0:00:23 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:24 > 0:00:27and a very warm welcome to a special celebrity edition of Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:30the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's Pointless Celebrities.
0:00:32 > 0:00:37APPLAUSE
0:00:37 > 0:00:38Couple number one.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41I'm Oliver Phelps and I'm here with my brother, James,
0:00:41 > 0:00:44and we met about 26 years ago in my mum's womb.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Since then, we've been acting and you probably recognise us
0:00:47 > 0:00:48from the Harry Potter series.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Couple number two.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Yes, well, I'm Peter Purves
0:00:57 > 0:01:00and this is my dear little friend John Noakes.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03I spent ten and a half years trying to keep him under control on Blue Peter.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05I'm still having to do it. Here, behave yourself.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:12 > 0:01:14And couple number three.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18This is Janet Street-Porter. I'm Christopher Biggins
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- and I'm an honorary Loose Woman. - Exactly.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:24 > 0:01:26And our fourth and final couple.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27Good evening. I'm Ricky Groves.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29This beautiful creature is Natalie Cassidy.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32You probably might know us from such obscure programmes
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- such as EastEnders and Strictly Come Dancing.- Excellent.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Thank you all very much indeed. These are our contestants.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Thank you all very much indeed.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47We'll be finding out more about you throughout the show,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50as it goes along. There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52He's here to prove this game isn't rocket science,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55apart from today's round on rocket science.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56It's my Pointless friend,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Hello. Hello.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Can you believe we've got
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Peter Purves and John Noakes in the studio?- No.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Isn't that brilliant? Genuinely a childhood dream come true.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11And this is the studio where you filmed lots of Blue Peter -
0:02:11 > 0:02:15- Studio 6 at the BBC.- It is, yeah. We did all the big studios here, yeah.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18But also, to have John Noakes and Christopher Biggins on the same show,
0:02:18 > 0:02:22we know... It could be a long evening I suspect, don't you think?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24LAUGHTER
0:02:24 > 0:02:26There we go. Now, all our questions on Pointless
0:02:26 > 0:02:28have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Our contestants here need to find the obscure answers
0:02:30 > 0:02:31those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Now, everyone's trying to find a pointless answer
0:02:34 > 0:02:35that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38And each time that happens we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Now, as today's show is a celebrity special,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43and each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity,
0:02:43 > 0:02:45we start off with a jackpot of...
0:02:47 > 0:02:51CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:51 > 0:02:54So, right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01OK, in this round I'll take an answer from each of you.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02There's to be no conferring.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04And whichever pair has the highest score
0:03:04 > 0:03:06at the end of the round will be eliminated
0:03:06 > 0:03:08so try and make sure that is not you.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10OK, our first category today is...
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:03:15 > 0:03:16who's going to go second?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24OK. And our question concerns...
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Famous people whose surnames begin with M. Richard.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35On each pass, we're going to give you seven clues
0:03:35 > 0:03:37to famous people throughout history whose surnames begin with M.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41If you can identify a nice obscure one you'll score fewer points,
0:03:41 > 0:03:43but give us an incorrect answer, you'll score 100 points.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at, at home. Good luck.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49OK. So we're looking for the names of these famous people
0:03:49 > 0:03:50hinted at by these clues.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53All their surnames start with M and here is our first board of seven.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I will read all of those again.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Now, James, there we are.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Welcome to Pointless, great to have you here.- Thank you.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Now, you and Oliver have had a fantastic, fantastic ride
0:04:45 > 0:04:48for the last...I guess, what, 12, 14 years?
0:04:48 > 0:04:5012...yeah, we started filming the Potters in 2000.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- And the last one came out in 2011. So...- Brilliant.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56As the two older Weasley brothers, the twins.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Can you go anywhere in the world and not be recognised?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01With this colour hair, yeah.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Cos everyone thinks we're ginger. - Yeah, good trick.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06I've actually... Well, we were filming, I think we'd just
0:05:06 > 0:05:09finished filming the second movie, and went on holiday to Mexico.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13And I was swimming in the sea and actually had ginger hair at the time.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14And this lady swam out to me and said,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17"Are you in Harry Potter?" And I was just in the ocean like, "Yeah."
0:05:17 > 0:05:19She went, "Oh. OK, great." And just swam back.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22LAUGHTER
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Very good. Now then, James,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26how are we feeling about these people beginning with M?
0:05:26 > 0:05:32I'm going to go for the top one - was born Farrokh Bulshara...Bulsara.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- I believe that was Freddie Mercury. - Freddie Mercury, says James.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Freddie Mercury - let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:05:38 > 0:05:40let's see how many of our 100 people said Freddie Mercury.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45It is absolutely right.
0:05:50 > 0:05:5115!
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- APPLAUSE - 15, that's a great score.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59- 15 for Freddie Mercury. - Great start, James. Very well done.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Yeah, spent the bulk of his childhood in India at boarding school,
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Freddie Mercury.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08- Now then, Peter.- Yes.- Peter, a very, very warm Pointless welcome to you.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09- Thank you.- Great to have you here.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12I mean, two, as you said, two proper stars from the 1970s.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16- Thank you.- Blue Peter watched by colossal audiences.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18It's fabulous to have you here.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- Of course, we know you more recently from hosting Crufts...- Yes.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- ..which you've done for a number of years. Are you...?- 34.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Wow. Very good indeed. And what are you up to these days, Peter?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30I'm doing quite a lot of things with Doctor Who
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- because of course I was in that as well.- Of course, you were.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35We did that here as well but this studio wasn't built then.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Steven Taylor you played in Doctor Who.- I was, yeah.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39That was even pre-Blue Peter.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- It was, yeah.- Wow. Who's your Doctor?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- William Hartnell, the First Doctor. - Very good indeed.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46How exciting. Well, OK, here we are.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48We have this board of people beginning with M.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- There are six of them left there, Peter.- Yeah, it was a good shout.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54I would have gone with the top one but I think I'll go for...
