Christmas Day has come and gone but it doesn't mean the fun has to stop

0:00:020:00:05

because we're all ready to play The Really Welsh New Year Quiz.

0:00:050:00:09

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:090:00:11

Yes, as the leftover turkey and the Christmas pud cling on in the fridge

0:00:180:00:21

and used wrapping paper fills three black bags by the back door,

0:00:210:00:24

it's time for a festive quiz where the answer isn't always Wales

0:00:240:00:28

but we do like the questions to have a Welsh connection,

0:00:280:00:30

so let's meet our first team captain, comedian and actor, Mr Elis James.

0:00:300:00:35

APPLAUSE

0:00:350:00:37

-Hey, mate.

-Hello.

-How was your Christmas?

0:00:390:00:42

Well, it's June, so...

0:00:420:00:45

This show is pre-recorded.

0:00:450:00:47

I would imagine it's going to be great.

0:00:470:00:50

How do you think it might go? Where will you have it?

0:00:500:00:52

Well, I've got six months to decide.

0:00:520:00:54

LAUGHTER

0:00:540:00:56

I don't know. It could be New York.

0:00:560:00:58

Are you in Carmarthen?

0:00:580:00:59

Yeah, I would imagine it will be Carmarthen, but who knows?

0:00:590:01:02

I mean, my parents could move.

0:01:020:01:04

I tell you one thing, I think Brazil might win the 2014 World Cup.

0:01:040:01:08

LAUGHTER

0:01:080:01:10

Elis James, introduce us to your team.

0:01:100:01:13

Right, it gives me great pleasure to announce, on my team tonight,

0:01:130:01:16

we've got weather presenter Behnaz Akhgar and actress Nicola Reynolds.

0:01:160:01:20

APPLAUSE

0:01:200:01:22

And now it's time to meet our second captain

0:01:220:01:25

who is a presenter of Radio 4's The News Quiz, Mr Miles Jupp.

0:01:250:01:29

APPLAUSE

0:01:290:01:31

Welcome to the show, mate.

0:01:310:01:33

We were having a little squiz at your CV.

0:01:330:01:35

You've done ever so well over the last few years.

0:01:350:01:38

You were in Harry Potter. Ladies and gentlemen, he was in Harry Potter.

0:01:380:01:41

APPLAUSE

0:01:410:01:42

-What were you in Harry Potter?

-I was in it for about...that long.

0:01:420:01:46

In the fifth one, Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix.

0:01:460:01:49

I played a weatherman.

0:01:490:01:51

But, honestly, it's so quick. It's so quick.

0:01:510:01:53

I went to see it with friends and, when I came on, they went "Wahey!",

0:01:530:01:56

and, consequently, missed my line.

0:01:560:01:58

LAUGHTER

0:01:580:02:00

You're also in Monuments Men, which is George Clooney's directed film...

0:02:000:02:05

-Yeah.

-..and you were starring with Matt Damon,

0:02:050:02:09

Bill Murray and John Goodman.

0:02:090:02:12

-AUDIENCE:

-Oooh!

0:02:120:02:13

-What role are you in this?

-He was called Sergeant Fielding, I think.

0:02:130:02:17

I think it was somebody...

0:02:170:02:19

I can't remember his rank but his surname was Fielding.

0:02:190:02:21

I haven't seen it but my scenes are with Clooney.

0:02:210:02:24

We had a little look at the poster when we were doing this research.

0:02:240:02:27

-I'm pretty sure...

-If you look at the poster,

0:02:270:02:30

you're not actually on it, which is a bit harsh, we thought,

0:02:300:02:33

so, actually, we did this.

0:02:330:02:35

LAUGHTER

0:02:350:02:37

Mr Miles Jupp.

0:02:370:02:38

He is on the poster. He is on the poster.

0:02:380:02:41

-Miles, would you like to introduce us to your team?

-Certainly.

0:02:410:02:44

On my team tonight, Newport rapper Eggsy.

0:02:440:02:48

APPLAUSE

0:02:480:02:50

-Eggsy Rutledge, as we called him at school.

-Thank you.

0:02:510:02:54

And legendary comedian Owen Money.

0:02:540:02:57

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:02:570:02:59

OK, let's crack on.

0:03:000:03:02

Round one is a look back at some of the stories in the news in 2015.

0:03:020:03:07

Buzz in if you think you know the answer. Here we go.

0:03:070:03:10

In October 2015, who said, "That was the best loss in my career",

0:03:100:03:15

and about what?

0:03:150:03:16

-Elis should know this answer.

-The best loss...?

0:03:170:03:20

In October 2015, who said, "That was the best loss of my career".

0:03:200:03:23

-Was it a boxer?

-No. What's your favourite sport, Elis?

-Football.

0:03:230:03:27

Oh, right!

0:03:270:03:28

-Presumably, Aaron Ramsey.

-No.

0:03:280:03:31

-Gareth Bale.

-Yes.

0:03:310:03:32

BUZZER Owen Money.

