APPLAUSE

0:00:120:00:15

Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.

0:00:210:00:24

A warm welcome to this special soap edition of Pointless Celebrities,

0:00:240:00:28

the show where we are always striving for the most obscure answers.

0:00:280:00:31

Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities.

0:00:310:00:33

APPLAUSE

0:00:330:00:36

-Couple number one.

-I'm Joe Swash

0:00:380:00:41

and I used to play Mickey Miller in EastEnders.

0:00:410:00:44

I'm John Altman, mainly known for Nick Cotton in EastEnders

0:00:440:00:47

and I also played George Harrison in Birth Of The Beatles,

0:00:470:00:50

a while back now.

0:00:500:00:52

APPLAUSE

0:00:520:00:54

Couple number two.

0:00:540:00:57

Hello, my name's Nick Pickard and for the past 20 years,

0:00:570:00:59

I've been playing Tony Hutchinson in TV's Hollyoaks.

0:00:590:01:02

I'm Ali Bastian and I used to work alongside Nick on Hollyoaks.

0:01:020:01:06

APPLAUSE

0:01:060:01:08

Couple number three.

0:01:100:01:11

Hi, I'm Victoria Bush and I'm probably best known

0:01:110:01:14

for playing Sonya Donnegan in Waterloo Road.

0:01:140:01:17

And my name is Zaraah Abrahams

0:01:170:01:20

and I played Michaela White in Waterloo Road.

0:01:200:01:22

APPLAUSE

0:01:220:01:25

And finally, couple number four.

0:01:260:01:29

Sharon Maughan and I did a coffee commercial,

0:01:290:01:32

for those that might remember,

0:01:320:01:34

and then I did Holby City with my lovely friend Tina.

0:01:340:01:37

I'm Tina Hobley and I played Chrissie in Holby

0:01:370:01:40

and Sharon played my mother.

0:01:400:01:41

Oh! Thanks!

0:01:410:01:44

APPLAUSE

0:01:440:01:46

Thanks very much, all of you.

0:01:480:01:49

We will find out more about you throughout the show.

0:01:490:01:51

So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:510:01:54

Like the governor of the Bank of England,

0:01:540:01:56

at some point, he is certain to raise our interest rate,

0:01:560:01:59

-it's my Pointless friend Richard.

-Hiya. Evening, everybody.

0:01:590:02:03

APPLAUSE

0:02:030:02:05

-Good evening to you.

-And to you.

-This will be fun, won't it?

-I know!

0:02:050:02:09

I'm worried that podium one are... A real marriage of two halves there.

0:02:090:02:13

We've got John, who has been on before and done very well before

0:02:130:02:16

and next to him, we've got Joe,

0:02:160:02:18

-who's been on before and did less well.

-All right.

0:02:180:02:22

Tina's also been on before, but everyone else, we welcome you.

0:02:220:02:25

-I think podium two might be dark horses.

-Really?

-The Hollyoaks team.

0:02:250:02:29

Round One is a good one.

0:02:290:02:31

As soon as you hear the question, everyone will panic,

0:02:310:02:34

but actually it's one of those ones

0:02:340:02:36

that I think we all know more answers to than we think at first.

0:02:360:02:39

It's going to be interesting.

0:02:390:02:40

Some people at home will do unbelievably well on question one.

0:02:400:02:43

Thank you very much indeed.

0:02:430:02:45

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

0:02:450:02:48

Our contestants are looking for those all-important pointless answers,

0:02:480:02:51

ones that none of our 100 people gave.

0:02:510:02:53

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

0:02:530:02:57

As today's show is a celebrity special - each celebrity is playing

0:02:570:03:00

for a nominated charity - we start off with a jackpot of £2,500.

0:03:000:03:05

APPLAUSE

0:03:050:03:07

If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:03:070:03:10

All you have to remember is that the pair with the highest score

0:03:150:03:18

at the end of each round will be eliminated

0:03:180:03:20

and your job is to make sure you are not that pair.

0:03:200:03:23

Also, there is to be no conferring

0:03:230:03:25

until we get to the head-to-head round.

0:03:250:03:27

Our first category this evening is...

0:03:270:03:30

That's all right. Sitcoms.

0:03:320:03:34

Can you decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second

0:03:340:03:38

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

0:03:380:03:40

Let's find out what the question is.

0:03:440:03:46

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...

0:03:460:03:50

Only Fools And Horses characters. Richard.

0:03:540:03:57

We are looking for the name of any character

0:03:570:03:59

who's appeared in more than one episode of Only Fools And Horses,

0:03:590:04:02

all the way through from 1981 to 2003. Any named character

0:04:020:04:06

who's been in more than one episode of Only Fools And Horses.

0:04:060:04:09

We won't accept recurring extras, like "market trader two"

0:04:090:04:12

and things like that, but any named character in that series.

0:04:120:04:15

-Best of luck.

-There we are. Thank you. Now, Joe, welcome back.

0:04:150:04:19

-Thank you vey much.

-Made it to Round Two last time.

0:04:190:04:22

Yeah, Round Two, but I blame my mum for that. She dragged me down.

0:04:220:04:25

Yeah, Joe's mum was his partner on this, just to clear that one up.

0:04:250:04:29

-Yeah, she was rubbish!

-Yeah. And you were brilliant, Joe.

0:04:290:04:34

Thank you very much! I don't think I was very much better than her

0:04:340:04:37

but John's been to the head-to-head before, so I'm hoping,

0:04:370:04:41

with his general knowledge, and I've got some obscure knowledge...

0:04:410:04:45

How good's your Only Fools And Horses knowledge?

0:04:450:04:47

It's all right. I know all the main characters,

0:04:470:04:49

it's just trying to find an obscure one.

0:04:490:04:51

-They only have to be in more than one episode.

-Yeah.

0:04:510:04:55

Joe, what are you up to at the moment?

0:04:550:04:57

This year, I'm going to be doing some more acting.

0:04:570:04:59

-It's about time!

-Oh, thank you very much.

-It's about time.

0:04:590:05:02

We've loved having you on here, but you've done various -

0:05:020:05:05

what do you call them? - factual, entertainment shows.

0:05:050:05:08

Yeah, I've done more presenting, documentary stuff

0:05:080:05:11

and spin-off shows. I want to continue doing that but this year,

0:05:110:05:14

-I want to do some more acting.

-So what are you going to do?

0:05:140:05:17

There's a couple of things in the pipeline, nothing at the moment.

0:05:170:05:20

No-one's phoned me yet.

0:05:200:05:21

It's annoying they've cancelled Downton Abbey, isn't it?

0:05:210:05:24

I'd be perfect for that, wouldn't I? Upstairs. Yeah, definitely.

0:05:240:05:28

OK, Joe, any characters from Only Fools And Horses.

0:05:280:05:31

The geezer behind the pub, I forgot his name -

0:05:310:05:34

he would have been a good one. Oh!

