0:00:09 > 0:00:11CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Hello and welcome to Debatable,
0:00:13 > 0:00:16where, today, one player must answer a series of tricky questions to
0:00:16 > 0:00:20try to walk away with the jackpot of over £2,000.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22As always, though, they're not on their own, they will have
0:00:22 > 0:00:26a panel of famous faces debating their way to the answers.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Will they help or will they hinder? As always, that's debatable.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30So, let's meet them.
0:00:31 > 0:00:36All talk today, we have broadcaster and journalist Angela Rippon,
0:00:36 > 0:00:38actress Sally Lindsay,
0:00:38 > 0:00:40and we have comedian Ed Byrne.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43APPLAUSE
0:00:44 > 0:00:46It is a fully formed, beautiful panel.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Let's meet today's contestant.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49It is Chris from Newcastle.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54- Hi.- How are you doing, Chris? - Nice to meet you. How's it going?
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Tell us a little bit about yourself.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Yeah, so, I'm from Newcastle, I came down to London to work as
0:00:59 > 0:01:01a social worker in child protection.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06And I am at university studying for a master's degree in novel writing.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- Wow.- So, what, you're actually currently writing a novel?- Yeah.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14So, it's about a Russian boy who moves to a small town in the
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Arctic Circle in 1989, during the fall of the Soviet Union.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21And so, how far are you in on this?
0:01:21 > 0:01:26- I think I've got about 20,000 words written out of hopefully 80,000. - Wow.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31Yeah, I get up in the morning, I write for an hour and then go to work.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- Wow.- So, panel, a very impressive contestant, I think you'll find.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Angela, what have you got to offer Chris today?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39He's a Geordie from Newcastle.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43My dad was from County Durham, from a little village called Cornsay.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46So, as two Geordie families together, keep it in the family,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49that's what I'm going to offer him. Family support.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50LAUGHTER
0:01:50 > 0:01:51And Sally?
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- I'm not a Geordie, but... - That's fine.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59..I'm quite good at very specific things. '80s sitcoms.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Nail that. Some pop music. Not bad.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06And some Mills & Boons, but that's it.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- So I'm quite useful, really. - LAUGHTER
0:02:08 > 0:02:11This is the point where Chris tries to disguise the fact that his
0:02:11 > 0:02:13heart is slowly sinking...
0:02:13 > 0:02:14LAUGHTER
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I can run with Mills & Boon, that's fine.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19And of course, Ed, you've a lot to offer Chris today.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Chris, listen, I know what I know, and I know what I don't know.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24And I won't pretend to know something if I don't know it.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26So, you know where you stand with me.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28OK, Chris, look, you need to pay close attention to our panel,
0:02:28 > 0:02:32you can only choose one of them at the end of the show
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- for the Final Debate. Are you ready to play?- Let's do it.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37That's the spirit. Let's play Round One.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40APPLAUSE
0:02:40 > 0:02:42OK, Chris, Round One is multiple choice.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Four possible answers, we have three questions in this round, £200
0:02:45 > 0:02:48up for grabs for each correct answer,
0:02:48 > 0:02:50a possible 600 quid for the prize pot.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Let's see if we can get you off the mark with this one.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I think I know the answer to this.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20But I'm not going to say anything and I'm going to see what you
0:03:20 > 0:03:21guys have to say.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I think this is good, it's the first question, let's test the panel.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Let's see how you are on this. Your debate starts now.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- What do you think, guys?- It won't be in the sea.- It won't be at the sea.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- It'll be inland.- I don't think the Devil's Tower is real.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Devil's Tower was the tower at the end of
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. - Was it?- Yeah.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- Where's the Skeletal Coast? - Skeleton...
0:03:41 > 0:03:44That's... Isn't that off the coast of Africa somewhere? I think.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- I think it's Death Valley. - It's got to be inland.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Do you know why I think it's Death Valley?
