Record Breakers Pointless Celebrities

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

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

A very warm welcome to this record-breaking edition of Pointless Celebrities,

the quiz show where the aim of the game is to score as few points as you can.

To do that, our celebrities need to think of an answer no-one else thought of.

Let's welcome today's record-breaking celebrities.

Couple number one.

Hi, I'm Neil. I'm the tallest man in the UK and I'm from Durham.

This is Jessica, my partner. She's the tallest woman in the UK, and she's from Wrexham.

And couple number two.

Hello. My name's Tim Bentinck and this is Kellie Bright.

And we are both in The Archers,

which is the record-breaking longest-running drama series in the world.

And couple three.

-Hello!

-Hello!

-I'm Andy.

-And I'm Janet.

We've both presented the world's longest-running children's programme, Blue Peter.

-Right, Andy?

-That is right. Shall we start the show?

-What's on the show today?

And finally, couple number four.

Hi. I'm Sally and this is Linford.

And we are the British record-holders for the 100 metres and the 400 metre hurdles.

Guess which is which!

And these are today's contestants.

Thanks. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.

Just one more person for me to introduce.

When the fossil fuel runs out, the Government have taken steps to run the UK on his brain power alone!

-It's my Pointless friend, Richard.

-Hiya!

Hi, everybody.

Hiya.

-This is fun, isn't it?

-Yeah, isn't it?

Yeah, record-breakers.

See, I know you, Richard.

I know exactly what's going through your mind at the moment.

You're feeling a bit inadequate. Not inadequate, but you just...

-No, inadequate.

-Left out?

-I think inadequate would probably be about right.

But listen, we've got a little treat for you, later.

There's a chance for you to become a Guinness World Record Holder.

-Really? AUDIENCE:

-Woo!

-What is it?

-You'll find out. Exciting.

-Normally, it's you, telling me.

-I've got to think about it. When will I do it?

-Beginning of Round Two.

-Can I do it now?

-Nope.

I'm going to have a great laugh during Round One, worrying about that!

You don't have to worry about it. It's fine.

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

But all our contestants have to do is find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.

Everyone, of course, is trying to find a pointless answer,

one that none of our 100 people gave.

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

As today's show is a celebrity special,

each celebrity is playing for a nominated charity.

So we start off with a jackpot of 2,500!

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

OK. In this first round, I'll take an answer from each of you,

but of course there's no conferring.

At the end of this round, the pair with the highest score

will be leaving us.

OK. Our first category is...

Film. Can you decide in your pairs who's going first and who's second?

And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

OK. The question concerns...

Richard?

On each pass, we'll show you the names of seven famous movie characters

and the feature film they appeared in.

You just need to tell us the name of the actor or actress who played that character in that feature film.

Seven on each pass. That's 14 in all to have a go at at home. Very best of luck.

So the names of these actors or actresses who played these characters.

And we have on our first board...

I'll read those all one last time.

There we go.

Seven characters. We need the names of the actors.

Neil and Jessica, we drew lots before the show and you get to go first.

So, Neil, what does your life involve generally?

I used to be a professional basketball player.

-Where did you do that?

-I got a scholarship when I was 16.

-Were you good at basketball?

-Yeah, I moved to the States when I was 16.

I spent ten years over there, and then floated around in Europe for a few years playing.

-And then got hurt.

-Now, then, Neil.

How do you feel about this board?

I think I know two or three,

but I'll just go with the obvious one,

which is Wolverine, Hugh Jackman.

Hugh Jackman, says Neil. Hugh Jackman for Wolverine.

Let's see if that's right. How many people said Hugh Jackman.

It's right.

Good start, there, Neil. 35 for Hugh Jackman.

Absolutely. He plays Logan, whose superhero name is Wolverine.

-Thank you very much. Kellie, how are you?

-I'm good. How are you?

Great to have you here. Welcome. From The Archers.

Kellie, what are you going to go for from our board?

I'm going to go for Will Turner.

I believe it's Orlando Bloom.

Orlando Bloom, says Kellie. Let's see if Will Turner is Orlando Bloom.

How many people knew that answer?

Of course it's right.

35 is our only score so far.

Let's see how you do. 41. Not bad.

Not bad for Orlando Bloom.

Well played. He appears in all the Pirates of the Caribbean films.

-Andy.

-Hello.

Andy, how do you feel about this board?

There's one I definitely know the answer to.

