CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:160:00:23

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

0:00:230:00:25

and a very warm welcome to Pointless Celebrities,

0:00:250:00:28

the show where obvious answers mean nothing,

0:00:280:00:30

and obscure answers mean everything.

0:00:300:00:32

Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities.

0:00:320:00:34

And couple number one?

0:00:380:00:40

Hello. I'll go first. I'm Lucy Porter, and I'm a writer

0:00:400:00:43

and comedian and I've been here before.

0:00:430:00:46

I was on Pointless before,

0:00:460:00:48

and got beaten by John McCririck and his lovely wife.

0:00:480:00:51

Er, and, so, I'm here to kind of avenge that loss today.

0:00:510:00:57

I'm Rob Deering, comedian.

0:00:570:00:59

And, yeah, I'm like a poor man's John McCririck.

0:00:590:01:02

No, you're not!

0:01:020:01:04

-Couple number two!

-Well, I'm Stanley Johnson,

0:01:090:01:11

I'm an environmentalist, I'm a writer.

0:01:110:01:13

I've been on this show before, only got through to the second round.

0:01:130:01:16

But we're hoping to do better this time.

0:01:160:01:18

And I want to say, I'm the father of all the Johnsons, including...

0:01:180:01:21

Rachel!

0:01:210:01:24

I'm daughter of Stanley, my name's Rachel Johnson, and I'm a

0:01:240:01:30

columnist, a journalist, novelist, presenter, whatever.

0:01:300:01:35

-And a brilliant daughter.

-Aw!

0:01:350:01:37

Couple number three.

0:01:420:01:43

I'm John Shuttleworth, versatile singer-organist,

0:01:430:01:46

from Sheffield, South Yorkshire!

0:01:460:01:49

And I'm Dave Gorman, a non-versatile comedian from Staffordshire.

0:01:490:01:54

And, finally, couple number four!

0:01:590:02:01

Hi, I'm Charlotte Crosby,

0:02:010:02:03

and I am from a popular MTV show called Geordie Shore.

0:02:030:02:07

I'm Carol McGiffin, and I'm a writer and sometimes I'm on telly!

0:02:070:02:12

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

0:02:140:02:17

We'll get to chat to you each throughout the show as it goes along.

0:02:170:02:20

So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce, on a

0:02:200:02:23

long-distance phone call with the factual future - reverse charges,

0:02:230:02:26

I might add - it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard!

0:02:260:02:29

Hiya. Hi, everybody!

0:02:290:02:32

Good evening. Good evening to you.

0:02:320:02:34

-Good evening.

-This is going to be a hard-fought show, I think.

0:02:340:02:37

Podium one - Lucy has been on before, she's got through to the

0:02:370:02:40

head-to-head, and now she's on with Rob, who is not only a very funny

0:02:400:02:43

comic, but a very, very good quizzer as well. So they're going to be tough to beat.

0:02:430:02:46

Podium two - Stanley and Rachel, also been here before.

0:02:460:02:49

And they've got that father-daughter thing,

0:02:490:02:51

the power of that family unit I think will be hard to beat.

0:02:510:02:53

Podium three - Dave, again, super bright.

0:02:530:02:56

John - literally no idea what's going to happen with him.

0:02:560:02:58

But we shall see. It could go either way, right?

0:02:580:03:01

And podium four - Carol has been on twice before...

0:03:010:03:03

-Mm-hmm.

-..and has been knocked out in the first round both times.

0:03:030:03:06

-Both times.

-So, Charlotte, a lot, a lot of pressure on your shoulders.

0:03:060:03:10

-I think I can do it.

-I think you can, too.

0:03:100:03:12

Round One, looking at the quality on display, in Round One I could almost

0:03:120:03:16

guarantee there will be a pointless answer.

0:03:160:03:19

-Almost guarantee.

-Listen to that buzz!

0:03:190:03:23

There you go. OK. Now, as usual, all of today's questions have been put

0:03:230:03:26

to 100 people before the show. Our contestants here are looking for

0:03:260:03:29

those all-important pointless answers, these being answers

0:03:290:03:32

that none of our 100 people gave.

0:03:320:03:33

Find one of those and we will add £250 to the jackpot.

0:03:330:03:36

Now, as today's show is a celebrity special,

0:03:360:03:39

each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity.

0:03:390:03:41

We start off with a jackpot of £2,500. There we are.

0:03:410:03:46

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

0:03:480:03:51

So, remember this - the pair with the highest score at the end of each

0:03:560:03:59

round will be eliminated,

0:03:590:04:01

the pair with the highest score - so keep your scores low.

0:04:010:04:04

And no conferring until we get to the head-to-head round.

0:04:040:04:06

Best of luck with all that. Our first category today is...

0:04:060:04:10

It's a words round.

0:04:100:04:12

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

0:04:120:04:16

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

0:04:160:04:19

OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes. We gave 100

0:04:230:04:26

people 100 seconds to name as many words ending

0:04:260:04:30

in "gle" as they could.

0:04:300:04:33

-Words ending "gle", Richard.

-Yep, we're looking for any word which has

0:04:330:04:37

its own entry in the British and world English section

0:04:370:04:40

of OxfordDictionaries.com, please, that ends "gle". As always,

0:04:400:04:43

no proper nouns, no hyphenated words, anything like that.

0:04:430:04:46

Just any word that ends "gle".

0:04:460:04:47

There are loads of pointless answers in here - loads.

0:04:470:04:50

-I'll have a little think about yours.

-Yes. Thank you.

0:04:500:04:53

Lucy, tell me about this parent and child comedy club you've got going.

0:04:530:04:57

Yes, Screaming With Laughter it's called.

0:04:570:05:00

-Screaming...!

-There's a lot of screaming and a lot of laughter.

0:05:000:05:03

It's for parents and carers with babies under one,

0:05:030:05:05

and they come along and have a night out, but in the afternoon.

0:05:050:05:09

And so I get all my comedian mates to come along and do it.

0:05:090:05:12

And it's nice for comedians, because normally, when members of the

0:05:120:05:15

audience throw up or wet themselves, it's a bad thing

0:05:150:05:19

whereas it's a lot cuter when it happens in this context.

0:05:190:05:24

Fantastic. Now, Lucy - words ending "gle".

0:05:240:05:27

OK. I'm going to go death or glory here,

0:05:270:05:29

because I'm not even sure this is a real word.

0:05:290:05:32

I'm going to go for finagle.

0:05:320:05:34

Finagle. Let's find out. Fina... It's a great word.

0:05:340:05:38

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

0:05:380:05:40

It is a word.

0:05:420:05:44

3!

0:05:520:05:53

3 for finagle - that's a fantastic start to the round!

0:05:550:05:58

That's a very good start, very well played.

0:05:580:06:00

"To get by dishonest or devious means."

0:06:000:06:02

-To finagle.

-There you go. OK, now, Rachel, welcome back to Pointless.

0:06:020:06:07

-Thank you, Xander.

-Very good to have you here again.

0:06:070:06:10

Now, I want to ask you about your trilogy of Hell novels.

0:06:100:06:12

Oh, good. I want to talk about it!

0:06:120:06:14

Yeah! Well, we had Notting Hell, we had Shire Hell,

0:06:140:06:17

-and then we had Fresh Hell.

-Well done.

-Is that it on the hell front?

0:06:170:06:20

That's it for now. I think that the public has suffered enough,

0:06:200:06:23

and I'm not writing another hell tome for the moment.

0:06:230:06:26

Has anyone approached you for rights for TV or film?

0:06:260:06:29

Somebody please approach me for rights!

0:06:290:06:32

Tell me. Surely somebody has approached you.

