0:01:21 > 0:01:23APPLAUSE

0:01:27 > 0:01:30My name's Lee Stafford, and I'm a hairdresser.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32And I'm Nicky Clarke, and I'M a hairdresser.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34APPLAUSE
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39We will find out more about you as the show goes along.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Exploring all the avenues like a cab driver doing the Knowledge,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Hiya. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Evening, everybody. Evening.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Good evening to you.- And to you, sir.- I feel slightly underdressed.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- It's a very stylish show today, isn't it?- Very, yeah.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Look at everyone. Very cool. Very cool.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04That's why I wore my Alexander McQueen sarong under the desk.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Yeah!- I don't normally do, as you know.- No.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Well, it can sometimes get caught on the chair, can't it?
0:02:10 > 0:02:11Exactly. Health and Safety.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Should be a cracker. We've only had two people on the show before
0:02:14 > 0:02:16and they're both on that podium four, Nicky and Lee.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Both been on with different partners.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Neither of them have seen the business end
0:02:20 > 0:02:21of an episode of Pointless yet,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23so hopefully, this time, they may well do.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Thanks very much, Richard. Now, as usual, all of today's questions
0:02:26 > 0:02:29have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Our lovely contestants are looking for those
0:02:30 > 0:02:32all-important pointless answers,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34the answers, of course, that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Do that, and we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Now, as today's show is a celebrity special,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45We start off of with a jackpot of £2,500.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47There we are.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58OK, all you have to remember is that the pair with the highest score
0:02:58 > 0:03:01at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03That is it. That is the only rule of Pointless
0:03:03 > 0:03:06and of course there is to be no conferring in the first two rounds.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Our first category this evening is...
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Food. It's Food. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:03:14 > 0:03:16who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:25 > 0:03:27..Cheese And Biscuits.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28There we go, Cheese And Biscuits.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29- Richard?- What better way
0:03:29 > 0:03:32to start a cutting-edge Style and Fashion version
0:03:32 > 0:03:33of Pointless Celebrities?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36On each board, we'll show you seven questions.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37The answers to all of those questions
0:03:37 > 0:03:39are either a type of cheese or a type of biscuit.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Seven on each board, 14 in all to have a go at at home.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Very, very best of luck.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Excellent, OK.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47So, we are looking for the cheeses or biscuits
0:03:47 > 0:03:49described by these clues.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Here's our first board of seven.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28I'm going to read all those again.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Jonathan, welcome to Pointless.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05- Thank you.- Good to have you here.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Now, you were a fashion agent for... For how long?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- 31 years! - HE LAUGHS
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Cos we always think of fashion as being a very glamorous world...
0:05:14 > 0:05:16And a young person's world!
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Still for you, Jonathan - still very young.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20- Very youthful.- Thank you.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22We think of it as very glamorous.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26I should think down in the hot galley of fashion agency it's anything but glamorous.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Not glamorous at all. You sit behind a computer like anybody else and...
0:05:29 > 0:05:32put up with a load of nonsense like everybody else!
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Did you ever use the words,
0:05:34 > 0:05:37"She's not getting out of bed for less than..."?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Did you ever say that? - Many, many, many times.- Yes.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43And how often did the phone just go dead?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Well, with the calibre of my lot, not very often.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- You went on then to food.- Yes. - The world of fashion and food,
0:05:50 > 0:05:53they're not obvious bedfellows, are they?
0:05:53 > 0:05:57You know what? You're right. They're not obvious but I've been cooking
0:05:57 > 0:06:00for a lot longer than 31 years, so it's been part of my life as well.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Very good. Well, this is a dream round for you, then, isn't it?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Not bad. Not bad.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- What are you going to go for? - A rich, creamy white cheese,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10its name in Italian means "beautiful country".
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- And?- Bel Paese.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Bel Paese, says Jonathan.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Bel Paese, let's see if it's right,
0:06:16 > 0:06:18let's see how many of our 100 said that.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20It's right.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Bel Paese is still going down,
0:06:25 > 0:06:27look at that, Jonathan! Down it goes.
0:06:27 > 0:06:295, that's a great answer!
0:06:29 > 0:06:30What a start to the round!
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Hurrah.
0:06:33 > 0:06:345 for Bel Paese.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Very well played, Jonathan. He does know his food, doesn't he?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Great start to the show, 5 points, well played.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Thank you.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Thank you very much indeed. Sam.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Sam, a warm welcome to you to Pointless.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- Thank you. - Now, you started out on Towie.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Well, you started out doing lots of things, I'm sure,
0:06:52 > 0:06:54but Towie was where you came to prominence.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Are you sort of still in Towie?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58You occasionally sort of drift back in, don't you?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01I left over a year ago now, so I haven't been back since.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05OK. And, Sam, you've got a chain of shops, you've got an online service,
0:07:05 > 0:07:08retailing and all sorts of things like that.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Was that sort of helped by Towie, do you think?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Of course, I always say that Towie was an amazing platform
0:07:13 > 0:07:15for everything that we've gone on to do,
0:07:15 > 0:07:17like with our products and our brand and stuff,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- so I'll always thank Towie for that. Yeah.- Fabulous.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Now, Sam, how are we feeling about cheese and biscuits?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25This is really, really hard for me.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28I'm just staring at it and I can just think of all the obvious...
0:07:28 > 0:07:31but I don't even think they're the right answers.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- I can't think of any.- You can make something up.- My mind's gone blank.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Make something up. It might be right.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39OK, the top one, I'll go with Stilton.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Stilton. As I said, it may be right.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Let's see how many of our 100 people said Stilton.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Look at that. There we go, Sam.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- How I got that... - That's how you play Pointless.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- 43, very well done. Good answer. - APPLAUSE
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Well played, Sam. Yeah, Stilton can only been made
0:08:01 > 0:08:04in Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Thanks very much indeed.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Now, then. Grace, lovely to have you here.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Now, is the world of fashion... Is it a backbiting,
0:08:13 > 0:08:15sort of forbidding...place?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17I think yes and no.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21You know, you are... You're only as bad as you are,
0:08:21 > 0:08:24so you have to decide what sort of person you're going to be
0:08:24 > 0:08:25within the fashion industry.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28And sometimes being a diva gets you further than you would imagine...
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- Well, of course. - ..and something it doesn't.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Well, that's right. If you're a critic, I suppose,
0:08:32 > 0:08:35and it's your job to stand - as it so often is yours -
0:08:35 > 0:08:37to stand at the side of the red carpet,
0:08:37 > 0:08:38you're going to have a lot more fun
0:08:38 > 0:08:41if you can find people wearing things you don't like.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Having been on the worst-dressed list myself quite a few times,
0:08:45 > 0:08:47I do know how much it stings.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49So, I think if you are going to tease people
0:08:49 > 0:08:51about what they are wearing, it has to be funny,
0:08:51 > 0:08:55it has to be in the name of humour, rather than just outright nasty,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58because being nasty is just not very nice, is it?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01No. No, actually, I was going to ask you right now, what do you...
