Episode 14 Think Tank

Meet our Think Tank. They've answered hundreds

of general knowledge questions before the show. Their answers

are in, but how helpful will they be to the contestants?

Playing the game are Graham,

a betting shop manager from North London,

Deirdra, a fundraising and project manager from Dundee,

and David, a civil servant from Bournemouth.

This is Think Tank.

Welcome to the show, welcome, as ever, to our Think Tank,

which includes a former holiday rep, a professional musician,

and a man that's played every panto role going.

Oh, yes, he has!

ALL: Oh, no, he hasn't!

And they'll be here to help you throughout the game.

Graham, you manage a betting shop on Oxford Street, in central London?

Yeah, I'm privileged to work there.

Have you worked out the odds on your winning today?

Yeah, it was very long. Wouldn't like to say!

Oh, you never know, you never know. You might come in as an outsider.

As well as sort of dealing with sports, you must play one or two,

-I'd have thought?

-Yeah, I play football, and I also got

the opportunity to play football at Wembley last year as well.

-Who were you playing for?

-It was just a work competition,

I got nominated, from various, like, colleagues of mine.

Arminel's son works for the FA, actually.

For somebody who doesn't know anything about sport,

you know a lot about football, though, don't you?

Well, I think my son would very much dispute that,

but I know surprising little nuggets about it.

Little nuggets? She's your person! All right.

Deirdra, you are a fundraising and projects manager from Dundee,

with the Dundee Science Centre, have you always worked in Scotland?

No, actually I moved here from California about 14 years ago.

I worked for NASA for 15 years doing crew training,

and I worked on the space shuttle, and International Space Station.

Wow! Amazing. Anything space related

is going to be a good subject for you, isn't it?

I hope there's some space-related questions, yes.

Yeah. And David, you are a civil servant from Bournemouth.

You actually work for the Forestry Commission, don't you?

That's right. So, I manage the recreation facilities

across the public forest estate in the south coast.

-You like being in the great outdoors?

-Absolutely love it.

Mountain biking, running, hill walking, anything.

Takes a lot of energy, doesn't it?

-It does, but that comes down to eggs.

-Eggs?!

-Eggs, yes.

-Eat about 20 a week.

-Really?!

-Yup.

-Well, if you're looking for some scrambled intelligence

here this afternoon...

LAUGHTER

All right. Welcome to the programme, all three of you.

Over three rounds, then, 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 progress to the final.

Ultimately, though, just one will walk away with the cash prize.

So, let's play the first round.

So, here I'm going to ask you a question,

then every member of the Think Tank

will reveal the answer they gave before the show.

The correct answer is always going to be in there somewhere,

but there will be also any number of mistakes.

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

You get two questions each.

Graham, you're up first, so here's the question we asked the Think Tank.

Have a think on that.

And let's see what the Think Tank has to say.

-Jackie.

-Jon Pertwee.

Benedict Cumberbatch.

Benedict Cumberbatch.

Tom Baker.

Jon Pertwee.

Matt Baker.

David Tennant.

Benedict Cumberbatch.

So, a whole range of answers there.

Anything leaping out at you?

I'm not sure, it's a total guess. I'm going to go for Matt Baker.

Matt Baker is your answer,

for the actor who's played the title role

in the most episodes of the TV show Doctor Who.

Let's see if you're right.

Tom Baker it is.

Tom Baker.

Matt Baker hosts the One Show.

Max, maybe you were thinking of Matt Smith?

Or Tom Baker as well.

Or Tom Baker would have been the right answer.

Tristan, Anisha, Ken.

Benedict Cumberbatch?

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Anything wrong with that?

I just don't remember him playing too many episodes as Doctor Who.

He was heavily disguised a lot.

Yes! In Sherlock, yes.

-Oh, yeah!

-Sherlock Holmes.

-That's him.

-Doctor Who.

Obviously a very close connection between those two characters.

I don't think so... OK.

Tom Baker played more than 170 episodes as Doctor Who,

from 1974 to 1981.

I'm afraid, then, Graham,

you don't get to add anything to your kitty.

Don't I get points for the surname, no?

No. No, you don't. Deirdra.

You've seen how it works, let's see your question.

Let's see what the Think Tank had to say.

-Jackie.

-Devon.

Yorkshire.

Essex.

Kent.

Suffolk.

Kent.

Kent.

Essex.

Geographically varied answers, there, to choose from, Deirdra.

I like to think of myself as someone who knows a lot about geography,

but that's a tough one... for me. Let's see.

