Thank you very much, indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.

0:00:230:00:26

A very warm welcome to this special musicals edition of Pointless Celebrities.

0:00:260:00:30

The show where the aim of the game is to score

0:00:300:00:32

as few points as you can and you do that by coming up with the answers

0:00:320:00:35

no-one else can think of. Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities.

0:00:350:00:38

And couple number one.

0:00:420:00:44

Don Black, songwriter.

0:00:440:00:46

Tim Rice, songwriter.

0:00:460:00:47

-Couple number two.

-I'm Phill Jupitus,

0:00:510:00:53

currently appearing in the UK tour of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

0:00:530:00:56

with one of the other contestants.

0:00:560:00:57

I'm Cory English.

0:00:580:01:00

I've been doing Broadway and West End musicals for 25 years now.

0:01:000:01:03

Couple number three.

0:01:060:01:08

Hello, I'm Nigel Planer and, in fact,

0:01:080:01:11

Sir Tim over there gave me my first job in musicals.

0:01:110:01:15

A long time ago I was the David Essex understudy in the musical Evita.

0:01:150:01:20

I'm Claire Sweeney and I am playing Phill's long-suffering wife

0:01:210:01:26

in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in the UK.

0:01:260:01:28

And, finally, couple number four.

0:01:310:01:34

My name's Siobhan Dillon.

0:01:340:01:35

I'm currently starring in Sunset Boulevard

0:01:350:01:38

at London Coliseum with the beautiful Glenn Close.

0:01:380:01:41

I'm Connie Fisher.

0:01:410:01:43

I'm best known for playing Maria in The Sound Of Music.

0:01:430:01:45

I present BBC One's Songs Of Praise and work as a TV producer.

0:01:450:01:48

Thank you very much, all of you. A very warm welcome to Pointless.

0:01:510:01:54

It's lovely to have you all here.

0:01:540:01:55

We'll get to chat to each of you during the show as it goes along,

0:01:550:01:58

of course. So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:580:02:01

It's not all about me, me, me, it's about him, him, him as well.

0:02:010:02:04

It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.

0:02:040:02:06

Hiya. Evening, everybody.

0:02:060:02:10

Good evening, Xander.

0:02:100:02:12

-Good evening.

-Now, what a line-up.

0:02:120:02:14

-How lovely.

-I know.

-This is going to be a joy.

0:02:140:02:17

I wonder... Listen, I love everybody, don't get me wrong,

0:02:170:02:19

but have we ever had a more distinguished podium one than we have this evening?

0:02:190:02:23

-Never.

-Goodness me.

0:02:230:02:25

That's classy. Also, their introductions, so classy.

0:02:250:02:29

Right. If I was one of the other pairs - and you're all welcome, you know that -

0:02:290:02:32

I would feel very guilty at knocking them out at any point of the show.

0:02:320:02:36

-Yeah.

-Would be my opinion.

0:02:360:02:38

Also, the two of them probably very able to employ the other six

0:02:380:02:41

-at any time, as well.

-Yes.

0:02:410:02:44

-Yes.

-And you, as well, to be fair.

0:02:440:02:46

-Don't think that's escaped my notice.

-Given I can't sing,

0:02:460:02:48

I'm the only person here who doesn't have to impress you at any time.

0:02:480:02:51

That's the good news.

0:02:510:02:53

-Although, you know, I can...

-You certainly can.

0:02:530:02:55

Yeah, I've got a mezzo soprano hidden away somewhere.

0:02:550:02:58

-Yes, I met her.

-Yeah.

0:02:580:03:00

I should... Really should let her out.

0:03:000:03:03

Again, I don't wish to favour podium one,

0:03:030:03:05

but Round One is the sort of round you should be very good at if you

0:03:050:03:07

are two of the country's greatest ever lyricists, I would say.

0:03:070:03:12

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:03:120:03:15

So, as usual, all of today's questions have been put to 100 people before the show.

0:03:150:03:18

Our contestants here are looking for those all-important pointless

0:03:180:03:21

answers. These being answers that none of our 100 people gave.

0:03:210:03:23

Find one of those, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.

0:03:230:03:26

Now, as today's show's a celebrity special and each of our wonderful

0:03:260:03:29

celebrities here is playing for a nominated charity,

0:03:290:03:32

we're going to start off with a jackpot of £2,500. There we are.

0:03:320:03:35

Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:03:380:03:41

So, all you have to remember is this.

0:03:450:03:47

The pair with the highest score at the end of each round

0:03:470:03:50

will be eliminated. That is it.

0:03:500:03:52

No conferring till we get to the head-to-head round.

0:03:520:03:54

Best of luck to all four pairs.

0:03:540:03:56

Our first category today is...

0:03:560:03:58

Words. It's...

0:04:000:04:02

ALEXANDER LAUGHS

0:04:020:04:03

..a words round, podium one.

0:04:030:04:05

Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:04:050:04:07

who's going to go second.

0:04:070:04:08

And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:04:080:04:11

OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.

0:04:150:04:17

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many words ending

0:04:170:04:23

in O-O-T as they could.

0:04:230:04:25

Words ending in O-O-T.

0:04:250:04:28

Yeah, were looking for any word which has its own entry

0:04:280:04:31

in the British and world English section of

0:04:310:04:33

the Oxforddictionaries.com, please, that ends O-O-T.

0:04:330:04:36

As always, no proper nouns, no hyphenated words.

0:04:360:04:38

I'm going to predict what you're going to say, but

0:04:380:04:41

it's quite tricky on this one. I've got it wrong three times in a row.

0:04:410:04:43

I know. Normally, your...

0:04:430:04:45

It's almost like we're drifting apart, somehow.

0:04:450:04:47

That's fine. Every relationship goes through its rocky patches.

0:04:470:04:49

Yes, it does, it does. Let's see if we can bring it back

0:04:490:04:52

-on course today.

-Let's do exactly that.

0:04:520:04:54

Come on. Come on, big guy.

0:04:550:04:57

Thanks, Rich.

0:04:570:04:59

Tim, welcome back to Pointless.

0:04:590:05:03

It's lovely to have you here, as ever.

0:05:030:05:04

Now, Tim, you are on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.

0:05:040:05:08

-Yeah.

-Now that's... I don't think we've had... We've never had

0:05:080:05:10

anyone on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame on Pointless before.

0:05:100:05:13

-Chico.

-We've had Chico.

0:05:130:05:14

Tim, how does that happen?

0:05:160:05:17

How do they tell you about it, to start with?

0:05:170:05:19

Well, you basically pay for it.

0:05:190:05:22

-Really?

-I think you have to be nominated.

0:05:220:05:25

I got a letter, and that was great.

0:05:250:05:27

Does the letter come in a big gold envelope?

0:05:270:05:29

I can't remember. But it's obviously a very nice thing to have.

0:05:290:05:34

I was last there before I was so honoured to see my heroes

0:05:340:05:38

The Everly Brothers. I went to visit their gold star

0:05:380:05:41

and they were outside a rather dubious shop.

0:05:410:05:45

But actually, it was rather good because as people came out of

0:05:450:05:47

that shop, they were looking down,

0:05:470:05:49

so The Everly Brothers are probably seen more than most people.

0:05:490:05:53

LAUGHTER

0:05:530:05:54

-I bet they are.

-But, no, it was great.

0:05:540:05:57

It was a nice thing to have happen.

0:05:570:05:59

Wonderful. Tim, we're looking for any word that ends O-O-T.

0:05:590:06:03

Well, I can think of a few risky ones,

0:06:030:06:05

but I'm going to be boring and play safe and go for scoot.

0:06:050:06:08

-Scoot...

-Scoot.

0:06:080:06:10

..says Tim. Let's see how many of our 100 people said scoot.

0:06:100:06:14

25 for scoot.

0:06:210:06:23

APPLAUSE

0:06:230:06:25

To leave somewhere quickly. To scoot.

0:06:270:06:30

-I've got one.

-Have you got one?

0:06:300:06:32

I've written down what I think you have, but...

