0:00:16 > 0:00:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:23 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,

0:00:25 > 0:00:28and a very warm welcome to Pointless Celebrities,

0:00:28 > 0:00:30the show where obvious answers mean nothing,

0:00:30 > 0:00:32and obscure answers mean everything.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40And couple number one?

0:00:40 > 0:00:43Hello. I'll go first. I'm Lucy Porter, and I'm a writer

0:00:43 > 0:00:46and comedian and I've been here before.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48I was on Pointless before,

0:00:48 > 0:00:51and got beaten by John McCririck and his lovely wife.

0:00:51 > 0:00:57Er, and, so, I'm here to kind of avenge that loss today.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59I'm Rob Deering, comedian.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02And, yeah, I'm like a poor man's John McCririck.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04No, you're not!

0:01:09 > 0:01:11- Couple number two! - Well, I'm Stanley Johnson,

0:01:11 > 0:01:13I'm an environmentalist, I'm a writer.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16I've been on this show before, only got through to the second round.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18But we're hoping to do better this time.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21And I want to say, I'm the father of all the Johnsons, including...

0:01:21 > 0:01:24Rachel!

0:01:24 > 0:01:30I'm daughter of Stanley, my name's Rachel Johnson, and I'm a

0:01:30 > 0:01:35columnist, a journalist, novelist, presenter, whatever.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37- And a brilliant daughter.- Aw!

0:01:42 > 0:01:43Couple number three.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46I'm John Shuttleworth, versatile singer-organist,

0:01:46 > 0:01:49from Sheffield, South Yorkshire!

0:01:49 > 0:01:54And I'm Dave Gorman, a non-versatile comedian from Staffordshire.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01And, finally, couple number four!

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Hi, I'm Charlotte Crosby,

0:02:03 > 0:02:07and I am from a popular MTV show called Geordie Shore.

0:02:07 > 0:02:12I'm Carol McGiffin, and I'm a writer and sometimes I'm on telly!

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Thank you very much, all of you. A very warm welcome to Pointless.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20We'll get to chat to you each throughout the show as it goes along.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce, on a

0:02:23 > 0:02:26long-distance phone call with the factual future - reverse charges,

0:02:26 > 0:02:29I might add - it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard!

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Hiya. Hi, everybody!

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Good evening. Good evening to you.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Good evening.- This is going to be a hard-fought show, I think.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40Podium one - Lucy has been on before, she's got through to the

0:02:40 > 0:02:43head-to-head, and now she's on with Rob, who is not only a very funny

0:02:43 > 0:02:46comic, but a very, very good quizzer as well. So they're going to be tough to beat.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49Podium two - Stanley and Rachel, also been here before.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51And they've got that father-daughter thing,

0:02:51 > 0:02:53the power of that family unit I think will be hard to beat.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Podium three - Dave, again, super bright.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58John - literally no idea what's going to happen with him.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01But we shall see. It could go either way, right?

0:03:01 > 0:03:03And podium four - Carol has been on twice before...

0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Mm-hmm.- ..and has been knocked out in the first round both times.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10- Both times.- So, Charlotte, a lot, a lot of pressure on your shoulders.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12- I think I can do it. - I think you can, too.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16Round One, looking at the quality on display, in Round One I could almost

0:03:16 > 0:03:19guarantee there will be a pointless answer.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23- Almost guarantee. - Listen to that buzz!

0:03:23 > 0:03:26There you go. OK. Now, as usual, all of today's questions have been put

0:03:26 > 0:03:29to 100 people before the show. Our contestants here are looking for

0:03:29 > 0:03:32those all-important pointless answers, these being answers

0:03:32 > 0:03:33that none of our 100 people gave.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36Find one of those and we will add £250 to the jackpot.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39Now, as today's show is a celebrity special,

0:03:39 > 0:03:41each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity.

0:03:41 > 0:03:46We start off with a jackpot of £2,500. There we are.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless!

0:03:56 > 0:03:59So, remember this - the pair with the highest score at the end of each

0:03:59 > 0:04:01round will be eliminated,

0:04:01 > 0:04:04the pair with the highest score - so keep your scores low.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06And no conferring until we get to the head-to-head round.

0:04:06 > 0:04:10Best of luck with all that. Our first category today is...

0:04:10 > 0:04:12It's a words round.

0:04:12 > 0:04:16Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?

0:04:16 > 0:04:19And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes. We gave 100

0:04:26 > 0:04:30people 100 seconds to name as many words ending

0:04:30 > 0:04:33in "gle" as they could.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37- Words ending "gle", Richard.- Yep, we're looking for any word which has

0:04:37 > 0:04:40its own entry in the British and world English section

0:04:40 > 0:04:43of OxfordDictionaries.com, please, that ends "gle". As always,

0:04:43 > 0:04:46no proper nouns, no hyphenated words, anything like that.

0:04:46 > 0:04:47Just any word that ends "gle".

0:04:47 > 0:04:50There are loads of pointless answers in here - loads.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53- I'll have a little think about yours.- Yes. Thank you.

0:04:53 > 0:04:57Lucy, tell me about this parent and child comedy club you've got going.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00Yes, Screaming With Laughter it's called.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03- Screaming...!- There's a lot of screaming and a lot of laughter.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05It's for parents and carers with babies under one,

0:05:05 > 0:05:09and they come along and have a night out, but in the afternoon.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12And so I get all my comedian mates to come along and do it.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15And it's nice for comedians, because normally, when members of the

0:05:15 > 0:05:19audience throw up or wet themselves, it's a bad thing

0:05:19 > 0:05:24whereas it's a lot cuter when it happens in this context.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27Fantastic. Now, Lucy - words ending "gle".

0:05:27 > 0:05:29OK. I'm going to go death or glory here,

0:05:29 > 0:05:32because I'm not even sure this is a real word.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34I'm going to go for finagle.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38Finagle. Let's find out. Fina... It's a great word.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44It is a word.

0:05:52 > 0:05:533!

0:05:55 > 0:05:583 for finagle - that's a fantastic start to the round!

0:05:58 > 0:06:00That's a very good start, very well played.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02"To get by dishonest or devious means."

0:06:02 > 0:06:07- To finagle.- There you go. OK, now, Rachel, welcome back to Pointless.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Thank you, Xander. - Very good to have you here again.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Now, I want to ask you about your trilogy of Hell novels.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Oh, good. I want to talk about it!

0:06:14 > 0:06:17Yeah! Well, we had Notting Hell, we had Shire Hell,

0:06:17 > 0:06:20- and then we had Fresh Hell.- Well done.- Is that it on the hell front?

0:06:20 > 0:06:23That's it for now. I think that the public has suffered enough,

0:06:23 > 0:06:26and I'm not writing another hell tome for the moment.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29Has anyone approached you for rights for TV or film?

0:06:29 > 0:06:32Somebody please approach me for rights!

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Tell me. Surely somebody has approached you.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Well, I want this to happen! - Don't you think?- Definitely.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39Sunday evenings would be made by that.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Sunday evenings. The new Downton. Let's make it happen.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44Yeah, well, we could do that, we could make that.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Oh, yeah, definitely. Yeah, yeah. - Perfect.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50I don't know how you would play some sort of suburbanite west Londoner. That would be a stretch.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53- Shire Hell, I'd be fine.- Oh, yeah, you could do that as well.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Slide right into that.- Yeah. - OK, now, Rachel.

0:06:55 > 0:06:59Finagle scoring 3. I think we can go even lower than that.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02I don't know if we can. I don't think I've done very well, though.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04- Inveigle.- Inveigle.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07Inveigle. OK, let's see if that's right, let's see...

