Outdoors Pointless Celebrities

APPLAUSE

Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless Celebrities,

the show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.

Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities.

And couple number one.

Yes, well, I wasn't sure who I was but a chap came up to me

in the street - just as I was coming to the studio -

and said, "You used to be Bill Oddie."

Well, I used to be, and I think I still am.

I'm Tessa Dunlop, and I, once upon a time, 15 years ago, worked with

Bill Oddie, but now I mainly do Coast and I write a bit

-and I'm a student.

-Successful.

Couple number two.

I'm Helen Skelton, I used to work on Blue Peter

and then Radzi took over the reins.

I now work for Countryfile, BBC Sport and BT Sport.

My name's Radzi, I work for Blue Peter, CBBC, Match Of The Day Kickabout and We Love Sport.

So we're hoping today is going to be all about sports.

Couple number three.

Well, I'm John Craven, and like Bill, for about a couple of hundred years I've been on television

and I now do Countryfile. Well, I have done for 25 years.

And I'm Shauna Lowry. I am now working with the legend who is

John Craven on Countryfile, and also alongside Helen, there.

And, yeah, I love it and it's great to be back on BBC.

APPLAUSE

And finally, couple number four.

I'm Diarmuid Gavin, I'm a gardener and Pointless expert.

THEY LAUGH

I really hope you are.

And I'm Miranda Krestovnikoff.

I'm a wildlife presenter on The One Show and Coast.

These are today's contestants.

Thank you all very much indeed. 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 Richard,

-hear him roar - it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.

-Hiya.

Evening, everybody. Evening.

-Good evening.

-Good evening to you.

-This is fun, isn't it?

-Isn't it?

Lots of Countryfile, lots of Coast, bit of Blue Peter.

-Literally a breath of fresh air.

-It is a breath of fresh air.

It's actually rather cold in the studio.

You can see that breath.

If they can't, they'll put that on in CGI.

We do a lot of CGI, don't we, on this show?

We do a lot. Well, quite often I don't turn up. Or I do turn up but I'm a bit...

Aw, those are great days, great days.

Now, talking of doing good jobs,

we've got a couple of people who have been on the show before, we've got three people, in fact,

but with very different records, I have to say.

We've got John, who came on before with Julia Bradbury,

-knocked out in the first round.

-We were indeed.

But you've traded up this time with Shauna,

-so hopefully we'll see you go further.

-No pressure.

We've got Diarmuid there on the last podium. The Pointless expert.

-Yeah.

-I don't doubt you are, Diarmuid,

we just didn't quite see enough of you to work out the truth of that.

Also got knocked out in the first round, Diarmuid -

-however, on podium two, you've got Helen.

-Yeah.

Now, Helen got all the way through to the final with Barney

and won Pointless, as well. So she is...

APPLAUSE

Does that mean I can sit back this time?

So if it goes badly today - very, very, very much Radzi's fault.

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

Now, as usual, all of today's questions have been put

to 100 people before the show.

Our contestants here are trying

to find those all-important pointless answers.

These are the answers that none of our 100 people gave.

Find one of those, and we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.

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

each of our wonderful celebrities here is playing for a nominated charity

so we start off with a jackpot of £2,500.

There it is.

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

Now, contestants, all you have to remember is that the pair with

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

So your job is essentially to make sure you are not that pair.

So, best of luck to everyone. Our first category this evening is:

Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.

-BILL:

-Do you want me to go first?

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

OK. And the question concerns:

-There we are.

-LAUGHTER

That's cleared that up, hasn't it?

-Richard.

-Sorry, that's not giving much extra information, is it?

In a moment, Xander's going to show you a board with

six things on it and they are all groups of four.

We're looking for anything that fits into any of the groups

you're about to see.

So you're going to see six groups, so anything that fits into any of these groups, please.

As always, the more obscure the answer the better.

Now, as Richard has just mentioned, we're going to put six groups up on the board,

they will remain on the board through the round,

so we won't be changing them. Let's see what those are.

I'll read those all one last time.

-Now, Bill.

-Yes.

Autumnwatch, Springwatch, Autumnwatch, Springwatch - which is better?

-The one with me on it.

-LAUGHTER

But do you prefer either of the series? I mean, you know...

Yeah, Springwatch, without a doubt, is more fun

cos spring is more concentrated and there's more going on,

whereas autumn is sort of protracted

-and you have to be on for about five weeks.

-Yeah.

And even the BBC wouldn't run it for five weeks.

Now, Bill - quartets.

-Yeah.

-Members of quartets.

-Davy Jones.

-Davy Jones, says Bill.