0:06:320:06:35

-If you know what I mean.

-I do.

0:06:350:06:37

Cory, a very warm welcome to you.

0:06:370:06:39

Now, you've been on Broadway, you've been on the West End,

0:06:390:06:42

you have a very, very long experience of both.

0:06:420:06:45

What's the difference between American audiences

0:06:450:06:47

-and British audiences, do you think?

-Yeah, good question.

0:06:470:06:52

Well, the Broadway audiences do have Times Square

0:06:520:06:55

and that energy of New York City.

0:06:550:06:57

All the shows start at eight o'clock

0:06:570:06:59

and everybody running late to the theatre,

0:06:590:07:01

-and there is that buzz of Broadway, that helps.

-Yeah.

0:07:010:07:05

Here, everybody's on time.

0:07:050:07:07

You know, they get to the theatre on time, it's at 7:30, 7:45

0:07:070:07:11

is the start, so it's nice and calm.

0:07:110:07:14

It sometimes just lacks a little bit of the buzz,

0:07:140:07:17

-but once they're in the theatre, it's the same.

-There we are.

0:07:170:07:21

Now, Cory, we're looking for any word that ends O-O-T.

0:07:210:07:24

All right. Let's go with...

0:07:240:07:27

-loot.

-Ah, loot.

0:07:270:07:30

Also the name of a Tim Rice musical, actually, in a different spelling,

0:07:300:07:34

but there we are. Loot, says Cory.

0:07:340:07:36

Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:07:360:07:39

AUDIENCE GROAN

0:07:430:07:44

-Whoa! Look at that!

-Nelly Furtado!

0:07:440:07:47

Look at that, Cory.

0:07:470:07:49

That really is... That's quite a score, isn't it?

0:07:500:07:54

-Yeah.

-Yeah, to loot, to steal, or what you steal is also loot.

0:07:540:07:58

Thanks very much, Richard.

0:07:580:08:00

Now then, Nigel, welcome back to Pointless.

0:08:000:08:04

-Yes.

-Tell me about Doctor Who live. This is extraordinary.

0:08:040:08:07

You've been doing a live show of Doctor Who playing a villain.

0:08:070:08:09

Yes, with the live orchestra on stage, playing Murray Gold's music.

0:08:090:08:15

-Yeah.

-Yes, I was the only human being in the show.

0:08:150:08:20

The rest were all what's known as skin workers, people who put on...

0:08:200:08:24

Monster players.

0:08:240:08:26

-Wow!

-And they had to be all the different monsters.

0:08:260:08:29

And there was me and, Matt Smith was in it, but he was on a big screen.

0:08:290:08:33

He'd pre-recorded all his scenes...

0:08:330:08:34

-Oh, that's lazy.

-..so I had to time my lines to his pre-record

0:08:340:08:38

and it looked like we were having dialogue.

0:08:380:08:40

-Yeah.

-And I caught him in a little booth.

0:08:400:08:44

A sort of hologram booth, and I captured him cos I was a baddie,

0:08:440:08:48

and at the end of the first half I managed to say,

0:08:480:08:52

"Welcome to my experiment, Doctor."

0:08:520:08:55

-Which was great.

-Amazing.

0:08:550:08:57

Nigel, words ending O-O-T.

0:08:570:09:00

Well, I'm going to take a cos I'm not even sure if it is a word,

0:09:000:09:05

but if it is, I think it won't have been chosen by many people,

0:09:050:09:08

so I may completely blow this. I'm going say moot.

0:09:080:09:11

-M-O-O-T.

-Moot? Moot, says Nigel.

0:09:110:09:14

Well, let's see. How many of our 100 people said moot?

0:09:140:09:16

It's absolutely right.

0:09:190:09:20

86 our high score and you pass that very comfortably.

0:09:200:09:23

Oh. 54 for moot.

0:09:230:09:25

I'm surprised.

0:09:250:09:27

Oh, I thought we were going to get a really obscure one there.

0:09:280:09:31

A moot is what surrounds a castle for Geordies.

0:09:310:09:34

LAUGHTER

0:09:340:09:37

Thanks very much, indeed.

0:09:390:09:41

Connie, welcome back to Pointless. Great to have you here again.

0:09:410:09:44

-Thank you.

-When you did How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?,

0:09:440:09:47

did they approach you? Did they come to you and say or do they go around

0:09:470:09:50

various drama schools and say, "Would anybody be interested?"

0:09:500:09:53

-Or did you audition?

-They didn't, actually.

0:09:530:09:55

I was working in telesales

0:09:550:09:56

and I was auditioning for a lot of Sir Tim Rice's shows at the time.

0:09:560:10:00

I wasn't getting them. So my friend in telesales said,

0:10:000:10:04

"Have you listened to Front Row?" And so I was listening to Front Row

0:10:040:10:07

and I heard Lloyd-Webber say he was looking for a girl.

0:10:070:10:10

But even though I'd got a degree in musical theatre,

0:10:100:10:13

a piece of paper when you're performing isn't very handy, so...

0:10:130:10:16

-No.

-But, yeah, I turned up and I won it.

0:10:160:10:18

-I couldn't believe it.

-Very good. Now then, Connie,

0:10:180:10:21

what would you like to go for? We've had a range of scores.

0:10:210:10:24

Oh, I've got lots of words running through my head.

0:10:240:10:28

They're probably not words.

0:10:280:10:31

I'm going to go - it's probably not a word - cahoot.

0:10:310:10:34

-Ooh.

-Yeah, good one.

-Very good.

-Is it?

0:10:340:10:37

Does it exist in the singular?

0:10:370:10:38

How many of our 100 people said cahoot?

0:10:380:10:41

Oh, no. Oh, no!

0:10:440:10:46

Oh, no, that's so unfair, because you were taking a risk.

0:10:460:10:49

And I might say the first person to have done so.

0:10:490:10:52

-But cahoot, I'm afraid...

-Boot would've been 100, so...

0:10:520:10:54

It scores you 100. But, listen, Cory is just literally

0:10:540:10:57

-beside you in the scoring, so don't worry.

-Just the plural, I'm afraid.

0:10:570:11:01

Cahoots but no cahoot.

0:11:010:11:03

But, as I say, you know what, there's some big scores out there,

0:11:030:11:05

-so you may still go through.

-I should think so.

0:11:050:11:08

We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.

0:11:080:11:10

25, Sir Tim. 25, the best score of that pass,

0:11:100:11:13

putting you and Don at the top the table.

0:11:130:11:16

Then up to 54, where we find Nigel and Claire,

0:11:160:11:18

then up to 86, where we find Cory and Phill,

0:11:180:11:20

and then up to 100, where we find Connie and Siobhan.

0:11:200:11:22

So, Siobhan, you're not that far ahead,

0:11:220:11:24

but far enough ahead for you to need a low-scoring answer,

0:11:240:11:27

so very good luck with that when we come back down the line,

0:11:270:11:30

which we're just about to do.

0:11:300:11:31

Will the second players please step up to the podium?

0:11:310:11:34

OK, Siobhan, so remember, it's words ending O-O-T.

0:11:360:11:40

Siobhan, what was your route into musical theatre?

0:11:400:11:43

The reality TV show How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?

0:11:430:11:46

-I was at fashion college at the time.

-You just heard about

0:11:460:11:49

-it and applied?

-Heard about it. Friend of mine pulled open

0:11:490:11:52

the Stage newspaper and said, "I'm going to go to this,

0:11:520:11:54

"do you want to come?" And I was like, "Yeah, great,

0:11:540:11:56

"come and see me in London, we'll do it together." And the day before,

0:11:560:11:59

she pulled out, so I went with my housemate, instead.

0:11:590:12:02

Ah, well, that's nice.

0:12:020:12:03

-How is Glenn Close?

-Beautiful. She's amazing.

0:12:030:12:06

She's talented and she's humble and she's a team player.

0:12:060:12:09

She's really, really brilliant.

