Morning TV Pointless Celebrities

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

and welcome to this special morning television edition

of Pointless Celebrities, the show that makes big winners

out of the lowest scorers.

Let's meet today's Pointless Celebrities.

APPLAUSE

And couple number one.

Hello, I'm Kate Garraway, and for 15 years,

I've been Richard Arnold's straight man at an ungodly hour of the morning.

And I'm Richard Arnold, and I don't believe I've ever played it straight

at that time in the morning. LAUGHTER

Or indeed, any other time!

APPLAUSE

Couple number two.

I'm Matthew Wright, I've been presenting The Wright Stuff

on Channel 5 for the last 14 and a bit years,

and I look really hot in a bikini. LAUGHTER

I'm Fern Britton and I have been a daytime presenter,

I'm now a writer, and I don't look hot in a bikini.

LAUGHTER

APPLAUSE

Couple number three.

I'm Naga Munchetty, I'm a BBC Breakfast presenter

and I have nothing funny to say. LAUGHTER

I'm Charlie Stayt, and I'm also a BBC Breakfast presenter.

APPLAUSE

And finally, couple number four.

Hello, I'm Natasha Kaplinsky.

We were the Breakfast presenters before this lot,

and a long-term friend of Mr Murnaghan.

And yeah, I'm Dermot Murnaghan and I'm now a news presenter

and quiz show host.

AUDIENCE: Ooh. Ooh.

APPLAUSE

And these are today's contestants. Thank you very much, 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.

He's been on the show so long, he remembers

when all this studio was just fields.

It's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Hi, everybody.

Evening.

Ah. Good evening. So, Richard. What? Good evening.

Oh, I know what you're going to say. What?

Haircut. LAUGHTER

I like it a lot. You like it?

Isn't this strange? So we're doing a morning television version

of a daytime television programme, and it's on Saturday night primetime.

That's a bit weird, isn't it? Now, it's very interesting,

cos all of these people are consummate professionals.

All done lots of live television.

I think that's the first time we've ever had four lots of introductions

without ever having to do one retake. They were ace. Absolutely fantastic.

I'll tell you another first.

Mm-hm? See your trousers. Yeah, you can see... LAUGHTER

No, I'll tell you another first - trousers.

I'm wearing trousers, yeah. It is a first.

Yeah, I'm wearing trousers, I've got pastries, I've got tea.

Would you like a cup of tea? Oh, I really would. Just what I need.

There you go. That's nice, isn't it? Mm, isn't it?

We've got two people who have played Pointless before. We've got Kate,

who did very well - she's been in a final before now. She has.

So, Richard, you're in good hands there.

Charlie did less well when he came on. LAUGHTER

So, Naga, I think you've got your work cut out.

But, you know, obviously Dermot is going to win,

because he's a quiz show host. Mm.

And the one thing we know about quiz show hosts is they know everything.

Yeah, they know all the answers... We know nothing.

..to everything. Well, we're about to find out. LAUGHTER

Thank you very much, Richard. Now, as usual, all of today's questions

have been put to 100 people before the show.

Our contestants here are on the lookout for those all-important pointless answers,

these being the answers that none of our 100 people gave.

Each time that happens, we will add ?250 to the jackpot.

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

we start off with a lovely bumper jackpot of ?2,500. There it is.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

Now, all you have to remember is that the pair

with the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.

Simple as that. You just have to do everything you can to make sure

you're not that pair. Best of luck to everyone.

Our first category this evening is...

Look at that. It's Mountainous Regions. It's Mountainous Regions. Oh, my...

Could you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go 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 gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

countries higher than the UK.

Countries higher than the UK. Richard?

Yeah, the highest point in the UK is Ben Nevis.

We're looking for any country in the world whose highest point

is higher than Ben Nevis, please.

So any country in the world whose highest point is higher

than the highest point of the UK.

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

Richard, welcome to Pointless.

Thank you so much, Xander. Great to have you here.

You should be perfectly equipped for Pointless, surely?

All that showbiz, all that razzle-dazzle.

Was it always showbiz with you, Richard?

Did you do other areas of the news?

No. I think it's fair to say I never came to current affairs.

