0:00:26 > 0:00:28to this Pointless Celebrities edition,
0:00:28 > 0:00:31the show where obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:31 > 0:00:32and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Let's meet today's Pointless celebrities.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37APPLAUSE
0:00:40 > 0:00:42And couple number one.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Hello, I'm Rich Hall,

0:00:49 > 0:00:51Er...
0:00:51 > 0:00:53keen trout fisherman...
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Trout. If there are any questions about trout, boom!
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hello, I'm Shappi Khorsandi and I'm a stand-up comedian
0:01:03 > 0:01:06and aspiring furniture restorer.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08APPLAUSE
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Couple number two.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Hello, I'm Sian Lloyd,
0:01:14 > 0:01:17weather presenter of the international variety.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19I'm also writing a novel
0:01:19 > 0:01:22about a deeply ambitious, vicious weather girl.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- AUDIENCE:- Ooh...
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Hi, I'm Fred MacAulay. I'm a stand-up comedian,
0:01:27 > 0:01:29home international variety,
0:01:29 > 0:01:33and currently working on my Scottish accent.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Couple number three.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Hello, I'm Mark King,
0:01:40 > 0:01:44a musician of the international variety and home-grown...
0:01:45 > 0:01:47..with Level 42. Thank you.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50APPLAUSE
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Hello, I'm Stuart Maconie,
0:01:54 > 0:01:58I'm a writer and a broadcaster, primarily with Radio 6 Music,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01and I'm working on a novel about a trout
0:02:01 > 0:02:04who wants to become a weather presenter.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:02:09 > 0:02:11And finally, couple number four.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15We are the fast and female speed demons, I'm Chemmy Alcott,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18four-time Olympian, TV presenter and challenge doer.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20And I'm Amy Williams,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23gold medallist from the Vancouver Olympics
0:02:23 > 0:02:26and now Gadget Show presenter.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27APPLAUSE
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Thanks very much, all of you.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32We'll find out more about each of you throughout the show
0:02:32 > 0:02:33as it goes along.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36That just leaves one more person for me to introduce -
0:02:36 > 0:02:39a man so clever that small talk to him is only visible
0:02:39 > 0:02:42through a microscope. It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Hiya. Good evening, everybody.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Good evening.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Oh, good evening to you. - And to you.- This will be fun.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52It's a wide-open field, this one.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- Isn't it?- You would think podium four would win it,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57because they are two Olympians. Fantastic.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00And also, sports people are always incredibly competitive, always.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- And incredibly sneaky.- Yes. - So watch out for that, everyone.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Podium three, it's interesting.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07These gents, they've both been on before, Mark and Stuart.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Both very, very bright,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11but both got knocked out in Round One.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15But put them together...
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Round One.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19You'd have thought so. Round Two, at best.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21You know what? They should win. They've got everything you need.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24And a gold shirt, from Mr King there.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26And a gold shirt. I mean, you haven't got a gold medal,
0:03:26 > 0:03:29which is slightly more impressive, but you've got a gold shirt.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Nothing wrong with that. Sian's actually our best returning player.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33- Sian's been in a head-to-head.- Yes.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36And she's brought with her the pride of Scotland, Fred MacAulay.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39You would think, if she's been to the head-to-head without Fred...
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Were you with Michael Fish last time?- With Michael Fish, yes.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Fred, are you cleverer than Michael Fish?
0:03:44 > 0:03:45That's the question we ask ourselves.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- We'll find out.- We will. We are about to find out.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50I'm still here, though. He's gone.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Rich caught him.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55And podium one, Rich and Shappi,
0:03:55 > 0:03:58two of the best stand-ups in the country.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Rich also may be the grumpiest person we've ever had on the show,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04which is great. It just gives you a challenge as a host, you know?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Professionally grumpy, I hope.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08But as a host, you need to...
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Just melt him.- Oh, thanks. - You can do that, can't you?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Yes, yes.- Actually, you'll be brilliant at it.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- Thank you very much indeed, Richard. - Round One...
0:04:16 > 0:04:18What you're saying is, we don't have a chance.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20What I'm saying is, certainly, if I had £50 to put on a pair,
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I might start elsewhere.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- That's all I'm saying, but...- You already said they were going to win.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Stranger things... Yeah, but I'm always wrong.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- They've got the pressure now. - I'm always wrong.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I can't believe you didn't mention my grumpiness.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Oh, yes, of course, grumpy Shappi as well.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37I think everybody's going to enjoy Round One.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- All right.- Round One's the sort of thing you'll all be able
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- to have a decent crack at. - Thank you, Richard.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- Pleasure.- Listen, thank you.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45As usual, all of today's questions
0:04:45 > 0:04:47have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Our contestants here are looking for
0:04:49 > 0:04:51those all-important Pointless answers -
0:04:51 > 0:04:53these being answers that none of our 100 people gave.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Find one of those and we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Now, as today's show is a celebrity special,
0:04:58 > 0:05:00each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03We will start off with a jackpot of £2,500.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05There it is. APPLAUSE
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17OK, all you have to remember is this -
0:05:17 > 0:05:19the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:05:19 > 0:05:21will be eliminated. That's it.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24You just have to make sure you are not in that pair.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Otherwise, there is no conferring until the third round.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29That's the other thing you have to remember.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Our first category this evening is...
0:05:34 > 0:05:37It's Film. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:05:37 > 0:05:39who's going to go second?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48OK. Now, the question concerns...
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Empire's 100 greatest movie characters.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- Richard.- On each board, we're going to show you
0:05:56 > 0:05:59the names of seven characters who appeared on that poll.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01You just need to tell us the film they first appeared in, please.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Give us the most obscure answer you can.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05There's going to be seven on each board, 14 in all,
0:06:05 > 0:06:07to have a go at at home. Very best of luck.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10OK, so, let's reveal our first board of seven characters.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12And here it comes. We've got...
0:06:26 > 0:06:28I'll read those all one last time.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Shappi, welcome back.- Hello.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Now tell me, Shappi, when you're writing your stand-up stuff...
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Oh, I love you for thinking that I write it, like, on a...
0:06:41 > 0:06:42I mean, I do write it.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I don't write it like that.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- I ought to.- When you devise your stand-up stuff, Shappi...
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- Yes.- Because you always talk about yourself,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53how much of that is actually genuinely about you,
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- about your life?- The thing is...
0:06:57 > 0:06:58..my stand-up is very personal,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01because I don't have time to research stuff.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Like, I don't have time to go into a supermarket
0:07:04 > 0:07:07and notice where the lemons are kept, and things like that,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- because I've got to... - Oh, I hate lemon humour anyway.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Yeah, there's a lot of lemon humour.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13It's not a version of you, it's actually you,
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- these are stories from your life. - Yeah, sometimes, it's too much me!
