APPLAUSE
Thank you very much indeed.
Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
and a very warm welcome
to Pointless Celebrities,
the quiz where the more obscure
your knowledge, the better
your chances of winning.
Let's meet this evening's
Pointless Celebrities.
And couple number one.
Hello, there. I'm Jenni Falconer,
and I am a television
and radio presenter,
and I wake the nation up
on Heart every morning.
And I'm Dominic Littlewood,
and I'm most recently famed
for bringing awareness
to men's cancers.
As you know, Alexander,
because myself
and seven other celebrities stood
on the stage in front of cameras
and a live audience and went naked.
Although your part in the show
was a lot bigger than mine.
Couple number two.
Hi, I'm Kate Thornton, and
I'm a radio and TV presenter.
And I'm Mark Durden-Smith,
and I'm a mere TV presenter,
but megastar who presents rugby
on Channel Five.
Couple number three.
I'm Nikki Fox. I'm not a megastar.
I'm the BBC's disability
correspondent
and Watchdog presenter,
and I came last on
Celebrity Mastermind,
so wish me luck.
And I'm Susannah Streeter,
and I'm a BBC business presenter.
I'm also a mother of three,
so I'm looking forward
to embarrassing them all.
And, finally, couple number four.
I'm Paul Ross. I'm on the radios
overnight for talkSPORT.
And I'm Nick Hancock.
I used to be a TV presenter,
but now I'm back on the Bins.
Thank you very much, all of you!
A very warm welcome to the show.
Lovely to have you with us.
We'll get to chat a lot more,
of course,
throughout the show as it goes on.
So that just leaves one more person
for me to introduce.
Containing no artificial additives
or preservatives,
but needing to be consumed
within four days of opening,
it's my Pointless friend,
it's Richard.
Hiya.
Evening, everybody.
Good evening to you.
Good evening.
This is like a Pointless superstars,
this!
Isn't it?!
Blimey, Dom and Jenni!
They've both been through
to a final.
Mark Durden-Smith has been through
to a final as well.
Paul Ross has been through
to a final.
Nick Hancock, a head-to-head.
So there's some very, very smart
players out here -
the ones who've done it before.
There we are.
Thank you very much, Richard.
Now, as usual, all of today's
questions have been put to
100 people before the show.
All our contestants have to do
is try and find one of those
all-important pointless answers -
an answer that none of
our 100 people gave.
Find one of those,
we will add £250 to the jackpot.
Now, as today's show's
a celebrity special
and each of our celebrities is
playing for a nominated charity,
we're going to start with
a jackpot of £2,500.
There it is.
Right, if everyone's ready,
let's play Pointless.
Just so you know, it will be
the pair with the highest score
at the end of each round
that gets eliminated.
Best of luck to all four pairs.
Our first category this evening
is...
Can you all decide in your pairs
who wants to go first,
who wants to go second,
and whoever's going first,
please step up to the podium.
OK. And the question concerns...
Richard? We're going to
show you 16 flags now.
They've all got stars on them,
somewhere or other.
Can you tell us which countries
these are the flags off, please?
I can't help you, can I?
Thank you very much.
So an image is going to go up.
It stays for the whole round, OK?
And here is that image.
There you go.
Now, Jenni, welcome. Oh, why?
Why am I going first?
Welcome back to Pointless, Jenni.
Now, listen, I want to ask -
you've done some crazy number
of marathons, haven't you?
Yeah, I do.
I like a little bit of running.
I've done eight marathons.
Eight! Yes.
The other thing I want to ask you -
you've got a range?
You've launched a sportswear range?
So, I did have a sportswear range.
But actually,
I have a running podcast now.
So I've shifted clothing for
something people can listen to.
So I have a podcast
that motivates people.
That they listen to
as they are ajog?
You listen to it while you run.
While you're jogging,
you can listen.
It's about the feel-good of running.
It kind of motivates you
while you run.
Do you run? Do you want to come
on it? No! Sorry, no.
Sorry.
No, I don't and no, I don't.
You know?
Anyway, listen, enough of that!
Jenni, flags with stars!
Oh, God!
This is horrific.
OK, let's go with Bolivia.
Bolivia, says Jenni.
Let's see if Bolivia's right.
Let's see how many of our 100 people
said it, if it is.
No, bad luck, Jenni!
I'm afraid not Bolivia. Sorry.
That may very well not be
the last 100 points of the round.
Yeah, sorry, Jenni. But well done
avoiding the obvious answers.
The Bolivian flag is
a monkey riding a horse.
It's not, but that flag idea
is still available.
Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
Now, Mark, good to have you with us
once again.
I didn't know that you were sent out
to ask Gwyneth Paltrow
out on a date.
Rather personal to bring up
in front of all these people!
When did this happen?
There was never going to be a chance
in hell that I was going to get
a yes from Gwyneth Paltrow,
but she'd apparently said that
all us British gentlemen
were too reserved to ask her out
on a date.
So I was working on an award-winning
breakfast show called Rise
on Channel 4...
Actually, we didn't get any awards.
A show called Rise.
And I was sent out as an Englishman
to go and ask her on a date.
So I was sent off to France
on a limo-bike.
It was all very exciting.
And I went through
the normal interview,
and then I said at the end,
"Gwyneth, would you like to
come out on a date?"
Then security grabbed my collar,
and off I went.
So that was the end of my moment
with Gwyneth.
But, you know, in hindsight,
maybe she should've
taken a different option.
It feels like you dodged a bullet
there, I'll be honest.
Don't you think? Well,
I'd have amazing skin, wouldn't I?
If I'd married Gwyneth.
Yeah, that's true.
Expensive skin, certainly.
I could do a downward dog.
All right, enough of that, Mark.
Right, now,
what about our flags, here?
Starry flags.
I am going to say...
..Afghanistan.
Afghanistan. Let's see if
Afghanistan has a flag
on that board.
Nope, I'm afraid not.
That's 100 points for you as well.
Like I said, Jenni,
I knew it wouldn't be the last.
This is going well, isn't it?
Isn't it?!
Yeah.
Should've made it easier.
Yeah, or...
It's quite fun for the rest of us,
to be fair.
Thank you very much indeed.
Susannah, when you were working
as a reporter,
you went so far as to join
the Royal Auxiliary Air Force.
I did, yes. That is so impressive.
Has no-one else ever thought
of that?
Well, actually, quite a few people.
We did have a squadron.
It wasn't just me.
OK. So we had a whole squadron,
and I became one of
the squadron leaders after...
You were a squadron leader?!
I was a squadron leader.
Well, I'm a retired squadron leader.
Squadron Leader (Ret'd)?
Yes, that's it.
That's impressive.
It was very exciting.
But then, of course, I had children
and my exciting days
were kind of over until I came here.
Into the cut-throat world of
business, though! Business!
Anyway, Susannah.
To which countries do
these flags belong?
I think I'm going to play it safe
and I'm going to go for Israel.
Israel, says Susannah.
OK, let's see how many of
our 100 people said Israel.
Israel is right.
Down it goes to 69. There we are.
I played it too safe.
Good girl.
Yeah, there it is. The blue and
white one up at the top, there,
with the Star of David
in the middle of it is Israel.
Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
Nick Hancock. Hello.
Welcome back to Pointless.
Thank you.
And welcome back to acting.
This is very exciting.
You've pulled your tights on again?
I have, yes.
It's not very exciting
for the audiences,
but it's great fun for me.
Fantastic.
And you're doing a show as well?
A stage show?
Yeah, I've been doing a show with
Matt Dawson and Phil Tufnell.
But, yeah, I mean,
I try not to plan too far ahead
because my girlfriend's
very, very busy.
Gwyneth Paltrow.
So we don't always have time.
Sure. Well, exactly.
There we are.
Now, Nick, put us all to shame.
Come on, let's have
a nice low starry flag.
Oh!
I'm going to go...
..for Cuba.
Cuba, says Nick.
Let's see if it's right.
Let's see how many of
our 100 people said Cuba.
It's right, Nick! Come on!
Yeah, you got it. Wow!
Down it goes to 19.
Very well done indeed!
19 for Cuba.
Well played, Nick. I think
that's the best flag on the board,
the Cuban flag, in
the bottom right-hand corner.
That's a classy flag.
Yeah, they've got
a little bit of everything.
And, pleasingly, that wasn't
the one I thought it was.
Just to say...
Absolutely.
Listen, we're halfway
through the round.
We'd better have a little recap
of those scores.
The best score of the pass
by some margin was yours, Nick.
Very well done indeed,
Nick and Paul on 19.
Then up to 69, where
we find Susannah and Nikki.
And then up to 100,
where we find Mark and Kate
and Dominic and Jenni.
So it's essentially going to be
a tussle between the two of you
to see which pair stays, and which
leaves at the end of the round.
We're going to come back down
the line now.
Will the second players please
step up to the podium?
Paul, welcome.
Welcome, welcome.
So, there you are,
doing your radio show from
one until four every morning.
Like a vampire - one until five.
One until five!
As the sun comes up,
I have to leave.
Is it the end of your day,
or the beginning of your day?
It's kind of the end of the day.
I tend to go indoors,
let the dogs out,
have a bowl of cornflakes
and hit the hay.
Yeah. Then wake up for Pointless,
of course. Teatime.
That's what you do, isn't it?
You wake up for Pointless.
Sometimes. Sometimes, yeah.
Now, Paul, there you are,
you're on 19.
If you can score 80 or less,
round two beckons.
