0:00:23 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Welcome to this special soap edition of Pointless Celebrities,
0:00:28 > 0:00:29the quiz where the aim of the game
0:00:29 > 0:00:31is to find the most obscure answer possible.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Let's meet today's Pointless Celebrities.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36APPLAUSE
0:00:39 > 0:00:43- And couple number one.- I'm Laila Morse and I play Mo in EastEnders.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47I'm Zainab Masood in EastEnders and I'm meant to be in Pakistan
0:00:47 > 0:00:48but they let me out for the day.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Couple number two.
0:00:54 > 0:01:00I'm Deena and I was Viv Windsor in Emmerdale for 18 years.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05I'm Claire King and I played Kim Tate in Emmerdale twice.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07APPLAUSE
0:01:09 > 0:01:10Couple number three.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12I'm Stefan Dennis
0:01:12 > 0:01:15and I'm from a little-known Australian drama serial
0:01:15 > 0:01:16called Neighbours.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20I'm Rebekah Elmaloglou, I play Therese Willis,
0:01:20 > 0:01:22his boss, on Neighbours.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- I thought I was your boss... - I'm your boss. - APPLAUSE
0:01:26 > 0:01:28And finally, couple number four.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31I'm Ray Quinn and I played Anthony Murray in Brookside back in the day.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36I'm Louis Emerick and I played Mick Johnson in Brookside for 12 years.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38APPLAUSE
0:01:38 > 0:01:42And these are today's celebrities. Thank you all very much indeed.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44We'll find out more about each of you throughout the show.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Ruling over the show like trivia's answer to Kim Jong-un,
0:01:49 > 0:01:52our glorious leader and a close Pointless friend of mine, it's Richard.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55APPLAUSE Hiya. Hey, everybody.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Good evening to you.- Good evening. - This is fun, isn't it?
0:02:02 > 0:02:05We've done soap specials before and they're always good fun.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07I'll tell you who does well at soap specials, by and large -
0:02:07 > 0:02:09don't want to put any pressure on the last two podiums,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11but EastEnders and Emmerdale
0:02:11 > 0:02:13historically very good at these soap specials.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15But I think on podium three, we should give a special welcome
0:02:15 > 0:02:17because they've come all the way from Australia
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- to see us today, so that's nice. - They're only over here for a week.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Let's get on with it. - Yeah, we better had.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Um, but you know I think it'd be nice if people let them
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- get through a couple of rounds at least, don't you think?- Yeah.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Be a nice thing to do.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Ray has been on before, the star of the class.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35He got all the way through to the head-to-head,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38so, Louis, you've got yourself a very good partner there.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Should be a cracker. Round One should be good for everyone,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43we're going to give you a nice, easy Round One.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44I'm assuming everyone here
0:02:44 > 0:02:46is interested in 19th century neurobiology?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48LAUGHTER Yeah? You're going to love it.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Thanks very much indeed.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53All our questions on Pointless are put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Our contestants need to find the obscure answers
0:02:56 > 0:02:57those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:02:59 > 0:03:02an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Find one of those and we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Now, as today's show is a celebrity special,
0:03:07 > 0:03:09each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12We start off with a jackpot of £2,500.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16APPLAUSE
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25OK, all you have to remember
0:03:25 > 0:03:29is that the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated
0:03:29 > 0:03:31so do everything you can to make sure that's not your pair.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Our first category today is...
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Pop music. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:03:39 > 0:03:41who's going to first, who's going to go second?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43And whoever's going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Debut number ones, Richard.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56On each pass we're going to show you the names
0:03:56 > 0:03:58of seven UK number one singles.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00They were all the first number ones for various acts or bands.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02You just need to tell us the name of the artist
0:04:02 > 0:04:05who had a number one single with the songs you're about to see.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Seven on each pass, 14 in all to have a go at at home, so very good luck.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11We just want the names of the artists who got to number one
0:04:11 > 0:04:13with these singles and here's our first board of seven.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16We have got...
0:04:29 > 0:04:31I'll read those again.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46- Now. Nina. Welcome.- Hi.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49So yes, you've temporarily... You haven't left EastEnders,
0:04:49 > 0:04:52you sort of HAVE left EastEnders, but your character remains alive.
0:04:52 > 0:04:57- Yes.- So at any stage, you could be wheeled back in.- Yes, I could, yes.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00I'll probably come back in a coma or something.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- That'd be fun.- That'd be great fun.- No lines to learn.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Get to lie down all day long. - Fantastic.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08But you've done lots of comedy, notably Goodness Gracious Me.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- Yeah, we've just done a one-off special again.- Have you?
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Yeah, with a view to maybe a series, so it'd be great.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- When can we look forward to seeing that?- Very shortly.- Excellent.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20But I always think that soap operas are kind of...
0:05:20 > 0:05:24they're kind of comedy dramas, aren't they?
0:05:24 > 0:05:25When you were doing EastEnders,
0:05:25 > 0:05:28did you find that you used your comedy chops more than your acting chops
0:05:28 > 0:05:31or was it much the same? Do you approach it differently?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34I've done both. This was my mentor, by the way.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Yes, Mo was my mentor when I joined. She had to show me the ropes.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Um, but I found with 'Enders, when they asked me to join,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44they said, "Can you do Pauline Fowler but...
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- "funny?" - LAUGHTER
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Now, that's a brief! I've never had a brief like that before.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53So I found the key to it and that was to make her really blunt.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55So Zainab's grumpy but if somebody says to her,
0:05:55 > 0:05:57"Does my bum look big in this?" She'd go "Yes."
0:05:57 > 0:05:59And the audience would find that funny and she'd go "What?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- "She asked me, I told her." There you go. - LAUGHTER
0:06:02 > 0:06:04I don't know if I'm allowed to say that, by the way.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Too late, you've just said it.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Nina, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Um... I'm going to go for...
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Real Slim Shady.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17And I really hope it's Eminem.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Eminem, says Nina for Real Slim Shady.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24It's right!
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- Ooh. 68.- That's not good, is it? - APPLAUSE
0:06:32 > 0:06:33- Not a bad start. - Yeah, well-played, Nina.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36The Real Slim Shady, one of Eminem's many aliases.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- In fact, Eminem is an alias. - Of course, Marshall Mathers.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Thank you very much indeed. Now, Deena.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Deena, welcome to the show. Now, Emmerdale you were on.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Emmerdale, when did it stop being Emmerdale Farm?
0:06:49 > 0:06:50I know it was a long time ago.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53I suppose it was about 1994, was it?
