0:00:09 > 0:00:11CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:11 > 0:00:16Hello and welcome to Debatable, where today one player must answer a series of tricky questions
0:00:16 > 0:00:20to try and walk away with the jackpot of over £2,000.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24But, as always, they are not on their own, they will have a panel of fine celebrities
0:00:24 > 0:00:26debating their way to the answer.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Will they be all talk and no action? That's debatable.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31So, let's meet them.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Chinwagging their way to the answers today,
0:00:33 > 0:00:36we have Paralympian Tanni Grey-Thompson,
0:00:36 > 0:00:37we have comedian Tim Vine
0:00:37 > 0:00:42and writer and comedian Susan Calman!
0:00:42 > 0:00:45CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:45 > 0:00:49It is a deeply educated panel. Susan, of course, you studied law.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52- Yes.- Your debating skills are first-class.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Yes, I won a number of competitions as well at school in debating,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59I was quite a debater. So, I've done quite a lot of it.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Not in quite as stressful a situation as this, I'll be honest.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- Tanni, of course, House of Lords.- Hmm.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09- Also, how many honorary degrees? - Oh, 29.- Just the 29?- Yes.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- LAUGHTER - Doesn't mean anything, though!
0:01:12 > 0:01:14So, I guess I am quite used to debating, but the best advice
0:01:14 > 0:01:16you get when you go into the House of Lords is only go
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- into a debate where you know what you're talking about.- Ah.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22So, I'm not sure it helps very much here.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- And that's the reason why Tim Vine is in the centre seat.- Yes.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26The man who always knows what he's talking about.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30- Well, I'm always willing to TALK about what I'm talking about. - LAUGHTER
0:01:30 > 0:01:31That's our panel.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- Let's meet today's contestant, it is Matt from St Albans.- Come on, Matt!
0:01:35 > 0:01:37APPLAUSE
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- How are you doing, sir? - Very good, thank you.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- Tell us a little bit about yourself. - I am a zoologist and animal lecturer,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46so I talk about animals all day long and I have lots of animals.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- How many animals do you have? - Erm, yeah, over 100.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Talk us through what you've got.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Armadillos, chameleons aplenty, naked mole rats,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57sugar gliders, meerkats...
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- God!- What do you make of today's esteemed panel?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03I have every bit of confidence
0:02:03 > 0:02:07that they're going to be brilliant debaters.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10You've got to pay close attention because you can only choose
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- one to play the Final Debate with you.- OK.- Ready to go?- Absolutely.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16All right, here we go, let's play Round One.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18APPLAUSE
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Matt, this round is multiple-choice,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22each question has four possible answers, only one is correct.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Three questions in this round, £200 for each correct answer,
0:02:26 > 0:02:30a possible £600 that we're going to put into your prize pot that
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- you'll play for at the end of the show.- Mm-hm.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35OK, here we go. Round One. Question one.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Have you got one of these at home, Matt?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57I don't, but I'm very interested to hear what the panel have to say.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01We're all very interested in what the panel's going to say on this.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Panel, your debate starts now.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Can I just say first of all, to my fellow panel members,
0:03:07 > 0:03:08- I once swam with dolphins.- Yeah.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13I actually had to dress up as a dolphin to do it, which I needed like a hole in the head.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16But anyway, me and those dolphins, we just clicked.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19They all ring a slight bell because one of them's real,
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- and so therefore...- Yes...
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Does anyone know, I suppose, I ought to ask.- I haven't got a clue
0:03:24 > 0:03:27of the answer but trying to kind of work out
0:03:27 > 0:03:29which one might be the most appropriate, in terms of,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32like, the shapes of their heads or their eyes.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Yeah, usually when they name a species,
0:03:34 > 0:03:38it's because of some form of visual thing about them that made
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- the people who were naming them think of it.- And possibly a shape.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I mean, I'm leaning toward hourglass personally, for that reason,
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- it's a shape. - Because of the shape of the dolphin.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50See, the spyglass one sounds like it could be real.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Yeah. I mean, I think now that you've said hourglass,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55I think that might be quite a good shout, actually, there.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Have we seen a dolphin like this? I mean...
