APPLAUSE

0:00:130:00:16

Thank you very much indeed.

0:00:220:00:23

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

0:00:230:00:26

to this special Strictly edition of Pointless Celebrities,

0:00:260:00:29

the show where obvious answers mean nothing

0:00:290:00:32

and obscure answers mean everything.

0:00:320:00:33

Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities.

0:00:330:00:36

APPLAUSE

0:00:360:00:39

-Couple number one.

-I'm Russell Grant and I once got shot out of a canon.

0:00:400:00:45

I'm Chris Hollins and I think I won it in 2009.

0:00:450:00:50

-I know I was drunk but I definitely didn't dance with you!

-No.

0:00:500:00:53

-I'm sure about that.

-It's true, he didn't.

0:00:530:00:56

APPLAUSE

0:00:560:00:59

Couple number two.

0:00:590:01:01

Hi, I'm Jay McGuiness, Glitterball champion.

0:01:010:01:03

OTHER CONTESTANTS GROAN APPLAUSE

0:01:030:01:06

I'm Aliona Vilani and I'm the better half of that winning Glitterball.

0:01:060:01:11

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:01:110:01:15

Couple number three.

0:01:150:01:17

I'm Erin Boag and I did ten years of Strictly Come Dancing

0:01:170:01:20

and I dance professionally with Anton.

0:01:200:01:23

-That's me.

-LAUGHTER

0:01:230:01:25

I'm Anton Du Beke and I wished I danced with Brendan Cole.

0:01:250:01:29

Ah...

0:01:290:01:31

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:01:310:01:33

-And, finally, couple number four.

-And that is me.

0:01:330:01:37

-And I wished I'd danced with Anton Du Beke as well.

-We'd have won.

0:01:370:01:40

But, unfortunately, Anton, this is my favourite partner and she is...

0:01:400:01:43

-I am Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

-Nice timing, see that?

0:01:440:01:47

We worked on that. Maybe that's why we didn't win.

0:01:470:01:49

-Yeah, I'm Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Brendan taught me how to dance.

-Ah.

0:01:490:01:53

APPLAUSE

0:01:530:01:55

Welcome, all of you.

0:01:550:01:57

We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show.

0:01:570:01:59

That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:590:02:02

He's wearing his baggy trousers for that added ballroom touch.

0:02:020:02:05

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

-Hiya.

0:02:050:02:08

Hey, everybody. Good evening.

0:02:080:02:11

APPLAUSE

0:02:110:02:12

Ah, let's not talk about my American Smooth.

0:02:120:02:16

-Now, I love doing these Strictly shows, don't you?

-Yes.

0:02:160:02:19

They're always fun, always competitive, always lovely to do.

0:02:190:02:21

We've got some of the real heroes,

0:02:210:02:23

some of the real legends of Strictly here.

0:02:230:02:25

We've also got some winners of Strictly here.

0:02:250:02:27

We've also got Anton Du Beke.

0:02:270:02:28

LAUGHTER

0:02:280:02:30

-BRENDAN:

-Harsh but fair, harsh but fair.

-ERIN:

-That's SO harsh.

0:02:300:02:33

-There's always next year.

-Yeah.

-So they keep telling me.

0:02:330:02:38

This should be an absolute cracker. Round One...

0:02:380:02:40

There's loads of good pointless answers

0:02:400:02:42

but it's one of those ones where, you know, we'll see.

0:02:420:02:46

-Some people may struggle.

-Thank you, Richard.

0:02:460:02:49

As usual, all of today's questions have been put to 100 people

0:02:490:02:51

before the show. Our contestants here are on the hunt

0:02:510:02:54

for those all-important pointless answers -

0:02:540:02:56

the answers that none of our 100 people gave.

0:02:560:02:58

Find one of those and we'll add £250 to the jackpot.

0:02:580:03:01

As today's show is a celebrity special,

0:03:010:03:02

each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity,

0:03:020:03:05

we're going to start off with a jackpot of £2,500.

0:03:050:03:08

APPLAUSE

0:03:080:03:11

If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:03:110:03:14

APPLAUSE

0:03:140:03:16

Just remember, it's the pair with the highest score

0:03:190:03:22

at the end of each round that will be eliminated.

0:03:220:03:24

So, whatever you do, make sure your scores are nice and low.

0:03:240:03:27

-Oh, I've got loads of THEM!

-LAUGHTER

0:03:270:03:30

Also, no conferring, remember - ha, ha, ha -

0:03:300:03:33

till we get to the head-to-head round.

0:03:330:03:35

Good luck with that. Our first category this evening is...

0:03:350:03:38

-I've got words, lots of words.

-It's a Words round.

0:03:400:03:43

Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second.

0:03:430:03:46

Shall you or I go first?

0:03:460:03:47

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

0:03:470:03:49

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

0:03:530:03:55

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...

0:03:550:03:58

..as many words ending in "IRE"

0:03:590:04:02

as they could. Words ending in "IRE", Richard.

0:04:020:04:06

That little move where people step up to the podium

0:04:060:04:08

is always done so beautifully on our Strictly specials.

0:04:080:04:11

Beautiful to watch.

0:04:110:04:12

-I glided. I barely touched the surface.

-I didn't even see you move.

0:04:120:04:16

I thought you were on ice. It was amazing.

0:04:160:04:18

That's another show that's been cancelled. I won't discuss that.

0:04:180:04:21

We're looking for any word which has its own entry

0:04:210:04:24

in the British and World English section of oxforddictionaries.com,

0:04:240:04:27

please, that ends "IRE".

0:04:270:04:29

As always, no proper nouns, no hyphenated words.

0:04:290:04:32

Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now then, Chris.

0:04:320:04:35

-Oh, Chris. He's thinking.

-Yeah.

-He's at thought.

0:04:350:04:39

Just while you're thinking,

0:04:390:04:41

just tell me a little bit about winning Strictly.

0:04:410:04:45

-It was a while ago.

-It's a long, long time ago. I had one chin.

0:04:450:04:50

-I've now developed two.

-You haven't! That's a lie.

0:04:500:04:53

-LAUGHTER

-Enough of that!

0:04:530:04:56

It was fantastic experience. I didn't dance with Russell.

0:04:560:05:00

I danced with Ola Jordan, who was a brilliant instructor,

0:05:000:05:03

great mate of mine, and we had a ball.

0:05:030:05:06

But I always say it was a weak year.

0:05:060:05:08

It must have been for me to win it

0:05:080:05:09

and if I'd been with the likes of Jay,

0:05:090:05:11

I'd have gone out first round.

0:05:110:05:12

-And you did the tour as well.

-Did the tour.

0:05:120:05:14

-Now, that is really hard work.

-Really?

-Yeah.

0:05:140:05:18

You showbiz luvvies, you love the matinee in the evening.

0:05:180:05:21

You weren't doing two shows a day, were you?

0:05:210:05:23

Yeah, I was doing Breakfast in the morning.

0:05:230:05:26

We all do that. That's normal.

0:05:260:05:28

Not EAT breakfast, but the Breakfast programme.

0:05:280:05:30

And then drive up the motorway to Nottingham,

0:05:300:05:33

do the afternoon show and then do the evening show

0:05:330:05:35

and then drive back overnight to go and do Breakfast again.

0:05:350:05:38

There we are. Now then, Chris, it's words ending "IRE".

0:05:380:05:41

-I've got one, I think.

-Mmm-hmm.

0:05:410:05:44

Just tell me when you want me to give it to you.

0:05:450:05:48

Listen, any time you like, Chris, it's fine.

0:05:480:05:50

You're a trooper. You can do it.

0:05:500:05:52

Come on, I've got breakfast in the morning.