0:07:07 > 0:07:11We know it's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said inveigle.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19Very good.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21Well, 3 is all we've got so far...

0:07:21 > 0:07:25And you've gone pointless with inveigle! Very well done indeed!

0:07:25 > 0:07:31That adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £2,750.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34And it scores you absolutely nothing.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37Very well done indeed. An early lead there from the Johnsons.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40That's a very good answer. Two great answers so far.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42Very similar words as well - that just means to persuade someone to do

0:07:42 > 0:07:46- something via devious means. To inveigle.- Thank you.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49- John...- Hello, Xander. - Welcome to Pointless.- Are you well?

0:07:49 > 0:07:52I'm very well, thank you. It's lovely to have you here.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55I wanted to ask you about your Eurovision song.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58- What happened there?- Oh... Well, Pigeons In Flight?

0:07:58 > 0:08:00- Yes!- I want to see you tonight...

0:08:00 > 0:08:02I offered it to the Norwegians

0:08:02 > 0:08:05because at the time they used to keep coming last, with nul points.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Anyway...

0:08:07 > 0:08:09They didn't want it, because I wouldn't go and live in Norway.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12So, where does your inspiration come from?

0:08:12 > 0:08:16Well, erm... It can sometimes come from this show.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Really?- I tried to write a song about this show, but I couldn't,

0:08:19 > 0:08:21so I've written another one. Erm...

0:08:21 > 0:08:26Well, it's, er... It's one about having two margarines in the fridge.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28At one time.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30- JAUNTY TUNE BEGINS - It goes a bit like this.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32# Two margarines on the go, it's a

0:08:32 > 0:08:34# Nightmare scenario

0:08:34 > 0:08:36# Two margarines in my life

0:08:36 > 0:08:38# Two margarines to put on my knife

0:08:38 > 0:08:40# Two margarines but which one

0:08:40 > 0:08:43# Should I use to butter my scone?

0:08:43 > 0:08:46# It's a dilemma second to none. #

0:08:46 > 0:08:48Isn't it?

0:08:48 > 0:08:50Ooh.

0:08:50 > 0:08:51Thank you.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57Thank you, John.

0:08:57 > 0:09:01John, what are you going to go for, for words ending "gle"?

0:09:01 > 0:09:03I want to go for boggle, which...

0:09:03 > 0:09:06But with a different meaning. It's a Lancastrian sprite.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08Boggle, says John.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10- Lose us the game!- Let's see...

0:09:10 > 0:09:13Let's see how many of our 100 people said boggle!

0:09:14 > 0:09:16It's a high number.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20- DAVE:- Go on, you're in. You're in. You're in.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Oh, look at that! Look at that,

0:09:24 > 0:09:26not bad at all! 10 for boggle!

0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Well done! - Thank you.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34Yeah, well played, John. "To bamboozle or flummox".

0:09:34 > 0:09:36- To boggle.- To boggle.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39Tuboggle - which of course is something completely different.

0:09:39 > 0:09:43- It's something you slide down a hill on.- Thank you very much, Richard.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46- Erm, Carol, welcome back to Pointless.- Thank you very much.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Something I discovered about you which I didn't know -

0:09:48 > 0:09:51- you're mad keen on photography, aren't you?- I am, yes.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53You have a huge collection of cameras.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56- I do! How do you know that?! - I just discovered this.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59What's your...? Of all your cameras, which is the one you prize the most?

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Oh, it's an old one.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04It'll be the Konica Hexar AF.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06- A Hexar.- Without a doubt, yeah.

0:10:06 > 0:10:10It's weird, because when you use that camera and there are children

0:10:10 > 0:10:12around, like Charlotte, they always go,

0:10:12 > 0:10:15"Can I have a look at the picture on the back?"

0:10:15 > 0:10:17And you go, "Yeah, look." And they get confused.

0:10:17 > 0:10:18"Where's the picture?"

0:10:18 > 0:10:21So, yeah, I'm a big fan of film photography, yeah. Love it.

0:10:21 > 0:10:25I suppose now, people don't really have them any more, so you can probably pick them up quite cheaply,

0:10:25 > 0:10:29- can you, or is that...?- Yeah, you can, but they're becoming more popular, because everyone's realised

0:10:29 > 0:10:32that digital photography is just too prolific. There's too much of it,

0:10:32 > 0:10:36- and there's too many pictures and no-one looks at them.- That's the trouble, no-one ever bothers

0:10:36 > 0:10:39- printing them off. We all carry thousands of them around.- Exactly.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41- Look in an album, looking at pictures...- Yeah, I know.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44We should reintroduce it. Right, erm, Carol - words ending "gle".

0:10:44 > 0:10:47I don't think I've got one that's as good as any of the ones

0:10:47 > 0:10:51that have gone before. But I'm going to go with rectangle.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Rectangle, says Carol.- Yes. - Rectangle - that's earned you

0:10:54 > 0:10:56a vigorous nod from pretty much everyone down the line.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59Let's see how many of our 100 people said rectangle.

0:11:03 > 0:11:07It's right. It's going to be a big, high score, though.

0:11:10 > 0:11:126 for rectangle!

0:11:12 > 0:11:14Very well done indeed!

0:11:14 > 0:11:17- Very good!- That's not bad!

0:11:17 > 0:11:21Well played, Carol. Yeah, rectangle, that means a drunk angle.

0:11:21 > 0:11:25Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.

0:11:25 > 0:11:29Nothing was the best score of the pass. Very well done indeed to you, Rachel.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31Rachel and Stanley, I think you will be in Round Two.

0:11:31 > 0:11:35As Lucy and Rob surely should be, with a lovely low score of 3.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38Then up to 6, where we find Carol and Charlotte, and then up to 10.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41You're not that far ahead, John and Dave but, Dave,

0:11:41 > 0:11:43you know what we need from you -

0:11:43 > 0:11:45- a nice low score to keep you in the game.- Yes.- Best of luck with that.

0:11:45 > 0:11:49We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:11:53 > 0:11:57OK, so, remember we are looking for words ending in "gle".

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Erm, Charlotte...

0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Oh! Am I next?- Welcome to Pointless.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Erm, Charlotte, I want to know about Geordie Shore.

0:12:03 > 0:12:04- Yes.- How...? Because it's sort of...

0:12:04 > 0:12:06What do you call it, structured drama?

0:12:06 > 0:12:09- Is that what it's called?- Ours isn't structured like everyone else's.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11- Right.- We do just live in a house.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13A lot like Big Brother, when me and Carol were in.

0:12:13 > 0:12:17- We've got cameras all over the house.- Yeah.- Which film us 24/7.

0:12:17 > 0:12:18So, it's just really what happens.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21It really is. No-one takes you aside and says, "Come on,

0:12:21 > 0:12:24- "a nice storyline if..."?- No, no. - Really?- Yeah.- Do you find your lives

0:12:24 > 0:12:27become a bit more melodramatic having a camera there?

0:12:27 > 0:12:31I think there's so much history with all of the cast members in there,

0:12:31 > 0:12:34- it's hard to hide from drama. - Yeah. Oh, you can't hide from drama.

0:12:34 > 0:12:39- People annoy you so easily.- Yeah. Do you leave really missing everyone,

0:12:39 > 0:12:42or do you leave swearing you'll never see them again?

0:12:42 > 0:12:45- Just so glad to be gone! - Oh, really?

0:12:45 > 0:12:47Now, Charlotte.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49- Yes.- Words ending "gle".

0:12:49 > 0:12:54Well, I had one, right? But I had a little bit of a problem with it.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57I don't know whether it's in the dictionary.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Ah.- Carol, I'm so sorry.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Oh, stop it, it'll be all right!

