Episode 20 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 three contestants?

Playing the game with us are - Kate, a solicitor from Denbighshire.

John Paul, a recording studio manager from the West Midlands.

And Lynne, a racecourse cashier from Ely in Cambridgeshire.

This is Think Tank.

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

These people come from a mix of professions,

from chemistry teacher to a musician,

a waiter to a dance teacher.

Together though they have one job - to assist our three contestants

as they battle it out to win a cash prize.

Well, welcome to you all.

Kate, you're a solicitor.

In your spare time what do you do?

I had a baby about a year ago now,

so lots of my time is spent with him.

Any secret pastimes you want to share with us?

Probably my biggest guilty pleasure is a weekly subscription

to a celebrity magazine, a celebrity gossip magazine.

Who are your favourite celebrities you like to gossip about?

Well...Mr Turnbull, when he was on Strictly.

Oh, stop it.

Or Robbie Savage, perhaps. I've quite a liking for him.

-Your strongest subject then would be what?

-I'd probably say sports.

I follow lots of sports and always have done.

What are you not so good at?

Films, I don't have a particular interest in films,

or perhaps art and literature.

Literature, Max is your man.

Well, I'll do my best, see if we can help you out.

What light through yonder window breaks.

-Absolutely.

-LAUGHTER

So you're in good hands there.

-OK, John Paul, you're a recording studio manager.

-I am indeed, yeah.

So have you worked both sides of the microphone?

I actually used to be an artist, yeah.

I used to rap with a group and we used to tour different clubs

and that kind of thing,

but I now decided to stick to the management side.

It's much more fun.

-Come on, there must be something you can share with us?

-What, lyrics?

LAUGHTER

-I don't know.

-Not this time of day.

Not this time of day, exactly.

Thank you. Phew!

So music should be good for you, if that comes up as a subject.

That's right, yeah.

-And what are you not so good at?

-I would say science.

If you want science, I think Arminel, you can help him out, can't you?

-Well, hopefully, as a chemistry teacher, I can help you out.

-OK.

Welcome to the programme.

And, Lynne, you're a racecourse cashier.

-Yes.

-Whose cash are you handling?

I'm handling the cash of the people that come to the races.

When they buy their champagne and their food after they've won

a lot of money on the races, I'm the girl that takes it all from them.

-Oh, right.

-Very happily.

-Absolutely.

What do you do in your spare time?

I'm actually studying for a masters degree in antiques at the moment,

so I tend to sort of do quite a lot

of going round car-boot sales and antiques fairs and things like that.

If you're looking for antiques of questionable value...

you've come to the right place.

No, really, honestly, they're priceless.

Welcome to the programme, all three of you.

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

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

The two highest scorers then 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 all a question,

then every member of the Think Tank

will reveal the answer that they gave before the show.

Now, the correct answer is always going to be there somewhere,

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

So if you pick out the right answer you get £200 added to your kitty.

You get two questions each.

Kate, your first. So here's a question that we asked the Think Tank.

Don't have to answer that just yet,

but let's take a look at the answers that the Think Tank gave us.

Arminel.

Cilla Black.

Claudia Winkleman.

Holly Willoughby.

Jeremy Clarkson.

Bill Turnbull.

Jim Bills.

Dermot O'Leary.

Jonathan Ross.

So we've got eight different answers,

only one of them can be right.

What strikes you?

There are a couple maybe that

I would probably rule out relatively early.

Without offending,

I probably shouldn't...

No, you just go ahead offend me,

I don't mind.

I would probably perhaps rule out you, Bill.

And Jim Bills as well,

and I would probably take a punt at...

..Holly Willoughby.

Holly Willoughby, Lucy's answer.

Well, she's not bad at popular culture.

Let's see if you're right.

Holly Willoughby, is it?

Cilla Black. Sorry, you're wrong there.

So Arminel was bang on the money there.

