0:00:12 > 0:00:13APPLAUSE
0:00:13 > 0:00:16Hello, and welcome to Debatable, the quiz show where talk is cheap,
0:00:16 > 0:00:19but celebrity chat can win a contestant money.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22Today, one player must answer a series of tricky questions
0:00:22 > 0:00:26to try to bag our jackpot of £2,000.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28But they're not on their own,
0:00:28 > 0:00:30as they'll also have a panel of celebrity brainboxes
0:00:30 > 0:00:32debating their way to the answer.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Will they help, or will they hinder?
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Well, that's Debatable.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37Let's meet them.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39On today's show, we have...
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Retired MP and writer...
0:00:42 > 0:00:44We have broadcaster...
0:00:45 > 0:00:47..and comedian...
0:00:47 > 0:00:48APPLAUSE
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Let's see who you're going to be helping out today.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55It is time to meet our contestant.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57It is AJ from Llandrillo.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02- How are you doing?- How are you? - Good to see you.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Tell us a little bit about yourself.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06My name's AJ from Llandrillo in north Wales.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08I got injured in the Royal Navy.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Since then, I've been doing a variety of disability sports.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13So talk us through your disciplines.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16I do archery, seated discus and shot put,
0:01:16 > 0:01:19wheelchair basketball - to name a few.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22And what standard have we got to with this, AJ?
0:01:22 > 0:01:26I'm currently having trials for the GB wheelchair tennis team
0:01:26 > 0:01:29for Tokyo Paralympics, Warrior Games in America,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32and I have also won a gold medal in the Invictus Games.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Wow.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40You see, THIS is what a winner looks like, OK?
0:01:40 > 0:01:44- This is what a winner looks like. - Right.- OK, so no pressure.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Let's see if they can get up to the gold medal-winning standard
0:01:48 > 0:01:51as we get this Debatable show on the road and play Round One.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57OK, AJ, this round is multiple choice.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Each question has four possible answers, but only one is correct.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Now, apparently, helping you find the correct answer
0:02:04 > 0:02:05will be our panel.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08This be the plan - will you go with what they say,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11or will you go your own way? It is entirely up to you.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15There are two questions in this round and each correct answer will
0:02:15 > 0:02:18bank you £200 into your prize pot that you'll be playing for
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- today in the final debate.- OK.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21- All righty? Best of luck.- Thank you.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Let's get cracking, here's your first question.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44I put a slight Italian accent on top of those. LAUGHTER
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- I like it.- I got slightly carried away there, AJ.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50So what are your first thoughts for this one?
0:02:50 > 0:02:55I'm thinking a ciabatta is sort of slipper-shaped.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Gnocchi are quite small, but it's gut instinct to begin with.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Ciabatta's sort of my favourite.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03OK, that's your first thought.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- Yeah.- We will turn it over to
0:03:05 > 0:03:07the wise sages that are our panel.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08Your debate starts now.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Well, it ain't spaghetti.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11No. Where are you going?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Fortunatamente, io parlo una piccola quantita di Italia.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16E la questione, ciabatta.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Decisamente.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Mange tout, Rodney. Mange tout.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- It's ciabatta.- OK, you're nailed-on?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24It's not...
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- Yeah, it's ciabatta.- Do you want to argue?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Any point arguing?- I don't argue remotely.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30If you're 100% sure, like that,
0:03:30 > 0:03:33don't let's argue ourselves out of the right answer.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34It's slipper-shaped.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36It's not the word that's used for slipper,
0:03:36 > 0:03:40but I know from eating over there and stuff, I'd be 99.9% certain.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42- You were 100% certain just now, so stick with it.- Yes.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43- Stick with it.- Ciabatta.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46From the power of our Italian correspondent, AJ,
0:03:46 > 0:03:48we are fully behind ciabatta.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52So, Russell, straight out of the blocks there with some Italian.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- I had no idea what he was talking about, maybe you did...- Nor me, no.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- ..but he had confidence in it. - Yeah.- That's the thing.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00The panel going along with Russell.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02I think that's a good call.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05It's slipper-shaped, and his Italian is far better than mine,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08which is non-existent, so I think we'll go for ciabatta.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12OK, let's see if we can get you up and running with £200.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Which of these Italian foods translates into the English
0:04:15 > 0:04:17as "slipper"? Is it ciabatta?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Of course it is. There we go.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Well done. It refers to the shape of the loaf.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Simple as that. Up and running,
0:04:32 > 0:04:36£200 in the bank, well played.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- If only they could all be this simple, AJ.- Yeah.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Here we go. Let's see if we can get it up to 400
0:04:44 > 0:04:46with our next question.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- You ever watch any Blackadder?- Yes. I wouldn't say I was an avid fan,
0:05:08 > 0:05:10but I've watched quite a lot of it.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Anything jumping out there? - I know Elizabeth I WAS in,
0:05:13 > 0:05:16but the others, I think I'll have to see
0:05:16 > 0:05:18if there's some knowledge of
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Blackadder among the panel.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22It is a cunning plan, as we hand over to our panel.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- The debate starts now.- We've got a plan here, haven't we? Go on.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Well, I just wanted to ask a question,
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- cos I haven't watched Blackadder. - Right.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Was it all around the same period, or was it different periods?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34This is our cunning plan, right, we're going to run you through
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- the historical periods...- OK.- ..and you tell us if you think...
