0:01:19 > 0:01:23Thanks very much. We will find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Together, we're like a pair of aging rockers and, as such,
0:01:28 > 0:01:32he'll be doing an incredibly self-indulgent 14-minute fact solo.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Good evening. - APPLAUSE

0:01:42 > 0:01:47- What's the word? Fun?- That's a word. That's it.- It should be great fun.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51You would expect, I think, podium one to win, wouldn't you?
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Apprentice contestants. - They've got the will to, I think.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58They're used to this sort of drama and jeopardy.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Yeah, we can handle the pressure.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02We are going to fire one of you after Round One, just so you know.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- That one.- We'll see.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I suggest we just get on.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08OK, let's get it done.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11As usual all today's questions have been asked
0:02:11 > 0:02:12to 100 people before the show.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Our contestants are looking for those all-important pointless answers,
0:02:16 > 0:02:18the answers that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23As today's show is a celebrity special,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26each of you is playing for a nominated charity,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29we start off with a very generous jackpot of £2,500.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:32 > 0:02:34If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37APPLAUSE
0:02:40 > 0:02:43All you have to remember is that the pair with the highest score
0:02:43 > 0:02:46at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Also, there is to be no conferring until we get to Round Three.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Our first category this evening is...
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Famous People. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:02:58 > 0:03:01who's going first, who's going second?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10OK, the question concerns...
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- Famous Divas, Richard. - On each board,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19we're going to show you seven clues to famous female singers.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21You have to name the most obscure that you can.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23There will be seven on each board, 14 in all to have a go at home.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28- Best of luck.- Fabulous. Let's reveal our first board of seven divas.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I'll now read that again.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Whoa, thank you very much. APPLAUSE
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Solomon, Solomon, here from The Apprentice.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Before you went onto The Apprentice, you were already an entrepreneur.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47You had great success. Did The Apprentice help at all?
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- Did you learn stuff from it?- I learnt how to write a business plan
0:04:51 > 0:04:53cos that was the reason I got fired, so...
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- That was basically it. - That's basically it.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57You could have just had a meeting with someone,
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- or done a day-long course, couldn't you?- Yeah.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02My business plan was three pages. I kind of mucked up a bit.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05OK. Now, Solomon, the board, it's all yours.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10So, I'm finding this quite hard cos I'm not really a singer, so...
0:05:10 > 0:05:13You know what, you don't really have to be a singer to...
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Yeah, but I'm just thinking, yeah...
0:05:15 > 0:05:20So, I'm thinking I want to go with the top one. Is that the answer?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Um, you then have to give the answer.- OK.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25So, um...
0:05:25 > 0:05:29So, I'm pretty sure Dirrty and Beautiful were sung
0:05:29 > 0:05:31by that woman called Britney Spears.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- No! They weren't!- OK. LAUGHTER
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Oh, my God!
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- That singer Britney Spears. - Can I change my answer?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41No, course you can't! Britney Spears, says Solomon.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Let's see if it's right
0:05:43 > 0:05:45and how many of our 100 said Britney Spears.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49The suspense is killing me here.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Oh, Solomon, I'm so sorry. - Shocking!- I'm so sorry.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53An incorrect answer there,
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- scores you 100 points. - That's shocking!
0:05:56 > 0:05:58I cannot believe you got fired, Solomon.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- I find that extraordinary(!) - LAUGHTER
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Good start to the round, anyway.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08- Carl.- Yes.- We've got reality show royalty here.- Thank you, mate.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11That crown - they give you a crown. What's it made of, the crown?
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- Kind of like flowers and soil and weeds and stuff.- Did you keep it?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- It died. It didn't even make it to the airport, no.- Really?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- I wasn't allowed to go through customs with it.- Oh!
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Now, Carl, back to your former career,
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- if you can remember back before the jungle.- Yes.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31You were the most successful Superbike champion of all time.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33I can just about remember that.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35I've had a few crashes and bangs on the head,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37but I can just remember I used to race motorbikes.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40What's the fastest you've ever been on a bike?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42I think the fastest probably I did, back in my day,
0:06:42 > 0:06:45was about 190 mile an hour down the long straights
0:06:45 > 0:06:47on circuits like Hockenheim and Monza,
0:06:47 > 0:06:50but nowadays, the guys are up to 215 now.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Now, Carl, this board. It's all got a lot easier now, thanks to Solomon.
0:06:54 > 0:07:00Yeah, I know two or three, maybe four, but I'm going to go with -
0:07:00 > 0:07:02it might be a bit lower point-scoring
0:07:02 > 0:07:05than the other two that I'm confident of -
0:07:05 > 0:07:07and that is "Angela Bassett played this singer
0:07:07 > 0:07:10"in the biopic entitled What's Love Got To Do With It."
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- I think that's Tina Turner. - Tina Turner, says Carl.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 said Tina Turner.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19It is right.
