Episode 5 Think Tank

Meet our Think Tank. They answered questions before the show.

Their answers are in -

but how helpful will they be to our three contestants?

Paying playing the game with us are...

Leanne, a stock control administrator from Barnsley.

Gina, a retired life coach from Ashbourne in Derbyshire.

And Jaspaul, a company director from Greenford in Middlesex.

This is Think Tank.

Welcome to the show. Welcome, as always,

to the collective genius that is our Think Tank...I think.

They live all over the country. We've got a pizza waiter, Peter.

Our chemistry teacher, Arminel.

English literature graduate Max.

Retired engineer Len.

Anisha, our office assistant.

Dance teacher Lucy.

Musician Cleve.

And Jackie, our retired local government manager.

And they've come together to help out our three contestants,

one of whom will head home with a cash prize. Welcome to you all.

Leanne, early days, of course.

Have you thought what you might do if you win?

Yep, I'm going to buy myself a big, fat sofa,

all reclining, all singing, all dancing.

Furniture's your thing?

Yeah, I've recently started upcycling furniture.

Upcycling - what's that?

Er, just buying battered old bits of furniture, painting it up,

distressing it so it looks battered again.

All right. Len, you're into DIY - have you ever done any upcycling?

I'm cheap labour in our family. I've done three bathrooms and an en suite for the kids this year.

Is that upcycled, downcycled, recycled?

A bit of everything, it is.

THEY CHUCKLE OK.

Gina, you did work as a life coach,

presumably telling people to broaden their horizons.

-Did you broaden your own?

-Oh, well, yes, I suppose I have.

I've spent an hour on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square

as part of Antony Gormley's One & Other event.

-What was that like?

-It was great, except that it was in the middle of the night.

I thought it was going to be lunchtime

-and then I realised it was a 24-hour clock.

-Ah.

And one o'clock was actually one o'clock in the morning.

-1am, you had to stand on the plinth?

-For an hour in the pouring rain.

-But think of the contribution you've made to art.

-Er, yes, possibly.

THEY CHUCKLE

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

What will you need some help on?

Anything scientific and anything to do with pop music.

-Lucy, you studied science.

-I did, yes.

I studied sports science at university.

It was a sort of broad range of things

and given my time again, I've got a penchant for particle physics,

so I'd quite like to have a go at that if I get the chance.

Oh, well, there you go. So plenty of help for you there.

And Jaspaul, your company deals in fashion.

That's right. We do fashion jewellery.

Have a look at our eight fabulous models here.

Any tips you could give them?

-Well, I think Jackie could do with some nice statement earrings.

-Yes.

Can I tell you, Jaspaul, I only do diamond.

THEY CHUCKLE

You might be interested to know Arminel has knitted her own outfit. She makes a lot of her own clothes.

You can come to me for more, you know.

Put a few accessories on there and she'll be the very thing.

So, welcome to the programme, all of you.

Over three rounds, then, our contestants will try to tap into

the knowledge of the Think Tank to build up as much money as possible.

The two highest scorers progress to the final.

Ultimately, though, just one will walk away with a 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.

The correct answer's always going to be in there somewhere,

but there's any number of wrong answers also in the mix.

Pick out the right one and £200 will be added to your prize fund, OK?

You get two questions each. Leanne, you're up first, so here you go.

You don't have to answer just yet.

Have a look at what the Think Tank came up with. Peter?

Athletics.

Cycling.

Cycling.

Rowing.

Gymnastics.

Cycling.

Athletics.

Rowing.

So a fair spread of sports to choose from.

Leanne, anything springing out at you?

I did watch it, a lot of it, and I know they did particularly well

in cycling and rowing, so I'm a bit torn between those two.

But I think cycling.

-Cycling?

-I think so, yes.

Great Britain won a record eight gold medals in which sport?

Leanne, you're saying cycling. Let's see if you're right.

You are indeed. Cycling it is.

The gold medallists included Bradley Wiggins, Chris Hoy

and Victoria Pendleton. Arminel, you got that one right.

You do a lot of cycling, don't you?

I do and, actually, you know, in the Venn diagram of knowledge, I was

a Games Maker at the 2012 Olympics,

so I was obviously interested in the Olympics.

I like cycling. So you know, they meshed.

Well done. They did indeed. Max, do you ever get out on two wheels?

