Thank you very much indeed.

0:00:220:00:23

Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and a warm welcome

0:00:230:00:26

to this special noughties edition of Pointless Celebrities,

0:00:260:00:29

the show where the aim of the game is to find the most obscure answer

0:00:290:00:32

possible. Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities.

0:00:320:00:34

And couple number one.

0:00:380:00:40

Hello, I'm Brian Belo, and I won Big Brother in 2007.

0:00:400:00:44

Hi, I'm Katy Brand, and I'm a writer and comedian.

0:00:440:00:47

Couple number two.

0:00:510:00:53

Hello, I'm Susie Amy.

0:00:530:00:54

I'm an actress, and you might remember me from Footballers' Wives.

0:00:540:00:58

Hi, I'm Dave Spinx,

0:00:590:01:00

and some of you might remember me from EastEnders.

0:01:000:01:03

I played Keith Miller.

0:01:030:01:04

Couple number three.

0:01:080:01:10

Hi, I'm Audley Harrison, the 2000 Olympic champion,

0:01:100:01:13

and recently retired professional heavyweight boxer.

0:01:130:01:16

Hi, I'm Gail Emms.

0:01:160:01:17

I won an Olympic Silver medal in the 2004 Athens Olympics.

0:01:170:01:21

And finally, couple number four.

0:01:240:01:26

Hi, I'm Romeo. I'm from a group called So Solid Crew.

0:01:260:01:29

Hi, I'm Lisa Maffia - and that is my real name -

0:01:290:01:32

and I'm the First Lady of So Solid Crew.

0:01:320:01:35

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

0:01:370:01:40

It's lovely to have you here. We'll have a chance to chat to

0:01:400:01:42

each of you throughout the show as it goes along.

0:01:420:01:44

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

0:01:440:01:46

A man who loves nothing more than to sit back and think of noughties.

0:01:460:01:50

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

0:01:500:01:52

Hiya. Hi, everybody.

0:01:520:01:54

APPLAUSE

0:01:540:01:56

-Good evening to you.

-Good evening.

0:01:560:01:57

I am really looking forward to this one.

0:01:570:01:59

We just had a little walk up and down the line and met everybody.

0:01:590:02:02

It is going to be intensely competitive.

0:02:020:02:05

-Isn't it?

-I would say.

-Yeah.

0:02:050:02:06

Up on podium four, Lisa and Romeo, who I worked with before.

0:02:060:02:09

I used to make a show called The Games on Channel 4, and they

0:02:090:02:11

were both on it and both incredibly competitive, so they are not going

0:02:110:02:15

to... They are not going to leave here lightly, I think.

0:02:150:02:17

And then, podium three, two Olympic medallists on podium three.

0:02:170:02:21

Gail and Audley. That's quite impressive, isn't it?

0:02:210:02:23

-Yeah, yeah.

-But more impressive than that,

0:02:230:02:25

more impressive than an Olympic Gold, Audley,

0:02:250:02:28

is the fact that David on podium two is a Pointless champion.

0:02:280:02:31

Not just a Pointless trophy holder -

0:02:310:02:35

he's actually won the jackpot, as well.

0:02:350:02:37

-MURMURS

-I know, everybody.

0:02:370:02:39

That is rare. In the celebrity world, to be a trophean

0:02:390:02:41

-is one thing.

-To actually win the jackpot...

0:02:410:02:44

-No-one has done it twice, David.

-Oh, right.

0:02:440:02:46

No-one has ever won the jackpot twice, and podium one, Brian,

0:02:460:02:49

I'm not sure winning Big Brother is going to help you an enormous amount

0:02:490:02:52

-in this, but, you know, you never know.

-You never know.

-You never know

0:02:520:02:55

in this company. It's going to be an absolute cracker.

0:02:550:02:57

Round One is fun. Round One, people are going to worry when we say

0:02:570:03:00

what it is, but I think you'll be all right. And Round Two is one of

0:03:000:03:02

-those ones that everyone at home is always asking for.

-Ah, brilliant.

0:03:020:03:06

-Gardening.

-Gardening!

0:03:060:03:08

-18th-century Etruscan pottery, Round Two.

-Oh!

0:03:080:03:11

Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, as usual, all of

0:03:110:03:14

today's questions have been put to 100 people before the show.

0:03:140:03:17

Our contestants here are on a hunt for one of those all-important

0:03:170:03:20

pointless answers. This is an answer that none of our 100 people gave.

0:03:200:03:23

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

0:03:230:03:25

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

0:03:250:03:27

each of our celebrities here is playing for a nominated charity.

0:03:270:03:31

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

0:03:310:03:34

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

0:03:360:03:39

APPLAUSE

0:03:390:03:42

The only thing you have to remember - the only thing - is this -

0:03:440:03:47

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

0:03:470:03:50

will be eliminated. The highest score, so keep the scores

0:03:500:03:53

as low as you dare. Very best of luck.

0:03:530:03:56

Our first category this evening is...

0:03:560:03:57

Remember what the man said - we mustn't worry. Popular books.

0:04:010:04:04

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

0:04:040:04:06

who's going to go second?

0:04:060:04:07

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

0:04:070:04:09

OK, and the question concerns...

0:04:130:04:15

The top 100 books that defined the noughties. Richard.

0:04:190:04:22

Yeah, on each board, we're going to show you the titles of seven books

0:04:220:04:26

that were on the list The 100 Books That Defined The Noughties,

0:04:260:04:28

according to The Daily Telegraph. We're also going to give you

0:04:280:04:31

the initials of the authors of those books.

0:04:310:04:33

You need to tell us who the authors are, please.

0:04:330:04:35

There's going to be seven on the first board,

0:04:350:04:36

seven on the second board, 14 in all to have a go at at home.

0:04:360:04:39

Very best of luck.

0:04:390:04:40

OK, so let's reveal our first board of clues, and here they come.

0:04:400:04:43

We have got...

0:04:440:04:46

-Oh, Katy, it's lovely to have you here.

-Thank you.

0:05:170:05:19

-Welcome to Pointless.

-Thank you very much.

0:05:190:05:21

-Well, I mean, you've done all sorts of things.

-Yes.

0:05:210:05:23

I mean, lots of comedy, you've done stand-up, you've done monologues,

0:05:230:05:26

-one-woman shows.

-Mm-hm.

-You've done serious things, as well.

0:05:260:05:28

You worked behind the camera to start with,

0:05:280:05:30

started in TV production.

0:05:300:05:32

I did, and in fact, I was a question checker for a quiz show

0:05:320:05:35

-a long time ago.

-Get out of town!

0:05:350:05:36

Yes. And my worst moment was, I had not verified a question

0:05:360:05:39

properly and the person in the studio gave the answer and it

0:05:390:05:43

was marked as a correct answer and I had to run down the studio,

0:05:430:05:46

and they thought they'd won thousands of pounds and say,

0:05:460:05:49

"I've got that wrong, that isn't...

0:05:490:05:50

-"That isn't the right answer."

-Yes. Oh, no!

0:05:500:05:53

I wasn't sacked, which is quite astonishing.

0:05:530:05:56

Now, Katy, tell me about Brenda Monk.

0:05:560:05:58

Yes. Brenda Monk is a novel...

0:05:580:06:00

Brenda Monk Is Funny is a novel I wrote a couple of years ago about

0:06:000:06:03

a woman who becomes a stand-up comedian,

0:06:030:06:05

which I really enjoyed writing, and I'm working on the sequel now,

0:06:050:06:08

called Brenda Monk Is Famous, where she is now a top-selling comedian,

0:06:080:06:13

and is sort of navigating all that fame has brought.

0:06:130:06:16

Quite exciting. Nice to be able to bring to bear all that stuff

0:06:160:06:19

-you've been learning over the years.

-Yeah. Exactly, yeah.

0:06:190:06:21

Yeah, very good. Now, Katy, that's not too scary,

0:06:210:06:25

-I wouldn't have thought.

-Yeah, some of them are...

0:06:250:06:28

I think, are fairly obvious, and popular.

0:06:280:06:31

I think I will go with the more obscure one that I think I know.

0:06:310:06:35

I'm going to go with The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo,

0:06:350:06:39

and I think that's Stieg Larsson.

