British Film Pointless Celebrities

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Thank you very much indeed.

Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to this special

British film edition of Pointless Celebrities,

the game where we aim for the obscure and we ignore the obvious.

Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities.

APPLAUSE

And couple number one.

Hi, my name's Keith Allen. I'm Alfie and Lily Allen's dad.

I'm a jobbing actor and a very close friend of Clare.

Hello, yes, I'm Clare Grogan

and I am a girl who just can't make her mind up, really.

I'm an actress,

presenter, singer,

an author,

the world's most embarrassing mum.

Yeah, I'm a bit all over the place, really.

APPLAUSE

Couple number two.

Hello, I'm Leslie and I'm an actress.

LAUGHTER

Hello, I'm Phil

and I'm all those things and more.

APPLAUSE

Couple number three.

Hello, I'm Sally and I'm an actress, too.

Hello, yeah, strangely enough, my name's Phil and I'm an actor, too.

And I was in Gone With The Wind and I used to be Clark Gable.

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

And, finally, couple number four.

I'm Vas Blackwood.

I played Rory Breaker in Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels

and the Shadow in Only Fools And Horses.

It's really nice to be here and we're in it to win it.

LAUGHTER

My name's Thomas Turgoose,

more known for playing Shaun Fields in This Is England.

Ten years on, I'm still clinging onto that.

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

And these are today's contestants. Thanks very much, all of you.

We'll find out more about you each throughout the show

as it goes along. That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

An Eiffel Tower of intellect.

Yes, he's very clever

and he lets tourists climb him for 15 euros.

LAUGHTER

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

APPLAUSE Hiya. Hey, everybody.

-Good evening to you.

-Good evening to you.

-What a line-up we've got here.

-I know.

-Genuinely, some of the stars of some of the greatest

British films of all time.

It'd be a nice weekend to watch... You've got This Is England,

you've got Lock, Stock. You've got Quadrophenia.

We've also got some experienced Pointless players, here, as well.

We've got Sally, who's been on before.

Got knocked out in Round Two, last time.

We've also got Phil Daniels, who got knocked out in Round Two.

We've got a Pointless legend with us.

-Yes.

-Phil Cornwell.

-Moi?

Who has not only won Pointless, he's got a pointless answer,

as well, on a previous edition.

So, he is the man to beat, although Vas and Thomas seem very confident,

I have to say.

-That's right, that's right.

-Let the battle be joined.

Thank you very much, Richard. Now, as usual,

all of today's questions have been put to 100 people before the show.

Our contestants are looking for those pointless answers.

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

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

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

each of our lovely celebrities here is playing for a nominated charity.

We will start off with a bumper jackpot of £2,500.

-APPLAUSE

-There it is.

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

APPLAUSE

OK, so, the only thing you have to remember is that the pair

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

So, just make sure you are not that pair.

Our first category this evening is...

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

who's going to go second?

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

OK. And the question concerns...

Works of art and pop songs with shared words in their titles.

On each board we're going to show you seven pairs of titles.

One is a work of art, one is a UK top 40 single.

They share a word and we've left that word out, please.

All you have to do is fill in the gap.

There's going to be seven on each board,

14 in all to have a go at at home. Very best of luck.

Thanks very much.

So, we are looking for the word that is shared between

these pairs of titles.

Here's our first board of seven.

I'm going to read those one last time.

-There we go. Now, Clare, welcome.

-Yes, hello.

Now, I read somewhere that Bill Forsyth,

who made Gregory's Girl, discovered you in a spaghetti factory.

Is there any truth in that?

I was working as a waitress, not in a cocktail bar,

but in a pasta restaurant called The Spaghetti Factory.

Oh, not a spaghetti factory, it was called The Spaghetti Factory. I see.

-So, Gregory's Girl came along and then Altered Images.

-Yes.

Were they just two separate irons you had in the fire?

Or did one sort of slightly grow out of the other?

The year that Gregory's Girl came out was the summer

I left school and that summer I also got signed to Epic Records.

But I never ever mentioned to the record label that

I had made a movie and I never mentioned to the movie people

that I was in a band.

We were very, very naive back then.

-Now, Clare.

-Yes.

-How are we feeling about this board?

-Um, mm-hm...

-OK, I'm going to go for the Bjork one. Venus.

-Venus, says Clare.

Let's see if that is right

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

It's right.

Still going down, Clare, still going down. Still it goes down...

