Episode 13 Think Tank

Meet our Think Tank. They answered hundreds of general knowledge questions before the show.

The answers are in, but how helpful will they be to our three contestants?

Playing the game with us are Will, an insurance broker from Middlesex,

Cheryl, a crime investigator from Cwmbran,

and Scott, a mobile DJ from Essex.

This is Think Tank.

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

-Hi, guys. ALL:

-Hi.

This group of people includes Len, a retired engineer,

office assistant Anisha,

chemistry teacher Arminel,

ice hockey player Tristan,

retired local government manager Jackie,

pizza waiter Peter,

retired HR advisor Diane,

and Ken, a retired holiday rep.

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

Will, Cheryl and Scott, good to have you with us.

Will, you work as an insurance account handler

in Staines in Middlesex,

but you must have ventured further afield in your time, haven't you?

Yes, I've travelled overland to India and round Europe

a couple of times as well. I love travelling.

OK. How did you get to India?

It was a bus from Victoria Coach Station

to Kathmandu over 22 days.

Wow, that's brilliant.

What are you weaker subjects going to be, do you think?

Modern culture, soaps and history.

-Anisha.

-Yeah.

-You can manage

on pretty much all three of those, can you?

I can. If it's anything about the Kardashians

in Egypt watching EastEnders then I can help you.

LAUGHTER

OK. Cheryl, you're a crime investigator.

That sounds very mysterious.

-What do you actually do?

-People will ring in and say they've had

their car broken into or their shed was broken into -

I get all the details from them.

So this is for the police?

-Yes.

-OK, so I ring up and say,

"Cheryl, my shed's been broken into."

-What do you say?

-Has your neighbour seen anything?

-No, they didn't see anything.

-No. Are there any footprints?

-No, no footprints.

-No.

Do you have any suspects?

LAUGHTER

Yeah, OK, that sort of thing.

Yes. Well, I'm sure we're bound to find the culprit...

sooner or later. OK.

Scott, you're a mobile DJ. What sort of events do you play music at?

Yeah, I'm a resident wedding DJ.

OK. You must have seen a fair bit of dad dancing in your time?

When people have had a drink,

they like to experiment with new dance moves.

-Yeah.

-But I'm not really one to talk because I used to be a holiday rep

and, due to my astonishing lack of rhythm, they had to cancel

the cabaret cos I couldn't understand the dance moves.

-Really?

-Yeah.

Ken should be able to help you with that sort of thing

because you were a holiday rep. You can bust a move or two.

Yeah, ballroom dancing, line dancing, cancan occasionally.

-Wonderful.

-OK, welcome to all three of you.

So, over three rounds, our contestants will try to tap into

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

The two highest scorers go through to the final

but, in the end, just one will walk away with the cash prize.

So let's play the first round.

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

and every member of the Think Tank

will reveal the answer they gave before the show.

The correct answer will always be there somewhere,

but also in the mix - any number of wrong answers too.

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

OK? You get two questions each.

Will, you're up first, and here's the question.

You don't have to answer that just yet. Let's have a look at

what the Think Tank came up with on that one,

starting with Len.

Peter And Jane.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Orlando The Marmalade Cat.

Peter Pan.

003 1/2.

James Bond.

Jamaica Inn.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Eight different answers to choose from, Will.

Remember, the correct answer is always there somewhere.

What do you think?

Funnily enough, it's a very good film.

I saw it and he was even... much better in Mary Poppins.

Dick Van Dyke. It's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, you're saying.

Which famous children's book was written by Ian Fleming?

Will, you're saying Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Let's see if you're right.

You are indeed. Well done.

Well done, Ken.

Written in the early 1960s by Fleming for his son, Casper.

£200 goes into your prize fund and, Cheryl, here's your first question.

Well, don't look too worried

cos one of the answers from the Think Tank will be right.

Have a look at them. Len.

26.

22.5.

24.

22.

24.

Six.

24.

26.

You've got three 24s there. Doesn't necessarily mean that

that is automatically the right answer.

-What do you think?

-Well, Peter, I don't think it's six.

Definitely out, sorry.

-She may be slim but she ain't that slim, you're saying.

-No.

I really don't know the answer.

Len, 26,

I think that's too much cos notoriously models are very thin.

I'm going to go 24, but I don't know.

