Radio Pointless Celebrities

APPLAUSE Thank you very much indeed.

Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and a very warm welcome to a special radio edition of Pointless Celebrities,

the show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.

Let's meet today's Pointless Celebrities.

And couple number one.

Hello there, I'm Toby Anstis and I present a show on Heart.

I'm Jenni Falconer and I also present a show on Heart.

APPLAUSE

Couple number two.

Hello, I'm Janice Long and I work for Radio 2.

I do four shows a week for them after midnight.

And I'm Bob Harris and I too broadcast on BBC Radio 2.

APPLAUSE

Couple number three.

Hello, I'm Peter White. I present In Touch and You And Yours on Radio 4.

In Touch is for people who can't see very well and You And Yours is for

people who don't want to pay their gas bill.

I'm Steve Punt and along with my co-conspirator, Hugh Dennis,

I present The Now Show on Radio 4.

APPLAUSE

And finally, couple number four.

Hello everybody, I'm Steve Penk,

probably best known for my wind-up prank phone calls.

These days enjoying the fun world of internet radio with the Steve Penk

-Music Channel.

-And I'm Angie Greaves and I work for Magic,

daytime Monday to Friday, and I do Soul Town on Saturday.

APPLAUSE

Thanks all of you. We will find out more about you throughout the show

as it goes along. That just leaves one more person I need to introduce.

The facts speak for themselves.

But unfortunately he'd already signed his contract before we realised that.

-It's my Pointless friend, Richard.

-Hi there.

-APPLAUSE

-Evening, everybody. Evening.

Good evening to you. It's a lovely line-up.

-Isn't it?

-We've got three people who are returning,

we've had Jenni and Janice on before.

But Toby, he's been on before and he's a champion as well.

He's a Pointless champion.

Everybody else might as well go home right now.

Lovely to have Bob Harris here.

I knew you were going to say that. Looking across,

when we heard him speak, I was thinking, "That's a hallmark for us,

"to have Bob Harris's voice."

I might do some questions that have much longer answers just so we can

listen to him a bit more.

Thanks very much, Richard. As usual,

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

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

answers that none of our 100 people gave.

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

As today's show is a celebrity special,

each of our celebrities is playing for a nominated charity and we start

off with a jackpot of £2,500.

APPLAUSE There we are.

Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

So the only thing you have to remember is this -

the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated. That is it.

You just have to make sure you are not in that pair.

And remember, there is no conferring until we get to the third round.

Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category today is...

Words. It's a words round.

Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first

and who's going to go second?

And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.

Let's find out what the question is.

Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many

words ending in "..OAT" as they could.

-Richard.

-We are looking for any word which has its own entry under the

English words section of oxforddictionaries.com, please, that ends ..OAT.

As always, no proper nouns, no hyphenated words, anything like that.

-We also won't accept the word "oat".

-LAUGHTER

I would suggest it would be quite a high-scoring answer anyway.

And that's up to March 2015.

Thank you, Richard. Jenni, welcome back.

-Thank you.

-Do you remember your last appearance on Pointless?

I think I might have been a loser.

-Quite a big loser.

-We're all losers on Pointless,

there's only ever one winner. Don't worry about that.

Now, Jenni, somebody was reminding the earlier today

that it all started on Blind Date

-for you, didn't it?

-It did, quite a long time ago as well.

I was a picker on Blind Date and I quite liked the whole TV experience

and they were just going, "Yes, that's what everyone says."

And so I went and did some work experience and ended up somehow

getting a job in television.

Wonderful. Now, Jenni, it's words ending ..OAT.

Scapegoat.

Scapegoat, let's see if it's right and let's see how many of our 100 people said scapegoat.

Very well done indeed. That's a great answer.

APPLAUSE Scapegoat scores you 4.

A proper start to a word round there.

A terrific first answer, scapegoat.

I think it was John O'Farrell, the writer,

who had a book called I Blame The Scapegoats.

Thanks, Richard.

Bob, a very warm welcome to Pointless. Great having you here.

