0:00:57 > 0:00:59Couple number two.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02I'm Kerry Godliman and I'm an actor and a comedian.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05I'm Miles Jupp and I'm also an actor and comedian.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07APPLAUSE
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Couple number three.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Hello, my name's Jenny Eclair.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15And I am a writer and a performer
0:01:15 > 0:01:17and I'm a massive fan of Squeeze.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19LAUGHTER
0:01:19 > 0:01:22I'm Linda Robson. I'm a Loose Woman and an actress.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24APPLAUSE
0:01:27 > 0:01:29And finally, couple number four.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31I'm the lovely Debbie McGee,
0:01:31 > 0:01:33and I love being squeezed.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38And I'm Angelos Epithemiou and I am the CEO of BP.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Thank you all very much indeed. A very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47It's great to have you all here. We'll get to chat to each of you
0:01:47 > 0:01:48throughout the show as it goes along,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53He's friends with all the A-listers.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Campbell, Stewart, McGowan...
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Sorry, Alistairs. He's friends with all the Alistairs.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Hiya. Hey, everybody. Good evening.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Good evening to you.- Good evening.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- Blimey, what a line-up.- I know!
0:02:09 > 0:02:13I mean, no offence to podium two, but how classy is podium one?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Goodness me!
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Bob and Chris, what an absolute treat, eh?- Yeah.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19That's amazing. Lovely to have you both.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22And Bob's been on before, of course. Did rather well as well.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Now, talking of people who've been on before,
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Linda and Jenny have both been on before.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Now, they came on together... - Yep.- It wasn't our finest hour.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31..did very badly. They've both since come on separately with other people
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- and done much better. - Yeah, she brings me down.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36And then... And then, for some reason,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- they've decided to come back on together again.- I know.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- A bit tactically weird.- We like each other!- Well, that's good.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43I'm worried about Angelos on podium four because, you know,
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- he's a loose cannon, so we put him in safe...- Don't worry about me.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Don't worry about me, please. Just relax.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Everything's going to be fine, Richard.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- If I'm honest with you, I'm a little bit worried about you.- OK.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58What's top of your list of concerns?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- Your height.- Oh, yeah, yeah, no, look, that's fair enough.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04You're quite an imposing character. And I'm also worried a little bit
0:03:04 > 0:03:06about what you're wearing behind that desk.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Hey, this sarong is no-one's business but mine.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12It's like having two alpha males,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14like, rutting horns together, isn't it?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16But we've put Angelos in very, very capable hands
0:03:16 > 0:03:18- with Debbie McGee there.- Absolutely.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Debbie, we need you to take control a little bit on podium four, please.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23But genuinely, I'm looking forward to this so much.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- It's going to be an absolute cracker.- Thanks very much.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Now, as usual, all today's questions
0:03:26 > 0:03:29have been put to 100 people before the show. Our contestants
0:03:29 > 0:03:31are looking for those all-important pointless answers.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34These are the answers that none of our 100 people gave.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Find one of those, and we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Now, as today's show is a celebrity special and each of our celebrities
0:03:39 > 0:03:41is playing for a nominated charity,
0:03:41 > 0:03:45we are going to start off with a jackpot of £2,500. There it is.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51And, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57So, there's only one rule you have to remember and it is this -
0:03:57 > 0:04:01the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:04:01 > 0:04:04will be eliminated, so make sure your scores are nice and low.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Very, very best of luck to all four pairs.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Our first category this evening is...
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:04:14 > 0:04:16who's going to go second?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25OK, and the question concerns...
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- Question Songs, Richard. - Yeah, on each board,
0:04:31 > 0:04:33we're going to show you the titles of seven songs,
0:04:33 > 0:04:35each of which have a title which is in the form of a question,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37but we've missed out a word from each of those titles.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Can you tell us what that word is, please?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41There's going to be seven on the first board,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43seven on the second board. 14 in all to have a go at at home.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48OK, so what are the missing words from these question song titles?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Our first board reads like this. We have got...
0:05:06 > 0:05:07I'll read those all again.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Bob, welcome to Pointless.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Is it true, Bob, that you co-founded Time Out?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- It is true.- It is? - Yes, yes, in 1968.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34It was an incredible thing because, you know,
0:05:34 > 0:05:37London was so vibrant in those days
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- and there was the emerging what was known as the counterculture.- Yeah.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43You know, the underground scene in London at that time.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48And there were lots of new magazines and newspapers appearing,
0:05:48 > 0:05:54and Tony Elliott, whose idea it was to found the magazine,
0:05:54 > 0:05:59had in his mind the idea of doing a one-off guide for students
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- and tourists to the underground scene in London.- Yeah.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04And we sold the first edition to the crowd
0:06:04 > 0:06:06at the Sunbury Jazz Festival
0:06:06 > 0:06:09and the first edition then funded the second one and it began to roll.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- And now, of course, it's all over the world.- Absolutely wonderful.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Now, Bob, what about this...?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16What about our board of missing words?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I can't imagine there's any you don't know there.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22No, it's just the one, isn't it, that the least number
0:06:22 > 0:06:25of people would have been likely to guess?
0:06:25 > 0:06:29On that basis, I'm going to go for The Mock Turtles' title,
0:06:29 > 0:06:31which is Can You Dig It?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Can You Dig It? The Mock Turtles. Let's see if that's right
0:06:34 > 0:06:36and see how many of our 100 people went for dig.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40It is Can You Dig It?
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Down it goes to 25.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Great start to the round and the show.
0:06:48 > 0:06:4925 for Can You Dig It?
0:06:51 > 0:06:52Well played, Bob. Solid as a rock.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Yeah, Can You Dig It? The Mock Turtles.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Off a very good album, actually, Turtle Soup.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58They were big for a while, weren't they, The Mock Turtles?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Steve Coogan's elder brother was the lead singer, Martin Coogan.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Kerry.- Hello.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09Listen, "The best comic timing on the Fringe."
0:07:09 > 0:07:11That's the Sunday Times, that's what they have to say about you.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- Oh. That's nice.- "The best comic timing on the Fringe."
0:07:14 > 0:07:16What show was that?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19That was a couple of years ago. That was a show called Wonder Woman.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Was that the year I wasn't there?- Yes!
0:07:22 > 0:07:24That's why I got that title, because Jenny wasn't there.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26What about that? Are you going up this year?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- I'm not going up this year, no. - Do you generally do every year or..?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32No, I'm every three years. That's what I like to do.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- That's nice. And then you can tour the show.- Then you can tour.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- I'm doing a tour instead. - That's very nice.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- And then meanwhile start writing your material for the...- Exactly.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- It's an ongoing, fluid process. - Good, lovely.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- Sort of rotational farming of comedy.- Exactly, exactly.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Very good.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Now, Kerry, are you liking this round with the missing words?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Well, I was liking it until Bob chose The Mock Turtles.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Because everything else is something
0:07:56 > 0:07:58either everyone will know or I don't know.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01My second choice then might be...
