0:00:22 > 0:00:23APPLAUSE Thank you very much. Hello, I'm
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Alexander Armstrong and a very warm welcome to this special history
0:00:26 > 0:00:29edition of Pointless Celebrities. The show where the aim of the game
0:00:29 > 0:00:32is to score as few points as you can and you do that with by coming up
0:00:32 > 0:00:37with the answers no-one else could think of. Let's meet today's Pointless Celebrities.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44- And couple number one.- Hello, I'm Kate Williams and I'm a historian.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48I am Adam Hart-Davis. I am not a historian. My only qualification in
0:00:48 > 0:00:50history is that I failed O level.
0:00:56 > 0:01:01- Couple number two.- I am Janina Ramirez and I'm an art historian.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03And I make programmes for BBC Four.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09I'm Andrew Graham-Dixon. I'm also an art historian and in my spare time
0:01:09 > 0:01:13I drive around Italy eating far too much in the company of my friend
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Giorgio Locatelli.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Couple number three.- Hello, I'm Ben Willbond. You probably know me
0:01:23 > 0:01:29from the show Horrible Histories, where I met my co-writer Larry Rickard.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Hi, I'm Larry Rickard. All of that is true.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- And finally, couple number four. - Hello, I am Lars Tharp.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44I am a china maniac on the Antiques Roadshow and occasional cellist.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47And I'd like to add,
0:01:47 > 0:01:51a friend of mine because I met Lars maybe 35 years ago,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54it was a great treat. And from that I started presenting
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Bargain Hunt and do the odd pasodoble.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Thanks very much, all of you.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06We will find out more about each of you as the show goes along.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce. This
0:02:08 > 0:02:12conversation is being recorded for training and monitoring purposes.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya. Evening, everybody.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- Goodness me. Goodness. This is a clever line-up.- I know, isn't it?
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Very, very clever. Now, podium three though, we have our only returning
0:02:26 > 0:02:29player and that is Ben, who came on last time with another of his
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Horrible Histories co-stars, Jim. Got through to the jackpot round.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38Got a one-point answer. A one-point answer. So Pointless owes Ben.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- Yeah, it does.- This is where you collect.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Thank you very much.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Now, as usual, all of today's questions have been put to 100 people
0:02:45 > 0:02:49before the show. Our contestants here are looking for those all-important pointless answers.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52These being answers that none of our 100 people gave. Find one of those
0:02:52 > 0:02:54and we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Now, as today's show is a celebrity special, each of our celebrities
0:02:57 > 0:02:59is playing for a nominated charity.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03We start off with a jackpot of £2,500. There we are.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17So all you have to remember is that the pair with the highest score at
0:03:17 > 0:03:21the end of each round will be eliminated. So, yes, you are going
0:03:21 > 0:03:24to try and score as few points as you can. No conferring in our first two rounds.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Our first category this evening is countries.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33It's countries. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:03:33 > 0:03:35who's going to go second?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44OK. Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:03:54 > 0:03:58European Union countries whose names contains the letters E or U.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Richard.- We are looking for any country that is a member state of
0:04:01 > 0:04:06the EU as of April 2015 that contains the letter E or U, please, or both.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09As always, by country, I mean a sovereign state that's a member of
0:04:09 > 0:04:13- the UN in its own right.- Thanks very much indeed. Now, Adam, a very
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- warm welcome to Pointless to you. - Thank you.- But you started as a
0:04:16 > 0:04:21- producer, Adam.- I'd been a researcher for years.- A researcher.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- A researcher for six years.- You've worked on so many much-loved
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- science programmes. Arthur C Clarke. - Arthur C Clarke.- David Bellamy
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- you worked with.- And Magnus Pyke. - Magnus Pyke, yes.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32When I first joined, I worked for Magnus Pyke.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34There we are. Now, what are you going to say?
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- We need a country that contains the letter E or U.- I'm going to go
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- for Slovenia.- Slovenia. Slovenia, says Adam. Let's see how many of
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- our 100 people said Slovenia.- Is it right?
0:04:48 > 0:04:49It is right.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Scored 11. Great start to the show.
0:04:58 > 0:05:0011 for Slovenia.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04It's a very good start. Been a member of the EU since 2004
0:05:04 > 0:05:07and it has got an E bang in the middle.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- Thank you very much indeed. Andrew, a warm welcome to Pointless.- Hello.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15Well, aside from being an art critic for years on the Independent and then
0:05:15 > 0:05:19the Sunday Telegraph, you have made many programmes about various artists.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Do you have a favourite painter?- A favourite painter?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- Probably Caravaggio.- I thought you would say that.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26I did spend ten years writing a book about him
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- so I'd have to like him quite a lot. - You would have to, you would have to.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Andrew, what are you going to go for? EU countries with E, U in their names.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37I'm not sure, A, if this really is a country - I think it is -
0:05:37 > 0:05:39and B, if it's actually a member of the European Union.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Though I don't see what else it would be.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43So I'm going to go with Lichtenstein.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Lichtenstein. OK, Andrew is saying Lichtenstein.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Let's see if that is right.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Let's see how many of our 100 people said Lichtenstein.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Oh, Andrew. I am so sorry, I'm so sorry.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59That is an incorrect answer and it scores you 100 points.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- I'm so sorry.- Don't worry, darling.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Not a member of the EU, I'm afraid, Lichtenstein.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08It's absolutely packed full of Es though. It's got three Es in it. Can you believe it?