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Karl Marx -
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Das Kapital, Communist Manifesto. - Karl Marx, says Peter.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00Karl Marx, the author of
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Das Kapital and The Communist Manifesto.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:07:03 > 0:07:05let's see how many people said Karl Marx.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09It's absolutely right.
0:07:09 > 0:07:1015 is our lowest score so far.
0:07:10 > 0:07:1254.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15APPLAUSE
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- It's a correct answer but it's a popular one.- Well played, Peter.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Absolutely right, he wrote alongside Friedrich Engels.
0:07:22 > 0:07:28- Now then, Janet.- Yes.- Janet, welcome. Lovely to have you here.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- Thank you.- And you've come on with the Biggins. How did you...?- Yes.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33We were separated at birth.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35We're twins like they are, really.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- Yeah, we really are. - True actually, yes. Yes.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Now...- We're a miracle of genetic engineering.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42If Biggins wouldn't keep dyeing his hair silver
0:07:42 > 0:07:44it'd be much easier to see the likeness.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Yeah, but you don't know what colour mine really is.- Yeah. - How do you know each other?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- I'm sure you've known each other for years.- Well,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52we've both got the loudest voices in any room.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55And we've got lots of mutual friends and we've just been around,
0:07:55 > 0:07:56- haven't we?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- We're kind of old but acceptable.- Yeah, exactly.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Certainly acceptable. Now then, Janet, what about that board?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06I'm going to choose the English author of Doctor Faustus.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10Yes?
0:08:10 > 0:08:11- Yeah...- You want the answer? - Go on.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Christopher Marlowe. - Christopher Marlowe, says Janet.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Let's see if that's right.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Let's see how many people said Christopher Marlowe.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22There we are.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Now, 15 - our lowest score so far.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27Is Janet going to do...
0:08:27 > 0:08:28Oh, she smashes through that.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Down to 6. Very well done, Janet.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:08:33 > 0:08:35A score of 6 for Christopher Marlowe.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Well played, Janet.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38It's the best answer so far. Best score yet.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42He was only 29 when he died, Marlowe. He was stabbed in a row over a bill.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Though some people thought he was a spy, Marlowe.- Yeah.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- He was thought to be one. - Yeah...- I know...
0:08:47 > 0:08:48..he worked with the Secret Service.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Well, Janet, he may have done, he may not have done.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I am not at liberty to tell you.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57But certainly I work for a... Well, if I was a spy, I wouldn't tell you.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- But say I was...- Yeah.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Then I would know that kind of stuff and yeah, he was a spy.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Yeah, but you are 100% not a spy.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- Oh, I'm not a spy!- No!
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- But if I was...- Yeah.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- ..I wouldn't be able to tell you.- No.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- Thank you very much. - LAUGHTER
0:09:14 > 0:09:19- OK, now then. Now then, Ricky. - Hello.- Welcome back to Pointless.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20- Thank you.- Great to have you here.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Obviously a lot of people will know you as Gary, as you said,
0:09:23 > 0:09:24from EastEnders.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28But of course we know you as almost a Pointless champion.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- You were one point away, last time you were here. - One point in it.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32- You made it all the way to the final.- Yeah.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- And you were one away from the jackpot...- Yes.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36..which is why you are back.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Back to see if I can just beat that one point, really, you know.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41But you've also done all sorts of other things.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- You've done Celebrity MasterChef. - Yeah. MasterChef...
0:09:43 > 0:09:47- Now that...- ..Strictly Come Dancing. Different things, really.- Yeah.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48- How did you do on those? - Not too bad.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Well, the MasterChef was a bit of a let-down
0:09:50 > 0:09:52as I used to be a chef,
0:09:52 > 0:09:54but I don't know whether or not I had the head start that time.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57But on Strictly, for instance, there were some people that had
0:09:57 > 0:10:00had more dancing experience and I sort of, actually, beat them.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04So it's a bit weird that. But no, I have a go, shall we say?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Very good. OK, so we are looking for the surnames of these famous people
0:10:07 > 0:10:09which begin with M. How do you feel about this board,
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- because you're the last person to have it?- Yeah...
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- You can fill in all the blanks if you like.- I'm going to go for...
0:10:16 > 0:10:19See, Jamaica, immediately you go "Bob Marley," don't you?
0:10:19 > 0:10:23JFK, obviously the Marilyn Monroe. It's all very much the same.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28I think perhaps I'll just try for, eh...
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Bobby Moore - the '66 World Cup final, if that's OK.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33OK, that's the one you're going to go for - Bobby Moore.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Let's see if that's right.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Let's how many of our 100 people said Bobby Moore.
0:10:40 > 0:10:4255 is our highest score.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44You are through that.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Down it goes to 37.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Not bad at all. Very well done, Ricky.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- 37 for Bobby Moore. - Well done, Ricky, yeah.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Pele said of him, "Of the hundreds of defenders I've played against in my career,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58"I'd pick Bobby Moore as the best."
0:10:58 > 0:11:00That is quite a compliment.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03And you actually picked the best answer of the ones you knew, Ricky.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05That was well worked out cos Bob Marley is the Jamaican
0:11:05 > 0:11:08singer-songwriter, which would have scored you 46 points.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Marilyn Monroe, absolutely right, sang Happy Birthday to JFK.
0:11:11 > 0:11:1384 points. That's pretty good going.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17And the best answer on the board by a mile,
0:11:17 > 0:11:21received the Nobel Prize for physics, Guglielmo Marconi.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Would have scored one point.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Very, very well done if you said that at home. Terrific answer.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Thanks, Richard. Halfway through the round.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Let's take a look at those scores.
