Episode 5 Pointless Celebrities

-COCKNEY:

-I'll be in later. Oi, Richie! What are you up to?

-The Pointless EastEnders special.

-Who's on?

-Masood, Roxy.

-OK.

-We've got Pete Beale. We've got Mark Fowler.

-'e's got a right nerve showing up!

All right, tiger. Come on.

-Who else is on?

-We've got Whitney and Tyler.

-Nice.

-Oi! Oi!

-Natalie Evans, Barry Evans, the lovely Shaun Williamson.

-Shaun Williamson? That muppet?! I owe him 50 large. You ain't seen me.

-You're presenting the show.

-'Ere, Zander, I'm havin' your baby!

-Shut it!

Rich, you think being as this is an EastEnders episode, I can do it in my normal accent?

No, I need you back in character.

I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you very much. I'm Alexander Armstrong. A very warm welcome

to a special EastEnders edition of Pointless, putting obscure knowledge to the test.

Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities.

-Couple number one.

-Hello. I'm Rita. I play Roxy in EastEnders.

Hello. I'm Nitin Ganatra and I play Masood in EastEnders.

-Oops.

-I wasn't supposed to say the EastEnders bit.

-Couple number two.

-Is that us?

OK. My name's Todd and I used to play Mark. Good evening.

And I'm Pete. I used to play Pete Beale.

-And couple number three.

-My name's Tony. I play Tyler.

My name's Shona. I play Whitney Dean.

And, finally, couple number four.

My name's Lucy. I used to play Natalie.

I'm Shaun. I played Fat Barry.

And these are today's EastEnders contestants. We'll get to know more about you as we go along.

That leaves one more person. A man I've known for 25 years and I've never seen him get anything wrong,

except for a couple of haircuts in the late '80s and his Nirvana phase. It's my Pointless friend, Richard!

Hiya. Hi, everybody. Hiya.

-This is fun, isn't it?

-Yes.

-I love the great lengths we've gone to.

-Think people have worked out it's an EastEnders special yet?

-Yeah.

-It's the first time I've had a bar.

-That's quite nice.

-I think we might think about keeping that.

-That was real beer you were drinking there.

-Yeah.

-Just have a little...

-Oh, steady. Look at that.

-Oh, lovely. That'll do me.

Mmm!

That is exactly what I want just before a show. Now obviously everyone here is from EastEnders,

but we have three former champions of Pointless. Shaun and Lucy won together in a team.

They didn't win the jackpot. They got knocked out on Celine Dion singles.

-Yeah, unfortunately. Anyone else.

-And Todd got through to the final with Bonnie Langford.

-He's traded up this time.

-I agree.

It's a proper tough competition with people who can really play.

-It's going to be an absolute cracker.

-All our questions were put to 100 people before the show.

Our contestants need the obscure answers they didn't get. Find a pointless answer that no-one gave

and we'll add 250 quid to the jackpot. As today's show is a celebrity special

and they each have a nominated charity, we start off with a jackpot of £2,500.

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

OK, in this first round I want an answer from each of you, but no conferring.

I really mean that. No conferring. Whichever pair has the highest score will be heading home.

Our first category today is... Best of luck. ..board games.

Board games. Can you all decide who's going to go first and who's going to go second?

Whoever's going first please step up to the podium.

-I don't play board games!

-Nitin...

-I'll go first.

-OK.

-He just told me he loves board games(!)

-The question concerns...

..spaces on the London Monopoly board. Spaces on the London Monopoly board. Richard?

Ah! Yeah. More specifically, we're about to show you a series of categories within the board.

You need to tell us any square that fits in one of the categories you're about to see.

Give us an incorrect answer and it's 100 points. Best of luck.

-Thank you.

-Will those categories stay up the whole way?

-Indeed.

-Good.

Those categories are going to stay up the whole way through. We'll go up the line and back down

with these categories remaining the same. OK? There's five of them and here they are.

HE READS THE LIST

I'll read those one last time.

Now, Nitin and Rita, you drew lots and today you're going to go first.

-Nitin, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.

-Pleasure.

What are your interests outside EastEnders?

Outside of EastEnders? The east end of London, cockles and eels...

Mash. No?

No, I like art. I studied art, so I like going to art galleries a lot.