I think it's a vague punt,
but I think I'll go for
a single star flag,
and I'm going to say Pakistan.
Pakistan, says Paul.
Let's see if it's right.
Let's see how many of
our 100 people said Pakistan.
Here's your red line.
It is right, and you're through.
Very well done on the far podium.
Our first official round-twoers.
31 is your score.
A lovely round total of 50.
Well played, Paul, yeah.
White star, white stripe
and white crescent moon.
Yeah, Pakistan. Keep it simple.
Nice! Now, Nikki,
welcome to Pointless.
Thank you. Watchdog?
I mean, how much fun is that?
It's so much fun. Especially
doing it with Matt and Steph.
They're just the best people
to present with.
Just really good friends.
I'm kind of thinking more
about customer relations,
customer services.
I mean, presumably...
And the good that we do.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah, the good you do for
the country. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, when you go into a shop,
presumably, people look after you.
Yeah, I have noticed that.
It's a bit difficult for me
because I'm always in charge
of the Swab Mob, so I do anything
that's to do with filth...
..dirt... Yeah.
..rubbish.
If you stay in a hotel... Oh, no.
..don't put your toothbrush
on the sink.
We need dirt, though. Dirt's good.
Yeah, we do.
Dirt's good, yeah. We do need...
I'm quite dirty. I'll eat food
off the floor and all sorts.
I eat food literally off basins
in hotel rooms, so...
Hasn't done me any harm at all.
Now, Nikki - flags with stars on.
OK.
I'm just going to go with
New Zealand.
New Zealand.
OK. Here is your red line.
Shall we see? Can you get close
to that red line with New Zealand?
It's right.
Oh, I think that's good enough.
53 takes you up to 122.
Yeah. They decided to have
a new flag, New Zealand.
They let people design new flags.
Then they had a referendum
to choose between the new flag
and the old flag, and
they chose the old flag.
So that was a waste of
everyone's time, wasn't it?
Thank you very much, Richard.
Now, Kate.
Hi.
What about White Wine Question Time?
What about it? What about that?
It's three friends, three questions,
three glasses of wine.
What do you talk about?
Anything? Everything.
Everything.
And, it being a podcast,
you really can.
I'll give you one question.
OK, go on.
So, you have
ten minutes of your life
that you have to relive
on a loop forever.
What are your ten minutes? OK.
I'm not going to tell you that now.
No, I know. That's just
to give you a flavour.
I would go for the ten minutes
before I agreed to do the podcast.
That's what I'd go for.
Thank you, Richard.
That's clever, isn't it?
Yeah, clever.
OK, now... Yeah.
What are you going to go for, Kate?
You just have to score
as little as possible.
Ideally, you want to score 21
or less. 21 or less.
Well...
We're looking for
the most obscure answer?
Yeah, welcome to Pointless, Kate.
I know, I know!
Yeah. I'm just...
Do it. Do what you've got to do.
I don't know.
Well, I'm just going to go
Australia.
Australia, OK.
I'm going to have to.
Cos it's the only one
I'm convinced of. Why not?
Apart from the other one. Why not?
There is your red line.
Let's see what happens when
we say Australia.
Oh!
OK. Well, we gave it a go.
I gave it a go.
I mean, it is
the thing to do, I think,
because Dom now has to get
a correct answer.
And we've seen a lot of
incorrect answers.
And you've taken an easier one
off the board.
Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
Now, Dominic.
Dominic. Mm.
You've just been doing
Dom Does America.
Yes.
In which you got tasered.
Yeah.
When you join a police force,
you have to be tasered.
This is in Texas.
And they hit me with a Taser -
50,000 volts -
for the full five seconds.
They call it
the full lightning ride.
It was the worst five seconds
of my life.
They said, "Before you do it,
we suggest going to the toilet
"and empty your bowels and bladder"
which gives you an idea
of how painful it was.
I found out afterwards that,
when the police do it,
they turn the timing down and
they only have two seconds of it.
Oh, they gave you five?
They give me the full ride,
the full lightning ride.
I hope they also
gave you a certificate.
No, they gave me a scar on the back,
because they have to pull the prongs
out your back.
So I got two nasty scars.
I think they should give you
a photograph,
like they do on roller-coasters.
Yeah.
It was honestly...
I'm glad I've done it,
because I've experienced it,
but I never want it again.
Oh, Dom, well done, you!
I have to say.
I think I'd probably duck out
of that day's filming.
Anyway, listen, you've got a target.
84 or less.
The obvious one, there,
I don't think is going
to get a higher score.
So I'm going to wing it now.
So, if I get it wrong,
I apologise, Jenni.
Oh, well...
I'm going to go for...
..Iranian flag.
Iran, says Dominic.
Here's your red line.
It's nice and high.
Iran. Let's see how many
of our 100 people said Iran.
Ah, no!
Ah! Five seconds of agony.
Oh, dear.
Dom, I'm sorry.
That was a punchy and
very gutsy call, though.
That's exactly what
we like on the show.
I had no option. If I went for
the really obvious one on there,
we'd still be going home.
I think you're probably right.
But very well done.
That was a good thing to do.
200, though, is your total.
Yeah, had to take the risk,
and the delight on the faces of
Kate and Mark, I have to say.
I know you can't see them,
but you've made two people
very, very happy.
USA was the obvious one, there.
It would have scored you
too many points,
you were absolutely right.
89 points.
So you had to go for a risk.
Now, let's go through
the rest of these.
Any one you fancy having a go at?
Erm...
China is...
China is the top right-hand corner.
Yeah, that would have scored 50.
This one... I know we've
talked about this one.
We've talked about that.
Is it Kuwait?
Oh, who said Kuwait?
Is it Kuwait?
It's not, no.
I thought it was. Some people
at home know their flags,
so let's go through these, shall we,
and see what you scored?
We'll start on that top row.
That one is Ghana.
For six points.
The second row...
Panama would have scored you
eight points.
This is a cool flag.
And this is Somalia. Nice.
It would have scored you six.
Now, this next row down.
They're all low scorers,
I have to say.
Morocco. Oh, sorry.
Were you going to say Morocco?
I was going to say Morocco.
That one I had... Yeah.
Why don't I say?
And this next one down?
Morocco. Morocco is right.
So he did know! I believe him.
LAUGHTER
Cynical. So cynical.
So cynical.
Nine points for Morocco.
Next to Morocco is Venezuela,
which would have scored you four.
This next one... Look at it!
I didn't know this one.
It's like Christmas.
It's Burundi. Wow.
That would have scored one point.
Well done if you said that.
Now, this one on the bottom left.
We've had this before.
It's Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ah!
Would have scored four.
Next to that, Chile.
That would have scored 11.
And next to that,
another very cool flag.
And that is Vietnam.
And that would have scored 13.
Well done if you said that.
Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
We find ourselves at the end
of our first round,
which means we have to say goodbye
to one of our pairs.
Dom and Jenni, I'm so sorry.
It's you.
Far too soon to be sending you home.
Thank you for playing,
Dominic and Jenni.
Please come and play again.
Wonderful.
But, for the remaining three pairs,
it is now time for round two!
Oh, well done, everybody!
We made it through the flags round.
Some of it, only just.
Best to luck to everyone
for round two.
Our category for round two
this evening 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 the question concerns...
Yeah, on each board we're going to
show you definitions
of six words.
They all happen to be the titles
of Hitchcock films as well.
We'll give you the initial letter of
that word
and the number of letters in it as
well. But six definitions of words.
What are these words, please?
There we are. Couldn't be simpler.
OK, here's our first board
of six definitions.
I'll read those clues again.
Kate. Hi.
Hi, Kate.
This is fine.
Forget the Hitchcock bit.
It's just, "What words are these?"
You've got this. You've got it.
Come on. You got it.
Vertigo.
You're going to go for Vertigo,
for the one beginning with V?
I was trying to go for
something smarter.
That's as smart as I can do.
Listen, smart enough.
Let's see how many of
our 100 people said Vertigo.
Vertigo... Oh, you see?
It's right.
That's why I didn't want Vertigo.
It's better than my 100 last time.
There we are. 93 is fine.
This is an improvement.
You've come back from worse.
Miraculously.
Oh, thank you. That's so
brilliantly patronising.
Yeah, a poll in 2012 by
the British Film Institute
said that was
the greatest film of all time.
Meh. It's OK.
I mean, listen,
you want to be six foot seven!
I get it all the time, but it's...
Yeah, OK.
Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
Susannah, all these are descriptions
of one-word
Alfred Hitchcock film titles.
What are they?
Blackmail.
Blackmail, for the one
beginning with B?
Mm-hmm.
Top one. Let's see how many of
our 100 people said Blackmail.
Blackmail is absolutely right.
93's our only score so far.
That's not bad.
We now have a low score of 67.
Yeah, that was Hitchcock's
first talkie, Blackmail.
It's got a sequence where they have
a chase through the British Museum,
and across the roof
of the British Museum.
Thank you very much indeed.
Now, Paul, this is your board.
Do you want to talk us
through it all?
Fill in as many blanks as you can.
There's one I'm not sure of.
Tell us all the rest. OK.
The penultimate film
Hitchcock made is Frenzy,
and that was shot in this country.
Rope is the one he did
in a single take -
a remarkable film.
I'm not sure of the D.
I can't remember
what the D might be,
but I'm going to go
for the bottom one.
One of his '60s films. Overlooked.
I think this is Topaz.
Topaz.
Topaz. Oh, good!
Can I just commend you, Paul?