0:03:320:03:35

-When they lost to...

-To Bosnia. Out in Bosnia.

-Hang on.

0:03:350:03:38

I was going to say that.

0:03:380:03:40

-It's come over this side now.

-Has it?

-Yeah.

0:03:400:03:43

Herzegovina, just finishing off for him.

0:03:430:03:46

Yeah, that's correct. Well done, Owen. Owen gets the point.

0:03:460:03:49

APPLAUSE

0:03:490:03:51

Sorry, El. Back to you, though. You are a massive football fan.

0:03:530:03:56

-You went out to some of those games as well. What was it like?

-Yes.

0:03:560:03:59

I went out to Cyprus, I went out to Belgium.

0:03:590:04:02

I couldn't go to Bosnia

0:04:020:04:04

-because I was doing stand-up at a charity event.

-In Herzegovina?

0:04:040:04:08

No, sadly not.

0:04:080:04:10

But I don't think I've ever done stand-up

0:04:100:04:12

with such a resentful look on my face.

0:04:120:04:15

When we qualified, I had a cry in the dressing room.

0:04:150:04:19

-Did you?

-Yeah, yeah.

0:04:190:04:20

You're quite laid-back. I've known you for some time.

0:04:200:04:23

You're quite quiet,

0:04:230:04:24

but when you get on a football terrace, you go bananas.

0:04:240:04:26

-Tops off.

-Tops off. Explain that to me.

0:04:260:04:29

Something happens to me whenever I'm, sort of, watching Wales play.

0:04:290:04:34

Yeah, the top comes off, pictures get tweeted.

0:04:340:04:37

LAUGHTER

0:04:370:04:39

When you take your top off, how long do you leave it off for,

0:04:390:04:42

until the end of the game or do you put it back on?

0:04:420:04:44

I put it back on very, very quickly.

0:04:440:04:46

-What about you, Ow, are you looking forward to...

-I'm going, actually.

0:04:470:04:50

-With Andy Legg, who used to play for Cardiff City.

-Are you? And Swansea.

0:04:500:04:54

Him and I are going on a motorhome and we're going to film it all

0:04:540:04:57

so I'm looking forward to that.

0:04:570:04:59

-Waiting for the draw. It's been, of course!

-LAUGHTER

0:04:590:05:02

I can't wait to go to the South of France, please, God!

0:05:030:05:07

Here we go, next question.

0:05:070:05:08

In May 2015, in the Gower,

0:05:080:05:11

Byron Davies had something which was the smallest in the UK. What was it?

0:05:110:05:15

-BUZZER Eggsy.

-Fun-size Mars bar.

-No.

0:05:150:05:19

Not a fun-size Mars bar. I'll give you a clue. It was politics.

0:05:190:05:23

What would you...

0:05:230:05:24

-BUZZER Owen Money.

-A majority.

0:05:240:05:27

Well done, Owen Money. Yes, a majority of 27.

0:05:270:05:30

Well done. Correct answer.

0:05:300:05:32

APPLAUSE

0:05:320:05:34

Yes, Byron Davies took the seat of the Gower from the Conservatives

0:05:340:05:37

by the narrowest margin in the UK - just 27 votes.

0:05:370:05:40

Yes, in the 2015 General Election, the Conservatives won

0:05:400:05:43

the Gower constituency with a tiny majority of 27.

0:05:430:05:47

What a difference a new old people's home can make! LAUGHTER

0:05:470:05:51

The next story was one of the biggest of the year in Wales.

0:05:510:05:55

Have a look at this. What was this story about?

0:05:550:05:57

BUZZER Eggsy.

0:05:580:06:00

-Is it a creature with a packet of crisps on its head?

-Yes.

0:06:000:06:03

-If you tell me the creature, I'll give you the point.

-It's a cat.

-Yes.

0:06:030:06:06

-That's the story.

-Yes! Did I get a point?

-Yes.

-Wonderful!

0:06:060:06:10

APPLAUSE

0:06:100:06:11

BUZZER

0:06:120:06:14

Is someone buzzing in? Owen?

0:06:140:06:16

I thought he had the sack from Coronation Street, actually.

0:06:160:06:19

LAUGHTER

0:06:190:06:22

Yes, it must have been a slow day back in November this year

0:06:230:06:26

as several newspapers and the BBC News website reported the story

0:06:260:06:30

of a cat in Haverfordwest who was stuck on the roof

0:06:300:06:32

with a crisp packet on its head. LAUGHTER

0:06:320:06:35

For a bonus point, does anyone know how the cat got down?

0:06:350:06:38

BUZZER Owen Money?

0:06:380:06:40

-He was a 'walker'.

-AUDIENCE SIGHS

0:06:400:06:43

APPLAUSE

0:06:430:06:45

Brilliant. Two bonus points for Owen Money.

0:06:470:06:50

No, the cat was coaxed down by the RSPCA

0:06:500:06:52

by an inspector called Rohan Barker.

