Episode 4 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 Mike,

a deputy superintendent registrar from Exeter,

Christine, an education consultant from East Sussex,

and Colm, a clinical psychologist from Manchester.

This is Think Tank.

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

-Hi, guys. ALL:

-Hello.

Among them, we have film buffs, sports enthusiasts and bookworms.

All on hand to help out our three contestants -

Mike, Christine and Colm.

Welcome to you all.

-Mike, you're a deputy superintendent registrar.

-Grand title.

What does that mean?

It basically means I conduct

and register all manner of civil ceremonies.

-Weddings, that sort of thing?

-Weddings, definitely weddings.

What's the weirdest wedding you've had to deal with?

Done a Star Wars wedding on May 4, obviously.

Of course, "May the fourth be with you."

All the bridesmaids had their hair done like Princess Leia

and they hired out a 6ft4 Yorkshireman to dress up

-as Darth Vader and come in halfway through the ceremony.

-Ah!

Do you get other things apart from humans involved in the ceremony?

We do, we've had owls fly off with the rings into the rafters

of a big old barn and one of our approved premises

is a donkey sanctuary, so you can have two donkeys as witnesses,

but...it gets a little bit difficult when they go to sign the register

-at the end of the ceremony.

-Yeah.

Mike, do you have any other claims to fame?

1979, I won the Cutest Baby Of The Year competition in Exeter.

-It was a very fallow year.

-OTHERS:

-Aw.

-You were the cutest baby...

-For the whole of Exeter.

-Time hasn't been kind.

-And you've retained those good looks.

Thank you, too kind. Thank you.

What's your strongest subject going to be, do you think?

Er, I wouldn't say sport or TV/films,

-my two strongest subjects, hopefully.

-OK, and weakest?

-Anything to do with science. I'm not that good.

-Science. Ah, well.

-Arminel, Arminel is a teacher of chemistry, of course.

-Yes, yes.

-I may be coming to you quite often.

-SHE LAUGHS

She's a very reliable.

-OK, Christine, you're an education consultant.

-Yes, that's right.

-So, people with education problems come to you?

-Yes, they do.

I mainly work with groups who are proposing free schools.

OK, because I've got some potential clients for you.

This lot claim to have had an education

-but I'm not so sure, sometimes.

-Ooh!

Away from work, what do you get up to?

Well, um, I do quite a bit of quizzing. I run a lot.

-Quite a bit of quizzing?

-Yes.

-Oh!

-So, we're in a quiz team.

-Uh-huh.

And we go quizzing every Tuesday evening in Bexhill-on-Sea.

Goodness gracious, you're in good training.

Setting out your stall early? OK.

And, Colm, you're a clinical psychologist.

Does that make you a doctor?

It does indeed, Bill. Yeah, it is. I've been qualified since November.

Congratulations, hasn't he done well?

Yay!

-Thank you very much.

-Good. Now, you're from Manchester.

You don't sound like you're from Manchester.

Originally from County Derry in the North of Ireland,

from a little tiny village called Bellaghy.

It's got one street, two shops...

-and four pubs.

-LAUGHTER

Apart from learning psychology, which you've just qualified in,

what else have you been learning recently?

-Well, I've started learning salsa.

-Oh.

With my partner, she is from Mexico

and she's a quite experienced salsa dancer.

So she's got me doing a bit of salsa, you know?

Anisha's done a bit of dance, haven't you, Anisha?

Yeah, like back in the day.

You went to the same dance school as Diversity?

I did, before they became Diversity.

Yeah, so they'd probably have no idea who I am.

Think, "Why is she mentioning my name?" But...yeah.

OK, I'm not sure if that's a good idea then to consult her or not,

to be honest.

What's your strongest subject going to be, do you think?

-I'd say music, entertainment, maybe sport as well now.

-Ah, well.

Music, entertainment, sport is Cleve's arena there.

And where are you going to need help?

-Anything sciencey - biology, chemistry.

-Oh.

They're going to be queuing up for you, Arminel.

They're going to be competing over me!

-Good luck.

-That's nice.

-For a change.

-ABI GIGGLES

See what I mean? Well, good luck.

-Welcome to the programme, all three of you.

-Thank 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 will walk away with the cash prize.