But there's one I might know the answer to.

It's a bit obscure, but I might go for that one, actually, I think.

Frances Dormand, who's Marge in Fargo.

Frances Dormand. Let's see if that's right and if so, how many people said Frances Dormand.

Ooh! Unfortunately, an incorrect answer, Andy.

Our first incorrect answer on this Pointless Celebrities edition.

That scores you 100 points, Andy. Listen, it may not be the last.

We'll discover why that's wrong in a moment or two.

Sally, welcome to the show. Great to have you here.

Welcome to Pointless.

You're the last person to have this board, Sally.

Could you talk us through it and fill in any blanks?

The two that I knew are already up there.

So I'm going to have a go at The Bride in Kill Bill: Volume 1.

And I think it's Uma Thurman.

Uma Thurman, says Sally, for The Bride in Kill Bill: Volume 1.

Is that right and if so, how many people said Uma Thurman?

It's right. Very well done.

46 for Uma Thurman.

Good work, Sally. Well played. Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill.

Let's look at the rest. Andy, you were really unlucky there.

It's not Frances Dormand, it's Frances McDormand.

Couldn't let you have it.

Four points, it would have scored.

It would have been a terrific answer.

Dr Ellie Sattler in Jurassic Park

is Laura Dern.

She would have scored six.

Rick Blaine in Casablanca? I bet you know that one.

-Humphrey Bogart.

-Yes, of course.

31 points.

And Red Sonja, in Red Sonja

is Brigitte Nielsen.

14 points.

Thanks very much. Halfway through the round, let's take a look at our scores.

The best score of that pass was yours, Neil. Very well done.

35 to Neil and Jessica.

Then up to 41, Kellie and Tim.

Up to 46 where we find Sally and Linford,

and then up to 100 where we find Andy and Janet.

So, Janet, a bit of a mountain to climb on this next pass.

But who knows? It might be a tricky board.

Other people might score 100.

A very soothing way you say that!

It's like the doctor telling you how long you've got to live!

Very best of luck. That's all I'm going to say, Janet.

Can the second players please now take their places at the podium?

OK. Let's put seven more characters on the board. Here they are.

One last read.

We're looking for the actors or actresses

who played these movie characters.

Linford, try and find the lowest scoring one you can.

Linford, welcome to Pointless Celebrities.

Great to have you here.

Linford, what about movies? Do you watch a lot of films?

I've got to say I'm quite a movie buff,

but I don't really take notice of who the people are in the films!

Right. OK.

I think the only one I know is, I think, Kevin McCallister,

that's Macaulay Culkins.

OK. So is Kevin McCallister Macaulay Culkins, as Linford says?

There is your red line.

You want to be scoring 53 or less with this.

Get below that, you're through to the next round.

Macaulay Culkins.

Bad luck, Linford. Unfortunately an incorrect answer.

That scores the maximum of 100 points.

We will discover why in a moment.

OK. Janet.

That's what we call a lifeline, Janet.

146 is now the high score. Linford and Sally are there.

If you can score 45 or less, you remain with us.

I'm going to go for Meg Altman, Panic Room.

I think that's Jodie Foster. But I expect a lot of other people do, too.

Meg Altman, Jodie Foster. Let's see if that's right.

There is your red line. If you get below that, you're in Round Two.

Jodie Foster. How many people said it? Is it right?

It is right. Very, very well done.

And you're through to the next round, Janet. Well done.

136 is your total.

Well played, Janet. It's Jodie Foster.

It was originally supposed to be Nicole Kidman.

-Now, Tim.

-Yes?

I have very good news for you. You are through to Round Two.

Even if you score 100 points, you won't overtake Linford and Sally

who've set a record of their own.

Tim, what we want is an answer from this board.

Yes. Okey-doke.

I think I know two of them

and it's a question of which scores lowest, but we're through, so it doesn't matter.

Luke Skywalker is Mark Hamill.

Mark Hamill, says Tim. Good answer.

No red line for you, you're already through.

But let's see how many of our 100 said Mark Hamill.

It's right.

It's a great answer. 16. Very well done.

The lowest score of the round, Tim. Well done. That takes your total up to 57.

Well played, Tim. He's going to reprise the role for the seventh film, as well.

-Is he?

-Yeah.

There we go. Anyway, now then, Jessica.

Jessica, you've waited very patiently till the end of the round.

How tall are you, Jessica?

I'm six foot ten.

