0:00:52 > 0:00:55I was in a show called Crossroads, playing Benny,
0:00:55 > 0:00:57and I was in bed with Starry the goat.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59LAUGHTER
0:00:59 > 0:01:02APPLAUSE
0:01:03 > 0:01:04And couple number two.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I'm Rick Wakeman and I've been married lots of times,
0:01:07 > 0:01:09so I've been in bed a lot.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10LAUGHTER
0:01:10 > 0:01:13In a band called Yes for many years and a few other bits
0:01:13 > 0:01:17and pieces and now officially a Grumpy Old Man.
0:01:17 > 0:01:23And I'm Roy Wood from The Move, ELO and Wizzard, and currently touring
0:01:23 > 0:01:28with the Roy Wood Rock & Roll Band, and doing a bit of street cleaning.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- That's me. - LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Couple number three. - Hello. I'm Anna Karen.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39I was in a series called On The Buses
0:01:39 > 0:01:42and I played the glamorous and intelligent one in the cast.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44LAUGHTER
0:01:44 > 0:01:49Hello. I'm Sally Thomsett and I was in Man About The House.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53I played ditzy Jo and it was typecast.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56And also Phyllis in the Railway Children.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00APPLAUSE
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- And finally, couple number four. - Hello.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I'm Sally James and I'm probably best remembered for flinging
0:02:07 > 0:02:10flans and throwing buckets of water on Tizwas.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Hello. I'm Ed Stewart and during the '70s,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16I was one of the presenters of Crackerjack!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18AUDIENCE: Crackerjack!
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- APPLAUSE - Thank you for remembering!
0:02:21 > 0:02:25And these are today's contestants. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31If Hannibal Lecter and Albert Einstein had a child, it would be ludicrous and unbelievable,
0:02:31 > 0:02:36but this man would certainly know something about it. It's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Hiya. Hi, everybody. APPLAUSE
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Hiya.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- Good evening to you.- Oh, my goodness! You've got a moustache!
0:02:45 > 0:02:47And so have you. You look good!
0:02:47 > 0:02:52Yeah, so do you! I think you pull it off better than I do.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53I don't think I do!
0:02:53 > 0:02:57I think you look like a 1970s PE teacher who is dressed
0:02:57 > 0:02:59up for parents' evening.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04No, who has got to sit in on a geography lesson cos the geography teacher's a bit hung-over.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- He's furious about it. You've probably got a little bottle of whisky in your pocket.- Yeah, yeah.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- Yeah, you look amazing!- Yeah(!) - LAUGHTER
0:03:10 > 0:03:14I tell you what it is about these, you have to laugh like this.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17You have to go, "Ha-ha-ha!"
0:03:17 > 0:03:19LAUGHTER
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- It's quite hard to smile with a moustache, isn't it?- Yeah, yeah.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28- But anyway, what a line-up. Isn't this great? It's like our childhood's come to life.- I know!
0:03:28 > 0:03:32On the last podium, we've got Tizwas and Crackerjack.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35How brilliant is that? And Rick and Roy are both back.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38They both changed partners cos Rick came on last time with Nicholas
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Parsons and Roy, last time, was on with the real Father Christmas.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- That's right.- How about that?
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- Well, thank you very much indeed. - It's a pleasure.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50As always, our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Our contestants need to find the obscure answers
0:03:52 > 0:03:54those 100 people didn't get.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer -
0:03:56 > 0:03:59an answer that none of our 100 people gave
0:03:59 > 0:04:02and each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05As today's show is a celebrity special and our celebrities
0:04:05 > 0:04:09are playing for charity, we start off with a jackpot of £2,500.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:04:13 > 0:04:16If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23The pair with the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Remember, there is to be no conferring during the round itself.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29OK, our first category today is:
0:04:32 > 0:04:37Famous figures. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first and second?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46OK, and the question concerns:
0:04:49 > 0:04:54- Famous Sarahs, Richard. - On each pass, we're going to show you seven descriptions of famous people,
0:04:54 > 0:04:57all with the first name Sarah, or known by the first name Sarah.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Tell us the most obscure one up there, please.
0:04:59 > 0:05:0314 in all to have a got at at home. Very best of luck. 14 Sarahs to get.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Thank you very much indeed.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07OK, so remember, we're looking for the names of these famous Sarahs
0:05:07 > 0:05:09and here is our first board of seven Sarahs.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12And here they are...
0:05:35 > 0:05:37I'll read those all one last time.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Now, Madeline and Paul, you all drew lots before the show and today,
0:06:05 > 0:06:07you are going to go first.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- So, Madeline, Live And Let Die?- Yes.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Live And Let Die.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Was he nervous, Roger? - What, being in bed with me?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- No, no, no, that was his first outing as Bond!- Oh, right!
0:06:17 > 0:06:20I don't think he was nervous, no.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23He looked great. Very handsome, wonderful.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26No, he wasn't. But they'd already done a lot of filming.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29They'd almost finished all the location filming
0:06:29 > 0:06:30by the time they got to me.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I was in bed for three days with him.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35"I was in bed for three days with Roger Moore."
0:06:35 > 0:06:37It sounds like an illness!
0:06:37 > 0:06:39I hope not!
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- Now then, Madeline...- Yes. - ..we have some Sarahs.- Yes, I know.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48I think I might know the top one.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52But I might get it slightly wrong but I think her name
0:06:52 > 0:06:55was Sarah Chaplain. Is that right?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57OK. Sarah Chaplain, says Madeline.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Let's see if it's right and if it is,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- how many of our 100 people said Sarah Chaplain.- Could be Caplan.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- No, bad luck, Madeline.- Sorry. - I'm so sorry.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- I went for obscure and got it wrong. - You're not a million miles off
0:07:10 > 0:07:12but I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- OK.- It scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16I'm really sorry. Always tough on that first podium.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Yeah, sorry, Madeline.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20It really is tough to start on podium one on this show.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- Yeah, I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.- OK.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24OK, Roy.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- Yes, thank you. - Welcome back to Pointless.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28It's great to have you here. Now, listen, last time,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30with the venerable Father Christmas,
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Round Two you made it to.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34I was back in Derbyshire before closing time.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36That's how good it was!