Where did the whispering bit come from? You're plainly audible.

Well, it came from my time on The Old Grey Whistle Test.

I think the first programme I ever did was reviewed by a journalist

in an old music paper called Melody Maker

and he referred to me as Whispering Bob.

And it stuck ever since.

It's great, though. It's such a good voice, isn't it?

Bob, what are you going to go for, words ending ..OAT?

Um, refloat.

-Refloat.

-Yes.

-Refloat, says Bob.

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

It's right.

Very well done. 7 for refloat. APPLAUSE

Another very good answer. It's going to be a strong round this, I think.

To refloat, it means to refloat.

There we are. Thank you very much indeed.

-Steve.

-Hello.

-The Now Show, you do two a year?

No, we do three a year.

Plus we've done special runs for the Olympics and elections.

How close to the wire is the writing on it?

Um, very close.

Because that's the great thing about radio,

you can keep writing it literally up till you start.

You don't have to learn anything, which is useful.

You just have to be very quiet on the page turns.

Yeah, there's a lot of scribble on the script when things happen

literally right up till the last minute.

OK, Steve, words ending ..OAT.

I'm going to go undercoat.

Undercoat, says Steve.

Let's see how far down the column we get with undercoat.

6. APPLAUSE

Undercoat coming over scapegoat, under refloat.

Very good scoring. 4, 7 and 6.

Well played. Undercoat, which is where you always find your mobile.

Thanks, Richard. Angie, a very warm welcome to Pointless to you.

Now you started off at the BBC but you were a producer, weren't you?

Yes.

I worked at the Beeb as a producer but when I moved off to commercial,

that is when my production skills really came into being.

-But then you became a presenter, front of mic.

-Yeah.

What inspired that?

I actually did a voice-over in the tone of Mammy from Gone With The Wind

and I didn't know anybody was listening,

and I recorded it and that actually started off my voice-over career,

and then I went on to do presenting.

Now, Angie, words ending ..OAT. Our high score is 7.

Yeah. And two of mine that I thought of have gone.

-Same.

-I'm going to go with speedboat.

Speedboat, says Angie.

Let's see how many of our 100 people said speedboat.

It's pointless! What about that?!

Very well done, a pointless answer adds £250 to the jackpot,

taking it to £2,750 and scoring you nothing.

And earns you the respect of everyone in this room.

-Fantastic, speedboat.

-Well played, Angie.

I said there would be pointless answers with those compound words,

people are not sure whether they are one word or two words.

Speedboat, just the one word.

-There we go. Thank you.

-Look at that scoring.

Amazing. I mean this is proper, this is a words round,

nobody is wasting their chance here.

This is not like Pointless Celebrities at all.

No! LAUGHTER

We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at the scores.

Angie, the best score of the round, well done.

Angie and Penky looking very strong at this point.

Then we travel up to 4, where we find Jenni and Toby,

then up to 6 where we find Steve and Peter, then up to 7,

Bob and Janice. All lovely and close, all lovely and low,

but Janice and Bob, through no fault of your own, you find yourselves out in front.

Janice, we need a kind of pointlessy-type answer from you.

All mine have gone!

Well, very best of luck. We're going to come back down the line now,

could the second players please step up to the podium.

-Penky.

-Yes.

-Penky, welcome to Pointless.

-Nice to be here.

-Lovely to have you here.

What's happened to the prank phone call?

Well, the radio industry has almost self regulated and banned them.

-Really?

-So I've gone into the exciting world of internet radio.

I've done radio since I was 16, I've done it for 37 years now,

38 years. I love radio. Radio was my first love.

I've done bits of TV but radio really is what I love the most.

Well, best of luck with that, Penky. A fabulous score from Angie.

The pressure is on now, thanks, Angie.

Somewhat. Yes. We are looking for a word ending ..OAT.

I could ruin it for us here, Angie.

-No, you won't.

-I am going to go for...

-Take your time, Penky.

-This could be rather pathetic,

but I am going to go for the word boat.

Ooh!

What?!

