APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:00:160:00:22

Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong

0:00:250:00:28

and a very warm welcome to a special celebrity edition of Pointless,

0:00:280:00:31

the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.

0:00:310:00:34

Every single question on Pointless has been asked to 100 people before the show.

0:00:340:00:38

To be in with a chance of winning our final round jackpot,

0:00:380:00:41

our celebrities need to come up with the answers that the fewest of those 100 people could think of.

0:00:410:00:46

Let's meet our Pointless celebrities.

0:00:460:00:49

APPLAUSE

0:00:490:00:52

First up we welcome Christopher Biggins and Lesley Joseph.

0:00:540:00:58

Hello.

0:00:580:01:00

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:01:000:01:04

You are two of our country's favourite performers...

0:01:040:01:07

Yes, we are.

0:01:070:01:09

-I haven't finished. And I think the word is personalities.

-Yes.

0:01:100:01:13

-How long have you known each other, Lesley?

-30 or 40 years.

-Really?

0:01:130:01:19

We have, I been to Lesley's daughter's Bat Mitzvah,

0:01:190:01:23

her son's Bar Mitzvah, many, many birthdays because she's very old.

0:01:230:01:29

-Yeah, I know.

-We go back a long way.

0:01:290:01:32

Lesley, theatre, musical theatre, all these would be great for you?

0:01:320:01:35

Yes, musical theatre would be absolutely wonderful and I would love you for ever.

0:01:350:01:40

-What about you, Christopher? You won I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

-I did.

0:01:400:01:44

-There are two kings of the jungle here.

-I know, look at that.

0:01:440:01:47

What did you learn on that? Did that teach you anything that might come in handy?

0:01:470:01:51

I loved every moment of it,

0:01:510:01:53

I wouldn't have missed it for the world and I'd never do it again.

0:01:530:01:56

I'm not going to say anything more on that.

0:01:560:02:00

It's lovely to have you both here. Enjoy it.

0:02:000:02:03

The very best of luck. Next we welcome Penny Smith and Jon Culshaw.

0:02:030:02:07

APPLAUSE

0:02:070:02:09

Penny, of course we know you from GMTV.

0:02:130:02:16

Jon, we know you as one of our country's foremost,

0:02:160:02:19

best loved impressionists - how do you two know each other?

0:02:190:02:22

We did a sketch together in 2004. I was playing Eamonn Holmes.

0:02:220:02:26

-And I was playing somebody else.

-You were being you.

-I was rubbish.

0:02:260:02:31

-I tell you myself, I was so rubbish.

-We met during a sketch.

0:02:310:02:36

-Penny, you've sung with Curtis Stigers.

-I spoke to Curtis today.

0:02:360:02:41

-He's in the country.

-Is he?

0:02:410:02:42

I phoned him up and berated him

0:02:420:02:44

and said, "The first thing you do is you step off the plane

0:02:440:02:48

"and phone me and we go to the pub, that's what we do."

0:02:480:02:51

I can't believe he didn't phone me.

0:02:510:02:54

He didn't give you a ring!

0:02:540:02:55

We're going out with Curtis this evening - me, you, Biggins and Curtis.

0:02:550:02:59

-The second he landed, he was on the phone.

-Yes.

0:02:590:03:03

-So wrong.

-Jon, you've done so many impressions,

0:03:030:03:08

-right from Spitting Image, probably before.

-Yes, I think so.

0:03:080:03:12

Do you remember all these people? Do you keep a little catalogue?

0:03:120:03:15

It's interesting, some of them come and go.

0:03:150:03:18

-AS TONY:

-Tony Blair we don't do too much of now, but he's interesting to do.

0:03:180:03:22

-AS OZZY:

-Ozzy Osbourne was a favourite of mine a few years ago.

0:03:220:03:27

-AS MICHAEL:

-Some of my favourites today like Michael McIntyre is one.

0:03:270:03:31

ALEXANDER LAUGHS AND APPLAUSE

0:03:310:03:35

-AS BRIAN:

-Prof Brian Cox because in here there's lots of lights that point.

0:03:350:03:41

-AS ALAN:

-And I like Alan Carr because he walks around like a villain on Scooby Doo.

0:03:410:03:47

APPLAUSE

0:03:470:03:52

-Oh, fantastic. Penny and Jon, welcome to the show and the very, very best of luck.

-Thank you.

0:03:520:03:57

Next we welcome Monica Galetti and Michel Roux Junior.

0:03:570:04:03

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:04:030:04:05

We of course know you both from MasterChef The Professionals.

0:04:070:04:12

But you've been working together for many years. Where did you first meet?

0:04:120:04:16

Monica sent in her CV many years ago

0:04:160:04:19

and I took her on as a young chef and look at her now.

0:04:190:04:24

Still young!

0:04:240:04:25

LAUGHTER

0:04:250:04:26

And still working for Michel, more's the point.

0:04:260:04:30

Are you both as terrifying as you are on MasterChef?

0:04:300:04:33

Yes.

0:04:330:04:35

Oh!

0:04:350:04:36

-And, Monica, you were born in Samoa.

-Yes.

0:04:360:04:40

-Then you went to New Zealand.

-Yes.

0:04:400:04:43

I'm going to say rugby might be a good category.

0:04:430:04:45

-I guess rugby would be a good topic.

-Would it be good? Do you know much about rugby?

0:04:450:04:50

I know a fair bit, like who won last year

0:04:500:04:53

and who lost last year.

0:04:530:04:55

She always brings that up.

0:04:550:04:58

You should have seen her after the World Cup. For those who don't know

0:04:580:05:01

New Zealand and France and New Zealand won it.

0:05:010:05:05

We had New Zealand flags everywhere in the kitchen.

0:05:050:05:09

I opened my locker and a New Zealand flag fell out of it.

0:05:090:05:12

I got into my tiny, little desk in the kitchen,

0:05:120:05:15

pulled the drawer out, a New Zealand flag, everywhere I looked.

0:05:150:05:18

I went home and there was a New Zealand flag on my windscreen.

0:05:180:05:21

It was everywhere, everywhere.

0:05:210:05:24

And that lasted about two weeks.

0:05:240:05:26

Anything you'd hate to see come up, Monica? Any complete bete noire?

0:05:260:05:30

Football.

0:05:300:05:31

I've been here 12 years

0:05:310:05:33

and I'm still trying to get my head around football.

0:05:330:05:36

-What about British celebrity culture?

-Oh, terrible.

0:05:360:05:40

I think children's programmes would be great because I've got a five-year-old.

0:05:400:05:44

-Is there something you can do about shoes?

-OK, shoes, Richard.

0:05:440:05:49

I'll see what I can do. I tell you what, I'll do choux pastry.

0:05:490:05:52

Oh!

0:05:520:05:54

Very good.

0:05:540:05:56

Monica and Michel, welcome to Pointless. The very best of luck.

0:05:560:06:00

And finally we've got Kiffy and Joe Swash.

0:06:000:06:03

APPLAUSE

0:06:030:06:07

Joe, we've already mentioned you were king of the jungle.

0:06:090:06:12

Everyone knows you from playing Mickey Miller in EastEnders.

0:06:120:06:16

-Please introduce your team-mate.

