Episode 15 Think Tank

Meet our Think Tank. They've answered hundreds of general knowledge questions.

Their answers are in, but how helpful will they be

to our three contestants?

Playing the game with us are...

Seb, a mechanical fitter from the Vale of Glamorgan.

Finbarr, a college lecturer from Windsor.

And Cat, a veterinary surgeon from Alnwick.

This is Think Tank.

Welcome to the show, welcome to our Think Tank.

Now, they represent the Great British public.

Among them, we have a doctor with a penchant for break-dancing,

a retired engineer who runs a gardening club and a pizza waiter

with a passion for military fitness.

With their help, one of our three contestants will be returning

to their home with a cash prize.

Seb, you are mechanical fitter.

-You work on power stations?

-That's right, yes.

Dealing with that sort of thing,

you can't be scared of anything, surely?

-I might be.

-Oh, really? What?

Spiders. Not my greatest love.

Members of the family, what do they think about that?

After meeting my partner,

I first met her two children and the second time I met them,

they chased me out of the house with a remote-control tarantula.

So I ran up the road and screamed and it was just a toy.

Good first impression, then.

Pretty much, yeah. They tried to scare me away and I'm still there.

-Do you like sport?

-I do, yes.

-Particularly?

-Rugby.

-You'd be a big Welsh rugby fan, of course, wouldn't you?

-Absolutely love them, yes.

-Along with?

Len and Abi. There you go.

OK, so you'll work together well on that.

-Yeah.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you very much.

Finbarr, you're a lecturer,

-what do you lecture in?

-I lecture in construction,

-but particularly in bricklaying.

-Ever been a bricklayer?

Yeah, for 38 years.

Meet any interesting people on that job?

Yeah, I was a young apprentice working on the Royal Farm in Windsor

and blocking up a doorway, and a voice

behind me asked me what I was doing.

Being a rather cocky 18-year-old, I muttered something like,

"Mowing the lawn, what does it look like?"

-I turned around and it was Princess Anne.

-Oh!

She was very gracious and asked the question again and I mumbled...

Well, you kept your job, at least.

What do you think your weakest subjects are likely to be?

TV soaps are a mystery to me.

Arminel, you watch a lot of reality TV.

Well, it's a bit surprising because as a chemistry teacher

you wouldn't expect that.

But I'm watching them for anthropological reasons.

Of course you are.

So I have watched Jeremy Kyle, Real Housewives In America,

and I rather like Beauty And The Geek.

I find that touching.

Well, now you know where to go to for help on reality TV.

Welcome. Cat, what a marvellous name for a vet.

I know, I know. Who knew?

We heard what Arminel's guilty pleasures are, watching reality TV.

-What are yours?

-Pork pies.

I've got a lovely butcher down the road from my work

that is award-winning. Pork and caramelised onion pies.

And they're wonderful.

So, if we get a question, who ate all the pies?

-Myself.

-We know who it will be.

-Without a doubt, yeah.

-We're all getting too hungry here.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-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 and then every member

of the Think Tank will reveal the answer

that they gave before the show.

The correct answer is always in there somewhere,

but there are also any number of mistakes in the mix as well.

So pick out the right answer, £200 is added to your kitty.

You get two questions each.

Seb, you're up first.

So, here's the question we asked the Think Tank...

Have a think about that. Don't answer just yet.

Let's take a look at the answers that our Think Tank gave. Anisha.

Hair.

Mind.

Neck.

Arm.

Heart.

Tongue.

Words.

Melon.

So, lots of different parts of the body

and a fruit to choose from.

Are you familiar with Shaun Ryder and his musical career?

-I am not, no.

-OK.

I suppose you have to look at the Think Tank and think,

"Which one of them is most likely to be down with Shaun Ryder?"

I'm going to say words.

-Oh.

-Going to go with Arminel and words.

-Yes.

OK, words is your answer.

The title of Shaun Ryder's 2011 autobiography is Twisting My....

What? You say Words.

-Yes.

-Have you got the right word?

-No, it's Melon.

-My goodness!

Twisting My Melon.

Shaun Ryder a singer, of course, with the Happy Mondays

and Twisting My Melon is from the hit Step On.

Well done, Peter, with your Melon, well done.

So, no money in your prize fund for now, but plenty of other chances.

OK, Finbarr, you've seen how it works, here is your question.

Have a think about that and we'll see what the Think Tank had to say.

Adele.

Shirley Bassey.

Sam Smith.

Adele.

Sam Smith.

Shirley Bassey.

Shirley Bassey.

Sam Smith.