And I was under the impression this was a daytime show, and yet I'm seeing the entire team,

with the possible exception of my dear friend Fern, has been hewn from current affairs.

So I'm a little bit nervous.

So yes, jazz hands, bit of glitter and spangle -

you know I'm your man, Xander, for that.

I do. I do. LAUGHTER

Now, Richard. What are you going to go for, Richard?

I'm going to say South Africa.

South Africa? South Africa, says Richard.

Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said South Africa.

It's right.

That's a good answer. Down it goes, 13. APPLAUSE

Very well done indeed, Richard. What a great start to the show! Well done! Well done.

Brilliant. 13 for South Africa.

Well played, Richard. Very good start.

Very tough on that first podium to come up with a good answer -

did exactly what you needed to do. Thanks very much indeed.

Now, Matthew, welcome to Pointless. It's great to have you here.

Nice to be here. Now, you started off

in the inky world of print journalism, didn't you? Yes.

Before you went... Before you broke into morning television. Yes.

What was your biggest scoop? Biggest scoop?

Fake chat show guests on a daytime TV show, bizarrely. LAUGHTER

Yeah, that was probably the biggest.

So yeah, some good scoops along the way.

So, Matthew, mountains. Mountains, Matthew.

I'm very lucky -

I do motorcycle tours in Asia and I've been to Bhutan

and I would think Bhutan is higher than the UK. Ooh!

Bhutan, says Matthew. Let's see if it's right,

let's see how many of our 100 people said Bhutan.

It's right.

Well, 13 is our only score so far. Bhutan...

knocks it off its perch. 3! APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Very well done indeed, Matthew! Well done!

Very well done indeed, Matthew. 3.

Yeah, the Gangkhar Puensum, as you will well know. It's 7,500 metres.

That's a lot.

Wow! Thank you very much indeed.

Now, Charlie. Welcome back.

Now, listen, before you went into journalism,

you had a whole range of jobs. You were a barman, a roadie... I was.

Yes. Who were you a roadie for?

Well, amongst my many claims to fame,

I was once Norman Wisdom's bucket man.

On stage. I had to carry on... There was a point at which he needed

the bucket of water and I took it on.

Someone has to. And he was a childhood hero of mine, so... Yeah.

So, Charlie, mountains. Yes. Mountains. Mountainous countries.

I'm going to choose Peru.

Peru, says Charlie. Peru. Let's see if that's right

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

It's right. Well, 13's our high, 3 is our low.

Ooh, it's not bad! 16! Look at that! Not bad at all!

APPLAUSE A new high.

A new peak.

Yeah, Huascaran, which is nearly 7,000 metres.

Dermot, welcome. Thanks for having me.

How nice to see the pair of you there together.

Once part of the team on BBC Breakfast. Reunited. Reunited.

Who was the...better... The chirpier of a morning? Always Natasha.

Oh, I don't know about that. She sprang out of bed.

Or sprang out of her car... LAUGHTER

..onto the sofa.

We weren't together!

LAUGHTER

OK.

You know what I mean.

So, there's another scoop for you, Matthew.

LAUGHTER

Now, Dermot, mountains.

I'll say Japan.

Japan. Let's see if that's right

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

It's right.

A long time hesitating there.

Not bad at all. 14. APPLAUSE

14 - not the highest score, Dermot.

Well played, Dermot. Very good answer.

Finally, a mountain I can actually pronounce, Mount Fuji,

highest mountain in Japan. There you go. That's nice. Yeah.

Now, OK. We're halfway through the round, so let's take a look at the scores as they stand. 3, Matthew. 3.

Very, very strong as contenders for Round Two.

Then up to 13, quite a hike, Richard and Kate.

Up to 14, Dermot and Natasha.

And then 16, you're not way ahead,

but Naga, let's have a nice low score from you.

We're going to come back down the line. Good luck with that.

Will the second players step up to the podium?

OK, so, Natasha, remember we're looking for any country whose

highest point is higher than the highest point in the UK.

Now, Natasha, is it true that you started out doing a show with

Sacha Baron Cohen? It is indeed, yes. You did, didn't you?

And I can tell you he was quite a dangerous co-presenter to work with.