0:11:30 > 0:11:326 is very much the best score of that pass, Janet.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Very well done indeed.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Janet and Biggins looking very strong at this juncture.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Then up to 15, where we find James and Oliver,
0:11:39 > 0:11:41up to 37, Ricky and Natalie
0:11:41 > 0:11:44and then up to 55 where we find Peter and John.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46So yes, you are a little bit ahead.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51John, luckily, I think you will be brilliant in this next pass.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53You are going to need to be if you are going to stay on.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Best of luck. We are coming back down the line.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04OK. We are going to put seven more clues on the board.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Here they come. We have got...
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I will read all of those again.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47Remember, we are looking for these famous people whose surnames begin with an M.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Natalie, you are going to try and find the one you think the fewest people knew.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55- I was much better on the other board. So much better.- Really?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Yeah. This is quite difficult.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- But, Natalie, welcome to the show. Nice to have you here.- Thank you.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- Most people will know you from playing Sonia.- Of course.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- And, famously, playing the trumpet.- True.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- Was that you, playing the trumpet? - Very badly. Yeah, I played.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- But very badly.- Were you taught for the part, or did...?- I was.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I was just terrible but I did have to learn to play terribly.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- It was the character. - Oh, yes.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Much harder than playing well.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- I'm obviously very, very good in real life.- Of course.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Now, you are the second highest scorers.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26The highest scorers are John and Peter on 55.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29You are on 37 so if you can score 17 or less
0:13:29 > 0:13:31you would avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35I'm not going to go for the sport at the top,
0:13:35 > 0:13:38just because it is so current. I'm going to leave that.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41I'm going to have to go...
0:13:43 > 0:13:45..with a member of the Beatles.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- And I'm going to go for Paul McCartney.- OK.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Paul McCartney, says Natalie. Here is your red line.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55It is quite low.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56If you can get below that,
0:13:56 > 0:13:58you will avoid becoming our new high scorers.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Paul McCartney, says Natalie.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Let's see how many people said that.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06It's right.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- 73. - APPLAUSE
0:14:10 > 0:14:1273 takes your total up to 110.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18It's a big score, Natalie, but much better than getting 100. Exactly the right thing to do.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21When I saw the question, it took me really quite a long time.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22I was going through the Beatles.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26- What? John Mennon?- It's one of those that begins with M.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30And I did, I thought, "George Morrison", before I realised.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Now, Biggins.- Sir.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Welcome back. - It's nice to be back.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- You have been on Pointless before. Great to have you here.- And I lost.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I was out first. Lesley Joseph. Lesley Joseph and myself.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Disgraced ourselves. We were humiliated.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46You were out far too quickly. That's not going to happen this time.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49I can tell you emphatically that's not going to happen this time,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52even if you score 100, which you won't,
0:14:52 > 0:14:56you won't overtake the high scores of Natalie and Ricky there, on the fourth podium.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- Right.- But, Christopher, great to have you back here.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- We're very lucky you can fit us in. - I know. I cancelled everything.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Yes. I'm glad to hear it.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Tea with the Queen. She's devastated.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- The Two Queens Tea. - LAUGHTER
0:15:11 > 0:15:13That's an annual event.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- Now, then. - Yes.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18What are you thinking on this board?
0:15:18 > 0:15:24I think I'm going to go with published Paradise Lost in 1667.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26My answer is Milton.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29There we are. Milton, says Biggins. Milton. Let's see if that's right.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Obviously, there's no red line for you.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34You're already through. But let's see how many people said Milton.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Absolutely right.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- 33. - APPLAUSE
0:15:44 > 0:15:50- 33 takes your total up to 39. - Well played, Biggins. Absolutely.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53That poem concerns the biblical story of the fall of man
0:15:53 > 0:15:55and introduces Satan as evil for the first time.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00That's where that all comes from. Naughty Satan.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Naughty. Bad Satan.
0:16:01 > 0:16:06Now, then. John. A very warm welcome to you, John.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11A childhood hero of so many people. Fabulous to have you here.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12Here we have a board.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15We have a board of people whose surnames begin with M.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17You are on 55 at the moment,
0:16:17 > 0:16:19the high scorers on 110 are Natalie and Ricky.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24If you can score 54 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26What's your answer going to be, John?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- The writer of The Goon Show, Spike Milligan.- Brilliant.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30Spike Milligan, says John.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33OK. Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:16:33 > 0:16:35let's see how many people said it.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39There is your red line. Below that, you're through to the next round.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Absolutely right.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48And you're through to the next round. Very well done. 44.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- 44, your score. 99, your total. - APPLAUSE
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Very well played, John. Spike Milligan.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02John Cleese referred to him at the great god of us all. That's nice.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Now, then. Oliver. Finally, we come to you.
0:17:06 > 0:17:1015 is what James scored in the first pass. Second lowest score, there.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- Fantastic scoring. - Yeah, he did well.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15I don't think I'm going to be getting to 15
0:17:15 > 0:17:22but my answer's going to be elected president of the ANC in 1991.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25And that's Nelson Mandela.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26Nelson Mandela, says Oliver.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30You're on 15. The highest scorers, on 110, are Natalie and Ricky.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34If you can score 94 or less, you're through to Round Two.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Let's see how many people said it. Here's your red line. Nice and high.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Yep, you've done it. You're through. Well done.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- 29. - APPLAUSE
0:17:48 > 0:17:52And a total of 44. Very, very well done indeed, Oliver.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Well played, Oliver. He was given the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 as well.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58In 2012 in London they displayed the book, he had...
