0:00:13 > 0:00:16CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:25 > 0:00:28and welcome to this special news edition of Pointless Celebrities,
0:00:28 > 0:00:31the show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36APPLAUSE
0:00:38 > 0:00:42- Couple number one.- I'm Alastair Stewart and I'm an ITV newsreader.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45I'm Charlene White and I'm also an ITV newsreader.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48APPLAUSE
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Couple number two.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54I'm Nick Robinson. I'm a presenter of Radio 4's Today programme.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57And I'm Emily Maitlis and I work for BBC Newsnight.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01APPLAUSE
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Couple number three.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06I'm Cathy Newman and I present Channel 4 News.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09I'm Rageh Omaar and I'm a presenter and reporter for ITV News.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12APPLAUSE
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- And, finally, couple number four. - I'm Piers Morgan.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19I am currently the co-host of Good Morning Britain,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22although by the time this airs, that is unlikely to be the case.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26I'm Susanna Reid. I'm also on Good Morning Britain,
0:01:26 > 0:01:30but sometimes I'm just a guest on the Piers Morgan Show.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Thanks very much, all of you. A very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show
0:01:38 > 0:01:41as it goes along. That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43He's the man who knows what's what
0:01:43 > 0:01:45and he can get our editors' names in before the pips.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Hiya. Hi, everybody. Good evening.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53APPLAUSE
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Good evening to you.- Good evening.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- I'm so excited about this one, are you?- So much, yes.- What a line-up.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01The most competitive shows we ever do
0:02:01 > 0:02:04are when we have sports stars on, normally.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05But walking up and down the line beforehand,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08I think this might be even more brutal.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11This might be like an episode of Game Of Thrones, I think,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- this evening, don't you think? - LAUGHTER
0:02:13 > 0:02:15But it's going to be great, isn't it?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Fantastic. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18As usual, all of today's questions
0:02:18 > 0:02:20have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Our contestants are looking for those all-important pointless answers,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25these being answers that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Find of those and we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Now, as today's show is a celebrity special,
0:02:30 > 0:02:33each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36we start off with a jackpot of £2,500. There we are.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39APPLAUSE
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46APPLAUSE
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Here's the thing. Here is the thing.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53The pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:53 > 0:02:55will be eliminated. That's it.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Just keep your score nice and low and you'll be fine.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category this evening is...
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Words.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Let's find out what the question is.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Words ending in "DLE".
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Simply looking for any word which has its own entry
0:03:31 > 0:03:33in the British and World English section
0:03:33 > 0:03:36of oxforddictionaries.com that ends "DLE".
0:03:36 > 0:03:39As always, no proper nouns, no hyphenated words.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Loads of pointless answers out there as well.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Thank you very much. Alastair, very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- Thank you.- Good to have you here.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Over the years, you have broken a great many stories.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52You've been the person on the scene
0:03:52 > 0:03:54when all sorts of events have unfolded.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Do you have any particular favourites,
0:03:56 > 0:03:58any ones that stand out in your memory?
0:03:58 > 0:04:02I think the Berlin Wall in 1989 is the one that stands out.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05My father was in the Royal Air Force and he'd been in Bomber Command,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08so we grew up with the bombers, with nuclear weapons
0:04:08 > 0:04:10at the bottom of our garden, quite literally.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13So, to stand there in '89 and see the Wall come down
0:04:13 > 0:04:15and the possibility of some kind of rapprochement
0:04:15 > 0:04:17was really very moving.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20And then to see the faces of all of those young people in East Berlin
0:04:20 > 0:04:24finally win the day, it was amazing, and that will live with me.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Incredible. Now, words ending "DLE", Alastair.- Yeah.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I'm going to go with "twaddle."
0:04:30 > 0:04:33"Twaddle," says Alastair. Our first answer of the show, "twaddle."
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Let's see how many of our 100 people said "twaddle".
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Very well done indeed, Alastair. "Twaddle."
0:04:47 > 0:04:49APPLAUSE
0:04:49 > 0:04:511.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Fantastic start to the round and, indeed, the show. "Twaddle."
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Yeah, that's a terrific answer, Alastair.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58So tough on that first podium to come up with stuff.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Foolish speech, "twaddle".
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Now, Nick, welcome to Pointless.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05As such an affable person,
0:05:05 > 0:05:08you have a great skill for getting up certain people's noses.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12- Off the top of my head, well, George W Bush, let's not forget.- Yeah.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Alex Salmond, let's not forget. What's behind this?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19You're just a very, very persistent questioner.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21I think, possibly, being what we call, where I'm from,
0:05:21 > 0:05:24being arsey - that's probably the reason.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26I constantly was asking George Bush a series of questions
0:05:26 > 0:05:28he didn't really want asked,
0:05:28 > 0:05:30like was he in denial about the Iraq War,
0:05:30 > 0:05:32which he took a little bit of offence to.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35And then I thought, slightly offensively in return, on a hot day
0:05:35 > 0:05:40when I was at a news conference, out in the sunshine, mopping my brow
0:05:40 > 0:05:41he turned to me and said,
0:05:41 > 0:05:43"Next time, you should cover your bald head."
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- LAUGHTER - Which told me.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Wow, what about that?
0:05:48 > 0:05:53Anyway, Nick, you've had a little bit longer than Alastair. "DLE".
