Thank you very much indeed. I'm Alexander Armstrong.

0:00:260:00:29

Welcome to a special Saturday evening celebrity edition of Pointless,

0:00:290:00:34

putting obscure knowledge to the test. Every question has been asked to 100 people before the show.

0:00:340:00:40

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

0:00:400:00:43

our celebrities must find the answers the fewest thought of. Let's meet our Pointless celebrities.

0:00:430:00:50

First up, we welcome Gabi and Monica Irimia!

0:00:560:01:01

Wow.

0:01:010:01:03

-Did I say Irimia right?

-BOTH: Yes!

0:01:040:01:08

-I've never said that out loud before. Irimia! We know you best as the Cheeky Girls.

-Yes.

0:01:080:01:14

You shot to fame in 2002 with the fabulous Cheeky Song (Touch My Et Cetera).

0:01:140:01:20

-You want to learn the moves?

-Do I...?

0:01:200:01:23

-Do you want to learn the moves?

-Wow. Yes, I do. No, I do.

0:01:230:01:27

-Were there moves to the Cheeky Song?

-Of course.

-What were they?

-Like this.

0:01:270:01:33

-Just go round.

-I could do that.

0:01:330:01:35

It's perfect!

0:01:360:01:39

-Very good. Then you point and you say...

-You point.

-And you shake your booty.

0:01:390:01:45

That's amazing. Anyway now, Gabi and Monica,

0:01:450:01:50

a warm Pointless welcome. It's lovely to have you here.

0:01:500:01:54

Next, please welcome Debra Stephenson and Tricia Penrose!

0:01:540:01:59

Now, Debra, we know you from various roles in Bad Girls, Coronation Street,

0:02:010:02:07

but also your brilliant impressions alongside Jon Culshaw.

0:02:070:02:11

-Tricia, we know you from Heartbeat, of course.

-Yes.

0:02:110:02:14

-What's going to be your strong category on Pointless today?

-I think...children's programmes.

0:02:140:02:20

My little boy has always got on children's television.

0:02:200:02:24

-Favourite one?

-Peppa Pig.

-Yes! That's the right answer.

0:02:240:02:28

-Xander does the voice of Daddy Dog.

-Captain Daddy Dog.

-Captain?

-Oh, yeah! He's got a rank!

0:02:280:02:36

-Look out for Captain Daddy Dog. He's brilliant.

-How does he talk?

0:02:360:02:40

Er, he talks like a sailor.

0:02:400:02:42

-DOES VOICE:

-Like that. Sailor.

0:02:420:02:44

That kind of voice. Captain Daddy Dog!

0:02:440:02:48

Close your eyes and picture Peppa Pig. There you are.

0:02:480:02:54

So Peppa Pig. Children's TV. Debra, what's your dream category?

0:02:540:02:59

Well, I like food. I don't know about it. I just like eating it.

0:02:590:03:03

-I'll just take it as it comes.

-It's lovely having you on the show.

0:03:030:03:08

Very warm welcome and best of luck. Next, please welcome Alex James and Phil Daniels!

0:03:080:03:14

Between you, we know you for many, many, many things.

0:03:200:03:24

Alex, we probably know you best as the bassist from Blur and you're a farmer,

0:03:240:03:31

-a celebrity cheeseman.

-I've always loved cheese.

0:03:310:03:34

-People used to throw it at me when Blur played.

-Is that true?

0:03:340:03:38

Yeah. It comes in tins in Japan, which is particularly scary. Tins are the worst.

0:03:380:03:43

I'm hoping for cheese questions.

0:03:430:03:46

-Any good on Romanian cheese?

-LAUGHTER

0:03:460:03:50

And Phil, actor of stage, screen, silver screen... but also you performed together

0:03:520:03:58

on Parklife, the seminal Blur track, if I can say that.

0:03:580:04:01

-20 years ago nearly.

-Get out of town! 20 years ago?!

0:04:010:04:05

-And we're still doing it.

-LAUGHTER

0:04:050:04:09

Very warm welcome to you.

0:04:090:04:11

And finally we've got Toby Anstis and Kirsten O'Brien!

0:04:110:04:16

Toby, we know you for all kinds of things. You present the morning show on Heart FM.

0:04:200:04:25

You were on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. And, Kirsten, we know you from children's TV.

0:04:250:04:30

But also as a stand-up and comedienne in your own right.

0:04:300:04:34

-Now the pair of you, you've worked together.

-Yeah. Back in the day on all sorts.

0:04:340:04:40

You did SMart, I did some stuff on Live And Kicking. We met up on all sorts of shows.

0:04:400:04:45

-I had to constantly interview him in the broom cupboard.

-The broom cupboard!

0:04:450:04:50

Toby, what's good for you?

0:04:500:04:53

Probably sport will be pretty good.

0:04:530:04:56

-For me. Kirst, entertainment?

-Entertainment. Anything on how to get a baby to sleep

0:04:560:05:02

-at the minute.

-You've got a tiny baby.

0:05:020:05:06

-Six months old, so...

-Not sleeping.

-No.

-I'm guessing that's a boy.

-Yes!

0:05:060:05:11

Yes, it is.

0:05:110:05:13

Very best of luck to you. We'll discover all your hidden knowledge throughout the show.