Er...I... I do a lot of martial arts.

-Good.

-I do a Brazilian martial art called Capoeira. Very acrobatic for an old man like me.

Richard serves up a mean capoeira. I might ask him for one later.

-Now, Nitin...

-Yes.

-The Monopoly board.

-Yes...

It's been a few years. I haven't played it since I was about eight,

but...I couldn't say "Go to jail", could I?

"Go to jail". Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said "Go to jail".

It's right.

-35.

-That's good.

Not bad at all, Nitin.

-Oh, dear!

-Very well played. Represented by that American-looking police officer with a whistle.

-And a flat hat.

-Office Malloy is his actual name.

-It IS American?

-Yeah.

-Peter, welcome to Pointless.

-Thank you.

-Great to have you here.

-I'm going to call you the patriarch of EastEnders. Is that a fair thing to say?

-If you like.

-You were in the very first episode.

-Yes, very first episode.

-What are your interests outside?

-Fishing.

Greyhound racing, which is my love.

-Have you owned greyhounds?

-Yes.

-Do you still?

-I just got rid of two. I'm waiting to get a new litter.

-Very exciting. Now the Monopoly board.

-Yes.

-What are you going to go for?

-Stations, I think.

-Which one?

-Fenchurch Street.

-Fenchurch Street, says Peter. Is that right? How many said it?

It's right.

Now 35 our low score at the moment.

13 for Fenchurch Street. Very well done, Peter. Lovely low score.

Yeah, the real one was built in 1854.

-Thanks, Richard. Now, Tony, welcome to the show.

-Thank you.

-Now you're still on EastEnders.

-Yep.

-Tyler Moon, of course. Bit of a Romeo, bit of a Lothario.

-Well, maybe. I'm not too sure.

-You're not too sure?!

And with your current fiancee, which is nice.

-Have you set a date yet?

-No, not yet.

-No.

-Whitney's sort of tamed him after a while.

-He was a bit of a Romeo, but he's tamed now.

-We could have an exclusive on the show.

-Richard, when are you free?

-For a wedding?

-Yeah.

-I'm pretty much free now, if I'm honest.

We'll...we'll do it later. We'll sort it out.

-Tony, what are your interests?

-I enjoy going to the theatre. Em, I love boxing.

-I like fishing as well.

-Good stuff. Now what are you going to go for?

Yeah, I'm not sure if it's correct. I'll go for stations.

-Marble Arch.

-Marble Arch, says Tony. Marble Arch.

Let's see if that's right. What did our 100 people say?

Oh, bad luck, Tony! I'm sorry.

Marble Arch is not a station on the Monopoly board. That scores the maximum 100 points.

Sorry, Tony. It doesn't fit any of those categories, I'm afraid.

If it fits one, we'll accept it, but none of them, I'm afraid.

Thanks, Richard. Now, Lucy. Welcome back. A champion. A returning, conquering hero.

-How does it feel to be back?

-Wonderful. Best day of my life so far.

Lucy, what are you hoping will come up on the show today?

Is this a trick question? I'm confident with everything once somebody else has said it.

"Of course!" But I practically know nothing when I have to think of it myself.

-OK. Are you comfortable with the Monopoly board?

-It was probably my most hated game

when I was younger. I was more of a sort of Kerplunk kid! LAUGHTER

We should have done a Kerplunk question! It would be much better.

-When I was pregnant, I did get a little bit into Monopoly.

-OK, what are you going to go for?

-I'll got for Angel, Islington.

-Angel, Islington. Is that right? How many people said it?

Good answer, Lucy. Well done.

12! Look at that! The best score of the round so far, Lucy.

Well played, Lucy. Light blue. It fits into the category of properties that cost less than £200.

-Costs £100.

-There we are. Very good. We're halfway through the round.

Let's take a look at those scores. The best score was Lucy's. Lucy and Shaun looking pretty strong.

Then up to 13, Peter and Todd.

Up to 35, Nitin and Rita.

-Then up to 100, Tony and Shona. Shona, we'll definitely need a low score from you.

-No pressure, then.

Quite a lot of pressure. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

OK, Shaun, we are looking for spaces on the standard London Monopoly board that fulfil these criteria.

Any of those criteria.

