0:00:34 > 0:00:37Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42And couple number one.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Hi, my name's Marlon Devonish.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48I'm most well known for the four by one relay back in 2004.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Yeah, hi. My name is Jason Gardener,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53and like Marlon, I was on the same team which won gold.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Couple number two.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02I'm Mary Peters and I won a gold medal in the Munich Olympics
0:01:02 > 0:01:04in 1972 in the pentathlon.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07And I'm David Wilkie and I won gold in the 200m breaststroke
0:01:07 > 0:01:09in Montreal in 1976.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- Couple number three. - I'm Tanni Grey-Thompson.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19I'm a Paralympic athlete and I won 11 gold medals.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Hi, I'm Sally Gunnell, a 400 hurdler and the only woman to win world,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26European, Commonwealth and Olympic titles so far.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33And finally, couple number four.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Hi, I'm Tessa Sanderson.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37I've competed in six consecutive Olympic Games
0:01:37 > 0:01:39from 1976 to 1996,
0:01:39 > 0:01:44and I'm still the only one to have won an Olympic throwing gold medal.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Hi, I'm Aled Davies
0:01:45 > 0:01:48and I won the London 2012 Paralympic gold medal in the discus.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51I'm currently the world record holder.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Well, thank you very much, all of you.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Beating smart aleck to silver and clever Dick to bronze,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06it's our golden boy, my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Hiya. Hey, everybody.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- Good evening to you.- Good evening.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14- How are you? - I'm very well, thank you.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16This is going to be very competitive, I think.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18I was just doing some totting up.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22You know, between the ten of us - us two and our eight contestants -
0:02:22 > 0:02:25eight of us have got Olympic gold medals.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- LAUGHTER That is amazing.- Isn't that amazing?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Amazing.- If I just picked two people at random out of this ten -
0:02:31 > 0:02:33say I pick Tanni and me -
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Tanni and I have got 11 gold medals between us.- Between you?- Yeah.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Isn't that incredible?- Incredible. - It's going to be a cracker.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41We've got a few people who've been on before, like Tessa.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43She got all the way through to the head-to-head.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Dame Mary also came on, got through to Round Two.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Sally came on last time with Linford.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- Yes.- And you got knocked out in Round One.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- It can only get better, surely. - You would hope so.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56You would think that Tanni Grey-Thompson
0:02:56 > 0:02:58was an upgrade on Linford, wouldn't you?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- LAUGHTER - You would hope so.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Although Linford will come back at some point with someone else
0:03:03 > 0:03:06and then we'll be able to see. Should be an absolute cracker.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09The first round, everyone here should -
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- should - be pretty good at. - Good luck with that.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13As usual, all of today's questions
0:03:13 > 0:03:15have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Our contestants are looking for
0:03:16 > 0:03:18those all-important pointless answers.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21These are answers that none of our 100 people gave.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Find one of those and we'll add £250 to the jackpot.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Now, as today's show is a celebrity special,
0:03:26 > 0:03:29and each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32we're going to start off with a jackpot of £2,500.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41APPLAUSE
0:03:43 > 0:03:45This is the only rule you have to remember.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46It is this and nothing else.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48The pair with the highest score
0:03:48 > 0:03:50at the end of each round will be eliminated,
0:03:50 > 0:03:53so keep those scores as low as you can possibly make them.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Very, very best of luck.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Oh, and no conferring for the first two rounds.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Our first category this evening is...
0:04:02 > 0:04:04There we go. The Olympic Games.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05- Surprise.- Can you decide in your pairs
0:04:05 > 0:04:08who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:04:27 > 0:04:32Olympic host cities that contain the letters G, O, L or D. Richard.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Yeah, we're simply looking for any official city
0:04:35 > 0:04:37which has hosted a Summer or Winter Olympic Games -
0:04:37 > 0:04:39this is before Rio in 2016 -
0:04:39 > 0:04:42that contain one of those letters and its name, please.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- Very best of luck. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Now, Jason, a warm welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52You, as of last year, are now president of UK Athletics.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- I am indeed. - That's a huge honour, isn't it?- Yes.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58What does that involve from you? What do you do?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Well, I'm pretty much an ambassador for our sport
0:05:01 > 0:05:02in the UK and internationally.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07So, a very prestigious role to be elected to take on.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Wonderful. Also, I want to ask about this two-man bobsleigh thing.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Yeah, that's actually probably one of the best experiences of my life.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Yeah, when I retired, we got together -
0:05:16 > 0:05:20four guys from different sports with no experience of bobsleigh -
0:05:20 > 0:05:22and seen if we can be competitive.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24I paired with actually one of my team-mates,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Dean Macey from athletics,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29and we were a formidable team who were very competitive
0:05:29 > 0:05:32and, in fact, we were offered a chance to go on a European tour,
0:05:32 > 0:05:34but I don't think my body would be able to take
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- another gruelling Olympic campaign. - Quite. Yeah. There we are.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40OK, now, Jason, slightly tough going first, always.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Just a little bit less time than everyone else to think,
0:05:43 > 0:05:47- but what would you like to go for, Jason?- L - Los Angeles.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Los Angeles, says Jason. Los Angeles.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Los Angeles.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Not bad. 32. APPLAUSE
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Gets us off to a good start. 32 for Los Angeles.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Yeah, held the Summer Olympics twice, Los Angeles.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10And that's got an L at the beginning of its name
0:06:10 > 0:06:14and it's also got an O in it and it's got a G in it.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- It doesn't have a D. - If anything, overqualified, I'd say.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Yeah, it's got an awful lot of those letters in it.- Fabulous.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Thank you very much.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Mary, a very warm welcome back to Pointless.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Munich '72 was the year of your gold.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30As a pentathlete, I always wonder, do you have one of the disciplines
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- that you like a little bit less than the others?- Oh, yes.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36My long jump was weaker than the other four events.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- And you always just sort of hoped for that one to be behind you?- Yes.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Oh, dear. And last time you were here, we discussed the...
0:06:43 > 0:06:45You have so many honours now in Belfast.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49You have a stadium named after you at Queen's University.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51You're Lord Lieutenant of Belfast.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54You have the Freedom of Belfast. What else are they going to confer?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57How's that bridge - the Mary Peters Bridge -
0:06:57 > 0:06:59coming on, I wonder? LAUGHTER
0:06:59 > 0:07:01I was honoured with the Companion of Honour
0:07:01 > 0:07:03in last year's New Year's Honours list, as well,
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- which was wonderful.- Oh, wonderful. Mary, what would you like to go for?