Let me just ask Ken - Jim Bills,

I'm not entirely familiar with Jim Bills.

Well, he's very famous.

Is he?!

Yes, I often...Google him myself.

LAUGHTER Have you?

Anyway, are you criticising my choice?

Not at all, I'm delighted, I'm just trying to work out who on earth you're talking about.

That's fine.

-Anisha, that's very sweet of you, darling.

-All love, Bill. All love.

However much I click on that mouse

I still can't get the total up.

The second most Googled person in the UK was

Lady Colin Campbell, who none of you guessed.

Jeremy Clarkson was third.

Where did the Jim Bills come?

Jim Bills, we haven't...

-Have any of you heard of Jim Bills?

-No!

Jim Bills, Kate? No? No, OK.

You know what? After the show I'm going to go and Google him.

-LAUGHTER

-I definitely would, yes.

All right, no money for you there, Kate,

but you'll get plenty of chances later.

-John Paul, you've seen how it works then.

-Yeah.

-Here's your question.

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

Andy Murray.

Rafael Nadal.

Novak Djokovic.

Andy Murray.

Andy Murray.

Roger Federer.

Novak Djokovic.

Roger Federer.

A very split field there.

-What do you think?

-Well...

I was a Wimbledon ball boy.

Not while any of these guys were playing?

Not while any of these guys were playing, no.

I do like my tennis,

and I'm looking at what

Lucy has said, and Cleve.

I'm going to go for Novak Djokovic.

Novak Djokovic is your answer. Let's see if you're right.

Well done indeed. Well done there, John Paul.

You've added £200 to your prize fund.

In fact the only Grand Slam that Djokovic did not win

was the French Open. He was beaten by Stan Wawrinka in the final.

Lynne, let's see your question, shall we?

Let's see if the Think Tank can help you here.

Alaska.

Mississippi.

Texas.

Alaska.

Texas.

Alaska.

Texas.

Ohio.

So several states to choose from.

Alaska, Mississippi, Texas, Ohio.

Been to any of those?

No, I haven't, unfortunately. But I was at my mother-in-law's

quite recently and she has a

big atlas on the wall, and we were

looking at how close Russia is to Alaska, and it looked pretty big.

So I think I'm going to go with Alaska.

Alaska is, you say, the largest US state by area.

Let's see if that's the right answer.

It is indeed. Well done.

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

-Alaska is indeed the largest state by area - 665,000 square miles.

-Wow.

Texas, in fact, came second.

So, Kate. Time for your second question.

Here we go.

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

Dr Black.

Captain White.

Dr Green.

Reverend Black.

Justin Credible.

Miss Scarlet.

John Smith.

Mr Plum.

Quite a diverse set of answers there.

Perhaps things I wasn't maybe expecting.

Certainly diverse.

All the colours of the rainbow, for a start.

Lots of different professions.

I must admit, I haven't got any particular idea, so I might have to

take a punt with perhaps one of the Think Tankers who's been reliable.

Have they? Which one? LAUGHTER

Ken, I'm going to rule you out.

And I think Anisha and Cleve, I'll rule those answers out as well.

I'll go with Arminel and Dr Black.

Arminel's choice as well,

Dr Black.

Let's see if you're right.

It is indeed the right answer.

Well done.

You went for the teacher's knowledge,

which was just the right thing to do.

So £200, you're off the mark.

So indeed, Dr Black is the murder victim

in the British version of the game.

In the American version he's Mr Boddy.

John Paul, let's get to your second question.

You are searching for an answer.

Let's see what your can find from the Think Tank.

Web log.

Biographical.

Web log.

Biographical log.

Blogging.

Blogcast.

Biographical literature.

Biographies.

-Well, you've got a lot to choose from there, haven't you?

-Yeah.

-I actually have a blog myself.

-OK.

So I do a lot of blogging,

but I'm not sure if what Anisha has said is

the actual term that they're asking for.

So I'm looking at what Max has said -

biographical log.

