0:00:26 > 0:00:29Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:29 > 0:00:35and welcome to a celebrity edition of Pointless, the quiz show for obscure knowledge.
0:00:35 > 0:00:41Every single question has been asked to 100 people and to be in with a chance of winning our jackpot,
0:00:41 > 0:00:45our celebrities need the answers those 100 people couldn't think of.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Let's meet our Pointless celebrities.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57First up, we welcome Chris Packham and Bill Oddie!
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Welcome.
0:01:01 > 0:01:09Welcome. You are two of the country's foremost naturalists. I always get it... It is naturalist?
0:01:09 > 0:01:11I wondered what he was going to say!
0:01:11 > 0:01:17- That means animals, not naked? - You can have naked animals and most of them are, in fact.
0:01:17 > 0:01:25Welcome to the show. One thing you have sewn up is wildlife, nature, natural sciences.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- Well, we would hope so.- So would I!
0:01:27 > 0:01:33- How long have you known each other? - Ooh, it's... Do you remember? - A long time.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38- Bill approached me while I was in the bushes one day.- Was he naked?
0:01:38 > 0:01:44Do you have any other little weird specialist areas that you and only you know about?
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Poodles, I suppose.- Poodles.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53- How much is there to know about poodles?- Don't get him going, Bill!
0:01:53 > 0:02:00- No, sorry!- Initially a German water spaniel taken up in the French court in miniaturised form
0:02:00 > 0:02:07through the time of Marie Antoinette, the miniature poodle came at the turn of the century...
0:02:07 > 0:02:12- OK, I'm going to stop you there, Chris.- Thank God for that! - Very good indeed.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17Welcome to the show. Lovely to have you here - Chris and Bill!
0:02:22 > 0:02:27And next we welcome Brian Blessed and Rosalind Blessed!
0:02:27 > 0:02:29CHEERING
0:02:29 > 0:02:34- Well, now...- I'm the one who said, "Gordon's alive!"
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Is that going to be one of the films, Alexander?
0:02:39 > 0:02:44- I'll be so upset if it's not. - Are we allowed to cheat at all?
0:02:44 > 0:02:49- It's not encouraged, Brian. Rosalind, hello.- Hello! Hi!
0:02:49 > 0:02:55- We'll try to get as much of a conversation as we can.- Try your best. Don't hold your breath.
0:02:55 > 0:03:01- Father and daughter, both actors. - Yes, yes.- Brian, it will take up the whole programme
0:03:01 > 0:03:06- if I ask about all your famous roles.- There's no end to my talents!
0:03:06 > 0:03:09What's fascinating is your hobbies.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14Yes, I have this curious mix these days. I'm explorer/mountaineer
0:03:14 > 0:03:18and the actor. The exploring has taken over.
0:03:18 > 0:03:24It's a great world out there. I just completed training in Moscow at Space City
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- for the International Space Station. - Good lord!
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Wow.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- He's so dull.- Rosalind, if you were to close your eyes...
0:03:35 > 0:03:40- AS BRIAN: - Do I sound a bit like your father?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44APPLAUSE
0:03:46 > 0:03:51I like to think I do the best Brian Blessed impression around!
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Absolutely marvellous!- Whoo! - There we go.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Marvellous!
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Oh...
0:03:58 > 0:04:03There we are. Lovely to have you both here. A very warm welcome.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Brian and Rosalind Blessed, everyone!
0:04:09 > 0:04:14And next we welcome Ben-Ryan Davies and Georgia Henshaw!
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Many people will know you from the BBC drama Waterloo Road,
0:04:21 > 0:04:28but you've appeared in plenty of other dramas. What do you hope will come up this afternoon? Georgia?
0:04:28 > 0:04:33- I really like volcanoes, but I don't know much about them.- Ah.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Yeah, yeah. Yup.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- I like criminal psychology. - Do you know much about it?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Not really.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- I'm looking to this one for my answers, really.- Brilliant(!)
0:04:47 > 0:04:53Ben, what's going to be your area? How are you going to dazzle us?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56I like film, but don't know much about it!
0:04:56 > 0:05:02No, but I'm all right. I get by. I'm on the pub quiz machine all the time. I spend loads on that.
0:05:02 > 0:05:09Listen, very best of luck. Lovely to have you here. Ben and Georgia!
0:05:10 > 0:05:15And finally we've got Anthea Turner and Claire Sweeney!
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Well, you're both very well known as TV presenters,
0:05:23 > 0:05:30but Anthea, you did Blue Peter, which is probably the best training for Pointless there could be.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- I was hoping! But I'm not so sure now.- No, you're going to walk it.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39We've seen it happen before. We've had several ex-Blue Peter presenters
0:05:39 > 0:05:43and they have just... Out in the first round.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44But...
0:05:44 > 0:05:51- And Claire, you're now a doyenne - can I use that word? - of the West End.- I like that word.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56- What does it mean?!- You're great friends. How did you first meet?
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Actually, Anthea interviewed me when I was in Brookside, on GMTV,
0:06:00 > 0:06:05and then we woke up in bed together one morning - Celebrity Big Brother.
0:06:05 > 0:06:13- Good interview!- 11 years ago. - The first Celebrity Big Brother. I don't think you were born.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18No, we are the only team who went into the Big Brother house
0:06:18 > 0:06:24- and left it cleaner than when we arrived.- Wow. Something tells me you had quite a hand in that, Anthea.