So, let's play the first round.

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

then every member of the Think Tank will reveal the answer

that they gave before the show.

So, the correct answer is always there somewhere

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

Pick out the right answer, £200 is added to your total. OK?

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

OK, here we go.

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

Starting with Arminel.

Two heads, two necks, a mouth, a foot, a nose and some knees.

Pretty much the entire human body!

Yeah, I think...

Trying to remember my old actors, I think I'm going to go

Gregory Peck, rhymes with neck, so neck is my answer.

Neck, OK.

In cockney rhyming slang,

the word Gregory refers to which part of the body?

You're saying it's the neck. Let's see if you're right.

-Neck, it is. Well done.

-Hey!

Max and Arminel, both right there, well done. So, £200 for you, Mike.

You're quickly off the mark and now it's Christine's turn.

Here's your question...

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

So, half the Think Tank going for meteor, three for meteorite

and one for asteroid. What do you think, Christine?

Well, I think I might go with Arminel

because she's a chemistry teacher and should know the answer to this.

-So it is meteorite.

-Meteorite is what you want to go with.

For the name given to a piece of rock or metal that's fallen

to the earth's surface from outer space.

Let's have a look.

Meteorite, it is indeed.

So, what's the difference between a meteorite and a meteor?

I think it's that the meteorite is once it's actually hit

the earth's surface, so it's become the piece of rock.

Whereas the meteor is when it's still falling

through the atmosphere. I think that's the difference. I think.

It'll do it for me. Sounds convincing.

All right, thanks very much. And that's £200 for you, Christine.

Colm, your first turn.

You don't have to answer just yet

until you've seen what the Think Tank said.

Three for The Shining, two for Dirty Dancing

and a couple of others as well in there, Colm.

-Do you remember this at all?

-Yeah, I wasn't around...

Well, I was growing up in the '80s but I wasn't watching many films.

Em, I think it would probably be Dirty Dancing.

Dirty Dancing would be my answer. Very much a guess.

You're guessing Dirty Dancing.

HE REPEATS THE QUESTION

Let's see if you're right.

-Yes!

-Dirty Dancing, it is.

Starred Jennifer Grey as Baby

and Patrick Swayze as the dance teacher, Johnny,

and has that amazing scene where she comes down the stairs at the end

and flies into his arms.

Good for you that you've got a dance question

because you've just started doing the salsa. Jackie, On The Buses.

There was a film made of On The Buses, wasn't there?

-Yes, in a holiday camp, yes.

-Really?

-Yeah.

I've never watched Dirty Dancing all the way through.

I know everybody raves about it

but I've never watched it all the way through.

You should watch Dirty Dancing, you might have "the time of your life".

-Hey! OTHERS:

-Oh! Bill!

Thank you very much.

£200, Colm, is added to your prize fund. Mike, your second question...

Let's see what the Think Tank came out with for this one.

Remember, the correct answer is always there somewhere. Arminel?

That's pretty much dotted all over the map there.

Mike, what do you think?

Er, I'm referring to my film knowledge again.

I remember the film Sleepless In Seattle

and I remember it poured cats and dogs all the way through that.

So with a high rainfall, I'm going to have to go with

Arminel and Max and say Seattle.

OK, Seattle is your answer for the major US city famous for its

high rainfall known as the Emerald City

due to the lush foliage in the area.

Let's see if you were right.

Seattle, it is, well done.

Max, you've got that one right.

You've been on a road trip around the States.

-Did you ever get to Seattle?

-I have. You're absolutely right. I went down

through the south, so I still haven't made it to Seattle but one

day, I'll go along the north as well and I'll report back to see

-if it is as wet as they say.

-OK. Well done.

£200 then added to your prize fund.

And, Christine, we come to your second question...

Here are the suggestions from the Think Tank.

Seven different suggestions for you there,

so that's quite a large range.

I'm sort of tempted to go with Tristan

but somehow I don't think that's right. Erm...

So I'm going to go with Max and say Billy the Kid.

You're going to go with Max and Billy the kid?

Henry McCarty and William H Bonney, names used by which famous criminal.

You say Billy the Kid. Are you right?

You are indeed. Well done.

Well...

