0:00:15 > 0:00:19APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and a very warm welcome
0:00:26 > 0:00:29to this special Radio 2 edition of Pointless Celebrities.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the show where all the questions have been asked
0:00:31 > 0:00:33to 100 people before the show.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35All our celebrities have to do is come up with the answers
0:00:35 > 0:00:37those 100 people couldn't think of.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42APPLAUSE
0:00:44 > 0:00:46- Couple number one.- I'm Anneka Rice
0:00:46 > 0:00:51and I present the weekend breakfast show on a Saturday on Radio 2.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52And I'm Ken Bruce.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55I ask difficult questions in PopMaster every day
0:00:55 > 0:00:57but I can't answer any questions!
0:00:57 > 0:01:01APPLAUSE
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Couple number two.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Craig Charles and I present the House Party
0:01:06 > 0:01:07on Radio 2 on a Saturday night.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11And I'm Vanessa Feltz and I'm the early bird on Radio 2.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14At some point, I hope to catch a worm.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16APPLAUSE
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Couple number three.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Hi, I'm Jeremy Vine and I present the kind of news show at midday
0:01:23 > 0:01:26and do some graphics for BBC elections.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29I'm Jo Whiley and I'm for the night shift workers.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31I play records on the radio.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34APPLAUSE
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- And, finally, couple number four. - I'm Michael Ball.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40I present a show on a Sunday.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42I'm here to tell you that "love changes everything"
0:01:42 > 0:01:45and that this is my mother, Zoe.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Yes, hello, I'm Zoe Ball, mother of two
0:01:48 > 0:01:52and occasional host of PopMaster, when Mr Ken Bruce is away
0:01:52 > 0:01:55and yes, I know I'm not really very good at it.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58And also, I sometimes get involved in dancing.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01APPLAUSE
0:02:01 > 0:02:02Thanks very much, all of you.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05We'll get to chat to each of you through the show as it goes along.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce -
0:02:08 > 0:02:11a man who's capable of a short wave AND a long wave,
0:02:11 > 0:02:12depending on what kind of mood he's in,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Hiya. Hey, everybody. - APPLAUSE
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Good evening. Well, good evening to you.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22Well, good evening.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25I have to say this is about as close to my perfect line-up
0:02:25 > 0:02:26- as you could possibly get.- Yeah.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Some of the loveliest people you could imagine on today's show.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30If I'm being super picky,
0:02:30 > 0:02:33I'd like Jedward to be here as well but they're not.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36We've got a lovely pair of Balls on podium four though, so that's nice.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Now, the most competitive show we've ever had
0:02:38 > 0:02:40was the Radio 1 special,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- cos they all worked in the same building next to each other.- Mm.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- I suspect we might see something similar today.- I think we may.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49I should point out, though, competitive though it will be,
0:02:49 > 0:02:51that podium two is going to be difficult to beat.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Vanessa and Craig have both been on the show before
0:02:53 > 0:02:55and have both got through to the jackpot round.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Vanessa's won the jackpot as well. - Fix!- Ooh!
0:02:58 > 0:03:02They are going to be pretty strong, I think.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04There we are. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07All of today's questions have been asked to 100 people before the show.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Our contestants are hoping to find one of those pointless answers,
0:03:10 > 0:03:13an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Find one of those and we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18As today's show is a celebrity special,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24we are going to start off with a jackpot of £2,500. There we are.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27APPLAUSE
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33APPLAUSE
0:03:35 > 0:03:37The only rule you have to remember is this.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39The pair with the highest score
0:03:39 > 0:03:42at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Our first category this evening is...
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- Ooh!- No pressure!- Popular Music. Can you all decide in your pairs...
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Michael Ball already looking worried.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58..which of you is going to go first, which is going to go second.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07OK, and the question concerns...
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Richard.- In a moment, Xander's going to show you
0:04:13 > 0:04:16the name of six artists and we are looking for
0:04:16 > 0:04:19any UK number one single by any of those artists, please,
0:04:19 > 0:04:21according to officialcharts.com.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24OK, we're going to put those six artists up on the board
0:04:24 > 0:04:26and they'll stay up there for the whole round.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30You just have to throw out the name of any song
0:04:30 > 0:04:33that has been a number one hit for any of these artists.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36HE SIGHS I'm nervous.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Let's see who those artists are. We have got...
0:04:52 > 0:04:57- Anneka.- Oh!- Anneka, welcome back to Pointless.- It's lovely to see you.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01I gather you're revisiting Challenge Anneka, you're catching up.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04We're catching up, because the over 60 projects we did,
0:05:04 > 0:05:08well, some are celebrating their 25th anniversary this year,
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- some their 21st, cos it went on for many years.- Yeah.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14So, I'm going round the whole country, revisiting...
0:05:14 > 0:05:16That must be so rewarding.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19I've been off to Romania, soup kitchens in London.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23The projects are so varied and they're all going strong,
0:05:23 > 0:05:25so it's a lovely thing to do.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27And, of course, on The Archers, recently...
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Because 23 years ago, I did up their village hall,
0:05:31 > 0:05:36- they asked me back over Easter to reopen it again.- Fantastic!
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Highlight of my life, frankly! The rest is nothing.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Now, back to reality here, Anneka. - OK.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47What about these artists and their number one singles?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I'm just going to go for Robbie Williams and Millennium.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Millennium, says Anneka. Let's see if that's right
0:05:53 > 0:05:56and how many of our 100 people said Millennium.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59It's right.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Ooh.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- It's not bad.- Oh!
0:06:05 > 0:06:08There we are. 19. APPLAUSE
0:06:08 > 0:06:10A good start to the round and for the show.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Yeah, tough on that first podium.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15That was a number one in 1998, confusingly.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- It's a little bit early, isn't it? - A little bit previous there.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- A little bit, isn't it?- Yeah.- Yeah. - Thank you very much.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25- Vanessa, welcome back.- Yes, hello. - Welcome back. Vanessa, your show...
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- You're on at five, I think. - That's right.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32You're there at five, you look at the papers, you do a round-up,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35and then you walk over to BBC London...