No-one on Celebrity Pointless,
or even normal Pointless,
has ever said "overlooked"...
..when they've gone through a board.
I mean, that's amazing.
That's wonderful. Who wins in
the being patronised race now?
Me or Kate?
Even when I'm sincere,
it comes across as patronising.
I deserved to be patronised!
You were brilliant!
OK, Topaz. Let's see how many of
our 100 people went for Topaz.
It's right.
Well played. It actually scores
slightly more than Frenzy.
Frenzy would have scored you 37.
Not a huge amount of difference.
Rope is a very big scorer.
That would have scored you 87.
And the best answer is
the one you couldn't remember.
You'll remember it
as soon as I say it...
Downhill.
Downhill, yeah. Well done.
That would have scored 15.
Thank you very much indeed.
We're halfway through the round.
Let's look at those scores.
44, the best score of the pass.
Very well done to you, Paul.
Then 67 is where
we find Susannah and Nikki.
Then 93 is where
we find Kate and Mark.
The game is not over yet.
Good luck with that.
We're going to come back down
the line now.
Will the second players please
step up to the podium?
OK, now, time to put
six more definitions
of single-word Hitchcock film titles
on the board.
And here they are.
We have got...
I'll read those again for you.
There we are.
So, Nick...
At this early stage of the pass,
48 or less
guarantees you a place
in the next round.
OK.
Well, I'm going to go for Notorious.
Notorious, says Nick.
Here is your red line.
Can you get below that red line
with Notorious?
It's right.
It gets you to 57.
Not bad at all.
Very well played, Nick.
Yeah, named after the Duran Duran
song of the same name.
LAUGHTER
Thank you very much indeed.
Now, then, Nikki.
And, by the way, your target
is 33 at this stage.
OK. I'm just actually checking
the letters on my fingers,
as if I was at school.
Just checking it was a ten.
I think I know what
I'm going for, Xander.
What are you going to go for?
"Fascinated, holding the complete
attention of someone
"as though by magic."
S-P-E-L... That's what I was doing.
Spellbound?
Spellbound, says Nicky.
Here is your red line.
Can you get below that?
Let's find out with Spellbound.
It's right!
And you can!
Look at that, down to 30.
Very well done indeed.
Very well played. He was nominated
for a Best Director Oscar for that.
Never won the Best Director Oscar.
Won an honorary one, but never won
for one of his films.
Amazing. Extraordinary.
Yeah, you and I have got
as many Best Director Oscars
as Alfred Hitchcock.
That's nice. Between us, yes.
It's pretty good, isn't it?
Pretty good.
Not bad at all. Thank you very much.
Now, Mark. Now, listen,
you have to score seven or less.
Seven. Seven or less.
I bet there might be
a low score... Well, there might.
There might be a low score on there.
So, am I allowed to talk you
through the board?
I think you should.
This won't take long.
Yes. Um...
So, a small vessel.
I'm thinking it's a lifeboat.
A feeling or thought
that something's
possible, likely or true -
a suspicion.
I think I counted that right.
Champagne.
And then the one that's probably...
I don't think we've got
a cat's own chance of getting
seven on any of them, actually.
But "informally, an unstable
and aggressive person
"beginning with P"
is a pillock. Is it a pillock?
No! No? OK, I'm going to go for
"a feeling or thought
"that something's possible,
likely or true" -
Suspicion.
Line... Number two.
Suspicion. Thank you.
OK, here is your red line.
It's a long way down.
It's a long way down.
Let's see what happens
when we say Suspicion.
It's right.
Oh, wow. Look!
It's a good answer.
Look at that! Down it goes. Wow, 18!
That's respectable.
I don't mind telling you, Mark,
that is the lowest score
of the whole round.
Oh, you did the best you could.
The lowest score.
I mean, by quite a factor.
Takes your total up to 111.
Can I ask Mark a question?
Sorry, could I ask Mark a question?
Yes.
Did you think Psycho
began with an S?
LAUGHTER
Sorry.
Please don't humiliate me
in public.
I'm feeling awkward as it is.
I've let my partner down.
But, yes, I forgot.
It was Psycho! Yeah.
That would have been a high score.
Yes.
Very high.
You got the lowest score.
You did really well. You got the
lowest score of the whole round.
I'm a hero. I got 100
in the first round...
This being patronising is catching,
isn't it?
That's the best answer on the board.
So lucky you didn't
work out Psycho.
Psycho...
Psycho's not
a crazy score, actually,
would have scored you 46 points.
The white sparkling wine...
This is not a Hitchcock film
I'd heard of.
It's a silent comedy. Champagne.
Yeah. That would have scored 59.
And the small vessel, you're quite
right, was Lifeboat.
That would have scored 77.
Thank you very much indeed.
We are at the end of
our second round,
which means we have say goodbye
to another pair.
Mark and Kate, I'm so sorry.
Thanks.
We've got to say goodbye to you.
It's been lovely having you here.
Thank you so much.
Please come and play again.
Mark and Kate. Thank you.
But, for our two remaining pairs,
it's now time
for the head-to-head.
Congratulations, Nick,
Paul, Susannah and Nikki,
you're now one step closer
to the final
and a chance to play
for our jackpot,
which currently stands at £2,500.
Well, we have reached
this plateau in the show
where we have to decide
who's going through to the final
to play for that jackpot.
We do it by
making you go head-to-head.
But you now start playing
as a pair.
You can chat before
you give your answers.
First pair to win two questions
will be playing for that jackpot.
Well, this is very nice.
Newcomers versus the old timers.
It's good. It's the newbies.
Very, very exciting.
Oh, and you've played well.
I think this will be
very, very hard fought.
Best of luck to both pairs.
Let's play the head-to-head.
Here is your first question,
and it concerns...
Oh! Richard?
That's a good reaction. We don't
get that all the time.
That's better than flags, isn't it?
Better than flags.
Way better. Just five clues,
now, to facts about
the TV show Dragons' Den.
There we are. Now,
I could read out the facts.
But why would I do that
when we've got Evan Davis here
to do it for me?
Now, here are five difficult
questions,
all about Dragons' Den.
And, first, in what year
did Dragons' Den
first air in the UK?
What was the name of
the star of series four
who entered the Den
singing about Reggae Reggae Sauce?
Who was the Bolton-born Dragon
who left the show
to present the reality series
The Intern?
In which country did
Mane No Tora, the show
that inspired Dragons' Den,
originate?
What is the name of the former
Dragon who shares his name
with the US actor who played
Sonny Corleone
in the movie The Godfather?
Oh, OK.
There we are. Five questions,
now in written form
in case you want to peruse them.
Now, Nick and Paul,
you're our golden couple,
our low scorers,
so you get to go first.
I think we probably
know three, maybe.
Do you reckon? Two or three. Yeah.
It's a case of getting the one
they're least likely to get.
You know the one I know.
Do you think your one is lower?
I think your one
is going to be lower, because
there's more variables in it.
OK, number five?
Yeah.
OK, we both think
that number five,
the former Dragon who shares
his name with Sonny Corleone,
James Caan.
James Caan, say Nick and Paul.
James Caan.
Now, Susannah and Nikki.
Do you want to talk us through
the rest of that board?
That's such a good one.
That is a really good one.
You've nabbed it. Such a good one.
So, the year in which Dragons' Den
first aired in the UK...
It seems so long ago now,
doesn't it?
Seven? Maybe ten years?
I don't know.
No, I think it's longer than that.
I think it's about 15 years,
I would say.
Yeah? I think, but anyway...
We know Levi Roots.
Let's skip that one.
But that's going to be quite...
"Bolton-born Dragon
who left the show..."
It could be Theo Paphitis, but
I don't know The Intern very well.
Go on, you decide.
OK, we'll go for Levi Roots
because we'll get one right.
OK, Levi Roots.
Levi Roots for the second one down -
Reggae Reggae Sauce.
OK, so, Nick and Paul have
gone for James Caan.
Let's see if that's right,
for the former Dragon
who shares his name
with the US actor.
How many of our 100 people
said James Caan?
James Caan is right.
Oh, it's a low score!
It goes to three.
Very well done indeed.
That's a great answer,
Nick and Paul.
Meanwhile, Susannah and Nikki
have gone for Levi Roots,
the person who came in singing about
Reggae Reggae Sauce.
How many of our 100 people
said Levi Roots?
Levi Roots is, of course,
absolutely right.
Is it going to beat three, though?
No. 26 for Levi Roots.
Well done, Nick and Paul.
After one question, you're up 1-0.
Yeah, very nicely done.
Some very low scores on that board.
So, when did it first air?
Susannah, you said
about 15 years ago.
You were not a million miles off.
Look at this - 2005.
So quite right.
It would have scored you
eight points, though.
The country in which it originated?
Well, it translates
as Tigers Of Money
in Japan. Ah, right.
And that would scored four points.
The best answer on the board,
the Bolton-born Dragon,
is Hilary Devey. Oh, yes!
And she was a Pointless answer.
Very well done if you said that.
Of course.
Now, here comes your second
question. Susannah and Nikki,
you have to win this one to stay in
the game, so very best of luck.
Our second question this evening
is all about...
Richard? Yeah, I'm going to show you
five pictures now of people
who've appeared both in Corrie
and EastEnders,
but can you recognise
any of these faces, please?
Thank you very much indeed.
Here come the five pictures.
We've got...
There we are.
And we are just looking for
the names of those actors.
Susannah and Nikki will go first.
OK.
And you're happy with that? Yeah.
We're going to go A,
Michelle Collins.