-APPLAUSE

-..to 12. That's a lovely score.

Great start to the show. Thanks very much, Clare.

Well done, 12.

Well played, Clare. Terrific start from podium one. 12 points.

Venus As A Boy by Bjork and Birth Of Venus by Botticelli.

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

Leslie. Leslie, welcome to Pointless.

-Thank you.

-It's lovely to have you here.

Now, you started out at the very,

-very tender age of something like four.

-Four.

In a Fairy Liquid commercial.

That's true.

Then, one of the great cornerstone films, Quadrophenia.

Then you went on to be in, certainly,

the biggest sitcom of the '90s.

-I've been very lucky, actually.

-You've been very good, to be fair.

Thank you. I've enjoyed it all, actually.

Quadrophenia, you get lots...

When you go out on tour and you get people who come to see you

and they always bring loads and loads of pictures of Quadrophenia...

-Yeah.

-..for you to sign,

and it's just gone on and on forever, that film.

-What are you up to at the moment?

-I'm trying to write a sitcom.

-Excellent.

-Which is very difficult. I'd rather be in one.

Well, very, very best of luck with that.

Now, Leslie, look at this board.

This board of works of art and songs.

OK, I'm going to go for the obvious one, which is...living.

-Dining/Kitchen/Living, Living Doll.

-Dining/Kitchen/Living.

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

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

It's right. Well, we had 12...

-Yee!

-APPLAUSE

75!

75 for living.

Yeah, big scorer, I think, Living Doll. Very popular song.

Living Doll, number one single for Cliff Richard, of course.

And Dining/Kitchen/Living, a number eight painting for Patrick Caulfield.

-There you go, thanks very much. Phil, welcome back.

-Hello, mate.

Oh, you've got to be looking for that pair.

Well, yes, the double, as it were.

Phil, you started out doing impressions.

-I did.

-But huge films you've had.

-You've had massive...

-No...

-Alpha Papa.

-Massive, massive hits.

-Stop.

Are they going to do another Alpha Papa film? Please say yes.

I don't know. That's, yeah, that's possible, I would say,

maybe down the line. I have no idea, but only Steve would know that.

I just did a Mid Morning Matters with him, which was really funny.

In the studio, it was a very funny... With Dave Clifton.

-Where do you do Mid Morning Matters?

-In Croydon.

LAUGHTER

-Actually in a studio...

-In an office building.

-Oh, it's an office?

It's just one of those, you know, grey, horrible...

Nothing wrong with Croydon. I like Croydon.

Be nice when it's finished. Anyway...

-LAUGHTER

-I'm here all week, try the veal.

Now...

It's all timing, innit? Carry on, sorry, mate. Your show.

LAUGHTER

So, Phil, what are you going to go for on our lovely board?

Right, I'm going to go for And When Did You Last See Your Father?

Father, says Phil. Let's see if that's right

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

Well, 75's our high score, you pass that.

12 is our low score. 42.

-APPLAUSE

-Nice midway point there, 42.

-Not bad at all.

-Well played, Phil.

Yeah, Father Figure, George Michael. It's from the Faith album.

Thank you very much indeed. Now, Thomas, lovely to have you here.

The star of This Is England, This Is England '86, This Is England '88...

I know, it's getting boring.

How many more do you think there might be?

Well, we're just making the last one now.

This is England '90, but Shane Meadows is very...

He's constantly changing his mind about what he wants to do,

because ideas are changing. But I'm sure he'll... I'm sure it will...

So, how far are you through?

We're planning on it being four episodes

and we've done three of them now so we've just got the last one to do.

Now, Thomas, you can talk us through the whole board if you fancy it.

I'm going to go for Park Is My Radar, for Blur.

Park Is My Radar.

Blue And Green Park Is My Radar.

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

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

-Oh, bad luck, Thomas.

-See you later, then. Cheers!

I'm afraid an incorrect answer there.

I'm afraid that scores you 100 points, Thomas. Richard.

Yes, sorry, Thomas, a tough one to go for, actually.

It's a pointless answer, that one.

-Music Is My Radar.

-Park Life!

-Music Is My Radar.

-Well, you would say that, wouldn't you?

Blue And Green Music, Music Is My Radar.

Pointless answer, well done if you said that. Beer...?

-Street.

-Beer Street and Street Fighting Man.

Would have scored you 18.

CONTESTANTS MURMUR

The son of...?

-Man.

