CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

WHISTLING AND CHEERING

0:00:190:00:21

Hello, you - and welcome to Insert Name Here,

0:00:230:00:27

the show where we discover surprising facts about people

0:00:270:00:29

with just one thing in common - they've all got the same name.

0:00:290:00:33

Joining me, six of my favourite people, who amazingly have names.

0:00:330:00:36

Please welcome Nish Kumar, Kate Williams

0:00:360:00:38

and their team captain, Josh Widdicombe,

0:00:380:00:40

and on the other side, Katherine Ryan, Gabby Logan

0:00:400:00:42

and their captain, Richard Osman.

0:00:420:00:44

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:00:440:00:45

APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH

0:00:450:00:47

Welcome, one and all.

0:00:510:00:52

Er, Nish, is Nish short for something?

0:00:520:00:55

Or is Nish a complete, full, unexpurgated name?

0:00:550:00:58

Yeah, my full name is Nishant Kumar,

0:00:580:01:01

which I think I'm increasingly going to go by, because I...

0:01:010:01:05

Like, my name in Sanskrit means "night's end".

0:01:050:01:07

It means, like, the daybreak, Nishant, which is lovely.

0:01:070:01:10

But then, earlier this year,

0:01:100:01:11

I was making a travel programme in Kenya

0:01:110:01:14

and I was with some guys from the Maasai,

0:01:140:01:16

and when they introduced me as Nish Kumar,

0:01:160:01:18

a couple of them started laughing and I was like,

0:01:180:01:21

clearly, they're familiar with my work.

0:01:210:01:23

LAUGHTER

0:01:230:01:24

I didn't realise I was one of the big Maasai comedians, right?

0:01:240:01:27

And later I found out that they were laughing because my name literally

0:01:270:01:31

translated in the Maasai dialect means, "no vagina".

0:01:310:01:35

LAUGHTER

0:01:350:01:36

-Factually correct.

-Which it, well, the thing is,

0:01:360:01:39

all the English-speaking crews started calling me "no vagina",

0:01:390:01:41

and it was like secondary school all over again, Sue.

0:01:410:01:44

LAUGHTER

0:01:440:01:45

I used to drive a Vauxhall Novagina.

0:01:450:01:47

LAUGHTER

0:01:470:01:48

And so to the all-important question,

0:01:530:01:54

which name will be featuring tonight?

0:01:540:01:56

They can be bakers, or cooks, thumbs, or tits.

0:01:560:01:59

Tonight's name is Tom.

0:01:590:02:01

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:02:010:02:03

So, as you may have guessed,

0:02:050:02:07

we'll be talking about all kinds of Tom, Thomases,

0:02:070:02:09

Tommys and, who knows, maybe the odd Thomasina?

0:02:090:02:11

Along the way, teams will be collecting as many Toms as they can.

0:02:110:02:14

At the end of the show, the winning team will have the honour

0:02:140:02:17

of deciding who is officially the greatest Tom of all time.

0:02:170:02:20

Josh, any early thoughts as to who your great Tom might be?

0:02:200:02:22

So, I've got Tom Cruise...

0:02:220:02:24

-Yes.

-Tom Hanks.

0:02:240:02:25

TomTom, the founder of the satnav...

0:02:250:02:28

LAUGHTER

0:02:280:02:29

But I can't not go with Tom Widdicombe, my dad.

0:02:290:02:34

Oh, that's beautiful.

0:02:340:02:36

Is he going to come up tonight?

0:02:360:02:38

You know what that means in ancient Maasai?

0:02:380:02:41

LAUGHTER

0:02:410:02:43

Disappointing son?

0:02:430:02:44

LAUGHTER

0:02:440:02:46

Richard, any early thoughts on a Tom?

0:02:460:02:48

Well, he's literally gone through every single one of them.

0:02:480:02:51

He didn't mention Tom Jones.

0:02:510:02:52

You didn't mention Tom Jones, you're quite right,

0:02:520:02:54

-but I also have a family connection, as well.

-But that's not unusual.

-No...

0:02:540:02:57

LAUGHTER Hooray!

0:02:570:02:59

CHEERING

0:02:590:03:01

Straight out the trap.

0:03:010:03:03

My grandad is a Thomas, so I'd probably say him,

0:03:030:03:06

but I'm also big fan of Tomasz Schafernaker, the BBC weatherman,

0:03:060:03:09

so it's tricky.

0:03:090:03:10

LAUGHTER

0:03:100:03:11

-One or the other.

-He's a prince amongst men.

0:03:110:03:13

-Isn't he just?

-He is.

0:03:130:03:15

Anyway, let's get on with the show. We've got our favourite Toms.

0:03:150:03:18

Now it's time to pick a Tom, any Tom.

0:03:180:03:20

Our panellists choose a category.

0:03:200:03:21

Behind each category lurks a famous Tom,

0:03:210:03:23

which our teams must then attempt to win.

0:03:230:03:26

We have got an inventive Tom,

0:03:260:03:28

we've got a presidential Tom,

0:03:280:03:30

a Hollywood Tom

0:03:300:03:31

and a time-travelling Tom.