-My team-mate is my lovely mum Kiffy.

0:06:160:06:21

APPLAUSE

0:06:210:06:23

I didn't invite her. You invited her.

0:06:230:06:28

-Joe.

-Yes.

-EastEnders.

-OK.

0:06:280:06:31

Did you learn lots of things from that? Do you remember stuff?

0:06:310:06:34

I spent five or six years at EastEnders,

0:06:340:06:38

so maybe I'll know characters

0:06:380:06:40

and names from people that have been in and out of the show.

0:06:400:06:43

But I haven't watched it for a while, so I might be a bit rusty.

0:06:430:06:46

-You're quite good at EastEnders.

-I'm not bad.

0:06:460:06:48

-Did you watch it when Joe was in? Did you watch every episode?

-I did.

0:06:480:06:52

-And your daughter was in it as well.

-But I didn't know it was my sister when she was auditioning.

0:06:520:06:56

-It was really strange, but it was lovely.

-She just turned up on set?

-Yes.

0:06:560:07:00

And then my mum decided she was going to chaperone, so it was like a home from home.

0:07:000:07:05

I had to watch my P's and Q's in the green room.

0:07:060:07:11

-And that's why you left EastEnders?

-Yeah, I was sick of it.

0:07:110:07:13

Kiffy, what's going to be great for you this afternoon?

0:07:130:07:17

Probably reality TV.

0:07:170:07:20

-I'm a great fan.

-Celebrity stuff generally? Do you keep up with that?

0:07:200:07:25

Yeah, I do, I like to keep up with a bit of celebrity gossip.

0:07:250:07:28

-She loves a gossip, my mum.

-I love a gossip.

0:07:280:07:31

Very good.

0:07:310:07:33

Kiffy and Joe, welcome to the show, enjoy it. The very best of luck.

0:07:330:07:36

We look forward to discovering all your hidden knowledge.

0:07:360:07:40

There's only one person left for me to introduce,

0:07:400:07:42

the kind of man you'd look to in a fact-based crisis.

0:07:420:07:45

He's my Pointless friend Richard.

0:07:450:07:47

Hello.

0:07:470:07:48

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:07:480:07:51

-Good evening.

-Good evening to you.

0:07:550:07:58

-It's unusual for us to work on a Saturday.

-I know.

-Isn't that weird?

0:07:580:08:01

-I know, wow.

-I might take the opportunity now we're on a Saturday.

0:08:010:08:05

People always ask me the same questions so if I can answer them in one go.

0:08:050:08:09

People say, do you really ask your questions of 100 people?

0:08:090:08:12

I don't do it personally, but yes we do.

0:08:120:08:14

Do the people who win get one trophy or two? They win two.

0:08:140:08:18

And what's Alexander Armstrong like? That's the other question they ask.

0:08:180:08:22

Now...

0:08:220:08:25

LAUGHTER

0:08:250:08:26

I'll try and be as honest as I can. I say it very much depends on whether he's had a drink.

0:08:260:08:31

LAUGHTER

0:08:310:08:33

So no more tweets, please, I think I've cleared everything up there.

0:08:330:08:37

-That's fair enough.

-That's fair enough.

0:08:370:08:40

But I think Round One today is one of those questions that drives you a little bit mad.

0:08:400:08:44

Oh, good, good. Thank you very much, Richard.

0:08:440:08:47

All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show,

0:08:470:08:50

but we're looking for the obscure answers that they didn't get.

0:08:500:08:54

To stay in the game all our celebrities need to do is

0:08:540:08:57

score as few points as they possibly can.

0:08:570:08:59

Everyone is trying to find a pointless answer,

0:08:590:09:01

an answer that none of our 100 people gave.

0:09:010:09:05

Each time that happens we'll add £250 to the jackpot.

0:09:050:09:08

As today's show is a celebrity special, our celebrities are playing for a nominated charity.

0:09:080:09:12

We start off with a jackpot of:

0:09:120:09:15

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:09:170:09:20

OK, let's play Pointless.

0:09:230:09:24

In this first round each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.

0:09:310:09:36

Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the first round will be eliminated.

0:09:360:09:41

If anyone gives me an incorrect answer, they'll score the maximum of 100 points.

0:09:410:09:46

OK, our first category is:

0:09:460:09:49

Can you all decide who is going to go first and who is going to go second?

0:09:500:09:55

Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.

0:09:550:09:59

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many countries

0:10:040:10:07

with no repeated letters in their name - oh, Richard!

0:10:070:10:11

No repeated letters in their name - Richard...!

0:10:110:10:14

-Hey, just call me Mr Saturday Night.

-Yeah!

0:10:140:10:18

This is any country in the world

0:10:180:10:20

whose name consists entirely of different letters - for example,

0:10:200:10:24

Sweden we would not allow, as it has two Es in it.

0:10:240:10:27

By country, we mean a member of the UN, that is a sovereign state.

0:10:270:10:32

-Best of luck.

-Thanks very much, Richard.

0:10:320:10:34

You all drew lots before the show, and Christopher and Lesley go first.

0:10:340:10:38

-We're very excited about going first...

-Good.

0:10:380:10:41

..and the country I have chosen is Italy.

0:10:410:10:44

Italy, says Biggins - is that right?

0:10:440:10:46

If so, how many of our 100 people said Italy?

0:10:460:10:50

It's right.

0:10:520:10:54

Oh...yey!

0:10:560:10:59

-Not bad, not bad!

-APPLAUSE

0:10:590:11:02

32 of our 100 people said Italy,

0:11:020:11:06

-which scores you 32!

-Nice start, Biggins.

0:11:060:11:09

I-T-A-L-Y - be looking a long time

0:11:090:11:11

before you found a repeated letter in that name.

0:11:110:11:14

Thank you, Richard. Now, Penny...

0:11:140:11:16

Er, Mali, in Africa.

0:11:160:11:20

Mali. Is it ri...? Is it right?!

0:11:200:11:23

How many people said Mali?

0:11:230:11:26

LAUGHTER

0:11:260:11:29

It is right.

0:11:290:11:30

Down it goes...

0:11:320:11:35

Oh...very well done, Penny! Look at that, 1!

0:11:350:11:38

APPLAUSE

0:11:380:11:41

One person said Mali, that scores you one point. Richard...

0:11:420:11:46

-Very well played, Penny. I've not got much to say in this round.

-No.

0:11:460:11:50

There are no repeated letters in the name Mali. LAUGHTER

0:11:500:11:54

What I also love about Mali is, it's the place where Timbuktu is.

0:11:540:11:59

Another interesting thing about Mali is, it's where Timbuktu is.

0:11:590:12:04

-LAUGHTER

-Thank you. Thank you for that.

0:12:040:12:08

Not a lot of people know that -

0:12:080:12:11

-surprised Penny didn't mention it, but...!

-Michel...

0:12:110:12:15

-Mmm.

-A country with no repeated letters from you, please?

0:12:150:12:19

Erm, let's go for...Cyprus.

0:12:190:12:23

Cyprus. Cyprus, says Michel. Let's see if that's right, and if it is,

0:12:230:12:28

how many of our 100 people said Cyprus.

