Episode 7 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 our three contestants? Playing the game are -

Jude, a social enterprise student from Stockport.

Chris, a portfolio director from London.

And Ross, a sports coaching student from Greenock.

This is Think Tank.

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

We seem to have coordinated this Think Tank by generation

with youth and vigour at the back...

..and maturity and wisdom at the front.

Yes.

Or is it just age before beauty?

No! No, no! You all look absolutely lovely.

Well, let's hope that this group's varied careers in HR, tourism,

local government and hospitality

will provide a broad range of knowledge

to assist our three contestants - Jude, Chris and Ross.

Great to have you with us.

-Jude, you're between careers at the moment, are you?

-Yeah, I am.

I've just left local government after 30 years

and I'm training to be a social entrepreneur. Sounds very flashy.

-What is that?

-Yes. It means that I'm working in communities

to help develop local employment,

-help put something back into the community.

-Good.

Some people feel a little bit shy when they come on the show

but for you this wouldn't be the worst thing

-that's ever happened to you like that.

-I'm afraid not.

My worst moment was walking through Manchester city centre

with my skirt tucked in my underwear for about half a mile.

Absolutely no idea until I looked into a shop window

and saw my knickers!

-LAUGHTER

-It was great!

Oh, dear. That's awful!

Who's had an embarrassing moment here in the Tank? Diane.

I got my head stuck in the railings outside British Home Stores.

Really? What were you doing?

I wanted to see the fountain.

How old were you at the time?

Erm... I wasn't that young, actually.

But it was people had put money in the fountain and I put my head in

to have a better look and then I couldn't get it back out again.

Were the fire brigade called?

No. Luckily there were some strong people,

so the railings have got that shape in, to get my big head back out.

-No pictures, I suppose?

-No, luckily!

Thanks for sharing.

-Good luck, Jude.

-Thank you.

Chris, you're a portfolio director. What does that mean?

Providing investment advice to retail clients

and professional advisers.

-Stocks and shares?

-Yes.

I've got a portfolio, actually, I need a little bit of help with.

It's this lot.

Do you think... Are they gilt-edged shares or junk bonds?

They look very gilt-edged to me.

-Aww!

-You're all keepers.

-OK. Ross, you are a sports coach student...

-Yes.

-..is that right? OK.

We need a bit of coaching here actually because, particularly Max.

You need some coaching in actually WATCHING sport, don't you?

Yes, I live with some very ardent Arsenal fans

and I've actually been banned from speaking on match days

because anything I say will inevitably be wrong.

Things like, "What's that chap with the flag doing?"

So, look, can you give him some handy phrases

that he might be able to chuck in when he's watching with his mates?

If you're watching with your friends,

chuck in maybe a holding midfielder,

something like that.

-Hold the midfielder?

-No, not hold the midfielder.

LAUGHTER

Somebody who's running around the middle of the pitch -

-holding midfielder.

-Holding midfielder.

-OK.

Good luck to all three of you.

Over three rounds, our contestants will try to tap into the knowledge

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

The two highest scorers progress to the final

but 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, then every member

of the Think Tank will reveal the answer that they gave

before the show.

So, the correct answer's always going to be there somewhere.

Any number of mistakes in the mix as well, OK?

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

-Two questions each. Jude, you're up first.

-OK.

So, here's a question we put to the Think Tank.

Have a think about that while we see

what the Think Tank thought,

starting with Peter.

Anthea Turner.

Diane-Louise Jordan.

Konnie Huq.

Rochelle Humes.

Valerie Singleton.

Valerie Singleton.

Valerie Singleton.

Mary.

Three go for Valerie Singleton.

The most popular choice doesn't mean necessarily that they're right.

There's a range of other names to choose from as well.

My first thought was Valerie Singleton.

It's probably the maturity on the front row that I'm going with

on this one.

-In terms of that, I would say Valerie Singleton.

-OK.

Who is Blue Peter's longest-serving

female presenter of all time?

Jude, you're going with Valerie Singleton.

Let's see if you're right.

It's Konnie Huq, in fact.

She worked on Blue Peter

from December 1997 to January 2008.

No money for you there, Jude, and we moved on to Chris.

Here's your first question.

Let's see what the Think Tank thought.

