Blue Peter Pointless Celebrities

Thank you very much indeed. Hello.

I am Alexander Armstrong and a very warm welcome

to this special Blue Peter edition of Pointless Celebrities,

the show were obvious answers mean absolutely nothing

and obscure answers mean everything.

Let's meet today's players.

APPLAUSE

-And couple number one.

-Hello, I'm Tim Vincent and this...

Anthea Turner.

-And we worked together in 1873.

-Yeah.

It was tough.

APPLAUSE

And couple number two.

-I'm Janet Ellis.

-I'm Simon Groom.

We go back even further, 1066.

Oh, no, no. We were '78 to '87.

Or The Golden Years, I think they're known.

APPLAUSE

And couple number three.

Yes, I'm Peter Purves and this is Yvette Fielding.

Yes, and together combined,

15 and a half years we were on Blue Peter,

-weren't we?

-We were, we were.

-Yes.

APPLAUSE

And finally, couple number four.

Hi. I'm Barney Harwood. This is Lindsey Russell.

Lindsey is the latest presenter to join the team

and we are also The Golden Era.

-LAUGHTER

-We're starting a new one.

APPLAUSE

And these, ladies and gentlemen, are today's contestants.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thanks all of you.

We'll find out more about you throughout the show as it goes along.

So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce -

a safety net to stop us careering into infinite pointlessness.

-It's my pointless friend, it's Richard.

-Hiya.

APPLAUSE Hi, everybody. Hiya.

-Hello.

-Oh, you've got that to an art.

-Stroking a dog and speaking at the same time.

-Well, thank you.

For our Blue Peter special, they said,

"Perhaps it'd be funny if you made something out of sticky back plastic."

I said, "It'd be better if we had a dog, surely.

"That'd be the thing to do." So this is Inca.

-Do you want to come say hi?

-Well, I do want to.

-Do you want to sit on your mat?

-I like the mat.

A mat the same colour as our studio.

-Clever.

-Aw-w!

I'm just wondering if we shouldn't maybe

have Inca all the time.

-I would love to have her full-time.

-Could we have a Pointless dog full-time?

-Well, I've got you a pet as well.

-Have you?

Yeah. Inca's my pet. Here's yours.

Oh, there he is!

There he is. Look.

Oh, that's brilliant.

-That's Bungle, the tortoise.

-Bungle?

-Bungle.

-Can I? Can I?

-Yeah, pick him up.

Now, Bungle is 40 years old.

-No!

-Yeah.

-He's a handsome fellow.

-He is!

-Look at that. He's got...

-You mean he's a handsome girl.

She's a handsome fellow, isn't she?!

Look at that, she...

-Wow. Anyway, listen, I'm going to put Bungle back...

-Yeah,

-you put Bungle back.

-..just for a bit.

But what a show. What about that?!

Blue Peter presenters, we've said it before,

are just the perfect Pointless contestants

cos of the range of things you have to do.

They tend to have an incredibly good range of knowledge

-and nothing phases them, more importantly.

-It is.

-It's basically boot camp for Pointless, isn't it?

-It is.

Pointless Boot Camp, yeah. No-one's listening to us at all.

-They're just looking at the dog. That's all anyone is doing.

-Aw-w!

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

Now, as usual, all of today's questions

have been asked of 100 people before the show

and our contestants are on the hunt

for one of the all-important pointless answers

to add £250 to the jackpot.

Now, as today's show is a celebrity special,

each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity.

So therefore we start off with a jackpot of...

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

Now, the pair with the highest score at the end of the round

will be eliminated.

And remember, for the first two rounds,

there is to be no conferring.

Now, our first category today is...

Film music. Can you all decide in your pairs

who's going to go first, who's going to second.

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

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

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

Richard?

Yeah, for the BBC Sound Of The Cinema season

they did a poll of the 20 greatest film soundtracks of all time.

There's a few iconic musicals on there

but others just very, very iconic film music.

Can you name any of the 20 films that featured in that list, please.

Very, very best of luck.

The more obscure the answer,

the fewer points you're going to score.

Thanks very much indeed.

Now then, Anthea and Tim, you all drew lots before the show

and today you're going to go first. Now, Tim, welcome to the show.

-Thank you.

-Never been on Pointless before.

-I've never been. I'm a virgin.

-Yeah.

-But as we've said, Blue Peter, the perfect ground work.

-Yes, it is.

What was your favourite thing of all?

You did some very cool things on Blue Peter.

-What was your favourite?

-I think one week we made...

-Well, we flew the Tornado jet at 850mph...

-Yes!

..I met the Queen

and then I did pancakes live and was called the champion tosser.

LAUGHTER

It was a very diverse show

so you'd always be doing something different every week.

So for three years... Was it two years we did it together?

-We were two years together.

-Two years. It goes like that.

-So it's like a dog year, really. It goes very fast.

-Yeah.

Do you remember anything?

I remember the beginning and the end

-and the Queen.

-OK.

So what about these film soundtracks?

-I'm going to go for Jaws.

-Jaws, says Tim. Sounds good.

Let's see if it's right

and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Jaws.

Oh, no.

-Wow!

-Wow, Tim.

-I can't believe that.

-Wow, Tim!

-With the big cello!

-Jaws not on that list. Who can believe it?

