Mixed Bag 2 Pointless Celebrities

APPLAUSE

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

and welcome to this special edition of Pointless Celebrities,

the quiz where the aim of the game is to find the most obscure answers possible.

Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities.

And couple number one.

Hello, my name is Todd Carty and this is my third time on Pointless.

Ooh. My name is Bonnie Langford.

This is my second time on Pointless.

Couple number two.

Hello. Jon Culshaw. I am a comedian, impersonator,

and amateur astronomer from time to time.

I'm Debra Stephenson. I'm an actress, impressionist

and mum! Hello, kids!

Couple number three.

My partner is the gorgeous Mark Watson, who happens to be

an author and the next big thing in comedy, I'll have you know, people.

Thanks. We...

What are you going to say about me?

I think they normally wait to applaud

-till both people have introduced themselves.

-Sorry.

Yvette Fielding - what is there to say?

I don't know.

Um...

TV presenter, actor,

ghost-hunter and has just opened a tearoom in Manchester Cathedral.

And finally, couple number four.

I'm Kate Garraway and I'm a presenter.

I've got nothing else!

I've got...

A memory, almost.

I'm Anton du Beke

and I am a dancer.

Ohh...

And these are today's contestants.

Thanks very much, all of you. We'll find out about you

as the show goes along. That leaves one more person for me to introduce.

Hannibal Lecter was a genius, a wine enthusiast and violent cannibal.

The only thing this man does not have in common with him

is he's more of a real ale man. It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.

Hiya. Hi, everybody.

Hi, everyone.

-Good evening to you.

-And to you.

-This is a nice line-up, isn't it?

-Isn't it!

Normally, we get quite shy, Xander and I, when we have new people on.

Almost everyone here has been on before, which is lovely.

It's one of the nice things about this show.

On our regular shows, people come back twice,

and on our celebrity shows, people do as well.

We have people who have done incredibly well on the show.

Jon Culshaw won the jackpot before. No-one's ever won it twice.

That'd be quite something to do.

Todd and Bonnie came on the show together and got to the final.

Didn't win the jackpot, so hopefully put that right this time.

On our last podium, we have Kate and Anton.

-Kate, you've been in a final.

-Yeah.

Yvette, also in a second round. And our one newcomer, Mark,

amongst all of these prof... The rookie, the Cinderella story.

-Yeah.

-If you were to win, it'd be one of the all-time great sporting triumphs.

It'd be one of the all-time moments of TV history.

The worrying thing for our team is that I am the rookie

but Yvette keeps saying, "I don't know what's going on."

Between us, we should be unstoppable.

If you think for one second that anyone on any of these podiums

has any idea what's going on, you are very much mistaken.

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

Now, all our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people.

Our contestants here must find the obscure answers

those 100 people didn't get.

Everyone is trying to find a pointless answer,

an answer than none of our 100 people gave,

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

As today's show is a celebrity special,

and all our celebrities are playing for a nominated charity,

we start off with a jackpot of...

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

So all you have to remember is that the pair with the highest score

at the end of each round will be eliminated.

Your job is to make sure that you're not in that pair.

OK. Our first category today is...

Surnames. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

who's going to go second?

-You should go first.

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

OK. And the question concerns...

Famous Moores. Richard.

On each pass, we're going to give you seven clues to famous people

whose surname is Moore. You have to give us the most obscure answer.

There are 14 to have a go at at home. Very best of luck.

OK. So we are looking for these famous people whose surname is Moore

and here is our first board of seven clues. We have...

I will read those all one last time.

Bonnie, welcome back to Pointless.

-Thank you.

-It's lovely to have you here.

Now, Bonnie, you have been in show business almost from the cradle.

Yes. 20 years(!)

LAUGHTER

-And the rest!

-Yeah.

So, of all the things you've done -

the singing, the acting, the dancing -

is there one discipline you favour over the others?

No, not at all. I just like to work, really,

and I love the idea of doing new things all the time,

because no matter what you train for,

you're always asked to do something you can't do.

-Is there a role you have your eye on?

-I don't know about that.

I never try and keep an eye on roles because that can go a bit wrong,

but the fact that you never know quite what's round the corner,

-including this.

-Yeah, exactly!

Exactly. Talking of strange things round the corner,

-what about all these Moores here?

-Right.

I wish I knew all of them, and I don't,

I'm actually sort of toying between a few of them,

but I think I'm just going to go for the English sculptor

born in 1898 who was particularly famous for his abstract stone

and bronze figures.

-Sir Henry Moore.

-Sir Henry Moore, says Bonnie.

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

There we are, absolutely right.

Wow. Nice low score there. 18. Well done, Bonnie.

Gets the ball rolling beautifully at the start of the show.

Well played, Bonnie. Funnily enough, he's not SIR Henry Moore.

