0:00:19 > 0:00:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:27Thanks very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and a warm welcome to Pointless Celebrities,
0:00:27 > 0:00:30the show where the aim of the game is to find the most obscure answers
0:00:30 > 0:00:33possible. Let's meet today's Pointless Celebrities.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38And couple number one.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Hello, I'm Susan Calman.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44I'm a comedian and I've been booked this evening as the glamour.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45LAUGHTER
0:00:47 > 0:00:49My name is Gyles Brandreth
0:00:49 > 0:00:53and I'm here because I'm a Susan Calman groupie.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00- Couple number two.- Hello, I'm Sharron Davies and I used to do
0:01:00 > 0:01:03a little bit of swimming once upon a time, and now I'm doing
0:01:03 > 0:01:06all the interviews poolside with this young man.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07And I'm doing the same.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10I'm Mark Foster. I used to swim a bit, dance a bit,
0:01:10 > 0:01:13and then while Sharron is poolside, I'm up in the studio.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Couple number three.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Hello, I'm Matt Barbet.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22I'm best known for doing the news on Channel 5 and I also do
0:01:22 > 0:01:25the Saturday Show on Channel 5 as well.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30I don't know why I'm here, but my name is Nancy, of course,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I don't think I do need any presentation.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40And finally number four.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42I'm Diane-Louise Jordan.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45I started life as a Blue Peter presenter.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Songs Of Praise and Radio 2 are my love now.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52My name is Richard Coles. I used to play in bands in the '80s.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I'm now vicar of Finedon.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58I'm on the wireless a bit and mostly I spill food down my front.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Thanks very much, all of you. We will get to chat to each of you
0:02:03 > 0:02:05throughout the show as it goes along, of course.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Dressed to impressed,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11from his clever clogs right the way up to his smarty-pants,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Hiya. Hello, everybody.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Evening.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23It's not actually that far from your clogs to your pants.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- In your case, it is though.- You're quite right, you're quite right.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27- How are you?- I'm very well.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Excellent.- This should be fun, shouldn't it?- I think so.- We've got
0:02:30 > 0:02:33a real superstar pair on today's show. There's Sharron and Mark,
0:02:33 > 0:02:34they've both been in finals before.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Mark has won a jackpot as well, so they're going to be very,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40very difficult to beat. But Richard Coles,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42who came on before, got knocked out very early on.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- Yes.- Very early on.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47I think he feels like Pointless owes him.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- I think so.- That's what I think. - So Pointless to stump up, we think.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Exactly right. Everyone - looking along the line -
0:02:54 > 0:02:57pretty much everyone should be good on round one.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Pretty much everyone. - OK, thank you very much.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03As usual, all of today's questions have been put to 100 people before
0:03:03 > 0:03:06the show. All of our contestants here are looking for those
0:03:06 > 0:03:09all-important pointless answers, these being answers that none of our 100 people gave.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Find one of those and we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Now, as today's show is a celebrity special,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17each of our lovely celebrities is playing for a nominated charity.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21We are going to start off with a jackpot of £2,500.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22There we are.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35I'm sure you don't need me to remind you of this, but here we are anyway.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38The pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be
0:03:38 > 0:03:40eliminated, so keep those scores nice and low.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Also, no conferring for the first two rounds.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Other than that, very, very best of luck.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Our first category this evening is Words.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51It's a words round.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- who's going to go second? - Would you like to go first?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05OK. Let's find out what the question is.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many words
0:04:09 > 0:04:13ending in "AKE" as they could.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Words ending in AKE.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Yeah, there's a few wordsmiths amongst our contestants as well.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23We are looking for any word in the British & World English section
0:04:23 > 0:04:26of Oxford Dictionaries.com that ends AKE, please.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28As always, no proper nouns,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30no hyphenated words, anything like that.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- Very best of luck. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35OK, so Gyles, there we are, going first.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- It's good to be here.- But now, Gyles, I want to talk to you.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Yes.- I want to talk to you about teddy bears.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44You have an enormous collection of teddy bears.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I have a thousand teddy bears, more than a thousand teddy bears,
0:04:47 > 0:04:50including some real collectors' items.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53I was given, for example, the original Fozzie Bear,
0:04:53 > 0:04:56given to me by Jim Henson, who created the Muppets.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I've got the original Pudsey,
0:04:58 > 0:05:01and I've got all these bears, and they needed a home.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Right.- I was making a film for The One Show and I was taken to
0:05:04 > 0:05:07a place called Newby Hall in North Yorkshire.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08And I discovered that Newby Hall,
0:05:08 > 0:05:11a wonderful stately home designed by Christopher Wren,
0:05:11 > 0:05:12was the place where,
0:05:12 > 0:05:16if the Nazis had landed during the Second World War,
0:05:16 > 0:05:19the Royal family would have gone to Yorkshire, of course,
0:05:19 > 0:05:23God's own country, and they'd have gone to Newby Hall to live.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26So I thought, if this place is good enough for royalty,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29it's good enough for my bears. So my bears have all moved.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33- They live at Newby Hall?- They live in the Bear House in Newby Hall.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Wonderful. Now, Gyles,
0:05:35 > 0:05:38words ending in AKE.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Yeah. I'm going to go for corncrake.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Corncrake, let's see if it's right.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Let's see how many of our 100 people said corncrake.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50It is right.
