0:02:01 > 0:02:03APPLAUSE
0:02:05 > 0:02:08These are today's contestants - thank you all very much indeed,
0:02:08 > 0:02:09we'll find out more about each of you
0:02:09 > 0:02:11throughout the show, as it goes along.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce -
0:02:14 > 0:02:17he's ultra competitive. You should see him playing Hungry Hippos.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- APPLAUSE - Evening, everybody. Evening.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- Good evening to you. - And to you, sir.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- How are you? - I'm really well, thank you.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Now, one of these pairs is a proper superstar pair at Pointless,
0:02:31 > 0:02:33and that's Ricky and Cheryl on podium two, there.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36They've been to a final, they've got Pointless trophies already -
0:02:36 > 0:02:38they're almost unstoppable.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Whereas the likes of Ewen - Ewen's been on before -
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Round One, wasn't it, Ewen?
0:02:42 > 0:02:43Yeah.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45But I think you've traded up your partner -
0:02:45 > 0:02:48you were with Simon Greenall, weren't you, last time?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Yeah, this guy's got a big old brain on him.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Yeah, well, this guy, he went to school with Kyran Bracken.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- KYRAN:- He hasn't, he definitely hasn't.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55- LAUGHTER - Seriously.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Don't say that just yet, cos we might go out first.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- Yes, that's true. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Now, as usual, all of today's questions have been put
0:03:01 > 0:03:03to 100 people before the show.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Our contestants here are looking for
0:03:04 > 0:03:06those all-important pointless answers
0:03:06 > 0:03:07that none of our 100 people gave.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Now, as today's show is a celebrity special,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15and each of our celebrities here is playing for a nominated charity,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18we start off with a jackpot of £2,500 - there it is.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Now, remember, the pair with the highest score
0:03:31 > 0:03:33at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36All you have to do is make sure you are not in that pair.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Basically, score as low as you possibly can.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Now, please remember, for the first two rounds,
0:03:40 > 0:03:41there is to be no conferring at all.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44You're on your own. Remember that. Best of luck.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Our first category this evening is...
0:03:48 > 0:03:50CHERYL SIGHS
0:03:50 > 0:03:52British Television. Heavy sigh from Cheryl there.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Can you all decide in your pairs who'll go first, who'll go second?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05OK, and the question concerns...
0:04:10 > 0:04:122014 TV Judges and Presenters.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Richard.- Yeah, Xander's about to show you a list
0:04:15 > 0:04:18of four very popular TV shows, and we're looking for anybody
0:04:18 > 0:04:21who is a regular presenter or judge on any of these four shows.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25So, anyone who's a regular presenter or judge on any of these four shows,
0:04:25 > 0:04:29plus any of the TV spin-offs of these shows - but in 2014.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30OK, so, as Richard's just said,
0:04:30 > 0:04:32we're going to put these four shows up,
0:04:32 > 0:04:35and they'll stay on the board the whole way through the round -
0:04:35 > 0:04:37we won't be changing halfway. Here are those four shows.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39They are...
0:04:49 > 0:04:53We want judges or presenters from any of these four shows in 2014.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Now, Ben, welcome to Pointless.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59We just had your uncle George on, not that long ago.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- That's right, yeah.- Yeah.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03He told me he made it round to the second round,
0:05:03 > 0:05:06and he's already primed me - if I don't get any better,
0:05:06 > 0:05:11then I'm obviously going to get stick, so make these questions easy!
0:05:11 > 0:05:16Yeah - as easy as this, for example. Nice easy one to get you in, there.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17But Ben, for a lot of people,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20I would say that one of the great highlights of the noughties
0:05:20 > 0:05:22was that World Cup-winning match.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27Just fantastic. Do you still have dreams about that?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night thinking, "Wey!"
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Er, not 11 years after, no.- Really?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36But do you know what? It was a fantastic era, and a fantastic time,
0:05:36 > 0:05:38especially in English rugby.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40And, of course, you know, you talked about my uncle -
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- it was a fantastic family double.- Yeah.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46We shared that moment, and it was a special thing for the family -
0:05:46 > 0:05:49but, yeah, it was a fantastic time and a fantastic era,
0:05:49 > 0:05:51and it was indescribable in many ways.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Fabulous.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56OK, now, judges and presenters on TV shows of 2014, Ben.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58How are you feeling about that?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00I should...be...OK.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Let's just play it by ear.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03- Let's just...- OK.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Why are you looking at me like that?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Cos I'm kind of wanting you to give an answer, that's the...
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- LAUGHTER - Choose one.- Yeah.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16I'm going to go with... I want to go with Strictly.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Strictly Come Dancing.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Yes. LAUGHTER
0:06:20 > 0:06:22What have I got to do?
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Er...
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Anyone who's been a judge... How was I going to score that?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29LAUGHTER
0:06:29 > 0:06:31"Strictly Come Dancing." Well, let's see.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34All right, Darcey Brussels.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37LAUGHS: OK.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39OK. HE LAUGHS
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I'm really sorry. Darcey...
0:06:42 > 0:06:45We're going to go for Darcey Bruss... HE LAUGHS
0:06:45 > 0:06:46It's just...
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- That's it, innit?- No. - Darcey Brussels.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52I want to go home!
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I'm going to... I'm going to change.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Oh, Ben, I'm sorry, no, I have to take that answer.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58- Just take it.- I'm really sorry...
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Listen, it might not be the worst answer... Well, I dunno.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02LAUGHTER
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- I don't know...- It might not be the worst answer of the round.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07But Darcey Brussels...
0:07:07 > 0:07:09LAUGHTER Darcey Brussels...
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Let's... Let's see if that's right, shall we?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Darcey Brussels.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16LAUGHTER
0:07:19 > 0:07:20- AUDIENCE:- Aw!
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Ben, I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry...
0:07:22 > 0:07:26I want to get out first - now.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- 100 points. - Yeah - Darcey Brussels, though.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32That's a cartoon character...
0:07:32 > 0:07:33I tell you what, though, Ben,
0:07:33 > 0:07:35your uncle, George, he's watching going,
0:07:35 > 0:07:37"You know what? We may well be World Cup winners,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40"but at least I didn't go on Pointless and say, 'Darcey Brussels'."
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- It's a good name, though. - It's a great... It's very Christmassy, isn't it?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45He did Strictly Come Dancing!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- Yeah...- You did the show!
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Kyran, leave me alone.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Thanks very much indeed, Richard. - I'm really flustered now.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52I want to get out of here.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Cheryl, welcome back to Pointless.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Oh, thank you, Xander. - A finalist last time, Cheryl.- Yes.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- You've got a trophy already. - I need another one -
0:08:01 > 0:08:02I need another one, Xander,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05because my books are slipping off the shelf.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08So, I need the other one to go at the other end.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09- That is exactly what you need!- Please.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12I'll tell you what else I know about you, Cheryl...
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- I know lots about you, too, Xander. - You've got a lovely voice.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- You've got a lovely voice, too. - Your Dusty Springfield - oh!
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I won £10,000 for my charity on that show with you, Xander...
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Very nice to see you in trousers,
0:08:23 > 0:08:24because the last time I saw Xander,
0:08:24 > 0:08:27he was wearing a dress, he was dressed as SuBo.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28She came round to my house, and, er...
