Episode 19 Think Tank

Meet our Think Tank. They answered hundreds of general knowledge

questions before the show. Their answers are in,

but how helpful will they be to the three contestants?

Playing the game with us are Alec, a maths teacher from Leeds,

Sophie, a civil servant from London,

and Tina, a counsellor and psychotherapist from Kent.

This is Think Tank.

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

This group of people includes a chemistry teacher with

a passion for Eurovision,

a retired holiday rep

who entertained travellers with cabaret performances,

and a pizza waiter who serenades his customers

with songs from Frozen.

Let's hope they don't make a show of themselves...

FORCED LAUGHTER

..as they try to help out our three contestants. Welcome to you all.

Alec, you're a maths teacher. What level do you teach to?

Up to A level, so 11- to 18-year-olds.

-Do you teach sport as well?

-No, I'm probably not good enough

at sport to actually teach it. I quite enjoy it.

I play a little bit,

but more sociable than to a level to teach it at.

OK, what do you think your weakest subject is likely to be?

Celebrity pop culture or literature.

All right, well, Anisha will be able to help you on pop culture,

-celebrity stuff, won't you?

-Yeah, definitely. I like a lot of stuff

about celebrities, which isn't great because there's more things

in the world to know about than, like, Kim Kardashian but, hey-ho,

that's what I'm good at.

Well, we never know what might come up.

So she's one to look out for, Alec. Sophie, you're a civil servant.

-Is that what you've always done?

-No, when I was 13,

-I was an extra on EastEnders.

-OK.

-Who did you act alongside?

-Grant Mitchell.

-Grant Mitchell!

-No, wow!

-Did you have to say any great lines like, "Get out of my pub!"

-No.

We did practise, but it was when I think they were getting married

and we were put at the front, we had to be rowdy schoolchildren,

which wasn't hard at the school that we went to.

What's your strongest subject going to be?

Anything to do with music, film, celebrities, that kind of thing.

A lot of people specialise in one type of music.

Which areas are you good at?

My guilty pleasure is, like, Korean pop music.

-So is it Gangnam Style, is that what you're...?

-No, no.

-What is it then?

It's a group called Big Bang. They're really quite good,

really popular. It's like hip-hop, R&B but just in Korean.

OK. Weakest subject?

Oh, geography, cos I am challenged.

LAUGHTER

All right. Tina.

You're a psychotherapist,

you've got your work cut out with this lot, I think.

No, they're very fine, well-balanced group of people...what it says here.

Your strongest subjects would be what?

-Animals, animal kingdom, '60s music.

-OK.

So if you were to win today what would you spend your winnings on?

Well, it's our golden wedding anniversary in October,

so I guess I'd like to put any funds towards some sort of celebration,

possibly a knees-up.

50 years. That's brilliant, isn't it? Give her a round of applause.

-So, what's your top tip for a long and happy marriage?

-Ooh!

I know he'll be watching.

-Get a good man.

-Get a good man. All right, then.

Well, welcome to all of you.

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 progress to the final.

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

so let's play the first round.

In this round 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's always there somewhere,

but there are any number of mistakes in the mix as well, OK?

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

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

Here's your first question.

You don't have to answer just yet.

Let's take a look at what the Think Tank thought.

Anisha.

Bangermaker.

Catherine.

Smith.

Foster.

Brown.

Winterbottom.

West.

Adkins.

Eight different names to choose from.

So only one of them is going to be right.

Are you a fan of Adele?

Not a fan enough to know her last name, unfortunately.

And there's not a lot of help there.

Um...

I'll go with Bangermaker, surely someone couldn't have made that up.

She couldn't have made up Bangermaker's the logic, OK.

Bangermaker's your answer.

What is the surname of the British singer Adele? Let's find out.

Adkins. She's Adele Adkins, was the answer. Diane, well done to you.

Looking at those, thinking of all the names that popped up,

surely Bangermaker...

OK, I have to...

I didn't know the answer, and she makes bangers, so I was like,

Bangermaker.

I knew it was wrong.

I thought she was a singer and not a sausage maker.

