Hello, and welcome to Debatable, the quiz show where talk is cheap,

0:00:130:00:16

but celebrity chat can win a contestant money.

0:00:160:00:19

Today, one player must answer a series of tricky questions

0:00:190:00:22

to try to bag our jackpot of £2,000.

0:00:220:00:26

But they're not on their own,

0:00:260:00:28

as they'll also have a panel of celebrity brainboxes

0:00:280:00:30

debating their way to the answer.

0:00:300:00:32

Will they help, or will they hinder?

0:00:320:00:34

Well, that's Debatable.

0:00:340:00:36

Let's meet them.

0:00:360:00:37

On today's show, we have...

0:00:370:00:39

Retired MP and writer...

0:00:390:00:42

We have broadcaster...

0:00:420:00:44

..and comedian...

0:00:450:00:47

APPLAUSE

0:00:470:00:48

Let's see who you're going to be helping out today.

0:00:500:00:52

It is time to meet our contestant.

0:00:520:00:55

It is AJ from Llandrillo.

0:00:550:00:57

-How are you doing?

-How are you?

-Good to see you.

0:01:000:01:02

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

0:01:020:01:04

My name's AJ from Llandrillo in north Wales.

0:01:040:01:06

I got injured in the Royal Navy.

0:01:060:01:08

Since then, I've been doing a variety of disability sports.

0:01:080:01:11

So talk us through your disciplines.

0:01:110:01:13

I do archery, seated discus and shot put,

0:01:130:01:16

wheelchair basketball - to name a few.

0:01:160:01:19

And what standard have we got to with this, AJ?

0:01:190:01:22

I'm currently having trials for the GB wheelchair tennis team

0:01:220:01:26

for Tokyo Paralympics, Warrior Games in America,

0:01:260:01:29

and I have also won a gold medal in the Invictus Games.

0:01:290:01:32

Wow.

0:01:320:01:33

You see, THIS is what a winner looks like, OK?

0:01:380:01:40

-This is what a winner looks like.

-Right.

-OK, so no pressure.

0:01:400:01:44

Let's see if they can get up to the gold medal-winning standard

0:01:440:01:48

as we get this Debatable show on the road and play Round One.

0:01:480:01:51

OK, AJ, this round is multiple choice.

0:01:550:01:57

Each question has four possible answers, but only one is correct.

0:01:570:02:01

Now, apparently, helping you find the correct answer

0:02:010:02:04

will be our panel.

0:02:040:02:05

This be the plan - will you go with what they say,

0:02:050:02:08

or will you go your own way? It is entirely up to you.

0:02:080:02:11

There are two questions in this round and each correct answer will

0:02:110:02:15

bank you £200 into your prize pot that you'll be playing for

0:02:150:02:18

-today in the final debate.

-OK.

0:02:180:02:20

-All righty? Best of luck.

-Thank you.

0:02:200:02:21

Let's get cracking, here's your first question.

0:02:210:02:24

I put a slight Italian accent on top of those. LAUGHTER

0:02:410:02:44

-I like it.

-I got slightly carried away there, AJ.

0:02:440:02:48

So what are your first thoughts for this one?

0:02:480:02:50

I'm thinking a ciabatta is sort of slipper-shaped.

0:02:500:02:55

Gnocchi are quite small, but it's gut instinct to begin with.

0:02:550:02:58

Ciabatta's sort of my favourite.

0:02:580:03:01

OK, that's your first thought.

0:03:010:03:03

-Yeah.

-We will turn it over to

0:03:030:03:05

the wise sages that are our panel.

0:03:050:03:07

Your debate starts now.

0:03:070:03:08

Well, it ain't spaghetti.

0:03:080:03:10

No. Where are you going?

0:03:100:03:11

Fortunatamente, io parlo una piccola quantita di Italia.

0:03:110:03:14

E la questione, ciabatta.

0:03:140:03:16

Decisamente.

0:03:170:03:18

Mange tout, Rodney. Mange tout.

0:03:180:03:20

-It's ciabatta.

-OK, you're nailed-on?

0:03:200:03:22

It's not...

0:03:220:03:24

-Yeah, it's ciabatta.

-Do you want to argue?

0:03:240:03:26

-Any point arguing?

-I don't argue remotely.

0:03:260:03:29

If you're 100% sure, like that,

0:03:290:03:30

don't let's argue ourselves out of the right answer.

0:03:300:03:33

It's slipper-shaped.

0:03:330:03:34

It's not the word that's used for slipper,

0:03:340:03:36

but I know from eating over there and stuff, I'd be 99.9% certain.

0:03:360:03:40

-You were 100% certain just now, so stick with it.

-Yes.

0:03:400:03:42

-Stick with it.

-Ciabatta.

0:03:420:03:43

From the power of our Italian correspondent, AJ,

0:03:430:03:46

we are fully behind ciabatta.