According to her modelling agency's official website

what is Kate Moss's waist size in inches?

Cheryl is saying 24.

Is she right?

-26.

-Oh, my goodness.

It was, in fact. 26-inch waist.

OK. Her dress size is in fact six, which is obviously, Peter,

-what you were thinking.

-Yeah.

Probably didn't read the question properly.

Tristan, you said 22. You do a bit of modelling, don't you?

Yeah, I figured that'd just be good size for a slim female model,

so 22 was what I went for.

Oh, OK. So I'm afraid nothing for you there, Cheryl, with that answer.

And we come to Scott.

Here's your first question.

Think Tank, what did you think?

Ministry.

Motor.

Ministry.

Motoring.

Ministry.

Motor.

Mechanical.

Ministry.

Four "ministry"s but some other choices in there as well.

What do you think?

Well, my knowledge of cars extends to colours of cars.

Beyond that I'm not very good.

So...

I'm going to put my faith in the Think Tank and I'm going to go with

-ministry.

-What does the M stand for

in the name of the motoring abbreviation MOT?

You're going with ministry.

Let's see if you're right.

Ministry it is. Well done.

Stands for the old Ministry of Transport,

but the term has remained.

So, Scott, you get £200 for your prize fund,

and, Will, we come back to you.

Have a think about that

while we see what the chorus line of the Think Tank came up with.

Rocky Horror Picture Show.

We Will Rock You.

We Will Rock you.

Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Rocky Horror Picture Show.

We Will Rock You.

Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Hair.

Rocky Horror Picture Show a very popular choice.

But as is We Will Rock You, actually.

Doesn't mean to say they are right.

No. Well, Ken's been 100% right so far, so...

And I actually went to see Hair when I was 15 with my cousin.

And it rings a bell about the love musicals.

I'm going to go with Hair, actually.

The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical is the subtitle of which

stage musical? Will is saying Hair.

Let's see if he's right.

Oh.

Hair it is.

First performed in the 1960s.

Very famous for one scene in particular

where the cast perform with no clothes on whatsoever.

-Is that right, Ken?

-Yes.

-Did you go and see it?

-Yes, I did.

With... The night I went, Princess Anne was there.

You nearly said you went to see it with Princess Anne.

-Sorry.

-But you were there the same night as her?

Yes, but she kept her clothes on that night.

We'll just leave it right there.

Well done.

And Will, you get £200.

Cheryl, here's your second question.

Have a think about that while we see what the Think Tank

came up with.

Tyrannosaurus rex.

Tyrannosaurus rex.

Triceratops.

Tyrannosaurus.

Tyrannosaurus.

Triceratops.

Triceratops.

Triceratops.

Very unusual to have only two choices

from the Think Tank, which makes it relatively

easy for you, Cheryl.

Still, you've got to go for one or the other.

Yeah. Well, tri is three,

so I'm going to go with triceratops.

The name of which dinosaur means "three-horned face"

when translated from the Greek? You're saying triceratops.

Let's see if you're right.

You are indeed.

Well done.

It's a herbivorous dinosaur which, as the name suggests,

had three horns on its face.

Now it would be too cheap, wouldn't it,

to suggest anyone here is a dinosaur.

Wouldn't it, Ken?

Now, listen here, young man.

LAUGHTER

£200 for Cheryl and we move on to Scott.

And here's the question.

Have a look at that and see

what the Think Tank came up with.

Belgium.

Germany.

France.

Canada.

America.

America.

America.

America.

Half of the Think Tank going for America,

but there are five choices in all for you, Scott.

Davis Cup being...

-Tennis.

-Tennis, OK.

My first thought was Belgium,

but the majority are saying America,

so do I stick with my thoughts or go with the crowd?

I'm going to stick with Belgium.

OK. Well, let's find out.

Which country did Great Britain defeat in the 2015 Davis Cup final?

You're going with Belgium. Let's see if you're right.

Belgium it is.

Very well done.

Len, you got that right.

Britain's first Davis Cup win since 1936.

Andy Murray and his brother Jamie

were the driving force behind that win.

Very clever to go with your gut feeling

because you can't always bank on the Think Tank.

A lot of the time they're very useful,

but just sometimes it doesn't work out.

Hey, I could have said it worse.

I could have said it worse.

So, Scott, you get £200 for your prize fund.

And that's the end of the first round.