0:05:53 > 0:05:57I'm going for the American theme. "Panhandle."
0:05:57 > 0:05:59"Panhandle." Let's see if that's right,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02let's see how many of our 100 people said panhandle.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Is it a word?- It's a word. Look at that.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Pointless! There we are, Nick.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15A pointless answer adds £250 to our jackpot,
0:06:15 > 0:06:18taking our total up to £2,750.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20APPLAUSE
0:06:20 > 0:06:23It scores you nothing and earns you considerable kudos.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26We did say it was going to be competitive, didn't we?
0:06:26 > 0:06:27LAUGHTER
0:06:27 > 0:06:30"Panhandle". It's a word for a strip of land
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- between one territory and another. "Panhandle".- Thank you, Richard.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Now, Rageh, great to have you here. - Thank you.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Now, one of our most famous foreign correspondents.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- Do you miss being out in the cut and thrust?- A little bit.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51I miss the camaraderie, because it is a very competitive industry,
0:06:51 > 0:06:54but you make a lot of friends and you have to survive on the road
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- in very difficult sort of places. - Yeah.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59So, I miss that, but I enjoy seeing my kids as well.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- Might you ever go out again, do you think?- I still do.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Not as much, but I've been covering stories in Iran,
0:07:05 > 0:07:10I've been to northern Iraq, I've been to Nigeria, Sudan,
0:07:10 > 0:07:14so I still do go out but not as much as I used to.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- OK, Rageh, "DLE." Words ending in "DLE."- Minus 1.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Um, I'm going to go for "bundle".
0:07:20 > 0:07:22"Bundle", says Rageh.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Let's see how many of our 100 people said "bundle".
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- Oh.- 21.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38APPLAUSE
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Yeah, a collection of things tied or wrapped together.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Thank you very much, Richard.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- Now, Susanna.- Oh, yes.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Do you know, I just thought about this.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Three out of our eight are early risers. How do you do it?
0:07:52 > 0:07:56What's the structure of your day? Do you divide your sleep into two?
0:07:56 > 0:08:01- Yes, exactly. The alarm is set for 3.20 each morning....- Ah!
0:08:01 > 0:08:04..and then I turn the alarm off and I kind of play Russian roulette
0:08:04 > 0:08:08with my eyelids and I just let them close and then open and then...
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- I've only overslept twice on that system.- Not bad.- Yeah.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I was saying to you earlier, I think Good Morning Britain
0:08:14 > 0:08:17is probably the most... It's the best place to be for Pointless.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19You get to meet so many different people.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- I think it's just the best place to be anyway, isn't it?- Exactly.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- There you are, exactly. Now, Susanna.- Yes.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28What are you going to go for?
0:08:28 > 0:08:33- I'm going to for "rekindle". - Ooh.- Oh, that's nice.- I like it.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36"Rekindle." Let's see how many of our 100 people said "rekindle."
0:08:39 > 0:08:43It's right. 21's our high score at the moment. 0 is our low score.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45"Rekindle" takes you past 21.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Oh!- Very well done indeed.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51APPLAUSE "Rekindle," scoring you 1.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- That's terrific stuff, Susanna. Well played. What a round, eh?- Mmm.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59It's when your book doesn't download properly. Just so annoying.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02LAUGHTER We're halfway through the round,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05so let's look at those scores. Well done, Nick.
0:09:05 > 0:09:100, the best score of that pass. Nick and Emily looking quite strong
0:09:10 > 0:09:13as contenders for Round Two. Alastair and Charlene on 1
0:09:13 > 0:09:16and Susanna and Piers on 1 as well. Now, 21, Rageh.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19You've left Cathy with a mountain to climb.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23- A mountain to climb. - But good luck with that.- Thanks!
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32OK, so, Piers, remember it's words ending in "DLE."
0:09:32 > 0:09:34"Rekindle" - absolutely fantastic
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- word.- That was a star.- Wasn't it?
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Piers, when did you come back from the US? When did you move back here?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43When I left CNN, so about 18 months ago, so I had about ten years there,
0:09:43 > 0:09:47doing various shows, and America's Got Talent and then CNN.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I had a good time.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51You had a great time, didn't you? Do you miss it at all,
0:09:51 > 0:09:54or did you miss us so much you had to come back?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56I love being back. I missed all the things...
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Anyone who's worked in America or anywhere else,
0:09:59 > 0:10:00you miss the weird little things.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Our pubs, our cricket, our baked beans,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06the fish and chips with mushy peas, just the way you like them.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09It's all those little things that start to eat away at you.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11And now I just come back and eat them.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13So, yeah, it's great to be back.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Very good. Now, Piers, you're on 1.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18The high-scorers at the moment are Cathy and Rageh on 21.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20So, 19 or less is what you need.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23OK, I'm going to go for...
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- .."cradle."- Mmm.- "Cradle."
0:10:26 > 0:10:28"Cradle," says Piers.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Here is your red line. Get below that with "cradle"
0:10:30 > 0:10:34and you are into the next round. How many of our 100 people said it?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37It's right.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Look at that! 16.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Very well done indeed. APPLAUSE
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Takes your total up to 17
0:10:47 > 0:10:49and sees you into Round Two.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52And even deliberately getting quite close to 21
0:10:52 > 0:10:54to make it even worse for Rageh.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57That's what Piers has done there. So clever.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59So, now, Cathy, welcome.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- Mmm, yes.- Welcome to Pointless. Now you,
0:11:01 > 0:11:04before you went into journalism, were a violinist.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- I was.- Were you going to pursue a career in music, do you think?