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Yes, I waddle fast to another building, yes.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39But then, presumably,
0:06:39 > 0:06:43the show you do on Radio 2 is your warm-up for BBC London.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Don't tell anyone at Radio 2 that, for goodness' sake! No, far from it!
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- That's just what it sounds like. - How rude!
0:06:50 > 0:06:54That's quite handy cos you'll have done all the newspaper work.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55It's a different kind of show.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58The Radio 2 show is a lovely, cosy good morning show
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- and the other one, on BBC Radio London, is hard news.- Oh, it is!
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Very different sort of show.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- You have to land on every issue running, don't you?- That's right.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08You have to have opinions.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Do you sometimes, just for the fun of it, think,
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- "I'm fairly easygoing on this one..."?- Never! Never!- OK.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- You don't think, "I'd better up the vinegar on this"?- Certainly not, no.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23Quite right. Now, Vanessa, what would you like to go for?
0:07:23 > 0:07:28Well, I thought I might try Elton John and Daniel.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33Daniel, says Vanessa. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Daniel.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Oh, no!- Oh! Oh!
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Oh, dear! - That is an incorrect answer.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Scores you 100 points.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Yeah, not a number one single, I'm afraid, Daniel.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47It may not be the last 100 points of the round, I suspect.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49It's wrong for the right reasons,
0:07:49 > 0:07:52though, Vanessa. Jo, welcome.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- Hi.- Lovely to have you here.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00- You started at Radio 1 in, sort of, early '90s, mid '90s?- Yeah.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- Sort of '92.- '92, '93, yeah.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06There you are, breaking new acts still, aren't you?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Yeah.- You're doing a sort of John Peel job on Radio 2 now.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Yeah, I was doing the Evening Session at 1
0:08:11 > 0:08:13and now I'm kind of doing an evening session at Radio 2,
0:08:13 > 0:08:16so, we have loads of concerts, the likes of Ed Sheeran, a-ha...
0:08:16 > 0:08:21- It's a varied palate that I have. - But still, not a duff flavour on it.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- All you're hearing is a-ha, you're happy.- Yeah.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27It could be 24-hour a-ha and he'd be over the moon.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31It seems to have been the best thing I've done at Radio 2, apparently.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34There you go. Now, Jo, what would you like to go for?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Can I just say commiserations to Craig and Vanessa?
0:08:37 > 0:08:38I'd just like to put that out there.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Not that we're competitive at all in any way(!)
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- No, we were quietly upset. - Now watch me sink here.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47I'm going to go with Eminem and I'm going to say Stan.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Stan.- Yeah.- Stan.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52A little bit of agitation on podium four there.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54I think you might have nicked someone's answer there,
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- but there we are. Stan. - Really well done, Jo.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Stan.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- It's right.- Phew!- 100 was our high score, 19 is our low.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08You passed the high score at the beginning of the round.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- You pass the low.- Whoa! - There we are.
0:09:11 > 0:09:1414, very well done indeed, Jo. APPLAUSE
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Very well played, Jo. From 2000, that was.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21The one that samples Dido in it as well.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Michael, welcome.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- Yes.- Now, there you are, Sunday morning.- Yeah.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Prestigious flagship show. - It's a lovely, lovely, lovely show.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34It's, for me, the best time of the week and the best show of the week.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- Wonderful.- No disrespect, guys.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39That is lovely, and to take over from Sir Terry as well.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Yes, taking over in such sad circumstances
0:09:41 > 0:09:44and not expected at all. A real honour.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47I adored the man, I adored the bones of him
0:09:47 > 0:09:51and so, to be able to sit in his seat is a real privilege.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Wonderful, and I imagine you get a lot of support from the TOGs
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- as well.- Yeah, yeah. None from these guys, obviously.- No, no.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59LAUGHTER
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- Well, very best of luck with that, Michael.- Thank you.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- What would you like to go for? - Right...
0:10:06 > 0:10:11Cos someone stole my answer, I'm going to go for Robbie Williams
0:10:11 > 0:10:13and Something Stupid, which he did with Nicole Kidman.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15OK, let's see if that's right
0:10:15 > 0:10:18and how many of our 100 people went for Something Stupid.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Oh, it's not going to, is it?
0:10:21 > 0:10:22It's right. It is, it is.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Well, 19 - sorry - 14 is our low score.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Oh, and look at that!
0:10:30 > 0:10:33CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:10:33 > 0:10:351, Michael, 1!
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- Very well done indeed. - No, really,
0:10:39 > 0:10:40I'm very relaxed about that.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43So, by stealing your original answer,
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- actually, Jo did you an enormous favour.- Fabulous!
0:10:46 > 0:10:51Not competitive at all(!) Yeah, it was Christmas number one, that song.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53The Christmas number one the previous year was
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- Can We Fix It by Bob The Builder. Just so you know.- There we are.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:59 > 0:11:031, Michael Ball, the best, the best answer of the round
0:11:03 > 0:11:07by a margin, in fact. Very well done.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08Then we travel up to 14,
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Jo and Jeremy.
0:11:10 > 0:11:1219's where we find Anneka and Ken.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14And then...well, Vanessa and Craig.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Craig, a low score from you, you never know,
0:11:16 > 0:11:18might keep you in the game.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Anything could happen.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:27 > 0:11:28OK, Zoe.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Oh, yes, hello.- Welcome. Lovely to have you here.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Zoe, you've worked at Radio 1 and Radio 2.- Yeah.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37What would you say is the difference? Is there a difference?
0:11:37 > 0:11:42Well, I actually grew up listening to more of Radio 2 than Radio 1,
0:11:42 > 0:11:46I have to say. I loved all the shows on Sundays,
0:11:46 > 0:11:48I loved all the kind of...
0:11:48 > 0:11:53I grew up with Terry Wogan at breakfast time, so I kind of,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56I was never very cool, but I always thought I was quite cool,
0:11:56 > 0:12:00so I kind of feel like I've come home, in a way, actually.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01But I guess, Radio 2...