0:05:340:05:36

LAUGHTER

0:05:360:05:39

I know all the other ones are going to score highly.

0:05:390:05:41

Who's the geezer who works behind the caff?

0:05:410:05:43

All right, it's just going to have to be a high one really.

0:05:430:05:46

-I don't know. I'll go with Boycie.

-OK, Boycie, says Joe.

0:05:460:05:50

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

0:05:500:05:54

-It's right.

-That's all right. Go on!

0:05:560:05:58

-That's going down. 48.

-Not bad.

-It's under 50.

0:05:580:06:01

That's better than I thought, yeah.

0:06:010:06:03

-48 for Boycie.

-It is very tough on that first podium

0:06:040:06:08

when you're the first one to go as well.

0:06:080:06:09

I would say that's damage limitation.

0:06:090:06:11

I imagine there'll be some other big scorers, as this round goes on.

0:06:110:06:14

Played by John Challis, Boycie.

0:06:140:06:17

-Wonderful. Thank you. Now, Ali.

-Yes.

-Ali, welcome.

-Thank you.

0:06:170:06:22

Now, Hollyoaks you did with Nick. How long were you in Hollyoaks for?

0:06:220:06:26

-About six years.

-Then you went to The Bill.

-Yeah.

0:06:260:06:28

And you've been in the West End since then, haven't you?

0:06:280:06:31

-You've been in Chicago.

-Yeah, I played Roxie in Chicago,

0:06:310:06:35

on a UK tour. I was in town doing Burn The Floor,

0:06:350:06:38

which is a Latin and ballroom dance show.

0:06:380:06:40

-Very good. Were you an avid watcher of Only Fools And Horses, Ali?

-Yes.

0:06:400:06:45

-Do you think, enough to remember characters' names?

-I hope so.

0:06:450:06:49

I'm going to go with Cassandra.

0:06:490:06:51

-She played my mum when I was little in a TV show.

-Lovely.

0:06:510:06:57

OK, so, Cassandra, says Ali.

0:06:570:06:59

Let's see if it's right and how many people said Cassandra.

0:06:590:07:01

It is right. 48 is our only score so far and you pass it.

0:07:030:07:07

-42.

-Oh.

-There we are, Joe.

0:07:070:07:09

APPLAUSE You're in good company

0:07:090:07:12

in the 40s. 42.

0:07:120:07:15

Well played, Ali. Played by Gwyneth Strong, of course.

0:07:150:07:18

Thank you very much indeed. Victoria.

0:07:180:07:21

-Hello.

-Victoria, welcome to the show. Lovely to have you.

0:07:210:07:24

-You were in Waterloo Road up till the end.

-Oh, yeah.

0:07:240:07:27

-Cos it finished in March, 2015, didn't it?

-Yeah, it did.

0:07:270:07:29

-That must have been sad.

-It was quite sad.

0:07:290:07:32

-How close to the last scene were you?

-Oh, I was there on the last day.

0:07:320:07:36

-HE GULPS

-Yeah, I know. I had tears.

0:07:360:07:38

I left before I could... before anyone could see me

0:07:380:07:41

cos I knew I would break down.

0:07:410:07:43

And I'd had quite a lot of crying scenes leading up to...

0:07:430:07:46

So you were in the mood.

0:07:460:07:47

No, cos I didn't want people to think I found it really easy to cry,

0:07:470:07:51

so I needed to be seen to go away quickly before everyone was like,

0:07:510:07:54

"Oh, she can do that really easy", so I slipped away.

0:07:540:07:58

Only Fools And Horses - is this a gift of a round to you?

0:07:580:08:01

-Well, I'm going to go for a bit of a curveball.

-Good.

0:08:010:08:05

-I'm going to go for Damien Trotter.

-Damien Trotter.

-Very good.

0:08:050:08:09

Look, there's general approbation

0:08:090:08:11

and you get that "bee" noise from the audience, when they go, "Mmm."

0:08:110:08:15

It's the sign of a good answer or a terrible answer.

0:08:150:08:18

I'm just thinking that it's so close to the end

0:08:180:08:22

that people might have forgotten about it.

0:08:220:08:25

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

0:08:250:08:27

It's right. 48's our high score, 42's our low.

0:08:290:08:32

You pass the high, you pass the low.

0:08:320:08:34

-31. Very well done indeed.

-Whoo!

0:08:340:08:36

APPLAUSE

0:08:360:08:38

That's a very good answer, Victoria. Well played.

0:08:400:08:43

He's played by five different actors, Damien.

0:08:430:08:45

-It's not the sort of thing that would happen in a soap.

-No.

0:08:450:08:48

LAUGHTER

0:08:480:08:50

-There's an older Damien as well - Douglas Hodge plays him.

-Ah.

-Yeah.

0:08:500:08:54

-Didn't know that. Thank you.

-Pleasure.

-Now, Tina. Tina, welcome.

0:08:540:08:58

-Xander.

-How many years were you in Holby?

0:08:580:09:02

I was in for 12 years. 12 glorious years.

0:09:020:09:05

-Yeah, and then you left, 18 months ago or something like that?

-Yes.

0:09:050:09:09

And you're now touring. You're doing Dead Simple.

0:09:090:09:11

-I'm doing a Peter James play, which I'm absolutely loving.

-Yeah.

0:09:110:09:14

I haven't been in a play for a very long time, so I'm loving that.

0:09:140:09:17

-And I'm doing radio.

-Of course, you've got your Smooth show.

0:09:170:09:20

On a Sunday, 10 till 2.

0:09:200:09:22

Your family must have thought they were going to see you again

0:09:220:09:25

and they're not. As soon as you finished Holby, you were back off.

0:09:250:09:27

-No, I'm around.

-You're around.

-Yeah.

-What are you going to go for, Tina,

0:09:270:09:31

-of our Only Fools And Horses characters?

-Well, I grew up...

0:09:310:09:34

My whole family loved this show.

0:09:340:09:36

It was a real Christmas, fall asleep around the TV watching this.

0:09:360:09:39

I'm going to go for Boycie's wife, Marlene.

0:09:390:09:43

Marlene, says Tina. Marlene.

0:09:430:09:46

Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said Marlene.

0:09:460:09:50

It's right. 48 our high score, 31 our low. You pass 48.

0:09:520:09:57

-36.

-Oh! Very good!

-APPLAUSE

0:09:570:09:59

Nice grouping.

0:09:590:10:01

-36 for Marlene.

-Well played, Tina.

0:10:010:10:03

Four very good answers in that round.

0:10:030:10:06

It's going to be interesting on the way back.

0:10:060:10:08

Picking off some of the mid-level characters here.

0:10:080:10:10

Played by Sue Holderness. She's only in 20 episodes, Marlene.

0:10:100:10:13

It seems like she's such a presence throughout, but only in 20 episodes.

0:10:130:10:17

Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round.

