0:00:50 > 0:00:51'Allo, 'Allo.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56- And my gorgeous friend here is... - Flattered to say the least.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59My name is Ian Lavender. I was Pike.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02And I'd like to take this opportunity to point out that
0:01:02 > 0:01:04I never said, "Don't tell him."
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Stupid boy.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Vicky and Ian.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10APPLAUSE
0:01:12 > 0:01:14And couple number two.

0:01:18 > 0:01:22- long way, don't we?- I don't know who he is. I have absolutely no idea.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35I'm an actor and this is my friend Simon who I brought,
0:01:35 > 0:01:37who is also an actor. By coincidence.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40I'm Simon and I was in I'm Alan Partridge.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42I played Michael the Geordie.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47And meet our couple number three, Ewen and Simon G.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50And finally, couple number four.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51Hello, my name is Simon D.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55I am a man and this is my friend Arabella and we met when we
0:01:55 > 0:01:59participated in the popular sketch show of the late '90s
0:01:59 > 0:02:01The Fast Show.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03APPLAUSE
0:02:03 > 0:02:07And these, ladies and gentlemen, are today's contestants.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08CHEERING
0:02:10 > 0:02:13So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14He's a man who's wise beyond his years.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Despite appearances, he's only 14.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Hiya. Hi, everyone.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24CHEERING
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Hi.- Hey.- How are you?- Very exciting. I'm very well, thank you.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29This is good, isn't it?
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- Normally, when we ask people to introduce themselves it's easy.- Yeah.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36These guys seem to make it look very hard work. Did you notice that?
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Each and every one of them are professional.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44It's like a veritable "Who's That?" of British comedy.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Do you know what, I'm so glad you're here, Si.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49But it should be a cracker.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Question One I think you'll all be quite good at.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54You'll have to think a little bit about it
0:02:54 > 0:02:56but it's a perfectly doable question.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00I don't think we will see any 100 points in Round One.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02OK. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04All our questions on Pointless have been put
0:03:04 > 0:03:05to 100 people before the show.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Our contestants need to find the obscure answers
0:03:08 > 0:03:09those 100 people didn't get.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Everyone's trying to find a Pointless answer.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13This is an answer that none of our 100 people gave
0:03:13 > 0:03:16and each time that happens we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18As today's show is a celebrity special
0:03:18 > 0:03:21and each of our lovely celebrities is playing for a nominated
0:03:21 > 0:03:23charity, we start out with a jackpot of...
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- CHEERING - Yep.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40OK, in this first round I'm going to take an answer from each of you
0:03:40 > 0:03:41but there is to be no conferring.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will be
0:03:44 > 0:03:47eliminated, so do everything you can to make sure that's not you.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Our first category today is...
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Geography. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:03:54 > 0:03:56who's going to go second?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Countries that do not contain the letter "E", Richard?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Yeah, we're looking for any country in the world that in its usual
0:04:17 > 0:04:19English name does not have the letter "E".
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Please, we won't accept abbreviations like USA. That's cheating.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Just any country of the world that does not contain the letter "E".
0:04:26 > 0:04:28As always, by country we mean a sovereign state that is
0:04:28 > 0:04:30a member of the UN in its own right.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Very, very best of luck to all teams.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Ian and Vicki, you all drew lots before the show
0:04:34 > 0:04:37and today you are going to go first.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40So, Ian...
0:04:40 > 0:04:46- Whose idea was it to come on this?- Not mine. Not mine.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51- It was some Latvian. I'll go for Latvia.- Oh, going to go for Latvia.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Latvia, says Ian.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Let's see if that's right
0:04:54 > 0:04:56and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Latvia.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Perfectly good answer, Ian.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Look at that, it's a lovely low score. 9. Brilliant, single figures.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Excellent.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18That's a very good start, Ian. Latvia, spell it out, no "E" in it.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Do it at home, write it down. No "E".
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Be a terrible answer in "Countries Without A "V" In Them"
0:05:23 > 0:05:25but in this round it's terrific.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Cracking answer. Phil, welcome to Pointless Celebrities.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Phil, what's going to be good for you?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34What are the areas you are hoping are going to come up?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Well, anything of a sporting nature.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I'm into all sorts of team sports and stuff.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- You're a very keen runner, aren't you, Phil?- I am, actually.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48I'm a bit of an obsessed runner, really. I have to go out every day.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50I mean, it's just something I enjoy doing.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Lovely.- No, it is.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54It is. It is.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Phil, we're looking for any country without an "E" in its name.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Right, doesn't contain... I'm going to say Chad.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Chad, says Phil. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Chad.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10It's right.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14It's another nice, low score.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Look at that. Very well done, Phil.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20That's a Pointless answer.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23It adds 250 quid to today's jackpot. Takes the total up to...
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- And it scores you nothing. Very well done, Phil.- Thank you, mate.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Great start. - That's a terrific answer.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33A very good start to your Pointless career.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35ARABELLA LAUGHS Gained independence from France in...
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Not a pointless career in that way, Arabella.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44- Thanks very much indeed. Now, Ewen. - Hi.- Ewen, welcome to the show.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47What are going to be your strong categories on this?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Probably sort of film. That sort of thing.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Maybe a little bit of sport, football.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Not geography.- Not geography at all? - No.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- You've got to have a good country without an "E" in it, surely?- Um...
0:07:01 > 0:07:03I'll try Hungary.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08Hungary. Hungary. OK, let's see if that's right. I'm guessing it is.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Let's see how many of our 100 people said Hungary.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13It is right.
0:07:19 > 0:07:2011.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Not a bad score at all, Ewen.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- 11 for Hungary.- Well played, Ewen.
0:07:27 > 0:07:301946, Hungary issued the biggest ever bank note.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33It was 100 quintillion pengo.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Seriously?- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40OK. Now then, Arabella...
0:07:40 > 0:07:42You're going to be good at geography,
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- you spent a lot of your life living abroad, haven't you?- Yep.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- So, Arabella, a nice country with no "E" in it.- Sri Lanka.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Sri Lanka, says Arabella. Let's see if that's right.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Let's see how many of our 100 people said Sri Lanka.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57It's right.