0:03:310:03:33

So, Josh, you're up first. Choose a category, if you will.

0:03:330:03:36

I think we'll go for Hollywood Tom.

0:03:360:03:38

Well, you have chosen star of Mission: Impossible and Top Gun,

0:03:380:03:41

Tom Cruise.

0:03:410:03:42

-Whoo!

-Oh, no!

-Yeah... What do you mean "Oh, no"?

0:03:420:03:45

He was one of your favourite Toms two minutes ago.

0:03:450:03:47

LAUGHTER You can turn on a sixpence.

0:03:470:03:49

-Yeah.

-Let's have a look at Tom Cruise's stats.

0:03:490:03:52

No. He was actually born on the 3rd of July.

0:03:540:03:57

Risky Business...

0:03:570:03:59

LAUGHTER

0:04:040:04:05

Tom Cruise, or to give him his full name,

0:04:100:04:12

Thomas Cruise Mapother IV,

0:04:120:04:13

is a multiple award-winning actor. Favourite films, anybody? Anyone...?

0:04:130:04:16

Favourite? Er, Shawshank Redemption's my favourite.

0:04:160:04:19

LAUGHTER

0:04:190:04:21

Shame, shame he never featured.

0:04:210:04:23

-Oh, favourite Tom Cruise film?

-Yeah.

-Oh, yeah.

0:04:230:04:26

LAUGHTER No.

0:04:260:04:27

Which cartoon character was modelled on Tom Cruise?

0:04:270:04:31

-I'm thinking Disney.

-Pocahontas.

0:04:310:04:34

LAUGHTER

0:04:340:04:35

-Think flying carpet.

-Dory.

0:04:360:04:38

-Aladdin.

-Aladdin?

-Indeed it was Aladdin.

0:04:380:04:42

Yeah, it was. Hence the famous scene where Aladdin

0:04:420:04:44

jumps up and down on a sofa,

0:04:440:04:45

shouting about how much he loves Princess Jasmine.

0:04:450:04:48

LAUGHTER

0:04:480:04:50

This is the whitewashing of Hollywood.

0:04:500:04:52

Aladdin should be modelled on somebody like Nish.

0:04:520:04:54

-NISH:

-Yeah, exactly. I'm a classic Aladdin.

0:04:540:04:57

And, do you know what? In ten years, when it all goes wrong,

0:04:570:04:59

you will be at the Theatre Royal Norwich.

0:04:590:05:01

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:05:010:05:03

Cruise also inspired another screen role other than Aladdin.

0:05:080:05:11

Has anyone got any guesses...?

0:05:110:05:13

Compo, Last Of The Summer Wine.

0:05:130:05:15

LAUGHTER

0:05:150:05:16

Think serial killer in the United States.

0:05:160:05:19

-It's not Hannibal...

-American Psycho?

-American Psycho.

0:05:190:05:21

-American Psycho?

-Oh, yeah...

-Absolute...

-Wow.

0:05:210:05:24

Christian Bale's character, Patrick Bateman, in American Psycho.

0:05:240:05:28

The story went that Bale was struggling to prepare for the role,

0:05:280:05:31

until he noticed "Cruise's intense friendliness

0:05:310:05:34

"with nothing behind the eyes".

0:05:340:05:35

LAUGHTER

0:05:350:05:38

Which is basically like Piers Morgan,

0:05:380:05:40

but without the intense friendliness. LAUGHTER

0:05:400:05:43

-So, yeah.

-And then Christian Bale has got to bump into Tom Cruise

0:05:430:05:46

after he's publicly said that at Hollywood get-togethers.

0:05:460:05:50

But you can't hurt someone who's got nothing behind the eyes.

0:05:500:05:53

Tom Cruise cannot break, so he'll still be like,

0:05:530:05:55

"Hey, how are you?" It'll be fine.

0:05:550:05:58

You can say whatever you want about Tom. We're doing it now.

0:05:580:06:01

-I could be auditioned to be his next wife.

-Yeah.

0:06:010:06:04

LAUGHTER

0:06:040:06:05

-Yeah.

-Would you marry him, if you had the opportunity?

0:06:050:06:08

It'd be fun, right?

0:06:080:06:10

I would sooner marry Tom Cruise than a real person that I loved.

0:06:100:06:14

LAUGHTER

0:06:140:06:15

Erm, Tom Cruise has had many things,

0:06:180:06:20

many things named in his honour.

0:06:200:06:22

Do any spring to mind?

0:06:220:06:24

Missile?

0:06:240:06:25

LAUGHTER

0:06:250:06:26

Not named after him but, yeah, I'll give you that, yeah.

0:06:260:06:29

Is there a national day in Japan?

0:06:290:06:31

-There is indeed...

-Of course there is.

0:06:310:06:33

..a day named after him. This is the 10th of October.

0:06:330:06:37

The Japan Memorial Day Association

0:06:370:06:39

awarded Cruise his own day in 2006 to mark the fact

0:06:390:06:42

that Thomas made more visits to the Far East

0:06:420:06:44

than any other Western actor.

0:06:440:06:46

It's not public, they don't have the day off, do they?

0:06:460:06:48

No, a celebration.

