0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and a very warm welcome
0:00:26 > 0:00:30to this special Euro 2016 edition of Pointless Celebrities,
0:00:30 > 0:00:34the game where we are aiming for the obscure and ignoring the obvious.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- And couple number one. - I'm Steve Wilson.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46I'm a football commentator for Match Of The Day
0:00:46 > 0:00:48and author of the latest Match Of The Day book.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51I'm Gabby Logan and I'm a BBC sports presenter.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57- Couple number two. - Hi, I'm Iain Dowie,
0:00:57 > 0:00:59ex-footballer and manager
0:00:59 > 0:01:01and most famous for scoring an own goal at Stockport.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03- AUDIENCE LAUGHS - Hi, I'm Neil Lennon.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Former player at Celtic, former manager of Celtic and Bolton.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Couple number three.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Hello, I'm Jason Mohammad
0:01:14 > 0:01:17and I'm the presenter of the BBC's Final Score.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Hi, I'm Daniel Gabbidon, ex-professional footballer.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Wales, West Ham, Cardiff, to name a few teams.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29And finally, couple number four.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33Hi, I'm Kevin Kilbane, former Republic of Ireland footballer.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Hi, I'm Stephanie Roche, current Republic of Ireland footballer
0:01:38 > 0:01:40and also playing for Sunderland Ladies.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Thanks very much to all of you.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Very warm welcome to Pointless. Lovely to have you here.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53A one-man European think tank
0:01:53 > 0:01:55who always gets his balls in the back of the net.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya!
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Hey, everybody. Good evening.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Good evening to you. Now, this is going to be a cracker, I think.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Not only is everybody here a sportsperson,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11super competitive, but as the eagle eye would have spotted,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13they all represent four nations
0:02:13 > 0:02:16that are playing in the Euro 2016 tournament.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18We've got England, we've got Northern Ireland,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20we have Wales and we have Ireland on that podium.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22So, not only are they immensely competitive
0:02:22 > 0:02:25just in and of themselves, they're also playing for their nations,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27which is going to be quite something.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29I hadn't thought of all that extra pressure on them.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Oh, it's a lot of pressure. - So much pressure!
0:02:31 > 0:02:33I'd rather be you or I in this particular situation.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Imagine standing behind one of those podiums. Terrifying.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37- And look at this.- Look at it!
0:02:37 > 0:02:40This is the real Euro 2016 trophy, the actual real one.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- You know what? I'm looking at that. - Whoop, whoop!- I know, exciting.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45It's amazing, when we had the FA Cup on before,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48there were security guards who sit in the audience
0:02:48 > 0:02:49in case you want to steal it.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I'm looking here, there is a lady in an orange jacket.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I don't think you're a security guard, madam.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56So, if we want to steal this at any point - it might be the only way
0:02:56 > 0:02:59England get their hands on it - then we should do it.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- If you distract us...- OK.- If someone gets a pointless answer.- Whoosh!
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Whoosh, straight off.- Look at that. - What do you think of it?
0:03:07 > 0:03:11I think it needs some flowers in it. AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:03:11 > 0:03:12Do you not think?
0:03:12 > 0:03:16- It's full of flowers. Literally full.- I think big tall ones, though.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- I think those pansies aren't going to cut it.- You're right.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21A few people have been on the show before.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Gabby's been on the show before.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Not only did she get through to the head-to-head,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27impressive enough in and of itself,
0:03:27 > 0:03:29she got through to the head-to-head with Robbie Savage.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- LAUGHTER - So, this is...
0:03:31 > 0:03:34this is how good she is. So, we expect great things.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Jason's been on before, got knocked out slightly earlier.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Kevin has also been in the head-to-head.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41There are some experienced Pointless hands here.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Honestly, Round One might be tricky for a couple of people.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45If you can get through to Round Two,
0:03:45 > 0:03:47everyone will be on safer ground, I promise you.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Now, as usual, all of today's questions
0:03:51 > 0:03:52have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Our contestants here are looking for
0:03:54 > 0:03:56those all-important pointless answers,
0:03:56 > 0:03:58these being answers that none of our 100 people gave.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Find one of those and we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Now, as today's show is a celebrity special, each of our celebrities
0:04:04 > 0:04:05is playing for a nominated charity.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08We start off with a jackpot of £2,500. There we are!
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22So, all you have to remember is this.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25The pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:04:25 > 0:04:26will be eliminated.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27So, just do what you can to make sure
0:04:27 > 0:04:29you are not that high-scoring pair.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31No conferring till we get to the head-to-head round.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category this evening...
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Geography, can you all decide in your pairs
0:04:40 > 0:04:42who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53OK, and the question concerns...
0:04:55 > 0:04:56A's in geography, Richard.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59On each board, we're going to show you seven clues
0:04:59 > 0:05:02to geographical locations, all of which begin with the letter A.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Can you give us the most obscure answer, please?
0:05:04 > 0:05:07It's going to be 14 in all to have a go at home. Very best of luck.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10So, we're looking for the geographical answers to these clues
0:05:10 > 0:05:11and they all begin with A.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Our first board of seven reads like this.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41I'm going to read all of those again.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- Gabby?- Hi.- Welcome back to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Now, Gabby, you just do kind of everything.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13It seems to me, just looking at your schedule for this year.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14It's a bit busy.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Well, you've got the Euros, you've then got the Olympics,
0:06:17 > 0:06:19- you've got the Invictus Games. - Mm-hm.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22You've had the Six Nations at the beginning of the year.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Your air miles are going to be very impressive by the end of this year?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Yeah, there's a lot of travel. And to interesting places.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29But fascinating places. How do you fit it in?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32You know, you've got a husband, you've got kids, you've got dogs,
0:06:32 > 0:06:34you've got chickens. You've got a whole lot of people
0:06:34 > 0:06:36that you've got to look after.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- How do you make that work?- Just a big juggle the whole time.- Yeah!
0:06:39 > 0:06:40And I live by the blackboard.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42I write the blackboard out on a Sunday night,
0:06:42 > 0:06:45so that everybody knows what they're doing in the week.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47And then when I'm away, I send the blackboard via e-mail
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- so my husband has to fill it in. - That's hilarious.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- That's how we survive - the blackboard.- Literally a blackboard.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- Yeah.- That's a really good idea. - That is a good idea.- Very good...