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Ben, welcome back. As you said in your little precis at the top there,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14most people would know you from Horrible Histories.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Were you ever surprised at what a phenomenon that turned out to be?
0:06:17 > 0:06:23Yes, really taken aback. Cos we started out as a very small...
0:06:23 > 0:06:27educational sketch show for children and five series later,
0:06:27 > 0:06:31we were just delighted with the results and being stopped
0:06:31 > 0:06:34in the streets by kids and it's lovely.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Now, Ben, countries in the EU with an E or U in their name.
0:06:38 > 0:06:44OK, I'm going to go with Lithuania. That's where I'm going to go.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Lithuania. I can see why you would. It's got the U in there.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- It's got a big old U.- Look at that, right there.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Almost slap bang in the middle. Let's see if that's right, Lithuania,
0:06:53 > 0:06:55and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Look at that.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Look at that, down it goes.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Oh, 13.
0:07:07 > 0:07:0913 for Lithuania.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12It joined exactly the same time as Slovenia.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15You said it's got a U almost in the middle. I've got to tell you
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- right now, slap bang in the middle. - Wow.- Fifth of nine.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19You could not get more middle.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Tim, a very, very warm welcome.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- Thank you.- Here representing antiquities, I suppose.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Antiques anyway. I tell you what, the world of antiques,
0:07:31 > 0:07:35I mean, certainly as I see it through your eyes, is a very jolly place.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38It certainly is. Of course, there aren't that many antiques about,
0:07:38 > 0:07:44so what you see on our sort of show tends to be collectables and objects
0:07:44 > 0:07:48which are just a tad rarer than what went into the skip last week.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Very nice. Now, Tim, we are looking
0:07:50 > 0:07:53for EU countries that contain the letters E or U.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- I'm going to go for Estonia, actually.- Estonia.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Estonia, says Tim. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Estonia.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- It's right.- Very good.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Well, 11 is our low score, 100
0:08:06 > 0:08:08is our high. You passed 100 early on.
0:08:08 > 0:08:1025 is where you end up with Estonia.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Well done.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Well done, my friend.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Well played, Tim. And again, joined at the same time as Lithuania and Slovenia.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19It's got an E right at the beginning.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22The first country in the world to use the internet for parliamentary elections.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Really?- 2007. Yes. Won't be the last but they were the first.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Thank you very much indeed, Richard. We're halfway through the round
0:08:28 > 0:08:29so let's take a look at those scores.
0:08:29 > 0:08:3211 the best score of the pass. Very well done indeed, Adam.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Adam and Kate looking very, very strong at this point.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36As indeed are Ben and Larry on 13.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Up to 25 where we find Tim and Lars, also looking pretty song.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Now, Andrew and Janina, yes. About that 100, you might well have
0:08:43 > 0:08:45another high-scorer joining you there,
0:08:45 > 0:08:48in which case, we need a low score from you to get you through
0:08:48 > 0:08:50to the next round. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- OK, now, Lars, a very warm welcome to Pointless to you.- Thank you.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Now, on Antiques Roadshow, your area of expertise is ceramics
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- and porcelain, isn't it?- Yes. Ceramics, that's me.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Now, ceramics, what is fun about that is it's one of those schools,
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I suppose, where something, to the trained eye, you would spot
0:09:13 > 0:09:15the difference between something that might be worth 20 quid
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- and something that might be priceless.- Yes.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20So presumably, you have the great privilege occasionally
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- of putting people right.- One way or another, yes.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- That's quite satisfying.- A lady came in with a...
0:09:26 > 0:09:30She said, "I've been collecting soap bowls for so many years.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32And out came this dish.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33And she thought it was a soap dish.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37And I said to her, "Well, I hate to disappoint you, cos
0:09:37 > 0:09:40"you have managed to pick up a late-17th-century barber's bleeding bowl."
0:09:40 > 0:09:44"This bleeding bowl
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- "is worth somewhere between £5,000 and £6,000."- No!- Wow.- Yeah.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Now, Lars, we need you to score 74 or less
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- to be sure of a place in the next round.- Yes.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59- Shall we go high risk?- High risk. - High risk.- Yes.- Macedonia.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00Macedonia.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Macedonia. Now, Lars, there is your red line.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06If you can get below that with Macedonia,
0:10:06 > 0:10:07you are through to the next round.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Let's see how many of our 100 people said Macedonia.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Oh!- Bad luck, Lars. I'm sorry, that's an incorrect answer.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Scores you 100 points. Takes your total up to 125.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Janina and Andrew
0:10:21 > 0:10:23back in with a chance.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25That is almost the very definition of risk.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- You only needed 74 or less to get through. Each to their own.- There we go.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Each to their own.- Thank you very much, Richard.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- Now, Larry, a very warm welcome to Pointless to you.- Thank you.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Great to have you here. Another of the great Horrible Histories ensemble.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44- Did you have a favourite character that you did?- I don't know.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47The great thing about doing that show was that every day you turn up
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- and you get to be four different people.- Yeah.- I did enjoy...