0:03:48 > 0:03:52I seem to remember Roy Castle, I remember him frying an egg on a lid.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- I remember that!- On Death Valley. Where it's really hot.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58So, what do we think? Are we going to go for...?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- We think it's inland, and we think it's Death Valley.- Death Valley, OK.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04So, the panel have decided to go for Death Valley.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08OK, Chris, the panel think it's Death Valley.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- Was that your first thought? - It was my first thought.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Yes, I think... I remember reading about it somewhere.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19And I think my mam and dad have been to Death Valley as well.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22And my dad said that's where the highest temperature on Earth
0:04:22 > 0:04:26was recorded. So I'm going to go with Death Valley, please.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29You're going with Death Valley, Chris.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32The highest recorded temperature on Earth, Furnace Creek,
0:04:32 > 0:04:35is in Death Valley, for £200.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40It is, well done.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- Well done.- Thanks.- Well played.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48It was recorded in Death Valley, in California, on 10th July 1913.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- The temperature was 56.7 degrees Celsius.- That's hot.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- Which is 134 degrees Fahrenheit. - Wow.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Devil's Tower, in Wyoming, is the mountain used for the alien landing...
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Good knowledge, Ed.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05..in Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters Of The Third Kind.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Chris, you're off to a flying start. £200 in the prize pot.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Here comes your next question.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Ed Byrne is smiling.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- As a 34-year-old man, I have never seen Star Wars.- What?!
0:05:40 > 0:05:45- Yeah, I don't know, so it's over to you.- Panel, your debate starts now.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Well, basically, we'll go through the scene.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50It's the first film, which was A New Hope, wasn't it?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52We can rule out Han Solo and Obi-Wan.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53He doesn't come until later.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56I'm pretty sure it starts with C-3PO on Princess Leia's
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- ship, wandering around looking for R2-D2.- Exactly.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- And he finds him with Princess Leia. - And she's just finished the film.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- She's just done her little selfie. - Then goes into...
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- So we're saying...- R2-D2. - The hologram that goes into...
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- Yeah.- That doesn't mean anything to you, Chris.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14But we know what we're talking about.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18We should have said "spoiler alert" before we started that debate.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22So, the panel believe... who are all massive Star Wars fans,
0:06:22 > 0:06:26believe it was C-3PO.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28So, was it convincing?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30It was pretty convincing.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32And you all seemed fairly certain on that,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35so I'm more than happy to go for C-3PO.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38There we go. C-3PO.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Is that the right answer? For £200.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47It is the correct answer.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Well played, Ed. Well done, panel. - So relieved.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54C-3PO is the first character to appear alongside, you were right,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Ed, R2-D2, and is the first character to speak.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01It means that it's another £200 into the prize pot,
0:07:01 > 0:07:02- you're up to £400.- Whoa!
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Here comes your next one.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Two out of two so far, let's see if you can keep it going with this.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34I did watch a little bit of the darts, and on Twitter,
0:07:34 > 0:07:38somebody tweeted about this, so I think I might know the answer.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- But again...- Phew!- You don't look too confident,
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- but I'd like to hear what you've got to say.- Oh, yeah.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47We'd absolutely like to hear what the panel make of this one.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Your debate starts now.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Chris, if this was 1983 darts, I'd be all over it, mate.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55I tell you what I'm thinking, looking at them.
0:07:55 > 0:08:01Jimi Hendrix is such a specific name to a singer, I can't think of
0:08:01 > 0:08:04too many people called Hendriks who would be called Jimmy.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06But if your family name was Hendriks in America,
0:08:06 > 0:08:09you would be called Jimmy.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13There's loads of Mark Twains in America because they, you know...
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Paul Hogan.- I'm just thinking Paul Hogan must be just a coincidence.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18You know, it's not...
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Of all the people they would put up on the board there, no offence
0:08:20 > 0:08:22to Paul Hogan, but he's, like,
0:08:22 > 0:08:24he was Crocodile Dundee, he was of his era.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28It'd be a strange one to toss in if he wasn't a darts player.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31So, I think, I think we can rule that one out...
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- He is one?- He is a darts player,
0:08:33 > 0:08:34therefore we can rule him out as the answer.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- David Cameron's got to be a bit obvious.- If I was going to guess...