0:08:28 > 0:08:30LAUGHTER
0:08:30 > 0:08:33No, he was SuBo. We did a singing competition.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- That was a lot of fun. A lot of fun. - Lots of fun. You were amazing.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- Now, Cheryl...- Yes, Xander.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42I'm going to cut short the story about how amazing I am,
0:08:42 > 0:08:43just to get on with... LAUGHTER
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- Yes, please do! - Cos I want to hear it later -
0:08:45 > 0:08:47but what are you going to go for?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50I'm going to go for Theo Paphitis.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- Theo Paphitis.- Yes.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- Dragons' Den. - Theo Paphitis, says Cheryl.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57OK, now, let's see if that's right
0:08:57 > 0:09:00and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said Theo Paphitis?
0:09:02 > 0:09:04It's a good one, but it's a wrong one.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Why? He's on it!
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- 2014.- 2014.
0:09:08 > 0:09:092014.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- Oh, Ben...- 2014? What are we in now, 2014?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13All is not lost, Ben, it's fine, Darcey Brussels...
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- He's on it, ain't he on it?- No, he's not, no.- Not in 2014, I'm afraid.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- Richard.- So that's good news for Ben, though, that, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21He hasn't been in it for a while, Theo.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Has he not?- Certainly wasn't in it in 2014, I'm afraid. Sorry.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Oh... I thought that was good an' all!
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Interestingly...
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Interestingly... D'you know what shade Ricky's shirt is?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- It's...Darcey Brussels. - Darcey Brussels, yeah.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36LAUGHTER
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Yeah.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39- BEN:- Hold, Kyran, hold on.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Oh, no... - XANDER LAUGHS
0:09:42 > 0:09:43I'm ashamed of meself!
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- Patrick, welcome, lovely to have you here.- Thanks for having me.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50So, as we've established, you were at school with Kyran - same year.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51- Same year.- Same year!
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- And have you kept up?- No.- No.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55LAUGHTER
0:09:55 > 0:10:00Uh, Kyran was a very quiet, large, unpopular child at school.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03I didn't know what happened, he left and suddenly became a...
0:10:03 > 0:10:05you know, international rugby player.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07No, we were very good friends, actually, initially,
0:10:07 > 0:10:10and Kyran continued to do very well, and I sort of...
0:10:10 > 0:10:12ended up acting.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- Which you've done very well! - Well, it's been all right.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Listen, you're a serious and extremely successful actor,
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- Patrick, come on! - Thank you. Thank you.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21As evidenced by that very fine jacket you're wearing.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- Look at that, look at how he carries off that...- This wasn't cheap.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26No, as... ZOE LAUGHS
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Did Kyran have a nickname at school?
0:10:28 > 0:10:29Yes, he did.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31LAUGHTER
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- Come on...- You liar!
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Well, we called him King Kyran.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Yeah, no, any nicknames that he didn't insist on being called?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41No, he insisted on being called King Kyran.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46- Yeah!- I mean, that was it - he was pretty perfect, Kyran, yeah.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48They called him Darcey Brussels.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51LAUGHTER Now, Patrick.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52Yes.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53Judges, presenters -
0:10:53 > 0:10:56you couldn't do worse than the two answers we've had so far.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Well, I'm going to go safe...- Yeah. - ..cos I think I can afford to,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01and Claudia Winkleman, Strictly Come Dancing.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Claudia Winkleman says Patrick.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Let's see if that's right,
0:11:04 > 0:11:07and how many of our 100 people said Claudia Winkleman.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- It's right.- Come on, Claudia.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- 23, well done.- Nice!
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- APPLAUSE - Nice.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Very good indeed. Claudia Winkleman.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Well played, Patrick - finally, a correct answer.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Yeah, one of the presenters of the main Strictly shows,
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Saturday and Sunday nights.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Zoe.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- Zoe, welcome to Pointless. - Thank you very much.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35It's great to have you here.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Now, I have said so many times before it's probably becoming dull now,
0:11:38 > 0:11:44but Blue Peter, I think, is just the perfect academy for Pointless,
0:11:44 > 0:11:46because you just learn everything.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49How did that come about, Blue Peter? Did you audition for it?
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Did someone approach you?
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Well, actually, I was working as a solicitor at the time -
0:11:54 > 0:11:56I'd always had a bit of a keen interest
0:11:56 > 0:11:58in television and presenting,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00and I was flicking through the classifieds,
0:12:00 > 0:12:04looking for another solicitor's job, actually,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07and I came across a little ad that said, "TV presenter wanted",
0:12:07 > 0:12:10and so I made up a showreel in my bedroom,
0:12:10 > 0:12:11and I sent it off to the PO box,
0:12:11 > 0:12:13and a week later I got a phone call
0:12:13 > 0:12:15and they said, "Hello, it's Blue Peter,"
0:12:15 > 0:12:18so I was completely shocked and...
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- And then the months of auditions started.- Yeah.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23It was back and forth to London over a long period of time, so...
0:12:23 > 0:12:25It's like sort of X Factor, with all the people standing in...
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Yeah, well, it was - it was like an X Factor of the time, yeah.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Brilliant. Now, Zoe, you've had a little bit of time
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- to think about possible presenters and judges...- Yes, uh-huh.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37..from these shows. What do you think you're going to go for?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40OK, so, my thinking is that most people will be familiar
0:12:40 > 0:12:42with the main shows,
0:12:42 > 0:12:46so I'm thinking a lower point will come from the spin-offs.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50So, let's go with Strictly, to their spin-off -
0:12:50 > 0:12:53I'm going to go with another Zoe, Zoe Ball.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54Zoe Ball, says Zoe.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55Let's see if that's right,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58let's see how many of our 100 people said Zoe Ball.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01It's right.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Well, 23's our low score so far...
0:13:05 > 0:13:07You passed it! Look at that - down it goes to 15, well done.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- APPLAUSE - Well done!- Paid off, Zoe, well done.
0:13:10 > 0:13:1215 for Zoe Ball.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Great thinking, Zoe. Great answer, as well.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Yeah, of course, she hosts It Takes Two, the Strictly spin-off show.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Very good. Thanks. We're halfway through the round,
0:13:20 > 0:13:23so let's take a look at those scores as they stand.
0:13:23 > 0:13:2515, the lowest score of that pass - well done to you, Zoe.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Then up to 23, where we find Patrick and Ewen,
0:13:27 > 0:13:31and then up to 100, where we have Cheryl and Ricky, and Ben and Kyran.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34So, yes, Ricky and Kyran, you're going to jockey it out
0:13:34 > 0:13:36to see who stays with us and who leaves
0:13:36 > 0:13:37at the end of the round.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38So, best of luck with that.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40We'll come back down the line now.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- So, Dani...- Hello!
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Remember, we are looking for the name of any judge or presenter
0:13:50 > 0:13:53on any of these shows, or any of their main spin-offs.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54- Right.- Lovely to have you back, Dani.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Thank you very much for having me.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59I reckon you came on one of our very, very earliest celebrity shows.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- I did - it was a long, long time ago.- Yeah.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Long, long time - and you were then right in the thick of Tracy Beaker.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- I was.- That was just a phenomenon!