0:06:520:06:54

Something initially he wasn't going to admit to

0:06:540:06:57

but eventually he felt it necessary to let the cat out of the bag.

0:06:570:07:00

Come on!

0:07:000:07:02

APPLAUSE

0:07:020:07:03

Next question, what happened at midnight on June 30th, 2015?

0:07:030:07:08

I'll give you a clue. It happened at 23:59:60.

0:07:100:07:15

BUZZER Miles Jupp.

0:07:150:07:18

The clocks went...

0:07:180:07:20

..forward.

0:07:210:07:22

No.

0:07:220:07:23

BUZZER Miles Jupp.

0:07:230:07:25

-The clocks went... No, they didn't.

-No.

0:07:250:07:28

We just had an extra second to sort things out a bit.

0:07:280:07:31

Yeah, I'll give you that. A leap second was added to compensate for

0:07:310:07:35

the fact that the Earth is rotating more slowly each day than the last

0:07:350:07:38

so that the time as determined by an atomic clock

0:07:380:07:41

is running more accurately than the world itself.

0:07:410:07:44

Yeah. If a picture is slightly off, you just...

0:07:440:07:48

Just put it back. It's the equivalent, but with the world.

0:07:480:07:51

LAUGHTER

0:07:510:07:53

Did anyone do anything useful with their leap second?

0:07:530:07:55

That would be telling.

0:07:550:07:57

-I just had a big think.

-LAUGHTER

0:07:570:07:59

-I put a white wash on.

-LAUGHTER

0:07:590:08:03

-I learned to play the piano.

-LAUGHTER

0:08:030:08:05

Yes, this is the news that in June 2015,

0:08:060:08:09

we were all given an extra second at midnight.

0:08:090:08:11

Many people didn't adjust their clocks, causing carnage

0:08:110:08:14

as thousands of people arrived a second early for work.

0:08:140:08:17

LAUGHTER

0:08:170:08:18

Next question.

0:08:180:08:20

Which fictional language was chosen by the Welsh government

0:08:200:08:23

to respond to an official enquiry...?

0:08:230:08:25

Klingon.

0:08:250:08:26

-Eggsy's buzzed in.

-Get in!

0:08:260:08:28

-The answer is Klingon.

-I love a good alien question.

0:08:280:08:32

APPLAUSE

0:08:320:08:33

Yes, this was from Conservative AM Darren Millar,

0:08:330:08:36

sent in an official enquiry and the answer came back in Klingon.

0:08:360:08:40

Do you know the story, to talk about it a little bit?

0:08:400:08:42

I just have an obsession with aliens.

0:08:420:08:44

I saw the word Klingon in the paper and it stuck with me for months.

0:08:440:08:47

Now I get to use that information in a quiz environment. Wonderful.

0:08:470:08:50

Well, you nailed it, because the Shadow Health Minister Darren Millar

0:08:500:08:53

asked for details of UFO sightings at Cardiff Airport

0:08:530:08:56

and a Welsh government spokesman responded with this.

0:08:560:08:59

Look at your screens.

0:08:590:09:01

Literally, that's what they sent back in an official correspondence,

0:09:010:09:04

which, in full, translates as, "The Minister will reply in due course.

0:09:040:09:09

"However, this is a non-devolved matter."

0:09:090:09:12

-Fair enough.

-LAUGHTER

0:09:120:09:14

Eggsy, of course, you did a series called The Unexplainers,

0:09:140:09:17

which was looking at unexplained phenomena around Wales.

0:09:170:09:20

-What was your favourite mystery?

-All sorts of things.

0:09:200:09:23

Big cats, ghosts, aliens.

0:09:230:09:25

For me, Berwyn Mountain Range, '70s, something happened.

0:09:250:09:29

There was a massive crash.

0:09:290:09:30

I think it was an alien spaceship, although I didn't quite find out.

0:09:300:09:34

But, from what I know, something terrible did happen there.

0:09:340:09:37

I wanted to find... Basically, I wanted to find a bit of wreckage

0:09:370:09:40

from a spaceship with a helmet attached and, when you sat

0:09:400:09:43

in the seat and the helmet went on, you got extra powers.

0:09:430:09:46

-I didn't find that but I got tonsillitis.

-Ooh!

0:09:460:09:49

Tell me about the tonsillitis because you think this is significant.

0:09:490:09:52

I'm digging deep, I'm researching for the people, right?

0:09:520:09:55

I'm going...Honestly, guys! I'm trying to find out the facts.

0:09:550:09:59

I think I got so close to finding out what crashed

0:09:590:10:01

on the Berwyn Mountain that, obviously,

0:10:010:10:04

don't mock me now, obviously, someone has come along

0:10:040:10:07

put a bit of tonsillitis powder in my drink,

0:10:070:10:09

given me tonsillitis to throw me off.

0:10:090:10:12

-Do you think this is the government?

-Yeah.

0:10:120:10:14

There's a book, The Dyfed Enigma, about alien sightings in West Wales

0:10:140:10:17

-in the late '70s.