The Wizard Of Oz.

Boyhood.

The Artist.

Titanic.

The Artist.

Digby.

Artists.

A Fish Called Wanda.

A fair range to choose from there, Chris.

Do you remember this film at all?

I must confess I haven't seen it

but I think I will go with The Artist.

OK. George Valentin, Peppy Miller and a dog named Jack

are major characters in which Oscar-winning film?

You're saying The Artist. Let's see if you're right.

Well done, you are indeed right. It's The Artist.

So, it was an almost entirely silent film.

Won Oscars in fact for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor

in 2012.

So, well done, Chris, £200 to you.

Ross, you've seen how it works. Here's your first question.

Here's what the Think Tank

had to say about that.

Charles Darwin.

Charles II.

Herbert Asquith.

Winston Churchill.

Winston Churchill.

Emmeline Pankhurst.

Winston Churchill.

Vincent Van Gogh.

So again, a wide range for you

to choose from there.

Got any thoughts about that, Ross?

I'll go for Winston Churchill

since there's two in the front row said it.

Which historical figure married Clementine Hozier in 1908?

Ross, you're saying it's Winston Churchill.

Let's see if you're right.

Winston Churchill it is, well done.

A famously happy marriage, they had five children.

-Charles II, Lucy.

-Yeah.

He lived a long time before he got married.

1300s. I've been waking up in a cold sweat

ever since the day we did all the questions, we did hundreds.

And in the dying moments I thought, "Ah, Charles II,"

and went back and changed an answer.

This was not the question I meant to change the answer to.

And I've been praying that this didn't come up.

It's come up.

OK. £200 to you, then, Ross,

and we come back to Jude for your second question.

Have a think about that while we see

what the Think Tank said.

Quebec.

Lima.

Lima.

Quebec.

Java.

Lima.

Berlin.

Sydney.

So several different choices.

Three go for Lima

but you can have several others.

I'm thinking...Lima.

Which word that represents a letter of the NATO phonetic alphabet

is also the name of a national capital city?

Jude's going with Lima.

Let's see if she's right.

Lima it is, well done.

The NATO phonetic alphabet, widely used in radio communications

-and aircraft as well, so it's that alpha bravo.

-Yeah.

£200 to you, Jude, and, Chris, we come onto you.

Let's see what the Think Tank kicked around. Peter.

Spain.

Croatia.

Serbia.

Poland.

Russia.

Slovakia.

Russia.

Sweden.

Seven different European countries to choose from, Chris.

How good are you at your football knowledge?

-Very good.

-OK.

So, I know he's originally from Croatia

but he moved to Sweden as a youngster

and he represents Sweden.

So, I'm going to go with Cleve's answer,

we're both of the same mind on that one.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic represents which country

in international football?

Chris is saying Sweden. Let's see if he's right.

Back of the net. Sweden it is.

-Zlatan Ibrahimovic actually, Chris, BORN in Sweden.

-OK.

But you got the right answer. So, £200 to you.

And, Ross, we move on to your second question.

Peter.

Elizabeth.

Philippa.

Patricia.

Patricia.

Margaret.

Penelope.

Margaret.

Petulia.

-Tricky one, this, Ross.

-Yeah.

I'm trying to think of Peggy Mitchell's real name

in EastEnders.

IMITATES PEGGY MITCHELL: Get out my pub.

Yeah, that's the one.

I'm not too sure.

I'll go for Margaret.

OK, Peggy is a traditional shortening

of which three-syllable woman's name?

Ross is saying Margaret.

The correct answer is...

It is indeed. Margaret is is.

It's come from Margaret to Maggie, to Meggy to Peggy.

Well done. So, £200 to you, Ross.

That brings us to the end of the first round,

let's see how you're all doing.

Currently, Jude is on £200,

Chris and Ross are tied on £400.

That could all change in our next round though.

Every member of the Think Tank is holding two questions

which they answered correctly before the show.

You will take it in turns to pick someone from the Think Tank

whose knowledge you think you can match.

For every correct answer,

another £200 will be added to your prize fund.

Once the Think Tanker has asked both of their questions though,

they can't be picked again, OK?

Jude, you get to go first. Who would you like?

-Well, you're all such a lovely, smiling lot.

-They are.