I bet he was. I do remember one particular day,

somehow he managed to get our guest to take off all of their clothes

at five o'clock in the afternoon, live.

LAUGHTER

Natasha, listen, you're on 14.

The high scorers at the moment are Naga and Charlie on 16, so a score

of 1 or less, for example, will definitely keep you in the game.

So there's no pressure(!) Yeah.

I'm playing for Save The Children tonight

and I've travelled quite a lot with them.

And I'm going to go for...

Rwanda.

Rwanda, says Natasha. Rwanda. There is a red line for you there.

It's just only visible to dogs. So, um...

If you can get below that with Rwanda, you are definitely

in the next round. Let's see how many people said Rwanda.

It's right.

Well, our lowest score so far has been 3.

Rwanda...

It's pointless! Look at that! CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Natasha, very well done indeed! That's a pointless answer!

It adds ?250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to ?2,750.

It scores you nothing, leaves your total at 14 and sees you

oh so comfortably into Round Two. That is exemplary play, Natasha.

That's brilliant. Everyone's very clever, aren't they? Aren't they?

A breath of fresh air, isn't it?

Mount Karasimbi is the highest mountain in Rwanda.

Of course, famous for their mountain gorillas in Rwanda, as well.

Yes, thank you very much indeed, Richard.

Now then, Naga.

You have interviewed a whole host of people over the years.

I was going to ask you who's been the most awkward person to

interview, but I think that's going to be awkward for you.

Who's been your favourite? Let's do it that way round. Favourite, Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton.

Interviewed her a couple of months ago

and very, very interesting woman.

Yes. And although she's absolutely very tough and very focused,

she's very warm and a very lovely person.

That was the impression I got.

That kind of comes over, actually, doesn't it?

Now then, Naga, you are the high-scorers,

so let's have a nice low score from you.

We'll try Uruguay.

Uruguay, says Naga. Let's see if that's right.

No red line for you, as you're the high scorers,

but let's see how many of our 100 people said Uruguay.

AUDIENCE MOANS

Oh, no, Naga!

I'm so sorry.

That's an incorrect answer - scores you 100 points

and takes your total up to 116.

Yeah, sorry, Naga. It's a valiant effort.

It's only 500 metres at the highest point in Uruguay.

Scarcely even worth writing about(!)

Thank you very much indeed. Pleasure.

Now, Fern, welcome. Thank you.

Now, you've written lots of books.

You've written five novels, every single one of which has been on

the Sunday Times Best Seller list.

You must be very disciplined? Yes.

Being at home is great because you just fall out of bed, you can write

in your pyjamas, drink lots of tea -

almost as good as that - lots of chocolate biscuits,

pick the kids up. That's it, done. Lovely.

Lovely job. Now, great news - you're through to the next round.

I'm going to go for one that I know definitely, anyway.

OK. Cos I want to see where it is. And it is Tanzania. OK, Tanzania.

No red line for you - you're already through.

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

It's right.

Our lowest score so far has been a pointless answer.

And that is almost pointless!

Second-lowest score!

Second-lowest score of the round, Fern, what about that?

Takes your total up to 5.

Well played, Fern. Amazing score on podium two there. Very impressive.

Of course, Mount Kilimanjaro is in Tanzania. Exactly.

And so, Kate... Yes. You must exude something of the morning about you

because - no, bear with me - you're on breakfast time telly.

That is the thing people say, "Ah, Kate Garraway - morning person."

I hope to high heaven that that agrees with your body clock.

I think it sort of has to now cos it's about 20 years at the BBC

and Sky and then ITV.

Yeah, so... I know.

I can't get past 10:30, basically.

I'm not going to ask what happens! Just collapse!

You go on Smooth - that's what you do. I do go on Smooth Radio, yeah.

Wonderful. Now, Kate, there you are on 13.

Doesn't matter what you score, you're through.

May be another pointless answer in there.

OK, well, I'm playing today for Save The Children and I recently went

on a trip there with them to look at maternity services in Ethiopia.

So I'm wondering if it's Ethiopia.

Ethiopia. No red line for the lovely reason that you are through.

OK, let's see how many of our 100 people said Ethiopia.

It's right.

If this goes all the way down to zero,

we'll add another 250 quid to the jackpot.