0:06:55 > 0:06:57I think after this, I could probably kind of
0:06:57 > 0:06:59do the controls at Heathrow or something.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02I think you could, in your sleep, I'd have thought.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Gabby, how are you feeling about geography?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I'm feeling quite good about these answers, she says.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Some of them are very, very obvious and some of them less so.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15I'm going to go for one that I hope is fairly low in the scoring.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17I'm going to go for the province in western Canada.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Alberta.- Alberta, says Gabby. Let's see if it's right.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Let's see how many of our 100 people went with Alberta.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28It is right.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30I think it's going to be
0:07:30 > 0:07:31a nice low score, Gabby.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Very well chosen. 31, well done.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Well played, Gabby.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Named after one of Queen Victoria's daughters,
0:07:40 > 0:07:42or the middle name of one of her daughters.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Gabby is here sort of representing England
0:07:44 > 0:07:47and there is some controversy on the Welsh podium as to whether
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- she should be English or Welsh. - I didn't know that.- Oh, I see.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Yeah, so we'll get to that.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I didn't know I was English today, can I just declare that?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- I'm Wenglish, so... - LAUGHTER
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- Wenglish is good.- Wenglish.- Yeah.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Iain, a warm welcome to Pointless.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Great to have you here.- Thank you. - You've been a player, a manager.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07You came to football quite late, cos you were doing
0:08:07 > 0:08:10an engineering degree and footballing in your spare time.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- I was, yes.- And you've now gone into surveying?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- This is what you do now, isn't it? - Well, yeah, I do a little
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- sideline of surveying. - That's an interesting sideline,
0:08:17 > 0:08:19can't think there are many people who do that and football.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- It's nothing to do with engineering either.- No.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- But will you be going back to football at all?- Yeah, football
0:08:24 > 0:08:28is my biggest love. I love coaching so when that opportunity pops up,
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I still do all the games at the weekend
0:08:30 > 0:08:34so it's still my biggest, first and foremost, my favourite thing.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Fantastic, do you go out to tournaments still?
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Yeah, I'll go to the Euros.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41I'm looking forward to that, I'm doing all the Northern Ireland
0:08:41 > 0:08:43games. Looking forward to seeing how they get on.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Think they've got a reasonable chance of getting out the group.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Very exciting. Now, Iain. Geography with A's.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Yeah, I'm not too bad.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Gabby having taken my first choice but there we go,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57I've got a couple there. I'm going to go with
0:08:57 > 0:08:59North African country gained independence from France -
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- Algeria.- Algeria, says Iain.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Let's see if it's right,
0:09:03 > 0:09:05let's see how many of our 100 people went with Algeria.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09It is Algeria.
0:09:09 > 0:09:1131 is our only score at this point.
0:09:12 > 0:09:1440 for Algeria.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Yes, the largest country in Africa, Algeria. Northern Ireland
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- famously played Algeria in the World Cup, one-all draw.- Thanks very much,
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Richard. Now then, Jason. Welcome back.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29What happened last time you were on?
0:09:29 > 0:09:34Well, I thought David Essex was out of the pop/culture psyche,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36it was famous celebrity West Ham United fans.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I ignored Russell Brand and Len Goodman
0:09:39 > 0:09:42and I went for David Essex and lost by two points to Logan and Savage.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45And Savage jumped around the set as if he'd won the World Cup.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Oh, I remember that! - Yeah, slightly humiliating.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Not that he hasn't got over this yet, by the way.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53This was two years ago!
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Jason, do you get to choose the matches you cover?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Is there an element of choice in there
0:09:58 > 0:09:59or do you have to go off and do what?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Well, Final Score is the fastest goal service on the television,
0:10:02 > 0:10:05so you have to do the Premier League, the Championship,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07League One, League Two and Scotland as well
0:10:07 > 0:10:09so I don't get much choice, really.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11I would like to concentrate completely on my football team
0:10:11 > 0:10:14but, unfortunately, we have to cover all the rest of the teams too.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Then in the Euros, do you have any choice?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- I'm going to be with the Wales team. - I guess you go where Wales goes.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I'm in the Wales camp, so bringing all the latest news
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- and hopefully we'll be there a lot longer than England.- Very good!
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- Nice to be there!- That went down well, didn't it?- Yeah...
0:10:28 > 0:10:29Not amongst the Wenglish.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Now, Jason, what would you like to go for on our board?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34I'm torn between the Scotland one
0:10:34 > 0:10:37and also the world's longest continental mountain range.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39I'm going to go for...
0:10:39 > 0:10:40the Andes.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43The Andes, that was for the world's longest continental mountain range.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Let's see if the Andes is right,
0:10:44 > 0:10:47let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:10:52 > 0:10:5367.
0:10:55 > 0:10:5667.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Big score, very much the David Essex
0:10:58 > 0:11:00of South American mountain ranges, the Andes.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02There we go, thank you very much indeed.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Now, Kevin, welcome back to Pointless. Good to have you here.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06You know what?
0:11:06 > 0:11:09The modern footballer, I think, has many rewards that perhaps
0:11:09 > 0:11:12older footballers might look at with envy.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15But there is one area in which I think the modern footballer
0:11:15 > 0:11:16is poorer than his predecessors
0:11:16 > 0:11:20and that is you never really get to make a record any more.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- Ah, yes.- Do you know what I mean?
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- Have you ever gone into a recording studio?- I have, actually, yes.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- And worn cans?- I have, actually.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30When I was at Preston North End, yeah.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34We won promotion years ago, actually. '96, I think it was.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37We recorded The House Of The Rising Sun by The Animals, yeah.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- Fantastic, and then released it? - It was released, yeah.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44In the Preston charts, it sold like hot cakes, I would think.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Did it trouble the chart compilers?
0:11:46 > 0:11:49I don't think so, I don't think it made the top 100. No, I think, 101,
0:11:49 > 0:11:51- it skirted on the outskirts. - Oh, I'd like to hear that!
0:11:51 > 0:11:53But, yeah, nearly.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54Well, there we are.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Now, Kevin, you are the last person to have this board.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59If you felt up to it and you're in the mood,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02you could go through and fill in all the blanks for us.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04I think I know the Scottish city.