0:03:57 > 0:03:59It doesn't necessarily need to be like that,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- it could just be a gentle curve. - It could be.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04When they were looking at them in the ocean,
0:04:04 > 0:04:06they saw the curve of them.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Yeah, as opposed to one coming up like that...
0:04:08 > 0:04:10LAUGHTER
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Maybe go for, I think hourglass might be quite a good shout,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- actually.- Shall we say that? It's the first question of the show.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17We want to help Matt here.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Yeah, we're showing our knowledge by saying we think it's
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- probably that one.- Matt, we're not totally certain but we're just
0:04:23 > 0:04:25trying to be helpful. We, as a panel, have decided,
0:04:25 > 0:04:28the hourglass dolphin.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30It takes confidence in a panel, Matt,
0:04:30 > 0:04:32to debate this question in front of a zoologist.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Erm, spyglass and eyeglass are both very similar,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37so you'd think one of those might be the right answer.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40OK, I'm going to go against the panel, and go for spyglass dolphin.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44I've no idea why, but there's something there that's telling me that's the way I should go.
0:04:44 > 0:04:52OK, you're going against our panel. For £200, the correct answer is...
0:04:57 > 0:05:02- Whoa!- It's the hourglass dolphin! - Zoologist? I don't think so.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04LAUGHTER
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Who knew? Well, we didn't.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- So, you've managed to stumble on that one.- Terrible.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12There's a lot of debate about how many species of dolphin there are.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- Any idea?- One more than I was properly aware of.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17LAUGHTER
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Some say 37, 38, others argue for 43.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24The hourglass dolphin is so called due to the distinctive
0:05:24 > 0:05:26markings on the flanks.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32Sorry, Matt, no money for that one but never mind, there's two more questions in this round.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- Let's see if we've got better luck with this one.- Let's hope so.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52I've got more of an idea with this one that I'm confident with.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56OK, let's see what our panel make of this. Your debate starts now.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- We're going to do this one for you. - Yes, go on.- Erm, straight to me?
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- Sorry!- You sounded like you were confident there.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Well, this is one we could possibly work out.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- "Dec" is...- Ten.- ..ten.- Yes.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08So, it would seem to me that if it's "dodec"...
0:06:08 > 0:06:12that would lean towards...either 12 or 20
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- or 22 or ten. - LAUGHTER
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- You see, I thought "dodec" would be two tens.- Yes, me too.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Yes, that was my...- But I don't know what the "agon" bit is.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- I remember dodecahedron in school. - Yes.- But I can't remember how many sides that was.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Yeah, but I think the "agon" bit is not to do with numbers, it's the shape, isn't it?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- So, we don't...- So, I think that dodecahedron...
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I would have said 20. It sounds to me like two tens.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38This is what I feel.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Well, we've come to a conclusion fairly quickly -
0:06:41 > 0:06:44as a panel, we think it's 20.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46So, Matt, what do you think?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49The answer they came up with is the answer I like the most.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54Do-, di-, bi- typically means halving or cutting up or two,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57so, "dodeca", 20 sounds about right to me.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59You're going to agree with the panel?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- I think it might work in my favour this time.- OK.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04You went against the panel first time round,
0:07:04 > 0:07:09you're going with them this time. Does a dodecagon have 20 sides?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11For £200, the correct answer is...
0:07:17 > 0:07:23- Oh!- The correct answer is 12.- Oh, gosh.- The Greek for 12 is dodeca.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Ah... Susan...
