Noughties Pointless Celebrities

APPLAUSE

Thank you very much indeed.

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

to this special noughties edition of Pointless Celebrities,

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

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

And couple number one.

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

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

Couple number two.

Hello, I'm Susie Amy.

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

Hi, I'm Dave Spinx,

and some of you might remember me from EastEnders.

I played Keith Miller.

Couple number three.

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

and recently retired professional heavyweight boxer.

Hi, I'm Gail Emms.

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

And finally, couple number four.

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

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

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

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

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

each of you throughout the show as it goes along.

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

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

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

Hiya. Hi, everybody.

APPLAUSE

-Good evening to you.

-Good evening.

I am really looking forward to this one.

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

It is going to be intensely competitive.

-Isn't it?

-I would say.

-Yeah.

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

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

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

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

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

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

-Yeah, yeah.

-But more impressive than that,

more impressive than an Olympic Gold, Audley,

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

Not just a Pointless trophy holder -

he's actually won the jackpot, as well.

-MURMURS

-I know, everybody.

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

-is one thing.

-To actually win the jackpot...

-No-one has done it twice, David.

-Oh, right.

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

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

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

-You never know.

-You never know

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

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

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

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

-Ah, brilliant.

-Gardening.

-Gardening!

-18th-century Etruscan pottery, Round Two.

-Oh!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

APPLAUSE

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

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

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

as low as you dare. Very best of luck.

Our first category this evening is...

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

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

who's going to go second?

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

OK, and the question concerns...

The top 100 books that defined the noughties. Richard.

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

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

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

the initials of the authors of those books.

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

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

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

Very best of luck.

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

We have got...

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

-Thank you.

-Welcome to Pointless.

-Thank you very much.

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

-Yes.

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

-one-woman shows.

-Mm-hm.

-You've done serious things, as well.

You worked behind the camera to start with,

started in TV production.

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

-a long time ago.

-Get out of town!

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

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

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

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

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

-"That isn't the right answer."

-Yes. Oh, no!

I wasn't sacked, which is quite astonishing.

Now, Katy, tell me about Brenda Monk.

Yes. Brenda Monk is a novel...

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

a woman who becomes a stand-up comedian,

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

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

and is sort of navigating all that fame has brought.

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

-you've been learning over the years.

-Yeah. Exactly, yeah.

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

-I wouldn't have thought.

-Yeah, some of them are...

I think, are fairly obvious, and popular.

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

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

and I think that's Stieg Larsson.

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

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

It's right.

-26.

-All right.

26. Very well done. APPLAUSE

-A good start to the show.

-Well played, Katy. Tha...

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

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

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

Thank you very much.

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

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

-Yeah.

-I obviously knew I was on with Dave,

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

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

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

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

Did you do any research for that?

Did you go and meet some actual footballers?

I didn't meet any actual footballers.

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

-for the role.

-No.

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

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

So a really, really long time ago.

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

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

-I've never dated a footballer, no.

-There we are.

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

when people sort of ask, I say,

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

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

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

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

There are so many reality shows down the wives theme.

Yeah. Absolutely. Now, Susie, popular books.

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

has been taken.

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

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

-which is Russell Brand.

-Russell Brand, says Susie.

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

It's right.

41. Not too bad. APPLAUSE

Not bad at all. 41 for Russell Brand.

Well played, Susie. Russell Brand.

He once auditioned for the boyband 5ive.

XANDER GASPS I did not know that!

-Yeah, there you go.

-Is that in My Booky Wook?

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

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

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

-Did she?

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

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

-A very funny man.

-A very bright man.

-Audley, welcome to Pointless.

-Welcome.

-Good to have you here.

-Thank you.

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

You're the toughest man in the world.

-I mean, what happens after that?

-Erm...

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

And then you turn professional,

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

-Yeah.

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

15 years, had a long run.

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

-Almost!

-European Title. Commonwealth Title.

But I didn't quite get the World Title.

-You can't top Olympic gold, though.

-No, no.

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

Now most sports, I watch.

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

Boxing - I reckon it hurts a bit.

Does it?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

-No.

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

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

-Yeah.

So, Audley, popular books and their authors.

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

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

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

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

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

It is Barack Obama.

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

You pass 41.

You pass 26.

-Look at that - 9, Audley!

-Oh, my God! Awesome.

APPLAUSE Fabulous. Single-figure score.