0:12:04 > 0:12:10And I think I know the Earth's southernmost continent.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12I'll go with the Scottish city.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13I'll go with Aberdeen.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Aberdeen, says Kevin. Let's see if that's right,
0:12:15 > 0:12:17let's see how many of our 100 people said Aberdeen.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21It's right.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Ooh! 85 for Aberdeen.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25Big score there.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30A very big score, that's the Scottish getting their own back
0:12:30 > 0:12:32on the Irish for knocking them out of the Euros, Kevin.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36The self-sealed envelope was developed in Aberdeen.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- How about that for a fact? - That's...- Yeah?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- Every day is a school day, isn't it?- Yeah.- Let's fill in these.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44You would have been better going for the bottom answer,
0:12:44 > 0:12:46would have scored you slightly fewer points.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48It is Antarctica, of course. That would have scored you 73.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50The best two answers are the two that are left.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53The desert in South America is the Atacama.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Would have scored you 20. You know this next one? Southern US state.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- It's got Kansas in it and it's... - Arkansas.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02..Arkansas, would have scored 19 points, very well done
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- if you said that at home. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Gabby, what about that? 31, the best score of the pass.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Very good, Gabby and Steve looking strong contenders for Round Two.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17Then 40 is where we find Iain and Neil, then 67, Jason and Danny.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Now look, Kevin and Stephanie, you're not that far ahead on 85.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22A low score from you, Stephanie, should be enough to keep you in.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- No pressure! - Best of luck, we'll come
0:13:24 > 0:13:26back down the line now. Can the second players please
0:13:26 > 0:13:27step up to the podium?
0:13:31 > 0:13:34OK, let's put seven more clues up on the board and here they come.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Stephanie.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Welcome to Pointless, great to have you here.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35I mean, a real honour to have you here.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38You, in 2014, scored what was considered to be
0:14:38 > 0:14:40one of the best goals of the year.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Yeah.- In fact, you were shortlisted, weren't you, on a FIFA...?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Yeah, it was on the top three, actually.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- It was Rodriguez, van Persie and you.- It was.- You came second.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50I did, yeah. I didn't win, which...
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Do you know why I think you didn't win it?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55It's cos it was filmed on a mobile phone.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Video recording wasn't great, to be fair. But it was a great experience.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59We've actually got it here,
0:14:59 > 0:15:01going to have a quick look at it. Look at this.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03- It's on a mobile phone. - Filmed on a mobile phone.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04You have to remember that.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Whoa! APPLAUSE
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- What about that?- That was Iain Dowie-like in its precision.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Is the pressure on you now to come up with fancy shots?
0:15:24 > 0:15:25Yeah, I think so.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28I scored a goal last year against Germany for the Irish team,
0:15:28 > 0:15:31which was a bit of a tap-in, so I think people were wondering
0:15:31 > 0:15:33why I wasn't scoring screamers every week.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- But every goal counts, as footballers know.- Absolutely.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37That's obviously just one.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40We want a Beckham-style halfway-line score, don't we? How fantastic.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- Stephanie, you're the high scorers. - Yes.- We need a low score from you.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- How are you finding this board? - Not very great, to be honest.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49It doesn't look very good.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I was going to go for the one that's standing out the most
0:15:52 > 0:15:55and that's the microstate between France and Spain.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58I'm thinking Andorra.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59Andorra, says Stephanie.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02There's no red line for you as you're the high scorers
0:16:02 > 0:16:04but let's see how far down the column you get with Andorra.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09It's right.
0:16:12 > 0:16:1439, not bad at all.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Second lowest score of the round so far.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19124, your total. You might have done enough there, Stephanie.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21A great answer, well played.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23The one thing about people who love sport, who grew up with sport,
0:16:23 > 0:16:26is they're pretty good at countries and geography
0:16:26 > 0:16:28because Andorra, that's just like a team, yeah?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- If you know what I mean.- Yeah.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Thanks very much indeed.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- Now, Danny, welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Very good to have you here.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- Now, Danny, you retired from football in 2014.- Yes.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44And I guess there's never a good time to retire from football
0:16:44 > 0:16:47cos there's always something to look forward to.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49"Oh, there's that coming, that coming."
0:16:49 > 0:16:51But that was the start of Wales's Euro 16 campaign, wasn't it?
0:16:51 > 0:16:53How are you feeling about that?
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- Wales going through for the first time.- It's hard to describe.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Unless you're Welsh, you wouldn't understand
0:16:58 > 0:17:00what it's meant for the nation.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05I was lucky enough to be in the first couple of qualifying squads,
0:17:05 > 0:17:07so I could see what was kind of building,
0:17:07 > 0:17:10I could see the atmosphere and how the lads were feeling,
0:17:10 > 0:17:12how focused they were.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15And I wasn't really surprised that we managed to do it in the end.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19So, it's been fantastic watching what the players have been doing
0:17:19 > 0:17:23and the nation's really buzzing and looking forward to the summer.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Fantastic, will you be going out?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Yeah, I'm going to be doing some media work
0:17:27 > 0:17:31with Talksport following the Wales games and doing some commentary,
0:17:31 > 0:17:32so I'm really looking forward to it.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- Very good, and you're newly a father, I gather, Danny?- I am, yeah.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- Congratulations. - Thank you very much.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41- You taking your baby out with you? - No, he's...
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- Surprisingly, no.- He's going to stay at home, I think.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46He's only three months now,
0:17:46 > 0:17:49so he's still becoming accustomed to life and stuff.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Yeah, I'm going to go over for a couple of weeks
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- and hopefully, watch the team do really well.- Lovely.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Now, Danny, you're on 67.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- If you can score 56 or less, you're into the next round.- Yeah.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03I'm struggling a little bit here.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Need something half low.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10I'm going to go with the Belgian city that contains
0:18:10 > 0:18:13the tomb of painter Paul Rubens.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15I'm going to say Antwerp.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Antwerp, says Danny.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Antwerp, here is your red line.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Get below that with Antwerp, you're through to the next round.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23How many people said Antwerp?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26It's absolutely right.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29And it sees you through. Look at that, Danny.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Very well done indeed,
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Danny gets 28!
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Which is the lowest score of the round so far,
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- very well done. 95 your total. - Well played, Danny. Great stuff.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Again, that thing about being a sports fan.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42It might have been an obscure Belgian city
0:18:42 > 0:18:44but, you know, it's also a football team.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46And it also held the Olympics, Antwerp.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- It's always a good answer for obscure Olympic host cities.- Always.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Thank you very much, Richard. Neil, a very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- Good to have you here.- Thank you.- So you're going out for the Euros.- Yes.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00How big is the BBC team? Do you know?
0:19:00 > 0:19:04A lot of commentators, pundits. You know, radio as well.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06- You could be looking at 50, 60. - Yeah.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08I did the World Cup in Brazil in 2014
0:19:08 > 0:19:11and that was a fantastic experience, absolutely fantastic.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12How does it work?
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Will you stay out just for as long as Northern Ireland's there?