-Now, Jackie...

-Yeah.

-..I feel an instant bond with you

-because we're local government people.

-Yes.

So, can I pick you please?

-I'm also interested in the accent, as well.

-Yes, from Bolton.

-Not too far, not too far.

-No, absolutely.

-Aye up, lass.

-You could be related.

-We could.

-We probably are.

-It's our Jude!

-LAUGHTER

I know the answer to this one

-cos I've travelled quite extensively in Thailand.

-Oh.

-Do you know your Thai food?

-I do.

I'm afraid to say I'm another fellow traveller.

I've been to Southeast Asia quite a lot and I have tried tom yum

and very much like it.

-It's a soup.

-Is it a soup?

You're spot-on and it's lovely as well.

Yeah, absolutely.

-Often made with fish or prawns.

-Oh, thank you.

£200 for you, then, Jude.

Chris, you're up next. Who would you like to choose?

I'm going to go with Peter.

Peter, our pizza waiter.

OK. I didn't actually see this film but I've heard so much about it,

-so good luck with this one.

-OK.

Who played Al Pacino's father in the 1972 film The Godfather?

Erm...

Marlon Brando.

Marlon Brando, is that right?

That's correct, it's Marlon Brando.

Marlon Brando played Don Corleone, of course

and won an Oscar for it too.

Peter, I'm amazed. Film is your thing and you've never seen it.

Just not quite got to the video store to get it out yet.

I tell you what, I'm going to make you an offer you can't refuse.

LAUGHTER

I've got it on DVD actually. Come round mine and we'll watch it...

again and again and again.

Well done, Chris, £200 to you. And, Ross, your choice.

I'm going to go for a younger person at the back,

-so I'm going to go with Anisha.

-Our office assistant, Anisha.

Right. Well, I don't know how I got this answer

because it's about sport.

So, you should be all right, actually. The question is...

Which sportsman married Kim Sears in 2015?

Well, I play and watch a lot of tennis,

Andy is my favourite player, so Andy Murray.

-Is he right?

-It is Andy Murray, well done.

And he got married in his hometown in Dunblane.

And as a Scot, you'd be drummed out, wouldn't you,

if you hadn't got that one right.

I would. I'd be chucked out of the country, I think.

OK. £200 to you, Ross, well done.

-Jude...

-OK.

-..we come back to you.

I'll still stay with the older, maturer element of the Think Tank.

I'm going for Ken.

Our retired holiday rep, Ken.

Have you travelled to Spain?

I have. I'm thinking...

Barcelona.

-Barcelona?

-Yes, perfect answer. Barcelona.

Well done.

Well done. £200 to you, Jude.

Chris, you can still choose any one you like.

Someone from the back, Max or Lucy.

-I'll go with Max.

-Our English literature graduate, Max.

Very kind of you, Chris, thank you.

I read slightly too many 19th-century novels

when I was growing up and I started fantasising about being

a dashing cavalry officer.

But of course then I grew up and realised that horses

aren't really a very big part of modern military forces

so I put that dream aside but...

I have heard Sandhurst a lot, mentioned.

So, I'm going to go for Sandhurst.

-Is he right?

-You're absolutely right, it's Sandhurst.

It's an officer training centre and Prince Harry went there.

I can see you as a dashing cavalry officer.

Captain Max.

Oh, that's very kind, Bill.

In your fantasy life... LAUGHTER

..you go charging, charging through the battlefield,

you win all sorts of medals and then you wake up...

..and you find yourself here on the Think Tank.

£200 to Chris.

Ross, we move on to you and you've still got the whole field.

I'm going to go with Peter.

Tofu is traditionally made from what type of beans?

I do not like beans one bit, so I'm not sure at all.

There's one I know, pinto.

Pinto, is that the right answer?

I'm afraid it's not, it's soya bean.

Soya beans is what we were looking for. Soya beans.

No money for you there, Ross.

And we come back to Jude for your next question.

You can ask anybody you like apart from Peter.

I'm going to stick with my winning group on the front row

and I'm going to go for Diane.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-OK.

Right, before I ask this question, I have to give you the vision.

So, my hair's in plaits, I've got no make-up on,

my glasses are at the end of my nose

and I've got my spectacular onesie on.