Davy Jones, let's see if that's right,

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

-29.

-APPLAUSE

Yeah, well played, Bill, good start - Davy Jones obviously from The Monkees.

Born in Manchester. Appeared in Corrie when he was 14.

Thanks very much indeed. Now, Radzi, welcome. Welcome to the show.

-Good to see the Blue Peter badge there.

-Exactly - got to wear it at all times.

Have you it tattooed on your chest?

-I do.

-LAUGHTER

Radzi. Now, listen, Blue Peter presenting was something...

I mean, that wasn't on your radar at all,

you were going to be representing us at the Winter Olympics. You were going to be a bobsleigh.

Yeah. For about three years I trained to do skeleton bobsleigh,

and then realised I wasn't very good at that... And then I thought,

"I'm going to do what I've wanted to do since I was ten

"and chase the dream of being a Blue Peter presenter."

Brilliant. Now, how are you feeling about this first round?

I'm going to credit my sister and go for a Kardashian sibling.

-I'm going to go for the brother, Rob Kardashian.

-Rob Kardashian.

-Yes.

Rob. Let's see it's right,

see how many people said Rob Kardashian.

-It's right.

-Oh!

-That, I think is a very, very good answer, Radzi.

-Yes...

-APPLAUSE

-1 for Rob Kardashian.

Very well done indeed. You chose well, Helen.

Very well played, Radzi. Well played,

Radzi's sister as well. Yeah.

The youngest of the talented Kardashian siblings.

LAUGHTER

Thanks very much indeed.

Now, Shauna, you have been working in television

-from a very, very young age. You started at 16.

-A mere babe, yes.

-You were a reporter at 16.

-I was, with the BBC in Belfast.

-Goodness me. And then you did kids' TV?

-I did.

and then into wildlife and pets and animals, which I love.

-And Countryfile.

-And Countryfile is my passion, as well.

-Lovely.

Do you have a favourite of those genres you've crossed?

Obviously wildlife and animals. Being in the outdoors, you know.

That's what you need.

-Perfect.

-Absolutely.

Shauna, how are we feeling about these quartets here?

Being from Ulster,

and the Ulster American Folk Park, in Cookstown, County Tyrone,

is all about the Mellon family.

And the Mellon family emigrated and went to the New World of America

and he became President of the USA,

as far as I know - and that is John Mellon.

John Mellon, says Shauna. Let's see if that's right,

and if it is, see how many of our 100 people said John Mellon.

-No.

-Oh, Shauna.

-Oh, I'm sorry.

Not a US President.

We'll discover why,

-but I'm afraid that scores you 100 points.

-I'm sorry.

You say we'll discover why -

I don't know why John Mellon was not President -

maybe not popular enough -

but there was an Andrew Mellon

who was the Chief Secretary of the Treasury in the States in the '20s.

Maybe him? I don't know.

-OK. I don't know. We're going right back.

-Yeah.

-OK. Sorry.

-Maybe he was one of the same Mellons.

-It's worth a shot.

-Maybe he's descended from those Mellons.

-Yeah, possibly. Possibly.

-Lot of Mellons in America.

-There certainly are, yeah.

Thank you very much indeed. Miranda...

Miranda, welcome. Lovely to have you here.

You are the President of the RSPB.

How did you get into that? What took you to the top of the RSPB?

Well, I'm passionate about wildlife and getting people connected

with wildlife, especially young people and families,

and I think it's just getting the word out there that we need to care

a bit more about our wildlife and our environment,

and look after it a bit more cos it can give us so much back.

Well said. Now,

how are we feeling about these?

-I'm going to go...Slovenia.

-Slovenia, says Miranda.

Slovenia. Let's see if it's right,

and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Slovenia.

It's right.

Well, 100 our high score, 1 our lowest

so quite a broad range...

-Very well done indeed. Lovely scoring there, Miranda.

-APPLAUSE

Yeah, very good answer. Joined the EU in 2004.

Chief export of Slovenia is melons.

LAUGHTER

-You are lying.

-I am lying.

Thank you, Richard. We're halfway through the round,

let's take a look at the scores as they stand. Radzi,

hats off to you. 1.

Then we travel up to 16 -

another low score there, Miranda.

Very well done, Miranda and Diarmuid.

Diarmuid, it might be beyond Round One for you this time.

It's got to be looking good.

Up to 29, Bill and Tessa.

Then... Oh, Shauna and John, I'm sorry,

-let down by the Mellons, I'm afraid.

-LAUGHTER

There you are on 100. However,

the round is far from over, John, and a low score from you might keep you in the game,

-you never know.

