Episode 25 Pointless

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,

the quiz show where obvious answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything.

-Let's meet today's players.

-APPLAUSE

Now, first, we welcome Pete and Harry, our first pair on the show today.

-How do you two know each other, Pete?

-We're housemates up in Birmingham.

What do you like to get up to in your spare time, Pete?

In my spare time I like to do lots of driving.

I like to drive round the country as much as I possibly can.

-Wow. Do you own a pair of driving gloves?

-I wish I did. I wish I did.

Harry, how about you? What are your hobbies?

I quite enjoy cooking.

Would be good for today? Food and drink?

Yeah, if that came up, I think I'd do all right.

That'd be good. Pete, anything you want to add to that? Any favourites for you?

Pub knowledge geography would be good.

-Pub knowledge geography.

-Yeah, so not rivers or whether or...

-Depends which pub.

The Red Lion.

Red Lion level geography, we could do that, couldn't we?

Yeah, yeah. OK, lovely to have you on the show, Pete and Harry.

Very, best of luck. Welcome. Next, we welcome back

Annika and Ruth, who were on the show last time.

Everyone gets two chances to reach the final.

This is your second chance. Annika, what happened last time?

Well, somehow we made it to the head-to-head, but we were up against

-some very worthy competitors...

-Yeah, they were good.

-..and they pipped us to the post.

-Ruth.

-Yes.

-Remind us how you know each other.

We're friends from school, and then I went to uni in York,

-and Annika followed me because she loves me.

-Yeah.

Very good. Ruth, what do you hope is going to come up?

What's going to be good for you today?

I do watch a lot of cookery programmes.

-Hours I waste watching them.

-Waste?!

-No, I INVEST watching them.

So I'm hoping that... Yeah. I'm good at identifying food.

-OK, Annika, anything you're dreading?

-Difficult things.

-OK.

Difficult things. They do occasionally come up, but let's hope they don't today.

Lovely to have you back, very best of luck Annika and Ruth.

And next we welcome back Caroline and Alec. You were also on the show last time.

Caroline, remind us how you know each other?

Erm, Alec and I are boyfriend and girlfriend,

and we also work together, as well.

-Now, Alec, what happened last time?

-Salman Rushdie happened.

-Oh, yes. In Round One.

-I know!

-Tell you what, Richard?

-Mm-hmm?

I'm just feeling a bit... A little bit clean-shaven.

Slightly, sort of... A bit boyish.

-There's a lot of beards around, aren't there?

-A lot of beards. A lot of beards.

LAUGHTER

Particularly among the men.

-Oh, I hadn't noticed the men(!) Yeah, as you say, also some...

-Yeah.

-It's very much the fashion, isn't it?

-Isn't it?

-With some of the youngsters.

With some of the young. Now then, Caroline.

This time, we are thinking head-to-head at the very least, aren't we?

-That's very kind of you!

-What's going to get you there, Caroline?

Well, I would have said literature until the last one,

cos Alec does really well, and I'm not very good at literature,

which is what I glitched on that one.

So if literature comes up again, that'd be good.

Erm, we both love wrestling, and I quite like reading about

real crime and serial killers, as well, so if anything on that line... And Dolly Parton songs.

Fabulous. Alec, anything you want to add to that?

-It's quite a highbrow list, really.

-I'll say.

-We'll leave it there.

-We'll leave it.

Very best of luck, Caroline and Alec, it's lovely to have you back on the show.

And finally, we've got Andrea and Rachel.

-Now, how do you two know each other?

-We are sisters.

What do you like to get up to in your spare time, Andrea?

-One of my main hobbies is nail art.

-Nail art?

-Yes.

-Do you do your own nails?

-I do.

-What have you got on today?

I've painted some special, dedicated, Pointless nails today.

-I don't know if you're going to be able to see them, to be honest.

-Can we see those?

-Pointless.

-Look at that!

-Yeah, we want to score this one.

-There we are, very good indeed.

-Well, that's fantastic. Rachel.

-Hi.

-What do you do, Rachel?

I work in the NHS. I'm a cognitive behavioural psychotherapist.

-What do you like to get up to when you're not doing that?

