Episode 3 Think Tank

Meet our Think Tank, they've answered hundreds of general

knowledge questions under exam conditions before the show.

Their answers are in. How helpful will they be, though,

to the three contestants? Playing the game are Gill,

a bookseller from Beckenham, in Kent,

Declan, a support worker from Belfast,

and Jon, a fire officer from Hedge End, in Southampton.

This is Think Tank.

Welcome to the show.

Welcome as ever to our Think Tank,

which includes make-up artist Jordan,

former make-up artist Anisha and one-time model Mark,

which explains why you all look so utterly fantastic.

THEY CHUCKLE

Hoping the Think Tank's brains are as devastating as their beauty

are our three contestants.

Welcome to you all. Good luck.

-OK, Gill, lovely to have you with us. You work in a bookshop.

-Yes.

And in your spare time, do you do other things as well?

I volunteer for Battersea Dogs & Cats Home,

do lots of work for them and I read and I run.

-Training for anything in particular?

-Yes. I'm training to run

a half marathon in aid of Battersea.

-Do you have any dogs and cats of your own?

-I have a rescued cat.

Oh, that's nice. And what's your weakest subject?

Sport, science, history.

Well, Cleve is here for sport.

Science and history, Arminel.

But, actually, Ken's pretty good at some periods of history too,

aren't you, Ken?

-You won't believe me, but I was actually born during the war.

-OK.

-Gill, nice to have you.

-Thank you.

Declan, you're a support worker in Belfast. Are you married?

I just got married about three weeks ago.

-And your wife let you come on the Think Tank?

-She did.

It was actually her that told me to apply for it in the first place.

But why didn't she apply herself?

Put your best foot forward, I guess.

THEY LAUGH

Ooh, can't wait till he gets home.

Do you have any special knowledge?

Professional wrestling.

-Who are your favourite wrestlers?

-Shawn Michaels, The Rock.

THINK TANKER GASPS

Jordan got very excited when you mentioned his name.

Why is that, Jordan?

Shawn Michael's theme song is my ring tone on my phone.

-I love WWE.

-Nice.

Well, good. There's an alliance. What about your weakest subjects?

World politics, outside the UK, I may possibly struggle on.

Mark can help you on that.

You used to work down in Westminster, didn't you?

Yeah. I've got a bizarre set of political knowledge.

So, hopefully, Declan, yeah, come to me, I'll help you with that.

OK, Declan. Good luck.

And, Jon, we come to you.

You're a fire officer, so you must know a lot

about fire risks, I suppose.

Yeah. I've spent 18 years as a firefighter,

so it's been pretty much all my career.

We all think of firefighters as being incredibly brave, of course.

There can't be anything you're scared of, is there?

I really don't like those eight-legged, creepy-crawly spiders.

-I can't stand them.

-Gosh. That's amazing.

-Any of you scared of spiders?

-I'm not scared of them.

But just anything that's got more legs than me can't be trusted.

THEY LAUGH

So what's your strongest subject going to be, Jon?

Probably sport and maybe a bit of film and TV.

And where would you need some help?

History, sort of arts and books, maybe.

Arts and books, any takers?

Is it Mills & Boon?

Romantic literature of the modern variety,

Jackie's your person. OK.

Well, welcome to all three of you. Lovely to have you here.

So, Mark, we've heard a little bit about what the contestants do

and where they're from. Of course, you're new to the Think Tank.

What's your background?

Well, I'm from a small town in Ayrshire, West Scotland,

called Ardrossan.

What do you get up to in your free time?

I read a lot. I'm an avid Radio 4 listener as well.

So that's where I accrue a lot of pretty much useful knowledge.

So if you're listening to Radio 4, you must be very cultured.

I don't know. Some of it comes in and some of it goes out.

But let's hope some of it stays in for your contestants today.

And, Jordan.

I'm a make-up artist. I work in Belfast.

And what do you like to do in your spare time?

My main passion is musical theatre.

I love doing am-dram and I try and do a couple of shows a year.

I love to sing and act.

Not so much the dancing, but I sort of try to move in time to the music.

We are going to get a mic stand out here and an orchestra

and we'll have a special edition.

Well, lovely to have you both with us.

Over three rounds, our contestants will try to tap into the knowledge

of the Think Tank to build up as much money as possible.

Don't forget, they have tried to answer all the questions

to the best of their ability, whether right or wrong.

The two highest scorers go through to the final.

Ultimately, just one of you will walk away with the cash prize.