0:05:58 > 0:06:003 for corncrake.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Great start to the show.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Yes, the secretive Eurasian bird.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Corncrake. I thought you were going to say corncrake.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11It's exactly the kind of thing I would have said.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13That's what I had written down. Corncrake, there you go.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16So now that's spoiled that, I'll have to do another one for you.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- OK, Sharron.- Hello.- Welcome back to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Welcome back. Now, Sharron, I have to ask, I have to ask you this.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26When most people think about a holiday, their nice summer holiday,
0:06:26 > 0:06:28the first thing you think about is a swimming pool.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- Yeah.- The swimming is key, I would say, a central part of any holiday.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Is that the case for you?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37I mean, can you look at the swimming pool and think,
0:06:37 > 0:06:39"Oh, I just have to throw myself in there"?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- No.- If it's hot.- If it's really warm and it's the sea, maybe,
0:06:42 > 0:06:45but we look upon a swimming pool and think, hard work, don't we?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- Five o'clock in the morning.- And you can't just get in there
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- and lark about and splash about and...- Not very much, no.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Not very much, no. I think Mark swims more than I do these days.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- I actually sit on a bike most of the time.- OK. Presumably if you ever did
0:06:57 > 0:07:00get in a pool, everyone would just get in the pool and try and swim
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- a bit faster than you. - Or stop.- Yeah.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- Now, corncrake scored 3.- Yeah.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10I think because we're talking early mornings we'll just go with awake.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Awake.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17Awake, says Sharron. Let's see how many of our 100 people said awake.
0:07:27 > 0:07:2816.
0:07:30 > 0:07:3216, for awake.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Yeah, awake, it follows a funeral(!)
0:07:34 > 0:07:35LAUGHTER
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Thanks very much, Richard.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Matt, welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here. Now,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43you have read the news on television and on radio.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48- I have.- You started off on radio with Sara Cox. Which do you prefer?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Radio is great, cos you don't need too many people to help you do it,
0:07:51 > 0:07:52whereas as you can see with TV
0:07:52 > 0:07:56you need a lot of people to make it all happen, so there are pros
0:07:56 > 0:08:00and cons to both, but I had a good time with Sara in the mornings.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03And have you ever broken a story?
0:08:03 > 0:08:07When I was at Radio 1, I remember announcing the bombing of Baghdad,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10so that wasn't my personal story to break,
0:08:10 > 0:08:13but it was a pretty big one to announce to the nation.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17OK, now, Matt, our scores at the moment go 3, 16.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Who knows what the next score is going to be in this sequence.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Well, I thought awake might get quite a high score,
0:08:22 > 0:08:25but it's almost counterintuitive to go with those easier words,
0:08:25 > 0:08:28but I'm going to plump for slake,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- as in to slake one's thirst. - Slake, says Matt.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Let's see how many of our 100... AUDIENCE MEMBER GROANS
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Slightly scary, that noise. Let's see, slake - is it right?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41How many of our 100 people went for slake?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Well, it's right. 16 is our high score, 3 is our low.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50You've passed 16.
0:08:50 > 0:08:5110 for slake.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- Not bad. - Not bad at all.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Yes, to quench or satisfy, to slake.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- It's a good one, isn't it?- It is a good one.- Not yours, though.- No.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- I've written down what I think yours is.- Oh, OK. Interesting.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07I feel the pressure now.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- Don't change it. - No, I shan't, I shall not.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- Diane, welcome to Pointless. - And talking of pressure...
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Now, Diane, you mentioned Blue Peter earlier.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Yeah.- I read that you turned down a role in Corrie.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Do you know, it was one of those weird days.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Years before, I was an actress, and I was in Manchester for a while,
0:09:27 > 0:09:31so almost every week I was up at Granada, knocking on the door,
0:09:31 > 0:09:33trying to get to the casting director,
0:09:33 > 0:09:34asking if they'd give me a job.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38They ignored me. Then, you know, a couple of years forward...
0:09:38 > 0:09:41On the morning that I get the Blue Peter offer,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44about an hour later my agent phoned me and said,
0:09:44 > 0:09:45"You won't believe this
0:09:45 > 0:09:48"but Coronation Street's offered you a job as well.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49"Which one do you want to do?"
0:09:49 > 0:09:51I made the right choice.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I was offered Harry Potter the same day I was offered this(!)
0:09:54 > 0:09:55You made the right choice!
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- I think I did.- Do you know what? It's a shame.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00You would have been a terrific Hermione.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02LAUGHTER
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Diane.- Yes? - Have you got a good answer?
0:10:05 > 0:10:06I've got an answer.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10What about retake?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Retake. Retake, says Diane.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Let's see how many of our 100 people went for retake.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26That's good! Look at that! 9.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Second-lowest score of the round.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Very well done. 9 for retake. Well played, Diane.- It's a great answer.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Yeah, retake. I don't know what it means. It's not something
0:10:35 > 0:10:37- we've ever really come across, is it?- No.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40In our long and varied career.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Let's take a look at those scores and see where we are.
0:10:45 > 0:10:483 is the best score of the round. Corncrake, Gyles. Very well done.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Then up to 9 - Diane and Richard.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Then up to 10, where we find Matt and Nancy.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Up to 16 - Sharron and Mark. Not too far ahead, Mark, but we need
0:10:55 > 0:10:58a low score from you in the next pass, Mark. So good luck with that.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players
0:11:00 > 0:11:02please step up to the podium?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08OK, so, Richard, welcome back.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Welcome back to Pointless. Great to have you. Now, I have to ask you.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14You must have been asked this so many times -
0:11:14 > 0:11:16bearing in mind that everyone has a price -
0:11:16 > 0:11:19you must've worked out what your price would be
0:11:19 > 0:11:21for The Communards to get back together?
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- A pint. - Really?!
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- Seriously?- We do get asked every year but I can't remember
0:11:28 > 0:11:29any of the songs and my hips...
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Oh, you must.- I can't cope with the dancing now.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34My hip will go out or something.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38You could sit... You could work out Don't Leave Me This Way, surely.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Well, I don't know that I could.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41When I got this present job, my present parish...
0:11:41 > 0:11:44We've got a primary school and when I went in on my first day
0:11:44 > 0:11:47a little boy came up to me and said, "You're the new vicar!"
0:11:47 > 0:11:50I went, "Yeah." He said, "You was in that band."
0:11:50 > 0:11:53I said, "Yes." He said, "That was my nan's favourite band."
0:11:53 > 0:11:55LAUGHTER
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Richard, what would you like to go for? There you are on 9.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03If you happen to score less than 6, 6 or less,
0:12:03 > 0:12:06you would be through to the next round automatically.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Well, how about spake?