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- I know - we had no idea how big it was going to be.- Just huge.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13I know - well, when I first auditioned for it, I was only 12,
0:14:13 > 0:14:15and obviously I was a huge fan of Jacqueline Wilson,
0:14:15 > 0:14:17but we just knew that it was,
0:14:17 > 0:14:19like, 15-minute episodes at half three,
0:14:19 > 0:14:21so we thought, well, everyone's probably going to be at school,
0:14:21 > 0:14:25they'll probably miss it - and here I am, now, and I'm nearly 26!
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Just incredible. So, I mean, why did it finish?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- I suppose...- I got too old.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31- I suppose that was it!- Yeah.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33That was pretty much it.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35There was no way they could recast it?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Not really, no, cos I'd been playing it for such a long time.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- Yeah, yeah.- Yeah.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41- Oh, just fantastic.- Thank you.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Wonderful. And now you've got your own performing-arts academy!
0:14:45 > 0:14:46I do, yes. Yes, yeah.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48I've been wanting to do it for years
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- and I just wanted to give something a little bit back, so, yeah...- Sure.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54We've got one school, which has been open for just over a year
0:14:54 > 0:14:56and then we've got another one opening up very soon.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- Very exciting. - Congratulations to you.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59- Thank you.- Fantastic.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01I mean, that's a new Anna Scher there, isn't it?
0:15:01 > 0:15:02APPLAUSE
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Yeah. Well done, you.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06Well, listen, not only that,
0:15:06 > 0:15:08but well done for your low score as well,
0:15:08 > 0:15:09cos there you are on 15 -
0:15:09 > 0:15:11we've got two joint high-scorers here on 100.
0:15:11 > 0:15:1484 or less gets you comfortably into the next round.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- Right.- And I reckon you'll have some good answers today.- Mm...
0:15:17 > 0:15:19I think, I'm probably going to go for a spin-off,
0:15:19 > 0:15:22as well, like Zoe, and hopefully I pronounce it right...
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Dara O Briain.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- Dara O Briain. Dara O Briain... - Hopefully that's right.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29..says Dani. Here comes your red line.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31If you get below that - nice and high -
0:15:31 > 0:15:33if Dara gets you below that, you are through to Round Two.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Let's see how many people said Dara O Briain.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39It's right, and you're through - look at that.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40No surprises there.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43I think this might be a low score. Our lowest score so far was 15 -
0:15:43 > 0:15:45you've passed that comfortably. 11.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46- APPLAUSE - Yay!
0:15:46 > 0:15:48So, 26 is your total, Dani.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Well played, Dani - very solid on that last podium, there.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Yeah, he's the host of The Apprentice - You're Fired.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Excellent, thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59Now, Ewen.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00Welcome back to Pointless.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Thank you.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Round One last time... - Yeah, yeah.- I tell you what,
0:16:04 > 0:16:06I think you'll do twice as well as that, at least.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- I hope so. - Round Two beckons, I think.- Yeah.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- Now, of course, you were in The Office as well.- Yes.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13When you did that, what were your auditions like for that?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Did you sort of just improvise things?
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- I didn't actually audition, myself, personally.- Oh!
0:16:19 > 0:16:21I just turned up to be, like, supporting cast, really,
0:16:21 > 0:16:24and then they had some lines that they were just giving out
0:16:24 > 0:16:28to the supporting cast - it was the first thing I'd really done...
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- Yeah.- ..and they just liked what I was doing,
0:16:30 > 0:16:33so I sort of got given a character during the first series.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- So, you were so good, you moved... - I just blew 'em away, you know?
0:16:37 > 0:16:41I think it was my overacting and exuberance, just blew them away.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- A battlefield promotion, is what you call that, Ewen.- Yeah.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- That's just fantastic.- Yeah, well...
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Fantastic, well done - and what are you up to at the moment?
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Well, actually, recently I've just done a film with Luke Perry...
0:16:52 > 0:16:54from Beverly Hills 90210.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- Mm!- That guy, he's amazing -
0:16:57 > 0:16:59he looks exactly the same now
0:16:59 > 0:17:01as he did when he was playing Dylan -
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- and now he's 87. - How did that happen?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- I dunno!- Amazing.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08How are we feeling about this, as a category?
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Well, the answer I was going to give has gone.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12Darcey Brussels.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- LAUGHTER - So, er...
0:17:14 > 0:17:16No, it was Dara...
0:17:16 > 0:17:18So, um...
0:17:18 > 0:17:20I think I'm going to go fairly obvious,
0:17:20 > 0:17:23and I'm going to try Karren Brady.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Karren Brady. Karren Brady, Says Ewen.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Here comes your red line - again, quite nice and high.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29If Karren Brady can get you below that,
0:17:29 > 0:17:31you are comfortably into Round Two.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37There you are - Brady's done it.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- 23.- Nice work.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42APPLAUSE Equalled Patrick's score.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43- 23 each.- 23. - Takes your total up to 46 -
0:17:43 > 0:17:45very well done.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Well played, Ewen - safely through this time.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Yeah, she's Baroness Brady now.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51- So she is! - She's in the House of Lords.- Yeah.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54There you go.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- Thank you very much indeed, Richard.- Pleasure.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Thank you now.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Now, Ricky - right, OK.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02This is where it comes down to a sort of bare-knuckle round
0:18:02 > 0:18:03between you and Kyran.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Not necessarily literally,
0:18:05 > 0:18:06but we'll see.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Well, let's hope not!
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- Back you come...- Yes. - ..for another shot at that trophy.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Surely this time you can get the jackpot.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14- We've got to hope.- We're hoping.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Now, what was your exit from EastEnders?
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Cos obviously Heather Trott is no longer with us.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22No - I basically got the girl and sailed off into the sunset.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- Oh, so you could be back. - I could be back. Yeah.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27- If you got the call, would you be back?- I think I would.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30You know, I had such a great time - it was nine years for me,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33and it was kind of my apprenticeship to TV, in a way,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- and so, you know, I miss the people. - Yeah.- I miss the camaraderie.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38I don't miss the early hours and the late nights,
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- and the script learning... - I was going to say -
0:18:40 > 0:18:43hardly any time - and you only get two takes, don't you?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45It's not - we rehearse and record when we do it, more or less,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48and, you know, you've got to be on the ball, so to speak.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51And, yeah, I would, at the drop of a hat, I'd probably turn up and say,
0:18:51 > 0:18:52"Yes, I'd love to."
0:18:52 > 0:18:55The quality of acting - I mean, it's really incredibly high -
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I mean, particularly considering the turnaround,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- and how little time people have. - Yeah, the writing's fantastic,
0:19:01 > 0:19:04the quality of the acting, as well - you have off days sometimes,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06but most of the time you've got to be on the ball,
0:19:06 > 0:19:07like any profession.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09What are you going to go for?
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Um, what a hard category thing.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14One springs to mind.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16For some reason, I remember sitting down one afternoon
0:19:16 > 0:19:20and seeing Jo Brand on a spin-off from The Great British Bake Off,
0:19:20 > 0:19:23so I'm going to go Jo Brand, British Bake Off spin-off.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- Whatever that's called.- Jo Brand - that's all we needed to know.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28You are saying Jo Brand. Let's see if that's right
0:19:28 > 0:19:30and, if it is, how many people said it?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33There's no red line for you, cos you're joint high-scorers.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35It's right, obviously.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39More and more pressure on Kyran as that goes further and further down.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40Down it goes to 15. APPLAUSE
0:19:40 > 0:19:41Oh, well done!
