0:00:28 > 0:00:31the show that makes big winners out of the lowest scorers.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40And couple number one.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Hello, my name's Benjamin Zephaniah
0:00:43 > 0:00:46and I'm a poet and writer and I'm a troublemaker.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48LAUGHTER
0:00:48 > 0:00:52I'm Roger McGough, and I'm a poet and less of a troublemaker, I think.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53- And we're twins.- We're twins!
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Couple number two.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01My name's Kate Mosse.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Obviously I'm a supermodel, and in my spare time,
0:01:03 > 0:01:05I write novels and plays and nonfiction.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09And I'm Kathy Lette. I'm an author, finishing my 14th novel,
0:01:09 > 0:01:10and also, I left school at 16.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13I'm an autodidact - that's a word I taught myself, obviously -
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- so I think I should have a handicap. - And YOU'RE a troublemaker.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17And I am a troublemaker. Yeah.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19APPLAUSE
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Couple number three.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28My name's John O'Farrell. I'm an author and a comedy scriptwriter.
0:01:28 > 0:01:33And I'm Emma Kennedy, and I'm also an author and a comedy scriptwriter.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39And finally, couple number four.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41I'm Terry Deary, I'm a children's author,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44probably best known for the books Horrible Histories
0:01:44 > 0:01:46because I'm a horrible man.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50And I'm Bryony Gordon. I am a columnist at the Telegraph
0:01:50 > 0:01:52and the author of a book called The Wrong Knickers.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53And I know nothing about history.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Nothing?- Nothing.- I don't.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01We'll find out more about each of you throughout the show.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Like your favourite pair of slippers,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08he might not be fashionable but my goodness, he's comfy.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11He's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15Evening.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Good evening to you.- Good evening.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21This is what I like to call one of our "clever people" specials.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22- Yes.- It's all writers.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24WRITERS EXCLAIM
0:02:24 > 0:02:26All right, clever for US.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29We've had a few people on before, Benjamin's been on before...
0:02:29 > 0:02:32I'm very glad he's brought the wonderful Roger McGough with him.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Welcome, Roger.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Kathy's been on before as well, got through to Round Two...
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- Brought my lovely friend Kate. - Brought Kate this time.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- Emma has been on before, and got to the final.- I did.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Didn't win the jackpot,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- but has been through to the final. - Got the trophy.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Got the trophy, exactly.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Lovely to have you all along, it's going to be a cracker.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Some great questions.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- Let's get going.- Oh, let's do it. - Do you think?- Yes.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Thanks, Richard. Now, as usual, all of today's questions
0:02:54 > 0:02:56have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Our contestants are looking for those all-important pointless answers,
0:02:59 > 0:03:01these are the answers that none of our 100 people gave.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Each time you find one of those, we'll add £250 to the jackpot.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Now, as today's show is a celebrity special
0:03:07 > 0:03:09and each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11we start off with a special jackpot
0:03:11 > 0:03:13of £2,500. There it is.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26All you have to remember is this -
0:03:26 > 0:03:28the pair with the highest score
0:03:28 > 0:03:30at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Your job is to make sure you are not that pair.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Best of luck, our first category this evening is...
0:03:37 > 0:03:39THEY ALL GROAN
0:03:39 > 0:03:40XANDER LAUGHS
0:03:40 > 0:03:42- It's Geography. - That's gone down well, hasn't it?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Yeah. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:03:45 > 0:03:47who's going to go second? And whoever's going first,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49please step up to the podium.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55OK. Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:03:55 > 0:04:01We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:04:09 > 0:04:11- Richard.- Yes, we're looking for any country in the world
0:04:11 > 0:04:13that begins with one of those letters, please.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15As always, by country we mean a sovereign state
0:04:15 > 0:04:18that is a member of the UN in its own right.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Thank you very much indeed.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Roger, warm welcome to Pointless.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- Lovely to have you here. - Lovely to be here.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25Now, Roger, do you remember,
0:04:25 > 0:04:29do you remember when you first became a poet?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Do you remember when you first ever read out a poem
0:04:31 > 0:04:33that you had written?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Didn't read it out for a long time,
0:04:35 > 0:04:39but I remember writing my first poems when I was about 17 or 18
0:04:39 > 0:04:41- at Hull, Hull University.- Mm-hm?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44But you were part of the Merseyside, the Beat poet movement.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Yes. I wouldn't say it was a movement.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49In a sense, it was just what we were doing best.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52And I remember I was reading a lot of poetry at the time
0:04:52 > 0:04:54and became a teacher back in Liverpool
0:04:54 > 0:04:56and the poetry I could see around me
0:04:56 > 0:04:59didn't really interest the kids.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02So, I gave them poems that I was writing, the poems about football,
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- about Grandma, about countries beginning with C, F, R.- I see!
0:05:06 > 0:05:10And they enjoyed those and I realised that maybe I was a poet.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13There we are. Never looked back. Right, now, Roger,
0:05:13 > 0:05:17we are looking for countries that begin with these letters.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18All right. Rwanda.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Rwanda, says Roger.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Rwanda. Let's see if that's right.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Let's see how many people of our 100 people said Rwanda.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29It is right.
0:05:32 > 0:05:3420.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- That's all right.- 20 for Rwanda. Good start to the round.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Well played, Roger.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Very nice start. That's in Africa as well, which is nice.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43And it rhymes with a lot.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44- It does.- Quite handy.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45Quite a nice country for a poet.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- It is a good one.- Yeah.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Have a gander at Rwanda.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50And Xander.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54- I went to Rwanda, I saw a panda. - No, you weren't.- Eating Xander!