0:12:01 > 0:12:04I love the fact that younger people listen to Radio 2 as well.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- I do listen to a bit of Radio 1. - Yeah.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Occasionally, it's a bit grrr, frenetic for me,
0:12:10 > 0:12:13but I love a bit of grime. Doesn't everybody?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15So, I do have a little switch between the two.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18There we are. Listen, Zoe, you're on 1.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20The high-scorers are Craig and Vanessa on 100.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25So, 98 or less definitely sees you through to the next round.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28I think I'm going to go with Elton John,
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Song For Guy.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- Song For Guy.- Yeah.- Oh!
0:12:32 > 0:12:35There is your red line. If you can get below that red line,
0:12:35 > 0:12:37you're through to the next round.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Let's see how many people said Song For Guy.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- Oh, no!- Oh, gosh!
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- Was it number two?- Was it number two?- OK, there we are.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48100 is what that scores.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- Takes your total up to 101. - I'm so sorry.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54You might still be in the game.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- Oh, gosh!- 101 is your total though.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58The big question here is,
0:12:58 > 0:13:00what on Earth has Elton John been playing at?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02LAUGHTER
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Thanks very much indeed. Jeremy, welcome to Pointless.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Thank you so much. - Great to have you here.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Let's just talk a bit about your brilliant show.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12You took over from Jimmy Young how long ago?
0:13:12 > 0:13:152003, January 6th.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19I totted it up recently and it's 13 years, actually.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21That is extraordinary.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24And I think it's the best job in the BBC, notwithstanding all of the fun
0:13:24 > 0:13:26that my colleagues have described. I really love it.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28It's an extraordinary programme.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31He got the ball rolling fantastically,
0:13:31 > 0:13:33but you have made it your own
0:13:33 > 0:13:36and, unsurprisingly, it's more popular than the Today programme,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- for example.- Well...- The sort of flagship news programme on Radio 4.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41You didn't say that on the Radio 4 special.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45On the Radio 4 special, there was about 20 minutes of,
0:13:45 > 0:13:47"Oh, Jeremy Vine..."
0:13:47 > 0:13:49LAUGHTER
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Well, the craziness of being able to interview the Prime Minister
0:13:52 > 0:13:55and then say, "Have you ever been pecked in the eye by a gannet?"
0:13:55 > 0:13:58But it is that extraordinary... It's the perfect magazine programme.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01It manages to be very light-hearted at the same time as being...
0:14:01 > 0:14:05- That's very kind.- It deals with all the major stories. Brilliant.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- Thank you.- Absolutely fantastic.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Now then, Jeremy, talking about major stories,
0:14:09 > 0:14:11what are you going to go for here?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14The high-scorers are behind you, 101. You're on 14.
0:14:14 > 0:14:1886 is your target, 86 or less.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Yeah, I think I'm going to go for Kylie Minogue,
0:14:21 > 0:14:25- Spinning Around.- Spinning Around. Here is your red line.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Get below that with Spinning Around, you're into the next round.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30How many of our 100 people said it?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- It's right and you're through. Very well done indeed.- Oh, that's good.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Oh, that's good. Come on! Go down.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Perfectly good. 10 for Spinning Around.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44APPLAUSE Takes your total up to 24,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47which I suspect might be the lowest total of the round. We'll see.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Very well played. Number one in 2000.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- Kylie Minogue really showing Elton John the way to go, isn't she?- Yeah.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57- Thank you very much. Craig.- Hi. - Welcome. The newest member
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- of the Radio 2 line-up there.- Yeah. - Fantastic.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02And the House Party.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05I'm kind of Mr Saturday night now. I do six till nine on 6 Music
0:15:05 > 0:15:08have an hour off, then I do ten till midnight on Radio 2.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11So, you're like Vanessa. You tiptoe across
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- from one studio to the next.- We do it from the same studio, though,
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- which is good.- Clever. - We just change the frequency.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18LAUGHTER
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Tell me about House Party. You only started recently, didn't you?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23It's basically a continuation of the Funk And Soul Show.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26I just play all my favourite records.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Funk and soul and northern soul is your thing, isn't it?
0:15:28 > 0:15:29That kind of stuff.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32And you can just make up your playlist as you...
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Yeah, no-one tells me what to play, which is really good.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37It's a great feeling cos it is just like being round at your house,
0:15:37 > 0:15:40sticking your favourite records on and talking nonsense,
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- and I thought, "Well, I'm your man." - Fantastic.
0:15:43 > 0:15:48OK, now, Craig, you really need a pointless answer at this point.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- I know.- That's what we're... MICHAEL:- No, he doesn't.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52LAUGHTER
0:15:52 > 0:15:54I think you... I bet you've got one.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Shall we stay with Kylie Minogue and go for Can't Get You Out Of My Head?
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- Was that a number one? - OK, Can't Get You Out Of My Head,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03says Craig. It wants to be pointless,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06which means there is going to be a red line there
0:16:06 > 0:16:08but it won't be visible to you.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10LAUGHTER
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Can't Get You Out Of My Head - how many people said it?
0:16:15 > 0:16:16Oh!
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- Not bad. Sorry about that.- 18.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30- Ah, well.- Well, 118 is your total.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35- There is a scenario in which you could still survive.- Yeah.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- It's all in Mr Bruce's hands. - Number one from 2001.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40It was released in the same week as a Victoria Beckham single
0:16:40 > 0:16:43and they had that sort of Blur v Oasis, who's going to be number one?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46And it was Kylie and Victoria Beckham got to number six.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49Oh, dear. There you are.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54Ken, a very warm welcome. How long have you been at Radio 2?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Oh, only a month or two now.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59I don't want to say it out loud in case they realise.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03I've been doing a daily programme on Radio 2 for 31 years.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- Which is ridiculous!- Goodness! APPLAUSE
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Everyone's clapping you.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Well done, well done.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13And how long have you been at your current slot, the 9.30 slot?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Well, I started that in 1986 and then the BBC moved me
0:17:16 > 0:17:18to late night for a year and early morning for a year
0:17:18 > 0:17:20and then they put me back there.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- Is there any other slot that you would consider? No!- Well, no.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25When I did late night,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28I found I didn't quite get used to it cos I was always going to work.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- I hate that.- You know that feeling.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34And now, I'm finished work and I can go, "Ha-ha!"
