0:00:170:00:18

But who will be Top Class?

0:00:180:00:21

Hello, and welcome to the Top Class Christmas special,

0:00:370:00:41

the search for CBBC's smartest celebrities.

0:00:410:00:44

Let's meet our teams.

0:00:440:00:46

First up, Turkeys. Dick and Dom, welcome to Top Class.

0:00:460:00:50

Thank you very much, very exciting to be here,

0:00:500:00:52

and Merry Christmas to you.

0:00:520:00:53

-Merry Christmas.

-Merry Christmas to you, as well.

-Thank you.

0:00:530:00:56

-Have you brought me a present?

-No.

-Well, we've got a turkey.

0:00:560:00:58

You've got a turkey.

0:00:580:01:00

-What was your favourite subject at school, Dick?

-It had to be drama.

0:01:000:01:02

-Yeah?

-Cos I just liked playing the fool, basically.

0:01:020:01:04

-Least favourite subject?

-Maths.

0:01:040:01:06

-Hated anything where you had to do anything academic.

-Right.

0:01:060:01:09

-And here I am.

-Yes! On Top Class.

0:01:090:01:11

Dom, I know what you were like at school,

0:01:110:01:12

because we've got a photograph of you.

0:01:120:01:14

Have you? What?

0:01:140:01:17

-What are you doing, Dom?

-Little magic show!

0:01:170:01:20

-Welcome to the show. It's lovely to have you here.

-Happy Christmas.

0:01:200:01:23

-Happy Christmas.

-Happy Christmas, everybody!

-Happy Christmas!

0:01:230:01:26

-Lindsey, welcome to the show.

-Hi.

-You're the captain of the Turkeys.

0:01:260:01:30

-Yes.

-We know what you were like at school, as well,

0:01:300:01:32

-cos we've got a photo of you.

-Oh, no, what have you got?

0:01:320:01:35

Ah, look at you!

0:01:350:01:38

-Ricky, welcome to the show.

-Thanks.

-Were you good at school?

0:01:380:01:42

Yeah, I was kind of cheeky and naughty,

0:01:420:01:44

but in enough of an endearing way that I could get away with it.

0:01:440:01:48

-Right. Is that what your plan is with me?

-Yeah.

0:01:480:01:50

It won't work with me, Ricky.

0:01:500:01:52

But I've drawn you this picture of a present.

0:01:520:01:54

Did you? Aw! That is quite good, actually, Ricky.

0:01:540:01:57

Ricky, we know what you were like at school as well, cos,

0:01:570:01:59

guess what, Ricky?

0:01:590:02:01

Look at you! Wee sweetie! Hope you enjoy the show.

0:02:030:02:05

Please welcome Turkeys!

0:02:050:02:09

APPLAUSE

0:02:090:02:11

And competing against them are Sprouts. Nick, very festive-looking.

0:02:130:02:18

I know.

0:02:180:02:19

Thanks for making an enormous amount of effort for the show,

0:02:190:02:23

and Nick, we've seen photographs, obviously.

0:02:230:02:26

We don't have one of you, though, Nick, it's OK.

0:02:260:02:29

-No, we do, actually, so let's see the photograph of Nick.

-Oh!

0:02:290:02:31

-Stacy, captain of the Sprouts.

-Hello.

0:02:330:02:36

Thank you! At least, I think.

0:02:360:02:38

-We know you from the Dumping Ground, obviously.

-Yeah.

0:02:380:02:42

How do you think your character, and indeed, the dumping ground,

0:02:420:02:44

would react to something like this?

0:02:440:02:46

-I think they'd love it!

-Yeah, I think they would, as well.

0:02:460:02:48

-Absolutely. They'd rally together.

-Now, er...

0:02:480:02:51

Yeah, we've got a photograph of you, Stacy,

0:02:510:02:53

let's just get this over with.

0:02:530:02:54

-You win!

-Thank you!

-That's the most adorable thing I've ever seen.

0:02:560:02:59

Thank you.

0:02:590:03:00

-Ben.

-Yes?

-I'm enjoying your armbands.

0:03:000:03:03

Well, the ridiculous thing is I just came dressed like this anyway.

0:03:030:03:06

-Did you?

-I haven't even added anything to my outfit.

0:03:060:03:08

This is just me.

0:03:080:03:09

-And the halo.

-And the halo. Photograph, please.

0:03:090:03:12

-Aw, look at you!

-That is...

0:03:140:03:16

That predates Harry Potter, as well, so I was like the original.

0:03:160:03:20

-Richard.

-Yeah.

-I mean, you're adorable just now, Richard.

-OK.

0:03:210:03:24

Let's see what you looked like at school.

0:03:240:03:26

-Look at that wee face!

-I needed a haircut, but aww!

0:03:270:03:31

Well, welcome to the show, Richard.

