0:01:46 > 0:01:48It's lovely to have you here. We'll get to chat to each of you
0:01:48 > 0:01:50throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Putting the sage into sagacious,
0:01:54 > 0:01:58the egg into egghead, and the cress into LUDI-CRESS-LY well read,

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04Good evening.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- Good evening to you. - And to you.- How are you?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- I'm very well.- It's quite a classy line-up here, isn't it?
0:02:10 > 0:02:11I know. Delicious.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14We've got some newcomers on podium one and podium four,
0:02:14 > 0:02:16so welcome to them, Sophie and Michael, Brian and Fay.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19A real grudge match on podiums two and three, we've got Olly and Jilly.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22They've been on before, and got all the way through to the head-to-head.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24And on podium two, Cyrus and Tony,
0:02:24 > 0:02:27also got through to the head-to-head.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Oh!- It's very interesting to see which of those two pairs
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- might get through to the final this time.- Thank you very much, Richard.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36As usual, all of today's questions have been asked to 100 people before
0:02:36 > 0:02:39the show. All our contestants here are looking for those all-important
0:02:39 > 0:02:43pointless answers. These are answers that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Each time you find a pointless answer,
0:02:45 > 0:02:46we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Now, as today's show is a special celebrity edition,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55We're going to start off with a jackpot of £2,500.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58There we are. APPLAUSE
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04APPLAUSE
0:03:07 > 0:03:09So, remember this at all times -
0:03:09 > 0:03:12the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be
0:03:12 > 0:03:16eliminated. Therefore, always strive to find a low-scoring answer.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18No conferring for the first two rounds.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Our first category this evening is...
0:03:24 > 0:03:27TV Comedy. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:03:27 > 0:03:29who's going to go second?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37And the question concerns...
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Sitcom family surnames. Richard.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46On each board, we're going to show you some forenames, or first names,
0:03:46 > 0:03:50of some famous sitcom families from the UK and the US.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52You just need to give us the surnames of these people, please.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54So we have two boards, there is going to be seven on each,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57so 14 in all to have a go at at home. Best of luck.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59OK, so what are the surnames of these sitcom families?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Here is our first board of seven.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32I shall read all of those again.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Brian, welcome to our special food and drink Pointless edition.
0:04:52 > 0:04:57Now, you held a Michelin star in the early '70s.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Back when these things were kind of hens teeth, weren't they?
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Very few people, certainly in the United Kingdom, had Michelin stars.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08We were the first English people to be awarded a Michelin star
0:05:08 > 0:05:12in this country. The French had Michelin stars,
0:05:12 > 0:05:13but we were the first English team.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16And then, of course, you've been cooking all this time.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Things have happened. You were right out there, you were a pioneer,
0:05:19 > 0:05:21so much, excitingly, has happened since then.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24You're absolutely right, and I'm really quite proud of that.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28I've seen it all as it was, as it became,
0:05:28 > 0:05:30as it is, and as it's likely to become.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- How it will be.- But the nice thing is, I'm sure Fay will agree,
0:05:33 > 0:05:37all things come around again and things are changing back to the way
0:05:37 > 0:05:40they used to be in the '60s, in many ways.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Do you have a favourite period?
0:05:41 > 0:05:45As we come towards this golden period of culinary art.
0:05:45 > 0:05:51The mid-'70s to the '90s, for me,
0:05:51 > 0:05:54was when we were really just getting going,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56and I opened my own business in '86,
0:05:56 > 0:05:59so that was really top of the pile at the time.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Yeah, yeah. OK, now, Brian, what would you like to go for?
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Which of these surnames?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Well, I know a few.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14I'm trying to find the most obscure.
0:06:14 > 0:06:20I think I'm going to go for Frasier, Niles, and Martin,
0:06:20 > 0:06:21and the answer is Crane.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Crane, says Brian.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Let's see how many of our 100 people said Crane.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29It is Crane, of course.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Oh, look, down it goes.
0:06:33 > 0:06:3434, not bad at all, Brian.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Not bad. 34 for Crane. APPLAUSE
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Good start to the round. - Nice start, Brian.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Apparently the cast member who got the most fan mail was Eddie the dog,
0:06:43 > 0:06:45and Eddie was played by Moose for many years,
0:06:45 > 0:06:47and then was played by Moose's son, Enzo.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Oh, that's nice. - For reasons we won't go into.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54But, yeah, that role changed hands.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Moose, obviously, famously, went on into film, didn't he?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Exactly. - He went on to great things.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04He went on to that great film about the farm in the sky.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- Love that film. - Thank you very much, Richard.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Tony, a warm welcome to Pointless.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12How many restaurants have you got these days, Tony?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15I've just opened two, one in Edinburgh, at the Apex Hotel,
0:07:15 > 0:07:17and one in Glasgow at the Alea Casino.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Are you there most days between each of them?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22I've got a fantastic team in both so I'm there to do the menus
0:07:22 > 0:07:25and training and everything, but the team look after it.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27I see. And what are you up to otherwise, Tony?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Hopefully working on a new book.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32The restaurants keep me busy.
0:07:32 > 0:07:37I should think they do. Now, Tony, what about these surnames?
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Sitcom surnames.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Brian pipped me to the one I knew.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Oh, are we on untrodden ground here? - That's OK.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Are you going to have to make something up?
0:07:45 > 0:07:50Well, the other two I know are probably quite popular,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53but it's which one is going to be less popular than the other.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I'll go Reggie Perrin.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57You're going to go Reginald and Elizabeth Perrin.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Perrin.
