0:01:00 > 0:01:02- What was your favourite subject at school, Dick?- It had to be drama.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- Yeah?- Cos I just liked playing the fool, basically.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06- Least favourite subject?- Maths.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- Hated anything where you had to do anything academic.- Right.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11- And here I am. - Yes! On Top Class.

0:01:26 > 0:01:30- Lindsey, welcome to the show.- Hi. - You're the captain of the Turkeys.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- Yes.- We know what you were like at school, as well,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- cos we've got a photo of you. - Oh, no, what have you got?
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Ah, look at you!
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- Ricky, welcome to the show.- Thanks. - Were you good at school?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Yeah, I was kind of cheeky and naughty,
0:01:44 > 0:01:48but in enough of an endearing way that I could get away with it.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- Right. Is that what your plan is with me?- Yeah.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52It won't work with me, Ricky.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54But I've drawn you this picture of a present.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Did you? Aw! That is quite good, actually, Ricky.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Ricky, we know what you were like at school as well, cos,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01guess what, Ricky?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Look at you! Wee sweetie! Hope you enjoy the show.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Please welcome Turkeys!
0:02:09 > 0:02:11APPLAUSE
0:02:13 > 0:02:18And competing against them are Sprouts. Nick, very festive-looking.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19I know.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Thanks for making an enormous amount of effort for the show,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26and Nick, we've seen photographs, obviously.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29We don't have one of you, though, Nick, it's OK.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- No, we do, actually, so let's see the photograph of Nick.- Oh!
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Stacy, captain of the Sprouts. - Hello.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Thank you! At least, I think.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- We know you from the Dumping Ground, obviously.- Yeah.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44How do you think your character, and indeed, the dumping ground,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46would react to something like this?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- I think they'd love it! - Yeah, I think they would, as well.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Absolutely. They'd rally together. - Now, er...
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Yeah, we've got a photograph of you, Stacy,
0:02:53 > 0:02:54let's just get this over with.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- You win!- Thank you!- That's the most adorable thing I've ever seen.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Thank you.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Ben.- Yes? - I'm enjoying your armbands.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Well, the ridiculous thing is I just came dressed like this anyway.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- Did you?- I haven't even added anything to my outfit.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09This is just me.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- And the halo. - And the halo. Photograph, please.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- Aw, look at you! - That is...
0:03:16 > 0:03:20That predates Harry Potter, as well, so I was like the original.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Richard.- Yeah.- I mean, you're adorable just now, Richard.- OK.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Let's see what you looked like at school.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31- Look at that wee face! - I needed a haircut, but aww!
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Well, welcome to the show, Richard.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Please give them a round of applause. It's Sprouts!
0:03:35 > 0:03:37APPLAUSE
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Let's kick straight off with round one.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Here's your first control question.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45The subject is...
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Under which British ruler was the celebration of Christmas
0:03:51 > 0:03:55restricted in 1657?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- Ben.- Oliver Cromwell. - Correct answer, Ben.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00You've got a point, you've got control of the game. Well done.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02APPLAUSE
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Here are the rest of your questions on History.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10In this game, you'll see four key events in history on the screen,
0:04:10 > 0:04:12and you must put them in the order they occurred.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Richard, are you OK? You're looking slightly confused.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30I'm just pretending to sound like I know what I'm talking about.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- All right, so William the Conqueror was 1066.- Yep.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Sir Isaac Newton was born in the 1600s.- Of course!- Tom Smith...
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Must have been a Victorian invention, the Christmas cracker,
0:04:39 > 0:04:44and the football truce was the first year of World War I, so 1914.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- So, tell me, which one came first? Which is the earliest event?- C?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51You're saying William the Conqueror being crowned king
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- on Christmas Day, that's first. What came second?- D?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Sir Isaac Newton being born on Christmas Day.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- What came third?- A?
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Tom Smith inventing the Christmas cracker. And what came last?
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- B.- The football match during the Christmas truce of World War I.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10There are your answers. Let's see how many you got right.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17All of them right! You've got 5 points, Sprouts!
0:05:17 > 0:05:19APPLAUSE Well done!
0:05:19 > 0:05:21So, at the end of that round, Sprouts have 5 points,
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Turkeys, nothing yet. There's loads of time, though.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Give them both a huge round of applause, well done.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28APPLAUSE
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Let's move on to the next subject, and it is...