So, let's play the first round.

I'm going to ask you a question, then every member of the Think Tank

will reveal the answer they gave before the show.

The right answer's always in there somewhere, but also,

any number of mistakes in the mix too.

Pick out the correct answer, £200 is added to your prize fund.

Two questions each, you're up first, Gill.

Here's the question we asked the Think Tank.

Have a think about that while we see what the Think Tank thought.

Apple.

Pear.

Strawberry.

Pear.

Apple.

Apple.

Pear.

Apple.

Not much of a choice there,

actually, is there?

They're sort of grouped together.

What do you think, Gill?

I know that a Worcester is a type of apple.

But the Pearmain is throwing me a bit.

But I think I'm going to go with apple.

-Apple?

-Yeah.

-OK.

The Worcester Pearmain is a variety of which fruit?

You're saying it's apple. Let's see if you're right.

Apple, it is. Well done.

There are many types of apple called pearmain,

-so-called because they look a bit like a pear.

-Oh.

Did not know that.

Well done. £200 to you, Gill.

Declan, here's your first question.

What did the Think Tank pick for this? Arminel?

Cursed Child.

Cursed Child.

Eternal Menace.

Muggle Child.

Big Stage.

Cursed Child.

Philosopher's Stone.

New Beginning.

Several realistic titles

for you there, Declan.

Only one of them is going to be right.

Well, I'm a fan of the Harry Potter films.

I've seen all the films more than once.

The Philosopher's Stone is the first book/film in the series.

So I can rule that out straight away.

Big stage...

could be right.

But I'm fairly certain it's the Cursed Child.

-Cursed Child.

-Yep.

The 2016 stage play, based on a story by JK Rowling,

Jack Thorne and John Tiffany

is titled Harry Potter And The... what?

You're saying it's Cursed Child. Let's see if you're right.

Cursed Child is the right answer. Well done.

Well done to Arminel, Cleve

and Peter, who all got that right.

Well done.

Set 19 years after the last Harry Potter book

and features Harry and his son Albus.

So £200 for you, Declan.

And we come to Jon for your first question.

Let's see what the Think Tank made of this. Arminel?

Lamp.

Air tanks.

Tractor.

Davy Video Disc.

Lamp.

Pacemaker.

Toilet.

Lamp.

Several useful devices,

only one of them's going to be right though.

Yeah. I think I'll rule out the Davy Video Disc.

-Sorry, Anisha.

-It's all right.

-I don't think's it that.

I think it's a little early for a pacemaker.

Toilet, I don't think.

I'm going to go with the majority and say the lamp.

-I think it's the safety lamp.

-The lamp?

-Yes.

-OK.

Sir Humphry Davy is best known for inventing what device in 1815

which still bears his name?

You're saying it's lamp. Let's see if you can light this one up.

You can indeed. Lamp, it is.

The lamp originally invented for using in coal mines.

-Anisha.

-Yeah?

-Interesting. DVDs in 1815.

-I know.

I wrote it down and thought, "Wait. That's far too early for that."

-Yeah. You've got to try though, haven't you?

-You've got to try.

-You've got to write something.

-All right.

Well done, Jon. £200 go to you.

And we come back to Gill for your second question.

Let's see what the Think Tank made of this one.

Bones.

Bones.

Captain Kirk.

Scotty.

The Ship's Dog.

Bones.

Spock.

Doc.

Do you remember Star Trek at all?

No. I have a very good friend

who will be shouting at the television now.

So it wasn't Captain Kirk and it wasn't Spock,

cos they weren't their nicknames,

they were their actual names.

I don't think it was Scotty.

I don't think it was Ship's Dog.

So that leaves me with Doc or Bones.

I'm going to go Bones, but...

-..that's a guess.

-OK.

In the original Star Trek TV series,

what was the nickname of the character played by DeForest Kelley?

You're saying it's Bones. Let's see if you're right.

Which is correct, Bones.

His full name was Leonard McCoy and called Bones cos doctors

used to be called sawbones. So there you go.

The Ship's Dog, Jackie.

Do you think they had a dog on the USS Enterprise?

Well, I meant the Enterprise as a ship,

-and why shouldn't they have a dog?

-On a spaceship?

-Yeah, they had some weird-looking creatures.

-Yeah, I suppose.

Fair enough. Why not? OK.

All right. £200 for you, Gill. Well done.

And Declan, here's your second question.

Let's see if the Think Tank are on song with this one.

