0:00:15 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and a very warm welcome to this special
0:00:26 > 0:00:29impressionist edition of Pointless Celebrities.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32The show where the aim of the game is to avoid the obvious answers and
0:00:32 > 0:00:34find the obscure ones.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Let's meet today's Pointless Celebrities.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42And couple number one.
0:00:42 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Francine Lewis and I was on Britain's Got Talent in 2013 as a
0:00:48 > 0:00:49finalist.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54I'm Danny Posthill, I was a finalist on Britain's Got Talent in 2015.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58APPLAUSE
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Couple number two.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03I'm Matt Ford, I'm an impressionist and a big supporter of
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Nottingham Forest.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08I'm Rory Bremner. On a good day, on a bad day, I'm Nigel Farage.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Couple number three.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19I'm Jan Ravens and I'm from Dead Ringers and I'm very surprised,
0:01:19 > 0:01:23- AS ANNE ROBINSON:- Alexander, that you've taken over my tea-time quiz crown!
0:01:23 > 0:01:25LAUGHTER
0:01:25 > 0:01:29And I'm Jon Culshaw, also from Dead Ringers.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31APPLAUSE
0:01:34 > 0:01:36And finally, couple number four.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Hello, I'm Ronni Ancona,
0:01:38 > 0:01:41I used to do Big Impression with this gentleman here, where I did people
0:01:41 > 0:01:43like Lorraine...
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- AS LORRAINE KELLY:- Welcome back, if you've just joined us, don't worry, you'll get a job soon, so you will.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50..Kelly. And various people, and...
0:01:50 > 0:01:55And I'm Gary Lineker and today I've assumed the facial shape and physical
0:01:55 > 0:01:57characteristics of Alistair McGowan.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:01:59 > 0:02:02APPLAUSE Thank you very much, all of you.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show as it goes along,
0:02:05 > 0:02:09so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce. He is the real McCoy.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Although, having said that, we did get him cheap in a Hong Kong street
0:02:12 > 0:02:15market. It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Hiya. Hi, everybody. - APPLAUSE
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Good evening to you.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- And to you.- You know, sometimes when we do this show and we have,
0:02:23 > 0:02:27like, historians or newsreaders or professors or things like that and it's
0:02:27 > 0:02:30such an easy evening, isn't it, it's lovely, they all behave themselves.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34There's just something about looking at these eight people that makes you think it might be a long evening!
0:02:34 > 0:02:39Do you know what I mean? But I suspect an immensely fun one as well.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- A nice first round. Everyone's going to have a little crack at this first round, it'll be a good one.- Lovely.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Thanks very much, Richard. Now, as usual, all of today's questions have been put to 100 people
0:02:47 > 0:02:51before the show. Our contestants here are on the lookout of course for those all-important pointless
0:02:51 > 0:02:54answers, these being answers that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Find one of those and we'll add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Now, as today's show is a celebrity special,
0:03:00 > 0:03:03each of our lovely celebrities here is playing for a nominated charity.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07We are going to start off with a jackpot of £2,500.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08There we are.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19OK, now, just remember this.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22The pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be
0:03:22 > 0:03:25eliminated. Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Our first category this evening is...
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- It's a people round.- A nice broad one!- Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go
0:03:32 > 0:03:34first, who's going to go second?
0:03:34 > 0:03:37And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43OK. So our question concerns...
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Yeah, we're going to show you a board of famous people,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52all of whose surnames begin O'.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Can you identify the most obscure people on this board?
0:03:55 > 0:03:5615 in all to have a go at home.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00OK, shall we have a look at that image? Here it comes.
0:04:01 > 0:04:0315 people, all of whose surnames
0:04:03 > 0:04:06begin with O', and obviously
0:04:06 > 0:04:07you're going to try and find the
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- most obscure. Francine.- Yes.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Huge welcome to Pointless. It's lovely to have you here. Now how was BGT?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I mean, is that as gladiatorial as it looks?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18I mean, do people look after you, is it a nice show?
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- IN GEORDIE ACCENT:- I was totally, utterly nervous, do you know?
0:04:21 > 0:04:26But I bet they couldn't believe they had somebody like me,
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Cheryl Versace-Versace, a superstar on there.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- LAUGHTER - But, no, I loved it.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Yeah, no, I loved it.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37It was such a great opportunity to go and showcase what I do and having
0:04:37 > 0:04:42Ant and Dec on the show, Simon Cowell, oh, you can't beat it, really.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- It's amazing.- Lovely.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Now, Francine, how are you feeling about these Os behind me?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Yeah, I know a couple of those.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50I'm going to go for...
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Sinead O'Connor.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Sinead O'Connor, says Francine.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Let's see how many of our 100 people went along with Sinead O'Connor.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01It's right.
0:05:04 > 0:05:0653.
0:05:06 > 0:05:0953 for Sinead O'Connor.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Yeah, there's Sinead O'Connor
0:05:10 > 0:05:11in the bottom right there.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Still best known for Nothing Compares 2 U.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16There we are. Now, Rory, welcome to Pointless.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- Hello.- Good to have you here.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Now, Rory, you've sort of been involved very much in political impressions,
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- haven't you? That seems to be your...- Well, no, I don't accept that at all.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- AS DAVID CAMERON:- I, no, no, I don't accept that at all.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30I think there are some pointless politicians and I think there's one
0:05:30 > 0:05:35pointless politician, is, is, is Ed Miliband, who is here.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40- AS ED MILIBAND:- Well, look, it's great to be here and I think the most important thing
0:05:40 > 0:05:44about Ed Miliband is the sort of bizarre head turn.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Alexander, look, it's about creating a new generation.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- And I think that proves the point. - LAUGHTER
0:05:51 > 0:05:53We've got a cabinet here, don't worry.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- I can see that.- Or there's William Hague, who Jon does very,
0:05:56 > 0:05:57very well indeed.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- AS WILLIAM HAGUE:- Yes, well, you say that but we must find out what the William Hague
0:06:01 > 0:06:05pronunciations of these people are.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- AS WILLIAM HAGUE:- He was Foreign Secretary because, as we know,
0:06:07 > 0:06:11we have a Prime Minister who thinks that Somalia is a wine waiter.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12LAUGHTER
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Right. Now, Rory, who would you like to go for?
