0:00:24 > 0:00:27Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to this special
0:00:27 > 0:00:29game-show edition of Pointless Celebrities,
0:00:29 > 0:00:30the show where the aim of the game
0:00:30 > 0:00:32is to find the most obscure answer possible.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37APPLAUSE
0:00:39 > 0:00:40And couple number one.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Hello, I'm Nina Myskow and I'm a journalist and broadcaster.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46And I'm Gyles Brandreth,
0:00:46 > 0:00:51and since there's a 1980s vibe, I think, to some of the game shows
0:00:51 > 0:00:53we're celebrating tonight, I thought
0:00:53 > 0:00:55I'd wear a jumper from the 1980s
0:00:55 > 0:00:57to look the business.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59I used to wear it to tell people who I was,
0:00:59 > 0:01:03now I wear it to remind myself who I am.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Couple number two.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12I'm Ulrika Jonsson and I'm a writer and broadcaster.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15I'm Nick Hancock and I'm unemployed by popular demand.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Couple number three.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25I'm Jenny Powell and I'm wearing Gyles' other jumper
0:01:25 > 0:01:27because it doesn't fit him any more.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31That's me, I just turn the letters round, that's all you need to know.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35I'm Tom O'Connor, I'm a retired country-and-western singer.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:01:40 > 0:01:42And, finally, couple number four.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45My name is Henry Kelly, I used to present Game For A Laugh
0:01:45 > 0:01:48with my pal Matthew here
0:01:48 > 0:01:52and then I went on to present a quiz programme called Going For Gold.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Yeah, and I'm Matthew Kelly
0:01:54 > 0:02:00and I used to do Game For A Laugh as well, but over 30 years ago now
0:02:00 > 0:02:03and I think you can never have enough Kellys in a game show.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04Hear, hear!
0:02:04 > 0:02:06APPLAUSE
0:02:07 > 0:02:10And these are today's contestants. Thanks, all of you.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15That just leaves one more person for me to introduce -
0:02:15 > 0:02:17he was born with a fifth sense for fact.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19I know what you're thinking, that should be a sixth sense
0:02:19 > 0:02:21but, actually, not in his case cos he can't smell.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Hiya, hi, everybody. APPLAUSE
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Evening.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- Good evening to you. - Good evening to you.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33A great line-up of game-show legends, isn't it?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36I feel slightly humbled by people who are much better at the job
0:02:36 > 0:02:37- than we are.- Yeah.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39We've also got people who've been on the show before.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42We've got two people who haven't been further than the first round.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46That's Nick and Gyles, but we do... We have a winner amongst us.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- Ooh!- We have a Pointless champion, a trophy holder amongst us
0:02:49 > 0:02:54and it is the mighty Tom O'Connor on podium three there.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55APPLAUSE
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Very, very much the man to beat, I suspect.- Mm.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- Well, thank you very much indeed. - Pleasure.- Richard, thank you.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Now, as ever, all our questions on Pointless have been asked to 100 people before the show.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Today's contestants are looking for those all important pointless
0:03:11 > 0:03:13answers, those being the answers that none of our 100 people knew.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Find one of those, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Now, each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity
0:03:19 > 0:03:24this evening, so we start off with a special bumper jackpot of £2,500.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- There it is. - APPLAUSE
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36So the only thing you really need to remember is that the pair
0:03:36 > 0:03:40with the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43so your job is to make sure that you are not in that pair.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Best of luck with all of that, our first category this evening is...
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- GYLES:- Oh!- International football.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54International football. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:03:54 > 0:03:56who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:04:12 > 0:04:15..as they could. Teams at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Richard.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Yup, simply looking for the names of any of the 32 nations who took
0:04:19 > 0:04:22part in the FIFA World Cup finals in 2014.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Any of those 32 teams, very best of luck.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Thank you very much indeed.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30So, Nina, we come to you first. Welcome to Pointless.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35It's lovely to have you here. Now, you, you were a judge on New Faces.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Yes, that's 30 years ago now. - 30 years ago.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41But you're a sort of proto-Cowell, I like to think.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43What do you make of these new shows?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Do you feel they've taken the ball and run with it well?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Yes, every year I sit down and think,
0:04:48 > 0:04:52"I'm not going to fall for this, not going to fall for their sob story."
0:04:52 > 0:04:55And then at the end of every show, I'm sitting there weeping, you know.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- You get sucked in, they're brilliantly done.- Very good.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- Now, Nina, football.- Mm. - Couldn't hold it off for ever.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- I'm going to take a really... - Go for it, go for it.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- Zambia.- Oh, that's clever!- Zambia.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Zambia. OK, well, let's see how clever it is.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Zambia, how many people said it? Is it right?
0:05:17 > 0:05:18Oh, I'm so sorry.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Oh, I'm sorry, I'm afraid not Zambia.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23That's an incorrect answer, I'm afraid, Nina,
0:05:23 > 0:05:25and scores you 100 points, I'm sorry.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Zambia didn't qualify, I'm afraid.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I should've said, before the round, to make it even worse for you,
0:05:29 > 0:05:31for each round on today's show
0:05:31 > 0:05:33there's a special prize, because it's a game-show special.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- And the prize for the first round is a Bendy Bully.- Oh!
0:05:37 > 0:05:41So the lowest-scoring team wins a genuine Bendy Bully.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42Oh, a Bendy Bully, Nick.
0:05:42 > 0:05:48Bendy Bully. Now, you, Nick, you started out briefly as a PE teacher.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- I did!- How long did you stick that out for?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53About a week and a half, something like that.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Room 101.- Mm.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57You did Room 101 on the radio.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- I did do Room 101 on the radio. - You got that ball rolling.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- That's right, yeah.- Did you just think, "Oh, it's just too...