No, I said she, like, makes songs that are bangers,

so she's a bangermaker.

-What's a banger?

-I'll remember that for the future.

-What's a banger?

When something's so good you're like, "Oh, my God, that bangs."

-Banging.

-Banging, exactly. So, Bangermaker.

Do you know, I just love your vocabulary

that you bring to this programme.

It just makes me cray-cray.

Exactly. Exactly. It was wrong, though, I'm so sorry.

All right, then. So no money for you, Alec.

Sophie, you've seen how it works, so here's your first question.

Let's see what the Think Tank came up with.

Remember the correct answer's always going to be

in there somewhere. Anisha.

England.

New Zealand.

Tibet.

Nepal.

Finland.

New Zealand.

South Africa.

Scandinavia.

So, a lot of choices there.

Two going for New Zealand but plenty of others to choose from as well.

There are two for New Zealand,

but I'm thinking the land of the Long White Cloud, it makes me

think it's somewhere Asian, just in its meaning.

So I'd probably go for Nepal.

-Going to go for Nepal?

-Yeah, I'd like to go for Nepal.

Which country's known as the land of the Long White Cloud?

Sophie's answer is Nepal, let's see if she's right.

New Zealand was the answer.

Land of the Long White Cloud is the English translation

of the Maori name for New Zealand which is "Aotearoa."

OK. Well done to Abi and Tristan.

Nice stab there from Anisha, on England.

-I think it's probably the land of the Long Dark Cloud.

-Yeah.

I thought of clouds and I was like, "There's a lot of clouds here."

OK, all right.

Tristan, have you been down that way, New Zealand?

No, I plan on going there after I hike base camp Everest

in Nepal, I'm going to go to New Zealand and check out the mountains.

OK, all right. Well, good luck with that when it happens.

So, no money for Sophie.

Tina, here's your first question.

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

Spider-Man.

Stephen Hunt.

James Bond.

James Bond.

Hercule Poirot.

Han Solo.

Superman.

Spider-Man.

Two for Spider-Man, two for James Bond, and a general mix thereafter.

Right. I don't know, but it's a process of discounting others,

so I'll go with...

Spider-Man.

You're going to go with Spider-Man. OK. As the central character

in the books Solo by William Boyd

and Devil May Care by Sebastian Faulkes.

Tina's answer is Spider-Man, let's see if she's right.

It's James Bond, in fact.

Well done, Arminel and Peter.

You got that right as well.

So, no money for you there either, Tina, but plenty of other chances.

Alec, let's come back to you for your second question.

Soaps your thing?

-Not at all.

-All right, well, let's see

if the Think Tank can help you at all here with their choices.

Walford.

Chesterfield.

Blackpool.

Morecambe.

London.

Manchester.

Blackpool.

Blackpool.

Blackpool the most popular choice.

Lots of others, though.

I'll discount Walford,

because that's a different soap.

I'll go with the three Blackpools.

The villainous Coronation Street character

Alan Bradley famously died in which town?

You're saying Blackpool,

is that the right place?

It is indeed. Blackpool is the answer.

Alan Bradley,

run down by a tram in Blackpool

while chasing his partner, Rita, through the streets.

-An episode watched by 27 million viewers.

-Wow.

-Diane, you got that right.

-Yes. I remember seeing it, yes.

Do you like your soaps?

It was Rita, and he was running after her, he was going to kill

her in Blackpool, and you know what it's like,

they look round and, "Agh!"

-The tram. And he's gone.

-Well remembered.

And that's £200 for you, Alec.

Sophie, here's your next question.

Let's see what the Think Tank came up with.

Wicked.

Wicked.

Macbeth.

Macbeth.

Hamlet.

Hamlet.

Witches.

Hocus Pocus.

An interesting range to choose from there.

Two Wickeds, two Macbeths, two Hamlets, and a couple of others.

Well, it's not Hocus Pocus cos that's one of my favourite films.

I remember watching that.

And Wicked, I haven't seen yet,

but I did Shakespeare at school

so it's got to be Macbeth, that's going to be my answer.

