Episode 6 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 Malcolm, a primary school teacher from Loughborough,

Sheila, a head of finance from London,

and Roger, a retired record shop owner from West Yorkshire.

This is Think Tank.

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

They have varied interests, even some obsessions.

So, we've got a doctor who loves dogs,

a dance teacher who's mad about penguins,

a chemistry teacher who's an avid knitter,

and an English literature graduate with an encyclopaedic knowledge

of Thomas The Tank Engine.

So, it's all aboard the Think Tank Express.

TRAIN HORN SOUNDS

Oh, brilliant.

Also, this group of people includes our musician, Cleve,

retired engineer, Len,

pizza waiter, Peter,

and, our retired HR advisor, Diane.

They're here to help out our three contestants. Welcome to you all.

Malcolm, primary school teacher,

I'm so glad you're here, because honestly this lot are a bunch of kids sometimes.

How can we instil some discipline in them?

I don't know, I'll try the eyebrow approach.

LAUGHTER

Is that right?

I might just take that on.

OK, when you're not teaching what do you like to do?

I bought a bike recently because I've been eating a little too much.

All right, so you get out on the road, that's good.

-Strongest subject for you?

-It's probably going to be film, I think.

Who's good at film here amongst you today? Peter, of course.

I like to go to the Leeds International Film Festival,

-and then I try and cram 50 films in two weeks.

-Wow.

And Arminel, you like cycling, don't you?

I live in London and I will actually cycle for fun into central London.

I really, really love cycling.

There you go, so, common ground between you already.

Sheila, you're a head of finance for a software company?

Yes, that's right.

OK, so, away from the office do you do anything else,

sort of exercise-wise at all?

I try to, but I limit it because I have a bit of a wobbly knee.

I embarrassed myself dancing at a wedding once

and I ended up with two screws in my left knee.

IN UNISON: Oh!

Abi wanted to have a dancing career, didn't you?

I did, but I bust my shoulder

and I don't want to have surgery, because I'm too scared.

And she's a doctor.

LAUGHTER

She knows something we don't.

Peter, you've done a bit of break dancing haven't you?

Yes, I had a break dancing competition

in this pub in Stratford-upon-Avon, and this guy tried to steal my move.

He didn't do it right, so, he was doing the power slide

and when he did it he snapped his leg in half.

IN UNISON: Oh!

Oh, break dancing with the emphasis on the word "break."

All right, well, welcome to the programme, Sheila.

Roger, music is your world, retired music shop owner.

Actually, have you really retired?

You don't look like you have.

No, I like to say I've ground to a halt, a temporary halt.

Yeah, fantastic. Any particular songs you love?

-Oh, I like those old honky-tonk ones with the broken heart.

-Oh, yeah.

If a dog dies in the middle that's great.

LAUGHTER

Welcome to the programme.

It's lovely to have all three of you with us.

Over three rounds, then,

our contestants will try to tap into the Think Tank's knowledge

to build up as much money as possible.

The two highest scorers progress to the final.

Ultimately, just one will walk away with a cash prize.

So, let's play the first round.

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

and then every member of the Think Tank will reveal the answer

that they gave before the show.

The correct answer is always in there somewhere,

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

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

You get two questions each.

Malcolm, we'll start with you, so, here's your first question.

Just have a think about that for a second

while we see what the Think Tank thought.

Cleve?

Half of the Think Tank going with Simon Cowell,

doesn't necessarily mean that they're right.

Do you watch the X Factor much, Malcolm?

My girlfriend is going to kill me.

I often leave the room when we watch the X Factor.

LAUGHTER

-What, when you see who the judges are?

-Yeah.

LAUGHTER

I do know that Simon Cowell stopped doing it for a while.

He put his focus on the American X Factor,

so, I'm thinking it might be Louis Walsh.

OK, who's appeared as a judge on the most episodes

of the British version of the X Factor? You say it's Louis Walsh.

Let's see if you have the right answer.

You have indeed, Louis Walsh it is. Well done.

APPLAUSE

So, we add £200 to your prize fund. You're off the mark.

And, Sheila, we come to you. Here's your question.

Have a think about that

while we see what the Think Tank guessed at.