0:07:07 > 0:07:12I'd like to go for O, as well, and I'd like to choose Tokyo, 1964.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17Tokyo, says Mary. Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Tokyo.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Good answer. Look at that. APPLAUSE
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Passes 32. We now have a new low score. 24.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Very well played. As you say, 1964.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Also due to hold it again in 2020, Tokyo.- Yeah.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37There we are. Thank you, Richard.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42So, Sally, Barcelona '92 hurdles.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44I mean, what on earth must that be like?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46SHE LAUGHS Does life ever,
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- ever feel the same after that? - Um, your life changes
0:07:49 > 0:07:54overnight completely and nobody can, you know, get you prepared for that.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- No.- So, it is amazing. And I always wish I had a little box
0:07:57 > 0:08:00that I could have put that whole situation in
0:08:00 > 0:08:03cos you're just, you know, going around with this biggest grin
0:08:03 > 0:08:05and you can't really take it all in,
0:08:05 > 0:08:07so I always wanted a little box that I could take it in
0:08:07 > 0:08:09and share it with or look at later, really.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- That whole experience was amazing. - I mean, do you remember?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14You're capable of remembering that spirit of things?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17You do, but I think, as you get older and the time,
0:08:17 > 0:08:20you remember things from the video or you remember things
0:08:20 > 0:08:23from what you've seen in pictures rather than...
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Sometimes, you've just got to take yourself back
0:08:25 > 0:08:26and think about the little things
0:08:26 > 0:08:29that you haven't thought about, which are nice.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Incredible. Now, Sally, what would you like to go for?
0:08:31 > 0:08:36OK, I'm going to go for O as well, and I'm going to go for Stockholm.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Stockholm, says Sally.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Stockholm.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Well, it's right. 32 is our high score, 24 our low.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Passed 32. You've passed 34. Look at that.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Oh, stopped at 3.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55APPLAUSE Look at that.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Fantastic scoring there on podium three.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01That's a great answer, Sally. Over 100 years ago - 1912, Stockholm.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04And it's got an L in it, as well. It's got an O and an L.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- Get out of town! - It's not bad, is it?- No.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I'm going to have a look through and see if anything's got all four.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- Los Angeles was pretty good. - Pretty good. Thank you, Richard.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Tessa, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Now, then, 1984 Los Angeles was your time.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Now, I was looking up, you seem to have every kind of honour going.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26You have all the BEs. You have M, O, C.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30What happens when you get a cluster of those? Which is the most senior?
0:09:30 > 0:09:34- CBE.- CBE. Does that mean you then move the others to one side?
0:09:34 > 0:09:37There I was, thinking I was only 22 as well and done all of that.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41- What can I say?- What can you say? - Never mind. I'm much more older now.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43LAUGHTER All right. So, Tessa,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45what are you up to at the moment?
0:09:45 > 0:09:49I'm working on a fitness video to come out at the end of the year.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- Is this your first fitness video? - Yes, it will be.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Did somebody not beat a path to your door years ago and say,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- "Make a fitness video"?- Well, see, I have been working quite hard
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- on more like a dance routine now...- Right.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02..you know, with Brazilian girls, so I hope that will make an impact.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05And what else have I done? Just lots of other things, actually.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Looking forward to Rio.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Might be going there to do some things with the Games.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- So, it's all good. - Very good. Congratulations.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Now, Tessa, what would you like to go for?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Well, so many have gone for a lot of the things I would have said,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20especially Jason who went for LA.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- Um...- Sorry.- ..I will go for my first Olympics,
0:10:23 > 0:10:27- which was Montreal. - Montreal, says Tessa.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Let's see how many of our 100 people went with Montreal.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- It's right. 32 still our high score. - Come on. Come on.- 3 our low.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- You passed 32.- Come on. Come on.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Down to 19 for Montreal. Not bad.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- APPLAUSE - Not bad.- Not bad.- 19.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Well played, Tessa. Yeah, the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Thanks very much. Well, we're halfway through the round,
0:10:50 > 0:10:53so let's take a quick look at those scores. 3.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54Sally, very well done.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Sally and Tanni looking very strong at this point. Then we travel
0:10:57 > 0:11:00quite a way up to 19, where we find Tessa and Aled.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Then up to 24, Mary and David, and 32, Jason and Marlon.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05I mean, you're not way out in front, but, Marlon,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08we need a low-scoring answer from you to keep you in the game.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Very, very best of luck with that. We'll come back down the line now.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- There we are. Aled, very warm welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- Now, London 2012... - Yeah.- ..was your gold.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25But most exciting - of all of our contestants today,
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- you're actually going out to compete in Rio.- Yeah, yeah.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Hoping to defend that gold medal. - Absolutely.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35- So, what's your schedule between now and then?- A lot of training.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38I'm actually heading out to America to do two months of training
0:11:38 > 0:11:41and then coming back and wrapping myself up in cotton wool
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- so I don't get injured. - Yeah, absolutely.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- What's the climate like in Rio? - To be honest, I try to follow it,
0:11:46 > 0:11:47- but it's all over the shop. - Oh, is it?
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Sometimes, it's raining, there's thunderstorms,
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- but I'm hoping it's just going to be high 30s, sun's out.- OK.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55That's not going to be too much of a challenge?
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- No, no, no. Definitely not. - OK, very good.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Now, Aled, 19 is your score.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04At the moment, Marlon and Jason are our high-scorers on 32,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07so 12 or less keeps you in the game.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- So, I'm going to go with Seoul. - Seoul, says Aled.- Good man.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Seoul. Here is your red line. If you can get below
0:12:14 > 0:12:15this red line with Seoul,
0:12:15 > 0:12:17you are through to the next round.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19How many of our 100 people said Seoul?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Not bad at all. 17. APPLAUSE
0:12:30 > 0:12:33I think you've done enough to see yourselves into the next round.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37- 36 is your total.- Yeah, another very good answer, Seoul.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41- 1988 Summer Olympics. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- Tanni, welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.- Great to have you here.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Now, 11 gold medals. SALLY CHUCKLES
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- Yeah, I did five Games. I did a lot. - 11 gold medals, though.- Yeah.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52I mean, that is just a phenomenal achievement.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- Do you keep them all together? - Erm, they're in a rucksack.- Right.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59LAUGHTER
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- You're now... You sit in the House of Lords.- Yeah.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Very heavily involved. Now, do you enjoy that?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- It's an amazing place to be.- Yeah.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08I mean, it's slightly quirky and a bit strange
0:13:08 > 0:13:12and we have very strange rules, but people listen to what you say -
0:13:12 > 0:13:14mostly, they listen to what we say -
0:13:14 > 0:13:17so it's actually an incredibly interesting
0:13:17 > 0:13:19and fascinating place to be.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21You've thrown yourself into public life.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24A whole, you know, wonderful new career for you there.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Oh, it's a fantastic opportunity and, you know,
0:13:26 > 0:13:30I actually went to the Lords to do all the legislation
0:13:30 > 0:13:32that sort of revolved around 2012,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35like Sunday trading and road closures and all that cool stuff,
0:13:35 > 0:13:38and then have sort of ended up doing other things, as well.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Fantastic. Well, many congratulations.