0:08:03 > 0:08:065 for Sri Lanka.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Our second lowest score so far, Arabella. Very well done.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Well played, Arabella. The world's largest exporter of tea.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16OK, well, we're halfway through the round.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Let's take a look at the scores as they stand. 0 the best score there.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Very well done.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Phil and Meera looking pretty strong on the back of that.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27On to Arabella and Simon on 5. Up to 9, where we find Ian and Vicki.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31And then up to 11, where we find Ewen and Simon G.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34So you're a little bit ahead, Simon.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37We need a nice low score from you in the next pass to make sure
0:08:37 > 0:08:39you get through to Round Two. Best of luck with that.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48OK, remember we are looking for countries that do not contain
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- the letter "E" in their name. Simon?- Yes?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Simon, welcome to Pointless Celebrities.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Great to have you here. What are you up to at the moment?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59At the moment I'm in the West End in a play.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- What play are you in? - The Ladykillers.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- It's a fabulous play, that. - It's brilliant.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- Graham Linehan's adaptation of it. - It's very funny.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- OK, well you want to score 5 or less to avoid becoming the new high scorers.- OK.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Paraguay.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Paraguay, says Simon D.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Here's your red line.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25If you get below that red line you are definitely through
0:09:25 > 0:09:26to the next round. Paraguay.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31It's right.
0:09:37 > 0:09:419. That's OK. 9 takes your total up to 14.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44I reckon that's probably enough to see you through. Richard.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47I have to say, everyone's scoring brilliantly in this round.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49It's going very, very well, isn't it?
0:09:49 > 0:09:5214 being the target score is very, very low.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Very low, indeed. Now, Simon...
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- Simon.- So good they named me twice.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01LAUGHTER
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- You've come as a Bishop tonight, Simon.- I have indeed.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05God bless you for that.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07If you want to kneel, I'll take your confession.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11No, I'm fine, I'll keep on my feet. Thank you, Simon.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Now then, the high scorers at the moment, Simon and Arabella on 14.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18That means if you can score 2 or less,
0:10:18 > 0:10:21you'll avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22OK, I'm going to...
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I had something in mind, but after Simon's answer,
0:10:25 > 0:10:29I've changed my mind and I'm going to go Uruguay.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31OK, Uruguay, says Simon G.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Here is your red line, it's a bit lower than Simon D's was.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37There we are, if you get below that,
0:10:37 > 0:10:39you'll avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41How many of our 100 people said Uruguay?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- AUDIENCE:- Oooh...
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Eight.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53APPLAUSE
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Eight takes your total up to 19.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Well played, Simon. No Es, got three Us in it.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02It's interesting, all the parents at home know Simon
0:11:02 > 0:11:05from being Geordie Michael on I'm Alan Partridge.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07What none of the kids at home realise is he's the man
0:11:07 > 0:11:10who made 100 quintillion pengo out of being
0:11:10 > 0:11:12the voice of a very popular meerkat.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13Of course, yes.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15I thought you were talking about The Octonauts,
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- which is another thing parents know Simon for.- Yes.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Michael's out.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Yes, yes, keep him in for now. Er...
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- LAUGHTER - It's my catch phrase.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- Which is?- Barnacle's out.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- LAUGHTER - My kids love that.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29Yes, yes.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Meera. Welcome to Pointless Celebrities, Meera.- Thank you.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34What are you up to at the moment, Meera?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Um, I'm... Well,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39WE are about to start shooting another series of The Kumars.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- Which is very exciting.- Yes. - You do lots of writing as well.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44Are you writing things at the moment?
0:11:44 > 0:11:49Yes, I'm halfway through my third novel.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50I know, it sounds grander than it is.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53There's nothing more terrifying than the blank page. But...
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- Halfway through is good though.- Yes, yes.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- It's only ten words long, but I'm doing really well.- Well, OK.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- There's lots of pictures. - ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Now then, the high scorers are Simon and Ewen on 19.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09If you can score 18 or less, through you go to Round Two.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11We're looking for any country without an "E" in it.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15I'm going to take a punt on... I hope this is a country,
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Burkina Faso.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Burkina Faso. Let's see if that's right
0:12:19 > 0:12:21and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24There is your red line. If you get below that,
0:12:24 > 0:12:26you're through to Round Two.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29It's right.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Oh, I think it's a good one, Meera.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Very well done, you're through.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38And it's pointless, double pointless from the second podium!
0:12:38 > 0:12:39APPLAUSE
0:12:39 > 0:12:42That also adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:12:42 > 0:12:45takes the total up to £3,000.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47It scores you nothing and it leaves your total at nothing.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Very well done indeed. What a fantastic Pointless debut.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Brilliant, you literally can't do better than that.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Zero points after two answers. That's a terrific answer. Burkina Faso.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01The Mossi tribe in Burkina Faso wear antelope masks seven foot high.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04They wear them on two occasions, they wear them for funerals
0:13:04 > 0:13:06and they wear them to guard fruit.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Those are the two occasions they wear them.- Brilliant.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11GENTLE LAUGHTER
0:13:11 > 0:13:12- Vicki.- Yes?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Best till last.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Welcome to Pointless Celebrities.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Thank you.- Now, how are we feeling about geography?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Is that a strong suit for you? - No, I hate it.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- Really?- Geography's not one of my strong points.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26What are the categories you were hoping might come up today?
0:13:26 > 0:13:31- Probably film and comedies.- Yes. - Musicals.- Yes.- Maybe...
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- Those sort of things.- Geography. - And...
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Letters, I like Scrabble. So, you know, words.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- When you... Words...- Words, yes.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40- I like a good word round. - Yes, words.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Good, OK, now then, you're on 9.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45The high scorers on 19 are still
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Simon and Ewen. If you can score nine or less,
0:13:48 > 0:13:50you are through to the next round.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53We're looking for countries whose names don't contain an "E".