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Oh, great(!)
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Here is your control question.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42In the sentence, "Adam ate all of his selection box before
0:05:42 > 0:05:46"he ate his Christmas dinner," which word is the conjunction?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Dom.- Before. - Are you sure?- Why?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Because a conjunction is something that joins two
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- possible sentences up together. - Is it?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58You've given me more than I asked for, and it is the right answer.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Well done, Dom. You've got a point, and you've got control of the game.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03APPLAUSE
0:06:03 > 0:06:08Here are the rest of your questions, on the subject of Spelling.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12First word - spell the word "sleigh".
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Oh, man. - Who's took me pen?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Spell the word "sleigh". Do you need a pen?- Really?- Yeah.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- But it breaks the rules. - Stuff the rules!
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Lindsey, do you have an answer for me?
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Absolutely.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Looks wrong.- Correct answer. Well done, Lindsey.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34You've got a point, well done. APPLAUSE
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Spell "Hogmanay".
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- Oh!- I'm Scottish, I should know this.- Are you Scottish?- Yeah.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- What does it mean? - It's New Year's Eve.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Is it?- In Scotland. - Oh, I didn't know that.- Yes.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47I'm just going to go for it, with confidence.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Tell you what, Lindsey, you just go for it.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57So far, so good.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Er... Oh.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59A.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Correct answer, Lindsey.- Sweet! - Well done. Well done.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- APPLAUSE - Guessed it. Guessed it, guys.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Can you spell the word "poinsettia?"
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- Yes! I did a project on this in Year Five.- What does this mean?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- A poinsettia. It's a type of Christmas flower.- Ah, one of those.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Sometimes, when you go to someone's house, and you can think of
0:07:26 > 0:07:27no other gift, you give them a...
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Jelly. - ..poinsettia.- Oh.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- 10.- Buy them in a petrol station for your mum and dad at Christmas.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33I wouldn't, obviously.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I take a lot of time thinking of Christmas presents
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- for my mum and dad...- Eight, nine, ten. I think it's that. Er, P.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Look at her face!
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- So formidable.- N.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48E.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50T.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51T.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Right answer, Lindsey, well done. - Yes!- Brilliantly done.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01APPLAUSE Finally, spell the word
0:08:01 > 0:08:03"frankincense."
0:08:03 > 0:08:04Lindsey's got all of them right so far,
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- without any help from any of us. - She's done well.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- Hang on a minute, wait, wait. Say the word again.- Frankincense.- Yeah.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- "Kin", "kin", she said "kin".- F.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Didn't she? She definitely said "kin".
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- Concentrate, Lindsey.- A.- Yes.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- SOFTLY:- I.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- If you whisper it, we can still hear it.- I.- I.- I.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Right answer. You got 5 points, Turkeys!
0:08:39 > 0:08:41APPLAUSE
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Well done. An outstanding team performance there.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47So, at the end of that round... Oh, magic!
0:08:47 > 0:08:50The scores are tied - both teams have 5 points.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Give them a round of applause. APPLAUSE
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Well done, Lindsey. OK, the next subject is...
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Here is your control question. Buzz in if you think you know the answer.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Snow is which type of weather phenomena
0:09:09 > 0:09:12beginning with the letter P?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- Ben.- Precipitation?
0:09:14 > 0:09:15I'm really sorry.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18It is the right answer! That's a point to you, Sprouts! Well done.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21APPLAUSE Here are the rest of your questions
0:09:21 > 0:09:24on the subject of Conductors.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27This game is all to do with identifying what is
0:09:27 > 0:09:30a conductor and what is an insulator.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31Here's the first question.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36Is a sugar candy cane a good example of an electrical conductor
0:09:36 > 0:09:38or an insulator?
0:09:38 > 0:09:39- Is it an insulator? - I don't think it's...
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I think it's an insulator, but I'm a bit worried,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44cos I've seen a connection before, and you put a lemon in the middle.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45What, and the thing goes through?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- But they're basically all sugar, so...- Yeah.- Sugar isn't...
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- So it's an insulator? - Yeah, yeah, that's right.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Stacy, I need the answer from you.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Is it an insulator?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57You're saying insulator. Let's see if that's right.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59It is right. Well done.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Second item - how about an iron tree decoration?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Is that an electrical conductor or an insulator?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- LAUGHTER - What's your tree made out of?