0:13:02 > 0:13:05- Go on!- OK. So, it's from Harry Potter.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08- And it's muggle.- Muggle.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11Muggle. Yeah. I'd be very surprised if that wasn't in the dictionary.

0:13:11 > 0:13:16You ideally would be scoring 3 or less to avoid overtaking

0:13:16 > 0:13:20- our high score.- I can't watch! - There is your red line!

0:13:20 > 0:13:24Let's see how far down the column you get with muggle.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26Oh, god, it's not a word...

0:13:26 > 0:13:31- It's right!- Yes!- It's right!

0:13:34 > 0:13:38It scores you 2! SHE SHRIEKS

0:13:38 > 0:13:41- Yes!- This is good news on so many fronts!

0:13:41 > 0:13:43That takes your total up to 8.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46It means Carol gets through to Round Two for the first time in her

0:13:46 > 0:13:49Pointless career. It's very exciting, very well done indeed.

0:13:49 > 0:13:50- Muggle.- Yeah, very well played.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53It does actually come from the Harry Potter books,

0:13:53 > 0:13:55and that's to mean someone without magical powers.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58But now it means anyone who's not conversant in a particular skill

0:13:58 > 0:14:00is called a muggle.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02There you go. OK.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05- Now, Dave.- Yes.- Wow, that puts the pressure on you there.- It does.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08We have to have ideally a pointless answer from you.

0:14:08 > 0:14:12- Yes.- But anyway, before that... - Yes.- Tell us about the bet.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15- You'd better talk to me now because I won't be around for long. - We'd better get it all out now.

0:14:15 > 0:14:19- Danny Wallace and you had a bet. - Yes.- What happened?

0:14:19 > 0:14:23Er, the bet was to see if I could meet 54 people called Dave Gorman,

0:14:23 > 0:14:26and I succeeded in that bet,

0:14:26 > 0:14:28and I've now met something like 108.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32And no matter how much I protest, they won't stop coming to meet me.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34Yeah. That's true, there's a critical mass.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37- Yeah.- Up to a certain point, you have to do all the work...

0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Yeah.- And after that certain point, you've just got to turn away the Daves Gorman.

0:14:40 > 0:14:45There were five people who changed their name by deed poll to Dave Gorman, including two girls.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47- That's nice.- One of them who,

0:14:47 > 0:14:50her boyfriend also changed his name to Dave Gorman,

0:14:50 > 0:14:55and we are hoping for the world's first inter-Dave Gorman marriage.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58Dave, we really need a pointless answer from you...

0:14:58 > 0:15:01- Yes.- ..just to keep you in with a ghost of a chance.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03- What would you like to go for? - The pressure is on.

0:15:03 > 0:15:08Again, there is a word which I think might or might not be in the dictionary. It is...

0:15:08 > 0:15:11a Jamaican dance hall dance.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14- I'm thinking...bogle. - Bogle.- Yeah.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16B-O-G-L-E.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19OK, let's see. No red line for you, because you are the highest scorers.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22But let's see how many of our 100 people said bogle.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27It's right. It's right.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36It scores you 1, Dave, taking your total up to 11!

0:15:39 > 0:15:42Very well played, Dave - might have kept yourself in it there.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44Yeah, not only the Jamaican dance hall dance,

0:15:44 > 0:15:47but also that's the fairy or sprite that John was talking about.

0:15:47 > 0:15:51- That's a bogle.- Is it?- Yes.- Oh! - So, basically we both said bogle.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54- Essentially, yeah.- So, we should have two points, not 11.

0:15:54 > 0:15:59If the Romans were watching this now, they would think you'd got 2 points. So, that's good news.

0:15:59 > 0:16:03Thank you very much indeed. Stanley, welcome back.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06- Lovely to be here.- Now, what I wanted to ask you is,

0:16:06 > 0:16:08one of the things you enjoy the most

0:16:08 > 0:16:11is to watch wild animals in their natural habitats.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14Now, I noticed that you've seen a polar bear in the Arctic.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17How long were you there for, and where did you find it?

0:16:17 > 0:16:19Well, we were going in a ship,

0:16:19 > 0:16:22a Russian research vessel, round Svalbard.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25Svalbard is, you know, north, north, north of Norway.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27There are about 3,000 of them there, in Svalbard.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29They outnumber the inhabitants, don't they?

0:16:29 > 0:16:32Well, there are 3,000 polar bears on Svalbard, and actually in Svlabard

0:16:32 > 0:16:35you are told it is illegal to go walking without carrying a weapon.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38- That's right.- And, yes, I'm jolly lucky to have a chance to do

0:16:38 > 0:16:42all these wonderful things which involve travelling around the world endlessly,

0:16:42 > 0:16:46occasionally coming to Borehamwood, to see wild animals!

0:16:46 > 0:16:49Stanley, I'm slightly reluctant to stop you, but...

0:16:49 > 0:16:52I'm going to ask what your answer is.

0:16:52 > 0:16:57Rachel got a pointless answer. It would be perfect, wouldn't it, if you got one as well.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00I'm actually going to go for pentangle.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02Pentangle. Pentangle.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04That's earned you a murmur from the crowd, which is good.

0:17:04 > 0:17:08Here is your red line. If you get below that red line with pentangle, you're through to the next round.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23Well, it gets you through, and it scores you 3.

0:17:25 > 0:17:273 for pentangle.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31Lovely answer, Stanley, very well played.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34- Yeah, another name for a pentagram. - There you go. OK.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Now, Rob - Richard said that you're a seasoned quizzer.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39- Yes.- He wasn't kidding. I mean,

0:17:39 > 0:17:42you did your first quiz on telly aged 12?

0:17:42 > 0:17:45Yes. I did Crack It. Everyone remembers Crack It, right?

0:17:45 > 0:17:48Yeah. What happened to you in Crack It?

0:17:48 > 0:17:51Well, I got really scared.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53It was all... We had this rehearsal and it went great.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56It was on TV-am, it was on Saturday morning TV.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59- Yeah.- And then when the cameras went on, I went...

0:17:59 > 0:18:01- HE GASPS - Like that.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04And they said, "True or false, Penny Black is a coin?"

0:18:04 > 0:18:05And I went, "True! Aghh!" Like that.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08- And then I was out.- Are you feeling a bit calmer today?

0:18:08 > 0:18:11No. A lot of pressure. Because by now,

0:18:11 > 0:18:13someone's supposed to have messed up!

0:18:13 > 0:18:15You're on 3. Ideally, you would score 7 or less.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17I wanted... My first thought...

0:18:17 > 0:18:19I'm not going to do it but my first thought was dongle.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21I thought, if that's in the dictionary, it's good,

0:18:21 > 0:18:24but then people might say it as well. So, I was inspired by bogle.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27- Bugle. - HE MIMICS A BUGLE

0:18:27 > 0:18:31Oh, I've got you, yes. Bugle. Erm, here's your red line -

0:18:31 > 0:18:33if you can get below this red line with bugle,

0:18:33 > 0:18:36you're into Round Two. Let's see how many of our 100 people said bugle.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44It's a word, it's a word!

0:18:46 > 0:18:50- Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!- Unexpected!

0:18:50 > 0:18:5115 for bugle!

0:18:51 > 0:18:54Unexpected!

0:18:54 > 0:18:56That takes your total up to 18.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59That is a high score - the bugle sounds again, I'm afraid.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01Dongle also would have seen you knocked out,

0:19:01 > 0:19:03because that would have scored you 11 points.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06- Lots and lots of pointless answers here.- Shall I...? - Yeah, have you got one?

0:19:06 > 0:19:10- Quadrangle, is mine.- Quadrangle - it's not what I guessed.