0:08:37 > 0:08:40If I was going to guess? I actually do have to guess.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41THEY LAUGH
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- I'd have said David Cameron. - Let's say David Cameron.- Cameron?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48So, the panel have decided that the name that is not
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- a player at the championship is David Cameron.- Yeah.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56So, not a huge amount of knowledge there from the panel,
0:08:56 > 0:09:00but they believe that David Cameron did not play in the
0:09:00 > 0:09:032017 BDO World Darts Championship.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05So, the tweet that I read about this,
0:09:05 > 0:09:09somebody said something along the lines of, "What, so there's now
0:09:09 > 0:09:13"David Cameron, Jimmy Hendriks and Mark Twain playing at the darts?"
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Oh!- So, I'm going to go for Paul Hogan,
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- I'm going to go against the panel. - He knows.- Amazing.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22You're going against the panel, for £200.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24The correct answer is...
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- It was Mark Twain.- OK.- Wow.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36It was a late night tweet, Chris, with a couple of pints, wasn't it?
0:09:36 > 0:09:37LAUGHTER
0:09:37 > 0:09:40You may have been getting confused with Tom Sawyer,
0:09:40 > 0:09:44- who was one of Mark Twain's characters...- Yeah.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48..who also played the 2017 BDO Darts World Championship.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Canadian darts player David Cameron
0:09:50 > 0:09:54and Dutch player Jimmy Hendriks played in the preliminary round.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58English darts player Paul Hogan, nicknamed Crocodile Dundee...
0:09:58 > 0:10:00IN AUSTRALIAN ACCENT: That's not a dart, that's a dart.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02LAUGHTER
0:10:02 > 0:10:04..beat Tom Sawyer. So, Chris, nothing for that.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08But you're still doing well. After the first round, you're on £400.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14So, Chris, how do you think the panel is doing so far?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Yeah, I think they're doing quite well, to be honest.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Again, we can write the darts question off, that's fine.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Yeah, let's just forget about that.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- But in general, yeah, I'm more than happy.- Aw.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28More than happy?! Surely just happy.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31More than happy would be getting all the questions right. Come on.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32I mean, you're very kind.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34I had low expectations.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35LAUGHTER
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Let's see how they cope with pictures, it's time for Round Two.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41APPLAUSE
0:10:41 > 0:10:44OK, Chris, Round Two is our picture round.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47You must place three pictures in the correct order.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50£300 for each correct answer, two questions in this round,
0:10:50 > 0:10:53a possible £600 up for grabs.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Here comes your first question.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17I haven't got a clue, really don't know.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19I'm not a huge cocktail drinker.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24And if I do have one, it's a pina colada, so please help.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26OK, panel, let's see if we can sort this out for Chris,
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- your debate starts now.- So, you're a pina colada guy, then, Chris.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Give us that one down here. - Now, this is the one.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33This is the lowest,
0:11:33 > 0:11:37because a bellini is just champagne and peach juice.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40So you've only got one alcoholic ingredient in that.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- I have no idea what is in a Manhattan, do you know?- Vodka?
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Like a martini with creme de cassis in it, or something like that.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50I'm not 100%. I'm not sophisticated enough for a Manhattan.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53No, but you were quite sure that Long Island iced tea
0:11:53 > 0:11:54has got boatloads of booze in it.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Pretty much, like, every white spirit goes in it,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- then you sort of just top it up with Coke.- An iced tea?
0:11:59 > 0:12:00- I'm fairly certain.- Really?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03It's one of the ones that I always, as a younger man,
0:12:03 > 0:12:06ordered just cos I thought it had the most alcohol in it.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- LAUGHTER - The most number of alcoholic drinks.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Is a Manhattan, it's a martini of some sort, isn't it?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14I think it's a martini and vodka, but I don't know.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16But I think alcohol content, the actual question, I think
0:12:16 > 0:12:19it's bellini... Is that what we believe?
