0:00:13 > 0:00:16CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:25 > 0:00:29and welcome to this special comedy edition of Pointless Celebrities,
0:00:29 > 0:00:32the show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37APPLAUSE
0:00:39 > 0:00:41- Couple number one.- I'm Hugh Dennis.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44I'm in Mock The Week and Outnumbered and Not Going Out,
0:00:44 > 0:00:48- which you have also been in, of course.- I have.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50My name is Pauline McLynn.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54I'm an incredibly pointless person and I have a feeling that, today,
0:00:54 > 0:00:57I'm just going to, well, you know,
0:00:57 > 0:01:00be very strong but wrong on everything.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- Strong but wrong.- That's my plan. It's a game plan, yeah.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05APPLAUSE
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Couple number two.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11I'm Jean Fergusson, Marina from Last Of The Summer Wine,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- the blousy blonde. - LAUGHTER
0:01:14 > 0:01:19I'm Tine Malone from Shameless and Brookside, to name but a few,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22and it's probably pointless me being here.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- Couple number three. - Hello, I'm Adil Ray.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32You may know me as Citizen Khan, but I don't have the beard.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35It allows me to get through airports a lot easier.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37And I'm with my partner, Charlie.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- We've been together how long now, Charlie?- 20 years.
0:01:40 > 0:01:4220 years, that's right, yeah.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Yeah, I'm Charlie Higson, and I'm wearing his beard.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:01:49 > 0:01:52And, finally, couple number four.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55I'm Vicki Michelle, probably best known for 'Allo 'Allo!
0:01:55 > 0:01:58And I've just finished playing Marilyn Monroe,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00who escaped from America
0:02:00 > 0:02:04and has been living in Essex, as a 76-year-old grandmother.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06I'm Richard Gibson.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08I'm an actor and I appeared for years and years
0:02:08 > 0:02:11in 'Allo 'Allo(!) with Vicki Michelle.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15APPLAUSE Thanks very much, all of you.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18We'll find out more about you as the show goes along.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25A true marvel of minutiae in every department except his shoe size,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27it's my Pointless friend, Richard.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- APPLAUSE - Hiya. Hey, everybody. Good evening.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- Good evening to you. - And to you, Richard.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Now, this is going to be a very high-quality episode,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39I think, of Pointless Celebrities.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Look at the track record of the people who've been on before.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Vicki's been on before, got through to the head-to-head.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47And then, on podium three, we've got Adil,
0:02:47 > 0:02:50who not only got through to the head-to-head,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52he made it through to the final as well. He's played a jackpot.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55And he's with Charlie, who not only got through to the head-to-head
0:02:55 > 0:02:58and made it to the jackpot, he WON the jackpot as well.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00So, very best of luck, I would say, to podiums one and two,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02but I suspect it's going to be a good round, all round.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Proper old-school classic Pointless to start with.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Lovely. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10As usual, all of today's questions have been put to 100 people
0:03:10 > 0:03:11before the show.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Our celebrities here are looking for
0:03:13 > 0:03:15those all-important pointless answers,
0:03:15 > 0:03:17answers that none of our 100 people gave.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Find one of those and we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22As today's show is a celebrity special,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24all our celebrities are playing for a nominated charity,
0:03:24 > 0:03:28we shall start off with a jackpot of £2,500. There we are.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30APPLAUSE
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37APPLAUSE
0:03:39 > 0:03:42The only thing you have to remember is the pair with the highest score
0:03:42 > 0:03:45at the end of each round will be eliminated,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48so you just have to make sure you are not that high-scoring pair.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Best of luck. Our first category this evening is...
0:03:55 > 0:03:56It's a Words round.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Can you decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Words ending "OY". Richard.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21We're looking for any word which has its own entry in the British
0:04:21 > 0:04:24and World English section of oxforddictionaries.com
0:04:24 > 0:04:26that ends "OY".
0:04:26 > 0:04:28As always, no proper nouns, no hyphenated words,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- anything like that. Very best of luck.- Thank you, Richard.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- Now, Pauline, it's lovely to have you here.- I'm delighted to be here.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- Terrified but delighted. - You needn't be terrified.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- You need not be terrified. - Oh, I need.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- You have written ten novels, Pauline!- Yes, I know.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44It sounds like a big lie, doesn't it?
0:04:44 > 0:04:45How do you find the time to do that?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47I don't know, cos I am on number 11 at the moment
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- and it's going very badly indeed. - Really?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53But I think the horror of having been on this show today
0:04:53 > 0:04:58- will, in fact, start me.- Has that cleared the block?- Yeah, I feel...
0:04:58 > 0:05:01You'll now have the strength to go on, go on, go on...
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Oh, no! - LAUGHTER
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- Now, Pauline.- Yes.- Shall we find out if this word is a good'un?
0:05:07 > 0:05:11All right. I'm going to go for "saveloy".
0:05:11 > 0:05:13"Saveloy". "Saveloy".
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Let's see if it's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22That's a good answer, I think, Pauline. "Saveloy".
0:05:25 > 0:05:27It's 4!