0:09:01 > 0:09:05what do you think of our couture, Richard and I?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08You're wearing baby blue spots
0:09:08 > 0:09:11and Richard is wearing a shade of blancmange,
0:09:11 > 0:09:15which, you know, they're very, very complementary with each other,
0:09:15 > 0:09:17you know, the pastel shades are very spring-summer.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I'd say you've done really well.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21We're very fashion forward, aren't we, Richard, you and I?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23We are very fashion forward,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- we like to be seven degrees beyond trend.- Indeed.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Don't we?- Indeed.- That's where we are.- Very good.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Now, Grace...
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Erm, I think... I do know the answers to some of them,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36but I'm going to go with...
0:09:36 > 0:09:41biscuits originally made from pieces of leftover bread dough.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46Mostly because the answer involves a minor naughty word, I think.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- What is it?- Which is Dorset knobs.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- Dorset knobs.- Yes.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Oh, Jonathan is nodding. That's all you want.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54That is all you want to achieve.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Jonathan's nodding, let's see if Dorset knobs is right.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00It is right, very well done indeed.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Well, 43's our high score at this point.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04You pass it.
0:10:04 > 0:10:055 is our low.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08You pass it, look at that! Grace!
0:10:08 > 0:10:10APPLAUSE
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Dorset knobs...
0:10:12 > 0:10:14..scores you 2.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Terrific answer, Grace.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Very well played, very low score.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Yeah, take between eight and ten hours to be baked.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23It's also the name of the only punk band ever
0:10:23 > 0:10:25to come out of Wimborne Minster.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Have you heard of Dorset knobs?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- Dorset knobs, never have, no. - Never have.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Neither the band, nor the biscuit. - I tell you what, after the show
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- we'll both have to go and try some Dorset knobs.- Yeah.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38LAUGHTER Come on. Come on.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- Don't you think?- Yeah. Oh, dear.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- Lee. Now, Lee, welcome back. - Thank you.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45What happened last time you were on?
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- Do you remember how far you went? - I either went out first or second.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- I didn't do very well, basically. - You're looking impeccable.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- They're incredibly well groomed, aren't they?- Yes.- We do try!
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Lustrous, lustrous.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00What happens if you have a bad-hair day?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I mean, that's just unforgivable, isn't it?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Erm...it's not so bad for a man, is it?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Cos you can just grease your hair back,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09have a skinhead, and you're off.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I think it's a lot worse for a woman if she has a bad-hair day.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13For a guy, it's no big deal.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15I love the way you pointed at Grace
0:11:15 > 0:11:18as you said it's terrible for a woman to have a bad-hair day.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23- The, you've a whole range of products.- My pink babies.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- Do you... Do you use your own products?- Of course, mate.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- I'm wearing Messed Up today. - Are you?- Messed Up, yeah.- OK.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Now, listen, Lee, this board is all yours.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34If you wanted, you could talk us through it,
0:11:34 > 0:11:35fill in all the blanks for us.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Oh, don't. I mean, I love cheese as well,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39but I'm normally just eating it.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43But my family, my mum's family, are all Jewish,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46so I'm hoping I've got the last question right,
0:11:46 > 0:11:49the thin crisp biscuit,
0:11:49 > 0:11:51and I think that's called matzo.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Matzo, says Lee. Once again, Jonathan is nodding.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57This is good. Let's see if matzo's right,
0:11:57 > 0:12:00let's see how many of our 100 said matzo.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Matzo is absolutely right, Lee.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Very well done, indeed.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07You pass our high score...
0:12:07 > 0:12:08go down to 18.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Very nice.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11APPLAUSE
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Good end to the pass.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Well played, Lee. Now, between you,
0:12:17 > 0:12:20you've got the three lowest answers on that board.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23It's very impressive. This is not like Pointless Celebrities at all.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26LAUGHTER But let's fill in the rest of them.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- The flat, round cheese is...- Gouda.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- "Goo-da" or "gow-da".- Or "gow-da". - Would have scored a 38.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Our Dutch viewers will let us know which of those is right.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36The RL cheese...
0:12:36 > 0:12:37- Red Leicester.- Red Leicester.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Another big scorer. Would have scored 59.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41And the Ulysses...
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Is Gorgonzola.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Gorgonzola. And that would have scored you 26,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47so very well played, everyone, on that round.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Thanks very much, indeed. We're halfway through the round,
0:12:49 > 0:12:51so let's take a look at those scores.
0:12:51 > 0:12:552, Grace. Very well done to you. The best score of that pass. Superb.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Grace and Brendan looking very strong.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Then we travel up to 5, where we find Brix and Jonathan.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Then up to 18, Lee and Nicky.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Then, yes, Sam and Amy, you are on...
0:13:05 > 0:13:0743, yes. A little bit out in front.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09But, Amy, do what you can.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Find a nice low score and let's hope it keeps you in the game.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14We're going to come back down the line now.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22OK, let's put seven more cheeses and biscuits up on the board - and here they are.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58I'll read all those one more time.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35There we go. Now, Nicky, welcome.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Welcome, welcome, welcome. Also impeccably groomed, Nicky.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Who... Who does YOUR hair?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43That's the question. Who do you allow to do your hair?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46My girlfriend, Kelly, who works in the salon as well.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49When did you decide it was going to be hair? When did you...
0:14:49 > 0:14:52What age were you when you suddenly thought, "Actually, you know what?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55"Of all the..." Cos it... Style, it could have been anything, I suppose.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57I definitely think it must have been
0:14:57 > 0:15:00that article I read about Warren Beatty in 1972.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02That would have been the one. Shampoo.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Yeah. I was about 15, I think, at the time.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07And you thought, "That is what I'm going to do."
0:15:07 > 0:15:08And, blimey, have you done it?!
0:15:08 > 0:15:10And how? It's been fantastic.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12- What a career!- Well, it's still fantastic.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15It's a dream job. I mean, Lee will say the same thing.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17It's, like...you know...
0:15:17 > 0:15:18What other job do you get
0:15:18 > 0:15:21where someone tells you you're a genius half a dozen times a day?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23And you get to find out so much
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- about people's holidays as well, which is nice.- Exactly!
