0:00:20 > 0:00:23APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:25 > 0:00:28and a very warm welcome to this special journalistic edition
0:00:28 > 0:00:29of Pointless Celebrities,
0:00:29 > 0:00:31the show where obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:31 > 0:00:33and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Let's meet today's Pointless Celebrities.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41And couple number one.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45I'm Toby Young. I'm an associate editor of The Spectator.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47I'm Melissa Kite, I'm a columnist on The Spectator.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Couple number two.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54I'm Jane Moore, I write a column for The Sun
0:00:54 > 0:00:56and I'm a regular on Loose Women.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58I'm Kevin O'Sullivan, I'm a television critic
0:00:58 > 0:01:01and I'm a regular on The Wright Stuff.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Couple number three.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09I'm Frank Gardner, BBC security correspondent,
0:01:09 > 0:01:11and I've had my first thriller published this year.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13I'm Lizo Mzimba,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15I'm the entertainment correspondent for BBC News.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20And finally, couple number four.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21Hello, I'm Tony Parsons,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24I write a column for GQ and the Sun On Sunday
0:01:24 > 0:01:27and I write the Max Wolff thrillers.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29I'm Miranda Sawyer and I'm a freelance journalist,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32mostly working for the Observer.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Thank you very much, all of you. A very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Lovely to have you here. We'll chat to you more throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46He is conversant in culture, fluent in fun
0:01:46 > 0:01:47and has bedroom Spanish.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Hiya.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Hello, everybody. Good evening.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- Good evening to you. - Good evening, sir.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57- How are you?- I'm very well.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Now, we've got quite a clever bunch on this evening's show, haven't we?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Not that they're not always clever,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04but occasionally, you spot some weak links -
0:02:04 > 0:02:06I don't spot any weak links here, unfortunately.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10That said, two people have been on before - neither of them really covered themselves in glory.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Lizo has been on before, got to Round Two. Tony, Round One, got knocked out last time.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Well, they actually kept the cab by the dressing room door for me
0:02:17 > 0:02:19last time I was here, that's how bad it was!
0:02:19 > 0:02:21But they've both been bright enough -
0:02:21 > 0:02:23look at the partners they've brought along.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Frank Gardner, that's a smart move. Miranda Sawyer as well -
0:02:25 > 0:02:29two of the brightest people you could bring. I should also note, on podium two,
0:02:29 > 0:02:31we have a fellow long-suffering Fulham fan
0:02:31 > 0:02:32in Kevin O'Sullivan as well.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35So...(come on, Kev!)
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Thank you very much, Richard.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39As usual, all of today's questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Our contestants are looking for those all-important Pointless answers.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45These are answers that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Find one of those, and we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Now, as today's show is a celebrity special,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56We start off with a jackpot of £2,500.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58There we are.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05APPLAUSE
0:03:09 > 0:03:11OK, just to be absolutely plain,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:03:14 > 0:03:18will be eliminated, so make sure your scores are low.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Our first category this evening is...
0:03:24 > 0:03:26It's a Words round.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first,
0:03:28 > 0:03:30who's going to go second?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38OK, let's find out what the question is - here it comes.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:03:41 > 0:03:46as many words ending in ORD as they could.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Words ending in ORD. Richard.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50We're simply looking for any word which has its own entry
0:03:50 > 0:03:53in the British and World English section of oxforddictionaries.com
0:03:53 > 0:03:57that ends ORD, please. As always, no proper nouns, no hyphenated words,
0:03:57 > 0:03:58anything like that.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Just any word ending ORD. Very best of luck.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- OK.- And as always, I'm going to predict the word
0:04:03 > 0:04:05that you're going to say.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07OK, go on, do it.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Toby, welcome. Welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14There are very few areas in the entire realm of writing,
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I think, that you haven't yet done something in.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18I mean, you're a journalist, obviously.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19You were on Vanity Fair.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21You have written so many different...
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Drama, you've written a screenplay.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Anything else you would like to do, Toby?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Anything you feel you haven't yet covered?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Um...I've written a screenplay,
0:04:30 > 0:04:32but never one that's been turned into a film.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Did you not write the screenplay for How To Lose Friends And Alienate People?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- No, I was the co-producer. - That was it?
0:04:38 > 0:04:39Somebody adapted your play?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Somebody adapted the book.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I see. That's right, because there was a stage play, wasn't there?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46There was a stage play in which I played myself
0:04:46 > 0:04:47and I was played by Simon Pegg in the film.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51When the director saw me and Simon for the first time,
0:04:51 > 0:04:53he said, "If you're going to play this guy, Simon,
0:04:53 > 0:04:54"you'll either have to gain 20lb
0:04:54 > 0:04:56"or I'll have to put you in a fat suit."
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I was a bit more out of shape then.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00I thought it was joking, I thought it was just banter.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02On the first day of principal photography,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Simon had gained 20lb, so that wasn't very flattering!
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Wow.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Toby...
0:05:08 > 0:05:11A word ending ORD that the fewest people -
0:05:11 > 0:05:13or ideally no people - have chosen.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- I've got one!- Have you?
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Sorry, it just landed on me.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- There we go.- Oh! So happy.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21We can chat more if you like, Toby, now I've...
0:05:21 > 0:05:22LAUGHTER
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Fjord.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Oh, that is good.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- That's a good one.- You like that? - That is good. Yes.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Fjord, says Toby.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Let's see if that's right.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Let's see how many of our 100 people went for fjord.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Down it goes...still going...