-No!

-Really surprised at that.

-Richard?

-Yeah, it wasn't in the top 20.

That's surprising, isn't it? Are we surprised by that, Inca?

A little bit surprised.

Inca's a little bit surprised with that, as well, Tim.

Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Simon, welcome to the show.

-Nice to be here.

-Good to have you here.

What's your badge there?

Cos there are some very different badges.

This is a 50th Anniversary badge.

So we actually went to Buckingham Palace to see the Queen

and have tea with the Queen, which was a great honour.

Now, of course, I mean, Derbyshire is a big part of your life.

-Derby County football, big fan.

-Just a bit.

I've been following them since the 1960s.

So I'm actually hoping there might be, sort of, specific questions

-on Derby County Football Club.

-Well, it's the, sort of, it's the...

Kind of 1969 to 1971.

-Something fairly narrow.

-LAUGHTER

Now, Simon, music.

Tim, I thought that was a shoo-in there, with Jaws,

but evidently not.

There was a great director who started off in commercials.

His name is Hugh Hudson

and the film was Chariots Of Fire

and the music was by Vangelis.

So you're going to say Chariots Of Fire?

Let's see if that's... Oh, it must surely be on the list.

I'm not going to look at you.

Let's find out if Chariots Of Fire is right

and if it is, how many people said it.

No!

-What's on this list?!

-Well, good question, Janet Ellis.

-Quite extraordinary.

-Yeah. Well, not Jaws and not Chariots Of Fire.

Unfortunately an incorrect answer,

which scores you the maximum of 100 points. I'm sorry.

-Richard?

-That's all right.

I think they're both terrific answers

and both very unlucky they're not on the list.

I suspect we may see more 100s, don't you?

-Well, at this rate, yes. Quite a lot, I think.

-Yeah.

Thanks very much, Richard. Peter!

Now, you've got an even posher Blue Peter badge than anyone else's.

-Yes, I've got a gold one on, here. Yes.

-Ah!

I think I've got it... Two reasons.

One is that I'm still alive.

The other is probably that I survived ten and a half years

-of Biddy Baxter.

-LAUGHTER

Peter, I think you might score less than 100.

I think you're surely...

-going to have a good answer here.

-I'm hopeful.

I'm a bit worried with the last two. I could have picked either of those.

I'm going to go for a John Williams track, Jurassic Park.

Jurassic Park. There we are.

Jurassic Park, says Peter. Surely that's right.

And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Jurassic Park.

No!

How bizarre!

Rich? OK.

Well, can I just say, in my defence,

I didn't vote for this.

But all the answers are very much along the lines

of what's in the top 20, pretty much.

So you're not, like, shooting way off target.

-No.

-It's just they keep hitting the post.

Yeah. One of these will be in off.

-Barney.

-Hi.

-Welcome back to the show.

-Thank you.

Last time, here with Helen Skelton.

-Yes.

-Into the final.

-Ooh, you nearly won, as well!

-So close.

It was that question, if I remember rightly,

it was about who won Rear Of The Year, I think it was.

That's the kind of highfalutin stuff

-we tend to ask in the final, yes.

-Excellent.

-Yeah.

-Good. Can I just point out

there's a third reason that Peter Purves got the gold badge.

That's because he's a legend.

-CHEERING

-Hear, hear.

-Oh, thank you.

Hear, hear.

Now, Barney, what's been your favourite moment on Blue Peter?

Eh, there have been quite a few.

I think... When you first join Blue Peter

you have to do a series of challenges

to prove that you've got what it takes.

As part of that, I performed in a ballet.

-Yes, all right!

-LAUGHTER

I had to survive on a desert island for a few days

with an incredible cameraman who we've all worked with, Alex Leger.

He was a genius but nearly killed me.

More recently,

I did the second stage of The Tour Of Britain, on a bike.

66 miles over Ullswater.

Best thing to do it on, I'd have thought.

Yeah, it's a long walk!

It's not the best thing to do it on.

-Well, a car!

-A car would be...yeah.

This is Blue Peter.

-Let's do it in a Red Arrow, come on!

-Yeah.

So yeah, lots of favourites.

Best job in the world. Everyone here will agree.

You don't know what you're going to be doing

but you know it's going to be awesome.

Have you covered film scores?

I know a lot of film scores.

And I'm surprised the last two weren't in.

But I think there's a classic that people have missed here.

-It has to be there. If it's not, we have to just go home now.

-Yeah.

One of the best theme tunes ever written...

The Great Escape!

The Great Escape. The Great Escape, says Barney.

Please be right.

And if it is, let's see how many people said The Great Escape.

No! No!

-What?!

-Shall we all just go home?

I'm afraid that is the fourth incorrect answer.

-Richard?!

-LAUGHTER

Oh, yeah. The next pass is going to be awesome.

-Yeah, no Great Escape either.

-No Great Escape either.

-Yeah, I don't know what to say.

-Yeah.

OK. Well, listen, we're halfway through the round.

Let's take a look at those scores.

LAUGHTER

Just one between you.

It's...

It's 100, then 100, then 100...

It's all quite close at the moment.

So yes, it could go either way.

Best of luck to all four pairs.

We're going to come back down the line.

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

-OK. I think we all know what we have to do now.

-Yeah.