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Shappi, what are you going to go for?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21You know, I'm freaking about this question,
0:07:21 > 0:07:24because my partner has written film theory books,
0:07:24 > 0:07:26and I think I'm about to get...
0:07:26 > 0:07:30I don't know when this is going out, but I think I will be single
0:07:30 > 0:07:35soon after, because he's going to be mightily disappointed with me.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- Yeah.- Of course, Scarlett O'Hara, Wind In The Willows,
0:07:39 > 0:07:43would be the most famous film that she was in...
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Gone With The Wind!
0:07:47 > 0:07:50LAUGHTER
0:07:50 > 0:07:53OK. Let's talk a bit more about the film theory!
0:07:55 > 0:07:58It's not about me so I haven't got a clue!
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I knew there was wind in it somewhere.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03"I knew there was wind in it somewhere."
0:08:03 > 0:08:05That is a hell of a catchphrase.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07That's going to be the title of my next show.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Do you not remember that film, Gone With The Wind In The Willows?
0:08:11 > 0:08:12LAUGHTER
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Erm, yes.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18I think out of charity, we might take Gone With The Wind
0:08:18 > 0:08:21rather than Wind In The Willows. Let's see if it's right
0:08:21 > 0:08:23and let's see how many people said Gone With The Wind.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- There we are. 54.- Is that all right?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Yes, it's not bad. You're halfway down.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35You're out of the blocks.
0:08:35 > 0:08:3754 for Gone With The Wind.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Yes, apparently 1,400 actresses auditioned for that role.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- It's too many. - It is too many, isn't it?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Only one of them got it. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Fred, welcome to Pointless.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Lovely to have you here. - Good to be here.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Now, earlier in 2015, you left BBC Scotland after...
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- How many years were you there? - Just short of 18 years.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- 18 years.- Yes. Every midweek morning.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02They must miss you so much up there.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- I have had literally tens of Tweets. - LAUGHTER
0:09:06 > 0:09:08So, what was... Is the idea that
0:09:08 > 0:09:11we will be seeing much more of you down here?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- More stand-up, yes, tours... - And festivals.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Also, I read somewhere that I think
0:09:17 > 0:09:21- 2015's Edinburgh Festival will be your 27th.- That is a fact.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24You don't look like a man who has been through 27 Edinburgh Festivals,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- I must say.- Well, clean living.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I've seen people that have done four festivals at Edinburgh
0:09:29 > 0:09:31and looked a lot worse than me.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34But, yes, my wife comes through and looks after me.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36And when I say "looks after me",
0:09:36 > 0:09:40it means she doesn't let me go to the Spiegeltent until 4am.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45Now, Fred, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Well, I'm just kind of regretting not having my glasses on.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51But I think you've misspelt June Whitfield,
0:09:51 > 0:09:52I know that for a fact.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54LAUGHTER
0:09:56 > 0:09:58I know another three or four of them.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- Yeah.- I'm just going to go with the one that I know,
0:10:01 > 0:10:05coming down the order, Ron Burgundy, 2004, Anchorman.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Anchorman says Fred. Let's see if that's right,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11let's see how many of our 100 people said Anchorman.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17It's right. 54 is our only score so far, Anchorman passes that...
0:10:18 > 0:10:20..and keeps going to 27. Very well done, Fred.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- APPLAUSE - Well done.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- Anchorman.- Great answer, yeah.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Will Ferrell says it's his favourite character.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28No-one ever wanted to make Anchorman
0:10:28 > 0:10:30and now it's this huge cult sensation
0:10:30 > 0:10:31and a wonderful film as well.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Can I also say how BBC Scotland's loss
0:10:33 > 0:10:35is the gain of every comedy fan in the country.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37It would be lovely to have Fred back on tour.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- Don't you think?- Absolutely. - One of the best stand-ups
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- that Britain has ever produced. - Lovely. There we are. Very nice.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Yes. APPLAUSE
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Now, Mark, welcome back to Pointless, good to have you here,
0:10:50 > 0:10:51with Toyah Willcox last time.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I was, yeah, albeit briefly.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Was it another brief one? - It was quite brief.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Shirt of the Cloth of Gold.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Look at that. Very, very fine.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04I'm trying to big it up for the nanosecond I'm going to be on stage.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06I want to ask you about Level 42.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- Please. - Where did the name come from?
0:11:08 > 0:11:12It's from the Douglas Adams novel Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Of course. The answer to life, the universe and everything.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17That was pretty much it.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19I remember also, there was a time when your thumbs
0:11:19 > 0:11:23were apparently insured for £3 million. Is that really true?
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- It happens with models whose legs... - It was just one.- Just one?
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Just the one, as it happens.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31I'm a keen gardener and outdoorsman,
0:11:31 > 0:11:33so I have chainsaws and things like that,
0:11:33 > 0:11:36so I think they were just thinking, "This is a bad combination".
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Do you still have the policy?
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- It's reduced somewhat. It's third-party, fire and theft. - LAUGHTER
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- £27.50. - Very good.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Imagine if somebody tried to steal Mark King's thumb.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49That would be a heist and a half.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51It would be like the Hatton Garden burglary.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Digital heist. Now, Mark, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:11:55 > 0:11:58We have just got off a tour bus, big science-fiction fans,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00we just watched 2010.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05So I am going to go for HAL 9000, which is 2001.
0:12:05 > 0:12:061968.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08OK, 2001.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Yeah.- 2001, says Mark. Let's see if that's right,
0:12:11 > 0:12:14let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19It's right. 54 is our highest score, 27 our low.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22We've passed 54, passed 27...
0:12:22 > 0:12:2513. There we are, Mark, very well done.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27APPLAUSE
0:12:27 > 0:12:28A new low score.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Great answer, very well played.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33In severe danger of getting through to Round Two
0:12:33 > 0:12:35unless Stuart lets you down.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- Thanks!- Famously, people say that the computer's called HAL
0:12:38 > 0:12:41because it's one letter back from IBM,
0:12:41 > 0:12:43but I think maybe that's a myth.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44Oh, really?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- You think?- I think.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48You just think it has "myth" written all over it?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50All over it.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53It's good, though. It's good, whoever spotted it first.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Anyway, thank you very much indeed.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Amy, welcome to Pointless, lovely to have you here.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03What I want to know, doing skeleton, when did you first start doing that?
