0:00:25 > 0:00:29Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:29 > 0:00:36and very warm welcome to a special celebrity edition of Pointless, where we test obscure knowledge.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Every single question has been asked to 100 people.
0:00:40 > 0:00:45To be in with a chance of winning our final round jackpot, we need the answers
0:00:45 > 0:00:52that the fewest of our 100 people could remember. Let's meet our Pointless celebrities.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59- First up, welcome Dick and Dom! - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02- CHEERING - Splendid.
0:01:03 > 0:01:09OK, we know you best as children's TV presenters. How will you draw on that experience?
0:01:09 > 0:01:13If we're not doing very well, I'll whack him in the face with a pie.
0:01:13 > 0:01:19There is always that. What are you like working as a team? Are you going to be good? Or buckle?
0:01:19 > 0:01:26- We're usually a bit competitive, but we can't be.- Generally, as a team, 15 years working together,
0:01:26 > 0:01:31we should be all right. But in a lot of the rounds we can't work together.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36- You can't.- Telepathy. - When you're in a double act,
0:01:36 > 0:01:43- you do think what the other person's thinking. Hopefully, that'll work. - I do hope so. Very best of luck.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48It's brilliant having you. Next, it's Charlie and Susanna!
0:01:48 > 0:01:50APPLAUSE
0:01:55 > 0:02:00Now, then, Charlie and Susanna. We know you from BBC Breakfast.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05I need hardly remind you that the last BBC Breakfast people we had on
0:02:05 > 0:02:07left here
0:02:07 > 0:02:13- triumphant. - If only we'd known... - They were great, Bill and Sian.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Not only did they win, they were charming, had the audience laughing.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19LAUGHTER
0:02:19 > 0:02:25- Oh, man, they were good. We all went out after. - Yeah, they took us out.- For drinks.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28They flew us to Paris.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- How long have you worked together? - About five years.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39- And have you done things like this before?- Not together, no.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43But I totally trust Charlie. He knows a lot of things.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- What are Charlie's strong suits? - He's done a lot of different jobs.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- I think you'll find things you didn't expect he would know. - What's he done?
0:02:52 > 0:02:58- You've been a doorman and a brickie and you used to clamp cars.- I was a roofer for a while.
0:02:58 > 0:03:04- There we go.- Yeah? - So I think there will be categories you might not expect.- Absolutely.
0:03:04 > 0:03:10- What about Susanna? - Susanna is very calm under pressure and extremely knowledgeable
0:03:10 > 0:03:13and I'm entirely relying on her.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Good. It's all going to go well, then.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Very, very best of luck to you. Great to have you on the show.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Next we welcome Russell and Dawn!
0:03:25 > 0:03:27CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:03:32 > 0:03:38- How long have you two known each other?- Years!- Only about a year. We worked together and got on.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40So we thought we'd do this together.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- Where did you first meet? - In Australia.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48I was a guest on a panel of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here Now
0:03:48 > 0:03:51and Russell does a hilarious sketch.
0:03:51 > 0:03:59I have to do stand-up about the show every night to an audience of three people.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Then Dawn was giving her opinions and we got on.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Fantastic. Anything you'd hate to see come up, Dawn?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Anything that requires a shred of intellect.
0:04:10 > 0:04:16Or something in which I think I'm an expert, but turn out to be an idiot.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21- And then get humiliated. That would be horrible.- Very good.
0:04:21 > 0:04:28- Very best of luck to the pair of you. And finally we have got Vanessa and Ben!- Hello!
0:04:28 > 0:04:30APPLAUSE
0:04:30 > 0:04:37- What are your strong suits, Vanessa? - Reclining on a chaise longue while Ben peels me a grape
0:04:37 > 0:04:41is the thing I really excel at. Everything else, I'm not much cop.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Talking I'm good at.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49- Ben, what areas will you look after? - Music I'd love to see come up.
0:04:49 > 0:04:55- I love a bit of music. - Because you're a lead singer. - #- Hey, what's wrong with you?- #
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- I had to do that. - Not bad at all.- Marvellous.
0:04:59 > 0:05:06Of course, Ben is responsible for the greatest album title in the history of recorded music.
0:05:06 > 0:05:12- Ah!- He was in Phats and Small. Do you know what their first album was called?
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- Now Phats What I Small Music. - LAUGHTER
0:05:15 > 0:05:18That's genius, right? Come on.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- I'm still laughing about it today. - APPLAUSE
0:05:24 > 0:05:29You're a couple on and off screen. What will you be like as a team?
0:05:29 > 0:05:37We're going to be devoted and charming, gently nibbling one another's earlobes, billing, cooing.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42- Just like we normally do.- Yeah. Kissing.- The occasional snog.