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Zambia.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Zambia, says Vicki. OK, here comes your red line.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Get below that, you are in Round Two.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Let's see how many people said Zambia.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07It's right.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08- AUDIENCE:- Ooooh....
0:14:10 > 0:14:11You've done it!
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Look at that. Four for Zambia.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17Very, very well done indeed. 13, your total.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Brilliant, Vicki.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Very well played. Well played, all four teams.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26For 19 to be the biggest score is quite some going.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28It's weird, I was recently in Mozambique and you're always
0:14:28 > 0:14:31looking through to see if there's any English telly wherever you go.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33They only had one channel and all it showed,
0:14:33 > 0:14:35they would have an episode of Come Dine With Me,
0:14:35 > 0:14:37then an episode of 'Allo 'Allo!
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Then they'd just keep, repeat, repeat, repeat.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I've seen a lot of you in the last few months.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- Well, you've got very good taste, darling.- Well...
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Literally it was all that was on.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- LAUGHTER - OK.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- Did you laugh?- Of course I laughed. - That's all right.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52I love Come Dine With Me. LAUGHTER
0:14:52 > 0:14:56- You're very tricky, Dicky. - I did laugh. I'm...genuinely a fan.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- I'm not going to say anything... - Thank you.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03There's quite a few up here.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08We already had Chad from Phil, which was a terrific answer...
0:15:15 > 0:15:20You could also have had Burundi, Dominica, Honduras, Kiribas,
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Marshall Islands, Tanzania, Togo and Tuvalu.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Well done if you said any of those.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Let's take a look at the most popular answers, the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30These are the ones to avoid in this show...
0:15:34 > 0:15:36..and right at the top...
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Spain would have been right at the top of the shop, 74 points.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Thanks very much indeed. So, at the end of our first round,
0:15:43 > 0:15:47the pair heading home with a frankly very low score
0:15:47 > 0:15:49but nonetheless it's the highest score, 19, it's Simon and Ewen.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Who goes out on 19?!
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Well, you do, actually! As it happens.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57But two perfectly good answers. Uruguay...
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- What might you have gone for if you hadn't gone for Uruguay?- Cyprus.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Cyprus would have scored you seven points.- There you are.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Simon, Ewen, it's been lovely having you on the show, albeit briefly.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Thanks very much for playing. Simon and Ewen!
0:16:10 > 0:16:12APPLAUSE
0:16:12 > 0:16:16But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22So, only three pairs remain.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Now, it's just one more round before you're allowed to confer.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Meera and Phil, fantastic performance from you there.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Lovely double pointless.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32And then only one point between the other two pairs.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35So it's going to be very, very close indeed.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:16:44 > 0:16:48And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- What does it mean, "bad movies"? - And the question concerns...
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Films that have won Golden Raspberry Awards. Richard?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Each year the Golden Raspberry Awards are held, they're like the anti-Oscars,
0:17:01 > 0:17:05so they celebrate the worst films that have been made in the previous 12 months.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07On each pass now, we're going to give you six clues
0:17:07 > 0:17:10to films which have won Golden Raspberry Awards.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15You need to tell us the name of one of these films, please. There will be 12 in all to have a go at at home.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18OK. Thanks very much. So we're looking for the Razzie Award-winning films
0:17:18 > 0:17:21described by each of these clues. Here is our first board of six...
0:17:50 > 0:17:52LAUGHTER
0:17:52 > 0:17:55OK, I'll read through those one last time...
0:18:24 > 0:18:30There we are. Now, Ian. What do you make of that board, Ian?
0:18:30 > 0:18:34Not much, to be quite honest. Erm...
0:18:34 > 0:18:36That's going to score so many.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Em, Godfather Part III?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43For the third film of Coppola's gangster saga?
0:18:43 > 0:18:46OK, Godfather Part III, says Ian. Let's see if that's right,
0:18:46 > 0:18:49let's see how many people said Godfather Part III.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52It's right.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- VICKI:- Wow! Yes!
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- 31. - APPLAUSE
0:18:58 > 0:19:0031, not bad.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Yeah, Sofia Coppola won that worst supporting actress award.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09She went on to direct Lost in Translation, though, so she's done OK.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- She has.- She's put it behind her. - She has. Meera?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14This is really tough.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Meera, can you keep up your fantastic record from Round One?
0:19:17 > 0:19:21No, definitely not. I know one of the films on there for definite,
0:19:21 > 0:19:25but I suspect it's going to be the highest scoring one.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28SHE SIGHS
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Is it better to say a right answer that's high
0:19:31 > 0:19:34than an answer that's completely wrong?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37OK, I'll go for the Sharon Stone one then.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41I think that could be Basic Instinct 2.
0:19:41 > 0:19:47Basic Instinct 2, says Meera. Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Basic Instinct 2.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49It's right!
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Well, 31's our only score so far... and you pass that.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- 21. - APPLAUSE
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Well done, Meera. That one - worst picture, worst actress,
0:20:02 > 0:20:04worst sequel or prequel and worst screenplay.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- LAUGHTER - Sorry I missed it, really!
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Yeah, it's a treat!
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Simon, you're the last person to have this board.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- Do you want to talk us through it - fill in all those blanks?- Yeah,
0:20:14 > 0:20:16there's the two massive ones that everyone knows.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19And I should know the Bond film but I don't.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24I'm going to have to say the Spice Girls film -
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Spice Girls: The Movie.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Spice Girls: The Movie. Well, let's find out.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Spice Girls: The Movie, is it right?
0:20:31 > 0:20:32How many people said that?
0:20:35 > 0:20:36No, Simon!
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Should have said Mamma Mia.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41You're going to kick yourself when you hear what it's called
0:20:41 > 0:20:44but that is incorrect, I'm afraid. Scores you the maximum of 100.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- I'm sorry.- Never mind.- Yeah.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Sorry, Simon. In some ways, it reflects very well on you
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- that you don't know the title of it. - It's a cruel game.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52Arabella, do you know the title of it?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54I thought it was called Spice Girls: The Movie.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- Oh, that's all right, then. - It's called Spice World.- Oh, yes!