It's another pointless answer! That's wonderful, Kate!

Very well done indeed. Exactly what I asked of you.

That adds another ?250 to today's jackpot,

takes the total up to ?3,000.

It's a second Save The Children pointless answer.

Well done to both of you there.

Scores you nothing, leaves your total at 13. Fabulous answer.

Yeah, well played, Kate, terrific answer.

Terrific answers from everyone.

Uruguay's the only wrong step and that's Uruguay's fault

rather than Naga's fault, I think.

Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.

This is harder without a swivel chair.

Uganda - an old Pointless favourite.

Vanuatu - that's got a big mountain in it.

Let's take a look at the three most popular answers,

the ones that most of our 100 people said.

That's a good answer, isn't it? Mm. Doesn't often finish that high up.

And right at the top...

Very good. Thank you, Richard. So, at the end of our first round,

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

I'm sorry to say, Naga and Charlie, it's you.

Please come back and...win.

We'll try. That would make us all very happy.

Thanks very much. Naga and Charlie - excellent, excellent players.

APPLAUSE

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

Now we are down to three pairs. At the end of this round I have to say

goodbye to another pair in time for our head-to-head.

The good news is I have got plaudits to throw around. Well done, Natasha.

Well done, Kate. Two individual high points there.

Very, very well done. It's great to have you all here.

Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two today is...

OK, can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second,

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

OK, and the question concerns...

TV Winners, Richard.

On each board we're going to show you six sets of names.

Each of those sets have won

a particular TV talent show or reality show.

Just need you to name that show, please. Very best of luck.

OK. We are looking for the show on which these people were winners.

And here's our first board of six.

ALEXANDER READS NAMES

I'll read those again, quicker.

OK, Richard, you know all of these answers.

Um...Edd Kimber, John Whaite, Frances Quinn -

Great British Bake Off.

Great British Bake Off, says Richard. Let's see if that's right

and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said Great British Bake Off.

It's right.

Very well done, Richard.

That's a very good answer. Look at that - 9 for Great British Bake Off.

Great start to the round, Richard.

Well played, Richard. Edd Kimber was the winner of the very first series.

Yeah.

Thank you, Richard. Now, Fern. Mm.

So, I'm going to go for the top one,

Craig Phillips, Kate Lawler, Brian Belo - Big Brother.

Big Brother, says Fern. Let's see if that's right and,

if it is, how many people said Big Brother.

It's right.

25 for Big Brother.

Very good answer, Fern.

Craig Phillips the winner of the first series of that one.

Thank you, Richard. Now, Dermot.

You're the last person to have this board. Why not talk us through it?

So we got Paul Potts, Diversity -

Britain's Got Talent. And at the bottom is The X Factor.

David Sneddon and Alex Parks, isn't that Fame Academy or The Voice?

Ooh, shall I have a punt?

Nah, I've got to go safe. I'll go, um...

The X Factor at the bottom. OK, The X Factor, says Dermot.

Let's see if that's right,

let's see how many of our 100 people said The X Factor.

It's right. 25, our high score.

Until now.

56. Not bad, though, Dermot.

As damage limitation goes,

that's pretty good. 56 is a lot better than 100.

Yeah, although Britain's Got Talent would have been a better answer.

That would have scored you...

42 points. Fame Academy for David Sneddon, Alex Parks

would have been an even better answer.

Cos it's absolutely right and would have scored you 2 points. No!

Oh, well done. Unlucky.

And this other one is a pointless answer.

Does anyone know that one? Britain's Next Top Model?

Yeah, Britain And Ireland's Next Top Model. Absolutely. Pointless answer.

Very interested to see your answer in the next pass, Matthew.

I wouldn't have said that if it was my go there. Thanks very much.

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

9, Richard, very well done to you.

Richard and Kate looking very strong.

Then up to 25 where we find Fern and Matthew.

Then up to 56, Dermot and Natasha.

So, yes, we need a low score from you, Natasha.

But you get first dibs on the new board. We're going to come back down

the line. Can the second players please step up to the podium?

OK, we're going to put six more sets of names up on the board,

and here they come. We have got...

ALEXANDER READS NAMES

I'll read those one last time.