0:08:03 > 0:08:0534 is our only score so far.
0:08:07 > 0:08:1040. Nice grouping, there, Tony. Very nice indeed.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Nice and close to Brian. APPLAUSE
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Another good answer. A good start from everyone.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17From The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Thanks very much, Richard.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- Now, Olly. - Hello.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Olly, welcome back to Pointless.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Now, you started out writing for children's television and film.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29I did, yeah, I wrote for Pingu and Charlie and Lola and a little bit
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- for Wallace And Gromit.- I mean, some of that dialogue in Pingu.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35It's incredible. It took years.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Absolutely amazing.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- What an ear you must have. - For Penguinese, yeah.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- But other languages, not so much. - I used to watch that.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- I did used to watch it before I had children.- Yeah.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48I love Pingu. I was a die-hard fan of Pingu.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50I honestly thought that was a Scandinavian language.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51It's a mixed up language.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54We used to have to write scripts, obviously, in English,
0:08:54 > 0:08:56but then the voice artist would describe the emotions
0:08:56 > 0:08:59of what was going on. So it might be, come here, don't do that,
0:08:59 > 0:09:02stop, you know, go. Demonstrative. And, occasionally funny.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05But how did you get from that to wine?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07I won a competition, actually.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11It was a little-known reality TV show called Wine Idol.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14One down from Bone Idle, which is the next.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Now, Olly, what would you like to go for on our board of surnames?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20So, there's one that I know that's very familiar.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22It's getting the pointless answer that's tricky.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27I think I'm going to have to go with Alf Garnett, 1966.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Alf Garnett, says Olly. Let's see if that's right,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33let's see how many of our 100 people went for Alf Garnett.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Well, it's right. 40 is our high score, 34 our low.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Oh, 50 for Alf Garnett. APPLAUSE
0:09:44 > 0:09:49- 50.- Yeah, Peter Sellers turned down that role, as did Leo McKern.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51There we are. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Michael, what a treat to have you here.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Great to be here. - A very warm welcome.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- Thank you. - I think one of the first,
0:09:57 > 0:10:00most glorious dinners I had was at Gidleigh Park.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Probably about '99.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04What are you up to now?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06You've moved on from Gidleigh, haven't you?
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Yes, I've left Gidleigh,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- setting up my own country house hotel.- Still in Devon?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Yes, in East Devon, just outside of Exmouth.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Fantastic. We've put a vineyard in there as well.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- It overlooks the wonderful coastline that is East Devon.- Oh!
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Exmouth and the estuary of the Exe River,
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- so it's very exciting times. - Very exciting indeed.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Best of luck with that, Michael. Best of luck with this as well.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28What would you like to go for?
0:10:28 > 0:10:31If you wanted to, you could go through all of those and fill in
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- the answers.- Well, really, I'm struggling with some of them,
0:10:34 > 0:10:38but most of the ones that I had in my mind have already gone.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40So I'm going to go for Hyacinth and Richard,
0:10:40 > 0:10:43which I think is Bucket, or Bouquet.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46I remember it being a bit of a comedy.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49The pronunciation was a problem, if I remember rightly.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52OK, Bouquet. Let's see if that's right, or Bucket.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Let's see if that's right, how many of our 100 people said Bouquet.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Well, there...
0:11:01 > 0:11:0583, Michael. APPLAUSE
0:11:05 > 0:11:07There we go. That is a high score.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08It's a lot better than 100.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11It's very funny, just in the English language,
0:11:11 > 0:11:13very hard to hear the word "hyacinth" without saying "bouquet"
0:11:13 > 0:11:15straight afterwards, isn't it? But, as you say,
0:11:15 > 0:11:17spelt bucket but pronounced bouquet.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Now, let's fill in the rest of this board. Down the bottom,
0:11:21 > 0:11:24there's another obvious one, Albert and Harold Steptoe.
0:11:24 > 0:11:2765 points. Now, these remaining two are the best answers on the board.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30The one second from the bottom is The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31It's the family from that.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34And they were the Banks.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Would have scored you 12. The best answer is the family from Desmonds.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Their surname was Ambrose.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42That would have scored you 1 point,
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- so very well done if you said that. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46We're halfway through our first round.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Let's take a look at those scores.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Very well done on the first podium, Brian and Fay.
0:11:50 > 0:11:5234, the best score so far.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- Thanks to you.- That puts you ahead of the game at this point.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Well done. Then up to 40, where we find Tony and Cyrus.
0:11:58 > 0:12:0250, Olly and Jilly, then 83, Michael and Sophie.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Now, Sophie, you get the first board,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07so make sure you find a really low score.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Don't go too comfortable is what I'm saying, Sophie.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11We need a low score from you to keep you in the game.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13We're going to come back down the line now.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21OK, let's put seven more sitcom families up on the board,
0:12:21 > 0:12:22and here they are.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49I shall read those all again.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Now... Oh, Sophie, no, no, no, no.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11You're shaking your head. Before we get into that, though, Sophie,
0:13:11 > 0:13:13let's just chat a bit about yourself,
0:13:13 > 0:13:15cos you actually started off involved in making pop videos.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17I was. A long time ago.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Yes, but still. Quite exciting.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- It was exciting.- Which were the great videos that you were behind?