-The Son Of Man, Man In The Mirror.

Would have scored you 62.

Big scorer, there.

And The...?

-Kiss.

-The Kiss.

The Kiss and The Kiss Of Life by The Friendly Fires.

And that would have scored you 5.

So, Music Is My Radar, best answer on that board.

-Well done if you got that.

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

so let's take a look at those scores as they stand.

Clare, well done, you. 12, the lowest score of the pass.

Beautiful.

Then up to 42 where we find Phil Cornwell and Sally.

Then up to 75 where we find Leslie and Phil Daniels.

And then up to 100 where we find Thomas and Vas.

Listen, Thomas, the game's not over yet.

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

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

OK, let's put seven more pairs of titles up on the board.

And here they come. We've got...

I'll read those all one last time.

Remember, we're looking for the word that

is shared by both of these titles.

Vas, welcome. Welcome to Pointless.

-Great to have you here.

-Yeah, thank you very much.

Lock, Stock, as you mentioned, that was...

That's a massive British film.

Before that, obviously, you had your thing with Lenny Henry, as well.

Yes, Lenny Henry and I, we did Delbert Wilkins.

Brixton Broadcasting Corporation, I played Winston, his sidekick.

Dulcet tones... In actual fact,

that's why Guy casted me in Lock, Stock because he used to rush

home from college, he said, to absorb Winston's dulcet tones.

LAUGHTER

That's the truth.

Well, it's lovely to have your dulcet tones on the show.

Listen, you're the high-scorers on 100.

We need a low score from you and there, look, we have obliged.

We've given you a board of nice, low-scoring,

quite tricky, challenges.

I'm going to be clever. Try and be clever.

Bon Jovi, I want to say,

-shotgun.

-OK.

My Shotgun.

The Tracey Emin.

OK, no red line for you as you are the high-scorers but let's see

if that's right and let's see how many of our 100 people said shotgun.

LAUGHTER

-GROANING

-Vas...

-No, it was gun, it was gun.

-I'm really sorry to say...

Shotgun Of Roses is a great name for a song.

LAUGHTER

There we go. Well, 200 is your total, Vas.

-Sally, welcome back.

-Hello.

-Now, when you

were doing The Railway Children,

-you had to pretend that you were 11.

-I know.

-And how old were you?

-20.

LAUGHTER

But.. You... Did you...?

You weren't allowed to tell the crew or anything, is that right?

No, nobody was allowed to know.

I didn't realise, I mean, I just thought it was just another kids' film.

And then I thought, "Well, they're being a bit strict here,"

because I couldn't drive my car, which was my biggest heartache,

because I just bought a new one, and I couldn't go out with my boyfriend.

Couldn't go into a pub. I couldn't do anything.

And I wasn't allowed to say it or refer to anything

that would make me older than that for ever.

And it was in my contract, too.

Well, listen, Sally, I've got great news.

You are through to the next round. What are you going to go for?

Well, I was thinking of Geri Halliwell, shout.

The Shout and Shout If You Want To Go Faster.

OK, Shout If You Want To Go Faster, says Sally.

Let's see if that's right, no red line for you

cos you're already through. Let's see how many people said shout.

-No.

-No?!

-I'm afraid, another incorrect answer.

Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 142.

You're through anyway. It doesn't matter.

Yeah, sorry, Sally, not shout, I'm afraid.

We'll find out all the answers at the end of the round.

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

Phil, welcome back.

Lovely to have you here again.

Were you a mod before Quadrophenia?

No, I wasn't. I was a mocker.

LAUGHTER

Better than being a rod, I guess.

Yeah, Quadrophenia.

Were you saying earlier that you hadn't seen Leslie since then?

No, we haven't seen each other for 35 years.

-We were lovers in that film.

-Yeah. And that was it.

And this is your reunion now.

OK, Phil, good news for you also, you are through to the next round.

-What are you going to go for?

-Scream.

-The one that Sally...

-Yeah, got wrong.

-..went for. OK.

Not shout, scream. We're going to turn it up a notch.

Scream, no red line for you, you're already through.

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

It is, of course, scream.

-53.

-APPLAUSE

Your score takes your total up to 128.

Yeah, very well played. The Scream, Edvard Munch, worth 120 million.

Thanks very much indeed. Now, Keith.

Now, you've been part of so many film canons.

-Let's think, you were in a Carry On film.

-Oh, God, yeah.

You were, had you forgot about that?