0:13:03 > 0:13:04I started in 2002
0:13:04 > 0:13:07and I just happened to live in the right place in Bath
0:13:07 > 0:13:10where we've got a little skeleton and bobsleigh start track,
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- so it's a bit like train tracks... - What, a sort of dry slope?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Yeah, like a dry track that you can just practice the sprints.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18That's what I was going to say, cos how on earth do you get into it?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Were you just a very good tobogganer?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- I did have a very steep garden growing up and I did used to get binbags.- That'll help.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26But weirdly, I used to go feet-first
0:13:26 > 0:13:28and now I've opted for headfirst with skeleton.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Brave, very brave indeed.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33But presumably, once you decided that was your thing, you then...
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Bath wasn't going to contain you?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38The winter months, we'd be away for six months of the year,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41on a circuit going around all the different tracks of the world,
0:13:41 > 0:13:43competing and training and in the summer months,
0:13:43 > 0:13:44you'd be back at home in Bath,
0:13:44 > 0:13:46training and doing your physical training.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Very exciting. Amy,
0:13:48 > 0:13:51do you want to talk us through the board and fill in all the blanks?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Oh, help! I wish I could fill in all the blanks.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55I thought I was good with films.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57However, the very obvious one, bang in the middle there,
0:13:57 > 0:14:01is, at the moment, the only answer I know. So, you know what?
0:14:01 > 0:14:05I have to go for the blunt obvious and go for Toy Story.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Toy Story. Toy Story, says Amy, for Buzz Lightyear.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many people said Toy Story.
0:14:14 > 0:14:1680. AUDIENCE GROANS
0:14:16 > 0:14:19It's not that bad. Not bad.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- 80 for Toy Story. - Yes, damage limitation.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Billy Crystal turned down the chance to voice Buzz Lightyear
0:14:25 > 0:14:27and says it's his only career regret.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31You've got to be careful, if your kids get into winter sports.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Yeah, it can be a slippery slope!
0:14:33 > 0:14:34LAUGHTER AND GROANS
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Let's fill in the rest of this board.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- I'm sure you'll do these very well. Norman Bates.- Psycho.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Psycho. That would have scored you 49.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- Now, The Dude...- The Big Lebowski. - ..is from the Big Lebowski.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49The Big Lebowski.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51The Jeff Bridges character in that, five points.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53And the best answer on the board is Jules Winnfield.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- June Whitfield. - It's June Whitfield.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59You don't remember June Whitfield being in Pulp Fiction?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02She was indeed. June Whitfield was played by Samuel L Jackson.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04The best answer on the board.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Thanks very much, Richard.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:15:09 > 0:15:1113, the best score of the pass. Well done, Mark,
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Mark and Stuart looking very strong at this point.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Then up to 27, where we find Fred and Sian.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Up to 54, Shappi and Rich.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20And then up to 80, Amy and Chemmy.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- You're not that far ahead.- We're the top of the leaderboard on there.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- Exactly.- We'll take that. - Think of it like that.- Yeah.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28A nice low score from you is what we need, Chemmy -
0:15:28 > 0:15:31and then you can stay at the end of the round. Best of luck,
0:15:31 > 0:15:33we're going to come back down the line.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40OK, let's put seven more characters up on the board.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Here they come. We've got...
0:15:58 > 0:16:00I'll read those all one last time.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Now, Chemmy, welcome to Pointless, lovely to have you here.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- Thank you.- Now, Chemmy, do you ever go skiing for fun?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Is that something you can ever do?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Yeah, I've actually retired from the sport because
0:16:21 > 0:16:24I have a metal right leg and if I crashed at 80mph now,
0:16:24 > 0:16:25I might never be able to ski again,
0:16:25 > 0:16:28so I've retired from racing so that I can keep skiing.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I married a skier, so we race all the time.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32One of my bitter things of being in a team with Amy
0:16:32 > 0:16:34is that she always one-ups me.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I mean, I don't have an Olympic medal, she's got one.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39My fastest I have skied is 92mph and Amy went 93mph,
0:16:39 > 0:16:41I mean, come on!
0:16:43 > 0:16:46But she has just given us 80 points, so I've got this!
0:16:46 > 0:16:47You've got this now.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50What we need from you, Chemmy, is a low score to keep you in the game,
0:16:50 > 0:16:52you have to find a nice, low-scoring one here.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Do you know most of them?
0:16:54 > 0:16:57I know four of them and I'm trying to think of the demographic
0:16:57 > 0:16:59and the age of who you've asked.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02I think I'm going to go for the Maximus.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- That is Gladiator. - Gladiator says Chemmy.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08No red line for you as you're the high-scorers.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Let's see how many of our 100 people said Gladiator.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14It's right.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Under 50. 41. Not bad.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19APPLAUSE
0:17:19 > 0:17:21121 is your total.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Well played, Chemmy, given yourself a chance there.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Reportedly, Russell Crowe said to Ridley Scott during the film...
0:17:28 > 0:17:31He didn't like one of the lines and he said "This line is garbage,
0:17:31 > 0:17:34"but fortunately, I am one of the greatest actors in the world
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- "and I can make garbage sound good." - He's so good, isn't he?
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- Yeah.- Isn't he good?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Thank you very much, indeed. Now, Stuart, welcome back.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- Thank you. - Welcome back to Pointless,
0:17:44 > 0:17:45great to have you here again.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49I wanted to ask you this, you did a book called In Search Of The North.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Pies And Prejudice, yes.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53You were searching where the North started. Where, in your opinion...
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Where did you discover the North to begin?
0:17:56 > 0:17:57I decided, after Crewe,
0:17:57 > 0:18:00women will start to "love" you and not "pet" you,
0:18:00 > 0:18:03or "duck" you or, you know?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05So roundabout Crewe, north of Crewe,
0:18:05 > 0:18:08you get "love" and you get pies and you get Rugby League.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11So, yeah, I think Crewe is the gateway to the North.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Where does it stop? Where does it stop being the North, I wonder?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17I guess, Hadrian's Wall.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19My whole family is from Brighton, so for me,
0:18:19 > 0:18:23the North begins at Croydon, that's where that is.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26If I get to Croydon, I'm like, "Whoa, hold on a minute".
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Stuart, what would you like to go for?
0:18:28 > 0:18:31It doesn't matter what you score, you're through to the next round.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33This is a whole new world for you.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38In that case, I'm thinking Rick Blaine might be...
0:18:38 > 0:18:39from Casablanca.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Casablanca says Stuart.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Mark likes it. Let's see if it's right, Casablanca.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47No red line, you're already through.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Let's see how many people said Casablanca.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53It's right.
