Episode 11 Think Tank

Meet our Think Tank.

They've answered hundreds of general knowledge questions

under exam conditions before the show.

Their answers are in, but how helpful will they be

to the three contestants?

Playing the game are Rina,

a recruitment consultant from north-west London,

Yvonne, a retired maths teacher from Nuneaton,

and Andy, an occupational therapy assistant from Cheshire.

This is Think Tank.

Welcome to the show.

Welcome, as ever, to our Think Tank,

our panel that represent all four corners of the United Kingdom.

We have our Scottish creative director, Mark,

former engineer and proud Welshman Len,

Northern Irish make-up artist Jordan,

and others hailing from London to Leeds,

so, between them, at least they should have

their geography questions covered.

Yeah...

Lovely to see all three of you here.

Rina, have you done a lot of research

to come on the programme? I like reading books

and watching a few films -

mainly Harry Potter, to be honest.

I think that would be one of my favourite subjects.

What are your other passions?

I go to the gym. I like spinning five times a week.

I am more stable on a stationary bike than a moving bike!

I have not tried it myself,

but when I have heard of those spinning classes...

they don't seem very relaxing. They're quite intense.

They are quite intense.

But once you get in the groove of things...

it's a... It's a good laugh.

Rina, lovely to have you with us.

Yvonne, you were a maths teacher.

Now that you have retired, what do you do?

I do a lot of voluntary work.

I drive a 72-foot narrow boat for the disabled,

which was built from HMS Coventry by apprentices.

That takes a lot of parking, doesn't it, 72 feet?

I can't do it.

I can't do parallel parking in a car,

never mind a 72-foot narrow boat!

So what do you do?

I hand it over to the boys. OK. LAUGHTER

A lot of people like films as their best subject.

Would that be good for you?

I certainly like films

and there are certain films I like more than others.

Which ones are they?

Well, of course, there would be one called Monsters.

There would be one called Godzilla. Really? Why is that?

Because my son has directed them.

Ah! Marvellous.

Your son is really a film director of big movies, is he?

He certainly is, Bill, yes. Gareth Edwards.

Does he take you to all the openings, the premieres?

Of course he does, yes.

That's something, isn't it? Walking up the red carpet?

It certainly is. That was an amazing...

Yes, being on the red carpet.

And everybody wondering, "Who's she?"

LAUGHTER

They'll know now!

They'll know now, after you've been on Think Tank.

Lovely to have you with us, Yvonne.

Andy, you are an occupational therapy assistant.

So who do you help?

People within their own homes who have got a health condition

or disability.

Mm-hm. What is your big passion in life?

Movies. I'm obsessed with films -

in a nerdy way.

Just how nerdy?

So, I make a big long list at the end of the year

to say which films are the best, in my opinion.

Is it a top 10 sort of thing?

Top 100, usually. Top 100?

I try to watch 100 films from each year.

Have you got any time for anything else in your life?

Um... Yeah, I spend a lot of time with my family.

I've got children,

and we all love the Chuckle Brothers.

To me, to you? To me... Yeah.

To me, to you. To you.

We've got a pair of Chuckle Brothers here, actually.

Len and Ken.

LAUGHTER

So, obviously, film is going to be your best subject.

Yeah, definitely.

All right. And what do you need help on? Flags.

I think Arminel is good at flags, aren't you?

Yes. I have four sons

and we have an excellent flags game,

which is brilliant for learning the flags really well. Right.

Plus, you get an extra mark

if you can get the capital of the country right.

If you had Mark with you, you'd get all the capitals right,

because Mark is very good at geography,

aren't you, Mark? Yeah. Maybe we could team up. We could.

I'm looking forward to my invite to dinner and flag game.

LAUGHTER

OK. Great to have you all with us.

Welcome to the programme.

Now, over three rounds, our contestants will try

to tap into the knowledge of the Think Tank

to build up as much money as possible.

Don't forget, they have tried to answer all the questions

to the best of their ability, whether right or wrong.

The two highest scorers go through to the final.

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

So, let's play the first round.

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 is always there somewhere,

but also any number of mistakes in the mix.

Pick out the right answer and ?200 will be added to your prize fund.

You get two questions each.

Rina, you are first,

so here is the question we put to the Think Tank.

What did the Think Tank serve up for this? Arminel?