0:17:34 > 0:17:36And enjoy myself all day, sleeping.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Now, what we require from you, Ken, essentially,
0:17:39 > 0:17:41is a correct answer.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- It's all we need is a correct answer.- Well, yes.
0:17:43 > 0:17:49I'm going to play it very safe and say Elton John and Kiki Dee,
0:17:49 > 0:17:51- Don't Go Breaking My Heart. - Don't Go Breaking My Heart.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52Here is your red line, up there.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Let's see if it's right and how many of our 100 people got it.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- It's right.- Well done.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01It's going down further than I thought.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- 11.- What a surprise.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Taking your total up to 30. Nice round score there.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- APPLAUSE - Very well played, Ken.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14It was originally supposed to be a duet
0:18:14 > 0:18:16between Elton and Dusty Springfield
0:18:16 > 0:18:17but she was ill at the time of recording,
0:18:17 > 0:18:19so Kiki Dee stepped in.
0:18:19 > 0:18:20There's lots of pointless answers.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23I'll take you through them via the different artists.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Two Rod Stewart number ones are pointless answers.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28The First Cut Is The Deepest is a pointless answer
0:18:28 > 0:18:30and Baby Jane a pointless answer as well.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Robbie Williams - two pointless answers.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34The Road To Mandalay and It's Only Us.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Rihanna - What's My Name?, which she released with Drake,
0:18:36 > 0:18:39was a pointless answer. Also Take A Bow and Run This Town.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Kylie - no pointless answers at all,
0:18:41 > 0:18:44but 1 point for Hand On Your Heart and Tears On My Pillow.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45That's two different songs.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Eminem - pointless answers for Just Lose It,
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Smack That, that he did with Akon, and Like Toy Soldiers.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52And pointless answers for Elton John -
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Something About The Way You Look Tonight was a pointless answer
0:18:55 > 0:18:58and Ghetto Gospel that he featured on
0:18:58 > 0:19:02with Tupac was a pointless answer. Let's look at the top three scorers,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04the ones most of our 100 people said.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Sailing, Rod Stewart - 35.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Umbrella, Rihanna - 37.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15And Candle In The Wind 1997 - 56 - for Elton John.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Thank you very much, Richard. So, at the end of our first round,
0:19:18 > 0:19:20the pair we have to say goodbye to,
0:19:20 > 0:19:24with their high score of 118, I can't bear it, Craig and Vanessa.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Far too soon to be sending you home, but please come and play again.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- It's been lovely having you here. - Thank you.- Craig and Vanessa.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33APPLAUSE
0:19:33 > 0:19:35For the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38APPLAUSE
0:19:39 > 0:19:42And look at that! Suddenly, we're down to three pairs.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45That's just how it works but it's cruel, Pointless.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Well done, all of you. You've seen off our multi-multi-trophy winners.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- Yes!- So, very well done. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Our category for Round Two this evening is...
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Can you all decide in your pairs
0:20:01 > 0:20:04who's going first, who's going second.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12OK, and the question concerns...
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- Richard.- On each board, we're going to give you six clues,
0:20:18 > 0:20:20the answers to which are fictional professors.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23You need to give us the most obscure answer you can, please.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Six on the first board, six on the second,
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- 12 in all to have go at home. Best of luck.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Let's reveal our first board of clues to our fictional professors
0:20:30 > 0:20:33and here they come. We've got...
0:20:57 > 0:20:59I'll read those all one last time.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28- Ken Bruce.- Right, I was worried when I saw these,
0:21:28 > 0:21:34but I will go for the rocket scientist created by Nigel Kneale.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- Professor Quatermass. - Professor Quatermass, says Ken.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Let's see if that's right
0:21:40 > 0:21:42and how many of our 100 people said Professor Quatermass.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46It's right.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50It's right and it's a good answer. Look at that.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54Down it goes to 8. Very well done indeed, Ken.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Lovely low score there.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- APPLAUSE - Very well played, Ken.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02From the Quatermass Xperiment about a manned flight into space.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04It was broadcast live
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- on Saturday evenings. - There we are. Thank you, Richard.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Jeremy.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Um, I'm going to go for the absent-minded genius
0:22:12 > 0:22:15with hearing difficulties created by Herge.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20- I think that's Professor Calculus. - Professor Calculus, says Jeremy.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21Let's see if that's right
0:22:21 > 0:22:24and how many of our 100 people went for Professor Calculus.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32It's good. 8 is our only score so far.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Oh, and you score 1!
0:22:35 > 0:22:39- APPLAUSE Look at that!- Always the one.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- Professor Calculus scoring 1 point. - Always the one.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Very good stuff so far. Well played, everybody.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49- Yeah, Cuthbert Calculus.- There we are. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53- Now, Zoe, look at this.- I know. - The bar has been set incredibly low.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Do you feel like talking us through this board?
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Well, I know the first one is Ross Geller.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01X-Men, I think Professor Xavier.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Um, Moriarty, the nemesis of Sherlock Holmes.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09And the answer I'm going to give as my choice
0:23:09 > 0:23:11is River Song.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Curse you, Zoe Ball, curse you. Dr Who is the only thing I know.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19River Song, says Zoe. The daughter of Amy Pond and Rory Williams.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Let's see if River Song is right and how many of our 100 people got it.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27It's right. 8 is our high score, 1 is our low.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30It's going to be higher.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- 17 for River Song.- Well done. - APPLAUSE
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Not bad at all.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Not bad at all.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40I have to say, this happens very rarely on regular Pointless.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43I don't think it's ever happened on Pointless Celebrities.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46It's the best three answers on the board from our three pairs,
0:23:46 > 0:23:47- so terrific stuff.- Wow.- Wow.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50APPLAUSE
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Let's fill in the rest of these.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55In fact, Zoe's just done it for us expertly.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Ross Geller at the top, the palaeontologist.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00That would have scored you 45.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Charles Xavier is the next one,
0:24:02 > 0:24:04would have score you 31.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07And, of course, Professor Moriarty, James Moriarty,
0:24:07 > 0:24:09would have scored you 49.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Thank you very much. We're halfway through the round.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Let's look at the scores. 1, Jeremy and Jo. Very well done.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17That's the best score of that pass. Then up to 8, Ken and Anneka.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18And then up to 17 -
0:24:18 > 0:24:22they're nice low scores, all of these - Zoe and Michael.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- Michael...- Yeah.- You just happen to be out in front there,
0:24:24 > 0:24:28so we need a low score from you to make sure you remain with us.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30- I'll do my best. - You'll have a lovely new board,
0:24:30 > 0:24:31but make sure you find
0:24:31 > 0:24:34a testing answer there.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:24:39 > 0:24:42We're going to put six more clues to fictional professors
0:24:42 > 0:24:44up on the board and here they come.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12I shall read those one last time.