OK, A, Michelle Collins.
Nick and Paul, it's over to you.
Do you want to talk us
through the board?
Well, E is June Brown.
D is Andrew Sachs.
C is Denise Welch.
And B...
It's lovely, he played a lovely man.
He played Jim, but
I can't remember the actor's name.
He did. He did.
Which one do you want to go for?
I'm tempted to go for Andrew Sachs,
only because it doesn't look
very like him.
He hasn't got a little moustache.
Yeah, let's go D, Andrew Sachs.
You're going to go D,
Andrew Sachs.
So we have Michelle Collins
and Andrew Sachs.
Susannah and Nikki went for
the Michelle Collins for A.
Let's see how many of our 100
people said Michelle Collins.
Michelle Collins is right.
And down it goes.
That's not bad.
19 for Michelle Collins.
Nick and Paul, meanwhile,
have gone for Andrew Sachs for D.
Let's see if that's right.
Let's see how many of our 100 people
said Andrew Sachs.
It is Andrew Sachs.
This is going to be
incredibly close, I think.
19's what it's got to beat. It does.
It beats it, and down it goes to 15.
Very well done indeed,
Nick and Paul.
It means, after only two questions,
you're straight through
to the final, 2-0.
Well played, gents.
You chose very well, there.
Two good answers.
Now, let's fill in
the rest of the board.
We'll do the ones that we know.
That is Denise Welch.
She would have scored you 24.
And June Brown is much more famous,
of course, for being in EastEnders.
But she was in Coronation Street
in 1970 and 1971
as Mrs Parsons.
She would've scored 28.
The best answer on the board.
We recognise him as Jim Branning.
He also appeared in two episodes of
Coronation Street in 1990.
John Bardon.
And he would have scored you
two points.
Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
Well, there we are. We've made it to
the end of the head-to-head round.
I'm sorry to say the pair leaving
us at the end of that round -
Susannah and Nikki.
You've been wonderful all show.
It's been marvellous.
It's been brilliant.
You must come back and play again.
Love to. You've come too close
to a trophy now.
As long as we could be together.
Absolutely.
Ambitious blondes.
Forever together.
Thank you so much for playing.
Susannah and Nikki! Brilliant.
But for Nick and Paul, it is now
time for our Pointless final.
Congratulations, Nick and Paul!
You've seen off all the competition
and you have won
our coveted Pointless trophy.
Oh, wow!
You now have a chance to win
our Pointless jackpot
for your charities, and
at the end of today's show
the jackpot is standing at £2,500!
There it is!
Well, was there ever any doubt?
Any doubt that
you would end up here?
I mean, you know, this has
jackpot win written all over it.
What do you want to see
come up in this round?
Films would be good again, but
I think we probably shot that bolt.
Maybe... Films have given us
a lot of good answers.
Bit of football? I don't mind.
Well, yeah, I don't want
to say too much,
because then, if you choose it
and it's meant to be your specialist
subject and you do badly,
it's just double the ignominy. OK.
Now I'm nervous.
OK, well, you know what happens.
Four things will appear.
There'll be something up here
that at least one of you
will be happy with. OK.
Four things today that are...
I think we don't need
too much debate time.
I'd like to go for all-English
European football finals.
Yeah, and I'll be sacked
from talkSPORT
if we don't make the money
on this one.
OK.
I mean, that's more jeopardy
than we normally have,
so fair play to you for selling it.
So this is for £2,500,
and for Paul Ross' job.
We are looking for any
of the following, please.
Three slightly different eras
here as well,
so hopefully one of these
will suit you.
We're looking for...
Between Spurs and Wolves, please.
OK.
Between Man United and Chelsea.
Between Liverpool and Spurs, please.
So any player who played in
any of those games -
'72 UEFA Cup, 2008 Champions League
and 2019 Champions League.
Gents, very best of luck.
OK, as always,
you've got up to a minute
to come up with three answers.
Are you ready? I think we are.
OK. I've never seen
two readier people.
Let's put 60 seconds up
on the clock.
There they are.
Your time starts now.
So we think the further back
in time we go, the better?
I think so. I think the further back
in time we go, the better.
1972 UEFA Cup final was
between Wolverhampton Wanderers
and Tottenham Hotspur.
And my dad was a Tottenham fan,
so I'm thinking,
was it too late for Alan Gilzean?
No, it was about the right time
but whether he played or not
is a different question. OK.
Wolverhampton... Derek Dougan? Would
he have been playing for Wolves?
He would have been playing.
For Wolves, OK.
Yeah. Former chair of the PFA.
Who else would've been around
for the Tottenham side?
Who would've been in goal?
Goal would have been Jennings,
wouldn't it?
Phil Parkes for Wolves.
Mike Bailey was the captain
of Wolves at the time.
Cyril Knowles would have
probably played.
Nice one, Cyril. Yeah.
And I'd be tempted to go...
Did somebody else...?
Geoff Palmer, I would go for.
So we're going to go for
three of those? Ten seconds left.
OK, well, I'll put in two Wolves
and you do another one. OK.
So I will go for Mike Bailey
and Geoff Palmer.
I'll go Cyril Knowles.
And that's your time up.
Look at that,
perfect use of the minute!
OK, let's have your three answers.
What have you got?
Mike Bailey. Mike Bailey.
Geoff Palmer. Geoff Palmer.
And Cyril Knowles.
And Cyril Knowles. Yeah.
Of those three, which is your best
shot at a pointless answer?
Mike Bailey, I think.
Mike Bailey we'll put third.
Least likely to be pointless?
Geoff Palmer. Geoff Palmer.
I'm not even sure he exists.
Cyril Knowles goes in the middle.
OK, let's put those answers in
in that order.
And here they are.
We've got Geoff Palmer,
we've got Cyril Knowles,
and we've got Mike Bailey.
In all three cases,
we're looking for players
in the 1972 UEFA Cup final.
Well, they look like
brilliant answers
from where I'm standing.
Question is, are they right?
Are they pointless?
If one of these turns out
to be pointless
and wins you that jackpot - £2,500 -
which charities are you playing for?
I'm playing for the Dogs Trust,
which is a fantastic charity.
I've had three dogs
from the Dogs Trust,
including one of my current
St Bernards, Valentine.
So great cause.
Very nice indeed. Nick?
I'm going for the Douglas McMillan
Hospice in Stoke on Trent,
who looked after
my dear friend James so well
before he passed away.
Very good.
Three decent answers on the board.
Wouldn't it be fantastic
if one of these answers wins
that jackpot for you?
Your first answer's Geoff Palmer.
In all three cases,
we're looking for players
in the 1972 UEFA Cup final.
Geoff Palmer.
If Geoff is right and pointless,
£2,500 will be going to
your charities.
How many people said Geoff Palmer?
Oh, no!
Didn't play! Didn't play!
Not Geoff Palmer. Didn't play.
OK, let's hope nobody said
your next answer, Cyril Knowles.
Again, it's players from
the 1972 UEFA Cup final.
You've gone for Cyril Knowles.
How many people said it?
Is it pointless?
If Cyril's pointless,
£2,500 goes to your charities.
Cyril Knowles is right.
Geoff Palmer turned out
to be an incorrect answer.
Cyril Knowles, though, takes us
down through the 20s.
We're into the teens.
We're into single figures.
Still going down with Cyril Knowles.
You've done it! Very well done!
Oh, fantastic.
Congratulations again.
Double congratulations.
Congratulations. Cyril Knowles
was a pointless answer,
which means you are taking home
our jackpot of £2,500
this evening for your charities.
Brilliant!
What about that, Richard?
Very well done, and you get
to keep your job as well,
which is lovely.
And listen, very apt, Cyril Knowles
being the pointless answer.
Nice one, Cyril. Yeah.
Nice one, son. Nice one, Cyril.
Let's have another one.
And you did have another one.
Mike Bailey was also
a pointless answer.
Very well done.
£5,000 for charity!
Let's take a look, shall we, at
the pointless answers
in the different categories?
Cyril Knowles is your first one
here on this board.
Jim McCalliog went on to play
for Southampton.
He scored in the first leg.
Martin Peters, a pointless answer.
Phil Parkes! Phil Parkes as well.
The Wolves goalie at the time.
John Pratt, a pointless answer.
John Richards, Kenny Hibbert -
all sorts of good
pointless answers there.
Well done if you said any of those.
Martin Chivers was
the biggest scorer.
Let's give him a mention.
Now, there's some big names on
the other two answers as well.
We'll start with the 2008 final.
You could have had
Florent Malouda, Juliano Belletti,
Michael Essien,
Owen Hargreaves, Ricardo Carvalho
and Salomon Kalou -
all of those were pointless answers.
And, finally, the 2019
Champions League final.
It was so recent, but there's still
plenty of pointless answers.
Nine of them, in fact.
Other pointless answers -
Eric Dier is a pointless answer.
Fernando Llorente, Jan Vertonghen
is a pointless answer.
Lucas Moura is a pointless answer,
as was Toby Alderweireld.
Very well done if you said
any of those at home.
But thank you for that trip
down memory lane to 1972,
thank you to Cyril Knowles,
and a lovely end to a lovely show.
Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
Thanks once again to our winning
players, Nick and Paul,
who take away today's jackpot
of £2,500 for their charities.
Well done.
APPLAUSE
Join us next time, when we'll be
putting more obscure knowledge
to the test on
Pointless Celebrities.
Meanwhile, it's goodbye
from Richard. Goodbye.
And it's goodbye from me.