0:10:170:10:19

Let's look at those scores. Very close.

0:10:190:10:21

31, Victoria, the best score of the pass. Well done.

0:10:210:10:24

Then up to 36, where we find Tina and Sharon.

0:10:240:10:27

Then up to 42, Ali and Nick

0:10:270:10:29

and 48, Joe and John. Very close.

0:10:290:10:31

Nice little family grouping there, so anything could happen.

0:10:310:10:34

And, as Richard says, gets quite interesting,

0:10:340:10:36

now that some of the easier shots have been taken.

0:10:360:10:39

What's going to happen in the next pass? Best of luck.

0:10:390:10:41

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:10:410:10:44

Sharon, a very warm welcome to Pointless.

0:10:480:10:51

-Lovely to have you here.

-Thank you.

0:10:510:10:53

-When did you leave Holby?

-Quite soon after I started.

0:10:530:10:56

No, it wasn't. I did about four and a half years.

0:10:560:10:58

-I left in 2007, a long time ago.

-Four and a half years.

0:10:580:11:01

How many episodes do you get done in four and a half years?

0:11:010:11:04

-I have no idea.

-Lots, I expect.

-Lots.

0:11:040:11:06

It's hard work, real graft. Loved every minute of it.

0:11:060:11:08

When you've been in a medical drama like that...

0:11:080:11:10

Yeah, I can't save anybody's life anywhere!

0:11:100:11:13

No, but do you somehow, nonetheless, feel

0:11:130:11:15

that you have a slightly heightened sense of medical procedure?

0:11:150:11:19

-Absolutely not!

-Really? So, if somebody suddenly ran in and said,

0:11:190:11:23

"Is there a doctor here?" and no-one put their hand up,

0:11:230:11:26

would you be waiting for them to say,

0:11:260:11:28

"Has anyone played some sort of medical role here?"

0:11:280:11:31

I wouldn't be waiting, but if they said that, I'd say, "Yes",

0:11:310:11:34

but it would make no difference

0:11:340:11:36

to me helping them in any way at all.

0:11:360:11:38

-You'd know how to put...

-Drip.

-A drip in, exactly. Do a suture.

0:11:380:11:43

I'd call Tina and ask her cos she remembers.

0:11:430:11:45

She was in it a lot longer than me.

0:11:450:11:47

Sharon, we want any named character from Only Fools And Horses.

0:11:470:11:52

My knowledge is limited,

0:11:520:11:54

so I have to go for...um...Rodney.

0:11:540:11:59

Ooh... Sorry, Tina.

0:11:590:12:01

Rodney, OK. Good. Here is your red line. It's quite low.

0:12:010:12:06

Let's see if you get below that with Rodney.

0:12:060:12:08

How many of our 100 people said Rodney?

0:12:080:12:11

It's right. Whoa, 85.

0:12:130:12:15

APPLAUSE

0:12:150:12:17

Do you know what though? The round is not yet over.

0:12:170:12:20

That takes your total up to 121. You could very easily be through

0:12:200:12:23

to the next round on that.

0:12:230:12:25

-It's going to get harder as it gets down here, isn't it, Joe?

-Yeah.

0:12:250:12:29

It's a correct answer - that's all we needed you to do.

0:12:290:12:32

If anyone else gets 100, you are safely through,

0:12:320:12:34

so much better than getting a wrong answer,

0:12:340:12:36

-getting 85.

-Indeed. There we are. Now, Zaraah, welcome.

0:12:360:12:40

-Thank you.

-Welcome to Pointless.

0:12:400:12:42

How old were you when you started in Corrie?

0:12:420:12:45

Er, very young, cos I remember plucking my eyebrows far too much.

0:12:450:12:48

I think I was 19 when I started Coronation Street.

0:12:480:12:53

-Corrie and then to Waterloo Road.

-Then to Waterloo Road, yeah.

0:12:530:12:56

And now, you're in the States. You're in The Knick.

0:12:560:12:58

-Yeah.

-Where do you film that?

-New York.

0:12:580:13:02

-That's exciting!

-Yeah, it's amazing.

0:13:020:13:04

The cast are amazing, the crew are amazing

0:13:040:13:07

-and New York is just the icing on the cake, so...

-And doable.

0:13:070:13:11

It's not that far, is it? LA is a good deal further away.

0:13:110:13:14

-Yeah, it's only six and a half hours, so...

-OK, you're on 31.

0:13:140:13:18

If you can get 89 or less,

0:13:180:13:21

-you're through to the next round.

-OK.

0:13:210:13:23

I'm going to go for...Mickey.

0:13:230:13:27

-Mickey.

-Yeah.

-OK.

0:13:270:13:29

Here is your red line.

0:13:290:13:31

If you can get below this with Mickey,

0:13:310:13:33

you're through to the next round. How many people said Mickey?

0:13:330:13:37

It's right and you're through.

0:13:390:13:41

-12.

-Whoo!

0:13:450:13:46

Best score of the round so far. APPLAUSE

0:13:460:13:49

Very well done indeed, Zaraah. Takes your total up to 43.

0:13:490:13:52

Well played, Zaraah. That was going to be MY answer, as well.

0:13:520:13:55

Mickey Pearce, played by Patrick Murray.

0:13:550:13:57

Always had the little pork pie hat.

0:13:570:13:59

Yeah, on his head, yeah.

0:13:590:14:01

-Thanks very much indeed. Now, Nick, welcome.

-Hello.

0:14:010:14:04

Not just IN Hollyoaks but the father of the show, in a manner of speaking.

0:14:040:14:09

-Yeah.

-You're the longest-serving character.

0:14:090:14:11

I've been there since the first episode.

0:14:110:14:13

-The sparks all call me Ken Barlow.

-LAUGHTER

0:14:130:14:16

What have been the big changes since then?

0:14:160:14:18

-There's been loads...

-Colour telly.

-Yeah, basically.

0:14:180:14:22

I've just been really happy there, though, for 20 years.

0:14:220:14:25

I went up there when I was 19

0:14:250:14:27

and fell in love with the place and the people,

0:14:270:14:30

cos we shoot it up in Liverpool,

0:14:300:14:32

and I'm still there, still plodding on.

0:14:320:14:33

OK, you're on 42. If you can score 78 or less, you're into Round Two.

0:14:330:14:38

Tina had mine. I don't know whether to play it safe

0:14:380:14:41

or go for one I'm not sure of, but I think I'll play it safe.

0:14:410:14:45

I'll try Raquel.

0:14:450:14:46

-Yeah.

-Raquel, says Nick. Here's your red line.

0:14:460:14:50

Get below that with Raquel, you're in Round Two.

0:14:500:14:53

-Well done!

-Ooh!

-Come on!

-Very good indeed.

0:14:560:14:59

37.

0:14:590:15:01

APPLAUSE

0:15:010:15:04

37 takes your total up to 79.