0:12:090:12:10

Wonderful. Now, Siobhan, words ending O-O-T.

0:12:100:12:14

We really need a low scoring one.

0:12:140:12:16

We haven't... Quite often, we get some pointless words in

0:12:160:12:18

-these words rounds.

-Pressure.

-So, no pressure, then?

0:12:180:12:22

I'm not going to lie, there is a little bit of pressure

0:12:220:12:24

-involved here. Yeah.

-I'd like to go with beetroot.

0:12:240:12:27

Ah, you see!

0:12:270:12:30

What about that? Music to my ears and my taste buds.

0:12:300:12:33

Extremely good for you, the beetroot.

0:12:330:12:35

Let's see how many of our 100 people said beetroot.

0:12:350:12:37

No red line for you, as you're the high scorers.

0:12:370:12:41

It's right. Our lowest score is 25.

0:12:410:12:45

I rather fancy this might go below it, and it does.

0:12:450:12:49

Six.

0:12:490:12:51

You see, Siobhan. Very well done, indeed.

0:12:510:12:54

106 is your total. I think you might have done enough.

0:12:540:12:57

That's more like it, isn't it? A great answer, yeah, beetroot.

0:12:570:13:00

I'm not a fan of beetroot. You sound like maybe you like it.

0:13:000:13:04

I used to hate... You know how some of the things you come to love more

0:13:040:13:07

and more when you're a bit older?

0:13:070:13:08

Quite often, they're things you hated when you were younger.

0:13:080:13:11

-I hated beetroot. Love them now.

-Really?

0:13:110:13:13

-Beetroot, whisky.

-Beetroot and whisky.

0:13:130:13:16

-Beetroot, whisky, anchovies.

-I know what I'm getting you for Christmas.

0:13:160:13:19

Lovely big beetroot.

0:13:190:13:20

Thank you very much, Richard.

0:13:230:13:24

Claire, now, my goodness.

0:13:240:13:26

You, uniquely amongst our eight contestants,

0:13:260:13:29

have acted alongside Patrick Swayze.

0:13:290:13:31

Yes. Yeah, God rest his soul.

0:13:310:13:33

-How was that?

-Oh, he was gorgeous.

0:13:330:13:36

Abso... I couldn't believe every night I was getting paid

0:13:360:13:38

to kiss him.

0:13:380:13:39

LAUGHTER

0:13:390:13:41

It was fabulous.

0:13:410:13:42

And this is the Donmar Guys And Dolls, wasn't it?

0:13:420:13:44

-It was, yeah, which Cory did, as well, didn't you?

-It was brilliant.

0:13:440:13:47

I went in just after Cory.

0:13:470:13:49

Such a great... And Douglas Hodge was in it, as well.

0:13:490:13:51

-Doug Hodge, yeah.

-It was an amazing cast.

0:13:510:13:54

Now, you've got a young child.

0:13:540:13:56

-I have, an 18-month-old boy.

-Yeah.

0:13:560:13:57

How do you find that works around the sort of eight shows a week?

0:13:570:14:01

He comes everywhere with me and I have a wonderful nanny

0:14:010:14:05

-who looks after him when I'm on stage.

-Yeah.

-But it's so good

0:14:050:14:08

for him, cos he's surrounded by happy faces, music, dancing.

0:14:080:14:11

-Yeah.

-He comes to warm up with me. He's great.

-Very good.

0:14:110:14:15

-Now then, Clare, you are on 54.

-Oh, my goodness.

0:14:150:14:17

The high scorers behind you are Siobhan and Connie on 106.

0:14:170:14:22

So, 51 or less gets you through.

0:14:220:14:23

See, there's words going through my mind,

0:14:250:14:26

but I'm not sure if they're actually words,

0:14:260:14:29

so go for one of those and get 100, or play safe and...

0:14:290:14:33

I'm going to play safe. I'm sorry, Nigel.

0:14:350:14:38

I'm going to go for foot.

0:14:380:14:40

-Foot. Foot. Foot. There's your red line.

-That's fine, isn't it? O-O-T.

0:14:400:14:44

If you can get... I think it is. Let's see how many of our 100 people said foot.

0:14:440:14:48

AUDIENCE GROANS

0:14:510:14:53

-85.

-I'm sorry.

-Well, listen...

0:14:530:14:55

it's one better than loot. Takes your total up to 139.

0:14:550:14:59

That was my original choice, so...

0:14:590:15:02

I think this might be the highest scoring words round we've ever had.

0:15:020:15:05

-I believe so.

-I think.

-Yes, yes. I'm now so pleased with my one.

0:15:050:15:09

-A lot of pressure taken off you now.

-Yeah.

0:15:090:15:12

Phill, now, you have sort of set up home in musical theatre.

0:15:120:15:15

-What was the first one you did?

-I did Hairspray.

0:15:150:15:18

I'm not entirely sure...

0:15:180:15:21

why I was asked. To be honest, there is a lovely man called James Orange

0:15:210:15:25

and a man called David Grindrod, who are casting directors.

0:15:250:15:27

They got me in and said, "We'd like a chat with you about musicals."

0:15:270:15:30

And I'm like, "Why?" And they went, "You know that bit on Buzzcocks

0:15:300:15:33

"where you do the beginning of songs? We can see that you can

0:15:330:15:35

"hold a tune." And I thought, well, the bar's quite low

0:15:350:15:38

in musical theatre if me going...

0:15:380:15:40

"Doof doo doo-doo doof doof"

0:15:400:15:42

..ends up with me dressed as a woman in the West End for money,

0:15:420:15:45

which is probably where my career was going to end, anyway, so!

0:15:450:15:49

And then you went from that. You've been in Spamalot,

0:15:490:15:52

-you've been in The Producers.

-Yeah.

-You're in Chitty Bang Bang.

0:15:520:15:55

Yes, yes, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, with Claire.

0:15:550:15:58

And if you think that she's delighted she was paid

0:15:580:16:01

to kiss Swayze...

0:16:010:16:02

LAUGHTER

0:16:020:16:04

..now is when she morally pays back.

0:16:040:16:06

Kissing me for less money.

0:16:070:16:09

-Now, you're on 86, Phill.

-Yes.

0:16:110:16:13

The highest scorers are in front of you,

0:16:130:16:15

Claire and Nigel on 139.

0:16:150:16:17

So 52 or less brings you home.

0:16:170:16:19

-Yeah.

-Come on, Phill. Come on, Phill!

0:16:200:16:23

-Loot. What were you thinking?

-Carry me!

0:16:230:16:27

-Carry me.

-Good lord.

0:16:270:16:28

I'm going to go with cheroot.

0:16:280:16:30

-ALL:

-Ooh!

-Very good, very good.

0:16:300:16:34

Cheroot, says Phill.

0:16:340:16:36

Now, here is your red line, just over halfway up the column.

0:16:360:16:40

Cheroot. Let's see how many of our 100 people went for that.

0:16:400:16:43

It's right. And surely...

0:16:480:16:50

And it does get you through.

0:16:500:16:52

Nine.

0:16:530:16:54

Nine. I mean, it's no beetroot, but still, it's good enough.

0:16:560:17:00

Takes your total up to 95.

0:17:000:17:02

Well played, Phill. Yes, a cigar with both ends open.

0:17:020:17:06

I saw Phill in Hairspray. He was brilliant.

0:17:060:17:08

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:17:080:17:10

-And Don.

-Yes.

0:17:100:17:12

Don, what a great pleasure to have you here.

0:17:120:17:15

Think of all the collaborations you've had.

0:17:150:17:17

I mean, you have worked with incredible composers,

0:17:170:17:20

you've worked with amazing singers.

0:17:200:17:22

Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, you've worked with.

0:17:220:17:25

I mean, extraordinary, extraordinary range of people.

0:17:250:17:28

When you're writing songs, do you have a notebook on you at all times,

0:17:280:17:33

and a pencil?

0:17:330:17:34

More or less. Yeah, it's always good to write.