0:06:17 > 0:06:21OK, I think, I am going to go for,
0:06:21 > 0:06:22in the middle row on the right,
0:06:22 > 0:06:25I'm going to go for Richard O'Brien.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Richard O'Brien, says Rory.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Let's see how many of our 100 people went along with Richard O'Brien.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36It's right. 53 is our only score and you pass it, look at that,
0:06:36 > 0:06:37down it goes.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Richard O'Brien down at 14, Rory.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42APPLAUSE
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Look at that on podium two.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Yeah, wrote the Rocky Horror Picture Show, Richard O'Brien, and perhaps even more famously
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- presented The Crystal Maze. - There we are, thank you, Richard.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Now, Jan, Jan, talking about impressions,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57do you work on your impressions on your own?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Do you find you sort of sit in a room on your own
0:06:59 > 0:07:01and find a character?
0:07:01 > 0:07:05N... Sometimes, sometimes they just sort of leap out at you and want to
0:07:05 > 0:07:09be done. I mean, I remember when I first saw Fiona Bruce on the telly
0:07:09 > 0:07:13and I just saw this person with this sort of glimmering stare going, "Hello,
0:07:13 > 0:07:17"I'm Fiona Bruce, it's not just my eyebrows that go up and down all night."
0:07:17 > 0:07:21And I thought, you know, what is this glimmering panther reading the news?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24It just kind of completely came out at me, but some of them you do have
0:07:24 > 0:07:27to sit at home and work on vowel sounds and you have to find a little...
0:07:27 > 0:07:30I could never do Judi Dench until she did the Bond
0:07:30 > 0:07:33films. When I heard her going, "So, James," you know.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- AS JUDI DENCH:- It suddenly became clear that Judi Dench had that sort of slight lisp,
0:07:36 > 0:07:39whereas when she'd been doing Shakespeare, I was sort of too intimidated by
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- her, you know?- Now, Jan. Look at all these Os.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44OK.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I'll go for Mark O'Dowd.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Mark O'Dowd, says Jan.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people went for
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Mark O'Dowd.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Oh, no!- Oh!
0:07:56 > 0:07:57What about that?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Everyone of us, including me, the tone in my voice said,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03"Oh, that's very clever." I, I...
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Yes, anyway. Mark O'Dowd not there.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08100 points is what you score there.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Sorry, it's going to be a short visit, then, isn't it?
0:08:10 > 0:08:13I'm so sorry, yeah, no Mark O'Dowd up there.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15I'll give all the correct answers at the end of the round.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Yes. Alistair.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- Hello.- Welcome.- Thank you.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Now, Alistair, you... After your world of impressions...
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Obviously, you started out on Spitting Image.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Yes.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Who were you on Spitting Image? Which were yours?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- AS JOHN MAJOR:- Well, I, at one time, was doing the John Major voice,
0:08:30 > 0:08:33with the famous peas sketch and that was very, very enjoyable.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Very enjoyable. And all sorts of people.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- AS DAVID COLEMAN:- The great, late David Coleman. Absolutely remarkable.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40He was one of my people, and I also shared the impression
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- AS CHRIS EUBANK:- of Chris Eubank with John Thomson. We used the alternate doing our Chris Eubanks,
0:08:44 > 0:08:48and that was one of the most enjoyable ones I've ever done, I think.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Very good indeed. Now, who are all these people?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Their surnames begin with O'.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- IRISH ACCENT:- Well, I was going to go for the one Jan just went for,
0:08:55 > 0:08:57but I won't.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- NORMAL VOICE:- So I'm actually going to gamble, I think...
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- Don't gamble. - ..on Maureen O'Hara.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04RONNI AND AUDIENCE GASP Oh, listen to that!
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Maureen O'Hara. Let's see if it's right.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Let's see how many of our 100 people said Maureen O'Hara.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- It's right.- Well done.- Now,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15100 was our high score, and you passed that some time ago.
0:09:15 > 0:09:1814 currently our low score, and you've passed that as well.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Down to 10. Very well done indeed.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Maureen O'Hara. APPLAUSE
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Oh, suddenly got very exciting.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Yes, a very strong answer.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Yeah, there she is in the bottom row in the middle.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Starred in How Green Was My Valley and lots of John Wayne films
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- as well.- Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Well,
0:09:32 > 0:09:35we're halfway through the round, so let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:35 > 0:09:3710, Alistair, very well done. The best score of that pass.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Alistair and Ronni looking particularly strong,
0:09:40 > 0:09:43as, I would say, are Rory and Matt, on 14 there.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Then we come up to 53,
0:09:44 > 0:09:48which is where we find Francine and Danny, and then up to 100, Jan.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52But Jon, there might be a scenario in which you survive at the end of this round.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- We'll see.- But it will rely on a low score from you,
0:09:54 > 0:09:56so good luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Ronni, remember we are looking for the names of these people whose
0:10:04 > 0:10:06surnames begin with O'.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Now, then, when you're acting, do you find, as an impressionist,
0:10:10 > 0:10:13that sometimes maybe you channel other people as well?
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Well, Alistair, my old mucker here, he tends to say, his first thing
0:10:17 > 0:10:21he tends to say when I've done various voices, you have said this,
0:10:21 > 0:10:24"There's always a little bit of Posh Spice coming through,"
0:10:24 > 0:10:27which is obviously my default position.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28I'm actually surprised that
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- AS POSH SPICE:- Posh hasn't been asked to do this, actually,
0:10:31 > 0:10:33because I know a lot about fashion.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- AS DAVID BECKHAM:- Yeah, and David obviously if the category
0:10:35 > 0:10:37was football, they'd be fine, wouldn't they?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- As long as it was football... - Or clothes.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40- Fashion. - Yeah, or fashion.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42They'd definitely do well on this programme.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Yeah, very well.- They wouldn't get many laughs, but...