0:07:25 > 0:07:28I... I'm gutted. I feel like we're letting Matt down here.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Well, if it makes you feel any better,
0:07:31 > 0:07:33it was his fault the first time.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36LAUGHTER
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Let's have a look at your final question of this round.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03I love the theatrical version of The War Of The Worlds,
0:08:03 > 0:08:04and, like, the radio-play version.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08But the last thing I'd be thinking about is which local town it was
0:08:08 > 0:08:10they rocked up in.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13So, I'm really hoping the panel have got an idea on this one.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17I think the panel are also hoping they have an idea on this one.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Panel, your debate starts now.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- I was fairly obsessed with War Of The Worlds.- Right.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26When we were younger, my parents had only one tape in the car to drive
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- to France and it was the musical version of War Of The Worlds.- Right.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32# The chances of anything coming from Mars... #
0:08:32 > 0:08:34# Are a million to one... #
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- # They say... #- Not too low!
0:08:36 > 0:08:38LAUGHTER
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Can you remember the answer?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Something in the back of...- That's good, cut to the chase, I like it.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44You can see why she's in the House of Lords.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47"Lovely, Susan, nice childhood memory, do you know the answer?"
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Something in the back of my brain is saying Woking.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I read this a really, really long time ago,
0:08:52 > 0:08:54I've got a memory like a goldfish
0:08:54 > 0:08:58so I can't remember any of it, but my gut reaction would be Woking
0:08:58 > 0:09:00because it sounds nicer than Crawley, Basildon or Luton.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04I'm really sorry if I've just offended you because you live there!
0:09:04 > 0:09:06But I think they're newer towns.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Yeah, I think that I, in that case,
0:09:08 > 0:09:13having no clue of this, would bow to, A, your initial thought that
0:09:13 > 0:09:16it's Woking, and your hunch that it's Woking,
0:09:16 > 0:09:19I think that comes together to make our answer,
0:09:19 > 0:09:21as a panel, Woking.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27Tim skilfully disassociating himself from the answer there,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29panel edging towards Woking.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33I'll have to go with the panel and assume that some of their inklings
0:09:33 > 0:09:35might have been correct, with Woking, I think.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Come on, Matt, let's do this.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41OK. We apologise to the people of Crawley,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Basildon and Luton on Tanni's behalf.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49Is the beautifully-sounding Woking the correct answer, for £200?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- Yes!- Brilliant. - APPLAUSE
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- Got there in the end. - Well done, Matt.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03HG Wells lived in Woking when he wrote the book.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Well played, Matt, we have finally got there at the end of that round.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10You're up to £200. Well played.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Let's see how they are on pictures as we play Round Two.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21OK, Matt, Round Two is our picture round, you must place three
0:10:21 > 0:10:25pictures in the correct order. Two questions again in this round,
0:10:25 > 0:10:30- £300 for each correct answer, a possible £600 for your prize pot. - Mm-hm.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Have a look at this one.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- Are you a fan of the Potter? - I'm not a big fan of the Potter,
0:10:50 > 0:10:55I'm definitely going to really value what the panel have got to say.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57OK, panel, can you shed some light on this for us?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Your debate starts now.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- Can I put my hypothesis forward and see how you feel?- Yeah, go for it.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Maggie Smith has been in all of them. - Yeah.- Right?
0:11:05 > 0:11:06So, she's been in the most.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- Right.- Totally agree with that.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Branagh played Gilderoy Lockhart,
0:11:10 > 0:11:13who was definitely featured in one but may have popped up in others.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Michael Gambon played Dumbledore. - He replaced...
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- So he replaced... - Richard Harris.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Yes, after two or three films. - Right.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26So, definitely, Maggie Smith is the most,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- because she's been in every one.- Yes.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Gambon, bearing in mind they split the last book into two films,
0:11:31 > 0:11:35- has been in at least five of the films.- Right.- So, he's...
0:11:35 > 0:11:38And I think Branagh, whilst he's been in perhaps more than one,
0:11:38 > 0:11:43even though you wouldn't think he has, has maybe been in two or three.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- Oh, hold on a second! - Hang on, wait a minute.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52- Dumbledore, spoiler alert, dies! - Huh!- When?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54What?!
0:11:54 > 0:11:58So, Dumbledore wasn't in the last two films.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00I've got to say...