So, remember, Natasha,

we are looking for the shows in which these people were winners.

I am going to go for...

Tim Campbell, Lee McQueen and Leah Totton - The Apprentice.

The Apprentice, says Natasha. Let's hope that's right and let's hope

it goes a long way down the column. There's no red line for you

as you're the high scorers. How many people said The Apprentice?

It's right! Very well done, good hunch there.

Not bad at all.

Look at that - 4! APPLAUSE

You might be back in the game. That takes your total up to 60.

Very well done indeed.

Very well played, Natasha. Really put the pressure on the others there.

Tim Campbell, again, the winner of the first series of The Apprentice.

Thank you very much indeed. So, Matthew.

If you can score 34 or less you're through to the next round.

I think that least popular one will be

Thomasina Miers, Mat Follas, Ping Coombes - MasterChef.

MasterChef, says Matthew. There's your red line.

Get below that with MasterChef, you are in the head-to-head.

Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said MasterChef.

It's right.

Through you go. Well done, Matthew.

Good score! Look at that - 3!

28 your total. Very good indeed.

Great stuff. We're cooking! You are cooking.

If it's mountains or reality TV, Matthew can score low.

Thomasina Miers won the first series of that. Co-founded Wahaca. Yeah.

Now, Kate, the moment of truth.

Mm. Yes, you have to score 50 or less.

I'm going to go for Charlotte Hobrough and Jonny Gibb

and I think it might be Survivor.

And I've got a weird feeling about it, but I might be wrong.

Wouldn't it be brilliant if you were right? Let's find out.

Kate, there is your red line. If you get below that you are

through to the head-to-head. Let's see if Survivor's right.

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

It's right! It's right, Kate, very well done.

And you're through!

1! CHEERING

Very well done indeed.

That takes your total up to 10,

the lowest total of the round. Brilliant.

Very well done, Kate. Very good answer.

That one point is evidence that Jonny Gibb is a member of our 100.

He's not really. Let's have a look at the rest of this board.

Beth Tweddle, Ray Quinn, Suzanne Shaw is Dancing On Ice.

I was almost going to get you to fill in the board

and then I remembered who you were. LAUGHTER

Tony Blackburn, Kerry Katona, Christopher Biggins...

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

53. And Jill Halfpenny, Darren Gough, Kara Tointon, Natasha Kaplinsky.

Strictly. Strictly Come Dancing.

Would have scored 34. That's a very low score. Not a bad score at all.

There you go. I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to one pair

and that pair is Natasha and Dermot.

I'm so sorry. Our BBC Breakfast team. We'll see you again, I hope.

Meantime, thanks so much, Natasha and Dermot. Wonderful.

APPLAUSE

For Matthew and Fern and Kate and Richard,

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

Congratulations, Kate and Richard, Matthew and Fern -

you're now one step closer to the final, and a chance to play for

our jackpot, which currently stands at ?3,000.

CHEERING

So right here is the point where we decide who goes through to the final

and plays for that jackpot for their charity.

We do that by making you go head-to-head.

You're now allowed to confer and the first pair to win two questions

will be playing for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.

Let's play the head-to-head.

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

People Eating Breakfast.

Yeah, we're about to show you five pictures of well-known people

all eating breakfast. We just need you to tell us who they are, please.

All of these photos were taken by Xander and myself.

LAUGHTER

OK, let's reveal out five people a-breakfastin' and here they are.

We have...

He was furious. He was.

We took that a long time ago.

I think he knew we were there. Yeah.

She didn't. LAUGHTER

There we are, five people at breakfast.

Kate and Richard, you get to go first.

There's one we don't know.

I'm looking at C and it's like looking in a mirror.

LAUGHTER

I think we're going to go for B.

Yeah, Brian Turner. Brian Turner. Brian Turner.

Brian Turner. Matthew and Fern, talk us through the rest of the board.

Fill in the blanks. So, we think that A is Frank Sinatra.

D, Pierce Brosnan. E...

He looks like an American. Maybe Woodward from rugby...

I can't see. Looks like an American to me or something.

Shall we go for it? Do you think it is him?

Right, please may we go for A, Frank Sinatra.

A, Frank Sinatra. So we have Brian Turner and Frank Sinatra.