0:05:44 > 0:05:45Oh, 19.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47APPLAUSE
0:05:47 > 0:05:4919, for fjord.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Of course, a long narrow inlet on the coast in Norway.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56There we are. Jane, welcome to Pointless.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Thank you.- How long have you done your opinion column at The Sun?
0:06:00 > 0:06:01About 22 years.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03That's incredible.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Yes.- What a thing.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07When you first started, did you find opinions,
0:06:07 > 0:06:09strong opinions, came to you naturally?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Or have your opinions hardened over time?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13No, I've always been quite opinionated.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I was very opinionated at school.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17And it has sort of carried on through my life.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21And then I worked in a, sort of, a senior role at newspapers,
0:06:21 > 0:06:23where you go into conference every morning,
0:06:23 > 0:06:25doing a lot of this, and the editor said,
0:06:25 > 0:06:27"Just to shut her up, I'm going to give her a column!"
0:06:27 > 0:06:29And here you are, 22 years later.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34Now, Jane, what word ending in ORD would you like to go for?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- I'm going to go for discord. - Discord.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Let's see how many of our 100 people said discord.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46It's right. Well, 19 is our only score so far, for fjord.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Discord...
0:06:47 > 0:06:4922.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Very nice grouping, there.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52A promising start to the round.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Yeah, it's used in air safety demonstrations -
0:06:56 > 0:06:58what happens when the oxygen runs out...
0:06:58 > 0:06:59"Pull dis cord..."
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Thank you very much indeed, Richard!
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Now, then, Lizo, thank you for coming back.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08You are the second-longest-serving incumbent on Newsround.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- After the great John Craven. - After the great John Craven.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- How long did you do? - Ten years.- Oh!
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- Do you still hear that music at the same time every afternoon?- I do.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- Fantastic.- And now, entertainment correspondent?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- Yeah.- Now that's got to be quite all right,
0:07:21 > 0:07:24cos for us, entertainment is, well, entertaining.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26For you, it's very hard work.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28But it's still fun. You know, I think I've had
0:07:28 > 0:07:30the best two jobs in broadcasting.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Newsround, getting to meet amazing kids all over the world,
0:07:33 > 0:07:35and now, entertainment correspondent,
0:07:35 > 0:07:38I get to interview celebrities and go to the Oscars.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40It doesn't get much better than that, does it?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Fabulous. Lizo, what would you like to go for?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45I'm going to go for broadsword.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Broadsword. Let's see how many of our 100 people said broadsword.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Well, 22 is our high score, 19 our low.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56That's how good the grouping is so far.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Broadsword whizzes past!
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Down to 2!
0:07:59 > 0:08:00APPLAUSE
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Very well done indeed, Lizo.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Looking very strong.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07That's beautiful. That's a journalist's special.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10That's a terrific answer. Well played. A very flat...
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Well, it's a broad sword, essentially!
0:08:12 > 0:08:13- It is, isn't it?- Aptly named.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15I was trying to explain what it was
0:08:15 > 0:08:17and I thought, "No, that's essentially what it is."
0:08:17 > 0:08:19It is what it is, yeah. Thank you very much indeed.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- Tony, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Let's just talk about Man And Boy, first,
0:08:24 > 0:08:26which sold colossal numbers all around the world.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28What are the sales figures on that?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31I think it's about five to six million, so far.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Really?- Yeah.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Five or six million books - I don't know what that even looks like.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37That looks like...
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Somebody comes up to you in the street and says,
0:08:40 > 0:08:42"I love you, you're Nick Hornby",
0:08:42 > 0:08:44it happens all the time. Happens all the time.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Listen, five or six...
0:08:45 > 0:08:49"What's it like, Hugh Grant playing you in a film?" That's what they usually say.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Tony, what would you like to go for?
0:08:51 > 0:08:52I'm going to go for overlord.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Overlord.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Very good. Normandy landing name, there.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said overlord.
0:09:09 > 0:09:106, for overlord.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11APPLAUSE
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Very well done indeed, Tony.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Well played, Tony - great answering all round, here.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Yeah, a ruler, an overlord.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Or someone who was awed by an oval.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27So, we're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:27 > 0:09:282 is the best score of the pass.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Lizo, very well done indeed, Lizo and Frank, at this stage,
0:09:31 > 0:09:33looking like a strong bet for the next round.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Then up to 6, where we find Tony and Miranda.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Then 19, Toby and Melissa.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39And then 22, Jane and Kevin.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43So, Kevin, the onus is on you to find a nice low-scoring word
0:09:43 > 0:09:45ending ORD - good luck with that.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48We'll come back down the line. Will the second players step up to the podium?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Now, then, Miranda, welcome to Pointless.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Lovely to have you here. I've got to ask you this -
0:09:56 > 0:09:59you appear, to me, to be one of these, sort of, illuminati.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- One of these wonderful... - You're quite right, I am.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- You are, though.- Yeah.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06This is what I mean. You were on the Turner Prize jury.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10You were on the jury that awarded City of Culture status to Liverpool.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- I was, yes.- How many other juries are you on, currently, Miranda?
0:10:13 > 0:10:14Absolutely none.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16It's quite hard work and you feel terrible
0:10:16 > 0:10:19for all the people you don't give it to.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21They're quite scary things, aren't they, juries?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24By and large. You, sort of, become a single organism.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Yeah, and you all disagree, so...it's really difficult.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Very hard, indeed.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Now, Miranda, words ending ORD.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33You are on 6 points. Our high-scorers at the moment, Kevin and Jane on 22.