0:03:460:03:48

So, Russell, straight out of the blocks there with some Italian.

0:03:490:03:52

-I had no idea what he was talking about, maybe you did...

-Nor me, no.

0:03:520:03:55

-..but he had confidence in it.

-Yeah.

-That's the thing.

0:03:550:03:58

The panel going along with Russell.

0:03:580:04:00

I think that's a good call.

0:04:000:04:02

It's slipper-shaped, and his Italian is far better than mine,

0:04:020:04:05

which is non-existent, so I think we'll go for ciabatta.

0:04:050:04:08

OK, let's see if we can get you up and running with £200.

0:04:080:04:12

Which of these Italian foods translates into the English

0:04:120:04:15

as "slipper"? Is it ciabatta?

0:04:150:04:17

Of course it is. There we go.

0:04:220:04:24

Well done. It refers to the shape of the loaf.

0:04:260:04:30

Simple as that. Up and running,

0:04:300:04:32

£200 in the bank, well played.

0:04:320:04:36

APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH

0:04:360:04:37

-If only they could all be this simple, AJ.

-Yeah.

0:04:390:04:42

Here we go. Let's see if we can get it up to 400

0:04:420:04:44

with our next question.

0:04:440:04:46

-You ever watch any Blackadder?

-Yes. I wouldn't say I was an avid fan,

0:05:040:05:08

but I've watched quite a lot of it.

0:05:080:05:10

-Anything jumping out there?

-I know Elizabeth I WAS in,

0:05:100:05:13

but the others, I think I'll have to see

0:05:130:05:16

if there's some knowledge of

0:05:160:05:18

Blackadder among the panel.

0:05:180:05:20

It is a cunning plan, as we hand over to our panel.

0:05:200:05:22

-The debate starts now.

-We've got a plan here, haven't we? Go on.

0:05:220:05:25

Well, I just wanted to ask a question,

0:05:250:05:27

-cos I haven't watched Blackadder.

-Right.

0:05:270:05:29

Was it all around the same period, or was it different periods?

0:05:290:05:32

This is our cunning plan, right, we're going to run you through

0:05:320:05:34

-the historical periods...

-OK.

-..and you tell us if you think...

0:05:340:05:37

Going to access the historical oracle.

0:05:370:05:39

But I think AJ is right about Elizabeth I.

0:05:390:05:41

-I think that was Miranda Richardson.

-And Walter Raleigh, I think.

0:05:410:05:44

Walter Raleigh was in Blackadder, definitely.

0:05:440:05:46

-Sir Walter Raleigh, definitely in.

-It's the other two.

0:05:460:05:48

So the next series was the regent, George IV.

0:05:480:05:53

So my question to you is - Duke of Wellington, Isaac Newton,

0:05:530:05:55

would that be coeval?

0:05:550:05:57

I don't think it would be coeval.

0:05:570:05:59

I think that's more likely to be Wellington.

0:05:590:06:01

I might be being dense, but I can't see Isaac Newton in Blackadder.

0:06:010:06:04

-But then I might...

-My next question is, when does Isaac Newton...?

0:06:040:06:07

Well, Isaac Newton had an apple falling on his head. I mean,

0:06:070:06:10

-it's the sort of thing you might do.

-Is he the 1600s?

0:06:100:06:12

I thought he was round about then,

0:06:120:06:14

which would put him well pre-Wellington.

0:06:140:06:17

And it would put him with the Charleses and the Jameses.

0:06:170:06:21

It would put him with the Stuarts.

0:06:210:06:22

I think if Isaac Newton is the 1600s,

0:06:220:06:24

there isn't a Blackadder series set in the 1600s.

0:06:240:06:27

-Apart from...

-None with the Stuarts.

-None with the Stuarts.

0:06:270:06:30

So we're saying Isaac Newton is the one who's not in it?

0:06:300:06:33

We could look like absolute goons here, couldn't we?

0:06:330:06:35

We could - we could look real fools.

0:06:350:06:37

So Russell's wonderful historical deduction,

0:06:370:06:40

-Ann's historical knowledge.

-The knowledge.

0:06:400:06:42

The knowledge of Widdecombe,

0:06:420:06:44

that Isaac Newton was not in Blackadder.

0:06:440:06:47

So our panel have gone for Isaac Newton.

0:06:470:06:50

Anything in there to help you?

0:06:500:06:52

Yes, I was thinking while they were talking and...

0:06:520:06:55

with the Blackadder series, there is very much

0:06:550:06:58

connections between royalty.

0:06:580:07:00

Walter Raleigh and the Duke of Wellington are connected to royalty,

0:07:000:07:03

so I'm going to go with the panel again,

0:07:030:07:06

and I think Isaac Newton is the odd one out.

0:07:060:07:09

OK, we don't think that Isaac Newton was in an episode of Blackadder.