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Who am I most proud of? Working with Paul Weller,
0:13:26 > 0:13:28that was probably the one I was most proud of.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32And I am one of the very, very few people in the country who can say
0:13:32 > 0:13:36they have chased sheep across a Dorset hillside for Paul Weller.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Was that to get them into shot or out of shot?
0:13:40 > 0:13:45Into shot. So, every time he was doing his kind of...
0:13:45 > 0:13:47We'd have to get the sheep, wretched sheep,
0:13:47 > 0:13:50to go across the hillside behind him. It wasn't easy.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Then you went from that into being this wonderful food writer,
0:13:52 > 0:13:54a great authority you've become.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- How did that come about? - Oh, just by accident.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- Really? - Really, yes.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01It was just a love you had.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Yes, I just cooked and I got asked by somebody to write an article,
0:14:04 > 0:14:06so I did. And it was...
0:14:06 > 0:14:09When you're young, when you're in your early 20s,
0:14:09 > 0:14:12you kind of have this, "I can do that. Yeah, I could do it, easy."
0:14:12 > 0:14:15And so I did it and realised it wasn't quite as easy as I thought,
0:14:15 > 0:14:17- but, hey. - But it turns out you can do it.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- Yes. - You could and you can.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Now, here's something you have to do, Sophie, we have to score low.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Your nearest rivals are Jilly and Olly in front of you there on 50.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26You're a little bit ahead.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30So, we need a nice low score.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33OK, I'm going to go for...
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Is this right?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Tom and Barbara Good.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Tom and Barbara Good.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Tom and Barbara Good, says Sophie.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44No red line for you as you're the high-scorers,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46but let's see how far down the column we get with Good.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49It's right.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Still going down. 43. APPLAUSE
0:14:56 > 0:14:5843 takes you to 126.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Well, that could be good enough, Sophie.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03- Let's see. - Not a bad score at all.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06The Goods from The Good Life.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07Thanks very much, Richard.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Jilly, now, tell me about Jilly Goolding's wine room.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14I have so much enthusiasm for wine.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18I used to be able to release it in various ways on television,
0:15:18 > 0:15:22talking to people. Somebody said, "Talk to individuals, why don't you,
0:15:22 > 0:15:24"for once, instead of six million?"
0:15:24 > 0:15:27And I had a go, and it's so great.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30So, I get collections of really enthusiastic people,
0:15:30 > 0:15:32they come from Australia, they come from South Africa,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35they come from Sidcup, they come from anywhere.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39And we do champagne, absolutely fantastic English sparkling wines,
0:15:39 > 0:15:42but really obscure and unusual ones.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45We do all sorts of little-known wines.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48It's a real voyage of discovery, not just for the people who come,
0:15:48 > 0:15:52but for me. I'm seeking out things that are incredibly off beam.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53Wonderful.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Now, Jilly, there you are on 50.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Our high-scorers at the moment are Sophie and Michael behind you
0:15:58 > 0:16:00on 126. 75 or less gets you through.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05It's quite tricky, actually, because I really know the well-known ones,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08which isn't what we want. I'm going to go for something that if
0:16:08 > 0:16:12more than 75% of people don't know it, I will be astonished,
0:16:12 > 0:16:14but I'm going to go for Basil and Sybil Fawlty.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Fawlty, says Jilly.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Sophie and Michael might be back in the game, I think.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- Let's see, Fawlty. - Oh, dear!
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Here is your red line. You have to get below that with Fawlty.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Let's see if you can do it.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29It's right.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30Oh, sugar!
0:16:31 > 0:16:3591. Oh, no. APPLAUSE
0:16:35 > 0:16:3991 takes your total up to 141.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42This is absolutely demonically cruel.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Can I do that again?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48You can come back and do it again any time you like, Jilly.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52A very big score. It's worth remembering, Michael, that that's
0:16:52 > 0:16:56also a lovely Devon hotel which had rooms and a nice restaurant.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- And lovely sea views. - Yeah, lovely sea view.- Yeah.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Now, Cyrus.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Cyrus, I gather you're writing another book,
0:17:06 > 0:17:09you're compiling another cookery book at the moment.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10I finished it, finally.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Oh, it's all done. Now, so how does that work? How do you start?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Is it basically you making a beeline to the publisher
0:17:15 > 0:17:18and saying, "I've got so many recipes, I'm going to write a book."
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Or do they come to you and say,
0:17:19 > 0:17:21"It's high time we had another book from you, Cyrus."
0:17:21 > 0:17:23It works both ways. In my case, it works the other way as well.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26And do you have a very good idea of how you want to set it out
0:17:26 > 0:17:27when you start off?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Sometimes I make a mistake of giving an idea,
0:17:29 > 0:17:33because I do a lot of classes, and every time people get confused,
0:17:33 > 0:17:36what they should have in the larder when they're cooking Indian food,
0:17:36 > 0:17:39and they get confused because they see so many spices in the shop,
0:17:39 > 0:17:41they don't know what to buy. So I thought, hang on,
0:17:41 > 0:17:45I'm going to do a book with a handful of spices that everybody
0:17:45 > 0:17:48can have in their houses and it's going to be easy.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50So it's cumin, coriander, turmeric, chilli,
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- the four main powders that you would use.- Mm-hm.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56And cinnamon, cardamom, clove.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59And then pepper and star anise, finished.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Still no fenugreek. Can't believe it.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- Anyway.- Lost. - Now, Cyrus, there you are.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05You're on 40. It doesn't matter what you score,
0:18:05 > 0:18:08you're through to the next round. 141 is our high score.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10You can have a bit of fun here.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13I would score zero because I hardly ever watch television.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15You're too busy writing books.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19But I think I'll go for the second one, Peter, Lois, Chris - Griffiths.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23OK, you're going to go Griffiths. Griffiths, you're saying.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27No red line, you're already through.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- Wrong answer. - Wrong answer. Couldn't matter less.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Scores you 100 points. 140 is your total.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- You are through. - Sorry, Cyrus.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Thank you very much indeed. Fay, warm welcome to Pointless.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- Lovely to have you here.- Thank you. - Now, you actually won your...
