0:00:22 > 0:00:24CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:28 > 0:00:32and welcome to a special Saturday evening celebrity edition of Pointless,
0:00:32 > 0:00:36the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Every question tonight has been asked to 100 people before the show.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43To have a chance of winning our final round jackpot,
0:00:43 > 0:00:48our celebrities need to find the answers that the fewest of those 100 people could think of.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Let's meet our Pointless Celebrities.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53APPLAUSE
0:00:53 > 0:00:57First up, please welcome Edwina Currie and Diane Abbott.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59APPLAUSE
0:01:03 > 0:01:08Now, Edwina, you're a former MP, also a novelist, a broadcaster,
0:01:08 > 0:01:13and Diane, you are still a Labour MP and currently Shadow Minister for Public Health,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15but you are also a broadcaster.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Edwina, we've seen you doing Strictly Come Dancing.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21You have indeed.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- Look at that.- That's about all I can do.- How long did you last, Edwina?
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Not very long. I hope I last longer on Pointless.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34I'm sure you will. Now, Diane, any current affairs questions you should be all over.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- I hope so.- And politics surely. - I hope so.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Edwina and Diane, it's lovely to have you on the show. Thank you very much for joining us.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Next, please welcome Jane McDonald and Dave Spikey.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47APPLAUSE
0:01:50 > 0:01:56Now, Jane, you are an actress and singer. You made your name on the docu-soap The Cruise.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- Mm-hm.- Occasionally, even a Loose Woman.- Hmm.
0:01:59 > 0:02:05And Dave, you were a team captain on 8 Out Of 10 Cats. Obviously, we know you from Phoenix Nights.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10- How do you know each other? Have you worked together?- We were evacuated together in the war!
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Our paths have crossed occasionally on Loose Women and stuff like that.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19I recently wrote a sitcom with Neil Fitzmaurice than Jane read a part for.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24- Jane and Dave, lovely to have you on the show. A warm welcome to you.- Thank you.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Next, please welcome Lizo Mzimba and Ellie Crisell.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32APPLAUSE
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Lizo, the entertainment correspondent for BBC News
0:02:39 > 0:02:43and obviously, both you and Ellie presented Newsround together.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48- Between us, most unpleasant person you've interviewed? - They're always really nice.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53- Yeah, most unpleasant, go on, who was it?- Seriously, though. - Just tell us.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58- I literally cannot think of anybody who hasn't been...- Yeah, yeah.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- I'm not joking.- Tell them later.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04As soon as you say, "We're from BBC News," they say, "Fantastic, BBC."
0:03:04 > 0:03:09Or, "You're the guy that used to do Newsround." Either way, it wins.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14Are you telling us that Tom Cruise says, "You're the guy that used to do Newsround"?
0:03:14 > 0:03:18He thought it was Blue Peter, but I pointed him in the right direction.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Ellie, you've stopped working on Newsround. You now work on news proper.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27I divide my time between the newsroom and being at home with my pre-school child,
0:03:27 > 0:03:31so I suppose my speciality areas are current affairs and CBeebies.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Peppa Pig. Very best of luck to you. It's lovely to have you on the show.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39And finally, we've got Kim Woodburn and Kerry Katona.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Now, Kim, you came second in the jungle in 2009
0:03:46 > 0:03:49and were half of the team that presented How Clean Is Your House?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- Kerry, Queen of the Jungle. - What can I say?
0:03:52 > 0:03:58Queen of the Jungle, Celebrity Big Brother, Dancing On Ice, Atomic Kitten, you've done it all.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- I have.- Is there anything you don't feel you'll be able to face up to?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I think all of it.
0:04:04 > 0:04:10- I'm actually really nervous about tonight.- Don't be. - I don't know anything, really.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Considering what I do as a living...
0:04:12 > 0:04:16My favourite subject, if it comes up, would be about myself.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21- At least she's honest! - I know all the answers to that.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25OK. Kim, how good would you be on Kerry Katona though?
0:04:25 > 0:04:30- I need subjects on How Clean Is Your House, I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here.- OK.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- Give me a mop and I'm anybody's! - Ooh!
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Best of luck, Kim and Kerry. It's lovely to have you here.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41We'll discover all your hidden knowledge throughout the show.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44There's only one person left to introduce.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49He sits there like an intelligent newsreader, making me feel like his weathergirl.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- He's my Pointless friend. He's Richard.- Hiya.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Hi, everybody. Hello, everyone.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58APPLAUSE
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Good evening to you. - Top of the evening to you.