0:12:19 > 0:12:24I think Manhattan is fairly simple. And Long Island iced tea is...
0:12:24 > 0:12:26- is lovely!- So...
0:12:26 > 0:12:28LAUGHTER
0:12:28 > 0:12:30I don't know how they get anything done in Long Island.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32LAUGHTER
0:12:32 > 0:12:36So on the advice of our booze drinking panel,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39bellini, Manhattan and Long Island iced tea.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43So, have the panel been any help there?
0:12:43 > 0:12:44I'm more than happy, again,
0:12:44 > 0:12:49to go with the answer that they've given, so I am going to go
0:12:49 > 0:12:54for the bellini, then the Manhattan, then the Long Island iced tea.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59You're going with the panel, for £300. Is that the correct order?
0:13:03 > 0:13:04- Yay!- It is, well done.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06APPLAUSE
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- Well done.- Bellini has one alcoholic ingredient, Prosecco,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14or other sparkling wine, mixed with peach juice.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Manhattan has three alcoholic ingredients, rye whiskey,
0:13:18 > 0:13:22red vermouth and a dash of Angostura bitters.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27- Ah!- Long Island iced tea, Ed, five alcoholic ingredients.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32Gin, tequila, vodka, white rum, triple sec,
0:13:32 > 0:13:33gomme syrup,
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- lemon juice and a dash of cola. - And not a leaf of tea in there.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Well done, Chris.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43That's £300 into the prize pot, taking your total up to £700.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49OK, another picture question coming your way.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17Are you a fan of any of those people, Chris? Tell the truth.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18Unfortunately not.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23So, again, it's over to you, hopefully you're a fan.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Ed's looking a bit concerned.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- It's his natural look. - LAUGHTER
0:14:28 > 0:14:30OK, panel, your debate starts now.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33This is really interesting because Billy Ray Cyrus and Miley Cyrus
0:14:33 > 0:14:35have done hundreds in America.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39But I'm not sure Billy Ray has broken over here. But Miley has.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Yeah, but even...
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Billy Ray Cyrus had, like, one, he had Achy Breaky Heart,
0:14:42 > 0:14:43and that's about it.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46And Miley, even though she's really big, I mean,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48obviously Wrecking Ball and stuff like that.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49But how many has she actually had?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52But we're talking top 40, aren't we? It's not top 10.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56- Now, the Iglesias boys...- Millions, but worldwide.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Marty and Kim, I think...
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- I think they are the most. - They both had a boatload.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07- He had loads in the '60s and '70s. - We can safely put that down here.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Definitely. I'm just really confused about the Billy Ray Cyrus thing.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13He only had that one hit, didn't he? Am I right about that?
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- He probably had one other. - How many did Julio have?
0:15:16 > 0:15:18That's the thing that's confusing me.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- In this country, I think he would have had more than him.- Right.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23And then Miley has had more. Oh, it's touch-and-go.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27- I think Miley and Enrique are probably comparable.- Yeah.- OK.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- Your decision, Chairman. - OK, let's leave it as it is.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Let's leave it as it is.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34OK, so the fewest hit singles, or top 40 singles,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37we think, are Billy Ray Cyrus and Miley Cyrus,
0:15:37 > 0:15:40and Julio Iglesias and Enrique,
0:15:40 > 0:15:43and then with the most is Marty Wilde and Kim Wilde.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47So I think in that order.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- OK, Chris.- Right, so...
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Anything in there to help you out?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I think I agree with the least being Billy Ray and Miley.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57I'm unsure about the other two.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Angela, you were saying that Marty Wilde and Kim Wilde had quite
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- a lot of hits in the '70s. - Well, Marty did.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- Marty in the '70s, Kim in the '80s. - Kim in the '80s.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09I feel like Julio had quite a lot of hits, though.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12I'm going to go with my gut instinct,
0:16:12 > 0:16:15and I'm going to say Billy Ray Cyrus and Miley Cyrus...