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Just to be clear, we've got to be careful about this.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- I think Branagh is...two films? - Two?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09So, he would've been in definitely more, I think.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11I think that's still right.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15I'm a Potter head, I've got my own wand, OK? Yeah? And a cape.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17I think the fact that you know all those,
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- I'm just deferring to you on this. - Yeah, I've got my own wand.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24We've come to a conclusion and this is the order - Kenneth Branagh, Michael Gambon, Maggie Smith.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28So, has Susan's cape and wand done it for you, Matt?
0:12:28 > 0:12:32I basically had the same concern, I wasn't quite sure if one of them
0:12:32 > 0:12:35has pipped the other by maybe one or two films.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38But I will agree with them, I think.
0:12:39 > 0:12:45OK, you're going with the panel. For £300, is that the correct order?
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- Well done again, Susan.- Very well played. Very well played.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Maggie Smith appeared in seven of the films
0:12:58 > 0:13:04as Professor Minerva McGonagall, Michael Gambon appeared in six,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Kenneth Branagh only appeared in one, you were right, Susan,
0:13:07 > 0:13:11all of which means £300 in the prize pot and you are up, Matt, to £500!
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Well done! Let's see if we can get some more money in the prize pot.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Here comes your next picture question.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46I definitely think that...United Kingdom must have been early on.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49But I am keen again to hear from the panel.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53What you need is a member of the panel who actually goes to work in one of these buildings.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Panel, your debate starts now.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- I think the UK for women was...1928? - Yeah?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Switzerland, I think, was really late.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05- I've got a feeling that Switzerland was, like, '40s, '50s.- Right.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07See, weirdly enough,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10my gut instinct was that the Finnish are the most forward-thinking.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13In terms of, I mean, equality and all that... Yeah...
0:14:13 > 0:14:16For some reason, it's just something in the back of my mind that
0:14:16 > 0:14:21tells me that one of the reasons why the suffragette movement was the way
0:14:21 > 0:14:24it was is that in other countries there was women's suffrage.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25- We were not the first.- Were we not?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Because I've always thought that it felt like every morning
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Emmeline Pankhurst flies over my house and she's keeping me awake.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34He said, "You've got suffragette lag." Anyway...
0:14:34 > 0:14:36LAUGHTER
0:14:36 > 0:14:38(Louder, louder!)
0:14:38 > 0:14:40I'm going to agree with you on this,
0:14:40 > 0:14:44they're surprisingly not very liberal in Switzerland.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46But do you feel strong enough about this to swap it with that?
0:14:46 > 0:14:50Anyone who's a Baroness on the panel really gets to have the final say
0:14:50 > 0:14:53on matters of suffrage. So...
0:14:53 > 0:14:55I think they started off better than us.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58But we might have done it earlier.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- So remember all that when you make your decision.- Yes.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05I hope we've clarified things for you there!
0:15:05 > 0:15:07We say, it goes United Kingdom, Finland, Switzerland.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11It's a complicated one, Matt?
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Erm, let's go with...
0:15:14 > 0:15:18United Kingdom, Finland, Switzerland.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22OK, you're going with the panel. £300. Is that the correct order?
0:15:28 > 0:15:33It's the wrong order! Let's have a look at the correct order.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- Yeah.- Finland first.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41In 1906, Finnish women became the first in Europe
0:15:41 > 0:15:44to be able to vote and Finland was the first in
0:15:44 > 0:15:48the world to allow women to stand as candidates in elections.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Women over 30 could vote in the UK in 1918.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55All women could vote from 1928, Tanni, you were right about that.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- Yeah. - Switzerland waited until 1971...
0:15:59 > 0:16:03- to finally allow women to vote, 1971.- No!