I spent most of the film, myself

and Danny Peacock, I think...

If you ever watch it, at the end of all lines, you'll see me

and Danny Peacock trying to get out of the picture.

LAUGHTER

-But you're in it.

-Yes.

You're in that, you were in Comic Strip films, of course.

A lot of those.

You were in the Danny Boyle, you know,

-the early canon of Danny Boyle. Trainspotting...

-Shallow Grave.

-Then you made that lovely programme with Keith Floyd.

-I did.

You were probably the last person to work with him, I suppose.

-Yeah, I was, yeah.

-How was that?

-It was great.

He was great fun.

You're the last person to have this board.

You're through, as well. Do you want to talk us through...

-I imagine you'll know quite a few of these.

-Yeah, I know the Frida Kahlo,

-I know the Van Gogh.

-You can fill in all those answers if you want,

just say which one you want to submit.

-No, no. I'll just go for the one that I want to.

-OK.

LAUGHTER

And it's Self-portrait With Judy.

Self-portrait With Judy.

Judy Wrench.

I just wanted to get that in as a gag!

-Self-portrait With Judy.

-No, it's monkey, obviously.

-You should have gone for Dame Judy.

-It's monkey.

It is, indeed. Er, how do we know?

Self-portrait With Monkey, says Keith.

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

No red line because you're already through.

It is right.

-Oh, it's a lovely low score.

-APPLAUSE

30, very well done indeed. Takes your total up to 42.

The only two-figure total of the round.

Well played, Keith, very good answer.

Let's take a look at the rest of them. It is The Last...?

Do you know that one?

Last Judgment. Judgment Day.

Would have scored you 4. The Starry...?

-Night.

-The Starry Night, Night Fever.

Would have scored you 73. Do you know this one?

The Night...?

Watch. And Watch The Sun Come Up. Rembrandt and Example.

The next one's girl.

Another Fulham fan, Example. Also me and Keith. 12 points for that.

-Drowning...?

-Girl.

-Girl.

-Girl.

-Girl.

Why didn't you say that, Vas?

-What?!

-Because that's just how I roll.

LAUGHTER

That's how I roll.

-13 points for that. And Thomas?

-Bed.

Bed is exactly right.

My Bed, Tracey Emin and Bed Of Roses, Bon Jovi.

51 points for that. So, the best answer on the board is judgment.

-Very well done if you said that.

-Thanks very much indeed.

At the end of our first round, the pair who are heading home

with their high score of 200,

I'm sorry, it's Vas and Thomas.

APPLAUSE

Well, listen, it's been lovely having you on the show.

Thomas, you can come back.

No, I'm not going, I'm staying!

-You can stay, if you like.

-You can't make me.

-I

-can't, no.

-Let's go!

-Vas and Thomas, great contestants.

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

So, now we're down to three pairs and at the end of this round

we'll say goodbye to another pair.

Our category for Round Two this evening is...

It's Board Games. Can you all decide in your pairs

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

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

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

We gave 100 people 100 seconds

to name as many...

Places on the Monopoly board that come alphabetically after Mayfair.

-Richard.

-Yeah, we're looking for the name of any square on the classic

London Monopoly board, please,

that comes after Mayfair alphabetically.

-Very, very best of luck.

-Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, Keith?

-Yeah...

-Always tough on that first podium.

Vine Street.

HE STUTTERS

That's the one I'd have gone for. Vine Street, says Keith.

I think that's an excellent answer.

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

It's right.

10.

APPLAUSE

Very well done indeed.

10 for Vine Street.

Another terrific answer, Keith. Well done.

That podium is going to be very tough to beat.

Used to be famous for its police station,

the busiest police station in the world,

Vine Street police station.

-In the WORLD?

-In the WORLD.

-Yeah.

-Wow. Thank you very much indeed.

OK, now, Leslie.

Northumberland Avenue.

Northumberland Avenue is a lovely answer.

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

Well, we've only got 10 so far for Vine Street.

Ooh, it's better!

5!

Leslie, superb.

5 for Northumberland Avenue.

Great answer, Leslie, very well played.

That was going to be my answer, Northumberland Avenue.

-It's a better answer than mine, yeah.

-It is five better than yours.

It's twice as good as yours.

It runs up from the Thames embankment, Northumberland Avenue.

-Thanks very much, indeed, Richard. Phil?

-Yes, sir?

Phil, now. Yes, what are you going to go for?