-Let's have a look...

-Shaun, before you give your answer, what happened last time?

-That day will be imprinted indelibly in your mind.

-Celine Dion will be!

But I'm sure if you asked the great lady to name shows I'd been in, she'd struggle equally.

I bet you she wouldn't! I bet she can name a few.

Shaun, what are your interests?

I share my interests with some people here. Boxing. And I'm a fellow Fulham sufferer with Richard.

35 years of hurt, I've had.

Now then, Shaun, what are you going to go for?

I'll try to get properties that cost less than £200. Pentonville Road.

Pentonville Road. You are on 12. The high scorers are Shona and Tony on 100.

If you can score 87 or less, you're in Round Two.

Pentonville Road.

It's right and you're through. Very well done.

Look at that! Four.

Williamson rides again. Takes your score up to 16.

-Very well done.

-Showing the class we'd expect of a champion. £120.

Another light blue square. Pentonville Prison not in Pentonville Road.

-Did you know that?

-I did.

-Amazing, isn't it?

-Yeah, strange.

-Shona...

-Hello!

-A very warm welcome. Lovely to have you here.

-Thanks for having me.

-Tony has bequeathed you... This is so unfair. ..a very high score.

Do you play Monopoly at all?

Do you know what? I used to play it quite a lot, but now... I can't think.

No, I can't either. What are your interests outside EastEnders?

-What were you hoping would come up?

-Something to do with music.

-I really enjoy singing, so...

-Do you sing in a band?

No, but...I'm trying to get just a couple of friends who play instruments, which helps,

to get a band together so I can muck around a bit.

Anyway, listen, Monopoly squares.

Oh, dear.

-Old Kent Road?

-Old Kent Road, says Shona.

No red line for you, but let's see how many people said Old Kent Road.

It's right.

A very good answer. 49. Very well done, Shona.

-Nice one.

-49 takes your total to 149.

The joint cheapest on the board. £60. In 2011, they reassessed all the property values.

A newspaper did it. It's now worth £208 million.

They did the property values of all the different squares.

Interesting. I mean that. Interesting.

-Thanks very much. Now, Todd, welcome back.

-Thank you.

You're on 13. The good news is you are already through.

Even if you score 100, you won't overtake the high score of Shona and Tony.

Now then, Todd. Todd.

-What are you up to at the moment?

-What am I up to at the moment?

-You were touring last time.

-I was touring with Spamalot,

singing Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life every night.

I haven't got a clue what I'm going to say next. I've hung up my coconuts. We crunch coconuts.

In case you're thinking something a bit weird. It's not.

And I'm now at home with my two boys, four dogs and, um...

-And opening my arms to life and enjoying it.

-Lovely.

-Well thank you for coming back to visit us.

-Thank you.

-Now what are you going to go for?

-Anything at all on the board whatsoever?

-As long as it fulfils one of those criteria.

That makes a huge difference, then! OK, then...

-King's Cross?

-King's Cross. No red line for you.

But let's see how many of our 100 people said King's Cross.

It's right.

Very good indeed. 35.

-35 takes your total up to 48.

-Well played, Todd. Safe and sound.

-Costs £200.

-Thanks very much. Now then, Rita.

-Yes.

Again, outside Albert Square, what are your interests?

Oh, I'm into all sorts of weird and wonderful stuff.

From yoga to all sorts of keep fit and training.

To anything spiritual.

To...shopping.

To music. Love music. Singing.

A wide range.

-In a normal week, how many days are you on set?

-We can work six days a week.

-12 hours a day.

-Wow.

-But, generally, you can expect to be there Monday to Saturday.

-Saturday.

-Yeah. We love that(!)

-Yeah.

OK, now then. Let's have an answer. Any space on the London Monopoly board that fulfils any of these.

I am just going to say a word because I can see it on the board.

I do not know anything about Monopoly. Haven't played it, like the rest, since I was eight.

-Pimlico.

-Pimlico. OK.

Well, you're already through, even if you score 100.

Is Pimlico right? How many people said it? No red line for you.

Oh, bad luck! No Pimlico on the Monopoly board.

You asked Nitin?!

And I can't even speak English!

-That's an incorrect answer.

-Pimlico is so on there! It's so on there, isn't it?!