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Spake. Oh! Look at that...
0:12:11 > 0:12:15The number of impressed "Oohs!" we've had so far from our audience.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Spake. Here is your red line. Let's see if you can get below
0:12:17 > 0:12:20the red line with spake. How many of our 100 people said it?
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Look at that, 1!
0:12:31 > 0:12:33I'm so happy.
0:12:33 > 0:12:351 for spake.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Richard, you have already done twice as well as you did last time.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- I know, it's a record for me. - That's taken your total up to 10.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- You are through.- A great answer. Obviously, the past of speak.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- It's in the Bible a lot, isn't it? - It is.- Isn't it?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- In the English version, anyway. - Yeah, yeah. Thank you.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Nancy, welcome to the show.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- Lovely to be here. - It's great to have you here.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58Thank you.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03I want to ask you, you did a one-woman show in Edinburgh in 2014.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- Yes, I did. - What made you do that?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08I wanted to...
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I wanted to have direct contact
0:13:11 > 0:13:15with the public and to tell the story my way.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17I like to interact with people.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19That was an incredible...
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Just two weeks but it was an amazing experience.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25- What time was your slot? - Eight o'clock in the evening.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Would you do it again? - I would do it again.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30They've been asking for this year. I don't have time this year but I will
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- do it again.- Good for you. I take my hat off to you.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38As I say, the spot is only one hour and it is too short.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40I do have a lot of things to say.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Very good. Now, Nancy, you are on 10.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47If you can happen to score 5 or less, you are into the next round.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50There are two. I am undecided.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52I'm going to go with brake.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Brake, says Nancy.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Here is your red line. If you can get below the red line with brake,
0:13:57 > 0:14:00you're into the next round. Let's see how far down the column we go.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Brake.
0:14:08 > 0:14:0938.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- That's all right. - Taking your total up to 48.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Yes, a device for slowing or stopping a moving vehicle.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18It is quite hard if English is not your first language.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22It's hard for Xander and English supposedly is his first language.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24A words round is tough.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27It is. It is tough. Indeed, it is.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- Mark, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32I want to ask you about the Mark Foster Swimming Academy.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- How long have you been running that? - For about three years.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38It's basically for 11 to 18-year-olds that are...
0:14:38 > 0:14:41They can swim. They're club swimmers of a certain level.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46- Yeah.- It's about trying to use the knowledge I have over 25 years
0:14:46 > 0:14:49at senior level and sort of passing that knowledge on.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51So the very, very basics through to...
0:14:51 > 0:14:54So, pool work, land work and through to classroom work.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57We talk them through mind-set, how to deal with nerves,
0:14:57 > 0:14:59how to prepare yourself, those kinds of things.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- Sure. Three years... It's only been going...- It's not a long time.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07I retired eight years ago and it was kind of trying to give something back to the sport for me.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10I'm a great believer in if you can see someone do something,
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- you can copy them.- Yeah.- But seeing their eyes light up when they're in
0:15:13 > 0:15:16the water and just how they engage with the water is fantastic.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- Wonderful. Best of luck with that. - Thank you.- That sounds fantastic.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Now, Mark, best of luck with your answer.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24We now have a high score of 48. 31 is your target.
0:15:24 > 0:15:2731 or less gets you into the next round.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30I'm going to go for...
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- remake.- Remake.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Remake, says Mark. Here is your red line.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38If you can get below the red line, you are through to the next round.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Let's see how many of our 100 people said remake.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48HE WHISPERS
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Very well done. Look at that, down to 10. Superb.
0:15:50 > 0:15:5426 is your total. You are into round two.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Well played, Mark.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59To create something again or to create it differently.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- Thank you very much indeed. Now, Susan...- Hi.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Welcome to Pointless. It's great to have you here. Now, Susan, I want to
0:16:05 > 0:16:06- ask you several things.- Yes?
0:16:06 > 0:16:09You made the cross over into comedy from corporate law.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- Yes.- What was the moment when you suddenly thought, "Oh, this is...
0:16:12 > 0:16:14"I'm going to give it all up, I'm going to go into..."
0:16:14 > 0:16:16I had an early mid-life crisis.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I had my 30th birthday and I thought,
0:16:18 > 0:16:22"I really want to be a comedian and if I don't try now,
0:16:22 > 0:16:23"I'm never going to do it."
0:16:23 > 0:16:27I started doing comedy and six months later
0:16:27 > 0:16:29walked into my boss' office,
0:16:29 > 0:16:33slammed my letter of resignation on the desk and said,
0:16:33 > 0:16:35"I'm going to be a star!"
0:16:35 > 0:16:36Eight years later,
0:16:36 > 0:16:40I have finally started getting paid for being a comedian.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44It's what I've always wanted to do from a very young age.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49I just thought, "Do you know what? Life's too short. Just go for it."
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- So I did.- Brilliant. Now, if you can score 44 or less,
0:16:52 > 0:16:53you are into the next round.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Everyone's answers have been tremendous and very low scoring
0:16:57 > 0:17:00and this is terrifying.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02I'm going to say partake.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Partake. There is your...
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- Small murmur.- Small murmur.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09It's a good murmur. There's your red line.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Below that red line, round two.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Let's see how many of our 100 people said partake.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17It's right.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- You're in round two.- Well done!
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- 15.- Well done.
0:17:24 > 0:17:2715, taking your total up to 18.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28Very well done indeed.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Very well played, Susan.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Yeah, partake is a Scottish football team - Partake Thistle.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- Do you have one? - I do.- Go on.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Mandrake.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- A pointless answer. - Very well done. Fantastic.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44I thought that might have got a bigger round of applause,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- but there we are.- We can dub that on later along with the laughs.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48There's loads of good pointless answers here.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51There's loads of very familiar words that are pointless answers.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Let's take a look at a few of them.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Cheesecake. A pointless answer.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02Clambake. Cupcake, which is of course what you call me.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Fishcake - what a fish gets on its birthday.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Handmake is a pointless answer.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Matchmake. Also, bookmake is a pointless answer.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Caretake is a pointless answer.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- Oatcake!- Oatcake, a pointless...