0:07:22 > 0:07:2538. Not bad, Foggy, 38.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28APPLAUSE
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Well played, Carl. She's had over 30 UK Top 40 hits, Tina Turner.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- Never had a number 1. - Thanks, Richard.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Craig, welcome here.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39The first ever winner of Big Brother over here.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- Did life ever go back to normal after that?- Not really, no.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- It's been quite busy for over 15 years now.- Yeah.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- You were a very successful builder before that.- Yeah, before.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50I imagine you going back on the site,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- you couldn't pretend nothing had changed.- Not really, no.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I bet you your quotes went up. LAUGHTER
0:07:56 > 0:07:58I got too busy doing makeover shows,
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I didn't get the time to go back onsite
0:08:00 > 0:08:02and work for the public no more.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Now, Craig, 100 and 38 -
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- they're the only two scores we've got so far.- OK.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08How are you feeling about this board?
0:08:08 > 0:08:12I think I know three, possibly four of them on there.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I'm going to go for the fifth one down,
0:08:14 > 0:08:17the country singer famous for her blonde wigs
0:08:17 > 0:08:21and rhinestone costumes who played at Glastonbury in 2014.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Can I say Dolly Parton? - You can say Dolly Parton, Craig.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30It is right.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Oh, 75! That's OK. APPLAUSE
0:08:33 > 0:08:36It's not the highest score.
0:08:36 > 0:08:3875's fine.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40She was absolutely amazing at Glastonbury as well.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Incredible show she put on. - Yeah. Thanks, Rich.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Jamie, welcome to the show. Good to have you on Pointless.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- Thank you for having us.- You are the heir to the McVitie's biscuit empire.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Um...- Is this true?- I don't... I mean... I don't know.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- I don't know.- Yes.- Yes? - That's exciting.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Cos we are big fans of biscuits. - Love biscuits.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02LAUGHTER We are so excited about that.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Have you grown up surrounded by biscuits?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Yeah, I had lots of biscuits when I was young,
0:09:07 > 0:09:10lived in a biscuit house... It was great.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- At my wedding, there'll just be biscuits...- Crumbs.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Crumbs everywhere.- That's going to be amazing.- I can't wait!
0:09:16 > 0:09:18LAUGHTER
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- Well, good luck to you, Jamie.- Thank you.- What about this board here?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23There's only been two correct answers,
0:09:23 > 0:09:25so there's quite a lot for you to choose from still.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27I think I know one.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29I'm going to go for the top one,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32American singer who had number one hits with Dirrty and Beautiful.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- I think it's Christina Aguilera. - Christina Aguilera, says Jamie.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said that.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45100's our high score. You passed that instantly. 38 is our low.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- Look at that, you passed it! - Come on!
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- 25!- Come on! - APPLAUSE
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Jamie, 25 for Christina Aguilera.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58Well played, Jamie. I could have sworn it was Britney Spears.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- There we go.- Let's go through the rest of this board.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05Played the lead in The Rose was the Divine Miss M, Bette Midler.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Would have scored 12.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12- The Swedish singer was Agnetha Faltskog, previously from Abba.- Yes.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Would have scored you 4. The French singer?
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- Edith Piaf.- Edith Piaf, 45.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20And the actress, director and singer?
0:10:20 > 0:10:24- Barbra Streisand.- Barbra Streisand. And that would have scored you 5.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26So, Agnetha Faltskog is the best answer on that board.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- Well done if you said that at home. - Thank you very much.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Halfway through the round, let's look at the scores.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Well done, Jamie. 25, the best score of that pass.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Then up to 38, we find Carl and Jimmy.
0:10:36 > 0:10:3875, where we find Craig and Nikki,
0:10:38 > 0:10:41then up to 100, where we find Solomon and Ruth.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43So, Ruth, you're not THAT far out in front
0:10:43 > 0:10:45but you know what we need.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- A low score.- A miracle. - Good luck with that.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Let's put seven more divas up on the board and here they come.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33Here we go, one more time.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- Alex, warm welcome to Pointless. - Hello.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Made In Chelsea, how did that start for you? What happened?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15My ex-girlfriend was actually on it and I think they wanted
0:12:15 > 0:12:19to cause some drama and then I came into it, basically.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- Do they just follow you the whole time?- It's quite invasive.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26So I wake up and there's a camera, go to sleep, there's a camera.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29No, it's not that bad. It's quite full-on, though.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31- Now, Alex.- Yeah.- You're on 25.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33The high-scorers are Ruth and Solomon.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- We're doing well.- Incredibly well. Lovely low score from Jamie.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40We need 74 or less if you want to avoid becoming the new high-scorers.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41OK, I think I know two.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45I'm going to go with second from bottom, which is Rihanna.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Rihanna. Diamonds, Rihanna. Here's your red line, nice and high.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51If you get below that, you are definitely in the next round.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Let's see how many of our 100 said Rihanna.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59It's right. You're through! Well done, Alex.
0:13:03 > 0:13:0517! APPLAUSE
0:13:05 > 0:13:07It's the lowest score of the round so far!
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- 42 is your total. - We've rigged it. It's rigged.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Very well played, Alex.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15She's got a tattoo which says, "Never a failure, always a lesson."