0:05:520:05:54

-OK, I'm going to say "Esquire".

-"Esquire", says Chris.

0:05:540:05:59

Let's see how many of our 100 people went for "Esquire".

0:05:590:06:03

It's right.

0:06:060:06:08

Look at that! Very well done indeed.

0:06:120:06:15

APPLAUSE Chris, 4.

0:06:150:06:17

That's a great start to the round and a great start to the show.

0:06:170:06:20

Nice start, Chris. Very well played.

0:06:200:06:21

There's loads of good answers, loads of low answers as well.

0:06:210:06:24

You put "Esquire" at the end of a man's name

0:06:240:06:26

when you don't use any other title.

0:06:260:06:28

-We don't use it so much any more.

-We don't tend to, no. On letters I do.

0:06:290:06:33

-Do you?

-Yeah, if I'm addressing a letter, I'll put "Esquire".

0:06:330:06:36

-You will not! Would you really?

-Yeah, I do.

0:06:360:06:39

To who? Who are you writing to?

0:06:390:06:41

If I were writing to you, I would write to Richard Osman, Esquire.

0:06:410:06:44

-No, you would not!

-I promise I would.

0:06:440:06:46

-I always put "Esq" at the end.

-No, you don't!

-I do!

0:06:460:06:48

-Does anyone else do that?

-AUDIENCE:

-No.

0:06:480:06:51

-Do you really?

-Always.

-That's so classy of you.

0:06:510:06:54

Invite me to something, I'll write you a thank you letter.

0:06:540:06:57

Right, phew, I'm going to get you something.

0:06:570:06:59

-I'll either buy you something or upset you in some way.

-OK.

0:06:590:07:02

-And force you to write me a letter.

-OK.

0:07:020:07:04

Jay, Esquire, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.

0:07:040:07:08

So, the Glitterball, is it the same Glitterball which has your name on

0:07:080:07:12

and then you have to give it back or do you get to keep it?

0:07:120:07:14

-You give it back and you get a slightly dodgier replica.

-OK.

0:07:140:07:17

It's a bit rickety but from far away, it looks really good.

0:07:170:07:19

That's good. Where do you keep your Glitterball?

0:07:190:07:23

Mine actually is in my brother's house

0:07:230:07:25

and he has it in his downstairs bathroom. And that's not a lie.

0:07:250:07:28

-That's classy.

-It is.

0:07:280:07:30

People often say, "I just keep it in the downstairs loo."

0:07:300:07:33

-You keep it in the downstairs loo of your brother's house.

-Yeah.

0:07:330:07:37

-Too many awards, so little space.

-Absolutely.

0:07:370:07:40

-ERIN:

-Ah...

0:07:400:07:41

Now, I have too much space and not enough awards, isn't that funny?

0:07:410:07:45

Jay, Jay, Jay. Now, what you would like to go for? Words ending "IRE".

0:07:450:07:51

-I'm going to go for "Underwire".

-"Underwire". Oh, this is very good.

0:07:510:07:57

-This is like proper Pointless, isn't it?

-Yeah, that's very nice.

0:07:570:08:01

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

0:08:010:08:05

Oh, it's good.

0:08:060:08:08

Come on, come on.

0:08:100:08:11

Ooh, look, down to 1!

0:08:130:08:15

APPLAUSE Down to 1, Jay.

0:08:150:08:18

Very well done indeed.

0:08:180:08:21

That's great work, Jay. Very well played. "Underwire".

0:08:210:08:24

It's what Geordies wear under their clothes.

0:08:240:08:27

LAUGHTER Thank you very much indeed.

0:08:270:08:30

Erin, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here. Here's the thing.

0:08:300:08:35

If somebody wins Strictly, are they, therefore, good enough

0:08:350:08:40

to hack it as proper professional dancers?

0:08:400:08:42

-ANTON SPLUTTERS

-Oh...

0:08:420:08:45

Um, not as a professional dancer, no.

0:08:450:08:48

-The professional dancers, they train for years.

-Yeah.

0:08:480:08:52

And the professional dancers on Strictly, they are phenomenal.

0:08:520:08:56

-Phenomenal.

-Phenomenal.

-Phenomenal.

-Yeah.

0:08:560:09:00

I mean, they could go out and they could do

0:09:000:09:02

a pre-champ competition and, no offence or anything...

0:09:020:09:05

No offence taken, I couldn't do it.

0:09:050:09:06

But when it gets down to it, I don't think they could.

0:09:060:09:09

But also, you have to remember

0:09:090:09:11

-that they only really know that routine that they're taught.

-I see.

0:09:110:09:14

So if you ask them now to go and do a waltz, just make one up,

0:09:140:09:18

fit it into this space, I doubt they could do that.

0:09:180:09:20

You've answered the question brilliantly.

0:09:200:09:22

-But what they achieve on the programme is great.

-Is remarkable.

0:09:220:09:26

-Yes, it is.

-But you can tell by the deportment.

0:09:260:09:28

Just look at the pair of you, for heaven's sake.

0:09:280:09:30

-Just the beauty, even standing still.

-I like that - "the beauty".

0:09:300:09:33

-There's such beauty and grace there.

-Beauty and grace.

0:09:330:09:35

Now, Erin, how are you feeling about our words ending in "IRE"?

0:09:350:09:41

Um, OK. Yes, I think so.

0:09:410:09:45

-OK.

-"Empire".

0:09:450:09:48

-"Empire".

-Yes.

0:09:480:09:50

OK, "Empire". Let us see how many of our 100 people said "Empire".

0:09:500:09:55

-Oh!

-Oh...

-It's a start.

0:09:590:10:01

-It's a start.

-Oh... Keep going, keep going.

0:10:010:10:04

It's a start.

0:10:040:10:05

-Look at that! 4. Very well done indeed.

-That's good!

0:10:050:10:08

APPLAUSE

0:10:080:10:11

-Very well done. 4 for "Empire."

-That's good.

-Well played, Erin.

0:10:110:10:14

So far, Esquire is a magazine, Empire is a magazine.

0:10:140:10:17

I bet if you looked hard enough,

0:10:170:10:19

there'd be a magazine called Underwire. I bet.

0:10:190:10:23

-Thank you very much indeed. Now, Sophie.

-Hello.

0:10:230:10:26

Sophie, talk us through the Strictly calendar.

0:10:260:10:29

When you decide to do it, you sign up,

0:10:290:10:31

what sort of time of year is that?

0:10:310:10:33

-I presume you have to keep it a secret.

-You're supposed to, yes.

0:10:330:10:37

But I can't make big decisions without involving a few people,

0:10:370:10:40

so... I think it was summertime when I was asked to do it.

0:10:400:10:44

And when does the regime start?

0:10:440:10:47

Er, I think it was late August, if I remember rightly.

0:10:470:10:50

-Does that sound about right? September kind of time.

-Yeah.

0:10:500:10:52

And then, because we were lucky enough to get to the final,

0:10:520:10:55

you do it for three or four months.

0:10:550:10:58

My mum says it's the closest I've come

0:10:580:11:00

-to having a steady job since I left school.

-Yeah.

-It's actually true.

0:11:000:11:03

But you must have done lots of dancing though.

0:11:030:11:05

As a singer, you do quite a lot of dancing, don't you?

0:11:050:11:08

If you look closely,

0:11:080:11:09

I've done videos where people are dancing around me

0:11:090:11:12

but not really participating that much in it myself.

0:11:120:11:15

I love watching people dance

0:11:150:11:16

but I'd never had any dance lessons before I did the show.

0:11:160:11:20

Have you upped your dance quotient in your act since doing Strictly?

