CHEERING | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
and a very warm welcome to this special '90s edition | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
of Pointless Celebrities, | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
the show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
And couple number one. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
I'm Colin Jackson, I broke the world record in 1993 | 0:00:41 | 0:00:45 | |
for the 110 metre hurdles, when winning my first world title. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
And I'm Roger Black and I ran in the '90s, | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
two-time world champion and Olympic silver medallist. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
Wahey! APPLAUSE | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
Couple number two. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
I'm Rowetta, from Happy Mondays, Hacienda Classical, | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
lots of house tunes in the '90s... | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
..and that's it. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:05 | |
Fantastic. I'm Tony Mortimer and I was in a boyband in the '90s, | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
formerly from East 17. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
Couple number three. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:17 | |
Hello, I'm Tim Vincent, I presented Blue Peter in the early '90s. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:22 | |
Hello, I'm Anna Ryder Richardson | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
and I was one of the designers on Changing Rooms. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
And finally, couple number four. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
Hello, I'm Kirsten O'Brien, I'm a presenter, | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
and I started on children's BBC in the '90s. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
I'm Chesney Hawkes, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:40 | |
you might remember a song I put out 25 years ago | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
called The One And Only, which I may or may not perform for you later on. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE | 0:01:47 | 0:01:48 | |
Thank you, all of you, a very warm welcome to Pointless. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
Great to have you all here. We'll get to chat to each of you | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
throughout the show as it goes along, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
Keeping Blur and Oasis off the top spot is our very own Spice Boy, | 0:01:59 | 0:02:03 | |
it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
Hiya. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:06 | |
-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING -Hi, everybody. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
Good evening. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
-Good evening to you. -Good evening. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
This is nice and this is so our era. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
-Isn't it? -We're very comfortably at home. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
A few people have played before, Tim and Kirsten, most notably. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
They both got through to a final, | 0:02:20 | 0:02:21 | |
so they're going to be tough to beat - | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
but look at that podium one. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
-Look at it. -Two of Britain's greatest ever athletes - | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
but quite often, when we have sporting shows, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
they're very competitive, | 0:02:29 | 0:02:30 | |
but when we have two sports people in a show against non-sportspeople, | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
the sports people tend to do rather well, don't they? | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
-By hook or by crook. -Yeah. Very impressive indeed. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
Thank you very much, Richard. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:40 | |
As usual, all of today's questions have been put to 100 people | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
before the show. Our contestants here are looking | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
for those all-important pointless answers. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
These are answers that none of our 100 people gave. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
Find one of those and we will add 250 quid to the jackpot. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
Now, as today's show is a celebrity special, | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
and each of our contestants is playing for a nominated charity, | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
we're going to start off with a jackpot of £2,500. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
There we are. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
So remember this, | 0:03:11 | 0:03:12 | |
the pair with the highest score at the end of each round | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
will be eliminated, | 0:03:15 | 0:03:16 | |
so do everything you can to keep your scores nice and low. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
Very, very best of luck to all four pairs. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
No conferring until we get to the head-to-head round. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
Our first category this evening is... | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
Famous People. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
Famous People. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
who's going to go second... THEY CONFER | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
..and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
OK. And the question concerns... | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
Famous Phils. Richard. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:45 | |
Yeah, so on each board we're going to give you seven clues | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
to famous people called Phil, or Philip, or Philippe. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
You just have to tell us who they are, please. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:51 | |
Seven on the first board, seven on the second, | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
14 in all to have a go at at home. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
-Very best of luck. -Thank you very much indeed, Richard. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
OK, so we are looking for these Famous Phils. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
First board of seven reads like this... | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
Let me read all those again... | 0:04:32 | 0:04:33 | |
-Colin. -Yeah. -Welcome back. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
-Thank you. -Welcome back. Now, hurdles, Colin... | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
I can't describe to you how scared I was when I first saw hurdles. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
-And I don't blame you. -They're just terrifying. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
They came up to about here on me. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
They are pretty high. He would've been all right. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
-He would've been fine. -Oh, yeah. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
You know, if I'd given it a go, | 0:05:21 | 0:05:22 | |
I probably would've beaten you, Colin, I suspect. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
Oh, but was it the same for you when you first saw a hurdle, | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
or was it love at first sight? | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
No, no, I was absolutely terrified - | 0:05:30 | 0:05:31 | |
but it was the only thing I was reasonably good at, | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
so I was encouraged to do it and I could run and I could jump, | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
so I thought, "You know what? Let's try and make this combination work." | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
It seems to work. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:40 | |
I occasionally could get to the end of a hurdles race, | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
and I could never quite believe it, it was a bit of a miracle. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
GENTLE LAUGHTER Now, Colin, these Phils, | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
how do we like 'em? | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
Yeah, there's a few on there that I know, | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
so we're going to go all the way down | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
to US golfer - | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
and I think it's, his surname is Nicholson... | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
Phil Nichols, says Colin. Phil Nichols, let's see if that's right. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
-Nicholson, Nicholson. -ROWETTA: -No, he said first answer. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
-First answer! -What was your first? -Nichols. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
-Nicholson. -Nicholson, you said. -Nichols... -You said Nicholson. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
-He said Nichols. -Nicholson. -No, he said Nichols. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
-Phil... Listen, Rowetta. -No. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
No. Lucky she's not an athlete. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
-I didn't hear that, I heard... -Phil Nicholson, says Colin. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said Phil Nicholson. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:25 | |
Ooh. ROWETTA LAUGHS | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
-Unfortunately. -Serves you right. -It's Mickelson, yeah. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
And to our sportsman, as well. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
I'm afraid 100 points is what you score there, Colin. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