0:13:15 > 0:13:18She's got it tattooed under her neck backwards,
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- so it reads forwards in the mirror. - Thanks very much indeed. Nikki.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24How lovely to have you here on Pointless.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- Thank you.- A warm welcome to you.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Was Big Brother a good thing, would you say?
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Are you glad you did Big Brother?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33I absolutely loved it, I really did.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38I've watched every show, so I'm happy that I did it
0:13:38 > 0:13:42and it definitely changed my life for the better.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45OK, very good. Nikki, you're on 75.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47The high-scorers, you're only 24 points behind them.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49What are you going to go for?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52So, I'm stuck between two at the moment -
0:13:52 > 0:13:56I think I'm going to go with the last one and say Annie Lennox.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Annie Lennox. Now, I said only 24 points behind.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Of course, 75 is 25 behind 100, but she wants to score 24 or less
0:14:02 > 0:14:05to avoid equalling them, is what I meant.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07There is your red line.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09If you can get below that, you're in very good shape.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Let's see how many said it.
0:14:16 > 0:14:1972. APPLAUSE
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Not bad. You're still in the game, very much.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25- 147 is your total. - Yeah, correct answer,
0:14:25 > 0:14:28just three less famous than Dolly Parton, Annie Lennox.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- 72's a big score.- Yeah.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Thanks very much. Jimmy.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Hello.- Welcome.- Thank you. Thanks for having us.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- It's nothing but a pleasure. - Very good.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- You're a retired footballer.- Yeah.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42You're very young to be a retired footballer, Jimmy.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Yeah, it doesn't last forever, does it? That's the problem.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48It doesn't, but where does it go from here?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- Are going to do management, Jimmy?- I would love to be a manager one day.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54It's in me, but I need to get my badges
0:14:54 > 0:14:57and you have to do a lot of paperwork for that
0:14:57 > 0:14:58and I'm not really made for that.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Jimmy, you are actually through to the next round,
0:15:01 > 0:15:02doesn't matter what you score.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- Yes!- I bet you've got a good answer.- I've got to be honest,
0:15:05 > 0:15:07I'm struggling here.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10So I'm going to take a guess and go for the top one.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12I'm going to go Taylor Swift,
0:15:12 > 0:15:15but I know she's not a country singer but I have to give an answer,
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- so I'm going to go Taylor Swift for the top one.- Taylor Swift.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20No red line for you, but let's see
0:15:20 > 0:15:22how many of our 100 said Taylor Swift?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- It's absolutely right.- Is it right? Get in there!- Get in there!
0:15:29 > 0:15:30It's a good score.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34- 24 for Taylor Swift takes your total up to 62.- Yes!
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- APPLAUSE - Well played, Jimmy.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Only the second Fulham player we've had on Pointless Celebrities
0:15:39 > 0:15:43- after George Cohen.- Oh, really? - Yeah.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Taylor Swift started out purely as a country singer,
0:15:46 > 0:15:49now there's still a bit of country in what she does.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Thank you. Ruth.- Yes.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54You didn't win The Apprentice but you have just gone on.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- You've had a stonking career since The Apprentice.- Some might say, yes.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Massive. So what are you up to at the moment?
0:16:00 > 0:16:04I run my own businesses now, so I'm all over the country doing business,
0:16:04 > 0:16:08- which is what The Apprentice was about when I went in.- Did it help?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Great experience, very competitive,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13takes you out your comfort zone, taught me loads,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16especially how to argue - sorry, negotiate - in a boardroom,
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- but great experience for me.- And put the name of Badger out there.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- Put the Badger out there. - Absolutely.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23You are no longer the high-scorers.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26You were - thanks, Solomon. No longer.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28You have to score 46 or less to stay with us.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29Do you think you can do it?
0:16:29 > 0:16:33I know one answer off that board, where the others I'd be guessing.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36But I'm definitely going to go for number two, which is Amy Winehouse.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39OK. Amy Winehouse. There is your red line.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41If you get below that, you are through to the next round.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Let's see if it's right. Amy Winehouse for Frank.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48It's right.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Well done, you've done it! Still with us! Look at that!
0:16:53 > 0:16:576, the lowest score of the round. Very well done indeed, Ruth.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Takes your total up to 106. APPLAUSE
0:16:59 > 0:17:02An even better answer than Bette Midler, it turns out.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03Very well played, Ruth.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Let's look through the rest of these.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- The Greek singer is... - Nana Mouskouri.- Nana Mouskouri.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10She would have scored you 38.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- Do you know the star of the West End musicals?- Elaine Paige?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15It is Elaine Paige. 4 points as well,
0:17:15 > 0:17:18so it's the best answer on the board. And the singer?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- Cher.- Cher. That would have scored you 40.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Thank you, Richard.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26At the end of our first round, the pair who are heading home,
0:17:26 > 0:17:29I'm so sorry. Nothing wrong with your answers,
0:17:29 > 0:17:31They were just high-scorers.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- That's OK.- We've enjoyed it anyway.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Lovely having you on the show.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Nikki and Craig, everyone.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40APPLAUSE
0:17:40 > 0:17:43But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46APPLAUSE
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Suddenly we're down to three pairs.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51At the end of this round, we'll be down to two pairs,
0:17:51 > 0:17:53in time for our head-to-head round.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Our category for Round Two is...
