0:00:34 > 0:00:37Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42And couple number one.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Oh, is it me? I'll go!

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Yes, I'm taking part in Dick Whittington this year -
0:00:49 > 0:00:52- can't wait.- Well done. And I'm Natasha Hamilton.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Who?! No, I'm joking!
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Keith! And I'm playing Jasmine in Aladdin
0:00:58 > 0:01:01at the Epstein Theatre in Liverpool.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03- It's a good one.- It's a good one.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Couple number two.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09I'm Faye Tozer and, tonight,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12I will be the Good Fairy at the Sunderland Empire.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Indeed, yes, yes, yes!
0:01:14 > 0:01:17And I am her partner, I am Bobby Davro,
0:01:17 > 0:01:21and I will be playing Buttons in Cinderella at the Wycombe Swan.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25Couple number three.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29I am Lesley Joseph and I am playing Wicked Queen Lucretia
0:01:29 > 0:01:31at Plymouth Theatre Royal. Har!
0:01:31 > 0:01:34And I'm Duncan James, also at the Plymouth Theatre Royal,
0:01:34 > 0:01:36and I'm Prince Charming.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42And, finally, couple number four.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Hello. I'm Wendi Peters
0:01:43 > 0:01:47and I'm playing Wicked Queen in Snow White at the Sheffield Lyceum.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Hello, Xander. I'm Joe Pasquale
0:01:49 > 0:01:52and I'm playing Muddles in Dartford,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54in Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs, thank you very much.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Thank you very much, all of you!
0:01:57 > 0:01:59A very warm welcome to Pointless Celebrities.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01We'll get a chance to chat to each of you throughout the show.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06He's like three wise men rolled into one.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Hiya! Hey, everybody,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Ah! Goodness me.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17I'll tell you something,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20I did not realise this was a Christmas special!
0:02:20 > 0:02:23It is very fortunate that I always come dressed as a reindeer anyway,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25which is what I normally wear to work.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Who have you come as?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30I... I've come as a festive Henry VIII.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33You've come as Father Christmas after Movember.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Is that right? You've lost the beard.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37We've got some Pointless legends on the show.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Cheggers is on the show. Cheggers has won a jackpot.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41He's won jackpot on this show.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45And on the next podium, he knows I'm going to say this, it's Bobby Davro.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Now Bobby Davro is a legend on Pointless for a different reason.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Of course.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52He's got the highest score in the entire history of Pointless.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Bobby and Kenny Lynch played against Cannon and Ball.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58It got to 600-all.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01You almost certainly can't do worse, Bobby, which is fantastic.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- No. But I'll try! - Welcome to you all.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Merry Christmas to everybody.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07We'll have lots of fun. Lots of lovely questions.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09I've got a couple of levers next to me.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- Oh, go on.- Well, I'll show you what they do.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13I'll show you. Look at that.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Oh, no! That's lovely!
0:03:16 > 0:03:18That's nice - a white Christmas.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- That's really sweet. - Isn't that lovely?- Look at that.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- So you get the snow? - Well, if you wanted snow,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- you should have asked for snow. - Please may I have some snow?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- No, cos... It's not just... - Oh, I've got to earn it, have I?
0:03:31 > 0:03:35No, you don't have to earn it. You should have asked before the show.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39I see. So I haven't got snow and you have.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Yeah. I'll be doing that at various times during the show,
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- just to make it even more festive. - Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Now, as usual, all of today's questions have been put to
0:03:47 > 0:03:50100 people before the show. Our contestants are looking
0:03:50 > 0:03:52for those all-important pointless answers.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Just in case you've forgotten,
0:03:54 > 0:03:56these are the answers that none of our 100 people have given.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59If you find a pointless answer, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01As today's show is a celebrity special,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04each of our lovely celebrities is playing for a nominated charity.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08We're going to start off with a jackpot of £2,500. There it is.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18OK, now, just to remind you,
0:04:18 > 0:04:21the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be
0:04:21 > 0:04:24eliminated, so keep your scores nice and low and you should be fine.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26The very, very best of luck to all four pairs.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29No conferring, of course, until we get to the head-to-head round.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Our first category this evening is...
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Can you all decide on your pairs, who is going to go first
0:04:37 > 0:04:40and second? Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47OK. And the question concerns...
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Richard.- It's much less scary than it sounds, I promise you.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55On each board we are going to show you seven film titles,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58but we've rewritten the film titles using slightly different words.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Can you tell us what these film titles are, please?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Seven on the first board. Seven on the second board.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- 14 in all to have a go at at home. Very best of luck.- OK,
0:05:05 > 0:05:09let's reveal our first board of Synonyms of Film Titles.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Let's see what it looks like. We have got...
0:05:46 > 0:05:47OK, let's read those again.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Natasha, a warm welcome to Pointless.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Now, tell us what you're doing and where?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20I'm playing Princess Jasmine in Aladdin at the Epstein Theatre
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- in Liverpool.- That's nice. You live near Liverpool?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25I do. I live just outside of Liverpool,
0:06:25 > 0:06:28so it's a nice one. I can go home every night,
0:06:28 > 0:06:31and sleep in my own bed and see my kids every day.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- How many kids have you got? - I've got four.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Christmas must be wild around your house, I should think.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Yeah. It is. It's crazy, messy,
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- yeah.- Do the kids ever come along to the pantomime?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- I suppose they come... - Yeah, they do.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Once school is out, they'll come a few days in a row and just hang out
0:06:46 > 0:06:48and generally annoy everyone
0:06:48 > 0:06:52and try on costumes and have lots of fun, really.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Now then, Natasha, what are the titles we are aiming for
0:06:55 > 0:06:56with these synonyms?
0:06:56 > 0:07:00The only one, and it's going to be... I'm sorry Keith,
0:07:00 > 0:07:05- it's going to be a high number. - Yeah, just go for it.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08The first one and that's going to be The Good, The Bad And The Ugly.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10The Good, The Bad And The Ugly, says Natasha.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Let's see how many of our 100 people
0:07:12 > 0:07:14went for The Good, The Bad And The Ugly.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17It's right.
0:07:19 > 0:07:2154. Not bad.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22Not bad at all.