0:06:480:06:49

-Right, OK.

-It's Cruise-based.

-Like pancake day.

0:06:490:06:52

LAUGHTER

0:06:520:06:53

-Yes.

-Over there, they call it Shrove Cruise Day.

0:06:530:06:56

LAUGHTER

0:06:560:06:58

APPLAUSE

0:06:580:06:59

He's got a law named after him. The so-called Tom Cruise Law

0:07:040:07:07

was campaigned for by doctors after Tom Cruise bought his own

0:07:070:07:10

ultrasound machine during Katie Holmes's pregnancy.

0:07:100:07:13

The law basically bans non-medical personnel

0:07:130:07:15

from buying their own ultrasound devices for fear of misuse.

0:07:150:07:18

You can imagine him saying, "Shall we watch telly tonight, Katie,

0:07:180:07:21

"or just the inside of your womb again?"

0:07:210:07:23

Whoa! There's no way he bought that for that.

0:07:230:07:26

There's definitely... You're just going, "Shall we do your balls?"

0:07:260:07:29

LAUGHTER

0:07:290:07:31

I like how that's the first thing you think about.

0:07:310:07:33

If there was an ultrasound machine here,

0:07:330:07:36

straight on Nish's balls.

0:07:360:07:37

And it would say "no vagina".

0:07:390:07:40

LAUGHTER

0:07:400:07:41

APPLAUSE

0:07:410:07:43

Tom is a genuine adrenaline junkie.

0:07:460:07:48

He once sat on top of the world's tallest building,

0:07:480:07:51

the Burj Khalifa tower, in Dubai.

0:07:510:07:54

Imagine being so insecure about your height

0:07:540:07:57

that you've got to do something like that.

0:07:570:07:59

LAUGHTER

0:07:590:08:00

APPLAUSE

0:08:010:08:03

What did he do when he was up there? Let's ask the question.

0:08:040:08:07

-What did he do?

-Definitely...had a wank.

0:08:070:08:10

Are you saying he went to the top of a big building

0:08:100:08:12

-and tossed himself off?

-Yeah.

0:08:120:08:15

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:08:150:08:17

So he actually graffitied when he was up there.

0:08:220:08:24

-He's such a bell, isn't he?

-Yeah.

0:08:240:08:26

LAUGHTER

0:08:260:08:28

OK, listen, time to play for...the Tom.

0:08:280:08:30

We're going to focus on Tom's celebrity lifestyle for this one.

0:08:300:08:34

So what did Tom ask Will Smith and his wife Jada

0:08:340:08:38

to play in his mansion?

0:08:380:08:40

-Does anybody...

-Katherine knows.

-Twister?

-It's not Twister.

0:08:400:08:44

Is it hide and seek?

0:08:440:08:46

It is hide and seek!

0:08:460:08:48

APPLAUSE

0:08:480:08:50

This was during a gathering at Cruise's house.

0:08:530:08:55

Cruise's former friend and actress Leah Remini,

0:08:550:08:57

who was also there, had to explain she couldn't play

0:08:570:08:59

cos she was wearing five-inch stilettos.

0:08:590:09:01

Cruise replied, "Good, so you're it, then!"

0:09:010:09:04

And then ran off to hide in his three-acre garden.

0:09:040:09:06

Well done, Katherine, you and Richard's team win the Tom.

0:09:060:09:10

APPLAUSE

0:09:100:09:12

Right, Richard, your turn. Time to pick a Tom.

0:09:160:09:18

Can we have Inventive Tom, please, Sue?

0:09:180:09:21

And you have chosen America's greatest inventor.

0:09:210:09:24

He's electric. It's Thomas Edison.

0:09:240:09:25

Let's have a look at his stats...

0:09:250:09:27

LAUGHTER

0:09:370:09:39

Probably the most famous of Edison's inventions

0:09:390:09:41

was the light bulb. Strictly speaking,

0:09:410:09:42

it was an improved version of the incandescent bulb,

0:09:420:09:45

using a carbon filament.

0:09:450:09:47

How has the light bulb made our lives worse?

0:09:470:09:50

Is it because we extend the day so long now

0:09:500:09:53

-due to the light bulb that we don't live according to the natural rhythms...

-Oh, yes...

0:09:530:09:56

..so awake longer, it's not always good for us.

0:09:560:09:59

That's absolutely right. We used to sleep ten hours a night.

0:09:590:10:02

Thanks to artificial light, we now only average 6.9 hours

0:10:020:10:06

and 7.5 at weekends.

0:10:060:10:07

But on the plus side, we have clawed back the two hours

0:10:070:10:09

we used to spend lighting candles.

0:10:090:10:11

LAUGHTER

0:10:110:10:13

Does anybody know what Edison's connection with Pele is?

0:10:130:10:17

-Footballer Pele.

-Yeah, his name is...

0:10:170:10:18

-Edison.

-RICHARD:

-Edson Arantes...

-JOSH:

-Oh, yeah.

0:10:180:10:20

Absolutely right.

0:10:200:10:22

His parents chose it in honour of the town's new electricity supply.

0:10:220:10:25

In the same way my nephew's called Sky Plus.