0:17:340:17:38

If anyone says anything... If I was in a restaurant,

0:17:380:17:41

and I heard at the next table somebody said,

0:17:410:17:44

"You've lost that loving feeling," I'd write it down right away.

0:17:440:17:47

Someone has done that already.

0:17:470:17:49

-It wasn't you, was it?

-No, no.

-Oh, phew.

0:17:500:17:53

Wouldn't that be awkward?

0:17:530:17:55

Well, Don, listen, the great news is you're through to the next round.

0:17:550:17:58

It doesn't matter what you say, but I'm pretty sure

0:17:580:18:00

you'll have a brilliant answer.

0:18:000:18:01

I've always been a great lover of Western movies.

0:18:010:18:05

Cowboys and Indians.

0:18:050:18:06

And the word tenderfoot comes up a lot.

0:18:060:18:09

Tender... Now that, that's either going to hit one or the other end

0:18:090:18:13

-of the column...

-That's right, exactly.

-..I reckon.

0:18:130:18:16

Tenderfoot. There's no red line for you, Don,

0:18:160:18:18

for the lovely reason that you're already through,

0:18:180:18:20

but let's see how many of our 100 said tenderfoot.

0:18:200:18:24

It is right.

0:18:240:18:25

I think we might be hearing the ding of a pointless here.

0:18:250:18:28

Look at that! CHEERING

0:18:310:18:33

Very well done, indeed, Don. Beautifully done.

0:18:330:18:36

That's a pointless answer and adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes

0:18:360:18:39

the total up to £2,750.

0:18:390:18:40

It scores you nothing. It leaves your total at 25,

0:18:400:18:43

which is by a margin the lowest score of the whole round.

0:18:430:18:46

That's a terrific answer, Don. Very well played.

0:18:460:18:49

Yeah, it means a newcomer, or novice.

0:18:490:18:50

As you say, often used in those old westerns

0:18:500:18:52

and in the old western books, as well.

0:18:520:18:54

Lots and lots of pointless answers.

0:18:540:18:56

-ALEXANDER COUGHS

-I haven't forgotten you.

0:18:560:18:58

-OK, OK.

-He's very needy sometimes.

0:18:580:19:01

LAUGHTER

0:19:010:19:03

Go on, then. No, go on.

0:19:030:19:05

-Arrowroot.

-You know what, that was my second choice for you.

0:19:050:19:08

-I'm annoyed, now.

-Was it?

-Yeah.

-Oh, no.

0:19:080:19:10

I went for... I thought you would say bandicoot.

0:19:100:19:12

Oh, no, I did think bandicoot, as well.

0:19:120:19:14

I'm so annoyed. Arrowroot would've scored two.

0:19:140:19:18

-What was bandicoot?

-Bandicoot was three. So you did better than me.

0:19:180:19:21

-Oh, phew. OK. There we are.

-So that's good.

0:19:210:19:23

There's lots of good pointless answers though.

0:19:230:19:25

Let's take a look at some of them.

0:19:250:19:26

A coralroot is an orchid. Crapshoot is a pointless answer.

0:19:260:19:30

Flatfoot, also a pointless answer,

0:19:300:19:32

often used as a name for a police officer.

0:19:320:19:34

Outroot. Overboot, something you put over your boot.

0:19:340:19:38

Pussyfoot. See, when you hear them, they're kind of obvious.

0:19:380:19:42

To troubleshoot. Underfoot.

0:19:420:19:44

Unroot. You could have had pinkfoot, you could have had outshoot,

0:19:440:19:47

goosefoot, forefoot. You could've had jackboot.

0:19:470:19:49

There's all sorts of good pointless answers up there.

0:19:490:19:52

Let's take a look at the top three scorers.

0:19:520:19:54

Normally, this is, "Let's have a laugh at the biggest scorers,"

0:19:540:19:56

but some of these will be familiar.

0:19:560:19:58

LAUGHTER

0:19:580:20:01

Foot would've scored you 85.

0:20:010:20:03

Look at that, Cory, loot with 86.

0:20:040:20:06

And boot, which would have scored you 90.

0:20:060:20:09

There we are, thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:20:090:20:11

So, and the end of our first round, I'm so sorry.

0:20:110:20:14

Claire and Nigel, two returners we have to send away,

0:20:140:20:16

with a high score of 139.

0:20:160:20:18

It's been lovely having you here.

0:20:180:20:19

Thank you so much for coming to play. Far too soon to be

0:20:190:20:21

sending you away, but thank you, Claire and Nigel.

0:20:210:20:25

APPLAUSE

0:20:250:20:26

But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:20:270:20:31

And so three pairs remain.

0:20:350:20:36

At the end of this round, we will have to say goodbye to another pair.

0:20:360:20:40

Best of luck to all three pairs.

0:20:400:20:41

Our category for Round Two this evening is...

0:20:410:20:45

-Yes!

-Pop Music, something many of you are familiar with.

0:20:470:20:50

Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:20:500:20:52

who's going to go second. And whoever's going first,

0:20:520:20:54

please step up to the podium.

0:20:540:20:56

OK. And the question concerns...

0:20:580:21:00

Young chart stars, Richard.

0:21:040:21:05

On each board, we're going to show you the names of six UK

0:21:050:21:08

top 40 singles, all of which became hits when the act who released them

0:21:080:21:11

was under 20 years old. Just need to name those acts, please.

0:21:110:21:14

Six on the first board, six on the second,

0:21:140:21:16

12 in all to have a go at home. Very best of luck.

0:21:160:21:19

OK, so we're looking for the name of the artists who had hits

0:21:190:21:21

with these songs.

0:21:210:21:24

Here's our first board.

0:21:240:21:25

We have...

0:21:250:21:27

I shall read those all again.

0:21:420:21:43

Tim.

0:21:570:21:58

Xander, I know...

0:21:580:22:02

I think I know four of them.

0:22:020:22:05

And, being an old codger, I'm going back into the past.

0:22:050:22:10

I'll go for Musical Youth, Pass The Dutchie.

0:22:100:22:12

Musical Youth, says Tim.

0:22:120:22:14

Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Musical Youth.

0:22:140:22:17

Not bad. 34 for Musical Youth.

0:22:240:22:25

APPLAUSE

0:22:250:22:27

That is a solid start. Yeah, sold over four million

0:22:290:22:32

copies worldwide, Pass The Dutchie.

0:22:320:22:34

Not bad at all.

0:22:350:22:36

Now then, Cory.

0:22:360:22:38

Doomed.

0:22:380:22:39

Puppy Love.

0:22:420:22:43

Oh, gosh.

0:22:430:22:44

Stitches.

0:22:470:22:48

Well, I've just got to make...

0:22:490:22:52

an uneducated guess.

0:22:520:22:54

-Yes.

-And say Depeche Mode, Uptight.

0:22:550:22:58

-Argh!

-We got it. This is it. No, no, no, think positive, Phill.

0:22:580:23:01

OK.

0:23:010:23:04

S...

0:23:040:23:06

They weren't even born in '66!

0:23:060:23:07

-Oh, God!

-LAUGHTER

0:23:080:23:10

SW.

0:23:120:23:14

Depeche Mode, says Cory. LAUGHTER

0:23:140:23:17

Let's see how many of our 100 people...

0:23:170:23:19

..said that.

0:23:210:23:23

Let it be there, let it be there.

0:23:230:23:26

There we are. I'm afraid...

0:23:270:23:30

APPLAUSE

0:23:300:23:31

I'm sorry, Corey. An incorrect answer, as it turns out.

0:23:310:23:34

Scores you 100 points.

0:23:340:23:36

Yeah, although they were originally called Sepeche Wode.

0:23:360:23:38

-LAUGHTER

-So it's not a bad answer.

-Yeah.

0:23:380:23:41

Thank you very much indeed.

0:23:410:23:43

Now, Siobhan, this board's all yours.

0:23:430:23:45

Would you like to go through it and fill in all our blanks for us?

0:23:450:23:48

I'm really struggling, I'm not going to lie.