-Pentonville Road.

-Pentonville Road.

Pentonville Road. Let's see if that's right.

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

It's right, obviously.

10 our highest score,

5 our lowest at this point.

Pentonville takes us...

down to 13!

-APPLAUSE

-It's a new high.

Very good.

13 for Pentonville.

Well played, Phil. Three very good answers there.

Three very low scores. Yeah, Pentonville.

Pentonville prison's not on Pentonville Road.

No, I've often wondered why.

Maybe just to confuse, I don't know, runaway prisoners.

LAUGHTER

Thank you. Well, we're halfway through the round.

Let's take a look at those scores as they stand.

5, Leslie, hats off to you.

Best score of the pass there.

Very strong indeed. Then up to 10.

Hats off to you, indeed, also, Keith.

Vine Street, beautiful answer.

Then up to 13, Phil.

Nothing wrong with that.

Sally, through no fault of your own,

you find yourself out in front,

so we just need a low score.

-OK.

-We just need a low score.

That's all we need, then we'll see you in the head-to-head.

We're going to come back down the line.

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

OK. So, remember, it's any square on the Monopoly board, Sally,

that comes alphabetically after Mayfair.

I'm going to say...

..erm, Old Street.

Old Street, says Sally.

Old Street.

OK.

There's no red line as you're the highest scorers.

Let's see how far down the column you can get with Old Street.

-Oh!

-No!

-I thought it was on the board.

-I did.

I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, Sally. I'm so sorry.

-That's terrible.

-It is the curse of the far podium.

-Yeah.

It did for Vas and Thomas in the first round,

-now it's doing for you.

-Oh, heavens.

-113 is your total, I'm afraid.

-It's interesting,

as soon as you said Old Street, genuinely, everyone else

nodding away, I was nodding away at Old Street.

I was thinking, hang on, what colour's Old Street?

-Yeah, it's not there.

-Thanks very much, indeed, Richard.

So, Phil.

Old Kent Road.

There you go, Old Kent Road.

You're already through to the next round.

No red line for you.

But let's see how far down the column you can get

with Old Kent Road.

It's right.

48.

-APPLAUSE

-Popular choice, but there you are.

It takes your total up to 53.

-Through you go anyway.

-Well played, Phil.

Did exactly what you had to. In the original Monopoly,

it's the cheapest square on the board.

But they recalculated the property prices.

It would now be the 10th cheapest on the board.

It's overtaken nine other squares.

-Good for Old Kent Road.

-Yeah.

Thanks very much, indeed.

-Now, Clare.

-Yes.

Clare, can we keep up this fantastic low-scoring, I wonder,

-on that first podium?

-I doubt it.

-Listen, you're on 10, you're through.

-Do the utilities count?

-Can I ask that question?

-Any square counts.

-Any square.

Any square.

-That's what you're going to go for, utilities?

-Yeah.

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

Let's see how far down in the column Clare can get with utilities.

-SHE GASPS

-Oh!

It scores you 100 points.

Takes your total up to 110.

But you're through comfortably anyway.

Sorry, Clare, I thought it was right next to Old Street, is it not?

Utilities, on the board? It's not there,

but there are individual utilities like Water Works,

would have scored you 16 points, which would have been a good answer.

-Oh, yeah.

-Now, there's a pointless answer up there.

There's a pointless answer on the board after Mayfair.

-What do you think it is?

-Super Tax.

Is the right answer, a pointless answer.

APPLAUSE Very well done.

I literally thought of it while we were discussing utilities.

I'll take you through some of the other low scorers.

Whitehall would have scored you 4. It would have been a terrific answer.

Here's a good one for 5 points,

The Angel Islington,

because it starts with a T...

-Oh.

-..for "The". I know, right?

Then Whitechapel Road would have scored 16,

Water Works 16, Strand 16.

You would have got 19 for Oxford Street, 20 for Regent Street,

25 for Piccadilly,

26 for Trafalgar Square and Pall Mall,

29 for Park Lane, and Old Kent Road was the highest scorer of all.

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 their high score of 113,

-it's Sally and Phil.

-Hey!

-Oh, I'm sorry.

-We done good.

Well, you done good. You have done good.

Old Street let you down badly

with its absence from the board.

It should be on there, really.

Do not collect £200.

-LAUGHTER

-I'm afraid, no.

Oh, I'm sorry, you won't be collecting £200.

-But come back.

-He's here all week!