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Hopefully, yeah. All the better.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Unlike Danny, who was quite confident about Wales qualifying,
0:19:19 > 0:19:21to see Northern Ireland there,
0:19:21 > 0:19:23I never thought it would happen in my lifetime again.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26But Michael O'Neill's done wonderfully well with the players.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Fantastic, well, it's going to be very exciting.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31There you are, on 40, 83 or less gets you through, Neil.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33What are you going to go for on this board?
0:19:33 > 0:19:36I mean, I think I'm going to go for the English name
0:19:36 > 0:19:37for the Australian rock formation
0:19:37 > 0:19:39and I'm going to go for Ayers Rock.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Ayers Rock, says Neil. Here's your red line.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43If you can get below this red line with Ayers Rock,
0:19:43 > 0:19:46nice and high there, you are through to the next round.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47How many people said Ayers Rock?
0:19:50 > 0:19:53It's right and you are through, 73!
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Very well done indeed, 113 is your total. Through you go.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02Well played, Neil, safely through.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07348 metres high but used to be at the bottom of a sea, Ayers Rock.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11- Isn't that amazing? - What, they just brought it to Uluru?
0:20:11 > 0:20:13No, it simply receded. It was underwater.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Wow, I'm just absorbing that, much as the desert did the water.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- How about that, right?- Look at that.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23- Easier to reach the top when it was underwater.- Oh, much easier.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24Yeah.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26If you were snorkelling just a few feet,
0:20:26 > 0:20:27a few feet of water, Ayers Rock.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30You'd think, "It's nice and shallow here." Then, "Whoa!"
0:20:30 > 0:20:33as you got to the edge, it would suddenly fall away there.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- Yeah, yeah, different now, though. - Yeah, it's all changed now.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- Much drier.- Many, many fewer fish and chip shops as well.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43- That's exactly right.- Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Steve.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- Steve, welcome back.- Alexander.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- You're also going out for the Euros?- Yes.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51And you've done a phenomenal number of Euros so far, haven't you?
0:20:51 > 0:20:52How many have you done?
0:20:52 > 0:20:56Every one since '96, so this will be my sixth European Championship.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Wow! Do you have a favourite Championships?
0:21:00 > 0:21:02I really enjoyed the last one, actually, I have to say.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04I spent a lot of time in Warsaw,
0:21:04 > 0:21:05which was a city I hadn't been to before.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08And it's wonderful, if you ever get a chance to go to Warsaw,
0:21:08 > 0:21:09I recommend it, beautiful.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Completely rebuilt actually by the Soviets, but done brilliantly.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Really? Interesting. So, you get quite a bit of time off.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19You can kind of, between games, you can relax a bit.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22I spend my time worrying about who's playing left-back for Darlington,
0:21:22 > 0:21:23to be honest with you.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25We're all worrying about that.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Not the kind of thing that worries too many people
0:21:27 > 0:21:29on a Wednesday morning, but it worries me.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31And that's how I spend my time.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Very good. Now, Steve, you're on 31.
0:21:33 > 0:21:3592 more or less gets you through.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Should be easy.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39If you wanted to talk us through the board, feel free.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43OK, well, I'm fairly confident on the southwestern US state
0:21:43 > 0:21:46with a Z in its name.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Arizona.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51I'm struggling with the highest waterfall in Venezuela,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53if I'm honest.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I'm racking my brain, I think given time I'd probably get
0:21:56 > 0:21:59the Maryland one but it's not coming to me.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01And I'm absolutely confident that the Amazon
0:22:01 > 0:22:04is the South American river,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07because we were nearby it during the World Cup two years ago.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12- So, I'm going to go Arizona. - Arizona, says Steve.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Gabby approves. Now there's your red line, nice and high.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Get below that with Arizona, you're through to Round Two.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Let's see how many of our 100 people said Arizona.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24It's right, you're through, well done.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26With room to spare. 68!
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Taking your total up to 99.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31Well played, Steve.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34You would have been all right with the Amazon as well,
0:22:34 > 0:22:35although it would have scored more points.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Amazon scored 74.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- The highest waterfall in the world.- Angel Falls.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43It's the Angel Falls, it's in Venezuela, 38.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46And the best answer on the board is the capital of Maryland.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49It's Annapolis, Maryland.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Very well done if you said that, 14 points.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54We are at the end of our first round
0:22:54 > 0:22:57and I'm sorry to say we have to say goodbye to one of our pairs.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00It was going to have to be one pair with the highest score
0:23:00 > 0:23:02and, Kevin and Stephanie, I'm afraid it's you.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Oh, dear. I'm sorry, you've come all this way.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09But it's been wonderful having you on. Please come back and play again.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Stephanie, wonderful having you here for your first time. Both of you,
0:23:12 > 0:23:15come back and play again and do better next time. Meantime, thank
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- you very much indeed, Stephanie and Kevin.- Thank you.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29We're down to three pairs and at the end of this round,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31we'll have to say goodbye to another pair
0:23:31 > 0:23:33in time for a head-to-head round.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35It's all looking very good for Wales, I have to say.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Well done, Danny and Jason, our low scorers in that round.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Ah, Sports Personalities.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47There we are, Sports Personalities.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:23:49 > 0:23:51who's going to go second?
0:23:51 > 0:23:54And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59OK, let's find out what the question is, here it comes.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:24:11 > 0:24:12People who have finished in the top three
0:24:12 > 0:24:15of Sports Personality Of The Year more than once, Richard.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18We'll be looking for the name of any sports person who's finished
0:24:18 > 0:24:19in that top three more than once,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22from 1966 all the way through to 2015, please.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24So, anyone who has appeared in the top three more than once.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28OK, thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- Steve?- Yes.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34OK, I'm going to go with Lewis Hamilton.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Lewis Hamilton, says Steve.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Lewis Hamilton.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43He's right.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46That's not bad, it's not bad,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48well done, well done. Excellent.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49- 23.- That's brilliant.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- I'm glad you got that. - 23 for Lewis Hamilton.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Been in that top three three times and won it in 2014.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Neil.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03It's a tough one.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07I'm going to go same sport
0:25:07 > 0:25:09and Nigel Mansell.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10Nigel Mansell, says Neil.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Let's see how many of our 100 people said Nigel Mansell.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18It's right.
0:25:18 > 0:25:2023 is Steve's score.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23You passed it.
0:25:23 > 0:25:256 for Nigel Mansell.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28That'll do.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Great work there for Neil and Northern Ireland.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- He won it twice and also came third. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Now then, Danny.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Anyone who's been in the top three
0:25:39 > 0:25:42of Sports Personality Of The Year more than once.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44- Pressure's on!- Yeah.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53I'm going to go with the athlete Jessica Ennis.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Jessica Ennis, says Danny.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jessica Ennis
0:25:57 > 0:25:58or Jessica Ennis-Hill.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Well, 23 is our high score,
0:26:06 > 0:26:07which you passed.