0:10:33 > 0:10:3515 or less.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38I'm going to say chord, but as in a musical chord.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Ah! Here is your red line, it's quite low.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Let's see if you can get below that with chord, with an h.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47It's right.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- 25.- All right-ish.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I think you're going to be all right.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58That takes your total up to 31.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Relieves a little bit of pressure from Kevin and Jane,
0:11:00 > 0:11:02but not that much.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Well played, Miranda, it's going to be exciting, isn't it?
0:11:04 > 0:11:08This second pass. You could probably define chord better than I, with your musical training?
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Yes, I suppose it's more than two notes played simultaneously.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15And ideally being, yes, being a chord,
0:11:15 > 0:11:17it should be assonant,
0:11:17 > 0:11:19it should be pleasing to the ear.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Yet still, they don't let you write dictionaries - extraordinary.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Yeah, I know, one of these days, eh?
0:11:26 > 0:11:27- Yeah.- Oh...
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Frank, a very, very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:11:31 > 0:11:32great to have you here.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35How long have you been security correspondent for the BBC?
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- God, 12 years.- Wow.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- Then, you've written two books... - I have.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42..about your experience in the Middle East.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44One of them was about the Middle East
0:11:44 > 0:11:47and the other was just a fun adventure, travel, sort of,
0:11:47 > 0:11:50accounts of going to places like Djibouti and Sumatra and Socotra,
0:11:50 > 0:11:53which hardly anybody read, actually, but I had fun writing it.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55But let's talk about Crisis.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58For the first time, you have written... It's a thriller.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00It is a thriller. It's a huge jump, I have to say.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03I mean, you will all know this.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- Going from nonfiction to fiction, it's a massive learning curve.- Yes.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Rooted, so completely, in your...
0:12:09 > 0:12:12In something you know absolutely about.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16It's jungles, it's a nasty weapon, it's a race to the end,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19and it involves obscure parts of this country
0:12:19 > 0:12:21and another part of the world.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Good for people wanting to come on Pointless. There you are.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Now, Frank, a word ending ORD.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29There you are, on 2 - behind you on the far podium,
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Miranda and Tony are on 31. So, 28 is your target score.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34I'm going to go for misericord.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- AUDIENCE OOHS - What?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40That, by the way,
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- that was mine! - Was that your word?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Genuinely - no, I promise, that was mine!
0:12:45 > 0:12:47I didn't write that down.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Oh, no, I didn't think you would have done.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51No, well done.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54It's slightly annoying. LAUGHTER
0:12:54 > 0:12:56There we are, misericord says Frank.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58There is your red line.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01If you get below that, you are through to the next round.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Let's see how many of our 100 people got misericord.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05I hope it's pointless.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09It's right.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Very well done.
0:13:14 > 0:13:151!
0:13:15 > 0:13:17APPLAUSE
0:13:19 > 0:13:213 is your total.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- Very well done.- Very well played.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26I was going to say how on earth is that not pointless?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28But then both of you came up with it, so I guess it's...
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Again, you could maybe... I could define it, if I so chose,
0:13:32 > 0:13:34but I wonder if you might like to.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36I have a feeling it's an organ, isn't it?
0:13:36 > 0:13:37It's a musical...
0:13:37 > 0:13:40I thought it was a small medieval knife, isn't it?
0:13:40 > 0:13:41Oh, maybe... Well...
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- He called my bluff! - You stab the organ with it.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46I think it's actually a ledge
0:13:46 > 0:13:48underneath the seat in a prayer stool, I think.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- There you are.- So, hold on, you both know the word...
0:13:51 > 0:13:53It's nothing to do... Anyway, it's fine,
0:13:53 > 0:13:55I'm not going to go too far into it.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57It can be a small dagger as well, a misericord.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Oh, there you are.- But it's not an organ.- It's not an organ.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Thanks very much, Richard.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Now, Kevin, this is exciting.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Let's talk a little bit about your job in journalism -
0:14:06 > 0:14:07a TV reviewer.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- Yes.- I mean, that's nice, a job you can do on a sofa.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Yeah, exactly, in your underpants.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- In your...- If you want to. - Probably, yeah.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Be honest, do you watch programmes all the way to the end, always?
0:14:18 > 0:14:19Yeah, I think that's...
0:14:19 > 0:14:21You've got to give it a fair crack of the whip.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24You've got to have the full viewer's experience.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Do you actually watch at home or do you have a, sort of,
0:14:26 > 0:14:28viewing room that feels more workmanlike?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31I have a rather extraordinarily big television.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Now, Kevin, you have a target, here -
0:14:33 > 0:14:358 or less keeps you in the game.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Well, I feel completely emasculated by misericord,
0:14:38 > 0:14:40but I was going to say harpsichord.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43You could be emasculated by a misericord, as it happens. Um...
0:14:43 > 0:14:46LAUGHTER
0:14:46 > 0:14:48There is your red line. You are going for harpsichord,
0:14:48 > 0:14:51let's see if you can get below that red line with harpsichord.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53It's never going to do it, is it?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01You've done it!
0:15:01 > 0:15:025, very well done, indeed.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Well done.
0:15:05 > 0:15:0727 is your total.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Oh, Tony, this can't happen, this simply can't happen.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Very well played there, Kevin.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Harpsichord - it's a type of small dagger.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18LAUGHTER
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Thank you very much indeed.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Melissa, welcome to Pointless, good to have you here.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Now, I have to say, you have probably one of those
0:15:27 > 0:15:29most wonderful jobs in journalism.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32One of those permanent columns at the back of The Spectator.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- Yes.- When did you get that?