Remember, the correct answer is always in there somewhere. Cleve?

So, as you can see, our Think Tank have spent a long time in Russia.

LAUGHTER

Collectively, seven different answers there.

Lucy and Len combining on swimming pool.

So, what do you think?

When I heard the question, I thought it might be "you're welcome."

But, now I'm thinking it's "thank you,"

because I think it's a common phrase you say in conversation.

So, you're going to go with "thank you?"

Yes, I am.

OK, the English meaning of the Russian word "spasibo"

is "thank you," or is it not? Let's see.

It is indeed, thank you is the right answer.

APPLAUSE

Arminel, you got that one right.

You're a bit of a linguist, aren't you?

Yes, I am interested in languages and I did actually know that one.

I speak German because I'm half Austrian, Turkish,

and I learned French at school.

You're a teacher, you're a scientist, you're a cyclist,

you're a woman of so many parts, and you make your own clothes.

Yeah, I'm also quite old and so I've had a lot of time.

IN UNISON: No!

No, never, never, not at all.

So, £200 to Sheila, well done,

and, Roger, here's your first question.

Have a look at that and see what the Think Tank thought.

Cleve?

So, a lot of Heseltines in the mix there,

and one or two other interesting choices.

Roger, what do you think?

Well, I remember cartoons of one of these people

swinging through the jungle trees.

And the picture that comes to mind is Michael Heseltine.

-Michael Heseltine is what you want to go with...

-Yep.

..as the Conservative politician who was nicknamed Tarzan.

Let's see if you're right.

It is indeed. Michael Heseltine is the right answer.

APPLAUSE

Given the nickname because of his flowing locks

and his macho reputation.

Ann Widdecombe? I had no idea, Peter.

LAUGHTER

I think she's quite ferocious, so...

Yes, OK, all right.

And presumably, David Heseltine, Diane,

is Michael Heseltine's long-lost brother?

-Twin, it's his twin.

-LAUGHTER

-OK, that's your answer and you're sticking to it.

-Yeah.

LAUGHTER

Roger, well done, for going with the right answer, Michael Heseltine.

£200 to your fund.

OK, Malcolm, here's your second question.

Let's see what the Think Tank thought.

Remember, the correct answer is always there somewhere.

Well, three of the Think Tank going for Jonny Wilkinson.

I like rugby. Being from Leicester,

I support the Leicester Tigers.

So, Len, I'm inclined to think that Chris Robshaw

might be the correct answer amongst those answers.

LAUGHTER

Well, let's find out.

Who was captain of the England rugby union team at the 2015 World Cup?

-You're saying Chris Robshaw.

-I am.

Let's see if you're right.

Chris Robshaw is the right answer, well done.

APPLAUSE

Well done, Len.

So, Arminel, we know that football players like to just go by one name.

I've never heard of a rugby player doing it,

but maybe I've missed out on one.

LAUGHTER

-Jonathan.

-He's obviously collapsed in the middle of the match.

LAUGHTER

OK, all right, we'll move on, I think.

-£200 to you, Malcolm, well done.

-Thank you.

And, Sheila, your next question.

So, British geography coming up here.

Let's see if the Think Tank have found their way on this.

Well, a mix there. Two for Birmingham, three for Liverpool.

Got any ideas?

I'm inclined to go with Liverpool

because I've never been there,

and I've not heard of that area.

So...

..I'm going to go with Liverpool.

OK, you're saying Knotty Ash

is an area of the British city Liverpool.

-Yep.

-Let's see if you have the right mark on the map.

Liverpool it is, well done.

APPLAUSE

Knotty Ash, also the home,

and rather found fame as the home of Ken Dodd's fictional Diddymen.

That's where you may have heard it from.

So, Sheila, £200 goes to you, and, Roger, here's your second question.

Music, surely right up your street.

Let's see what the Think Tank guessed at.

So, it's the title of a UK hit single from August 2015.

Obviously your musical expertise may be slightly earlier, Roger.

Yeah, yeah.

Two Marvin Gayes and two Aretha Franklins,

I think I can discount everybody else.

Cleve is a musician, and he's going to know,

so, I'm going to follow Cleve with this one and say Marvin Gaye.