0:05:04 > 0:05:10- Are you well?- I'm very well.- This is fun. Normally, we do this show with ordinary members of the public.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13And today, it's Kerry Katona versus Diane Abbott.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17These people are normally answers on the show, answers to our questions.
0:05:17 > 0:05:23A lot of people here have been answers on the show. You won't be answers this evening.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27If you give yourself as an answer, you've got it wrong. I'll warn you now.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- It should be fun.- I should say!
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Thanks, Richard. Our questions were put to 100 people before the show,
0:05:33 > 0:05:36but we want the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:05:36 > 0:05:42To be in with a chance of winning our jackpot, our celebrities must score as few points as they can.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47Everyone is trying to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55As this is a celebrity special and each celebrity is playing for a nominated charity,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58we start off with a jackpot of £2,500.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00APPLAUSE
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:06:09 > 0:06:15In this first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:06:15 > 0:06:21The pair with the highest score at the end of the round is eliminated, so try and make sure it's not you.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24OK, our first category today is...
0:06:26 > 0:06:31Bands. Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41OK, our question concerns...
0:06:44 > 0:06:50- Richard?- In a moment, Zander is going to show you a board with the names of six famous bands.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54We need you to tell us any member of any of those six bands.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59A nice, obscure answer will score fewer points. An incorrect answer will score 100 points.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08Edwina and Diane, you all drew lots before the show and today, you are going first.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11So here are our six bands and they are...
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I'll read those all one last time.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Now then, Edwina...
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Well, I actually went to school with a couple of The Beatles.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35- I didn't know that.- That's the only group of which I could name all four.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40On the other hand, I've worked with members of McFly and Queen.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43So I'd like to try McFly if I may.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48- Harry Rudd.- Harry Rudd, says Edwina. Harry Rudd.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Harry Rudd.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Oh!
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Oh, Edwina!- It's Harry something else, isn't it?
0:08:00 > 0:08:06- Careful now. Someone else might want to go for it. That's an incorrect answer. I'm sorry.- Sorry!
0:08:06 > 0:08:12- That scores you the maximum of 100 points.- Sorry, Edwina. I wonder who Edwina's been working with?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14LAUGHTER
0:08:14 > 0:08:19- Dave... - You know you get to a certain age and your mind goes blank?
0:08:19 > 0:08:23You remember people's initials, but not their names for some reason.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27I'll go McFly cos when you said Harry, I thought... Harry Styles.
0:08:27 > 0:08:33Harry Styles, says Dave. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many of our 100 said Harry Styles.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I'm afraid that's also an incorrect answer, Dave.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43- Who's Harry Styles?- That scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- This is going terrifically well(!) - LAUGHTER
0:08:46 > 0:08:53Harry Styles is from One Direction, Dave. Come on, Dave, you know One Direction!
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Now then, Ellie...
0:08:55 > 0:09:01There's a few I know, but given how well it's going so far, I'm going to take a punt at McFly as well.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04I'm going to go for Harry Judd from McFly.
0:09:04 > 0:09:10Harry Judd, says Ellie. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many of our 100 said Harry Judd.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14It's right.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Very well done indeed, Ellie.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- APPLAUSE - That's more like it.
0:09:23 > 0:09:264 points for Harry Judd.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Finally, the mystery of what Harry from McFly is called has been solved - Harry Judd.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36He's the drummer from McFly and won the 2011 Strictly Come Dancing.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Now then, Kerry...
0:09:38 > 0:09:40I haven't got a clue.
0:09:40 > 0:09:46The only band I can think of is The Beatles and I'm trying to think who was the least popular one.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47I'm going to go...
0:09:47 > 0:09:51George Harrison. Agh!
0:09:51 > 0:09:57George Harrison, you are saying. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many said George Harrison.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- It's right.- Yes!
0:10:01 > 0:10:0356.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06It's a whole lot better than 100, Kerry. 56.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11- 56 is an alarmingly low score for George Harrison.- For a Beatle, yeah.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Thanks very much. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19Very much the best score of the pass was yours, Ellie, a lovely low score of 4,
0:10:19 > 0:10:23then we travel up to 56 where we find Kerry and Kim,
0:10:23 > 0:10:28then up to 100 where Edwina and Diane and Dave and Jane are to be found.
0:10:28 > 0:10:34Jane and Diane, it's a tussle between you to see who will leave us after this round. Very best of luck.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:41 > 0:10:45We are looking for members of these famous quartets. Kim...
0:10:45 > 0:10:50The high scorers are Diane and Edwina and Jane and Dave on 100. You're on 56.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54If you score 43 or less, you will avoid becoming the high scorers yourselves.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58So we are looking for any member of these famous four-piece bands.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Freddie Mercury, Queen?