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Quite some years ago, actually.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39It is said that people read from the back.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Oh, I think they do. When you first got there, did you feel,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44"Well, this is it, I've arrived?"
0:15:44 > 0:15:46I did, a bit, yes.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I said, "Well, what do you want me to write about?"
0:15:48 > 0:15:50And the editor said, "Just be yourself."
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- Well, that's helpful!- I thought, "That's really helpful, isn't it?"
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- Yes.- So, that's what I've done.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59I'm very flattered to have lovely letters
0:15:59 > 0:16:03from wonderful Spectator readers who read it and say they enjoy it.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Wonderful. So it's a word ending ORD that we're looking for.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10I mean, I could really start scraping the bottom of the barrel
0:16:10 > 0:16:12with some very strange words that I thought of,
0:16:12 > 0:16:14but I'm not sure about...
0:16:14 > 0:16:16So I'm going to say accord.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Accord. Accord, says Melissa.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21This is exciting. There's your red line.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Below that red line, you remain with us.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Above that red line,
0:16:25 > 0:16:28a glass of room-temperature white wine awaits you.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Let's see how many of our 100 people said accord.
0:16:38 > 0:16:4031!
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Oh, Melissa!
0:16:44 > 0:16:47A reprieve for Tony, who shall see Round Two, at last.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51- But, Melissa, I'm afraid... - At last, at last! Round Two, at last.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53..that takes your total up to 50.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Sorry, Melissa, not a bad answer amongst all eight of you, there,
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- a terrific round from everybody. - I did think I came up with another.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00- You came up with another word? - Yeah, yeah.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02OK, this is just to help me out, right?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- Yeah, yeah.- What other word did you come up with?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06I came up with milord.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Oh, as in, "You rang, milord?"
0:17:08 > 0:17:10As in, "Oh, yes, an English milord".
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- Would have scored you 3 points. - There we are.- Would've been a very good answer.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Slightly disappointing. - The answer I had for you was a pointless answer.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- You are kind.- That's all right.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22There's only two Swedish words in the English language.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26- Oh, smorgasbord!- Smorgasbord! That's what I wrote down.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- Oh, that's the one. Look at that. - There you go.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- Pointless answer. - Oh, you flatter me.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Well, you know. Let's take a look at some other pointless answers.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35There are some words people could have got, here.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Again, a lot of compound words here.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Byword is a pointless answer, that would have been a nice one.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Drawcord. Ganglord.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Loanword. Misword. Needlecord.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Rerecord. There's smorgasbord.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Watchword - would have been a lovely pointless answer, wouldn't it?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53So, at the end of our first round,
0:17:53 > 0:17:54I'm afraid the pair who are heading home,
0:17:54 > 0:17:57with their high score of 50... I'm sorry, Melissa and Toby.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00But, I mean, that made that last pass incredibly exciting.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03I mean, all sorts of swings and roundabouts, there.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07And a very unlikely finish to it, rather a twist in the tail, if I might say.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09It's been lovely having you. Sorry to send you home so soon.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11It seems a terrible waste, but there we are.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Thank you for coming to play, Melissa and Toby.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15APPLAUSE
0:18:16 > 0:18:19But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27And so we're suddenly down to three pairs.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29At the end of this round, we'll say goodbye to another pair.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Best of luck to all three pairs for this round.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Our category for Round Two...
0:18:34 > 0:18:36..is Music. It's Music.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Misspelt song titles.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- Richard?- On each board, we're going to show you six song titles,
0:18:58 > 0:19:00all of which have deliberately misspelt words in them.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03You need to tell us the act who had a hit with any of these, please.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05UK top 40 hit with any of these songs.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07There'll be six on the first board, six on the second,
0:19:07 > 0:19:0912 in all to have a go at at home.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Thank you very much indeed. OK, so let's reveal
0:19:11 > 0:19:14our first board of misspelt song titles.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16And here they are. We have got...
0:19:31 > 0:19:32I'll read those all one last time.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41Kevin.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43I'm hopeless at this.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45OK, well, Eddie Grant?
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- Gimme Hope Jo'Anna? - Eddie Grant, says Kevin.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Let's see if that's right for Gimme Hope Jo'Anna.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Let's see how many of our 100 people said Eddie Grant.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55It's right.
0:19:59 > 0:20:0115.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02APPLAUSE
0:20:02 > 0:20:0415.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Yeah, that's a great answer, Kevin, very well played.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- A number seven hit for Eddie Grant. - Thanks very much, indeed.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Lizo.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15I'm going to take a risk. I hope this is right,
0:20:15 > 0:20:17and apologies if it's wrong,
0:20:17 > 0:20:19I'm going to go for Flava.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Is that a Peter Andre song?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Peter Andre... We shall find out, Lizo.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Peter Andre, how many of our 100 people said that?
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Yes, it's a Peter Andre song, very well done.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35A risk well worth taking, because down it goes...
0:20:35 > 0:20:36To 4! Brilliant.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38APPLAUSE
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Once again, a commanding score, there,
0:20:40 > 0:20:42on the second podium.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Another great round. Well played, everybody.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- It's all about ice cream. - There we are. Thank you, Richard.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Now, Miranda, this board's all yours.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51If you wanted to, you could go through all of those songs
0:20:51 > 0:20:53and fill in all the blanks for us.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55I'm going to go for Mama Weer All Crazee Now.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57And I think...I think that's Slade.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Slade, says Miranda.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Gets a vigorous nod from Tony.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01Let's see if that's right.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Let's see how many of our 100 people said Slade.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11It's right. 15's our high score, 4 is our low.