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Words.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:18:14 > 0:18:17A-R-K. Richard.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20We're looking for any word in the English language that ends -ark.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23That's any word with its own entry in the English language section
0:18:23 > 0:18:27of oxforddictionaries.com, as of March, 2015, that ends -ark.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30No proper nouns, no hyphenated words or anything like that,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33but any word that ends -ark. Best of luck.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38- Thanks very much indeed. Solomon, we come to you.- I've got one.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43So, I obviously know a lot of words and I'm thinking of an animal.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- Do you want to hear it now? - Yes.- Aardvark.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52So, I was saying. I know, so, hopefully, fingers crossed...
0:18:52 > 0:18:56- Is it right? Is it that thing, etc? - Please be right.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Well, it is a right word, right?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- It IS a right word. - I think that might be pointless.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Yes!
0:19:04 > 0:19:0721 for aardvark! APPLAUSE
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Not bad, Solomon, not bad. 21.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15- Nocturnal burrowing mammal. - There we are.- From Africa.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Carl, there we are. Carl, what would you like to go for?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I'm not sure I can have Noah's Ark.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- Or could you?- It has to be one word.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28Bark?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31LAUGHTER
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- What?- OK.- Bark, like a dog barks. Bark.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- No?- Let's see if bark is right.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42Obviously it's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said bark.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Come on!
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Oh! APPLAUSE
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Oh, dear, oh, dear. This is one of those few occasions
0:19:52 > 0:19:55where bite would actually have been worse than bark, but...
0:19:55 > 0:19:57I thought it would be lower than that.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Bark is, of course, the noise made by an aardvark.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02LAUGHTER
0:20:02 > 0:20:06- Alex.- Yes.- What would you like to go for?- I'm going to go with lark.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11- That was the other one.- Let's see how many of our 100 people said lark.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- CARL:- Please be lower. Higher, sorry.
0:20:14 > 0:20:1883! LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:20:18 > 0:20:21APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH
0:20:21 > 0:20:22I mean, genuinely,
0:20:22 > 0:20:26who would have thought Solomon would be the lowest scorer by a mile?
0:20:26 > 0:20:27LAUGHTER
0:20:27 > 0:20:30We're halfway through the round, so let's take a look at the scores.
0:20:30 > 0:20:3221, well done, Solomon.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Solomon and Ruth very much at the top of the table.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Then up to 79, Carl and Jimmy,
0:20:37 > 0:20:40then up to 83 where we find Alex and Jamie.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:20:45 > 0:20:50OK, Jamie, a word ending -ark. A nice obscure word ending -ark.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53You're the high-scorers, so it needs to be low.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- I'm going to go for remark. - Remark, says Jamie.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58That's earned you an "Ooh"
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- from our audience.- Thank you.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02No red line for you as you're the high-scorers,
0:21:02 > 0:21:06but let's see how far down the board you get with remark.
0:21:10 > 0:21:1321's our lowest score so far
0:21:13 > 0:21:14and you pass it. Look at that.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Come on!- Well done.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19APPLAUSE 95 is your total.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH
0:21:23 > 0:21:27As so often before, it all comes down to Jimmy Bullard now.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29LAUGHTER
0:21:29 > 0:21:34- Come on then, Jimmy. - I don't even know if this is a word.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36It's sounding good already.
0:21:36 > 0:21:3815 or less is what you've got to score, Jimmy.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- Oh, come on, this is so embarrassing.- Come on, mate.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- Is stark a word? - Why would that not be a word?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- It's just not a word that I've used before.- You just have.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- But I'm going with it. - That's a good one.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Stark. Here's your red line.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56You've got to get below that to stay in the game.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Let's see how many of our 100 said stark.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- It's right.- It's right.- Come on!
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- Oh, 30!- Oh!- Well done, mate. - APPLAUSE
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- 109 is your total.- This is fantastic.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16The good news is, though, we've finally solved the mystery
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- of whether stark is a word or not. - LAUGHTER
0:22:19 > 0:22:23When would you use a word like that? What does it mean?
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Stark, staring bonkers, maybe.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27OK, like my mate.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30That'll do, yeah. Thank you. Now, so, Ruth.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35- 87 or less. - Um, I'm going to go for... Argh...
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Er...mark.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- Mark. - That's definitely got to be higher!
