0:00:19 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28and welcome to this theatrical edition of Pointless Celebrities,
0:00:28 > 0:00:31the show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Let's meet today's Pointless Celebrities.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36APPLAUSE
0:00:38 > 0:00:39And couple number one.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Hello! I'm Gwen Taylor, and I'm rehearsing for a tour
0:00:43 > 0:00:48of Last Of The Duty Free with my friend Mr Barron here.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Hello. I'm Keith Barron,
0:00:50 > 0:00:52and at the moment I'm trying to be an actor
0:00:52 > 0:00:55with my dear friend here, Miss Taylor,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58and it's very, very difficult, but it's lovely to be here.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00I'll have to lie down in a minute!
0:01:02 > 0:01:03And couple number two.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06I'm Simon Callow, I'm an actor and a director,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09and I also write books, and I'm just finishing one about Orson Welles
0:01:09 > 0:01:12that I started 25 years ago.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Hello, I'm Imogen Stubbs, and I'm an actress.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18I've just finished in Strangers On A Train in the West End.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20APPLAUSE
0:01:22 > 0:01:23Couple number three.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28Hello! I'm Lysette Anthony, and I really am a pointless celebrity!
0:01:30 > 0:01:33And I'm Christopher Timothy, and I'm fairly pointless too!
0:01:33 > 0:01:35APPLAUSE
0:01:38 > 0:01:40And finally, couple number four.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Hello, I'm Simon Shepherd, I'm an actor.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46I've just finished in The Duck House in London, and I'm resting.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Hi, I'm Claire Sweeney, and I'm just about to star in a show
0:01:52 > 0:01:54that I've written called Sex And The Suburbs.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01And these are today's contestants! Thanks very much, all of you.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04We'll get to know more about you as the show goes along.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06That just leaves one more person to introduce,
0:02:06 > 0:02:07described by Her Majesty's Prison Service
0:02:07 > 0:02:09as "no longer a risk to society".
0:02:09 > 0:02:12It's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Hiya.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Hi, everybody.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Oh, that's a nice introduction. Thank you.- Isn't it?- How are you?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- I'm very well.- An exciting evening, isn't it?- I know!
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Look at the talent on stage here.- I know!
0:02:24 > 0:02:26We've got two people who've been on the show before,
0:02:26 > 0:02:28but they had very different shows.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Chris came on with Matthew Kelly, and they did very well,
0:02:31 > 0:02:33got all the way through to the head-to-head,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36but Claire on our last podium there, came on with Anthea Turner.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Oh, I was useless.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40No, to be fair, Anthea was useless.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- Definitely! - But she's traded up, I think.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45We'll see if you've traded up this evening.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48There's certainly a lot of pressure. But it should be an absolute cracker.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- What an amazing line-up. It's a real treat.- Yeah.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Also, everyone's going to be enunciating really well, I think.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55I know, yeah, no worry with delivery.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Now, we've asked every question to 100 people before the show.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02As ever, the aim of the game is to find a pointless answer,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Now, as today's show is a celebrity special
0:03:09 > 0:03:11and each of our wonderful celebrities
0:03:11 > 0:03:14is playing for a nominated charity, we start off with a jackpot of...
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29OK, the only thing you have to remember is this.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32The pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:03:32 > 0:03:33will be eliminated.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36So you have to make sure that that is not you.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Our first category today is...
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Geography!
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:03:46 > 0:03:48who's going to go second?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many countries
0:04:01 > 0:04:04with an MA in their names as they could.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Countries with an MA in their names. Richard?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10We are looking for any country in the world which has
0:04:10 > 0:04:12the letters MA in its name, please.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14It has to be consecutively, like that.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18So any country in the world with the word MA in its name, please.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20As always, by "country" we mean a sovereign state
0:04:20 > 0:04:23that's a member of the UN in its own right. Very, very best of luck.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Well, there we go. Thank you.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- Gwen, welcome to Pointless. It's lovely to have you here.- Thank you!
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Now, you didn't start out as an actress, did you?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34No, I was a bank clerk for, ooh, about ten years.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- And here you are bringing Duty Free back as a live show.- We are.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- That's exciting.- We're all a bit ancient, I have to say.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Even the director's about 75, isn't he?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46But we're going to give it a go, and it should be quite good.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Gwen, it's always hard going first, but you are going first.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- OK.- A country with MA in its name.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Camaroon.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- Camaroon, says Gwen.- It's probably M-E.- Let's see if it is M-E.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Let's see if it's right. Is it right?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04How many people said it if it is? Camaroon.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Oh, I'm sorry, Gwen, I'm afraid it's wrong.- I'm going early!
0:05:10 > 0:05:13You may not be. Anything can happen. The round is young.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16But that, I'm afraid, is wrong. It scores you 100 points. Sorry.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Yeah, sorry, Gwen, C-A-M-E, I'm afraid.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- I knew it as soon as I said it. - Very good, Gwen, anyway.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25And almost certainly won't be the last hundred of the round.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27I'm sure of it.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Thanks very much indeed. Simon...