A very tasty selection, Rina. Which one would you choose?

Um...my travels have actually taken me to Argentina,

so I have heard of something called

dulce de leche,

which is like a caramel syrup.

I'm thinking that could maybe be something creamy.

I am going to go with rice pudding, please.

Rice pudding.

What is the English equivalent of the Spanish dessert

called arroz con leche?

You're saying it's rice pudding.

Have you chosen correctly?

You have indeed. Well done.

Rice pudding, it is.

And it literally means "rice with milk".

Bang on the money there.

?200 for you, Rina.

Yvonne, we come to you for your first question.

Here we go.

Let's see what the Think Tank thought on this one.

Three for James, and a couple of other...

interesting selections there, Yvonne.

Right, Bill. I don't think I'm going to go for Captain,

Clifford, John or Left.

The ones I am being drawn to is James and Edward,

because my son's middle name is James

and his surname is Edwards,

so it's got to be one of those two.

I think I am going to go for James.

James is your answer.

In Peter Pan, what is Captain Hook's first name?

Is it James?

It is. Well done.

Lost his hand, Captain Hook, of course,

to a crocodile. Yes.

Ken, interesting, interesting.

I see where you're going there with that one.

Left. Well, I thought...

it was either Left or his brother, Right.

From the Uppercut family.

Right, OK.

Well done to you, Yvonne. ?200 for your prize fund.

Andy, here is your first question.

Where did the Think Tank go with this?

Some choices more likely than others there, Andy. Yeah.

Um... I don't think it is you, Bill,

because, as far as I know,

I don't think you've been a sports commentator.

You know how to wound a man.

LAUGHTER

Um... I have narrowed it down in my head,

between Clare Balding and Gary Lineker,

just because those are the two I know.

I'm going to go with Gary Lineker, though.

Gary Lineker is your answer.

In a 2016 poll by the BBC,

who was named as the nation's favourite sports commentator?

Was it Gary Lineker?

It was John Motson. John Motson.

I should have listened to Cleve, shouldn't I?

He has been commentating on football since the early 1970s.

Anisha? Yes, Bill.

On the money in a certain respect,

because I have done football commentary.

I commentate on the Wycombe Wanderers' home games.

Oh! But not very well.

I'm sure you do. You just don't give yourself enough credit.

No, honestly. What happens is... I say, "It's a goal!

"Smith has scored."

And then, fortunately,

I've got a very good co-commentator who says,

"Well, excellent work by Jones to put it in the back of the net",

"Well, excellent work by Jones to put it in the back of the net",

without telling me that I've got it stupidly wrong.

Anyway, all right.

Andy, nothing for you there, but plenty of other chances to come.

Rina, we come back to you for your second question.

Rina, we come back to you for your second question.

Where did the Think Tank go with that one? Arminel?

Well, The Hype gets half of the Think Tank's opinions there,

but there are some others there as well.

This was a little bit before my time.

I was actually born in '88.

So you can't blame me for not knowing!

I think The Hype has got a lot of people rooting for it,

and, with Cleve being the musician that he is,

I think I am going to put my backing in The Hype.

The Hype. OK.

Complete the title of Public Enemy's 1988 UK Top 20 single,

"Don't Believe...The Hype". Is it?

Let's see.

The Hype is correct.

Len, rather unromantic answer,

"Don't Believe In Love".

I am a romantic person at heart, but I just thought that,

with a name like Public Enemy, I thought...

LAUGHTER

What's the most romantic thing you have ever done?

Coming home one evening from out with the boys,

and my wife was sat across the other side of the street -

we lived on the same street - and I went across to talk to her.

That's where it all started. Really. Aw! Really?

That's where the spark started. You walked across the street?

And that is the most romantic thing you ever done?

It was the cheapest thing I'd ever done!

Well, you're lucky she didn't cross the street the other way.

OK, well done, Rina.

?200 for you.

Yvonne, your second question coming up. Thank you.

What have the Think Tank made of that one? Arminel?

Well, you're good at maths.

I'd like to say that, obviously, it's not going to be two, Mark.

I don't know of any shape that has two sides,

unless you would like to enlighten me?

It was a long day.

So I am going to go for 20.

20, you say. Yes.

How many sides does an icosagon have?

Your answer is 20.