0:22:43 > 0:22:45LAUGHTER
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Living on the edge, living on the edge.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50There's your red line. You've got to get below that.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53At least it means something.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Let's see how many of our 100 people said mark.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- You've done it.- Ooh!- Just.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- 73.- No way!- Playing it safe? - Takes your total up to 94.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07APPLAUSE
0:23:07 > 0:23:11That might be the worst Words round we have ever had, I think.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13LAUGHTER
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Let's take a look at the pointless answers. Quite a few.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Fingermark, paperbark.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Sitzmark is the impression left in the snow
0:23:24 > 0:23:26when a skier falls over, apparently, a sitzmark.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28I didn't know we had a word for that.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Telemark is a skiing turn
0:23:30 > 0:23:32and woodlark, also a lovely pointless answer.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Well done if you said any of those. - Thank you, Richard.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37At the end of our second round,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39the pair heading home with our high score of 109,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- I'm sorry, Jimmy and Carl. - Cheers, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Nothing wrong with your answers. SPARSE APPLAUSE
0:23:45 > 0:23:48- That was a token clap. Come on! - LAUGHTER
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Listen, you must come back and play again and do better.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- I'll bring a different partner. - It's been lovely having you on.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Jimmy and Carl.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Cheers, guys, thanks.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01APPLAUSE
0:24:01 > 0:24:05For Jamie and Alex, Solomon and Ruth, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08APPLAUSE
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Congratulations, Jamie and Alex, Solomon and Ruth,
0:24:11 > 0:24:13you're one step closer to the final
0:24:13 > 0:24:18and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £2,500.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:24:21 > 0:24:25This is the point where we decide who goes through to the final
0:24:25 > 0:24:28and plays for that jackpot and we do that by making you go head-to-head.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30But you're now allowed to confer before you give your answers
0:24:30 > 0:24:32and the first pair to win two questions
0:24:32 > 0:24:35will be playing for that jackpot. Simple as that.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40APPLAUSE
0:24:43 > 0:24:47OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:24:50 > 0:24:51Meeting the Queen, Richard.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54I'm going to show you five pictures of famous people meeting the Queen,
0:24:54 > 0:24:57but who is she shaking hands with, please?
0:24:57 > 0:25:00OK, let's reveal the five people shaking hands with the Queen
0:25:00 > 0:25:02and here they are.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23There we are. Five people meeting the Queen.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Jamie and Alex, you've been our low-scorers in total,
0:25:26 > 0:25:27so you will go first.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31I reckon we either go for E or C.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- C is slightly under the radar. - Hardly.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- Hardly, but more under the radar. - OK, let's go with C.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- We're going to go with C.- Jamie and Alex, what are you going to say?
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- Do you want to say it?- I'll say the first name, you can say the second.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47- Perfect.- Fearne.- Cotton. - Fearne Cotton, say Jamie and Alex.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Fearne Cotton. Solomon and Ruth, talk us through the rest of the board.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55- OK, which ones do you know?- So... - Can I say the names?- You can.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- You've got Liam Nielson. - Which one's he? A?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00He's A, but I don't know
0:26:00 > 0:26:02if you'd recognise him off that picture, so I think we should go A.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- I trust the Badger. - And you're going to say A?
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- Yeah. Liam Nielson.- Liam Nielson.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10OK, so we have Fearne Cotton and Liam Nielson.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13In the order they were given, Jamie and Alex said C, Fearne Cotton.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Let's see if that's right and how many people said Fearne Cotton.
0:26:19 > 0:26:20Come on.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Come on! Come on!
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Come on, mate! Yes!
0:26:26 > 0:26:27There we are. 16.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Is that under the radar enough for you, Jamie and Alex?
0:26:31 > 0:26:35- I feel like that is very stealth, very stealth of us.- Very stealth.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- Stealthy.- Solomon and Ruth have gone for Liam Nielson for A.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42Let's see if it's right and how many people said Liam Nielson.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- RUTH:- Oh!- JAMIE:- Yes!- Oh, I'm sorry.
0:26:47 > 0:26:52- In every other instance, always trust the Badger. On this one... - Never do.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Very well done, Jamie and Alex. After one question, you're up 1-0. Richard.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00- Yeah, Liam Neeson, of course.- Oh! - So, we're still in the game?
0:27:00 > 0:27:02- I pronounced it wrong. - It's not pronunciation.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Nielson is a different surname, pronounced Nielson.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08And Liam Neeson, if you'd said Neeson,
0:27:08 > 0:27:10would have scored you 43 points.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- B is the best answer on the board, actually.- Annie Leibovitz.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Annie Leibovitz, the photographer, would have scored you 5 points.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19D is Angela Merkel.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22She would have scored you 56.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24And the biggest scorer on the board is E.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27It's Lady Gaga and would have scored you 65.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Thanks very much. Here comes your second question.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Solomon and Ruth, you answer this one first,
0:27:32 > 0:27:34but you have to get win it to stay in the game.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Second question concerns...
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- Richard.- We're going to play you a little extract
0:27:42 > 0:27:44from five Eurovision Song Contest winning songs.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46We need you to tell us the name of the country
0:27:46 > 0:27:49that released these five songs, please.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53OK, so let's play our five excerpts. Here is the first excerpt.