0:19:10 > 0:19:134 Points. Whereas quinquangle was a pointless answer.

0:19:13 > 0:19:17- Oh! That's what you put down for me? - Oh, no, no, no.- Oh, no, phew.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20I put down boondoggle for you. Which was also a pointless answer.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23- You flatter me!- Let's take a look at our pointless answers, shall we?

0:19:23 > 0:19:24All sorts of answers here.

0:19:26 > 0:19:27Fandangle was a pointless answer.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30- Gargle....- Gargle! - Gargle was my first choice!

0:19:30 > 0:19:34Sorry, everyone! I binned gargle for bugle!

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Honeyfuggle. Intermingle.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38Inveigle. Smuggle.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40A pointless answer, amazingly.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42Spreadeagle - that's a lovely pointless answer.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45Squiggle, untangle - lots and lots of pointless answers.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47Let's take a look at the top three scorers,

0:19:47 > 0:19:50the ones that most of our 100 people said.

0:19:57 > 0:19:59There we are. Well, thank you very much indeed.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01What an extraordinary round that was,

0:20:01 > 0:20:04- and what a strange twist in the tail, Rob. Ah!- Gargle.- Gargle...

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Standing here with gargle in my head for ten minutes, I heard bogle,

0:20:06 > 0:20:09I thought, "I know - bugle!" And now we're going home!

0:20:09 > 0:20:12- Oh!- That's life!- Well, we have to say goodbye to you.

0:20:12 > 0:20:13Very, very low score.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16And very well done. Lovely start from Lucy as well.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19- But we'll see you again, I hope, another time.- I'll have to come back to...- You have to.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22But it's been lovely having you on. Rob and Lucy, brilliant.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34And now we're down to three pairs.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36At the end of this round we'll have to say goodbye to another pair but,

0:20:36 > 0:20:38oh, I have plaudits to hand out!

0:20:38 > 0:20:41John and Dave, well done for getting through.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43Very exciting in that last round there.

0:20:43 > 0:20:47- Carol, Round Two, lovely to have you here.- I know! Never known it!

0:20:47 > 0:20:49Charlotte - lovely low score there with muggle.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52- Very well done.- Yep. - And Stanley and Rachel,

0:20:52 > 0:20:54wonderful low-scoring there and a pointless answer, of course.

0:20:54 > 0:20:58It's just getting more and more competitive as each round goes by!

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Best of luck to all three pairs.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Our category for Round Two this evening is...

0:21:02 > 0:21:04Sport.

0:21:04 > 0:21:09Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?

0:21:09 > 0:21:11And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18OK, and the question concerns...

0:21:18 > 0:21:21Alliterative sportspeople.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Richard.- Yeah, on each board we're going to show you the names of six

0:21:24 > 0:21:27sports people whose first and surnames begin with the same letter.

0:21:27 > 0:21:31You just need to tell us the name of the sport with which they're most closely associated, please.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34Six on the first board, six on the second,

0:21:34 > 0:21:37- 12 in all to have a go at at home. Good luck.- Thanks very much indeed.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39So, we're looking for the sports that are played by these

0:21:39 > 0:21:43alliterative sportspeople. And here is our first board. We have...

0:21:59 > 0:22:02Rachel, this is a dream come true, isn't it?

0:22:02 > 0:22:04I only actually know one of...

0:22:04 > 0:22:06One-and-a-half.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11I'm going to say Ray Reardon.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14- Snooker?- Snooker.

0:22:14 > 0:22:18Ray Reardon, snooker, says Rachel. Let's see if it's right, let's see

0:22:18 > 0:22:21how many of our 100 people said snooker.

0:22:23 > 0:22:24It's right.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28So, a very high...

0:22:28 > 0:22:3084. Listen, that's a lot better than 100.

0:22:30 > 0:22:34- 84.- Yeah, former policeman and miner, Ray Reardon.

0:22:34 > 0:22:37They called him Dracula. Because he slept in a coffin and drank blood.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42- On account of what, his...?- His hair looked like...- His widow's peak.

0:22:42 > 0:22:46- His widow's peak, yeah.- Thank you very much indeed, Richard. - That's a pleasure.- Now, Dave.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48Right, erm...

0:22:49 > 0:22:51There's two that I know.

0:22:51 > 0:22:55There's one which I have a real long shot at.

0:22:55 > 0:23:00But I'm so scared that it's going to be 100 rather than pointless.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03And with an 84 on the board, I'm going to play it safe, I think,

0:23:03 > 0:23:06and say Mickey Mantle, baseball.

0:23:06 > 0:23:10- Mickey Mantle, baseball, says Dave. - I might be wrong there, I...

0:23:10 > 0:23:12Let's see if Mickey Mantle's right for baseball.

0:23:16 > 0:23:17It is right.

0:23:19 > 0:23:20It is right.

0:23:22 > 0:23:27There we are, 22 for Mickey Mantle. A high of 84 and a low of 22.

0:23:28 > 0:23:32Well played, Dave. Yeah, his entire career spent at the New York Yankees.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35I'll ask you what your risk was at the end of the pass as well.

0:23:35 > 0:23:37Thanks very much, Richard. Carol, this board's all yours -

0:23:37 > 0:23:41if you would like to go through them all and fill in all the sports,

0:23:41 > 0:23:43you'd be most welcome.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46Yeah, no, I'll... I'll give that a miss.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48Erm, I only know one, and I think I know it.

0:23:48 > 0:23:53If it's... It might be wrong, but I think Didier Drogba is in football.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56- A footballer.- Didier Drogba, football, says Carol.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58Let's see how many of our 100 people said football.

0:24:00 > 0:24:04It's right. Ooh, and it passes 84, down to 69!

0:24:04 > 0:24:08For Didier Drogba being a footballer.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11Very well played. If this round proves anything,

0:24:11 > 0:24:13it's how famous Ray Reardon is, I think.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16- Yes.- Erm, Dave, what was the risk you were going to go for?

0:24:16 > 0:24:20It was Desmond Douglas... At the back of my head I have table tennis.

0:24:20 > 0:24:24You're absolutely right. Although it actually scores 19 points,

0:24:24 > 0:24:27so it was pretty much the same as Mickey Mantle.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30There he is. Gordon Greenidge is, er...

0:24:30 > 0:24:34- Cricket.- ..West Indian cricketer, yeah. Would have scored you 26.

0:24:34 > 0:24:35And the best answer on the board,

0:24:35 > 0:24:38he's the subject of a song in the South Park movie,

0:24:38 > 0:24:41What Would Brian Boitano Do? And he was a figure skater.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43Brian Boitano.

0:24:43 > 0:24:466 points for that, so very well played if you said that.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48There we are. Well...

0:24:48 > 0:24:50All sorts of different pressures on people for this next pass.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53Let's take a look at the scores. 22 the best score of that pass.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55Very well done indeed, Dave and John.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57Then we travel up to 69, Carol and Charlotte,

0:24:57 > 0:25:01and then not that much further ahead are Rachel and Stanley on 84.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04So, Stanley, yes, a little bit of pressure on you to find a nice low score in the next pass.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07Good luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now.

0:25:07 > 0:25:09Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:25:12 > 0:25:15OK, let's put six more alliterative sportspeople up on the board -

0:25:15 > 0:25:18and here they are. We have got...

0:25:25 > 0:25:28I'll read those all one last time.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36There we are. Now, Charlotte,

0:25:36 > 0:25:39ideally, you'd score 14 or less.

0:25:39 > 0:25:43I want to go for one which doesn't look familiar.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46Ideally. But then it has to be right.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48I'm going to go for Bonnie Blair.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51- Yes.- What's...? How do you pronounce his name?