-My main hobby is singing.

I'm part of an all-female a cappella harmony group in Sheffield.

What are you singing at the moment?

We have just mastered Blondie's Denis, and also

an older classic which I wasn't aware of called Chattanooga Choo Choo.

You weren't aware of Chattanooga Choo Choo?!

No, it has great harmonies, but some of us hadn't heard of it.

-"Dinner in the diner, nothing could be finer."

-"Nothing could be finer."

"Than to eat your ham and eggs in Carolina."

-Do you want to join?

-Yes!

-LAUGHTER

Good stuff, well, Andrea and Rachel, it's lovely having you on the show. Very best of luck.

We'll find out more about all of you as we go along.

There's only one person left for me to introduce.

If you want obscure questions and answers, he usually just appears as if by magic,

-and, yes, there he is. It's my Pointless friend, Richard.

-Hiya. Hiya.

APPLAUSE

-How are you today?

-I'm very well.

-Excellent. You look well.

-Thank you.

-That's good, two returning pairs, today.

Annika and Ruth were very good last time, weren't they?

Very unlucky in that head-to-head, very tough categories. They'll be tough to beat.

I quite like Caroline and Alec,

-but we saw so little of them.

-We saw hardly any of them.

-Alec was very unlucky,

he said Midnight's Child instead of Midnight's Children. That saw them knocked out.

So they may go a little bit further today, I think.

OK, well, thanks very much. All our questions on Pointless

have been put to 100 people before the show.

In order to get to the final round and be in with a chance of winning our jackpot,

our contestants need to find the obscure answers our 100 people didn't get.

So, the fewer of the 100 people who knew the answer,

the fewer points you will score.

What everyone is trying to do is to find a pointless answer,

an answer none of our 100 people gave. Each time that happens, we add £250 to the jackpot.

Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.

So, today's jackpot starts off at £4,250.

APPLAUSE

-OK, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

-APPLAUSE

OK, in this first round, each of you must give me one answer, and you cannot confer with your partner.

Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round

will be eliminated, so try and make sure that's not you.

OK, our first category for Round One today is...

royalty.

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

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

OK, the question concerns the royal family. Richard.

Yes, for this question we're going to show you an image showing lots of members of the UK Royal family,

can you name anybody on this image.

Obviously, the more obscure your answer, the fewer points you're going to score. Good luck.

OK, now then, Pete and Harry, you all drew lots before the show

and today you get to go first.

We're going to show you a photograph containing

members of the UK Royal family.

You have to name the most obscure person you think you can in that photograph.

Here is our image.

There you go. Pete.

Who is the most obscure member of the royal family in that photograph you can name?

Not really a strong subject, there.

I'm going to have to go for quite a safe one,

and go for Princess Eugenie

Princess Eugenie you're going to say.

Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Princess Eugenie.

Absolutely right.

-40.

-APPLAUSE

40 for Princess Eugenie.

Well played, Pete. There she is, she's sixth in line to the throne.

Sixth in line to the throne,

and Ruth, I have to point this out, does look quite like you.

-It's been said before.

-I bet it has.

-Yeah. And I'm not... OK. Thank you.

-She's lovely.

-Yeah, she is.

-It's better than looking like Martin McGuinness.

-LAUGHTER

Anyway, there we go. Now then, Annika,

Now then. Er...

I thought I would find this much easier, but I don't,

so I'm going to say Zara Phillips.

Zara Phillips says Annika. Zara Phillips.

Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Zara Phillips.

Absolutely right.

13.

-13 for Zara Phillips.

-Absolutely, and Annika looks a little bit like Zara Phillips, as well.

If she's going to look like any member of the Royal family...

-She does.

-14th in line to the throne, Mrs Michael Tindall

-is how she's described in the succession line.

-OK, now then, Alec.

-HE LAUGHS

-Er, Sophie, Duchess Of Wessex

Sophie, Duchess Of Wessex says Alec.

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

-Oh, bad luck, Alec!

-Oh!

Bad luck. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,

which means you score the maximum of 100 points.

-I'm really sorry.

-Yeah, sorry, Alec. One admires your consistency, though.