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- Oatcake!- Oatcake, you see? Reawake. Stocktake.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Loads of pointless answers. Well done if you got one of those.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Let's take a look at the top three answers,
0:18:20 > 0:18:24the ones that most of our 100 people said when we asked them online.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Lake, 82.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26Some very high scorers here.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Take, 88.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30And 89 for make.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Thank you very much indeed. We're at the end of our first round
0:18:33 > 0:18:36and I'm afraid to say the pair we have to say goodbye to,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38with their high score of 48... It's not that high a score.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40But, Nancy and Matt, it is you.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Good answers from both of you, just not low scoring enough.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- Of course.- We'll see you again next time, I hope.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Thanks very much for playing. Nancy and Matt.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58And so we are down to three pairs.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01At the end of this round we will have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Well done, everyone. You've seen off our newcomers.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07There's at least one player on each team who has played before
0:19:07 > 0:19:10and that's how you treated our newcomers, so thanks very much.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12- Sorry.- Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Our category for round two this evening is...
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Children's Books.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Can you all decide in your pairs
0:19:20 > 0:19:23who's going first and who's going second. And whoever's going first,
0:19:23 > 0:19:25please step up to the podium.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31OK, and the question concerns...
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Mr Men and Little Miss series in French.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40- What?!- What?!- Mr Men and Little Miss series in French.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Yes, it's a lovely one, this. On each board we're going to show you
0:19:43 > 0:19:45six translations in French of books
0:19:45 > 0:19:47in the Mr Men or Little Miss series.
0:19:47 > 0:19:52You need to tell us what their original titles in English were.
0:19:52 > 0:19:546 on each board, 12 in all to have a go at home.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Very best of luck and, as always,
0:19:56 > 0:19:59I look forward to your French pronunciation.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Thank you very much indeed. OK, so we are looking for the English
0:20:02 > 0:20:05titles of these books, please. Here is our first board of six.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06On it we have...
0:20:06 > 0:20:08HE READS THE TITLES
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Now...
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Susan.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Yes?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36This is quite the turn up for the books, isn't it?
0:20:36 > 0:20:40- Fun, though.- Books and French, my!
0:20:40 > 0:20:46- My!- OK, I'm going to go for Madame Noel, Little Miss Christmas.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Little Miss Christmas, says Susan.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Let's see if it's right and how many of our 100 knew that answer.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55It's right.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- 56.- It's a big answer.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04It's not bad. 56. Remember, it's no longer a words round.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06That's a normal score.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Yes, first published in 2005.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11She is Father Christmas' niece.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15She lives next door to him in an igloo in the North Pole.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Sharron? Now, then.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Just like Susan, my French isn't particularly good.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27I can order a cup of coffee in many languages, but that's about it.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28In that case we're going to have to
0:21:28 > 0:21:31go with the obvious one just to be safe. Sorry, Mark.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Little Miss Princess, I think.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Little Miss Princess, says Sharron. Let's see if it's right.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Let's see how many of our 100 people said Little Miss Princess.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42It's right.
0:21:46 > 0:21:4944! 44.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Because it seemed too easy.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Yeah, a lot of people having trouble with that translation.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59What could it be(?)
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Diane, you are the last person to have this board.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03Do you want to talk me through it?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Do you know what's really interesting?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07When you said children's books, I thought, "That's great!"
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Then it was French and my heart sank.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14- Oh, no. - So, I'm just going to go for...
0:22:14 > 0:22:15It's too painful.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Mr Sneezy.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21- The bottom one.- Mr Sneezy. Let's see if it's right.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25Let's see how many of our 100 people said Mr Sneezy.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Oh, no!
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- Diane, I'm afraid... - Oh, Mr Sneeze.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35I'm afraid that's a really...
0:22:35 > 0:22:39That's a very harshly judged but, I'm afraid, a wrong answer.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Do you know what? I'm in round two, I'm so happy.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43It scores you 100 points.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46As you know, there's a nation of eight-year-old children saying it's
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Mr Sneeze, not Mr Sneezy, I'm afraid.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51We can't take it. We need the official titles.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54It's not fair on everyone else if we do. It's the only Mr Man
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- without any arms.- That's very unfair, given he sneezes.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- So how does he wipe his nose? - Quite.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03If any Mr Man should have arms, you would think Mr Sneeze would.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06He also lives... Well, very near the North Pole.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Now, shall we fill in the rest of these with your rudimentary French?
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Monsieur Farceur?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14He's... He's Mr...
0:23:14 > 0:23:18It's a pointless answer. I imagine some people would have said...
0:23:18 > 0:23:20It's actually Mr Mischief.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- Oh, Mischief!- Very well done if you said that.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25That's the best answer on the board.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29- Monsieur Parfait?- Mr Perfect. - Mr Perfect, of course.
0:23:29 > 0:23:3234 points for that. Monsieur Heureux?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34- Mr Happy.- Yeah, Mr Happy.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Only 18 points, though.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38A very good answer. Monsieur Atchoum, of course,
0:23:38 > 0:23:39Mr Sneeze and it would have scored
0:23:39 > 0:23:41- you 8 points.- So close!
0:23:41 > 0:23:45It scored so few because so many of our 100 said Sneezy as well
0:23:45 > 0:23:47and we have to take Sneeze.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50There we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:23:52 > 0:23:5444 was the best score of that pass.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Well done. Sharron and Mark looking very strong at this point.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58Then up to 56, Susan and Gyles.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Then up to 100, where we find Diane and Richard.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Richard, a well-chosen answer from you could be enough to keep you
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- in the game.- It's what we need. - Best of luck with that.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:24:13 > 0:24:17We're going to put six more book titles in French up on the board
0:24:17 > 0:24:20and here they are. We have got...
0:24:20 > 0:24:22HE READS THE TITLES
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Richard, there you are on 100. We need a low score from you.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Oh, gosh. I sort of could translate them but I don't know if I could
0:24:46 > 0:24:50translate them into their Mr Man, Little Miss thingies...
