0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:25 > 0:00:31Thank you very much. I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to this period edition of Pointless Celebrities -
0:00:31 > 0:00:34where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- APPLAUSE - And couple number one.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Well, this is Nerys Hughes, I'm Martin Jarvis.
0:00:44 > 0:00:49I suppose, if we're talking about costume drama,
0:00:49 > 0:00:52- First of all, my beard is real. - What are you saying?
0:00:52 > 0:00:55I'm saying, is that real, your mutton chops?
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- ALEXANDER SNORTS IN DISBELIEF - And I can see maybe that you've grown those overnight,
0:00:58 > 0:01:01pushing very hard from the inside, I don't know.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03But going back to costume drama, I suppose
0:01:03 > 0:01:07my first was The Forsyte Saga and then Nicholas Nickleby.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- And Nerys, what was yours? - Mine was The District Nurse.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13I was Megan, from the Welsh valleys.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Lovely to have you here. A warm welcome to Martin and Nerys.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- And couple number two.- I'd like to introduce my friend Colin Baker,
0:01:25 > 0:01:30- who was in, amongst other things, War And Peace.- Indeed.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- And Doctor Who. Travelling in time, that's period, isn't it?- Absolutely.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Whereas my friend here, Simon Williams,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40who I've known for far too many years to recount here...
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- 48.- That's exactly what it was.
0:01:42 > 0:01:48He distinguished himself in Upstairs, Downstairs and many things since.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Colin and Simon - warm welcome!
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- And couple number three. - Hello. I'm Chris Timothy
0:01:57 > 0:01:59and I was in All Creatures Great And Small
0:01:59 > 0:02:02and this is the tall Matthew Kelly!
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Good evening. I was in Bleak House.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10I played Old Mr Turveydrop who was the old dancing instructor.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13I've known Christopher for many, many years.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15And he just makes me feel taller.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Matthew and Chris!
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- And finally, couple number four. - Good afternoon, young master.
0:02:25 > 0:02:30- Good afternoon, Pam.- I'm Pam Ferris. I play Sister Evangelina
0:02:30 > 0:02:32in Call The Midwife.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34This is my friend and co-worker.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Helen George and I play Trixie Franklin in Call The Midwife.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Helen and Pam, everyone!
0:02:40 > 0:02:43And these are today's contestants.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46We'll get to know more of you throughout the show.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49That leaves one person to introduce. He's too clever by half,
0:02:49 > 0:02:53twice as clever as me, not half as clever as he thinks he is, a true mathematical oddity.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- It's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.- Hiya.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Hi, everybody. Hiya.- Well, now.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Who've you come as? You look like a sadistic mill owner.- Thanks.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08You look like a sinister sexton.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Very much quitting the "ton" into sexton.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19But look, I've got old-fashioned stuff - I've got no computer today.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24- Well, you wouldn't. You've got an owl instead.- I've got an abacus.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Oh, of course.- And a quill.- Yeah.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30But I notice they've still got a massive tower which is
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- powered by electricity...- Yes. - ..and yet I'm not allowed a computer. - Well, there we are.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Tell you something else I've got. HE RINGS BELL
0:03:37 > 0:03:39I'll be doing that an awful lot during today's show.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- There you are.- Only cos I've never had a bell before.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45All the questions are going to be pre-1870.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- Perfect. Specialist subject. - Yeah, exactly.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53And another thing - HE RINGS BELL
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- Also, have you seen my globe?- Yeah.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01I've put a little flag there which is the Central African Republic.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- There we are.- It's in there. - Good stuff.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- Thank you very much, Richard. - It's a pleasure.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09All our questions were put to 100 people before the show.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13Our contestants must find the answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17They're trying to find a pointless answer, that none of the 100 gave.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20When that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25In today's show, each celebrity is playing for a nominated charity,
0:04:25 > 0:04:29so we will start off with a jackpot of 2,500 guineas.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Just going to pop these down here. There we are.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46In this round, I'll take an answer from each of you, but no conferring.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49The pair with the highest score will be eliminated.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53So do all you can to make sure that is not you, Nerys.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55OK, our first category today is...
0:04:55 > 0:04:57..People.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Can you all decide who's going to go first and who second?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Want to go first?- OK.- You know about people, don't you?- Yes.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12OK. And the question concerns...
0:05:12 > 0:05:14HE READS
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Famous people whose surnames begin with C, Richard?
0:05:18 > 0:05:23We'll give you seven clues to famous people whose surnames begin with C.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25You need to give us the most obscure.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28There'll be 14 in all to try at home. Very best of luck.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31OK, so we are looking for famous people whose surnames begin with C.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Here is the first board.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36HE READS OPTIONS
0:05:53 > 0:05:55I'll read those all one last time.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17There we are, seven clues to seven people beginning with C.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Nerys and Martin - you all drew lots before the show and you'll go first.
0:06:21 > 0:06:27Nerys. Now, what do you think will be your strong suits on Pointless?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- Strong suits? - We know about your acting.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32I know... I know about nothing, really.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Vegetables. I like eating.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- Y-y-you... OK. - I like eating. Shakespeare.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41You like eating Shakespeare? Good.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43I like... Mmm...
0:06:43 > 0:06:46No, honestly, I know far more my faults than my good sides.
0:06:46 > 0:06:53- OK, what are you dreading?- Dreading? Reality shows. Popstars for now.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- But people beginning with C? - People beginning with C, yeah.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- How are you feeling?- Not too bad. I know about three of them.- OK.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- What are you going to go for? Nice, low score.- Um,...