No, but I did actually watch the Olympic cycle race that went

round Box Hill in Surrey, which was great fun.

We watched the breakaway go past and the peloton go past

and then Kazakhstan all by themselves, bringing up the rear.

-But we all cheered them on. It was very good fun.

-Good day out. OK.

£200 gets added to your prize fund.

And we move on to Gina and your first question.

Have a think about that while the Think Tank tell us

what they thought. Peter?

Eldorado.

Buenos Aires.

Buenos Aires.

Madrid.

Cancun.

Buenos Aires.

Buenos Aires.

Madrid.

So half of the Think Tank going with Buenos Aires, Gina.

Doesn't necessarily mean that they're right.

No, my Spanish isn't that good but I think,

partly because the Think Tank have come up with that

more than anything else,

and it sounds as though that would mean "good winds"

so I'll go with Buenos Aires.

Which city takes its name from the Spanish words meaning "good winds"?

Gina's saying Buenos Aires. Let's see if she's right.

She is indeed. Buenos Aires is the answer.

It's the capital of Argentina, of course.

Peter, I'm intrigued to know which country Eldorado is the capital of.

I don't know, but I remember there was a TV soap called Eldorado.

-That's what I went for.

-OK. All right.

£200 to Gina and we move on to Jaspaul. Here's your first question.

Let's see what the Think Tank had to say about that. Peter?

Eddie Murphy.

Alec Guinness.

Jim Broadbent.

Alec Guinness.

Eddie Murphy.

Eddie Murphy.

Peter Sellers.

Jerry Lewis.

Three of the Think Tank going with Eddie Murphy,

a couple with Alec Guinness,

and then several other actors, as well.

Movies is not one of my strong subjects,

so do you know what? On this one, I'm going to go with

what the Think Tank has said and go with Eddie Murphy.

Which actor played eight different members of one family

in the classic film comedy Kind Hearts And Coronets?

Jaspaul, you're saying it's Eddie Murphy. Let's see if you're right.

It was Alec Guinness, in fact. And they're nearly all bumped off,

one by one, in the film,

by Dennis Price, the villain. A very funny film.

No money for you there, Jaspaul, and we come back to Leanne.

Here's your second question.

Let's have a look at the Think Tank's map. Peter?

Arizona.

Hawaii.

Hawaii.

Hawaii.

Texas.

Hawaii.

Hawaii.

Texas.

Well, a clear majority in the Think Tank going for Hawaii.

Obviously a very popular destination for them.

Doesn't mean it's right, though.

I did think Hawaii.

That was the first one that popped into my head, so...

I'm not sure, but cos it's what I thought and what they think,

-I will go for Hawaii.

-OK.

Which of the 50 US states is furthest south?

Leanne says Hawaii. Let's see if she and five Think Tankers are correct.

They are indeed. It is Hawaii.

-Any of you been to Hawaii?

-No.

-Just wish you could?

-Yes.

I used to watch Hawaii Five-O all the time.

It became the 50th US state in 1959 and, of course, was,

as you say, Cleve, the setting for

that marvellous detective series Hawaii Five-O.

£200 for you, Leanne. And, Gina, we come to your next question.

Here's what the Think Tank thought.

Pete Tong.

Fatboy Slim.

Calvin Harris.

Andy Lewis.

David Guetta.

David Guetta.

David Guetta.

Fatboy Slim.

So a fair range of choice for you, Gina.

I suspect this may not be your speciality.

No, it was the worst possible subject for me,

but I think as Cleve, who is the musician,

said David Guetta -

-never heard of him, but I'll go with David Guetta.

-OK.

Ready For The Weekend and 18 Months are albums by which music producer and DJ?

You're going with David Guetta. Let's see if you're right.

Calvin Harris, it was. His real name is Adam Wiles,

in fact, and he comes from Scotland.

-There you go.

-Max, good knowledge. Well done.

Nothing for you there, I'm afraid, Gina.

And, Jaspaul, here's your second question.

Have a think on that,

while we see what the Think Tank had to say about it.

Lincoln.

Leeds.

Leeds.

Southampton.

London.

York.

Leeds.

Bristol.

Again, a fair range to choose from there.

Yeah, and a difficult one.

I think I'm going to go with Leeds.

Going to go with Leeds.

The word "Loiners" refers to people from which British city?