0:26:07 > 0:26:0914, there we are.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Pretty much exactly in the middle.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16She's been in the top three four times, Jessica Ennis-Hill,
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- but she's never won it. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:26:21 > 0:26:256, Neil, well done. Best score of that pass, very impressive indeed.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Then we travel up to 14, where we find Danny and Jason.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Then 23, Steve and Gabby.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Now, Gabby, that gives you a little bit of time to think of an ace
0:26:32 > 0:26:34low score there, so good luck with that.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Going to come back down the line now.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:26:40 > 0:26:44OK, so, Jason, remember, any person who is finished in the top three
0:26:44 > 0:26:48of the Sports Personality Of The Year on more than one occasion.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52Now, Jason, you're on 14, the high scorers are Gabby and Steve on 23.
0:26:52 > 0:26:568 or less definitely keeps you in the game.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59I am going to go with Steve Davis.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Steve Davis, says Jason.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Here's your red line. Quite low.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Let's see if Steve Davis can get you
0:27:04 > 0:27:05below that red line or close to it.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Let's see how many of our 100 people said Steve Davis.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Look at that.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18- Ooh!- Very well done indeed, 9!
0:27:20 > 0:27:22I think you've done enough, takes your total up to 23.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Goodness me, no pressure on Gabby now(!) Look at that.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Yeah, he's been on the top three five times, Davis.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- Third twice, second twice and also won it.- Thanks very much, Richard.
0:27:33 > 0:27:38Now, Iain. You're on 6, your target is 16 or less.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Got a couple in my mind.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43I'm going to go with Steve Redgrave.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Steve Redgrave, says Iain. Here is your red line. If you can get
0:27:46 > 0:27:47below that with Steve Redgrave,
0:27:47 > 0:27:49you are in to the head-to-head.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51How many people said Steve Redgrave?
0:27:53 > 0:27:54It's right.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Oh, you've done it!
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Look at that, 3 for Steve Redgrave.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08A single-figure total, very well done indeed, Iain and Neil.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Tell you what, they're all very good.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13There is no mucking about here at all. That's a terrific answer.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Won it, came second and came third, Steve Redgrave.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17There we are, thanks very much indeed,
0:28:17 > 0:28:22which means, Gabby, we need a pointless answer from you.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26And then it's a draw and we'll have an exciting lockdown scenario.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Although we should probably go to penalties if...
0:28:28 > 0:28:30AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:28:30 > 0:28:32- I feel so guilty.- So you should.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37I was willing Nigel Mansell into your head as well.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39But I must have been willing it the wrong way.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42I have somebody who I think may be a pointless answer.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46I know she's won it, I don't know if she's been in the top three.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48My thinking is that Sports Personality
0:28:48 > 0:28:50has a habit of kind of...
0:28:50 > 0:28:52an Olympic year, Olympians dominate
0:28:52 > 0:28:54and this person's an Olympian and did she...?
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Would she have made it in two Olympic years?
0:28:57 > 0:28:59I don't know if she will have done, sorry.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03If I can get a pointless answer, it will go to the top of my CV.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06So, she keeps coming into my head.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10- I'm going to say Liz McColgan. - Liz McColgan.- That's a good answer.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14- She's gone for it!- Wow, I used to love Atomic Kitten.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Liz McColgan.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20You're just going to have to take my word for the fact
0:29:20 > 0:29:22- that there is a red line there. - Yeah, got it.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Let's see if you can get down the column with that.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Best of luck, Liz McColgan, it's exciting.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29No.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33- Oh, bad luck!- Can I tell you
0:29:33 > 0:29:35who I was going to say? Dame Mary Peters.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36Well, there you are.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38I'm afraid that scored you 100 points,
0:29:38 > 0:29:41takes your total up to 123, I'm sorry to say.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Yeah, she won it once but was never in the top three again.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46- What about Dame Mary Peters? - Exactly the same.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48The person I thought you were going to say,
0:29:48 > 0:29:50- talking about an Olympian, Fatima Whitbread.- Ah.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52She was a pointless answer.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Quite a few pointless answers. Before we go to them,
0:29:54 > 0:29:56I'll take you through some of the low scorers.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59You would have got 3 points for Henry Cooper, Linford Christie
0:29:59 > 0:30:00and Damon Hill.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03You'd have got 2 points for Michael Owen, it'd have scored
0:30:03 > 0:30:05you 2 points, as would Bobby Moore and Daley Thompson.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Would've got 1 for Sally Gunnell, would've been a great answer,
0:30:08 > 0:30:111 for Darren Clarke and 1 for Freddie Flintoff and Denise Lewis.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12But here are the pointless answers,
0:30:12 > 0:30:15all of these would have seen you into a tie-break.
0:30:15 > 0:30:16Colin Jackson, pointless answer.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18David Wilkie, the swimmer.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21Ellen MacArthur never won it but was in the top three twice.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26Steve Cram, also a pointless answer. One last pointless answer...
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Take a look at the top three,
0:30:29 > 0:30:31the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33All fairly low scorers in this round.
0:30:39 > 0:30:40Thanks very much, Richard.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42So at the end of our second round,
0:30:42 > 0:30:44the pair we have to send home with a high score of 123,
0:30:44 > 0:30:47I'm so sorry, Gabby and Steve, it's you.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Do you know what? That means that Wales last longer in the Euros.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53I'm actually quite happy about that, so that's fine, that's fine.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55It also means it turns out that Robbie Savage
0:30:55 > 0:30:57was doing all the hard work last time.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Yeah. LAUGHTER
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- Have I done worse than Robbie Savage?- Yes!- Yeah.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Oh, dear, it's been lovely having you on. Come and play again.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08- Thank you.- Gabby and Steve, thanks for playing.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11But for Neil and Iain, Danny and Jason,
0:31:11 > 0:31:13it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Congratulations, Danny and Jason, Neil and Iain.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play
0:31:23 > 0:31:26for our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,500.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31We've reached the point where we have to decide
0:31:31 > 0:31:34who goes through to the final to play for that jackpot
0:31:34 > 0:31:36and we do that by making you go head-to-head.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38The difference is you can now confer before you give your answers
0:31:38 > 0:31:40and the first pair to win two questions
0:31:40 > 0:31:44will be playing for that jackpot. This is going to be so hard-fought.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Danny and Jason, our low scorers, but Neil and Iain,
0:31:47 > 0:31:51your answers in the last round were phenomenal, a total of 9.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54- It's your Euro final here. - Can you imagine if it was?