0:11:200:11:24

I think it helps you lose your inhibitions.

0:11:240:11:26

It gave me a bit more confidence but I don't even know where I'd go

0:11:260:11:30

to locally ballroom dance,

0:11:300:11:31

-so I haven't been able to do any of that stuff.

-Me neither.

0:11:310:11:34

Sophie, what would you like to go for?

0:11:340:11:37

-We've had some very impressive scores.

-Some really good ones.

0:11:370:11:40

I think, due to the sort of nature of the tension in the room,

0:11:400:11:46

-I'll go for "Perspire".

-"Perspire". Oh, that is good.

0:11:460:11:50

Let's see how many of our 100 people went for "Perspire".

0:11:500:11:53

Go on, Sophie! Go on, Sophie!

0:11:590:12:02

13 for "Perspire".

0:12:020:12:04

APPLAUSE 13.

0:12:040:12:06

I'm hoping there's not a magazine called Perspire.

0:12:090:12:12

-I don't think I'd like to read that.

-No.

0:12:120:12:15

-Maybe laminated.

-Mmm.

0:12:150:12:17

An absorbing read. GROANS AND LAUGHTER

0:12:170:12:21

Thank you very much indeed. We're halfway through the round.

0:12:210:12:24

Let's take a look at those scores.

0:12:240:12:25

1, Jay and Aliona. Looking very strong at this point.

0:12:250:12:28

Then we travel up to 4,

0:12:280:12:29

where we find Erin, Anton, Chris and Russell, alike as they lie.

0:12:290:12:33

And then up to 13,

0:12:330:12:34

where we find Sophie and Brendan.

0:12:340:12:37

So, Brendan, you are just out in front there,

0:12:370:12:40

so we need a nice low score from you to even things up.

0:12:400:12:42

Thank you for the pressure!

0:12:420:12:44

Good luck with that.

0:12:440:12:46

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:12:460:12:48

-OK, Brendan, remember we're looking for words ending in "IRE".

-Yes.

0:12:510:12:56

Brendan, if you go to a wedding -

0:12:560:12:57

let's say it's the wedding of a nephew or a niece -

0:12:570:13:00

and you dance,

0:13:000:13:01

do you find you have to sort of tone down your dancing a bit?

0:13:010:13:04

It's a really weird thing

0:13:040:13:06

because you do feel a sense of pressure,

0:13:060:13:08

even if you're just standing there bopping on your own.

0:13:080:13:12

And my wife won't dance with me any more

0:13:120:13:14

-because heads just sort of start to judge.

-Yeah.

0:13:140:13:17

Um, Brendan, you're behind at the moment, we need a nice low score.

0:13:170:13:21

-Right.

-"IRE".

0:13:210:13:23

-"Conspire".

-Ah, very nice!

-Oh...

0:13:230:13:27

That's a magazine for spies, I suppose.

0:13:270:13:29

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

0:13:290:13:32

There's no red line for you, as you're the high-scorers.

0:13:320:13:35

-It is right.

-Phew.

0:13:360:13:38

Go on, Sophie. Go on, Sophie. Go on, Sophie. Go on, Sophie.

0:13:400:13:43

-Look at that! 5.

-Well done.

0:13:430:13:46

-APPLAUSE

-I like it.

-18 is your total.

0:13:460:13:49

Might have done enough.

0:13:490:13:51

To join together to be fraudulent in some way - to conspire.

0:13:510:13:55

Thank you very much indeed. Now then, Anton.

0:13:550:13:59

Come on!

0:13:590:14:01

-So, Anton, 13 series.

-Yes.

-No Glitterball for you,

0:14:010:14:05

-no trophy.

-Not yet.

-What's it going to take for you to win?

0:14:050:14:09

-A miracle!

-LAUGHTER

0:14:090:14:12

What is it? I mean, you've come close. You had Kate.

0:14:120:14:15

It's not ME! I'm really, really good!

0:14:150:14:19

LAUGHTER Which was the closest you came?

0:14:190:14:21

Who was your partner who came closest? Probably Katie?

0:14:210:14:24

I tell you who was tremendous - Ann Widdecombe.

0:14:240:14:26

We finished fifth, dancing together.

0:14:260:14:28

We were that close to the final. The week we got voted off,

0:14:280:14:31

-Gavin Henson took his shirt off.

-Ah!

0:14:310:14:34

Yeah, that was why. That was the only reason why.

0:14:340:14:36

-That was the only reason.

-LAUGHTER

0:14:360:14:39

-Now, Anton.

-Yes.

-You're on 4.

0:14:390:14:40

-If you can score 13 or less, Round Two awaits.

-Oh, no pressure(!)

0:14:400:14:46

-How about "Dire"?

-What about that? What about that?

0:14:470:14:51

Here is your red line.

0:14:510:14:52

If you can get below this red line with "Dire",

0:14:520:14:55

you're through to Round Two. How many people said it?

0:14:550:14:58

Oh...

0:15:010:15:04

-Oh!

-Ah...

0:15:040:15:07

-Appropriately...

-It WAS dire!

-LAUGHTER

0:15:070:15:10

That is the highest score so far.

0:15:100:15:13

-62, taking your total up to 66, Anton.

-Mmm.

0:15:130:15:16

Anton just taking the opportunity to get a big score for once.

0:15:160:15:19

-I think that's the thing, isn't it?

-That's all it was.

0:15:190:15:21

I reckon that would have been a total

0:15:210:15:23

of three months worth of dances, to have got that.

0:15:230:15:28

Thanks very much indeed.

0:15:280:15:29

-Aliona, welcome to Pointless.

-Thank you very much.

0:15:290:15:31

Now you've done Dancing With The Stars over in America as well.

0:15:310:15:35

-A little bit, yes.

-How seriously do they take it over there?

0:15:350:15:38

It's almost like a different show.

0:15:380:15:40

It's very different style there

0:15:400:15:43

and they do different styles to Strictly.

0:15:430:15:46

-You can't really compare.

-Really?

0:15:460:15:48

-Cos things just stop for Strictly here.

-Yes.

0:15:480:15:50

It does seize the whole...

0:15:500:15:52

There are very few programmes, apart from Pointless, that do that,

0:15:520:15:55

that just seize public imagination like that.

0:15:550:15:58

Um, Strictly is the number one show in the UK.

0:15:580:16:01

-Dancing With The Stars, not so much.

-When they say "Stars",

0:16:010:16:04

what kind of stars are they? Who are the people on that?

0:16:040:16:07

Pamela Anderson did it, the Backstreet Boys...

0:16:070:16:11

OK, very good indeed. Aliona, listen, you are on 1.

0:16:110:16:14

This is perfect. Jay has set you up beautifully here.

0:16:140:16:17

-66 is the high score. If you can score 64 or less...

-Yes.

0:16:170:16:21

I think people are going to find out

0:16:210:16:23

that HE is the better half of that Glitterball now.

0:16:230:16:25

Um...

0:16:250:16:27

I'll go for the obvious, "Hire".

0:16:280:16:31

-"Hire".

-"Hire".

0:16:310:16:32

OK, will it be "hire" than "dire", I wonder. "Hire".

0:16:320:16:35

There is your red line. You want to be lower with "Hire".

0:16:350:16:39

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

0:16:390:16:43

It's right.

0:16:460:16:48

-Yes!

-You've done it! Look at that! 60.

0:16:480:16:51

APPLAUSE Look at that!

0:16:510:16:53

-By this much!

-61 is your total.

0:16:530:16:56

Very well done indeed on podium two. Look at that.

0:16:560:16:58

That was some drama right there.

0:16:580:17:00

"Hire" - it's what I say at the start of every show.