0:12:280:12:31

It's right.

0:12:330:12:34

Ooh! Very well done, Michel!

0:12:400:12:42

APPLAUSE

0:12:420:12:45

-Three points for Cyprus.

-Very well played, Michel.

0:12:450:12:49

Became independent in 1960. Again, no repeated letters in its name.

0:12:490:12:54

Timbuktu not there.

0:12:540:12:57

LAUGHTER Nicosia, capital of Cyprus.

0:12:570:13:01

Erm, it's in the Mediterranean.

0:13:010:13:02

LAUGHTER

0:13:020:13:04

It's very nice this time of year.

0:13:040:13:07

-Very nice this time of year, Cyprus.

-Mmm...

0:13:070:13:10

-Er, Joe...

-Yeah.

0:13:100:13:12

I was going to do the one that Michel done. I'm going to go with...

0:13:120:13:17

Mexico.

0:13:170:13:19

-Has that got double...? It hasn't, has it?

-Mexico.

0:13:190:13:23

Let's see if it's right, and if so, how many people said Mexico.

0:13:230:13:27

It is right.

0:13:290:13:31

-Biggins, what did you get?

-32.

0:13:310:13:34

Yeah!

0:13:340:13:36

-9 for Joe Swash!

-APPLAUSE

0:13:360:13:40

9 from Mexico, Richard.

0:13:400:13:43

Well played, Joe. Whenever you say any of these countries,

0:13:430:13:46

-there is a doubt in your head - it messes with your head a bit.

-It does.

0:13:460:13:51

You have to think about it.

0:13:510:13:53

I bet there will be some really obvious ones that are pointless.

0:13:530:13:57

No.

0:13:570:13:58

LAUGHTER

0:13:580:14:00

OK, we're halfway through the round, let's take a look at the scores.

0:14:000:14:05

Penny and Jon looking extremely strong.

0:14:050:14:09

-Mali there, Penny.

-Mmm.

0:14:090:14:11

Michel and Monica are on 3, Joe and Kiffy on 9,

0:14:110:14:15

and then 32, where Biggins and Lesley are residing.

0:14:150:14:19

-Ha-ha!

-Now, Lesley, best of luck - can the second celebrities

0:14:190:14:24

please step up to the podium?

0:14:240:14:27

So, we are looking for countries

0:14:270:14:30

with no repeated letters in their name.

0:14:300:14:33

-Kiffy, after that...

-Are we going first?

0:14:330:14:37

Yeah.

0:14:370:14:38

Good luck.

0:14:380:14:40

LAUGHTER

0:14:400:14:42

Thanks to Joe's brilliant answer, you're on 9.

0:14:420:14:45

Lesley and Biggins are on 32, so a score

0:14:450:14:47

of 22 or less would see you through to the next round.

0:14:470:14:51

Ooh, it's a hard one! Erm...

0:14:510:14:54

Norway.

0:14:540:14:56

Now, Kiffy, below that red line, you will have fewer points

0:14:560:15:00

than Biggins and Lesley and you will go through.

0:15:000:15:04

Norway, said Kiffy - is it right, and how many people said it?

0:15:040:15:09

It's right.

0:15:100:15:12

-Go on! Keep going!

-Well done, Kiffy...!

0:15:120:15:15

Yeah, you've done it!

0:15:150:15:18

-17 for Norway, takes you up to 26.

-APPLAUSE

0:15:180:15:22

An interesting fact about Norway -

0:15:220:15:25

no repeated letters in its name. LAUGHTER

0:15:250:15:28

-You're right.

-Try it - one N, one O, one R, one W, one A, one Y.

0:15:280:15:32

-That's how you remember it.

-Got to have a system.

0:15:320:15:35

So, Monica - lovely low score from Michel, you are on 3,

0:15:350:15:39

the high-scorers are still Lesley and Biggins on 32.

0:15:390:15:43

28 or less will see you into the next round.

0:15:430:15:47

-Tonga.

-Tonga.

0:15:470:15:49

Oh, that's a great answer. Let's see if it's right,

0:15:490:15:52

and if so, how many people said it. Tonga...

0:15:520:15:57

Very well done, you're through.

0:16:010:16:04

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Best answer!

0:16:040:16:08

That's a pointless answer, it adds £250 to the jackpot,

0:16:080:16:11

taking the total up to £2,750.

0:16:110:16:15

It scores you nothing, and leaves your total at 3.

0:16:150:16:19

-Tonga.

-Yes, in the South Pacific, not a million miles from Samoa,

0:16:190:16:23

-of course.

-Very well done indeed, Monica. And now, Jon,

0:16:230:16:27

countries with no repeated letters in their name.

0:16:270:16:31

You're on 1, the high-scorers remain Lesley and Biggins, on 32.

0:16:310:16:36

-A score of 30 or less will see you through to the next round.

-Erm,

0:16:360:16:41

let's stay in Africa, which, er... Let's say Chad.

0:16:410:16:45

Mmm! Oh-ho-ho!

0:16:450:16:47

Jon, there is your red line - if you get below that,

0:16:470:16:52

the curtain comes down on Lesley and Biggins.

0:16:520:16:55

-Now, Jon, Chad - is it right...?

-Chad.

0:16:550:16:58

..and if it is, how many people said Chad?

0:16:580:17:01

Oh, it's right.

0:17:020:17:04

You are through!

0:17:060:17:09

Oh, two people said Chad!

0:17:090:17:11

APPLAUSE

0:17:110:17:14

Very well done. That takes your score up to a brilliant total

0:17:140:17:18

of 3 - Chad, Richard...?

0:17:180:17:20

Two brilliant teams on 3.

0:17:200:17:22

Chad is a land-locked country in central Africa.

0:17:220:17:25

It's got a C, an H, an A and a D.

0:17:250:17:29

-And each of them unique.

-Each as unique as the last.

0:17:290:17:32

Lesley - you are on 32, you are the high-scorers,

0:17:320:17:36

so you'll be leaving us at the end of this round.

0:17:360:17:38

You don't need it now, do you?!

0:17:380:17:41

Oh, I do.

0:17:410:17:43

-You could give a pointless answer and add another £250.

-Oh, yes.

0:17:430:17:48

-It won't be. Erm...

-Give us a pointless one.

0:17:480:17:51

Let me tr... Oh, Kenya.

0:17:510:17:55

Kenya - let's see if it's right, and if so, how many people said it.

0:17:550:18:00

It is right.

0:18:000:18:01

Oh, it's a good one, Lesley, look at that!

0:18:040:18:07

Look at that, 4!

0:18:070:18:08

Ah!

0:18:080:18:11

Mwah!

0:18:110:18:13

That takes your total to 36.

0:18:130:18:15

Lesley, if you have to leave us, it's a good way of doing it.

0:18:150:18:19

Kenya, named after Mount Kenya -

0:18:190:18:20

though what Mount Kenya is named after, I do not know.

0:18:200:18:24

Let's look at the pointless answers. We've already had Tonga, from Monica.

0:18:240:18:29

Let's take a look at some more of them.

0:18:290:18:31

Belgium, unbelievably, a pointless answer.