0:07:22 > 0:07:2454. Good start to the show.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Yes, very well played.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27It's got that very famous score by Ennio Morricone.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30He'd been nominated for so many Oscars - he won an honorary one -
0:07:30 > 0:07:33but The Hateful Eight is the first time he had ever won an Oscar.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34- Really? His first one?- Yeah.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37I might take my hood off under the lights.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40I was rather hoping that George Lucas might watch and go, "Hold on,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43"I'm looking for a Wookiee for the next Star Wars movie.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45"This guy, this guy has got it all."
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- That would be nice, wouldn't it? - Yeah. Thank you very much.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49Faye, welcome.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Welcome, welcome. Sunderland you are this year?
0:07:52 > 0:07:53I am, at the Empire.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Fantastic. How many pantos have you done?
0:07:56 > 0:08:00This will be my fourth as an adult, cos I used to do it as a child,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03and my first-ever celebrity was Davy Jones from The Monkees.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Wow. That's amazing.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06- Yeah.- Very good indeed.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Now, do they get you to sing Steps songs?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- They do.- So you'll always have a Steps song.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Which one are you going to do? - Which one do you think?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Erm...
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- That's a good question! - Tragedy, would it be?
0:08:20 > 0:08:21There we are, brilliant.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Now, Faye, what would you like to go for?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27The first one I recognised was the top one, that she's gone for.
0:08:27 > 0:08:33- Yeah.- I'm going to make a guess - Today Is The End Of The World?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Doomsday.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- OK.- Yeah...
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Doomsday. Let's see what happens when we say Doomsday.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- Oh!- I know.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50I'm sorry. That may well not be the last incorrect answer of the round...
0:08:50 > 0:08:52because Bobby's yet to go.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56I'm afraid Doomsday's an incorrect answer, scores you 100 points.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Yes, sorry, Faye. A perfectly good answer to that clue,
0:08:59 > 0:09:01but not a Martin Sheen movie from 1979.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Now, Duncan, welcome to Pointless again.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Last time you were here with... - I was with Mummy.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- You were with your mum.- Yeah. - That was lovely.- Yeah.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Now, when you were in a boyband,
0:09:11 > 0:09:15presumably people keep asking you to be in pantomimes the whole time.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17This is my third panto, actually, I've ever done.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I was with the lovely Joe Pasquale last year.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Aw, where were you? We were in Southampton together.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24We had a wonderful time.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26And this year I'm with the gorgeous Lesley,
0:09:26 > 0:09:30so it's been wonderful actually to be with such incredible people.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Fabulous. And when do you finish? What's the...?
0:09:33 > 0:09:3414th of January we finish.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Oh.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- Oh!- Oh! That's a long run.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Then off to a hot beach somewhere.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- No, back to Hollyoaks. - Back to Hollyoaks!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Now, Duncan, what would you like to go for?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48I'm going to go for the only one that I can see on the board
0:09:48 > 0:09:50that is probably going to get a lot of points,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53but hopefully it's going to beat Bobby and Faye.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56It's number three - Raiders Of The Lost Ark.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Raiders Of The Lost Ark, says Duncan.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Raiders Of The Lost Ark.
0:10:05 > 0:10:0654's our lowest score.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Look, it whizzed past it.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10That's a great score.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- Well done.- Very well played.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Well played, Duncan. And of course co-written by George Lucas,
0:10:16 > 0:10:20the chief of Star Wars, who I think is a very, very talented man,
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- very good talent spotter. - Yes. There we are.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Thank you very much, Richard.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- Joe, welcome. Welcome back. - Hello, Xander.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30It's lovely to have you here. We could talk about pantomimes and
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Christmas, but I want to talk about flying, Joe.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- You fly.- I do fly.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37I do have a plane. I don't just do that, I actually use a plane, yeah.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39And this grew out of a fear of flying?
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Yeah. I was petrified of flying - I hated it -
0:10:42 > 0:10:44and then I did I'm A Celebrity in 2004 and they threw me out
0:10:44 > 0:10:47of a plane, so I thought, "If I can jump out of one,
0:10:47 > 0:10:49"I should be able to learn to fly one."
0:10:49 > 0:10:51So I've got a PPL, private pilot license. I'm not commercial,
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I can't fly to Malaga and what have you.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Imagine if I was, like, the pilot...
0:10:55 > 0:10:57You've got such a good pilot's voice though.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Imagine me kind of going, "Hello, it's your captain speaking.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01"Don't eat the nuts, they're out of date."
0:11:01 > 0:11:04You wouldn't fly with me twice, would you, love?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Joe, what would you like to go for? This board's all yours,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09if you want to go through it and fill in all the blanks.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12It all depends on the age of the people that you've asked really,
0:11:12 > 0:11:15because if you go for North By Northwest, which is the bottom one,
0:11:15 > 0:11:18there'd be a lot of older people, because I'm a lot older than I look.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I think Monarch Of The Monarch Of The Beasts is probably
0:11:20 > 0:11:22The Lion King, so I'm going to go, if that's all right,
0:11:22 > 0:11:27for North By Northwest and hopefully you asked a lot of younger people.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30North by Northwest, says Joe. Let's see if it's right and how many of
0:11:30 > 0:11:31our 100 people said North By Northwest.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34It's right.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Down it goes to 34.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Very well done indeed.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43The lowest score of the round, Joe.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Well played, Joe.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46You did well on some of the others.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49You are right about Monarch Of The Monarchs of the beasts -
0:11:49 > 0:11:51it is The Lion King.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53That would have scored you 18 points.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Now, Today Is The End Of The World.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Apocalypse Now.- Apocalypse Now.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Yeah. That would have scored you 12.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01A Dozen Blokes With Steam Coming Out Of Their Ears.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- 12 Angry Men.- 27 points for that.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04And the career of John Culshaw.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- The Imitation Game. - The Imitation Game.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08Yeah. And that's the best answer out there.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- Five points. Well done if you said that.- Thank you very much, Richard.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14We're halfway through the round. Let's recap those scores.
0:12:14 > 0:12:1634, Joe, very well done, the best score of the pass.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Joe and Wendi looking strong contenders for Round Two.
0:12:19 > 0:12:2140 is where we find Duncan and Lesley.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22I think you'll be through to Round Two.
0:12:22 > 0:12:2654, Natasha and Keith. Looking very good.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Now, Faye and Bobby, you're on 100 at the moment.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Now, Bobby, how did you find that board? Did you know...?