0:18:58 > 0:19:017. Look at that! APPLAUSE
0:19:01 > 0:19:0420 is your total, the lowest total of the round.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09That's more like it. Very well played, Stuart.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Safely through. Played by Humphrey Bogart, of course.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Indeed. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Now, Sian, welcome back to Pointless.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17Lovely to have you here.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Sian, what I want to ask you is,
0:19:19 > 0:19:22over the years that you have been doing the weather,
0:19:22 > 0:19:24presumably, weather technology has changed so much,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26we must be so much better at mapping weather?
0:19:26 > 0:19:29It's much, much more accurate. I think the biggest thing is...
0:19:29 > 0:19:31I joined the weather in about '92.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33And we then followed the news.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Nowadays, we, the weather, makes the news headlines.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38That's the biggest difference
0:19:38 > 0:19:40in the 20-odd years I've been on the weather.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Nice. You're still on after the news though, aren't you?
0:19:43 > 0:19:47It must have changed, the boards must have changed -
0:19:47 > 0:19:49the way you feature in the weather?
0:19:49 > 0:19:53All computerised, and what counts is that wonderful map by my side.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57Not us, but that map and we work via a blue screen or a green screen.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01When this goes out, Fred, you will be replaced by the British Isles.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- Don't worry. - I'll be a fuzzy-felt cloud.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Now, Sian, you have to score 93 or less.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- It's as easy as that. - 93 or less?
0:20:11 > 0:20:12- Yes.- I... My goodness.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14I've got a kind of fuzzy mind,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17fuzzy brain and I'm thinking I might know some of these,
0:20:17 > 0:20:20but I'm not confident enough to go with any,
0:20:20 > 0:20:21apart from the one obvious...
0:20:23 > 0:20:27I'm going to be a scaredy-cat and spineless
0:20:27 > 0:20:30and go for Princess Leia in Star Wars.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32OK, Star Wars, says Sian.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Here's your red line.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36You have to get below that with Star Wars, let's see if you can.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38How many people said Star Wars?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43It's right, you're through. Look at that, Star Wars.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Still going down. 56.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47APPLAUSE
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Wow.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51That takes your total up to 83.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Well played, Sian. I think that's a low score
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- because the surname confused people.- Yes. Thank you.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- That's a pleasure.- Good. Now, Rich.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- Yes!- Finally, we get to welcome you to Pointless.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- It's lovely to have you here. - Thank you.- Now, the rumour persists
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- that the character of Moe in The Simpsons is based on you.- Yes.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- Is that true? - I think that's probably true.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13How did that come about? Is Matt Groening an old friend of yours?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Yeah, Matt's an old friend and we all used to sit around
0:21:16 > 0:21:18and do impressions of each other
0:21:18 > 0:21:21and Harry Shearer used to do impressions of me all the time
0:21:21 > 0:21:24and I guess he passed that on to...
0:21:24 > 0:21:28You know, when he wrote The Simpsons, so...
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Now it's something that's sort of etched in history.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35It's there, exactly. Were you at any stage going to be on The Simpsons?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Might you have been one of the voices?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Yes, I was asked to do The Simpsons,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42but, at the time, I was doing a gig in Basingstoke.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44LAUGHTER
0:21:45 > 0:21:47And I had to weigh those and I thought...
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Yeah, Basingstoke.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51What brought you over here?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53- Do you live here full-time now? - I live here part of the year.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- Yeah.- What was the lure?
0:21:55 > 0:21:56The lure was Edinburgh.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I came to Edinburgh and I played in a fireplace
0:21:59 > 0:22:01and it was better than anything I'd ever done in America.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04I stood in a giant fireplace, it was my first show.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06In a fireplace at the Gilded Balloon.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- It stuck?- Yeah, I liked the British audiences.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12- I don't like these people, but I like British audiences. - LAUGHTER
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Now, Rich, you're on 54.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16You have to score 66 or less...
0:22:16 > 0:22:18- Oh, boy.- ..to be through to the next round.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Do you want to talk us through that board?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22You can fill in all of those, I think.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Marty McFly would be from Back to the Future.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Tommy DeVito, something tells me it might be Grease,
0:22:29 > 0:22:31but I could easily be wrong.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34I'm caught between Axel Foley and Ellen Ripley
0:22:34 > 0:22:37and I'm going to go with the one
0:22:37 > 0:22:42that's the furthest in people's memories, in 1979, and say Alien.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Alien, says Rich.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45This is the red line, if you get below that with Alien,
0:22:45 > 0:22:49you are through to the next round. How many people said Alien?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55It's right. And you're through, very well done indeed.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Alien...
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Comfortably through, 29. APPLAUSE
0:22:59 > 0:23:0283 is your total.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Well played, Rich. Played by Sigourney Weaver, of course.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Axel Foley, Rich, was...?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- Beverly Hills Cop.- Would have scored you fewer points, actually.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- 25.- Wow!
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Marty McFly is the biggest score on the board,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Back to the Future, of course, Michael J Fox. 65 for that.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23And the best answer on the board, Tommy DeVito...
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- Is it Goodfellas?- It is, yes. It would have scored you three points.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Very well done if you said that at home.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Thanks very much indeed.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33So at the end of our first round, the pair we're saying goodbye to...
0:23:33 > 0:23:35I'm so sorry, Chemmy and Amy!
0:23:35 > 0:23:37I'm sorry, you've come all this way here.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- It's sad.- I know, it's been lovely having you on.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41Listen, come back and do it again.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Thank you.- And good luck, guys. Thank you so much, Chemmy and Amy.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46APPLAUSE
0:23:48 > 0:23:51For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Suddenly, we're down to three pairs. At the end of this round,
0:23:57 > 0:24:00we'll have to say goodbye to another of the pairs in front of me now.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04Best of luck for Round Two. Our category this evening is...
0:24:04 > 0:24:05- The USA.- Oh, really!
0:24:05 > 0:24:10The USA! Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:24:10 > 0:24:11who's going to go second?
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19OK, let's find out what the question is, here it comes.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:24:27 > 0:24:30US states with an "E" in their name.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Yes, if you want me to be more specific,
0:24:33 > 0:24:40we are looking for any state of the US whose name has got an "E" in it.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Thanks very much, Richard.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44- Rich.- Yes.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47US states with an "E" in.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- Nebraska.- Nebraska, says Rich.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Let's see how many of our 100 people said Nebraska.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56It's right.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01It's right, still going down, look at that.
0:25:01 > 0:25:0418, very well done. APPLAUSE
0:25:06 > 0:25:08- 18 for Nebraska. - Well played, Rich.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Can be a disadvantage, actually, being from the USA,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12because most people know their states,
0:25:12 > 0:25:14but it's working out which ones are obscure,
0:25:14 > 0:25:16which ones people have not heard of.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Omaha in Nebraska has got the world's largest indoor desert.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22It probably doesn't have to be that large to be the world's largest.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- Exactly.- It might be the world's ONLY, you never know.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28I once went somewhere in another state of America
0:25:28 > 0:25:30that had the world's largest thermometer.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32I thought...