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Going to access the historical oracle.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41But I think AJ is right about Elizabeth I.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- I think that was Miranda Richardson. - And Walter Raleigh, I think.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Walter Raleigh was in Blackadder, definitely.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- Sir Walter Raleigh, definitely in. - It's the other two.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53So the next series was the regent, George IV.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55So my question to you is - Duke of Wellington, Isaac Newton,
0:05:55 > 0:05:57would that be coeval?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I don't think it would be coeval.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01I think that's more likely to be Wellington.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I might be being dense, but I can't see Isaac Newton in Blackadder.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- But then I might...- My next question is, when does Isaac Newton...?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Well, Isaac Newton had an apple falling on his head. I mean,
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- it's the sort of thing you might do. - Is he the 1600s?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14I thought he was round about then,
0:06:14 > 0:06:17which would put him well pre-Wellington.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21And it would put him with the Charleses and the Jameses.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22It would put him with the Stuarts.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24I think if Isaac Newton is the 1600s,
0:06:24 > 0:06:27there isn't a Blackadder series set in the 1600s.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Apart from...- None with the Stuarts. - None with the Stuarts.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33So we're saying Isaac Newton is the one who's not in it?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35We could look like absolute goons here, couldn't we?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37We could - we could look real fools.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40So Russell's wonderful historical deduction,
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- Ann's historical knowledge. - The knowledge.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44The knowledge of Widdecombe,
0:06:44 > 0:06:47that Isaac Newton was not in Blackadder.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50So our panel have gone for Isaac Newton.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Anything in there to help you?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Yes, I was thinking while they were talking and...
0:06:55 > 0:06:58with the Blackadder series, there is very much
0:06:58 > 0:07:00connections between royalty.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Walter Raleigh and the Duke of Wellington are connected to royalty,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06so I'm going to go with the panel again,
0:07:06 > 0:07:09and I think Isaac Newton is the odd one out.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14OK, we don't think that Isaac Newton was in an episode of Blackadder.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15For £200, is it the correct answer?
0:07:21 > 0:07:23It is the correct answer! Well done. APPLAUSE
0:07:27 > 0:07:29APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH
0:07:29 > 0:07:32What an amazing bit of deduction that was. Well played, panel.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Never seen an episode of Blackadder, but she knew the answer!
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Isaac Newton lived in the historical period between Blackadder's
0:07:40 > 0:07:42second and third series.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- Ah!- Blackadder One is the only Blackadder series
0:07:45 > 0:07:49not to feature Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie or Miranda Richardson.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Well done, everybody.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52It means, AJ, you're up to £400.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54APPLAUSE
0:07:58 > 0:08:00OK, let's play Round Two.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04AJ, Round Two is our picture round.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07All you have to do is to place three pictures in the correct order.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09There are two questions in each round,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12and each correct answer is worth £300.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14You've had a 100% record so far.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Our panel have had a 100% record so far.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Let's see if we can keep this rolling.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Here comes your first question.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48It's a culture question, and that's why I will be no use whatsoever.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- What are you thinking?- I've never actually seen the three paintings.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55I'm thinking that Constable, with a landscape,
0:08:55 > 0:08:59is going to be a smaller painting. We shall see.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01OK, you don't need to make a decision now.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Let's see if our panel can shed any light on this.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- Your debate starts now.- I'm sure I've seen some Botticelli
0:09:06 > 0:09:09in Florence in the Uffizi museum.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I think...gigantic.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13I've seen two of them, but The Birth of Venus by Botticelli...