So, you're going to say Marvin Gaye was the soul singer

whose name was the title of a UK hit single in August 2015.

Let's see if you're right.

Marvin Gaye it is.

APPLAUSE

Yeah, it was a collaboration between Charlie Puth and Meghan Trainor.

Good judgment from you there, and £200 is added to your prize fund.

And that brings us to the end of the first round,

so, let's see how you're all getting on.

You are all tied on £400. Well done.

APPLAUSE

So, neck and neck. Who's going to take a lead in the next round?

Every member of the Think Tank is holding two questions

which they answered correctly before the show.

You're going to take 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.

Malcolm, you get to go first.

You have all this fine team to choose from.

Who do you want to go with?

Peter, with the film knowledge, I've got to go for you.

Peter, our pizza waiter.

I think you've chosen quite well.

It's one about superheroes, so, fingers crossed.

Are you well up on your superheroes, Malcolm?

I am, I've got a five-year-old

whose bedroom is decorated with superheroes,

so, he'll kill me if I get this wrong.

It's the X-Men.

Let's see if you're right. Peter?

That is correct, it's the X-Men!

Well done, good. APPLAUSE

Part of the Marvel Universe.

First appeared in the comics in 1963.

-£200 to you, Malcolm. Well done.

-Thank you.

Sheila, who do you want to go with?

I think I'm going to go with Cleve, for your amazing music knowledge.

Let's see.

I think you've chosen right as far as music is concerned.

I'm absolutely stumped.

I must say, I am.

So, I think I'm going to have to just make a wild guess.

Handel.

-Handel is the answer you want to go with...

-Yes.

..as the composer of the Hallelujah Chorus.

Has she got a handle on it?

Marvellous. Handel it is.

Really?!

Well done!

-Oh, my God!

-APPLAUSE

That was a guess!

Hallelujah!

LAUGHTER

Very well done. Amazing guess work there, on your part.

-It was in there somewhere, you knew it, really.

-Must be, yeah.

It must have been.

OK, £200 to you, and Roger?

You can still choose from the whole Think Tank.

I think I'm going to have to play to my strength and go to Cleve, again.

OK, hoping for a musical question from Cleve.

Unfortunately, my friend, it's not a musical question.

I know this because I'm a huge sports fan in general.

Rugby union?

Rugby union is what you're saying.

OK, is he right, Cleve?

-Roger, all right, absolutely.

-Well done.

APPLAUSE

£200 to you, Roger, well done.

Malcolm, you cannot use Cleve any more,

but everybody else, seven fine minds, are at your disposal.

LAUGHTER

Max, I'm feeling something, I'm feeling it.

Max, let's hear a question you answered correctly before the show.

All right, Malcolm. Well, I hope you like your history, like I do.

This question is about something that happened 200 years ago,

so, Bill, you might remember it.

LAUGHTER

It's a pity he hasn't got a prize fund I can knock down.

LAUGHTER

You'll be in detention, won't he, Malcolm?

LAUGHTER

There you go, give him the eyebrow. You must teach me that.

The 18th June 2015 marked the 200th anniversary

of which famous battle?

I'm thinking of wars around that time.

I guess we might have been at war with France.

So, I'm going to go with Waterloo.

Waterloo is your answer.

-Is he right?

-Couldn't escape if you wanted to, it is Waterloo.

LAUGHTER

APPLAUSE

It was, of course, Napoleon Bonaparte's final defeat

at the hands of Wellington and Marshal Blucher, so, £200 to you.

Sheila, who do you want to choose for the next question?

I'm going to go with Lucy,

for purely superficial reasons of, I love your top.

-Oh, thank you very much!

-LAUGHTER

Dance teacher, Lucy.

Hopefully, you will know the answer to this.

I have a secret obsession, which is '80s and '90s video games.

Did you ever play any of these?

I did, many a misspent hour,

when perhaps I should have been doing homework,

but I was on the old computer games instead.

So, it's Luigi, I believe.

Luigi, you say, is Mario's brother in the Super Mario computer games.

Lucy, is that right?

It's absolutely right, well done on your misspent hours.

APPLAUSE

£200 to Sheila.

Roger, you can choose anybody you like, apart from Cleve.