Er, but I'll give the correct answer at the end of the round.

-Now then, Rachel.

-Mm-hmm.

I...am going to have a bit of a guess on Princess Michael Of Kent.

OK, Princess Michael Of Kent says Rachel.

Let's see if it's right, how many people said Princess Michael Of Kent.

Absolutely right.

12.

-APPLAUSE

-Lowest score so far, Rachel.

Well played, Rachel. Good answer.

She was born Marie Christine von Reibnitz in what is now the Czech Republic.

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

Rachel and Andrea looking very strong indeed.

Lovely low score of 12.

Then up to 13 for Annika and Ruth. Up to 40 with Pete and Harry.

Quite a long way up. But, a roof over your head in the shape of Alec and Caroline, who are on 100 points.

-Caroline, it's not all over.

-It might be.

-Anything could happen next pass.

-Indeed.

Let's hope we get a low-scoring answer from you,

and let's hope it's enough to keep you in the game this time. Very, very best of luck with that.

OK, we're going to come back down the line. Can the second players take their places at the podium?

OK, so we're trying to name the members of the royal family

in the photograph behind me. Now, Andrea, you're on 12.

The high scorers are Caroline and Alec on 100.

If you can score 87 or less, you are through to the next round.

OK, I was quite worried going second between us, but...

I'm going to go with Princess Beatrice.

Princess Beatrice, says Andrea. Princess Beatrice.

Here comes your red line, nice and high.

Get below that, you're through to the next round.

How many people said Princess Beatrice? Is it right?

Absolutely right, and you're through to the next round. Very well done.

41.

-APPLAUSE

-41 takes your total up to 53.

Well played, Andrea. Did anything you had to do there.

Scores one more point than her sister, Eugenie.

OK, now then, Caroline and Alec, you are the high scorers on 100,

but Caroline, you could minimise the impact of that with a really low score now.

Erm, well,

I have an awful feeling that because there was maybe

a divorce involved, I can't remember if I'm saying the right name.

But I'm going to have a punt at Mark Phillips.

OK, well, let's see if it's right.

Mark Phillips, how many people said it?

-Oh, bad luck.

-Thought I'd keep him company.

-No, well done you.

Very well done you. That's an extremely decent thing to do.

I know.

I afraid that's an incorrect answer and scores a maximum of 100 points.

That takes your total up to an unbeatable 200 points.

I'm really sorry. Now then, Ruth.

Hello.

I'm going to say Prince Andrew.

Prince Andrew, says Ruth. Well, you're through whatever happens.

The high scorers are Caroline and Alec on 200.

They're way out of your reach, even if you score 100 points.

Prince Andrew, you say. Let's see if that's right,

let's see how many people said Prince Andrew.

Absolutely right.

62.

-APPLAUSE

-That takes your total up to 75.

Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, currently sitting at home saying to both of his daughters,

"That's famous. That's famous." LAUGHTER

-Thrashed them both.

-Yeah. Now then, Harry.

-Yes.

-Talk us through the picture, if you like.

Well, I don't think I can much. I can probably do the front row.

I want to try and go for one of the ones in the middle, just to see.

I've got two names going through my head, and I'm going to try Princess Anne.

-You sound unsure of that.

-Yeah, I'll be honest...

-You think that might be right?

-Yeah, I'm hoping.

-OK. Princess Anne.

Let's see if it's right, this Princess Anne Harry speaks of.

It is right.

72. 72, there we are.

-APPLAUSE

-That takes your total up to 112.

Yeah, great answer, Harry, yeah. Princess Anne.

Let's take a look at it here. Can you see that? She's the Queen's daughter.

-Her ex-husband Mark Phillips not...

-Not there.

-Not invited. That's weird, isn't it?

-Yep.

Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.

-There's a few pointless answers there.

-I reckon I could name everyone on that board.

-No way!

-I reckon I probably could.

-OK, go on.

-Go on.

-Commander Laurence.

-Commander Tim Laurence is there.

-Peter Phillips.

-Yeah.

Erm, Chatto, whatever his name is. Daniel Chatto.

-He's a pointless answer.

-Autumn Phillips.

-She's a pointless answer.

