CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:130:00:16

Thank you very much indeed.

0:00:230:00:25

Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,

0:00:250:00:26

and welcome to this special outdoors edition of Pointless Celebrities,

0:00:260:00:29

the quiz where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.

0:00:290:00:32

Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities.

0:00:320:00:34

CHEERING

0:00:340:00:37

And couple number one.

0:00:390:00:41

I'm Jules Hudson, and I present BBC's Escape To The Country

0:00:410:00:43

and Countryfile.

0:00:430:00:45

I'm Tom Heap, I also present on Countryfile,

0:00:450:00:47

as well as reporting on Panorama and Costing The Earth on Radio 4.

0:00:470:00:50

CHEERING

0:00:500:00:52

Couple number two.

0:00:550:00:56

I'm Paul Heiney.

0:00:560:00:57

I've been a television person for a very long time,

0:00:570:01:00

but I've also been an organic farmer,

0:01:000:01:02

and, these days, an ocean sailor.

0:01:020:01:04

And I'm Miranda Krestovnikoff,

0:01:040:01:06

and I present wildlife pieces for The One Show and for Coast.

0:01:060:01:09

CHEERING

0:01:090:01:12

Couple number three.

0:01:130:01:16

Hi, I'm Bill Oddie, and I'm much older than that lot,

0:01:160:01:19

and I'm trying to be an ambassador for all things wild.

0:01:190:01:24

And I'm Naomi Wilkinson,

0:01:240:01:26

and I present Naomi's Nightmares Of Nature for CBBC.

0:01:260:01:29

CHEERING

0:01:290:01:32

And finally, couple number four.

0:01:320:01:35

I'm Martin Hughes-Games, a chicken fancier, an ex-motorcycle racer,

0:01:350:01:39

and sidekick to Chris Packham on Springwatch.

0:01:390:01:42

And I am indeed Chris Packham from Springwatch,

0:01:420:01:44

naturalist and broadcaster for the BBC.

0:01:440:01:46

Thanks very much, all of you.

0:01:480:01:50

We'll get to find out more about each of you

0:01:500:01:52

throughout the show as it goes along.

0:01:520:01:53

So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:530:01:56

He's a wise owl, bookworm, and culture vulture -

0:01:560:01:59

the big three.

0:01:590:02:00

It's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.

0:02:000:02:02

-Hiya. Hey, everybody. Good evening.

-CHEERING

0:02:020:02:06

Good evening to you.

0:02:060:02:08

-Oh, good evening.

-What a lovely bunch.

0:02:080:02:10

When I first heard we were doing an outdoors special...

0:02:100:02:12

-Yeah.

-..I thought it was now to be like when you were at school,

0:02:120:02:15

and on Friday you can go and you work outside,

0:02:150:02:16

on a Friday afternoon, by the tree.

0:02:160:02:18

-Yeah. By the tree!

-Wouldn't that be lovely?

0:02:180:02:20

-We should do Pointless outside.

-We should... In the summer!

0:02:200:02:22

That would be really nice, wouldn't it?

0:02:220:02:24

We've had a lot of people who've been on before.

0:02:240:02:26

-Yes.

-Chris and Bill were on before, and got through to the head-to-head,

0:02:260:02:29

which was very impressive, but they've split up this time.

0:02:290:02:31

And Chris has taken the unusual step of teaming up with Martin,

0:02:310:02:34

who got knocked out in Round One.

0:02:340:02:36

-Thank you.

-That's interesting.

0:02:360:02:37

Bill, I think, slightly brighter, taking Naomi on board this time,

0:02:370:02:41

-but we have a winner, an actual winner...

-We do, yeah.

0:02:410:02:44

..a jackpot-winner in our midst,

0:02:440:02:45

and that's Miranda, who won with Diarmuid Gavin.

0:02:450:02:48

Not just a trophy-winner, but a jackpot-winner as well.

0:02:480:02:50

-No...

-Very impressive. No-one's ever won two jackpots.

0:02:500:02:52

Thanks, that's great. That makes me feel so good.

0:02:520:02:54

We've had people winning two trophies, but not two jackpots.

0:02:540:02:57

It's interesting, this outdoor stuff.

0:02:570:02:58

People talk about Game Of Thrones and all of these television shows,

0:02:580:03:01

but the single biggest television programme on British TV,

0:03:010:03:04

ratings-wise, is Countryfile,

0:03:040:03:05

and the biggest television show on BBC Two is Springwatch.

0:03:050:03:07

What about that?! You just have to say Countryfile,

0:03:070:03:10

-and you get a spontaneous round of applause.

-Yeah. Countryfile!

0:03:100:03:12

CHEERING

0:03:120:03:14

-Oh.

-That's how they start each episode of Countryfile.

0:03:140:03:18

-Someone goes, "Welcome to Countryfile!"

-LAUGHTER

0:03:180:03:21

And the whole place goes nuts.

0:03:210:03:22

-Thank you very much indeed.

-It's a pleasure.

0:03:220:03:24

The first question is all about land, as well,

0:03:240:03:26

you'll be delighted to hear.

0:03:260:03:27

-All about land.

-Look at that.

0:03:270:03:29

Fabulous. Well, as usual,

0:03:290:03:30

all of today's questions have been put to 100 people before the show.

0:03:300:03:33

Our contestants here are looking for

0:03:330:03:34

those all-important pointless answers -

0:03:340:03:36

these being answers that none of our 100 people gave.

0:03:360:03:38

Find one of those, and we will add £250 to the jackpot.

0:03:380:03:42

Now, as today's show is a celebrity special,

0:03:420:03:44

each of our lovely celebrities is playing for a nominated charity.

0:03:440:03:47

We are going to start off with a jackpot of £2,500.

0:03:470:03:50

There we are.

0:03:500:03:52

Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:03:530:03:56

CHEERING

0:03:560:03:58

I'm sure you don't need to be reminded of this,

0:04:010:04:03

but I'm going to say it anyhow.

0:04:030:04:05

The pair with the highest score at the end of each round

0:04:050:04:08

will be eliminated. That's how it works.

0:04:080:04:10

So just make sure you're not that high-scoring pair, obviously,

0:04:100:04:12

and no conferring for the first two rounds.

0:04:120:04:14

Best of luck. Our first category this evening is...

0:04:140:04:19

Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:04:210:04:23

and who's going to go second.

0:04:230:04:25

And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:04:250:04:27

OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.

0:04:310:04:33

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

0:04:330:04:38

Countries that are larger than the UK, Richard.

0:04:410:04:43

We are looking for any country in the world

0:04:430:04:46

that is larger in land area, please, than the UK.

0:04:460:04:48

As always, by country,

0:04:480:04:50

we mean a sovereign state that's a member of the UN in its own right.

0:04:500:04:52

There's about 80-odd countries in the world

0:04:520:04:55

that are larger than the UK in land area, so any of those, please.

0:04:550:04:59

Thank you very much. Richard.

0:04:590:05:01

Jules. Now, obviously, Escape To The Country,

0:05:010:05:04

an enormously popular programme.

0:05:040:05:05

Have you ever been presenting that

0:05:050:05:07

while you've been property-hunting yourself?

0:05:070:05:09

-I have.

-See, that's got to be a conflict of interest, hasn't it?

0:05:090:05:13

I have, and, in fact, we moved about four years ago

0:05:130:05:16

to Herefordshire from Wales,

0:05:160:05:17

and everybody assumed when I moved that I'd found it on the show.

0:05:170:05:20

Yeah, yeah. Well, they would.

0:05:200:05:22

-Yeah.

-But no.

0:05:220:05:23

-It was all our own work. All our own work.

-Really?

0:05:230:05:26

But did you ever look around a house on the show and think,

0:05:260:05:28

"Actually, might just take this one quietly off the..."

0:05:280:05:31

Yeah. It's one of those. You are spoilt for riches, really.

0:05:310:05:34

-Yeah.

-So you do end up being quite picky,

0:05:340:05:36

in order to distinguish those that you would actually buy, but, yeah.

0:05:360:05:39

To be honest with you,

0:05:390:05:40

when I do find one that I'd like to buy, I will usually say so.

0:05:400:05:42

So, Jules, now,

0:05:420:05:44

countries larger than the UK.

0:05:440:05:47

Yes.

0:05:470:05:48

Erm...

0:05:480:05:50

Uzbekistan, maybe.

0:05:520:05:53

Uzbekistan, says Jules.

0:05:530:05:55

Uzbekistan.

0:05:550:05:57

Oh, I'm not getting anything from the...

0:05:570:05:59

Oh, the inscrutable faces of your rivals!

0:05:590:06:01

Nothing being given away.

0:06:010:06:03

Let's find out. Uzbekistan.

0:06:030:06:05

Is it right, and how many people said it, if it is?

0:06:050:06:08

It's not looking good.

0:06:090:06:11

-It is right! Look at that.