0:05:130:05:19

Only one person left to introduce. If you sit at a desk all day trying to look like you're working,

0:05:190:05:24

this is how the master does it. He is my Pointless friend, Richard.

0:05:240:05:28

Hiya. Hello.

0:05:280:05:30

-How much fun is this going to be?

-It'll be amazing!

-I so enjoyed you talking to the Cheeky Girls.

0:05:360:05:42

-You were like 10 years younger.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Wow.

0:05:420:05:46

-It's really sweet.

-Thank you.

0:05:460:05:49

All our questions have been put to 100 people, but we want obscure answers they couldn't get.

0:05:490:05:54

For a chance to win our jackpot, all our celebrities need to do is score as few points as they possibly can.

0:05:540:06:00

What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.

0:06:000:06:06

Each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot. As today is a celebrity special show,

0:06:060:06:11

each celebrity is playing for a nominated charity, so we start with a jackpot of £2,500. There.

0:06:110:06:17

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

0:06:210:06:25

In the first round, each of you gives one answer and you cannot confer.

0:06:320:06:36

Whichever pair has the highest score will be eliminated, so try to make sure that's not you.

0:06:360:06:42

An incorrect answer scores 100 points so try to avoid those.

0:06:420:06:47

Our first category today is... The Voice.

0:06:470:06:51

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

0:06:510:06:57

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

0:06:570:07:01

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many UK Top 20 hits

0:07:020:07:08

released by The Voice UK coaches as they could. Richard?

0:07:080:07:13

We're looking for any UK Top 20 hit released by either Tom Jones, Jessie J,

0:07:130:07:17

The Script - Danny O'Donoghue's band - or the Black Eyed Peas/will.i.am.

0:07:170:07:22

Anything that reached the UK Top 20 prior to April, 2012.

0:07:220:07:26

OK, thanks very much, Richard. Now, Gabi and Monica, you drew lots

0:07:260:07:30

-and today you are going first. So Monica...

-Right.

0:07:300:07:35

We want any UK Top 20 single released by a coach on The Voice UK.

0:07:350:07:40

I'm going to choose the Black Eyed Peas and I'm going to say...

0:07:400:07:44

-They did a cover of The Time Of My Life.

-The Time Of My Life?

-Yes.

0:07:440:07:49

OK, Monica is saying The Time Of My Life. Is it right? How many said it?

0:07:490:07:54

-Oh!

-Oh, no. Bad luck.

0:07:560:07:59

Unfortunately, for some reason, that is an incorrect answer, so you score the maximum 100 points.

0:07:590:08:03

-Sorry, Monica. I'll explain why when everyone's had a go.

-Bad luck.

0:08:030:08:07

-Now, Tricia...

-My heart's pounding. Em...

0:08:070:08:11

-will.i.am, I'm going to say Heartbreaker.

-Heartbreaker says Tricia.

0:08:120:08:17

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

0:08:170:08:21

It's right!

0:08:230:08:25

It's right, Tricia.

0:08:250:08:28

Oh, and it's a nice low score. Look at that! Pointless!

0:08:290:08:34

That's fantastic!

0:08:340:08:37

It's a Pointless answer and adds £250 to today's jackpot, taking the total up to £2,750.

0:08:370:08:43

It scores you nothing. Very, very well done indeed.

0:08:430:08:47

-That was lucky.

-Good start.

-Very well played. Great start.

0:08:470:08:52

I bet your heart's pounding even more now! A hit with Cheryl Cole - a number four hit.

0:08:520:08:58

-Very good indeed. Now, Alex...

-Hmm.

-What are you thinking?

0:08:580:09:03

Tom Jones did a cover of Kiss by Prince, so I'm going to go with...Kiss by Tom Jones.

0:09:030:09:09

Kiss by Tom Jones. Let's see if that's right and how many said Kiss.

0:09:090:09:14

Absolutely right.

0:09:160:09:18

Another good answer.

0:09:210:09:23

Lovely low score. 16!

0:09:230:09:26

-Well played, Alex. A number five hit. The Art of Noise, featuring Tom Jones.

-Now then,

0:09:300:09:35

-Toby?

-I'm going to go with The Script.

0:09:350:09:37

-The Man Who Can't Be Moved.

-The Man Who Can't Be Moved, says Toby.

0:09:370:09:42

Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many of our 100 said it.

0:09:420:09:48

It's absolutely right.

0:09:490:09:51

Down it goes.

0:09:540:09:56

Six!

0:09:560:09:58

Very well done, Toby.

0:09:580:10:00

Whoo!

0:10:000:10:02

Six for The Man Who Can't Be Moved.

0:10:020:10:04

Yeah, very well played, Toby. Another relieved man there.

0:10:040:10:08

-A number two hit in 2008.

-Halfway through. Let's look at the scores.

0:10:080:10:12

Tricia and Debra, looking very strong indeed on absolutely nothing.

0:10:120:10:17

We move up to six, Toby and Kirsten. To 16 for Alex and Phil

0:10:170:10:22

and then up to 100 where we find Monica and Gabi.

0:10:220:10:26

I'm not saying it's game over yet. Gabi, we need a brilliant answer from you

0:10:260:10:30

and to hope somebody else scores high. Can the second players take their places at the podium?

0:10:300:10:36

Now then, Kirsten, you're on a lovely low score of six. The high scorers are on 100.