0:06:53 > 0:06:57There was a big plane crash that smashed into the village
0:06:57 > 0:07:02and instead of Beckindale, it became Emmerdale and they dropped the Farm.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05They just dropped the Farm, just like that.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- They just dropped the Farm. - Wow. Right, good.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Sorted now. So, Deena, what are you up to at the moment?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15I'm in a play called Untidy Endings,
0:07:15 > 0:07:19it's in the West End, Tristan Bates Theatre.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23It's a fantastic play, very, very well written by Harvey Fierstein,
0:07:23 > 0:07:3030 years old and it's got humour, touching and it's very dramatic.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32So this is its first ever performance?
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Yes. It's the debut into England from America.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Excellent. OK, now, Deena, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40I think I'll go for...
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- Coz I Love You, Slade. - Slade, says Deena.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:07:45 > 0:07:46let's see how many people said Slade.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50It is right.
0:07:50 > 0:07:5268, our high score, you passed that.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- 19.- Wow. - APPLAUSE
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Very well done, Deena.
0:07:58 > 0:07:5919 for Slade.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03With spelling like that,
0:08:03 > 0:08:05it could only be Slade.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Yes, written in 20 minutes, says Noddy Holder.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- That long? - LAUGHTER
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Thanks very much indeed. Now, Stefan, welcome.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17You were in the very, very first episode of Neighbours.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20I was in scene one, day one of Neighbours, 1985, yeah.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21Now...
0:08:21 > 0:08:23what did Paul actually do?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I mean, obviously, I know he ran Lassiter's, but really...
0:08:26 > 0:08:29He's just a cad! That's what he does best, I think.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33But in the office, with all that paper shuffling...
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I'm very good at putting things away, not having a clue...
0:08:36 > 0:08:38I have never seen a person busier doing stuff
0:08:38 > 0:08:40that I've never quite been able to define.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41And walking purposefully.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Yeah. But you're back in Neighbours now.- Yes, I am.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I came back for two weeks and believe it or not,
0:08:46 > 0:08:47I've been back in ten years.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Fantastic.- Two week guest-y, I came back for.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52What day did they come up and say, actually,
0:08:52 > 0:08:54would you mind just staying?
0:08:54 > 0:08:55Uh, it sort of grew.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Two weeks became three months, which became six months, which...
0:08:59 > 0:09:00became ten years.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- And ongoing.- And has it changed much? I suppose it must have done.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Dramatically.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07From when I first came, again, the thing I say is,
0:09:07 > 0:09:10it's probably not so much that the audience would know the change
0:09:10 > 0:09:13so much, but me as the actor, coming in from the early days to now,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- significant technological changes.- Of course.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18And obviously, when I came in, I was the new kid on the block,
0:09:18 > 0:09:20even though everybody was like,
0:09:20 > 0:09:22"Psst, psst, legend, Neighbours, Paul Robinson,"
0:09:22 > 0:09:23going through the corridors,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26but I was like, "I don't know anybody here."
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Extraordinary.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30It's all changed now, though.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Are you the senior statesman of Neighbours these days?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- I'm the king.- The king, yeah. As it should be.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37She's my queen, actually.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42There was a bit of a contretemps over who was whose boss.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43We'll come to that in a moment.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Stefan, what are you going to go for?
0:09:46 > 0:09:47I, uh, well...
0:09:47 > 0:09:53I safely only know one because they're all UK hits I think.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56You Really Got Me is running through my head and I know,
0:09:56 > 0:09:57but I can't think of the singer
0:09:57 > 0:09:59so I'm going to go Heart Of Glass, Blondie.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Blondie, says Stefan, for Heart Of Glass.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Blondie.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07It's right.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- 56.- Not bad. - APPLAUSE - Not bad.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Well played, Stefan.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19From an entirely different country, couldn't be from further away,
0:10:19 > 0:10:21and still gets a great score.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22Number one in the UK for four weeks,
0:10:22 > 0:10:25number one in the US as well, that song.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- Thanks very much indeed. Now, Ray. Welcome back.- Hi.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- You were a head-to-header last time.- Yeah.- With your wife.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32I was really clever.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37- HE LAUGHS - Yeah. Did really, really well. - Not my doings whatsoever.
0:10:37 > 0:10:43Come now. Ray, now, listen, either, EITHER, and I'm not...
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Either you have an extraordinary gift
0:10:45 > 0:10:48or you do an awful lot of preparation for everything you appear on
0:10:48 > 0:10:51because you always go through to the finals.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- I'm a really good blagger, that's the thing.- But you can dance!
0:10:55 > 0:10:56On ice!
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Yeah, pretty much. - You can't blag that.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02In fact, you were champion of champions of Dancing On Ice.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06It was an amazing experience the first time round,
0:11:06 > 0:11:10to get asked to come back and do it again, I just grasped it really, I loved it.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- I absolutely loved it.- Had you ever done it before?- Erm... No.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16I mean, obviously, the first time round, a couple of lessons before.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17But that was it?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Yeah, and then jumped straight into rehearsals
0:11:20 > 0:11:22and straight into training and, of course, Chris and Jayne,
0:11:22 > 0:11:24can't ask for better coaches,
0:11:24 > 0:11:26I had Maria by my side who was my professional skating partner
0:11:26 > 0:11:30and, of course, Mark and Robin and Nicky,
0:11:30 > 0:11:32they all put a hand in somewhere.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Yeah, I was learning from the best. What can I say?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- I was soaking it like a sponge. - Yeah. Well, fantastic. Good for you.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Ray, you're the last person to have this board.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42If you wanted, you could talk us through all of the gaps and fill them in.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Well, I'm a bit like that, really.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46You Really Got Me is going through my head
0:11:46 > 0:11:48and I just don't know who it is, I can't...
0:11:48 > 0:11:52It's wrecking my brain and I was going to go with Shady
0:11:52 > 0:11:54because I like rap and I knew but that's gone.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57So I'm going to go Someone Like You, and I think it's Keane.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Keane, says Ray for Someone Like You.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Let's see if that's right and if it is let's see how many people said Keane.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Oh, I'm afraid not Keane, Ray.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, scores you the maximum of 100 points.- Who was it?
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Yeah, sorry, Ray. I think you're thinking of Somewhere Only We Know, the Keane song.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- Someone Like You, you'll know it as well, it's Adele.- Ah!
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- Of course.- It would have been a good answer as well.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24I had the lyric in my head and that was what it was.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Would have scored you 26 points.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29You Really Got Me, I'm sure lots of people at home are singing
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- along to that. Louis?- The Kinks. - The Kinks, absolutely.