0:06:24 > 0:06:31- I was cleaning, Claire was making cups of tea.- Well, welcome. Lovely to have you here. Anthea and Claire!
0:06:33 > 0:06:39We look forward to discovering all your hidden knowledge throughout the show.
0:06:39 > 0:06:45There's only one person left to introduce. Recently voted Heat magazine's Weird Crush of the Year!
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- Nothing weird about that. He's my Pointless friend, Richard.- Hiya.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Hello.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57- Hello there.- Well, good evening. - This is fun, isn't it?- Isn't it?
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- Pointless on a Saturday evening. - I know.- Can you believe it?- Never.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06We know quite a lot about our four pairs. Normally they're strangers.
0:07:06 > 0:07:13But we know some of their specialities. So I've tried to come up with categories that are fair
0:07:13 > 0:07:19and I hope I've succeeded. Round One is badgers, Round Two is owls. I hope that's OK for everybody.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- CLAIRE:- I think we'll leave now.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27We'll look forward to those, Richard.
0:07:27 > 0:07:33All our questions have been put to 100 people, but we want the obscure answers they couldn't get.
0:07:33 > 0:07:39For a chance of winning our jackpot, our celebrities must score as few points as they possibly can.
0:07:39 > 0:07:45Everyone tries to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people knew. Every time that happens,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:07:48 > 0:07:54As today's show is a celebrity special and each celebrity is playing for a nominated charity,
0:07:54 > 0:07:58we start with a jackpot of... £2,500.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Wow.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Right. Let's play Pointless.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18In this first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer.
0:08:18 > 0:08:24The pair with the highest score is eliminated. An incorrect answer will score 100 points,
0:08:24 > 0:08:27so avoid those if you can.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32OK, our first category this afternoon is... TV talent shows.
0:08:32 > 0:08:39TV talent shows. Can you all decide who is going to go first and who's going to go second?
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:08:44 > 0:08:52We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many 2011 Strictly Come Dancing dancers
0:08:52 > 0:08:58- as they could. Richard?- We're looking for any of the celebrity participants or professional dancers
0:08:58 > 0:09:06in the 2011 series of Strictly, please. First names and surnames, unless they're known by one name.
0:09:06 > 0:09:13Thank you very much. Chris and Bill, you all drew lots before the show and you get to go first.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17I only know one participant, so it has to be the answer I give.
0:09:17 > 0:09:23- And I only know that because it was the footballer Robbie Savage. - OK, nothing wrong with that.
0:09:23 > 0:09:30Robbie Savage, says Chris. Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34It's correct.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37It's not bad.
0:09:38 > 0:09:4015!
0:09:40 > 0:09:42APPLAUSE
0:09:42 > 0:09:47- 15 of our 100 people said Robbie Savage, so you score 15. - Good start.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- That's a relief, isn't it? - A massive relief.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56The combative midfielder, who did very well. He got to Week 10.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01- Very good. Now, Rosalind, did you watch it at all?- No.
0:10:01 > 0:10:07- It's hard not to follow it, though. You must have heard about it. - Not much, I must admit,
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- but I think I do remember... - #- Jason Donovan?- #
0:10:11 > 0:10:16You sang that beautifully! He should have that as a ringtone.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- #- Jason Donovan!- # - "Sorry, this is for me."
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- LAUGHTER - Beautiful.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30OK, Jason Donovan. Is it correct and how many of our 100 people said Jason Donovan?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35It's correct.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- 34!- Ooh! Could be worse!
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Could have been a lot worse!
0:10:42 > 0:10:46- Not a bad score at all. Jason Donovan.- Well played.
0:10:46 > 0:10:52That's two who have said, "No, I never watch it," and both came up with perfectly good answers.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- Somebody's not telling the truth. - Mm-mm. Georgia...
0:10:56 > 0:10:59This is your chance to dazzle.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04I watched a few as my mate was in it, but she was so awesome,
0:11:04 > 0:11:07so everyone would know her.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10I'm going to go for Russell Grant.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Russell Grant.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- Yeah.- OK.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- It's right.- Yes!
0:11:26 > 0:11:2829!
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- Yes!- That'll do!
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Very good.- That's all right.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37- Russell Grant.- Yes. He was fired out of a cannon.
0:11:37 > 0:11:43So then, Claire, we're looking for dancers that took part in the 2011 Strictly Come Dancing.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- OK, I'm going to go for...Lulu. - Lulu, says Claire.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Let's see if that's right and how many said it.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55It's right.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- 44!- Ah!
0:11:59 > 0:12:04- It's not over yet, Claire.- OK. - I think that's really unlucky.
0:12:04 > 0:12:11- That's the biggest score so far. More than Russell Grant or Jason Donovan.- Who knew?
0:12:11 > 0:12:17Let's take a quick look at the scores. Who would have thought which pair would be the lowest?
0:12:17 > 0:12:21It's only the naturalists!
0:12:21 > 0:12:27Chris and Bill, 15. Look at that. And then we creep up to 29, where we find Georgia and Ben.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32Then up to 34, where we find Brian and Rosalind,
0:12:32 > 0:12:36and then 44 where Claire and Anthea are currently residing.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Anthea, you'll need a really good obscure answer to save your skins.