I'm going to go with Max.

Biographical log.

You've taken Max's answer - biographical log.

Let's see if that does boil down to blog.

No, it doesn't. Web log.

-You should have gone with Arminel and Lucy there.

-Yeah.

So, sadly, no extra money in your kitty just at the moment.

Lynne, your second question, Coming up now.

Think Tank, what did you think?

Bull.

Jackal.

Bull.

Donkey.

Fox.

Fox.

Bull.

Horse.

Well, you've got a lot of bull there.

LAUGHTER

Heck of a lot of bull.

You've got a jackal, a donkey, a couple of foxes and a horse.

What do you think?

A lot of people seem to think it was a bull,

but I can't kind of fit that in with the name.

I'm actually going to go with Anisha and Ken,

and I'm going to go for fox cos he's quite foxy, quite sly.

Zorro is the Spanish word for which animal?

You've chosen fox. let's see if you're right.

You are indeed.

So, Lynne. £200 added to your prize fund.

Three of you said bull.

Well, zorro is fox,

Toro is bull.

Don't know why I know that, being a Turnbull myself, but there you are.

So at the end of the first round let's take a look at the prize funds.

Currently, Kate and John Paul are tied on £200.

In the lead though is Lynne, with £400.

APPLAUSE

It could all change in our next round, of course.

Everything to play for.

Every member of the Think Tank is holding two questions

which they answered correctly before the show.

You will take turns then to pick someone in the Think Tank,

whose knowledge you think you can match.

And again, for every correct answer

£200 will be added to your prize fund.

Once a Think Tanker has asked both of their questions

they can't be picked again. OK?

Kate, you get to go first.

You've got the whole bunch to choose from.

So whose knowledge do you think you can match?

I'm going to go with Anisha.

Anisha. That's a very wise choice, I think.

OK, Anisha, what's your question?

OK, so, I got this question right

because I used to be a make-up artist.

I've had an eyeliner that was kohl before.

I'm going to say black.

You're going to say black.

So, what colour is the traditional eye make-up kohl -

particularly popular in eastern countries?

Anisha, is she right?

You're right! Yay!

Well done. That's £200 added to your running total.

John Paul, who do you want to choose?

Wow, boy. Erm...

Lucy, give it a try.

All right, Lucy.

I run a dance school,

so I knew the answer to this one, and you may well too. Let's see.

I do like the reality TV shows,

and he was from Britain's Got Talent

with a group called Diversity.

Diversity is your answer to the question.

Ashley Banjo, finding fame as the leader of which dance troupe?

Let's see if you're right.

Diversity's correct, well done.

And they were the winners of Britain's Got Talent in 2009,

so well-remembered.

£200 is added to your running total.

OK, Lynne, you've still got everybody to choose from.

Whose knowledge do you think you can match?

I think I'm actually going to pick Max

-because he's got an interest in film and literature.

-Max?

Well, you're in luck, Lynne - it is a literature question,

and this is one of my favourite authors, and if you don't know

the answer, I am happy to lend you a copy so you can swot up next time.

Have you read much Graham Greene?

I have, I just can't think of the title.

Erm...

OK, I think I've got my answer.

I think it's Brighton Rock.

You think it's Brighton Rock.

Max?

Well, Lynne, it's Brighton Rock.

-Yeah!

-Well done!

-APPLAUSE

Well done. £200 added to your running total.

Kate, who are you going to choose this time round?

-I'm going to choose Lucy.

-OK. Lucy?

It's a travel-related question.

I've done quite a bit of travelling,

and hopefully you'll know the answer to this.

Ever been to Cape Town?

I have, and I've also been to the top of the mountain.

It's easy then.

-My answer is Table Mountain.

-Table Mountain.

Not wasting any time on that. Is she right?

She's absolutely correct. Well done, Kate.

So, £200 pounds more into your prize fund.

John Paul, it means because that last question

was to Lucy, you can't choose her any longer.