-Lady Sarah Chatto.

-Lady Sarah Chatto is a pointless answer.

-Prince Michael of Kent, with a beard.

-Prince Michael of Kent, the one with the beard. Yeah.

-Erm...

-Princess Alexandra, is that?

-Yeah, Princess Alexandra.

-She would've scored 10 points.

-Viscount Linley.

-Viscount Linley, 2 points.

-Serena Linley.

-Countess Linley is a pointless answer.

-Duke of Gloucester on the end.

-Is the final pointless answer.

-You got all five pointless answers.

-Duchess of Gloucester just in from him. Is that right?

-That is right.

-And then, the rest we all know.

-Absolutely right.

I've said it before, but...

APPLAUSE

-There we are.

-I have said it before, but boy, oh, boy, you're posh!

LAUGHTER Interestingly, we cropped it.

You're just to Daniel Chatto's left up there.

Oh, sorry, Alec, just to clear up, unfortunately,

it's not Sophie, Duchess of Wessex. She's the Countess of Wessex, I'm afraid.

Well, thank you very much, Richard.

So, our losing pair with the highest score, it's Alec and Caroline.

And it's so wrong. But you knew the answer really.

Oh, and it's just so unfair!

And in the first round again. Anyway, thanks so much for playing.

I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye, Caroline and Alec.

Thank you, thank you.

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

There's only going to be room for two pairs in our head-to-head, so one of the teams in front of me

will be leaving us at the end of this round.

Now, Andrea and Rachel, you were our lowest scorers that round.

You would seem to be the pair to beat.

But Annika and Ruth, snapping at your heels, not far ahead.

Pete and Harry, a little bit lucky there, I'd say.

Yes, the 200ers did you a massive favour.

Anyway, listen, very, very best of luck to all three pairs.

Let's play Round Two. Our category is...

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

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

OK, and our question concerns...

Richard.

On each pass, I'm going to show you the names of six top 40 singles

which were released on the Motown label.

You just have to tell us the name of the artist.

Obviously, the more obscure, the better. An incorrect answer scores 100 points.

There's 12 in all. 12 artists to guess at home. Good luck.

OK, so, we are looking for the artist had their first UK hit

with each of these songs. And we have got...

I'll read those all one last time.

So, there we are. Six Motown hits.

-Pete.

-Yes.

I'm going to go for Reach Out I'll Be There.

I'm going to go for the Four Tops.

Reach Out I'll Be There, the Four Tops, says Pete.

Let's see if that's right, how many people knew that? The Four Tops.

Very well done.

13.

Not bad at all. 13 for the Four Tops.

Well played, Pete. Good answer.

-Everyone at home will be singing by the end of this round.

-Yeah. Now then, Ruth.

Erm, I'm guessing.

I'm going to go for...

Stevie Wonder, Superstition.

Superstition, Stevie Wonder, says Ruth.

Let's see if that's right, how many people knew that answer?

It's right.

Ooh, not bad. 20.

-APPLAUSE

-Not bad at all.

Only 20 for that.

Well played, Ruth. One of the songs he sang at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert, of course.

And Andrea.

So, who had a UK hit with these songs?

Erm, I think Ben is Michael Jackson and Baby Love is the Supremes.

I don't know the others.

I'm going to go with Ben and Michael Jackson.

OK, Michael Jackson, Ben, says Andrea.

Let's see if that's right, how many people knew the answer? Michael Jackson.

Absolutely right.

33.

APPLAUSE

-Richard.

-Yes, taken from the film of the same name in 1972.

-It was actually written for Donny Osmond, originally.

-Was it?

Couldn't record it cos he was on tour, so Michael Jackson did it.

Actually, you'd have been slightly better off going for Baby Love.

You're right, it was the Supremes. 31 points, so not too much damage done.

Papa Was A Rollin' Stone is the Temptations.

That would have scored you 6 points.

And the best answer on the board is When You're Young And In Love.

The only hit they had over here, the Marvelettes.

4 points. Very well done if you said that.

OK, thanks very much indeed. We're halfway through the round, so let's take a look at those scores.

Pete and Harry looking very strong indeed on 13.