Billy the Kid, of course, killed by Sheriff Pat Garrett in 1881.

So a very good choice to go with Max there. Yeah, well done.

£200 is added to your account and we come to Colm.

Let's have a look at what the Think Tank had to say about that.

Well, a lot of the Think Tank, most of the Think Tank says

-it's got something to do with driving or drivers.

-Yes.

-Two others may also have the right answer.

-Hmm.

I would, I think it's going to be driver or driving.

So I'd say the Driver...Vehicle Licence Agency. Driver?

Driver is what you want to go with

as the D in the name of the government agency called the DVLA?

Let's see if you're right.

Driver's the right answer.

It is, as you correctly said, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency.

Peter, you didn't get that quite right

but did you pass your test recently?

-I did, with 14 minors.

-Phew! 14 minors? What, Morris Minors or what?

-14 mistakes?

-Yes.

-And they still let you pass?

-Just about.

-Was this your first time?

-It was, yes.

-Wow. Well, that's amazing.

Well done, good.

Have you corrected, ironed out your minors?

-I'm going to work on it later on in the year.

-OK, good.

£200 for Colm there and that's the end of the round.

Let's see how you're all doing.

You've actually all got all your questions right so far,

so you're all tied on £400. Well done.

So, let's see who is going to take the lead in the next round.

Every member of the Think Tank is holding two questions,

which they answered correctly before the show.

So you will take it in turns to pick someone from the tank

whose knowledge you think you can match and, for every correct answer,

another £200 will be added to your total.

Once the Think Tanker has asked both of their questions,

they can't be picked again. OK?

Mike, you're up first.

You've got the whole bunch to choose from. Who do you want to go with?

I will go with...Peter.

-So you're going to go with our pizza waiter Peter.

-Yes.

-OK.

I got this question right because I quite enjoy the artist's work.

So my question for you is...

HE REPEATS THE QUESTION

-Not a complicated question at all, really.

-No!

No. The first thing that came to my head was a cow

but obviously that's not a marine creature. Em...

It'll have to be a guess. Em...

A whale.

No, it's a complete guess.

-It would be a pretty big tank, but whale.

-Going for a whale?

As the marine creature suspended in liquid in Damien Hirst's work.

-Peter?

-I'm afraid you got it wrong, it's a shark.

-Ah!

-Not far off.

-Never a fan of Jaws.

Damien Hirst has also used cows and sheep in his other works.

So, no money for you there, Mike. And, Christine, your choice.

Anybody you like.

-Erm, Max.

-English literature graduate Max.

-Hi, Christine.

Well, this question is about a book series

that's very close to my heart.

Partially because I was very nearly cast in a film about it.

HE REPEATS THE QUESTION

I really haven't got a clue. Because this is one of my weakest subjects.

The Edwards family.

Edwards, you're going with, as the surname of the children

who visit Narnia.

-Max?

-I'm afraid it's Pevensie. Pevensie!

-Indeed.

Do you know what the children's names were?

I'll see if I can do them all.

We've got Edmund, we've got Lucy, we've got Peter

-and I can never remember the other sister.

-Susan.

-Susan, there we go. Well done.

-OK, and which part did you go for?

-So, I was for their little-known cousin Eustace.

-So nearly there!

-So nearly there.

-Isn't he very unpleasant?

He is deeply unpleasant, Arminel.

And yes, I have to say, maybe a bit of a typecasting there.

-Was that Eustace or useless?

-Useless!

One big happy family here.

OK, Max. Thanks very much. Sorry, no money for you there, Christine.

Colm.

You're up next and again, you've got all eight to choose from.

-I think I'll go for Cleve.

-Our musician Cleve.

-All right, Colm?

I like your name, by the way.

-My son's called Callum, my youngest one.

-Ah!

And I know it's a derivative of that name.

So, this is musical,

more about an instrument rather than recorded music.

HE REPEATS THE QUESTION

That's a tough one.

Em, I'm struggling, struggling again.

I'll guess triangle. I don't know. Triangle.

Triangle is the one-word name for an orchestra's kettledrums.

That's what you think. Is he right?

It's actually a timpani.

The correct answer is timpani, typically made from copper.

-Triangle's the little one that goes - tinky-tink, tink!