0:07:04 > 0:07:08I'll go for the director of The Godfather. Francis Coppola.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13Francis Coppola says Nerys. Let's see how many people said Francis Coppola.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17She's right.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Still going down, Nerys. Still going down.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- 12! - APPLAUSE
0:07:25 > 0:07:28That's a great answer. Very good low score.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Very well played, Nerys. It's tough on that first podium. Good start.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37My hat is genuinely cutting off circulation to my head.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Really painful. But I can't take it off cos there are women present.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45At the end of this round, I'm going to take this jacket off.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- It's getting hot. - Ooh, are you? Hello(!)
0:07:48 > 0:07:51OK, there we are. So, Colin, welcome to the show.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55How are you feeling about the full names of these people?
0:07:55 > 0:08:00I'll play safe and say that the Lord Protector of England was Oliver Cromwell.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04Cromwell says Colin. Let's see how many of our 100 said Cromwell.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11It's right. Now, 12 is our nice low score at the moment.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Where's Oliver Cromwell going to end up?
0:08:13 > 0:08:1522. Not bad, Colin.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Not at all bad.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Well played, Colin. Became Lord Protector in 1653,
0:08:21 > 0:08:24which was 200 years ago today.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Yes.- That's an 1853 joke, there.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- HE CLEARS THROAT - Chris.- Yes?- Welcome.- Thank you.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35As you said, many people know you from All Creatures Great And Small.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40- You played James Herriot.- I did. - But you've done masses of acting.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44You were in Laurence Olivier's original National Theatre ensemble.
0:08:44 > 0:08:50I was, playing the smallest parts that have ever been written, but, yes, I was in it for three years.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- How do you feel about this board? - I won't do the first one,
0:08:53 > 0:08:56cos I imagine it'll score highly.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- So I'll go for the bottom one and say Jimmy Carter.- Jimmy Carter.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Let's see how many of our 100 said Jimmy Carter.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08It's right.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12So 22 is our high score, 12 our low. Where will Jimmy Carter take you?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- 15! - APPLAUSE
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- HE CHUCKLES - Jimmy Carter.
0:09:19 > 0:09:25Another good answer. He was the first US President to be born in a hospital, Jimmy Carter.
0:09:25 > 0:09:31- I don't know what to do with that. - There you go.- Yeah. You like that? - Wow.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33I'm doing that without a computer, you see that?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Is it true?- It is true, yeah. - Where were they all born before that?
0:09:36 > 0:09:43- Home deliveries.- Yes. There we go. - Midwives.- Of course! Of course.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46It's a tough show, this, for Christopher,
0:09:46 > 0:09:49he's under a lot of pressure, you know that, don't you?
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- Cos his wife, Annie is a big fan of the show. Is that right?- Yeah.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- I'm a big fan, too. - LAUGHTER
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- Now, Pam. Welcome, Pam.- Hello.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01You didn't mention Ma Larkin, of course.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Oh, that was period as well, same period, actually. Late '50s.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08I seem to be stuck in the late '50s.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13- Pam, when you're not acting, what do you get up to?- I like to cook.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18I like to read. I like to garden and I do all those cosy things.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- Good. How is your general knowledge? - I am constantly surprised by it.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I have no formal education, virtually,
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- so I'm always surprised by what I do and don't know.- Yeah.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33So I'm just going to cast myself on the seas of fate.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Good. Good place to be, on the seas of fate.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39And you've left me slim pickings, quite frankly.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41But sometimes that's quite good because it forces you
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- to answer something you didn't think you knew. Talk us through the board. - Yeah, easy.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- Talk us through all of them.- No. - Then pick one.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51I'll just go for the top one and forget the others.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56- That'll be Sean Connery. - OK. Sean Connery says Pam.
0:10:56 > 0:11:02Let's see if that's right and see how many of our 100 people didn't say Sean Connery.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07It's right. Ooh! Still going down.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12- Look at that. 50!- Would you believe it?!- Not bad!- Not bad, Pam.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- Still stuck in the '50s. - There you go. Stuck in the '50s!
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Sean Connery.- Not too much damage done.- Not bad.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Especially on that fourth podium when there's much less choice.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Let's look at the rest.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- The lead singer of Nirvana is... - Kurt Cobain.- ..Kurt Cobain.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Yeah, that would've scored 38.
0:11:31 > 0:11:37The explorer who sailed from Bristol to North America was John Cabot.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Would've scored three points.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44The last one is a pointless answer. You need specialist knowledge.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Anyone at home who said Scott Crossfield, a US army pilot...
0:11:48 > 0:11:51It was a pointless answer so terrific if you said that.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Halfway through the round, let's look at the scores.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58The best score, by quite a long way, Nerys, was yours.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03Nerys and Martin looking strong, as indeed are Chris and Matthew.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05At 22, we find Colin and Simon.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Pam and Helen, you're out in front.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10But Helen, you get first pick of the next board.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:12:15 > 0:12:19OK, we'll put seven more clues on the board. Here they are.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- We have got... - HE READS
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I'll read those one final time.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10There we are, seven clues of differing degrees of toughness.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Helen, we need the names of these people and they all begin with C.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- You're on 50. We need a nice, low score.- Yes, we do.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- How do you feel about this? - All right, middling.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25I was probably better on the last lot. Hopefully we'll get one.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30I think I'm going to go for the writer married to an archaeologist.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34- I think it was Agatha Christie. - Agatha Christie says Helen.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38You're on 50, there's no red line. Just hope this goes down a long way.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43Agatha Christie. Is it right? How many of our 100 people said it?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- It is right.- Yes!
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- SHE GASPS - Still going down.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Three! Brilliant! - APPLAUSE
0:13:52 > 0:13:58Very well done indeed, Helen. 53 is your total. Very respectable.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01That's a terrific answer, Helen. Best answer yet.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Agatha Christie is the bestselling novelist of all time.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- Now then, Matthew, welcome. - Cheers, mate.- Great to have you.