You're saying Leeds. Let's see if you got the right place.

You have indeed. It is Leeds.

Cleve, you're from Leeds, of course.

Yes, well, I wasn't born there, but I have lived there

since I've been quite young and it's a word that you hear quite often.

I think it's something to do with the trade of material there, actually.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-All right. And Anisha...

-Mm-hm?

-London - I suppose you might say, "I'm a L-L-Loiner."

Yeah, and also they both begin with L-O.

And I thought, "Wow, that's it."

THEY CHUCKLE

OK. Except, wow, it wasn't it. Never mind. It was a good try. Good try.

£200 to Jaspaul, then, and that brings us to the end of that round.

Gina and Jaspaul are tied on £200.

In the lead, though, with £400, is Leanne.

Everything still to play for in the next round.

Every member of the Think Tank is holding two questions,

which they answered correctly before the show.

So you're going to take it in turns to pick someone from the Think Tank

whose knowledge you think you can match. And for every correct answer,

another £200 will be added to your prize fund.

Once a Think Tanker has asked both of their questions,

they can't be picked again. Leanne, you get to go first.

The whole bunch to choose from, so who do you want to go with?

I think, because of the dicky bow, I will go for Max.

All right, Leanne.

Well, my question is a bit of schoolboy Latin for you.

Hopefully you can pick it up.

What is the meaning of the Latin word "ego"?

I know what an ego is, but I wouldn't know how to describe it

in English terms. Er...

-Self?

-Is that your answer for the meaning of the Latin word "ego"?

Er, self, yeah.

Self? OK. Max, is that correct?

Well, you're on the right Freudian lines,

but the answer we have here is "I".

"I" is correct, strictly speaking.

The Latin word "ego" means "I".

But there is also an understanding that the technical term for "ego"

-is "self". So you know what? We're going to let you have it.

-Yay!

OK. £200 for you, Leanne. And, Gina, you're up next.

-Everybody still available.

-I'll have Arminel, please.

-Our chemistry teacher, Arminel.

-Ah, OK.

This is about a TV comedy, which I hope you enjoy watching.

It refers to a word which I actually use frequently in my teaching,

because when I set trick questions, I say to the kids,

"That's a bazinga," then the kids will say,

"Is it a bazinga, miss? Is it a bazinga?"

And so my question is...

In which TV comedy does a character named Sheldon often say the word "bazinga!"?

-Have you heard this word before?

-No.

Don't know it.

Never heard of Sheldon or "bazinga", I'm afraid. So I'll have to guess.

Let's say, er, Red Dwarf.

Red Dwarf. Is it Red Dwarf, Arminel?

No. I'm so sorry but it's The Big Bang Theory.

Because that's about a bunch of physicists

-and I'm a chemist - I enjoy it.

-What does "bazinga" mean?

Oh, it's just that Sheldon, whenever he plays a joke on his friends,

which is usually not funny,

he then laughs about it, so whenever I set these trick questions,

I find them funny and, of course, the kids don't.

THEY CHUCKLE

I'm glad you get enjoyment out of your teaching!

Well, anyway, it's a way of trying to alert them to trick questions.

Arminel, thank you. No money for you there, I'm afraid, Gina.

Moving onto Jaspaul, then. Who would you like to go with?

-Cleve.

-Cleve.

-Right. Well...

-Make it a good one!

-I'll try my best for you.

I've done a few jobs in my time, including being a vicar

and being a musician, as I am now.

One of my former jobs was actually as a postman. The question is...

What is the name of the world's first adhesive postage stamp,

first used in May 1840?

Penny...

One penny...

Something with a penny. It's on the tip of my tongue.

I could just lick it and put it on the stamp!

THEY CHUCKLE

-Penny.

-Penny? Is that what you're going to go with?

-Yes.

I'm afraid you're going to kick yourself, probably. Isn't he?

You really are, cos you were so close. It's actually Penny Black.

-Penny Black.

-Yeah, the Black was in my mind.

Features the famous profile of Queen Victoria.

And unused Penny Blacks can get quite a lot of money at auction.

-Yes, definitely.

-OK.

So no money for you there, I'm afraid, and back to Leanne.

Who would you like to go with?

I'm going to go for, er, Len, cos he looks a little sleepy.

THEY CHUCKLE

-Wakey-wakey, Len!