Kate and Richard said B was Brian Turner. Let's see if that's right

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

It's right.

21! 21 for Brian Turner. Not bad at all.

Good score.

Matthew and Fern have said A is Frank Sinatra.

Let's just find out if that's right and, if it is, let's see

how many people said Frank Sinatra.

It is right. It is right.

Oh, no - 38.

APPLAUSE

38, which means well done, Kate and Richard.

After one question you are up 1-0.

Well done. Yeah, Brian Turner a very good answer.

C, she scores lower than Brian Turner.

We live in a world where Brian Turner is more famous than...

MATTHEW: Mariah Carey.

Mariah Carey. 18 points.

Let's take a look at the other two.

D is Pierce Brosnan, of course. Biggest scorer.

That is so not his breakfast. That's so not his house, either.

Who has one of those in their house? A German helmet?

LAUGHTER

And E, it does look a bit like Sir Clive Woodward. It's not, though.

You're right, Fern, it's an American. It's an American President.

Gerald Ford.

FERN: Oh!

Thank you. So, there we are. Here comes your second question.

Matthew and Fern, you get to answer it first. OK. But you also have to

win it to stay in the game. Best of luck. It concerns...

Music From Disney Films, Richard.

This is some people's absolute perfect round.

We're going to play you five excerpts from songs from Disney films.

We need you to tell us the name of the film they originally came from.

Very best of luck.

OK, let's play our five excerpts, and here they come.

We have got, A...

# Heigh-ho

# Heigh-ho

# Heigh-ho Heigh-ho, heigh-ho

# Heigh-ho, heigh-ho

# It's home from work we go... #

B...

PLODDING CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS

C...

# Suddenly I see

# Standing here

# It's all so clear

# I'm where I'm meant to be

# And at last I see... #

D...

# Under the sea

# Under the sea

# Darling, it's better

# Down where it's wetter, take it from me

# Up on the shore... #

And E...

# Look for the bare necessities

# Those simple bare necessities

# Forget about your worries and your strife

# I mean the bare necessities... #

So there we are, five excepts from Disney film tunes.

Matthew and Fern, it's over to you.

B? B, Fantasia.

Fantasia, say Matthew and Fern. Now, Kate and Richard, it's over to you.

Do you want to talk us through all of them? Snow White is A.

Jungle Book was E. And D was Little Mermaid. We're struggling with C.

I know the song and I can't remember the film.

Shall we just say Little Mermaid? D. D.

OK, D, Little Mermaid, is that right?

Yes. They're saying Little Mermaid.

Matthew and Fern have said Fantasia for B. Let's see if that's right

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

Well, it's right.

HE MUMBLES QUIETLY

APPLAUSE

39. That's quite high for Fantasia.

All right, yeah, it's quite high!

We tried our best, all right, all right!

Don't rub it in. Doing it for a good cause, all right!

Kate and Richard, you've gone for The Little Mermaid for D.

Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many of our

100 people said The Little Mermaid. It's all back to mine afterwards...

It's right.

Hey! 49!

There you go, Matthew and Fern.

Back in the game, Matthew. Very well done. After two questions it's 1-1.

Richard? Yeah, two very big scorers here. A, let's take a quick listen.

# Heigh-ho... #

It is, of course, Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs.

That would have scored you 84 points.

Let's go to the last one. Let's go to E, if we can...

which I think everyone knew is The Jungle Book.

# Look for the bare necessities... #

And that scored 86 points. Even bigger score.

The best answer on the board is C. Let's have a quick listen.

# Suddenly I see

# Standing here... #

That is from Tangled.

FERN: What is it? Tangled.

Very good film, Tangled.

It's a funny film. OK.

Thank you, Richard.

There we are - we come down to a decider.

Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot

for their charities. Best of luck to both pairs.

Our third question concerns...

Books Set In The Future. Richard.

We're going to show you five books set wholly or mainly in the future,

but we're only going to show you the number of letters in each word

of their name. Can you work out what books we're referring to?

Very best of luck. Whichever team gives us the most obscure answer

is playing for the jackpot. Thanks very much indeed.

Let's reveal our five books set in the future, and here they are.

ALEXANDER READS NAMES

I'll read those one last time.