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- I knew them all.- Did you? - I did, yes.- I thought you did.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36There was something about the way you were standing.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39It looked like you knew. Very subtly you knew.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Find a nice low score and it might keep you in the game.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43Really low score, that's what I'm after.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Very good. Best of luck. We'll come back down the line now.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:12:50 > 0:12:54OK, let's put seven more film title synonyms up on the board
0:12:54 > 0:12:56and here they are. We've got...
0:13:22 > 0:13:24I'm going to read those all again.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Now, then, Wendi... Welcome back to Pointless.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46Great to have you here again.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- Hello.- Now, Wendi, you do a lot of one-woman shows
0:13:49 > 0:13:50and obviously you do pantomime as well.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- It's sort of large ensembles. - I've done a few pantos, yes.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Which do you prefer?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Oh, pantomimes are always really good for the company spirit and for
0:13:57 > 0:14:00lots of audience participation, people shouting at me.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04But the concentration for the one-woman shows is something.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Two hours on stage on your own is hard.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- I know. And you carry it all up there, I suppose.- I do, yeah.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12So, yeah. Are you a bit of a control freak?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14You know me very well!
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- No, it's good fun.- Very good. Wendi, there you are on 34.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Great show from Joe on the first pass.
0:14:19 > 0:14:24100 is the high score, so 65 or less keeps you very much in the game.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27OK. Oh, it depends on who your audience is,
0:14:27 > 0:14:29who you are answering the questions with.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31I'm going to go for the top one.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Yeah. - And I think it's Sunset Boulevard.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Sunset Boulevard, says Wendi.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Here's your red line. If you get below this,
0:14:37 > 0:14:39you are straight through to Round Two.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45It's right.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47And you're through. Look at that.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- Well done.- Yes.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Oh, down it goes.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Oh, look at that! Wendi!
0:14:54 > 0:14:55Two!
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Takes your total to 36, the lowest score of the whole round -
0:14:58 > 0:15:00I can say that even at this stage.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- Wow.- There we are. Very well done indeed.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Well played, Wendi. Terrific answer.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Nominated for 11 Oscars and it won Oscar for Best Screenplay,
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- which is nice.- That is nice. - It's about a screenwriter.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11There we go. OK.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13OK. Now, Lesley, how did you manage
0:15:13 > 0:15:16to combine Strictly with your pantomime preparations?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I don't know, but then it was weird cos last year
0:15:19 > 0:15:21I was doing Birds Of A Feather, the whole series,
0:15:21 > 0:15:25and I was job-sharing with Craig Revel Horwood in Annie,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28so I was filming Birds in the week, and then on Saturdays,
0:15:28 > 0:15:30when he went to do Strictly Come Dancing,
0:15:30 > 0:15:32I would play Miss Hannigan for two shows.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36In fact, the first time I did Annie, I job-shared with Paul O'Grady.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Does that tell you anything about me?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41So...I'm sort of used to it.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44It's just the way work goes into our business, isn't it?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46It's either feast or famine and it's been feast.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47That is feast! And how nice,
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- you and Duncan together down in Plymouth.- I know,
0:15:50 > 0:15:53and it is a beautiful theatre, it is a fantastic theatre,
0:15:53 > 0:15:56and you have got the Barbican and this sea, and it is a great show.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- Heaven.- Lovely. Lovely. Anyway, there you are on 40.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Lovely low score from Duncan in the first pass.
0:16:01 > 0:16:0459 or less keeps you in the game.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08- Top one?- The 4th of July, Independence Day?
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Look, I'm holding this like this in case it's wrong.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- Is that a pantomime superstition? - Yeah.- Hold your sleeves?
0:16:16 > 0:16:17There is your red line.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20If you go below that, you are through to the next round.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Let's see how many of our 100 people said Independence Day.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27I bet it's high. Go on, go on, go on!
0:16:27 > 0:16:2970. No, that's fine.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33That is fine, takes your total up to 110.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35I think you've done enough there, Lesley and Duncan.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Will Smith's one of the few stars of that who didn't sign up for the
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- follow-up movie. - Thank you very much, Richard.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43- Now, then, Bobby.- Oh.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47The moment is with us. Bobby, you are playing Buttons.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48Have you ever not played Buttons?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50I have. I play lots of different roles,
0:16:50 > 0:16:54but Buttons is my favourite because it has a bit of pathos in it...
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- Yeah.- ..and I get to sing and do my funny impressions.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00It's good fun, I love it. I'm with Louie Spence this year.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- MIMICS LOUIE:- I've got to do Louie Spence,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04who kicks his legs like that. Ooh, it's lovely.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07He's going to have a little bit of the mickey taken out of him.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Louie's with you?- And Linda Robson, so it's going to be good.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- You'll have such a good time. - We'll have a great time.- Fabulous.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- Now, then.- I'm not going to have a great time now.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20It's going to have to be... Ideally you would be scoring nine or less.
0:17:20 > 0:17:26I know one of them. I'm going to have to go with Infuriated Cow
0:17:26 > 0:17:28and that is Raging Bull.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- Raging Bull, says Bobby.- Ahh!
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Now, did you hear that, Bobby?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34- They hadn't got it. - It won't bring me any comfort.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37There is your red line. Listen, maybe...
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Let's see how far down the column we get with Raging Bull.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Is it going to be enough to keep Bobby in the game?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47It's right.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- Keep going, keep going... - Still going down.
0:17:51 > 0:17:5229.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56It's a good score. But 129, that's a biggie.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Well played, Bobby, that is a very nice answer.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Put on four stone during the filming, De Niro.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Had to play the young LaMotta as a boxer
0:18:03 > 0:18:07and then the older LaMotta as a bigger man.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- Thanks very much indeed. Keith... - Wahey!
0:18:09 > 0:18:14Lovely to have you back. Now, you've been in this business since how old?
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Since I was ten, so it will be my 50th year coming up soon.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20That's something, isn't it?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22APPLAUSE
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- I'm still doing panto! - Still doing panto.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Can you remember how many pantos you've done?
0:18:27 > 0:18:28- Over 30.- Wow.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31And how early in the year do you get the call?