It's name some very, very obvious films with famous scores.

Now, Lindsey, welcome. Welcome to Pointless.

Great to have you here. You auditioned.

-Yeah.

-You auditioned sort of publicly.

It was an open audition.

So, I mean, people on the X Factor just have four judges.

-You had millions of judges!

-Yeah.

-Well, I think something like 23,000 people applied.

-Yeah.

And so I just didn't think anything of it.

And I was doing my university exams at the time.

So I just kind of applied and then forgot that I'd really done it.

-Yeah.

-And then got a few call-backs and then got voted in.

-Wow.

-How's it going?

-Yeah, really good. Really well, thanks. Scary.

It's overwhelming. It's a big job to get

but it's been really good fun.

Now then, Lindsey,

be the first person to get a correct answer in this round.

-I've got a weird answer in my head...

-No, don't do it!

-No?

But they've all gone for good answers that have been wrong.

-Yeah, perhaps that's the thing to do, is go for a...

-Go for a weird one.

-Yeah.

I think Titanic might be in there.

-Titanic.

-It went down well the first time.

-LAUGHTER

-My Heart Will Go On.

-Shoosh, Barney!

-Let's find out.

Titanic, is it right? And if it is, how many people said it?

No!

-What?

-I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,

scores you the maximum of 100 points. I shouldn't worry.

I think we're going to be doing this round for a long time.

-Yvette.

-Hello.

-Welcome to the show.

Now, of course, since leaving Blue Peter,

you've sort of moved into the paranormal. The paranormal!

-The paranormal. Mwa-ha-ha-ha!

-Most... Yeah, exactly.

-Ghosthunting.

-Yes.

-And Most Haunted.

-Yes.

Any contacts in the spirit world

-maybe might be able to help you now?

-I'm sensing...

-Yes!

-..some strange people around me.

-LAUGHTER

-Yeah.

-Yvette.

-Yes.

-Please, a correct answer. I beg of you.

I've got two ideas. What shall I do?

-Shall I go for the really obvious one?

-I suppose, yeah.

-OK, Star Wars.

-BARNEY:

-Yeah, it's got to be on there.

Star Wars, says Yvette.

Get ready, Richard. I'm going to come to you for some facts!

The highest scorers at this stage are Lindsey and Barney on 200.

You're on 100.

A score of 99 or less sees you comfortably into the next round.

Let's see if you can get below that red line.

-Yes!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Star Wars is correct, Yvette. Down it goes.

Still... 15!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Fantastic!

The spirit guides have led you well, Yvette.

15, that scores you. Takes your total up to 115.

Very well done. Richard, Star Wars?

Number one on the list, Yvette. Very well done.

Sees you safely through. Yeah, it's won five Oscars.

John Williams has been nominated for over 40 Academy Awards.

Doesn't surprise me.

-We've finally found one!

-Yeah, we found one.

We finally found one.

We found one. I thought Inca was going to have a go at some stage.

-Inca would do really well.

-Yeah, of course.

Thanks very much indeed.

Now then, Janet, that's how we do it.

The high scorers on 200, Lindsey and Barney.

You're on 100.

Again, 99 will save you.

Janet, it's lovely to have you back.

-Nice to be back, thank you.

-You were on with Andy last time.

-I was, yeah.

And round two.

You won't remember what the question was that you tripped on?

Well, I do but it was about music and there's that, sort of,

some of the family's business that I don't want to repeat it, really.

Have you had an idea at the back of your mind

and you've just kept revising it as each...

Oh, yeah, cos I'm thinking a soundtrack is also a musical,

isn't it? So I am going to go

for The Sound Of Music.

The Sound Of Music, says Janet.

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

There's your red line, right at the top of the column.

How many people said The Sound Of Music?

It's right!

The world loves me!

26. Very well done indeed, Janet.

APPLAUSE

You're through. 126, your total.

Yeah, well played, Janet. That won five Oscars. You all right?

That won five Oscars, The Sound Of Music,

including Best Picture.

-Of course it did!

-This is better, isn't it?

-I'm glad someone's got something.

-Oh, yeah.

-I thought you meant better cos Inca's just wandered off.

-Oh, Inca.

Inca?

Someone in the audience has produced a bone.

I can't believe it!

I thought we checked for these things.

Now, Anthea, welcome back.

-Thank you.

-Round one last time, with Claire Sweeney, I think it was.

-It was not good.

-No.

I'm just thinking of your amazing Tracy Island make on the show.

Well, that has to be the highlight of my Blue Peter career.

And do you know, I still have it.

I have it in a box in my loft.

The original, well, the one I made on the show.

And hundreds of thousands of people all wrote in to ask for it,

-didn't they?

-Oh, gosh, yes.

-I went to Tracy Island workshops around the country!

-Wow.

I can still make that!

Now listen, Anthea,

the high scorers on 200 - Barney and Lindsey over there.

I feel sorry for Barney and Lindsey.

Cos we all learnt through them...

-What not to do!

-They're our sort of sacrificial lamb over there

and we've all benefited at this end.

-Anyway...

-OK then, I am going to go for Grease.

-Grease.

-Yeah.

-What you think, Tim?

-I think we've got a chance.

Well, there is your red line. You only have to get below that.

-Right.

-It just has to be correct. Let's find out. Grease, is it right?