0:16:16 > 0:16:19..then Marty Wilde and Kim Wilde,
0:16:19 > 0:16:23and then the most for Julio Iglesias and Enrique Iglesias.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Going against the panel.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- Controversial.- Controversial, Sally.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32For £300, is that the correct order?
0:16:36 > 0:16:39It's the wrong order, Chris.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Let's have a little look at the correct order.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48The panel had it right. Billy Ray Cyrus has had only two top 40 hits.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Miley has had 12, 14 in total.
0:16:51 > 0:16:57- Julio has had six, and Enrique has had 17.- Wow.- 23 in total.
0:16:57 > 0:17:03Marty Wilde has had 11 UK top 40 hits and Kim has had 20.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- Wow.- 31 in total. Chris, never mind.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10It means at the end of Round Two, your prize pot is up to £700.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16There's still plenty of time, still £1,000 up for grabs,
0:17:16 > 0:17:18it is time for Round Three.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21APPLAUSE
0:17:21 > 0:17:24OK, Chris, in Round Three you will face questions that contain
0:17:24 > 0:17:26three statements about a person, a place or a thing.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30Only one of them is correct. We need you to find that statement.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34£500 for each correct answer, so £1,000 in total up for grabs.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35Here we go.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03OK.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07I was in Nepal last year, and I was relatively close to the
0:18:07 > 0:18:09mountain, and I remember hearing some facts about it.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I think it might be a bit higher than 5,000, to be honest.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15So I would probably rule that one out. So it's between A and B.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18OK, between A and B. Panel, can you help Chris out on this one?
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- Your debate starts now.- To be fair, he's eliminating the one I knew.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Ed's a big mountain climber. He knew that one, didn't you?
0:18:26 > 0:18:31- Well, feet in a mile, isn't it 1,760?- Feet in a mile?
0:18:31 > 0:18:35- I have no idea.- I have to admit, I converted to metric some time ago.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39- So, 1,760...- I think is feet in a mile.- Right, OK.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- An FA Cup match is 90 minute, right? - A cup match is 90 minutes.
0:18:41 > 0:18:4460 seconds is 5,400.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48The fact that it's very specifically an FA Cup match.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51I have no idea whether it is just a hole in our knowledge that
0:18:51 > 0:18:55there is some... For some reason, each half is ever so slightly...
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I don't know. As you know, sport is a closed book to me.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00That's the nearest one, isn't it?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03That's the nearest number to, and I know that's not very scientific,
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- but are we going to go for it? - It's not feet in a mile.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- Everest is over 6,000 metres.- OK. You're sure of that.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13Let's make that a fact. And you've got the mile, that's a Rippon fact.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16We know that, so it's got to be the minimum number of seconds.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- So, are we going to decide on that? - It has to be, then.- Yeah?
0:19:19 > 0:19:20- OK.- Yeah.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24So, the panel have decided that the answer is B, the FA Cup match.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29So, Chris, by a process of elimination, because Ed seems...
0:19:29 > 0:19:31he's pretty sure on the height of Mount Everest.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Angela is pretty sure about the number of feet in a mile.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- What do you think?- Yeah.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41I think Mount Everest is over 8,000 metres, I'm pretty certain.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45And I'll go with Angela's maths on the number of feet in a mile.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49So I'm going to go with the panel, and I'll go for B, please.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54You're going for the minimum number of seconds in an FA Cup match
0:19:54 > 0:19:57is 5,280.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00For £500, the correct statement is...
0:20:04 > 0:20:09- Oh!- It's the exact number of feet in one mile.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14- There are 1,760 yards...- Yards! - ..in a mile,
0:20:14 > 0:20:16three feet in the yard,
0:20:16 > 0:20:21making 5,280, so you got the figure right.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- Sorry, Chris.- 5,280 seconds would add up to 88 minutes,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28which would be too short for a football match.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Football matches are 90 minutes before injury time.