That is tall! What do you do, Jessica, when you're not...

I work at a bar in Wrexham and I play netball for Wales Under 21s.

I bet you do. I bet you do!

You're the last person to have this board.

Do you fancy filling in any of the gaps for us?

I think I can fill in one.

Did Tom Hanks play Captain John Miller?

Did Tom Hanks play Captain John Miller in Saving Private Ryan?

Let's find out. No red line for you

also because you're already through. Tom Hanks. How many people said it?

It's right. Very well done, Jessica.

38 for Tom Hanks.

Good answer. Takes your total up to 73.

Well played, Jessica. Good answer.

You must get bored of people... I get so bored of people telling me I'm tall.

It's so boring. Am I right?

Yeah, right.

Linford, I'm so sorry. We couldn't take Frances Dormand for Frances McDormand.

And it's Macaulay Culkin. I'm afraid we couldn't take it. You're one letter away.

I'm Jamaican! I've got an S!

Linford, as you well know, you represented Team GB.

You are... I can't accept it.

It's a real shame. Let's fill in the board.

Sarah Connor was Linda Hamilton.

Terrific answer, eight points.

The best answer on the board, Alex Munday in Charlie's Angels

was Lucy Liu. She would have scored four points.

Well done if you said that.

And Eliot Ness was Kevin Costner.

He would have scored 15 points.

Thanks very much indeed.

So at the end of our first round, the pair heading home with the high scores

I'm afraid it's Linford and Sally.

I'm really sorry. And to go on that, for heaven's sake!

Just an S.

I'm really sorry we have to say goodbye to you so soon.

It's been lovely having you on the show. Thanks so much. Linford and Sally, everyone.

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

and our very own Guinness World Record attempt by Richard Osman.

Now...

This is very exciting, isn't it?

Richard, it was really hard thinking of what world record I was going to get you to break,

because the trouble is, you don't know jack!

But soon you will, because, please, a very warm welcome

for the adjudicator from Guinness World Records, Jack!

Jack.

Jack, welcome to Pointless.

-You're looking very dapper.

-Thank you very much.

-This is the uniform you have to wear?

-It certainly is.

-Are you adjudicating all the time? Day in, day out?

-Day in, day out.

Wow. Tell us what we're going to be doing today.

OK. This is a Guinness World Record attempt

for the most countries identified from capital cities in one minute.

-You have to complete a minimum of 30...

-In 60 seconds.

In 60 seconds, in order for this to be a successful Guinness World Record.

-Are you going to read them out?

-Yes, I'll read them out.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

OK. Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.

OK. Your time... No, you do it! You do it!

Ah, this is awful!

Are you ready?

Yeah, go on.

-Three, two, one. Go!

-Hanoi.

-Vietnam.

-Sarajevo.

-Bosnia Herzegovina.

-Dodoma.

-Tanzania.

-Panama City.

Melekeok...is Palau.

-United Arab Emirates.

-Ottawa.

-Canada.

-Bissau.

-Er... Guinea-Bissau.

-N'Djamena.

-Chad.

-Lisbon.

-Portugal.

-Berne.

-Switzerland.

-Gaborone.

Er... Gaborone - Botswana.

Brazzaville.

-Is...Congo.

-Nouakchott.

-Mauritania.

-Khartoum.

-Sudan. Northern Sudan.

-And stop!

-He's done it!

-CHEERING

I don't know if they're right!

That was grim beyond words!

-So?

-So I'm now going to go and deliberate.

I'm going to watch your attempt back.

And check that all of your answers were correct.

And I'll be back very soon with the result.

And I very hope that I will soon be able to welcome you to the Guinness World Record Holders.

I very hope so, too! Please give it up for Jack!

Thank you!

Brilliant.

Turns out you do know Jack!

-I must have done 30 there, didn't I?

-You did.

We'll just wait and see.

Listen, three pairs remain.

LAUGHTER

Our category for Round Two is... Ignore him!

Our category for Round Two is...

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

And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

Let's find out what the question is.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many best-selling solo singles acts as they could.

-Richard?

-Since the UK charts began in 1952

all the way through to October 2012,

we're looking for the ten biggest-selling male singles acts

and the ten biggest-selling female singles acts, please.

Very, very best of luck.

OK. Thank you very much indeed.

Now, then. Jessica.

Is it Madonna?

Madonna, says Jessica. Madonna.

Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many people said Madonna.