0:28:29 > 0:28:31C.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35# You threw me down but
0:28:35 > 0:28:40# I'm gonna fly
0:28:40 > 0:28:44# And rise like a phoenix
0:28:44 > 0:28:46# Out of the ashes
0:28:46 > 0:28:50# Seeking rather than vengeance
0:28:50 > 0:28:53# Retribution, you were warned... #

0:29:15 > 0:29:17And here is E.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21# Hard rock hallelujah
0:29:21 > 0:29:26# Hard rock hallelujah... #
0:29:33 > 0:29:36There we go. Five excerpts from Eurovision winners.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Solomon, Ruth, what are you going to go for?
0:29:39 > 0:29:43- Um... Oh, no!- I... - I know the last one. I can hear...
0:29:43 > 0:29:44- Shall we flip a coin?- No.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47I can actually hear the last song because it's a mad video,
0:29:47 > 0:29:48so I can see it in my head.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51- I think go with your gut feeling on this one.- Right.
0:29:51 > 0:29:56I'm going to punt it. I'm going to say E and I'm going to go Norway.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59E, Norway, say Solomon and Ruth.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Now, Jamie and Alex, talk us through the rest of them.
0:30:02 > 0:30:03Do you want to begin?
0:30:03 > 0:30:07We were trying to pick out languages and I believe B was sung in French,
0:30:07 > 0:30:10but other than that it was all English.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14And then you thought E... He went, "E, it's Scandinavian."
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- Scandinavian. Swedish, maybe. - I think we go B then.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22- We'll go B, French.- You're going to say B, France.- France.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26So, we have E, Norway, B, France. Solomon and Ruth said E, Norway.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 said Norway.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36No. Jamie and Alex said B, France.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41It only has to be right for you to win the point.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46No, both wrong.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50Which means, after two questions, Jamie and Alex, you're still up 1-0.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54People at home screaming, "Please just go for Abba. Go for Abba."
0:30:54 > 0:30:57We didn't know where Abba were from. We couldn't remember.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01- RUTH:- They're Danish, aren't they? - Sweden.- Swedish? I said that!
0:31:01 > 0:31:06The first one... Let's take a tiny listen to them. A.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09- # Wishing wells... # - It's Dana for Ireland.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Ireland would have scored you 66.
0:31:12 > 0:31:17B is not France, it's Celine Dion singing for Switzerland.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19It would have been a good answer and scored you 11.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22The third one was Conchita Wurst, very famously,
0:31:22 > 0:31:26and Austria the answer there.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Austria would have scored you 27.
0:31:28 > 0:31:34D, Abba, from Sweden, we discover. Sweden would have scored you 81.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37And E.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41Everyone's right, it's Scandinavian, but it's Lordi from Finland.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45That would have scored you 39.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Lordi, indeed. OK, here comes your third question.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Jamie and Alex, you get to answer it first but Solomon and Ruth,
0:31:51 > 0:31:54you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56It concerns...
0:31:57 > 0:32:01- Zoo animals.- We're going to show you the names of five zoo animals now.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04I wish we hadn't done this now, but we put them in anagram form.
0:32:04 > 0:32:09Can you unscramble them and give us the most obscure answer, please?
0:32:09 > 0:32:11And when I say please, I mean PLEASE.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13LAUGHTER
0:32:13 > 0:32:17Thanks, Richard. Let's reveal our five anagrams. We've got...
0:32:31 > 0:32:35- Jamie and Alex, your go first. - My spelling is so bad.
0:32:35 > 0:32:36WHISPERED DISCUSSION
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- Shall we go with the second one? - Is that how you spell it?
0:32:39 > 0:32:42- I think so.- How sure?- 90%. - OK, for 90% I'd say it.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44If you're wrong, I'm going to be furious.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48Um, number two we think is alligator.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52OK, Jamie and Alex are saying alligator for "A trial log".
0:32:52 > 0:32:56- Solomon and Ruth, the board is all yours.- OK.- Talk us through it.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58The second one up is meerkat.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01I kind of think "ark meet" is a real animal anyway.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- Yeah, let's... Shall we go...? - LAUGHTER
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- We'll go for meerkat. - Meerkat.- Please.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10You're going for meerkat. So, we've got alligator and meerkat.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Jamie and Alex said alligator. Let's see if that's right
0:33:13 > 0:33:15and how many people said alligator.
0:33:22 > 0:33:2316.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26APPLAUSE
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- Now, Solomon and Ruth... - Oh, it IS us!- Yeah.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34- Come on!- I wondered why you weren't celebrating.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38Solomon and Ruth have gone for meerkat for "ark meet".
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Let's see if that's right and how many people said that.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47It's right. Oi, look at that. 83.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Very well done. APPLAUSE
0:33:49 > 0:33:51After three questions, we've finally got there.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Jamie and Alex, you are through to the final, 2-0.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57The best answer on the board, gents, so very well played.