So pretty much split verdict -

three for Sam Smith, three for Shirley Bassey, two for Adele.

How well do you remember your James Bond theme songs?

I like James Bond and I like most of the singers here.

I think I'll go for Shirley Bassey.

-Shirley Bassey.

-Yeah.

Let's see if it was a UK number one single.

The only singer to have had a UK number one single with

the official theme tune to a James Bond film,

you're saying Shirley Bassey.

What's the right answer?

Oh!

He had a hit, of course, with the Writing's On The Wall from the film

Spectre in 2015.

Peter, you're on fire.

-Yay!

-Well done.

And nothing for you just yet, Finbarr, but lots of time.

OK, Cat, ready for your question?

Yes.

Here's what the Think Tank thought about that.

Charles Dickens.

DH Lawrence.

Terry Pratchett.

Stephen Hawking.

Wilbur Smith.

Oscar Wilde.

Jeffrey Bernard.

Oscar Wilde.

Seven different writers to choose from,

so very split field there, isn't it?

Well, I had a gut feeling of Oscar Wilde and then Peter said it.

So I think I'm going to go with Oscar Wilde, to be honest.

Peter, a smart guy, you know.

-You're going to go with Oscar Wilde.

-Yes, please, yeah.

-OK.

Stephen Fry received his only Golden Globe nomination for his portrayal

of which writer? You're saying Oscar Wilde.

Let's see if you and Peter are right.

You are indeed, it's Oscar Wilde.

Peter is on a hat-trick.

Yeah!

-£200, Cat, goes into your prize fund.

-Thank you.

OK, so, getting the hang of it now, Seb?

Here's your second question.

Let's see which animal the Think Tank chose.

Bear.

Orang-utan.

Monkey.

Panda.

Orang-utan.

Orang-utan.

Orang-utan.

Racoon.

So, half of the Think Tank going for Orang-utan.

Seems to be a popular choice. Not necessarily the right choice.

What do you think, Seb?

I think I'd be leaning towards orang-utan as well.

OK. Which animal takes its name from the Malay words meaning

"person of the forest"?

You're saying orang-utan, let's see if you're right.

It was indeed.

Well done. Good choice.

And that means you add £200 to your prize draw. Well done.

Finbarr, to your second question. Here we go.

Have a think about that and see what the Think Tank came up with.

Chair.

Hat.

£10.

Golfer.

Hat.

Hat.

Hat.

Knife.

Half, then, of the Think Tank going for hat,

but there are several other choices.

What do you think, Finbarr?

Yeah, before the options came up, I thought Hat.

Based on which Cockney rhyming slang?

I'm not really sure. Tit for tat? Yeah, I think I'll go with hat.

You'll go with hat? OK.

In Cockney rhyming slang, what is a titfer?

You say hat. Is it that?

It certainly is. Hat, well done.

Some interesting choices, there, from the Think Tank.

Some great rhymes coming up in a minute, I think.

Anisha, Cockney rhyming slang for a chair, titfer...

I found this question really hard to answer

and I thought, "The first thing you see," and I saw a chair

and I was like, "That'll do."

So that's what I went for.

Golfer, Tristan. I mean, I know you like your sports, but...

I don't know, I just figured it would be something

that would fit that word. But, yeah, totally wrong.

To be honest, as a Scot who spent some time in Canada as well,

you know, Cockney rhyming slang isn't really your speciality, is it?

-Yeah, it's not my speciality at all.

-OK. Good effort, anyway.

£200, Finbarr, you're off the mark. Well done.

And, Cat, we come to your question.

Do you know your art?

Not this one, unfortunately.

Let's see if he can get some guidance from the Think Tank.

Anisha.

Monet.

Renoir.

Picasso.

Van Gogh.

Manet.

Gauguin.

Monet.

Dali.

So, lots to choose from there.

Not much guidance, really, from the Think Tank.

No.

Not all of those are French, I don't think, that have been mentioned,

and I think it was French.

-I think I'll go for Monet.

-You're going to go for Monet?

-Yeah.

-OK.

-You say Monet?

-Yeah.

In February 2015, a painting by which French artist

became the most expensive ever sold,

going for 300 million in a private sale?

Was it Monet?

-It was Paul Gauguin, I'm afraid.

-Never mind.

-Yes.

-So you weren't on the MONET this time.

-No, I wasn't.

On the MONET!

That's so good(!)

That's better. Good, thank you.

So you don't add any more to your prize fund

and we've come to the end of the first round.

Let's see how you're getting on.

You're all tied on £200.

Well done.

APPLAUSE

So, level pegging now, but that could all change in our next round.