Charlie & The Chocolate Factory.

Calamity Jane.

Cabaret.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

West Side Story.

Charlie & The Chocolate Factory.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Three for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,

two for Charlie & The Chocolate Factory

and a couple of others in there as well. What do you think, Declan?

I've never seen Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

all the way through. I have seen Charlie & The Chocolate Factory

and that doesn't ring a bell.

The fact that Jordan has went with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,

-that's what I'll choose as my answer.

-All right.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is your answer for...

Let's see if you are on song with that.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, it was. Well done.

Toot Sweets were musical sweets invented by Caractacus Potts.

Very well chosen, Declan, to go with Jordan on that one. Good advice. OK.

£200 for you, then. And, Jon,

we come to you for your second question.

Arithmetical question of a sort.

Let's see what the Think Tank made of this.

Eight.

Eight.

Nine.

50.

Eight.

19.

Ten.

Eight.

Several different numbers there.

I had a number in my head before the answer came up

and luckily it is one of those answers on the board.

Eight is my answer.

You're saying it's eight. Let's see if you're right.

Eight, it is. Well done.

It's an imperial measurement,

so you children of the metric age

wouldn't have had that so well-known.

But we still use it, of course.

I'll tell you what, if there are 50 pints in a gallon,

I'm going drinking with you, Anisha.

OK. £200 for Jon. Well done.

And at the end of the first round,

let's take a look at how you're all doing.

And you've had a clean sweep. Well done. You're all tied on £400.

So it's even-stevens just for now, could change in the next round.

Every member of the Think Tank is holding two questions

which they answered correctly before the show.

You'll take it in turns to pick someone

from the Think Tank whose knowledge you think you can match.

For every correct answer,

another £200 will be added to your prize fund.

They're not experts, of course,

but they are interested in different subjects,

so you might want to think carefully about who's on your wavelength.

Once a Think Tanker has asked both of their questions,

they can't be picked again.

Gill, you get to go first.

Every last one of them to choose from, so who do you favour?

On the basis that I'm also a big Radio 4 fan,

I'm going to choose Mark.

Mark, our creative director.

OK. Well, it's a political question, so, Gill, good luck with this.

I think it's John Smith, who died.

-That's your answer?

-Yes. John Smith.

Yeah. It's a good answer. Well done.

Yes, John Smith died in 1994.

-Tony Blair was Shadow Home Secretary at the time.

-Mm.

£200 for you. Well done.

And, Declan, we come to you. And any one of the eight.

I'm going to pick Cleve on the hope

that his musical background might assist me.

I do have a musical background, but I'm also a huge sports fan.

And you've picked the other side of my attention.

The question is...

Major titles in which sport for Bernhard Langer and Martin Kaymer?

Is it swimming?

-Swimming is your answer?

-Yes.

Swimming?

They wouldn't be playing this sport if there was that much water there.

It's actually golf.

Golf is what we were looking for, I'm afraid, Declan.

Langer won the US Masters in 1985 and 1993.

And Kaymer won the US Open in 2014.

Good golfers. Not sure how good they are at swimming.

Nothing for you there, I'm afraid, Declan. Jon, you're up next.

Who would you like to choose?

I think I'll go for Peter, please.

Peter.

I'm a sort of pizza waiter but I like to check out

all the other restaurants,

just to make sure that my service is a little bit different

and a bit more exciting.

So it's a food question.

In Italian restaurants, what are grissini?

I don't know.

-I'm going to have to have a stab at pasta.

-Pasta?

It does sound like a pasta,

but it's actually breadsticks.

Grissini are breadsticks, I'm afraid.

So when you are sharpening up your service,

what is that little extra that we're going to get from Peter

when he's delivering his pizza to us?

Well, if it's a crying baby, I'll try and make balloon animals

and try and give them a balloon animal.

Or maybe even a shiny dish, so they can look at themselves

-in the mirror, sort of thing.

-And does it work?

Yeah, the kids love it, that sort of thing.

OK. Good stuff. Well done, Peter. Good.

We're coming round to yours then. Good. OK.

Nothing for you there, Jon, I'm afraid.

Gill, we come back to you, you can still choose from the whole tank.

I think I'll choose Anisha.

Our office assistant Anisha.

Ah. Well, the reason why I knew this is because I'm probably the oracle

of useless showbiz knowledge.

Great from your reaction. So you're probably going to get this.

OK. So the question is...

The oldest of David and Victoria Beckham's children?

-Brooklyn.

