0:00:47 > 0:00:50and I also played George Harrison in Birth Of The Beatles,
0:00:50 > 0:00:52a while back now.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54APPLAUSE
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Couple number two.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Hello, my name's Nick Pickard and for the past 20 years,
0:00:59 > 0:01:02I've been playing Tony Hutchinson in TV's Hollyoaks.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06I'm Ali Bastian and I used to work alongside Nick on Hollyoaks.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08APPLAUSE
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Couple number three.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Hi, I'm Victoria Bush and I'm probably best known
0:01:14 > 0:01:17for playing Sonya Donnegan in Waterloo Road.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20And my name is Zaraah Abrahams
0:01:20 > 0:01:22and I played Michaela White in Waterloo Road.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25APPLAUSE
0:01:26 > 0:01:29And finally, couple number four.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Sharon Maughan and I did a coffee commercial,
0:01:32 > 0:01:34for those that might remember,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37and then I did Holby City with my lovely friend Tina.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40I'm Tina Hobley and I played Chrissie in Holby
0:01:40 > 0:01:41and Sharon played my mother.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Oh! Thanks!
0:01:44 > 0:01:46APPLAUSE
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51We will find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Like the governor of the Bank of England,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59at some point, he is certain to raise our interest rate,
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- it's my Pointless friend Richard. - Hiya. Evening, everybody.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05APPLAUSE
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- Good evening to you.- And to you. - This will be fun, won't it?- I know!
0:02:09 > 0:02:13I'm worried that podium one are... A real marriage of two halves there.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16We've got John, who has been on before and done very well before
0:02:16 > 0:02:18and next to him, we've got Joe,
0:02:18 > 0:02:22- who's been on before and did less well.- All right.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Tina's also been on before, but everyone else, we welcome you.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- I think podium two might be dark horses.- Really?- The Hollyoaks team.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Round One is a good one.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34As soon as you hear the question, everyone will panic,
0:02:34 > 0:02:36but actually it's one of those ones
0:02:36 > 0:02:39that I think we all know more answers to than we think at first.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40It's going to be interesting.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Some people at home will do unbelievably well on question one.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Thank you very much indeed.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48All of today's questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Our contestants are looking for those all-important pointless answers,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53ones that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00As today's show is a celebrity special - each celebrity is playing
0:03:00 > 0:03:05for a nominated charity - we start off with a jackpot of £2,500.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07APPLAUSE
0:03:07 > 0:03:10If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18All you have to remember is that the pair with the highest score
0:03:18 > 0:03:20at the end of each round will be eliminated
0:03:20 > 0:03:23and your job is to make sure you are not that pair.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Also, there is to be no conferring
0:03:25 > 0:03:27until we get to the head-to-head round.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Our first category this evening is...
0:03:32 > 0:03:34That's all right. Sitcoms.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Can you decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second
0:03:38 > 0:03:40and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Let's find out what the question is.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Only Fools And Horses characters. Richard.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59We are looking for the name of any character
0:03:59 > 0:04:02who's appeared in more than one episode of Only Fools And Horses,
0:04:02 > 0:04:06all the way through from 1981 to 2003. Any named character
0:04:06 > 0:04:09who's been in more than one episode of Only Fools And Horses.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12We won't accept recurring extras, like "market trader two"
0:04:12 > 0:04:15and things like that, but any named character in that series.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- Best of luck.- There we are. Thank you. Now, Joe, welcome back.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Thank you vey much. - Made it to Round Two last time.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Yeah, Round Two, but I blame my mum for that. She dragged me down.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Yeah, Joe's mum was his partner on this, just to clear that one up.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34- Yeah, she was rubbish!- Yeah. And you were brilliant, Joe.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Thank you very much! I don't think I was very much better than her
0:04:37 > 0:04:41but John's been to the head-to-head before, so I'm hoping,
0:04:41 > 0:04:45with his general knowledge, and I've got some obscure knowledge...
0:04:45 > 0:04:47How good's your Only Fools And Horses knowledge?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49It's all right. I know all the main characters,
0:04:49 > 0:04:51it's just trying to find an obscure one.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- They only have to be in more than one episode.- Yeah.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Joe, what are you up to at the moment?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59This year, I'm going to be doing some more acting.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- It's about time!- Oh, thank you very much.- It's about time.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05We've loved having you on here, but you've done various -
0:05:05 > 0:05:08what do you call them? - factual, entertainment shows.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Yeah, I've done more presenting, documentary stuff
0:05:11 > 0:05:14and spin-off shows. I want to continue doing that but this year,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- I want to do some more acting. - So what are you going to do?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20There's a couple of things in the pipeline, nothing at the moment.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21No-one's phoned me yet.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24It's annoying they've cancelled Downton Abbey, isn't it?
0:05:24 > 0:05:28I'd be perfect for that, wouldn't I? Upstairs. Yeah, definitely.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31OK, Joe, any characters from Only Fools And Horses.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34The geezer behind the pub, I forgot his name -
0:05:34 > 0:05:36he would have been a good one. Oh!