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Come on!- An excellent start to the game. Thank you, Pauline.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- 4 for saveloy.- That's a great answer, Pauline, well done.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Very hard to be on that first podium
0:05:36 > 0:05:40with these Words rounds sometimes. Yeah, a red, cured pork sausage.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Thank you, Richard.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Jean, welcome to the show. It's lovely to have you here.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Last Of The Summer Wine...
0:05:47 > 0:05:50It must have been such a well-run machine.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Everything must have been fabulous. - It was.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Although, funnily enough, towards the end -
0:05:55 > 0:05:57because I was always the one in the low-cut blouse
0:05:57 > 0:05:59and the mini skirt or the shorts -
0:05:59 > 0:06:02when I got, shall we say, a little bit older,
0:06:02 > 0:06:06it wasn't quite the same, getting all dressed up in the morning
0:06:06 > 0:06:09in a pair of little mini shorts and a very low-cut blouse!
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- But we battled through. - You battled through.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18- Got on the bike and off we went. - Into the bath, down we came.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Now, Jean, "saveloy" has gone, but there must be others.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25I hope this is spelt right.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- "Hoipolloy".- "Hoipolloy".
0:06:28 > 0:06:31We hope that is spelt right. Let's see if it is.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34How many of our 100 people said "hoipolloy"?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Oh, Jean!
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I'm afraid that ISN'T spelt correctly.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44That scores you 100 points. I'm sorry.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47It may well not be the last 100-pointer in this round.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49I'm sorry, Jean. It's a lovely word.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51It's two words, "hoi polloi", and they both end "OI",
0:06:51 > 0:06:53I'm afraid, not "OY".
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Charlie, welcome back to Pointless. - Great for me to be here.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00You've worn many hats in your Pointless appearances.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05- You're wearing your comedy hat - invisible, but comedy hat.- Yes.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Cos you do lots now.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09You produce, you write, you've done wonderful adaptations...
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Yeah, I write books, I write TV, I write kids' books.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18- I'm actually thinking of taking on quite a big acting job.- Ah.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Because I'd quite like to do something
0:07:21 > 0:07:23where I don't have to take full responsibility.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24That's true. Writing is tough.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Charlie, what would you like to go for?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29I wish I had a really clever obscure word,
0:07:29 > 0:07:33particularly because I'm supposed to be a writer, but I don't, really.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- I'm simply going to say "ploy". - "Ploy".
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Let's see if that gets you far down the column.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42How many of our 100 people said "ploy"?
0:07:50 > 0:07:5340. Tactically perfect, Charlie. APPLAUSE
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- 40 for "ploy".- Yeah, a cunning plan or action - a "ploy".
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Also Brummie for "play", as well.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- LAUGHTER - No, it's not, mate!
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Shakespeare was a ploywright. - Absolutely.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- Richard, welcome to the show. - Thank you.- Great to have you here.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12The story always went that David Croft,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15when he cast you in 'Allo 'Allo(!), he'd seen you at a wedding,
0:08:15 > 0:08:19he'd overheard you telling gags at a wedding. Is that right?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Very tasteless German jokes.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25And I saw him conferring with his wife
0:08:25 > 0:08:27and I thought they were actually saying,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30"Can we get someone to throw this person out for the tasteless jokes?"
0:08:30 > 0:08:34And, actually, what they were saying was, "He can do a German accent."
0:08:34 > 0:08:37And that was it? So, he came up and said, "I've got a part for you."
0:08:37 > 0:08:40I can't even really do a German accent, that was the joke.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Fabulous. Richard, what would you like to go for?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45I'm going to take a punt on "sepoy".
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- Punt in what sense? - Well, I THINK it's a word.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54It's a kind of Indian soldier from the 19th century, would it be?
0:08:54 > 0:08:57"Sepoy". Sounds good to me.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Let's see how far down the column we get with "sepoy".
0:09:02 > 0:09:07It's right. Now, 4 is our lowest score so far. 40's our mid score.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09You pass that.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Ooh, you pass 4 as well, down to 2 for "sepoy".
0:09:13 > 0:09:15That's how you do it, Richard. Very well done indeed.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19That's a terrific answer. Very well played.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21And you're absolutely right with the definition.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24It's an Indian soldier, but when they were serving under British
0:09:24 > 0:09:27or colonial or European rulers, they were called sepoys.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Thanks. We're halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores.
0:09:30 > 0:09:322, Richard, the best score of that pass.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Well done. Richard and Vicki looking very strong at this point.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Then up to 4, ditto, Pauline and Hugh,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40on the back of Pauline's lovely low score at the beginning of the round.
0:09:40 > 0:09:4440 is where we find Charlie and Adil. Fairly safe, I think.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Then we've go up to 100, where we find Jean and Tina.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50So, Tina, a lovely low-scoring word ending "OY"
0:09:50 > 0:09:53might just be enough to keep you in the game.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56We'll have to see what happens in the next pass, but best of luck.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05OK, so, Vicki, welcome back.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- Thank you.- Great to have you here.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Now then, 'Allo 'Allo! You toured that, didn't you?