I can't decide if Kent's more easterly than Essex.

But I will go ahead and say Kent.

Three of the Think Tank saying Kent as the most easterly point

on the British mainland, so...

Let's see if they're right, and you with them.

Suffolk is the answer.

Jackie. Devon.

Do you know your east from your west?

Not really, no, I have to think a bit, but I like it.

So I wanted it to be there.

OK. Anisha and Ken, you said Essex.

-It's where you're from, of course.

-It is.

I mean, to be the most easterly point on the British mainland,

-you have to have a bit of coastline, do you think?

-Got Southend!

You have indeed. Do you know, you're absolutely right.

That's... That's me told.

Most easterly point is in fact Lowestoft.

-Oh, yes.

-Oh. Yeah.

OK. So, no money for you there, Deirdra,

but plenty of chances later in the programme.

David. Let's see your question.

Let's see what the Think Tank thought.

Apple.

Pearr.

Lemon.

Plum.

Pear.

Peach.

Apple.

Plum.

So you've got a whole orchard to choose from, pretty much, there.

Yeah. Not one I know instantly.

Given that his first name begins with P,

I think I'm going to have to go for plum.

Plum, you say, is the name

which PG Wodehouse was known to his close friends by.

Let's have a look.

Plum is the right answer. APPLAUSE

Well done.

Wodehouse's full name was Pelham Grenville Wodehouse,

so Plum is a short name for Pelham.

Peachy sounds rather nice.

Particularly to go with his style of writing.

Well, absolutely, and I thought Peachy, PG, worked quite well too.

Yes, indeed, and Jeeves might say to Bertie Wooster,

"How is Sir feeling today?" And he'd go, "Peachy, Jeeves!"

-Exactly.

-Sadly not the right answer.

There you go. Well done, David, £200 is added to your prize fund,

and we come back, then, to Graham, for your second question.

Have a think about that, while we see what the Think Tank had to say.

People.

Peace.

Protect.

Protection.

Protection.

Protection.

Protection.

Pets.

So, a lot of protection, there,

half of the Think Tank going for that.

One for protect, and a couple of other choices, Graham.

Again, I'm not 100% sure what the answer is.

But I'm going to go with the majority on this one,

and I'm going to go for protection.

You're saying protection is the word that P stands for

in the name of the animal rights organisation, PETA.

Let's see if you, and half of the Think Tank, have got it right.

People is the answer. Only Jackie was correct.

-Had you get that one, Jackie?

-If I'm being honest, it was a guess.

Well, it was a very good guess,

because it stands for People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals.

Sadly, Graham, though, you don't get to add anything to your cash fund.

Deirdra, here's your next question.

Have a think on that, while we ask the Think Tank.

10.

10.

15.

4.

10.

4.

1,000.

10.

Lots of people going for 10.

You going to get 10 out of 10 on this answer, Deirdra?

Numbers question!

I was thinking three, cos tetra, but...

There can't be 1,000 books, 1,000 entries...

LAUGHTER

I think I'm going to have to go with

what most of the folks in the Think Tank have said,

and go with 10.

Go with 10. How many entries are there in a tetralogy of books?

-Four.

-Oh, yeah.

Once again, the majority of the Think Tank

gave the answer that wasn't right.

If you remember Tetris, the game, blocks of four tiles together,

you had to fit them together,

so Max and Arminel, you're right on the money.

-Yes.

-Well done, guys.

-You studied literature, of course, didn't you?

I absolutely did, and I read at least four books.

Lucy, do you know anybody,

any authors who have written 1,000 books?

I think my brain was thinking of like a collection of books,

like a library.

Yes. That's a library, not a tetralogy.

OK. So, Deirdra,

I'm afraid you don't get to add to your total, and David,

we come to you, for your second question.

Let's see what the Think Tank had to say.

Elton John.

Rod Stewart.

Michael Jackson.

Morrissey.

Elton John.

Michael Jackson.

Freddie Mercury.

Cliff Richard.

OK, so very split opinion, there, on that question.

Do you follow football, much?

Yeah, fairly closely.

Fairly confident that Vicarage Road is the home of Watford,

and I think previously sat on the board was Elton John,

so I'm going to go for Elton John.

Are you going to hit the back of the net with this one?

Let's see.

You have indeed. Elton John.

APPLAUSE

Elton John owns the club...

-Ah, OK.

-Actually, for two periods. 1976 to '87, and from 1997 to 2002.

So, well done David. £200 goes into your prize fund,

and that brings us to the end of the first round.

