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22If this goes down to zero, your charity...
0:40:22 > 0:40:24- Oh! - APPLAUSE
0:40:26 > 0:40:28That's about right.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31But you knew that was going to be a high-scoring one,
0:40:31 > 0:40:33that's why you put it first.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35That was just to hold the place and clear the barrels.
0:40:35 > 0:40:40Not a pointless answer. You have two more chances to win the jackpot.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42- What are your charities? - Breast Cancer Care.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46I'm an ambassador of the charity, a fantastic charity
0:40:46 > 0:40:50to help people fight breast cancer, obviously.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Very good indeed. Tom, how about you?
0:40:52 > 0:40:55- I'm with the boss. - You're with the boss.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- So Breast Cancer Care.- Yes. - An excellent charity. Very good.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02Let's hope one of these two remaining answers will win that jackpot for them.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05We were looking for female British Comedy Award winners.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Let's hope nobody said your next answer.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11There it is. Victoria Wood.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Dawn French went down to 55. Let's see how Victoria Wood does.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18This for the jackpot of £3,000.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Is Victoria right? How many people said it?
0:41:23 > 0:41:25It's right.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30It's right, so let's see if it goes down lower than Dawn French.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33Yes, it does. Down it goes.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35- Ooh, 21! - APPLAUSE
0:41:35 > 0:41:3821 for Victoria Wood.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42This is all moving very much in the right direction.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46- Come on!- Come on, June Whitfield.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50- HE LAUGHS - Everything hangs on June Whitfield.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Let's see if it is right
0:41:52 > 0:41:56and if it is right, let's see if it's pointless. June Whitfield.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Very best of luck. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:42:02 > 0:42:04- Oh, no! - GROANS
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Oh, no. Bad luck.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:42:17 > 0:42:19so you don't win today's jackpot of £3,000
0:42:19 > 0:42:22but you do get to take home our Pointless trophy,
0:42:22 > 0:42:24- so there you are. - APPLAUSE
0:42:28 > 0:42:32- So, Richard?- June Whitfield won a lifetime achievement award but in 1994,
0:42:32 > 0:42:35so quite a long time before the years we were looking for.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39Let's take a look at some of the Pointless answers here.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Ashley Jensen won for Extras.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Charlotte Church won Best Comedy Newcomer in 2006.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49- Are you serious?- I am. I didn't vote for her.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51LAUGHTER That was pointless.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Jessica Stevenson won for Spaced. That was pointless.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Katherine Parkinson won for The IT Crowd.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Liz Smith, of course, won for the Royle Family.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01Ramona Marquez, who's the child in Outnumbered,
0:43:01 > 0:43:03she won a Best Newcomer Award.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07Ruth Jones, who won Best Comedy Newcomer as well.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Samantha Spiro from Grandma's House
0:43:09 > 0:43:11and Sharon Horgan, who won for Pulling.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14So very bad luck, guys. You played so brilliantly throughout
0:43:14 > 0:43:18- and you've been a pleasure to have on the show.- Thank you.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you
0:43:20 > 0:43:23but as Richard said, it's been such a joy.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26You've been brilliant contestants. Tom and Denise!
0:43:26 > 0:43:29- APPLAUSE AND CHEERING - Thank you.- Wonderful.
0:43:31 > 0:43:35Thank you to our other pairs, Michael and Sarah, Eamonn and Charlotte
0:43:35 > 0:43:38and Sam and Mark.
0:43:38 > 0:43:40WHOOPING
0:43:41 > 0:43:46Nobody's won our jackpot today, so to thank our celebrities for taking part,
0:43:46 > 0:43:49we're going to donate £500 to each pair for their charity.
0:43:49 > 0:43:51Thank you.
0:43:51 > 0:43:54- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:54 > 0:43:56And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