But that's exactly the sort of answer someone would give | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
if someone was whispering the answer to him and slightly misheard it. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
-LAUGHTER ROWETTA: -Karma. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
There we are. Thank you very much indeed. Richard. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
-Rowetta! -Yes! -Welcome. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
-Thank you. -Wow. I mean, my goodness, | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
talk about being at the eye of the storm, | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
there you are, the Happy Mondays. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
-Yes. -You were right there. | 0:06:58 | 0:06:59 | |
Do you remember anything about the Happy Mondays? | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
We're still doing it. We reformed four years ago. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
-So you did. -Yes, we're still playing now, | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
and we're doing all the festivals and it's great. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
So are you recording new stuff, as well? | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
Yeah, hopefully at the end of the year, | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
and with The Hacienda Classical, which was also the '90s. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
Tell me about The Hacienda Classical. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
-We just played the Royal Albert Hall. -I know. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:16 | |
It was amazing, with a 70-piece orchestra and a gospel choir, | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
and I finished the whole show with You've Got The Love. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
It's the most beautiful experience I've ever had in singing. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
-It was great. -Real hair on the back of the neck stuff, there. -Yeah. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
Fantastic. Now, Rowetta, what would you like to go for on our board? | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
Well, being a United fan, I should go for that one, cos I know it. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
I do know a couple of the others. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
-Just... -Yeah. Get that out! -Going to go for Phil Neville, | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
the footballer who played alongside his brother Gary | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
-for Manchester United. -There we are. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
-There you go. -OK, very good. Phil Neville. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
Is it right? How many of our 100 people said it? | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
Loads. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
It's right. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:53 | |
Well, you passed our high score the minute that drop began. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
-Come on! -45 is where you end up Rowetta, well done. | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
-APPLAUSE -Get in! | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
United! | 0:08:02 | 0:08:03 | |
-RICHARD: -Well done, Rowetta. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
It won't all be Manchester United players, just so you know. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
Thanks very much, Richard. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
-Now, Anna. -Yeah. -Welcome to Pointless. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
Great to have you... I could talk to you about interiors, | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
-we could do that. -You could. -But I want to ask about zoos. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
-Yes. -You took over, you bought a zoo. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
I had a midlife crisis, yes. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
-Eight years ago - and bought a wildlife park. -Yeah! | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
You bought a wildlife... | 0:08:25 | 0:08:26 | |
Is there a sort of house there? Do you live on site? | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
There's a beautiful manor in there, | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
but we lived in a tiny little wooden house, | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
like Little House On The Prairie, but it was Little House In The Zoo, | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
-in the middle of the zoo, with a fence. -Wow. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
-Probably the most enclosed animals there. -So how did it start? | 0:08:37 | 0:08:41 | |
Were you flicking through a magazine and you saw, | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
"Oh, there's a zoo for sale"? | 0:08:43 | 0:08:44 | |
I overheard someone talking to my husband | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
about perhaps investing in a zoo and I just went... | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
-SHE GASPS -That's it! | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
-That's what I need to do. -Wow. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:52 | |
My children will have to rear little baby cubs | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
and we'll all be running around with bare feet, | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
and it will be like... | 0:08:57 | 0:08:58 | |
Not just "bear" feet, the whole bear costume, I should think. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
The whole bear thing! | 0:09:00 | 0:09:01 | |
We're outside all the time now, and yes, it's been really hard, | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
but I wouldn't change it. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:05 | |
That's great. Now... LAUGHTER | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
-Anna, the Phils. -Yes. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:09 | |
-The Phils. -The Phils. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
Well, luckily, I know one - | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
and, actually, I kind of know him. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:15 | |
So, the drummer and singer who reached number two | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
with the single In The Air Tonight, Phil Collins. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
Phil Collins, says Anna. Who you kind of know. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
-That's nice, you get to drop a name as well as score a point. -Yeah. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said Phil Collins. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
ANNA GASPS It's right. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
Ooh... | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
45 is our low score. 61's where you end up with Phil Collins. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
-Actually... -Not bad. Not bad at all. APPLAUSE | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
Phil Collins is one of only three recording artists in history | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
who sold over 100 million records as a soloist AND in a band. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:49 | |
Isn't that amazing? | 0:09:49 | 0:09:50 | |
The other two being Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
-That's a pretty illustrious list. -That is amazing. -Yeah. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
-Very impressive. -Yeah. -Thank you very much, Richard. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:59 | |
-Now, Chesney. -Hello. -Welcome. How nice to have you here. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
-It's so good to be here. -What's this? | 0:10:02 | 0:10:03 | |
You're going to play for us, are you, later? | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
Yeah, depending on if I get kicked out on the first round. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
Oh, we'd better look after you. Right. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
For Heaven's sake, The One And Only...! | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
-Yeah. -Had you any idea that it was going to be that kind of a hit? | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
-It was a monster. -No, none - but I was very young. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
-I was, like, 19 when I put that out. -Yeah. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
So, you know, when you're that young, you put a record out, | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
you think "This is what happens". | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
-So... -Did you therefore think, "I have a lifetime of number ones"? | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
Yes, of course. At that particular moment, yeah. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
-Go in and order a smart Italian car. -Yeah. Oh, I ordered a few. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
-One for each member of the family. -Ah! | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
But what a ride. It was from a film, wasn't it? | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
Yes, I starred in a film with Roger Daltrey called Buddy's Song. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
-Yeah. -Back then, yeah. So that was a good... Good fun. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
-You're now based in LA? -Yes, I moved there, like, four years ago now. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:50 | |
And you're songwriting, you're producing... | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
Yes, that's what I do. I develop young artists. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:54 | |
They come in the studio | 0:10:54 | 0:10:55 | |
and, you know, I kind of write and produce for different people. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
-I do my own stuff, as well. -Yeah. -I'm still touring, so yeah. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
That's really exciting. Very good. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
Chesney, you're the last person to have this board. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
If you wanted to you, could go through it | 0:11:06 | 0:11:07 | |