What?

-Let's see...

-Shall I leave now?

Bye, everyone.

Let's see if that bobs about on the surface.

How many of our 100 people said boat?

Here is your red line. It's quite low.

If you get below that, you are through to the next round.

Oh, there we are. Penky...

Who knows, it's not necessarily curtains yet.

85 is your total.

-Boat, do you need a definition of boat?

-No.

No, I do not.

Peter, a very warm welcome to you. Lovely to have you here.

-Thank you.

-How long have you worked in broadcasting?

Almost forever. It goes back to about 1971, I think,

when I doorstepped a local radio station.

I heard about this, what was it, Radio Solent?

-It was.

-And you doorstepped them even before they had gone on air?

I did, it was the only way I would have got a job.

There was nobody there. And I went,

it was about three weeks before they went on air and I went in and said I

want to work for radio and they said, "Didn't you see the crowds outside?"

-Of course, I was able to say no.

-LAUGHTER

And they said, "They've been coming here every morning,

"they all want to be Tony Blackburn."

And I said, "Well, you can rest assured, my good woman,

"that I don't want to be Tony Blackburn."

-But he's done all right, hasn't he?

-He has, he has.

Peter, if you can score 78 or less, you are into the next round.

We're looking for words ending ..OAT.

Well, I am hoping that the Oxford English dictionary is up for this.

I was going to go for Serbo-Croat.

Oh, that's just great, isn't it?

Penky just walking out at that point.

Serbo-Croat, says Peter.

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

Serbo-Croat. There is your red line.

-Oh, no. Penky, come back.

-What's wrong with that?

-Penky.

-I'm here, everyone.

Serbo-Croat, that is an incorrect answer, Peter.

Scores you 100 points, that takes your total up to 106.

Peter, I only gave you two instructions at the start of this round.

I said no proper nouns and no hyphens and that is both.

-LAUGHTER

-Oh, dear.

-I'm really sorry.

-Two wrongs do not make a right, Peter.

-I'm so sorry. My apologies to Steve.

-OK, now Janice.

-Oh, hello.

-Janice, welcome back.

Janice, you were one of the presenters on Live Aid.

-I was.

-How was that?

-It was absolutely incredible.

Standing there and seeing the stadium fill with people,

you saw these little dots running in,

and then it just filled up and standing at the side of the stage,

they said to me, "Look, if anything goes wrong with Status Quo,

"you get on there. And I thought, "Doing what?

"I can tap dance but I don't think they're going to be interested in me

"doing that." So fortunately it started, do-do-do - it worked,

it kicked off and Tony Hadley and I from Spandau Ballet just looked at

each other and burst into tears.

It was brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

Amazing. Now, words ending ..OAT.

-What are you thinking?

-I've got a few,

but something very girlie I'm going to go for - petticoat.

Petticoat, says Janice.

Here is your red line, it's nice and high.

Very high. If you can get below that with petticoat,

you are through to Round Two. Let's see how many people said petticoat.

It's right.

Look at that, 5. APPLAUSE

-12 is your total.

-Very well played, Janice.

Safely through to the next round.

-Now, Toby.

-Hello.

-A very warm welcome to you, Toby.

-Thanks very much.

-Now, when you're doing your radio show,

how much preparation do you actually do beforehand?

There's quite a bit of prep to do.

I mean, because being on the radio every day,

there's always something that's happened, whatever it might be,

something to talk about. The time of day I'm on, between nine and one,

offices are talking about stuff that happened the night before on telly

or whatever it might be. You've got to be across what people are talking about at work, and everything else.

But there's a lot of music to play as well, so it's all good.

So you can do a bit of work while the songs are on.

Pop on Bohemian Rhapsody and go for a walk round the block.

-Yes, for 20 minutes!

-Yeah, fantastic.

So, Toby, great news - you are through to the last round.

It doesn't matter what you score, however,

I bet you have a great score there. What if you had a pointless answer?

-Wouldn't that be fantastic?

-Try boat.

I'm going to go with...