0:17:000:17:03

Thank you very much indeed. Russell, now then, Russell.

0:17:030:17:08

-Welcome back to Pointless.

-Third time.

-Third time.

-Yeah.

0:17:080:17:13

-What's your record on Pointless?

-Always go out in Round Two.

-OK.

0:17:130:17:17

-I did better in Strictly.

-Let's see what happens this time.

0:17:170:17:20

Russell, did you find after you'd done Strictly,

0:17:200:17:23

did your dance change, your approach to the floor?

0:17:230:17:26

-You made it through to the eighth week.

-I know!

0:17:260:17:28

Well, it's down to Flavia, really.

0:17:280:17:30

I just sort of hung around and wait for her to come up with great ideas,

0:17:300:17:34

which she did every week.

0:17:340:17:35

It changed in the fact that I trained as an actor

0:17:350:17:39

and the first thing I did straight after Strictly was

0:17:390:17:42

I took over from Michael Crawford in The Wizard Of Oz

0:17:420:17:45

-at the London Palladium and saw my name on buses.

-Wow!

0:17:450:17:49

-Do you get to keep your costumes from Strictly?

-I bought most of them

0:17:490:17:52

but they're all hanging up in my mother's wardrobe!

0:17:520:17:55

LAUGHTER

0:17:550:17:57

Now, Russell, there you are on 4.

0:17:570:17:59

Our high-scorers are still Anton and Erin on 66.

0:17:590:18:03

61 is what you require.

0:18:030:18:06

When you go a restaurant, you get some nasty green stuff on there,

0:18:060:18:09

which I think is called "Samphire".

0:18:090:18:11

Oh, that's good! You got a hum.

0:18:110:18:14

That was the first hum we've had of the evening, I think,

0:18:140:18:16

from our assembled audience here. There is your red line.

0:18:160:18:19

"Samphire". Is it going to get you below that red line?

0:18:190:18:23

It's perfectly good. Look at that!

0:18:290:18:32

It's a pointless answer, Russell.

0:18:340:18:36

That is fantastic!

0:18:360:18:38

A pointless answer adds £250 to today's jackpot.

0:18:380:18:40

Takes the total up to £2,750. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:18:400:18:44

It scores you nothing. It leaves your total at 4.

0:18:440:18:47

I love it. I want a plateful.

0:18:470:18:50

-Yeah, delicious. Mmm, oh! Very well done indeed, Russell.

-Thank you.

0:18:500:18:53

Samphire for us all.

0:18:530:18:55

It's a member of the parsley family, samphire. Terrific answer.

0:18:550:18:58

Loads of good pointless answers out here.

0:18:580:19:00

Terrific that we got one during the round. Have you got an answer?

0:19:000:19:03

Um, I'll go for..."Crossfire".

0:19:030:19:06

-"Crossfire"?

-Mmm.

0:19:060:19:08

-Is a pointless answer.

-Ah!

-Very well done.

-Great!

-Very well done.

0:19:080:19:12

There's loads of good ones.

0:19:120:19:14

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

0:19:140:19:17

All of these would have added money to the jackpot.

0:19:170:19:19

As well as "Millionaire", you could have had "Billionaire".

0:19:250:19:28

You also, genuinely, could have had "Squillionaire".

0:19:280:19:31

You could have "Bazillionaire" or "Gazillionaire".

0:19:310:19:34

All of those are pointless answers. They're all in the dictionary.

0:19:340:19:37

All those ones ending "AIRE" seemed to flummox our 100.

0:19:390:19:42

You also could have had "Commissionaire", "Extraordinaire",

0:19:470:19:50

"Reacquire", "Tripwire", "Wildfire". Let's take a look

0:19:500:19:54

at the top three answers. A couple of these may be familiar.

0:19:540:19:58

These are the ones that most of our 100 people said.

0:19:580:20:01

It could have been worse - you could have said "Fire",

0:20:050:20:08

-which would have got you 77.

-Thank you very much, Richard.

0:20:080:20:11

So, at the end of our first round, the pair we are sending home,

0:20:110:20:14

I'm so sorry, Anton and Erin. Far too soon.

0:20:140:20:18

Sorry to see you go. Just go over there.

0:20:180:20:21

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:20:210:20:23

-Thank you so much, Anton and Erin.

-Thank you.

0:20:230:20:27

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

0:20:270:20:30

APPLAUSE

0:20:300:20:33

Look at that. Suddenly, we're down to three pairs.

0:20:330:20:36

It's getting very exciting now, isn't it?

0:20:360:20:38

Best of luck to all three pairs.

0:20:380:20:39

Our category for Round Two this evening is...People.

0:20:390:20:42

Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?

0:20:420:20:46

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

0:20:470:20:50

OK, the question concerns...

0:20:520:20:55

Famous high school drop-outs. Look at the moves on that first podium.

0:20:580:21:02

-It's just beautiful, isn't it?

-You can tell we're amateurs.

0:21:020:21:05

-Famous high school drop-outs, Richard.

-On each board,

0:21:050:21:07

we're going to show you six clues to people who left school early.

0:21:070:21:10

You just have to tell us who they are, please.

0:21:100:21:12

There will be six on the first board, six on the second,

0:21:120:21:15

12 to have a go at home. Best of luck.

0:21:150:21:17

Thank you very much indeed. Let's reveal our first board of clues.

0:21:170:21:21

I'll read those one last time.

0:21:530:21:55

-Chris. Mmm-hmm.

-Yeah. This is where I went out last time.

0:22:190:22:24

I can't think of the Brazilian supermodel's second name,

0:22:240:22:28

so I'm going to try and bank one,

0:22:280:22:31

so I'm going to go for the bottom one and his name is George Foreman.

0:22:310:22:35

George Foreman, says Chris. Let's see if that's right

0:22:350:22:38

and how many of our 100 people agree with Mr Hollins.

0:22:380:22:41

It is right. George Foreman - good answer.

0:22:430:22:45

-47, not bad.

-Sorry.

-APPLAUSE

0:22:470:22:49

I don't know any of the others.

0:22:490:22:51

Not bad.

0:22:510:22:53

Yeah, famously has five sons all called George.

0:22:530:22:55

He said, "If you'd been punched as many times

0:22:550:22:57

"as I have by Muhammad Ali, you wouldn't remember names either."

0:22:570:23:00

LAUGHTER

0:23:000:23:01

Jay. Jay, which of our drop-outs is appealing to you?

0:23:010:23:06

I'm going to go with the American

0:23:060:23:08

who first produced the commercial phonograph.

0:23:080:23:11

-Thomas Edison.

-Thomas Edison, says Jay. Let's see if that's right

0:23:110:23:15

and how many of our 100 people said Thomas Edison.

0:23:150:23:17

It's right.

0:23:200:23:22

44, well done. APPLAUSE

0:23:240:23:26

-I'm happy with that.

-44 for Thomas Edison.

0:23:260:23:28

Well played, Jay.

0:23:280:23:30

-His mum was a teacher, so she taught him at home.

-I see.

0:23:300:23:35

Now then, Sophie, this board is all yours.

0:23:350:23:37

If you want to, you could fill in all our blanks for us.

0:23:370:23:40

Um, Simon Cowell, Gisele Bundchen, Katy Perry and Walt Disney.

0:23:400:23:44

-But I was going to go for Gisele Bundchen.

-Gisele Bundchen.

0:23:440:23:48

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

0:23:480:23:51

It is right.

0:23:530:23:54

And look at that. That's our lowest score by a margin.

0:23:570:23:59

Look at that. 17. Very well done indeed, Sophie.

0:23:590:24:01

APPLAUSE Good scoring there.