-Oh!

0:06:110:06:13

Uzbekistan.

0:06:130:06:14

Oh, down it goes, Jules. Look at that!

0:06:160:06:18

-Oh, mate!

-It's 1!

0:06:180:06:20

What a start to the show, Jules!

0:06:200:06:23

1 for Uzbekistan. Well done.

0:06:230:06:26

That's a terrific answer, Jules. Very well played.

0:06:260:06:28

Lovely way to start the show.

0:06:280:06:30

It's actually just less than double the size of the UK, Uzbekistan.

0:06:300:06:33

We should do Escape To The Country in Uzbekistan.

0:06:330:06:35

-What would that be like?

-Yeah. Escape From The... Yeah, yeah.

0:06:350:06:39

Thanks very much. Paul, welcome to Pointless.

0:06:410:06:43

-Thank you very much.

-Great to have you here.

0:06:430:06:45

-Thank you.

-You've done a great many things, Paul.

0:06:450:06:48

You've sailed single-handedly...

0:06:480:06:49

You've sailed, I think, 11,000 miles.

0:06:490:06:51

Yes, I recently did a trip on my boat down to Cape Horn,

0:06:510:06:57

and that was a round trip of 18,000 miles,

0:06:570:07:00

of which I sailed 11,000 of those miles on my tod.

0:07:000:07:04

-Wow.

-Yeah, absolutely.

0:07:040:07:06

That's amazing.

0:07:060:07:07

How many actual days was that, of you...?

0:07:100:07:12

Well, the longest I was at sea on my own was 72 days.

0:07:120:07:18

-Wow.

-Which is quite a stretch.

0:07:180:07:20

-That's a long stretch.

-And that was all the way from South America,

0:07:200:07:22

up the South Atlantic,

0:07:220:07:24

into the North Atlantic to the Azores.

0:07:240:07:26

And there's plenty to keep you going, obviously -

0:07:260:07:28

a lot of tasks to do while you're awake.

0:07:280:07:30

Actually, one of the biggest problems

0:07:300:07:33

-is getting completely and utterly bored.

-I bet.

0:07:330:07:35

Because there are times where the boat is just going nicely

0:07:350:07:38

and the weather's settled,

0:07:380:07:40

and the only thing that is on your mind is,

0:07:400:07:42

what is the next meal going to be?

0:07:420:07:45

Yeah. Did you do any fishing off the back?

0:07:450:07:48

-Whenever I put a fishing line over the side of the boat...

-Yeah?

0:07:480:07:50

..the fish gather round and laugh.

0:07:500:07:53

-Oh, nothing worse than a fish's laugh!

-"It's him again."

0:07:530:07:55

I've never caught anything.

0:07:550:07:57

Anyway, now, Paul, what would you like to go for?

0:07:570:08:01

I'm going to go for one of the countries that I sailed past,

0:08:010:08:04

because I knew how big it was because I knew how long it took me,

0:08:040:08:07

and that is Argentina.

0:08:070:08:09

Argentina. Let's see where we go with Argentina.

0:08:090:08:13

Well, it's right. Our only score at the moment is 1.

0:08:160:08:19

Argentina is 25.

0:08:210:08:22

Well done. That'll do for us.

0:08:220:08:24

Yeah, that's more than 11 times bigger than the UK, Argentina.

0:08:280:08:32

-It's big, isn't it?

-It is big, isn't it? Thank you.

0:08:320:08:34

-Naomi, welcome to Pointless.

-Thank you.

-Great to have you here.

0:08:340:08:37

Now, let's just talk about these nightmares, the Natural Nightmares.

0:08:370:08:40

-Yeah.

-What is the worst nightmare you have faced so far?

0:08:400:08:43

Well, it's probably been swimming with sharks,

0:08:430:08:45

because that was a huge fear for me growing up,

0:08:450:08:48

but I've now been in the water with them without a cage

0:08:480:08:50

-about seven times, around the world.

-What?! Without a cage?!

0:08:500:08:53

Yeah, and I've just re-educated my mind,

0:08:530:08:56

and learned that actually they're doing a fantastic job in the oceans,

0:08:560:08:59

-and I need to respect...

-Aren't they?! No, on effort and attainment,

0:08:590:09:02

they get one A, I have to say.

0:09:020:09:04

They are doing a brilliant job.

0:09:040:09:05

But they're quite good at eating people, when provoked.

0:09:050:09:09

-What's...?

-Well, apparently it's always mistaken identity.

0:09:090:09:12

-I've been with experts everywhere I've gone.

-Yeah.

0:09:120:09:14

So I've always been with people who truly know the species.

0:09:140:09:16

Do you think experts are more tasty than you?

0:09:160:09:18

-They probably go for them first.

-I swim well behind them.

0:09:180:09:20

No, so usually they're with,

0:09:200:09:22

you know, species of sharks that are not harmful to people.

0:09:220:09:26

-You know?

-I see. OK.

0:09:260:09:27

OK, cos I've seen those films of people in cages,

0:09:270:09:29

and they get bashed around.

0:09:290:09:31

That looks terrifying.

0:09:310:09:32

But it's... But the shark is not trying to eat you.

0:09:320:09:34

It's a bit itchy-nosed?

0:09:340:09:36

It's just going about its business in the ocean.

0:09:360:09:38

Yes, but its business at that moment is trying to eat you, surely?

0:09:380:09:41

It's fine, we're not making a moral judgment on the shark,

0:09:410:09:44

we're just saying it's quite frightening. Yeah.

0:09:440:09:46

Yeah, no, so it's been a big re-education of my mind,

0:09:460:09:49

-and a lot of fear-facing.

-Fantastic.

0:09:490:09:51

And here, now, Naomi, what would you like to go for?

0:09:510:09:53

We've got a range of scores so far.

0:09:530:09:55

I'm going to go for Kazakhstan.

0:09:550:09:59

-Kazakhstan. Sticking with the -stans.

-Yeah.

0:09:590:10:01

Let's find out if that's right,

0:10:010:10:02

and let's see how many of our 100 people said Kazakhstan.

0:10:020:10:05

It's right.

0:10:070:10:09

Well, 25 was our high score, until this point,

0:10:090:10:12

and it remains our high score. 1 is our low score.

0:10:120:10:14

No, it's 7. APPLAUSE

0:10:140:10:16

Phew!

0:10:160:10:18

Great answer, Naomi, very well played.

0:10:210:10:22

Almost exactly the same size as Argentina.

0:10:220:10:24

-Is it really?!

-It is, yeah.

0:10:240:10:27

Thank you very much. Now, Martin, welcome to Pointless.

0:10:270:10:30

-Thank you.

-Do you have a favourite season, Martin?

0:10:300:10:32

You've got your Springwatch and your Autumnwatch.

0:10:320:10:35

Does one thrill you a little more than the other?

0:10:350:10:37

It's got to be springtime.

0:10:370:10:38

Full of hope, new life - I love it. Yeah, springtime.

0:10:380:10:41

That is true. And, Martin, the other thing I want to ask you about is,

0:10:410:10:44

-you are a qualified rope technician.

-Yes.

0:10:440:10:46

-This is exciting.

-I hang off buildings and things.

0:10:460:10:48

Rope access.

0:10:480:10:50

Any hairy moments?

0:10:500:10:52

Clifton Suspension Bridge.

0:10:530:10:54

I hate... I had to work underneath Clifton Suspension Bridge,

0:10:540:10:58

and just going along the rope to get into position

0:10:580:11:01

to the 72m drop there...

0:11:010:11:03

-Yeah?

-I was a bit edgy,

0:11:030:11:05

and my fellow rope-access people called me Windy Martin after that.

0:11:050:11:08

-Yeah.

-I was just a bit...

-LAUGHTER

0:11:080:11:11

But I haven't fallen off yet.

0:11:110:11:12

My friend, Arthur,

0:11:120:11:14

well, you've got two ropes,

0:11:140:11:15

and we were busy chopping down all the undergrowth,

0:11:150:11:17

and I said to him, "Arthur, you've just chopped through your rope."

0:11:170:11:20

And he said, "Oh, so I have. Yeah."

0:11:200:11:22

He chopped through his safety rope, luckily,

0:11:220:11:24

-so he didn't fall off.

-I was going to say, was this in a cartoon?

0:11:240:11:27

So he tied it back together and carried on chopping.

0:11:270:11:30

-Wow.

-It's always exciting.

0:11:300:11:31

I'm surprised it's just Windy Martin at times.

0:11:310:11:33

Anyway, there we are.

0:11:330:11:35

Martin, what would you like to go for?

0:11:350:11:37

This is a nightmare, cos last time I got 100 the first time,

0:11:370:11:40

so do I take a risk, or do I play safe?

0:11:400:11:43

So I'm thinking...

0:11:430:11:46

I'm going to take a risk.