And if it is, how many people said it?

It's the one that we want!

That was corny, I know but...

It's right! Very well done.

Look at that! 16.

16. Takes your total up to 116.

You are through to round two. very, very well done indeed.

-Grease is the word.

-Yeah, it is indeed.

-It is.

-Well played, Anthea.

-That second round was better than the first, wasn't it?

-Yeah.

-But there's some very unusual films on this list.

-I bet there are.

There's only three pointless answers overall on the top 20.

Who voted? Can we ask?

-Was it just punters?

-Yeah, Radio Two listeners.

Oh, Radio Two listeners. Ah.

-But they tended to be big cinefiles, I think.

-OK.

So there's perhaps films you wouldn't recognise

because the Sound Of Cinema season

-was quite a...quite highbrow.

-Yeah. Right.

-I think.

Although Grease was number eight on the list.

Let's take a look at the three pointless answers.

-The Dark Knight Rises was a pointless answer.

-What?!

Django Unchained and Fellini's 8 1/2.

We'd have been here a long time before anyone said 8 1/2, I suspect.

-Oh, my word.

-We really would!

-Low scorers -

Planet Of The Apes would have scored you one.

Lawrence of Arabia would have scored you one.

The Bollywood film Sholay would have scored you one.

Vertigo and The Third Man both would have scored you two.

And the top three...

We've just heard the top three, actually.

No Bond in there. No Jaws, no Indiana Jones.

Indiana Jones?

Superman? ET?

Murder On The Orient Express?

Keep going.

I could! Dr Zhivago.

None of these were in there?

I thought you were going to say Nuns On The Run there... LAUGHTER

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

So at the end of our first round,

I'm afraid the pair heading home with their high score of 200,

Lindsey and Barney.

I can't believe we're saying goodbye to you.

You were, I think,

-everyone's hot favourite to go through to the final.

-We were ready.

-You'll just have to come back.

-We will.

-We'd love to.

We'll look forward to that very much.

In the meantime, thank you so much for playing,

Lindsey and Barney.

APPLAUSE

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

And so, just three pairs remain

and it remains a very, very open contest.

Very close between the first and third desks, there.

Anthea and Tim on 116, Peter and Yvette on 115.

And Simon and Janet were on 126, I think it was.

But tough round. But well done.

You all managed to find at least one right answer,

which is some achievement. Anyway, best of luck to all three pairs.

Our category for round two is... Easier!

Sorry.

Languages. Can you all decide in your pairs

who's going to go first, who's going to go second?

And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.

OK, and the question concerns...

Richard?

Yeah, on each pass, we're going to show you the names

of six sports or hobbies in foreign languages.

We just need you to give us the English translation of these, please.

There's going to be 12 in all to have a go at home.

Some are obvious, some very much less so. Good luck.

Thanks very much indeed.

So we are looking for the English translations

of these sports and hobbies.

And here's our first list of six.

ALEXANDER READS THE LIST ALOUD

Apologies to anyone who's from any of those countries!

I'll read those again.

There we are. Six hobbies.

What are you going to go for, Anthea?

Oh, I don't know!

Oh, God!

They're not all hard.

Can we go back to soundtracks?!

French.

-Yes.

-Is that stamp collecting?

-Which one?

-I don't know!

The fourth one down.

The one that says French.

Not the old peach at the bottom.

-La philatelie?

-Yes.

-You're going to say is...

-I'm going to say stamp collecting.

For la philatelie. Let's see that's right

and how many of our 100 people said stamp collecting.

-It is stamp collecting.

-Oh, gosh!

38.

APPLAUSE

38 for stamp collecting.

Yeah, absolutely, stamp collecting.

Very well played. Good start to round two.

-I'm sweating. I'm sweating!

-Better than round one, certainly.

It's one of those that when you hear it read out,

easier than when you just see it written down, I think.

Janet, which of these hobbies from Europe,

or European versions of our hobbies,

or just hobbies in European languages

would you like to go for?

I'm not sure enough of the...

Spanish and...

I'm pretty sure on the German

but I think a lot of other people might be too.

But I'm going to go for la peche,

which I think is fishing.

La peche, fishing, says Janet.

Let's see if that's right and if it is,

let's see how many of our 100 people said fishing for la peche.

It's absolutely right. 38 is our highest and lowest score.

And you've passed that.

30! Very well done, Janet.

-Good answer.

-APPLAUSE

30 for la peche.

Yeah, absolutely right.

In 2013, PC Matt Bryant caught a carp in Berkshire

-that was four and a half stone.

-Wow!

-PC Matt Bryant?

-Yeah, good lad. Eh?

-How did he...

-How did he get it out?

-How did he get it out?

I mean that's massive. That's like...

fishing a ten-year-old out of a pond.

He's a policeman.

Yeah, I know but still!

If a policeman can't carry a fish

-then things have come to a pretty pass.

-I know but...!

Getting something that weighs, you know,

-the weight of something that's wriggling around...

-Yeah.

-..out of water...

-Oh, I'm so sorry. He had a rod.

Sorry, I assumed you knew that.

But even if you had a net, that's like...

Yeah, Annette was there as well.

So there were two of them so perhaps that helped.

-Annette!

-OK.

Peter, you're the last person to have this board.