0:05:36 > 0:05:39LAUGHTER
0:05:39 > 0:05:41I know all the other ones are going to score highly.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Who's the geezer who works behind the caff?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46All right, it's just going to have to be a high one really.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- I don't know. I'll go with Boycie. - OK, Boycie, says Joe.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said that.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- It's right.- That's all right. Go on!
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- That's going down. 48.- Not bad. - It's under 50.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03That's better than I thought, yeah.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- 48 for Boycie.- It is very tough on that first podium
0:06:08 > 0:06:09when you're the first one to go as well.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11I would say that's damage limitation.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14I imagine there'll be some other big scorers, as this round goes on.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Played by John Challis, Boycie.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22- Wonderful. Thank you. Now, Ali.- Yes. - Ali, welcome.- Thank you.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Now, Hollyoaks you did with Nick. How long were you in Hollyoaks for?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- About six years. - Then you went to The Bill.- Yeah.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31And you've been in the West End since then, haven't you?
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- You've been in Chicago. - Yeah, I played Roxie in Chicago,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38on a UK tour. I was in town doing Burn The Floor,
0:06:38 > 0:06:40which is a Latin and ballroom dance show.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45- Very good. Were you an avid watcher of Only Fools And Horses, Ali?- Yes.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- Do you think, enough to remember characters' names?- I hope so.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51I'm going to go with Cassandra.
0:06:51 > 0:06:57- She played my mum when I was little in a TV show.- Lovely.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59OK, so, Cassandra, says Ali.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Let's see if it's right and how many people said Cassandra.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07It is right. 48 is our only score so far and you pass it.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- 42.- Oh.- There we are, Joe.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12APPLAUSE You're in good company
0:07:12 > 0:07:15in the 40s. 42.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Well played, Ali. Played by Gwyneth Strong, of course.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Thank you very much indeed. Victoria.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- Hello.- Victoria, welcome to the show. Lovely to have you.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- You were in Waterloo Road up till the end.- Oh, yeah.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Cos it finished in March, 2015, didn't it?- Yeah, it did.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- That must have been sad. - It was quite sad.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- How close to the last scene were you?- Oh, I was there on the last day.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- HE GULPS - Yeah, I know. I had tears.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41I left before I could... before anyone could see me
0:07:41 > 0:07:43cos I knew I would break down.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46And I'd had quite a lot of crying scenes leading up to...
0:07:46 > 0:07:47So you were in the mood.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51No, cos I didn't want people to think I found it really easy to cry,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54so I needed to be seen to go away quickly before everyone was like,
0:07:54 > 0:07:58"Oh, she can do that really easy", so I slipped away.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Only Fools And Horses - is this a gift of a round to you?
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- Well, I'm going to go for a bit of a curveball.- Good.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- I'm going to go for Damien Trotter. - Damien Trotter.- Very good.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Look, there's general approbation
0:08:11 > 0:08:15and you get that "bee" noise from the audience, when they go, "Mmm."
0:08:15 > 0:08:18It's the sign of a good answer or a terrible answer.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22I'm just thinking that it's so close to the end
0:08:22 > 0:08:25that people might have forgotten about it.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Damien Trotter. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32It's right. 48's our high score, 42's our low.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34You pass the high, you pass the low.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- 31. Very well done indeed.- Whoo!
0:08:36 > 0:08:38APPLAUSE
0:08:40 > 0:08:43That's a very good answer, Victoria. Well played.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45He's played by five different actors, Damien.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- It's not the sort of thing that would happen in a soap.- No.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50LAUGHTER
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- There's an older Damien as well - Douglas Hodge plays him.- Ah.- Yeah.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- Didn't know that. Thank you. - Pleasure.- Now, Tina. Tina, welcome.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- Xander.- How many years were you in Holby?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05I was in for 12 years. 12 glorious years.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- Yeah, and then you left, 18 months ago or something like that?- Yes.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11And you're now touring. You're doing Dead Simple.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- I'm doing a Peter James play, which I'm absolutely loving.- Yeah.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17I haven't been in a play for a very long time, so I'm loving that.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- And I'm doing radio.- Of course, you've got your Smooth show.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22On a Sunday, 10 till 2.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Your family must have thought they were going to see you again
0:09:25 > 0:09:27and they're not. As soon as you finished Holby, you were back off.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- No, I'm around.- You're around.- Yeah. - What are you going to go for, Tina,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- of our Only Fools And Horses characters?- Well, I grew up...
0:09:34 > 0:09:36My whole family loved this show.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39It was a real Christmas, fall asleep around the TV watching this.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43I'm going to go for Boycie's wife, Marlene.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Marlene, says Tina. Marlene.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said Marlene.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57It's right. 48 our high score, 31 our low. You pass 48.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- 36.- Oh! Very good! - APPLAUSE
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Nice grouping.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- 36 for Marlene.- Well played, Tina.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Four very good answers in that round.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08It's going to be interesting on the way back.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Picking off some of the mid-level characters here.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Played by Sue Holderness. She's only in 20 episodes, Marlene.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17It seems like she's such a presence throughout, but only in 20 episodes.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Let's look at those scores. Very close.