Let's take a look at how you're doing.

Cheryl has £200.

Will and Scott are tied on £400.

So that could all change of course in our next round.

Every member of the Think Tank is holding two questions

which they answered correctly before the show.

You're going to take it in turns to pick someone from the Think Tank

whose knowledge you think you can match,

and for every correct answer

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

Once a Think Tanker has asked both of their questions,

they can't be picked again, OK? Will, you get to go first.

You've got the whole bunch to choose from.

Who would you like to go with?

Diane, please.

Why have you chosen Diane?

I don't really know. It was impetuous of me.

Impetuous of you.

-OK.

-So, Diane,

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

Good luck. It's a music question.

You like your music, do you like your rap?

My eldest son loves rap music,

and it's not my cup of tea.

So you might have heard this in the background at some point?

I will choose... I only know a few rappers.

I think his name is something M.

I can't think of the proper name for him.

I'll say Tinie Tempah. I can only think of Tinie Tempah as a rapper.

Tinie Tempah, OK.

Is it Tinie Tempah, Diane?

I'm sorry, it's not. It's Jay-Z.

Ah, Jay-Z.

Number two hit in 2009.

OK. Nothing for you there, Will, I'm afraid.

Cheryl, you're up next. You can choose anyone you like.

I'm going to go for Len.

Len, our retired engineer.

Well, I think you will get this one.

It's a TV series, and if you haven't watched it

you must have been on another planet.

Have you seen the series?

I watched every episode.

But I don't know who played the part of the Earl of Grantham.

Oh, gosh. I'm having a good day(!)

Can you see him at all?

Do you know which character the Earl of Grantham was?

Yeah, he's gorgeous.

LAUGHTER

-Does that count?

-I'm afraid not.

-Oh, OK.

Gorgeous, nice, black hair.

Try any name at all. Better to have a name then no name.

It might just possibly be the right one.

It popped in and it popped out.

Cos I know he was in...

Paddington Bear movie as well so...

Hugh Bonneville.

-Hugh Bonneville.

-Yeah.

-Is she right?

-Right on the button.

-There you go.

You see?

That's brilliant, brilliant.

He did appear in Paddington and Notting Hill.

You see, you think you don't know and then all of a sudden you do.

Whether he's gorgeous or not is a matter for you to judge.

Couldn't possibly say. £200 to you, Cheryl.

Scott, you can still choose from the whole Think Tank.

I would like to pick Anisha, please.

So this has got nothing to do with film, TV, music.

Sorry about that. It's basically about Egypt

and the reason why I got this question right is because

I visited Egypt last year,

and we flew to Cairo and we saw the pyramids and it was amazing.

Right, so, my question is...

Howard Carter unearthed the tomb of which pharaoh in 1922?

I'm disappointed that it doesn't involve film, TV music, however,

I'm quite glad it involves Egypt because I've visited Egypt and Cairo

and I believe it's Tutankhamen.

Tutankhamen. Is that the right answer?

-It is. Well done.

-Well done.

Tutankhamen, known as the Boy King.

OK. £200 for you, Scott, and we come back to Will.

Still the whole field.

I'll...go with Tristan, please.

-Tristan.

-This is a geography question. I actually don't know how

I got this right but it seemed to click at the time.

Just stuck in my head. So good luck.

Bodrum is a tourist resort in which country, Will?

Right, it's somewhere in northern Europe, I believe.

But I have heard of it.

I'm thinking Morocco.

I can't think of any other country it might be

so I'll stick with my first feeling of Morocco.

OK. Morocco is your answer.

It is right?

That was a good guess, but the answer is Turkey.

Turkey was the answer we wanted.

On the south-west corner of Turkey on the Mediterranean Sea.

So nothing for you there, Will.

Cheryl, your second question of this round.

You can still go with anyone you like.

I'm going to go with Len again.

-There was a bit of telepathy.

-She fancies me, doesn't she?

-Yeah.

Don't tell the wife.

-Len, let's hear a question that you got correct earlier.

-All right.

Which type of dog has a name

that means badger hound when translated from the German?

How good's your German?

Non-existent.

I can say Nein, Nein Fraulein but that's about it.

-LAUGHTER That won't do it.

-No.

Well, "hound" is "hund".

So I'm going to say dachshund.

Dachshund is what you're going with.

-Len?