0:33:57 > 0:33:58The top one is rhinoceros.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Would have scored you 26. The middle one, chimpanzee.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Would have scored you 38.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09- And at the bottom...? - Antelope.- Antelope.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11That would have scored you 19.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13So alligator, best answer up there.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:16 > 0:34:20- I'm sorry, Solomon and Ruth, it is you. You made it this far.- Yay!
0:34:20 > 0:34:23It's been such an experience having you on the show.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25LAUGHTER
0:34:25 > 0:34:28- Please come back and do it again. - Never, never!
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Thanks for playing, Solomon and Ruth.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:34:34 > 0:34:37But for Jamie and Alex, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40APPLAUSE
0:34:41 > 0:34:45Well done, Jamie and Alex. What about that?
0:34:45 > 0:34:48You've seen off I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here,
0:34:48 > 0:34:51you've seen off The Apprentice in the head-to-head
0:34:51 > 0:34:53and you saw off Big Brother. Fantastic.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55You have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04- We feel honoured.- Ecstatic. - So you should.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:07 > 0:35:09for your charities, which is very exciting.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,500.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:17 > 0:35:22We'll put four things up on the board. Let's see today's selection.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31The Year 2008. Everything else seems a lot bigger.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35- Can you do any X Factor winners? - Yes, but let's go 2008, I reckon.
0:35:35 > 0:35:40- We'll go The Year 2008, please. - There we are, Richard.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Good luck. Three very different categories here,
0:35:42 > 0:35:44so take your answers from any of these, however you want to do it.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47We are looking for anybody who was nominated
0:35:47 > 0:35:51for a Best Actor or Best Actress Oscar in 2008
0:35:51 > 0:35:54or a Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor,
0:35:54 > 0:35:56so any of those acting categories.
0:35:56 > 0:35:57We're looking for any act
0:35:57 > 0:36:00who had one of the 50 best-selling albums of 2008.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04Or we are looking for any country which won a gold medal
0:36:04 > 0:36:07at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, apart from GB.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10So, any actor or actress Oscar nominees,
0:36:10 > 0:36:12any acts who had the 50 best-selling albums
0:36:12 > 0:36:15or any gold medal-winning countries at the 2008 Olympics.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19Best of luck, guys. I hope there's good categories in there for you.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Thanks very much indeed.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23You've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25All you need to win that jackpot
0:36:25 > 0:36:27is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29- Are you ready?- No.- Not at all.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Not ready at all. This is really hard.
0:36:31 > 0:36:36OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. Your time starts now.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39What's a good gold-winning, obscure...?
0:36:39 > 0:36:43OK, you think of that one, I'll think of... OK, Oscars.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46What was in 2008? Was it Schindler's List, something like that?
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- No, that's a lot older than that. - I don't think it IS that much older.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve,
0:36:51 > 0:36:53thirteen, fourteen, fifteen - seven years ago.
0:36:53 > 0:36:562008 - was that when they brought out the first Batman?
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Batman? That didn't win an Oscar.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01The, um... So, best-selling albums in 2008.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Who was big in 2008?
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Seven years ago, who were you listening to?
0:37:06 > 0:37:10- Um... Adele might have had...- Adele. - Amy Winehouse.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- The computer A Dell.- Adele.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17Um... OK, I reckon we go Amy Winehouse for...
0:37:17 > 0:37:20OK, Amy Winehouse. Amy Winehouse.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24Medals would be, what really random country?
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- Shooting - who's good at shooting? - Ten seconds left.
0:37:27 > 0:37:32Finland. Amy Winehouse, Finland and let's go for, actor would be...
0:37:32 > 0:37:33OK...
0:37:33 > 0:37:37- Daniel Day-Lewis for the actor, I don't know why.- OK.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39OK, that is your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41What are you going to give me?
0:37:41 > 0:37:44- So, for one of them, because he's won loads...- Daniel Day-Lewis.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- Daniel Day-Lewis is an actor. - Acts with the best-selling...
0:37:48 > 0:37:52Then we're going gold medals, we'll just pick two. Gold medals, come on.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56- Switzerland.- OK.- They could have. - Switzerland.- Switzerland.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00- And we'll go for someone like...Kenya.- Kenya.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03OK, Switzerland and Kenya are our gold medal winners.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- I think Kenya. - OK, shall we put Kenya last?
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- Yeah, let's put Kenya last. - Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:12 > 0:38:16- Daniel Day-Lewis. - Daniel Day-Lewis we'll put first.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Let's pop those up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27- Three good answers, I'd say, on the board.- Do you think so?- I think so.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29The question is, will any of them be pointless?
0:38:29 > 0:38:34If any of them IS pointless, you will win that jackpot for your charities.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36What charity are you playing for, Jamie?
