Episode 10 Len Goodman's Partners in Rhyme

# Let's get on the with the show. #

Hey-hey! Oh!

Hey-hey!

Hello and welcome to

Partners In Rhyme,

a show that's all about

finding rhymes -

in names, objects, people

and places.

Let me show you what I mean.

Take a look at this

and find the rhyme.

It's a Scottie.

Spotty Scottie!

If you've got the time...

ALL:

Len's got the rhyme!

Shut up! Booyakacha right in there!

Tonight,

two contestants will go head-to-head

to solve our rhyming clues,

but they won't be playing alone.

They'll be teamed up with their very

own celebrity partners in rhyme,

so let's meet tonight's

celebrity teams. Wahey!

Oh...shut up!

On our first team,

we know she's got Latin passion,

but can she move in rhyming fashion?

Oti Mabuse!

Hi!

Oh! Oh, lovely!

I've heard you've got

a degree in civil engineering.

Yeah, but I don't think

that's going to help me today.

I think you're going to be too

clever for this show, I promise you.

I doubt that.

It's lovely to see you.

Thank you.

And joining Oti, he's many things

but he isn't posh.

The king of the jungle

is our Joe Swash!

I like that.

That's good, Len. How are you?

Among other things,

she normally sings,

so this is a change.

A Sugababe - Heidi Range!

Hello.

Lovely to see you.

Nice to see you.

And joining Heidi, his name is

slang for jeans that flare,

it's my old mucker, Lionel Blair.

How are you?

Lionel!

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome our celebrity teams.

So we've got our celebrity

rhyme teams.

Now let's meet our contestants.

Dawn!

Hi.

How are you?

Good, thank you.

Lovely to see you.

Where are you from?

I'm from Manchester.

Oh, good old Manchester! Lovely.

How are you feeling? I'm OK.

I'm good, I'm good.

You've got some children,

I understand.

I have, yes.

So you must have done nursery rhymes

and stuff with them.

I've done the lot.

Yeah, so that's

all rhyming stuff.

Yeah.

I've heard you've got

a thing about wire wool.

Ooh!

Yes.

What, even saying it?

Ooh!

My mum was the same.

She didn't like cotton wool.

Oh, I don't mind cotton wool.

It's just the wire wool?

Just the wire wool.

Oh, don't say it. Don't say it.

Don't keep saying it.

I don't want to put you off

cos you're going to have

a lovely evening.

Ah, Sadiq, where are you from?

Ilford in Essex.

Oh, lovely!

Up my way.

I am.

An Essex boy?

No!

No, you're not an Essex boy?

I'm a northerner,

I've moved down south.

What made you do that?

Football.

West Ham?

Tottenham.

Get in!

Shut up.

I don't like you already, Sadiq.

Tottenham?

Absolutely.

Well, I don't mind Tottenham

but I'm a West Ham boy.

Fair enough.

What's this,

you and the Spice Girls?

Yeah.

You like their...

You've got memorabilia.

I have. Sorry, Heidi.

Yeah, massive Spice Girls fan.

Really?

Yeah.

What have you got,

like a room full of...you know?

I've got an attic full of...

I've got chocolate bars

in my freezer dating back to 1996 -

of each one of them.

And I've got an actual cardboard

cut-out of my favourite one -

Emma Bunton as well.

She was on Strictly, old Emma.

She was.

She was lovely.

Hmm.

Well, Dawn, Sadiq, best of luck.

I hope you have a wonderful evening

and one of you

walks away with the holiday.

Well done.

Dawn and Sadiq are about to pair up

with one of our celebrity

rhyming teams.

So to help them choose,

they need to see them in action.

So what we're going to do,

celebrities,

we're going to give each

one of you a rhyme to solve.

This isn't for points -

it's just to see who is a top rhymer

and who is a flop rhymer.

Oti, here's your shot.

So what have you got?

It's a dog.

I'm petrified of dogs.

OK.

It's a big dog, that, as well.

What sort of dog?

Erm, so it's a Great Dane.

It's eating Chow Mein.

Yay-hey-hey! Well done!

Good.

Not too shabby!

Joe, over to you. What can you do?

He's got a guitar.

What's this thing?

That's-that's the trunk.

And what's spiky-haired bloke?

He is the...punk with a trunk!

Way-hey-hey! Yeah, it was awkward.

Thank you, Len!

That did it, right?

Sorted me right out. Cheers, Len.

Heidi, here is your test.

Give it your best.

Ooh.

Lionel Blair...

Oh! Hello!

Lionel Blair...

I wish I looked like that now.

..with fabulous hair?

That's good enough for me.

Lionel Blair with fabulous hair.

Oh!

Lionel, keep it clean.

Your rhyme is on the screen.

I'll give you a clue,

Elizabeth I eating...

Hot dog.

