Music Pointless Celebrities

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

Welcome to a special music edition of Pointless Celebrities,

where the questions were asked to 100 people and we want the answers they couldn't think of.

Let's meet today's Pointless Celebrities.

And couple number one...

I'm Mike Rutherford from Genesis and Mike and The Mechanics.

And I'm Ali Campbell, formerly of UB40, now with the Dep Band.

And couple number two...

-Hi, I'm Sara from Bananarama.

-And I'm Keren from Bananarama for the last 30 years!

-Couple number three...

-I'm Sheila Ferguson, best known as lead singer for The Three Degrees. Forever.

-Me?

-Yes!

-I'm...em, Sandie Shaw.

And apparently I'm an icon, whatever that might be.

-And I've been around for 50 years.

-You don't have to go that far.

And, finally, couple number four...

-I'm Scott Robinson.

-And I'm Ritchie Neville. We're the bad boys of pop from the pop band Five.

Not that bad, really!

Brilliant! These are today's contestants! We'll find out more about you as we go along.

That just leaves one more person. He's like an answering machine.

-Leave a message after the beep. It's my Pointless friend, Richard.

-Hiya.

-Hi, everyone. Hiya.

-CHEERING

-How about that line-up?

-What about that? Incredible.

-They've sold 280 million records.

-Between everyone on this stage?

-280 million. Add in what we've sold and that is 280 million records.

-Our electro-pop duo from the '80s. Anodyne.

-We should release some stuff.

-We should!

-Some of the songs were great.

-You're a good singer. I'm a talented multi-instrumentalist.

-Let's do it!

-Shall we get on with it?

-Let's.

-I'm concerned about Round One

because it sounds quite confusing. It's not, but it sounds confusing.

Thank you, Richard. All our questions were put to 100 people.

Our contestants need the obscure answers they didn't get. A pointless answer is one that nobody gave.

Each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.

Each of our lovely celebrities is playing for a nominated charity, so we start with a massive £2,500.

Oh, yes.

If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

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

-Sandie, yes?

-What does conferring mean?

-No chit chat.

-No chit chat!

-You're on your own.

Whoever has the highest score will be heading home.

Our first category today is... the movies.

The movies. Can you all decide who is going to go first and second?

Whoever goes first, please step up to the podium.

OK, and our question concerns...

films with a colon in the title.

-Visceral films!

-I did tell you, didn't I?

-You did, sorry.

-We'll give you the names of seven films, but only the bit that comes after the colon.

We need the bit that comes before it. You'll work it out.

All of these films are name of film, colon, sub-name.

-We'll give you the bit after the colon.

-We need the bit before it in these film titles.

Here's our first board of seven.

HE READS THE LIST

I'm going to read that board again.

So we want the names of those blanks. Whatever's missing. Now, Ali and Mike, you all drew lots.

Today you are going to go first.

-Ali, a massive welcome to Pointless. It's great to have you here.

-Thanks.

UB40, I'd say not just a band loved around the world. A band revered around the world.

I imagine there's always a UB40 song playing on a radio somewhere.

-Possibly.

-Fantastic. You wound it up a few years ago.

-Two thousand and...

-I started the band back in 1980.

-Blimey.

-And I left in 2006.

-Do you miss them all?

-No, I've got a new band now called the Dep Band.

-And you're recording?

-Currently recording

-at Mickie Most's studio.

-What about this board of films?

-What do you make of that?

-I'm horrified.

-Chipmunk: The Squeakquel.

-Chipmunk: The Squeakquel, says Ali.

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

Oh, bad luck!

I'm afraid an incorrect answer, Ali. Scores you 100 points. Good start(!)

Terrific start. It's going very well.

-We could do a whole show with 100s.

-It's happened many times before.

It's not going to happen. Look at Keren.

-She knows what she's doing.

-Now, Keren, welcome to Pointless.

-Thank you very much.

-How long have you and Sara known each other?

-Since we were four.

-Did you sing together all that time?

-We sang quite a lot together at school.

And at home as well. Just for ourselves.

-And then started Bananarama when?

-Straight out of school.

I remember the first hit with Fun Boy Three. Now this board of films.