0:19:41 > 0:19:43I love you...
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Joint second-lowest score of the round - 115.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Well played, Ricky - those spin-offs scoring nice and low.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Yeah, she presents The Great British Bake Off - An Extra Slice.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Kyran.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- Yes.- King Kyran.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- No...!- King Kyran.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02The king...!
0:20:02 > 0:20:05I've been deposed! I've been taken over...
0:20:05 > 0:20:08It's hard, because, I mean, what's left is quite obvious -
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Lord Sugar, Duncan Bannatyne, all of those...
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Yeah. No, no, let's not talk about that -
0:20:12 > 0:20:13I want to talk about King Kyran.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14No, it's not...
0:20:14 > 0:20:18- Do you know what?- At any stage, did anyone make you a crown?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21I mean, apart from the one you made yourself?
0:20:21 > 0:20:24No, listen - with Paddy, all the girls loved Paddy -
0:20:24 > 0:20:25and the boys, actually.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26All the girls loved Paddy at school -
0:20:26 > 0:20:28he was the best-looking bloke,
0:20:28 > 0:20:29he was the most popular,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32and he used to rip into me all of the time,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35cos I was playing England Schools and stuff, "Oh, look at you!"
0:20:35 > 0:20:37But actually, it's great to see him - do you remember that dance?
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Do you remember he did that dance in The Office?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43I watched that with such pride - and then you've got Ricky doing...
0:20:43 > 0:20:45HE MIMICS RICKY GERVAIS HUMMING
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Probably one of the best moments on TV.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- CHERYL:- Aw!
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- Aw!- But it looks like I'm losing whatever crown I had at school.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Because this is tough now.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57All the spin-off shows are gone.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Yeah, so, listen - you've got a mountain to climb, here.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02You've got to score 14 or less.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- Yeah.- Or - we can't say goodbye to you, we simply can't.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05Sprouts can't see you off.
0:21:05 > 0:21:12- God, I mean, all the people like... - Just get the name right, that's all.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13LAUGHTER
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Well, I was going to say Duncan Bannatyne, but I'm not now.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18I'm going to say... I think her name... I THINK her name is...
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- BEN LAUGHS - ..Kelly Hoppen, is she the...?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- Kelly Hoppen, says Kyran. - Yeah, Dragons' Den.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Kelly Hoppen - let's find out.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Come on, Brussels Sprouts... - Kelly Hoppen...
0:21:26 > 0:21:28If Kelly Hoppen gets you below that red line,
0:21:28 > 0:21:31you are through to Round Two - how many people said Kelly Hoppen?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- It's right.- Come on, come on!
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- Get down, go on! - It's going, it's going down!
0:21:37 > 0:21:38Ooh...
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- You've done it!- Yeah!
0:21:40 > 0:21:41APPLAUSE You've done it - 5!
0:21:41 > 0:21:425 for Kelly Hoppen -
0:21:42 > 0:21:44very well done indeed.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45105 is your total.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Sorry, guys.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Oh, well done!
0:21:50 > 0:21:51Wow!
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- I so wanted to go home, as well.- Cheers, mate.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56That's a terrific answer, King Kyran, very well played -
0:21:56 > 0:21:59all the best answers, actually, were from Dragons' Den -
0:21:59 > 0:22:00it was exactly the one to go for.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02It's one of the best three answers, actually -
0:22:02 > 0:22:04let's take a look at the other two.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07The best answer of all is the newest Dragons' Den - Piers Linney.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Evan Davis, who hosts it, would have scored you 3. Piers Linney 1.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12There's Kelly Hoppen with 5.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15A few other low scorers - Deborah Meaden would have scored you 12,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Deborah Meaden from Dragons' Den. A couple of low scorers -
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Mel Giedroyc from Great British Bake Off would have scored you 6 points.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Also would have got 6 points for Nick Hewer.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26You would have got 23 points, Ben,
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- for Darcey Bussell.- Thank you.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31- I don't know if you've heard of her. - LAUGHTER
0:22:31 > 0:22:34I'm going to ring her afterwards and apologise.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Let's take a look at the top three scorers - the ones that most people said.
0:22:39 > 0:22:4137 points for Paul Hollywood from Bake Off.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- Mary Berry thrashing Paul Hollywood. - Look at that - thrashing him!
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- 46.- What about that?- How about that?
0:22:48 > 0:22:52And right at the top, Lord Sugar on 62.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56So, at the end of our first round -
0:22:56 > 0:22:59what a nail-biting close to the round that was -
0:22:59 > 0:23:02but I'm afraid we have to send one pair home, and I'm so sorry to say,
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Ricky and Cheryl, you are that pair - high score of 115.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06I am so sorry.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07Oh!
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- Them's the breaks. Death or glory. - Well done, though,
0:23:10 > 0:23:12- that was excellent. - Oh, listen - all I can say is,
0:23:12 > 0:23:14you've got to come back. You have to come back.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- Thank you both so much for playing. Ricky and Cheryl.- Thank you.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19- Pleasure's all mine.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:23:22 > 0:23:25But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31So, three pairs remain - obviously, at the end of this round,
0:23:31 > 0:23:33we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Well, I have to say, hats off, far, far podium there.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37Lovely low scoring,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39just consistently brilliant, wonderful.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Ewen and Patrick, our Office boys, very good there.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44And then Kyran and Ben.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Well, well done for making it through.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Well done also for having the lowest individual score of the round,
0:23:49 > 0:23:51actually - Kelly Hoppen - superb.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52Anyway, best of luck to all three pairs.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Our category for Round Two this evening is...
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Literature.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04Can you all decide in your pairs who'll go first, who'll go second?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10OK, the question concerns...
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Books With Numbers In Their Title. Richard.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Yeah, on each board, we're going to show you the names of six books,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22all of which have a number in their title,
0:24:22 > 0:24:24but we're only going to give you the first letters
0:24:24 > 0:24:25of the words in that title.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27You just need to work out what these books are,
0:24:27 > 0:24:29and give us the most obscure.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30There's going to be six on each board,
0:24:30 > 0:24:32so, 12 in all to have a go at at home.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36OK, thanks very much - let's reveal our first board of six book titles
0:24:36 > 0:24:38with numbers in their title.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54I'll read those one last time.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Now, then, Kyran.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Um...
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Right, see, rugby players...
0:25:12 > 0:25:15trying to get numbers and letters and mixing 'em up,
0:25:15 > 0:25:16you really confuse us.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20But I'm going to go with something like... I'm guessing, The 39 Steps.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22The 39 Steps, says Kyran.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Let's see if that's right
0:25:23 > 0:25:26and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said The 39 Steps.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30It's right. Oh, dear!
0:25:30 > 0:25:32But that's good!
0:25:32 > 0:25:34APPLAUSE
0:25:34 > 0:25:37That's good - 89. 11 better than 100 - The 39 Steps.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Yeah, it is better than 100, absolutely.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Wrote it in a couple of weeks, John Buchan wrote The 39 Steps -
0:25:42 > 0:25:44he was ill in bed for a couple of weeks,
0:25:44 > 0:25:45and knocked it off.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- Not bad, is it?- Not bad at all.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49- An ulcer.- Not bad...