0:11:460:11:48

Central African Republic - CAR.

0:11:480:11:51

Central African Republic.

0:11:510:11:53

Yeah.

0:11:530:11:54

Oh, look at their... Look at the respect that commands, Martin.

0:11:540:11:57

-They like that.

-You have silenced the room.

0:11:570:12:00

Currently they like it.

0:12:000:12:01

If it's wrong, they'll be booing, you know that, don't you?

0:12:010:12:04

Central African Republic.

0:12:040:12:06

Let's find out if it's right,

0:12:060:12:07

and let's see how far down the column Martin gets.

0:12:070:12:09

Good luck.

0:12:090:12:10

-It's right!

-Oh, thank God for that.

0:12:120:12:14

Now, traditionally, this goes very low,

0:12:140:12:16

but we've seen a bit of a change to that trend lately.

0:12:160:12:19

Oh, not today. There we are.

0:12:190:12:21

4. Very well done indeed, Martin.

0:12:210:12:23

That paid off.

0:12:230:12:25

A qualified risk technician you are as well, sir.

0:12:250:12:28

Beautifully played, Martin.

0:12:280:12:29

Thank you for introducing Central African Republic onto the show.

0:12:290:12:32

-Yeah, 4 points. It wouldn't have used to get that, would it?

-No.

0:12:320:12:35

It's got much more famous. Two and a half times the size of the UK.

0:12:350:12:38

Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round,

0:12:380:12:40

so let's look at the scores.

0:12:400:12:41

1, Jules - hats off to you, sir,

0:12:410:12:42

-the best score of the pass is yours.

-Thank you.

0:12:420:12:45

Martin, there, with 4,

0:12:450:12:46

so Martin and Chris are looking pretty strong as well.

0:12:460:12:48

7 is where we find Naomi and Bill.

0:12:480:12:50

And then 25.

0:12:500:12:52

25, Paul and Miranda.

0:12:520:12:54

So, Miranda...

0:12:540:12:55

Well, maybe some of the lower-hanging fruit has been taken -

0:12:550:12:58

maybe there'll be some higher scores in this next pass.

0:12:580:13:00

But a low score from you is what we need, so good luck.

0:13:000:13:02

We're going to come back down the line now.

0:13:020:13:04

Can the second players please step up to the podium.

0:13:040:13:06

Now, then, Chris, answer me this.

0:13:100:13:12

I read somewhere that you have wrestled with a lion.

0:13:120:13:15

On more than one occasion. In the old days,

0:13:150:13:17

-when we were doing Really Wild Show...

-Yeah.

0:13:170:13:19

..meeting captive, allegedly tame animals

0:13:190:13:22

was part and parcel of the process,

0:13:220:13:23

so people would turn up and say,

0:13:230:13:25

"I've hand-reared this tiger, or this lion.

0:13:250:13:27

-"It's very, very friendly."

-Yeah.

0:13:270:13:28

And for the first five minutes, before it got bored,

0:13:280:13:30

it invariably was.

0:13:300:13:32

After that, they became as frisky as your domestic cat,

0:13:320:13:35

but obviously 20 times the size.

0:13:350:13:36

But so strong and so much scarier!

0:13:360:13:38

My partner keeps tigers, so I...

0:13:380:13:41

-You know...

-OK.

0:13:410:13:43

Chosen on that behalf.

0:13:430:13:45

-What, under the bed, or...?

-LAUGHTER

0:13:450:13:48

No. So, she rescues tigers that have been abused in circuses

0:13:480:13:51

and other things, and keeps them on the Isle of Wight, and some of them,

0:13:510:13:55

because they've been hand-reared, are very friendly.

0:13:550:13:58

And she and I, you know, we...

0:13:580:14:00

We get close to them,

0:14:000:14:01

and we stroke them and cuddle them and they're very friendly.

0:14:010:14:04

-They come up and say hello. It's an enormous privilege.

-Wow.

0:14:040:14:06

There's an awful lot of people now on the Isle of Wight going,

0:14:060:14:09

"Wait, rewind that for one second!"

0:14:090:14:10

Now, then, Chris. We are looking for...

0:14:130:14:15

He's going to be good at this, I think, Chris.

0:14:160:14:18

OK, I'm going to stick with my colleague, and stick with Africa,

0:14:180:14:22

and I'm going to go for Namibia.

0:14:220:14:24

Namibia, says Chris.

0:14:240:14:25

There is your red line, Chris.

0:14:250:14:27

If you can get below that red line with Namibia,

0:14:270:14:29

you are through to Round Two.

0:14:290:14:30

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Namibia.

0:14:300:14:32

It's right.

0:14:360:14:37

Very well done. Through you go.

0:14:400:14:42

Namibia, 1.

0:14:420:14:43

Wow. Well done.

0:14:430:14:47

You join Jules on the low-scorers' pedestal, there.

0:14:470:14:49

5 is your total. Well done, on that far podium.

0:14:490:14:52

They are very clever on today's show, aren't they?

0:14:520:14:54

That's another terrific answer.

0:14:540:14:55

About three and a half times the size of the UK, Namibia.

0:14:550:14:58

Thanks very much, Richard.

0:14:580:14:59

Now, Bill, welcome back.

0:14:590:15:01

Welcome back. You've been a head-to-header before,

0:15:010:15:03

-but still not a finalist.

-No.

0:15:030:15:06

Got to have our eyes on that final, surely, Bill?

0:15:060:15:08

-No, no, no, I just...

-What?!

0:15:080:15:11

One thing at a time.

0:15:110:15:12

-Now, Bill...

-Yes?

0:15:150:15:17

You've been a twitcher, an ornithologist...

0:15:170:15:19

I'm not a twitcher, but don't go into it.

0:15:190:15:21

OK, we won't go into it. Not a twitcher.

0:15:210:15:22

Is there still one bird that you are longing to see, and have not yet?

0:15:220:15:26

Oh, I think maybe a kiwi.

0:15:260:15:29

A kiwi, yeah.

0:15:290:15:30

Why have you...?

0:15:300:15:31

-Because I haven't been to New Zealand.

-Oh, I see, fair enough.

0:15:310:15:35

And I haven't been taken out in the middle of the night.

0:15:350:15:37

Because they go pottering around on the beaches,

0:15:370:15:40

with David Attenborough and Chris, probably,

0:15:400:15:42

-and people like that, you know.

-And me.

-And you, yeah.

0:15:420:15:44

-They've all seen them.

-Oh, yeah, we've seen them.

-Yeah.

0:15:440:15:47

I feel so inadequate.

0:15:470:15:48

We all went out before the show, didn't we, guys?

0:15:480:15:50

We went Kiwi-spotting. It was great fun. That was fun.

0:15:500:15:53

Well, Bill, back to the game. You are on 7 points.

0:15:530:15:55

Our high-scorers, behind you, are Miranda and Paul on 25,

0:15:550:15:58

so, 17 or less is your target.

0:15:580:16:00

Erm, Peru.

0:16:010:16:04

Peru, says Bill. Peru. Here is your red line.

0:16:040:16:06

Another quite low red line.

0:16:060:16:09

You want to get below that with Peru.

0:16:090:16:10

Let's see if you can. How many people said it?

0:16:100:16:12

It's right.

0:16:150:16:16

You've done it! Very well done indeed.

0:16:200:16:22

Look at that! 8 for Peru. Very nicely done. 15 is your total.

0:16:220:16:25

Well played, Bill. Another very good answer.

0:16:280:16:30

It's over five times the size of the UK, Peru.

0:16:300:16:32

I thought it was a big one.

0:16:320:16:33

-Bigger than you'd think, isn't it?

-Isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:16:330:16:36

Now, then, Miranda, welcome to Pointless.

0:16:360:16:37

-Welcome back to Pointless, I must say.

-Thank you, thank you.

0:16:370:16:41

Now, on your wonderful exploratory programmes that you make, Miranda...

0:16:410:16:44

-Yeah?

-Do you have any say in what you want to do

0:16:440:16:46

or where you want to go?

0:16:460:16:48

-Erm...

-Are you able to go to a programme maker

0:16:480:16:50

and say, "I would love to go and explore the Titanic wreck,

0:16:500:16:53

-"if that's OK?"

-Oh, yeah.

0:16:530:16:54

Yes, and then they'd say,

0:16:540:16:55

"We probably haven't got enough money, or the facilities."

0:16:550:16:58

Not yet. Oh, but they will have at some stage.

0:16:580:17:00

-One day it will be explorable.

-Yeah.

0:17:000:17:01

With the fantastic advances with things like satellite imagery,

0:17:010:17:04

I should think, must mean that

0:17:040:17:06

there'll be good ideas of new places to explore

0:17:060:17:08

and things you might find.

0:17:080:17:09

For me, I'm a diver, so I just want to do

0:17:090:17:11

more underwater explanation...