0:06:320:06:34

-Well, I want this to happen!

-Don't you think?

-Definitely.

0:06:340:06:36

Sunday evenings would be made by that.

0:06:360:06:39

Sunday evenings. The new Downton. Let's make it happen.

0:06:390:06:41

Yeah, well, we could do that, we could make that.

0:06:410:06:44

-Oh, yeah, definitely. Yeah, yeah.

-Perfect.

0:06:440:06:46

I don't know how you would play some sort of suburbanite west Londoner. That would be a stretch.

0:06:460:06:50

-Shire Hell, I'd be fine.

-Oh, yeah, you could do that as well.

0:06:500:06:53

-Slide right into that.

-Yeah.

-OK, now, Rachel.

0:06:530:06:55

Finagle scoring 3. I think we can go even lower than that.

0:06:550:06:59

I don't know if we can. I don't think I've done very well, though.

0:06:590:07:02

-Inveigle.

-Inveigle.

0:07:020:07:04

Inveigle. OK, let's see if that's right, let's see...

0:07:040:07:07

We know it's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said inveigle.

0:07:070:07:11

Very good.

0:07:160:07:19

Well, 3 is all we've got so far...

0:07:190:07:21

And you've gone pointless with inveigle! Very well done indeed!

0:07:210:07:25

That adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £2,750.

0:07:250:07:31

And it scores you absolutely nothing.

0:07:310:07:34

Very well done indeed. An early lead there from the Johnsons.

0:07:340:07:37

That's a very good answer. Two great answers so far.

0:07:370:07:40

Very similar words as well - that just means to persuade someone to do

0:07:400:07:42

-something via devious means. To inveigle.

-Thank you.

0:07:420:07:46

-John...

-Hello, Xander.

-Welcome to Pointless.

-Are you well?

0:07:460:07:49

I'm very well, thank you. It's lovely to have you here.

0:07:490:07:52

I wanted to ask you about your Eurovision song.

0:07:520:07:55

-What happened there?

-Oh... Well, Pigeons In Flight?

0:07:550:07:58

-Yes!

-I want to see you tonight...

0:07:580:08:00

I offered it to the Norwegians

0:08:000:08:02

because at the time they used to keep coming last, with nul points.

0:08:020:08:05

Anyway...

0:08:050:08:07

They didn't want it, because I wouldn't go and live in Norway.

0:08:070:08:09

So, where does your inspiration come from?

0:08:090:08:12

Well, erm... It can sometimes come from this show.

0:08:120:08:16

-Really?

-I tried to write a song about this show, but I couldn't,

0:08:160:08:19

so I've written another one. Erm...

0:08:190:08:21

Well, it's, er... It's one about having two margarines in the fridge.

0:08:210:08:26

At one time.

0:08:260:08:28

-JAUNTY TUNE BEGINS

-It goes a bit like this.

0:08:280:08:30

# Two margarines on the go, it's a

0:08:300:08:32

# Nightmare scenario

0:08:320:08:34

# Two margarines in my life

0:08:340:08:36

# Two margarines to put on my knife

0:08:360:08:38

# Two margarines but which one

0:08:380:08:40

# Should I use to butter my scone?

0:08:400:08:43

# It's a dilemma second to none. #

0:08:430:08:46

Isn't it?

0:08:460:08:48

Ooh.

0:08:480:08:50

Thank you.

0:08:500:08:51

Thank you, John.

0:08:550:08:57

John, what are you going to go for, for words ending "gle"?

0:08:570:09:01

I want to go for boggle, which...

0:09:010:09:03

But with a different meaning. It's a Lancastrian sprite.

0:09:030:09:06

Boggle, says John.

0:09:060:09:08

-Lose us the game!

-Let's see...

0:09:080:09:10

Let's see how many of our 100 people said boggle!

0:09:100:09:13

It's a high number.

0:09:140:09:16

-DAVE:

-Go on, you're in. You're in. You're in.

0:09:180:09:20

Oh, look at that! Look at that,

0:09:220:09:24

not bad at all! 10 for boggle!

0:09:240:09:26

-Well done!

-Thank you.

0:09:260:09:29

Yeah, well played, John. "To bamboozle or flummox".

0:09:310:09:34

-To boggle.

-To boggle.

0:09:340:09:36

Tuboggle - which of course is something completely different.

0:09:360:09:39

-It's something you slide down a hill on.

-Thank you very much, Richard.

0:09:390:09:43

-Erm, Carol, welcome back to Pointless.

-Thank you very much.

0:09:430:09:46

Something I discovered about you which I didn't know -

0:09:460:09:48

-you're mad keen on photography, aren't you?

-I am, yes.

0:09:480:09:51

You have a huge collection of cameras.

0:09:510:09:53

-I do! How do you know that?!

-I just discovered this.

0:09:530:09:56

What's your...? Of all your cameras, which is the one you prize the most?

0:09:560:09:59

Oh, it's an old one.

0:09:590:10:01

It'll be the Konica Hexar AF.

0:10:010:10:04

-A Hexar.

-Without a doubt, yeah.

0:10:040:10:06

It's weird, because when you use that camera and there are children

0:10:060:10:10

around, like Charlotte, they always go,

0:10:100:10:12

"Can I have a look at the picture on the back?"

0:10:120:10:15

And you go, "Yeah, look." And they get confused.

0:10:150:10:17

"Where's the picture?"

0:10:170:10:18

So, yeah, I'm a big fan of film photography, yeah. Love it.

0:10:180:10:21

I suppose now, people don't really have them any more, so you can probably pick them up quite cheaply,

0:10:210:10:25

-can you, or is that...?

-Yeah, you can, but they're becoming more popular, because everyone's realised

0:10:250:10:29

that digital photography is just too prolific. There's too much of it,

0:10:290:10:32

-and there's too many pictures and no-one looks at them.

-That's the trouble, no-one ever bothers

0:10:320:10:36

-printing them off. We all carry thousands of them around.

-Exactly.

0:10:360:10:39

-Look in an album, looking at pictures...

-Yeah, I know.

0:10:390:10:41

We should reintroduce it. Right, erm, Carol - words ending "gle".

0:10:410:10:44

I don't think I've got one that's as good as any of the ones

0:10:440:10:47

that have gone before. But I'm going to go with rectangle.

0:10:470:10:51

-Rectangle, says Carol.

-Yes.

-Rectangle - that's earned you

0:10:510:10:54

a vigorous nod from pretty much everyone down the line.

0:10:540:10:56

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

0:10:560:10:59

It's right. It's going to be a big, high score, though.

0:11:030:11:07

6 for rectangle!

0:11:100:11:12

Very well done indeed!

0:11:120:11:14

-Very good!

-That's not bad!

0:11:140:11:17

Well played, Carol. Yeah, rectangle, that means a drunk angle.

0:11:170:11:21

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

0:11:210:11:25

Nothing was the best score of the pass. Very well done indeed to you, Rachel.

0:11:250:11:29

Rachel and Stanley, I think you will be in Round Two.

0:11:290:11:31

As Lucy and Rob surely should be, with a lovely low score of 3.

0:11:310:11:35

Then up to 6, where we find Carol and Charlotte, and then up to 10.

0:11:350:11:38

You're not that far ahead, John and Dave but, Dave,

0:11:380:11:41

you know what we need from you -

0:11:410:11:43

-a nice low score to keep you in the game.

-Yes.

-Best of luck with that.

0:11:430:11:45

We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:11:450:11:49

OK, so, remember we are looking for words ending in "gle".

0:11:530:11:57

Erm, Charlotte...

0:11:570:11:59

-Oh! Am I next?

-Welcome to Pointless.

0:11:590:12:01

Erm, Charlotte, I want to know about Geordie Shore.