0:12:32 > 0:12:37- Would have scored 37. Country House, Xander?- Blur.- Blur, yep.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Would have scored 37. And do you know Setting Sun?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- Best answer.- Chemical Brothers. - It is The Chemical Brothers.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Well done if you said that, the best answer up there.
0:12:44 > 0:12:456 points.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round, let's look at the scores.
0:12:48 > 0:12:5019, Deena, the best score of that pass.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Very well done, Claire and Deena, sitting pretty at this stage.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Up to 56 where we find Stefan and Rebekah.
0:12:55 > 0:12:5968, Nina and Laila, and then up to 100 where we find Ray and Louis.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02You're not miles ahead, so a good answer from you, Louis...
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- HE LAUGHS - He was right about his wife being the brains.- I told you.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07LAUGHTER
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Anything can happen in this next pass, a low score from you, Louis,
0:13:10 > 0:13:12could keep you in the game so best of luck.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21OK, let's put seven more singles up on the board
0:13:21 > 0:13:23and here they come, we have got...
0:13:37 > 0:13:38I'll read those one last time.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Remember, Louis, you're looking for the artists who got to number one with these singles.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57You're going to try and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:13:57 > 0:14:02Louis, a warm welcome to Pointless. Now, when you were on Brookside...
0:14:02 > 0:14:04There was a rumour that Brookside... It was filmed
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- in a real close, wasn't it? - That's right, yes.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08You had to film it during the day
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- and then the people who lived there would come back every night?- No, no.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16- Phil Redmond, the owner, he went and bought...- Oh, I see, he bought them.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19..ten houses and so they were exclusively for Brookside.
0:14:19 > 0:14:24- So when did you stop? - I stopped in 2001.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25What do you do now, Louis?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I'm just about to start later this year,
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- I'll be working on the forthcoming tour of The Full Monty.- Fantastic.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Which is going to be a national tour so I'm looking forward to that.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Will that be coming into the West End at the end?
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- No, it'll be finishing in Sheffield where it first started out.- Perfect.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- But we're going all over the major cities.- Lovely.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Best of luck with that.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47There you are, you're the high scorers on 100,
0:14:47 > 0:14:49we need a low score from you, Louis. How do you feel about this board?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- I've got to get the answers then, have I?- Come on!
0:14:52 > 0:14:53Let me think.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55There's a couple that I know
0:14:55 > 0:14:57and I'm just trying to think which one might be lower.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Erm..
0:14:59 > 0:15:01I'll try...
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Massachusetts. Bee Gees.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Bee Gees, says Louis, for Massachusetts.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07No red line for you cos you're the high scorers.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10But let's see how far down the column you get with The Bee Gees.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14It's right.
0:15:18 > 0:15:1940.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24- 40 takes your total up to 140. - APPLAUSE
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Well played, Louis. Given yourself a chance.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Extraordinary songwriters, The Bee Gees,
0:15:27 > 0:15:30they actually wrote that song for another band, an Australian band
0:15:30 > 0:15:32called The Seekers, but The Bee Gees said,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35"Why don't we do it ourselves?" And the rest is history.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38I'd love to see the letter they sent to The Seekers
0:15:38 > 0:15:39after they got to number one.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Thanks very much. Now, Rebekah.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Oh, hi.- Welcome here. Rebekah.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49Now, you were in Home And Away and Neighbours.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52The two big bookends of Australian television
0:15:52 > 0:15:54as far as we're concerned over here.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Which do you prefer?
0:15:57 > 0:15:58- Oh!- Come on.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Summer Bay, all that water.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Look, they're so different,
0:16:04 > 0:16:06but I get asked that question all the time and the thing is
0:16:06 > 0:16:09that it's been 25 years between gigs,
0:16:09 > 0:16:12between those two particular shows,
0:16:12 > 0:16:16so it's really hard to say, but Neighbours, of course.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Of course, at the moment.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21You have acting in your blood.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22While you're over here,
0:16:22 > 0:16:26I gather you've been hobnobbing with your cousins, the Denches.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- Who are probably sitting at home, watching this.- Are they?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34- Yes.- Really? Does Dame Judi watch Pointless?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- Dame Judi does, yes. - Well, I believe she does.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Of course she does, Dame Judi loves it.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Yes, she watches with Dame Maggie, Dame Maggie and Dame Judi.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44All the dames come round, in fact it's Dame Judi Dench,
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Dame Maggie Smith and, strangely, Dame Kelly Holmes, they all...
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- All together? - They all watch together.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- Eileen Atkins does it on catch up. - Yes, exactly.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- Very good.- Eileen Atkins records it, watches it
0:16:55 > 0:16:57and then pretends she gets the right answers
0:16:57 > 0:17:00and Dame Judi says she can't come round any more.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- Fair enough.- Yeah.- Fair enough.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07You are... You've got it pretty easy, you have to score 83 or less.
0:17:07 > 0:17:1083 or less and you're through to the next round.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- What do you make of this board? - Well... I only know one.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19And it's fairly obvious. So, that's not going to be great.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22But I'm just going to have to go with it, because it is the only one that I know.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25So, Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, Wham!
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Wham! says Rebekah. Here comes your red line.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Get below that red line, you're in Round Two.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Let's see how many people said Wham!
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Let's see if it can get Rebekah and Stefan into Round Two.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38It's right.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40And you're through, very well done.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- 70. Good enough. - APPLAUSE
0:17:42 > 0:17:43126 is your total.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Well played, Rebekah, that's all you had to do.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51The first of many, many, many number ones for Wham! and for George Michael.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Written by George Michael but based on a note left for him
0:17:53 > 0:17:54by Andrew Ridgeley.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- Apparently.- Oh, right.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02- It was nearly called "Get Milk Milk." - I was going to say, yeah.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Thanks very much, Richard. Claire.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- I have great news for you. You're in Round Two.- Marvellous.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12You are straight through. Now, Claire, aside from acting,
0:18:12 > 0:18:14what's your biggest passion?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- Horse racing.- It is, isn't it?- It is.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Do you own a horse, do you have a share in a horse?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Yes, on the flat because the vet bills aren't as extreme
0:18:23 > 0:18:25as they would be if they were over the sticks.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Of course. But not only that, you've ridden as well.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- You've done a bit of amateur jockeying.- I had an amateur jockey's licence in the early '90s,
0:18:31 > 0:18:32when I was doing Emmerdale.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- That was always flat, was it, or did you do jumps as well?- Flat.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- Not completely stupid.- Wow.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Wow, but, yeah, you raced at Windsor as well.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I won a race at Windsor actually, but that was a charity race.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44I nearly ended up in the Thames
0:18:44 > 0:18:46because I couldn't pull up at the end.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48God, very exciting.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Well, as I say, you're through,
0:18:50 > 0:18:53but let's see how low down the column you can get.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55OK.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57What are you going to go for?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59I'm not 100% sure,
0:18:59 > 0:19:04so I'm going to have to go for another fairly obvious one.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Sound Of The Underground with Girls Aloud.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Girls Aloud, says Claire.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Hoping there's loads of old people been asked about this.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- Like me.- Well, there's no red line for you for the lovely reason that
0:19:14 > 0:19:17you're already through but let's see how many people said Girls Aloud.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21It's right.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- 59.- I thought it'd be high. - APPLAUSE
0:19:26 > 0:19:2859 taking your total up to 78.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Well played, Claire. Yes, the first of Girls Aloud's 21 top ten hits.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Really? Good for them.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38- Wow, they snuck them in. - Didn't they?- 21?!
