0:02:36 > 0:02:40Most people would just use a cloth to dab away at it,

0:21:33 > 0:21:37whether you want to play for one, two, three or four links.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41The more links you play for, the fewer clues you receive.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44We start with the team that has brought the most money through
0:21:44 > 0:21:47to this round, and that is Sue and Rob.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Sue and Rob, your question will be asking...

0:23:14 > 0:23:18For two links, here are your clues. What am I?

0:23:54 > 0:23:56200 tonnes of steel.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Do you have any idea?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01I was thinking the Statue of Liberty.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03I could be completely wrong.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04Statue of Liberty.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05Statue of Liberty.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Am I the Statue of Liberty?
0:24:09 > 0:24:11No.

0:24:31 > 0:24:32Yeah.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34It's the Angel of the North.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Am I the Angel of the North?
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Antony Gormley's Angel of the North.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50You've nicked a link. That means we cut one link from your pod.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55And it's your go.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Your question, Sue and Rob, will be asking...
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Who am I?
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Sue and Rob, how many links?
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Go for two again?

0:25:42 > 0:25:44- English mathematician.- Newton?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Yeah, go with that.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49We're struggling to think of English mathematicians,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51but I guess Isaac Newton.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Am I Isaac Newton?
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- Yes!- Well done!
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Right, the final clue was...

0:26:27 > 0:26:29- Try three, please.- Three?- Yeah.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32They've chalked their cues...
0:26:32 > 0:26:35For three links, here are your clues. Who am I?
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Those are really vague clues - I don't know what you think.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57An actor.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59It's got to be some actor.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Actor. Erm...
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Tom Jones?
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Did he marry a TV advertisement?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Don't know.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- What do you think? - Let's say Tom Jones.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Tom Jones.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12Am I Tom Jones?
0:27:15 > 0:27:16No.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20Sue and Rob, you have the chance to nick a link.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Here are the remaining clues.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40- Absolutely no idea. - I haven't got a clue either.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Not a clue.

0:28:09 > 0:28:11Ipcress File.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15Thrillers written by Len Deighton, six Oscars, won twice -
0:28:15 > 0:28:17not a bad CV, is it?
0:28:17 > 0:28:21And he married Shakira after he saw her in a TV advert.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22No links removed.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25But Sue and Rob, we stay with you for the next question.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27And it's going to be asking you...
0:28:29 > 0:28:32What am I? How many links?
0:28:32 > 0:28:34I think we'll just go for one, cos they can't take theirs out.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Yeah, we're going to have at least two more goes at it, aren't we?
0:28:37 > 0:28:40- Should we just take one link away? - Yeah.
0:28:40 > 0:28:41One link, please.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45For one link, here are your clues. What am I?
0:29:12 > 0:29:13Um...
0:29:13 > 0:29:15I was thinking the WI until...
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Um...
0:29:17 > 0:29:19- Three letters.- Maybe the BBC?
0:29:19 > 0:29:22- Maybe?- It's got three letters. - It's got three letters!
0:29:22 > 0:29:23Is it the BBC?
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Am I the BBC?
0:29:31 > 0:29:33No, Sue and Rob.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37Chan and Nathan, you now have a chance to nick a link.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39You've seen all the clues - what am I?
0:29:39 > 0:29:42Do you think you know?
0:29:42 > 0:29:45I think it might be Royal British Legion - RBL.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47I'll go with your guess.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49RBL - Royal British Legion.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Am I the Royal British Legion?
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Aneurin Bevan is spinning in his grave.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01The idea that he was responsible for the WI,
0:30:01 > 0:30:04the BBC and the Royal British Legion...
0:30:04 > 0:30:08No! No, no, no, no.
0:30:08 > 0:30:13I am...the National Health Service.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18So no links removed.

0:30:34 > 0:30:36You're going to go for two links. Yeah?
0:30:36 > 0:30:38I think we should go for three.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41- Want to risk it?- Yeah.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Um...we'll go for three links, please.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Three links.

0:30:47 > 0:30:48What am I?
0:31:05 > 0:31:06What are you thinking?
0:31:06 > 0:31:10I can only think of one thing - Niagara Falls.
0:31:10 > 0:31:11Do you agree?
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Yeah, sounds good.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15We'll say Niagara Falls.

0:31:48 > 0:31:51Sue and Rob, your turn.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Your question will be asking...
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Who am I? How many links?
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Should we go for two this time
0:31:58 > 0:32:00after our disastrous attempt at the last one?
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- Yeah, let's give it a go.- OK. - Two, please.
0:32:05 > 0:32:11So, for two links, Sue and Rob, here are your clues.
0:32:11 > 0:32:12Who am I?

0:33:34 > 0:33:36- Yes, very much...- It's been brilliant.- Really good.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38One other thing.

0:34:21 > 0:34:24what you would do with it if you won it?
0:34:24 > 0:34:28Well, me and my wife are expecting our first baby, so we're going
0:34:28 > 0:34:33to put the money towards converting our office into a nursery.

0:34:48 > 0:34:50Sue and Rob, to take that money home,
0:34:50 > 0:34:55you have just 60 seconds to find six super-links.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57At each level, you'll need to identify

0:34:59 > 0:35:02As soon as you think you know the answer,
0:35:02 > 0:35:04buzz in, we'll stop the clock.