0:10:50 > 0:10:53I played a character called Bob Hale which sort of ran throughout
0:10:53 > 0:10:56the five years that we did, which was tremendously good fun.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58He was kind of a presenter.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00He was an octogenarian presenter.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Sort of a little bit in a Peter Snow mould.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Fantastic.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Good news for you - it doesn't matter what you score in this round,
0:11:07 > 0:11:10you are still through to the next round.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- That's very good news for me.- This is good news.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Now, Larry, let's have a knockout answer from you.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Well, when I was growing up, my brother had this metal globe
0:11:17 > 0:11:20that was in his bedroom that I was trying to picture.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22But I dropped it at one point and it got a dent in one side
0:11:22 > 0:11:25so all can see in my mind is the dent and it's right over Europe.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28So I'm going to go with Portugal.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Portugal, says Larry. Portugal. No red line for you as you are already through.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Let's see how many of our 100 said Portugal.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37It's right.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40- 50.- Yes.
0:11:40 > 0:11:4263 is your total.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Yeah, one of the most dented countries in Europe, Portugal.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53- With a U in it.- Yes.- It used to be an O but it got broken.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55LAUGHTER
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Very good. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Now, Janina, a very warm
0:11:59 > 0:12:02welcome to Pointless. Oh, this is going to be exciting.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Now, Janina, your period, really, is more ancient.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- You are medieval, Anglo-Saxon, aren't you?- Yes, yes.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11I am the butt of many Horrible History jokes, my period.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16It's the sort of smelly period in history. According to them.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- Do you ever get sort of era envy? - I do get envy.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22I get envy of these people who have got lots of documents to look at.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23I get a fraction.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27But in a way, I get to be much more of a detective and piece bits
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- of evidence together, which I really enjoy.- That's true.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Now, then, Janina.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33You know what you have to do, you have to score 24 or less.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36I don't want to take too much of a punt.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40I'm going to say the home of the EU itself. I'm going to say Luxembourg.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45Luxembourg. OK, we have to get below this red line with Luxembourg.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- Otherwise we have to say goodbye to you.- Oh.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Let's see how many of our 100 people said Luxembourg.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53It's right.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- You've done it!- Oh!- 19.- Yes!
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Very well done. 19 brings your total up to 119 and through.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Sorry!- Well done.- You go through to Round Two.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Yeah, an EU member since 1958, Luxembourg.- Wow.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13And it's got a U in it and an E in it, and it scored under 25.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16I mean, you just couldn't come up with a more perfect answer.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19You just couldn't. You couldn't. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- Very good. Kate, welcome.- Thank you.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- Now, you are something of a Royal specialist, aren't you?- Yes.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- A constitutional historian.- Yes.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Which is a great gig to be in, presumably, because it means
0:13:29 > 0:13:32any time there is any sort of pageantry, which let's face it, is...
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- Once a week.- ..four or five times a year, exactly, there's a lovely
0:13:36 > 0:13:38- warm space on the mid-morning sofa for you.- For me to talk about
0:13:38 > 0:13:40- pageantry and carriages.- Yes.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44You always have to keep your diary clear around trooping the colour,
0:13:44 > 0:13:47any kind of Royal wedding, anything like that.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50You've just got to make sure in the month build-up to that.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52We were on standby for the Royal baby for quite a long time.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Yes, quite a long time, I was waiting for the Royal baby.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Very, very exciting. Now, Kate, there you are on 11.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02It doesn't matter what you score either, you are also
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- through to the next round.- OK.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06So you can have a bit of fun with this answer.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I'm going to go for the Czech Republic.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12The Czech Republic, says Kate. No red line, you are already through.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Let's see how many of our 100 people said the Czech Republic.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18It's right.
0:14:22 > 0:14:2623. Very good indeed. 34 is your total.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29It's the lowest total of the round.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30Very well played, Kate.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Another of that slew of countries that joined in 2004.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Now, right at the beginning of this round, Adam gave us Slovenia.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Actually, there's only one answer better than that on the entire board.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42There's no pointless answers at all.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44The best answer you possibly could have given for 9 points
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- is Cyprus.- Oh.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Cyprus for 9 points would have been the best answer.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Bulgaria would have scored you 18, Netherlands 20.
0:14:52 > 0:14:5422 points for Hungary and Austria.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59You would have got 36 for Sweden, 37 for Ireland, 47 for Greece.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00Thank you very much, Richard.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03So at the end of our first round, the pair who are heading home
0:15:03 > 0:15:05with our high score of 125,
0:15:05 > 0:15:08I am so sorry, Tim and Lars, it's you on that far podium there.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12It's been lovely having you on the show but please come and play again.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Lars and Tim, wonderful.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16APPLAUSE
0:15:16 > 0:15:20But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Well, you would have noticed that we are now down to three pairs.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30At the end of this round... Pff! ..we will be down to two, I know.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Best of luck to all three players. Our category for Round Two
0:15:32 > 0:15:37- this evening is history. What about that?- What?!- What about that?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:15:39 > 0:15:41who's going to go second?