0:07:090:07:14

For £200, is it the correct answer?

0:07:140:07:15

It is the correct answer! Well done. APPLAUSE

0:07:210:07:23

APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH

0:07:270:07:29

What an amazing bit of deduction that was. Well played, panel.

0:07:290:07:32

Never seen an episode of Blackadder, but she knew the answer!

0:07:320:07:36

Isaac Newton lived in the historical period between Blackadder's

0:07:360:07:40

second and third series.

0:07:400:07:42

-Ah!

-Blackadder One is the only Blackadder series

0:07:420:07:45

not to feature Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie or Miranda Richardson.

0:07:450:07:49

Well done, everybody.

0:07:490:07:50

It means, AJ, you're up to £400.

0:07:500:07:52

APPLAUSE

0:07:520:07:54

OK, let's play Round Two.

0:07:580:08:00

AJ, Round Two is our picture round.

0:08:020:08:04

All you have to do is to place three pictures in the correct order.

0:08:040:08:07

There are two questions in each round,

0:08:070:08:09

and each correct answer is worth £300.

0:08:090:08:12

You've had a 100% record so far.

0:08:120:08:14

Our panel have had a 100% record so far.

0:08:140:08:16

Let's see if we can keep this rolling.

0:08:160:08:18

Here comes your first question.

0:08:180:08:20

It's a culture question, and that's why I will be no use whatsoever.

0:08:430:08:48

-What are you thinking?

-I've never actually seen the three paintings.

0:08:480:08:52

I'm thinking that Constable, with a landscape,

0:08:520:08:55

is going to be a smaller painting. We shall see.

0:08:550:08:59

OK, you don't need to make a decision now.

0:08:590:09:01

Let's see if our panel can shed any light on this.

0:09:010:09:04

-Your debate starts now.

-I'm sure I've seen some Botticelli

0:09:040:09:06

in Florence in the Uffizi museum.

0:09:060:09:09

I think...gigantic.

0:09:090:09:11

I've seen two of them, but The Birth of Venus by Botticelli...

0:09:110:09:13

-Were you wearing ciabattas at the time(?)

-Yeah. I can't remember

0:09:130:09:16

where I saw Botticelli. I think it might be in the National Gallery.

0:09:160:09:19

And if I'm remembering correctly,

0:09:190:09:21

this is about 10-12 foot.

0:09:210:09:23

I mean, you stand in front of it,

0:09:230:09:24

you can't see it when you get up

0:09:240:09:26

close to it. Starry Night I saw in Amsterdam,

0:09:260:09:28

but I'm pretty sure it's not gigantic.

0:09:280:09:32

It's this.

0:09:320:09:33

AJ, you could not have a better man on the panel for this question.

0:09:330:09:36

The Hay Wain, you would think Constable had it on an easel

0:09:360:09:39

at the site, which would lead you to think, "How big can it be,

0:09:390:09:42

"if it's on an easel being painted in situ?"

0:09:420:09:44

The same with Starry Night, of course.

0:09:440:09:46

So what are you proposing, Russell?

0:09:460:09:49

Botticelli has got to be the biggest.

0:09:490:09:50

The Italians didn't really do miniatures, did they?

0:09:500:09:53

-Let's get Botticelli there.

-Confident Botticelli's the biggest.

0:09:530:09:55

I haven't seen the Hay Wain in real life, so it's going to be a guess.

0:09:550:09:58

Starry Night is not a massive picture.

0:09:580:10:00

-It's not.

-But you say it's like...?

0:10:000:10:02

Not massive, but it's at least like that.

0:10:020:10:04

Then it's got to be bigger than Hay Wain, hasn't it?

0:10:040:10:06

-Possibly.

-I've seen Hay Wain on a postcard,

0:10:060:10:08

-but that doesn't help at all, does it?

-No, no.

0:10:080:10:10

Yeah, I mean, that's the best guess I can make,

0:10:100:10:13

but it is a guess.

0:10:130:10:15

So we've got a man on our panel who's seen two of these

0:10:150:10:17

in real life. So, we're going to go for Constable being the smallest,

0:10:170:10:21

followed by Van Gogh's and big old boy Botticelli at the end.

0:10:210:10:25

I'm sure that is - it's massive.

0:10:250:10:26

This is a great bit of fortune here, AJ.

0:10:260:10:28

So what we're saying is that

0:10:280:10:30

Russell has actually seen The Birth of Venus.

0:10:300:10:32

Not literally.

0:10:320:10:34

It was ages ago.

0:10:340:10:35

So what I'm thinking is, I'm agreeing with Botticelli,

0:10:350:10:39

cos he's a large-scale painter. And Hay Wain, as Ann said,

0:10:390:10:44

I think he was probably painting

0:10:440:10:46

it at the side of the Hay Wain

0:10:460:10:48

on an A3-size canvas. So I think

0:10:480:10:51

I'm going to stick with the panel.