0:06:03 > 0:06:06"It's no fun talking to people about things they don't like"?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08No, it was just a little bit like hard work, really,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11because there's only two people involved. On a panel show,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13it's much easier. You've got lots of people to chip in.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- I was very happy for Paul to do it. And then Frank, of course. - And then Frank.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21So, then, Nick, this is your time to shine.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- Iran.- Iran.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- Iran.- GYLES:- Oh!
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Let us see if that's right.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28I think we can trust Nick, that will be right,
0:06:28 > 0:06:30let's see how many people said Iran.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34It's right.
0:06:40 > 0:06:427 for Iran. Very well done indeed, Nick.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46APPLAUSE
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Very well played, Nick. It's a good answer, Iran.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50They were in their fourth World Cup final.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53They were the first team I completed in my sticker annual, Iran.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Tom, welcome back.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- Thank you.- An ex-champion.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Retired schoolteacher.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02A retired schoolteacher, of course, you were a schoolteacher as well.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05A schoolteacher as well. And a singer and a game show host.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08I used to host a show called Name That Tune. Does anyone remember it?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- Yeah!- Yes.- AUDIENCE: Yes.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13People still test you. It happened to me in Manchester.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16This man came towards me, he was obviously drunk,
0:07:16 > 0:07:18and he had teeth like the Ten Commandments -
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- all broken... - LAUGHTER
0:07:23 > 0:07:26He said, "I've got a tune you won't name," I said, "Go on," he went -
0:07:26 > 0:07:28# La da da, da da... #
0:07:28 > 0:07:30I said, "Strangers In The Night." He said,
0:07:30 > 0:07:32He said, "All right, for the car..."
0:07:32 > 0:07:34LAUGHTER
0:07:34 > 0:07:36"..what was the name of the dog in the song?"
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I said, "I don't know," he said - # Scooby-Dooby-Doo. #
0:07:39 > 0:07:40LAUGHTER
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Now, Tom, international football.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I'm going to say Poland.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Poland says Tom, Poland. Let's see if it's right,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51let's see how many of our 100 people said Poland.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- AUDIENCE:- Oh!- Oh, bad luck, Tom.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- GYLES:- Oh!- Scores you 100 points.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Yeah, they're usually there, Poland, but not in 2014, I'm afraid.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Thanks very much indeed. Now, Henry.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- Yes, sir.- Now, Henry, you went into Game For A Laugh
0:08:09 > 0:08:10from quite serious journalism.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- I did.- Was it that that sort of brought you into LE or had you...?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- Sorry, that's Light Entertainment. - It was, it was, in fairness,
0:08:17 > 0:08:21and then because the four of us, myself, Matt, the late Jeremy
0:08:21 > 0:08:24and Sarah Kennedy... I mean, it'd been dropped from nowhere,
0:08:24 > 0:08:26how it clicked, I have absolutely no idea.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Well, there were only three channels then.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- There was nothing else to watch. - Well, that's true.- Pretty much. - LAUGHTER
0:08:32 > 0:08:34OK, now, Henry, any national team
0:08:34 > 0:08:37that took part in the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41I will go for Cote d'Ivoire, the Ivory Coast.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Cote d'Ivoire, says Henry.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said Cote d'Ivoire.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Look at that, Henry.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Good answer.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Seven, our highest correct score.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Cote d'Ivoire stops at eight, look at that!
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Very well done indeed, Henry.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- APPLAUSE - Eight.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Yeah, well played, Henry. It's a very good answer.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06When we first met, it was at university,
0:09:06 > 0:09:10many, many years ago, and the big... the huge cult, was Going For Gold.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12It was such a huge show, wasn't it, Going For Gold?
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Even now, people talk about it. - Kind of you to say so, dear.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Well said, Richard, thank you very much indeed.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21We're halfway through the round, so let's look at those scores.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Seven, the best score of the pass, Nick. No surprises there.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Eight, lovely low score there from Henry.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Matthew, keep that up, could be you waltzing off with Bendy Bully.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30But our 100...
0:09:30 > 0:09:32our two 100 scorers there.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Yes, Gyles and Jenny,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36it's going to be between the pair of you.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Very best of luck with your answering.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Right, so, Matthew.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49- Yes.- Matthew, do you know when you did You Bet...- Yeah.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50..did you know I came on You Bet?
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- Did you?- Yeah.- How did we get on?
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- Yeah, you were lovely. You were so...- Aw, really?
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Yeah, we caught you on one of those weeks.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- LAUGHTER - You were so lovely.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- You couldn't have been nicer. - Really? Can you remember any of...
0:10:03 > 0:10:07You had some theatre dressers who came in, theatrical dressers,
0:10:07 > 0:10:10and Ben Miller and I came on
0:10:10 > 0:10:13to be the actors who came and had to run on and off and run on and off.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- That's fantastic.- It was such good fun! We had such a laugh.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- Oh, it was a great show, that. - Great show.- Yeah, I loved it.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21So, Matthew, listen, there you are, you're on eight.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24If you want to score 91 or less, if you felt in the mood,
0:10:24 > 0:10:26you'd be sure of a place in the next round.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Erm, I'll just go for a European team
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- which is always there, and that's Portugal.- Portugal, says Matthew.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Here's your red line, it'll be nice and high.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39If you can get below that with Portugal, you're into round two.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43It's right and you're through, very well done.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Did exactly what you needed.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Oh, it's not doing badly. Look at that, 27.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- APPLAUSE - Very well done.