0:17:110:17:13

-Explanation? Exploration.

-LAUGHTER

0:17:130:17:15

But that is again very, very expensive.

0:17:150:17:17

-Yeah.

-But there's some amazing technology out there.

0:17:170:17:19

-Yeah. It's only going to get better. And cheaper.

-Yeah.

0:17:190:17:22

-Watch this space.

-Watch this space, indeed. Now, Miranda,

0:17:220:17:25

-you have an impossible task ahead of you.

-I know.

0:17:250:17:27

Unless you think Tom is somebody who might score 100 points.

0:17:270:17:29

Does he look like a geographer, though?

0:17:290:17:31

He looks like he might know his geography.

0:17:310:17:33

-He has that bearing, doesn't he?

-I know, it's that shirt.

0:17:330:17:35

So... Yeah, so, we're thinking...

0:17:350:17:37

Well, I'm thinking Liberia.

0:17:370:17:40

You're going to go for Liberia.

0:17:400:17:41

Now, you want to be scoring minus 11 or less.

0:17:410:17:44

-Yeah, which is obviously possible(!)

-LAUGHTER

0:17:440:17:47

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Liberia.

0:17:470:17:50

-No!

-Oh, no.

0:17:540:17:55

Oh, I see, you're going to go to minus 11 that way - that way round.

0:17:570:18:00

I see. I'm afraid, Miranda, that scores you 100 points,

0:18:000:18:03

and that takes you up to 125.

0:18:030:18:04

-I'm sorry.

-So sorry, Miranda.

0:18:040:18:06

A worthy guess, and a perfect answer in countries smaller than the UK.

0:18:060:18:10

-It would have been terrific.

-LAUGHTER

0:18:100:18:11

-How much smaller is it than the UK?

-It's about half the size -

0:18:110:18:14

just under half the size of the UK, Liberia.

0:18:140:18:16

-There we go.

-Thanks, Richard.

-Bad luck.

0:18:160:18:19

Now, Tom, Countryfile.

0:18:190:18:20

We have discussed what a sort of behemoth it is.

0:18:200:18:23

It's just this enormous programme.

0:18:230:18:24

It continues to be massively popular.

0:18:240:18:26

What do you put that down to?

0:18:260:18:27

Cos it's not just watched by farmers, is it?

0:18:270:18:29

Far from it. In fact, half the audience is urban, and half rural.

0:18:290:18:33

No, I think, in some ways, it's terribly simple.

0:18:330:18:36

As we live more of our lives on, you know,

0:18:360:18:38

computer screens and phones,

0:18:380:18:40

and the digital world -

0:18:400:18:41

if you like, the Matrix world,

0:18:410:18:43

if you remember the movie -

0:18:430:18:44

I think people actually hanker after a bit of the natural,

0:18:440:18:47

-a bit of the real.

-Yeah.

0:18:470:18:48

You know, something that they can see and smell

0:18:480:18:50

and taste and understand,

0:18:500:18:52

and also the careers of people involved in that - people like that.

0:18:520:18:55

Now, talking of things you can see and smell and taste,

0:18:550:18:57

I read that when you were in Iceland,

0:18:570:18:59

you were so hungry that you had to catch a seagull and eat it.

0:18:590:19:03

It is true that I have eaten a seagull, yeah,

0:19:030:19:05

-and it was in Iceland.

-Good eating?

0:19:050:19:07

-No, pretty horrid, actually.

-No. Yeah.

0:19:070:19:09

If you can imagine a kind of chicken

0:19:090:19:11

that had been crossbred with a salmon, I'd say,

0:19:110:19:13

something like that.

0:19:130:19:15

-It sounds delicious so far, I have to say(!)

-Yeah.

0:19:150:19:17

But, I mean, it did sustain you, though? I mean, it kept...

0:19:170:19:20

Yeah, I kept some of it down,

0:19:200:19:23

-and that bit probably helped.

-LAUGHTER

0:19:230:19:26

Tom, the good news is you're already through,

0:19:260:19:27

so it doesn't matter what you score here.

0:19:270:19:29

I'm very grateful to them for it.

0:19:290:19:31

However, I wouldn't be at all surprised

0:19:310:19:32

if there are a few pointless answers out there.

0:19:320:19:34

We've had two 1s, so far, from your team-mate,

0:19:340:19:36

and Chris over there.

0:19:360:19:38

Shall we see if we can find a pointless answer?

0:19:380:19:41

I'll stick with the one I was going to say anyway,

0:19:410:19:43

and I'll say Madagascar.

0:19:430:19:44

Madagascar, says Tom.

0:19:440:19:45

Madagascar. No red line - you're already through.

0:19:450:19:48

How many of our 100 people said Madagascar?

0:19:480:19:50

It's right.

0:19:530:19:54

-Oh!

-1! 1! CHEERING

0:20:000:20:03

-Well done!

-1 score. Never better.

0:20:030:20:05

It takes your total up to 2.

0:20:050:20:07

Great work, Tom, and 2 points on that first podium -

0:20:080:20:11

very, very impressive.

0:20:110:20:12

But let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.

0:20:120:20:15

Bolivia. Burkina Faso.

0:20:170:20:19

Cameroon, a pointless answer.

0:20:190:20:21

Oman. Papua New Guinea is a pointless answer.

0:20:210:20:24

Philippines.

0:20:240:20:26

South Sudan, the newest of the pointless answers there.

0:20:270:20:29

Turkmenistan would have been a good one. Vietnam.

0:20:290:20:32

Four others - Cote d'Ivoire, Gabon, Zambia and Guinea.

0:20:320:20:35

Guinea is the country in the world

0:20:350:20:37

that is almost identical size to the UK.

0:20:370:20:39

Let's take a look at the three largest scorers, shall we?

0:20:390:20:42

All big countries, as you'd imagine.

0:20:420:20:43

Russia, 79.

0:20:430:20:46

Our friends in France, on 81.

0:20:460:20:48

And the United States would have scored you 90.

0:20:480:20:50

There we are. Thank you very much, Richard.

0:20:500:20:52

So, at the end of first round, the pair we have to say goodbye to,

0:20:520:20:55

with their high score of 125 -

0:20:550:20:56

-I'm sorry, Miranda and Paul, it is you.

-That's OK.

0:20:560:20:59

Thank you so much for coming to play.

0:20:590:21:01

Please come and play again.

0:21:010:21:02

Brilliant to have you on. Miranda and Paul.

0:21:020:21:04

CHEERING

0:21:040:21:07

But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:21:080:21:11

Well, we are suddenly down to three pairs.

0:21:150:21:17

At the end of this round, we will have to say goodbye to another pair.

0:21:170:21:20

We won't like that, but that's just the way the game goes.

0:21:200:21:23

You've seen off our only winner.

0:21:230:21:25

So, kind of, congratulations, I suppose.

0:21:250:21:27

But particular congratulations, Tom and Jules, very well done.

0:21:270:21:30

Lovely low scoring on that first podium.

0:21:300:21:32

Best of luck to all three pairs.

0:21:320:21:33

Our category for Round Two this evening...

0:21:330:21:35

Fictional Animals.

0:21:380:21:40

Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:21:400:21:43

-and who's going to go second.

-Shall I go first?

0:21:430:21:45

And, whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:21:450:21:47

And the question concerns...

0:21:510:21:54

LAUGHTER

0:21:550:21:57

-Famous swine, Richard.

-Famous swine, yeah.

0:21:570:21:59

We are going to show you six clues on each board.

0:21:590:22:02

The answers to each of those are famous fictional pigs or boars.

0:22:020:22:06

Can you give us the most obscure answer, please?

0:22:060:22:08

There's going to be 12 in all to have a go at at home.

0:22:080:22:10

OK, so who are these famous fictional pigs or boars?

0:22:100:22:14

We have got, on our first board...

0:22:140:22:16

I'm going to read those all again.

0:22:370:22:38

Tom.

0:22:570:22:58

I'm going to go for...

0:22:580:23:01

the animated piggy bank,

0:23:010:23:04

one of my favourite characters, Hamm.

0:23:040:23:07

Hamm, says Tom. Hamm. Let's see if that's right,

0:23:070:23:10

and let's see how many of our 100 said Hamm.

0:23:100:23:12

It's right.

0:23:130:23:15

Well done, mate.

0:23:150:23:16

Oh, go on. Go on.

0:23:190:23:21

-Very well done indeed.

-Well done.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:23:210:23:23

Another single-figure score on podium one there, from Tom.

0:23:230:23:26

-8 for Hamm.

-Another great answer, Tom. Well played.

0:23:260:23:29

Yeah, he's voiced by John Ratzenberger,

0:23:290:23:30

who is Cliffy from Cheers,

0:23:300:23:31

who is the only person to have been a voice

0:23:310:23:33

in every single Pixar movie to date.

0:23:330:23:35

Excellent. Thank you, Richard.