0:06:390:06:41

Stieg Larsson, says Katy. Let's see if that's right.

0:06:410:06:43

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

0:06:430:06:45

It's right.

0:06:480:06:49

-26.

-All right.

0:06:530:06:55

26. Very well done. APPLAUSE

0:06:550:06:58

-A good start to the show.

-Well played, Katy. Tha...

0:06:580:07:00

Oh, hold on, I'm just hearing from a worried researcher, it's wrong.

0:07:000:07:03

I'm so sorry. That's a shame. That's a shame.

0:07:030:07:07

Thanks very much, Richard. Susie, welcome to Pointless.

0:07:070:07:10

Thank you very much.

0:07:100:07:12

Good to have you here. Partnered with a previous champion.

0:07:120:07:15

I know! I didn't know that until I got here.

0:07:150:07:17

-Yeah.

-I obviously knew I was on with Dave,

0:07:170:07:19

but I didn't know he was a previous champion,

0:07:190:07:21

so I'm just a bit worried that I could let him down today.

0:07:210:07:24

You won't. You simply won't. Now Susie, Chardonnay.

0:07:240:07:28

Let's just talk about Chardonnay for a moment or two.

0:07:280:07:30

Did you do any research for that?

0:07:300:07:32

Did you go and meet some actual footballers?

0:07:320:07:34

I didn't meet any actual footballers.

0:07:340:07:36

I don't think there was a whole lot of research that needed to be done

0:07:360:07:39

-for the role.

-No.

0:07:390:07:41

It was so much fun. It was such a long time ago now.

0:07:410:07:44

Being... It was EARLY 2000s. Really early. I think we started in 2001.

0:07:440:07:49

So a really, really long time ago.

0:07:490:07:50

You don't realise... Time just flies by.

0:07:500:07:53

Yeah! And I suppose... Did that put you off dating footballers?

0:07:530:07:56

-I've never dated a footballer, no.

-There we are.

0:07:560:07:58

And lots of people now, because of all the housewives shows,

0:07:580:08:01

when people sort of ask, I say,

0:08:010:08:03

"I once did a show called Footballers' Wives,"

0:08:030:08:05

people assume that it was reality. And they're like,

0:08:050:08:07

"Did you divorce? Who were you married to?"

0:08:070:08:10

You know, there's a bit of confusion out there.

0:08:100:08:12

There are so many reality shows down the wives theme.

0:08:120:08:15

Yeah. Absolutely. Now, Susie, popular books.

0:08:150:08:19

Well, sadly, the one that I thought was a bit more obscure

0:08:190:08:21

has been taken.

0:08:210:08:23

I'm going to have to go with, of the obvious ones that I know, I think

0:08:230:08:27

My Booky Wook is going to be hopefully not too near the 100,

0:08:270:08:32

-which is Russell Brand.

-Russell Brand, says Susie.

0:08:320:08:35

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

0:08:350:08:38

It's right.

0:08:410:08:42

41. Not too bad. APPLAUSE

0:08:450:08:48

Not bad at all. 41 for Russell Brand.

0:08:480:08:50

Well played, Susie. Russell Brand.

0:08:500:08:51

He once auditioned for the boyband 5ive.

0:08:510:08:54

XANDER GASPS I did not know that!

0:08:540:08:56

-Yeah, there you go.

-Is that in My Booky Wook?

0:08:560:08:58

Oh, I don't know if it's in his Booky Wook.

0:08:580:08:59

I haven't read his Booky Wook. Isn't that terrible?

0:08:590:09:02

-My mother-in-law read and loved it.

-Did she?

0:09:020:09:04

She thought it was one of the funniest things ever. Yeah!

0:09:040:09:06

-He's funny. He's a funny guy.

-A very funny man.

-A very bright man.

0:09:060:09:09

-Audley, welcome to Pointless.

-Welcome.

-Good to have you here.

0:09:090:09:12

-Thank you.

-So tell me, come on - Sydney 2000, you get gold.

0:09:120:09:17

You're the toughest man in the world.

0:09:170:09:19

-I mean, what happens after that?

-Erm...

0:09:190:09:21

..you go and meet ma'am and get the MBE, which is very nice.

0:09:220:09:26

And then you turn professional,

0:09:260:09:27

and try to climb that letter, which is a whole new world.

0:09:270:09:31

-Yeah.

-So, like I said, I recently retired last year.

0:09:310:09:33

15 years, had a long run.

0:09:330:09:35

Didn't get right to the top of the mountain, but almost.

0:09:350:09:38

-Almost!

-European Title. Commonwealth Title.

0:09:380:09:40

But I didn't quite get the World Title.

0:09:400:09:42

-You can't top Olympic gold, though.

-No, no.

0:09:420:09:44

That was a special moment for me, and for the country, for sure.

0:09:440:09:47

Now most sports, I watch.

0:09:470:09:48

I watch some sports, and I think, "I quite fancy a go at that".

0:09:480:09:52

Boxing - I reckon it hurts a bit.

0:09:520:09:57

Does it?

0:09:570:09:58

Yeah, when you're hitting the other opponent, it doesn't hurt.

0:09:580:10:02

It feels nice. But when they're hitting you back...

0:10:020:10:04

Yeah, that's where I was thinking it was probably... That's the bit...

0:10:040:10:07

They say, when you go swimming, you have to get wet.

0:10:070:10:10

When you go in the ring, at some point, you have to get hit.

0:10:100:10:13

And when you do, and it goes wrong, and unfortunately you go down,

0:10:130:10:16

-it's not the most fun thing in the world.

-No.

0:10:160:10:18

But fortunately for me, it didn't happen too often.

0:10:180:10:20

-Getting Audley down, that's got to take a lot, hasn't it?

-Yeah.

0:10:200:10:24

So, Audley, popular books and their authors.

0:10:240:10:28

OK. I think my safest one, because remember, we're in Britain,

0:10:280:10:32

so hopefully a lot of the Brits wouldn't say this gentleman.

0:10:320:10:36

So I'm going to go Dreams From My Father, Barack Obama.

0:10:360:10:40

Barack Obama, says Audley. Let's see if that is right.

0:10:400:10:42

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

0:10:420:10:44

It is Barack Obama.

0:10:460:10:47

Well, 41 is our high score. 26 our low.

0:10:470:10:50

You pass 41.

0:10:500:10:52

You pass 26.

0:10:520:10:53

-Look at that - 9, Audley!

-Oh, my God! Awesome.

0:10:530:10:57

APPLAUSE Fabulous. Single-figure score.

0:10:570:11:00

That's a great answer, Audley. Well done.

0:11:000:11:01

Well worked out, as well, that it might get a lower score.

0:11:010:11:04

-Yeah, it covers his early years.

-Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:11:040:11:07

Now, Lisa, welcome to Pointless.

0:11:070:11:10

Now, So Solid Crew - is it still going? No?

0:11:100:11:14

-It is indeed.

-It is?

-A lot of people are shocked by it,

0:11:140:11:17

but myself and Romeo, a few of the other guys, we're still touring.

0:11:170:11:21

We're still doing hundreds of shows a year. And worldwide, as well.

0:11:210:11:25

-We are going as far as Australia and Dubai.

-Fantastic.

0:11:250:11:28

So, yeah, it's really good.

0:11:280:11:29

The garage scene is back.

0:11:290:11:31

You've branched out and done other things while doing So Solid.

0:11:310:11:35

I have indeed. I have. I have.

0:11:350:11:36

I've got a booking agency that have been doing loads of the industry

0:11:360:11:40

bookings, like talent bookings, and I've got an online shop coming.

0:11:400:11:44

We're actually into festivals, as well.

0:11:440:11:46

The Shard Festival is my next festival.

0:11:460:11:48

Have you organised it? Have you put it together?

0:11:480:11:50

-I've organised it. I have indeed.

-You've curated...

0:11:500:11:52

-What's it called? The Shark Festival?

-The Shard Festival.

0:11:520:11:55

The Shard Festival!

0:11:550:11:56

The Shark Festival's a good idea, though, for next year.

0:11:560:11:58

-Let's do that.

-OK.

0:11:580:12:00

Now, Lisa, this board is all yours.

0:12:000:12:03

Do you fancy going through it and just talking through some of them?