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

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

-Yeah, it covers his early years.

-Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

Now, Lisa, welcome to Pointless.

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

-It is indeed.

-It is?

-A lot of people are shocked by it,

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

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

-We are going as far as Australia and Dubai.

-Fantastic.

So, yeah, it's really good.

The garage scene is back.

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

I have indeed. I have. I have.

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

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

We're actually into festivals, as well.

The Shard Festival is my next festival.

Have you organised it? Have you put it together?

-I've organised it. I have indeed.

-You've curated...

-What's it called? The Shark Festival?

-The Shard Festival.

The Shard Festival!

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

-Let's do that.

-OK.

Now, Lisa, this board is all yours.

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

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

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

and that is Being Jordan, Katie Price.

Oh, not Kevin Pietersen. Oh.

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

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

It's not going to happen.

-Oh!

-It's right.

Ooh, look, 62. Not bad. APPLAUSE

Not bad. 62 for Katie Price.

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

Five autobiographies already at the age of 37.

-And counting.

-Can you believe that?

-I can!

-She's a very diligent, hard worker.

-She is.

-She loves nothing more.

She works in the London library.

She finds a quiet corner in the reading room.

You can see her with her glasses.

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

-Into her own life?

-Into... Well, you know,

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

the secondary historical references, are absolutely...

She looks up Peter Andre in the Encyclopaedia Britannica.

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

Yeah. Now, let's fill in these.

Everyone avoided the top one, well done.

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

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

Nigella Lawson would have scored 65.

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

-Hilary Mantel.

-Hilary Mantel.

And that would have scored you 19.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Then 41 is where we find Suzy and David.

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

You're not that far ahead, actually.

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

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

-You'd better!

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

-voice.

-Amazing.

-It's just a brilliant voice.

-You should get me in for voice- overs.

-You should record stuff!

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

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

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

We've got...

I'll read those all one last time.

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

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

Good to have you here.

-How are you doing, sir?

-I'm very well, thank you.

And delighted to be welcoming you.

How many people are in So Solid Crew?

Initially, it started with 21,

and it kind of just grew and grew and grew.

Every one person knew another ten other people.

So, everyone just gravitated towards us.

Roughly how many do you think now?

We're talking in the hundreds.

Maybe thousands.

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

-Maybe millions.

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

Yeah, definitely more of a collective, yeah.

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

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

-I mean, that dictates the size of venue.

-We fill the stage.

We definitely fill the stage.

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

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

-Has to be double-decker.

-We could do that for the Shark Festival.

-That's a really good idea, yeah.

-Now, Romeo, there you are.

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

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

I haven't actually read many of these books.

It's going to be a tough one.

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

Erm...

-Simon Murray?

-Simon Murray.

-Twilight.

-For Twilight. Simon Murray, OK.

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

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

100.

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

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

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

-It's not too bad.

-Not Simon Murray, Romeo,

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

LAUGHTER

-You remember the guy, right?

-He remembered!

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

-We must.

-Don't you think?

-Definitely.

-I mean, just amazing.

-Yeah.

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

A lot better.

Thanks, Richard, thanks, Romeo.

-Gail.

-Hello.

-Welcome to Pointless. Good to have you.

-So, badminton.

-Yeah.

-When did you stop playing badminton?

I stopped after the 2008 Olympics

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

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

so we're struggling with women.

-So, you're back in?

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

-What does that feel like?

-I'm 40 next year,

so it's hard because my body...

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

So it's interesting.

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

-Yeah.

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

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

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

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

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

-got a fantastic score in the first pass.

-Brilliant.

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

But let's have a good answer.

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

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

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

-Alastair Campbell.

-Alastair Campbell, says Gail,

for The Blair Years.

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

went with Alastair Campbell.

-Oh, 29.

-29.

APPLAUSE

Very nicely done.

38 is your total.

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

-I think they do.

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

He must have just been sitting on that.

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

-drawer.

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

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

-No, no.

-Nothing.

OK. Now then, David.

Welcome back. Good to have you.

-Now before EastEnders...

-Yeah.

-Before you were Mr Miller,

you were a roadie for Hawkwind and Motorhead.

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

How many years did you do it for?

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

so I was sort of tossing between the two.

-Yeah.

-So, great days.

-I mean, great days.

-I mean, great days.

And you were touring massive venues, as well?

Yeah, big-time, big crowds.

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

-were we having fun.