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- That's horrific! - That's worse than I thought.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- I'm never eating a Toblerone again! - LAUGHTER
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Matt, nothing for that.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17It means the total amount banked at the end of Round Two is £500.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20APPLAUSE
0:16:22 > 0:16:24So, there's still plenty of time to get some money in the prize pot.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27£1,000 up for grabs, as we play Round Three.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33OK, Matt, in Round Three, you will face questions that contain
0:16:33 > 0:16:36three statements about a person, a place, or a thing.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Only one of those statements is true, we need you to try to find it.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43There are two questions in this round because it's our final round,
0:16:43 > 0:16:47£500 for each correct answer. Best of luck. Here we go.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19I am relatively confident I've got the right answer.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- What do you think that might be? - I'm going to go for C.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Hold that thought. Panel,
0:17:26 > 0:17:29can we shed some light on this? Your debate starts now.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32In 2010, which was the terrible winter,
0:17:32 > 0:17:37when it snowed very badly, it got down to -15 in Glasgow.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Bearing in mind the coldest temperatures tend to be in
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Braemar, Aberdeenshire, up north...
0:17:43 > 0:17:46What I'm saying is that the -30, whilst it sounds a lot,
0:17:46 > 0:17:49there have been incredibly harsh winters in this country.
0:17:49 > 0:17:54Now, above 40 is the one that to me doesn't sound quite right,
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- because we've got to 35. - That's the one I'm starting
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- to lean back towards... - 40 is hot, I mean 40 is...
0:18:00 > 0:18:0440 is hotter than being in Italy in a heat wave.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I think that's possible.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08I'm leaning back towards the bottom one...
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I don't know whether I'm being steered by that.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Tanni, what do you think?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14I mean, I know we don't have great summers.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16My gut instinct would be above 40.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18It wouldn't surprise me if it got to -5 at some point in June.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- It absolutely wouldn't.- Absolutely. - I live in the North of England.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I mean, June and July, it's not always very warm!
0:18:24 > 0:18:28Yeah, the more I look at that, the more, actually, like you say,
0:18:28 > 0:18:30it seems quite reasonable, as opposed to a record.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- Yes.- Why don't we go for the first one?
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Matt has an inkling and then he can make a decision one way or t'other.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Good work.- Yes.- And we won't be upset if you don't go with us.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- Yes.- Exactly.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Right, we've decided to go with, the coldest temperature recorded
0:18:45 > 0:18:47in England in June is below -5 centigrade.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52That's your weather, Matt, here comes the sport.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54LAUGHTER
0:18:54 > 0:18:57My main motivation behind worrying about weather is all my pets.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Last few years in summer it has got to, like, 35, 36,
0:19:00 > 0:19:0637 degrees C and it's been pretty scary. But June, -5?
0:19:06 > 0:19:10I've got a funny feeling the highest temperature recorded in the UK might
0:19:10 > 0:19:15have been about 41, something like that, 42 degrees C. Ever.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19- And so, I'd go for C.- Yeah. - OK, you're going AGAINST the panel.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- Going with your expertise, Matt. - Yep.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27You believe the highest temperature recorded in the UK is
0:19:27 > 0:19:30above 40 degrees C. For £500, is that the correct statement?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Ooh!
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Correct statement,
0:19:42 > 0:19:47the coldest temperatures recorded in England in June is below -5.
0:19:47 > 0:19:52Santon Downham in Norfolk recorded -5.6 degrees C
0:19:52 > 0:19:56on both the first and the third of June 1962.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00The record coldest day in the UK was in Scotland, Susan,
0:20:00 > 0:20:04where it reached -27.2 degrees C
0:20:04 > 0:20:07in '95, '82 and 1895.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12The highest recorded temperature in the UK to date, 38.5 degrees C
0:20:12 > 0:20:17on the tenth of August 2003 in Faversham, Kent.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20OK, Matt, not to worry, no money added in that question.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23There is still a final chance to pop £500 into the prize pot.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Here it comes, best of luck.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Panel, please. I have very little to say.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56OK, I'm sure our panel have plenty to say on this.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Panel, can you sort it out for us? Your debate starts now.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04- I know he WROTE Waiting For Godot. - Yeah.- And he's from Ireland.- Mm.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- So, it's not beyond the realms, the middle one.- Mm-hm.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10The other two I must say are a bit of a mystery.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12I don't know whether anyone can shed any light on that.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- When did first-class cricket start? - Good question.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18When was Samuel Beckett of first-class-cricket-playing age?