It is right. Very well done, Jessica.

Good score.

24 for Madonna.

Really well done, Jessica. It can really tough on that first podium cos you don't have much time.

She's actually the best-selling female singles act of all time.

Now, Kellie.

I'm going to go for...

..Kylie Minogue.

Kylie Minogue, says Kellie. Kylie Minogue.

Is it right? How many people said Kylie Minogue?

It's right.

Well, our score at the moment, our only score, is 24.

Kylie smashes through that.

Down she goes to six! Very well done indeed, Kellie.

Brilliant answer.

Kylie Minogue.

Terrific answer, Kellie.

Well done. The third best-selling female solo artist.

Janet.

I can't think of any blokes that other people won't leap to say.

So I think I'm going to go with Amy Winehouse.

Amy Winehouse. A bit of a murmur from the crowd here.

Amy Winehouse. Let's see if it's right and if so, how many of our 100 people said Amy Winehouse?

Oh, Janet, Janet, Janet.

I'm afraid an incorrect answer. Scores 100 points.

-Not Amy Winehouse.

-Sorry, Janet.

Sold a lot of albums, but didn't have that many singles in her career, Amy Winehouse.

So not on that top ten list, I'm afraid.

Halfway through the round, let's look at the scores.

Kellie and Tim looking very strong on the back of Kellie's low score.

Then up to 24, Jessica and Neil, looking pretty good, too.

Janet and Andy way out ahead on 100, I'm sorry to say.

So, Andy. Best of luck. We need a really low score from you, though,

if you're going to stand a chance.

Can the second players please take their places?

OK. Andy, we are looking for best-selling male or female solo artists in the UK singles chart.

I'm going to go for, the only person who comes into my head,

-Cliff Richard.

-Cliff Richard. Oh, Tim!

Oh, Tim! That was like a body blow to Tim!

OK. You're the high scorers. No red line for you.

We'll just hope Cliff Richard takes you a long way down the column.

Is it right? How many people said Cliff Richard?

It is right.

141 is your total, Andy.

A good answer, but quite a high score.

Good answer, Andy. 21.5 million singles sold.

He's the second best-selling male solo artist.

-Now, then.

-Yeah.

-Tim.

-Hmm.

-Tim.

-What I'm going to have to do is go to a person

who, even if I'm wrong,

I would, at some stage in my life, have died for.

Which is your man Bowie.

So David Bowie.

David Bowie, surely. Surely. No red line. You're through anyway.

It's right!

Oh, very well done, Tim!

A great answer in every respect.

Scores you four. Takes your total to ten. Very well done.

Yes, he's sold 10.7 million records.

Number five on that list.

There we are, then. Now, Neil.

You're through to the head-to-head.

But we still need a good answer from you.

I'm going to go with Rod Stewart.

Yes, Rod Stewart. No red line for you, you're already through.

But let's see. Rod Stewart, did he make it onto that top ten?

If he did, how many people said Rod Stewart?

It is right!

Four is our lowest score so far.

12 for Rod Stewart.

Takes your total up to 36.

Yeah, terrific play, Neil. 9.9 million records he's sold. Number seven on the list.

There are a few pointless answers here.

Let's take a look at them.

Olivia Newton-John.

One of the best-selling solo single artists of all time.

Eminem, a pointless answer. Britney Spears, a pointless answer.

And the top three, we've already heard a couple already.

These are the ones that most of our 100 said when we asked them online.

Elvis Presley, also 24.

He's the biggest-selling of all time in either category.

And Cliff Richard right at the top, Andy, with 41.

Thanks very much, Richard. At the end of that round, Andy and Janet, you're our high-scorers.

We have to say goodbye to you.

I'm really sorry. It's been lovely having you on the show. Thanks so much for playing.

Andy and Janet. Brilliant contestants.

But before we go to the head-to-head, it's time for Richard's big moment.

Let's welcome back to the stage, from Guinness World Records, Jack!

Spill the beans, Jack!

Well, I can now confirm

that you managed a total of 29 countries in one minute.

So unfortunately, not a successful Guinness World Record attempt.

However, I'm more than happy for you to have another try, if you like.

No, I don't think I could put myself through it.

-I don't think I could do it better or faster.

-Do one more.

-Just do one more!

-No...

-Do one more. Do one more.

Do one more. One more attempt.

APPLAUSE

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Jack, you go off and do whatever it is you have to do.