0:15:41 > 0:15:43And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- Would you like to go first?- OK, and the question concerns...
0:15:50 > 0:15:52CONTESTANTS GROAN
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- The Romans.- Really?- Richard.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Just a series of historians going, "Oh, no, not the Romans."
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- LAUGHTER - "Oh!"
0:15:59 > 0:16:01On each board we are going to give you six clues to
0:16:01 > 0:16:04facts about the Romans and the Roman era.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Just need to give us the most obscure answer you can, please.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09There's going to be 12 in all to have a go at at home, best of luck.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Thank you very much indeed.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13OK, so here is our first board of clues about the Romans
0:16:13 > 0:16:16and here they come. We've got...
0:16:40 > 0:16:42I will read all those one last time.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11There we are. Now, Adam, over to you.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Right, so you just want one answer?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Right. OK, "Veni, vidi, vici" means,
0:17:16 > 0:17:18"I came, I saw, I conquered."
0:17:18 > 0:17:22- Or, play conkers, as the case may be.- OK, let's see if that is right.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26"I came, I saw, I conquered." How many of our 100 people said that?
0:17:32 > 0:17:3431.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- 31, OK.- Well played, Adam.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Now, you and Adam both said "vicki" instead of "vitchi".
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- That's more correct, is it? - Well, "vitchi" is...
0:17:43 > 0:17:44If you pronounce the C, "tchi",
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- in church Latin you would.- What's church Latin?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Well, church Latin is the Latin of the mass, you would say "tchi".
0:17:50 > 0:17:54I don't know what to believe any more.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56I'm much more comfortable when we have the Cheeky Girls on.
0:17:56 > 0:18:01- Now, the "Keeky" Girls.- The Keeky Girls, yeah, exactly. There we go.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- Thank you very much. Now, then, Janina.- Yes.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Janina, what would you like to go for?
0:18:06 > 0:18:07There's a couple
0:18:07 > 0:18:08I reckon I could have a stab at.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10But I'm going to go with the volcano
0:18:10 > 0:18:12which erupted in AD 79.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- And I'm going to go with Vesuvius. - Vesuvius, says Janina.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Let's see how many of our 100 people said Vesuvius.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Well, 31 is our only score at this stage.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Vesuvius, 56.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- Oh!- There you are.- Very popular.
0:18:28 > 0:18:34- Very popular volcano there.- It last erupted in 1944, as well, Vesuvius.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So, Larry, the board is all yours.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- Yeah.- Talk us through it. It's not so bad, is it?- It's not awful.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45It's sort of annoying cos I've got a feeling I do know the answer
0:18:45 > 0:18:48to the second one. I've got a feeling this guy
0:18:48 > 0:18:49might have played him at one point.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51The top one is Gladiator.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Monty Python film, I'd get thrown out of the comedy writers circle
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- if I didn't know Life Of Brian.- You really would.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59I'm thinking Cleopatra.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02There were two people, weren't there, that famously...
0:19:02 > 0:19:05she sort of flimflammed between two men.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08But I would have thought that would be Mark Antony.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Yeah, fortune favours the brave, as I think was said by a Roman
0:19:11 > 0:19:14who then immediately died.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- Mark Antony, please.- Mark Antony, says Larry.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18Let's see if that's right.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Let's see how many of our 100 people said Mark Antony.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Absolutely right. Now, 56 our high score, 31 our low.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26You passed the high,
0:19:26 > 0:19:27you passed the low.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Look at that, well done! Fortune favours the brave indeed, Larry.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- Genius!- 13.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Well played, Larry. Terrific answer.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Went for the right one of the ones you knew as well.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40You are right about Gladiator.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43But it would've scored you more points, would've scored you 48.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45You're right about Life Of Brian as well, of course.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47That would have scored you 22.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51Now, Ben, did you play this philosopher, do you think?
0:19:51 > 0:19:53- I am pretty sure I did. I'm suffering.- It's terrible, isn't it?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56The answer was Seneca.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- Seneca!- Seneca. And it was a pointless answer as well.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Very well done if you said that.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Thanks. We are halfway through, let's look at the scores.
0:20:03 > 0:20:0513, the best score of that pass. Larry, very well done to you.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Larry and Ben looking very strong. On 31, we find
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Adam and Kate. Then 56,
0:20:10 > 0:20:11Janina and Andrew. So, Andrew,
0:20:11 > 0:20:14yes, a nice low score from you on the next board, please,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17will keep you in the round. We come back down the line now.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25OK, let's put six more clues up on the board, and here they come.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27We have got...
0:20:52 > 0:20:54I'll read those one last time.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Now, then. Ben.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Oh, it is me, isn't it?- Ben, yes.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Nice low score, by the way, from Larry on that last round,
0:21:24 > 0:21:27which means, if you score 42 or less,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29you will be sure of a place in the head-to-head.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32I'm going to go for the Kubrick film.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33Spartacus.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Spartacus, says Ben. Here is your red line.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38If you can get below that with Spartacus,
0:21:38 > 0:21:40you are definitely in the head-to-head.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Let's see how many people said Spartacus. Is it right?