Goodbye.
Thank you very much indeed.
Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
and a very warm welcome
to Pointless Celebrities,
the quiz where the more obscure
your knowledge, the better
your chances of winning.
Let's meet this evening's
Pointless Celebrities.
And couple number one.
Hello, there. I'm Jenni Falconer,
and I am a television
and radio presenter,
and I wake the nation up
on Heart every morning.
And I'm Dominic Littlewood,
and I'm most recently famed
for bringing awareness
to men's cancers.
As you know, Alexander,
because myself
and seven other celebrities stood
on the stage in front of cameras
and a live audience and went naked.
Although your part in the show
was a lot bigger than mine.
Couple number two.
Hi, I'm Kate Thornton, and
I'm a radio and TV presenter.
And I'm Mark Durden-Smith,
and I'm a mere TV presenter,
but megastar who presents rugby
on Channel Five.
Couple number three.
I'm Nikki Fox. I'm not a megastar.
I'm the BBC's disability
correspondent
and Watchdog presenter,
and I came last on
Celebrity Mastermind,
so wish me luck.
And I'm Susannah Streeter,
and I'm a BBC business presenter.
I'm also a mother of three,
so I'm looking forward
to embarrassing them all.
And, finally, couple number four.
I'm Paul Ross. I'm on the radios
overnight for talkSPORT.
And I'm Nick Hancock.
I used to be a TV presenter,
but now I'm back on the Bins.
Thank you very much, all of you!
A very warm welcome to the show.
Lovely to have you with us.
We'll get to chat a lot more,
of course,
throughout the show as it goes on.
So that just leaves one more person
for me to introduce.
Containing no artificial additives
or preservatives,
but needing to be consumed
within four days of opening,
it's my Pointless friend,
it's Richard.
Hiya.
Evening, everybody.
Good evening to you.
Good evening.
This is like a Pointless superstars,
this!
Isn't it?!
Blimey, Dom and Jenni!
They've both been through
to a final.
Mark Durden-Smith has been through
to a final as well.
Paul Ross has been through
to a final.
Nick Hancock, a head-to-head.
So there's some very, very smart
players out here -
the ones who've done it before.
There we are.
Thank you very much, Richard.
Now, as usual, all of today's
questions have been put to
100 people before the show.
All our contestants have to do
is try and find one of those
all-important pointless answers -
an answer that none of
our 100 people gave.
Find one of those,
we will add £250 to the jackpot.
Now, as today's show's
a celebrity special
and each of our celebrities is
playing for a nominated charity,
we're going to start with
a jackpot of £2,500.
There it is.
Right, if everyone's ready,
let's play Pointless.
Just so you know, it will be
the pair with the highest score
at the end of each round
that gets eliminated.
Best of luck to all four pairs.
Our first category this evening
is...
Can you all decide in your pairs
who wants to go first,
who wants to go second,
and whoever's going first,
please step up to the podium.
OK. And the question concerns...
Richard? We're going to
show you 16 flags now.
They've all got stars on them,
somewhere or other.
Can you tell us which countries
these are the flags off, please?
I can't help you, can I?
Thank you very much.
So an image is going to go up.
It stays for the whole round, OK?
And here is that image.
There you go.
Now, Jenni, welcome. Oh, why?
Why am I going first?
Welcome back to Pointless, Jenni.
Now, listen, I want to ask -
you've done some crazy number
of marathons, haven't you?
Yeah, I do.
I like a little bit of running.
I've done eight marathons.
Eight! Yes.
The other thing I want to ask you -
you've got a range?
You've launched a sportswear range?
So, I did have a sportswear range.
But actually,
I have a running podcast now.
So I've shifted clothing for
something people can listen to.
So I have a podcast
that motivates people.
That they listen to
as they are ajog?
You listen to it while you run.
While you're jogging,
you can listen.
It's about the feel-good of running.
It kind of motivates you
while you run.
Do you run? Do you want to come
on it? No! Sorry, no.
Sorry.
No, I don't and no, I don't.
You know?
Anyway, listen, enough of that!
Jenni, flags with stars!
Oh, God!
This is horrific.
OK, let's go with Bolivia.
Bolivia, says Jenni.
Let's see if Bolivia's right.
Let's see how many of our 100 people
said it, if it is.
No, bad luck, Jenni!
I'm afraid not Bolivia. Sorry.
That may very well not be
the last 100 points of the round.
Yeah, sorry, Jenni. But well done
avoiding the obvious answers.
The Bolivian flag is
a monkey riding a horse.
It's not, but that flag idea
is still available.
Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
Now, Mark, good to have you with us
once again.
I didn't know that you were sent out
to ask Gwyneth Paltrow
out on a date.
Rather personal to bring up
in front of all these people!
When did this happen?
There was never going to be a chance
in hell that I was going to get
a yes from Gwyneth Paltrow,
but she'd apparently said that
all us British gentlemen
were too reserved to ask her out
on a date.
So I was working on an award-winning
breakfast show called Rise
on Channel 4...
Actually, we didn't get any awards.
A show called Rise.
And I was sent out as an Englishman
to go and ask her on a date.
So I was sent off to France
on a limo-bike.
It was all very exciting.
And I went through
the normal interview,
and then I said at the end,
"Gwyneth, would you like to
come out on a date?"
Then security grabbed my collar,
and off I went.
So that was the end of my moment
with Gwyneth.
But, you know, in hindsight,
maybe she should've
taken a different option.
It feels like you dodged a bullet
there, I'll be honest.
Don't you think? Well,
I'd have amazing skin, wouldn't I?
If I'd married Gwyneth.
Yeah, that's true.
Expensive skin, certainly.
I could do a downward dog.
All right, enough of that, Mark.
Right, now,
what about our flags, here?
Starry flags.
I am going to say...
..Afghanistan.
Afghanistan. Let's see if
Afghanistan has a flag
on that board.
Nope, I'm afraid not.
That's 100 points for you as well.
Like I said, Jenni,
I knew it wouldn't be the last.
This is going well, isn't it?
Isn't it?!
Yeah.
Should've made it easier.
Yeah, or...
It's quite fun for the rest of us,
to be fair.
Thank you very much indeed.
Susannah, when you were working
as a reporter,
you went so far as to join
the Royal Auxiliary Air Force.
I did, yes. That is so impressive.
Has no-one else ever thought
of that?
Well, actually, quite a few people.
We did have a squadron.
It wasn't just me.
OK. So we had a whole squadron,
and I became one of
the squadron leaders after...
You were a squadron leader?!
I was a squadron leader.
Well, I'm a retired squadron leader.
Squadron Leader (Ret'd)?
Yes, that's it.
That's impressive.
It was very exciting.
But then, of course, I had children
and my exciting days
were kind of over until I came here.
Into the cut-throat world of
business, though! Business!
Anyway, Susannah.
To which countries do
these flags belong?
I think I'm going to play it safe
and I'm going to go for Israel.
Israel, says Susannah.
OK, let's see how many of
our 100 people said Israel.
Israel is right.
Down it goes to 69. There we are.
I played it too safe.
Good girl.
Yeah, there it is. The blue and
white one up at the top, there,
with the Star of David
in the middle of it is Israel.
Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
Nick Hancock. Hello.
Welcome back to Pointless.
Thank you.
And welcome back to acting.
This is very exciting.
You've pulled your tights on again?
I have, yes.
It's not very exciting
for the audiences,
but it's great fun for me.
Fantastic.
And you're doing a show as well?
A stage show?
Yeah, I've been doing a show with
Matt Dawson and Phil Tufnell.
But, yeah, I mean,
I try not to plan too far ahead
because my girlfriend's
very, very busy.
Gwyneth Paltrow.
So we don't always have time.
Sure. Well, exactly.
There we are.
Now, Nick, put us all to shame.
Come on, let's have
a nice low starry flag.
Oh!
I'm going to go...
..for Cuba.
Cuba, says Nick.
Let's see if it's right.
Let's see how many of
our 100 people said Cuba.
It's right, Nick! Come on!
Yeah, you got it. Wow!
Down it goes to 19.
Very well done indeed!
19 for Cuba.
Well played, Nick. I think
that's the best flag on the board,
the Cuban flag, in
the bottom right-hand corner.
That's a classy flag.
Yeah, they've got
a little bit of everything.
And, pleasingly, that wasn't
the one I thought it was.
Just to say...
Absolutely.
Listen, we're halfway
through the round.
We'd better have a little recap
of those scores.
The best score of the pass
by some margin was yours, Nick.
Very well done indeed,
Nick and Paul on 19.
Then up to 69, where
we find Susannah and Nikki.
And then up to 100,
where we find Mark and Kate
and Dominic and Jenni.
So it's essentially going to be
a tussle between the two of you
to see which pair stays, and which
leaves at the end of the round.
We're going to come back down
the line now.
Will the second players please
step up to the podium?
Paul, welcome.
Welcome, welcome.
So, there you are,
doing your radio show from
one until four every morning.
Like a vampire - one until five.
One until five!
As the sun comes up,
I have to leave.
Is it the end of your day,
or the beginning of your day?
It's kind of the end of the day.
I tend to go indoors,
let the dogs out,
have a bowl of cornflakes
and hit the hay.
Yeah. Then wake up for Pointless,
of course. Teatime.
That's what you do, isn't it?
You wake up for Pointless.
Sometimes. Sometimes, yeah.
Now, Paul, there you are,
you're on 19.
If you can score 80 or less,
round two beckons.