0:24:010:24:04

Can the noise where they go, "Ooh",

0:24:040:24:06

be the noise when I get a text message?

0:24:060:24:09

-I love it!

-That's such a good idea.

-Oh...

0:24:090:24:13

Ding. Very well played, Sophie. That's the best answer on the board.

0:24:130:24:18

She left school at 14. Simon Cowell would have scored you 84 points.

0:24:180:24:24

Katy Perry would have scored you 53.

0:24:240:24:28

What do you think Walt Disney would have scored?

0:24:280:24:30

I think maybe up in the 90s, maybe 97.

0:24:300:24:33

-94 points for Walt Disney.

-Very good. Thank you very much.

0:24:330:24:37

We're halfway through the round, so let's look at the scores.

0:24:370:24:40

17, well done, Sophie. The best score of that pass by a margin.

0:24:400:24:43

Then up to 44, where we find Jay and Aliona, and then up to 47,

0:24:430:24:46

Chris and Russell. So, Russell,

0:24:460:24:48

you're slightly ahead there.

0:24:480:24:50

Let's hope there's a nice answer on that board

0:24:500:24:52

that would be low-scoring that you know.

0:24:520:24:54

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:24:540:24:57

OK, let's put six more clues up on the board to high school drop-outs.

0:24:590:25:04

I'll read those all again.

0:25:290:25:30

-Brendan.

-Hello.

0:25:500:25:52

Brilliant scoring from Sophie in the first pass

0:25:520:25:55

means that 29 or less, even at this stage, keeps you in the game.

0:25:550:25:59

Um, well, I think I'd like to go for the most obscure one, maybe,

0:25:590:26:03

in this group.

0:26:030:26:04

Actor who voices Marty the zebra

0:26:040:26:06

and that is Chris Rock.

0:26:060:26:08

Chris Rock, says Brendan. Here's your red line.

0:26:080:26:10

Get below that and you are into the head-to-head for sure.

0:26:100:26:14

Let's see how many people said Chris Rock.

0:26:140:26:16

It's right.

0:26:200:26:22

Look at that, Brendan, very well done indeed.

0:26:240:26:27

17, equalling Sophie's lovely low score in the first pass,

0:26:270:26:30

taking your total up to 34. APPLAUSE

0:26:300:26:32

Left school before graduating, Chris Rock.

0:26:320:26:34

Probably one of the greatest stand-up comedians of all time.

0:26:340:26:36

Yeah, definitely that.

0:26:360:26:38

Aliona, now then, you're on 44.

0:26:380:26:41

If you can score two or less, you're definitely in.

0:26:410:26:43

See how far down the column you can get. What will you go for?

0:26:430:26:46

-Um... Chris Rock. No, I'm kidding!

-LAUGHTER

0:26:460:26:49

Um, the actress whose first film role was in The Mask.

0:26:490:26:54

-Cameron Diaz.

-Cameron Diaz,

0:26:540:26:56

says Aliona. Here is your red line.

0:26:560:26:59

That's quite low. Let's see where you get with Cameron Diaz.

0:26:590:27:04

It's right.

0:27:070:27:08

That's a good score, Aliona. Look at that.

0:27:100:27:12

-27.

-That's good!

-Thank you.

0:27:120:27:14

APPLAUSE Second lowest score of the round.

0:27:140:27:17

71 is your total.

0:27:170:27:19

-You've given Russell quite a hill to climb there.

-Great work, Aliona.

0:27:190:27:22

-Left school at 16, Cameron Diaz, to become a model.

-There we are.

-Yeah.

0:27:220:27:27

Now, Russell, you're on 47.

0:27:270:27:30

That means if you can score 23 or less, you stay with us.

0:27:300:27:33

Do you want to talk through the board?

0:27:330:27:36

The first one is Quentin Tarantino.

0:27:360:27:38

The actress who played I Love Lucy is Lucille Ball.

0:27:380:27:43

Charles Dickens wrote David Copperfield.

0:27:430:27:45

And Johnny Depp played Edward Scissorhands.

0:27:450:27:48

Lucille Ball or Johnny Depp?

0:27:480:27:51

-I'll go for Lucille Ball.

-Lucille Ball.

0:27:510:27:55

Oh, I know you're right!

0:27:550:27:56

-LAUGHTER

-I back you all the way!

0:27:560:27:59

Lucille Ball.

0:27:590:28:01

-Here is your red line.

-We're going. We're ready to go.

0:28:010:28:04

If you can get below that red line with Lucille Ball,

0:28:040:28:07

you are through to the head-to-head. Let's see what happens.

0:28:070:28:10

Lucille Ball. How many people said it?

0:28:100:28:12

It's right.

0:28:150:28:17

-No!

-Oh, no! 71 for Lucille Ball, Russell.

0:28:170:28:21

I'm afraid that takes your total up to 118.

0:28:210:28:23

APPLAUSE

0:28:230:28:25

Well, too many old people watch this show, that's the trouble.

0:28:250:28:31

-They all know Lucille Ball.

-I know. Do you know what,

0:28:310:28:34

it's actually the best one of the ones you could have got.

0:28:340:28:36

Quentin Tarantino was a big scorer. Would have scored you 81.

0:28:360:28:39

The English novelist is Charles Dickens. He would have scored 89.

0:28:390:28:43

And Johnny Depp would have scored 76.

0:28:430:28:46

So I got the best out of the four. All right, there we go!

0:28:460:28:50

LAUGHTER Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:28:500:28:53

So, at the end of our second round...

0:28:530:28:55

It's always sad at the end of these rounds.

0:28:550:28:57

We have to say goodbye to a pair and the pair we have to say goodbye to,

0:28:570:29:00

I'm so sorry, Russell. Your judgment was absolutely spot-on.

0:29:000:29:03

As Richard says, you got the lowest score.

0:29:030:29:05

It's been such a pleasure having you both on. Come back and play again.

0:29:050:29:08

-Well, it IS Round Two.

-Oh, it's always Round Two.

0:29:080:29:11

There are only two rounds in this programme, right?

0:29:110:29:14

Yes, that's right. Russell and Chris.

0:29:140:29:16

-Thank you.

-Thank you so much.

-APPLAUSE

0:29:160:29:19

But for Sophie and Brendan, Jay and Aliona,

0:29:190:29:21

it's now time for our head-to-head.

0:29:210:29:23

APPLAUSE

0:29:230:29:25

Congratulations, Sophie, Brendan, Jay and Aliona.

0:29:270:29:29

You're now one step closer to the final

0:29:290:29:31

and a chance to play for our jackpot,

0:29:310:29:33

which currently stands at...

0:29:330:29:35

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:29:370:29:39

This is the point where we decide who goes through to the final

0:29:390:29:42

to play for that jackpot and we do it by making you go head-to-head.

0:29:420:29:45

The big difference is you can now start playing as teams.

0:29:450:29:48

-You can confer before you give your answers, which is nice.

-Finally!

0:29:480:29:52

Finally. The first player to win two questions

0:29:520:29:55

will be playing for that jackpot.

0:29:550:29:56

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

0:29:560:29:59

APPLAUSE

0:29:590:30:01

OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...

0:30:040:30:07

-Yes!

-"Yes," says Brendan, "I revised this one!" Richard.

0:30:090:30:15

We're going to play you five clips from songs now, sung by redheads.

0:30:150:30:18

We need you to tell us the name of the artist you are listening to.

0:30:180:30:22

OK, this is exciting. Let's have a listen to these five clips

0:30:220:30:25

and here they come. We have got...