0:31:54 > 0:31:57- Wouldn't that be amazing? - It would be amazing.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59- What's that cup made of, Richard?- This?- Yeah.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- You know the tinfoil you get in the kitchen?- Yeah.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- It's that over cardboard. No, it's made of silver.- Is it really?
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Yeah, yeah. That's why I'm going to nick it on the way out.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10And I've thought of the perfect place to hide it
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- that no-one will ever find it. - Where?
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Fulham's trophy room. Don't you think?
0:32:15 > 0:32:17LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Oh, yeah.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Can you imagine if Wales or Northern Ireland
0:32:22 > 0:32:24or Ireland or England win it?
0:32:24 > 0:32:25- Then we'll like it.- No, I can't.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28- I genuinely can't see that happening.- It's possible.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31- It could happen!- You know, Greece won it, Denmark won it.- Yeah, true.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Who's to say? It literally could be anybody. Ah! So excited.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- Wouldn't that be exciting? - It would be amazing.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Here is your first question and it concerns...
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Famous Swedes. Richard?
0:32:53 > 0:32:55We're going to show you five pictures now
0:32:55 > 0:32:56of famous people born in Sweden.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Can you identify the most obscure of these?
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Thanks, Richard. Let's reveal our five famous Swedes
0:33:01 > 0:33:02and here they come.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34There you go, five famous Swedes.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Danny and Jason, you've been our low scorers so far
0:33:37 > 0:33:38so you will go first.
0:33:39 > 0:33:40What do you think?
0:33:40 > 0:33:42I definitely don't know A and D.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46I know A, I'm sure.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49- You know A, do you?- I've seen him.
0:33:49 > 0:33:50Danny thinks he knows A. Come on!
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Can't think what his name is.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Is he a singer?
0:33:55 > 0:33:59We're going to go B, Bjorn Borg.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01B, Bjorn Borg, say Danny and Jason.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Now, Neil and Iain.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Do you fancy talking us through the whole board?
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Having a pop at each of them?
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Sven, C.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13E is Britt Ekland.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18I don't think A is Kevin Anderson.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Trying to think who it is.
0:34:20 > 0:34:21We're debating whether D
0:34:21 > 0:34:22had anything to do with
0:34:22 > 0:34:24the Nobel Peace Prize.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27We don't know her first name anyway.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29- No, let's go E. - We'll go E, Britt Ekland.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31You're going to go Britt Ekland for E.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33So we have Bjorn Borg and we have Britt Ekland.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Now, Danny and Jason have Bjorn Borg,
0:34:35 > 0:34:36let's see if that's right for B.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:34:41 > 0:34:42It's right.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47HE SIGHS Score of 72 for Bjorn Borg.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Neil and Iain meanwhile have gone for Britt Ekland for E.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53Let's see if that's right,
0:34:53 > 0:34:56let's see how many of our 100 people said Britt Ekland.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00It is Britt Ekland.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02And it wins you the point,
0:35:02 > 0:35:03very well done indeed, look at that.
0:35:05 > 0:35:0621.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Which means very well done, Neil and Iain.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13- After one question, you are up one-nil.- Well played, gents.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15Let's fill in the rest of this board.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17A is the DJ Avicii.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19- No, is it?- Yeah, one point for that.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Very well done if you said that.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22Would never have got that.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24C is Sven Goran Eriksson.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Scores fewer points than Bjorn Borg, scores you 59.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30And D, if you look very closely, guys,
0:35:30 > 0:35:31I'm surprised you didn't get it.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- It's a very young Henrik Larsson. - THEY LAUGH
0:35:35 > 0:35:38It's not, really. It's the opera star Jenny Lind.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Jenny Lind and she would have scored you 5 points.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42- Very well done if you said that at home.- Thanks.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44OK, so here comes your second question.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Now, Neil and Iain get to answer this one first but, Danny and Jason,
0:35:47 > 0:35:50you have to win this one to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Our second question concerns...
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Picnic items, Richard.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Going to show you the names of five things you might expect to find
0:35:59 > 0:36:01in a picnic but they are in anagram form,
0:36:01 > 0:36:03can you unscramble them, please? Good luck.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07Let's reveal our five anagrams and here they come. We've got...
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Neil and Iain, you'll go first.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Sandwiches. It's sandwiches.
0:36:32 > 0:36:33Yeah, so!
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Anagrams are not good for us.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39It's not a good round for us.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41We'll go with sandwiches for the bottom one.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44OK, wish dances, sandwiches.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Now then, Danny and Jason,
0:36:46 > 0:36:49do you want to have a punt at any of the others?
0:36:53 > 0:36:54What are you thinking?
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Cheese, grate, pickle.
0:36:56 > 0:36:57I don't see any.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59There's definitely no cheese up there, Dan!
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Oh, this is awful. This is painful.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06We're going to be kicking ourselves.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Yeah, we're going to be kicking ourselves
0:37:08 > 0:37:10all the way back to Cardiff.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- I can't see any, I can't see an answer.- No.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- We got one, we got one. - HE LAUGHS
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- What?- Finally.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- We're going to say scones. - AUDIENCE: Yes!
0:37:29 > 0:37:30APPLAUSE
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Thank you. Finally.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Well, I guess if you wait long enough,
0:37:37 > 0:37:38anything's going to come, isn't it?
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- The problem was that there was no Welsh cakes on the board. - That's right.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Scones, say Danny and Jason.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46OK, so we have sandwiches and scones.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49Neil and Iain went for sandwiches, wish dances,
0:37:49 > 0:37:50let's see if that's right.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Let's see how many of our 100 people got sandwiches.
0:37:57 > 0:37:58Sandwiches is right.
0:38:00 > 0:38:0246 for sandwiches.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Danny and Jason have gone for scones.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Let's see if that's right for no secs.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Let's see how many of our 100 people said scones.
0:38:16 > 0:38:17It's right.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Oh, 47 for scones!
0:38:23 > 0:38:24No way!
0:38:24 > 0:38:28Well, you found an answer but very well done indeed.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Neil and Iain, you go straight through to the final.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- After two questions, two-nil. - Yeah, very well played.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- Now, that's a tough board.- They are! - Those other three are tough.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40- Seagulls soar, any ideas? - I got that one, sausage rolls.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Sausage rolls is seagulls soar. Well done if you said that.