0:12:010:12:03

-Yes.

-How...? Because it's sort of...

0:12:030:12:04

What do you call it, structured drama?

0:12:040:12:06

-Is that what it's called?

-Ours isn't structured like everyone else's.

0:12:060:12:09

-Right.

-We do just live in a house.

0:12:090:12:11

A lot like Big Brother, when me and Carol were in.

0:12:110:12:13

-We've got cameras all over the house.

-Yeah.

-Which film us 24/7.

0:12:130:12:17

So, it's just really what happens.

0:12:170:12:18

It really is. No-one takes you aside and says, "Come on,

0:12:180:12:21

-"a nice storyline if..."?

-No, no.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Do you find your lives

0:12:210:12:24

become a bit more melodramatic having a camera there?

0:12:240:12:27

I think there's so much history with all of the cast members in there,

0:12:270:12:31

-it's hard to hide from drama.

-Yeah. Oh, you can't hide from drama.

0:12:310:12:34

-People annoy you so easily.

-Yeah. Do you leave really missing everyone,

0:12:340:12:39

or do you leave swearing you'll never see them again?

0:12:390:12:42

-Just so glad to be gone!

-Oh, really?

0:12:420:12:45

Now, Charlotte.

0:12:450:12:47

-Yes.

-Words ending "gle".

0:12:470:12:49

Well, I had one, right? But I had a little bit of a problem with it.

0:12:490:12:54

I don't know whether it's in the dictionary.

0:12:540:12:57

-Ah.

-Carol, I'm so sorry.

0:12:570:13:00

Oh, stop it, it'll be all right!

0:13:000:13:02

-Go on!

-OK. So, it's from Harry Potter.

0:13:020:13:05

-And it's muggle.

-Muggle.

0:13:050:13:08

Muggle. Yeah. I'd be very surprised if that wasn't in the dictionary.

0:13:080:13:11

You ideally would be scoring 3 or less to avoid overtaking

0:13:110:13:16

-our high score.

-I can't watch!

-There is your red line!

0:13:160:13:20

Let's see how far down the column you get with muggle.

0:13:200:13:24

Oh, god, it's not a word...

0:13:240:13:26

-It's right!

-Yes!

-It's right!

0:13:260:13:31

It scores you 2! SHE SHRIEKS

0:13:340:13:38

-Yes!

-This is good news on so many fronts!

0:13:380:13:41

That takes your total up to 8.

0:13:410:13:43

It means Carol gets through to Round Two for the first time in her

0:13:430:13:46

Pointless career. It's very exciting, very well done indeed.

0:13:460:13:49

-Muggle.

-Yeah, very well played.

0:13:490:13:50

It does actually come from the Harry Potter books,

0:13:500:13:53

and that's to mean someone without magical powers.

0:13:530:13:55

But now it means anyone who's not conversant in a particular skill

0:13:550:13:58

is called a muggle.

0:13:580:14:00

There you go. OK.

0:14:000:14:02

-Now, Dave.

-Yes.

-Wow, that puts the pressure on you there.

-It does.

0:14:020:14:05

We have to have ideally a pointless answer from you.

0:14:050:14:08

-Yes.

-But anyway, before that...

-Yes.

-Tell us about the bet.

0:14:080:14:12

-You'd better talk to me now because I won't be around for long.

-We'd better get it all out now.

0:14:120:14:15

-Danny Wallace and you had a bet.

-Yes.

-What happened?

0:14:150:14:19

Er, the bet was to see if I could meet 54 people called Dave Gorman,

0:14:190:14:23

and I succeeded in that bet,

0:14:230:14:26

and I've now met something like 108.

0:14:260:14:28

And no matter how much I protest, they won't stop coming to meet me.

0:14:280:14:32

Yeah. That's true, there's a critical mass.

0:14:320:14:34

-Yeah.

-Up to a certain point, you have to do all the work...

0:14:340:14:37

-Yeah.

-And after that certain point, you've just got to turn away the Daves Gorman.

0:14:370:14:40

There were five people who changed their name by deed poll to Dave Gorman, including two girls.

0:14:400:14:45

-That's nice.

-One of them who,

0:14:450:14:47

her boyfriend also changed his name to Dave Gorman,

0:14:470:14:50

and we are hoping for the world's first inter-Dave Gorman marriage.

0:14:500:14:55

Dave, we really need a pointless answer from you...

0:14:550:14:58

-Yes.

-..just to keep you in with a ghost of a chance.

0:14:580:15:01

-What would you like to go for?

-The pressure is on.

0:15:010:15:03

Again, there is a word which I think might or might not be in the dictionary. It is...

0:15:030:15:08

a Jamaican dance hall dance.

0:15:080:15:11

-I'm thinking...bogle.

-Bogle.

-Yeah.

0:15:110:15:14

B-O-G-L-E.

0:15:140:15:16

OK, let's see. No red line for you, because you are the highest scorers.

0:15:160:15:19

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

0:15:190:15:22

It's right. It's right.

0:15:240:15:27

It scores you 1, Dave, taking your total up to 11!

0:15:330:15:36

Very well played, Dave - might have kept yourself in it there.

0:15:390:15:42

Yeah, not only the Jamaican dance hall dance,

0:15:420:15:44

but also that's the fairy or sprite that John was talking about.

0:15:440:15:47

-That's a bogle.

-Is it?

-Yes.

-Oh!

-So, basically we both said bogle.

0:15:470:15:51

-Essentially, yeah.

-So, we should have two points, not 11.

0:15:510:15:54

If the Romans were watching this now, they would think you'd got 2 points. So, that's good news.

0:15:540:15:59

Thank you very much indeed. Stanley, welcome back.

0:15:590:16:03

-Lovely to be here.

-Now, what I wanted to ask you is,

0:16:030:16:06

one of the things you enjoy the most

0:16:060:16:08

is to watch wild animals in their natural habitats.

0:16:080:16:11

Now, I noticed that you've seen a polar bear in the Arctic.

0:16:110:16:14

How long were you there for, and where did you find it?

0:16:140:16:17

Well, we were going in a ship,

0:16:170:16:19

a Russian research vessel, round Svalbard.

0:16:190:16:22

Svalbard is, you know, north, north, north of Norway.

0:16:220:16:25

There are about 3,000 of them there, in Svalbard.

0:16:250:16:27

They outnumber the inhabitants, don't they?

0:16:270:16:29

Well, there are 3,000 polar bears on Svalbard, and actually in Svlabard

0:16:290:16:32

you are told it is illegal to go walking without carrying a weapon.

0:16:320:16:35

-That's right.

-And, yes, I'm jolly lucky to have a chance to do

0:16:350:16:38

all these wonderful things which involve travelling around the world endlessly,

0:16:380:16:42

occasionally coming to Borehamwood, to see wild animals!

0:16:420:16:46

Stanley, I'm slightly reluctant to stop you, but...

0:16:460:16:49

I'm going to ask what your answer is.

0:16:490:16:52

Rachel got a pointless answer. It would be perfect, wouldn't it, if you got one as well.

0:16:520:16:57

I'm actually going to go for pentangle.

0:16:570:17:00

Pentangle. Pentangle.

0:17:000:17:02

That's earned you a murmur from the crowd, which is good.

0:17:020:17:04

Here is your red line. If you get below that red line with pentangle, you're through to the next round.

0:17:040:17:08

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

0:17:080:17:11

Well, it gets you through, and it scores you 3.

0:17:200:17:23

3 for pentangle.

0:17:250:17:27

Lovely answer, Stanley, very well played.

0:17:290:17:31

-Yeah, another name for a pentagram.

-There you go. OK.