0:10:07 > 0:10:08An iron tree...
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Well, maybe it's like a Weeping Angel from Doctor Who,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14made out of iron instead of a statue.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I don't know, Ben, I don't need these questions from you!
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Let me think back to all my iron tree decorations that I've had...
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- The supplementary questions they're asking over there! Stacy?- Conductor?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Conductor. Let's see if that's right.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- It is right.- Yay!- Yes!
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Is a steel star cookie cutter a good example of an electrical
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- conductor or an insulator?- Steel?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Steel is iron with carbon in it, so, yeah, it is.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- I'm happy to go with Nick. - I'm happy with that.- Yeah?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- Stacy?- Conductor.- Conductor. Let's see if that's right.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Science, Nick, well done.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Finally, is a lump of coal a good example of an electrical
0:10:46 > 0:10:48conductor or an insulator?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- Insulator.- Insulator. - Probably an insulator.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- I don't think it would conduct. - Well, it's flammable...
0:10:52 > 0:10:54It can set on fire, but...
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- No, that doesn't mean it can conduct. It's an insulator.- Yeah.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58He's really clever! I like having you on our team.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01He's very calm about it, isn't he? Stacy, answer?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I'm going to go with Nick - an insulator.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06An insulator. Let's see if that's right.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10It is right, well done. You got 5 points, Sprouts! Well done.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12APPLAUSE
0:11:12 > 0:11:14So, at the end of that round, Sprouts have 10 points,
0:11:14 > 0:11:18and Turkeys have 5 points. Give them a huge round of applause.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Beautiful. APPLAUSE
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Usually, on Top Class, at this point in the show,
0:11:25 > 0:11:26we have a teachers round, but we can't do that on
0:11:26 > 0:11:30a Christmas special, not with celebrities, can we? Can we?
0:11:30 > 0:11:35Oh, yes, we can! It's time to Test The Teacher.
0:11:35 > 0:11:41Turkeys - we've got your old primary school teaching assistant, Ricky.
0:11:41 > 0:11:47- Yes, it's the woman you know as Mrs B.- Mrs Balezac?- Yes!- No way!
0:11:47 > 0:11:50She's coming on the show in a minute to win some points for you.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53I'm totally excited!
0:11:53 > 0:11:57- When did you last see her?- Like, ages... Maybe my sister's wedding.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- That was, like, years ago. - Years ago.- Yeah.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Do you think Mrs B - because these are pop culture questions -
0:12:04 > 0:12:05is going to do well?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- I think she's going to smash it out the park.- Do you?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Whoosh!
0:12:09 > 0:12:10It's time to Test The Teacher.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Please welcome on - I'm going to call her by her name you call her -
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Mrs B! APPLAUSE
0:12:22 > 0:12:27- Welcome.- Thank you.- Mrs B, this is a total surprise for Ricky.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- He didn't know you were coming on the show.- I'm in shock!
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Firstly, tell me - what was he like at school?
0:12:33 > 0:12:34A naughty boy! No, he wasn't really.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39He was really funny, very arty, made all the teachers laugh.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- Yeah?- And everybody loved him. - Did they?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44I've got that money for you, by the way. I'll pass that over.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Now, Mrs B, you're here to answer questions to earn some points
0:12:47 > 0:12:50for the Turkeys, on kind of popular culture and stuff.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- How down with the kids are you? - I'm not.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- I'm in Year Three now, so I'm not really... Sorry.- You're good.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57You're good. I believe in you.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Well, do you know what, Mrs B? Just do your best. You have 60 seconds.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Hold the phone, hold the phone, Mrs B!
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Come on, you're not looking Christmassy enough.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- And you are a Turkey now, so get that on your head.- There we go.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- Yes!- That's better.- Well...
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- Has that given me a brain now?- Yes!
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Yes, you have 60 seconds on the clock to answer as many
0:13:14 > 0:13:16questions as you can, starting now.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Which Dr Seuss character stole Christmas?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Erm, the skinny one. Oh, I can't remember his name. Erm...
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- Do you want to pass?- Yeah, pass. - The Grinch.- The Grinch!
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Which English comedian plays the part of Professor Brainstorm