0:18:310:18:35

There's a few more - Brunei, Guinea, Honduras,

0:18:410:18:44

Laos, Slovenia and Tonga - all your pointless answers.

0:18:440:18:47

Now, the most popular answers among our 100 people.

0:18:470:18:51

Look at that, Michel, France have finally won something!

0:18:560:19:01

-Well done if you got any of those at home.

-So, at the end of Round One,

0:19:010:19:06

the losing pair, with the highest score,

0:19:060:19:08

-is Biggins and Lesley!

-Aw!

0:19:080:19:12

But 36 is a very low score.

0:19:120:19:15

-This is quite wrong.

-We've had a lovely time.

-We have.

0:19:150:19:18

-Thank you so much.

-And we've got no shelf space for, er, an award -

0:19:180:19:23

have we, darling? No.

0:19:230:19:25

Lesley, Biggins, brilliant contestants,

0:19:250:19:28

-I'm sorry we say goodbye, but you've been excellent.

-Thank you.

0:19:280:19:33

-APPLAUSE

-But for the remaining three pairs,

0:19:330:19:36

it's now time for Round Two.

0:19:360:19:39

Now, there's only room for two celebrity pairs in our head-to-head,

0:19:440:19:48

so one of the teams will be leaving us at the end of this round.

0:19:480:19:52

The category for Round Two is...

0:19:520:19:55

-What?

-Oh, my goodness.

-I think Lesley Joseph should come back in.

0:19:550:20:00

Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first?

0:20:000:20:05

-Whoever it is, please step up to the podium.

-Go on!

0:20:050:20:09

-OK.

-Our question concerns...

0:20:090:20:14

-Richard...

-Yes, this could be interesting.

0:20:180:20:22

We'll show you the names of six women who went on to become

0:20:220:20:26

a First Lady of the United States - tell us which president they married.

0:20:260:20:31

Obscure answers will get fewer points,

0:20:310:20:34

but incorrect answers will score 100 points.

0:20:340:20:37

12 in all for you to have a go at home. Good luck.

0:20:370:20:40

Best of luck - so, we are looking for the US presidents who married

0:20:400:20:45

these women - and we have...

0:20:450:20:49

Mamie Doud, Jacqueline Lee Bouvier, Martha Dandridge, Nancy Davis,

0:21:020:21:08

Claudia "Ladybird" Taylor and Mary Todd.

0:21:080:21:11

These are our first ladies, you have two pair them with their presidents,

0:21:110:21:16

and find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:21:160:21:19

-Jon. You have pick of the board there.

-OK.

0:21:210:21:25

There's some interesting names there.

0:21:250:21:29

I'll go for Nancy Davis.

0:21:290:21:31

-And who was her president?

-Ronald Reagan.

-Ronald Reagan.

0:21:310:21:34

Nancy Davis, Ronald Reagan, says Jon.

0:21:340:21:37

Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people knew that answer.

0:21:370:21:42

Yes, it's right.

0:21:420:21:43

56.

0:21:450:21:47

56.

0:21:490:21:52

-Richard.

-It's a safe start, and a tough board, I think, that.

0:21:520:21:55

Nancy Davis became Nancy Reagan, of course.

0:21:550:21:58

-Do you know what his nickname for her was?

-No.

0:21:580:22:01

He used to call her "Momma Poo Pants."

0:22:010:22:03

LAUGHTER

0:22:030:22:04

-Really?

-That was his pet name for her, was, "Momma Poo Pants."

0:22:040:22:08

-"Momma Poo Pants."

-Yeah.

-And how did she get that name?

0:22:080:22:11

LAUGHTER

0:22:110:22:13

Was it after the day they got stuck in the car at the safari park?

0:22:130:22:18

Monica, so, we are looking for the US presidents that have been married to these women.

0:22:190:22:23

What are you going to go for, Monica?

0:22:230:22:25

I'm going to go for Jacqueline Lee Bouvier,

0:22:250:22:28

and I think she married President John F Kennedy.

0:22:280:22:32

Thank you very much. Let's see if that's right,

0:22:320:22:35

John F Kennedy for Jacqueline Lee Bouvier.

0:22:350:22:37

Is it right, how many people said it?

0:22:370:22:40

It's absolutely right.

0:22:400:22:42

Oh, down it goes, 46.

0:22:440:22:46

That'll do, that'll do.

0:22:460:22:48

-46, very well done, Monica. Richard.

-It's a surprisingly low scored, that.

0:22:480:22:52

Is it?

0:22:520:22:54

Yeah, Bouvier was her maiden name, also Marge Simpson's maiden name. Marge Bouvier.

0:22:540:22:59

Kiffy, you're the last person to have this board,

0:22:590:23:03

so you can have some fun with it, if you like.

0:23:030:23:07

Let's try Mary Todd, I think.

0:23:070:23:11

-Married to Mr Henry Ford.

-Mr Henry Ford.

0:23:110:23:17

We will see if that's right, Mary Todd,

0:23:170:23:19

was she married to Mr Henry Ford?

0:23:190:23:21

How many people knew that answer if it's right?

0:23:210:23:24

Bad luck Kiffy, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,

0:23:280:23:31

which means you score the maximum of 100 points, I'm sorry.

0:23:310:23:35

-Richard.

-It's so nearly right,

0:23:370:23:39

she didn't marry Henry Ford, and he wasn't a president,

0:23:390:23:42

but other than that, you're covering all bases.

0:23:420:23:46

Genuinely, that's a very tough board. I think you were left with the four hard ones there.

0:23:460:23:50

I suspect a lot of people at home won't have any of these.

0:23:500:23:54

Let's fill them in. Now, let's start with Mary Todd,

0:23:540:23:56

she didn't marry Henry Ford she married Abraham Lincoln.

0:23:560:24:00

She was five foot two, he was six foot four,

0:24:000:24:03

the tallest president ever.

0:24:030:24:04

Claudia "Ladybird" Taylor married Lyndon B Johnson,

0:24:040:24:08

that would have scored 10 points.

0:24:080:24:11

Martha Dandridge married George Washington,

0:24:110:24:13

would have scored you five,

0:24:130:24:15

and Mamie Doud married to Dwight D Eisenhower, six points.

0:24:150:24:18

-So, very well done if you got one of those at home. Very good knowledge.

-Thanks very much.

0:24:180:24:23

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

0:24:230:24:26

Monica and Michel, a lovely low score of 46,

0:24:260:24:29

up to 56, we find Penny and Jon,

0:24:290:24:32

and then up to 100, we find Kiffy and Joe.

0:24:320:24:36

That was a really tough board.

0:24:360:24:38

But Joe, you'll get first dibs on the next board.

0:24:380:24:41

-I'll save it.

-Find a nice obscure answer there,

0:24:410:24:43

maybe that will save you and get you through.

0:24:430:24:46

We're going to come back down the line, can the second players please take their places at the podium.

0:24:460:24:53

OK, we're going to put six more women on the board, and here they come.

0:24:530:24:57

We've got Barbara Pierce, Abigail Smith, Hillary Rodham,

0:24:570:25:01

Elizabeth "Bess" Wallace, Elizabeth "Betty" Bloomer,

0:25:010:25:05

and Michelle Robinson.