0:10:11 > 0:10:12There was a live version of it.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14We went all over the country.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17I think that's when we first realised how popular we were
0:10:17 > 0:10:21because it was 2,000-seaters and it would be packed. It was fabulous.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24We took it to Australia and New Zealand
0:10:24 > 0:10:26and they loved it there.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I think we sold to about 80 countries.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- So, that must have been a bit like a holiday, really.- Well, it was.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Extended holiday.- And I was working with people like Richard Gibson,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36who's like a naughty schoolboy and used to do jolly japes.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Not true!- So true!
0:10:38 > 0:10:41So we did have fun. It was a fantastic time, yeah.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Now, Vicki, you're on 2.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47If you can score 97 or less, you're definitely in the next round.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51Right, I think I'm going to go for "overjoy".
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Let's see if "overjoy" is right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57There is your red line. "Overjoy".
0:10:59 > 0:11:00It's right.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- 1.- I don't believe it.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- Yes!- The best score so far, Vicki,
0:11:11 > 0:11:13taking your total up to 3. Well done.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Very well played, Vicki. "Overjoy" - an excess of joy.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19There we are. Adil, welcome back.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Now, you and Charlie - Charlie gave you your first break, didn't he?
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Oh, don't start! Yes, he did, he did. He did, actually, yes.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Citizen Khan appeared in a show called Bellamy's People,
0:11:30 > 0:11:33which Charlie and Paul produced and directed
0:11:33 > 0:11:35and very kindly gave me my chance.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38And now you're doing an arena tour.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Are you going to have a huge screen above stage, I guess?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44We're just going to show two episodes of the show, yes.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- That's the idea.- You don't even need to be there, really.- Exactly.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Adil, you're on 40.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52The high-scorers still Tina and Jean on 100,
0:11:52 > 0:11:54so 59 or less gets you through.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I'm going to go with "coy".
0:11:58 > 0:12:01"Coy", says Adil. Here's your red line.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03If you get below that with "coy",
0:12:03 > 0:12:04you're in the next round.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07How many of our 100 people said "coy"?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Good enough. There we are.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- Not bad.- 87 is your total. APPLAUSE
0:12:18 > 0:12:22That's a couple of professional Pointless contestants. Look at that.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26In a lot of ways, that's sickening, what the two of you have done there.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28There we go.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Tina, welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.- Lovely to have you here.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Shameless, you mentioned earlier.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36But you also have your own theatre school, don't you?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Yes...
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Two of my students - one was Nicola in Girls Aloud
0:12:40 > 0:12:43and another girl, at 23 years of age,
0:12:43 > 0:12:45was nominated for a BAFTA.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Kerrie Hayes, who I taught from scratch.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- I just met her in a bar, so... - Fabulous.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- Well, good for you, Tina.- Thank you.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56I'm afraid you are the high-scorers, though,
0:12:56 > 0:13:00so we need a low score from you. What would you like to go for?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- I'm going to go for "boy".- "Boy".
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- B-O-Y.- The B-O-Y.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- I'm going to be safe.- OK, very good.
0:13:10 > 0:13:15Let's see how many of our 100 people said B-O-Y, "boy".
0:13:18 > 0:13:21It's right. Ooh, 86,
0:13:21 > 0:13:23taking your total up to 186 there.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Yeah, that is safe. It's better than 100,
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- at least that's something. - There we are.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31Hugh, welcome to the show.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- I can't believe you haven't been on Pointless before.- No.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37This fits you like a comfortable, bespoke coat.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40I thought you were going to say cardigan
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- and I was going to get very upset. - No! Hugh, you started off...
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Well, one of your early successes
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- was as one of the voices on Spitting Image.- Yeah.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Who were the characters you did?
0:13:52 > 0:13:57They're all dead or retired now. I did Norman Lamont...
0:13:57 > 0:13:59I got the Archbishop of Canterbury.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03John Cole, I did, but I took over that from...
0:14:03 > 0:14:06I think Chris Barrie had done that to start with.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09And I did Douglas Hurd in a voice which I completely copied
0:14:09 > 0:14:14from Harry Enfield, who'd done it for about six series before then.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- Now, Hugh, you're through, which is good news.- Yeah.- You are through.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Doesn't matter what you score here. What is your word going to be?
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Well, the words I'm trying to choose between are "soy",
0:14:25 > 0:14:28which I don't think many people would get, "deploy",
0:14:28 > 0:14:31which could be interesting, but I'm going to go for "tallboy".
0:14:31 > 0:14:34"Tallboy", says Hugh. No red line, as you're already through.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36How many people said, "tallboy"? Is it right?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40It's right.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- 2!- Oh, 2!
0:14:49 > 0:14:51APPLAUSE
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Not bad at all.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55I just didn't know so many
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Victorian furniture enthusiasts watched the programme.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- You'd be surprised.- What curmudgeon said "tallboy"?- 6 is your total.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03- Very well done.- Very good answer.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05An obscure piece of Victorian furniture.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07That's the definition.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09There's loads of good pointless answers here.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12A lot of the words with "boy" on the end are not hyphenated,
0:15:12 > 0:15:15so there's lots words here that people might have not risked.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Let's look at the pointless answers.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19You could have had "attaboy".