0:24:50 > 0:24:53The top one that I would go for, Mr Snow.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- Mr Snow... - Yeah.- ..says Richard.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58No red line for you as you're the high scorers.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Let's see how far down the column we can get with Mr Snow.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04It's right.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Oh, it's a good answer. Look at that. 21. Very well done indeed.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14You could have kept yourselves in the game.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- 121 is your total.- Well played, Richard. Mr Snow is a book all about
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- my old geography teacher. That's nice, isn't it?- What's he up to now?
0:25:21 > 0:25:22Well, according to this,
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Father Christmas brought him to life to help him deliver presents.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Interesting, there we are. Thank you, Richard.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Now then, Mark, you are on 44.
0:25:31 > 0:25:3476 or less gets you through.
0:25:34 > 0:25:39- How good's your French?- I swam for a French team years ago but I didn't
0:25:39 > 0:25:42use any of these words. I think I'm going to be sensible
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- and go with Mr Small. - For?
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- Monsieur Petit. - OK, here is your red line.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52If you can get below this red line with Mr Small,
0:25:52 > 0:25:53you are into the head-to-head.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Let's see how many of our 100 people said Mr Small.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00It's right. And you've done it.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03Narrowly.
0:26:03 > 0:26:0665, taking your total up to 109.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Yeah, that's all you had to do.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Playing it safe. He had half a pea and a crumb for tea.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- Aww.- That's nice. From the Heston Blumenthal restaurant.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Yeah.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Thanks very much. Now, then, Gyles, your target is 64.
0:26:21 > 0:26:2364 or less and you are into the head-to-head.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- Talk us through the board, Gyles. - I'll talk you through the board.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30Madame Anniversaire could be Little Miss Birthday.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34Next one down, I was going to say would be Mr Greedy, as in glutton.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Monsieur Bing.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39I'm not sure about Mr Bing at all.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41I'm going to go for Monsieur Chatouille
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- and say it's Mr Tickle. - Mr Tickle for Monsieur Chatouille.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Here is your red line. If you get below that with Tickle, you are
0:26:47 > 0:26:50through to the next round. How many of our 100 people said Tickle?
0:26:50 > 0:26:51Ah!
0:26:52 > 0:26:53It's right!
0:26:54 > 0:26:56You're through!
0:27:00 > 0:27:02- 4! Well done.- Very well done indeed.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Takes your total up to 60.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Very well played, Gyles.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10We won't look into why you know the French word for tickle,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13but you certainly do know it.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Now, you were right about Little Miss Birthday.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20It would have scored you more points - it would have been 33.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23You are right about Mr Greedy as well.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25That would have scored you 40.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Now, Mr Bing, it's Mr Search Engine.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30LAUGHTER
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- No, it's not. - Of course it's not!
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Do you know what it is? Bounce.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Mr Bounce.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- Well done. - Best answer there, 2 points.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:27:43 > 0:27:46That would have been nice. That would have been lovely.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51At the end of our second round, the pair we have to say goodbye to,
0:27:51 > 0:27:54with their score of 121, Richard and Diane,
0:27:54 > 0:27:57I'm so sorry it's you. You were so nearly so brilliant there.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Mr Sneezy, I'm sorry. We will see you, I hope, another time.
0:28:01 > 0:28:06- We'd love to.- Please come back again. Thank you.- Bye, folks.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09But for Sharron and Mark, Gyles and Susan,
0:28:09 > 0:28:11it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Congratulations, Gyles and Susan, Sharron and Mark.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20You are now one step closer to the final
0:28:20 > 0:28:23and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25which currently stands at £2,500.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31So this is the bit where we have to decide who goes through to play for
0:28:31 > 0:28:34that jackpot, and we do that by making you go head-to-head.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37You can now confer before you give your answers, which is nice.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39You can chat before you give your answers.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Well done to all four of you, but a particular well done to Susan.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47- Thanks.- Your first appearance on this show.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Straight through, not just to the head-to-head,
0:28:49 > 0:28:52but as part of our golden couple.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56I like the way you're calling us that, the golden couple.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- We're thinking of doing a tour, aren't we?- Yes.- Oh, but you should.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02- As the Golden Couple. - Absolutely.- Perfect.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Let's play the head-to-head.
0:29:10 > 0:29:15Here is your first question and it concerns...
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- What?!- Animal parents.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- Richard.- We're going to show you some pictures now of animals
0:29:21 > 0:29:24with their offspring. All you have to do is identify the animals.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28We're going to give you the first and last letters as well.
0:29:28 > 0:29:29So what are these animals?
0:29:29 > 0:29:33OK, let's reveal our animal parents. Here they are. We have got...
0:29:58 > 0:30:01There we are, five animals with their parents.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Now, Gyles and Susan, you've been our low scorers throughout the show,
0:30:04 > 0:30:05so you will go first.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Yes, and Susan, of course, knows the answer.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12She's very much in touch with the animal world.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- Do you want to go...? Go for that one.- Go, go...
0:30:15 > 0:30:16OK, OK.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Go for the last one. Go for E.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20E is capybara.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- The capybara.- Yep.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23The capybara, say Gyles and Susan.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Now, then, Sharron and Mark,
0:30:26 > 0:30:29do you fancy talking us through all those animals and their young?
0:30:29 > 0:30:32We could try. That's the one we were going to go for.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34That's the one you were going to go for, not me.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36D is sea otter.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38New Zealand fur seal.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Bison.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42We're not sure about B.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46- New Zealand fur seal.- New Zealand fur seal, say Sharron and Mark.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49So we have capybara and we have New Zealand fur seal. Gyles and Susan,
0:30:49 > 0:30:53capybara, let's see how many of our 100 people got that for E.
0:30:55 > 0:30:56It's right.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- 18.- You did it again.