-gloat.

-Gloat, says Toby, gloat.

No red line for you. Let's see how far down the column we get with gloat.

Were you worried it might be wrong? It's fine, it's good, it's right.

36. 36.

Takes your total up to 40.

Well done, Toby, safely through as well.

Let's take a look at the pointless answers.

Dreamboat is a pointless answer. That's a nice one. Gelcoat,

which is the resin on something made of carbon fibre.

Housecoat, a pointless answer.

Longboat, Janice.

It was named after me.

Narrowboat, showboat, football fans would've got showboat.

Speedboat, Angie got that, tailcoat and yellowthroat.

Loads and loads of boats.

Dayboat, iceboat, fireboat, jetboat, swingboat, cockboat.

Thanks very much, Richard. So after the first round,

the pair who are heading home with our high score of 106,

-I am so sorry, Peter and Steve.

-Too clever by half.

I know, I was really looking forward to all the answers you were going to give in subsequent rounds.

Please come back, both of you, it's been lovely having you on.

Thank you so much, Peter and Steve, wonderful contestants.

APPLAUSE

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

And so now we're down to three pairs and at the end of this round,

obviously, we will have to say goodbye to another pair.

Best of luck to all three pairs.

Our category for Round Two is...

Celebrities. It is Celebrities.

Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to go first, who is going to go second,

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

OK, and the question concerns...

..famous Peters.

-Famous Peters. Richard.

-On each pass,

we're going to show you six clues to famous people known by the name

Peter, you just need to give us the most obscure answer, please.

There's going to be six on each pass, 12 in all.

-Very best of luck.

-OK, so we're looking for these famous Peters.

Here is the board of six and on it we have...

I will read those all one last time.

-Jenni.

-See, I think I know all of them. Bar one.

I'm going to go for the New Zealander who directed the 2005 film, King Kong.

-Peter Jackson.

-Peter Jackson, says Jenni.

Let's see if Peter Jackson is right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Peter Jackson.

It's not bad, Jenni, look at that. Good answer, 20, not bad at all.

Jenni has led us off in both rounds and lead us off impressively in both.

Also directed the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Peter Jackson.

Thanks very much.

-Janice.

-I know the first one, the fourth one is driving me mad,

the goalkeeper, because I know it and I can't bring it out.

Oh! Oh! I do know who that one is then.

I've just worked it out.

I was thinking The Thick Of It, Peter Capaldi.

Peter Capaldi, says Janice.

Let's see if that is right. How many people said Peter Capaldi?

It is right. Well, 20 is our only score so far,

Peter Capaldi passes that.

16. Well done. A new low score. APPLAUSE

Well played, Janice. Doctor Who as well, of course, now, more famously.

Indeed, indeed.

Now then, Penky, that board is all yours.

-Talk us through it.

-I wish I could.

The Dudley Moore one is driving me nuts because I do know who that is.

The first one is obviously Peter Andre.

I'm going to go for the fourth one, that I think is Peter Schmeichel.

Peter Schmeichel, says Penky.

Let's see if that is right, how many people said Peter Schmeichel?

41. APPLAUSE

-Richard.

-Well played, Penky.

David and Myra now emerging from behind the sofa.

It is just about safe. Actually,

the best three answers on the board there, so well played everybody.

The other ones, it is Peter Andre,

but that would have scored you 61 points.

The Russian tsar is Peter the Great.

That would have scored you 47.

And Dudley Moore's partner is Peter Cook, and he would have scored you 56.

We are halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.

16, Janice, well done. 16 is where you and Bob currently reside.

Then up to 20 where we find Jenni and Toby, then up to 41, Penky and Angie.

Angie, you will be the first person to have the next board so find a

really nice low score on there, I hope.

-Right, I shall try.

-And let's hope that keeps you in the game.

But we are going to come back down the line now.

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

OK, we are going to put six more Peters up on the board and here they come.

I'll read all those one last time.

Now then, Angie.

Let's hope there is something on there you like the look of.