-Yes.

There you go.

Well, you were just guessing so it's always best to guess,

if you don't know. You never know, it might work.

So, no money for Colm there and we go back to Mike

and, Mike, you can still choose anybody you like.

I'll go for Abi.

I know she got the Dirty Dancing question right, so I love that film.

So one of my favourite drinks to have is this

and I recently went to the district that it was made in.

HE REPEATS THE QUESTION

Got an answer but it seems a bit too obvious. But...

I'll have to go with my... Italy? I think.

-Italy is what you want to say?

-Yeah.

Prosecco produced in Italy, Abi?

-Pop! You got it.

-Yeah!

Gut feeling sometimes works for you, so that's good.

-It's quite a big gut as well.

-THEY LAUGH

£200 for you, Mike, and, Christine, your turn.

-Still everyone to choose from.

-Em, Jackie.

-Our retired local government manager, Jackie.

-Hiya, Christine.

I got this one right

because I actually like both the artists that are involved in it.

HE REPEATS THE QUESTION

Really don't know. These again, one of my weakest subjects.

Em, I would say Elton John.

-Elton John is what you want to go with?

-Yes.

OK, was Elton John the other recording artist on the single

Stand which also featured Dido?

I'm sorry, Chrissie. No, it was Eminem.

-Who my grandson still finds hilarious that I like.

-Yeah!

Eminem was the answer that we wanted.

No money for Christine there and we move on to Colm.

Still any one of them you can go for.

-I think this time, I will go with Anisha.

-Anisha?

-Our office assistant.

-OK, did you say you liked films?

-Yes.

OK, well, you're going to get this one right then, OK?

Positive energy and stuff.

So the reason why I know this isn't because I've seen the film

but I've seen the adverts for it

and his face is slapped all over at the poster. So...

HE REPEATS THE QUESTION

Em, initially I was going to say Mark Wahlberg

but I think it's Matt Damon.

I'll go with Matt Damon.

Matt Damon is your answer for the stranded astronaut

in the film The Martian. Anisha?

He indeed was stranded, well done.

-It's correct.

-Thank you.

-Well done.

Clever to go with Matt Damon.

Mark Wahlberg was in a science-fiction movie,

of course, Planet Of The Apes, the remake of it.

But the Ridley Scott film had Matt Damon in it. So, well done.

£200 for you.

And we're back to Mike, your third and final question in this round.

I will go for...Anisha.

-Anisha again.

-OK.

-I hope it's another film one.

-It's not, actually.

-Oh.

-But it's music.

-Do you like music?

-I like it but I'm not that up-to-date on it.

OK, I think you'll be fine with this one. So...

HE REPEATS THE QUESTION

I really don't know. Em, I'll have to go for a guess.

Erm...

Dido. Only because it's been said before, but Dido.

Going for Dido as the British pop star born in Kosovo in 1990.

-Anisha?

-It's not, unfortunately. It's Rita Ora.

Rita Ora was the answer we wanted.

She moved to London when she was just one year old.

-Yeah. So, no money there and, Christine, we'll come to you.

-Erm...

-Go with Tristan.

-Tristan?

It's a pretty obvious answer, so the question is quite short.

You should know the answer, hopefully.

HE REPEATS THE QUESTION

Ah, now that's a fish.

A smoked fish.

OK, you're saying an Arbroath Smokie is a smoked fish.

One of the best tasting smoked fish in the whole of the UK.

-Good answer.

-Well done.

Actually, typically a haddock, usually an Arbroath Smokie,

but smoked fish was the answer that you gave

and it's the answer that we wanted, so £200 for you, Christine.

Well done. Colm, we come to you.

And you've still got everybody to choose from apart from Anisha.

-I think I will choose Jackie.

-Right.

I'm not really into DIY myself

but I'm a really good supervisor...

I think, and I can...

-You surprise us.

-Crack the whip! Yeah!

But I did know the answer to this one.

HE REPEATS THE QUESTION

-Do you do much DIY?

-Not enough, I wish I did more. With that question.

Em, MDF.

I would hazard a guess - defence.

I'm not sure why, defence.

Defence is what you think the letter D stands for in MDF.

Oh, I was so hoping you'd get it right as well. It's density.