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 from the Think Tank

whose knowledge you think you can match,

and for every correct answer you'll get £200 added to your prize fund.

OK? Now, once a Think Tanker has asked both of their questions,

they can't be picked again. Seb, you've got to go first,

you've got the whole bunch to choose from.

-Who do you want to go with?

-I'll go with Tristan, please.

-Tristan.

-OK, if you like geography

you should get this one, hopefully.

I've lived in Canada for quite a period of time,

so I'm pretty much familiar with the provinces. So, here we go.

-Have you been to Canada?

-I haven't, no.

-OK.

-I've got a bit a family who live in Canada.

-It's still a limited knowledge, but...

-Where do they live?

One is in Vancouver and another in Quebec.

-Mm-hmm.

-I'm probably leaning towards...

-Vancouver.

-You're going to say Vancouver?

-Yes, please.

-Montreal is a city in which Canadian province?

-You're saying Vancouver.

-Yes.

Tristan, is he right?

You should have went to the other option, the answer's Quebec.

-Oh!

-Yes, indeed.

Vancouver, of course, is a city, not actually a province.

-Right, OK.

-OK.

So, nothing added to your prize fund for the time being.

Finbarr, you're up next.

I think I'll pick Arminel.

-Oh.

-Arminel.

-Great!

Well, I enjoy a lot of...

I enjoy making things and I enjoy doing a lot of different crafts.

It's a craft question.

I hope you get this right.

I vaguely remember cast-off in knitting.

And purl, the term purl as well.

I think I'll go for knitting.

-You're going to go for knitting?

-Yes.

-OK.

Bind off, purl and selvage a commonly used terms in which craft?

Knitting. Is he right?

Absolutely.

Excellent. Well done.

£200 to you, Finbarr.

Well done. Cat, your turn.

You can still choose from the entire Think Tank.

Well, I'm hoping it's not a breakdancing question

and I'm going to go with Abi.

OK, so, the morning isn't a morning for me

without this particular TV programme.

I know that other people need their coffee and their tea,

but the TV sitcom Frasier was primarily set in which city?

Have you watched it much? Seen it at all?

I have seen it, years ago.

I want to say Seattle, but not sure.

I'll say Seattle, yeah.

-You're going to go with Seattle?

-Yeah.

-OK.

Seattle, the city in which Frasier is primarily set.

-Abi, is she right?

-Yes, 100%, well done.

And Frasier, of course, a spin-off from the very popular and successful

series Cheers, which was set in Boston.

-Yeah.

-So they moved from Boston to Seattle.

OK, well done. £200 added to your running total.

Seb, back with you.

You can still choose anybody you like at this stage.

As a fellow Welshman, I'd like to choose Len, please.

-OK.

-I think you've chosen well here.

OK. My question is...

So, Seb, what do you think?

I'm really not sure. Politics is not my strongest subject,

so I'd probably have to guess at James Callaghan.

-James Callaghan is your answer.

-Yes.

Let's see if you're right. Has he got it right, Len?

Unfortunately, it was Harold Wilson.

Harold Wilson it was, of the Labour Party.

-Oh.

-Of course. The leader of Labour from 1963 to 1976.

So no money gets added to your prize fund for the time being.

Finbarr, you've still got this entire bank of knowledge

to choose from.

I went with a lady last time, so this time I'll go with a gent.

-I'll go with Ken.

-Well done, I've got to say.

This one... I'm sorry, I had a look through my books and I couldn't find

any questions on Princess Anne, but I've found one on her mother.

OK. Betty, oh, sorry, Elizabeth.

Um, have no idea at all.

I think I'll go for the common colour, go for blue.

OK, blue is the colour. Is it royal blue, Ken?

It is, very good. Blue.

I've met her personally and her eyes are lovely blue.

There you are. Well done.

-You've met the Queen, Ken?

-Yes, I did.

I used to help with a charity and she visited us.

And she's a lovely lady,

she talks to you as if she knows you personally.

-So you're on first name terms with her now, are you?

-Yes, Betty.

I think it'd be a pretty short conversation

if you'd called her that. There you go. Right, well done.

Finbarr, £200 goes to you.

And we move on to Cat. Who are you going to pick?

I think I'll go for Diane, please, this time.

Hello. OK.

Well, this is a music question.

It's in the days when you actually used to dance on the dance floor.

So I'm hoping that you get this one right.

I probably should know this.

I'll just say Amy Winehouse, but I don't know, really.

-You're just guessing?

-Yeah.

-R&B not your big thing?

-No.

-OK.

So you're going to say Amy Winehouse recorded the album

Confessions in 2004. Was it her?