You remember it from your schooldays, you think? OK.

You're saying Macbeth.

Are you on the right lines?

You are indeed. Macbeth it is.

Spoken by the witches, of course. So, £200 for you, then, Sophie.

Well done. And we move on to Tina's next question.

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

Jeremy Corbyn.

Susan Boyle.

Ann Widdecombe.

Zac Goldsmith.

Zac Goldsmith.

Boris Johnson.

Boris Johnson.

Boris Johnson.

Boris Johnson appears to be a popular choice,

but is it the right one?

It's very tempting actually to go for that,

but I've got my fingers crossed and I'm going to go for Zac Goldsmith.

OK.

You're saying it's Zac Goldsmith. Let's see if you're right.

Zac Goldsmith is the right answer. Well done.

He became MP for Richmond Park in 2010

but he was then selected as the Tory candidate for the mayoral election.

Well done, Ken, and well done, Arminel. You got that right as well.

Some interesting selections there. Tristan, Susan Boyle.

Yep, I had no idea what the answer was.

-That was just the first thing that came to me.

-OK.

I'd like to see that campaign.

£200 to Tina, and that brings us to the end of the first round.

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

And you're tied on £200, so well done.

So, let's see if any of you can pull ahead in the next round.

Every member of the Think Tank now 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.

For every correct answer, another £200 is added to your prize fund.

Once a Think Tanker has asked both of their questions,

they can't be picked again, OK?

Alec, you get to go first.

You have every last one of the eight to choose from.

I'll go with Tristan, please. He looks a similar age to me,

he might have a similar sort of interest set.

I was trying to keep track of his answers in the first round

and I think I might have been similar on some of those, so...

OK, so Al Pacino is my favourite actor,

and this is the reason why I got this question right.

"In the film Scarface, the character Tony Montana famously says,

"'Say hello to my little...' what?"

I'm pretty sure it's friend. "Say hello to my little friend."

OK, you're saying friend.

-Is he right?

-Yep, you got it, bro.

Well done.

His little friend is, of course, a large gun.

It's one of the most quoted lines from modern movies, isn't it?

Say hello to my... Go on, do your Tony Montana.

-AS TONY MONTANA:

-Eh, say hello to my little friend.

LAUGHTER

Honestly, you could have been the understudy. £200 for you, Alec.

Sophie, you're up next.

For the time being, you can still choose from anybody you like.

I'd like to pick Anisha, please.

Same kind of interests - celebrity lifestyle, of no use,

but we need to know it.

-Do you like Family Guy?

-I do love Family Guy.

OK, you're going to get some money.

So, Sophie, my question is...

'Who co-created and provides many of the voices for

'the TV comedy series Family Guy?'

I do know this answer and it's right there, and his first name's there.

First name's Seth.

And it's just his surname that's gone right out of my head.

I can't think of the surname.

I can see him. Seth McFarlane.

Seth McFarlane is what you're saying. Is that the right surname?

I'm going to make it rain for you cos you got it right, boo.

Of course, it features the Griffin family

and Brian, the talking dog.

Sophie, well done, £200 for you.

Moving onto Tina now.

You can still choose from the whole Think Tank.

-I'll go with Ken, please.

-Ken.

Well done, Tina, you picked the right person.

-Did I?

-I'm sure you have.

This one is up both our street, here we go.

What was the first James Bond theme tune to be sung by Shirley Bassey?

Hmm.

Diamonds Are Forever or Goldfinger.

I'll go for...

Ooh, Goldfinger.

Goldfinger's your answer as the first James Bond theme tune

to be sung by Shirley Bassey.

Well done, a great lady.

Goldfinger's the right answer.

APPLAUSE

She did in fact sing three.

So, there was Goldfinger in 1964,

Diamonds Are Forever in 1971,

and Moonraker in 1979.

-So, she's had a great record.

-I wouldn't have got that one.

Well done, Tina. £200 to you, well done.

And, Alec, still got the full field to go with.

Yeah, I feel a bit sorry for some people

that haven't been picked yet, but it worked with me the first time,

I'll go with Tristan again.