Come back. Come back and play again.

Phil, you need your second trophy

and, Sally, it would just be such a treat to see you again.

Thanks so much, Sally and Phil. Lovely contestants.

-APPLAUSE

-Thank you.

But for Phil and Leslie, Clare and Keith,

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

So, congratulations, Clare and Keith, Phil and Leslie.

You're now one step closer to the final

and a chance to play for our jackpot for your charities.

Our jackpot currently stands at £2,500.

APPLAUSE

Right here is where we have to decide who goes through

to the final and plays for that jackpot.

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

The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

Best of luck to both pairs. That's play the head-to-head.

APPLAUSE

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

The Royal family. Richard.

LAUGHTER

Looks like we've got a lot of royal lovers

in our head-to-head there(!)

Which royal family?

We're going to show you five pictures

of members of the Royal family.

We need you to tell us the decade in which each was born, please.

What's the most obscure answer of the five you're about to see?

Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five pictures

and here they come. We have got...

OK, there we are.

Five members of the Royal family.

Clare and Keith, you've played best throughout the show so far,

so you will go first.

-OK.

-OK, we'll go for C...

-Yeah.

-And it's the '50s.

C, the '50s. C, the '50s.

Now, Phil and Leslie, the board's all yours.

Talk us through it.

A, what's he? About 25 or something? So what would that make him,

in the 1990s?

I don't know who B is.

-He's George.

-Oh, is he?

-LAUGHTER

-God, everyone knows that!

-Do they?

-Yeah.

Is that Michael of Kent?

He's got to be 1930s or 1940s,

-hasn't he?

-1930s, I'd say.

-OK.

Is that going to be your answer?

Yeah, D, 1930s.

D, 1930s. So, we have the 1950s and the 1930s.

Clare and Keith said the 1950s for C. Let's see if that's right,

and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said the 1950s.

It's right.

48.

APPLAUSE

48. Phil and Leslie, meanwhile, have said the 1930s for D.

Let's see if that's right,

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

-It's right.

-Ooh!

And it wins you the point.

Very well done.

-APPLAUSE

-It takes you down to 33.

Which means, Phil and Leslie,

after one question, you are up 1-0.

Well played, Phil and Leslie. That's the Duke of Kent

-and he was born in 1935.

-The Duke of Kent.

Let's take a look at the rest of these. Prince Harry was born...

You underestimated his age, 1984 he was born.

-So the

-'80s. Yeah.

That would have scored you 70 points.

B is, of course, Prince George.

Oh, look at that face!

He was born in the 2010s.

That would have scored you 74.

And E,

that is Charles Armstrong Jones,

the son of Viscount Linley,

and I think just by people working out how old he was,

he was born in 1999. That would have scored you 18 points.

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

So, here comes your second question.

Now, Phil and Leslie, you get to answer it first.

But Clare and Keith, you have to win this to stay in the game.

So, very best of luck. It concerns...

Film Music. Richard.

I'm just going to play you five excerpts now of music

that's featured in various films.

You just need to tell us the name of the film, please,

-or the film franchise. Very best of luck.

-Excellent.

So, let's listen to our five music excerpts, and here they come.

We've got, A...

MUSIC PLAYS

B.

MUSIC PLAYS

MUSIC DROWNS SPEECH

C.

MUSIC PLAYS

D.

MUSIC PLAYS

MUSIC DROWNS SPEECH

And E.

MUSIC PLAYS

There we are. Five excerpts of music from films.

-Da-da dum, ssss!

-Phil and Leslie?

-We're going to go for C.

-Yes.

-Yeah, it's The Godfather?

-The Godfather.

C, the Godfather. OK.

Now, then, Clare and Keith, what do you want to go for?

-I think we're... I mean, we're going to go out.

-So...

-Because we...

-Which tune would you like to go out to?

-LAUGHTER

-Rocky. The winning!

-We have to go out to E.

-Yeah, to E.

-OK, you're going to go out to E.

-Yes.

-Yeah.

-OK, and that is?

-Rocky.

-Rocky.

-We don't know if ours is right.

OK, so we have The Godfather and we have Rocky.

Phil and Leslie have gone for The Godfather,

which was C, they think.

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

-Please!

It's right.

Going down.

38.

APPLAUSE

-PHIL LAUGHS

-It's going to be close, Keith.

-38 for The Godfather.

-I don't believe that!

Clare and Keith, meanwhile, have said that E was Rocky.