0:25:32 > 0:25:36I mean, really? I could have knocked up a bigger one in like, 20 minutes.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41Now, Fred.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Yeah, I'm hoping to do well on this round, because the next round
0:25:44 > 0:25:47I'm hoping is going to be Celtic nations.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Um... I'll go with New Mexico.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53New Mexico, says Fred. Let's see if that's right
0:25:53 > 0:25:56and see how many of our 100 people said New Mexico.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01It's right.
0:26:01 > 0:26:0318 is our only score so far.
0:26:03 > 0:26:0640 for New Mexico.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- It's got two Es in it, of course. - That'll be why.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16That's quite a ballsy thing to call your state.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Like, a whole country, but a new version of that entire country.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21- New Mexico.- Mm.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Setting for Breaking Bad, of course.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Do you think people from Old Mexico wander up and go,
0:26:25 > 0:26:28"It's nothing like it. Nothing like it."
0:26:28 > 0:26:32See, I don't call it "Old Mexico", I call it Mexico.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33I'm only... Yeah.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35OK.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38Now then, Mark.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41- Yes.- Mark...
0:26:41 > 0:26:44I hate geography.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47I was so bad at geography that, at Cowes High School,
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Mrs Marvin, my geography teacher,
0:26:49 > 0:26:53made me run the slide projector because I was just so stupid.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56It was, "King, just do that". OK. With my thumb.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58LAUGHTER
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Uh... OK.
0:27:01 > 0:27:06Is it the Lone Star state of Texas?
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Texas, says Mark.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Texas, let's see how many of our 100 people said Texas.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Well, 18 is our low, 40 is...
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Oh, no! There's our new high, 74. APPLAUSE
0:27:18 > 0:27:19Texas.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24It's the second-largest state of all, after Alaska,
0:27:24 > 0:27:27which I didn't mention, because it doesn't have any "E"s in it.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28There is one ranch in Texas
0:27:28 > 0:27:31and there's another state which does have an "E" in its name,
0:27:31 > 0:27:33there's one ranch which is bigger than that.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Thank you very much. We're halfway through the round.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Time to take a look at those scores and see where we are.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Rich, 18 - brilliant score, as it turns out.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Rich and Shappi looking very strong at this point.
0:27:42 > 0:27:4640 is where we find Fred and Sian and then 74, Mark and Stuart.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Now Stuart, just from the way you were nodding earlier,
0:27:48 > 0:27:50something tells me you've got some good answers there.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53So, I'm hoping some low scores. Or just one low score, in fact,
0:27:53 > 0:27:55to keep you in the game would be brilliant.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57We're going to come back down the line now.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:28:02 > 0:28:04So yes, Stuart.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07US states with "E"s in them.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11There is a few that I'm not sure if they're actually states or not.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14You would be sure if you were sitting at home, but now,
0:28:14 > 0:28:17all kinds of crippling self-doubt has crept in.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20But I'm going to go for Delaware.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Delaware.
0:28:22 > 0:28:23Delaware, OK.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Now, no red line for you, as you're the high-scorers.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Let's see how many of our 100 people said Delaware.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Oh, that's a great answer, 19. Look at that.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41APPLAUSE 19, Stuart exactly what we needed.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Nice low score, taking your total up to 93.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Well played, Stuart, terrific answer.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49Given yourself a chance. The first state to ratify the constitution,
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Delaware. So, well done them.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54- Ahead of the curve.- Very much the Sunderland South of America.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Quite so. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01Now, Sian. Sian, you have a target, which is 52.
0:29:01 > 0:29:0452 or less is what we need from you.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06OK.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10I am going to go with New York State.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12OK, New York, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14There's your red line, Sian.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- Ooh, it's not bad... Oh, look at that, 59.- Oh, no!
0:29:20 > 0:29:22APPLAUSE
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Both went for "new" states, New Mexico and New York.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33- Both big scorers, it turns out. - Yes.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Thanks very much. Now, Shappi.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36- Hello.- Hi there, Shappi.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40Now, listen, you got such a lovely low score there, courtesy of Rich.
0:29:40 > 0:29:4280 or less gets you through.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46Right. If my spelling is correct, Massachusetts.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48- Massachusetts. - Did I pronounce that right?
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Yes, you did, you said that beautifully.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52There's your red line. If you get below that...
0:29:52 > 0:29:55- Is there an "E" in it? - We'll find out!
0:29:55 > 0:29:56LAUGHTER
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Let's see how many people said Massachusetts.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Yes, there's an "E" in it.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06You're through to the next round, well done, Shappi.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- APPLAUSE 23.- Wow! Hooray!
0:30:09 > 0:30:1223 takes your total up to 41.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Well played, Shappi. Yes, all "A"s and "U"s,
0:30:17 > 0:30:19but then they sneak an "E" in right at the end there.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22There's three answers that would have been better than Nebraska.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Nebraska is the best answer we had in the round.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Three answers that would have scored fewer points.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29No Pointless answers at all, as you'd imagine.
0:30:29 > 0:30:3112 points for Vermont.
0:30:31 > 0:30:3313 points for Connecticut.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35And 14 points for Rhode Island,
0:30:35 > 0:30:38which is the state that's smaller than one ranch in Texas.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40I'll give you some other low scorers.
0:30:40 > 0:30:4318 for West Virginia, 19 for Minnesota and New Hampshire,
0:30:43 > 0:30:4820 for Kentucky, 22 for Pennsylvania and Oregon, 25 for Tennessee,
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Nevada and Georgia would have scored you 27, 32 for Maine,
0:30:51 > 0:30:5534 for New Jersey and the top three, we've heard all three of them -
0:30:55 > 0:30:57New Mexico, New York and Texas.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59There we are, thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01So, at the end of our second round,
0:31:01 > 0:31:04I'm sorry to say the pair we're saying goodbye to, Sian and Fred,
0:31:04 > 0:31:06it is you with your high score of 99.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08You're not that far ahead of the field,
0:31:08 > 0:31:09but somebody has to be our high-scorers
0:31:09 > 0:31:12and on this occasion, it's you. Will you please come back and play again?
0:31:12 > 0:31:15- Love to.- It's been lovely to have you on the show, Sian and Fred!