-Density.

-Density. The medium density fibreboard is what it is.

-Ah.

No money there for you, Colm, at the end of that round

and that means you are all tied on £600.

So, contestants. One of you will shortly have to leave the programme

but there is one last chance for any of you to take the lead.

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

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

they gave before the show and why they believe they're correct.

Only one of them's going to be right, of course.

But if you side with the correct person,

it'll add an all-important £200 to your total.

Five questions only remaining

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

So, do choose your answers carefully, OK?

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

And here is the first question...

Cleve?

Well, I've travelled a fair amount, played music across the world

and played with lots of musicians from other places who've come here.

And I've never heard anyone say their houses are expensive

-as our houses here in the United Kingdom.

-OK, the UK for you. Peter?

I said Monaco because it's full of lots of millionaires

and it's a tax haven.

So they don't have to pay any taxes.

All right, Monaco or the UK.

Remember, before the show, one of them answered this correctly,

one answered incorrectly.

Contestants, please lock in your answers.

So, Mike and Colm have gone with the UK.

Christine, you've chosen Monaco.

Let's see who's right.

Monaco, it is.

-You weren't far off though, Cleve. Because the UK came second.

-Oh!

There you are.

I haven't met any musicians from Monaco yet, that's the problem.

Because they're too rich to play music, that's what it is.

Anyway, good choices from both of you and well done, Peter.

And that means £200, Christine, is added to your prize fund.

For our next question, we hear answers from Anisha and Tristan.

Here's the question...

-Anisha?

-OK, so my answer is Wayne Rooney.

And the reason is that him and his partner always

seem to be in Barbados and that's a really expensive holiday

so he's obviously getting paid quite a bit of money.

And that makes him the highest-paid sportsman, in your view.

-Exactly.

-OK, Tristan.

So, I went for Floyd Mayweather purely because he's won

a lot of fights and you see pictures of him everywhere

just flaunting money.

So, Floyd Mayweather was my answer.

Floyd Mayweather or Wayne Rooney.

Those are your choices. Please lock in yours.

You've all gone with Floyd Mayweather.

So, it's a unanimous verdict from the judges in this particular bout

but are you right?

You are indeed, Floyd Mayweather, it is.

Estimated to have taken home

300 million in 2015.

-Insane.

-By comparison, Wayne Rooney took home 26 million.

-Still enough for a couple of holidays in Barbados.

-Exactly.

Way, way behind. OK. Well done, Tristan.

And that means £200 goes to each of you.

Next up, Think Tankers Jackie and Arminel.

Here's the question...

-Jackie?

-I'm fairly confident about this.

Em, people are in two camps, aren't they?

They're either cat people or dog people.

I'm a dog person and I've noticed an increasing amount of dogs

out and about and I think it's dogs. Definitely.

OK, you're saying the dogs are the most commonly-owned pet in the UK.

-Arminel?

-I'm representing cat people. So...

I believe that it's cats.

Admittedly, you see more dogs out and about but that's

because they're taken on walks.

I myself have four cats and so I'm contributing rather more

to the cat population than Jackie is to the dog population.

Plus, my...

Two of my cats have had litters of kittens,

which I have then disseminated throughout London.

So I think it's the cat.

Cats or dogs? It's a pretty simple choice, contestants.

Please lock in what you think it is.

Two cats and a dog.

Cats from Mike and Christine, Colm is in the dog corner,

or the dog house, perhaps we should say.

Who's right?

-It is the dog.

-Ooh!

-Well done, Jackie!

Who would have thought Arminel was a cat woman?

When younger, I might have looked more like Catwoman.

9 million dogs, 7.9 million cats.

-More or less. Well done, Jackie.

-Thank you.

And well done, Colm. £200 is added to your prize fund.

Next up, it's Max and Abi.

And here we go...

-Max?

-Bill, I've got two words for you. Justin Bieber.

I am a die-hard Belieber. Christine, I'm sure you are too.

And I think he had a stormer of a year last year.

Banger after banger he's swung out into the charts.

I mean, there was Where Are You Now,

Sorry, Love Yourself.

I could go on but I won't and each one was fantastic and I'm sure

he had a great stint at the top of the charts throughout last year.