Have you counted up the right total?

20 it is. Well done.

Jordan and Arminel got it right.

Arminel, of course, as a teacher,

you'd kind of be expected to get it right.

Do you feel extra pressure now that you are here in the Think Tank?

On something like that, yes, I do.

But, actually, I got it right

because there is a chemical called icosane,

and I know that is 20.

Gosh, that's brilliant.

Jordan, how did you know that?

Well, my brother and I used to have this computer game

where you had to catch fish,

and it told you what all the different fish were called -

like, what shape they were.

So, if they had six sides, they were hexagon fish.

My brother and I then got interested

in the side numbers of different shapes,

and so we looked it up when we were, like,

eight years old. Cool child(!)

LAUGHTER

Hey, but it has paid off.

Useful... Stuck in the head. Stuck in your head. Well done. OK.

?200 for you, Yvonne,

and, Andy, we come to you for your second question.

What have the Think Tank served up for this one? Arminel?

So, half of the Think Tank's pizza going to Naples

but there are some other choices to be made as well.

I have no idea myself,

so I am just looking at who might eat the most pizzas!

LAUGHTER

Um...I'll just go with the majority again, on Naples.

Naples.

Which Italian city, the capital of the Campania region,

claims to be the birthplace of the pizza?

You are saying Naples.

Let's see if you're right.

You are indeed. Naples is correct.

And legend has it that the Margherita pizza

was originally invented because of the visit of an Italian queen,

Margherita.

?200 for you, Andy.

That brings us to the end of the first round.

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

Andy has ?200, but in the lead, and tied on ?400,

are Rina and Yvonne.

That could all change in our next round.

Every member of the Think Tank is holding two questions

which they answered correctly before the show.

So, you are going to take it in turns to pick someone

from the Tank whose knowledge you think you can match -

for every correct answer,

another ?200 is added to your prize fund.

The range of questions

reflects their varied interests and knowledge,

and, once a Think Tank has asked both of their questions,

they can't be picked again.

Rina, you get to go first.

The whole bunch to choose from -

with whom do you want to form a knowledge alliance?

I am going to go with Jordan, please.

Our make-up artist, Jordan.

This is a Disney question.

The Disney film featuring classical music

with Mickey Mouse as the sorcerer's apprentice.

Disney is not a strong point.

1940, as well - it is quite far back.

Wild guess - Mickey In The Clubhouse.

Mickey In The Clubhouse.

I'm afraid it's not. It's Fantasia.

Fantasia. OK. Never heard of it.

Includes music by Bach, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky,

among others.

OK, nothing for you there, Rina, I'm afraid.

Yvonne, you're up next, and you can still choose

any one of the eight.

OK. I think I'm going to choose Lucy,

with her love of dancing.

Ah...

Well, as you know, I teach dance,

but my dance school breaks each summer,

and, each summer, I like to take up a random hobby,

and one thing I got particularly obsessed with

was ten-pin bowling.

So I know the answer to this, and if you've been bowling,

hopefully you will, too. OK.

The term referring to knocking down all the pins

with the first ball at ten-pin bowling.

I have played ten-pin bowling

and I have not had many of those,

so I know what they are called, because everybody else gets them!

I think it's called a strike. A strike?

Struck it lucky - well done! Very good.

Well, apart from taking dancing lessons,

you should take ten-pin bowling lessons from Lucy,

because you had a perfect game once, didn't you?

I did, yes. Wow. Only once. You only need one. Only need one.

And then, once I'd figured I had done that,

I was like, "OK, I'm over bowling now.

"I've done that." OK.

?200 for you, Yvonne, and, Andy, we come to you,

and the entire Think Tank to choose from.

I think I'm going to choose Anisha,

because I think she is into her music,

and, hopefully, it will be some old music that I know about.

Our office assistant Anisha.

Hi, Andy. Hi. It's not about music. Oh. At all.

It's actually about Cockney rhyming slang.

I remember being in Year 8 and we learnt about it,

and this was the only one that stuck in my head.

So, the question is...

The Cockney rhyming slang for "lie".

Is a pork pie?

Pork pie?

It is pork pie. Well done, Andy.

Cherry pie also occasionally used.

But telling porkies, people say now, don't they? Indeed, yes.

Your question was about Cockney rhyming slang.