0:10:380:10:45

If you can score 93 or less you are through to the next round.

0:10:450:10:50

We want any UK Top 20 singles by any of our Voice UK coaches.

0:10:500:10:55

I'm just going to go for the one everyone knows, just to play safe.

0:10:550:11:00

-I'll probably get this wrong now! I'll go Delilah.

-Delilah says Kirsten. OK, Delilah.

0:11:000:11:07

Here is your red line. If you get below that with Delilah, you are home and dry.

0:11:070:11:12

How many people said it? Is it right?

0:11:120:11:15

Absolutely right.

0:11:150:11:17

48!

0:11:190:11:21

Nothing wrong with that. Takes your total up to 54. Very well done, Kirsten.

0:11:210:11:26

Well played, Kirsten. A song he sung at the Jubilee concert. Delilah, by Tom Jones.

0:11:260:11:32

Now, Phil, you're on 16. The high scorers remain on 100.

0:11:320:11:38

If you score 83 or less, through you go.

0:11:380:11:42

I have Tom. The Green, Green Grass of Home.

0:11:430:11:47

The Green, Green Grass of Home. Let's see if it's right and how many said it.

0:11:470:11:52

Well done, you're through.

0:11:540:11:57

30!

0:11:590:12:00

A lovely low total of 46.

0:12:000:12:03

Well played, Phil. Safe and sound. Number one in 1966.

0:12:040:12:08

Debra, you're on nothing. The sisters Cheeky are on 100. If you can score 99 or less,

0:12:080:12:13

you are through to the next round. 99 or less. However, Tricia scored nothing.

0:12:130:12:19

I think I've got something here.

0:12:190:12:22

-It's The Script.

-Yeah?

-I think it's called...

0:12:230:12:28

-For The First Time.

-The Script, For The First Time, you are saying. Is it right?

0:12:280:12:35

It's right and you're through.

0:12:360:12:39

One!

0:12:440:12:46

One, Debra.

0:12:460:12:48

What about that? Scores you one and takes your total up to one. Amazing.

0:12:480:12:53

Very well played, Debra. What a score! Not bad at all. Another Top 10 hit from The Script,

0:12:530:12:59

-this time from 2010.

-Very, very good indeed.

0:12:590:13:04

-Now then, Gabi and Monica, I have sad news.

-I know!

0:13:040:13:07

You are the high scorers, even before your answer,

0:13:070:13:11

I'm thinking of a few songs from the Black Eyed Peas, which I believe were Top 10 hits.

0:13:110:13:18

-Is it I've Got A Feeling?

-I've Got A Feeling. Is it right and how many people said it?

0:13:180:13:24

-Very well done, indeed. Absolutely right.

-Go down, go down.

0:13:260:13:31

Down it goes. Brilliant!

0:13:310:13:33

Seven!

0:13:330:13:35

That's a great score.

0:13:350:13:38

-Our fourth-lowest score of the round, takes you to 107.

-It's still a lot!

0:13:410:13:46

Well played, Gabi. A number one single in 2009. We couldn't give your first answer.

0:13:460:13:52

It's called The Time (Dirty Bit).

0:13:520:13:54

-Sorry.

-OK, no worries.

0:13:540:13:56

Let's look at the pointless answers.

0:13:560:13:59

3 Words, that's will.i.am and Cheryl Cole. Barry Islands In The Stream, which Tom Jones did

0:13:590:14:06

with Bryn and Vanessa. Daughter of Darkness, Tom Jones.

0:14:060:14:10

Don't Phunk With My Heart, Black Eyed Peas.

0:14:100:14:13

Funny Familiar Forgotten Feelings, a Tom Jones hit.

0:14:130:14:17

There's Heartbreaker, Cheryl Cole and will.i.am.

0:14:170:14:20

Help Yourself, Tom Jones. A Top 5 hit.

0:14:200:14:24

Again Tom Jones, I (Who Have Nothing).

0:14:240:14:27

And T.H.E.(The Hardest Ever), will.i.am, Mick Jagger, Jennifer Lopez.

0:14:270:14:31

Thank you, Richard. So at the end of the first round, the losing pair is Gabi and Monica.

0:14:310:14:38

-Oh, never mind.

-Before you go, we asked our 100 people to name their favourite celebrity twins...

-And?

0:14:380:14:46

-Jedward!

-Oh.

-Yeah.

0:14:460:14:49

-But who do you think came second?

-The Cheeky Girls!

0:14:490:14:54

The Krays! Equal with The Cheeky Girls!

0:14:540:14:59

So there you are.

0:14:590:15:01

Lovely having you on the show. Thank you so much. You've been brilliant sports. Gabi and Monica!

0:15:030:15:09

-Whoo whoo whoo!

-But for the remaining three pairs, it's Round Two!

0:15:090:15:14

Now there's only room for two celebrity pairs on our Head to Head,

0:15:190:15:24

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

0:15:240:15:27

Our category for Round Two is...TV characters.

0:15:270:15:31

TV characters. Can you all decide who's going to go first and who's going to go second?

0:15:310:15:37

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

0:15:370:15:41

OK, our question concerns... TV comedy characters and their performers.

0:15:420:15:48

-Richard?

-On each pass, I'm going to give you the names of six TV comedy characters.

0:15:480:15:54

Tell me the name of the person who most famously performs them.