0:25:51 > 0:25:55- Is it Bonnie Blair?- I think...- Can I just know if that's a girl or a boy?

0:25:55 > 0:26:00It doesn't matter, just which sport do you think Bonnie Blair is attached to? Is associated with?

0:26:00 > 0:26:03That's a girl, isn't it?

0:26:03 > 0:26:05What difference does it make?

0:26:05 > 0:26:07Bonnie Blair played...

0:26:11 > 0:26:13- Ice hockey.- Ice hockey.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15Bonnie Blair. Bonnie Blair.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17Let's find out. This would just be brilliant if this were right.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20Let's see. There is your red line. Bonnie Blair, ice hockey,

0:26:20 > 0:26:22is that right? How many people said it if it is?

0:26:26 > 0:26:28- Oh, no!- Damn!

0:26:28 > 0:26:31Bonnie Blair... Oh, I was believing Bonnie Blair is an ice hockey player

0:26:31 > 0:26:34there! 169 is your total, that scores you 100 points.

0:26:34 > 0:26:38Yeah, sorry, Charlotte - it's the most Geordie of all the names up there, Bonnie Blair, I think.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41But I will give all the correct answers at the end of the pass. OK.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43Thanks very much, Richard.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46Well! That not just takes the pressure off, that guarantees you,

0:26:46 > 0:26:48that's a bye through to the head-to-head, John.

0:26:48 > 0:26:52- Is it?- So, even if you scored 100 you'd still go through.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55Well, I think I know Vincent, but...

0:26:55 > 0:26:59I'd rather go for Beryl Burton, cos I like saying the name.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01Beryl Burton.

0:27:01 > 0:27:02Er, cyclist.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05Beryl Burton, cyclist, says John. No red line for you, you're already

0:27:05 > 0:27:08through. Let's see how many of our 100 people said cyclist.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15- It's right.- Well done. - Thank you. Come on!

0:27:18 > 0:27:2023. Very good indeed.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22Nice grouping between the scores there as well!

0:27:22 > 0:27:2545 is your total, the lowest total of the round, I might add.

0:27:25 > 0:27:30Very well played, John. Yes, still holds the women's 12-hour world record,

0:27:30 > 0:27:32Beryl Burton, set 50 years ago.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35And when she set it, it was faster than the men's 12-hour record as well.

0:27:35 > 0:27:38When she set it, she passed the UK men's champion on the road and

0:27:38 > 0:27:42offered him a Liquorice Allsort to give him a bit of energy.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:27:44 > 0:27:47Now, Stanley. That has helped you out.

0:27:47 > 0:27:50Your score at the moment is 84, and actually your target is also 84.

0:27:50 > 0:27:54If you can score 84 or less, you are through to the head-to-head.

0:27:54 > 0:27:57So, a little bit of pressure off there, thanks to Charlotte.

0:27:57 > 0:28:01Bjorn Borg is a pretty obvious one.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03I'm going to go for Alberto Ascari,

0:28:03 > 0:28:04because I remember,

0:28:04 > 0:28:06I remember the song.

0:28:06 > 0:28:09Alberto Ascari, he drives a Ferrari.

0:28:09 > 0:28:14So, I'm going to go for Alberto Ascari in motor racing.

0:28:14 > 0:28:17He might have just driven one in his spare time, of course.

0:28:17 > 0:28:20But, erm, let's find out.

0:28:20 > 0:28:24Here is your red line - if you get below that with motor racing, you are through to the head-to-head.

0:28:24 > 0:28:26Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:28:29 > 0:28:30It's right.

0:28:30 > 0:28:33And you're through to the head-to-head. Very well done indeed.

0:28:33 > 0:28:35Alberto Ascari...

0:28:35 > 0:28:40takes you down to 9. Very good indeed! 93 is your total.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44That's brilliant work, Stanley.

0:28:44 > 0:28:47Well played. Yeah, one of the early heroes of Formula 1, Alberto Ascari.

0:28:47 > 0:28:50John, if you'd had to go for Vincent van der Voort,

0:28:50 > 0:28:53- what would you have said? - Er, he does that, doesn't he?

0:28:53 > 0:28:55Bit of that, darts?

0:28:55 > 0:28:58Is exactly right. Yeah, would have scored you 15 points as well,

0:28:58 > 0:29:00would have been terrific. Now, Bonnie Blair...

0:29:00 > 0:29:03She's not an ice hockey player, but she's a speed skater.

0:29:03 > 0:29:07- I've been robbed!- So close! - I've been robbed!

0:29:07 > 0:29:11- So close!- 2 points if you had said speed skating.

0:29:11 > 0:29:14Ernie Els is a golfer.

0:29:14 > 0:29:1758 points for that. Stanley, were you tempted to go for Bjorn Borg?

0:29:17 > 0:29:19I was. I was, yes.

0:29:19 > 0:29:22Lucky you didn't, it would have scored you...

0:29:22 > 0:29:2397 points.

0:29:23 > 0:29:25- Oh!- Oh!

0:29:25 > 0:29:2697 points, how about that?

0:29:26 > 0:29:29There we are, thank you very much indeed.

0:29:29 > 0:29:32So, at the end of our second round, the pair we have to say goodbye to,

0:29:32 > 0:29:33I'm so sorry!

0:29:33 > 0:29:36Carol, lovely to have you here for twice as long as normal.

0:29:36 > 0:29:39- Yeah, I know! A privilege!- But I'm afraid this is where we have to say goodbye. Charlotte,

0:29:39 > 0:29:43it's great to have you here for the first time. Please both come back and play again.

0:29:43 > 0:29:46- It's been wonderful to have you here. Charlotte and Carol. - Thank you.- Bye.

0:29:49 > 0:29:51But for John and Dave, Stanley and Rachel,

0:29:51 > 0:29:53it's now time for our head-to-head.

0:29:56 > 0:29:59Congratulations, John and Dave, Stanley and Rachel.

0:29:59 > 0:30:02You're now one step closer to the final, and the chance to play for

0:30:02 > 0:30:05our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,750.

0:30:08 > 0:30:10So, at this point,

0:30:10 > 0:30:12we have to decide who's going to go through to the final and play for

0:30:12 > 0:30:15that jackpot. And we do it by making you go head-to-head,

0:30:15 > 0:30:17but the big difference is, you're now allowed to confer,

0:30:17 > 0:30:19so you can start playing as a team.

0:30:19 > 0:30:20You can chat before you give your answers -

0:30:20 > 0:30:23first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot for

0:30:23 > 0:30:27their charities. Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head!

0:30:32 > 0:30:35Here is your first question, and it concerns...

0:30:39 > 0:30:42Yeah, we're going to play you extracts now from five songs which

0:30:42 > 0:30:44contain lyrics about falling in love.

0:30:44 > 0:30:47All you have to do is tell us the act or the artist you are

0:30:47 > 0:30:49listening to, please. Very best of luck.

0:30:49 > 0:30:52OK, let's hear our five excerpts, and here they come.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54We have got A...

0:30:57 > 0:30:59# And your girlfriend agreed

0:30:59 > 0:31:04# That falling in love is so hard on your knees

0:31:07 > 0:31:11# Chip off the old block, man, You're so much like your sister... #

0:31:13 > 0:31:15Here's B...

0:31:15 > 0:31:17# Ever fallen in love with someone

0:31:17 > 0:31:19# Ever fallen in love In love with someone

0:31:19 > 0:31:22# Ever fallen in love In love with someone

0:31:22 > 0:31:24# You shouldn't have fallen in love with

0:31:26 > 0:31:27# Ever fallen in love with someone

0:31:27 > 0:31:29# Ever fallen in love

0:31:29 > 0:31:30# In love with someone

0:31:30 > 0:31:32# Ever fallen in love

0:31:32 > 0:31:33# In love with someone

0:31:33 > 0:31:35# You shouldn't have fallen in love with... #

0:31:37 > 0:31:38Here's C...