It's over to you, Kate and Richard, to start.

THEY WHISPER

Go for it.

We're going for Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games,

hoping that people know The Hunger Games,

but not necessarily it was Suzanne Collins who penned...

OK, The Hunger Games. Now, Matthew and Fern,

talk us through as many of the others as you can.

Aldous Huxley I think is Brave New World.

HG Wells is The Time Machine. So...

Brave New World? I think so, yes.

Brave New World. OK. So we have The Hunger Games and Brave New World.

Kate and Richard said The Hunger Games. Let's see if that's right

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

It's right.

It's not going to be very low, is it?

It's going down...

Look at that - 6!

FERN: Well done!

6 for The Hunger Games.

I think your hunch was absolutely right there.

Now, Matthew and Fern, you have to beat that with Brave New World.

Is it right? How many people said Brave New World?

It's right.

Oh, 22!

A good answer.

But, I'm afraid, didn't score as low as Kate and Richard.

Kate and Richard, after three questions,

you are through to the final, 2-1.

I think the instinct was exactly right. I think the Suzanne Collins

thing would have thrown a lot of people, so it's a very good answer.

There's an answer that would have beaten it.

It's not the Richard Bachman book. That's the pseudonym of Stephen King

and it was The Running Man.

Would have scored you 8 points.

The one at the bottom, you're right, was The Time Machine. HG Wells.

Quite a big scorer as well. 30, so the biggest scorer there.

This other one is the best answer.

Also made into a film, like a lot of his books. The Minority Report.

The Minority Report. CONTESTANTS: Ooh!

Would have scored you 1 point.

Very well done if you said that at home. Thank you, Richard.

So the pair leaving us - I'm afraid it's Matthew and Fern.

Congratulations.

Listen, let's have some applause for these marvellous people.

Please come back and play again. APPLAUSE

Very well done indeed.

For Kate and Richard, it's now time for our Pointless final.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Congratulations, Kate and Richard, you've seen off all the competition

and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done.

You now have a chance to win our jackpot for your charities.

At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at ?3,000.

That would be great, wouldn't it?

You so deserve to win that jackpot. You've played so well.

You have been absolutely fantastic the whole way through.

As always, you get to choose your category for this last round.

There will be four options. Let's see what today's choices are.

That was the year we started working together,

the year 2000. Was it? Yeah.

I remember the comet in the sky and now I know what it was for.

Shall we go for The Year 2000 out of nostalgia

and fondness for each other? Let's do it. Yeah.

And since you're still sporting the same haircut.

This is true!

OK, The Year 2000 it is.

Stay with what works. OK. Yeah.

OK, three very different categories.

We're looking for the name of any player who made an on-field

appearance for England in the European Championships 2000.

Oh! That's only one!

Or we're looking for the name of anyone, according to IMDB,

credited for acting in the film Gladiator.

So any actors in Gladiator.

Or we're looking for any act who had a UK number one album

in the year 2000. Very best of luck.

Thank you, Richard.

Now, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers,

and all you need to win that jackpot for your charities is for just

one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?

Yes. Not really.

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

We had Joaquin Phoenix.

Joaquin Phoenix. Obviously, Russell. Russell Crowe.

Um...the mother was really famous and I can't think of her name.

Beautiful actress.

Oh! Can't go beyond those two.

OK. Um...UK number one albums, 2000...

Millennium year.

Are we back in the year of Blur and things like that? I can't remember!

Um... HE MIMICS SYNTH BEAT

The Only Way Is Up, was it that?

No. Is that earlier? Much earlier.

OK. You've shaved so many years off your age.

I know, I can't remember how old I am or where I am. Um...

UK number one albums of 2000. Can you think of a compilation album?

What...? Ten seconds left.

Uh...like, um...

Uh, uh...Songs Of The Century.

Songs Of The Century?

Do you want to give it a go? It's the acts we're looking for.

Oh, so not a compilation album.

OK, and I'm afraid that is your time up.

I know need three answers from you.

Joaquin Phoenix for Gladiator. Yeah.

Um...Westlife. Let's go for Westlife. OK, Westlife.

And third answer? Do you want to pick another album, quickly?