0:12:030:12:06

I mean, I don't know the Wolf Hall, Or How To Be A Domestic Goddess.

0:12:060:12:10

The only one I do know is the one I'm going to go with,

0:12:100:12:15

and that is Being Jordan, Katie Price.

0:12:150:12:18

Oh, not Kevin Pietersen. Oh.

0:12:180:12:21

Er, right, OK. Let's see if that's right.

0:12:210:12:23

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

0:12:230:12:26

It's not going to happen.

0:12:260:12:28

-Oh!

-It's right.

0:12:280:12:30

Ooh, look, 62. Not bad. APPLAUSE

0:12:310:12:34

Not bad. 62 for Katie Price.

0:12:340:12:36

Yeah, not bad at all. Well played, everybody there.

0:12:360:12:38

Five autobiographies already at the age of 37.

0:12:380:12:42

-And counting.

-Can you believe that?

-I can!

0:12:420:12:45

-She's a very diligent, hard worker.

-She is.

-She loves nothing more.

0:12:450:12:49

She works in the London library.

0:12:490:12:51

She finds a quiet corner in the reading room.

0:12:520:12:54

You can see her with her glasses.

0:12:540:12:56

She does a lot of research, as you'd imagine.

0:12:560:12:59

-Into her own life?

-Into... Well, you know,

0:12:590:13:01

she wants to make sure that all the references she makes,

0:13:010:13:03

the secondary historical references, are absolutely...

0:13:030:13:06

She looks up Peter Andre in the Encyclopaedia Britannica.

0:13:060:13:08

That's him. Yep. He has his own entry.

0:13:080:13:11

Yeah. Now, let's fill in these.

0:13:110:13:14

Everyone avoided the top one, well done.

0:13:140:13:17

Of course, JK Rowling. Would have scored you 82 points.

0:13:170:13:21

Now, NL. You do know - it's Nigella Lawson.

0:13:210:13:24

Nigella Lawson would have scored 65.

0:13:250:13:27

The best answer left on the board, though, Wolf Hall.

0:13:270:13:29

-Hilary Mantel.

-Hilary Mantel.

0:13:290:13:31

And that would have scored you 19.

0:13:310:13:33

So Barack Obama is the best answer up there, Audley. well played.

0:13:330:13:36

Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round.

0:13:360:13:38

Let's take a look at those scores. Audley, very well done.

0:13:380:13:40

9. The best score of that pass by a margin.

0:13:400:13:43

Audley and Gail, I think you should be fairly safely through to the

0:13:430:13:46

next round. We then travel up to 26, where we find Katy and Brian.

0:13:460:13:49

Then 41 is where we find Suzy and David.

0:13:490:13:51

And then all the way up to 62 is where we find Lisa and Romeo.

0:13:510:13:55

You're not that far ahead, actually.

0:13:550:13:56

But, Romeo, we need a low score from you.

0:13:560:13:58

I'll try my best. I'll give it a shot.

0:13:580:14:01

-You'd better!

-Can I just say, Romeo's got the most fantastic

0:14:010:14:03

-voice.

-Amazing.

-It's just a brilliant voice.

0:14:030:14:05

-You should get me in for voice- overs.

-You should record stuff!

0:14:050:14:09

OK, we're going to come back down the line now.

0:14:090:14:11

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:14:110:14:13

OK, let's put seven more books up on the board, and here they are.

0:14:150:14:19

We've got...

0:14:190:14:20

I'll read those all one last time.

0:14:300:14:32

Remember, we are looking for the names of the authors whose initials

0:14:390:14:42

appear after the book titles. Now, Romeo, welcome to Pointless.

0:14:420:14:45

Good to have you here.

0:14:450:14:46

-How are you doing, sir?

-I'm very well, thank you.

0:14:460:14:49

And delighted to be welcoming you.

0:14:490:14:51

How many people are in So Solid Crew?

0:14:510:14:53

Initially, it started with 21,

0:14:530:14:55

and it kind of just grew and grew and grew.

0:14:550:14:58

Every one person knew another ten other people.

0:14:580:15:01

So, everyone just gravitated towards us.

0:15:010:15:04

Roughly how many do you think now?

0:15:040:15:06

We're talking in the hundreds.

0:15:060:15:08

Maybe thousands.

0:15:080:15:10

-That's kind of the size of a modest ska band.

-Maybe millions.

0:15:100:15:13

OK! So, it's kind of a collective really, now.

0:15:130:15:16

Yeah, definitely more of a collective, yeah.

0:15:160:15:18

And what's the most you've ever had on stage?

0:15:180:15:20

The most we've ever had on stage is usually probably about 15, maybe 20.

0:15:200:15:24

-I mean, that dictates the size of venue.

-We fill the stage.

0:15:240:15:27

We definitely fill the stage.

0:15:270:15:30

Yeah, you wouldn't want too small a stage, do you?

0:15:300:15:32

Unless it's double-decker. You could do a double decker.

0:15:320:15:34

-Has to be double-decker.

-We could do that for the Shark Festival.

0:15:340:15:37

-That's a really good idea, yeah.

-Now, Romeo, there you are.

0:15:370:15:39

You're on 62. We need a low-scoring answer.

0:15:390:15:41

62. I'm going to be honest with you -

0:15:410:15:44

I haven't actually read many of these books.

0:15:440:15:47

It's going to be a tough one.

0:15:470:15:48

Lisa, you're going to be so disappointed in me right now.

0:15:490:15:53

Erm...

0:15:530:15:55

-Simon Murray?

-Simon Murray.

0:15:550:15:57

-Twilight.

-For Twilight. Simon Murray, OK.

0:15:570:16:00

No red line for you, as you are the high-scorers.

0:16:000:16:02

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

0:16:020:16:06

100.

0:16:060:16:08

No. Sorry, Romeo. It's really tough if you don't know

0:16:080:16:11

one of those things but, anyway, a game effort.

0:16:110:16:14

Scores you 100 points and takes your total up to 162.

0:16:140:16:17

-It's not too bad.

-Not Simon Murray, Romeo,

0:16:170:16:20

although Simon Murray in 2005 was briefly a member of So Solid Crew.

0:16:200:16:24

LAUGHTER

0:16:240:16:26

-You remember the guy, right?

-He remembered!

0:16:260:16:28

Seriously, can we get Romeo some voice-over work?

0:16:280:16:31

-We must.

-Don't you think?

-Definitely.

-I mean, just amazing.

0:16:310:16:34

-Yeah.

-It would be better than what I'm doing right now, to be fair.

0:16:340:16:38

A lot better.

0:16:380:16:40

Thanks, Richard, thanks, Romeo.

0:16:400:16:42

-Gail.

-Hello.

-Welcome to Pointless. Good to have you.

0:16:420:16:45

-So, badminton.

-Yeah.

-When did you stop playing badminton?

0:16:450:16:49

I stopped after the 2008 Olympics

0:16:490:16:52

but I've made a bit of a brief comeback.

0:16:520:16:54

We've got a new National Badminton League going on in England now,

0:16:540:16:57

so we're struggling with women.

0:16:570:17:00

-So, you're back in?

-I'm back, playing against 18-year-olds.

0:17:000:17:02

-What does that feel like?

-I'm 40 next year,

0:17:020:17:04

so it's hard because my body...

0:17:040:17:07

My head says "yes" and my body says "no".

0:17:070:17:09

So it's interesting.

0:17:090:17:11

-Mixed doubles was basically your thing, wasn't it?

-Yeah.

0:17:110:17:14

So, is that what you're playing again now?

0:17:140:17:16

I want to because the bloke does most of the running but I appear to

0:17:160:17:19

be doing ladies doubles, so I have to do a bit more work on this one.

0:17:190:17:21

Oh, that's annoying. Now, Gail, it doesn't matter what you score.

0:17:210:17:25

Partly because of the high score behind you but also because Audley

0:17:250:17:27

-got a fantastic score in the first pass.

-Brilliant.

0:17:270:17:30

It really doesn't matter at all. All pressure off.

0:17:300:17:32

But let's have a good answer.

0:17:320:17:34

OK, well, um, I actually knew more on the other board, to be honest.