0:15:540:15:58

A nice obscure answer gets fewer points. An incorrect answer is 100.

0:15:580:16:03

12 comedy characters in all. Very best of luck.

0:16:030:16:06

OK, so let's reveal our comedy characters. And here we have...

0:16:060:16:10

I'll read them one last time.

0:16:170:16:20

There we are. Six comedy characters. Name the actor or actress you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:16:250:16:32

-Debra?

-I think I've chosen.

0:16:320:16:35

I think it's quite obscure. Delbert Wilkins was Lenny Henry.

0:16:350:16:40

-Delbert Wilkins...

-It was a while ago.

-So might be a low scorer.

0:16:400:16:44

Delbert Wilkins, Lenny Henry. Is it right? How many people said it?

0:16:440:16:48

Absolutely right.

0:16:490:16:51

13! Very well done.

0:16:560:16:58

Lovely low score, Debra.

0:16:580:17:01

-Lenny Henry.

-Good answer, Debra. Brixton-based pirate radio DJ Delbert Wilkins.

0:17:010:17:07

-Now then, Phil...

-Em, I'm not sure, so I'll go for Ali G and...

0:17:070:17:15

Sacha Baron Cohen.

0:17:150:17:17

Sacha Baron Cohen says Phil for Ali G. Is it right and how many knew that?

0:17:170:17:22

33.

0:17:280:17:29

-33 for Sacha Baron Cohen.

-Very well played, Phil. Good answer.

0:17:330:17:36

He asked the Beckhams if they wanted Brooklyn to be a footballer like his father

0:17:360:17:42

or a singer like Mariah Carey.

0:17:420:17:44

Toby, you're the last person to have this board. You can fill in all the gaps. You probably know them.

0:17:460:17:53

There's a couple I don't know. I'd have gone with Phil's.

0:17:530:17:57

Either Ali G or the one I'm going to go with,

0:17:570:18:01

which is Keith Lemon... Leigh Francis.

0:18:010:18:06

Keith Lemon, Leigh Francis. Is that right? How many knew that?

0:18:060:18:11

-It's a great answer. Look at that. Six, Toby.

-Good work!

0:18:190:18:24

-Six for Leigh Francis.

-Yeah. I tell you what. Toby's good, isn't he?

0:18:240:18:29

It's the best answer on the board. Well played.

0:18:290:18:33

Let's go through the rest of them. Mr Bean, obviously, is Rowan Atkinson. It would have scored 72.

0:18:330:18:38

Bubbles Devere, Matt Lucas. It would have scored 16.

0:18:380:18:43

-Do you know Ron Manager?

-Paul Whitehouse.

-Right. Well done if you got all of those at home.

0:18:430:18:49

OK, thanks very much indeed. Let's take a look at the scores.

0:18:490:18:53

Toby and Kirsten looking very strong on six, then up to 13 where we find Debra and Tricia.

0:18:530:18:58

Then 33, Phil and Alex. Alex, we need a low-scoring answer from you in the next pass.

0:18:580:19:03

We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players take their places at the podium?

0:19:030:19:10

OK, we're going to put six more roles on the board. Here they are.

0:19:100:19:15

We have got...

0:19:150:19:18

I'll read those one final time.

0:19:230:19:26

We are looking for the actors or actresses who played these roles.

0:19:330:19:37

Kirsten, you want the one the fewest of our 100 people knew. Now you're on six, Kirsten.

0:19:370:19:44

Alex and Phil are on 33. If you can score 26 or less, through you go to the Head to Head.

0:19:440:19:50

OK.

0:19:500:19:52

I'm going to go with Waynetta Slob.

0:19:520:19:55

-Kathy Burke.

-Kathy Burke. Brilliant.

0:19:560:20:00

Waynetta Slob, you are saying. Here is your red line. Below that,

0:20:000:20:05

you are through. Is Kathy Burke right? How many said it?

0:20:050:20:09

Absolutely right.

0:20:110:20:13

And you're through. Just!

0:20:160:20:18

Very well done, though. 22 takes your total to 28.

0:20:180:20:22

-Richard?

-Sailing through to the Head to Head. Well done, guys.

0:20:220:20:26

-Married to Wayne Slob, played by Harry Enfield.

-Now then, Alex.

0:20:260:20:31

Yeah.

0:20:310:20:33

Mrs Merton was Caroline Hook.

0:20:350:20:38

-Go for that.

-OK, Caroline Hook says Alex.

-She was called Hook then. She's not called that now.

0:20:380:20:45

-It's the old bassist thing. Wasn't he a bassist?

-Peter Hook. He married Caroline Aherne.

0:20:450:20:51

OK, Caroline Hook/Aherne. No red line for you. Just hope this goes down as far as it can.

0:20:510:20:58

Caroline Hook for Mrs Merton.

0:20:580:21:01

Absolutely right.

0:21:010:21:03

21.

0:21:060:21:08

21 takes your total up to 54.

0:21:080:21:12

You've done all you can there, Alex. Good answer. Caroline Aherne played Mrs Merton.

0:21:120:21:18

OK. Now then, Tricia, you're on 13.

0:21:180:21:22

The high scorers are on 54. If you can score 40 or less...

0:21:220:21:26

-I think I've blown it.

-..you're through.