0:11:08 > 0:11:12I was all set on being a violinist and then I saw Kate Adie,
0:11:12 > 0:11:14who was on the BBC.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17So I abandoned all thought of being a violinist and thought,
0:11:17 > 0:11:18"I'm going to be Kate Adie."
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Well, that didn't quite work out, but I'm sort of halfway there.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22It kind of did.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- Well, I'm not standing in a flak jacket.- No.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- I'm here in the Pointless studio. - Yes.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Oh, she's good at that. - Which is kind of as terrifying!
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- She's been on, hasn't she, Kate Adie?- She has, yeah.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Oh, she was brilliant, Kate Adie.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- Oh, no!- Her words were superb!
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- So brave.- Yes.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Now, 21. You're the high-scorers.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42- We need a low score.- OK.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45"Sidle."
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- There we go. Very nice. - It's not that good.- "Sidle."
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- It's not that good.- No red line for you, as you're the high-scorers.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54But let's see how many of our 100 people said "sidle."
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Come on, come, on, come on...
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- Yes!- 10.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Taking your total up to 31. APPLAUSE
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Yeah, to walk sideways or obliquely. It's a very good answer.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Given yourself a chance there, Cathy.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Could be interesting, these last two podiums now.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Yes.- No pressure.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- Now, Emily. Emily, welcome to Pointless.- Thank you very much.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Now, you get to meet
0:12:26 > 0:12:29all sorts of people on Newsnight, don't you?
0:12:29 > 0:12:30- That's what we do. - Prime ministers...
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- Well, it is, it's what you do. - That's what we do.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34And you have interviewed Donald Trump.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39- Many times.- Many times?- Weirdly. - What...what's he like?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Oh, he's a charming chap, actually. Yeah, it's all bluster.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44There was this wonderful moment, actually,
0:12:44 > 0:12:46where I interviewed him in a greenroom,
0:12:46 > 0:12:47in a dressing room,
0:12:47 > 0:12:49and before we started the interview,
0:12:49 > 0:12:52he actually sent for hairspray - as you do.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55And three assistants came back with cans of hairspray
0:12:55 > 0:12:57at the same time and he self-lacquers.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I don't know if that's a phrase, but he does.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02He sprays and lacquers and it sort of,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05you know, the comb-over is done to his taste.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10Terrifying. Right, Emily, you're on nothing. Excellent score from Nick.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11I think this gives me the chance
0:13:11 > 0:13:14to go up to 100, really, without worrying.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16That's the way I've explained it to Nick.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- Well, 30 or less is your target. - Um...
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- I'm going for "dwindle." - Oh, very nice.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25"Dwindle." Here is your red line.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28If you can get below that red line, you are through to the next round.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30"Dwindle."
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Very well done.
0:13:39 > 0:13:404 for "Dwindle."
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- Fantastic! - Taking your total up to 4.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47APPLAUSE
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Well played, Emily. Very good answer.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51As used in the sentence, "Cathy and Rageh's chances
0:13:51 > 0:13:54"on Pointless Celebrities were beginning to dwindle."
0:13:54 > 0:13:56LAUGHTER
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- Then we sidled off. - LAUGHTER
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- PIERS:- Twaddle! - LAUGHTER
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- Now, Charlene.- Hi. - Welcome to Pointless.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06So, how did you get into journalism? What was your route in?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08My route was I did a lot of work placements.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I wanted to be a lawyer
0:14:10 > 0:14:13until I was about 16 and then went on law work experience
0:14:13 > 0:14:15in Croydon Crown Court.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Fell asleep in court, because it wasn't as exciting as LA Law.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21So, I decided I wanted to tell people stories
0:14:21 > 0:14:24and change the world in that way instead, so became a journalist.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25There you are.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28As an anchor at ITN, are you sort of on call all the time?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Yeah, I have no routine whatsoever.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I get to work with the lovely Alastair a lot, which is wonderful.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37So, I chop and change, sometimes with Alastair, sometimes with Mark.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- I basically go with whoever, really. - Very good indeed.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Now, Charlene, this is exciting.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46The high-scorers, I'm afraid, are still Rageh and Cathy on 31,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48so you want a score of 29
0:14:48 > 0:14:52- or less. - OK, so I'm going to go for...
0:14:52 > 0:14:53"Doodle."
0:14:53 > 0:14:55"Doodle." "Doodle."
0:14:55 > 0:14:58That's the most popular answer anyone has given.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Everyone loves "Doodle." There is your red line.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02You have to get below that with "Doodle."
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Let's see if you can do it. How many people said it?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Very well done.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Yes!
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- APPLAUSE 6.- Brilliant.- Wonderful.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Taking your total up to 7. Very well done.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Very well played, Charlene. That's a relief, isn't it?
0:15:24 > 0:15:28- That really is.- And going last is tough.- It's nerve-racking.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30To scribble absentmindedly, to doodle.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32There's loads of good pointless answers here,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35loads of words on the pointless answer list that you'll know.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36Let's look at a few of them.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39To enkindle.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43"Flapdoodle" - your guess is as good as mine!