0:10:250:10:27

LAUGHTER

0:10:270:10:29

Oh, my niece is Sky Cube.

0:10:290:10:30

Really? LAUGHTER

0:10:300:10:32

How did you get a job with Thomas Edison?

0:10:340:10:36

What would he make you do?

0:10:360:10:38

Did he...? It was a series of ten tasks over weeks.

0:10:380:10:41

He'd split into two teams of men and women,

0:10:410:10:44

and then at the end, they'd choose a twat.

0:10:440:10:47

LAUGHTER

0:10:470:10:49

APPLAUSE

0:10:490:10:50

You had to eat... It's a very strange one, this one.

0:10:550:10:58

You probably won't... You had to eat a bowl of soup, OK?

0:10:580:11:01

And if you seasoned it before you tasted it,

0:11:010:11:05

-you didn't get the job.

-I am with him on that.

0:11:050:11:07

-Yeah.

-What a weird job interview. Where you go in,

0:11:070:11:11

and there's a bowl of soup.

0:11:110:11:12

I think I would say, "I'm fine, thanks."

0:11:120:11:15

-LAUGHTER JOSH:

-Yeah, I'm quite...

0:11:150:11:17

"This is a business environment, I should probably...

0:11:170:11:20

"I'm actually very experienced

0:11:200:11:22

"in the world of light bulb manufacturing.

0:11:220:11:24

"We can just discuss my CV."

0:11:240:11:26

But anyway, if they adulterated it, if they seasoned it,

0:11:280:11:31

they wouldn't get the job.

0:11:310:11:32

And if they did, you just went for it, then maybe.

0:11:320:11:35

And then, and only then,

0:11:350:11:36

would it go to a white middle-class man from Oxbridge.

0:11:360:11:38

Edison's self-imposed quota was one minor invention every ten days

0:11:380:11:42

and a major invention every six months.

0:11:420:11:45

Anybody here invented anything?

0:11:450:11:47

-Yes.

-What the actual?

0:11:470:11:49

It's technically not an invention, it's been invented kind of,

0:11:490:11:52

but not in this form.

0:11:520:11:54

-OK.

-I'm really hoping it's Reggae Reggae sauce.

0:11:540:11:56

LAUGHTER

0:11:560:11:58

So I've felt for a long time that horns in cars

0:11:580:12:03

don't tell the full story. Sometimes...

0:12:030:12:06

-What stories do you want them to tell?

-Because sometimes,

0:12:060:12:09

when you're driving along and you want to acknowledge something nice,

0:12:090:12:12

or catch the attention of someone you like,

0:12:120:12:14

or let somebody in, the angry horn,

0:12:140:12:16

that doesn't work in those environments, does it?

0:12:160:12:18

So I would like two horns. The happy horn, which comes on...

0:12:180:12:21

UPBEAT HORN SOUND

0:12:210:12:23

That was really good.

0:12:230:12:24

Can I ask what you mean by "acknowledge something nice"?

0:12:240:12:27

-RICHARD:

-You know if you're behind someone at the lights,

0:12:270:12:30

and it changes... There's two ways of doing this. You could say,

0:12:300:12:33

"You're an idiot, cos you haven't spotted it,"

0:12:330:12:35

or it would say, "Like me, you've taken your eyes off it, but look, it's green."

0:12:350:12:38

-Yeah.

-And then you press Gabby's happy horn.

0:12:380:12:40

LAUGHTER

0:12:400:12:42

I'd be careful with your marketing of Gabby's happy horn.

0:12:420:12:44

-It could sell.

-I know what I'm doing.

0:12:440:12:47

It might get more search mentions, so that's...

0:12:470:12:50

LAUGHTER

0:12:500:12:51

I want a bag of sweets that's half Maltesers and half Minstrels,

0:12:510:12:55

that's what I want to do. And not Revels, because...

0:12:550:12:57

But just Maltesers and Minstrels, called Maltinstrels.

0:12:570:13:00

And I have written to them a number of times, and nothing so far.

0:13:000:13:04

Would it be too much to ask you to buy two bags

0:13:040:13:07

-and put them together in a Ziploc?

-Do you know what? Would it be

0:13:070:13:10

too much to ask you to just press your horn a bit differently?

0:13:100:13:13

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:13:130:13:15

There's a lot of, yeah... We've got some surprising tension.

0:13:200:13:24

Edison's inventions were successful, mind you.

0:13:240:13:26

In 1880, he designed a prototype helicopter.

0:13:260:13:29

How was it powered?

0:13:290:13:31

Just by dreams.

0:13:310:13:32

LAUGHTER

0:13:320:13:33

-Bicycle, bike pedals.

-Oh...

-Much more dangerous than that.

0:13:330:13:36

-Fire.

-I'll give you that, it was gunpowder.

0:13:360:13:39

It was a gunpowder...

0:13:390:13:41

LAUGHTER

0:13:410:13:42

..helicopter. It used an early form of combustion engine,

0:13:420:13:45

driven by a highly explosive type of gunpowder

0:13:450:13:47

called guncotton, which exploded and destroyed

0:13:470:13:50

part of his laboratory. But on the plus side, at least some of it

0:13:500:13:54

went straight up in the air.