0:17:310:17:34

Now, Rob - Richard said that you're a seasoned quizzer.

0:17:340:17:37

-Yes.

-He wasn't kidding. I mean,

0:17:370:17:39

you did your first quiz on telly aged 12?

0:17:390:17:42

Yes. I did Crack It. Everyone remembers Crack It, right?

0:17:420:17:45

Yeah. What happened to you in Crack It?

0:17:450:17:48

Well, I got really scared.

0:17:480:17:51

It was all... We had this rehearsal and it went great.

0:17:510:17:53

It was on TV-am, it was on Saturday morning TV.

0:17:530:17:56

-Yeah.

-And then when the cameras went on, I went...

0:17:560:17:59

-HE GASPS

-Like that.

0:17:590:18:01

And they said, "True or false, Penny Black is a coin?"

0:18:010:18:04

And I went, "True! Aghh!" Like that.

0:18:040:18:05

-And then I was out.

-Are you feeling a bit calmer today?

0:18:050:18:08

No. A lot of pressure. Because by now,

0:18:080:18:11

someone's supposed to have messed up!

0:18:110:18:13

You're on 3. Ideally, you would score 7 or less.

0:18:130:18:15

I wanted... My first thought...

0:18:150:18:17

I'm not going to do it but my first thought was dongle.

0:18:170:18:19

I thought, if that's in the dictionary, it's good,

0:18:190:18:21

but then people might say it as well. So, I was inspired by bogle.

0:18:210:18:24

-Bugle.

-HE MIMICS A BUGLE

0:18:240:18:27

Oh, I've got you, yes. Bugle. Erm, here's your red line -

0:18:270:18:31

if you can get below this red line with bugle,

0:18:310:18:33

you're into Round Two. Let's see how many of our 100 people said bugle.

0:18:330:18:36

It's a word, it's a word!

0:18:420:18:44

-Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!

-Unexpected!

0:18:460:18:50

15 for bugle!

0:18:500:18:51

Unexpected!

0:18:510:18:54

That takes your total up to 18.

0:18:540:18:56

That is a high score - the bugle sounds again, I'm afraid.

0:18:560:18:59

Dongle also would have seen you knocked out,

0:18:590:19:01

because that would have scored you 11 points.

0:19:010:19:03

-Lots and lots of pointless answers here.

-Shall I...?

-Yeah, have you got one?

0:19:030:19:06

-Quadrangle, is mine.

-Quadrangle - it's not what I guessed.

0:19:060:19:10

4 Points. Whereas quinquangle was a pointless answer.

0:19:100:19:13

-Oh! That's what you put down for me?

-Oh, no, no, no.

-Oh, no, phew.

0:19:130:19:17

I put down boondoggle for you. Which was also a pointless answer.

0:19:170:19:20

-You flatter me!

-Let's take a look at our pointless answers, shall we?

0:19:200:19:23

All sorts of answers here.

0:19:230:19:24

Fandangle was a pointless answer.

0:19:260:19:27

-Gargle....

-Gargle!

-Gargle was my first choice!

0:19:270:19:30

Sorry, everyone! I binned gargle for bugle!

0:19:300:19:34

Honeyfuggle. Intermingle.

0:19:340:19:36

Inveigle. Smuggle.

0:19:360:19:38

A pointless answer, amazingly.

0:19:380:19:40

Spreadeagle - that's a lovely pointless answer.

0:19:400:19:42

Squiggle, untangle - lots and lots of pointless answers.

0:19:420:19:45

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

0:19:450:19:47

the ones that most of our 100 people said.

0:19:470:19:50

There we are. Well, thank you very much indeed.

0:19:570:19:59

What an extraordinary round that was,

0:19:590:20:01

-and what a strange twist in the tail, Rob. Ah!

-Gargle.

-Gargle...

0:20:010:20:04

Standing here with gargle in my head for ten minutes, I heard bogle,

0:20:040:20:06

I thought, "I know - bugle!" And now we're going home!

0:20:060:20:09

-Oh!

-That's life!

-Well, we have to say goodbye to you.

0:20:090:20:12

Very, very low score.

0:20:120:20:13

And very well done. Lovely start from Lucy as well.

0:20:130:20:16

-But we'll see you again, I hope, another time.

-I'll have to come back to...

-You have to.

0:20:160:20:19

But it's been lovely having you on. Rob and Lucy, brilliant.

0:20:190:20:22

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

0:20:250:20:27

And now we're down to three pairs.

0:20:320:20:34

At the end of this round we'll have to say goodbye to another pair but,

0:20:340:20:36

oh, I have plaudits to hand out!

0:20:360:20:38

John and Dave, well done for getting through.

0:20:380:20:41

Very exciting in that last round there.

0:20:410:20:43

-Carol, Round Two, lovely to have you here.

-I know! Never known it!

0:20:430:20:47

Charlotte - lovely low score there with muggle.

0:20:470:20:49

-Very well done.

-Yep.

-And Stanley and Rachel,

0:20:490:20:52

wonderful low-scoring there and a pointless answer, of course.

0:20:520:20:54

It's just getting more and more competitive as each round goes by!

0:20:540:20:58

Best of luck to all three pairs.

0:20:580:21:00

Our category for Round Two this evening is...

0:21:000:21:02

Sport.

0:21:020:21:04

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

0:21:040:21:09

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

0:21:090:21:11

OK, and the question concerns...

0:21:150:21:18

Alliterative sportspeople.

0:21:180:21:21

-Richard.

-Yeah, on each board we're going to show you the names of six

0:21:210:21:24

sports people whose first and surnames begin with the same letter.

0:21:240:21:27

You just need to tell us the name of the sport with which they're most closely associated, please.

0:21:270:21:31

Six on the first board, six on the second,

0:21:310:21:34

-12 in all to have a go at at home. Good luck.

-Thanks very much indeed.

0:21:340:21:37

So, we're looking for the sports that are played by these

0:21:370:21:39

alliterative sportspeople. And here is our first board. We have...

0:21:390:21:43

Rachel, this is a dream come true, isn't it?

0:21:590:22:02

I only actually know one of...

0:22:020:22:04

One-and-a-half.

0:22:040:22:06

I'm going to say Ray Reardon.

0:22:090:22:11

-Snooker?

-Snooker.

0:22:110:22:14

Ray Reardon, snooker, says Rachel. Let's see if it's right, let's see

0:22:140:22:18

how many of our 100 people said snooker.

0:22:180:22:21

It's right.

0:22:230:22:24

So, a very high...

0:22:250:22:28

84. Listen, that's a lot better than 100.

0:22:280:22:30

-84.

-Yeah, former policeman and miner, Ray Reardon.

0:22:300:22:34

They called him Dracula. Because he slept in a coffin and drank blood.

0:22:340:22:37

-On account of what, his...?

-His hair looked like...

-His widow's peak.

0:22:390:22:42

-His widow's peak, yeah.

-Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

-That's a pleasure.

-Now, Dave.

0:22:420:22:46

Right, erm...

0:22:460:22:48

There's two that I know.

0:22:490:22:51

There's one which I have a real long shot at.

0:22:510:22:55

But I'm so scared that it's going to be 100 rather than pointless.

0:22:550:23:00

And with an 84 on the board, I'm going to play it safe, I think,

0:23:000:23:03

and say Mickey Mantle, baseball.

0:23:030:23:06

-Mickey Mantle, baseball, says Dave.

-I might be wrong there, I...

0:23:060:23:10

Let's see if Mickey Mantle's right for baseball.

0:23:100:23:12

It is right.

0:23:160:23:17

It is right.

0:23:190:23:20

There we are, 22 for Mickey Mantle. A high of 84 and a low of 22.