0:08:01 > 0:08:03..Who Let The Dogs Out?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06That's the one you are going to go for, The Baha Men.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Who Let The Dogs Out? Let's see how many of our 100 people said dogs.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Well, it's right.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14- Ooh, look at that.- Oh...- 86.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16It's very right, Kerry.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- 86 for Who Let The Dogs Out? - That is a...
0:08:20 > 0:08:22That's a big scorer, Who Let The Dogs Out?
0:08:22 > 0:08:23You know what the irony is?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- They never found out. - LAUGHTER
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Played all over the world. No-one, nobody grassed.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32It was me, actually.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Oh, there we are. I knew it!
0:08:34 > 0:08:35Thank you, Richard.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- Linda, welcome back.- Yep. Thank you. - Welcome back to Pointless.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Now, Birds Of A Feather... - Yep.- It's been back.- It has.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44It's been back and it ran earlier this year.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Yeah, it's been back for three years now after a 15-year break.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50And then when you're not doing that,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- you're doing your Loose Women. - I am, yeah.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55When you turn up, do you talk about what you're going to say?
0:08:55 > 0:08:56- Yeah, we...- Or is the idea...?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59We get picked up at eight o'clock in the morning. Then we have a meeting.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Then two of us go off for make-up and the other two wait
0:09:01 > 0:09:03and look through the notes. Then the other two go.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Then we have another meeting before we go live on air.- Yeah.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07And then we finish at half past one.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09We have a meeting to discuss what we've said
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- that we shouldn't have said and... - ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:09:11 > 0:09:13The lawyers come in and...
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- So, yeah, it's a nice show to work on.- A lot of meetings!
0:09:15 > 0:09:17It's a great show, though, isn't it? You must love it.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Yeah, I do love it.- Now, Linda, what would you like to go for?
0:09:20 > 0:09:22We've had a nice low score and quite a surprisingly high score.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Well, I wanted "dig" as well, The Mock Turtles,
0:09:25 > 0:09:28but, I mean, the rest of them are all really, really well known.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32I'm not sure if "What's My" is...
0:09:32 > 0:09:34I don't know whether to go for that or...
0:09:34 > 0:09:37See, all the others are so well known, aren't they?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40I might go for Does Your Mother Know?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- Does Your Mother Know?- Yeah.- You're going to say Does Your Mother Know?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Says Linda. Let's see if that's right. Does Your Mother Know?
0:09:48 > 0:09:49It's right.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- Oh, look at that, down it goes. - Oh! Oh!
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- 46.- Oh, there you go.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55- There you go!- That's good, well done.
0:09:57 > 0:10:0046 for Does Your Mother Know?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03They say that ABBA's flamboyant stage clothes and stage style
0:10:03 > 0:10:07came because of the Swedish tax code which essentially said
0:10:07 > 0:10:09that they could only claim for what they wore onstage
0:10:09 > 0:10:12if it was so outrageous you wouldn't wear it in the street.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15So that's the only way they could get free costumes.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- They couldn't wear any normal stuff. - That's superb.- Yeah, there you go.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Wow. Thank you, Richard.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24- Debbie.- Hello.- Welcome to Pointless, Debbie.- Thank you.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Now, an extraordinary career you have, Debbie. You started out,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- you were at the Royal Ballet School. Studied there.- Yes.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33- Then you joined the Iranian National Ballet.- Yes.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Why did you go for the Iranian National Ballet?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Because they were paying five times more than the Royal Ballet!
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Wow.- So I went for the money, yeah.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- So you were based in Tehran, how long for?- Yeah.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Well, I planned to stay for three years,
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- but if you've seen the movie Argo with Ben Affleck...- Yep?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52..that's what I went through, exactly. I was hidden in a house.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- Oh, really?- I got stopped at the airport.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I chatted up one of the customs guys who stamped my passport
0:10:57 > 0:11:00and I ran across the tarmac and escaped.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03So this was pre-revolution or sort of just during...
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- It was as the revolution was happening, yeah.- Blimey.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08But looking back over your career,
0:11:08 > 0:11:09what would you say would be your highlight?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12What's the thing that you look back with the most fondness?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- There's been loads.- Yeah.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16But probably meeting Paul,
0:11:16 > 0:11:20because when I came back from Iran is when I needed a job,
0:11:20 > 0:11:24so I auditioned as a dancer for a company that were putting on
0:11:24 > 0:11:27lots of shows and they put me with the Paul Daniels Show.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31I didn't know who he was or what he did and I hated magic!
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Wow. And there he was.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35I think a lot of us hated magic before Paul Daniels,
0:11:35 > 0:11:37you know? He was... I mean, he was a great superstar.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40But you have an awful lot to thank the Ayatollah Khomeini for.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41Yeah, yeah, exactly.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45So, no, I think the highlight was probably when the TV show,
0:11:45 > 0:11:47The Paul Daniels Magic Show, won the Golden Rose of Montreux.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- I think that was probably the highlight.- Fantastic.- Yeah.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Now then, Debbie, from that highlight to this highlight.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56What are you going to go for on this board?
0:11:56 > 0:11:58I'll just go for something that's safe
0:11:58 > 0:12:02and hope it keeps us in for the next bit.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03It's which one to go for, really.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07I think I might hope that you've asked 100 younger people
0:12:07 > 0:12:10so they might not know so much about Tom Jones,
0:12:10 > 0:12:12so I'll go What's New Pussycat?
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Pussycat, says Debbie.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Let's see how many of our 100 people said What's New Pussycat?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20It's...
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- Oh...- I didn't have time to say it was right.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24It's right, though, it is. 96
0:12:24 > 0:12:27is what it scores you. Wow. A few people did know that.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- Better than 100.- Yes, much better.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- It is four better than 100, Debbie. - Four better.- Very well done.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Yeah, there's some very, very big scores on that board.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Got the Rod Stewart one...
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Not quite as bad, but almost as much damage.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? would have scored you 93.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44The Elton one, Are You Ready For Love? 69 points.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46And Blink 182 is the best answer on the board.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- What's My...- Age. - What's My Age Again?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Would've scored you two points.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- It's a good song as well, What's My Age Again?- It is good.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53Thanks very much indeed.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56So, let's take a look at the scores. We're halfway through the round.