0:10:49 > 0:10:5135 is your total.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Still in the running for the Bendy Bully.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Yeah, well played, Matthew. Perennial underachievers at the World Cup, Portugal,
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- and no changes this time. - There we go.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Thank you very much indeed.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- OK, now, Jenny.- Hello.- Jenny, welcome to Pointless.- Hi.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- Jenny, Wheel Of Fortune.- Yes.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- Huge! Huge, it was, Wheel Of Fortune.- Yeah.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12I heard you've been doing a programme
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- about food and wine in Romania. - Yeah, I have. Yeah.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Now, how is the food and wine?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Well, it has a lot of cheese and a lot of pork.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- How's the wine?- I don't drink. No, actually, it's lovely.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27- There are some beautiful... - Seriously, Romanian wine?- ..some amazing vineyards up there.- Really?
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Yeah, all on the Carpathian Mountains, we went and could see the Ukraine in the distance.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Oh, lovely.- It was beautiful, yeah. - Now, Jenny, there you are.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- You're on 100. You're joint high scorers.- Excellent.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- What are you going to go for? - I think I'm just going to...
0:11:41 > 0:11:43I've been there for a month, I'm going to say Romania.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Romania, let's see. No red line for you, as you're joint high scorers.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Let's see how many of our 100 people said Romania.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- AUDIENCE GROANS - Oh, no.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Scores you another 100 points, takes your total up to 200.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Sorry, Jenny, very nearly got there, lost in a play-off, the Romanians.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- But not there, I'm afraid. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Ulrika, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11So, Gladiators, obviously another massive, massive show
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- from the... '90s. '90s? - Yes. '90s, yeah.- Yeah.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- And obviously then Shooting Stars.- Yes.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Do you have a preference of the two?
0:12:19 > 0:12:24- Oh, two completely different ballgames.- Yeah.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29But Shooting Stars, probably, because it was just so bonkers.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- It was just mad. - Looked enormous fun, that.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Now, listen, Ulrika, if you can score 27 or less,
0:12:35 > 0:12:40- then you'll be walking away with the Bully.- OK.- OK?
0:12:40 > 0:12:42So what are you going to go for?
0:12:42 > 0:12:43Bosnia?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- Bosnia.- Yeah.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Bosnia, OK. Well, no red line for you, because you're already through,
0:12:49 > 0:12:52but let's see how many of our 100 people said Bosnia.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55It's right.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- That's a great answer, look at that! Two. - APPLAUSE
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Only the lowest score of the round so far, Ulrika,
0:13:07 > 0:13:09taking you up to nine. Very, very well done indeed.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12That's the Bendy Bully.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Great answer, Ulrika. Yeah, their first World Cup, Bosnia.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Edin Dzeko is their leading striker.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Used to be the lead singer of Dzeko And The Bunnymen. LAUGHTER
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- Shall we present, or... - I think we probably should.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- OK.- But congratulations, very well earned, I have to say.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30We're going to have to work out access, aren't we?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- You have it for six months, I have it for six months. - I'll tell you what,
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- I have two bullies at home, meaning I've got two bulldogs at home, so you can...- There we are.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- I'll let you have that for the first six months of next year. - Thank you. How wonderful.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Congratulations.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47That is a beautiful, beautiful thing. Very well done indeed.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49There we go.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- So, yes, Gyles.- Yeah.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54So that is your signature, then, is it?
0:13:54 > 0:13:55This is my signature.
0:13:55 > 0:14:00I wore this originally, because I read somewhere that people...
0:14:00 > 0:14:02What they remember is what they see, not what they hear.
0:14:02 > 0:14:0587% of what people recall is what they see,
0:14:05 > 0:14:09only 13% what they hear. And my wife explained to me that when I'm on,
0:14:09 > 0:14:11people always watch with the sound turned down anyway.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13LAUGHTER
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- Now, listen, Gyles.- Yeah. - You have to score 99 or less.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20You have to, otherwise we will enter lockdown.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23I'm going to go for a team that I knew took part.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24May I offer...
0:14:24 > 0:14:25England!
0:14:25 > 0:14:27QUIET SOLITARY CHEER
0:14:28 > 0:14:31LAUGHTER
0:14:31 > 0:14:33That's the state of the game in this country!
0:14:33 > 0:14:37This, I think, tells us all we need to know about English football.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38Yeah.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40OK, Gyles, good answer. England, you are saying.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43There is your red line there, just below the pink line.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45If you get below that red line, you are through to round two.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49Let's see if England's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- It's right, and you're through. - APPLAUSE
0:14:52 > 0:14:5587 people said England, that is good enough.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58187 sees you cantering through to the next round.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Very well done, Gyles and Nina.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Yeah, did all you had to do there, just get a correct answer.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Now, there are no pointless answers at all.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08The best answer out of all the 32 countries
0:15:08 > 0:15:11is Bosnia. Best answer you could've come up with.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13APPLAUSE Well played, Ulrika.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Now, Honduras would've scored you three,
0:15:17 > 0:15:20would've been a very good answer, and Algeria would've scored you six.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Other good answers - South Korea, nine, and Ghana, nine.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Switzerland, Nigeria - 11. And 12 for Columbia and Croatia.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Those were the best answers you could've given. Let's take a look at the top three answers,
0:15:30 > 0:15:33the ones that most of our 100 people said. Brazil, 71.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Germany would've scored you 83 and England,
0:15:35 > 0:15:38finally winning something, with 87.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40LAUGHTER
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44So, at the end of our first round, I'm sorry to say,
0:15:44 > 0:15:46the pair who are heading home with a high score of 200,
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Jenny and Tom. I'm so sorry.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52I'm sorry. It feels wrong to be saying goodbye so soon,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54but come and play again.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Could we be on the show when Gyles isn't?