0:31:15 > 0:31:18- Thanks very much!- Thanks.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21But for Mark and Stuart, Rich and Shappi,
0:31:21 > 0:31:23it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Well, congratulations, Mark and Stuart, Rich and Shappi,
0:31:29 > 0:31:31you're now one step closer to the final
0:31:31 > 0:31:34and a chance to play for our jackpot for your charities,
0:31:34 > 0:31:37which currently stands at £2,500.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38APPLAUSE
0:31:39 > 0:31:42So, here is where we decide who goes through to the final
0:31:42 > 0:31:45and plays for that jackpot and we do that by making you go head-to-head.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47The difference is you can now start playing as teams.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49You can chat before you give your answers.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53First pair to win two questions goes through to that final.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58APPLAUSE
0:32:01 > 0:32:05OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Quite. I'm going to show you five pictures now of men
0:32:10 > 0:32:13whose surnames begin with the letters M-A-N.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Can you identify the most obscure of these five?
0:32:16 > 0:32:22OK, let's show our five Men Called Man and here they are, we've got...
0:32:42 > 0:32:45OK. There we are. Five men with "Man"
0:32:45 > 0:32:47at the beginning of their surname.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50So, Mark and Stuart, you've been our low-scorers throughout the show,
0:32:50 > 0:32:52so you will be first.
0:32:52 > 0:32:53With a wild stab, I'd say that D
0:32:53 > 0:32:57is probably going to be the lowest score.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01Unfortunately, it's low because we don't know who it is either!
0:33:01 > 0:33:05We're actually going to plump for C, Nigel Mansell.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Nigel Mansell say Mark and Stuart.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Now, Rich and Shappi.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14A, I love him, he is of course...
0:33:14 > 0:33:16- Can I say his name?- Yes.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19It's Jason Manford. What's B?
0:33:19 > 0:33:20I know him.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Manegan. His name is Manegan.
0:33:24 > 0:33:29I would put my goldfish's life on the fact that he is...
0:33:30 > 0:33:33..Paul Manegan?
0:33:34 > 0:33:36James Manegan?
0:33:36 > 0:33:38They float, don't they, when they die, goldfish?
0:33:38 > 0:33:40LAUGHTER
0:33:42 > 0:33:43There is...
0:33:43 > 0:33:48There's currently a vet somewhere in London, rubbing his hands...
0:33:48 > 0:33:50I'm going to take a gamble and go for Paul Manegan.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- Paul Manegan. OK.- What are you going to go for?- Paul Manegan.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Paul Manegan for B.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Excellent. OK, so Mark and Stuart have said Nigel Mansell for C.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Let's see if that's right,
0:34:00 > 0:34:04let's see how many of our 100 people said Nigel Mansell.
0:34:04 > 0:34:05It's right.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10- 45.- That's all right. - APPLAUSE
0:34:13 > 0:34:17Rich and Shappi have said that B is...
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Of course, it is the wonderful Paul Manegan.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Let's see how many people said Paul Manegan.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28No, I'm afraid it's not Paul Manegan.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Mark and Stuart, very well done -
0:34:30 > 0:34:33- after one question, you're up one-nil.- Soz, guys!
0:34:33 > 0:34:36We'll just have a minute's silence for the goldfish...
0:34:36 > 0:34:39LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:34:42 > 0:34:46B, it's not Manegan, I wouldn't have given you Manegan, it's Mangan,
0:34:46 > 0:34:49which is different, but it's Stephen Mangan, of course.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51- I was close! - The wonderful Stephen Mangan.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Yeah, you say that.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Would have scored you 19 points.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Funnily enough, Jason Manford wouldn't have won you the points,
0:34:58 > 0:35:00he scores more than Nigel Mansell.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Jason Manford would have scored you 50.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04I think if Mansell still had his moustache,
0:35:04 > 0:35:06he would have scored more.
0:35:06 > 0:35:11- Yes.- E is Roberto Mancini, football manager.
0:35:11 > 0:35:12Former player. 22 points for that.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14D is a Pointless answer.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Just historical detective work now, isn't it?
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Can you think of anybody from the olden days whose name...
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- Gerard Manley Hopkins. - It is not Gerard Manley Hopkins.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25It is Edouard Manet. Manet.
0:35:25 > 0:35:26That's a Pointless answer.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Very well done if you said that at home, if you recognised Manet.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32He's very well pulled together for an artist, isn't he?
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Not a speck of paint on that jacket.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Rich and Shappi, you get to answer it first,
0:35:39 > 0:35:42but you have to win it to stay in the game. Best of luck.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44It concerns...
0:35:46 > 0:35:47Rap and Hip-hop. Richard?
0:35:47 > 0:35:50We're going to show you five clues now about rap and hip-hop,
0:35:50 > 0:35:53you just need to give us the most obscure answer.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56OK. Rather than me reading out the clues to you,
0:35:56 > 0:35:58we've got someone who knows much more...
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Well, a little bit more about rap and hip-hop than me,
0:36:00 > 0:36:03the wonderful Tim Westwood.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Yo, Xander and Richard, sorry I can't be with you there tonight,
0:36:06 > 0:36:11but I have five questions on hip-hop to ask you all.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Question number one...
0:36:13 > 0:36:19What singer did Jay Z marry in 2008?
0:36:21 > 0:36:25Which group's original members were Chuck D, Flavor Flav,
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Terminator X and Professor Griff?
0:36:28 > 0:36:33Which artist interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech
0:36:33 > 0:36:37at the 2009 VMA Awards?
0:36:37 > 0:36:43Which group had the UK number-one hit back in 1996,
0:36:43 > 0:36:45called Ready Or Not?
0:36:46 > 0:36:52In what year did the Beastie Boys have their top-40 UK smash,
0:36:52 > 0:36:57called You've Got To Fight For Your Right to Party?
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Good luck and holler at the kids.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04- OK.- He's great.- He's brilliant.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07I'm going to attempt to read those clues out
0:37:07 > 0:37:10with a little more energy. Here they are.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Yo, etc.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Rich and Shappi, you'll go first.
0:37:33 > 0:37:34NWA?
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Let's go with them, yes.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40We both knew the second one, or think we know it,
0:37:40 > 0:37:43so we're going to go for the second one, NWA.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47NWA, say Rich and Shappi.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Now, then. Mark and Stuart...
0:37:50 > 0:37:52Talk us through the whole board, if you like.
0:37:52 > 0:37:57OK. The group that had the 1996 number-one spot was The Fugees.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01Fight For Your Right To Party, '87?
0:38:01 > 0:38:05Maybe. But the other two are pretty well-known, aren't they?
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Kanye West and Beyonce.
0:38:08 > 0:38:13We think that the group comprising those gentlemen is Public Enemy.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Eurgh.