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- An ulcer?- Yeah. Not like one in his mouth...
0:25:51 > 0:25:53No, no, no, I was going to say,
0:25:53 > 0:25:55- a bit of Bonjela would've sorted that out.- Yeah.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Still, good. Very good.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- Now, Ewen.- Yes.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01What are you thinking?
0:26:01 > 0:26:04I'm going to go for the bottom one -
0:26:04 > 0:26:06I'm going to go Slaughterhouse-Five.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07Slaughterhouse-Five, says Ewen.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14It's right.
0:26:19 > 0:26:208!
0:26:20 > 0:26:22APPLAUSE
0:26:22 > 0:26:23That is a very good answer.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26All looking good for The Office, there, on the middle podium, Richard.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Well played, Ewen - terrific score. Another terrific book, as well,
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Slaughterhouse-Five.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Thanks very much indeed. Now then, Dani.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- You're the last person to have this board.- Yes.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37If you fancy just wandering through it
0:26:37 > 0:26:39and filling in the blanks for us...
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Um, this is so hard, and I think I only know one of them,
0:26:42 > 0:26:44but it might score quite high.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46So, I'm going to go with One Day.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48- One Day, the David Nicholls book - One Day.- Yes.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Let's see if that's right
0:26:50 > 0:26:54and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said One Day.
0:27:01 > 0:27:0315! APPLAUSE
0:27:03 > 0:27:05That is not a bad score by any stretch, Dani.
0:27:05 > 0:27:06Very well done indeed.
0:27:06 > 0:27:0815 for One Day.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09Well played, Dani -
0:27:09 > 0:27:12one of the biggest selling books of the 21st century, One Day,
0:27:12 > 0:27:13but very low scorer -
0:27:13 > 0:27:16actually, you've got the two best scores on the board, there,
0:27:16 > 0:27:188 and 15, cos there's some big scorers up here.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19- The Ray Bradbury book...- Fahrenheit.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Fahrenheit 451.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23It would have scored you 31. Jules Verne.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Around The World In 80 Days.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Around The World In 80 Days - a big scorer, that, 67.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- And Arthur C Clarke... - 2001: A Space Odyssey.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Space Odyssey, yeah, absolutely right. 57.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Well, we're halfway through the round,
0:27:37 > 0:27:39so let's take a look at those scores... Ewen.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Look at that - lovely low score - Slaughterhouse-Five.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Well done. That puts you and Patrick comfortably ahead of the pack.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49Then up to 15, where we find Dani and Zoe,
0:27:49 > 0:27:51then up to 89, Kyran and Ben. Kyran did it last time around, Ben.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54You have to do it this time, we need a really low score from you.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56And let's hope that's enough to keep you in the game.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58We're going to come back down the line now.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:28:03 > 0:28:06OK, let's put six more book titles with numbers in them
0:28:06 > 0:28:08up on the board - and here they come.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10We've got...
0:28:24 > 0:28:25I'll read those all again.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Now, remember, Zoe,
0:28:41 > 0:28:43we are looking for the titles of these books,
0:28:43 > 0:28:46represented by these letters and numbers on the board.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48You're on 15.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49If you can score 73 or less,
0:28:49 > 0:28:52you are definitely in the head-to-head.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55All the Dickens ones that I know, but that isn't one of them...
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Aah, this is so hard. Can we go back to the other board?
0:28:58 > 0:29:02Um... I'm going to go with the James,
0:29:02 > 0:29:04and it's Fifty Shades Of Grey.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06- Fifty Shades Of Grey... - Of course!- Yay!
0:29:06 > 0:29:07- ..says Zoe.- You got it!
0:29:07 > 0:29:08There you are, you're on 15.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11There is your red line - get below that with Fifty Shades Of Grey
0:29:11 > 0:29:12and you are through to the next round.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16It's right.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- You're through - very well done indeed.- Yay! Whoo!
0:29:19 > 0:29:20- 38.- Well done!
0:29:20 > 0:29:22APPLAUSE That's good enough -
0:29:22 > 0:29:23takes your total up to 53,
0:29:23 > 0:29:24well done.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Well played, Zoe - yeah, I like you going,
0:29:28 > 0:29:30"Yeah, I know my Dickens, but what could the Dickens...?
0:29:30 > 0:29:33"Oh, I know, Fifty Shades Of Grey. I'll go with that."
0:29:33 > 0:29:34One extreme to the other!
0:29:34 > 0:29:36- That's a surprisingly low score, isn't it?- Isn't it?
0:29:36 > 0:29:39I think that's people filling in the forms with their partner in the background -
0:29:39 > 0:29:44"I don't know, I don't... 50, I don't know, Sausages? It's something, I don't know, not...
0:29:44 > 0:29:46- "Not something I've heard of." - LAUGHTER
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Thanks very much indeed.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Now, then, Patrick.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52It's tricky, isn't it? I know a few -
0:29:52 > 0:29:54it's just which one's going to have the least...
0:29:54 > 0:29:57I'm going to go, I think, for...
0:29:57 > 0:29:59A Tale Of Two Cities.
0:29:59 > 0:30:00A Tale Of Two Cities, says Patrick.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02You're on 8. You have to score 80 or less.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05That's what it looks like - get below that with A Tale Of Two Cities
0:30:05 > 0:30:07and you are through to the head-to-head.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12It's right. You are through to the head-to-head.
0:30:14 > 0:30:1661. APPLAUSE
0:30:16 > 0:30:1769, your total.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Well played, Patrick - very good answer.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Yes, an account of - he went to see Swansea City play Stoke City
0:30:24 > 0:30:27in the League Cup, third round of the League Cup.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Dickens wrote a story about it.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Thank you very much indeed.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33- I think that's right? - Sounds about right.- Yeah.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Now, Ben.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36I've been looking forward to my go(!)
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Oh, Ben... Now, listen, I have bad news.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41I have bad news. Even before your answer,
0:30:41 > 0:30:43I'm afraid you are still the high-scorers.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46So, unless you can score minus...
0:30:46 > 0:30:50I'm afraid we will be saying goodbye to you at the end of this round.
0:30:50 > 0:30:51However, this is your chance -
0:30:51 > 0:30:53think of the legacy you can leave, here.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56I haven't got a clue...what, so I'm just going to take a wild guess.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00- OK.- And I'll be very quick, and I'm just going to go Catch-22.
0:31:00 > 0:31:01Joseph Heller, Catch-22.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05Let's see if it's right - let's see how many people said Catch-22.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10It's a great answer.
0:31:11 > 0:31:1266.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14- APPLAUSE - At least I got one right!
0:31:14 > 0:31:15Takes your total up to 155.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Two correct answers on the first podium.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20I love Ben and Kyran both saying, "Oh, I don't understand the round,
0:31:20 > 0:31:22"I don't have a clue, I'll guess,"
0:31:22 > 0:31:24and both coming up with perfectly good answers, as well -
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Catch-22 and The 39 Steps.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Let's fill in the rest of this board.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30The Enid Blyton one is a Famous Five book -
0:31:30 > 0:31:33it's Five...On A Treasure Island.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35Treasure Island - I was trying to work out what that was.