0:20:31 > 0:20:37The top peak of Mount Everest is around 8,848 metres above sea level.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Good knowledge, Ed. Good knowledge, Chris.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Unfortunately, though, it means no money for that question.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44There's still 500 up for grabs, though,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47with your final question of this round. Here we go.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06I feel like that would be common knowledge if
0:21:06 > 0:21:09he had six fingers on his right hand.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12B is quite a bizarre statement.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16I would be inclined to go with A, but maybe one of you guys
0:21:16 > 0:21:19has met Rowan before and looked at his hands.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- LAUGHTER - I've not, I'm afraid.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Panel, can you shed any light on this for Chris?
0:21:24 > 0:21:29- Your debate starts now.- Well, I've never heard of a Rodney Atkinson.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Then again, I don't know if that's Rowan's real name.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36If his brother is standing for Ukip, I would have heard about that.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38That's one of those, surely you'd have heard that before.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- You would have definitely have heard of that.- Absolutely.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43He would have been out there campaigning for him, possibly.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- Or if he hadn't, that would be news. - Yeah, trying to avoid it.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49I've never heard he's got six fingers on his right hand.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53I'm fairly certain he has the regular complement of fingers.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55I'm trying to think of Blackadder's gloves now.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Not something I ever thought I would be thinking about.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01I mean, the only thing that jumped at me was, like you, Chris,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Mr Bean first appeared on Comic Relief.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Because lots of comedy characters have started there.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08I think it's Comic Relief. I think it's Mr Bean.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12- It's got that feel about it. - OK, are we going to go for that?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14OK, we are going to go for A, Comic Relief.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19OK, Chris, they're going for A.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Yeah, I think I'm inclined to go for that as well.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26I'm going to go with A, Mr Bean first appeared on Comic Relief.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28OK.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32For £500, did Mr Bean first appear on Comic Relief?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34The correct answer is...
0:22:37 > 0:22:40No!
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- ..his brother Rodney stood for Ukip leader.- Oh, my gosh!
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- Wow.- Rodney Atkinson lost the Ukip leadership election
0:22:47 > 0:22:51by 16 votes to Jeffrey Titford in the year 2000.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55I can tell you, Mr Bean has appeared on Comic Relief,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58but only after he was an established character.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01It means at the end of Round Three, your prize pot is £700.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04APPLAUSE
0:23:07 > 0:23:11OK, Chris, £700 up for grabs, any plans what you'd like to do with it?
0:23:11 > 0:23:15So, to be honest, I think that I would like to use the money
0:23:15 > 0:23:20to probably try and self publish, maybe even if it's just one book for
0:23:20 > 0:23:25me, so I can put it on the shelf and say that I have achieved something.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- OK.- Yeah.- There is only one question that stands between you and
0:23:28 > 0:23:31that £700, Chris. That is of course our Final Debate.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35In the Final Debate, you will face one question with six possible answers.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Three of those answers are correct.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40I need you to give me all three correct answers to leave with the £700.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43You will not be playing this question on your own,
0:23:43 > 0:23:44you will be pleased to know.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Would you like Angela Rippon to go the extra mile with you?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Would you like to be shaken, not stirred, with Sally Lindsay?
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Or will you break his heart, his achy, breaky heart...
0:23:53 > 0:23:54LAUGHTER
0:23:54 > 0:23:56..and pick Ed?
0:23:56 > 0:24:01As fantastic as Ed and Sally have been, and I mean that,
0:24:01 > 0:24:03I feel like the kind of work Angela has done as
0:24:03 > 0:24:08a journalist gives her quite a broad knowledge of the world in general.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10And modern history, perhaps.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13So, yeah, I'd like to go with Angela, please.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16OK, Angela, join us as we play the Final Debate.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17APPLAUSE
0:24:19 > 0:24:22OK, Angela, Chris believes that you have the best overall knowledge to
0:24:22 > 0:24:24help him to the money. Has he made the right decision?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27This is the most terrifying part of this show, I have to tell you,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30when you really have to dig really deep,
0:24:30 > 0:24:34and if the two things that come up cover things that you know,
0:24:34 > 0:24:35we're all right. But if they don't.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39I mean, if there is a bit of sport up there, or pop music, I'm out of here.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43- OK.- OK. Chris, two categories for your Final Debate, as always.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Have a look at these and tell us which you fancy.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- How's your space knowledge? - Space...