0:21:260:21:29

I've never even heard of Blunderwoman or Pauline Calf.

0:21:290:21:34

I think Edna Everage would be very high, Barry Humphries.

0:21:340:21:38

Cosmo Smallpiece, never heard of. I'm going to go for...

0:21:380:21:42

-Blunderwoman.

-I thought you hadn't heard of her.

0:21:420:21:46

Oh, you need to know the name...! I'll have to go for Edna Everage. Sorry! Barry Humphries.

0:21:460:21:53

-I forgot you had to know the name of the person.

-OK.

-I've blown it.

-You haven't.

-You may not have.

0:21:530:22:00

A lot of people know Edna Everage. How many know Barry Humphries? Here is your red line.

0:22:000:22:06

If you get below that red line, you are in the Head to Head.

0:22:060:22:11

Is it right? How many said it?

0:22:110:22:13

You've done it! You've done it! 34!

0:22:190:22:22

34 takes your total up to 47.

0:22:240:22:26

-Very well done, Tricia. Richard?

-Well played once again, Tricia. You got yourself safely through.

0:22:260:22:32

He was born John Humphries. That would make Mastermind different.

0:22:320:22:37

-Let's go through the rest of them. Pauline Calf...

-Steve Coogan.

-Absolutely right.

0:22:370:22:43

-That would have scored 16 points. Cosmo Smallpiece?

-No.

0:22:430:22:48

Catchphrase "Knickers knackers knockers." Les Dawson.

0:22:480:22:52

And Blunderwoman. Do you know that? From Russ Abbot's Madhouse. Played by Bella Emberg.

0:22:520:22:58

-Bella Emberg!

-Four points. Very well done if you said that at home.

0:22:580:23:03

Thanks, Richard. So the losing celebrity pair with the high score are Alex and Phil! How on earth?!

0:23:030:23:10

-Sad to go.

-Well, before you go, we've polled our 100 people.

0:23:120:23:16

They had 100 seconds to name their favourite Blur song.

0:23:160:23:20

-Girls and Boys.

-No, it wasn't. The favourite one by our 100 people, you'll be thrilled, was Parklife.

0:23:200:23:26

-Was it?

-There we are! Fabulous. Alex and Phil, thank you so much for joining us.

0:23:260:23:32

-Thank you.

-It's been such a treat. Brilliant contestants.

0:23:320:23:36

Thank you.

0:23:360:23:38

But for the remaining two pairs, things get even more exciting as we enter the Head to Head.

0:23:400:23:46

Well, congratulations, Tricia and Debra, Toby and Kirsten.

0:23:510:23:55

You are now only one round away from the final and the chance to play for our jackpot of £2,750.

0:23:550:24:02

You are now going to go Head to Head and the first pair to win two questions plays for the jackpot.

0:24:060:24:12

The big news is from here on in you are allowed to confer.

0:24:120:24:16

Let's play the Head to Head.

0:24:160:24:19

OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...animals with colours in their names.

0:24:230:24:28

-Animals with colours in their names. Richard?

-We'll show five creatures with colours in their names.

0:24:280:24:35

Can you name the most obscure? This is really hard.

0:24:350:24:39

-Is it really cute as well? Are we going to say "aaaah"?

-There's maybe a couple of cute ones.

0:24:390:24:45

Let's reveal our five creatures with colours in their names.

0:24:450:24:49

We have got...

0:24:490:24:51

Aaah ha ha. Actually, he looks quite cross, B.

0:24:540:24:58

C, also quite cross.

0:24:580:25:01

Aaah, E.

0:25:050:25:07

Basically, A, B, C, D and E and of those I'd say B does look quite cross, but aaaah.

0:25:070:25:14

Cute. There we go. OK, so Debra and Tricia,

0:25:140:25:18

-you've played best so far, so you get to go first.

-Oh, dear.

0:25:180:25:23

I've got one good guess, to be fair.

0:25:230:25:26

I don't know it, but I've got a good guess.

0:25:260:25:30

-So I'm going to pick C.

-Yes.

0:25:300:25:33

I think it's a red kite.

0:25:330:25:36

-A red kite. C, a red kite.

-Yeah.

-Say Tricia and Debra.

0:25:360:25:40

Toby and Kirsten, you can talk us through the board.

0:25:400:25:43

-That throws us in a quandary.

-Tough one. Actually,

0:25:430:25:48

we were pretty sure that C wasn't what they said.

0:25:480:25:51

-You can go for a different answer.

-But...

0:25:510:25:53

We thought that was a golden eagle.

0:25:530:25:57

-Shall we go with it? E, yellow wagtail.

-E, yellow wagtail.

0:25:570:26:03

So Debra and Tricia say red kite for C. Toby and Kirsten say yellow wagtail for E.

0:26:030:26:07

Debra and Tricia, you have said red kite. Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.

0:26:070:26:14

Oh, no! Bad luck.

0:26:160:26:18

That's an incorrect answer. So, Toby and Kirsten, all you have to be is correct.

0:26:180:26:24

E, yellow wagtail. It's yellow, it's got a tail.

0:26:240:26:27

Is it right?

0:26:270:26:29

Oh, no!

0:26:300:26:33

Wow! There's that for our first question. After one question, it's nil-all.

0:26:330:26:38

-Richard?

-I did say it was hard, didn't I?