0:12:56 > 0:12:5825, the best score of the pass,
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Bob, very well done. Bob and Chris, I think,
0:13:01 > 0:13:03looking like dead certs for Round Two at this point.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Then up to 46, where we find Linda and Jenny.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Then we travel up to 86, where we find Kerry and Miles.
0:13:08 > 0:13:1196, Debbie and Angelos.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12So, yes, Angelos,
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- you get the new board, so... - Oh, good.- Yeah.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- Make sure you find a nice low score on there.- OK, mate, yeah.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18- No pressure.- Good luck with that.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20We're going to come back down the line now.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28OK, let's put seven more song titles with missing words up
0:13:28 > 0:13:31on the board, and here they come. We have got...
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Let me read those all again.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- OK, Angelos.- Yes. - Welcome to Pointless.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- Thanks, mate, thank you. - It's good to have you.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- How is everything, Angelos? - Yeah, not bad, actually.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- How's business, all right?- Business is very good at the moment, yes.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19I don't actually run BP like I said.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21I run a burger van.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Erm... And I park it outside all the football grounds
0:14:25 > 0:14:28and all that sort of carry-on. I went over to Europe.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Erm... And I made a bit of money.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Did you?- Really?- Yes, I did.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37And I spent it on new clothes, thank you.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40That's very good. Is there a sort of seasonal thing to the burger van?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Do you find that? Does that...?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Yeah, yeah, it is a seasonal thing, yeah.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47It's autumn, winter,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50summer and spring.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52I work all them seasons.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54- Very good.- Thank you.- Very good. Now, Angelos...
0:14:54 > 0:14:56I'm pleased to be here, by the way.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00This is my second-favourite game show on the telly.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04It's great to have you here, Angelos.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- LAUGHTER - What's your favourite, Angelos?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Oh, don't ask...
0:15:08 > 0:15:09The football.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- Yeah.- Angelos, you're on 96. You're the high-scorers at the moment.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- I know, mate.- Not by much, though. - No.- There's not a lot in it.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22A nice low score from you at this point will keep you in the game.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24What would you like to go for?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26I think I'll go...
0:15:26 > 0:15:29..Where's Your Head At? Basement Jaxx.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Where's Your Head At? says Angelos.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32No red line for you as you're the high-scorers.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Let's see how many of our 100 people said Where's Your Head At?
0:15:39 > 0:15:40It's right.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46- 27.- Not bad.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Very well done indeed, Angelos.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Taking your total up to 123.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Very much back in the game there.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Very well played. Top 10 hit from 2001.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Thanks very much, Richard.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Now, Jenny, welcome back to Pointless.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- Well, it's a pleasure to be here. - Talk to me about Just A Minute.
0:16:01 > 0:16:07Tactically, do you just talk, or do you think very carefully as you are talking?
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- Both at the same time...- Both.- ..if I possibly can, without falling off my chair.
0:16:11 > 0:16:16It's quite hard. It's one of those jobs that I sort of hate and love with equal measure.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- Yes.- But I'm a big fan of Nicholas Parsons.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24- He is 123, you know, but he still sounds great on the radio.- He does.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28He absolutely does. Brilliant man.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Is it terrifying? It must be terrifying.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- Everything is terrifying. - Is it a God-given thing, or can you work at it?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- Can you improve your Just A Minute? - You can improve.
0:16:36 > 0:16:42You've got to sort of go into a slight zone, and just keep going even if it's rubbish.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44I've started doing it now, I don't like doing it.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Some people take a run at it and go... HE SPEAKS FAST GIBBERISH
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I try all the tricks.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54- I try going very fast sometimes, and then slow right down.- Yeah.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Now, Jenny, you're on 46.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01If you can score 76 or less, you are into the next round.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05It's really tricky. May I just say that I danced on
0:17:05 > 0:17:09the video to Do You Really Want To Hurt Me by Culture Club?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11You've got to use that one now cos you've given it away.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Have I got to use that? Does it work like that?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- You just told them the word now! - LAUGHTER - Do you see what I've done?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18You danced on the video? How come?
0:17:18 > 0:17:22I used to make a living as a younger woman as a dancer on pop videos.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Well, I wouldn't have paid to see you.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27LAUGHTER
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- So, that's what you're now going for, I'm afraid.- You've got to now!
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- I've spoiled the game.- It might be fine.- It might not be.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Here's your red line, nice and high.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37If you can get below that with hurt, Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?,
0:17:37 > 0:17:41you are through to the next round. Let's see how many people said it.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45It is hurt.
0:17:45 > 0:17:4983 is what it scores. APPLAUSE
0:17:49 > 0:17:5083 takes your total up to 129.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Great news for Angelos and Debbie behind you.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55You could still be in the game.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Could be a lot worse than 83. And a number one in '82.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- There we are, thank you very much. - That's nice, isn't it?- That's very nice.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- Miles, welcome to Pointless. - Thank you for having me.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Trying to work out if there's any section of the population
0:18:08 > 0:18:13that doesn't know and love you, because Balamory, obviously.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16And then of course I was in the Iranian Balamory as well.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Very well paid but ultimately quite terrifying.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Running across the tarmac in my pink kilt, being shot at by...
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I think it was Ben Affleck, but...
0:18:24 > 0:18:27The more discerning sitcom fan, Rev...
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Featuring Alexander Armstrong.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32In episode one, yes.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Mock The Week, obviously for a slightly cooler demographic.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Then you've got The News Quiz, which just picks up any loose balls.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43I mean, there is no section of the demographic that you haven't
0:18:43 > 0:18:44got in your pocket.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48I don't know if that's the case but it's a very nice thing for you to say, certainly.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- And how is The News Quiz? - It's absolutely fine.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52We record on a Thursday.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54At the moment the news happens so fast
0:18:54 > 0:19:00obviously it would be irrelevant by Friday, but I'm quite good...
0:19:00 > 0:19:03If this was a different sort of quiz, that would be my specialist subject -
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- news that happens on a Thursday. - LAUGHTER
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Miles, what are the missing words from these song titles?
0:19:08 > 0:19:09You have to aim for 42 or less.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11I'm going to have to go for,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14on the basis that people... They may not be at the forefront of people's
0:19:14 > 0:19:18consciousness, the Bros song, When Will I Be Famous?
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Famous, says Miles. Here is your red line.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24If you can get below that red line with When Will I Be Famous?,
0:19:24 > 0:19:25you are into Round Two.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27How many of our 100 people said it, famous?
0:19:31 > 0:19:32It's right.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- 68.- What a bitter disappointment.