I found out that Max likes history, and so do I.

So, I'm going to risk

that he's got another history question up his sleeve.

Have you?

-Well, Roger sorry to disappoint you, it is, in fact, a film question.

-OK.

This is actually one of my favourite films,

so, hopefully you'll get this one.

I can see his name now, I can see his face.

He's doing the Star Trek movies.

Something Frost... Nick Frost?

It's Nick Frost's friend.

I have nothing. Mickey Mouse.

LAUGHTER

Mickey Mouse, you really want to go with Mickey Mouse

-as the film director?

-I have nothing else.

-OK.

Could it possibly have been, Max, Mickey Mouse?

Well, while Simon Pegg and Nick Frost

were the two guys directed by...

-..Edgar Wright.

-Edgar Wright was the answer.

Edgar Wright, oh, I would never have known that.

-You'd never have known it?

-Never.

-OK, so Mickey Mouse wasn't too bad a guess, was it?

-Not far away.

OK, Roger. So, nothing for you on that particular question.

Malcolm, we come back to you.

Your third and final question in this round.

Still got most of the field to choose from, apartment Cleve,

and Max, of course, now.

Abi, I'm hoping you've got some nice questions for me.

Our Doctor, Abi.

I hope so too, I really do. So...

I think the patella is the kneecap.

-The kneecap?

-The kneecap.

OK, the kneecap, is that the right bone for the patella?

Well, the hip bone is connected to the femur bone,

that's got the kneecap in front of it, yes.

Kneecap is right.

Well done. APPLAUSE

To be honest, Abi, as a budding doctor,

if you couldn't find my kneecap, I'd be a little bit worried.

-LAUGHTER

-Yes, me too.

OK, good. So, £200 to you, Malcolm.

Well done. Sheila, who do you want to go for?

I think I'm going to go with Diane,

because I love the colour of your top.

Oh, thank you, thank you.

-I'm all about the tops.

-Flattery will get you everywhere.

LAUGHTER

So, I have a wonderful question for you.

I should know this, since I love films.

I think it's Ray Charles.

Oh, I hope I'm right.

So, Ray Charles is the film that you say Jamie Foxx won an Oscar in.

Diane?

The name of the film is Ray,

and it's a biography of Ray Charles's life.

So, I'm afraid, I'm really sorry, you had the right person,

but the wrong title,

and we can't give it to you, I'm afraid, Sheila.

-So close.

-Yep.

-So, nothing gets added to your total.

Roger, who would you like to choose?

Well, I'm going to go with Len,

because I think we're of an age,

so he might have a pool of knowledge,

and also because I like the colour of his top.

LAUGHTER

You think Len might have a pool of knowledge.

-A similar pool of knowledge.

-Is it heated and does it have a cover?

-That's what I want to know.

-No, but there is a nice thermal vest under here.

-Oh, a lovely top.

-Right. If you like comedy,

Rowan Atkinson is one of my favourite comedy actors.

I've heard this, it's a long time since I've seen it.

-I think it's called The Thin Blue Line.

-The Thin Blue Line...

-Yeah.

..is what you're thinking of.

Has he got the right line?

Yes, he's correct.

Well done.

APPLAUSE

£200 to you, Roger, and that brings us to the end of this round.

So, let's see how your prize funds have changed.

Sheila and Roger, you're tied on £800.

Just in the lead, though, Malcolm has got £1,000.

Well done.

APPLAUSE

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

but there's still a chance for any of you to get to the lead.

Roger and Sheila, you can easily 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 gave before the show,

and they'll tell you why they believe they're correct.

Obviously, only one of them can be right.

So, if you side with the correct person,

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

Only five questions remain, though,

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

so, do choose your answers carefully.

OK, first then, we're going to hear answers from Len and Diane.

So, here's the question:

-Len?

-There's only one answer, Angela Merkel.

Angela Merkel?

To me, when I see him on the TV,

it looks identical, like twins they are.

Obviously the media have picked up on it,

and Angela Merkel is my answer.

All right, Angela Merkel for you. Diane?

I said Vladimir Putin.

Dobby is small...

big-eyed...

wizened and knobbly,

and unfortunately Vladimir has a few of the same characteristics.