0:15:040:15:06

Very well played, Nick. Played by Tessa Peake-Jones.

0:15:060:15:09

I said at the start, it's one of those ones when you think,

0:15:090:15:11

"I can't name that many", and they keep coming to mind.

0:15:110:15:14

It's such a famous show, such brilliantly drawn characters.

0:15:140:15:17

Thank you, Richard.

0:15:170:15:19

Now, John, the many things you've achieved over the years.

0:15:190:15:22

You have achieved many.

0:15:220:15:23

You, I discover, were 2001 Rear of the Year.

0:15:230:15:29

-I've no idea how I got it.

-What do you do to get Rear of the Year?

0:15:290:15:32

I don't know. It must have been Nick Cotton's tight black jeans.

0:15:320:15:36

You turn up and pick up the award?

0:15:360:15:37

-Yeah, and I got some slimming aid as well.

-Really?

0:15:370:15:40

I've still got the award. It was a tray, I believe.

0:15:400:15:43

And a big do in a swanky hotel in Knightsbridge.

0:15:430:15:45

-And you're writing your autobiography, John.

-Yes.

0:15:450:15:48

It's a good therapy,

0:15:480:15:50

but it turned out to be... That's why I did it in the first place,

0:15:500:15:53

and then I just kept it going.

0:15:530:15:54

-That's good. Have you come up with a good name yet?

-There are two, yeah.

0:15:540:15:57

-Two working titles. One is In The Nick Of Time.

-Very nice.

0:15:570:16:02

That's a good one!

0:16:020:16:04

And one's a line which is in one of the stories -

0:16:040:16:06

Wild Days And Wicked Nights.

0:16:060:16:08

If you saw that at the airport, would you go for it?

0:16:080:16:10

-Definitely.

-Wild Days And Wicked Nights?

-Yeah, would you have a look?

0:16:100:16:13

I'm almost certain I've read that before, I'm sure.

0:16:130:16:16

-Good thinking.

-So, anyway, you're on 48.

0:16:160:16:19

The high-scorers on the far podium there, Tina and Sharon, on 121,

0:16:190:16:22

so 72 or less gets you through.

0:16:220:16:24

Yes, I've...

0:16:240:16:27

I'm going to go for Denzil.

0:16:270:16:30

-Denzil, says John. Denzil. Ooh, see, there the buzz.

-Go on, John!

0:16:300:16:34

Like so many bees in some lavender. There we are. There is your red line.

0:16:340:16:38

Let's see if you can get below that. How many people said Denzil?

0:16:380:16:41

-It's right and you've done it.

-Oh.

0:16:430:16:46

-Wow!

-Look at that! 16!

0:16:480:16:50

APPLAUSE

0:16:500:16:52

The second lowest score of the round. Very well done. 64 is your total.

0:16:520:16:55

-Good work.

-Great answer, John. Very well played.

0:16:550:16:59

Played by Paul Barber. I'll go through some of the low scorers

0:16:590:17:02

before we look at the pointless answers

0:17:020:17:04

cos I know lots of people will have picked different people.

0:17:040:17:07

The guy who works behind the bar is Mike.

0:17:070:17:09

-I knew it was Mike!

-Would have scored you 18 points.

0:17:090:17:11

-What about the old man in the caff?

-Is Sid.

-Oh, I thought it was Alfie.

0:17:110:17:15

-LAUGHTER

-Sid would have scored you 2 points.

0:17:150:17:17

Roy Slater, lots of people might have said,

0:17:170:17:20

played by Jim Broadbent, the cop. He would have scored you 4 points.

0:17:200:17:24

-What about Grandad?

-Grandad would have scored you 49.

0:17:240:17:26

Uncle Albert would have scored you 50, so 1 point different there.

0:17:260:17:30

Let's look through the pointless answers. There's a few of them.

0:17:300:17:33

You'd have done well to get any of these though.

0:17:330:17:35

Joyce and Julie are both barmaids in the Nag's Head.

0:17:370:17:39

Karen and Maureen, both barmaids as well.

0:17:420:17:44

Nula Conwell played Maureen, later went on to star in The Bill.

0:17:440:17:48

Nerys, another barmaid.

0:17:490:17:51

Detective Sergeant Terence Hoskins and Boycie and Marlene's son Tyler.

0:17:510:17:55

Well done if you said that.

0:17:550:17:57

Thanks very much indeed.

0:17:570:17:59

So, at the end of our first round, the pair heading home,

0:17:590:18:02

-I'm so sorry, Sharon and Tina.

-Don't be, that's fine.

0:18:020:18:05

-Tough round. Tough round if you didn't know.

-So tough.

0:18:050:18:07

Might you have got any of the other characters, though?

0:18:070:18:10

Did some of those sound familiar?

0:18:100:18:11

I never really watched the show but they sounded familiar.

0:18:110:18:14

-Sharon and Tina, lovely to have you here.

-Thank you.

0:18:140:18:17

Thanks for playing. See you again soon.

0:18:170:18:19

Sharon and Tina. APPLAUSE

0:18:190:18:22

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

0:18:220:18:25

APPLAUSE

0:18:250:18:28

Well, here we are in Round Two

0:18:300:18:32

and you'll have noticed that one of our pairs has left

0:18:320:18:34

which means we're down to three and at the end of this round,

0:18:340:18:37

we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.

0:18:370:18:40

Best of luck. Our category for Round Two is...

0:18:400:18:43

-Oh...

-Hooray!

-UK Geography.

0:18:450:18:47

Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second

0:18:470:18:51

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

0:18:510:18:54

And the question concerns...

0:18:580:19:00

UK place names that begin with the same letters, Richard.

0:19:050:19:07

On each board, we'll show you six trios of place names from the UK.

0:19:070:19:11

All of the trios start with the same series of letters

0:19:110:19:14

but we've missed those letters out.

0:19:140:19:16

All you have to do is fill in the gaps, please. Best of luck.

0:19:160:19:19

There will be six on each board, 12 in all to have a go at home.

0:19:190:19:22

-Best of luck.

-Thanks, Richard.

0:19:220:19:24

So, we are looking for the missing letters

0:19:240:19:26

that are shared by these groups of places.

0:19:260:19:29

Here's our first board. This is fun. I like this.

0:19:290:19:31

-That's tough, isn't it?

-It's tough to read out!

0:19:510:19:53

I'm going to read those one last time.

0:19:530:19:56

John.

0:20:120:20:13

Hmm.

0:20:130:20:14

I quite like my geography and I've toured a lot,

0:20:140:20:17

so I do know most of them.

0:20:170:20:19

It's just a matter of thinking hard about which ones they won't know.

0:20:190:20:24

I'm going to go for...the bottom one.

0:20:250:20:29

Ashford, Ashton-Under-Lyne, Ashby-de-la-Zouch.

0:20:290:20:33

OK, so "Ash" is what John is saying.

0:20:330:20:36

Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said "Ash".