Who do you want to pick then?

Erm...

-Cleve, you're a musician, aren't you?

-Yeah.

But Peter is just smiling all the time.

LAUGHTER

I smile a lot, he smiles a lot.

Yeah, will he be smiling by the time you've finished?

Who are you going to choose?

-I'm going to go for Cleve.

-Oh!

All right, Cleve, what's your question?

I'm sure he's one of the most expensive to go.

I'm sure he hit some records when he went.

He left...Tottenham Hotspurs.

-Tottenham Hotspur?

-Yeah.

-You sure about that?

-Yeah.

Gareth Bale left which club to join Real Madrid in 2013?

Is he right to be so sure, Cleve?

Absolutely. Tottenham Hotspur.

Well done.

Gareth Bale left them to join Real Madrid for what was said

to be a record fee of more than 100 million euros.

You don't get quite that much.

You get £200 into your prize fund, but every little bit helps.

-Exactly, exactly.

-So, Lynne, your turn to choose somebody again.

-You've got the whole Tank apart from Lucy to choose from.

-OK.

Well, I think Max came through for me last time,

so I'm going to have Max again, if I may, please.

-Happy to help out, Lynne.

-All right, then.

Now, this is a question that does relate to travel,

so it's not a literature one, but it's the country I love,

and I hope you've been to it,

because if you haven't, you definitely should.

Have you ever been to Poland?

No, I've never been to Poland, ever.

-Can you see that flag?

-I kind of, sort of can.

I think it's got like an eagle in the middle.

I'm going to go for the main colours as being black and red.

Which two colours feature on the national flag of Poland?

Max, are they black and red?

Well, Lynne, you're half-right.

It's red and white.

-Oh.

-OK.

Sorry, you don't get half marks on this programme, sadly.

Never mind.

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

So, Kate, your turn again.

Only now you can't ask Max any more as well as Lucy.

I think I'll go back with my original choice and Anisha, please.

OK, I hope you like Family Guy

because this is a Family Guy question.

-Have you ever watched Family Guy?

-Not really.

-OK.

So I don't know the answer.

I'll try and come up with AN answer.

Yeah.

-Sillytown.

-Why not?

-Why not?

-It's a cartoon.

-It could be.

The TV comedy series Family Guy is set in which fictional town?

Is it Sillytown, Anisha?

I'm so sorry, it's not. It's Quahog.

-Quahog.

-Quahog.

-Quahog, is that what they call it?

-AMERICAN ACCENT:

-They call it Quahog.

-I wonder where they got that name from.

-AMERICAN ACCENT:

-I don't know, but that's what they call it.

So, sadly for you, Kate, no more to your cash fund.

So, John Paul, we move on to you,

only now you've only got five of the Think Tankers to choose from.

Definitely going for Peter now.

LAUGHTER Just to cheer him up a little bit.

I go to the cinema a lot, so I hope you do.

-So this is a film question, actually.

-OK.

Paul Rudd played which Marvel comics superhero in a 2015 film?

I don't know what he looks like!

He looks a bit like Jim Bills, to be honest.

LAUGHTER

Don't think he'll be Batman or Superman,

cos I probably would have seen it, I'm sure.

There's a new film out, I'm sure it was Daredevil or something.

-I'm going to go with Daredevil.

-Why not?

Be a daredevil and go with Daredevil.

-Exactly.

-You never know.

-I have no idea.

Was it Daredevil, Peter?

-I'm afraid not, it was Ant-man.

-Oh!

-And I've seen it!

-And he's seen it!

LAUGHTER

He's seen it. Oh, dear.

-What a shame. Sorry, John Paul.

-No worries.

You stay where you are in your cash fund.

OK, we come to Lynne then.

And you do still have five members of the Think Tank to choose from.

Who do you want to go with?

I think I'm going to go with Ken because he came through for me

with the Zorro question with fox.