and fill in all those unanswered ones. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
Well, actually I'm going to go for the Buzzcocks, | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
cos I've actually been on that show, | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
and go for Phill Jupitus. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
Phill Jupitus, says Chesney. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:16 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Phill Jupitus. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
It's right. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
Well, 45 still our low score... till now. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
Look at that. Looking very good for The One And Only later. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
APPLAUSE 38 is where you end up. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
Very well played. Used to be a press officer for The Housemartins, | 0:11:33 | 0:11:37 | |
Phill Jupitus. Now, let's fill in the rest of this board. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
The golfer, Roger, I wonder if you know who the golfer is. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
I thought he said Phil Mickelson. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
-I thought it was... -Phil Mickelson is the right answer. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
Weird that, that you would, in your head... It's the M and the N. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:50 | |
-ROWETTA: -Close. -It's almost like it's been whispered to you. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:52 | |
-LAUGHTER -13 points for that. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
The chef? | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
-Er, Phil Vickery. -Phil Vickery. | 0:11:57 | 0:11:58 | |
Would've scored you 19 points. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
-The poet? -Philip Larkin. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:02 | |
Philip Larkin, he's the best answer on the board, 12 points for that. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
-And the actor? -Is Philip Glenister. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
Philip Glenister, yeah. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
And he would've scored you 25. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:10 | |
Thank you very much indeed. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
38. Well done, Chesney. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:16 | |
38, the lowest score of the pass. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
-Very happy. -I think we will see you in Round Two at this rate. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
Then 45 is where we find Rowetta and Tony. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
61 is where we find Anna and Tim, and then 100, Colin. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:27 | |
I know, I know. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
Roger, anything could happen in the next pass. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
We just need a low score from you to begin the game. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
I may not even get to answer! | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
We'll see. Anyway, very best of luck | 0:12:35 | 0:12:36 | |
with finding that low-scoring Phil. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
We'll come back down the line now. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:39 | |
Can the second players please step up to the podium? | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
OK, let's put seven more Phil clues up on the board, and here they are. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:48 | |
We have got... | 0:12:48 | 0:12:49 | |
I'm going to read all of those one last time... | 0:13:14 | 0:13:16 | |
-There we are. Kirsten, welcome back. -Thanks. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
Good to have you here. Now, you started, | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
-as you said, on children's television... -Yes. -..in the '90s. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
-You were up at Tyne Tees. -Very originally, yeah. -Yeah. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
I left university and I started work experience up at Tyne Tees | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
-on the news. -What was your department in the news? | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
I was just the person that rang the coastguard every hour, going - | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
-"Anything happened?" -Really? LAUGHTER | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
-"We're looking for a story." -I was very lowly at that point, yes. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
-But anyway, then on you went, SMart was your big thing. -Yeah. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
-The art show. -Yeah. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:11 | |
So I've now got a four-year-old and a house crammed full of art stuff | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
that I'm just waiting to inflict on him. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
-Just brilliant. -Yeah. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
He's a bit rubbish at the minute. He'll get good. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
KIRSTEN LAUGHS He'll get it, he'll get it. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
-He'd better. -Yes! -That glitter's not going anywhere. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
And also, you're doing comedy now. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
Well, yeah. I started doing stand-up, | 0:14:28 | 0:14:30 | |
and then I had my son and didn't feel funny any more, | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
-so I've stopped for a bit of a rest at the minute... -Yeah. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
-..but, yeah. -But you'll go back to that, presumably. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
Hopefully, yeah. It just sort of challenges the brain a bit, yeah. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
Absolutely. Anyway, listen, you're on 38. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:43 | |
That means 61 or less at this stage | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
-sees you cleanly through to the next round. -OK. -Go, Kirsten. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
I'm going to go for the author one, His Dark Materials. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:53 | |
I hope I've got this right and I've not blundered, | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
but I think it's Philip Pullman. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
Philip Pullman, says Kirsten. And here's your red line. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
If you get below that with Philip Pullman, | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
you're into Round Two. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Pullman. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
It's absolutely right... | 0:15:08 | 0:15:09 | |
..and you're through, very well done. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
-AUDIENCE: -Oh... | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
25 is your total. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:15 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
Taking your total up to 63. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:19 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
That's a strong team there on podium four, isn't it? | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
Yeah, Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spy Glass. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:27 | |
Thank you very much indeed. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
Now, Tim. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:31 | |
Welcome... Tim looks younger than when I last saw him. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
-LAUGHTER -Yes, I know. -I mean... | 0:15:34 | 0:15:35 | |
Is there a picture of Tim Vincent somewhere in an attic | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
-that's getting much, much older? -Just call me Dorian. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:40 | |
-Tim, back in the days of Blue Peter, when you were there... -Yes. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:44 | |
..you got to do all sorts of things. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:45 | |
-Yes. -You went up to in a Tornado... | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
-Yes. -Amazing things. What was your stand-out favourite? | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
Everybody always thinks the action adventure things | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
-are the most scary things to do on that show... -Yeah. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
..but actually, the scariest things are doing the make items, | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
where you've got eight cameras and you have to make something | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
-for three and a half minutes. It's like QVC now. -Yeah. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
You have to talk consistently in an animated way. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
You're now a huge star in the States, | 0:16:06 | 0:16:08 | |
very recognisable face over there, thanks to Access Hollywood. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
-Yeah. -How long have you been doing that? | 0:16:11 | 0:16:13 | |
I've been doing it for 11 years, I used to live in the States, | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
I'm back in London now, so they send me off to Cannes, | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
or wherever it is, and interview the stars. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
-You see, that's fun. -It is - but the way it works now, | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
-you usually get four minutes with Tom Cruise... -I see... | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
..three and a half minutes are taken up with him talking, | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
and then you get another question in. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
But it is fun, very glamorous. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:30 | |
Very nice. Tim, what would you like to go for? | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