0:21:11 > 0:21:1334, for Slade.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15APPLAUSE
0:21:15 > 0:21:16That's a high score.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Good round from everyone. The kings of misspelling song titles, Slade.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23That was number one for three weeks, Mama Weer All Crazee Now.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Gimme Gimme Gimme, I think everyone would know,
0:21:25 > 0:21:27and everyone did well to avoid - it's Abba, 72.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Let's Get Ready To Rhumble.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- PJ and Duncan.- PJ and Duncan, of course it is.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33Would have scored 45.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Stickwitu is...
0:21:35 > 0:21:37No, I was going to say Pussycat Dolls.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39It is the Pussycat Dolls.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40- Yeah.- 7 points for that.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- Peter Andre, the best answer on the board, Lizo.- There we are.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44Thank you very much, Richard.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47We're halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores
0:21:47 > 0:21:48before we come back down the line.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Lizo, very well done indeed. Lovely low score.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Lizo and Frank, I think, looking strong contenders
0:21:53 > 0:21:55for the head-to-head at this stage.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56Then up to 15, where we find Kevin and Jane.
0:21:56 > 0:21:5834, Miranda and Tony.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Now, Tony, a chance for you to shine, here,
0:22:01 > 0:22:02because you will get the new board.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05You can just find a really lovely low-scoring answer on that,
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- let's hope that keeps you in the game.- Come on!
0:22:07 > 0:22:11We'll come back down the line, can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Let's put six more misspelt song titles up on the board.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20We have got...
0:22:35 > 0:22:37I'll read all those one last time.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46There we are.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47- So, Tony. OK.- I'm going to...
0:22:47 > 0:22:50I'm going to go for good old Alexei Sayle
0:22:50 > 0:22:52and 'Ullo John! Gotta New Motor?
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Very good. No red line for you, you're the high-scorers.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Let's see how far down the column you get with Alexei Sayle. How many people said this?
0:23:03 > 0:23:04It's right.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Oh, it's a good answer - look at that, Tony.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Very well done indeed. 12.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Is it good enough, I wonder?
0:23:13 > 0:23:1546 is your total.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Good work, Tony. Got to number 15 in the charts.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- More innocent times, weren't they? - Oh, weren't they, though?
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Imagine such a song getting to number 15 these days.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Thanks very much. Frank...
0:23:26 > 0:23:29You have a target. 41.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31OK, this is not good for me, right now.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Lizo, I just want to say now,
0:23:33 > 0:23:35it's been great working with you.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36I'm so sorry.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39So, I'm going to go for Rod Stewart, Da 'Ya' Think I'm Sexy.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Rod Stewart. OK, well, let's see - here is your red line.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46You know, it's all right.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47- It's borderline.- Rod Stewart.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Let's see how many of our 100 people said Rod Stewart.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55It's right.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Oh, it's 52.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00APPLAUSE
0:24:00 > 0:24:04Which takes your total up to 56.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Big score, but not that big, is it?
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Not crazily big. All the profits from that song,
0:24:08 > 0:24:11all the royalties from that song go to Unicef.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- Do they, really?- Yeah, they do indeed.- Good, thank you.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15So, now, Jane...
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Jane, you are on 15.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19The high score is now Lizo and Frank on 56,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22so 40 is your target.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26Nothing Compares 2 U is Sinead O'Connor.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Dirrty, I think,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30is Christina Aguilera.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Fings Ain't Wot They Used T'Be,
0:24:32 > 0:24:36I'd almost hazard a guess at someone like Barbara Windsor or something,
0:24:36 > 0:24:37that kind of...
0:24:37 > 0:24:41But I'm going to go for Sk8er Boi, and it's Avril Lavigne.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Avril Lavigne, says Jane. Here is your red line.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Get below that with Avril Lavigne
0:24:46 > 0:24:48and you are through to the next round.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Let's see how many of our 100 people said Avril Lavigne.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55It's right.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00And you're through. Look at that. Very well done. 32.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- 32. - Taking your total up to 47.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09That's very close, again - look at those three scores, there. Very impressive from everybody.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11That's a proper guilty pleasure song, Sk8er Boi,
0:25:11 > 0:25:12I'm quite a big fan of Sk8er Boi.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13Dirrty, you're right, Jane.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Christina Aguilera - would've been a slightly better score. Would've scored you 25.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Fings Ain't What They Used T'Be - not Barbara Windsor.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Max Bygraves - would've scored four points.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25You're absolutely right, Nothing Compares 2 U, Sinead O'Connor.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Just scores less than Rod Stewart, 51 points for that.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Thank you very much, Richard.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32At the end of our second round, I'm very sorry to say
0:25:32 > 0:25:35the pair we are saying goodbye to, with their high score of 56,
0:25:35 > 0:25:37is Frank and Lizo, our stars from Round One.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40What can I say? You'll just have to come back and play again.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43But thank you so much, Frank and Lizo, brilliant contestants.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45APPLAUSE
0:25:48 > 0:25:50But for Miranda and Tony, and Kevin and Jane,
0:25:50 > 0:25:52it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Congratulations, Kevin and Jane, Miranda and Tony.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01You're now one step closer to the final
0:26:01 > 0:26:04and a chance to play for our jackpot for your charities.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Our jackpot currently stands at £2,500.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08There it is.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13So, we have to work out who's going to go through to the final and play for that jackpot.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16We are going to do that by making you go head-to-head.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19The nice thing is you can start playing as a team from here on in,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22you can chat before you give your answers. It's lovely, takes the pressure off.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38OK, here is your first question and your first question this evening
0:26:38 > 0:26:40is all about...