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Someone smuggled in the complete works of Shakespeare
0:18:01 > 0:18:03to Robben Island, the prison where he was,
0:18:03 > 0:18:05and he made lots of notes in it and lots of the other prisoners
0:18:05 > 0:18:08he shared it with made notes and they put it on display in London.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11It's very powerful. They call it the Robben Island Bible.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Nice, isn't it? Let's have a look at the rest of these answers.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19The top one is Andy Murray. It would have scored you 53 points.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23"Played Alex DeLarge in A Clockwork Orange" is Malcolm McDowell.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24Would have scored 12.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27The best answer on the board is "father-in-law of Daniel Day-Lewis".
0:18:27 > 0:18:28I know the answer.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- Do you know that one, Janet? - Arthur Miller.- Arthur Miller.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Absolutely right. Another Marilyn Monroe connection, there.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Two points. He is married to Rebecca Miller, Arthur Miller's daughter.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Of course he is. Yes. There we are.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45At the end of Round One, our losing pair, with a high score of 110,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- I'm really sorry, Natalie and Ricky. - I'm sorry for Ricky.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- He came on again. You will have to have him on again.- Make it regular.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- Once every month at least. - Thank you! Mwah!
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Oh, Natalie.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Did you know any of those?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Once we filled them in you might have known.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- Spike Milligan. My dad's going to kill me.- Yeah.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Goodbye to you. Natalie and Ricky, it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10I'm sorry. We had high hopes of you carrying off the trophy again.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- You'll have to come on another time. - On his own.- Not on his own at all!
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Natalie and Ricky, thanks very much.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:19:18 > 0:19:20For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Sadly, at the end of this round we'll say goodbye to another pair.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Janet and Biggins, I don't think it's going to be you.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35That performance was incredible.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Biggins, you are now the only veteran left.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39You've seen off Ricky.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41I know! That was a surprise.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43And Janet, sounded like you knew most of those answers.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47I did know all the answers but I had to not tell him.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50I was trying to whisper, jab him in the ribs when you weren't looking.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Really? To spell things in Morse? - I was trying to, you know...
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- I'm black and blue. - LAUGHTER
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Very best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Our category for Round Two is...
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Can you all decide in the your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:20:07 > 0:20:10And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16OK. And the question concerns:
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- Richard.- In a moment, Xander's about to show you five words.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27We are looking for any country of the world that has any of these words in them.
0:20:27 > 0:20:32You'll see five words. Any country of the world that has one of these five words in them, please.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35That's either in their common name or in their long-form name.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37As always, by country we mean a sovereign state
0:20:37 > 0:20:39that is a member of the UN.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43So any country of the world that contains one of the following words. Good luck, everyone.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50As Richard has just mentioned, we are now going to put five words on the board, and here they are.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03We are looking for any country
0:21:03 > 0:21:06whose name includes one of these words.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Now, then. Oliver.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Are you running a mile at the sight of any of these words?
0:21:11 > 0:21:12No, not really.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14There's a few but I'm trying not
0:21:14 > 0:21:16to go for the most obvious ones.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I'm going to go for...
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- St Lucia.- St Lucia, says Oliver.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23St Lucia. Let's see if that's right.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Let's see how many people said it. St Lucia.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Absolutely right.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- 24. - APPLAUSE
0:21:38 > 0:21:4024 for St Lucia.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Well played, Oliver. In the eastern Caribbean Sea.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46I bet if they had a Harry Potter premiere in St Lucia,
0:21:46 > 0:21:48there would be a few hands going up.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Now then, John.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Any country which contains one of these words.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01New Hebrides.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04New Hebrides, says John. New Hebrides.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:22:06 > 0:22:10let's see how many of our 100 people said New Hebrides.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Oh! Bad luck, John. I'm sorry.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- An incorrect answer. - Can I go home?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- That scores you the maximum of 100 points.- Does it?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- Richard.- Unlucky, John.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27It's worth going for an obscure one in this round but New Hebrides, it used to be a country.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29It's now called Vanuatu.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- I thought there was something in it. - But it's really, really unlucky.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Now then, Janet.
0:22:35 > 0:22:40You've slightly freaked me by saying these countries have changed names.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- New Caledonia. - New Caledonia, says Janet.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 said it.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58- No!- Bad luck, Janet.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer
0:23:00 > 0:23:03and scores you the maximum of 100 points. We'll find out why.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Yeah. Sorry, Janet. Not a country, New Caledonia.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08There is an island called New Caledonia but it belongs to France.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10So not a country in its own right.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- Should have just gone for a nice, safe, simple one.- OK.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14We're halfway through the round.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Let's take a look at the scores as they stand. 24, Oliver and James.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Looking very strong indeed.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21Then up to 100, where John and Peter,
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Janet and Biggins are, all four, to be found.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28So Peter and Biggins, it's going to be between you.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Whichever can come up with the most obscure country name
0:23:31 > 0:23:33will be surviving at the end of the round.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35We are going to be coming back down the line again.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:23:40 > 0:23:45OK. We are looking for countries which contain the following words.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Now, then. Biggins, you are a little bit exposed here.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55A little bit!
0:23:55 > 0:23:59You went down on a Countries question last time you were on.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01I did. I did.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04I can see from Janet's face, she has got a good one.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07I've got my other one that I didn't have just now!
0:24:08 > 0:24:12- LAUGHTER - I'm... Thought transference.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Erm...
0:24:17 > 0:24:20South Pacific.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- LAUGHTER - No! THAT'S NOT A COUNTRY!
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Is it a river? A sea?
0:24:25 > 0:24:29- It's a musical.- It's a musical. We can sing from it.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- I can't believe it! - Oh, dear. I'm sorry.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35OK. You are going to say South Pacific.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36No!
0:24:36 > 0:24:39South Pacific. There's no red line for you
0:24:39 > 0:24:42because you're already the joint highest scorers.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Let's just see what becomes of South Pacific.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- JANET:- Don't know why we're looking. We know the answer.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50What a shame!