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Yeah, while you weren't looking.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42- HE WHISTLES - That's... Wow.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- Yeah.- That's 21 more than you and I. Isn't it?- I know.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- Between us.- At time of recording.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- Nicely said.- You never know.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55- Yeah. OK, thank you very much indeed. Now, Laila.- Yes.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56Laila, welcome back.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Now, I think you're one of the longest-serving actresses,
0:19:59 > 0:20:03actors full-stop, in EastEnders, aren't you?
0:20:03 > 0:20:07- One of them. Not the only one, no, I'm...- You're one of them.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09- One of them, I'm not the only one. - No, not the only one.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- There are seven of you, I think, is that right?- Yeah, about that.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14I hope you get privileges.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- I hope you get a nice place to park. - THEY LAUGH
0:20:17 > 0:20:19I don't think so, no.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20Is it not a nice big comfy seat
0:20:20 > 0:20:23with "Laila" written on the back that's very close to the set?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- I wish.- Really? We've got it here.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Yeah, you've got to be quite old to get one of them.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Ah, yes, many years hence.
0:20:30 > 0:20:36Now, Laila, you're on 68. This is where you have to score 71 or less.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Do you fancy talking us through the board?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Um...
0:20:40 > 0:20:41No, not really.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43LAUGHTER
0:20:43 > 0:20:47It's All Over Now and Oh Carolina.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53Just hoping I've picked the right name to go with it.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Let's go with Oh Carolina,
0:20:55 > 0:20:59- Shaggy.- Shaggy, says Laila. There's your red line.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01If you can get below this red line, you're in Round Two.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Let's see if Shaggy's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08It's right.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10And you're through. Very, very well done indeed.
0:21:12 > 0:21:1436 takes your total up to 104,
0:21:14 > 0:21:18gets you into Round Two. Very well done.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Well played, Laila, that's a great answer. Safely through.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Were you tempted to go for It's All Over Now?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Yeah, I thought it was The Stones.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28It was The Stones, yeah, it's actually a better scorer.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Believe it or not. It doesn't matter, you're safely through.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32Would have scored you 20 points.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Written by Bobby and Shirley Womack, that song.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37What Makes You Beautiful, anyone?
0:21:37 > 0:21:38One Direction.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Of course, it's One Direction, our favourites on the show.- Indeed.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Lovely Zayn. 29 points for that, all right. Zayn watches as well.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46Zayn loves the show.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- NINA:- He's my son in real life. Not really.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49LAUGHTER
0:21:49 > 0:21:52And the best answer on the board, So Sick?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- RAY:- Ne-Yo.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- Ne-Yo, Ray, absolutely.- Should have gone the other way around.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59That's such a shame. You both got terrific answers on each other's boards.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Such a shame. 8 points for Ne-Yo, best answer up there.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04We're not going to talk about this moment again, we're going to...
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- Put it to bed, I think, aren't we? - No, I will, I'll talk about it. - LAUGHTER
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Thanks very much, Richard.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12At the end of Round One, the pair heading home with a score of 140,
0:22:12 > 0:22:14I'm really sorry, Louis and Ray.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Oh, you'd be the low scorers had it just been the other way round.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19- Oh, well.- Oh, well.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22You'll just have to come back, come back again and do better.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- Thanks so much for playing, Louis and Ray!- Thank you.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27APPLAUSE
0:22:28 > 0:22:31But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36We're down to three pairs.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye
0:22:39 > 0:22:41to another pair in time for our head-to-head round.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Well done, all three pairs.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Claire and Deena, very well done, our low scorers there.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50- Slade, a particularly good answer from you.- Old rockers, you see?
0:22:50 > 0:22:51You never lose it.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53And Stefan and Rebekah, congratulations,
0:22:53 > 0:22:56you navigated your way through a very UK-centric board there.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58I was hoping that Don't It Make You Feel Good?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00would have been there but, you know.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- ALEXANDER LAUGHS - Aussie number one, obviously.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05I've got bad news to you about where that got to in the charts.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Anyway, best of luck to all three pairs.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Let's hope there's a more Antipodean-friendly round coming up.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Our category for Round Two is...
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Can you decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:23:19 > 0:23:22And whoever's going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27OK, and the question concerns...
0:23:31 > 0:23:33GROANING
0:23:33 > 0:23:34Olympic gold medallists.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Look how delighted everybody seems(!) That's nice.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42We're going to show you a board with five Olympic events on it,
0:23:42 > 0:23:45we need you to tell us the name of anyone who's ever won a gold medal in one of these events,
0:23:45 > 0:23:49that's from the 1948 Olympics, right through to the 2012 Olympics.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52So anyone who's won a gold medal in any of the five events
0:23:52 > 0:23:55you're about to see from 1948 all the way through to 2012.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56So as Richard just said,
0:23:56 > 0:23:58we're going to put five Olympic events up on the board.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01We're looking for any post-war gold medallist
0:24:01 > 0:24:03in any of these five events and these events are...
0:24:15 > 0:24:16I'll read those all again.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28There we are. Now, Nina.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31I... Actually...
0:24:32 > 0:24:36Hang on, Men's 10,000 metres, wouldn't that be Mo Farah?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Mo Farah, says Nina.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Mo Farah.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46- It's right.- Whoo!
0:24:51 > 0:24:52There we are. 25.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55APPLAUSE
0:24:55 > 0:24:56Good work, Nina.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Well done, Nina. That's what happens when A, you don't panic
0:25:02 > 0:25:03and B, you go first.