-Abi?

-So, I went with Sam Smith because I think...

I'm sure he won a Brit Award and as a result,

I think he had so many songs.

He had Stay With Me, he had The Writing's On The Wall which was

for James Bond which also went to number one

and oh, what was the last one?

# I know I'm not the only one! #

-That one.

-OK.

I can't sing but that was my impression.

And that puts him more in the charts at number one than, er...

-I think so, possibly.

-OK.

So, it's either Sam Smith or Justin Bieber.

Contestants, please lock in your choice.

Mike and Christine going with Sam Smith.

Colm out on his own with Justin Bieber. Let's have a look.

-Ah!

-Justin Bieber, it is.

Yeah. Max, would you "Beliebe" it that you know so much about pop?

Oh, Bill. I think you and I, we share our passion, don't we,

for the Beliebers?

Er, yes. SHE LAUGHS

And he did indeed have UK number-one singles with Love Yourself,

Sorry and What Do You Mean?

The sort of things I say to myself every day.

-OK, well done, Max.

-Thank you.

And that means again, Colm,

you're out on your own winning £200 for your prize fund.

Now for our final question in this round,

we'll hear answers from Peter and Arminel.

And here it is.

Interesting question, Peter.

I think it's got to be House Of Cards, because lots of people

sort of talk about it but they don't want to admit to liking politics.

OK. House Of Cards. Arminel?

Well, I'm going for a cult programme which people will be

lying about because they want to look cool.

I watch it, I'm cool.

It's Breaking Bad, of course.

And being about a chemistry teacher, I obviously watch it and I think

people will be lying about that and I was very, very delighted

when a colleague of mine overheard some of my students

discussing which of the teachers was most likely to break bad.

-OK.

-Me! Cool.

So, people lie about it because they want to join me and be cool.

-OK.

-Cool people.

Breaking Bad or House Of Cards?

Contestants, lock in your choices, please.

Mike and Christine going for Breaking Bad,

Colm out on his own again on House Of Cards.

Let's see which way it's going to go.

Breaking Bad, it is indeed.

Yes.

Amazingly successful series starring Bryan Cranston

as the chemistry teacher Walter White.

-And I hope none of your students have copied the...

-Or even me!

The chemical methods used in that series, or you, actually.

And I haven't even taught them how to do it, exactly.

-Well, I should hope not.

-No, of course not.

-Arminel, well done.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

And that means that £200 is added to Mike and Christine's prize funds.

So, that's the end of round three. Let's take a look at your totals.

Christine and Colm have £1,200, Mike has just £1,000.

So we have to say goodbye to you, Mike, I'm afraid.

I came in the rain, I'll go home in the rain, Bill, so it's fine.

Well, you played very well and you've been very sporting about it.

Thanks very much for joining us.

Thank you very much, Bill. All the best.

Well done, Christine and Colm. You two will now compete

against each other to take home the money that you've earned so far

in our final.

So, Christine.

If you win, have you thought what you'll do with the prize fund?

Yes, I have.

I'm going to spend some of it on my charity work that I do in Kenya.

And some of it getting to Kenya, so that I can carry on my work.

So, what do you do there?

Well, I've been working with children,

special educational needs children,

in now three primary schools in Kenya.

And it's about, I run a thing called the Lunch Club,

-which is about funding lunches for them.

-OK. Colm?

I think I would like to,

myself and my partner have talked about going to Costa Rica.

We've never been there before

and it's seemingly quite a beautiful country.

It is a very beautiful country indeed. OK.

Well, good luck to you both. Our final is a general knowledge battle.

I'm going to ask you five questions each.

Whoever gives the most correct answers will take home

the money that they've built up so far.

Fortunately for you, Think Tank is still on hand to help you out.

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

Each member, though, can only be picked once.

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

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

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

Christine, we'll start with you and here's your first question.

-Think you know that answer?

-Yes, I do.

-All right.

Just before you commit yourself,

you might want to get some advice from one of this lot.

-Who do you want to go with?

-I think I'm going to ask Max.

Ah, Max. You and Max are becoming fast friends, aren't you?

Well, happy to help you on this one, Christine.

I was actually educated in Sussex so if I get this wrong,

it's entirely your fault, I'm sure.