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Sports at the Summer Olympics.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- Richard?- I'll show you five pairs of images, and each of those images
0:26:45 > 0:26:47will spell out, essentially,
0:26:47 > 0:26:49a sport that is played at a Summer Olympics.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- Can you tell us what the sports are, please?- Thanks very much indeed.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54OK, let's reveal our five images. Here they come.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21There we are.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25Kevin and Jane, you've been our low-scorers, so you will get to go first.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28We'd like to point out - we know all of them.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Let's go for C, Jude, doe
0:27:30 > 0:27:32- - judo.- Judo.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34OK, judo say Kevin and Jane.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Now, then, Miranda and Tony, talk us through the rest of that board,
0:27:38 > 0:27:42- if you can.- OK, so, the first one is basketball.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45The second one is rugby.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47D is fencing.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49And E is archery.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51So, we think, maybe...
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Should we go for E?
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- Oh, it's so hard.- I mean, that top one, it could be,
0:27:56 > 0:27:58like, laundry dance. Is that an Olympic...
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Is that a sport at the Summer Olympics?
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- Let's stick with your instincts and go with it.- OK. Let's say archery.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06You're going to go for archery? So, we have judo. We have archery.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Kevin and Jane said judo for C. Let's see if that's right.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Let's see how many of our 100 people said judo.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15- This is just luck.- It is.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17It's right.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21And it's a good answer.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22Down it goes, 28. Very well done.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Miranda and Tony have gone for archery for E.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31Let's see if that's right. How many of our 100 people said archery.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36It's right.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37It's got...
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Oh, 55.
0:28:39 > 0:28:4155 for archery.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Well done. Kevin and Jane, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47There is one answer there that would have beaten judo.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50I think you may have been tempted to go for it, because it was A.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52- Basketball.- Laundry dance!
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Laundry dance would have scored you 25.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57B of course is rugby.
0:28:57 > 0:29:0043 points for that.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02D - fencing.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04A big-scorer - would have scored 68.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07There we are, thank you very much, Richard.
0:29:07 > 0:29:08Here comes your second question.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Miranda and Tony, you get to answer this one first,
0:29:11 > 0:29:14but you have to win it to stay in the game, so the very best of luck. It concerns...
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Whoohoo!
0:29:19 > 0:29:21We're going to show you the names of five famous TV roads or streets,
0:29:21 > 0:29:23but with alternate letters missing.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26- Can you fill in those gaps, please? - Thanks very much indeed.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29So let's reveal our famous TV roads with bits missing.
0:29:46 > 0:29:47I'm going to read those again.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02There we are. Miranda and Tony will go first.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04- Yeah.- OK, this is a guess.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06There are two really obvious answers we know,
0:30:06 > 0:30:09but we're going to go for the bottom one
0:30:09 > 0:30:11and we're going to say it's Blossom Avenue.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Blossom Avenue. Let's hope so.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18Now, Kevin and Jane, talk us through the rest of these roads.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20- Wisteria Lane.- Ramsay Street.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- Ramsay Street.- Albert Square.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26That's going to be the low-scorer, the Brady Bunch,
0:30:26 > 0:30:29but outside of that - I don't know.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31- Wisteria Lane?- Yeah.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35- Wisteria Lane.- We have Blossom Avenue and Wisteria Lane.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38So, Miranda and Tony, Blossom Avenue, let's see if it's right.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43- It is right.- It is right.- Very well done, Blossom Avenue.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Let's see how far down we go with it.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48That's a good answer, 32.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52- 32.- You're OK with that.- Yes.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55And against that we have Kevin and Jane saying Wisteria Lane.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03It's right.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07This is close. 36! Very well done.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Miranda and Tony, you're back in the game. Whoohoo!
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Fantastic. After two questions, it is 1-1.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Good head-to-head as well. Very few teams ever do that,
0:31:15 > 0:31:19look at the words and think... It can literally only be Blossom Avenue but
0:31:19 > 0:31:21very few people have the guts to go for it.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Very well done. Ramsay Street, Neighbours.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Scores you 77.
0:31:26 > 0:31:2986 for Albert Square.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31This last one is another one.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34It's something Way, it's working out what that first word is.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37It will get you one point. If I tell you
0:31:37 > 0:31:41it is a surname and it is the surname of a president...
0:31:41 > 0:31:42Clinton Way.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- Ah!- It would have scored you one point.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Very well done if you got that at home.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52So, it all comes down to this third and final question.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55This is the decider. Whoever wins this one goes through to the final
0:31:55 > 0:31:57and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00The third question is all about...
0:32:03 > 0:32:07- Thank goodness!- Protected Designation of Origin Foods.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11- Richard?- We'll show you the names of five foods, all of which come from a
0:32:11 > 0:32:13particular area and can only be made in that area.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17We need you to tell us the country of origin of these five foods, please.
0:32:17 > 0:32:22Whoever gives the lowest answer goes through to play for that jackpot, so very, very best of luck.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26The country of origin of these five foods and here they are.
0:32:26 > 0:32:27We've got...
0:32:36 > 0:32:37I'll read those again.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47There we go. Now, Kevin and Jane will go first.
0:32:47 > 0:32:48Ooh!