He turned down the knighthood, so he's just Henry Moore.

Thank you. Debra, welcome back to Pointless.

Now, you've done some straight acting,

you've done Bad Girls, of course, then a stretch on Corrie.

Now you do your impressions.

When you're dividing up your impressions, you and Jon,

I know it sounds like a silly question, but is it always obvious

who's going to take which one? Do you do any males?

I have been known to be Richard Hammond before,

which was a bit frightening cos I ended up looking like my husband.

Very frightening for him!

That's a whole new avenue to explore at another date.

Yeah, a bit dodgy. But other than that...

We did once argue about which of us was going to be Ann Widdecombe.

-That's right.

-Who won out on that?

-I did.

OK, now, Debra, what are you going to go for, of our Moores?

I'm just going to go for question number...whatever it is,

-the one at the bottom.

-The very bottom one?

-Yeah.

-And Demi Moore.

-Demi Moore. Demi Moore, says Debra.

Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 said Demi Moore.

-Oh!

-Oh, I'm afraid not Demi Moore.

Oh, I really thought it was.

-I'm afraid that scores you 100 points, Debra.

-Sorry, Debra.

When you said you only knew two of them, actually,

you only knew one of them!

-Maybe.

-Yeah, even that is... We'll find out.

Yeah. Thanks very much indeed.

Now, Mark, welcome to Pointless. The only newcomer today.

Yeah. It's... It's really exciting.

-Yeah. A bit nervous?

-Oh, very nervous.

You can't be nervous. You can't be any more nervous...

-Mark did a 25-hour-long stand-up routine.

-DEBRA:

-No!

-That's true.

-When did you do that?

Last year, for Comic Relief.

-How did that go?

-Quite badly.

It was actually fine

because, in a way, it's less risky than doing a one-hour-long show

because there, things really can go quite wrong

if people don't like your jokes.

Over 25 hours, you grind the audience down into submission

and after about 15 hours, they've forgotten whether it's funny or not,

they're just grateful to still be in a warm room!

So, Mark, the Moores are up there.

-Which is the lowest-scoring one you know?

-The trouble is,

there are two that I definitely know

but they wouldn't be very good.

Then there's one which would be a good one,

except I'm not sure if it's right.

I hope I'm right about this, otherwise it'd be terrible.

That thing where the cross came up really chilled my blood.

I... I think that the writer of the graphic novels

V For Vendetta, Batman and Watchmen is Alan Moore.

Alan Moore, says Mark. Alan Moore.

Let's find out if that punt has paid off.

How many people said Alan Moore? Is it right?

It IS right, very well done indeed, Mark.

18 is our low score so far.

You fly past that. 9 for Alan Moore. Very well done.

-Good answer, Mark.

-Brilliant.

Well played, Mark. You've taken to this very nicely indeed.

The wait for that thing to change

was among the most nerve-racking moments of my life so far.

You did very well.

Also writes under the pennames Kurt Vile and Translucia Baboon.

I always thought Translucia Baboon was you.

No, Translucia Baboon is Alan Moore.

Good Lord! Thanks very much.

-Anton, welcome back.

-Thank you.

Welcome back. Now, you've been on Strictly since the very beginning.

And, um, I think the best you've done is third.

I'm just saying, I'm just saying.

-That's OK. Third's not bad.

-I don't want your pity, I want your votes.

I did that in the very first year with Lesley Garrett, of course,

-but there were only eight of us in it, so it's...

-That's OK.

Of course, I danced with the gorgeous Kate

who was, I always thought, misunderstood and under-marked.

Or just rubbish.

-But we didn't do badly, did we?

-No.

-We struggled through to about halfway, didn't we?

-Yeah.

-No, it was good, thanks to a lot of sympathy votes.

-Sympathy votes.

Do you have any hand at all in who you're going to be partnered with?

With all due respect to all of all of my remarkably talented

and unique partners, I would be the worst chooser

of a partner, if that were the case.

Would you go for someone who would be really good fun

or would you go for somebody who was likely to win?

Do you know... Oh, yeah(!)

Yeah, cos I'll get the second option all the time(!)

-I really...

-Careful!

..enjoyed my time with Kate,

and before I danced with Kate, I really wanted to win.

-And I realised that that was just...

-But failing's lovely.

Coming second isn't bad.

Or even ninth is good.

Now, Anton, here's fun.

This board is all yours.

Do you fancy talking us through it and filling in the blanks?

I think the top one we're all pretty familiar with,

so we shouldn't choose that, which was Roger Moore.

The Irish poet I think we're all really familiar with,

that would be an easy one, so I'm not going to tell you what that is.

You don't know, do you?!

Obviously, Bobby Moore, the World Cup-winning fella.

-I think the bottom one there was Julianne Moore perhaps.