0:14:09 > 0:14:14You have a fantastic career. You started as a much-loved TV presenter
0:14:14 > 0:14:16throughout the '80s and '90s.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Then you put it all behind you, strolled off to be an actor,
0:14:20 > 0:14:23garnering plaudits wherever you go.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Have I been garnering plaudits? Who knew?
0:14:26 > 0:14:30- I was an actor before I did all that.- Yeah.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33and so while I was doing the presenting I did loads of acting all the time,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36but you know yourself, when you go into the theatre, hardly anybody ever sees you,
0:14:36 > 0:14:39so it looks like you're practising your art in private, really.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42So then when you finish all that and go back into acting, people go,
0:14:42 > 0:14:44"Oh, I didn't know you could do that!"
0:14:44 > 0:14:48I say, "Well, I've been practising for a long time now."
0:14:48 > 0:14:51I'd now rather say other people's words than my own,
0:14:51 > 0:14:55because, um, people are a lot brighter than I am.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59They say things a lot more succinctly than I would.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01So I'd rather be playing and dressing up.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05And turning round on stage and talking to other people.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10You have to score 37 or less to avoid being the high scorers.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Well, I know a few of these.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Some of them I don't know the first name of.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18I'm going to go for Downtown.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Married to Claude Wolff in 1961 - that's Petula Clark.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Petula Clark says Matthew. Here is your red line.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28- If you get below that, you are through to the next round.- Thanks.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34It's right.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Looking very strong. You've done it.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- Very well done. 25! - APPLAUSE
0:15:41 > 0:15:4325 takes your total up to 40.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Well played, Matthew. She sold 70 million records.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Now then, Simon. Simon. Welcome, welcome.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55Now, then, Simon. You're on 22. The high scorers still, on 53, are Helen and Pam.
0:15:55 > 0:15:5830 is all you need to score. 30 or less.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03I think I'm going for the silent film actor who died on Christmas Day, 1977.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05I think it was Charlie Chaplin.
0:16:05 > 0:16:10Here is your red line. If you get below that, you're in the next round
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Charlie Chaplin. How many people said it?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14It is right.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- Ooh! 41. - APPLAUSE
0:16:19 > 0:16:2341 for Charlie Chaplin takes your total to 63.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Our new high-scorers, Simon and Colin.- A surprisingly big score.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31Charlie Chaplin perhaps the most famous silent movie star of all,
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- which is why everyone said it.- Mmm.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- Martin.- Hello, there.- Martin.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Now, then, aside from your acting and your endless voice work -
0:16:40 > 0:16:45you do an awful lot of voice work - you've read a great many books.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- I have, and occasionally recorded them.- Exactly.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- Do you remember all the things you've read?- I remember quite a lot,
0:16:52 > 0:16:54because I see the pictures in my head.
0:16:54 > 0:17:00One thing about reading recording is that the hidden agenda is that it's a reading,
0:17:00 > 0:17:06and you hope the listening audience will see the pictures in their head,
0:17:06 > 0:17:08that you're seeing in yours,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11and they forget they're being read to and it's like a bit of life.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- That's what I try to do, anyway. - It is.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Martin, you're on 12. The high score is 63, Colin and Simon.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21- If you can score 50 or less, you're in round two.- Right.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- Can you fill in the blanks? - I can fill in most of them.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Um, that's Winston Churchill. Johnny Cash.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32The tricky one, for me, is the one at the bottom.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Would more people answer Churchill than Johnny Cash?
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- I'll go for Johnny Cash.- Johnny Cash says Martin. Here's your red line.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43If you get below that, you are through to round two.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Johnny Cash. How many of our 100 people said it?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Well, it's right.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Yep! You've done it.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55You've done it! 18 for Johnny Cash. Very well done.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- That takes your total up to 30. - APPLAUSE
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Terrific work, Martin. Very well done.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07- Can I quickly ask you a question? - Yes.- My mutton chops are real,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- cos they said you have to grow them. Are yours real?- Yeah, yeah.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Oh, cos...- Why? Oh! - LAUGHTER
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Yeah.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- Yes.- Good, cos I don't like to think I grew these and you've just cheated.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- I wouldn't do that.- Absolutely certain? OK, good.- Good.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Let's go through these now.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31"Served as Prime Minister..." It is Churchill.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Phenomenally low score.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- Given that Chaplin scored 41, Churchill scored 28.- Oh, wow.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40An awful lot of people said Chamberlain for that question.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Ah.- You would think Churchill would be fairly obvious.
0:18:43 > 0:18:48"The composer of the Star Trek theme" - this would be your name if you were a sadistic mill owner.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51It's Alexander Courage.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55One point to any Trekkie who got that. I suspect some of you did.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59And the top one, it's John Cadbury and it's a pointless answer as well.
0:18:59 > 0:19:04Thank you. Now, at the end of our first round, the pair heading home,
0:19:04 > 0:19:08with a high score of 63... It's not high, it's just the highest.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I'm afraid, Colin and Simon, it's you.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15- I'm so sorry.- And he knew John Cadbury.- And he knew John Cadbury!
0:19:15 > 0:19:20- I'm really sorry to say goodbye. - It's been such fun. Goodbye. - Thank you very much.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- Simon and Colin!- Good luck!
0:19:23 > 0:19:27But for the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Well, I'm going to... I'm just going to disrobe at this point.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37- AUDIENCE AND CAST WHISTLE - Yes, thank you. Yes.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- How about that? - There we go.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43- Have you got a medal?- Yes. - What was that for?- Valour.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44LAUGHTER
0:19:44 > 0:19:49- You really are Alexander Courage, aren't you?- Yes, yes, I am.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Now, then. Three pairs remain. Ooh, that was close, Helen and Pam.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58- Pam, you owe Helen.- I do.- It was a fantastic answer.- She owes me beer.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Agatha Christie. Well, very best of luck to all three remaining pairs.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Our category for Round Two is...