-Ooh. On the button again.

-SHE GASPS There you go.

-No way!

-Well done.

Originally bred to hunt badgers

and other hole-dwelling animals, if you like. So, well done.

Dachshund, that was a good guess.

£200 for you again, Cheryl.

And Scott, we come to you.

Anybody but Len.

Erm, this time I'm going to go with Jackie.

Jackie, our retired local government manager.

-JACKIE:

-Good choice.

-LAUGHTER

I was glad when I got this question, cos I'm quite into food and drink -

you wouldn't be able to tell, but I am quite into food and drink.

And the question is...

Conference and Concorde are varieties of which food?

Uh...

So, I have no clue as to what it may be,

so I'm going to take

a guess at...

apple.

Apple. Is he right?

So near but so far.

-It's pear.

-Oh!

-Pear.

Conference pears, Concorde pears.

No money there for you, Scott,

and Will, we come to the last question of this round for you.

And again, everybody apart from Len.

Ken has been very good in the first round,

so I'll try Ken this time, please.

OK, fine.

I think you'll get this. It's well within your capabilities.

Bamber Gascoigne was the original host

of which TV quiz show first shown in 1962?

Right, it's one of my family's favourite programmes, actually,

and it's doing quite well with Jeremy Paxman in it now.

It's University Challenge.

University Challenge. Ken, is he right?

Yes, perfect. Good answer.

Well done.

Bamber Gascoigne was host of the programme from 1962 to 1987.

25 years, an amazing run.

£200 to you, Will.

Cheryl, we come to you.

-Well, I can't have Len again, I'm sorry.

-No.

LAUGHTER

-I'll have Jackie, please.

-Oh, right.

Good choice again.

Got some fabulous contestants.

I knew the answer to this one

because I've actually been to this place.

Well, the place where this person was born.

The play Amadeus is about the short life of which composer?

I know the song Rock Me, Amadeus

but that's about as much as I do know.

Oh, dear. Erm...

Got a feeling it might be Mozart.

-Mozart's your answer?

-Yeah. It's as good as anything.

Is that the composer we're looking for?

-That's correct. Mozart.

-Well done.

The play was written by Peter Shaffer,

and suggests that Mozart's downfall

was brought about by his rival, Salieri.

£200 to you, Cheryl. Very well done there.

And Scott, here is your last question of this round.

Who do you want to go with? Anybody apart from Len and Jackie.

I am going to stick with what worked the first time round

-and go back with Anisha.

-Anisha.

OK, so this is kind of a film question, actually,

because it was a book made into a film, so hopefully you'll get it.

Erm...

Charlie... I know it's something...

I think that it's something quite short.

Erm...

I can name pretty much all the other children in it.

Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt.

Erm, he would be Charlie...

-Is it Crockett?

-Crockett.

It is Charlie Crockett, Anisha?

-It's not, it's Bucket.

-Bucket!

-Bucket.

-Oooh.

-Sorry!

-Crockett, Bucket, nearly there -

-just didn't quite make it.

-Something that sounds like that, yeah.

Published in 1964, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.

Great tale. No money for you there, Scott.

And that brings us to the end of the round,

so let's see how you've been getting along.

Will and Scott are tied on £600.

In the lead with £800, it's Cheryl.

APPLAUSE

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

I'm afraid, but there is one last chance

for any of you to take the lead.

So, Will and Scott, you can still catch up.

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

Two members of the Think Tank will then come along

and tell you the answer that they gave before the show.

Only one of them is going to be right,

and they're going to tell you why they believe they are correct.

OK? If you side with the right person,

you'll add an all-important £200 to your prize fund.

Five questions only remain before we do have to say goodbye

to one of you, so choose your answers carefully.

First up, then, we're going to hear answers from Arminel and Tristan.

And here's the question.

-Arminel.

-Well, I don't know much about supermodels.

-SHE LAUGHS

-But this one I've heard of,

and so because I've heard of her,

I reckon that she was big in the industry, and the name is -

and I hope I'm pronouncing it right - Gisele Bundchen.

It could be GEE-sele Bundchen, but I believe that she's Brazilian,

although it is a German name, but it's a lovely name.

I've heard of her so she must be a major earner.

Gisele Bundchen, OK. And Tristan.

I went for Naomi Campbell

because she's been in a lot of big campaigns

and you've seen her do her walk down some major fashion designers.