0:15:43 > 0:15:46"Girdle" is a pointless answer, amazingly.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50"Labradoodle," a cross between a Labrador and a poodle.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55To mollycoddle. There's "panhandle." We had that from Nick.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Skedaddle. "Swaddle" a pointless answer. And unsaddle as well.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00Let's look at the top three answers,
0:16:00 > 0:16:04the one that most of our 100 people said when we asked them online.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- And "idle" at the top. Who'd have thought?- There we are.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Thank you very much, Richard. So, at the end of our first round,
0:16:16 > 0:16:19the pair we have to say goodbye to, with their not that high,
0:16:19 > 0:16:20but highest score of 31,
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- is Cathy and Rageh. I'm so sorry. - I'm sorry.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Come back and play again. It's been lovely having you. Thanks for playing.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Cathy and Rageh. APPLAUSE
0:16:31 > 0:16:33For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36APPLAUSE
0:16:37 > 0:16:39And so we're down to three pairs.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43Very well done, everyone.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48Single figure scoring in that round from all our remaining contestants,
0:16:48 > 0:16:50apart from Piers. LAUGHTER
0:16:50 > 0:16:52But the game is but young.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Cinema.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11OK, and the question concerns...
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Films... LAUGHTER
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Films and their directors. Richard.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- Gone down well, hasn't it? - Yes.- Blimey!
0:17:23 > 0:17:26On each board, we're going to show you six pairs of films
0:17:26 > 0:17:27all directed by the same person.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30You just need to name the directors for these pairs of films.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32We'll give you their initials as well.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Six on the first board, six on the second,
0:17:34 > 0:17:3612 in all to have a go at home. Very best of luck.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40On each board, we're looking for the names of six directors for you to choose from.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Our first board of six looks like this.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02I'll read those all again.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19That's not as bad as you thought, is it?
0:18:19 > 0:18:20It's pretty close to being
0:18:20 > 0:18:23as bad as I thought, yes.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24Er, The Shining and 2001
0:18:24 > 0:18:26is Stanley Kubrick.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Stanley Kubrick, says Alastair.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29Let's see if that's right
0:18:29 > 0:18:31and how many of our 100 people agree with Alastair.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34It is right.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- Look at that! 14. - That's really good!
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- Is that all right? Is it good? - It's good.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- This is good. 14 for Stanley Kubrick.- Well played, Alastair.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48He only ever won one personal Oscar.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- That was for Best Visual Effects for 2001, Stanley Kubrick.- Really?- Mmm.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Nick. Nick.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56I'm going to for Alien
0:18:56 > 0:18:58and Gladiator - Ridley Scott.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59Ridley Scott, says Nick.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Let's see how many of our 100 people said Ridley Scott.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08It's right. 14 is our only score at this point.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11And Ridley Scott finishes at 42.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- APPLAUSE - Well done.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Once directed an episode of Z Cars, Ridley Scott.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- Bet that was a very good episode. - It was.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26- A £47 million budget it was, which, back in those days, was a lot.- Yeah.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Thanks very much, Richard.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Now then, Susanna. Susanna, this board's all yours.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34If you wanted to, you could go through it
0:19:34 > 0:19:36and fill in all those directors for us.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Slumdog Millionaire and Trainspotting is Danny Boyle.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44Goodfellas, Wolf Of Wall Street - Martin Scorsese.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Jaws, Raiders Of The Lost Ark - Steven Spielberg.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50And Fight Club, Social Network - David Fincher.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- I'm going to go for David Fincher. - David Fincher.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I think that's the right one to have gone for.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Let's see how many of our 100 people said David Fincher.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01It's right. 42 is our high score, 14 our low.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- You pass 42.- Come on!
0:20:03 > 0:20:05You pass 14.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Down to 5. Very well done indeed.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Splendid work on the far podium. 5. APPLAUSE
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Great work, Susanna. Took us through the board perfectly and then chose
0:20:16 > 0:20:21- the best answer of the ones you knew as well.- It's an ace.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25He would've scored 76 you did well to avoid that.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Martin Scorsese for the next one,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30he would have scored you 26.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33And Danny Boyle would have scored you 36.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35So, David Fincher best answer on the board.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Thanks. We're halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores.
0:20:38 > 0:20:415 the best score of the pass, Susanna. Very well done.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Then up to 14, where we find Alastair and Charlene.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Then 42, Nick and Emily.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Emily, find a low score. We need a low score from you.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Let's put six more clues up on the board and here they are...
0:21:17 > 0:21:18I'll read those again.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32Piers.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35I'm going to go for Kathryn Bigelow
0:21:35 > 0:21:37for Hurt Locker and Point Break.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40OK, Kathryn Bigelow, says Piers. Here is your red line.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Get below that with Kathryn Bigelow,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44you are into our head-to-head round.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50It's right.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Kathryn Bigelow sees you into the head-to-head. Well done.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Down it goes. That's a great answer! 3!