0:32:48 > 0:32:52OK. Don't know whether to go for an easy one or have a risky one.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- Shall we risk it? - Shall we risk it?- Go for Spain.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59Jamon de Huelva. We'll guess that it's Spain.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Jamon de Huelva, Spain,
0:33:02 > 0:33:04say Kevin and Jane.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Miranda and Tony, talk us through that board.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11Well, we think that the top one is Dutch
0:33:11 > 0:33:13and we think the second one sounds like it is Italian.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17The fourth one is definitely France and the last one,
0:33:17 > 0:33:20that Weisslacker sounds to me as though
0:33:20 > 0:33:22it can only be either Germany or Austria.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Shall we take a punt, or should we do the top one?
0:33:24 > 0:33:27I think Weisslacker, Germany.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Weisslacker, Germany. So we have Spain and Germany.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Kevin and Jane said Spain for Jamon de Huelva.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Let's see if that's right, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39It is Spain.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Well done.
0:33:43 > 0:33:4529.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48- That's because it sounds Spanish.- Yeah.
0:33:48 > 0:33:5029 for Spain.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52I think this might be wrong.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Miranda and Tony have gone Weisslacker, Germany.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Let's see if Germany is right for Weisslacker.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02- It is Germany.- Oh, my God.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04- Well done.- It is Germany.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Oh, 45. Bad luck.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Weisslacker, 45. Very well done, Kevin and Jane.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15After three questions, you are through to the final 2-1.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Very well played, great head-to-head there.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Gouda is the Netherlands.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21That would have scored 56.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Roquefort - France, of course. That would have scored 47.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Imokilly Regato -
0:34:27 > 0:34:29it rather depends on knowing where Imokilly is,
0:34:29 > 0:34:32and the answer is Ireland.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34It's an Irish cheese and would have scored you four points.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Very well done if you said that at home.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid,
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Miranda and Tony, it is you. What a brilliant head-to-head round.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Some good answering from you. Thank you for coming to play.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51Sorry we have to say goodbye. Brilliant, come back and play again. Miranda and Tony.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53- Thank you.- Thank you. Well done.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56For Kevin and Jane, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Congratulations, Kevin and Jane.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04You fought off all the competition
0:35:04 > 0:35:07and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot for your charities
0:35:16 > 0:35:19and at the end of today's show the jackpot is standing at £2,500.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Well, we've tested you and here you are. Amazing.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29- Absolutely fantastic.- Who knew? - Who knew?!
0:35:29 > 0:35:32You get to choose your category from the four we put up on the board.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Let's see what today's selection looks like.
0:35:35 > 0:35:36We've got...
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Royal Family, I'd be quite keen on,
0:35:47 > 0:35:52but Royal Families? When you start getting into those ones on bicycles,
0:35:52 > 0:35:53I'm not so good at those.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55- Or the Japanese one. - The European royals.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- What do you fancy? - Shall we go for Beautiful Things?
0:36:00 > 0:36:04You want to try it because we have no idea what it is?
0:36:04 > 0:36:05I thought Beautiful Things probably...
0:36:05 > 0:36:09I don't know. I think it's something to do with gossip, but I don't know.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Which one do you want? Say.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14We are being very decisive here, aren't we(?)
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Royal Families? Do you want to do that?
0:36:16 > 0:36:18- Are you any good on Royal Families? - No, but...
0:36:20 > 0:36:23I can't go for something on my own.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- Shall we go for Beautiful Things, as we don't know what it is?- Yes.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29We're going to go for Beautiful Things because we have no idea what
0:36:29 > 0:36:32- it is.- OK, so you're not going to go for the thing that one of you
0:36:32 > 0:36:36is an expert on, you're going to go for something that neither of you knows anything about?
0:36:36 > 0:36:38- Neither of us are experts on anything.- OK.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40OK...
0:36:41 > 0:36:44OK, here are your three questions on Beautiful Things.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47We are looking for any UK top 40 albums
0:36:47 > 0:36:49by the Beautiful South, please,
0:36:49 > 0:36:51apart from EPs and greatest hits.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54We're looking for anyone in the film A Beautiful Mind.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Anyone, according to IMDb, credited in A Beautiful Mind.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00Or any of the songs on the original cast recording of Beautiful,
0:37:00 > 0:37:02the Carole King musical, please.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Any Beautiful South top 40 albums up to January 2016,
0:37:05 > 0:37:08the cast of A Beautiful Mind, according to IMDb,
0:37:08 > 0:37:11and any songs on the original soundtrack recording of Beautiful,
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- the Carole King musical. Best of luck.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17As always, you have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19All you need to win that jackpot is
0:37:19 > 0:37:23for just one of your answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30It's that guy, the star of The Killing Fields.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Sam... I think he was...
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Russell Crowe is the obvious one
0:37:36 > 0:37:38from A Beautiful Mind.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40This is the worst category ever.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Why did we choose it?
0:37:43 > 0:37:46Do you know any Carole King... I don't know Carole...
0:37:46 > 0:37:48It's just...
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Beautiful, original soundtrack.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52No. Beautiful South albums,
0:37:52 > 0:37:54I can think of a few tracks.
0:37:54 > 0:37:55Didn't they do Perfect 10?
0:37:55 > 0:37:58I don't know if that would be the name of the album.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00I bet they did do that.
0:38:00 > 0:38:01Beautiful Mind cast.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- We'll have to go for that. - So, Russell Crowe...
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Sam Waterman, is that his name?
0:38:08 > 0:38:12Sam Waterman? I don't know. Sam Shepard. Sam...
0:38:12 > 0:38:14The actor in Beautiful Mind.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Who's the female lead?
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Ten seconds left.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20I can't remember.