0:05:29 > 0:05:35- Germany.- ..a warm welcome to you. - Simon, have you got somewhere to be?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Simon, I know what your answer's going to be.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44That's a good answer, isn't it? Well, we'll discover.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- All those things you listed, this book you've just written.- Yes.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Why did it take so long?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- I suppose all the other things you have to do.- No, no, no.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56It's in three volumes, and two volumes have already come out.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00And the first volume was 650 pages and the second volume was 500,
0:06:00 > 0:06:03and the last volume's 750 pages, so it's been taking a while.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05It's all gone? It's all finished?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- No, not quite. - You're dotting i's and crossing t's.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- Yes.- Now, Simon, you've given your answer. Germany.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- Germany was my answer, yes.- OK.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Let's find out if Germany's right. I'm guessing it is!
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Let's find out how many of our 100 people said Germany.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25It's right.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29APPLAUSE
0:06:31 > 0:06:3447 for Germany.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Well played. Yeah, it's got an MA right in the middle of it, hasn't it?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Just between the ER and the NY.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43If you look it up in the dictionary, there it is.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46OK, thank you very much indeed. Now then. Welcome back, Chris.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Thank you. It's good to be back.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50A head-to-header last time with Matthew Kelly.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53You were at the National Theatre under Olivier.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- I was, yeah.- That must have been a real golden age of theatre.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59It was, in my very humble opinion,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02when the National Theatre was at its absolute best.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Well, Chris, a little bit of pressure taken off you
0:07:06 > 0:07:10by the high score on the first podium, but for fun, Simon got 47.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Do you think you can get less than that with your answer?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16I'm not even sure what I'm going to say is a country. I think it is.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Ready?- Yes.- OK. Pause for laugh, and...
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- Panama. - AUDIENCE MURMURS
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Panama. OK, let's see how many of our 100 people said Panama.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26It's going to be a no.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28It is most definitely a country.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- 25! Chris, well done! - APPLAUSE
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Lowest score so far.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Yeah, very good answer, Chris.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Connects North and South America, a small land bridge between the two.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- Thank you, Richard. Simon, welcome.- Hello.- Welcome.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- You've just come off stage, I mean not literally.- Two days ago.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Two days ago, with my friend Ben Miller.- Absolutely.- And you're here.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- I'm here. - You're a slave to your craft.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- I'm mad. But I love this programme. - Oh, you are kind.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05So tell me. Ben Miller, what's he really like?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08That guy can make anyone look good. Am I right?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Simon, what are you going to go for?
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- Malaysia.- Malaysia, says Simon. Let's see if it's right,
0:08:15 > 0:08:17let's see how many of our 100 people said Malaysia.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Well, 47 is our highest correct score. You've passed that.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Oh, look at that! Down you go to 20! - APPLAUSE
0:08:29 > 0:08:32A new low score, Simon. Well done.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Another very good answer. Yeah, Malaysia.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38They've won six Olympic medals, five of them for badminton.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43We're halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45In reverse order, Simon, very well done.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Simon and Claire looking very strong on 20 at this stage.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50And up to 25, where we find Chris and Lysette.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Up to 47, where we find Simon C and Imogen.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- And then up to 100 - I'm sorry, Gwen.- I'm sorry.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Always tough going first, without exception, I'm afraid.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- Keith, it puts quite a burden squarely on your shoulders.- I know.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05But if anyone's up to the task, Keith, I think it is you.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08So best of luck with coming up with a nice, obscure country
0:09:08 > 0:09:11with an MA in its name. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Claire, welcome back. Great to have you here. On with Anthea last time.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Round One.- Yes.- Look how well you've done this time.- Fantastic.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Simon, isn't he brilliant?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Well, it was a smart move to let him go first, I think.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Well, I suppose it was,
0:09:28 > 0:09:31but I think you're going to have a good answer.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34But before you give us that, tell us about this show you're doing.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36It's called Sex And the Suburbs.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39It's a comedy that I've written with my friend Mandy Muden,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41and it started from me telling a producer
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- about all my disastrous dating stories.- Yeah.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47And he says to me, "You've got to make a show out of this."
0:09:47 > 0:09:50So I've collected all my girlfriends' stories.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54And it's a live radio phone-in, people phone in with their problems,
0:09:54 > 0:09:56and the problems come to life on stage.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Well, very best of luck with that.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01You're on 20 at the moment. If you can score 79 or less,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03you are definitely through to the next round.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05OK...
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Mauritius.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Mauritius, says Claire. Mauritius.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12OK, you want to get below that red line
0:10:12 > 0:10:14to be sure of a place in the next round.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18But is Mauritius right, and if it is, how many people said it?
0:10:20 > 0:10:21- It's right.- Yes!
0:10:21 > 0:10:22You're through.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28APPLAUSE
0:10:30 > 0:10:3247 is your total.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- You are through.- Well played, Claire. That's much better, isn't it?