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- It doesn't help for this, though. - ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Now, you're on 18.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Lovely low scoring-ish, there, from Lee.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34But, yes, to keep you comfortably in the game, I'd say,
0:15:34 > 0:15:36if you can score 24 or less,
0:15:36 > 0:15:38you're definitely through to the next round.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Well, it's actually very embarrassing
0:15:40 > 0:15:43because I'm a really good cheese lover
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- and of course...- A good cheese lover, that sounds terrible.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48You know, I love cheese and the first set of questions,
0:15:48 > 0:15:51I knew every one, other than the Dorset knobs.
0:15:51 > 0:15:57Erm...I might just go for a semi-obvious one,
0:15:57 > 0:15:59and just hope that we stay safe.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02I'll go for the hard Italian cheese,
0:16:02 > 0:16:05I think...which I believe is Parmigiano, Parmesan.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Parmigiano, says Nicky. Let's see if that's right.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Here's your red line - if you can get below that with Parmesan,
0:16:10 > 0:16:11you're through to Round Two.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Let's see how many people said it.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16It's right.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21That looks good enough to me.
0:16:21 > 0:16:2244.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Takes your total up to 62.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Well played, Nicky. It's been into space, Parmesan cheese.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Two Italian astronauts took it on the space shuttle,
0:16:30 > 0:16:32then took it on to the International Space Station.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Was that just so they could have it on their space food?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- I don't think you could grate it... - No.- ..in space.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- Oh, it would go everywhere, wouldn't it?- That's not great, is it?
0:16:40 > 0:16:41ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Did one of them take Parmesan
0:16:43 > 0:16:46and the other one took a massive pepper grinder?
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Thanks very much. Now, Brendan.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Brilliant low-scoring by Grace in that first pass.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52Amazing. Incredible.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Amazing. Amazing. Now, Brendan, you,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58I read, designed your first dress at the age of 12.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Yes, I did, for my mother. - For your mother?- Yes.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Yeah, yeah. Which we still have, actually.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Is it in a museum? Or is it...?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06No, it's actually framed in my house.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- She gave it back to me. She still fits it.- Fantastic.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11And did you make it from scratch?
0:17:11 > 0:17:12No, I designed it, and my aunt knit it.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- It's all gone a bit Irish now, hasn't it?- Yeah!
0:17:14 > 0:17:19It was a flapper dress. It was, like, 1920s kind of style.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- Are you that old?- No.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23No, I just... I'm 87, I've had a lot of really good work.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- Very good. And you've brought The Clothes Show back.- Yes.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- The Clothes Show live.- Yes, we did The Clothes Show live together.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I did it for about nine years and, yeah,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35so I did bits and bobs of broadcasting here in the UK, yeah.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Wonderful, wonderful.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- Now, Brendan...- Yes?
0:17:38 > 0:17:402, lovely low score.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- 59 or less gets you into the next round.- Yeah.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Well, the irony is, I work in fashion,
0:17:46 > 0:17:50so I haven't eaten dairy or carbohydrate in 15 years.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52So I never eat cheese and I never eat biscuits.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56I do know the answer to the second one, it's very obvious,
0:17:56 > 0:17:58obviously cos I'm Irish,
0:17:58 > 0:18:00but I'm going to go for the top one,
0:18:00 > 0:18:02the Spanish sheep's-milk cheese
0:18:02 > 0:18:04that gets its name from the area of La Mancha,
0:18:04 > 0:18:06and I think it's Manchega.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09OK. Manchega, says Brendan.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12There is your horizontal streak of ash or soot,
0:18:12 > 0:18:14running through the centre of the column.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Let's see if Manchega is right,
0:18:16 > 0:18:19let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Ooh, no.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Bad luck, Brendan. For reasons that will be disclosed
0:18:25 > 0:18:29at the end of the round, that is an incorrect answer.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 102.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33Not all over yet, though.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Grace set you up very, very strongly early on.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Yeah, not Manchega,
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I'll give all the correct answers at the end of the pass.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41Thank you very much indeed.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- Now, Amy.- Hello.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47Amy, a very warm welcome to you.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Now, you stopped doing Towie quite a while ago, didn't you?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Yep. I was one of the first to go.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I just wanted to do my own thing, really.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56I love, like, the salon, the boutique,
0:18:56 > 0:18:58I've got my own clothing line out.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00So, yeah, I really miss it.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01Me and Sam, we do miss it, don't we?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- Cos we was the original cast. - We always watch it.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06We had an amazing time, but I wanted to do my own thing.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09And you've got your own salon, haven't you?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Yeah, I've got my own salon, I've got my own boutique, so...
0:19:11 > 0:19:15- Do you think you'll be expanding as well?- I would love to expand,
0:19:15 > 0:19:18I really would, so hopefully in the next year, couple of years.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Wonderful. Now, listen, you're on 43.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23102 is the high score - Brendan and Grace over there.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27So, 58 or less. 58 or less, Amy - that's easy, surely.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29I love cheese and biscuits, I really do,
0:19:29 > 0:19:31but I haven't got a clue about any of this.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33I'm going to go for the obvious answer.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- What are you going to go for? - I'm going to say
0:19:37 > 0:19:39savoury square biscuit,
0:19:39 > 0:19:42first marketed by W and R Jacob in Dublin...
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Carr's crackers.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Carr's crackers. Carr's crackers.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- OK...- It's easy, but I wouldn't have a clue otherwise.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Here's your red line,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53let's see if you get below that with Carr's crackers.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- Oh.- Oh, Amy, bad luck.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01You're going to kick yourself when you know what the answer is there,
0:20:01 > 0:20:03because you're not far off it.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05100 points, I'm afraid, that scores you - 143 is your total.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Sorry, Amy. Not Carr's crackers, I'm afraid.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Again, I'll give all the answers at the end of the round.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13OK. Now, Brix, welcome to Pointless.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Lovely to have you here.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Can I commend you on... I mean, how stylish!
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Look at that beautiful green there.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24That's a tone we don't often see often in this studio -
0:20:24 > 0:20:26an emerald green. What would you call that?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28I'd say it's kind of electric apple.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- I love those electric apples.- Yeah.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34- Yeah.- Granny Smith.- Very good indeed.- Stop it.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38- But, Brix, you were in The Fall, for heaven's sake.- Correct.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40You were in The Fall and here you are...
0:20:40 > 0:20:41You came over to the UK...
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Have you been resident of the UK for ages and ages and ages?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46I have, since 1983.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- Really?- Yeah.- So The Fall was English-based, then?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51I joined The Fall after they had done about five albums,
0:20:51 > 0:20:54and they brought me over to play guitar. So, yeah.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Amazing. Amazing, but then you went from that into fashion...