0:15:21 > 0:15:26"Charpoy" is, again, one of those permanent markers in Birmingham.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- You could have had... - LAUGHTER
0:15:29 > 0:15:32You could have had "corduroy" - well done if you said that.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Well done if you said any of those.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44We had "ploy" and, Hugh, you were thinking of "deploy",
0:15:44 > 0:15:46but "redeploy" would have been a pointless answer.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- "Teapoy" is a broken teapot. - LAUGHTER
0:15:49 > 0:15:54You also could have had ploughboy, busboy and homeboy.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Would have been a lovely one.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Let's take a look at the top-three scorers,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00the ones most of our 100 people said.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of our first round,
0:16:12 > 0:16:15the pair we have to send home, with our high score of 186,
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- Tina and Jean, I'm sorry, it's you.- OK.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Come and play again.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Sorry we're sending you away so soon, but thank you so much.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- Wonderful contestants. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28APPLAUSE
0:16:28 > 0:16:31But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35APPLAUSE
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Now, we're down to three pairs and at the end of this round,
0:16:38 > 0:16:43we'll have to say goodbye to another pair. Richard and Vicki, well done.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48- A low score of 3!- Fluke.- Thank you. - No fluke, no fluke there.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50And Pauline and Hugh, 6.
0:16:50 > 0:16:56And our two returning winners, 87, so there we are.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Our category for Round Two this evening is...
0:17:02 > 0:17:03It's Song Titles.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second
0:17:06 > 0:17:09and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16OK, the question concerns...
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- Songs with cities in their title. Richard.- On each board,
0:17:22 > 0:17:24we're going to show you the titles of six songs
0:17:24 > 0:17:27that were UK hit singles that have cities in their title,
0:17:27 > 0:17:29but we have missed out those cities.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Tell us what the cities are.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Six on each board, 12 in all to have a go at home.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- Good luck.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39We are looking for the missing cities from these song titles
0:17:39 > 0:17:41and here's our first board of six.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03I'll read those one last time.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Pauline.- Right.- Now, that's not too bad a selection.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23It's all right, but, you know,
0:18:23 > 0:18:26they all look like they might be high-scoring ones to me.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30So, I think I'll go for the Marc Cohn song, Walking In Memphis.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35Memphis, says Pauline. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Memphis.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39It's right.
0:18:42 > 0:18:4453. APPLAUSE
0:18:44 > 0:18:4653, but as you say,
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- they might all be high-scorers. - Such a well-known song, isn't it?
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- Only got to number 22 in the chart. - Really?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55And even Cher's cover version didn't get to top ten either.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- Wow, but it's never left the playlists, has it?- No, absolutely.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- Now, Adil.- Oh!
0:19:02 > 0:19:05I only know the obvious one, I'm afraid
0:19:05 > 0:19:08so I'll go with Tony Christie, Is This The Way To Amarillo?
0:19:08 > 0:19:13Amarillo, says Adil. Let's see how many of our 100 people got Amarillo.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Oh, 83 for Amarillo.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Well, it's better than 100.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24It's in the northern part of Texas, Amarillo,
0:19:24 > 0:19:28so depending on where you start, that's where you've got to get to.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Right. Thank you very much.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Now, Richard...
0:19:32 > 0:19:36OK, well, there's one that's very obvious,
0:19:36 > 0:19:41but there's another one - In Old Amsterdam.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45In Old Amsterdam. Let's find out if it's right
0:19:45 > 0:19:48and how many of our 100 people said Amsterdam.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54- Oh, no!- Oh, no!- Oh, no! - Sorry, Vicks.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Not Amsterdam.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58It's one of the other old places.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00I'm afraid that scores you 100 points,
0:20:00 > 0:20:03but you're not that far ahead of your nearest rivals.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Yeah, three very big scores in that round.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Slightly less redolent. This one is slightly less poetic.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- It's In Old Lisbon.- Oh, no.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14And it's a pointless answer, as you might imagine.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Now, let's fill in the rest of these. Long-haired Lover From Liverpool.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20That's a big scorer.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23From Paris... They're a Danish pop duo.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25From Paris To Berlin by Infernal.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31- And Night Boat...? - Cairo.- To Cairo by Madness.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Thank you, Richard. We're halfway through the round.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Let's look at the scores. 53, the best score of the pass.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Pauline and Hugh sitting pretty there.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43And then 83 is where we find Adil and Charlie.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47And then up to 100, where we find Richard and Vicki.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48So, not that far ahead.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Vicki, a good low score from you on the next board will seal your place
0:20:51 > 0:20:54in the head-to-head, so best of luck with that.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:20:59 > 0:21:03Let's put six more song titles up on the board with missing cities.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05And here they come.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26I shall read all of those again.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Vicki.- Oh!- I know.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- I know.- Er...