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

It's right.

-Has to beat 38 to keep you in the game...

-Ohhh!

-I'm afraid you're at 50.

-APPLAUSE

-Oh, Rocky.

-Very well done, though.

Phil and Leslie, after only two questions,

you're straight through to the final, 2-nil.

Yeah, those are the two biggest scorers on the board, actually. All of the other answers

would have won you the point. I think you knew...

Let's have a little listen to A. MUSIC PLAYS

-I think everyone recognises it.

-I know the tune.

-Recognise the tune.

Beverly Hills Cop. And would have scored you 34 points.

-Wouldn't have got that.

-34 points. Now, B, let's have a little listen.

MUSIC PLAYS

It's actually the best answer on the board, and it's Enter The Dragon.

-Oh!

-5 points.

-There was a Chinese bit in it, yeah.

-Very well done if you said that.

-I would never have known that.

-And D, let's take a little listen,

would have won you the point if you'd got it right.

-MUSIC PLAYS

-Star Trek?

-No, Star Wars.

-Back To The Future.

-Oh!

-LAUGHTER

Back To The Future. And that would have scored you 15 points.

-Well done if you said that at home.

-There we go.

Well, thank you very much indeed, Richard.

So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm so sorry, Clare and Keith.

Do you know, actually, I went to a wedding where the bride and groom

actually did leave to that Rocky music. But it was brilliant,

-because it starts off like the Mendelssohn Wedding March...

-HE HUMS

..and then goes into Rocky. That was great. Oh how we laughed.

LAUGHTER

Anyway, Clare and Keith, it's been lovely having you on.

Just come back and win. Thanks very much, though.

Clare and Keith, wonderful contestants.

-APPLAUSE

-Thank you.

-Thank you, and congratulations.

But for Phil and Leslie, it's now time for our Pointless final.

Congratulations, Phil and Leslie. You've seen off all the competition

and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot

for your charities, and at the end of today's show,

the jackpot stands at £2,500.

-There it is.

-APPLAUSE

You've done so well. As always, you get to choose your category

from the four we put up on the board.

Here are those four. We have...

-Between us we should know something about Shakespeare.

-All right.

-We'll have a go at Shakespeare.

-You're going to go Shakespeare.

-Richard?

-Good, two actors going for Shakespeare. Quite right too.

We've got three different questions for you here. We are looking for...

the first names of any of Shakespeare's family -

that's his parents, his siblings or his children.

We are looking for any character with a name

from the cast list of Othello.

Or we are looking for any Shakespeare play from his first folio

that contains the letter S anywhere in its title, please.

So any of Shakespeare's family -

that's his parents, his siblings, his children -

any character from Othello, or any of Shakespeare's plays

in the first folio with the letter S.

Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, as always,

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

All you need to win that jackpot for your charities is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

-Are you ready?

-No.

-Erm, yes.

-Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.

There they are. Your time starts now.

-Plays with the S in it.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Yeah, it doesn't have to start with S.

-Oh.

-So there's Titus Andronicus...

-OK.

The Merry Wives Of Windsor...

-Midsummer Night's Dream.

-Midsummer Night's Dream.

-The odd plays.

-Tempest.

Let's do another one, cos we've got them.

OK. Character from Othello -

I think there's someone called Roderigo in Othello.

-I know there's Iago and all that.

-Is there?

-Yeah.

Shakespeare's family, does that...

-Anne Hathaway, you said.

-Anne Hathaway, but I'm not sure

if that's just... Was he married to Anne Hathaway?

He's got to call someone William, hasn't he?

After himself. Is that right?

I don't know, don't look at me!

Ten seconds left, go on.

-Quick!

-All right.

-We'll go for, then, Titus Andronicus.

-Yeah.

-Roderigo.

-Yeah.

-And...

That's your time up. OK, what are your three answers going to be?

Sorry, I'm just interrupting you while you were saying,

but, yeah, give me your three answers.

-Roderigo.

-Roderigo, in which category?

Character from Othello.

-Character from Othello.

-Titus Andronicus as a play.

-Titus Andronicus, play with an S in it.

-And...

-A Winter's tale.

-A Winter's Tale, there we go.

-Look at that.

-Festive.

-So of those three,

which do you like the best as a pointless answer?

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

-Winter's Tale?

-Winter's Tale.

-Winter's Tale we'll put last.

-Least likely to be pointless?