0:19:37 > 0:19:3968, Miles, takes your total up to 154.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Yeah, a number two hit, nearly 30 years ago now.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- No!- Yeah.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Thank you, Richard. Chris, welcome to pointless.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Lovely to have you here.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Now, the story goes that when Squeeze started it was really
0:19:54 > 0:19:57just you, you were advertising for people to come and join your band.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Yeah, I put an advert in a sweet shop window for a guitarist
0:20:01 > 0:20:04to join a band. I didn't have a band, but...
0:20:04 > 0:20:07And I didn't have any friends, and that's why I put the ad there.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12And Glenn Tilbrook was the only person to answer the ad. So...
0:20:12 > 0:20:14And then you found some others along the way.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17And when did you come up with Squeeze?
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Well, we were a very democratic band,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22so we put lots of names in a hat,
0:20:22 > 0:20:24and Squeeze was one of the names in the hat.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29Jools Holland put a very rude word in a hat, which we never used.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30LAUGHTER
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Probably sensibly, really...
0:20:33 > 0:20:36You run a songwriting workshop, or you are part of a songwriting workshop.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41Yeah, I've been running songwriting workshops for 26 years now.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Bob has been to a couple of them.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47- Not to write songs, but to be a gifted friend.- Excellent.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Chris, you are through to the next round,
0:20:48 > 0:20:50doesn't matter what you score at this point.
0:20:50 > 0:20:55So, you can talk us through this board and fill in the blanks for us, if you felt like it.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- Or just give us an answer. - I'm going to go for...
0:20:58 > 0:21:01All the ones I wanted to go for have just gone, so...
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- Is This The Way To Amarillo? - Is This The Way To Amarillo?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08No red line for you, you are already through.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Let's see how many of our 100 people said Way To Amarillo.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19It's right. 91 is the score for that. Very high score.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23116 is your total, but you're through.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Yes, only big answers up there on the board
0:21:25 > 0:21:26apart from the two tougher ones.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29That was a number 18 hit in 1972,
0:21:29 > 0:21:31and then in 2005 it was number one for seven weeks.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Let's fill in this board.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37There is another very obvious one, How Much Is That Doggie In The...
0:21:37 > 0:21:41- Window.- Window, yes. That would have scored you 96 points.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44And now these two are the best two answers.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Do I Wanna Know? by Arctic Monkeys
0:21:47 > 0:21:49would have scored you 4 points, and the best
0:21:49 > 0:21:53answer on the board, our old friends from Busted with Who's...
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- Who's David?- Who's David? Would have scored you 1 point,
0:21:56 > 0:21:57so, very well done if you said that.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00So, at the end of our first round,
0:22:00 > 0:22:03the pair heading home with our high score of 154...
0:22:03 > 0:22:06There is nothing about this I would change, it's been lovely.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08LAUGHTER
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Listen, come and play again, it's been lovely having you here.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- Thanks so much for playing. - Thank you.- Miles and Kerry.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15APPLAUSE
0:22:19 > 0:22:22But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25We are down to three pairs,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28and at the end of this round we will be down to two pairs.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30But well done, that was a tough round.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- But Angelos...- Yes? - ..very well done.- Yeah.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Bob, lovely low scores, there. Best of luck to all three pairs for our next round.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Our category for Round Two this evening is Famous People.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55OK, and our question concerns...
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Jims and Jimmys, Richard.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04We're going to show you a picture of 16 famous people
0:23:04 > 0:23:06known by the name Jim or Jimmy.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Can you identify the most obscure of these, please?
0:23:09 > 0:23:10OK, thanks very much.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13We're going to put an image up that has all 16 people there.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14We won't be changing it halfway through the round,
0:23:14 > 0:23:16it will stay up for the entire round.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21Let's see who is up on the board, shall we? We have got these people.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25There we are.
0:23:25 > 0:23:2816 Jims or Jimmys.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Bob, we will come to you first.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35- Well, it is quite a mix, isn't it?- It is.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- That's a drinks party, isn't it? - Yes.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40There's a few music people up there.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45And I am going to choose one of them.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51It's on the right-hand column, and it's the third face down.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58- And that is the face of Jim Morrison.- Jim Morrison, says Bob.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Let's see if that's right.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Jim Morrison.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06It's right.
0:24:11 > 0:24:1525 for Jim Morrison. Good start to the round. 25.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18Well done, Bob.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Can I also commend you on the coolest given answer, I think, ever.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25That was from start to finish beautiful, wasn't it?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- So polished.- So polished.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Now, if everyone else can do the same. Jenny...
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Probably not. OK...
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Now, the trick here is not to give anybody's name away
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- before I choose my person.- Yes.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46- I'm just going to say Jimmy Kimmel. - Jimmy Kimmel, says Jenny.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jimmy Kimmel.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- Oh!- Oh, I'm sorry.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- Who's the guy top right? - We'll discover in...
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- At the end.- As soon as she did it she knew she had gone wrong.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05I'm afraid it's not Jimmy Kimmel, though, that I can tell you.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07It scores you 100 points, I'm sorry.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11- I've done well! Oh, no, I haven't. - You've done rubbish!
0:25:11 > 0:25:13I'm so sorry.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15I'll give all the correct answers at the end of the pass.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Thank you very much indeed. Angelos.- Yes.- Angelos.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21OK. I'm just going to come straight out with it.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Um...
0:25:23 > 0:25:25I'm going to go for...
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Yes.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Yes, it's very tricky, there is so many.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37- Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. - Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Let's see if that is right,
0:25:39 > 0:25:42let's see how many of our 100 people said Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45It is right.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Well, 100 was our high score, you passed that,
0:25:49 > 0:25:5125 was our low score, and you passed that.
0:25:51 > 0:25:5218 for Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54APPLAUSE
0:25:56 > 0:26:00- 18, well done.- Yes, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, second row down.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Born in Suriname and became manager of QPR.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Thanks very much indeed. Now, let's have a quick look at the scores.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09We're halfway through the round. 18, the best score of the pass.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Very well done indeed, Angelos. Angelos and Debbie, I think there is
0:26:12 > 0:26:16a place in the head-to-head for you, but we shall see.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Bob and Chris we find on 25, and then, yes,
0:26:19 > 0:26:23we travel up to 100, where we find Jenny and Linda.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25- So, Linda...- Yes. - Who knows what might happen,
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- but a low score from you certainly isn't going to hurt.- Yep.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33- What are you laughing at? I can't do worse than you. - LAUGHTER
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- OK. Now, Debbie.- Yes, Alexander.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45What would you like to go for?
0:26:45 > 0:26:48If you can score 81 or less you are through to the next round.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49I know quite a few,
0:26:49 > 0:26:51so it's deciding on who you think
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- they don't know.- Exactly.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56So, I think I'm going to go for
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Jimmy Carter.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Jimmy Carter, says Debbie.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00OK, here's your red line,
0:27:00 > 0:27:03if you can get below this red line you are through to the next round.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05How many of our 100 people said Jimmy Carter?