0:38:43 > 0:38:4710 points for that. Now the other two, lava suck fum.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- It's a piece of equipment rather than a food.- Vacuum.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- It's a vacuum... - Flask.- Vacuum flask, yes.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55That would have scored you 7.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57And the other one is also a piece of equipment.
0:38:59 > 0:39:00It's a very low scorer.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02- It's a cool bag.- Oh, no!
0:39:02 > 0:39:06It would have scored you 1 point. That should be easy, right, that?
0:39:06 > 0:39:08That was so impossible to see.
0:39:08 > 0:39:09Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round
0:39:12 > 0:39:14I'm afraid is our Welsh team, Danny and Jason.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16- As you said, no Welsh cakes on there.- Absolutely.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18It's not a picnic!
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Danny, it's been lovely having you on, Jason.
0:39:21 > 0:39:22Please come and play again
0:39:22 > 0:39:24but I'm sorry we have to say goodbye to you now.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26A very impressive performance across the show.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Danny and Jason, everybody!
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Well done, well played.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33But for Neil and Iain, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Congratulations, Neil and Iain.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40You've seen off all the competition
0:39:40 > 0:39:43and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:39:51 > 0:39:52for your chosen charities.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56And at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,500.
0:40:00 > 0:40:01Well, what about that?
0:40:01 > 0:40:03You've seen off the Republic of Ireland,
0:40:03 > 0:40:06you've seen off England, you've seen off Wales and yeah,
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Northern Ireland through to the final
0:40:08 > 0:40:11of this Euro 2016 edition of Pointless.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13- This bodes very well, doesn't it?- Very.
0:40:13 > 0:40:14I've never been so nervous, though.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17I've done a lot of things in my career but coming here
0:40:17 > 0:40:20- and standing here, I've been shaking all afternoon.- Really?
0:40:20 > 0:40:22- I'm all right now. - Oh, a very assured performance.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24The worst bit, when you give an answer, I look over at Richard
0:40:24 > 0:40:27and he's looking like you've said something,
0:40:27 > 0:40:29you've committed a heinous crime.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31He's looking at you thinking, "It must be wrong."
0:40:31 > 0:40:35- It's just my natural look, Iain. I'm sorry.- It was quite frightening.
0:40:35 > 0:40:36Well, very, very best of luck.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Is there anything you badly don't want to see
0:40:39 > 0:40:40come up on the board this round?
0:40:40 > 0:40:43- Been tough anyway, hasn't it, really?- Yeah, it has.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47- Medieval history, I think.- OK. Well, let's hope that's not up.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50You get to choose, as always, from four options that we put up there.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54Let's see what's on the board for today's selection and we have got...
0:41:06 > 0:41:11- Right.- Podium finishers?- Yeah, I think that might be. Royalty's off.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Are you any good? I'm not the greatest on that.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17- Are you good at rock music? Because I'm useless.- Modern rock music K's.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19US crime writers a little bit but I think podium finishers,
0:41:19 > 0:41:22- we'll have a better go at that one. - Yeah.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Podium finishers in 2015.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- OK, podium finishers it is, Richard. - OK. Very best of luck, gents.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Three very different sports here.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Hopefully, one of these questions suits you.
0:41:31 > 0:41:32We're looking for the name of
0:41:32 > 0:41:34any athlete who won a medal of any colour
0:41:34 > 0:41:37at the Athletic World Championships in Beijing, in 2015.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40We're looking for any driver who finished on the podium
0:41:40 > 0:41:42during the 2015 F1 season.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45So, anyone who finished in the top three in any Grand Prix.
0:41:45 > 0:41:46Or we're looking for...
0:41:49 > 0:41:51..apart from the UK.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54So, athletes who won a medal at the World Championships, any colour,
0:41:54 > 0:41:56any driver who finished on the podium
0:41:56 > 0:41:57in the 2015 Formula One season
0:41:57 > 0:42:01and any country that won a medal at the 2015 Aquatics Championships.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04Very best of luck, gents. Best of luck to all of Northern Ireland,
0:42:04 > 0:42:05their hopes are resting on you.
0:42:05 > 0:42:06Thanks very much.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09You've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers
0:42:12 > 0:42:14- to be pointless. Are you ready?- Yes.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:42:16 > 0:42:17There they are, your time starts now.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Rutherford won gold. That won't
0:42:20 > 0:42:22- be pointless?- No.- Any driver?
0:42:22 > 0:42:23Nico Hulkenberg.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25- Hulkenberg.- I think he's on there.
0:42:25 > 0:42:26There's some other ones?
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Bottas!
0:42:28 > 0:42:32- Bottas with Williams. - Di Resta?- Paul Di Resta.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34He didn't finish on the podium, though.
0:42:34 > 0:42:39- And then countries won a medal at the Aquatics.- Hungary, Holland.
0:42:39 > 0:42:40Hungary are good swimmers.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42It's quite obscure.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Erm... I know Hungary...
0:42:44 > 0:42:46I think, any other driver.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48People like that though, don't they?
0:42:48 > 0:42:49Yes.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51What do you call him?
0:42:51 > 0:42:53He did, didn't he? What's the boy?
0:42:53 > 0:42:56- Red Bull, the young kid. He got a podium finish.- Italian?
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Yeah, the young... I forgot his name now.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Can you think of any more athletes?
0:43:01 > 0:43:02Yeah.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06- Have to be.- What's her name?
0:43:07 > 0:43:08- 10 seconds left.- JT.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10Oh, that girl.
0:43:10 > 0:43:14Done the... Number two, the hurdles.
0:43:14 > 0:43:15She was on the podium.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21OK, that is your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23What would you like to go for?
0:43:23 > 0:43:25Countries that won a medal at the Aquatics Championship,
0:43:25 > 0:43:28- we're going to go Hungary.- Hungary.
0:43:28 > 0:43:32- We're going to go Nico Hulkenberg. - Nico Hulkenberg...
0:43:32 > 0:43:33For Formula One.
0:43:35 > 0:43:39- Max Verstappen, we'll go with. - Max Verstappen.- For Formula One.
0:43:39 > 0:43:42- For Formula One as well. OK, Max Verstappen.- Hulkenberg.
0:43:42 > 0:43:43Hulkenberg and Hungary.
0:43:43 > 0:43:46Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:43:46 > 0:43:47Hulkenberg, I think.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50Hulkenberg goes last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:43:50 > 0:43:51- We're not sure about Hungary, are we?- No.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53- Shall we put Hungary first?- Yeah.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order then
0:43:56 > 0:43:57and here they are, we've got...
