Episode 10 Think Tank

Meet our Think Tank.

They answered hundreds questions before the show.

Their answers are in.

But how helpful will they be to the three contestants?

Playing the game with us are Donna, who is retired and from Stinchcombe,

Rob, a customer service assessor from Portishead,

and Barbara, a PE teacher from Leicester.

This is Think Tank.

Welcome to the show. Welcome as always to our Think Tank.

This octet includes a musician, nicknamed Duppy Grandad,

a retired HR adviser who loves dressing up in wigs,

and an English Literature graduate and former member

of the Action Man Fan Club.

They're all here to help our three contestants throughout the show.

And playing with us today, Donna, Rob and Barbara. Welcome.

Donna, you are retired now. But what did you do when you were working?

-I was a school business manager.

-What do you do now?

I love walking and I've taken part in the Moonwalk,

I've taken part in the Sunwalk and I've taken part in the Ribbonwalk,

raising money for breast cancer charities.

So the Moonwalk, you're not afraid of the dark...

-I'm not afraid of the dark.

-What are you afraid of?

I'm afraid of coming out without any make-up on.

Ladies on the Think Tank,

do you suffer from the same phobia about make-up?

-No, I don't own any make-up.

-I don't wear make-up normally.

That's because you are all

naturally beautiful...

..it says here.

Donna, welcome. Rob, you're a customer service assessor.

What's your strongest subject likely to be?

In all fairness, I'd probably say pop music.

-Particularly '80s pop music.

-'80s pop music you're very fond of.

Dressing up '80s style, do you do?

Yeah, I've done a bit of dressing up '80s style.

A bit of unfortunate accident, a bit of dad dancing. Jumped on the floor.

HE IMITATES RIPPING LAUGHTER

That's a good look. Probably cramped your style a little bit.

Ken, you used to be a holiday rep, didn't you?

Did you have to do any dressing up for that?

Well, only as a holiday stewardess on an airline. Yes.

Hang on, just let's back up here a second.

You said you were dressed as a stewardess.

-Yes, nothing wrong with that.

-Wearing a skirt?

-Yes, and a huge wig.

-Did you have the legs for it?

Well, I don't now but I used to, yes. It's the heels that got me.

Well, we're all getting an image here, aren't we?

Welcome to the show, Rob. Barbara, PE teacher, you must be pretty fit.

I tend to do quite a lot of things, lots of running, cycling,

-swimming and kung fu.

-Kung fu? Gosh.

Sport obviously is going to be a strong subject for you, then.

What else do you have in your locker?

Geography because I've travelled a lot for work also

and hopefully with the travels, the languages.

Do you speak any foreign languages?

French, Italian, Spanish and then some basic German and

when I was studying kung fu in China I also learnt some basic Mandarin.

OK, treat us to some Mandarin.

SHE SPEAKS MANDARIN

I should have said hello first of all. I do kung fu, I'm a teacher.

-No, we knew that. Well, lovely to have you with us.

-Thank you.

So over three rounds our contestants will try to tap into

the Think Tank's knowledge to build up as much money as possible.

The two highest scorers progress to the final, ultimately,

though, just one will walk away with a cash prize.

So let's play the first round.

So, in this round I'm going to ask you a question,

then every member of the Think Tank will reveal

the answer that they gave before the show.

The correct answer's always going to be in there somewhere.

Also, though, any number of wrong answers, mistakes, will be

in the mix as well. OK?

Pick out the right answer, £200 will be added to your prize fund.

You get two questions each. Donna, we'll start with you.

Here's your first question.

Have a think on that

while we see what the Think Tank thought. Tristan.

Arthur.

Peter.

William.

Zara.

Richard.

Beatrice.

Zara.

Peter.

Two Peters, two Zaras

and a few others in the mix.

Anything leaping out at you?

Well, Princess Anne had her children first,

so it's either Zara or Peter.

And I have a feeling that Peter

is the older one.

-Peter is what I'm going for.

-OK.

What is the first name of the Queen's oldest grandchild?

Peter is your choice.

Let's see if it's the right one.

Peter it is, well done.

What a relief.

Peter was born in 1977. Zara was born in 1981, so well done, Donna.

£200 gets added to your prize fund. You're off the mark.

And Rob, we come to you for your first question.

Have a think about that while we see

what the Think Tank had to

say about it.

Remember, the correct answer's

always there somewhere. Tristan.

Darwin's Theories.

Animal Farm.

The Book Of Evolution.

Animal Farm.

Animal Farm.

Animal Farm.

The Origin Of Species.

1984.