0:05:42 > 0:05:48- And you're good under pressure? - Under pressure, we rev it up! LAUGHTER
0:05:48 > 0:05:53Well, welcome to you. We look forward to discovering all your hidden knowledge.
0:05:53 > 0:06:00There's only one person left to introduce. He is my Pointless friend. He is Richard.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01Hello.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:06:07 > 0:06:12- Wow.- Hello there. - Wow.- I know, it's exciting.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17- Once again I am the 10th most famous person in a room. - LAUGHTER
0:06:17 > 0:06:22It should be a very good show. We've got some very clever people.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26I'd also like to welcome Dick and Dom.
0:06:26 > 0:06:31It should be a cracker. The first round should suit most of you.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36- It should fit into the skill set of most of these teams. - Very good. Thanks.
0:06:36 > 0:06:43We put all our questions to 100 people, but this is Pointless. We want answers they didn't get.
0:06:43 > 0:06:49To stay in the game, our celebrities need to score as few points as they can.
0:06:49 > 0:06:55Everyone wants a pointless answer that nobody gave. When that happens, we'll add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00As today's show is a celebrity special for nominated charities,
0:07:00 > 0:07:05we start off with a jackpot of £2,500. There we are.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Right. Let's play Pointless.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23Each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28The team with the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32An incorrect answer scores 100 points, so try to avoid those.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36OK, our first category is... Words.
0:07:36 > 0:07:43Words. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and who's going to go second?
0:07:43 > 0:07:48Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Let's see the first question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:07:52 > 0:07:57to name as many words ending in "..ight" as they could.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Words ending in "..ight". Richard?
0:08:00 > 0:08:06Any word in the Oxford English Dictionary that ends "..ight". No hyphenated words,
0:08:06 > 0:08:12no proper nouns, people or places. There is a word "ight". We won't accept that.
0:08:12 > 0:08:19Occasionally, Xander might ask you to spell your answer out. If he does, make sure it ends "..ight"!
0:08:19 > 0:08:26OK, well, Dick and Dom, you all drew lots before the show and you get to go first.
0:08:26 > 0:08:32- Words ending in "..ight". Dick?- Can't be hard. We'll show you how intelligent we are!
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- You know what? I don't doubt it! - Might.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42- OK.- Yes! - Might.- M-I-G-H-T.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46OK, lovely. You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:08:46 > 0:08:52Let's see if "might" is a correct answer and, if it is, how many people said it, Dick.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54It's good, it's right.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- 66!- Oh!
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- It's a start.- It's all right.
0:08:59 > 0:09:0066.
0:09:01 > 0:09:07- Richard, "might". - It's a correct answer, so a good way to start the round.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12- It can mean power, perhaps. It's 66 points to you.- Thanks(!)
0:09:12 > 0:09:19- Now then, Susanna.- OK, I was going to try and be clever, but that's always a mistake.
0:09:19 > 0:09:25- I'm going to go for "fright". - Fright. Let's see if it's right and how many people said it. Fright.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27It is right.
0:09:31 > 0:09:37- There we are! 25. It was a great answer. - APPLAUSE
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- Fright, Richard. - Yes, absolutely. Pretty low score,
0:09:42 > 0:09:48but I would point out there are over 100 pointless answers on this list.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Also, I'm disqualifying "right" because Alexander keeps saying it.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54LAUGHTER
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Dawn. - I might try to be clever.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- Highlight?- You see, that's brilliant.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05You're hoping to score as few as possible. "Highlight".
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Is that right and how many people said it?
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- Three!- Yes!
0:10:18 > 0:10:21That's how you do it. Three points for "highlight".
0:10:23 > 0:10:30Yeah, well played, Dawn. Highlight - to bring into prominence or to bleach parts of your hair.
0:10:30 > 0:10:37- Very good answer.- Now, Vanessa. Let's have the most obscure word that you can summon.
0:10:37 > 0:10:44Well, I want you to picture a medieval knight upon his white charger. So K-N-I-G-H-T.
0:10:44 > 0:10:50K-N-I-G-H-T. Knight, says Vanessa. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Of course it's right.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Eleven!
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Eleven for knight.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- APPLAUSE - Richard?
0:11:05 > 0:11:10Yeah, very well played, Vanessa. No incorrect answers. That's nice.
0:11:10 > 0:11:16Thanks very much, Richard. We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Dawn and Russell, fantastic. Three.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Then we go up to 11 for Vanessa and Ben.
0:11:22 > 0:11:28Then 25, Susanna and Charlie. Then up quite a long way to 66 for Dick and Dom.
0:11:28 > 0:11:35- Now then, Dom...- Yes. - You've got to find a fantastic word ending in "..ight".
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Otherwise, as things stand, we will be saying goodbye to you.
0:11:38 > 0:11:45OK, we're going to come back down the line. Could the second players take their places at the podium?