0:18:45 > 0:18:49It was a sort of contest, your position on Evening Standard.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50Yes, I won my job in a competition.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- How did that happen? - Well, they were competition mad.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56This was in 1972. Everything was a competition in the Evening Standard.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Their restaurant reviewer, Quentin Crewe, who was very innovative,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04he really set the style for the way it's done these days.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07He... I don't know if he was sacked. He left very abruptly.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11So they ran a competition, that's how they responded to everything.
0:19:11 > 0:19:17I won it and the prize was to do the job for three months.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- That was in 1972.- Wow.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Fay, again, you're already through. It doesn't matter what you score.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24But bearing that in mind,
0:19:24 > 0:19:27do you want to talk us through the board and fill in all those blanks?
0:19:27 > 0:19:28I really don't.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31I can't. May I give what I think is the correct answer for number two?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- You may. Yes, do. - Griffin.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Griffin, says Fay.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37Easy mistake to make, Cyrus.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Griffin, says Fay. Let's see if it's right.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41No red line for you, you're already through.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42How many people said Griffin?
0:19:44 > 0:19:45It is right.
0:19:51 > 0:19:5318, very well done indeed.
0:19:53 > 0:19:5618 takes your total up to 52. APPLAUSE
0:19:58 > 0:20:01The best answer anyone gave in the whole round, Fay, very well played.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02Let's fill in the rest of these now.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Victor and Margaret...
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- Meldrew. - Meldrew, of course.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07That would score 66.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Derek, Rodney and Albert...
0:20:09 > 0:20:10- Trotter. - Trotter.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14It actually scores less than Fawlty, interestingly, 88 points for that.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Jim, Barbara, and Anthony...
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- Royle. - Royle. The Royle Family, of course.
0:20:18 > 0:20:2119 points for that. And Gavin, Stacey, Mick, Pam -
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- best answer on the board. - Shipman.- They were the Shipmans.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26That would have scored you 8 points. Well done if you said that.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Thanks very much, Richard.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30So, we come to the end of our first round, and I'm so sorry,
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Jilly and Olly, at the end of each of these rounds, we have to send
0:20:33 > 0:20:34a pair home, and I'm afraid...
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Ooh, it's very close. Very close indeed.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Just a point in it. But I'm afraid you are our high-scorers on 141,
0:20:40 > 0:20:42so that means...
0:20:42 > 0:20:48There will be a glass of warm white wine in hospitality awaiting you.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Thank you so much. Please come and play again.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Jilly and Olly, wonderful contestants.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- Thank you.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:20:57 > 0:20:59But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01APPLAUSE
0:21:05 > 0:21:07And so suddenly we're just down to three pairs.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- Is it? - Extraordinary. Yes.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Yeah, no, Cyrus, it's going to happen.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12At the end of this round, it'll be two!
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Our next category this evening is...
0:21:18 > 0:21:20The United States of America.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Can you all decide in pairs who's going to go first,
0:21:22 > 0:21:24who's going to go second? And whoever's going first,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26please step up to the podium.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33OK. Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many US states
0:21:38 > 0:21:42beginning with U, N, I, T or D as they could.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46US states beginning with U, N, I, T or D.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- Richard. - Yeah, very little to add here,
0:21:49 > 0:21:50other than we are looking for any US state...
0:21:52 > 0:21:57..that begins with the letters U, N I, T or D.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58Thank you very much indeed.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Now, Fay.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03OK, I think I'll do N - New Jersey.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04New Jersey, says Fay.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06I like the sound of that. Let's see if it's right.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Let's see how many of our 100 people said New Jersey.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13It is right.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Still going down, Fay, look at that.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20There we are. 20. Very well done. APPLAUSE
0:22:22 > 0:22:2420 for New Jersey.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Yeah, it's the only state of America that I got for Christmas.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- Boom-boom! - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35Cyrus. US states beginning with U, N, I, T or D.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Yeah, so I'm trying to think what people may not guess with N, maybe,
0:22:40 > 0:22:43so I'll go for Nebraska.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44Nebraska, says Cyrus.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Nebraska, let's see if that's right.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Let's see how many of our 100 people said Nebraska.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Don't say uh-uh again.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Come on.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54It's right!
0:22:54 > 0:22:56There we are, 20 is our only score so far.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Nebraska, 37. APPLAUSE
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Great answer, well played. It's the corn husker state.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Thank you very much, Richard.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Sophie?
0:23:09 > 0:23:14- I'm going for U... - Mm-hm...
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- Utah. - Utah, says Sophie.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Utah. OK, let's see where Utah ends up on our column.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22We have a high score of 37, a low score of 20.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23How many people said it?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- Look at that! 83! - No!
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- 83!- Nobody's heard of it!- 83! APPLAUSE
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- You'd better do well! - Well, what about that?