-It'll be Dopey from The Seven Dwarfs next!

Anyway, when I seen this question, I thought,

"Hmm, yes, I admire this man because he is one of the world's great explorers - Charles Darwin."

And the question is...

BILL READS QUESTION

The only ship that I can think of...

that's got a dog's name is...

Labrador.

-That's what you want to go with?

-Labrador, yeah.

Labrador - is that the answer or is she barking up the wrong tree?

I'm afraid she's barking up the wrong tree.

It's the Beagle.

It's the Beagle.

It was the ship on which Charles Darwin sailed to the Galapagos

in the 1830s. So nothing for you there, Leanne, I'm afraid.

-And Gina, we come to you and you can still choose any of the eight.

-Ooh!

I think I'll have Jackie, please.

Well, I knew the answer to this question

because this singing artist - I really like her.

And it's about Adele.

And I always like the fact that her albums were named after

how old she was when she did them - 19, 25.

If I did one, Jackie - 58

doesn't have the same sort of ring to it

but I'm probably never going to bring one out,

so that's probably not a problem.

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

I haven't a clue.

Perhaps she was 18. 18?

It's wrong.

-It's Chasing Pavements.

-Oh, I have heard of that.

I've often wondered how you chase a pavement,

but anyway that's the answer - Chasing Pavements.

Chasing Pavements was a number-two hit in 2008.

Nothing for you there, I'm afraid.

-OK, Jaspaul, you can still choose anybody you like.

-I'll go with Lucy.

Well, Jaspaul, as I look at you, you look like a man that can move.

You look like a man who's got rhythm.

I run a dance school, so I knew the answer to this

because I'm all about dance and I'm hoping you will, too.

Which dance, which became popular in the 1920s,

is named after a city in South Carolina?

-Charleston?

-Very quickly, the Charleston - is he right?

With a great demo. Yes, that's right. Well done.

-Jaspaul, do you dance?

-Hmm... I've got a few moves.

We see that! Well done. £200 for you.

OK, Leanne, we come back to you for your third question of this round.

You can still choose any one of the eight.

-Peter.

-Hi.

I've got a cricket question, but it should be quite an easy one,

so I'm hoping you're going to get it.

Which county cricket team play home matches in Birmingham?

Er, I don't do sport. I don't do cricket.

Do cricket teams even have names,

other than the town that they're from?

County cricket team. Which county cricket team play home matches

-in Birmingham?

-County...

What county is Birmingham in?

The Midlands.

-That's my answer.

-Midlands is your answer. Is it the Midlands?

-I'm afraid it's Warwickshire.

-Warwickshire. Yes.

They play at Edgbaston.

Birmingham is in the Midlands, but the Midlands isn't a county -

-Warwickshire is.

-Right.

-So nothing for you there, I'm afraid, Leanne.

Gina, and you still can choose anybody you like.

Well, on the basis that I knew the answer that Leanne had from Len,

I'm going to go with Len's other question.

I know this answer because I've been to this city.

BILL READS QUESTION

Hmm... Not been there.

Er, Queens?

Queens is what you're going for? Is it Queens?

-No, it's Manhattan.

-Manhattan.

-I was going to say Manhattan.

-You were going to say Manhattan?

-And then you went with Queens.

-I don't know why.

Answered too quickly, probably, Gina. I'm sorry. No money for you there, I'm afraid.

-Jaspaul, you can choose anybody apart from Len.

-Anisha.

Our office assistant, Anisha.

-Hi!

-Hi!

-OK.

So the reason why I knew the answer to this question is

because in my job, I have to get a lot of teas and coffees for clients,

so I'm constantly interacting with these kind of people.

So, my question is...

Which word, derived from the Italian for "bartender",

is given to somebody who makes coffee for a living?

I will go with...

the term that is quite popular at the moment

with a lot of coffee houses. It could be right, could be wrong.

-But let's go with barista.

-Barista?

Oh, you're so right. Well done!

£200 for you, Jaspaul. So that's the end of the round.

Let's have a look at how your prize funds have changed.

Gina is on £200, and Leanne and Jaspaul are tied on £600.

So, one of you will shortly have to leave the game, but there is one

last chance to take the lead and, Gina, you can still catch up.

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

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

came up with before the show and why they believe they're correct.

One of them only is going to be right.