0:11:46 > 0:11:51OK, remember, we're looking for words that end in "..ight".
0:11:51 > 0:11:57Ben, the high scorers on 66 or Dom and Dick. Sounds wrong, that way round.
0:11:57 > 0:12:03- If you can score 54 or less, you are definitely through to the next round.- Right. Er...
0:12:05 > 0:12:08I'm going to go for "eight".
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Eight!- Ohhh!
0:12:10 > 0:12:16Oh, ho, ho. Eight! How many people had to just go, "Hang on! Ohh!"?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19OK, there is your red line.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24If you get below that, Ben, you are through to the next round.
0:12:24 > 0:12:30- Fingers crossed.- Eight. Great answer. Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36It's right, of course. And you are through - look!
0:12:37 > 0:12:41- Very well done. 13. - Wow, well done!
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Takes your total up to 24.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Yeah, very well played, Ben. Eight's 13 bringing 11 up to 24.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52LAUGHTER
0:12:52 > 0:12:57- Russell.- Em... I'm going to go with "slight".
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Slight. How are you spelling "slight"?
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- With an "..ight" at the end! - LAUGHTER
0:13:05 > 0:13:09What are you... What are you putting before?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Is this a trick question?- No!
0:13:11 > 0:13:16S and... Oh, yes. I'm still going to play it safe.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- S-L.- OK.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23Slight. S-L-I-G-H-T. There is your red line. Below it to go through.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Is it right? How many people said it?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- Yep, he's done it.- Good.
0:13:34 > 0:13:3823! Takes you to 26. You're through.
0:13:40 > 0:13:47- Very well played, Russell. Great team.- Charlie, you're on 25. Dick and Dom are still on 66.
0:13:47 > 0:13:53If you can score 40 or less, you go through. Words ending in "..ight".
0:13:53 > 0:13:55I'm going to go for...
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- "uptight".- Ohh!
0:13:59 > 0:14:03- Gasps from everyone. Vanessa... - I'm not sure that's a word!
0:14:03 > 0:14:07Steward's inquiry from over there.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12Uptight. There's your red line. Below that and you're through.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Uptight. Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18It IS right.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Yup, you've done it!
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Oh, very well done, Charlie! That scores you one.
0:14:27 > 0:14:33It takes your total to 26. The lowest score of the pass, indeed of the round.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37- Richard.- Well played, Charlie. Look how close those scores are.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- On which note, Dick and Dom... - LAUGHTER
0:14:40 > 0:14:46- We're going home, aren't we? - Oh, Dick and Dom, the writing is on the wall.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51- Yes.- You are going to be leaving. - Do I have one more chance to humiliate us?
0:14:51 > 0:14:58- No, you have a chance to leave a beautiful legacy in the shape of £250 in the jackpot.- I prefer this.
0:14:58 > 0:15:04- What about that?- OK. So I've got a word that ends in "..ight" when you verbally pronounce it
0:15:04 > 0:15:11- and I think it's a belter. But it might not be cos it's got to be spelt right.- Get on with it!
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Satellite? LAUGHTER
0:15:13 > 0:15:18All right, now look... That's not the one I'm coming up with.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23I was going to... Cos I know it's spelt I-T-E.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27So I thought, "Let's play safe and just stick with flight".
0:15:27 > 0:15:31Right, OK. Let's see if that's right and how many said it.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- 29.- It wasn't bad.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- It's not bad at all. - Hey...- Not bad at all, Dom.
0:15:44 > 0:15:50And it's a darn sight better than satellite. What a stupid idea! Stupid!
0:15:50 > 0:15:52That takes your total up to 95.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Oh, yes, look at that!
0:15:55 > 0:16:00It's better than "might" as well. That's the main thing, isn't it?
0:16:00 > 0:16:04- In the battle of Dick versus Dom, you've come out on top.- Yeah.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07What a battle(!) LAUGHTER
0:16:07 > 0:16:15- So, Richard...- The reason, Russell, we asked you to spell slight is there is sleight of hand,
0:16:15 > 0:16:18which would have scored only one point. And, Dawn,
0:16:18 > 0:16:23lowlight would have been pointless. Let's look at some pointless ones.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Bantamweight - a boxing weight. Wainwright, candlelight.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29All of these are pointless answers.
0:16:29 > 0:16:36Sennight - an old word for a week. Microlight, birthright also a pointless answer.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Catfight - doesn't have a hyphen.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Skintight and 'sright, as in,
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- "Yeah, 'sright." I'm guessing! - LAUGHTER
0:16:46 > 0:16:50Very well done if you got those at home.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55Richard, thank you very much. So the losing pair is Dick and Dom.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- Bye-bye.- Bye!- It had to be someone.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- You'll miss us. - I thought you said my missus!
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Yeah? Your mum!