0:12:41 > 0:12:47Very best of luck with that. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:12:48 > 0:12:54OK. We are looking for Strictly Come Dancing 2011 dancers.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58The high scorers are Anthea and Claire on 44,
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- but that's all about to change. Anthea...- Anita Dobson.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07Anita Dobson, says Anthea. Is it right and how many people said it?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11It's correct.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Oh, down it goes. 13 - look at that!
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- Anthea, the best score so far. - That's good! Well done!
0:13:23 > 0:13:28- Takes your total up to 57.- Very well played. Puts you right back in it.
0:13:28 > 0:13:35I'm just enjoying looking at Brian and Bill's faces. Reading the inscrutability of two men
0:13:35 > 0:13:41just going through all the professional dancers thinking, "Who would be the lower scorer?"
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- I don't know any of them! - Ben, you're on 29.
0:13:44 > 0:13:50The high scorers are on 57. If you can score 27 or less, you're through to the next round.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55Well, I know three names so I'm not sure which one to go for,
0:13:55 > 0:14:00but I'm going to go for... Anton du Beke.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05Anton du Beke. There's your red line. Ben, below that red line
0:14:05 > 0:14:09you'll have scored less than Anthea and Claire and you'll be through.
0:14:09 > 0:14:17Above that, anything could happen. OK, Anton du Beke. Is that right and how many people said it?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Well, it's right.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28You're through! 22! Very well done!
0:14:28 > 0:14:3322 takes your total up to 51. You are in the next round.
0:14:33 > 0:14:39- Richard?- Well played, Ben. I Look forward to that celebration being repeated by the other teams.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43- I wasn't expecting it! - He's one of the professionals.
0:14:43 > 0:14:50- Now then, Brian...- Yes. - You're on 34. The high scorers are still Anthea and Claire on 57.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54This means 22 or less will see you into the next round.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58We're looking for dancers in the 2011 Strictly Come Dancing.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- Brian, come on.- It's not fair.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- No.- No.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09- Oh, Brian, you must know... - I can do it, can't I?- You can do it.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14- I'll dig into my psyche.- Dig. - Audley Harrison.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21Let's see if Audley Harrison is correct and how many said it.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24It's right!
0:15:24 > 0:15:26It's right.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- And you are through! Very well done!- Yes, I did it!
0:15:35 > 0:15:3712 points!
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- You didn't even dig that deep. - I didn't have to dig that deep.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- No.- I'm afraid I watched it all.
0:15:47 > 0:15:53- Cos I knew I'd be on this. - Very good. Well done. That's our best score so far.
0:15:53 > 0:15:5712 for Audley Harrison takes your total up to 46. Very well done.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02That's some acting right there. You looked in such pain.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07- I was!- You looked like a man without a television.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12- Now then, Bill.- Yeah(!) - The high scorers are on 57.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16- You are on 15. If you can score 41 or less...- OK.- ..you are through.
0:16:16 > 0:16:21The irony of this is I was asked to do Strictly,
0:16:21 > 0:16:27so if I'd said yes, which I didn't, I could have just said, "I was on it!"
0:16:27 > 0:16:32If you had done it, you wouldn't be here. You'd be on tour.
0:16:32 > 0:16:38I wouldn't. I'd be on crutches! And that's for sure! Em, OK...
0:16:38 > 0:16:43We've got two choices here, I think. Holly Valance.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45How many people said Holly Valance?
0:16:46 > 0:16:48It's right.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53You've done it! 26!
0:16:54 > 0:16:5926, Bill. Takes your total up to 41. Very well done. Richard?
0:16:59 > 0:17:06Can I say genuinely what an absolute disgrace Bill, Brian and Chris all are?
0:17:06 > 0:17:12All three of you. Absolute disgrace. Poor old Anthea and Claire admitted to watching it
0:17:12 > 0:17:17- and they got knocked out! - That's Pointless!
0:17:17 > 0:17:24Funnily enough, Ben-Ryan and Georgia, you avoided saying your mate Chelsee Healey.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- She'd have only scored you four. - You're joking?!- Best answer.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32I think everybody knows Chelsee, but perhaps not the surname.
0:17:32 > 0:17:38Let's look at the pointless answers. Flavia Cacace, she danced with Russell Grant. Pointless answer.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Pasha Kovalev, he danced with Chelsee.
0:17:42 > 0:17:47And Robin Windsor, who danced with Anita Dobson. All pointless.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Let's look at the top scorers.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Some will be familiar. Edwina Currie scored 33.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Jason Donovan, 34. Rosalind said it.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- And, Claire, Lulu was the most popular of all.- The top answer!
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Wow. Well, thank you, Richard.
0:18:04 > 0:18:10So at the end of Round One, the losing pair with the highest score is Anthea and Claire!
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- Oh, never mind! Can we sit in the audience and watch it?- Yes!
0:18:14 > 0:18:20- We're really enjoying it...now! - I really thought you'd be the best in this round.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24I got very excited when I saw TV talent shows.
0:18:24 > 0:18:30- On a normal Pointless, I'd know I'd see you next time. - I know. Never mind.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- This is it.- OK, well, listen, thank you so much for playing.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Anthea and Claire, wonderful.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46But for the remaining three celebrity pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:51 > 0:18:58There's only room for two pairs in the Head to Head, so one team leaves at the end of this round.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03Our category for Round Two is... food and drink.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- Oh, no(!)- Food and drink.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Can you all decide who is going to go first and who will go second?