What's your idea, Christine, then?

-I think it's Hawaii.

-I think you're absolutely right

with that one, Christine. I know there was a lot of fuss made

when he was elected about him not really being an American citizen,

but he was definitely born in Hawaii.

-Hawaii is your answer?

-Yes, Hawaii is my answer.

All right, in which US state was Barack Obama born? You say Hawaii.

Let's see if you're right.

Hawaii, it is. Well done.

-Barack Obama born in 1961.

-Mm-hm.

OK, that gets you off the mark.

Colm, here's your first question.

Who do you want to help you out on this one?

-Em, I would suggest Arminel.

-Arminel.

Yeah, OK. Well, I think I might know.

-Do you know?

-No.

-No? OK!

Um, this is where, fortunately, I've got four sons,

they're now adults but I'm pretty sure that

I can visualise Horton hearing a Who and I think it's Dr Seuss.

-Does that sound OK to you?

-Sounds perfect for me, yes.

Dr Seuss.

Dr Seuss is your answer for the author of the children's book

Horton Hears A Who!

Let's see if you're right.

Dr Seuss, it is.

Horton is an elephant. And you knew that, didn't you?

Yes, of course I did! Of course.

But also, the ring of, you know, the rhyming and the alliteration.

-It's his style, isn't it?

-Yes, absolutely.

Good guidance there from Arminel.

And that brings you up to 1-1, Colm.

Christine, your second question.

-Who could help you here?

-Jackie, I think.

Hmm, should we go through it? Can you remember it?

Sing a song of six...

# Sing a song of sixpence A pocket full of rye

# Four and twenty blackbirds... #

Did something.

-Yes.

-And then pecked off your nose?

-Yes, blackbirds.

-Blackbirds?

-Yeah.

-It's a blackbird?

-Yes.

-OK.

HE REPEATS THE QUESTION

You're saying blackbird. Well, let's find out.

And you're right, blackbird, it is.

And your rhyming was exactly accurate.

Not entirely sure about the tune but the rhyme was good.

So, 2-1 to you, Christine.

Colm, your chance to equalise with your second question.

I think Cleve will be the man to go to here.

Truth is it will be actually a guess rather than actual knowledge.

-Is there anything that comes to mind for you?

-I'm struggling with it.

Erm...

-I think with Red, I was thinking Mick Hucknall.

-That was the only...

I was trying to think around that period of time and '89,

you know, what albums are around then? Erm...

I don't know why 1989, I'm trying to think why was 1989 significant.

-But the Red part of it would make me think...

-Yeah.

-I don't know if there was any female singers with red hair?

-Florence.

-Might be a little early for her, possibly, I would think.

-Yeah.

I'm hazarding a guess, it does lie in your hands. I don't, you know...

I wish I could honestly tell you I could be certain

but I am not certain.

But if I was going to hazard a guess,

I would say Mick Hucknall and I don't know if there's anything else.

I say take your time to be right.

-It's your answer.

-Yes.

Em, I think it is going to be a guess

and we'll go for Mick Hucknall.

You'll go for Mick Hucknall.

Red and 1989, albums by which singer? You say Mick Hucknall.

Are you right?

It's Taylor Swift. OTHERS SIGH

-My gosh.

-1989 was the year of her birth.

So it wasn't the year that the album came out and Red,

Simply Red thing with Mick Hucknall might lead you down that path.

So, no score for you there. Christine, you're 2-1 up.

Here's your third question.

Who do you want to choose? Got four left.

-I think I'll go with Tristan.

-Tristan?

So, I've celebrated this when I've been living in the States.

Er, I think it's April.

Are you getting anything? You got any idea?

It's definitely, I think, that time of the year.

I was actually in Boston once when it was St Patrick's Day

and that was pretty exciting.

I think it was March.

-Yeah, I think it's about April, March.

-Yes.

-If you're feeling March, go for March.

-March.

-Let's go for March and let's hope.

-Fingers crossed.

St Patrick's Day takes place in which month of the year?

You've gone for March. Let's see if you're right.

March, it is. Well done.

March 17th, much bigger event in the United States, actually,

than it is over here.

As you say, in Boston and also in the middle of Chicago,

-they dye the waterway green.