-Does that alarm you?

-I'm actually useless at films, but I do know several of them.

-I think.

-Good. Well, the lowest-scoring one.

I'm going to try Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.

Anchorman, says Keren. Is that right? How many of our 100 people said that?

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

27.

27 for Anchorman.

-Well played. Starring Will Ferrell, of course.

-Now, Sheila...

-Yeah!

-Welcome to Pointless.

-Oh, thank you.

-You sang at Prince Charles's 30th birthday.

-Yes, we did indeed.

-How was that?

-Very salacious.

-Do you remember it all?

Every single minute. Walking into Buckingham Palace with Prince Charles on your arm,

it's like the parting of the Red Sea. It doesn't get better. Amazing.

-How long have you lived in England?

-30 years.

-30 years.

-Do you consider yourself English these days?

-I'm pretty worldly.

-You come over pretty worldly.

-I think I do, too.

-Sheila, what do you make of this?

-It was nice knowing y'all. Have a good night.

OK, I think I know two, but I've got to go with the lowest that the audience voted for.

I think one is pretty obvious, so I'll go with the obscure and think...

Robinson Crusoe: The Curse of the Black Pearl?

Robinson Crusoe, says Sheila. Let's see if it's right

and how many of our 100 people said Robinson Crusoe.

-I can't believe you said that!

-Not Robinson Crusoe! The pirate!

-We have to take it.

-It was nice knowing you.

-Let's see if it's right.

Oh, I'm sorry, Sheila!

-I am so sorry.

-I meant Johnny Depp guy!

No, don't say it. The others might want to answer that one.

-I'm really sorry.

-Me, too.

-That's 100 points.

Sandie made a brilliant noise the moment you said Robinson Crusoe.

Can everybody focus? Everybody focus. Everybody be like Keren.

Let's just do that and we'll get through the whole round with lovely scores. That's the way to play.

-Scott, welcome to the show. Five, back together again!

-Yes.

-Is that nice? Nice to be back?

-Was it last year?

-We got back for the big reunion show we just finished. And that's been a year.

-We're finally back together now and enjoying every minute.

-So whose idea was it?

It was just the right time. We'd talked about it and tried it

-and then it was just the right time.

-Everyone was mentally and physically ready.

Scott, you're the last to go. Do you fancy talking us through it?

I know two. I think the first one is actually Robin Hood: Men In Tights,

but I'm going to go...

-You all right, Ritchie?

-That one!

-No, I should go for the last one. I'm not saying yet,

but it's Pirates of the Caribbean.

I'm going to go with Robin Hood: Men In Tights.

-LAUGHTER

-Good answer.

-I hope it's right now!

-Although the last one is definitely right.

OK, Robin Hood: Men In Tights. Is that right? Was Ritchie right to make you go for it?

It IS right.

27 is our best score. 52 for that.

-Yeah!

-52 for Robin Hood: Men In Tights. Richard...

Well played, Scott. The Mel Brooks film.

You're right about Pirates of the Caribbean. Big scorer.

67 points for that.

Ali, you were unlucky. It's Alvin and the Chipmunks.

24 points that would have scored.

It is X-Men: First Class. That would have scored 11.

It is Ferngully: The Last Rainforest. Five points for that.

And Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. 14 points. So the best answer up there is Ferngully.

Thanks, Richard. Let's look at those scores. 27 - well done. You and Sara looking pretty strong.

Then up to 52, Scott and Ritchie.

Then 100, Sheila, Sandie, Ali and Mike. So between Sandie and Mike in the next pass

to see who stays with us. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

OK, seven more film titles and here they come.

HE READS THE LIST

I will read all of those again.

We are looking for the words in front of the colon.

Ritchie, you want the lowest-scoring one.

-Hmm.

-Now when did Five actually disband, first time round?

-2001, wasn't it?

-I was worried you'd say that. So 12 years ago.

-I can't believe it, yeah.

-How old are we?

-We filmed in Sheffield and you'd been the night before.

-And it was a tip!

-You should see my room!

-Backstage, it was beautiful,

but in front there were banners... The things these people would write, I couldn't bring them up here.