0:31:06 > 0:31:0918 for capybara. Very good indeed.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Sharron and Mark have gone for New Zealand fur seal.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:31:21 > 0:31:2351.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Which means very well done, Gyles and Susan.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27After one question you are up 1-0.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30There is only one answer there that would have beaten capybara.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33A is bison.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34That is a cute baby, isn't it?
0:31:34 > 0:31:3676 points.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39It looks like it has been bought in a shop.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Perhaps it has been.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44D, of course, is the sea otter.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47That would have scored you 62. Cute, too.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49B is the best answer.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50It's a giraffe, of course.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52What sort of giraffe?
0:31:52 > 0:31:53I would go for Ugandan...
0:31:53 > 0:31:54Ugandan giraffe.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Not much else can fit there.
0:31:56 > 0:31:587 points. Very well done if you said that.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00There you are. Thank you, Richard.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Here comes your second question. Sharron and Mark,
0:32:02 > 0:32:05you have to win this one. You get to answer it first.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Our second question is all about...the weather.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10It's about the weather. Richard.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Going to show you five clues to facts about the weather.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Give us the most obscure answer.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Let's reveal our five clues and here they come. We have got...
0:32:18 > 0:32:19HE READS THE CLUES
0:32:39 > 0:32:41I'll read them all one last time.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Now, Sharron and Mark, you will go first.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07We're not really sure, so we're going to go with safe...
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Well, hopefully it's safe.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Carol Kirkwood, the BBC Breakfast weather presenter.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Carol Kirkwood. OK, now, then,
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Gyles and Susan, the rest of the board is yours.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- Do you want to talk us through it? - We are ready to talk you through it.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22We had got Carol Kirkwood.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25The next one could be the Beaufort scale.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29Shipping forecast and then the vast storm - Mars?
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- Possibly.- I would go for the Beaufort one cos we both said that
0:33:32 > 0:33:34at the same time.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- Beaufort.- You're going to go with the Beaufort scale.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40- The Beaufort scale.- I think it's best just to cut to the chase.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42We have Carol Kirkwood and the Beaufort scale.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Sharron and Mark have gone for Carol Kirkwood.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Let's see how many of our 100 people said Carol Kirkwood.
0:33:50 > 0:33:51It's right.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56It is a good answer. Look at that. Still going down.
0:33:56 > 0:33:5810. Very well done indeed. Great answer there.
0:34:01 > 0:34:02The lovely Carol Kirkwood.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Now, Gyles and Susan have gone for the Beaufort scale.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09Let's see how many of our 100 people said the Beaufort scale.
0:34:12 > 0:34:13It's right.
0:34:16 > 0:34:1744!
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Very well done. Sharron and Mark, you're back in the game.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27The fabulous Carol Kirkwood is the best answer on the board.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29- Wow.- You could not have beaten her.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31The names of the lines are isobars.
0:34:33 > 0:34:3455 points for that.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36It is the Shipping Forecast.
0:34:37 > 0:34:3948 for that.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41And the vast storm is on Jupiter.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43That would have scored 30.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Thanks very much. Here comes your third question.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49It's come down to a decider, as I'm sure we all knew it would.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for the jackpot
0:34:52 > 0:34:54for their charity. So best of luck to both pairs.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Our third question this evening is all about...Greek food.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59- Brilliant.- Greek food. Richard.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02I'm going to show you the names of five dishes associated
0:35:02 > 0:35:05with Greek cuisine. We've missed out alternate letters from each one.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Can you fill in those gaps, please? Very best of luck, both teams.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Thank you very much, Richard.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14Let's reveal our five Greek dishes with bites taken out.
0:35:14 > 0:35:15We have got...
0:35:15 > 0:35:17HE READS THE LETTERS
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Gyles and Susan will go first.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Just to let you know, Greek food... I have never had Greek food.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39- Oh, it's lovely.- I dislike Greek food because I have never had it,
0:35:39 > 0:35:44so I'm putting myself into Gyles' hands.
0:35:44 > 0:35:45You think the second bottom one is?
0:35:45 > 0:35:48- I know what that is.- Say it.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Souvlaka. S-O-U-V-L-A-K-A.
0:35:51 > 0:35:57Souvlaka. Souvlaka, say Gyles and Susan.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Sharron and Mark?
0:36:00 > 0:36:03We're thinking the top one is koffee.
0:36:03 > 0:36:04- Feta.- Feta, yeah.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07We are not sure about the second one. We think it's along the lines
0:36:07 > 0:36:10of taramasalata or something but can't think of the word.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13So the one we're going to go for is bakala.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16Bakala. OK, well, let's put those to the test.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Souvlaka, let's see if that is right
0:36:19 > 0:36:22and how many of our 100 people said souvlaka.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Oh, no!
0:36:27 > 0:36:29- No!- Gyles!- No!
0:36:29 > 0:36:33I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, there's been a mistake.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37We should all have gone for the wretched feta cheese.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Sharron and Mark...
0:36:39 > 0:36:43Sharron and Mark meanwhile have gone for bakala.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Let's see if bakala is right and how many people said it.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50No, I'm afraid...
0:36:50 > 0:36:53So there we are. Exciting.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57After three questions, it is 1-1.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01Never has the expression "It's all Greek to me" been so appropriate.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03- Excuse me.- Quite how you spell souvlaka is moot
0:37:03 > 0:37:05because it's souvlaki.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Souvlaki. And it's baklava as well.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12Let's fill in this entire board, shall be?
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Feta, which everyone knew, would have seen you through to the final.
0:37:15 > 0:37:1774 points for that.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Souvlaki. Pieces of grilled meat on a skewer.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22That's what I said, that's what I said!
0:37:22 > 0:37:26It's a rough approximation of what you said, Gyles, you're quite right.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Baklava would have scored you 54.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30The top two are the best two.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33This is a filo pastry and it is called spanakopita.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Very well done if you said spanakopita.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38It would have scored you 3 points.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41Small meatballs are keftedes.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44It's a pointless answer. Very well done if you said that.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- That is so annoying. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:37:47 > 0:37:48It comes down to a fourth question.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Whoever wins this goes through to the final and wins the jackpot.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Best of luck to both pairs.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Our fourth question today is all about...