-Yes!

0:10:170:10:19

There's a great paragraph in that where this farmer, he's drunk,

0:10:190:10:22

he's on the way back from the pub, it's midnight,

0:10:220:10:25

he's walking home hammered, and he sees an alien and they say...

0:10:250:10:29

-WEST WALIAN ACCENT:

-"He was stood there, he was all googly eyes

0:10:290:10:32

"and silver and green, coming out of a spaceship."

0:10:320:10:35

"Wow! So an ambassador from another race?"

0:10:350:10:38

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

0:10:380:10:39

"So what did you do?" "I smacked it, didn't I?"

0:10:390:10:42

Oh, I love it. It's very exciting. It's very good.

0:10:420:10:46

Let's have a quick look at your VT, Eggs, from The Unexplainers.

0:10:460:10:49

Everyone have a look at their screens.

0:10:490:10:51

-Something has just come on.

-A strong response.

0:11:050:11:07

Will you turn that off, please?

0:11:070:11:09

-Something is trying to communicate via the torch.

-That's weird.

0:11:090:11:12

That's really fascinating. Wow.

0:11:120:11:14

If that's a male called George, can you turn it off for me?

0:11:140:11:16

It's gone off again.

0:11:160:11:17

You're obviously strong enough to turn the torch on and off.

0:11:170:11:20

Could you touch one of the boys in the room?

0:11:200:11:23

John or Mike.

0:11:230:11:24

Above the waist.

0:11:250:11:27

LAUGHTER

0:11:270:11:29

The answer to the story that we had, and Eggsy was commenting on,

0:11:350:11:40

is a story that the Welsh government responded to a question

0:11:400:11:43

from an AM about UFOs in Klingon.

0:11:430:11:45

Unfortunately, the AM in question only had GCSE Klingon and so could

0:11:450:11:49

only ask the way to the swimming pool or say that he likes coffee.

0:11:490:11:52

LAUGHTER

0:11:520:11:54

It's estimated that there are between 20 and 30 fluent speakers of Klingon

0:11:540:11:58

in the world.

0:11:580:12:00

Although, to be fair, it is hard to spread the language

0:12:000:12:03

when you're a virgin.

0:12:030:12:05

LAUGHTER

0:12:050:12:07

And at the end of that round,

0:12:120:12:14

I can reveal that Team Miles is in the lead.

0:12:140:12:17

APPLAUSE

0:12:170:12:19

OK, on to round two.

0:12:240:12:26

Our next round is called, Can't See The Celebrity For The Trees.

0:12:260:12:29

We're going to show you some well-known Welsh people

0:12:290:12:32

and you have to say who they are but, to make it more difficult,

0:12:320:12:35

they're hiding behind some Christmas trees.

0:12:350:12:37

Also, one or two may not be Welsh.

0:12:370:12:39

And the first question goes to you, Owen.

0:12:390:12:42

Who is this person hiding behind a tree?

0:12:420:12:45

It looks like Shirley Bassey.

0:12:460:12:48

Ooh! It's not.

0:12:480:12:50

BUZZER You are allowed to... Benny?

0:12:500:12:53

It's Catherine Zeta-Jones.

0:12:530:12:54

Well, let's see if it is. Can we reveal the trees?

0:12:540:12:58

-Nice Swansea girl.

-It is Catherine Zeta-Jones.

0:13:000:13:03

Well done, Benny.

0:13:030:13:04

APPLAUSE

0:13:040:13:05

OK, Nic, you're up next.

0:13:070:13:10

Who's this hiding amongst the Christmas trees?

0:13:100:13:12

-What?

-Come on. That's a bit harsh.

0:13:140:13:16

You do get a chance - you can reveal one of the trees

0:13:160:13:19

if you don't get it straight away.

0:13:190:13:22

Who's that, Nic?

0:13:220:13:24

I'm looking like this as if I'm going to see around the tree.

0:13:250:13:29

Anyone can buzz in. It's open season now.

0:13:290:13:31

BUZZER

0:13:310:13:33

-Elis James.

-Is that the actor Matthew Rhys?

-No.

0:13:330:13:36

-Eggsy.

-He's not Welsh but is it Eamonn Holmes?

-No.

0:13:370:13:41

-Owen Money.

-Max Boyce.

-No.

0:13:410:13:43

-Miles Jupp.

-Is it Zammo from Grange Hill?

0:13:440:13:47

-Good answer.

-No.

0:13:470:13:49

-NIC:

-Oh, it's, erm...! It's Ryan...

0:13:490:13:52

Yeah. Wiggly hands? Ryan wiggly hands.

0:13:530:13:56

Wales captain, double Grand Slam winner, British Lion...

0:13:560:13:59

-It's Ryan Jones.

-It is Ryan Jones, yes, it is.

0:13:590:14:02

APPLAUSE

0:14:020:14:04

-But you like your rugby, don't you?

-I love my rugby, yes.