-You couldn't. Very true.

-Unbelievable.

They were in tatters. Anyway, that's another time.

Now is this a good round for you?

Not with that there, to be honest. Ah, OK. I'm going to go with...

-It's risky.

-Go for it, mate.

But A Space Odyssey, 2001.

Oh...!

2001: A Space Odyssey, says Ritchie. The high scorers are on 100.

You're on 52. 47 or less means you avoid becoming the new high scorers.

How many people said 2001: A Space Odyssey?

-It's right!

-Yes!

-Well done.

And you are through to the next round. 33.

Takes your total up to 85.

Nicely done, Ritchie.

Well played, Ritchie. Very good.

Thank you, Richard. Now, Sandie...

You've waited so patiently and quietly until now.

-He took the only one I knew!

-Really?

-Sorry, Sandie!

What I want to know, Sandie, you were known as the barefoot pop princess of the '60s.

-You're in shoes for us tonight.

-You start off as a princess, then you become a queen and get shoes.

It goes that way.

-Enough of this. What about this board? Any others you know?

-Yes, but it's such an obvious one.

Really?! Well, go with it, baby! We're out of here anyway!

It's going to be huge and I don't want to go. I got this frock specially for today!

-Aww. It's a lovely frock.

-Oh!

-Good job you didn't wear your one like that tonight.

-I so nearly did.

-Shall I say my answer?

-Why not?

-It's Bridget Jones.

-For which one?

-Edge of Reason! Don't be silly!

Bridget Jones, says Sandie. Is that right?

No red line for you as joint high scorers.

It's right.

46. Very well done, Sandie. Lovely score. 146 is your total.

-Have you won?

-Not a bad answer at all.

-We want to know who's winning.

-Well...

-Did they win?

-You've got the highest score.

Ali and Mike have still got to answer.

-Sara, welcome. Lovely to have you here.

-Thanks.

-Ahh, goodness gracious me. You've started recording your new album.

-We're going a little country,

a little bit pop. We want to record in Nashville.

-That's our goal.

-Oh, can I come?

-Yeah.

-Sara, what are you going to go for?

-I'm hoping the last one. I can't see it from here. Cultural Learnings...

Is it Borat?

Borat, says Sara. Now you're already through, even if you score 100.

-Result!

-So no red line for you. Borat, is that right?

-Absolutely right.

-Well done.

27.

Well done!

-Takes your total up to 54.

-Well played. Exactly the same score as Keren. 27 each.

Directed by Larry Charles, who does lots of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Now, Mike... Welcome to Pointless.

-A founder member of Genesis.

-Since school, yeah.

Since school. Now hang on. Who's your favourite - Phil or Peter?

-Just us, go on. Phil or Peter?

-They're now both the same size with no hair and both wear glasses.

-It's hard to tell the difference.

-Both the same.

-Very diplomatic. Very good indeed.

And also you have sold over 150 million albums.

-That is staggering.

-APPLAUSE

That is an unreal, unimaginable quantity.

If you keep going long enough, keep going, stay in the band, then it all kind of adds up.

Brilliant. Now then, that board is all yours. You are on 100.

The high scorers are Sandie and Sheila on 146. If you can score 45 or less, you're still with us.

I knew a couple of those. The only one I know that's left is not going to be low. Lord of the Rings.

-Fellowship of the Ring.

-Fellowship of the Ring, says Mike. Here is your red line.

Get below that, you stay with us. How many said Lord of the Rings?

-It's right.

-SHEILA: Stop! Stop!

-Yes! Yes!

-Oh, bad luck, Mike.

67 that scores. 167 is your total.

I don't remember Sandie Shaw like this at the Eurovision Song Contest.

Good answer, but a high score. It'd be nice if Mike and the Mechanics could fix Florence and the Machine.

-What's wrong with Florence and the Machine?

-If they break up.

-Oh, I see.

-Let's see if you knew any of these other ones.

The top one is Night At The Museum. Would have scored 14 points.

This next one down...

-Dr Strangelove.

-Oh, I see.

-Would have scored you 11 points.

And the bottom one there is Master And Commander, the Russell Crowe film.