I used to live in Spain for 11 years,

so that's how I knew the answer before.

I've really got no idea.

I'm going to go with something that I eat quite a lot.

I'm perhaps going to go with sardines.

The tapas dish bacalao is traditionally made with which type of fish?

You think it's a sardine.

It's bigger fish to fry, I'm afraid. It's cod.

-Cod, indeed.

-Oh. OK.

-So, I'm afraid, wrong answer for you.

In fact, all three of you had a bit of a dry run there.

So at the end of that round,

let's see how your prize funds have changed.

And...it's a three-way tie.

Kate, John Paul, Lynne, you're all on £600. Well done.

APPLAUSE

So, contestants, one of you is going to have to leave the game

shortly, but there's still a chance for any of you to take the lead.

All of you will now be asked the same question.

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

they gave before the programme and why they believe it's correct.

However...only one of them is going to be right.

If you side with the correct person,

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

Just five questions remaining now before we have to say goodbye

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

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

And here's the question.

Arminel, what did you say?

Well, I said The Great British Bake Off.

I do like baking, but I don't watch the show much myself,

but I do know it's a very popular show and therefore

I sort of had an inkling that it might be the right answer.

-OK, you're saying The Great British Bake Off.

-Yes.

-Anisha?

I'm saying Strictly Come Dancing because there was a point

where everyone was like, "Oh, Strictly, Strictly, Strictly!"

and I was like, "What? I don't watch this, but it must be popular."

So Strictly Come Dancing.

-Arminel, you're saying Great British Bake Off.

-Yes.

Anisha, Strictly Come Dancing.

I wonder who's right.

Contestants, let's see who you are siding with.

Please lock in your answers.

Kate, you've gone with Anisha, Strictly Come Dancing.

John Paul and Lynne have decided to follow the advice of Arminel.

Here's the answer.

It's The Great British Bake Off, so well done, Arminel,

-good knowledge, there. Good try, Anisha.

-Yeah, good try.

Yes, off you go. OK, dance back to your places.

And it means we add £200 to John Paul and Lynne's prize fund.

For our next question, we're going to hear answers from Peter and Lucy.

And the question is...

-Peter.

-I said Paris because it's not that far away from the Channel

and London's right at the bottom of the UK.

-OK. Lucy?

-I said Brussels.

I've made the journey to both Paris and Brussels and I feel,

on balance, that Brussels is nearer.

-You got there quicker, did you?

-I got there quicker, yeah!

All right, then! So, contestants...

you have a choice between Paris and Brussels.

They both believe they have the right answer,

but only one is correct.

Lock in your answers, please.

So who did you side with?

Kate, you've gone for Brussels, and Lucy, John Paul thinks it's Paris.

Lynne also with Lucy on that one. Let's see if you're right.

The answer is indeed Brussels.

APPLAUSE

It's 199 miles between London and Brussels.

Paris is 214 miles, so there's 15 miles in it,

-but it was a good go at it, Pete. Thanks very much.

-Just my height.

Thank you. Kate and Lynne, you each add £200 to your prize fund.

So our next two Think Tankers coming up here are Jackie and Cleve.

And your question is this.

You love travelling, don't you?

I love travelling, and I know the answer to this, I'm sure.

I think the answer is actually in the question

cos it says "adult" destination, and I think it's Ibiza.

-All right, then. Cleve, what do you think it is?

-I think it's Majorca.

-Majorca, OK.

-Yep.

So Jackie is saying Ibiza, Cleve is saying Majorca, Mallorca.

Contestants, please lock your answers in.

So, Kate, you've gone with Ibiza, John Paul siding also with Jackie,

but Lynne has gone with Mallorca. Is she right?

The answer is Mallorca. APPLAUSE

So, Jackie, I'm afraid you were wrong on Ibiza.

You sounded very confident on it,

-but, Cleve, right answer with Mallorca, so well done.

-Thank you.