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Unfortunately, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55That scores you the maximum of 100 points
0:24:55 > 0:24:57and takes your total up to 200.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- Sorry.- Oh, Biggins.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02South Pacific is...is...yes.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Never is, never was a country. Maybe one day.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08- You never know. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Now then, Peter.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Peter, the high scorers now are Biggins and Janet, on 200.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- You are on 100. If you can score 99 or less...- There's lots in there.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19So take an easy one.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Newfoundland.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Newfoundland, says Peter. Newfoundland.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28Let's see if that is right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Here is your red line. Very high.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Newfoundland.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- Oh, no! I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer.- You're kidding!
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- JANET:- Yes! Even I knew that!
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- LAUGHTER - That is an incorrect answer
0:25:46 > 0:25:48and also scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Takes your total up to 200.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53There were a million I could have chosen.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- Newfoundland is not a country? - It is not.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57It's part of Canada, I'm afraid.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00But if you ever want to know what Janet Street-Porter looks like
0:26:00 > 0:26:02doing a delighted dance, you just found out.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04LAUGHTER This is going well!
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Isn't it? Thank you very much indeed.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Now then, James.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13James, look at this. Here's great news. You are in the head-to-head.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15You're on 24. Doesn't matter what you score.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19You'll never overtake the 200 that the other two teams have scored.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Anyway. There we are. You are on 24.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24When I was standing there,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27I was trying to think of the Olympics opening ceremony,
0:26:27 > 0:26:29trying to think of all the countries that come through
0:26:29 > 0:26:31and you think, "Is that actually a country?"
0:26:31 > 0:26:34And standing here, I thought that South Pacific may have come up.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- Can we check my answer? - LAUGHTER
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Hold on, Biggins, I'll check.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- Thank you very much. - Yeah, you're wrong.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44LAUGHTER
0:26:44 > 0:26:47I'm just going to play safe and go with New Zealand.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50New Zealand, says James. Thank you. New Zealand.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52There's no red line for you because you're already through
0:26:52 > 0:26:55but let's see how many people said New Zealand.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Absolutely right.
0:27:00 > 0:27:0160.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- Takes your total up to 84. - APPLAUSE
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Well played, James. Finally. Safe, solid.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11We all know New Zealand is a country.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Back in the '80s, famously,
0:27:13 > 0:27:15there were 20 sheep for every person in New Zealand.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Now it's only seven.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19That's either great news for people or terrible news for sheep.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- I can't work it out.- It's a little bit of both, isn't it?
0:27:22 > 0:27:26- Anyway, we've got a tie-break.- This is exciting. We've got deadlock.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28THEY IMPERSONATE SOUND EFFECTS
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Now we're going to have to go to the public vote. Is that how this works?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34It's a tie and as it's a tie,
0:27:34 > 0:27:36the pairs have to give me one more answer each
0:27:36 > 0:27:40and the pair that gets the highest score will be eliminated.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43You may now confer. John and Peter, you go first.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46St Kitts and Nevis.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49St Kitts and Nevis, say Peter and John.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51St Kitts and Nevis.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55So, then. Biggins and Janet, let's have an answer from you.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58BOTH: Papua New Guinea.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Papua New Guinea. OK.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02So, in the order they were given,
0:28:02 > 0:28:03St Kitts and Nevis.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Let's see how many people said it. St Kitts and Nevis.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12St Kitts and Nevis is right.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Down we go. Still going down.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18- 7. - APPLAUSE
0:28:22 > 0:28:27St Kitts and Nevis, taking your total up to 207.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28Now, then.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Biggins, if you can score 6 or less...
0:28:31 > 0:28:34If you can score 6 or less with your answer, Papua New Guinea,
0:28:34 > 0:28:37you are through to the head-to-head. Let's find out.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Will it beat St Kitts and Nevis?
0:28:41 > 0:28:43It's right.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Down. Oh, 11.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51- APPLAUSE - 11 for Papua New Guinea.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Takes your total up to 211.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Very, very well played, Peter and John.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02Tough luck, Biggins and Janet. That's a shame.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05- That, presumably, was the other one you had in the normal round?- Yes.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10That's what we should have done, before he had his moment.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- He had his turn. - My musical moment.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16There's a couple of pointless answers and they're very tricksy ones
0:29:16 > 0:29:18so I'd be surprised if anyone got either of these.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21but there are some other smaller answers.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23The two pointless answers are the full titles of these countries.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26The United Mexican States is another word for Mexico,
0:29:26 > 0:29:28and the United Republic of Tanzania.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Both of them would have been acceptable and pointless.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Some of the low scorers.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Marshall Islands would have scored you 1 point.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36The newest country in the world, South Sudan,
0:29:36 > 0:29:38would have been a terrific answer and scored you 2 points.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41And St Vincent and the Grenadines a good answer as well,
0:29:41 > 0:29:42would have scored you 3 points.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Let's take a look at the higher scorers.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46The ones that most of our 100 said.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55And absolute top of the shop, as you would expect, the United States of America.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Thanks very much, Richard.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00At the end of Round Two, our losing pair, with a high score of 211,
0:30:00 > 0:30:03I'm afraid, is Biggins and Janet.
0:30:03 > 0:30:08Oh, dear. I'm so sorry. I honestly thought you were finalists.
0:30:08 > 0:30:09And we just had a moment, there.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11We had a moment.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13But I'm going to go and take him outside and just beat him up.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15LAUGHTER
0:30:15 > 0:30:18On that note, we wish you every best wish.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21Thank you for coming and playing, Biggins and Janet.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Lovely having you on the show. Brilliant contestants.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:30:26 > 0:30:28But for the two remaining pairs,
0:30:28 > 0:30:29they are a step closer to the final
0:30:29 > 0:30:34and the chance of taking home our jackpot for their charities as we enter the head-to-head.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Well, congratulations, James and Oliver, John and Peter.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44You are now only one round away from the final
0:30:44 > 0:30:47and a chance to play for our jackpot, which stands at £2,500.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54One pair can win that money. To decide which it going to be,
0:30:54 > 0:30:56you are now going to go head-to-head.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58This time you are allowed to confer.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00The first pair to win two questions
0:31:00 > 0:31:02will be first to play for the jackpot.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Very best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14OK. Here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:31:19 > 0:31:22We are going to show you five pictures of dogs from films.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25You need to tell us which famous character our dogs are playing.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Very best of luck.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31OK. Let's reveal our five dogs in roles, and here they are.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33We have got...