0:20:360:20:40

It's right.

0:20:410:20:43

53.

0:20:440:20:45

APPLAUSE

0:20:450:20:47

-Not bad. 53.

-Yeah, good answer.

0:20:480:20:52

Ashby-de-la-Zouch is one of the best-named towns in Britain,

0:20:520:20:55

-isn't it?

-Just fabulous.

-De-la-Zouch.

-De-la-Zouch.

0:20:550:20:59

-Thank you, Richard. Ali.

-Yes.

-This is fun!

-It is.

0:20:590:21:03

-I've got one or two.

-Yes.

0:21:030:21:06

But I think they may be the ones that everybody else has got,

0:21:060:21:10

unfortunately. Shall I give it a whirl?

0:21:100:21:13

ALI SIGHS

0:21:130:21:15

I think I'm going to have to go for...

0:21:150:21:19

Yes?

0:21:190:21:21

-Harrogate, Hartlepool and Harpenden.

-Where hurricanes hardly ever happen.

0:21:210:21:26

OK, let's see if you're right with "Har".

0:21:260:21:30

Let's see if that's right and how many people said those things.

0:21:300:21:34

It's right.

0:21:370:21:39

-Well...69.

-Oh, well...

0:21:390:21:41

-It was right.

-It was right.

-It was good.

0:21:410:21:43

-Nothing wrong with that.

-A very good score.

0:21:430:21:46

Yeah, Harrogate was actually voted the happiest place

0:21:460:21:49

-to live in the UK in 2013 and 2014.

-Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:21:490:21:53

-Victoria, this board is all yours.

-Yeah...

0:21:530:21:56

I think it's easier than it originally looks.

0:21:560:21:59

It's the middle two that are getting me cos I know that I know them

0:21:590:22:03

but I'm trying to get the information from the back there

0:22:030:22:07

and it's not happening.

0:22:070:22:09

So, I'm going to have to go for Colchester, Coleraine, Colwyn Bay.

0:22:090:22:14

Oh, that's good. That's a good one.

0:22:140:22:17

Let's see how many people said "Col" for that.

0:22:170:22:19

Ooh, 74.

0:22:220:22:24

-Yeah.

-APPLAUSE

0:22:240:22:25

Ignore ME! I thought that was going a long way down.

0:22:250:22:28

I'm so sorry, Victoria.

0:22:280:22:30

Good answer, though, 74.

0:22:300:22:31

Victoria's right. It's the two in the middle

0:22:310:22:34

that are the best scorers on that board. The one at the top -

0:22:340:22:37

Canterbury, Canvey Island and Canary Wharf

0:22:370:22:40

would have scored you 90 points.

0:22:400:22:42

The next one - "gate" might be the clue in this one.

0:22:420:22:45

-It's a seaside town.

-That one I have got. "Rams."

0:22:450:22:47

Ramsey, Ramsbottom and Ramsgate. Would have scored 34.

0:22:470:22:51

-And the next one down. There's two villages there.

-"Oak".

-It's not.

0:22:510:22:55

-Where do YOU live?

-Oh, it's Oxshott. Oh, I see! For heaven's sake!

0:22:550:22:59

-You've got Oxshott, Oxford and Oxenholme.

-Ah!

0:22:590:23:02

And that would have scored 16 points. Well done if you said that.

0:23:020:23:05

-Thank you vey much.

-Pleasure.

-We're halfway through the round.

0:23:050:23:08

Let's look at the scores. 53, where we find John and Joe -

0:23:080:23:11

very much in pole position at this point.

0:23:110:23:13

Then up to 69 where we find Ali and Nick.

0:23:130:23:16

Then up to 74, where we find Victoria and Zaraah.

0:23:160:23:18

But you're all close. Anything can happen in the next round.

0:23:180:23:21

Let's hope there's something on the next board you like, Zaraah.

0:23:210:23:24

-You'll be the first person to answer, so you can pick at will.

-Right.

0:23:240:23:28

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:23:280:23:31

OK, let's put six more places with bits missing on the board

0:23:350:23:38

and here they are.

0:23:380:23:40

I'll read those all again.

0:24:010:24:03

-Phwoa, there we go! Zaraah.

-Yes.

-You want to score as low as possible

0:24:190:24:23

-because you're the high-scorers.

-Right.

0:24:230:24:26

So, the only one I really recognise,

0:24:260:24:29

which might be half the world...is "Pres".

0:24:290:24:35

-The bottom one.

-OK.

0:24:350:24:37

Prestwich, Prestonpans, Prestatyn.

0:24:370:24:40

No red line. Let's see how many people said Prestonpans etc.

0:24:400:24:44

It's right.

0:24:460:24:48

40.

0:24:500:24:52

APPLAUSE

0:24:520:24:54

That's our lowest score of the round so far,

0:24:540:24:56

so let's hope it's enough to keep you in. 114 is your total.

0:24:560:24:59

Well played, Zaraah. It's a good answer.

0:24:590:25:01

-Prestonpans is a great name for a town.

-Mmm.

0:25:010:25:03

-It's just to the east of Edinburgh.

-Thanks very much indeed.

0:25:030:25:06

Now, Nick, you have a target, which is 44 or less.

0:25:060:25:10

Right, I'm going to go with the second one

0:25:100:25:12

cos it's not too far from where I live, actually.

0:25:120:25:15

W-A-R.

0:25:150:25:16

"War". Warwick, Warminster and Warrington.

0:25:160:25:19

That looks like a good answer.

0:25:190:25:21

There's your red line. Get below that and you are through.

0:25:210:25:24

It's right.

0:25:270:25:29

-Ooh. 55.

-Oh!

0:25:290:25:31

APPLAUSE

0:25:310:25:33

55 takes your total up to 124. Good news on podium three there.

0:25:330:25:37

They all look so complicated when you first see them,

0:25:370:25:40

then when you work them out, it's so satisfying. But 55 is a big score.

0:25:400:25:43

Warwick Castle was built

0:25:430:25:45

under the orders of YOUR ancestor.

0:25:450:25:48

-Indeed.

-William the Conqueror.

-Indeed.

0:25:480:25:50

-Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Joe.

-Yes.

-70 or less.

0:25:500:25:55

-That's what we need from you.

-Well, I only know one of them.

0:25:550:25:58

I've been asking John to give me something for ages

0:25:580:26:01

and he's become like the teacher. He won't give me nothing now.

0:26:010:26:05

-He's scared of you, Alexandra.

-Yeah, well.

0:26:050:26:08

-Alexan-DER.

-I know the top one.

-LAUGHTER

0:26:080:26:11

-I don't know. It kind of suits you.

-Yeah...

0:26:110:26:15

I know the top one, so we'll go for "New".

0:26:150:26:17

-OK, Newmarket, Newquay, Newcastle Upon Tyne.

-Yeah.

0:26:170:26:20

There's your red line. You have to get below that with "New".