-Yeah.

But the one I was going to opt for...

I could make myself look stupid here.

-I was going to go for the Northern Irish guitarist.

-Yeah.

I don't know if I should take such a punt, really,

but I'll go for it.

-Gary Moore.

-Gary Moore?

Let's see how many people said that.

It's right.

Wow.

21 for Gary Moore!

Not bad at all, Anton.

-Not bad.

-Not bad. Very good.

-Very well played, Anton.

Congratulations, going for a punt. It's the right thing to do.

Funnily enough, you're right about Julianne Moore,

but she would have been a lower scorer than Gary Moore - 19.

Didn't do too much damage

but, as you suspected,

the other two were very, very big scorers.

Roger Moore would have scored you 75

and Bobby Moore, you were right about him,

would have scored you 64.

And the best answer on the board - Anton, let me say it,

I know you want to tell everybody -

-it was of course Thomas Moore.

-Thomas...

-I know you know.

2 points for Thomas Moore. We were having a chat about Thomas Moore

-just before the show, reciting some of his work.

-We were.

Well, thank you very much. We're halfway through the round.

Let's take a look at the scores. Mark, the newcomer,

he waltzes off with the lowest score of the pass so far,

so very well done. Mark and Yvette looking strong at this point.

Then 18, well done, Bonnie and Todd.

21 - that's Anton and Kate.

Oh, and Debra, Jon... Oh, dear.

I'm sorry, you're on 100.

Jon, what we most definitely

will need from you is a low score.

We'll come back down the line now.

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

OK. We're going to put seven more people up on the board.

Seven more Moores. And here they are.

I'll read those all one last time.

Ah, Kate, welcome back to Pointless.

-Hello.

-A finalist, as well.

-Right.

-A finalist last time you were on, weren't you?

-Yes, you were.

-I was! I was.

I was. I did quite well.

You did very well. Extremely well.

-You're doing very well in this round too.

-I haven't done anything yet.

-Still, on the back of Anton.

-Oh, yes.

-The place to be.

-Oh, yes.

-I always think the morning sofa

is the best place to learn for Pointless.

That is where you're going to pick up all the pointless information.

-It's a very good point.

-Isn't it?

-I've been there a long time.

-Now,

there you are, on 21. The highest scorers Jon and Debra

taking a bit of pressure off you there, but 78 or less

-gets you into the next round very comfortably.

-Right, OK.

Um...I don't know a lot of these,

so I'm probably going to have to go for a really obvious one,

I'm afraid.

I don't know why I look at you like that. I was hoping for support.

Got to be 78 or less, obviously.

I think this is going to be really obvious,

-but I think it's right, so shall I go for it?

-Yes.

Dudley Moore, the bottom one.

-Dudley Moore?

-Yeah.

Let's see how many people said Dudley Moore.

There's your red line.

It's right, and through you go, Kate. Very well done indeed.

-Wow. 63. High score.

-Sorry.

-It's OK.

-It's quite high.

-No, it's OK.

84 is your total. Gets you through, though.

Very well played. Safely through to Round Two.

-Thanks very much indeed. Yvette.

-Hello.

-Welcome back.

-Thank you.

-You still hold the record for the youngest ever

-Blue Peter presenter.

-I do. 17.

-That must have been terrifying.

-It was.

-Wow.

-I was absolutely terrified,

and every time I looked at the camera, I just froze.

We didn't have autocue, we didn't have earpieces, we had nothing.

-You just had to do it?

-We used to write on our arm.

-Wow.

So if you had a long link, you just had to turn it like a wax cylinder.

Myself and Caron Keating, we would often pull back the sleeve,

we'd have Post-it notes on George the tortoise and the dogs

-to help us through.

-Now, there we are. You're on 9.

Very nice position Mark's left you in. 90 or less sees you through.

I'm going to go with the British astronomer and broadcaster

who presented The Sky At Night for over 50 years

who taught me how to interview properly - Patrick Moore.

-Did he?

-Yes.

-Did you ask him for that?

-No.

-Or did he come over and give it to you?

-Yes.

I was about to interview him on Blue Peter and we had autocue,

and he had a walking stick and he bashed the autocue and went,

"We'll have none of that here! Learn it properly!"

And I went, "Oh-oh-oh-oh!" It was the best interview I'd ever done.

-It was brilliant.

-Wow. Thank God it went that way.

Could have gone either way. So, Patrick Moore?

Let's see how many people said it. Lovely high red line for you.

I'm sure you can get below that.

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

-Ooh.

-52.

Takes your total up to 61.

Very well played, Yvette. Safely through.

Yvette was reminding me, last time she was on was a Blue Peter special,

-and do you remember I had a dog?

-Oh, you did!

-Wasn't that lovely?

-We said we should have it more often but we never have.

-No.