-Yes.

-Don't they?

OK, well done to you.

3-1 is the score. You can still make it up, Colm.

Here's your next question.

-Anisha, Peter and Abi.

-I would... I'll go for Peter.

-Peter may know.

-I haven't really a clue.

Nests, you think badgers maybe, but...

Oh!

Can you think of any little rodenty things that

sort of are a bit of an annoyance.

I'm trying to think of some common British mammals. Em, I'm thinking...

Stoat, otter.

Badger, fox. Otter. Em...

I keep thinking Dr Dre but he's not an animal.

THEY LAUGH

I think I'll go for...

otter.

Otter, which native British mammal has a nest called a drey?

You say it's the otter. Let's see if you're right.

Squirrel, it is, in fact. ALL GROAN

So, no score for you there, Colm.

So, Christine,

this is your fourth question.

If you get this right,

it will be impossible for Colm to catch up with you.

So, correct answer wins you today's game, OK? Here it is.

You have Abi and Anisha to help you.

-Abi.

-Right, I know this, I do know this.

-It's just on the tip of my tongue.

-Mm-hm.

One of the songs I think was called Lightning.

And they're all quite a different mix of characters.

And it's just on the tip of my tongue.

-Got any thoughts yourself, Christine?

-It's The Wanted.

Oh! There you go, then.

I was spending all that time...

She was just putting you through it just to see what you knew.

I just wondered if you...

You know, you were going to confirm what I think it is.

-It's definitely that.

-Yeah, it's The Wanted.

-The Wanted?

-Yes.

-You both think it's The Wanted.

HE REPEATS THE QUESTION

You say it's The Wanted. This to win the game. Are you right?

The Wanted is right.

Congratulations, Christine. You are our winner. Well done.

Well done.

Colm, well tried.

I'm afraid you're not taking anything home

but thanks very much for playing.

You do have one thing, though, to have as a souvenir.

A picture in your mind forever. Of this a lot.

OK, all right.

-Good luck, thanks very much.

-Thank you.

Christine, as our winner, you'll definitely be taking home

your prize fund of £1,200 and shortly you will 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 gave the most correct answers during the show and it was...

-..your friend, Max. OTHERS:

-Ah!

Couldn't have done it without you, Christine.

Well done, Max.

So, Christine, you now have one last chance to boost your prize fund

quite significantly as you face our Question Impossible.

So, this is the toughest question of the whole show

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

So, Christine, if you can achieve what none of them could

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

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

Here it is...

Now, while you have a think about the answer,

we're going to give you a bit of assistance

because we'll take a look at the wrong answers

given by the Think Tank earlier

and this should rule a few things out for you, OK?

Let's see what they said.

Rowan Atkinson, Tom Findley, Ron Atkinson, Mr Bean...

Lots of them said Rowan Atkinson, wasn't him. Who could it have been?

I think it's the guy that plays Baldrick.

He's also the presenter on Time Team.

So, it's somebody Robinson.

What's his first name?

SHE MUTTERS

-Tony Robinson.

-Tony Robinson?

-Yes.

OK, Tony Robinson is the answer you want to give.

-Yes, it's the answer I want to give.

-All right.

So, if this is right, you'll be taking home an extra £1,000.

HE REPEATS THE QUESTION

For £2,200, you are saying Tony Robinson.

Let's see if you're right.

-Tony Robinson, it is!

-Yay!

-Well done.

-Congratulations. Fantastic. Well done.

-Whoo!

-Jolly good.

So, you've just added another £1,000 to your prize fund. £2,200 in total.

What's that going to mean for your charity work in Kenya?

Well, a lot, a lot.

It will mean that we can sort of provide lunches now

-for the next year.

-Wow.

For three classes of special educational needs children.

And believe me, they need it.

How often do you go out to Kenya?

Well, I've been going out every year

but this means that I can make another trip in September, so...

Well, that's terrific, good.

Well, we're so glad to be able to help you along the way

and you thoroughly deserved it, Christine. Well done. Thank you.

-Thank you very much.

-Thanks for watching.

Join us next time when three more contestants will see

whether they can bank on the Think Tank.

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

-Bye!

And it's goodbye from me.

Bye-bye.