0:26:200:26:23

It's quite high but let's see

0:26:230:26:25

-how many of our 100 people said "New".

-Come on!

0:26:250:26:28

-Oh!

-What?

-94!

-What?!

0:26:300:26:32

-It didn't come down!

-I know. Well, 94.

0:26:320:26:36

APPLAUSE Oh, Joe.

0:26:360:26:39

147 is your total.

0:26:390:26:41

I think it's the "Castle Upon Tyne" bit that's just... It's... Yeah.

0:26:410:26:45

-Give that to 100 people and that's sort of a giveaway, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:26:450:26:49

Yeah, 94 is a very big score, bigger than anything on the first board.

0:26:490:26:53

Do you know the third one down, Xander?

0:26:530:26:55

Um, Tenterden, so Tenbury Wells?

0:26:550:26:57

Yeah, so Tenby in Wales, Tenterden in Kent and Tenbury Wells.

0:26:570:27:00

Would have scored 28.

0:27:000:27:02

That's the best answer on this board, actually.

0:27:020:27:04

-The next one down?

-Portishead.

-Portmeirion, Porthmadog.

0:27:040:27:08

-Would have scored 65.

-And Barney. Barnard Castle.

-"Barn".

0:27:080:27:12

Barnard Castle, Barnsley, Barnstaple. 72 for that.

0:27:120:27:16

-Some big scorers there.

-There we are. Thanks very much, Richard.

0:27:160:27:19

So, at the end of our second round, I'm sorry...

0:27:190:27:22

Joe, you were THAT close to making it through to the head-to-head.

0:27:220:27:25

Yeah. I think this is the same spot I went out last time.

0:27:250:27:29

I thought you were over there.

0:27:290:27:31

-No, no, the same round as I went out last time.

-Oh, I see what you mean.

0:27:310:27:35

-Yeah.

-You're right, it was Round Two.

0:27:350:27:37

It was my mum's fault the first time. It's John's fault today.

0:27:370:27:41

-Listen, it's been lovely having you back.

-Thanks.

0:27:410:27:44

-Joe and John, please come back again. Great to see you.

-Thank you.

0:27:440:27:48

-APPLAUSE

-Sorry, John.

0:27:480:27:50

-That's all right.

-Sorry, mate.

0:27:500:27:51

For Zaraah and Victoria, Ali and Nick, it's time for our head-to-head.

0:27:510:27:54

APPLAUSE

0:27:540:27:57

Congratulations, Zaraah and Victoria, Ali and Nick.

0:27:570:28:00

You're now one step closer to the final

0:28:000:28:02

and a chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,500.

0:28:020:28:07

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:28:070:28:09

This is the point where we decide who goes through to the final

0:28:110:28:14

and plays for that jackpot and we do that by making you go head-to-head.

0:28:140:28:17

The difference is you can confer from here on in, you play as a team,

0:28:170:28:20

which takes some of the pressure off.

0:28:200:28:22

The first player to win two questions goes through the final and plays for that jackpot.

0:28:220:28:25

Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play it.

0:28:250:28:27

APPLAUSE

0:28:270:28:29

Here comes your first question and it concerns...

0:28:330:28:36

LAUGHTER Famous Feet - that old chestnut!

0:28:390:28:41

We're going to show you five clues to people or characters

0:28:410:28:44

who are famous for their feet.

0:28:440:28:45

You just need to name the most obscure, please.

0:28:450:28:48

Let's reveal our five pairs of feet, our ten feet, and here they are.

0:28:480:28:52

I'll read those one last time.

0:29:150:29:17

Zaraah and Victoria, you are our low-scorers, so you will go first.

0:29:330:29:37

We kind of knew...

0:29:370:29:39

We know three for sure,

0:29:390:29:41

-so we're going to go with the one that we think's the lowest.

-Yeah.

0:29:410:29:46

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

0:29:460:29:48

Hermes, the Greek messenger god often pictured with...

0:29:480:29:51

-TOGETHER:

-Wing-ed sandals.

0:29:510:29:53

-Wing-ed sandals.

-Wing-ed sandals, no less.

-Hermes, you're going to say.

0:29:530:29:57

Very good. Ali and Nick, the board's all yours.

0:29:570:30:00

-Talk us through it.

-We don't know three.

0:30:000:30:02

We only know one, so we'll have to go with that one.

0:30:030:30:06

-We're going to go with Zola Budd for number two.

-Zola Budd.

0:30:060:30:09

So we have Hermes and Zola Budd. Zaraah and Victoria said Hermes.

0:30:090:30:13

Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 said it.

0:30:130:30:16

It is right.

0:30:180:30:20

Look at that! 21!

0:30:240:30:26

APPLAUSE

0:30:260:30:28

21, with the wing-ed sandals. Ali and Nick have gone for Zola Budd.

0:30:290:30:33

Let's see if that's right

0:30:330:30:35

for the athlete who set a world record in 1985.

0:30:350:30:37

How many people said Zola Budd?

0:30:370:30:39

-Is it going to...?

-Oh!

-Oh, 47.

0:30:440:30:46

APPLAUSE

0:30:460:30:48

Good answer, high score. Well done, Zaraah and Victoria.

0:30:480:30:52

-After one question, you're up 1-0.

-That's a very good answer.

0:30:520:30:55

-I'm wearing a pair of wing-ed sandals at the moment.

-So you are.

0:30:550:30:59

There's actually one answer up there that would have beaten that.

0:30:590:31:03

It's not the top answer. That's Shirley Bassey

0:31:030:31:05

and would have scored you 25.

0:31:050:31:08

It's not the middle one. That's the biggest answer on the board.

0:31:080:31:11

-Sandie Shaw.

-Sandie Shaw, 57.

0:31:110:31:14

-The bottom one is...?

-Theresa May.

0:31:140:31:16

Theresa May and that would have scored you 19 points.

0:31:160:31:20

Someone at a Tory fundraiser paid £17,500

0:31:200:31:23

-to go shoe shopping with Theresa May.

-Wow!

-Yeah, I know!

-Wow!

0:31:230:31:27

You'd want a pair of wing-ed sandals by the end of that, wouldn't you,

0:31:270:31:30

-if you paid that money?

-Yeah. LAUGHTER

0:31:300:31:33

Thanks very much. Here comes your second question.

0:31:330:31:35

Ali and Nick get to answer it first but you have to win it

0:31:350:31:38

to stay in the game, so best of luck. It concerns...

0:31:380:31:40

Popular pub names, Richard.

0:31:430:31:45

We're going to show you some pairs of pictures

0:31:450:31:47

and together they make up popular pub names from the UK.

0:31:470:31:50

Can you guess the most obscure of these?

0:31:500:31:52

Let's reveal our clues to popular pub names and here they come.

0:31:520:31:55

There we are. OK, take a moment and confer.

0:32:250:32:29

-Ali and Nick.

-Yeah.