Then up to 20, where we find Ruth and Annika.

Add both those scores together and we come to 33,

which is where we find Andrea and Rachel.

Rachel, you're in front but not MASSIVELY in front.

A really good low-scoring answer from you will keep you in the game.

Best of luck. We're coming back down the line. Can the second players take their places at the podium?

OK, let's put six more songs on the board. And here they are...

I'll read those one last time.

Six Motown hits. So who had a UK hit with these songs?

Obviously, Rachel, you're going to try and find the one

you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.

You are the higher scores on 33.

We need a lovely low-scoring answer from you, Rachel.

I'm going to say that The Tears Of A Clown was by Smokey Robinson.

Smokey Robinson, you're saying, for Tears Of A Clown.

Let's see how many people said Smokey Robinson.

Absolutely right.

29. Not bad.

Takes your total up to 62.

Well played, Rachel. Another pretty big score though.

It was a number one single in 1970, Tears Of A Clown.

Now than, Anika.

The high scorers are Rachel and Andrea on 62. You're on 20.

If you can score 41 or less, you are through to the head-to-head.

That is a big ask!

I love Motown music in the disco

but I don't know who any of the artists are,

except perhaps Dancing On The Ceiling,

which I'm going to say Lionel Richie sang.

Was it by Lionel Richie?, How many people knew that answer?

Absolutely right.

You've done it!

31. Absolutely brilliant.

Very well done, Annika, once again. 51 is your total.

Well done, Annika. Top Ten hit in 1986.

Had that cool video where he was dancing,

well, he wasn't literally dancing on the ceiling,

but it looked like he was.

Based on a Fred Astaire movie. It's the same director.

-Stanley Donen.

-Fantastic. What year was that?

-'86.

-'86.

The year before Annika was born.

Yes... Harry.

-You're the last person to speak.

-Yes.

-The board is all yours.

The high scorers remain Rachel and Andrea on 62.

You are on 30 and if you can score 48 or less,

through you go to the head-to-head.

-Talk us through the board, Harry.

-I would love to be able to.

I can't even think of an artist from Motown Records,

so I'm just going to, I don't know...

End Of The Road and Aretha Franklin.

I know it's after her time, but I'll try it.

Aretha Franklin, you're saying, for End Of The Road.

Aretha Franklin. Here is a red line.

You've got to get below that.

Is it right though? Aretha Franklin, End Of The Road.

Bad luck.

Bad luck, Harry. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer

which scores you the maximum of 100 points.

That takes your total up to 113.

-The End Of The Road.

-Absolutely. Sorry, Harry.

End Of The Road wasn't Aretha Franklin.

It's actually the last Number One single Motown had in the UK

up to 2012. Boyz II Men, absolutely right, from 1992.

It would've scored eight points. I Heard It Through The Grapevine was...

-Sam Cooke.

-It's not, I'm afraid. It's Marvin Gaye.

It would've scored 32.

This Old Heart Of Mine, it's one I've been singing all round.

It's the Isley Brothers. Very well done if you said that. Ten points.

The best answer on the board, Behind The Groove.

Later Motown, I would say. Teena Marie.

That scores four points, so very well done if you said that.

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

the losing pair with the highest score, Harry and Pete,

it's you, with the End Of The Road. It's not the end of the road though.

We'll see you again next time.

We'll look forward to then.

Harry and Pete, meanwhile, thanks very much for playing.

Things are about to get more exciting now

as we enter the head-to-head.

Congratulations Andrea, Rachel, Annika and Ruth.

You are now only one round away from the final

and a chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at:

You're now going to go head-to-head.

The first pair to win two questions will play for the jackpot.

From here on in, you are allowed to confer,

so you can start playing as teams.

-Annika and Ruth, you've been here before.

-We have.

This is your second head-to-head. Last year you had a father

and son team to play against.

This time you've got a sister act. How are you feeling?

Blood is thicker than booze, perhaps,

but we have a strong bond as well.

The boys beat us last time so...

-..girl power.

-OK.

Well, very, very best of luck to both pairs.

Let's play the head-to-head.