-So Naomi Campbell, yeah.

-OK.

Naomi Campbell or Gisele Bundchen. Those are the choices.

They both believe they have the right answer

but only one is correct.

Contestants, please lock in your answers.

OK, Will's gone with Naomi Campbell.

Cheryl and Scott have chosen Gisele Bundchen.

Who's right?

-Gisele Bundchen it is.

-Oh!

SHE LAUGHS

-Good job.

-Astonishing. Absolutely astonishing.

Estimated earnings in 2015,

44 million.

Career earnings

of 430 million.

-Wow.

-Wow.

-Naomi Campbell not even in the top 20.

But the most surprising thing for me

-is that you knew about Gisele Bundchen.

-I know!

-But it's just such a nice name.

-It's a great name. Lovely name.

-Great name.

-Absolutely right.

-And she is Brazilian, isn't she?

-Yes.

-Yeah, with a German name. Great.

-Well done indeed. Thank you.

So, Cheryl and Scott get £200

and we move on to the next question, where we hear from Ken and Peter.

Here it is.

-Ken.

-Well, I think the key word there is nominated,

and not necessarily won.

I've sort of searched my memory banks

and I've been... quite a few of the old actors

even back to the silent days,

but this one, I think, is the one -

Meryl Streep.

Meryl Streep. OK. Peter?

I went for Judi Dench,

because I remember she got nominated for one

for just appearing as Queen Elizabeth in Shakespeare In Love.

And it was only a very short role,

and she was a bit embarrassed about it, actually.

All right. Judi Dench or Meryl Streep.

Those are the possibilities. Please lock in your choice.

All three of you have gone with Meryl Streep.

Confidence there. Let's see if you're right.

You are indeed. Well done.

So, Meryl Streep nominated 19 times.

She's won three times only, though,

with Kramer Vs Kramer, Sophie's Choice and The Iron Lady.

Judi Dench, on the other hand,

nominated seven times and won once with,

as you mentioned, Shakespeare In Love.

So, well done, Ken.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

£200, then, for all of you.

And next we hear from Anisha and Len.

Here's the question.

Geography question for you, Anisha.

Yeah, I was really bad with geography.

I knew about the compasses - "never eat Shredded Wheat" - and that's it.

-So...

-Hold on.

-"Never eat Shredded Wheat."

-Never eat Shredded Wheat.

BOTH: North, east, south, west.

-OK.

-That's always stuck with me,

-and it's helped when I'm looking for stuff, so thanks.

-Right.

I went for Wales.

It was between Wales and Northern Ireland,

so I just thought Wales.

And that's it.

-You just thought Wales.

-Simple, basically. Yeah.

-OK.

Any more scientific basis to your answer, Len?

-Yes. Your colleague, Carol Kirkman, the weather girl...

-Kirkwood.

Kirkwood. She stands there and she's pointing to all these parts

of the country, describing the weather,

-and it's Northern Ireland.

-Oh, OK.

-Northern Ireland's my answer.

OK. All right. Northern Ireland or Wales are the choices.

Contestants, please lock in your answer.

All three going with Northern Ireland.

Let's see if you're right.

Northern Ireland it is, indeed.

Well done.

Northern Ireland is 5,456 square miles.

Wales - just over 8,000.

So quite a big difference between the two.

Well remembered from watching the weather forecast.

LAUGHTER Carol will be very happy to hear that.

But not necessarily that you think her name is Kirkman.

But still, it's a start. LAUGHTER

-Well done, guys.

-Thank you.

-Thank you very much.

OK. £200 goes to all of you.

And for our next question, we hear answers from Jackie and Arminel.

And the question is...

-Jackie.

-I'm going to shock you all now.

-LAUGHTER

-Even the Think Tankers.

As I'm the Northern woman, from Lancashire,

-but my mother was from London.

-Really?

-So I am half London.

-Ah.

-A syrup is a syrup of figs,

which is a wig.

Wig. OK. Arminel?

Well, I'm actually very fond of Cockney rhyming slang myself.

I often go and take a butcher's - butcher's hook, look.

So I thought to myself, "What can go with syrup?"

And I decided syrup tart - heart.

-So heart it is.

-Heart it is.

-OK.

Heart or wig.

Make your choice, please, and lock it in.