0:17:340:17:38

But, you know, because Audley gave such a good answer,

0:17:380:17:42

I'm going to try and match him and see and go for The Blair Years,

0:17:420:17:44

-Alastair Campbell.

-Alastair Campbell, says Gail,

0:17:440:17:46

for The Blair Years.

0:17:460:17:47

No red line because you're already through. Let's see how many of our 100 people

0:17:470:17:51

went with Alastair Campbell.

0:17:510:17:52

-Oh, 29.

-29.

0:17:590:18:00

APPLAUSE

0:18:000:18:02

Very nicely done.

0:18:020:18:03

38 is your total.

0:18:030:18:04

-Well played, Gail. They mean business on podium three, don't they?

-I think they do.

0:18:040:18:08

Published only a few weeks after Blair resigned as Prime Minister.

0:18:080:18:11

He must have just been sitting on that.

0:18:130:18:15

Every so often just adding a little bit more and popping it back in his

0:18:150:18:18

-drawer.

-He's going, "Hey, Tony, are you still...?

0:18:180:18:20

-"Yeah, you're still there. OK, no problem. Nothing."

-No, no.

-Nothing.

0:18:200:18:24

OK. Now then, David.

0:18:240:18:26

Welcome back. Good to have you.

0:18:260:18:29

-Now before EastEnders...

-Yeah.

-Before you were Mr Miller,

0:18:290:18:32

you were a roadie for Hawkwind and Motorhead.

0:18:320:18:37

Hawkwind and Motorhead, yeah, back in the mid-'70s.

0:18:370:18:39

How many years did you do it for?

0:18:390:18:41

A few years, I was actually at art college at the same time, as well,

0:18:410:18:44

so I was sort of tossing between the two.

0:18:440:18:46

-Yeah.

-So, great days.

0:18:460:18:48

-I mean, great days.

-I mean, great days.

0:18:480:18:50

And you were touring massive venues, as well?

0:18:500:18:53

Yeah, big-time, big crowds.

0:18:530:18:56

Didn't know where I was from one day to the next, but, boy,

0:18:560:18:58

-were we having fun.

-Did you mix with the bands, did they become friends?

0:18:580:19:01

Oh, yeah, yeah.

0:19:010:19:03

-Absolutely.

-Lovely, listen, good news for you, David, you're through to the next round.

0:19:030:19:07

It doesn't matter what you score here.

0:19:070:19:10

You will know all of these, I'm sure.

0:19:100:19:11

Well, I'll go for The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown.

0:19:120:19:16

Dan Brown, says David. No red line - you're already through.

0:19:160:19:19

Let's see how many people said Dan Brown.

0:19:190:19:22

69.

0:19:260:19:28

Takes your total up to 110.

0:19:280:19:29

Yeah, very well played, safe and sound.

0:19:310:19:33

He has written the programme for Shark Fest.

0:19:330:19:37

Oh. That is...

0:19:370:19:39

It is called, don't dare not laugh.

0:19:390:19:42

The Da Finci Code.

0:19:430:19:45

LAUGHTER

0:19:450:19:48

Thank you very much, indeed.

0:19:480:19:51

Now then, Brian, welcome.

0:19:510:19:52

Welcome to Pointless, it's lovely to have you here.

0:19:520:19:55

-Thank you very much.

-What were you doing before Big Brother?

0:19:550:19:58

Well, I was basically a data-entry clerk.

0:19:580:20:00

So, I used to type credit card information onto computers, basically,

0:20:000:20:05

straight out of college, I was 19.

0:20:050:20:07

I was 19, straight out of college into

0:20:070:20:10

a credit card company and then straight into Big Brother.

0:20:100:20:13

Into the Big Brother house, into the clutches of television, television hasn't let you go since.

0:20:130:20:17

I know, it's been nine years, it's really weird, it is weird.

0:20:170:20:20

What are you doing at the moment, Brian?

0:20:200:20:22

Believe it or not, writing.

0:20:220:20:24

People don't really think of me as being a writer during my stay in the

0:20:240:20:27

Big Brother house, they never really do me much justice.

0:20:270:20:31

-I do a bit of writing.

-What are you writing?

0:20:320:20:34

What am I writing? I have to keep it quiet.

0:20:340:20:37

-I have to keep it quiet.

-OK.

0:20:370:20:40

Are you writing Katie Price's sixth autobiography?

0:20:400:20:43

Yeah, that is the biggest secret actually, I am her ghost-writer,

0:20:430:20:46

I'm Katie Price's ghost-writer.

0:20:460:20:48

There we go. Now, Brian, you're also through to the next round.

0:20:480:20:51

-Brilliant.

-Do you fancy talking us through these remaining book titles?

0:20:510:20:55

You know, it's really weird, I was going to say,

0:20:550:20:57

because I didn't really know any of the others,

0:20:570:20:59

but I've just realised The Blair Years, I sort of knew.

0:20:590:21:01

The others - Twilight, I don't really...

0:21:010:21:04

I'm trying to work out whether A Royal Duty is Paul Burrell.

0:21:040:21:06

Do you know what? I'm going to go with -

0:21:060:21:08

because I have to be that person -

0:21:080:21:10

The Return Of The Naked Chef, Jamie Oliver.

0:21:100:21:12

Jamie Oliver says Brian, no red line,

0:21:120:21:14

you're already through. Let's see how many of our 100 went for Jamie Oliver.

0:21:140:21:17

Oh, don't tell me I've got it wrong.

0:21:190:21:21

-It's right.

-Oh!

0:21:210:21:22

There we are, 74 for Jamie Oliver.

0:21:220:21:24

100 is your total.

0:21:240:21:27

Very well played, Brian.

0:21:270:21:29

His 30-minute meals was the fastest-selling nonfiction book in history.

0:21:290:21:32

29½ minutes.

0:21:320:21:34

Exactly, isn't that amazing?

0:21:340:21:37

Now, if you had said Paul Burrell, it was a correct answer.

0:21:370:21:41

Very well done, it would have scored you far fewer points, as well.

0:21:410:21:44

It would have scored you 15.

0:21:440:21:46

Now, Twilight, not Simon Murray, it's Stephanie Meyer,

0:21:460:21:48

that would've scored you 17 points. Atonement, down the bottom.

0:21:480:21:51

-Ian McEwan.

-Ian McEwan, 11 points.

0:21:510:21:53

Now, My Defence is written by a footballer, so a defender.

0:21:530:21:57

-Ashley Cole?

-Ashley Cole.

-Ashley is the answer.

0:21:570:22:00

And actually, one point, so very well done if you said that.

0:22:000:22:03

Once you've got Alistair Campbell in there,

0:22:030:22:05

you think maybe that's his apology for The Blair Years.

0:22:050:22:09

There we are, thank you very much. At the end of our first round,

0:22:090:22:12

the pair we have to say goodbye to with their high score of 162,

0:22:120:22:14

it's our So Solid fourth podium over there.

0:22:140:22:17

I'm so sorry, Romeo and Lisa, it's been such a treat having you here.

0:22:170:22:20

-Thank you.

-Thanks a lot.

-I'm so sorry, it's far too soon,

0:22:200:22:22

-just far too soon to be sending you away.

-Next time round.

0:22:220:22:25

Come back, please come back. Lovely to have you.

0:22:250:22:27

I've got lots of other members from So Solid Crew,

0:22:270:22:29

I can definitely come down with one of them.

0:22:290:22:31

Listen, you could bring one for each of the next series and that would

0:22:310:22:35

-keep us going for nearly 75 years.

-One for each series, there you go.

0:22:350:22:38

Brilliant, thank you so much, Romeo and Lisa, brilliant to have you here.

0:22:380:22:41

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

0:22:430:22:46

And now we're down to three pairs.

0:22:500:22:52

It gets worse - at the end of this round we'll have to get rid of

0:22:520:22:55

another pair, we'll be down to two for our head-to-head.

0:22:550:22:57

But let's not worry about that just yet.

0:22:570:23:00

Well done, everybody, you've made it through the first round there,

0:23:000:23:03

very good indeed. Audley, hats off to you, sir, the lowest score by a margin,

0:23:030:23:07

-that was fantastic.

-Thank you, sir.