0:10:510:10:53

OK.

0:10:530:10:55

You are agreeing with the panel.

0:10:550:10:57

So far, you've all had a 100% record.

0:10:570:10:59

For £300.

0:11:000:11:02

Is that the correct order, from smallest to largest?

0:11:020:11:05

AUDIENCE GROANS

0:11:100:11:11

It's the wrong order.

0:11:110:11:13

Let's see what the correct order actually is.

0:11:130:11:16

Ah, it's the other way around.

0:11:160:11:18

Starry Night was the smallest,

0:11:180:11:20

then the Hay Wain, then The Birth of Venus.

0:11:200:11:23

Unfortunately, AJ, that means no money for that question,

0:11:230:11:26

but still plenty of opportunities to get it up.

0:11:260:11:28

You still have £400 in the prize pot.

0:11:280:11:30

OK, AJ, let's have a little look at question two -

0:11:340:11:36

here it comes.

0:11:360:11:37

Who is looking oldest there to you?

0:11:510:11:52

I think Lord Sugar is looking the oldest.

0:11:530:11:56

Whether he works hardest, I don't know.

0:11:560:11:59

And Richard Branson being the youngest.

0:11:590:12:02

You're thinking Branson, then Bill Gates, then Lord Sugar?

0:12:020:12:05

Panel, let's see if you can help this one.

0:12:050:12:08

The debate starts now.

0:12:080:12:10

-Tricky, tricky.

-I'm not convinced Branson is that young,

0:12:100:12:13

because I can remember Branson

0:12:130:12:15

being about when I was a graduate.

0:12:150:12:17

And there were the airlines and everything,

0:12:170:12:20

and I can remember him as a major character,

0:12:200:12:22

certainly in the early '70s.

0:12:220:12:24

'70s, right. So, he was probably born

0:12:240:12:26

in the '50s, do you think? I think Bill Gates

0:12:260:12:29

was a college dropout in the early '80s, so that...

0:12:290:12:33

-COLLEGE dropout?

-Yeah, college dropout.

0:12:330:12:35

He didn't finish his computer degree.

0:12:350:12:36

I'm pretty sure that was late '70s, early '80s.

0:12:360:12:38

-So he's younger than Branson?

-It would put him 1960-ish.

0:12:380:12:41

And I think Lord Sugar is older than that.

0:12:410:12:44

You think Sugar might be the oldest?

0:12:440:12:46

I think Sugar was born in, perhaps,

0:12:460:12:48

like, late '40s?

0:12:480:12:50

I interviewed him 18 months ago.

0:12:500:12:53

He looked really fresh-faced.

0:12:530:12:55

I wouldn't have said, if he'd have said to me he's 70,

0:12:550:12:57

-I would not have believed he was 70.

-He's got to be nearly 70.

0:12:570:13:00

Why do you think that?

0:13:000:13:01

He was already an established businessman

0:13:010:13:03

when he launched Amstrad, which was the '80s.

0:13:030:13:06

So, I think he was in his late-30s, early-40s in the '80s.

0:13:060:13:10

I'm willing to gamble that his birthday is about 1946-1947.

0:13:100:13:13

So it would be Gates, Branson, Sugar, on your analysis?

0:13:130:13:16

-So Sugar the oldest.

-I mean, this is guesswork.

0:13:160:13:19

I'm happy to stick with that - are you happy to?

0:13:190:13:21

-I'm happy to.

-Are you happy to stick with it?

0:13:210:13:23

-I am, yeah.

-OK, so...

0:13:230:13:25

-We don't really know the answer.

-The result...shh!

0:13:250:13:28

The result of that incredibly long discussion is that

0:13:280:13:31

we are going to go, youngest first,

0:13:310:13:33

we think Bill Gates,

0:13:330:13:34

followed by Richard Branson,

0:13:340:13:36

and the old man of the house is Lord Sugar.

0:13:360:13:39

Ann happy to admit that they're not sure,

0:13:390:13:42

but that's the order they have come up with.

0:13:420:13:45

So they don't think Branson is the youngest.

0:13:450:13:47

Yeah, from listening to what they were saying,

0:13:470:13:50

I think Bill Gates...

0:13:500:13:52

I actually remember the story about

0:13:520:13:54

starting off in the garage

0:13:540:13:55

and dropping out of college.

0:13:550:13:56

So, that fits in with

0:13:560:13:58

my knowledge of things.

0:13:580:14:00

Lord Sugar, I think, is the same age as my dad.

0:14:000:14:03

He is 70 this year.

0:14:030:14:05

I think I will go with the panel and change my mind,

0:14:050:14:07

and we'll go with Bill Gates,

0:14:070:14:09

Richard Branson and then Lord Sugar.

0:14:090:14:11

-So you're changing your mind?