So well done, Lynne. An extra £200 for you.

So, for our next question, we hear answers from Max and Arminel.

Here's the question.

-Max?

-Well, I said Barack Obama because

I think he's the great statesman of our time

and I think his lyrical eloquence fits in very well with

the sort of middle-of-the-road pop that Coldplay offers.

LAUGHTER

OK, not entirely complimentary, but I can see what you're getting at!

-Arminel?

-Well, I was thinking of world leaders,

focusing on the world leaders aspect, and rejected Barack Obama

and came upon the Pope, so I decided that the Pope would have some

wise things, some nice things that people would wish to include.

OK. Max, you're saying Barack Obama. Arminel is saying the Pope.

Have a think about that and lock in your answers, please.

Kate's gone with the Pope,

but John Paul and Lynne have gone with Barack Obama.

Let's see if you're right.

It is Barack Obama!

APPLAUSE There you go.

The song features the clip of Barack Obama singing

Amazing Grace, used with his permission,

so well done to you, Max.

Good try, Arminel. Thanks very much.

That means that, again, Lynne and John Paul,

you add £200 to your prize fund.

Kate, you're stalling a little bit there,

but we've got one more question to go, so for our final question,

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

And here it is.

-Anisha.

-Right, so I went with tails because I thought,

"Oh, I don't really see apes in trees hanging upside down,

"but I see that from monkeys because they hang off their tails,

-"and apes don't have that." That's what I thought.

-All right. Ken?

Well, I'm a great nature programme lover and I thought...

I've looked at it quite closely and I think it's nails.

-Hm, OK.

-Just based on watching programmes like Planet Earth? Nails?

-Yes, I watch close-ups, of course.

-OK.

Contestants, you have a choice between tails and nails.

Please lock in your answers.

Tails for Kate, tails for John Paul, tails for Lynne.

Let's see if they're right.

-Tails it is.

-Well done.

APPLAUSE

They used their heads, they got tails, just like you did, Anisha.

-Well done. Ken, good try.

-Thank you.

-Thanks very much.

So that means that you've all added £200 to your prize fund,

so let's take a look at your totals.

In the lead is Lynne with £1,600,

followed by John Paul with £1,200

and trailing just behind is Kate with £1,000.

So, with the lowest sum in her kitty,

-we have to say goodbye to Kate. Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

-You've enjoyed being here?

-Yes, absolutely.

-Good.

-Well, you played very well. Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

Lynne and John Paul, you two will now compete

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

So, John Paul, if you were to win, how would you spend the cash?

There's a lot of wires that probably need replacing at the studio

-that I've got in Wolverhampton, but...

-Oh, come on!

..I probably would spend it on a holiday with the family.

And Lynne, what would you do with your winnings?

Well, I'd like to treat my husband to a fine dining experience

and then I think we'd have a little family celebration or something,

maybe a weekend away somewhere.

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 will take home the money

that they've built up so far.

Fortunately, the Think Tank - well, possibly fortunately -

the Think Tank is still on hand to help you out.

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

Each member can only be picked once

and the difference in the final compared to the

rest of the show is that they haven't seen any of these

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

this time, possibly even more.

LAUGHTER

So, Lynne, you built up the most money in the main game,

so the final starts with you. Here is your first question.

Who do you want to consult with on this one? You've got all eight.

I think I'm actually going to ask Lucy because she did a sports degree

so she probably knows about parts of the body.

When I heard the question read out, I thought,

"Lumbago sounds a bit 'lumbar'," so I'm wondering if it's the back.

Do you have any thoughts? Is there anything that came to mind?

When it came up, I did initially think that it was the back

-so that's kind of confirmed it, really.

-Yeah.

-What's your final answer going to be?

-I'm going to go with the back.

Lumbago refers to pain in which part of the body? You've said back.

What's the answer?

It is indeed. APPLAUSE

So you're one up. Well done. Here's your question, John Paul.