0:25:36 > 0:25:41- Michael.- Yes.- Michael.- I really wish I'd had the other board.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45So, I'm going to be really obvious, which is a terrible thing,
0:25:45 > 0:25:47and go for the professor of phonetics,
0:25:47 > 0:25:51- which is Professor Henry Higgins. - Henry Higgins, says Michael,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53for My Fair Lady. Let's see if that's right.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55No red line for you, cos you're the high-scorers,
0:25:55 > 0:25:59but let's see how many of our 100 people got Henry Higgins.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02It's right.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07That's not a bad score. Down it goes.
0:26:07 > 0:26:0817.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Exactly the same as you got on the first pass, taking your total to 34.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16- Not bad.- It's not a bad score at all. It's one of those things.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Because you're in musical theatre,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21you assume everyone knows that but, actually,
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- 17 is a pretty low score. - Great.- Not bad at all.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- Jo, ideally you'd score 32 or less. - OK.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31I was, obviously, going to say Henry Higgins. Thank you, Michael Ball!
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Pretty much the only other one I know is Dumbledore
0:26:35 > 0:26:37and that's going to have a massive score.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39You're going to say...
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Oh, and then I've said it and, therefore, you have to take it.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- I do.- So, I've stitched myself up. - Oh, Jo, I'm sorry.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- It's got to be.- Dumbledore.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51- Now, here is your red line. - I'm sorry, Jeremy.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Get below that with Dumbledore, you're through to the next round.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Professor Dumbledore.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01It's right.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Ooh, look at that!
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Oh, 35!
0:27:06 > 0:27:10APPLAUSE 35. Takes your total up to 36.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14- Oh.- Yes, a tougher board, this one, I have to say,
0:27:14 > 0:27:18- so all still to play for, I suspect, in this round.- Absolutely.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- Thank you very much indeed. Now, Anneka.- Oh!
0:27:21 > 0:27:23This board is all yours,
0:27:23 > 0:27:25- if you fancy talking us through it. - I can't!
0:27:25 > 0:27:27I literally can't.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Thank goodness I've got one left,
0:27:30 > 0:27:35but I'm going to go for the archaeologist and adventurer
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- as Indiana Jones.- Indiana Jones,
0:27:37 > 0:27:39says Anneka. Here is your red line.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42If you can get below that with Indiana Jones,
0:27:42 > 0:27:43you're through to the next round.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46How many people said Indiana Jones though?
0:27:48 > 0:27:50It's right.
0:27:51 > 0:27:52Oh, 62, I'm afraid,
0:27:52 > 0:27:57for Indiana Jones, which takes your total up to 70.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59APPLAUSE
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Now, on this pass, we've had the three biggest answers
0:28:03 > 0:28:04on the board, so it just goes to show.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07There's three tough answers still up there.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10The expert in religious iconology - Robert Langdon.
0:28:10 > 0:28:1312 points if you said that.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16The architect played by Josh Radnor. This is a brilliant comedy.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19He's called Ted Mosby and would have scored you 9 points.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23And the Planet Express owner is Professor Hubert Farnsworth
0:28:23 > 0:28:25and he would have scored you 8 points
0:28:25 > 0:28:28- and he's the best answer on the board.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30We are at the end of our second round
0:28:30 > 0:28:32and I'm sorry to say the pair we have to send home,
0:28:32 > 0:28:34with their high score of 70, Anneka and Ken.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36It's been lovely having you.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Sorry to say goodbye so soon. Come back and play again soon.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41- Thank you.- We will, thank you. - Anneka and Ken. Wonderful.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43APPLAUSE
0:28:43 > 0:28:45But for Zoe and Michael, Jo and Jeremy,
0:28:45 > 0:28:47it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49APPLAUSE
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Congratulations, Jo and Jeremy, Zoe and Michael.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56You're now one step closer to the final and the chance to play
0:28:56 > 0:29:01for our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,500.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03APPLAUSE
0:29:03 > 0:29:06This is the point where we decide who goes through to the final
0:29:06 > 0:29:09to play for that jackpot and we do it by making you go head-to-head.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11The difference is you can now start playing as a team.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19APPLAUSE
0:29:22 > 0:29:26Here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:29:29 > 0:29:32- Brilliant! Yes! - LAUGHTER
0:29:32 > 0:29:34- Richard.- We're going to show you five pictures
0:29:34 > 0:29:37of famous statues and sculptures from around the world.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Can you tell us the country in which you would find these, please?
0:29:40 > 0:29:41Thank you very much.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45Let's reveal our five famous statues and sculptures and here they come.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13There we are. Five famous statues or sculptures.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16We just need the countries in which you would find them.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20Jo and Jeremy, you're our low-scorers, so you'll go first.
0:30:20 > 0:30:26- Jo, you say this cos...- We're going to go for D, Denmark, because...
0:30:26 > 0:30:29- Denmark?- Yeah.- Yeah.- D. D, Denmark.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Now, Zoe and Michael, do you want to talk us through that board?
0:30:32 > 0:30:36Well, we think the Sphinx might be in Egypt.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- That's where we run into a little bit of trouble.- Mm-hmm.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44E's got to be China. Shall we take a guess and go C is France?