So that's just to put you in the right frame for this.

Who plays the title role in the TV detective series Columbo?

OK. I am old enough to know this.

Peter Falk.

Peter Falk, very well remembered if that's right. Is she?

Absolutely spot-on, well done.

What's with the whole onesie, curlers thing?

-You have Columbo days.

-Columbo days!

So, the chair's reclined and you've got your mug of cocoa,

it's got the whipped cream on the top

and he's on the telly and you're happy.

You know what? You know how to live.

-We're all coming round to your house.

-That's right.

All right. So, Jude, £200 to you.

Chris, we come to you again

and you can still choose anybody apart from Peter.

-I didn't choose Lucy before, so I'll choose her now.

-Lucy.

I run a dance school, so I knew the answer

because I actually teach ballet.

In ballet, what is a grand jete?

Ballet is not my forte.

I'm going to go for a big...

..double spin in the air or something like that.

Double spin in the air?

Well, if you do one en tournant, it would indeed be a double spin

but this is just a jump.

Just a jump. OK.

I remember jetes very well from when I was on Strictly

and Karen Hardy, my partner,

said I should have been leaping like a gazelle

but I was just lumbering around like a carthorse.

-LAUGHTER ALL:

-Aw...

So, she made me do these jumps to practise my jete, right?

I fell over, twisted my ankle, tore a ligament.

It got inflamed and then infected.

It took ages to get better.

I looked incredibly brave and I stayed in the competition

several weeks longer than I should have

cos I got all those sympathy votes.

It was wonderful, the best thing that ever happened to me.

OK. So, good try, Chris.

Not quite right, I'm afraid, so nothing for you there.

And, Ross, we move on to you. Anyone but Peter still.

I feel sorry for Cleve as he's not read a question out yet,

so I'm going to pick Cleve.

Our musician, Cleve.

Your sorrow may be misplaced, young man.

I, unfortunately, don't know who Tommy Cooper is

and I'm not a hat connoisseur, so it's not great.

I'll have a guess and say bowler. A bowler hat.

Was it a bowler hat?

Unfortunately not. It was a fez...

-IMITATES TOMMY COOPER:

-..just like that.

-It was a fez.

-It was a fez.

And how did he wear it, Think Tankers?

-ALL:

-Just like that.

What is going on?

-Tommy Cooper.

-No idea, mate. On your own.

Hugely famous comedian, did very funny one-liners,

sometimes pretty awful jokes but he just made you laugh

and his catchphrase was, "Just like that."

No money for you there, Ross,

and that brings us to the end of the second round.

Shall we see how your prize funds have changed?

Ross, you have £600.

Jude and Chris are tied on £800.

One of you will shortly have to leave the game.

One last chance though for any of you to take the lead -

so you can catch up, Ross.

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

Two members of the Think Tank will then come along

and tell you the answer that they gave before the show

and why they believe they're correct.

Only one of them's going to be right.

If you side with the correct person, you'll get an all-important £200

added to your total.

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

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

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

Here's the question.

-Peter.

-I think it's New York, New York

because I remember watching the film Gremlins Two

when they're all sort of singing along and having a good time

and it's always stuck in my mind, that song has.

All right. Cleve.

Frank Sinatra, one of the greatest of all

and part of the triumph of the Rat Pack.

Now the end is near and we face the final curtain,

I decided it had to be...

# My Way. #

OK. Cleve says My Way.

Peter says New York, New York.

Contestants, please lock in your answers.

All three of you going with My Way.

Are you singing the right tune?

You are indeed. My Way.

My Way had almost a million sales in the UK.

New York, New York, a relatively late recording by Sinatra

in the late '70s

and a beautiful rendition there, Cleve.

Oh, I could do it even better, I could do it with the real voice.

# Did it my way. #

-How about that?

-There you go.

Thanks very much.

So, we add £200 to all of your prize funds.

For our next question, we hear answers from Max and Jackie.

Here it is.

-Max.

-So, the word bus comes from omnibus,

which of course has its roots in the Latin for all.

Now, obviously, the bus was part of that Victorian project

to sort of bring all the peoples of the city together,

prince and pauper, cheek by jowl

travelling to their places of work all through London

and of course other cities in the UK as well. So, omnibus.