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

Oh, yeah, yeah.

-Absolutely.

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

It doesn't matter what you score here.

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

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

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

Let's see how many people said Dan Brown.

69.

Takes your total up to 110.

Yeah, very well played, safe and sound.

He has written the programme for Shark Fest.

Oh. That is...

It is called, don't dare not laugh.

The Da Finci Code.

LAUGHTER

Thank you very much, indeed.

Now then, Brian, welcome.

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

-Thank you very much.

-What were you doing before Big Brother?

Well, I was basically a data-entry clerk.

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

straight out of college, I was 19.

I was 19, straight out of college into

a credit card company and then straight into Big Brother.

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

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

What are you doing at the moment, Brian?

Believe it or not, writing.

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

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

-I do a bit of writing.

-What are you writing?

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

-I have to keep it quiet.

-OK.

Are you writing Katie Price's sixth autobiography?

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

I'm Katie Price's ghost-writer.

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

-Brilliant.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

because I have to be that person -

The Return Of The Naked Chef, Jamie Oliver.

Jamie Oliver says Brian, no red line,

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

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

-It's right.

-Oh!

There we are, 74 for Jamie Oliver.

100 is your total.

Very well played, Brian.

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

29½ minutes.

Exactly, isn't that amazing?

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

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

It would have scored you 15.

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

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

-Ian McEwan.

-Ian McEwan, 11 points.

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

-Ashley Cole?

-Ashley Cole.

-Ashley is the answer.

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

Once you've got Alistair Campbell in there,

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

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

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

it's our So Solid fourth podium over there.

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

-Thank you.

-Thanks a lot.

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

-just far too soon to be sending you away.

-Next time round.

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

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

I can definitely come down with one of them.

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

-keep us going for nearly 75 years.

-One for each series, there you go.

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

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

And now we're down to three pairs.

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

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

But let's not worry about that just yet.

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

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

-that was fantastic.

-Thank you, sir.

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

our category for Round Two this evening is Star Wars.

-Oh, no.

-Star Wars. It's funny,

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

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

People at home will be happy.

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

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

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

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

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

as many actors who have appeared in more than one

Star Wars film as they could.

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

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

appearing in more than one of the original releases

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

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

when they were first released, please.

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

-Hello.

-Brian.

-I was deep in thought there.

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

Yeah, chapter five.

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

-Ideally, who's been in them.

-Somebody who's been in 'em.

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

was in Star Wars?

I can't confer. OK.

I wouldn't be any use anyway!

-Yeah.

-You've got to take my first answer?

-I kind of have to take your first answer.

-That's Hayden Christiansen.

Hayden Christiansen, says Brian.

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

-Oh!

-It's right!

-Fantastic.

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

Hayden Christiansen!

There you go, Brian.

-Four for Hayden Christiansen.

-Oh, my God.

-That's good work, Brian.

-He plays Anakin Skywalker in episodes two and three.

-Get in.

-Very well done, great answer.

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

-David.

-Hi.

Who would you like to go for?

I would like to go for Ewan McGregor.

-Ewan McGregor?

-Yeah.

-Says David.

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

It's right.

Not bad. Look at that, down to 16.

Ewan McGregor, 16.

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

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

Thanks very much, indeed.

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

Can I call a friend?

Different show!

I don't know what to say.

Oh!

Ah!

-OK.

-All right.

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

William Shatner.

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

William Shatner?

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

-Audley...

-No?

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

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

Audley, I'm sorry.

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

there's a Trek-Wars confusion there.

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

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

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

Every Star Wars and Star Trek fan will be furious.

The good news is, good luck against you.

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

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

-I couldn't believe that.

-You and Katy, I would say,

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

Then up to 16, David and Susie.

Very well done, indeed.

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

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

It's cost you 100 points.

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

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

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

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

-So, Gail.

-Mm.

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

-and loads of pointless answers out there.

-Yeah. I mean, I had Hayden Christiansen.

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

-Did you?

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

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

-Give it a go.

-I'm going to go...

..Warwick Davis.

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

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

Absolutely right.

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

The second lowest score of the round.

114.

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

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

Wicket, most famously, the Ewok.

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

-That's amazing, isn't it?

-It's cool, isn't it?

-I know.

And, apparently, all the people working on it

took a pretty dim view of it.

Everyone thought it was just going to bomb.

-The first one?

-Yeah.

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

-Yeah, true.

-Remember that?