0:19:11 > 0:19:16And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:19:17 > 0:19:24OK. Our second round question concerns... food and drink in French.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Food and drink in French. Richard?
0:19:28 > 0:19:34We'll give you six words in French. We need the English that corresponds to that. Give us an obscure answer,
0:19:34 > 0:19:38you'll score fewer points. An incorrect answer scores 100.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41There will be 12 to have a go at.
0:19:41 > 0:19:47Thanks, Richard. So food and drink in French. You have to translate it into English. And we have got...
0:19:47 > 0:19:49HE READS THE LIST
0:19:57 > 0:20:00I'll read those again.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09There are your six. I have to remind you not to confer!
0:20:09 > 0:20:14- We're not conferring!- He wants to go first.- The decision is made.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Oh, look at that tyrant!
0:20:16 > 0:20:18LAUGHTER
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Mean bully! After all we've been through.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28I'm afraid you made the decision when you forced Rosalind up front.
0:20:28 > 0:20:33Bill, you are first up there. What do you think of that board?
0:20:33 > 0:20:39I think some of it's just fine and some of it means absolutely nothing to me.
0:20:39 > 0:20:46- I'm going to say miel. And then you want to know what it is. It is honey.- Honey, says Bill.
0:20:46 > 0:20:51Let's see if that's right and how many said miel, honey.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54It's right.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Wow. Down it goes. Look at that - 24.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Not a bad score at all, Bill. 24 for miel, honey.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10Well done, Bill. Good answer. And honeymoon is lune de miel.
0:21:10 > 0:21:16- They've just nicked that from us. - They did. We've nicked some words from them, to be fair.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- Biscuit.- Yeah, I guess.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21That's the only one.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Thanks very much, Richard. Rosalind...
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Em...
0:21:26 > 0:21:29I'm going to go with oeuf.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34- Egg.- Oeuf, egg, says Rosalind. Let's see if that's right
0:21:34 > 0:21:37and how many people knew that.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41It's right.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Oh! 64 of our 100 knew that.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Still done with a smile on your face, Brian. Nice to see.
0:21:55 > 0:22:01At least it's the right answer. Some people say it's where love comes from in tennis. L'oeuf.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- It looks like a zero.- Le oeuf.
0:22:03 > 0:22:09Now then, Ben, we're looking for the English names of these food and drink items.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14- You can fill in all the blanks if you like.- Is it "poiver"?
0:22:14 > 0:22:20- Whatever you want it to be. - It doesn't matter. I don't have a clue!
0:22:20 > 0:22:24I'll go for chicken. ..Come on!
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- LAUGHTER - OK.- Give us a chance!
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- It does come before the egg. - LAUGHTER
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Poivre.
0:22:37 > 0:22:43OK, you're going to say chicken. Let's see if poivre is chicken and how many people knew that.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Bad luck, Ben.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Unfortunately, an incorrect answer so you score a maximum 100 points.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- Sorry. Richard... - Not chicken. It's pepper.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01- Pepper?!- Do not go to Kentucky Fried Poivre in France.
0:23:01 > 0:23:07- Let's go through the rest. Escargot, Alexander? - Snail.- Absolutely right.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11But that would have scored you 82 points.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16- Pamplemousse, one of the world's great words...- Why not adopt it?
0:23:16 > 0:23:23- It's better than grapefruit. - It's misleading. Pamplemousse sounds lovely and grapefruit is...meh.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24LAUGHTER
0:23:24 > 0:23:30So let's stick with grapefruit. Grapefruit also slightly oversells it.
0:23:30 > 0:23:35- Grape - mmm! Fruit - mmm! Grapefruit...- Less so.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40- And Barbe a Papa. Know that? - Candyfloss.- It is. Best answer.
0:23:40 > 0:23:45- Well done if you said that. - Candyfloss - mmm! Daddy's Beard?
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Eeew!
0:23:49 > 0:23:53OK, halfway through. Let's look at those scores.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Bill and Chris, very strong on 24.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Up to 64 and Rosalind and Brian.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04And then up to 100 for Ben and Georgia. Georgia, on the next pass,
0:24:04 > 0:24:09you've got to score as low as you possibly can and hope that's enough. Best of luck.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:24:15 > 0:24:20OK, we're going to put six more French foods or drinks on the board.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- Here they are. We have got... - HE READS THE LIST
0:24:26 > 0:24:30- Cuisses de Grenouilles! - LAUGHTER
0:24:32 > 0:24:34READS LIST AGAIN
0:24:41 > 0:24:45That's my favourite word in any language, anywhere in the world.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Grenouilles!
0:24:47 > 0:24:53OK, remember, we are looking for the English translations of these food or drink items.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57You want the one fewest people knew.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02- Georgia, you're the high scorers. - Pomme de terre rings a bell,
0:25:02 > 0:25:06- but I don't really know what it is. - LAUGHTER
0:25:07 > 0:25:12- Vin. Is that wine? - You're going to say vin, wine?- Yeah.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Is it right? How many people said vin, wine?
0:25:17 > 0:25:22It's ri... It's ri... It's right.
0:25:22 > 0:25:28- It's right, but sadly 95 people knew that one. - At least I got it right!