Half of the Think Tank going with Animal Farm

but some interesting other choices for you as well there, Rob.

Yes, certainly. Um, I'm going to go with the majority. Animal Farm.

OK. "All animals are equal, some

animals are more equal than others"

is a famous line from which book?

You're saying it's Animal Farm.

Let's see if you are on the right lines.

Animal Farm it is, well done.

George Orwell's famous allegory of

the Russian Revolution.

Well done, Arminel, Max, Ken and Cleve.

I thought the others of you, actually, Darwin's Theories,

why not, Tristan? The Book Of Evolution, again?

-I was thinking along the same lines.

-Yeah. OK.

Rob, £200 to you and Barbara, here's your first question.

Let's see what the

Think Tank dreamt of on that one. Tristan.

London.

Oxford.

York.

Oxford.

Oxford.

York.

Bath.

Oxford.

Half of the Think Tank again

making the same choice.

Oxford, not necessarily

the right one, Barbara?

I've been to all the cities.

Never heard of the nickname

the City of Dreaming Spires so I'm hoping

the majority are correct and I'm going for Oxford.

Going with what 50% are saying.

The English city nicknamed the City of Dreaming Spires.

You say it's Oxford. Let's see if you are right.

You are, Oxford is the right answer.

The town was coined by the poet Matthew Arnold,

and is a reflection on the beauty of the city's College buildings.

So, £200 to you.

You're all off the mark,

and Donna, we come to you for your second question.

Follow many sitcoms?

-No.

-All right, well, let's see if the Think Tank

can help you here. Tristan.

Malcolm In The Middle.

The Thick Of It.

Malcolm In The Middle.

The Thick Of It.

Coronation Street.

Open All Hours.

Grange Hill.

Two And A Half Men.

So, pretty big spread for you there

-to choose from.

-It is.

And I've heard of some of them, but not all of them.

I don't think it's Open All Hours.

I'm going to go with Malcolm In The Middle.

I know it's a bit obvious but I'm going to go with

-Malcolm In The Middle.

-Malcolm In The Middle is your choice.

Malcolm Tucker, a character in which TV sitcom?

You're saying Malcolm In The Middle. Let's see.

It's The Thick Of It.

The famously foul-mouthed spin doctor,

played by Peter Capaldi, of course.

No money for you this time, Donna and Rob,

here's your second question.

Let's see what the Think Tank said.

Chris Evans.

Peter Duncan.

Bill Turnball.

Ray Mears.

Simon Green.

Nick Knolwes.

Bear Grylls.

Bill Turnball.

Some interesting choices there, Rob.

Well, I'd like to think that

I was in the presence of the Chief

of the Scout Association but sadly, Bill,

for you, I don't think it is you.

Oh, OK. Might have been.

I'm going to go with Max.

I think it's Ray Mears.

You're going with Max's choice, Ray Mears as the TV presenter

who became the Chief Scout of the Scouting Association

in 2009.

Let's see if you're right.

It's Bear Grylls.

-Oh, well.

-Sorry, Rob.

Well done, Lucy.

Youngest ever Chief Scout

appointed at the age of 35,

same sort of area, of course, as Ray Mears.

Abbey and Diane, I'm honoured that you should think I might

ever have been a chief scout.

I have to say, though, I was a cub scout once

and I was pretty hopeless. I barely knew my woggle from a wigwam.

LAUGHTER

So what on earth induced you to believe that?

I think you'd be a good Grand Master Scout. You know, hiking.

-Grand Master Scout?

-Yes. I would salute you any day, Sir.

It would be a flash in a pan if I was.

THEY GROAN

I'd seen you receive something,

you see, and I have this vision,

you were sitting on a red couch and you were given something

and I thought it was to do with the Scouting Association.

You were dreaming about me getting a knighthood.

LAUGHTER

We're still on the waiting list but not after this show.

LAUGHTER

Rob, nothing for you there, I'm afraid.

Barbara, here's your second question.

Have a think on that while

the Think Tank have their say.

Half woman, half snake.

Gorgon.

Serpentine.

Gorgon.

Gorgon.

Gorgon.

Snake.

Snake.

Two snakes,

half woman, half snake, a serpentine

and then half of them are going for Gorgon.

That doesn't mean that they're right necessarily.

Medusa, I remember seeing a Medusa's head

and I know definitely to do with snakes.

I don't know what a Gorgon is.

So, I'm going to go for the half woman, half snake with Tristan.

Half woman, half snake.

In Greek mythology, what type of creature was Medusa?

You're going with Tristan's choice of half woman, half snake.