0:21:43 > 0:21:44It is right.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Not bad, Ben. Not bad at all. 50.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Look at that. 63 is your total. APPLAUSE
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Yeah, it won four Oscars in 1961.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58A lot of this round is actually a film round disguised.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- It really is. - It is a pretend history round.- Yeah.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Thank you very much, Richard. Andrew.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Now, Andrew, you really want to be scoring 6 or less to be
0:22:07 > 0:22:09sure of a place in the next round.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- That's easy(!)- Uh-huh.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15I know the answer to four, but that might be a bit obvious.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Five is pretty obvious, too.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Six. I don't think that many people would get.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26So I am going to guess, of the two that it could be,
0:22:26 > 0:22:30- I think it is Coriolanus. - Coriolanus, says Andrew.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31OK, there is your red line.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33You have got to get below that
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- with Coriolanus.- Oh, great(!)
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Let's see how many of our 100 people said Coriolanus.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Is right.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45All going the right way...
0:22:45 > 0:22:48You made it through! Well done indeed. 2.
0:22:48 > 0:22:502 for Coriolanus. 58...
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Well done!
0:22:51 > 0:22:53..is your total.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55APPLAUSE
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- Also turned into a film, of course, with Ralph Fiennes.- Yeah.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Very good film.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02There you go. Thank you very much indeed. Now, then, Kate.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Kate, look at this. 31,
0:23:04 > 0:23:07you have. 31, you have to score.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Shall I go for the easy ones...? Shall I go for the ones I know
0:23:10 > 0:23:13but I think they're going to be high scores?
0:23:13 > 0:23:14Or shall I go for the risky one?
0:23:14 > 0:23:17I will go for number...number...
0:23:17 > 0:23:21five, I think. That has got to be the easiest, I think.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23So that is Hadrian's Wall.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26OK. OK, now, there is your red line.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Hadrian's Wall, says Kate. Let's see how far down the column we get
0:23:29 > 0:23:31with Hadrian's Wall.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38Ohh...
0:23:38 > 0:23:4148. 79 is your total.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42Oh, no!
0:23:42 > 0:23:46- I'm sorry, Kate, that is a high score there.- Yeah, sorry, Kate.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47High wall, high score.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50If you'd had to go for a risk, another one you might have gone for?
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- I was risking number one.- What would you have gone for, for number one?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55- Was that Genghis Khan? - Do you know what? It's not,
0:23:55 > 0:23:58but an awful lot of people would have said that. It's Attila the Hun.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- Oh!- Attila the Hun? - It's the other one.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04That is a nickname and a half, isn't it? The Scourge of God.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- Yeah. And he went with The Hun? I mean, really?!- Isn't that weird?
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Would have scored you 13 points.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10If you'd given us the Roman god,
0:24:10 > 0:24:13which of course is Jupiter, we'd be in a deadlock situation
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- because it would have scored you 32 points.- Oh, no!- Wow.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19And the Latin lyric poet and satirist.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20I was thinking of Cicero.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- It is Horace.- Horace! - Horace is the answer.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Would've scored you 3 points.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26But Quintus Horatius Flaccus,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29also the real name of Snoop Doggy Dog.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Oh, right. ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Thank you very much indeed. So we are at the and of our second round.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Look at this, very impressive scoring there.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40And I am afraid our high-scorers on only 79 -
0:24:40 > 0:24:43it's not that high a score but somebody has to be -
0:24:43 > 0:24:44and I'm afraid, Kate and Adam, it is you.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Thank you so much for coming and playing.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Wonderful having you. Please come again.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50But in the meantime, thank you very much. Kate and Adam.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53APPLAUSE
0:24:53 > 0:24:55But for Andrew and Janina, Larry and Ben, it is
0:24:55 > 0:24:57now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Well done, Larry and Ben, Andrew and Janina,
0:25:03 > 0:25:05you are now one step closer
0:25:05 > 0:25:08to the final and that chance to play for our jackpot for your charities.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11And at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,500.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13APPLAUSE
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Very good indeed.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Now, this is the point where we decide who goes through to the final
0:25:19 > 0:25:22and plays for that jackpot. We do that by making you go head-to-head.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25The difference is you can now confer before you give your answers.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28So we get the sum total of all that knowledge.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Best of luck with this round. Let's play the head-to-head!
0:25:34 > 0:25:39APPLAUSE
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Here is your first question. And it concerns...
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Songs from musicals. Richard.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51We are going to play five versions of songs from famous musicals now.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54You need to tell us what musicals are the following songs from,
0:25:54 > 0:25:57please. The name of the musical is what we are looking for.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01OK. So let's reveal our songs, and here they come.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02We are listening to them in order.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04A is the first.
0:26:15 > 0:26:21# What good is sitting alone in your room
0:26:21 > 0:26:27# Come hear the music play... #
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Here is B.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31# I dreamed a dream
0:26:31 > 0:26:36# In time gone by
0:26:36 > 0:26:38# When hope was high
0:26:38 > 0:26:43# And life worth living
0:26:44 > 0:26:50# I dreamed that love would never die... #
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Here is C.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57# Now at least I know I know him well
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- # Wasn't it good? - Oh, so good
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- # Wasn't he fine? - Oh, so fine.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06# Isn't it madness?
