First up, Turkeys. Dick and Dom, welcome to Top Class. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
Thank you very much, very exciting to be here, | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |

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

Second question. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |

It's not really a multiple choice situation. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
I am going to choose Greenland. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
-You're saying Greenland? -I sure am. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
Do you know what? I can accept that. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |

We're going to go on a tour of the world now, and check in on some | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |

Along the way, he's noticed some countries' flags | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
aren't quite correct. Here's your first flag. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
What colour is missing from the flag of Madagascar? | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
-I think it... -I feel like blue, but... -I'm leaning on blue, yeah. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:01 | |
Shall we just go for it? | 0:24:01 | 0:24:02 | |
Unless anyone feels really strongly about another colour. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:05 | |