Let's see if you're more than half right.

It was a Gorgon in fact.

A Gorgon, killed by Perseus in mythology

and apparently she could turn somebody to stone

with just a glance.

I've had that feeling looking at the Think Tank.

LAUGHTER

So, Barbara, no money for you there.

That brings us to the end of the round,

let's see how you're all getting along.

And you're all tied on £200.

Let's see who's going to take the lead in the next round then.

Every member of the Think Tank is holding two questions,

which they answered correctly before the show.

So, you're going to take it in turns to pick someone in the Think Tank

whose knowledge you think you can match.

For every correct answer, another £200 will be added to your total.

Once the Think Tanker has asked both of their questions,

they can't be picked again, OK?

Donna, you get to go first and you have the whole lot to choose from.

So, who would you like to go with?

I think... Abi, you're smiling nicely at me.

Just on the basis of her smile?

-Just on the basis of her smile.

-Let's hope you're smiling later.

You're going with our doctor, Abi.

I have several hobbies, one of which includes reading.

SHE READS QUESTION

Have you read either of these?

I haven't unfortunately.

Erm...Oh, crikey.

No, nothing, sorry.

Pick an author, any author, it might be right.

Stephen King, which I know it's not.

You never know. Stephen King is it, Abi?

I'm sorry. I do love Stephen King books

but that was by Jeffrey Archer.

Jeffrey Archer was the answer there.

Kane And Abel has sold more than 30 million copies.

-Obviously you didn't buy one of them.

-I did not, no.

Never mind, Donna. No money for you just now.

And, Rob, we move on to you.

You can still choose from any one you like.

I've got some nice, smiling faces but I love Cleve's dreads.

I always dream of having dreads but unfortunately can't do it. Cleve.

-So, you're going to go with our musician Cleve?

-I will, yes.

I know the answer to this because I'm a huge, huge fan

of this singer, Marvin Gaye.

HE READS QUESTION

I really don't know the title of any Marvin Gaye albums.

Let's say, I'm going to throw it out there from a song that he did

that's famous, Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay.

Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay is your answer.

Cleve?

Unfortunately, Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay

-was actually Otis Redding.

-Oh, of course.

This one is What's Going On?

-What's going on?

-Thanks, Cleve.

Sorry, I'm so sorry.

Often cited as one of the greatest

albums ever recorded.

Seminal work by Marvin Gaye, What's Going On?

You say...

# What's going on?

# What's going on?

# What's going on?

# What's going on?

-That's enough now!

-LAUGHTER

-It was a great song, great album.

-Just going on and on and on...

And you and I are going on the road.

I'd do that.

Thanks, Cleve.

No money on that question for you, Rob, I'm afraid.

Barbara, we come to you and you still have the entire pool.

Well, I'm hoping because of the sporting background

and the similar haircut, so Tristan hopefully has got a question

-I'll know the answer to.

-All right.

Our ice hockey player, on the basis of the haircut

and what you do, Tristan.

I think you will get this cos you're well-travelled,

-so the question is...

-HE READS QUESTION

Well, I'm hoping it's the big bald one, which is a bald eagle.

The bald eagle. Very confidently said.

Should she be right to be so confident?

Yes, the bald eagle's the correct answer. Good job.

Well done. £200 to you, then. And, Donna, we come back to you.

You can still choose any one you like.

-Let's go with Ken.

-Ken.

This one's an athletics question, so I'm hoping it's for you

-but it's an easy one, so don't worry.

-OK.

And I happen to know the answer because this person's mother

lives on my estate.

-The question is...

-HE READS QUESTION

Well, he's great on his distance, obviously,

the 5,000 and I've got a feeling it's the 10,000m.

The 10,000m is what you're going for.

Is that the right distance?

Yes, well done, correct answer. 10,000.

Thank you.

So, you know Mo's mum, do you?

-Yes, she shops in our local grocers, yes.

-Really?

Does Mo ever come round?

Well, he goes to our local school.

Actually, he is really good,

he comes and talks to the children at the local school.

-Wonderful.

-Yeah, he's really good, honestly.

-Great stuff. OK.

So, well done. £200 to you, Donna. And, Rob, we come to you.

You've still got everyone at your disposal.

They're all a smiley bunch but I'm particularly liking Max's smile.

Max, let's hear a question that you answered correctly before the show.

Certainly. Now, I work in tech PR

and this is one of those things that just keeps us awake at night,

it's terrifying.

HE READS QUESTION

I remember the story. I think I remember watching the news

in the morning, you presenting and talking about it, Bill.