0:23:480:23:50

Do you want to go through them and do some thinking aloud?

0:23:500:23:52

No, absolutely not. That would just be embarrassing.

0:23:520:23:55

Let's just put it out there. Puppy Love, Donny Osmond?

0:23:550:23:59

-Yeah, yeah.

-Donny Osmond. CHEERING

0:23:590:24:01

Is that the answer you want to go for?

0:24:010:24:03

-That's the answer.

-"Of course," says Cory!

0:24:030:24:05

Sepeche Wode.

0:24:050:24:08

Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Donny Osmond

0:24:080:24:11

for Puppy Love. Let's see how many people.

0:24:110:24:14

-Well, 100 was our high score and you've passed that.

-Yay!

0:24:140:24:16

71 is where you end up with Donny Osmond.

0:24:160:24:18

-Not bad.

-Yeah, a cover of a Paul Anka song, that was.

0:24:200:24:24

Now, let's fill these in, shall we?

0:24:240:24:27

All Kinds Of Everything, D.

0:24:270:24:29

-Dana.

-Dana, yeah. Absolutely. That would have scored 38.

0:24:290:24:32

Now, No No No. It's Destiny's Child.

0:24:320:24:35

-CONNIE:

-We should have gone for that!

-Stitches, which is

0:24:350:24:38

the most recent one on the board, is Shawn Mendes,

0:24:380:24:40

who came to fame on Vine and now sells millions of records.

0:24:400:24:43

Would have scored you six points.

0:24:430:24:45

-And Uptight (Everything's Alright).

-Stevie Wonder.

-Stevie Wonder,

0:24:450:24:48

of course it is. 21 points for that.

0:24:480:24:49

So Destiny's Child the best answer on the board.

0:24:490:24:52

-Well done if you said that.

-Thanks very much indeed.

0:24:520:24:54

Well, let's see where we find ourselves halfway through the round.

0:24:540:24:57

34, the best score, Tim and Don.

0:24:570:24:59

Once again looking very strong at this stage for the head-to-head.

0:24:590:25:02

Then up to 71, quite a leap up there,

0:25:020:25:04

where we find Siobhan and Connie.

0:25:040:25:05

And then it's up to 100, Cory and Phill.

0:25:050:25:08

However, if one was thinking of there's a sort of handicap race,

0:25:080:25:10

I would say that that's probably about right,

0:25:100:25:13

cos, Phill, got a bit of a mountain to climb,

0:25:130:25:15

but you knew all of that. He's going to be fine.

0:25:150:25:17

You're going to be fine. Best of luck with that.

0:25:170:25:19

We're going to come back down the line now.

0:25:190:25:21

Can the second players please step up to the podium.

0:25:210:25:25

OK, we're going to put six more clues up on the board,

0:25:250:25:28

six more songs, and here they are.

0:25:280:25:30

We've got...

0:25:320:25:33

I'll say all those again.

0:25:520:25:54

Now then, Connie, if you could possibly score 28

0:26:120:26:16

-or less, you'd be definitely...

-We won't.

-..in the next round.

0:26:160:26:20

Clearly, I'm not going to go for the third one,

0:26:200:26:22

because everyone's going to get that.

0:26:220:26:25

HS. Who could it be?

0:26:250:26:26

Oh, hang on, HS!

0:26:260:26:28

Don't laugh. It's not Harry Secombe, is it?

0:26:300:26:33

LAUGHTER

0:26:330:26:35

-Would it be Harry Secombe?

-OK, Harry Secombe.

0:26:350:26:38

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Harry Secombe.

0:26:380:26:41

-There's your red line.

-There it is, there it is.

0:26:410:26:44

-Just leave us waiting.

-Oh!

0:26:490:26:52

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, not Harry...

0:26:520:26:55

-Was it Harry Styles?

-Not Harry Secombe!

0:26:550:26:57

LAUGHTER

0:26:570:26:58

Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 171.

0:26:580:27:01

-You're still in the game.

-Absolutely. You know what,

0:27:010:27:03

not a terrible answer. You got the initials right.

0:27:030:27:05

At least you didn't say Depeche Mode.

0:27:050:27:07

-There we are.

-That's right!

-Thank you very much. Phill.

-Hello.

0:27:090:27:12

Now, listen, if you could score 70 or less, you're in the head-to-head.

0:27:120:27:16

OK. All right, all right!

0:27:160:27:19

Well, I want to go out burning,

0:27:200:27:24

I want to go flaming into the ground.

0:27:240:27:27

Let's do it.

0:27:270:27:28

Don't Treat Me Like A Child, Helen Shapiro.

0:27:280:27:31

Helen Shapiro.

0:27:310:27:32

AUDIENCE OOHS Oh, listen to that.

0:27:320:27:34

Appreciative buzz from our audience there.

0:27:340:27:37

Here is your red line. Nice and high.

0:27:370:27:38

Get below that with Helen Shapiro, you're into the head-to-head.

0:27:380:27:41

-How many people said Helen Shapiro?

-Come on, Phill Jupitus.

0:27:410:27:44

It is Helen Shapiro.

0:27:440:27:46

You are in the head-to-head.

0:27:460:27:48

Good.

0:27:500:27:51

18.

0:27:520:27:53

-118 is your total.

-I should not be here!

0:27:550:27:57

18, incidentally, the lowest score of the round so far.

0:27:570:28:00

She was 14 years old when she released that song,

0:28:000:28:02

and then moved to Basildon in the '80s and formed a synthesiser group

0:28:020:28:05

called Depeche Mode. That was her band.

0:28:050:28:08

-Thank you very much indeed. Now, Don.

-Yes.

0:28:100:28:13

I've great news. You're through, it doesn't matter what you score.

0:28:130:28:16

-Right.

-What are you going to go for on this board?

0:28:160:28:19

-I'll talk you through the first one.

-Yes.

-Because I know that.

0:28:190:28:22

And I'll go for Lena Zavaroni.

0:28:220:28:24

Lena Zavaroni, says Don.

0:28:240:28:26

No red line for you, you're already through.

0:28:260:28:28

Let's see how many people said Lena Zavaroni.

0:28:280:28:31

It's right.

0:28:330:28:34

29 for Lena Zavaroni,

0:28:390:28:41

taking your total up to 63, the lowest total by some distance

0:28:410:28:44

-of the round.

-Well played, Don, yeah, found fame

0:28:440:28:47

on Opportunity Knocks, Lena Zavaroni.

0:28:470:28:49

Now, this next one, do you remember this next one down?

0:28:490:28:51

-One of those many novelty singles.

-Do you know, I don't.

0:28:510:28:54

It was by Claire And Friends.

0:28:540:28:56

Three points for that. Later covered by Metallica.

0:28:560:28:58

-LAUGHTER

-Now, Rockin' Robin.

0:28:580:29:01

-Connie.

-I think it's Michael Jackson.

0:29:010:29:03

Michael Jackson. Absolutely right.

0:29:030:29:06

Big score, though. It would still have seen you knocked out.

0:29:060:29:08

-Yeah.

-Would have scored you 58. I Think We're Alone Now.

0:29:080:29:11

Tiffany. That's a good song.

0:29:110:29:13

30 points for that. Now, Whip My Hair, Will Smith's daughter, Willow.

0:29:130:29:17

That would have scored 14.

0:29:170:29:18

Thanks very much, Richard. So, at the end of our second round,

0:29:180:29:21

I'm sorry, the pair we have to say goodbye to,

0:29:210:29:23

heading home with their high score of 171, Connie and Siobhan.

0:29:230:29:26

-It is you. It's been lovely having you here, though.

-Thank you.

0:29:260:29:29

-Please come and play again. Connie and Siobhan.

-Thank you!

0:29:290:29:32

But for Cory and Phill, Don and Tim, it's now time for our head-to-head.

0:29:350:29:38

Well, congratulations, Don and Tim, Corey and Phill.

0:29:430:29:45

You're now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our

0:29:450:29:48

jackpot, which currently stands at...