0:10:21 > 0:10:2431, Victoria, the best score of the pass. Well done.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Then up to 36, where we find Tina and Sharon.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Then up to 42, Ali and Nick
0:10:29 > 0:10:31and 48, Joe and John. Very close.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Nice little family grouping there, so anything could happen.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36And, as Richard says, gets quite interesting,
0:10:36 > 0:10:39now that some of the easier shots have been taken.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41What's going to happen in the next pass? Best of luck.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Sharon, a very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Lovely to have you here.- Thank you.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- When did you leave Holby? - Quite soon after I started.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58No, it wasn't. I did about four and a half years.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- I left in 2007, a long time ago. - Four and a half years.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04How many episodes do you get done in four and a half years?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- I have no idea. - Lots, I expect.- Lots.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08It's hard work, real graft. Loved every minute of it.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10When you've been in a medical drama like that...
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Yeah, I can't save anybody's life anywhere!
0:11:13 > 0:11:15No, but do you somehow, nonetheless, feel
0:11:15 > 0:11:19that you have a slightly heightened sense of medical procedure?
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- Absolutely not!- Really? So, if somebody suddenly ran in and said,
0:11:23 > 0:11:26"Is there a doctor here?" and no-one put their hand up,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28would you be waiting for them to say,
0:11:28 > 0:11:31"Has anyone played some sort of medical role here?"
0:11:31 > 0:11:34I wouldn't be waiting, but if they said that, I'd say, "Yes",
0:11:34 > 0:11:36but it would make no difference
0:11:36 > 0:11:38to me helping them in any way at all.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43- You'd know how to put...- Drip. - A drip in, exactly. Do a suture.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45I'd call Tina and ask her cos she remembers.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47She was in it a lot longer than me.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52Sharon, we want any named character from Only Fools And Horses.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54My knowledge is limited,
0:11:54 > 0:11:59so I have to go for...um...Rodney.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Ooh... Sorry, Tina.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06Rodney, OK. Good. Here is your red line. It's quite low.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Let's see if you get below that with Rodney.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11How many of our 100 people said Rodney?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15It's right. Whoa, 85.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17APPLAUSE
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Do you know what though? The round is not yet over.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23That takes your total up to 121. You could very easily be through
0:12:23 > 0:12:25to the next round on that.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- It's going to get harder as it gets down here, isn't it, Joe?- Yeah.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32It's a correct answer - that's all we needed you to do.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34If anyone else gets 100, you are safely through,
0:12:34 > 0:12:36so much better than getting a wrong answer,
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- getting 85.- Indeed. There we are. Now, Zaraah, welcome.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- Thank you.- Welcome to Pointless.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45How old were you when you started in Corrie?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Er, very young, cos I remember plucking my eyebrows far too much.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53I think I was 19 when I started Coronation Street.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- Corrie and then to Waterloo Road. - Then to Waterloo Road, yeah.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58And now, you're in the States. You're in The Knick.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- Yeah.- Where do you film that? - New York.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- That's exciting!- Yeah, it's amazing.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07The cast are amazing, the crew are amazing
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- and New York is just the icing on the cake, so...- And doable.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14It's not that far, is it? LA is a good deal further away.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- Yeah, it's only six and a half hours, so...- OK, you're on 31.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21If you can get 89 or less,
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- you're through to the next round. - OK.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27I'm going to go for...Mickey.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- Mickey.- Yeah.- OK.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Here is your red line.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33If you can get below this with Mickey,
0:13:33 > 0:13:37you're through to the next round. How many people said Mickey?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41It's right and you're through.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46- 12.- Whoo!
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Best score of the round so far. APPLAUSE
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Very well done indeed, Zaraah. Takes your total up to 43.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Well played, Zaraah. That was going to be MY answer, as well.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Mickey Pearce, played by Patrick Murray.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Always had the little pork pie hat.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Yeah, on his head, yeah.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- Thanks very much indeed. Now, Nick, welcome.- Hello.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09Not just IN Hollyoaks but the father of the show, in a manner of speaking.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- Yeah. - You're the longest-serving character.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13I've been there since the first episode.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- The sparks all call me Ken Barlow. - LAUGHTER
0:14:16 > 0:14:18What have been the big changes since then?
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- There's been loads... - Colour telly.- Yeah, basically.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25I've just been really happy there, though, for 20 years.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I went up there when I was 19
0:14:27 > 0:14:30and fell in love with the place and the people,
0:14:30 > 0:14:32cos we shoot it up in Liverpool,
0:14:32 > 0:14:33and I'm still there, still plodding on.
0:14:33 > 0:14:38OK, you're on 42. If you can score 78 or less, you're into Round Two.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Tina had mine. I don't know whether to play it safe
0:14:41 > 0:14:45or go for one I'm not sure of, but I think I'll play it safe.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46I'll try Raquel.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- Yeah.- Raquel, says Nick. Here's your red line.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Get below that with Raquel, you're in Round Two.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- Well done!- Ooh!- Come on! - Very good indeed.