0:03:310:03:32

Please give them a round of applause. It's Sprouts!

0:03:320:03:35

APPLAUSE

0:03:350:03:37

Let's kick straight off with round one.

0:03:380:03:41

Here's your first control question.

0:03:410:03:43

The subject is...

0:03:430:03:45

Under which British ruler was the celebration of Christmas

0:03:480:03:51

restricted in 1657?

0:03:510:03:55

-Ben.

-Oliver Cromwell.

-Correct answer, Ben.

0:03:550:03:57

You've got a point, you've got control of the game. Well done.

0:03:570:04:00

APPLAUSE

0:04:000:04:02

Here are the rest of your questions on History.

0:04:020:04:06

In this game, you'll see four key events in history on the screen,

0:04:060:04:10

and you must put them in the order they occurred.

0:04:100:04:12

Richard, are you OK? You're looking slightly confused.

0:04:250:04:28

I'm just pretending to sound like I know what I'm talking about.

0:04:280:04:30

-All right, so William the Conqueror was 1066.

-Yep.

0:04:300:04:33

-Sir Isaac Newton was born in the 1600s.

-Of course!

-Tom Smith...

0:04:330:04:36

Must have been a Victorian invention, the Christmas cracker,

0:04:360:04:39

and the football truce was the first year of World War I, so 1914.

0:04:390:04:44

-So, tell me, which one came first? Which is the earliest event?

-C?

0:04:440:04:48

You're saying William the Conqueror being crowned king

0:04:480:04:51

-on Christmas Day, that's first. What came second?

-D?

0:04:510:04:54

Sir Isaac Newton being born on Christmas Day.

0:04:540:04:56

-What came third?

-A?

0:04:560:04:58

Tom Smith inventing the Christmas cracker. And what came last?

0:04:580:05:02

-B.

-The football match during the Christmas truce of World War I.

0:05:020:05:06

There are your answers. Let's see how many you got right.

0:05:060:05:10

All of them right! You've got 5 points, Sprouts!

0:05:140:05:17

APPLAUSE Well done!

0:05:170:05:19

So, at the end of that round, Sprouts have 5 points,

0:05:190:05:21

Turkeys, nothing yet. There's loads of time, though.

0:05:210:05:23

Give them both a huge round of applause, well done.

0:05:230:05:26

APPLAUSE

0:05:260:05:28

Let's move on to the next subject, and it is...

0:05:280:05:31

Oh, great(!)

0:05:340:05:35

Here is your control question.

0:05:350:05:37

In the sentence, "Adam ate all of his selection box before

0:05:370:05:42

"he ate his Christmas dinner," which word is the conjunction?

0:05:420:05:46

-Dom.

-Before.

-Are you sure?

-Why?

0:05:480:05:51

Because a conjunction is something that joins two

0:05:510:05:53

-possible sentences up together.

-Is it?

0:05:530:05:55

You've given me more than I asked for, and it is the right answer.

0:05:550:05:58

Well done, Dom. You've got a point, and you've got control of the game.

0:05:580:06:01

APPLAUSE

0:06:010:06:03

Here are the rest of your questions, on the subject of Spelling.

0:06:030:06:08

First word - spell the word "sleigh".

0:06:080:06:12

-Oh, man.

-Who's took me pen?

0:06:140:06:16

-Spell the word "sleigh". Do you need a pen?

-Really?

-Yeah.

0:06:160:06:18

-But it breaks the rules.

-Stuff the rules!

0:06:180:06:20

Lindsey, do you have an answer for me?

0:06:200:06:23

Absolutely.

0:06:230:06:24

-Looks wrong.

-Correct answer. Well done, Lindsey.

0:06:280:06:31

You've got a point, well done. APPLAUSE

0:06:310:06:34

Spell "Hogmanay".

0:06:350:06:38

-Oh!

-I'm Scottish, I should know this.

-Are you Scottish?

-Yeah.

0:06:380:06:41

-What does it mean?

-It's New Year's Eve.

0:06:410:06:43

-Is it?

-In Scotland.

-Oh, I didn't know that.

-Yes.

0:06:430:06:45

I'm just going to go for it, with confidence.

0:06:450:06:47

Tell you what, Lindsey, you just go for it.

0:06:470:06:49

So far, so good.

0:06:550:06:57

Er... Oh.

0:06:570:06:58

A.

0:06:580:06:59

-Correct answer, Lindsey.

-Sweet!

-Well done. Well done.

0:07:070:07:10

-APPLAUSE

-Guessed it. Guessed it, guys.

0:07:100:07:13

Can you spell the word "poinsettia?"

0:07:130:07:16

-Yes! I did a project on this in Year Five.

-What does this mean?

0:07:160:07:20

-A poinsettia. It's a type of Christmas flower.

-Ah, one of those.