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- Of course it was.- Spice World.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01That was nominated for worst picture, worst screenplay,
0:21:01 > 0:21:04worst screen couple, worst supporting actor,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06worst original song and worst new star.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- It was nominated for all of those. - Impressive.
0:21:08 > 0:21:1028 points it scored you.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Now, if you had said Mamma Mia for Pierce Brosnan,
0:21:13 > 0:21:15it would have scored you 73 points.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16So better than 100
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- but still a punishingly high score - 73.- Yeah, still out.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22If you had to have guessed a Bond film, what would you have gone for?
0:21:22 > 0:21:23I would have said...
0:21:23 > 0:21:25GoldenEye.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Die Another Day, it was. And that would have scored 11.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31And the William Shatner film, that is
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37And that would have scored 1 so that's the best answer there.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- Well done if you said that at home. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42We're halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores.
0:21:42 > 0:21:4521 the best score, Meera and Phil looking pretty good on the back of that.
0:21:45 > 0:21:4731 - Ian and Vicki.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51And then up to 100, I'm afraid, Simon and Arabella.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54So, Arabella, it's going to require a very low-scoring answer from you.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56So very best of luck with that.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Let's hope that might be enough to keep you in the game.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00We're going to come back down the line, now.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:04 > 0:22:07OK. Let's put six more clues on the board. And here they come.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08We have got...
0:22:37 > 0:22:40I'll read those all very quickly, one last time.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06So remember, we're looking for the Razzie Award-winning films
0:23:06 > 0:23:07described by each of these clues.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10And, Arabella, we really need a very, very low score from you,
0:23:10 > 0:23:14if you're going to stay with us after the end of this round.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18I think the one... The ONE I know of Raspberries
0:23:18 > 0:23:19isn't up there.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21And it was a Sandra Bullock film
0:23:21 > 0:23:24and she was very gracious accepting the award.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26But I'm going to go for Psycho.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- The remake of the Hitchcock classic? - Yeah.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32OK. Psycho, says Arabella. Psycho.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34No red line for you as you're the high scorers,
0:23:34 > 0:23:36but let's see how many of our 100 said Psycho.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40It's right.
0:23:43 > 0:23:4521.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- Well done.- Not great.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH
0:23:49 > 0:23:5021 for Psycho.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Yeah, it's a pretty much exact shot-for-shot remake of Psycho
0:23:53 > 0:23:56for reasons I've never quite fully understood.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- There you go. Now then, Phil. - Hello there.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Phil, you're the low scorers
0:24:00 > 0:24:02at half-time in this round.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04There you are on 21.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05The highest scorers on 121.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07If you can score 99 or less,
0:24:07 > 0:24:08you are in the head-to-head.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11We're looking for the Razzie Award-winning films
0:24:11 > 0:24:12described by these clues.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Now, the one that I really...
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Yeah, OK, played a bartender. It's got to be...
0:24:18 > 0:24:19I'll go for that one.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Tom Cruise played a bartender in...
0:24:22 > 0:24:24You're waiting for the answer, aren't you?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Top Gun.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- No! I've blown it.- Go on, that's his answer.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29No, that's not right.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- I have to accept your first answer! - Yes.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Oh, do you?! I have...
0:24:34 > 0:24:38- It's a tough old game, mate. - Top Gun? Is it right?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40There's your red line.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44- I've had it.- You've had it. - It ain't Top Gun cos that was '86.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45No!
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- That was... What am I doing?- Yeah.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Also, in Top Gun - the clue is he plays a Top Gun pilot
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- which is a...- No, hold on!
0:24:52 > 0:24:54That's an incorrect answer.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56It scores you the maximum of 100 points,
0:24:56 > 0:24:57takes your total up to 121,
0:24:57 > 0:24:59where you are joint high scorers with Arabella and Simon.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02So did you think Top Gun maybe was the name of the bar? Was that...?
0:25:02 > 0:25:04I was just thinking of Cruise...
0:25:04 > 0:25:06He goes to bars called Top Gun all the time.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09No, it was the wrong answer. What can I say?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Yes, it's a wrong answer, I'll give you that.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13If we held our own Golden Raspberries every year,
0:25:13 > 0:25:15you'd be nominated for that.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Oh!- And you got a pointless answer in the first round.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- Phil, we've both done it. - A man of extremes.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- Just illustrates, doesn't it? - Now, Vicki.- Yes.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Vicki, you're on 31.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28If you can score 89 or less,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- you are through to the head-to-head. - Fabulous!
0:25:31 > 0:25:32So what are you going to go for, Vicki?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Well, I think I'm going to go for Tom Cruise
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- in Cocktail.- Cocktail.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38I thought it was a great film.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40- Ah...- It's one of my wife's favourite films.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- It's a fabulous film. - OK, so let's find out.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Tom Cruise - Cocktail, is that right?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Very well done!
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Oh, 62 but who cares?!
0:25:52 > 0:25:56That takes your total up to 93. Ian and Vicki, well done.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- You're in the head-to-head. - Cocktail, of course, was the name
0:25:59 > 0:26:00of the fighter jet he flew in...
0:26:00 > 0:26:03LAUGHTER
0:26:03 > 0:26:05LAUGHTER DROWNS SPEECH
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Well, listen, this is very exciting indeed. We have a tie.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Arabella and Simon, and Phil and Meera are tied on 121.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14So what we're going to do is get each of the two pairs
0:26:14 > 0:26:16to give me one more answer
0:26:16 > 0:26:20and the pair with the highest score will be eliminated.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23So, yes, Phil and Meera, you can confer and give us an answer.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25There's one that I think I might know
0:26:25 > 0:26:27and it's the more obscure answer
0:26:27 > 0:26:28but I might be wrong.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- And there's one I definitely know. - (The Mariah Carey?)
0:26:31 > 0:26:32- Yeah.- (Which would be the one...?)