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- APPLAUSE - Thank you.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Application, Piers, for the last round.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Takes your total up to 8.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04That's another great answer, Piers. Very well done.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07They mean business. In fact, everyone means business, don't they?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- They're very clever today.- Yeah. Now then, so, Emily.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Yeah, it's a lot of pressure now.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Cos, film, it will astonish you to know, is not my forte.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20I'm going to go for Woody Allen,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- Annie Hall and Blue Jasmine. - Woody Allen.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24No red line for you as you're the high-scorers.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Let's see how many of our 100 people said Woody Allen.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30It's right.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35Not bad. 26.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39APPLAUSE 26. 68 is your total.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41It's a good answer. Keeps the pressure on a bit.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Four Oscars Woody Allen's won -
0:22:43 > 0:22:45three of them for Original Screenplay.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46Thanks very much indeed.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Now, Charlene, you can talk us through the board,
0:22:49 > 0:22:50if you like.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Titanic and Avatar is James Cameron.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Pulp Fiction and The Hateful Eight is Quentin Tarantino
0:22:55 > 0:22:58and Psycho and Vertigo is Alfred Hitchcock.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00So I'm going to go for
0:23:00 > 0:23:02The Godfather, Apocalypse Now - Francis Ford Coppola.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Francis Ford Coppola. Let's see if that's right
0:23:05 > 0:23:07and how many people said it. There's your red line.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Not too high, not too low, but get below that,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12you are into the head-to-head. How many said Francis Ford Coppola?
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- It's right.- Well done, well done.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- You've done it.- Yes!- Well done. Look at that. 42.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- Bingo!- 42, taking your total up to 56.- Bingo day.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26APPLAUSE
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Very nicely played, Charlene.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30The best two answers had already been taken
0:23:30 > 0:23:32in this round. Titanic and Avatar
0:23:32 > 0:23:34is James Cameron.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35A slightly better scorer than Coppola.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38But the other two were bigger scorers.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Quentin Tarantino would have scored you 71
0:23:41 > 0:23:45and Alfred Hitchcock would have scored you 63.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Thanks very much indeed. So, at the end of our second round,
0:23:48 > 0:23:51the pair we have to say goodbye to, I'm afraid, a high score of 68,
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- it's Emily and Nick. PIERS:- Oh, no(!)
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- Stop it!- I'm so sorry. ALASTAIR COUGHS:- ITV!- Nothing...
0:23:56 > 0:23:59LAUGHTER
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Well, thank you so much, Emily and Nick.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02Please come and play again.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Is there a quiz question with the answer "inferiority complex"?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07LAUGHTER
0:24:07 > 0:24:10It's been lovely having you on. Thanks so much for playing.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12APPLAUSE

0:24:38 > 0:24:40and we do that by making you go head-to-head.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43But you can start playing as teams, which is nice. You can confer.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10We're looking for the surnames of any of these people, please.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Let's reveal our political families, and here they are.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46There we are. Five political surnames we need.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Now, Piers and Susanna, you've been our low-scorers up this point,
0:25:49 > 0:25:50so you will go first.
0:25:53 > 0:25:58Um, we're going to go with the Bottomleys, A.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06Now, Charlene and Alastair, do you want to talk us through all...

0:26:09 > 0:26:13Um, B is Sarkozy on the left and you say...
0:26:13 > 0:26:18- No, cos that's not his brother. - I think it might be his son.- Yeah.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24D is Robert and Jack Kennedy.

0:27:13 > 0:27:14APPLAUSE
0:27:14 > 0:27:1931. Which means very well done, Piers and Susanna.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21After one question, you're up 1-0.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- PIERS:- Do you want to go? - We're doing fine, Piers!
0:27:24 > 0:27:26You've given the best answer you could as well.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29That's the best answer on the board. The Bottomleys. B is the Sarkozys.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33That's him with his son, who's a councillor, Jean Sarkozy.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38C is the Kinnocks. Quite a low score as well.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43That is the Kennedys, D, of course.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Thanks very much, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Charlene and Alastair, you get to answer this first
0:27:53 > 0:27:56but you have to win this one to stay in the game, so best of luck.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08and the initials of the highest mountains in those countries.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Can you name that mountain, please?
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Let's reveal our mountains and here they are.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35Charlene and Alastair, you will go first.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40Go on, then. We're going to go for Greece, Mount Olympus.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Mount Olympus, say Charlene and Alastair.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Now, Piers and Susanna,
0:28:44 > 0:28:48do you fancy talking us through all those others, as many as you can?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Well, France is Mont Blanc, we know that.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Tanzania we think is Kilimanjaro.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Turkey is Mount something, I can safely say that.
0:28:57 > 0:28:58LAUGHTER
0:28:58 > 0:29:02It could be Mount Argentina.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04You have the final decision.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08I have to deal with this every single morning!
0:29:08 > 0:29:12- What did you make me do it in the evening for as well?- Go on.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15- I can't cope with it. - Go for the one you think will win.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19Oh, I will not hear the end of it unless I go for a massive gamble.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22We're going to go for Argentina.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Argentina, Argentina.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29So, we have Olympus and we have Argentina.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32- It's very good if it is right, honestly.- It's not going to be...
0:29:32 > 0:29:34- CHARLENE:- We'll never hear the end of it if it's right.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- Just wait till it's wrong. - I'm so looking forward to this.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40- Now, Mount Olympus.- That does not fill me...- Well, I don't know.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Let's see. Mount Olympus. Is it right?