-Very quick. Brooklyn?

Very quick because it's right. Well done.

-The other children are Romeo, Cruz and...

-Harper.

-Harper.

Good knowledge. Well done.

£200 for you, Gill. Well done.

Declan, here's your second question

and you can still choose any one you like.

I'm also going to pick Anisha this time, please.

You're probably going to get this right. OK. So the question is...

Um... I remember the song well.

My sister played it on repeat back in the day

and it was Shania Twain.

Shania Twain?

Yeah. Once again, well done. It is.

Anisha, just remind us, how does that song go?

-SINGS:

-Man, I feel like a woman.

-SHE HUMS TUNE

-Whoo!

HE HUMS TUNE

-It is a banger, Bill.

-It's a banger?

-It's a banger.

-Is it?

-Yes.

-Oh, we like our bangers.

-We like our bangers.

We like our bangers, OK. Good.

£200 for you, Declan. Well done. Jon, we come to you.

Anyone but Anisha.

I'm going to try Peter again.

OK. It's a science question because I used to do a lot of science.

I actually did fuel and combustion science for my degree

and I remember going to the fire college, so...

It's not related to the question but it's still a science question.

-OK.

-OK.

Cells known as rods and cones are found in which

pair of organs of the human body?

-Yeah, I think they're in the eye.

-In the eye?

"Eye" can see that you got it right.

They're photo receptors associated with colour vision and fine detail.

OK. Good detail on that. £200 for you, Jon.

We come back to you, Gill.

And it's Anisha and Peter now who are out of the running.

I'm going to go back to Mark, please.

Mark.

OK. Well, my current job actually is more fashion than politics, Gill.

But this one's got a little bit of film in it as well.

So, good luck with this.

Right. I don't know the answer to this one but I'm thinking of

a fashion designer of Ghanaian descent.

So I'm thinking Ozwald Boateng.

-So you're going with Ozwald Boateng?

-Yeah.

-Mark, is that right?

Really well produced. Ozwald Boateng, well done.

And he's been given an OBE for his services to the industry.

-Yep.

-OK.

£200 to you again, Gill. Declan, we come to you.

Mark, Anisha and Peter, you may not choose.

Any one of the others though.

I'm going to choose Jackie.

Oh, right.

I take quite a keen interest in politics.

I love 1,001 ways how you can evade answering a question.

So my question is...

The electoral system in the UK

described as "first past the..." what?

Like horse racing, I believe it's first past the post.

First past the post?

You're quite right there. It is like a horse race. Yes.

Well done.

£200 for you, Declan.

Jon, we come to you and still five of the eight to choose from.

-I'll try out Arminel.

-Arminel.

This is a question that I got right because I'm a Londoner.

And because in London there have been a lot

of modern buildings going up.

So I was also interested in the architects.

So I hope you can answer this.

I'm struggling with this one. I need to think of a name.

Leonardo...

..Gazpacho.

-Leonardo...

-Gazpacho.

-Gazpacho?

-Yeah, it's got to be him.

-Is he close?

Brilliant, yes.

But the problem is and the reason why I know this

is because it's really surprising that this man is Italian-born

because his name is so British.

-And it's Richard Rogers.

-Oh, Richard Rogers.

It just stuck that he was Italian-born.

He also designed the Pompidou Centre and

the European Court Of Human Rights in Strasbourg.

And the question sort of led you a little bit up the wrong track.

-Yeah.

-But nothing for you there, I'm afraid, Jon.

That brings us to the end of the round.

Let's see how your prize funds have changed. Jon is on £600.

Declan is on £800.

In the lead, though, is Gill

with a perfect score so far, £1,000.

You picked three questions each but none of you chose Jordan or Ken.

We don't want them to be left out cos they're terribly clever.

So just for fun,

we thought we'd hear the question that Ken got right earlier.

-What is it, Ken?

-Well, I'm a film fanatic.

My mother was a cinema usherette,

so she used to get me in all the pictures.

This is quite an old picture, so I'm not sure whether you'll know.

So this is just for fun and you

might have the answer to this at home. Have a go.

-Any thoughts here?

-They worked together quite a lot.

-I think it's Rock Hudson.

-Rock Hudson, was it?

-Yes, well done. Rock Hudson.

-Well done.

Glad you could share that knowledge with us, Ken.

-Thanks very much.

-Yes. Good actor.

Right. Let's get back to the competition, then.

One of you is going to have to leave the game shortly,

but there's still one last chance for any of you to take the lead.