0:26:380:26:42

E is not a yellow wagtail. It's a yellowhammer.

0:26:420:26:46

It would have scored you 17 points. And C is not a red kite.

0:26:460:26:50

It's a golden eagle.

0:26:500:26:53

-Oh, no!

-So it would have won you the point. That would have scored 29 points.

0:26:530:26:58

Let's take a look at the rest. The A, of course,

0:26:580:27:02

-is a blue-footed booby.

-Wow.

-It would have scored you 8 points. Very proud of their blue feet.

0:27:020:27:08

-The bluer the feet, the more mates you attract.

-Really?

-Yeah.

0:27:080:27:12

-Now B. Do you know B?

-It looks like Susan Boyle.

0:27:120:27:16

B is a red panda. A red panda. 18 points.

0:27:180:27:22

A very gentle, secretive creature.

0:27:220:27:24

-D is a scarlet macaw. That's the best answer.

-Lovely.

-One point.

0:27:240:27:30

Here comes your second question. Best of luck. It concerns...

0:27:300:27:34

dinosaurs.

0:27:350:27:37

-Dinosaurs. Richard?

-We'll show you five names of dinosaurs, with alternate letters missing.

0:27:390:27:45

-Can you fill in those gaps and name the most obscure?

-Let's reveal our five dinosaurs.

0:27:450:27:50

Here we go. We have got...

0:27:500:27:55

I'm going to read them all again without the blanks! Phew!

0:28:090:28:14

There we are. Toby and Kirsten, you go first.

0:28:210:28:25

There's an obvious one. Second one down. We're going to go with the second one down.

0:28:250:28:32

-Yeah.

-Tyrannosaurus.

-Tyrannosaurus. Now then, Tricia and Debra...

0:28:320:28:34

Well, we've got triceratops or velociraptor.

0:28:340:28:39

-We'll go for velociraptor.

-Velociraptor say Tricia and Debra.

0:28:390:28:43

So we have tyrannosaurus and velociraptor. Toby and Kirsten are going for tyrannosaurus.

0:28:430:28:48

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

0:28:480:28:52

Absolutely right.

0:28:520:28:54

74! Ooh!

0:28:540:28:57

Tricia and Debra, you are going for velociraptor.

0:29:010:29:05

Is that right? How many people said it? 74's what you have to beat.

0:29:050:29:09

That's right!

0:29:110:29:13

58!

0:29:150:29:17

Which means, after two questions, Tricia and Debra, you are up one-nil.

0:29:210:29:26

-Very well done. Richard?

-Triceratops was a better answer. It would have scored you 23 points.

0:29:260:29:32

But you got the point anyway.

0:29:320:29:35

Right at the bottom is the brachiosaurus. 17 points.

0:29:350:29:39

And the best answer of all, just one point,

0:29:390:29:43

-is the supersaurus.

-Supersaurus.

-One point.

-OK, the third question...

0:29:430:29:48

Tricia and Debra, if you win this you go through to the final. Toby and Kirsten, you know what to do.

0:29:480:29:54

Here it comes. It concerns...

0:29:540:29:56

Tea. Tea, Richard.

0:29:570:29:59

We'll show you five clues to facts about tea. Can you pick the most obscure answer from this list?

0:29:590:30:05

OK, let's reveal our five clues to facts about tea. Here we go.

0:30:050:30:10

We have got...

0:30:100:30:11

I'll read those one last time.

0:30:300:30:32

There we are. Five clues to facts about tea.

0:30:500:30:54

Tricia and Debra, you go first this time.

0:30:540:30:56

-Perhaps we should go for the bottom one.

-OK.

-The bottom one?

-Yeah.

0:30:580:31:02

OK, what are you going to say?

0:31:020:31:05

-Boston Tea Party.

-Boston. The city where the Tea Party protests took place in 1773. OK.

0:31:050:31:11

Boston you are saying. Toby and Kirsten...

0:31:110:31:14

Modern-day name of the island nation that produces Ceylon tea.

0:31:140:31:19

-Sri Lanka.

-Sri Lanka you say. So we have Boston versus Sri Lanka.

0:31:190:31:23

Debra and Tricia have given the answer Boston for the US city of the 1773 Tea Party protests.

0:31:230:31:31

Is that right? How many said it?

0:31:310:31:34

Absolutely right.

0:31:340:31:36

68!

0:31:370:31:38

Now Toby and Kirsten, you have to get this right. You've gone for Sri Lanka as the modern-day name

0:31:430:31:49

of the island nation where Ceylon tea came from.

0:31:490:31:53

Is that right? How many said it?

0:31:530:31:55

It's absolutely right.

0:31:560:31:59

And you've done it! Well done. 59!

0:31:590:32:01

-Very well done. After three questions, you are one-all.

-Very well played.

0:32:030:32:08

You pulled that out the bag. Let's look at the rest.

0:32:080:32:11

-The name of the decorative tea urn used in Russia?

-Samovar.

-Right.

0:32:110:32:16

Quite a big scorer. 32 points.

0:32:160:32:18

The century in which tea was popularised was the 17th.

0:32:180:32:22

It would have scored you 7 points.

0:32:220:32:25

And the Chinese tea is oolong. And that would have scored three. Well done if you said that at home.

0:32:250:32:32

Thanks, Richard. So we come to the decider. Whoever wins this goes through to the final.