0:07:36 > 0:07:37OK.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42Well, now, Roy, listen, one of the great proponents of prog rock,
0:07:42 > 0:07:45one of the founding members of the Electric Light Orchestra.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- ELO, yeah.- Yeah, these are big things. And obviously Wizzard.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Yeah, and The Move before that, as well.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Have there been any years in the last three decades
0:07:52 > 0:07:55when I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday
0:07:55 > 0:07:56hasn't been in the charts?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- No. That's all right, thank you. - It's every single year.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- My bank manager likes it. - I bet he does!
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Fantastic. Now, listen, Roy,
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- we have all these Sarahs lined up especially for you.- OK,
0:08:07 > 0:08:09I'd go for...
0:08:10 > 0:08:13I'll go for number two, Sarah Brightman.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Sarah Brightman played Christine in the Phantom Of The Opera.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Let's find out if that's right and if it is,
0:08:19 > 0:08:20how many of our 100 people said it.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24It's right.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26At least it's right.
0:08:29 > 0:08:3128 for Sarah Brightman. Very well done, Roy.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Well played, Roy. Good answer.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38She had a top ten hit as well with The Phantom Of The Opera,
0:08:38 > 0:08:39alongside Steve Harley,
0:08:39 > 0:08:41who would be a good answer in famous Steves
0:08:41 > 0:08:43but not a good answer in famous Sarahs.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47- Steve Harley...- Steve Harley. - ..was in Phantom Of The Opera?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50He sang Phantom Of The Opera with Sarah Brightman, yes.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- I like your one eyebrow. - I know, I'm doing a lot of that.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56It's cos we can't move our mouths.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- I know, I had to make up. - That's the thing, isn't it?
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Steve...
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- Steve Harley?- That's very good.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05THE Steve Harley, Rich?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- There we are. Well, thank you very much indeed.- Such a pleasure.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Now, then, now, between Sally and Anna,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- which of you wants to go first? - I'm going first.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- Anna, welcome back to Pointless. - Thank you.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- You were here with Laila Morse last time...- That's right.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22- ..on an EastEnders special.- Yes.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Cos you played Sal Mitchell?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- I played Aunt Sal, yes. - That's right, Peggy's sister.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30And you and Barbara, you have previous?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Oh, yes, we go back to Carry On Camping.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Yeah, you were in the famous Carry On Camping scene with the...
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- Yes.- ..with the bikini tops, there.- Yeah.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Yeah, I was billed in that as Hefty Girl.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- That was my billing.- Hefty Girl?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44"Hefty Girl - Anna Karen."
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Is that what it says?!
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Now then, Anna, what do you make of these Sarahs, here?
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Well, I know two of them. I don't know which is more obscure.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56I'm going to go for number four...
0:09:57 > 0:09:59..Sarah Ferguson.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Sarah Ferguson married Prince Andrew in 1986.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08It is absolutely right.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- Oh, 81.- Oh, no! - That's a high score.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- That's a very high score, isn't it, for Sarah Ferguson?- Yeah, it is.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Big name recognition still. But it's better than 100, Anna,
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- that's the key. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27- Now, Sally.- Hello. - Sally, we come to you.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32- Tiswas! Tiswas recently voted second only to Blue Peter.- I know!
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- We were so thrilled at that. - All-time favourite.- I know.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37But that's one of those few programmes that you watch
0:10:37 > 0:10:40and you just know that that is every bit as much fun to make.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42It was good fun. We all got on really well together.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43- Yeah.- We were a very happy little team,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45a bit like you and Richard I think.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Oh, I hope not! Oh, I really hope not.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50And when you work with someone that you get on with,
0:10:50 > 0:10:53then the whole thing is a massive success, just like this is.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54- Aw-w, thanks.- I would love that.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Wouldn't you like that?! - Wouldn't that be nice?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- I would love to work with someone I got on with.- Yeah!
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- Seriously, wouldn't that be amazing? - That would be nice.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Oh...- Oh, God, can you imagine? - Turning up to work,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- just not thinking...- And joy.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09You don't have to listen to somebody going,
0:11:09 > 0:11:10- "Gib, gib, gib, gib."- Oh, yeah.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Something or other they did yesterday
0:11:13 > 0:11:15which you're not interested in.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Now, Sally, what do you do...
0:11:16 > 0:11:20You've gone into a completely new era...era...area!
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Area, even. I have.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- Yes.- What you do now?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25I started my own business 21 years ago,
0:11:25 > 0:11:27school uniform supply.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- So that keeps me quite busy.- Wow.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- So I'm doing that but I do still get asked about Tiswas a lot.- I bet.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35I do appear on a few game shows here and there
0:11:35 > 0:11:36and I did pantomime last year.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38So I'm doing things all the time, really.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Anyway, Sally, this is your board. It's all yours.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- All mine?!- Do you want to talk us through it?- Yes.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- Fill in the blanks... - Every answer, no problem!
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- ..and then submit your favourite. - Yes. Well, I know two.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54And the ones I know are the last one from the bottom,
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Carrie Bradshaw was obviously Sarah Jessica Parker,
0:11:57 > 0:12:00which I imagine will be quite a high score.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03So I think I know number one and I hope I get it right.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06And I imagine that would be a lesser answer.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08So I'm going for Sarah Palin.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Sarah Palin. There you are, Madeline.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- She's right!- Am I? I hope so.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Let's find out if you are and if you are,
0:12:15 > 0:12:17let's see how many people said Sarah Palin.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20It's right.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- 40! - Oh, quite high.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Not bad. Not bad.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29- Well done.- Thank you.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Very well played, Sally. Unlucky, Madeline.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33You had most of the right letters,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- just not necessarily in the right order.- That's right!
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Now, let's fill in the rest of this board.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Anna, was Sarah Palin going to be your other answer?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43No, my other answer was Sarah Jessica Parker.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45OK, Sarah Jessica Parker would have been
0:12:45 > 0:12:48a much, much, much better answer.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50She would have scored you...