If you like, you could talk us through it. You could...

Well, I think I know

two of the remaining ones.

I think das tischtennis might be something like badminton.

La pallavolo I would guess as being

something like water polo but I don't know.

The other two, though, I think I've got slightly stronger.

El alpinismo is probably skiing.

Just to make sure we've got a reasonable score

I'm going to try with il ciclismo as cycling.

Il ciclismo, cycling, says Peter.

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

It's right.

38, our highest score. 30 our low.

Well, you've passed both of them.

-22. Very well done indeed.

-Oh, that's brilliant.

APPLAUSE

Il ciclismo is indeed cycling.

Well played, Peter.

And a good risk to take actually

cos some of those other ones weren't correct.

Das tischtennis, well, German...

-tisch is German for table.

-Oh.

So it's table tennis.

It would have scored 53 points.

La pallavolo - not water polo.

-It's volleyball.

-OK.

And that would have scored you two.

Now, el alpinismo, I thought exactly the same.

I thought, "I bet that's skiing." It's not.

It's a pointless answer.

-Any idea?

-No.

-Snowballing?

-JANET:

-Mountaineering.

Mountaineering. Yeah, Janet is right.

Mountaineering. And very well done if you said that.

-It would have been a pointless answer.

-Wow.

-Thanks.

We're halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores.

Best score of that pass, Peter, very much yours. 22, very well done.

Then up to 30, where we find Janet and Simon.

Up to 38, Anthea and Tim.

So, Tim, we need a low score from you.

You'll be the last person answering off this board so, yes,

I hope there's one there for you and a nice low one you know.

Best of luck. We're going to come back down the line.

Could the second players step up to the podium.

OK, let's put six more sports or hobbies up on the board

and here they are.

I'll read that one last time.

Remember, we are looking for the English translations

of these sports and hobbies.

And you're going to try and find the one

you think the fewest people knew.

-Yvette, you're our low scorers on 22.

-Oh!

The high scorers on 38, Tim and Anthea.

Should you score 15 or less,

you would avoid becoming our new high scorers.

OK.

Well, el boxeo has to be boxing.

-OK.

-Oh, am I not allowed to say that?

-You said it.

-I'm afraid I'm going to have to take that

-as your answer!

-No! I don't want you to take that!

Well, listen, you're our low scorers. This is probably going to be fine.

-It's going to be really high.

-Do you want to check with Inca if that's a good idea?

Inca, is that a good... Really?

Not a good idea? She went...

-Yeah, you've got to take it.

-I've got to take that.

There's your red line.

Get below that, you're through to the Head to Head.

El boxeo, is that boxing?

And if it is, let's see how many people said it.

82.

APPLAUSE

Ooh, Yvette, I'm sorry.

Ooh, that takes your total up to 104.

-Yeah, a big score for el boxeo, perhaps unsurprisingly.

-Yeah.

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

Er, Simon. Simon, you're on 30.

Yvette and Peter are our high scorers on 104,

which means 73 or less gets you through.

I have this Pythonesque sense of humour and das Bungeespringen -

I have this image of a man in lederhosen with a hat and a feather

and probably a pint of Pils, jumping off something, bungee jumping.

I would imagine a lot of people went for that.

I'm afraid I have to take the answer you've given -

that is the one you were intending to give?

-No, no. No, it's not. I'm just saying.

-Ah.

Well, I'm afraid I have to... The thing is...

LAUGHTER

Here is some... I've got some good advice for everyone -

don't give any answers apart from the one you want to give.

Let's find out if Bungeespringen is indeed bungee jumping

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

There's your red line. It's not... You might get below that.

Then you'll spring back up again.

LAUGHTER

It's right.

And you've done it! Very well done.

-42.

-APPLAUSE

Well done!

42 takes your total up to 72, Simon.

You're home and dry.

Well done, Simon. Yeah, a good answer, das Bungeespringen.

Er, the first commercial bungee-jumping place

opened in New Zealand in 1988.

I bet everyone on Blue Peter must have bungee jumped at some point.

-Even Peter.

-We weren't allowed to.

-I bottled it.

Not allowed to?

-Insurance was too high.

-Yeah.

Has nobody here bungee jumped?

-JANET:

-You had insurance?!

-Yeah.

LAUGHTER

Health and safety came in when we arrived.

Yeah, we never had that.

I can't believe that nobody from Blue Peter has bungee jumped.

I stood on the precipice in, um...

New Zealand and I bottled it and said, "No, I can't do it."

-JANET:

-Good. I think that's sensible.

-Sensible.

-ANTHEA:

-And nobody went, "Boop!"?

-YVETTE:

-They were very tempted to push me.

-LAUGHTER

-Can I just say, talking of jumping,

that my very modest co-presenter, Janet...

How many free-fall parachute jumps did you...?

We had this conversation the other day.

Well, I did about... 20-something free-fall.

And the last one, for about a week,

I was the, um, British Civilian (Female) Free-fall Champion.

-For a week!

-For a week! What about that?

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-It was just a week.

But it was only a week.

Now then, Tim. Moment of truth.

65 or less sees you into the head-to-head.

It's a hard one, cos I was going to go for bungee jumping.

The French one will be gardening,

but that's going to be a high answer.

But at least I know it's probably correct.

I don't want to risk it.