0:30:44 > 0:30:46- ZOE GASPS - Or B is France.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48- You choose. - Oh, don't make me choose.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50All right, let's not look foolish on television.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54- We'd like to go for E and China, please.- OK, E, China.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57So, Jo and Jeremy are saying D, Denmark.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Let's see if that's right and how many of people said Denmark for D.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- Well done, Jo. Brilliant. - APPLAUSE
0:31:10 > 0:31:13- There we are. It's right and it scores you 40.- Superb.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Zoe and Michael are saying China for E.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23- It would be funny if it was wrong. - It's right.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27And it scores 63. APPLAUSE
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Which means, Jo and Jeremy, very well done.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32After one question, you're up 1-0.
0:31:32 > 0:31:33Well played. Your instincts were right.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36The two that you knew were going to be high-scorers,
0:31:36 > 0:31:39cos A is Egypt and that's a very big scorer as well.
0:31:39 > 0:31:40Would have scored you 80.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42B and C are the answers that would have won you the point
0:31:42 > 0:31:46and you were tempted to go for France for one or other of them.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- Yeah.- Which do you think is France? - I think I probably would have gone,
0:31:49 > 0:31:52actually been perverse, and done France was B.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56- Well, I can tell you B is Slovakia. - Oh.- Oh, thank goodness.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58- And it was a pointless answer. - Right, wow.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01It's a statue of a sewer worker. But C...
0:32:01 > 0:32:03- Is France.- Is Russia.- Oh!
0:32:03 > 0:32:06LAUGHTER
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- It's The Motherland Calls.- Oh, thank goodness.- 1 point for that.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11- Who is it? - It's nearly 300 feet high, that is.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13- That's Mother Russia, essentially. - Oh.- Oh.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15- It's to commemorate the Battle of Stalingrad.- There we are.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Thank you, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Zoe and Michael, you get to answer it first,
0:32:20 > 0:32:22- but you have to win this one to stay in the game.- Course we do.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26Our second question this evening is all about...
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Five clues now to facts about Roger Federer.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- Can you give us the most obscure answer?- Oh, my goodness.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Here come our five clues, and we've got...
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Here they come again.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Zoe and Michael will go first.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16OK, let's go for the US player.
0:33:16 > 0:33:22- I think they'll know that less than his nationality.- Well, let's see.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26- Pete Sampras.- Pete Sampras, say Zoe and Michael. Pete Sampras.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Now then, Jo and Jeremy, that board's all yours.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- Talk us through it.- Oh, dear! Well, we thought about his nationality.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35We veered between Swedish and Swiss and we went Swiss,
0:33:35 > 0:33:38so I think we've got to go number one or number two.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40I would say... What would you say for...?
0:33:40 > 0:33:43You said Nadal. Or Djokovic.
0:33:43 > 0:33:48- So, let's say Nadal.- OK, the player who defeated him we think was...
0:33:48 > 0:33:50- TOGETHER:- Nadal.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52OK, so, we have Pete Sampras and we have Rafa Nadal.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Zoe and Michael have gone for Pete Sampras.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03- It's right. It is Pete Sampras. - Thank goodness.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06- Oh, thank goodness. - That's a good answer.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08- Down it goes to 24.- Oh, no!
0:34:08 > 0:34:10APPLAUSE
0:34:10 > 0:34:13- We suddenly...- Hang on, what's happened?- We've suddenly realised.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16We've suddenly realised the answer we should have given.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- Moment of terrible clarity here. - No, go on, give us the answer.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21- Have you just had a moment? - We've suddenly realised!
0:34:21 > 0:34:25- Have you remembered who won gold at 2012?- Yeah.- But memorably.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27- Oh, my goodness! - Let's just find out what happens
0:34:27 > 0:34:31if we say Rafa Nadal to our column. LAUGHTER
0:34:31 > 0:34:33- What a shame.- Oh, mm.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Oh, it's not Rafa Nadal.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Which means well done, Zoe and Michael.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42That's exactly what we needed to happen. You're back in the game.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46- After two questions, it's 1-1. - I would like to be a fly on the wall
0:34:46 > 0:34:48when the Eggheads get their hands on YOU, Jeremy.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50LAUGHTER
0:34:50 > 0:34:54I feel so bad and, Andy Murray, I'm a big fan. How did that happen?
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Cos I remember there was a moment of him saying, "This is a great moment.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00"I'm connecting with the British people," and all that.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Of course it was Andy Murray, of course it was!
0:35:03 > 0:35:05It was Andy Murray. Actually only scored 29 points.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07His nationality is Swiss. Big scorer, though.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Would have scored you 50.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Good work from our 100 on the name of the woman he married.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16It's Mirka and would have scored 7 points.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19And the best answer is the year he won his sole French Open title.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22It took him much longer to win the French than any other grand slam.
0:35:22 > 0:35:262009 was the answer there. Would have scored 2 points.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Very well done if you said that at home.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32Thank you very much indeed. Now we have a competition on our hands.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Very, very best of luck to both pairs.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Whoever wins this question goes through to the final
0:35:36 > 0:35:39- and plays for that jackpot for their charities.- I want the trophy.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Here it comes. It's all about...
0:35:44 > 0:35:48- Richard.- We're going to show you the names of five composers of musicals
0:35:48 > 0:35:51but we're going to show the first and last letters of their names
0:35:51 > 0:35:53and something that they've composed.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Can you tell us the most obscure of these five, please?
0:35:55 > 0:35:58Whoever does that is going through to play for our jackpot.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00OK, best of luck to both pairs.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Let's reveal our five musical composers and here they come.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22I'm going to read all those again.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Jo and Jeremy, you go first.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37We think the newest one is the most obscure,
0:36:37 > 0:36:43- so we are thinking Tim Minchin. - OK, Tim Minchin, say Jo and Jeremy.
0:36:43 > 0:36:48Now, Zoe and Michael, do you feel like talking us through this board?
0:36:48 > 0:36:51OK, we've got Irving Berlin, Cole Porter...