0:13:41 > 0:13:4436 is our high score at the moment. There you are on 3.
0:13:44 > 0:13:4832 or less guarantees you a place in Round Two.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- I'm going to go for Rome.- Rome.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Rome, says Tanni. Here is your red line.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57If you can get below that red line with Rome,
0:13:57 > 0:13:58you are through to the next round.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01How many of our 100 people said Rome?
0:14:04 > 0:14:05It's right.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10You're through. Very well done indeed.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12- 17.- Hey! Well done.
0:14:12 > 0:14:1520, your total. APPLAUSE
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Great answer, Tanni. That's from 1960.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22They were originally, Rome, due to have the Olympics in 1908
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- and it had to be moved. Do you know why it had to be moved?- No.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Cos Mount Vesuvius erupted.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- Wow.- How about that? - How about that?- Yeah.- Poor Rome.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Yeah, it's all right. I think it survived.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36LAUGHTER Thank you, Richard.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Now, David, very, very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Montreal '76 was your year of glory.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47You were the first swimmer to swim in a swimming cap and goggles.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51I was, and the reason for the cap was because I had rather long hair,
0:14:51 > 0:14:54being a bit of a rebel at university in Miami.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56So, the cap sort of streamlined me.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01And goggles, I wore those way back in 1970 at the Commonwealth Games
0:15:01 > 0:15:03because I hated the chlorine in my eyes.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06You know, you'd come out of a training session,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09your eyes would be streaming because of the chlorine reaction.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11So, I used to have this old sort of swimming mask,
0:15:11 > 0:15:13you know, that I used to wear.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16My coaches said, "David, you know, you're taking the mickey
0:15:16 > 0:15:18"wearing that in training. That's all you've got?"
0:15:18 > 0:15:21And they got smaller and smaller and now they all wear them, so...
0:15:21 > 0:15:24They also, I noticed, they shave all their hair off.
0:15:24 > 0:15:25Did it ever occur to you?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- Cos you swam in full moustache. - Yeah.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- LAUGHTER - I mean, Mark Smith started that,
0:15:29 > 0:15:31but I didn't take that after him.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34No, we shaved every single part of our body
0:15:34 > 0:15:36apart from what was under our swimming trunks,
0:15:36 > 0:15:38but that just made you go a little bit faster.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Do you ever think maybe if you'd shaved off here,
0:15:40 > 0:15:42you might have shaved off a few seconds, as well?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I don't think so. It's not that thick.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46And I swam breaststroke, so my head was above the water.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- There we are.- Yeah. - It's lovely to have you here, David.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Thank you.- There you are on 24.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54The high score is still Aled and Tessa at this stage on 36.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- 11 or less is what we require from you.- OK.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59I'll go for Sochi.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Sochi. Sochi, says David.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Here is your red line. If you can get
0:16:04 > 0:16:05below that with Sochi,
0:16:05 > 0:16:07you are through to the next round.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- It's right.- It's right.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16It's low.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17You've done it. Look at that.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Very well done indeed. 9 is what you got.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21APPLAUSE 11 was what you needed.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Up to 33, you go.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Yeah, 2014. That still only scored 9 points. Amazing.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- Extraordinary.- Sochi in Russia. - Thank you, Richard.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35Marlon. Marlon, a very, very warm welcome to Pointless for you.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Now, tell me, in the relay, I always imagine
0:16:37 > 0:16:39that's kind of double the pressure for relay running
0:16:39 > 0:16:41cos it's kind of a...
0:16:41 > 0:16:43It's an individual sport and a team sport,
0:16:43 > 0:16:46so you have sort of the pressure of all your other runners
0:16:46 > 0:16:49as well as the pressure you put on yourself. Is that...?
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- Well, actually, it's actually the opposite.- Really?
0:16:52 > 0:16:55You get to share the stress between the four of you.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57So, you go through the different call rooms,
0:16:57 > 0:16:59then you go through the warm up area,
0:16:59 > 0:17:01then you go through to the stage area
0:17:01 > 0:17:02and you can share the stress together,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- so it's not that bad at all. - All right.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06So, it's a bit like us doing a double act.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Oh, yeah. Very similar. Except we endlessly drop the baton.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- I do, don't I?- Yeah.- I do. LAUGHTER
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Um, Marlon, also, you've been coaching sprinting
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- at Gloucester rugby team. - Yes, I am.- How has that been?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20It's absolutely amazing. Really enjoying my time out there.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- It's a different capacity, obviously, with athletics.- Yeah.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25So, working with the boys is exciting
0:17:25 > 0:17:29- and the guys are doing really well. - Any of them getting close to you?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- Um...- No.- I'm a lot older now than I used to be, so...
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- LAUGHTER - Not quite. Nearly.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- OK, now, you have a job on your hands here, Marlon.- I know.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42You know what we need from you. It's a score of 3 or less.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- 3 or less.- Come on, Marlon.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49- Oh, good luck.- 3 or less? - LAUGHTER
0:17:49 > 0:17:53I'm going to take a slight guess and say Berlin.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Berlin, says Marlon. Here is your red line.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59If you get below that with Berlin, you are through to Round Two.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Let's see how many of our 100 people said Berlin.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06It's right.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Still going down. Still...