-And of course that eventually got shortened to bus.

-Jackie.

-Very passionate, isn't he?

-He is.

It's called bus cos it's short for business vehicle

as opposed to private vehicles, which people had.

So, other people drove around in their own cars

but this was a business vehicle.

A vehicle for business. OK.

So, your options are business vehicle or omnibus.

Contestants, please lock in your answers.

All three of you again

on the same lines saying omnibus

is the word for which bus is short.

Let's see if you're right.

Indeed you are.

As Max said, it is derived from the Latin meaning for all. Omnibus.

-Well done.

-He knew that Latin would come in some time.

-Finally!

-Finally! At last!

Well done. Thank you, both.

And, again, you all get £200.

Our next Think Tankers coming up are Lucy and Peter

and here is their question.

-Lucy.

-Well, I must admit, not a dish I've eaten myself

but I do know that they farm salmon quite extensively

and I think if you're going to go to all that trouble to farm a fish,

it can't just be for the flesh to eat, it must also be for the eggs.

-So, I say salmon.

-Peter.

I think it's sturgeon. For some reason it came out of my head.

I just remember fishiness

and I remember that there was a leader in Scotland

called Sturgeon, so I just think it's sturgeon.

Well, that's quite a logic, isn't it?

LAUGHTER

So, here are your choices - sturgeon or salmon.

Please lock in your answers.

And Jude's gone with sturgeon.

Chris and Ross have gone for salmon.

Let's see who's right.

-Sturgeon it is.

-Oh, well done.

It's a delicacy traditionally produced

in the Caspian and Black Seas.

How you got that answer right, Peter, I'm not entirely sure

but well done anyway.

£200 for you, Jude.

And for our next question, we hear answers from Diane and Jackie.

Here we go.

Diane.

I believed it was Richard III

because they found his bones under a car park

and they decided to take him back to Leicestershire

and give him a proper kingly reburial.

Richard III. Jackie.

Well, it is a Richard but it's Richard II.

Benedict Cumberbatch did give a reading

but I don't think he was either a relative or a friend of his,

so I don't know what the connection was, really.

-And you're right about the car park bit.

-OK.

Richard II, Richard III - those are the choices.

Contestants, please lock in your answers.

You've all gone with Richard III.

Let's see if you're right.

You are indeed.

-Richard III is correct.

-I'm one off.

At the service, Benedict Cumberbatch read a poem

by the poet laureate, Carol Ann Duffy,

and in fact he IS a descendant of Richard III.

-Is he?

-Yeah.

-Right. I thought he'd just gone for the ham sandwiches.

Off you go. LAUGHTER

Where do we get them from? That's what I want to know.

£200 to each of you and for our final question in this round,

we'll hear answers from Anisha and Ken. Here's the question.

-Anisha.

-OK, guys. So, I went with Rihanna for two reasons.

The first reason is cos she makes banger after banger.

Second of all, we're both of Bajan heritage.

I think she must be my cousin cos it's a really small island,

so we have to support family

and that's the reason I went for Rihanna.

-The Barbados connection.

-Exactly.

-All right. Ken?

Well, I've got to confess,

the last record I bought was played at 78 speed on a wind-up gramophone

but I do actually like this lady concerned

and I do follow her career and I'm going to go for Beyonce.

Beyonce or Rihanna, those are your choices.

Please lock in your answers.

Jude and Chris, have gone with Beyonce.

Ross is out on his own with Rihanna.

Who's right?

Rihanna it is.

-She makes banger after banger after banger.

-Banger after banger.

So much for the sausages, when does she get time to make the records?

I've learned so much being on this show, it's amazing.

-Well done, Anisha.

-Thank you.

-Thank you both.

-Well done.

And that means, Ross, you get £200 there.

That's the end of round three.

In the lead is Jude with £1,600.

Tied in second place are Chris and Ross on £1,400.

As you know, only two contestants can go through to the final,

so we're going to have a tie-break to determine who gets through.

Now, this deciding question has a numerical answer.

Whoever's closest to the correct answer will be in the final.

Here's the question.

Chris and Ross,

please lock in your answers.

Chris, you had 1,250.

Ross, you had 8,600.

Big discrepancy between the two.

What's the right answer?