I'm sorry, it was Usher.

-Oh.

-Yes, a very good album.

Sold more than 20 million copies of that album.

Clearly you didn't buy one of them.

Clearly not, no.

OK. Never mind, Cat. You're still doing pretty well,

but no more money goes into your fund for the time being.

Seb, your final question in this round

and you've still got the full field.

OK, I'd like to go with Peter, please.

-Peter.

-OK. Well, I like to waste a lot of my time in the cinema,

so it's a film question.

So I hope you're quite good with your films.

I do like my films.

Still, it's a bit before my time.

I haven't even got a thought process for this one.

-Terence Stamp.

-Terence Stamp.

It's a good go. It's better than saying nothing at all.

Terence Stamp, you say, played the title role in Dracula in 1958.

I'm afraid you got that wrong, it's Christopher Lee.

Christopher Lee it was indeed.

Now, Peter, you like horror films, don't you?

-Go on, do it.

-Argh!

Christopher Lee went on to play Dracula in over ten films.

Peter is still working on his audition.

I like it. So, no money added to your account just now.

Finbarr, here's your last question for this round.

Lady, gent. I'll go with a lady. I'll go with Anisha.

-Anisha.

-OK, so this is another film question,

but it's not as old as Dracula.

OK, so the question is...

Well, that's making me think of a very recent film.

I think it's The Revenant.

-The Revenant?

-Yes.

OK, you're saying The Revenant is the film in which Leonardo DiCaprio

plays fur trapper Hugh Glass.

-Is he right?

-You're so right. Well done, it is.

-Made in 2015 and based on a true story.

-Mm.

-OK.

So, well done, £200 added to your account.

Last question of the round to you, Cat.

Well, I think I'm going to go back to Abi, if that's OK.

Yeah. Well, you may possibly know this.

I'm a doctor, you're a vet, so possibly.

Luckily, we use these in veterinary medicine as well.

So it is electrocardiogram.

No doubt about that with you at all. Electrocardiogram.

I hope I don't make a fool of myself.

-Is she right, Abi?

-Yes, no doubt with me.

-Thank you.

-Well done.

£200 gets added to your account.

So, at the end of that round,

let's see how your prize funds have changed.

Seb, you're on £200.

Cat is on £600.

In the lead, though, Finbarr with £800. Well done.

APPLAUSE

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

but there's one last chance for you to take the lead.

Seb, you can still catch up. Plenty of time for that.

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

Two members of the Think Tank will come forward and tell you

the answer that they gave before the show

and which they believe to be correct.

Only one of them is going to be right.

So, if you side with the right person,

you get an all-important £200 added to your kitty.

Just five questions remain, though,

before we have to say goodbye to one of you,

so do you choose your answers carefully, OK?

So, first up, we're going to hear answers from Len and Tristan.

And here's the question...

-Len.

-Celtic.

-Celtic?

-Celtic, yes,

because most people think of all the English clubs in Europe,

but during the early part of the '50s and '60s,

Celtic was one of the major clubs in European football.

So the answer is Celtic.

-Well, Tristan.

-I picked Newcastle United.

They seem pretty well-established club.

They're old. They did very well back in the day.

So I went with Newcastle United.

You have a choice, then, contestants,

between Celtic and Newcastle

as the first British football club to win the European Cup.

Lock in your answers, please.

And it's a unanimous selection from you all.

You all say it's Celtic, so the vote is with you, Len.

Let's see if you're right.

Celtic it is indeed.

Glasgow Celtic won the European Cup in 1967, in Lisbon.

They became known as the Lisbon Lions, didn't they?

So well remembered and well done to all of you.

You get £200 added to your prize fund.

For our next question we're going to hear answers

from Anisha and Arminel.

And here it is...

-Anisha?

-OK, so I went to Alan Carr.

And I don't know if any of you guys watch his show,

but he says a lot of things that are like, "Oh, my God,

"did he actually just say that?" So I thought,

"That's a reason why he would name a book saying

-"Why do I say these Things?"

-OK. Arminel.

Well, I thought Jonathan Ross.

I don't watch chat shows, really,

but I do remember the Andrew Sachs debacle

when he and Russell Brand played a trick on Andrew Sachs,

and therefore I assumed, because he is very outspoken,

that Jonathan Ross might well regret some of his words.

OK, well, it is a well worked out theory.

Let's see if it's right.

So the choice is between Alan Carr and Jonathan Ross.

Contestants, please lock in your answers.

It is a split verdict this time.

Seb and Cat have gone with Jonathan Ross,

Finbarr is out on his own with Alan Carr.