I think it's a vague punt,
but I think I'll go for
a single star flag,
and I'm going to say Pakistan.
Pakistan, says Paul.
Let's see if it's right.
Let's see how many of
our 100 people said Pakistan.
Here's your red line.
It is right, and you're through.
Very well done on the far podium.
Our first official round-twoers.
31 is your score.
A lovely round total of 50.
Well played, Paul, yeah.
White star, white stripe
and white crescent moon.
Yeah, Pakistan. Keep it simple.
Nice! Now, Nikki,
welcome to Pointless.
Thank you. Watchdog?
I mean, how much fun is that?
It's so much fun. Especially
doing it with Matt and Steph.
They're just the best people
to present with.
Just really good friends.
I'm kind of thinking more
about customer relations,
customer services.
I mean, presumably...
And the good that we do.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah, the good you do for
the country. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, when you go into a shop,
presumably, people look after you.
Yeah, I have noticed that.
It's a bit difficult for me
because I'm always in charge
of the Swab Mob, so I do anything
that's to do with filth...
..dirt... Yeah.
..rubbish.
If you stay in a hotel... Oh, no.
..don't put your toothbrush
on the sink.
We need dirt, though. Dirt's good.
Yeah, we do.
Dirt's good, yeah. We do need...
I'm quite dirty. I'll eat food
off the floor and all sorts.
I eat food literally off basins
in hotel rooms, so...
Hasn't done me any harm at all.
Now, Nikki - flags with stars on.
OK.
I'm just going to go with
New Zealand.
New Zealand.
OK. Here is your red line.
Shall we see? Can you get close
to that red line with New Zealand?
It's right.
Oh, I think that's good enough.
53 takes you up to 122.
Yeah. They decided to have
a new flag, New Zealand.
They let people design new flags.
Then they had a referendum
to choose between the new flag
and the old flag, and
they chose the old flag.
So that was a waste of
everyone's time, wasn't it?
Thank you very much, Richard.
Now, Kate.
Hi.
What about White Wine Question Time?
What about it? What about that?
It's three friends, three questions,
three glasses of wine.
What do you talk about?
Anything? Everything.
Everything.
And, it being a podcast,
you really can.
I'll give you one question.
OK, go on.
So, you have
ten minutes of your life
that you have to relive
on a loop forever.
What are your ten minutes? OK.
I'm not going to tell you that now.
No, I know. That's just
to give you a flavour.
I would go for the ten minutes
before I agreed to do the podcast.
That's what I'd go for.
Thank you, Richard.
That's clever, isn't it?
Yeah, clever.
OK, now... Yeah.
What are you going to go for, Kate?
You just have to score
as little as possible.
Ideally, you want to score 21
or less. 21 or less.
Well...
We're looking for
the most obscure answer?
Yeah, welcome to Pointless, Kate.
I know, I know!
Yeah. I'm just...
Do it. Do what you've got to do.
I don't know.
Well, I'm just going to go
Australia.
Australia, OK.
I'm going to have to.
Cos it's the only one
I'm convinced of. Why not?
Apart from the other one. Why not?
There is your red line.
Let's see what happens when
we say Australia.
Oh!
OK. Well, we gave it a go.
I gave it a go.
I mean, it is
the thing to do, I think,
because Dom now has to get
a correct answer.
And we've seen a lot of
incorrect answers.
And you've taken an easier one
off the board.
Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
Now, Dominic.
Dominic. Mm.
You've just been doing
Dom Does America.
Yes.
In which you got tasered.
Yeah.
When you join a police force,
you have to be tasered.
This is in Texas.
And they hit me with a Taser -
50,000 volts -
for the full five seconds.
They call it
the full lightning ride.
It was the worst five seconds
of my life.
They said, "Before you do it,
we suggest going to the toilet
"and empty your bowels and bladder"
which gives you an idea
of how painful it was.
I found out afterwards that,
when the police do it,
they turn the timing down and
they only have two seconds of it.
Oh, they gave you five?
They give me the full ride,
the full lightning ride.
I hope they also
gave you a certificate.
No, they gave me a scar on the back,
because they have to pull the prongs
out your back.
So I got two nasty scars.
I think they should give you
a photograph,
like they do on roller-coasters.
Yeah.
It was honestly...
I'm glad I've done it,
because I've experienced it,
but I never want it again.
Oh, Dom, well done, you!
I have to say.
I think I'd probably duck out
of that day's filming.
Anyway, listen, you've got a target.
84 or less.
The obvious one, there,
I don't think is going
to get a higher score.
So I'm going to wing it now.
So, if I get it wrong,
I apologise, Jenni.
Oh, well...
I'm going to go for...
..Iranian flag.
Iran, says Dominic.
Here's your red line.
It's nice and high.
Iran. Let's see how many
of our 100 people said Iran.
Ah, no!
Ah! Five seconds of agony.
Oh, dear.
Dom, I'm sorry.
That was a punchy and
very gutsy call, though.
That's exactly what
we like on the show.
I had no option. If I went for
the really obvious one on there,
we'd still be going home.
I think you're probably right.
But very well done.
That was a good thing to do.
200, though, is your total.
Yeah, had to take the risk,
and the delight on the faces of
Kate and Mark, I have to say.
I know you can't see them,
but you've made two people
very, very happy.
USA was the obvious one, there.
It would have scored you
too many points,
you were absolutely right.
89 points.
So you had to go for a risk.
Now, let's go through
the rest of these.
Any one you fancy having a go at?
Erm...
China is...
China is the top right-hand corner.
Yeah, that would have scored 50.
This one... I know we've
talked about this one.
We've talked about that.
Is it Kuwait?
Oh, who said Kuwait?
Is it Kuwait?
It's not, no.
I thought it was. Some people
at home know their flags,
so let's go through these, shall we,
and see what you scored?
We'll start on that top row.
That one is Ghana.
For six points.
The second row...
Panama would have scored you
eight points.
This is a cool flag.
And this is Somalia. Nice.
It would have scored you six.
Now, this next row down.
They're all low scorers,
I have to say.
Morocco. Oh, sorry.
Were you going to say Morocco?
I was going to say Morocco.
That one I had... Yeah.
Why don't I say?
And this next one down?
Morocco. Morocco is right.
So he did know! I believe him.
LAUGHTER
Cynical. So cynical.
So cynical.
Nine points for Morocco.
Next to Morocco is Venezuela,
which would have scored you four.
This next one... Look at it!
I didn't know this one.
It's like Christmas.
It's Burundi. Wow.
That would have scored one point.
Well done if you said that.
Now, this one on the bottom left.
We've had this before.
It's Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ah!
Would have scored four.
Next to that, Chile.
That would have scored 11.
And next to that,
another very cool flag.
And that is Vietnam.
And that would have scored 13.
Well done if you said that.
Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
We find ourselves at the end
of our first round,
which means we have to say goodbye
to one of our pairs.
Dom and Jenni, I'm so sorry.
It's you.
Far too soon to be sending you home.
Thank you for playing,
Dominic and Jenni.
Please come and play again.
Wonderful.
But, for the remaining three pairs,
it is now time for round two!
Oh, well done, everybody!
We made it through the flags round.
Some of it, only just.
Best to luck to everyone
for round two.
Our category for round two
this evening 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 the question concerns...
Yeah, on each board we're going to
show you definitions
of six words.
They all happen to be the titles
of Hitchcock films as well.
We'll give you the initial letter of
that word
and the number of letters in it as
well. But six definitions of words.
What are these words, please?
There we are. Couldn't be simpler.
OK, here's our first board
of six definitions.
I'll read those clues again.
Kate. Hi.
Hi, Kate.
This is fine.
Forget the Hitchcock bit.
It's just, "What words are these?"
You've got this. You've got it.
Come on. You got it.
Vertigo.
You're going to go for Vertigo,
for the one beginning with V?
I was trying to go for
something smarter.
That's as smart as I can do.
Listen, smart enough.
Let's see how many of
our 100 people said Vertigo.
Vertigo... Oh, you see?
It's right.
That's why I didn't want Vertigo.
It's better than my 100 last time.
There we are. 93 is fine.
This is an improvement.
You've come back from worse.
Miraculously.
Oh, thank you. That's so
brilliantly patronising.
Yeah, a poll in 2012 by
the British Film Institute
said that was
the greatest film of all time.
Meh. It's OK.
I mean, listen,
you want to be six foot seven!
I get it all the time, but it's...
Yeah, OK.
Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
Susannah, all these are descriptions
of one-word
Alfred Hitchcock film titles.
What are they?
Blackmail.
Blackmail, for the one
beginning with B?
Mm-hmm.
Top one. Let's see how many of
our 100 people said Blackmail.
Blackmail is absolutely right.
93's our only score so far.
That's not bad.
We now have a low score of 67.
Yeah, that was Hitchcock's
first talkie, Blackmail.
It's got a sequence where they have
a chase through the British Museum,
and across the roof
of the British Museum.
Thank you very much indeed.
Now, Paul, this is your board.
Do you want to talk us
through it all?
Fill in as many blanks as you can.
There's one I'm not sure of.
Tell us all the rest. OK.
The penultimate film
Hitchcock made is Frenzy,
and that was shot in this country.
Rope is the one he did
in a single take -
a remarkable film.
I'm not sure of the D.
I can't remember
what the D might be,
but I'm going to go
for the bottom one.
One of his '60s films. Overlooked.
I think this is Topaz.
Topaz.
Topaz. Oh, good!
Can I just commend you, Paul?
No-one on Celebrity Pointless,
or even normal Pointless,
has ever said "overlooked"...