So, which member of the Think Tank are you going to ask?

Obsolete? Ooh...

I'm trying to think. It's to do with money. Erm...

I would possibly go with Ken.

-Of course, I was around under the old money.

-OK.

And the coin was a farthing...

-Right.

-..which, if you look at it,

it's a fourth of a thing, a farthing.

I have no idea, so I will go with Ken on this one,

I will say a farthing, yeah.

OK.

Ken says farthing. You're going with Ken.

Are you right?

You are indeed, well done.

I suppose you're too young to remember the old coinage, are you?

-Exactly, I was, yeah.

-Seems like yesterday to us, doesn't it, Ken?

All right, you've drawn level, 1-1.

Lynne, here's your second question.

Who do you want to choose for this one?

I think I may go with Cleve.

Actually I used to box when I was a youngster.

I was 15. I do believe the T stands for Technical. Technical knockout.

You say the T stands for Technical. Are you convinced by that?

Yes, I am.

-So that's what you're going to go with?

-Yes, I'll go with Cleve.

All right.

Will it be a knockout for you?

The right answer, well done.

So very good choice, very good use of the Think Tank so far.

2-1 to Lynne but you can

equalise quite easily here,

John Paul.

Let's see your question.

So you've got five of the Think Tank to choose from still.

Which of them looks like a bingo player?

Jackie.

I knew you were going to say that.

I think I might know this, actually.

-Because a lot of them is sort of like rhyming.

-Yeah.

Five and nine the Brighton Line.

-Five and nine the Brighton Line.

-I'm going to go with you.

So you're saying 59 is the Brighton Line. Are you right?

Well done, Jackie.

Well done. So 2-2.

It's very close. Lynne, here's your next question.

So you've got half of the Think Tank to choose from.

I'm going to go with Max, please, if I may.

I believe H is for Hawk, in this case.

-I don't know if you've seen the book as well.

-Yes, I have and I agree

with you that H is for Hawk.

Let's see if you're right.

Yes. H is for Hawk indeed.

It is of course a memoir of the year she spent training a goshawk,

actually, after her father died.

She felt very upset by that, it helped her through the process.

It is a very good book, so well done. 3-2 to Lynne.

Still, John Paul, you can draw level if you get this one.

Right, here is your question.

Who've you got left to choose from?

Arminel, Peter and Anisha.

I'm going to go with Arminel.

-Arminel.

-Yes.

I think I can help out here

because the French for tooth is "dent" and then "lion".

So I think it's "dent de lion", dandelion!

-Dandelion.

-Yes.

I'll go with what you said

-and dandelion, Bill.

-Dandelion.

Let's see if you're right.

You are indeed, well done.

You are tied at 3-3.

So, Lynne, here's your next question.

You've got Peter and Anisha to choose from.

I'd like to choose Peter, if I may.

I think it's got to be one of our closest planets which is Mars.

Well, I've got no idea whatsoever.

So, I'm going to go with Mars.

What's the answer?

The correct answer is Venus.

So, John Paul, it means if you get this answer right,

you go into the lead.

OK. What's your question?

You are left with Anisha to help you.

-I would say it's an elephant.

-Why an elephant though?

-I don't know.

-Cos I thought that'd be more of an Indian thing, right?

It's up to you though,

-but I would've said like a bird or something.

-Yeah.

-I would say go with your gut.

-Even if I'm wrong.

That's ridiculous. Cos I was actually born there.

You're with me now, so it's fine so there we go.

-I'm going to go with elephant.

-You'll go with elephant.

-Yeah.

Let's see if he's right.

You went with your gut and you did the right thing.

That puts you one ahead. So did you grow up with an American accent?

-With a Texan accent.

-Dang! You did the right thing.

So, contestants, this is your fifth question.

There are no Think Tankers left to help you out.

Lynne, if you don't get this one right,

it means that John Paul will be today's winner.

-No pressure then!

-No pressure.

-Here we go.