0:36:51 > 0:36:53- Your mate.- Andrew Lloyd Webber
0:36:53 > 0:36:55and Lionel Bart.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57- Shall we go Lionel Bart? - Lionel Bart.- I'd say Lionel Bart.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01Zoe and Michael are going to go for Lionel Bart.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03We have Tim Minchin, we have Lionel Bart.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Jo and Jeremy said Tim Minchin for Matilda The Musical.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12It's right.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20- 22.- Is that us? - APPLAUSE
0:37:20 > 0:37:2322 for Tim Minchin.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Zoe and Michael have said Lionel Bart for Oliver!
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:37:30 > 0:37:31It's right.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36- Ooh, 50, Lionel Bart. - Oh, I'm so sorry.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39- I'm sorry. - APPLAUSE
0:37:39 > 0:37:43- Which means very well done, Jo and Jeremy.- Well done.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46After three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49I think you spiked each other's guns on every single question there.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Tim Minchin's the best answer on the board.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54The only thing to clear up is the best answer you could have gone for.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Cole porter would have been a better answer.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Cole Porter would have scored you 40 points.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02And Irving Berlin an even better answer.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Irving Berlin would have scored you 30 points.
0:38:04 > 0:38:05Andrew Lloyd Webber.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09Give him a ring now and tell him he scored 88 points.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13- That was a good head-to-head, wasn't it?- Good head-to-head, yeah.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14Well, what about that?
0:38:14 > 0:38:17I'm afraid, at the end of it, Zoe and Michael,
0:38:17 > 0:38:20we have to say goodbye to you. You've done so well.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Come and play again.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24It would be lovely to see you through to the final next time.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28- Thank you very much indeed. Zoe and Michael.- Thank you.- Good luck.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- Well played. - APPLAUSE
0:38:31 > 0:38:33For Jo and Jeremy, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36APPLAUSE
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Well done, Jo and Jeremy. You've seen off all the competition
0:38:40 > 0:38:43and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:38:52 > 0:38:54for your charities, and at the end of today's show,
0:38:54 > 0:38:56the jackpot is standing at £2,500.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59APPLAUSE
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Very, very well done.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04All you have to do now is win this round and take that jackpot home
0:39:04 > 0:39:07for your charities, which would just be the perfect close.
0:39:07 > 0:39:08I'm sure you can do it.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11As always, you get to choose your category in this last round.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15Four things on the board. Let's see what today's selection looks like.
0:39:15 > 0:39:16We have got...
0:39:23 > 0:39:28- Romantic poetry?- What would you do? - I'd do whatever you want to do.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Shall we do romantic poetry cos I think we could find ourselves
0:39:31 > 0:39:35- in good shape there, I think? - All right.- Romantic poetry it is.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Very best of luck.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39We're looking for any of the following three things, please.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42We're looking for any words of six or more letters
0:39:42 > 0:39:44in Jerusalem by William Blake.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46That's the version that starts "And did those feet..."
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Any words of six letters or more in Ozymandias.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52Or any words of six letters or more in Daffodils by Wordsworth.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55They're all taken from The New Penguin Book of Romantic Poetry.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Obviously, we won't accept the words "Jerusalem",
0:39:57 > 0:39:59"Ozymandias" or "Daffodils".
0:39:59 > 0:40:02Oh, that is quite an important addition of information.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Thank you very much. As always, you've got up to one minute
0:40:04 > 0:40:06to come up with three answers.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08All you need to win that jackpot for your charities
0:40:08 > 0:40:10is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12- Are you ready?- Yes.- Good.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. Your time starts now.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19- OK, what are you thinking, just quickly?- I'm thinking nothing.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21- This is all on you. - Let's just focus on Jerusalem.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24"And did those feet in ancient times Walk upon England's mountains green
0:40:24 > 0:40:26"And did the holy Lamb of God
0:40:26 > 0:40:29"In England's pleasant pastures seen..."
0:40:29 > 0:40:34- Er... So, we've got...- "Pleasant". - "Pleasant". "Mountains".
0:40:34 > 0:40:36Just bear with. We're not there yet.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Daffodils is "I wandered lonely as a cloud".
0:40:39 > 0:40:41- So, I think you could have "wandered" on that.- OK.- I think.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45Um... And did... Let's just think about this.
0:40:45 > 0:40:51Um, "Bring me my bow of burning gold Bring me my arrows of desire."
0:40:51 > 0:40:57So, "arrows", definitely. "Bring me my spear of burnished..." Something.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59I think "burnished" is in there.
0:40:59 > 0:41:00So, I would say "arrows",
0:41:00 > 0:41:02"burnished" and "wandered" at the moment.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06- We've got 14 seconds left.- OK. - Anything else?- No.- Ten seconds left.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08# Bring me my bow of burning gold
0:41:08 > 0:41:10# Bring me my arrows of desire
0:41:10 > 0:41:13# Bring me my... O clouds unfold... #
0:41:13 > 0:41:17- Cos the poem became the hymn, so... - There we are.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19That is your minute up. Let's have your three words.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Are they all three going to be from Jerusalem?
0:41:21 > 0:41:24No, I'm going to go for "wandered", which is from Wordsworth,
0:41:24 > 0:41:31- "arrows" and "burnished".- So, "wandered", "arrows", "burnished".
0:41:31 > 0:41:32- Yes.- There we are.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:41:35 > 0:41:38- "Burnished".- "Burnished" goes last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:41:38 > 0:41:40- "Wandered"?- "Wandered". - Yeah, for sure.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order
0:41:43 > 0:41:45and here they are. We've got...
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Three answers. Let us hope one of those is pointless
0:41:52 > 0:41:54and will win that jackpot for your charities.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Can I ask what your charities are? Jo, who are you playing for?
0:41:56 > 0:42:01- Mine is Shooting Star Chase, which is a hospice.- Excellent. Jeremy?
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Motor Neurone Disease Association,
0:42:03 > 0:42:06- helping people with that disease. - Wonderful.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10APPLAUSE
0:42:10 > 0:42:11Two excellent charities there.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Let's hope one of these answers - at least one of these answers -
0:42:14 > 0:42:17is pointless and you can take that jackpot home and split it
0:42:17 > 0:42:20between those charities. Your first answer was "wandered".