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

Graham and Deirdra are tied on nothing, so far.

But in the lead with £400 is David. Well done.

APPLAUSE

That could all change in our next round.

Every member the Think Tank is holding two questions

which they answered correctly before the show.

You, now, contestants,

will take it in turns to pick someone in the Think Tank

whose knowledge you think you can match,

and for every correct answer,

another £200 will be added to your prize fund.

Once, though, a Think Tanker's asked both of their questions,

they can't be picked again. OK?

So, Graham, you get to go first.

You've got all of them to choose from.

Who do you want to go with?

I'm going to go for Tristan, because I hope he's got a sports question.

Tristan, our ice hockey player.

He's a pretty sporty type, so let's see.

Unfortunately, I don't have a sports question this time,

it's a movie question, hopefully you get it.

Films are your thing, aren't they?

Er, I used to work in a video shop, so I did enjoy film,

but I know Pan's Labyrinth isn't one of my favourites,

I've seen it but I can't remember a lot of it.

I know it's set a few years ago, so I'm going to go for England.

The film Pan's Labyrinth

is set in which European country?

You're saying England. Is he right?

Sorry, the correct answer is Spain.

Oh. Pan's Labyrinth, set in Spain.

You don't get to add anything to your kitty.

Deirdra, you're up next, and you've still got everybody to choose from.

-Who do you want to pick?

-I think I'm going to pick Jackie today.

Jackie, I hope you have some easy questions for me.

Well, it was easy for me,

because this was one of my favourite films ever,

and the question is...

Who played the lead role in the film Shirley Valentine?

Do you remember that film?

Yes, I do. One of my mother's favourite films.

Oh, thank you(!)

LAUGHTER

No, I... I saw it when it came out as well.

I think it might be Brenda Blethyn, I don't know for sure.

I'm taking a guess.

-Going to take a guess with Brenda Blethyn.

-Yes.

As the lead role in the film Shirley Valentine.

I can see where you're coming from with Brenda Blethyn,

but no, it's Pauline Collins.

Oh, yeah, Pauline Collins. Oh!

And it's the story of a bored housewife

who takes a life-changing holiday to Greece.

So no money for you, I'm afraid, Deirdra.

David, you are up next,

you can still ask all eight of the Think Tank.

OK. They look quite scared, but I'm going to go for Cleve,

to get me off to a good start.

Musician, Cleve.

I knew the answer to this because it is actually a music question,

but it's based on a film.

-OK.

-The question is...

Which soul singer plays

the role of Mrs Murphy in the 1980 film the Blues Brothers?

Not one that comes easily.

Going to have to take a punt, and I'll say Gladys Knight.

Gladys Knight, you say, is the soul singer

who played the role of Mrs Murphy in the Blues Brothers.

Was it her?

She's actually my favourite soul singer,

believe it or not, but it's actually Aretha Franklin.

Aretha Franklin was the answer.

Blues Brothers, of course,

starred Dan Ackroyd and the late John Belushi.

Shame, though, for you, David, no money on that question.

So we come round to Graham again,

and you can still choose anybody you like.

Since I've got a movie question wrong already,

I might go for my other passion which is also music,

so I might go for Cleve again.

-Cleve.

-Unfortunately, it's a film question.

I'm only joking, obviously, I'm only joking.

It's a sports question, I think this might be up your street,

-if you know about sport.

-Hope so.

You deal with sport all the time.

This has got to be your territory, hasn't it?

Hopefully I'm correct. I think it's basketball.

A famous name in which sport? Basketball? Is that correct?

Absolutely, a forward with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Cleveland Cavaliers, indeed.

Well done. APPLAUSE

£200 to you, you're off the mark.

Deirdra, you can ask anybody apart from Cleve.

Well, the pressure's on,

since I'm the only one with no money in the pot,

so I think I'm going to ask Ken what his question might be.

Retired holiday rep, Ken.

This may be a bit difficult for you, so you're forewarned.

Though your mother likes films, I understand.

This is about the famous Ealing comedies.

I know this movie, I've seen it a million times,

it's one of my favourite movies.

And my mind has gone blank.

So I'm just going to have to say Lavender Hill Mob,

even though I know it's not right.

You're going to go with Lavender Hill Mob.

Well, that was a good try. It's The Ladykillers.

The Ladykillers.

Starred Katie Johnson,

Alec Guinness, Peter Sellers.

I think it had Herbert Lom in it as well.

And they did a remake with Tom Hanks.

Yeah, they did. You were so close.