0:30:250:30:27

# I'm out of touch, I'm out of love

0:30:290:30:33

# I'll pick you up when you're getting down

0:30:330:30:36

# And out of all these things I've done

0:30:360:30:39

# I think I love you better now

0:30:390:30:42

# I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind

0:30:420:30:45

# I'll do it all for you in time... #

0:30:450:30:48

Here's B.

0:30:480:30:50

# Holding on to one another's hand

0:30:500:30:53

# Trying to get away into the night

0:30:540:30:57

# And then you put your arms around me

0:30:570:30:59

# And we tumble to the ground and then you say

0:30:590:31:03

# I think we're alone now

0:31:030:31:05

# There doesn't seem to be anyone around... #

0:31:050:31:09

Here is C.

0:31:090:31:12

# L-O-V-E

0:31:120:31:15

# Dance to the beat of my drum Dance to the beat of my drum

0:31:150:31:19

# L-O-V-E

0:31:190:31:23

# Dance to the beat of my drum Dance to the beat of my drum... #

0:31:230:31:28

Here's D.

0:31:280:31:30

# Look at me

0:31:300:31:32

# You can take it all because this face is free

0:31:330:31:39

# Maybe next time use your eyes and look at me... #

0:31:400:31:45

And here is E.

0:31:460:31:48

# ..You gonna live your life right

0:31:480:31:51

# Oh, mamma, dear We're not the fortunate ones

0:31:510:31:54

# And girls, they want to have fun

0:31:540:31:58

# Oh, girls just want to have fun... #

0:31:580:32:03

Our five songs by redheaded musicians.

0:32:090:32:13

Now, Sophie and Brendan, you've been our low-scorers,

0:32:130:32:15

so you get to go first.

0:32:150:32:17

I'm going to go for the one it took me the longest to remember

0:32:170:32:21

which was Nicola Roberts from Girls Aloud, the song L.O.V.E.

0:32:210:32:24

-I can't remember which order... I think it was three.

-C.

-C.

0:32:240:32:27

C, Nicola Roberts, say Sophie and Brendan. Nicola Roberts.

0:32:270:32:30

Now then, Jay and Aliona, do you want to talk through the rest?

0:32:300:32:35

Yeah, so B took me a while to get and then D was, I think, easy.

0:32:350:32:42

-I mean, what do you think?

-Go for B.

0:32:420:32:46

OK, I'm going to go with B and this might be our swansong,

0:32:460:32:50

but I think B is by Tiffany.

0:32:500:32:52

-B, Tiffany.

-Yes.

0:32:520:32:54

So, Sophie and Brendan have gone for C, Nicola Roberts,

0:32:540:32:58

and Jay and Aliona have said that B was Tiffany. Let's find out.

0:32:580:33:02

Sophie and Brendan, Nicola Roberts for C.

0:33:020:33:05

Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.

0:33:050:33:08

It's right.

0:33:100:33:12

-That's a good answer. Look at it. Down it goes...

-Sophie, great stuff!

0:33:140:33:18

Look at that! 2. APPLAUSE

0:33:180:33:22

Good knowledge, Sophie. Very well done indeed.

0:33:220:33:24

There's your reward for that.

0:33:240:33:26

Now, Jay and Aliona have gone for Tiffany for B.

0:33:260:33:28

Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said Tiffany.

0:33:280:33:32

-It IS Tiffany.

-Yes!

0:33:340:33:36

Down it goes as well. That's a great answer.

0:33:390:33:42

13 for Tiffany.

0:33:420:33:43

APPLAUSE

0:33:430:33:46

But the best answer was yours, Sophie and Brendan.

0:33:460:33:48

-It means, after one question, you're up 1-0.

-You were born for this game!

0:33:480:33:52

Well played, both teams. In the last round, on the way up,

0:33:520:33:55

you got the best two answers on the board.

0:33:550:33:56

On the way down, you got the best two answers on the board.

0:33:560:33:59

And in this first head-to-head question,

0:33:590:34:01

you got the best two answers on the board again. Terrific stuff.

0:34:010:34:03

Well played, both teams. A, let's take a listen.

0:34:030:34:06

# I'm out of touch, I'm out of love... #

0:34:070:34:09

That, of course, is Ed Sheeran.

0:34:090:34:11

D.

0:34:150:34:17

# Look at me... #

0:34:180:34:20

It's Geri Halliwell.

0:34:200:34:22

And E.

0:34:250:34:27

# ..You gonna live your life right... #

0:34:270:34:29

Cyndi Lauper.

0:34:290:34:31

Thank you very much indeed.

0:34:310:34:33

So, here comes your second question. Jay and Aliona,

0:34:330:34:35

you get to answer this one first,

0:34:350:34:37

but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.

0:34:370:34:39

Our second question this evening is all about...

0:34:390:34:42

-Richard.

-We're going to show you five pictures now

0:34:440:34:47

of actors who are disguised by CGI or make-up.

0:34:470:34:49

We need you to tell us the name of the actors, please. Good luck.

0:34:490:34:52

Thank you very much indeed.

0:34:520:34:54

Let's reveal our five actors, and here they come.

0:34:540:34:56

There we are. Five actors in disguise.

0:35:230:35:27

Jay and Aliona, you will go first.

0:35:270:35:29

OK, we're going to go with actually D. One of my favourite films.

0:35:300:35:35

It's Zoe Saldana in Avatar.

0:35:350:35:37

Zoe Saldana, say Jay and Aliona.

0:35:370:35:41

Sophie and Brendan, do you fancy talking us through that board?

0:35:410:35:44

Yeah, it is Jennifer Lawrence.

0:35:440:35:46

A, Robert De Niro, I think, but I could be completely wrong on that.

0:35:460:35:49

C is Jim Carrey. Do you think most people wouldn't recognise

0:35:490:35:52

-that that's Jim Carrey as the Grinch?

-OK.

0:35:520:35:54

-I don't know.

-OK, let's do that.

0:35:540:35:56

-Jim Carrey for...?

-C.

-For C. There we are, OK.

0:35:560:35:59

So, we have Zoe Saldana and we have Jim Carrey.

0:35:590:36:02

Jay and Aliona said Zoe Saldana for D.

0:36:020:36:04

Let's see if that's right and how many people said Zoe Saldana.

0:36:040:36:07

That's a good answer.

0:36:150:36:17

-Look at that. Down to 6.

-Yes!

0:36:170:36:19

Very well done indeed, Jay and Aliona.

0:36:190:36:21

Meanwhile, Sophie and Brendan have gone for Jim Carrey for C.

0:36:210:36:27

Let's see if that's right and how many people said Jim Carrey.

0:36:270:36:30

I don't think they're going to reach the "Ooh" noise.

0:36:300:36:33

-46.

-Was...was De Niro the first one?

-Very well done indeed.

0:36:360:36:42

That means, Jay and Aliona, you're back in the game.

0:36:420:36:44

-After two questions, it's 1-1.

-That's great work there.

0:36:440:36:47

There's one answer up there that would have beaten it and that is A.

0:36:470:36:50

But we'll get onto A.

0:36:500:36:51

-B is Bill Nighy.

-Oh!

0:36:510:36:53

E is Jennifer Lawrence, as I think everyone knew.

0:36:570:37:00

But A would have scored you 4 points.

0:37:020:37:04

It's from The Princess Bride

0:37:040:37:06

and it's Billy Crystal.

0:37:060:37:07

-Not Robert De Niro. Billy Crystal.

-So, I was wrong.

0:37:070:37:12

Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So, here comes the third question.

0:37:120:37:15

Whoever wins this goes through to the final

0:37:150:37:17

and plays for that jackpot, so best of luck to both pairs.

0:37:170:37:20

Our third question concerns...

0:37:200:37:22

-OK.

-Richard.

-We're going to give you the nicknames of five UK cities.