0:18:31 > 0:18:33By what month?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Years ago, it used to be sort of like May time, but now,
0:18:35 > 0:18:39as soon as you are doing panto, you get asked for the following year
0:18:39 > 0:18:41and the year after that.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- Fabulous.- So it's great.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49- You are on 54. If you can score 74 or less, you're in.- Don't.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Mandibles is easy because that's Jaws, but that will be quite high.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Men With Manners is the Russell Crowe movie that was out this year
0:18:56 > 0:18:58and I don't know what it is,
0:18:58 > 0:19:02so I'm going to have to go for the one at the bottom.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Like Herding Cats,
0:19:03 > 0:19:06it is Mission: Impossible, isn't it?
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- Mission: Impossible, there we are. - This could be a Mission: Impossible.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Let's see. There is your red line,
0:19:11 > 0:19:16let's see if we can get below that red line with Mission: Impossible.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17It's right.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18You've done it!
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Very well done, Keith.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Look at that, fine, room to spare!
0:19:22 > 0:19:2317.
0:19:23 > 0:19:29Gives you 71 as a total, seeing you through to the next round.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Well played, Keith. That's a very nice answer.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36Men With Manners was a great film from 2016 with Russell Crowe...
0:19:36 > 0:19:37The Nice Guys.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Really worth watching, as well, and would have scored you six.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Mandibles, you're quite right, is Jaws.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Doesn't score a huge amount, actually, 48.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- And Canines Of The Lake. - Reservoir Dogs.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- Oh!- Exactly.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54That has gone down well, hasn't it? That would have scored 13 points.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57The best answer on the board is Sunset Boulevard,
0:19:57 > 0:19:59so well done, Wendi, and well done if you got that at home.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Very good indeed. Thank you, Richard.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02At the end of our first round,
0:20:02 > 0:20:04the pair we have to send home with the high score of 129,
0:20:04 > 0:20:06that is not 600, Bobby.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- I've improved!- Marked improvement. - Marked improvement.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Come back and you will be winning the trophy!
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Lovely to see you. Lovely to have you here as well, Faye.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Thank you so much for coming to play.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Have a wonderful run with your pantomime and happy Christmas.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21And may I wish everyone a happy Christmas?
0:20:21 > 0:20:22Bobby and Faye!
0:20:22 > 0:20:25APPLAUSE
0:20:25 > 0:20:29But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Three pairs remain. At the end of this round, very sadly,
0:20:35 > 0:20:37we will have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39I don't know which pair it's going to be,
0:20:39 > 0:20:40but best of luck to all three pairs.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Our category for Round Two this evening is...
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first and second?
0:20:49 > 0:20:52And, whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57OK, and the question concerns...
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Richard.- We are about to show you 16 pictures
0:21:04 > 0:21:06on this board of famous puppets.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09We just need you to tell us the names of the puppets, please.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- That's nice, isn't it?- Nice.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12That is nice. Very nice.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16OK, so we are going to put an image up of 16 puppets.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19We won't be changing it halfway through the round.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Let's see who the puppets are.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25There we go. You just have to shout out the name of any puppet you see
0:21:25 > 0:21:27on that board.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Keith, what would you like to go for from our board of puppets?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- That's a really good board, isn't it?- Isn't it?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35It goes back to the past.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39I'm going to go for the duck.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41I'm going to say it's Edd the Duck.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42Edd the Duck, says Keith.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Let's see how many of our 100 people said Edd the Duck.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48He's right!
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Still going down.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Edd the Duck, look at that, finishing up on 20.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55Very well done indeed.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58I thought loads of people would get that.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- 20 for Edd the Duck. - Well played, Keith.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01Legend of children's TV.
0:22:01 > 0:22:07He was also the UK's official mascot at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- That's not true!- It is true.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11OK, Lesley.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14I've got a couple.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Look, the hands, I'm nervous.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19I'm going to go with the one under Edd the Duck, Andy Pandy.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Andy Pandy. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Andy Pandy.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27It's right.
0:22:27 > 0:22:3020 is the only score we have at the moment.
0:22:30 > 0:22:3158 for Andy Pandy.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33I'm really surprised. They must've
0:22:33 > 0:22:35been old people, then.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37First appeared in 1950, Andy Pandy.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39They brought it back in 2002.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Now, then, Joe.- Hello, Xander.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Joe, hello. Who would you like to go for?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49I know quite a lot of those, but I'm going to go for the third one down,
0:22:49 > 0:22:54the monkey on the third row, I think he is Topov from Pipkins.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57We've even got its pedigree!
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Topov from Pipkins.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- Yes!- Look at that.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Look at that, 20 is our low score at this point - it isn't any more.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16It's a pointless answer! It's a pointless answer.
0:23:16 > 0:23:22And that's £250 into the jackpot, takes the total up to £2,750.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25It scores you nothing and earns you our undying respect.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28That is extraordinary. Very well done indeed, Joe.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Some Pointless snow needed for that, I think. Very well played, Joe.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35- From the '70s and '80s, Pipkins, and that is great work.- Brilliant.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Lovely to have a pointless answer on the Christmas show, isn't it?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40We are halfway through the round.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Let's take a quick look at those scores.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43Nothing was the best score,
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Joe and Wendi once again looking like real swots.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Then up to 20, where we find Keith and Natasha, very good.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Keep it up and you'll be in the head-to-head.
0:23:52 > 0:23:5458, Lesley and Duncan. A bit edgy there, Duncan,
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- we need a low score from you.- Yeah. - OK, you know what we need.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59I hope you know your puppets.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01We'll come back down the line now.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:24:06 > 0:24:08OK, now, Wendi...
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- Yes.- What are you going to go for on this board?
0:24:10 > 0:24:15It is whether now I go for one I'm not certain but I think would be a
0:24:15 > 0:24:18low score, or whether I just go for one I know on there.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21I'm going to go for the puppet with the red hair
0:24:21 > 0:24:23and I'm going to say it's Jim from Rosie And Jim.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25- Yes!- Jim from Rosie And Jim.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Let's see if it's right. Here is your red line.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29If you get below that, you are through to the next round.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31How many people said Jim?