0:25:28 > 0:25:35- She got it right, yeah. - That takes your total to 195. - I think we're in with a chance.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40You won the battle of Waterloo Road. You won it by a clear five points as well.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Yeah, vin.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44It's wine.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49- Brian.- Oh, I don't know any French! - Listen, here's the good news.
0:25:49 > 0:25:55Georgia and Ben - this is sad, but they will be leaving us because they are so far ahead
0:25:55 > 0:25:59that even if you score 100 points you will not overtake them.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04We're looking for the English names of these items of French food.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Champignon. Er, mushrooms.
0:26:06 > 0:26:13Let's see if that's right and how many said it. No red line. Champignon, mushroom.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16It's right.
0:26:18 > 0:26:2054!
0:26:20 > 0:26:25Very well done, indeed. 118 is your score.
0:26:25 > 0:26:31- Richard...- Very well done, Brian. Absolutely right. Your daughter was delighted.- Yes.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35I feel bad. I got an A in French. He did better than me.
0:26:35 > 0:26:40Chris, you don't need me to tell you what your score is, but dazzle us.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45- Fill in all the blanks.- OK. Riz is rice, cuisses de Grenouilles is frogs' legs,
0:26:45 > 0:26:51- pomme de terre is potato. I'll go for thon, which is tuna. - Let's see if that's right
0:26:51 > 0:26:54and how many said thon, tuna.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57It's right.
0:27:01 > 0:27:0315!
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Really not bad at all. Your total is 39.
0:27:06 > 0:27:12The best total by a margin. 39. Thon, tuna.
0:27:12 > 0:27:18You took us through the board perfectly. The only answer to beat that is cuisses de Grenouilles,
0:27:18 > 0:27:22- which would have scored 10.- Oui. - Riz would have scored 27.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27- And pomme de terre. Do you know it, Georgia?- Potato!
0:27:27 > 0:27:31- It would have scored 70 points. - Thank you, Richard.
0:27:31 > 0:27:37- At the end of Round Two, the losing pair is Ben and Georgia! - That's all right.
0:27:37 > 0:27:44- I'm sorry. It's one of those things. You either know it or you don't. - Pretty much.- And you don't.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47What's your abiding memory of your time on Pointless?
0:27:47 > 0:27:52- That I was five points ahead of him. - Yeah, that'll follow me forever now.
0:27:52 > 0:27:59- Polish up on my French?- Yes. - I'd rather not say it, just eat it, really.- OK.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Fair enough. Can't say fairer than that.
0:28:02 > 0:28:09It's been lovely having you. Thank you so much for joining us. Fabulous contestants.
0:28:12 > 0:28:18But for the remaining two celebrity pairs, things get even more exciting as we enter the Head to Head.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28Well, congratulations, Chris and Bill, Brian and Rosalind.
0:28:28 > 0:28:36You are now only one round away from our final and the chance to win the jackpot, which stands at £2,500.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39- There we are. - CHEERS
0:28:39 > 0:28:44Only one pair can play for that money and so you now go head to head.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48For each question, you will be shown five options.
0:28:48 > 0:28:53Each pair needs to answer just one of them and you can now confer.
0:28:53 > 0:29:00Score less than the other pair and you win that question. Win two and you will play for the jackpot.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Let's play Head to Head.
0:29:07 > 0:29:08Right.
0:29:08 > 0:29:13Here's your first question and it concerns...nuts.
0:29:15 > 0:29:20- Richard?- With the sort of high-octane jeopardy you rarely see on BBC1 on Saturday nights,
0:29:20 > 0:29:26we'll show you five pictures of nuts. You have to identify the most obscure of those to win.
0:29:26 > 0:29:31Thank you. So let's reveal our five nuts and here they come.
0:29:43 > 0:29:51OK, there are the five nuts. Chris and Bill, you've played best so far and you get to go first.
0:29:51 > 0:29:57Name one that you think the fewest of our 100 people would have recognised.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00We're going to go for E. Pistachio.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02E, pistachio.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08OK. Now, Brian and Rosalind, you can now speak up if you like.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12That's a good one. I was torn. I think A is Brazil.
0:30:12 > 0:30:17C is macadamia, B is hazelnut and D is walnut. I'd say macadamia, C.
0:30:17 > 0:30:23- And that's B, is it?- C. I would say C is macadamia. - Are you sure?!
0:30:23 > 0:30:25- I am.- We're going for C.
0:30:25 > 0:30:30- What are you going to say, Brian? - I was going to say...- Macadamia.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34- What kind of nut?- Macadamia. - Back of my throat.
0:30:34 > 0:30:39- A macadamia nut. - I would have chosen something else, but we've gone for C, macadamia.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44OK, right. Chris and Bill have gone for pistachio, which is E.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48Let's see if that's right and how many people said pistachio.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50It IS right.
0:30:52 > 0:30:5364.
0:30:55 > 0:30:5864 for pistachio.
0:30:58 > 0:31:03Now, Brian, on Rosalind's advice you have gone for macadamia.
0:31:03 > 0:31:08In my inner palace of Sherlock Holmes, I feel that C is the answer.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12Your mind palace says C. OK, C, macadamia.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16You've gone with Rosalind. Let's see if that was a good move.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20Is it right and, if it is, how many people said it?
0:31:20 > 0:31:22It's right!
0:31:22 > 0:31:26And you were right to listen to Rosalind.
0:31:26 > 0:31:31- 20! That's an excellent score! - By Jove!