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Freddie Mercury, says Kim. Let's see if that's right.
0:11:06 > 0:11:12If you get below that red line, you are through to the next round. Will Freddie Mercury get you below it?
0:11:15 > 0:11:1764.
0:11:18 > 0:11:2364 takes your total up to 120, Kim. That might be good enough to see you through.
0:11:23 > 0:11:29- Freddie Mercury scoring higher than George Harrison?- Yeah, but he's the first name you think of in Queen.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34- Makes the end of the round very interesting. There's three teams in it now.- Thank you, Richard.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39Lizo, 4 is your score, courtesy of Ellie's brilliant answer in the first pass.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Even if you score 100 points, you are still through to the next round
0:11:42 > 0:11:46because you won't overtake Kim and Kerry on 120.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48So, shall we maybe see if we can find a pointless answer?
0:11:48 > 0:11:50It's really weird at these times.
0:11:50 > 0:11:56Your memory plays tricks and things you were certain of ten minutes ago, you're not certain of any more.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I'm going to go for Queen and John Deacon.
0:11:59 > 0:12:06John Deacon, says Lizo. There's no red line for you, but let's see how many people said John Deacon.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Absolutely right.
0:12:13 > 0:12:159. Very well done indeed.
0:12:15 > 0:12:199 for John Deacon. It takes your total up to 13.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Well played, Lizo. Your job is safe. What a terrific score, 13 between them!
0:12:26 > 0:12:29He's the Queen bassist, the youngest member of Queen.
0:12:29 > 0:12:34Now then, Jane, we now have a contest on our hands. We need a brilliant low score from you.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36I love Queen, my favourite band.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39I'll go Roger Taylor cos I've got a thing about drummers.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Roger Taylor - how many people said it?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51You've done it! Very well done - 13.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54APPLAUSE Thank God for that!
0:12:54 > 0:12:59Drummers have served you well, Jane. That takes your total up to 113. Well done.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04- That's a great answer. Dave, you look very relieved. - Yes.- Roger Taylor's the drummer.
0:13:04 > 0:13:11- He also wrote Radio Ga Ga, A Kind Of Magic and These Are The Days Of Our Lives.- Thanks, Richard.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Diane, the moment of truth. The high score is 120 from Kim and Kerry.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20You are on 100. If you can score 19 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24I'm going to go for Led Zeppelin.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26I'm going to go for Jimmy Page.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Jimmy Page, says Diane for Led Zeppelin.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Your red line is quite low.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36That's how far down Jimmy Page has to take you. How many people said it? Is it right?
0:13:37 > 0:13:39It's correct.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45You've done it. Wow, 12!
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- APPLAUSE - 12! What about that?
0:13:48 > 0:13:54Brilliant answer, Diane! Jimmy Page takes your total up to 112 and sees you into the next round.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Brilliant end to the round. - Well played, Diane.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Any member of Led Zeppelin would have seen you through.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05Robert Plant scored 17, John Paul Jones scored 6 and John Bonham 9.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08No pointless answers on this board.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Let's take a look at the most popular answers, the ones that most of our people said.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Other big scorers - Freddie Mercury with 64, Brian May scored 43.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28- Chris Martin of Coldplay scored 29.- Thanks very much, Richard.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33At the end of our first round, our losing pair with their high score of 120 points,
0:14:33 > 0:14:35I'm afraid it's Kim and Kerry.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- AUDIENCE: Aw! - Oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- I was thinking this was a gift for you.- No.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44If it was for anyone, it was for you, this round.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48- That's what I thought.- No. - Two correct answers.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53- Two good answers.- We tried. We had lots of fun.- A great deal of fun. It's been wonderful.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55It's been lovely having you on our celebrity special.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Brilliant contestants. Thank you! - APPLAUSE
0:14:58 > 0:15:03But for the remaining three celebrity pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11There's only going to be room for two celebrity pairs in our head-to-head round,
0:15:11 > 0:15:14so one pair will be leaving us.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19Very best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Film Duos. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:15:25 > 0:15:28And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33OK, our question concerns...
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- Richard?- This is a round about famous on-screen partnerships.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44On each pass, we'll show you the names of six actresses
0:15:44 > 0:15:50with the name of the film in which they first starred with someone they had an on-screen partnership with.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Can you name their famous film partner?
0:15:52 > 0:15:57A nice, obscure answer will score fewer points. An incorrect answer will score 100 points.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01There will be 12 across two passes to have a go at at home. Good luck.