0:14:060:14:09

And you, of course, are probably best known

0:14:090:14:12

for playing Megan in BBC Scrum 4.

0:14:120:14:14

Obviously, you can't recognise me without my giant daffodil.

0:14:140:14:18

Well, here's the thing, you were the first person to wear the daffodil.

0:14:180:14:21

-I was.

-You're the daffodil lady?!

-Yes!

0:14:210:14:24

For crying out loud, I absolutely hate those daffodils.

0:14:240:14:28

It's nothing to do... I... It's nothing to do with me!

0:14:280:14:31

What was your favourite moment from the series? Did you have one?

0:14:310:14:35

-I think probably getting proposed to.

-Let's have a look.

0:14:350:14:38

-TANNOY:

-And now, if you look at the big screen,

0:14:400:14:42

I think Dan has a message for Megan.

0:14:420:14:47

"Megan, will you marry me?"

0:14:500:14:52

Is that a yes or a no?

0:14:550:14:59

Yes, that was Nicola on Scrum 4.

0:15:090:15:11

APPLAUSE

0:15:110:15:13

Well, if you wouldn't mind just popping these on.

0:15:130:15:17

Then, if you could take one and pass them on.

0:15:170:15:19

Eggs, take one and pass one to Owen.

0:15:190:15:23

And just to be respectful of the nationality difference,

0:15:230:15:27

pass that one to Miles - that's a red rose.

0:15:270:15:31

-This is lovely.

-You know how to do it well.

0:15:310:15:33

Nic, show... Would you like to talk Eggsy through how to wear a daffodil?

0:15:330:15:39

-You're right there.

-Benny, you look lovely!

-Thank you. So do you.

0:15:400:15:43

Look at Owen Money. Look at the audience.

0:15:430:15:46

APPLAUSE

0:15:460:15:48

Here we go. With the Six Nations only a few weeks away,

0:15:480:15:51

we thought it would be a good idea to get you in the mood by wearing

0:15:510:15:55

daffodil hats or, Miles, a rose, because he's English.

0:15:550:15:58

Daffodil related question.

0:15:580:16:01

Why, in the spring of this year, did supermarkets get asked to remove

0:16:010:16:04

daffodils out of the produce section? BUZZER

0:16:040:16:07

-Eggsy.

-They were getting ready for Christmas.

0:16:070:16:10

LAUGHTER

0:16:100:16:12

No. BUZZER

0:16:120:16:14

-Miles Jupp.

-Teenagers were overdosing on them.

0:16:140:16:17

Well, I'm going to give you that, because they are poisonous

0:16:170:16:20

and people were afraid they might be confused with a type of vegetable.

0:16:200:16:23

So that's the correct answer. Miles Jupp.

0:16:230:16:26

Yes, what happened was, in February,

0:16:260:16:28

health officials asked supermarkets to keep daffodils away from food,

0:16:280:16:32

worried people would mistake them for vegetables.

0:16:320:16:35

Daffodils contain toxic chemicals which can cause vomiting,

0:16:350:16:38

cramps and the dawning realisation that you've just eaten a daffodil.

0:16:380:16:42

Take your daffodils off now.

0:16:430:16:45

On to the next celebrity hiding in the trees. This one's for Eggsy.

0:16:450:16:49

Right, OK.

0:16:490:16:51

Can I ask to remove a branch, please.

0:16:510:16:54

Come on!

0:16:540:16:55

LAUGHTER

0:16:550:16:57

Hang on a minute. Right, can I ask for another branch, please?

0:16:580:17:03

-I'll take another branch, please.

-OK.

0:17:030:17:05

-Oh!

-It's James Dean Bradfield from the Manics.

0:17:050:17:08

-James Dean Bradfield, the Manic Street preachers.

-Wonderful.

0:17:080:17:11

APPLAUSE

0:17:110:17:13

Benny, you're next up. Who's your person hidden behind the trees?

0:17:140:17:19

No, I can't see any eyes. We need some eyes.

0:17:200:17:22

-OK, any good to you?

-No.

-Just another eye would be good.

0:17:220:17:26

-Do you want to take another bit of tree away?

-Yes, please.

0:17:260:17:30

Oh! I know. She's the leader of Plaid Cymru. Leanne Wood.

0:17:320:17:36

It is Leanne Wood. Well done. Let's see.

0:17:360:17:39

APPLAUSE

0:17:390:17:41

Elis.

0:17:410:17:43

Here's yours.

0:17:430:17:44

-Well...

-LAUGHTER.

0:17:450:17:48

-Rhys Ifans.

-No.

0:17:480:17:50

-Do you want to take away some tree?

-Yeah, go on, then.

0:17:500:17:53

-Oh, come on!

-I tell you what, do you want a clue?

0:17:540:17:57

-Yeah, go on, then.

-I think it might help you a great deal.

0:17:570:18:01

-Go for it.

-If I said to you he is Wales' only A-list celebrity.

0:18:010:18:05

Right!

0:18:050:18:07

-Is it Sir Derek Brockway?