0:32:290:32:31

-King's...

-Hands? That's not it.

-King's Head?

-That's not it.

0:32:310:32:36

-Are we going to go Fox and Hounds?

-I guess so.

-Yeah?

0:32:380:32:41

It might be goodnight for us.

0:32:410:32:44

-We'll go with D, Fox and Hounds.

-OK, Fox and Hounds, say Ali and Nick.

0:32:470:32:52

Fox and Hounds. OK, Zaraah and Victoria,

0:32:520:32:55

do you fancy talking us through the rest of that board?

0:32:550:32:58

Obviously A is King's Arms.

0:32:580:33:01

-C...

-Is that a football manager or a politician?

0:33:010:33:06

The one with the microphone and the dark glasses?

0:33:060:33:09

-No, not him!

-No!

-LAUGHTER

0:33:090:33:13

-No, up the top there. Yeah, the Beauty and the Beast?

-Yeah!

0:33:130:33:17

LAUGHTER

0:33:170:33:19

-I don't know! The Prince of Wales.

-Yeah.

-And the White Horse.

0:33:190:33:24

The White Horse. I think B could be, like, somebody Day. Holly Day pub?

0:33:240:33:30

-Holiday Pub?

-Holiday Inn?

-Yeah, Holiday Inn. No.

0:33:300:33:35

-No, we're going to go for the Prince of Wales.

-Yeah. Ooh, scared!

0:33:350:33:39

OK, the Prince of Wales.

0:33:390:33:41

So, we have the Fox and Hounds and the Prince of Wales.

0:33:410:33:43

Ali and Nick said the Fox and Hounds. Let's see if that's right for D.

0:33:430:33:47

Hope so!

0:33:490:33:51

-Oh!

-76.

0:33:520:33:53

APPLAUSE

0:33:530:33:56

76 for the Fox and Hounds.

0:33:560:33:58

-Zaraah and Victoria have gone for the Prince of Wales.

-No!

0:33:580:34:02

The Prince of Wales for C. Let's see if that's right...

0:34:020:34:04

I'm so scared. I can't bear this noise.

0:34:040:34:07

..and how many of our 100 people said the Prince of Wales.

0:34:070:34:10

It's right

0:34:130:34:14

-and you've done it!

-Oh!

-Very well done indeed.

0:34:140:34:17

You've done it by quite a margin. Look at that. 19.

0:34:170:34:20

APPLAUSE

0:34:200:34:22

19, which means, Zaraah and Victoria, after only two questions,

0:34:220:34:25

you are through to the final, 2-0.

0:34:250:34:28

Again, you picked the second best answer on the board,

0:34:280:34:30

so very impressive.

0:34:300:34:32

Good work from Waterloo Road over Hollyoaks, I'm afraid. 2-0.

0:34:320:34:35

A, you are right, is the King's Arms.

0:34:350:34:38

I didn't get that, isn't that terrible? 55 for that.

0:34:390:34:42

-I was thinking King's Hand?

-I was thinking King's Head.

0:34:420:34:45

Yeah, as soon as it wasn't the King's Head, I got so confused.

0:34:450:34:49

We'll leave B for a moment. E is the White Horse.

0:34:490:34:52

62. And B...

0:34:550:34:57

You know who the first one is - that's Holly Willoughby -

0:34:570:34:59

-but who's the second one?

-Jeb Bush.

-That is Jeb Bush.

0:34:590:35:02

You're going to hear a lot more about HIM.

0:35:020:35:04

The Holly Bush. 17 points, so the best answer on the board.

0:35:040:35:08

Now, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head,

0:35:080:35:11

I'm sorry to say, it's Ali and Nick.

0:35:110:35:13

-It's been lovely having you on the show.

-Thank you.

-Thank you very much.

0:35:130:35:17

But they were just too good, is the honest truth. But thank you so much.

0:35:170:35:21

-Ali and Nick, wonderful contestants.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:35:210:35:24

APPLAUSE

0:35:240:35:27

For Zaraah and Victoria, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:35:270:35:30

Congratulations, Zaraah and Victoria.

0:35:330:35:36

You fought off all the competition valiantly

0:35:360:35:38

and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:35:380:35:41

-Oh!

-Whoo-hoo!

-Oh, yay!

-Yay!

0:35:410:35:43

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

0:35:490:35:51

At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,500.

0:35:510:35:54

There it is.

0:35:540:35:56

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:35:560:35:58

Well, it's been a... It's been a Waterloo Road rout.

0:35:590:36:03

You've just seen everyone off with consummate ease.

0:36:030:36:06

Each round, the lowest-scoring pair and then 2-0 in the head-to-head.

0:36:060:36:10

You get to choose your category...

0:36:100:36:12

I say "choose" - we put four impossible things up on the board

0:36:120:36:15

-and you have to pick one of them!

-Yes.

-That's how it works.

0:36:150:36:18

Let's see what today's selection looks like.

0:36:180:36:20

I hope there's some thing up there you like the look of.

0:36:200:36:22

"Flower" Films is going to be films with "Flower" in the titles of them.

0:36:290:36:33

-Reckon?

-Uh-huh. Sporting Dames?

0:36:330:36:36

I don't know anything about ladies in sport, sorry.

0:36:360:36:39

How old was I in 2008? Was I old enough to remember stuff? Yeah.

0:36:390:36:42

-Modern US Fiction - I'm not really a reader, terribly.

-OK, so no.

-No.

0:36:420:36:47

-So "Flower" Films?

-"Flower" Films.

-Yeah, "Flower" Films.

0:36:470:36:51

"Flower Films. OK, here we go.

0:36:510:36:53

I thought you were going to go for The Year 2008 there,

0:36:530:36:56

with the popular culture and all that.

0:36:560:36:58

We're going to give you three different questions.

0:36:580:37:00

We're looking for anybody, according to IMDb,

0:37:000:37:02

-who is credited as appearing in any of the following films.

-OK.

0:37:020:37:06

The 2001 film Iris,

0:37:060:37:08

the 1947 classic Black Narcissus...

0:37:080:37:11

..or the 1996 film The Name Of The Rose.

0:37:130:37:16

So, any of the cast of Iris, any of the cast of Black Narcissus

0:37:160:37:19

and any of the cast of The Name Of The Rose.

0:37:190:37:22

So, anyone, according to IMDb,

0:37:220:37:24

who's credited with appearing in any of those three films. Best of luck.

0:37:240:37:27

As always, you have up to one minute to come up with three answers

0:37:270:37:31

and all you need to win that jackpot for your charities

0:37:310:37:33

-is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?

-Yeah.

0:37:330:37:38

OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. Your time starts now.

0:37:380:37:41

So Iris was...

0:37:410:37:43

It's about Iris Murdoch, so it's Judi Dench played her.

0:37:430:37:48

Oh, OK, so that's going to be so popular.

0:37:480:37:51

Loads of people are going to know that.