0:31:40 > 0:31:45# When I fall in love

0:31:45 > 0:31:51# It will be forever

0:31:51 > 0:31:58# Or I'll never fall in love... #

0:32:02 > 0:32:04Here is D...

0:32:05 > 0:32:11# Wise men say

0:32:11 > 0:32:17# Only fools rush in

0:32:19 > 0:32:24# But I can't help

0:32:24 > 0:32:31# Falling in love with you... #

0:32:33 > 0:32:34And here is E...

0:32:36 > 0:32:44# Fall in love

0:32:44 > 0:32:52# No, I'm never gonna fall in love... #

0:32:53 > 0:32:57OK. Now, John and Dave, which of those would you like to go for?

0:32:57 > 0:32:59Er, B - Buzzcocks.

0:32:59 > 0:33:02Buzzcocks. Buzzcocks, say John and Dave.

0:33:02 > 0:33:06For B. Now, then, Stanley and Rachel.

0:33:06 > 0:33:08I think C was Bing Crosby?

0:33:08 > 0:33:10C - Bing Crosby.

0:33:10 > 0:33:14So, we have Buzzcocks, and we have Bing Crosby for C.

0:33:14 > 0:33:16Now, then, John and Dave said Buzzcocks for B.

0:33:16 > 0:33:20Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Buzzcocks.

0:33:24 > 0:33:25It's right.

0:33:29 > 0:33:34- 20.- That's all right.

0:33:34 > 0:33:3520 for Buzzcocks.

0:33:35 > 0:33:39Now, Stanley and Rachel have said Bing Crosby for C.

0:33:39 > 0:33:40Let's see if that's right.

0:33:40 > 0:33:43Let's see how many of our 100 people said Bing Crosby.

0:33:46 > 0:33:49- Ooh, bad luck.- Oh, no!

0:33:49 > 0:33:51Bad luck. Not Bing Crosby.

0:33:51 > 0:33:53But, John and Dave, very well done.

0:33:53 > 0:33:55After one question, you're up 1-0.

0:33:55 > 0:33:57Yeah, not Bing Cosby. A...

0:33:57 > 0:33:58Let's have a little listen.

0:33:58 > 0:34:00MUSIC PLAYS

0:34:00 > 0:34:03..Was Falling In Love Is Hard On The Knees by Aerosmith.

0:34:05 > 0:34:07A for Aerosmith. That would have scored you nine points.

0:34:08 > 0:34:11C was not Bing Crosby, but it was...

0:34:11 > 0:34:13MUSIC PLAYS

0:34:13 > 0:34:16..Nat King Cole. There's a C for you.

0:34:16 > 0:34:18And that would have scored you 41.

0:34:22 > 0:34:23- D...- D was Elvis.

0:34:23 > 0:34:25..was Elvis, of course it was.

0:34:25 > 0:34:27Yep. And Elvis would have scored you 71 points.

0:34:27 > 0:34:29MUSIC PLAYS

0:34:30 > 0:34:32Now, E is an interesting one.

0:34:32 > 0:34:33Let's have a little listen to E.

0:34:33 > 0:34:35MUSIC PLAYS

0:34:35 > 0:34:40Now, this was written by Lonnie Donegan, this song, and it was sung by...

0:34:40 > 0:34:41- Tom Jones.- Tom Jones, yeah.

0:34:41 > 0:34:43And it was the best answer on the

0:34:43 > 0:34:45board, would have scored eight points.

0:34:45 > 0:34:47There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:34:47 > 0:34:49So here comes your second question.

0:34:49 > 0:34:51Stanley and Rachel, you get to answer this one first.

0:34:51 > 0:34:53But you have to win this one to stay in the game.

0:34:53 > 0:34:57So, very best of luck. Our second question today is all about...

0:35:03 > 0:35:06Yeah, five pictures now of skyscrapers that were completed in

0:35:06 > 0:35:09the 21st century. We need the name of the city where you would find these skyscrapers.

0:35:09 > 0:35:12- We have given you the initials of the cities as well. Good luck.- OK.

0:35:12 > 0:35:15Let's reveal our five skyscrapers, and here they come.

0:35:16 > 0:35:18We have got...

0:35:42 > 0:35:45There we are. Five 21st-century skyscrapers.

0:35:45 > 0:35:47Stanley and Rachel, you will go first.

0:35:49 > 0:35:51THEY WHISPER

0:35:51 > 0:35:53It's a city, do you see?

0:35:56 > 0:35:58OK. E.

0:35:58 > 0:36:01Had some problems, but I think we're going to go for Dubai.

0:36:02 > 0:36:05- Which is...?- Number E.

0:36:05 > 0:36:07OK, E, Dubai. E, Dubai,

0:36:07 > 0:36:09say Stanley and Rachel. Now, John and Dave.

0:36:09 > 0:36:11I think we should go for Madrid.

0:36:11 > 0:36:14We'll take a guess. We don't think we can win with A or B,

0:36:14 > 0:36:16so will guess at C and Madrid.

0:36:16 > 0:36:17C, Madrid.

0:36:17 > 0:36:19So we have Dubai and Madrid.

0:36:19 > 0:36:22Stanley and Rachel have gone for Dubai for E.

0:36:22 > 0:36:24Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.

0:36:27 > 0:36:28It is Dubai.

0:36:32 > 0:36:3450 for Dubai.

0:36:36 > 0:36:40Now, John and Dave have said Madrid for C. Let's see if that's right.

0:36:40 > 0:36:43Let's see how many of our 100 people said Madrid.

0:36:47 > 0:36:48No.

0:36:49 > 0:36:51Not Madrid. Very well done, Stanley and Rachel.

0:36:51 > 0:36:55That's exactly what you needed to do. You're back in the game. It's 1-1 after two questions.

0:36:55 > 0:36:57Yeah, well played. Had to take the risk though, gents,

0:36:57 > 0:37:01but lots of cities that fit that description. The M and then the blanks there.

0:37:01 > 0:37:03Let's take a look through all the answers first.

0:37:03 > 0:37:05L, of course, stands for London.

0:37:05 > 0:37:07What do you think that scored?

0:37:07 > 0:37:09Um... Really?

0:37:09 > 0:37:11Yeah. 73.

0:37:11 > 0:37:14Amazing, isn't it?

0:37:14 > 0:37:16That's The Shard. Now B is, of course, New York.

0:37:16 > 0:37:19That's a bigger score because of the letters there.

0:37:19 > 0:37:20That would have scored...

0:37:21 > 0:37:24Now let's clear up this third one.

0:37:24 > 0:37:27The Shard was the tallest building in Europe until this, which is the

0:37:27 > 0:37:31Mercury City Tower, and it's not in Madrid, it's not in Munich,

0:37:31 > 0:37:33- it's not in Mordor...- It's not in Mumbai?

0:37:33 > 0:37:36It's not in Manila, it's not in Mumbai.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38- Moscow.- It's in Moscow.

0:37:39 > 0:37:41And would have scored two points.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43So, gents, you went for Madrid.

0:37:43 > 0:37:46Actually, you would be in the final now if, for D, you had gone

0:37:46 > 0:37:50just up the road and said Barcelona.

0:37:50 > 0:37:52Would have scored you 15 points.

0:37:52 > 0:37:54Goodness me. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:37:54 > 0:37:56Here comes your third question. This is the decider.