-Five points. The best answer.

-Thanks very much.

So I'm afraid the pair leaving us with a high score of 167 is Mike and Ali. I'm so sorry.

It's been just brilliant to have you here.

I mean, really.

Bringing real class to Pointless. I'm sorry we have to dismiss you so soon. Thank you so much.

Mike and Ali, fantastic.

But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for our second round.

Now there's only room for two pairs in our Head to Head, so another pair goes after this round.

Keren and Sara, you've known each other since you were four.

-And you got identical scores. 27.

-I know!

-That's what comes.

-We say the same things all the time.

One brain between us.

Sandie, your frock rides again for another round at least.

-You pulled it out of the bag there.

-She did.

-Very well done.

-And Scott and Ritchie, nothing wrong with that.

-We're very surprised.

Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category is...London 2012.

London 2012. Can you decide who's going first and who's going second?

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

OK, let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds

to name as many London 2012 Team GB female medallists as they could.

Female medallists from London 2012.

Any female member of Team GB who won any sort of medal at the London Olympics.

Gold, silver or bronze in 2012, whether individual or a team event.

Any female athlete from GB. Very best of luck and good luck at home. There's plenty of names.

-Keren...

-Victoria Pendleton.

-Victoria Pendleton, says Keren.

-Kind of obvious, but...

-Let's see.

It may be the best answer of the round. Victoria Pendleton.

Is it right? How many said it?

It's right.

36.

36 for Victoria Pendleton.

Well played. She won two golds in women's cycling.

Sandie...2012. Where were you when the Olympics of 2012 were in London?

-I was in the rainforest.

-Which rainforest?

-In Brazil.

-Did you have a transistor to keep up?

No, just the sounds of insects and...monkeys.

-And more insects.

-Those monkeys get everywhere.

Don't they?

-So I have no idea. I'll have to stand down.

-Just think of a name.

We'll have to have an answer, but there's no shame in not... You were doing something worthy.

-Did that swimmer, the blonde one, win something?

-The blonde one, says Sandie.

-No, I have to have a name.

-She's a lovely lady.

She has blonde hair, very straight. A great ambassador for Britain, but I don't know... She swims.

-We have to have a name, Sandie.

-I don't know.

-Make a name up.

-Anne Smith.

-Anne Smith.

-OK, let's find out. Anne Smith.

-Shuddup!

-Did she win a medal, though, in 2012? Let's find out. Anne Smith.

Oh!

-I'm sorry, Sandie.

-I'm gutted.

-Anne Smith, an incorrect answer. Scores you the maximum 100 points.

-Really sorry, Sandie. Anne Smith came fourth in the pistol shooting.

-LAUGHTER

-Scott...

-Yes.

-Scott, now...

I think you'll be good at this.

Em...no. I've got a name, but I'm really worried that I'm going to say it wrong.

- How can you not beat 100?! - But if I say the name wrong, I get 100 points.

-Mm-hm.

-I'm going to say Jennifer Ellis.

Jennifer Ellis. OK, Jennifer Ellis, says Scott.

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

Oh, bad luck, Scott.

-I'm afraid it's another incorrect answer.

-Brilliant!

-It scores you 100 points.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry, too. I don't know why we're here. We shouldn't be here.

-I'm sorry, Scott. You really said that name wrong, so I can't...

-What was it?

I'll tell you at the end. Ritchie probably knows.

Let's look at those scores. 36, best score.

-Keren and Sara looking very strong once again.

-You're going to win!

Then Scott and Ritchie, Sandie and Sheila, tied on 100. Ritchie and Sheila, it's between you

to decide who's going to stay. Can the second players please take their place at the podium?

OK, now, Ritchie, we are looking for any woman

competing for Team GB who won a medal at the 2012 Olympic Games.

-Come on, Ritchie, don't sigh!

-I was also out of the country. I was residing in Sydney, Australia.

-So I got a lot of stick for being a Pom.

-You were a mixologist.

-Didn't you run a bar?

-Not even a connoisseur, really.

-Just a cocktail shaker.

-I opened a bar in Sydney. So I've got to pick a female?

The question remains broadly the same. In fact, exactly the same.