London - is that where you're from? Well, I'm from Essex.

I do say I'm a Londoner but, really, I'm not.

You are a Greater Londoner, maybe. Greater London, exactly. All right.

?200, then, Andy, for your running total.

We come back to you, Rina.

You can still choose anyone.

I will go for my fellow Londoner-not-Londoner, Anisha.

I'm really happy you chose me, Rina,

because I think we are of the same age,

so you'll definitely know this.

This is a music-related question.

Which pop singer changed her image with the 2002 single Dirrty?

I think the answer to that is Christina Aguilera.

Christina Aguilera.

Indeed it is. Well done.

Deliberately misspelled the word "dirty", did she?

Dirrty. Dirrty. Dirrty. Yeah.

Rina, ?200 to you. Thank you.

Yvonne, anyone but Anisha.

I think I'm going to ask Ken

because of his experience with travel.

Ken, of course, our retired holiday rep.

Well, I think you will get this one.

This lady was one of my favourites,

who sadly passed away very recently.

Cilla Black's original surname.

What's really nice, I think I do know this one,

so I am really happy about this.

It's the opposite to what her stage name was,

so I am going to go straight in for White.

White.

Yes, correct answer. Thank you.

Cilla Black, originally Priscilla White,

had number one hits in the UK

with Anyone Who Had A Heart and You're My World.

Well remembered. She did.

?200 for you, Yvonne, and, Andy, we come to you.

Anisha is ruled out, but you can still choose anyone else.

In the hope of having a music question, I'll try Cleve.

You might be glad you asked me this,

because you are a bit of a film man, as well.

Yes. This is to do with...

Not directly to do with music, but a musical film.

The first names of the Blues Brothers in the 1980 film.

Jake and who?

It's one of my favourite films, be in my top 20.

He's played by Dan Aykroyd.

It's Elwood - Jake and Elwood.

Elwood? Put it at the top of the top 20.

It's Jake and Elwood. That's right.

It was indeed played by Dan Aykroyd,

and his brother Jake was played by John Belushi. OK.

?200 to you, Andy.

Rina, back to you.

Still seven of the eight, just not Anisha.

I think I will take a go with Len, please.

Right, well, I haven't had much luck in the other rounds,

but I know I've got this one right.

The word for a young goose.

I have been reading stories with my little niece

and, unfortunately, this isn't one of the ones that I've read.

I know the duck and the duckling.

Um...goosling?

So, you're going with goosling? Yeah. Goosling, Len?

Gosling, I'm sorry.

Gosling. Sorry, it has to be gosling, not goosling.

Just one "O" too many for you there. Yeah.

And the males are called ganders. Yes. OK.

So, nothing for you there, Rina. Yvonne, we come to you.

Still almost everybody to choose from, just not Anisha.

I'm sorry, I'm going for Len as well,

but that's because of his Welsh background.

Don't be sorry. I think it's going to bring me some luck.

I'm sure you will get this one now.

The official host of the 2015 Rugby Union World Cup.

Which nation? It was the UK, wasn't it?

I believe.

I'm going to get this wrong now.

I'm going to say it was in England, wasn't it?

Your answer? England...uh, UK.

UK, you're saying? Yeah.

UK. Len?

Should have stuck with England.

Well, isn't it the same?

I'm really sorry, Yvonne.

You said UK, but it had to be more specific - England.

You danced across it, but you plumped for the wrong one.

I went for the whole country, rather than...

Yeah. ..part of the country.

Indeed. Sorry about that. OK.

Nothing for you there. Andy, we come to you.

Anisha and Len now ruled out.

OK. I'm going to go for Jordan, just because...

I don't know what Jordan knows, but we'll find out.

Well, I do love films but, unfortunately,

it isn't a film question.

Hopefully, you may have come across

the odd fashion magazine in your time.

So the question is...

Well, I don't need to narrow it down,

because I can only think of one.

It's not my knowledge, this.

Vogue? Vogue?

It's lucky you HAVE been reading fashion magazines!

It is Vogue!

It's OK to admit it. It's fine.

You know, lots of us read fashion magazines.

You might know this - in the film The Devil Wears Prada,

the character Miranda Priestly

is often said to be loosely based on Anna Wintour.

Yeah, not seem that, but... Ah...