Hang on, the phone is ringing,

I think it's the Kremlin.

LAUGHTER

I've moved.

You see, you just cover yourself with, "So, I'm told."

Yes, yes, yes. So I'm told, so I'm told.

OK, so...

The choices are Vladimir Putin or Angela Merkel.

Contestants, please lock in your answers.

Well, all three of you have gone with Vladimir Putin.

So, let's see if you're right.

That's the right answer, Vladimir Putin.

-APPLAUSE

-Well done.

Just in case you're wondering what Dobby looks like,

and why there might be such a resemblance...

take a look at this.

LAUGHTER

Aw!

I'm saying nothing.

LAUGHTER

Best thing.

-Well done, Diane.

-Thank you.

-Thanks very much.

So, you all get to add £200 to your prize fund.

And for our next question we'll hear answers from Arminel and Cleve.

And here it is.

Arminel, our great sporting expert.

Oh, no, I was going to say hopefully you won't hold my previous

performance in sporting questions against me.

But I said Rory McIlroy.

Because he's everywhere.

Even someone like me,

who won't necessarily have taken much on board about sports people,

you see him all over the place.

He's in ads, he's obviously very, very high-profile.

And, therefore, that's why I reckon the answer was Rory McIlroy.

All right. Cleve, what's your thoughts?

The person that stood out to me most,

partly because he won the Formula One championship,

and he does appear in quite a lot of things,

actually is Lewis Hamilton.

-You're going with Lewis Hamilton?

-Lewis Hamilton.

Arminel, Rory McIlroy.

Those are your choices.

Please lock in what you think the answer is.

Malcolm and Roger have gone with Rory McIlroy

and Sheila is going with Lewis Hamilton.

What's the right answer?

Rory McIlroy has it!

Ha! I have regained some sporting credibility.

Well, it was brilliantly deduced and eminently worded,

and deserved to win on those grounds.

Brilliant, well done.

-So, well done, Arminel.

-Thank you.

£200 then gets added to the prize funds of Malcolm and Roger.

And we move on to our next question.

The answer is coming from Think Tankers, Len and Abi

Here we go.

Well, well, well, Len.

Well, it's a known fact that Prince Charles loves

playing jokes on people, got a tremendous sense of humour.

So, Prince Charles is my answer.

Prince Charles for you. Abi?

I went with his son, Prince Harry.

Um, I just think he has a bit more of a mischievous side,

with his gorgeous, ginger, spiky hair.

So, I think he might be Spike Wells.

So, I went with Prince Harry.

Spiky hair...Spike Wells, OK.

Prince Harry for you, Abi,

or the other choice from Len is Prince Charles.

Contestants, lock in your answers, please.

Split verdict again.

Malcolm and Sheila go with Prince Harry.

Roger's out on his own with Prince Charles.

Who's going to be right?

-Yes!

-Prince Harry is the answer.

APPLAUSE Well done.

Apparently, he set this Facebook account up in 2008.

-OK.

-I'm not sure if it's still going, but you can check him out.

Yes, I'll try to add him as a friend.

LAUGHTER See how you get on with that.

-Well done.

-Thank you.

So, Malcolm and Sheila, you get to add £200 to your prize fund.

For our next question we're going to hear answers from Arminel and Max.

And here it is.

Arminel, were you tuned in on Christmas Day?

No, actually I wasn't because I was out of the country.

But I reckon that the answer is the Queen's Christmas message.

Because it's iconic...

and frankly, what else could it possibly be?

Queen's Christmas message. What else could it possibly be, Max?

Well, I think the answer here would be Downton Abbey.

Whilst I'm a patriotic sort,

I don't think anyone really ever dies in the Queen's speech.

I don't think it's as exciting

as the Christmas Day episode of Downton Abbey always is.

I mean, it's an institution.

They gave the guy a knighthood and a lordship for writing it.

Queen's Christmas Message is an institution as well.

If we're comparing institutions that's an institution that's gone on

-for rather longer.

-Which one is sexier?

-LAUGHTER

-Sorry, very sorry.

Talking about Her Majesty, we don't use...

the word "sexy" in the same sentence as the Queen.

I'll take myself off to the Tower now.