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Oh, no. 18, Marlon. APPLAUSE
0:18:13 > 0:18:17It was a good guess. Very gutsy move.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- Takes your total up to 50. - Unlucky, Marlon.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21Yeah, held the 1936 Olympics.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23See, they were due to hold the 1916 Olympics,
0:18:23 > 0:18:26and that got cancelled. Can you guess why that was?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- Was it cos of war? - It was cos of the war. Exactly that.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- It only just got through in '36. - Yeah, didn't it just?- Yeah.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Now, the answers you could have given that would have got 3 or less.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Mexico City would have got you 3. Helsinki - 3.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39A couple of Winter Olympics cities would have got you 2 -
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Sarajevo and Calgary. Amsterdam and St Louis
0:18:41 > 0:18:44were the lowest-scoring Summer Olympic cities.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45Both would have scored you 1.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Sapporo also would have scored you 1.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Here's the pointless answers. They're all Winter Olympic venues...
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Lake Placid was a pointless answer. Quite a recent one, that.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Nagano. Squaw Valley. There's two more...
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Very well done if you got one of those.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Let's take a look at the top three answers,
0:19:05 > 0:19:07the ones that most of our 100 people said...
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Los Angeles is the second biggest scorer of all with 32.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- And London, unsurprisingly, up the top with 88.- There we are.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Thanks very much, Richard. At the end of our first round,
0:19:19 > 0:19:22the pair we have to say goodbye to with their high score of 50...
0:19:22 > 0:19:25It's not that high a score. It's just higher than everyone else.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28But Marlon and Jason, I'm afraid it's you.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30It's been brilliant having you here.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Sorry to send you home far too soon, but tremendous play.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Marlon and Jason.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Never mind. Thanks very much.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46And so we're down to three pairs.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye
0:19:48 > 0:19:52to another of our Olympian pairs in time for our head-to-head round.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- Well, very well done. Sally... - I'm still here.- ..hats off to you.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- We made it.- Not just still here. Lowest score of the round.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59- I know.- 3 - Stockholm.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02But well done to all three pairs and best of luck for this round.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Our category for it is...
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Natural History. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:20:09 > 0:20:11who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:20:11 > 0:20:14And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22OK, and our question concerns...
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Famous Animals. Famous Animals?
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Yes, I don't know if that is natural history, is it? Or it's celebrity?
0:20:30 > 0:20:32- Or a bit of both? - Yeah, a bit of each.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35On each board, we're going to describe six famous animals.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37You need to tell us what type of animal they are, please.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39We're going to give you the initials, as well.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41So, just what types of animal are they?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44There'll be 12 in all to have a go at at home, so very best of luck.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47OK, so, what types of animals are these?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22I'm going to read all those again quickly.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Mary.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57I'm going to go with Keiko and okra.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Okra. OK, let's see if that's right.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Let's see how many of our 100 people said okra.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- Oh!- Oh, no, Mary.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- I'm so sorry. I'm afraid not okra.- Oh.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15- That scores you 100 points. - Yeah, sorry, not okra.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- Okra is a vegetable. - LAUGHTER
0:22:18 > 0:22:19- Ladies' fingers.- A delicious one.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22And if you were offered it free, you'd take it,
0:22:22 > 0:22:24but not the star of Free Willy.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- Sally?- Um, I'm going to go
0:22:27 > 0:22:31with the last one and Jane Goodall,
0:22:31 > 0:22:33and I think
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- it's a chimpanzee. - Chimpanzee, says Sally.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Let's see if chimpanzee is right.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42It is right.
0:22:45 > 0:22:4753 for chimpanzee. APPLAUSE
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Well played, Sally. Yeah, David Greybeard.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53He would strip twigs
0:22:53 > 0:22:54and use them as, like, sort of
0:22:54 > 0:22:57fishing spikes in termite nests.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58Clever.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Aled, this board is all yours. Do you want to talk us through it?
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Um, well, I was going to go for orca,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07but I think I'm going to go for the...
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Is it panda? Xiang Xiang?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- OK, you're going to say panda.- Yeah.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15OK, let's see how many of our 100 people said panda.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19It's right.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Ooh-hee-hee! Look at that. 84. APPLAUSE
0:23:22 > 0:23:25That brings Mary and David rather more into the game there.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27But 84 - quite a high score.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Yeah, and the other one you were going to go for -
0:23:29 > 0:23:31it's not okra, it is orca -
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- and actually would have been a much better scorer.- Yeah.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38You would have got 58 points for orca. There it is.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- The Tamworth Two... - Pigs.- ..were pigs.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44- 78. Punxsutawney Phil...- Groundhog.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47..is the groundhog from Groundhog Day.
0:23:47 > 0:23:4838 points for that.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51You can probably hazard a guess at this one - Huberta.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- Hyena?- It's not a hyena.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- It's not a horse?- It's not a horse, actually.- Oh, Huberta the horse!
0:23:57 > 0:23:59It is quite hard to...
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Well, it's going to be something alliterative anyway, isn't I?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- Cos it begins with H.- A hippo? It's not a hippo.- It's a hippo.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08- No, it's not!- Yeah, it is a hippo. 14 points.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10OK, well, we're halfway through the round,
0:24:10 > 0:24:12so let's take a look at those scores.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Quite high-scoring, that round.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Sally, 53, you got,
0:24:16 > 0:24:17but that's our low score, so, well done.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Once again, Sally and Tanni
0:24:19 > 0:24:21looking very strong. Up to 84, where we find Aled and Tessa.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24And then, not that far ahead, we find Mary and David.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Now, David, you're the high-scorers, but not by too much,
0:24:27 > 0:24:29so a low score from you could easily keep you in the game.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Best of luck. We'll come back down the line now.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39OK. We're going to put six more clues to Famous Animals
0:24:39 > 0:24:41up on the board.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43And here they are. We have got...
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Now, Tessa, to avoid becoming the new high-scorers,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48you will be wanting to score 15 or less.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51SHE LAUGHS That's asking a lot, I think.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Erm, I think there's only one I think I know on there
0:25:55 > 0:25:57and I'm not sure if it's right.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59I'm going to go for Mr Magoo.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Monkey.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Mr Magoo, monkey. Surely monkey.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Mr Magoo monkey. Let's find out if it's right.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08There is your red line.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10If you get below that, you are definitely in the next round.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Let's see how many of our people said monkey.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17- Oh!- Oh, no.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Not monkey, Tessa.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Oh, that brings David and Mary
0:26:22 > 0:26:23very much back into the game there.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25184 is your total.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- Yeah, not monkey. A good name for a monkey, though.- Oh, isn't it?
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- Mr Magoo the monkey.- Yeah.- I don't think you'd get a pardon, do you?
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- I think it'd be a bit too naughty. - Oh, yes.- Don't you think?