0:26:32 > 0:26:34The Robert Redford, Demi Moore -
0:26:34 > 0:26:36I think that's Indecent Proposal.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37Indecent Proposal.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Arabella and Simon, what are you going to go for?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- Well, we're in trouble here. - We wanted to go for the same one.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Arabella thinks the top one's The Klumps. I don't think it is.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49And we're going to end up saying that, probably.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50It's the only chance we've got.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53OK, so we've got Indecent Proposal and The Klumps.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Let's take them in that order.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56Meera and Phil said Indecent Proposal.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Let's see if that's right and how many people said that.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02It's right.
0:27:05 > 0:27:0837.
0:27:08 > 0:27:1137 takes your total up to 158.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13So that is the new high score.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Arabella and Simon, you want to be scoring 36 or less.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19OK, here's your red line, Arabella and Simon.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Get below that, you're through to the head-to-head. Let's see.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25The Klumps, is that right? How many people said it, if it is?
0:27:28 > 0:27:32- Oh, no! It's not The Klumps.- Oh! - Oh, bad luck, Arabella and Simon.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34I'm afraid that scores you the maximum of 100 points,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37takes your total up to an unbeatable 221.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Phil and Meera, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Yeah, sorry, not The Klumps.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43It's another of those films where he played lots of characters
0:27:43 > 0:27:46which is why he was nominated for all those things.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- It was Norbit.- Norbit, that's it!- Oh!
0:27:48 > 0:27:51He was also nominated for worst screen couple with himself,
0:27:51 > 0:27:54twice, in that film.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56So that is some going. And if you had said Norbit,
0:27:56 > 0:27:58it would have been a pointless answer.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00It would have been a terrific answer to give.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04Now, the Mariah Carey film, anybody else know the...? Meera?
0:28:04 > 0:28:05- Is it Glitter?- Glitter.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08It would have scored 7 points, as well. Would have seen you through.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11And Halle Berry won Worst Actress and collected her award in person
0:28:11 > 0:28:13for Catwoman.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- Oh!- And Catwoman would have scored you 19.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17So Norbit - the best answer up there.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- Very well done if you said that at home.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22So at the end of our second round,
0:28:22 > 0:28:24I'm afraid it's Arabella and Simon who have to leave us
0:28:24 > 0:28:27with their high score of 221. I'm so sorry.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29- But you played so well...- Yeah.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31..and then so poorly in this last round.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34But it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Thanks very much indeed, Arabella and Simon.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38APPLAUSE
0:28:38 > 0:28:41But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20OK, here comes your first question. And it concerns...
0:29:23 > 0:29:24Hound dogs. Richard.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26We're going to see some pictures of dogs, now.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28We like it when we see pictures of dogs.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30We're going to show five pictures of dogs,
0:29:30 > 0:29:32all of which are in the hound category
0:29:32 > 0:29:33of the UK Kennel Club.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35You need to tell us the specific breed
0:29:35 > 0:29:36you're about to see, please.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Can you pick the most obscure of these five?
0:29:39 > 0:29:42OK. Thanks, Richard. Let's reveal our five hound dogs.
0:29:42 > 0:29:43Here they are. We have got...
0:29:45 > 0:29:46- Aw!- Aw!
0:29:50 > 0:29:51- Mm...- Meh...
0:29:53 > 0:29:54AUDIENCE: Aw!
0:29:54 > 0:29:56- Yeah...- Yeah?- Yeah. Bit scary.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01- Aw!- Aw!
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Aw!
0:30:09 > 0:30:12There we are - five dogs.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Vicki and Ian, you've played best throughout the show so far,
0:30:16 > 0:30:18so you go first.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20VICKI AND IAN WHISPER
0:30:24 > 0:30:25- Yeah.- Go on. Guess.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29Um...D. An Irish wolfhound.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32D, Irish wolfhound, say Vicki and Ian.
0:30:32 > 0:30:33D, Irish wolfhound.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Now, Meera and Phil, talk us through the rest of the board.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39We think A is either a basset hound or a bloodhound,
0:30:39 > 0:30:41but I'm not sure which.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43- Yeah.- Not sure what B is, do you know?
0:30:43 > 0:30:47- No, I don't.- Is it a chow?
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Isn't E a beagle?
0:30:49 > 0:30:52It is a beagle, yeah. I think that is a beagle.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53Yes, that is.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56I think we'll go for...beagle, E.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58OK. E, beagle, say Meera and Phil.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00We have Irish wolfhound and we have beagle.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Vicki and Ian said Irish wolfhound -
0:31:02 > 0:31:04let's see if that's right and how many said it.
0:31:06 > 0:31:07It is right.
0:31:12 > 0:31:1330.
0:31:15 > 0:31:1730 for Irish wolfhound.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Now, you think beagle isn't going to beat that?
0:31:20 > 0:31:23I'm not even sure beagle's right, so...
0:31:23 > 0:31:25OK. You are saying beagle for E.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many said it.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33It is a beagle. You just want it to go lower than 30...
0:31:33 > 0:31:35- Oh!- 52 for beagle.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Very well done. Vicki and Ian, after one question,
0:31:40 > 0:31:42you are up 1-0.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Well played, Vicki and Ian. Meera and Phil,
0:31:44 > 0:31:47you probably would've gone for Irish wolfhound if you were going first.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Now, A - what do you think you would've gone for
0:31:50 > 0:31:53if you were forced between basset hound and bloodhound?
0:31:53 > 0:31:57- Well...bloodhound.- Meera? - Yeah, I think bloodhound.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59- Or basset.- Is it a basset?
0:31:59 > 0:32:00It is a basset hound, yeah.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02It would've scored you 33 points,
0:32:02 > 0:32:04so still wouldn't have won you the point.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Now, B is a Finnish spitz
0:32:06 > 0:32:08and it's 1 point.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10So very well done if you got that at home.
0:32:10 > 0:32:11That's a terrific answer.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16And C is the saluki. Saluki.