0:16:01 > 0:16:07OK, we are looking for the names of the actors who complete these famous film partnerships.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09We have got on our first board...
0:16:25 > 0:16:27I'll read those all one last time.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44There we are, six actresses and the names
0:16:44 > 0:16:48of the first films in which they formed long-term film partnerships.
0:16:48 > 0:16:55Diane, can you supply the name of the actor of the most obscure partnership you can find?
0:16:55 > 0:17:01- Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. - Spencer Tracy, says Diane, for Katharine Hepburn.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people knew that answer - Spencer Tracy.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08It's right.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12It's a good answer, Diane.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Down it goes, 11. Very well done.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16APPLAUSE
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Good answer - 11 for Spencer Tracy.
0:17:19 > 0:17:26Another good answer from Diane. They appeared in nine films together, Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30- Now then, Dave, is this good for you?- No, no, no.
0:17:30 > 0:17:36On films, I'm hopeless. That was the one I would have gone for. It's easy to say that after the event.
0:17:36 > 0:17:42- It is.- And there's one that you think, "I know, but that's probably the most obscure, so do I gamble?"
0:17:42 > 0:17:45I'm going to go with Maureen O'Hara
0:17:45 > 0:17:48and John Wayne.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Maureen O'Hara, John Wayne, says Dave.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people knew that answer - John Wayne.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Very well done, Dave.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- 19.- Well done.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- APPLAUSE - Well done.- Not bad at all.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- 19 for John Wayne.- Well played, Dave. That's a terrific answer.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16John Wayne called Maureen O'Hara "the only woman in his life he could call a real friend".
0:18:18 > 0:18:23Ellie, we are looking for the names of the actors who complete these famous on-screen partnerships.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26You're the last person to have this board, so you can take us through it.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31I'm now doubting myself because the one I was going to go for,
0:18:31 > 0:18:36I'm now thinking that actually in that particular film, it wasn't that particular partnership,
0:18:36 > 0:18:39so I think I'm going to have to go for something a bit more obvious -
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Sylvester Stallone in Rocky.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46OK, you're going to say Sylvester Stallone for Talia Shire.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it - Sylvester Stallone.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53It's right.
0:18:57 > 0:18:5832.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01APPLAUSE
0:19:01 > 0:19:0332 for Sylvester Stallone.
0:19:03 > 0:19:09Well played, Ellie. Good answer. She's in the first five Rocky films, Talia Shire. Plays Adrian.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13She was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress for the first one.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17She's Francis Ford Coppola's sister and Nicolas Cage's aunt.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22- I never knew that.- Francis Ford Coppola's sister.- Brilliant. - That's nice.- That is nice.
0:19:22 > 0:19:28- Let's go through the board. Which other one were you tempted to go for?- Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33- But I suddenly doubted... - No, that's right. These are their most famous partnerships.
0:19:33 > 0:19:39It was Fred Astaire, but that would have scored 42 points, so Sylvester Stallone was a better answer.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Liz Taylor is Richard Burton. That would have scored 48.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45And Judy Garland, do you know that?
0:19:45 > 0:19:50- I don't, I'm afraid.- We do! Mickey Rooney.- It is Mickey Rooney, Jane.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55- Absolutely right. Terrific answer. 2 points as well.- Oh, damn it! That's the only thing I'll know.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00- It would have been the best answer on the board as well. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:20:04 > 0:20:1011, very much the best score of that pass, Diane, so Diane and Edwina looking pretty strong at this stage,
0:20:10 > 0:20:15then up to 19 where we find Jane and Dave, again not bad. 32, Ellie...
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Lizo, we need a good, low-scoring answer from you
0:20:18 > 0:20:20and hope that keeps you in the game. Best of luck.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:20:26 > 0:20:30We'll put six more film partnerships on the board.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31We have got...
0:20:45 > 0:20:47I will read those all one last time.
0:20:58 > 0:21:05There we are. We are looking for the names of the actors who complete these famous film partnerships.
0:21:05 > 0:21:11Lizo, you need to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew. You're the high scorers on 32.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14What do you make of that board?
0:21:14 > 0:21:19It's tricky trying to get the most obscure one from the ones that you think you know.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24Sondra Locke, The Outlaw Josey Wales, and Clint Eastwood.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Clint Eastwood for Sondra Locke, says Lizo.
0:21:27 > 0:21:33There's no red line for you because you're the high scorers. Let's see how far down the board it takes you.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Absolutely right.
0:21:39 > 0:21:4137.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43APPLAUSE
0:21:43 > 0:21:4537. Takes your total up to 69.