0:29:480:29:50

So here we are. We've reached the head-to-head stage.

0:29:550:29:57

This means we have to decide who goes through to the final to play

0:29:570:30:00

for that jackpot and we do it by making you go head-to-head,

0:30:000:30:02

but you can start playing as a team, which is great.

0:30:020:30:05

You can chat before you give your answers.

0:30:050:30:06

First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

0:30:060:30:10

This is very exciting.

0:30:100:30:11

So we have here two of the finest lyricists of all time

0:30:110:30:15

versus two of the finest musical and comedy talents

0:30:150:30:18

of the West End and Broadway.

0:30:180:30:21

Fight! Let's play the head-to-head.

0:30:210:30:23

Here is your first question and it concerns...

0:30:290:30:31

Winners Of The Best Actor Olivier Award. Richard.

0:30:360:30:39

We're going to show you five pictures now of people who have won

0:30:390:30:41

the Best Actor or Best Actor In A Musical at the Olivier Awards.

0:30:410:30:44

Can you identify the most obscure of these, please.

0:30:440:30:47

OK, let's reveal our five actors, and here they come.

0:30:470:30:50

There we are. Five Best Actors.

0:31:190:31:22

Don and Tim, you're our low scorers, so you'll go first.

0:31:220:31:25

Right. Yes...

0:31:250:31:28

Well, we think we know three of them,

0:31:280:31:30

which is not very good, really.

0:31:300:31:32

We're going to go for A, is that right?

0:31:320:31:34

We're going to go for A, and that is Robert Lindsay.

0:31:340:31:36

Robert Lindsay say Don and Tim. Robert Lindsay.

0:31:360:31:39

Now then, Corey and Phill, talk us through that board.

0:31:390:31:44

Yeah, I know them all.

0:31:440:31:46

So it's Bob Lindsay, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Spacey,

0:31:460:31:49

Cumberbatch and Jacobi.

0:31:490:31:51

I thought D, maybe.

0:31:510:31:53

-No, they know?

-Everyone knows Cumberbatch.

0:31:530:31:56

I don't think that they'd know Jacobi.

0:31:560:31:58

-Yeah. All right.

-I'll go with Jacobi, E.

0:31:580:32:01

-Derek Jacobi.

-Derek Jacobi.

0:32:010:32:02

There we are. So we have Derek Jacobi and Robert Lindsay.

0:32:020:32:05

Don and Tim said Robert Lindsey for A

0:32:050:32:07

Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people

0:32:070:32:10

said Robert Lindsay.

0:32:100:32:11

It's right.

0:32:130:32:14

Oh, it's a good answer. 26.

0:32:180:32:20

26 for Robert Lindsay.

0:32:230:32:25

Now, meanwhile, Cory and Phill have said Derek Jacobi for E.

0:32:250:32:30

Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Derek Jacobi.

0:32:300:32:33

It's right.

0:32:350:32:36

It's...

0:32:390:32:40

very good.

0:32:400:32:41

Look at that, 19 for Derek Jacobi. Very well done, indeed.

0:32:410:32:45

Very well done. It means Corey and Phill, after one question,

0:32:450:32:48

-you are up 1-0.

-Yeah, well played. Funnily enough, Benedict Cumberbatch

0:32:480:32:51

also would have won the point, cos he would have scored you 25.

0:32:510:32:54

Would have been more exciting telly if you had said Cumberbatch.

0:32:540:32:57

Best answer on the board, though, is B, by a long way.

0:32:570:33:00

Chiwetel Ejiofor. He would have scored you six points.

0:33:000:33:03

Well done if you said that at home.

0:33:030:33:05

And the biggest score on the board, Kevin Spacey.

0:33:050:33:08

-Who?

-With 52.

0:33:080:33:10

Thank you very much. Here is your second question.

0:33:100:33:12

Now, Don and Tim, Corey and Phill will get to answer this first, but

0:33:120:33:15

you have to win it to stay in the game, so very, very best of luck.

0:33:150:33:18

It concerns, this second question of ours...

0:33:180:33:21

-Cameron Mackintosh Productions. Richard.

-The answer to every

0:33:230:33:26

clue here is the name of a show produced or associated

0:33:260:33:29

with Cameron Mackintosh. Very best of luck.

0:33:290:33:32

Now, rather than me reading out the clues here,

0:33:320:33:35

we've got someone else. We have Sir Cameron Mackintosh himself.

0:33:350:33:38

Hi, Xander and Richard, I'm really sorry I can't be with you

0:33:380:33:41

and I've had to sit in my little hovel of an office here,

0:33:410:33:44

but I've got five questions about my musicals I'd like to give you.

0:33:440:33:47

What was the name of the musical that I produced in 2001,

0:33:470:33:52

based on the story of Pygmalion?

0:33:520:33:54

What is the name of the musical that I co-created in 2004 that was based

0:33:560:34:00

on the books of PL Travers and a famous Disney film?

0:34:000:34:04

What was the name of the TV show that I was in where,

0:34:060:34:10

for my production of Oliver, starring Rowan Atkinson,

0:34:100:34:13

the viewers had to choose who was going to play Nancy?

0:34:130:34:17

Which musical of mine contains the songs Movie In My Mind

0:34:170:34:22

and The American Dream?

0:34:220:34:23

Which musical of mine is based on TS Eliot's poems?

0:34:250:34:29

With a little bit of luck, you'll get all the questions right.

0:34:290:34:32

Good luck, everybody.

0:34:320:34:33

OK, let me read through those questions one more time.

0:34:390:34:42

There we are.

0:35:030:35:04

Now then, Cory and Phill will go first.

0:35:040:35:06

This is you. It's yours.

0:35:070:35:09

Come on. Come on, Stateside.

0:35:090:35:12

Well, the most obscure, we've got...

0:35:120:35:16

The second thing.

0:35:160:35:18

-Yes.

-101 Dalmatians.

0:35:180:35:20

101 Dalmatians.

0:35:200:35:22

OK. Now then, Don and Tim.

0:35:220:35:25

That board is all yours. Talk us through.

0:35:250:35:28

We know four for sure, I think.

0:35:280:35:30

But the one that we think will get us the least points...

0:35:300:35:33

Just get it right, Don.

0:35:330:35:35

The Movie In My Mind and the American Dream

0:35:350:35:38

comes from Miss Saigon.

0:35:380:35:40

Miss Saigon. So we have 101 Dalmatians versus Miss Saigon.

0:35:400:35:43

In the order they were given,

0:35:430:35:45

Corey and Phill said 101 Dalmatians for the PL Travers book.

0:35:450:35:48

Let's see if that's right.

0:35:480:35:49

Oh, they're getting the eggs ready.

0:35:510:35:54

No, I'm afraid.

0:35:540:35:56

Not 101 Dalmatians,

0:35:560:35:58

which means, Don and Tim,

0:35:580:35:59

you merely have to be correct with your answer of Miss Saigon...

0:35:590:36:02

We know it as well!

0:36:020:36:04

..and you'll be back in the game.

0:36:040:36:06

Let's see if it's right.

0:36:060:36:08

Look at that. Very well done.

0:36:110:36:12

Good answer.

0:36:160:36:18

Look, right down to four.

0:36:180:36:20

Best answer on the board, I would imagine there.

0:36:200:36:22

And it means, Don and Tim, you're back in the game.

0:36:220:36:25

-After two questions it is 1-1.

-We had to give them a chance!

0:36:250:36:28

Not just a good answer, the best answer on the board,

0:36:280:36:30

so very well played. Now it's not 101 Dalmatians, I'm afraid.

0:36:300:36:33

That's written by Dodie Smith.

0:36:330:36:34

PL Travers wrote...

0:36:340:36:36

-Mary Poppins.

-Mary Poppins.

0:36:360:36:38

It would have scored you 21 points.

0:36:380:36:39

The top one, the musical based on Pygmalion.

0:36:390:36:41

-My Fair Lady.

-My Fair Lady.

0:36:410:36:43

Would have scored 30.

0:36:430:36:45

The title of the TV show?