-Yes.

-You're going with the panel.

0:14:110:14:14

-Yes.

-For £300, is that the correct order?

0:14:140:14:17

He can't be 71, Branson, come on.

0:14:190:14:20

It is the correct order!

0:14:220:14:24

-Well done.

-Thank you.

0:14:260:14:28

Nice work once again from our panel.

0:14:280:14:31

Bill Gates born in 1955.

0:14:310:14:33

Richard Branson was born in 1950.

0:14:330:14:36

And, Russell, Lord Sugar born in 1947.

0:14:360:14:40

There you go. So, AJ,

0:14:400:14:42

at the end of that round I can tell you that

0:14:420:14:45

your prize pot is now up to £700.

0:14:450:14:47

Well done, sir.

0:14:470:14:49

-Thank you very much.

-Well played.

0:14:490:14:50

OK, our panel performing very, very well.

0:14:520:14:54

If one of them was standing out for you at this stage,

0:14:540:14:56

who do you think it is?

0:14:560:14:58

I think Russell is a fountain of knowledge. He is definitely good at this game.

0:14:580:15:02

OK, well, there is still another round to play and there is still another £1,000 up for grabs

0:15:020:15:05

as we play Round Three.

0:15:050:15:07

AJ, in this round you will face questions that contain three statements

0:15:100:15:13

that relate to a person, a place or a thing.

0:15:130:15:16

Only one of those statements is correct.

0:15:160:15:19

It's up to you to try to find the correct one.

0:15:190:15:21

There are two questions in this round and because it's our final round,

0:15:210:15:24

were going to up the cash to £500 for every correct answer.

0:15:240:15:27

So, best of luck.

0:15:270:15:28

Here we go. Here comes your first question of Round Three.

0:15:280:15:32

-Hm. Mm.

-Yeah.

0:15:510:15:52

I know that they grow on a bush.

0:15:530:15:55

So, I know that they don't grow on trees.

0:15:550:15:57

The other two, I'll have to see if there is some knowledge from over

0:15:570:16:02

there to make my decision.

0:16:020:16:03

I think A is definitely not true.

0:16:030:16:06

OK, you think that bananas don't grow on trees.

0:16:060:16:09

Let's see if our panel can narrow it down any further.

0:16:090:16:12

The debate starts now.

0:16:120:16:14

Well, we grew bananas in Singapore.

0:16:140:16:17

Oh, that's a good start, banana woman.

0:16:170:16:19

Banana woman.

0:16:190:16:20

Although they looked like bushes, they do look like bushes,

0:16:200:16:25

they were always referred to as trees.

0:16:250:16:27

-Banana trees.

-Are they not shrubs?

0:16:270:16:29

I'm sure I've had this question in a pub quiz before.

0:16:290:16:32

I think it's technically a shrub.

0:16:320:16:34

But so is a rhododendron, but you can refer to it as a tree,

0:16:340:16:37

if it's not the shrub bush.

0:16:370:16:39

All I'm saying is, we refer to them as trees. That's all I'm saying.

0:16:390:16:42

Yes. The other two facts, I completely have no clue.

0:16:420:16:44

-Well...

-I know they've got lots of potassium.

0:16:440:16:47

Is it high potassium makes them radioactive?

0:16:470:16:49

-I don't know.

-No, gives you hyperkalemia.

0:16:490:16:52

-What about bamia?

-I'm trying to work it out.

0:16:520:16:54

I've never heard that word in my life.

0:16:540:16:56

Bamia, I don't know what that is.

0:16:580:16:59

I don't know where it's from.

0:16:590:17:01

This is our least helpful debate so far.

0:17:010:17:03

The radioactive thing is so silly it sounds plausible.

0:17:030:17:06

So, right, come on. Let's find something definitive for AJ.

0:17:060:17:08

I'm still going to stay with trees.

0:17:080:17:11

But I'm quite happy to defer to you two.

0:17:110:17:15

Mine would be a complete blind guess, based on the silliness of it.

0:17:150:17:18

-Mm.

-I'd go for radio...

-Radioactive.

-It's a radioactive food.

0:17:180:17:21

The decision of the panel...

0:17:210:17:23

LAUGHTER

0:17:230:17:25

You can go with your own decision here.

0:17:250:17:27

I think we're going to go...

0:17:270:17:29

radioactive.

0:17:290:17:30

OK, AJ -

0:17:310:17:33

Ann's family used to grow banana trees or bushes in Malaysia,

0:17:330:17:38

but they've gone for radioactive.

0:17:380:17:41

The same as Russell - it's been in a quiz

0:17:410:17:43

and that's why it's stuck in my mind.

0:17:430:17:46

They're not trees.

0:17:460:17:47

Bamia, I've never heard of,

0:17:470:17:49

and somewhere in the back of my mind,

0:17:490:17:51

I don't know where it's come from,

0:17:510:17:53

but I think I'm going to go with the panel.