0:24:53 > 0:24:56They're probably going to be asking questions about stars and
0:24:56 > 0:24:58space travel.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02- I feel like you could perhaps help with the media side of things.- OK.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06So, yeah, I'm going to go with Radio, please.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07You're going for Radio, Chris.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11This is where my heart now is right up here in my mouth.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12ANGELA LAUGHS
0:25:12 > 0:25:16I wish you the best of luck. For £700, 45 seconds on the clock,
0:25:16 > 0:25:19here is today's Final Debate question.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28LAUGHTER
0:25:28 > 0:25:29(Fastnet.)
0:25:31 > 0:25:32No.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34No.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36No.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Yes.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- North Sea. Yes!- Your debate starts now.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44It's definitely not Orkneys and Penzance.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- OK.- It is Fastnet, it is definitely Viking.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50And I am 99% sure it is North Sea.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Because I hear the Shipping Forecast when I'm up very early in the
0:25:53 > 0:25:58- morning to go filming.- I've never heard of...- Dogger Bank, yeah.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02Penzance, definitely not. Orkneys is definitely not. Wait a minute.
0:26:02 > 0:26:07- Dogger, Viking. Fastnet, Dogger, Viking, North Sea.- 20 seconds.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Now I'm worried about North Sea. I don't think North Sea is.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13I think it's Fastnet, Dogger, Viking.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- Do you remember hearing those recently?- I'm just trying to think.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Fastnet, Dogger Bank... Viking definitely is.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Fastnet, it definitely is.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26I know it's not Penzance and I know it's not Orkneys.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30- Chris, I need three answers. - OK, I'm going to go for Fastnet.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- Definitely.- Viking.- Definitely.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36- And North Sea, please. - No, no, it's Dogger!
0:26:39 > 0:26:44OK, Fastnet, Viking and North Sea. OK, Chris, here we go, best of luck.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47For £700, we're all hoping you can do this.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Three BBC Radio 4 Shipping Forecast areas.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55First up, you gave us Fastnet. Is Fastnet a Shipping Forecast area?
0:27:00 > 0:27:02It is. Up and running.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03APPLAUSE
0:27:05 > 0:27:06Next, you said Viking.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11To keep us on track for the £700, is Viking a Shipping Forecast area?
0:27:16 > 0:27:20It is. Between the Shetland Islands and Norway.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23So it all boils down to this.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Initially Angela thought it may have been North Sea,
0:27:25 > 0:27:28then she thought it was Dogger.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30I needed an answer, Chris, and you gave me North Sea.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33If North Sea is correct, you leave today with £700.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36If it's the wrong answer, I'm afraid you leave with nothing.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Fingers crossed, here we go.
0:27:39 > 0:27:44Is North Sea a Radio 4 Shipping Forecast area, for £700?
0:27:52 > 0:27:54It's the wrong answer, Chris.
0:27:54 > 0:27:59It goes North Utsire, South Utsire, Fastnet, Dogger, Viking.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- Let's see the correct answer. - It's Dogger.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05It is Dogger, Angela.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09After Dogger Bank, a sandbank east off Newcastle.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12The Shipping Forecast has been going since the 1920s, only stopped during
0:28:12 > 0:28:15the Second World War when it thought it may have helped the enemy.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Chris, I'm so sorry, we were so close on that one.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22I wouldn't have had a clue anyway, so at least we got two right.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Well, look, you've been a great player, thanks for coming in to see us.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27- Give it up one more time for Chris. - Thank you.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29APPLAUSE
0:28:30 > 0:28:32- Thanks.- There you go.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34That is it for Debatable, just enough time for me to thank our
0:28:34 > 0:28:38fantastic panel, to Angela Rippon, to Sally Lindsay and Ed Byrne.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39I do hope you've enjoyed watching,
0:28:39 > 0:28:42we will see you next time for more heated debates.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43For now, it's goodbye from me.