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- Yeah, I did.- You have... You have boutiques called Start.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- Called Start, yeah. - That's right. But then...
0:21:03 > 0:21:04you've gone back into music.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07You've got a band back together with various members of The Fall.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Yes, weirdly enough, I do.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10It's called Brix And The Extricated,
0:21:10 > 0:21:13and it's like some of the best members of The Fall.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15And we're doing old Fall songs that we wrote,
0:21:15 > 0:21:18plus new stuff, cos we're in the studio recording now.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- Fabulous. And touring? - It's fun. And touring.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Brilliant. Good news for you is you're through to the next round,
0:21:23 > 0:21:25- no matter what you score.- Yay!
0:21:25 > 0:21:27But, Brix, I think you'll probably know quite a few.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Do you fancy talking us through the board,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32and then you can select the one you want to submit?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Spanish sheep's-milk cheese
0:21:34 > 0:21:36that gets its name from the area of La Mancha
0:21:36 > 0:21:38is Manchego.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43Savoury square biscuits are, erm, cream crackers.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Er, Wallace and Gromit one is Wensleydale.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51The French cow's milk, which I'm sure is the lowest answer,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53with the soot running through it, I do not know.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I cannot think. I cannot, either, think of the other savoury biscuit,
0:21:56 > 0:21:59which I'm probably going to kick myself.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Parmigiano, and then the final one is Stinking Bishop,
0:22:02 > 0:22:05- which is going to be my answer. - Stinking Bishop.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07No red line for you, as you're the low-scorers anyway,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09and you're already through.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Let's see how many of our 100 said Stinking Bishop.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15It's right, Stinking Bishop...
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Look at that! 7.
0:22:22 > 0:22:257, what a brilliant score on this first podium.
0:22:25 > 0:22:2612, well done.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Great answer, Brix. Yeah, Stinking Bishop, named after a pear,
0:22:32 > 0:22:35which in turn was named after a farmer called Frederick Bishop,
0:22:35 > 0:22:37who had a notoriously bad temper.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Brix Smith And The Stinking Bishops is a good name for a band,
0:22:40 > 0:22:43not as good as Brix Smith And The Dorset Knobs.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- Oh, my God. - That would be even better.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49You took us through the board very nicely, so let's do the scoring.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Yeah, Brendan, Manchego is the answer. There's a Manchega sheep,
0:22:51 > 0:22:53but Manchego is the cheese.
0:22:53 > 0:22:558 points for that. And, yeah,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58it is cream crackers that Jacob's brought out in Dublin.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Would have scored you 35.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Wensleydale's the biggest scorer on the board.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Would have scored 56.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07Do you know M at all?
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- Do you know the cheese with the soot.- No, I don't.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13It's Morbier. Morbier. It's the best answer.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- 1 point, if you got that at home. BRIX:- I knew it!
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- And the biscuit...- Bath Oliver.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Is a Bath Oliver.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21And that would have scored you 11 points.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Thank you very much indeed.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24So, at the end of our first round,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27the pair heading home with their high score of 143, Amy and Sam.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- I'm so sorry.- Ohh.- Oh, Sam, that was great with Stilton, though.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- Thank you.- I thought you were going to make it over the line.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- Yeah, I wasn't sure. - Cream crackers...
0:23:35 > 0:23:37I got the brand in, I got the brand.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Yeah. Well, listen, we have to say goodbye to you now,
0:23:39 > 0:23:40but please come back and play again.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41- Thank you.- Thank you so much.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44It's been lovely having you on the show. Thanks so much, Amy and Sam.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53APPLAUSE
0:23:55 > 0:23:59You'll have noticed that, magically, one of our couples has disappeared,
0:23:59 > 0:24:00we're now down to three pairs.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02At the end of this round, equally magically,
0:24:02 > 0:24:04we'll be down to two pairs.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Well, listen, I've got plaudits to hand out. Congratu...
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Grace, congratulations to you, our lowest individual score.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Well done, Brix and Jonathan for our lowest combined scores.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Very well done indeed.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18And very, very well done, Nicky and Lee,
0:24:18 > 0:24:20for that just beautiful hair.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21- For scraping through.- Great.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Looking fabulous. Lovely to have you in Round Two.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Our category for Round Two this evening...
0:24:27 > 0:24:29is Countries.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31- Ohh.- Countries. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:24:31 > 0:24:33who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:24:33 > 0:24:37And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41OK, let's find out what the question is - here it comes.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many countries of the world
0:24:45 > 0:24:48whose first vowel is an O as they could.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Countries of the world whose first vowel is an O.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Yeah, looking for the name of any country in the world
0:24:54 > 0:24:57whose common short-form name in English has as its first vowel an O.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59As always, by country we mean a sovereign state
0:24:59 > 0:25:01that's a member of the UN in its own right.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Obviously the country doesn't have to begin with O,
0:25:04 > 0:25:05or it would be a very short round,
0:25:05 > 0:25:07just as long as its first vowel is a O.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Jonathan, Jonathan.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- It's a tough one, this, isn't it? - It is a tough one.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17You have the expression of someone who hasn't yet found an answer.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19No, I'm not quite grasping... Georgia?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Or not?- Nnnn...erm...no.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- No, sorry, I... - Well, I don't know, I don't know.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- I'm going to have to take that, Jonathan.- Oh...
0:25:27 > 0:25:30OK, I'm going to have to take Georgia, I'm really sorry.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- Not as sorry as I am. - Oh...well...- Or me.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35..let's see what happens with Georgia.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38HE LAUGHS
0:25:40 > 0:25:41- Sorry, Jonathan.- There's a surprise.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44For reasons I'm sure that will be perfectly plain to you,
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- that is an incorrect answer. - That's cruel.- It is cruel.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48- And scores 100.- Sorry, Jonathan.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- It does sound like its first vowel is an O.- It does.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52But it's an E, of course.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54It's a terrific answer for a round
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- countries whose first vowel is an E, though.- Yes.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58I'm so embarrassed.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02Grace, Jonathan has taken one for the team there, I would say.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05He's given you an abject lesson in what not to go for,
0:26:05 > 0:26:08and he's given you a little bit of time.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09And he's given you a margin -
0:26:09 > 0:26:13a buffer of 100 points between you and leaving the show.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17No pressure! I can think of two.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19- This is good.- I think it's about choosing the one
0:26:19 > 0:26:20that is going to have...