0:29:42 > 0:29:45How many of our 100 people said Mount Olympus?
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Mount Olympus is right.
0:29:51 > 0:29:5255.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55APPLAUSE
0:29:55 > 0:29:57What were we thinking?!
0:29:59 > 0:30:02- But, though, you were taking a punt...- Yes.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06..on the mountain in Argentina being called Argentina.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08LAUGHTER
0:30:08 > 0:30:10- It could be!- It's not, but why not? - It begins with A.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12It may! Let's just find out.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- Let's see. Is it right?- Come on! - Is it right?
0:30:18 > 0:30:19Oh!
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Strangely...
0:30:21 > 0:30:24LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Can someone just record this moment for posterity?
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Piers Morgan with his head in his hands.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34- LAUGHTER - Argh!
0:30:34 > 0:30:36What were you thinking?!
0:30:36 > 0:30:38LAUGHTER
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Do you know what, I admire his chutzpah, though.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43I definitely do, exactly. Very well done, Charlene and Alastair.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46After two questions, it's 1-1. You're back in the game.
0:30:46 > 0:30:47Very good indeed. Richard.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50It's weird, cos normally mountains ARE named after the countries.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52LAUGHTER
0:30:52 > 0:30:56- They never are, that's the point. - Norway, Brazil, Burkina Faso.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59It's... Genuinely, I think that was a good one to go for.
0:30:59 > 0:31:04It's a good guess. Kilimanjaro would have scored 57 points.
0:31:04 > 0:31:05We'd have lost anyway.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08- It would have been exciting though. - OK, then it was
0:31:08 > 0:31:09a gamble worth taking.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Now, let's fill in these gaps.
0:31:11 > 0:31:12France is Mont Blanc.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14And it's too high a scorer.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17We'll fill in Argentina.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20It's Aconcagua and it's the highest mountain in South America.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22A well-known mountain.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26This other one is a very well-known mountain, because, famously,
0:31:26 > 0:31:28it supposedly had a boat at the top of it.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32- Ararat.- Mount Ararat is the answer.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37- Well done if you said that. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39So, it all comes down to our third question. This is the decider.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Whoever wins this one goes through to the final
0:31:41 > 0:31:44and plays for that jackpot, so best of luck to both pairs.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46We're doing so well.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48We would have lost anyway, just to put it out there.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Our third question is all about...
0:31:53 > 0:31:55- Oh!- Turner Prize winners, Richard.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58We'll show you the initials now of five Turner Prize winners
0:31:58 > 0:32:00and the year in which they won the Turner Prize.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Whichever team gives us the most obscure answer
0:32:02 > 0:32:04is going through to play for that jackpot.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06- Very best of luck, everybody. - Thanks very much.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Let's reveal our five Turner Prize winners and here they come.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Piers and Susanna will go first.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36OK, so the only one we think we know
0:32:36 > 0:32:39is Damien Hirst, 1995.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Damien Hirst. OK, Damien Hirst.
0:32:42 > 0:32:43Now then, Charlene and Alastair,
0:32:43 > 0:32:45can you talk us through the others?
0:32:45 > 0:32:49- No.- You'll be lucky! - LAUGHTER
0:32:49 > 0:32:53- Um, OK, because neither of us know, do we?- No...
0:32:53 > 0:32:55In the process of doing that,
0:32:55 > 0:32:57you might suddenly find the right answer.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01Well, for the last one - MC, 2001 - I'm going to go for MC Hammer.
0:33:01 > 0:33:02LAUGHTER
0:33:02 > 0:33:06- PIERS:- MC Hammer?!- Oh, yes, he's a very well-known Turner Prize winner.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10- Installation art.- Oh, yeah. - Music, scaffolding.- He's brilliant.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14- He's brilliant.- OK, so Piers and Susanna have gone for Damien Hirst.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21- Phew.- It's right.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Wow.
0:33:26 > 0:33:2727.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29APPLAUSE
0:33:29 > 0:33:3127.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34If only 27 people got Damien Hirst, what did the others get?
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Let's see how many people got MC hammer.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38How many of our 100 said that?
0:33:38 > 0:33:40LAUGHTER
0:33:43 > 0:33:44- Yeah, there we go.- I'm shocked.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47- Very well done, Piers and Susanna. - Mr Hammer was robbed!
0:33:47 > 0:33:49After three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52That is unlucky. I went to that last MC Hammer exhibition.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54- It was great!- I got followed
0:33:54 > 0:33:56round by the security guard the whole time
0:33:56 > 0:33:57and all he was saying was,
0:33:57 > 0:34:00"You can't touch this, you can't touch this."
0:34:00 > 0:34:02LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:34:05 > 0:34:06Let's fill these in.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09There will be a couple of names you probably know up here. AK is...
0:34:09 > 0:34:12- Do you know that one?- Anish Kapoor. - Anish Kapoor.- Oh, yeah.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17- GP is...- Grayson Perry. - The wonderful Grayson Perry.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21- DC is Duncan Campbell.- Ah.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27And MC is Martin Creed who's the one who kept turning lights on and off.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32- So, Anish Kapoor the best answer on that board.- There we are.
0:34:32 > 0:34:33Thank you very much indeed.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- Charlene and Alastair. That was eventful, wasn't it?- Oh, it was.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42- Yeah.- I had fun.- Absolutely. It's been lovely having you here.