0:27:06 > 0:27:10# He can't be mine. #
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Here is D.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17# Oh, what a beautiful morning
0:27:17 > 0:27:22# Oh, what a beautiful day
0:27:22 > 0:27:27# I got a beautiful feeling
0:27:27 > 0:27:32# Everything's going my way. #
0:27:32 > 0:27:34And here is E.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38# Isn't it rich?
0:27:39 > 0:27:43# Are we a pair?
0:27:44 > 0:27:49# Me here at last on the ground
0:27:49 > 0:27:54# You in midair
0:27:54 > 0:28:00# Send in the clowns... #
0:28:00 > 0:28:03OK, there we are. Now, Larry and Ben,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05you have been our low-scorers throughout the show so far,
0:28:05 > 0:28:07so you will answer first.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10The two that I definitely know I think most people will know.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13So I am inclined to go for C.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15- Chess?- Chess.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19Chess for C, say Larry and Ben, Chess. Now, Andrew and Janina.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Um... OK, well, we are pretty good on A and B.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24B is Les Mis.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27The trouble with A is that anybody who starts singing it, they know...
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Cos the word...the name of the musical is
0:28:29 > 0:28:32straight bang there in the first line.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35I think E is Aspects Of Love, but I'm not sure.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37- Shall we just go with the one that we know?- Yes.- All right.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39- Let's play it safe.- A - Cabaret.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42A - Cabaret. So we have Chess and we have Cabaret.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43Now, Larry and Ben went for Chess
0:28:43 > 0:28:45for C. Let's see if that's right.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49Let's see how many of our 100 said Chess.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Is right. Chess is right.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58APPLAUSE
0:28:58 > 0:29:0121 for Chess, which means Andrew
0:29:01 > 0:29:06and Janina have to beat that with Cabaret, which they have said is A.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Let's see if that's right.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Oh, Andrew, you flatter yourself.
0:29:15 > 0:29:1863. Larry and Ben, very well done.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20After one question, you are up 1-nil.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23I Know Him So Well from Chess, of course.
0:29:23 > 0:29:24Only one answer to beat it.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Let's take a little listen to the ones we haven't got answers for. B.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30As you rightly said, it is Les Miserables.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Would have scored 52 points.
0:29:38 > 0:29:39This is D.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42- That is Oh, What A Beautiful Morning, from Oklahoma!- Oklahoma!
0:29:42 > 0:29:47Would've scored you 46 points. Again, wouldn't have won the point.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48It is the last one that would have
0:29:48 > 0:29:50- won you the point. - This one...I think I know.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- This is a Sondheim musical. - It's A Little Night Music.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55- A Little Night Music.- Oh!- Exactly.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58It would have scored you 8 points.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01- So very well done if you said that at home.- Very nice.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03There we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:30:03 > 0:30:04So here comes your second question.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Now, Andrew and Janina, you have to win this one,
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- but you do get to answer it first. - OK.- So it concerns...
0:30:13 > 0:30:14JANINA LAUGHS
0:30:14 > 0:30:17- Is that good for you? - Tudor Queens, Richard.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19We are going to show you five clues now relating to
0:30:19 > 0:30:20queens of the Tudor dynasty.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23The most obscure answer will get you the points.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25OK, rather than have me read out the clues,
0:30:25 > 0:30:28which I could of course do, we have someone far better equipped.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- We have the one and only Sir Tony Robinson.- Oh!
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Hi, Xander and Richard, sorry I can't be with you tonight,
0:30:34 > 0:30:39but I have got five clues relating to queens of the Tudor dynasty.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42She was played by Claire Foy
0:30:42 > 0:30:48in the 2015 BBC drama series Wolf Hall.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51She was the mother of Edward VI.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57She was beheaded in the Tower of London in the year 1542.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04She was played by Judi Dench in the 1998 film Shakespeare In Love.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10She was the sixth wife of Henry VIII.
0:31:10 > 0:31:11Good luck.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16There we are. OK, I'm going to read those out one last time.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32There we are. Andrew and Janina, it is over to you.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35THEY WHISPER
0:31:37 > 0:31:40OK, we're going to go for "She was the mother of Edward VI",
0:31:40 > 0:31:42and I'm going to say Jane Seymour.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46Jane Seymour, say Andrew and Janina. Jane Seymour.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Now, then, Larry and Ben, talk us through the board.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Well, no, this is terrible because Ben has played Henry VIII.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Yes, I have.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56- So you have been married to all of them.- I have been married to all of them.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59OK, so Claire Foy, we were saying, was Anne Boleyn,
0:31:59 > 0:32:01- played Anne Boleyn.- Yeah.- OK.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05Beheaded in the Tower of London, 1542, would have been number five?
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- Yes.- That's the one I can't think of the name of.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12The sixth wife, was it Catherine Parr who survived him?