0:26:20 > 0:26:23is...be the most pointless, which they're both up there.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27So I'm going to go with Norway.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- Norway?- Yeah.- Norway, there we are.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30First vowel very much an O,
0:26:30 > 0:26:32let's see how many of our 100 people said Norway.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37It's right.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41And it scores 37.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43APPLAUSE
0:26:44 > 0:26:4537 for Norway.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Well played, Grace. Safe and sound. The Disney animators behind Frozen,
0:26:49 > 0:26:52that's all based on Norway and Norwegian geography
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- and Norwegian architecture.- Mmm.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Lee, Lee,
0:26:57 > 0:27:01countries whose first vowels are Os.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Erm, I'm going to go with Bosnia.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Bosnia, says Lee.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09Bosnia, let's see how many of our 100 people said Bosnia.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12It's right.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- 9. - APPLAUSE
0:27:22 > 0:27:259 for Bosnia.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Well played, Lee. We're getting into this now, aren't we?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Yeah, Bosnia, its full name is Bosnia-Herzegovina,
0:27:29 > 0:27:31but we always accept Bosnia on the show.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Thank you very much. Well, we're halfway through the round,
0:27:34 > 0:27:36let's take a look at those scores. Lee, the best score of the pass.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Lee and Nicky looking very strong at this point,
0:27:39 > 0:27:40then up to 37 where we find Grace and Brendan,
0:27:40 > 0:27:42and then up to 100, Jonathan and Brix.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44The round is not over yet, though.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45The round is not over yet,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48so, Brix, good luck finding a nice low scoring country
0:27:48 > 0:27:50whose first vowel is an O.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52We're coming back down the line now.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Nicky. You're in very, very good shape, thanks to Lee there.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04I strongly suspect you will be in the head-to-head.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07But let's have a nice low-scoring answer from you.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11There's a few, but there might be a couple that might be a state.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13I'm going to go for Jordan.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Jordan, says Nicky.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Two very good answers from that far podium.
0:28:17 > 0:28:18Here's your red line, nice and high.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Get below that with Jordan, you're in the head-to-head.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25There we are, you've done it.
0:28:30 > 0:28:31Good answer, 8.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Even lower than Bosnia Herzegovina.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Takes your total up to 17, very well done.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Great answer, Nicky. Look at the experience on that last podium,
0:28:41 > 0:28:44getting them safely through. Yeah, Jordan, the first vowel is an O.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46If you'd given us the alternative name,
0:28:46 > 0:28:47which is of course Katie Price,
0:28:47 > 0:28:50the first vowel is an A in that.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52- Wouldn't have been correct. - Judiciously done there.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Now, Brendan, 37 is your score.
0:28:55 > 0:28:5862 more or less sees you through.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00I have two.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03But I think they're both obvious.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05I can't think of any others, other than those ones.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07So I'm going to go with what I think
0:29:07 > 0:29:09might be the least obvious by its sound,
0:29:09 > 0:29:11so I'm going to say Portugal.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Portugal, says Brendan. Here's your red line.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16If you get below that with Portugal, you're in the head-to-head.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Let's see how many of our 100 said Portugal.
0:29:20 > 0:29:21It's right.
0:29:22 > 0:29:23And you're through.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28There we are, 25.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31Taking your total up to 62.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Well played, Brendan. Safe and sound.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37The largest wave ever surfed was off the coast of Portugal.
0:29:37 > 0:29:3978ft-high.
0:29:39 > 0:29:40That's too big.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Well, it turns out it wasn't.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44- Turns out it was just big enough. - Just big enough.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47- Thanks, Richard. Now, Brix, I have woeful news for you...- Yes.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49..which is that you are the high-scorers,
0:29:49 > 0:29:51even before you've given your brilliant answer.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53I can only apologise. I'm sorry.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57Now, Brix, you've had time to come up with a cracking answer.
0:29:57 > 0:29:58What would you like to go for?
0:29:58 > 0:30:00- Mozambique. - You see? There we go.
0:30:00 > 0:30:01- And let's see.- There we go.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05No red line, I'm sorry to say, because you're our high-scorers.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06Oh, I wish I knew what points I had.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09But Mozambique, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12It's right.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16It's a lovely answer, Brix.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18I have every confidence this will go a long way down.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21There we go, 6. There's your answer.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24And 106 is your total.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Yes, lowest-scoring answer of the round, Brix, very well played.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32There's actually only one pointless answer on the whole board.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Very well done anyone at home who said Solomon Islands.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38That's the pointless answer. I'll give you some of the low-scorers.
0:30:38 > 0:30:39You'd have got 1 for Cote d'Ivoire,
0:30:39 > 0:30:41you'd have got 2 for the Comoros,
0:30:41 > 0:30:44you'd have got 2 for Dominica, you would have got 5 for Costa Rica,
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Dominican Republic and Slovakia and Slovenia.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50They're always together, Slovakia and Slovenia, like Laurel and Hardy.
0:30:50 > 0:30:536 for Mozambique, we've seen 7 points Honduras, Montenegro,
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Togo and Croatia,
0:30:55 > 0:30:59and 8 points for Jordan, Moldova and North Korea.
0:30:59 > 0:31:00Thanks very much, Richard.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04So, at the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home -
0:31:04 > 0:31:07oh, they're our star pair. Lovely low scoring we've had from you.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09- You'll just have to come back. - Yes, please.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Come back. It's been lovely having you on.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Thank you so much. Brix and Jonathan.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19But, for Nicky and Lee, Grace and Brendan,
0:31:19 > 0:31:21it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Congratulations, Nicky and Lee, Grace and Brendan.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28You're now one step closer to the final
0:31:28 > 0:31:30and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:31:30 > 0:31:32which currently stands at £2,500.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34AUDIENCE WHOOPS
0:31:36 > 0:31:39So, here's the point we decide who goes through to the final
0:31:39 > 0:31:40and plays for that jackpot,
0:31:40 > 0:31:42and we do this by making you go head-to-head.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44But the difference is you're now allowed to confer
0:31:44 > 0:31:45before you give your answers.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Best of luck. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:31:56 > 0:32:01OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:32:01 > 0:32:02Madonna.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03Madonna. Richard?
0:32:03 > 0:32:05I'm simply going to show you five images now
0:32:05 > 0:32:08of people who have some connection with Madonna.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11You need to tell us the most obscure of these five, please.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14OK, let's reveal our five people with connections to Madonna.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16And here they are.
0:32:16 > 0:32:17We have...
0:32:34 > 0:32:37There we are. Five people with connections to Madonna.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Now, Nicky and Lee, you've been our low-scorers
0:32:39 > 0:32:41throughout the show, so you get to go first.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47Let's go, I'm hoping this is right, because we do know all of them...
0:32:49 > 0:32:50Let's go for B, Eva Peron.
0:32:52 > 0:32:53Eva Peron.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Eva Peron, say Nicky and Lee.