0:31:55 > 0:31:57There we are. There are five dogs.
0:31:57 > 0:31:58We want to know which roles
0:31:58 > 0:31:59they are playing.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03James and Oliver, you've played best through the show so you get to go first.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Right, OK. There's three of those that we know.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08But they are probably the most obvious.
0:32:12 > 0:32:19- We are going to go D, which is Hooch. Hooch.- Hooch.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Hooch, said James and Oliver.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23D is Hooch.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Now, then. John and Peter.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28The rest of the board is yours. You can talk us through it.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30The only one we are dead certain on is B,
0:32:30 > 0:32:34which I'm sure everyone will have.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37The little Chihuahua or whatever,
0:32:37 > 0:32:40I should know that and I can't remember.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- Have to go with B, which is Toto from the Wizard of Oz.- OK.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45B, Toto. We have Hooch Vs Toto.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47James and Oliver have said Hooch.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 said Hooch.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55It's absolutely right.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02APPLAUSE
0:33:02 > 0:33:0536 for Hooch. John and Peter have gone for Toto.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09Let's see if Toto is right. Let's see how many people said Toto.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14It's right. Peter thinks everyone is going to have said it.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17- They haven't. 57 have. - APPLAUSE
0:33:19 > 0:33:2457. Which means, James and Oliver, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28Well played, James and Oliver. Peter, do you know what breed Toto was?
0:33:28 > 0:33:34It's a terrier but it's not a Scottie. It is Cairn, probably.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Oh, he's good. A female Cairn terrier called Terry. Well done.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41Unfortunately, you don't get points for it, but it's very impressive.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44An extra bonus of 19 would be good.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Hooch was from Turner And Hooch.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Now, A is Beethoven.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50- From the Beethoven series of films. - Of course it is.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53It was a big scorer, though. 43 points.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55C is a pointless answer.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58It is from As Good As It Gets, when Jack Nicholson won his Oscar.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01It's Verdelle. Very well done if you said that. Pointless answer.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Would have added £250 to the jackpot.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06And right at the bottom, from Legally Blonde.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10That's Reese Witherspoon on the right and on the left it is Bruiser.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Two points. Very well done if you said that.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19John and Peter, you have to win to stay in the game.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Best of luck. It concerns...
0:34:23 > 0:34:26- Quite simply, apples. - How do you like them apples?
0:34:26 > 0:34:30We're going to show you the names of five apples now but they are in anagram form.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Can you unscramble them and give us the best answer?
0:34:33 > 0:34:37OK. Let's reveal our five anagrams of apples, and here they come. We have got...
0:34:55 > 0:34:58There we are. Now then, John and Peter, you go first this time.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05OK. We are going with the top one. Red Delicious.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09Red Delicious. Red Delicious, say John and Peter, for the top one.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11James and Oliver, the board is yours.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14We're going to play it safe.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Apples is not our strong point.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22We are going to go with the bottom one, which is Granny Smith.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Granny Smith, say James and Oliver. Granny Smith.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27So we have Red Delicious and Granny Smith.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29John and Peter said Red Delicious.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35There we are. It's right.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Red Delicious. Down it goes.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42- 5! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Fantastic!
0:35:46 > 0:35:475 for Red Delicious.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50James and Oliver, you have gone for Granny Smith.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Let's see how many people said Granny Smith.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Absolutely right.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02- 40. - APPLAUSE
0:36:03 > 0:36:05John and Peter, you're back in the game. Very well done.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09- After two questions it's one apiece. Richard.- Brilliant work from Peter.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12- Have you heard of Red Delicious? - Yeah.- Or did you work out the anagram?
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Nothing to do with Golden Delicious. Completely different variety.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17It's an American apple.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19A GAL is Gala.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22It's a big scorer, though. It would have scored 87 points.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26MA BERYL is a very good score, actually, it's Bramley.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Would have scored 12.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31And REPAIR MY KILO is a pointless answer so anyone who got this,
0:36:31 > 0:36:33very, very well done.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37It is a York Imperial. York Imperial. A pointless answer.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Here comes your third question.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:36:43 > 0:36:45and plays for that jackpot.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:36:52 > 0:36:56Simply going to give you five questions about the six wives of Henry VIII.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59The most obscure answer is going to see you through to the jackpot round.
0:36:59 > 0:37:00Best of luck to both teams.
0:37:00 > 0:37:05OK. Let's reveal our five clues to facts about the wives of Henry VIII, and here we are.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32So there we are, five clues to facts about Henry VIII.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Now then, James and Oliver, you go first again this time.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39I'm going to take an absolute...
0:37:39 > 0:37:44..educated guess, which is totally nothing to do with me.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47I've got absolutely no idea.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50I'm going to say the first wife to be executed is Anne Boleyn.
0:37:50 > 0:37:51Anne Boleyn, says James.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Anne Boleyn, first wife to be executed.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56John and Peter.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00I have a sneaky feeling his fifth wife was Jane Seymour.
0:38:00 > 0:38:05The wife buried beside Henry must have been one who outlived him,
0:38:05 > 0:38:07so she wasn't executed.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11I think we'll go for the wife who died ten years after Henry...
0:38:12 > 0:38:14..who I think is Catherine Parr.