Tristan, again, OK.

Hopefully, you're clued up on your history somewhat.

Who was the US President at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis?

John F Kennedy.

John F Kennedy's your answer.

Let's see if you're right.

Absolutely correct, good job.

Well done. APPLAUSE

So, Alec, well done. £200 for you.

And, Sophie, you're up next.

I'll go back to what I know best, I think. Anisha, please.

Anisha again.

OK, unfortunately, Sophie, this isn't anything to do with celebrities.

But hopefully you've got the same type of logic as me,

so you'll probably get the answer. So...

The island of Honshu is a part of which country?

Honshu, no good at geography.

As I said before, completely challenged.

Neither am I, but I still got it right,

so you're going to get it right.

Big ask from me, Anisha.

Let's see, Honshu.

What's in my head, I'm thinking of two countries,

either Japan or Korea. So, I'll just say Korea.

-Going for Korea?

-That's correct, I'm just going to say that.

-OK.

She says the island of Honshu is part of Korea, Anisha?

-Oh, I wish you went for the first one cos it's Japan.

-Oh, no.

-It's OK, cos Korea does great music.

-It does, that's what I was thinking.

That's why you went that way, all that K-pop.

All that K-pop's ruined my mind.

OK, Honshu is the largest island of Japan.

So, there we are.

OK, nothing for you there, Sophie.

Tina, you're next. You can have anybody

apart from Anisha or Tristan.

I'll go with my old friend Ken.

He was nice last time.

Well, well done, you picked another one

I think you know the answer to.

It's more our age group, OK?

Who was the political leader of Cuba from 1959 to 2008?

OK, there's only one that I know of and that's Fidel Castro.

Fidel Castro is your answer. Is she right?

Yes, 100% perfect.

-Fidel Castro.

-Well done.

APPLAUSE

And his brother Raul Castro succeeded him

and is still in power now.

£200 to Tina.

Alec, you're up next, and Ken is also out of the running now.

OK, I'll go for Len.

Oh, you're going to love this one.

If you were driving down the street and parked at the traffic lights

and seen somebody singing his head off, I'd be singing one of these songs, probably.

What was the title of David Bowie's first-ever UK top 40 hit single?

Not a clue.

Ziggy Stardust?

Ziggy Stardust is what you're going for.

Has he got the right answer?

No, unfortunately, it's Space Oddity.

Space Oddity was what we were looking for.

Reached number five in 1969, and is the late David Bowie who,

of course, sadly passed away in January 2016.

And, Alec, hard lines, no extra money for you there.

Sophie next.

Can I pick Diane, please?

Certainly can.

-Hi, this is an music question.

-OK.

I'm sure that you'll get this.

Ghost Town was a UK number one hit single for which band in 1981?

Music's your thing, Sophie.

It is. I can see them in the car, driving around screaming,

and that bit when the trumpet plays. I'm going to say The Specials.

Going to go with The Specials. You look pretty confident with that.

Should she be?

-Absolutely right.

-Well done.

Other songs by The Specials, of course,

include Too Much Too Young and A Message To You, Rudy.

-So, well done, £200 to you, Sophie.

-Thank you.

And we come to you, Tina.

Not so many people to choose from now.

Tristan, Anisha and Ken are no longer available.

Lovely music questions, previous ones, but...

I'll go for Len, please.

-You're going to like this one as well.

-Oh.

Which city was known as Leningrad from 1924 to 1991?

Oh.

I've got a few going in and out.

I'll stick with the one came first, St Petersburg.

Saint Petersburg, OK.

I've actually been there, to St Catherine's Palace.

-You're correct. Wonderful.

-Well done.

APPLAUSE

£200 for you, Tina.

That brings us to the end of the second round.

Shall we see how your prize funds have changed?

Alec and Sophie are tied on £600,

just in the lead with £800 is Tina.

So, one of you will shortly have to leave the programme,

but there's still one last chance to take the lead,

and Alec and Sophie can easily make up that ground.

All of you will now be asked the same question.