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Yeah, I think it's the first letter we gave, and Utah even has
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- the sound U at the beginning of it. - Yes, it has.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44And also, we forgot to say, we only asked Mormons.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46LAUGHTER
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Thank you very much. We're halfway through the round.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Let's take a look at those scores.
0:23:49 > 0:23:5220. Once again, Fay and Brian, brilliant.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Now up to 37, Cyrus and Tony.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57And then up to 83, Sophie and Michael.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58I'm sorry, I'm just so sorry.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Who knows? Who knows why that was such a high score? But, Michael,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04if you can deduce why that might be such a high score, go the other way
0:24:04 > 0:24:07is all I can say, because we need a really low score from you.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Let's hope we get that and it keeps you in the game.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11We're going to come back down the line now.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19So, Michael, yes, our high-scorers.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20- Yes. - So we need a low score.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- Feeling the pressure. - So we're looking for US states
0:24:23 > 0:24:26beginning with these letters - U, N, I, T or D.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29What would you like to go for there?
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Well, there's quite a few there, and...
0:24:33 > 0:24:36I'm going to go for Illinois.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Illinois. OK. No red line for you.
0:24:38 > 0:24:44Let's see how many of our 100 people said Illinois.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- Oh, look at that! 11! - I love you!
0:24:52 > 0:24:53You see, there we are! APPLAUSE
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Illinois, 94.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Great answer, Michael, very well played, yeah.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03They dye the Chicago River green every year on St Patrick's Day.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05- That's nice, isn't it? - It is.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08I don't know what with, but they do dye it green.
0:25:08 > 0:25:09Green!
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Yeah. Thanks very much, Richard. - Oh, it's a pleasure.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Now, there we are. That has given you a target, Tony -
0:25:16 > 0:25:18you are wanting to score 56 or less.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Tampa.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- Tampa, says Tony. - Is that a state?
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Well, let's find out. Tampa. Let's see.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Here is your red line.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34You have to get below that, and Tampa has to be a state.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35Let's see if it is.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- Oh! - I'm so sorry.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43I'm so sorry.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Great celebrations on the far podium there for Sophie and Michael.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50That scores you 100 points and takes your total up to 137.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Yeah, sorry, Tony. Tampa - a city in Florida, I'm afraid.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Thanks very much. Now then, Brian.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Once again, great news - you are through.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03It doesn't matter what you score, you are in our head-to-head round.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Well, there are two.
0:26:04 > 0:26:10I'm going to go more the safety one, it's a bit of a chance,
0:26:10 > 0:26:13but it's the first state in America - Delaware.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Delaware. Delaware, says Brian.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16No red line, you're already through.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Let's see how many people said Delaware.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22It's right.
0:26:27 > 0:26:3229. 49 is your total. APPLAUSE
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Yeah, very well played, Brian. And, as you say,
0:26:34 > 0:26:38the first state to ratify the constitution. 1787, that was.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39Now, on that far podium, Sophie,
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Utah was actually the biggest scorer of all.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45But Illinois, the lowest scorer of all.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Nothing beat 11 at all.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Two scores of 11 - one is Illinois, and the other is New Hampshire.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51That would have been a very good answer.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55You'd have got 13 points for North Carolina, 15 for New Mexico,
0:26:55 > 0:26:5716 for North Dakota.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02You would have got 26 for Iowa, 37 for New York, 43 for Nevada,
0:27:02 > 0:27:0545 for Tennessee. 53, Idaho.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Indiana would have scored you 56, Texas, 66 and Utah, as I say,
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- right at the top there. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13So, at the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home
0:27:13 > 0:27:17with their high score of 137, I'm so sorry, Tony and Cyrus. It is you.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20It's been wonderful having you on but thanks so much for playing.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- Thank you. - Goodbye, Tony and Cyrus.- Thank you.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25APPLAUSE
0:27:25 > 0:27:27But for Brian and Fay, Sophie and Michael,
0:27:27 > 0:27:29it is now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Congratulations, Brian and Fay, Sophie and Michael,
0:27:37 > 0:27:40you're now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for
0:27:40 > 0:27:44our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,500. There we are.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50So, we have reached that point where we decide who goes through
0:27:50 > 0:27:51to the final to play for that jackpot,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53and we do it by making you go head-to-head.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56So you play as teams from here on in, which is nice,
0:27:56 > 0:27:58because it means you can confer before you give your answers.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01And the first player to win two questions will be playing for that
0:28:01 > 0:28:03jackpot for their charities. This should be very exciting.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17Here is your first question, and it concerns...
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Famous Charlottes, Richard.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21We're going to show you five pictures now
0:28:21 > 0:28:23of famous people known by the name Charlotte.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26We just need you to identify the most obscure of these, please.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Thank you very much indeed.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Let's reveal our five famous Charlottes, and here they come.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01There we are. Five famous Charlottes.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Brian and Fay, you've been our low scorers throughout,
0:29:04 > 0:29:05so you get to go first.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Yeah. We sort of know a couple.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13We think.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17So we're going to take a bit of a gamble.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20We're going to go with E - we think it's Charlotte Bronte.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23E, Charlotte Bronte. E, Charlotte Bronte, say Michael and Fay.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Now then, Sophie and Michael,
0:29:25 > 0:29:27the rest of those Charlottes are all yours,
0:29:27 > 0:29:30if you want to go through them and name them for us?
0:29:30 > 0:29:32We've got Charlotte Church.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- Yes.- Charlotte Rampling, and horsey Charlotte.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39- We're not sure about horsey. - I personally would go for Rampling.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41- I would, yeah. - It's my only option.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44We'll go for...