0:23:220:23:27

Well played, Dave. Yeah, his entire career spent at the New York Yankees.

0:23:280:23:32

I'll ask you what your risk was at the end of the pass as well.

0:23:320:23:35

Thanks very much, Richard. Carol, this board's all yours -

0:23:350:23:37

if you would like to go through them all and fill in all the sports,

0:23:370:23:41

you'd be most welcome.

0:23:410:23:43

Yeah, no, I'll... I'll give that a miss.

0:23:430:23:46

Erm, I only know one, and I think I know it.

0:23:460:23:48

If it's... It might be wrong, but I think Didier Drogba is in football.

0:23:480:23:53

-A footballer.

-Didier Drogba, football, says Carol.

0:23:530:23:56

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

0:23:560:23:58

It's right. Ooh, and it passes 84, down to 69!

0:24:000:24:04

For Didier Drogba being a footballer.

0:24:040:24:08

Very well played. If this round proves anything,

0:24:080:24:11

it's how famous Ray Reardon is, I think.

0:24:110:24:13

-Yes.

-Erm, Dave, what was the risk you were going to go for?

0:24:130:24:16

It was Desmond Douglas... At the back of my head I have table tennis.

0:24:160:24:20

You're absolutely right. Although it actually scores 19 points,

0:24:200:24:24

so it was pretty much the same as Mickey Mantle.

0:24:240:24:27

There he is. Gordon Greenidge is, er...

0:24:270:24:30

-Cricket.

-..West Indian cricketer, yeah. Would have scored you 26.

0:24:300:24:34

And the best answer on the board,

0:24:340:24:35

he's the subject of a song in the South Park movie,

0:24:350:24:38

What Would Brian Boitano Do? And he was a figure skater.

0:24:380:24:41

Brian Boitano.

0:24:410:24:43

6 points for that, so very well played if you said that.

0:24:430:24:46

There we are. Well...

0:24:460:24:48

All sorts of different pressures on people for this next pass.

0:24:480:24:50

Let's take a look at the scores. 22 the best score of that pass.

0:24:500:24:53

Very well done indeed, Dave and John.

0:24:530:24:55

Then we travel up to 69, Carol and Charlotte,

0:24:550:24:57

and then not that much further ahead are Rachel and Stanley on 84.

0:24:570:25:01

So, Stanley, yes, a little bit of pressure on you to find a nice low score in the next pass.

0:25:010:25:04

Good luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now.

0:25:040:25:07

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:25:070:25:09

OK, let's put six more alliterative sportspeople up on the board -

0:25:120:25:15

and here they are. We have got...

0:25:150:25:18

I'll read those all one last time.

0:25:250:25:28

There we are. Now, Charlotte,

0:25:340:25:36

ideally, you'd score 14 or less.

0:25:360:25:39

I want to go for one which doesn't look familiar.

0:25:390:25:43

Ideally. But then it has to be right.

0:25:430:25:46

I'm going to go for Bonnie Blair.

0:25:460:25:48

-Yes.

-What's...? How do you pronounce his name?

0:25:480:25:51

-Is it Bonnie Blair?

-I think...

-Can I just know if that's a girl or a boy?

0:25:510:25:55

It doesn't matter, just which sport do you think Bonnie Blair is attached to? Is associated with?

0:25:550:26:00

That's a girl, isn't it?

0:26:000:26:03

What difference does it make?

0:26:030:26:05

Bonnie Blair played...

0:26:050:26:07

-Ice hockey.

-Ice hockey.

0:26:110:26:13

Bonnie Blair. Bonnie Blair.

0:26:130:26:15

Let's find out. This would just be brilliant if this were right.

0:26:150:26:17

Let's see. There is your red line. Bonnie Blair, ice hockey,

0:26:170:26:20

is that right? How many people said it if it is?

0:26:200:26:22

-Oh, no!

-Damn!

0:26:260:26:28

Bonnie Blair... Oh, I was believing Bonnie Blair is an ice hockey player

0:26:280:26:31

there! 169 is your total, that scores you 100 points.

0:26:310:26:34

Yeah, sorry, Charlotte - it's the most Geordie of all the names up there, Bonnie Blair, I think.

0:26:340:26:38

But I will give all the correct answers at the end of the pass. OK.

0:26:380:26:41

Thanks very much, Richard.

0:26:410:26:43

Well! That not just takes the pressure off, that guarantees you,

0:26:430:26:46

that's a bye through to the head-to-head, John.

0:26:460:26:48

-Is it?

-So, even if you scored 100 you'd still go through.

0:26:480:26:52

Well, I think I know Vincent, but...

0:26:520:26:55

I'd rather go for Beryl Burton, cos I like saying the name.

0:26:550:26:59

Beryl Burton.

0:26:590:27:01

Er, cyclist.

0:27:010:27:02

Beryl Burton, cyclist, says John. No red line for you, you're already

0:27:020:27:05

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

0:27:050:27:08

-It's right.

-Well done.

-Thank you. Come on!

0:27:120:27:15

23. Very good indeed.

0:27:180:27:20

Nice grouping between the scores there as well!

0:27:200:27:22

45 is your total, the lowest total of the round, I might add.

0:27:220:27:25

Very well played, John. Yes, still holds the women's 12-hour world record,

0:27:250:27:30

Beryl Burton, set 50 years ago.

0:27:300:27:32

And when she set it, it was faster than the men's 12-hour record as well.

0:27:320:27:35

When she set it, she passed the UK men's champion on the road and

0:27:350:27:38

offered him a Liquorice Allsort to give him a bit of energy.

0:27:380:27:42

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:27:420:27:44

Now, Stanley. That has helped you out.

0:27:440:27:47

Your score at the moment is 84, and actually your target is also 84.

0:27:470:27:50

If you can score 84 or less, you are through to the head-to-head.

0:27:500:27:54

So, a little bit of pressure off there, thanks to Charlotte.

0:27:540:27:57

Bjorn Borg is a pretty obvious one.

0:27:570:28:01

I'm going to go for Alberto Ascari,

0:28:010:28:03

because I remember,

0:28:030:28:04

I remember the song.

0:28:040:28:06

Alberto Ascari, he drives a Ferrari.

0:28:060:28:09

So, I'm going to go for Alberto Ascari in motor racing.

0:28:090:28:14

He might have just driven one in his spare time, of course.

0:28:140:28:17

But, erm, let's find out.

0:28:170:28:20

Here is your red line - if you get below that with motor racing, you are through to the head-to-head.

0:28:200:28:24

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

0:28:240:28:26

It's right.

0:28:290:28:30

And you're through to the head-to-head. Very well done indeed.

0:28:300:28:33

Alberto Ascari...

0:28:330:28:35

takes you down to 9. Very good indeed! 93 is your total.

0:28:350:28:40

That's brilliant work, Stanley.

0:28:420:28:44

Well played. Yeah, one of the early heroes of Formula 1, Alberto Ascari.

0:28:440:28:47

John, if you'd had to go for Vincent van der Voort,

0:28:470:28:50

-what would you have said?

-Er, he does that, doesn't he?

0:28:500:28:53

Bit of that, darts?

0:28:530:28:55

Is exactly right. Yeah, would have scored you 15 points as well,

0:28:550:28:58

would have been terrific. Now, Bonnie Blair...

0:28:580:29:00

She's not an ice hockey player, but she's a speed skater.

0:29:000:29:03

-I've been robbed!

-So close!

-I've been robbed!

0:29:030:29:07

-So close!

-2 points if you had said speed skating.

0:29:070:29:11

Ernie Els is a golfer.

0:29:110:29:14

58 points for that. Stanley, were you tempted to go for Bjorn Borg?

0:29:140:29:17

I was. I was, yes.