0:17:530:17:55

-No!

-I think radioactive is the...

0:17:550:17:58

is the answer.

0:17:580:18:00

So, once again, you are going with the panel.

0:18:000:18:03

You haven't disagreed with our panel so far.

0:18:030:18:05

Our panel not particularly sure about this one, Dan.

0:18:050:18:07

Haven't a clue on this one.

0:18:070:18:09

But are bananas radioactive?

0:18:090:18:11

For £500.

0:18:110:18:12

Oh!

0:18:170:18:18

APPLAUSE

0:18:180:18:20

THEY LAUGH

0:18:200:18:22

Bananas are radioactive

0:18:240:18:26

-because of their high potassium content.

-Oh, yeah.

-See, I was right.

0:18:260:18:30

They don't grow on trees.

0:18:300:18:31

It's a giant herb which springs from an underground stem

0:18:310:18:34

-to form a false trunk.

-Ah!

0:18:340:18:37

And bamia is a dish of okra.

0:18:370:18:40

Well played. That's £500 added to your prize pot now, AJ,

0:18:400:18:45

giving you a new total of £1,200.

0:18:450:18:47

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:18:470:18:49

Very nice work. Let's see if we can add another £500 to that

0:18:510:18:55

with the next question.

0:18:550:18:57

Not my strongest subject.

0:19:160:19:18

I've seen clips of Psycho and The Birds,

0:19:180:19:22

but not the whole film.

0:19:220:19:24

I think, at the moment, the Oscar is the favourite.

0:19:240:19:27

But I shall see what my learned friends have to say.

0:19:270:19:31

Did you call them learned friends?

0:19:310:19:33

LAUGHTER

0:19:330:19:34

Friends, not learned.

0:19:340:19:35

You're thinking that he may have won Best Director Oscar.

0:19:350:19:39

Let's see if we have any Hitchcock fans on the panel.

0:19:390:19:41

The debate starts now.

0:19:410:19:43

I covered the Oscars this year.

0:19:430:19:45

-Yeah.

-And there's always that list that comes out

0:19:450:19:47

of people who've been nominated and never won,

0:19:470:19:49

and I'm sure he is on that list.

0:19:490:19:51

He's had five, six nominations for Best Director,

0:19:510:19:54

-but he was one of those who never won.

-When you're saying sure,

0:19:540:19:57

you mean that literally, not metaphorically? You're sure?

0:19:570:19:59

He's won an Oscar, but I don't think he won Best Director.

0:19:590:20:02

It was probably Best Picture or something.

0:20:020:20:04

-He's one of those who missed out.

-I've watched a few of them.

0:20:040:20:06

I've definitely watched a Hitchcock movie with a red-headed murderer

0:20:060:20:09

who goes around strangling people, and I can see the red hair.

0:20:090:20:12

So I'm almost sure that there are colour movies in there.

0:20:120:20:14

Yeah, I think some of his great works are black and white,

0:20:140:20:17

-but there's definitely colour films.

-Psycho was black and white,

0:20:170:20:20

but I can see a scene from The Birds where there was red blood.

0:20:200:20:22

So I don't think everything was always in black and white.

0:20:220:20:25

-It was colour.

-It's got to be colour.

0:20:250:20:27

The knighthood thing - say "Sir Alfred Hitchcock".

0:20:270:20:29

-Sir Alfred Hitchcock.

-No. Have you ever heard him referred to

0:20:290:20:32

-as Sir Alfred?

-No, but it actually sounds right.

0:20:320:20:34

-Sir Alfred Hitchcock.

-I've never heard that.

-Sir Alfred Hitchcock.

0:20:340:20:38

You keep saying it, but I'm telling you I've never heard it.

0:20:380:20:40

LAUGHTER

0:20:400:20:41

I'm 90% certain he is on that list of people

0:20:410:20:44

who haven't won a Best Director Oscar.

0:20:440:20:46

We know, pretty certain, that his films have been in colour.

0:20:460:20:50

You're looking at me in that way as if to say,

0:20:500:20:52

"What are you talking about, you fool?

0:20:520:20:54

"He's clearly won a Best Director Oscar." Aren't you?

0:20:540:20:57

No. I'm not going to say it's clear, cos if it was clear,

0:20:570:21:00

I would have said it a long time ago.

0:21:000:21:02

But it seems to me the most probable.

0:21:020:21:04

I've seen the ginger murderer, you've seen the...

0:21:040:21:07

You've definitely seen, not known of,

0:21:070:21:09

-a ginger-headed man?

-I went for the latest movie in the box set

0:21:090:21:12

that I didn't watch immediately thinking it would be the best.

0:21:120:21:15

-And there was...

-A red-headed man strangling people

0:21:150:21:18

-in phone boxes and all sorts.

-OK.