0:10:35 > 0:10:38One of the richest countries in Africa, Mauritius.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Thanks very much indeed. Lysette, welcome. Lovely to have you here.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- You started off very, very early on in theatre, didn't you?- I did.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48I started out when I was ten and got so precocious
0:10:48 > 0:10:51I was shoved off to a rather strict boarding school
0:10:51 > 0:10:52immediately after we closed.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54And what was that? What were you doing?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56My parents used to put on shows.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59They did Pinocchio every year in the West End, at the Cambridge,
0:10:59 > 0:11:03and Billy Bunter shows, and my mother let me play a kitten
0:11:03 > 0:11:05and regretted it for the rest of her life!
0:11:05 > 0:11:08What an experience at age ten at the Cambridge Theatre.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Yes, I did a lot of cat acting, upstaged everyone,
0:11:11 > 0:11:14and not much has changed since, really, has it?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Well, listen, you've been set up quite well by Chris there.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21- He's been set up, and I want to apologise, Chris.- You'll be fine!
0:11:21 > 0:11:24It's fine. Let me tell you how fine it is. You have to score 74 or less.
0:11:24 > 0:11:2674 or less and you're through.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29OK.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Majorca.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Majorca. Majorca.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35We have to find out if it's right, and if it's right,
0:11:35 > 0:11:38let's see how many people said Majorca.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39There's your red line.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- Oh, I knew it. - I'm afraid an incorrect answer.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48It's not the end of the world.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50You're not that far ahead of the high-scorers at this point.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53It scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 125.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Sorry, Lysette, it's part of Spain, I'm afraid.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- It has an MA in it, though.- It does. - The MA work was terrific.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02I don't have an MA, but anyway, let's move swiftly on!
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Thank you very much indeed.
0:12:03 > 0:12:09Imogen, welcome to the show. Of all the shows we've done so far,
0:12:09 > 0:12:11you are my first relation.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- Lovely to have you here. - It's lovely to be here.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- And you've just come off stage, Strangers On A Train.- Yes.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19How do you feel when you finish a run?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Are you mostly excited about having freedom again,
0:12:21 > 0:12:25or do you really miss everyone?
0:12:25 > 0:12:26A bit of both.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28You grieve for the whole cast and everything,
0:12:28 > 0:12:31but we were in it for five months, so I'm happy to be out of it.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33And how are the two of you related?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36We're second cousins.
0:12:36 > 0:12:41My grandfather and Imogen's grandmother were brother and sister.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42That's nice.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Imogen, there you are, you are on 47.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47The highest scorers at the moment, Lysette and Chris, on 125,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50so 77 or less
0:12:50 > 0:12:52gets you through.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53OK...
0:12:54 > 0:12:55Denmark?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Denmark!
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Good theatrical country there. OK, here's your red line.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Let's see how many of our 100 people said Denmark.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07It's right.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08And you're through. Very well done.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- Down it goes. 18. Good score! - APPLAUSE
0:13:15 > 0:13:18In fact, the lowest score of the round so far.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Denmark takes your total up to 65. Well done on podium two.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Well played. That's what happens when you have a relative on.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- Best score of the round. - Yep.- How about that?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Blimey! It's true what they say about recessive genes, isn't it?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Yeah! Yeah.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Thanks very much, Richard...
0:13:34 > 0:13:35- So, Keith.- Sir.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38You were thrown a lifeline there.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40You have to score 24 or less, and if you do,
0:13:40 > 0:13:42you're through to the next round.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46- But, Keith, Duty Free, let's talk about that for a moment or two.- Yes.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47Dearly loved.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Do you think - cos we had Birds Of A Feather on,
0:13:50 > 0:13:53and they toured it and then it was picked up again.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- Like we're going to do.- Are you? - Well, we're going to tour it.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- It might be rubbish. Probably will be.- It's not going to be rubbish!
0:14:01 > 0:14:03But we don't know what's going to happen at the end.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08But it's been prompted, I think, by Birds Of A Feather.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11But it's so many years ago since we did it. I mean,
0:14:11 > 0:14:16I keep saying 35, and they all shout and say it's 27.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18What's the difference? It is a long time.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Now, what you have to do is score 24 or less with your answer.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26Well, I do have an answer. I'm not sure whether it's a country.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29It could be a county in Wales.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Sumatra.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Sumatra. There's your red line.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34If you get below that with your answer,
0:14:34 > 0:14:36you are through to the next round.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Let's see how many of our 100 people said Sumatra.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- Oh!- Oh! Perhaps I can't spell it.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50No, there's nothing wrong with the spelling, surely.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52We'll discover in a second why that's incorrect,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55but I'm afraid it is incorrect and it scores you 100 points..
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Another 100?- Yes! - I like a big score.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Went out with a bang, at least.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03- Richard?- Yeah, not a country, I'm afraid, Sumatra.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06It's an Indonesian island, it's part of Indonesia.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- I'd like to go there.- Now?