0:32:55 > 0:32:56Now, Grace and Brendan,
0:32:56 > 0:32:58talk us through the rest of that board, if you can.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Well, we know all of them except the last one.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Obviously Britney she duetted with,
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Justin Timberlake she duetted with,
0:33:05 > 0:33:06she was married to Sean Penn.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08The last one I think is her brother.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11The teeth, it's something about the teeth, but I don't know who he is.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Let's go with C, I trust you.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15You like Madonna,
0:33:15 > 0:33:16you know a lot about Madonna.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18- Let's go with D, let's go Sean Penn.- Oh.- Yeah.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20- OK, so were going to go with D, Sean Penn.- Yeah.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22So, we have Sean Penn and we have Eva Peron,
0:33:22 > 0:33:25but the other way around. Nicky and Lee said Eva Peron.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28I'm just hoping it is actually her and not her mother!
0:33:28 > 0:33:29LAUGHTER
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Let's find out, is that Eva Peron?
0:33:33 > 0:33:34It's right, good answer.
0:33:39 > 0:33:4125.
0:33:44 > 0:33:4525 for Eva Peron.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Meanwhile, Grace and Brendan have said Sean Penn for D.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Let's see if that's right,
0:33:50 > 0:33:53let's see how many people said Sean Penn.
0:33:53 > 0:33:54It's right.
0:33:57 > 0:34:0057 for Sean Penn. Very well done, Eva Peron wins that one.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03So, Nicky and Lee, after one question, you're up 1-0.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Yeah, only one answer there that would have beaten Eva Peron
0:34:06 > 0:34:07and, as you can imagine, it is E.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09We'll get on to him.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11A is Britney Spears.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14She would have scored you 64.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Justin Timberlake would've actually been the lowest answer
0:34:17 > 0:34:19of the ones you knew. He would have scored you 48.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22And the last one, he produced a number of her tracks,
0:34:22 > 0:34:25including Ray Of Light - it's William Orbit.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28It's a pointless answer, very well done if you said that.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30OK, here comes your second question.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Grace and Brendan, you get to answer it first,
0:34:32 > 0:34:35but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Our second question this evening
0:34:37 > 0:34:39concerns novels first published in the Eighties.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Novels first published in the Eighties. Richard?
0:34:42 > 0:34:44I'm going to show you a list of five novels now.
0:34:44 > 0:34:45But all we're going to do
0:34:45 > 0:34:47is give you the initials of the novel and the author.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Can you tell us what the novel is, please?
0:34:49 > 0:34:52OK, thanks very much. Let's reveal our five novels in initial form -
0:34:52 > 0:34:55and here they are.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09I'll read those all one last time.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Grace and Brendan will go first.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24- So, um, yeah?- Yeah.- OK.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28So, I can answer some of them,
0:35:28 > 0:35:30but we are going to go
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Love In The Time Of Cholera
0:35:33 > 0:35:35by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Love In The Time Of Cholera, say Grace and Brendan.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Now then, Nicky and Lee?
0:35:40 > 0:35:43I think I know the Stephen King one. I think.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47And I think I know the Roald Dahl one.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50OK, I'll take the flak if it's wrong.
0:35:50 > 0:35:51Matilda.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54You're going to say Matilda for Roald Dahl.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57OK. Grace and Brendan have gone for Love In The Time Of Cholera,
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Nicky and Lee for Matilda. Let's see, Grace and Brendan,
0:36:00 > 0:36:02if Love In The Time Of Cholera is right.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06It most certainly is right.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10How far down the column are you going to get with that?
0:36:10 > 0:36:13Oh, look at that, very good answer, 10.
0:36:14 > 0:36:1610 for Love In The Time Of Cholera.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20Now, Nicky and Lee ended up going for Matilda for Roald Dahl.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26It's right.
0:36:29 > 0:36:3260 for Matilda.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Well done, Grace and Brendan, that's exactly what we needed from you.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37You're back in the game after two questions. It's 1-1.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Another terrific answer.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Yeah, again, only one answer would have beaten that.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43It's not the third one down. The third one down is...
0:36:43 > 0:36:44The Bourne Identity.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47The Bourne Identity. Would've scored you 31.
0:36:47 > 0:36:48Let's go to the bottom one next.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52It is It. It was a big scorer - would have scored you 71.
0:36:52 > 0:36:53And the best answer -
0:36:53 > 0:36:55it's the follow-up to The Godfather, this book,
0:36:55 > 0:36:57and it is The Sicilian.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Would've scored you 6 points.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03Very good. Thank you, Richard. Here comes your third question.
0:37:03 > 0:37:04Best of luck to both pairs,
0:37:04 > 0:37:08cos whoever wins this goes through to the final. It concerns...
0:37:09 > 0:37:12Audrey Hepburn. Audrey Hepburn, Richard.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Simply going to show you five clues now to facts about Audrey Hepburn.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17The pair that gives us the lowest answer
0:37:17 > 0:37:18is going through to play for the jackpot,
0:37:18 > 0:37:20so very best of luck, everybody.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Thanks, Richard. Let's reveal our five clues - and here they come.
0:37:40 > 0:37:41I'll read those one last time.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Now then, Nicky and Lee will go first.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Let's go for the last one. UNICEF.
0:38:03 > 0:38:04- Is that right?- Mm.- OK.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08We are going to go for the last one, I think,
0:38:08 > 0:38:11the charity for which Hepburn was a goodwill ambassador,
0:38:11 > 0:38:14and I'm just hoping it'll be right, otherwise Lee is going to kill me.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Whether it's going to be a good enough answer, I don't know,
0:38:17 > 0:38:18but let's go for UNICEF.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20UNICEF, say Nicky and Lee.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23UNICEF. Now, Grace and Brendan.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Shockingly, I have no idea what the first one is.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28I think I kind of know the second one.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30We have a vague idea.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33You can say it, you can talk us through all the answers.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37So, well, I was going to say that would have been California, but...
0:38:37 > 0:38:39I think it was Switzerland.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40Retirement. We think retirement...
0:38:40 > 0:38:42France.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45The Yorkshire Terrier, not a clue.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48I'm not even familiar too much with that film.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49Oh, it's Rex.
0:38:51 > 0:38:52It's just come to me now.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55- Was it Rex Harrison?- Rex Harrison. - Is that it?- Yeah.- OK.- Rex Harrison.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59OK, the actor who played Professor Henry Higgins is Rex Harrison.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01That's one you're going to go for? Rex Harrison.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03So, we have UNICEF and we have Rex Harrison.
0:39:03 > 0:39:04So, Nicky and Lee said UNICEF.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said UNICEF.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11It's right.