I think that'd be a very good idea.

But before you do, it's a choice...

between Downton Abbey and the Queen's Christmas Message.

Please lock in your choices before Max gets locked out.

LAUGHTER

Two with Downton Abbey,

Roger and Malcolm.

Sheila in the middle with the Queen's Christmas Message.

Who's right?

Queen's Christmas Message it is. Well done!

-APPLAUSE

-As it should be.

6.9 million people watched the last episode of Downton Abbey, but...

7.2 million people watched the Queen's Christmas Message.

Many of them, I should think, watched both.

There you are. Arminel, well done.

And Sheila, well done to you, that's £200 more to your prize fund.

For our final question in this round,

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

And here it is...

Lucy?

Well, I'm the mum of a six-year-old boy and

reading is one of our shared pleasures.

And I am almost certain that I have seen many titles

hinting at the answer...

David Walliams.

David Walliams for you.

Peter?

I'm a big fan of Tracy Beaker and she wrote thousands of books.

I think she even writes them in her sleep.

I have chosen Jacqueline Wilson.

Jacqueline Wilson for you.

So, those are your choices.

Please lock in your answers.

Malcolm and Sheila going with David Walliams.

Out on his own, Roger with Jacqueline Wilson.

Let's see who's right.

-It's David Walliams. Indeed.

-Yay!

-Well done, Lucy.

-Thank you.

And, Sheila and Malcolm, you get to add £200 more to your prize funds.

So, contestants, that's the end of Round Three.

Let's take a look at your totals.

In the lead, Malcolm with £1,800.

Followed by Sheila with £1,600.

Trailing behind in third place with £1,200, still a very good total,

but not enough, I'm afraid, Roger.

We have to say goodbye to you. Thanks very much for playing.

And a brilliant shirt!

I think we should give you extra points for that! Thanks very much.

APPLAUSE

Well done, Malcolm and Sheila.

You two will now compete for the money that you built up so far,

in our final.

So, Malcolm, if you're our winner, how will you spend the cash?

We could do with extending the house,

I think it's probably going to go towards that.

All right, very constructive. Sheila?

Very similar dream, except my husband and I,

we're trying to buy our very first house.

So hopefully we can put it towards that.

Well, we wish you the best of luck.

Our final is a general knowledge battle.

I'm going to ask you five questions each,

and whoever get the most correct answers will then

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

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

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

Each member can only be picked once, though.

And the difference is that in the final,

compared to the rest of the show,

they actually haven't seen any of these questions before.

They're just as much in the dark as you are.

Malcolm, you built up the most money during the game,

-so, you're going to go first. OK?

-OK, thank you.

Here is your first question.

So, you probably want to consult with someone on that one before you

deliver your answer. Who would you like to go with?

Um, Arminel, please.

Oh, gosh.

As long as the answer is not Jonathan...

LAUGHTER

Do you have any ideas?

I got a feeling it's the Purple Heart.

I remember watching lots of...

I'm so glad you do, because that's what I feel as well.

Sorry I interrupted you.

We're both on the same plane, though. You think Purple Heart?

Yes, I do.

OK.

Purple Heart's what you want to go with?

Yeah, we'll go with Purple Heart.

You say that the medal, shaped like a heart, given to American

servicemen and women wounded or killed in action is the Purple Heart.

Let's see if you're right.

You are indeed! The Purple Heart it is.

APPLAUSE

Well done.

So, 1-0 to you at the moment, Malcolm.

But easy for you to equalise if you get this one right, Sheila.

Here's your first question.

Who do you want to back up your ideas?

Len.

I'm ruling out some of those, like Devon and Somerset.

Cornwall is out of it as well.

We're moving up the coast quietly, aren't we?

Gloucester is another one, isn't there?

I...

I think it's...

-Wiltshire.

-Wiltshire?

I think I'm going to go with Wiltshire.

-Yeah.

-You're going to go with Wiltshire?

-Yeah.

-OK, you say Stonehenge

is located in Wiltshire, the English county of Wiltshire.

Let's see if you're right.

You are indeed! Wiltshire is the right answer.

1-1 and we go to Malcolm's second question.

So, you have six members of the Think Tank to choose from.