-That has scored you 100 points and takes you to 135.

-Are we out? Can we go home now?

-No!

Sorry, Rita. Pimlico not on the Monopoly board. That's an outrage.

-Oh, it is?

-It is.

-I'm so sorry.

Can we take those points back? ..No, apparently it isn't.

-It should be, shouldn't it?

-Yeah!

-It does sound like it is.

No pointless answers here. There's a few one-pointers.

If you said Bow Street, Marlborough Street or Northumberland Avenue, they're all under £200.

Let's take a look at the three biggest scorers, the ones that most people said.

In Jail/Just Visiting scored 40.

Old Kent Road, the second-highest answer of all. 49 points.

-And right at the top, Mayfair with 50 points.

-Thanks, Richard.

So at the end of our first round, the pair heading home with 149 is Shona and Tony.

Oh, I'm really sorry. You did well. Old Kent Road was a great answer.

Anyway, we have to say goodbye. Thank you so much for playing. Shona and Tony, everyone!

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

Well, so only three pairs remain. Shaun and Lucy, that was devastating.

-Devastating low scores.

-Misspent childhood.

It was an admirable performance.

Rita, Nitin is carrying you. I think we have to say that.

Pull your socks up or there will be bad blood on the Square. All right?

OK, very best of luck to all three pairs. Our category is...Pop.

Can you all decide who is going to go first and who's going second?

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

Let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds

to name as many Madonna UK Top 10 singles as they could. Richard?

We're looking for any single released by Madonna that's reached the UK Top 10.

We'll also accept answers where it's another act featuring Madonna. Very best of luck.

OK, thank you very much indeed. Rita, your chance to shine here.

Ha ha! OK...

I've got a few in my head, but I don't know if they made the Top 10.

-Are you a fan of Madonna?

-I'm not a fan. No, that sounds awful.

I like Madonna, but she's not what I'm into, but I know all about her

and I remember very well all her music when I was a child.

And I would say...

-a safe answer would be Into The Groove.

-Into The Groove.

Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 said it.

It's right.

-Wow, look at that. Eight. Very well done, Rita.

-Well done!

-Eight for Into The Groove.

-Very well played, Rita.

-More fun than Monopoly, isn't it?

-Yeah! We like music.

-It's her first UK number one. Into The Groove.

-Thanks.

-It becomes you, that bar.

-Sitting at a bar? Can I ask you a question? I'll ask Pete.

You must have done a lot of Queen Vic drinking in your time. Because this isn't real beer.

It's really, really grim, but what do you drink in the Vic?

-In my day it was real beer.

-Really?

-Yes. Then the BBC had its cutbacks.

-And now we're all suffering.

-Yes.

-I'm going to pour myself another one, I think.

That is a lot better.

-Todd...

-Yeah.

-Madonna.

-Madonna.

I've got to go for a guess. I'll have a pint with Richard in a minute.

-I'll go for, I think, American Pie.

-American Pie, says Todd.

Is that right? How many said it?

American Pie is right.

Eight our low score at the moment.

Seven! Very well done, Todd.

Best score so far.

Very well played. It's going to be a very good round. A cover of the Don McLean song.

Much shorter than the original.

Now, Lucy... Lucy, are you a Madonna fan?

I was when I was younger, yes. I did rather like Madonna.

-Was Lucky Star in the Top 10?

-Lucky Star, says Lucy.

Let's see if that's right.

Oh, no!

Bad luck, Lucy. Unfortunately, that seems to be incorrect. Sorry.

That scores the maximum 100 points.

I am amazed. I thought that was locked on. It wasn't a Top 10 hit. It was number 14.

I was unsure about it.

-It was a very early one.

-Such a big song, though.

We're halfway through the round. Seven was the best score.

Todd and Peter looking pretty strong at this stage.

Up to eight, Rita and Nitin.

Then up to 100, Lucy and Shaun.

However, it may not be the last 100.

-You never know.

-It won't be!

Shaun, if you score low, you might be in with a shout.

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

OK, Shaun, we are looking for Madonna UK Top 10 singles. You're the high scorers.

-Change my tactics now.

-It's got to be a really low score.

I have to go for a pointless answer. Dear Jessie.