0:29:44 > 0:29:46- Charlotte Rampling. - A Rampling, we will go.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49OK, so Rampling and Bronte.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Brian and Fay went for Charlotte Bronte.
0:29:51 > 0:29:52Let's see if that's right for E.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56Let's see how many of our 100 people said Charlotte Bronte.
0:30:03 > 0:30:0632. APPLAUSE
0:30:07 > 0:30:0932 for Bronte.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12- You're looking worried, Brian. - I AM worried.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14No, I think, I think that's good.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- That's good. - You're concerned by her popularity?
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Yeah, I thought it would be lower than that, to be honest.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Well, you have gone for Charlotte Rampling.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24Let's see how many of our 100 people said Charlotte Rampling for C.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Oh, it's going to be close. It's going to be...
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Look at that! 30 for Charlotte Rampling.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Look at that, very well done! APPLAUSE
0:30:35 > 0:30:41Sophie and Michael. After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42That was very close, that one, wasn't it?
0:30:42 > 0:30:45That's taken from Charlotte Bronte's Instagram page, that one.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- That's...- You can tell she chose that herself.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50That's a selfie taken in her bathroom mirror.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53You can see, she's got her iPhone in there, in her right hand there.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Now, A is Charlotte Church. It's a big scorer, though.
0:30:56 > 0:30:57Would have scored you 73.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Move down to D, horsey Charlotte, as you say,
0:31:00 > 0:31:02would have won the point for either team.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- That's Charlotte Dujardin. - Dujardin.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08Charlotte Dujardin would have scored you 14. The best answer, B -
0:31:08 > 0:31:10she's a famous assassin during the French Revolution.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14- Murdered Marat - it's Charlotte Corday.- Oh!
0:31:14 > 0:31:16So, here comes your second question.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Now, Sophie and Michael get to answer it first,
0:31:18 > 0:31:21so slight advantage there. Pressure on you, Brian and Fay.
0:31:21 > 0:31:22We need a low score from you.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24You have to win this one to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Our second question this evening is all about...
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- Cakes and puddings. Rich? - That's gone down very well.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37We should have said ice creams, imagine that!
0:31:37 > 0:31:39We're going to show the names of five cakes and puddings now,
0:31:39 > 0:31:43but they are in anagram form. Can you unscramble the anagrams
0:31:43 > 0:31:45and tell us the most obscure one, please?
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five anagrams,
0:31:47 > 0:31:49and here they come. We have got...
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Sophie and Michael will go first.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Sporting voice, spotted dick... Good one, this.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18- Spotted dick. - Yes, that's... No... Yes, that's...
0:32:18 > 0:32:20What's four attack beagles?
0:32:20 > 0:32:24No, no, no, because lots of people will say that.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Yeah, we're going to go for Black Forest gateau.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Yes, Black Forest gateau, bottom.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33OK, for four attack beagles, Black Forest gateau.
0:32:33 > 0:32:34OK, Black Forest gateau.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Brian and Fay, what would you like to go for?
0:32:38 > 0:32:40- Well...- Talk us through them all, if you can.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42- Uh... - I can remember the first one.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- Victoria sponge.- And we think that spotted dick is the
0:32:45 > 0:32:50next to the bottom one. But we think we're going to go for...
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Are we going to go for that?
0:32:52 > 0:32:53- Two Zs? - Yes, lemon drizzle.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Lemon drizzle.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Lemon drizzle. You're going to go for lemon drizzle.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00So we have Black Forest gateau and lemon drizzle.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Now, Sophie and Michael went for Black Forest gateau.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07Let's see how many of our 100 people got that from four attack beagles.
0:33:10 > 0:33:11It's right.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17Oh, look at that!
0:33:18 > 0:33:20- Yes! - APPLAUSE
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Well done, you! Well done.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28- That... - Well, that was down to you.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30..is impressive.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34Lemon drizzle is what Brian and Fay have gone for, from milder nozzle.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:33:40 > 0:33:41Lemon drizzle's right.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Oh, 41! APPLAUSE
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Well, very, very well done, indeed.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Sophie and Michael, after only two questions,
0:33:52 > 0:33:54you are through to the final 2-0.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Yeah, Black Forest gateau best answer on the board there.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- Terrific... Terrific work. - Almost impossible to find in there.
0:33:59 > 0:34:00I couldn't find that.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02- It was a tough one, wasn't it? - Yeah.- It was a tough one.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Now, we've had the answers to four of these, so we'll find the scores.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08A sporting voice, Fay, you told us was Victoria sponge, quite right.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10That would have scored 23 points.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Pitted docks, we know is spotted dick.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14And that would have scored you 67.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Now, have you worked the last one out?
0:34:16 > 0:34:18- Sticky toffee. - Sticky toffee pudding.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21Sticky toffee pudding. And that would have scored you 20.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24So, Black Forest gateau, far and away the best answer there.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Thanks very much, Richard. So, the pair leaving us
0:34:26 > 0:34:28at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid,
0:34:28 > 0:34:31it's our wonderful low-scoring pair, Brian and Fay.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33So strong the whole way through the show,
0:34:33 > 0:34:35nothing wrong with any of your answers here.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37But, yes, you was robbed...