0:05:54 > 0:05:57LAUGHTER
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Now, Kathy.- Hi. - Welcome back to the show.- Thank you.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Now, Kathy, at what stage did you start writing
0:06:03 > 0:06:05"occupation author"?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08When did you think, "This is what I now do, this is my living"?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Well, I wrote my first book when I was 17, actually,
0:06:10 > 0:06:12about growing up as a surfy girl in Australia,
0:06:12 > 0:06:16because the boys I grew up with disproved the theory of evolution.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17They were evolving into apes.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20For example, they used to get us to cut their names out in paper
0:06:20 > 0:06:23and sticky-tape them to our stomachs and then sun-bake,
0:06:23 > 0:06:26so we'd get a tan tattoo in the shape of their names.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28So, yes, I did start very young.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Now, Kathy, what would you like to go for?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Which country would you like to name?
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Well, I think I'll go for Chad,
0:06:34 > 0:06:37because not many people, I don't think,
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- know that it is actually a place in Africa.- OK, Chad, says Kathy.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Let's see how many of our 100 people said Chad.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50It's right. 20 is our only score at this point.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54You're past 20. 11. Down to 11 for Chad.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Not bad at all, Kathy.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57So glad I went out with that guy.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Well played, Kathy. That rhymes with even more.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02What a lovely answer. I went to Chad with my dad.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- Yeah. He's bad.- Yeah.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07That was a bit... Yeah. Good!
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Emma, welcome to Pointless.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Welcome back, I should say.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- Lovely to be here.- It'd be nice to have another bookend,
0:07:14 > 0:07:15- wouldn't it? - Oh, it would be audacious.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18It would be audacious of me to win twice.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Well... So, Emma, you're one of the writers on Danger Mouse.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- Yes!- So, do you know what's coming up for Danger Mouse?
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- I do, but I'm not going to tell you. - OK. Good, good.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Will...will, erm...the fabulous... I can't remember...
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- Jellyfishovitz. That's your name, isn't it?- Jellyfishovitz.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- Will Professor Jellyfishovitz be returning?- It's unlikely.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42We were very disappointed with the actor.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- All right.- That's true. That is true.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Now, Emma, countries. Countries beginning with these letters.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Yes, I'm going to go for American Samoa.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Said with such confidence.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Yeah, well, I tell you for why.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58It's because I watched a film called Next Goal Wins,
0:07:58 > 0:08:00and it's one of the most wonderful documentaries ever
0:08:00 > 0:08:02and it's about the American Samoan football team.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05OK, American Samoa, says Emma. Let's see if it's right.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Oh, no... Oh, no!
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- Oh, no.- Oh, no. - Listen, you broke out of Africa
0:08:11 > 0:08:13and that's what happens.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Yeah, it's an American territory, I'm afraid.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19But I will say, Next Goal Wins, genuinely
0:08:19 > 0:08:22one of the greatest documentaries I've ever seen. Oh, it's unbelei...
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Even if you don't like sport, you can hate sport,
0:08:25 > 0:08:27it's an unbelievable documentary, isn't it?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- Yeah.- Next Goal Wins.- Yep.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- Brilliant. Thank you.- So good.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Thank you. Bryony.- Hi. - Welcome to Pointless.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Lovely to have you here.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Now, Bryony, you've done some audacious things in your career
0:08:39 > 0:08:41as a journalist. I'm thinking, for example,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44you have set off in a dinghy from Scotland
0:08:44 > 0:08:46and set sail for the Arctic Circle.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- Yes.- That was pretty punchy. Just to write an article for it.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I mean, I didn't have anything else to do.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54So, I thought, why not?
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- And it was kind of a glorified dinghy. It was a rib.- Still.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00It was the first time anyone had done it, would you believe it?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- Amazing.- No-one had thought to do it before!
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- How long did it take you?- Two weeks.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Wow. To Norway?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Well, yeah, we went to the Lofoten Islands.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Oh, beautiful. The Lofoten Islands!
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Bryony, what would you like to go for?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16OK, I'm going to go with Fiji.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Fiji, says Bryony.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Fiji, let's see if that's right.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Let's see how many of our 100 people said Fiji.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26There it is.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Now, 11 is our lowest score.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31100 our highest. You passed the high score.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33And you've passed the lowest score.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Very well done indeed, Bryony.
0:09:34 > 0:09:379. Our first single-digit score.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40The best answer of the round so far, Bryony.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Very well played. It begins with F.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- Yes. Fiji.- If you think about it.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Otherwise it would be Iji.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47It's got two I's in it as well.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- It has got two I's. - Like most of us have!
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Yes, like a lot of us have.- OK, thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:56 > 0:09:599 was our low score in that pass. Well done, Bryony and Terry.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00Looking very strong at this point.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Kathy and Kate looking pretty good on 11 as well.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Then up to 20, Roger and Benjamin.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07And then up to 100, Emma and John, I'm afraid.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10John, a low score from you would be nice.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12But let's see if it's going to be enough.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13We'll come back down the line now.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20So, there we are. Terry, now, remember,
0:10:20 > 0:10:23we are looking for any country whose name begins with
0:10:23 > 0:10:26the letters A, F, R, I or C.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Terry, first, a huge welcome to Pointless.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Did you ever, ever, ever in your wildest dreams
0:10:31 > 0:10:33imagine that Horrible Histories
0:10:33 > 0:10:36would be the huge, huge behemoth it has become?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Yes.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42No, authors are supposed to say, humbly, "Oh, no."