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Well, I think, the only one I know
0:21:49 > 0:21:52is Loco In Acapulco.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Loco In Acapulco, says Vicki. No red line for you,
0:21:55 > 0:21:57as you're the high-scorers. Let's see if that's right
0:21:57 > 0:22:00and how far down the column you get with Acapulco.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05- It's right.- Yes! Fabulous.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07It's right. 59.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11APPLAUSE 159 is your total.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14You might have kept yourself in the game, Vicki.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Written by Lamont Dozier and Phil Collins, that song.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20There you go. Thank you, Richard. Charlie.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Now, Charlie, you need
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- to score 75 or less.- Yeah.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26There's only one on there that I know.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30I'm going to have to say that one. Um... It's a rubbish one,
0:22:30 > 0:22:32but I'm going to go for Viva Las Vegas.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Viva Las Vegas, says Charlie.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Here is your red line. Quite high up.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Get below that, you are through to the next round.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40How many people said Las Vegas?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- Oh!- Look at that! 83.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Well, that's nice. APPLAUSE
0:22:48 > 0:22:50You have equalled Adil's score,
0:22:50 > 0:22:53so you are jointly shouldering the responsibility
0:22:53 > 0:22:57for your early exit there. 166 is your total.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Viva Las Vegas, another song that's not a top-ten hit.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Been a top-20 hit twice, but not a top ten.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Thanks very much, Richard. Hugh,
0:23:05 > 0:23:08you're through to the next round. It doesn't matter what you score.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Hugh, talk us through this board
0:23:10 > 0:23:12and fill in all the blanks.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15A lot of them are sort of bluffs, I think.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Cos you want to go London Calling and Hotel California,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22but California is not a city.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24So, I'm going to go for London
0:23:24 > 0:23:29because I think it's wrong but it sort of doesn't matter.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Thank you.- There we are.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35London Calling by Falco. No red line, you're already through.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Let's see how many people said London.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- Well, I knew it was wrong. - There you are.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Had it confirmed, so that's nice, you were right, as well as wrong.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 153,
0:23:48 > 0:23:50- but you are through anyway. - Unlucky, Hugh.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Funnily, this WAS a top ten hit for Falco. It was Vienna Calling.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- I was going to say that.- Were you? You'd have been right.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Vienna Calling. He was most famous for Rock Me Amadeus.
0:23:59 > 0:24:0210 points for that. The George Ezra song?
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- Budapest.- Of course.- Budapest.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09That would have scored you 22. Stranger In...
0:24:09 > 0:24:11- Moscow.- In Moscow, yeah.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Would have scored 16.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15And of course there's a city called California,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18so Hotel California is the answer there. 82 points.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21There we are. We're at the end of our second round.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24The pair we're sending home... This wasn't in the script at all.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Charlie and Adil,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28I'm afraid it's you we have to say goodbye to
0:24:28 > 0:24:30- but please come back again, is all I can say.- Will do.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Will do, with different partners, probably.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35I dunno. But it's been brilliant having you on.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Thanks so much for playing. Charlie and Adil.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40APPLAUSE
0:24:40 > 0:24:43But for Hugh and Pauline, Richard and Vicki,
0:24:43 > 0:24:45it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47APPLAUSE
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Congratulations, Pauline, Hugh, Richard and Vicki.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55You are now one step closer to the final and a chance
0:24:55 > 0:24:59to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,500.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02APPLAUSE
0:25:02 > 0:25:06So, this is the point where we decide who goes through to the final
0:25:06 > 0:25:09to play for that jackpot and we do it by making you go head-to-head.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12But you can now start playing as teams and confer.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14The first pair to win two questions
0:25:14 > 0:25:17will be playing for that jackpot, so best of luck to both pairs.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22APPLAUSE
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:25:31 > 0:25:32Film Royalty, Richard.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36We're going to show you five pictures of fictional royalty.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39You need to tell us the name of the film that each of these comes from.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Thanks very much indeed.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Let's reveal our five stills and here they come.
0:26:08 > 0:26:13There we are. Five pictures of fictitious royal people.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Now, Pauline and Hugh, you've been our low-scorers
0:26:15 > 0:26:18throughout the show so far, so you will go first. Feel free to confer.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22- We're not going to be low-scorers now.- No, I don't think.- Believe me.
0:26:22 > 0:26:27We think the Eddie Murphy movie is Coming To America.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Coming To America for C, say Pauline and Hugh.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Now then, Richard and Vicki, that board's all yours.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Do you want to talk us through all of the others?
0:26:35 > 0:26:40- We think D is...- We think D might be Frozen.- B is Shrek.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42And E could be Anastasia.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47- I think it's Frozen for D, do you agree with me, Vicki?- Yes.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- Is that what you'd like to go for? - Yes.- OK, D, Frozen.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53So, we have C, Coming To America and D, Frozen.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Pauline and Hugh said Coming To America.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Let's see if that's right for Eddie Murphy.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01It is right.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Well done. Well done. Oh, look at this.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07It is right, look at that. 22. Very well done indeed.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Coming To America.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11APPLAUSE
0:27:11 > 0:27:15Now, Richard and Vicki, taking a bit of a punt, they think,
0:27:15 > 0:27:17on D and saying Frozen.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Let's see if Frozen is right and how many of our 100 people said Frozen.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27- Yep.- Oh!- It is unequivocally Frozen.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29APPLAUSE
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Very well done indeed, Pauline and Hugh.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36A, that everyone was having trouble with.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38One of the best comedy films of all time.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- That is Prince Humperdinck from... - The Princess Bride.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44The Princess Bride, yeah. Wonderful film, if you haven't seen it.