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Very well done indeed, it is Jim.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37You are in the head-to-head.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Scores 23. Very well done.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Your total is 23.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Rosie And Jim was about two rag dolls that came to life.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50That was absolutely squarely when my kids were little,
0:24:50 > 0:24:51when Rosie and Jim was on.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Thank you very much, Richard.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- Now, then, Duncan.- Yes.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58You are on 58. You are still our high-scorers.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01There are a few on there that I do know,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04but I'm going to go for Gordon the Gopher.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Gordon the Gopher, says Duncan.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09No red line for you because you are the highest scorer,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11but let's see how many people said Gordon the Gopher.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14It's right.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Still right.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19There it goes, 37.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Taking your total up to 95.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- I think we are going home, love!- You have given yourself a chance there,
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Duncan, well done. He had a famous leather jacket, Gordon the Gopher,
0:25:29 > 0:25:32he used to wear. Do you know who made that jacket and gave it to him?
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- Andi Peters?- No, it was Adam Ant.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- No!- No!- He was interviewed by him,
0:25:38 > 0:25:40took a liking to him and made him a leather jacket.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Wow, there you go.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45I did not know that.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47- Natasha.- Hello.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Now, then, we have a contest on our hands here.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53We need a score of 74 or less from you.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57OK. So on the top row we've got Sooty
0:25:57 > 0:26:01and is the next one Brains from Thunderbirds?
0:26:01 > 0:26:05And I'm not going to play it safe, so we may be out.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08The third along on the bottom row is Zig and Zag,
0:26:08 > 0:26:10so that Zig from Zig and Zag.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Oh, that's bold. It's 50/50!
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- I know! It's like, which one?! - There is your red line.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17If you get below that, you are through with Zig.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19That's a punchy call.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Zig from Zig and Zag, says Natasha.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25It is!
0:26:25 > 0:26:27And you're through.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31Oh, look at that!
0:26:31 > 0:26:34There is your reward.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Nine for Zig, taking your total up to 29.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Very well done indeed.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40That was very brave, wasn't it?
0:26:40 > 0:26:41That was really brave.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43So many people at home,
0:26:43 > 0:26:45you will have solved so many family arguments by going for that.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47People saying, "Is that Zig or is that Zag?"
0:26:47 > 0:26:49The wonderful Zig and Zag.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53On the top row, you have got Sweep - would have scored you 60.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Natasha, you're quite right about Brains, would have scored you 43.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Any guesses on the next one on the top row?
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Is it Howdy Doody?
0:27:00 > 0:27:01It is.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04That would have been your second pointless answer of the round, too.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Very well played.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08APPLAUSE
0:27:09 > 0:27:12The next row down, you have Flat Eric, 10 points.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Lamb Chop would have scored you 23.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17It is nice that this is the highest scorer on the board, this next one.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Orville with 67, the wonderful Orville.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23You have got Animal from The Muppets, would have scored you 43.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25There is Roland Rat for 54.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Monkey would have scored you 29 points.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31And the last one is another pointless answer,
0:27:31 > 0:27:33it's from the Conan O'Brien Show in the States,
0:27:33 > 0:27:35it is Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Very well done if you said that at home.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Thanks, Richard. At the end of our second round,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43the pair who are heading home with a high score of 95, I'm so sorry,
0:27:43 > 0:27:47- Duncan and Lesley.- Yay!- I say heading home, heading to Plymouth.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Duncan and Lesley, superb.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52APPLAUSE
0:27:52 > 0:27:55But, for the remaining two pairs, it is now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Congratulations, Joe and Wendi, Natasha and Keith,
0:28:01 > 0:28:04you are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our
0:28:04 > 0:28:08jackpot, which is now standing at £2,750.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13This is where we decide who goes through to the final and plays for
0:28:13 > 0:28:15that jackpot, and we do it by making you play head-to-head,
0:28:15 > 0:28:17but the nice news is you can start playing as a team.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19You can chat before you give your answers and
0:28:19 > 0:28:22the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Best of luck to both pairs for the head-to-head. Let us play it.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Here is your first question and it concerns...
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- Richard?- Yes, we are simply going to show you a list now of five singles
0:28:42 > 0:28:44that were number one at Christmas in various years.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47You just have to tell us which act recorded them, please.
0:28:47 > 0:28:48- Best of luck.- OK, now,
0:28:48 > 0:28:50instead of me reading out the questions from the board,
0:28:50 > 0:28:53I'm going to bring someone on who knows all about Christmas hits.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57Please, ladies and gentlemen, a big welcome for Shakin' Stevens.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59APPLAUSE
0:29:02 > 0:29:04- Shaky, how are you?- Nice to see you.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08Nice to have you here. Now, do you want to read out your clue?
0:29:08 > 0:29:12I took my glove off there. I don't know if I can do the Marigold trick.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15These are the number ones, yes?
0:29:15 > 0:29:17There we are.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Hallelujah, 2008.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Return To Sender, 1962.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Lonely This Christmas, 1974.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31A Bridge Over You, 2015.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Can We Fix It? 2000.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38There we are. There is a list of Christmas number ones.
0:29:38 > 0:29:39Do you think, if we ask Shaky very nicely,
0:29:39 > 0:29:41he might sing us out at the end of the show?
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Would you sing us your Christmas hit?
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- Absolutely.- Thank you very much. Shakin' Stevens, everybody!
0:29:46 > 0:29:49APPLAUSE
0:29:51 > 0:29:53There we are. I'm going to read those clues out for everybody again,
0:29:53 > 0:29:56one more time, so we can just put them up on the board.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Here are those clues, read slightly less impressively.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12We want to know who had hits with these Christmas number ones.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Joe and Wendi, you are our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:30:15 > 0:30:16The bottom one...
0:30:16 > 0:30:18It is the one we said.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- What,- 2000? Yes, let's live on the edge, shall we?
0:30:21 > 0:30:23- Do we live on the edge? - Are we sure it's them, though?
0:30:23 > 0:30:26- No, we're not sure. It's a risk, love.- Oh...
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Go for anyone.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34Can I just wish everybody at home a very happy Boxing Day?!
0:30:34 > 0:30:38- Happy New Year!- Top one, then?
0:30:38 > 0:30:402008, Alexandra Burke.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Alexandra Burke, say Joe and Wendi.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Now, Natasha and Keith, talk us through that board.
0:30:46 > 0:30:47Alexandra Burke, of course.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Return To Sender, Elvis Presley.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Lonely This Christmas, I reckon it could be...
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Mud. So shall we try it?
0:30:54 > 0:30:57- So we will go Lonely This Christmas, Mud.- Lonely This Christmas, Mud.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59I could be in it.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01We have Alexandra Burke and we have Mud.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04So, Joe and Wendi went for Alexandra Burke.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Let's see if that's right for Hallelujah 2008.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Let's see how many people said it.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12It is Alexandra Burke.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16That's lower than I thought.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18It's a good score. It's a very good score.