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Were you wearing ciabattas at the time(?)- Yeah. I can't remember
0:09:16 > 0:09:19where I saw Botticelli. I think it might be in the National Gallery.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21And if I'm remembering correctly,
0:09:21 > 0:09:23this is about 10-12 foot.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24I mean, you stand in front of it,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26you can't see it when you get up
0:09:26 > 0:09:28close to it. Starry Night I saw in Amsterdam,
0:09:28 > 0:09:32but I'm pretty sure it's not gigantic.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33It's this.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36AJ, you could not have a better man on the panel for this question.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39The Hay Wain, you would think Constable had it on an easel
0:09:39 > 0:09:42at the site, which would lead you to think, "How big can it be,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44"if it's on an easel being painted in situ?"
0:09:44 > 0:09:46The same with Starry Night, of course.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49So what are you proposing, Russell?
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Botticelli has got to be the biggest.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53The Italians didn't really do miniatures, did they?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Let's get Botticelli there. - Confident Botticelli's the biggest.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I haven't seen the Hay Wain in real life, so it's going to be a guess.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Starry Night is not a massive picture.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- It's not.- But you say it's like...?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Not massive, but it's at least like that.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Then it's got to be bigger than Hay Wain, hasn't it?
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- Possibly.- I've seen Hay Wain on a postcard,
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- but that doesn't help at all, does it?- No, no.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Yeah, I mean, that's the best guess I can make,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15but it is a guess.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17So we've got a man on our panel who's seen two of these
0:10:17 > 0:10:21in real life. So, we're going to go for Constable being the smallest,
0:10:21 > 0:10:25followed by Van Gogh's and big old boy Botticelli at the end.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26I'm sure that is - it's massive.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28This is a great bit of fortune here, AJ.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30So what we're saying is that
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Russell has actually seen The Birth of Venus.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Not literally.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35It was ages ago.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39So what I'm thinking is, I'm agreeing with Botticelli,
0:10:39 > 0:10:44cos he's a large-scale painter. And Hay Wain, as Ann said,
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I think he was probably painting
0:10:46 > 0:10:48it at the side of the Hay Wain
0:10:48 > 0:10:51on an A3-size canvas. So I think
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I'm going to stick with the panel.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55OK.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57You are agreeing with the panel.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59So far, you've all had a 100% record.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02For £300.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Is that the correct order, from smallest to largest?
0:11:10 > 0:11:11AUDIENCE GROANS
0:11:11 > 0:11:13It's the wrong order.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Let's see what the correct order actually is.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Ah, it's the other way around.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Starry Night was the smallest,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23then the Hay Wain, then The Birth of Venus.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Unfortunately, AJ, that means no money for that question,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28but still plenty of opportunities to get it up.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30You still have £400 in the prize pot.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36OK, AJ, let's have a little look at question two -
0:11:36 > 0:11:37here it comes.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52Who is looking oldest there to you?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56I think Lord Sugar is looking the oldest.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Whether he works hardest, I don't know.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02And Richard Branson being the youngest.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05You're thinking Branson, then Bill Gates, then Lord Sugar?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Panel, let's see if you can help this one.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10The debate starts now.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- Tricky, tricky.- I'm not convinced Branson is that young,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15because I can remember Branson
0:12:15 > 0:12:17being about when I was a graduate.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20And there were the airlines and everything,
0:12:20 > 0:12:22and I can remember him as a major character,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24certainly in the early '70s.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26'70s, right. So, he was probably born
0:12:26 > 0:12:29in the '50s, do you think? I think Bill Gates
0:12:29 > 0:12:33was a college dropout in the early '80s, so that...
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- COLLEGE dropout? - Yeah, college dropout.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36He didn't finish his computer degree.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38I'm pretty sure that was late '70s, early '80s.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- So he's younger than Branson? - It would put him 1960-ish.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44And I think Lord Sugar is older than that.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46You think Sugar might be the oldest?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48I think Sugar was born in, perhaps,
0:12:48 > 0:12:50like, late '40s?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53I interviewed him 18 months ago.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55He looked really fresh-faced.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57I wouldn't have said, if he'd have said to me he's 70,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- I would not have believed he was 70. - He's got to be nearly 70.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Why do you think that?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03He was already an established businessman
0:13:03 > 0:13:06when he launched Amstrad, which was the '80s.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10So, I think he was in his late-30s, early-40s in the '80s.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13I'm willing to gamble that his birthday is about 1946-1947.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16So it would be Gates, Branson, Sugar, on your analysis?
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- So Sugar the oldest. - I mean, this is guesswork.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21I'm happy to stick with that - are you happy to?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- I'm happy to.- Are you happy to stick with it?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- I am, yeah.- OK, so...