0:10:42 > 0:10:44But when you're an author and you write a book,
0:10:44 > 0:10:46you always imagine it's the best book ever written.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49So, of course you do. Sorry, I've got to be honest.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51No, no. That's perfect.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Do you have a favourite period of history?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Is there one period that you think is just rich comic territory?
0:10:55 > 0:10:59I like the age I grew up with - the 1950s.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02And I once explained this to a little girl and she said,
0:11:02 > 0:11:05"The 19... Is that the Middle Ages?"
0:11:05 > 0:11:07LAUGHTER
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Now, Terry, listen, there you are on 9.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13If you can score 90 or less, you are into the next round.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15What would you like to go for?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17I'll play fairly safe and go for Cuba.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Cuba, says Terry. Cuba. Here is your red line.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22If you get below that, you're through.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24How many of our 100 people said Cuba?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29It's right and you are through.
0:11:35 > 0:11:3710. Very well done indeed, Terry.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Takes your total up to 19.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Very nicely played, Terry. Safely through there. 19 points.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- A good score on podium four. - Very good.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46- Thank you. Now, John.- Yes.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Welcome to Pointless.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Bryony got in a boat and went to the Lofoten Islands
0:11:51 > 0:11:54as part of her research. You've actually stood for Parliament twice.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Yes. I think I did as well there as we're going to do here today,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- so... - LAUGHTER
0:12:00 > 0:12:03You last stood in a by-election in 2013.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05In Eastleigh. Yes, yes.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Could you maintain another election, as it were?
0:12:07 > 0:12:08I might do again at some point.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10But let's see.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Let's see if I can get through Pointless first.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14OK. One step at a time, John.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17OK, there you are. You're the high scorers, I'm afraid, on 100.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19We need a low score from you, obviously.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22I bet there are some pointless answers.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25There might be some close-to-pointless answers.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Yeah, I'm nervous about this one,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28but I've got to go for something low.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30I'm going to go for Cape Verde,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- or Cabo Verdi as I think they like to be called.- Cabo Verdi.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Always call them what they like to be called.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Let's see how many of our 100 people said Cabo Verdi.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40No red line, as I say, because you're the high scorers.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43It's right.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48I think it's going to be a low one, John.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50It's pointless!
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Look at that - from one extreme to the other!
0:12:52 > 0:12:58That adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £2,750.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03It scores you absolutely nothing and it leaves your total at 100 points.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07You see, you get a Fulham fan on the show, this is what happens.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Suddenly, no-one scores anything.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Yes, used to be the Cape Verdi Islands, now Cabo Verdi.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15That's what they call it. And it's a pointless answer.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- Terrific stuff.- There we are. Kate, welcome to the show.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Hello, hello!- Now, you were a publisher before you were a writer.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22I was. Yes, poacher turned gamekeeper.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25What would your advice be to aspiring writers watching now?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Pithy advice.- Pithy advice?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30It's sounds ridiculous, but the only thing is, you've got to write.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32If you had a quid for everybody who came up to you
0:13:32 > 0:13:34and told you about the book they WERE going to write.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- Yeah.- So, everybody watching, all you can do,
0:13:37 > 0:13:40it doesn't matter how long you've got, just put a pad by the kettle,
0:13:40 > 0:13:43pen by the kettle. Just describe what the smoke looks like when it's
0:13:43 > 0:13:47coming out the kettle and then you can say every day you're a writer.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Very good indeed. You're on 11.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51The high scorers remain John and Emma on 100,
0:13:51 > 0:13:53which means 88 or less is your target.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55What would you like to go for?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57I'm going to go for Cameroon.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Cameroon, says Kate.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Cameroon. Here is your red line.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04If you get below that with Cameroon - (I think you will) -
0:14:04 > 0:14:06you're through to the next round.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08How many of our 100 people said Cameroon?
0:14:10 > 0:14:11Look at that.
0:14:17 > 0:14:1820.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Taking your total up to 31. - Very well played, Kate.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Very nice answer.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27The only country in the world that's an anagram of "macaroon".
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- It's why I went for it, obviously. - Exactly that.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31Benjamin, welcome back.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Hello.- Welcome back.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Now, as a self-confessed troublemaker,
0:14:35 > 0:14:38You're now listed by the Times
0:14:38 > 0:14:42as one of the 50 most important post-war writers.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44You're now a professor at Brunel.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47You're very much at the heart of the Establishment now, Benjamin.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Did you ever imagine this was going to happen?
0:14:50 > 0:14:51It's interesting.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55To a certain extent, I think, what I do, I want to inspire other people.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58So, if that inspires other people, then so be it.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00I think creative people
0:15:00 > 0:15:03can get their creativity from so many places.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05But the most important place is yourself,
0:15:05 > 0:15:07so it's about inspiring people.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09It not about the qualifications you have.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10No. No, indeed.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12But I suppose it's good.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15The Establishment is a better place now because it has you amongst it.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Ah!
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Anyway, there we are! Now, what are you going to go for?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Going red now.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24What would you like to go for, Benjamin?
0:15:24 > 0:15:28It's interesting. All the ones that I fancied have been taken.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31So, I'm going to go for Ivory Coast.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Ivory Coast, says Benjamin. Here is your red line.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37If you can get below that red line, nice and high,
0:15:37 > 0:15:38you are through to Round Two.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Let's see how many of our 100 people said Ivory Coast.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46There you go.