0:07:200:07:23

Sometimes, when you go to someone's house, and you can think of

0:07:230:07:26

no other gift, you give them a...

0:07:260:07:27

-Jelly.

-..poinsettia.

-Oh.

0:07:270:07:29

-10.

-Buy them in a petrol station for your mum and dad at Christmas.

0:07:290:07:32

I wouldn't, obviously.

0:07:320:07:33

I take a lot of time thinking of Christmas presents

0:07:330:07:36

-for my mum and dad...

-Eight, nine, ten. I think it's that. Er, P.

0:07:360:07:38

Look at her face!

0:07:410:07:42

-So formidable.

-N.

0:07:420:07:44

E.

0:07:470:07:48

T.

0:07:480:07:50

T.

0:07:500:07:51

-Right answer, Lindsey, well done.

-Yes!

-Brilliantly done.

0:07:550:07:58

APPLAUSE Finally, spell the word

0:07:580:08:01

"frankincense."

0:08:010:08:03

Lindsey's got all of them right so far,

0:08:030:08:04

-without any help from any of us.

-She's done well.

0:08:040:08:06

-Hang on a minute, wait, wait. Say the word again.

-Frankincense.

-Yeah.

0:08:060:08:10

-"Kin", "kin", she said "kin".

-F.

0:08:100:08:12

Didn't she? She definitely said "kin".

0:08:120:08:14

-Concentrate, Lindsey.

-A.

-Yes.

0:08:140:08:16

-SOFTLY:

-I.

0:08:200:08:22

-If you whisper it, we can still hear it.

-I.

-I.

-I.

0:08:220:08:26

Right answer. You got 5 points, Turkeys!

0:08:370:08:39

APPLAUSE

0:08:390:08:41

Well done. An outstanding team performance there.

0:08:410:08:45

So, at the end of that round... Oh, magic!

0:08:450:08:47

The scores are tied - both teams have 5 points.

0:08:470:08:50

Give them a round of applause. APPLAUSE

0:08:500:08:53

Well done, Lindsey. OK, the next subject is...

0:08:540:08:58

Here is your control question. Buzz in if you think you know the answer.

0:09:020:09:06

Snow is which type of weather phenomena

0:09:060:09:09

beginning with the letter P?

0:09:090:09:12

-Ben.

-Precipitation?

0:09:120:09:14

I'm really sorry.

0:09:140:09:15

It is the right answer! That's a point to you, Sprouts! Well done.

0:09:150:09:18

APPLAUSE Here are the rest of your questions

0:09:180:09:21

on the subject of Conductors.

0:09:210:09:24

This game is all to do with identifying what is

0:09:250:09:27

a conductor and what is an insulator.

0:09:270:09:30

Here's the first question.

0:09:300:09:31

Is a sugar candy cane a good example of an electrical conductor

0:09:310:09:36

or an insulator?

0:09:360:09:38

-Is it an insulator?

-I don't think it's...

0:09:380:09:39

I think it's an insulator, but I'm a bit worried,

0:09:390:09:41

cos I've seen a connection before, and you put a lemon in the middle.

0:09:410:09:44

What, and the thing goes through?

0:09:440:09:45

-But they're basically all sugar, so...

-Yeah.

-Sugar isn't...

0:09:450:09:48

-So it's an insulator?

-Yeah, yeah, that's right.

0:09:480:09:50

Stacy, I need the answer from you.

0:09:500:09:52

Is it an insulator?

0:09:520:09:55

You're saying insulator. Let's see if that's right.

0:09:550:09:57

It is right. Well done.

0:09:570:09:59

Second item - how about an iron tree decoration?

0:09:590:10:03

Is that an electrical conductor or an insulator?

0:10:030:10:05

-LAUGHTER

-What's your tree made out of?

0:10:050:10:07

An iron tree...

0:10:070:10:08

Well, maybe it's like a Weeping Angel from Doctor Who,

0:10:080:10:11

made out of iron instead of a statue.

0:10:110:10:14

I don't know, Ben, I don't need these questions from you!

0:10:140:10:16

Let me think back to all my iron tree decorations that I've had...

0:10:160:10:19

-The supplementary questions they're asking over there! Stacy?

-Conductor?

0:10:190:10:23

Conductor. Let's see if that's right.

0:10:230:10:25

-It is right.

-Yay!

-Yes!

0:10:250:10:27

Is a steel star cookie cutter a good example of an electrical

0:10:270:10:30

-conductor or an insulator?

-Steel?

0:10:300:10:32

Steel is iron with carbon in it, so, yeah, it is.

0:10:320:10:35

-I'm happy to go with Nick.

-I'm happy with that.

-Yeah?

0:10:350:10:38

-Stacy?

-Conductor.

-Conductor. Let's see if that's right.

0:10:380:10:40

Science, Nick, well done.