Here comes your first question, and it concerns:

We're going to give you the initials of five island

and a town or city that's on that island.

Just need you to name us the more obscure of the five islands, please.

-Good luck.

-Thanks very much.

Let's reveal our five islands in an initial form. Here they are.

I'll read those one last time.

Now then, Andrea and Rachel.

you've played best throughout the show so far so you get to go first.

THEY WHISPER

There's only one we know for sure,

so we're going to take a guess that Jayapura and NG is New Guinea.

New Guinea for Jayapura. New Guinea. Now then, Anika and Ruth.

This is mighty tricky. We think IOM is probably the Isle of Man.

PR may be Puerto Rico.

I don't know if maybe MV stands for Moldova.

I'm not actually sure if that's an island.

NP, no idea.

I think we should go for PR, Puerto Rico.

I can hardly say the word said let's go for it.

PR. Puerto Rico.

So we have New Guinea, we have Puerto Rico

Andrea and Rachel said Jayapura was NG, New Guinea.

Let's see if that's right.

If it is, let's see how many people said New Guinea.

Absolutely right.

17 for New Guinea.

Very well done indeed. 17 for New Guinea.

Annika and Ruth, you have said PR for Puerto Rico

Let's see if that's right, and if it so, how many people said it.

Absolutely right.

50.

Wow.

Which means, Andrea and Rachel, after one question,

you are up one - nil

New Guinea was a terrific answer.

There's a couple of answers up there that would have beaten it.

IOM isn't one of them. That was, as you rightly said, Isle of Man.

But that would have scored you 81 points.

NP, Nassau is the capital of Bahamas

and it's on the island of New Providence. Four points.

Actually, the best answer on the board, Edgartown,

it's from an island just off the coast of America, Martha's Vineyard.

Martha's Vineyard.

That would've scored three points. Very well done if you said that.

Wow. OK, thanks very much. Here comes your second question.

Now then, Annika, Ruth.

You have to win this question to stay in the game.

-Come on!

-It's not fair.

It's eminently fair.

It's just what you have to do. OK. Here it comes.

Your second question concerns - the human body.

Richard.

Quite simply, five clues to facts about the human body.

Can you give us the most obscure answer?

Thank you very much indeed.

Let's reveal our five clues to facts about the human body,

and here they are. We have got:

I'll read those again.

There we are - five clues to facts about the human body.

Annika and Ruth, you go first.

You have to score as low as you possibly can here.

THEY WHISPER

OK. We are going to say the organ that stores bile

is the pancreas.

The pancreas you're saying.

The organ that stores bile. Andrea and Rachel.

We think we know all of the answers.

-Take us through them.

-We THINK.

Number of lungs in a human body is two.

The organ that neutralises and destroys drugs and toxins

is the liver.

Common name for the larynx is the throat, we think.

And the answer we want to give is the islets of Langerhans

are found in the kidney, but we're not 100%.

OK. You're going to say the kidney for the islets of Langerhans.

OK. So we have the pancreas,

where bile is stored, from Annika and Ruth.

Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.

Incorrect.

Incorrect.

Andrea and Rachel are saying the islets of Langerhans are found

in the kidney.

All you have to be at this stage is correct and if you are,

you go through to the final 2-0.

The islets of Langerhans. Are they in the kidney?

No! Two red crosses there!

Which means after two questions, Andrea and Rachel are still ahead 1-0.

The organ that stores bile is not the pancreas, it's the gallbladder.

That would've scored you 16.

The islets of Langerhans are not in the kidney.

-They're in the pancreas.

-Oh!

LAUGHTER

That would've scored you four points. Let's have a look through the board.

The number of lungs in a human body, unsurprisingly our 100 did well,

would've scored you 96 points,

although ironically it would've won the point for either one of you.

The organ that neutralises and destroys drugs and toxins

is the liver. That would've scored you 23.

And the common name for the larynx is the voice box,

which would've scored you 37. Let's start again.

OK, here comes our third question.

Again, Annika and Ruth have to win this question to stay in the game.

Or you both have to get it wrong.

Here it comes.

It concerns - famous people with food in their names.

Famous people with food in their names.