0:15:50 > 0:15:526!
0:15:52 > 0:15:556, our second-best score of the round.
0:15:55 > 0:15:5626 is your total.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Very well played, Benjamin. That's another one like Cape Verdi,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Cabo Verdi, in that they call themselves Cote d'Ivoire,
0:16:02 > 0:16:03we call them Ivory Coast.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Begins with C or I, whichever way you look at it anyway.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09So, great answer. Now, a great pointless answer from John.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12There is only one pointless answer on the whole board
0:16:12 > 0:16:16- and that's Cabo Verdi, so very, very well played, John.- Wow.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18APPLAUSE
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Not bad, is it?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Other low scorers you could have had.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Two for the Comoros Islands.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27You would have had four for Costa Rica.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Five for Andorra, seven for Congo and Cyprus.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33You'd have got eight for Croatia, Antigua and Barbuda.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Let's take a look at the top three scores,
0:16:35 > 0:16:37the ones that most of our 100 people said when we asked them online.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- How about that?- Look at that.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Thanks very much, Richard. So, at the end of our first round,
0:16:52 > 0:16:54the pair we have to say goodbye to with their high score of 100,
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I'm so sorry! Please come back and play again.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59It's been wonderful having you on the show. Thank you, John and Emma.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00APPLAUSE
0:17:03 > 0:17:05But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12And so, we're suddenly down to three pairs.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18You've seen off our only finalists.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- Phew!- Yeah. And we've seen off the geography round, as well,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- which is quite exciting. - Another phew!
0:17:23 > 0:17:24Of our remaining contestants,
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Bryony and Benjamin sticking out for their excellent low score there,
0:17:28 > 0:17:29Fiji and the Ivory Coast.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Anyway, best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Our category for Round Two this evening is...
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:17:38 > 0:17:40who's going to go second?
0:17:40 > 0:17:43And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50OK, and the question concerns...
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Colourful Films.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- Richard.- We're going to show you the name of six films,
0:17:56 > 0:17:58all of which have a colour in their title.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01We're also going to show you the director of those films.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03The one thing we've missed out is the colour in the title.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05You need to tell us those colours, please.
0:18:05 > 0:18:0712 in all to have a go at at home.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13So, we're looking for the missing colour from these film titles.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15And here's our first board of six. We've got...
0:18:36 > 0:18:39I'm going to read those one last time.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Roger?
0:18:48 > 0:18:51I like the film,
0:18:51 > 0:18:56so I'll go for burgundy, the bottom one - Anchorman.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57The Legend Of Ron Burgundy.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Ron Burgundy. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Ron Burgundy.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Good answer, Roger. Down it goes.
0:19:09 > 0:19:1028.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14Very nicely played, Roger.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16It's a great film, isn't it?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Very good. Thanks, Richard.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- Kathy.- Well, I adore Woody Allen.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26So, I'm going to go for The Purple Rose Of Cairo, obviously,
0:19:26 > 0:19:29because Woody Allen likes to shoot from the lip, as do I.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Wonderful. OK, Purple Rose Of Cairo, says Kathy.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Let's see if that's right.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Let's see how many of our 100 people went for purple.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Well, 28 is our only score so far, and you pass it.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Down it goes... 14.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- Marvellous.- Well done.- I suddenly thought, "I hope that's right!"
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Another good film, another good answer, as well.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53You've been in a Woody Allen movie, haven't you?
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- I've been in two. - Two Woody Allen movies.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58The two least watched.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Yeah. Anyway, there we are.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Thank you very much indeed. Now, Terry.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Terry, what would you like to go for?
0:20:04 > 0:20:06This board, if you like, is all yours.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08You could go through it and fill in all the blanks for us.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10The violin is...
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Most violins are brown.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14LAUGHTER
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Pretty In Pink is obvious.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20And My Blue Heaven is fairly obvious as well.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22I'll play safe.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24How Green Was My Valley.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26How Green Was My Valley, says Terry.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Let's see how many of our 100 people said How Green Was My Valley.
0:20:34 > 0:20:3572.
0:20:35 > 0:20:3872 for How Green Was My Valley.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Yeah, of the three you knew there, Terry, you picked the middle one.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46you did well to avoid Pretty In Pink, that's the big scorer.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Pretty In Pink would have scored you 91 points.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53My Blue Heaven would have been a better answer.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Only would have scored you 43.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57I think if it was a brown violin,
0:20:57 > 0:21:01they'd just call the film The Violin(!) I think.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03It is called... You don't know that one?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05My Red Violin.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09- It's called The Red Violin. - Sorry. The Red...- Oh, wow.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Two points for that. Very well done if you said that.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12It's a story of a red violin.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Thank you very much, Richard.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:21:17 > 0:21:1914 is where we find Kathy and Kate.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Lovely low-scoring there.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Then up to 28, where we find
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Roger and Benjamin.
0:21:23 > 0:21:2472 is where we find
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Terry and Bryony.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28So, yes, Bryony, we need a low score from you in the next pass.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Don't be tempted to go for an easy thing.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- No, obviously.- You need a low score. - I know the rules.- OK.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34I know, I know!
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- You tell him!- OK. We'll come back down the line now.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:43 > 0:21:46OK. We'll put six more films up on the board.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Here they are. We have got...