-But for now, thanks very much, Jack, from Guinness World Records.

-Thank you!

For our remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.

Congratulations, Kellie, Tim, Neil and Jessica.

You've made it through to the head-to-head round

in this celebrity edition record breaking Pointless.

You are one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot, which stands at £2,500.

To decide who's going to play for that jackpot,

you'll now go head-to-head.

The big news is you're now allowed to confer.

The first pair to win two questions will play for that jackpot.

Very best of luck. Let's play the head-to-head.

Here comes your first question. It concerns...

Iconic sporting images, Richard.

We'll show you five images of memorable sporting events from history.

We need you to tell us the year in which one of these five took place, please.

OK. Now, let's reveal our five sporting events. Here they are.

Five iconic sporting events.

Kellie and Tim, you played best throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.

OK. We're going to go for when South Africa won the Rugby World Cup.

Kellie says Mandela wasn't released before '92.

It's got to be in four-year increments from last year back,

-so we're going for...

-'96.

1996.

1996, say Kellie and Tim.

1996.

OK. Neil and Jessica.

This is a tough one, I think.

I know C is Mark Spitz when he won the Olympics.

1974. C. Mark Spitz.

1974 for C.

1974.

OK. So, Kellie and Tim, you said 1996.

Is that right, and if so, how many people said 1996?

-No, bad luck.

-Oh, God!

Bad luck. Not 1996. Neil and Jessica, you've gone for 1974 for C.

All this has to be is right, at this stage.

Just has to be correct and you'll win that point.

Let's find out. 1974. Is it right?

Ooh, that's not right, either.

This is very exciting. After one question, you are absolutely even, nil-nil!

-Richard?

-Just to reassure you, Kellie,

that wasn't your fault. It was Tim's fault entirely.

-Oh.

-Because the Rugby World Cup wasn't 2012.

-It was 2011.

-Oh, God. Course it was!

-So you have to count back from then.

So it's 1995.

That would have scored you six points, as well.

Would have been a terrific answer.

And, Neil, it's not 1974. You're right it's Mark Spitz

with all his gold medals. It was 1972.

'72. Unlucky. That would have scored seven points.

It would have been another good answer.

Now A is "the hand of God" in 1986.

That would have scored 13.

D is Jack Nicklaus playing his last round ever at the British Open.

That was a pointless answer, 2005.

Well done if you said that.

And the last one is Torvill and Dean at the Olympics of 1984.

-That would have scored 20 points.

-Thanks very much, Richard.

Here comes your second question.

It concerns...

AUDIENCE LAUGHTER

Facial hair. Richard.

We're going to show you five names of styles of facial hair,

but we've removed alternate letters from each one.

Fill in those gaps and give us the most obscure.

-Good luck.

-OK. So, facial hair with bits missing! Here is our board.

I'll read those again without the blanks.

Now, Neil and Jessica, you go first this time.

Is number three "stubble"?

You're going to say "stubble" for the middle one. Stubble,

say Neil and Jessica.

Now, Kellie and Tim, talk us through the other styles of facial hair.

OK. We've got Fu Manchu, Handlebar Moustache,

Mutton Chops.

Do you think Mutton Chops?

I think Mutton Chops, or Fu Manchu.

What's the demographic of the voters?

Come on, let's get an answer some time!

We'll go for Mutton Chops.

Mutton Chops. Stubble versus Mutton Chops.

Neil and Jessica said stubble

Is it right? How many people said stubble?

It's right.

But it's a high score. 61.

61. Now, Kellie and Tim have gone for Mutton Chops.

Let's see if that's right. How many people said Mutton Chops?

It's right.

And it wins the question. Very well done.

13. Very well done indeed.

Very well done. Kellie and Tim,

after two questions, you're up one-nil.

Well played, Kellie and Tim.

You'd have got even fewer points if you'd said Fu Manchu.

That would have scored two points.

-No!

-Terrific answer.

Handlebar Moustache would have scored 39 points.

Sometimes you see people in your local arts cinema or bookshop

who have that tiny bit of hair just under their lip

and just above the chin.

And it's called a soul patch.

And that would have scored one point.

Best answer there. Very well done if you said that at home.

Thanks very much indeed. Here's your third question.

Neil and Jessica, you have to win this one to stay in the game.

It concerns...

Spain, Richard.

Going to give you five clues now to facts about Spain.

Best of luck. If you get the most obscure answer, you'll score the point.