-You never know.

-Fingers crossed.

We're going to come back down the line now, can the second players please step up to the podium?

OK - remember, Diarmuid,

we're looking for anyone or anything

that belongs to one of these.

Now, Diarmuid, do you ever find when you're

making someone's garden for them, did you ever go back and visit

and find they just hadn't really done anything to it at all?

Yeah, occasionally that happened, and it was devastating

because you really put everything into it, but a garden only becomes

real when you hand it over, it only becomes there, and it is up to them

to treat it whatever way...

You hope that they really wanted it and they love it as much as you did

and the team did who created it for them.

OK. Diarmuid, you are on 16. 83 is your target -

if you get a score of 83 or less, you are safely into the next round.

What are you thinking?

-Um... Sweden.

-Sweden.

There's your red line -

get below that with Sweden, you are through to the next round comfortably.

It's right. Through you go.

-That'll do. Well done.

-Taking your total up to 62.

-APPLAUSE

Well played, Diarmuid - did exactly the right thing there, kept it safe.

You knew that was going to get you the score you needed. Safely through.

Thanks very much indeed.

-Now, John, welcome back to Pointless.

-Well, thank you.

-Recurring nightmare, this!

-I'm sorry.

-LAUGHTER

-Nothing to do with you!

-No.

I was just thinking,

I think I know you better than I know members of my family.

I've known you all my life.

That's true, I'm afraid.

No, don't be afraid, it's lovely.

All depends how old you are.

And now Countryfile, which has just gone...

-You were there from the beginning, weren't you?

-I was indeed.

I mean, we started off on Sunday morning as a little half-hour

programme, and now we're the most popular current affairs

-programme on television. It's amazing.

-Incredible.

-APPLAUSE

-Yeah. Damn right.

Very good. Now, John, if you can score less than 28,

you're still in the running.

I'll go for the Monkees - Peter Tork.

Peter Tork. OK.

Now, no red line for you,

but let's see how far down the column we get with Peter Tork.

It's right.

Still going down... 7. Very well done indeed, John.

-Well done, John.

-APPLAUSE

-Second best score of the round so far.

-That's fantastic.

Great answer, John. Very well played.

Peter Tork from The Monkees, a very respected folk musician as well. Very talented man.

-All The Monkees were fairly talented.

-Mm. Thanks very much indeed.

Now, then, Helen Skelton...

Last time you were on, we talked about your many daredevil exploits.

This time, I want to talk to you about tap dancing.

-Right.

-You are a qualified tap dance teacher. You teach tap.

Well, I did when I was younger, yeah,

I did it from the age of 3 to 23.

-You taught tap at the age of three?

-LAUGHTER

I was very good!

No, I did it from the age of 3 until I was 23,

and then I kind of just kept going to the point

there were no more exams, so they had to let me do

-some teaching qualifications, I guess.

-Very good.

Now, Helen, you are through to the next round. You are already through.

-But - how are we feeling about these quartets?

-Erm...

The Kardashians have served us well, and no-one else seems to like them.

I mean, no-one else HERE likes them!

So I will say... Kourtney.

Kourtney, says Helen. Kourtney.

No red line for the lovely reason

that you are already through, but let's see how many of our 100 people said Kourtney.

It's right.

-7.

-APPLAUSE

Joint second best score of the round. Very well done indeed.

Takes your total up to 9, a single-figure total.

-Very impressive.

-Well played, Helen,

very good work on podium two. The Kardashians helping you both.

Yeah, Kourtney, eldest and most talented of the Kardashians,

which is like being the world's best-looking darts player.

LAUGHTER

Very good indeed. Thank you so much, Richard.

-Tessa...

-Hello.

-Tessa.

Now - presenter on Coast,

which has been going for...

Another programme that's just enormously popular.

Do you have a favourite patch of coast? Is there a favourite little stretch?

There is, actually. It's not somewhere I've been able to revisit

but we were really landlocked...

I grew up in a Highland glen,

-Kinloch Rannoch - one of the most remote parts of Britain, actually.

-Yeah.

Most underpopulated, can you be?

And so we had to travel miles to get to the coast,

and Arisaig, on the west coast of Scotland, was where I just...

-Was where you went.

-Yeah, we escaped.

-The first sea you saw.

The first sea we saw.

Anyway, listen, there you are on 29.

If you can score 77 or less, Tessa,

you waltz through to the next round.

You can do some... Talking out loud!

Some thinking out loud, if you like.

I want to go with John Buchanan as a President,

but I'm just suddenly having, you know, a doubt.

-So I'm freezing Buchanan...

-OK.