0:31:18 > 0:31:1922 for Alexandra Burke.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Joe hoping for something a little bit lower there.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26- KEITH:- That's a good score. - Can I ask, Joe and Wendi,
0:31:26 > 0:31:28what were you going to say for Lonely This Christmas?
0:31:28 > 0:31:30I said Mud, but...
0:31:30 > 0:31:31I thought maybe Showaddywaddy.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Let's find out.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Natasha and Keith have gone for Mud - Lonely This Christmas.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37Showaddywaddy. Oh, no!
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Let's see how mini people said it. Is it right?
0:31:42 > 0:31:44It is Mud!
0:31:44 > 0:31:45- What?- It is Mud.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52The twists and turns in this head-to-head!
0:31:52 > 0:31:5440 for Mud, very well done indeed, Joe and Wendi.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57That fell very nicely for you, Alexandra Burke was right,
0:31:57 > 0:31:59and you are up 1-0.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Yes, chose very well. There is an even bigger score up there,
0:32:02 > 0:32:05which is Elvis Presley, Return To Sender,
0:32:05 > 0:32:07that would have scored you 66 points.
0:32:07 > 0:32:08Now, Can We Fix It?
0:32:08 > 0:32:11I think both teams thought it was Bob The Builder, it wasn't.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- It was Sepp Blatter. - Of course it was!
0:32:14 > 0:32:16LAUGHTER
0:32:16 > 0:32:20- No, he can't!- It wasn't really, it was Bob The Builder.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21That would have scored you 58.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24And the best answer, even though it was a very recent one,
0:32:24 > 0:32:27in fact, it was last year's Christmas number one,
0:32:27 > 0:32:28A Bridge Over You,
0:32:28 > 0:32:30you remember it was the Lewisham And Greenwich NHS Choir.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32- Ah!- Oh!
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Three points for that and that was the one where they were having a
0:32:34 > 0:32:36battle against Justin Bieber,
0:32:36 > 0:32:38one of them was going to be Christmas number one.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Justin Bieber tweeted and said, "Go out and buy that one,
0:32:40 > 0:32:43"don't buy my record. It is only one week and this is going to charity,
0:32:43 > 0:32:46"so I think you should make that Christmas number one."
0:32:46 > 0:32:47That was a nice thing to do.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49OK, here comes your second question.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Natasha and Keith, we need you back in the game.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53You have to win this and you get to answer it first,
0:32:53 > 0:32:55which is a slight advantage, I hope.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Our second question today is all about...
0:33:01 > 0:33:02What?!
0:33:03 > 0:33:06We are now going to play you five excerpts from songs
0:33:06 > 0:33:09which were number two at Christmas.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13We need you to tell us the artists who had number twos with the songs.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Thank you very much indeed.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19OK, let's have a listen to our five number twos.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Here they come. We have got...
0:33:21 > 0:33:22A.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27# Young man
0:33:27 > 0:33:29# There's no need to feel down
0:33:29 > 0:33:30# I said, young man
0:33:30 > 0:33:33# Pick yourself off the ground
0:33:33 > 0:33:35# I said, young man
0:33:35 > 0:33:37# Cos you're in a new town
0:33:37 > 0:33:41# There's no need to be unhappy. #
0:33:41 > 0:33:44OK, this is B.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47# I remember one Christmas morning
0:33:47 > 0:33:51# A winters light and a distant choir
0:33:51 > 0:33:55# And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell
0:33:55 > 0:33:59# And their eyes full of tinsel and fire. #
0:34:01 > 0:34:02This is C.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05# Sinatra was swinging
0:34:05 > 0:34:06# All the drunks they were singing
0:34:06 > 0:34:08# We kissed on a corner
0:34:08 > 0:34:09# Then danced through the night
0:34:09 > 0:34:12# The boys of the NYPD choir
0:34:12 > 0:34:14# Were singing Galway Bay
0:34:14 > 0:34:17# And the bells were ringing out
0:34:17 > 0:34:19# For Christmas Day. #
0:34:22 > 0:34:23This is D.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28# She looked at me with big brown eyes and said
0:34:28 > 0:34:31# You ain't seen nothin' yet
0:34:31 > 0:34:35# B-b-b-baby, you just ain't seen n-n-nothin' yet
0:34:35 > 0:34:39# Here's something that you never gonna forget
0:34:39 > 0:34:43# B-b-b-baby, you just ain't seen n-n-nothin' yet. #
0:34:43 > 0:34:45And this is E.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49# Last Christmas I gave you my heart
0:34:49 > 0:34:52# But the very next day
0:34:52 > 0:34:54# You gave it away
0:34:54 > 0:34:58# This year, to save me from tears
0:34:58 > 0:35:02# I'll give it to someone special. #
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Lovely. OK, so, Natasha and Keith, we come to you first.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09The three we know were really commercial, so we are kind of stuck,
0:35:09 > 0:35:12- but...- OK.- ..I think we are going to go with C -
0:35:12 > 0:35:13The Pogues.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15The Pogues, say Natasha and Keith.
0:35:15 > 0:35:16The Pogues for C.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20Now, Joe and Wendi, do you want to talk us through the others?
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- A is definitely YMCA by The Village People.- Yeah.
0:35:23 > 0:35:29And E is Last Christmas, Wham!
0:35:29 > 0:35:31I think we just go for E, then,
0:35:31 > 0:35:34because we are on a hiding to nothing here, really, aren't we?
0:35:34 > 0:35:35We will go for E, Wham!.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37OK, E, Wham!.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41So, we have got C, The Pogues, and we have got E, Wham!.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43So, Natasha and Keith said The Pogues for C.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people got it.
0:35:51 > 0:35:52It is The Pogues.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54There we are, 49 for The Pogues.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01And, meanwhile, Joe and Wendi have gone for Wham! for E.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Let's see how many of our 100 people said Wham!.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08It's right.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10It's close. Oh, look at that!
0:36:12 > 0:36:1539 for Wham!
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Wow, there is a sign of the times.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19Joe and Wendi, very well done.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21That means, after only two questions,
0:36:21 > 0:36:23you are through to the final 2-0. Well done. Very well done.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27The Pogues were the biggest answer of all, actually, on the board.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Shall we fill in the rest of these?