0:37:59 > 0:38:00Oh, Peru!
0:38:00 > 0:38:02LAUGHTER
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Peru. Richard.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07We have got five clues to facts about Peru.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Whichever team gives us the most obscure answer is going through
0:38:09 > 0:38:12to play in that final. Do be careful with your pronunciations, Gyles,
0:38:12 > 0:38:16- in this round. - OK, let's reveal our five clues.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Here they come. HE READS THE CLUES
0:38:38 > 0:38:40I'm going to read those one last time.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59There we are. Now, Sharron and Mark will go first.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03THEY WHISPER
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Yeah, I'm not sure, though.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07THEY WHISPER
0:39:11 > 0:39:15We're going to go with great mountain system, Andes.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18The Andes, say Sharron and Mark. Andes.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22Gyles and Susan, talk us through the board.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24The bottom one you think is...
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Machu Picchu, but I think
0:39:26 > 0:39:27that might be in Mexico.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30National capital city we think might be Lima.
0:39:30 > 0:39:31The camel family...
0:39:31 > 0:39:34- You said llama.- But maybe I was thinking of Lima.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Lima. OK. We're going to go for Lima.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39You're going to go for Lima.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41We have Andes and we have Lima.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Sharron and Mike went for Andes.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Let's see how many of our 100 people said the Andes.
0:39:48 > 0:39:49It is right.
0:39:51 > 0:39:5260.
0:39:54 > 0:39:5560 for the Andes.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Meanwhile, Gyles and Susan have gone for Lima,
0:39:58 > 0:40:01the national capital city. Let's see if that's right.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Let's see how many people said Lima.
0:40:05 > 0:40:06It's right.
0:40:08 > 0:40:09And it beats Andes.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Here we are. Very well done indeed.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15It means, eventually, after four questions,
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Gyles and Susan, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Very well played. Even better score for Machu Picchu.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25- Oh, is that right?- It would have scored 36 points.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28The world's highest commercially navigable lake is...
0:40:28 > 0:40:32- Everyone's heard of it.- Titicaca. - Lake Titicaca.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34It would have scored 12 points.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36The member of the camel family..
0:40:36 > 0:40:39They're not the llamas, the little fluffy llamas like poodles.
0:40:39 > 0:40:44They're called vicuna. Vicuna would have scored you 1 point.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47- Very well done if you said that at home.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round -
0:40:49 > 0:40:51I'm sorry, Sharron and Mark, it is you.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54A tremendous performance across the show.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57It's been wonderful having you here again. Come back and play again.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59- Thank you so much.- Thank you.
0:40:59 > 0:41:00Good luck, guys.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05For Gyles and Susan, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Congratulations, Gyles and Susan.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13You have fought off all the competition and you have won
0:41:13 > 0:41:16our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23- Yay!- You now have a chance to win
0:41:23 > 0:41:27our Pointless jackpot for your nominated charity. Today,
0:41:27 > 0:41:30the jackpot is standing at £2,500.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Very, very well done indeed.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39A very strong performance from each of you.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Capybara, the highlight of the entire show, I have to say, Susan.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44The cherry on the cake would be
0:41:44 > 0:41:46if you won that money for your charities.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50You get to choose your category from the four we put up on the board.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Today's choices look like this. We have got...
0:42:03 > 0:42:07Do we have more chance going for a general category like Brown Things
0:42:07 > 0:42:10or a specific one like Royal Family, Gyles?
0:42:10 > 0:42:13- You decide.- No, I will not decide, Gyles Brandreth.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16- You are the newcomer. - Do you want to go for Brown Things?
0:42:16 > 0:42:18- Let's go for Brown Things. - We're going to go for Brown Things.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- Let's go for Brown Things. - Brown Things it is.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Brown Things is one of those categories I thought,
0:42:24 > 0:42:26"That's going to be up there for a long time before anyone picks it,"
0:42:26 > 0:42:28but first show - you've gone for it.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31The very best of luck. Hopefully one of these categories will suit you.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34We're looking for one of the following three things, please.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36All very different. We're looking for any stations
0:42:36 > 0:42:39on London Underground's Bakerloo Line.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41That's the brown line on the official tube map.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Any named characters in The Da Vinci Code movie,
0:42:44 > 0:42:47made from Dan Brown's novel, the 2006 film.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50So any named characters according to IMDb.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54We're looking for any female cabinet member who shared the cabinet with
0:42:54 > 0:42:58Gordon Brown when he was Prime Minister or when he was Chancellor.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01So any female cabinet minister who served alongside Gordon Brown
0:43:01 > 0:43:04when he was Prime Minister or Chancellor, please.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06So stations on the Bakerloo Line, named characters in
0:43:06 > 0:43:10The Da Vinci Code or female cabinet members with Gordon Brown.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12- Very best of luck.- Thanks very much.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15As always, you've got up to one minute to come up with the answers.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17One of your answers has to be pointless.
0:43:17 > 0:43:21- Are you ready?- Yep.- Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24There they are now. Your time starts now.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27- Female cabinet members. - Harriet Harman.
0:43:27 > 0:43:29- Clare Short? - I don't think...
0:43:29 > 0:43:31Maybe Clare Short.
0:43:31 > 0:43:34Wendy Alexander, maybe.
0:43:34 > 0:43:37That's an obscure one. Wendy Alexander.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39I don't know.
0:43:39 > 0:43:43We've got Clare Short, Tessa Jowell, Harriet Harman.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45We think that's a bit obvious.
0:43:45 > 0:43:48- We've only got... - Margaret Beckett is a bit obvious?
0:43:48 > 0:43:51We can go for it. Margaret Beckett. Other women in the cabinet...
0:43:51 > 0:43:55- Was Diane Abbott ever in the cabinet?- No, she thought she was.
0:43:55 > 0:43:57Right, OK.
0:43:57 > 0:44:00Other women in the Labour Party...