Erm... He might have been an early lover, I don't know -

and I'm going to say instead Slovakia.

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

Get below that red line.

It's right.

You're through.

-18.

-Oh, that's good.

-APPLAUSE

Taking your total up to 47,

and seeing you comfortably into the next round.

Yeah, well played. Did the right thing -

-John Buchanan... Not an American President.

-See, who is it, then?

He's the President of the British Melon Growers Association.

-LAUGHTER

-Thank you!

-SHAUNA:

-Why didn't you go for that(?)

No, there is a James Buchanan, was President.

JAMES Buchanan!

Who, in Presidents

with the first name James would have been an absolutely terrific answer.

there's only one pointless answer in any of the categories, and that's an American President,

and it's John Tyler. Would have been a pointless answer.

The four American states are all quite low scorers.

You'd have got one point for Arizona, one point for Utah,

one point for Colorado, and three points for New Mexico.

Other Kardashians... We had the best two, actually -

I say the best two, you know what I mean.

Khloe would have scored you 8,

and Kim would have scored you 32. Other American Presidents -

John Quincy Adams would have scored you 3,

John Adams would have scored you 8, and JFK would have scored you 54.

The Monkees - the best answer for The Monkees was Peter Tork,

John, unfortunate to be knocked out.

Michael Nesmith would have scored you 15, Micky Dolenz, 19.

we already had Davy Jones,

Indiana Jones -

Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull was the best answer there, 3 points,

9 for Last Crusade, 18 for Lost Ark and 34 for Temple Of Doom.

And the only other answer we haven't had is Spain for the countries, which would have scored 56.

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

At the end of our first round - I'm so sorry, the pair we have to say goodbye to

-is John and Shauna.

-I know. All my fault. Sorry.

Come back and play again. It'd be lovely to have you again.

-OK. Will you come back?

-Thanks so much.

-I'll come back and try again.

APPLAUSE

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

And so three pairs remain. Very sadly, at the end of this round,

we're going to have to say goodbye to another pair.

I don't know who that's going to be. Radzi and Helen -

just immaculate scoring in that round, which was fantastic.

Tessa and Bill, not bad at all, nice scoring from you as well.

Great to have you all here, best of luck to all three pairs.

Our category for Round Two today is:

Fictional animals. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

who's going to go second... and whoever's going first, step up to the podium?

OK. And the question concerns:

-Ooh.

-There you go. Famous rabbits, Richard.

On each pass we're going to show you six questions about famous rabbits

or the works they appeared in. You just need to give us

the most obscure answer, please. An incorrect answer will score you 100 points.

There's going to be 12 questions on famous rabbits for you

to have a go at. Very best of luck.

Thanks very much indeed. So we are looking for these famous rabbits,

here's our first board of six celebrated rabbits:

I'll read those all again.

Bill -

fictional rabbits, does it get better than that?

Oh...

I think the one with Coyote

was called Elmer.

-Elmer.

-Elmer.

OK, Elmer. Let's find out if that is right

and if it is, that see how many of our 100 people said Elmer.

No, it's not.

Bad luck, Bill. That's an incorrect answer,

scores you 100 points.

Sorry, I think you're probably thinking of Elmer Fudd.

-Elmer Fudd.

-Not Elmer, I'm afraid.

-Supposed to know about wildlife(!)

-I know, I know.

Thanks very much indeed. Helen...

Yes.

Helen, which of these is leaping out at you?

There's a couple, but you question yourself.

I'm going to go Lewis Carroll, who created the white rabbit

which leads Alice down the rabbit hole.

Lewis Carroll, says Helen. Let's see if that's right

and how many of our 100 people said Lewis Carroll.

It's right.

-Oh.

-55.

-We'll take it.

-Not bad at all, though. 55.

-APPLAUSE

Well played, Helen, very nicely done. You see, that's Pointless all over -

two answers so far, Kourtney Kardashian and Lewis Carroll.

Thanks very much indeed.

Miranda, can I just commend you on how well your dress

matches the lighting for this round?

Now, you're the last person to have this board -

if you want, you could talk us

through all of the answers...

Er, I'm quite confident

about the last one, actually.

I think the Dutch cartoon rabbit

is Miffy.

-HELEN:

-Oh, yes...

-Miffy.

Ah, you see! "Oh, yes!" I know - we all loved it but you think,

"Ooh. Is it, is it?" But I'm going to go for Miffy.

Miffy - is it right? If it is, let's see how many people said Miffy.

Sounds like a brilliant answer.

-Come on....

-It's right.

Yes. Go, go, go...

No, no, no, no, no...