0:34:38 > 0:34:40..by a better answer in each case. LAUGHTER
0:34:40 > 0:34:43But thank you so much for coming and playing with us.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Come and play again, it's been wonderful to have you here.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47- Brian and Fay!- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:34:51 > 0:34:55But, for Sophie and Michael, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Congratulations, Sophie and Michael.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03You've fought off all the competition,
0:35:03 > 0:35:06and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07- Wow! - Hooray!
0:35:12 > 0:35:15You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:15 > 0:35:17for your charities, and at the end of today's show,
0:35:17 > 0:35:20the jackpot is standing at £2,500. There it is.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25So, a very, very well done.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28You know, there were a couple of moments, a little bit touch-and-go,
0:35:28 > 0:35:29but here we are.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Now, as always, you get four things to choose from.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Let's see what the categories are today.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36We've got to hope there's something up there you like the look of.
0:35:36 > 0:35:37We have, today...
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Argentina, I don't think I know anything about.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51- Monty Python is difficult. - Big stakes.- Yeah.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54- Monty Python. I think Monty Python. - You've got to go for the stuff that
0:35:54 > 0:35:56you instinctively think you're going to stand a chance.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58It's going to be random, isn't it? Musical things with blood.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01So, what do you...? Do want to do sport in 2003?
0:36:01 > 0:36:04- No, you're not strong on that. - I think Monty Python's easier.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08Let's do Monty Python, because that's pretty broad, isn't it?
0:36:08 > 0:36:09- Come on. - It's got more food in it.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12- Yeah.- OK. - The Holy Grail, and all that.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14That's drink!
0:36:14 > 0:36:15- Go for it. - OK. Monty Python.
0:36:15 > 0:36:16Monty Python it is. Richard.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18OK, best of luck. Here are your three options.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Hopefully one of these will suit you.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23We're looking for any film starring John Cleese, please.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Any film for which John Cleese has received an acting credit,
0:36:26 > 0:36:28up to January 2016, according to IMDb.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31We are looking for - I like this one -
0:36:31 > 0:36:33any of the things that the Romans have done for us.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37Anything in that speech, please, from John Cleese.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Or we're looking for the title of any Michael Palin
0:36:39 > 0:36:43travel documentary, please. Again, to the beginning of January 2016.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45So John Cleese films, things the Romans have done for us,
0:36:45 > 0:36:47and Michael Palin travel documentaries.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53So, as always, you've got a minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of your answers
0:36:56 > 0:36:58to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:36:58 > 0:37:00- We think so. - About as ready as we'll ever be!
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Perfect. Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06- OK, so... - Romans have done roads.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- They have. - And what else have they done for us?
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Have they done drains? I don't know anything about that.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- They didn't do trains, but Palin did something...- Drains, drains, drains.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Drains. They did roads, drains, they also did...
0:37:15 > 0:37:18- Oh, gosh, yes. - ..money.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Hadrian's Wall. John Cleese's films.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- I know, I know, but... - Fish Called Wanda.
0:37:23 > 0:37:24- Fish Called Wanda, he did. - Right, OK.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26He did Bond films, James Bond.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28- He was... - Which one, though?
0:37:28 > 0:37:29I knew you were going to ask that.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Yeah, well, they'll probably want to know it.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Can we just say "James Bond"?
0:37:33 > 0:37:34- No, I don't think that'll do. Um...- OK.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- Michael Palin's travel doc... He's just been everywhere.- He has.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39If we just say "in China", will that count?
0:37:39 > 0:37:43- He was on trains, wasn't he? - He was... "On trains"!
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- I'm trying to think of it. - Oh, no!- This is where I'm
0:37:46 > 0:37:48- starting to think maybe... - Did he do one...?
0:37:48 > 0:37:50- ..blood in the title. - Oh, no, that was a film, wasn't it?
0:37:50 > 0:37:51The one where he did the prostitutes?
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Oh, no idea. I must have missed that one.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55- Ten seconds left. - We've only got ten seconds left.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57- OK, so... - We've got to get serious now.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01- Let's do one for the Romans... - Clock... Clockwise, Clockwise.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03John Cleese, Clock... What was it?
0:38:03 > 0:38:05- Clockwork? - That is your time up.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07I now need your three answers.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09- OK. Let's go... - Clockwork.
0:38:09 > 0:38:10- Let's do it. - Clockwork.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12- Yeah. - John Cleese films.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Do one for Romans?
0:38:14 > 0:38:16- Yeah, what...?- Drains? - No, drains or roads.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18- Roads, let's do roads.- Roads. - Roads for the Romans.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20- And then go back to... - Fish Called Wanda?
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- Yeah, why not?- A Fish Called Wanda. - It's a bit obvious.- I know.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- For John Cleese. - But you've got to wonder.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28- OK, there we are. A Fish Called Wanda.- That's bad. Yeah.
0:38:28 > 0:38:29- Fish Called Wanda. - There we are.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer,
0:38:32 > 0:38:33- do you think? - I think Clockwork.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35- Clockwork, yeah. - Clockwork, we'll put last.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- Least likely to be pointless? - Probably John Cleese...
0:38:38 > 0:38:40- The...- Fish Called Wanda. - Fish Called Wanda.
0:38:40 > 0:38:41- Possibly roads.- We'll put... - Roads...
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Let's put roads in the middle, and we'll put Fish Called Wanda
0:38:44 > 0:38:45- at the beginning. - OK.- OK.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48Let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then,
0:38:48 > 0:38:49and here they are. We've got...