0:17:06 > 0:17:07LAUGHTER
0:17:07 > 0:17:12But, em... Yeah, we will miss you.
0:17:12 > 0:17:18We've hosted game shows before and when the contestants come on, you think, "This is really simple!"
0:17:18 > 0:17:23They say the same thing. When you're in the spotlight, you go blank.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Completely blank, yeah.
0:17:25 > 0:17:31I'm afraid we have to say goodbye. Thank you very much for playing. Dick and Dom!
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Thank you!
0:17:35 > 0:17:40For the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:17:44 > 0:17:52There's only room for two pairs in our head-to-head so one team will be leaving us after this round.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Our category for Round Two is...Musicals.
0:17:55 > 0:18:01Can you all decide who is going to go first and second? Whoever is first, step up to the podium.
0:18:05 > 0:18:12OK, so our Round Two question concerns..."jukebox" musicals. Richard?
0:18:12 > 0:18:18One of those musicals based largely or wholly on the works of one particular act.
0:18:18 > 0:18:25We'll show you six musicals. We asked 100 people which band or artist is that musical based on?
0:18:25 > 0:18:31A nice obscure answer scores fewer points. An incorrect answer scores 100 points.
0:18:31 > 0:18:38- 12 musicals in all, 12 bands or artists. Very best of luck. - Wow. Jukebox musicals.
0:18:38 > 0:18:45We've all learned something. OK, we want the names of the acts featured in these jukebox musicals.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Here's our first list of six.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50HE READS LIST
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I'll read those all one more time.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08Everyone's looking really worried. Now then, Susanna...
0:19:08 > 0:19:11There's a couple I just don't know.
0:19:11 > 0:19:17- I'm going to go for Jersey Boys and The Four Seasons. - The Four Seasons.
0:19:17 > 0:19:24- Yes.- OK. Jersey Boys, The Four Seasons. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27It is right.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Very well done. 16!- Whoo!
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- APPLAUSE - Well done. It's a great answer.
0:19:37 > 0:19:44- 16. Lovely low score. Richard? - Yeah. Won four Tony awards and an Olivier for Best Musical.
0:19:44 > 0:19:50- Now then, Russell. What does that board look like to you? - Oh, I just...
0:19:50 > 0:19:56I work in the theatre on a daily basis, but I don't get on with musicals and I avoid them.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01I avoid reading about them or going to see them. I don't have a clue.
0:20:01 > 0:20:06All I can do is intuit from the songs back to an artist.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11So I am going to guess that Good Vibrations is the Beach Boys.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Whether it's a real musical, who knows?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- God only knows. - LAUGHTER
0:20:18 > 0:20:23Let's see if it is and how many people said the Beach Boys.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Yes, it is! Very well done.
0:20:25 > 0:20:31- 66.- We're in trouble. That means you've got to...- 66.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- That's a lot better than 100.- Yes. - Well intuited. Richard?
0:20:35 > 0:20:39A big score, but a good answer. Ran for 94 performances on Broadway.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43- Is that a good run?- It's not.- No.
0:20:43 > 0:20:49We are looking for the acts featured in these musicals. Now, Vanessa, you go last
0:20:49 > 0:20:55- so you can talk us through the board and fill in any gaps you like. - The top one's ABBA, obviously.
0:20:55 > 0:21:01Then I'm assuming All Shook Up is Elvis Presley, although I've never heard of it.
0:21:01 > 0:21:08I've never heard of this as a musical but I'm going to say Ring of Fire is about Johnny Cash.
0:21:08 > 0:21:14Ring of Fire, Johnny Cash. Let's see if that's right and how many people knew that answer.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16It is right.
0:21:20 > 0:21:2138.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24APPLAUSE
0:21:26 > 0:21:31- Horrible. What's the bottom one? - 38. Well, I dread to think.
0:21:31 > 0:21:39- Richard?- We'll find out soon enough. Johnny Cash - that only ran for 57 performances, that musical.
0:21:39 > 0:21:45But it's rather good. Mamma Mia obviously was ABBA, but would have scored 95 points.
0:21:45 > 0:21:51All Shook Up was Elvis and would have scored you 68.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55All The Fun of The Fair, well done if you got it at home.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- It was just eight points. Any idea?- David Essex?
0:21:59 > 0:22:03- How did you know that? - Is it really?! That's hilarious!
0:22:03 > 0:22:11- APPLAUSE - How did you get that? - It was on that theatre down...
0:22:11 > 0:22:18Charing Cross Road and it had a picture of him with a handkerchief tied round his neck.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23Very good. We're halfway through. Let's look at the scores.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Fabulous score from Susanna. 16, look at that. Very strong.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Then up to 38 for Vanessa and Ben
0:22:30 > 0:22:35and 66 for Russell and Dawn. That was an expensive choice.