-Shall we see?

0:18:070:18:10

It is. APPLAUSE

0:18:130:18:15

It is Derek Brockway.

0:18:150:18:17

Mr Miles Jupp, who is this?

0:18:180:18:21

Gosh.

0:18:210:18:23

-Yeah, it's a man.

-Correct.

0:18:230:18:26

-A grey-haired gentleman.

-Yeah. You've worked with him.

0:18:270:18:31

Oh, is it George Clooney?

0:18:310:18:33

Ooh! Shall we see?

0:18:330:18:36

APPLAUSE

0:18:380:18:40

It is George Clooney. George Clooney.

0:18:400:18:42

Great shout, Miles Jupp.

0:18:440:18:46

Did he actually personally direct you in the film Monuments Men?

0:18:460:18:49

He was the director so if you're directing the film,

0:18:490:18:52

-you pretty much have to...

-I know, I know!

0:18:520:18:55

What I'm angling for, did you meet him?

0:18:550:18:58

He directed a scene that was me and him.

0:18:580:19:00

-Really?

-It's ludicrously exciting.

0:19:000:19:03

Yeah, we had a 45 minute chat at one point

0:19:030:19:06

because something was being set up and we were waiting to shoot

0:19:060:19:09

-and that's what happens.

-What did you talk about?

0:19:090:19:12

He told me anecdotes about hosting Barack Obama fundraisers

0:19:120:19:15

at his house and I let him into a few

0:19:150:19:18

of the behind-the-scenes secrets on Balamory.

0:19:180:19:20

LAUGHTER

0:19:200:19:22

And at the end of that round,

0:19:260:19:28

I can tell you that Team Miles is still in the lead.

0:19:280:19:31

APPLAUSE

0:19:310:19:33

So this is a round we are calling team bonding

0:19:350:19:38

because this round is all about the staple of Christmas TV,

0:19:380:19:41

which is Bond movies or, more specifically, Bond themes.

0:19:410:19:44

Just to make it a smidge harder, we are going to play the song backwards

0:19:440:19:48

so it's the artist and the song and it's a Bond theme. Here we go.

0:19:480:19:52

JUMBLED MUSIC

0:19:520:19:54

BUZZER Nicky Reynolds.

0:19:570:19:59

-It is For Your Eyes Only.

-Correct.

0:19:590:20:02

-Sheena Easton.

-Correct.

0:20:020:20:04

APPLAUSE

0:20:040:20:06

# I never felt until I looked at you... #

0:20:080:20:12

Yes, it is. Sheena Easton, 1981, For Your Eyes Only.

0:20:120:20:15

Congratulations.

0:20:150:20:17

I spent years playing records backwards to find

0:20:170:20:20

-the devil's voice when I was a kid.

-This could be your round!

0:20:200:20:23

-Especially Sheena Easton.

-LAUGHTER

0:20:230:20:25

The answer is Sheena Easton's For Your Eyes Only,

0:20:250:20:29

which, to date, is the only Bond theme to share its name with

0:20:290:20:32

the warning sign on a box of contact lenses.

0:20:320:20:34

LAUGHTER

0:20:340:20:36

On to the next one.

0:20:370:20:39

JUMBLED MUSIC

0:20:390:20:41

BUZZER Owen Money.

0:20:440:20:46

Shirley Bassey?

0:20:460:20:48

It's not Shirley Bassey. BUZZER

0:20:480:20:51

-Nicky Reynolds.

-It's You Only Live Twice.

-Yeah.

0:20:510:20:54

And I can't remember who sings it.

0:20:540:20:57

-# You only live twice... #

-Very famous father.

0:20:570:21:00

-BUZZER Owen Money.

-Nancy Sinatra.

0:21:000:21:02

Yes, it is Nancy Sinatra. Owen has got it.

0:21:020:21:05

-Surely a point each.

-Share the points.

0:21:050:21:07

-No.

-Nic got the song, he got the name.

0:21:070:21:11

Here's the thing... Oh, no, you're getting stuffed.

0:21:110:21:13

-OK, you can have a point. Share the points.

-Share the points.

0:21:130:21:17

APPLAUSE

0:21:170:21:19

Let's have a listen just to prove it was.

0:21:190:21:22

# Make one dream come true

0:21:220:21:25

# You only live twice... #

0:21:250:21:28

OK, next one up. Who is this and what's the name of the song?

0:21:280:21:32

JUMBLED MUSIC

0:21:330:21:36

BUZZER Elis James.

0:21:380:21:41

-It's Duran Duran.

-Yes, it is.

-Yeah, yeah.

0:21:410:21:45

And it's called...

0:21:450:21:47

Living Daylights.

0:21:480:21:51

No!

0:21:510:21:53

BUZZER

0:21:530:21:54

-Miles Jupp.

-It's A View To A Kill.

-It is A View To A Kill.

0:21:540:21:58

APPLAUSE

0:21:580:21:59

Let's hear it back.