0:31:31 > 0:31:37Very, very well done. You did absolutely the right thing listening to Rosalind there.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41It means, after one question, you are up one-nil.
0:31:41 > 0:31:46An object lesson to listen to Rosalind. Macadamia is the best answer there.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50If you'd said Brazil nuts, which is A,
0:31:50 > 0:31:55- it would have scored you 83! - I'd never have done it!
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- Yes, you would. - LAUGHTER
0:31:58 > 0:32:02B is another fairly decent answer. It's the hazelnut.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05That would have scored 45 points.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07D is the walnut.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11That's the highest answer with 90 points.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16I was thrown by those pistachios. It's the scale. I thought they were scary.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20- You thought they were enormous nuts? - Enormous nuts.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24- "Look at the size of those nuts!" - And then I thought, "Aah!"
0:32:24 > 0:32:29- Just a bit. "Aah!" - But, Rosalind, you know your nuts.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32- Very well done. - Let it not be said that I don't.
0:32:32 > 0:32:39- So here comes your second question. Chris and Bill, you have to win this to stay in the game.- I know.
0:32:39 > 0:32:44It concerns... Wimbledon men's singles finals.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Wimbledon men's singles finals.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50We'll show you five classic Wimbledon men's singles finals,
0:32:50 > 0:32:56but only the players' initials. Can you tell us the players, please? The most obscure one will win.
0:32:57 > 0:33:04OK, thanks very much, Richard. Let's reveal the five Wimbledon men's single final champions.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08- And they are... - HE READS THE LIST
0:33:19 > 0:33:22I'll read them again.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35And Brian and Rosalind, you go first this time.
0:33:35 > 0:33:40Oh, no, it's very difficult. You know one, do you?
0:33:40 > 0:33:44- Yes, but I don't know tennis. - So it might be a high score.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48It would be, that's why I said that.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52I'm going to go for BB v JM.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Bjorn Borg versus...
0:33:55 > 0:33:58- John McEnroe. 1980.- OK.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02We've got Bjorn Borg versus John McEnroe. OK.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06- So, Chris and Bill, you can talk out loud.- OK.
0:34:06 > 0:34:11Well, we think we've got them all except one loser!
0:34:12 > 0:34:17- Shall we go for what? Number three, Chris?- Yeah. - It's a boat. SS.
0:34:17 > 0:34:22Stan Smith and Ilie Nastase in 1972.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26- Yes, of course!- OK. We have Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe,
0:34:26 > 0:34:29Stan Smith and Ilie Nastase.
0:34:29 > 0:34:35In the order they were given, Brian and Rosalind have gone for Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe.
0:34:35 > 0:34:41- Let's see if that's right and how many people knew it. - One or two(!)
0:34:41 > 0:34:43It's right.
0:34:47 > 0:34:4829!
0:34:51 > 0:34:55- 29.- It won't beat... It won't beat Stan Smith.
0:34:55 > 0:35:01Chris and Bill, Stan Smith and Ilie Nastase. Let's see if that's right and how many people said that.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05It's right.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08It needs to beat 29.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12And it does! Very well done. You are still in the game.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Great answer. Down to 13.
0:35:16 > 0:35:22So after two questions, Chris and Bill and Brian and Rosalind are on one point apiece.
0:35:22 > 0:35:28Well played, Bill and Chris. Both finals went to a final set, as is this Head to Head.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32Let's go through the ones we didn't get. RN v RF is Nadal v Federer.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36But that would have scored you 36 points.
0:35:36 > 0:35:42The other two would have won the point. Goran Ivanisevic v Pat Rafter. That was three points.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44The final one is pointless.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47It's Pete Sampras v Jim Courier.
0:35:47 > 0:35:52In 1993. Very well done if you got all five of those at home.
0:35:52 > 0:35:58Here comes your third question. Whoever wins this will play for that jackpot in the final.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02It concerns... Queen Victoria. Richard?
0:36:02 > 0:36:09We'll give you five clues to facts about Queen Victoria. The most obscure one will win the point.
0:36:09 > 0:36:15Thanks very much, Richard. So here are our five facts about Queen Victoria. We have got...
0:36:15 > 0:36:17HE READS THE LIST
0:36:29 > 0:36:32I'll read those all one more time.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43Now then, Bill and Chris, you go first this time.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47- I really don't know.- Her death was...- I wasn't alive!- Were you not?
0:36:47 > 0:36:52I was counting on you being alive then. We'll have to go for consort.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Em...
0:36:54 > 0:37:00- Because we really don't know any of them, we'll go for name of consort. - We know one!- Albert.
0:37:00 > 0:37:05- I'm not even confident about that! - The name of her consort, Albert.
0:37:05 > 0:37:11- Now then, Brian and Rosalind, you can talk out loud. - Shall we go for Mrs Brown?
0:37:11 > 0:37:13I think John Brown was a consort.
0:37:13 > 0:37:19- But we...- But the film, portrayed by Judi, whom I've worked with many times, in this studio,
0:37:19 > 0:37:24many years ago in Z Cars she was my girlfriend.
0:37:24 > 0:37:31- Judi Dench. And so I think we'll go for safety and say the film Mrs Brown.- I'll go with that.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34So we have Prince Albert and Mrs Brown.
0:37:34 > 0:37:40In the order they were given, Chris and Bill have said her consort was Prince Albert.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46It's right!