0:15:08 > 0:15:12There's no pointless answers. Let's look at the three lowest scorers.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21A couple of other low scorers, San Marino, Mauritania 5,
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Macedonia and Oman would have scored you 6,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26and Somalia would have scored you 8.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Let's take a look at the top three, the ones that most people said.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38And we've already heard the top answer, which is Germany on 47.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42At the end of our first round, I'm sorry to say
0:15:42 > 0:15:45the pair heading home, with our high score of 200, it's Keith and Gwen.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46I'm so sorry.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- It's been lovely having you on. - Thank you very much.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53You're mayfly-like. It's been far too brief.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55And, Keith, you've barely cleared your throat
0:15:55 > 0:15:56and we've got to send you home.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00I think he did it on purpose to make me feel better. I'm sure he did.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04You're going to have a wonderful year touring. Best of luck.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07And please come back and play again, when I'm sure you'll do much better.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10In the meantime, thanks very much for playing. Keith and Gwen!
0:16:10 > 0:16:12APPLAUSE
0:16:12 > 0:16:15But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22So three pairs remain. At the end of this round,
0:16:22 > 0:16:25we'll say goodbye to another pair in time for our head-to-head round.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27It's going to be a very exciting second round.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...
0:16:34 > 0:16:36There we are, Directors & Actors.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47OK, and the question concerns...
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Spielberg actors. Richard?
0:16:53 > 0:16:54On each board, we'll give you
0:16:54 > 0:16:57six characters from Steven Spielberg films
0:16:57 > 0:16:59and the initial of the actor who played that character.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01You just need to tell us the name of the actor.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Six on each board, 12 in all to have a go at at home.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05So, very best of luck.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07OK, so the actors with these initials
0:17:07 > 0:17:09who played these roles in Spielberg films,
0:17:09 > 0:17:11and here's our first board of six.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32I'll read those all again.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52Imogen?
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Liam Neeson playing Schindler.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58OK, Liam Neeson, says Imogen.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 said it.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- APPLAUSE - 47 for Liam Neeson.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Well played, Imogen. Also starring Ralph Fiennes and Ben Kingsley.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18He was Oscar nominated for that.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Thank you very much. Lysette?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Erm, Julia Roberts, Tinkerbell.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Julia Roberts. Let's see if that's right,
0:18:26 > 0:18:28let's see how many people said Julia Roberts.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36You've passed 47.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38APPLAUSE
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- Very well done. 18 for Lysette for Tinkerbell.- Well played.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Also starring Dustin Hoffman and Robin Williams,
0:18:46 > 0:18:51and also Gwyneth Paltrow as young Wendy, her second ever film role.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52Thank you very much indeed.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Now, Simon, you're the last person to have this board.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Do you fancy talking us through the board and filling in all the bits?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02I only know one that I'm sure of.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04That's Harrison Ford...
0:19:06 > 0:19:08..which is going to probably be 100 anyway,
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- but Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford. - OK, Harrison Ford, says Simon.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Harrison Ford.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19It's right.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22APPLAUSE
0:19:23 > 0:19:26It's a lot better than 100, though. 73, not bad.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Yeah, you've got to take those points if you don't know the others,
0:19:29 > 0:19:31because it is better than 100.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Now, I'm sure you can all have a go at all of these.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38John Quincy Adams, played by a very famous Welsh actor.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39- ALL:- Anthony Hopkins.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Anthony Hopkins, yep. That would have scored you 4 points.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Victor Navorski is in his film The Terminal.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Multi-Oscar-winning actor.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Anyone?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- Lysette?- Tom Hanks.- Tom Hanks, yeah.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- You put your hand up!- That's good. No-one's ever done that before!
0:19:57 > 0:19:59I like that. 16 points for that.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02And Hooper, if you look at the year the film was in,
0:20:02 > 0:20:05it was one of Spielberg's first ever big hits.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- It's Richard Dreyfuss. - In Jaws, yeah.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09That would have scored you 3 points. The best answer up there.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:20:13 > 0:20:1618, Lysette and Chris looking very strong at this point.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Then up to 47, where we find Imogen and Simon C.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Then up to 73, where we find Simon S and Claire.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Now, Claire, you have first dibs of the next board,
0:20:24 > 0:20:28so a nice, low score may be enough to keep you in the game.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29We're going to come back down the line now.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37OK, let's put six more characters up on the board, and here they come.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58I'll read those all one last time.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Claire?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16I'm going to go for the most obvious one here,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Abraham Lincoln, Daniel Day-Lewis.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Daniel Day-Lewis. Well, you're the high-scorers, so let's see.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23There's going to be no red line for you.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Let's see how far down the column you can get with Daniel Day-Lewis.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34APPLAUSE
0:21:36 > 0:21:3859 takes your total up to 132.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Yeah, big score again, but if someone else gets 100, it's the thing to do.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43They say he stayed in character so much,
0:21:43 > 0:21:46he stayed in character even whilst texting his co-stars.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Quite scary, but, yeah, I guess.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52He would tweet in four score and 60 characters.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- Thank you. Chris, you... - What?- ..are through...