0:37:56 > 0:37:59Whoever wins this goes through to the final.

0:37:59 > 0:38:01Best of luck to both pairs.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03Our third question is all about...

0:38:03 > 0:38:05LAUGHTER

0:38:06 > 0:38:09We are going to show you five clues now to facts about Freddie Mercury.

0:38:09 > 0:38:12Whichever team gives us the most obscure answer is going through to

0:38:12 > 0:38:15play for that jackpot, so very best of luck, both teams.

0:38:15 > 0:38:17Thank you very much. Let's reveal our five clues.

0:38:17 > 0:38:19We have got...

0:38:35 > 0:38:37I shall read those again.

0:38:52 > 0:38:55There we are, John and Dave, to you first.

0:38:57 > 0:39:01I think... Found overlooking this lake, it's got to be that...

0:39:01 > 0:39:05Well, I believe they call it Lake Lemon,

0:39:05 > 0:39:07over there. But it's Lake Geneva.

0:39:07 > 0:39:09OK, you are going to say Lake Geneva.

0:39:09 > 0:39:11- Go for that?- I've no idea.

0:39:11 > 0:39:13Yes, Lake Geneva say John and Dave.

0:39:13 > 0:39:17Now, Stanley and Rachel, the board is all yours.

0:39:17 > 0:39:20Thinking out loud, I do spend a lot of time

0:39:20 > 0:39:21in East Africa.

0:39:23 > 0:39:26I do indeed remember when Tasmania was Tasmania,

0:39:26 > 0:39:28and Zanzibar was Zanzibar.

0:39:28 > 0:39:30But then they joined.

0:39:30 > 0:39:33Tasmania, not Tanzania, you mean Tanzania?

0:39:33 > 0:39:36Yeah, I always get it muddled. Yeah, sometimes I went off to Tanzania...

0:39:36 > 0:39:38Are you confident with this answer?

0:39:38 > 0:39:42My answer is that the island is called Zanzibar.

0:39:42 > 0:39:45Zanzibar, so we have Lake Geneva and we have Zanzibar.

0:39:45 > 0:39:47John and Dave have gone for Lake Geneva.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.

0:39:53 > 0:39:55- It's right.- Come on, come on.

0:39:58 > 0:40:00- 26. - Not bad, not bad.

0:40:01 > 0:40:0326 for Lake Geneva.

0:40:05 > 0:40:07Stanley and Rachel, meanwhile, have gone for Zanzibar.

0:40:07 > 0:40:10Let's see if that's right and let's see how many of our 100 people said

0:40:10 > 0:40:11Zanzibar.

0:40:14 > 0:40:15It is Zanzibar.

0:40:19 > 0:40:22Oh, 34 for Zanzibar.

0:40:22 > 0:40:24Which means, very well done indeed, John and Dave.

0:40:24 > 0:40:27After three questions, you are through to the final - 2-1.

0:40:28 > 0:40:30Yeah, Zanzibar is the biggest answer on the board,

0:40:30 > 0:40:32funnily enough. Let's fill all of them in.

0:40:32 > 0:40:35The decade he was born, what would you guess that?

0:40:35 > 0:40:36'50s...? '40s.

0:40:36 > 0:40:38- No. Really?- Yeah, 1946 he was born in.

0:40:38 > 0:40:40Yeah.

0:40:40 > 0:40:4128 points for that.

0:40:41 > 0:40:44The title of his first solo album, this is the best answer on the board.

0:40:44 > 0:40:48He dedicated it to his cats, and it was called Mr Bad Guy.

0:40:49 > 0:40:50That would have scored six points.

0:40:50 > 0:40:52And the opera singer...?

0:40:52 > 0:40:54Erm... Montserrat...?

0:40:54 > 0:40:56Montserrat Caballe.

0:40:56 > 0:40:59And that would have scored you 20 points.

0:40:59 > 0:41:01- Very well done if you said that. - Thank you very much indeed.

0:41:01 > 0:41:06So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid, it's Stanley and Rachel.

0:41:06 > 0:41:09A fantastic performance, and very hard-fought head-to-head there,

0:41:09 > 0:41:11but please come and play again.

0:41:11 > 0:41:13It's been great having you here.

0:41:13 > 0:41:15Thank you so much. Stanley and Rachel.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17APPLAUSE

0:41:17 > 0:41:19But for John and Dave, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:41:25 > 0:41:27Congratulations, John and Dave,

0:41:27 > 0:41:30you have fought off all the competition and you have won our

0:41:30 > 0:41:31coveted Pointless trophy.

0:41:38 > 0:41:40You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,

0:41:40 > 0:41:44and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...

0:41:44 > 0:41:46CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:41:47 > 0:41:50Well, what can I say?

0:41:50 > 0:41:54Well done. As always, you get to choose your category for this round,

0:41:54 > 0:41:57from four that we will put up on the board behind me.

0:41:57 > 0:41:59Let's have a look at today's selection and see what's up there.

0:41:59 > 0:42:01We have got...

0:42:08 > 0:42:11- I think D's in geography.- It's going to be D's in geography?

0:42:11 > 0:42:13- Yeah.- OK. All right. - OK, D's in geography it is.

0:42:13 > 0:42:15Yeah, very best of luck. A good chance here,

0:42:15 > 0:42:18and I think lots of people at home will have a good chance on this as

0:42:18 > 0:42:21well. We are looking for any of the following that contain a letter D,

0:42:21 > 0:42:22anywhere in their names.

0:42:22 > 0:42:25Does not have to begin with D, just D anywhere in the name.

0:42:25 > 0:42:27We are looking for any country of the world,

0:42:27 > 0:42:30as always, a country means a sovereign state that is a member of the UN in

0:42:30 > 0:42:33its own right. The English names of the capital cities of any of those

0:42:33 > 0:42:34countries of the world, please,

0:42:34 > 0:42:36that contain a letter D.

0:42:36 > 0:42:40Any of the official UK cities that contain a D, anywhere in the name.

0:42:40 > 0:42:43So, countries of the world, capital cities of the world, or UK cities.

0:42:43 > 0:42:46Any of which have a D anywhere in their name.

0:42:46 > 0:42:49- Very best of luck.- Thank you very much indeed.

0:42:49 > 0:42:51As always, you have up to one minute to come up with three answers,

0:42:51 > 0:42:54and all you need to win that jackpot for your charities is for just one

0:42:54 > 0:42:56of those answers to be pointless.

0:42:56 > 0:42:59- Are you ready? - As we'll ever be, Xander!

0:42:59 > 0:43:02- Yes.- Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.

0:43:02 > 0:43:03There they are.

0:43:03 > 0:43:05Your time starts now.

0:43:05 > 0:43:07- Well, uh...- Can we do it...

0:43:07 > 0:43:09- Do we whisper, or do we...? - You can do it like that.

0:43:09 > 0:43:11Chad. Chad, is of course a very good one.

0:43:11 > 0:43:15That's quite well-known. UK cities, what's that one that has just become a city?

0:43:15 > 0:43:16Lichfield ends in a D.

0:43:16 > 0:43:17- Lichfield is a town.- Is it?

0:43:17 > 0:43:19- It's got a cathedral.- Oh.

0:43:19 > 0:43:23- So I think it might be... - Saint David's is a city.

0:43:23 > 0:43:25- Is it?- Yes.- Yes?- Yeah, yeah.

0:43:25 > 0:43:28No, it's in Wales. It's the smallest city in Britain.

0:43:28 > 0:43:31- Oh, all right.- Saint David's. - Unless, of the 100 people,

0:43:31 > 0:43:33about 12 of them are Welsh, in which case...

0:43:33 > 0:43:35Well, Saint David's.