0:34:42 > 0:34:43Thank you so much for playing.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45I'm sorry we say goodbye to you at this stage,
0:34:45 > 0:34:47but come back and play again and win.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49# Don't cry for me, Argentina... #
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Don't forget, Piers, I know where you work.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55Charlene and Alastair, everyone. APPLAUSE
0:34:56 > 0:34:59For Piers and Susanna, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01APPLAUSE
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Congratulations, Piers and Susanna.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06You've seen off all the competition
0:35:06 > 0:35:09and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18- I feel so proud.- Can we just have a little moment, please?
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- Maybe a little longer. - No, that's enough! Goodness me.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:25 > 0:35:29and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,750.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32- Oh, wow.- There. We are. APPLAUSE
0:35:32 > 0:35:37Well, Susanna, you've traded up. What about that? Charlie Stayt.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41- Charlie who?- Oh! Sorry, Charlie. I got further with Piers.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44One step better. Absolutely fantastic.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46You know what it's like in this final round.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49We put four things up there that are pretty impossible
0:35:49 > 0:35:50and there are subsections.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52There will be three questions behind each topic up there.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Our selection reads like this.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05I think Wimbledon, because tennis, it's got to be tennis related.
0:36:05 > 0:36:10- I know where Wimbledon is.- Mmm. - So, we can't lose.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- Are you happy with that?- Yeah. - Wimbledon it is. OK, Wimbledon.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Very best of luck. Three very different questions here.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Hopefully, one of these suits you.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20We are looking for any manager of Wimbledon FC
0:36:20 > 0:36:25all the way from 1977 to when they became MK Dons in 2004.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27- Get in there! - We are looking for...
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Oh, if you think THAT'S good, Piers, we're looking for
0:36:29 > 0:36:31any UK Top 40 singles by the Wombles.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33LAUGHTER
0:36:33 > 0:36:37- I know, right.- # Wombling, wombling, wombling free... #
0:36:37 > 0:36:38According to officialcharts.com.
0:36:38 > 0:36:39Or we are looking for
0:36:39 > 0:36:41any British player who played
0:36:41 > 0:36:43in the singles tournaments,
0:36:43 > 0:36:45men's or women's, in 2015, please.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47So, managers of Wimbledon FC
0:36:47 > 0:36:48from 1977 to 2004,
0:36:48 > 0:36:50UK top 40 singles by The Wombles
0:36:50 > 0:36:54or British singles players at Wimbledon in 2015.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Been a brilliant show, you've defeated allcomers.
0:36:56 > 0:36:57Very, very best of luck.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00As always, you have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02All you need to win that jackpot
0:37:02 > 0:37:04is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- Are you ready?- Yes.- I'm excited cos I know some of these.
0:37:07 > 0:37:08OK, let's put 60 seconds up
0:37:08 > 0:37:10on the clock. Your time starts now.
0:37:10 > 0:37:11I can't think of a single by
0:37:11 > 0:37:13The Wombles that nobody else would know.
0:37:13 > 0:37:14- Managers of Wimbledon Football Club. - Yes.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- Joe Kinnear, Dave Bassett...- Yes.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20- Well, there's two.- I'm not going to be able to help you here.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22I can go for one of the others, right?
0:37:22 > 0:37:27OK, the most obscure British singles player at Wimbledon last year.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31- OK, well, Andy Murray's the least obscure.- Yes.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35Who is the most obscure? Who were the Wimbledon guys?
0:37:35 > 0:37:37- Or women?- Women?
0:37:37 > 0:37:41- The young woman, what's her name? - Laura...- Laura...
0:37:41 > 0:37:43That's not going to help, is it?
0:37:43 > 0:37:46No, no... Who's the one recently, who's been winning?
0:37:46 > 0:37:51- Da Conte or what is it? What's her name?- Conte? She's not British.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- She is.- Is she?- Yes.- Oh. - What's her name?
0:37:57 > 0:38:00All right. Wombling Free by The Wombles. Wombling Free...
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- Ten seconds left. - ..Dave Bassett, Joe Kinnear.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Are those going to be your answers?
0:38:05 > 0:38:06- You're happy with those?- Yes.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08OK, we'll stop the clock.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10So, of those three,
0:38:10 > 0:38:13which of those is your best shot at a pointless answer, do you think?
0:38:13 > 0:38:17- Joe Kinnear.- Joe Kinnear goes last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:17 > 0:38:19- The Wombling... - Wombling Free.- Wombling Free.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Let's put those answers up on the board in that order
0:38:22 > 0:38:23and here they are.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29There we are. Three good answers...