-Inca.

I remember. Inca. Lovely.

Now, Jon. Jon... Jon.

Jon, welcome.

-AS PATRICK MOORE:

-Very nice to have Patrick Moore mentioned there,

and you're right, that was a very marvellous interview.

APPLAUSE

Do you reckon, Jon, if you...

if you had to do an impression of someone,

and you took 24 hours,

do you think you could nail anyone?

I think so. I'd have a good go.

What's first, to get the voice, the tone of voice, or...

You just have to watch for as long as you can and see what you notice.

-AS SIMON COWELL:

-With Simon Cowell, it would probably be

that sort of body language, "OK, I'm going to stop you."

-AS ALAN CARR:

-And with Alan Carr, he's so chirpy and all that,

expressive dance, like this.

-You never know what you'll notice.

-They click into place and suddenly,

"Oh, there it is! It's suddenly ringing true."

Listen, you know what you have to do. We need a very low score

-and even then it might not be enough.

-OK...

Well, of the ones I know on there,

I think I might go for the rugby union hooker,

now commentator, Brian Moore.

Brian Moore. OK. No red line for you, I'm afraid,

cos you're the high scorers but let's see how many of our 100 people said Brian Moore.

It's right.

It's a good answer. Look at that, down it goes. 16.

Very well done.

16 is in fact our second-lowest score of the round so far.

-116 is your total.

-Well played, Jon.

All you could do there was put the pressure on Todd on that last podium.

-Terrific answer.

-Now, Todd, welcome back.

-Thanks very much.

Now, you are someone else who has spent most of their life

-in front of the camera.

-Hmm.

-What age did you start?

I started when I was four. Yeah.

That's even younger than Bonnie went on Opportunity Knocks.

For heaven's sake. Of course, recently...

not that recently, you've started directing,

-so you've stepped behind the camera.

-Indeed.

I've directed my first feature film

and I direct...

half a dozen...no, sorry. Yes, six episodes of Doctors for the BBC,

so, yeah, there's a method to my madness.

-It keeps me out of trouble.

-Very good.

Now, Todd, you do have a target here, which is 97 or less.

Essentially, you have to give us a right answer,

but if you can do that, you are through to the next round.

-Do you want to talk us through that board?

-There's only one I think

I know, and I think everyone else will know it.

Just hoping the 100 people had a moment of madness,

it's the only one I know, one of the most famous pottery scenes...

as a young man I'll ever remember!

-Demi Moore.

-Demi Moore, says Todd.

Here's your red line, nice and high.

Get below that with Demi Moore and you are in Round Two.

Yep, well done. Down it goes.

Very well done. 74. A high score, but with a total of 92,

that's good enough.

Very well played, Todd.

That's really rubbing it in for Debra.

I think Julianne Moore scored so few in that first pass

because so many of our 100 said Demi Moore to the same question you did.

As soon as you see the actress,

it's the first thing that pops into your head.

Let's take a look at the rest of these.

The voice from Rapunzel was Mandy Moore. 21 points.

Pink's real name is Alecia Moore.

-It's a good name.

-7. Alecia Moore?

-Yeah, it's a good name.

But Pink is more fun. She's got an upside down "i" in it.

She could have an upside-down "i" in Alecia.

She could do it with "Moore". She could have a couple of goggly eyes.

That's a good idea. And a couple of eyebrows.

This last one is a pointless answer,

so very well done if you said it. It is Ann Moore.

Terrific answer if you got that at home.

Thank you very much indeed. So, at the end of our first round,

the pair who are heading home with a high score of 116,

I'm so sorry, Jon and Debra. You were hot favourites

-to be lifting the trophy.

-As Patrick Moore himself once said...

-AS PATRICK MOORE:

-Never mind, these things happen.

Well, they do. Very stoical of you there.

But we will see you again another time. Come back and win again.

But meantime, thanks very much for playing. Jon and Debra, wonderful.

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

And so now we're down to three pairs. At the end of this round,

we will be down to two pairs.

Our category for Round Two today is...

Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

who's going to go second?

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

OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

..as they could. I'll just read that again.

There we are. Richard.

Yeah, From Me To You, that was The Beatles' first number one

and The Ballad Of John And Yoko, that was their last number one to date.

We are looking for any UK top 40 single by them that appear

alphabetically between the two of them. Any Beatles UK top 40 hits

that would fit alphabetically between those two songs.

-Very best of luck.

-OK. Thank you, Richard.

-So, Bonnie.

-Oh, it's me again.

-Yes, it's you again.

-Oh!

SHE LAUGHS

Help!

SCATTERED LAUGHTER

Perfect. Let's see if Bonnie's right.

Let's see how many of our 100 people said "Help!".

It's right.

-23.

-I can't believe that's that low.

23 for "Help!".