0:22:06 > 0:22:08I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20- Bryony.- OK, I'm going to go for this film, because it's quite obscure
0:22:20 > 0:22:23and I don't think that many people will have seen it.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27- And it's Mood Indigo. - Mood Indigo, says Bryony.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30There's no red line for you, because you're the high scorers,
0:22:30 > 0:22:33but let's see how far down that column you can get with indigo.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Well done, Bryony.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Nice low score there. Down it goes.
0:22:42 > 0:22:4411. Very well done indeed.
0:22:44 > 0:22:4783 is your total.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Yeah, kept yourself in the game there, Bryony.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Michel Gondry. He started as a videos director.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54A very good one, as well.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55Thanks very much, Richard.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Now, Kate, what would you like to go for?
0:22:57 > 0:23:00You want to be scoring 68 or less.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02I am so rubbish at this...
0:23:02 > 0:23:04I'm going to have to go for Silver Linings Playbook.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Silver Linings Playbook, says Kate.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Here is your red line.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09If you can get below that with silver,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11you are through to the next round.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Let's see how many of our 100 people said silver.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16It's right.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20You've done it. Very well done indeed.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Look at that, 33. Nothing to worry about.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Fantastic. 47 is your total.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- Well!- Well played, Kate.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Yeah, Jennifer Lawrence won the Best Actress Oscar for that film.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Thanks very much, Richard.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Now, then, Benjamin.- Hmm.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Benjamin, this board is all yours.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Do you want to talk us through it and fill in all those blanks?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41I'm really terrible at films.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43I think I probably know one.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45But I'm going to go for Jackie Brown.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Jackie Brown, Quentin Tarantino.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48Here is your red line.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50If you can get below that with Jackie Brown,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53you're through to the next round. How many people said brown?
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Very well done.
0:24:00 > 0:24:0135.
0:24:03 > 0:24:0435. 63 is your total.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07One of Tarantino's early movies.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Benjamin, well played. Let's fill in the rest of this board.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12- She Wore A...- Yellow.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14..Yellow Ribbon. Yep.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15John Ford movie.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17That would have scored 79.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- County?- Orange County. - Orange County, yep.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23That would've scored 24.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24- And...?- Lavender.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25The Lavender Hill Mob,
0:24:25 > 0:24:27wonderful film,
0:24:27 > 0:24:28would've scored 54.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31So, the best answer on the board, Bryony, if it's any consolation,
0:24:31 > 0:24:33was Indigo. So, well played.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Thanks very much, Richard. So, at the end of our second round,
0:24:35 > 0:24:38the pair we have to say goodbye to with a high score of 83, I'm afraid,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Bryony and Terry, it is your turn. Your turn to leave us.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- Thank you for having us. - It's been such a pleasure.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Thank you so much for playing.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46It's been lovely having you on.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47Bryony and Terry, everyone!
0:24:47 > 0:24:49APPLAUSE
0:24:51 > 0:24:53But for Kathy and Kate, Roger and Benjamin,
0:24:53 > 0:24:55it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Congratulations, Kate and Kathy, Roger and Benjamin.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04You are now one step closer to the final
0:25:04 > 0:25:06and the chance to play for our jackpot,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09which is currently standing at...
0:25:09 > 0:25:11APPLAUSE
0:25:14 > 0:25:17So, now we have to decide who goes through to the final to play for
0:25:17 > 0:25:18that jackpot for their charities.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21We do that by making you go head-to-head.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23You are now allowed to confer before you give the answers.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Here comes your first question.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39And our first question today is all about...
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Beatles singles. Richard.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45We are going to show you five pairs of pictures now and each pair
0:25:45 > 0:25:47represents a title of a single released by the Beatles.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Can you tell us the most obscure one, please?
0:25:50 > 0:25:53OK. Let's reveal our five picture clues.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55And we have got...
0:25:59 > 0:26:00CONTESTANT LAUGHS
0:26:19 > 0:26:23There we are. Kathy and Kate, you are our low scorers,
0:26:23 > 0:26:25so you'll go first.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30- You think?- Hmm.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Well, the number C we like a lot.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34But we also think number A
0:26:34 > 0:26:36is probably more obscure.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37So, we're going with that.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Yeah, we're going with Paperback Writer.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Paperback Writer, say Kate and Kathy.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Roger and Benjamin, that board's all yours.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Do you want to talk us through all of the others?
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Obviously, B is Yellow Submarine.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51We Know E is Helter Skelter.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- Lady Madonna.- Lady Madonna.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- Let's go for Lady Madonna.- Yeah.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Lady Madonna.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02Lady Madonna. So, there's Paperback Writer and Lady Madonna.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Kathy and Kate went for Paperback Writer.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Let's see if that's right for A. Let's see how many people said it.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17Very well done indeed.
0:27:17 > 0:27:1810!
0:27:18 > 0:27:21APPLAUSE
0:27:21 > 0:27:2210 for Paperback Writer.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Roger and Benjamin have gone for Lady Madonna for C.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26Let's see if that's right.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Let's see how many of our 100 people said Lady Madonna.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34It's right.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- Ah...- 51.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38APPLAUSE
0:27:38 > 0:27:4251. Well done, Kate and Kathy. After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44So, gents, nothing you could have done there.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46It's the best answer on the board, Paperback Writer.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47Nothing you could have done at all.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50I was confused for a while because I thought that was Colonel Sanders.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52- LAUGHTER - I genuinely had trouble.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56It's not Colonel Sanders, it's the writer, Ernest Hemingway.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58B is of course Yellow Submarine.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00What do you think Yellow Submarine scored?