0:15:57 > 0:15:58LAUGHTER
0:16:00 > 0:16:05- Thank you very much indeed. Jenny and Tom, wonderful contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:16:06 > 0:16:09But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14And so we're down to three pairs.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye
0:16:16 > 0:16:19to another pair in time for our head-to-head round.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20Well, well done, Nick and Ulrika.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Ulrika, the lowest individual score,
0:16:22 > 0:16:25and your combined score the lowest combined score.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Well done, Matthew and Henry, lovely solid low scoring from you,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31and well done, Gyles and Nina, for fluking it through.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32- LAUGHTER - That was brilliant.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- Absolutely fantastic. - For two people who know nothing
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- and care less, as I say, about football.- There we are.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43Well, listen, best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for round two this evening is...
0:16:43 > 0:16:44Oh, it's film.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47It's film. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:16:47 > 0:16:49who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57OK, and the question concerns...
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Dance films.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03Dance films. Richard?
0:17:03 > 0:17:06On each board, we're going to show you six descriptions of films
0:17:06 > 0:17:09that are centred around some form of dance or dancing.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11You just need to give us the names of the films, please.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13There's going to be six on each board, 12 in all,
0:17:13 > 0:17:16to have a go at at home, and for the team who gets the lowest score
0:17:16 > 0:17:18in this round, your prize will be...
0:17:18 > 0:17:21a Blankety Blank cheque-book and pen.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- ALL: Oooooh! Genuine.- What about that?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25APPLAUSE
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Oh, brilliant.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32So, we are looking for the dance films
0:17:32 > 0:17:34described by the following six clues.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Here is the first board of six. And we have...
0:18:02 > 0:18:04I'll read those all again without the dates...
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Nina?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26I'm going to go for number two...
0:18:29 > 0:18:33- ..Singing in the Rain. - Singing in the Rain, says Nina.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Let's see how many people said Singing in the Rain. Is it right?
0:18:38 > 0:18:39It is right.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Look at that, 13 for Singing in the Rain.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Good answer, Nina.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Great answer, Nina, very well played.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54You did exactly what you needed to do.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Now, Ulrika, what are you going to go for?
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Um, I will go for the top one...
0:19:02 > 0:19:04..I think, which is Black Swan.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Black Swan, says Ulrika. Let's see if that's right
0:19:07 > 0:19:09and how many of our 100 people said Black Swan.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13It's right.
0:19:13 > 0:19:1513 is our only score so far.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Black Swan goes to 42.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Not bad.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Well played, Ulrika.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25The score to that, which was not eligible for an Oscar,
0:19:25 > 0:19:27because it was a slight reworking of Swan Lake,
0:19:27 > 0:19:29was done by Clint Mansell of Pop Will Eat Itself.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- Really?- Yes.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35There we go. Thank you very much indeed. So, now, Matthew.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Matthew, you're the last person to have this board,
0:19:37 > 0:19:40do you want to talk us through the board and fill in the blanks?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Yeah, I'd LOVE to talk you through it.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44The bottom one is obviously Billy Elliot.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46And I think the next one is Footloose,
0:19:46 > 0:19:48or it's the other way around.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51I'll go for the third one down, I think that's Dirty Dancing.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54OK, Dirty Dancing, says Matthew.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Let's see how many people said Dirty Dancing.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Well, it's right. 42 is our high score until now.
0:20:01 > 0:20:0474 for Dirty Dancing.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07That's a big score for Dirty Dancing.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09A very iconic film these days.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11- It actually scores more than Billy Elliot.- Really?
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Billy Elliot would have scored you 55 points.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16It wouldn't have been a bad answer at all, isn't that amazing?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Janey falls for her partner Jeff, it's not Footloose,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21it's Girls Just Want To Have Fun.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24It would have scored you three points.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28Antonio Banderas stars in this last one, and it's a pointless answer.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Very well done if you said Take the Lead.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Take The Lead.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35A terrific answer.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Thank you very much indeed. We're halfway through the round, let's look at those scores.
0:20:38 > 0:20:4113, the best score of that pass, very well done indeed, Nina.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Then up to 42 where we find Ulrika and Nick.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Then to 74, the Kellys. Henry, a nice low score from you.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49You'll be the first person to have the next board
0:20:49 > 0:20:51so find a really good low score there and let's hope
0:20:51 > 0:20:53that's enough to keep you in the game.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55We're going to come back down the line now,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57can the second players step up to the podium.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02OK, let's put six more clues up on the board and here they come.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04We've got:
0:21:30 > 0:21:32I'll read those one last time.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Henry, you are the high scorers.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59No target particularly for you to aim for, just a low score.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02I'll go for the second one down,
0:22:03 > 0:22:04and say, Chicago.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Chicago, says Henry.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08No red line for you as you're the high scorers.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Let's see how many people said Chicago.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14It's right.
0:22:18 > 0:22:1937.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Not bad, it takes your total up to 111.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Well played, Henry, nominated for 13 Oscars, Chicago.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Winning six, including Best Picture.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Thanks very much indeed. Now, Nick.
0:22:31 > 0:22:3668 points or less will see you through to the next round.
0:22:36 > 0:22:41I'm going to have to go to students at a New York Performing Arts School
0:22:41 > 0:22:43training for careers in show business,
0:22:43 > 0:22:44and hope it's Fame.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Fame, says Nick. There's your red line, it's nice and high.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49If you can get below that with Fame,
0:22:49 > 0:22:50you're into the head-to-head for sure.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54Let's see if it's right and see how many people said Fame.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57It's right.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01You're going to live for ever, Nick. Look at that, 56, well done.