All three of you going with wig.

OK. Going with our half Londoner.

-Yeah!

-Let's see if you're right.

Ey up, lad!

LAUGHTER

Wig it is. Well done.

Well done, Jackie.

All right. Well done. Thank you very much indeed.

-Thank you.

-£200 goes to all of you.

And for our final question in this round,

we hear answers from Diane and Ken.

Here it is.

-Diane?

-OK.

I said Spanish because it's quite widely spoken in South America,

and I'm actually learning Spanish at the moment, and very often,

the Spanish teacher refers to

how the vowels and the words are pronounced differently

if you're speaking Spanish in South American countries.

So I went for Spanish.

Ken?

Well, I think it's Portuguese.

I seem to remember there is one big country in South America

that does speak Portuguese and the others are all Spanish,

and I think Brazil is the one that speaks Portuguese.

Portuguese as opposed to Spanish.

Please lock in your answers.

Will went with Spanish.

Cheryl and Scott have chosen Portuguese. Who's right?

-Portuguese is the answer.

-Ooh!

Sorry! Well done.

Brazil is a former colony of Portugal and is, in fact,

the largest Portuguese-speaking country in the world,

so well remembered, Ken.

And that means that Cheryl and Scott both add £200 more

to their prize funds. And so, contestants,

that is the end of round three. Shall we take a look at your totals?

In the lead is Cheryl with £1,800,

followed by Scott with £1,600.

Trailing behind with £1,200 is Will.

So, sadly, Will, we have to say goodbye to you.

Thanks very much indeed for playing. I hope you've had a good time with us.

-Lovely. Thank you very much.

-Excellent. Thank you very much.

Well done, Cheryl and Scott.

You two will now compete to take home the money you've earned so far

in our final.

So, Cheryl, if you win, have you had any thoughts about what you might do with the winnings?

Oh, yes. I'd love to go back to Orlando.

-Back to Orlando?

-Yes. We went there on a family holiday.

Unfortunately, my great-niece Jessica, who's five,

had got chickenpox and got confined to barracks.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-So you'd like to have another go at that?

-Yes.

-OK.

-Scott?

-I would also...

I'd like to take my little boy to Orlando, as well.

So if Cheryl wins, she can take my boy!

LAUGHTER

You could all go together. One happy family.

-Well, good luck to you both.

-Thank you.

Our final is a general knowledge battle.

I'm going to ask you five questions each and whoever gets the most

right answers will then take home the money that they've built up

during the programme. Fortunately,

the Think Tank is still here to help you.

You can pick someone to consult with before you answer your questions.

Each member, though, can only be picked once.

The difference in the final, as opposed to the rest of the show,

is that they haven't seen any of these questions before,

so they are pretty much as much in the dark as you are.

OK? Cheryl, you built up the most money during the main game,

so we're going to start with you. And here's your first question.

Who would you like, then, from the Think Tank to help you?

I'm going to go back to Len.

I've got an idea, Len, but I'd like you to...

-Well, I've got an idea, as well.

-OK.

Do you want to give me your idea first?

Yeah, Nutcracker Suite?

Oh, we're on the button again, we are.

I'm thinking of Nutcracker Suite. I think. I think.

It's your decision, but if I was standing there,

-I'd go for Nutcracker Suite.

-Yeah, Nutcracker Suite.

-The Nutcracker Suite?

-Yeah.

The Sugar Plum Fairy is a character in which work by Tchaikovsky?

Cheryl, you're saying Nutcracker Suite.

Let's see if you're right.

The Nutcracker. It is indeed.

Well done, Len.

Based on a short story by ETA Hoffmann, first performed in 1892.

Great teamwork again between you two.

Working very well. OK. That's one to you, Cheryl.

Scott, here's your first question.

How good are you at your planets?

-Awful.

-Ah.

So I am going to

enquire if Arminel could help me

with this question, please.

-Yes, no, I CAN help you.

-Wonderful.

-It's Neptune.

-Neptune.

So just trust me on this one.

-OK.

-It's Neptune.

-She wants you to trust her.

-It is your decision.

-I place my life in her hands.

-and go with...

-Ooh.

-Rash, but...

-LAUGHTER

-Maybe just for this answer.

-Yeah, just for this.

-So you're going to say Neptune?

-Yes.

-All right.