0:31:35 > 0:31:3612 points for that.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39The Jodi Picoult book at the bottom is 19 Minutes -
0:31:39 > 0:31:40it's the best answer on the board,
0:31:40 > 0:31:42it would have scored you 1 point.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44And the top one, you all know -
0:31:44 > 0:31:46it's The Three Musketeers.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Would have scored you 46.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51There we are - thank you very much indeed.
0:31:51 > 0:31:52So, at the end of our second round,
0:31:52 > 0:31:54I'm sorry to say the pair we're having to send home
0:31:54 > 0:31:57with a high score of 155, Ben and Kyran - I'm so sorry.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- Great round, there.- Yeah, it was...
0:32:00 > 0:32:03- Two good answers.- Two good answers. - Now you know what the mechanics of the round...
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Once we understood the game, it just took a while...
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Rugby players, a lot of bangs to the head, but... Yeah. It was...
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Different, hard-to-pronounce names...
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- That's right! - LAUGHTER
0:32:12 > 0:32:14It's been such a treat having you on the show - thank you.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Ben and Kyran, excellent contestants. Thanks so much.
0:32:17 > 0:32:18APPLAUSE
0:32:18 > 0:32:19- PATRICK:- Come on!
0:32:20 > 0:32:24But, for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26APPLAUSE
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Congratulations, Zoe and Dani, Ewen and Patrick -
0:32:30 > 0:32:32you're now one step closer to the final
0:32:32 > 0:32:34and a chance to play for our jackpot for your charities -
0:32:34 > 0:32:37and the jackpot currently stands at £2,500.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40So, now we have to decide who's going to play for that jackpot.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42To do that, you are going to go head-to-head.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45The good news is, you're allowed to confer before you give your answers,
0:32:45 > 0:32:48and the first player to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Listen, very best of luck to both players -
0:32:50 > 0:32:53let's play the head-to-head. APPLAUSE
0:32:58 > 0:33:01OK, here comes your first question - and it concerns...
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Celebrity Weddings In 2014.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08It's exactly what you wanted, isn't it, Patrick?
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Yeah, I've been watching a lot of those...
0:33:10 > 0:33:12- ALEXANDER LAUGHS - ..with interest.- Richard.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14We're going to show you five pictures now, of famous people -
0:33:14 > 0:33:17we need you to tell us the name of the person they married, please,
0:33:17 > 0:33:20in 2014. Very best of luck.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23OK, let's reveal our five pictures - and here they come.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46There we go.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Five celebrities, each of whom has got married in 2014 -
0:33:49 > 0:33:51whom did they marry?
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Zoe and Dani, you will go first.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56- OK.- (Do you think C?)
0:33:56 > 0:33:58(Did he not...)
0:33:58 > 0:34:00OK. Um... Ooh...
0:34:00 > 0:34:02- BOTH:- Ooh!
0:34:02 > 0:34:04- ZOE AND DANI LAUGH - Ooh...- Yeah.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07We don't know whether to choose between C or D, basically.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09I think... I think C.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11So, we're going to go for C...
0:34:11 > 0:34:13- Cheryl Cole.- Cheryl Cole.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15OK, Cheryl Cole for C. Cheryl Cole.
0:34:15 > 0:34:16Now, Ewen and Patrick.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Talk us through that board.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20A - it's fairly obvious
0:34:20 > 0:34:22who that is, Kim Kardashian,
0:34:22 > 0:34:23and she married Kanye West.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25We think E might be Brad Pitt.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27LAUGHTER
0:34:27 > 0:34:29- He maybe married Angelina Jolie. - Angelina.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31And then D, we're hoping,
0:34:31 > 0:34:32is the human rights lawyer
0:34:32 > 0:34:34who married George Clooney.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36- We'll go D, shall we?- OK.
0:34:36 > 0:34:37D, George Clooney.
0:34:37 > 0:34:38D, George Clooney.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40So, we have C, Cheryl Cole,
0:34:40 > 0:34:42D, George Clooney.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Now then, Zoe and Dani said Cheryl Cole - let's see if that's right
0:34:45 > 0:34:48and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Cheryl Cole, C.
0:34:51 > 0:34:52It's right.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59That's a good answer - look at that, 14.
0:34:59 > 0:35:00Very well done indeed.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03APPLAUSE
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Now, meanwhile, Ewen and Patrick
0:35:06 > 0:35:08have taken a bit of a punt, there -
0:35:08 > 0:35:09they've gone for D
0:35:09 > 0:35:10and said George Clooney.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Let's find out if that's right
0:35:12 > 0:35:15and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said George Clooney.
0:35:16 > 0:35:17It's right.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20Mm. I take it that picture's not...
0:35:22 > 0:35:24And it wins you the point - look at that, 9!
0:35:24 > 0:35:26APPLAUSE Superb.
0:35:28 > 0:35:29Very well done indeed. Wow.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32You've broken their serve, Ewen and Patrick.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36- Slice return. - After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Yeah, well played, gents - I think Zoe and Dani
0:35:38 > 0:35:40were wondering which of those two to go for, weren't you?
0:35:40 > 0:35:42- BOTH:- Yeah. - Yeah, that was Amal Alamuddin,
0:35:42 > 0:35:44of course, who married George Clooney.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47A, you're absolutely right, was Kim Kardashian, married to Kanye West.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Would have scored you too many points, though, actually -
0:35:50 > 0:35:51you did well to avoid it. 23 for that.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56Now, B is Alexandra Hedison, and she married Jodie Foster in 2014.
0:35:56 > 0:35:57Oh!
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Which someone in the audience who's just gone, "Yes!", I think knew.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03It's a very good answer - well done if you got that at home.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06And E absolutely is Brad Pitt, and married Angelina Jolie,
0:36:06 > 0:36:09and that would have scored you 62.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12There we go - thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14So, here comes your second question -
0:36:14 > 0:36:15Ewen and Patrick get to answer it first.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Which means, Dani and Zoe,
0:36:17 > 0:36:19yes, the odds are slightly stacked against you,
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- but you have to win this to stay in the game.- Right.- So, best of luck.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23It concerns...
0:36:26 > 0:36:28- Ooh!- Noughtie Words, Richard.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Yeah, we're going to show you five definitions now,
0:36:30 > 0:36:32of words that first appeared in the English dictionary
0:36:32 > 0:36:34during the noughties.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Can you tell us what those words are, please? Very best of luck.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Thanks very much indeed.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Let's reveal our five definitions - and here they come. We've got...
0:37:17 > 0:37:18I'm going to read all those again.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43There you go.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46So, Ewen and Patrick, you will go first.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47..or is it the amount of letters?
0:37:47 > 0:37:50(No, it's not an official noun, it's like...)
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- Oh, I see, I see. - (..a word in the dictionary.)
0:37:52 > 0:37:55A film, a film focusing...
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Yeah, we'll go for...the film...
0:37:58 > 0:37:59Bromance.
0:37:59 > 0:38:00Bromance, say Ewen and Patrick.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Bromance.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05So, then, Zoe and Dani, talk us through the others if you can.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09Um, well, we think that to make a digital recording
0:38:09 > 0:38:11would be podcast...
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- and the puzzle is sudoku.- Mm-hm.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16I have no idea what the first one and the last one is, though.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- Maybe podcast?- Yeah.