I'm going to have to go for the... for gardening.

You're going le jardinage?

-You say it so much better than me.

-You do.

Um, well, let's see. There is your red line.

Get below that, you're through to the head-to-head.

Le jardinage - gardening.

Is it right? How many people said it?

It's right.

Ooh, you've done it!

-35.

-Wow.

-Yes!

APPLAUSE

35 takes your total up to 73.

-Wow.

-73 for...

Yeah, very well played on that last podium.

Let's fill in the rest of this board.

La natation. You might have done that at school.

-Swimming.

-Swimming, yeah. Would've scored you 19 points.

La lucha libre.

Is that rum and Coke?

LAUGHTER

-It sounds delicious, doesn't it?

-Yeah.

No, some people would have got this, cos it's a certain subculture.

-It's wrestling. It's freestyle wrestling.

-Oh, right.

In Spanish. Would've scored you three points.

And la scherma in Italian...

is a pointless answer.

Very well done if you said fencing.

-Wow.

-I don't know who, other than a native Italian speaker,

would have known that, but that's what it is.

Well, thank you very much indeed, Richard.

So, at the end of our second round, I'm afraid the pair heading home with a high score of 104,

I'm really sorry, Yvette and Peter,

and I know that was because I had to take an answer you didn't want to give.

-What was the one you would have gone for?

-The wrestling.

HE GASPS

Really?! Oh, no! Will you please come back, though, and play again?

-We'd love to.

-That'd be wonderful. We'd love to have you back.

Thank you so much for playing. It's been lovely having you here.

Yvette and Peter.

APPLAUSE

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

Congratulations Anthea and Tim, Simon and Janet.

You're now one step closer to a chance to play for our jackpot

which currently stands at £2,500.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Now we have to decide who is going to play for that money in the Pointless final

and to do that you are now going to go Head to Head.

The great news is, Anthea, you are now allowed to confirm.

-It's going to make a world of difference.

-Thank you.

And the first player to win two questions will be playing

for that jackpot for their nominated charity.

Very, very best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the Head to Head.

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

Cartoon animals, Richard?

We're about to show you five pictures of cartoon animals.

All you need to do is name them and name the most obscure.

Thanks very much indeed. So let's reveal our five cartoon animals

and here they come. We have got:

There we are. Five cartoon animals.

Anthea and Tim, you've played best in the show so far

-so you get to go first.

-Can we talk about...?

Don't talk, don't mention anything apart from the one you want to go for, remember.

-Yeah, we'll go for A.

-A.

You're going to go for A,

and you can provide a name for the one you were going for, obviously.

-Dogtanian.

-Dogtanian, say Anthea and Tim, Dogtanian.

Now, then, Simon and Janet.

-Do you want to talk us through all the others?

-Well, there's Snoopy.

-The one, C, what do you think C is?

-I'm struggling.

It's obviously more obscure than the others. Slightly sinister.

Slightly sinister, but that's not his name.

I think that's Wile E. Coyote, is it, the other one, E?

We'll just have to go for D being Snoopy, and that's...

I can't think of the name of B.

OK. D, Snoopy. Anthea and Tim said Dogtanian for A.

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

It's right.

37 for Dogtanian.

-That's all right.

-That's OK.

Simon and Janet have said Snoopy for D.

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

87, which means after one question in this exciting Head to Head

in our Blue Peter special,

Anthea Turner and Tim Vincent have gone up 1-0.

Yeah, big score for Snoopy, but two good answers.

-Seeing another dog has frightened Inca off again.

-Yeah, well...

It happens, doesn't it? Snoopy is a terrifying-looking creature.

Now B, Janet, actually wouldn't have won you the point.

It's Woody Woodpecker. It would have scored you 49.

C is the giraffe, of course, from the Madagascar films,

voiced by David Schwimmer. What's his name? Know that? Melman.

Melman would've scored five points.

And E would have been another good answer.

From the Ice Age films, that is Scrat.

Scrat would have scored you 13. So Melman, the best answer up there.

-Well done if you said that.

-Thanks very much indeed.

So on to your second question. Now Simon and Janet, you will get to answer this one first

but you have to win this one to stay in the game.

Best of luck to both players. Our second question today concerns:

-Friends, Richard.

-I'm going to show you five clues now

to facts about the US sitcom, Friends.

Just give us the most obscure answer, please.

Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five clues and here they are. We have got:

I'll read those all one last time.

There we are. Five clues to five facts about Friends.

Simon and Janet go first.

-You know any facts about this?

-Well, it used to frustrate me

because I used to go down my local Blockbuster to try

and find a decent film and all there was was rows and rows and rows

and rows of Friends videos and sadly I never took any of them out.

Don't say an answer then.

I have to say, Sophie will kill me for not knowing the rest of these

because it was her favourite programme for years

but the coffee shop is Central Perk.

Central Perk, say Simon and Janet.

-Now Anthea and Tim, talk us through the rest of the board.

-OK.

Well, we know that, so that was the only one we definitely know.

I think it's coming up to something like 10 years, a celebration,

anniversary, because there's talk about them getting back together but I might have that wrong.

-The actress who played Chandler's father...

-Was it a model?

-He dated a model.

-That was Elle Macpherson.

Days Of Our Lives, the soap opera.