Lavender Hill Mob was, of course, an Ealing comedy, as well.

Sadly, Deirdra, no money for you just yet.

And David, we come to you.

You can still choose anybody you like, apart from Cleve.

OK. I'm going to put my faith in Max, this time.

Well, David, we'll see if you've got your thinking cap on with this one.

Cogito ergo sum,

meaning I think therefore I am, is a famous quote by which philosopher?

A couple come to mind quite quickly.

I'm going to try Aristotle.

Aristotle. Correct or not?

I'm afraid, David, you are going to have to brush up

on your Cartesian theory, because it is in fact Rene Descartes.

Rene Descartes was the answer, yeah.

Aristotle, a Greek philosopher, of course.

David, nothing for you there, so we come round to Graham, then.

Still everybody left to ask apart from Cleve.

Don't want Lucy to feel left out on the front row,

she hasn't had to ask a question, so I'm going to go for Lucy.

Dance teacher, Lucy.

I hope this is going to be a question you'll know the answer to.

I am a massive '90s video game geek.

I still own all of my '90s consoles, and I still play them.

Doctor Ivo Eggman Robotnik

is the enemy of which video game character

who first appeared in 1991?

This is about your vintage, though, isn't it, Graham?

I actually do know the answer of this one, so...

I was more a Mario man, but the answer is Sonic The Hedgehog.

Is he right, Lucy?

He's right, absolutely on the money.

-Well done.

-Well done.

APPLAUSE

£200 to you, Graham.

Deirdra, we need to get you off the mark.

So, who are you going to choose?

I'm going to try Arminel, please.

-Oh, fine.

-Come on, Arminel. Do her a favour.

OK. Well, this is a science question,

because I'm a chemistry teacher,

so you work in the Science Museum,

so hopefully you'll know the answer.

I'll never live it down if I don't.

LAUGHTER

For some reason I want to say titanium.

Titanium's very light.

That would make sense.

It's very expensive, but darts are very small.

I'm going to say titanium.

That's the thing that comes to mind most,

but I can tell from the look on your face that's probably not right.

Titanium, as the metal traditionally used

to make darts, known as wolfram.

-Is she right?

-No, sadly she's not.

It's got the symbol W, and it's tungsten.

-Tungsten...

-So it's hard.

..is the answer. So I'm afraid you missed the bull's-eye, Deirdra.

-Sorry.

-Ha-ha(!)

Nothing into your prize fund just yet.

And we come to David, again.

I'm going to stick with Arminel, this time, as well.

Oh, thank you. Sorry, I was about to relax.

LAUGHTER

OK, Well, this is not a chemistry question,

so if you were hoping for more science, it's not.

My father's Austrian, and I speak German,

and I've got friends in Germany,

so this is actually a question about a German artist, so, it is...

Art isn't my strong point,

and it doesn't get any better with German artists either.

So this is going to be a complete stab in the dark,

and I'm going to take a punt again.

He's not even German, but Gaugin.

It's going to be a bit of a tough one, that, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-Yeah, if he's not even German, and it's a German artist.

You're going with Gaugin. Put him out of his misery, Arminel.

It's Albrecht Durer.

Albrecht Durer.

-Had you heard of Albrecht Durer?

-No, not at all. Nope.

-OK.

All right. So, nothing added to your prize fund,

so at the end of that round let's take a look at how you're all doing.

Deirdra, I'm afraid you are still yet to score.

Graham and David, though, are tied, on £400.

APPLAUSE

Well, contestants, one of you

is going to have to leave the game shortly,

but there is one last chance for you to take the lead,

and Deirdra, you can still catch up.

There's still plenty of money to be won.

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

Two members of the Think Tank will then tell you

the answer they gave before the show,

and why they think that they are right.

Only one of them is going to be correct.

So, if you side with the person who got it right,

you will add an all-important £200 to your kitty.

Just five questions to go, though,

before we do have to say goodbye to one of you,

so do choose your answers carefully.

So, first, we're going to hear answers from Tristan and Arminel,

and here's the question.

Now, remember, one of them answered correctly,

and the other got the answer wrong, so, Tristan?

So, I guessed basketball.

I did think football,

but then I remembered that it's much easier to pick up a football

with my hands than it is a basketball,

so basketball was my final answer.

OK. Arminel.

Well, I'm not exactly strong on sport,

but I was an Olympic games-maker,

and I was at beach volleyball,

much to the enormous envy of my male colleagues,

and therefore that made me think of beach volleyball,

and where I was thinking about it, I thought, it's a large ball,

and it's also got to be a light ball,

that's what made me think that it was the one

with the greatest diameter.