0:32:320:32:39

OK, here's your next question. It concerns...Christmas films.

0:32:390:32:44

-Christmas films. Richard?

-We'll show you five sets of initials.

0:32:440:32:49

They're all initials of films with the word Christmas in the title. We'll also give you the year.

0:32:490:32:56

-Can you pick the most obscure? Very best of luck.

-OK.

0:32:560:33:00

Let's reveal our five film titles with the word Christmas in them in initial form.

0:33:000:33:06

We have got...

0:33:060:33:09

I'll read those all one last time.

0:33:210:33:24

Five films with Christmas in their titles. There are the initials and the years they were made.

0:33:310:33:38

-Toby and Kirsten...

-She's getting excited. I'm saying shhh!

-I've got one.

-OK.

0:33:380:33:41

Right, this could be totally wrong. It's a guess.

0:33:410:33:45

But 1992, is it The Muppet Christmas Carol?

0:33:450:33:51

The Muppet Christmas Carol.

0:33:510:33:53

-Tricia and Debra...

-Oh, I can't think. I've gone blank.

0:33:530:33:58

-What are we going to do?

-Just go for the only one we know, which is White Christmas.

0:33:580:34:04

-You're going for White Christmas.

-What's the demographic of this 100 people?

-Random.

0:34:040:34:10

Toby and Kirsten have gone for The Muppet Christmas Carol. Is that right? How many said it?

0:34:100:34:16

Absolutely right!

0:34:170:34:19

-Very well done.

-Come on!

0:34:190:34:21

Come on! Come on!

0:34:210:34:24

-Eleven!

-Yes!

0:34:240:34:26

-We watch it every Christmas.

-Eleven.

-She is brilliant.

-We watch that every Christmas.

0:34:290:34:34

Tricia and Debra, you have gone for White Christmas. Is that right? How many said it?

0:34:340:34:40

Absolutely right.

0:34:410:34:43

-Oh!

-77.

0:34:430:34:45

Well, we got there in the end after four questions. Toby and Kirsten, you are through, 2-1.

0:34:490:34:56

Special well played to Kirsten. Let's look at the other answers.

0:34:560:35:00

-AC was the big Aardman animated film from last year.

-Arthur Christmas.

0:35:000:35:05

Absolutely right. It scored 26.

0:35:050:35:08

SC is very, very tough. Surviving Christmas. It would have scored one.

0:35:080:35:13

-And MCML...

-I do know this one! Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence.

0:35:130:35:17

-Absolutely right. That scored eight points. Well done if you got those.

-Thank you, Richard.

0:35:170:35:23

So at the end of that round, the losing pair - Tricia and Debra.

0:35:230:35:29

We asked 100 people to name their favourite Debra impression. What do you think it was?

0:35:290:35:35

-Davina!

-Davina! It's got to be, definitely.

0:35:350:35:39

-It was Davina!

-Oh, my gosh. That was SO exciting. And you won.

0:35:390:35:44

But you lost. Sad, very sad.

0:35:440:35:47

Tricia and Debra, thank you so much for playing our celebrity special,

0:35:470:35:52

but for Toby and Kirsten, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:35:520:35:57

Well, congratulations. You have fought off all the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:36:010:36:08

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot. At the end of today's show, it stands at £2,750.

0:36:140:36:21

Listen, the rules are very simple. To win that for your charities,

0:36:260:36:30

all you have to do is find one pointless answer. We've had one.

0:36:300:36:35

Just find one more now and you'll leave with that money. First, you have to choose a category.

0:36:350:36:42

-Oh.

-Ooh.

-They're all pretty tempting.

0:36:480:36:51

-Sport...

-Oh, sports stars!

-Music awards.

-If it's in the '80s, we watched Question of Sport.

0:36:510:36:57

-Let's go sports stars.

-Really?

-Are you cool with that?

-Yeah.

-Brilliant.

0:36:570:37:01

-Sports stars.

-Sports stars.

-Let's find out what the question is.

0:37:010:37:06

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many winners of golf's majors since 2000 as they could.

0:37:060:37:12

-Golf's majors since 2000. Richard?

-We're looking for the name of any man to win one of the four majors

0:37:120:37:19

since the 2000 season - the Open, the US Open, the USPGA and Masters,

0:37:190:37:23

up to and including the 2012 US Masters. Very best of luck.

0:37:230:37:28

OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers. All you need to win £2,750

0:37:280:37:33

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

-Yes.

0:37:330:37:39

Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There. Your time starts now.

0:37:390:37:43

-OK.

-Is there someone called Seve Ballesteros?

-Yeah, but before 2000. He's not with us, God bless him.

0:37:430:37:49

-That's wasted.

-Right. It was a South African who won the British Open

0:37:490:37:54

about 2 or 3 years ago. Oost... I don't know how to pronounce it. I think it's Oosthuizen.

0:37:540:38:00

-It's a pronunciation problem.

-Monty somebody. Has he...?

0:38:000:38:04

Colin Montgomerie.

0:38:040:38:05

He hasn't won a major, sadly. That's his thing.

0:38:050:38:09

Em...Oosthuizen.

0:38:090:38:11

-Tiger must have.

-Yeah, but that's Tiger Woods.

0:38:110:38:16

-We have to come up with three.

-OK.