0:32:12 > 0:32:16- And Judi Dench, she played Elizabeth, didn't she?- Yeah.- OK.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20But I will state that the sixth wife of Henry VIII is Catherine Parr.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Catherine Parr, say Larry and Ben. Catherine Parr.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25So we have Jane Seymour and we have Catherine Parr.
0:32:25 > 0:32:26Two good answers there.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Andrew and Janina have said Jane Seymour
0:32:28 > 0:32:30for the mother of Edward VI.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Jane Seymour.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36It's right.
0:32:40 > 0:32:41Oh, no!
0:32:41 > 0:32:44- APPLAUSE - It's not that low.
0:32:44 > 0:32:4630 for Jane Seymour.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Now, Larry and Ben have gone for Catherine Parr,
0:32:48 > 0:32:52let's see if that is right for the sixth wife of Henry VIII.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Let's see how many people said Catherine Parr.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58It is absolutely right.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Now, then, this, I think, is going to be very close indeed.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Who is going to... Oh!
0:33:02 > 0:33:04There is your answer, it's 36.
0:33:04 > 0:33:0636 for Catherine Parr.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09But well done. Andrew and Janina, you're back in the game.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11After two questions, it is 1-all.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13And you were nip and tuck as to whether to go for that or for
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Anne Boleyn for the top one, which is the right answer.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Anne Boleyn would have seen you into the final. Because it is right.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- And it would have scored 21 points. - Never listen to me.
0:33:22 > 0:33:2321 points for that.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Now, Judi Dench, yes, absolutely right, played Elizabeth.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Would have scored too many points for everybody.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Would have scored 49.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34- And the best answer on the board is Catherine Howard.- Of course.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36And that would have scored 16 points.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39- Good Lord. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41So here comes your third question.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Whoever wins this one goes through to the final to play
0:33:43 > 0:33:46for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:33:48 > 0:33:49Yay!
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Animal jokes, Richard.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53We're going to show you five animal jokes now.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55We need you to tell us the punchline, please.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56To help you out, we have given you
0:33:56 > 0:33:58alternate letters of the punchlines.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Whoever gives us the best answer is going through
0:34:01 > 0:34:02to play for the jackpot.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04- This is just superb, Richard. - Fun, isn't it?
0:34:04 > 0:34:08We've never done this before. Let's reveal our five animal jokes. And here they come.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24- I know them all! - I'll read those one last time.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Now, then, Larry and Ben will go first.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38THEY WHISPER
0:34:38 > 0:34:41I think I know the first one. So shall we try that?
0:34:41 > 0:34:42Yeah, let's do that.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45What is white, sugary, has whiskers and floats on the sea?
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Is it a catameringue?
0:34:47 > 0:34:48Surely!
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Andrew and Janina, talk us through the board.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54I have a six-year-old son, so I know the answer to all of them.
0:34:54 > 0:34:55- By hareplane.- By hareplane.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57What do you call an elephant that flies?
0:34:57 > 0:35:01A jumbo jet. What do you call a fly that has no wings? A walk.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04What do you call a sleeping bull? A bulldozer.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06- We are going to go with a walk. - You're going to go with a walk.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09So we have a catameringue and we have a walk.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12So in the order they were given, Larry and Ben said a catameringue.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:35:16 > 0:35:17It's right.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Catameringue gets 23.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25APPLAUSE
0:35:27 > 0:35:31Now, then, Andrew and Janina have gone for a walk, which arguably
0:35:31 > 0:35:33- might be more of a score.- I think we might be going for a walk.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Who knows? We'll see. One of you will. We'll find out, though.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38A walk, how many people said that? Is it right?
0:35:40 > 0:35:42It is right. Of course it's right.
0:35:46 > 0:35:47Oh, 26 for a walk!
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Very close indeed.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54- That is amazing.- Very close indeed, but very well done.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Larry and Ben, after three questions,
0:35:56 > 0:35:58you are through to the final 2-1.
0:35:58 > 0:35:59Well played, both teams.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Those are the best two answers on the board by quite some way.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04We've heard all these punchlines.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06By hareplane would have scored you 42.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Jumbo jet would have scored you 54.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11And a bulldozer, the biggest score
0:36:11 > 0:36:13by a mile, actually. 89 points.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:36:19 > 0:36:22- I'm so sorry, Andrew and Janina. That was so close.- Really, really close.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24- It was all down to who went first. - Yeah.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26But yeah, absolutely fantastic.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28It has been great having you on the show.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Very strong performance all the way across.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32We'll draw a veil over Liechtenstein.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34But please come back and play again.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38Andrew and Janina, thanks very much indeed. Great contestants.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42But for Larry and Ben, it is now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47What about that?!
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Larry and Ben, you've seen off all the competition
0:36:50 > 0:36:53and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot for your charities.
0:37:01 > 0:37:06At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,500.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12- You've seen off all those historians.- I know.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15OK, now, let's see what the selection is today.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17You can choose one of these four.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26- Oooh...- I mean, I know nothing about the Lake District
0:37:26 > 0:37:28apart from it's got at least A LAKE,
0:37:28 > 0:37:31probably numerous. Put that one aside.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Roaring '20s... Lovely time.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Love Art Deco and all of that, but let's not be silly here.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39- It's going to have to be... - Classic British films.