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- That's very good maths, apart from anything else!- Thank you. Phew!
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Chris, you're through to the next round.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06You're through. Even if you score 100 points, which I know you won't,
0:22:06 > 0:22:09you're through.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Well, I'm not even sure it's Michael Douglas, Private Ryan.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16Private Ryan, Michael Douglas. Let's see if that's right.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18No red line for you, because you're through.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Let's see how many people said Michael Douglas.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26No. Not Michael Douglas, I'm afraid, Chris.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 118,
0:22:28 > 0:22:30but it couldn't matter less, you're through.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Sorry, Chris. I'll give you the answer at the end of the pass,
0:22:33 > 0:22:35just in case Simon wants to have a go at the same one.
0:22:35 > 0:22:40Now, Simon, this board's all yours.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43You can fill in all the gaps and do all your talking out loud.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44SIMON SIGHS
0:22:46 > 0:22:48LAUGHTER
0:22:49 > 0:22:52I'm sorry, I can't do any of them.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58I was going to say Michael Douglas. That's wrong, we know that.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- Michael Deacon... - LAUGHTER
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Michael Deacon for Private Ryan.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08Let's see if that was one of Deacon's roles.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11There's your red line.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Is Michael Deacon right?
0:23:15 > 0:23:19No. I'm sorry, I'm afraid it's incorrect.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 147.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Yeah, Michael Deacon didn't get the part, I'm afraid.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Two call-backs, as well, and nothing. Didn't get it.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Shall I tell you who it went to?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Went to Matt Damon, of all people.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Matt Damon, and that would have scored you 24 points.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Now, the top one, that's from ET.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- Drew Barrymore. - Drew Barrymore, exactly.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Would have scored you 4.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Now, TC, one of the most famous movie actors in the world.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52- Tom Cruise.- Tom Cruise, yeah. Would have scored 18.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Tintin, a great young British actor.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- Jamie Bell.- Jamie Bell.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Would have scored you 6 points. And Celie Johnson?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01It's Whoopi Goldberg. 2 points.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04That's the best answer up there, Whoopi Goldberg.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Thank you very much indeed. So at the end of our second round,
0:24:06 > 0:24:09I'm afraid the pair who are heading home, with their high score of 147,
0:24:09 > 0:24:12it's Simon and Imogen. I'm sorry.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Sorry not to give you a board you liked better.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- But will you come back and play another time, please?- Of course.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20It'd be wonderful to have you back. Thank you for playing.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- Simon and Imogen! - APPLAUSE
0:24:23 > 0:24:25But for Lysette and Chris, Claire and Simon
0:24:25 > 0:24:27it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Congratulations, Claire and Simon, Lysette and Chris,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35you're now one step closer to the final
0:24:35 > 0:24:38and the chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands
0:24:38 > 0:24:40at £2,500.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41APPLAUSE
0:24:43 > 0:24:46This is where we decide who goes to the final and plays for that money,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48and to do that you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51The only difference is you're now allowed to confer before you answer.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Well, this is, I think, going to be very, very hard-fought.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02APPLAUSE
0:25:05 > 0:25:08OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:25:13 > 0:25:16UK hit singles by the Beatles. Richard?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19We're going to show you five pictures now, all of which are visual clues
0:25:19 > 0:25:21to words in the titles of Beatles top 40 hits.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23You just need to tell us the name of the hit, please.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26We're going to give you the year in which it was a top 40 hit, as well.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28So just five visual clues.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32OK, let's reveal our five clues, and here they are. We've got...
0:25:51 > 0:25:54OK, there they all are.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Now, Claire and Simon, you've played best throughout the show so far,
0:25:57 > 0:25:59so you will go first.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06- CLAIRE:- OK, we're going to go for B,
0:26:06 > 0:26:10- Paperback Writer.- Paperback Writer, say Claire and Simon.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Lysette and Christopher, talk us through that board, if you can.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Yellow Submarine, Paperback Writer, don't know the sweet,
0:26:16 > 0:26:19don't know the coin. Is Penny To Ride one?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Was that a title?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- Let's do E. At least we've got it. - OK, E, Hey Jude.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29OK, E, Hey Jude. So, we have Paperback Writer, we have Hey Jude.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Claire and Simon said Paperback Writer, B. Let's see if it's right,
0:26:33 > 0:26:35and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38It's right.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44APPLAUSE
0:26:44 > 0:26:4528 for Paperback Writer.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Now, Lysette and Chris, you have gone for Hey Jude for E.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52Let's see if that's right,
0:26:52 > 0:26:55and if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58It's right.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03APPLAUSE
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Two good answers, but, Claire and Simon, you win that one.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- You're up 1-0. - Well played, Claire and Simon.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Let's clear up D. Ticket To Ride was the one you were thinking of,
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- but that's Penny Lane.- Of course. - Of course it's Penny Lane.