0:27:09 > 0:27:10It's right.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12And you are through. Very well done indeed.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Down to 54, taking your total up to 72.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20That's a strong pairing on that third podium there,
0:27:20 > 0:27:21very well played.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- In simpler times.- Mm.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30- Thank you, Richard. Now, Linda.- Yes, love.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34What we absolutely need from you is a low score.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36I mean, if you can score less than 24,
0:27:36 > 0:27:39then there is a world in which you could go through
0:27:39 > 0:27:44- to the next round.- It would be a very strange world. OK.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46I'm going to go for...
0:27:46 > 0:27:50- Go for Jimmy Kimmel.- Shut up, you!
0:27:50 > 0:27:52I'm going to go for Jimmy Nail.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Jimmy Nail, says Linda. Jimmy Nail.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56No red line for you as you are the high-scorers,
0:27:56 > 0:27:59but let's see how far down the column we get with Jimmy Nail.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03It's right.
0:28:06 > 0:28:0939. Takes your total up to 139.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16He had seven UK top 40 singles, Jimmy Nail. And a number one.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19And a number one. Thank you very much indeed.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20Now, Chris, good news again.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22It's always good news on your podium.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26You are through to the next round, doesn't matter what you score.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Do you want to talk us through some Jims and Jimmys?
0:28:29 > 0:28:31I'm a huge fan of Jim Reeves.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34So he would be one of my first to pick.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37And Jim Henson.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39I'll go for Jim Reeves.
0:28:39 > 0:28:40Jim Reeves, says Chris.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42No red line for you, cos you are already through.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jim Reeves.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57Look at that! 5.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Taking your total up to 30, very well done.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06It's a terrific answer, Chris. Jim Reeves, 5 points.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08But the other one you knew, Jim Henson,
0:29:08 > 0:29:12there he is on the second row down, was a pointless answer.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15So, it's a shame you didn't go for that.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17- JENNY:- I knew who he was, but...
0:29:17 > 0:29:18Let's take a look at the rest.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Next to Jim Reeves there on the top left is Jimmy White.
0:29:21 > 0:29:22Would've scored you 55.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Then next Jimmy Carter. It is not Jimmy Kimmel,
0:29:25 > 0:29:27- it's the other one, Jimmy Fallon. - LINDA AND JENNY: Oh!
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Would've scored you 17 points.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Next row, Jimi Hendrix, 73.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35The next row down, it's the physicist Jim Al-Khalili.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Would've scored you 2 points.
0:29:37 > 0:29:38Then Jim Broadbent, 27.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41From Big Bang Theory, Jim Parsons, would have scored you 13.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44And the bottom row, from many things,
0:29:44 > 0:29:47including LA Law, Jimmy Smits. Would've scored you 5.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50Jimmy Carr, 64. Jim Carrey, 44.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52And do you know the one on the bottom right?
0:29:52 > 0:29:56It is the founder of Wikipedia, Jimmy Wales.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58That would have scored you 1 point.
0:29:58 > 0:29:59Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03So, at the end of our second round, the pair we have to say goodbye to with our high score of 39,
0:30:03 > 0:30:05- Linda and Jenny, I'm so sorry. - It's all my fault.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09- It's not all your fault. - It is a bit my fault.- It is. It is. - It is all your fault.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13- It's been lovely having you here, come and play again soon, please. - But just not together!
0:30:13 > 0:30:17- Thank you very much. Linda and Jenny, everyone.- Thank you very much!
0:30:17 > 0:30:20APPLAUSE
0:30:20 > 0:30:23But for Debbie and Angelos, Chris and Bob, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Congratulations, Chris and Bob, Debbie and Angelos,
0:30:29 > 0:30:31you are now one step closer to the final and the chance to
0:30:31 > 0:30:36play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,500.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41So, this is the point where we decide who goes through to the
0:30:41 > 0:30:44final to play for that jackpot for their charities,
0:30:44 > 0:30:46and we do that by making you go head-to-head.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48The good news is you are now allowed to confer before you
0:30:48 > 0:30:50give your answers, and the first pair to win
0:30:50 > 0:30:53two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Chris and Bob, I don't think you've put a foot wrong.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58We've had lovely low scores from you, all the way through.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01As we have on that far podium, as well.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05Angelos, you see a hell of a lot through that hatch in the van, don't you?
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Yes, I do, I've got a computer in it,
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- so, I'm just always looking stuff up, you know?- Very good.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12- It's my hobby. - That's nice. Good.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Very best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25OK, here is your first question, and it concerns...
0:31:29 > 0:31:33- Richard.- We're going to show you five pictures now of comic book heroes
0:31:33 > 0:31:37from TV or film. We just need you to tell us who the hero is, please.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41OK, let's reveal our five heroes, and here they come.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43We have got...
0:32:03 > 0:32:07There we go, five comic book heroes. Now, Chris and Bob,
0:32:07 > 0:32:09you've been low scorers, so you will go first.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Feel free to confer.
0:32:11 > 0:32:12Well...
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- WHISPERING:- It's what? - Wonder Woman.- Yes.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31We're going to go for A, which is Wonder Woman.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35Wonder Woman for A, say Chris and Bob.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Now, Debbie and Angelos, would you like to talk us through that board?
0:32:38 > 0:32:39Put a name to
0:32:39 > 0:32:40all those other heroes.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- ANGELOS:- Yes. We'd like to do that.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45A is Wonder Woman.
0:32:45 > 0:32:46- DEBBIE:- Yeah.
0:32:46 > 0:32:47B is Captain America.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49We don't know C.
0:32:49 > 0:32:50We don't know that. No.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52D is Ironman.
0:32:52 > 0:32:53And E is Deadpool.
0:32:53 > 0:32:54And we think
0:32:54 > 0:32:56we're going to go with E?
0:32:56 > 0:32:58If we think that
0:32:58 > 0:33:00- would be the least? - We do think that.- Yes.
0:33:00 > 0:33:01LAUGHTER
0:33:01 > 0:33:03- Yes, we think that.- E. - You're going to say E.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05- Deadpool.- Deadpool.- Yes.- Deadpool.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08OK. So we have Wonder Woman and Deadpool.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Chris and Bob said Wonder Woman. Let's see if that's right.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:33:14 > 0:33:15It's right.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Wonder Woman is 88.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Wow. OK.
0:33:19 > 0:33:20Now, Debbie and Angelos,
0:33:20 > 0:33:22that is what you have to beat with
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Deadpool, which you are saying is E.