0:21:45 > 0:21:50Good answer, but another pretty big score. She appeared in six films with Clint Eastwood.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54Had a 12-year relationship with him which didn't end well.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Now then, Jane, the high scorers are Lizo and Ellie.
0:21:58 > 0:22:04If you can score 49 or less... 49 or less, Jane, you're through to the next round.
0:22:04 > 0:22:11OK. I'm going for Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, The Long Hot Summer.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14OK, Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, says Jane.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19Here is your red line. If you can get below that, you are through.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Paul Newman. Is it right?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Absolutely right.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Through you go to the next round.
0:22:28 > 0:22:3016!
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Superb. Takes your total to 35. Very well done.
0:22:34 > 0:22:40- Oh, my God.- Well played, Jane. They starred in 10 films together and were married for 50 years.
0:22:40 > 0:22:47Now, Edwina, you are on 11. The high scorers on 69 are Lizo and Ellie.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Score 57 or less and you're in our Head to Head.
0:22:50 > 0:22:56We are looking for the names of the actors who complete these famous screen partnerships.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59I'm not entirely sure about the Vivien Leigh one.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04I haven't the foggiest idea about Nicole Kidman or Veronica Lake,
0:23:04 > 0:23:09- so I'm going to go for To Have And Have Not, Humphrey Bogart. - Humphrey Bogart says Edwina.
0:23:09 > 0:23:17Let's see if that's right. Below that red line, you are through. How many people said Humphrey Bogart?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Absolutely right.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23And you're through. Very well done.
0:23:23 > 0:23:28Down it goes - 24. Taking your total up to 35.
0:23:31 > 0:23:36Well played, Edwina. Another good answer. They married the next year.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39She was 19, he was 45.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43- He was still gorgeous. - Aww, isn't that sweet?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- LAUGHTER - It's certainly something.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Let's take a look through the rest.
0:23:50 > 0:23:56Nicole Kidman - that's the biggest scorer. It's Tom Cruise, of course. 47 points.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00- Vivien Leigh. Do you know that one? - Laurence Oliver.- Right. Two points.
0:24:00 > 0:24:06And Veronica Lake is a pointless answer. Very well done anyone at home who said Alan Ladd.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11Alan Ladd. Who is also the drummer in McFly.
0:24:12 > 0:24:18Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So our losing celebrity pair with a high score of 69
0:24:18 > 0:24:24is Lizo and Ellie. And a film round as well! But they were quite tough.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Brilliant contestants - Lizo and Ellie.
0:24:29 > 0:24:36But for the two remaining celebrity pairs things get even more exciting as we enter the Head to Head.
0:24:39 > 0:24:45Congratulations, Edwina and Diane, Jane and Dave. You are only one round away from the final
0:24:45 > 0:24:49and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £2,500.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57The first pair to win two questions plays for that jackpot,
0:24:57 > 0:25:03but the big news is you are now allowed to confer. Oh, it's very close.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08When we add up all your points, there's only one point between you. That's how good you both are.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Well, very best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the Head to Head.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:25:22 > 0:25:24hats. It concerns hats. Richard?
0:25:24 > 0:25:31I'll show you five pictures of famous people wearing different hats. Can you name the headgear?
0:25:31 > 0:25:35OK, let's reveal our five hats and here they come. We have got...
0:25:49 > 0:25:51So there we are. Five hats.
0:25:52 > 0:25:57This is one of the best rounds we've ever done! Like types of lettuce.
0:25:57 > 0:26:03- I know Dave didn't want bands or films, but he looked forward to hats.- Definitely.
0:26:03 > 0:26:09Edwina and Diane, you - by one point - have played best so far, so you get to go first.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15- What about Tommy Cooper? That's a fez. F-E-Z.- Mm.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18All right. Go with what you want.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21I think we're going to go for A.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23And he's wearing a deerstalker.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27OK, A, deerstalker say Edwina and Diane.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32A, deerstalker. Jane and Dave, talk us through the board and then pick one.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Well, C, no idea. It looks like a bucket on her head.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38It's finding the most obscure of the other three.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42- Are we going for D? - D, yeah, fez.- Go for D, fez.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47OK. D, fez. So we have A, deerstalker, and D, fez.
0:26:47 > 0:26:54Edwina and Diane said A was a deerstalker. Is that right? How many people said deerstalker?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57It's right.
0:26:58 > 0:26:5965.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06So Jane and Dave have said fez for D.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Let's see if fez is right and how many people said it.