0:27:44 > 0:27:463 points for that.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48B is, of course, Princess Fiona from Shrek.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Shrek the answer there. Would have scored 69.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54And E is Audrey Hepburn, of course,
0:27:54 > 0:27:56but in a very early role. She won an Oscar for it,
0:27:56 > 0:27:58- as Princess Ann in Roman Holiday.- Ah.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Would have scored you 7 points.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03So, Princess Bride is the best answer on that board.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Thanks very much indeed, Richard. OK, here comes your second question.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Richard and Vicki, you have to win this one to stay in the game
0:28:09 > 0:28:11but you get to answer it first. Best of luck.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Our second question concerns...
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Only Fools And Horses, Richard.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Five clues to facts about the sitcom Only Fools And Horses.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Whoever gives us the most obscure answer wins the point.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Now, of course, I COULD read out the questions for you
0:28:27 > 0:28:29but why would we do that when we've got
0:28:29 > 0:28:32John Challis and Sue Holderness here to read them for you?
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Hi, there, Alexander and Richard.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Yes, hello, Alexander and Richard.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Borehamwood's answer to Laurel and Hardy.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44LAUGHTER
0:28:44 > 0:28:49Here are five questions about Only Fools And Horses.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53Number one. Who is the character to whom Del Boy says,
0:28:53 > 0:28:58"Play it nice and cool, son", before falling through the bar?
0:28:58 > 0:29:00That's easy, that one, isn't it?
0:29:00 > 0:29:04Who are the superheroes Del and Rodney are dressed as
0:29:04 > 0:29:07when they attend a wake?
0:29:07 > 0:29:11- Ooh, oh, yes. - LAUGHTER
0:29:11 > 0:29:15What is the name of the tower block in which Del lived?
0:29:15 > 0:29:17- Everybody knows that. - I think they've knocked it down.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- They should have done. - LAUGHTER
0:29:20 > 0:29:23What is the name that Trigger thinks Rodney is called
0:29:23 > 0:29:26in the 1983 episode Homesick?
0:29:26 > 0:29:31What is the name of Rodney's dodgy friend, played by Patrick Murray?
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- TOGETHER:- Good luck!
0:29:35 > 0:29:38BOYCIE LAUGHS
0:29:38 > 0:29:40APPLAUSE
0:29:43 > 0:29:45I'm going to read those through one last time,
0:29:45 > 0:29:47just to refresh your memory.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Richard and Vicki, we come to you.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Well, I think I know the second one
0:30:04 > 0:30:06and I think the comic book heroes were...
0:30:06 > 0:30:10They attended a wake as Batman and Robin.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Batman and Robin, say Richard and Vicki. Batman and Robin.
0:30:13 > 0:30:18Now, Hugh and Pauline, can you talk us through the rest of that board?
0:30:18 > 0:30:21We think it is Rodney who he talks to.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24All I can remember is falling through the bar
0:30:24 > 0:30:27- cos it's such a funny moment. - You're going to say Rodney.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29So we have Batman and Robin and we have Rodney.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Richard and Vicki went for Batman and Robin.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said
0:30:33 > 0:30:37those were the comic book heroes they were dressed as.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41It's right.
0:30:41 > 0:30:4377.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45APPLAUSE
0:30:45 > 0:30:49Pauline and Hugh reckon it was Rodney to whom Del Boy said,
0:30:49 > 0:30:51"Play it cool, son", before falling through the bar.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59- Ooh, bad luck. - It was Trigger, wasn't it?
0:30:59 > 0:31:01- An incorrect answer.- Bet you.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03But well done, Richard and Vicki.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06After two questions, you're back in the game. It's 1-1.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08The answer to the first one, not Rodney.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11It WAS Trigger and if you'd said that, you'd be through to the final,
0:31:11 > 0:31:13because it would have scored you 47 points.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16The name of the tower block? Do you know that?
0:31:16 > 0:31:19- Nelson Mandela House. - Nelson Mandela House.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24- The name by which Trigger usually calls Rodney?- Dave.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26It's Dave, absolutely right.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28And the name of Rodney's dodgy friend?
0:31:28 > 0:31:31This is the best answer on the board and it's Mickey Pearce.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35- Well done if you said that at home. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Here comes your third question. Whoever wins this,
0:31:38 > 0:31:40goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Best of luck to both pairs.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Our third question this evening is all about...
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Slang terms for police, Richard.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51We're going to show you five slang terms for police,
0:31:51 > 0:31:53but with alternate letters missing.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57Fill in those gaps and give us the most obscure answer. Best of luck.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00OK, let's reveal our five slang terms for police, with missing bits.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02And here they are.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Hugh and Pauline will go first.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26We think the fourth one...
0:32:26 > 0:32:28- Yep.- ..is peelers.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Peelers, say Pauline and Hugh. Peelers.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34- Now, Richard and Vicki, do you want to fill in all the other ones?- Yeah.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Boys in blue.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Old Bill.
0:32:39 > 0:32:40Flatfoots.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42And bobbies.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44- I think flatfoots, do you? - Flatfoots.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47- Flatfoots, you're going to go for. HUGH:- And it's goodnight from us!
0:32:47 > 0:32:49LAUGHTER
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Now, Pauline and Hugh said peelers.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56Let's see how many of our 100 people said peelers.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59It's right.