..when they've gone through a board.
I mean, that's amazing.
That's wonderful. Who wins in
the being patronised race now?
Me or Kate?
Even when I'm sincere,
it comes across as patronising.
I deserved to be patronised!
You were brilliant!
OK, Topaz. Let's see how many of
our 100 people went for Topaz.
It's right.
Well played. It actually scores
slightly more than Frenzy.
Frenzy would have scored you 37.
Not a huge amount of difference.
Rope is a very big scorer.
That would have scored you 87.
And the best answer is
the one you couldn't remember.
You'll remember it
as soon as I say it...
Downhill.
Downhill, yeah. Well done.
That would have scored 15.
Thank you very much indeed.
We're halfway through the round.
Let's look at those scores.
44, the best score of the pass.
Very well done to you, Paul.
Then 67 is where
we find Susannah and Nikki.
Then 93 is where
we find Kate and Mark.
The game is not over yet.
Good luck with that.
We're going to come back down
the line now.
Will the second players please
step up to the podium?
OK, now, time to put
six more definitions
of single-word Hitchcock film titles
on the board.
And here they are.
We have got...
I'll read those again for you.
There we are.
So, Nick...
At this early stage of the pass,
48 or less
guarantees you a place
in the next round.
OK.
Well, I'm going to go for Notorious.
Notorious, says Nick.
Here is your red line.
Can you get below that red line
with Notorious?
It's right.
It gets you to 57.
Not bad at all.
Very well played, Nick.
Yeah, named after the Duran Duran
song of the same name.
LAUGHTER
Thank you very much indeed.
Now, then, Nikki.
And, by the way, your target
is 33 at this stage.
OK. I'm just actually checking
the letters on my fingers,
as if I was at school.
Just checking it was a ten.
I think I know what
I'm going for, Xander.
What are you going to go for?
"Fascinated, holding the complete
attention of someone
"as though by magic."
S-P-E-L... That's what I was doing.
Spellbound?
Spellbound, says Nicky.
Here is your red line.
Can you get below that?
Let's find out with Spellbound.
It's right!
And you can!
Look at that, down to 30.
Very well done indeed.
Very well played. He was nominated
for a Best Director Oscar for that.
Never won the Best Director Oscar.
Won an honorary one, but never won
for one of his films.
Amazing. Extraordinary.
Yeah, you and I have got
as many Best Director Oscars
as Alfred Hitchcock.
That's nice. Between us, yes.
It's pretty good, isn't it?
Pretty good.
Not bad at all. Thank you very much.
Now, Mark. Now, listen,
you have to score seven or less.
Seven. Seven or less.
I bet there might be
a low score... Well, there might.
There might be a low score on there.
So, am I allowed to talk you
through the board?
I think you should.
This won't take long.
Yes. Um...
So, a small vessel.
I'm thinking it's a lifeboat.
A feeling or thought
that something's
possible, likely or true -
a suspicion.
I think I counted that right.
Champagne.
And then the one that's probably...
I don't think we've got
a cat's own chance of getting
seven on any of them, actually.
But "informally, an unstable
and aggressive person
"beginning with P"
is a pillock. Is it a pillock?
No! No? OK, I'm going to go for
"a feeling or thought
"that something's possible,
likely or true" -
Suspicion.
Line... Number two.
Suspicion. Thank you.
OK, here is your red line.
It's a long way down.
It's a long way down.
Let's see what happens
when we say Suspicion.
It's right.
Oh, wow. Look!
It's a good answer.
Look at that! Down it goes. Wow, 18!
That's respectable.
I don't mind telling you, Mark,
that is the lowest score
of the whole round.
Oh, you did the best you could.
The lowest score.
I mean, by quite a factor.
Takes your total up to 111.
Can I ask Mark a question?
Sorry, could I ask Mark a question?
Yes.
Did you think Psycho
began with an S?
LAUGHTER
Sorry.
Please don't humiliate me
in public.
I'm feeling awkward as it is.
I've let my partner down.
But, yes, I forgot.
It was Psycho! Yeah.
That would have been a high score.
Yes.
Very high.
You got the lowest score.
You did really well. You got the
lowest score of the whole round.
I'm a hero. I got 100
in the first round...
This being patronising is catching,
isn't it?
That's the best answer on the board.
So lucky you didn't
work out Psycho.
Psycho...
Psycho's not
a crazy score, actually,
would have scored you 46 points.
The white sparkling wine...
This is not a Hitchcock film
I'd heard of.
It's a silent comedy. Champagne.
Yeah. That would have scored 59.
And the small vessel, you're quite
right, was Lifeboat.
That would have scored 77.
Thank you very much indeed.
We are at the end of
our second round,
which means we have say goodbye
to another pair.
Mark and Kate, I'm so sorry.
Thanks.
We've got to say goodbye to you.
It's been lovely having you here.
Thank you so much.
Please come and play again.
Mark and Kate. Thank you.
But, for our two remaining pairs,
it's now time
for the head-to-head.
Congratulations, Nick,
Paul, Susannah and Nikki,
you're now one step closer
to the final
and a chance to play
for our jackpot,
which currently stands at £2,500.
Well, we have reached
this plateau in the show
where we have to decide
who's going through to the final
to play for that jackpot.
We do it by
making you go head-to-head.
But you now start playing
as a pair.
You can chat before
you give your answers.
First pair to win two questions
will be playing for that jackpot.
Well, this is very nice.
Newcomers versus the old timers.
It's good. It's the newbies.
Very, very exciting.
Oh, and you've played well.
I think this will be
very, very hard fought.
Best of luck to both pairs.
Let's play the head-to-head.
Here is your first question,
and it concerns...
Oh! Richard?
That's a good reaction. We don't
get that all the time.
That's better than flags, isn't it?
Better than flags.
Way better. Just five clues,
now, to facts about
the TV show Dragons' Den.
There we are. Now,
I could read out the facts.
But why would I do that
when we've got Evan Davis here
to do it for me?
Now, here are five difficult
questions,
all about Dragons' Den.
And, first, in what year
did Dragons' Den
first air in the UK?
What was the name of
the star of series four
who entered the Den
singing about Reggae Reggae Sauce?
Who was the Bolton-born Dragon
who left the show
to present the reality series
The Intern?
In which country did
Mane No Tora, the show
that inspired Dragons' Den,
originate?
What is the name of the former
Dragon who shares his name
with the US actor who played
Sonny Corleone
in the movie The Godfather?
Oh, OK.
There we are. Five questions,
now in written form
in case you want to peruse them.
Now, Nick and Paul,
you're our golden couple,
our low scorers,
so you get to go first.
I think we probably
know three, maybe.
Do you reckon? Two or three. Yeah.
It's a case of getting the one
they're least likely to get.
You know the one I know.
Do you think your one is lower?
I think your one
is going to be lower, because
there's more variables in it.
OK, number five?
Yeah.
OK, we both think
that number five,
the former Dragon who shares
his name with Sonny Corleone,
James Caan.
James Caan, say Nick and Paul.
James Caan.
Now, Susannah and Nikki.
Do you want to talk us through
the rest of that board?
That's such a good one.
That is a really good one.
You've nabbed it. Such a good one.
So, the year in which Dragons' Den
first aired in the UK...
It seems so long ago now,
doesn't it?
Seven? Maybe ten years?
I don't know.
No, I think it's longer than that.
I think it's about 15 years,
I would say.
Yeah? I think, but anyway...
We know Levi Roots.
Let's skip that one.
But that's going to be quite...
"Bolton-born Dragon
who left the show..."
It could be Theo Paphitis, but
I don't know The Intern very well.
Go on, you decide.
OK, we'll go for Levi Roots
because we'll get one right.
OK, Levi Roots.
Levi Roots for the second one down -
Reggae Reggae Sauce.
OK, so, Nick and Paul have
gone for James Caan.
Let's see if that's right,
for the former Dragon
who shares his name
with the US actor.
How many of our 100 people
said James Caan?
James Caan is right.
Oh, it's a low score!
It goes to three.
Very well done indeed.
That's a great answer,
Nick and Paul.
Meanwhile, Susannah and Nikki
have gone for Levi Roots,
the person who came in singing about
Reggae Reggae Sauce.
How many of our 100 people
said Levi Roots?
Levi Roots is, of course,
absolutely right.
Is it going to beat three, though?
No. 26 for Levi Roots.
Well done, Nick and Paul.
After one question, you're up 1-0.
Yeah, very nicely done.
Some very low scores on that board.
So, when did it first air?
Susannah, you said
about 15 years ago.
You were not a million miles off.
Look at this - 2005.
So quite right.
It would have scored you
eight points, though.
The country in which it originated?
Well, it translates
as Tigers Of Money
in Japan. Ah, right.
And that would scored four points.
The best answer on the board,
the Bolton-born Dragon,
is Hilary Devey. Oh, yes!
And she was a Pointless answer.
Very well done if you said that.
Of course.
Now, here comes your second
question. Susannah and Nikki,
you have to win this one to stay in
the game, so very best of luck.
Our second question this evening
is all about...
Richard? Yeah, I'm going to show you
five pictures now of people
who've appeared both in Corrie
and EastEnders,
but can you recognise
any of these faces, please?
Thank you very much indeed.
Here come the five pictures.
We've got...
There we are.
And we are just looking for
the names of those actors.
Susannah and Nikki will go first.
OK.
And you're happy with that? Yeah.
We're going to go A,
Michelle Collins.