If you side with the correct person,

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

Just five questions remain before we do have to say goodbye to

one of you, so do choose your answers carefully.

Firstly, we're going to hear answers from Max and Arminel.

And here's the first question.

-Max?

-Well, Bill,

it simply had to be Greece.

I mean, it's the cradle of Western civilisation

and there's incredible artefacts scattered like pearls

across the Aegean Sea.

You've got all these amazing civilisations -

the Athenians, the Spartans.

I'm sure that Unesco would make sure that all of those were

well protected for future generations.

-Marvellous lesson in ancient history there. Arminel?

-I thought Italy.

We also go back to ancient history for that, and you have to

remember that the Greeks actually were great colonists,

so quite a lot of the ancient Greek sites are not in Greece.

Italy has got some old ancient Greek buildings,

as well as the Roman ones, then we go through to the Middle Ages,

so it has great cities like Florence,

and it also has some pretty great scenery

and so Unesco Heritage sites are sometimes scenery.

So, two very learned answers, I may say.

Only one of them's going to be right.

The choice is between Italy and Greece.

Contestants, please lock in your answers.

Leanne and Gina

have gone with Greece.

Jaspaul, you plumped for Italy.

Who's right?

-Italy is the correct answer.

-It's a longer continuous spread.

-Very true.

-Those pesky Etruscans, always!

-Italy has 51 World Heritage sites.

-Greece has 17. Well done, Arminel.

-Thank you very much.

-OK, thank you.

Jaspaul, you get £200 for your prize fund.

And next, we're going to hear answers from Cleve and Jackie.

Here's the question...

-Cleve?

-Unfortunately,

one of the jobs I haven't had is as an astronaut for Nasa, but I...

-Still time!

-But I did work out...

I did have a chain of thought.

I do believe Jupiter,

which I believe it is, has rings going around it.

I actually looked at some of the others

but I really genuinely thought that Jupiter was the biggest of them.

I've seen pictures on magazines and stuff like that.

-It always looked like Jupiter to me. So I plumped for Jupiter.

-Jupiter.

OK. Jackie?

I think that it's Mars, because we always talk about Mars

as being THE planet, the one that we want to get to.

I think all the others are small in comparison.

-I definitely think it's Mars.

-Mars or Jupiter -

those are the choices.

They both believe they have the right answer,

but only one is correct.

Contestants, please lock in your answers.

Leanne and Jaspaul

have gone with Jupiter.

Gina's on her own with Mars

in the middle. Who's right?

Jupiter it is.

-A total guess?

-A total guess.

-You remembered something from what you read.

-Oh, yeah.

Sometimes when you look at...

You know, you see things of the planets and you look at the size

and I just remember somehow Jupiter just being outstanding.

Fifth planet from the sun. And called a gas giant.

-That's what it is - gas makes it fat.

-Top science from you two.

Thank you very much.

So that means, Leanne and Jaspaul,

you both add £200 to your prize fund

and we go to our next Think Tankers, who are Anisha and Len.

Here's the next question.

-Anisha?

-OK, so I went for Barack Obama.

Reason being is because I think Twitter is more of

a younger person's thing to do, so, therefore, I thought

of all these different political leaders that younger people

might want to follow, like David Cameron and all that

kind of stuff, and I thought, probably Barack Obama because he's

got fans like Beyonce and Jay-Z and all that kind of stuff,

so I thought a lot of people would want to follow him

and hear what he has to say.

-So that's what I went for.

-OK. Len?

-I think it's the Queen.

-OK.

-Somewhere in the back of my...

I've read somewhere in the paper, or read somewhere, that she

set up a Twitter account and the thing had just exploded.

-My answer is the Queen.

-OK. Two good choices.

The Queen or Barack Obama - you have to pick one of them, contestants.

Please lock it in.

All three of you

have gone with the Queen.

Let's see if you're right.

No, it's Barack Obama.

-Sss! Yes!

-And he now has more than 60 million followers. Are you one?

-No, I don't follow him, but I will now.

-Good for you.

-And I'm following the Queen!

-All right. Well done, Anisha.

-Thank you.

And none of you get to add to your prize fund there.

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

And this is your question...

-Peter?

-I think it's Brazil, cos it looks really massive on the map

and it's quite big.

-OK. Lucy?

-OK, going with that logic, I think it's Argentina,

-cos it looks really long on a map and it's really massive.