Abi, I'm hoping that your doctor skills extend to European hospitals.

LAUGHTER

I haven't worked there, I hear that the French health care is excellent.

But whereabouts is Denmark? More sort of...

North, east? East.

So, isn't Germany east? It's not near France, is it?

I'm thinking a bit further up.

Oh, is it north?

Well, there's Norway, isn't there?

-Up on the arch...

-Norway?

And Sweden.

But then where's Denmark?

-I'm sorry.

-Where is Denmark?

LAUGHTER

The idea is not that you keep asking each other the same question.

You give each other an answer, if you possibly can.

So, what is the only country to share a land border with Denmark?

Does that mean Denmark is on the coast

and there's only one country next to it?

-I'm thinking it is.

-Right, OK.

I'm thinking, Norway, Sweden, Finland and...

none of them are jumping out to me.

So, what was your final guess?

Well, I lived with someone who was Finnish.

OK.

You'll have to decide, Malcolm.

I'm going to go with Finland.

Finland? You're going with Finland, OK.

What is the only country to share a land border with Denmark?

You're saying Finland.

Are you right?

It's Germany!

It's Germany.

-Where you started off, Abi.

-Yeah.

Then you named pretty much every country in northern Europe.

And ended up with somewhere, you had a friend who was from Finland?

Yeah, that was it.

LAUGHTER

OK, so we're still tied, at 1-1.

And, Sheila, here's your next question.

Who do you think can back you up here?

I think...

Peter.

I'm going to go with you because I am hoping that your

film knowledge extends to the television.

The Holloways...

Charmed?

Maybe?

I know it's definitely not Charmed.

-LAUGHTER

-I know that.

So...

It looks like you're on your own.

Yeah, I know that she was in Mad Men.

So, I'm sure she's done other shows.

But I'm going to go with Mad Men.

You're going to go with Mad Men,

as the American TV drama series

in which Christina Hendricks played the role of Joan Holloway.

Let's have a look.

-Mad Men it is!

-Well done.

-Thank you.

Christina Hendricks has been nominated for an Emmy Award

six times for her role in Mad Men,

and has yet to win once.

Wow!

Maybe one day.

OK, so the score is 2-1 to Sheila.

Malcolm, here's your third question.

Any fantasist left among the Think Tankers

that can help you here?

I'm thinking of someone who might've watched similar films to me.

Cleve, I'm hoping you'll be able to help me with this one.

Whether I should be ashamed to say this or not,

I've never seen the film.

Actually, I should say, I've seen snippets of it, but

I've never watched it from start to finish.

The only thing that would spring to mind would be David Bowie.

Yeah, I can remember him with a particularly spurious 1980s hairdo,

and looking a bit sinister.

So, I'd like to go for David Bowie, please.

OK, you're going to go with David Bowie as playing the role of

Jareth the Goblin King in the film fantasy Labyrinth.

Let's see if you're right.

It was indeed the late David Bowie.

-APPLAUSE

-That's my favourite film.

David Bowie, who sadly passed away in January 2016.

So, Malcolm, that brings you level,

on 2-2.

Sheila, your chance to take the lead again, though,

with your next question.

Only Lucy, Diane and Max to choose from.

Max, I'd like to ask for your help.

-Would you?

-Mainly because...

you remind me of my friend, Francis.

He's lovely and so are you.

So, I'm going to go with you. What do you think?

Doesn't imply any specialist knowledge.

LAUGHTER

Well, I have to say, my first thought with this one,

I don't know if you agree with me, is New York.

What was your thought?

Not New York...

-Because I think New York is JFK and Newark.

-Yes.

I think O'Hare is Chicago.

-Ah, yes.

-I think, I hope it is.

I'm going to go with that.

-You want to go with Chicago?

-Yes.

OK, O'Hare International Airport serves which city?

You think it's Chicago.

Let's see if you're going to land in the right place.

Chicago it is! Well done.

-APPLAUSE

-Thank you.

Very judicious overruling, even if he does look like your friend.

3-2 to you, Sheila.

Malcolm, your chance to equalise

comes up with this question.

Just Lucy and Diane to help you out here.

Diane.

Hi.

-WHISPERS:

-Hello.