0:27:20 > 0:27:2260 points for Penny Lane.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24The big scorer is A, though.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28That's obviously a submarine, which gives you a clue to Yellow Submarine.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30That would have scored you 90 points.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35And C is a pointless answer,
0:27:35 > 0:27:38and it's Ain't She Sweet.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Very well done if you said that at home.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Thanks very much indeed. Here comes your second question.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Lysette and Chris, you have to win this to stay in the game.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49But you do get to answer it first, though. It concerns...
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Favourite foods of fictional characters. Richard?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59We're going to show you a list of foods and drinks
0:27:59 > 0:28:01and a fictional character associated with them.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04We're also going to give you the initials of that fictional character.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Can you name the characters, please?
0:28:07 > 0:28:11OK, let's reveal our foods and drinks, and here they are.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28I'll read those all again.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Lysette and Christopher will go first.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43THEY WHISPER
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- LYSETTE:- I think we'll go for the second one. Yeah?
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- Yeah.- Yeah. OK.- You say it.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54We'll go for Wallace and Gromit.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Wallace and Gromit, say Lysette and Chris.
0:28:57 > 0:29:02Now then, Claire and Simon, do you want to talk us through the board?
0:29:02 > 0:29:06- SIMON:- We were going to do Wallace and Gromit.- Yeah! Erm...
0:29:06 > 0:29:09And spinach, Popeye.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12- Duff Beer, I haven't got a clue. - I haven't got a clue.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15- I think the only one that we're sure of is...- Popeye?
0:29:15 > 0:29:20..is Popeye, which is spinach, and that's going to be very high.
0:29:20 > 0:29:21OK, you're going to say Popeye.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24So we have Wallace and Gromit and we have Popeye.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28Lysette and Christopher said Wallace and Gromit for Wensleydale cheese.
0:29:28 > 0:29:29Let's see how many people said that.
0:29:32 > 0:29:33It's right.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Ooh, look at that, 91! Whoo!
0:29:35 > 0:29:37- APPLAUSE - They're popular!
0:29:40 > 0:29:45Claire and Simon have said spinach, Popeye.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Popeye.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51- It's right. - LAUGHTER
0:29:51 > 0:29:53- 99 for Popeye! - APPLAUSE
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Whoa!
0:29:55 > 0:29:56Well done, Lysette and Chris,
0:29:56 > 0:29:59for finding such an obscure answer on that board...!
0:29:59 > 0:30:01After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Yeah, 91 is a big winning score, I have to say.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07It's very impressive. Now, let's fill in the rest of these.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10You've got lasagna, Garfield.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Would have scored you 39.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Chili dogs...
0:30:15 > 0:30:17You can fill in the gaps there. Sonic the Hedgehog.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Ah, yes!
0:30:19 > 0:30:218 points. And Duff Beer.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23- Homer Simpson.- Homer Simpson.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25And that would have scored you 69 points.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29Thanks very much indeed, Richard. I knew it was going to be close.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32I didn't think it was going to be that close! But here we are.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35It comes down to a third question. Whoever wins this goes to the final
0:30:35 > 0:30:38and plays for that jackpot for their respective charities.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:30:46 > 0:30:47Voyager 1, Richard.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50We're going to show you five clues to facts about the NASA probe Voyager 1.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Whichever team gives us the best answer will play for the jackpot.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57- Very best of luck.- OK, let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Claire and Simon, you go first.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46It's a bit of a worry for me,
0:31:46 > 0:31:48- because I didn't even know what Voyager 1 was.- No.- So...!
0:31:50 > 0:31:54- OK...- But we're going to have a go. - Good.- Yep.
0:31:54 > 0:32:01- Go on.- We're going to suggest that it was Jupiter and Mars.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05OK, Jupiter and Mars, say Claire and Simon. Jupiter and Mars.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09Now, Lysette and Christopher...
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Do you want to just talk us through that board?
0:32:11 > 0:32:13I can't remember who recorded Johnny B Goode.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16The greatest rock and roll guitarist in the world, isn't he?
0:32:17 > 0:32:22- No clues!- I'm ashamed to say. Otherwise, I haven't got a clue.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23Well, we'd better give a date.
0:32:23 > 0:32:28I'm going to give the year I was born. 1963.
0:32:28 > 0:32:33- OK. Do you want to...- Go later. - No, that's fine.- Really?- Yeah.
0:32:33 > 0:32:38- You want me to be the one that topples us.- So you're going to go...
0:32:38 > 0:32:39for the '60s.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43- Is that what you're saying?- If you think it's later, then go later.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46'70s. '70s. OK, the 1970s. You're going to go for the 1970s.
0:32:46 > 0:32:51So, Claire and Simon have said Jupiter and Mars.