0:14:59 > 0:15:0137.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04APPLAUSE
0:15:04 > 0:15:0637 takes your total up to 79.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Very well played, Nick. Played by Tessa Peake-Jones.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11I said at the start, it's one of those ones when you think,
0:15:11 > 0:15:14"I can't name that many", and they keep coming to mind.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17It's such a famous show, such brilliantly drawn characters.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Thank you, Richard.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Now, John, the many things you've achieved over the years.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23You have achieved many.
0:15:23 > 0:15:29You, I discover, were 2001 Rear of the Year.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- I've no idea how I got it.- What do you do to get Rear of the Year?
0:15:32 > 0:15:36I don't know. It must have been Nick Cotton's tight black jeans.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37You turn up and pick up the award?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- Yeah, and I got some slimming aid as well.- Really?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43I've still got the award. It was a tray, I believe.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45And a big do in a swanky hotel in Knightsbridge.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- And you're writing your autobiography, John.- Yes.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50It's a good therapy,
0:15:50 > 0:15:53but it turned out to be... That's why I did it in the first place,
0:15:53 > 0:15:54and then I just kept it going.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- That's good. Have you come up with a good name yet?- There are two, yeah.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02- Two working titles. One is In The Nick Of Time.- Very nice.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04That's a good one!
0:16:04 > 0:16:06And one's a line which is in one of the stories -
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Wild Days And Wicked Nights.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10If you saw that at the airport, would you go for it?
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Definitely.- Wild Days And Wicked Nights?- Yeah, would you have a look?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I'm almost certain I've read that before, I'm sure.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- Good thinking. - So, anyway, you're on 48.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22The high-scorers on the far podium there, Tina and Sharon, on 121,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24so 72 or less gets you through.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Yes, I've...
0:16:27 > 0:16:30I'm going to go for Denzil.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- Denzil, says John. Denzil. Ooh, see, there the buzz.- Go on, John!
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Like so many bees in some lavender. There we are. There is your red line.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Let's see if you can get below that. How many people said Denzil?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- It's right and you've done it.- Oh.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- Wow!- Look at that! 16!
0:16:50 > 0:16:52APPLAUSE
0:16:52 > 0:16:55The second lowest score of the round. Very well done. 64 is your total.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- Good work.- Great answer, John. Very well played.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Played by Paul Barber. I'll go through some of the low scorers
0:17:02 > 0:17:04before we look at the pointless answers
0:17:04 > 0:17:07cos I know lots of people will have picked different people.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09The guy who works behind the bar is Mike.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- I knew it was Mike! - Would have scored you 18 points.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- What about the old man in the caff? - Is Sid.- Oh, I thought it was Alfie.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- LAUGHTER - Sid would have scored you 2 points.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Roy Slater, lots of people might have said,
0:17:20 > 0:17:24played by Jim Broadbent, the cop. He would have scored you 4 points.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26- What about Grandad? - Grandad would have scored you 49.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30Uncle Albert would have scored you 50, so 1 point different there.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Let's look through the pointless answers. There's a few of them.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35You'd have done well to get any of these though.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Joyce and Julie are both barmaids in the Nag's Head.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Karen and Maureen, both barmaids as well.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Nula Conwell played Maureen, later went on to star in The Bill.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Nerys, another barmaid.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Detective Sergeant Terence Hoskins and Boycie and Marlene's son Tyler.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Well done if you said that.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Thanks very much indeed.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02So, at the end of our first round, the pair heading home,
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- I'm so sorry, Sharon and Tina. - Don't be, that's fine.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- Tough round. Tough round if you didn't know.- So tough.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Might you have got any of the other characters, though?
0:18:10 > 0:18:11Did some of those sound familiar?
0:18:11 > 0:18:14I never really watched the show but they sounded familiar.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- Sharon and Tina, lovely to have you here.- Thank you.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Thanks for playing. See you again soon.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Sharon and Tina. APPLAUSE
0:18:22 > 0:18:25For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28APPLAUSE
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Well, here we are in Round Two
0:18:32 > 0:18:34and you'll have noticed that one of our pairs has left
0:18:34 > 0:18:37which means we're down to three and at the end of this round,
0:18:37 > 0:18:40we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Best of luck. Our category for Round Two is...
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- Oh...- Hooray!- UK Geography.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second
0:18:51 > 0:18:54and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00And the question concerns...
0:19:05 > 0:19:07UK place names that begin with the same letters, Richard.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11On each board, we'll show you six trios of place names from the UK.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14All of the trios start with the same series of letters
0:19:14 > 0:19:16but we've missed those letters out.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19All you have to do is fill in the gaps, please. Best of luck.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22There will be six on each board, 12 in all to have a go at home.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- Best of luck.- Thanks, Richard.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26So, we are looking for the missing letters
0:19:26 > 0:19:29that are shared by these groups of places.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Here's our first board. This is fun. I like this.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53- That's tough, isn't it? - It's tough to read out!
0:19:53 > 0:19:56I'm going to read those one last time.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13John.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14Hmm.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17I quite like my geography and I've toured a lot,
0:20:17 > 0:20:19so I do know most of them.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24It's just a matter of thinking hard about which ones they won't know.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29I'm going to go for...the bottom one.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Ashford, Ashton-Under-Lyne, Ashby-de-la-Zouch.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36OK, so "Ash" is what John is saying.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said "Ash".