5,200 is the correct total.

Which means, Ross, you are going through to today's final

as you are closest to the correct answer. Well done.

Sorry, Chris, we have to say goodbye to you. You built up a good total,

it's very unusual to have a tie-break at that level.

-Thanks very much for playing, I hope you had fun.

-Yes, I did, thank you.

OK, good to have you with us, thank you. Well done, Jude and Ross.

You two will now compete to take home the money

you've built up so far, in our final.

Jude, if you win, how would you spend the money?

-I've got two things that I want to do.

-Hm-hm.

-One, I've been told I am the worst singer in the world.

-No!

So, I'm going to have singing lessons.

And the other passion I have nowadays is cheese making.

My friends will laugh because I've decided I want to be a cheese maker,

so I will go and it do a cheese-making course

to see if I can do that or not.

You could combine the two and get some cheesy singing lessons.

-Absolutely.

-GROANS AND LAUGHTER

-Perfect.

-Well, Professor Cleve, can we just give her a quick lesson?

Where should she start?

Well, the first thing to learn to do is breathe

because if you don't breathe, what happens?

-You get short of breath.

-You die.

-LAUGHTER

-That's very dramatic!

Rule number one is to breathe, that's the first thing to do

-and if you begin to breathe, you'll begin to control things.

-Sure.

Give her a note. THEY HUM SOFTLY

-She's got it.

-You see and you notice that,

you've picked up that note already. If we move it a little higher...

THEY HUM LOUDER

It's like there's a load of bees in here.

LAUGHTER

Either that or someone's let some cats into the studio.

-LAUGHTER

-That was beautifully sung

-and that's your first lesson.

-Now you see why I need singing lessons.

-Jude, you were by no means the worst in the studio.

-Great!

-All right. So, good luck with that idea.

-Thank you.

Ross, what would you do?

I would go on holiday with my girlfriend,

maybe travel somewhere a bit different, maybe South America

-or something like that.

-OK.

-Something nice and simple.

-Simple, yes.

-OK, good.

Well, good luck to you both.

Our final is a general knowledge battle.

I'm going to ask you five questions each

and whoever gives the most correct answers

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

You do have the Think Tank 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.

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

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

So, they are just as much in the dark as you are this time, OK?

-Jude, you built up the most money in the main game.

-OK.

The final starts with you. Here's your first question.

-Got any thoughts about that?

-Yeah, I've got a couple of ideas.

I've not detected any Scottish accents.

I think I will stick with my friend Jackie.

Right, Jude.

What were your first thoughts?

I was thinking Edinburgh and Aberdeen.

-Now, I thought Edinburgh and Glasgow.

-OK.

This is a guess

and I have a feeling that it's Glasgow.

-OK.

-Just guessing. It's your answer, of course,

that really counts here, Jude.

I'm going to go for Edinburgh. Sorry, Jackie.

-No, no. It's your choice.

-That's what I'm going to go for.

OK. Which Scottish city is nicknamed Auld Reekie?

Jude, you're saying it's Edinburgh.

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

Edinburgh it is, well done. APPLAUSE

-It was once a very smoky city...

-Yeah.

..because of all the wood and coal fires and that's why

it was called Auld Reekie.

-Well done, Jude.

-Thank you.

-That's one to you.

Ross, your first question.

Ring any bells for you at all?

-Not at all.

-All right.

Well, you've got seven members of the Think Tank to help you.

I'm going to ask Max.

Well, I'm very glad you did ask me, Ross,

because it is actually something I know.

So, the musical is obviously based on Pygmalion the novel...

or the play done by George Bernard Shaw

but then the play itself, here's a fun fact,

is also based on a Greek myth.

But then the musical based on the play is My Fair Lady, in this case.

Max is sounding very, very convincing...

-LAUGHTER

-..so...

This is where we find out it's Guys And Dolls.

LAUGHTER

I'm going to go ahead and go with Max's answer and say My Fair Lady.

My Fair Lady. Which musical is based on the George Bernard Shaw play

Pygmalion? Ross is saying My Fair Lady...

..and he's right. My Fair Lady it is.

Featuring of course Professor Henry Higgins

and Eliza Doolittle.

1-1. Jude, your second question.

Six members now to go with of the Think Tank.