0:26:35 > 0:26:37- A bit cheeky.- A bit cheeky.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- Tanni, you're through.- OK.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- Even if you score 100 points you are still in the head-to-head.- Oh.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- Oh, that's nice.- So that takes a bit of the pressure off.- Relax.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47Erm, oh...
0:26:47 > 0:26:49I'm going to go for Elsa
0:26:49 > 0:26:50who was orphaned
0:26:50 > 0:26:52and the subject of the book.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- So it's lionise. - Elsa was a lioness, says Tanni.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57No red line for you because you're already through.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Let's see how many of our 100 people said Elsa.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05It's right. Oh! 83 for Elsa.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07APPLAUSE
0:27:07 > 0:27:09There we are. But you're through.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10136 is your total.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Yeah, she used to sleep on camp beds rather than the floor, Elsa.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15That's what she preferred.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- And good luck getting her down, by the way.- Yeah.- Can you imagine?
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Like, with a dog, you can say, "No, you don't sleep there."
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- If Elsa wants to sleep on a camp bed...- Yeah, I'll go on the floor.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- It's fine.- Yeah, you're fine. I've got a little blow-up bed anyway.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27I'll sleep on that, Elsa.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28Thanks very much, Richard.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Now then, David, back in the game after that score from Tessa.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35100 is your total, 184 is the highest score.
0:27:35 > 0:27:3783 or less gets you through.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Do you want to talk us through that board, David,
0:27:39 > 0:27:41and fill in some of our blanks?
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Unsinkable Sam, I mean, I would be thinking about a cat
0:27:45 > 0:27:51but I think a lot of people will know G, London zoo.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- We need how many, 83?- 83.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58I'm going to go for G, gorilla.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Gorilla, says David, at London zoo.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Sharp intake of breath from someone in the audience there.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06I'm hoping that's for a good reason.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10There is your red line. Let's see if gorilla is right.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16It's right. And you're through.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Very, very well done indeed. 71. APPLAUSE.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Not too much to spare but good enough.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21171 is your total.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Well played, David. Through by a fingertip there. Very well done.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Yeah, Guy the gorilla. Do you know why he was called Guy the gorilla?
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- No.- He arrived in London Zoo on the 5th November
0:28:32 > 0:28:34- so they named him after Guy Fawkes. - There we are.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Let's fill in the rest of these.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38- David, you're right about the cat. - Cat, yeah.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39It would've been a perfectly good guess
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- and would've scored you 47 points. - Yes.- Unsinkable Sam.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46- Cher Ami.- A pigeon.- A pigeon, yeah. - Oh.- Would have scored 25.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Yes, porpoise was never going to be right there.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50- No, no, no. - LAUGHTER
0:28:50 > 0:28:52- Knut, do you remember that story? - Oh, polar bear.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54- Yeah, the lovely polar bear. - Lovely Knut.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Would have scored you 56.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57Now, this isn't a monkey,
0:28:57 > 0:28:59it's the best answer on the board by some way.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01It's such a good name for this animal as well.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03- It's a m...- Marmoset?- No.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- M...- M... Mo...
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Mon...
0:29:10 > 0:29:12- Mong...- Mon...goose.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15- Mongoose.- Mongoose. Wow, well done. It is mongoose.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- That didn't take me long.- 1 point. 1 point, you would have got.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- Wonderful.- Fantastic. - Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23So, at the end of our Second Round...
0:29:23 > 0:29:24- Oh, well.- I'm so sorry, Tessa and Aled,
0:29:24 > 0:29:27we have to say goodbye to you with your highest score of 184.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29- Never mind.- Oh, but that was close. Look at those scores.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31- It's been lovely having you here. - Lovely to be here.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33I was thinking third time lucky, Tess.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35I was sure there was a place in the final for you.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36I was hoping but, you know.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38- Good luck to you guys. - You'll just have to come back.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40- Thanks so much. Tessa and Aled. - Thank you.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43- APPLAUSE - Thank you.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47But for Sally and Tanni, David and Mary,
0:29:47 > 0:29:49it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Congratulations Sally, Tanni, David and Mary.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57You're now one step closer to the final
0:29:57 > 0:30:02and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £2,500.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06There we are. APPLAUSE
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Well, this is the point where we decide who goes through
0:30:08 > 0:30:11to play for that jackpot and we do it by making you play as teams.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14You go head-to-head, first pair to win two questions
0:30:14 > 0:30:15will be playing for that jackpot.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18But the big difference is you're now allowed to confer which is lovely.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- So, you can chat before giving your answers.- That's good.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Well, Sally and Mary, you've both been on Pointless before
0:30:23 > 0:30:27- but I don't think either of you have been as far as the head-to-head.- No.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- Definitely not.- No, it's exciting, isn't it?- Yes. It's very exciting.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31Very, very good indeed.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Well, we've had strong performances from each of you
0:30:33 > 0:30:35so I think this should be pretty close.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38I'm sure it will be competitive anyway. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Let's play the head-to-head.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:30:54 > 0:30:58People Who Share A Name With The NATO Phonetic Alphabet. Richard.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Yes, we're going to show you five pictures of famous people now.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03They all share a name with a letter of that alphabet.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Just tell us the most obscure of these five people, please.
0:31:06 > 0:31:07Thanks very much indeed.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10OK, let's reveal our five people and here they come.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12We've got...
0:31:41 > 0:31:42There we are.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Five people who share their name with a letter
0:31:44 > 0:31:46of the NATO phonetic alphabet.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Now, Sally and Tanni,
0:31:48 > 0:31:50you've been our low-scorers so you will go first.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- Which ones that one?- Erm...
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Oh, no.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57- No, go with A.- Yeah, OK.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- Yeah?- Yeah, I think so.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03We're going to go for A
0:32:03 > 0:32:05and the answer is Romeo Beckham.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09Romeo, says Sally and Tanni.
0:32:09 > 0:32:14Now, David and Mary, do you want to talk us through the others?
0:32:14 > 0:32:16THEY LAUGH
0:32:16 > 0:32:19You're joking. Erm...
0:32:19 > 0:32:23We're going to go B, Oscar - Oscar Wilde.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24Oscar Wilde.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28So, we have Romeo and we have Oscar Wilde.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Now then, Sally and Tanni... Oh, Tanni, talking of names,
0:32:31 > 0:32:34I read somewhere Tanni, actually, is a nickname, isn't it?