0:28:00 > 0:28:01I'd like to think in the 90s.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03- 96, maybe? - Let's take a little look.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- 90.- 90.- That's in the 90s!
0:28:06 > 0:28:08- That's good.- Yep.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10D, you have to know who they are.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- If I tell you the second one is Diane Lane...- Oh...
0:28:13 > 0:28:15- The first one was Penny Lancaster. - Very good.- Penny Lane.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17It would have scored more than
0:28:17 > 0:28:18Paperback Writer,
0:28:18 > 0:28:19it would have scored 11 points.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21And E is not Helter Skelter,
0:28:21 > 0:28:23not Helter Skelter from '65.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25It's Ticket To Ride, yeah.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27That would have scored 61 points.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Thanks very much indeed.
0:28:29 > 0:28:30So here comes your second question.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Roger and Benjamin, you get to answer this one first
0:28:33 > 0:28:35but you have to win this one to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:28:35 > 0:28:40Our second question today concerns...
0:28:40 > 0:28:42LAUGHTER
0:28:42 > 0:28:43Cow jokes.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45- Richard.- Over to you, darling.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48We are giving you the five set-ups now to cow jokes
0:28:48 > 0:28:51and we're giving you alternate letters of the punchlines.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Can you tell us what the punchlines are, please?
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Thank you very much indeed.
0:28:55 > 0:29:00This is fun. Let's reveal our five cow joke set-ups and here they are.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02We've got...
0:29:05 > 0:29:07CONTESTANT LAUGHS
0:29:26 > 0:29:28I'll read those all again.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Roger and Benjamin will go first.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52We'll go for the last one, I think.
0:29:52 > 0:29:53An UDDER failure.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56An UDDER failure.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57An UDDER failure.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59OK, Kate and Kathy, what would you like to try?
0:29:59 > 0:30:02They are horribly fun, in a weird way, aren't they?
0:30:02 > 0:30:04They're pun-tastic.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07We're going to go for the second to last one, aren't we?
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Yeah. I think so.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11It must be BEEF flat.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14- It must be. BEEF flat. - It's obvious.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16OK, we have another failure.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18I've been through a process of elimination.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20It just has to be BEEF flat.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24Whoever wrote these jokes has got mad cow disease, I think.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27I think so. Roger and Benjamin have gone for an UDDER failure.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40It's a good answer, look at that, 17.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Very well done, for an UDDER failure.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46Kate and Kathy have gone for BEEF flat, let's see if that's right.
0:30:46 > 0:30:47Let's see how many people said it.
0:30:51 > 0:30:52It's right.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57- Oh!- 32.
0:30:57 > 0:30:58APPLAUSE
0:30:58 > 0:31:0232, which means well done, Roger and Benjamin, you are back in the game.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Yeah, let's fill in these other three jokes.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09What is it called when one cow spies on another?
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- STEAK out.- A STEAK out.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13That would have scored 19.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15What do you call a cow with no legs?
0:31:15 > 0:31:17- GROUND beef.- GROUND beef.
0:31:17 > 0:31:18I just...
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Oh, that's so tasteless.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22I like that one.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24And what happened to the lost cattle?
0:31:24 > 0:31:26- Nobody's HERD.- Nobody's HERD.
0:31:26 > 0:31:27That scored 43.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30So the best answer on the board is ground BEEF.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34Hmm... There we are, thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:31:34 > 0:31:35So here's your third question.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:31:37 > 0:31:39and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Our third question today is all about...
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Sir Ian McKellen. Richard.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Five clues now to facts about Sir Ian McKellen.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Whichever team gives us the most obscure answer
0:31:49 > 0:31:53will play for that jackpot, so very best of luck to everybody.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they are.
0:31:55 > 0:31:56We've got...
0:32:17 > 0:32:19I'll read those one last time.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Kathy and Kate, you'll go first this time.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Which is the most obscure?
0:32:41 > 0:32:44- Yeah.- Shall we go for that one?
0:32:44 > 0:32:45We know that one.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47We'll go for that one.
0:32:47 > 0:32:48We're going to go for Widow Twankey
0:32:48 > 0:32:50in Aladdin.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Widow Twankey, say Kate and Kathy,
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Widow Twankey. Now, Roger and Benjamin,
0:32:55 > 0:32:58do you want to take us through the rest of these Ian McKellen facts?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Erm...
0:33:02 > 0:33:03The Master for number one.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Character of the X-Men, he played the Master.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08- That's the one you're going to go for?- Yeah.- The Master.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10So we have Widow Twankey and the Master.
0:33:10 > 0:33:11Kathy and Kate said Widow Twankey.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Let's see if that is right.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:33:17 > 0:33:18It's right.
0:33:21 > 0:33:22I saw it.
0:33:22 > 0:33:2422.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26APPLAUSE
0:33:28 > 0:33:29Roger and Benjamin have said
0:33:29 > 0:33:32he played the Master in the X-Men series of films.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Oh. Not the Master.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42I thought that was the Master's pose!
0:33:42 > 0:33:44I'm afraid an incorrect answer,
0:33:44 > 0:33:46which means, Kate and Kathy, very well done.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50After three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57Great head-to-head. Well played, both pairs.
0:33:57 > 0:33:58We'll fill in the board.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01- The character in the X-Men series of films is Magneto.- Yes.
0:34:01 > 0:34:0430 points for that. Let's go down the bottom now.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06The character he played in The Hobbit was...?