We'll show you five pictures of famous people

who have a foodstuff in their name.

Can you name the most obscure of these five? Good luck.

Five famous people with a foodstuff in their name.

And here they are. We have got:

OK, there we are. Five people with food in their names.

OK, Andrea and Rachel, you go first this time.

Erm...

OK, we know D and E,

but they're going to be the most popular ones.

We're trying to think of A but we can't quite get there.

So we're going to hope that D is the lesser of D and E.

We'll go with Anneka Rice.

OK, you're going to say Anneka Rice. Anneka Rice.

Now then, Annika and Ruth.

I knew I recognised her!

I don't know any of them apart from E so... We could - no.

-We're going to go with Alan Sugar.

-OK, Alan, Lord Sugar.

So Andrea and Rachel, you've gone for Anneka Rice.

Let's see if that's right and if it is,

let's see how many people said it.

Absolutely right.

54.

54.

Which means, Annika and Ruth, that is the score you have to beat with Lord Sugar.

Let's see if that's right and if it is,

let's see how many people said Lord Sugar.

It's right. There we are.

There we are.

After three questions, Andrea and Rachel,

you are through to the final 2-0.

People named after foodstuffs, there's Anneka Rice named after rice

and Alan Sugar named after the Alan fruit,

but the other three would all have won you that point.

A is Marc Almond.

He used to be the lead singer of Soft Cell

and he had a very successful solo career as well.

B is a Pointless answer.

He's the US baseball player Darryl Strawberry.

Pointless, very well done if you said Darryl Strawberry.

And C is the Bond producer, Albert Cubby Broccoli.

That would've scored you two points.

Very well done to anybody who got all five of those.

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

Our losing pair at the end of the head to head,

I'm afraid Annika and Ruth.

-Oh, bad luck! It just wasn't to be.

-It wasn't.

But you played your hearts out in both games.

Right through to the head-to-head.

-You know, it was...

-It wasn't close.

It wasn't close actually, was it. Thanks very much for playing, Ruth and Annika.

But for Andrea and Rachel, it's now time for our Pointless final.

Congratulations, Andrea and Rachel.

You have fought off all the competition

and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

Very well done.

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot

and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £4,250.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

You've done incredibly well.

You dazzled, with the possible exception of parts of the body.

Yeah. Overconfidence, I think.

The rules are very simple.

To win, all you have to do is find a Pointless answer.

We haven't had any Pointless answers on the show today.

You only have to find one now and you will leave with the jackpot.

Firstly you've got to choose a category.

You can choose from these five options. They are:

I'm thinking Pop Music or Actresses.

Definitely, cos Politics would be all you.

If it was British Pop Music, I'd go for that.

-I think British actresses.

-Yeah?

We're going to go for British actresses.

British actresses. OK, good luck.

Let's find out what the question is.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many

Catherine Zeta-Jones films as they could. Richard.

We're looking for any feature film made for cinema released

for which Catherine Zeta-Jones has received an acting credit

prior to the beginning of May 2012.

As always, no short films, TV films or documentaries

but voice performances do count. Very best of luck.

You have one minute to come up with three answers

and all you need to win that £4,250

is for just one of those answers to be Pointless.

Are you ready? Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.

There they are. Your time starts now.

OK. Why are we laughing?

Cos you mentioned the song about Catherine Zeta-Jones, Chicago, the other day.

Chicago.

I was thinking, what if that came up?

Mask Of Zorro is obviously...

Mask Of Zorro 2?

Maybe more, I can't remember what they're called. She was in...

Was it Traffic, a film about drugs?

I think people won't associate that with her.

I think I've only seen her in Chicago. I don't know.

Before she became a big Hollywood actress,

she was in British films - something to do with surfing possibly.

I'll take a punt. I think it might be Blue Juice?

But that could be completely wrong.

I think we should go Traffic and Blue Juice,

and then obscure...

I don't know. The best answer I came up with is Mask Of Zorro 2.

-Ten seconds.

-Can you remember the name?

Return Of The Mask Of Zorro, or something like that?

OK. There's your time up.

We were looking for Catherine Zeta-Jones films.

I now need your three answers.