0:25:050:25:06

I'll read them all one more time: Barbara Pearce, Abigail Smith,

0:25:060:25:10

Hillary Rodham, Elizabeth "Bess" Wallace,

0:25:100:25:13

Elizabeth "Betty" Bloomer, and Michelle Robinson.

0:25:130:25:16

Now remember, we are looking for the US presidents that

0:25:160:25:19

these women have been married to, and you're trying to find

0:25:190:25:22

the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:25:220:25:25

Joe. It's a new batch, you're high scorers on 100, Joe.

0:25:250:25:28

Yeah, I'm just trying to think of the presidents that you had on the last round.

0:25:280:25:32

Yeah, because they won't be coming back.

0:25:320:25:35

OK, I'm going to go with Betty Bloomer, Elizabeth "Betty" Bloomer,

0:25:350:25:39

she was married to President Nixon.

0:25:390:25:43

-We need a first name Joe, I'm afraid.

-What was his name, Mum?

0:25:430:25:49

I don't know.

0:25:490:25:51

LAUGHTER

0:25:510:25:52

It ain't Burt, or nothing like that, is it?

0:25:540:25:57

LAUGHTER

0:25:570:25:59

Nixon, all right, I'm going to go with, I don't know...

0:26:000:26:06

..John Nixon.

0:26:080:26:09

President John Nixon, let's see if it's right,

0:26:090:26:11

and if it is, how many people said

0:26:110:26:14

Betty Bloomer, President John Nixon.

0:26:140:26:16

His name was Richard Nixon! Weren't it? Richard.

0:26:220:26:25

It was on the end of my tongue, it was.

0:26:250:26:27

Unfortunately that is an incorrect answer,

0:26:270:26:30

which means you will score the maximum of 100 points,

0:26:300:26:33

and that takes your total up, I'm afraid to say, to an unbeatable 200.

0:26:330:26:36

I'm sorry, Joe.

0:26:360:26:38

That's all right. It's partly your fault, as well, Mum.

0:26:380:26:41

I'll say this, Joe, you made the same mistake, in that she's not married to him and he wasn't a president.

0:26:410:26:47

-But I'll go through the correct answers at the end of this part.

-Fantastic.

-OK. Now, Michel.

0:26:470:26:53

Michel, there are our First Ladies, you have to find us

0:26:530:26:57

the most obscure president, to which one of them might have been married.

0:26:570:27:00

The great news is the high scorers are Joe and Kiffy, and they are on 200,

0:27:000:27:04

so you can say whatever you like, even if you get a wrong answer, you are through to the next round.

0:27:040:27:10

So, that takes a bit of the pressure off.

0:27:100:27:12

I'm not going to risk anything because I'm a scaredy-cat,

0:27:120:27:15

I'm going to go for Michelle Robinson, Barack Obama.

0:27:150:27:19

Michel Robinson, Barack Obama.

0:27:190:27:20

Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how me people said

0:27:200:27:23

Michelle Robinson married Barack Obama.

0:27:230:27:26

It's right.

0:27:280:27:31

38.

0:27:310:27:32

38 takes your total up to 84, you are in the head-to-head, Michel.

0:27:350:27:39

-Richard.

-Well played, Michel. She is now Michelle Obama.

0:27:390:27:42

On their first date, he took her to see Do The Right Thing, the Spike Lee movie.

0:27:420:27:47

-Not bad, is it?

-Not bad at all.

0:27:470:27:48

She wasn't sure, but then he's president, you know.

0:27:480:27:52

-You're going to go on a second date, aren't you?

-OK, Penny.

0:27:520:27:55

LAUGHTER

0:27:550:27:57

Here's good news for you,

0:27:570:27:59

you are through to the next round whatever your answer is.

0:27:590:28:02

I'm going to go Betty Bloomer, I'm assuming Betty Ford Clinic,

0:28:020:28:05

Gerald Ford.

0:28:050:28:07

Gerald Ford, for Betty Bloomer.

0:28:070:28:09

There we are, let's see if it's right, and how many people said it.

0:28:090:28:13

It is right.

0:28:130:28:15

6! 6 for Betty Bloomer. Takes your total up to 62.

0:28:190:28:25

Richard.

0:28:280:28:29

Like in a detective novel,

0:28:290:28:31

Penny has cleverly tied up all the wrong answers that the Swashes gave.

0:28:310:28:35

Betty Bloomer wasn't married to Richard Nixon, she was married

0:28:350:28:39

to Ford, and that's Gerald Ford, not Henry Ford from before.

0:28:390:28:42

Let's take a look at the rest of the board, Hillary Rodham,

0:28:420:28:45

obviously became Hillary Rodham Clinton.

0:28:450:28:48

It would have scored you 47. Barbara Pierce became Barbara Bush.

0:28:480:28:53

Married to George Bush Senior. That would have scored you 32.

0:28:530:28:56

Abigail Smith, well done to the three people at home

0:28:560:28:59

who knew that she was married to John Adams.

0:28:590:29:01

Elizabeth "Beth" Wallace is a pointless answer.

0:29:010:29:03

Very well done at home if you said Harry S Truman, she married.

0:29:030:29:06

Bess Truman, best answer on the board.

0:29:060:29:09

Thank you very much, Richard.

0:29:090:29:11

At the end of Round Two, the losing celebrity pair

0:29:110:29:13

with the highest score, I'm sorry, Kiffy and Joe.

0:29:130:29:16

AUDIENCE: Ahh

0:29:160:29:18

-It's all right, it's all right.

-We're used to it.

0:29:180:29:20

-No, we're not used to it!

-That was a really tough round.

0:29:200:29:23

-It's all right, though.

-We've really enjoyed it.

0:29:230:29:26

-We've had a lovely time.

-It's been nothing but fun having you on the show.

0:29:260:29:29

-Thank you for coming and doing it.

-Thanks for inviting us.

-Joe and Kiffy.

0:29:290:29:32

Good luck, good luck.

0:29:320:29:35

But for the remaining two celebrity pairs,

0:29:350:29:38

things are about to get even more exciting now as we enter the head-to-head.

0:29:380:29:43

Well, congratulations Penny and Jon, Monica and Michel.

0:29:480:29:51

You are now only one round away from the final, and a chance

0:29:510:29:54

to play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £2,750.

0:29:540:29:57

APPLAUSE

0:29:570:30:02

Now, obviously only one pair can play for that money,

0:30:020:30:05

to decide who it'll be, you are now going head-to-head.

0:30:050:30:07

For each question you will be shown five options on the board.

0:30:070:30:11

Each pair needs to answer just one of them,

0:30:110:30:13

-but you are now allowed to confer.

-Good.

0:30:130:30:16

All you have to do is score less than the other pair

0:30:160:30:18

and you will win that question.

0:30:180:30:20

The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.

0:30:200:30:23

OK, let's play head-to-head.

0:30:230:30:26

Right, here comes your first question,

0:30:310:30:33

and it concerns actors who have played Sherlock Holmes.

0:30:330:30:39

Actors who've played Sherlock Holmes.

0:30:390:30:41

-Richard.

-Yes, for this question

0:30:410:30:42

we'll show you five pictures of actors playing Sherlock Holmes.