0:22:000:22:02

# Meeting you, with a view... #

0:22:020:22:05

-They haven't aged at all, Duran Duran.

-No.

-Haven't aged at all.

0:22:050:22:08

1985, Duran Duran, A View To A Kill. OK, here's another one.

JUMBLED MUSIC

0:22:110:22:13

BUZZER Nicky Reynolds.

0:22:130:22:16

-Erm...Shirley Bassey.

-Yeah.

0:22:160:22:19

-Goldfinger.

-No.

0:22:190:22:20

I'm going to hand it over. BUZZER

0:22:220:22:24

-Owen Money.

-Diamonds Are Forever.

0:22:240:22:26

Diamonds Are Forever. Correct.

0:22:260:22:28

I'm jumping the gun.

0:22:280:22:30

1971. Let's hear it again just to prove it is right.

0:22:310:22:34

# They won't leave in the night

0:22:340:22:36

# I've no fear that they might desert me

0:22:360:22:41

# Diamonds are forever... #

0:22:440:22:47

Owen Money is a sort of fox in the box goal poacher

0:22:470:22:51

-who just stays on the line and then waits...

-Taps them in.

0:22:510:22:55

-The Swans could do with somebody like me!

-LAUGHTER

0:22:550:22:58

OK, here's another one.

0:22:580:23:01

Who is this?

0:23:010:23:02

BUZZER Nicky Reynolds.

0:23:020:23:04

-Tom Jones, Thunderball.

-Yeah, it is.

0:23:040:23:07

APPLAUSE

0:23:070:23:09

Let's listen to it back.

0:23:100:23:13

# So he strikes like thunder... #

0:23:130:23:16

-Well done, Nicky.

-I love Tom.

0:23:160:23:19

-1965.

-Brilliant.

0:23:190:23:21

The answer there was Thunderball by Tom Jones.

0:23:220:23:25

So, a little bonus question.

0:23:250:23:27

Which was the only Bond song to get to number one in the UK charts?

0:23:270:23:32

BUZZER

0:23:320:23:33

-Miles Jupp.

-GoldenEye.

-Incorrect.

0:23:330:23:35

-Benny.

-Sam Smith.

0:23:350:23:38

What was the name of the song?

0:23:380:23:40

-Erm...?

-I am going to give it to you, Benny.

0:23:400:23:42

It was Writing's On The Wall, the name of the song.

0:23:420:23:45

Shall we have a little listen?

0:23:450:23:47

# I have to risk it all

0:23:470:23:52

# Because the writing's on the wall... #

0:23:530:23:58

Yes, the only Bond theme to get to number one in the UK

0:23:590:24:02

is Sam Smith's Writing's On The Wall,

0:24:020:24:04

which was released with the B-side, You Try Finding A Rhyme For Spectre.

0:24:040:24:08

LAUGHTER

0:24:080:24:10

OK, on to the next round.

0:24:100:24:11

One of our panellists has a job which doesn't stop for Christmas.

0:24:110:24:15

Isn't that right, Benny?

0:24:150:24:16

This time of year is probably when we tune into the weather the most.

0:24:160:24:20

We have a weather forecaster here from BBC Radio Wales and BBC Wales.

0:24:200:24:24

It's Behnaz Akhgar.

0:24:240:24:26

APPLAUSE

0:24:260:24:28

Now, Benny, here's the thing.

0:24:280:24:31

Is it true when you do the weather that you haven't got an autocue,

0:24:310:24:35

you're just doing it from memory?

0:24:350:24:37

Every time I get an e-mail or a tweet,

0:24:370:24:39

people saying, I love it when you read the weather,

0:24:390:24:42

I just want to write back and say, I don't read the weather,

0:24:420:24:45

I actually put the weather together myself and learn it and then...

0:24:450:24:48

-You control the weather?

-I control it, yes.

0:24:480:24:51

I'm planning snow for Christmas.

0:24:510:24:53

I always think of an opening line and a closing line

0:24:530:24:56

-and the bits in the middle just fall into place.

-Wow.

0:24:560:24:59

Using that as a theory, we are going to play a little game.

0:24:590:25:02

We've got a state of the art weather presenting facility in the studio

0:25:020:25:05

and, Benny, if you could show Elis and Miles how it's done

0:25:050:25:09

so that they can learn and then copy you and play our next game.

0:25:090:25:13

So, Benny, if you would like to go over there

0:25:130:25:16

and if you would like to go with her, give them a round of applause!

0:25:160:25:19

Right, guys. It's really simple.

0:25:280:25:30

All you have to think of is a good opening line

0:25:300:25:32

and a good closing line and the bits in the middle will just

0:25:320:25:35

fall into place, and I know you can't see anything behind you.

0:25:350:25:38

Just have a rough go at guessing the Pembrokeshire

0:25:380:25:40

and Anglesey is and you'll be fine.

0:25:400:25:43

OK, on to the weather.