And it's the name of somebody, isn't it?

Is it the name of a lady or the name of a man?

It isn't anything to do with this at all

-but I'm just going to call it David Walliams.

-David Walliams?

It's nothing to do with him whatsoever but...

You're saying David Walliams

is the name of the controversial dating website...

-I know it wasn't.

-..which had its database hacked in 2015.

Max.

The answer is Ashley Madison.

Ashley Madison it was, of course.

Nothing whatsoever to do with David Walliams.

From today, yesterday or at any time in the future.

OK, just to make that absolutely clear. OK.

No money for you there, Rob. And, Barbara, we move on to you.

And you can still choose all eight.

I'd like to choose someone that's not been chosen before

but I'm not going to. I'm going to stay with Tristan.

-Tristan.

-OK, this is a movie question.

This is one of my favourite directors.

HE READS QUESTION

I'm thinking of the person that did Pulp Fiction.

Might not be anything to do with that but the word hateful

is in there.

Go with the wrong answer of Steven Spielberg.

You're going to go with Steven Spielberg?

Which is the wrong answer.

Steven Spielberg, is that the wrong answer?

That is the wrong answer.

You were on the right track with Pulp Fiction,

-it's Quentin Tarantino.

-Quentin Tarantino.

So, Pulp Fiction was another of his films and you were close,

just couldn't quite get there.

OK, so nothing for you there, Barbara, and we come back to Donna.

-It's your third and final question in this round.

-OK.

-Anybody but Tristan now you can have.

-OK.

-Diane, please.

-Diane, let's hear a question

that you got right before the show then.

Right. This is a really feel-good film

and I think you'll get the answer to this.

SHE READS QUESTION

Well, the only Will Ferrell film that comes to mind is Elf,

when he was the elf and he was hysterical.

So, I'm going to go with that one - Elf.

-Elf?

-Absolutely right, well done.

Can you remember who Will Ferrell played?

-I don't know, was it something like Tiny?

-It was Buddy...

-Buddy!

-..and he grew up as a human child among all the elves.

-It was absolutely hilarious.

-Loves sweets.

Yeah. Required viewing every Christmas in our family.

£200 to Donna. Moving onto Rob.

And you can still choose any one you like apart from Tristan.

Lucy, I'll go for you, please.

You're going to go with our dance teacher Lucy.

You said in the introduction that you like a bit of a dance.

I am, as Bill says, a dance teacher,

so that's how I knew the answer to this one.

Hopefully you will too.

SHE READS QUESTION

I'm not sure it's one of your repertoire

but you may have the answer anyway.

I'm pretty sure it's South America.

South America?

Absolutely right, well done.

£200 to you, Rob. Barbara, who do you want to go for?

Well, I'm hoping with a travel-related thing

so I'm going to go for Ken.

You're going with our holiday rep Ken.

Very good choice, I might add.

Right, I used to live in Spain for 11 years

so I know more or less everything about Spain.

HE READS QUESTION

Well, I'm hoping it's going to be Mallorca.

I can't remember the names of all the others

but there's about four or five in total, I think.

So, I'm hoping Mallorca's the biggest one.

Mallorca's what you're going for. Is she right?

-Yes, perfect.

-Well done. APPLAUSE

£200 to you, Barbara.

And that brings us to the end of that round.

So, let's see how your prize funds have changed, shall we?

Currently Rob is on £400,

Donna and Barbara are tied on £600.

So, contestants, one of you will have to leave the game shortly

but there's still one last chance for any of you to take the lead

so, Rob, you can still catch up.

All of you are now going to be asked the same question.

Two members of the Think Tank, then, will come forward

and tell you the answer that they gave before the show

and why they believe they're correct.

Only one of them is going to be right.

So, if you side with the correct person,

£200 will be added to your prize fund, OK?

Only five questions remain before we do have to say goodbye

to one of you, so do choose your answers carefully.

First up, we're going to hear answers from Max and Ken.

Here's the first question then.

-Max.

-Now, my answer for this, Bill, is a little bit convoluted

but bear with me.

So, if you remember your Greek mythology, Perseus and the Minotaur,

when returning from slaying the Minotaur,

he sailed back to port

with black flags,

or he was supposed to.

That was the sign to his father that it was a successful mission

but he forgot to do it and his poor father threw himself into the sea,

which became the Aegean sea.

Now, I thought the Royal Navy

probably do read their Greek mythology,

so they come back to port with

black flags on their submarines.

Black flags, black. OK.

Ken.