0:10:410:10:43

Finally, is a lump of coal a good example of an electrical

0:10:430:10:46

conductor or an insulator?

0:10:460:10:48

-Insulator.

-Insulator.

-Probably an insulator.

0:10:480:10:50

-I don't think it would conduct.

-Well, it's flammable...

0:10:500:10:52

It can set on fire, but...

0:10:520:10:54

-No, that doesn't mean it can conduct. It's an insulator.

-Yeah.

0:10:540:10:56

He's really clever! I like having you on our team.

0:10:560:10:58

He's very calm about it, isn't he? Stacy, answer?

0:10:580:11:01

I'm going to go with Nick - an insulator.

0:11:010:11:04

An insulator. Let's see if that's right.

0:11:040:11:06

It is right, well done. You got 5 points, Sprouts! Well done.

0:11:060:11:10

APPLAUSE

0:11:100:11:12

So, at the end of that round, Sprouts have 10 points,

0:11:120:11:14

and Turkeys have 5 points. Give them a huge round of applause.

0:11:140:11:18

Beautiful. APPLAUSE

0:11:180:11:21

Usually, on Top Class, at this point in the show,

0:11:220:11:25

we have a teachers round, but we can't do that on

0:11:250:11:26

a Christmas special, not with celebrities, can we? Can we?

0:11:260:11:30

Oh, yes, we can! It's time to Test The Teacher.

0:11:300:11:35

Turkeys - we've got your old primary school teaching assistant, Ricky.

0:11:350:11:41

-Yes, it's the woman you know as Mrs B.

-Mrs Balezac?

-Yes!

-No way!

0:11:410:11:47

She's coming on the show in a minute to win some points for you.

0:11:470:11:50

I'm totally excited!

0:11:500:11:53

-When did you last see her?

-Like, ages... Maybe my sister's wedding.

0:11:530:11:57

-That was, like, years ago.

-Years ago.

-Yeah.

0:11:570:12:00

Do you think Mrs B - because these are pop culture questions -

0:12:000:12:04

is going to do well?

0:12:040:12:05

-I think she's going to smash it out the park.

-Do you?

0:12:050:12:07

Whoosh!

0:12:070:12:09

It's time to Test The Teacher.

0:12:090:12:10

Please welcome on - I'm going to call her by her name you call her -

0:12:100:12:13

Mrs B! APPLAUSE

0:12:130:12:16

-Welcome.

-Thank you.

-Mrs B, this is a total surprise for Ricky.

0:12:220:12:27

-He didn't know you were coming on the show.

-I'm in shock!

0:12:270:12:29

Firstly, tell me - what was he like at school?

0:12:290:12:33

A naughty boy! No, he wasn't really.

0:12:330:12:34

He was really funny, very arty, made all the teachers laugh.

0:12:340:12:39

-Yeah?

-And everybody loved him.

-Did they?

0:12:390:12:41

I've got that money for you, by the way. I'll pass that over.

0:12:410:12:44

Now, Mrs B, you're here to answer questions to earn some points

0:12:440:12:47

for the Turkeys, on kind of popular culture and stuff.

0:12:470:12:50

-How down with the kids are you?

-I'm not.

0:12:500:12:52

-I'm in Year Three now, so I'm not really... Sorry.

-You're good.

0:12:520:12:55

You're good. I believe in you.

0:12:550:12:57

Well, do you know what, Mrs B? Just do your best. You have 60 seconds.

0:12:570:12:59

0:21:140:21:15

What percentage has he got left to open?

0:21:170:21:22

It is right, well done. APPLAUSE

0:21:220:21:25

Second question.

0:21:250:21:27

-Equally, between 5.

At the end of that round, you got yourself 5 points, Turkeys!

0:22:440:22:48

APPLAUSE

0:23:180:23:23

It's not really a multiple choice situation.

0:23:230:23:26

I am going to choose Greenland.

0:23:260:23:28

-You're saying Greenland?

-I sure am.

0:23:280:23:31

Do you know what? I can accept that.

0:23:450:23:49

Along the way, he's noticed some countries' flags

What colour is missing from the flag of Madagascar?

0:23:550:23:58

-I think it...

-I'm leaning on blue, yeah.

0:23:580:24:01

Shall we just go for it?

0:24:010:24:02

Unless anyone feels really strongly about another colour.

0:24:020:24:05

-Mauve.

-I was thinking... Do any flags have mauve in them?

0:24:050:24:08

I was thinking green or yellow, if I'm honest.

0:24:080:24:10

-We're going to go with blue.

-Not mauve?

-Not mauve.

-Blue?

-Blue.

0:24:100:24:14

Let's see if that's right.

0:24:140:24:16

It's not right, it was green.

0:24:160:24:18

-Nick said it!

-I said green or mauve.