Jon, you can easily catch up.

All of you are now going to be asked the same question.

Two members of the Think Tank will then tell you the answer

they gave before the show and their reasons for it.

Only one of them will have the right answer though.

If you side with the correct person, you'll add £200 to your prize fund.

Five questions remain before we do have to say goodbye to one of you.

So choose your answers carefully.

And here is the first question.

Answers here from Arminel and Jackie. Arminel?

I think it was Denmark and the reason I think it was Denmark,

I have been to Copenhagen,

lovely, flat city where you can cycle everywhere

and cycling definitely gives you a feeling of wellbeing

and they have great TV because of all the TV that's come our way.

So I think it's Denmark. I'd like to live there.

Jackie?

I don't think it's Denmark. I think it's Sweden.

I mean, when you add everything together,

they've got the meatballs, the flat-pack furniture,

they birch themselves,

they go out in a nice, cold water and fresh air.

So I think the answer's Sweden.

All right. Arminel says it's Denmark.

Jackie's plumped for Sweden.

What do you think, contestants?

Please lock in your answers.

Where have you gone with this one?

All three of you say Denmark.

Let's see if you're right.

Denmark, it is. Well done.

Sweden came tenth.

Meatballs and flat-pack furniture,

I'm not sure they're ingredients for the happiest of lives.

-Well, it depends.

-And birching yourself on top of it.

Whatever turns you on, you know.

THEY LAUGH

And the UK, do you know where the UK came?

67th?

-23rd. KEN:

-Oh, really?

All right. So £200 to each of you and here's question number two.

Jordan and Anisha are going to take this one on. Jordan?

Well, when I was a little girl, this was the name I always wanted

to call my son cos it's the name from my favourite musical.

But then, suddenly, everybody started having babies

and calling them this name.

And I know I read that it was one of the most popular names.

Whether it was 2014, I'm not sure.

But I believe it was Oliver.

Oliver. OK. Anisha?

So I went with George, because I think that's the year

that the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William

had their baby boy, George.

So I think everybody wanted to have a prince,

so they called him George, basically.

OK. Jordan says it's Oliver.

Anisha's gone with George.

Which name do you want to pick?

Lock in your answers.

What have you come up with?

Gill and Declan say Oliver.

Jon says it's George.

Which name is correct?

It's Oliver. Well done.

Jack, Harry, Jacob and Charlie made up the rest of the top five.

-Charlie, yeah.

-George was in fact seventh.

-Oh, OK.

So £200 to Gill and Declan.

And here is question number three.

Jackie and Ken are going to take this one on. Jackie?

I know the answer to this,

definitely. It's Thailand.

And the reason I know the answer to this is

I've been to Thailand eight times,

I've spent extensive time travelling round

and the King of Thailand has reigned longer than our monarch.

He's very, very revered.

It's definitely Thailand.

Ken?

Well, because of my charity work,

I've met the Queen Elizabeth a few times,

a lovely, lovely lady.

And the answer for me is the UK.

OK. Jackie says it's Thailand.

Ken has gone for the UK.

What do you think, contestants?

Lock in your answers.

And what have you come up with?

Gill's gone for UK, so has Jon.

Declan has chosen Thailand.

Let's see who is right.

Thailand was the answer.

So the King of Thailand came to the throne in 1946.

Do you know what his proper name is?

No, I can't pronounce it.

Bhumibol Adulyadej.

Or shorter, Rama. King Rama IX.

That's easier for you to say, Bill.

But good answer. Well done.

Well done to Declan. £200 for you.

OK. Moving on to our next question.

Arminel and Peter serving this one up. Arminel?

I think it's soup because a tureen is a very big bowl

and soup belongs in a very big bowl.

I toyed with the idea of vegetables.

But decided a soup tureen, words kind of go together.

So soup is my answer.

Peter?

I went for rice because it's, like, a really good shape

to scoop the rice out and to sort of, like,

share it amongst friends and family.

OK. Arminel says it's for soup.

Peter has gone with rice.

What do you want to serve up as your answer?

Lock it in, please.

Gill's gone with soup. So has Jon.

Declan's on his own again with rice.

Who's right?

Soup, it is.

It's a large, covered dish

whose name is taken from the Latin word for earth.

Arminel, you got that one right.

What soup would you serve up in a tureen?

Well, actually, I'm so lazy I serve it straight from the saucepan. So...

THEY LAUGH

All right. Gill and Jon, well done.