0:33:01 > 0:33:0446. Not bad at all. 46 for peelers.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06APPLAUSE
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Richard and Vicki, meanwhile, have gone for flatfoots.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people got that.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17- It could be wrong.- It's right.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Come on, come on.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21And it beats 46. Look at that. There it is.
0:33:21 > 0:33:2324 for flatfoots. APPLAUSE
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Very well done, Richard and Vicki.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28It means, after three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- So it's best of five, right? - LAUGHTER
0:33:31 > 0:33:34Well played. Those are the best two answers on the board,
0:33:34 > 0:33:35so well played, both teams.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39Peelers named after Sir Robert Peel, as was the bottom answer, bobbies.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Both named after Robert Peel. That's a bigger score though.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Would have scored 80.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48Boys in blue at the top there would have scored 69.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52And Old Bill would have scored you 76.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54There we are. Thank you, Richard.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:33:56 > 0:33:58I'm afraid, is Pauline and Hugh.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00You'll just have to come back and play again.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03- It's been wonderful having you both here.- Thank you.
0:34:03 > 0:34:04Thank you so much. Pauline and Hugh.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06APPLAUSE
0:34:06 > 0:34:09But for Richard and Vicki, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13APPLAUSE
0:34:13 > 0:34:17Congratulations, Richard and Vicki. You fought off all the competition
0:34:17 > 0:34:20and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot for your charities
0:34:28 > 0:34:34and, at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,500.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36APPLAUSE
0:34:36 > 0:34:40Well done! We put you through your paces. We had Words ending "OY",
0:34:40 > 0:34:45then we had missing cities from song titles, then we had film royalty,
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- Only Fools And Horses...- Police.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50..and then finished off with the police. And here you are.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54Now, you get to choose a category from four
0:34:54 > 0:34:57that we'll put up on the board. Today's choices read like this.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- We can only have one, though, yes? - You can only have one.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12- Are you a boff at space? - A little bit.- OK, Space.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14- I think that was probably the right...- No responsibility there(!)
0:35:14 > 0:35:17- I think that was the right answer. - I think Richard's telling you
0:35:17 > 0:35:20- he needs space, Vicki.- Yeah, yeah. - LAUGHTER
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Three questions here. Hopefully, one of these suits you.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Three very different questions and very different areas.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29We are looking for... any UK top-40 single
0:35:29 > 0:35:33with the word "space" in the title, according to officialcharts.com.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35That's up to January, 2016.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37We're looking for anyone who's been a crew member
0:35:37 > 0:35:39of the International Space Station,
0:35:39 > 0:35:42anyone who's been on the 46 missions
0:35:42 > 0:35:45up to the International Space Station. That ends December, 2015.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49Or any actors in the original Star Trek TV show
0:35:49 > 0:35:50that ran from 1966 to 1969.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Anyone who's appeared in three or more episodes
0:35:53 > 0:35:56of the original Star Trek TV show. So...
0:36:01 > 0:36:04- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06As always, you've got up to one minute
0:36:06 > 0:36:09to come up with three answers and all you need to win that jackpot
0:36:09 > 0:36:12for your charities is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15- Are you ready?- Well...yes.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. Your time starts now.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22- Space Oddity.- Odyssey. - You can speak up.
0:36:22 > 0:36:23Um...
0:36:27 > 0:36:30- Give Me Space... No.- Crew of the International Space Station.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32- Do you know any of those?- No!
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Everybody will know the Star Trek ones.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38What about one of the old ones that landed on the moon?
0:36:38 > 0:36:41That's not the International Space Station, though, is it?
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Oh, OK. Actors in the original Star Trek. You've got Nimoy...
0:36:44 > 0:36:48- William Shatner.- Shatner. They're obvious.- Who played Scotty?
0:36:48 > 0:36:52Can't remember. Who played the Chinese one?
0:36:52 > 0:36:54That was a different series. That was Uhura.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57No, no, that was a different series, that was the new one.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00You're talking about the original TV show.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02And they'll ALL know those, won't they?
0:37:02 > 0:37:06What about top 40 singles with "space" in the title? Oooh.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09- Space Oddity.- Ten seconds left. - Isn't it Odyssey?
0:37:09 > 0:37:11- Oddity, David Bowie.- Is it?- Yeah.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- But there's Space Odyssey. - That's a film.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17Go on, we've got two seconds. One second.
0:37:17 > 0:37:23- OK, I now need to have your three answers.- Oh!
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- OK, one of them is Space Oddity. - Space Oddity, OK.
0:37:27 > 0:37:28And that's in the category of...
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- I'm trying to think of another space one.- Top-40 hit singles.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Thank you very much. So, Space Oddity.
0:37:33 > 0:37:38- Actors in Star Trek. So, we've gone Leonard...- Limoy... Leonard Nimoy.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40- Nimoy.- Leonard Nimoy.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42- And William Shatner. - And you'll go for William Shatner.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44- But they're all obvious. - Worst answer ever given
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- in the history of this programme. - I know.- I know, but it is tough.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Anyway, of those three answers, which is your best shot
0:37:50 > 0:37:52at a pointless answer? VICKI LAUGHS
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- Do you want to put Space Oddity last?- Yes.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- Least likely to be pointless? - Toss-up between the two.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01- Shall we put Shatner first?- OK. - I'm just guessing.- Yeah.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04You know it doesn't make any difference, that's why!