-All right!

OK.

Lucy is going with Argentina, Peter says Brazil.

Please lock in your answers, contestants.

All three of you

have gone with Brazil.

Are you right?

You are indeed. Brazil it is.

Well done.

It looks really massive and it is, in fact - 3.3 million square miles.

-That's big!

-That is big, Peter, yeah. Well done. Thanks very much.

£200 to you all, then.

For our final question in this round,

we'll hear answers from Jackie and Max.

Here's the question.

-Jackie?

-It's Elvis Presley. He's still going strong.

He's just still a hunk of burning love.

And he's still going strong,

cos people are still buying his records. Graceland's there.

People still visit it, even though it's all those years since he died.

-His music's playing on different things. Elvis Presley.

-OK. Max?

Well, I went for another musical legend, Michael Jackson.

His cultural impact is impossible to ignore.

-I know you moonwalk on a regular basis, Bill.

-Absolutely.

You've got Off The Wall, Thriller and, of course,

all his work that he did with The Jackson 5, as well.

I think that music's used in adverts and films all the time, so I'm

sure it's Michael Jackson who made a fortune, even though he's dead.

Michael Jackson or Elvis Presley? Those are the choices.

Contestants, please lock in your answers.

Leanne and Jaspaul

have gone with Michael Jackson.

Gina's on her own in the middle

with Elvis Presley.

Let's see who's right.

-It's Michael Jackson.

-Very good.

Michael Jackson's estate had revenues of more than

100 million in 2015.

-Oof!

-So quite extraordinary.

Well done, you two, particularly you, Max. Thank you.

And that means £200 for Leanne and Jaspaul.

That's the end of round three, then, so let's take a look at your totals.

In the lead is Jaspaul with £1,400, followed by Leanne with £1,200.

Trailing behind with £400 is Gina,

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

-Those pop questions didn't really help you very much, did they?

-No!

-Thanks very much for playing, anyway.

-Thank you very much.

Well done, Jaspaul and Leanne.

You two will now compete to take home the money that you've earned so far in our final.

So, Leanne, if you win, you'll be reclining on a beautiful,

-large piece of furniture - is that right?

-Yes.

-A lovely settee?

-Yes.

Super. OK. Do you want anything to go with the sofa at all?

-A holiday would be nice.

-OK.

And then I can recover from my holiday sitting on my new settee.

Indeed. All right. Jaspaul, what do you want to do with the winnings?

Take my family for a Caribbean cruise

and just watch the sunset while sitting on the deck of the ship

as it just cruises around the Caribbean, pina colada in hand.

Sounds great. OK. 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 then take home the money they've built up so far.

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

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

Remember, though, 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. OK?

Now, Jaspaul, you built up the most money in the main game, so the final starts with you.

And here's your first question.

Who would you like to help you with that? Got any thoughts about it?

-Max.

-Max.

Well, yes, it's one you've got to say quite carefully, I think,

but shiitake, I believe, from what I've seen in the supermarket,

is a kind of mushroom. I don't know if you've encountered it at all.

I haven't, but you know what? I had an inkling it might be a mushroom.

Ah!

I think I'm going to go with you.

Well you look like a FUNGI to be with.

GROANING

Sorry - mandatory.

We'll go with mushroom.

BILL READS QUESTION

Jaspaul is saying it's a mushroom.

Let's see if he's right.

He is indeed, well done. Mushroom's the answer.

So, you're off the mark, and Leanne, here's your first question.

Any good at geography?

Not particularly, but I have been to Ayia Napa.

Oh, well. OK, you'll be well in, but you might want to consult with

one of the Think Tank just to confirm your answer.

Who do you want to go with?

I'll go with the most party, Ayia Napa-looking girl,

and that would be Lucy.

-Oh, wow!

-LAUGHTER

That's a compliment, thank you.

Well, I know, "Is it, is it wicked?"

-What are you thinking?

-It's Cyprus.

Yeah. I agree.

Cyprus? OK.

The answer, is it's Cyprus? Is she right?

-She is indeed.

-Well done.

There are over 50 blue-flag beaches in Ayia Napa.

-Have you been to many of them?

-I've been to a couple.

-OK. Was it fun?

-Yeah.

-That's good.

One-all, then. Jaspaul, here is your second question.