0:38:16 > 0:38:17Eurgh.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19- Is that the answer you want to give? - It is.- Public Enemy.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22OK, well, only one of you can be right.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Rich and Shappi said NWA.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Let's see if that's right.
0:38:29 > 0:38:30Oh!
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Not NWA, I'm afraid. Mark and Stuart,
0:38:33 > 0:38:38Public Enemy only has to be right and you're through to the final.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40It is right, very well done indeed.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46It's a very good answer, in fact, look at that -
0:38:46 > 0:38:48that would have scored you 10. APPLAUSE
0:38:48 > 0:38:51Indeed, did score you. But the important thing is, it was right,
0:38:51 > 0:38:52which means after only two questions,
0:38:52 > 0:38:55you're straight through to the final, two-nil.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58Still going strong today, Public Enemy, which is terrific news.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01The singer who married Jay Z was Beyonce. Beyonce Knowles.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04You're right about Kanye.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08And Taylor Swift. Quite a low score, actually, would have scored you 16.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11Ready Or Not was The Fugees, Mark - well played.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13That would have scored you 24
0:39:13 > 0:39:16- and if we forced you to go for a Beastie Boys year...?- '87?
0:39:16 > 0:39:19I saw the Beastie Boys with Public Enemy back in '87
0:39:19 > 0:39:22and '87 is the correct answer as well.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24That was the best answer on the board, three points.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27- Great stuff.- Thank you very much indeed, thank you.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:39:30 > 0:39:32I'm afraid, it's Rich and Shappi.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36The fact that I got Public Enemy wrong
0:39:36 > 0:39:38is making me rethink my entire life!
0:39:38 > 0:39:40I'm so upset with myself!
0:39:40 > 0:39:42My family are never going to speak to me again,
0:39:42 > 0:39:45they're all I listened to throughout my teens
0:39:45 > 0:39:49and this has been possibly the top-five worst days of my life.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52If you'd like to see any more of Shappi's disclaimers,
0:39:52 > 0:39:56please press the red button right now.
0:39:56 > 0:39:57How can I get that wrong?!
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Shappi and Rich, it's been lovely having you on,
0:40:00 > 0:40:01please come back and play again.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Shappi and Rich, wonderful contestants.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06APPLAUSE
0:40:06 > 0:40:09But for Mark and Stuart, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Very well done indeed.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Mark, Stuart, you have fought off all the competition
0:40:19 > 0:40:22and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Very well done. You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:40:30 > 0:40:33for your charities and at the end of today's show,
0:40:33 > 0:40:35the jackpot is standing at £2,500.
0:40:35 > 0:40:36APPLAUSE
0:40:38 > 0:40:39Well...
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Obviously, music would be lovely.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Any other surprise strong suits you might have?
0:40:45 > 0:40:48- Could there be no geography? - Well, let's see what's up there.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Please let it be something that you can answer.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Our four options today are...
0:41:02 > 0:41:04- Mm.- Mm!
0:41:04 > 0:41:06I'm thinking about writers.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Do you know anything about crime writing?
0:41:09 > 0:41:10- I'm not very good at it!- OK.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12OK...
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Shall we do the '90s award winners and just chance it?
0:41:14 > 0:41:17- Yes, let's go for it. - We'll go for 1990s Award Winners.
0:41:17 > 0:41:191990s Award Winners, it is.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Very best of luck, gents - no music questions,
0:41:21 > 0:41:23but hopefully, one of these three questions will suit you.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27We are looking for the name of any individual who won the Turner Prize
0:41:27 > 0:41:29during the '90s, from '91 to '99.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31There wasn't one in 1990.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34We are looking for anyone who won BBC Sports Personality Of The Year
0:41:34 > 0:41:36during the 1990s,
0:41:36 > 0:41:40and we're looking for anyone who won a Best Leading Actor
0:41:40 > 0:41:43or Best Supporting Actor Oscar during the 1990s, please.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46That's from 1990 to 1999, inclusive.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Turner prize-winners, BBC Sports Personality Of The Year,
0:41:49 > 0:41:52or Best Leading or Supporting Actor winners from the '90s.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54We wish you the very best of luck.
0:41:54 > 0:41:55Thank you very much, Richard.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59As always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01All you need to win that jackpot for your charities
0:42:01 > 0:42:03is for just one of those answers to be Pointless.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05- Are you ready?- As ready...
0:42:05 > 0:42:08- As we're ever going to be.- ..as we're ever going to be, I think.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock, there they are.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13- Your time starts now.- OK, I know a couple of Turner Prize winners.
0:42:13 > 0:42:14Right, what have you got?
0:42:14 > 0:42:18I think one called Rachel Whiteread won it in the 1990s.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Ah! Grayson Perry is much more recent.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24I think Rachel Whiteread would be an answer for that.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26- OK.- Over to you, now.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28What's your Sports Personality of the Year like?
0:42:28 > 0:42:32Er, I'm not great on sports personalities, I have to say.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34What about the Oscars?
0:42:34 > 0:42:38- The Oscars...- Let's think of some Oscar-winning films in the 1990s.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Um...
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Because there weren't any Spielberg films in the '90s,
0:42:43 > 0:42:47it took forever for him to win an Oscar, didn't it?
0:42:47 > 0:42:50What were the big films in the '90s?
0:42:50 > 0:42:53- That's tricky, isn't it? - What about Silence Of The Lambs?
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Yes, absolutely.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58- Did Jodie Foster get anything? - I'm sure she did.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02- Who was Hannibal?- Ten seconds left.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04We'll just have to...
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Maybe we'll just have to bank on Jodie being a winner.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10Yes, let's do that. And we'll go for Jodie Foster...
0:43:10 > 0:43:14OK, that's your time up. Let's have your three answers.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17OK, 1990s Turner Prize winners,
0:43:17 > 0:43:21I think an artist called Rachel Whiteread.
0:43:21 > 0:43:26- OK.- Then, I'm pretty sure Damien Hirst won in the 1990s as well.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29Yep. And then are we going to go with our...?
0:43:29 > 0:43:33Well, we'll go with Best Leading Actor
0:43:33 > 0:43:36from the 1990s, would be Jodie Foster.
0:43:36 > 0:43:37You're going to go for Jodie Foster.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39- Silence Of The Lambs. - Now, of those three,
0:43:39 > 0:43:42which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:43:42 > 0:43:45I think, if it's right, Rachel Whiteread.
0:43:45 > 0:43:48She goes last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:43:48 > 0:43:50Probably Damien Hirst, because...
0:43:50 > 0:43:52Damien Hirst, we'll put him first.
0:43:52 > 0:43:54Then Jodie Foster in the middle.
0:43:54 > 0:43:57OK, let's pop those on the board in that order, then.