0:20:04 > 0:20:06..music.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11- Bet you're good at this.- Decide who's going to go first, who second. - Who's first and second?- You go first
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19OK, and the question concerns...
0:20:19 > 0:20:21..members of "boy" bands.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Members of BOY bands, Richard.
0:20:23 > 0:20:29In a moment, Xander will show you the names of five groups, all of whom have "boy" in their title.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Give us the names of any of the original members of these groups.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Any of the members when they released their first album.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39We want anyone who was in The Beach Boys in their first single.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Any original member of the five groups you're about to see.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47As Richard mentioned, we'll put five bands on the board and they'll remain up through the round.
0:20:47 > 0:20:52We'll go up and down the line. You have to name the original members.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54And on our board we have today -
0:20:54 > 0:20:57HE READS
0:21:00 > 0:21:02I'll read them one final time.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Now, Martin. How happy are you with this?
0:21:07 > 0:21:12Very unhappy, cos I thought it might be Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15I'm not that good on those, but better than on these.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Now, let's have a name.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21I'm going to have to go for the bottom one. Brian Wilson.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26Brian Wilson. Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29It is right.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Still going down, Martin. Very well done. 16!
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Well done!
0:21:39 > 0:21:43- 16 for Brian Wilson. - He formed the Beach Boys in 1961.
0:21:43 > 0:21:49It was a shot in the dark, cos it's just the name of a neighbour I had when I lived in south London.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54- How is Brian?- If he's watching... Hi, Brian! Thanks.- Hey, Brian.
0:21:54 > 0:21:59- You know Brian Wilson. - Yeah, we were two doors up from him. - He's lovely.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Still got our strimmer, Brian. That's all I'll say.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06- Thanks very much indeed. Now, then, Matthew.- Yeah?- Matthew.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11I'm just thrilled to be here in this second round, it's just fantastic.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15- What are you going to go for? - I'll give you the Pet Shop Boys.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19- I think it's Neil Tennant. - Neil Tennant says Matthew.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Let's see how many of our 100 said Neil Tennant.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26He's right.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31- 24.- Ooh!
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- 24! - APPLAUSE
0:22:35 > 0:22:40Good answer. Pet Shop Boys had a Christmas number one - Always On My Mind.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45Fairytale Of New York was never a Christmas number one, cos of Neil Tennant.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- Thank you, Richard. Now, Helen.- Hello.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50You looked delighted when this round was announced.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53I was a massive Boyzone fan.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56But the surnames are tricky.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59So, I love Boyzone and I went to lots of their concerts.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02So I'm going to go with Boyzone, and
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- I'm going to go with Shane Lynch. - Shane Lynch, says Helen.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 said it.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12It's right.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Still going down, look at that! Brilliant answer. Well done.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Another cracking answer. 8 is your score.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Well played, Helen. Agatha Christie and Shane Lynch. Some knowledge.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Louis Walsh put Boyzone together, they had six number-one singles.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Thanks. Halfway through the round, let's see the scores.
0:23:34 > 0:23:398 the best score. Pam and Helen have a commanding lead at this stage.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44Up to 16, where we find Martin and Nerys, and 24 for Matthew and Chris.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Chris, we need a low-scoring answer to keep you in the game.
0:23:47 > 0:23:53Best of luck. Can the second players please take their places on the podium?
0:23:54 > 0:23:58OK, we are looking for members of all these "boy" bands.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03- Now, Pam, Pam. - I knew I would be easily unhorsed.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05And I am now unhorsed.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09No, listen, I really don't know. I'm utterly adrift.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13I'll make up an American-sounding name for the Beach Boys.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17Pam, before you do make up a name, just so you know, this has worked
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- twice before in Pointless history where people have made up a name.- No!
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Someone made up a name for a politician, got a pointless answer.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- I remember that one! - Someone made a name for an actor and got a pointless answers.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29It's doable. It is vanishingly unlikely, but it is doable.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Right, then, Pam, what are you going to go for?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34George...
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- ..Brown. - LAUGHTER
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Er, George Brown. Well, the high scorers, on 24, are Chris and Matthew. You're on 8.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46If you score 15 or less, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Let's see if George Brown was in the Beach Boys.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- Oh, Pam!- Really?
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- That's a shock.- That is a shock. - 'Fraid he wasn't.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58That scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00It may not be the last 100 points of this round, though.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05- Richard?- I think you could be right, looking at some people's expressions
0:25:05 > 0:25:09- Thanks very much. Now, then, Chris. - Yes?- Chris.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Oh, no. Chris, have you got an answer?
0:25:12 > 0:25:14I have, yeah.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18108 are our high scorers, Pam and Helen. You're on 24.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22- If we get 100, we're gone. - 83 or less keeps you in the game.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Matthew is trying to act the name of a Pet Shop Boy for you.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Stephen Gately.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Stephen Gately. There is your red line, Chris.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Let's see how many of our 100 said Stephen Gateley.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40That is a brilliant answer, Chris.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- 22! - APPLAUSE
0:25:47 > 0:25:4922 takes your total up to 46.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52You are in the head-to-head. Richard?
0:25:52 > 0:25:56He passed away, sadly, in 2009 - one of the founding members of Boyzone.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00Now, then. Nerys, have you come up with a good answer?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Rowan... Rowan... that Irish boy.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06I love him, he's so sexy.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08And I can't remember his name.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Sadly, we're going to need an answer. What are you going to say?