0:20:41 > 0:20:43It's right.
0:20:44 > 0:20:4553.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47APPLAUSE
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- Not bad. 53.- Yeah, good answer.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Ashby-de-la-Zouch is one of the best-named towns in Britain,
0:20:55 > 0:20:59- isn't it?- Just fabulous. - De-la-Zouch.- De-la-Zouch.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03- Thank you, Richard. Ali.- Yes. - This is fun!- It is.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- I've got one or two.- Yes.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10But I think they may be the ones that everybody else has got,
0:21:10 > 0:21:13unfortunately. Shall I give it a whirl?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15ALI SIGHS
0:21:15 > 0:21:19I think I'm going to have to go for...
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Yes?
0:21:21 > 0:21:26- Harrogate, Hartlepool and Harpenden. - Where hurricanes hardly ever happen.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30OK, let's see if you're right with "Har".
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Let's see if that's right and how many people said those things.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39It's right.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41- Well...69.- Oh, well...
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- It was right.- It was right. - It was good.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- Nothing wrong with that. - A very good score.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Yeah, Harrogate was actually voted the happiest place
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- to live in the UK in 2013 and 2014. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- Victoria, this board is all yours. - Yeah...
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I think it's easier than it originally looks.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03It's the middle two that are getting me cos I know that I know them
0:22:03 > 0:22:07but I'm trying to get the information from the back there
0:22:07 > 0:22:09and it's not happening.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14So, I'm going to have to go for Colchester, Coleraine, Colwyn Bay.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Oh, that's good. That's a good one.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Let's see how many people said "Col" for that.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Ooh, 74.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25- Yeah. - APPLAUSE
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Ignore ME! I thought that was going a long way down.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30I'm so sorry, Victoria.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31Good answer, though, 74.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Victoria's right. It's the two in the middle
0:22:34 > 0:22:37that are the best scorers on that board. The one at the top -
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Canterbury, Canvey Island and Canary Wharf
0:22:40 > 0:22:42would have scored you 90 points.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45The next one - "gate" might be the clue in this one.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- It's a seaside town. - That one I have got. "Rams."
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Ramsey, Ramsbottom and Ramsgate. Would have scored 34.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- And the next one down. There's two villages there.- "Oak".- It's not.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59- Where do YOU live?- Oh, it's Oxshott. Oh, I see! For heaven's sake!
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- You've got Oxshott, Oxford and Oxenholme.- Ah!
0:23:02 > 0:23:05And that would have scored 16 points. Well done if you said that.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- Thank you vey much.- Pleasure. - We're halfway through the round.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Let's look at the scores. 53, where we find John and Joe -
0:23:11 > 0:23:13very much in pole position at this point.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Then up to 69 where we find Ali and Nick.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Then up to 74, where we find Victoria and Zaraah.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21But you're all close. Anything can happen in the next round.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Let's hope there's something on the next board you like, Zaraah.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28- You'll be the first person to answer, so you can pick at will. - Right.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:35 > 0:23:38OK, let's put six more places with bits missing on the board
0:23:38 > 0:23:40and here they are.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03I'll read those all again.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23- Phwoa, there we go! Zaraah.- Yes. - You want to score as low as possible
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- because you're the high-scorers. - Right.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29So, the only one I really recognise,
0:24:29 > 0:24:35which might be half the world...is "Pres".
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- The bottom one.- OK.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Prestwich, Prestonpans, Prestatyn.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44No red line. Let's see how many people said Prestonpans etc.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48It's right.
0:24:50 > 0:24:5240.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54APPLAUSE
0:24:54 > 0:24:56That's our lowest score of the round so far,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59so let's hope it's enough to keep you in. 114 is your total.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Well played, Zaraah. It's a good answer.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- Prestonpans is a great name for a town.- Mmm.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- It's just to the east of Edinburgh. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Now, Nick, you have a target, which is 44 or less.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Right, I'm going to go with the second one
0:25:12 > 0:25:15cos it's not too far from where I live, actually.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16W-A-R.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19"War". Warwick, Warminster and Warrington.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21That looks like a good answer.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24There's your red line. Get below that and you are through.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29It's right.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- Ooh. 55.- Oh!
0:25:31 > 0:25:33APPLAUSE
0:25:33 > 0:25:3755 takes your total up to 124. Good news on podium three there.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40They all look so complicated when you first see them,
0:25:40 > 0:25:43then when you work them out, it's so satisfying. But 55 is a big score.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Warwick Castle was built
0:25:45 > 0:25:48under the orders of YOUR ancestor.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- Indeed.- William the Conqueror. - Indeed.
0:25:50 > 0:25:55- Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Joe.- Yes.- 70 or less.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- That's what we need from you. - Well, I only know one of them.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01I've been asking John to give me something for ages
0:26:01 > 0:26:05and he's become like the teacher. He won't give me nothing now.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- He's scared of you, Alexandra. - Yeah, well.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- Alexan-DER.- I know the top one. - LAUGHTER
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- I don't know. It kind of suits you.- Yeah...