0:23:01 > 0:23:0398's your total.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07Well played, Nick.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10It won two Oscars, Best Original Song for Fame
0:23:10 > 0:23:11and for Original Score.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now then, Gyles.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Gyles, this board is all yours. Do you want to talk us through it?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21I can say that I think
0:23:21 > 0:23:25what number three is, because that's my poor man's John Travolta.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27But I'm going to go for the next one down.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30I think the film is going to be Moulin Rouge.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- Moulin Rouge, says Gyles. - LAUGHTER
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Here comes your red line, it's lovely and high.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38If you get below that, you are into the head-to-head comfortably.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said Moulin Rouge.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43It's right.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Through you go. Well done, Gyles.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49That's a very, very good answer.
0:23:49 > 0:23:50Seven, look at that.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53It takes your total to 20.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56There's a cheque book and pen in it for you, Gyles and Nina!
0:23:57 > 0:24:00With Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03it's a terrific answer, Gyles, and even better than that,
0:24:03 > 0:24:06you and Nina have just won yourself a Blankety Blank cheque book and pen!
0:24:06 > 0:24:08APPLAUSE
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- Ah, it's wonderful.- There we go.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Oh, good Lord!
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- You won a Blankety Blank cheque-book. - Did you do Blankety Blank?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- LAUGHTER - Thank you.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Well done.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22There we are.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24That's a fabulous thing to have.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Now, I'll take you through the rest of this board.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30You're absolutely right about John Travolta.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33It's Saturday Night Fever, of course.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35The biggest score on the board, actually 58 points.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40The overworked lawyer, that is in Shall We Dance.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Two points.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43The former salsa champion, a very recent one with Nick Frost,
0:24:43 > 0:24:45is Cuban Fury.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46That would've scored you eight.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Shall We Dance is the best answer on the board.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Thank you very much indeed, so at the end of our second round,
0:24:51 > 0:24:53I'm afraid the pair heading home
0:24:53 > 0:24:55with a high score of 111 is Henry and Matthew.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57It's been such a treat having you both on the show.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Thank you so much for playing. Please come and play again.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- Henry and Matthew! Wonderful people. - APPLAUSE
0:25:05 > 0:25:09But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Congratulations Nick and Ulrika, Gyles and Nina.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16You are now one step closer to the final
0:25:16 > 0:25:18and a chance to play for our jackpot
0:25:18 > 0:25:21which currently stands at £2,500.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23APPLAUSE
0:25:25 > 0:25:27This is that exciting round
0:25:27 > 0:25:30when we decide who goes through to the final and plays for the jackpot.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32We do that by making you go head-to-head.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34The good news is you're now allowed to confer
0:25:34 > 0:25:37and the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38I thought for this round,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- I thought we'd have a consolation prize.- Yeah.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43So the consolation prize is...
0:25:43 > 0:25:45a Countdown teapot.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47- Oh, that's lovely.- Look at that!
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- It looks quite familiar. - GENTLE LAUGHTER
0:25:49 > 0:25:50Thank you very much indeed.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53If everyone is ready, let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:26:04 > 0:26:05..children's authors.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Children's authors. Richard?
0:26:07 > 0:26:10We're about to show you five photos now of authors of children's books.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Can you identify the most obscure? The very best of luck.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Thanks very much indeed.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Let's reveal our five children's authors in photographic form
0:26:17 > 0:26:19and here they come. We have got...
0:26:25 > 0:26:26- GYLES:- Oh!
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- ULRIKA:- Ssh.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- GYLES:- Ah! - LAUGHTER
0:26:38 > 0:26:40- GYLES:- Oh...
0:26:41 > 0:26:42OK, there we are.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Nick and Ulrika, you've been our lowest scorers overall,
0:26:45 > 0:26:47so you will go first.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48We know C and D, don't we?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Is A Beatrix Potter?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55A, Beatrix Potter, say Nick and Ulrika.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Now, then, Gyles and Nina,
0:26:58 > 0:27:00talk us through the rest of the board if you can.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- B is completely anonymous. - Lost to us.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05C we know is JK Rowling.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07D we know is Roald Dahl.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10E, we think is JRR Tolkien.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- Tolkien.- Tolkien! E is Tolkien!
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Tolkien. OK, so we have JRR Tolkien.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20We have Beatrix Potter and we have JRR Tolkien.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Nick and Ulrika went for Beatrix Potter.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Shall we see if that's right and if it is,
0:27:24 > 0:27:27let's see how many people said Beatrix Potter.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31It's right, it IS Beatrix Potter.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34Down it goes...
0:27:34 > 0:27:35- to 31. - APPLAUSE
0:27:39 > 0:27:4231. Now,
0:27:42 > 0:27:45IS E JRR Tolkien?
0:27:45 > 0:27:46How many people would've known that?
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Let's find out. Tolkien, is that right?
0:27:51 > 0:27:52It IS Tolkien.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55It is Tolkien, it has to beat 31.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57And it does, very well done indeed.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Look at that, 4, very good.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- APPLAUSE - Great answer.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Which means, Gyles and Nina, after one question you are up 1-0.
0:28:07 > 0:28:08Two very good answers there.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10It doesn't look much like Beatrix Potter.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12I think the reason is we took it from her...
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Facebook page, it's a selfie. LAUGHTER
0:28:15 > 0:28:17She was in Ibiza and underneath it it says,
0:28:17 > 0:28:19"OMG, have just finished Miss Tiggy-Winkle."
0:28:19 > 0:28:20LAUGHTER
0:28:20 > 0:28:24B is the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid author.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Huge seller round the world, Jeff Kinney is his name
0:28:27 > 0:28:28and he's a pointless answer.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Let's take a look at the next one.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32C is JK Rowling,
0:28:32 > 0:28:34would've scored you 75.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37D, now, you nearly went for Roald Dahl, didn't you?
0:28:37 > 0:28:38And if you had, you would've lost the point.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Would've scored you 47.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Thank you very much, Richard. OK, here comes your second question.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Now, Nick and Ulrika, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Best of luck. Here it comes, it concerns...