I like the look of all of them but it's what has the less score,

isn't it? So I'm going to go with...

number one, which I think might be quite high but I'm going to go with it anyway.

-Peter Sellers.

-Peter Sellers, says Angie.

Peter Sellers. No red line for you as you are the highest scorers,

but let's see how many of our 100 said Peter Sellers.

It's right.

57. 57 takes the total up to 98. APPLAUSE

A big score for Peter Sellers.

Yes, I think Spike Milligan famously tells a story of being in a hotel

and Peter Sellers knocks on the door in the middle of the night.

Spike Milligan opens the door and Peter Sellers is stark naked

and just said, "Could you recommend a tailor?"

Thanks very much, Richard.

Bob, a little bit of pressure off you there. 81 is your target.

Score 81 or less and you're into the head-to-head.

Again, it's the choice, isn't it, of the one that has the lowest score.

I'm going to kind of go for the obvious here, though.

Winner of Best Video Brit Award in 1987 for his song, Sledgehammer.

-That's Peter Gabriel.

-Peter Gabriel, says Bob.

Here's your red line, nice and high.

Get below that with Peter Gabriel and you are through to the head-to-head.

Let's see how many people said Peter Gabriel.

It's right. And you're through.

Very well done.

Nicely done. Not bad scoring, actually either.

29.

I think that's the one that Angie was thinking of going for,

and it's a much lower score.

Also, lovely to hear Bob say Peter Gabriel, it sounds right.

I almost expected the track to start.

-Doo-doo-doo...

-In my head, it did.

Now then, Toby, you have to score 77 or less.

-Talk us through the board.

-What are we going to go with?

Politics or sport for me. I don't know four.

Six, no.

-How can you not know six?

-I know.

I will say former Labour MP who was the European Trade Commissioner

from 2004-2008.

-Peter Mandelson.

-Peter Mandelson, says Toby.

Let's see if that is right. Here is your red line.

Get below that and you are into the head-to-head.

It's right. You are into the head-to-head.

Not a bad answer by any means.

13 takes your total up to 33. APPLAUSE

A nice low score there.

Best answer on the board, Toby. Very well played.

So for the football one, you were going to go for...?

-Peter Crouch.

-Peter Crouch would've scored you more points but a correct

answer. It would have scored you 38 points.

Jenni was furious you didn't know the Columbo one. Jenni, that is...?

-Is that Peter Falk?

-Peter Falk. A big score, Peter Falk.

It would have scored you 59 points. Still would've seen you through.

-And the BAFTA winner for Lawrence of Arabia?

-Peter O'Toole.

-Peter O'Toole.

And that is 45 points.

Thanks very much, Richard. So at the end of our second round,

the pair heading home with our high score of 98,

I'm afraid, Angie and Penky, it is you.

-Angie, come back. Come back, Angie.

-I'd love to, any time,

you just invite me and I'll be here.

I mean, what a performance. You barely scored a thing.

And you have left the imprint of a small bird on this show,

so low were your scores.

Penky, um...

Is it boat?

Penky, it's been lovely having you on as well. Please will you come back as well?

-I will do.

-Sorry, it's far too soon to say goodbye to you but great contestants. Angie and Penky.

Thank you.

But for Janice and Bob, Jenni and Toby, it is time for our head-to-head.

Congratulations, Janice and Bob, Jenni and Toby.

You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our

jackpot which currently stands at £2,750.

So this is the round where we decide who goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot.

We do that by making you go head-to-head.

The big difference is that you are now allowed to confer before you give

your answers and the first player to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

The best of luck to both players. Let's play the head-to-head.

Here comes your first question, and it concerns...

Richard?

I'm going to play you five clips from TV quiz and game show themes

and you just have to identify the most obscure.

-Good luck.

-OK, let's play our five clips.

We have got...

A. MUSIC

B. MUSIC

C. TICKING

Oh, know that one!

MUSIC

D. MUSIC

And E. MUSIC

OK, there we are, five theme tunes to TV quiz and game shows.

Janice and Bob. Any ideas?