0:38:160:38:18

-I'm sort of not much use.

-There have been a couple...

-I said somebody from the '80s.

0:38:180:38:24

Who was the American...? The British Open.

0:38:240:38:28

-It's coming up 10 seconds left.

-What was his name? Em... Goodness me.

0:38:310:38:37

-Sorry I can't help.

-Gone blank.

0:38:370:38:40

Come on, Tobes.

0:38:400:38:42

OK, that's your time up. We were looking for the winners of golf's majors since 2000.

0:38:430:38:49

-I now need your three answers.

-It's Oosthuizen.

0:38:490:38:52

-Oosthuizen is the surname?

-Yep.

-We need a Christian name.

0:38:520:38:58

-John.

-John Oosthuizen. OK, we've got him.

0:38:580:39:02

-Tiger Woods.

-Tiger Woods. And thirdly...

0:39:020:39:05

-Thirdly, Rory McIlroy.

-Rory McIlroy. There we have three answers.

0:39:070:39:12

-Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?

-Oosthuizen.

0:39:120:39:16

We'll put him last. What is your least likely pointless answer?

0:39:160:39:20

-We'll go Rory.

-Rory McIlroy we'll put first, Tiger Woods second and John Oosthuizen is last.

0:39:200:39:27

We'll put them on the board and here they are.

0:39:270:39:32

There we are. We were looking for winners of golf's majors since 2000.

0:39:340:39:40

Rory McIlroy was your least confident answer to be pointless.

0:39:400:39:44

You only need one pointless answer to win that jackpot of £2,750.

0:39:440:39:48

So let's see. Rory McIlroy. Is it right? How many people said it?

0:39:480:39:53

Absolutely right.

0:39:550:39:57

That's the first thing it had to be. If this goes all the way to zero,

0:39:570:40:01

your charities will be £2,750 richer.

0:40:010:40:05

Oh, 28! 28.

0:40:050:40:07

Unfortunately, that's not a pointless answer. You have two more chances to win today's jackpot.

0:40:090:40:15

-Toby, what's your charity?

-The Prince's Trust.

-Very good indeed.

0:40:150:40:19

-Kirsten?

-Teesside Hospice.

-Teesside Hospice. Two excellent charities there.

0:40:190:40:25

OK, let's hope nobody said Tiger Woods. It has to be right and to be pointless.

0:40:290:40:35

£2,750 is riding on it. How many people said Tiger Woods?

0:40:350:40:39

Well, it's also right. Rory McIlroy took us down to 28.

0:40:410:40:45

-Tiger Woods...takes us to 66.

-Are you sure it's John?

0:40:450:40:49

-I guessed it. It's Oosthuizen.

-You only have one more chance. Everything is riding on John.

0:40:490:40:55

We are looking for winners of golf's majors since 2000. John Oosthuizen. Is that right?

0:40:550:41:03

For £2,750, how many people said John Oosthuizen?

0:41:030:41:07

Oh! Bad luck.

0:41:090:41:11

Bad luck.

0:41:110:41:13

Bad luck.

0:41:130:41:15

An incorrect answer, which means unfortunately you didn't find that all-important pointless answer,

0:41:180:41:24

so you don't win today's jackpot of £2,750. But you do go home with a wonderful Pointless trophy each,

0:41:240:41:30

so there we are. However, as it's a celebrity special, we'll donate £500 to each celebrity pair

0:41:300:41:37

-for their respective charities.

-Thank you very much.

0:41:370:41:41

-Thank you.

-This is the tough bit. Richard?

0:41:410:41:45

Tough luck. You just chose the wrong category. Very tough final question.

0:41:450:41:50

Oosthuizen's right. Won the 2010 Open, but it's Louis Oosthuizen.

0:41:500:41:55

He also lost the 2012 Masters to Bubba Watson.

0:41:550:41:59

-He would have scored 4 points.

-So we wouldn't have got it anyway.

-It wouldn't have won.

-A relief!

0:41:590:42:05

Let's look at some pointless answers. Winner of the 2003 Open, Ben Curtis.

0:42:050:42:10

David Toms won the 2001 USPGA, Geoff Ogilvy, the 2006 US Open.

0:42:100:42:16

Jim Furyk won the 2003 US Open, Keegan Bradley, the most recent name, won the 2011 USPGA.

0:42:160:42:22

Michael Campbell won the Open in 2005. Mike Weir won the US Masters in 2003.

0:42:220:42:29

Rich Beem, the 2002 USPGA champion.

0:42:290:42:31

And Todd Hamilton won the Open the year after Ben Curtis, in 2004.

0:42:310:42:36

There's four more. Retief Goosen, Shaun Micheel, Yang Yong-eun and Zach Johnson, all pointless.

0:42:360:42:42

Very well done if you said those at home.

0:42:420:42:46

Thank you very much indeed. We have to say goodbye, Toby and Kirsten, but it's been wonderful.

0:42:460:42:52

Thank you so much for playing. Brilliant contestants.

0:42:520:42:55

All that remains is for me to say thank you to all our celebrity pairs - Gabi and Monica,

0:42:570:43:03

Alex and Phil, Debra and Tricia and our brilliant finalists, Toby and Kirsten. Join us next time

0:43:030:43:09

-to test more obscure knowledge. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

0:43:090:43:13

And goodbye from me. Goodbye.