0:25:03 > 0:25:10- Yeah, he won the 2012 10,000 metres. - Thanks, Richard. Now, Claire.- Mmm.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Erm...
0:25:13 > 0:25:18I know one stands out but I'm going to go a little bit random,
0:25:18 > 0:25:20a little bit way back in time.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25And go for the All Round Individual in Women's Artistic Gymnastics.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Yeah?
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- Olga Korbut. - Olga Korbut says Claire.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Let's see if Olga Korbut is right.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Let's see how far down the column we get with Olga Korbut.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- Oh, what?- Oh, no.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43I thought that was really good.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46I'm afraid, for some reason that's an incorrect answer.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48we'll be told why in a second. That Scores you 100 points, I'm sorry.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- Was it not very artistic?- Yeah, that's unlucky,
0:25:50 > 0:25:52I think plenty people would have said Olga Korbut.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Very famous gymnast, she did win medals
0:25:54 > 0:25:58but she didn't win the overall best gymnast of the Games unfortunately.
0:25:58 > 0:26:04- But that's a tough 100. Well done for going for an obscurer answer.- Yeah.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05Stefan.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10I'm in a bit of a hole here because I'm not a watcher of sports,
0:26:10 > 0:26:11I'm a doer.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- As you can tell. - LAUGHTER
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Have you won gold in any of these disciplines? LAUGHTER
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Ah, dear, dear, dear.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22See I was going to go for the Artistic Gymnastics
0:26:22 > 0:26:24but I'm going to have a crack at Men's 100...
0:26:26 > 0:26:30It's probably a high-scorer, I'm going to go Linford Christie.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Linford Christie, says Stefan.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Let's see if that's right and how many people said Linford Christie.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38It's right.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- REBEKAH:- Oh, yes.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Look at that! 14.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- APPLAUSE - Very well done indeed, Stefan.
0:26:48 > 0:26:5014 for Linford Christie.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Well played, Stefan. Yeah, won in 1992 in Barcelona.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56The great Linford Christie.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Thanks very much. Let's take a look at those scores as they stand.
0:26:59 > 0:27:0114, the best score of that pass, Stefan and Rebekah.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Looking pretty good at this stage.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Up to 25 where we find Nina and Laila,
0:27:06 > 0:27:09then up to 100, Claire and Deena.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13- Now, Deena, anything might happen in this next pass.- And probably will.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16A low score might keep you in the game, so yes, get thinking.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18We're going to come back down the line.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Second players, please, step up to the podium.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- OK, Rebekah. - SHE GIGGLES
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- Rebekah... - HE LAUGHS SMUGLY
0:27:29 > 0:27:30Oh, shush.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34I can't, I really can't tell you.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37What happens now, if I don't...?
0:27:37 > 0:27:40If you genuinely can't think of anything,
0:27:40 > 0:27:42you're going to have to make up a name
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- which is my favourite thing ever. - LAUGHTER
0:27:48 > 0:27:50That's funny. All right. Erm...
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Oh... June Whitford.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56June Whitford.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59June Whitford. OK.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Here's your red line, nice and high.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Get below that with June Whitford and you are in the head-to-head.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05Let's see if it's right,
0:28:05 > 0:28:07let's see how many people said June Whitford.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Oh.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15I'm sorry, that's an incorrect answer, Rebekah. Scores 100 points.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Takes your total up to 114, but you might still be through.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Stefan's score in the first pass was incredibly low.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22Yeah, sorry, Rebekah. June Whitford.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Two silvers, four bronzes, no golds, I'm afraid for June Whitford. LAUGHTER
0:28:26 > 0:28:28My favourite bit, when someone makes a name up,
0:28:28 > 0:28:31is statistically someone at home will be called June Whitford
0:28:31 > 0:28:34and literally, you would have just made the last 60 seconds of her life. LAUGHTER
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Imagine the people she's ringing right now.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Now then, Deena.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43- Yes.- The high score at the moment is 114, you're on 100.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46If you can score 13 or less...
0:28:46 > 0:28:5013 or less, Olga Korbut will be forgotten.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51Not by me.
0:28:53 > 0:28:54Um, right.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Equestrian Eventing, Princess Anne.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Princess Anne.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Princess Anne. There's your red line.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05If you can get below that red line with Princess Anne,
0:29:05 > 0:29:07that's brilliant.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10- SHE LAUGHS - I don't know, let's find out. Is that right? Princess Anne.
0:29:10 > 0:29:11How many people said it, if it is?
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Oh, no!
0:29:16 > 0:29:18I'm afraid that's another incorrect answer,
0:29:18 > 0:29:21scores you 100 points, take your total up to 200.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23- Oh. Bye.- Bye.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25LAUGHTER No, she won many things in her career,
0:29:25 > 0:29:27including Sports Personality Of The Year
0:29:27 > 0:29:30but not an individual gold in Equestrian Eventing.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34Now, Laila. You're going to be in the head-to-head for the second time running.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36- Yes.- See, you're not surprised.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37But that's a great achievement.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Anyway, you're on 25, doesn't matter what you score.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Do you want to talk us through your thoughts?
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- Um, no, I'll just say Usain Bolt. - Usain Bolt, OK.
0:29:46 > 0:29:47- LAUGHTER - Fair enough.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49No red line for you, you're already through,
0:29:49 > 0:29:52but let's see how many of our 100 people said Usain Bolt.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55It's right.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03- 27. - APPLAUSE
0:30:03 > 0:30:0452, your total.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10That's how to play Pointless, such a professional.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Straight in there with Usain Bolt. Won two golds in 2008
0:30:13 > 0:30:15and 2012 in the 100 metres.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Claire, was there another gymnast you were maybe going to go for?
0:30:18 > 0:30:22- Lyudmila Turischeva, was it?- It's a pointless answer.- No.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25That was my toss up.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Let's take a look at all the pointless answers,
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Nadia Comaneci would have been 7 as well.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31Nadia Comaneci.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Let's have a look at the pointless answers.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Alberto Cova, the Italian, won the 10,000 metres.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Hasely Crawford, the sprinter
0:30:38 > 0:30:40was a pointless answer, as was Jim Hines.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43You could have had Jackie Joyner-Kersee for the heptathlon,
0:30:43 > 0:30:45also Carolina Kluft for the heptathlon.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47There's Lyudmila Turischeva for you.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50And Larisa Latynina as well.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Leslie Law, who won an equestrian medal.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54You also would have got a pointless answer for Mark Todd
0:30:54 > 0:30:58and for Richard Meade, well done if you said either of them.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01A few more, Mary Lou Retton who won a Gymnastics gold.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Miruts Yifter, they used to call him "Yifter the Shifter",
0:31:04 > 0:31:09won the 10,000 metre title as did Khalid Skah who was also a pointless answer.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12And another Gymnastics winner there, Yelena Davydova.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Let's take a look at the top three.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Jessica Ennis, 18 points, Heptathlon gold and, of course,
0:31:20 > 0:31:26we've seen the first two from that first podium, Mo Farah on 25 and Usain Bolt on 27.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29So the pair who are heading home
0:31:29 > 0:31:33with their high score of 200, I'm afraid, Deena and Claire.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36And what makes it all the more galling is that you might have got a pointless answer.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Yeah, I know, it's hedging your bets though.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42You have a little bit of a gamble and if it pays off it's great,
0:31:42 > 0:31:43if it doesn't, well...