Two members of the Think Tank will then give you the answer

that they gave before the show

and why they believe they're correct.

Only one of them is going to be right.

If you side with the correct person you'll add what could be

an all-important £200 to your prize fund.

Only five questions remain and then we'll have to say goodbye

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

First, we're going to hear answers from Peter and Tristan.

Here's the question.

-Peter?

-I said New York because I always remember lots of commercials

saying lots of planes and flights to New York,

and I think it's probably one of the most popular destinations.

OK, Tristan?

So, I thought Dubai, purely

because it's a new place a lot of people haven't been,

it's a growing city and, yeah, Dubai.

All right, Tristan said Dubai, Peter goes with New York.

Contestants, please lock in your answers.

Alec and Tina have gone with New York,

Sophie, out on her own, with Dubai.

Let's see what the correct answer is.

New York it is. APPLAUSE

Well chosen, Peter.

About three million people travel to New York from Heathrow every year.

I should think a fair number go to Dubai as well,

but New York is the number one choice, so, well done.

Thank you.

And that's means that, Alec and Tina, you add £200 to your total.

For our next question then,

we're going to your answers from Anisha and Abi.

Here's their question.

-Anisha?

-OK, guys, so I went for Holiday

purely because that's what my mummy said.

I remember one day she was like, "Oh, did you know that Holiday

"happened to be Madonna's first single?"

I was like, "Oh, no, really? No way, no way." That's it.

-That's all I got.

-You have useful conversations with your mum.

-I do, I do. She's great.

-Abi?

So, I think it's Like A Virgin.

I remember having Madonna's first album on cassette tape

that my dad used to play in the car on long journeys

and Madonna likes to make a bit of an entrance,

so I thought Like A Virgin might have been her first single.

I remember it being on that album.

All right. Abi's choice is Like A Virgin,

Anisha is going with Holiday,

contestants, make your choices, please.

And here's how you've gone - all three have gone with Holiday.

A unanimous vote, let's see if it's right.

Holiday it is.

Aw, Mummy is right.

So, Holiday reached number six in January 1984.

-Like A Virgin not far behind, November of the same year.

-OK.

-Oh.

You remember your conversations with your mum so well.

I remember everything about my mummy, she's great!

OK. Well done, Anisha.

And it means you all add £200 to your total, well done.

Our next Think Tankers then are Diane and Len.

And here's the next question.

Diane?

I went for France because they have the French Open.

I know that the US have a lot of good players,

but I just felt that the names that come through are mostly

French names, and I just think it's France.

-France for you. Len?

-It's the USA. The USA.

I'm just thinking of two main players,

which is McEnroe and Pete Sampras.

They were dominant for so many years and I think between them

they've one enough to, sort of, win it on their own.

So, my answer is the USA.

The United States or France?

Contestants, please lock in your answers.

You're all plumping for the USA.

Let's see if you're right.

You are indeed. United States it is. APPLAUSE

OK, so, good choice, Len, well done.

And £200 is added to the prize fund to all three of you, so well done.

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

Ken?

A lot of businesspeople actually go to the websites

to check on stocks and shares and markets, and then you get

the other people who go just for the sport,

their football teams and things.

But I think one of the most popular papers in the country is

still The Sun and that's what I've gone for.

-OK, you've gone with The Sun.

-Anisha?

OK, so I went for the Daily Mail, purely because

if I get downtime at work, I'm always on the celebrity column

on Daily Mail, as is all the rest of my colleagues.

So, I think, personally, it's Daily Mail.

So, it's between the Daily Mail and The Sun.

Contestants, please lock in your choices.

All three of you have gone with the Daily Mail,

are you on the right page?

The Daily Mail it is.

Well done. Well done.

About 14.6 million daily users on the Daily Mail website.

See, you and your gossip, Anisha.

-Exactly, there you go. You see?

-Yeah, well done.

-All right, Anisha, well done.

-Thank you.

And £200 goes to each of you.

For our final question in this round, we'll hear answers

from Arminel and Diane.

Here it is.

Christmas trees, eh? Arminel?