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Um-um-um-um-um... Rowan Kelly.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21- Rowan Kelly.- No. - Rowan Kelly, says Nerys.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- You need to score 91 or less. There's your red line.- It's 100.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Let's just see. Rowan Kelly may have been in the Beastie Boys.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Rowan Kelly. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35No! Bad luck, Nerys. I'm so sorry.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39It's horrible when you're on the spot. You'll kick yourself.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- Sorry, Martin.- That scores 100 points and your total is 116.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- I'm really sorry.- Yeah.- Bad luck. - The end.- So sorry, Nerys.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- It's Ronan Keating.- Ronan Keating! - Of course!
0:26:50 > 0:26:55Ronan would have scored you 49 points and seen you safely through.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Here are the lowest-scoring answers. There's only one pointless answer.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02The Beastie Boys are the best place for your lowest scorers.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Mike D, or Michael Diamond, was a pointless answer.
0:27:05 > 0:27:10Adam Horovitz scored one and Adam Yauch who sadly passed away in 2012 would also have scored one.
0:27:10 > 0:27:16The Beach Boys - you've got Brian Wilson's two brothers, Dennis would have scored two and Carl four.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20Also Al Jardine and Mike Love would have scored three and two points.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- The other Pet Shop Boy is Chris Lowe.- Oh, yes.
0:27:23 > 0:27:28Chris Lowe would've scored two points. Well done if you said that.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31The lowest scoring of the Boyzone boys was Mikey Graham.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- Couldn't remember his surname. - Mikey would've scored you three.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Keith Duffy would've scored 11.
0:27:37 > 0:27:42And the Backstreet Boys - five points for AJ McLean, Howie Durrough and Kevin Richardson.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45And Nick Carter scored 13.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49Let's look at the top answers, the ones most of our 100 people said.
0:27:49 > 0:27:54Stephen Gately - 22, Neil Tennant - 24 and Ronan Keating - 49.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Very well done if you got a low scorer at home.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Still holding on to that quill, Richard. Good.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- I might keep it for the regular shows, now.- I think you should.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04- It's a- good look. It's quite nice.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08Thanks very much. So Nerys and Martin, I'm so sorry.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Our high scorers, there. It got harder and harder as it went along.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16- Great fun.- They all took all the ones I knew, so I had nothing left.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19That's always the way, though.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Ah. Well, it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26- Thank you both so much for playing. Nerys and Martin.- Thank you!
0:28:26 > 0:28:30But for the remaining two pairs, it's time for our head-to-head.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39Congratulations, Matthew and Chris, Helen and Pam.
0:28:39 > 0:28:44You are one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot which stands at £2,500.
0:28:46 > 0:28:51Now, to decide which pair will play for that money, you'll now go head-to-head.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53But you're now allowed to confer.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56The first pair to win two questions will play for that jackpot.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00This is going to be very close indeed. Best of luck.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Let's play the head-to-head.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04APPLAUSE
0:29:06 > 0:29:09OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:29:10 > 0:29:13..film costumes. What are they?
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Film costumes.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- I don't recognise either of those words.- No.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22We'll show you five costumes that have been worn in famous films.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26Just tell us the name of the film it was worn in. Best of luck.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Very good. Let's reveal our five film costumes.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31We have got...
0:29:44 > 0:29:47OK, there we are. Five famous film costumes.
0:29:47 > 0:29:55Matthew and Chris, you've played best throughout the show so far, so you go first.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58- You can do the answer.- Oh, man! Don't make me do that!
0:29:58 > 0:30:03- All right, I'm tempted to go for C and say...- We'll go for C, then.
0:30:03 > 0:30:08- Breakfast At Tiffany's. Audrey Hepburn.- C. Breakfast At Tiffany's.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12Now, Helen and Pam, talk us through the rest of the board.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16Well, we're struggling with A. I was thinking, maybe, Mary Poppins.
0:30:16 > 0:30:21Yes, we think B's the duet from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25C - Breakfast At Tiffany's. D - maybe Howard's End?
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- Not sure.- Not convinced. - Great Gatsby?
0:30:28 > 0:30:33- Could be a few.- Yes. And Wizard Of Oz for E.- So which is the best?
0:30:33 > 0:30:36- I think B.- OK. - I think go with Marilyn.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. - Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42So we have Breakfast At Tiffany's versus Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
0:30:42 > 0:30:47Matthew and Chris said C is Breakfast At Tiffany's. Let's see how many people said it.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50It's right.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57- Ooh, that's a great answer. 11. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:30:57 > 0:30:5911 for Breakfast At Tiffany's.
0:31:00 > 0:31:05Helen and Pam went for Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Let's see if it's right.
0:31:05 > 0:31:0811 is what you have to beat.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11It's right.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Is it going to beat 11? Down it goes...
0:31:15 > 0:31:17- Ooh! 18. Bad luck. - APPLAUSE
0:31:17 > 0:31:20- Very close, though.- Well done.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Very well done, Matthew and Chris. You are up one-nil.
0:31:22 > 0:31:28Very good answers. That's Marilyn Monroe's dress when she sings Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Audrey Hepburn's dress they sold at auction.
0:31:31 > 0:31:36- Went for £467,000.- Wow.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40Now, A was worn by Eliza Doolittle.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43- My Fair Lady.- Singing The Rain In Spain in My Fair Lady.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46It was a terrific answer. Would've scored you one point.
0:31:46 > 0:31:51And D is worn by Julie Andrews...
0:31:51 > 0:31:55- ..in the Sound Of Music.- Really? - I wouldn't have got that.
0:31:55 > 0:31:56It would've scored you three points.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00The biggest scorer - the ruby slippers from The Wizard Of Oz.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04That would've scored you 49 points.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08Thank you very much. Here comes your second question, Helen and Pam.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11You must win this one to stay in the game. Good luck. It concerns...