OK. Let's reveal our five clues to facts about Spain.

Here they are. We've got...

I'll read those one last time.

There we are. Five clues to facts about Spain.

Kellie and Tim, you go first this time.

OK. Um...

It's between two, the currency or the mountain range.

Which is least likely?

We're going to go for the mountain range. I'll just say it!

The mountain range, which is the Pyrenees.

The Pyrenees, say Kellie and Tim.

There we go.

Neil and Jessica, take us through the rest of the board, if you can.

No idea, apart from hopefully one of them.

We'll go with the name of the main unit of pre-euro currency.

-Pesetas.

-The peseta.

OK. So we have the Pyrenees versus the peseta.

So, Pyrenees, first. Is it right, and how many people said the Pyrenees?

It's right.

Ooh.

Neil and Jessica, you have to win this one to stay in the game.

46 you have to beat. The peseta is what you've said

for the pre-euro currency. Is it right? How many people said it?

It is right.

Is it enough to keep you... Oh, no, it's not!

69.

Very well done, Kellie and Tim.

After three questions, you are through to the final two-nil.

Unlucky, Neil and Jessica. A good answer, but not low enough to beat the Pyrenees, I'm afraid.

The other three all would have won the points.

The longest river entirely in Spain

is the Ebro.

Four points it would have scored.

The Costa del Sol is located in Malaga.

That would have scored you three points.

And the year the civil war started.

Tim, do you want to have a go at that?

'37?

Brilliant. 1936.

Scored 14 points. What is it with you, being one year above?

Yeah, I don't know.

Thanks very much, Richard.

So our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid, is Neil and Jessica.

But you have stormed through this edition of Pointless, special record-breaking edition.

Very well done. It's been lovely having you on the show.

Thank you so much for playing. Neil and Jessica.

But for Kellie and Tim, it's now time for our Pointless final.

This is very, very exciting indeed.

Richard, Richard, Richard. It's the moment of truth.

Time to welcome back onto the stage for the third time

from Guinness World Records, it's Jack.

-Jack, welcome back.

-Thank you.

I feel there should have been a fanfare for you there!

Now, you've got the results.

I do have a final result for you.

You managed to correctly identify

a total

of 30 countries!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Jack, thank you very much. Thanks very much indeed.

-Richard!

-That's amazing!

I never doubted you!

Thank you!

-Look at that. Fantastic. Very well done.

-How about that?

A massive thank you to Jack from Guinness World Records

and a bigger thank you for Neil.

Thank you so much.

Oh! Wow. Well done, Richard. Very well done.

-Thank you.

-Superb.

Congratulations, obviously, to Richard,

but also to you, Kellie and Tim.

You've fought off the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy.

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot for your charities.

At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,500.

As always, the first thing you have to do is choose a category.

You have four choices to choose from. They are...

Personally, I did work in New York once.

-Let's do New York.

-Shall we?

-Yeah, I love New York.

-I've been there.

-New York.

-New York.

There we are. You've as good as won!

So you're going for New York. New York, Richard.

As always in our end game, you have 60 seconds to come up with three answers.

But we'll give you three options - they're all to do with New York.

And your three options are...

There are 62 state counties.

We won't accept New York County itself, but any of the other 61 state counties of New York.

Any New York state team

who has a home in New York.

Any of those, please.

You've got 60 seconds, choose any of those options

or choose them all. We just need three answers.

As always, you've got a minute to come up with three answers.

All you need to do to win the jackpot of £2,500 for your charities

is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

Any of your answers can come from any of these three.

-Are you ready?

-Yep.

-We're ready.

-Ready.

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

Have you ever watched Friends?

Yes. Tom Selleck was in it for a long time

-as Courteney Cox's boyfriend. I think we should say him.

-Fantastic.

-New York professional sports teams?

-Yankees.

-I thought Yankees.

They probably all know that. What's the other one?

The New York Jets?

I don't know. That would be a guesstimate.

That would be a guess.

The New York Red Sox?

-I don't...

-No, Boston.

What about New York state counties?

Madison County. Is that one? I don't know.

-I've no idea.

-I've no idea.

New York State counties. New Jersey would be one.

No, that's Newark. Newark, New Jersey.

Because that's a state. New York, New York. That's why they named it twice because it's part of a county.

Oh, God, I'm getting confused. OK.

So we've got Tom Selleck. That's his name, right?

Is a part of New York City a county?