So we've got basketball or beach volleyball to choose from.

You've heard their thoughts. Lock in your answers, please.

All three of you have decided that Tristan's got the right answer,

with basketball. Have you made the correct choice?

Let's find out.

You are indeed correct.

Well done!

The men's basketball is 9.55 inches in diameter.

How big are your hands?

OK. I don't know how big that is.

-It is a good size.

-Big enough. Well done, Tristan.

Thanks very much, well done.

So you all add £200 to your prize fund.

For our next question we're going to hear answers from Ken and Max.

And here it is.

Ken, what do you think?

Well, I'm sure that it's Margaret Thatcher.

She was a grocer's daughter, and I don't think, to be honest with you,

in those days, she would have had enough money in the house

to go to either Oxford or Cambridge.

OK. All right, might be a logic to that. Max?

I was going to go for Gordon Brown in this situation.

Now, I know he's Scottish and I know he didn't go to Eton

like a lot of our prime ministers,

so I'm thinking, following down that route,

he probably didn't go to Oxford or Cambridge either,

-but we'll have to see.

-OK.

So your choices are Gordon Brown or Margaret Thatcher.

Will you please, contestants,

lock in your answers.

All three of you have chosen Max's answer, Gordon Brown.

Are you right? Let's see.

Gordon Brown is indeed

the correct answer.

He studied history at the University of Edinburgh.

Margaret Thatcher studied chemistry at Oxford, so well done,

and £200 gets added to all of your totals, there.

So, next up from the Think Tank, Jackie and Anisha.

So, here's the question.

-Jackie.

-I'm fairly certain that I know this one.

And it's a game that's been around a long time,

and that will bear witness

by the price that they're selling their houses for on it.

Suppose they've been in London.

And it's also been transferred to other countries in the world,

-and it's Monopoly.

-Monopoly.

OK. And Anisha?

I went for snakes and ladders,

because I think Hamleys is obviously a children's store,

and I don't think kids can play Monopoly, per se,

because it's a little bit hard,

so therefore snakes and ladders is this really easy children's game,

it's timeless, and I think that's what most kids have.

Snakes and ladders or Monopoly?

Please lock in your answers.

Well, Graham and David have gone for Monopoly, Deirdra,

snakes and ladders.

Who's got a monopoly on the right answer?

That is it.

So, well done Jackie, and it means that Graham and David

add £200 to your prize fund.

So, next, we're going to get answers from Cleve and Anisha, again.

Here's the question.

Now, that's a tasty question, isn't it, Cleve?

Oh, yes, and as you can see I am a lover of food.

Had a dumpling or two in your time?

Just one or two, just one or two.

I have had Dim Sum dumplings before,

and I'm absolutely convinced there from China.

China is your answer.

-Anisha?

-In my current job,

I have to basically get like lunches for people,

so I have to go to all these amazing restaurants in Soho,

and I remember going to a Vietnam restaurant

and seeing dim sum on there and I was like, oh!

So it's got to be Vietnam.

-Right?

-No.

-OK!

That's what I've gone for.

So I've gone for Vietnam.

All right. Vietnam or China.

Contestants, please lock in your answer.

And it's a unanimous choice from all three again, you all say China.

Who is going to be right?

Oh. Well done, Cleve.

Who are you getting lunch for, then?

Just our clients at work.

They ask for tea and coffee, I'm your girl.

Get you lunch, I'll get you dim sum.

Are they very demanding? Do they say I want dim sum dumplings,

but I must have them from Vietnam?

Obviously! Because that's where I'm going, going to the wrong places!

Well done, thank you.

Thank you. So, you all get to add £200 to your prize fund,

and we come to the final question in this round,

and we're going to get answers from Arminel and Lucy.

Here's the question.

-Arminel?

-Well, I do watch Strictly Come Dancing

but I didn't get into it

until a few series along, and that's weird,

cos I actually my husband and I did do a few years

of ballroom dancing lessons,

so I should have got into it earlier,

but when I started watching it, I do remember the name Mark Ramprakash,

and so I'm putting that as an early winner

because it was before I started watching it,

and besides, Mark Ramprakash, it's got a lovely ring to it.

-All right, then.

-That's my reasoning.

There is a certain logic to that. Lucy?

I think it was a different cricketer.

I think it was Darren Gough who was the first male celebrity winner,

and I do remember Mark Ramprakash, but I am...

My answer, I am convinced of, is Darren Gough.