0:32:11 > 0:32:16- ..snooker. - Thank goodness for that(!)
0:32:17 > 0:32:22- Richard, snooker?- The good news is, everybody looks upset. Don't panic.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26We'll give you five clues to facts about the game of snooker.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Just give us the most obscure answer.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Let's reveal our five clues to facts about snooker. We have got...
0:32:32 > 0:32:35HE READS
0:32:49 > 0:32:51I'll read those clues one final time.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11Helen and Pam, you go first this time.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14- Ooh-ooh.- This is tough.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18- What are we going to do?- I would go for the first... the top one,
0:33:18 > 0:33:22which is better to be remembered than the lower one.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25The very first one is Pot Black.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Pot Black. Pot Black say Helen and Pam.
0:33:28 > 0:33:33Matthew and Chris, talk us through the rest of the board if you can.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Talk you through the rest of the board?!
0:33:36 > 0:33:38The red balls are in a triangle.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42The Welsh player nicknamed Dracula and world champion - no idea.
0:33:42 > 0:33:47And we think that the venue that began hosting World Championships
0:33:47 > 0:33:50was Sheffield. The Crucible.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52- Did you play it?- No, I've been there, I've seen things there.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Have you played the Crucible, Matthew?
0:33:55 > 0:33:58- I'm doing it now, I'm going to do The History Boys there.- Are you?
0:33:58 > 0:34:02- Yeah, yeah. It's a great theatre. - It's where we first met.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06- Yes, it is.- Helen, have you played the Crucible at all?
0:34:06 > 0:34:10- No, Xander, have you? - No, it's a lovely building, though.
0:34:10 > 0:34:11I played the Crucible in '85.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14I got knocked out in the first round, unfortunately.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16LAUGHTER
0:34:16 > 0:34:18HE RINGS BELL
0:34:18 > 0:34:20APPLAUSE
0:34:20 > 0:34:21Well done!
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Now, then. Matthew and Chris, what are you going to go for?
0:34:26 > 0:34:30We'll go for the name of the venue, the Crucible in Sheffield.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34The Sheffield Crucible. So we have Pot Black and the Crucible.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38Helen and Pam said Pot Black. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- 28. - APPLAUSE
0:34:46 > 0:34:5028. Helen, how are you thinking about 28? How do we feel about that?
0:34:50 > 0:34:54- Happy? Will that keep you in the game?- Touch and go, I would say.
0:34:54 > 0:35:00- I think probably not.- My logic was that the Crucible is still happening so more people might know it.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03OK. Matthew and Chris said the Crucible. Is that right?
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Is it going to beat 28?
0:35:07 > 0:35:10He's right.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12It's going to be close. Ooh!
0:35:12 > 0:35:16Look at that. 30. Very well done, Helen and Pam.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Back in the game. After two questions, it's one all.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23That was close. This is a good head-to-head. Well played.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Let's fill in the rest. The Welsh player, nicknamed Dracula,
0:35:26 > 0:35:28because of his widow's peak.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32I've no idea. (OMINOUSLY) Dracula!
0:35:32 > 0:35:35- Ray Reardon.- Oh, Reardon!
0:35:35 > 0:35:39Would've scored you 26. Triangle is absolutely right.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Scored lower than you'd think - 68 points.
0:35:42 > 0:35:47The 2012 world champion, his fourth world title, was Ronnie O'Sullivan.
0:35:47 > 0:35:4910 points it would've got you.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53This is very exciting. Whoever wins this question goes into the final
0:35:53 > 0:35:56and plays for that jackpot for their charity.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Our third question concerns...
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- ..breeds of pig.- Of course! - LAUGHTER
0:36:01 > 0:36:05- Breeds of pig, Richard.- We'll show you the names of five breeds of pig,
0:36:05 > 0:36:09but left out alternate letters. Fill them in and tell us the breed.
0:36:09 > 0:36:14OK, five breeds of pig with bits missing. Let's reveal them.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16HE READS
0:36:30 > 0:36:34I'll read those again without the blanks.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48Five breeds of pig. Matthew and Chris, you go first.
0:36:52 > 0:36:57Because we're not going to take the risk of guessing two,
0:36:57 > 0:37:01- we're going to go the last but one and say Welsh.- Welsh.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04I'm sure it'll score 98, but still.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07OK, Welsh, say Matthew and Chris. Welsh.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Helen and Pam, talk us through the rest.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13Second one is Gloucester Old Spot.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15- Then Hampshire.- Hampshire.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19- The first one is tough. - British something.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23- Something A, C, K? - Not sure.- Not sure.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- And the last one - you thought maybe Doric?- Doric.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29As in column.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31- THEY LAUGH - Really?- Well,...
0:37:31 > 0:37:36- ..what other letters would go in there?- Could be Derek.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40- Derek the pig?!- Yeah.- Derek Trotter? - LAUGHTER
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Entertainer.
0:37:42 > 0:37:47- APPLAUSE - Derek Trotter.- Excellent!
0:37:47 > 0:37:51- HE RINGS BELL - Right.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- Or do we go for Gloucestershire Old Spot?- Yeah, go on, then.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56- Yeah, let's do that. - What's it going to be?
0:37:56 > 0:37:58- BOTH: - Gloucestershire Old Spots.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02Gloucestershire Old Spots say Helen and Pam. Matthew and Chris say Welsh
0:38:02 > 0:38:06Let's see if it's right and how many of our 100 people said Welsh.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10It's right.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15- 32. - APPLAUSE
0:38:15 > 0:38:1632 for Welsh.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21That was a bit of a guess, wasn't it? I think, or not?
0:38:21 > 0:38:25- I thought it was Welsh. It's not something I knew. - James Herriot would've known that.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29- Exactly!- I am NOT James Herriot. - I keep forgetting!