0:22:35 > 0:22:42So, Dawn, you'll have to hope it is a really good board for you and you find a low-scoring answer.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Can the second players please take their place at the podium?
0:22:50 > 0:22:54OK, we'll put six more musicals on the board. Here they come.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57HE READS LIST
0:23:01 > 0:23:03I'll read those one more time.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13You are looking for the acts around whose repertoire these are based.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17You're trying to find the one the fewest people knew. So, Ben...
0:23:17 > 0:23:22What are you thinking? What does that board look like to you?
0:23:22 > 0:23:26I can guess... I'm just looking at song titles, really.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30I'm stuck between Never Forget and Our House.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Our House, Madness.
0:23:32 > 0:23:38Here's your red line coming in. If you get down below that red line, you are in the head-to-head.
0:23:38 > 0:23:45Our House, Madness said Ben. Let's see if it's right and how many people said Madness.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47It is right.
0:23:50 > 0:23:5248.
0:23:54 > 0:23:5648 takes your total up to 86.
0:23:56 > 0:24:01- Richard?- Yeah, won the Oliver for Best Musical in 2003.
0:24:01 > 0:24:07So we are looking for the acts whose music features in these jukebox musicals.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11So, Dawn, the high scorers are now Ben and Vanessa on 86.
0:24:11 > 0:24:19You're on 66. If you can score 19 or less, you are through to the head-to-head. What are you thinking?
0:24:19 > 0:24:23I'm thinking that I feel horribly ashamed of myself!
0:24:23 > 0:24:27- Because you know some of these? - I was going to say Madness.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32The only other one I know on that board is the big one.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35So I've just got to say it. Sorry, Russell.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38We Will Rock You, Queen.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41We Will Rock You, Queen.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45OK, well, let's see. Let's see...
0:24:45 > 0:24:48There's your red line, Dawn.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- Try not to laugh as we're doomed! - LAUGHTER
0:24:52 > 0:24:59There is your red line. If you get below that - maybe they forgot it! - then you are through.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Oh, no...
0:25:01 > 0:25:05We Will Rock You, Queen. Is it right and how many people said it?
0:25:07 > 0:25:0974.
0:25:09 > 0:25:1474 is quite high, I'm afraid. That takes you up to 140.
0:25:17 > 0:25:23- Bad luck.- Sorry, Dawn. Right answer, but a big score. Opened in 2002 and still running.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- Have you seen it?- No.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30- I've had that pleasure. Anyone else?- I've seen it.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34- Two hours of our lives we'll never get back.- Well now...
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Charlie, here's the good news.
0:25:37 > 0:25:44Even if you score 100 points, you will not overtake Dawn and Russell's high score of 140.
0:25:44 > 0:25:52- Knowing that, why not see if you can find the most obscure answer? - I have a hunch, no more than that,
0:25:52 > 0:25:56because I've got a song in my brain. Movin' Out might be Billy Joel.
0:25:56 > 0:26:01- Ooh.- And so... I think he has got a song called Movin' Out.
0:26:01 > 0:26:08And he's got a lot of songs in his repertoire. So why not say there's a musical called Movin' Out,
0:26:08 > 0:26:14- that I've never heard of, by Billy Joel.- Brilliant reasoning. Let's see if it's right.
0:26:14 > 0:26:20Is that right and how many people said it? No red line. You're through, come what may.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22You're right!
0:26:22 > 0:26:24You're right, Charlie.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31- Oh! Fantastic answer! - Unbelievable!
0:26:31 > 0:26:36A score of two takes you up to 18! Very well done.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41Great answer. Best answer on either board. Three years on Broadway.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Let's look at the rest of the board.
0:26:44 > 0:26:50- Saturday Night Fever is the Bee Gees and would have scored you 57. Tonight's The Night.- Rod Stewart?
0:26:50 > 0:26:56- Absolutely. 21. Dawn, were you tempted by Never Forget?- I actually was not, no.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01- It was Take That.- I'm not a fan! - Ah, good.- Controversial.
0:27:01 > 0:27:07So you won't feel bad you got it wrong. It would have scored 11 and seen you through.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Well done if you said Movin' Out.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15Thanks, Richard. So the losing celebrity pair is Russell and Dawn!
0:27:15 > 0:27:20- I'm sorry. We served you a terrible category there.- It's your fault.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- To be fair, it's my fault. - OK, well...
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28But I'm really sorry.
0:27:28 > 0:27:33It's something you either love and cherish or particularly detest.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37I think we know which one it was for you two.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- So, in many ways, well done. - LAUGHTER
0:27:41 > 0:27:47- You have been fantastic contestants. Thank you so much for playing. - Good luck, guys.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53For the remaining two pairs things get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head!
0:27:59 > 0:28:04Very well done, Charlie and Susanna, Vanessa and Ben.