-Darren Gough.

-Either way, it's a cricketer.

We know that.

Who was in the earlier series is the debate, I think.

Let's see. So it's either Darren Gough or Mark Ramprakash.

Contestants,

lock in your answers, please.

All three of you still in agreement, saying Mark Ramprakash.

Are you going to score on this answer? Let's see.

No, you've been bowled out.

Darren Gough won in 2005.

Mark Ramprakash won a year later in 2006,

and I remember this very well, personally, actually,

because Mark Ramprakash won with Karen Hardy.

-Oh! Your future partner.

-Who had been my partner the year before,

-when Darren won it.

-Oh, the year before!

-Oh.

-And the thing is, Karen had been in retirement.

She came out and danced, and we did OK, but then Mark won the next year,

so I kind of feel I sort of... warmed her up for him.

Absolutely. Got her back in shape!

Had the situation been reversed, I'd have won, he'd have come in sixth!

-I agree.

-It was just timing.

-Just timing.

-Anyway.

-Lucy, well done.

-Thank you.

None of you added anything to your prize funds with that answer,

and it brings us to the end of the round.

So let's take a look at your totals.

Tied on £1,200 each are Graham and David.

Trailing behind with £600 is Deirdra.

So we have to say goodbye to you.

You did very well, actually, in that round. You put on £600,

but it wasn't quite enough, I'm afraid,

so thanks very much for playing.

Makes me sound like I got enormously fat!

I know, I'm sorry! LAUGHTER

Never come on this show again(!)

Didn't mean it at all, you... Oh, stop digging, Turnbull.

Well done, Graham and David,

you two will now compete to take home the money

that you've earned so far, in The Final.

Graham, any thoughts about what you might do with the prize money?

I've been to a few continents around the world, and I've planned,

it's a life goal for me to go to all of them,

so I've still got Asia and Australia to go to,

-so that's where I will be heading if I am successful.

-OK.

-David?

-My partner and I are currently house shopping.

We get lost in the melee that is deposits,

solicitors fees and everything, so it will go towards that.

Every little bit helps.

-Absolutely.

-All right. Well, good luck to you both.

Our final is, of course, a general knowledge battle.

I'm going to ask you five questions each.

Whoever gets the most correct answers

takes home the money that they've built up so far.

The Think Tank still on hand to help you out.

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

Each member, though, can only be picked once.

And the difference in the final, compared to the rest of the show,

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

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

OK. So, you are on level pegging, both got £1,200 each.

Graham, we will start with you.

Here is your first question.

You have the entire sweep of the Think Tank to choose from.

-I'm going to go for Jackie.

-Jackie.

I'm glad you've gone for me because I really like this programme.

I think it's Silent Witness.

The name Emilia Fox sounds familiar,

but I've never watched Silent Witness before,

so I'm not sure if that is correct or not.

But I can't remember what it is, so I'm going to go with you,

so I will go for Silent Witness.

In which TV drama series does Emilia Fox

play a character named Dr Nikki Alexander?

You're going to go with Silent Witness.

Let's see if you are right.

Yeah. You are indeed. Well done.

So, you are off the mark in the final, and David,

here is your first question.

So I'm hoping the chemistry teacher might be able to help me.

-Arminel?

-I had a feeling you might be going for me, so...

I'm not entirely sure, but I'm thinking that it might be copper,

so I wonder if you agree with me.

It certainly is not going to be gold.

-Nope.

-That's for sure. And I think it might...

I mean, obviously it's an alloy, and it might be some...

Because brass looks quite golden, but it's got a lot of copper in.

My gut feeling was brass, which has really thrown me.

Yeah. Brass is not a pure metal, it's got copper in.

-OK.

-Copper's one of the main constituents.

You've sold me. It's copper.

-Let's hope!

-It is your answer, at the end of the day.

-Copper.

-You're going to go with copper.

-Yup.

-On the recommendation from Arminel.

OK. 70% of a standard one pound coin, made of which metal?

You say copper. What's the answer?

-Copper it is!

-Not going to get the sack!

70% copper.

-Great.

-24.5% zinc, and 5.5% nickel.

I feel I've really learnt something.

Thank you very much, well done.

If only I could be as effective in the classroom, in that case!

OK, you are on one correct answer each so far, and Graham,

here is your question.

Who do you think is best equipped

to help you out here with cartoon characters?

Er, I'm going to go for Tristan.

Because he looks like one of the characters?

It's just, that, well, similar age kind of thing,

I watched it when I was growing up,

so I hope he watched it when he was growing up and he...