0:34:06 > 0:34:08- BOTH: Gandalf. - Gandalf. Yeah.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10It would have scored 47.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12The soap opera - anyone?
0:34:12 > 0:34:15- BOTH: Coronation Street. - Corrie. Yep.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19- It's like hearing a choir. - It's the only one we could do.
0:34:19 > 0:34:2139. They're not joining in on this one.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24This is the hardest one on the board. This would've won the point.
0:34:24 > 0:34:29- The British singer was George Ezra. - Ah.- George Ezra.- That's nice.
0:34:29 > 0:34:30It would have scored you eight points.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Very well done if you said that at home.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Excellent. So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:35 > 0:34:37I'm afraid it's Roger and Benjamin.
0:34:37 > 0:34:38I'm so sorry.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Please come back and play again
0:34:40 > 0:34:41and let's hope next time you will be
0:34:41 > 0:34:44through to the final and lifting the trophy but, meantime,
0:34:44 > 0:34:46thanks very much for playing, Roger and Benjamin.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49APPLAUSE
0:34:49 > 0:34:52But for Kate and Kathy, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Well, congratulations, Kate and Kathy,
0:34:57 > 0:35:00you have fought off, rustled off,
0:35:00 > 0:35:04all the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:09 > 0:35:10You now have a chance
0:35:10 > 0:35:13to win our Pointless jackpot for your nominated charities
0:35:13 > 0:35:17and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,750.
0:35:20 > 0:35:21Amazing.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25OK, now, as always, you get to choose your category.
0:35:25 > 0:35:26This is what happens in the final round.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28We put four categories up on the board.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32Today's selection of options look like this, and we have got...
0:35:38 > 0:35:39You choose, you choose.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Oh, God!
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- 1983.- 1983? Surely a good choice.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48- Richard.- Very best of luck, three very different questions here.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Hopefully one of these suits you.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52We're looking for the name of anyone who was appointed
0:35:52 > 0:35:57- in Margaret Thatcher's Cabinet, post election, in 1983,- Oh, oh.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00We're looking for any of the cast of the first series
0:36:00 > 0:36:01of The Black Adder,
0:36:01 > 0:36:03or we're looking for any of the acts on the very first
0:36:03 > 0:36:07- Now That's What I Call Music album. - Aw...- Which was released in '83.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Very, very best of luck.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Now, you can't say that's not fun.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18- That's fun.- It is fun.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20You've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23All you need to win that jackpot for your charities
0:36:23 > 0:36:25is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26- Are you ready?- OK.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:29 > 0:36:30There they are, your time starts now.
0:36:30 > 0:36:35So with the cast of Black Adder, we can't do him,
0:36:35 > 0:36:38- because he's famous. - Miranda Richardson.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40- Was she in the first one, though? - I don't know.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Was it the cast of all the Blackadders?
0:36:42 > 0:36:43No, it's that first series.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45So she's Queenie.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48- Was that the first one? - I don't know. That's true.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51- Tony Robinson was in it. - Let's do Tony Robinson.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54The man with the long neck who had the big ruff.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56- Oh, yes.- Tim McInnerny.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Was the Elizabethan one the first one?
0:36:59 > 0:37:01I'm not sure. Stephen Fry was in that.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- Stephen Fry.- What if it's not the Elizabethan one?
0:37:04 > 0:37:06What about post-election Cabinet?
0:37:06 > 0:37:09- Heseltine.- Her first one.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Norman Tebbit.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13No, I don't think...
0:37:13 > 0:37:15But that man she... You know?
0:37:15 > 0:37:16What?!
0:37:16 > 0:37:20Parkinson. She must have met him somewhere.
0:37:20 > 0:37:21Ten seconds left.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Which one shall we do?
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- And...- Let's do that Tony Robinson from Black Adder.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30Let's do Heseltine or Parkinson or the first one...
0:37:30 > 0:37:32That is your time up, I'm afraid.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35I now need your three answers.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37If you could say which category you're answering,
0:37:37 > 0:37:40just so I don't confuse Cabinet members with Black Adder.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42- Although...- Hard to see!
0:37:42 > 0:37:47So, cast of the first Black Adder, Tim McInnerny and Tony Robinson.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49And post-election Cabinet, Heseltine.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53- OK.- For the Cabinet...- First name? - Michael.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- Tim McInnerny.- Black Adder. - Tim McInnerny we'll put last.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- Heseltine.- Heseltine. Tony Robinson in the middle.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order. Here they are.
0:38:07 > 0:38:12We've got Michael Heseltine, Tony Robinson and Tim McInnerny.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14So three good answers on the board.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18Now, if one of these works out to be pointless and you win that jackpot
0:38:18 > 0:38:21for your charities, that would be a wonderful thing.
0:38:21 > 0:38:22What charities are you playing for?
0:38:22 > 0:38:26- Kate, you first.- I'm playing for the Parkinson's Society
0:38:26 > 0:38:28because my very wonderful, lovely dad,
0:38:28 > 0:38:32who, with my mum, made it possible for me to do anything I wanted,
0:38:32 > 0:38:34suffered from Parkinson's for ten years,
0:38:34 > 0:38:37and when he died, instead of having flowers and things,
0:38:37 > 0:38:39it all went to the Parkinson's Society,
0:38:39 > 0:38:41and my mum did the same, so I'd love them to have a boost
0:38:41 > 0:38:43- and a bit more support.- Wonderful.
0:38:47 > 0:38:48Kathy, how about you?