0:28:49 > 0:28:52- GYLES:- Oh, please!
0:28:52 > 0:28:54TV sports themes. Richard.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56We're going to play you five pieces of music now
0:28:56 > 0:28:59which are excerpts from TV themes associated with sport.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01We just need you to tell us the sport
0:29:01 > 0:29:04with which the following are most associated, please.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07- Very best of luck.- Thank you very much, let's listen to our
0:29:07 > 0:29:09five excerpts and here they come. We've got A...
0:29:09 > 0:29:13MUSIC: Light And Tuneful by Keith Mansfield
0:29:23 > 0:29:25..B...
0:29:25 > 0:29:27MUSIC: The Chain by Fleetwood Mac
0:29:37 > 0:29:39..C...
0:29:39 > 0:29:41MUSIC: Pop Looks Bach by Sam Fonteyn
0:29:50 > 0:29:52..D...
0:29:52 > 0:29:54MUSIC: Soul Limbo by Booker T & The MG's
0:30:08 > 0:30:10..and E.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13MUSIC: Holy Mackerel by Brian Bennett
0:30:20 > 0:30:23OK, there we are. Gyles and Nina, we come to you.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25So we... Do you want to go for C?
0:30:25 > 0:30:26Show-jumping.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29C, show-jumping say Gyles and Nina. Show-jumping.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Now, Nick and Ulrika...
0:30:31 > 0:30:34We thought A was Ski Sunday,
0:30:34 > 0:30:36or Wimbledon, we weren't sure.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38B was...
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- remind me of the music. - Formula- 1. Formula 1.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44C, we thought Horse Of The Year Show,
0:30:44 > 0:30:46but it could also have been Ski Sunday.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49D's definitely Time Is Tight by Booker T & The MG's,
0:30:49 > 0:30:52that's the cricket and E we think is Pot Black.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55I'm going to say...
0:30:57 > 0:30:58E is Pot Black.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00- So snooker.- Snooker, snooker.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03OK, E, snooker. So, we have show-jumping and we have snooker.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Gyles and Nina said show-jumping. Let's see if that's right
0:31:06 > 0:31:10and if it is, let's see how many people said show-jumping.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14No, C, not show-jumping.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19Nick and Ulrika, meanwhile, have said that E is snooker.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23Let's see if that's right. All it has to be at this point is right.
0:31:23 > 0:31:24(Means it's wrong.)
0:31:25 > 0:31:28No! Both wrong as it turns out.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32Which means we go back to Richard who'll tell us everything.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Yeah, it's amazing, they're all familiar bits of music
0:31:35 > 0:31:37but, actually, very hard to work out the sports for some of them.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41So, A, which I confidently thought was the golf, let's have a listen.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43MUSIC: Light And Tuneful by Keith Mansfield
0:31:43 > 0:31:46- Football.- It's not Match Of The Day, it's Wimbledon. It's tennis.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48- Oh, it's tennis! - It's Wimbledon.- Of course it is.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50You see? Would've scored you 28.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54Now, B is probably the most recognisable of all of them.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56That is, of course, motor racing, Formula 1.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57MUSIC: The Chain by Fleetwood Mac
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Would've scored you 71.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02C, which I also thought was the Horse Of The Year Show...
0:32:02 > 0:32:04MUSIC: Pop Looks Bach by Sam Fonteyn
0:32:04 > 0:32:08- ..and it's Ski Sunday. - Ski Sunday, of course it is.- Skiing.
0:32:08 > 0:32:1134 points. Such a familiar piece of music. It's ridiculous when...
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- That first bit's very horsey, isn't it?- Yeah, absolutely.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17D, should have gone with D, it's, again, unmistakably the cricket.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19MUSIC: Soul Limbo by Booker T & The MG's
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Would've only scored 51 points, actually.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Not a bad answer. And...
0:32:25 > 0:32:28E, which you thought was...you thought was Pot Black,
0:32:28 > 0:32:29I thought was Junior Kick Start.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32I was absolutely convinced it was and it's neither of those things.
0:32:32 > 0:32:33It's actually...
0:32:33 > 0:32:35MUSIC: Holy Mackerel by Brian Bennet
0:32:35 > 0:32:37..Rugby Special.
0:32:37 > 0:32:38Would've scored you 9 points.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- Sounds like the theme tune to... - I confused Pot Black and All Black.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45LAUGHTER
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Well, listen, at the end of our second question,
0:32:47 > 0:32:52it remains 1-0 to Gyles and Nina, so, once again, Nick and Ulrika,
0:32:52 > 0:32:56you have to win this one to stay in the game, so best of luck. It concerns...
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Oh, that's good. Bands and their tribute acts. Richard.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05We're going to show you the names of five tribute acts now,
0:33:05 > 0:33:08you just need to tell us which band they are the tribute act for.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11OK, here we go, let's reveal our five tribute acts and here they come.
0:33:11 > 0:33:12We've got...
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Nick and Ulrika will go first.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- (West End Girls is...) - (The Pet Shop Boys?)- (Yeah.)
0:33:31 > 0:33:35OK. West End Girls is the Pet Shop Boys.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Pet Shop Boys.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Stands to reason. West End Girls, Pet Shop Boys.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Now, Gyles and Nina, the board's all yours.
0:33:43 > 0:33:44Talk us through it and tell us
0:33:44 > 0:33:47who you think those acts are tributing.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Bjorn Again is ABBA.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Jean Genie I assume is Bowie,
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Sticky Fingers, Rolling Stones.
0:33:54 > 0:33:55Shall we risk it?