-Down it goes, still going down...

-Come on!

-2!

-Oh, yes.

-Very, very well done indeed, Miranda.

-Miffy!

-APPLAUSE

That's a brilliant answer, 2 for Miffy.

Very well played, Miranda - Diarmuid cannot believe his luck.

He really can't.

Let's fill in the rest of these.

-The Warner Brothers cartoon rabbit is Bugs Bunny, of course.

-Bugs Bunny.

Big scorer, 64.

Do you know the 1950 film?

-James Stewart film? It's Harvey.

-Harvey.

32 points for that.

The Monty Python film?

Monty Python And The Holy Grail.

And The Holy Grail, yes, it would have scored you 8 points.

Now, the one you went for, Bill,

it's actually a pointless answer. A very tough one to go for

and the answer is Ricochet Rabbit. Very, very well done

-if you said that at home.

-Thanks very much indeed,

we're halfway through the round -

2 the best score of that pass, well done, Miranda.

Brilliant answering there.

55, Helen and Radzi, looking very strong there.

Then up to 100, Bill and Tessa.

Tessa, a nice low score from you might be

enough to keep you in the game. We'll come back down the line,

can the second players please step up to the podium?

OK, we're going to put six more clues on the board and here they come:

I'll read those one last time.

Diarmuid...

97 or less gets you through.

I'm going to answer the first one, the 1972 Richard Adams novel -

-Watership Down.

-Watership Down.

There's your red line, lovely and high.

If you can get below that,

you're into the head-to-head.

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

It's right, you're through.

Ooh, 76 - high score there.

But did everything you needed to do there, Diarmuid. 78 is your total.

APPLAUSE

Well played, Diarmuid. Exactly the same as Round One there,

you got yourself safely through.

First made up the story on a long car journey, for his daughters.

Thank you very much indeed.

Now, Radzi, 44 or less sees you through.

Are you happy with the board?

I'm happy with the board,

I'm not happy with my answer though.

-The Beatrix Potter rabbit, is Peter Rabbit.

-Peter Rabbit.

Peter Rabbit, says Radzi. Let's see if that's right,

and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Peter Rabbit.

There's your red line. It's not the highest,

so let us see if you can get below that with Peter Rabbit.

Ooh!

-59.

-Oh...

-APPLAUSE

59. This is very exciting, takes your total

up to 114. Tessa, back in the game. Richard...

Yeah, good answer but just leaves the door open.

Was registered in 1903 as a trademark.

-Really?

-But imagine the money.

Oh... The money.

-RICHARD WHISTLES

-Yeah.

-Now, then. Tessa...

-Hi.

Hi. Hi! Listen, if you score 13 or less...

This is essentially what I'm saying -

you have to score 13 or less, otherwise we'll be saying goodbye.

I can't do mascot of the '80s music medley band.

The only rabbit I can think of in Bambi is Thumper,

and the "Lucky Rabbit"... Brer Rabbit, maybe?

I'm going to take a punt - AA Milne for the last question, please.

-AA Milne, says Tessa.

-Yeah.

Here is your red line. It's a low one.

There we are. Let's see if you can get below that with AA Milne.

(Can I sit...)

It's right.

-Still going...

-Go, go, go...

-No!

-Oh!

-I'm afraid it's 27.

-APPLAUSE

Rats and dawgs!

-BILL:

-I'm sorry.

-I'm afraid that takes your total up to 127.

Unlucky, Tessa. Winnie-the-Pooh, the second most valuable character in the world after Mickey Mouse.

-Wow.

-Isn't that amazing?

OK, let's fill in the rest of this board. The music medley band was...

-Jive Bunny, yeah.

-Jive Bunny.

We've all tried to forget. Would have scored you 18.

The rabbit who tries to teach Bambi WAS Thumper,

would have scored you too many points as well, though. Would have scored you 37 points.

But the "Lucky Rabbit" created by Ub Iwerks and Walt Disney -

it was actually a forerunner of Mickey Mouse,

and it was... Oswald The Rabbit.

And was a pointless answer, so very well done if you said that at home,

-Oswald The Rabbit.

-Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

So, at the end of our second round,

I'm sorry to say the pair who are heading home with a high score of 127, it's Tessa and Bill.

Come back - come back and do better next time.

-Tessa and Bill, great contestants.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

Thank you, Tessa. It's been a pleasure.

But for Miranda and Diarmuid, Radzi and Helen,

it's now time for the head-to-head.

Congratulations, Radzi and Helen, Miranda and Diarmuid,

you're now one step closer to the final

and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at...

There we are.