0:30:420:30:45

You've got to find the most obscure of those, please.

0:30:450:30:49

OK. So, let's reveal our five actors who have played Sherlock Holmes.

0:30:490:30:53

Here they come. We have got:

0:30:530:30:56

There we are.

0:31:080:31:09

There are our five actors who have played Sherlock Holmes.

0:31:090:31:12

Now, Penny and Jon, because you have played best throughout

0:31:120:31:15

the show so far, the lowest scores, you get to go first.

0:31:150:31:20

Right. OK. Yes, I believe...

0:31:200:31:23

(DOES IMPRESSION) I was hoping Tom Baker was going to be up there,

0:31:230:31:27

but alas no, not on this occasion.

0:31:270:31:29

Oh, Jon, we haven't used you nearly enough.

0:31:290:31:32

Before you give an answer, do you do either of the MasterChef men? You don't do John Torode?

0:31:320:31:37

Oh, yeah. Greg Wallace. Food does not get tougher than this!

0:31:370:31:40

It's never been so tough.

0:31:400:31:42

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:31:420:31:44

This is tough.

0:31:440:31:46

OK. Right. Now then, Penny and Jon.

0:31:480:31:51

So, they've all played Sherlock, we have to choose one of those.

0:31:520:31:56

The most obscure.

0:31:560:31:57

Obviously, the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:31:570:32:01

-That could be anybody.

-Why don't we vote for A?

-Yes, go on.

0:32:010:32:05

We're just going to go for A. That's it, that's the answer. A.

0:32:050:32:08

You need his name?

0:32:080:32:10

Yes, we also need his name.

0:32:100:32:13

There is an element of general knowledge involved.

0:32:130:32:16

Yes. We liked the answer just: A.

0:32:160:32:19

I'm wondering if that's the most obscure?

0:32:190:32:21

The most obscure is probably B, but who the hell is that?

0:32:210:32:24

It's obviously some sort of child wearing a deerstalker.

0:32:240:32:28

-There must've been a drama called Young Sherlock.

-Oh, I see.

0:32:280:32:32

Yes, maybe. Child Sherlock.

0:32:320:32:34

Or, you can confer amongst yourselves.

0:32:340:32:38

Yes.

0:32:380:32:40

I just think C they know, D they know, E they know, so let's go for A.

0:32:400:32:45

-Very well.

-Is it the right one? Is it what I said earlier?

0:32:450:32:48

Yes, we'll vote for A, Basil Rathbone.

0:32:480:32:50

Basil Rathbone is A, say Penny and Jon.

0:32:500:32:55

Monica and Michel, you can do your talking out loud if you like,

0:32:550:32:59

you can even submit a different answer for A if you think

0:32:590:33:02

Basil Rathbone was wrong.

0:33:020:33:04

-I mean, you go to the movies more than I do.

-No, I don't.

-Yes, you do.

0:33:040:33:08

-I don't.

-Don't argue with me, I'm Chef.

0:33:080:33:10

LAUGHTER

0:33:100:33:11

-Whatever happens, it's your fault.

-We'll go for D then, Michael Caine.

0:33:110:33:20

D, Michael Caine. So we have A, Basil Rathbone, D, Michael Caine.

0:33:200:33:22

Penny and Jon said A was Basil Rathbone, let's see if that's right, and if it is,

0:33:220:33:27

let's see how many of our 100 people knew that answer, Basil Rathbone.

0:33:270:33:31

Yep, it's right.

0:33:320:33:33

That's a great answer. Look at that, 30.

0:33:380:33:40

APPLAUSE

0:33:400:33:42

30 for Basil Rathbone. Well done.

0:33:420:33:44

Monica and Michel have gone for D, Michael Caine.

0:33:440:33:48

Let's see if that's right, and let's see how me people knew that answer.

0:33:480:33:54

It's right.

0:33:540:33:56

OK, so after one question, Penny and Jon are up 1-0. Richard.

0:34:000:34:05

Basil Rathbone's a very good answer. There's two answers that would have beaten it.

0:34:050:34:09

As you can imagine, B would have certainly done.

0:34:090:34:12

B is from the Young Sherlock Holmes, from 1982,

0:34:120:34:14

-and that is Guy Henry. That's a pointless answer.

-That's Guy Henry!

0:34:140:34:17

And if you're at home, thinking,

0:34:170:34:19

"where do I recognise him from?"

0:34:190:34:20

He's in Holby City, plays the director of surgery, Henrik Hansen.

0:34:200:34:24

Now, C, surprisingly low score, that's Benedict Cumberbatch,

0:34:240:34:28

who played him in the current TV series on BBC One.

0:34:280:34:31

Would have scored you 14 points.

0:34:310:34:32

-Wow.

-Basil Rathbone got more than double that.

0:34:320:34:36

And E, it's Robert Downey Jr, he would have scored you 37 points.

0:34:360:34:40

So, Guy Henry, the best answer on that board,

0:34:400:34:42

but Benedict Cumberbatch turns out a surprisingly good answer.

0:34:420:34:47

Thanks so much. Here's your second question.

0:34:470:34:49

Now, Monica and Michel,

0:34:490:34:51

you have two win this question to stay in the running.

0:34:510:34:54

And it concerns

0:34:540:34:56

Elvis Presley.

0:34:560:34:58

-Love Elvis.

-Yeah.

-Elvis Presley, Richard.

0:34:580:35:01

Yeah, we're going to show you five clues to facts about Elvis Presley.

0:35:010:35:04

The most secure fact will you the point.

0:35:040:35:06

OK, so let's reveal our five clues to facts about Elvis.

0:35:060:35:10

And here they come. We've got:

0:35:100:35:13

I'll read those one more time.

0:35:300:35:32

His middle name,

0:35:320:35:33

the UK number one single in 2002 for Elvis vs JXL,

0:35:330:35:36

the mansion he bought in 1957,

0:35:360:35:39

the airport, site of his only visit to the UK in 1960,

0:35:390:35:43

and the woman he married in 1967.

0:35:430:35:45

So, there are five clues to facts about Elvis.

0:35:450:35:48

And obviously you're going to try to find the one that you think

0:35:480:35:51

the fewest of our 100 people would have known.

0:35:510:35:53

Monica and Michel are to go first.

0:35:530:35:58

-I'm thinking the single in 2002, or the mansion.

-Go for it.

0:35:590:36:05

-They're both very obvious.

-Doesn't matter.

0:36:050:36:07

Were going for the number one single in 2002,

0:36:070:36:11

and I think it was A Little Less Conversation.

0:36:110:36:14

Now then, Penny and Jon.

0:36:140:36:15

-OK.

-You can talk us through the board, fill in all the blanks.

0:36:150:36:19

-Well his middle name is Aaron.

-Oh, is that true?

-Yes.

0:36:190:36:23

-Elvis Aaron Presley.

-The mansion he bought is Gracelands.

0:36:230:36:27

The woman he married, Priscilla.

0:36:270:36:29

Go on, Jon.

0:36:290:36:31

I've got a vague recollection that the airport,

0:36:310:36:34

I've got a vague recollection that the airport was Prestwick.

0:36:340:36:38

-Go on then, go for it.

-I think it might have been Prestwick Airport.