0:27:10 > 0:27:1365 is what you've got to beat.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Well, it's right.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Oh, 70!
0:27:20 > 0:27:2770 for fez, which means, Edwina and Diane, after one question you are up one-nil. Richard?
0:27:27 > 0:27:33- What would you have said for E? - Sombrero?- Yeah, and it would have won the point by a mile.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Thanks for your help, Richard(!)
0:27:35 > 0:27:41- What was the Pope doing in a sombrero?- It's not Photoshopped. Genuinely, the Pope in a sombrero.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46- He's got such a sense of fun. - Hasn't he? Little Benedict.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50He was on... No, that's on a stag do.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52LAUGHTER
0:27:52 > 0:27:56B was the bowler. That wouldn't have won. It would have scored 71.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59And C is a cloche.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03That's the best answer up there and would have scored 11 points.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- Catherine Zeta Jones there. - Catherine Zeta Jones!- It is.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10OK, well, there we are. Edwina and Diane are up one-nil.
0:28:10 > 0:28:16Here comes your second question. Jane and Dave, you have to win this to stay in the game.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19It concerns...potatoes.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26What we're going to do now is give you anagrams of five dishes made of or containing potatoes.
0:28:26 > 0:28:32- Can you unscramble the anagrams and give us the most obscure answer? - Wow.- I know!
0:28:32 > 0:28:36OK, let's reveal our five potato dishes in anagram form.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38HE READS THE LIST
0:28:44 > 0:28:47I'll read those all one last time.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56Now then, Jane and Dave, you go first this time.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02I can't see Shepherd's Pie up there!
0:29:04 > 0:29:07- I'll stick my neck out.- Go on!
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Elect Rat is raclette.
0:29:10 > 0:29:15Raclette, say Jane and Dave for Elect Rat. Raclette.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Edwina and Diane, it's your turn.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22Well...there's one that we both think that we know,
0:29:22 > 0:29:28which is Debunk A Squabble. I have to confess that I can't recognise the others. Diane?
0:29:28 > 0:29:31No, I can't.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34So we'll go for Debunk A Squabble.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39- Which is?- Bubble and Squeak. - Raclette versus Bubble and Squeak.
0:29:39 > 0:29:44Jane and Dave have gone for raclette. Let's see if it's right.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48This will decide whether or not you stay in the game.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50It's right!
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Oh, it's a good one.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59Oh, look at that! It's a pointless answer! Very, very well done.
0:29:59 > 0:30:04Raclette adds £250 to today's total.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06It takes the total up to £2,750.
0:30:06 > 0:30:11Very, very well done. It scores you nothing,
0:30:11 > 0:30:15making you almost impossible for Edwina and Diane to beat,
0:30:15 > 0:30:22but who knows? We could see something extraordinary with Bubble and Squeak.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Bubble and Squeak - how many people have said that?
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Well, it's right.
0:30:32 > 0:30:3339.
0:30:35 > 0:30:40There's no arguing with raclette. Very well done, Jane and Dave.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44- After two questions it's one-all. - Terrific answer, Dave.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46It's cheese mixed with potatoes.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50- Did you know any of the others? - Rosti.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54Absolutely right. The top one. That would have scored 15.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58- Colcannon.- Absolutely right. Irish potato dish. 20.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02- And Poetic Gate? - I never looked at that. No.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06- Cottage Pie. - Oh! I were nearly there!
0:31:06 > 0:31:08- I were nearly there.- Nearly there.
0:31:09 > 0:31:14But you got a pointless answer, so it all turned out OK in the end.
0:31:14 > 0:31:19So here comes your third question. Win this to go through.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23This is our decider. Best of luck to both pairs. And it concerns... It concerns Greece.
0:31:23 > 0:31:29- Greece, Richard.- We'll give you five clues to facts about Greece. The most obscure answer goes through.
0:31:29 > 0:31:35- Very best of luck, both teams. - Let's reveal our five clues to facts about Greece.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47I will read those all one last time.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00There we are. Five clues to facts about Greece. Edwina and Diane?
0:32:00 > 0:32:05- Do that one. - Em, first name of its last king.
0:32:05 > 0:32:10- King Constantine. - Constantine, say Edwina and Diane.
0:32:10 > 0:32:16Constantine. The first name of its last king. Jane and Dave, the board is yours.
0:32:16 > 0:32:21I think that's a great answer. It's difficult to beat, that one.
0:32:21 > 0:32:26- I think its largest island is Crete. - Yeah, go for that. Largest island, Crete.
0:32:26 > 0:32:31- OK, largest island, Crete, say Jane and Dave. - No, I've changed my mind...