Here's the bit where we decide who gets to play for that money

and we do that by making you go head-to-head.

The good news is 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:

Items used when camping. Richard.

Yeah, we're going to show you the names of five items

you might use when camping now, but they're in anagram form.

Can you unscramble them and give us the most obscure answer?

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

OK, let's reveal our five camp anagrams

and here they come. We have got:

Now, Radzi and Helen,

cos you've been our low scorers throughout the show so far

-you will go first.

-OK.

We know four. Erm...

We're going to go with one.

Cave stomping, we think might be camping stove.

Camping stove.

Camping stove for cave stomping. OK.

Now then, Miranda and Diarmuid, do you think you're up to

talking us through all the others?

Er...so gents pet is tent peg,

and biplane eggs is sleeping bag.

-What do you reckon?

-Yeah.

-OK, we're going to go biplane eggs is sleeping bag.

Biplane eggs, sleeping bag say Miranda and Diarmuid. Let's see.

Radzi and Helen said camping stove -

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

of our 100 people said camping stove for cave stomping.

It's right.

59.

APPLAUSE

59 for camping stove.

Meanwhile, Miranda and Diarmuid have gone for sleeping bag

for biplane eggs. Sleeping bag - let's see if that's right,

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

(99.)

It's right.

-And it wins you the point.

-Oh, yes.

By a margin, look at that.

Down it goes... 17 for sleeping bag.

-There you are.

-Oh, that was just totally random.

-Yeah.

-Totally random.

Which means after one question, Miranda and Diarmuid, you are up 1-0. Richard.

Yeah, absolutely, a very tough anagram so very well played.

Obviously gents pet is a much,

much easier anagram to get,

it was tent pegs, big scorer though.

Would have scored 86 points.

Thank God we didn't go for that.

Am troll - any luck with am troll?

-No.

-HELEN:

-Roll mat.

Roll mat, yeah, absolutely.

That would have scored 16.

-Oh, you should have gone...

-And the best answer

is the third one - you don't know that, I'm guessing.

-No.

-No.

-Any ideas?

Anyone in the audience?

Folding chair. Absolutely.

2 points. So a very good answer.

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

So - here comes your second question.

Radzi and Helen, you have to win it to stay in the game

so very best of luck. It concerns:

-Older siblings.

-I've got an older sibling.

-Richard.

We're going to show you five pictures of siblings,

we just need you to tell us the older sibling in the photograph, please.

Very best of luck.

Thanks very much indeed.

Let's reveal our five photographs:

There we go, five pairs of siblings.

Now, Miranda and Diarmuid, you will go first

but you can take a little moment to gather your thoughts.

(..So yeah, I'm going to say D

is Charlie and Martin Sheen.)

(Jane Fonda...

Is it Henry Fonda?)

(Maybe those 100 people

don't know about the royal family.)

(Go B.)

We're going to go B.

The elder is Andrew.

OK. You're going to say Prince Andrew.

Now - Radzi and Helen, talk us through the board.

We've got the Sheens who are D,

then we got E, the Osmonds.

But we're going to go with C,

-The older sibling is Daniel Bedingfield.

-Daniel Bedingfield.

So we have Prince Andrew and Daniel Bedingfield.

Now, Miranda and Diarmuid said Prince Andrew for B - let's see if that's right.

Is it? How many people said it?

(Yeah, I know it's right...)

It's right.

-You're banking on our 100 not knowing their royals...

-Ooh.

56 of them knew that.

It's a bit middley, isn't it?

Radzi and Helen have gone for Daniel Bedingfield for C -

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

It's right.

-It wins you the point.

-Yeah.

-MIRANDA:

-Oh, well done. Oh...

-Yeah!

-9.

Very well done indeed, Radzi and Helen,

back in the game - After two questions, 1-1.

We didn't know yours!

Well played, Radzi and Helen, very good answer -

yeah, four Number 1 singles between the two of them

and Daniel two years older than Natasha.

A, I think you know, is Peter Fonda

-and Jane Fonda.

-Who's the oldest?

Who's the oldest is the question.

It certainly looks like Peter

-but it's Jane.

-Oh.

Jane is the eldest there, would have scored you 20 points.

D would have won you the point,

D is the best answer on the board.

It's Charlie Sheen and his brother,

-Emilio Estevez.

-Oh, God. Yes...

Would have scored you 6 points.

And E is the Osmonds, Donny and Marie

and Donny is the older of the two.

That would have scored 41 points.

Thank you very much indeed. Your third and final question.

This is the decider. Best of luck to both pairs.

It concerns:

Flights and flying machines. Richard.