Well, I had a good think about this

and I remember a couple of years ago

I went to the Royal Navy Submarine Museum

and they talked about this

and would you believe, it's the actual Jolly Roger.

The Jolly Roger.

So, it's a choice between the Jolly Roger and a black flag.

Contestants,

please lock in your choices.

And all three of you

have chosen the Jolly Roger.

Is that the right answer?

It is indeed. Well done.

-Of course the Jolly Roger is the pirate's flag, isn't it, Ken?

-Yes.

Well remembered by you.

I loved your story,

-just wasn't the right one.

-No.

A couple of thousand years out but close.

-Good effort, so well done. Thank you, both.

-Thank you.

And £200 is added to all of your prize funds.

For our next question, we'll hear answers from Diane and Cleve.

And here's the question.

-Diane.

-I went for Adele.

Her albums are internationally sold, also put out a lot of singles,

she's done a Bond song.

Adele definitely holds the title.

-Adele?

-Yes.

-Cleve?

If you write songs, which is 50% of the thing

and the melody, then you own the song.

And the person who stands out to me along that line has been Ed Sheeran.

And not only that, he went to the States

and was writing with people like Pharrell.

So, I actually think it's Ed Sheeran.

Ed Sheeran or Adele, those are your options.

Contestants, please lock in your choice.

Donna has gone with Ed Sheeran.

Rob and Barbara have chosen Adele.

Let's see who's right.

Adele it was.

APPLAUSE

Adele is reportedly worth

more than £50 million.

-Wow.

-I'm not surprised.

You must have written a song or two in your time, Cleve?

Just one or two and I sing a few of them.

The royalties still pouring in?

-Oh, constantly, I'm on the Rich List, just a little bit down.

-Yeah.

-They just haven't found me yet, that's the problem.

-Yeah.

We're all on the list somewhere.

Somewhere!

There's rich and RICHER.

-All right, thanks. Well done, Diane.

-Thank you.

And that means that Rob and Barbara,

you get to add £200 to your prize fund.

Let's hear now from Think Tankers Arminel and Tristan.

Here's the question.

-Arminel.

-I think it's strawberries.

The word Cavendish,

that's the surname of the Dukes of Devonshire

and up at Chatsworth there is an enormous kitchen garden

and so I thought that they would grow strawberries

and it was perfectly reasonable to have a variety Cavendish.

OK. Tristan.

So, I thought bananas.

You seasonally see everywhere and Cavendish, I believe,

is a bunch of wildly-grown fruits and vegetables

and bananas being the main one,

so that was the reason why I chose bananas.

All right, Tristan's gone for bananas,

Arminel says it's strawberries.

Contestants, lock in your choice.

Donna has gone with bananas...

..on her own.

Rob and Barbara

have chosen strawberries.

Who's right?

Bananas it is indeed.

Sorry I was so convincing!

Well, Tristan's right.

-Arminel...but you weren't far off...

-Oh, really?

..because nearly all bananas are thought to descend from one plant

-that was developed at Chatsworth House...

-Oh!

..and that variety was the Cavendish banana...

-Oh!

-..not the strawberry.

I just didn't think of bananas growing up in the Peak District!

-I thought strawberries would.

-They wouldn't normally

but they have the most amazing greenhouses there.

-Yes, I should have thought of that.

-All right.

Great explanation from you. Great answer from you, Tristan.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

£200 for you, Donna. Well done for going out on a limb there.

And we move on to the next question, hearing answers from Lucy and Abi.

And here's the question...

Lucy?

I believe the answer to be Kendall Jenner,

though I wish to preface this by saying

I don't personally follow such celebrities,

but I do teach a broad spectrum of ages within my dance school,

one of which being teenage girls,

and I'm almost certain I've heard this being talked about

-and I believe it to be Kendall Jenner.

-OK.

-Abi?

-Well, I went with the same family.

I actually thought it was Kim Kardashian

because she tried to break the internet

-with her pose.

-SHE LAUGHS

So, I think it might be Kim Kardashian.

Kim Kardashian or Kendall Jenner. Those are your options.

Please lock in your choices.

All three of you have gone

with Kendall Jenner. Are you right?

Kendall Jenner it is.

-Yay!

-APPLAUSE

Well done.

So, the photo features Kendall Jenner lying on the ground

with her hair in the shape of hearts

and it had 3.2 million likes.

-Well done, Lucy. Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

And that means you all get to add £200 to your totals.

Now, for our final question in this round,

we will hear answers from Max and Arminel.

Here's the question...

Max?

Now, I know this one because a couple of years ago,

I drove from coast to coast

across America

through the swamps of Louisiana

up through the Desert of the Mojave

and all the way over to Los Angeles.