0:37:39 > 0:37:40Classic British films it is.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42OK, very best of luck.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Ben, last time you were here, you scored 1 point.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Let's hope you can go one better with one of these.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49We're looking for any cast members, according to IMDB,
0:37:49 > 0:37:51of any of the three following films, please.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55Looking for any cast member of 2001's Gosford Park.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59- Any cast member of 1981's Chariots Of Fire.- Oh!
0:37:59 > 0:38:03Or any cast member of 1962's Lawrence Of Arabia.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06So according to IMDB, the cast members of Gosford Park,
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Chariots Of Fire or Lawrence Of Arabia.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Thanks very much indeed, Richard. OK, now, as always,
0:38:11 > 0:38:13you've got one minute to come up with three answers.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16All you need to win that jackpot is for one to be pointless.
0:38:16 > 0:38:17Are you ready?
0:38:17 > 0:38:19- You betcha.- Yes.- OK, let's put 60
0:38:19 > 0:38:21seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23- Your time starts now.- Right, I have
0:38:23 > 0:38:24never seen any of these films.
0:38:24 > 0:38:25- Oh, God!- Not true.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26I've seen Lawrence of Arabia
0:38:26 > 0:38:28and Chariots Of Fire, but a long
0:38:28 > 0:38:29- time ago.- So, Chariots Of Fire,
0:38:29 > 0:38:31I was thinking about this morning,
0:38:31 > 0:38:33- isn't that weird?- That's very weird.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37- Ben Cross and...- Yes. - And Nigel Havers.- Yeah.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Nigel Havers, I think, will be the more likely of the two,
0:38:40 > 0:38:41but Ben Cross is good.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Gosford Park had like...
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Gosford Park had everyone in it.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47If you just say an actor, they were in it.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49But I can't think who was in it.
0:38:49 > 0:38:50It's like Robert Altman, isn't it?
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- Is that right? No, it's not.- No.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57- We'll talk about that later. - OK. Arabia.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01It has got everyone, it has got your Fry, it's got Richard E Grant,
0:39:01 > 0:39:03it's got...
0:39:03 > 0:39:05American actor. This would be a good answer.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07- Oh, my goodness me! - What else is he in?
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Uh...
0:39:10 > 0:39:12I don't think we can say,
0:39:12 > 0:39:14- "American actor."- Ten seconds.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Anyone from Lawrence Of Arabia,
0:39:16 > 0:39:18obviously apart from...?
0:39:18 > 0:39:21- Apart from...- Apart from...
0:39:21 > 0:39:23OK, it's fine. It's fine.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25OK, I'm afraid that is your time up.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28What are your three answers going to be?
0:39:28 > 0:39:29I think it has got to be Ben Cross.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33- Ben Cross for Chariots Of Fire. - Ben Cross.- So Havers?
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- We're going to have to.- You're going to go with Havers?- Nigel Havers.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38OK, Havers is in there too.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40I think we are going to have for... OK, just... We'll go with
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Richard E Grant, but I think we are wrong here.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Richard E Grant, OK. For Gosford Park.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Of those three, best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:47 > 0:39:51- Ben Cross.- Ben Cross, surely. Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Probably Havers.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57And here they are.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03Three excellent answers on the board.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06What charities will you be giving this jackpot to should you win it?
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Mine goes to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust -
0:40:08 > 0:40:11a good friend of mine's condition that she lives with
0:40:11 > 0:40:14and an awful lot of great work being done and leaps
0:40:14 > 0:40:17and strides being made but a lot more work to do.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20- Ben? - I have decided to go with War Child.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23OK, very good. APPLAUSE
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Two excellent charities there.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Let's hope one of these answers wins that jackpot for them to split.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30OK, in the first instance,
0:40:30 > 0:40:34we were looking for actors from the cast of Chariots Of Fire.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37You have gone for Nigel Havers.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39This is the one you thought was probably least likely to be
0:40:39 > 0:40:44pointless. For £2,500, let's see how many people went for Havers.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49It's right.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50Actually, right now,
0:40:50 > 0:40:52if this goes all the way down to zero,
0:40:52 > 0:40:53you leave here immediately
0:40:53 > 0:40:55with £2,500 for your charities.
0:40:55 > 0:40:56Down it goes through the teens.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Into single figures. Still going down.
0:40:58 > 0:40:59Look at that!
0:40:59 > 0:41:026 for Nigel Havers.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Wow.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07So, unfortunately, not a pointless answer, which means everything is
0:41:07 > 0:41:10now riding on your last two answers, Richard E Grant and Ben Cross.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Richard E Grant, in this case,
0:41:12 > 0:41:14we were looking for Gosford Park cast members.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Let's see how many people said that.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18It has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21For £2,500, how many people said Richard E Grant?
0:41:23 > 0:41:24It's right!
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Richard E Grant is right.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Ben certain it was wrong, but it is right.
0:41:28 > 0:41:29Nigel Havers was right
0:41:29 > 0:41:31and took us all the way down to 6.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Richard E Grant is now taking us down
0:41:33 > 0:41:34into single figures, down it goes.