0:32:16 > 0:32:17That would have scored you 8.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Thanks very much, Richard. OK, here comes your second question.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Meera and Phil, you have to win this,
0:32:22 > 0:32:23but you get to answer first.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Best of luck. It concerns...
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Rather than have me read out the questions for Fawlty Towers,
0:32:30 > 0:32:32we have someone far better qualified,
0:32:32 > 0:32:34a great friend of the show's -
0:32:34 > 0:32:36the wonderful Mr John Cleese.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38APPLAUSE
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Hello, Xander and Richard.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43I'm so sorry I can't be there in person.
0:32:43 > 0:32:48But I do have five questions for the players about Fawlty Towers.
0:32:48 > 0:32:49The first question is...
0:32:49 > 0:32:54In what year was the show first transmitted?
0:32:54 > 0:32:56The second question is...
0:32:56 > 0:33:01What city does the waiter Manuel hail from?
0:33:01 > 0:33:02The third question -
0:33:02 > 0:33:07what was the name of the real Basil Fawlty?
0:33:07 > 0:33:11Next, what is the military rank of the hotel resident
0:33:11 > 0:33:13played by Ballard Berkeley?
0:33:13 > 0:33:18And finally, what is the name of the seaside town
0:33:18 > 0:33:20where the show is set?
0:33:22 > 0:33:23Good luck.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30So, there we are - five questions. I will reread them for you...
0:33:45 > 0:33:48There we are, five facts about Fawlty Towers.
0:33:48 > 0:33:49Meera and Phil...
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- Yeah, OK.- I think I've got three of them and you're dead sure...
0:33:53 > 0:33:56I know four out of the five there.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Definitely. 100%.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01- 100%?- 100%, four out of the five I know.
0:34:01 > 0:34:06- It's a question of which one is the most...- Obscure.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09I think the very top one might be the least...
0:34:09 > 0:34:11If you're absolutely sure.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13I am, I know when it was first broadcast.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15I know when Series One was broadcast.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18I'm going to go for 1975,
0:34:18 > 0:34:20the year the show was first broadcast.
0:34:20 > 0:34:231975, the year the show was first broadcast.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27- Vicki and Ian.- Right... - The board is all yours.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31- Can't challenge on the first date. - No...
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Manuel, we think, comes from Barcelona.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Don't know who the real Fawlty was.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Colonel, played by Bal.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40And Torquay...um...
0:34:42 > 0:34:43- Torquay?- Torquay.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- Do you think that's right?- Torquay.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49You're going to go for Torquay, the town it was set in.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Meera and Phil have said 1975.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55Let's see if that was right. Let's see how many said 1975.
0:34:58 > 0:34:59It was right.
0:35:04 > 0:35:0518.
0:35:06 > 0:35:1018 for 1975. Very well done indeed, that's a good score.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Now then, Vicki and Ian have gone for Torquay,
0:35:13 > 0:35:15the seaside town in which the show is set.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many said Torquay.
0:35:20 > 0:35:21It's right.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Ooh, look at that - 65 for Torquay.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Well, two good answers, but yours, Phil, well done -
0:35:30 > 0:35:33a cracking answer there, you've done what you needed to do.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35You're back in the game after two questions, it's 1-1.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Yeah, good pointless knowledge there, Phil.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Let's take a look at the rest.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42I think everyone knew that Manuel is from Barcelona -
0:35:42 > 0:35:43would have scored 71.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47The military rank of Ballard Berkeley is Major, of course.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Would've scored 45 - so a better answer than Torquay,
0:35:49 > 0:35:51still wouldn't have won the point.
0:35:51 > 0:35:52The real Basil Fawlty
0:35:52 > 0:35:55was the proprietor of the Gleneagles Hotel
0:35:55 > 0:35:57that John Cleese stayed in in 1970
0:35:57 > 0:36:00and his name was Donald Sinclair,
0:36:00 > 0:36:04and would have scored you 3 points, so well done if you said that.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08Thanks very much indeed. This is exciting, it's down to a decider.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11Question number three. Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:36:11 > 0:36:13and plays for the jackpot. It concerns...
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Victorian novels, Richard.
0:36:19 > 0:36:24We're going to show you the names of five Victorian novels, but we've missed out a word from each title.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Fill in the word and give us the most obscure.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Best of luck to both teams.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33Let's reveal our five Victorian novels, and here they are.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03This time, Vicki and Ian, you go first again.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Don't know the Native, don't know the Native.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07No, don't know the Native.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Bottom one, I think quite a lot of people will know that.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12The Tenant or Mill On The Floss.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15OK, um...
0:37:15 > 0:37:17The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall, say Vicki and Ian.
0:37:20 > 0:37:21The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25Meera and Phil, can you talk us through the rest of the board?
0:37:25 > 0:37:29I think I know the rest of the board except I think
0:37:29 > 0:37:32that's the most obscure answer, unfortunately.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35The Mill On The Floss, The Old Curiosity Shop,
0:37:35 > 0:37:36The Return Of The Native
0:37:36 > 0:37:39and I think The Woman In White.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41I thought that when I saw it.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Yeah, I think...
0:37:43 > 0:37:45I think probably The Return Of The Native
0:37:45 > 0:37:49- will be the next lowest answer. - I would say...- We'll go for that.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52OK, you're going for The Return Of The Native.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56We have The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall and The Return Of The Native.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Vicki and Ian went for The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Let's see how many people said it.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04It is right.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Oh, it's a good answer. 19.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11APPLAUSE
0:38:13 > 0:38:1619 for The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Meera and Phil, you've gone for The Return Of The Native.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26It is right.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Is it going to beat 19, though?
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Yes, it is, look at that! Oh, 12, very well done indeed.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36The Return Of The Native wins it for you.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Very well done, Meera and Phil.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42After three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1, well played.
0:38:42 > 0:38:48Yeah, that's the way to get to the final. They're the best two answers on the board. Terrific.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50Meera's already filled in the rest for us.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53The Mill On The Floss would have scored you 55.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56The Old Curiosity Shop would have scored you 86.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59And The Woman In White, Wilkie Collins.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03That would have scored 29. Well done if you got all five at home.