Yeah, definitely watched Scooby-Doo.

It's one of my favourite shows for sure.

Every time I got home from school, I'd watch it,

but I'm thinking a big dog,

-so I'm thinking a Great Dane.

-I was going more bloodhounds, kind of.

Because like you said, he's a big dog.

-Yup.

-I'll stick with you, though, I'll go with Great Dane.

-OK.

-You're going to go with Great Dane, as the breed of dog

that Scooby-Doo is in the cartoon.

Let's see.

-Great Dane is the answer!

-Wow! Wow!

Well done. Can you remember how he talked?

-MIMICS SCOOBY-DOO:

-Scooby dooby doo!

LAUGHTER

MIMICS SCOOBY-DOO: Graham, you have a point.

OK. 2-1 to you, Graham, but David, plenty of time to equalise here.

And here is your next question.

Going to need some help, here in a big way.

-My man Cleve.

-Musician, Cleve.

I should know this, but it's going to end up being a guess,

because it isn't in my head.

I'm going to go for Stevie Winwood.

It's not something I'm familiar with at all.

Stevie Winwood was a guess.

I do know which bands he played with,

but honestly, with my hand on heart,

I cannot genuinely say it was The Faces.

So if you can think of something around then, the '60s...

-I'm going to have to go with Cleve.

-So you're going with Stevie Winwood?

-I will, yeah.

-Lead singer of The Faces

before finding worldwide fame as a solo artist.

Let's see if you're right.

It's Rod Stewart.

-Oh, yeah.

-You'll kick yourself.

-So sorry. So sorry.

-Oh, yeah.

Stevie Winwood was the lead singer of Blind Faith and Traffic.

-And Spencer Davis Trio, too.

-And the Spencer Davis Trio.

When he was just 15 years old, so he was an amazing musician.

Score is still 2-1 to Graham, and Graham, here's your next question.

Picking a Think Tanker to help me...

-Uh, Ken.

-I've been to so many aquaria all over the country.

He's saying "aquaria", that's a good start.

That's a really good start.

I think I'm going to say London, actually.

I've been to London one, they've got a huge shark tank in there,

so I know that's quite big,

but I have also been to a couple in Southend and Weymouth,

but I'll probably agree with the London one,

the bigger one out of the three I've been to.

It's the biggest of the ones I've been to.

But of course there could be one I haven't been to.

-OK.

-All comes down to you, Graham.

-Yeah, I'll stick with London.

You're going to stick with London. Let's have a look.

-Plymouth.

-Not been there.

-You haven't been to Plymouth?

-No.

-If you'd been there, you'd have known.

-I would have known.

-Yeah.

Still 2-1 in the lead, though.

David, your chance to catch up, with this question.

He's actually mentioned two.

-Quite recently.

-Let's get some guidance.

-Max.

-Yes, well, I had the same thought as you on this.

He does support two. Now which ones were you going to say?

I was going to say West Ham and Aston Villa.

Yes. Which is the right one?

I was hoping you could tell me that.

According to his press office, which one does he support?

I'm going to stick with the first one and say Aston Villa.

I think I'd agree with you on that one.

OK. So, you're saying Aston Villa...

-Yes.

-..is the football club of which David Cameron

claims to be a supporter.

OK. Let's see if you're right.

That's it. That's the right answer.

APPLAUSE

Well done. He did famously slip up, once, and say West Ham.

Of course, an easy thing to do, cos they both play in claret and blue.

He might easily have said Burnley, as well, I think, couldn't he?

-Yeah.

-Any number of clubs. There you go.

So well done. It's two each. Graham, we move on to you.

OK, I...

Sports, these are so in your realm.

I'm just trying to remember what her name was.

Her first name. I know her surname. It's Konta.

Anisha or Lucy might be able to help you with the other half.

I asked Lucy before, so I'm going to go for Lucy again.

Is it something like Hannah?

I think it begins with a J.

Johanna.

Johanna Konta.

Johanna Konta is your answer as to the female British tennis player

who reached the semifinals of the 2016 Australian Open.

Let's see if you're right.

Yeah! Johanna Konta is correct.

Good team work there.

Well done, good work between the two of you.

So, the score is 3-2. David, your chance to catch up

with your fourth question.

Only Anisha left to help you.

-OK.

-Here it is.

Anisha.

I was obviously left last for a reason!

LAUGHTER

-No!

-What do you think, David?

I'm thinking it might be Lichtenstein, but I'm not certain.