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- NORMAL VOICE:- It just shows how people date!
0:10:47 > 0:10:48- NORMAL VOICE:- No, listen, I have to say,
0:10:48 > 0:10:51the thing is that, we all know each other very well,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54we're very close and the thing about impressionists is that
0:10:54 > 0:10:56they do play tricks on each other sometimes.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59I was doing a job with Louis Walsh, and Rory,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02who I used to tour with a million years ago,
0:11:02 > 0:11:05used to keep on going about "Oh, I do a really good Louis Walsh,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08"really good. I don't want to boast, but you should hear my Louis Walsh."
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- AS WALSH:- That's absolutely not true, that's so not true!
0:11:11 > 0:11:13It's a great voice, but it wasn't true.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17I was working with Louis and I said "Will you do me a favour, Louis?"
0:11:17 > 0:11:20"Will you go on the phone to a friend of mine?"
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Rang up Rory and said,
0:11:21 > 0:11:24"Rory, I know you said your Louis Walsh is really good
0:11:24 > 0:11:28"but there's this young impressionist here and oh, my God,
0:11:28 > 0:11:32"his Louis Walsh is just spectacular."
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I passed the phone on to Louis Walsh,
0:11:34 > 0:11:39Louis does Louis down the phone, and then Rory, on the phone back to me,
0:11:39 > 0:11:42goes, "Oh, I don't think it was that good!
0:11:42 > 0:11:46"A lot of the vowel sounds were out." I kid you not!
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- Now, Ronni, back to our Os over here.- Oh, sorry. Sorry.
0:11:49 > 0:11:5389 points or less, and you're into the next round.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57OK. I'm going to go the top left-hand corner.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01I think that's the lead singer of The Cranberries,
0:12:01 > 0:12:06and I think that's Dolores O'Roar...
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Dolores O'...
0:12:07 > 0:12:10You sure you don't want to go for somebody more...?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- Somebody you know the name of might be a better idea!- O'Riordan.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- O'Riordan.- That's not conferring. - O'Riordan.- O'Riordan?
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- Yeah, Dolores O'Riordan. - Dolores O'Riordan.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19We just have to see if it's right. Dolores O'Riordan.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Here is your red line. If you can get below that red line with
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Dolores O'Riordan, you are home and dry.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Dolores O'Riordan.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32It's right. Very well done, indeed. Ronni, through you go.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35And it's a great answer as well.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Look at that. It's our lowest score of the round.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40One for Dolores O'Riordan. APPLAUSE
0:12:40 > 0:12:43That scores you one. Takes your total up to 11.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Very well done indeed.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47That's a terrific answer, Ronni. very well played.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Yeah, The Cranberries sold 40 million albums worldwide.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Jon. Actually, talking of ringing up,
0:12:53 > 0:12:57actually, the havoc you can cause by ringing people up.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59And obviously your William Hague, you know,
0:12:59 > 0:13:01you rang up Tony Blair as William Hague,
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- and got put all the way through.- Yes, it was...
0:13:04 > 0:13:08I'd only done the William Hague impression for a couple of weeks,
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- AS HAGUE:- but he had such a distinctive sound and the stretching
0:13:12 > 0:13:16out of the words, and a very generous person on the switchboard
0:13:16 > 0:13:18who put me then through to Tony Blair who was,
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- AS BLAIR:- you know, in a quite, you know, good mood.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23He was still chirpy in those days, you know,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- AS BLAIR/DALEK:- before he'd sort of turned into a Dalek in later time.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- NORMAL VOICE:- So yes, it was a very unexpected little moment.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I think I ought to tell you, Jon,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35now, 20 years on, that it wasn't Tony Blair, either.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36LAUGHTER
0:13:38 > 0:13:39Matt, how could you?!
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- Jon, there you are. You're our high-scorers on 100.- OK.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46We need a low score from you.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47Well, I'll try the one that
0:13:47 > 0:13:51we did in our first round and I'll go for Chris O'Dowd.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52Chris O'Dowd.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Chris O'Dowd. OK, no red line for you as you're the high-scorers.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Let's see how far down the column you can get with Chris O'Dowd.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02It's right.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08See, there we are. Look at that. 11.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Very well done indeed. APPLAUSE
0:14:12 > 0:14:14You might have kept yourself in the game there, Jon.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- 111 is your total. - Yeah, Chris O'Dowd.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19I'm sorry, Jan. There he is in the top right.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Still probably best known as Roy from The IT Crowd.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23There we are. OK, and Matt, welcome to Pointless.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- Hello.- Great to have you here. Now, you're quite politically involved
0:14:26 > 0:14:32as well as being a political commentator. Do you find that, does that colour your impressions at all?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Not so much. The problem is that I meet a lot of the politicians that I
0:14:35 > 0:14:37then end up impersonating.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I remember I met George Galloway.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42We both used to do shows on TalkSport radio, and he'd be on
0:14:42 > 0:14:44before me and I'd be on after.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Galloway knew that I was a Blairite
0:14:45 > 0:14:47and the first handover he did with me, he goes,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- AS GALLOWAY:- "Well, coming up after midnight on TalkSport is a man
0:14:50 > 0:14:53"who supported the illegal invasion of Iraq.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55"Matt, what's coming up after midnight?"
0:14:55 > 0:14:58"John Terry and the England captaincy, George,
0:14:58 > 0:15:02"and old coat hangers. What do you do with yours? Give us a call."
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Thank you very much for that. Matt, listen. You're on 14.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09If you can score 96 or less, which one would hope would be relatively easy...
0:15:09 > 0:15:12The one in the middle, I think I know.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Shall I just go with the one that's definitely right?