0:39:03 > 0:39:04Thanks very much indeed.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08So our losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid
0:39:08 > 0:39:11it's Vicki and Ian, but that was so close.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14That was a brilliant head-to-head. Very well done indeed.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16It's been lovely having you on the show.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Thank you so much for playing, Ian and Vicki.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21APPLAUSE
0:39:23 > 0:39:26But for Meera and Phil it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34Congratulations, Meera and Phil, you fought off all the competition
0:39:34 > 0:39:36and won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45You now have the chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £3,000.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51AUDIENCE: Whoo!
0:39:51 > 0:39:53You finished as you started.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56A fantastic first round for you, double pointless.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58They're very rare in any Pointless round.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01But particularly in a Celebrities Pointless round.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04- Cos we're quite thick, you mean? - Well, you're not.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Generally they're quite vacuous.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08They're much harder questions on the celebrity shows.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Oh, right(!)
0:40:10 > 0:40:12He's such a charmer, isn't he?
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Best of luck with this final round.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17You need to choose a category before we go anywhere.
0:40:17 > 0:40:18Your choices are...
0:40:25 > 0:40:27'70s Britain's quite good, how are you on that?
0:40:27 > 0:40:29You don't look old enough. Do you remember it?
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Yeah, vaguely. Yeah, course I remember it.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35- Do you remember the '70s? - I had flares, man, I had flares.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37I had flares too. Rupert Bear trousers.
0:40:37 > 0:40:38Prince of Wales check.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41"Blue stripe or red stripe, sir?" "Oh!"
0:40:41 > 0:40:45- And this is one you think you're brilliant at?- Well, I mean,
0:40:45 > 0:40:48You're probably brilliant at tennis, but I won't be.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50No, that's not going to help, so I think...
0:40:50 > 0:40:53- One we're both happy with. - I think, yeah.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56- You're going for 1970s Britain? - Yeah.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58OK, 1970s Britain it is, Richard.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02OK, you'll have 60 seconds to come up with three answers.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04I'll give you three options of category,
0:41:04 > 0:41:07so you can choose your answers from any category you like.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Can you name us any of the following?
0:41:22 > 0:41:24So, between 1970 and 1979.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Any Chancellors of the Exchequer?
0:41:26 > 0:41:30Any regular members of Are You Being Served? - in 25 episodes or more?
0:41:30 > 0:41:34And acts who had a Christmas number one single between Christmas 1970
0:41:34 > 0:41:36and Christmas 1979?
0:41:37 > 0:41:40OK, as always, you have a minute to come up with three answers.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43All you need to win that £3,000 for your charities
0:41:43 > 0:41:45is for one of those answers to be pointless.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48The answers you provide can come from any of these categories.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51All three from one, or two from one and one from another.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54But as long as they're from Chancellors during the '70s,
0:41:54 > 0:41:57regular cast members of Are You Being Served?
0:41:57 > 0:42:00or acts with Christmas number ones in the 1970s.
0:42:00 > 0:42:01Oh, Christmas, I didn't see that.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05Ready? Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08There they are, your time starts now.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- Do you know any Chancellors of the Exchequer?- I do, yes.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15Um, Denis Howe... No, no, no.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19- Denis Healey.- Everyone will know Denis Healey.- They will, won't they?
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Francis Maude. No, um...
0:42:21 > 0:42:23- Members of Are You Being Served? - Yes, I do.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- Mrs Slocombe, everyone knows. - Everyone knows that.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28- Mr Grace?- Frank Thornton.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Yeah, Frank... Mr Peacock.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- Yeah, Mr Peacock.- That might be quite a good one.
0:42:33 > 0:42:34That's a good one, yeah.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Mr Grace, Mr Peacock. Everyone knows Mrs Slocombe.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40We need the actors' names for Are You Being Served?, guys.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42- Oh, the actors' names.- Yeah.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44- Who did you say?- Frank Thornton.
0:42:44 > 0:42:45That's a really good one.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48OK, Christmas number one.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50We must know a Christmas number one in the '70s.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52I do, um...
0:42:52 > 0:42:54It's, er...
0:42:54 > 0:42:57- Wizard, the Christmas number one... - No, everyone...
0:42:57 > 0:43:00- Slade, everyone will know that. - 10 seconds left.
0:43:00 > 0:43:01Er...Mull Of Kintyre.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Mull Of Kintyre?
0:43:03 > 0:43:07- Was that a Christmas one?- Yeah. Well, it was a Christmas number one.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Are you sure?
0:43:09 > 0:43:11OK, that is your time up
0:43:11 > 0:43:13I now need your three answers.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17Regular cast members of Are You Being Served? Frank Thornton.
0:43:17 > 0:43:21- Frank Thornton.- Who played Mr P... No.- Yeah, Mr Peacock.- Was it?
0:43:21 > 0:43:24Anyway, it's Frank Thornton. He was in Are You Being Served?
0:43:24 > 0:43:27OK, Frank Thornton. What else?
0:43:27 > 0:43:31- Wasn't one of the other ones called Trevor Bannister?- Yes, he was.
0:43:31 > 0:43:34- He's quite obscure.- He's better than Frank Thornton.
0:43:34 > 0:43:38- Do you think so?- Do you want to bung him up as well?
0:43:38 > 0:43:41- Trevor Bannister.- Yeah.- OK, Frank Thornton and Trevor Bannister
0:43:41 > 0:43:43What's your third answer?
0:43:43 > 0:43:46I hate myself now for this. Mull Of Kintyre.
0:43:46 > 0:43:48- By Wings.- Wings.
0:43:48 > 0:43:53OK, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:43:53 > 0:43:56- Trevor Bannister.- Trevor Bannister.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58- If it is him.- No, you're right.
0:43:58 > 0:44:02- The name just came in my head. - We'll put Trevor Bannister last.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05Which is your least likely to be pointless, do you think?