So we'll go for, what do you want to call the Mask Of Zorro one?

The Mask Of Zorro 2? We're not confident on that but...

OK. Mask Of Zorro 2.

-Traffic.

-Traffic.

-And Blue Juice.

-And Blue Juice.

Now of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a Pointless answer?

Blue Juice, if it's right.

OK, we'll put Blue Juice last.

Which do you think is your least likely?

I guess Mask Of Zorro 2.

OK we'll put that first.

Let's pop those on the board in that order. We have got:

We were looking for Catherine Zeta-Jones films.

Mask Of Zorro 2 is your least likely shot, your least confident answer.

Remember you only have to find one Pointless answer to win that jackpot.

£4,250.

Let's see how many people said the Mask Of Zorro 2. Is it right?

Bad luck. Bad luck.

Unfortunately Mask Of Zorro 2 is an incorrect answer.

So you only have two more chances to win today's jackpot

but then you weren't expecting that.

I would've been very surprised if that was Pointless.

That would've been too easy.

So everything is now resting on your last two answers,

which are of course Traffic and Blue Juice.

Let's say one of those were to be Pointless,

and you were to win that £4,250 jackpot.

Rachel, what would you do with that?

It's definitely going to go towards a plan my dad and I have

to have a big family holiday in Australia and New Zealand

next year, because we've got lots of relatives over there.

Very good indeed. Now then, Andrea.

I would definitely have to...

take my dream holiday to Egypt and make it a very luxury holiday,

five-star of course.

Very best of luck. Let's hope nobody said your next answer, Traffic.

This has to be correct obviously, and then it has to be Pointless.

So for £4,250, let's see how many of our 100 people said Traffic.

Absolutely right.

Your first answer the Mask Of Zorro 2 was an incorrect answer.

Traffic is correct.

Down it goes into the 20s, into the teens, into single figures.

If this stops...

Four.

That's a great answer but unfortunately not a Pointless answer

and in this round, we're only interested in Pointless answers.

Blue Juice.

If that's right, and you just remembered it from the back of your mind...

I've got a picture in my mind of her with a surfboard.

It was before she was really famous.

Very good tactics.

All my faith in Rachel!

We're looking for Catherine Zeta-Jones films.

Your final and most confident shot at a Pointless answer, is Blue Juice.

If this is right and it's Pointless, it will win for you £4,250.

It has to be both of those things. Let's see.

Blue Juice, is it Pointless and how many people said it?

It's right.

You said if it was right, this had every chance of being Pointless.

Traffic took us down to four. Mask of Zorro 2 was incorrect.

But Blue Juice is taking us down...

Oh, one! One!

No!

LAUGHTER

Oh, bad luck!

Unfortunately though, you didn't manage to find that all-important

Pointless answer, but you do still take home a Pointless trophy,

so very, very well done.

APPLAUSE

Some terrific answers. I think you pretty much went for what I would've gone for

so I wouldn't have won the money either.

There was a follow-up to The Mask Of Zorro - The Legend Of Zorro

and that would've scored you one, so it would've prolonged the agony.

Let's take a look at some of the Pointless answers.

You'll recognise a few of them.

A very early film of hers Christopher Columbus: The Discovery.

Death Defying Acts, she plays a conman who tries to trick Harry Houdini.

High Fidelity, she plays the long-suffering girlfriend in that.

That's a Pointless answer.

Les 1001 Nuits, based on the adventures of Sheherazade.

No Reservations, where she plays a Manhattan chef,

who has to take custody of her niece.

Sinbad: Legend Of The Seven Seas, she's a voice actress in that.

Splitting Heirs, the Eric Idle comedy.

The Phantom, the superhero film with Billy Zane. And The Rebound.

Those are all Pointless answers so well done if you said any of those.

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

Did you know any of those?

I recognise a few but they did not come to my mind so...

It was a hard one.

Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you but it's been brilliant having you.

Thank you both so much for playing. Great contestants.

APPLAUSE

Andrea and Rachel didn't win our jackpot today which means

it rolls over onto the next show, when we will be playing for £5,250.

Join us then to see if someone can win it.

-Meanwhile it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

-And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