0:32:31 > 0:32:38- Oh.- Can I change my mind? - I'm afraid you can't. - Oh, flippin' heck.- I'm sorry.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42- Is there one bigger? - What were you going to change it to?
0:32:42 > 0:32:45It was that or Olympus, the mountain. I'm happy with Crete.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48OK, Edwina and Diane have said Constantine,
0:32:48 > 0:32:52the first name of its last king. Let's see how many people said it.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Absolutely right.
0:33:00 > 0:33:0213.
0:33:07 > 0:33:13- 13. So, Jane and Dave, that's what you have to beat. - We've got no chance here now!
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Let's find out. Is it right? How many said it? Crete.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Well, it's right.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24Is it going to go down lower than 13?
0:33:24 > 0:33:27No, it's not! 24!
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Bad luck, Jane and Dave.
0:33:31 > 0:33:37That means, after three questions, Edwina and Diane are through to the final, 2-1. Well done.
0:33:42 > 0:33:48Well played. King Constantine was king from 1964 to 1973. One of Prince William's godfathers.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53- Jane, you very nearly changed your answer to Mount Olympus.- Yeah.
0:33:53 > 0:33:58If you had...you'd have scored 19, so you wouldn't have gone through.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00- So phew!- Phew, yeah.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04I like the way you did that. Very reality show.
0:34:04 > 0:34:10- Do you think?- "If you'd said that... you'd still be going!" Oh, that's... - Do you think?- Yeah, yeah.
0:34:10 > 0:34:15- I should have left it. - A pause, yeah. Do it again. - I'll do it now.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18- Jane...- Yeah?
0:34:18 > 0:34:23..if I asked you what the capital of Greece is, what would you answer?
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Athens.
0:34:28 > 0:34:36- Jane, I asked you what is the capital of Greece. You said to me Athens.- Yeah.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38I can tell you...
0:34:39 > 0:34:40Athens is a correct answer.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47And it scored...
0:34:52 > 0:34:57- 82 points. - Oh, wow. 82. Very good. Wow.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59APPLAUSE
0:34:59 > 0:35:03- Don't do that again, Richard! Never again.- Tense, isn't it?
0:35:03 > 0:35:09You would've actually won the point if you'd given us the year it first held the modern Olympics. Dave?
0:35:09 > 0:35:13- 1896. - Oh, 1896 is the right answer!
0:35:13 > 0:35:16- It says so.- He just saw it. LAUGHTER
0:35:18 > 0:35:22Very good indeed. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26- So our losing pair is Jane and Dave! - Never mind.- Awww.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30- Never mind. I enjoyed that, though. - Do it again now, can we?
0:35:30 > 0:35:35Well, you played fantastically. It's been lovely having you.
0:35:35 > 0:35:36Jane and Dave!
0:35:39 > 0:35:43But for Edwina and Diane, it's time for our Pointless final!
0:35:46 > 0:35:53Congratulations, Edwina and Diane. You have fought off the competition to win our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01So very well done.
0:36:01 > 0:36:08You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot. The jackpot stands at £2,750.
0:36:13 > 0:36:19We've taken you round the houses. We've had hats, we've had potato dishes. It's been wonderful.
0:36:19 > 0:36:24What would you like in this round? What would be great?
0:36:24 > 0:36:29- Politicians! - I don't know why I even asked. I walked straight into that.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33To win the money, just find a pointless answer.
0:36:33 > 0:36:39We've already had one today. Find one now and you will leave with that money for your charities.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43First, choose a category. You have five options. They are...
0:36:52 > 0:36:58Albums of the Noughties probably not quite my time. I don't know about Diane's.
0:36:58 > 0:37:03Oscar-winning films. I would probably do a Harry Rudd again.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07I'd get the right one, but get one letter wrong.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Moons?
0:37:09 > 0:37:13The only one I can think of is Keith Moon from The Rolling Stones.
0:37:13 > 0:37:19Countries and Capitals, they'll have probably changed it by the time we think about it.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23So English Playwrights looks like a good bet for us.
0:37:23 > 0:37:30Let's find out what our question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Noel Coward plays
0:37:30 > 0:37:32as they could. Noel Coward plays.
0:37:32 > 0:37:37We're looking for the title of any plays written or co-written by Noel Coward
0:37:37 > 0:37:42between 1917 and 1968, according to the Noel Coward Estate.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46So the title of any Noel Coward play. Very best of luck.
