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