0:38:14 > 0:38:19Catherine Parr. The wife who died ten years after Henry.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Catherine Parr, say John and Peter.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24So James and Oliver, you have gone for Anne Boleyn.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:38:26 > 0:38:28let's see how many people said Anne Boleyn.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32It's absolutely right.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37- 36. - APPLAUSE
0:38:38 > 0:38:4136. Very well done, James and Oliver.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Now, then. John and Peter.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48You said Catherine Parr was the wife who died ten years after Henry.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49Catherine Parr.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Catherine Parr.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Oh, no! Wow!
0:38:59 > 0:39:02- We lost it.- There's a turn-up! Look at that.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06James and Oliver, after three questions, you are through to the final 2-1. Very well done indeed.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Yes, Catherine Parr sounds like the right answer, doesn't it?
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Cos she was the last wife and she survived him.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13But she died a year after him
0:39:13 > 0:39:15and it was one of the marriages that was annulled.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18It was Anne of Cleves, was the wife who died after him.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Would have scored 4 points as well. Would have been a terrific answer.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Catherine Parr is an answer here
0:39:23 > 0:39:26but she's an answer to the wife who married four times herself.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Henry VIII was her third husband and she had one more afterwards.
0:39:28 > 0:39:306 points, that would have scored.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33His fifth wife was Catherine Howard.
0:39:33 > 0:39:34Would have scored you 19 points.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36And it wasn't Jane Seymour
0:39:36 > 0:39:39but actually the wife buried beside Henry was Jane Seymour.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42And she would have scored 11 points.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Anne of Cleves the best answer there
0:39:44 > 0:39:47but turns out Anne Boleyn was the best answer on the show.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49- Well done, guys. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53Our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid, is John and Peter.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56Brilliant, brilliant head-to-head. Very exciting indeed.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Red Delicious a particular high point, I'd say.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02Very, very close-fought, that one. Very exciting indeed.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05It has been a real pleasure having you both on the show.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07John and Peter, true heroes of our childhood.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Fabulous to have you on Pointless.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12- Thank you so much for playing, John and Peter.- Thanks very much.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:40:15 > 0:40:18But for James and Oliver it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Well, congratulations, James and Oliver.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27You've seen off all the competition
0:40:27 > 0:40:29and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot for your charity
0:40:37 > 0:40:42and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,500.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:40:45 > 0:40:50- Well done. You made pretty easy work of that.- I thought they had us in the last round, to be honest.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Maybe, maybe they might have done.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55But then Anne Boleyn came riding to your rescue.
0:40:55 > 0:41:00I think we'd like to dedicate that to Miss Young, who taught history.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02- LAUGHTER - Very good.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Best of luck in this final round. The rules are very simple.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08To win that money for your charity, all you have to do is find the pointless answer.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Do that and you will leave here with that £2,500.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15First, you've got to choose a category, and here are your five options. They are...
0:41:25 > 0:41:27UK Politics can be anything.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Chemistry didn't really appeal to me in school
0:41:30 > 0:41:32so I can't really say too much for that.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35Do you know anything on the periodic table?
0:41:35 > 0:41:38- No!- I think that's out.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42- Shall we go with Welsh Bands? We'll go Welsh Bands, I think.- OK.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Welsh Bands. Here it comes.
0:41:44 > 0:41:50We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:41:51 > 0:41:53..as they could. Richard.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56We are looking for the title of any top-40 single by the Welsh band the
0:41:56 > 0:42:00Stereophonics or a top-40 single that had them named as featured artist.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02So any top-40 single by the Stereophonics.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06Where double A-sides are released, either name will count. Good luck.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10OK. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:42:10 > 0:42:13and all you need to win that jackpot of £2,500 for your charity
0:42:13 > 0:42:16- is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:42:16 > 0:42:20- Yeah.- OK. Let put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22There they are. Your time starts now.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Off the top of my head, Dakota. That was a number one.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Dakota. The Long Way Round.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30- Have A Nice Day.- Have A Nice Day.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Handbags And Gladrags. That was Rod Stewart.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37- They covered it. - They covered it, though.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Erm... That's about it.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43- Handbags... Gladrag And The Thief. - Right?
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Erm...
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Stumped. I've got it. Erm...
0:42:49 > 0:42:52- CLICKS FINGERS - There's a song.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55- I think it's called It Means Nothing.- Yeah.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57"It means nothing without you."
0:42:57 > 0:43:01- Is that a single? Yes, it was. - It was. Erm...
0:43:01 > 0:43:05- Was this top-ten singles or just...? - Top-40 UK singles.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08That was in there.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12- I'm gone.- OK.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15Ten seconds left.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20- Any others?- No.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22Long Way Round...
0:43:23 > 0:43:25OK. That's time up.
0:43:25 > 0:43:29So we were looking for Stereophonics UK top-40 singles.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32- I now need your three answers. What are you going to give?- OK.
0:43:32 > 0:43:36- I think we're going with The Long Way Round.- The Long Way Round.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38- It Means Nothing.- It Means Nothing.
0:43:38 > 0:43:41- And...- Handbags and... Oh, no. That was a re-release.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43Bartender And The Thief.
0:43:43 > 0:43:44And The Bartender And The Thief.
0:43:44 > 0:43:48I think that... I know the song. I'm not sure if that was the title.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50- Bartender And The Thief. - Yeah.- OK.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52Of those, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:43:52 > 0:43:56I'm going to guess The Long Way Round, and I know that
0:43:56 > 0:43:59because it was the title for the Ewan McGregor programme.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01Yeah.
0:44:01 > 0:44:04OK. So The Long Way Round. We will put that last.
0:44:04 > 0:44:07What's your least likely to pointless, do you think?
0:44:07 > 0:44:09- Handbags... - Bartender And The Thief.
0:44:09 > 0:44:11Bartender And The Thief. OK. We will put that one first.