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- 30 points.- Oh, no!
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Yeah, it would have been a terrific answer.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56The cyclist, she's been on the show as well,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Dame Sarah Storey.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00She would have scored you 12.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03The England wicketkeeper was Sarah Taylor.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05She would have scored you three.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08And the first woman to row solo across the Indian Ocean
0:13:08 > 0:13:10was Sarah Outen.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12She would have scored you one point
0:13:12 > 0:13:14so it would have been a terrific answer.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Let's look at those scores.
0:13:18 > 0:13:1928 the best score of that pass.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Very well done, Roy and Rick. Looking very strong at this stage.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Then up to 40, where we find Sally and Ed.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Up to 81, Sally and Anna.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29And then up to 100, where we find Madeline and Paul.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32But I tell you what, you're not that far out in front.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Only 19 ahead.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38So, Paul, a low score from you at the end of the round might be
0:13:38 > 0:13:41enough to keep you in the game. Best of luck with that.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49We're going to put seven more famous Sarahs up on the board
0:13:49 > 0:13:50and here they come.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20I'll read those one last time.
0:14:43 > 0:14:48- Ed.- Yes, sir.- Stewpot, great to have you here.- Lovely to be here.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53- I watch you every day.- Welcome. We watch you every single Friday.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- Junior Choice as well.- Oh, yeah. - Ed, you're on 40.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59The highest scorers, on 100, are Paul and Madeline.
0:14:59 > 0:15:05- If you can get 59 or less, you're definitely in the next round.- Right.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10Well, I think I'll go for number one, because she is of my era,
0:15:10 > 0:15:13and I'll say Sarah Vaughan.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Sarah Vaughan, says Ed. There's your red line.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18If you go below that you're through to the next round.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Let's see how many of our 100 people said Sarah Vaughan.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30- Well done, Ed. - Keep going, Sarah! Keep going!
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Very well done indeed. Three for Sarah Vaughan.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38- APPLAUSE - Well done, you!- That takes your total up to 43. Very well done.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Well played, Ed. Terrific work from podium 4, from Sally and Ed.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Passed away in 1990, Sarah Vaughan. She's in the Jazz Hall of Fame,
0:15:45 > 0:15:48got a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, all sorts of things.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53- Thanks, Rich. Sally Thomsett, welcome to the show.- Hello.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57- Great to have you here.- Thank you. - Phyllis in the Railway Children.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- One of my all-time favourite films. - Oh, thank you.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04It was sort of like making an ordinary little children's film,
0:16:04 > 0:16:07which I'd done many of.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09And it was only after we'd made it and
0:16:09 > 0:16:13we had royal premieres and things like that, that we realised it
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- was actually quite special. - It was a massive film.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- Bernard Cribbins, who's been on the show as well.- He's divine.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22He's the nicest man in the world, isn't he?
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Just fabulous. And Lionel Jeffries wrote the screenplay.
0:16:25 > 0:16:31- Yeah, and directed.- And he directed. - It was his first film.- Fantastic.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Well, Sally, look, you're at 81.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35You're not out of the woods yet,
0:16:35 > 0:16:38because the highest scorers are Paul and Madeline on 100.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40- I thought you meant I was 81! - No, no!
0:16:40 > 0:16:45- No, no. That's your score! - Oh, sorry. - SHE LAUGHS
0:16:46 > 0:16:53I'm going to go for the actress born in Paris, Sarah Bernhardt.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Sarah Bernhardt, says Sally.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Some vigorous nodding from this end of the stage. There's your red line.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01If you get below that you are through to the next round.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Let's see if Sarah Bernhardt's right and how many people said it.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Oh, wow. There you are, 20.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Takes your total up to 101. For the moment you are the highest scorers.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24I think that's enough to see you through.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Probably the most famous actor of the 19th century, Sarah Bernhardt.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Thousands lined the route of her funeral procession in Paris as well.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33Thanks, Rich.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Rick, last time you were on you were here with Nicholas Parsons.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- I was, indeed.- You made it through to the head-to-head.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42We did and I think it was Cheese that threw us.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44It's always the cheese!
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Yeah, it was the Caerphilly that did for us at the end.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49It was a lot of fun. Nick was amazing.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50His knowledge is amazing
0:17:50 > 0:17:53and he is as bright as a button for 90-years-old.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56He is very spry, isn't he? Extraordinary.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Rick, you mentioned Yes, but you played piano on Hunky Dory.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Yeah, I did.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05I was very lucky in the '60s and '70s to play on lots of different
0:18:05 > 0:18:09people's records. I did Life On Mars and all the Hunky Dory
0:18:09 > 0:18:11and Space Oddity. I did Morning Has Broken with Cat Stevens
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- and a few others.- And you played on Transformer, as well, I think?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- Yeah, and look where I am now. - Look where you are now, see.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20It was a wonderful apprenticeship of course, it really was.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22I did about 2,000-odd records with different people
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- and you learnt from every single one, it was great.- Amazing.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Well, you are currently on 28.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31The high-scorers now are Sally T and Anna on 101.
0:18:31 > 0:18:3572 or less gets you through. I think this will be easy for you, won't it?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37No. Erm...
0:18:37 > 0:18:40There are two that I definitely knew, which are those two
0:18:40 > 0:18:44and there is one I think I know, the other three not a clue.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48I'm going to go for the comedian whose 2013 tour was entitled,
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- Home Bird. I think that's Sarah Millican.- Sarah Millican, says Rick.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52Sarah Millican.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Here is your red line, get below that and you are through to the next round.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Let's see how many of our 100 people said Sarah Millican.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02It's right.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05And, you're through, very well done, indeed.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06- 30. - APPLAUSE
0:19:06 > 0:19:08I'll take that.