Dear Jessie. Dear Jessie says Shaun. No red line for you.

How many of our 100 said Dear Jessie?

It's right.

Oh, very well done indeed! Look at that! A pointless answer.

It adds £250 to today's jackpot and takes the total up to £2,750.

It scores you nothing and leaves your total at 100. Maybe that's enough to keep you in the game.

That is the way to do it, Shaun. From 1989.

Number five, Dear Jessie.

-Peter...

-Yes.

-A Madonna UK Top 10 single.

-No idea.

If it was Marie Lloyd, I might have been able to do it. No idea.

So we'll take a guess and say Knees Up, Mother Brown.

LAUGHTER

Wouldn't put it past her. Knees Up, Mother Brown. She went through that phase.

-Yeah, yeah.

-OK, Knees Up, Mother Brown says Peter. There is your red line.

If you were to get below that, you'd be through to the head-to-head.

Let's find out if Madonna sang Knees Up, Mother Brown.

Oh! Bad luck, Peter.

-Music to Shaun and Lucy's ears.

-Yes.

But I'm afraid that scores you 100 points. Takes you to 107.

It's a real testament to Shaun's ability as an actor, that he didn't give away the fact that he is

so utterly delighted by that, Peter. You nearly did.

I could almost see you go, but he kept it in. That's a pro.

Thanks very much. Now, Nitin.

The high scorers are Peter and Todd on 107. You're on eight.

Score 98 or less and you're through.

-I don't think I can score anything.

-Oh!

-I don't know. Madonna...

-All the big numbers are in my mind. I can't go for those.

-You can score 98 or less.

There's one song in my mind. I can remember the lyrics, but not the title.

-Was there a track called Frozen?

-Nitin says Frozen.

Let's see if that's right and how many people said it. Here is your red line. Very high.

I would suggest you just have to be right and you are through.

Everything for Peter and Todd is riding on this. Frozen - is it right? How many said it?

It is right! Very well done, Nitin.

Five! That's a great answer.

Five takes your total up to 13. Best score of the round.

A big number one hit all round the world in 1998, Frozen.

How many Top 10 hits do you think Madonna has had? Roughly.

20?

At time of recording, 61.

61 Top 10 hits.

How about that? And Lucky Star not one of them!

-I can't believe this!

-It's her 62nd best-selling single. Let's see some pointless answers.

Some people at home will have some.

American Life, Another Suitcase In Another Hall, from Evita, Bedtime Story.

All of these were Top 10 hits. Causing A Commotion, Dear Jessie, Erotica was pointless, amazingly.

Hanky Panky also a pointless answer, Jump, You Must Love Me.

Let's look at the biggest answers that most people said.

Holiday would have scored you 27.

Material Girl, 28.

And biggest Madonna single - Like A Virgin, 59.

Thanks, Richard. So I'm afraid our pair with 107 who will be heading home

-are Peter and Todd. I'm so sorry, Peter.

-It's OK.

-It wasn't a good round for you.

-Can I have a recount?

Let me have one more look, Peter. ..Oh, do you know, it's not.

-It got to number 11.

-Oh!

Thank you so much, Todd. And Peter, it's been great having you here. Brilliant contestants.

But for the remaining two pairs it's now time for the head-to-head.

Congratulations, Shaun and Lucy, Nitin and Rita. You are one step closer to winning our jackpot

which currently stands at £2,750.

To decide who plays for that money, you now go head-to-head, but now, Rita, you're allowed to confer.

The first pair to win two questions will play for the jackpot. Shaun and Lucy, you've been here before.

Only last time it was Jake Humphrey and David Coulthard you played.

We were a little bit lucky. Jake, in particular, is incredibly bright.

-Yeah.

-A couple of times it was because they just happened to pick a worse one than us.

We didn't pick the best answers, but they just picked ones worse.

-Again, I admire your acting, Shaun.

-He's so sweet.

-Very sweet.

-Because he's so bright, he picked a less good answer.

-What do you make of your rivals today?

-I think they're feisty.

-Yeah, they're certainly that.

-And lovely and funny.

Well, we've had some good answers. Into The Groove and Frozen.

-Lucy, so unlucky. So unlucky with Lucky Star.

-I just tried to be too clever.

Well, very best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.