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- We don't really know the answer. - The result...shh!
0:13:28 > 0:13:31The result of that incredibly long discussion is that
0:13:31 > 0:13:33we are going to go, youngest first,
0:13:33 > 0:13:34we think Bill Gates,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36followed by Richard Branson,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39and the old man of the house is Lord Sugar.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Ann happy to admit that they're not sure,
0:13:42 > 0:13:45but that's the order they have come up with.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47So they don't think Branson is the youngest.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Yeah, from listening to what they were saying,
0:13:50 > 0:13:52I think Bill Gates...
0:13:52 > 0:13:54I actually remember the story about
0:13:54 > 0:13:55starting off in the garage
0:13:55 > 0:13:56and dropping out of college.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58So, that fits in with
0:13:58 > 0:14:00my knowledge of things.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Lord Sugar, I think, is the same age as my dad.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05He is 70 this year.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07I think I will go with the panel and change my mind,
0:14:07 > 0:14:09and we'll go with Bill Gates,
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Richard Branson and then Lord Sugar.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- So you're changing your mind? - Yes.- You're going with the panel.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- Yes.- For £300, is that the correct order?
0:14:19 > 0:14:20He can't be 71, Branson, come on.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24It is the correct order!
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- Well done.- Thank you.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Nice work once again from our panel.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Bill Gates born in 1955.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Richard Branson was born in 1950.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40And, Russell, Lord Sugar born in 1947.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42There you go. So, AJ,
0:14:42 > 0:14:45at the end of that round I can tell you that
0:14:45 > 0:14:47your prize pot is now up to £700.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Well done, sir.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50- Thank you very much.- Well played.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54OK, our panel performing very, very well.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56If one of them was standing out for you at this stage,
0:14:56 > 0:14:58who do you think it is?
0:14:58 > 0:15:02I think Russell is a fountain of knowledge. He is definitely good at this game.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05OK, well, there is still another round to play and there is still another £1,000 up for grabs
0:15:05 > 0:15:07as we play Round Three.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13AJ, in this round you will face questions that contain three statements
0:15:13 > 0:15:16that relate to a person, a place or a thing.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Only one of those statements is correct.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21It's up to you to try to find the correct one.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24There are two questions in this round and because it's our final round,
0:15:24 > 0:15:27were going to up the cash to £500 for every correct answer.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28So, best of luck.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Here we go. Here comes your first question of Round Three.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52- Hm. Mm.- Yeah.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55I know that they grow on a bush.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57So, I know that they don't grow on trees.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02The other two, I'll have to see if there is some knowledge from over
0:16:02 > 0:16:03there to make my decision.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06I think A is definitely not true.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09OK, you think that bananas don't grow on trees.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Let's see if our panel can narrow it down any further.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14The debate starts now.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Well, we grew bananas in Singapore.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Oh, that's a good start, banana woman.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20Banana woman.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25Although they looked like bushes, they do look like bushes,
0:16:25 > 0:16:27they were always referred to as trees.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- Banana trees.- Are they not shrubs?
0:16:29 > 0:16:32I'm sure I've had this question in a pub quiz before.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34I think it's technically a shrub.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37But so is a rhododendron, but you can refer to it as a tree,
0:16:37 > 0:16:39if it's not the shrub bush.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42All I'm saying is, we refer to them as trees. That's all I'm saying.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Yes. The other two facts, I completely have no clue.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- Well...- I know they've got lots of potassium.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Is it high potassium makes them radioactive?
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- I don't know. - No, gives you hyperkalemia.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- What about bamia?- I'm trying to work it out.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I've never heard that word in my life.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Bamia, I don't know what that is.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01I don't know where it's from.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03This is our least helpful debate so far.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06The radioactive thing is so silly it sounds plausible.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08So, right, come on. Let's find something definitive for AJ.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11I'm still going to stay with trees.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15But I'm quite happy to defer to you two.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Mine would be a complete blind guess, based on the silliness of it.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- Mm.- I'd go for radio...- Radioactive. - It's a radioactive food.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23The decision of the panel...
0:17:23 > 0:17:25LAUGHTER
0:17:25 > 0:17:27You can go with your own decision here.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29I think we're going to go...