You're on 61, the highest scorers are still Roger and Colin. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
So yes, 38 or less is your target. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:37 | |
I was going to go for Pullman, | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
er, but I think I'm going to do a side-line, | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
and go for something that I don't think anybody will know, | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
or very few people will know - | 0:16:44 | 0:16:45 | |
but I'm not sure how to pronounce it. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
It's the founding member and lead singer of Thin Lizzy. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
-Yes. -It's Lynot, or L-Y-N-O-T. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
Lynot? Something like that. But that's what I'm going for. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
-Phil Lynot. -Lynot. | 0:16:57 | 0:16:58 | |
-Phil Lynot. Let's see. -Not phonetically, but... | 0:16:58 | 0:17:01 | |
There we are. That's good enough. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:02 | |
There is your red line, let's see if Phil Lynot is right. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said it. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
It's right. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:10 | |
You're through. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
Look at that! Very good. APPLAUSE | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
You saved it. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:18 | |
32 is your score, 93 is your total. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:21 | |
Very well played, Tim. Yeah, Phil LIE-not, Phil LYN-not. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:24 | |
-Which would you say? -I think... | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
Definitely LYN-not. He's an old friend of my dad's. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
-Lynott. -Yes. -He's a friend of your dad's? -Yes. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:30 | |
-And what's the official word? -LYN-not. -Lynott? -Lynott, yeah. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:34 | |
I've always said LIE-nott. Bit that... I know nothing. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
Phil Lynott. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:38 | |
Listen, if Chesney Hawkes says it's Lynott, then it's Lynott. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:17:41 | 0:17:42 | |
OK, there we are. Thank you very much. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
Now then, Tony. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
-Welcome back. -Thank you... | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
Very good to have you here again. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:50 | |
-Now, East 17... -Yeah. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
How did that come about? Were you put together? | 0:17:52 | 0:17:55 | |
No, not at all. We all went to school together. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:57 | |
Aw, that's nice. It was an organic band. | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
Yeah, and I got the idea from a band | 0:17:59 | 0:18:01 | |
-that was called New Kids On The Block... -Yeah. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
..and I thought, I thought we could do a better version, | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
because you're young, you've got confidence, | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
you think crazy things at that age. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
So how long before it sort of took off, then? You were mates at school. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
We was mates at school, and then you'd sort of put an idea together | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
and finding the name of the band and stuff - | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
but once it got rolling, it went quick, | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
because I always thought there was a hole in the market at that point | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
for such a thing, cos New Kids had disappeared, | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
and then there was this big rave thing happening | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
with all these lovely people, | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
and I thought there was a hole in the market for a boyband. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
Whoever was going to fit into that was just going to go... | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
-MAKES CRACKLING SOUND And it did. -Yeah. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
Christmas number ones... Extraordinary. Extraordinary group. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
Yeah, crazy times... | 0:18:43 | 0:18:44 | |
And you're sort of still performing, aren't you? Without Brian. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
Yeah, I still perform. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:48 | |
I just do solo stuff now and write the odd album and stuff - | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
but I've calmed down, I don't do much now. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
-It's not the '90s. I can't do it like that any more. -No. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
Now, Tony, you're on 45, | 0:18:59 | 0:19:00 | |
which means 54 or less gets you into the next round. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:04 | |
OK. I'm going to go... My dad was a keen darts player, | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
so I'm going to go with Phil "The Power" Taylor. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:13 | |
Taylor. OK, here is your red line. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
If you can get below this with Taylor, | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
you are through to Round Two. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
Let's see how many people went for Phil "The Power" Taylor. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
-It's right. -Ooh... | 0:19:23 | 0:19:24 | |
-Yes. -Yes! -You stay with us. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:28 | |
I'm afraid Roger and Colin, less good news. 40 is your score. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:31 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:19:31 | 0:19:32 | |
-We've taken all your answers! -85 is your total. -Come on! | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
Well played, Tony. 16 world titles for Phil "The Power" Taylor. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:40 | |
He came on this show, didn't he? I beat him at darts, didn't I? | 0:19:40 | 0:19:42 | |
-Yeah. -We had a game of lowest score wins, | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
-cos it was Pointless, and I undercut him. -Yeah. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
-Furious. -He was... | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
Ooh, his dressing room was just in pieces, wasn't it? | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
-Yeah, yeah. -Ah... -Awful. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
LAUGHTER Thank you very much indeed. Roger... | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
-I've been here before. -Yeah. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
LAUGHTER Terrible deja vu. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
-Kriss Akabusi last time. -Yeah. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:03 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
It's Roger with hurdlers, is obviously... | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
-Don't bother with hurdlers. -Oh... Dear, oh, dear. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
-Now, Roger, you have 400 metres and 4X400 metres relay. -Yes. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
-Of the two... -Yes. -which did you prefer? | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
Oh, um, well, | 0:20:17 | 0:20:18 | |
ultimately the 400 metres was the most important, | 0:20:18 | 0:20:22 | |
cos that was your event, but I loved the relay. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
-Yeah. -I was always happy in a relay. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
If you said, "Go out and run now, individually, or in a team", | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
I'd run the relay every day. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:29 | |
A bit more pressure, I guess, with the relay... | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
There's pressure, cos you didn't want to let down the others, | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
but also you had others around you, so it was fun - | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
and we're still great mates, | 0:20:36 | 0:20:37 | |
and celebrating the 25th anniversary of being world champions together, | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
so you can share it forever. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
-That team, or series of teams... -Yeah. -..unbelievable. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
Championship after championship, | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
they would, you'd come up trumps against all the odds and it was... | 0:20:48 | 0:20:51 | |
You had people like Phil Brown running extraordinary last legs. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
It's just amazing. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
-What memories. -Yeah. -Imagine actually being in that race. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
I know. You didn't get to see it, cos you were just... | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
It was really good. You should watch it. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
It would be lovely to be in a Pointless race, actually, one day. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:21:08 | 0:21:09 | |
Now, Roger, I'm afraid, | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
I'm afraid the writing's on the wall even before... | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
The writing is on the wall, isn't it? | 0:21:15 | 0:21:16 | |
..but that board is all yours. If you felt like going through. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
I can't actually help out that much, actually, | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