0:38:19 > 0:38:20- Yeah.- Yeah, we'll go with podcast.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22- You're going to go with podcast.- Yeah.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24So, we have Bromance and podcast.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Ewen and Patrick said Bromance - let's see if that's right
0:38:26 > 0:38:30and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Bromance.
0:38:32 > 0:38:33It's right.
0:38:36 > 0:38:3747.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39APPLAUSE
0:38:43 > 0:38:45A bit higher than you were expecting?
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Well, I mean, I think they're all going to be quite high,
0:38:47 > 0:38:49apart from the last one.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52OK, well, 47. Now, you have gone, Zoe and Dani, for podcast -
0:38:52 > 0:38:54let's see if that's right
0:38:54 > 0:38:56and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 said podcast.
0:38:58 > 0:38:59It's right.
0:39:02 > 0:39:0360 for podcast.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06APPLAUSE
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Which means, very well done indeed, Ewen and Patrick -
0:39:09 > 0:39:12after only two questions, you are straight through to the final, 2-0.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Well played again, gents - let's fill in this board.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17The middle one is the biggest scorer - that is sudoku.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Would have scored 77.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Top one is the lowest scorer, so we'll look at the bottom one first.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24- Now, the bottom one - I bet you'll know...- Oh, geocaching.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26..it comes up on regular Pointless a lot.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28- Geocaching.- Geocaching, yep.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Would have scored 17. And the top one, I think you knew this, gents,
0:39:31 > 0:39:32it's the best answer there.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34- BOTH:- Paywall. - Yeah, it's a paywall.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36- Yeah, and it would have scored you 8 points.- Wow.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Thank you very much indeed.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:39:41 > 0:39:43I'm sorry to say, Zoe and Dani -
0:39:43 > 0:39:45it's been such a treat having you on.
0:39:45 > 0:39:46And, Dani, lovely to have you back.
0:39:46 > 0:39:47Thank you very much.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51And you've done so well - such a solid performance on the far podium the whole way through.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53- Lovely low scoring.- Thank you.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55You'll just have to come back - but it's been lovely, as I say.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Zoe and Dani, wonderful contestants.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59- Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01APPLAUSE
0:40:01 > 0:40:04But for Ewen and Patrick, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12Congratulations, Ewen and Patrick - you've seen off all the competition,
0:40:12 > 0:40:14and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:40:22 > 0:40:24for your nominated charities
0:40:24 > 0:40:27and, at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,500 -
0:40:27 > 0:40:28there it is.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Well, gentlemen.
0:40:30 > 0:40:35You saw off our EastEnders on this lovely noughties-themed show.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37You then saw off our Rugby World Cup winners - 2003...
0:40:37 > 0:40:41Your old schoolmate! Classmate, even, Patrick.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43- Some sweet revenge there.- Yeah.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47And then you saw off our incredibly strong contenders from the world of children's television.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50All we need from you now is a pointless answer.
0:40:50 > 0:40:51Do you think you can do it in this last round?
0:40:51 > 0:40:54- All we want to give you is a pointless.- Come on, well...
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Listen, as always, you get to choose your category for this round.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58We'll put four up on the board -
0:40:58 > 0:41:00let's hope there's something up there you like the look of.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Today's choices are...
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Well, for me, there's one choice there for me.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Anything, uh, tickle your...
0:41:16 > 0:41:20If I was going to do anything, it'd probably be Sport In 2014.
0:41:20 > 0:41:21But if you're confident...
0:41:21 > 0:41:24I was testing you on some geography questions earlier, and you were pretty good.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26I'd like to go for Geography...
0:41:26 > 0:41:28- Yeah.- ..if you're happy to support me in that?
0:41:28 > 0:41:29It's all on you, though, if we lose.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32- Well, no, not necessarily... - It's all your fault.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34- ..you might have been to some... I think...- Yeah.
0:41:34 > 0:41:35- Is that all right?- Yeah.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38- We'll do World Geography. - We'll do World Geography, please.
0:41:38 > 0:41:39- OK. World Geography. - World Geography.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42World Geography is good, that's what it's going to be. Well done.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Absolutely right, you've got to back yourself if you've got a speciality,
0:41:45 > 0:41:48and if your speciality's geography, if it's capital cities,
0:41:48 > 0:41:49you could be laughing here.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51We're looking for any of the following...
0:41:51 > 0:41:52We're looking for...
0:42:02 > 0:42:05..according to the CIA Factbook. So...
0:42:05 > 0:42:07HE REREADS THE CATEGORIES
0:42:09 > 0:42:12As always, by "country" we mean a sovereign state
0:42:12 > 0:42:14that's a member of the UN in its own right.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Very, very best of luck.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21So, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23All you need to win that jackpot for your charities
0:42:23 > 0:42:25is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27- Are you ready?- Um...- Yeah.
0:42:27 > 0:42:28Shall we have a chat? Can we talk about this?
0:42:28 > 0:42:29- You can in a second.- OK.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32- Are you ready?- We're ready.- You're ready to start the thinking?- Yeah.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:42:35 > 0:42:36There they are - your time starts now.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Right, I've got the middle one.
0:42:40 > 0:42:41- Have you?- Yes.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44- Do you want to hear it, or...? - Yeah, yeah. I do!
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Er, I'm going to go for Lesotho - Lesotho, Lesotho,
0:42:47 > 0:42:49and Maseru is the capital of that,
0:42:49 > 0:42:51which also happens to be, um...
0:42:52 > 0:42:54No, we'll go with that.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57You can go with other ones that border South Africa, if you want.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Border South Africa, um...
0:42:59 > 0:43:03To be definite, I would go...Zimbabwe, Harare,
0:43:03 > 0:43:05but that's quite obvious. Um...
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Botswana...
0:43:08 > 0:43:10is...
0:43:10 > 0:43:12Gaborone, I think.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15- Any ones near Brazil?- Yeah.
0:43:15 > 0:43:19I think...Asuncion, Paraguay.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22Or...does it?
0:43:22 > 0:43:26OK, I think Paramaribo, Suriname's capital, borders Brazil.
0:43:26 > 0:43:28- Ten seconds left.- Let's do that.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31- Yeah?- Let's do that, let's do... - Let's do that, let's do...
0:43:31 > 0:43:35Mase...Maseru, for Lesotho...
0:43:35 > 0:43:37- and...- Gaborone.
0:43:37 > 0:43:38That is your time up,
0:43:38 > 0:43:39let's have your three answers -
0:43:39 > 0:43:42and if you'll say which category you're answering in each case.
0:43:42 > 0:43:45The first one, Capitals That Border Brazil,
0:43:45 > 0:43:47we're going to go for Paramaribo.
0:43:47 > 0:43:48- Paramaribo.- Yeah.
0:43:48 > 0:43:51For Capitals Of Any Country That Border South Africa,
0:43:51 > 0:43:54- Lesotho, Maseru.- Maseru.
0:43:54 > 0:43:58Um, we'll go Namibia, and the capital is Gaborone.
0:43:58 > 0:43:59- Gaborone.- Yeah.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01OK, so, we have Maseru,
0:44:01 > 0:44:04- we have Paramaribo, or ParamarEEbo...- Exactly.
0:44:04 > 0:44:06- ..and we have Gaborone.- Yes.