0:21:19 > 0:21:22And if he was Irish, would he have played first-class cricket?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Ooh, I don't know.- If you can answer any of these things, viewers,
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- just send them in on a postcard... - I'm good at asking questions!
0:21:27 > 0:21:30I'm not sure Beckett wrote some of those lyrics
0:21:30 > 0:21:33for The Fairytale Of New York, given that some of the terminology...
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- You're not sure...- I don't think he did, cos some of them are
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- quite modern references.- Yeah.- Yes.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41"The boys of the NYPD choir still singing Galway Bay," for example,
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I'm not sure is something that Beckett would have written.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46I'm going to say he played first-class cricket because I think
0:21:46 > 0:21:49it's the answer we're not meant to choose.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Do you have a gut feeling about one of the three? My gut feeling
0:21:52 > 0:21:55is the middle one. Your gut feeling is the first one.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57I think, yeah, the cricket one is not implausible,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00for him to have played first-class cricket.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02No, absolutely, as someone who's not sure
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- and just batting stuff around... - LAUGHTER
0:22:04 > 0:22:08..if you two feel like you'd opt for "played first-class cricket,"
0:22:08 > 0:22:10I will absolutely go along with that.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12It seems to me the most plausible of three that
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- we have no idea of the answer. - Yes.- OK?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17As a panel, we have decided that Samuel Beckett
0:22:17 > 0:22:20played first-class cricket.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26So, Matt, any information in there to help?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- I don't know what to extract! - LAUGHTER
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Ohhh...
0:22:31 > 0:22:34D'you know what I'm going to do?
0:22:34 > 0:22:40- I'm going to go with your gut and I'm going to go with B.- OK, Matt.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43You've gone against the panel twice before.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Twice you were wrong, you're going against them again.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50They say "played first-class cricket,"
0:22:50 > 0:22:53you're going for "originally wrote Waiting For Godot in Gaelic".
0:22:55 > 0:23:01- Oh, no!- For £500, is that the correct statement?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- Oh, my...- He played first-class cricket!
0:23:09 > 0:23:12It's this way and that, isn't it?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- Oh, Matt!- Oh, it's just...argh!
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Samuel Beckett played two first-class cricket games
0:23:17 > 0:23:19for Dublin University.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22At the end of Round Three, Matt, your prize pot is £500.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24APPLAUSE
0:23:26 > 0:23:30Matt, there is only one question that stands between you and
0:23:30 > 0:23:33that £500, it is our Final Debate.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37The Final Debate question has six possible answers, only three of them
0:23:37 > 0:23:40are correct, we need all three correct answers for you to win the money.
0:23:40 > 0:23:45As before, you're not alone, you're going to choose one of these fine people to assist you in that quest.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48You and your panellists will have 45 seconds to debate the question.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51So, Matt, who would you like to join you in the Final Debate?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Will you be going with Tanni Grey-Thompson,
0:23:53 > 0:23:58who's had her honorary degrees revoked from Basildon, Crawley and Luton University?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Will you be bowled over by Mr Tim Vine?
0:24:01 > 0:24:06Or will you be asking Susan Calman to don her Harry Potter cape and wand and work her magic?
0:24:06 > 0:24:09OK. Susan, you have stood out there,
0:24:09 > 0:24:12so I think I've got confidence in you helping me today.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16OK, Susan, can you please join us as we play the Final Debate?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19APPLAUSE
0:24:22 > 0:24:24OK, Susan, it hasn't exactly gone Matt's way today.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Can we get him home with some money? How are you feeling?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29I really hope so.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31I really... He's such a nice fella and he's played so well,
0:24:31 > 0:24:33because he's gone with his gut as well sometimes.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36I really want to see if we can get him that £500.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41- So, I'm going to do everything I can.- OK, Matt, best of luck. Final Debate, of course,
0:24:41 > 0:24:45has two categories, so have a chat and choose one from this.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Music, automatically, I think I might be better at,
0:24:53 > 0:24:55so, I would go for music first of all.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Are you a great sports fan?