I'm going to go with Cleve.

Calculated guess, I have to say.

But if I do remember rightly,

Prince Charles is known for...

I'm sure he's written a book or a children's book,

I'm fairly sure about that.

Prince Charles is what came into my head.

I'd kind of thought about Fergie,

who wrote the stuff about the helicopters

but she's done some children's books I think, as well.

I think I will stick with Prince Charles

and agree with you, Cleve.

The Old Man Of Lochnagar is a children's book

by which member of the Royal family?

You're going to go with Prince Charles.

Let's see if you're right.

Prince Charles it is. Well done.

Sarah Ferguson did write books about Budgie the Helicopter...

-Yeah, that's right.

-..but this one was by Prince Charles.

He wrote it to entertain his younger brothers

when they were up at Balmoral one summer.

So that's 2-1 to you, Jude. Ross, here's your second question.

Let's see if we can get someone to help you here.

I'm going to go with Anisha.

OK, so I know he was in The Office,

which did really well over here,

and I know that they made it into an American version,

which I don't think was as great.

So, I think maybe it might be The Office.

I think he has a different character in The Office, I'm pretty sure.

Cos he was the lead person in The Office

and I don't think his name was Andy

but he did, you said, go to America.

He did go make a sitcom in America.

I think it was Extras, I'm not sure.

What is that?

I don't know if he was in that

but I have a vague recollection he might have been.

I'm going to say The Office but obviously it's your choice.

I'll go and I'll say Extras.

Ricky Gervais played Andy Millman in which TV sitcom?

Ross, you're saying Extras.

CHEERING It is.

Extras also starred Ashley Jensen

and had a whole series of celebrity cameos.

2-2 then. Jude, we come back to you.

-Football your thing at all?

-No, but I might have an idea...

-OK.

-..given where I live.

Erm, now, does anybody look like

a footballing type?

Hello.

I'm not wanting to gender stereotype

but I think I'll go for Peter on the back row.

-Oh!

-LAUGHTER

I'm afraid I don't watch much sport

unless I'm made to do physical activity.

Manchester United is always having

problems at the moment in the papers

-but I'm not too sure at all, I'm afraid.

-OK.

-What do you sense?

Erm... Let's go...

I think, because I do live in the city, I think it's Manchester City.

-Manchester City?

-Yeah.

HE READS QUESTION

Jude, you're saying Manchester City.

Let's see if you're right.

Indeed, Manchester City it is.

Replacing Manuel Pellegrini.

-To be honest, it's just up the road from where you live.

-It is!

-I was lucky on that question.

-Well done. OK.

3-2 To you.

Ross, you can easily catch up here.

Erm, I've not actually watched a lot of Porridge,

believe it or not but I think Ken might know.

The name Ronald rings a bell

but I'm not 100% sure, to be honest with you.

I know his name's Ronnie but perhaps it's why I've got mixed up.

Something Arthur Fletcher it is but I can't think of his first name.

I always remember whenever I have watched it,

I only remember just Fletch. That's all I remember.

I think it's either Ronald, Sidney or something like that.

Ken said Arthur is his middle name and that, for some reason,

that name strikes a bell with me.

So, I'm going to go with Arthur as his first name.

So, I'm going to go with Arthur.

What is the first name of the character known as Fletch

played by Ronnie Barker in the TV sitcom Porridge?

Ross, you're saying it's Arthur. Are you right?

Norman is the answer.

-Sorry.

-No, it's OK.

"Norman Stanley Fletcher, you are a habitual criminal,"

was the line you're looking for.

It's the recording of the judge passing down sentence

at the beginning of every episode.

So, no score for you there, Ross. It's still 3-2 to you, Jude.

Here's your fourth question.

Geographical question.

I'm going to go with Lucy. Hi.

-Hello there.

-I'm thinking Southeast Asia.

I'm thinking sort of Thailand or somewhere in that area.

I feel this is something I should really know.

Geography is usually one of my really good subjects

and I do travel quite a bit.

I think The King And I was set there but...

If you know your musicals and you're dancy, maybe.

I know the dancing bits but not the musicals so much.

I'm still erring on the Thailand...

So I'll stick with Thailand.

Fingers crossed for you.

Which country was known as Siam until 1939?