I think it's a spruce.

I know that Norway's gives it to us, so I think it's a present

from Norway, and Norwegian spruce sound rather good.

So, I decided spruce.

OK. Diane?

And I went for cypress.

The spruce is all very well, but it drops too many needles too quickly.

So, the cypress is kind of a bit more bushy and

it keeps its needles for longer, and that's the one that it is.

OK, the choices are cypress or spruce.

Contestants, please lock in your answers.

Alec and Tina have gone with spruce, Sophie in the middle,

out on her own with cypress.

Who's right?

It's the spruce. APPLAUSE

You're right about Norwegian -

it's a gift from Norway every year, Arminel,

as a thank you for Britain's assistance

to Norway in the Second World War.

Of course, cos the phrase "Norwegian spruce" just sprang to mind.

With the needles dropping, I suppose they'd have

to have a pretty big vacuum cleaner on Trafalgar Square, wouldn't they?

Well, that's right. That's why it doesn't last very long, you see?

They need to have a cypress, a Norwegian cypress.

Norwegian cypress, OK! Well done, both of you.

Thank you.

And that means at the end of the round, Alec and Tina,

adds £200 to their prize funds.

So, shall we take a look at your totals?

In the lead is Tina with £1,800, followed by Alec with £1,600

and trailing in third place with £1,200 is Sophie.

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

-I think you've done really well though.

-Thank you very much.

You brought some real pizzazz with your Korean pop to the programme.

-Thanks very much.

-Thank you very much.

Well done, Tina and Alec.

You two now get to compete against each other to take home the money

you've earned as you play in the final.

Alec, had any thoughts about what you might do with the money if you win?

-I'm getting married soon, Bill, so...

-Oh, congratulations.

Congratulations.

..it might help to buy a few extra bottles of wine.

Only a couple at the hotel prices, but a couple of extra ones for the tables.

OK, that'll be nice.

And you're planning a big bash too, aren't you?

Yes, for our golden wedding.

It was sort of a toss-up between that and decorating the living room.

Oh, come on.

Seriously?

-So, it was... You know.

-Really?

-Have the party.

-Yeah.

-Yeah, OK.

All right, well good luck to you both.

Our final is a general knowledge battle.

I'm going to ask you five questions each

and whoever gives the most correct answers

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

-OK.

-Now, 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 this time in the final is that,

compared to the rest of the show, they haven't seen any of these

questions before, so they are just as much in the dark as you are.

Tina, you built up the most money in the main game,

so the final starts with you.

-OK.

-Here's your first question.

Who do you think could help you out on that?

Let's have a think.

I think I'll go with Anisha.

Anisha.

It's showbiz question, after all, isn't it?

It is. I never watched Friends, though.

I'm like the one person in the entire universe

that never watched Friends. But I do know the characters.

I was on the Central Line the other day and the doors opened at

Chancery Lane and I saw the poster, and I think it's Chandler.

What do you think? Do you have any idea?

-Um, is that, is that Matt Le Blanc?

-No, that's Joey.

It's the other one.

-It's something Perry, but I can't think of his name.

-Yeah.

-Matthew Perry? I think that might be it.

-Yes.

I remember seeing his face and thinking, "Oh, you've aged!"

So that's what I think it is.

I know he's been involved in the theatre in London, so...

-Yeah, so I would say that.

-I'll go with Matthew....

-Matthew Perry.

-..Perry.

-Matthew Perry is your answer.

The 2016 West End play, The End Of Longing,

the debut work by which member of the cast of Friends?

You're saying it's Matthew Perry.

Let's see if you picked the right one.

You have indeed. Matthew Perry it is.

APPLAUSE

Well, Anisha, for somebody who's never watched Friends,

you seem to have a pretty spectacular knowledge.

And he'll be delighted to hear that you think he's looking so young!

It's only the truth, you know.

OK. All right. Anisha, well done.

And that gets you off the mark, Tina.

OK, Alec, your first question, here it comes.

-Who might help you out with that?

-Um...

You can choose anybody apart from Anisha.

I'm hoping that Arminel might know this.