OK, here comes your first question.

And it concerns...sausages.

-Sausages, Richard.

-Our favourite subject!

You know you're at the business end when sausages comes up.

We'll show you the names of five sausages, minus alternate letters. Fill them in, pick the most obscure.

OK, thanks very much. Let's reveal our five sausages. Here they are.

-We have got...

-HE READS THE LIST

I'll read those again.

There we are. Five sausages with bits missing.

Shaun and Lucy, you've played best so far so you get to go first.

Why couldn't they have porky whites on there?

-Ah, yes.

-Can you see what the top and the third one are?

Em, we're struggling with one and three. Just give us a few more seconds and then we'll answer.

-I've just got the top one. All right to go Mortadella?

-Yes.

We'll go on the top one, please. I think... It's my fault if it's wrong. Mortadella.

-Sounds fantastic.

-Wonderful. Sounds delicious. Mortadella.

-Now then, Nitin and Rita, talk us through the board.

-Right.

I'm a vegetarian.

LAUGHTER

So I can't see anything that could spell veggie sausages up there.

-So I'm kind of in Rita's hands right now.

-Which is not great.

I know what the bottom two are and number two. The first one you've answered.

-The third one, I don't know what that is. Well...

-Don't do the bottom one.

-Not the second one either.

-I know the bottom one.

Is it Brotwurt or something? It's a German sausage. Am I making that up?

Brotwurt... Ja?

-Brotwurt?

-We're making it up.

-Bratwurst!

-Bratwurst!

-Ja!

-Bratwurst say Rita and Nitin. So we have Mortadella, we have Bratwurst.

Shaun and Lucy said Mortadella. Is that right? How many said it? On your head be this, Shaun.

It's right.

It's very right!

Look at that, Shaun!

There we are. Another pointless answer. Adds another £250 and takes the total up to £3,000.

It scores you nothing. Thine be the glory, Shaun. Very well done.

-Now Bratwurst from Rita and Nitin.

-Ja!

-Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.

-It's right.

-Come on, come on.

-Oh, bad luck!

-Rubbish!

-69.

Very well done, Shaun and Lucy. You are up one-nil.

Nitin and Rita, I could listen to you pronounce sausages all day. I really could.

Mortadella. Terrific answer. The original Bologna sausage. In America, it's baloney.

Pork, garlic and seasoning.

-I think Rita knew the bottom one, which is...

-Frankfurter.

-It's a big scorer. 96. And the second one...

-Chipolata.

-Yeah, exactly.

-We think we've figured out the third one.

It wouldn't have saved the day. It's a smoked Polish sausage.

-Knebbish?

-It's not. It does fit, but it's not. It's a Kielbasa.

Five people knew that. It shows how much Polish food we have now.

-Kielbasa.

-Thank you very much, Richard.

-Here comes your second question. Nitin and Rita, you need this one.

-OK.

-You get to answer it first.

-Oh!

And it concerns... celebrities in panto.

-Celebrities...

-Shane Richie!

-..in panto. Richard?

-You never know.

We'll show you five images of celebrities in panto. You just need to name the celebrity. Best of luck.

Let's reveal our five celebrities in panto. Here they come.

There we are. Five celebrities in panto.

Now, Nitin and Rita, you go first this time.

-Em...

-It's not fair. He knows everything about panto!

-Not fair. Oh, no, you don't!

-Do you know who everyone is?

-Em, some.

-I don't. I know three of them. I know two of them!

I know, yes, two of them.

OK, well, that one that we said is quite unlikely if you didn't know.

Yeah. Which one was that, then?

-C.

-Yeah. I'd go for C.

-C...

-Yeah.

-Priscilla Presley.

-Priscilla Presley.

C, Priscilla Presley, say Nitin and Rita. Priscilla Presley.

-Now, Shaun and Lucy, the board is all yours.

-I said, "Biggins has got to be in there."

-And there he is!

-I was looking for Biggins or Cribbo.

-Well, talk us through all of them.

-A is...

-Biggins.

-E is...

-John something. I don't know. Barrowman.

I knew Priscilla.

I know that the beautiful young lady, D, is someone from Hollyoaks, but I don't know her name.

-I'm not very current.

-Can I have a punt at B? It might be wrong.