What's your question?

You're on your own with this one.

Anne Hathaway.

Anne Hathaway is the name of an Oscar-winning actress?

I think she was in Les Miserables.

Mm-hm. And that's the name of William Shakespeare's wife?

-I think so.

-Keep you in the game then, you're saying Anne Hathaway.

-Yes.

-OK.

Let's see what the answer is.

It is the right answer.

She won Best Supporting Actress for Les Miserables.

You got the right answer, still in it to win it.

John Paul, you have the last question so get this right

and you are the winner. OK?

Here's the question.

They can't give you any advice in the Think Tank.

Princess Charlotte...

-I think probably Elizabeth might be in there somewhere.

-Mm-hm.

-Mary?

Mary Elizabeth Charlotte?

I'll just say Mary Elizabeth.

If this answer's correct, you'll be our winner.

If not, we'll go to a tie break.

-Oh, God.

-Elizabeth and Mary. What is the right answer?

Why didn't I say Diana. Of course. That's his daughter.

Princess Charlotte, the second child of the Duke

-and Duchess of Cambridge.

-Yep.

Elizabeth named after the Queen, Diana of course named after

-William's mum.

-I should've said that.

-There you go.

But it means that after five questions each,

your scores are tied. We're going to sudden death.

Ooooh!

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

so you are still on your own till we get a winner. OK.

Lynne, here's your next question.

Erm, OK...

Yeah, there's North Yorkshire. The one in...

..the Lake District but I can't remember the name.

No, I'm going to have to go with North Yorkshire National Park.

-North Yorks.

-North Yorkshire, North Yorks National Park.

-Yeah.

Let's see if you're right.

-The answer is the Lake District - you had it!

-Northumberland.

You had it. The Lake District.

Yeah. Oh, dear, slipped through your fingers the chance of the lead

there, so John Paul if you get this next one right, you are the winner.

Let's see what the question is.

I'm going to say that...

it's a game that I play with my youth group that

I have at my church and I think it's table tennis.

Table tennis.

Confident answer.

-Are you sure?

-I can't think of any other ball that's that light.

This to win today...

What's the answer?

It is indeed, well done.

Congratulations, John Paul, you are the winner.

Commiserations, Lynne, you were so close.

-It was a titanic battle, wasn't it?

-Yeah.

-Really wonderful.

But sadly, not taking anything home apart from the glory of being

so close to being the winner.

John Paul, as our winner,

you'll definitely be taking home your prize of £1,200.

Shortly you'll have the chance also to add an extra £1,000 to your winnings.

First though, let's take a moment to congratulate the Think Tanker

who gave the most correct answers during the show.

Almost forget you were here! The top thinker was...

Arminel! Well done.

So, John Paul you now have one last chance to seriously

boost your prize money and face our Question: Impossible.

This is the toughest question of the whole show

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

So, if you can achieve, John Paul, what none of them here could,

and give us a correct answer, that extra £1,000 is yours, OK?

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

Before you give your answer, we'll give you a little bit of help

because we're going to take a look at the Think Tank's wrong answers,

this'll help you rule a few of them out so let's see what they said...

So eight wrong answers there, does that help you get anywhere close?

Not at all, Bill. Number one, I don't really read that much anyway.

He-devil, for some reason the name Eddie Izzard popped into my head.

I'm going to go with Eddie Izzard.

You're saying Eddie Izzard.

Whose memoir is entitled The Life and Loves of a He-Devil?

You say it's Eddie Izzard.

For an extra £1,000, are you right?

It's Graham Norton.

You weren't far off, were you?

And I like him, he's funny.

Oh, dear, that wasn't it. You didn't conquer Question: Impossible,

-but you're still leaving with your sum of £1,200.

-Thank you.

-You've still got a smile on your face.

-I do, I do.

-OK.

Well done, John Paul, thank you very much for being with us.

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 is goodbye from them...

-Goodbye!

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