0:32:34 > 0:32:36- Yes.- You weren't christened Tanni.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37No, I was christened Carys
0:32:37 > 0:32:40but I've got an older sister who didn't like the name
0:32:40 > 0:32:42and so, sort of, a day in just changed it
0:32:42 > 0:32:45and screamed the house down until everyone called me Tanni.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47- MARY LAUGHS - That's it.- That's lovely.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- And that's what you are now, that's what everyone calls you.- Yeah.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52OK. So, Sally and Tanni have gone for Romeo.
0:32:52 > 0:32:53Let see if that's right for A.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Let's see how many of our 100 people said Romeo.
0:32:59 > 0:33:00It's right.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07- Ooh.- 24. APPLAUSE
0:33:07 > 0:33:0924 for Romeo.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13How's that going to fare against Oscar
0:33:13 > 0:33:15which David and Mary have said for B.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Let's see how many of our 100 people said Oscar Wilde.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22It's right.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- Ooh.- Oh!- Oh, look at that. 33 for Oscar.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30- APPLAUSE - Well done.
0:33:30 > 0:33:31Very well done Sally and Tanni.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34- After one question, your up 1-0. - Well played.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37The bottom line of that board is quite tough, isn't it?
0:33:37 > 0:33:38C, in fact, is a pointless answer.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40It's the American singer-songwriter
0:33:40 > 0:33:41India Arie.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Well done if you said that. Terrific answer.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Next to her is...
0:33:46 > 0:33:48- Juliet Stevenson.- Juliet Stevenson.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Would have scored you 9.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53And Neighbours fans will know E.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55It's Delta Goodrem.
0:33:56 > 0:33:587 points for that.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00There we are. Thank you, Richard.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02So, here we go, second question time.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04David and Mary, you get to answer this one first,
0:34:04 > 0:34:07but you have to win it to stay in the game so very best of luck.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09It concerns...
0:34:12 > 0:34:14John Williams Film Themes. Richard.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16We'll play you five clips now
0:34:16 > 0:34:18from film themes composed by John Williams.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20You need to tell us the name of the film
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- for which they were first composed, please. Good luck.- OK.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26So, let's hear our five clips.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29And here they come. We've got A.
0:34:47 > 0:34:48Here's B.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15Here is C.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Here is D.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04And here is E.
0:36:27 > 0:36:28OK.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32Now, David and Mary, which is the most obscure of those do you think?
0:36:32 > 0:36:36Well, I'm not very good at these film themes.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41The only one I really would hazard a guess at would be A, Star Wars.
0:36:41 > 0:36:46A, Star Wars, say David and Mary. A, Star Wars.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50Sally and Tanni, do you want to talk us through the others?
0:36:50 > 0:36:52- Oh, talk us through!- Oh.- Gosh.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56You don't have do but you could always just hazard a guess.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Well, we think E might be Jaws.
0:36:58 > 0:37:03- D, we both... Like, it's some kids film.- Yeah, but I don't know it.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05- We really can't think what it is. - Yeah.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09So, we're going to go for B. You got this, go on.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13- Jurassic Park, B.- B, Jurassic Park.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16So, David and Mary said A was Star Wars.
0:37:16 > 0:37:17A, Star Wars. Let's see if that's right.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21Let's see how many of our 100 people said Star Wars for A.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26- Oh.- Ooh.- Bad luck.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Not Star Wars, I'm afraid.
0:37:28 > 0:37:33Meanwhile, Sally and Tanni have gone for B, Jurassic Park.
0:37:33 > 0:37:34Let's see if that's right.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Let's how many people went for Jurassic Park.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39If it's right, you will go through to the final.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43It is right!
0:37:43 > 0:37:44Very well done indeed.
0:37:46 > 0:37:4928 for Jurassic Park. APPLAUSE
0:37:49 > 0:37:50Very well done.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53And it means, Sally and Tanni, that after only two questions,
0:37:53 > 0:37:55you are straight through to the final, 2-0.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Very well played. David and Mary, I'm with you on those,
0:37:57 > 0:37:59I'm terrible at them. There's something...
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- You kind of recognise them but...- Yeah.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03I thought A was Star Wars as well.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- A was...was it E.T.?- E.T.- E.T, yes. - Yeah, I thought so.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08E.T. the first one. I'm terrible...
0:38:08 > 0:38:11I literally have, kind of... You know, I can't do them at all.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- 15 points for E.T. as well.- 15!
0:38:14 > 0:38:16So, C, let's have a little listen to it.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22- It's 11 points if you said Schindler's List.- Oh.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24Oh, we did get it, you said that.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Now D, let's hear a tiny bit.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30You said it's from a kids film.
0:38:30 > 0:38:31Home Alone.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33- Ah.- Oh, OK.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- I've watched that so many times. - Anybody get that out there?
0:38:36 > 0:38:393 points that would have scored you. So it's a terrific answer.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42And E, I did get this one.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- Oh, yes.- Yeah.- I thought you, as a swimmer, David, might have got this.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49- LAUGHTER - Jaws?- Jaws.- Yeah, exactly.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52And Jaws would have scored you 38 points.
0:38:52 > 0:38:53Why am I so terrible at that?
0:38:53 > 0:38:56If these things have got lyrics and stuff, I'm good, but that's...
0:38:56 > 0:39:01That first one, is there not a little motif in E.T.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03that sounds a bit like the motif from Star Wars?
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Do you know, there are sort of slightly Superman-y, E.T.ish,
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Star Wars-y crossover. Just little bits with John Williams.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12- He's ripping himself off so that's OK, right?- Well, exactly.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15- Autoplagiarism, nothing wrong with that.- Sorry?
0:39:15 > 0:39:17- Autoplagiarism.- Oh, autoplagiarism, sorry.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19- LAUGHTER - I'm so sorry.
0:39:19 > 0:39:20I'm so sorry.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Well, thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:39:24 > 0:39:26David and Mary, I'm afraid it's you.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28- Never mind.- Lovely to have you with us this evening.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30And I'm sorry we didn't get you through to the final,
0:39:30 > 0:39:33- but, Mary, it's one step better than last time.- Yes.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Next time you both come, I'm sure it will be the final, nothing less.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38But in the meantime, thank you so much. David and Mary.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40- Wonderful.- Thank you.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Thanks a lot. Well done.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46But for Sally and Tanni, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Well, congratulations, Sally and Tanni,
0:39:51 > 0:39:53you have reached the final.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55You fought off all the competition
0:39:55 > 0:39:57and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:40:05 > 0:40:06for your charities.