I've actually been to Switzerland, I've not been to Austria.

In which case, I'm going to go for Lichtenstein.

Yay, that's what I'd go for too!

She's right behind you!

So, you say the small principality

lying between Switzerland and Austria is Lichtenstein.

Let's see if you're right.

Whoo!

So, Lichtenstein is the correct answer.

And that draws you level, David, three-all.

So, Graham, this is the fifth question.

There are no Think Tankers left to help you out,

so you're both on your own from here on in, OK? Here it is.

I know what it is, but I'm... I'm not sure what the plant is.

It's either... It's the big purple one!

I can't... It's like the auber... Aubergine, I think it is.

I'm not 100% sure. But I'm going to go for aubergine.

This is to take the lead on the fifth question.

Which vegetable is known in the USA as an eggplant?

Graham's saying aubergine. Is it?

It is indeed!

Aubergine is the big purple one.

So, well done, Graham.

That pulls you into the lead, and it means, then, David,

that you do have to get this answer right

in order to stay in here.

So here is your question.

A name instantly came to mind.

I don't know if it's right.

But it's the best I'm going to get, I think, so...

Here we go. Hugh Laurie?

Hugh Laurie, you think played the title role

of the TV medical drama House MD.

Let's see if you're right.

You are indeed.

Well done.

Hugh Laurie, reportedly paid 250,000 per episode.

-Wow.

-Phew!

There you go. So, after five questions each,

your scores are tied. It means we go to sudden death.

And, as you know,

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

so you are on your own, Graham, here is your question.

OK. I'm not really down with royal families,

and this is a terrible question for me, because I just...

I don't have an idea, but I'm going to go for Margaret.

Margaret, as the first name

of the Queen Mother, who died in 2002.

This would be to take the lead in the tie-break.

And it's Elizabeth...

-Oh, no.

-That's the right answer.

Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, known as Elizabeth Bowes Lyon.

Princess Margaret, of course, was one of her daughters.

-Oh, OK.

-And that would be perhaps where you got that from.

All right, then. So, David, the score is four all.

The question to you. If you get this right, you are today's winner.

-OK?

-OK. Yep.

-Here we go.

OK, I think I know this one.

Obviously he represents England,

but I'm pretty certain he was born in South Africa.

And that's what I'm going to go for.

To take the lead, and be today's winner,

you say Kevin Peterson was born in South Africa.

Let's have a look.

And you're right! South Africa!

Born in South Africa, but played 104 tests for England,

a very fine batsmen. So well done you, David.

-Great, thank you.

-Fantastic.

Well done, Graham, you did so terribly well,

except right at the end,

so I am afraid you're not taking anything home apart from, we hope,

wonderful memories of having played so very well with us.

-Thank you.

-Thank you. David, as our winner,

you're definitely taking home your prize of £1,200,

and you will shortly have the chance

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

-OK, brilliant.

-First, though, shall we take a moment to congratulate

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

One of them did.

Which one was it?

It's a tie, it's Arminel and Jackie, so well done, you two!

APPLAUSE

So, David, you now have one last chance

to boost your prize quite significantly...

-OK.

-..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, David,

if you can achieve what none of them here could

and give us the correct answer,

an extra £1,000 will be yours.

-OK?

-Yep.

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

Before you give your answer,

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

and take a look at what the Think Tank said.

This will help you rule a few things out.

So, who did they think it was?

Lulu, Adele, Cilla Black, Shirley Bassey.

None of those are right.

So, it's got to be someone else.

There's some really good answers up there,

which I probably would have gone to first, to be honest.

I've got a name in mind.

It's a real... It's quite abstract

but I'm going to have to plump for it, I think.

-Dusty Springfield.

-OK. Why?

I know my mum likes them, so that's good enough.

But, yeah, I think so, that's what I'm going to go for.

I haven't got anything else.

You're going to say Dusty Springfield

as the first British woman to have five UK number-one solo hit singles.

This for an extra £1,000 on your prize fund.

Are you right?

-Oh! Sadly not!

-Closer to home.

Yeah, it's Cheryl Fernandez-Versini.

-Formerly known as Cheryl Cole, of course.

-OK.

I would have guessed the same as you, I think, to be honest.

Dusty Springfield had one number one hit single, so only four behind.

-It was a good guess.

-Never mind.

So, you didn't conquer the Question: Impossible, David,

you're still leaving with your £1,200.

-Thank you very much.

-A step along the way to getting your house.

-Oh, it's brilliant. Thank you very much.

-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.