The year in which the final episode was transmitted is the only one

that we're going to stand a chance on here.

I would go the same as you, 2004. This is a guess.

It is a stab in the dark but we're going to go 2004.

2004, the year of the final episode.

So Simon and Janet have gone for Central Perk.

Let's see if Central Perk is right,

and if it is, how many people said it.

It's right.

Not enough.

45, that might be good enough. Being correct and all.

Anthea and Tim, I have no idea.

Anthea and Tim have taken a massive punt here

and you've said 2004, the year of the last episode being transmitted.

Let's see if that's right. If that's right,

there's a good chance that will win you the point.

Let's find out. It has to be right.

It is right.

Wow. And, yes, it wins the point. Down it goes.

Very, very well done.

Very well-deduced, which means, Anthea and Tim,

after only two questions, you are through to the final, 2-0. Very well done indeed.

Very nicely worked out, Tim. That's very well played.

-Watched by 50 million people in the US, that final episode.

-15?

-50.

-Oh, 50. That's OK.

-Not bad.

-That's only 7 million less than we get daily.

-Yeah, yeah.

You could have gone for the soap opera as well, Tim.

-What did you think it was?

-Days Of Our Lives?

-It was.

It would have scored you 30 points,

so it would have been a very good answer.

-That's a real soap opera, isn't it?

-It is, in the States.

The coffee shop manager, everyone can picture him,

but do you know his name? He's been in more episodes

than anyone else apart from the six main members of the cast.

-And he is Gunther.

-Oh, Gunther!

And he would have scored 27 points,

and the actress who played Chandler's father was...

-Kathleen Turner.

-Kathleen Turner, yeah.

And she would have scored you 11 points.

So 2004 is actually the best answer on the board.

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

So the pair leaving us at the end of the Head to Head, I'm afraid,

it's Simon and Janet. Oh, dear, that was really tough.

Head to Head really didn't help you at all.

-I thought those cartoon animals were very hard.

-They were.

My grandsons are now going to kill me, so I can't go home!

-That's it, basically!

-We'll go for a beer.

Sophie, with Friends, you've got it every which way, haven't you?

-No-one's going to kill Janet, are they?

-No-one ever would.

It's been wonderful having you both on the show. Thank you for coming along. Brilliant.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

But for Anthea and Tim, it's now time for our Pointless final.

Congratulations, Tim and Anthea. You fought off all the competition

-and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.

-I know!

Very well done. You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot

for the charities of your choice. At the end of today's show,

the jackpot stands at £2,500.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Now, as always, you kick this round off by choosing the category you want to answer on.

Here are your choices. They are:

-Royal Family? We'd be OK at that, wouldn't we?

-We might be all right.

-We met a couple of those along the way.

-I met the Queen once.

She might be pointless, she might be.

Spice Girls, we're not bad on the Spice Girls.

We'd be all right, wouldn't we?

I think the British Royal Family, we may have more of a wider option.

And Edinburgh, brilliant city but I'm not sure...

To be honest, the Royal Family was our gut reaction

-and I think we should go with it.

-We're going for the Royal Family.

OK, they are going to go with the Royal Family, Richard.

We're going to give you three different chances here.

Choose anything from these three categories.

We are looking for anyone who has had the title, the Princess Royal.

Seven different princesses have held that since it first came into being.

We are looking for any of the given names,

first names or middle names, of any of the Queen's three sons,

so any of their first names or middle names.

Or we're looking for any cast members of The King's Speech.

Anyone with a credited appearance in The King's Speech according to IMDb.

Very, very best of luck.

As always, you've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.

To win that jackpot, only one of those answers has to be pointless.

The answers you provide can come from any of these categories.

It's up to you. They could all come from the same category if you like,

or it could be one from each, two from one - it's entirely up to you.

-Are you ready?

-All right then.

Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.

There they are. Your time starts now.

The cast members of The King's Speech.

Geoffrey Rush, Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter.

You can tell the job that Tim does.

Names of the Queen's sons, we've got Andrew...

We haven't got to go for very obvious ones, though, have we?

There's always an Albert somewhere hanging around.

Names of the current Queen, we're presuming.

Well, Princess Anne is the most obvious,

-but then our Queen was once a Princess Royal.

-Oh, OK.

-So we'll go for Queen there.

-Or Margaret, is it Margaret?

OK, we'll go for Margaret there.

And we'll go for Geoffrey Rush in The King's Speech. That's two.

I feel like I want to throw an Albert in or something like that

-because I don't want to go for obvious.

-Is it the current Queen?

-We're presuming it's the current Queen.

-Who was Princess Royal?

Well, name of the Queen's sons.

Yeah, the names of the Queen's sons, the current Queen. So I don't know.

-But that's pretty obvious, isn't it? Andrew, Charles...

-10 seconds left.

So who else do you think on Princess Royal? We've got Princess Margaret...

I think Princess Margaret and obviously Princess Anne.

-OK, and then we'll do Geoffrey Rush for The King's Speech.

-OK.

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

-What are you going to give me?

-We're going for Geoffrey Rush.

-Definitely.

-Geoffrey Rush from The King's Speech.

-Can we throw in an Albert?

-Throw in an Albert, by all means.

For one of the names of the Queen's sons.

And let's go for Princess Margaret.