0:44:05 > 0:44:08- Mull Of Kintyre.- Mull Of Kintyre. - So Wings we'll put first.- OK.
0:44:08 > 0:44:12Let's put them on the board in that order, and here they are.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18OK, now, best of luck.
0:44:18 > 0:44:20Your first answer was Wings.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22Let's find out if that's correct.
0:44:22 > 0:44:26If it's that, and it's pointless, you will win that jackpot
0:44:26 > 0:44:27of £3,000 for your charities.
0:44:27 > 0:44:31Let's find out. Wings, is it right? How many people said it?
0:44:31 > 0:44:36Was that a Christmas number one holding act from the '70s?
0:44:38 > 0:44:39It's right.
0:44:39 > 0:44:41Very well said, Phil.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43Now, if this goes all the way down to zero,
0:44:43 > 0:44:47you will leave here with that £3,000 jackpot for your charities.
0:44:47 > 0:44:49It's still going down. Down it goes.
0:44:49 > 0:44:50Oh, four!
0:44:50 > 0:44:52APPLAUSE
0:44:53 > 0:44:56That's a great answer.
0:44:56 > 0:44:59- That's a fantastic score. - Really brilliant.
0:44:59 > 0:45:03Sadly, in this final round, we are only interested in pointless answers.
0:45:03 > 0:45:06So, your second answer. Frank Thornton.
0:45:06 > 0:45:09A member of the cast of Are You Being Served?
0:45:09 > 0:45:13If this is correct and pointless, you will win today's jackpot.
0:45:13 > 0:45:14Meera, what's your charity?
0:45:14 > 0:45:17- The Alzheimer's Society. - Phil, what's yours?
0:45:17 > 0:45:22- It's the NSPCC.- Excellent, two brilliant charities.
0:45:22 > 0:45:23APPLAUSE
0:45:23 > 0:45:27Let's hope one of these two remaining answers wins that jackpot.
0:45:27 > 0:45:30Let's find out. Was Frank Thornton a member of the cast
0:45:30 > 0:45:32of Are You Being Served?
0:45:34 > 0:45:36Oh, yes, he was.
0:45:36 > 0:45:40Now then, Wings took us down to four. A fantastic answer.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43Now then, Frank Thornton takes us down through the twenties
0:45:43 > 0:45:46into the teens, down into single figures...
0:45:46 > 0:45:49- Oh, five for Frank Thornton. - Oh, wow!
0:45:49 > 0:45:52- OK. - APPLAUSE
0:45:52 > 0:45:57- This was just teeing us up for your final answer.- Really?
0:45:57 > 0:46:01- The one that came to you in a flash. - But I think I'm really wrong.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03I think he might be an athlete instead.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05Trevor Bannister, you are thinking of.
0:46:05 > 0:46:09Let's find out. Is he a cast member of Are You Being Served?
0:46:11 > 0:46:13It's right.
0:46:13 > 0:46:16So, first answer, Wings, took us down to four.
0:46:16 > 0:46:20Second answer, Frank Thornton, took us down to five.
0:46:20 > 0:46:23Now then, Trevor Bannister, taking us down in single figures.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25Still going down... Oh, no, one!
0:46:25 > 0:46:27Oh, no!
0:46:27 > 0:46:28Oh, no!
0:46:28 > 0:46:30APPLAUSE
0:46:30 > 0:46:32Oh, what?!
0:46:32 > 0:46:36Who is that one person? I want to find them and tell them off.
0:46:36 > 0:46:40- Yeah, come on.- Listen, three brilliant answers there.
0:46:40 > 0:46:45Fantastic low scores for all of them, but you didn't find the all-important pointless answer.
0:46:45 > 0:46:48So that means you don't win today's jackpot of £3,000.
0:46:48 > 0:46:51However, as it is a celebrity special, we are going to donate £500
0:46:51 > 0:46:54to each celebrity pair for their respective charities.
0:46:54 > 0:46:57We've loved having you on the show. Thank you for playing.
0:46:57 > 0:47:01You do take home a Pointless trophy each, so well done for that.
0:47:01 > 0:47:05APPLAUSE
0:47:08 > 0:47:13That was very close. We don't often get three answers in the jackpot round in single figures
0:47:13 > 0:47:16so it's really unlucky. Let's look at some pointless answers.
0:47:16 > 0:47:18I think you chose the right category.
0:47:18 > 0:47:22Chancellor of the Exchequer, the only pointless one was Roy Jenkins.
0:47:22 > 0:47:26Denis Healey was the biggest scorer with 13.
0:47:26 > 0:47:30Next category, cast members of Are You Being Served?
0:47:30 > 0:47:33Now, Nicholas Smith is Mr Rumbold.
0:47:33 > 0:47:37- And Young Mr Grace was played by Harold Bennett.- Harold Bennett.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40Next best answer after that was Trevor Bannister.
0:47:40 > 0:47:44There were ten acts with number one Christmas singles in the '70s.
0:47:44 > 0:47:47Benny Hill with Ernie, The Fastest Milkman In The West.
0:47:47 > 0:47:48Dave Edmunds, I Hear You Knocking.
0:47:48 > 0:47:51And Little Jimmy Osmond, Long-Haired Lover From Liverpool.
0:47:51 > 0:47:55Other answers, Pink Floyd would have scored 1, Johnny Mathis 3,
0:47:55 > 0:47:57we've seen Wings, Boney M would score 4,
0:47:57 > 0:48:02Queen 10, Mud 16, and Slade 63, unsurprisingly.
0:48:02 > 0:48:06- I thought there'd be more than that. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09We have to say goodbye to you, Meera and Phil, but it's been brilliant.
0:48:09 > 0:48:13Thank you for playing. Meera and Phil, fantastic competitors.
0:48:13 > 0:48:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:48:15 > 0:48:19Join us next time when we'll put more obscure knowledge to the test
0:48:19 > 0:48:22- on Pointless. It's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:48:22 > 0:48:24And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