-Yeah.

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

-I stopped myself.

-Well done. It's very unlike you.

Mmm.

OK, now, Susie.

-Susie.

-I wish you had given away an answer.

I am not a Star Wars fan.

Gail, Audley, you heard what she said.

I am not at all.

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

OK.

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

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

I'm going to go with Harrison Ford.

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

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

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

Can you?

Yes, you can.

73 for Harrison Ford.

Good enough. It takes your total up to 89.

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

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

Thanks very much, indeed. Now, Katy.

-Yes.

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

Talk us through some of your thoughts,

and maybe you could winkle out a pointless answer?

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

I've got to thank Brian.

I don't want to mess it up.

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

but I'm not sure of his name.

I'm going to say Kenny Rogers.

Kenny Rogers?

-Yes.

-Kenny Rogers, says Katy.

-Kenny Rogers? Kenny Rogers.

-Have I just invented someone?

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

I think I've just made someone up.

He very much exists, Kenny Rogers.

-The country singer?

-Oh, no, OK.

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

-That's the one.

-Islands In The Stream.

Now, after this, after this humiliation,

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

You might have meant Kenny Rogers.

It might be one of those things.

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

Dammit!

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

No!

Oh, no!

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

-I know, I'm sorry.

That's OK.

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

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

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

OK, there we are. 104 your total.

Yeah, not Kenny Rogers, I'm afraid.

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

-it's Kenny Baker.

-Kenny Baker.

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

That's where the confusion comes.

And an ex-education minister, Kenny Baker.

-No, it is the same person.

-Really?

Yes, Kenneth Baker, the ex-education minister,

he acts under the name Kenny Baker.

-A wonderful musician, as well.

-He's R2-D2.

And Geoffrey Howe was C-3PO.

LAUGHTER

There you go.

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

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

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

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

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

Joel Edgerton, who was Owen.

Kenneth Colley you could have had,

also could had Oliver Ford Davies.

Pernilla August or Temuera Morrison who played Jango Fett.

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

the ones that most of our 100 people said.

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

Carrie Fisher, 37.

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

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

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

to Gail and Audley. I'm so sorry.

Low scorer from the first round.

High scorer in the last, I'm afraid.

In the last - in your last, anyway.

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

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

APPLAUSE

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

Congratulations, David and Susie, Katy and Brian.

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

jackpot, which currently stands

at £2,500.

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

goes through to the final to play for that jackpot.

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

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

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

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

Pointless history - in fact, in Pointless history -

to win the jackpot twice.

It could happen, is all I'm saying.

-No pressure, then.

-A lot of pressure.

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

-Yes, fingers crossed.

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

So anything could happen in this round.

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

Here is your first question and it concerns...

Railway stations. Richard?

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

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

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

OK, so where are these railway stations?

And, we have got...

There we are, five city railway stations.

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

so you will go first.

OK.

-Let's take D.

-Yeah.

-We've got to go for it.

-Yeah.

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

Edinburgh, say David and Susie.

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

Do you want to talk us through those other cities?

OK, the first one we think is Paris,

the second one we think is New York.

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

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

-That's true.

-Shall we risk it?

-Yeah.

-OK, can we risk C, Antwerp?

Antwerp, say Katy and Brian for C.

So we have Edinburgh and we have Antwerp.

David and Susie said Edinburgh for D.

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

There we are, Waverley Station.

26.

APPLAUSE

Not bad at all.

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

Let see how many of our 100 people said Antwerp.

Is it right, though?

It is right, it is Antwerp.

-Oh, my God!

-Look at that.

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

Antwerp, very well done, indeed.

A gutsy call but it paid off.

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

-Very nicely done, very well played.

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

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

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

Now, Paris is the first one.

Paris would have scored you 77.

New York, of course.

93 that would have scored you.

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

thinking...

..it could be anything.

And E is Berlin.

And that would have scored you 31.

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

So here comes your second question.

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

-Yes.

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

Our second question is all about...

TV shows that share their title with a song.

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

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

OK, thanks very much indeed.

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

I'm going to read those one last time.

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

-WHISPERS:

-The first one I think is Life On Mars.

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

-1970s, it's definitely...

-OK.

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

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

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

Talk us through it.

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

The bottom one will be The Young Ones.

Do we know the chat show?

-The spoof one, ah-ha!

-Oh, yeah.

How are we not remembering the name of it?