-Can I have a punt at B?

-Yes.

-Is that all right with you?

I think B is Craig Revel Horwood.

-Oh!

-B, Craig Revel Horwood.

-How do you do that?!

-Yeah.

-So we have Priscilla Presley versus Craig Revel Horwood.

Nitin and Rita said Priscilla Presley. Is that right?

It's right.

Come on, come on.

18! Very well done.

-OK...

-18.

But Shaun and Lucy have gone for Craig Revel Horwood, B.

-It does look like him.

-Let's find out if that's right and, if it is, how many said it.

It's absolutely right. Very well done, Shaun.

Yep, you've done it. Very well done - four!

Brilliant. Once again, Shaun and Lucy, you've done it. You're through to the final, 2-0.

Shaun, have you been in Rocky-style training for this show? It's the best answer up there.

When you see it, it's him, but it's very tough to get.

-What gave you a clue on that one?

-To be brutally honest, I live in Kent and he's done a lot of stuff

in Kent, at a couple of theatres in Kent, with Ann Widdecombe. They're a double act in panto.

-I remember seeing his picture in the local press.

-A, you're right, is Christopher Biggins.

Would have scored only 20 points. He's not instantly recognisable.

D is - you're right, a Hollyoaks actress - Gemma Atkinson.

-That's right.

-10 points.

And E is the mighty John Barrowman. He would have scored you 55. The biggest answer up there.

Thanks very much, Richard. So the pair leaving us, I'm really sorry, is Nitin and Rita.

I'm so sorry. Two good answers and Bratwurst was a piece of inspiration.

And beautifully said. As a vegetarian, I must apologise

for giving you sausages like that, but it's been lovely having you on. Thank you, Rita and Nitin.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

But for Shaun and Lucy it's now time for our Pointless final.

Congratulations, Shaun and Lucy, you've seen off the others and won, for the second time,

our coveted Pointless trophy. So very well done.

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot for your charities and today it stands at £3,000.

Now fully £500 of that jackpot is down to you, Shaun. Down to you.

We had Dear Jessie and Mortadella.

Two fantastic answers there. And Lucky Star would probably have been pointless had it been right.

-It would have been glorious.

-What was she thinking only going to 14?

Nobody knew her then. That was the platform to the rest of the songs.

You're right, you're right.

Now last time it was Celine Dion. What would you like to see come up in this final round?

-What do you like, Lucy?

-I'd like to see the life and times of Lucy Speed come up.

-We have had that before.

-Have you?

-How did they do?

-Brilliantly. Shaun, anything in particular?

I like America. Anything to do with it. Presidents, Nobel Prize winners, Oscars. Anything like that.

-Just go from sort of A to P of any sort of encyclopaedia.

-Science and nature.

-Shaun.

-What happens after P?!

-Well...

-Oh, those Qs!

-A to Z, then! LAUGHTER

-That's a back-handed compliment.

-It's because he's only young. He's only got that far.

-He keeps learning until he needs the loo.

-Yes.

-OK.

The first thing you have to do is choose a category. Here are your four options.

-Irish Geography?!

-Right... I think we can safely rule out Euro 2012, the football.

-Yeah.

But when it comes to children's films, it's all right if it's sort of retro stuff.

-Like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Are you up on Harry Potter and stuff like that?

-Er...no.

So if it's all that modern stuff...

-I'm a bit more drawn...

-Do you remember much Shakespeare?

-Only the ones I've been in.

I'm not one of those people who could name loads of others.

Shall we go for Shakespearean Comedies? It's up to you. Or Children's Films.

It's between those two.

-I don't know. You decide.

-If you can chip in...

-You decide.

-You decide.

-We'll go for Shakespearean Comedies.

-Oh!

Shakespearean Comedies it is. Richard?

-Brave choice.

-It is!

-We'll give you three categories now.

We are looking for any named character in As You Like It,

any named character in Much Ado About Nothing

or any named character in The Taming of The Shrew. I hope you've been in one of those.

-Very best of luck.

-OK, thanks. You've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.

To win that jackpot of £3,000 for your charities, just one answer has to be pointless.

Your answers can be from any category. All three from one, two from one... Entirely up to you.

Just let me know which category when you submit the answer.