0:32:51 > 0:32:52Let's see if that's right,
0:32:52 > 0:32:56and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Mars.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02No! I'm afraid not Jupiter and Mars.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04You're thinking of Fly Me To The Moon, I think.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08Anyway, Lysette and Chris have gone for the 1970s,
0:33:08 > 0:33:11the decade Voyager 1 was launched. Let's see if it's right.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13If it is, let's see how many of our 100 said it.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16All it has to be is right and you'll go through to the final.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22It's right! Very well done.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25It was indeed the '70s,
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- and 20 of our 100 people knew it. - APPLAUSE
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Chris, I never doubted you for a minute.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36I knew you were going through. Very well done.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39After three questions, it's 2-1. Well done.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Yeah, it was launched in 1977. It's still going strong.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44It was the first man-made object to leave our solar system.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47They thought it wouldn't last half the time, and it's still going now.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51In fact, it's going so far that the answer to the distance one
0:33:51 > 0:33:53is 12 billion miles.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56That's a pointless answer, so well done if you said that.
0:33:56 > 0:33:5712 billion miles away.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01The US cosmologist is Carl Sagan. That would have scored you 7 points.
0:34:01 > 0:34:06Now, the two planets, Jupiter, and Saturn was the other one.
0:34:06 > 0:34:0723 points for that.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10And Johnny B Goode, Chris,
0:34:10 > 0:34:12- is Chuck Berry.- Of course!
0:34:12 > 0:34:15- How would that have scored? - That would have scored 18.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18So the 1970s was a perfectly good answer.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So the pair leaving us now,
0:34:22 > 0:34:23I'm sorry to say, Claire and Simon,
0:34:23 > 0:34:26who've played so well throughout the show.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29It's been wonderful having you. Claire, you've done so much better.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Look at this, our low-scorers in the head-to-head round.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34You have to come back. That's all there is for it.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Thank you for playing. Simon and Claire, great to have you here.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- Thank you very much.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:34:39 > 0:34:43But for Lysette and Chris, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Congratulations, Lysette and Chris. You've seen off all the competition
0:34:49 > 0:34:52and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01- Yay! Sorry. - You now have a chance to win...
0:35:01 > 0:35:04I've never won anything! So I want to thank my mum, I want to...
0:35:07 > 0:35:11You have a chance to win our jackpot for your respective charities,
0:35:11 > 0:35:16and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £2,500.
0:35:16 > 0:35:17APPLAUSE
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Now, as always, you get to choose your category for this last round,
0:35:23 > 0:35:27and there are four options for you to choose from. We've got...
0:35:36 > 0:35:38You say what you want to do.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40- I'd like to do Goon Films. - You start, then.
0:35:40 > 0:35:41But that's because I'm so old.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44- And my dad was the announcer on The Goon Show.- Really?
0:35:44 > 0:35:47But that doesn't mean... No, no, that doesn't mean anything!
0:35:47 > 0:35:50- But what would you rather do?- Well...
0:35:50 > 0:35:52- Language of Poetry, I bet.- Yeah, I'll try poetry.- OK, let's do that.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- It's smarter.- I don't see how I can fail. Let's go.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57OK, Language of Poetry, please.
0:35:57 > 0:36:03Language of Poetry. Wow. OK, Language of Poetry it is.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Interesting choice, Christopher, if your dad was the...
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Why are we not doing the Goons? I don't understand.
0:36:08 > 0:36:13So, we are looking for words that occur in certain poems. OK?
0:36:13 > 0:36:15We're looking for words of six letters or more
0:36:15 > 0:36:17that appear in the following three poems.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Shakespeare's sonnet Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Obviously, compare and summer's we won't take.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36So any words of six or more.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Very best of luck.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Thank you very much indeed.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Now, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:36:46 > 0:36:49and all you need to win that jackpot for your charities
0:36:49 > 0:36:53is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:36:53 > 0:36:56- Are you ready?- Yes, OK.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02- In Jabberwocky, there's one word, which is fraptuous.- Marvellous.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04- Take that one.- Fraptuous. - OK, If, If...
0:37:06 > 0:37:11There must be striving, there must be, erm...
0:37:11 > 0:37:15If... "You're a man, my son," but that's not six.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18If you joined them together it would be.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Oh, God!
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Er, "How shall I compare thee to a summer's day..."
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Blank.
0:37:26 > 0:37:27If...
0:37:28 > 0:37:31Callooh callay, what rapturous joy...
0:37:31 > 0:37:32Callooh, C-A-L...
0:37:32 > 0:37:35I don't know how to spell it.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37- You think of yours, let me try and think of mine.- I've got two.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40OK, well, that's amazing.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Not if one of them's wrong.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44If...
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Something... Oh, God!
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Ten seconds left.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51"If I should..."
0:37:58 > 0:38:02OK, I'm afraid that's your minute up. I now need your three answers.
0:38:02 > 0:38:03What are you going to give me?
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- Fraptuous.- Fraptuous?- Yes.- OK.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10- Fraptuous.- That's from Jabberwocky. - Jabberwocky, yep.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- Callooh.- Callooh.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14Also...