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Wait a minute. Yes, you are.
0:38:32 > 0:38:37You can't have Christopher Timothy telling you he's not James Herriot.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40That's what James Herriot looks like. Anyway, thank you.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Helen and Pam, you're going for Gloucestershire Old Spots.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46- Do you think you'll beat 32?- No.- No.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Let's find out. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:38:51 > 0:38:54It is right.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Ooh! You've done it! Very well done.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00- APPLAUSE - 14 for Gloucestershire Old Spots. Very well done.
0:39:00 > 0:39:06Helen and Pam, after three questions, you're in the final - two-one. Brilliant head-to-head.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10- Richard?- Yeah, Gloucestershire Old Spots. A large, meaty pig.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Funnily enough, all the answers would've beaten Welsh.
0:39:13 > 0:39:19So if you said Hampshire, you were right and it would've scored 18.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21- Oh.- Wow!- We'd have still lost.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25If you'd said Doric, you'd have been wrong and scored 100 points.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28- Duroc.- Duroc. - Would've scored nine points.
0:39:28 > 0:39:33Now, the top one - you're right about British and some people at home will have worked this out.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37- Do you know that one at all? - It's something-back, is it?
0:39:37 > 0:39:40- British Saddleback.- Saddleback! Course it is.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43That would've scored seven points. It's the best answer up there.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47So at the end of our head-to-head, very exciting round,
0:39:47 > 0:39:53I'm afraid Matthew and Chris, very hard-fought, you very narrowly lost,
0:39:53 > 0:39:57- but you did lose so we have to say goodbye.- It's been a pleasure.
0:39:57 > 0:40:02- Matthew, Chris, thank you so much for playing. Wonderful contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:40:04 > 0:40:08But, for Helen and Pam, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Congratulations, Helen and Pam! You've fought off the competition
0:40:14 > 0:40:17and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot for your charities
0:40:26 > 0:40:29It stands at £2,500.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31APPLAUSE
0:40:31 > 0:40:35Now, Pam, in the head-to-head, you strode to the fore there.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39- With my fine knowledge of pig life. - And pigs, yes.- Yes.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43Thank goodness you didn't go Derek. Have you heard of a Duroc?
0:40:43 > 0:40:47- Never, no.- It sounds exotic. - Doesn't it?- Yes.- Very best of luck.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51Remember you can confer, and this time you can talk at normal volume.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55As always, you have to choose a category to start this round.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Your choices are...
0:40:57 > 0:41:00HE READS OPTIONS
0:41:03 > 0:41:06It's between film directors and islands of the world.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09- I'd go British girl bands, so this is going well(!)- Oh.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11You feel confident? Cos I can't help you on that.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13If you feel confident, I'll go with it.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15You're very good at geography.
0:41:15 > 0:41:20- Not VERY good, it's pure chance. - We should be good at film directors.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22- But are we?- No.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- LAUGHTER - shall we go islands of the world?
0:41:25 > 0:41:27No, listen, if you feel strong on girl bands,
0:41:27 > 0:41:29I'll just sit here and make a cup of tea.
0:41:31 > 0:41:37Um, no, I think, let's go... Islands of the world.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40- SHE GIGGLES NERVOUSLY - OK! OK!
0:41:40 > 0:41:44- OK. You're going to go islands of the world.- OK!- Richard?
0:41:44 > 0:41:48We're going to give you three different options,
0:41:48 > 0:41:52so you can take all three answers from one option, or one from each.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55If you're good on one of them, then concentrate on that.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Let's take a look at the three options you have.
0:41:57 > 0:42:03We're looking for any countries in Oceania, so any country in the continent of Oceania.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07Any islands of the Azores.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Any major island in the Portuguese Azores.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13Or any capitals of any Caribbean islands.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16So any Caribbean islands, we want their capitals.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19By country, we mean sovereign state that is a member of the UN.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22So capitals of Caribbean countries, any islands of the Azores,
0:42:22 > 0:42:25or any countries in Oceania. Very best of luck.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28As always, you've got a minute to come up with three answers.
0:42:28 > 0:42:33Only one answer has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot of £2,500
0:42:33 > 0:42:37The answers you provide can come from any of these three categories.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40They can come from one of them, from all three of them, it's up to you.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42- But they can be from... - HE READS
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Are you ready?
0:42:47 > 0:42:49- Yes!- Yes.- OK. Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53- There they are. Time starts now. - Can we eliminate the Azores?- Yes.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55- You don't know about them?- Nothing.
0:42:55 > 0:43:01- Countries of Oceania - I'm assuming that means the Pacific?- Mm-hm.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03- So I'm going to suggest New Caledonia.- Yes.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07Because it's not a very well-known one. Any others?
0:43:07 > 0:43:10- I've got no idea.- OK.- Um,...
0:43:10 > 0:43:13You've got Tahiti, you've got, um...
0:43:13 > 0:43:17- Shall we go for those two? - Galapagos.- Oh, Galapagos?
0:43:17 > 0:43:21- Shall we try Galapagos?- That's a good one. People won't know that.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23It's an island, not inhabited. OK. New Caledonia, Galapagos.
0:43:23 > 0:43:28Any capitals? What's the capital of St Kitts? That's fairly obscure.
0:43:28 > 0:43:33- Anybody know that?- No, I don't - Don't put your hands up. - THEY LAUGH
0:43:33 > 0:43:37- Um... Anyone... Anywhere... - What's the capital of Jamaica?
0:43:37 > 0:43:41- Kingston? - Or that one that had the earthquake.
0:43:41 > 0:43:45- 10 seconds left.- Port-au-Prince. Port-au-Prince.- Yeah.