0:31:43 > 0:31:46- Bye.- Well, you'll have to come back, come back and play again.- We will.
0:31:46 > 0:31:47We'll look forward to that
0:31:47 > 0:31:49but thanks very much for playing.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50Deena and Claire!
0:31:50 > 0:31:52APPLAUSE
0:31:54 > 0:31:57But for Stefan and Rebekah and Nina and Laila,
0:31:57 > 0:31:58it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Congratulations, Nina and Laila, Stefan and Rebekah,
0:32:05 > 0:32:06you are now one step closer to the final
0:32:06 > 0:32:09and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at...
0:32:12 > 0:32:14APPLAUSE
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Here's the point where we decide who gets to play for that money.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20We do that by making you go head-to-head.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23The difference is, you're now allowed to confer before you give your answers
0:32:23 > 0:32:27and the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Nina and Laila, Laila, you've been here before.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- Look at that, just the confidence of Laila.- It's extraordinary.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35- Takes it all in her stride. - No mucking about.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38- She's got so many gears still to go through.- Oh, yeah.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40- Oh, yeah.- You never know, I might be in reverse.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43THEY LAUGH
0:32:43 > 0:32:45And Stefan and Rebekah.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Well done, your first, only, appearance on Pointless
0:32:48 > 0:32:49and you're through to the head-to-head.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53It all takes a bit of pressure off here because now you can chat.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57You can, to coin a phase, be there for one another, in fact.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01We can start being like a cucumber now. Cool, not long and green.
0:33:01 > 0:33:02Cool as a cucumber.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05OK, well, best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- Well, there you go. - LAUGHTER
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- People who've made appearances in Coronation Street.- Richard.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28We're going to show you five pictures of people who have appeared in Coronation Street.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Just tell us which of these is the most obscure.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Thanks, Richard.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36Let's reveal our five people who've made appearances in Coronation Street and here they come.
0:33:36 > 0:33:37We have got...
0:34:00 > 0:34:01There we are.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Five people who've made appearances in Coronation Street.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Now Nina and Laila, you will go first.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Um...Andrew Sachs, number E.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13OK, Andrew Sachs, say Nina and Laila for E.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16- Stefan, was that yours? Were you about to say that?- That was mine.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18Um...
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Yeah, the only other one I know,
0:34:20 > 0:34:22and no disrespect to anybody on Coronation Street,
0:34:22 > 0:34:24but I've never seen an episode.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27I'm so sorry. Um...
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Boyzone, but I don't know his name.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33None of those are June Whitford, are they?
0:34:33 > 0:34:35LAUGHTER
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- That's funny.- I really don't know the others.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44I know the woman who's C but I can't remember her name.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47- It's June Whitford! - LAUGHTER
0:34:49 > 0:34:52- Uh...- No...- Without Andrew Sachs, I'm stumped.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Got no idea, I don't know his name. Boyzone.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Do you want to make up a sort of Boyzone type name?
0:34:57 > 0:34:58You can make this one up.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Jonathan...Zilmont.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04LAUGHTER
0:35:04 > 0:35:06For which one? For A?
0:35:06 > 0:35:09- For A, yeah.- OK, Jonathan Zilmont.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12So we have Andrew Sachs and we have Jonathan Zilmont.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14Nina and Laila went for Andrew Sachs for E,
0:35:14 > 0:35:17let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20It's right.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27APPLAUSE
0:35:31 > 0:35:34I tell you, that phone line to the Zilmont household
0:35:34 > 0:35:37is going to be engaged for the next hour.
0:35:37 > 0:35:38Jonathan Zilmont.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Your time has come, A. Is it right?
0:35:44 > 0:35:46No.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48I'm afraid an incorrect answer, which means,
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Nina and Laila, very well done, after one question you're up 1-0.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Yeah, I'm really, really sorry. Let's go through the rest of these.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56A is not Jonathan Zilmont, he was in one of the very,
0:35:56 > 0:35:59very early versions of Boyzone but not in the later ones.
0:35:59 > 0:36:00It's Keith Duffy.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03- That was it. - Would have scored you 28 points.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05So wouldn't have seen you through.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08The best answer on the board is B.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10- Roy Hudd.- Roy Hudd.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- Gosh.- Would have scored you 24.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15C is the wonderful...
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- Patricia Routledge.- Patricia Routledge, yes.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21She would have scored you 35.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24And D?
0:36:24 > 0:36:27- Bernard Cribbins. - Bernard Cribbins, of course.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29And he would have scored you 37.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32So honestly, for British people, a very simple board.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36For anyone not in Britain, probably one of the hardest boards you could ever find.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Thank you very much indeed.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41OK, Stefan and Rebekah, here comes our second question.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43You get to answer this one first, but obviously,
0:36:43 > 0:36:46you have to win it to stay in the game, so very, very best of luck.
0:36:46 > 0:36:47It concerns...
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Groups of animals.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Yes, we're going to show you the collective nouns
0:36:55 > 0:36:57which describe different types of animals,
0:36:57 > 0:36:59but we've left out alternate letters from the names.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Fill in the gaps and give us the most obscure answer.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Thanks very much, let's reveal our five collective nouns
0:37:05 > 0:37:06and here they are.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22I'll read those all again.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Stefan and Rebekah will go first.
0:37:36 > 0:37:37Um...
0:37:38 > 0:37:41Unfortunately...
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- No, did you say that you know one? - No.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45WHISPERING
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Yeah, we're going to go for one, but unfortunately
0:37:48 > 0:37:51we think it might be a bit high, which is the gaggle of geese.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53A gaggle of geese. Gaggle of geese.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Now, Nina and Laila, do you fancy talking us
0:37:55 > 0:37:57through the rest of the board?