-Very good indeed. Best of luck to all three pairs,

0:23:070:23:10

our category for Round Two this evening is Star Wars.

0:23:100:23:14

-Oh, no.

-Star Wars. It's funny,

0:23:140:23:18

you never reveal a category without people going, "Oh, no."

0:23:180:23:21

Even if it's one of those categories that everybody asks for all the time.

0:23:210:23:24

People at home will be happy.

0:23:240:23:26

Oh, yeah, they'll be happy. OK, can you all decide in your pairs,

0:23:260:23:28

who's going to go first, who's going to go second?

0:23:280:23:31

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

0:23:310:23:33

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

0:23:360:23:38

Here it comes, we gave 100 people 100 seconds to name

0:23:380:23:41

as many actors who have appeared in more than one

0:23:410:23:46

Star Wars film as they could.

0:23:460:23:47

Actors who have appeared in more than one Star Wars film, Richard.

0:23:470:23:50

We're looking for the name of any actor who was credited as

0:23:500:23:52

appearing in more than one of the original releases

0:23:520:23:55

of the seven Star Wars films, please, according to IMDb.

0:23:550:23:59

So, any actor who has appeared in two or more of those Star Wars films

0:23:590:24:02

when they were first released, please.

0:24:020:24:05

-Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Brian.

-Hello.

0:24:050:24:08

-Brian.

-I was deep in thought there.

0:24:080:24:10

No, no, that's good. He was not thinking about Star Wars, he was thinking about chapter five.

0:24:100:24:14

Yeah, chapter five.

0:24:140:24:15

I've got to choose someone who's not really that well-known.

0:24:160:24:20

-Ideally, who's been in them.

-Somebody who's been in 'em.

0:24:200:24:24

I'm trying to work out how many films star Hayden Christensen...

0:24:240:24:27

was in Star Wars?

0:24:270:24:29

I can't confer. OK.

0:24:290:24:31

I wouldn't be any use anyway!

0:24:310:24:34

-Yeah.

-You've got to take my first answer?

0:24:350:24:38

-I kind of have to take your first answer.

-That's Hayden Christiansen.

0:24:380:24:40

Hayden Christiansen, says Brian.

0:24:400:24:42

Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Hayden Christiansen.

0:24:420:24:45

-Oh!

-It's right!

-Fantastic.

0:24:470:24:49

Down it goes. Look at that. Down it goes!

0:24:520:24:54

Hayden Christiansen!

0:24:540:24:56

There you go, Brian.

0:24:580:25:00

-Four for Hayden Christiansen.

-Oh, my God.

0:25:000:25:02

-That's good work, Brian.

-He plays Anakin Skywalker in episodes two and three.

0:25:020:25:07

-Get in.

-Very well done, great answer.

0:25:070:25:09

That was the best worst mistake I've ever made.

0:25:090:25:11

-David.

-Hi.

0:25:140:25:15

Who would you like to go for?

0:25:150:25:17

I would like to go for Ewan McGregor.

0:25:170:25:20

-Ewan McGregor?

-Yeah.

-Says David.

0:25:200:25:22

Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Ewan McGregor.

0:25:220:25:26

It's right.

0:25:290:25:30

Not bad. Look at that, down to 16.

0:25:330:25:35

Ewan McGregor, 16.

0:25:350:25:37

Obi-Wan Kenobi in episode one, two and three.

0:25:400:25:42

He also gives a voice performance in number seven, but uncredited.

0:25:420:25:46

Thanks very much, indeed.

0:25:460:25:48

Now, Audley, how are we feeling about Star Wars?

0:25:480:25:52

Can I call a friend?

0:25:520:25:54

Different show!

0:25:540:25:56

I don't know what to say.

0:25:560:25:58

Oh!

0:25:580:26:00

Ah!

0:26:000:26:02

-OK.

-All right.

0:26:020:26:04

It's the only one I know. The only one I know.

0:26:040:26:07

William Shatner.

0:26:070:26:09

William Shatner. That's not what I was expecting you to say.

0:26:090:26:11

William Shatner?

0:26:110:26:13

-He's done it, hasn't he?

-Audley...

0:26:130:26:15

-No?

-..let's see if that's right.

0:26:150:26:17

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

0:26:170:26:20

Audley, I'm sorry.

0:26:230:26:25

I know what's happened here, but I'm afraid that's a, yeah,

0:26:250:26:28

there's a Trek-Wars confusion there.

0:26:280:26:31

That scores you 100 points. I'm really sorry.

0:26:310:26:34

Sorry, Audley. There's good news and bad news.

0:26:340:26:36

The bad news is that you've mixed up Star Wars and Star Trek.

0:26:360:26:38

Every Star Wars and Star Trek fan will be furious.

0:26:380:26:40

The good news is, good luck against you.

0:26:400:26:43

Thanks very much, Richard. We're halfway through the round.

0:26:450:26:47

Let's look at those scores. Four. What about that, Brian? Four, the best score.

0:26:470:26:51

-I couldn't believe that.

-You and Katy, I would say,

0:26:510:26:53

are looking like a shoo-in for the head-to-head at this stage.

0:26:530:26:56

Then up to 16, David and Susie.

0:26:560:26:57

Very well done, indeed.

0:26:570:26:59

I'm sorry, Audley, that was a...

0:26:590:27:01

Yeah, that was a misstep there, and a costly one.

0:27:010:27:04

It's cost you 100 points.

0:27:040:27:06

But who knows what happens in the next pass, Gail?

0:27:060:27:08

A low score from you could keep you in the game.

0:27:080:27:11

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

0:27:110:27:14

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:27:140:27:16

-So, Gail.

-Mm.

0:27:190:27:22

This is a big ask. I tell you what, I bet there are loads and loads

0:27:220:27:25

-and loads of pointless answers out there.

-Yeah. I mean, I had Hayden Christiansen.

0:27:250:27:29

-So I'm a little bit gutted about that.

-Did you?

0:27:290:27:31

Yeah, I did have Hayden Christiansen. So, thanks, Brian!

0:27:310:27:34

You know, I'll just sort of give it a go.

0:27:360:27:39

-Give it a go.

-I'm going to go...

0:27:390:27:41

..Warwick Davis.

0:27:410:27:43

Warwick Davis, says Gail. There's no red line for you, as you are the high-scorers.

0:27:430:27:47

But let's see how many of the 100 people said Warwick Davis.

0:27:470:27:50

Absolutely right.

0:27:510:27:53

Look at that. 14. Very well done, indeed.

0:27:580:27:59

The second lowest score of the round.

0:27:590:28:02

114.

0:28:020:28:03

You might have kept yourself in the game there. You might have done.

0:28:030:28:06

He played all sorts of characters, Warwick Davis, in the Star Wars movies.

0:28:060:28:09

Wicket, most famously, the Ewok.

0:28:090:28:11

And the Ewok scenes were all literally in this studio here.

0:28:110:28:14

-That's amazing, isn't it?

-It's cool, isn't it?

-I know.

0:28:140:28:18

And, apparently, all the people working on it

0:28:180:28:22

took a pretty dim view of it.

0:28:220:28:24

Everyone thought it was just going to bomb.

0:28:240:28:26

-The first one?

-Yeah.

0:28:260:28:28

It's like this, though, isn't it?

0:28:280:28:30

-Yeah, true.

-Remember that?

-Yeah.

0:28:300:28:33

I was just about to say something that would have given away an answer.

0:28:330:28:36

-I stopped myself.

-Well done. It's very unlike you.

0:28:360:28:39

Mmm.

0:28:390:28:41

OK, now, Susie.

0:28:410:28:42

-Susie.

-I wish you had given away an answer.

0:28:420:28:45

I am not a Star Wars fan.

0:28:450:28:47

Gail, Audley, you heard what she said.

0:28:470:28:49

I am not at all.

0:28:490:28:52

And I haven't seen a Star Wars film since I was a child.

0:28:520:28:55

OK.

0:28:550:28:57

There's a woman who I'm sure was in the last one.

0:28:570:28:59

I want to say, but I'm not quite sure on the pronunciation of her surname.

0:28:590:29:04

I'm going to go with Harrison Ford.

0:29:040:29:06

I know he was in at least one because that's the one I've seen.

0:29:060:29:09

OK, Harrison Ford, says Susie. There is your red line.