0:38:48 > 0:38:52I'm today playing for Ambitious About Autism,
0:38:52 > 0:38:55because my son is autistic and what he's taught me, of course,
0:38:55 > 0:38:58is that there's no such thing as normal and abnormal,
0:38:58 > 0:39:00there's ordinary and extraordinary,
0:39:00 > 0:39:02so Ambitious About Autism is my choice today.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06Fantastic. Well... two wonderful charities there.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10Let's hope you can win that jackpot for those charities.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Now, your first answer was Michael Heseltine.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15In this case, we were looking for post-1983
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Mrs Thatcher Cabinet members.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20This, you thought, was your least likely to be pointless.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23If it is pointless, it will win you £2,750 for your charities.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Let's see how many people said Michael Heseltine.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31- It's right.- Phew!
0:39:31 > 0:39:34All it has to be now is pointless and you will win that jackpot.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Down it goes, Michael Heseltine going down into the teens,
0:39:37 > 0:39:41down into single figures, still going down, still going down.
0:39:41 > 0:39:433! That's a wonderful answer.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Fabulous score.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48- Sadly, not a pointless answer.- No.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Let's hope nobody said your next answer, which was Tony Robinson.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56In this case, we were looking for the cast members of the original
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Blackadder series, The Black Adder.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £2,750.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Let's see how many people said Tony Robinson.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10It's right.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Michael Heseltine took us all the way down to 3.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16Tony Robinson, will he take us down that far?
0:40:16 > 0:40:17No, I'm afraid he won't, 34.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22- And this might be wrong. - Oh, it might be wrong.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24So not a pointless answer,
0:40:24 > 0:40:27which means everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:40:27 > 0:40:30- your most confident answer, you felt.- Not really.- No.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Tim McInnerny.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35This is the one you decided to put last anyway, shall we say?
0:40:35 > 0:40:39If this is right, and if it goes down to the bottom of the column,
0:40:39 > 0:40:42you will leave with £2,750 for your charities.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46Tim McInnerny. How many people said it? Is it right?
0:40:49 > 0:40:50It is right.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55So your first answer, Michael Heseltine, took us down to 3.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Tony Robinson took us down to 34.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Tim McInnerny now taking us down into single figures, down it goes.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Passes 3! Down to 1!
0:41:09 > 0:41:11- Oh.- Oh...- That's so mean.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13That is mean.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:17 > 0:41:19so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,750.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21- However...- We didn't humiliate ourselves!
0:41:21 > 0:41:23..as it's a celebrity special
0:41:23 > 0:41:25and each of you were playing for a charity,
0:41:25 > 0:41:27we're going to donate £500 to each celebrity pair
0:41:27 > 0:41:29- for their respective charities. - Thank you.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32It has been wonderful having you on. Thank you so much.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35And remember, you get to take home a Pointless trophy.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38THEY CHEER
0:41:39 > 0:41:42He's in that first series, he plays Percy, Tim McInnerny.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Let's look at the post-election Cabinet.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46A couple of names you suggested.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Cecil Parkinson would have scored you 9, Norman Tebbit 6.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51But there will be some names you remember,
0:41:51 > 0:41:53even if it's just from Spitting Image.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Up here, let's take a look at some pointless ones,
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Jim Prior was a pointless answer, Keith Joseph, Lord Hailsham,
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Norman Fowler. You could have had George Younger, John Biffen,
0:42:02 > 0:42:05John Wakeham, Michael Jopling, you could have had Patrick Jenkin,
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Peter Rees, Peter Walker or Tom King -
0:42:07 > 0:42:09all of those were pointless answers.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- Very well done if you said any of those at home.- All men!
0:42:12 > 0:42:14We will take a look at Black Adder now.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- Angus Deayton was in that series. - Angus Deayton!
0:42:17 > 0:42:21Frank Finlay, Patrick Malahide, Stephen Frost and Mark Arden,
0:42:21 > 0:42:23his comedy partner, both pointless answers.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25The only people that scored points in that -
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Rowan Atkinson, of course, he would have scored you 83.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30We've had Tony Robinson. Brian Blessed, Rik Mayall, Peter Cook,
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Miriam Margolyes would have scored. Elspet Gray,
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Robert East and Jim Broadbent. Every other character,
0:42:35 > 0:42:38every other actor in that series was a pointless answer.
0:42:38 > 0:42:39Well done if you got one.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Now the acts on Now That's What I Call Music,
0:42:41 > 0:42:44which I have to admit I bought at the time.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47- Bonnie Tyler.- My favourite! - Total Eclipse Of The Heart.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51Limahl was on there, Tina Turner, Tracey Ullman, Heaven 17,
0:42:51 > 0:42:54KC and the Sunshine Band, Rock Steady Crew, Simple Minds,
0:42:54 > 0:42:57The Cure and Will Powers, all of those are pointless answers.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Very well done if you got those at home.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Congratulations on winning our writers special,
0:43:01 > 0:43:03- our clever people special. - Yes, very, very impressive.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06And one point away from that jackpot win as well, terrific performance.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Thank you very much, Richard.
0:43:08 > 0:43:12Kathy, have you come up with a pun to cover this episode of Pointless?
0:43:12 > 0:43:15I think, watch at your own risque.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17LAUGHTER
0:43:17 > 0:43:18Join us next time,
0:43:18 > 0:43:21when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23- Meanwhile it's goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.
0:43:23 > 0:43:25And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27APPLAUSE