0:19:08 > 0:19:1030 takes your total up to 58.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Well played, Rick, the brilliant Sarah Millican.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17It's a good show, I went to see that. It's very, very funny.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- She's funny, isn't she?- She's funny. - And lovely as well.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23- And lovely as well. - And annoyingly talented.- Yeah.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Now then, Paul, right, you know what you have to do.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- You have to score a pointless answer here, or score one.- Yeah.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Before we go any further, I do want to say a very warm,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34warm welcome to you to the show.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38I would say one of the great all-time characters from television.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41I would think if anyone had to name a character from '70s and '80s TV
0:19:41 > 0:19:46- within five nominations, they would get to Benny.- Yeah.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48It is a great achievement, what a great character
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- and what a fantastic achievement, as well.- Thank you.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52When did you start in Crossroads, '70...?
0:19:52 > 0:19:57I started in '75 and I finished in '87
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- but I never did more than six months in a year.- Oh, really?- No.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Because I didn't get any holiday pay, so I know I didn't.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05LAUGHTER
0:20:05 > 0:20:08That was nice, it gave you time to do other things, too.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10That was all great cos I used to go around the stage
0:20:10 > 0:20:13because I have done more theatre than I have done television.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16I was at the Birmingham Rep for nine years
0:20:16 > 0:20:20and so I was in the good old days of repertory theatre.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Yeah, very good.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24All right, now then, talk us through this board if you can, Paul.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26I haven't got a clue.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Sarah Bernhardt, I don't know the author of Tipping Velvet.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34I know the Sarah girl, she's got blonde hair
0:20:34 > 0:20:37but I can't think of her name, property developer.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Sarah Bingham, I'm sorry.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Sarah Bingham. Well, I think...
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Let's just say your red line is there.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48It's just invisible, it's only visible to dogs, I'm afraid.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49LAUGHTER
0:20:49 > 0:20:51It's that low.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54OK, let's see if Sarah Bingham is right and if it is let's see
0:20:54 > 0:20:56if it will get you down there, Paul.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Look, I'm sorry, not Sarah Bingham.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03It scores you the maximum of 100 points
0:21:03 > 0:21:05and takes your total up to 200.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Sorry, Sarah Bingham and Sarah Chaplin have served you ill,
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- I'm afraid, 200 points.- They have.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13You were both very close, actually, it's Sarah Palin
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- and this is Sarah Beeny.- I knew.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Would have scored you 21 points.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20It would have been a very good answer.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Now the title role in the TV series Buffy The Vampire Slayer
0:21:23 > 0:21:24was Sarah Michelle Gellar.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Quite a big score, it would have scored you 47.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Another big score at the bottom, the fifth member of Girls Aloud,
0:21:31 > 0:21:3445 points if you said Sarah Harding.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36The best answer on the board is Sarah Vaughan, which Ed got,
0:21:36 > 0:21:40a terrific answer. Next best was the author of Tipping The Velvet
0:21:40 > 0:21:43and Fingersmith, Sarah Waters. Five points if you said that, well done.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Thanks very much, Richard.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47At the end of our first round I'm so sorry to say the pair
0:21:47 > 0:21:50heading home with their high score of 200, it's Paul and Maddie.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- I'm so sorry.- We are sorry.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55It's such an honour to have two such wonderful people here.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58We have to send you away. It's ridiculous, you've only just got here.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- It's been a real treat. - We had a go.- Well, thank you.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- Thank you for inviting us. - Thank you so much.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- Thank you so much, Paul and Madeleine, lovely contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:22:10 > 0:22:13But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20And so three pairs remain. Sadly, at the end of this round,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22we will have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24I wouldn't really want to call it at this stage.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- Ed and Sally, very well done to you. - Thank you.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32Not only the lowest combined score but Ed, very well done, Sarah Vaughan the best score of the round.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33One of my favourite singers.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Great, well, very well done.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Our category for Round Two is
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- Pop Music.- Oh, no.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43It's Pop Music.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Can you all decide in your pairs who is going first, who is going second.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57OK, and the question concerns...
0:22:57 > 0:23:00..artists with multiple UK number ones.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Multiple UK number ones.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- Richard?- In a moment we're going to show you the name of four acts,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07all of whom have had multiple UK number ones.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11We're looking for the name of any number one single by any of these acts, please.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14They've 20-odd number ones between them, so plenty to choose from.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Any UK number one single by any of the four acts you are about to see.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Very best of luck.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22As Richard mentioned we're going to put four acts up on the board.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24They'll remain on the board for the whole round,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27so up the line and back down again. They won't change halfway through.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31We just need any number one single by any of these four acts.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32Good luck, here are the four acts.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44OK, Roy, we come to you first.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47I'll go with...
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Blondie, Hanging On The Telephone.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Hanging On The Telephone, says Roy.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Let's see if that's right and, if it is, see how many people
0:23:56 > 0:23:58said Hanging On The Telephone.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04That's tough, bad luck, Roy.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06I'm sorry to say that's an incorrect answer.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08That scores you 100 points.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11They had lots of number ones but not Hanging on the Telephone,
0:24:11 > 0:24:13it was number five in 1978.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Thanks, Richard. Now who wants to go first of you two?
0:24:16 > 0:24:18I will.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22The Bee Gees, Stayin' Alive.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Stayin' Alive, says Sally. Let's see if that's right.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Stayin' Alive.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- No!- No.
0:24:32 > 0:24:37It's a high-scoring round. I'm afraid an incorrect answer. Yes, scores you 100 points. Rich?
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Yes, Stayin' Alive not number one. It was number four in 1978.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45- It's going well, isn't it?- Yeah. - Very well. What we need now is a pop radio DJ to...
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Yes!
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- That's what we need.- So now, Ed...