Well played, Bonnie. From 1965.

John Lennon says he wrote it

as he was struggling to comprehend the level of fame they'd achieved.

Thank you, Richard. Mark, what are you going to go for?

Um...I think...I think...

Love Me Do, I'll go for.

-Love Me Do.

-I'm pretty confident that was a single

-but I fear it will be quite a popular answer.

-Love Me Do.

Let's see how many of our 100 people said it, Love Me Do.

It's right.

Oh, it's not bad. 29.

Not bad at all.

-Perfectly respectable.

-Well played, Mark.

Did what you had to do and didn't panic.

One of the first ones they ever wrote together, Lennon and McCartney.

What happened to John's harmonica-playing after that?

It was George Martin's idea to have that on the record,

-but he didn't do it much after that.

-No. It's a shame.

They seemed to do all right without it(!)

Think how much better they might have done with it, though.

-A sobering thought.

-Anyway, there we are. We'll move on.

-Kate.

-Um...Michelle.

OK. Michelle. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Michelle.

LOUD GASPS

Oh, no, Kate, I'm so sorry.

We'll discover why in a second

but that is an incorrect answer and it scores you 100 points.

Yeah. A lovely song but it's an album track from Rubber Soul, I'm afraid.

It may not...it may not be the last 100 of the round, actually.

Let's have a look at those scores.

23, the best score. Well done, Bonnie and Todd.

Ahead of the game at this point.

Then at 29, we find Mark and Yvette,

then up to 100, Kate and Anton,

but Anton, as I say,

at the very least,

-we need a low score from you if you are to survive.

-Thank you.

We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players

please step up to the podium?

So, Anton, remember, we are looking for the titles of Beatles'

UK top 40 singles that come alphabetically between

From Me To You and The Ballad Of John And Yoko.

Um...Please Please Me.

-Oh!

-Please Please Me says Anton.

That's not a track. That's just a request.

LAUGHTER

Now, then, Anton, there's no red line for you

because you're the highest scorers.

Let's see how far down the column you can get with Please Please Me.

-It's right.

-Oh, it's good.

Keep going.

-Ohh.

-24.

Well done.

24. That could keep you in the game.

Well played, Anton. Put some pressure on Yvette there.

It was their second single. Originally it was a slow ballad

and George Martin said, "Why don't you try and speed it up?"

And Paul McCartney said,

-"That's the moment we first got that Beatles sound."

-Thank you.

-Yvette.

-I was going to do that.

-Oh!

They had a couple of other songs, it's fine(!)

But I'm not sure if they're a single, though, that's the thing.

-I thought Michelle was a single.

-I know. I blame the Red Album

and the Blue Album. They sowed all these seeds in our heads.

-Anyway, this is good news. You have to score 94 or less.

-OK.

Money.

-Money.

-Hmm.

Money, says Yvette. There's your red line, Yvette.

If you can get below that with Money,

you are in the head-to-head. Let's see how many people said Money.

-Oh, no!

-Oh, Yvette, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

100 is your score there. 129 is your very high total.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, a very early album track, Money, from With The Beatles,

but not a single.

Thanks very much.

Good knowledge, though.

-Can't fault your Beatles knowledge.

-Thank you.

And then the Flying Lizards did their version of it later on.

-It's a shame that didn't come up.

-Yes!

Todd, I have great news for you. You are going to be in the head-to-head.

-Oh.

-Ooh.

-There we are. You're on 23.

It doesn't matter what you score. What are you going to say?

Um...

Now that you mention it,

Get Back.

Get Back.

Surely that was a single?

From Let It Be. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Get Back.

It's right.

Very well done indeed. Good answer, Todd.

Let's see how far down we can go with that.

Best score of the round.

27. Total of 30.

The best total of the round as well, so very well done indeed.

Great answer, Todd. Very well played. 1969, reached number one.

The only Beatles single to go straight in the charts at number one.

There was one pointless answer, and that was in 1996 they remastered

a lot of The Beatles' songs

and one of the hits was Real Love. Well done if you said that.

You would have got 1 point for Something,

2 points for Lady Madonna, 4 for I Feel Fine,

4 also for Hello, Goodbye.

You'd have got 5 for Let It Be, 5 for Strawberry Fields Forever,

7 for Paperback Writer, 12 for Penny Lane,

17 for I Want To Hold Your Hand,

23 for She Loves You.

Let's look at the top three, we've seen a couple of them already.

There's Please Please Me, 24.

And in second place, Hey Jude, also 24.

And right at the top, Love Me Do on 29.

Thank you very much.

So, the pair leaving us at the end of the second round,

our heroes of Round One, oh, I'm so sorry, Yvette and Mark.

There's only one thing for it, you have to come back and play again.

Mark, please... I mean, Yvette, obviously, but...