0:15:14 > 0:15:18OK. I'm going to play it safe and I'm going to go
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- with Brian O'Driscoll. - Brian O'Driscoll, says Matt.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Let's see if Brian O'Driscoll's right.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Here's your red line. Look how... Couldn't be higher, look at that.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28There you are. Look, well done, you're through.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32It's fine. It's fine, and it's a really good answer.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33It's a really good answer.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Look at that, 18. APPLAUSE
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Taking your total up to 32.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Yeah, one of the true rugby greats, Brian O'Driscoll, for Ireland.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Wonderful. Now, Danny. Welcome to Pointless.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- Thank you so much. - Great to have you here.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- Congratulations. Britain's Got Talent.- Yeah.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52A, that's a really tough crowd, isn't it, to come out in front of?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Yeah, absolutely, I mean when you got impressionists like Francine
0:15:55 > 0:15:58you've got to follow, you know, two years on it's difficult, you know.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00This is amazing. Thanks for having me on.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03I'm on with all me heroes here. This is incredible, you know, so...
0:16:03 > 0:16:05But the other thing about Britain's Got Talent,
0:16:05 > 0:16:06presumably is, you know,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09if you know you're good enough or if you reckon you're good enough to get
0:16:09 > 0:16:11through, you can't come out and do all your big stuff
0:16:11 > 0:16:13but it's got to be good enough in Round One to get in.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- AS MICHAEL MCINTYRE:- Well, obviously, when I started my first
0:16:15 > 0:16:18audition, I done Michael McIntyre. Yes!
0:16:18 > 0:16:20He's my favourite, he likes to mumble quite a lot,
0:16:20 > 0:16:22the moving of the head. Moving the head with Michael.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25And people sort of look at me and think, "It's Michael McIntyre's face
0:16:25 > 0:16:29"with Harry Hill's head. It's a nightmare."
0:16:29 > 0:16:31- AS JOHN BISHOP:- You know, and I also done John Bishop.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34John's one of me favourites, I'll be honest with you, because John,
0:16:34 > 0:16:38little old me, look at me, I'm selling out arenas, me, John Bishop,
0:16:38 > 0:16:41little old me! Honestly, I got stopped in Morrison's last week,
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- he said, "Put that back." - LAUGHTER
0:16:45 > 0:16:50- So, Danny.- Yeah.- There you are, on 53. You have to score 57 or less.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- This is pressure. - It is pressure. It is pressure.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- AS- DARA O'BRIAIN: Let's just see, I have actually done
0:16:55 > 0:16:58an impression of the person who actually I'm thinking of.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59I'm actually going to say Dara O' Briain.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Dara O' Briain, says Danny, and here is your red line.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05You've got to get below that with Dara O' Briain.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09It's right.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- You've done it.- Yes! - Very well done indeed.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Down it goes. 29. APPLAUSE
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Superb.
0:17:17 > 0:17:1982 is your total.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Very well played, Danny. Terrific answer.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Let's go through the rest of this board.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25Now, Matt, you had a little thought
0:17:25 > 0:17:26about the guy in the middle.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- Yes.- Who do you think that was? - I thought it was Patrice O'Neal.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- It's Shaquille O'Neal.- Oh!
0:17:31 > 0:17:32- Just as well.- It's Shaquille O'Neal.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Would have scored three points, though, if you had got his name
0:17:36 > 0:17:39right, it would have been a great answer. So, in a way, well done.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41- Now, let's look at the...- And Richard, on the golfer,
0:17:41 > 0:17:43if we'd said Christy O'Connor, would you have said,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46"No, it's got to be Christy O'Connor Jr?"
0:17:46 > 0:17:48If you'd said Christy O'Connor, I would have said
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- "No, it's got to be Mark O'Meara." - LAUGHTER
0:17:51 > 0:17:53There you go! You see?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Oh, well, of course, I couldn't see cos of the hat!
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- And the arm.- That is Mark O'Meara, would have scored you five points.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05The only pointless answer on the board is next to Mark O'Meara there.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Eugene O'Neill. Very well done if you said that at home.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Next to him, Daniel O'Donnell, of course,
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Daniel O'Donnell would have scored 33.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Second row, Paul O'Grady, 55.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Ronnie O'Sullivan, 48.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18And on the bottom row there, Tina O'Brien from Corrie,
0:18:18 > 0:18:2110 points, and Dermot O'Leary with 44.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24So, the best answer on the board Eugene O'Neill.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29So, we are at the end of our first round, and I'm sorry to say,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- Jon and Jan, you are our high-scorers with 111.- Aww!
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- I'm so sorry.- I'm so sorry. - It's been lovely having you on.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Thank you so much for playing. Jon and Jan, fabulous.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38APPLAUSE
0:18:39 > 0:18:42But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49And so, just like that, we are down to three pairs.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51At the end of this round, we will have to say goodbye to another pair
0:18:51 > 0:18:53in time for our head-to-head round.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Ronni, hats off to you.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Dolores O'Riordan, fabulous answer there.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59- Very well done. - I just... Well...
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- Oh, we had a good one from you, Rory, as well.- Yeah.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04And we had Richard O'Brien, which is our second lowest score as well,
0:19:04 > 0:19:05- so very well done.- Rocky Horror.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07And very well done, Francine and Danny as well.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Great to have you all here for Round Two.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Our category for Round Two this evening...
0:19:13 > 0:19:15..is musicians.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18It's musicians. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:19:18 > 0:19:19who's going to go second?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30OK, and the question is all about...
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- musicians in haiku. - What? What?
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I don't even know where that is.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37- I hope this is multiple choice! - Musicians in haiku.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38It's not as bad as it sounds.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41We are going to give you six clues on each board.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43The answer to each clue is a famous musician.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47But the clues are in the form of a haiku - that's a Japanese poem -
0:19:47 > 0:19:49five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51But it's simply clues to famous musicians.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Six on the first board, six on the second,
0:19:53 > 0:19:5512 in all to have a go at it at home.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56- Best of luck.- There we are.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58So, not that bad, as it turns out.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Here's our first board of haikus. And we have...