0:28:04 > 0:28:11Only one celebrity pair can make it through to the final and play for the jackpot, which stands at £2,500.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13APPLAUSE
0:28:15 > 0:28:22Here's how the head-to-head works. Each pair just gives me one answer and you're now allowed to confer.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25You need an answer that scores less than the other pair.
0:28:25 > 0:28:30The first pair to win two questions will play for today's jackpot.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Let's play Pointless.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41OK, here is your first question.
0:28:41 > 0:28:48We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many royal wedding venues since 1900 as they could. Richard?
0:28:48 > 0:28:52We're looking for any venue at which any royal has married
0:28:52 > 0:28:56from 1900 all the way through to May, 2011.
0:28:56 > 0:29:01OK, thank you very much indeed. Charlie and Susanna, you go first.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06OK? We've reached a consensus.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08What's it going to be?
0:29:08 > 0:29:12- We're going to go for Windsor Castle. - Windsor Castle is your answer.
0:29:12 > 0:29:18- Vanessa and Ben?- Right. Em... - Shall we go for that?- Yeah.- Yes.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22- Do you think so? OK, you go. - I hope so.
0:29:22 > 0:29:27- It is a venue and a royal couple did get married there.- Yes.
0:29:27 > 0:29:33We would like to go for the registry office in Windsor high street -
0:29:33 > 0:29:38I can't give you the exact number - at which Prince Charles married Camilla Parker Bowles.
0:29:38 > 0:29:45- Windsor registry office?- Yes. - We have Windsor Castle and Windsor registry office.
0:29:45 > 0:29:52In the order they've been given, let's see if Windsor Castle is right and how many people said it.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54It's right.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00It's good - 17!
0:30:03 > 0:30:05APPLAUSE
0:30:05 > 0:30:0917. Vanessa and Ben have gone for Windsor registry office.
0:30:09 > 0:30:14Let's see how many people said Windsor registry office. It's right!
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Yes, they've done it! Eight!
0:30:21 > 0:30:23APPLAUSE
0:30:26 > 0:30:31Windsor registry office on eight pips Windsor Castle on 17.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Vanessa and Ben are up one-nil. Richard?
0:30:34 > 0:30:40Very good lateral thinking. And Sophie and Edward in Windsor Castle.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44Let's take a look at all the answers. There's a pointless one.
0:30:44 > 0:30:50The Duke of Kent and Katharine Worsley got married at York Minster. That was a pointless answer.
0:30:50 > 0:30:56Crathie Church was the Princess Royal. The Duke of Gloucester
0:30:56 > 0:31:00got married in Buckingham Palace. It would have scored seven.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04There's the Guildhall, Windsor, where the registry office is.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08Windsor Castle, 17. St Paul's, 39 - Charles and Di.
0:31:08 > 0:31:13And there's been ten marriages at Westminster Abbey including William and Kate.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17- Well done if you got the pointless answer.- Here's your second question.
0:31:17 > 0:31:24Charlie and Susanna, you need to win this to stay in the game. Here it comes.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many England cricketers
0:31:28 > 0:31:32who have made 100 or more Test appearances as they could.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36That's not one-day internationals. It's Test appearances
0:31:36 > 0:31:38up to May, 2011, please.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41This time, Vanessa and Ben go first.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49- Mike Gatting.- Mike Gatting, OK, say Vanessa and Ben.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53- Charlie and Susanna? - We're struggling.
0:31:53 > 0:31:59- Neither of us know about cricket. - At home I have the biggest cricket fan in my family
0:31:59 > 0:32:03who is watching now going, "Come on! Don't let me down!"
0:32:03 > 0:32:10- And we're about to crash and burn. - I think we'll go - and hopefully it fits within the criterion -
0:32:10 > 0:32:15- we'll go old and we're going to say...- Go on.- WG Grace.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19WG Grace. We have Mike Gatting and WG Grace.
0:32:19 > 0:32:25Vanessa and Ben said Mike Gatting. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- Oh, dear.- An incorrect answer,
0:32:30 > 0:32:37which means, Charlie and Susanna, WG Grace merely has to be correct for you to win this point.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41Is it right and how many people said it?
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Oh! Well, there we are!
0:32:44 > 0:32:49Both incorrect, which means Vanessa and Ben are still up one-nil.
0:32:49 > 0:32:54- Richard?- Both very good answers. WG Grace was in the years before they played many tests.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58And Gatting never quite reached his hundred. There's only eight.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01There's a pointless answer.
0:33:01 > 0:33:07Graham Thorpe, pointless answer. Alec Stewart would have scored one, David Gower six, Colin Cowdrey 11.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11Mike Atherton 11, Graham Gooch 13,
0:33:11 > 0:33:17Geoff Boycott 23 and Ian Botham 59. Well done if you got all of those.