Music question for you.

Who would you like to choose to help you with this?

I'll go with Cleve.

-Cleve.

-You're a music man, Cleve.

Help me with this one.

-LAUGHTER

-Don't let me down, buddy!

-No pressure on me at all!

-No pressure - don't let me down!

It is a guess, that's the truth, I'm telling you now.

So, really, I'm going to say to you...

I'm going to tell you what I think.

What I think is... I think it's Sam Smith.

I think Sam Smith is the answer. So I'm going to go with Sam Smith.

We'll...we'll go with that.

BILL READS QUESTION

Jaspaul, you're saying it's Sam Smith.

Let's see if you're right.

Sam Smith is the right answer!

On the album were the singles Stay With Me, Money On My Mind

and I'm Not The Only One.

So, 2-1 to Jaspaul.

Your chance to catch up, Leanne, with this question.

I don't...know the answer, off the top of my head.

Who might pull you in the right direction on this one?

Arminel knows Big Bang Theory.

SHE LAUGHS

Yeah, I think I'll go with Arminel.

I think I can help, not because I've watched this,

but because it's a Russian name.

I know that War And Peace is being televised,

so...would you agree with that?

I would, yes. I've also seen that War And Peace is a...

That's a Russian name, so...

Yeah, I'll go with that, sounds good.

-War And Peace?

-War And Peace.

BILL READS QUESTION

Leanne says it's War And Peace. Is she right?

She is, indeed. War And Peace is the answer.

And of course, it's a lavish six-part production

of the Tolstoy novel.

That brings you up to two-all level pegging,

and Jaspaul's third question - here you go.

Move your shoulder round, see if it gives you some inspiration.

Who do you think could help you, here?

We've had four answers so far. You've got four more to choose from.

I'll go with Len.

-Len.

-Wish you hadn't picked me for this one.

I think it's something like, uh...

..scapula, something...

No. I'm really struggling with this one.

-I just can't drag it up. It's there, but I can't drag it up at all.

-OK.

I'll just take a wild guess and...

-Is it...? It's not a clavicle bone?

-What's that?

-Clavicle.

I think it's something like...

I haven't got a clue, so Len, if you say clavicle,

we'll go wit that.

-Clavicle?

-We'll go with clavicle.

BILL READS QUESTION

Jaspaul says it's clavicle.

It's the scapula.

You were in the right direction,

weren't you, Len?

The clavicle, you weren't far away with.

It's the collarbone.

-Oh, right.

-Close, but not close enough.

Leanne, your third question.

It's two-all, you could take the lead if you get this one right.

Here's the question.

Peter, Anisha or Jackie can help you.

I think I'll go with, um...Jackie.

Oh, dear!

LAUGHTER

I'm thinking it's, like, up north.

-Yeah.

-East?

-I just can't think of a state.

-I can't.

Is it Massachusetts?

Do you know, Leanne, I don't know.

I'll go with Massachusetts.

-Massachusetts.

-Yeah.

BILL READS QUESTION

Leanne is saying it's Massachusetts. How close is she?

It's Illinois, is the answer.

The metropolitan area of Chicago

has a population of almost ten million.

So, no score for you there.

You are still tied on 2-2,

and we come to your fourth question, Jaspaul.

You have just Anisha or Peter

to help you, here.

Anisha.

SHE LAUGHS

OK - I think it's a dude.

It is a guy. I think the guy from Peep Show...

They all sit so close together, so they're all merging into one.

The guy from Peep Show is on it, but I don't know if he's the...

-Do you watch Peep Show?

-No.

LAUGHTER

So much pressure, guys!

No pressure, take your time.

OK, I don't think it's the Peep Show guy.

I think he's sitting on the side.

-Yeah.

-I definitely know it's not Dara O Briain.

I honestly think it might be Rob Brydon, but I don't know.

-Rob Brydon?

-Yeah, I think that's how you pronounce his name.

We'll go with Rob Brydon.

OK, go for it!

-We'll go for it.

-What is your answer?

-Rob Brydon.

-You're going with Rob Brydon.

Jaspaul is saying it's Rob Brydon. Is it?

It is indeed.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yeah!

-Took your time.

-The pressure!

You made a drama series out of that answer, but there you are.

-We got there in the end.

-All right, OK.

Score is 3-2.

Leanne, this is your fourth question.