0:20:30 > 0:20:32I shall read those all one last time.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Francine.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Oh. OK, so the top one, which is going to be Madness.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02OK. Francine is saying Madness.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Madness.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10It's right.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- Oh!- 73.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Not bad. APPLAUSE
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Not bad. 73.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16A whole lot better than 100.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Yeah. Do you know, House Of Fun was their only ever UK number one,
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Madness?- Isn't that extraordinary? - Isn't that mental when you think
0:21:22 > 0:21:24- of the amount of hits they had? - Yeah.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26There we are. Thank you very much.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- Matt.- Yeah.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- Aha.- Ha-ha!
0:21:30 > 0:21:33I'm thinking tactically here.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37I'm going to go for the bottom one, which is Daft Punk.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38Daft Punk, says Matt.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- Very good. - Let's see if that's right.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Daft Punk.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46It's right.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Oh, it's a good answer, as well. Look at that. Down it goes to 15!
0:21:52 > 0:21:53- Oh!- Very well done indeed, Matt.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55APPLAUSE Superb.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- 15. Good job. - Yeah, always wear those helmets.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Beneath the helmets they are Thomas Bangalter
0:22:00 > 0:22:02and Shaquille O'Neal.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Now, then, Alistair. This board is all yours.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11If you wanted to go through all those haikus.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13I only know two of those.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18I just hope that not that many people remember
0:22:18 > 0:22:19Eminem.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- Eminem. - Who was the rapper from Detroit.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Slim Shady, says Alistair. Let's see if that's right.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Eminem.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30It's right.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31You pass 73.
0:22:31 > 0:22:3556. There we are. 56 for Eminem. APPLAUSE
0:22:37 > 0:22:42He won the silver medal in the 1997 Rap Olympics, Eminem,
0:22:42 > 0:22:43back when he was Marshall Mathers.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Wow. Who took gold?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Maria Sharapova. - LAUGHTER
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Now, let's fill in the rest of this board, shall we?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- Destiny's Child star... - Beyonce.- Beyonce.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Look at that score, though, 70.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01- Big score. Disco supergroup... - Earth, Wind And Fire.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- Oh, wow.- 17 for that, would have been a great answer.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Now, you know this is the Spice Girls.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06What do you think this would score?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09I would have thought probably in the 80s. 87.
0:23:09 > 0:23:1096.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- No!- 96 points.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17- Look at that.- How about that? The best answer on the board was Daft Punk, Matt Forde, well done.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20There we go. Thank you very much indeed. Well, we're halfway through
0:23:20 > 0:23:22the round. Let's take a look at those scores to see where we are.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- Now, 15, Matt. Very well done indeed.- Thank you.- Then up to 56.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Quite a big hike up there where we find Alistair and Ronni.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30And then across to 73, where we find Francine and Danny.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Now, you're not far ahead, but you are ahead.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35So, Danny, let's find a nice low-scoring answer on this next board.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- It's all up to you. - Very best of luck with that.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40That, I hope, will keep you in the game. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:45 > 0:23:50OK, let's put six more haikus up on the board, and here they come.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51We have got...
0:24:16 > 0:24:18I'll read those all one last time.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- Ronni.- OK.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46This is... This is quite a well-known answer,
0:24:46 > 0:24:50but I'm going to go for Page and Plant's rock group.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- And that's Led Zeppelin. - Led Zeppelin, says Ronni.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54Led Zeppelin. Here is your red line.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57If you get below that red line, you are definitely in the head-to-head.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Let's see how many of our 100 people said Led Zeppelin.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03It's right.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Not bad. 34.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12APPLAUSE 34.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13This is going to be very, very interesting.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15You might have kept yourselves in the game there.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- 90 is your total. - Not a bad answer at all.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Led Zeppelin II spent over 100 weeks in the charts in the top 40,
0:25:21 > 0:25:24and it knocked Abbey Road off number one.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Thank you very much, Richard.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27Now, then, Rory.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- Hello.- Rory. 74 or less.- Righto. OK.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35I'm going to go with the '80s synth pop band, which Russell Harty
0:25:35 > 0:25:37memorably described as "Dorren Dorren".
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- It's Duran Duran. - OK, Duran Duran.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40Here is your red line. Nice and high.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42If you can get below that with Duran Duran,
0:25:42 > 0:25:44you are through to the head-to-head.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Let's see how many of our 100 people said Duran Duran.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51It's right. And you're through.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Oh, just! Look at that! APPLAUSE
0:25:53 > 0:25:55- Not by much! - That's a tight fit.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Back to the '80s. 68, taking your total up to 83.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Yeah, Andy Taylor famously got injured filming
0:26:01 > 0:26:03the Save A Prayer video. He fell out of a tree.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05That's not what injured him.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07He fell into a lake which is also not what injured him.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08He then caught a bug from the lake,
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- because it was an elephant toilet. - MURMURS OF DISGUST
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- That's nice, isn't it? - It is nice.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Now, Danny. You have to score 16 or less.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19- Yeah.- But you have all of this board to choose from.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Do you want to walk us through it?
0:26:21 > 0:26:24There's sort of two that are left that I would know.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27I'm going to go with...
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- ..Madonna. - For which one?
0:26:29 > 0:26:30The... Sort of...
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- Holiday. - Holiday, there we go.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Fourth one down. Madonna, says Danny.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- That's going to be high. - Well, there is your red line.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38You have to get below that red line with Madonna.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Let's see if that is the queen of pop.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Let's see how many of our 100 people said Madonna.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47It's right.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Ooh! Look at that, 82! APPLAUSE
0:26:50 > 0:26:51I knew it would be a high answer.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54It was just... It was either that one or the one at the bottom.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57And it was just very obvious. I didn't know the rest, so...