0:36:450:36:46

I'd Do Anything.

0:36:460:36:48

Yeah. Six points for that.

0:36:480:36:49

And this musical is based on a collection of poems.

0:36:490:36:51

-It's Cats.

-It's Cats. And that would have scored you 41.

0:36:510:36:54

There we are. Thank you very much indeed.

0:36:540:36:56

OK, here comes your third question. This is the decider.

0:36:560:36:58

Whoever wins this one goes through to the final

0:36:580:37:00

and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.

0:37:000:37:03

Our third question concerns...

0:37:030:37:05

Types Of Bean!

0:37:080:37:10

-Types Of Bean.

-What better way to divide you than this?

0:37:100:37:13

We are now going to show you the names of five types of bean,

0:37:130:37:17

but in the form of anagrams.

0:37:170:37:19

Can you unscramble them?

0:37:190:37:20

And the team giving us the lowest score

0:37:200:37:22

is going through to play for that jackpot. Very best of luck.

0:37:220:37:25

Here we go. Let's reveal our five beans.

0:37:250:37:27

And here they come.

0:37:270:37:29

So, Don and Tim, you will go first.

0:37:410:37:44

I feel like a has-been.

0:37:450:37:47

Very good.

0:37:490:37:50

That's all you need.

0:37:540:37:55

We're going to have a go at the fourth one down.

0:37:570:38:00

Which is haricot.

0:38:000:38:02

Haricot, haricot say Don and Tim.

0:38:020:38:05

Now then, Corey and Phill.

0:38:050:38:08

The only one that I can solve the anagram of

0:38:080:38:10

is the one that will be the highest answer and haricot will

0:38:100:38:14

knock it right out of the park. So, start the van, Barry.

0:38:140:38:17

Uh...

0:38:180:38:20

Um...

0:38:210:38:22

Oh, come on. Runner.

0:38:230:38:26

-One.

-Runner.

0:38:260:38:28

OK, so we have haricot and we have runner.

0:38:280:38:30

We have Don and Tim going for haricot.

0:38:300:38:32

Let's see if that's right,

0:38:320:38:33

let's see how many of our 100 people got haricot.

0:38:330:38:35

It's right.

0:38:380:38:39

28 for haricot.

0:38:430:38:45

-Now...

-Mid '80s.

-Mid-80s, says Phil.

-Yeah, yeah.

0:38:490:38:53

Yeah, we're back to Depeche Mode again, are we?

0:38:530:38:55

Corey and Phill went for runner. Let's see if it's right,

0:38:570:38:59

let's see how many of our 100 people said runner.

0:38:590:39:01

Oh. 74, 74.

0:39:050:39:07

Sorry, Cory and Phill.

0:39:070:39:09

-Very well done.

-I feel sorry for the runner bean, falling out of favour.

0:39:100:39:13

Don and Tim, very well done.

0:39:130:39:14

After three questions you're through to the final, 2-1.

0:39:140:39:17

Yes, a couple of answers that would have beaten your score there.

0:39:170:39:20

Not the bottom one. The bottom one would have scored too much.

0:39:200:39:23

-That's...

-Broad.

-Broad bean.

0:39:230:39:24

That would have scored 47. Chip cake. Do you know that one?

0:39:260:39:28

We don't think of it as a bean.

0:39:280:39:30

Chickpea. That would have scored 13.

0:39:300:39:32

Now, this is the hard one. A solo papa.

0:39:320:39:34

You'd have to have heard of this, I suspect.

0:39:340:39:37

It's an appaloosa.

0:39:370:39:38

Appaloosa. Would've scored you two points.

0:39:380:39:41

Lovely word to use in a song, though.

0:39:410:39:42

Appaloosa. Isn't it? Tuck that away.

0:39:420:39:45

Don't Cry For Me, Appaloosa.

0:39:450:39:46

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:39:490:39:50

So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid, is Cory and Phill.

0:39:500:39:54

-Oh.

-Come on, they're the better team.

0:39:540:39:56

They should be here. Come on.

0:39:560:39:58

-Yeah, yeah.

-Hey, no-one's denying that, Cory.

0:39:580:40:01

Although... Although, if Cameron is watching, I think

0:40:020:40:05

101 dogs loose on a stage in the West End is an excellent idea.

0:40:050:40:10

Cory and Phill, it's been fabulous having you here.

0:40:110:40:13

Thank you so much for playing and playing so well. Cory and Phill, everyone.

0:40:130:40:16

APPLAUSE

0:40:160:40:18

But, for Don and Tim, it is now time for our Pointless final.

0:40:200:40:22

Congratulations, Don and Tim,

0:40:270:40:29

you have seen off all the competition

0:40:290:40:31

and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:40:310:40:34

Can we now be known as... What was it, Don, you said?

0:40:400:40:42

Tenderfoot and Haricot.

0:40:420:40:44

Tenderfoot and Haricot.

0:40:440:40:46

Congratulations, Tenderfoot and Haricot.

0:40:470:40:49

You can be called anything you like, frankly,

0:40:490:40:51

now you've made it this far. You now have a chance to win

0:40:510:40:53

our Pointless jackpot, and at the end of today's show,

0:40:530:40:56

the jackpot is standing at £2,750.

0:40:560:40:57

APPLAUSE

0:40:570:40:58

Very, very well done.

0:41:000:41:01

Now, you started off, in the first round, with a pointless answer.

0:41:010:41:06

All you have to do now is round it off, bookend it with another

0:41:060:41:08

pointless answer at this end of the show and you will

0:41:080:41:10

take home that jackpot for your charities.

0:41:100:41:12

As you know what happens, we put four categories up on the board

0:41:120:41:15

behind me and you've just got to hope there is something up there

0:41:150:41:17

you quite like the look of. Very, very best of luck.

0:41:170:41:19

Today's selection looks like this.

0:41:190:41:22

I'm not bad at Geography, but the other two, Fashion, hard to believe.

0:41:300:41:33

Just look at us, I mean, pretty obvious.

0:41:330:41:36

We are fashion icons, but that worries us.

0:41:360:41:38

I think Music By Numbers.

0:41:380:41:40

Between us we might be lucky.

0:41:400:41:42

OK. Music By Numbers.

0:41:420:41:44

OK. Haricot says Music By Numbers.

0:41:440:41:47

Very best of luck. Here are your three questions.

0:41:470:41:49

I hope one of these suits you.

0:41:490:41:51

We are looking for the name of any track on Adele's album 25.

0:41:510:41:55

So any track on the original release of that.

0:41:550:41:58

We're looking for any track on George Michael's greatest hits album

0:41:580:42:01

Twenty Five, released in 2006,

0:42:010:42:04

or any tracks on A-ha's greatest hits album,

0:42:040:42:07

25: The Very Best Of A-ha,

0:42:070:42:08

released in 2010.

0:42:080:42:10

So tracks on any of these 25s.

0:42:100:42:13

Adele, George Michael, or the very best of A-ha.

0:42:130:42:16

Very, very best of luck.

0:42:160:42:17

OK, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with

0:42:170:42:20

three answers and all you need to win that jackpot for your charities

0:42:200:42:23

is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:42:230:42:25

-Are you ready?

-Well...

-We are ready.

0:42:250:42:27

OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.

0:42:270:42:29

There they are. Your time starts now.

0:42:290:42:31

I don't think people will know that.

0:42:310:42:33

-No, I don't think that...

-Living Daylights?

0:42:330:42:35

Crying In The Rain, but they'll forget that one.

0:42:360:42:39

-Which one?

-On A-ha.

0:42:390:42:41

-OK.

-And the only track I can remember on Adele's album is Hello.

0:42:410:42:44

And everyone will know that.

0:42:440:42:45

-OK.

-George Michael.

0:42:450:42:47

Is that a greatest hits album or...

0:42:470:42:49

-Yeah, greatest hits album.

-Greatest hits album.

0:42:510:42:53

What was a small greatest hit he had?

0:42:530:42:55

One that people won't know?