0:38:53 > 0:38:55- Good luck. - Well, very, very best of luck.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57You're playing for charities today.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59What charity are you playing for, Sophie?
0:38:59 > 0:39:02I'm playing for Kids Cookery School, in Acton,
0:39:02 > 0:39:07which is a wonderful institution that takes disadvantaged children
0:39:07 > 0:39:10and encourages them to cook, and gives them a sense of purpose.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11Wonderful. Michael, how about you?
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Mine is Families For Children. I'm the patron of
0:39:14 > 0:39:17this wonderful adoption charity that takes children from all around
0:39:17 > 0:39:20the UK, and puts them in loving families within the south-west.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23And I, myself, was adopted, so it's a great cause.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Wonderful. APPLAUSE
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Two fabulous charities there.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Really, let's hope that one these answers is pointless and will win
0:39:32 > 0:39:34that jackpot for those charities. So, your first answer was
0:39:34 > 0:39:36A Fish Called Wanda. In this case,
0:39:36 > 0:39:38we were looking for John Cleese films.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41You only have to find one pointless answer among these three to win
0:39:41 > 0:39:45that jackpot, so let's find out. For £2,500, let's not forget.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48How many of our 100 people said A Fish Called Wanda?
0:39:51 > 0:39:52Well, it's right.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55It now just has to go down to zero.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00And if it does that, you leave here with £2,500 for your charities...
0:40:00 > 0:40:04Oh, bad luck. APPLAUSE
0:40:04 > 0:40:06- All right. - 40 for A Fish Called Wanda.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Not bad, though. Not bad.
0:40:08 > 0:40:09More than halfway down the column.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12- Not good enough.- Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Your next answer was roads.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17In this case, we were looking for things the Romans have done for us.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot, so for £2,500,
0:40:21 > 0:40:23let's see how many people said roads.
0:40:26 > 0:40:27Again, it's right.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31A Fish Called Wanda took us all the way down to 40.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Roads now taking us down through the 40s, passes 40,
0:40:34 > 0:40:35down it goes through the 30s...
0:40:35 > 0:40:3829 for roads. APPLAUSE
0:40:40 > 0:40:42So I'm afraid, also not a pointless answer,
0:40:42 > 0:40:44which means you only have one more shot at today's jackpot.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48Everything is now riding on your third and final answer, Clockwork.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52So remember, we were looking in this case for John Cleese films,
0:40:52 > 0:40:56once again. This has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58For £2,500, how many people said Clockwork?
0:41:02 > 0:41:04- Oh, bad luck! - What was it called?
0:41:04 > 0:41:06I'm afraid... APPLAUSE
0:41:09 > 0:41:11I should have done the Romans...
0:41:11 > 0:41:13I mean, a brilliant performance across the show.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16I mean, you've managed to get through by the skin of your teeth on
0:41:16 > 0:41:20a couple of occasions. Then, you're through 2-0 in the head-to-head,
0:41:20 > 0:41:22no arguing with that, and through to that final.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24It wasn't a brilliant board for you, was it?
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- That was quite tough.- Never mind. - But, you got two out of three,
0:41:27 > 0:41:30but I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless
0:41:30 > 0:41:33answer, so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36However, as today's show is a celebrity special and each of
0:41:36 > 0:41:39our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity,
0:41:39 > 0:41:42we are going to donate £500 to each celebrity pair for their respective
0:41:42 > 0:41:44charities, so there you are. APPLAUSE
0:41:44 > 0:41:45It's been great having you on, guys.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48And you get to take home a Pointless trophy each,
0:41:48 > 0:41:52- so, very well done. - Yeah, very well played throughout.
0:41:52 > 0:41:53Clockwise is the name...
0:41:53 > 0:41:55- It was Clockwise! - ..which I think you knew.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58Anyway, it would have scored you 12 points, Clockwise.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03We'll start with John Cleese, shall we? A few big films here.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10He plays Nearly Headless Nick. Philosopher's Stone would have
0:42:10 > 0:42:14scored you one point. Silverado, the Western, was a pointless answer.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16In fact, all of his films were pointless answers apart from...
0:42:16 > 0:42:18None of the Python films were pointless,
0:42:18 > 0:42:19and none of his Bond films were.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21First two Shrek films weren't pointless,
0:42:21 > 0:42:24but the third Shrek film, that was a pointless answer, Shrek the Third.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Then we've had Clockwise, Fish Called Wanda,
0:42:26 > 0:42:27Fierce Creatures, and Rat Race.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Every other film was pointless, apart from those.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Now, let's move on to the things the Romans have done for us.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Now, we've talked about one of these a lot on today's show - wine.
0:42:35 > 0:42:36- Wine! - It's all you had to say.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38You would have walked away with the money.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Public health, medicine, fresh water system,
0:42:40 > 0:42:42those are the only four pointless answers there.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Now, Michael Palin travel documentaries -
0:42:44 > 0:42:46four pointless answers here.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Also, Great Railway Journeys was the title of one of his shows,
0:42:52 > 0:42:55and you were talking a lot about him being on trains.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59He hosted one episode of that, so it would have been a very good answer.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Very well done if you got any of those at home,
0:43:01 > 0:43:04- and tough luck in the studio. - Thanks very much.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07Well, sadly, Sophie and Michael didn't manage to win the jackpot.
0:43:07 > 0:43:08But join us next time,
0:43:08 > 0:43:11when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.
0:43:13 > 0:43:14Goodbye.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16And it's goodbye from me - goodbye.