0:13:540:13:55

Luckily, he had a safety feature installed,

0:13:550:13:57

the gas-operated fire extinguisher.

0:13:570:14:00

LAUGHTER

0:14:000:14:01

Time now to play for the Tom.

0:14:010:14:04

Thomas Edison was lifelong pals with Henry Ford.

0:14:040:14:08

Ford had a memento of Edison in his office.

0:14:080:14:12

Something to do with bodily function. What was it?

0:14:120:14:15

-Sweat.

-Not sweat.

0:14:150:14:17

-Saliva.

-Did he have a tooth?

-Close to saliva.

0:14:170:14:20

-What's close?

-His breath.

0:14:200:14:21

-NISH:

-Wait, what's...?

-Blood.

0:14:210:14:23

-In a jar, his breath, like...

-You got it, Katherine, his breath.

0:14:230:14:26

-His final breath.

-Ah!

0:14:260:14:27

-His final breath?!

-Wow!

0:14:270:14:29

-His final breath.

-How can you...?

-His last breath, if not his final one.

0:14:290:14:33

-RICHARD:

-But also, to get his final one,

0:14:330:14:34

given he wouldn't have known what was going to be the final one,

0:14:340:14:37

he must have held that over his mouth for a really long time.

0:14:370:14:40

-I suspect that's what killed him.

-Probably, yeah.

0:14:400:14:42

LAUGHTER

0:14:420:14:43

Congratulations, Richard's team, you win the Tom.

0:14:430:14:46

APPLAUSE

0:14:460:14:48

There's plenty to play for, guys, plenty to play for.

0:14:490:14:51

Right, Joshy, it's your turn to pick a Tom.

0:14:510:14:54

Let's go for time-travelling Tom.

0:14:540:14:56

Right, you've chosen time-travelling actor and fourth Doctor Who,

0:14:560:15:00

Tom Baker.

0:15:000:15:01

Yeah, let's have a look at his stats.

0:15:020:15:04

Age, 83.

0:15:040:15:06

Doctor Who's age, 2,100.

0:15:060:15:09

Sex, male.

0:15:090:15:11

Doctor Who's sex, variable!

0:15:110:15:13

CHEERING

0:15:130:15:16

Tom Baker is the longest-serving Doctor Who,

0:15:160:15:18

clocking up 71 hours and 37 minutes in all his regular episodes.

0:15:180:15:23

Tom grew up in wartime Liverpool, describing it as a happy time.

0:15:230:15:26

"It was fantastic," he said...

0:15:260:15:28

What did he do after he left school at 15?

0:15:350:15:38

Joined the Nazi Party?

0:15:380:15:41

He did join something.

0:15:410:15:42

Did he find a phone box and then leave school at 12?

0:15:420:15:45

No, it was something a little bit more spiritual than that.

0:15:490:15:54

-He trained to be a monk, did he?

-He did indeed.

0:15:540:15:57

He effectively travelled back in time 1,000 years

0:15:570:15:59

and became a monk in Jersey, yeah.

0:15:590:16:02

Towards the end of his time at the monastery,

0:16:020:16:04

how did he fall out with the other monks?

0:16:040:16:06

Did Tom Baker sneak in babes into the monastery?

0:16:060:16:09

No, it wasn't, sort of, lady-related,

0:16:090:16:11

he was trying to, erm...

0:16:110:16:14

trying to cause digestive harm to them.

0:16:140:16:17

Putting laxatives in their food?

0:16:170:16:18

He was putting something in their food, yeah.

0:16:180:16:20

He laced their soup with rabbit droppings in what he describes as a

0:16:200:16:23

"not-too-serious attempt to poison the lot of them."

0:16:230:16:27

All the monks thought it was horrible,

0:16:290:16:30

apart from Brother Bear Grylls.

0:16:300:16:32

In 1974, Baker was working on a building site when he heard he had

0:16:320:16:36

been cast as Doctor Who. Here he is, towering over his co-workers.

0:16:360:16:39

-JOSH:

-Why is Fred West on the far right?

0:16:390:16:42

-RICHARD:

-And also, why is he the good guy in that?

0:16:430:16:48

Tom played the Doctor from '74 to '81,

0:16:480:16:51

one of the show's most popular periods.

0:16:510:16:52

What was unusual about the cast in the classic 1977 adventure,

0:16:520:16:56

The Talons Of Weng-Chiang?

0:16:560:16:58

Potentially Chinese or Oriental.

0:16:580:17:00

Yes, what could possibly go wrong with that set-up?

0:17:000:17:02

-Oh, no!

-None of them were Chinese or Oriental?

0:17:020:17:04

None of them were Chinese or, yeah,

0:17:040:17:06

they were played largely by white actors.

0:17:060:17:08

Here's Li H'sen Chang played by John Bennett.

0:17:080:17:12

-There he is.

-Oh, boy.

0:17:120:17:14

It's ridiculous, isn't it?

0:17:140:17:15

I mean, couldn't a white woman have played that part?

0:17:150:17:19

Doctor Who has featured some terrifying monsters,

0:17:190:17:21

so get ready to hide behind the sofa.