because they were the ones I knew. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
Phillip Schofield is the television presenter. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
I don't know the French high wire artist | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
and I don't know the writer of science fiction. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
The lead singer of Human League, | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
but I don't know if I've got his name absolutely right. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
-Have a crack at it. -It's like a Mickelson-Nicholson one, really. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
It's Phil Oakley. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:39 | |
-Phil Oakley? Oakley. -Well, it's like that, isn't it? -Yeah. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
-I mean... -Shall we say that for fun? I mean... | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
-To even things up. -Is that your final answer? -Why not? | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
-No L. -No L. -Yeah. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
Happy Christmas to you, too. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:21:52 | 0:21:54 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said Phil Oakley. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
-No red line for you, as you're the highest scorers. -Yeah. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
Bad luck. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:02 | |
Do you know, the thing about athletes is we were good at running. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
We were terrible at English and spelling. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
-Terrible at spelling. -I'm afraid that scores you 100 points, | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
takes your total up to a nice even 200, though. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
I told you, whenever you have sportspeople on the show, | 0:22:12 | 0:22:15 | |
they just... No, hold on a minute. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
-LAUGHTER -No, Oakey. -Oakey. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
Oakey, I'm afraid. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
It would've been a good score, though. 17... | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
It was the right one to go for, | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
cos you knew Phillip Schofield, but it's a bigger scorer. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
That would've scored you 58. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:29 | |
The other two are good answers. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
The writer of science fiction novels... | 0:22:31 | 0:22:32 | |
-Philip K Dick. -And that would've scored you 12. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
This is a pointless answer, this last one. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
-I'm going to guess it's Philippe. -It is Philippe. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
If you've ever watched, there's a documentary called Man On Wire, | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
which is about this thing, it's unbelievable. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:43 | |
It's so brilliant, this documentary. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |
You must watch it. Man On Wire, it's called. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:47 | |
And he's called Philippe Petit. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
-FRENCH ACCENT -Zero point. Nil point for Philippe. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:52 | |
Thank you very much indeed, Richard. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
So we are at the end of our first round | 0:22:54 | 0:22:56 | |
and the pair we have to say goodbye to, I'm so sorry, Roger and Colin. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
Now I've got to go and rub your names off the trophy. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:02 | |
-It's just ridiculous. -Rub away. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
Yeah. It's been great having you here, albeit brief, | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
but please come and play again. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:08 | |
-Roger and Colin, brilliant. Thanks so much. -Thank you. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
Right, for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
And so we have dispatched one of our pairs. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
-Aw. -That's just the cruel world of Pointless I'm afraid. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
We have to say goodbye to another pair after this round. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
Chesney and Kirsten, teachers pets over there. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
Well done. Lovely low score. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:32 | |
Kirsten, lowest score of the round with Philip Pullman. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
-Was it? -Yeah, very good indeed. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:37 | |
Well done, everyone. We made it through our Philips round. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:39 | |
Best of luck to all three pairs. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:41 | |
Our category for Round Two this evening... | 0:23:41 | 0:23:43 | |
Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
who's going to go second? | 0:23:48 | 0:23:49 | |
Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
OK. Let's find out what the question is. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:57 | |
Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many... | 0:23:57 | 0:24:01 | |
Capital cities that begin with any of these letters, | 0:24:08 | 0:24:10 | |
B, I, G, T, O, W or N. Richard. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 | |
Yes, simply looking for the capital of any country of the world | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
beginning with one of those seven letters, please. As always, | 0:24:16 | 0:24:19 | |
by country we mean a sovereign state | 0:24:19 | 0:24:20 | |
that's a member of the UN in its own right. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:22 | |
Thank you very much indeed. So, Rowetta. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
Yes. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
Yes... | 0:24:27 | 0:24:28 | |
How are you on your capital cities? | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
I'm OK, as long as they don't begin with B, I, G, T, O, W or N. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:35 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:24:35 | 0:24:36 | |
Yeah. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:37 | |
Oh, I want to say one risky, but, oh... | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
-ALEXANDER LAUGHS -What should I do? | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
-I'm going to go safe. Safe. -Do whatever you want... | 0:24:42 | 0:24:45 | |
-Berlin. -Ooh. -Berlin. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
Berlin. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Berlin. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:51 | |
-It's right. -Brilliant. -It's not too bad. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
-Oh. -Yeah! -Not too bad. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:57 | |
APPLAUSE 52. This is not bad, Rowetta. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
I was going to... Oh, I'm not saying what I was going to say. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:02 | |
It's got the most zoo animals in the world of any city, Berlin. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:07 | |
There you go. OK. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:09 | |
-Anna. -Now... -Yes. -..the way I got to mine | 0:25:09 | 0:25:13 | |
was for a second I thought they ALL had to be in the word. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:17 | |
-Agh! -I know! -That would be something, wouldn't it? | 0:25:17 | 0:25:19 | |
So now I'm thinking, should I maybe not use that? | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
They just have to begin with one of those. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
I know that now. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
GENTLE LAUGHTER | 0:25:26 | 0:25:27 | |
-Erm, I'm going to say it anyway. -Yeah? | 0:25:27 | 0:25:30 | |
-I'm sorry, Tim. -Go on. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:32 | |
It's Bridgetown. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:34 | |
-Bridgetown, says Anna. -Do you see how I got that? -I know. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:37 | |
-I see what you did there. -They are all in there. -They are. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:41 | |
But then lots of people might have done that. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
That's just impressive. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:44 | |
Is it right, though? | 0:25:44 | 0:25:45 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people said Bridgetown. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:47 | |
It's right. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:50 | |
52 is our only score at this point. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:52 | |
-AUDIENCE: -Ooh... | 0:25:52 | 0:25:54 | |
-Yeah! -Look at that! | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING | 0:25:57 | 0:25:58 | |
-That's mad! -One. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
-That's bonkers. -Anna Ryder Richardson, that is superb. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
One for Bridgetown. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:10 | |
Capital of Barbados, Bridgetown. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
That's where I'd open a zoo if I was going to open a zoo. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:14 | |
-Oh, yes. -Yeah. -Barbados. -Yeah. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:16 | |
-That would be nice, wouldn't it? -Yeah. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:18 | |
-My kind of zoo. Now, Kirsten. -Yes. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:20 | |
Kirsten. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:21 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:26:21 | 0:26:23 | |
Our champion low scorers. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:24 | |
-Oh... Not this time. -Oh, no. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