-I don't know.

-What do you reckon?

-Should we take a chance?

-Do you want to take a chance?

-Catchphrase, D.

-D, Catchphrase.

-I'm sorry if it's wrong.

-D, Catchphrase, say Janice and Bob.

Now then, Jenni and Toby. Talk us through all the others.

The first one, I think, was Blockbusters.

Blockbusters was A.

B was the fun one, which I thought was Fun House.

But then I thought, was it or was it Catchphrase?

But then you did Catchphrase.

-C was Countdown, wasn't it?

-Yeah.

-D, I thought, was Bullseye.

Oh...

-Yes, D was.

-THEY SING

-That's Bullseye.

-It is Bullseye.

Blockbuster, not Countdown, that's too obvious.

Blockbusters is obvious. I think we do Bullseye, D.

-D,

-Bullseye. Yeah.

OK. So we have D, Catchphrase and D, Bullseye.

Only one of you can be right. Janice and Bob went for Catchphrase.

Let's see if that's right for D.

I bet it is right.

Oh, it's not Catchphrase. Let's see if it's Bullseye.

Jenni and Toby, all it has to be is right and if it is, you will get the point.

-It is right.

-Yes!

Down it goes to 65.

But most importantly, it was right, which means Jenni and Toby,

after one question, you are up 1-nil.

Well played. Let's take a tiny listen to all of them

and I'll tell you what they are. A was...

MUSIC

Blockbusters, you are absolutely right.

And that would have scored 39 points, it would've been a better answer.

Now B, no-one's mentioned the right answer to this.

-MUSIC

-It is...

Wheel of Fortune.

12 points for the Wheel of Fortune.

-C is...

-MUSIC

Countdown, of course.

It would have scored you...

..82 points. 82 points.

And E is a big scorer.

-MUSIC

-I didn't get it.

-Do you know that one?

-It's The Krypton Factor, isn't it?

It's not The Krypton Factor, it's The Crystal Maze.

-Oh!

-The Crystal Maze.

That would have scored 43 points.

There we go. Thank you very much, Richard.

Here comes your second question, Jenni and Toby.

You get to answer it first but Janice and Bob,

you have to win this one to stay in the game so best of luck.

It concerns...

Famous Chat Show Moments.

We're going to show you clues now to five people who have been

through famous chat show moments.

Can you name the most obscure of these five, please?

Let's reveal our five people and here they are.

I'll read those all again.

Jenni and Toby will go first.

-I think definitely I know A.

-Yeah.

I think I know two, B, whatever number it is.

I think I know it but I would hate to be wrong.

-I don't know C.

-I'm pretty sure I know the fourth one.

And the fifth one is kind of a guess.

-I don't know the third one. The fourth one, D.

-Going for D.

The Hollywood actress who told Michael Parkinson...

-Are you sure?

-I've got to say the name of the Hollywood actress,

-I think it's Meg Ryan.

-Meg Ryan, say Jenni and Toby.

Janice agrees. Now then, Janice and Bob.

Talk us through the rest of that board.

Well, Tom Cruise jumped up and down on Oprah Winfrey's show.

And the pop group that walked out on Clive Anderson was the Bee Gees.

-Grace Jones slapped...

-Russell Harty.

-Dear Russell Harty.

And "this comedian was hit by a wrestler"...?

Jerry Lawler, on Letterman in '82.

-I don't know that one, Janice. Do you?

-No.

-No.

I've thought and nothing's happening.

My instinct is to go for Russell Harty.

I would go for Russell Harty.

We're going to go for Russell Harty as being the man that Grace Jones slapped.

Russell Harty. We have Meg Ryan and we have Russell Harty.

Jenni and Toby said Meg Ryan was the actress on Parkinson who said

"wrap it up". Let's see if that is right and how many people said it.

It's right.

6. APPLAUSE

6 for Meg Ryan.

That paid off. Janice and Bob, meanwhile,

have said Russell Harty was slapped by Grace Jones.

Let's see if that is right and how many people said Russell Harty.