We're in trouble, mate.

Somebody...like... I don't know. Lisa...

What sounds like an athlete's name?

Lisa...

-Brown.

-LAUGHTER

-I know!

-Lisa Brown.

You are joint high scorers, so no red line.

How many people said Lisa Brown?

-Oh, bad luck!

-Really(?)

-Bad luck.

-I can't believe it!

-Another incorrect answer, scores you 200.

-I can see where this is going.

-A, it's going terrifically well.

-Yes.

LAUGHTER

-B, it's heading towards a tie break.

-Yes.

-Between podiums two and three.

Right enough. Sheila, something amazing could happen here. Save us from tie-break hell.

No, I cannot in this category. I could tell you what they wore, not their names.

Leave the 100 up there and I'll say Gail...Robinson.

-For lack of a better name.

-Gail Robinson, says Sheila. You have a red line. 99 or less.

-It has to be right.

-Yeah.

-A small matter.

-There is that.

Let's see. Gail Robinson. It's a name. Let's see how many people said it.

-Oh, bad luck!

-At least I clocked it.

-Oh, Sheila!

-I know.

-200 is your total.

-You let me down!

-I know!

-Richard?

-Sorry, Sheila. No Gail Robinson. Wasn't she married to Paul Robinson in Neighbours?

She was quite athletic as well.

In another universe... Both teams have to have another guess.

They're allowed to confer, like that's going to help!

You've got to change the question!

Can we briefly return to the oasis of calm that is Bananarama, then we'll deal with the rest of you?

-Well, excuse me!

-Sara, you are through to the next round. Sadly, not soon enough.

There you are. And also you'll have a great answer.

-The swimmer I think is Rebecca Adlington.

-Rebecca Adlington.

There's no red line for you. Rebecca Adlington. Is it right? How many said it?

There we are. A right answer.

Nice to hear the old music again.

19! Very well done indeed! Takes your total up to 55.

Well played, Sara. She won two bronzes and retired after the games.

As it's a tie, we'll ask you one more time each...

This isn't going to work at all. They don't know a thing.

-They don't know anything.

-Nothing.

-I've got plans for Christmas!

LAUGHTER

-It could be 8,000 all.

-Yeah.

-Until someone lands...

-Do you know any names at all?

-No. I could tell you a name.

-I'll go and get... I've never done it before.

-You're going to leave the seat! Never done it, except to play darts.

-This is what you've made me do.

-Oh, I'm so sorry.

-I'll get another question. Keep everybody talking.

I will do. Very good. Well done.

So this is going to be... I'll tell you what's going to happen.

We'll give you a new category. I'll take your answers, put it to the test.

The highest scorer walks.

-That was quick. So what is it?

-OK.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many capital cities in the southern hemisphere as they can.

Any capital city in the southern hemisphere. Country is a sovereign state that is a member of the UN.

So any capital city of a country that's in the southern hemisphere.

-Sandie and Sheila, you go first.

-Rio de Janeiro?

-I thought that! Rio de Janeiro.

-Rio de Janeiro for Sheila and Sandie.

Ritchie and Scott, what are you going to go for?

-OK.

-OK?

-Canberra.

-So we have Rio de Janeiro and we have Canberra.

Sheila and Sandie went with Rio de Janeiro. Is that right?

Oh!

-What?!

-Yeah.

-Fair enough.

-Bad luck. I'm afraid an incorrect answer.

-Why?

-Not a capital city.

-It isn't?!

-Lovely city, not a capital.

-What is it, then?

-Brasilia.

No! I spent all that money to go to Rio for nothing?!

-Well, not exactly for nothing.

-Ritchie and Scott, you merely have to be correct and you're through.

Is Canberra right? How many people said it?

It's right! Well done!

There we go. 34.

234 is your total. You are through to the Head to Head. Very well done indeed.

-Richard, do you remember the Olympics round?

-Very well, yeah.

Scott was very unlucky with Jennifer Ellis. It's Jessica Ennis.

Would have scored you 54 points, which is a lot, but in the context of this round is nothing.

Absolutely nothing at all. There's a bunch of pointless answers.