0:44:11 > 0:44:15- I'll go, then. Yeah.- OK.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18Let's put them up on the board in that order. Here they are.
0:44:23 > 0:44:25We were looking for Stereophonics UK top-40 singles.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28Your first answer, The Bartender And The Thief,
0:44:28 > 0:44:31you thought was your least confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:44:31 > 0:44:33Only one of these needs to be pointless
0:44:33 > 0:44:35for you to win the jackpot of £2,500
0:44:35 > 0:44:40so let's see how many people said The Bartender And The Thief.
0:44:42 > 0:44:44It's absolutely right.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48Down it goes. Past the 50 mark.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51If this goes all the way down to zero, you leave here with £2,500.
0:44:51 > 0:44:54It's still going down. Oh, 9.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57- APPLAUSE - 9.
0:44:59 > 0:45:01Great answer.
0:45:01 > 0:45:04Sadly, though, we are only interested in pointless answers
0:45:04 > 0:45:07in this final round so I'm afraid that one won't win the jackpot
0:45:07 > 0:45:10for you but £2,500 will be going to your charities
0:45:10 > 0:45:12if you can win with one of these two remaining answers.
0:45:12 > 0:45:14James, what's your charity?
0:45:14 > 0:45:16Our charity is very close to our hearts,
0:45:16 > 0:45:19which is called the Help Harry Help Others charity,
0:45:19 > 0:45:24which is an amazing charity started by a young guy called Harry Mosley.
0:45:25 > 0:45:29Basically, Harry, when he was seven he was diagnosed with a brain tumour
0:45:29 > 0:45:31so he started making these bracelets
0:45:31 > 0:45:35and, unfortunately, Harry passed away last year,
0:45:35 > 0:45:39but before his death, he raised just over £750,000.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42- Wow! - APPLAUSE
0:45:46 > 0:45:48Brilliant. Brilliant. Very, very well done.
0:45:48 > 0:45:53Let's hope one of your two remaining answers will win that jackpot for the charity. OK.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55We are looking for Stereophonics UK top-40 singles.
0:45:55 > 0:45:58Let's hope nobody said the next answer. It Means Nothing.
0:45:58 > 0:46:02Now, this has to be correct and then it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:46:02 > 0:46:07So for £2,500, let's see how many people said It Means Nothing.
0:46:09 > 0:46:11It is absolutely right.
0:46:11 > 0:46:14The Bartender And The Thief took us down to 9.
0:46:14 > 0:46:17It Means Nothing, taking us down through the teens.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19Into single figures.
0:46:19 > 0:46:22Down it goes! Still coming down!
0:46:22 > 0:46:24- 2! Very, very well done. - AUDIENCE GROANS
0:46:24 > 0:46:26APPLAUSE
0:46:29 > 0:46:31From 9 to 2.
0:46:31 > 0:46:35It's looking very good for your final answer, The Long Way Round.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38It has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:46:38 > 0:46:39This is your last crack at it.
0:46:39 > 0:46:42Let's see how many people said The Long Way Round.
0:46:47 > 0:46:50Oh, no!
0:46:50 > 0:46:52- Oh, bad luck! - APPLAUSE
0:46:56 > 0:46:59Two brilliant answers, there.
0:46:59 > 0:47:02And your second answer, It Means Nothing, so nearly pointless.
0:47:02 > 0:47:05Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important
0:47:05 > 0:47:09pointless answer, so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500.
0:47:09 > 0:47:11However, as it is a celebrity special,
0:47:11 > 0:47:14we're going to donate £500 to each celebrity pair
0:47:14 > 0:47:16for their respective charities.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19You've been brilliant contestants. Great to have you on the show.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21And you get to take home the Pointless trophy as well
0:47:21 > 0:47:24so very well done. Richard.
0:47:24 > 0:47:27The Long Way Round, as you say, it was the Ewan McGregor TV series.
0:47:27 > 0:47:29It was on the B-side of Dakota
0:47:29 > 0:47:31so if you bought the Dakota CD it was on there.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34But it wasn't a single so it wasn't a top-40 hit, so it's tough luck.
0:47:34 > 0:47:37You said Handbags And Gladrags, would have would have scored you 13.
0:47:37 > 0:47:39Have A Nice Day would have scored 8.
0:47:39 > 0:47:42There's some pointless answers up here. A few top-ten hits as well.
0:47:42 > 0:47:45Two big singles from Performance And Cocktails.
0:47:45 > 0:47:48Hurry Up And Wait, I Wouldn't Believe Your Radio, both pointless.
0:47:48 > 0:47:50Madame Helga, which was a number four.
0:47:50 > 0:47:52That was also a pointless answer.
0:47:52 > 0:47:56More Life In A Tramp's Vest, one of their very early hits from the '90s.
0:47:56 > 0:48:00Moviestar they released online. My Friends, also a pointless answer.
0:48:00 > 0:48:03Pick A Part That's New was a pointless answer,
0:48:03 > 0:48:06and two singles from the Just Enough Education To Perform album.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09Step On My Old Size Nines and Vegas Two Times, both pointless.
0:48:09 > 0:48:11A couple more.
0:48:11 > 0:48:14Rewind, Since I Told You It's Over and Superman, all pointless.
0:48:14 > 0:48:16Well done if you got those at home. You've been terrific.
0:48:16 > 0:48:19Very, very well played and sorry you didn't quite hit the jackpot.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21Unfortunately we say goodbye, James and Oliver,
0:48:21 > 0:48:24but it's been fantastic having to you on the show.
0:48:24 > 0:48:28- Thank you so much for playing. Brilliant, brilliant contestants. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:48:29 > 0:48:33Join us next time, when we will be putting more obscure knowledge to the test.
0:48:33 > 0:48:36- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:48:36 > 0:48:38And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