0:29:090:29:12

Nice and high. You just have to get below that with Harrison Ford.

0:29:120:29:15

Can you?

0:29:150:29:16

Yes, you can.

0:29:180:29:19

73 for Harrison Ford.

0:29:200:29:23

Good enough. It takes your total up to 89.

0:29:230:29:25

You did exactly the right thing, going for a safe answer.

0:29:250:29:29

He's in four, five, six and seven.

0:29:290:29:31

Thanks very much, indeed. Now, Katy.

0:29:310:29:34

-Yes.

-You're through. It doesn't matter what you score.

0:29:340:29:36

Talk us through some of your thoughts,

0:29:360:29:38

and maybe you could winkle out a pointless answer?

0:29:380:29:42

It's highly unlikely that I'll get a pointless answer.

0:29:420:29:45

I've got to thank Brian.

0:29:450:29:47

I don't want to mess it up.

0:29:470:29:49

I'm going to take the risk of the person I know is in more than one,

0:29:490:29:53

but I'm not sure of his name.

0:29:530:29:55

I'm going to say Kenny Rogers.

0:29:550:29:57

Kenny Rogers?

0:29:570:29:58

-Yes.

-Kenny Rogers, says Katy.

0:29:580:30:00

-Kenny Rogers? Kenny Rogers.

-Have I just invented someone?

0:30:000:30:05

No! I didn't know Kenny Rogers was in it.

0:30:050:30:07

I think I've just made someone up.

0:30:070:30:09

He very much exists, Kenny Rogers.

0:30:090:30:11

-The country singer?

-Oh, no, OK.

0:30:110:30:13

He did something with Dolly Parton, didn't he?

0:30:130:30:16

-That's the one.

-Islands In The Stream.

0:30:160:30:18

Now, after this, after this humiliation,

0:30:180:30:21

you're going to tell me who I meant, aren't you?

0:30:210:30:23

You might have meant Kenny Rogers.

0:30:230:30:25

It might be one of those things.

0:30:250:30:28

Kenny Rogers was in Star Wars, I didn't know.

0:30:280:30:30

Dammit!

0:30:300:30:31

Let's find out. Is Kenny Rogers in Star Wars?

0:30:310:30:34

No!

0:30:350:30:37

Oh, no!

0:30:370:30:38

-It doesn't matter, Katy, you are through.

-I know, I'm sorry.

0:30:380:30:41

That's OK.

0:30:410:30:42

Thanks to the excellent work that Brian did in the first pass,

0:30:420:30:46

Kenny Rogers is precisely the kind of fun you can afford to have.

0:30:460:30:49

Thank you. Kenny Rogers is the kind of fun I'd like to have.

0:30:490:30:52

OK, there we are. 104 your total.

0:30:520:30:54

Yeah, not Kenny Rogers, I'm afraid.

0:30:540:30:56

I think you're thinking of the gentleman who plays R2-D2,

0:30:560:30:59

-it's Kenny Baker.

-Kenny Baker.

0:30:590:31:01

Also the name of a musician, of course, you see.

0:31:010:31:04

That's where the confusion comes.

0:31:040:31:05

And an ex-education minister, Kenny Baker.

0:31:070:31:12

-No, it is the same person.

-Really?

0:31:120:31:14

Yes, Kenneth Baker, the ex-education minister,

0:31:140:31:16

he acts under the name Kenny Baker.

0:31:160:31:18

-A wonderful musician, as well.

-He's R2-D2.

0:31:180:31:20

And Geoffrey Howe was C-3PO.

0:31:200:31:22

LAUGHTER

0:31:220:31:25

There you go.

0:31:250:31:26

C-3PO was Anthony Daniels, that would have scored six points,

0:31:260:31:29

as would Kenny Baker. Both would have been good answers.

0:31:290:31:31

Let's take a look at some pointless answers here.

0:31:310:31:33

If you know your Star Wars, you'd have got some of these but tough for everyone else.

0:31:330:31:37

Jeremy Bulloch was Boba Fett, as well as somebody else.

0:31:440:31:48

Joel Edgerton, who was Owen.

0:31:480:31:49

Kenneth Colley you could have had,

0:31:490:31:51

also could had Oliver Ford Davies.

0:31:510:31:53

Pernilla August or Temuera Morrison who played Jango Fett.

0:31:530:31:57

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

0:31:570:31:59

the ones that most of our 100 people said.

0:31:590:32:01

Mark Hamill, of course, Luke Skywalker himself, would have scored you 35.

0:32:030:32:07

Carrie Fisher, 37.

0:32:070:32:08

And we have seen the top answer, Harrison Ford, 73.

0:32:080:32:11

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:32:110:32:13

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

0:32:130:32:15

to Gail and Audley. I'm so sorry.

0:32:150:32:17

Low scorer from the first round.

0:32:170:32:21

High scorer in the last, I'm afraid.

0:32:210:32:23

In the last - in your last, anyway.

0:32:230:32:25

It's been lovely having you on. Please come and play again,

0:32:250:32:27

Gail and Audley. Fantastic show. Brilliant. Gail and Audley.

0:32:270:32:30

APPLAUSE

0:32:300:32:32

But for our remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.

0:32:340:32:37

Congratulations, David and Susie, Katy and Brian.

0:32:410:32:43

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

0:32:430:32:46

jackpot, which currently stands

0:32:460:32:48

at £2,500.

0:32:480:32:51

We have now reached the point where we have to decide who

0:32:530:32:56

goes through to the final to play for that jackpot.

0:32:560:32:58

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

0:32:580:33:00

But you are now a team, you can now confer before you give your answers.

0:33:000:33:04

The first player to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

0:33:040:33:07

Well, David, you are on course to be the first ever person in Celebrity

0:33:070:33:11

Pointless history - in fact, in Pointless history -

0:33:110:33:13

to win the jackpot twice.

0:33:130:33:15

It could happen, is all I'm saying.

0:33:150:33:17

-No pressure, then.

-A lot of pressure.

0:33:170:33:20

But I'm just saying, it's all going very well, David, so far.

0:33:200:33:23

-Yes, fingers crossed.

-We've had some brilliant answers from both teams.

0:33:230:33:26

So anything could happen in this round.

0:33:260:33:28

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

0:33:280:33:31

Here is your first question and it concerns...

0:33:360:33:40

Railway stations. Richard?

0:33:420:33:43

We'll show you five pictures now of railway stations from around the

0:33:430:33:46

world. We need you to tell us the name of the city they're in, please.

0:33:460:33:49

We're going to give you the first initial of that city, too.

0:33:490:33:52

OK, so where are these railway stations?

0:33:520:33:54

And, we have got...

0:33:540:33:56

There we are, five city railway stations.

0:34:200:34:23

David and Susie, you have been our low-scorers so far,

0:34:230:34:25

so you will go first.

0:34:250:34:27

OK.

0:34:290:34:30

-Let's take D.

-Yeah.

0:34:300:34:32

-We've got to go for it.

-Yeah.

0:34:320:34:34

We are going to go for D which we think might be Edinburgh.

0:34:360:34:40

Edinburgh, say David and Susie.

0:34:400:34:43

Katy and Brian, what would you like to go for?

0:34:430:34:45

Do you want to talk us through those other cities?

0:34:450:34:47

OK, the first one we think is Paris,

0:34:470:34:50

the second one we think is New York.

0:34:500:34:52

I wouldn't have a clue about C or E.

0:34:520:34:56

Given that Paris and New York are likely to score higher than Edinburgh in any case...

0:34:560:35:01

-That's true.

-Shall we risk it?

0:35:010:35:03

-Yeah.

-OK, can we risk C, Antwerp?

0:35:030:35:06

Antwerp, say Katy and Brian for C.

0:35:060:35:08

So we have Edinburgh and we have Antwerp.

0:35:080:35:10

David and Susie said Edinburgh for D.

0:35:100:35:13

Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people went for Edinburgh.

0:35:130:35:16

There we are, Waverley Station.

0:35:170:35:19

26.

0:35:230:35:24

APPLAUSE

0:35:240:35:26

Not bad at all.

0:35:260:35:28

Now then, Katy and Brian meanwhile have gone out on a bit of a limb here and said Antwerp for C.