0:24:49 > 0:24:51This has made me more nervous now.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- Everybody is expecting me to get the right answer.- Go, go.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55I think Tragedy.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Tragedy, says Ed. Let's see if Tragedy is right
0:24:58 > 0:25:01and let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05It's right! Very well done, Ed.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Seven.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12APPLAUSE
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Very well done, indeed. Seven points for Tragedy.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Well played, Ed, cometh the hour, cometh the man here. Well played.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22A number one in 1979. Steps also had a number one single with it.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Thanks, Rich, we're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28As they stand, only two scores between the three pairs.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Ed and Sally, very well done,
0:25:30 > 0:25:32seven, a very strong position to be in at this stage.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Then Sally T and Anna, Roy and Rick, you are all on 100.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39So it's going to be between you, Anna, and you, Rick,
0:25:39 > 0:25:42to see who stays with us and who leaves at the end of the round.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Best of luck, we're coming back down the line. Can the second players step up to the podium.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53OK, now, Sally, we are looking for any UK number one
0:25:53 > 0:25:57by any one of these four acts. There they are.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Now, listen, you're on seven. Ed's left you in a very strong position.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04- He's good, isn't he? I'm so glad I'm with him.- The high scorers are on 100, so 92 or less.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08OK, I think I'll go for the Bee Gees.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Erm...
0:26:10 > 0:26:12New York Mining Disaster.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- Oh, no, no, no. - New York Mining Disaster.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18- Ed looks like he's just had a slight mining disaster.- Ed looks unhappy.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20I've clearly not done well here.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22New York Mining Disaster.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Well, Sally, there's your red line.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Get below that with your mining disaster and...
0:26:27 > 0:26:29It is not going to happen, is it?
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- No.- Bad luck.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36I'm sorry.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Bad luck, takes your total up to 107.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Sorry, Sally, it's good news for anyone who's ever wanted to
0:26:43 > 0:26:45hear Ed Stewart whisper, "Oh, no, no, no, no, no."
0:26:45 > 0:26:47LAUGHTER
0:26:47 > 0:26:50You didn't hear me whisper that was their first release in this country.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- It was indeed, it got to number 12. - That's right.- Thanks, Richard.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Now then, Anna...
0:26:55 > 0:26:57How do you find this board?
0:26:57 > 0:26:58Dreadful!
0:26:58 > 0:27:00I just haven't got a clue.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Er...
0:27:05 > 0:27:07The Bee Gees, er...
0:27:07 > 0:27:09I don't know...
0:27:09 > 0:27:11I'll just say anything.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15I just have to make it up. My Heart And I, I haven't a clue.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17My Heart And I, what a nice song. It's poetic, isn't it?
0:27:17 > 0:27:19# I'm in love with you. #
0:27:19 > 0:27:21- Richard Tauber.- My Heart And I.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23My Heart And I says Anna.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25OK, here's your red line.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27My Heart And I, let's see, is it right?
0:27:30 > 0:27:33I am so sorry.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36I am sorry, Anna, an incorrect answer scores you 100 points,
0:27:36 > 0:27:38takes your total up to 200.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Yes, My Heart And I, it's a lovely love song
0:27:41 > 0:27:43about a cardiac surgeon and an optician.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45A very beautiful er...
0:27:45 > 0:27:49beautiful song.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Look at you laughing in that.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57Now then, Rick, listen, you have a target there,
0:27:57 > 0:27:59200 is the high score.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01You are on 100, you have to score 99 or less.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Er, it could be very embarrassing.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08There's two I've got in mind, one for David Bowie and one for Blondie.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11We recorded Space Oddity in 1969.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13I don't think it was a number one the first time around
0:28:13 > 0:28:17but I believe it was when it was released the second time around.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21So, on my head be it, I'll go David Bowie, Space Oddity.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Space Oddity, says Rick.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27There is your red line, if you get below that you're in the head-to-head.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28Is it right?
0:28:30 > 0:28:33It is, very well done indeed, Rick.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34Second time around.
0:28:37 > 0:28:3811.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40APPLAUSE
0:28:40 > 0:28:43111 is your total, very well done, Rick.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45That's a cool way to know something, isn't it?
0:28:45 > 0:28:48That's a very cool way to know something, playing on it yourself
0:28:48 > 0:28:51and you are right, as well. The first time it came out it got to number five in 1969.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55It was '75 when it got to number one. Very, very well played.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58That's a rare thing on Pointless for someone to get a pointless answer
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- of something they were involved with. - Absolutely.
0:29:01 > 0:29:02It's quite nice that, isn't it?
0:29:02 > 0:29:05I'll take you through some of the low-scoring answers in each category,
0:29:05 > 0:29:09starting with Britney Spears because that's the only place where there's a pointless answer.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12If you had said, Born To Make You Happy,
0:29:12 > 0:29:14that was a pointless answer for Britney Spears.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16You'd have got one point for Everytime ,
0:29:16 > 0:29:17two points Scream And Shout,
0:29:17 > 0:29:2017 for Toxic, Baby One More Time, 23
0:29:20 > 0:29:22and Oops I Did It Again, 27.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25David Bowie, Dancing In the Street would have scored two points,
0:29:25 > 0:29:27a collaboration with Mick Jagger, of course.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Under Pressure, a collaboration with Queen, six.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Let's Dance would have scored you seven,
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Space Oddity we've seen, Ashes To Ashes would've scored you 15.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- Did you play on that? That's a bit later, isn't it?- A bit later on.
0:29:37 > 0:29:42- Blondie, what would you have gone for with Blondie?- Heart Of Glass.
0:29:42 > 0:29:43And One Way Or Another.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45One Way Or Another wasn't a number one single
0:29:45 > 0:29:47but Heart Of Glass was a number one single.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50That would have scored you 25. It's the biggest score, actually.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52You could've had The Tide Is High and Sunday Girl,
0:29:52 > 0:29:54both would have scored you five points.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56You would've got six for Maria,
0:29:56 > 0:29:59which was one of their comeback singles, many years later.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02And Call Me and Atomic both would have scored you eight points.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05And the Bee Gees, best answer there, I've Got To Get A Message To You
0:30:05 > 0:30:07would have scored you one point, a great answer.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10You Win Again would have scored five, Massachusetts would have scored
0:30:10 > 0:30:12nine and Night Fever was a number one single
0:30:12 > 0:30:14and that would have scored you 16.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19So at the end of our second-round, I'm sorry to say the pair
0:30:19 > 0:30:22leaving us with their high score of 200, it's Sally and Anna.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26- Oh, dear, I'm so sorry. - So are we.- Yeah.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29It's been lovely having you back, Anna, and lovely having you, Sally.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33- Thank you so much for playing. Sally and Anna.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:30:34 > 0:30:37But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Congratulations Ed and Sally, Roy and Rick,
0:30:43 > 0:30:47you're one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- which currently stands at £2,500. - APPLAUSE and CHEERING
0:30:53 > 0:30:57We have to decide who's playing for that money for their nominated charities
0:30:57 > 0:30:59and to do that you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02You are now allowed to confer, that's the big difference.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09In our 1970s special edition of Pointless,
0:31:09 > 0:31:13- it '70s kids TV versus '70s rockers. - Yeah.