-Let's go for The Young Ones.

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

OK, The Young Ones, say David and Susie.

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

Katy and Brian went for Life On Mars.

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

It's right.

27 for Life On Mars.

David and Susie meanwhile have gone for The Young Ones.

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

It's right.

52.

Which means very well done, Katy and Brian.

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

A terrific performance. The A Team was right.

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

The A Team would have scored you 58.

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

-It's Knowing Me, Knowing You.

-Knowing Me, Knowing you.

-Ah-ha.

And that would have scored you 38.

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

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

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

-Come Fly With Me was superb.

-Come Fly With Me was the name of it.

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

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

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

-I think it was me.

-Oh, dear.

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

-A brilliant performance across the show.

-Thank you.

-Lovely low scores from you

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

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

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

-Thank you so much.

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

-Thank you.

-APPLAUSE

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

Well, congratulations, Katy and Brian.

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

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

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

There we are.

Well, we've had Stieg Larsson from you,

we've had Hayden Christensen from you,

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

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

Very, very impressive indeed.

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

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

Oh, gosh.

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

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

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

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

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

-OK.

-But what do you think?

-Shall we go Truman?

-Yes.

-Just cos...

-OK.

Listen, Brian wants to go with Truman.

I'm just going to say...

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

OK.

They want to go for Truman.

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

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

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

-We are looking for the title of any

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

Just the novels and short stories.

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

-Yes!

-The 1998 film, according to IMDb.

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

before Harry S Truman.

So...

-Very best of luck.

-There we are.

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

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

-Yes.

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

There they are, your time starts now!

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

-Anything but the first one.

-I just know Breakfast At Tiffany's

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

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

-When was he...

-Tell me about The Truman Show, though?

The Truman Show, obviously, was set...

-It's like Big Brother...

-No, I mean tell me the cast members.

Oh, the cast members. Jim Carrey, obviously.

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

-No, I think Natascha McElhone was in it.

-Yes, yes.

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

Yes. OK.

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

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

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

I think we should go with John Adams,

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

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

-Ten seconds left.

-Natascha McElhone...

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

-Abraham Lincoln?

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

-Oh, yeah.

Perhaps...

-Oh.

-OK, that is your time up.

-What would you like to go for?

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

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

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

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

OK. Breakfast at Tiffany's.

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

Natascha McElhone.

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

John Adams. Now, of those three,

which is your best shot at a Pointless answer?

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

OK, John Adams we put last?

Yes, but it might be wrong.

OK. Least likely to be pointless?

-Breakfast At Tiffany's.

-Breakfast At Tiffany's.

And then Natascha McElhone in the middle.

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

We have got...

Well, three good answers on the board up there.

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

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

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

-and children running from domestic abuse.

-Very good indeed.

APPLAUSE Brian...

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

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

-Yeah.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It's right.

All it has to be now is pointless.

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

to the 30s into the 20s.

Through the teens, into single figures.

Nine. OK, you'll stop at nine.

APPLAUSE

-Well done.

-Not bad.

-Amazing.

-Not bad.

That's a cracking score in normal gameplay.

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

So, we turn to your next answer.

Natascha McElhone. In this case,

we were looking for cast members of The Truman Show.

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

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

It's right.

Your first answer was Breakfast At Tiffany's.

That took us all the way down to nine.

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

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

You've done it!

Very well done, indeed!

Oh, very well done, indeed.

Superb.

What about that? Congratulations.

Natascha McElhone was a pointless answer,

which means you take that jackpot home for your charities.

£2,500.

Very well done, indeed, Katy and Brian.

-Superb.

-Well done.

That was fabulous. Very, very well played.

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

would have scored three points.

So thank you, Natascha McElhone.

Now, the different pointless answers in the different categories,

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

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

Breakfast at Tiffany's, A Tree Of Night,

A Christmas Memory and Music For Chameleons.

A few of them up there.

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

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

There's Natascha McElhone.

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

Ed Harris and Laura Linney.

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

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

I was about to say Woody Harrelson as well,

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

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

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

John Quincy Adams - different to John Adams.

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

Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Garfield, Polk,

Madison, Tyler, Fillmore, Rutherford B Hayes,

Warren G Harding or Zachary Taylor.

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

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

And you are very worthy winners for two lovely charities.

-Thank you.

-Thanks very much, Richard,

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

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

Very well done, indeed.

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

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

-Goodbye.

And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