0:35:280:35:34

Let see how many of our 100 people said Antwerp.

0:35:340:35:36

Is it right, though?

0:35:360:35:37

It is right, it is Antwerp.

0:35:400:35:42

-Oh, my God!

-Look at that.

0:35:420:35:43

It's amazing. And it went through the point and down it goes to four.

0:35:450:35:48

Antwerp, very well done, indeed.

0:35:480:35:49

A gutsy call but it paid off.

0:35:490:35:52

It means after one question, Katy and Brian are up 1-0.

0:35:520:35:55

-Very nicely done, very well played.

-It's not good form to win on a guess, though, is it?

0:35:550:35:59

No, it is because you work it out from the letters and all that kind of stuff.

0:35:590:36:02

It was recently described as the most beautiful railway station in the world, Antwerp railway station.

0:36:020:36:07

Now, Paris is the first one.

0:36:080:36:10

Paris would have scored you 77.

0:36:100:36:12

New York, of course.

0:36:140:36:16

93 that would have scored you.

0:36:170:36:19

So seven people are looking at N-- Y---

0:36:190:36:22

thinking...

0:36:220:36:24

..it could be anything.

0:36:240:36:26

And E is Berlin.

0:36:270:36:30

And that would have scored you 31.

0:36:310:36:34

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:36:340:36:35

So here comes your second question.

0:36:350:36:37

-David and Susie, you have to win this one to stay in the game.

-Yes.

0:36:370:36:40

But Katy and Brian get to answer it first, so best of luck.

0:36:400:36:43

Our second question is all about...

0:36:430:36:45

TV shows that share their title with a song.

0:36:490:36:52

We are going to show you clues to five titles that are a song

0:36:520:36:55

and a TV show, as well. Can you work out the most obscure of these?

0:36:550:36:58

OK, thanks very much indeed.

0:36:580:37:00

So let's reveal our five clues and here they are...

0:37:000:37:02

I'm going to read those one last time.

0:37:290:37:31

There we are. So we come to Katy and Brian first.

0:37:530:37:56

-WHISPERS:

-The first one I think is Life On Mars.

0:37:560:37:58

If it's a police drama, erm...

0:38:020:38:05

-1970s, it's definitely...

-OK.

0:38:050:38:09

We are going to go for the first one and we think that's Life On Mars.

0:38:090:38:13

Life On Mars, say Katy and Brian. Life On Mars.

0:38:130:38:17

Now then, David and Susie, that board is all yours.

0:38:170:38:21

Talk us through it.

0:38:210:38:22

We are thinking the hit for Ed Sheeran is The A Team.

0:38:220:38:25

The bottom one will be The Young Ones.

0:38:250:38:28

Do we know the chat show?

0:38:280:38:31

-The spoof one, ah-ha!

-Oh, yeah.

0:38:310:38:33

How are we not remembering the name of it?

0:38:330:38:35

-Let's go for The Young Ones.

-OK, we'll go for The Young Ones.

0:38:360:38:39

OK, The Young Ones, say David and Susie.

0:38:390:38:41

So we have Life On Mars and we have The Young Ones.

0:38:410:38:43

Katy and Brian went for Life On Mars.

0:38:430:38:45

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

0:38:450:38:48

It's right.

0:38:500:38:51

27 for Life On Mars.

0:38:560:38:59

David and Susie meanwhile have gone for The Young Ones.

0:39:010:39:03

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

0:39:030:39:07

It's right.

0:39:090:39:11

52.

0:39:130:39:15

Which means very well done, Katy and Brian.

0:39:170:39:19

After only two questions you are straight through to the final, 2-0.

0:39:190:39:22

A terrific performance. The A Team was right.

0:39:220:39:25

It would have scored you more points, actually. You chose the right one of the ones you knew.

0:39:250:39:28

The A Team would have scored you 58.

0:39:280:39:31

You're asking what comes before the ah-ha in the Abba song?

0:39:310:39:34

-It's Knowing Me, Knowing You.

-Knowing Me, Knowing you.

-Ah-ha.

0:39:340:39:38

And that would have scored you 38.

0:39:380:39:39

The best answer on the board, they did it, it was a series of sketches

0:39:390:39:43

but set in an airport. I think it might be...

0:39:430:39:45

To me, it's their best work. I loved it.

0:39:450:39:47

-Come Fly With Me was superb.

-Come Fly With Me was the name of it.

0:39:470:39:49

And that would have scored you eight points, the best answer on the board.

0:39:490:39:53

Thanks very much indeed. So the pair leaving us, I'm sorry, David.

0:39:530:39:55

I jinxed that, didn't I? I jinxed it.

0:39:550:39:58

-I think it was me.

-Oh, dear.

0:39:580:40:00

Anyway, I'm sorry, I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye.

0:40:000:40:03

-A brilliant performance across the show.

-Thank you.

-Lovely low scores from you

0:40:030:40:06

and there you are, our low-scoring pair in the head-to-head.

0:40:060:40:09

I'm afraid this is the end of the road. We'll see you again, I hope, another time

0:40:090:40:12

-and you'll come back and do even better.

-Thank you so much.

0:40:120:40:15

Try and win the jackpot a second time. In the meantime, thanks very much, David and Susie.

0:40:150:40:18

-Thank you.

-APPLAUSE

0:40:180:40:21

But for Katy and Brian, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:40:220:40:25

Well, congratulations, Katy and Brian.

0:40:290:40:31

You fought off all the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:40:310:40:36

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot for your charities.

0:40:420:40:45

And at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at...

0:40:450:40:48

There we are.

0:40:500:40:52

Well, we've had Stieg Larsson from you,

0:40:540:40:56

we've had Hayden Christensen from you,

0:40:560:40:58

we had a 2-0 victory in the head-to-head.

0:40:580:41:01

And you weren't even our lowest-scoring couple.

0:41:010:41:03

Very, very impressive indeed.

0:41:030:41:05

Well, as always, you get to choose your category from the four that we throw up on the board behind me.

0:41:050:41:10

Let's see what today's selection looks like. We have got...

0:41:100:41:13

Oh, gosh.

0:41:200:41:22

If that's The Truman Show, I'd be quite good on that.

0:41:220:41:25

But there could be some sort of politician called something Truman,

0:41:250:41:28

that it could be about, and I wouldn't be very good.

0:41:280:41:30

If we go Truman and The Truman Show isn't there,

0:41:300:41:32

then we're definitely not going to win money, we're just going to have to accept that.

0:41:320:41:36

-OK.

-But what do you think?

0:41:360:41:38

-Shall we go Truman?

-Yes.

-Just cos...

-OK.

0:41:390:41:42

Listen, Brian wants to go with Truman.

0:41:420:41:44

I'm just going to say...

0:41:450:41:47

Blame it on me, blame it on me. I'm going to pick for you.

0:41:470:41:50

OK.

0:41:500:41:51

They want to go for Truman.

0:41:510:41:53

Finally, the life and career of Yorkshire fast bowler Fred Trueman.

0:41:530:41:57

It is about time it came up. We have three different questions for you.

0:41:570:42:00

-Let's take a look at what they are.

-We are looking for the title of any

0:42:000:42:03

novel or short story by Truman Capote, please - no nonfiction.

0:42:030:42:07

Just the novels and short stories.

0:42:070:42:09

We are looking for any cast member of The Truman Show.

0:42:090:42:12

-Yes!

-The 1998 film, according to IMDb.

0:42:120:42:15

Or we are looking for the name of any US president who served

0:42:150:42:19

before Harry S Truman.

0:42:190:42:21

So...

0:42:210:42:23

-Very best of luck.

-There we are.

0:42:270:42:29

As always, you've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.

0:42:290:42:32

To win that jackpot, all you need is for just one of your answers to be pointless. Are you ready?

0:42:320:42:36

-Yes.

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

0:42:360:42:38

There they are, your time starts now!

0:42:380:42:40

OK. So novels and short stories by Truman Capote...

0:42:400:42:43

-Anything but the first one.

-I just know Breakfast At Tiffany's

0:42:430:42:46

and In Cold Blood, but I think they're quite well known.

0:42:460:42:48

And US presidents before Harry Truman, I don't know that much.