0:38:14 > 0:38:17..from Jabberwocky.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- Can I give another one from Jabberwocky?- Please do.- Callay.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24Callay. So we've got fraptuous, callooh, callay.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27All from Jabberwocky. OK. There we are.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- Fraptuous, I would have thought. - Fraptuous we'll put last.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- Callooh or callay. - OK, we'll put callooh first
0:38:38 > 0:38:39and callay in the middle.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43OK, let's pop those answers up in that order, and here they are.
0:38:43 > 0:38:48We have callooh, callay and fraptuous.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51Callooh, callay and fraptuous.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55Well, very, very best of luck. Your first answer was callooh,
0:38:55 > 0:38:58the one you thought was probably the least likely to be pointless.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Only one has to be pointless
0:39:00 > 0:39:02for you to win the jackpot for your nominated charities.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Can I just ask what your charities are? Lysette?
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- Mind, for mental health. - Excellent. Chris?
0:39:08 > 0:39:11It's the St Wilfrid's Hospice in Chichester.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13- Excellent. Well, two... - APPLAUSE
0:39:14 > 0:39:18Two wonderful charities there. Worthy causes.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Let's hope at least one of these answers on the board
0:39:20 > 0:39:22will win that jackpot for those charities.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24As I say, callooh is your first answer.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28Let's find out if it's right and, if it is, if it's pointless.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31If it is, it will win you £2,500 for your charities.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Let's see how many people said callooh.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38It's right.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42It's right. Now, if this goes all the way down to zero,
0:39:42 > 0:39:45you will leave here immediately with £2,500 for your charities.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Down it goes. Still going down. Through single figures. Going down.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50No!
0:39:50 > 0:39:52APPLAUSE
0:39:52 > 0:39:54You're very clever!
0:39:54 > 0:40:00- It's- 1! I'm so impressed!- One person got callooh out of our 100.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02My brother. It would have been my brother.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06That is a fantastic score.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09So, disappointingly, not a pointless, though, I'm afraid,
0:40:09 > 0:40:12which means we have to move on to your next answer, which is callay.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16- HE SIGHS - I wonder if callay scored
0:40:16 > 0:40:17lower than callooh.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Let's find out if it's right,
0:40:19 > 0:40:23and if it's pointless it'll win £2,500. How many people said callay?
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Well, it's also right.
0:40:27 > 0:40:33Callooh, your first answer, went all the way down, tantalisingly, to 1.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Callay now going down through the teens and into single figures.
0:40:36 > 0:40:37Still going down. Down it goes.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40- And I'm afraid that also stops on 1. - APPLAUSE
0:40:40 > 0:40:44Oh, Chris, it's amazing!
0:40:44 > 0:40:47One more chance. Everything is now riding on your third answer,
0:40:47 > 0:40:50which is fraptuous.
0:40:50 > 0:40:51Fraptuous.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55Let's find out if that's right and, if it's right, if it's pointless.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58If it's both of those, you leave here with £2,500 for your charities.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Let's see how many people said fraptuous.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06AUDIENCE GROANS
0:41:06 > 0:41:08- Oh, I'm sorry. - APPLAUSE
0:41:08 > 0:41:10That is an incorrect answer.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16Two amazing answers there. So close.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19You didn't find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:19 > 0:41:22so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25However, as it is a celebrity special, we're going to donate
0:41:25 > 0:41:28£500 to each celebrity pair for their respective charities.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31And we have loved having you on the show. You've been absolutely superb.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Chris, head-to-head last time, through to the final this time.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36That's a great achievement. And you get a Pointless trophy each.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39- So, very, very well done. - APPLAUSE
0:41:44 > 0:41:46That's very unlucky. Quite often,
0:41:46 > 0:41:49when there's one-pointers, it's different from the ones of 100,
0:41:49 > 0:41:51but I'm guessing the person who knew callooh also knew callay,
0:41:51 > 0:41:55because it's "Callooh! Callay!" I'm assuming that's the same person.
0:41:55 > 0:41:56And fraptuous doesn't exist?
0:41:56 > 0:42:00- It's not fraptuous, it's frabjous, I'm afraid, with a B.- Ah, yes.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03It's "O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
0:42:03 > 0:42:07And frabjous was a pointless answer. AUDIENCE GROANS
0:42:07 > 0:42:09So, particularly unlucky. I'm sorry about that.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12But let's look at the pointless answers in the different poems.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15There'll be other ones you know, I'm sure.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23There's a few others. Galumphing you could have had, snicker-snack.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27You could have had Tumtum, uffish. Whiffling, as well, was pointless.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Let's take a look at If.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36"And lose and start again at your beginnings."
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Doubting, knaves, waiting.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41You also could have had broken, friends, hating,
0:42:41 > 0:42:44pitch-and-toss we'd have accepted, twisted, yourself.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46All of those are pointless answers.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Let's take a look at Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day.
0:42:53 > 0:42:58You could also have had breathe, dimmed, shines, sometime,
0:42:58 > 0:43:00so lots of pointless answers out there.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Really, really close to the jackpot. Very well played.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04That's terrific.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Unfortunately we have to say goodbye, Lysette and Chris,