2000? I can't remember what I was doing in the year 2000.

Robbie Williams. OK, there we are. Of those three, which do you think

is your best shot at a pointless answer?

Just so we can put them in the right order.

Joaquin Phoenix. Joaquin Phoenix we'll put last.

Least likely to be pointless?

Probably Rob... Robbie Williams. Robbie Williams.

Ron Williams. Perfect.

Let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then, and here they are. We've got...

Robbie Williams, Westlife, Joaquin Phoenix.

Very, very best of luck.

Now, your first answer, the one you thought was probably least likely

to be pointless, was Robbie Williams.

Let's just imagine a world in which one of these answers is pointless

and you would win that jackpot for your charities.

What are your charities? Kate?

Save The Children. Amazing charity.

Absolutely right. Perfect, brilliant charity.

Richard, what about you? Haven House Hospice,

which is a hospice for children.

Very good. Two excellent charities.

APPLAUSE

Let us hope one of these answers behind me

will somehow net you that jackpot so you can give it to them.

Your first answer was Robbie Williams. In this case we were

looking for albums of 2000.

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

If it's pointless, it'll win you ?3,000.

It's right!

Bit of a last-minute entry, that Robbie Williams,

but it turns out to be correct.

Down it goes, through the 20s.

If this goes down to zero you leave with ?3,000.

7! Not bad at all. There we go. Not bad.

But not good enough.

Only two more shots at today's jackpot. Your second answer

looks like another very promising answer. Does it?

Don't you think?

If you only had 100 seconds you might just suddenly maybe

forget Westlife. Maybe. I could never forget Westlife.

Fair enough. It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.

Let's find out, for ?3,000, how many people said Westlife.

Well, it also is correct. Robbie Williams took us down to 7.

Westlife is now taking us down through the 30s into the 20s,

into the teens. Will it go into single figures?

Oh, no, it won't. 11.

Wasn't bad. Wasn't bad.

7 and 11.

OK. Everything's now riding on your third and final answer,

which is Joaquin Phoenix.

We were looking for cast members of Gladiator.

You gotta hope this is pointless. If it is it'll win you ?3,000

for your charity. Let's find out how many people said Joaquin Phoenix.

It's right!

Your first answer, Robbie Williams, took us down to 7.

Your second answer, Westlife, took us down to 11.

Joaquin Phoenix now taking us down through the teens...

Not quite! I'm so sorry! Nearly. Nearly.

Much less than you'd imagine. Yeah.

Three good answers there, three low scores. Yeah.

You didn't manage to find that vital pointless answer that we needed,

so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of ?3,000

for your charities.

However, we're going to donate ?500 to each celebrity pair

for their respective charities. Lovely. Thanks very much. Thank you.

We've really loved having you on the show.

You have been brilliant from start to finish.

And you get to take home a Pointless trophy.

Very well done indeed. Thank you for having us. Thank you.

APPLAUSE Thank you.

Very well played. It's been a terrific show from everybody

and you're worthy winners. Let's take a look at the pointless answers.

See how well you've done at home. Let's start with the football one.

I know a lot of people would have got pointless answers here. Emile Heskey

would have been a pointless answer, not for the first time.

LAUGHTER

You could have had Nick Barmby, Paul Ince, Nigel Martyn.

Let's take a look at Gladiator.

I think the actress you were thinking of was Connie Nielsen. Oh!

Richard Harris.

Yeah, Richard Harris plays Marcus Aurelius

and Omid Djalili plays the slave trader.

Everybody apart from Russell Crowe, Oliver Reed, Joaquin Phoenix

and David Hemmings would have scored you 2 points.

Everybody else is a pointless answer. Let's take a look at the albums.

Tom Jones had Reload, which is lots of cover versions.

You also could have had Shania Twain, Texas, The Corrs or Whitney Houston.

All of those would have been pointless answers.

Very well played if you got any of those at home. Thanks, Richard.

Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Kate and Richard.

It's been fabulous having you on the show. Thank you so much for being

such brilliant contestants. Thank you very much, 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 it's goodbye from me - goodbye.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

YOU'RE going on a date with Lily Riley? Oh, yeah.

This is fantastic! I know.

Look how far she has fallen!