I have potential for egg on my face here, cos I'm half Norwegian. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:31 | |
ALEXANDER GASPS | 0:26:31 | 0:26:33 | |
So I'm going to go Oslo. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:35 | |
-Oslo. -Yeah. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
Oslo. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:38 | |
Let us see how many of our 100 people went for Oslo. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
It's right. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:45 | |
-AUDIENCE: -Ooh... | 0:26:47 | 0:26:49 | |
Not bad. 35 for Oslo. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
There we are! Superb. APPLAUSE | 0:26:51 | 0:26:52 | |
Oh, gosh. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:56 | |
Yeah, absolutely well done. Capital city of Norway. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:58 | |
Lovely. Well, we're halfway through the round. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
Let's take a quick look at those scores. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
-One, look at that, one for Bridgetown. -Wow. -Superb. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:05 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:27:05 | 0:27:06 | |
Anna and Tim, | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
I think you might make it through to the head-to-head. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
I don't know, but at this stage | 0:27:10 | 0:27:11 | |
it looks like Kirsten and Chesney might also. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:14 | |
It's looking very good for that performance of The One And Only. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:16 | |
-Oh, yeah, yeah, absolutely. -Very... -I'd better start practising. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:19 | |
-Yeah. Rowetta... -I know. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
Listen, you're not far ahead, but you are ahead. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:24 | |
Tony, get thinking of a nice low-scoring answer | 0:27:24 | 0:27:27 | |
-and that might keep you in the game. -OK. -Good luck with that. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
We'll come back down the line now. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:31 | |
Can the second players please step up to the podium? | 0:27:31 | 0:27:33 | |
OK, now, Chesney, remember, it's capital cities. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:38 | |
Any capital cities that begin with one of these letters... | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
I'm pretty stumped on this one. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:44 | |
Erm, I'm going to go for Niger. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:48 | |
Niger. Or "Ni-gere". | 0:27:48 | 0:27:50 | |
OK, well, let's see if that's right. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:52 | |
There is a red line for you. It's quite low. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:54 | |
Should you get below that, you are straight through to Round Three. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:59 | |
Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Niger. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 | |
-Oh! -Sorry. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:07 | |
Bad luck. It may not be the last of those. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:10 | |
It may not. That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 135. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:14 | |
-Yeah, it's a country, I'm afraid, not a capital city... -Yeah. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:17 | |
-..but it begins with N. -Yeah, true. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:19 | |
The alphabet stuff is much better than Roger and Colin. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:22 | |
-Thanks for that. -Thank you very much indeed. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |
-Tim. -Well... | 0:28:25 | 0:28:27 | |
Here's the good news, you're in the head-to-head. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:30 | |
It does not matter what you score. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:31 | |
Even if you scored 100 points, | 0:28:31 | 0:28:32 | |
-you wouldn't overtake the high-scorers. -OK, well... | 0:28:32 | 0:28:35 | |
OK, are you ready? | 0:28:35 | 0:28:36 | |
-Yeah. -I'm going to go for Washington State. | 0:28:36 | 0:28:39 | |
Washington State. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:41 | |
Tim, Washington State. Well, let's see what happens when we say... | 0:28:41 | 0:28:44 | |
There's no red line, it doesn't matter, you're through anyway. | 0:28:44 | 0:28:47 | |
-OK. -This is a formality. | 0:28:47 | 0:28:48 | |
Let's see how many people said Washington State. Is it right? | 0:28:48 | 0:28:51 | |
-Oh! -No, I'm sorry, Tim. | 0:28:54 | 0:28:56 | |
That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 101, | 0:28:56 | 0:28:59 | |
but you're through anyway. It's fine. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:00 | |
Again, great work with the initial. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:02 | |
-Thank you. -I'll give all the correct answers at the end of the pass. | 0:29:02 | 0:29:06 | |
Thank you very much indeed, Richard. | 0:29:06 | 0:29:08 | |
Now then, Tony. | 0:29:08 | 0:29:10 | |
There you are on 52. | 0:29:10 | 0:29:11 | |
The high-scorers on 135 are Chesney and Kirsten. | 0:29:11 | 0:29:14 | |
82 or less keeps you in the game. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:16 | |
-OK. -No pressure. -There's no pressure at all. -Come on. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:19 | |
I've got two, but I don't know if they're the capitals. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:23 | |
-So... -Oh. | 0:29:23 | 0:29:24 | |
I'm going to go the one that I think is more likely to be a capital. | 0:29:24 | 0:29:29 | |
Geneva. | 0:29:29 | 0:29:30 | |
-Geneva. -Yeah. -Says Tony. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:33 | |
Geneva. | 0:29:33 | 0:29:35 | |
Here is your red line. It's nice and high. | 0:29:35 | 0:29:37 | |
ALEXANDER GASPS | 0:29:37 | 0:29:38 | |
Could be a performance of The One And Only | 0:29:38 | 0:29:40 | |
hanging in the balance here. | 0:29:40 | 0:29:41 | |
Geneva. Is it right? | 0:29:41 | 0:29:43 | |
Is it a capital city? How many people said it, if it is? | 0:29:43 | 0:29:46 | |
-Oh! -Oh, no, Tony. | 0:29:49 | 0:29:52 | |
-Oh, yes, Chesney and Kirsten. -Nice place, though. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:54 | |
Oh, no, Tony and Rowetta. I'm afraid... | 0:29:54 | 0:29:57 | |
I would've said Washington without the State. | 0:29:57 | 0:29:59 | |
..takes your total to 152. | 0:29:59 | 0:30:00 | |
-Let's send a message to the Swiss, shall we? -Yes. | 0:30:00 | 0:30:03 | |
Unlucky, capital of Switzerland... | 0:30:03 | 0:30:04 | |
-That's what I was going to go for! -..it would've been a great answer. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:07 | |
-Bern would've been the correct answer. -That was the risky one. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:10 | |
-Three points, that would've scored... -That's my risky one. | 0:30:10 | 0:30:13 | |
Washington, of course Washington DC, rather than Washington State. | 0:30:13 | 0:30:16 | |
Washington would've scored you 58 points. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:18 | |
It would've been a big scorer - and Niger, | 0:30:18 | 0:30:21 | |
the capital of Niger is Niamey, which was a pointless answer, | 0:30:21 | 0:30:23 | |
-actually, because it begins with N, as well. -It was... | 0:30:23 | 0:30:25 | |
A terrific second pass, everybody. | 0:30:25 | 0:30:28 | |
Very, very well done. Let's take a look at the pointless answers. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:32 | |
Well done if you said any of these... | 0:30:32 | 0:30:33 | |
Regular Pointless viewers would've got a few of these... | 0:30:33 | 0:30:36 | |
Guatemala City, that's Guatemala. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:39 | |
Nassau, which is the Bahamas. | 0:30:39 | 0:30:41 | |
There's Niamey, which is Niger. | 0:30:41 | 0:30:43 | |
Tegucigalpa, which is Honduras. | 0:30:44 | 0:30:46 | |
Tehran, which is Iran. | 0:30:46 | 0:30:48 | |
Thimphu, which is Bhutan. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:49 | |
And Windhoek, which is Namibia. | 0:30:49 | 0:30:52 | |
You also could've had Baku, | 0:30:52 | 0:30:54 | |
Azerbaijan, you could've had Bishkek, | 0:30:54 | 0:30:56 | |
you could've had Bissau, Brazzaville, Bujumbura, | 0:30:56 | 0:30:58 | |
all sorts of pointless answers there. | 0:30:58 | 0:31:00 | |
Let's take a look at the top three scorers, | 0:31:00 | 0:31:02 | |
the ones that most of our 100 people said. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:04 | |
We've heard all of the top answers. 58 for Washington DC. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:12 | |
Thanks very much, Richard. So at the end of our second round, | 0:31:12 | 0:31:14 | |
I'm so sorry, Tony and Rowetta, we have to say goodbye to you. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:17 | |
-Thank you. -Such a treat having you here. | 0:31:17 | 0:31:19 | |
Thank you so much for playing, Tony and Rowetta. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:21 | |
CHEERING | 0:31:21 | 0:31:24 | |
But for Anna and Tim, Chesney and Kirsten, | 0:31:26 | 0:31:28 | |
it's now time for our head-to-head. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:30 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:31:30 | 0:31:31 | |
Congratulations, Anna and Tim, Chesney and Kirsten. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:36 | |
You're now one step closer to the final | 0:31:36 | 0:31:38 | |
and a chance to play for our jackpot, | 0:31:38 | 0:31:40 | |
which currently stands at £2,500. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:42 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:31:42 | 0:31:43 | |
This is the bit where we decide who goes through to the final | 0:31:46 | 0:31:49 | |
to play for that jackpot, and we do it by making you go head-to-head. | 0:31:49 | 0:31:52 | |
Basically you can start playing as a team now. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:53 | |
You can chat before you give your answers, | 0:31:53 | 0:31:55 | |
and the first pair to win two questions | 0:31:55 | 0:31:57 | |
will be playing for that jackpot. | 0:31:57 | 0:31:58 | |
Who knows what's going to happen? | 0:31:58 | 0:32:00 | |
It's going to be very close, I suspect. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:01 | |