Someone is going to be right. Let's see who it is.

It's Jonathan Ross, is the correct answer.

-It was a guess.

-That's a beautiful deduction.

Well done, Arminel. And it means that, Seb and Cat,

you add £200 to your prize fund.

The next Think Tankers, then,

to present their answers are Abi and Diane.

So, here's the question.

-Abi.

-I went for spiders,

simply because I'm sure I read in a newspaper

that she had a spider...she found a spider in her hotel room

and evacuated the entire hotel.

OK. Diane.

I went for dogs. Most people are scared of dogs,

and I actually met the only dog in the world with a sense of humour

and it wanted me to run,

so he head-butted me all the way down the street

in the back of my legs.

I didn't run, but...

OK. And had that dog met Angela Merkel?

I think it had.

OK, that's your choice, spiders or dogs.

Make your choices, please.

So, Seb and Finbarr have gone for dogs,

Cat is out on her own with spiders.

Let's see what Angela Merkel is afraid of.

-She is afraid of dogs.

-I told you!

-Well done.

So it was just a guess on your part.

It was an educated guess.

Of course. Apparently Vladimir Putin once brought his dog, his Labrador,

into a meeting with Angela Merkel to intimidate her.

A part of the negotiation. Yes.

-I know.

-Wow, good tactic.

-Good guess, Diane, well done.

-Thank you. Thanks very much.

-So, £200 for Seb and Finbarr.

You don't like spiders at all, we heard about your fear of tarantulas,

-didn't we, earlier?

-We did.

OK, Think Tankers, what are you afraid of, animal-wise?

I'm not scared of an animal, but I'm scared of vomiting.

So if a patient vomits, I leave.

I kid you not, I leave.

-I leave the room.

-A doctor who's afraid of vomiting.

-Yes.

-Thanks very much for contributing that to the programme.

-You're very welcome.

-OK. For our next question, then,

we're going to hear answers from Ken and Peter.

And here's the question.

Ken, let's start with you.

Well, everywhere I go in the UK seems to have a High Street,

except I used to live in Main Street.

But every place I go to, even the little villages, have a High Street.

High Street sounds a reasonable choice, doesn't it, Peter?

I went for Church Street because I know villages and towns

all have a church, mainly, so Church Street is very common.

Yes. And High Street may lead to Church Street, and vice versa.

OK. One of you is going to be right, the other one is going to be wrong.

Contestants, you have to lock in your choices, please.

So, Seb, you are on your own with Church Street,

and Finbarr and Cat have plumped for High Street.

Which is right?

High Street it is indeed.

Most places will have a High Street,

They won't necessarily have a church, I suppose.

There are approximately 5,400 High Streets in the UK,

-so good answer, Ken, well done.

-Thank you.

So that means, Cat and Finbarr, you've added £200.

Seb, you stay where you were.

So, for our final question in this round,

we are hearing answers from Diane and Arminel.

Here's the question.

-Diane.

-OK, I went for Daley Thompson.

Because he was a decathlete, he was really good at all individuals

and he was actually an amazing competitor,

broke a lot of world records.

And I just felt he was the one.

All right, he was a brilliant sportsman. Arminel.

I decided on Chris Hoy for several reasons.

SIR Chris Hoy -

an indication he's a very successful Olympian, I assume.

Plus, I was a volunteer at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow,

and indeed, I'm wearing a Clydesider tartan,

Glasgow tartan.

And at Celtic Park there was the Chris Hoy Velodrome,

so all of this is making the name Chris Hoy

rise to the surface of my mind.

Well argued, but are you right?

The choice is Chris Hoy or Daley Thompson.

Contestants, please lock in your answers.

That's a unanimous verdict for Sir Chris Hoy.

Let's see if you are right.

You are indeed. Well done.

-Well done.

-Well done.

Yes. Well, he won his gold medals over three Olympic Games,

-from 2004 to 2012, so...

-Yes.

That's a lot of medals for not many games.

Indeed. So, well done. Well done.

So, you will add £200 to your prize fund, then.

That brings us to the end of this round.

Contestants, you've run out of time to boost your prize funds.

Shall we take a look at your totals?

In the lead is Finbarr with £1,600, followed by Cat with 1,400,

and trailing behind with £1,000 is Seb,

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

-But thanks very much indeed for playing.

-Thank you.

And £1,000, not shabby at all,

except that you don't get to take any of it home with you.

-THINK-TANKERS:

-Aww!

OK. Have you enjoyed playing the game?

I've had a good day, thank you.

Thanks very much for being with us.

Well done, Finbarr and Cat,

you two will now compete to take home the money that you've built up

so far in our final.