0:37:240:37:28

We'll also give you the first initial of that city.

0:37:280:37:31

But can you name the cities, please?

0:37:310:37:32

Whoever gives us the most obscure answer is going through

0:37:320:37:35

-to play for the jackpot. Very best of luck, both teams.

-# Da, da, da! #

0:37:350:37:38

Thanks very much. OK, let's reveal our five city nicknames

0:37:380:37:41

and here they come. We have got...

0:37:410:37:43

-I'm out!

-LAUGHTER

0:37:540:37:57

-Sophie and Brendan will go first.

-OK.

0:38:050:38:08

Come on, Soph, I'm relying on you here.

0:38:080:38:10

I think I know two, so I might go for a guess on another one,

0:38:100:38:13

just because it might be a bit more obscure.

0:38:130:38:15

I think The Queen Of The Midlands might be Nottingham.

0:38:150:38:19

Nottingham, say Sophie and Brendan for The Queen Of The Midlands.

0:38:190:38:22

Now then, Jay and Aliona, do you want to talk us through that board?

0:38:220:38:25

Well, as someone from Nottingham, that was frustrating!

0:38:250:38:30

LAUGHTER

0:38:300:38:31

Um, I don't know. The beautiful Russian Aliona,

0:38:310:38:34

what do you think of the UK city nicknames, cos I'm struggling?

0:38:340:38:39

I'm going to guess Cottonopolis and just say Manchester. Sorry.

0:38:390:38:44

Cottonopolis, Manchester.

0:38:440:38:46

So, we have Nottingham and we have Manchester.

0:38:460:38:48

Sophie and Brendan have gone for Nottingham

0:38:480:38:50

for The Queen Of The Midlands. Let's see if that's right

0:38:500:38:52

and how many people said Nottingham.

0:38:520:38:54

Is it right?

0:38:540:38:56

-It's right.

-At least it's not wrong.

0:38:570:38:59

There we are. 34 for Nottingham.

0:39:020:39:04

APPLAUSE

0:39:040:39:06

Now then, Jay and Aliona have gone for Manchester for Cottonopolis.

0:39:090:39:12

Let's see if that's right

0:39:120:39:14

and how many of our 100 people said Manchester.

0:39:140:39:17

-It's right.

-Yes!

0:39:190:39:21

Ooh, there we are. There's our result.

0:39:230:39:26

APPLAUSE Very well done, Sophie and Brendan.

0:39:260:39:29

After three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1.

0:39:290:39:33

That was a genuinely terrific head-to-head. Very well played.

0:39:330:39:36

They were the best two answers on the board,

0:39:360:39:38

apart from the really impossible one, which we will get onto.

0:39:380:39:40

-Auld Reekie?

-Edinburgh.

-Edinburgh.

0:39:400:39:43

-And the City Of Dreaming Spires?

-Oxford.

-Oxford.

0:39:450:39:48

Now, The Merrie City is the hardest one.

0:39:490:39:51

You immediately think of Windsor, but it's not a city.

0:39:510:39:54

It was called The Merrie City because it had so many amazing pubs,

0:39:540:39:57

back in medieval times. And very well done if you said Wakefield.

0:39:570:40:01

-Wakefield, the answer there.

-Thank you very much indeed.

0:40:010:40:04

So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,

0:40:040:40:07

it's Jay and Aliona.

0:40:070:40:08

It's been wonderful having you here.

0:40:080:40:10

Such a strong performance right the way through the show.

0:40:100:40:13

Very impressive indeed. Lovely to have you on.

0:40:130:40:15

Please come and play again. Thank you so much, Jay and Aliona.

0:40:150:40:18

-Brilliant.

-Thank you.

-Thanks. Cheers. Well done.

0:40:180:40:21

APPLAUSE

0:40:210:40:22

But for Sophie and Brendan, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:40:220:40:25

APPLAUSE

0:40:250:40:28

Congratulations, Sophie and Brendan,

0:40:280:40:30

you have seen off all the competition

0:40:300:40:33

and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy. That is yours.

0:40:330:40:36

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot

0:40:420:40:45

and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,750.

0:40:450:40:49

APPLAUSE

0:40:490:40:51

Look at that. You have waltzed through to the final.

0:40:530:40:55

Fantastic performance there.

0:40:550:40:57

I'm going to say Sophie's done quite a lot of the heavy lifting.

0:40:570:41:00

-Yes, come on. Yes, she has.

-Nah.

-That's fair to say.

0:41:000:41:02

-It is very fair to say.

-But here we are, in the final.

0:41:020:41:05

Four things go up on the board

0:41:050:41:06

and you can choose one of those categories.

0:41:060:41:08

What would you like to see come up there,

0:41:080:41:10

so you can win that jackpot for your charities?

0:41:100:41:12

-Um, pop music's always quite a good one for me, I think.

-Yeah.

0:41:120:41:15

Kind of already gone through some of that through the show,

0:41:150:41:18

so I don't know if it will come up again.

0:41:180:41:20

You'd probably quite like sport?

0:41:200:41:21

That's probably my strongest subject,

0:41:210:41:23

compared to something that's in a magazine,

0:41:230:41:25

-but who knows? Maybe gardening.

-Who knows? Maybe gardening.

0:41:250:41:28

OK, let's see what's up there today

0:41:280:41:30

and hope there's something you like the look of.

0:41:300:41:32

Today's selection is...

0:41:320:41:33

I was around in 2005, I've eaten chocolate,

0:41:410:41:43

I've watched some of those films and I wear stuff.

0:41:430:41:45

-LAUGHTER What about that?!

-That's very good.

0:41:450:41:50

I kind of feel like it's got to be Dance Films.

0:41:500:41:52

Given the day, it would be silly not to. Why go Chocolate when...?

0:41:520:41:56

Why go Chocolate when you can go Dance Films?

0:41:560:41:58

LAUGHTER Rich.

0:41:580:42:00

Very best of luck. Three classic dance films now.

0:42:000:42:03

We're looking for anyone who received a credit

0:42:030:42:05

for acting in any of the following three films, please.

0:42:050:42:08

We're looking for anyone who appeared in Footloose from 1984,

0:42:080:42:11

anyone who appeared in Dirty Dancing from 1987,

0:42:110:42:14

or anyone who appeared in Flashdance from 1983.

0:42:140:42:17

So, anyone, according to IMDb,

0:42:170:42:19

credited with appearing in any of those three dance films.

0:42:190:42:23

Very, very best of luck.

0:42:230:42:24

As always you have up to one minute to come up with three answers.

0:42:240:42:28

All you need to win that jackpot

0:42:280:42:29

is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:42:290:42:31

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Um...yes.

0:42:310:42:34

OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. Your time starts now.

0:42:340:42:38

-Oh, man!

-Do you know anyone apart from Kevin Bacon in Footloose?

0:42:380:42:41

Do you know anyone apart from Jennifer Grey

0:42:410:42:43

and Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing?

0:42:430:42:45

And Flashdance... What's the name of the girl that played the welder?

0:42:450:42:49

-Uh...

-OK.

0:42:490:42:51

We're going well, Soph.

0:42:510:42:53

I'd like to say that I'm contributing a lot today, but...

0:42:530:42:56

Can you think of anyone else apart from those people?

0:42:560:42:59

Cos I don't think they're going to be the pointless answers.

0:42:590:43:03

-Why didn't I go Fashion?

-SOPHIE LAUGHS

0:43:060:43:09

Um... OK, I'm thinking, I'm thinking.

0:43:090:43:11

Dirty Dancing, Dirty Dancing...

0:43:110:43:14

I can see the cast in my mind.