Bratwurst!

Bratwurst!

Yes, correct!

OK, now,

we've seen the celebrities at work.

Now it's Dawn and Sadiq's go.

You'll play Find The Rhyme.

Whoever guesses most rhymes

in 19 seconds

can choose their team.

If you buzz in

with the wrong answer,

your opponent then has a go.

If you think you know, give it a go.

On the buzzer, it's Find The Rhyme.

Eh?

What can you see?

It's a chick...

Chick.

It's a chick,

it's got a thermometer,

so what's the chick?

You got it, Dawn?

It's a sick chick!

Yes!

Ah-ha-ha! Your buzzer!

Oh, erm...

I know her, I can't... I don't know.

Yeah?

Judi Dench sitting on a bench.

That's the one.

Yeah, you're on a roll now, Dawn.

Well done.

Next one.

Ghost eating her toast.

Correct, Sadiq. Here we go.

Pyjamas!

Oh, you...

No! Dawn buzzed and you...

Yeah, yeah.

The Obamas in their pyjamas.

Correct.

Here we go.

What? Yeah?

Woodpecker pecking a double decker.

Yeah, yeah, good. Lovely.

Well done, Dawn.

That's time up.

Are you getting to grips with

this show at all, you two?

I'm with it now.

Yeah?

With it now.

Yeah. So who's choosing the best

and who's stuck with the rest?

It's time for the scores.

Sadiq - one.

AUDIENCE:

Aw!

Dawn - four!

So, Dawn, as the winner,

you have first choice of which team

you would like to have on your side.

Is it going to be Oti and Joe,

or is it going to be

Heidi and Lionel?

You make the decision.

Oh, this is really difficult. Erm...

I think my daughters would

not forgive me

if I didn't pick Joe and Oti.

There you are.

So that means, Sadiq, your team -

Heidi and Lionel.

It's cool. It's cool.

I've got a Sugababe.

It's time to team up

with your partners in rhyme.

Ha-ha! Joe, Oti...

Yeah.

Do you feel proud

that Dawn has picked you?

Yes.

Yeah. I mean, we're the best

and them two are the rest,

so we're really happy about that.

Thank you for that. Cheers.

And I bet you, Sadiq,

if you could have had a choice,

you would have picked those two,

right?

Definitely.

Sugababe, give-us-a-clue-man.

Perfect.

Absolutely.

Now we've got our teams,

we'll reset the scores to zero

and we'll play Mime The Rhyme.

Teams, I'm going to give you

some rhymes

about famous people doing something

that rhymes with their name.

Dawn won the last round,

so you play first.

It's you, Joe, who's going to

describe the person...

OK.

..without giving the name away.

Oti, you're going to explain

in shapes

and mime what they're doing.

Yes.

OK, there's 90 seconds on the clock.

OK, here we go.

So, erm, he's an actor

and the actor used to...

Play a detective, Sherlock,

and his second name reminds me

of cucumber.

He was in Sherlock Holmes, actor,

he's got like fuzzy hair.

He's quite a posh fella.

He's from... He was probably born

with a silver spoon in his mouth.

You know? Erm... Sherlock Holmes!

Pass.

OK, you're passing.

Benedict Cumberbatch

having a scratch.

Here we go.

OK, this one, he's a comedian

but he never smiles.

He was in the very first

series of Big Brother.

His second name rhymes

with the beanstalk.

What comes before the beanstalk?

Oh, my God! I don't know!

The beanstalk, the big giant!

Jack.

What's the big giant...? Jack.

And what...? And it's not...

A, B, C...

D!

Jack...

Jack Dee.

Yes!

Yeah, what's he doing?

Oh. T'ai chi?

ALL:

Yes!

It was Jack Dee doing t'ai chi.

There we go!

All right, these two are

two female presenters...

They both do a little bit of comedy

and they...

They do the show

about the British Bake Off.

The two...

Oh, Mel and...

Yeah.

Mel and who?

Mel and...the other one.

Sue.

Mel and Sue.

Mel and Sue... Erm...

Giving out food.

No.

Serving...

Being cabin crew.

Yes!

Cabin crew! Wahey!

Time's up.

Well done.

Dawn, go and rejoin your team.

Well done.

Oh...

Dawn...

I'm not angry with you,

but a little bit disappointed.

Sorry.

Sadiq, come on.

It's your turn.

Now please come and join us.

Lionel, out you come.

OK.

Lionel is there.

Sadiq is here.

Heidi, you will be describing

and Lionel will be miming.

You've also got 90 seconds

on the clock.

Let's play Mime The Rhyme.

Erm...he was in charge

of the ship in Star Trek.

Captain Kirk.

Yes!

Captain Kirk.

Captain Kirk...

Doing...

Doing a twerk!

Yay!