0:17:29 > 0:17:30radioactive.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33OK, AJ -
0:17:33 > 0:17:38Ann's family used to grow banana trees or bushes in Malaysia,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41but they've gone for radioactive.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43The same as Russell - it's been in a quiz
0:17:43 > 0:17:46and that's why it's stuck in my mind.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47They're not trees.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Bamia, I've never heard of,
0:17:49 > 0:17:51and somewhere in the back of my mind,
0:17:51 > 0:17:53I don't know where it's come from,
0:17:53 > 0:17:55but I think I'm going to go with the panel.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- No!- I think radioactive is the...
0:17:58 > 0:18:00is the answer.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03So, once again, you are going with the panel.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05You haven't disagreed with our panel so far.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Our panel not particularly sure about this one, Dan.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Haven't a clue on this one.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11But are bananas radioactive?
0:18:11 > 0:18:12For £500.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Oh!
0:18:18 > 0:18:20APPLAUSE
0:18:20 > 0:18:22THEY LAUGH
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Bananas are radioactive
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- because of their high potassium content.- Oh, yeah.- See, I was right.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31They don't grow on trees.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34It's a giant herb which springs from an underground stem
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- to form a false trunk.- Ah!
0:18:37 > 0:18:40And bamia is a dish of okra.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45Well played. That's £500 added to your prize pot now, AJ,
0:18:45 > 0:18:47giving you a new total of £1,200.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Very nice work. Let's see if we can add another £500 to that
0:18:55 > 0:18:57with the next question.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Not my strongest subject.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22I've seen clips of Psycho and The Birds,
0:19:22 > 0:19:24but not the whole film.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27I think, at the moment, the Oscar is the favourite.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31But I shall see what my learned friends have to say.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Did you call them learned friends?
0:19:33 > 0:19:34LAUGHTER
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Friends, not learned.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39You're thinking that he may have won Best Director Oscar.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Let's see if we have any Hitchcock fans on the panel.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43The debate starts now.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45I covered the Oscars this year.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- Yeah.- And there's always that list that comes out
0:19:47 > 0:19:49of people who've been nominated and never won,
0:19:49 > 0:19:51and I'm sure he is on that list.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54He's had five, six nominations for Best Director,
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- but he was one of those who never won.- When you're saying sure,
0:19:57 > 0:19:59you mean that literally, not metaphorically? You're sure?
0:19:59 > 0:20:02He's won an Oscar, but I don't think he won Best Director.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04It was probably Best Picture or something.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- He's one of those who missed out. - I've watched a few of them.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09I've definitely watched a Hitchcock movie with a red-headed murderer
0:20:09 > 0:20:12who goes around strangling people, and I can see the red hair.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14So I'm almost sure that there are colour movies in there.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Yeah, I think some of his great works are black and white,
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- but there's definitely colour films. - Psycho was black and white,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22but I can see a scene from The Birds where there was red blood.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25So I don't think everything was always in black and white.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- It was colour. - It's got to be colour.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29The knighthood thing - say "Sir Alfred Hitchcock".
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- Sir Alfred Hitchcock.- No. Have you ever heard him referred to
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- as Sir Alfred?- No, but it actually sounds right.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38- Sir Alfred Hitchcock.- I've never heard that.- Sir Alfred Hitchcock.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40You keep saying it, but I'm telling you I've never heard it.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41LAUGHTER
0:20:41 > 0:20:44I'm 90% certain he is on that list of people
0:20:44 > 0:20:46who haven't won a Best Director Oscar.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50We know, pretty certain, that his films have been in colour.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52You're looking at me in that way as if to say,
0:20:52 > 0:20:54"What are you talking about, you fool?
0:20:54 > 0:20:57"He's clearly won a Best Director Oscar." Aren't you?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00No. I'm not going to say it's clear, cos if it was clear,
0:21:00 > 0:21:02I would have said it a long time ago.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04But it seems to me the most probable.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07I've seen the ginger murderer, you've seen the...
0:21:07 > 0:21:09You've definitely seen, not known of,
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- a ginger-headed man?- I went for the latest movie in the box set
0:21:12 > 0:21:15that I didn't watch immediately thinking it would be the best.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- And there was...- A red-headed man strangling people
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- in phone boxes and all sorts. - OK.- OK.- Was horrific.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23We are saying the true fact about Alfred Hitchcock is -
0:21:23 > 0:21:27forget about Best Director thing, forget about the colour films -
0:21:27 > 0:21:30he is Sir Alfred Hitchcock, we think.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32YOU think.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33LAUGHTER
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Was that of any use at all, AJ?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Er, jogged some memories for me.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42The clip of The Birds I've seen, I think, had colour in it.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45And if there's a list of people that haven't won,
0:21:45 > 0:21:49it seems probable that Sir Alfred Hitchcock would be on it.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- Ooooh!- Hello!- He's using it. - Oh, I hope so.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- So you're going to agree with the panel?- Yes. Yep.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58OK. Ann has her head in her hands.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Well, I just hope so.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01I want him to get the money.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05OK, for £500, has Alfred Hitchcock received a knighthood?