I have been thinking about it and I have an idea. Do you have an idea?

Um...

Apart from some sort of Samurai sword or the rising sun...

Ah, so, flowers!

So, no, I didn't read the question properly. Um...

No, I haven't got a clue.

Well, if I give you my idea,

hopefully it will spark something in you.

I was wondering about the lotus. I don't know.

It's certainly better than anything I've got,

so I'll go with that, the lotus.

You're going with Arminel's suggestion of the lotus.

In Japan, which flower is the symbol of the Emperor and the Imperial family?

Is it the lotus?

-No, it's the chrysanthemum...

-Oh, I'm so sorry.

..is what we're looking for.

The lotus is in fact the national flower of India.

So, no score for you there. Tina, you lead 1-0.

Here's your second question.

Musical question. Six members of the crew still to go with.

I'll go with Ken.

Ken. You've worked well together so far.

I think we're doing well together, yes.

He is the one that they describe as...

-not scruffy, that's not a word, but...untidy.

-Eccentric.

Eccentric. Oh, we're on the same vibes, aren't we?

Violin. Violinist. Violin player. He plays the violin.

Yes. Yes, he does.

Violin is what you're going for. Pretty confident choice there.

The musician Nigel Kennedy is best known for playing which instrument?

You're saying it's the violin.

And you're right, it is. The violin.

So, 2-0 to you. You can still make up ground, Alec.

Here's your second question.

Um... I think I've got a couple of ideas, but I'll ask Abi.

I'm doubting myself now,

but Matt Damon is the person that came to mind.

-But isn't Jude Law in it, as well?

-He could well be.

Because I'm sure I've seen it, and doesn't Matt Damon try

and replace Jude Law? Doesn't he kill Jude Law?

-But isn't he then The Talented Mr Ripley?

-Yes, OK, fine.

Yeah, I was just choosing between the two, but I think

if we're going to go with the title role, it has to be Matt Damon.

We'll go with Matt Damon.

Who played the title role in the 1990 film The Talented Mr Ripley?

You say it's Matt Damon. Are you right?

And it is indeed Matt Damon.

He did star alongside Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow.

So, 2-1, so you're on the scoreboard. 2-1 to Tina.

Here's your third question.

Who can help you here?

What a good question. Um...

Britain's Ocean City...

Um, Len, I think, please.

I'm thinking Plymouth or Portsmouth.

-Plymouth I'm thinking of there.

-Yeah.

I can't think of any other sort of cities or...

-My best guess would be Plymouth.

-Yeah.

That was what I was thinking, but... I'll go with Plymouth.

You're going to go with Plymouth as the city in Devon that's

nicknamed Britain's Ocean City.

Let's see if you're right.

-Yes, Plymouth it is!

-Well done.

Of course, strong naval tradition in Plymouth.

A Royal Naval base there and a historic dockyard, as well. OK.

3-1 to you. Alec, here's your next question.

Um...

Now, you have Diane, Tristan and Peter to choose from still.

I'll go with Peter, I think.

I think he got Macbeth right earlier, so...

I don't really read a lot of poetry

but I do listen to Poetry Corner on Radio Four sometimes.

But William Blake or that guy that died really young...

Wordsworth? No.

Wordsworth or Blake. About the only two poets I know, as well.

So, um...

-You got a gut?

-I'm afraid not.

I'll go with Blake.

-You're going to go with Blake?

-Yep.

-Can you give me a full name?

-Did we say William?

-William Blake, yeah.

-William Blake.

"Tyger tyger burning bright in the forests of the night,"

lines first written by William Blake, you say. Are you right?

You are indeed, it is William Blake.

It's from William Blake's Songs Of Experience collection.

Tina, we come to you. You're 3-2 up at the moment.

Here's your fourth question.

Pop, is that your thing?

Not really.

Well, Diane or Tristan can help you.

-I'll go with Tristan.

-Tristan.

-I've no clue whatsoever.

-No, I didn't.

This is not my genre at all.

I was just thinking that it's a debut solo single of

a former boyband, so Zayn Malik split from One Direction, didn't he?