0:37:46 > 0:37:5163 people said Albert was her consort.
0:37:55 > 0:38:02Brian and Rosalind have said that Mrs Brown was the film in which Judi Dench played Queen Victoria.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Is that right? How many knew that?
0:38:06 > 0:38:08It's right.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12- You've done it! - WE'VE DONE IT! WE'RE THERE!
0:38:12 > 0:38:1327!
0:38:15 > 0:38:19There you are. 27 beats 63,
0:38:19 > 0:38:25- which means after three questions Brian and Rosalind are through 2-1. Richard?- Marvellous!
0:38:25 > 0:38:30- We were the outsiders! - To be fair, you kept saying that.
0:38:30 > 0:38:37- "I don't know anything about this." But you did.- I didn't pull the wool over your eyes, Richard?
0:38:37 > 0:38:41I wasn't fooled for a minute. Not for a second.
0:38:41 > 0:38:46Year of death is the highest scorer left on the board. Do you know that?
0:38:46 > 0:38:50- 1901.- Absolutely right. That would have scored 38 points.
0:38:50 > 0:38:55- Number of children? She had nine. - Nine?!- Nine children.
0:38:55 > 0:39:00She was survived by 40 grandchildren. Imagine Christmas!
0:39:00 > 0:39:0516 points that was. And first given name. Anyone know? It scored two.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09- Well done if you knew it at home. Alexandrina.- Alexandrina!
0:39:09 > 0:39:16- A female Alexander. - A female Alexander. She ditched it the minute she became Queen.
0:39:16 > 0:39:21- You called yourself Victoria for a brief time in the mid-'90s.- True.
0:39:21 > 0:39:27- My friends still call me that. - You say friends, you mean clients. - LAUGHTER
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Ah... Richard, thank you very much.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37So the losing pair, I'm sorry to say, is Chris and Bill.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41- AUDIENCE: Awww! - Thank you. Thank you.
0:39:41 > 0:39:47- Your Queen Victoria knowledge, I was surprised.- Yes, those long hours sitting in the hide...
0:39:47 > 0:39:50- Counting the nine children.- Yes!
0:39:50 > 0:39:58- Alexandrine are parakeets. Possibly named after Queen Victoria. - Almost certainly.- It probably is!
0:39:58 > 0:40:04- We should have known. - Chris and Bill, thank you for coming and being such excellent sports.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08- It's been a great pleasure. - Thank you.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12But for Brian and Rosalind, it's now time for our Pointless final!
0:40:17 > 0:40:23- Well, congratulations, Brian and Rosalind. You have fought off all the competition.- Yes, yes, yes.
0:40:23 > 0:40:28- And you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.- THAT'S WHAT WE WANT!
0:40:33 > 0:40:39- Oh, marvellous. It's a trophy! - You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:40:39 > 0:40:44At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,500.
0:40:47 > 0:40:52OK, the rules are very simple. All you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:40:52 > 0:40:58- We haven't had any today.- None! - You only have to find one now and you go home with that money.
0:40:58 > 0:41:04First, you choose your category. You have five options. Have a look at these.
0:41:11 > 0:41:17I would lean towards musical song lyrics for me. If you know any of the others...
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Well, I was in Cats, the musical,
0:41:20 > 0:41:24and Chitty...and Bang Bang and Metropolis.
0:41:24 > 0:41:31There's no end to my talents. Female celebrities might bring back bad memories!
0:41:34 > 0:41:39- Are you happy with musical song lyrics?- Ecstatically so.
0:41:39 > 0:41:45- Well, that looks like it.- OK. - It's the best we can do! - Let's find out what the question is.
0:41:45 > 0:41:52We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many animals mentioned in If I Could Talk To The Animals
0:41:52 > 0:41:57- as they could. Richard?- Any species or breed that appears in the lyrics of If I Could Talk To The Animals
0:41:57 > 0:42:02from the 1967 film Doctor Dolittle, please.
0:42:02 > 0:42:07- Oh, great. I don't know any! - If it's a species or a breed, we'll accept that.
0:42:07 > 0:42:13You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers. All you need to win that £2,500
0:42:13 > 0:42:19- is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?- Yes, love.
0:42:19 > 0:42:25Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are. Your time starts now.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29- # If I could talk to the animals... Da da da da de... #- I know the tune!
0:42:29 > 0:42:32What animals?
0:42:32 > 0:42:36Yes, but when he's walking along he's singing to...
0:42:36 > 0:42:41He sings to giraffes, to zebras, he sings to seals.
0:42:41 > 0:42:48- Cos he's in a circus. And he sees a llama... he sees a llama and a camel.- Oh?
0:42:48 > 0:42:52He sees a llama and a camel, he sees penguins...
0:42:52 > 0:42:57and he sees... he sees things like that.
0:42:57 > 0:43:04- OK.- I think...- OK. If we're going to come down on the side of three animals,
0:43:04 > 0:43:06what would you say?
0:43:06 > 0:43:11I'd go for the camel, the...the...the camel...
0:43:11 > 0:43:15- And the seal.- The seal. - The seal balancing things.
0:43:15 > 0:43:19- 10 seconds.- Did you say llama? Is there a llama involved?
0:43:19 > 0:43:23- Yes.- That would be the order? - Yes. Alpaca, yes.
0:43:24 > 0:43:30Your time is up. We now need three answers. Animals mentioned in the song lyric
0:43:30 > 0:43:35If I Could Talk To The Animals and I now need your three answers.