0:23:350:23:36

Naomi.

0:23:360:23:38

Erm, I think I'm going to risk a little bit

0:23:380:23:42

and try Pinky and Perky for the bottom one.

0:23:420:23:45

That's the one I would probably risk, I think.

0:23:450:23:47

Yes. Stands to reason, doesn't it?

0:23:470:23:49

Pinky and Perky. Let's see if it's right.

0:23:490:23:51

How many of our 100 people said that?

0:23:510:23:53

And it is. SHE EXHALES

0:23:550:23:58

Well, our only score at this stage is 8.

0:23:580:24:00

We'll be... Oh! Oh.

0:24:000:24:01

APPLAUSE

0:24:010:24:03

40.

0:24:030:24:04

Yeah, they released 16 albums,

0:24:060:24:08

Pinky and Perky.

0:24:080:24:10

The day their first album came out and sold, they must have...

0:24:100:24:14

The people who made it must have just gone,

0:24:140:24:16

-"Ha-ha-ha-ha!"

-Yeah.

0:24:160:24:18

"This should be pretty easy.

0:24:180:24:20

-"Just record some songs and speed 'em up."

-Yeah.

0:24:200:24:23

Thanks very much. Now, Martin, this board is all yours.

0:24:230:24:26

If you wanted to go through them all and fill in the blanks,

0:24:260:24:28

you'd be very welcome.

0:24:280:24:29

This is looking really bad.

0:24:290:24:31

Because the only ones I know are the really obvious ones.

0:24:310:24:34

Sorry about this. I'm going to have to go for Piglet. I'm sorry.

0:24:350:24:39

Winnie the Pooh's close friend was Piglet.

0:24:390:24:41

OK, Piglet says Martin.

0:24:410:24:43

Let's see how far down the column we get with Piglet.

0:24:430:24:46

It's right.

0:24:480:24:50

Oh, look at that!

0:24:500:24:51

-61.

-Ugh.

0:24:510:24:52

-Not bad.

-Sorry, mate. It's better than 100, though.

0:24:520:24:56

It's much better than 100.

0:24:560:24:57

You're not far ahead of your nearest rivals.

0:24:570:24:59

Yeah, it could have been a lot worse, that.

0:24:590:25:01

It's not a bad score at all. Funnily enough,

0:25:010:25:03

if you'd gone for the central character in The Muppet Show,

0:25:030:25:06

that would have been far worse, cos it's Miss Piggy,

0:25:060:25:08

which is the biggest score up there and would have scored 78.

0:25:080:25:11

The pig adopted by homer in The Simpsons Movie...

0:25:110:25:13

-Oh, I can't remember.

-There's a song all about him.

0:25:130:25:15

-Yes...

-Spider-Pig.

-Spider-Pig. Yeah, of course.

0:25:150:25:18

That would have scored you 29.

0:25:180:25:20

And the pig in Charlotte's Web is Wilbur.

0:25:200:25:22

Wilbur is that answer, for 6 points,

0:25:220:25:24

It's the best answer on the board, so well done if you said that.

0:25:240:25:26

Thanks. We're halfway through the round, so let's look at the scores.

0:25:260:25:30

8, the best score of the pass, once again, Tom and Jules.

0:25:300:25:33

Very well done. Then up to 40, where we find Naomi and Bill.

0:25:330:25:36

And then up to 61, but actually,

0:25:360:25:38

the gap between you and Naomi and Bill

0:25:380:25:39

is much closer than the gap between the others,

0:25:390:25:41

so, you know, you're within touching distance.

0:25:410:25:43

But, Chris, we need a low score from you

0:25:430:25:45

at the beginning of the next pass.

0:25:450:25:47

Good luck with that. We'll come back down the line.

0:25:470:25:49

Can the second players please step up to the podium.

0:25:490:25:52

OK. Let's put six more clues up on the board, and here they are.

0:25:540:25:57

I will read all of those again.

0:26:230:26:25

Chris.

0:26:470:26:48

Lots of fripperous pigs there.

0:26:480:26:51

I'm going to go for the more serious pig

0:26:510:26:54

in the form of George Orwell's.

0:26:540:26:57

I'm going to say Napoleon.

0:26:590:27:00

-Napoleon.

-The boar in animal farm.

0:27:000:27:02

Napoleon, says Chris. Let's see if that's right.

0:27:020:27:04

There's no red line for you, because you are the high-scorers.

0:27:040:27:07

Let's hope that's a nice low score for you, and keeps you in the game.

0:27:070:27:10

How many people said Napoleon?

0:27:100:27:12

It's right.

0:27:130:27:14

Well, 8 is our lowest score in the round so far,

0:27:150:27:19

and Napoleon takes you to 18.

0:27:190:27:20

You might have kept yourself in, there.

0:27:200:27:24

79 is your total.

0:27:240:27:25

Well played, Chris, and there's all sorts of people at home, now,

0:27:260:27:29

who did animal farm for GCSE going, "Finally, it's come to some use!"

0:27:290:27:33

Thanks very much, Richard.

0:27:350:27:36

Now, Bill, you have a target now of 38.

0:27:360:27:40

One of those is Babe...

0:27:410:27:42

..but I don't know which one it is!

0:27:440:27:46

I know some of them that it isn't, that's for sure.

0:27:470:27:51

Erm...

0:27:510:27:53

Is it the pig who was a sheepdog?

0:27:530:27:56

You're going to say the pig who thinks he's a sheepdog, Babe?

0:27:560:27:59

-Yeah.

-Here's your red line. If you get below that with Babe,

0:27:590:28:01

you are through to the next round. Is it right, though?

0:28:010:28:04

-It is right.

-Oh!

0:28:070:28:08

Oh, but 61 is its score,

0:28:100:28:12

taking your total up to 101.

0:28:120:28:14

Still in the game, at this stage.

0:28:160:28:18

It's based on The Sheep-Pig by Dick King-Smith.

0:28:190:28:22

Obviously, it makes the sheep do what it wants by asking politely,

0:28:220:28:25

-which is rather sweet.

-It's sweet.

0:28:250:28:27

Thank you very much, Richard.

0:28:270:28:29

Now, Jules...

0:28:290:28:31

Jules, you're on 8.

0:28:310:28:32

92 or less.

0:28:320:28:33

92 or less gets you through,

0:28:330:28:35

which takes a bit of pressure off.

0:28:350:28:37

But if you wanted,

0:28:370:28:38

you could go through that board

0:28:380:28:40

and do some thinking out loud

0:28:400:28:41

and fill in all our blanks.

0:28:410:28:43

Name of the fairy tale -

0:28:430:28:44

that's got to be Three Little Pigs.

0:28:440:28:46

Star of a 1995 film who embarks on a journey

0:28:460:28:48

to save his family from the slaughterhouse...

0:28:480:28:51

No idea.

0:28:510:28:52

Comical warthog...

0:28:520:28:54

No idea.

0:28:540:28:55

Animated pig...

0:28:550:28:57

Is that Peppa? Peppa the Pig?

0:28:570:28:59

That's probably quite obvious, though, isn't it?

0:28:590:29:01

But I think Three Little Pigs is more obvious,

0:29:010:29:03

so I'm going to go for the last one, and Peppa.

0:29:030:29:05

You're going to say Peppa

0:29:050:29:06

-for the last one?

-Yeah, yeah.

0:29:060:29:07

OK, here is your red line.

0:29:070:29:09

Get below that with Peppa,

0:29:110:29:12

and you are into the head-to-head.

0:29:120:29:15

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Peppa.

0:29:150:29:17

It's right, and you're through.

0:29:190:29:21

Very well done. HE EXHALES

0:29:210:29:24

49, it's good enough.

0:29:240:29:26

Takes your total up to 57.

0:29:260:29:28

Very well played.

0:29:300:29:31

Yeah, it's now shown in

0:29:310:29:32

170 countries, Peppa Pig.

0:29:320:29:34

Amazing. 105 of which are larger than the UK.

0:29:340:29:37

Yeah!

0:29:370:29:38

Let's fill in these, shall we?

0:29:380:29:40

The fairy tale, it was Three Little Pigs.

0:29:400:29:42

-It also would have seen you through, would have scored you 61.

-Really?!

0:29:420:29:45

Same as Babe, yeah.

0:29:450:29:47

Now, the other 1995 film,

0:29:470:29:49

a slightly less successful pig, it's called Gordy.

0:29:490:29:52

-Gordy was the pig there. 1 point.

-Oh, yes.

0:29:520:29:55

And the warthog is Pumbaa.

0:29:550:29:57

22 points.

0:29:570:29:59

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:29:590:30:00

So, at the end of our second round, I'm very sorry...

0:30:000:30:02

Oh, Bill! I was convinced you were carrying off a trophy today.

0:30:020:30:06

I'm sorry that you haven't.