So, Finbarr, £1,600 in your cash fund so far.

What would you spend that on if you won?

I would like to spend it on golf equipment.

My wife may have other ideas.

Honestly, a nice family holiday.

Yes, you could get a new set of golf clubs and take your wife on holiday

-to a lovely golf resort somewhere.

-That's not going to happen.

OK, Cat, what would you do?

I've always wanted to play the piano,

so I would like to buy a piano,

either to learn myself or to force my children

to learn to play the piano.

And if we had enough money, maybe go to Florence.

I've always wanted to visit Florence in Italy.

-It's a beautiful city.

-I hear it is.

All right, well, good luck to you both.

And our final is a general knowledge battle.

I'm going to ask you five questions each,

and whoever gives the most correct answers will take home the money

that they've built up so far.

Fortunately, the Think Tank is still here to help you.

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

so they're just as much in the dark as you this time, OK?

Finbarr, you've built up the most money in the main game,

so the final starts with you.

All right? Here's your first question.

History, you good at history?

Not too bad, and I've been to St Paul's Cathedral

where he's entombed,

-and don't know his name.

-All right, well,

if you pick the right person from the Think Tank there,

they will be able to help you.

Yes, I think it is either probably going to be Ken or Arminel.

I think I will go with Arminel.

-Arminel.

-Yes.

I think I do have an inkling for this one.

Do you have any ideas for his first name?

-Nope.

-OK.

Well, let's see how you go with my idea, which is Arthur.

What do you think of Arthur Wellesley?

It's got a ring to it, and as I haven't any options,

I'm quite prepared to go with Arthur.

-OK.

-Hope I'm right.

-It is your choice.

-Yes.

-You're going to go for Arthur?

-I'll go with Arminel.

-The first name of the soldier

and Prime Minister known as the Duke of Wellington.

Let's see if Arminel has led you to the correct answer.

-She has, it's Arthur, well done.

-Thank you.

Bang on the money, Arthur Wellesley. Well done, Arminel.

-Thank you.

-So, Cat, here's your first question.

Who do you want to ask for that one?

I think Ken would be quite strong on literature,

so I would like to pick Ken, please.

Of course, I happen to be the oldest.

That wasn't the reason.

The first thing that came to my mind was Treasure Island.

They have some really weird names in Treasure Island.

And Hawkeye did sound like something I'd read somewhere,

so I'm going to go for Treasure Island.

I think that sounds really plausible,

so I would like to take advantage of your knowledge

-and go for Treasure Island as well, please.

-Treasure Island.

OK. Treasure Island, you think,

is the novel in which Nathaniel Bumppo appeared in 1826,

also known as Hawkeye.

Let's see if you're right.

No, I'm afraid you are not.

-Never mind.

-As soon as I said it, I thought...

It was Last Of The Mohicans, of course.

Hawkeye, Last Of The Mohicans.

There was the film, of course, which famously starred Daniel Day-Lewis.

So, it is 1-0 to you, Finbarr. Here's your next question.

Have you ever seen the Zoolander films?

No, it wouldn't be the type...

There is a new Zoolander film out,

but it's not the type of film I would go to watch.

OK. So you need to pick carefully here.

I need to pick carefully, don't I?

Somebody who would be into Zoolander.

I think I will go for Anisha.

Anisha is very good at films and that sort of thing,

aren't you, Anisha?

I haven't seen Zoolander, though.

I know the look he does.

I can give you the pout, I just can't give you his name.

Well, it might help... Give us the pout.

-That is it.

-Yeah, OK.

I've just gone all cold.

I don't, maybe Derek. Let's go with Derek.

OK. I think possibly not.

No? No, I think that is too English.

-OK.

-OK.

I'm going to go for Jimmy.

-You're going to go for Jimmy?

-OK.

As the first name of the character played by Ben Stiller

in the Zoolander films, you say it's Jimmy.

Let's see if you are right.

It's Derek.

Wow!

She had a wild stab at it and she gave you the answer.

Derek Zoolander, famous for his signature look, Blue Steel.

How do you do it? What do you do with Blue Steel?

You have to do, like, like that kind of eyes and...

OK, let's try it.

Yes!

Move over, Stiller, Turnbull has come to town!

All right. So, sadly, you got that one wrong,

so the score's still 1-0 to you.

Cat, your next question. You can equalise here.

-Now, you'll remember the Spice Girls.

-I do remember them.

But I think I'm going to go for my pal Abi

and see if she knows who the eldest of the Spice Girls is.

I think it might be Scary, but I'm not sure.

I think it's between Scary, but I think it's between Scary and Ginger.