-Roderigo. I think it might...

-It could be wrong.

-Roderigo from Othello.

-And then Titus Andronicus in the middle?

-Yeah.

OK, well lets put those up on the board in that order, then.

And here they are. We've got...

Roderigo, Titus Andronicus,

and The Winter's Tale.

Well, very, very best of luck.

Now, let's suppose one of those answers is pointless -

every reason to suppose it might be -

what would you be giving your money to?

Which charity are you playing for, Phil?

The Pancreatic Cancer Research.

I lost my lady to pancreatic cancer, so...

-it would be good.

-Very good.

-Leslie?

-Cancer Research.

Excellent. Let's hope.

APPLAUSE

Let's hope one of these answers at least will win that jackpot

for those charities. Very well done. So, Roderigo, your first answer.

In this case, we were looking for characters from Othello.

You thought this was probably your least likely to be pointless,

but let's find out. Roderigo sounds perfectly good to me.

Let's just see, though - if nobody has said it, it will win you £2,500.

How many people said Roderigo?

-It's right.

-Oh, my goodness!

-Roderigo is right.

Now, if this goes all the way down to 0,

you will leave here with £2,500 for your charities.

Down it goes, single figures, still going down.

-Down it goes...

-1! Argh!

APPLAUSE

-Oh, Phil.

-1 for Roderigo. That's a fabulous first answer.

Unfortunately, not a pointless answer.

Two more shots at today's jackpot.

Your second answer was Titus Andronicus, and in this case,

we were looking for Shakespeare plays

containing the letter S in the title.

For £2,500, let's see how many people named Titus Andronicus.

Well, it's also correct. Roderigo took us all the way down to 1.

Titus Andronicus, now taking us through the 30s and the 20s,

into the teens, into single figures,

down it goes, still going down...

3.

-APPLAUSE

-That's good. That's really good.

OK, fair enough.

We started off with a 1, just to get it all exciting,

then up to 3 again. Fair enough. It was filling a place.

We're now back in, I think, pointless territory here, with the Winter's Tale.

If this goes all the way down to 0,

you leave here with that jackpot for your charities. For £2,500,

How many people said the Winter's Tale? Is it pointless?

It's right. We kind of knew that.

Roderigo took us down to 1,

Titus Andronicus took us down to 3.

The Winter's Tale, into single figures, down it goes,

still going down, passes 3...

-AUDIENCE GROANS

-Oh, no! 2.

APPLAUSE

-Well done.

-Really?

Three very good answers there.

Lovely low scores there. Roderigo.

-That deserved to go all the way down, surely.

-Yeah.

But I'm afraid, I'm very sorry to say,

you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.

So I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500.

However, as today is a celebrity special,

all our celebrities were playing for a nominated charity.

We're going to donate 500 quid to each pair

-to give to their respective charities.

-Thank you.

-APPLAUSE

-And you've done so well.

Really strong performance across the show, and we've loved having you on.

And you get to take home a Pointless trophy each,

so very, very well done.

-APPLAUSE

-Very well done.

-Yeah.

Wow. I mean, no, absolutely brilliant jackpot round.

You know, you covered yourself in glory there. So sorry you didn't get the pointless answer.

There are a couple of pointless Shakespeare plays -

there are only two on that pointless list.

Do you want to have a little go at one of those?

-Taming Of The Shrew?

-Taming Of The Shrew

-would have scored you ten points.

-Oh, what about that?

-It's actually the third biggest answer.

-Useless.

-Coriolanus?

Coriolanus would have scored you 2.

Measure For Measure, what about that?

Measure For Measure is a pointless answer.

-AUDIENCE:

-Oooh!

-Get in there!

APPLAUSE Very good.

And the other pointless answer in that category was Timon Of Athens.

Timon Of Athens. Very well done if you got any of those at home.

Let's take a look at Shakespeare's family. Gilbert was his brother.

Joan, Judith, and Margaret, who was his sister.

Edmund, also a pointless answer. Well done if you said any of those.

We'll take a look at characters from Othello. Roderigo - great answer,

cos there are only two pointless answers, and those were Gratiano...

-Lodovico!

-..and Lodovico.

Very well done if you said any of those at home.

Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Well, unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Phil and Leslie,

but we've loved having you on the show. Thank you so much for being such brilliant contestants.

-Phil and Leslie!

-APPLAUSE

-Well done.

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

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

-Goodbye.

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

APPLAUSE