0:40:06 > 0:40:11And at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,500.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14APPLAUSE
0:40:14 > 0:40:15Well, I think we've tested you,
0:40:15 > 0:40:17I think we've tested you fairly thoroughly.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20We had Olympic Host Cities to start with, Famous Animals,
0:40:20 > 0:40:22then we had Phonetic Alphabet,
0:40:22 > 0:40:24people who share their names with them
0:40:24 > 0:40:26and John Williams Soundtracks.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29What would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:40:29 > 0:40:32- Not athletic and not politics. - Yeah, that would be good.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35- Anything but that.- Anything but, yeah.- Anything else but.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38- Yes. Anything but our spheres of expertise. OK.- Yes.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40As always, you know what happens,
0:40:40 > 0:40:41we put four categories on the board
0:40:41 > 0:40:43and we just have to hope there's something
0:40:43 > 0:40:45you quite like the look of in there.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Let's see what today's selection looks like.
0:40:47 > 0:40:48We've got...
0:40:58 > 0:40:59Wow.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03- TANNI LAUGHS - So we've got to pick one of them?
0:41:03 > 0:41:05- Kind of, yes.- Are we choosing?
0:41:06 > 0:41:10Royal Families, well, I think we might be all right on that.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13You've had dinner with the Queen a few times, you'll be right.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15LAUGHTER
0:41:15 > 0:41:18- Pub sports? A bit of darts, that might be.- Bit of darts, bit of pool.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Snooker. We might be all right at that one. Shall we go Pub Sports?
0:41:21 > 0:41:24- Yeah, go on.- Come on then. - Yeah.- OK, Pub Sports, here we come.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26OK, very best of luck.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Three different questions all on different pub sports.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31The first one is, we're looking for the name
0:41:31 > 0:41:36of any world chess champion, please, from 1886 through to 2015.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38We are looking for any snooker world champion
0:41:38 > 0:41:40from 1977 through to 2015.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44Or we're looking for any non-English darts world champion, please,
0:41:44 > 0:41:50from 1978 up to 2015 in either PDC or BDO.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52So, world chess champion, snooker world champions
0:41:52 > 0:41:55or non-English darts world champions.
0:41:55 > 0:41:56- Best of luck.- Thanks very much.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Now, as always, you've got up to a minute
0:41:58 > 0:42:00to come up with three answers
0:42:00 > 0:42:02and all you need to win that jackpot for your charities
0:42:02 > 0:42:04is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06- Are you ready?- Ready? Yes.- Yes.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09- OK.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.- Right.
0:42:09 > 0:42:10There we are. Your time starts now.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12So, snooker world champions.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15- I'm thinking Steve Davis... - He won't be pointless.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17- ..Ronnie...- O'Sullivan. - ..O'Sullivan,
0:42:17 > 0:42:18John Parrott.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Who's the guy with the big glasses?
0:42:20 > 0:42:22- Taylor. Yeah, Dennis Taylor. - Dennis Taylor.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26- Let's do that. Dennis Taylor will be a good one.- Dennis Taylor.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Do you know any non-English darts world champs?
0:42:29 > 0:42:32- Not a clue. World chess champions. - World chess champions?
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Who's that Russian guy who played against the computer?
0:42:35 > 0:42:37I know the guy, I wouldn't know his name.
0:42:38 > 0:42:39Oh.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41- Snooker, let's go back to snooker. - Snooker.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45We've got three answers there. Anybody else within snooker?
0:42:49 > 0:42:52- Non-English darts... - Hurricane Higgins.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55- Oh, yeah, Alex Higgins. - Alex Higgins.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57He's not going to be pointless. Oh.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59World chess.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01- That is so hard.- 10 seconds left.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03- Who was the one that was on Sport Relief?- Oh.
0:43:06 > 0:43:07We're going to have to just go with
0:43:07 > 0:43:10- world...snooker world champions. - Yeah. Oh, isn't this pointless.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12OK, that is your time up.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14I now need your three answers.
0:43:14 > 0:43:15What are you going to go for?
0:43:15 > 0:43:18- And if you say which category you're answering.- OK.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21- So, it's going to be snooker.- They are all going to come from snooker.
0:43:21 > 0:43:26- Mm-hm.- So, we're going to go with Dennis Taylor.- Dennis Taylor, yeah.
0:43:26 > 0:43:28- Dennis Taylor.- Dennis Taylor.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31- Alex Higgins.- Alex Higgins.
0:43:31 > 0:43:34- Shall we go John Parrott?- Yeah. - I think he's world. He must've done.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36- Yeah.- Let's go John Parrott. - Let's go for that.
0:43:36 > 0:43:39And John Parrott. OK, of those three, which is your best shot
0:43:39 > 0:43:42- at a pointless answer, do you think? - Dennis Taylor.- Dennis Taylor.
0:43:42 > 0:43:45Dennis Taylor we put last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:43:45 > 0:43:48- John Parrott.- Parrott, yeah. - John Parrott we'll put first.
0:43:48 > 0:43:49And here they are.
0:43:49 > 0:43:53We've got John Parrott, Alex Higgins and Dennis Taylor.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56Well, very, very best of luck. Three good answers on the board there.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58If one of those turns out to be pointless,
0:43:58 > 0:44:00you will win that jackpot for your charities.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03What charities are you playing for? Sally, you first.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06I'm the Chestnut Tree House which is a children's respite
0:44:06 > 0:44:09for children that are terminally ill down in Brighton area.
0:44:09 > 0:44:10Tanni?
0:44:10 > 0:44:14Mine is the Snowdon Trust who help support disabled people
0:44:14 > 0:44:15into higher and further education.
0:44:15 > 0:44:16Wonderful.
0:44:16 > 0:44:19APPLAUSE
0:44:19 > 0:44:21Two very good charities there.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24Let's hope one of these answers will win that jackpot
0:44:24 > 0:44:26for those charities. Very, very best of luck.
0:44:26 > 0:44:28Your first answer was John Parrott.
0:44:28 > 0:44:31In all three cases here we're looking for world snooker champions.
0:44:31 > 0:44:33John Parrott, you thought, was probably your least likely
0:44:33 > 0:44:36to be pointless. Only one of them has to be pointless, remember,
0:44:36 > 0:44:38for you to win that jackpot. So, let's find out
0:44:38 > 0:44:40how many of our 100 people said John Parrott.