You think Princess Margaret was a Princess Royal.

So those are your answers. Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?

I think Geoffrey Rush because everyone will thought of Colin Firth,

-Helena Bonham Carter.

-Geoffrey Rush is your best answer?

-Yes.

-You want to put that last?

Which is your least likely to be pointless?

There's always an Albert, isn't there? There's got to be.

Or maybe the Princess Royal.

-Basically, we're not really sure.

-We don't know. We're 50-50 here.

Let's put Princess Royal, Princess Margaret. Shall we put that first?

-OK, then.

-Princess Margaret, Albert.

There's always an Albert. And then Geoffrey Rush. Phew!

OK, let's put those answers on the board in that order and here they are. We have got:

Very, very best of luck. Your first answer was Princess Margaret.

Now this was the answer you thought was probably the least likely

to be right. Princess Margaret as a former Princess Royal.

Now, if you win the jackpot today, what are your charities?

Who are you playing for, Anthea?

My charity is called Oasis,

and your charity?

My charity is hearing dogs, which I'm an ambassador for.

They train dogs, which can cost up to £50,000 per dog

-to aid and assist people who have hearing difficulties.

-Very good.

Two wonderful charities.

APPLAUSE

Very, very best of luck.

Let's hope at least one of those answers is pointless.

OK, so we are looking for the name of a previous Princess Royal

or the name of any Princess Royal.

There have only been seven throughout history.

Margaret was your least confident answer.

Let's see if that's right in the first instance

and in the second, if it is pointless.

Only one answer has to be pointless for you to win the £2,500 jackpot.

Let's find out how many people said Margaret. Is it right?

No! Bad luck. An incorrect answer.

-Evidently not.

-No!

-So not a pointless answer.

You only have two more shots at today's jackpot.

Your next answer, the one you thought, actually, no,

you were pretty much 50-50 between these two, weren't you?

-Your next answer was Albert. This was a bit of a punt.

-Yeah.

You said there's always an Albert.

We're looking for one of the names of any of the Queen's sons.

This has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot so for £2,500,

let's find out how many people said Albert

as the name of one of the Queen's sons.

You're right. It's a correct answer!

You said there was always an Albert and it turns out there is.

Your first answer, Margaret, was incorrect.

Albert is now taking you down into single figures. Down it goes!

-Oh, very well done indeed.

-Wow.

-Well done, Anthea.

-There's always an Albert and there is an Albert.

Only one more chance to win today's jackpot.

That this was the one you were most confident in.

Your third and final answer,

we were looking for anyone who was credited in The King's Speech film.

Your answer was Geoffrey Rush. Let's find out if that's right

and if it is, let's find out for £2,500 how many people said it.

Is it a pointless answer?

It's right.

So your first answer, Princess Margaret,

was an incorrect answer as it turns out.

Your second, Albert, took us all the way down to five.

10 for Geoffrey Rush.

Oh, bad luck. Two very good answers there. And a good guess.

I'm afraid you didn't manage to find the pointless answer, though,

which means you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500.

However, as it is a celebrity special, we are going to donate £500

to each celebrity pair for their respective charities

so there you are. Something to take home,

-with your pointless trophy, of course.

-Thank you.

And we've really loved having you on the show. Thank you so much.

-Played so well. What about that, Richard?

-A really good attempt with Albert.

Margaret wouldn't have been Princess Royal,

it tends to be the eldest daughter of a monarch.

-Although our Queen wasn't Princess Royal.

-Oh, right, OK.

-She was my second.

-For various reasons.

There's only one pointless answer on that category,

let's take a look at what that was.

Charlotte would have been a pointless answer on that category.

Princess Charlotte. Anne was a Princess Royal, Mary,

you could have had Princess Mary, Victoria was a Princess Royal.

And Louise also would have scored you one point.

Let's take a look at the middle names.

Albert is part of Andrew's name

and he is Andrew Albert Christian Edward.

And Christian would have been a pointless answer.

And Edward is Edward Anthony Richard Louis,

and Richard would have been a pointless answer as well.

Very well done if you said that as well. Low scorers.

Anthony would have scored one point, Albert and Louis five.

So Albert was very low down on that list. Very well played.

And The King's Speech, there's loads of pointless answers.

-Most of the pointless answers are there.

-I've just remembered one.

-Guy Pearce.

-Guy Pearce scored ONE point.

-Oh!

So I'm very, very glad you didn't say that.

Anthony Andrews, who plays Stanley Baldwin in the film,

Tim Spall who plays Churchill scored one point, Claire Bloom,

who plays Queen Mary, she would have been a pointless answer.

Derek Jacobi would have been a pointless answer.

He's got two knighthoods, Derek Jacobi, from Britain and from Denmark.

That's quite classy, isn't it? And Jennifer Ehle,

who played Geoffrey Rush's wife in the film,

all of those were pointless answers. Well done if you said those at home.

-Tough luck in the studio. You've been brilliant throughout, so well played.

-Thank you.

Thanks, Richard. Well, unfortunately we have to say goodbye to you,

but we've really loved having you on the show. Thank you both so much for playing so well. Brilliant.

It's been fabulous. Thank you.

APPLAUSE

Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge

-to the test on Pointless. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

And also goodbye from Inca and goodbye from Bungle.

And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