-LAUGHTER

-..but you've been here before.

But Mark, please, don't be put off by this.

On the contrary, I'll spend from now

until the next time just researching everything in the world.

Excellent, perfect. Well, we will look forward to that.

But thanks so much, Yvette and Mark, wonderful contestants.

But for Anton and Kate and Todd and Bonnie,

it's now time for our head-to-head.

Congratulations, Todd and Bonnie, Kate and Anton,

you are now one step closer to the final and the chance to play for

our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,500.

So, Todd and Bonnie and Kate, all been here before, of course,

all been finalists in the past. So, Anton, new boy.

Never been in a final in me life!

-Wow.

-Never been anywhere near it.

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

OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...

Children's Programmes. Richard.

We'll show you five images from children's TV programmes,

you just need to tell us the most obscure of these.

Thanks, Richard, let's reveal our five images.

We've got...

OK, there we are, five images from children's programmes.

Now, Todd and Bonnie, you've been our lowest scorers throughout,

-so, you get to go first.

-Ooh!

THEY CONFER

-Well, E is...

-Is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

-Is that the correct title?

-Yes. I think so.

THEY LAUGH

We're going to go for E, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, say Todd and Bonnie.

Now, Kate and Anton, the board is all yours, talk us through it.

I mean, E could be the most obscure one, I don't know.

But what did you think that A was?

You thought it was the Magic Roundabout?

-Yeah, but it looks a bit modern.

-D is The Wombles and C is...

-Danger Mouse.

-Danger Mouse. B is...

-Pingu.

-Pingu.

-B, Pingu, I'm going to go with you.

-B, Pingu.

So, we have Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles versus Pingu.

Todd and Bonnie went Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for E,

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

Look at that, 53.

-53.

-53.

-Could have gone a bit lower, I think, for comfort.

But anyway, Kate and Anton, meanwhile, have said Pingu

for B, let's see if that's right and how many people said Pingu.

It's right...

Oh, 79.

So, not so bad, Todd and Bonnie. Very well done.

-After one question, you are up 1-0.

-Very well played.

There's only one answer there that would have beaten them,

and it is A, but A is actually from 1976, it's Chorlton And The Wheelies.

Very well done if you said that. Would have scored 7 points.

I wasn't even born!

-LAUGHTER

-Yeah, yeah(!)

What's so funny?

LAUGHTER

C, Danger Mouse, a slightly better scorer, would have scored 75 points.

And the biggest scorer of all was The Wombles,

they would have scored you 87.

Thanks very much indeed, Richard, so, here comes your second question,

Kate and Anton, you get to answer it first,

but you have to win it to stay in the game, so, very best of luck.

It concerns...

-Oh, come on!

-We've got the Dolly of Dolly Land over here!

She's sung them all, I don't know about songs from musicals!

-Richard...

-Could we have some that she hasn't done?

Well, let's find out, we are

about to play you five versions of songs from musicals, we need you

to tell us the name of the musical each of these songs is from, please.

OK, so, let's listen to our five excerpts, and here they are.

We have...

# The most beautiful sound I ever heard

# Maria

# Maria, Maria, Maria... #

Can you do the second line? You sing the next verse.

MAJESTIC ORCHESTRAL MUSIC

I'll do that one. Can I do that one?

# Anything you can do, I can do better

I can do anything better than you

-# No, you can't

-Yes, I can

-# No, you can't

-Yes, I can

-# No, you can't

-Yes, I can, yes, I can... #

SWINGING JAZZY MUSIC

Shall we do a turn?

# When you walk through a storm

# Hold your head up high

# And don't be afraid of the dark... #

OK, there we are. Five songs from musicals.

Kate and Anton, you will go first this time.

We think, possibly, I think people know the song,

but probably not where it came from.

-That's what I'm thinking. So, we think...

-Probably D.

-D.

-D.

-Which is...

-Sweet Charity.

Sweet Charity. D, Sweet Charity.

Now, Todd and Bonnie, do you want to talk us through the others?

Well, A is Tonight from West Side Story.

B was Jesus Christ Superstar, the title track.

Um, C, we think we know. D, yes, Sweet Charity.

And E is, um, You'll Never Walk Alone, from...Carousel.

So, it's about whether...

We think C is the most obscure,

the fact that people wouldn't know which show it is,

it's Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better,

which is from Annie, Get Your Gun.

Annie, Get Your Gun.

So, we have Sweet Charity and Annie, Get Your Gun.

Kate and Anton went for Sweet Charity, let's see

if that's right and if it is, how many people said Sweet Charity.

It's right.

Oh, it's a good score, down it goes, still going down.

Look at that, 3! Very well done indeed, Kate and Anton, good answer.

Well done.

That's going to take some beating, I would say.

But Todd and Bonnie might give it a run for its money, they've gone for Annie, Get Your Gun,

let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said that.