0:39:17 > 0:39:1918 for UNICEF, very well done.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24Good answer. Now, Grace and Brendan, meanwhile,
0:39:24 > 0:39:27have gone for Rex Harrison. Let's see if that's right,
0:39:27 > 0:39:29- let's see how many people said Rex Harrison.- Yeah.
0:39:31 > 0:39:32It's right.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39Beat 18. Oh, 28 for Rex Harrison.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Two good answers there, but UNICEF pips it.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Nicky and Lee, well done. After three questions,
0:39:45 > 0:39:48- you're through to the final, 2-1. - Well played, Nicky and Lee.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Now, if we'd forced you to go for the country she lived in,
0:39:50 > 0:39:52- what would you have gone for? - Switzerland.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55If you'd said Switzerland, you'd now be in the final.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58It's a correct answer and would have scored you 12 points.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00- The first one is...- Holly Golightly.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03Holly Golightly. That would have scored 26 points.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07And the best answer on the board, unsurprisingly, is the dog.
0:40:07 > 0:40:111 point for the rather ironically named Mr Famous.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13AUDIENCE GROANS
0:40:13 > 0:40:16Thanks very much, Richard. So, the pair leaving us
0:40:16 > 0:40:18at the head-to-head round, Grace and Brendan.
0:40:18 > 0:40:23What a career described by your Pointless appearance this time.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26You've been so nearly out and then, oh, back in,
0:40:26 > 0:40:28rescued by our Towie friends.
0:40:29 > 0:40:34It's good to leave the former losers to point to maybe become winners
0:40:34 > 0:40:37cos they're still losers right now.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39I know what you're saying, I know what you're saying,
0:40:39 > 0:40:42and next time when you come back, you can then go through to the final
0:40:42 > 0:40:44which will be nice. That will be fitting.
0:40:44 > 0:40:45It's been lovely having you on.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Grace and Brendan, wonderful contestants, thank you.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53But for Nicky and Lee, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00Congratulations, Nicky and Lee, you've seen off all the competition
0:41:00 > 0:41:02and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Fantastic. Listen, you now have the chance to win
0:41:10 > 0:41:12our Pointless jackpot for your charities,
0:41:12 > 0:41:16and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,500.
0:41:16 > 0:41:17There we are.
0:41:17 > 0:41:18AUDIENCE WHOOPS
0:41:21 > 0:41:24Well, listen, you've been on before, both of you, gone away,
0:41:24 > 0:41:26- changed partners, come back together...- Yeah.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29..right through to the head-to-head and beyond
0:41:29 > 0:41:30to the final. I mean, fantastic.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33What do you want to see come up in this last round?
0:41:33 > 0:41:34What can we dish up for you?
0:41:34 > 0:41:35- Hair.- Hair.
0:41:37 > 0:41:38That would be weird.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40I'm not sure that would be, actually!
0:41:40 > 0:41:44- Sausages, we said.- Sausages, there you go.- Hair and sausages.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Sadly, we had that last week, but still, who knows?
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Something will be up there, I hope, that you like the look of.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Four things for you to choose from, as ever.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Today's selection looks like this.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Classic Motown, we would probably be about the same on that.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07We would probably get our... You know...
0:42:07 > 0:42:11You know your Marvin Gayes, you know your Diana Rosses.
0:42:11 > 0:42:12Yeah, little bit. A little bit.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Should we go for it and see?
0:42:14 > 0:42:17It's more likely that we'll probably know something.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19- Come on, let's do that. - We'll go for Classic Motown.
0:42:19 > 0:42:20Classic Motown it is. Rich.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Well, you're saying that you know your Diana Ross,
0:42:23 > 0:42:24you know your Marvin Gaye.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27Let's see if that will help you on these three questions.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29We're looking for any of the tracks
0:42:29 > 0:42:33on the original release of Diana Ross' album Diana from 1980.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35We're looking for any of the tracks from the original release
0:42:35 > 0:42:38of Stevie Wonder's Talking Book from 1972.
0:42:38 > 0:42:39Or we're looking for any of the tracks
0:42:39 > 0:42:43on Marvin Gaye's What's Going On from 1971.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45So, any of the tracks on the original release
0:42:45 > 0:42:47of any of those three albums, please.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49- Very best of luck, gents. - Thanks very much.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51OK, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:42:51 > 0:42:52to come up with three answers.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55All we need for you to win that jackpot for your charities
0:42:55 > 0:42:59is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:42:59 > 0:43:01OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03There they are. Your time starts now.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05Tracks on Marvin Gaye's What's Going On.
0:43:05 > 0:43:09- Well, Heard It Through The Grapevine, I think.- Yeah.
0:43:09 > 0:43:14Talking Book, Stevie Wonder, I'm assuming Superstition might be on.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16- HE HUMS:- # Very superstitious... #
0:43:16 > 0:43:20- And what's the other one? - Tracks on Diana Ross's Diana.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23What's the... Um, what's...?
0:43:23 > 0:43:25River Deep, Mountain High.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27Is it that one?
0:43:27 > 0:43:28Don't know.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31We shouldn't have chosen this one, should we?!
0:43:31 > 0:43:33What's the other ones on Stevie Wonder?
0:43:33 > 0:43:35What's the other tracks?
0:43:37 > 0:43:39What was... You know the Marvin Gaye one,
0:43:39 > 0:43:41what was the one that thingy got done just recently?
0:43:41 > 0:43:43- I'm pretty sure... - Because he copied it.
0:43:43 > 0:43:47- What was it? Pharrell.- Don't know.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49Heard It Through The Grapevine,
0:43:49 > 0:43:50I'm pretty sure.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55- But we need three, though, don't we?- We do need three.
0:43:55 > 0:43:57What's the Diana Ross tune?
0:44:01 > 0:44:03It's the other one. What's that?
0:44:03 > 0:44:06OK, that's your time up. Let's have three answers from you now.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08And if you say which album you are submitting.
0:44:08 > 0:44:11OK, I'll do the first one, tracks on Diana Ross's Diana.
0:44:11 > 0:44:14- I'm Coming Out.- I'm Coming Out.
0:44:14 > 0:44:16Yes. Talking Book, let's do...
0:44:17 > 0:44:20- ..Superstition.- Superstition.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22And What's Going On...hopefully, Heard It Through The Grapevine.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25Heard It Through The Grapevine. OK, three answers there.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:44:28 > 0:44:30Marvin Gaye. No, no, that's too obvious.
0:44:30 > 0:44:31OK, we'll put Marvin Gaye first.
0:44:31 > 0:44:33Heard It Through The Grapevine can go first.
0:44:33 > 0:44:35He's the least likely to be pointless.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37Which one's your best shot at pointless?