0:33:17 > 0:33:23OK, here is your third question. Charlie and Susanna, you have to win this to stay in the game.
0:33:23 > 0:33:30We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Magic Roundabout characters as they could.
0:33:30 > 0:33:36- Richard?- We're looking for any of the eight original regular members of the Magic Roundabout.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40Charlie and Susanna, you go first this time.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45- We're going to go for Dylan. - Dylan.
0:33:45 > 0:33:50- Vanessa and Ben, you can now talk out loud if you like.- Wait, wait.
0:33:50 > 0:33:55- The cow.- Ermintrude, was it? - Was it Ermintrude?
0:33:55 > 0:33:57I'm sure it was.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- Ermintrude, the cow.- Ermintrude.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03So we have Dylan and Ermintrude.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07Charlie and Susanna, you have to win this. You have said Dylan.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Is it right and how many said it?
0:34:10 > 0:34:12It's right.
0:34:15 > 0:34:1637.
0:34:20 > 0:34:2637. The question is if Dylan is more or less obscure than Ermintrude, the cow.
0:34:26 > 0:34:32Ermintrude, say Vanessa and Ben. Is that right and how many people said Ermintrude?
0:34:32 > 0:34:34It's right.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Will it go lower than Dylan?
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Yes, it does! 31!
0:34:41 > 0:34:46- - You were the one who got it! - He always does.- 31.
0:34:46 > 0:34:51Now that means that Vanessa and Ben are through to the final, two-nil.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Richard?
0:34:53 > 0:34:58Two good answers there. Eight in all. Two are killer answers.
0:34:58 > 0:35:05Well done if you said either. Mr McHenry, the gardener, or Mr Rusty, the roundabout operator.
0:35:05 > 0:35:10Brian, the snail, 28. Ermintrude, the cow, 31.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14Dylan, the rabbit, 37. There's Florence 51, Dougal 63
0:35:14 > 0:35:18and Zebedee tops the list on 68.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22Thanks, Richard. So the losing pair is Charlie and Susanna!
0:35:22 > 0:35:26- Ohh.- Dear, oh, dear. Such a strong performance.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30- What will Bill and Sian say? - We never talk to them!
0:35:30 > 0:35:34- LAUGHTER - It's better that way.
0:35:34 > 0:35:41I'm afraid we have to say goodbye, but thank you so much for playing. Brilliant contestants. Thank you.
0:35:44 > 0:35:50But for Vanessa and Ben it's time for our Pointless final and the chance to win £2,500.
0:35:55 > 0:36:01Congratulations, Vanessa and Ben. You have fought off the competition and won a coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:07 > 0:36:14You now have a chance to win our jackpot. At the end of today's show, it stands at £2,500.
0:36:18 > 0:36:24The rules are very simple. All you have to do is find a pointless answer, that nobody thought of.
0:36:24 > 0:36:30We haven't had any on the show today. Find one now and you go home with that money.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34First, you choose a category from one of these three options.
0:36:40 > 0:36:47Crime fiction is my least favourite kind of fiction. I love a novel, adore a poem, but not crime fiction.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51- I don't think you do, either, do you? - No, not at all.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55- Boxing I'm not very good at. - And neither am I!
0:36:55 > 0:37:02- So...- We'd better settle on Hollywood Legends because we know slightly more than the other two.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06OK, Hollywood Legends it is. Let's find put the question.
0:37:06 > 0:37:12We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Paul Newman films as they could.
0:37:12 > 0:37:19- Richard?- We're looking for any feature film for which Paul Newman has received an acting credit.
0:37:19 > 0:37:25No short films, TV films, documentaries or playing himself. Voiceover performances do count.
0:37:25 > 0:37:31You have up to one minute to come up with three answers. All you need to win for your charity that £2,500
0:37:31 > 0:37:35is for just one of those answers to be pointless. 60 seconds start now.
0:37:35 > 0:37:43I can only think of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Italian Job. That's the only two I know.
0:37:43 > 0:37:50The one I can think of that I hope is quite obscure was with his wife and it's called Mr and Mrs Smith.
0:37:50 > 0:37:57- I've read the book. - They made it with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, a new one.
0:37:57 > 0:38:05- It's not that one.- No, no. But people won't connect him with it.- I hope it's Mr and Mrs Smith!
0:38:05 > 0:38:07And not Mr and Mrs Jones or Brown!
0:38:07 > 0:38:13I think it's Mr and Mrs Smith and it's about this couple who have been married for ages
0:38:13 > 0:38:19- and the marriage is fraying at the edges.- Do you know any others in case he's not in The Italian Job?
0:38:19 > 0:38:24Just Butch Cassidy and he wasn't in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, was he?
0:38:24 > 0:38:28- I didn't see that. - No, I don't think he was in that.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32- What about The Italian Job? - 5 seconds left.