0:17:210:17:23

The Androids Of Tara featured the Taran wood beast!

0:17:230:17:27

No.

0:17:290:17:31

-Come on.

-That's, like, an evil Ewok.

0:17:310:17:33

It's a shame that the mask had melted on the radiator overnight.

0:17:330:17:37

And then my favourite, Erato, the creature from the pit.

0:17:370:17:40

Best, I think, enjoyed in clip form.

0:17:400:17:43

AUDIENCE LAUGHTER

0:17:490:17:51

Is this the ultrasound? This is the ultrasound, yeah.

0:18:000:18:03

APPLAUSE

0:18:030:18:05

-Wow.

-Isn't that extraordinary?

0:18:050:18:07

Does anybody know how Doctor Who communicated with this creature?

0:18:070:18:11

-Oh...

-What?!

-LAUGHTER

0:18:110:18:14

Yeah, you really want to know. Let me tell you. Let's have a look.

0:18:140:18:18

No, no, no.

0:18:180:18:19

LAUGHTER

0:18:230:18:24

So big when it was coming at him, wasn't it?

0:18:430:18:46

Like, face size, and then it was this big.

0:18:460:18:49

Yeah, it's a bit colder in that bit of the cave.

0:18:490:18:52

Does anybody have any phobias, generally?

0:18:520:18:55

I'm afraid of sponge.

0:18:550:18:56

In a previous job, you would have been an absolute nightmare for me.

0:18:590:19:02

So, hang on...

0:19:020:19:03

Cake sponge or sea sponge?

0:19:080:19:10

I don't mind a sea sponge, can cope with that.

0:19:100:19:13

I can cope with a sea sponge.

0:19:130:19:14

You can't cope with a cake sponge?

0:19:140:19:16

I don't mind a cake sponge,

0:19:160:19:17

but sometimes when you sit down in a chair,

0:19:170:19:19

the sponge is exposed, and I can cope with a bath sponge...

0:19:190:19:22

Oh, God, this is very deep, isn't it?

0:19:220:19:24

You can cope with a bath sponge and a sea sponge and a cake sponge.

0:19:240:19:29

-Yeah.

-I think that's all the sponges.

0:19:290:19:31

I have actually been handed a foam mattress when I was at a sleepover

0:19:320:19:36

when I was a teenager, and it was so awful,

0:19:360:19:38

my mum had to come and pick me up. It was so awful.

0:19:380:19:42

I tried to keep it to myself

0:19:420:19:44

cos I knew everyone would laugh at me.

0:19:440:19:46

Josh, that's really bad from you!

0:19:480:19:51

OK, listen, it's time to play for the Tom.

0:19:510:19:55

Baker recently revealed he'd made an unusual purchase.

0:19:550:19:58

Does anybody know what it was?

0:19:580:20:00

It's second hand and he hasn't used it yet.

0:20:000:20:03

Oh, is it an ultrasound?

0:20:030:20:04

-Oh, is it a coffin?

-It's related to a coffin, I'll give you that.

0:20:040:20:08

-Gravestone?

-It's a gravestone, yeah, it's a gravestone.

0:20:080:20:11

He's bought his own gravestone. It's, more accurately,

0:20:110:20:14

the gravestone which he intends to be his own.

0:20:140:20:16

He told the Independent,

0:20:160:20:17

"It's a very old second-hand one I bought for myself.

0:20:170:20:20

"Now, in glorious, bold top billing, it reads 'Tom Baker 1934- .'"

0:20:200:20:24

Well done, Richard, congratulations, you win the Tom.

0:20:260:20:29

Time now to fire up the Tom-flavoured fruit machine.

0:20:350:20:37

Each time I spin, up will pop three of my favourite Toms.

0:20:370:20:40

Our team must match the extraordinary fact

0:20:400:20:42

to the extraordinary Tom,

0:20:420:20:43

and also a chance to unearth more candidates

0:20:430:20:46

for the greatest Tom of all time. Let's spin.

0:20:460:20:48

So, you have got diving nearly-man, Tom Daley,

0:20:480:20:52

all-American sports star, Tom Brady,

0:20:520:20:54

and... SHE PURRS

0:20:540:20:57

Magnum PI, Tom Selleck.

0:20:570:20:59

Josh's team, first, which Tom persuaded Kate Moss

0:20:590:21:01

to pose for a photo shoot?

0:21:010:21:03

Tom Brady is married to Gisele, who is a model.

0:21:030:21:06

But, I mean, if you're Gisele and your husband goes,

0:21:060:21:09

"Can we get Kate Moss round to do bit of modelling?"

0:21:090:21:11

I mean, that's a divorce, surely.

0:21:110:21:14

I don't know much about Selleck.

0:21:140:21:16

I know he has a moustache

0:21:160:21:17

and that he was famously very poor at doing up buttons.

0:21:170:21:21

Those are the two key Selleck facts.

0:21:210:21:25

So, if I was to push you for an answer?

0:21:250:21:27

I sort of think Brady, there's some sort of weird...

0:21:270:21:29

-There's a Gisele link.

-Modelling.

-Yeah.

-We might as well go...