We're going to show you five clues now

to facts about flights and flying machines. Whichever team gives us

the most obscure answer will be going through to play

for the final. Very best of luck.

Thank you very much indeed.

OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they are:

I'll read those one last time.

Now then, Radzi and Helen, you'll go first.

Let's pick what we definitely know.

Yeah, OK, we'll go for a definite.

We will go, the surname of the

aviation pioneers Wilbur and Orville

who I think are the Wright brothers.

The Wright brothers, say Radzi and Helen, Wright being the surname.

Now then, Miranda and Diarmuid...

They just got the one that we wanted, so...

-The middle one is a Zeppelin.

-And the supersonic...

..passenger is obviously Concorde.

They're the two we're definite about so will we go with Zeppelin?

I think we're going to go Zeppelin,

so the form of rigid airship.

You're going to go for Zeppelin. So we have Wright and Zeppelin.

Radzi and Helen said the Wright brothers -

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

let's see how many of our 100 said Wright.

Well, it is WRIGHT in every sense(!)

62.

APPLAUSE

That's quite a high score.

Yeah. Miranda and Diarmuid have gone for Zeppelin, the rigid airship -

let's see if that's right,

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

It's right.

And it gets you through, look at that.

44 for Zeppelin, very well done.

-We were going to go Wright.

-Yeah, we were going to go Wright!

A close-run thing, but Miranda and Diarmuid, very well done indeed -

after three questions, you're through to the final 2-1.

Yeah - let's fill in the rest of this board.

The century was of course the 20th century.

Would have scored you 56.

The one at the bottom, the supersonic passenger plane,

you all avoided it, it's Concorde but a very big scorer -

would have scored you 89.

The best answer is the flying boat -

it was six times bigger than any plane around at the time,

made entirely of wood.

-It was the Spruce Goose.

-It was the Spruce Goose, yeah,

and would have scored 17 points. Well done if you said that.

Thank you very much indeed.

So the pair leaving as at the end of the head-to-head round,

I'm afraid, Radzi and Helen. I thought you were going to get

your double bookend, Helen.

I'm afraid you'll have to come back for your second trophy.

It's been lovely having you on the show. Please come back

-and play again. Radzi and Helen.

-APPLAUSE

But for Miranda and Diarmuid, it's now time for our Pointless final.

Congratulations, Miranda and Diarmuid, you've seen off

all the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot

for your nominated charities

and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at...

Do you know, I spoke earlier about playing tactically

and actually, you have. You've played a blinder tactically.

When it counted, we've had some really nice low scores -

Miffy, for example, a lovely low score from you.

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

There'll be four options put up on the board behind me -

Let's hope there's something up there you like the look of. Let's find out what the four are.

Today, we've got:

-OK...

-The year 2000, interesting.

I was a judge on the Stirling Prize for Architecture

-a couple of years ago.

-Maybe we should do architecture.

(You shouldn't have told us that.)

Maybe I've just shot myself in the foot.

-I like architecture, I like design.

-OK. We're going to go architecture.

-I think that's a very, very sensible move.

-I'm now backing off.

Always a sensible thing, to go with one specialist subject.

Anyway, let's find out, maybe it wasn't sensible. Richard.

Yeah, we shall find out. What prize were on the judging panel for?

The Stirling Prize for Architecture.

I've not heard of it. Let's take a look at these questions... LAUGHTER

-We're doing well.

-I have of course, I have of course.

The first question is the location of any Stirling Prize-winning building

-outside London.

-Oh, come on!

So any building since 1996 outside of London - any town or city, sorry -

which has a building that won the Stirling Prize.

We're looking for any architects from 1979 to 2014

who have won the Pritzker Prize,

or any of Nicholas Hawksmoor's

six London churches.

So I need the London churches

designed solely by Hawksmoor.

So Stirling Prize winning buildings, architects who've won the Pritzker

or Hawksmoor's London churches.

Very, very best of luck.

A very sensible choice, I think.

There we are. Now, as always, you've got up to a minute

to come up with three answers.

-All you need to win that money for your charities...

-LAUGHTER

..is just one of those answers to be pointless.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.

There they go, your time starts now.

OK. Location of

Stirling Prize-winning buildings...

-This is what you did.

-Prize-WINNING.

Maybe not the overall prize, that's very interesting.

Er, architects who have won the...

Go on, you've got to come up with some answers.

-I can't even pronounce it...

-You don't have to read the questions,

-we need answers.

-Frank Gehry.

-Only one I know.

And maybe Zaha Hadid

has won the Pritzker Prize.

London churches, I won't know.

Right, so what about the top one?