0:37:510:37:53

I want to say Kate Winslet's in it as well, but I'm not terribly sure.

0:37:530:37:58

Black Narcissus...

0:37:580:38:00

I think it's got, um, Bette Davis in it.

0:38:000:38:04

-Um...

-I'm sorry, I can't help.

0:38:040:38:06

But I don't know if that's The Killing of Sister George,

0:38:060:38:08

so I'm a little bit... I've chosen the wrong category, put it that way.

0:38:080:38:12

-But The Name Of The Rose I don't even know.

-I don't know.

0:38:120:38:16

I was really hoping that it was going to be something else.

0:38:160:38:19

-Um...

-Shall we just go for cast of Iris?

-I guess we'll go for...

0:38:190:38:22

-Yeah, we'll go for Judi Dench, Kate Winslet and Bette Davis.

-OK.

0:38:220:38:28

-Yeah, I think that's going to be our...

-Ten seconds left.

0:38:280:38:32

Do you want to use those?

0:38:320:38:35

Yeah, there's no point trying to pull anything else out cos...

0:38:350:38:38

-We could just make up a name like Maria.

-Yeah.

0:38:380:38:40

Well, you've got three answers there. Your time is now up.

0:38:400:38:43

-Let's just go over them again.

-Uh-huh.

-We've got Judi Dench?

0:38:430:38:48

-Yes.

-Bette Davis.

-Yes.

-And...?

0:38:480:38:51

-Kate Winslet.

-Kate Winslet.

0:38:510:38:53

Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:38:530:38:56

-Bette Davis?

-Bette Davis goes last.

0:38:560:38:58

-Least likely to be pointless? BOTH:

-Judi Dench.

-Judi Dench.

0:38:580:39:02

Kate Winslet goes in the middle.

0:39:020:39:03

Let's pop those answers up on the board in that order.

0:39:030:39:06

Very best of luck. Three good answers up on the board there.

0:39:100:39:13

One of those could be pointless and, if it is,

0:39:130:39:15

it will win that jackpot for your charities.

0:39:150:39:18

What charities are you playing for? Zaraah first.

0:39:180:39:20

-I'm playing for Cancer Research.

-Very good. Victoria?

0:39:200:39:24

-MacMillan Cancer Support.

-Excellent.

0:39:240:39:26

APPLAUSE

0:39:260:39:29

Two wonderful charities.

0:39:300:39:32

Let's hope we can make them a little bit richer with one of your answers.

0:39:320:39:36

Your first answer was Judi Dench.

0:39:360:39:38

In this case, we were looking for the cast of Iris.

0:39:380:39:40

It has to be right, then pointless. If it's both, it will win you £2,500.

0:39:400:39:45

How many people said Judi Dench?

0:39:450:39:47

It's right.

0:39:500:39:51

All it has to do is go down to zero now

0:39:510:39:54

and you can leave with a check for £2,500 for your charities.

0:39:540:39:57

Down it goes, through the teens.

0:39:570:40:00

17. APPLAUSE

0:40:000:40:02

Oh, wow!

0:40:020:40:04

-17. Not a bad score.

-No.

-Sadly, not a pointless answer.

-No.

-No.

0:40:040:40:10

You've only got two more shots at today's jackpot.

0:40:100:40:12

Your next answer was Kate Winslet, again from the cast of Iris.

0:40:120:40:16

Let's see how many people said Kate Winslet.

0:40:160:40:19

For £2,500, is it pointless?

0:40:190:40:21

Well, it's right. Judi Dench took us all the way down to 17.

0:40:250:40:29

Kate Winslet takes us down through the 30s and the 20s.

0:40:290:40:33

Passes 17. Down it goes, single figures.

0:40:330:40:35

Oh, 8. APPLAUSE

0:40:350:40:38

8 for Kate Winslet. This is going in the right direction.

0:40:410:40:44

We just have to hope your third and final answer is correct.

0:40:440:40:47

You had a hunch. Somewhere at the back of your mind,

0:40:470:40:50

you thought Bette Davis might have been in Black Narcissus.

Let's find out if it's right, let's find out if it's pointless.

0:40:530:40:56

For £2,500, how many people said Bette Davis?

0:40:560:40:58

-Ooh, no!

-No.

-I'm sorry.

0:41:010:41:03

I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.

0:41:030:41:06

You didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,

0:41:060:41:09

so you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500.

0:41:090:41:12

However, as this is a celebrity special,

0:41:120:41:14

and each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity,

0:41:140:41:17

we're going to donate £500 to each celebrity pair

0:41:170:41:20

-for their respective charities.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

0:41:200:41:23

It's a great pleasure. APPLAUSE

0:41:230:41:26

And, over and above that, you have been fantastic on this show.

0:41:270:41:31

-Right across the show, you've played so well.

-Thank you very much.

0:41:310:41:34

Really good answers and you get to take a Pointless trophy home.

0:41:340:41:37

-Yay!

-Yay!

-So it hasn't all been in vain.

0:41:370:41:39

You have played terrifically throughout.

0:41:390:41:41

It was a very tough last category, sorry about that.

0:41:410:41:44

Let's look at the pointless answers in the different ones.

0:41:440:41:47

Iris is the film about Iris Murdoch. Some great actors in it.

0:41:470:41:50

Timothy West plays the older Maurice

0:41:550:41:57

and his son, Samuel West, plays the younger Maurice.

0:41:570:41:59

They're both pointless answers. Penelope Wilton, Eleanor Bron.

0:41:590:42:02

Everyone apart from Judi Dench, Kate Winslet and Jim Broadbent.

0:42:020:42:06

All the other people in that film were pointless answers.

0:42:060:42:08

Black Narcissus.

0:42:080:42:10

Everyone in that film, apart from Deborah Kerr, Jean Simmons

0:42:140:42:18

and Flora Robson - everyone else was a pointless answer.

0:42:180:42:20

-Not Gene Simmons from Kiss?

-It WAS Gene Simmons from Kiss, yes.

-Oh!

-Oh!

0:42:200:42:24

LAUGHTER

0:42:240:42:27

-A very, very young Gene Simmons.

-I know, I was thinking...

0:42:270:42:30

Now let's take a look at The Name Of The Rose.

0:42:300:42:33

Everyone in that film, apart from Sean Connery

0:42:390:42:41

and Christian Slater were pointless answers.

0:42:410:42:44

Well done if you got any of those at home and unlucky in the studio.

0:42:440:42:46

Thanks very much. We have to say goodbye to you, Zaraah and Victoria,

0:42:460:42:50

but it's been fabulous having you on the show.

0:42:500:42:53

-Thank you so much for coming on.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:42:530:42:55

-Zaraah and Victoria.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:42:550:42:57

APPLAUSE Join us next time,

0:42:570:43:00

when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.

0:43:000:43:03

-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

0:43:030:43:05

And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.

0:43:050:43:07

APPLAUSE