0:21:290:21:31

Yeah, it's the only link we can think of.

0:21:310:21:33

-So, you're going to go for Tom Brady?

-Tom Brady.

0:21:330:21:35

All right, that's your choice. Richard, where would you tend to...?

0:21:350:21:38

I once had to pick Tom Daley up from school when he was 14.

0:21:380:21:41

-Aww!

-Here we go.

0:21:410:21:42

Then take him back to his house.

0:21:420:21:44

-Did he seem persuasive?

-He was very, very persuasive.

0:21:440:21:47

Did he ask you to take any photos?

0:21:470:21:49

No, but he did make me sit on his bed and hold his lucky monkey.

0:21:490:21:53

We can't go through this again.

0:21:550:21:57

We can't go through this, he can't weather a storm like this.

0:21:570:22:01

And he said, "Sit down." So I sat on the bed.

0:22:010:22:04

He said, "Oh, that's my lucky monkey," and he gave me it to hold.

0:22:040:22:07

At that point, I had looked at the camera crew, or the cameraman...

0:22:070:22:10

Oh, right, sorry there was a camera crew.

0:22:100:22:13

-I just thought it was an event in your life.

-No, no.

0:22:130:22:15

-It did feel a bit strange.

-Are the BBC not paying you properly?

0:22:150:22:19

-Do we think it's Tom Daley?

-Yeah.

0:22:190:22:21

-Is that what we think?

-Tom Daley seems persuasive to me.

0:22:210:22:23

-Yeah, yeah.

-We're going to say Tom Daley.

-Let's have a look.

0:22:230:22:27

-Tom Daley is absolutely right.

-Oh, dear.

0:22:270:22:29

He met Kate Moss at a publicity event and asked her if she would

0:22:290:22:32

pose for a photo shoot for his GCSE photography course work.

0:22:320:22:37

And she agreed.

0:22:370:22:38

Congratulations, Richard's team, you win the Tom.

0:22:380:22:41

Another Tom.

0:22:410:22:42

APPLAUSE

0:22:420:22:45

Let's bring up three more Toms. What have we got?

0:22:470:22:49

Turner & Hooch star, Tom Hanks,

0:22:490:22:51

misunderstood singer, Thom Yorke,

0:22:510:22:53

and Cannon and Ball star Tommy Cannon.

0:22:530:22:56

As a child, which Tom had a poster on their wall

0:22:560:22:59

showing the impact crumple zones on a Volvo?

0:22:590:23:03

-Richard, what do you think?

-Goodness me.

0:23:030:23:05

I love that if Tom Hanks is watching this, he'll go,

0:23:050:23:08

"Oh, I'm Turner & Hooch star, am I?

0:23:080:23:10

"That's who I am in England?"

0:23:130:23:15

I would have thought that Tommy Cannon, with respect to him...

0:23:150:23:18

This is as a child?

0:23:180:23:20

-As a child.

-I wonder if Volvos were over here at that stage.

0:23:200:23:25

-JOSH:

-I was thinking whether posters had been invented by then.

0:23:250:23:30

When do you think posters were invented?

0:23:300:23:33

Like Blu Tack. I bet Tommy Cannon's older than Blu Tack.

0:23:330:23:36

-RICHARD:

-Oh, now that's a show!

0:23:360:23:38

Thom Yorke, do you think?

0:23:400:23:41

He's notorious for being a little bit odd.

0:23:410:23:43

It feels like he might have a...

0:23:430:23:45

-Sure.

-Yeah, we're going to say Thom Yorke, please.

0:23:450:23:48

You're going to say Thom Yorke, the genius of Thom Yorke.

0:23:480:23:50

And Josh's team?

0:23:500:23:51

Tom Hanks... Is he older than Copydex?

0:23:510:23:54

Pritt Stick.

0:23:560:23:57

LAUGHTER

0:23:570:23:59

Here's Joe Pasquale, here's a Pritt Stick.

0:23:590:24:02

As always, just one question.

0:24:020:24:04

See you after the break.

0:24:040:24:05

I agree with their view that Tommy Cannon predates the poster.

0:24:080:24:12

-Let's go Hanks.

-Hanks?

-Yeah, yeah.

0:24:130:24:15

You're going Hanks. All right, let's see...

0:24:150:24:17

Bobby Ball's watching this as well. Bobby Ball's wife is going,

0:24:170:24:19

"There's sort of a picture of you on television."

0:24:190:24:22

"But I wouldn't come down from the loft."

0:24:240:24:25

Put the whole dog on, that's fine.

0:24:300:24:34

All right, so you've said Yorke. You've said Hanks.

0:24:340:24:39

Let's see what the right answer is.

0:24:390:24:40

-Blimey.

-Congratulations, then. Richard's team, you win the Tom.

0:24:400:24:45

We're cruising, we're cruising.

0:24:460:24:47

Right, everybody, let's now play Finish The Fact.

0:24:500:24:52

I'm going to start by reading out a Tom-based gem.

0:24:520:24:55

You buzz in when you think you know how it ends.

0:24:550:24:57

First of all, screen hunk Tom Hiddleston.