Yeah! It was Captain Kirk

doing the twerk!

Next one.

OK, erm...

Australian actor...

Yeah.

Quite a big guy.

He's got a beard,

he was in Les Mis, Gladiator...

Oh, erm... I know his name.

Think of a bird.

A Beautiful Mind.

Oh! I don't know!

Er...

Yes, like a big black bird.

What's a big black bird?

A magpie.

No, bigger than that.

Crow! Russell Crowe...

Yeah!

Russell Crowe...

What's this?

It's a...you know.

Doing a thing. Think of Sooty.

Sooty, er... Mime. No, erm...

It's got to rhyme with Crowe.

Crowe. Crowe, flow, I don't know.

Pup...

Er...pass!

Pass.

It was Russell Crowe doing

a puppet show. Next one.

Oh. Cockney actor in EastEnders...

Yeah.

Dark hair.

He done a show called

Who Do You Think You Are?

Shane Ritchie...

No, he's related to royalty...

Oh, I don't know!

Tall...

On a plane.

No.

Driving.

Don't worry about that.

We've got to get the name first.

We need the name.

His surname sounds like higher.

I think we've run out of time.

Have we run out of time?

Danny Dyer, Danny Dyer,

cockney geezer.

Then I went...

Spitfire, Spitfire.

OK, yeah.

Lionel, Spitfire, you couldn't do

better than that, could you?

I did my best, didn't I, Len?

Danny Dyer.

Danny Dyer.

Sorry, mate.

Go on, take your seat.

Well, I've got to be honest,

I thought Dawn was pretty rough,

but...

I started off well.

Anyway, let's

have a look at the scores.

Sadiq, you've got one.

Whoo!

Dawn, you've got two!

It's all still to play for

as we go into round three.

Rhyme Watch.

I'm about to show you a short film

starring a celebrity.

Hidden in the film are

six pairs of rhymes to find.

If you spot the rhyme,

please write them down.

There's a point

for each correct pair.

Now, this is not easy,

so when you're playing at home,

keep your eyes peeled

as the rhymes are revealed.

It's over to ski jump legend

Eddie the Eagle.

Here we go.

Hi, and welcome to

Eddie the Eagle's - that's me -

top tips on how to be your best

on the slopes.

Let's get started.

Never ski on an empty stomach.

I always carry protein

to give me the boost I need.

Remind everyone of

where you're from

and always do your country proud.

Style. Personally, I like to look

dapper at all times

because you never know

who's watching.

I never ski without my lucky mascot.

He's comfortable, cuddly

and he's my biggest fan.

When you reach the finish line,

you've got to give your adoring

fans what they came for.

And those are my top tips

just for you.

Oh, and one more thing -

don't eat yellow snow.

How many did you get at home?

Let's see if you were right.

Here's the first one.

Yeah, we got that one, we got that.

Did you get that?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, we got that one.

Both of you got that one. Well done.

Next one, here we go.

Cheese skis.

ALL:

Oh, no!

Next one.

Yeah!

Yeah, we got that.

Sadiq, you got that?

We got that one.

We got backpack.

Backpack flag.

Yeah, it doesn't rhyme hardly,

does it? Backpack and flag.

Right, you've got to rhyme, Joe.

Sorry.

Here's the next one.

No-one got that.

Next one. Here we go.

Teddy, Eddie.

I got it when it was too late.

I thought it was bear hug.

Bear hug?

It doesn't rhyme!

The bears give them a hug.

Joe, write this down.

It's got to rhyme.

It's got to rhyme.

That's

where I'm going wrong.

One more.

Rose and pose.

We got that.

You've both got that one.

Get in.

Your scores from Rhyme Watch,

Dawn, you've got two.

Sadiq, three.

Now, how does that leave the teams

overall?

Sadiq, you've got four.

Back in the game.

And, Dawn, you've got four.

Come on, Sadiq.

Back in the game.

But we have one round more

with a points to score.

Whoever is in the lead after

this round will go on

to tackle our endgame

and play for the holiday.

It's time for News At Len.

I'm going to read you tonight's

Partners In Rhyme news stories.

Teams, you must work out

the rhyming headlines

that go with these stories.

I have four news stories in total.

Listen carefully, but don't buzz in

until I ask for your headline.

There are two points

for each correct answer.

It's time for tonight's news.

First up...

In Hollywood news,

a star of Pirates Of The Caribbean

has given up playing Captain Jack

to become someone who works

for people on vacations,

organising their day trips

and entertainment.

What's the headline?

Dawn?

Johnny Depp's being

a holiday rep.

Let's have a look.

Johnny Depp as a holiday rep. Yes.

Both of us got that, yeah.

Joe, would you like

to go on holiday with Johnny Depp?

I'd rather go on holiday with you.

Ah, lovely.

Are you going to leave me?

You can come, too.