0:44:06 > 0:44:10Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:44:10 > 0:44:11I think Maseru.
0:44:11 > 0:44:13- Maseru, we'll put last.- Yes.
0:44:13 > 0:44:15Least likely to be pointless?
0:44:15 > 0:44:17Probably Gaborone.
0:44:17 > 0:44:19Gaborone we'll put first, and Paramaribo in the middle.
0:44:19 > 0:44:23OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order, then. Here they are.
0:44:23 > 0:44:24We've got...
0:44:28 > 0:44:31Well, very, very best of luck. Three great answers up on the board.
0:44:31 > 0:44:34- Thank you.- Let's hope at least one of those is pointless
0:44:34 > 0:44:36and will win that jackpot for you. If you were to win it,
0:44:36 > 0:44:39what charities are you going to be donating the winnings to?
0:44:39 > 0:44:40Ewen?
0:44:40 > 0:44:42I am going to be giving to Sparks,
0:44:42 > 0:44:44which is a great charity for children, very young children,
0:44:44 > 0:44:47and also mothers when they're pregnant.
0:44:47 > 0:44:49Does a lot of great work - who I've worked with before -
0:44:49 > 0:44:51- so, yeah, that'll be mine. - Excellent. Patrick?
0:44:51 > 0:44:54Mine is the Palestine Children Relief Fund.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57- So...- OK, well, very well done. APPLAUSE
0:44:57 > 0:45:00Two great charities there.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03Fingers crossed at least one of these answers will be pointless,
0:45:03 > 0:45:06and will win money for those causes.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08Gaborone was your least confident shot at a pointless answer -
0:45:08 > 0:45:11remember, only one has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:45:11 > 0:45:14But, for £2,500, let's see how many people
0:45:14 > 0:45:17named Gaborone as a capital of a country that borders South Africa.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19Gaborone, is it pointless?
0:45:22 > 0:45:24It's right.
0:45:24 > 0:45:25Very well done indeed.
0:45:25 > 0:45:28Down Gaborone goes - through the 50s, through the 40s,
0:45:28 > 0:45:31into the 20s, and the teens, probably into single figures...
0:45:31 > 0:45:33Yes, down it goes, down it goes, still going...
0:45:33 > 0:45:353! APPLAUSE
0:45:35 > 0:45:36Not bad at all!
0:45:38 > 0:45:40You'll take that as your first answer -
0:45:40 > 0:45:42your least likely to be pointless.
0:45:42 > 0:45:453 - all looking very good for your two subsequent answers.
0:45:45 > 0:45:49So, your next answer was Paramaribo.
0:45:49 > 0:45:50In this case, we were looking for
0:45:50 > 0:45:52the capital of any country that borders Brazil.
0:45:52 > 0:45:53Let's find out if it's right
0:45:53 > 0:45:56and, if it is, let's see how many people said it, for £2,500.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59Is it pointless? Paramaribo.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03It's right.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05Now, Gaborone took us all the way down to 3.
0:46:05 > 0:46:08Paramaribo - is that going to take us below 3?
0:46:08 > 0:46:09Will it take us down to pointless?
0:46:09 > 0:46:12It's going down through the teens, it's into single figures,
0:46:12 > 0:46:14down it goes - down, it passes 3 - still going down...
0:46:14 > 0:46:16You've done it, very well done indeed!
0:46:16 > 0:46:19APPLAUSE Absolutely fantastic. Well done.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21Brilliant. Very well done.
0:46:22 > 0:46:23Superb.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25Lovely, lovely.
0:46:25 > 0:46:26Oh, thank you, thank you.
0:46:26 > 0:46:29Very, very well done indeed.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31Ewen and Patrick, great teamwork throughout the show -
0:46:31 > 0:46:34- but Patrick, particularly, in that last round.- Yeah.
0:46:34 > 0:46:36- And, Ewen, well done for letting him do that.- Letting me go!
0:46:36 > 0:46:40- Absolutely - well!- Congratulations, that's extremely good teamwork -
0:46:40 > 0:46:42Paramaribo was, of course, a pointless answer.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44Means you go home with that jackpot of £2,500
0:46:44 > 0:46:46- for your charities - brilliant. - Fantastic, fantastic.
0:46:46 > 0:46:47Now, Richard...
0:46:47 > 0:46:50That's exactly the way to play the game - very well done.
0:46:50 > 0:46:52Gaborone - you were right the first time, actually,
0:46:52 > 0:46:55it's the capital of Botswana, not Namibia - scored you 3 points.
0:46:55 > 0:46:58The capital of Namibia is Windhoek, which would have scored you 5.
0:46:58 > 0:47:01Maseru, you're absolutely right, is the capital of Lesotho.
0:47:01 > 0:47:04If we'd had to go down there, it would have scored you 1 point.
0:47:04 > 0:47:06- No, no! - Should have gone that way....
0:47:06 > 0:47:09Yeah, it would have been more exciting. Would have been more exciting.
0:47:09 > 0:47:11Let's take a look at all the pointless answers
0:47:11 > 0:47:13in the various different categories.
0:47:13 > 0:47:14There's not many in the Brazilian one,
0:47:14 > 0:47:16which is where you got your pointless answer -
0:47:16 > 0:47:18Georgetown, which is Guyana,
0:47:18 > 0:47:20and there's Paramaribo, which is the capital of Suriname,
0:47:20 > 0:47:22which won you the money. Very well played.
0:47:22 > 0:47:25It's the only two pointless answers there. For South Africa...
0:47:26 > 0:47:27The top one and the bottom one there
0:47:27 > 0:47:29are both capitals of Swaziland.
0:47:29 > 0:47:33Lobamba is the royal capital, Mbabane is the regular capital,
0:47:33 > 0:47:36and Maputo, which is the capital of Mozambique,
0:47:36 > 0:47:37also a pointless answer.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40There's more pointless answers in the final category -
0:47:40 > 0:47:41the island nations.
0:47:41 > 0:47:44Antananarivo, which is Madagascar.
0:47:44 > 0:47:45Manila, the Philippines.
0:47:45 > 0:47:47Port Lewis, which is Mauritius.
0:47:47 > 0:47:48Roseau, which is Dominica.
0:47:48 > 0:47:51You also could have had the capitals of Tuvalu, which is Funafuti,
0:47:51 > 0:47:53and Vanuatu, Port Vila,
0:47:53 > 0:47:55two of our favourite ever pointless answers.
0:47:55 > 0:47:57Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:47:57 > 0:47:59Gents, you played brilliantly all the way through that -
0:47:59 > 0:48:01absolutely solid as a rock. 2-0 in the head-to-head,
0:48:01 > 0:48:04and then the perfect way to play that final round,
0:48:04 > 0:48:06which is if one of you's confident, you've got to go for that category.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09Well said. Thanks very much indeed.
0:48:09 > 0:48:11Well, thanks once again to our winning players, Ewen and Patrick,
0:48:11 > 0:48:14who go away with today's jackpot of £2,500
0:48:14 > 0:48:17for their charities - well done. APPLAUSE
0:48:19 > 0:48:23Join us next time, when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:48:23 > 0:48:25- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:48:25 > 0:48:27..and it's goodbye from me - goodbye.
0:48:27 > 0:48:29APPLAUSE