Some people at home will have done well. You could have had Gemma Gibbons, who won judo silver.

Hannah Mills won in the sailing. Bronze for judo for Karina Bryant. All were pointless.

Katherine Copeland for rowing, Laura Robson got silver with Andy Murray.

Mary King won on the equestrian team, as did Nicola Wilson.

Samantha Murray, modern pentathlon, or Sophie Hosking in a rowing pair.

Well done if you said any of those. Let's look at the top three.

Rebecca Adlington, 19, Victoria Pendleton, 36, and Jessica Ennis, 54.

-Nicola Adams would have scored 13, the boxer. Good answer as well.

-Thanks very much.

At the end of our second round, we have to say goodbye to Sheila and Sandie.

I'm so sorry. It's been wonderful. Thank you for livening up Pointless.

Fantastic. You've done so well. A lovely high score of 300.

-Brilliant. Sheila and Sandie!

-Thank you.

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

Congratulations, Keren and Sara, Ritchie and Scott. You are one step closer to playing for our jackpot,

which currently stands at £2,500. There we are.

Now we have to decide who plays for that, so you now go head to head. But the big difference is

you're now allowed to confer. That makes a massive difference!

-Can we ask them?

-No, it does. First to win two questions goes through.

-Now, Keren and Sara, very well done. You've played exemplarily.

-Thank you.

Our low scorers in every single round. Ritchie and Scott, not bad.

Very solid in the first round. If you get a round you don't know, you just have to make stuff up.

Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the Head to Head.

OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...David Bowie singles.

We'll show you five visual clues that give you the title of David Bowie Top 40 singles.

-Can you tell us what they are?

-Thanks. Let's reveal our five David Bowie single clues.

Here they are.

There we are. Five David Bowie singles. Keren and Sara, you get to go first.

-Are we going to go C?

-We'll go C.

-OK. And which is that?

-Loving the Alien.

-Loving the Alien, say Keren and Sara.

-Ritchie and Scott, can you talk us through them?

-I have the greatest hits album, but I'm stumped.

I'm thinking that A isn't Diamond Dog, is it?

Or Diamond Puppy. I think we have to go with D, mate.

-Yeah, go on then.

-D, Starman.

D, Starman. So we have Loving the Alien and Starman. Keren and Sara said Loving the Alien.

How many people said it?

Absolutely. Cracking song.

Look at that! Four!

That is a great answer. Very well done, Keren and Sara.

Ritchie and Scott have gone for Starman, D. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.

It's right.

70. High score, but it was right.

-Very well done, Keren and Sara. That was a great answer. You are up one-nil.

-Well played.

It was the best answer up there.

-It's a great song.

-It is.

-From the Tonight album.

A is not Diamond Dog. That would be ridiculous. It's Diamond Dogs.

It would have scored you 46 points.

B is Cat People. That would have scored you 12 points.

-They really were good clues.

-And E... Yeah! E is The Laughing Gnome.

-That would have scored you 24.

-That's a filthy gnome, Richard.

I know, right. Also, needs a wash.

LAUGHTER

Thanks very much indeed. OK, here comes your second question. Ritchie and Scott have to win it.

It concerns... Dr Seuss books.

-Know them well.

-We'll give you the titles of five Dr Seuss books, but we've missed out one word.

Can you give us that missing word?

OK, let's reveal our five Dr Seuss books with missing words. And here they are. We have got...

HE READS THE LIST

I'll read those all one last time.

Ritchie and Scott, you go first.

-OK, I'm with you on that. Let's try it.

-I don't know.

But I think it might be There's A Wocket In My Pocket.

Sounds perfectly good to me. There's A Wocket In My Pocket.

So, Keren and Sara, do you fancy talking us through the board?

-We'll just say Fox In Box.

-Fox In Box. OK, Fox In Box.

So There's A Wocket In My Pocket and Fox In Box.

Ritchie and Scott say There's A Wocket In My Pocket. Is that right?

It's right.

-45.

-It's right!

45. Now then... Keren and Sara have taken a punt with Fox In Box,

taking this rhyming thing. Right, Fox In Box, is that right? How many people said it?

-No!