0:43:57 > 0:44:00Here they are. We have got Damien Hirst,
0:44:00 > 0:44:02Jodie Foster and Rachel Whiteread.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05Well, very, very best of luck. Three great answers on the board,
0:44:05 > 0:44:08let's hope at least one of those wins that jackpot for your charities.
0:44:08 > 0:44:12What actually are your charities? What's your charity, Mark?
0:44:12 > 0:44:16It's the Beaulieu Respite Care Centre on the Isle of Wight,
0:44:16 > 0:44:18which looks after disabled children
0:44:18 > 0:44:21and gives their families a much-needed break
0:44:21 > 0:44:25- and I'd love the money to go there, thank you.- Very good. Stuart?
0:44:25 > 0:44:26APPLAUSE
0:44:28 > 0:44:31Mine's a grand old Salford institution,
0:44:31 > 0:44:35- the Working Class Movement Library. - Very good indeed.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37APPLAUSE Two great charities, there.
0:44:37 > 0:44:40Let's hope one of these answers wins that jackpot for them.
0:44:40 > 0:44:42Your first answer was Damien Hirst.
0:44:42 > 0:44:46In this case, we were looking for Turner Prize winners from the 1990s.
0:44:46 > 0:44:49It has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:44:49 > 0:44:52For £2,500, let's see how many people said Damien Hirst.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59Well, obviously, it's right.
0:44:59 > 0:45:02We just have to see how much about the Turner Prize winners
0:45:02 > 0:45:03our 100 people knew.
0:45:03 > 0:45:06Down it goes through the teens, will it make single figures...?
0:45:06 > 0:45:08Oh, no, not quite! 10.
0:45:08 > 0:45:1110 for Damien Hirst. APPLAUSE
0:45:12 > 0:45:15OK, good score. Sadly, not a pointless answer.
0:45:15 > 0:45:18So therefore, not a winning answer at this point.
0:45:18 > 0:45:22Only two more answers could win you that jackpot.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24Your second answer was Jodie Foster. In this case,
0:45:24 > 0:45:27we were looking for Best Leading or Supporting Actor Oscar winners
0:45:27 > 0:45:30from the '90s, let's see how many people said Jodie Foster.
0:45:30 > 0:45:32£2,500, is it Pointless?
0:45:36 > 0:45:38Wow.
0:45:38 > 0:45:42OK, incorrect, which means only one more shot at today's jackpot.
0:45:42 > 0:45:45Everything is now riding on Rachel Whiteread.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48Again, in this case, we were looking for Turner Prize winners
0:45:48 > 0:45:49from the 1990s, let's see.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52For £2,500, how many people said Rachel Whiteread?
0:45:52 > 0:45:53Is it pointless?
0:45:57 > 0:46:01It's right. Damien Hirst took us all the way down to 10.
0:46:01 > 0:46:04Your second answer, Jodie Foster, was incorrect.
0:46:04 > 0:46:07- Come on...- Rachel Whiteread now taking us into single figures,
0:46:07 > 0:46:09passing 10 very comfortably, still going down...
0:46:09 > 0:46:12You've done it! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:46:12 > 0:46:14Yay! That's brilliant!
0:46:16 > 0:46:18- Very well done!- Thank you.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24- Beautiful.- Yay!
0:46:24 > 0:46:26Thank you!
0:46:26 > 0:46:29- It's him, man! - Well, congratulations!
0:46:29 > 0:46:32Rachel Whiteread, cracking answer there, very well done.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35That means you go home with that jackpot of £2,500
0:46:35 > 0:46:38for your charities. Mark and Stuart, fantastic.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:46:40 > 0:46:42How cool is that, eh?!
0:46:42 > 0:46:45Well, we said right at the beginning you were going to do well,
0:46:45 > 0:46:47but it's very rare that any pair does that well.
0:46:47 > 0:46:50Two-nil in the head-to-head, a pointless answer...
0:46:50 > 0:46:52Also, you very kindly, which we love,
0:46:52 > 0:46:53put your pointless answer as your last one,
0:46:53 > 0:46:55which makes it much more exciting!
0:46:55 > 0:46:59So, the perfect Pointless performance. Thank you so much.
0:46:59 > 0:47:02Jodie Foster won a Best Actress Oscar, so not the answer -
0:47:02 > 0:47:04we were looking for Best Actors.
0:47:04 > 0:47:06Anthony Hopkins would have scored you two points,
0:47:06 > 0:47:08if you'd said Anthony Hopkins.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11Let's take a look at the answers in the different categories.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13Start with Turner Prize winners.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15Chris Ofili, the painter, was a Pointless answer.
0:47:15 > 0:47:18Gillian Wearing, there's Rachel Whiteread.
0:47:18 > 0:47:20Steve McQueen of course later went on to be a director,
0:47:20 > 0:47:2212 Years A Slave and so on.
0:47:22 > 0:47:25Two other pointless answers - Douglas Gordon and Grenville Davey.
0:47:25 > 0:47:26Well done if you said any of those.
0:47:26 > 0:47:28Let's take a look at the Sports Personality.
0:47:28 > 0:47:31Jonathan Edwards would have been a Pointless answer,
0:47:31 > 0:47:34Lennox Lewis and Liz McColgan won in 1991.
0:47:34 > 0:47:38Well done if you said the only pointless answers there.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41Now, the actors. Cuba Gooding Jr,
0:47:41 > 0:47:43who won for Jerry Maguire, of course.
0:47:43 > 0:47:45Geoffrey Rush won for Shine,
0:47:45 > 0:47:47Jack Palance, who won for City Slickers
0:47:47 > 0:47:49and Tommy Lee Jones for The Fugitive.
0:47:49 > 0:47:51There were four other answers you could have given,
0:47:51 > 0:47:54four other pointless answers - Gene Hackman, James Coburn,
0:47:54 > 0:47:56Joe Pesci and Martin Landau.
0:47:56 > 0:47:58Very well done if you said any of those,
0:47:58 > 0:48:00but a terrific performance from start to finish
0:48:00 > 0:48:02and a well-deserved win, congratulations, gents.
0:48:02 > 0:48:06- Thank you.- Thanks very much, Richard. APPLAUSE
0:48:06 > 0:48:08Well, thanks once again to our winning pair, Mark and Stuart,
0:48:08 > 0:48:12who go away with today's jackpot of £2,500 for their charities.
0:48:12 > 0:48:15Brilliant. Thank you.
0:48:15 > 0:48:16Join us next time,
0:48:16 > 0:48:19when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:48:19 > 0:48:22- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:48:22 > 0:48:24..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:48:24 > 0:48:25APPLAUSE