Time still to equalise. Here we go.

And there is only Peter to ask.

I only know that Roxanne was the guy with the long nose, wasn't it?

-Yeah, I've seen that film.

-What French play...?

All I can say is Pinocchio,

but that's just taking the mick out of him.

I absolutely have not got a clue.

A French love story.

I just can't even think of anything.

-We know it's the guy with the big nose, though.

-Yeah.

-And he's a fireman.

-I can't even bring a word to mind.

Hunchback of Notre Dame? That's French.

-Was it a play, though?

-It's famous, I suppose.

And he was ugly and she fell in love with him, didn't she?

-And then she ran to him.

-She did.

And he worked in a high tower.

It's a good theory. Let's go with that.

Cos I've got nothing else to go on.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

BILL READS QUESTION

Leanne, you say it's The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Let's see if you're right.

No - it's Cyrano de Bergerac, was the play.

And in the film, he played a character called CD Bales

and did have a very long nose.

So Hunchback of Notre Dame, I'm afraid, it wasn't.

Jaspaul, we come back to you.

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

There are no Think Tankers left to help you out,

so you are on your own, OK? Here's the question.

-Is it a programme you've watched?

-My wife knows.

She's been watching this.

-Can I call her?

-I'm afraid not!

I'm just going to take a wild guess on this one and say Anne.

Anne. OK.

BILL READS QUESTION

Jaspaul, you say Anne. This is to win today.

If you're correct, you will be our winner today.

Cora was the name you wanted, not Anne, I'm afraid.

It is still, though, 3-2 to you, Jaspaul.

So, Leanne, you still have to get this right to stay in the game.

If you're wrong, Jaspaul will be the winner, OK?

-No pressure.

-No pressure. Here's your fifth question.

You're on your own with this one.

Think Tank can't help you.

Don't actually know, but I'm thinking brinjal is similar

to a bhaji, which are mostly made from onions,

so I'll go with onion.

-Going to go with onion?

-Yeah.

Leanne, you say it's onion.

To stay in the game today, you have to be right.

Let's have a look.

Aubergine.

Jaspaul, you are today's winner. Well done.

APPLAUSE

Commiserations, Leanne. You tried very hard.

I'm afraid you're not taking anything home,

apart from the indelible memory

of having been with these guys for a little while.

-You've had a lovely time, I hope?

-I have, absolutely.

-OK.

-Well played. Thanks for being with us.

-Thank you.

Jaspaul, as our winner, you're definitely taking home

your prize of £1,400 and, shortly,

-you'll have the chance to add an extra £1,000...

-Whoa!

..to your winnings.

First, though, let's take a moment to congratulate

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

And it was...

..Max and Arminel!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Standing together, what a team they made.

Well done.

OK, Jaspaul, you now have one last chance

to boost your prize 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, Jaspaul, if you can achieve what none of them could

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

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

Before you give us your answer,

we're going to give you a bit of assistance,

because we're going to look at the wrong answers

the Think Tank gave earlier, cos none of them got it right, OK?

This will help you rule out a few names, you hope.

So, here are the wrong answers.

So, it's none of those.

-What do you think it might be?

-Um...

It's a tough question.

It is. It's... And in 1960.

Do you know, I... I think, if I was to go...

-Canada?

-Canada.

-Yeah, let's go with Canada.

Jaspaul, you say it's Canada.

This is to add another £1,000

to your prize fund already of £1,400.

You're saying it's Canada. Fingers crossed. Good luck.

Let's see if you're right.

-Sri Lanka.

-Oh!

-Yeah.

-The prime minister's was Sirimavo Bandaranaike.

-Mrs Bandaranaike, she was.

-Oh, right.

She was the widow of the previous Prime Minister, elected in 1960.

-Really tough question.

-That's, I mean, yeah...

Politics isn't one of my strongest subjects.

So, Jaspaul, you didn't conquer Question Impossible.

Still leaving with £1,400. So hope you're happy with that?

-Oh, yeah, totally.

-Still gets you on a cruise.

That'll get me and my family on a cruise, pina colada - maybe two.

LAUGHTER

Jaspaul, thanks very much for being with us.

Thank you for watching. Do join us next time,

when three more contestants will see whether they can bank on the Think Tank.

Until then, it's goodbye from them.

-ALL:

-Bye!

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