Which planet in the solar system is named after

the Roman god of the sea? Scott, you're saying Neptune.

Let's see if you're right.

-You are indeed. Neptune's the right answer.

-Thank you.

-Pleasure.

Neptune is the eighth and furthest planet from the sun

in our solar system. OK. 1-1.

Cheryl, here's your second question.

-Ooh!

-Do you drink those very often?

-No.

-OK.

The only screwdriver I know is the one where you turn the screw.

-The DIY?

-Yeah.

-All right.

-Who do you think can help you here?

-Erm...

Anisha. She seems like a fun girl who would like a night out.

-Yeah, I don't drink at all.

-Oh, no!

-LAUGHTER

So I will take a stab at it.

OK, so if you were going to have a Screwdriver cocktail,

that sounds pretty lethal, right?

So what's a lethal spirit?

Vodka is pretty bad.

Gin. Whisky.

Did you have any thoughts?

All three of those!

LAUGHTER

Screwdriver cocktail. Erm...

I would... I think maybe vodka,

purely because I know that when my sister drinks vodka, for example,

she wakes up with a very, very sore head,

so I would probably say vodka.

-I don't think I'm going to go with vodka.

-OK.

Because I know that's part of a Harvey Wallbanger, but...

It might still be vodka.

-I don't know. It's my guess.

-I'm going to go...

-whisky.

-Whisky.

-Yeah. I have no idea.

-OK.

-Fingers crossed.

What is the principal alcoholic content in a Screwdriver cocktail?

Cheryl, you're saying whisky.

Let's see if you're right.

-Vodka was the answer we wanted.

-Oh!

-Sorry!

-So vodka and orange.

Vodka also does feature in a Harvey Wallbanger, but, of course,

you can use it in more than one cocktail.

Should have taken the advice from the non-drinker here.

-LAUGHTER

-I know!

-There you go.

-Yeah.

All right. So no score for you there.

Still 1-1. Scott, you could take the lead on this answer.

Here's your question.

-Do you follow golf much?

-Yes.

Erm, I'm pretty confident that I know the answer.

-Mm-hm.

-I think I'm going to ask Ken

if you remember that particular Spanish golfer.

Our retired holiday rep, Ken.

Well, I didn't actually live in Spain until 1990.

Erm, but I think,

if I can say it correctly, it's Sale...vero Ballesteros.

Yeah, I think so too. Seve Ballesteros.

Seve Ballesteros.

Which Spanish golfer won the Open Championship

three times between 1979 and 1988?

Scott, you're saying Seve Ballesteros.

Let's see if you're right.

You are indeed. Well done.

He also won the US Masters on two occasions

and then sadly died in 2011.

So 2-1 to you, Scott.

Cheryl, your third question. Still plenty of time. Here we go.

Who do you want to put your money with on this one?

Who looks like they've got plenty of money?

Well, you've got Jackie, Peter, Diane and Tristan to choose from.

I'm going to go Jackie.

-Hmm. I mean, I like £10 notes.

-LAUGHTER

There's no doubt about it. But they usually pass through my hands

that quick that I don't get the chance

to read it as it's going through.

Have you any thoughts yourself? Did anything spring to mind?

The only one that springs to mind is William Shakespeare, but...

-Right.

-That's the only one I can think of.

I had the image of somebody with really curly hair.

You know, like somebody 1700-and-something.

Erm... But I'm really going out on a limb here.

Er... I'll certainly have a look next time.

Next time I get one, definitely.

Erm...

I really can't help you.

I'm sorry, but I don't think I can help you.

No?

-Oh, dear.

-I know!

I'm not choosing very well, am I, Bill?

-Well, no, she's a lovely choice most of the time.

-Yeah.

-She just hasn't got the answer for you.

-No.

-OK.

So you may have to come up with something yourself here, I think.

It's going to have to be William Shakespeare.

I don't think it is, but it's the only one that I know

-is on a banknote, so...

-Well, you've done pretty well

-guessing so far on this programme.

-I think my luck's run out.

OK. The Bank of England £10 note introduced in 2000

featured which man on the back?

Cheryl, you're saying it's William Shakespeare.

Let's see.

-It's Charles Darwin.

-Oh!

Charles Darwin.

Shakespeare has appeared on a note in the past,

-but it was the £20 note.

-Ah!

So no score for you there.