0:24:570:24:59

One of Tom Hiddleston's first professional appearances was in...?

0:24:590:25:03

-BELL Josh?

-It was midfield for Tottenham Hotspur.

0:25:030:25:07

BUZZER

0:25:070:25:08

Was it in Mr Blobby?

0:25:080:25:10

It wouldn't surprise you, would it? Someone was in there.

0:25:100:25:14

BUZZER

0:25:140:25:15

Was it in a mirror, and then another mirror, and then another mirror,

0:25:150:25:18

and then another mirror?

0:25:180:25:20

It was actually Casualty, playing a window cleaner

0:25:200:25:25

who causes an accident by...?

0:25:250:25:27

BELL

0:25:270:25:28

Is it banana skin near a mousetrap factory?

0:25:280:25:32

-BUZZER

-And if it is, can we watch the clip?

0:25:320:25:35

-RICHARD:

-Was it an accident by a window?

0:25:350:25:38

Yes, it was an accident by a window.

0:25:380:25:41

He knocked a woman over a balcony whilst abseiling.

0:25:410:25:45

Let's see Tom in action, shall we?

0:25:470:25:48

Ready, go.

0:25:530:25:55

Marlon?

0:25:580:25:59

Marlon?

0:26:000:26:01

BABY CRIES

0:26:010:26:02

Marlon?

0:26:040:26:05

Marlon!

0:26:050:26:06

Marlo... Aah!

0:26:070:26:09

AUDIENCE LAUGHTER

0:26:090:26:10

Ugh!

0:26:160:26:17

-That is...

-Textbook, textbook Casualty.

0:26:220:26:25

-Quite extraordinary, isn't it?

-Wow.

0:26:250:26:26

That woman can't come to the phone right now.

0:26:260:26:28

Why? Because she's dead.

0:26:280:26:29

Sadly, no-one won that.

0:26:310:26:33

I would have been actually, sort of,

0:26:330:26:35

deeply impressed if you'd known what that was about.

0:26:350:26:37

Next up, it's a good one for you, Josh - it's Thomas The Tank Engine.

0:26:370:26:41

-Oh! I'll know this.

-In the third Thomas The Tank Engine story,

0:26:410:26:44

Henry refuses to emerge from a tunnel because...

0:26:440:26:47

-BELL

-Hates the French.

0:26:470:26:49

It's actually, it's...

0:26:540:26:56

one of the later episodes, they've run out of storylines.

0:26:560:26:58

BUZZER

0:26:580:27:00

Was he just not ready for another regional accent?

0:27:000:27:03

He was actually afraid that the rain would spoil his new paintwork.

0:27:050:27:08

And so, the Fat Controller orders...

0:27:080:27:10

BELL

0:27:100:27:12

-Josh?

-It's not, like, a bus replacement service?

0:27:120:27:14

BUZZER

0:27:160:27:17

I know it - does he make him live in the tunnel forever?

0:27:170:27:20

-He says, "Never come out."

-Yes, he does.

-What?!

0:27:200:27:23

Henry has to be bricked up in the tunnel forever.

0:27:230:27:26

-This is, like, Room for trains.

-Yeah.

0:27:260:27:30

It was adapted for TV.

0:27:300:27:32

The Fat Controller tells Henry, "We shall take away your rails."

0:27:320:27:34

And Thomas and the other engines pass by saying things like,

0:27:340:27:37

"Serves you right."

0:27:370:27:39

You see the next one where they try to lighten the mood

0:27:390:27:41

with an episode called Thomas Hits A Cow In A Siding.

0:27:410:27:44

You know that picture there?

0:27:440:27:46

-Yeah.

-That's where Donald Trump got the idea.

-Yeah.

0:27:460:27:49

Well done, well done, Katherine, you win that for Richard's team.

0:27:510:27:54

Right, we've come to the end of the show,

0:27:560:27:59

and I can now tell you that tonight's winners

0:27:590:28:01

with the most Toms...

0:28:010:28:02

Richard's team.

0:28:020:28:04

APPLAUSE

0:28:040:28:06

So, very big moment now, Richard.

0:28:090:28:12

Who are you going to nominate as the greatest Tom of all time?

0:28:120:28:14

I think it would have to be, of the ones we've seen tonight,

0:28:140:28:17

I think probably Thomas Edison for inventing the light bulb,

0:28:170:28:20

which is really, really helpful,

0:28:200:28:22

as long as you make sure you turn your lights off

0:28:220:28:24

and get enough sleep.

0:28:240:28:25

Only you could make that sentiment sinister. I really enjoyed that.

0:28:250:28:29

Don't have nightmares.

0:28:290:28:30

That is a truly worthy choice,

0:28:320:28:33

let's put him on the Insert Name Here Hall of Fame.

0:28:330:28:36

Up he goes, joining those who made it from the last series.

0:28:360:28:39

I hereby declare that Thomas Edison is the greatest Tom of all time.

0:28:390:28:44

APPLAUSE

0:28:440:28:46

Many thanks to all our guests.

0:28:500:28:51

Special thanks to all the Toms here, there, and everywhere,

0:28:510:28:54

but, most of all, a big thanks to you at home for watching. Goodnight.