0:38:36 > 0:38:38My charity is Rays of Sunshine,
0:38:38 > 0:38:41which is a charity which brings a bright light
0:38:41 > 0:38:43to really poorly kids aged from 3 to 18.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47- Alex?- Mine is Cancer Research UK. - Very good.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49APPLAUSE
0:38:49 > 0:38:53Fingers crossed, fingers crossed. As I say, three good answers there.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Let's hope one of them is pointless
0:38:55 > 0:38:57and you can take that jackpot home for those charities.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Your first answer was Daniel Day-Lewis.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03In this case, we were looking for 2008 Oscar nominees.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Remember, it has to be pointless for you to win.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Let's find out how many of our 100 people
0:39:08 > 0:39:10said Daniel Day-Lewis for £2,500.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16- It's right.- It's right! - Daniel Day-Lewis is right.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18This has to go all the way down to zero
0:39:18 > 0:39:20and you will leave here with that jackpot for your charities.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24Down it goes through the teens into single figures. Still going down.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28- 1!- No!- 1!- I can't believe it! - APPLAUSE
0:39:28 > 0:39:30- I can't believe it! - No!- Unbelievable!
0:39:32 > 0:39:35- One person got Daniel Day-Lewis. - I'll find that one person.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38- Who is that one person? - LAUGHTER
0:39:38 > 0:39:41- Was it Daniel Day-Lewis? - Daniel Day-Lewis himself!
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Oh, bad luck. Not a pointless answer,
0:39:43 > 0:39:46which means you only have two more shots at the jackpot.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49- That's so unfair. - Your next answer was Switzerland.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53We were looking for medal winners at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Let's see, for £2,500, how many people said Switzerland.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Is it pointless?
0:40:02 > 0:40:05- It's right.- It's right again!
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Daniel Day-Lewis took us all the way down to 1.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11Switzerland now taking us down through the twenties and the teens.
0:40:11 > 0:40:15- Come on!- Down it goes. Still going down.- Come on!
0:40:15 > 0:40:21- No!- What?!- 1.- What?! - This is rigged. I can't believe it.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23APPLAUSE
0:40:23 > 0:40:28Oh, no. Daniel Day-Lewis again with Switzerland!
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Everything is now riding on your third and final answer, Kenya.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32- No way.- This isn't fair. Can we do it again?
0:40:32 > 0:40:35- Who said Switzerland?- Well, YOU did!
0:40:35 > 0:40:37I know, but that was so random and pointless.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39LAUGHTER
0:40:39 > 0:40:43Kenya is your third and final answer. This has to be pointless, come on.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45To win the jackpot of £2,500, how many people said Kenya?
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Is it pointless?
0:40:49 > 0:40:53- It's right.- Come on!- Daniel Day-Lewis was right. That took us down to 1.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Switzerland was right. That took us down to 1 as well.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59- Kenya has to be pointless.- Come on!
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Into single figures. Still going down...
0:41:01 > 0:41:04- No!- No!- No!- Bad luck! - What?!- I can't believe it!
0:41:04 > 0:41:06APPLAUSE
0:41:06 > 0:41:10Listen... APPLAUSE
0:41:10 > 0:41:13OK, you didn't win the jackpot, but three excellent answers there,
0:41:13 > 0:41:17- considering how you felt when you started that minute.- Yeah.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19You managed to get three brilliant answers that took us
0:41:19 > 0:41:22right down to the bottom end of the column. I'm so sorry.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26That means you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500. I'm really sorry.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29However, as it is a celebrity special and everyone's playing for a charity,
0:41:29 > 0:41:32we're going to donate £500 to each celebrity pair
0:41:32 > 0:41:34for their respective charities. So, you get that
0:41:34 > 0:41:36and you've been brilliant right the way across the show,
0:41:36 > 0:41:38so can hold your heads up high
0:41:38 > 0:41:40and you get a Pointless trophy to take away.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42- Thank you.- So, it's all good.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44APPLAUSE
0:41:44 > 0:41:47- I can't believe it. - I can't believe that!
0:41:48 > 0:41:51The gold medal-winning countries had the pointless answers
0:41:51 > 0:41:54cos 53 countries won a gold medal at those Olympics
0:41:54 > 0:41:55and 30 of them were pointless
0:41:55 > 0:41:58and one of the countries that was pointless was Finland.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00- Oh, we said that.- We said Finland!
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Which you said and I was just waiting.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05- I was waiting for you to read it out and you didn't do it.- Oh, no!
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Let's look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10There'll be ones you know in all of these.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14We'll start with actors and actresses.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21Let's move on to the best-selling albums.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27N-Dubz, unbelievably, was a pointless answer.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Celine Dion, Chris Brown, Enrique Iglesias, Il Divo,
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Mark Ronson, Will Young - well done if you said any of those.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35And the gold medal-winning countries. As I say, there's loads.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37There's 30-odd countries here.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41You could have had Azerbaijan, Czech Republic, Denmark,
0:42:41 > 0:42:45North Korea, Norway, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, Uzbekistan
0:42:45 > 0:42:47and our good friends in the Netherlands.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49All of those were pointless answers.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51It's been a pleasure having you on the show
0:42:51 > 0:42:54and I'm so sorry. 1, 1 and 4 is terrific work in that final round.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Thanks very much. We have to say goodbye to you, Jamie and Alex.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59But brilliant having you on the show.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Great performance and thank you so much for playing.