-Are you ready?

-Yep.

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

-There they are. Your time starts now.

-OK, let's go for it. As You Like It. Know anyone?

There's a shepherdess called Audrey.

-I think...

-I was really hoping Twelfth Night would come up here.

-In The Taming of The Shrew, there's Grumio.

-Is there a Katherine in Taming of The Shrew?

Yeah, but she's the main lead. And Petruchio.

-There's someone called Grumio.

-Are you just putting "eo" at the end?

-Yeah!

It's "io".

-Petruch...Petruchio.

-He's the lead character.

But it depends who they've asked.

But if they know Petruchio, they might not know...

-Can you think of anyone in Much Ado?

-No.

-Beatrice and Benedick. I think there's someone called...

-10 seconds left.

-OK.

We've got to find three.

I'd go with...

OK, that's your time up.

I now need your three answers. You've got some good ones. Shaun?

-Do Grumio.

-OK, Grumio in The Taming of The Shrew.

-In Taming of The Shrew.

-In As You Like It, Audrey.

-Audrey.

-And Charles the Wrestler.

-And Charles the Wrestler.

-Have you played Charles the Wrestler?

-No! But if Mr Branagh's watching...

my half-Nelson is something to be admired.

LAUGHTER

-It wasn't...

-I can vouch for that!

-It wasn't a euphemism!

Of those three, which is your best shot?

-I'd say Grumio.

-Lucy, you're being very vocal.

-Shaun?

-I would have preferred to have seen Twelfth Night up there.

I think our best shot, if it's right, is Charles the Wrestler.

-We'll put that last.

-And then Grumio and first Audrey.

-Grumio in the middle, Audrey at the top.

-Yeah.

-OK, let's put those up in that order. Here they are.

We have got Audrey, Grumio and Charles. The wrestler.

Very best of luck. Three brilliant answers. First, Audrey.

If this is right and pointless, you will win £3,000 for your charities. Shaun, what is yours?

The Kent Air Ambulance. It's ridiculous they need to apply to charities for money.

APPLAUSE

-Lucy, what's your charity?

-I'm playing for the Lily Foundation,

a small charity that funds research into Mitochondrial Disease

and also we provide rooms for parents whose children are very sick and dying in hospital

-and we put them on holiday for their last memories.

-Very good. Two fantastic charities there.

Very best of luck with these answers. Three brilliant answers.

Let's hope at least one of them wins that jackpot for you. Your first answer was Audrey.

So, for £3,000, is Audrey a character from As You Like It?

It's right.

Audrey the shepherdess. If she can take us all the way down to zero, you will leave with £3,000.

Down she goes through the teens into single figures.

You've done it! Very well done!

Fantastic! Brilliant!

-Shaun is a marvel.

-Shaun, very well done.

Absolutely fantastic.

Shaun, you are a Pointless machine.

-LAUGHTER

-There is nothing...

There is nothing you don't know very little about. In the best way.

You have fantastic obscure knowledge. Congratulations.

Audrey was a pointless answer so you win that £3,000 for your charities. Very well done.

Just brilliant.

Flawless from start to finish. Two pointless answers, the lowest in the panto round.

Your very first answer here is pointless.

-Charles the Wrestler also a pointless answer.

-APPLAUSE

Which gives you four... and Grumio scored you one point. What were you thinking?!

What were you thinking, Shaun? Just a terrific achievement. Well done. Lovely for both charities.

You've been brilliant throughout.

Let's look at some more pointless answers. Audrey, Corin, Dennis, Duke Senior,

who was played by Brian Blessed in the Kenneth Branagh adaptation.

Let's see Much Ado About Nothing. Balthasar, Borachio, Friar Francis, Leonato.

All pointless answers.

And The Taming of The Shrew. Christopher Sly, Biondello, Curtis and Vincentio.

Gremio, not Grumio, was pointless, but Grumio scored one point.

-I mean, that was textbook Pointless, wasn't it?

-It really was.

-Amazing stuff. Well played, guys.

Absolutely fantastic. Thanks once again to Shaun and Lucy, who go away with today's jackpot of £3,000.

Very well done.

-Join us next time to test more obscure knowledge. Meanwhile, goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

And goodbye from me. Goodbye.