I have a feeling it's Geri, and I think...

And I don't want to say it is also because she left the band first.

I have no reason for thinking Mel B.

Mel C and Emma B are...

Oh, but then Posh might be...

Yeah? I'll go with first instinct and I'll go with Geri Halliwell.

Geri Halliwell?

-Yes, please.

-Who was Ginger Spice.

-She was.

Geri Halliwell is your answer as the eldest of the Spice Girls.

This is to draw level.

Geri Halliwell is the right answer, well done.

Geri Halliwell was born in 1972.

Posh and Mel C were born in 1974.

Mel B, '75.

And Emma Bunton was born in 1976.

-Should have asked me to help you out, I've got it all here!

-Exactly.

OK, so it is 1-1 going into our third question out to five.

Finbarr, your turn.

-You much of a cocktail man, Finbarr?

-No.

These questions are not falling very good for me.

Tom Collins cocktail.

Who am I going to ask?

I will go for Peter.

-Peter.

-I'm afraid I'm teetotal.

Oh!

So, Tom...

..Collins.

What's your favourite tipple? Just go for that.

-Whisky is.

-Should we go whisky?

Yes, let's... As I didn't listen to Anisha and Derek...

LAUGHTER

Finbarr, you are taking advice from Peter,

-but it has got to be your decision.

-Yes, I will...

-I think I will go whisky.

-You're going to go whisky

as the chief alcoholic constituent in the Tom Collins cocktail.

Let's see if we can drink to that.

It's gin, I'm afraid.

Yes. Tom Collins cocktail, typically made with gin, lemon juice,

sugar and carbonated water.

All right, still 1-1.

You can take the lead here, Cat, with this question.

First book to feature James Bond.

I know the first film was From Russia With Love,

but I'm not sure about the book.

So you have Len, Tristan and Diane to choose from.

I'm going to go with Len, please.

I'll see if Len knows his James Bond.

Goldfinger. That was actually filmed in the '60s, wasn't it,

so that's one of the earlier ones.

I think I'll just go with From Russia With Love.

If you don't mind, I'll just go with my first instinct,

which is From Russia With Love.

You think From Russia With Love was the first book

-to feature James Bond?

-Yes, I'll go with that.

-I'm not confident.

-Not confident, but it's your answer.

The title of the first book to feature James Bond,

let's see if you're right.

No, it is Casino Royale, was the first book to feature James Bond.

The first film was in fact Dr No.

-Oh, was it?

-I was wrong anyway.

-From Russia With Love was the second in the series.

-Oh.

OK. So the scores are still 1-1, moving on to our fourth question.

Finbarr...

Mo Farah, born in which country?

Just Diane and Tristan to choose from.

I think I will go with Tristan, as he's a sportsman.

I have an inkling. What do you think it is?

-South Africa.

-South Africa.

That's what is coming to mind, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

I'm thinking he was born there and then moved to England.

I'm fairly sure he's not South African.

I'm torn between two...two answers.

-What are they, then?

-Kenya and Sudan.

I'm feeling Kenya, yes.

I think Kenya might be a good guess for sure.

A lot to choose from. Ultimately, it is your choice.

I will probably kick myself, but I will go with Kenya.

-You're going to go with Kenya?

-I will.

Kenya as the country in which Mo Farah was born.

Let's see if you are right.

Somalia is the right answer, I'm afraid.

He came to the UK at the age of eight, of course,

but he was born in Somalia.

OK. Still 1-1.

Cat, your fourth question.

You only have Diane to help you.

OK, here's your question.

You can play the tune in your head, can't you?

Yes, I've got a feeling it's Oklahoma, but I'm not sure.

I don't know if you had any feelings about that?

Could be, because you could kind of...

It was probably the woman with the blonde hair and the hat, coming out,

throwing the doors open, singing that.

Could have been. So, Oklahoma.

-# Oklahoma... #

-I don't know.

Any others you can think of?

There's none that are springing to mind.

I think I'll just go with my first instinct, which was wrong last time,

but I will do it again and I will go with Oklahoma.

OK, good luck.

All right, your first instinct, Oklahoma,

as the song in a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical

in which Oh What A Beautiful Mornin comes.

-Yes.

-OK. You are saying Oklahoma, let's see if you are right.

Well done!

Oklahoma. Yes, well done with that.

You were right there, Diane. In fact, it's sung by a man -

-Curly, the character Curly.

-He must have had blonde hair and a hat.

OK. So, well done with that.

It means you take the lead 2-1.

So we come to our fifth question, Finbarr.