0:44:37 > 0:44:39Let's try the Diana one as our hopeful.
0:44:39 > 0:44:41OK, so we're going I'm Coming Out.
0:44:41 > 0:44:42I'm Coming Out. OK, we'll put that last.
0:44:42 > 0:44:45OK, let's pop those answers up on the board in that order, then.
0:44:45 > 0:44:49and here they are. We've got I Heard It Through The Grapevine,
0:44:49 > 0:44:50Superstition and I'm Coming Out.
0:44:50 > 0:44:53Well, very best of luck. Three good answers on the board.
0:44:53 > 0:44:54Let's hope one of those is pointless
0:44:54 > 0:44:56and wins that jackpot for your charities.
0:44:56 > 0:44:59What charities are you playing for? Nicky, what are you playing for?
0:44:59 > 0:45:02I'm going to split mine, if it was to happen,
0:45:02 > 0:45:04between Fight for Life and Lupus UK.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06- Very good. Lee? - Mine is a charity called Basic.
0:45:06 > 0:45:09It's a head-injury charity in Manchester.
0:45:09 > 0:45:11Very good indeed.
0:45:15 > 0:45:17Three great charities there.
0:45:17 > 0:45:20Let's hope one of these answers wins that jackpot for your charities.
0:45:20 > 0:45:22Fingers crossed. Your first answer,
0:45:22 > 0:45:24the one you thought was least likely to be pointless,
0:45:24 > 0:45:26was I Heard It Through The Grapevine.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29In this case, we were looking from tracks from What's Going On.
0:45:29 > 0:45:32If it's correct, and if it is pointless, it will win you £2,500.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35How many people said I Heard It Through The Grapevine?
0:45:37 > 0:45:38Oh.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42- Well...- Not a good start. Good song, wrong album.
0:45:42 > 0:45:44Yes, exactly. There we are.
0:45:44 > 0:45:46So, two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:45:46 > 0:45:49Your second answer was Superstition.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52In this case, we were looking for tracks from Talking Book.
0:45:52 > 0:45:54For £2,500,
0:45:54 > 0:45:56how many people said Superstition? Is it pointless?
0:45:58 > 0:45:59It's right.
0:46:01 > 0:46:02Well, your first answer,
0:46:02 > 0:46:05I Heard It Through The Grapevine, was incorrect.
0:46:05 > 0:46:07But Superstition is absolutely bang on track, down it goes,
0:46:07 > 0:46:09into single figures, we're still going down.
0:46:09 > 0:46:127. 7 for Superstition.
0:46:12 > 0:46:13Oh! There we are.
0:46:13 > 0:46:16- There we are. This is more the ballpark, isn't it?- Yes!
0:46:19 > 0:46:21Very good. Unfortunately, not a pointless answer.
0:46:21 > 0:46:23But a really strong answer there.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25If you can keep that up with your third answer,
0:46:25 > 0:46:27the one you put in pole position, let's face it,
0:46:27 > 0:46:30the one you thought was your best shot at a pointless answer,
0:46:30 > 0:46:32we might be on to something. I'm Coming Out. In this case,
0:46:32 > 0:46:35we were looking for anything from Diana Ross' album Diana.
0:46:35 > 0:46:39For £2,500, how many people said I'm Coming Out?
0:46:39 > 0:46:40Is it pointless?
0:46:42 > 0:46:43It's right.
0:46:45 > 0:46:47OK, I Heard It Through The Grapevine was incorrect,
0:46:47 > 0:46:50but Superstition was absolutely right.
0:46:50 > 0:46:52That took us the way down to 7.
0:46:52 > 0:46:55I'm Coming Out now takes us, passing 7, down...
0:46:55 > 0:46:56AUDIENCE GASPS
0:46:58 > 0:47:01NICKY LAUGHS
0:47:01 > 0:47:04I tell you what, that is a very, very creditable performance
0:47:04 > 0:47:06in this last round.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08As ever, we've had low score after low score from you,
0:47:08 > 0:47:09right through the game.
0:47:09 > 0:47:13- Unfortunately, you just narrowly... - It's been fun, though.
0:47:13 > 0:47:14..didn't find that pointless answer.
0:47:14 > 0:47:16I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot.
0:47:16 > 0:47:18But, as today's show is a celebrity special,
0:47:18 > 0:47:21all of our celebrities are playing for a nominated charity,
0:47:21 > 0:47:24we're going to donate £500 to each celebrity pair
0:47:24 > 0:47:26for their respective charities.
0:47:26 > 0:47:27And brilliant to have you on.
0:47:27 > 0:47:30And you get to take home those coveted Pointless trophies,
0:47:30 > 0:47:32so there we are, it is all good. Richard.
0:47:32 > 0:47:34Well played, gents. Played brilliantly from start to finish.
0:47:34 > 0:47:36Been a pleasure having you here.
0:47:36 > 0:47:37I Heard It Through The Grapevine
0:47:37 > 0:47:40is from the Marvin Gaye album In The Groove, I'm afraid.
0:47:40 > 0:47:41Let's take a look at the pointless answers,
0:47:41 > 0:47:43see how well people did at home.
0:47:43 > 0:47:45Diana Ross album. Give Up, Have Fun (Again),
0:47:45 > 0:47:47Now That You're Gone and Tenderness.
0:47:47 > 0:47:50Those were the four pointless answers on that album.
0:47:50 > 0:47:52Stevie Wonder, a few big ones here. Blame It On The Sun.
0:47:52 > 0:47:55I Believe (When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever).
0:47:55 > 0:47:57Looking For Another Pure Love.
0:47:57 > 0:47:58And You Are The Sunshine Of My Life
0:47:58 > 0:48:00was a pointless answer, unbelievably.
0:48:00 > 0:48:03And there's four pointless answers on the last one as well.
0:48:03 > 0:48:04Flyin' High was a pointless answer.
0:48:04 > 0:48:06Right On, Save The Children
0:48:06 > 0:48:07and Wholy Holy.
0:48:07 > 0:48:09Very, very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:48:09 > 0:48:11- Terrific work.- Thanks, Richard.
0:48:11 > 0:48:13Well, unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to Nicky and Lee.
0:48:13 > 0:48:15But it's been such a treat having you on the show,
0:48:15 > 0:48:18and a fantastic performance right from the beginning.
0:48:18 > 0:48:20Thank you so much for coming on and playing, Nicky and Lee.
0:48:24 > 0:48:25Join us next time
0:48:25 > 0:48:29when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:48:29 > 0:48:31- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:48:31 > 0:48:33And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:48:33 > 0:48:35APPLAUSE