0:44:02 > 0:44:05Well, very best of luck. Three excellent answers on the board.
0:44:05 > 0:44:07If one of them turns out to be pointless
0:44:07 > 0:44:10and wins you that jackpot, which charities are you playing for?
0:44:10 > 0:44:11Neil, you first.
0:44:11 > 0:44:15Mine is St Margaret's Hospice, in Clydebank, in Glasgow.
0:44:15 > 0:44:16It's a wonderful place
0:44:16 > 0:44:19and it's led by a very formidable lady called Sister Rita.
0:44:19 > 0:44:21So, I had to give her a mention.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24But the compassion they show to the people in there is fantastic
0:44:24 > 0:44:26and it's just an impeccable place.
0:44:26 > 0:44:28Excellent, Iain?
0:44:28 > 0:44:30Well, my wife had breast cancer six years ago
0:44:30 > 0:44:32and she set up a charity called Boot Out Breast Cancer,
0:44:32 > 0:44:34it's all run by volunteers
0:44:34 > 0:44:36and they've raised an awful lot of money.
0:44:36 > 0:44:37Something I'm very closely linked to.
0:44:37 > 0:44:41Very good indeed, two fantastic charities there, Neil and Iain.
0:44:41 > 0:44:44Let's hope one of these three answers wins that jackpot for you
0:44:44 > 0:44:45to split between those charities.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48OK, well, your first answer was Hungary.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50In this case, we were looking for countries that won a medal
0:44:50 > 0:44:52at the 2015 Aquatics Championship.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54Let's find out if Hungary is right.
0:44:54 > 0:44:56If it is, it then has to be pointless
0:44:56 > 0:44:58for you to win that jackpot.
0:44:58 > 0:45:01So, for £2,500, let's see how many of our 100 people said Hungary.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06- It's right.- Come on!
0:45:06 > 0:45:07OK, Hungary is right,
0:45:07 > 0:45:10- all it has to be now is pointless.- Come on!
0:45:10 > 0:45:12Down it goes through the 30s into the 20s,
0:45:12 > 0:45:13into the teens, still going down,
0:45:13 > 0:45:15into single figures, still going down,
0:45:15 > 0:45:17Hungary taking us all the way down!
0:45:17 > 0:45:19- AUDIENCE:- Oh!- 1.
0:45:24 > 0:45:25Yeah.
0:45:25 > 0:45:28That's a fantastic answer.
0:45:28 > 0:45:31Sadly not a pointless answer.
0:45:31 > 0:45:34- It just teases you, doesn't it?- Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:45:34 > 0:45:37Your next answer was Max Verstappen.
0:45:37 > 0:45:40In this case, we were looking for any podium finisher
0:45:40 > 0:45:42during the 2015 F1 season.
0:45:42 > 0:45:46Max Verstappen. If this is pointless, it will win you £2,500.
0:45:46 > 0:45:49Let's see how many of our 100 people said it. Max Verstappen.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55Oh. I thought that might be.
0:45:55 > 0:45:58Max Verstappen not a correct answer, which means everything is now riding
0:45:58 > 0:46:01on your third and final answer, which was Nico Hulkenberg.
0:46:01 > 0:46:04And again, we're looking for podium finishers
0:46:04 > 0:46:06in the 2015 Formula One season.
0:46:06 > 0:46:08If Nico Hulkenberg is pointless,
0:46:08 > 0:46:11you will take home £2,500 for your charities.
0:46:11 > 0:46:14Very best of luck. How many people said Nico Hulkenberg?
0:46:17 > 0:46:19Oh, no!
0:46:19 > 0:46:21Disaster!
0:46:24 > 0:46:25Well, three good answers there.
0:46:25 > 0:46:29Sadly, we'll discover why from Richard
0:46:29 > 0:46:30but those last two were incorrect.
0:46:30 > 0:46:32But you came so close with that first answer.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38So, you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500.
0:46:38 > 0:46:41However, as it is a celebrity special, we are going to donate £500
0:46:41 > 0:46:44to each of our celebrity pairs to go towards their respective charities.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47- BOTH:- Thank you.- It's been fabulous having you on.
0:46:47 > 0:46:48Neil and Iain, brilliant.
0:46:48 > 0:46:50And you both won a Pointless trophy so there you are,
0:46:50 > 0:46:52you've got that to take home too.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55Oh, gents. That minute is not a lot.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57You were exactly down the right lines
0:46:57 > 0:46:59with Verstappen and Hulkenberg.
0:46:59 > 0:47:01Verstappen was fourth twice in that season,
0:47:01 > 0:47:04it's probably the last season he'll ever not be on a podium.
0:47:04 > 0:47:06I'll read out the pointless answers in that category,
0:47:06 > 0:47:08you'll know all of them, I know you know your F1.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11We'll start, though, with the other category, which is medallists.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14So, lots of big names here, very few answers at all.
0:47:17 > 0:47:20Child and Rooney both won relay bronzes for Team GB.
0:47:20 > 0:47:22In fact, everyone apart from Mo Farah, Usain Bolt,
0:47:22 > 0:47:25Jessica Ennis-Hill, Greg Rutherford and Justin Gatlin,
0:47:25 > 0:47:28every other medallist was a pointless answer,
0:47:28 > 0:47:29so well done if you said any of those.
0:47:29 > 0:47:32Now let's take a look at some of the drivers
0:47:32 > 0:47:34who would have been pointless answers for you.
0:47:34 > 0:47:37Kvyat, who, funnily enough, was second at the Hungary Grand Prix.
0:47:39 > 0:47:40Bottas, who I know you were going to say
0:47:40 > 0:47:42would have scored you 1 point as well,
0:47:42 > 0:47:44would've made it even more agonising.
0:47:44 > 0:47:45And the countries that won those
0:47:45 > 0:47:47medals, you're unlucky with Hungary.
0:47:49 > 0:47:52You also could have had Argentina, Belarus, Denmark, Greece,
0:47:52 > 0:47:54Lithuania, Poland, Singapore and Ukraine.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56Gents, brilliant performance.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59You saw off all the other nations, a huge victory for Northern Ireland
0:47:59 > 0:48:01- and sorry we don't send you away with that jackpot.- Thank you.
0:48:01 > 0:48:04Thanks very much indeed, Richard, and thanks very much indeed,
0:48:04 > 0:48:07Neil and Iain. A fantastic performance across the show. Neil and Iain.
0:48:10 > 0:48:13Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge
0:48:13 > 0:48:14to the test on Pointless.
0:48:14 > 0:48:17- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