0:29:170:29:19

Lucky you didn't, it would have scored you...

0:29:190:29:22

97 points.

0:29:220:29:23

-Oh!

-Oh!

0:29:230:29:25

97 points, how about that?

0:29:250:29:26

There we are, thank you very much indeed.

0:29:260:29:29

So, at the end of our second round, the pair we have to say goodbye to,

0:29:290:29:32

I'm so sorry!

0:29:320:29:33

Carol, lovely to have you here for twice as long as normal.

0:29:330:29:36

-Yeah, I know! A privilege!

-But I'm afraid this is where we have to say goodbye. Charlotte,

0:29:360:29:39

it's great to have you here for the first time. Please both come back and play again.

0:29:390:29:43

-It's been wonderful to have you here. Charlotte and Carol.

-Thank you.

-Bye.

0:29:430:29:46

But for John and Dave, Stanley and Rachel,

0:29:490:29:51

it's now time for our head-to-head.

0:29:510:29:53

Congratulations, John and Dave, Stanley and Rachel.

0:29:560:29:59

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

0:29:590:30:02

our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,750.

0:30:020:30:05

So, at this point,

0:30:080:30:10

we have to decide who's going to go through to the final and play for

0:30:100:30:12

that jackpot. And we do it by making you go head-to-head,

0:30:120:30:15

but the big difference is, you're now allowed to confer,

0:30:150:30:17

so you can start playing as a team.

0:30:170:30:19

You can chat before you give your answers -

0:30:190:30:20

first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot for

0:30:200:30:23

their charities. Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head!

0:30:230:30:27

Here is your first question, and it concerns...

0:30:320:30:35

Yeah, we're going to play you extracts now from five songs which

0:30:390:30:42

contain lyrics about falling in love.

0:30:420:30:44

All you have to do is tell us the act or the artist you are

0:30:440:30:47

listening to, please. Very best of luck.

0:30:470:30:49

OK, let's hear our five excerpts, and here they come.

0:30:490:30:52

We have got A...

0:30:520:30:54

# And your girlfriend agreed

0:30:570:30:59

# That falling in love is so hard on your knees

0:30:590:31:04

# Chip off the old block, man, You're so much like your sister... #

0:31:070:31:11

Here's B...

0:31:130:31:15

# Ever fallen in love with someone

0:31:150:31:17

# Ever fallen in love In love with someone

0:31:170:31:19

# Ever fallen in love In love with someone

0:31:190:31:22

# You shouldn't have fallen in love with

0:31:220:31:24

# Ever fallen in love with someone

0:31:260:31:27

# Ever fallen in love

0:31:270:31:29

# In love with someone

0:31:290:31:30

# Ever fallen in love

0:31:300:31:32

# In love with someone

0:31:320:31:33

# You shouldn't have fallen in love with... #

0:31:330:31:35

Here's C...

0:31:370:31:38

# When I fall in love

0:31:400:31:45

# It will be forever

0:31:450:31:51

# Or I'll never fall in love... #

0:31:510:31:58

Here is D...

0:32:020:32:04

# Wise men say

0:32:050:32:11

# Only fools rush in

0:32:110:32:17

# But I can't help

0:32:190:32:24

# Falling in love with you... #

0:32:240:32:31

And here is E...

0:32:330:32:34

# Fall in love

0:32:360:32:44

# No, I'm never gonna fall in love... #

0:32:440:32:52

OK. Now, John and Dave, which of those would you like to go for?

0:32:530:32:57

Er, B - Buzzcocks.

0:32:570:32:59

Buzzcocks. Buzzcocks, say John and Dave.

0:32:590:33:02

For B. Now, then, Stanley and Rachel.

0:33:020:33:06

I think C was Bing Crosby?

0:33:060:33:08

C - Bing Crosby.

0:33:080:33:10

So, we have Buzzcocks, and we have Bing Crosby for C.

0:33:100:33:14

Now, then, John and Dave said Buzzcocks for B.

0:33:140:33:16

Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Buzzcocks.

0:33:160:33:20

It's right.

0:33:240:33:25

-20.

-That's all right.

0:33:290:33:34

20 for Buzzcocks.

0:33:340:33:35

Now, Stanley and Rachel have said Bing Crosby for C.

0:33:350:33:39

Let's see if that's right.

0:33:390:33:40

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

0:33:400:33:43

-Ooh, bad luck.

-Oh, no!

0:33:460:33:49

Bad luck. Not Bing Crosby.

0:33:490:33:51

But, John and Dave, very well done.

0:33:510:33:53

After one question, you're up 1-0.

0:33:530:33:55

Yeah, not Bing Cosby. A...

0:33:550:33:57

Let's have a little listen.

0:33:570:33:58

MUSIC PLAYS

0:33:580:34:00

..Was Falling In Love Is Hard On The Knees by Aerosmith.

0:34:000:34:03

A for Aerosmith. That would have scored you nine points.

0:34:050:34:07

C was not Bing Crosby, but it was...

0:34:080:34:11

MUSIC PLAYS

0:34:110:34:13

..Nat King Cole. There's a C for you.

0:34:130:34:16

And that would have scored you 41.

0:34:160:34:18

-D...

-D was Elvis.

0:34:220:34:23

..was Elvis, of course it was.

0:34:230:34:25

Yep. And Elvis would have scored you 71 points.

0:34:250:34:27

MUSIC PLAYS

0:34:270:34:29

Now, E is an interesting one.

0:34:300:34:32

Let's have a little listen to E.

0:34:320:34:33

MUSIC PLAYS

0:34:330:34:35

Now, this was written by Lonnie Donegan, this song, and it was sung by...

0:34:350:34:40

-Tom Jones.

-Tom Jones, yeah.

0:34:400:34:41

And it was the best answer on the

0:34:410:34:43

board, would have scored eight points.

0:34:430:34:45

There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:34:450:34:47

So here comes your second question.

0:34:470:34:49

Stanley and Rachel, you get to answer this one first.

0:34:490:34:51

But you have to win this one to stay in the game.

0:34:510:34:53

So, very best of luck. Our second question today is all about...

0:34:530:34:57

Yeah, five pictures now of skyscrapers that were completed in

0:35:030:35:06

the 21st century. We need the name of the city where you would find these skyscrapers.

0:35:060:35:09

-We have given you the initials of the cities as well. Good luck.

-OK.

0:35:090:35:12

Let's reveal our five skyscrapers, and here they come.

0:35:120:35:15

We have got...

0:35:160:35:18

There we are. Five 21st-century skyscrapers.

0:35:420:35:45

Stanley and Rachel, you will go first.

0:35:450:35:47

THEY WHISPER

0:35:490:35:51

It's a city, do you see?

0:35:510:35:53

OK. E.

0:35:560:35:58

Had some problems, but I think we're going to go for Dubai.

0:35:580:36:01

-Which is...?

-Number E.

0:36:020:36:05

OK, E, Dubai. E, Dubai,

0:36:050:36:07

say Stanley and Rachel. Now, John and Dave.

0:36:070:36:09

I think we should go for Madrid.

0:36:090:36:11

We'll take a guess. We don't think we can win with A or B,

0:36:110:36:14

so will guess at C and Madrid.

0:36:140:36:16

C, Madrid.

0:36:160:36:17

So we have Dubai and Madrid.

0:36:170:36:19

Stanley and Rachel have gone for Dubai for E.

0:36:190:36:22

Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.

0:36:220:36:24

It is Dubai.

0:36:270:36:28

50 for Dubai.

0:36:320:36:34

Now, John and Dave have said Madrid for C. Let's see if that's right.

0:36:360:36:40

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

0:36:400:36:43

No.