0:38:04 > 0:38:06It makes little or no difference, but there we are.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10Let's pop those answers on the board in that order and here they are.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12We have got...
0:38:13 > 0:38:19- Yes!- We've just remembered a space song.- Yes!- Oh...- Can we change it?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21- No!- Aretha Franklin.- Oh, go on.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- What was the song? TOGETHER:- Mr Spaceman.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- Well, let's find out at the end if that would have been pointless.- Oh!
0:38:27 > 0:38:31I'm afraid... I'm not afraid. We've got three lovely answers up there.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35- I have a feeling...- That they're not pointless.- ..they're all correct.
0:38:35 > 0:38:40- Yes.- Which charities are you playing for? Richard first.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44I'm going for EIA, which is the Environmental Investigation Agency,
0:38:44 > 0:38:51who are detectives and they're sort of environmental detectives
0:38:51 > 0:38:53who go round investigating things like...
0:38:53 > 0:38:56They started the thing about elephants and ivory.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00There we are. Very good indeed. Vicki, how about you? What charity?
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Wetnose charity, which supports a lot of animal charities
0:39:03 > 0:39:06and the chap that was in charge recently passed away
0:39:06 > 0:39:10and his wife has carried on. She was not going to carry on but she has
0:39:10 > 0:39:12and they've helped so many animals, right across the board -
0:39:12 > 0:39:16- dogs, horses, everything.- Very good indeed. Two good charities there.
0:39:16 > 0:39:17APPLAUSE
0:39:17 > 0:39:22Let's hope that a collective amnesia descended on our 100 people.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24- Can I just ask one thing?- Yes.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Could you take that look of pity off your face?
0:39:26 > 0:39:29- Please. And you. - LAUGHTER
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Your first answer was William Shatner. In this case,
0:39:31 > 0:39:34we were looking for cast members of the original Star Trek TV show.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37This has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot,
0:39:37 > 0:39:41so for £2,500, let's see how many people said William Shatner.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49It's right. Down it goes, through the 60s,
0:39:49 > 0:39:51into the 50s. Into the 40s.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53- 46! Look at that!- Ooh!
0:39:53 > 0:39:55- Fabulous!- There you go. - That was good.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58- APPLAUSE - Not as bad as we thought.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Not bad at all. Unfortunately, not pointless,
0:40:00 > 0:40:03which means you have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05- Halfway pointless. - Better than halfway.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Your next answer was Leonard Nimoy.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Once again, we were looking for cast members
0:40:09 > 0:40:11of the original Star Trek TV show.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14For £2,500, let's see how many people said Leonard Nimoy.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21Down it comes. William Shatner took us down to 46.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Leonard Nimoy takes us down to...
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Ooh, 48.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27APPLAUSE
0:40:27 > 0:40:31- I got THAT in the wrong order, didn't I?- Only by 2!
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Only one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Everything is now riding on Space Oddity.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37In this case, we were looking for top-40 singles
0:40:37 > 0:40:39with the word "space" in the title.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41It has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot
0:40:41 > 0:40:44so, for £2,500, how many people said Space Oddity?
0:40:47 > 0:40:50There you are. It's right. William Shatner scored 46,
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Leonard Nimoy, 48.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54Space Oddity now goes down,
0:40:54 > 0:40:56passing both of those, eclipsing them.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Down it goes to 28. There we are. Not bad.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01APPLAUSE
0:41:01 > 0:41:06Not bad, I have to say. You did very well. You did a bold, brave thing.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Space is a tough category. It's a big subject, obviously.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11There's lots of it.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14And it turned to not really be the subject you were expecting,
0:41:14 > 0:41:17but there we are. I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20However, as it is a celebrity special, we're going to donate £500
0:41:20 > 0:41:23to each celebrity pair for their respective charities.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26We have loved having you on. You've been absolutely brilliant.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28And you get to take home a Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31- We've had a great time.- Thank you! - Wonderful. Richard and Vicki.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34- APPLAUSE - Thank you, thank you.- Thank you.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Yeah, a really high quality of contestant on today's show
0:41:40 > 0:41:42and you beat allcomers, so well done.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Sometimes the jackpot round trips you up.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Unfortunately, that's what happened today.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49I'll take you through pointless answers from all the categories.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Let's take a look. We'll start with top-40 singles
0:41:51 > 0:41:53with "space" in the title.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56A Spaceman Came Travelling - Chris de Burgh.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Of course, Disco Babes From Outer Space was a pointless answer!
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Course it was! The Space Jungle by Adamski.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Wide Open Space by Mansun.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Advertising Space, Robbie Williams.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08A Flock Of Seagulls, Space Age Love Song.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10The Queen Of Outer Space by Wedding Present.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Lots of pointless answers out there.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14The crew of the International Space Station.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Awful lot of pointless answers here.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Gennady Padalka, who's spent more days in space
0:42:20 > 0:42:22than any other human in history.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Michael Foale - depending on how you define Britishness,