0:43:45 > 0:43:48Capital of the country that had the big earthquake.
0:43:48 > 0:43:52- Port-au-Prince. Begins with D. - HELEN GASPS
0:43:52 > 0:43:56- OK, that's your time up. - Well, we've made three answers.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58- Time for your three answers.- OK.
0:43:58 > 0:44:02- What are you going to go for? - We'll go for the Galapagos islands.
0:44:02 > 0:44:06- Which category is that in? - That's countries in Oceania.- OK.
0:44:06 > 0:44:10- And New Caledonia.- New Caledonia in the same category.- Yes.
0:44:10 > 0:44:14- Then, in the bottom category... - Capitals of the Caribbean.
0:44:14 > 0:44:17- We're going for Port-au-Prince. - Port-au-Prince. Very good.
0:44:17 > 0:44:22- Which is your best shot at a pointless answer?- It's not a country, Galapagos, is it?
0:44:22 > 0:44:26I don't... I don't know whether it's a country or not.
0:44:26 > 0:44:28Let's try New Caledonia last.
0:44:28 > 0:44:31New Caledonia last. Which shall we put first?
0:44:31 > 0:44:33- Galapagos.- I think... Yes.
0:44:33 > 0:44:37Galapagos we'll put first. And in the middle, Port-au-Prince.
0:44:37 > 0:44:41Let's put those up in that order. We've got...
0:44:41 > 0:44:43HE READS
0:44:43 > 0:44:49Best of luck. Your first answer was Galapagos. Let's see if it's right.
0:44:49 > 0:44:52If it is and it's pointless, you win today's jackpot.
0:44:52 > 0:44:57Are the Galapagos islands in Oceania? Let's find out.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59NO!
0:45:00 > 0:45:02Well, maybe they are. They may not be a country.
0:45:02 > 0:45:05Your second answer was Port-au-Prince.
0:45:05 > 0:45:10If it's right, you will win the jackpot for your charities. What is your charity, Helen?
0:45:10 > 0:45:13Mine is the Mayhew Animal Home,
0:45:13 > 0:45:17which looks after dogs and cats and strays they take in, in North London
0:45:17 > 0:45:20APPLAUSE
0:45:22 > 0:45:25- Pam, what's your charity? - Similar thing, really.
0:45:25 > 0:45:30I'm going for the Blue Cross, because they, in tough times,
0:45:30 > 0:45:33help people who can't afford vets' fees,
0:45:33 > 0:45:35so the people and the animals gain.
0:45:35 > 0:45:40- APPLAUSE - Very good. Two wonderful charities there. Best of luck.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43Best of luck with your two remaining answers. Port-au-Prince.
0:45:43 > 0:45:47A Caribbean capital. Let's see if that's right
0:45:47 > 0:45:50and if it is, how many people said it.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54It's right. The Galapagos islands was an incorrect answer,
0:45:54 > 0:45:58but Port-au-Prince is taking us down through the 40s, through the 30s,
0:45:58 > 0:46:01into the 20s, into the teens - if this goes down to zero,
0:46:01 > 0:46:03you leave here with 2,500... Oh, no!
0:46:03 > 0:46:06- APPLAUSE - Two. That's a great answer, though.
0:46:06 > 0:46:11Very well done, Pam and Helen. Lovely answer, there.
0:46:11 > 0:46:15Sadly, not a pointless answer. Only one more chance to win the jackpot.
0:46:15 > 0:46:20- I have my doubts about New Caledonia now.- That was your final answer,
0:46:20 > 0:46:22another country in Oceania.
0:46:22 > 0:46:27Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said New Caledonia.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30Oh, no! Bad luck.
0:46:30 > 0:46:33APPLAUSE
0:46:33 > 0:46:35Bad luck, Helen and Pam.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38- Never mind.- Three great answers - one of them brilliant,
0:46:38 > 0:46:42two of them incorrect, unfortunately. Still great answers.
0:46:42 > 0:46:47But you didn't find that all-important pointless answer, so you don't win that jackpot,
0:46:47 > 0:46:52- but as it's a celebrity special, we'll donate £500 to each pair's charities.- Thank you.
0:46:52 > 0:46:54- So that's something, anyway. - APPLAUSE
0:46:54 > 0:46:58We really loved having you on the show.
0:46:58 > 0:47:02- And remember, you do get to take home our Pointless trophy each.- Yes!
0:47:02 > 0:47:05- So well done.- Wonderful. - Very well done, indeed. Richard.
0:47:05 > 0:47:07Valiant effort. Very well played, both of you.
0:47:07 > 0:47:11- New Caledonia is in Oceania, but it's part of France.- Of course.
0:47:11 > 0:47:15- The Galapagos is part of Ecuador. - Of course.- And not in Oceania.
0:47:15 > 0:47:19Funnily enough, you said "What's the capital of St Kitts?"
0:47:19 > 0:47:23- That's Basseterre and that WAS a pointless answer.- Yes! I just...
0:47:23 > 0:47:28Let's take a look at some pointless answers, for the people at home.
0:47:28 > 0:47:33Countries in Oceania - Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Solomon Islands...
0:47:33 > 0:47:36- Tuvalu.- Tuvalu - a big old pointless favourite, Tuvalu.
0:47:36 > 0:47:40Vanuatu, another pointless favourite would have scored a couple of points.
0:47:40 > 0:47:45Let's see the next category. Surely no-one at home has any of these.
0:47:45 > 0:47:48If you have, well done - if you're from the Azores.
0:47:48 > 0:47:51Corvo, Flores, Pico and Sao Miguel.
0:47:51 > 0:47:54All pointless answers. You did well to get rid of that immediately.
0:47:54 > 0:47:59The last category was capitals of Caribbean countries.