No Think Tankers left to help you

and you have to get this one right to stay in the contest.

-OK.

-Here's your question.

Who wrote To kill A Mockingbird?

I think it was Harper Lee.

-Harper Lee.

-Seem pretty certain about that.

So, Harper Lee, you say, wrote To Kill A Mockingbird.

This is to stay in the competition.

Harper Lee is the right answer, well done indeed.

So you've drawn level, well done.

Cat, your fifth question.

Again, you are on your own.

If you get this one right, though, you will be our winner.

OK? Here's the question.

I've got no idea at all.

I'm just going to say Bobby Charlton.

-I've got no idea.

-No idea?

No, I'm afraid not, sorry.

-Going with Bobby Charlton?

-Yes.

-OK.

You say Bobby Charlton scored a hat-trick

in the 1966 World Cup final.

If you are correct, you will be our winner today.

Let's see if you are right.

Geoff Hurst it was, in fact, in the final.

He scored a marvellous hat-trick.

Bobby Charlton was in the team, absolutely,

but he didn't score that hat-trick.

Oh, well, never mind.

So, after five questions each, your scores are tied,

so we're going to go to sudden death.

Now, as you know, all of the members of the Think Tank have been used up,

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

OK? Finbarr, here's your next question.

I've heard of Cephalonia.

I'm going to go for Greece.

-Going for Greece.

-Yes.

Just the country that sprang into my head, so...

OK. All right.

Greece sprang into your head

as the country which has the island of Cephalonia as part of it.

Are you right?

You are indeed, Greece it is.

So that has put you into the lead, 3-2.

Cat, you have to get this one right if you're going to stay level.

Otherwise, Finbarr will be the winner today.

Here we go.

-Know Dwayne Johnson?

-No.

Just going to say Bobby Brown.

I know it sounds really random, but I'm just going to say Bobby Brown.

Going for Bobby Brown as the entertainer Dwayne Johnson's

better-known name. OK.

Bobby Brown is your answer.

This to stay in the competition. Let's see.

The right answer is The Rock, I'm afraid, Cat.

Congratulations, Finbarr, you are our winner.

APPLAUSE

Commiserations, Cat.

You were very, very close.

Well fought, but you're not taking anything home,

apart from the magnificent memory of having consulted so many members of

the Think Tank and got so many wrong answers from them.

-It was lovely, thank you.

-All right, you've been brilliant,

thank you very much indeed. So, Finbarr, as our winner,

you're definitely taking home your prize fund of £1,600

and you will shortly have the chance to add

an extra £1,000 to your winnings.

First, though, shall we take a moment to congratulate

the Think Tanker who got the most answers right in today's show?

Who could it possibly have been?

Let's have a look.

It's Ken. Well done, Ken.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

So, Finbarr, you now have one last chance to seriously boost your prize

as you face our Question: Impossible.

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

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

so if you can achieve what none of them could

and give us the correct answer, an extra £1,000 will be yours.

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

Have a look at that.

Before you answer, we are going to give you a little bit of help

because we'll take a look at the wrong answers

that the Think Tank have given.

This could help you rule out a few things, OK?

So, let's see what they came up with.

Phil Spector, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Donald Trump,

Elvis Presley, John Flynn and Jay-Z

were the wrong answers given by the Think Tanks.

That's a fair number of names to knock out of the running.

You've just got to think, who is in the running?

-No idea.

-Born in 1958.

So a year older than myself.

Paisley Park in Minnesota.

I'm trying to visualise where Minnesota is.

That will help.

I will go for...

-..Billy Joel.

-Going to go for Billy Joel.

-Yes.

-OK.

Billy Joel, you say, the founder of Paisley Park in Minnesota.

This is for an extra £1,000.

Let's see if you are right.

It's Prince.

Yeah. Prince.

Prince was born in Minnesota.

Billy Joel, not a bad guess at all, but he came from New York.

I couldn't think of anybody else.

There aren't that many musicians who come from Minnesota,

so it was a pretty small field to try and remember.

Anyway, it was a good stab at it. Wasn't right, I'm afraid.

You didn't conquer the Question: Impossible.

You are still leaving with £1,600,

-so that'll get you a couple of golf clubs.

-Yeah, it will.

And where will you take your wife, do you think?

Well, we went to Rome last year and it is the best city we've ever

been to, so we may well go back there.

Beautiful city indeed. Have a lovely trip.

-Thank you.

-Thanks for watching.

Join us next time, when three more contestants

will see if they can bank on the Think Tank.

Until then, it's goodbye from them.

Give it your best Blue Steel.

Well done. And it's goodbye from me.

Goodbye.