Yeah, why wouldn't you?

The

more the merrier.

Historical news.

The annual competition to find

the country's best backside

has a surprise winner.

None other than Britain's most

famous playwright, who said,

"I wrote about Bottom

in A Midsummer Night's Dream.

"But to have the best

one in the land is a real honour."

What's the headline?

Dawn again.

Is it...?

Is it...Shakespeare's got

a good rear?

Let's have a look.

I'll give you that one.

It was Shakespeare winning

the Rear Of The Year. Yes.

Yes!

Political news.

Westminster was rocked today

when a pop star declared her passion

for a well-known UK politician.

"I love him,"

said the singer with Starship,

"I love his pinstripe suit,

trademark pint of bitter."

What's the headline?

Nicki Minaj likes Nigel Farage.

Let's see.

Nicki Minaj loves Nigel Farage.

Well done.

Yeah! That's so good.

Like that? Do you like that?

Yeah, well done.

And finally, football news.

The centre forward of Barcelona

and the Argentinian national team

has quit to move

to the Scottish Highlands

to hunt for a mythical beast

that lives in a loch.

The soccer ace said,

"They often accuse me

"of diving on the pitch,

now it's time to do it for real."

What's the news?

Lionel Messi has a look for Nessie.

Let's have a look.

Lionel Messi is looking for Nessie.

Well done.

Yes!

I think I've found my calling card.

Knob pressing?

I love a bit of rhyming.

That's all the News At Len.

After those dramatic stories,

the only news headline that counts

now is - what are the scores

and who is going on

to play for the holiday?

Sadiq, four points.

Dawn, 12 points.

Which means going through

to play for the holiday is Dawn.

You don't go home empty-handed,

Sadiq.

Oh, no, in fact, I think

you're going to love it,

it's a pen from Len.

Oh, fantastic.

Oh, yeah!

Eh?

That's really fantastic.

That's really wonderful.

It's a good make.

Yeah, proper lovely.

You've got the Spice Girls

up in the loft.

Yes.

Where's the old pen from Len

going to go?

In the front room on the mantelpiece

for everyone to see.

Really?

Absolutely. Yes. Where else?

Where else?

You've been great fun,

Sadiq.

Thank you.

You really have. And I'd like to say

commiserations, but to be honest,

what would you rather have?

A holiday, get a bit of sun

and then home you come.

Or the pen from Len?

The pen from Len.

No question.

No question, without a doubt.

Give it up for Sadiq.

Good luck.

Congratulations, Dawn, on making it

through to our final round.

Come and join me in the middle

for the final riddle.

It's Rhyme Against Time. Whoa-ho!

Your partners have taken

you this far,

but here's where you go it alone

because now it's just

you against the clock.

If you can rhyme against time,

you will be jetting off on a plane

to Spain.

On screen is a clock

split into six segments.

Each segment contains

a three-part rhyme,

like a dog on a log in the fog.

If you can solve all six segments,

you'll win that wonderful

trip to Spain.

If you get stuck on one,

you can move onto the next one.

But you must complete all six

segments within the time.

Now, Dawn, are you ready?

Yes.

Let's play Rhyme Against Time.

OK, um...

Who's that?

Berry. Kerry.

Oh, Mary Berry, Katie Perry on a

ferry.

Yes, correct, the next one.

Oh, Peter Kay. Peter Kay.

What's he doing? What dance?

What dance?

Doing a plie.

No.

No.

Doing ballet.

Peter Kay, ballet. On holiday.

On holiday, lovely, next one.

Tony Blair in a pushchair

at the fair.

Yes, next.

Guitar.

Oh, um...Tom Daley.

Tom Daley,

I don't know the other guy.

It's not the guitar.

Playing a ukulele.

Yeah.

And the comedian?

Somebody... Oh.

Want to move on?

Move on.

Forgotten his name.

OK, move on.

Mousetrap.

Who's that?

Oh, Harry Redknapp.

Yeah. What's he got on?

Wearing a shower cap

with a mouse trap.

Yes. Come on.

I don't know that guy's name.

Um...Little Mix doing kicks.

Doing high kicks.

With chopsticks.

Yes.

OK.

Oh, I've got to deal with this

man's name.

OK, playing the ukulele.

Tom Daley with the ukulele.

Ukulele.

Bill...

Bill Madeley. Oh!

Tom Daly, Bill Bailey.

I'm sorry, Dawn.

You didn't quite make it,

but you don't leave empty-handed.

I'm overjoyed to say you still win

your very special pen from Len.

Thank you.

Well, that's it for

Partners In Rhyme for today.

A big thank you to Oti, Joe,

Heidi and Lionel.

We'll see you soon and, remember,

if you've got the time,

ALL:

Len's got the rhyme.

Cheerio. Goodnight. Bye!