Jude is saying it's Thailand.

Thailand it is, well done.

Yes! Well done. Well done.

-You've been there, you've eaten the soup...

-I know!

But I couldn't remember the Siam bit.

It's 4-2 to Jude.

Ross, this means you do have to get this answer right

in order to stay in the game.

So, here's your fourth question.

-You've just got Diane to help you here.

-OK.

He was in The Revenant and he was really a major role in that.

The only one I can think of is he was in another one where he was...

-What's the other one?

-Two brothers...

No, I think more The Revenant.

-I think it's The Revenant.

-Yeah.

-The Revenant?

-Yeah.

HE REPEATS QUESTION

You're saying The Revenant. This is to stay in the game, Ross.

You have to get this one right.

MUSIC BUILDS TO CRESCENDO

And you're right, The Revenant it is. Well done.

It was for best supporting actor that he got the nomination.

The other film of course in which he had two roles

-was about the Kray twins, wasn't it?

-The twins, that was it.

So, well done. This is the fifth question now, OK?

There are no Think Tankers left to help you out,

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

Jude, you lead 4-3.

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

OK.

It's my strong point because I've been there, I'm afraid.

It's Istanbul.

Istanbul. OK, came to that one very quickly.

Constantinople is a former name of which city?

To win the game, you're saying Istanbul.

MUSIC BUILDS TO CRESCENDO

It is Istanbul, you're right!

Congratulations, Jude,

-you are today's winner, well done.

-Thank you.

Constantinople, named after the emperor Constantine,

that was Byzantium before that, but well done getting that.

Commiserations, Ross, you played very well

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

apart from the memory of a walk in the forest of intellect...

-..that is the Think Tank.

-Thanks very much.

-Thanks very much for being with us, well done.

-Thanks.

Jude is our winner. You're definitely taking home your prize

of £1,600 and shortly you'll have the chance to add an extra £1,000

-to your winnings.

-OK.

First though, shall we congratulate the Think Tanker

who gave the most correct answers during the show? And it was...

..Captain Max! APPLAUSE

Well done!

Something to tell the grandchildren about after all, Max.

Jude, you have one last chance then to seriously boost your prize,

as you face our Question Impossible.

Jude, this is the toughest question of the whole show

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

If you can achieve what none of them could and give us a correct answer,

that extra £1,000 will be yours, OK?

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

Have a think about that while we give you some help

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

-OK.

..that the Think Tank gave and this will rule some things out for you.

Iain Duncan Smith, Gordon Brown, Michael Howard,

Tony Blair, Imran Khan and Bill Clinton.

So, six names you can rule out as former political leaders

who once played a ghost in a Pakistani soap opera.

What do you think?

Well, Imran Khan was kind of

in my mind obviously cos he's from Pakistan

and has dabbled in politics as well as cricket.

-I've got a name in my mind.

-Hm-hm.

It's...a vague one. I'm not convinced

it's right but I can't think of anybody else.

Benazir Bhutto.

Benazir Bhutto you're thinking of

as the former political leader who once played a ghost

in a Pakistani soap opera.

Jude, this is for £1,000.

So, if you're right, you'll be taking home £2,600.

You're saying Benazir Bhutto.

-Fingers crossed for you.

-OK, thank you.

-Let's have a look.

TENSE MUSIC PLAYS

It's Alex Salmond.

-Can you believe it?

-Never. I would never have got that.

No. That's very random.

The soap opera was called Castle and it was produced by a friend

and SNP supporter.

Of course he was a former leader of the Scottish National Party

-and he said he asked Sean Connery for advice on the role.

-Really?

Yeah, I know.

-That's random.

-Out of nowhere, that question, really, isn't it?

That's why we call it the Question Impossible.

-Absolutely.

-So, I'm sorry you didn't conquer that.

-OK, no worries.

You're still leaving with £1,600,

-which will help you with singing lessons...

-Absolutely.

-..possibly cheese-making lessons.

-Yes.

-You could have a third career.

-I could.

-As a singing cheese-maker.

-I could

and link up with Cleve.

Link up with Cleve, yeah. He'd be happy to come along. All right.

-So, well done, thanks for being with us.

-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 the Thinkers...

-ALL:

-Bye!

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