-It's Socks, isn't it?

-It's not Fox In Box.

Well done, Ritchie and Scott, you're back in the game. One-all.

-Not Fox In Box. You just got it.

-Socks.

-Fox In Socks.

You'd have been through to the final. 20 points.

The next one's a rhymer as well. That is Hop On Pop. 14 points.

This next one was a film with Jim Carrey. It's really good for kids. Horton Hears a Who.

Would have scored 48 points.

And I can't believe no one went for Thidwick The Big-Hearted Moose.

That would have scored eight points. Well done if you said that one.

So it comes down to a third question. Whoever wins this plays for that jackpot.

Best of luck, both pairs. It concerns...Strictly Come Dancing.

-Oh, no!

-Oh, no.

-Richard.

We'll give you five clues to facts about Strictly Come Dancing. Give us the most obscure answer.

Let's reveal our five clues. We have got...

HE READS THE LIST

I'll read those all one last time.

There we go. Five clues to facts about Strictly Come Dancing. Keren and Sara, you go first.

-I don't know whether to go obvious or have a punt.

-That's what I'm saying.

-Is the female professional Erin Boag?

-Erin Boag you are saying. Erin Boag.

-Ritchie and Scott, you can talk us through the board.

-No, we're fine, thanks, mate.

So, yeah, we basically don't really know.

We're hoping that they have got it wrong, so we'll go for the most obvious answer.

-Brucie and his bonuses.

-Bruce Forsyth.

Bruce Forsyth, the male lead presenter.

We have Erin Boag and Bruce Forsyth. Keren and Sara went Erin Boag. Is that right? How many said it?

-It's right!

-Yes!

It's right. Very well done indeed.

Oh, look at that. A low score.

Three! Very well done indeed!

Fantastic score.

Oh, dear. Ritchie and Scott, you were hoping that was wrong.

-Not only is it not wrong, it scored only three. You've gone for Bruce Forsyth.

-That'll be lower.

Bruce Forsyth. How many said that? Is it right?

Of course it's right.

73!

Very, very well done, Keren and Sara.

You played so well throughout and you go through to the final, two-one.

Once again, you gave us the best answer on the board.

Let's do the rest of these. The title of its BBC2 sister show is It Takes Two. That scored 14.

The first make celebrity to win was Darren Gough. A good answer - six points.

And the ballet dancer is Darcey Bussell. She would have scored you 35.

-Erin Boag was the best answer.

-Thanks. So the pair leaving us is Ritchie and Scott.

But you have done so well. We'll draw a veil over Round Two.

-That aside, it's been lovely. Ritchie and Scott!

-Thank you.

But for Keren and Sara it's now time for our Pointless final!

Congratulations, Keren and Sara. You've seen off all the competition

-and won our coveted Pointless trophy.

-Excellent.

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot, which stands at £2,500.

You've done so well. You've cruised through the show.

-Lowest scorers every round. How are you feeling?

-No one had faith in us.

-It's my dad's favourite programme.

-He'll be watching?

-He's getting the trophy.

OK, now then, you choose a category. As always, you have four options.

Here they are.

-Certainly not the top two.

-Shall we give France a whirl?

-Give France a whirl.

-Nothing to lose now.

-France.

-Now, France, Richard.

-We've got three very different questions. Hopefully something will suit you.

Can you give us any of the following?

HE READS THEM OUT

Good luck in the studio and at home as well. Best of luck whichever one you do.

Thanks. You have up to one minute to come up with three answers.

To win that jackpot for your chosen charities, you need one pointless answer.

The answers can come from any of these categories. One from each, all three from one...

I don't know any of the top ones. Or the bottom.

I'd go for the middle one, then!

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are. Your time starts now.

Cote d'Ivoire. Senegal.

Senegal.

-Algeria?

-Yes.

-Is that French? There must be somewhere small.

-Guinea-Bissau.

-We could try it!

-Let's try it.

-Just for a laugh?

-What else is down that side?

-Gabon?

-Do they speak French?

-Sounds French!

-Whether they speak it...!

-That's near...

-Guinea-Bissau.

-That's near the Ivory Coast.