0:42:480:42:51

-When was he...

-Tell me about The Truman Show, though?

0:42:510:42:55

The Truman Show, obviously, was set...

0:42:550:42:57

-It's like Big Brother...

-No, I mean tell me the cast members.

0:42:570:43:00

Oh, the cast members. Jim Carrey, obviously.

0:43:000:43:03

And then after that, I keep thinking was Meryl Streep in it?

0:43:030:43:06

-No, I think Natascha McElhone was in it.

-Yes, yes.

0:43:060:43:08

And I think we should say her. And Ed Morris was in it.

0:43:080:43:11

Yes. OK.

0:43:110:43:12

I'm just trying to think. I don't know any of the others,

0:43:120:43:15

because it's before my... I know Jim Carrey was definitely in it.

0:43:150:43:18

And US presidents, I don't know when he was...

0:43:180:43:20

I think we should go with John Adams,

0:43:200:43:22

I think John Adams is a very early US president, isn't he?

0:43:220:43:26

Yes. Shall we go with...? Who else was really early?

0:43:260:43:29

-Ten seconds left.

-Natascha McElhone...

0:43:290:43:32

Who's that geezer... Who's the geezer?

0:43:320:43:34

-Abraham Lincoln?

-Abraham Lincoln, but I think quite a lot of people will know that.

-Oh, yeah.

0:43:340:43:38

Perhaps...

0:43:380:43:40

-Oh.

-OK, that is your time up.

0:43:400:43:41

-What would you like to go for?

-Erm, we'll go for one from each, I think.

0:43:410:43:44

Yeah, yeah, yeah, one from each, go on.

0:43:440:43:46

So the first one I think probably a lot of people will know,

0:43:460:43:49

but we'll go for Breakfast at Tiffany's.

0:43:490:43:50

OK. Breakfast at Tiffany's.

0:43:500:43:52

The second one, we'll go for Natascha McElhone.

0:43:520:43:55

Natascha McElhone.

0:43:550:43:56

And the third one, we'll go for John Adams.

0:43:560:43:59

John Adams. Now, of those three,

0:43:590:44:00

which is your best shot at a Pointless answer?

0:44:000:44:02

If John Adams is correct, I think that probably might be.

0:44:020:44:06

OK, John Adams we put last?

0:44:060:44:08

Yes, but it might be wrong.

0:44:080:44:09

OK. Least likely to be pointless?

0:44:090:44:12

-Breakfast At Tiffany's.

-Breakfast At Tiffany's.

0:44:120:44:14

And then Natascha McElhone in the middle.

0:44:140:44:16

Let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then. And here they are.

0:44:160:44:19

We have got...

0:44:190:44:21

Well, three good answers on the board up there.

0:44:240:44:27

Let's hope one of those is pointless and will win that jackpot for your

0:44:270:44:30

charities. What are your charities, Katy? Who are you playing for?

0:44:300:44:33

I'm playing for Refuge, which provides a safe place for women

0:44:330:44:37

-and children running from domestic abuse.

-Very good indeed.

0:44:370:44:40

APPLAUSE Brian...

0:44:400:44:42

I'm playing for Barnardo's children's charity, just because...

0:44:430:44:47

-I think it just stands for itself, really, doesn't it?

-Yeah.

0:44:470:44:49

There you are. Very well done indeed. Two excellent charities.

0:44:490:44:52

Let's hope one of these answers is Pointless and will win that jackpot for your charities.

0:44:520:44:56

Very, very best of luck. Your first answer was Breakfast At Tiffany's.

0:44:560:44:59

In this case we were looking for novels by Truman Capote.

0:44:590:45:02

Only one of these answers has to be Pointless for you to win that jackpot.

0:45:020:45:05

But let's find out if this is the one.

0:45:050:45:07

Breakfast At Tiffany's, how many people said it?

0:45:070:45:09

If it's Pointless it will win you £2,500.

0:45:090:45:12

It's right.

0:45:160:45:17

All it has to be now is pointless.

0:45:170:45:19

Breakfast At Tiffany's now takes us down through the 40s,

0:45:190:45:22

to the 30s into the 20s.

0:45:220:45:24

Through the teens, into single figures.

0:45:240:45:26

Nine. OK, you'll stop at nine.

0:45:260:45:28

APPLAUSE

0:45:280:45:30

-Well done.

-Not bad.

0:45:300:45:31

-Amazing.

-Not bad.

0:45:310:45:34

That's a cracking score in normal gameplay.

0:45:340:45:36

Sadly, for this part of the show, we are only interested in pointless answers.

0:45:360:45:40

So, we turn to your next answer.

0:45:400:45:43

Natascha McElhone. In this case,

0:45:430:45:44

we were looking for cast members of The Truman Show.

0:45:440:45:47

If this is Pointless, it will win you £2,500 for your charities.

0:45:470:45:50

Let's find out how many people said Natascha McElhone.

0:45:500:45:53

It's right.

0:45:560:45:58

Your first answer was Breakfast At Tiffany's.

0:45:580:46:00

That took us all the way down to nine.

0:46:000:46:02

Natascha McElhone now takes us down through the 20s into the teens,

0:46:020:46:05

into single figures, passes nine, still going down, down it goes.

0:46:050:46:08

You've done it!

0:46:080:46:10

Very well done, indeed!

0:46:100:46:12

Oh, very well done, indeed.

0:46:140:46:17

Superb.

0:46:170:46:19

What about that? Congratulations.

0:46:210:46:23

Natascha McElhone was a pointless answer,

0:46:230:46:25

which means you take that jackpot home for your charities.

0:46:250:46:28

£2,500.

0:46:280:46:30

Very well done, indeed, Katy and Brian.

0:46:300:46:32

-Superb.

-Well done.

0:46:320:46:34

That was fabulous. Very, very well played.

0:46:360:46:38

Your final answer, John Adams, also a correct answer,

0:46:380:46:41

would have scored three points.

0:46:410:46:43

So thank you, Natascha McElhone.

0:46:430:46:45

Now, the different pointless answers in the different categories,

0:46:450:46:48

let's take a look at them. We'll start with Truman Capote novels and short stories.

0:46:480:46:52

In fact, every answer was a Pointless one here apart from

0:46:520:46:55

Breakfast at Tiffany's, A Tree Of Night,

0:46:550:46:56

A Christmas Memory and Music For Chameleons.

0:46:560:46:58

A few of them up there.

0:46:580:47:00

The cast of The Truman Show, again, very few scoring answers here.

0:47:000:47:03

Harry Shearer, better known for doing voice work on The Simpsons.

0:47:030:47:06

There's Natascha McElhone.

0:47:060:47:08

Every one a pointless answer there, apart from Jim Carey,

0:47:090:47:12

Ed Harris and Laura Linney.

0:47:120:47:14

I like, Brian, that you said "I know about The Truman Show," and then you

0:47:140:47:17

said "Jim Carrey's in it and I think Meryl Streep."

0:47:170:47:19

I was about to say Woody Harrelson as well,

0:47:250:47:27

but I was trying to work out... I've just got faces.

0:47:270:47:30

And loads and loads of pointless answers on the US presidents question.

0:47:310:47:36

Let's take a look. You could have had...

0:47:360:47:39

John Quincy Adams - different to John Adams.

0:47:390:47:42

You could have had Andrew Jackson, Andrew Johnson, Benjamin Harrison,

0:47:420:47:45

Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Garfield, Polk,

0:47:450:47:48

Madison, Tyler, Fillmore, Rutherford B Hayes,

0:47:480:47:50

Warren G Harding or Zachary Taylor.

0:47:500:47:52

Very well done if you got any of those, but congratulations.

0:47:520:47:54

It's been a lovely show, a terrific show.

0:47:540:47:56

And you are very worthy winners for two lovely charities.

0:47:560:47:59

-Thank you.

-Thanks very much, Richard,

0:47:590:48:01

and thanks once again to our winning players, Katy and Brian,

0:48:010:48:04

who go away with today's jackpot of £2,500 for their charities.

0:48:040:48:07

Very well done, indeed.

0:48:070:48:09

Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test

0:48:100:48:13

-on Pointless. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...

-Goodbye.

0:48:130:48:16

And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