0:33:24 > 0:33:25Let's see if that's right.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Let's see how any of our 100 people said Deadpool.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32It's right
0:33:32 > 0:33:34and it wins you the point. Well done.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36- Oh, yes.- Well done, you.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38APPLAUSE Very good indeed.
0:33:38 > 0:33:4226 for Deadpool, which means, Debbie and Angelos,
0:33:42 > 0:33:44after one question you are up 1-0.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Well played, Debbie and Angelos. Yes, played by Ryan Reynolds in the film.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48A really good film, Deadpool.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Not for younger children but a very, very good film.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52Surprisingly funny.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55B, you're right with Captain America.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56Captain America would have
0:33:56 > 0:33:57scored you 69 points.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59We'll leave C for a moment
0:33:59 > 0:34:00cos it's the best answer.
0:34:00 > 0:34:01D is Ironman.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Not a huge score, actually, Ironman,
0:34:05 > 0:34:0739. And the best answer on the board,
0:34:07 > 0:34:08that's Halle Berry
0:34:08 > 0:34:11and a character from the X-Men
0:34:11 > 0:34:12universe, and it's Storm.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Well done if you said that.
0:34:14 > 0:34:15It would have scored 19 points.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Thanks very much indeed. OK, here comes your second question.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Chris and Bob, you have to win this one to stay in the game
0:34:20 > 0:34:23but Debbie and Angelos will get to answer it first.
0:34:23 > 0:34:24Best of luck with that.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Our second question this evening is all about...
0:34:31 > 0:34:35LAUGHTER
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Yes, at the start of that fateful season Leicester City
0:34:37 > 0:34:40were 5,000/1 to win the Premier League.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43We're now going to give you five things bookies considered more likely than that.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46We've missed out alternate letters from some of these bets.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Can you work out what they are, please?
0:34:48 > 0:34:50OK. Bets more likely,
0:34:50 > 0:34:54bets shorter than Leicester City winning the league. Here they are.
0:34:54 > 0:34:55Five of them.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18I'll read those all again.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37There we are. Debbie and Angelos, you will go first.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40- DEBBIE:- We do know some.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42We've worked out some.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44But it's what we'll get for the
0:35:44 > 0:35:45least points.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47- ANGELOS:- That's the game.
0:35:48 > 0:35:49LAUGHTER
0:35:49 > 0:35:51That's the game.
0:35:51 > 0:35:52We're in the business end now.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Yeah.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58- What do you think?- I don't know.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02I don't know what to do, actually,
0:36:02 > 0:36:03which is very unusual for me.
0:36:05 > 0:36:06We'll just have to go for
0:36:06 > 0:36:08- one of them.- OK.
0:36:08 > 0:36:09Well, och aye the noo,
0:36:09 > 0:36:12we're going to go for the Loch Ness Monster to be discovered.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16OK, the Loch Ness Monster to be discovered, say Debbie and Angelos.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Now, Chris and Bob, can you talk us through all of those?
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- CHRIS:- After you.
0:36:21 > 0:36:22- BOB:- Simon Cowell to become
0:36:22 > 0:36:24UK Prime Minister.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27The UK Christmas number 1 is
0:36:27 > 0:36:29The something. We're not sure what.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32And Kim Kardashian to
0:36:32 > 0:36:34become US president.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37What shall we go for?
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Shall we go for Kim Kardashian?
0:36:39 > 0:36:40Yeah.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44- We're going to go for Kim Kardashian.- Kim Kardashian, say Chris and Bob.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47So we have Loch Ness Monster and Kim Kardashian.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Debbie and Angelos went for the Loch Ness Monster.
0:36:49 > 0:36:50Let's see if that's right.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:36:56 > 0:36:57It's right.
0:37:00 > 0:37:0148 for the Loch Ness Monster.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03APPLAUSE
0:37:03 > 0:37:0548, the Loch Ness Monster.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08- Now, Chris and Bob, meanwhile, have gone for Kim Kardashian. - This is crucial.
0:37:08 > 0:37:09Yeah.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11HE EXHALES
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people
0:37:14 > 0:37:15said Kim Kardashian.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20It's right. Now you have to win this.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Oh, no. 51 for Kim Kardashian.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25APPLAUSE
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Which means after only two questions, Debbie
0:37:28 > 0:37:32and Angelos, you are straight through to the final, 2-0.
0:37:32 > 0:37:33Yeah, and we've finally found out who would
0:37:33 > 0:37:36win in a fight between the Loch Ness Monster and Kim Kardashian.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39That's good news. Let's fill in the rest of these, shall we?
0:37:39 > 0:37:42We'll leave the Christmas number 1.
0:37:42 > 0:37:43It is Simon Cowell to become
0:37:43 > 0:37:44Prime Minister.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46That would have scored you 67.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48And to win Strictly Come Dancing...
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- Alex Ferguson.- ..Alex Ferguson...
0:37:51 > 0:37:53..would have scored you 12.
0:37:53 > 0:37:54Now, this one is tricky
0:37:54 > 0:37:55because it's obviously
0:37:55 > 0:37:57The something, which makes you think,
0:37:57 > 0:37:59well, you're thinking of bands
0:37:59 > 0:38:00that begin The something.
0:38:00 > 0:38:01In fact, 10 of 100 people said The Cure
0:38:01 > 0:38:04even though it doesn't fit. But they said The Cure.
0:38:04 > 0:38:05But it's not a band at all.
0:38:05 > 0:38:06The Queen...
0:38:06 > 0:38:07It was a Q-U.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09..to have a Christmas number 1 would
0:38:09 > 0:38:11- have scored you 15.- Very clever. Very clever.
0:38:11 > 0:38:16- There we go.- All of the things considered more likely than Leicester City winning
0:38:16 > 0:38:21the Premiership...or Debbie McGee and Angelos Epithemiou winning Pointless Celebrities.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24Yeah, winning Pointless Celebrities. Well, thank you very much.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:38:26 > 0:38:28I'm so sorry, Chris and Bob. Very much
0:38:28 > 0:38:30against the grain of play, I have to say.
0:38:30 > 0:38:31You've been low scorers every time.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Nothing wrong with either of your answers but they were
0:38:33 > 0:38:35under-scored by Debbie and Angelos, I'm afraid.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37It's been lovely having you here.
0:38:37 > 0:38:38- Thank you so much for playing, Chris and Bob.- Thank you.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Brilliant.
0:38:40 > 0:38:41APPLAUSE
0:38:41 > 0:38:45But for Debbie and Angelos it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Congratulations, Debbie and Angelos. You have fought off all
0:38:54 > 0:38:57the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:39:04 > 0:39:05That's all we came for.
0:39:05 > 0:39:06Better still,
0:39:06 > 0:39:09you now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot for your charity.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12And at the end of today's show the jackpot is standing at £2,500.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14There we are.