0:30:060:30:07

-But...

-Your faith is touching.

0:30:070:30:10

-Well, yeah...

-Yeah.

0:30:100:30:11

You will just have to return, Bill, but it's been lovely having you,

0:30:110:30:14

-and Naomi, thank you so much for coming to play.

-Thank you.

0:30:140:30:16

-Brilliant, brilliant contestants.

-It's been a pleasure.

-I'm sorry.

0:30:160:30:19

But, for Chris and Martin,

0:30:220:30:23

Tom and Jules, it's now time for our head-to-head.

0:30:230:30:26

Congratulations, Tom and Jules, Chris and Martin,

0:30:300:30:32

you are now one step closer to the final,

0:30:320:30:34

and a chance to play for our jackpot,

0:30:340:30:36

which currently stands at £2,500.

0:30:360:30:39

CHEERING

0:30:390:30:41

So, to decide who goes on to play for that jackpot,

0:30:430:30:45

you now go head-to-head.

0:30:450:30:47

Basically, the deal is you can now play as teams.

0:30:470:30:49

You can chat, you can confer, before you give your answers.

0:30:490:30:52

The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.

0:30:520:30:55

Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.

0:30:550:30:57

Here is your first question.

0:31:040:31:06

Our first question concerns...

0:31:060:31:08

LAUGHTER

0:31:100:31:12

Breeds Of Sheep - an old Pointless favourite.

0:31:120:31:15

Absolutely. We're going to show you five pictures now

0:31:150:31:17

of different sheep, and we need you to name the sheep,

0:31:170:31:19

and we just need their first names. We don't need surnames.

0:31:190:31:22

-It was a long time ago.

-We need the breed, please.

0:31:220:31:25

We're going to give you alternate letters of the breeds as well.

0:31:250:31:28

There we are. That's not so bad.

0:31:280:31:29

OK, so here are our five breeds of sheep, and we have got...

0:31:290:31:33

Aw... CHUCKLING

0:31:440:31:47

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

0:31:510:31:53

Aw. Aw, look.

0:31:530:31:55

There we are - five breeds of sheep.

0:31:580:32:00

Now, Tom and Jules, you've been our low-scorers so far,

0:32:000:32:03

so you will go first.

0:32:030:32:04

Feel free to confer.

0:32:040:32:06

We are going to go for E, please.

0:32:060:32:09

Herdwick.

0:32:090:32:10

Herdwick, say Tom and Jules. Herdwick.

0:32:100:32:13

Now then, Chris and Martin,

0:32:130:32:15

do you want to talk us through the other sheep?

0:32:150:32:18

Well, A is Suffolk, I would say.

0:32:180:32:21

We were going to go for E.

0:32:210:32:22

Well, did they get it right? They said Herdwick.

0:32:220:32:25

Is it Hardwick?

0:32:250:32:26

Hardwick sounds...harder.

0:32:260:32:29

LAUGHTER

0:32:290:32:31

Have you ever heard of

0:32:320:32:33

a Herdwick sheep?

0:32:330:32:34

No, but Hardwick sounds

0:32:340:32:36

a bit more north...

0:32:360:32:37

Have you heard of a Hardwick sheep?

0:32:370:32:39

-No.

-No.

0:32:390:32:40

LAUGHTER

0:32:400:32:42

I mean, they could... If they get it wrong,

0:32:420:32:45

then we win anyway with Hebridean, which, as we know, is right.

0:32:450:32:48

That's true. Brilliant. Yeah, no, OK. He's right, yeah.

0:32:480:32:50

-So, strategically, let's go D, Hebridean.

-Good strategy. Nice.

0:32:500:32:54

OK, you're going to go Hebridean.

0:32:540:32:56

So, we have Herdwick and we have Hebridean.

0:32:560:32:58

Tom and Jules said Herdwick for E.

0:32:580:33:00

Let's see if that's right,

0:33:000:33:01

and let's see how many people said Herdwick.

0:33:010:33:04

Look at that.

0:33:050:33:07

Well done, Countryfile.

0:33:070:33:08

Oh!

0:33:120:33:13

10 for Herdwick.

0:33:180:33:20

Now, Chris and Martin, meanwhile, have gone for Hebridean for D.

0:33:200:33:24

-Oh, that's a cross sheep, isn't it? Look at that!

-Isn't it just?

0:33:240:33:27

-Look at that!

-Let's see how many of our 100 people said Hebridean.

0:33:270:33:30

It's right.

0:33:330:33:34

Oh, 20. 20.

0:33:380:33:40

Well done, Countryfilers.

0:33:430:33:44

Tom and Jules, after one question you are up 1-0.

0:33:440:33:48

Yeah, very well played.

0:33:480:33:49

-A is Suffolk.

-Yeah.

0:33:490:33:51

Suffolk would have scored you

0:33:510:33:52

76 points.

0:33:520:33:54

-B.

-B, Cheviot.

0:33:560:33:57

Yeah, from the Cheviot Hills.

0:33:570:33:59

That would have scored you

0:33:590:34:00

5 points. I mean, they...

0:34:000:34:01

You would not mess with

0:34:010:34:02

those three, would you?

0:34:020:34:04

I wouldn't mess with the lambs!

0:34:040:34:06

C...

0:34:060:34:07

Ryeland.

0:34:070:34:09

Oh, he was great...

0:34:090:34:10

-On X Factor, yeah.

-Wasn't he? Yes.

0:34:100:34:11

LAUGHTER

0:34:110:34:13

And that was a pointless answer,

0:34:130:34:15

-so very well done if you said that.

-Look at that.

0:34:150:34:17

Thank you very much indeed. Well, here comes your second question.

0:34:170:34:21

Now, Chris and Martin, you get to answer first,

0:34:210:34:22

-but you have to win this to stay in the game, so best of luck.

-OK.

0:34:220:34:25

Our second question this evening is all about...

0:34:250:34:28

Annoying Pop Songs, Richard.

0:34:310:34:33

We're going to play you five clips now of songs,

0:34:330:34:35

all of which appeared on a BBC Three list

0:34:350:34:37

of the most annoying pop songs of all time.

0:34:370:34:39

Can you identify the artist behind any of these songs, please?

0:34:390:34:42

OK. So, let's listen to our five annoying pop songs -

0:34:420:34:45

and here they are...

0:34:450:34:47

We have got A.

0:34:470:34:48

# Red, red wine

0:34:480:34:53

# Goes to my head

0:34:530:34:57

# Makes me forget that I

0:34:590:35:04

# Still need her so... #

0:35:040:35:10

Here's B.

0:35:100:35:11

# Dancin' in the moonlight

0:35:110:35:14

# Everybody's feeling warm and bright

0:35:140:35:18

# It's such a fine and natural sight

0:35:180:35:21

# Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight... #

0:35:210:35:28

Here is C.

0:35:310:35:32

# You're beautiful

0:35:320:35:35

# You're beautiful, it's true

0:35:350:35:39

# I saw your face

0:35:390:35:43

# In a crowded place

0:35:430:35:46

# And I don't know what to do... #

0:35:470:35:51

Here's D.

0:35:530:35:54

INCOMPREHENSIBLE BABBLING

0:35:540:35:58

# Wha-wha-what's going on?

0:35:580:36:01

# Bing bing

0:36:070:36:09

# This is the Crazy Frog... #

0:36:130:36:15

And here's E.

0:36:150:36:17

# And I take a deep breath and I get real high

0:36:170:36:20

# And I scream from the top of my lungs

0:36:200:36:23

# What's going on?

0:36:230:36:25

# And I say

0:36:270:36:29

# Hey, yeah, yeah

0:36:290:36:32

# Hey, yeah, yeah

0:36:320:36:35

# I said, hey

0:36:350:36:37

# What's going on? #

0:36:370:36:40

OK, there we are.

0:36:400:36:42

Chris and Martin.

0:36:420:36:43

Well, I... I've got an inkling that I know D, which is the most...

0:36:450:36:48

Presumably the most obscure.

0:36:480:36:50

I actually rather liked that one,

0:36:500:36:51

whilst I disliked all of the others intensely.

0:36:510:36:54

-LAUGHTER

-Because once it gets into it,

0:36:540:36:56

there's a real techno beat - it's good for driving.

0:36:560:36:58

But it's a real gamble, because we only heard a snatch of it,

0:36:580:37:01

and it never really got into its full swing,

0:37:010:37:03

so I think maybe we shouldn't gamble on it.

0:37:030:37:05

-Go for C, then?

-Mm-hmm, yeah.

0:37:050:37:08

We think that's James Blunt.

0:37:080:37:10

James Blunt, say Chris and Martin.

0:37:100:37:13

James Blunt.

0:37:130:37:15

Now then, Tom and Jules.

0:37:150:37:17

-Shall I go for it?

-Yeah.

0:37:170:37:18

I think D is Crazy Frog.