0:36:29 > 0:36:34A, I think everybody knew, The Village People, YMCA,
0:36:34 > 0:36:37would have scored you 35 points.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39- Another lowish score.- What?!- No!
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Now the second one, you are right, everybody knows the song,
0:36:42 > 0:36:44but who's it by?
0:36:44 > 0:36:47It is by Greg Lake
0:36:47 > 0:36:49from Emerson, Lake and Palmer.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Well done if you said that.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55He has got a much older voice than a face, hasn't he?
0:36:55 > 0:36:58He was a cool-looking dude, wasn't he?
0:36:58 > 0:37:02And D, again, it is a song that everybody knows, but who's it by?
0:37:02 > 0:37:07You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet by Bachman-Turner Overdrive.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09- Goodness me.- 17 points for that.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round
0:37:12 > 0:37:15are Natasha and Keith. I'm so sorry. Do you want to stay?
0:37:15 > 0:37:16It's just nice having you here.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19We have to stay in here in the warm!
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Would one of you like to volunteer?
0:37:21 > 0:37:24Poor Xander hasn't had any snow for the whole show,
0:37:24 > 0:37:26but I've got two levers here.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29I've been using the black lever for me and there's a red lever as well.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31- I knew...- Would one of you like to pull the lever
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- and give Xander some snow? - You can.- She's got high heels on.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Her feet are bit sore.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39- You've just got lifts. - LAUGHTER
0:37:39 > 0:37:40So, this one, then, Keith.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42When you're sitting down, I'm nearly your height!
0:37:42 > 0:37:45I know, right?
0:37:45 > 0:37:49So, especially from me to you, here's your Christmas snow.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51There's no business like snow business.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Oh, no!
0:37:54 > 0:37:55APPLAUSE
0:37:55 > 0:37:57- Thank you, Keith.- My pleasure.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07- There you go.- That is lovely, thank you for that(!)
0:38:07 > 0:38:10This is great, as well, because now I know what you are going to look
0:38:10 > 0:38:12like in 30 years' time.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Excellent. Thank you very much indeed.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18Natasha and Keith, lovely to have you, thank you so much for playing.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Natasha and Keith. APPLAUSE
0:38:20 > 0:38:22- Well done.- Yeah, well done.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28But, for Joe and Wendi, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Congratulations, Joe and Wendi, who have fought off all the festive
0:38:35 > 0:38:39competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47- Thank you.- You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot for
0:38:47 > 0:38:50your charities and, at the end of today's show,
0:38:50 > 0:38:52the jackpot is standing at £2,750.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55APPLAUSE
0:38:55 > 0:38:58This is entirely meet and right that you are here,
0:38:58 > 0:39:01playing for this jackpot, because you have contributed to it,
0:39:01 > 0:39:03we had a pointless answer from you, Joe.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05We've have had lovely low scores.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07Let's hope there's something up here you like look of.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11Today's board has four categories on, as usual, and the four are...
0:39:20 > 0:39:22I'm quite intrigued by the TFL train stations.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24I have no intrigue there whatsoever, love.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27But if you want to busk it, you might be on your own.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Let's go with the good films.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32OK, we are going to go with British comedy films, please, Xander.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34- Thank you.- OK, British comedy films it is.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36- Richard.- Very best of luck. Three great films here.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38We are looking for cast members of any of the
0:39:38 > 0:39:40following three films, please.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42All Richard Curtis movies, in one way or another.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45We are looking for any cast members of Notting Hill,
0:39:45 > 0:39:47any cast members of About Time,
0:39:47 > 0:39:50or any cast members of The Boat That Rocked.
0:39:50 > 0:39:51According to IMDB,
0:39:51 > 0:39:55anyone who was credited as appearing in any of those three films.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58We wish you all the very best of Christmas luck.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Thank you very much indeed. As always, you have got up to
0:40:00 > 0:40:02one minute to come up with three answers
0:40:02 > 0:40:05and all you need to win the jackpot is for just one of those answers to
0:40:05 > 0:40:07be pointless. Are you ready?
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Yes, I think we are.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12As ready as we are ever going to be, isn't it, really?
0:40:12 > 0:40:14OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16There they are. Your time starts now.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20OK, Notting Hill. Julia Roberts, Iwan Rhys.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22- Is that his name?- I think so.
0:40:22 > 0:40:23Bill Nighy was in...
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- He's in all of them. - Is he in all of those?
0:40:26 > 0:40:27About Time, I watched it the other week,
0:40:27 > 0:40:29- and I'm trying to think who was in it.- The ginger guy,
0:40:29 > 0:40:32his dad is a very famous actor as well, he's Irish.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34- His name...- Ginger guy, Irish.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37The Boat That Rocked, that's the radio one.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41- I don't know.- All we've got is Bill Nighy at the moment.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45And he's not going to be a pointless answer.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47The Boat That Rocked...
0:40:47 > 0:40:49I've seen it.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Jack Black? No, he's not in that.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54British film, it's the...
0:40:56 > 0:40:58This is harder than it looks,
0:40:58 > 0:41:00especially with 17 seconds to go!
0:41:00 > 0:41:01Oh, no!
0:41:01 > 0:41:04I'm trying to think of the guy's name, the ginger guy.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07- Ten seconds left.- He's in the new Star Wars film, as well,
0:41:07 > 0:41:10- and his name is... - Is Ewan McGregor in any of them?
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Ewan McGregor?
0:41:12 > 0:41:14No, I do think he is, no.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16The Boat That Rocked...
0:41:16 > 0:41:18OK, now, pressure off.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Pressure off because your minute is now up.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25Just take a very deep breath, a nice deep breath.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27What are your answers going to be?
0:41:27 > 0:41:29- We are going to go for... - Katherine Parkinson,
0:41:29 > 0:41:33and I think she's in The Boat That Rocked.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36Julia Roberts, obviously, in Notting Hill.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38And Iwan Rhys, we are not certain that is the surname.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40I'm not certain now you've said that,
0:41:40 > 0:41:43but Iwan Rhys, we think he was in Notting Hill, the blonde guy.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46OK, Iwan Rhys. So we have got Iwan Rhys,
0:41:46 > 0:41:49we've got Katherine Parkinson and we've got Julia Roberts.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:41:52 > 0:41:53- Katherine...- Katherine Parkinson.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56OK, we'll put Katherine last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:41:56 > 0:41:58- Julia Roberts. - OK, Iwan Rhys in the middle?