0:42:20 > 0:42:22In this case, we were looking for words of six letters or more
0:42:22 > 0:42:24from Daffodils by Wordsworth.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26It has to be right, obviously,
0:42:26 > 0:42:29then it has to be pointless for you to win, so for £2,500,
0:42:29 > 0:42:31let's see how many people said "wandered".
0:42:34 > 0:42:36It's right.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40All it has to be is pointless and you will win that jackpot.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Down it goes. "Wandered" takes us down through the 30s
0:42:43 > 0:42:44to 34.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46APPLAUSE
0:42:46 > 0:42:49OK, so not a pointless answer at this stage.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52We move on to your next answer, which is "arrows".
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Now we've moved onto Jerusalem by Blake.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58It has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02Let's find out, for £2,500, how many of our 100 people said "arrows".
0:43:05 > 0:43:08It's right. "Wandered" took us all the way down to 34.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11"Arrows" now takes us down through the 40s, passes 34.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14Into the 20s, into the teens. Are we going to make single figures?
0:43:14 > 0:43:16Yes, we are. Down it goes.
0:43:16 > 0:43:17- Still going down to 3!- Oh!
0:43:17 > 0:43:20- APPLAUSE Wow!- Oh, my God!
0:43:20 > 0:43:23APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH
0:43:23 > 0:43:26Well, we've hit a rich vein here. Very good indeed.
0:43:26 > 0:43:30OK, your third and final answer is "burnished".
0:43:30 > 0:43:33Again, we're looking for words of six letters or more
0:43:33 > 0:43:36from Jerusalem by Blake. "Burnished" has to be correct,
0:43:36 > 0:43:39then it has to be pointless for you to win so, for £2,500,
0:43:39 > 0:43:41let's see how many of our 100 people said "burnished".
0:43:45 > 0:43:47- Oh! - AUDIENCE GROAN
0:43:47 > 0:43:50- Not in there. - I'm afraid it's not in there.
0:43:50 > 0:43:53APPLAUSE I'm afraid it's not in there.
0:43:53 > 0:43:57"Arrows" - lovely low score there,
0:43:57 > 0:43:59but I'm afraid you just didn't find
0:43:59 > 0:44:01that pointless answer that you needed,
0:44:01 > 0:44:04so you didn't win today's jackpot of £2,500.
0:44:04 > 0:44:07However, as today's show is a celebrity special
0:44:07 > 0:44:09and each celebrity is playing for a charity,
0:44:09 > 0:44:12we're going to donate £500 to each pair
0:44:12 > 0:44:15- to split between their respective charities.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18It's been fabulous having you on. Very well done indeed.
0:44:18 > 0:44:20Tremendous performance. Thank you so much.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22And you get a Pointless trophy as well to take home.
0:44:22 > 0:44:24Jo and Jeremy. Brilliant.
0:44:24 > 0:44:26APPLAUSE
0:44:28 > 0:44:31Yeah, not "burnished". "Burning" is in there.
0:44:31 > 0:44:33"Burning would have scored you 3 points though.
0:44:33 > 0:44:35But right at the end of our 60 seconds,
0:44:35 > 0:44:38you said the line, "O clouds unfold".
0:44:38 > 0:44:42"Clouds" and "unfold" both pointless answers.
0:44:42 > 0:44:45You didn't even hear yourself say it, I don't think.
0:44:45 > 0:44:47You stuck with the answers you came with.
0:44:47 > 0:44:50Let's take a look at all the pointless answers.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52We'll start with Jerusalem.
0:44:53 > 0:44:57"Countenance divine". "Countenance" would have scored you 1 point.
0:44:58 > 0:45:02And "clouded" also a pointless answer.
0:45:02 > 0:45:06Well done if you said any of those. Ozymandias now by Percy Shelley.
0:45:06 > 0:45:09Lots of pointless answers here.
0:45:12 > 0:45:16Everything, apart from "despair", "traveller", "nothing",
0:45:16 > 0:45:18"remains", "pedestal", "mighty" and "antique".
0:45:18 > 0:45:20Everything else was a pointless answer.
0:45:20 > 0:45:22Well done if you said anything else.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24And words of six letters or more in Daffodils.
0:45:29 > 0:45:32Everything in that, apart from "wandered", "lonely",
0:45:32 > 0:45:35"golden", "floats". Everything else was a pointless answer in that.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38Well done if you got any of those at home. It's been brilliant fun.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40Thank you so much for entertaining us so mightily.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43I'm sorry we couldn't send you away with the whole jackpot.
0:45:43 > 0:45:46Thanks very much indeed. Thank you, Jo and Jeremy.
0:45:46 > 0:45:49We've loved having you on and please come and play again.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52In the meantime, thank you so much. Jo and Jeremy.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:45:55 > 0:45:57Join us next time,
0:45:57 > 0:46:00when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:46:00 > 0:46:02- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:46:02 > 0:46:04And it's goodbye from me. But, before we go,
0:46:04 > 0:46:08we have a special performance by the host of The Art Of Song on Radio 2.
0:46:08 > 0:46:10Here's Mika, singing Piano Man.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:46:16 > 0:46:20# It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
0:46:20 > 0:46:23# The regular crowd shuffles in

0:46:28 > 0:46:32# Making love to his tonic and gin
0:46:32 > 0:46:36# He says, "Son, will you play me a memory
0:46:36 > 0:46:40# "I'm not really sure how it goes
0:46:40 > 0:46:44# "But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete

0:47:05 > 0:47:08# Sing us a song tonight
0:47:08 > 0:47:12# Cos we're all in the mood for a melody
0:47:12 > 0:47:16# And you've got us feeling all right
0:47:16 > 0:47:20# Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
0:47:20 > 0:47:24# He gives me my drinks for free
0:47:24 > 0:47:28# And he's quick with a joke and to light up your smoke
0:47:28 > 0:47:32# But there's someplace that he'd rather be
0:47:32 > 0:47:36# He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
0:47:36 > 0:47:40# As the smile runs away from his face
0:47:40 > 0:47:44# "And I know that I could be a movie star
0:47:44 > 0:47:49# "If I could get out of this place"