0:38:20 > 0:38:21Sam Waterman, then.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23We can say it.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- Sam...- Sam Waterman.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Sam O'Neill, Sam Shepard.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- OK, that is your time up, I'm afraid.- OK.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32It's always the quickest minute.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34What are you going to go for?
0:38:34 > 0:38:37A Beautiful Mind cast, Russell Crowe.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41Beautiful South album, Perfect 10.
0:38:41 > 0:38:42Perfect 10.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45I think there's a guy called Sam Waterman in A Beautiful Mind.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- Sam Waterman.- I think so. - OK, Sam Waterman.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:52 > 0:38:53Sam Waterman.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Because I've never heard of him.
0:38:56 > 0:38:57That's a good start, surely.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Sam Waterman goes last.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01- Least likely?- It's probably wrong.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04- Russell Crowe least likely.- Russell Crowe we'll put first.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Perfect 10 in the middle.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Let's put those answers up on the board in that order.
0:39:09 > 0:39:10We've got...
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Very best of luck, that was a tricky category for you.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21However, I think there's one answer there, if it's right,
0:39:21 > 0:39:23that could very easily be pointless.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25If that won the jackpot for you,
0:39:25 > 0:39:27if any of these answers won the jackpot for you,
0:39:27 > 0:39:29what are your charities? Kevin, you first.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31My charity is All Dogs Matter.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35It's a charity that looks after rescue dogs, abandoned dogs.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38I'm a great dog lover, I've got two rescue dogs myself,
0:39:38 > 0:39:41and friends of mine run this charity and it's a really good cause.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Wonderful. Jane?
0:39:43 > 0:39:46I'm an ambassador for the superb Help for Heroes charity.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49- So I'd like the money to go to them. - Very well done.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56Two fantastic charities there, three answers on the board.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58We've got to hope at least one of those is pointless
0:39:58 > 0:40:01and will win that jackpot for your charities, so very best of luck.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Your first answer was Russell Crowe.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07We were looking for cast members of the film A Beautiful Mind.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10This has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12For £2,500,
0:40:12 > 0:40:14let's find out how many of our 100 people said Russell Crowe.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19It's right.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22We knew it was right, but let's see how far down the column it goes.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Russell Crowe taking us down through the 40s.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28If this goes all the way down to zero you leave with...
0:40:28 > 0:40:2932.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Not a bad answer.
0:40:33 > 0:40:34Slightly surprising.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36That's lower than I thought.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Anyway, there we are, not a pointless answer.
0:40:39 > 0:40:40Two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Your next answer was Perfect 10.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45In this case, we were looking for Beautiful South top 40 albums.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51So, for £2,500, let's see how many people said Perfect 10.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56No, bad luck.
0:40:56 > 0:40:57Bad luck.
0:40:59 > 0:41:00Again, not a pointless answer.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Which means everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:41:03 > 0:41:05which is Sam Waterman.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Now, this is the mysterious actor who we think
0:41:08 > 0:41:11- was also in A Beautiful Mind. - Yeah.- Let's find out.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13It has to be correct and then it has to be pointless.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17If it is both of those things, you leave here with £2,500 for your charities.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19How many people said Sam Waterman? Is it a real person?
0:41:23 > 0:41:25No! I'm sorry.
0:41:29 > 0:41:30I'm so sorry.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34Well, that turned out to be a very tough category for you
0:41:34 > 0:41:36and I'm afraid you didn't manage to find
0:41:36 > 0:41:38that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:38 > 0:41:41so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43However, as today's show is a charity special
0:41:43 > 0:41:46and all of our celebrities are playing for nominated charities,
0:41:46 > 0:41:49we are going to donate £500 to each celebrity pair
0:41:49 > 0:41:51- for their respective charities, so there you are.- Thank you.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56It has been a really exciting show
0:41:56 > 0:41:58and you've been such a big part of it,
0:41:58 > 0:42:01and a really strong performance right the way across,
0:42:01 > 0:42:04and you each get a Pointless trophy to take home as well.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Very well done indeed, Kevin and Jane.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12That was great fun, thanks so much. It's been a lovely show.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Beautiful South albums.
0:42:18 > 0:42:200898 was a pointless answer.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- Golddiggas, Headnodders And Pholk Songs...- Oh, yes(!)- Yes, of course.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Painting It Red, Superbi.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Perfect 10 was a track from Quench, which was also a pointless answer
0:42:28 > 0:42:30for Beautiful South albums. Five pointless answers there.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34A Beautiful Mind. The cast - Adam Goldberg.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Christopher Plummer is a pointless answer.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Josh Lucas. Judd Hirsch, more famous for Taxi.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Everyone in that film was a pointless answer,
0:42:40 > 0:42:42apart from Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly,
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Paul Bettany and Ed Harris. Everyone else a pointless answer.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49The Carole King one is where there's loads of very well-known pointless answers.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52If anyone has seen the musical or knows much about Carole King,
0:42:52 > 0:42:54there are some good pointless answers here.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57One Fine Day, You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling, Up On The Roof,
0:42:57 > 0:42:59The Locomotion. Loads of other great songs.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Happy Days Are Here Again, It Might As Well Rain Until September,
0:43:02 > 0:43:05On Broadway, Pleasant Valley Sunday, a pointless answer.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Take Good Care Of My Baby, Some Kind Of Wonderful.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Loads and loads of pointless answers there,
0:43:09 > 0:43:12very well done if you got one of those and, thank you,
0:43:12 > 0:43:14it has been a terrific show, it's been great fun.
0:43:14 > 0:43:19Thanks, Richard. Join us next time, when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:19 > 0:43:23- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me - goodbye.