Anyway, best of luck to both pairs. Let's play head-to-head. | 0:32:01 | 0:32:04 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:32:04 | 0:32:06 | |
Here is your first question - and it concerns... | 0:32:08 | 0:32:11 | |
-Ooh, no. -Christ's sake... | 0:32:12 | 0:32:14 | |
-Richard. -We're going to show you five pictures now | 0:32:14 | 0:32:17 | |
of fictional TV doctors. | 0:32:17 | 0:32:18 | |
Can you tell us the name of these characters, please? | 0:32:18 | 0:32:21 | |
Thank you very much - and here they come. | 0:32:21 | 0:32:23 | |
We have got... | 0:32:23 | 0:32:25 | |
And... | 0:32:40 | 0:32:42 | |
There we are. Five doctors from television. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:49 | |
What are their names? | 0:32:49 | 0:32:50 | |
Anna and Tim, you're our low scorers, so you will go first. | 0:32:50 | 0:32:53 | |
-Too risky. -We know three. -I only know one. | 0:32:53 | 0:32:56 | |
It's Tim, he knows. | 0:32:58 | 0:32:59 | |
-I think we should go for E, cos it's safe, for now. -No! | 0:32:59 | 0:33:02 | |
-Well, I'm not... -OK! Do, then. | 0:33:02 | 0:33:04 | |
-Ooh! -And... | 0:33:04 | 0:33:06 | |
Watson. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:08 | |
-You're going to say Dr Watson. -Yes. -Dr Watson, say Anna and Tim. | 0:33:08 | 0:33:13 | |
So, for E. | 0:33:13 | 0:33:14 | |
Now then, Chesney and Kirsten, that board is all yours. | 0:33:14 | 0:33:17 | |
Do you want to talk us through these doctors? Pretend doctors? | 0:33:17 | 0:33:20 | |
We're in a real pickle, cos we think that's Scully at the top, | 0:33:20 | 0:33:23 | |
but we don't remember her being a doctor. | 0:33:23 | 0:33:26 | |
-Yeah. -So it could be her in something else. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:29 | |
Not a clue who that dude is. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:30 | |
-Can't remember what George's character's name was. -No. | 0:33:30 | 0:33:33 | |
-So we're going for C. -Yeah. | 0:33:33 | 0:33:36 | |
-Geller. -Dr Geller. -Dr Ross Geller. -Dr Ross Geller. | 0:33:36 | 0:33:38 | |
So we have John Watson and we have Ross Geller. | 0:33:38 | 0:33:41 | |
Anna and Tim said Dr Watson. | 0:33:41 | 0:33:43 | |
Let's see if that's right for E. Let's see how many | 0:33:43 | 0:33:45 | |
-of our 100 people said it. -Everybody. | 0:33:45 | 0:33:47 | |
ANNA LAUGHS | 0:33:47 | 0:33:49 | |
-It's right. -Oh. | 0:33:49 | 0:33:50 | |
-49. -Ooh... -APPLAUSE | 0:33:52 | 0:33:55 | |
49. Now, Chesney and Kirsten have gone for Ross Geller, | 0:33:58 | 0:34:03 | |
for C. Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Dr Geller. | 0:34:03 | 0:34:06 | |
It's right. | 0:34:09 | 0:34:10 | |
Wow! | 0:34:13 | 0:34:14 | |
What about... Wow! 25, there's a surprise result. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:18 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:34:18 | 0:34:19 | |
Dr Ross Geller wins the point for you, | 0:34:21 | 0:34:23 | |
which means it's looking very good for The One And Only later - | 0:34:23 | 0:34:26 | |
and after one question, Chesney and Kirsten are up 1-0. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:29 | |
Very well played. A is Agent Scully, Dana Scully, she's a doctor. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:33 | |
Erm, 53 points for that, though. Biggest scorer. | 0:34:33 | 0:34:36 | |
B is Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang Theory. | 0:34:38 | 0:34:41 | |
Would've scored you 30, played by Jim Parsons. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:44 | |
And the best answer is George Clooney's character in ER. | 0:34:44 | 0:34:47 | |
-It feels like the sort of answer you should know... -Yeah. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:49 | |
..but I couldn't bring it to mind. It's Doug Ross. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:52 | |
-Wow! -Would've scored you six points. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:55 | |
Well done if you said that. | 0:34:55 | 0:34:56 | |
There we are. | 0:34:56 | 0:34:57 | |
Well, here comes your second question. | 0:34:57 | 0:35:00 | |
Anna and Tim, you have to win this one. | 0:35:00 | 0:35:02 | |
But Chesney and Kirsten get to answer it first, so good luck. | 0:35:02 | 0:35:04 | |
Our second question today is all about... | 0:35:04 | 0:35:07 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:35:09 | 0:35:10 | |
-Do animals talk? -Animal Sayings. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:12 | |
We're going to show you some clues now to sayings | 0:35:12 | 0:35:15 | |
that involve the words of animals. | 0:35:15 | 0:35:16 | |
We're also going to give you alternate letters of those sayings. | 0:35:16 | 0:35:19 | |
Can you give us the most obscure of these, please? | 0:35:19 | 0:35:21 | |
OK, let's reveal our five animal sayings, | 0:35:21 | 0:35:24 | |
and here they are... | 0:35:24 | 0:35:25 | |
Let me read those again... | 0:35:49 | 0:35:51 | |
Chesney and Kirsten, you'll go first. | 0:36:08 | 0:36:10 | |
We know quite a few of them, actually. | 0:36:10 | 0:36:13 | |
-Yeah. -Can't quite work out that top one, but... -No. | 0:36:13 | 0:36:16 | |
-Shall we go for the bottom one? -Do you want to go...? OK. | 0:36:16 | 0:36:19 | |
OK, so we're going to go for final performance | 0:36:19 | 0:36:22 | |
or activity of a person's career. | 0:36:22 | 0:36:24 | |
-Er, swan song. -Swan song, say Chesney and Kirsten. | 0:36:24 | 0:36:27 | |
Now then, Anna and Tim, it's over to you. | 0:36:27 | 0:36:29 | |
-Talk us through the board. -Well, we know them all. -We do, actually. | 0:36:29 | 0:36:32 | |
We're trying to work out which one other people would know the least. | 0:36:32 | 0:36:35 | |
-Yeah. So, let's do it. Crocodile tears. -Ah! -Red herring. | 0:36:35 | 0:36:38 | |
Guinea pig. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:40 | |
And as the crow flies. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:42 | |
-So... -So which one's the least used phrase now? | 0:36:42 | 0:36:44 | |
Red herring or as the crow flies. | 0:36:44 | 0:36:46 | |
-Let's go for red herring. -Let's do it. | 0:36:46 | 0:36:48 | |
-Red herring, please. -OK. Red herring, say Anna and Tim. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:51 | |
We have swan song and we have red herring. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:53 | |
Now, Chesney and Kirsten went for swan song at the bottom there. | 0:36:53 | 0:36:56 | |
Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it. | 0:36:56 | 0:36:59 | |
It's right. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:03 | |
What chance has it got? | 0:37:03 | 0:37:05 | |
-Ooh... -Ooh! | 0:37:05 | 0:37:06 | |
APPLAUSE 62 for swan song. | 0:37:06 | 0:37:08 | |
ALEXANDER MUTTERS | 0:37:08 | 0:37:10 | |
-Anna and Tim, meanwhile, have gone for red herring. -Yes. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:13 | |
Let's see if that amounts to anything, or if it's just a thing. | 0:37:13 | 0:37:17 | |
A thing. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:20 | |
It... Ooh! | 0:37:22 | 0:37:23 | |
APPLAUSE 80 for red herring, which means... | 0:37:23 | 0:37:26 | |
-Ah! -Aw... | 0:37:26 | 0:37:28 | |
You ARE The One And Only! What about that? After only two questions. | 0:37:28 | 0:37:31 | |
I've never heard that before! | 0:37:31 | 0:37:32 | |
Chesney and Kirsten, you're going through to the final. | 0:37:32 | 0:37:35 | |
-2-0. Very well done. -Yeah, very well done. | 0:37:35 | 0:37:37 | |
As the crow flies would've seen you win the points. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:40 | |
As the crow flies would've scored you 51. | 0:37:40 | 0:37:42 | |
Um, guinea pig is the biggest answer. | 0:37:42 | 0:37:46 | |
Guinea pig would've scored you 85... | 0:37:46 | 0:37:49 | |
..and crocodile tears also would've won you the point, | 0:37:49 | 0:37:51 | |
-it's the best answer on the board. -No. -Yeah, 43 points. | 0:37:51 | 0:37:54 | |
-Ridiculous. -There we are. Well, thank you very much. | 0:37:54 | 0:37:57 | |
The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, | 0:37:57 | 0:38:00 | |
it's our low scorers, Anna and Tim. | 0:38:00 | 0:38:01 | |
-I'm so sorry. -We enjoyed ourselves. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:03 | |
Well, so did we. It's been lovely having you on. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:05 | |
Please come and play again - but meantime, thank you so much. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:08 | |
-Anna and Tim. -Aw... -APPLAUSE | 0:38:08 | 0:38:11 | |
Do you want us to sing now? | 0:38:11 | 0:38:12 | |
But for Chesney and Kirsten, it's now time for our Pointless final. | 0:38:12 | 0:38:15 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:38:15 | 0:38:17 | |
Look at that! Congratulations, Chesney and Kirsten. | 0:38:19 | 0:38:21 | |
You have wrestled your opponents to the floor | 0:38:21 | 0:38:24 | |
and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy. | 0:38:24 | 0:38:27 | |
You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot | 0:38:33 | 0:38:35 | |
for your charities. | 0:38:35 | 0:38:36 | |
At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at... | 0:38:36 | 0:38:39 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:38:39 | 0:38:40 | |
Well, that was seemingly effortless. | 0:38:42 | 0:38:45 | |
In you came, every round, | 0:38:45 | 0:38:46 | |
I don't think you were challenged at all at any point, were you? | 0:38:46 | 0:38:49 | |
My heart rate is increasing. | 0:38:49 | 0:38:50 | |
I thought I would relax into it, but I'm more tense now. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:53 | |
That's because you're late for your train. | 0:38:53 | 0:38:55 | |
Listen, we'll get you home, don't you worry, love. | 0:38:57 | 0:38:59 | |
So you get to choose your category in this final round | 0:38:59 | 0:39:01 | |
from the four we put up on the board, | 0:39:01 | 0:39:03 | |
so let's hope there's something up there | 0:39:03 | 0:39:04 | |
that you both like the look of. Today's selection reads like this. | 0:39:04 | 0:39:07 | |
I'm going to... | 0:39:16 | 0:39:17 | |
-Do you know what? Any of these. -No, don't say that! | 0:39:17 | 0:39:20 | |
Shall we go for Dreams, because we don't know what it is? | 0:39:21 | 0:39:24 | |
Just because we have no idea. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:26 | |
-Yeah, that's a good plan. -You're going to go for Dreams? | 0:39:26 | 0:39:29 | |
Brilliant! Follow them. | 0:39:29 | 0:39:30 | |
OK, very best of luck. Three very different questions here. | 0:39:30 | 0:39:33 | |
Hopefully one of these will suit you. | 0:39:33 | 0:39:35 | |
We are looking for the name of any studio album by REM. | 0:39:35 | 0:39:38 | |
Rapid eye movement, when you dream. | 0:39:39 | 0:39:41 | |
We are looking for the name of any cast member | 0:39:41 | 0:39:44 | |
of the film Field Of Dreams, according to IMDb. | 0:39:44 | 0:39:48 | |