0:25:430:25:45

Yes, good evening, it is going to be another wet couple of days

0:25:450:25:48

ahead, quite a cloudy few days, too

0:25:480:25:50

but feeling mild for the time of year so tonight, yes,

0:25:500:25:53

we do have quite a bit of mist and fog around,

0:25:530:25:55

a few showers coming in from the west.

0:25:550:25:57

Overnight temperatures getting down to about 9C

0:25:570:26:00

and then we've got more persistent rain heading this way

0:26:000:26:03

from the west as we go into tomorrow

0:26:030:26:04

and tomorrow afternoon, too, so grab your umbrella as you head out.

0:26:040:26:08

Highs of around 13C. Blustery conditions.

0:26:080:26:11

Over the next coming days, mainly unsettled,

0:26:110:26:14

but becoming milder by the time we get to Monday.

0:26:140:26:17

Ladies and gentlemen, Behnaz Akhgar.

0:26:170:26:19

APPLAUSE

0:26:190:26:21

-OK, so...

-If we...

0:26:230:26:25

-The way this is going to work, Elis, you're going to go first.

-Yes.

0:26:250:26:28

Comment on only the types of weather,

0:26:280:26:30

-but you've got to point to the locations on the map, OK?

-OK.

-OK.

0:26:300:26:35

-Tell me...tell me when.

-OK, are you ready?

-Yes.

-Three, two, one.

0:26:350:26:40

-Do the weather!

-Good evening, er humans... Wales.

0:26:400:26:44

Er, it's weather time. Here we go.

0:26:440:26:46

Right, Pontrhydfendigaid is cloudy, is it rainy or...

0:26:460:26:50

And it's drifting over to the west. No, that's east. Carmarthen, oh!

0:26:500:26:54

My parents live in Carmarthen. Rain, loads of wind, um, oh, it's bad.

0:26:540:26:57

It's a bad day. It's cold. It's changing. It's...

0:26:570:27:02

I haven't got my glasses on. Eight, nine, ten, 11, ice. Snowing bad...

0:27:020:27:07

Badly. I would hate this. Oh, right! For crying out loud!

0:27:070:27:13

Ready Brek! There's Ready Brek everywhere!

0:27:130:27:16

Anyway, um, I haven't got my glasses on. It's ten and 13.

0:27:160:27:22

Well done, Wales for being weathered on, in a way. Thank you.

0:27:220:27:28

Elis James, well done, Elis.

0:27:280:27:29

Oh, wow! You were amazing.

0:27:290:27:31

OK. All right, Miles. If you'd like to step in.

0:27:310:27:35

-And tell me when you're ready.

-Well, I'm not ready but let's go for it.

0:27:350:27:38

OK. Three, two, one. Do the weather.

0:27:380:27:41

Well, it's the weather, isn't it?

0:27:410:27:43

So I wonder what it'll be in Wales tonight.

0:27:430:27:46

Right, it's um, it's... Crikey. So in Newt...

0:27:460:27:50

Over there, it's quite a sort of wet round here, snowing up there.

0:27:500:27:55

The Nazis...the Nazis are coming.

0:27:550:27:56

And they've gone round, they've gone around.

0:27:560:27:58

They're coming the other way. So many years...

0:27:580:28:00

Completely unacceptable behaviour from that boy.

0:28:000:28:03

Right, the choirs.

0:28:030:28:04

There's going to be choirs in Wales, singing traditional songs,

0:28:040:28:08

I imagine. Lots of men singing in harmony.

0:28:080:28:11

Icicles will be landing in the north of the country and then something...

0:28:110:28:15

Hail, hail of course. The Nazis have arrived. That's what's happened.

0:28:150:28:19

Er, it's going to be a lot of ping-pong

0:28:190:28:21

in the Cardiff area and highs and lows, lots of depression,

0:28:210:28:25

lots of people very exhorted.

0:28:250:28:27

Um, pretty much an average day in...

0:28:270:28:30

in Wales and um, don't have nightmares.

0:28:300:28:32

LAUGHTER

0:28:320:28:35

Well done. Come back to your seats.

0:28:370:28:40

Outstanding effort.

0:28:430:28:44

Outstanding effort.

0:28:460:28:49

Well done. I think you did absolutely brilliantly, both of you there,

0:28:490:28:52

fantastic work but I think on balance, just

0:28:520:28:54

because they're behind, I'm going to give the points to Team Elis.

0:28:540:28:57

Well done.

0:28:570:28:58

So our next round is a quickfire round, guys.

0:29:010:29:04

It's fingers on the buzzers. Here we go.

0:29:040:29:06

The theme is about Christmas movies so films about Christmas or

0:29:060:29:09

films that get shown around Christmas time.

0:29:090:29:12

I'm going to give you a quick summary of a plot

0:29:120:29:14

and all you have to do is say what the name of the movie is.

0:29:140:29:17

Are we waiting till you've said it?

0:29:170:29:18

Yeah, you've got to wait until the end of the clue,

0:29:180:29:20

so get your fingers ready. OK, here we go.