0:43:35 > 0:43:39- There's a seal. - Seal?- Seal.
0:43:39 > 0:43:41- Yes.- The camel.- Camel.
0:43:41 > 0:43:47- And a...a zebra. - Seal, camel, zebra.- Right.
0:43:47 > 0:43:51- Of those three, do you want to put one...?- Seal the last.- Last?
0:43:51 > 0:43:58- Camel second, zebra first.- OK, OK. So zebra is your least likely to be pointless.- Yes.
0:43:58 > 0:44:03- Your seal the most likely.- Yes. - I wonder if any of them are in it!
0:44:03 > 0:44:10- Let's put them up on the board... - Yeti! No.- ..in that order. Here they are.
0:44:10 > 0:44:15Zebra. Camel. Seal. Do you have any idea if they actually feature in the lyrics?
0:44:15 > 0:44:22I've just seen them in the film. The seal had rings on its nose. It's a difficult question.
0:44:22 > 0:44:27We wanted animals mentioned in If I Could Talk To The Animals.
0:44:27 > 0:44:32Zebra was your least confident shot. You only need one pointless answer, remember,
0:44:32 > 0:44:38to win that £2,500 jackpot. So let's see if zebra's right and how many said it.
0:44:41 > 0:44:42No!
0:44:42 > 0:44:47OK. Unfortunately, that's not a pointless answer,
0:44:47 > 0:44:52so you only have two more chances to win today's jackpot. Who is it for?
0:44:52 > 0:44:57The Born Free Foundation. Virginia McKenna, for her animals.
0:44:57 > 0:45:00- APPLAUSE - Yes, indeed. Excellent.
0:45:02 > 0:45:09- Very good. And Rosalind? - It's a joint effort.- Very good indeed. An excellent cause.
0:45:09 > 0:45:15We are looking for animals mentioned in If I Could Talk To The Animals. Zebra was wrong.
0:45:15 > 0:45:19Let's hope your next answer is right. Camel.
0:45:19 > 0:45:24Let's see if it's correct and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:45:27 > 0:45:30- It's right!- OH, MY GOD! - Oh, hey!
0:45:30 > 0:45:33It's right. Down it goes, Brian.
0:45:33 > 0:45:38If this goes all the way to zero, you'll be leaving here with £2,500.
0:45:38 > 0:45:41Down it goes! Oh! Look at that!
0:45:41 > 0:45:43NO! NO!
0:45:44 > 0:45:46- Oh...- Oh, my God!
0:45:46 > 0:45:49Brian...
0:45:49 > 0:45:52Who said that?! Who was it? LAUGHTER
0:45:53 > 0:45:57- That's the unkindest cut of all. - It's all right.
0:45:57 > 0:46:02- I know who it was if you want to know.- Yes.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05- It was Bill Oddie.- Bill Oddie!
0:46:07 > 0:46:11- It was a good guess. - What about that?- I saw the camel.
0:46:11 > 0:46:17What about that? One for camel. You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:46:17 > 0:46:21£2,500. Everything is riding on the seal.
0:46:21 > 0:46:26- Oh, Alexander.- We were looking for animals mentioned in the song If I Could Talk To The Animals.
0:46:26 > 0:46:32Your third and final answer was seal. Is it right and how many said it? Seal.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38Oh, no!
0:46:39 > 0:46:41It was a good effort.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49Now then...
0:46:49 > 0:46:53Unfortunately, you didn't find that all-important pointless answer
0:46:53 > 0:47:00so you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500. However, as it's a celebrity special,
0:47:00 > 0:47:06- we will donate £500 to each celebrity pair to their respective charities.- Marvellous!
0:47:08 > 0:47:13- Richard has the answers, though. - I do. It's very unlucky.
0:47:13 > 0:47:18Seals aren't mentioned, but sea lions are mentioned in the song.
0:47:18 > 0:47:21It rhymes with "two or three lions".
0:47:21 > 0:47:24- If you had said sea lions...- Yes?
0:47:24 > 0:47:28..that column would have gone all the way down to one again!
0:47:29 > 0:47:33It would have been awful. Let's look at the pointless answers.
0:47:33 > 0:47:41Seven answers would have won the money. See if anyone at home got them. Antelope, crab, crocodiles.
0:47:41 > 0:47:47All pointless answers. Pekinese, pelican - rhymes with "like hell he can" - turtle
0:47:47 > 0:47:50and the walruses.
0:47:50 > 0:47:54- Walruses and sea lions. - I saw them!- Sea-based.
0:47:54 > 0:47:58Brian and Rosalind, I'm so sorry. You didn't win the jackpot,
0:47:58 > 0:48:03but you have been fantastic players. You've come storming through,
0:48:03 > 0:48:09but unfortunately now we have to say goodbye. A big, big round of applause for our winners,
0:48:09 > 0:48:12Brian and Rosalind Blessed!
0:48:14 > 0:48:18All that remains is to say thank you to all our celebrity pairs -
0:48:18 > 0:48:25Anthea and Claire, Ben and Georgia, Chris and Bill and our wonderful finalists, Brian and Rosalind.
0:48:26 > 0:48:33- Thank you!- Join us next time to test more obscure knowledge. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:48:33 > 0:48:35And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:48:37 > 0:48:39Very well done.