0:31:13 > 0:31:14This is absolutely fantastic.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18I think it's going to be very close indeed. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Classic 1970s Television.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32Classic 1970s Television, Richard.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36We're going to show you five stills now from classic 1970s television programmes.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Can you name the most obscure of these? Good luck.
0:31:39 > 0:31:40Thanks very much, indeed.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Let's reveal our five stills and here they come.
0:31:43 > 0:31:44We have got...
0:32:01 > 0:32:04There we are, Classic 1970s Television.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Now, Ed and Sally, you played best throughout the show so far
0:32:06 > 0:32:08so you will go first.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10SALLY: I only know B and C, do you know E?
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- What do you think E is? - I don't know.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- Right, I think we'll go, are you in agreement?- Yes.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Upstairs Downstairs with B.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25OK, B, Upstairs Downstairs, say Ed and Sally.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27Now Roy and Rick,
0:32:27 > 0:32:29do you fancy talking us through the rest of the board?
0:32:29 > 0:32:34Well, we know three, as I'm sure Ed and Sal knew the same three we did.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36A, I should know A but...
0:32:38 > 0:32:41It's... I'll know it when Richard tells us.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43C is obviously Porridge and D is Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em.
0:32:43 > 0:32:48And E, we feel we should know, but we don't.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52So we will go for D and we'll go with Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, for D. OK.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56So Ed and Sally went Upstairs Downstairs,
0:32:56 > 0:32:59let's see if that's right. If it is, see how many people said Upstairs Downstairs.
0:33:02 > 0:33:03It's right.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08- APPLAUSE - 48.
0:33:11 > 0:33:1348, Upstairs Downstairs.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Roy and Rick have said that D is Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:33:22 > 0:33:23It's right.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27- 61. - APPLAUSE.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Well, there's your answer. Ed and Sally, well done.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33After one question you are up 1-0. Richard...
0:33:33 > 0:33:34Yeah, well played.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38You all avoided C, which is Porridge, of course.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40For a show that is 35-years-old,
0:33:40 > 0:33:44it scores a very healthy 87 points still.
0:33:44 > 0:33:45Amazing.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47A is the best answer on the board.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50They made a remake of this a few years ago, Survivors.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55Survivors, one point, very well done if you said that.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58And the last one, is part of the Play For Today series, it is
0:33:58 > 0:34:01- a Michael Leigh play... - Abigail's Party.- Abigail's Party.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04That would have scored you 18 points.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Thanks very much. OK, here's your second question.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Roy and Rick, you will get to answer this one first
0:34:09 > 0:34:11but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13It concerns...
0:34:16 > 0:34:19The recipe for Coronation Chicken sauce, Richard?
0:34:19 > 0:34:23We are going to give you five lines from the original recipe from 1953 for Coronation Chicken.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26We've left out the names of the actual ingredients from each line,
0:34:26 > 0:34:30apart from the first letter of each. Can you fill in the gaps, please.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34Thanks very much, indeed. Let's reveal our five ingredients.
0:34:47 > 0:34:48I'll read those one last time.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04Now then, Roy and Rick, you will go first.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08We've been on the road a lot and eaten a lot of this kind of stuff.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11We will go for number two, curry powder.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Curry powder. Curry powder.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17OK, now then Ed and Sally.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20- The bottom one is obviously a tablespoon of oil.- Yeah.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24The third one, obviously, is three quarters of a pint mayonnaise.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28Half a tablespoon of, what is that apple, almond...
0:35:28 > 0:35:30It will be almond paste.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32- A P, almond.- That one, yeah.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36I will let the lady give us the answer.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39- Go on.- We are going to go for almond paste, please.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41You're going to go, almond paste.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44So we have curry powder and we have almond paste.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Roy and Rick have said curry powder.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49This will decide whether or not you stay with us or
0:35:49 > 0:35:50whether we say goodbye to you.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Curry powder, how many of our 100 people said that, if it's right?
0:35:55 > 0:35:57It's right.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01- 49. - APPLAUSE
0:36:04 > 0:36:0649 for curry powder.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09OK, now Ed and Sally, you have gone for almond paste.
0:36:09 > 0:36:111-2 tablespoons of almond paste.
0:36:11 > 0:36:16Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said almond paste.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Oh, it's not right. It's not almond paste.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22It's not right, what is it?
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Of course it's not almond paste.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26In Coronation Chicken?
0:36:27 > 0:36:30Very well done, Roy and Rick you're back in the game after two questions.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32It's 1-1.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Once you've seen almond paste it's impossible to see anything else.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37I think it should be in there.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41What it actually is is apricot puree.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Like that's any better, sorry.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45- Apricot puree.- I never put that in my Coronation Chicken.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49That would've scored two points. If you don't put that in your Coronation Chicken, Ed,
0:36:49 > 0:36:50you're making it wrong.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52The top one is a bay leaf.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56That would have been a good scorer, it would've scored ten.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59You're right, Sally, with three quarters of a pint of mayonnaise.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01It would've seen you into the final as well
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- because that would've scored 24 points.- I'm sorry, I've been a disaster.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07And at the bottom, one tablespoon of oil. It's a big scorer.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09It would have scored 85.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12There we are, OK, now it all comes down to our decider.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot for their charities.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Here it comes, best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Birds.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22It concerns, Birds, Richard.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25We're going to show you the names of five British game birds now
0:37:25 > 0:37:29but we have removed alternate letters. Can you fill in the gaps and give us the most obscure.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33OK, thanks very much, indeed. Let's reveal our five game birds and here they are...