0:26:15 > 0:26:17I know the top one, so we'll go for "New".
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- OK, Newmarket, Newquay, Newcastle Upon Tyne.- Yeah.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23There's your red line. You have to get below that with "New".
0:26:23 > 0:26:25It's quite high but let's see
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- how many of our 100 people said "New".- Come on!
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- Oh!- What?- 94!- What?!
0:26:32 > 0:26:36- It didn't come down! - I know. Well, 94.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39APPLAUSE Oh, Joe.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41147 is your total.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45I think it's the "Castle Upon Tyne" bit that's just... It's... Yeah.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49- Give that to 100 people and that's sort of a giveaway, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Yeah, 94 is a very big score, bigger than anything on the first board.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Do you know the third one down, Xander?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Um, Tenterden, so Tenbury Wells?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Yeah, so Tenby in Wales, Tenterden in Kent and Tenbury Wells.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Would have scored 28.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04That's the best answer on this board, actually.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- The next one down?- Portishead. - Portmeirion, Porthmadog.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12- Would have scored 65. - And Barney. Barnard Castle.- "Barn".
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Barnard Castle, Barnsley, Barnstaple. 72 for that.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- Some big scorers there.- There we are. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22So, at the end of our second round, I'm sorry...
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Joe, you were THAT close to making it through to the head-to-head.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29Yeah. I think this is the same spot I went out last time.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31I thought you were over there.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- No, no, the same round as I went out last time.- Oh, I see what you mean.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- Yeah.- You're right, it was Round Two.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41It was my mum's fault the first time. It's John's fault today.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- Listen, it's been lovely having you back.- Thanks.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48- Joe and John, please come back again. Great to see you.- Thank you.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50- APPLAUSE - Sorry, John.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51- That's all right.- Sorry, mate.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54For Zaraah and Victoria, Ali and Nick, it's time for our head-to-head.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57APPLAUSE
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Congratulations, Zaraah and Victoria, Ali and Nick.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02You're now one step closer to the final
0:28:02 > 0:28:07and a chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,500.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:28:11 > 0:28:14This is the point where we decide who goes through to the final
0:28:14 > 0:28:17and plays for that jackpot and we do that by making you go head-to-head.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20The difference is you can confer from here on in, you play as a team,
0:28:20 > 0:28:22which takes some of the pressure off.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25The first player to win two questions goes through the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play it.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29APPLAUSE
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:28:39 > 0:28:41LAUGHTER Famous Feet - that old chestnut!
0:28:41 > 0:28:44We're going to show you five clues to people or characters
0:28:44 > 0:28:45who are famous for their feet.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48You just need to name the most obscure, please.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52Let's reveal our five pairs of feet, our ten feet, and here they are.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17I'll read those one last time.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37Zaraah and Victoria, you are our low-scorers, so you will go first.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39We kind of knew...
0:29:39 > 0:29:41We know three for sure,
0:29:41 > 0:29:46- so we're going to go with the one that we think's the lowest.- Yeah.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Hermes, the Greek messenger god often pictured with...
0:29:51 > 0:29:53- TOGETHER:- Wing-ed sandals.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57- Wing-ed sandals.- Wing-ed sandals, no less.- Hermes, you're going to say.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Very good. Ali and Nick, the board's all yours.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02- Talk us through it. - We don't know three.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06We only know one, so we'll have to go with that one.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- We're going to go with Zola Budd for number two.- Zola Budd.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13So we have Hermes and Zola Budd. Zaraah and Victoria said Hermes.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 said it.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20It is right.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Look at that! 21!
0:30:26 > 0:30:28APPLAUSE
0:30:29 > 0:30:3321, with the wing-ed sandals. Ali and Nick have gone for Zola Budd.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Let's see if that's right
0:30:35 > 0:30:37for the athlete who set a world record in 1985.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39How many people said Zola Budd?
0:30:44 > 0:30:46- Is it going to...?- Oh!- Oh, 47.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48APPLAUSE
0:30:48 > 0:30:52Good answer, high score. Well done, Zaraah and Victoria.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- After one question, you're up 1-0. - That's a very good answer.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59- I'm wearing a pair of wing-ed sandals at the moment.- So you are.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03There's actually one answer up there that would have beaten that.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05It's not the top answer. That's Shirley Bassey
0:31:05 > 0:31:08and would have scored you 25.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11It's not the middle one. That's the biggest answer on the board.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14- Sandie Shaw.- Sandie Shaw, 57.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16- The bottom one is...?- Theresa May.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20Theresa May and that would have scored you 19 points.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Someone at a Tory fundraiser paid £17,500
0:31:23 > 0:31:27- to go shoe shopping with Theresa May.- Wow!- Yeah, I know!- Wow!
0:31:27 > 0:31:30You'd want a pair of wing-ed sandals by the end of that, wouldn't you,
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- if you paid that money?- Yeah. LAUGHTER
0:31:33 > 0:31:35Thanks very much. Here comes your second question.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Ali and Nick get to answer it first but you have to win it
0:31:38 > 0:31:40to stay in the game, so best of luck. It concerns...