It was Russell Harty.

Now this has to beat 6 for you to stay in the game.

16. APPLAUSE

16, very nearly a great answer there.

But very well done.

-That was all Jenni.

-After only two questions,

you are through 2-0 to the final.

-Well done.

-There's only one answer that would have beaten Meg Ryan there,

and as you can imagine it is the comedian, because Oprah Winfrey,

you are correct about the Tom Cruise one.

That would have scored you 37.

You are right about the Bee Gees as well, that would have scored 12.

This comedian, he concocted a famous feud with Jerry Lawler,

but they were actually best of friends.

It's Andy Kaufman.

Andy Kaufman, a pointless answer. Well done if you said that at home.

If you ever get a chance to read anything about Andy Kaufman,

it's an extraordinary life that he led.

He was Latka in Taxi, that's what he's famous for over here,

but in the States, an absolutely extraordinary figure.

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

So the pair are leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round is Janice and Bob.

I mean, you haven't put a foot wrong the whole way through the show.

But it's been wonderful having you on the show.

Thank you so much, Janice, for coming back and thank you for coming on, Bob.

We will see you again soon, I hope. In the meantime, thanks very much indeed.

-Janice and Bob, wonderful.

-Good luck.

But for Jenni and Toby, it's now time for our Pointless final.

APPLAUSE

Congratulations, Jenni and Toby, you have seen off all the

competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot for your charities.

At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,750.

APPLAUSE

Very well done. Toby, as you say, this is your second trophy.

I know, I love this show.

You get to choose your category from the four we put up on the board.

Let's hope there's something up there that you like the look of.

Here's today's selection. We have got...

-What about '95?

-'95.

-Is that good for you, does that resonate?

-That was a good year.

-Why?

-Should I ask?

-In fact, I started my TV career in '95.

That's the one you want? OK. That's the one.

Three categories and very different areas here.

So hopefully one of them suits your range of interests.

We are looking for the name of anyone who was in John Major's final

Cabinet in 1995, that's after the reshuffle in July.

Any member of John Major's Cabinet.

We're looking for any team that took part in the 1995 Rugby Union World

Cup, that's the finals of the Rugby Union World Cup in 1995,

or we are looking for any act that had a number one single or number one album

at any time in 1995, according to the Official Charts Company.

-Very best of luck.

-Very good.

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

I've thought of loads. All you need to do to win that jackpot

for your charities is for just one of your answers to be pointless.

-Are you ready? BOTH:

-Yes.

Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.

There you are. Your time starts now.

What about... Was Whigfield number one in '95, that kind of '95 era?

Erm, '94, '95.

I do the Time Tunnel on the radio, I should know this.

Come on. You must know '95 songs.

I'd go Whigfield, that was probably...

The Spice Girls were probably famous in that year, probably.

John Major's Cabinet...

Haddaway, What Is Love, I think, was '95.

I think we should just go for that.

-John Major's Cabinet...

-Politics, '95, so that was...

..just a couple of years before he got booted out.

Was that like Peter Mandelson and people like that?

-Well, no, that was the Labour Party.

-Was it? That'll be different then.

So let's go with the Tories, there were people like Norman Tebbit,

people like that were probably still knocking about then, I think.

-Are you confident enough to go for that one?

-10 seconds left.

Clearly, I would rather go for the third one.

-You want to go for three off that?

-Well...

We can go for one from the top and two from the bottom.

-You do one from the top.

-One from the top, two from the bottom.

-Yeah.

-OK, that's your time up.

-Let's have your three answers.

-Well, OK, I think we do Haddaway,

Whigfield and then you do one from the top.

-Haddaway, What Is Love...

-Haddaway, What Is Love.

-..as a UK number one in '95.

-Whigfield, Saturday Night.

-Whigfield, Saturday Night.

-OK, so Haddaway, Whigfield...

-And Kenneth Clarke.

Kenneth Clarke. OK.

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

Whigfield's nearer to being pointless, I reckon.