£200 to you.

And here's our final question in this round.

Cleve and Mark answering this one. Cleve?

Well, I know after the conversion of Wembley and its capacity

for big events and plans,

there were other stadia that were used in the meantime

the renovation was taking place.

I think the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, in Wales,

is the stadium with that large capacity.

So I went for the Millennium Stadium.

Mark?

I went for Twickenham.

The Millennium Stadium is a wonderful stadium.

It's got a great atmosphere.

Apart from anything else,

the Welsh are the best singers in the UK, if not the world as well.

The thing about the Millennium Stadium

is that it's actually quite close to the pitch.

So I think, therefore, the circumference, the area,

is a little bit tighter, a little bit smaller.

Twickenham is a bit bigger,

which I think reflects in the capacity as well.

So I think Twickenham, the English rugby stadium,

just pips it.

Cleve is saying the Millennium Stadium.

Mark is going with Twickenham.

What do you think, contestants?

Where have you gone with this?

Gill and Declan say it's the Millennium Stadium.

Jon says it's Twickenham.

Who's right?

It is Twickenham, in fact.

Wembley's capacity is 90,000.

Twickenham takes 82,000.

And the Millennium Stadium takes just 74,500.

Well done to you, Jon. £200 to you.

That brings us to the end of the round

and indeed the main game.

So let's take a look at your totals, shall we?

In the lead is Gill with £1,600, followed by Declan with £1,400,

and just behind him, with £1,200 is Jon.

So we have to say goodbye to you, Jon.

But a very well fought game and it was pretty close

up to the last couple of answers.

-Thank you, Bill.

-I hope you've enjoyed it.

-Thank you, guys.

-ALL:

-Thank you.

Gill and Declan, well done.

You two will now compete, to take home the money you've earned,

in our final.

So, Gill, if you were to win,

how would you spend your prize, do you think?

I would donate it to Battersea,

we're raising money for a new veterinary hospital.

-That's where you do volunteer work, isn't it?

-I volunteer there, yeah.

-Dogs and cats, you've got a cat.

-I've got a cat, yeah.

-Dogs you like as well?

-Love dogs too.

-You even go on holiday with them?

-Yes, that's true.

-Tell us what you did.

-I went...

For my 50th birthday, I went to the Arctic Circle

to see the northern lights, which weren't really out very much,

but actually the best part of the trip was dog sledding.

-Jackie, you've got a couple of dogs.

-I have, yes.

-Are they big enough to go sledding?

-Absolutely not.

They're Lhasa apsos. So they're not very big dogs.

And they wouldn't take you sledging

because they want to sit on it and be carried round.

OK. Well, very generous of you.

Let's see how you get on.

Declan, what would you do with your winnings?

Well, as I said, I recently got married,

so the next logical step is to buy a house.

So that would be a long way towards a deposit for that.

OK. Well, good luck to you both.

The final is a general knowledge battle.

I'm going to ask you five questions each.

Whoever gives the most correct answers takes home the money

they've built up so far.

You're not on your own though,

the Think Tankers are still here to help you if they can.

You can pick someone to consult with before you answer the questions.

Each member, though, can only be picked once.

The difference in the final, compared to the rest of the show,

is that they haven't seen any of these questions before either.

So they know as little about them as you do. OK? Let's play the final.

Gill, you built the most money in the main game,

so the final starts with you. Here's your first question.

You work in a bookshop, of course. Who would you like to help you here?

Mark, please.

OK. I think I know what this is.

-Gill, do you?

-I don't.

I'm thinking it might be the one in Wales

but I can't think what it's called.

And I'm not sure if Bill Clinton has ever been there,

so, no, I don't know.

I think he has. Is it the Hay Festival?

-Hay Festival.

-I think the Hay Festival.

Yeah, I'm going to go with the Hay Festival.

-Hay?

-Yep.

-OK.

Which literary festival

did Bill Clinton once describe as the "Woodstock of the mind"?

You're saying it's the Hay Festival.

Let's see if you've chosen correctly.

The Hay Festival, it is. Well done.

Takes place over ten days every year in May and June in Hay-on-Wye.

You're off the mark then, Gill.

Declan, here is your first question.

Who could help you here?

I'm going to ask Arminel to help me on this one.

Arminel, our chemistry teacher.

Do you have any ideas?

We're going to have to bat this back and forth.

-No. Nothing that automatically jumps out at me.

-Right. OK.

The breastbone, so where is the breastbone?