Now, I didn't go through this state,

but I do know that the Green Mountain State is Colorado.

Colorado is your choice. Arminel?

Well, I haven't been to the state that I named,

which is Vermont, but I used my knowledge of languages to get there.

I know it's towards Canada, so the French were there

and vert is the French for green and mont is the French for mountain,

so, hence, I decided Vermont was the Green Mountain State.

Vermont or Colorado you have to pick from.

Please lock in your choice.

You've all gone for Vermont.

Let's see if you're right.

Vermont it is. Well done.

APPLAUSE

-Glad I came through.

-THEY LAUGH

-Very good deduction there, Arminel.

-It was all I'd got.

Well, it was terrific. You did very, very well.

Arminel's explanation was absolutely spot-on.

-Well done.

-Thanks.

-Thank you.

That means you all get to add £200 to your prize fund.

That's the end of the round, so let's take a look at your totals.

Tied on £1,400 are Donna and Barbara.

Just behind them on £1,200 is Rob,

so, sadly, we have to say goodbye to you.

You've done very well. To be honest,

we've had winners who've had £1,200 at this stage.

You've just been in a very tight competition.

Thanks very much for being with us. You came pretty close.

Thank you, Rob. Well done, Donna and Barbara.

You two will now compete

to take home the money you've earned so far in our final.

So, Donna, if you win today,

-got any thoughts about how you'll spend your prize?

-Yes.

I'd like to donate some to cancer charities

and I have two daughters, both in their early 30s,

so I'd like to treat them

or give them something towards having a little holiday

-or something.

-That'd be very nice. And Barbara?

Cos I do a lot of running in the mountains,

it's quite difficult to run all the way to the mountains from Leicester,

to actually arrive to them and then run,

so to put some money towards a car so I can get to them easier.

-Well, good luck to you both.

-Thank you.

The final is general knowledge. I'll ask you five questions each

and whoever gives the most correct answers

then will take home the money they've built up so far.

The Think Tank, fortunately, is still on hand to help you out,

so you can pick someone to consult with

before you answer the questions. Each member can only be picked once

and the difference in the final is that, like you,

they haven't seen any of these questions before,

unlike the rest of the show.

So, they are just as much in the dark as you are.

-OK, Donna, we're going to start with you.

-OK.

Here's your first question...

So, who do you think can help you from the Think Tank?

Well, I will ask Max.

My thought, and I'm 99% sure,

is Mike Tindall.

I was going to go for Mike Tindall as well. Wonderful.

Hopefully, I'm not wrong cos then you would be too.

-LAUGHTER

-So, Mike Tindall is my answer.

Mike Tindall is the answer you're choosing

for the name of the former England rugby player

who married Zara Phillips in 2011. Let's see if you're right.

Mike Tindall it is. APPLAUSE

He played 75 times for England.

-Oh, really?

-And their first child Mia was born in 2014.

One-nil to you, Donna. Barbara, here's your first question...

Who do you want to go for?

-Um, I'll go with Cleve.

-Cleve?

Um, Billy Idol, I was a big fan of,

and he sang a Doors song,

which Jim Morrison was...

That's my thoughts in there.

I absolutely agree with you and I sing that song Light My Fire,

so it is Jim Morrison and it's The Doors.

-So, The Doors.

-The Doors.

Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek, members of which rock band?

You're saying The Doors. Let's see if you're right.

The Doors it is. APPLAUSE

The Doors most famous, of course, for Light My Fire,

-which is in your repertoire...

-Absolutely.

..People Are Strange and Riders On The Storm.

Well done, Barbara. One-all.

Donna, here's your second question...

Um, who's likely to be good on history?

Arminel, I'm going

to go with you, please.

-I'm so glad you have.

-SHE LAUGHS

So, I do have a pretty good idea.

-Do you have any suggestions?

-Well, Edward the Confessor comes to mind.

I'm absolutely sure you're right. It's Edward the Confessor, yes.

-Edward then.

-Edward the Confessor.

Both confident on that as the English king

known as The Confessor who died in 1066.

Let's see.

Edward it is. APPLAUSE

-He features on the Bayeux Tapestry as well.

-Of course.

Well done. Two-one to Donna. Barbara, your chance to equalise

with your second question...

Literature your thing?

I do know this book,

but I can't think of the author's name off the top of my head,

so I'm hoping, um...

-Diane.

-The first name

that came into my mind

-was Jules Verne...

-Mm.

-..cos...