0:41:58 > 0:42:02- Yes.- OK, let's put those answers up on the board in that order
0:42:02 > 0:42:05and here they are. We have got
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Julia Roberts, Iwan Rhys and Katherine Parkinson.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Well, one good answer up there.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12LAUGHTER
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Do you know? I reckon there is one answer up there that could just be
0:42:15 > 0:42:17pointless. If it were to be pointless and wins you that jackpot
0:42:17 > 0:42:20for your charities, which charities will you be giving it to?
0:42:20 > 0:42:21Joe, I am going to ask you first.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23I am going to the giving it to Diabetes UK
0:42:23 > 0:42:27and I have just remembered his name is Rhys Ifans, it's not Iwan Rhys.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30- It's the other way round. Too late now.- Oh, well.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34- Wendi.- I'm going to go for When You Wish Upon A Star in Manchester,
0:42:34 > 0:42:36which grants wishes for terminally ill children.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Wonderful.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40APPLAUSE
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Two fabulous charities. Let's hope one of these answers is pointless.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50Julia Roberts is your first answer. I wonder if this will be pointless.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52We were wondering if she was in Notting Hill.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Julia Roberts. If it's pointless,
0:42:54 > 0:42:57it will win you £2,750.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Let's see how many people said Julia Roberts.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Well, it's right, which is good.
0:43:04 > 0:43:05Down we go.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Julia Roberts takes us down through the 50s.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09We are into the 40s.
0:43:09 > 0:43:1041.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12- Lower than I thought.- Absolutely.
0:43:12 > 0:43:1441, not bad.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16It's looking very good.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Your next answer, also from the cast of Notting Hill,
0:43:18 > 0:43:21we have gone for Iwan Rhys.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23I bet there is an actor called Iwan Rhys.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26We've got it the wrong way round. It is Rhys Ifans,
0:43:26 > 0:43:28I think his name is. I might be wrong.
0:43:28 > 0:43:32Let's find out. Is Iwan Rhys in Notting Hill and is it pointless?
0:43:32 > 0:43:35It will win you £2,750 for your charities if it is.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39No, bad luck.
0:43:39 > 0:43:42Sorry, an incorrect answer there, for the reason I think you know.
0:43:42 > 0:43:44But you have one more answer on the board.
0:43:44 > 0:43:46I like the sound of this answer -
0:43:46 > 0:43:48Katherine Parkinson. And in this case,
0:43:48 > 0:43:51we were looking for cast members of The Boat That Rocked.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53If it's pointless, if it's right,
0:43:53 > 0:43:56it will win you £2,750 for your charities.
0:43:56 > 0:44:00Let's find out what happens when we say Katherine Parkinson.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05- She's in it.- She's in it!
0:44:05 > 0:44:08Julia Roberts was quite a high score, took us down to 41.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10Iwan Rhys was incorrect.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13Katherine Parkinson takes us into single figures,
0:44:13 > 0:44:15down we go, still going down!
0:44:15 > 0:44:17CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:44:20 > 0:44:23Very well done. Fantastic.
0:44:25 > 0:44:27We did it!
0:44:27 > 0:44:29What about that?! Fantastic!
0:44:29 > 0:44:31Katherine Parkinson was a pointless answer,
0:44:31 > 0:44:34which means you go away with that jackpot of £2,750
0:44:34 > 0:44:36for your charities! Superb!
0:44:36 > 0:44:38CHEERING
0:44:38 > 0:44:40Merry Christmas!
0:44:40 > 0:44:42Amazing, very, very well done.
0:44:42 > 0:44:44Yes, it is Rhys Ifans rather than Iwan Rhys.
0:44:44 > 0:44:48He would have scored you 14 points, so it doesn't matter anyway.
0:44:48 > 0:44:52Now, the gentleman you are thinking of, he is ginger-haired,
0:44:52 > 0:44:55his father is an actor, he is in Star Wars, he is in loads of things,
0:44:55 > 0:44:57he is going to be an enormous star.
0:44:57 > 0:45:00His father is Brendan Gleeson and he is Domhnall Gleeson,
0:45:00 > 0:45:02and he would have scored you two points.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04So, there you go.
0:45:04 > 0:45:07Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:45:07 > 0:45:09Maybe a bit of snow while we do.
0:45:10 > 0:45:11We will start with...
0:45:11 > 0:45:13This is nicer than yours!
0:45:13 > 0:45:15We'll start with Notting Hill.
0:45:18 > 0:45:19Loads of pointless answers there.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22Emma Chambers, Sanjeev Bhaskar, everyone apart from Hugh Grant,
0:45:22 > 0:45:24Julia Roberts, Rhys Ifans, Clarke Peters,
0:45:24 > 0:45:26Dylan Moore and Emily Mortimer and Hugh Bonneville.
0:45:26 > 0:45:28It is getting hard to read now.
0:45:28 > 0:45:31About Time now.
0:45:36 > 0:45:40And for The Boat That Rocked, a familiar name here...
0:45:40 > 0:45:44Chris O'Dowd, Katherine Parkinson's co-star in the IT Crowd.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47Kenneth Branagh and January Jones are pointless answers.
0:45:47 > 0:45:50Everyone pointless in that apart from Bill Nighy, Nick Frost,
0:45:50 > 0:45:51Rhys Ifans again, Tallulah Riley,
0:45:51 > 0:45:53Emma Thompson and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55Very well done if you got any of those at home,
0:45:55 > 0:45:58and Merry Christmas to you as well, and congratulations in the studio.
0:45:58 > 0:46:00What a wonderful way to end our Christmas special.
0:46:00 > 0:46:02Isn't that lovely? Thank you so much, Richard.
0:46:02 > 0:46:06And thank you so much, Joe and Wendi, our winning players,
0:46:06 > 0:46:09who go away with today's jackpot of £2,750 for their charities.
0:46:09 > 0:46:10Well done.
0:46:10 > 0:46:11APPLAUSE

0:46:15 > 0:46:17putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19Meanwhile, it's happy Christmas from Richard.
0:46:19 > 0:46:22- Happy Christmas.- And it's happy Christmas from me. But before we go,