0:37:46 > 0:37:53You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers and all you need to win £2,750
0:37:53 > 0:37:58is for just one to be pointless. Are you ready? OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Your time starts now.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Private Lives.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Blithe Spirit.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09- Hay Fever. - You've got a minute to...
0:38:09 > 0:38:14Those are the ones we're pretty sure of. He did a lot of obscure stuff.
0:38:14 > 0:38:21I would hesitate... He did wonderful movies like In Which We Serve and so on,
0:38:21 > 0:38:26but I don't think they were films... er, I don't think they were plays.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30And I go blank apart from any others. Diane?
0:38:30 > 0:38:35- Which one should we choose, do you reckon?- Oh, the most obscure?
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- We want three answers from you. - Those are our three answers.- OK.
0:38:39 > 0:38:45We will stop the clock there on 21 seconds. Noel Coward plays. I now need your three answers.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- Hay Fever.- Hay Fever.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52- Blithe Spirit.- Blithe Spirit.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55- Private Lives.- Private Lives. OK.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:59 > 0:39:03- Blithe Spirit.- OK, put it last. Which would you like to put first?
0:39:03 > 0:39:08- Which is least likely to be pointless?- Private Lives.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12OK, let's put those up in that order. And here they come.
0:39:15 > 0:39:20We were looking for Noel Coward plays. Private Lives you thought was least likely to be pointless.
0:39:20 > 0:39:27You only need one pointless answer to win that jackpot of £2,750 for your charities.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30How many people said Private Lives?
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Well, it's right.
0:39:34 > 0:39:41That was the first thing it had to be. If this goes down to zero, you leave here with £2,750.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45Still going down into single figures. Four! Very well done.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49That's a great score.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53Sadly, we're only interested in pointless answers at this stage.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57You only have two more chances. Edwina, what's your charity?
0:39:57 > 0:40:04My charity is Blythe House Hospice in the High Peak, very close to where I live. They do a great job.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Very good.
0:40:10 > 0:40:15- And, Diane, what's your charity? - The Sickle Cell Society.
0:40:15 > 0:40:21Sickle cell is a very horrible blood disease. A lot of people in my constituency suffer from it.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25- I want to raise some money for them. - OK, very well done.
0:40:27 > 0:40:34Two excellent charities there. Let's hope one of your two remaining answers wins them that jackpot.
0:40:34 > 0:40:40We are looking for Noel Coward plays. Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Hay Fever.
0:40:40 > 0:40:45This has to be correct and pointless. So, for £2,750, how many people said Hay Fever?
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Well, it's right.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53Your first answer took us all the way down to four.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57Let's see how far Hay Fever can take us. Still going down.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Into single figures... Six!
0:40:59 > 0:41:02They're both brilliant scores.
0:41:06 > 0:41:12OK, so not a pointless answer. You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:41:12 > 0:41:19Everything is riding on your third answer, Blithe Spirit. This was your most confident shot.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22It has to be pointless to win that £2,750.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26Let's find out. Blithe Spirit - is it a pointless answer? Good luck.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32Again, it's right. Three correct answers.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36Private Lives took us down to four. Hay Fever took us down to six.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40Blithe Spirit now taking us down... Oh, 18!
0:41:44 > 0:41:51Bad luck. Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find a pointless answer, so you don't win today's jackpot,
0:41:51 > 0:41:55but you do go home with a Pointless trophy each. However...
0:41:55 > 0:42:03as it's a celebrity special, we'll donate £500 to each celebrity pair for their respective charities.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06A gesture from Pointless.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12- Now, Richard.- Tough luck. You were terrific throughout.
0:42:12 > 0:42:18You settled on those very quickly. There might be some pointless answers that you know. Let's look.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22Come Into The Garden, Maud, a satire on vulgar Americans.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Design For Living, Easy Virtue,
0:42:25 > 0:42:29Look After Lulu, Mild Oats, an early one-act play,
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Post Mortem, also pointless,
0:42:32 > 0:42:38Relative Values was pointless, Still Life and his first big success, The Vortex, also pointless.
0:42:38 > 0:42:44Some Other Private Lives was also pointless. Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:44 > 0:42:50Thanks very much, indeed. We do have to say goodbye, but it's been wonderful having you.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54Thank you so much for playing. Thank you.
0:42:56 > 0:43:02All that remains is to say thank you to all our celebrities - Kim and Kerry, Lizo and Ellie, Jane and Dave
0:43:02 > 0:43:05and our finalists, Edwina and Diane.
0:43:08 > 0:43:12Join us next time when we put more obscure knowledge to the test.
0:43:12 > 0:43:17- Meanwhile, goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.- And goodbye from me. Goodbye.