OK, A, Michelle Collins.
Nick and Paul, it's over to you.
Do you want to talk us
through the board?
Well, E is June Brown.
D is Andrew Sachs.
C is Denise Welch.
And B...
It's lovely, he played a lovely man.
He played Jim, but
I can't remember the actor's name.
He did. He did.
Which one do you want to go for?
I'm tempted to go for Andrew Sachs,
only because it doesn't look
very like him.
He hasn't got a little moustache.
Yeah, let's go D, Andrew Sachs.
You're going to go D,
Andrew Sachs.
So we have Michelle Collins
and Andrew Sachs.
Susannah and Nikki went for
the Michelle Collins for A.
Let's see how many of our 100
people said Michelle Collins.
Michelle Collins is right.
And down it goes.
That's not bad.
19 for Michelle Collins.
Nick and Paul, meanwhile,
have gone for Andrew Sachs for D.
Let's see if that's right.
Let's see how many of our 100 people
said Andrew Sachs.
It is Andrew Sachs.
This is going to be
incredibly close, I think.
19's what it's got to beat. It does.
It beats it, and down it goes to 15.
Very well done indeed,
Nick and Paul.
It means, after only two questions,
you're straight through
to the final, 2-0.
Well played, gents.
You chose very well, there.
Two good answers.
Now, let's fill in
the rest of the board.
We'll do the ones that we know.
That is Denise Welch.
She would have scored you 24.
And June Brown is much more famous,
of course, for being in EastEnders.
But she was in Coronation Street
in 1970 and 1971
as Mrs Parsons.
She would've scored 28.
The best answer on the board.
We recognise him as Jim Branning.
He also appeared in two episodes of
Coronation Street in 1990.
John Bardon.
And he would have scored you
two points.
Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
Well, there we are. We've made it to
the end of the head-to-head round.
I'm sorry to say the pair leaving
us at the end of that round -
Susannah and Nikki.
You've been wonderful all show.
It's been marvellous.
It's been brilliant.
You must come back and play again.
Love to. You've come too close
to a trophy now.
As long as we could be together.
Absolutely.
Ambitious blondes.
Forever together.
Thank you so much for playing.
Susannah and Nikki! Brilliant.
But for Nick and Paul, it is now
time for our Pointless final.
Congratulations, Nick and Paul!
You've seen off all the competition
and you have won
our coveted Pointless trophy.
Oh, wow!
You now have a chance to win
our Pointless jackpot
for your charities, and
at the end of today's show
the jackpot is standing at £2,500!
There it is!
Well, was there ever any doubt?
Any doubt that
you would end up here?
I mean, you know, this has
jackpot win written all over it.
What do you want to see
come up in this round?
Films would be good again, but
I think we probably shot that bolt.
Maybe... Films have given us
a lot of good answers.
Bit of football? I don't mind.
Well, yeah, I don't want
to say too much,
because then, if you choose it
and it's meant to be your specialist
subject and you do badly,
it's just double the ignominy. OK.
Now I'm nervous.
OK, well, you know what happens.
Four things will appear.
There'll be something up here
that at least one of you
will be happy with. OK.
Four things today that are...
I think we don't need
too much debate time.
I'd like to go for all-English
European football finals.
Yeah, and I'll be sacked
from talkSPORT
if we don't make the money
on this one.
OK.
I mean, that's more jeopardy
than we normally have,
so fair play to you for selling it.
So this is for £2,500,
and for Paul Ross' job.
We are looking for any
of the following, please.
Three slightly different eras
here as well,
so hopefully one of these
will suit you.
We're looking for...
Between Spurs and Wolves, please.
OK.
Between Man United and Chelsea.
Between Liverpool and Spurs, please.
So any player who played in
any of those games -
'72 UEFA Cup, 2008 Champions League
and 2019 Champions League.
Gents, very best of luck.
OK, as always,
you've got up to a minute
to come up with three answers.
Are you ready? I think we are.
OK. I've never seen
two readier people.
Let's put 60 seconds up
on the clock.
There they are.
Your time starts now.
So we think the further back
in time we go, the better?
I think so. I think the further back
in time we go, the better.
1972 UEFA Cup final was
between Wolverhampton Wanderers
and Tottenham Hotspur.
And my dad was a Tottenham fan,
so I'm thinking,
was it too late for Alan Gilzean?
No, it was about the right time
but whether he played or not
is a different question. OK.
Wolverhampton... Derek Dougan? Would
he have been playing for Wolves?
He would have been playing.
For Wolves, OK.
Yeah. Former chair of the PFA.
Who else would've been around
for the Tottenham side?
Who would've been in goal?
Goal would have been Jennings,
wouldn't it?
Phil Parkes for Wolves.
Mike Bailey was the captain
of Wolves at the time.
Cyril Knowles would have
probably played.
Nice one, Cyril. Yeah.
And I'd be tempted to go...
Did somebody else...?
Geoff Palmer, I would go for.
So we're going to go for
three of those? Ten seconds left.
OK, well, I'll put in two Wolves
and you do another one. OK.
So I will go for Mike Bailey
and Geoff Palmer.
I'll go Cyril Knowles.
And that's your time up.
Look at that,
perfect use of the minute!
OK, let's have your three answers.
What have you got?
Mike Bailey. Mike Bailey.
Geoff Palmer. Geoff Palmer.
And Cyril Knowles.
And Cyril Knowles. Yeah.
Of those three, which is your best
shot at a pointless answer?
Mike Bailey, I think.
Mike Bailey we'll put third.
Least likely to be pointless?
Geoff Palmer. Geoff Palmer.
I'm not even sure he exists.
Cyril Knowles goes in the middle.
OK, let's put those answers in
in that order.
And here they are.
We've got Geoff Palmer,
we've got Cyril Knowles,
and we've got Mike Bailey.
In all three cases,
we're looking for players
in the 1972 UEFA Cup final.
Well, they look like
brilliant answers
from where I'm standing.
Question is, are they right?
Are they pointless?
If one of these turns out
to be pointless
and wins you that jackpot - £2,500 -
which charities are you playing for?
I'm playing for the Dogs Trust,
which is a fantastic charity.
I've had three dogs
from the Dogs Trust,
including one of my current
St Bernards, Valentine.
So great cause.
Very nice indeed. Nick?
I'm going for the Douglas McMillan
Hospice in Stoke on Trent,
who looked after
my dear friend James so well
before he passed away.
Very good.
Three decent answers on the board.
Wouldn't it be fantastic
if one of these answers wins
that jackpot for you?
Your first answer's Geoff Palmer.
In all three cases,
we're looking for players
in the 1972 UEFA Cup final.
Geoff Palmer.
If Geoff is right and pointless,
£2,500 will be going to
your charities.
How many people said Geoff Palmer?
Oh, no!
Didn't play! Didn't play!
Not Geoff Palmer. Didn't play.
OK, let's hope nobody said
your next answer, Cyril Knowles.
Again, it's players from
the 1972 UEFA Cup final.
You've gone for Cyril Knowles.
How many people said it?
Is it pointless?
If Cyril's pointless,
£2,500 goes to your charities.
Cyril Knowles is right.
Geoff Palmer turned out
to be an incorrect answer.
Cyril Knowles, though, takes us
down through the 20s.
We're into the teens.
We're into single figures.
Still going down with Cyril Knowles.
You've done it! Very well done!
Oh, fantastic.
Congratulations again.
Double congratulations.
Congratulations. Cyril Knowles
was a pointless answer,
which means you are taking home
our jackpot of £2,500
this evening for your charities.
Brilliant!
What about that, Richard?
Very well done, and you get
to keep your job as well,
which is lovely.
And listen, very apt, Cyril Knowles
being the pointless answer.
Nice one, Cyril. Yeah.
Nice one, son. Nice one, Cyril.
Let's have another one.
And you did have another one.
Mike Bailey was also
a pointless answer.
Very well done.
£5,000 for charity!
Let's take a look, shall we, at
the pointless answers
in the different categories?
Cyril Knowles is your first one
here on this board.
Jim McCalliog went on to play
for Southampton.
He scored in the first leg.
Martin Peters, a pointless answer.
Phil Parkes! Phil Parkes as well.
The Wolves goalie at the time.
John Pratt, a pointless answer.
John Richards, Kenny Hibbert -
all sorts of good
pointless answers there.
Well done if you said any of those.
Martin Chivers was
the biggest scorer.
Let's give him a mention.
Now, there's some big names on
the other two answers as well.
We'll start with the 2008 final.
You could have had
Florent Malouda, Juliano Belletti,
Michael Essien,
Owen Hargreaves, Ricardo Carvalho
and Salomon Kalou -
all of those were pointless answers.
And, finally, the 2019
Champions League final.
It was so recent, but there's still
plenty of pointless answers.
Nine of them, in fact.
Other pointless answers -
Eric Dier is a pointless answer.
Fernando Llorente, Jan Vertonghen
is a pointless answer.
Lucas Moura is a pointless answer,
as was Toby Alderweireld.
Very well done if you said
any of those at home.
But thank you for that trip
down memory lane to 1972,
thank you to Cyril Knowles,
and a lovely end to a lovely show.
Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
Thanks once again to our winning
players, Nick and Paul,
who take away today's jackpot
of £2,500 for their charities.
Well done.
APPLAUSE
Join us next time, when we'll be
putting more obscure knowledge
to the test on
Pointless Celebrities.
Meanwhile, it's goodbye
from Richard. Goodbye.
And it's goodbye from me.
Goodbye.