Scott, you're 2-1 up at the moment

and here is your third question.

Just three members of the Think Tank -

Peter, Diane and Tristan - to choose from.

Er, I'm going to choose Diane.

I believe they went to Rydell High.

-Rydell High.

-OK.

I can't argue with that.

I really can't, because I didn't...

I mean, that's really good knowledge, to remember the school.

-That's what you want to go with?

-Yeah, please.

-OK.

What is the name of the high school attended by Danny and Sandy

in the film musical Grease?

Scott's saying Rydell High.

Let's see if he's in the right place.

He is indeed. It was Rydell High.

-Well done!

-Well done.

Grease first performed in 1971.

When it came to the West End, Richard Gere was in the lead role

and, of course, John Travolta played it in the film.

OK. 3-1 is the score now.

To stay in the game, Cheryl, you do have to get this right,

with your fourth question, OK?

Here we go.

Ooh!

So, to help you, Tristan or Peter.

I'm going to go with Peter.

I'm afraid I don't really do many diets, sadly,

but is it grain index, or...?

Something to do with carbohydrates, isn't it?

So to have a low GI you have to have low carbohydrates.

I don't think it's grain.

But I've no idea myself.

Remember, you need to get this right to stay in the game.

I think I is definitely index.

I'm not sure what the G is, really.

-No.

-It's something that links with carbohydrates.

I don't quite remember what it is.

Glucose index?

-Glycogen?

-It might be glucose.

Shall we try glucose index?

I'll go with Peter, but I...

So, let's be clear, Cheryl.

It's your answer. What is it going to be?

-Glucose index.

-Glucose index.

-Yeah.

For what does the GI stand in terms of the "GI diet"?

This to stay in the game.

Cheryl is saying glucose index.

Let's see if she's right.

-Glycaemic Index...

-Ah!

-..was the answer.

-Oh!

So it means congratulations to you, Scott.

You are the winner. Well done.

So, commiserations, Cheryl.

I'm afraid you don't get to take anything home, apart from

a story to tell your neighbours and friends about this lot.

LAUGHTER

A story that they'll probably never believe!

-Thanks for being with us. Well played.

-Thanks, Bill.

And, Scott, as our winner, you're definitely taking home

your prize of £1,600.

You will shortly have the chance

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

First, shall we take a moment

to congratulate the Think Tanker who gave the most correct answers

during the show? And it was...

..Ken. Well done.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Well done.

That night out with Princess Anne to see Hair worked wonders for you,

-didn't it?

-Yes, she paid for it, as well.

LAUGHTER

See what I mean about stories they'll never believe? OK.

Scott, you have one last chance to seriously boost your prize,

as you face our Question: Impossible.

So, Scott, this is the toughest question of the whole show

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

So if you can achieve what none of them could

and give us a correct answer, then an extra £1,000 will be yours, OK?

Let's take a look, then, at your Question: Impossible.

While you think about that,

we're going to give you a little bit of help

by showing you all the wrong answers that the Think Tank gave earlier,

and that'll help knock out one or two options. So here we go.

Not too many wrong answers in the sense that they've all gone

for the same sort of thing.

Manchester, Macclesfield, Mexico City.

That's pretty much it, really. So only three names knocked out.

Does it help you at all? What do you think?

Mancs are from Manchester.

Geordies are from Newcastle.

Monkey Hangers from Hartlepool.

Sanddancers are from South Shields,

which means Mackems are from Sunderland.

Sunderland is what you want to go with?

-I believe so.

-OK.

At the moment, you have £1,600.

This is for an extra £1,000.

The word "Mackem" refers to people from which city?

Scott, you're saying Sunderland.

If you're right, you'll be leaving with £2,600.

-Fingers crossed for you, Scott.

-Thank you.

Let's see if you're right.

Sunderland it is! Well done indeed. Congratulations.

-Well done, Scott.

-Thank you.

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

You will be leaving with £2,600. Well done indeed.

-How do you feel about that?

-I'm over the moon. Thank you very much.

-A great holiday for you and your son.

-Yep.

-Going to Florida?

-Yep.

-Have a great time.

-Thank you very much.

-Well done. OK.

Thanks for watching. Do join us again next time,

when three more contestants will see

whether they can bank on the Think Tank.

Until then, it's goodbye from the thinkers...

-ALL:

-Bye!

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