0:36:380:36:43

-You're going to say?

-Prestwick.

-That's your answer.

0:36:430:36:46

-Yeah, I'm going to risk it.

-Sorry if it's wrong.

-Oh, it's OK.

0:36:460:36:49

In order that they were given, Monica and Michel said

0:36:490:36:52

A Little Less Conversation was the UK number one single in 2002. Let's see if that's right.

0:36:520:36:56

And if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.

0:36:560:36:59

You have two win this question to remain with us.

0:36:590:37:02

It's right. Very well done, Monica.

0:37:020:37:05

Down it goes.

0:37:050:37:07

Brilliant answer, 21.

0:37:070:37:10

Well done.

0:37:100:37:11

21. That's a great score.

0:37:140:37:16

Jon and Penny have gone out on a massive limb here.

0:37:160:37:20

It's so big, look. It's like a double limb.

0:37:200:37:24

OK, you've said Prestwick Airport was the site

0:37:260:37:30

of his only visit to the UK in 1960. Prestwick Airport. You've just got this from nowhere, haven't you?

0:37:300:37:35

It was just lurking somewhere, and I just decided to go with it.

0:37:350:37:39

OK. Well let's see. If it's right, chances are it will be very low.

0:37:390:37:44

It just has to be right.

0:37:440:37:46

OK, Prestwick, Penny and Jon are saying.

0:37:460:37:48

Is it right, and how many people said it?

0:37:480:37:51

-It is right!

-Well done.

0:37:510:37:54

Oh, you've done it. 10 people knew that.

0:37:560:38:00

Very, very well done, Penny and Jon.

0:38:020:38:06

After only two questions, you are through to the final

0:38:070:38:10

in straight sets, 2-0.

0:38:100:38:11

-Richard.

-Yes, well played, Jon, well played, Monica, too.

0:38:110:38:14

There are actually the best two answers on the board.

0:38:140:38:17

Stopped in Prestwick to refuel on a US Army transport plane from Germany.

0:38:170:38:21

There's an Elvis Presley lounge at Prestwick Airport.

0:38:210:38:24

Let's take a look at the rest now. His middle name, it is Aaron,

0:38:240:38:27

it would have scored you a fairly hefty 47 points.

0:38:270:38:30

Again, Monica, you were right to go for A Little Less Conversation.

0:38:300:38:33

The mansion he bought was Graceland, but would have scored you 62.

0:38:330:38:36

And the woman he married in 1967, Priscilla. Of course.

0:38:360:38:40

That would have scored 52.

0:38:400:38:41

Very well done if you got all five of those at home.

0:38:410:38:44

Thanks very much, Richard.

0:38:440:38:46

So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid, Monica and Michel.

0:38:460:38:50

Well. That was tough, the Sherlock Holmes one.

0:38:500:38:54

-Why didn't we have French actors?

-Because, Michel, we're in London.

0:38:540:38:59

LAUGHTER

0:38:590:39:00

And, Michel, they would all be Gerard Depardieu.

0:39:000:39:02

And also, have you seen Michel, Sherlock Holmes?

0:39:020:39:05

-It wasn't Guy Henry, it was (PRONOUNCED FRENCH) Guy Henrie.

-Ah, yeah. OK.

0:39:050:39:09

But Monica and Michel,

0:39:110:39:12

you have been brilliant. It's been lovely having you on the show.

0:39:120:39:16

Thank you so much for playing, Monica and Michel.

0:39:160:39:18

APPLAUSE

0:39:180:39:20

But for Penny and Jon it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:39:200:39:24

Congratulations, Penny and Jon, you fought off all the competition

0:39:290:39:32

and won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:39:320:39:35

Oh, that's excellent. I've never won anything. That's great.

0:39:410:39:45

You now have the chance to win the Pointless jackpot

0:39:450:39:48

for your nominated charity.

0:39:480:39:50

At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,750.

0:39:500:39:55

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:39:550:39:57

There we are. Now, you have played an exemplary Pointless.

0:40:000:40:04

Lovely low score in the first round.

0:40:040:40:06

The second round we'll slightly discount,

0:40:060:40:09

given the high scores of the Swash contingent.

0:40:090:40:11

But then in the head-to-head, straight sets. Beautifully done.

0:40:110:40:16

-Excellent backhand.

-Prestwick.

-Prestwick, just lurking.

0:40:160:40:19

That's how it works.

0:40:190:40:21

It's always the answers people go, "Oh, hang on, oh."

0:40:210:40:24

-It's back there.

-Yes, it's exactly there.

0:40:240:40:26

Yes, but usually goes there, and in my head, anyway,

0:40:260:40:29

it goes off for a walk, has a sit-down,

0:40:290:40:32

by the time it's popped in again it's changed shape.

0:40:320:40:35

Yeah. That's what you need for this round.

0:40:350:40:39

You have to find the answers back here. OK, the rules for this bit are very simple.

0:40:390:40:43

To win, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.

0:40:430:40:46

We've had one pointless answer on the show today, and you have to find one more.

0:40:460:40:49

You have three chances to find that pointless answer,

0:40:490:40:52

if you do, you will go home with the money for your nominated charity.

0:40:520:40:57

Firstly, you've got to pick a category, and you can choose from these five options. They are -

0:40:570:41:02

TV, modern dramatists, music awards, horse racing, film.

0:41:020:41:08

For me, I can discount horseracing, or anything to do with music awards.

0:41:100:41:14

Modern dramatists, I don't know. It's one of those difficult things.

0:41:140:41:18

Shall we go for TV? Something we both vaguely know a bit of.

0:41:180:41:21

Oh, but I'm rubbish at TV. No, I watch the most peculiar things.

0:41:210:41:27

LAUGHTER

0:41:270:41:29

We could go for film.

0:41:320:41:35

-What, are you not very good at film?

-I don't know. I'm not too bad.

0:41:350:41:40

You see, if it's obscure TV. I could do things like Danish thrillers.

0:41:400:41:46

-I'm going to press you for a decision.

-OK then, let's go for TV.

0:41:460:41:50

-Let's try TV.

-TV.

-OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.

0:41:500:41:55

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Top Gear

0:41:550:41:59

Stars In A Reasonably Priced Car as they could. Richard.

0:41:590:42:04

We're looking for any person who's taken part in Top Gear's

0:42:040:42:07

Star In A Reasonably Priced Car

0:42:070:42:10

right up to the end of series 17 in July 2011, please.

0:42:100:42:13

We're not looking for any of the Formula 1 drivers who've done it, or the regular hosts of the show.

0:42:130:42:17

Just any of those celebrities who have taken part

0:42:170:42:21

in that part of the show.

0:42:210:42:23

OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.

0:42:230:42:26

All you need to win that £2,750 for your nominated charity

0:42:260:42:29

-is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?

-OK.

0:42:290:42:33

OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.

0:42:330:42:37

Your time starts now.

0:42:370:42:38

-OK. Well, there was Helen Mirren.

-Trevor Eve.

-Yes.

0:42:380:42:43

Jay Leno. David Tennant.

0:42:430:42:45

-I don't watch Top Gear.

-Jonathan Ross certainly has.