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- There's a few sports that I really am confident with.- Yeah.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Formula 1, tennis.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06I think...you sound more comfortable about sport...
0:25:06 > 0:25:08- No, I don't think I am, no.- No?
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Let's go with music anyway, because I've got more confidence
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- that collectively we could maybe do better on music.- OK.- Yeah?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- You happy with that?- Yeah, absolutely.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18- OK, you're going for...?- Music.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22For £500, Matt, 45 seconds on the clock,
0:25:22 > 0:25:24here comes today's Final Debate question.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Best of luck.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Your 45 seconds starts now.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- Well, Penny Lane was a double A-side with Strawberry Fields.- Yeah?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56What's your gut instinct?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59My gut instinct would be Help!, She Loves You and Come Together.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01OK, Come Together, that's interesting,
0:26:01 > 0:26:03I wouldn't have thought Come Together.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05I would've thought more Penny Lane or A Hard Day's Night,
0:26:05 > 0:26:09because that was the film title, A Hard Day's Night, and I wondered if the soundtrack had...
0:26:09 > 0:26:11It might have not been a single.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- Help! I agree with.- OK, so Help!, we'd be happy with that one.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16- Yes.- Yeah, next?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18I would have said Penny Lane, simply because it was the double A-side,
0:26:18 > 0:26:22- so people were maybe buying more copies.- OK.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Come Together I'm not sure of.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- We have 12 seconds. Help!, She Loves You? Happy with that?- Yeah.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30And then you're thinking Penny Lane, Hard Day's Night.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32You need to go with your gut. You should go with your gut.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- Hard Day's Night or Penny Lane? Two seconds.- Penny Lane.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38SIREN SOUNDS Matt, three answers.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40- OK...- Go with your gut!
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Help!...
0:26:42 > 0:26:45She Loves You...
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- Hard Day's Night.- Yeah.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51OK, Matt, we really hope you can do this.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56You need all three answers to be correct. Here we go.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59For £500, first up,
0:26:59 > 0:27:02you said Help! was a Beatles number one in the UK charts.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Is that a correct answer?
0:27:09 > 0:27:12APPLAUSE Well done.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Number one in 1965. One down, two to go.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18Next, you said, She Loves You.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20To keep us on track for £500...
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Did She Loves You get to the top of the charts?
0:27:32 > 0:27:36APPLAUSE Well played! Number one in 1963!
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Just one answer stands between you and the money.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- Come on, bring it in, mate. Bring it in.- You thought Penny Lane...
0:27:44 > 0:27:46You talked about the double A-side, Susan.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49When the bit came to the bit, though, you decided, Matt,
0:27:49 > 0:27:51to go with A Hard Day's Night.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55If A Hard Day's Night is right, you leave with £500.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57If it's wrong, you do leave with nothing.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00I'd be delighted to be wrong.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Here we go. Fingers crossed.
0:28:03 > 0:28:09For £500, was A Hard Day's Night a Beatles number-one single?
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Yes!
0:28:18 > 0:28:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:28:20 > 0:28:23In 1964!
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Well done, you got there in the end! You've just won £500.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Give it up for Matt!
0:28:33 > 0:28:35That is it for Debatable - just enough time for
0:28:35 > 0:28:38me to thank our great panel today, we had Susan Calman,
0:28:38 > 0:28:40we had Tanni Grey-Thompson and we had Tim Vine.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43I hope you've enjoyed watching. We'll see you next time
0:28:43 > 0:28:47for more heated debates. For now, from me, it's goodbye. Thank you!
0:28:47 > 0:28:48(Well done...)
0:28:50 > 0:28:54APPLAUSE