0:43:35 > 0:43:38Lichfield. We can go for any of the categories.

0:43:38 > 0:43:39- And Chad.- Shall we do that?- Yes.

0:43:39 > 0:43:41- OK.- Are you happy with those?

0:43:41 > 0:43:44- That's lasted a minute. - What's Djibouti?

0:43:44 > 0:43:45D-J...

0:43:45 > 0:43:47Uh, is that a country?

0:43:47 > 0:43:49I don't know. A city or a country, I can't remember what it is.

0:43:49 > 0:43:51- It's not a country.- OK, well...

0:43:51 > 0:43:54- Go on.- No, no, I don't know which it is.- Ten seconds...

0:43:54 > 0:43:56- Say it again.- Djibouti.

0:43:56 > 0:43:58Djibouti, that's not a country, it's a city.

0:43:58 > 0:44:00I don't know. I genuinely don't know.

0:44:00 > 0:44:03It's just a thing. Let's stick with what we said.

0:44:03 > 0:44:04All right.

0:44:04 > 0:44:06OK, that's your time up, I now need your three answers.

0:44:06 > 0:44:10What are you going to go for? And if you say which category in each case.

0:44:10 > 0:44:12- We would like two from the UK cities.- Yup.

0:44:12 > 0:44:14- Lichfield.- Lichfield.

0:44:14 > 0:44:16Which I don't believe is a city, but.

0:44:16 > 0:44:17It does have a cathedral.

0:44:17 > 0:44:20Well, it must be, then. And Saint David's.

0:44:20 > 0:44:22- And Saint David's.- That's in the UK, yes, Wales.

0:44:22 > 0:44:23OK.

0:44:23 > 0:44:26And what's your third answer going to be?

0:44:26 > 0:44:27A country, Chad.

0:44:27 > 0:44:31Chad. Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:44:31 > 0:44:35- Shall we put Chad first?- Chad first.

0:44:35 > 0:44:37Then Lichfield, then Saint David's.

0:44:37 > 0:44:39I think Saint David's is very good.

0:44:39 > 0:44:40- Brilliant.- Great.

0:44:40 > 0:44:43OK, we will put those up on the board in that order, then. And here they are.

0:44:43 > 0:44:44We have got...

0:44:46 > 0:44:49Well, very, very best of luck. Three great answers on the board there.

0:44:49 > 0:44:52Let's hope at least one of those is pointless.

0:44:52 > 0:44:53And if one of those is pointless,

0:44:53 > 0:44:56it will win that jackpot for you to share between your nominated

0:44:56 > 0:44:58charities. What are your charities, John?

0:44:58 > 0:45:01Mine is the MS Trust.

0:45:01 > 0:45:03- Dave, how about you? - Mine is Shelter.

0:45:03 > 0:45:05- The homeless charity.- There we are.

0:45:05 > 0:45:07APPLAUSE

0:45:07 > 0:45:09Two fantastic charities there.

0:45:09 > 0:45:12Let's hope at least one of these answers wins that jackpot, for you

0:45:12 > 0:45:14split between them. So your first answer was Chad.

0:45:14 > 0:45:17In this case we were looking for any country that contains the letter D.

0:45:17 > 0:45:20Only one of these answers has to be pointless, for you to win the jackpot,

0:45:20 > 0:45:22let's see if Chad is the one.

0:45:22 > 0:45:25If it is pointless, it wins you £2,750.

0:45:25 > 0:45:27Let's see how many of our 100 people said it, Chad.

0:45:29 > 0:45:32Well, it's right.

0:45:32 > 0:45:36Now all it has to do is take us down to zero and it will win you that

0:45:36 > 0:45:38jackpot. Down it goes, Chad.

0:45:38 > 0:45:41Through the teens, into single figures, still going down..

0:45:41 > 0:45:43..to two.

0:45:47 > 0:45:49Not bad.

0:45:49 > 0:45:51No, it's a fantastic answer. Sadly, in this round,

0:45:51 > 0:45:53we're only interested in pointless answers.

0:45:55 > 0:45:57Everything is now riding on your next two answers,

0:45:57 > 0:46:00Lichfield being the first of those.

0:46:00 > 0:46:04In this case, we were looking for any city in the UK containing a D.

0:46:04 > 0:46:06Lichfield. It has to be right, then it has to be pointless.

0:46:06 > 0:46:08If it's both of those things,

0:46:08 > 0:46:11you will leave with £2,750 for your charities.

0:46:11 > 0:46:13How many people said Lichfield? Is it a city?

0:46:17 > 0:46:18It is a city!

0:46:18 > 0:46:20HE LAUGHS

0:46:20 > 0:46:23Lichfield is a city. Now, your first answer, Chad, took us down to two,

0:46:23 > 0:46:27Lichfield now takes us down through the teens, into single figures,

0:46:27 > 0:46:30down it goes, still going down, we are past two...

0:46:30 > 0:46:31Yes!

0:46:31 > 0:46:33CHEERING

0:46:35 > 0:46:36Very well done.

0:46:36 > 0:46:40- Fantastic.- Beautiful.- Well done.

0:46:40 > 0:46:42Can't believe it, can't believe it.

0:46:42 > 0:46:43Very well done.

0:46:43 > 0:46:46Congratulations, Lichfield was a pointless answer,

0:46:46 > 0:46:50which means you go home with that jackpot of £2,750 for your charities.

0:46:50 > 0:46:51Superb.

0:46:51 > 0:46:53CHEERING

0:46:55 > 0:46:57That's why you're...

0:46:57 > 0:46:59- Yes.- Beautifully done, very well played, gents.

0:46:59 > 0:47:03Plenty of places with cathedrals aren't cities, but Lichfield is a city.

0:47:03 > 0:47:06Saint David's also a city, and would have scored you five points.

0:47:06 > 0:47:08ALL GASP

0:47:08 > 0:47:12Pretty big score, Saint David's. Lots of good pointless answers here, let's go through a few of them.

0:47:12 > 0:47:15Start with countries. All of these would have won the jackpot.

0:47:15 > 0:47:16Well done at home if you said...

0:47:19 > 0:47:21You could have said all these, pointless as well -

0:47:21 > 0:47:25Antigua and Barbuda, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cabo Verde, Cote d'Ivoire,

0:47:25 > 0:47:27St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent and the Grenadines,

0:47:27 > 0:47:31Solomon Islands, and United Arab Emirates, all of those were pointless answers.

0:47:31 > 0:47:33We will move on now to the capitals.

0:47:33 > 0:47:35Baghdad, which is Iraq.

0:47:35 > 0:47:38Kathmandu, Nepal, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

0:47:38 > 0:47:40Windhoek, Namibia.

0:47:40 > 0:47:44You also could have had Ashgabat, Dili, Damascus, Islamabad, Mogadishu,

0:47:44 > 0:47:47Vaduz and Yaounde, all of those pointless answers as well.

0:47:47 > 0:47:49Well done if you said any of those. Now, only three pointless answers on

0:47:49 > 0:47:52the UK cities, which is where you found your pointless answer,

0:47:52 > 0:47:54so very impressive. Those were the other two.

0:47:54 > 0:47:58Brighton and Hove, very well done if you got that.

0:47:58 > 0:48:00And Salford, the other pointless answer.

0:48:00 > 0:48:04Well, thanks once again to our winning players, John and Dave,

0:48:04 > 0:48:07who go away with today's jackpot of £2,750 for their charities. Superb.

0:48:07 > 0:48:09CHEERING

0:48:11 > 0:48:15Join us next time, when we will be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.

0:48:15 > 0:48:17Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

0:48:17 > 0:48:20- Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