0:42:450:42:48

A good one, I think we should go with is the musician Seasick Steve.

0:42:480:42:52

-Who on earth? Let's do that.

-He plays the three string guitar.

0:42:520:42:56

-Excellent. Good, I like that.

-He did it.

0:42:560:42:58

It's either that, or the Hungry Caterpillar. Either one will do.

0:42:580:43:01

Rowan Atkinson did a brilliant job in it.

0:43:010:43:04

-We know that he's a petrol head, though.

-Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise.

0:43:040:43:09

People will remember those big favourite stars.

0:43:090:43:11

Steve Coogan has done it.

0:43:110:43:14

Got to go with Seasick Steve.

0:43:160:43:18

Benedict Cumberbatch has properly done it,

0:43:180:43:21

as has probably Guy Henry,

0:43:210:43:22

and possibly Basil Rathbone wouldn't have done it.

0:43:220:43:25

-Boutros Boutros-Ghali.

-Yes.

-Robert Downey Jr almost certainly.

0:43:250:43:30

I like your one with the three stringed guitar.

0:43:300:43:33

Are you sure he did that? Is that how he's pronounced as a name?

0:43:330:43:36

Seasick Steve.

0:43:360:43:38

OK, your minute is up. There we are.

0:43:390:43:42

We were looking for Top Gear Stars In A Reasonably Priced Car.

0:43:420:43:45

I now need your three answers.

0:43:450:43:47

-OK, well that one.

-We will have Seasick Steve.

-Yup.

0:43:470:43:51

-Trevor Eve and Helen Mirren.

-Helen Mirren. OK, there are your answers.

0:43:510:43:55

-Which is your best shot at pointless answer?

-That one.

0:43:550:43:58

-I think we know.

-Seasick Steve. God bless him.

-And, your least likely?

0:43:580:44:03

-Let's try Trevor Eve.

-Let's try Trevor Eve.

0:44:030:44:06

We'll put Trevor Eve first, Seasick Steve last,

0:44:060:44:09

and Helen Mirren wedged between.

0:44:090:44:12

Yes. Sandwiched.

0:44:120:44:13

Sandwiched. OK, let's put them up on the board in that order.

0:44:130:44:19

Here they are. We've got Trevor Eve, Helen Mirren and Seasick Steve.

0:44:190:44:23

We were looking for Top Gear Stars In A Reasonably Priced Car. Trevor Eve was your least confident answer.

0:44:230:44:29

You only need to find one pointless answer, remember,

0:44:290:44:32

to win that jackpot of £2,750.

0:44:320:44:34

OK, let's see if Trevor Eve is right.

0:44:340:44:39

You're pretty sure you've seen him. Trevor Eve.

0:44:390:44:41

How many people said Trevor Eve?

0:44:410:44:43

Has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.

0:44:430:44:46

Yep, it's right. Trevor Eve has done it.

0:44:480:44:51

Now, if nobody remembers Trevor Eve,

0:44:510:44:53

you will leave here immediately with £2,750.

0:44:530:44:55

It's still going down.

0:44:550:44:57

Still in single figures, still going,

0:44:570:44:59

look at that! One!

0:44:590:45:00

-Who was that person?

-One.

-Who could have done that?

-Trevor Eve.

0:45:000:45:07

Unfortunately, not pointless.

0:45:070:45:09

You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.

0:45:090:45:13

Now then, what are your nominated charities? Penny.

0:45:130:45:18

-Cri Du Chat Syndrome Support Group.

-What's it called?

0:45:180:45:22

Cri du chat syndrome, it's a chromosomal deficiency,

0:45:220:45:28

and this is a very small support group,

0:45:280:45:30

because it's quite rare, and it helps for research,

0:45:300:45:33

and also respite for the parents, usually, or the carers.

0:45:330:45:37

Mine is a fairly new charity called Trekstock,

0:45:370:45:40

and it supports young people with cancer.

0:45:400:45:44

Very good.

0:45:440:45:45

Well, very, very best of luck to the pair of you. £2,750.

0:45:450:45:50

All riding on these next two answers.

0:45:500:45:54

We are looking for Top Gear Stars In A Reasonably Priced Car.

0:45:540:45:57

Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Helen Mirren.

0:45:570:46:00

This has to be right, and pointless.

0:46:000:46:02

If it's both these things, you'll leave with £2,750 for your charities.

0:46:020:46:06

How people said Helen Mirren? Is it correct?

0:46:060:46:09

OK. Well, Trevor Eve took us all the way down to one, the tease.

0:46:110:46:16

Helen Mirren, if she goes all the way down to pointless

0:46:160:46:19

you leave here with £2,750.

0:46:190:46:20

Single figures, down it goes. Still going down.

0:46:200:46:22

Yes! You've done it!

0:46:220:46:24

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:46:240:46:27

Well done. Wow. I didn't know she'd even done it. Brilliant.

0:46:310:46:36

-How could anyone forget Helen Mirren?

-Congratulations.

0:46:390:46:42

Helen Mirren was a pointless answer.

0:46:420:46:46

That means you win the jackpot of £2,750 for your charity.

0:46:460:46:50

Well done. Well done.

0:46:510:46:55

Very, very well done, indeed. So, Richard. How about that?

0:46:560:47:00

-Helen Mirren.

-Brilliant. Very well played.

0:47:000:47:02

Very well played throughout, as well.

0:47:020:47:04

And Seasick Steve, also a pointless answer.

0:47:040:47:06

Well done, you. Well done, you. Both pointless answers.

0:47:060:47:11

I thought he might have been a kind of rapper thing.

0:47:130:47:16

I thought it was C-6 Steve, you see. That's what I thought.

0:47:160:47:21

-That's not a bad idea.

-It's not, though.

0:47:210:47:23

I just remember Seasick Steve's lap, because his commentary was so funny.

0:47:230:47:28

And Helen Mirren is one of those names you always see on the board.

0:47:280:47:31

Most people were slower than she was.

0:47:310:47:34

-Was she speedy?

-Oh, she was good, yeah.

-Speedy bird.

0:47:340:47:38

If you'd said Steve Coogan, you would have got a hat-trick of pointless answers.

0:47:380:47:43

Lots of pointless answers - Davina McCall, Geri Halliwell,

0:47:430:47:45

Usain Bolt, Sir Tim Rice, Rob Brydon. I'll show you a few more.

0:47:450:47:49

See if you got any of these at home.

0:47:490:47:52

Billie Piper, pointless. Boris Becker, Christopher Ecclestone.

0:47:520:47:57

Eric Bana, Guy Ritchie, James Cordon, pointless, he won't like that!

0:47:570:48:01

Joanna Lumley, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Ray Winstone.

0:48:010:48:04

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

0:48:040:48:08

-Two pointless answers.

-Well, thanks again to our winning celebrities,

0:48:080:48:12

Penny and Jon, who go away with today's jackpot of £2,750.

0:48:120:48:16

APPLAUSE

0:48:160:48:17

And a massive thank you to our other celebrity pairs,

0:48:200:48:23

Biggins and Lesley, Kiffy and Joe, Monica and Michel.

0:48:230:48:25

Join us next time, when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test.

0:48:250:48:29

-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

0:48:290:48:31

And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