0:39:14 > 0:39:15APPLAUSE
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Your first answer in Round One was pussycat, What's New Pussycat?
0:39:21 > 0:39:23It scored 96.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Did you imagine for a moment that you would then go sailing
0:39:26 > 0:39:29through the head-to-head round 2-0 up against Chris and Bob...
0:39:29 > 0:39:31I know, I thought we would be out.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33..who... They know a thing or two.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36But you found something. There was something in your locker,
0:39:36 > 0:39:38- in your bag.- In my bag, yeah.- What is in your bag?
0:39:38 > 0:39:40There was some real chemistry going on here as well.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42- That is undoubtedly the case. - That has helped.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46- What is in the bag?- Don't ask. Don't ask, Alexander.- Well...- Don't.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49- I've got... - It's not been washed, I don't think.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51- No, you can't wash that.- OK.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54I've got one of them referee lines things, you know?
0:39:54 > 0:39:55That's nice.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Isn't it?
0:39:57 > 0:40:00It's going to come in very handy for this final round!
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Christmas, Debbie?
0:40:02 > 0:40:05- Yeah, yeah.- You can never not be prepared for Christmas.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09And then of course I've got my ball in a hanky. Just in case,
0:40:09 > 0:40:12just in case.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15- You did ask.- I did ask.- Yes.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Listen, very good luck for this part of the round, where we
0:40:17 > 0:40:20put four different categories up on the board behind me.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Today's selection looks like this.
0:40:25 > 0:40:26We've got...
0:40:33 > 0:40:35What do you reckon?
0:40:35 > 0:40:38I think we should either go for letter K or the grand...
0:40:38 > 0:40:40- What are you like on tennis? - I'm pretty
0:40:40 > 0:40:44- good on the K.- Yeah? Shall we risk the letter K?
0:40:44 > 0:40:47- Letter K, then. - Are you sure?
0:40:47 > 0:40:51- Oh, yes.- We might regret it. I don't know.- It's nice and broad.
0:40:51 > 0:40:57- It covers all the Ks.- We said we wanted geography and bridges.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59K could come under that.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02- Kettering.- Yeah. Exactly. - Kidderminster.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05- You wanted sport and films, didn't you?- Well, we've got sport
0:41:05 > 0:41:09there, really. Men's Grand Slam titles. But that's quite specific.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12- So let's go for the letter...- If you want to go for the tennis
0:41:12 > 0:41:14I'll go for the tennis with you.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16I don't know any obscure ones. Let's go for the letter K.
0:41:16 > 0:41:21- OK.- Yeah, that's it.- Letter K. Letter K it is.- Thank you.
0:41:21 > 0:41:22Richard.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24That didn't take too long, did it?
0:41:24 > 0:41:25LAUGHTER
0:41:25 > 0:41:28And I think if you wanted geography you made the right choice, Debbie,
0:41:28 > 0:41:31so, well done, because this is what we're looking for.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33We're looking for any country in the world which contains a K
0:41:33 > 0:41:35in its usual short-form English name.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39We are looking for any capital city in the world which contains
0:41:39 > 0:41:42a K in its usual English short-form name.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Or we're looking for any London Underground station
0:41:44 > 0:41:45containing a K in its name.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47So any country containing a K,
0:41:47 > 0:41:48as always, by country we mean
0:41:48 > 0:41:51a sovereign state that's a member of the UN in its own right.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54The capital city of any country in the world containing a K.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Or any London Underground station, so that's just the regular lines,
0:41:56 > 0:41:59not DLR and overground or anything like that.
0:41:59 > 0:42:00Very best of luck.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Thank you very much indeed.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Now, as always you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:42:05 > 0:42:07and all you need to win that jackpot for your charities
0:42:07 > 0:42:09is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:42:09 > 0:42:14- Are you ready?- Yes.- Yes.- Yeah?- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16There they are.
0:42:16 > 0:42:17Your time starts now.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19OK. Capital cities, Tokyo.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22- Yeah, very good.- OK. Countries.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24They've only got to contain the
0:42:24 > 0:42:26- letter.- Kazakhstan.- Kazakhstan.- Yes.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29- Uzbekistan. It's got a K in the middle.- That's brilliant.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32- Uzbekistan.- What about London Underground stations?
0:42:32 > 0:42:36- Bank.- Yeah. Very good.- Thank you. Thank you. Camden.
0:42:36 > 0:42:37I'm joking.
0:42:37 > 0:42:38LAUGHTER
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Yeah. Bank.
0:42:41 > 0:42:42OK.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46- Kentish Town.- Kentish Town. Very good.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48You travel on the Underground, don't you? See, I don't.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50No, no, I just look at the map all day.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52LAUGHTER
0:42:52 > 0:42:53We had 60 seconds,
0:42:53 > 0:42:55we've got 21 left.
0:42:55 > 0:42:56OK, what are we going for?
0:42:58 > 0:43:01Uzbekistan. That's good.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03And Kazakhstan.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05- Well, K is the start.- Uzbekistan.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07- Ten seconds left.- Tokyo.
0:43:07 > 0:43:08And what, Bank?
0:43:08 > 0:43:10- Or Kentish Town?- We'll go for Bank cos it's right at the end,
0:43:10 > 0:43:12- it may have fooled some people. - OK.- OK.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15- All right, then.- OK, you've decided?
0:43:15 > 0:43:17OK, your minute is now up.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19What would you like to go for?
0:43:19 > 0:43:25- We're going to go for one of each. - Yes.- Uzbekistan.- Uzbekistan.
0:43:25 > 0:43:29- Tokyo.- Tokyo.- And Bank. - And Bank.- Yeah.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31OK. Of those three, which is
0:43:31 > 0:43:34- your best shot at a pointless answer?- I think Uzbekistan.
0:43:34 > 0:43:37- OK, Uzbekistan goes last. Least likely?- Tokyo.- Yeah.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39Tokyo, Bank, Uzbekistan.
0:43:39 > 0:43:42OK, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then,
0:43:42 > 0:43:43and here they are.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45We have got...
0:43:48 > 0:43:50Three good answers on the board.
0:43:50 > 0:43:53What if one of these turns out to be pointless and wins that jackpot for you?
0:43:53 > 0:43:54What charities are you playing for?
0:43:54 > 0:43:55Debbie, you first.
0:43:55 > 0:43:58I'm playing for The Royal Theatrical Fund and they help actors
0:43:58 > 0:44:00and performers.
0:44:00 > 0:44:02Very good. Angelos, how about you?
0:44:02 > 0:44:05I'm playing for the Motor Neurone Disease Association.