-Like Hoboken.

-You mean like the Bronx?

-Ten seconds left.

-Queens.

-But that's not a county, that's a district, isn't it?

Oh, God. I don't know.

Um, um, um. OK.

We'll have to go with Yankees.

OK. That's your time up, I'm sorry to say.

-Well, I think we're definitely...

-I now need your three answers.

-Kellie?

-OK.

An actor that has appeared in ten or more episodes of Friends, I believe is Tom Selleck.

Tom Selleck. Tom Selleck. OK.

-OK.

-I really don't know because I don't follow baseball, but it's got to be the Yankees.

-That's one of them.

-The Yankees. OK.

The Yankees, a professional sports team. OK. And thirdly?

Counties. We're well out of...

I want to... Cos I like the name Hoboken.

It's probably not a county. It's a place.

-Hoboken.

-Yes.

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

Probably Hoboken.

-I'm pretty sure it's not.

-Hoboken we'll put last.

-I like hers best.

-Which shall we put first, your least likely?

-Yankees.

-The Yankees.

-Least likely, yes.

-I'll put them up on the board in that order.

We have got...

Very best of luck.

Your first answer was the Yankees.

The Yankees.

Obviously it has to be correct. If it's that and it's pointless,

you'll win today's jackpot. Let's find out.

The New York Yankees. Are they a professional New York team?

Yes, they are, is the answer.

Now, if this takes us all the way down to zero,

then you will leave with 2,500 for your charities.

49.

You got it right. You got it right.

It was right. This is good. A very good start.

Your second answer was Tom Selleck.

Obviously this has to be right, then it has to be pointless to win that jackpot.

-Kellie, what's your charity?

-It's called Sing With Me Happily.

It's a community school based in a small village in Mozambique

that my friend went and set up by herself.

So that's what it's for.

Excellent. Excellent charity. Very well done.

Tim, how about you?

My charity is the National Autistic Society

which was formed by the estimable Jane Asher

in order to raise awareness of autism.

Very good indeed. Best of luck. Great charities.

Very best of luck. Two good answers left on the board.

Let's hope one of those wins that jackpot for your charities.

Your second answer was Tom Selleck.

Is it correct? If it's pointless, you'll win today's jackpot.

Is Tom Selleck a cast member of Friends for ten or more episodes? Let's find out.

It's right.

The New York Yankees took us down to 49.

Tom Selleck takes us past 49

through the 30s into the 20s.

Into the teens!

Oh, not quite into single figures.

11 for Tom Selleck.

OK. So, also not a pointless answer.

So everything is now riding on your final answer.

Hoboken. Let's see if that's right. You have no idea if it is.

-It's just a word you like, Tim!

-Yeah!

Let's find out if it's right. Then let's find out if it's pointless.

Hoboken for £2,500.

No! Bad luck!

Bad luck!

Two perfectly good answers, there, though.

Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.

I'm afraid that means you don't win today's jackpot for your charities.

However, as it's a Celebrity Special,

we are going to donate £500 to each celebrity pair for their respective charities.

We've really enjoyed having you on the show today and you get to take home our Pointless trophy.

Very well done, Kellie and Tim. Brilliant.

Yes, you have played terrifically throughout.

And I also like the word Hoboken! It was worth going for.

It's a city in New Jersey, Hoboken.

Let's see some of the pointless answers in the three categories

in case people at home got some of these.

We'll start with actors in Friends.

Judy Geller, who was Ross and Monica's mum

was played by Christina Pickles.

Gunther from Central Perk is James Michael Tyler.

Jane Sibbett who plays Carol, Ross's ex-wife.

And Maggie Wheeler plays Janice,

a pointless answer. Well done if you said any of those.

Now, New York State counties.

Lots of pointless answers here. Monroe, Nassau,

Richmond, St Lawrence, all sorts of different ones.

Lots and lots. If anybody knows New York State very well

will have done well on that, I suspect.

And the sports teams.

You should have stayed out of New York City.

Buffalo Bills, the American Football team from Buffalo.

And the hockey team, Buffalo Sabres.

Those were the two pointless answers there.

Well done if you said any of those at home. Tough luck, guys.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Kellie and Tim.

It's been wonderful having you here. Thanks so much for playing.

Really great contestants. Kellie and Tim, everyone.

Thank you!

Join us again when we'll put more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.

Meanwhile it's goodbye from Richard...

And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye!