0:44:40 > 0:44:42For £2,500, is it pointless?
0:44:46 > 0:44:48It's right.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50All it has to be now is pointless and you will leave here
0:44:50 > 0:44:53- with that jackpot of £2,500 for your charities.- No.
0:44:53 > 0:44:55John Parrott now taking us down through the teens.
0:44:55 > 0:44:58- Into single figures. 7 for John Parrott. What about that?- Wow.
0:44:58 > 0:45:01APPLAUSE
0:45:02 > 0:45:04- Well done.- That's a great score. - I know.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06- Annoyingly in this last round... - Quite.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08..we only want pointless answers though
0:45:08 > 0:45:11so I'm afraid you have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:45:11 > 0:45:14Alex Higgins is your next answer.
0:45:14 > 0:45:16Again, it has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:45:16 > 0:45:19So, for £2,500, let's find out how many of our 100 people named
0:45:19 > 0:45:22Alex Higgins as a world snooker champion.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27It's right.
0:45:27 > 0:45:31John Parrott, your first answer, took us all the way down to 7.
0:45:31 > 0:45:34Alex Higgins now takes us down through the 30s and the 20s,
0:45:34 > 0:45:36into the teens... Ooh, 14.
0:45:36 > 0:45:39- APPLAUSE - We're doing pretty well.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41These are all great scores.
0:45:41 > 0:45:44You'd take that score any time in normal game play.
0:45:44 > 0:45:46Sadly, as I mentioned,
0:45:46 > 0:45:48it's only pointless answers in this last round.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51So, your third and final answer is what everything is riding on.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53Very, very best of luck. Dennis Taylor.
0:45:55 > 0:45:57We're looking for world snooker champions.
0:45:57 > 0:45:59If nobody mentioned Dennis Taylor, you leave with £2,500
0:45:59 > 0:46:00for your charities.
0:46:00 > 0:46:03Let's see how many people said Dennis Taylor.
0:46:05 > 0:46:07It's right.
0:46:07 > 0:46:11John Parrott, your first answer, took us down to 7.
0:46:11 > 0:46:13Alex Higgins, your next answer,
0:46:13 > 0:46:14- took us down to 14.- Come on!
0:46:14 > 0:46:17Dennis Taylor passes 14. Passes 7.
0:46:17 > 0:46:18Oh, no! Four.
0:46:18 > 0:46:21APPLAUSE
0:46:25 > 0:46:27Three excellent answers there.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30I'm afraid, though, there wasn't a pointless answer among them,
0:46:30 > 0:46:32I'm sorry to say.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35So, I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500.
0:46:35 > 0:46:37However, as it's a Celebrity Special,
0:46:37 > 0:46:39we are going to donate £500 to each celebrity pair
0:46:39 > 0:46:41for their respective charities. So, there you are.
0:46:41 > 0:46:43- It has been brilliant having you on. - Thank you.
0:46:43 > 0:46:46And you get a Pointless trophy to take home. So, there we are.
0:46:46 > 0:46:49- APPLAUSE Absolutely wonderful.- Really good.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51Yeah, it's been great fun and great that between the four us,
0:46:51 > 0:46:54we've still got those 12 gold medals. It's lovely, you know.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56- LAUGHTER - It's nice. Nice for us.
0:46:56 > 0:46:57Now, I know lots of people at home,
0:46:57 > 0:46:59if you love any of these three things,
0:46:59 > 0:47:01you'll have been shouting out pointless answers.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03So let's take you through the different pointless answers.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05If you know your chess,
0:47:05 > 0:47:07you'll definitely have got a couple of these.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09One of the most famous chess players of all time
0:47:09 > 0:47:11Jose Raul Capablanca was a pointless answer.
0:47:11 > 0:47:12Two very, very recent world champs here,
0:47:12 > 0:47:14Viswanathan Anand and Vladimir Kramnik.
0:47:14 > 0:47:17And widely considered to be the first ever world champion,
0:47:17 > 0:47:19Wilhelm Steinitz, also a pointless answer.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21The only ones who scored points there,
0:47:21 > 0:47:23Gary Kasparov was the one you are thinking of
0:47:23 > 0:47:25who played against the computer, he scored a lot of points,
0:47:25 > 0:47:28Bobby Fischer, Boris Spassky, Vasily Smyslov,
0:47:28 > 0:47:32Anatoly Karpov, Magnus Carlson, also Tal, Lasker and Botvinnik,
0:47:32 > 0:47:33all of those scored points.
0:47:33 > 0:47:35Everyone else was a pointless answer.
0:47:35 > 0:47:36Snooker world champions,
0:47:36 > 0:47:39there's only one pointless answer on the whole board.
0:47:39 > 0:47:40Sorry to break this to you.
0:47:40 > 0:47:42Ken Doherty was the only one up there.
0:47:42 > 0:47:451 point for Neil Robertson, Joe Johnson, Sean Murphy,
0:47:45 > 0:47:46Peter Ebdon, Stuart Bingham.
0:47:46 > 0:47:482 points for John Higgins and John Spencer
0:47:48 > 0:47:50also would've been a very good answer there.
0:47:50 > 0:47:52Steve Davis, the biggest scorer of all.
0:47:52 > 0:47:55Now, non-English darts world champions.
0:47:55 > 0:47:57And you'd have won it with
0:47:57 > 0:48:00the 2015 world champion, Gary Anderson, amazingly.
0:48:00 > 0:48:03Les Wallace, McDanger they called him
0:48:05 > 0:48:06Christian Kist, also,
0:48:06 > 0:48:07and Leighton Rees, the Welshman,
0:48:07 > 0:48:09also would have been a pointless answer there.
0:48:09 > 0:48:13The only ones that scored points, Jocky Wilson, Raymond van Barneveld,
0:48:13 > 0:48:14Michael van Gerwen, John Part,
0:48:14 > 0:48:17Tony David and Jelle Klaasen, they all scored points.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19Very well done if you got a pointless answer at home.
0:48:19 > 0:48:22It's been a terrific show and I'm sorry we didn't give you
0:48:22 > 0:48:23the final question you wanted.
0:48:23 > 0:48:26Thanks, Richard, and thanks once again, Sally and Tanni.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28- It's been lovely having you. - Thank you.- It's been great.
0:48:28 > 0:48:30Join us next time when we'll be putting
0:48:30 > 0:48:32more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:48:32 > 0:48:34- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:48:36 > 0:48:39APPLAUSE