It is right.

It's going to be another low one. Down it goes, still going down...

Oh, 7!

Very close indeed. I should imagine, the two best answers on the board.

But well done, Kate and Anton, you're back in the game, after two questions, it's 1-1.

Well played, both teams. As we would expect, I think, from the people here,

they are the best two answers on the board by a mile. I'll go through all of them for you.

The first song was Maria from West Side Story, would have scored you 22.

Jesus Christ Superstar, would have scored you 53.

And E was, as you said, You'll Never Walk Alone from Carousel,

would have scored you 20. See, Big Spender from Sweet Charity.

-Very good answer.

-Thank you very much.

OK, here comes your third and final question,

whoever wins this goes through to the final.

Best of luck, both pairs. Our third question today concerns...

LAUGHTER

-Wow! Wow!

-Why wouldn't it?

Richard.

We've given you kids' TV programmes and musicals, we've got to give you something!

We'll give you five clues to facts about archery,

the team that gives us the best answer will go through

to play for the jackpot, so, best of luck.

OK, let's reveal our five clues. We have...

I'll read those all one last time.

Todd and Bonnie, you will go first.

Er, I think we're going to have to go for an obvious one.

Which is the second one down, the sign of the zodiac sometimes

known as The Archer, which is Sagittarius.

Sagittarius, say Todd and Bonnie.

OK, Kate and Anton, talk us through the rest of that board.

I think the top, the colour of the bull's-eye

-on an archery target is gold.

-OK. I thought it was red.

But I like your answer

for the one-word term for a long, narrow case.

I don't know if it's right, but I think it might be quiver.

Go with the quiver. Because that's obscure. I mean, I like that.

-Let's go for quiver.

-A lot of wrong things are obscure! Go for quiver.

So, we have Sagittarius and we have quiver.

Todd and Bonnie said Sagittarius, let's see

if it's right, and how many people said it.

It's right.

Oh, 42.

Happy with 42, Todd and Bonnie?

Now, then, Kate and Anton have gone for quiver,

let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said quiver.

It is a quiver.

42 is what you have to beat.

Oh, 48!

Todd and Bonnie, you have done it again.

After three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1,

-very well done indeed.

-Yeah, very well played.

Funnily enough, if you'd gone for the target, it's yellow,

we would have taken gold, though, it would have scored you 24 points.

Would have seen you through to the final.

I think quiver is a much more common word than you are imagining,

I'm afraid.

Classical mythology, that is Penelope,

would have scored you eight points.

And the Jennifer Lawrence character is Katniss Everdeen.

-She would have scored you 13 points.

-Thank you very much.

So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm

afraid it's Kate and Anton, but what a brilliant head-to-head that was.

-And so, so close.

-APPLAUSE

Well done.

Very, very well done, both pairs. But Kate and Anton,

it's been wonderful having you on the show, thank you for playing.

-Kate and Anton!

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

But for Todd and Bonnie, it's now time for our Pointless final.

Congratulations, Todd and Bonnie,

you have fought off all the competition

and won our coveted Pointless trophy, for the second time!

Good grief!

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,

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

Well done.

-You've done it, you've got the double covet!

-Yes! Bookends.

Exactly, bookends, perfect.

Do you think you can do the double jackpot, though? That would be fantastic.

-Don't let's push it, let's see how we do.

-Fingers crossed.

-Fingers crossed.

-Very, very best of luck. As always, you get to choose your category.

Four options for you to choose from, here they are.

-Almost a fully alliterative board, in fact!

-That's a very...

wide cross-section, isn't it? What are you thinking?

I've forgotten how to play the game!

LAUGHTER

-Will we do Rat Pack...?

-I think we have to.

-We've no option.

I think we've got to do Rat Pack.

You're going for the Rat Pack. Richard.

OK, we'll give you three questions now

about members of the Rat Pack, take your answers from any of these.

We are looking for...

So, any UK top 40 single up to April 2014, please,

released by any of those three artists.

Very best of luck.

OK, now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with

three answers, and all you need to win that jackpot

for your charities is for just one answer to be pointless.

-Are you ready?

-Yup.

-Er, yeah.

OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. Your time starts now.

Er, Frank Sinatra one that I think might be obscure is Witchcraft.

-Do you think?

-Witchcraft...

Or more of, do you want It Was A Very Good Year?

Is that the title of it, though?

Do you remember that one?

SHE HUMS TUNE

Um, Dean Martin, erm...

SHE HUMS

# How do you like your eggs in the morning? #

Er, Sammy Davis Jr could be... But we don't have to do any of them.

Candy Man is a good one. But that's quite obvious.

-What about Talk To The Animals?

-Did he sing that?

-Birth Of The Blues?

-Er, what was the other one...?