# Round the world in 80 days Passepartout! #

And his name popped into my head, so I'm with Jules Verne.

-Where are you?

-Well, I was nowhere. I was around the world.

LAUGHTER

But, yeah, Jules Verne is a name I recognise, so I'll go with him.

Jules Verne is who I associate with that book.

-You're going to follow Diane's advice.

-I am.

It is your answer, of course, that we have to go with. Jules Verne.

Around The World In Eighty Days, a book by which author?

You're saying Jules Verne. Let's see if you're right.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-And famously featured the character Phileas Fogg...

-Yes.

-..as well as Passepartout.

-Yes.

-Well done.

Two-all. Donna, question number three for you...

Who do you want to go for?

Let's go Lucy.

Do you have any inklings?

There's something in the back of my mind,

but I don't know if it's a synthetic...

Blue is coming to mind for some bizarre reason,

but then I then flip and think something else.

-So, what do you think?

-I've heard of pink diamonds.

-Yeah.

But now we're talking, I'm also thinking yellow,

-but I could go off...

-Yes, actually, I have heard of yellow diamonds.

Well, I think I'll have to go with my gut instinct and go yellow.

-OK.

-And keep my fingers crossed as well.

-Yes. Everything crossed.

-Your gut instinct.

OK, what is the rarest colour for naturally-occurring diamonds?

You're saying yellow. Let's see if you've got the right colour there.

-It's red. ALL:

-Oh!

-Red? Wouldn't have got red.

-Never heard of that.

-No.

-Never heard of that.

-I wouldn't mind owning one.

-No.

-LAUGHTER

In fact, yellow's one of the most commonly-occurring colours

for diamonds. Yeah. OK.

-Oh, well.

-Still two-all. Barbara, you can take the lead

if you get this question right. Here it is...

Um, I think I might ask Ken for help with this one.

Well, I find this a bit difficult.

Um, I'm tempted to go for the USA

because, recently, on television,

there's been quite a few series about prisons in America.

-OK.

-It immediately came to me - I thought USA, but...

It could be somewhere in South America, I guess, as well.

But just population-wise, I think I'll go with Ken

cos I really don't remember, so I'll go with the USA.

Going to go with the USA?

Which country has the world's biggest prison population?

You're saying USA. Let's have a look.

United States it is. APPLAUSE

Well done. Good guidance there from Ken.

There are more than 2.2 million people in prison in the USA.

OK, three-two, then, to Barbara. You've just taken the lead.

This to equalise, Donna. For your fourth question...

I'll go with Tristan.

Tristan, how are you on politics?

Not that good, but I was thinking maybe Green Party.

-OK.

-Who are you feeling? Who are you thinking?

-I don't know.

For some reason, I was thinking Labour

because they were trying to make a point that they had

the higher female representation than Conservatives, but...

You do make a great point.

-Green Party were also trying to make a lot of changes too, so...

-Yeah.

-OK, in for a penny. Labour.

-Going to go with Labour?

-I am.

Which of the UK's main political parties

fielded the highest number of female candidates

at the 2015 General Election?

You're saying it's Labour. Have you voted the right way?

-Oh!

-You have. Labour it is. APPLAUSE

Good job.

They had 214 female candidates in the General Election.

All right, so, it is three-all. Barbara, your fourth question...

-Just Abi to ask.

-I'll choose Abi.

Thanks? Um, if we could place an era of some form...

-Yeah.

-..that tends to help.

-Or even a link of the name.

Sometimes, they'll take bits of the name.

Sometimes, it changes completely, but...

Well, Richard sometimes tends to be Dick or Rich or...

Starkey? Star?

Oh, hang on. Possibly Five

because I think there's a guy called Rich in Five,

but that's the only thing.

As in, that's his full name,

but I don't know whether or not...

-His name is Five?

-No, he was in a boy band called Five.

-OK.

I'm sure there's a guy

called Rich in that,

but that's the only thing that I can say.

Yeah, I don't have anything else to go on,

so I'll just go for Rich of Five.

-Yeah, Rich from Five.

-Rich from Five.

SHE LAUGHS OK.

Richard Starkey is the real name of which pop star?

You're going with Rich from Five. HE LAUGHS

Let's see if you're right.

It's Ringo Starr.

-Oh.

-Oh.

-Ringo Starr.

You see, you're both too young.

If you're from an older era,

it's ingrained on everybody's brains.

-Sorry. So sorry.

-Thank you anyway.

-Sorry.

-OK.

So, it's three-all.

This is your fifth question, then.

There are no Think Tankers left to help you,

so from here on in, you're on your own.