Or we are looking for the name of any mortal | 0:39:48 | 0:39:50 | |
in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Shakespeare's play. | 0:39:50 | 0:39:53 | |
So any studio album by REM, | 0:39:53 | 0:39:55 | |
anyone who acted in Field Of Dreams, | 0:39:55 | 0:39:57 | |
or any mortal in A Midsummer Night's Dream. | 0:39:57 | 0:40:00 | |
-Very best of luck. -Thanks very much indeed. | 0:40:00 | 0:40:02 | |
As always, you've got up to one minute | 0:40:02 | 0:40:03 | |
to come up with three answers, | 0:40:03 | 0:40:05 | |
and all you need to win that jackpot | 0:40:05 | 0:40:07 | |
is for just one of your answers to be pointless. Are you ready? | 0:40:07 | 0:40:10 | |
-I think so... -No! What are you going to do? | 0:40:10 | 0:40:12 | |
I don't know. I'm going to put 60 seconds up on the clock. | 0:40:12 | 0:40:14 | |
60 seconds are going up on the clock, whether you like it or not. | 0:40:14 | 0:40:17 | |
Your time starts now. | 0:40:17 | 0:40:19 | |
-We're conferring now? -Yes. | 0:40:19 | 0:40:20 | |
In 60 seconds, though. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:22 | |
Did you say Automatic For The People? | 0:40:23 | 0:40:24 | |
Automatic For The People, I know one REM. | 0:40:24 | 0:40:26 | |
Field Of Dreams. Kevin Costner film. | 0:40:26 | 0:40:28 | |
Is it? | 0:40:28 | 0:40:29 | |
I can't remember the other cast members. | 0:40:29 | 0:40:31 | |
Maybe Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins, I think. | 0:40:31 | 0:40:35 | |
Or was that Bull Durham? | 0:40:35 | 0:40:36 | |
That could be Bull Durham. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:37 | |
Midsummer Night's Dream. | 0:40:39 | 0:40:40 | |
I can only think of Puck. | 0:40:40 | 0:40:42 | |
I don't think he's mortal. | 0:40:42 | 0:40:43 | |
I don't think he was mortal. | 0:40:43 | 0:40:46 | |
You know what? The studio albums by REM, | 0:40:46 | 0:40:49 | |
everyone's going to know Automatic For The People, | 0:40:49 | 0:40:52 | |
-but I can't think of any other albums. -I can't. | 0:40:52 | 0:40:55 | |
REM. | 0:40:56 | 0:40:57 | |
-Oh, gosh. -It's a tough one. | 0:40:58 | 0:41:01 | |
This is where you blank when the timer's in. | 0:41:01 | 0:41:03 | |
We've got three answers, anyway. | 0:41:04 | 0:41:06 | |
We'll have to go with Puck. | 0:41:06 | 0:41:08 | |
Yeah, but Puck, I don't think is mortal. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:10 | |
All right, do you want to go for another of your cast | 0:41:10 | 0:41:12 | |
in Field Of Dreams? | 0:41:12 | 0:41:14 | |
No, I don't, because I'm not sure | 0:41:14 | 0:41:16 | |
if it really was Field Of Dreams. | 0:41:16 | 0:41:19 | |
OK, I'm afraid that's your minute up. | 0:41:19 | 0:41:21 | |
I'm so sorry. What are your three answers? | 0:41:21 | 0:41:24 | |
REM, the album is Automatic For The People. | 0:41:24 | 0:41:26 | |
Automatic For The People. | 0:41:26 | 0:41:28 | |
Cast of Field Of Dreams, we have to go for Kevin Costner, | 0:41:28 | 0:41:30 | |
-because I can't remember the others. -OK. | 0:41:30 | 0:41:32 | |
-Kevin Costner. -Yes, Kevin Costner. | 0:41:32 | 0:41:34 | |
And we're going to go for Puck, | 0:41:35 | 0:41:36 | |
-because we can't think of any others. -And Puck. | 0:41:36 | 0:41:38 | |
Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer? | 0:41:38 | 0:41:40 | |
I'd say REM, would you? | 0:41:40 | 0:41:42 | |
-Yeah. -Automatic For The People goes last. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:44 | |
Least likely to be pointless? | 0:41:44 | 0:41:47 | |
-Kevin Costner. -OK, well, | 0:41:47 | 0:41:48 | |
let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then, | 0:41:48 | 0:41:51 | |
and here they are. | 0:41:51 | 0:41:52 | |
We have got Kevin Costner, | 0:41:52 | 0:41:54 | |
we've got Puck, and we've got Automatic For The People. | 0:41:54 | 0:41:56 | |
Very best of luck. Now, three good answers on the board. | 0:41:56 | 0:41:58 | |
One of those might be pointless, | 0:41:58 | 0:42:00 | |
might win the jackpot for your charities. | 0:42:00 | 0:42:02 | |
What charities are you playing for? Chesney, you first. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:04 | |
-I'm going for Missing People. -OK. Kirsten, how about you? | 0:42:04 | 0:42:07 | |
-Teesside Hospice. -Very good. | 0:42:07 | 0:42:10 | |
Two excellent charities there. | 0:42:14 | 0:42:15 | |
Let's hope one of these answers wins that jackpot for those charities. | 0:42:15 | 0:42:19 | |
Your first answer was Kevin Costner. | 0:42:19 | 0:42:21 | |
In this case, we were looking for the cast members of Field Of Dreams. | 0:42:21 | 0:42:24 | |
It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot, | 0:42:24 | 0:42:27 | |
so let's find out for £2,500, how many people said Kevin Costner. | 0:42:27 | 0:42:30 | |
-Well, it's right. -Good! | 0:42:33 | 0:42:35 | |
All it has to do is go down to 0, and you will leave with that jackpot | 0:42:35 | 0:42:38 | |
for your charities. Kevin Costner now takes us down... | 0:42:38 | 0:42:42 | |
to 33. | 0:42:42 | 0:42:43 | |
Not a bad score, but I'm afraid not a pointless answer, | 0:42:46 | 0:42:49 | |
which means we have to move on to your next answer, which was Puck. | 0:42:49 | 0:42:52 | |
In this case, we were looking for mortals | 0:42:52 | 0:42:54 | |
from A Midsummer Night's Dream. | 0:42:54 | 0:42:55 | |
If it is pointless, it will win you £2,500. | 0:42:55 | 0:42:58 | |
Let's see how many people said Puck. Is it right? | 0:42:58 | 0:43:00 | |
No! As you guessed, not a mortal, I'm afraid, | 0:43:04 | 0:43:08 | |
which means it's all riding on the third and final answer, | 0:43:08 | 0:43:10 | |
which is Automatic For The People. | 0:43:10 | 0:43:12 | |
Now, in this case, we were looking for REM studio albums. | 0:43:12 | 0:43:14 | |
It has to be right, which we're pretty sure it is. | 0:43:14 | 0:43:17 | |
It then has to be pointless. | 0:43:17 | 0:43:18 | |
If it is that, it will win you £2,500 for your charities. | 0:43:19 | 0:43:22 | |
How many people said Automatic For The People? | 0:43:22 | 0:43:24 | |
Well, it's right. Your first answer, | 0:43:28 | 0:43:30 | |
Kevin Costner, took us all the way down to 33. | 0:43:30 | 0:43:32 | |
Puck, your second answer, was incorrect. | 0:43:32 | 0:43:34 | |
Automatic For The People passes 33. | 0:43:35 | 0:43:36 | |
Down we go into single figures. Still going down. | 0:43:36 | 0:43:39 | |
-Oh, 5! -Oh! -Good score, though. | 0:43:39 | 0:43:41 | |
That's a great score. | 0:43:42 | 0:43:44 | |
Fabulous score there. | 0:43:44 | 0:43:45 | |
Sadly, though, you didn't manage to find | 0:43:46 | 0:43:48 | |
that all-important pointless answer, | 0:43:48 | 0:43:50 | |
-so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500. -OK. | 0:43:50 | 0:43:53 | |
However, as today's show is a celebrity special, | 0:43:53 | 0:43:56 | |
we are going to donate £500 to each celebrity pair for their charities, | 0:43:56 | 0:44:00 | |
-so there we are. -Wonderful. -It's been fabulous having you on. | 0:44:00 | 0:44:02 | |
Well done winning a second trophy, Kirsten - | 0:44:02 | 0:44:05 | |
and you get a Pointless trophy as well, Chesney. | 0:44:05 | 0:44:07 | |
Great to have you here. Thanks very much, Chesney and Kirsten. | 0:44:07 | 0:44:10 | |
Yes, unlucky. Very, very well played. | 0:44:15 | 0:44:17 | |
Lots and lots of those REM albums are pointless. | 0:44:17 | 0:44:19 | |
I know you will have some of these at home. | 0:44:19 | 0:44:21 | |
Some brilliant albums here. Let's start with REM. | 0:44:21 | 0:44:24 | |
All brilliant albums. I recommend all of those. | 0:44:29 | 0:44:31 | |
Also Around The Sun, Collapse Into Now, Green, a terrific album by REM. | 0:44:31 | 0:44:35 | |
New Adventures In Hi-Fi, Reckoning, Reveal, and Up. | 0:44:35 | 0:44:38 | |
All of those were pointless answers. | 0:44:38 | 0:44:40 | |
Out Of Time was the biggest scorer there. | 0:44:40 | 0:44:42 | |
Cast of Field Of Dreams. | 0:44:42 | 0:44:43 | |
I cannot watch this film without crying. | 0:44:43 | 0:44:46 | |
Even reading these names is going to set me off. | 0:44:47 | 0:44:49 | |
Everybody apart from Kevin Costner, Ray Liotta, and James Earl Jones. | 0:44:52 | 0:44:57 | |
Everybody else was a pointless answer. | 0:44:57 | 0:44:59 | |
Mortals in A Midsummer Night's Dream. | 0:44:59 | 0:45:01 | |
You also could have had Francis Flute. | 0:45:05 | 0:45:07 | |
Very well done if you got any of those at home, | 0:45:07 | 0:45:09 | |
and unlucky in the studio. | 0:45:09 | 0:45:10 | |
-That was fun, wasn't it? -That WAS fun. | 0:45:10 | 0:45:12 | |
Sorry not to see the jackpot taken. | 0:45:12 | 0:45:14 | |
Yeah. Thanks, Richard. Thank you so much, Chesney and Kirsten. | 0:45:14 | 0:45:17 | |
It's been wonderful having you here, and very, very well done indeed. | 0:45:17 | 0:45:20 | |
Chesney and Kirsten! | 0:45:20 | 0:45:21 | |
Join us next time when we will be putting more obscure knowledge | 0:45:25 | 0:45:27 | |
to the test on Pointless. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard... | 0:45:27 | 0:45:30 | |
-Goodbye. -..and it's goodbye from me - | 0:45:30 | 0:45:32 | |
but before we go, singing us out with The One And Only, | 0:45:32 | 0:45:35 | |
it's Chesney Hawkes. | 0:45:35 | 0:45:36 | |
# I am the one and only. # | 0:45:42 | 0:45:46 | |
OK, let me see your hands in the air, come on. | 0:45:46 | 0:45:49 | |
# Call me, call me by my name | 0:46:01 | 0:46:06 | |
# Or call me by my number | 0:46:07 | 0:46:11 | |
# Put me through | 0:46:11 | 0:46:13 | |
# I'll still be doing it the way I do it | 0:46:13 | 0:46:17 | |
# And yet you try to make me forget | 0:46:17 | 0:46:23 | |
# Who I really am | 0:46:23 | 0:46:26 | |
# Don't tell me, I know best | 0:46:26 | 0:46:30 | |
# I'm not the same as all the rest | 0:46:30 | 0:46:34 | |
# I am the one and only | 0:46:34 | 0:46:37 | |
# Nobody I'd rather be | 0:46:39 | 0:46:42 | |
# I am the one and only | 0:46:42 | 0:46:45 | |
# You can't take that away from me | 0:46:46 | 0:46:49 | |
# I can't wear this uniform | 0:46:50 | 0:46:54 | |
# Without some compromises | 0:46:54 | 0:46:58 | |
# Because you'll find out that we come | 0:46:58 | 0:47:02 | |
# In different shapes and sizes | 0:47:02 | 0:47:05 | |
# No-one can be myself like I can | 0:47:05 | 0:47:11 | |
# For this job, I'm the best man | 0:47:11 | 0:47:15 | |
# And while this may be true, | 0:47:15 | 0:47:18 | |
# You are the one and only you | 0:47:18 | 0:47:22 | |
# I am the one and only | 0:47:38 | 0:47:41 | |
# Nobody I'd rather be | 0:47:43 | 0:47:46 | |
# I am the one and only | 0:47:46 | 0:47:50 | |
# You can't take that away from me | 0:47:50 | 0:47:54 | |
# I am the one and only (The one and only) | 0:47:54 | 0:48:00 | |
# Nobody I'd rather be | 0:48:00 | 0:48:01 | |
# I am the one and only (The one and only) | 0:48:01 | 0:48:05 | |
# You can't take that away from me. # | 0:48:05 | 0:48:10 | |

Thank you! | 0:48:22 | 0:48:24 |