-What was the more obscure one you were saying?

The Birth Of The Blues, but if it's top 40, that's the only thing,

-top 40 UK.

-What was the other one you were saying?

-Witchcraft.

-About talking to the animals?

-If I Could Talk To The Animals.

He did that as well, but he did so many others.

Er... Rhythm Of Life.

The Rhythm Of Life, that's Sammy Davis as well, that might be obscure. But was it top 40?

OK, what about the Frank Sinatra one?

Frank Sinatra could be Witchcraft, it could be... No, I've gone blank.

-That's not a song!

-OK.

That's your time up, I now need your three answers.

And if you could say which category you are answering in as well.

-Shall we do two Frank Sinatras and a Sammy Davis, just to be safe?

-Yeah.

Which Sammy Davis shall we do?

Talk To The Animals, because I've never heard of it.

If that's the right title.

I don't know if it was a top 40 hit, though.

I think we'll go for The Birth Of The Blues.

OK, Sammy Davis, The Birth Of The Blues.

The Birth Of The Blues.

-Frank Sinatra, My Way.

-My Way.

My Way. And Frank Sinatra, Witchcraft.

Witchcraft, OK.

Of those three, which is the most likely to be pointless?

-Witchcraft.

-Witchcraft, we'll put last. Least likely to be pointless?

-The least likely, I would say, is My Way.

-OK, well, let's put

those answers up on the board, in that order. And here they are.

Well, very, very best of luck. Wouldn't it be so exciting if

you could win two jackpots on the trot? That would be fantastic.

Well, only one of these answers has to be pointless

for you to win that jackpot for your charities. What are your charities?

-Todd?

-We are going to split it this time round.

I'm going to go for the RSPCA.

-And I'm going to go for ChildLine.

-Excellent.

APPLAUSE

Well, let's hope that at least one of these answers is pointless

to win the jackpot for you.

OK, so, the one you thought was probably the least likely to be pointless was My Way. In this case,

we are looking for a Frank Sinatra UK top 40 hit. Let's find out if

it's right and let's find out if it's pointless, for £2,500.

It's right.

Down it goes, through the 60s, into the 50s...

Oh, 55 for My Way.

THEY LAUGH

I think, in the general maelstrom that was going on, I think

-you just...

-Just something that was right!

-But there we are,

it was right, perfect. That was just to clear the barrels, wasn't it? Absolutely fine.

Unfortunately, not a pointless answer. Only two more shots at the jackpot.

Your second answer was The Birth Of The Blues. In this case, we were looking for

a Sammy Davis Jr UK top 40 hit.

Let's find out how many people said it, for £2,500, is it pointless?

No!

Oh, no, I'm sorry, an incorrect answer there. Which means

everything is now riding on your third and final answer, the one

you thought was probably your best shot at a pointless answer,

Witchcraft. We're back to Frank Sinatra.

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

For £2,500, how many people said Witchcraft?

-It's right.

-It's right.

-It's right, that's the first thing it had to be.

Your first answer scored 55, My Way.

The Birth Of The Blues was incorrect.

But Witchcraft taking us down through single figures,

still going down... You've done it! Very well done indeed.

That is superb.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Our first double jackpot, I mean, that is absolutely brilliant.

-Well done, you.

-Well done! Well done!

-I can't believe that!

-Well done.

-Congratulations, Witchcraft was a pointless

answer, which means you go away, for the second time, with a jackpot of

£2,500 for your charity. Brilliant work, Todd and Bonnie, well done.

Well done, darling.

-Thank you.

-Well done.

Very well played, you barely put a foot wrong throughout the

whole show, terrific stuff and a great answer. Let's take a look at the other pointless answers.

See if you've got one at home.

The Tender Trap would have been a pointless answer.

Love's Been Good To Me.

Me And My Shadow, a duet with Sammy Davis Jr. So, that also would

have been a pointless answer for Sammy Davis Jr.

Nice 'n' Easy, you could have had Chicago, My Blue Heaven,

Summer Wind, Young At Heart, lots of pointless answers for Frank Sinatra.

Let's look at Dean Martin. Gentle On My Mind was a pointless answer.

Let Me Go, Lover. Return To Me. Under The Bridges Of Paris.

You also could have had Kiss, Naughty Lady, Shady Lane and The Man Who Plays The Mandolino.

Let's take a look at Sammy Davis Jr.

All Of You, Something's Gotta Give, That Old Black Magic,

and What Kind of Fool Am I? Very well done if you got any of those at home.

And congratulations in the studio, a terrific win.

-Wow, that was lucky!

-Well, thanks once again to our winning players,

Todd and Bonnie, who go away with today's jackpot of £2,500 for their charities, very well done.

Thank you! Thank you so much.

Join us next time, when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.

-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...

-Goodbye.

-..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