0:37:180:37:21

Crazy Frog, say Tom and Jules,

0:37:210:37:23

so we have James Blunt versus Crazy Frog.

0:37:230:37:27

Chris and Martin, you have gone for James Blunt.

0:37:270:37:29

Let's see if that's right.

0:37:290:37:30

Let's see how many of our 100 people said James Blunt, for C.

0:37:300:37:34

It's right.

0:37:360:37:37

49 for James Blunt!

0:37:400:37:42

Now, Tom and Jules, meanwhile, have gone for Crazy Frog, for D.

0:37:460:37:49

Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Crazy Frog.

0:37:490:37:53

It is Crazy Frog.

0:37:560:37:57

Is it going to beat 49?

0:37:570:37:58

Yes, it is - look at that! Very well done.

0:37:580:38:01

-By quite a margin, at 30.

-Well done, mate. Well done.

0:38:010:38:03

Which means, Tom and Jules,

0:38:030:38:06

after only two questions, you are straight through to the final, 2-0.

0:38:060:38:09

-Very well done.

-Yeah, I also quite like that Crazy Frog song,

0:38:090:38:12

-it's genuinely quite good.

-Yeah.

0:38:120:38:14

Axel F. It was number two on the list -

0:38:140:38:16

the second most annoying pop song of all time, that was.

0:38:160:38:18

And Celine Dion, My Heart Will Go On,

0:38:180:38:21

was the most annoying, apparently.

0:38:210:38:23

There you go. It wasn't my list.

0:38:230:38:25

Now, A was...

0:38:250:38:27

Let's have a listen.

0:38:270:38:28

# Red, red wine... #

0:38:280:38:30

Red Red Wine by UB40.

0:38:300:38:32

I think everyone knew that.

0:38:320:38:33

Would have scored 33 points.

0:38:330:38:34

I'm also going to say not an annoying song.

0:38:340:38:37

Not annoying.

0:38:370:38:38

B...

0:38:380:38:40

# Dancin' in the moonlight... #

0:38:400:38:41

Dancing In The Moonlight by Toploader, you're quite right,

0:38:410:38:44

would have been the best answer on the board as well -

0:38:440:38:46

10 points for that. Again, that's not an annoying song.

0:38:460:38:48

It's not an annoying song.

0:38:480:38:49

-It became annoying because it was so ubiquitous.

-That was the trouble.

0:38:490:38:52

-It literally didn't stop for about a year.

-No fault of theirs.

0:38:520:38:55

-Oh, no, absolutely.

-No.

-It's a lovely song.

0:38:550:38:57

And the final one, E.

0:38:570:38:59

Oh, I know this one.

0:38:590:39:00

# Take a deep breath and I get real high... #

0:39:000:39:02

-Which is...

-4 Non Blondes.

0:39:020:39:04

4 Non Blondes, yeah, and that would have scored you 11 points.

0:39:040:39:07

Oh, God, they're not lying.

0:39:070:39:08

-Yeah, they were not lying.

-LAUGHTER

0:39:080:39:11

Thank you very much, Richard.

0:39:110:39:13

So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round -

0:39:130:39:15

I'm so sorry, Chris and Martin.

0:39:150:39:17

Nothing wrong with either of your answers, there.

0:39:170:39:19

You were just... You were just pipped by Tom and Jules -

0:39:190:39:22

they knew Crazy Frog. LAUGHTER

0:39:220:39:24

This is where we have to say goodbye.

0:39:240:39:25

Chris and Martin, it's been great having you on.

0:39:250:39:27

Thank you for coming to play.

0:39:270:39:28

-Come and play again, soon. Chris and Martin.

-Thank you.

0:39:280:39:31

APPLAUSE DROWNS OUT SPEECH

0:39:310:39:33

But, for Tom and Jules, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:39:330:39:36

Congratulations, Tom and Jules,

0:39:400:39:42

you have fought off all of the competition

0:39:420:39:44

and you have won our coveted Pointless trophies.

0:39:440:39:47

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot

0:39:530:39:55

for your nominated charities.

0:39:550:39:56

And at the end of today's show,

0:39:560:39:57

the jackpot is standing at £2,500.

0:39:570:40:00

So, there we are.

0:40:000:40:01

CHEERING

0:40:010:40:03

Well, what, I mean, a barnstorming performance that has been.

0:40:050:40:08

Lowest scorers in the first round, with 2.

0:40:080:40:12

Lowest scorers in the second round, I can't remember what with,

0:40:120:40:14

but Peppa Pig was the one that sticks in my mind.

0:40:140:40:17

But you made it into the head-to-head -

0:40:170:40:18

2-0 in the head-to-head.

0:40:180:40:20

Absolutely no arguing with that,

0:40:200:40:21

and some very good sheep knowledge as well, on top of that. LAUGHTER

0:40:210:40:25

Anything you would particularly like to see come up in this last round?

0:40:250:40:29

History, for me, I think, probably. Yeah.

0:40:290:40:31

I think possibly movies,

0:40:310:40:33

although actually identifying individual characters

0:40:330:40:35

and Oscar dates is always tricky,

0:40:350:40:37

but I watch a few films, so maybe that one.

0:40:370:40:39

Very, very best of luck.

0:40:390:40:40

-They're very specific, these things in the last round.

-Yeah.

0:40:400:40:43

Four of them on the board.

0:40:430:40:44

Let's hope there's something you like the look of up there.

0:40:440:40:46

Today's selection reads like this...

0:40:460:40:49

For me, it has to be straight for the top.

0:40:570:40:59

Yeah. I'm not going to argue with that, actually.

0:40:590:41:02

I'm very happy to join Tom in his deliberations on Bond films.

0:41:020:41:07

OK, Bond films it is.

0:41:070:41:09

OK, you've played brilliantly so far during the show, gents.

0:41:090:41:11

Hopefully we can see a jackpot here.

0:41:110:41:13

We're looking for the cast of any of the following films, please.

0:41:130:41:16

So, anyone credited with appearing in the 1962 Bond film Dr No,

0:41:160:41:21

the 1995 Bond film Goldeneye,

0:41:210:41:24

or the 2015 Bond film Spectre, please.

0:41:240:41:26

So, anyone, according to IMDB,

0:41:260:41:28

credited with appearing in any of those three films.

0:41:280:41:31

Very, very best of luck.

0:41:310:41:33

Thank you very much indeed.

0:41:330:41:35

OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers,

0:41:350:41:37

and all you need to win that jackpot

0:41:370:41:39

is for just one of your answers to be pointless.

0:41:390:41:41

Are you ready?

0:41:410:41:43

No.

0:41:430:41:45

Go on.

0:41:450:41:46

Let's put 60 seconds

0:41:460:41:48

up on the clock. There they are.

0:41:480:41:49

Your time starts now.

0:41:490:41:51

For the cast of Dr No,

0:41:510:41:52

I'm struggling apart from

0:41:520:41:54

the main ones, that's the problem.

0:41:540:41:56

Ursula Andress was in Dr No.

0:41:560:41:58

-Yeah.

-Who played...

0:41:580:41:59

Who was the guy who played Dr No?

0:41:590:42:01

-That's what I can't remember.

-Erm...

0:42:010:42:03

Dr Yes.

0:42:030:42:04

Goldeneye, I remember that Robbie Coltrane was in Goldeneye,

0:42:050:42:08

-and that might be quite a...

-That's a nice thought.

0:42:080:42:10

But also that actress who was...

0:42:100:42:12

-Grace Jones?

-No, no, who was in Grosse Pointe Blank.

0:42:120:42:15

-Do you know her name?

-No.

-She was in it.

0:42:160:42:18

As a singer, quite a small part.

0:42:180:42:20

Oh, was it... Goldie in it?

0:42:200:42:22

No, but I'll definitely go for Robbie Coltrane.

0:42:220:42:25

-Cast of Spectre, even though I've seen it very recently...

-Yes.

0:42:250:42:28

-Oh, who's the guy, who's the guy? Who's the kind of...

-Christoph...

0:42:290:42:32

There's Christoph Waltz.

0:42:320:42:34

-Ralph Fiennes.

-Yeah.

0:42:340:42:35

Christoph Waltz.

0:42:350:42:36

Andrew... That was the other M.

0:42:360:42:39

Who was the Q guy? The...

0:42:390:42:40

-The genius.

-Ben Whishaw.

0:42:400:42:42

OK. Whishaw...

0:42:430:42:44

Coltrane and...

0:42:450:42:47

-Christoph Waltz would be...

-What's her name?

0:42:480:42:51

OK, that is your time up, I'm afraid.

0:42:510:42:53

-Monica Bellucci.

-I now need your three...answers!

0:42:530:42:56

What about that?! What are your three answers going to be?

0:42:560:42:59

For Spectre, Monica Bellucci.

0:42:590:43:01

Monica Bellucci.