0:43:160:43:18

I could recite the whole film for you, if you want, but...

0:43:190:43:22

-In 15 seconds?

-Not in 15. Maybe 12.

-SOPHIE LAUGHS

0:43:220:43:27

-Ten seconds left.

-Oh, I'm so sorry!

0:43:270:43:29

-What was the name of the girl in Footloose?

-The girl in Footloose.

0:43:290:43:32

-Yes, I know her very well. She's very attractive.

-What's her name?

0:43:320:43:35

-Don't know!

-Oh.

0:43:350:43:37

-Um... Oh, man!

-Your minute's up, I'm so sorry.

0:43:370:43:40

-That minute just goes by like that.

-We choose Fashion.

-Yeah, it's OK.

0:43:400:43:44

What would you like to go for? What three answers can you give me?

0:43:440:43:47

Well, I'd have to say, for Footloose,

0:43:470:43:49

-I do only know Kevin Bacon.

-Yeah.

-OK, Kevin Bacon.

0:43:490:43:52

-I'm so sorry.

-For Dirty Dancing,

0:43:520:43:54

it's only Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey that I know.

0:43:540:43:57

Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey.

0:43:570:43:59

-Those are my only...

-And those are our three answers.

0:43:590:44:02

Which is your best shot, of those three, at a pointless answer?

0:44:020:44:05

It's not going to be Kevin Bacon or Patrick Swayze,

0:44:050:44:08

-so it's got to be Jennifer.

-Yeah, Jennifer Grey.

0:44:080:44:10

Jennifer Grey goes last. Least likely to be pointless?

0:44:100:44:13

-Yeah, oh, man!

-Um, I'd say Kevin Bacon.

-Kevin Bacon.

-Oh, really?

0:44:130:44:17

-Then Patrick Swayze in the middle.

-Yeah.

0:44:170:44:19

Let's put those answers up on the board in that order,

0:44:190:44:21

and here they are. We have got...

0:44:210:44:23

If one of these were to be pointless - and you never know,

0:44:280:44:31

it just could happen - what are the charities you're playing for?

0:44:310:44:34

-Sophie?

-I'm playing for Tommy's.

0:44:340:44:36

They research into premature babies and all aspects of pregnancy

0:44:360:44:39

-and wellbeing for mum and baby.

-Excellent. Brendan, how about you?

0:44:390:44:42

The PACE Centre. I like to choose obscure charities

0:44:420:44:45

that not many have heard about. It's a local one to my area.

0:44:450:44:48

I'd barely even heard of it

0:44:480:44:49

-but they do great work with disabled children.

-Brilliant.

0:44:490:44:52

APPLAUSE

0:44:520:44:54

Two fantastic charities there.

0:44:540:44:56

Let's hope one of these answers might win that jackpot for them.

0:44:560:45:00

Best of luck. Yes, this is a tough category. Dance Films.

0:45:000:45:03

Kevin Bacon was your first answer.

0:45:030:45:05

In this case, we were looking for cast members from Footloose.

0:45:050:45:08

We've gone for Kevin Bacon. Let's see what happens.

0:45:080:45:11

-If it's pointless, it'll win you £2,750 for your charity.

-I know.

0:45:110:45:14

-Let's see how many of our 100 people said Kevin Bacon.

-100!

0:45:140:45:19

It's right.

0:45:210:45:22

It just has to be pointless now

0:45:220:45:25

and your charities will be £2,750 richer.

0:45:250:45:27

-Kevin Bacon stops at 45.

-Wow.

-Only 45?

0:45:270:45:30

He was the star of the film. That's not bad.

0:45:300:45:32

I thought it would be more than that.

0:45:320:45:34

It's looking good for Jennifer Grey, at this stage,

0:45:340:45:36

I can't help thinking. Sadly not pointless,

0:45:360:45:38

which means we move onto your next answer, which was Patrick Swayze.

0:45:380:45:41

Again, it has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.

0:45:410:45:45

So, for £2,750, let's see how many people remembered Patrick Swayze

0:45:450:45:48

from the cast of Dirty Dancing.

0:45:480:45:50

It's right.

0:45:530:45:55

Kevin Bacon took us down to 45. Patrick Swayze...

0:45:550:45:58

-Only 67.

-Look at that. 67. APPLAUSE

0:45:580:46:02

-Really?

-Really?

-67 for Patrick Swayze. Very memorable.

0:46:020:46:06

Only one more shot at today's jackpot.

0:46:060:46:09

Your last answer is Jennifer Grey. Now, this is good. Jennifer Grey.

0:46:090:46:13

Can people remember her from the cast of Dirty Dancing?

0:46:130:46:16

If no-one remembers her, you will win £2,750 for your charities.

0:46:160:46:20

How many people said Jennifer Grey?

0:46:200:46:22

It's right.

0:46:240:46:26

Your first answer took us down to 45 - Kevin Bacon.

0:46:260:46:28

Your second answer, Patrick Swayze, was 67.

0:46:280:46:31

-Jennifer Grey takes us past.

-Come on!

-Down we go into the teens.

0:46:310:46:35

-17 - not bad.

-Wow! That's much lower than I thought.

0:46:350:46:38

APPLAUSE Yeah, 17.

0:46:380:46:41

Very good score in normal play of Pointless, but we're only interested

0:46:410:46:44

in pointless answers in this round, sadly.

0:46:440:46:46

You didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,

0:46:460:46:49

so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,750.

0:46:490:46:52

However, as it is a celebrity special,

0:46:520:46:54

each of our celebrities are playing for a nominated charity,

0:46:540:46:57

we're going to donate £500 to each pair

0:46:570:46:59

to give to their respective charities, so there you are.

0:46:590:47:01

Very well done. You've played so well and you get a Pointless trophy.

0:47:010:47:04

-APPLAUSE

-Well done, Soph.

-Well done, Brendan.

0:47:040:47:08

These Strictly shows are always fun and it's been an absolute cracker.

0:47:100:47:14

Proper great answers after great answers.

0:47:140:47:16

Let's start with Footloose, shall we?

0:47:160:47:19

See where the pointless answers are.

0:47:190:47:20

Elizabeth Gorcey played Wendy Jo.

0:47:210:47:24

-Sarah Jessica Parker was a pointless answer.

-Wow.

0:47:250:47:28

Everybody in that film was a pointless answer,

0:47:280:47:30

apart from Kevin Bacon, John Lithgow,

0:47:300:47:32

Lori Singer, Chris Penn and Dianne Wiest.

0:47:320:47:35

Dirty Dancing cast now.

0:47:350:47:36

Max Kellerman was played by Jack Weston.

0:47:360:47:39

Jane Brucker played Baby's sister.

0:47:400:47:43

Even fewer scoring answers there.

0:47:440:47:45

Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey,

0:47:450:47:47

Cynthia Rhodes and Jerry Orbach were the only ones

0:47:470:47:49

that scored any points at all.

0:47:490:47:51

And Cynthia Rhodes crops up now in Flashdance as a pointless answer.

0:47:510:47:55

Everyone in that film, apart from Jennifer Beals,

0:47:580:48:01

who was the main actor in it, and Michael Nouri.

0:48:010:48:04

Everyone else was a pointless answer.

0:48:040:48:06

Very well done if you got any of those at home.

0:48:060:48:08

Very well done, Sophie and Brendan. We've loved having you.

0:48:080:48:10

It's been a brilliant show. Thank you so much for playing so well.

0:48:100:48:13

Sophie and Brendan. Brilliant. APPLAUSE

0:48:130:48:17

Join us next time,

0:48:170:48:18

when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.

0:48:180:48:22

-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

0:48:220:48:24

And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.

0:48:240:48:26