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Um... Sure.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Uh... I think it's a crash of rhinos.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06For some reason I think it's a condor of cats.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Ugh, owls...
0:38:08 > 0:38:09Er...
0:38:09 > 0:38:11I think we should go for the crash of rhinos, I think,
0:38:11 > 0:38:13but do you think it's crash of rhinos?
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- Don't know.- All right. - I'll leave this one to you.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24- Go on, Nina.- Crash of rhinos.- Crash of rhinos.- It's probably wrong.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27So, we have gaggle of geese, we have crash of rhinos.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Now, Stefan and Rebekah went for a gaggle of geese, let's see
0:38:30 > 0:38:32if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36It's right. Ooh, look at that.
0:38:36 > 0:38:37Ooh!
0:38:39 > 0:38:4093 for a gaggle of geese.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44Meanwhile Nina and Laila have gone for a crash of rhinos.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said crash.
0:38:51 > 0:38:52It's right, well done.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58APPLAUSE
0:38:58 > 0:38:5929. Very well done, Nina.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04After only two questions, Nina and Laila are through to the final, 2-0.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Well played, Nina. Terrific work.
0:39:06 > 0:39:07Let's go through the rest of these.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11- Do you know that top one? It's not one I'd heard before.- A chowder?
0:39:11 > 0:39:12It looks like chowder, doesn't it?
0:39:12 > 0:39:16It's not a million miles off it, it's a clowder of cats.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18And it would have scored you 6 points.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Comes from an old word meaning a jelly-like mass apparently.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23A clowder of cats. Well done if you got that at home.
0:39:23 > 0:39:28- Cobras is a quiver.- Oh, of course. - A quiver of cobras.
0:39:28 > 0:39:29Would have scored you 5.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33- And owls?- A parliament.- A parliament. - Oh, of course it is.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35A parliament of owls, despite their wisdom,
0:39:35 > 0:39:37they're called a parliament of owls. LAUGHTER
0:39:37 > 0:39:3921 points if you said that.
0:39:39 > 0:39:40Thank you very much, Richard.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44So the pair leaving us, I'm really sorry to say,
0:39:44 > 0:39:45it's Stefan and Rebekah.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48You've done so well, though. So well.
0:39:48 > 0:39:49Massive respect to the pair of you.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51It's been lovely having you,
0:39:51 > 0:39:53a real treat to have you on the show, thank you for playing.
0:39:53 > 0:39:54Stefan and Rebekah.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56APPLAUSE
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Good luck, guys.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00But for Nina and Laila, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Congratulations, Nina and Laila, you fought off all the competition
0:40:08 > 0:40:12and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy so very well done.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:40:20 > 0:40:22for your nominated charities and
0:40:22 > 0:40:25at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at...
0:40:25 > 0:40:28APPLAUSE
0:40:28 > 0:40:29Well, Laila, you've done it,
0:40:29 > 0:40:31you've done one better than you did last time.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35All the way through to the final and 2-0 in the head-to-head.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37- Yeah. That's good.- Very impressive.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40You saw off Brookside, you saw off Emmerdale,
0:40:40 > 0:40:42you've just seen off Neighbours, and here you are.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46Anything you'd like to see come up in this last round, Nina?
0:40:46 > 0:40:47Um...
0:40:47 > 0:40:50- EastEnders? - LAUGHTER
0:40:50 > 0:40:53That would be a fine thing. Laila, how about you?
0:40:53 > 0:40:54I don't care, as long as it's easy.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56- LAUGHTER - Fair enough.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58You get to choose your category
0:40:58 > 0:41:01and there'll be four categories to choose from and here they are.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15I think we should go for the actors. I think that's about as...
0:41:15 > 0:41:18As close as we're going to get, or contemporary novelists, I don't know.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20- No, I don't read a lot.- OK.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24- Let's go for alliterative actors. - OK, Richard.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27OK, take your answers from any of these three categories,
0:41:27 > 0:41:31we're looking for any feature film made for cinema release for which...
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Doris Day received an acting credit,
0:41:34 > 0:41:37for which Vince Vaughn received an acting credit
0:41:37 > 0:41:40or for which Susan Sarandon received an acting credit.
0:41:40 > 0:41:41So any feature film made for cinema release
0:41:41 > 0:41:44for which any of those three received an acting credit.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48No TV films, anything like that, but voice performances do count.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Very, very best of luck.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Thanks very much. Now, as always you've got up to one minute
0:41:52 > 0:41:54to come up with three answers and all you need
0:41:54 > 0:41:56to win that jackpot for your charities
0:41:56 > 0:41:58is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:41:58 > 0:41:59Are you ready?
0:41:59 > 0:42:03- Um, OK.- Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock, there they are.
0:42:03 > 0:42:04Your time starts now.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08- Um...- Doris Day, Calamity Jane.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Susan Sarandon... Witches Of Eastwick.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16- And Vince Vaughn...- Um... Can we go for DodgeBall?
0:42:16 > 0:42:19- You can keep guessing. - Oh, we've got a minute, oh, I see.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23- What's an older Doris Day film than...- The Love Boat?
0:42:23 > 0:42:24Erm...
0:42:24 > 0:42:25Susan Sarandon films,
0:42:25 > 0:42:28didn't she do one about a step-mother with Julia Roberts?
0:42:28 > 0:42:29We could do that.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Um... Vince Vaughn, er...
0:42:33 > 0:42:36He's done loads, oh my gosh, I can't believe I've...
0:42:38 > 0:42:39Erm...
0:42:42 > 0:42:45- Susan Sarandon.- Thelma And Louise?
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Yeah, but that would be very popular, wouldn't it?
0:42:47 > 0:42:50- Well, we've just got to keep saying them.- How about Doris Day?
0:42:50 > 0:42:54- Let's keep going back to her. - Once I Had A Secret Love.
0:42:54 > 0:42:55- Ten seconds left.- Pillow Talk?
0:42:55 > 0:43:00- That'll be very popular.- Well, we'll just keep saying them.- OK.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Uh...
0:43:05 > 0:43:06OK, that's your time up.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10I now need to know what your three answers are going to be.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12Oh, Susan Sarandon...
0:43:13 > 0:43:16- The Witches Of Eastwick. - OK, Witches Of Eastwick.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18And then two of Doris Day.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21- Which ones would you want to go for?- Um...
0:43:21 > 0:43:23Calamity Jane.
0:43:23 > 0:43:27- It's very popular though, isn't it? - But...- OK.- Well, you say your one.