0:42:550:42:57

I only know his big hits.

0:42:570:42:59

But I think you're right, the A-ha, I think A-ha is good,

0:42:590:43:01

because not many people know too much about A-ha.

0:43:010:43:05

Um... Well, I think... I would like,

0:43:060:43:07

-definitely, to go for Crying In The Rain.

-OK.

0:43:070:43:09

-Last two.

-We've got to think of two others.

0:43:090:43:12

Panic. George Michael.

0:43:120:43:13

What's he done? Things like Faith and...

0:43:130:43:16

Yes.

0:43:160:43:17

Father. What was that...? Father Figure.

0:43:180:43:21

That'll be...

0:43:210:43:22

It's hard to think of titles.

0:43:220:43:24

We're struggling here.

0:43:240:43:25

We're struggling. And Adele's...

0:43:250:43:28

-Pavements?

-OK.

0:43:300:43:32

That is your time up.

0:43:320:43:33

Let's have your three answers.

0:43:330:43:35

-Well we're definitely going for Crying In The Rain by A-ha.

-OK, Crying In The Rain.

0:43:350:43:39

And a George Michael track.

0:43:390:43:41

-Yes. A duet.

-Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me.

0:43:410:43:43

Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me.

0:43:430:43:45

By George Michael. What was the other A-ha one you thought of?

0:43:450:43:47

The Living Daylights, the James Bond.

0:43:470:43:50

-And Living Daylights.

-Yeah.

0:43:500:43:51

OK, those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:43:510:43:54

-I think the Crying In The Rain.

-I think Crying In The Rain, too.

0:43:540:43:57

Let's put that last. Least likely to be pointless?

0:43:570:43:59

-The other one. What was the other one? I forgot.

-The other one was...

0:43:590:44:02

-Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me.

-Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me.

0:44:020:44:04

OK. And Living Daylights in the middle.

0:44:040:44:06

OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order,

0:44:060:44:09

and here they are. We have got...

0:44:090:44:11

Well, very, very best of luck. Three good answers there.

0:44:160:44:18

Let's hope one of those, at least, is pointless

0:44:180:44:20

and will win that jackpot for your charities.

0:44:200:44:22

What charities are you playing for, Don, you first.

0:44:220:44:24

Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital.

0:44:240:44:27

Excellent. Tim?

0:44:270:44:28

Chance To Shine, which is a charity that, through cricket,

0:44:280:44:32

enables people from state schools to get out and play more sport.

0:44:320:44:37

Very good indeed. Two wonderful charities there.

0:44:370:44:39

APPLAUSE

0:44:390:44:40

Fingers crossed one of these answers will win that jackpot for you to

0:44:420:44:45

split between those charities. Well, best of luck. As I say,

0:44:450:44:48

your first answer was Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me.

0:44:480:44:50

In this case we were looking for tracks from

0:44:500:44:52

George Michael's best-of album called Twenty Five.

0:44:520:44:55

It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot, so let's find out,

0:44:550:44:59

for £2,750, how many people said Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me?

0:44:590:45:02

It's right.

0:45:050:45:06

It now just has to go down to zero

0:45:060:45:08

and you will leave with that jackpot to split between your charities.

0:45:080:45:11

Down we go. Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me, into the teens,

0:45:110:45:14

into single figures. Down it goes.

0:45:140:45:15

Still going down...

0:45:150:45:17

Oh, two! We stop at two.

0:45:170:45:19

That's not bad.

0:45:190:45:21

That's really not bad.

0:45:210:45:22

-OK.

-Not bad at all.

0:45:240:45:25

Very, very well done.

0:45:250:45:27

Sadly, not a pointless answer, which means we move on to your answer,

0:45:270:45:30

which is The Living Daylights.

0:45:300:45:32

In this case, we were looking for A-ha tracks from

0:45:320:45:35

25: The Very Best Of A-ha.

0:45:350:45:37

It has to be pointless, so, for £2,750,

0:45:370:45:39

let's see how many people said The Living Daylights.

0:45:390:45:42

Again, it's right.

0:45:450:45:47

Just has to go down to zero.

0:45:470:45:49

Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me stopped at two.

0:45:490:45:51

The Living Daylights now going down through the teens.

0:45:510:45:53

We are into single figures again. Down it...

0:45:530:45:55

Six. For The Living Daylights.

0:45:550:45:58

Close. This is the big one for you.

0:45:590:46:03

OK. Two very good low scores, by the way.

0:46:030:46:05

However, it's only pointless answers that count in this last round.

0:46:050:46:08

Your third and final answer.

0:46:080:46:09

Crying In The Rain, the one that you thought was

0:46:090:46:11

probably your best shot at a pointless answer.

0:46:110:46:13

Again, it's an A-ha song.

0:46:130:46:15

We are hoping it's on that album, 25: The Best Of A-ha.

0:46:150:46:18

If it is, and if it is pointless, it will win £2,750 for your charities.

0:46:180:46:21

Let's find out. Crying In The Rain. How many people said it?

0:46:210:46:24

It's right. OK, well, your first answer,

0:46:280:46:30

Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me, took us down to two.

0:46:300:46:33

The Living Daylights, your next answer, took us down to six.

0:46:330:46:36

Crying In The Rain now takes us into single figures.

0:46:360:46:38

Down it goes, past the six, down it goes, passes two.

0:46:380:46:41

Very well done indeed!

0:46:410:46:43

APPLAUSE

0:46:430:46:45

Congratulations. Very well done indeed.

0:46:470:46:50

Fantastic. Crying In The Rain was a pointless answer,

0:46:520:46:56

which means you go home with that jackpot

0:46:560:46:58

of £2,750 for your charities. Brilliant.

0:46:580:47:00

-APPLAUSE

-Thank you.

0:47:000:47:03

Brilliant work and, like the showmen you are, you left the pointless answer to the last.

0:47:060:47:09

Terrific stuff. Genuinely been our pleasure and our honour to have two such wonderful talents on the show.

0:47:090:47:13

So thank you very much. I'm so glad we are sending you home with that money.

0:47:130:47:16

Let's take a look at the pointless answers now

0:47:160:47:19

in the different categories, see how well you did at home.

0:47:190:47:21

We will start with the Adele album.

0:47:210:47:23

Lots of pointless answers here.

0:47:230:47:25

You also could have had Love In The Dark, Million Years Ago,

0:47:270:47:30

Send My Love To Your New Lover and Water Under The Bridge.

0:47:300:47:33

All of those were pointless answers.

0:47:330:47:34

Well done if you said any of them. Now for George Michael.

0:47:340:47:37

You could have had...

0:47:370:47:38

You could have had An Easier Affair, Flawless, Freedom 90.

0:47:410:47:44

Heal The Pain was a pointless answer. Well done if you said that.

0:47:440:47:46

Shoot The Dog. This Is Not Real Love. All of those were pointless answers.

0:47:460:47:49

Well done if you said any of those. And now A-ha.

0:47:490:47:52

Look at the first one on this list.

0:47:520:47:54

Crying In The Rain winning you that money. Congratulations.

0:47:540:47:56

Everything apart from Take On Me, understandably,

0:47:580:48:01

The Sun Always Shines On TV, The Living Daylights,

0:48:010:48:03

Hunting High And Low, Manhattan Skyline,

0:48:030:48:05

Cry Wolf and Summer Moved On.

0:48:050:48:07

Well done if you got one at home.

0:48:070:48:08

Congratulations for your answer in the studio.

0:48:080:48:10

Thanks very much, Rich,

0:48:100:48:11

and thanks once again to our winning players, Don and Tim,

0:48:110:48:14

who go away with today's jackpot of £2,750 for their charities.

0:48:140:48:18

Very well done indeed.

0:48:180:48:19

APPLAUSE

0:48:190:48:21

Join us next time when we'll be putting

0:48:220:48:24

more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.

0:48:240:48:26

Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...

0:48:260:48:28

-Goodbye.

-..and it's goodbye from me.

0:48:280:48:30

Goodbye.