See, I was thinking One Direction,

-that's the first thing that popped into my head, but I don't...

-Yeah.

So if you know their names you might have a better guess than me.

So shall I stick with Zayn Malik?

Yeah. I would go for that.

-If it feels good, go for it.

-Yeah.

It's just simply because it's a debut,

so he's the only one I know that recently split, so...

Zayn Malik.

Zayn Malik is your choice.

Pillow Talk, the debut single of which former boyband member?

You're saying it's Zayn Malik from One Direction.

Are you in the right direction?

You are!

Gosh!

-I don't know where that came from!

-That was really well done.

Really well done. Really good.

For somebody who knows nothing about pop,

you popped up with the right answer.

I didn't say I didn't know nothing!

I've got three grandchildren.

All Right. 4-2, then, to Tina.

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

Just Diane left to help you.

I've got a pretty good idea on this one,

but I'll obviously ask Diane as well.

-It's the Bank Of England, I think.

-Yeah, definitely.

I was going to say, it's a British institution that he became

the governor of and, yeah, it's definitely the Bank Of England.

-Yeah. The Bank Of England.

-Bank of England, you say.

2013, the Canadian Mark Carney became the governor

of which institution? You say it's the Bank Of England.

This to stay in the game.

The Bank Of England it is!

Well done!

4-3. This is the fifth question.

No Think Tankers left to help you out,

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

-And, Tina, if you get this one right, you will be the winner.

-OK.

All right.

I think I know!

My daughter had a wonderful holiday there and they just kept saying it.

-It's Hawaii. Hawaiian, yeah.

-OK.

The word "aloha" means hello and goodbye in which language?

You're saying Hawaiian.

This, to be the winner.

Hawaiian it is! Well done!

APPLAUSE

Congratulations, Tina. Well done.

Alec, a good battle. I'm afraid, though,

you're not taking anything home

apart from the joy of having known that you've been in such

distinguished, intellectual company as this lot here.

-I hope you had fun playing.

-Yeah, I have a lot. Cheers.

-Well done.

Tina, our winner.

You're definitely taking home your prize of £1,800, and you will

shortly have the chance to add an extra £1,000 to your winnings.

That will make a bit of a party for your husband, wouldn't it?

Or a whole load of wallpaper, whichever you prefer.

First, though, shall we take a moment to congratulate

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

And it was...

Shared between Peter and Arminel. Well done!

-I don't know why you look so surprised.

-Me?

-Yes!

Because I let Alec down earlier, and so that was all I could think of.

She is so conscientious.

-Well done, both of you.

-Thank you.

Tina, you have one last chance to boost your prize as you

face our Question: Impossible.

So, Tina, 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, that extra £1,000 will be yours, OK?

-Mm.

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,

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

Think Tank gave earlier, and this should rule a few things out, OK?

So what did they come up with?

Two-Left-Feet-Lucy. Storm Chaser.

Red Rum. Loch Avon. Nobby.

Queen Mother's Horse, and Arkle.

So some pretty disastrously wrong answers there.

Not sure how much that's going to help you. Got any thoughts?

I think there's one there with the right part of the title in it,

which is Ken's.

Again, it just went into my mind,

and I think it was Devon Loch.

Devon Loch is what you're going with.

Which horse famously collapsed within sight of the finish line

while leading the Grand National in 1956?

This is for £2,800.

Fingers crossed for you.

Let's see if you got the right answer.

Devon Loch it is! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done! Well done!

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

so you'll be leaving with £2,800.

Oh, marvellous! Thank you, Bill.

-How do you feel about that?

-Over the moon, I think the phrase is!

You know what?

You can have a grand party for your golden wedding anniversary...

I'll raise a glass to all of you.

..and you can get a few rolls of wallpaper for your husband

-to put up at the same time! Can't you?

-Fat chance!

-Well, well done, Tina. Very well played.

-Thank you. Thank you.

Thanks for watching.

Do join us next time, when three more contestants will see

whether they can bank on the Think Tank.

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

-Bye!

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