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Popular pub names, Richard.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47We're going to show you some pairs of pictures
0:31:47 > 0:31:50and together they make up popular pub names from the UK.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Can you guess the most obscure of these?
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Let's reveal our clues to popular pub names and here they come.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29There we are. OK, take a moment and confer.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31- Ali and Nick.- Yeah.
0:32:31 > 0:32:36- King's...- Hands? That's not it. - King's Head?- That's not it.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- Are we going to go Fox and Hounds? - I guess so.- Yeah?
0:32:41 > 0:32:44It might be goodnight for us.
0:32:47 > 0:32:52- We'll go with D, Fox and Hounds. - OK, Fox and Hounds, say Ali and Nick.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Fox and Hounds. OK, Zaraah and Victoria,
0:32:55 > 0:32:58do you fancy talking us through the rest of that board?
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Obviously A is King's Arms.
0:33:01 > 0:33:06- C...- Is that a football manager or a politician?
0:33:06 > 0:33:09The one with the microphone and the dark glasses?
0:33:09 > 0:33:13- No, not him!- No! - LAUGHTER
0:33:13 > 0:33:17- No, up the top there. Yeah, the Beauty and the Beast?- Yeah!
0:33:17 > 0:33:19LAUGHTER
0:33:19 > 0:33:24- I don't know! The Prince of Wales. - Yeah.- And the White Horse.
0:33:24 > 0:33:30The White Horse. I think B could be, like, somebody Day. Holly Day pub?
0:33:30 > 0:33:35- Holiday Pub?- Holiday Inn? - Yeah, Holiday Inn. No.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39- No, we're going to go for the Prince of Wales.- Yeah. Ooh, scared!
0:33:39 > 0:33:41OK, the Prince of Wales.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43So, we have the Fox and Hounds and the Prince of Wales.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47Ali and Nick said the Fox and Hounds. Let's see if that's right for D.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Hope so!
0:33:52 > 0:33:53- Oh!- 76.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56APPLAUSE
0:33:56 > 0:33:5876 for the Fox and Hounds.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02- Zaraah and Victoria have gone for the Prince of Wales.- No!
0:34:02 > 0:34:04The Prince of Wales for C. Let's see if that's right...
0:34:04 > 0:34:07I'm so scared. I can't bear this noise.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10..and how many of our 100 people said the Prince of Wales.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14It's right
0:34:14 > 0:34:17- and you've done it!- Oh! - Very well done indeed.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20You've done it by quite a margin. Look at that. 19.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22APPLAUSE
0:34:22 > 0:34:2519, which means, Zaraah and Victoria, after only two questions,
0:34:25 > 0:34:28you are through to the final, 2-0.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Again, you picked the second best answer on the board,
0:34:30 > 0:34:32so very impressive.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Good work from Waterloo Road over Hollyoaks, I'm afraid. 2-0.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38A, you are right, is the King's Arms.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42I didn't get that, isn't that terrible? 55 for that.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- I was thinking King's Hand? - I was thinking King's Head.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49Yeah, as soon as it wasn't the King's Head, I got so confused.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52We'll leave B for a moment. E is the White Horse.
0:34:55 > 0:34:5762. And B...
0:34:57 > 0:34:59You know who the first one is - that's Holly Willoughby -
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- but who's the second one?- Jeb Bush. - That is Jeb Bush.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04You're going to hear a lot more about HIM.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08The Holly Bush. 17 points, so the best answer on the board.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Now, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head,
0:35:11 > 0:35:13I'm sorry to say, it's Ali and Nick.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17- It's been lovely having you on the show.- Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21But they were just too good, is the honest truth. But thank you so much.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24- Ali and Nick, wonderful contestants. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27APPLAUSE
0:35:27 > 0:35:30For Zaraah and Victoria, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Congratulations, Zaraah and Victoria.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38You fought off all the competition valiantly
0:35:38 > 0:35:41and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43- Oh!- Whoo-hoo!- Oh, yay!- Yay!
0:35:49 > 0:35:51You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,500.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56There it is.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:59 > 0:36:03Well, it's been a... It's been a Waterloo Road rout.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06You've just seen everyone off with consummate ease.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10Each round, the lowest-scoring pair and then 2-0 in the head-to-head.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12You get to choose your category...
0:36:12 > 0:36:15I say "choose" - we put four impossible things up on the board
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- and you have to pick one of them! - Yes.- That's how it works.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Let's see what today's selection looks like.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22I hope there's some thing up there you like the look of.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33"Flower" Films is going to be films with "Flower" in the titles of them.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36- Reckon?- Uh-huh. Sporting Dames?
0:36:36 > 0:36:39I don't know anything about ladies in sport, sorry.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42How old was I in 2008? Was I old enough to remember stuff? Yeah.
0:36:42 > 0:36:47- Modern US Fiction - I'm not really a reader, terribly.- OK, so no.- No.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51- So "Flower" Films?- "Flower" Films. - Yeah, "Flower" Films.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53"Flower Films. OK, here we go.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56I thought you were going to go for The Year 2008 there,
0:36:56 > 0:36:58with the popular culture and all that.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00We're going to give you three different questions.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02We're looking for anybody, according to IMDb,
0:37:02 > 0:37:06- who is credited as appearing in any of the following films.- OK.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08The 2001 film Iris,
0:37:08 > 0:37:11the 1947 classic Black Narcissus...