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Danny, that's a punishingly high score there.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02It scores you 82, takes your total up to 155.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05So, let's fill in the rest of these, and start at the bottom there.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07The X Factor one. One Direction.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09That would have scored you 72 points.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11- The Davies brothers were... - The Kinks.- The Kinks.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15That was 45. The best answer on the board was born Dylan Mills.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- Dizzee Rascal. - Dizzee Rascal, Matt.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Absolutely. It would have scored you six points.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21- Who knew?- Matt knew.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23There we are. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25So, at the end of the second round, the pair we have to say goodbye to,
0:27:25 > 0:27:27with their high score of 155,
0:27:27 > 0:27:29I'm so sorry, Danny and Francine, 'tis you.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32It's been lovely having you on. Thank you so much for playing.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36- Thank you.- Danny and Francine. APPLAUSE
0:27:36 > 0:27:38But for Alistair and Ronni, Rory and Matt,
0:27:38 > 0:27:40it's time for our head-to-head. APPLAUSE
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Congratulations, Alistair and Ronni, Rory and Matt.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49You're now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for that
0:27:49 > 0:27:53jackpot, which currently stands at £2,500.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55APPLAUSE
0:27:56 > 0:27:59So, this is the point where we have to decide who plays
0:27:59 > 0:28:02for that jackpot, and we do it by making you go head-to-head.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04But the difference is you can play as teams from here on in.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06You can chat before you give your answers.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08The first pair to win two questions
0:28:08 > 0:28:09will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Here's your first question, and it concerns...
0:28:23 > 0:28:25- What?- Female actors in male roles, Richard.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28I'm going to show you five pictures now of female actors being or
0:28:28 > 0:28:29pretending to be men.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31We just need you to tell us the name of the actors, please.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- Very best of luck.- OK, let's reveal our five female actors.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Here they come. We have got...
0:28:58 > 0:29:01There we are. Five female actors in male roles.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Alistair and Ronni. You've been our low scorers up to this point,
0:29:04 > 0:29:08- so you will go first. - Oh, really? Oh!
0:29:08 > 0:29:10- OK.- We're going to go with D.
0:29:10 > 0:29:11Yeah.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- Cate Blanchett. - Cate Blanchett...
0:29:14 > 0:29:15As Bob Dylan.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18..say Alistair and Ronni. Cate Blanchett. Now, Rory and Matt.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20That board's all yours. Do you want to talk us through it
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- and have a shot at each one? - A is Gwyneth Paltrow, we think.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25B is Barbra Streisand.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27C is Kathy Burke, definitely Kathy Burke.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29And D and E, we don't know.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32We'll go with Kathy Burke, I think.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34OK. We're going to say C, Kathy Burke.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39C, Kathy Burke. So, we have D, Cate Blanchett and C, Kathy Burke.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43Alistair and Ronni have said that Cate Blanchett is D.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people went for
0:29:46 > 0:29:47Cate Blanchett.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50It's right, it is Cate Blanchett.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Oh, it's good. Down it goes. Look at that. Down it goes.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Two, that's a brilliant answer. APPLAUSE
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Very well done indeed, Alistair and Ronni.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Cate Blanchett,
0:30:03 > 0:30:07absolutely right there. Now, Rory and Matt, went for C, Kathy Burke.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Let's see if it's right, let's see if that has paid off.
0:30:13 > 0:30:14OK, so it's correct.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Lower, lower, lower. Come on, get lower.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22- There we are. 30.- It's not bad. - APPLAUSE
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Not bad at all, but it means very well done, Alistair and Ronni,
0:30:24 > 0:30:27after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28Now, A is Gwyneth Paltrow,
0:30:28 > 0:30:31would have been a slightly better score than Kathy Burke,
0:30:31 > 0:30:34but wouldn't have won you the point. 21 points for that.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36B, of course, is Barbra Streisand.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39That's a bigger scorer, 56.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Now, E, it's a pointless answer.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45If you look very closely, it's a very young Shaquille O'Neal.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51It's actually the first person ever to play Peter Pan on film.
0:30:51 > 0:30:52It's Betty Bronson.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Very well done if you said that. You got yourself a pointless answer.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Thanks very much indeed. So, here comes your second question.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Rory and Matt, you get to answer it first but you have to win this one
0:31:00 > 0:31:03to stay in the game, so best of luck with that.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Our second question this evening is all about...
0:31:07 > 0:31:10The nation's favourite paintings.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Simply going to give you five paintings now from a poll of
0:31:13 > 0:31:16the nation's favourite paintings, but we've missed out
0:31:16 > 0:31:18alternate letters from the names of the paintings.
0:31:18 > 0:31:19Can you tell us what they are, please?
0:31:19 > 0:31:22OK, thanks very much. Let's reveal our five paintings.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24And here they are, with missing bits.
0:31:24 > 0:31:25We've got...
0:31:42 > 0:31:43I'll read those again.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Now, Rory and Matt will go first.
0:31:57 > 0:31:58OK.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02OK, this could be wrong, but we'll go for it anyway, OK?
0:32:03 > 0:32:06We are going to go for the top one, Rembrandt, it's The Night Watch.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08The Night Watch, say Rory and Matt.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11The Night Watch. Now then, Alistair and Ronni.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13Do you want to talk us through the others?
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Yes, well, the Hay Wain is the Constable,
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Water Lilies is the Monet.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Sunflowers is the Van Gogh.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23But we think we're going to go for Hockney.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27Which is A Bigger Splash.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28- A Bigger Splash. MATT:- Of course!
0:32:28 > 0:32:30So we have The Night Watch, and we have A Bigger Splash.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Can we...?
0:32:32 > 0:32:34I think that one might be right, so...
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- Yeah, it is.- Rory and Matt have gone for The Night Watch.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said
0:32:39 > 0:32:41- The Night Watch. - That's a very good answer.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44- Hockney wins it, I'm sure. - No, I think...
0:32:44 > 0:32:45- I think you're fine. - Here we go.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47It's right, The Night Watch.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Oh, that's brilliant.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Down it goes. Not bad at all. Still going down. Look at that.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Down it goes to 18, not bad at all. APPLAUSE
0:32:53 > 0:32:5418 for the Night Watch.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01- AS BRUCE FORSYTH:- What do you think? Lower? Higher? Higher or lower?
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Alistair and Ronni have gone for A Bigger Splash.