Donna, here's your fifth question...

-Well, that's a little blue bird.

-So, you're saying bird?

-Bird.

-OK.

What type of creature is the official logo

of the website Twitter?

Very confidently, you are saying it's a bird.

Let's see if you're right.

And a bird it is. APPLAUSE

-Well done.

-Goodness.

-It is a blue bird, obviously, because birds tweet.

-Indeed.

-OK.

Now then, Barbara, this is your fifth question.

You do need to get this right to stay in the game.

He used to be one of the Friends and it's Matt LeBlanc.

Very quickly, you've come to that answer.

In February 2016,

which American actor was announced as a co-host of Top Gear on BBC TV?

You're saying it's Matt LeBlanc.

To stay in the game, let's see if you're right.

Matt LeBlanc it is. Well done.

Of course, he played Joey Tribbiani in Friends.

OK, after five questions each, then, your scores are tied,

so we're going to go to sudden death. As you know,

all the members of the Think Tank have been used up,

so you are still on your own until we find a winner.

Donna, here's your next question...

The Big Sleep. Obviously, I've heard of it.

Very famous one.

Gosh, I...I can only think of Stephen King.

I'm convinced that's not right,

but I'm going to have to go with Stephen King.

-I can't think of any others.

-Stephen King.

The Big Sleep is a novel by which crime writer?

Your answer is Stephen King. Let's see if you're right.

It's Raymond Chandler.

-Oh.

-Raymond Chandler.

-It featured the private eye Philip Marlowe.

-Of course.

-OK.

Barbara, your chance to take the lead and win the game

if you get this answer right.

-Well, I only have a choice of seven.

-LAUGHTER

Definitely not flowing on Antarctica,

so that narrows it down to six.

It's not one of the major ones in Asia.

I'm sure it's not. Um, I'm thinking South America,

but, um... Or Africa.

I don't know exactly.

I think I'm going to go for South America.

The Orinoco is a major river on which continent?

You're saying South America.

If you're right, you will be our winner today.

For £1,400, let's see if you're right.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Well done.

Well done indeed. Congratulations, Barbara. You are today's winner.

-Fantastic.

-Thank you.

And well done, Donna. You gave it everything. So close.

I'm afraid you're not taking anything home

apart from, perhaps, a beautiful mental image of your time here

and a snapshot of these guys.

LAUGHTER OK?

-Thanks very much for playing.

-Thank you.

Barbara, as our winner, you'll definitely be taking home

your prize fund of £1,400 and, shortly, you'll have the chance

-to add an extra £1,000 to your winnings.

-Ah.

First, let's take a moment to congratulate

the Think Tanker who gave the most correct answers during the show.

And it was...

..Arminel! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Thank you.

-Well done. You know what?

Even when you weren't right, your explanations were just...

-LAUGHTER

-Impressive.

-Indeed.

-Well done.

-Thank you.

Barbara, you have one last chance, then, to boost your prize fund

quite significantly as you face our Question Impossible.

So, this is the toughest question of the whole show

because no-one in our Think Tank answered it correctly.

So, Barbara, if you can achieve what none of them could

and give us a correct answer, that extra £1,000 will be yours.

OK? Let's take a look at your Question Impossible.

Have a think about that

while we give you some help

because we're going to take a look at the wrong answers

that the Think Tank gave earlier, OK?

And this'll help you rule some things out.

What did they come up with?

Darts, cycling, boxing,

tiddlywinks, fencing,

archery, judo and rowing.

So, they came up with eight different answers

and all of them were wrong,

so that's quite a lot to knock off the list.

So, what do you think?

Well, I'm sure I've seen him competing in this.

I don't know which event, but swimming is...is my answer.

Swimming. OK, came to that one very quickly.

SHE LAUGHS OK.

The Briton Adam Peaty has won world titles in which sport?

You're saying swimming.

If you're right, you're taking home £2,400.

Fingers crossed for you. Let's see if you're right.

Swimming is the right answer!

Well done indeed. Fantastic. HE LAUGHS

Thank you.

You've just added another £1,000 to your prize fund, Barbara,

-so that means you are leaving with £2,400.

-Yes, thank you.

That'll get you up into the mountains to run around a bit.

-Yeah!

-Good. Well, well done. Thanks very much for playing.

-Fantastic. Thank you.

-Terrific job. Well done.

Thanks for watching. Do join us next time

when three more contestants will see

whether they can bank on the Think Tank.

-Until then, it's goodbye from them. ALL:

-Bye!

And it's goodbye from me. Bye-bye.