0:37:47 > 0:37:48I'll read those all one last time.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58- There we are. Ed and Sally you will go first this time.- Oh, no.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Number three will be woodcock, won't it?
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Yes, very good.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10OK, shall we go for that, then? I'm not going to speak.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13I'll speak this time. She didn't bring us any luck last time.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Number three, woodcock.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Woodcock, say Ed and Sally.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Now, Roy and Rick, do you want to talk us through the rest of the board?
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- Yeah, we were going to go for woodcock.- We were, yeah.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26We reckon the bottom one is red grouse.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- And pheasant is the second one. - Yeah, erm...
0:38:29 > 0:38:33- Common, not snipe? - Is it a common snipe?
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- It could be snipe, yeah. - Or shall we go...
0:38:36 > 0:38:39Or shall we go for red grouse.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40I would go for red grouse, I would.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43We're not sure about common snipe
0:38:43 > 0:38:46and pheasant we think will be probably more than 100.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48We are going to go for
0:38:48 > 0:38:50red grouse at the bottom.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Red grouse say Roy and Rick. Woodcock versus red grouse.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55Ed and Sally said woodcock, let's see if that's right,
0:38:55 > 0:38:57let's see how many people said woodcock.
0:38:59 > 0:39:00It's right.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Keep going, keep going.
0:39:02 > 0:39:0443 for Woodcock.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06APPLAUSE
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Roy and Rick have gone for red grouse.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 said red grouse.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20It is right, obviously it has to beat 43.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Which it does, very well done, indeed!
0:39:23 > 0:39:2412.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26APPLAUSE
0:39:29 > 0:39:30Very well done.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Roy and Rick, after three questions you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Yeah, great head-to-head, very well played.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39You're right about the top one, it is common snipe
0:39:39 > 0:39:43and would have been an even better answer, it would have scored you seven points.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46I think both teams knew the next one down, pheasant.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50It would have scored you a fairly hefty 62.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52- The last one.- Yeah.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55It's got an unusual letter between the P and the A. It is a ptarmigan.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58It is a ptarmigan, that's exactly what it is
0:39:58 > 0:40:01and would have scored you 21 points.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Thanks very much, indeed.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid it's Ed and Sally.
0:40:07 > 0:40:08You've done so well throughout the show.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11That was a really exciting head-to-head.
0:40:11 > 0:40:15- I'm sorry, almond paste...- I know! I'm never going to live that down.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17I've never had that on my sandwiches!
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Ed and Sally thank you so much for playing,
0:40:19 > 0:40:21- it's been lovely having you on the show.- Thank you.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24- Ed and Sally, you've been brilliant contestants.- Good luck.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28For Rick and Roy, it's now time for our Pointless Final.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Congratulations, Roy and Rick, you fought off all the competition
0:40:36 > 0:40:38and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Very well done.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and at the end of today's show,
0:40:49 > 0:40:52- the jackpot stands at £2,500. - APPLAUSE
0:40:55 > 0:40:57I think this is entirely fitting
0:40:57 > 0:40:59because you have each been here before.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01You've come back, you've reformed as a super group,
0:41:01 > 0:41:04a '70s super group.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07It's on our special '70s show, I think it's entirely fitting
0:41:07 > 0:41:09that you should storm through to the final.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12What would really tip it off would be if you could also win the jackpot
0:41:12 > 0:41:15for your charities as well. Let's hope you can do that.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17As always, you choose your category
0:41:17 > 0:41:20and you have four options to choose from and here they come.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22You have got...
0:41:28 > 0:41:32I'm no good with chick-lit, whatsoever. I don't know anything.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Goon Films? What's Famous Vans?
0:41:34 > 0:41:36You know, transit?
0:41:36 > 0:41:38We were in bands.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42Is that famous driving vans or is that famous...
0:41:42 > 0:41:46- Or is it famous vans in films, I don't know.- We don't know.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49- I'm no good on chick-lit. - Famous Vans is so obscure.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Unless it's Vans, people,
0:41:52 > 0:41:55- like Dick Van Dyke. - Oh, man! Go on, then.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57- Shall we have a go?- Yeah.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01Probably a huge error here but we're going to try Famous Vans
0:42:01 > 0:42:04- because it's so obscure as to what it could be.- Famous Vans it is.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08- Rich?- It is not going to be like Dick Van Dyke, or anything like that.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Let's take a look at the three categories.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13The first one is, any film starring Dick Van Dyke.
0:42:13 > 0:42:14LAUGHTER
0:42:14 > 0:42:20According to IMDb. Any Van Morrison top 75 single.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Or, any team that Robin Van Persie
0:42:24 > 0:42:28scored against during the 2011/2012 season for either Arsenal or Holland.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31So any feature film made for cinema release for which Dick Van Dyke
0:42:31 > 0:42:32has an acting credit.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36Any Van Morrison top 75 single, or any team that Robin Van Persie
0:42:36 > 0:42:40scored against during 2011/2012, either for Arsenal or for Holland.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Very, very best of luck, guys.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Thanks, Rich.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47You've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54The answers you provide can come from any of these categories,
0:42:54 > 0:42:58it's entirely up to you how you spread them across the categories.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00- We just need three answers from you. Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05There they are, your time starts now.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08- We're struggling on this. We've got Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.- Yeah.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10Mary Poppins.
0:43:10 > 0:43:14I'm trying to think of what other films did he do.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17Teams that Van Persie would have scored against.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19He scored against Man City.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21- Man United he did, as well. - But everybody will know that.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24I'm trying to think of sides that were relegated that season.
0:43:24 > 0:43:28- OK.- That might be teams that people have forgotten about.
0:43:28 > 0:43:29- Bolton Wanderers.- Yeah.
0:43:29 > 0:43:30It is a thought.
0:43:32 > 0:43:36- I reckon Bolton Wanderers and Blackburn.- Blackburn.
0:43:36 > 0:43:37Oh, Blackburn would be a good one.