0:33:04 > 0:33:05I think it's lower.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our
0:33:07 > 0:33:09100 people said A Bigger Splash.
0:33:12 > 0:33:13It is right.
0:33:19 > 0:33:20And it wins you the point.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Look at that. Down it goes to four, very well done indeed.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24APPLAUSE After two questions,
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Alistair and Ronni, that is decisive.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- You are straight through to the final, 2-0.- Very, very impressive.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Well played. Great performance.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33And the best two answers on the board as well, so well played,
0:33:33 > 0:33:39both teams there. The Hay Wain, John Constable would have scored you 47.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Water Lilies would have scored you 67.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46And Sunflowers would have scored you 55.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48So, well done at home if you said A Bigger Splash.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Thank you very much, Richard.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid,
0:33:52 > 0:33:55- Rory and Matt.- I'm sorry.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58- I'm sorry.- It's going to take them years to get over it.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01He won't talk to me now for at least a fortnight.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05- Not as myself. - That is such good news.
0:34:05 > 0:34:06- LAUGHTER - There's an upside.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09The consolation is that it's been lovely having you on.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Thank you so much for playing. Rory and Matt, fantastic.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13APPLAUSE
0:34:14 > 0:34:17But for Ronni and Alistair, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19APPLAUSE
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Congratulations, Alistair and Ronni.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26You have fought off all the competition and you have won
0:34:26 > 0:34:28our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36I'm so excited about that.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:38 > 0:34:43At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,500.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45APPLAUSE
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Well, what a performance.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53The whole way through. 2-0 in the head-to-head, but both your scores,
0:34:53 > 0:34:56single figure scores, absolutely fantastic.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58You know what happens in this last round,
0:34:58 > 0:35:00we put four sort of semi-impossible things up on the board and you pick
0:35:00 > 0:35:02the one that scares you the least,
0:35:02 > 0:35:05and hope there's something behind it that you can flounder around in.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Thanks, Xander. I feel strangely comforted now(!)
0:35:08 > 0:35:11It's how it works. Today's choices look like this.
0:35:12 > 0:35:13You have got...
0:35:20 > 0:35:23So it's between Seans and sport, I think.
0:35:23 > 0:35:24What do you think?
0:35:24 > 0:35:26I can't believe I'm going to say this,
0:35:26 > 0:35:29because I would be better at Acting Seans,
0:35:29 > 0:35:31but I think, under pressure,...
0:35:31 > 0:35:34And you've got everything right so far, this is my moment.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37- Yes, it's his... - So Sport in 2003, it is.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39- There we are. - OK, very best of luck.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Three very different questions here.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43One of these might suit you very nicely, I think.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46We're looking for any of the 20 drivers who scored
0:35:46 > 0:35:49at least one point in the 2003 Formula 1 championship.
0:35:49 > 0:35:50- Oh, no! - That's not a sport!
0:35:50 > 0:35:54We are looking for anyone who played in the Cricket World Cup final...
0:35:54 > 0:35:56When you said you were good at sport...
0:35:56 > 0:35:59..between Australia and India, the 11 players on each of those teams.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Or we're looking for any of the England squad who played in the
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Rugby World Cup final against Australia.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Any of the 19 people who actually went onto the pitch
0:36:07 > 0:36:10for England against Australia in that final.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13So Formula 1 drivers, anyone who scored at least a point,
0:36:13 > 0:36:15anyone from the Australian and Indian teams in the
0:36:15 > 0:36:19Cricket World Cup final, or any of the 19 players in the England squad
0:36:19 > 0:36:24who actually played at some point during the World Cup final in 2003.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26- Against Australia. - OK, now, as always,
0:36:26 > 0:36:29you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of your answers to be
0:36:31 > 0:36:35- pointless. Are you ready? - Yes.- Good.
0:36:35 > 0:36:36Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Right, Ronni, you watched the rugby World Cup final, I didn't.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43So who was in that team? There was Jonny Wilkinson.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45- Martin Johnson. - Martin Johnson.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47- Lewis Moody, I think. - Lewis Moody.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49- Jonny Wilkinson.- Is he the one with the bad nose?
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Attractive but with a bad nose.
0:36:51 > 0:36:52I don't know. Matt somebody.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- Matt...- Matt Dawson.- Matt from Question Of Sport, Matt Dawson.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57I think it's not going to be pointless.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Lewis Moody might be pointless.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01- But we need somebody further down that list.- Oh, no. Oh, no.
0:37:01 > 0:37:02- I have no idea. - You watched it.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04- I didn't watch it.- You did.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06You watched it. You watched it all the way through.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08We were making our show and we argued about it because I said
0:37:08 > 0:37:11"I don't care." And you said, "I want to watch it, but my husband..."
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Strangely enough, that was a long time ago and I can't remember
0:37:13 > 0:37:16- much about rugby players now. - So you've got Martin Johnson,
0:37:16 > 0:37:17he's not going to be pointless.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Lewis Moody, I think.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21- Lewis Moody. - Who else has gone on to manage?
0:37:21 > 0:37:24Because they have probably all become managers or pundits.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26I don't know. I don't know.
0:37:27 > 0:37:28Who was in goal? Who played in goal?
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- Ten seconds left. - Trick question.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35I don't know. Sorry, I went for the sport.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Cricketers, I haven't got a clue. Formula 1 is not a sport!
0:37:38 > 0:37:42OK, that is your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44So we've got to go for the Rugby World Cup.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45We only know the main ones.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47They're not going to be pointless.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49We will go for Martin Johnson.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51- Martin Johnson. - Who everyone will know.
0:37:51 > 0:37:52Matt Dawson, but...
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- Matt Dawson.- And I think there was somebody called Lewis Moody,
0:37:55 > 0:37:56who I met at a party and was very nice.
0:37:56 > 0:37:57He had a squashed nose.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00And Lewis Moody, but you thought was handsome, which is nice.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02- He's a very nice man. - There we are.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- answer?- Lewis Moody.- Lewis Moody. - Lewis Moody goes last.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10If he exists. He might have been in Pink Floyd, I'm not sure.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12I like the parties you go to, Alistair, I have to say.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14I can't believe you wanted sport!