0:38:29 > 0:38:30TWO good answers on the board there.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32LAUGHTER
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Now, let's just say one of these wins that jackpot
0:38:34 > 0:38:36and you get that jackpot for your charities,
0:38:36 > 0:38:39which charities are you playing for? Piers, you first.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42I'm playing for Great Ormond Street Hospital.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44I had a cousin who was there for a long time
0:38:44 > 0:38:46as a paediatric neurologist,
0:38:46 > 0:38:49so it's a place close to my heart, does amazing work for children.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Arguably the best children's hospital in the world
0:38:52 > 0:38:57and a great flagship hospital for this country, so that's my choice.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01- Susanna?- And at the other end of the sort of time span,
0:39:01 > 0:39:04I'm going for Silver Line, which is for elderly people
0:39:04 > 0:39:06who don't have a lot of contact.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Sometimes the only human voice they hear
0:39:08 > 0:39:09is the television during the day.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12And they get a call once a week from a volunteer.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15- Befriending service, really vital work.- Very good indeed.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18APPLAUSE
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Two excellent charities there.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Let's hope one of these answers wins that jackpot for you
0:39:23 > 0:39:25to split between them. Your fist answer was Wombling Free.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28In this case, we were looking for Wombles UK top 40 hits.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Only one of these answers has to be pointless
0:39:31 > 0:39:33for you to win that jackpot.
0:39:33 > 0:39:34So, for £2,750, let's see
0:39:34 > 0:39:38how many of our 100 people said Wombling Free. Is it pointless?
0:39:40 > 0:39:44- Ooh, bad luck.- It was Remember You're A Womble, wasn't it?
0:39:44 > 0:39:47- It must have been.- It was the only Wombles song anyone knows!
0:39:47 > 0:39:49- Maybe that's not what it's called. - Of course.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52- I think it's called Remember You're A Womble.- Mmm. I forgot.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Sadly not a pointless answer,
0:39:54 > 0:39:56which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Your next answer was Dave Bassett.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00In this case, we were looking for managers of Wimbledon FC
0:40:00 > 0:40:03from 1977 to 2004.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Again, it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot,
0:40:06 > 0:40:10so for £2,750, let's see how many people said Dave Bassett.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15It's right.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Your first answer, Wombling Free, was incorrect.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Dave Bassett, on the other hand, absolutely on the money.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24- Down it goes.- Come on! - If this goes down to zero...
0:40:24 > 0:40:26- Oh.- Oh!- 6.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28APPLAUSE
0:40:31 > 0:40:35- Six people got Dave Bassett. - He's the better known, I would say.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39Good, cos everything is now riding on your third and final answer.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41- He took them to the Cup Final. - Joe Kinnear.
0:40:41 > 0:40:42If this is pointless -
0:40:42 > 0:40:44this is the one you thought most likely to be pointless -
0:40:44 > 0:40:48if it IS pointless, it'll win you £2,750.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Let's see how many people said Joe Kinnear. Is it pointless?
0:40:54 > 0:40:56It's right.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Your first answer, Wombling Free, was incorrect.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01- Dave Bassett took us all the way down to 6.- Come on!
0:41:01 > 0:41:05Joe Kinnear takes us down through the teens, into single figures.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07- Down it... Ooh.- No!- 7.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11- Oh, what a shame! - APPLAUSE
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Well, two very, very good low scores.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17You'd be thrilled with those scores at any other stage of the game
0:41:17 > 0:41:20but, sadly, in this last round, it's only pointless answers
0:41:20 > 0:41:22- that'll win that jackpot for you. - Bobby Gould, wasn't it?
0:41:22 > 0:41:25You didn't find that pointless answer to win you that jackpot,
0:41:25 > 0:41:29so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,750.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32However, as it is a celebrity special and everyone's playing
0:41:32 > 0:41:35for a charity, we're going to donate £500 to each celebrity pair,
0:41:35 > 0:41:37so they can give to their respective charities.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40It's been fabulous having you on. A really entertaining show
0:41:40 > 0:41:43and a brilliant performance all the way through, so thank you.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46And you get a Pointless trophy to take home as well.
0:41:46 > 0:41:47And that's the only silverware
0:41:47 > 0:41:51- Pier's Morgan's going to earn all season!- Piers and Susanna.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54APPLAUSE
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Yeah, the Wombling Free - it's called The Wombling Song.
0:41:57 > 0:41:58Underground, overground, that is.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01It would have scored you 3 points anyway. Remember You're A Womble...
0:42:01 > 0:42:03- Bobby Gould, wasn't it? - Bobby Gould -
0:42:03 > 0:42:05there's only three Wimbledon managers who scored
0:42:05 > 0:42:08any points at all and they were Kinnear, Bassett and Bobby Gould,
0:42:08 > 0:42:10- who would have scored you 4 points. - Oh.- Oh.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13I think you thought of one of the tennis players as well.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16- Johanna Konta.- Johanna Konta would have scored you 1 point.- Oh.- Ooh.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19So I'm glad you didn't say it.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Let's start with those Wimbledon managers, shall we?
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Dario Gradi, who was a manager at Crewe for many years.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28Egil Olsen, the Norwegian. Ray Harford was a manager at Wimbledon.
0:42:28 > 0:42:29Terry Burton as well.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32You could have had Allen Batsford, Peter Withe and Stuart Murdoch.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34All of those pointless answers.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38Wombles now. Sing along if you remember these.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Super Womble. Of course, Super Womble!
0:42:46 > 0:42:48And Wombling White Tie And Tails.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Those were the five pointless answers there.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Slightly worried if you got any of those, but well done if you did.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57And three pointless answers for British singles players.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00He's in the world's top 50 now, Aljaz Bedene.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03This guy's going to go a long way as well - Kyle Edmund.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05You'll hear an awful lot more about him.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08Well done if you got any of those pointless answers at home.