0:37:13 > 0:37:16..or the 1996 film The Name Of The Rose.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19So, any of the cast of Iris, any of the cast of Black Narcissus
0:37:19 > 0:37:22and any of the cast of The Name Of The Rose.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24So, anyone, according to IMDb,
0:37:24 > 0:37:27who's credited with appearing in any of those three films. Best of luck.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31As always, you have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:31 > 0:37:33and all you need to win that jackpot for your charities
0:37:33 > 0:37:38- is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready? - Yeah.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. Your time starts now.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43So Iris was...
0:37:43 > 0:37:48It's about Iris Murdoch, so it's Judi Dench played her.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Oh, OK, so that's going to be so popular.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Loads of people are going to know that.
0:37:53 > 0:37:58I want to say Kate Winslet's in it as well, but I'm not terribly sure.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Black Narcissus...
0:38:00 > 0:38:04I think it's got, um, Bette Davis in it.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06- Um...- I'm sorry, I can't help.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08But I don't know if that's The Killing of Sister George,
0:38:08 > 0:38:12so I'm a little bit... I've chosen the wrong category, put it that way.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16- But The Name Of The Rose I don't even know.- I don't know.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19I was really hoping that it was going to be something else.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22- Um...- Shall we just go for cast of Iris?- I guess we'll go for...
0:38:22 > 0:38:28- Yeah, we'll go for Judi Dench, Kate Winslet and Bette Davis.- OK.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32- Yeah, I think that's going to be our...- Ten seconds left.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Do you want to use those?
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Yeah, there's no point trying to pull anything else out cos...
0:38:38 > 0:38:40- We could just make up a name like Maria.- Yeah.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Well, you've got three answers there. Your time is now up.
0:38:43 > 0:38:48- Let's just go over them again. - Uh-huh.- We've got Judi Dench?
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- Yes.- Bette Davis.- Yes.- And...?
0:38:51 > 0:38:53- Kate Winslet.- Kate Winslet.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:56 > 0:38:58- Bette Davis?- Bette Davis goes last.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02- Least likely to be pointless? BOTH:- Judi Dench.- Judi Dench.
0:39:02 > 0:39:03Kate Winslet goes in the middle.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Let's pop those answers up on the board in that order.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Very best of luck. Three good answers up on the board there.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15One of those could be pointless and, if it is,
0:39:15 > 0:39:18it will win that jackpot for your charities.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20What charities are you playing for? Zaraah first.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24- I'm playing for Cancer Research. - Very good. Victoria?
0:39:24 > 0:39:26- MacMillan Cancer Support.- Excellent.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29APPLAUSE
0:39:30 > 0:39:32Two wonderful charities.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36Let's hope we can make them a little bit richer with one of your answers.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Your first answer was Judi Dench.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40In this case, we were looking for the cast of Iris.
0:39:40 > 0:39:45It has to be right, then pointless. If it's both, it will win you £2,500.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47How many people said Judi Dench?
0:39:50 > 0:39:51It's right.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54All it has to do is go down to zero now
0:39:54 > 0:39:57and you can leave with a check for £2,500 for your charities.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Down it goes, through the teens.
0:40:00 > 0:40:0217. APPLAUSE
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Oh, wow!
0:40:04 > 0:40:10- 17. Not a bad score.- No.- Sadly, not a pointless answer.- No.- No.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12You've only got two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16Your next answer was Kate Winslet, again from the cast of Iris.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Let's see how many people said Kate Winslet.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21For £2,500, is it pointless?
0:40:25 > 0:40:29Well, it's right. Judi Dench took us all the way down to 17.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33Kate Winslet takes us down through the 30s and the 20s.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Passes 17. Down it goes, single figures.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38Oh, 8. APPLAUSE
0:40:41 > 0:40:448 for Kate Winslet. This is going in the right direction.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47We just have to hope your third and final answer is correct.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50You had a hunch. Somewhere at the back of your mind,
0:40:50 > 0:40:53you thought Bette Davis might have been in Black Narcissus.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Let's find out if it's right, let's find out if it's pointless.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58For £2,500, how many people said Bette Davis?
0:41:01 > 0:41:03- Ooh, no!- No.- I'm sorry.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09You didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:09 > 0:41:12so you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14However, as this is a celebrity special,
0:41:14 > 0:41:17and each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity,
0:41:17 > 0:41:20we're going to donate £500 to each celebrity pair
0:41:20 > 0:41:23- for their respective charities. - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26It's a great pleasure. APPLAUSE
0:41:27 > 0:41:31And, over and above that, you have been fantastic on this show.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34- Right across the show, you've played so well.- Thank you very much.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Really good answers and you get to take a Pointless trophy home.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39- Yay!- Yay! - So it hasn't all been in vain.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41You have played terrifically throughout.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44It was a very tough last category, sorry about that.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Let's look at the pointless answers in the different ones.