The breastbone's down here.

So I'll have to think about what it's not,

it's not the clavicle, which is up here.

Is it the sternum?

That sounds as though it should be at the back, though.

You said sternum there and you said back. Um... No.

Yeah, sternum, I don't know, stern refers to the back,

but I can't think of anything else.

I think I'm going to go with sternum.

-It rings a vague bell.

-Well, it's in the body.

It's definitely that.

-Sternum?

-Mm.

-OK.

In human anatomy, what is the

technical term for the breastbone?

You're saying sternum. Let's see if you're right.

You are indeed.

Glad I wasn't misled by thinking stern meant back.

Well, the stern is the back of a boat, yes.

But the sternum gives support to the collarbone and the ribs.

Oh, OK.

Well done, Declan. 1-1.

Gill, your second question.

Sport question.

Who could help you here?

I hope somebody can cos I don't have a clue,

so I'm going to ask Cleve.

I do think I know this.

He does have a record amount of appearances as a goalkeeper

and as a goalkeeping captain.

And has only just recently been replaced

by Manchester United's goalkeeper.

-So I do believe that country is Spain.

-Thank you.

It will be a lot better than any guess of mine,

so I'm going to go with Spain.

Spain's your answer.

The goalkeeper Iker Casillas

has made more than 150 international appearances for which team?

You're saying it's Spain.

Let's see if you have the right country.

-Spain is correct, well done.

-Thank you!

He also played more than 500 matches for Real Madrid

and was replaced in the Spanish goal by, as you mentioned, David De Gea.

OK. Well done, Gill. 2-1 to you.

Declan, we come to you.

Pet question. Who would you like to choose?

The obvious choice would be Jackie.

Dog woman.

Um...

Have you got an idea on this?

There are two of these who live on my street

and they're quite noisy little dogs.

-They're schnauzer.

-Yeah, they are. I think they come in three sizes.

Miniature and the big ones are quite big. I thought schnauzer.

That's what came to mind.

-OK.

-We'll go with schnauzer.

Which breed of wire-haired dog

takes its name from the German for snout or muzzle?

You're saying schnauzer. Let's see if you're right.

You are indeed. Schnauzer.

There are three types, Jackie, indeed - miniature,

standard and giant.

I bet you were thinking to yourself,

-"I should have had that question," Gill.

-Yeah, I was.

We could have swapped.

2-2, then. You're both doing very well so far.

Gill, here's your third question.

History question.

Who would you like to choose?

Half of the Think Tank left to help you.

I'd like to ask Ken, please.

Our retired holiday rep, Ken.

Well, I know it was drawn up in 1215,

cos I thought quarter of an hour past lunchtime.

And of course, I live near Runnymede where it was drawn up.

Um... What are your views on it? What do you think?

I've got the name Harold is coming into my head now,

but probably for no reason. So...

Do you want to take a chance on yourself, what you think?

I can't be all that helpful.

I would have gone for, say, Richard II or something.

Right, I'm going to say Richard II.

Richard II is your answer.

The Magna Carta, a document drawn up during the reign

of which English king? You're saying Richard II.

Let's see if you've chosen correctly.

-King John.

-Of course, of course, of course.

It was the charter of civil liberties which King John

was forced to ratify in 1215.

So...

A miss for you there, Gill.

Declan, you can take the lead with this, your third question.

Who could help you here?

-I'm going to confer with Peter.

-Peter.

Oh, gosh. I've never read it.

I remember buying it when I was a wee lad

but I found it too hard to read.

Have you read it at all?

So you do know it?

I'll leave it with you.

-That, Bill, is John Steinbeck.

-John Steinbeck.

East Of Eden and Of Mice And Men

are books by which author? You said John Steinbeck, Declan.

Let's see if you're right.

That's the right answer indeed. Well done.

East Of Eden takes its name from the Old Testament.

And Of Mice And Men is a poem by Robert Burns.

OK. Well done. 3-2 to you, Declan.

Gill, we come to you. You can equalise with this one.

Jordan or Anisha can help you here.

Anisha.

Are you sure?

THEY CHUCKLE

It's either Andy Murray or David Beckham.

That's all I've got when it comes to sports people.

I have no idea. What does PFA mean?

-Professional Football Association.

-There we go.

Have you got any ideas at all?

Not really, no.

I know they won the FA Cup or the Championship or something this year

and did very well.

Um... Right. I've got a footballer's name in my head.