0:44:05 > 0:44:06Very good indeed.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08APPLAUSE
0:44:09 > 0:44:11Two excellent charities there.
0:44:11 > 0:44:14Now, let's hope one of these answers is pointless and will win that
0:44:14 > 0:44:16jackpot for you to share between them.
0:44:16 > 0:44:17Your first answer was Tokyo.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20In this case we were looking for capital cities containing
0:44:20 > 0:44:22the letter K. If this is pointless it will win you £2,500.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25Let's see how many of our 100 people said Tokyo.
0:44:29 > 0:44:31It's right.
0:44:32 > 0:44:33Down it goes.
0:44:33 > 0:44:35Now, if Tokyo goes all the way down to zero you leave
0:44:35 > 0:44:37here with £2,500 for your charities.
0:44:37 > 0:44:39Tokyo now takes us down through the 20s into the teens
0:44:39 > 0:44:41to 16. There we are.
0:44:41 > 0:44:42APPLAUSE
0:44:45 > 0:44:4616 for Tokyo.
0:44:46 > 0:44:47So not a pointless answer, which means
0:44:47 > 0:44:50we move on to your next answer, which was Bank.
0:44:50 > 0:44:54In this case we were looking for London Underground stations.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57If this is pointless, again it will win you £2,500.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59Let's see how many people said Bank.
0:45:02 > 0:45:03It's right.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Tokyo took us all the way down to 16.
0:45:06 > 0:45:09Bank now takes us down through the 40s and in the 30s,
0:45:09 > 0:45:12down through the 20s, into the teens, passing 16,
0:45:12 > 0:45:13into single figures,
0:45:13 > 0:45:14still going down to 5.
0:45:14 > 0:45:16APPLAUSE
0:45:20 > 0:45:23- It's tough, innit?- That's a great score.- It's tough, though, this game.- Yeah.
0:45:23 > 0:45:25It is tough, I'm afraid,
0:45:25 > 0:45:27and it's only pointless answers in this round that we're interested in.
0:45:27 > 0:45:29So we move on to your third and final answer.
0:45:29 > 0:45:32This is the one you thought was broadly your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:45:32 > 0:45:36We're looking for countries with a K in their name.
0:45:36 > 0:45:40- You've gone for Uzbekistan. - Good answer.- It's a great answer. It has to be pointless.
0:45:40 > 0:45:42If it is pointless it will win you £2,500 for your charity.
0:45:42 > 0:45:46Let's see how many of our 100 people said Uzbekistan.
0:45:49 > 0:45:50It's right.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54Now then, your first answer, Tokyo, took us down to 16.
0:45:54 > 0:45:57Your second answer, Bank, took us down to 5.
0:45:57 > 0:45:59Uzbekistan passes 16, down in single figures,
0:45:59 > 0:46:01it passes 5, still going...
0:46:01 > 0:46:02- Oh!- Oh!
0:46:02 > 0:46:043. APPLAUSE
0:46:04 > 0:46:07- What a shame.- 3.
0:46:08 > 0:46:12- Well, that is a shame. - Three excellent scores there.
0:46:12 > 0:46:14Nothing wrong with any of those scores.
0:46:14 > 0:46:17- Nice low scores, but sadly they weren't pointless.- Pointless.- Just not enough.
0:46:17 > 0:46:20- I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500.- So close.
0:46:20 > 0:46:23However, as it is a celebrity special, and each of our celebrity
0:46:23 > 0:46:27pairs is playing for a charity, we are going to donate £500 to
0:46:27 > 0:46:29each celebrity pair for their respective charities, so there you are.
0:46:29 > 0:46:30APPLAUSE
0:46:32 > 0:46:37It was a fabulous game, though. Very, very well played right across the show.
0:46:37 > 0:46:392-0 in the head-to-head, which is fantastic,
0:46:39 > 0:46:42and it's been just such a treat having you on.
0:46:42 > 0:46:45- And you get to take home a Pointless trophy.- I know.- Thank you very much.
0:46:45 > 0:46:48- Debbie and Angelos.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:46:48 > 0:46:51APPLAUSE
0:46:51 > 0:46:53- That was a good answer.- Yes.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55Yeah, there's going to be lots of answers you know as well,
0:46:55 > 0:46:57especially on the Tube station question, I think.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59The toughest one of all was the countries.
0:46:59 > 0:47:02There was only two pointless answers. We'll take a look at them.
0:47:02 > 0:47:06Very well done at home if you said either...
0:47:06 > 0:47:08Terrific stuff. Both pointless answers.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11Now, the capitals. Lots of these are pointless answers.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13Jakarta, Indonesia.
0:47:13 > 0:47:14Kigali, which is Rwanda.
0:47:14 > 0:47:15Minsk, Belarus.
0:47:15 > 0:47:18Tashkent, which is the capital of Uzbekistan, would've been a pointless answer.
0:47:18 > 0:47:22Also Bishkek, Conakry, Dakar, Kuwait City, Lusaka,
0:47:22 > 0:47:25Palikir, Skopje, Sri Jayewardenepura Kotte in Sri Lanka,
0:47:25 > 0:47:29Windhoek, Yamoussoukro in Cote d'Ivoire. All of those are pointless answers.
0:47:29 > 0:47:31Well done if you said one of them.
0:47:31 > 0:47:33There's lots and lots
0:47:33 > 0:47:36and lots of London Underground stations that are pointless answers.
0:47:39 > 0:47:41Anything with a Park. There's loads of those.
0:47:41 > 0:47:42Belsize Park is a pointless answer.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44Canons Park, Chiswick Park. Then Goldhawk Road,
0:47:44 > 0:47:47Holland Park, Kew Gardens, Ladbroke Grove.
0:47:47 > 0:47:49St James's Park, a pointless answer.
0:47:49 > 0:47:53Stamford Brook, Ravenscourt Park, Regent's Park, Royal Oak, West Kensington, Westbourne Park.
0:47:53 > 0:47:56Lots and lots of pointless answers. Turnpike Lane as well.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59Well done if you said one of those. And unlucky, in the studio.
0:47:59 > 0:48:02That 60 seconds, it just goes so quickly, but three great answers.
0:48:02 > 0:48:04- Thank you.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:48:04 > 0:48:06Thank you so much, Debbie and Angelos.
0:48:06 > 0:48:10- It's been fantastic to have you on the show.- Thank you.- Superb play. Debbie and Angelos.
0:48:10 > 0:48:12- Thank you.- Well done.
0:48:12 > 0:48:13APPLAUSE
0:48:14 > 0:48:15Join us next time,
0:48:15 > 0:48:18when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:48:18 > 0:48:20- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:48:22 > 0:48:23APPLAUSE