0:38:32 > 0:38:39- Oh, lawks. I'm hoping Mr and Mrs Smith will get us through. - There is your minute gone.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43We're looking for Paul Newman films. I now need three answers.
0:38:43 > 0:38:49- Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Italian Job.- The Italian Job.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53- And Mr and Mrs Smith.- Of those three, what's your best punt?
0:38:53 > 0:38:58- I'm really hoping that Mr and Mrs Smith...- We'll put that third.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02- What's your least likely pointless answer?- Butch Cassidy.
0:39:02 > 0:39:07OK, let's put them up in that order. Here we go.
0:39:11 > 0:39:17We're looking for Paul Newman films. This was your least confident pointless answer.
0:39:17 > 0:39:24You only need one pointless answer to win that jackpot of £2,500 for your charity.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28Let's see if this is right and, if it is, how many said it.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30It's right.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32But will it go down to zero?
0:39:32 > 0:39:37If it does, your charities benefit to the tune of £2,500.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid finishes on 26.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44APPLAUSE
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Oi!
0:39:46 > 0:39:52Not a pointless answer. You only have two more chances to win that jackpot of £2,500.
0:39:52 > 0:39:58- Who are you giving your money to? - If we win, we'll be giving it to Breast Cancer Care.
0:39:58 > 0:40:03It's a fantastic charity about life with breast cancer and life after it.
0:40:03 > 0:40:09- It's really positive and I really hope we win for that.- Very good. - APPLAUSE
0:40:14 > 0:40:19Let's hope one of your remaining answers, maybe both of them, are pointless.
0:40:19 > 0:40:25We're looking for Paul Newman films. Your next answer is The Italian Job.
0:40:26 > 0:40:31Let's see if that's correct and how many people said The Italian Job. Good luck.
0:40:33 > 0:40:34No!
0:40:34 > 0:40:39Unfortunately, that's an incorrect answer, so not a pointless answer.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43Everything now hinges on Mr and Mrs Smith. You're quite confident?
0:40:43 > 0:40:49- I hope so.- You've read the book. - I've read the book, he stars in it with his wife.
0:40:49 > 0:40:54They're an ageing couple. I just hope no one remembers it!
0:40:54 > 0:41:00- I hope I'm the only person who saw it!- And, as Ben says, everyone will be thinking of Brad and Angelina.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04OK. Very, very best of luck. It'll be brilliant if you win this.
0:41:04 > 0:41:10We're looking for Paul Newman films. This was the answer you had most faith in. Mr and Mrs Smith.
0:41:10 > 0:41:18This is your last shot at that jackpot of £2,500. Is it right and how many people said it?
0:41:20 > 0:41:24- Oh, no!- What was it called, then? Mr and Mrs Jones?
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- Oh, bad luck!- Oh, no!
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Oh, no! I'm sorry.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Oh, no, I'm so sorry!
0:41:32 > 0:41:38- What was it called?- Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that crucial pointless answer.
0:41:38 > 0:41:45We'll find out shortly what that was called. But you do, of course, get our Pointless trophy.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49- But you didn't win the jackpot. - Oh, dear. What is it?
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Richard?
0:41:51 > 0:41:56It was a 1990 film with Joanne Woodward called Mr and Mrs Bridge.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00- Oh, damn!- If you'd said that... - Oh, we'd have won!
0:42:00 > 0:42:04- ..it was a pointless answer. - Oh, so close and so far away!
0:42:04 > 0:42:10You played so well throughout. Let's look at the pointless answers. A New Kind of Love from 1963,
0:42:10 > 0:42:14Absence of Malice, Exodus was a pointless answer,
0:42:16 > 0:42:20From The Terrace, Lady L with Sophia Loren
0:42:20 > 0:42:26and there's Mr and Mrs Bridge. Paris Blues, The Prize and Alfred Hitchcock's Torn Curtain.
0:42:26 > 0:42:33Donald Sutherland is in the remake of The Italian Job. He's the grizzled old guy in that.
0:42:33 > 0:42:41- Oh, dear.- Did you know many of those? - No, none of them, really. - I didn't know any, so, you know.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44That's really tough. You did very well.
0:42:44 > 0:42:49- We fought off the competition. - You did, but we have to say goodbye to you now.
0:42:49 > 0:42:55It's been brilliant having you on the show. Thank you so much for playing.
0:42:55 > 0:43:00I'm so sorry. It was nearly there.
0:43:00 > 0:43:06And a massive thank you to Dick and Dom, Charlie and Susanna and Russell and Dawn.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Very well done to all of them.
0:43:11 > 0:43:18So nobody's won our jackpot, but we thank our celebrities for taking part in Pointless.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21We'll donate £500 to each pair's charity.
0:43:21 > 0:43:25- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.- And from me.