And apologies to everyone for whom this is just obvious

and it's probably not this guy but I'm going to say Jamie Vardy.

-Jamie Vardy.

-I don't know why his name's come into my head.

-Yeah.

-Is that your answer?

He's probably never played for Leicester, that's my answer.

-Jamie Vardy.

-Mm-hm.

In 2016, which Leicester City player

was voted the PFA Footballer Of The Year?

You're saying it's Jamie Vardy. Let's see if you're right.

Riyad Mahrez was the answer.

-Jamie Vardy does play for Leicester and he's very good.

-Oh, well.

And that was a very, very well-educated guess,

-it just wasn't quite right for you there.

-OK.

But Riyad Mahrez scored 17 goals from midfield

in the 2015 to 2016 season.

So he was pretty special.

Leicester City did win the Premier League championship.

-I knew that.

-So you know more than you think.

-Yeah, just not that.

-OK.

So, close, Gill, but nothing for you there, I'm afraid.

Declan, this is your fourth question.

If you get this one right, you will be today's winner. OK?

Who's left to help you here? Just Jordan.

Well, Declan, do you eat many linings of animals' stomachs?

Not many that I'm aware of.

Have you got any thoughts on what it might be?

-Tripe.

-Tripe's what came into my head.

We actually had a discussion about tripe the other night, randomly.

And that's the answer that came into my head.

I'll say tripe.

Tripe is your answer.

Which type of food made from animals' stomach linings has

varieties called blanket and honeycomb?

You're saying tripe.

If you are right, you will be today's winner, Declan. OK?

Let's see if you are.

Tripe is the answer. Congratulations, Declan.

-You are today's winner.

-Well done.

-Well done.

Ah, Gill, you did so very well in the early rounds

and I knew you were thinking, "Oh, if only I'd had that question."

-It happened to you a couple of times.

-Yeah.

-And you were so close

with that Leicester City answer. It's who you choose to help you

and sometimes it's just the bounce of the ball with the question.

-So I'm sorry you're not taking anything home.

-It's fine.

But you've been a really excellent competitor.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you. Thank you.

-Declan, as our winner,

you're definitely taking home your prize of £1,400.

Shortly you will have the chance to add an extra £1,000

to your winnings. First, though, shall we take a moment

to congratulate the Think Tanker who gave the most correct answers

during the show? It was...

..Arminel.

-THEY CHEER

-Thank you.

Sometimes she's right even though she doesn't think she is

-with the sternum answer.

-Yes, I know.

It was just that stern in the back of the boat that was so confusing.

Well, never mind. You're top of the class again. So, well done.

Declan, one last chance then for you to seriously boost your prize as

you face our Question: Impossible.

Well done, Declan.

Pretty smooth sailing through the final for you there.

A very confident performance.

This is the toughest question of the whole show coming up now though.

No-one in the Think Tank could get it right earlier,

so if you can achieve what none of them could

-and give us a correct answer, that extra £1,000 will be yours.

-OK.

Let's take a look at the Question: Impossible.

Have a think about it and we'll give you a little bit of help.

We're going to take a look at the wrong answers

that the Think Tank gave earlier and this will rule some things out.

So here's what they said.

Spice Girls, The Beatles,

Michael Jackson, Grease and Adele.

That is what it is not.

So, what do you think the answer could be?

Right.

It's going to be someone, I'm guessing, who's been around

a bit longer than Adele.

I don't think it's Queen.

I don't think they really had that many number-one hits.

I'm going to say...

..Britney Spears.

-Britney Spears?

-Yes.

-OK.

Which was the first musical act

to have 10 UK number-one hit singles?

You're currently on £1,400. That's guaranteed.

If you get this answer right,

you'll have an extra £1,000,

taking you to £2,400.

Britney Spears is your answer.

Let's see if you're right.

Elvis Presley.

-Going back, back...

-Way back.

..way back for that one.

In fact, he's had 21 UK number-one hit singles.

So a very, very, very successful musician, obviously.

So that wasn't it, I'm afraid, Declan.

You didn't conquer the Question: Impossible.

You're still leaving with £1,400.

You wanted to buy a house, so it helps towards the deposit.

-Mm-hm.

-Well done for playing so well.

Thanks very much for being with us today.

-Thank you very much.

-And thanks for watching.

Do join us next time when three more contestants will see whether they

can bank on the Think Tank.

Until then, it's goodbye from them...

-ALL:

-Goodbye.

..and it's goodbye from me - bye-bye.