-You were on the panel.

-I was.

-Come on.

-We went to see Zaha Hadid's ski lift out in Austria...

OK. Where in Austria?

Oh, God, I can't remember, but it didn't...

-Did he win a prize?

-No, it didn't. It's a she.

SHE LAUGHS

OK, it's not my specialised subject.

Stirling Prize-winning building...

OK, we've got two answers.

-Ten seconds left.

-OK.

Any in...

-I'm going to go for Frank Gehry in the...

-Architects.

The winning. And the others...

-And the other one?

-I don't know.

OK. That's your time up.

Let's have your three answers

and which categories you're answering from.

So, I'm answering from architects who've won the Pritzker Prize

which may be Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid...

And you could do another one from the top one though

if you know one of the locations, if that ramp was in Austria...

so I'll say Zaha Hadid for her ski lift in Innsbruck.

OK, so of those three answers

which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?

Zaha Hadid for the ski lift is last...

Innsbruck, in which case we put Innsbruck last.

-That's the most obscure.

-Innsbruck is the location. It goes last.

-Yes.

-We put then... Which goes first, is it Frank Gehry?

-Gehry, yeah.

-We put first...

-That's more popular.

..and then Zaha Hadid in her own right in the middle.

OK, let's put those answers up on the board then, and here they are.

We've got:

-Very best of luck. Now, your first answer was Frank Gehry.

-Mm.

Now, let's just suppose one of these answers is right

and wins that jackpot for you,

what charities are you playing for? Miranda?

Well, as I'm President of the RSPB

it would be very rude not to give the money to the RSPB.

And they're doing a wonderful job for connecting people and nature

and making homes for wildlife,

-so that is the charity I would like to give the money to...

-Very good.

-Diarmuid?

-..if we win.

I'm playing for the Simon Community of Northern Ireland

who help people who are homeless

try and get their life back on track again

by housing them in hostels and then moving them back into the community.

Two excellent charities there. Best of luck.

Let's hope one of these fine answers behind me is pointless

and wins that jackpot for you.

OK, your first answer was Frank Gehry,

the one you thought was least likely to be pointless.

Let's find out how many of our 100 people named Frank Gehry as a Pritzker Prize-winner.

It's right.

Now, if this goes all the way down to zero

you will leave with £2,500

for your nominated charities.

Down Frank Gehry goes - into single figures,

still going down...

You've done it!

-You've done it.

-CHEERING

Very, very well done indeed. That's fantastic, brilliant.

-That's wonderful.

-Superb.

-Great.

You see, I've heard of Frank Gehry.

APPLAUSE

Frank Gehry was a pointless answer

which means you take that jackpot of £2,500 back for your charities.

-Very well done indeed.

-Thank you very much.

Diarmuid, the heaviest lifting that needed to be done at the end

-was yours...

-At the last minute, he pulled it out. Well done.

-Superb job.

-Really good.

Great teamwork all the way through.

Frank Gehry won the Pritzker Prize in 1989.

In 2004, Zaha Hadid also won the Pritzker Prize...

and she was also a pointless answer.

Ah! Well done!

-Wow.

-You see, you're good at this.

-APPLAUSE

The Hungerburg Furnicular, which was Zaha Hadid's ski lift,

was nominated for the Stirling Prize, didn't win it,

-lost out to the Accordia development in Cambridge.

-Cambridge, not Austria.

Innsbruck would have been an incorrect answer.

Cambridge would have scored you 2.

Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.

We'll start with the locations.

Gateshead - the Millennium Bridge won the Stirling Prize.

Rotherham, the Magna Science Centre also won it.

Salford, for the centenary building at Salford University,

Stuttgart for the music school. Well done if you said those.

The architects...

There's Frank Gehry, there's Oscar Niemeyer.

Renzo Piano as well, Zaha Hadid.

In fact, everybody apart from Norman Foster, Richard Rogers,

James Stirling himself, Robert Venturi, Jorn Utzon and Aldo Rossi -

everyone else was a pointless answer.

And Nicholas Hawksmoor's churches -

there's only one pointless answer here, very well done if you said

St Mary Woolnoth, terrific answer.

But brilliant performance all the way through,

both of you picking up where the other person was weak.

Terrific stuff, and exactly the right tactic in the final,

which is if one of you knows about something, always go for that.

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

-Thanks once again to our winning players, Miranda and Diarmuid...

-Thank you very much.

..who go away with today's jackpot of £2,500 for their charities.

-Thank you.

-Brilliant.

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

to the test. Meanwhile it's goodbye from Richard...

-Goodbye.

-..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.

APPLAUSE