0:44:00 > 0:44:02So many and so good.
0:44:02 > 0:44:0520 seconds.
0:44:05 > 0:44:08Other women in the Labour Party who might have been in the cabinet...
0:44:08 > 0:44:12What about Marylebone station? The obscure one.
0:44:12 > 0:44:14Queen's Park as well.
0:44:14 > 0:44:16- Queen's Park.- Is that on the Bakerloo Line?
0:44:16 > 0:44:20Why don't we do two from the bottom and one from the top?
0:44:20 > 0:44:23When we have finished time, we just have to say, do we?
0:44:23 > 0:44:25There we are. Finished time.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28Let's have your three answers. If you say which category you are
0:44:28 > 0:44:30answering, just so I don't confuse your tube station.
0:44:30 > 0:44:33Female cabinet members with Gordon Brown...
0:44:33 > 0:44:35Are you going to say...?
0:44:35 > 0:44:36I'm going to say Wendy Alexander.
0:44:36 > 0:44:38Wendy Alexander.
0:44:38 > 0:44:41I'm going to offer Tessa Jowell.
0:44:41 > 0:44:45For stations on the Bakerloo Line, if you get to...
0:44:45 > 0:44:47Do you think a lot of people said Marylebone?
0:44:47 > 0:44:50I think if you go up one you get to Queen's Park.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52- It's a bit obscure.- OK.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54Queen's Park. Of those three,
0:44:54 > 0:44:56which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:44:56 > 0:45:00It's not good to speak of any female cabinet member with Gordon Brown
0:45:00 > 0:45:02as being pointless in any way.
0:45:02 > 0:45:05If it's right, Wendy Alexander.
0:45:05 > 0:45:09- I don't know if it is right. - Least likely to be pointless?
0:45:09 > 0:45:13- Queen's Park.- OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board.
0:45:13 > 0:45:18Here they are. We have Queen's Park, Tessa Jowell and Wendy Alexander.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21Very, very best of luck. Three good answers there.
0:45:21 > 0:45:24If one of these were to carry off that jackpot for you,
0:45:24 > 0:45:25what charities are you playing for?
0:45:25 > 0:45:29- Gyles, you first.- Arthritis Research. One of the exciting things
0:45:29 > 0:45:33about Arthritis Research is amazing things are happening.
0:45:33 > 0:45:34It's a wonderful cause.
0:45:34 > 0:45:37- Susan, what about you?- I'm an ambassador for Glasgow Rape Crisis,
0:45:37 > 0:45:41which is a wonderful, smaller organisation that works with
0:45:41 > 0:45:43very vulnerable people.
0:45:43 > 0:45:47They've been going for 40 years and I'm doing whatever I can
0:45:47 > 0:45:51- to support them because it's a great organisation.- Fabulous.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54Best of luck. Two worthy charities there.
0:45:54 > 0:45:57Let's hope one of these answers wins that jackpot for them.
0:45:57 > 0:45:59In the first instance we were looking for stations
0:45:59 > 0:46:02on the Bakerloo Line. You have gone for Queen's Park.
0:46:02 > 0:46:06If this is right and if it is pointless, it will win that jackpot
0:46:06 > 0:46:07of £2,500 for your charities.
0:46:07 > 0:46:10Let's see how many of our 100 people said Queen's Park.
0:46:14 > 0:46:17- It's right.- Gyles!- It's right. All it has to be is pointless.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19If it goes all the way down to zero,
0:46:19 > 0:46:21you will leave with £2,500 for your charities.
0:46:21 > 0:46:23Down it goes. Queen's Park.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26Down into single figures. Still going down. Still going down.
0:46:26 > 0:46:27You've done it!
0:46:27 > 0:46:28Very well done indeed.
0:46:32 > 0:46:33Very well done, Gyles.
0:46:39 > 0:46:42Congratulations! Straight out of the traps there.
0:46:42 > 0:46:45Queen's Park was a pointless answer, which means you go home with that
0:46:45 > 0:46:48jackpot of £2,500 for your charities.
0:46:48 > 0:46:49Very well done indeed.
0:46:49 > 0:46:52CHEERING
0:46:52 > 0:46:54Yes, very well played.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56Your other answers - Tessa Jowell would have scored you 3 points.
0:46:56 > 0:46:59Wendy Alexander was an incorrect answer.
0:46:59 > 0:47:00She was in the Scottish Parliament.
0:47:00 > 0:47:03I like the fact that Gyles has written Royal biographies
0:47:03 > 0:47:05and decides not to go with Royals.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08He's also an MP for goodness knows how long and can't name a pointless
0:47:08 > 0:47:11cabinet minister either, but wins £2,500 with a tube station.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13That's what we call multitasking.
0:47:13 > 0:47:16Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19Stations on the Bakerloo Line first... Lots of pointless answers.
0:47:23 > 0:47:26Kensal Green, Kilburn Park, Maida Vale, North Wembley,
0:47:26 > 0:47:29South Kenton, Stonebridge Park, Warwick Avenue, Willesden Junction -
0:47:29 > 0:47:33all of those pointless. Characters in The Da Vinci Code...
0:47:40 > 0:47:42All of those pointless answers.
0:47:42 > 0:47:45Let's take a look at the female politicians
0:47:45 > 0:47:46in Gordon Brown's cabinet.
0:47:50 > 0:47:53Also could've had Ann Taylor, Baroness Amos, Baroness Ashton,
0:47:53 > 0:47:55Baroness Royall, Helen Liddell, Hilary Armstrong.
0:47:55 > 0:47:58Very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00But congratulations in the studio.
0:48:00 > 0:48:02Thank you very much indeed.
0:48:02 > 0:48:04Thanks once again to our winning players, Gyles and Susan,
0:48:04 > 0:48:08who go away with today's jackpot of £2,500 for their charities.
0:48:08 > 0:48:10APPLAUSE
0:48:10 > 0:48:13Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge
0:48:13 > 0:48:16to the test on Pointless. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...
0:48:16 > 0:48:19- Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