-OK.

-Was horrific.

0:21:180:21:20

We are saying the true fact about Alfred Hitchcock is -

0:21:200:21:23

forget about Best Director thing, forget about the colour films -

0:21:230:21:27

he is Sir Alfred Hitchcock, we think.

0:21:270:21:30

YOU think.

0:21:300:21:32

LAUGHTER

0:21:320:21:33

Was that of any use at all, AJ?

0:21:340:21:37

Er, jogged some memories for me.

0:21:370:21:39

The clip of The Birds I've seen, I think, had colour in it.

0:21:390:21:42

And if there's a list of people that haven't won,

0:21:420:21:45

it seems probable that Sir Alfred Hitchcock would be on it.

0:21:450:21:49

-Ooooh!

-Hello!

-He's using it.

-Oh, I hope so.

0:21:490:21:52

-So you're going to agree with the panel?

-Yes. Yep.

0:21:520:21:55

OK. Ann has her head in her hands.

0:21:550:21:58

Well, I just hope so.

0:21:580:22:00

I want him to get the money.

0:22:000:22:01

OK, for £500, has Alfred Hitchcock received a knighthood?

0:22:010:22:05

Oh...

0:22:090:22:10

Yes!

0:22:100:22:11

APPLAUSE

0:22:110:22:14

Well played.

0:22:140:22:16

His first film in colour was Rope.

0:22:170:22:20

Is that the ginger strangler?

0:22:200:22:22

-The ginger strangler was actually Frenzy.

-Frenzy.

0:22:220:22:25

Although I'm going to call it The Ginger Murderer from now on.

0:22:250:22:29

He was nominated five times - you were right, Dan -

0:22:290:22:31

but he never won.

0:22:310:22:33

And he was knighted in the 1980 New Year's Honours list.

0:22:330:22:37

Well played, AJ. Well done, panel.

0:22:370:22:40

It means now we add £500 to your prize pot,

0:22:400:22:44

which is up to £1,700.

0:22:440:22:46

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:22:460:22:48

And that is what you're going to be playing for, AJ,

0:22:480:22:51

in today's final debate.

0:22:510:22:54

£1,700, a lot of money -

0:22:540:22:56

what are you going to do with it if you manage to bag it today?

0:22:560:22:59

Erm, if I can win the £1,700,

0:22:590:23:02

I could buy a new tennis wheelchair, which would be top of the range

0:23:020:23:06

and let me compete against everybody around the world.

0:23:060:23:09

So what you're saying is, there are gold medals at stake?

0:23:090:23:13

-LAUGHTER

-Yes.

0:23:130:23:15

There is one question that stands between you and that £1,700

0:23:150:23:18

and that is our final debate.

0:23:180:23:20

That is one question.

0:23:200:23:22

That question will have six possible answers.

0:23:220:23:24

It will have three correct answers.

0:23:240:23:27

If you get all three, then you leave here with your £1,700.

0:23:270:23:31

I'm afraid if you don't get all three, then you leave with nothing.

0:23:310:23:35

-Yeah.

-So, bearing in mind there is a wheelchair to win,

0:23:350:23:38

a gold medal at stake...

0:23:380:23:39

Sporting legend.

0:23:410:23:42

LAUGHTER

0:23:420:23:43

You see what you've done now? You see what you've done now?!

0:23:430:23:46

Too much pressure!

0:23:460:23:48

So, which of our panel

0:23:480:23:50

would you like to play the final debate with you?

0:23:500:23:53

You've got Wikipedia...

0:23:540:23:56

-It's going to have to be Russell.

-LAUGHTER

0:23:560:23:58

OK, Russell. Join us as we play the final debate.

0:23:580:24:02

APPLAUSE

0:24:020:24:04

OK, Russell, AJ has chosen you for the final debate.

0:24:080:24:11

-How are you feeling?

-Very nervous, just because, obviously,

0:24:110:24:14

what you'd use the money for is so amazing. It does up the pressure.

0:24:140:24:17

-Thanks for that, AJ.

-Yeah!

0:24:170:24:19

LAUGHTER

0:24:190:24:20

Because we are nice here at Debatable,

0:24:200:24:22

we're going to give you two categories to choose from.

0:24:220:24:24

Here you go. Here is today's final debate categories.

0:24:240:24:27

Geography and Musicals.

0:24:300:24:32

-I'm hopeless on musicals. Absolutely got nothing at all.

-So am I.

0:24:320:24:36

-I guess we're doing geography, then.

-Yeah.

-You've travelled a lot, right?

0:24:360:24:39

With the Royal Navy. I've travelled a lot around the UK with stand-up.

0:24:390:24:43

-So I think between us, we've seen a bit of the world.

-Yeah.

0:24:430:24:46

Yeah, I think geography is the way forward on this one.