I think Kenneth Clarke, maybe least likely.

OK, Whigfield at the bottom, Ken Clarke at the top.

Let's pop those up on the board in that order them and here they are.

Three answers up on the board. I mean, who knows?

Let's hope three pointless answers, maybe.

Only one of them has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot and

if you do, £2,750 will be split between your charities.

What are your charities? Jenni?

Mine is the Children's Trust,

which helps children who suffer from any kind of brain injury.

-Excellent. Toby?

-Mine is the Make-A-Wish Foundation,

-which grants lovely wishes to very poorly kids.

-Wonderful.

APPLAUSE

Two excellent charities there.

Please can one of your answers be pointless so that you can split that

jackpot between your charities?

Now, your first answer was Ken Clarke.

We were looking for members of John Major's last Cabinet in 1995.

It has to be right, then it has to be pointless.

If it is both of those things you will win £2,750 for your charities.

How many people said Kenneth Clarke?

It's right. That's the first thing it had to be.

Now it has to be pointless.

If it goes all the way down to zero,

we can send you away with that jackpot for your charities.

Kenneth Clarke, going down to single figures, still going down...

Oh! APPLAUSE

4 for Kenneth Clarke.

Oh, it gets you there, doesn't it?

-Oh, my goodness.

-Sorry about that.

-Not a pointless answer.

-OK.

We now move onto UK number ones from 1995.

We were looking for acts which had UK number ones.

Toby, you do the Time Tunnel on the radio.

-It's not '95, I've just realised.

-Oh, Toby!

-Too late.

-No, no, no!

-OK, your next answer was Haddaway.

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

For £2,750, is it pointless?

'92, wasn't it? It was '92.

-Is it?

-'94?

-I don't know, it might be '92.

-OK.

-I reckon Whigfield is now going to be a different year.

Today's jackpot. Everything is now riding on Whigfield.

-It has to be correct and then it has to be pointless.

-Oh, no.

We are looking for UK number ones from 1995.

For £2,750, how many people said Whigfield?

-Oh...

-Do you know what it was? I was dancing to it in 1995.

-That's different, isn't it?

-Yeah.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless

answer so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,750.

However, as it is a celebrity special and each pair is playing for

a nominated charity, we are going to donate £500 to each celebrity pair

for their respective charities. So there you are.

Thank you. APPLAUSE

It has been wonderful having you on the show and don't forget,

you get to take home a Pointless trophy, so very well done.

Unlucky. You weren't far out with those songs.

Jenni, you are right, Whigfield was 1994 and Haddaway was 1993.

And it wasn't a number one, it was a number two hit, What Is Love.

Let's take a look at some pointless answers.

John Major's Cabinet. You could have a Gillian Shephard, John Gummer,

used to be John Selwyn Gummer, Stephen Dorrell,

Virginia Bottomley is a pointless answer.

Peter Lilley, William Waldegrave, Brian Mawhinney, lots of pointless answers on that.

Very well done if you got one of those.

The Rugby World Cup, four pointless answers here.

Now, acts who had singles or albums that were number one,

all of these on the board all had number one albums.

Boo Radleys had a number one album with Wake Up!

Other number one albums from Annie Lennox, Black Grape, Bon Jovi,

Bruce Springsteen, Elastica, The Levellers,

Pulp would have been a pointless answer with Different Class, Simply Red,

The Charlatans. Number one singles, you could have had Coolio,

would have been a great answer.

Livin' Joy, Outhere Brothers had two number one singles in that year.

You also could have had Rednex or Shaggy,

all of them were pointless answers.

So well done if you said any of them. And tough luck in the studio.

There we are. OK. Thank you very much indeed. Well, unfortunately,

we have to say goodbye to you, Jenni and Toby.

It has been fabulous having you on the show.

Toby and Jenni, coming back a second time.

Toby, two Pointless trophies.

Come back again. Why not get a third?

Brilliant having you on, thank you so much for playing.

Jenni and Toby. APPLAUSE

Join us next time when we will be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.

Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

-And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