-Yeah.

-That could be one.

-Which one?

-Can we go yet?

-It sounds French. So what are we going for?

-Guinea-Bissau.

-Ivory Coast. Everyone will get that one.

-Yeah.

-We could try Gabon.

-Around there...

-Senegal.

10 seconds left.

-Is it French in Senegal?

-No idea.

-Shall we say Senegal? Ivory Coast...

-And Guinea-Bissau? Try that?

-OK, that's your time up. I now need your three answers.

-What'll you say?

-Guinea-Bissau.

-Guinea-Bissau.

-For a laugh.

-Ivory Coast?

-Yeah.

-Cote d'Ivoire. Must be.

-OK. Cote d'Ivoire, we'll say.

-Shall we try Gabon? Gabon.

-And Gabon.

-We don't know.

They sound good to me. Which is your best shot?

-Let's put...

-Guinea-Bissau.

-We'll put that last.

-Which is your least likely?

-Gabon's probably wrong.

-Put it first?

-Yes.

Let's put them up in that order. Here they are.

-Three very plausible answers, I'd say. I think they're great.

-Thank you.

-Very best of luck.

Your first answer was Gabon. You thought it was least likely. I think it's great.

If this is correct and it is pointless, it will win that jackpot. What charities are you playing for?

-I'm playing for Children's Hospice Southwest.

-Very good. Sara?

-NSPCC.

-Brilliant. Two fantastic charities.

-APPLAUSE

Let's hope one of these three answers will win that jackpot.

Your first answer is Gabon. Let us find out if it is a Francophone country in Africa?

It is!

-Gabon. A correct answer.

-There's a turn up for the books.

If this goes down to zero, you leave with that £2,500.

It's still going down...

Oh, one!

Oh, man! No!

One!

-That's not fair.

-That is a brilliant answer.

-A really good answer. Sadly, it's not pointless.

-No.

-It's fine. You have two more.

Your next answer is Cote d'Ivoire. Let's find out if that's right.

If it's pointless, you win. For £2,500, is Cote d'Ivoire a Francophone country?

It is.

So your first answer, Gabon, correct and brilliant, took you down to one.

Cote d'Ivoire, taking you down...

Oh, 24!

Guinea-Bissau, come on!

To be fair to Cote d'Ivoire, there's more of a clue in the name.

-I just wanted to get one right.

-You've got two out of two. This is very good.

Your third answer, the one you thought was your best shot

was Guinea-Bissau.

-think it's right?

-No!

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

It should be. Let's find out. If it's right and pointless, you win the jackpot.

Is Guinea-Bissau French-speaking? How many people said it?

Oh, no!

At the last hurdle!

-I am so sorry. Two brilliant answers.

-Who said Gabon?!

You didn't find that all-important pointless answer, so you don't win the £2,500.

However, as it is a celebrity special, we'll donate £500 to each celebrity pair's charities.

We've loved having you on the show. You've done so well. Very well done.

Yeah, terrific answers and Guinea-Bissau was worth the risk. They speak Portuguese.

There's another couple of Guineas. Guinea itself scored two points.

Equatorial Guinea, where French is an official language, would have been a pointless answer as well.

If your dad watches Pointless, he'll know the first rule - say Central African Republic.

If you had, you'd have won. That was a pointless answer. Let's look at some others.

Some people will have answered the other categories. Les Miserables.

Babet, Bamatabois, Father Mabeuf and Prouvaire. All of those pointless.

Let's look at some more African countries.

Central African Republic, Djibouti was pointless,

Equatorial Guinea, Rwanda. Those were all the pointless answers.

And the French World Cup squad.

All of these were pointless. Alain Boghossian, Bernard Lama, the goalie,

Lionel Charbonnier, Youri Djorkaeff was a pointless answer.

You could also have had Stephane Guivarc'h or Vincent Candela. Very well done if you said those.

Really unlucky, but you sailed through those first few rounds, so thank you for that.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye, but we loved having you. You've been absolutely fantastic.

-Keren and Sara!

-Thank you.

-Join us next time when we put more obscure knowledge to the test. Goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

And goodbye from me. Goodbye.