0:24:460:24:49

OK, by default - no knowledge on musicals, you've travelled a bit -

0:24:490:24:53

it's going to be geography.

0:24:530:24:55

So, AJ, for £1,700, with 45 seconds on the clock,

0:24:560:25:01

best of luck. Here is today's final debate question.

0:25:010:25:04

So, AJ and Russell,

0:25:310:25:33

for the final time, your 45 seconds starts now.

0:25:330:25:36

OK, Bulgaria, the capital is Sofia.

0:25:360:25:38

Nigeria isn't Lagos - the name escapes me,

0:25:380:25:41

but it's up north, and it's definitely not Nigeria.

0:25:410:25:43

Venezuela is Caracas.

0:25:430:25:44

Therefore, the answer's - Singapore, Kuwait, Luxembourg.

0:25:440:25:47

OK, I know Kuwait and Luxembourg, so...

0:25:470:25:49

Singapore's an island. It just is a city on its own.

0:25:490:25:52

Kuwait - Kuwait City. And Luxembourg is Luxembourg City.

0:25:520:25:55

Caracas, Sofia.

0:25:550:25:57

Oh, what's it called, the capital of Nigeria?

0:25:570:26:00

It's in the north. The name escapes me,

0:26:000:26:02

but it's definitely not Nigeria.

0:26:020:26:03

Everyone thinks it's Lagos and it isn't, it's the other one.

0:26:030:26:07

-Superb.

-Almost 100%.

0:26:070:26:09

-Are you in agreement?

-Yes, definitely.

0:26:090:26:11

You've probably been near a few of those places.

0:26:110:26:13

Why don't we just hang out in the time left over?

0:26:130:26:15

-LAUGHTER

-How are you?

-I'm fine, man.

0:26:150:26:17

It's just really nice doing TV during the day.

0:26:170:26:20

-It's normal hours.

-It's good.

0:26:200:26:21

LAUGHTER

0:26:210:26:22

OK. Very, very certain. Very, very relaxed.

0:26:230:26:26

AJ, I need three answers,

0:26:260:26:29

and let's hope they're correct!

0:26:290:26:31

LAUGHTER

0:26:310:26:32

So, the three answers we're going for

0:26:320:26:34

is Kuwait, Luxembourg and Singapore.

0:26:340:26:36

Kuwait, Luxembourg and Singapore.

0:26:360:26:40

Let's hope you're right.

0:26:400:26:42

-If we're wrong, we're going to be so...

-For Russell's sake!

0:26:420:26:44

-LAUGHTER

-That was so cocky if it's wrong.

0:26:440:26:47

OK, Kuwait, Singapore and Luxembourg.

0:26:470:26:49

£1,700 at stake.

0:26:490:26:51

First up, you said Kuwait.

0:26:510:26:53

Is Kuwait a country whose name features

0:26:530:26:57

in the name of the capital city?

0:26:570:26:59

It's correct.

0:27:020:27:04

APPLAUSE

0:27:040:27:05

Kuwait City.

0:27:070:27:08

You then said Luxembourg.

0:27:080:27:10

Is Luxembourg a correct answer?

0:27:120:27:14

To keep us on track.

0:27:140:27:16

APPLAUSE

0:27:190:27:20

Singapore, though, has to be right.

0:27:220:27:24

We need three out of three in order to get the money.

0:27:240:27:27

For £1,700,

0:27:270:27:30

is Singapore a correct answer?

0:27:300:27:33

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:27:390:27:41

Brilliant.

0:27:410:27:42

Well done, AJ! Nice work, fella.

0:27:440:27:46

Well done, Russell.

0:27:460:27:48

And the relief around the studio!

0:27:480:27:50

LAUGHTER

0:27:500:27:52

Congratulations - you've won £1,700, AJ! Well done!

0:27:520:27:54

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:27:540:27:56

-Congratulations.

-Give me some love.

-Oh, hug it out! There you go.

0:27:560:27:59

Well done. £1,700.

0:27:590:28:01

Kuwait - Kuwait City.

0:28:010:28:02

You were right. Singapore is Singapore.

0:28:020:28:05

Luxembourg is Luxembourg.

0:28:050:28:07

And the only thing I have to pick you up on

0:28:070:28:08

is Abuja is actually in central Nigeria, not the north.

0:28:080:28:11

Oh! I've been disgraced on television.

0:28:110:28:13

You've been disgraced, Russell. You really have.

0:28:130:28:16

LAUGHTER

0:28:160:28:17

Well played, AJ. That is it from Debatable.

0:28:170:28:20

There's just enough time for me to thank a fantastic panel -

0:28:200:28:23

Russell Kane, Ann Widdicombe and Dan Walker.

0:28:230:28:25

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:28:250:28:27

I do hope you've enjoyed watching.

0:28:270:28:29

We will see you next time for more heated debates.

0:28:290:28:31

For now, it's goodbye from me.