0:33:55 > 0:33:58What else could it be? Apart from Duran Duran? Joanne Joanne.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00OK, Duran Duran say Gyles and Nina.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03So we have Pet Shop Boys and we have Duran Duran.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Now, Nick and Ulrika said Pet Shop Boys for West End Girls.
0:34:06 > 0:34:07Let's see if that's right
0:34:07 > 0:34:11and if it is, let's see how many people said Pet Shop Boys.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13It is Pet Shop Boys.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15It is Pet Shop Boys.
0:34:15 > 0:34:1752.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18APPLAUSE
0:34:19 > 0:34:2252 people recognised West End Girls.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Now, Gyles and Nina, gone out on a bit of a limb here
0:34:25 > 0:34:29with Joanne Joanne as a Duran Duran tribute band.
0:34:29 > 0:34:30Let's see if that's right
0:34:30 > 0:34:33and if it is, let's see how many people said Duran Duran.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36It is Duran Duran.
0:34:37 > 0:34:38And it wins you the point.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Wow, really wins you the point. 17, look at that.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45APPLAUSE
0:34:45 > 0:34:49Well, there we go. Very well done indeed, Gyles and Nina.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51You are straight through to the final 2-0.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Great news, Nick and Ulrika, you've won a Countdown teapot.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56- Yay!- Yay!- Whey!
0:34:56 > 0:34:58APPLAUSE
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Well played, you did exactly the right thing there.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03An all-female Duran Duran band, as are West End Girls,
0:35:03 > 0:35:05an all-female Pet Shop Boys.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08The band Bjorn Again, you're right, is ABBA.
0:35:08 > 0:35:1178. Jean Genie, as you knew, was David Bowie.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Would've scored more than the Pet Shop Boys, would've scored 55
0:35:14 > 0:35:17and quite a low scorer for The Rolling Stones,
0:35:17 > 0:35:20Sticky Fingers, because you have to know that's a Rolling Stones album
0:35:20 > 0:35:22and it would've scored you 28 points.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25So, Duran Duran actually the best answer on the board.
0:35:25 > 0:35:26Thank you very much, Richard.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:29 > 0:35:32I'm so sorry, you've done so well, Nick and Ulrika, I mean,
0:35:32 > 0:35:34you've gone through this show like a knife through butter.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37But I'm afraid this is where we have to say goodbye to you.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Lovely having you on the show, please come again.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41- Nick and Ulrika. - APPLAUSE
0:35:43 > 0:35:46But for Gyles and Nina it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Congratulations, Gyles and Nina.
0:35:52 > 0:35:53You've seen off all the competition
0:35:53 > 0:35:56and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:36:04 > 0:36:08for your charities and, at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:36:10 > 0:36:12APPLAUSE
0:36:13 > 0:36:17Ah. Did you ever doubt you were going to end up in this spot?
0:36:17 > 0:36:21- I mean, even when you gave Zambia as your first answer...- Zambia.
0:36:21 > 0:36:22I started with Zambia.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26100 points. No, I never thought we'd get past the first round with that.
0:36:26 > 0:36:27But here you are.
0:36:27 > 0:36:28Now, as always,
0:36:28 > 0:36:31you get to choose your category for this last round, which is nice.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34We'll put four up on the board. Here they come.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47- The year 1992. - Can we remember the year 1992?
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Well, it is the year that I became a Member of Parliament.
0:36:50 > 0:36:55So I would go for 1992 because the Rich List envy prevents me
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- from reading this ever. - OK, the year 1992 it is. Richard.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Yeah, three very different questions here.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03We're looking for any cast member of the 1992 film
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Wayne's World according to IMDb, we're looking for any act who
0:37:06 > 0:37:10had a Number 1 album in 1992, just the name of the act, please,
0:37:10 > 0:37:13or we are looking for any British medal-winner
0:37:13 > 0:37:16of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Any colour medal, so as long as they were from the British team.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21So the cast of Wayne's World, any act which had a Number 1 album
0:37:21 > 0:37:25in 1992, or any British medal-winner at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Very, very best of luck.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Thank you very much indeed.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31As always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three
0:37:31 > 0:37:34answers and all you need to win that jackpot for your charities
0:37:34 > 0:37:37is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- No, but we're going through with it. - Big of you.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44There they are. Your time start now.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- Right, cast of Wayne's World. It was Mike something. Mike...- Mike Myers.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- Mike Myers.- Mike Myers, that's about all I can remember.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53I remember him but everybody would've heard of him.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Number 1 albums is where you should be good.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- You were the queen of pop in 1992. - I can't remember 1992.- Oh, come on.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00- I can't.- It's- 1962 - you can't remember.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- 1992 you must be able to remember. - It could be a Spice Girls album.- Ah!
0:38:03 > 0:38:05But I can't remember a Spice Girls album.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Who would want to remember a Spice Girls album?
0:38:07 > 0:38:10We'll come up with something. So that's your one
0:38:10 > 0:38:13and the British medal-winners... What about Tessa Sanderson?
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- Do you think she...?- No, no, she'd been and gone by then.- 1992...
0:38:16 > 0:38:21- Come on, who...?- Seb Coe. He and I became MPs on the same day in 1992.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- But, of course, he wasn't... - Yes, OK, but who WAS in 1992?
0:38:24 > 0:38:26I've no idea who was in 1992!
0:38:26 > 0:38:30All I know is that Freddie Mercury sang the theme song with...
0:38:30 > 0:38:34- Yeah, but that's irrelevant. - I know, I know, I know.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36- Ten seconds left.- We're running out of time now.- We are.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38The British medal-winners.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Think of any sports figure from there,
0:38:40 > 0:38:43somebody who played Ping-Pong or something.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46- Erm...- I don't know any sports at all.- No, I don't know anything.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Oh, no! That's your time up. OK, let's have three answers.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51OK, Mike Myers.