0:38:14 > 0:38:15So, Lewis Moody goes last.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Least likely person to be pointless?
0:38:17 > 0:38:19- Matt Dawson.- OK.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23And here they are. We have...
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Well, very, very best of luck. Three good answers up there.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32What are your charities?
0:38:32 > 0:38:34If you were to win and that money were to go to your charity.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- Is this it? Is this the last thing? - Yes.- We don't have another...?
0:38:37 > 0:38:40OK, Sight Savers, which is an amazing charity that goes to Africa
0:38:40 > 0:38:44and does cataract operations and corneas...
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Amazing. Saves the sight of hundreds of thousands of people.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51- Wonderful. Alistair? - Mine is Tusk Trust,
0:38:51 > 0:38:53who do wonderful work to save these beautiful elephants
0:38:53 > 0:38:56that we are threatening with extinction, from that awful fate.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Very good. APPLAUSE
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Two excellent charities there.
0:39:01 > 0:39:06Let's hope one of these answers will win that jackpot for your charities.
0:39:06 > 0:39:07So your first answer was Matt Dawson.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09In this case, and in fact in every case,
0:39:09 > 0:39:15we are looking for England squad members who played in the 2003
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Rugby World Cup final. Any English player.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Only one of your answers has to be pointless for you to win that
0:39:20 > 0:39:22jackpot of £2,500 for your charities.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Let's see how many people said Matt Dawson.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Is it right? Is it pointless?
0:39:30 > 0:39:32OK, well, Matt Dawson is absolutely right.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Taking us down through the 50s, through the 40s,
0:39:34 > 0:39:36if it goes all the way down to zero,
0:39:36 > 0:39:39your charities will benefit to the tune of £2,500.
0:39:39 > 0:39:40Down it goes through the single figures.
0:39:40 > 0:39:435, that's great. APPLAUSE
0:39:45 > 0:39:49- This is a fantastic answer. - I didn't expect that.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Do people not watch A Question Of Sport?
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Now, there we are. The last three answers you've given
0:39:53 > 0:39:55have been single figure scores. Fantastic, congratulations.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Sadly, not a pointless answer, though.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00And at this stage, we are only interested in pointless answers.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03Let's hope nobody said your next answer, which was Martin Johnson.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Again, we're looking for England players
0:40:05 > 0:40:09in the 2003 Rugby World Cup final. Let's see how many of how many
0:40:09 > 0:40:12of our 100 people said Martin Johnson, for £2,500,
0:40:12 > 0:40:13is it pointless?
0:40:16 > 0:40:18- Again, it's right.- It's right.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Matt Dawson took us all the way down to 5.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Martin Johnson now takes this down through the 30s.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Through the 20s, into the teens.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Down it goes. Oh, 15. 15 for Martin Johnson.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33APPLAUSE
0:40:33 > 0:40:34- OK.- You have no idea. - I don't know if he exists.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38Now, everything is riding on your third and final answer,
0:40:38 > 0:40:41which you had no hesitation putting last, Lewis Moody.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Let's find out in this case.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Lewis Moody. We are looking for England players from the
0:40:48 > 0:40:492003 Rugby World Cup final.
0:40:49 > 0:40:55For £2,500, how many people said Lewis Moody? Does he exist?
0:40:58 > 0:40:59- He does.- He exists!
0:40:59 > 0:41:01He very much exists.
0:41:01 > 0:41:02And he's a correct answer.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Now, your first answer, Matt Dawson, took us down to 5.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Your second answer, Martin Johnson, down to 15.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09- We have passed 15.- Oh, no, no, no.- We're in to single figures.
0:41:09 > 0:41:10Past 5, down it goes, it still goes down.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Yes, you've done it! APPLAUSE
0:41:21 > 0:41:25Superb. Brilliant. Very well done indeed.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27I knew something about rugby!
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Well, congratulations, Lewis Moody, of course he exists.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32He's a pointless answer.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35Which means you go home with that £2,500 for your charities.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Very well done indeed, Alistair and Ronni.
0:41:37 > 0:41:44APPLAUSE
0:41:44 > 0:41:47And that's also terrific validation for Lewis Moody, that he does exist.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51That's very good news. Yes, 71 caps for England, Lewis Moody.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Flanker. And he once met you at a party, I believe.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56- Yes.- And it turns out to be a very fortuitous meeting.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00Quite. I don't remember any of the others. They didn't meet me.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Let's take a look now at the answers in the different categories.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06We'll start with Formula 1. Lots of people know their Formula 1.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08There's some answers you'll get here.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Also could have had Cristiano di Mata, Heinz-Harald Frentzen,
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Justin Wilson, the Brit, Marc Gene, Olivier Panis,
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Ralph Firman and Takuma Sato. All of those pointless answers.
0:42:21 > 0:42:22Very well done if you said any of those.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26- Not a sport. - It's not a sport, apparently.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Let's take a look at the cricketers now.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Everyone apart from Ricky Ponting, Glenn McGrath, Sachin Tendulkar,
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Adam Gilchrist, Matthew Hayden and Brett Lee.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Everyone else was a pointless answer, in that final.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Let's take a look at rugby now.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Some big names here from English rugby.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Also could have hired Ian Balshaw, Steve Thompson and Trevor Woodman.
0:42:52 > 0:42:53All of those were pointless answers.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Very well done if you got any of those at home,
0:42:55 > 0:42:57and terrific stuff in the studio.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59- Also, a lot of jeopardy, right? - Absolutely.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01You left it right to the end, which was perfect.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04- That's how we like it. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06And thanks once again to our winning players, Alistair and Ronni,
0:43:06 > 0:43:10who go away with today's jackpot of £2,500 for their charities.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12Very well done. APPLAUSE
0:43:14 > 0:43:17Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge
0:43:17 > 0:43:19to the test on Pointless. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23Goodbye.