0:22:09 > 0:22:10Oh...
0:22:10 > 0:22:11Yes!
0:22:11 > 0:22:14APPLAUSE
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Well played.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20His first film in colour was Rope.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Is that the ginger strangler?
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- The ginger strangler was actually Frenzy.- Frenzy.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Although I'm going to call it The Ginger Murderer from now on.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31He was nominated five times - you were right, Dan -
0:22:31 > 0:22:33but he never won.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37And he was knighted in the 1980 New Year's Honours list.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Well played, AJ. Well done, panel.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44It means now we add £500 to your prize pot,
0:22:44 > 0:22:46which is up to £1,700.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:22:48 > 0:22:51And that is what you're going to be playing for, AJ,
0:22:51 > 0:22:54in today's final debate.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56£1,700, a lot of money -
0:22:56 > 0:22:59what are you going to do with it if you manage to bag it today?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Erm, if I can win the £1,700,
0:23:02 > 0:23:06I could buy a new tennis wheelchair, which would be top of the range
0:23:06 > 0:23:09and let me compete against everybody around the world.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13So what you're saying is, there are gold medals at stake?
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- LAUGHTER - Yes.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18There is one question that stands between you and that £1,700
0:23:18 > 0:23:20and that is our final debate.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22That is one question.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24That question will have six possible answers.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27It will have three correct answers.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31If you get all three, then you leave here with your £1,700.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35I'm afraid if you don't get all three, then you leave with nothing.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- Yeah.- So, bearing in mind there is a wheelchair to win,
0:23:38 > 0:23:39a gold medal at stake...
0:23:41 > 0:23:42Sporting legend.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43LAUGHTER
0:23:43 > 0:23:46You see what you've done now? You see what you've done now?!
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Too much pressure!
0:23:48 > 0:23:50So, which of our panel
0:23:50 > 0:23:53would you like to play the final debate with you?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56You've got Wikipedia...
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- It's going to have to be Russell. - LAUGHTER
0:23:58 > 0:24:02OK, Russell. Join us as we play the final debate.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04APPLAUSE
0:24:08 > 0:24:11OK, Russell, AJ has chosen you for the final debate.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- How are you feeling?- Very nervous, just because, obviously,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17what you'd use the money for is so amazing. It does up the pressure.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19- Thanks for that, AJ.- Yeah!
0:24:19 > 0:24:20LAUGHTER
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Because we are nice here at Debatable,
0:24:22 > 0:24:24we're going to give you two categories to choose from.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Here you go. Here is today's final debate categories.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Geography and Musicals.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- I'm hopeless on musicals. Absolutely got nothing at all.- So am I.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- I guess we're doing geography, then. - Yeah.- You've travelled a lot, right?
0:24:39 > 0:24:43With the Royal Navy. I've travelled a lot around the UK with stand-up.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- So I think between us, we've seen a bit of the world.- Yeah.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Yeah, I think geography is the way forward on this one.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53OK, by default - no knowledge on musicals, you've travelled a bit -
0:24:53 > 0:24:55it's going to be geography.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01So, AJ, for £1,700, with 45 seconds on the clock,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04best of luck. Here is today's final debate question.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33So, AJ and Russell,
0:25:33 > 0:25:36for the final time, your 45 seconds starts now.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38OK, Bulgaria, the capital is Sofia.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Nigeria isn't Lagos - the name escapes me,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43but it's up north, and it's definitely not Nigeria.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44Venezuela is Caracas.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Therefore, the answer's - Singapore, Kuwait, Luxembourg.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49OK, I know Kuwait and Luxembourg, so...
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Singapore's an island. It just is a city on its own.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Kuwait - Kuwait City. And Luxembourg is Luxembourg City.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Caracas, Sofia.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Oh, what's it called, the capital of Nigeria?
0:26:00 > 0:26:02It's in the north. The name escapes me,
0:26:02 > 0:26:03but it's definitely not Nigeria.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07Everyone thinks it's Lagos and it isn't, it's the other one.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09- Superb.- Almost 100%.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11- Are you in agreement? - Yes, definitely.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13You've probably been near a few of those places.