0:38:51 > 0:38:52That's my impression of him.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56- OK, Mike Myers from Wayne's World. - Number 1 albums - Spice Girls...
0:38:56 > 0:39:00- Spice Girls.- Yup, I think it was called Spice Girls.
0:39:00 > 0:39:01Spice Girls. And third answer?
0:39:01 > 0:39:06- Who was that runner? Carl somebody? - Carl Lewis! Carl Lewis!
0:39:06 > 0:39:07LAUGHTER
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Of those three, which do you think
0:39:09 > 0:39:11is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:11 > 0:39:14- Forgive me... - HE LAUGHS THEATRICALLY
0:39:14 > 0:39:15LAUGHTER
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Which do you think is your best shot?
0:39:17 > 0:39:19- Carl...- Never mind the pointless answer,
0:39:19 > 0:39:21what about the pointless question, mate?
0:39:21 > 0:39:22LAUGHTER
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Which is your...? Carl Lewis goes last.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27- OK, least likely to be pointless? - Wayne's World.- Mike Myers.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Wayne's World, Mike Myers we'll put first
0:39:29 > 0:39:32and then we'll put Spice Girls by the Spice Girls in the middle.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Let's put those answers up on the board in that order,
0:39:34 > 0:39:36and here they are. We have got...
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Let's just think for a moment.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Maybe one of those is pointless
0:39:44 > 0:39:46and you will win that jackpot for your charities.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49What ARE your charities? Gyles, I come to you first.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53- Mine's a charity called Kidneys For Life.- Excellent. Nina?
0:39:53 > 0:39:54APPLAUSE
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Save The Children.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Very good, well, two great charities. Let's hope...
0:40:01 > 0:40:03APPLAUSE
0:40:03 > 0:40:06..let's hope against hope that one of these answers
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- might win that jackpot.- I think...
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Mike Myers was your least confident answer.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Only one of these answers has to be pointless
0:40:13 > 0:40:15for you to win that jackpot, let's see.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Mike Myers, we were looking for cast members
0:40:17 > 0:40:21of Wayne's World for £2,500, how many people said Mike Myers?
0:40:25 > 0:40:26Well, it's right.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Down it goes, through the '60s,
0:40:29 > 0:40:30still going through the '50s.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33- '40s, 44.- Wow, I'm staggered. - APPLAUSE
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Wow, there you go. 44 for Mike Myers.
0:40:37 > 0:40:38Oh, yeah.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Unfortunately not a pointless answer,
0:40:40 > 0:40:42which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:42 > 0:40:47Your next answer was the Spice Girls. Spice Girls - Spice Girls.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50We were looking for Number 1 albums from 1992.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54Let's find out. For £2,500, how many people said Spice Girls.
0:40:57 > 0:40:58No.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:41:01 > 0:41:04which means you only have one more shot at today's jackpot.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:41:06 > 0:41:08which was Carl Lewis.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Remember we were looking for any BRITISH medal-winner...
0:41:11 > 0:41:13- LAUGHTER - No, no, it's fine.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17So, Carl Lewis, was he part of the British team?
0:41:17 > 0:41:18No, he wasn't. No.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Was he a British medallist at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992
0:41:21 > 0:41:25for £2,500? Let's find out how many people said Carl Lewis.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32I'm afraid an incorrect answer, I'm afraid.
0:41:32 > 0:41:33APPLAUSE
0:41:35 > 0:41:39Well, a very sporting final round from you considering you were,
0:41:39 > 0:41:40you were struggling, I think.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Completely pathetic, completely pathetic.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44A very good effort, but I'm afraid you don't
0:41:44 > 0:41:47win today's jackpot of £2,500 for your charities but,
0:41:47 > 0:41:51as today's show is a celebrity special, we are going to donate
0:41:51 > 0:41:54£500 to each celebrity pair to give to their respective charities.
0:41:54 > 0:41:55Thank you.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58And you get to take home a Pointless trophy each, so do not forget that
0:41:58 > 0:42:01along with your Blankety Blank chequebook and pen.
0:42:01 > 0:42:02APPLAUSE
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Yeah, very well played, that's very unlucky.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Carl Lewis, American, Spice Girls' first album wasn't until 1996,
0:42:10 > 0:42:13but we'll take you through the pointless answers in all
0:42:13 > 0:42:16the different categories, see how you've done at home.
0:42:16 > 0:42:17Cast of Wayne's World...
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Alice Cooper plays himself in that film,
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Lara Flynn Boyle is in the film, Meatloaf,
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Michael Deluise is one of their friends
0:42:24 > 0:42:27who's in the car during the Bohemian Rhapsody part of that film.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31Let's take a look at bands who had Number 1 albums in 1992.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33You could've had Bon Jovi, Neil Diamond,
0:42:33 > 0:42:35you could've had Genesis, Def Leppard.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38And British medal-winners in 1992,
0:42:38 > 0:42:40there were quite a few and a lot of them were pointless.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Chris Boardman won in the cycling.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Jonny Searle who won with his brother Greg Searle
0:42:44 > 0:42:46and Garry Herbert in the rowing and won gold.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50Kriss Akabusi won two bronzes, Nicola Fairbrother in the judo.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52In fact, every medallist was a pointless answer,
0:42:52 > 0:42:55everyone apart from Linford Christie, Sally Gunnell,
0:42:55 > 0:42:56Steve Redgrave, Matthew Pinsent,
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Steve Backley, John Regis and Roger Black,
0:42:58 > 0:43:02so if you said any other medal-winners, you would've won the money.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04It's been brilliant fun, such a lovely show,
0:43:04 > 0:43:08- it's been lovely having you here, sorry about the final category. - Thanks very much, Richard.