0:43:28 > 0:43:32- Pillow Talk.- Right, Pillow Talk and Calamity Jane.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:43:34 > 0:43:37- I think the Susan Sarandon film. - Witches Of Eastwick?
0:43:37 > 0:43:39We'll put that last. Least likely to be Pointless?
0:43:41 > 0:43:42Calamity Jane.
0:43:42 > 0:43:44OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order
0:43:44 > 0:43:47and here they are, we've got...
0:43:52 > 0:43:54Very best of luck. Your first answer was Calamity Jane.
0:43:54 > 0:43:57You thought this was the least likely to be Pointless.
0:43:57 > 0:43:58It just came to me quick.
0:43:58 > 0:44:00Three good answers on the board there.
0:44:00 > 0:44:02Let's say one of those wins that jackpot for you,
0:44:02 > 0:44:08- what are your charities? Nina?- Mine is the National Kidney Federation.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10It's run by ex-kidney patients
0:44:10 > 0:44:13or families involved with kidney failure
0:44:13 > 0:44:16and it's basically to look after them
0:44:16 > 0:44:19throughout their dialysis and transplant etc.
0:44:19 > 0:44:22- Excellent. Laila?- Breast Cancer UK.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25Very good, excellent, two great charities.
0:44:25 > 0:44:27APPLAUSE
0:44:27 > 0:44:29Well, three excellent answers up on the board.
0:44:29 > 0:44:33Let's hope at least one of those will win that jackpot for you.
0:44:33 > 0:44:34Calamity Jane, your first answer.
0:44:34 > 0:44:36We were looking for Doris Day films.
0:44:36 > 0:44:38It has to be right and pointless for you to win,
0:44:38 > 0:44:42but for £2,500, let's find out how many people said Calamity Jane.
0:44:42 > 0:44:43Is it pointless?
0:44:47 > 0:44:49It's right.
0:44:49 > 0:44:50If this goes all the way down to zero,
0:44:50 > 0:44:54you will leave here with £2,500 for your charities.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57Calamity Jane now going down through the 20s, into the teens, 18.
0:44:57 > 0:45:00APPLAUSE
0:45:03 > 0:45:06OK, so not a pointless answer unfortunately.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08Two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:45:08 > 0:45:13Your next answer was Pillow Talk, again a Doris Day film.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15Has to be right, has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:45:15 > 0:45:19Let's find out how many people, for £2,500, said Pillow Talk.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24It's right.
0:45:24 > 0:45:28Your first answer, Calamity Jane, took us all the way down to 18.
0:45:28 > 0:45:31Pillow Talk now going down through the 20s, passes 18,
0:45:31 > 0:45:34down and 11.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36APPLAUSE
0:45:37 > 0:45:40So close, so close!
0:45:40 > 0:45:4411 for Pillow Talk so only one more shot at today's jackpot.
0:45:44 > 0:45:46Let's find out. Your last answer.
0:45:46 > 0:45:48The Witches Of Eastwick, in this case,
0:45:48 > 0:45:50we were looking for Susan Sarandon films.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54This has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot. Let's find out.
0:45:54 > 0:45:57For £2,500, how many people said The Witches Of Eastwick.
0:45:57 > 0:45:58Is it pointless?
0:46:02 > 0:46:04It's right.
0:46:04 > 0:46:09Well, Calamity Jane took us down to 18, Pillow Talk took us down to 11.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12The Witches Of Eastwick, now taking us past 18, passing 11,
0:46:12 > 0:46:13down in single figures,
0:46:13 > 0:46:15down it goes, oh, 4.
0:46:15 > 0:46:18- APPLAUSE - Oh, that's a great answer though.
0:46:20 > 0:46:22Three brilliant answers in that last round.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24Unfortunately, none of them pointless.
0:46:24 > 0:46:27You didn't find that all-important pointless answer
0:46:27 > 0:46:30which I'm afraid means you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500,
0:46:30 > 0:46:32however, as it's a celebrity special
0:46:32 > 0:46:34and each of our celebrities is playing for a charity,
0:46:34 > 0:46:38we're going to donate £500 to each celebrity pair for their respective charities.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40So very well done, we have loved having you on the show.
0:46:40 > 0:46:41BOTH: Thank you.
0:46:41 > 0:46:46And remember, you get to take home a Pointless trophy each so very, very well done indeed.
0:46:46 > 0:46:48You've been great fun, it's been terrific having you here.
0:46:48 > 0:46:50I'll take you through the pointless answers.
0:46:50 > 0:46:53I'm sure some people at home would have got some of these.
0:46:53 > 0:46:54We'll start with Doris Day.
0:46:56 > 0:46:57You could have had...
0:47:03 > 0:47:05There's more. By The Light Of The Silvery Moon,
0:47:05 > 0:47:08It Happened To Jane, you could have had Lullaby Of Broadway.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11Tea For Two, The Thrill Of It All, there's also a film I confess
0:47:11 > 0:47:14I haven't seen you could have had, called Young Man With A Horn.
0:47:14 > 0:47:15LAUGHTER
0:47:17 > 0:47:19Pointless answer, apparently.
0:47:19 > 0:47:20Vince Vaughn films...
0:47:22 > 0:47:24The follow-up to Get Shorty, Be Cool was a pointless answer.
0:47:24 > 0:47:27Mr And Mrs Smith, the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie movie,
0:47:27 > 0:47:30The Dilemma he's in with Kevin James.
0:47:30 > 0:47:32The Jurassic Park sequel, The Lost World.
0:47:32 > 0:47:35You also could have had Domestic Disturbance, Into The Wild,
0:47:35 > 0:47:37Lay The Favourite, all pointless answers.
0:47:37 > 0:47:38Well done if you said those.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41And Susan Sarandon, there's quite a few pointless answers for her.
0:47:43 > 0:47:45She's in the film of The Lovely Bones.
0:47:46 > 0:47:49You could also have had Bob Roberts, she's in Cats And Dogs,
0:47:49 > 0:47:51she's in Cradle Will Rock, In The Valley Of Elah,
0:47:51 > 0:47:55James And The Giant Peach, Little Women, Moonlight Mile, Rugrats In Paris
0:47:55 > 0:47:59or Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. Well done if you said any of those.
0:47:59 > 0:48:02Thanks, Richard. Unfortunately we have to say goodbye, Nina and Laila,
0:48:02 > 0:48:05it's been fantastic having you on the show, thank you for playing.
0:48:05 > 0:48:07You've been brilliant contestants. Nina and Laila.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10APPLAUSE
0:48:10 > 0:48:14Join us next time, when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:48:14 > 0:48:16- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