0:36:470:36:48

Not Madrid. Very well done, Stanley and Rachel.

0:36:490:36:51

That's exactly what you needed to do. You're back in the game. It's 1-1 after two questions.

0:36:510:36:55

Yeah, well played. Had to take the risk though, gents,

0:36:550:36:57

but lots of cities that fit that description. The M and then the blanks there.

0:36:570:37:01

Let's take a look through all the answers first.

0:37:010:37:03

L, of course, stands for London.

0:37:030:37:05

What do you think that scored?

0:37:050:37:07

Um... Really?

0:37:070:37:09

Yeah. 73.

0:37:090:37:11

Amazing, isn't it?

0:37:110:37:14

That's The Shard. Now B is, of course, New York.

0:37:140:37:16

That's a bigger score because of the letters there.

0:37:160:37:19

That would have scored...

0:37:190:37:20

Now let's clear up this third one.

0:37:210:37:24

The Shard was the tallest building in Europe until this, which is the

0:37:240:37:27

Mercury City Tower, and it's not in Madrid, it's not in Munich,

0:37:270:37:31

-it's not in Mordor...

-It's not in Mumbai?

0:37:310:37:33

It's not in Manila, it's not in Mumbai.

0:37:330:37:36

-Moscow.

-It's in Moscow.

0:37:360:37:38

And would have scored two points.

0:37:390:37:41

So, gents, you went for Madrid.

0:37:410:37:43

Actually, you would be in the final now if, for D, you had gone

0:37:430:37:46

just up the road and said Barcelona.

0:37:460:37:50

Would have scored you 15 points.

0:37:500:37:52

Goodness me. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:37:520:37:54

Here comes your third question. This is the decider.

0:37:540:37:56

Whoever wins this goes through to the final.

0:37:560:37:59

Best of luck to both pairs.

0:37:590:38:01

Our third question is all about...

0:38:010:38:03

LAUGHTER

0:38:030:38:05

We are going to show you five clues now to facts about Freddie Mercury.

0:38:060:38:09

Whichever team gives us the most obscure answer is going through to

0:38:090:38:12

play for that jackpot, so very best of luck, both teams.

0:38:120:38:15

Thank you very much. Let's reveal our five clues.

0:38:150:38:17

We have got...

0:38:170:38:19

I shall read those again.

0:38:350:38:37

There we are, John and Dave, to you first.

0:38:520:38:55

I think... Found overlooking this lake, it's got to be that...

0:38:570:39:01

Well, I believe they call it Lake Lemon,

0:39:010:39:05

over there. But it's Lake Geneva.

0:39:050:39:07

OK, you are going to say Lake Geneva.

0:39:070:39:09

-Go for that?

-I've no idea.

0:39:090:39:11

Yes, Lake Geneva say John and Dave.

0:39:110:39:13

Now, Stanley and Rachel, the board is all yours.

0:39:130:39:17

Thinking out loud, I do spend a lot of time

0:39:170:39:20

in East Africa.

0:39:200:39:21

I do indeed remember when Tasmania was Tasmania,

0:39:230:39:26

and Zanzibar was Zanzibar.

0:39:260:39:28

But then they joined.

0:39:280:39:30

Tasmania, not Tanzania, you mean Tanzania?

0:39:300:39:33

Yeah, I always get it muddled. Yeah, sometimes I went off to Tanzania...

0:39:330:39:36

Are you confident with this answer?

0:39:360:39:38

My answer is that the island is called Zanzibar.

0:39:380:39:42

Zanzibar, so we have Lake Geneva and we have Zanzibar.

0:39:420:39:45

John and Dave have gone for Lake Geneva.

0:39:450:39:47

Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.

0:39:470:39:50

-It's right.

-Come on, come on.

0:39:530:39:55

-26.

-Not bad, not bad.

0:39:580:40:00

26 for Lake Geneva.

0:40:010:40:03

Stanley and Rachel, meanwhile, have gone for Zanzibar.

0:40:050:40:07

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

0:40:070:40:10

Zanzibar.

0:40:100:40:11

It is Zanzibar.

0:40:140:40:15

Oh, 34 for Zanzibar.

0:40:190:40:22

Which means, very well done indeed, John and Dave.

0:40:220:40:24

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

0:40:240:40:27

Yeah, Zanzibar is the biggest answer on the board,

0:40:280:40:30

funnily enough. Let's fill all of them in.

0:40:300:40:32

The decade he was born, what would you guess that?

0:40:320:40:35

'50s...? '40s.

0:40:350:40:36

-No. Really?

-Yeah, 1946 he was born in.

0:40:360:40:38

Yeah.

0:40:380:40:40

28 points for that.

0:40:400:40:41

The title of his first solo album, this is the best answer on the board.

0:40:410:40:44

He dedicated it to his cats, and it was called Mr Bad Guy.

0:40:440:40:48

That would have scored six points.

0:40:490:40:50

And the opera singer...?

0:40:500:40:52

Erm... Montserrat...?

0:40:520:40:54

Montserrat Caballe.

0:40:540:40:56

And that would have scored you 20 points.

0:40:560:40:59

-Very well done if you said that.

-Thank you very much indeed.

0:40:590:41:01

So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid, it's Stanley and Rachel.

0:41:010:41:06

A fantastic performance, and very hard-fought head-to-head there,

0:41:060:41:09

but please come and play again.

0:41:090:41:11

It's been great having you here.

0:41:110:41:13

Thank you so much. Stanley and Rachel.

0:41:130:41:15

APPLAUSE

0:41:150:41:17

But for John and Dave, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:41:170:41:19

Congratulations, John and Dave,

0:41:250:41:27

you have fought off all the competition and you have won our

0:41:270:41:30

coveted Pointless trophy.

0:41:300:41:31

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,

0:41:380:41:40

and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...

0:41:400:41:44

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:41:440:41:46

Well, what can I say?

0:41:470:41:50

Well done. As always, you get to choose your category for this round,

0:41:500:41:54

from four that we will put up on the board behind me.

0:41:540:41:57

Let's have a look at today's selection and see what's up there.

0:41:570:41:59

We have got...

0:41:590:42:01

-I think D's in geography.

-It's going to be D's in geography?

0:42:080:42:11

-Yeah.

-OK. All right.

-OK, D's in geography it is.

0:42:110:42:13

Yeah, very best of luck. A good chance here,

0:42:130:42:15

and I think lots of people at home will have a good chance on this as

0:42:150:42:18

well. We are looking for any of the following that contain a letter D,

0:42:180:42:21

anywhere in their names.

0:42:210:42:22

Does not have to begin with D, just D anywhere in the name.

0:42:220:42:25

We are looking for any country of the world,

0:42:250:42:27

as always, a country means a sovereign state that is a member of the UN in

0:42:270:42:30

its own right. The English names of the capital cities of any of those

0:42:300:42:33

countries of the world, please,

0:42:330:42:34

that contain a letter D.

0:42:340:42:36

Any of the official UK cities that contain a D, anywhere in the name.

0:42:360:42:40

So, countries of the world, capital cities of the world, or UK cities.

0:42:400:42:43

Any of which have a D anywhere in their name.

0:42:430:42:46

-Very best of luck.

-Thank you very much indeed.

0:42:460:42:49

As always, you have up to one minute to come up with three answers,

0:42:490:42:51

and all you need to win that jackpot for your charities is for just one

0:42:510:42:54

of those answers to be pointless.

0:42:540:42:56

-Are you ready?

-As we'll ever be, Xander!

0:42:560:42:59

-Yes.

-Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.

0:42:590:43:02

There they are.

0:43:020:43:03

Your time starts now.

0:43:030:43:05

-Well, uh...

-Can we do it...