0:43:37 > 0:43:40If we do Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers
0:43:40 > 0:43:42and is it worth doing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
0:43:42 > 0:43:44Yeah, go on, then.
0:43:46 > 0:43:48Brown Eyed Girl.
0:43:48 > 0:43:51Van Morrison stuff...
0:43:51 > 0:43:53It's a bit weird, isn't it?
0:43:53 > 0:43:56- I can't think of one. - Ten seconds left.
0:43:56 > 0:43:59OK, shall we go Bolton Wanderers, Blackburn Rovers
0:43:59 > 0:44:01- and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? - Yeah, do that.
0:44:01 > 0:44:04- We're OK.- OK, there you are.
0:44:04 > 0:44:06Your time is now up. What are your three answers going to be?
0:44:06 > 0:44:09The amazing thing is neither of us can come up with any
0:44:09 > 0:44:13Van Morrison top 75 singles, which is a bit embarrassing, really.
0:44:13 > 0:44:15It is mad, isn't it?
0:44:15 > 0:44:16Dick Van Dyke films.
0:44:16 > 0:44:19I know that Richard is going to mention loads of obscure ones.
0:44:19 > 0:44:21We are just going to cringe when we know.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24- We'll go Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
0:44:24 > 0:44:27Teams Van Persie scored against, what we've try to do
0:44:27 > 0:44:30is think of sides that were relegated that season,
0:44:30 > 0:44:34or the last season so that's a good chance.
0:44:34 > 0:44:38- So we are going to go for Bolton Wanderers.- Bolton Wanderers.
0:44:38 > 0:44:40- And Blackburn Rovers. - And Blackburn Rovers.
0:44:40 > 0:44:43Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless?
0:44:43 > 0:44:46- Blackburn Rovers we'll put. - Blackburn Rovers we'll put last.
0:44:46 > 0:44:49- Which is your least likely to be pointless?- Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
0:44:49 > 0:44:52OK, let's pop those on the board in that order
0:44:52 > 0:44:54and here they are.
0:44:59 > 0:45:02There we are, very, very best of luck.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04Three perfectly good answers up there on the board.
0:45:04 > 0:45:07Only one of these has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot for your charities.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10If you were to win the jackpot, what are your charities.
0:45:10 > 0:45:13- Roy, what's yours?- Mine is the Birmingham Children's Hospital.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15Excellent, Rick, what is yours?
0:45:15 > 0:45:18- Mine is for the Grand Order Of Water Rats.- Very good.
0:45:18 > 0:45:20Of which I am proudly King Rat.
0:45:20 > 0:45:23Two excellent charities there.
0:45:23 > 0:45:26Let's hope one of these three answers will win that jackpot
0:45:26 > 0:45:30for your charities. OK, your first answer was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
0:45:30 > 0:45:33This was the one you thought was probably least likely to be
0:45:33 > 0:45:35pointless. You never know, it could be. It could be.
0:45:35 > 0:45:37It has to be correct,
0:45:37 > 0:45:39then it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42For £2,500, let's find out how many people named
0:45:42 > 0:45:45Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as a Dick Van Dyke film.
0:45:47 > 0:45:49Well, obviously, it's right.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51Down it goes.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53Through the 60s, through the 50s, still going down.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55Into the 30s...
0:45:55 > 0:45:5631!
0:45:56 > 0:45:58APPLAUSE
0:45:58 > 0:46:00Not bad.
0:46:00 > 0:46:03- You have just thought of another answer you could have given. - Yeah, Stoke City.
0:46:03 > 0:46:06Well, there are two perfectly good ones on the board.
0:46:06 > 0:46:08Everything is now riding on those two,
0:46:08 > 0:46:10only two shots left at the jackpot.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12Your next answer was Bolton Wanderers.
0:46:12 > 0:46:15You're not entirely sure it is correct but it's likely.
0:46:15 > 0:46:18So for £2,500, it has to be pointless.
0:46:20 > 0:46:22It's right.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24It's right.
0:46:24 > 0:46:27Now then, your first answer Chitty Chitty Bang Bang took us all the way down to 31.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30Bolton Wanderers now taking us down through the teams
0:46:30 > 0:46:32into single figures and still going down. Down it goes.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35You've done it! Very well done, indeed!
0:46:35 > 0:46:37CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:46:37 > 0:46:40Congratulations, that is fantastic. Very well done indeed.
0:46:40 > 0:46:44Well done. Superb. Brilliant!
0:46:47 > 0:46:49That is fantastic.
0:46:49 > 0:46:52Congratulations, Bolton Wanderers was a pointless answer which
0:46:52 > 0:46:55means you go home with that jackpot of £2,500 for your charities.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57Very, very well done.
0:46:57 > 0:46:58APPLAUSE
0:46:58 > 0:47:02You played so well throughout the show, what a fitting end to it all.
0:47:02 > 0:47:04Absolutely wonderful. Richard...
0:47:04 > 0:47:06Congratulations, you've been terrific right from the beginning.
0:47:06 > 0:47:10Blackburn Rovers also a pointless answer.
0:47:10 > 0:47:12APPLAUSE
0:47:15 > 0:47:17The one you thought of after your time, Stoke City,
0:47:17 > 0:47:21if you had said that, two points. It just goes to show, doesn't it?
0:47:21 > 0:47:24Let's take a look at the pointless answers in all the categories.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34Well done if you said any of those at home.
0:47:54 > 0:47:58You could have Borussia Dortmund, Northern Ireland, San Marino, Udinese, or Wolves.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:48:00 > 0:48:04- Brilliantly done in the studio, congratulations.- Thank you. - Thank you.
0:48:04 > 0:48:07Very well done, indeed. Thanks once again to our winning players,
0:48:07 > 0:48:11Roy and Rick go away with today's jackpot of £2,500 for their charities. Very well done.
0:48:11 > 0:48:14APPLAUSE
0:48:15 > 0:48:18Join us next time when we'll put more obscure knowledge to the test.
0:48:18 > 0:48:20- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22And it is goodbye from me, goodbye.
0:48:22 > 0:48:24APPLAUSE