0:43:010:43:02

For Goldeneye, Robbie Coltrane.

0:43:030:43:05

-Robbie Coltrane.

-Shall we go for...

0:43:050:43:08

-Ben...

-Ben Whishaw.

0:43:080:43:09

And Ben Whishaw for Spectre.

0:43:090:43:10

Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:43:100:43:14

-I think Robbie Coltrane.

-Robbie Coltrane will put last.

0:43:140:43:17

Least likely to be pointless?

0:43:170:43:18

I'm not expecting a zero out of any of these, actually.

0:43:180:43:21

Erm... Probably Ben Whishaw.

0:43:210:43:23

Ben Whishaw we'll put first, then Monica Bellucci in the middle.

0:43:230:43:25

And here they are.

0:43:250:43:26

We've got Ben Whishaw, we've got Monica Bellucci,

0:43:260:43:30

and we have got Robbie Coltrane.

0:43:300:43:32

Well, very, very best of luck.

0:43:320:43:34

Three excellent answers there.

0:43:340:43:36

Now, to win the jackpot, obviously, one of these has to be pointless.

0:43:360:43:39

If you were to win the jackpot - any of these could do it for you -

0:43:390:43:42

it would be £2,500 for your charities.

0:43:420:43:45

Who are you playing for? Tom.

0:43:450:43:47

I'm playing for the Whitley Fund For Nature,

0:43:470:43:49

which is an organisation that sponsors

0:43:490:43:52

conservation projects around the world.

0:43:520:43:54

Always very much kind of locally led,

0:43:540:43:56

but some really, really good work.

0:43:560:43:58

I've met some of those involved - great people, great project.

0:43:580:44:01

Excellent. Jules, how about you?

0:44:010:44:02

Well, last year I became president

0:44:020:44:04

of the Campaign For The Protection Of Rural Wales, CPRW.

0:44:040:44:08

It's quite an old charity, been going since 1928,

0:44:080:44:10

representing the landscapes of Wales

0:44:100:44:12

and, perhaps more importantly, the communities that live within it,

0:44:120:44:15

so that's who I'm doing it for.

0:44:150:44:17

Fantastic. Two brilliant charities there.

0:44:170:44:19

APPLAUSE

0:44:190:44:21

Fingers crossed one of these brilliant answers

0:44:210:44:23

will win that jackpot for you to share between those charities.

0:44:230:44:26

Now, your first answer was Ben Whishaw.

0:44:260:44:29

In this case, we were looking for cast members

0:44:290:44:31

from the Bond film Spectre.

0:44:310:44:33

If this is pointless, it will win you £2,500 for your charities.

0:44:330:44:38

How many of our 100 people said Ben Whishaw?

0:44:380:44:41

Nobody, by the looks of it!

0:44:420:44:44

Well, it is right. Phew.

0:44:450:44:47

It now just has to go all the way down to zero,

0:44:480:44:50

and then will win that jackpot for your charities.

0:44:500:44:52

Down Ben Whishaw goes, through the teens!

0:44:520:44:54

Into single figures, still going down.

0:44:540:44:56

Down it goes to 4. 4 for Ben Whishaw.

0:44:560:44:58

APPLAUSE

0:44:580:45:00

That's a good score.

0:45:020:45:03

In any other round of Pointless, you'd be thrilled with four.

0:45:040:45:07

Annoyingly, in this last round, we only take pointless answers.

0:45:070:45:11

So we move onto your next answer, which is Monica Bellucci.

0:45:110:45:14

Again, in this case, we were looking for cast members

0:45:140:45:17

from the film Spectre.

0:45:170:45:18

Monica Bellucci - if this is right, and if it is pointless,

0:45:180:45:20

it will win you £2,500 for your charities.

0:45:200:45:23

How many people said Monica Bellucci?

0:45:230:45:25

It's right.

0:45:270:45:28

Now, Ben Whishaw, your first answer,

0:45:280:45:30

a regular character in Bond, took us all the way down to four.

0:45:300:45:33

Monica Bellucci, at the last minute you remembered her -

0:45:330:45:36

down we go, through the teens...

0:45:360:45:38

Single figures, down it goes...

0:45:380:45:40

We're down to 2.

0:45:400:45:41

APPLAUSE

0:45:410:45:43

In sequence - sequentially,

0:45:460:45:48

4, 2...

0:45:480:45:50

We know what the next number should be in that sequence, don't we?

0:45:500:45:53

Yeah, 1

0:45:530:45:54

LAUGHTER

0:45:540:45:56

Oh, yes, I see what you mean.

0:45:560:45:58

Yes.

0:45:580:45:59

Yes.

0:45:590:46:00

Yes...

0:46:000:46:02

Well, fingers crossed.

0:46:020:46:03

LAUGHTER

0:46:030:46:05

Your last answer is Robbie Coltrane.

0:46:050:46:07

In this case, we were looking for cast members

0:46:070:46:09

from the James Bond film Goldeneye.

0:46:090:46:11

Has to be right, which we're pretty sure it will be.

0:46:110:46:13

If it is pointless, you will win £2,500 for your charities.

0:46:130:46:16

Very, very best of luck. How many people said Robbie Coltrane?

0:46:160:46:19

OK, there we are. It's right.

0:46:230:46:25

Ben Whishaw took us down to 4.

0:46:250:46:27

Monica Bellucci took us down to 2.

0:46:270:46:29

Robbie Coltrane taking us through the teens, into single figures,

0:46:290:46:32

-Down it goes, still going...

-Down, down, down!

0:46:320:46:34

CHEERING

0:46:340:46:37

-Absolutely superb.

-Thank you very much.

0:46:380:46:40

-Very, very well done.

-Unbelievable!

0:46:400:46:43

-Thanks, mate. Superb!

-Fantastic.

0:46:450:46:48

Well, that, I have to say, is a fitting end to the show.

0:46:480:46:51

You've been astonishingly good the whole way through,

0:46:510:46:53

and there you are, rounding it all off - and very sweetly as well.

0:46:530:46:56

You made it your last answer - just perfect!

0:46:560:46:58

Robbie Coltrane was a pointless answer,

0:46:580:47:00

which means you win that jackpot of £2,500 for your charities.

0:47:000:47:03

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

-Very, very well done indeed.

0:47:030:47:05

APPLAUSE

0:47:050:47:07

Unbelievable.

0:47:110:47:12

Well, that's a lovely end to a lovely show, gents -

0:47:120:47:14

very well played. Thank you so much.

0:47:140:47:16

The actress you were talking about

0:47:160:47:17

-and trying to bring to mind was Minnie Driver.

-Minnie Driver!

0:47:170:47:20

-Who was also a pointless answer.

-Ah...

0:47:200:47:22

That would have been a lovely score.

0:47:220:47:24

Now, let's take a look at some of these.

0:47:240:47:26

Cast of Dr No, we'll start with that.

0:47:260:47:27

Anthony Dawson was a pointless answer.

0:47:290:47:31

Jack Lord, who of course went on to Hawaii Five-O, was pointless.

0:47:310:47:34

Lois Maxwell, who plays Miss Moneypenny in many films,

0:47:340:47:36

was a pointless answer.

0:47:360:47:37

Peter Burton, who played the Quartermaster,

0:47:370:47:39

the character who went on to be Q.

0:47:390:47:41

Dr No was played by Joseph Wiseman.

0:47:410:47:42

Would have scored you one point.

0:47:420:47:44

In fact, only four actors would have scored you points -

0:47:440:47:46

Sean Connery, Ursula Andress, Bernard Lee and Joseph Wiseman.

0:47:460:47:49

Everyone else pointless.

0:47:490:47:51

Now, the cast of Goldeneye.

0:47:510:47:54

Again, some famous names here. Joe Don Baker, the American actor.

0:47:540:47:57

Minnie Driver. Samantha Bond, a pointless answer -

0:47:570:47:59

another Moneypenny. And Robbie Coltrane.

0:47:590:48:01

Now, Spectre was the hardest one to get pointless answers on, actually.

0:48:010:48:05

None of the big actors would have been pointless.

0:48:050:48:07

Brigitte Millar, Ian Bonar, Jesper Christensen and Marc Zinga -

0:48:070:48:11

all of those pointless answers.

0:48:110:48:12

Very well done if you got any of those at home,

0:48:120:48:14

and congratulations in the studio. What a performance.

0:48:140:48:17

APPLAUSE

0:48:170:48:19

Well, thanks once again to our winning players, Tom and Jules,

0:48:200:48:23

who go away with today's jackpot of £2,500 for their charities.

0:48:230:48:26

-Very well done, gents.

-Thank you.

0:48:260:48:28

Thank you very much.

0:48:280:48:30

Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.

0:48:300:48:33

-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...

-Goodbye.

0:48:330:48:35

..and it's goodbye from me.

0:48:350:48:37

Goodbye.