0:43:050:43:07

-Do we whisper, or do we...?

-You can do it like that.

0:43:070:43:09

Chad. Chad, is of course a very good one.

0:43:090:43:11

That's quite well-known. UK cities, what's that one that has just become a city?

0:43:110:43:15

Lichfield ends in a D.

0:43:150:43:16

-Lichfield is a town.

-Is it?

0:43:160:43:17

-It's got a cathedral.

-Oh.

0:43:170:43:19

-So I think it might be...

-Saint David's is a city.

0:43:190:43:23

-Is it?

-Yes.

-Yes?

-Yeah, yeah.

0:43:230:43:25

No, it's in Wales. It's the smallest city in Britain.

0:43:250:43:28

-Oh, all right.

-Saint David's.

-Unless, of the 100 people,

0:43:280:43:31

about 12 of them are Welsh, in which case...

0:43:310:43:33

Well, Saint David's.

0:43:330:43:35

Lichfield. We can go for any of the categories.

0:43:350:43:38

-And Chad.

-Shall we do that?

-Yes.

0:43:380:43:39

-OK.

-Are you happy with those?

0:43:390:43:41

-That's lasted a minute.

-What's Djibouti?

0:43:410:43:44

D-J...

0:43:440:43:45

Uh, is that a country?

0:43:450:43:47

I don't know. A city or a country, I can't remember what it is.

0:43:470:43:49

-It's not a country.

-OK, well...

0:43:490:43:51

-Go on.

-No, no, I don't know which it is.

-Ten seconds...

0:43:510:43:54

-Say it again.

-Djibouti.

0:43:540:43:56

Djibouti, that's not a country, it's a city.

0:43:560:43:58

I don't know. I genuinely don't know.

0:43:580:44:00

It's just a thing. Let's stick with what we said.

0:44:000:44:03

All right.

0:44:030:44:04

OK, that's your time up, I now need your three answers.

0:44:040:44:06

What are you going to go for? And if you say which category in each case.

0:44:060:44:10

-We would like two from the UK cities.

-Yup.

0:44:100:44:12

-Lichfield.

-Lichfield.

0:44:120:44:14

Which I don't believe is a city, but.

0:44:140:44:16

It does have a cathedral.

0:44:160:44:17

Well, it must be, then. And Saint David's.

0:44:170:44:20

-And Saint David's.

-That's in the UK, yes, Wales.

0:44:200:44:22

OK.

0:44:220:44:23

And what's your third answer going to be?

0:44:230:44:26

A country, Chad.

0:44:260:44:27

Chad. Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:44:270:44:31

-Shall we put Chad first?

-Chad first.

0:44:310:44:35

Then Lichfield, then Saint David's.

0:44:350:44:37

I think Saint David's is very good.

0:44:370:44:39

-Brilliant.

-Great.

0:44:390:44:40

OK, we will put those up on the board in that order, then. And here they are.

0:44:400:44:43

We have got...

0:44:430:44:44

Well, very, very best of luck. Three great answers on the board there.

0:44:460:44:49

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

0:44:490:44:52

And if one of those is pointless,

0:44:520:44:53

it will win that jackpot for you to share between your nominated

0:44:530:44:56

charities. What are your charities, John?

0:44:560:44:58

Mine is the MS Trust.

0:44:580:45:01

-Dave, how about you?

-Mine is Shelter.

0:45:010:45:03

-The homeless charity.

-There we are.

0:45:030:45:05

APPLAUSE

0:45:050:45:07

Two fantastic charities there.

0:45:070:45:09

Let's hope at least one of these answers wins that jackpot, for you

0:45:090:45:12

split between them. So your first answer was Chad.

0:45:120:45:14

In this case we were looking for any country that contains the letter D.

0:45:140:45:17

Only one of these answers has to be pointless, for you to win the jackpot,

0:45:170:45:20

let's see if Chad is the one.

0:45:200:45:22

If it is pointless, it wins you £2,750.

0:45:220:45:25

Let's see how many of our 100 people said it, Chad.

0:45:250:45:27

Well, it's right.

0:45:290:45:32

Now all it has to do is take us down to zero and it will win you that

0:45:320:45:36

jackpot. Down it goes, Chad.

0:45:360:45:38

Through the teens, into single figures, still going down..

0:45:380:45:41

..to two.

0:45:410:45:43

Not bad.

0:45:470:45:49

No, it's a fantastic answer. Sadly, in this round,

0:45:490:45:51

we're only interested in pointless answers.

0:45:510:45:53

Everything is now riding on your next two answers,

0:45:550:45:57

Lichfield being the first of those.

0:45:570:46:00

In this case, we were looking for any city in the UK containing a D.

0:46:000:46:04

Lichfield. It has to be right, then it has to be pointless.

0:46:040:46:06

If it's both of those things,

0:46:060:46:08

you will leave with £2,750 for your charities.

0:46:080:46:11

How many people said Lichfield? Is it a city?

0:46:110:46:13

It is a city!

0:46:170:46:18

HE LAUGHS

0:46:180:46:20

Lichfield is a city. Now, your first answer, Chad, took us down to two,

0:46:200:46:23

Lichfield now takes us down through the teens, into single figures,

0:46:230:46:27

down it goes, still going down, we are past two...

0:46:270:46:30

Yes!

0:46:300:46:31

CHEERING

0:46:310:46:33

Very well done.

0:46:350:46:36

-Fantastic.

-Beautiful.

-Well done.

0:46:360:46:40

Can't believe it, can't believe it.

0:46:400:46:42

Very well done.

0:46:420:46:43

Congratulations, Lichfield was a pointless answer,

0:46:430:46:46

which means you go home with that jackpot of £2,750 for your charities.

0:46:460:46:50

Superb.

0:46:500:46:51

CHEERING

0:46:510:46:53

That's why you're...

0:46:550:46:57

-Yes.

-Beautifully done, very well played, gents.

0:46:570:46:59

Plenty of places with cathedrals aren't cities, but Lichfield is a city.

0:46:590:47:03

Saint David's also a city, and would have scored you five points.

0:47:030:47:06

ALL GASP

0:47:060:47:08

Pretty big score, Saint David's. Lots of good pointless answers here, let's go through a few of them.

0:47:080:47:12

Start with countries. All of these would have won the jackpot.

0:47:120:47:15

Well done at home if you said...

0:47:150:47:16

You could have said all these, pointless as well -

0:47:190:47:21

Antigua and Barbuda, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cabo Verde, Cote d'Ivoire,

0:47:210:47:25

St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent and the Grenadines,

0:47:250:47:27

Solomon Islands, and United Arab Emirates, all of those were pointless answers.

0:47:270:47:31

We will move on now to the capitals.

0:47:310:47:33

Baghdad, which is Iraq.

0:47:330:47:35

Kathmandu, Nepal, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

0:47:350:47:38

Windhoek, Namibia.

0:47:380:47:40

You also could have had Ashgabat, Dili, Damascus, Islamabad, Mogadishu,

0:47:400:47:44

Vaduz and Yaounde, all of those pointless answers as well.

0:47:440:47:47

Well done if you said any of those. Now, only three pointless answers on

0:47:470:47:49

the UK cities, which is where you found your pointless answer,

0:47:490:47:52

so very impressive. Those were the other two.

0:47:520:47:54

Brighton and Hove, very well done if you got that.

0:47:540:47:58

And Salford, the other pointless answer.

0:47:580:48:00

Well, thanks once again to our winning players, John and Dave,

0:48:000:48:04

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

0:48:040:48:07

CHEERING

0:48:070:48:09

Join us next time, when we will be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.

0:48:110:48:15

Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

0:48:150:48:17

-Goodbye.

-And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