LAUGHTER

That's not the response I was hoping for, Diane.

Well, we're starting at...

Should we work backwards?

Well, at the moment, I'm only on two cos Queen Elizabeth II and then,

Queen Victoria.

Where are you at?

I'm thinking four.

-Are you?

-Maybe even five.

-No!

-There's Queen Victoria and...

When she passed away, one of her children.

There was, I can't remember the king's name who abdicated,

-it was in the King's Speech.

-Oh, wait a minute!

Wait, wait, wait!

Was it Edward VIII?

Yeah, he abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson.

Did George take over after that?

I'm sure he did because that's how Queen Elizabeth

came onto the throne, because George V was her father.

So, we've got Queen Elizabeth, George V, Edward.

So, did Edward take over from Victoria?

Or was there someone in the middle?

There was somebody before that, I'm fairly sure.

Who reigned for a short period?

-Should we go for five?

-We'll go to five then. Good luck.

Thank you.

-Thank you for the thinking.

-That's OK!

-Five?

-Five is my answer.

In total, how many British kings and queens reigned

during the 20th century?

You're saying five. Have you got the right number?

It's six!

Six?

And they were...

Queen Victoria,

Edward VII,

George V,

Edward VIII,

-George VI...

-Oh!

and Queen Elizabeth II.

-I'm sorry.

-That's OK, thank you.

You worked really hard on it.

We did, yeah!

Pity you came up with the wrong answer in the end, but there you go.

So, it is still 3-2 to Sheila.

And Sheila,

if you get this answer right,

you will be our winner.

-No pressure.

-No pressure.

Here is your question.

Here is just Lucy to help you.

What are you thoughts, who are your thinking?

-Colin Firth is in the film.

-Yes.

So is Michael Caine.

Ah, yes.

And I can't remember which one is called Harry.

Colin Firth has definitely won an Oscar, right?

Yes, he has. And when I heard Harry I thought Colin Firth.

But my gut instinct was Colin Firth.

-Yeah.

-Which I think your gut instinct was as well.

-I'm going to do it.

-For the win, no pressure.

It's your decision, but fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed.

Um, Colin Firth.

-Colin Firth?

-Yeah.

Is your gut instinct. It's Lucy's gut instinct.

-It's what you want to go with?

-Yeah.

OK.

You said Colin Firth.

If you are right you will be our winner.

-And right you are!

-Yes!

APPLAUSE

-Well done!

-Thank you!

Malcolm, commiserations, you did absolutely brilliantly, really.

Sadly, you don't get to take anything home,

apart from, I think, some pride to your class at school.

They should be very proud of you...

-Hopefully.

-..and what you've done today.

Well done, thanks for being with us.

Sheila, as our winner, you will definitely be taking home your prize

of £1,600.

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

First, should we take a moment to congratulate the Think Tanker

who gave the most correct answers on today's programme?

And it was...

..Cleve!

-APPLAUSE ALL:

-Yay!

You did so well with those musical questions, well done.

Sheila, you have one last chance to seriously boost your prize fund,

as you now face our Question: Impossible.

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

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

Sheila, if you can achieve what none of them could,

and give us the right answer, then an extra £1,000 is yours.

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

Have a think about that before you give us your answer.

We're going to give you a little of help,

as we take a look at the Think Tank's wrong answers.

And it could rule a few things out. So, here we go.

These were the incorrect answers

that the Think Tank gave.

So, what do you think it could be?

I'm quite stumped, actually.

I'm going to have to really make a guess of this.

Um...

..Milton Keynes?

Milton Keynes is what you're going to go for?

Yes.

This is for an extra £1,000.

You're saying Milton Keynes.

Have you got the right answer and the right place?

Chelmsford was what we needed.

Not Milton Keynes, I'm afraid.

Sorry, it wasn't it. You didn't conquer the Question: Impossible.

You're still leaving, Sheila, with £1,600.

So, we hope that'll help you on your way to getting a house.

-Oh, for sure.

-Good.

You did brilliantly. Thanks very much for being with us.

Thank you.

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...

-THINK TANK:

-Woo-woo!

And it's goodbye from me.

LAUGHTER Bye-bye.