Be in the top 100 in the year it came out.

Not for you, though. OK.

?200 for you, Andy. Well done.

That brings us to the end of the round.

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

Rina is on ?600,

in the lead, and tied on ?800, Yvonne and Andy.

You chose three questions each,

but you didn't choose to hear from Arminel and Mark.

We don't want them to feel left out

or to show off their good knowledge.

So how about we get Mark to ask his question. Mark?

My question is...

So, just for fun, and you might know this one at home,

which plant is considered to be the national emblem of Scotland?

Any thoughts?

Not entirely sure.

Very prickly question, that one, I think. Ah-ha! Yes.

Thistle.

Absolutely, the thistle.

Well done.

Thanks, Mark, for sharing that with us.

Let's get back to the competition.

Well, one of you is going to have to leave the game shortly,

but there is still a chance for any of you to take the lead,

and, Rina, you can still catch up.

All of you will now be asked the same question.

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

that they gave before the show and their reason for doing so.

Only one of them will have the right answer.

Side with the correct person, ?200 is added to your prize fund.

Just five questions remain, though,

before we have to say goodbye to one of you,

so choose your answers carefully, OK? Here's the first question.

Answers coming up from Arminel and Jordan. Arminel?

I rejected the idea of a full English,

because it is too time-consuming, and in this day and age,

we need something that is easier to deal with

and also that possibly puts on a few fewer calories.

So I decided it was coffee and a croissant,

which is my favourite breakfast. Jordan?

I actually thought the opposite.

I sort of decided, if I was voting for my favourite of something,

I wouldn't necessarily be thinking of convenience

or what I would generally have,

which would be cereal or toast.

I thought, "What's a really indulgent breakfast?"

So I thought it would actually be the full English.

All right.

What are you going to plump for? Lock in your answers, please.

And let's see which dish you have chosen.

So, Rina has gone for coffee and croissant,

Yvonne and Andy have chosen the full English.

Who's right?

It's the full English.

So, not quite the right answer, Arminel,

as healthy and tasty as it might be.

Bacon sandwich came second, tea and toast third,

porridge fourth.

Well done to Yvonne and Andy, ?200 each.

So here we come with our next question.

Ken and Cleve having a go at this. Ken?

I found this difficult,

because I'm not a great football fan,

but, as a child, I used to go to Newcastle every year,

and I believe...thinking how sad it was that they were relegated.

So my team would be Newcastle United.

Cleve? Whereas I agreed to a degree with my esteemed colleague,

Aston Villa are one of the few clubs

that have been in the Premier League

and not been relegated at all up to this point,

including time in the old first division,

so I am pretty sure they have been flirting with danger

for a couple of years, but I am pretty sure it was Aston Villa. OK.

Contestants, make your choice, please.

Which team have you come up with?

All three of you say it was Aston Villa.

Are you right?

Absolutely, Aston Villa it is.

Not only did they get relegated,

Aston Villa also sacked two managers in the season,

Tim Sherwood and Remi Garde.

Ken, actually, you were right, in a sense.

Newcastle were relegated,

but not for the first time in 29 years,

so that was the difference. OK.

So, ?200 to all of you,

and we come to question number three.

Lucy and Len to have a go at this one. Lucy?

I'd like to say that I had some kind of Latin knowledge

which led me to my answer but, sadly, I don't.

I was thinking of common iconic trees

that you might associate with Britain and, for me,

that would be the oak

and I felt that perhaps the reason for that was because

it's, you know, very prolific across the UK,

so I went with oak.

Len? Well, I think you have got it will be wrong there,

because my answer is the ash tree,

and the reason is,

the ash tree, the actual seeds, they are airborne,

so they spread far and wide.

And whenever you see a barren piece of land

start to regenerate, you'll see these long shoots

start to appear and, generally, nine times out of ten,

they are ash trees, and my answer is ash. OK.

Contestants, please lock in your answers.

Rina and Yvonne say it's the oak. Andy has gone with the ash.

Who's right?

It's the oak.

Well done to Rina and Yvonne.

?200 to you, Andy, you stay as you were.

We move on to question number four.

Arminel and Mark. Arminel?

Well, I am by no means a music expert.

I do know that Bon Jovi is a US rock band.

I do know that that's round about the right time.

I do know that they are popular, but not hugely well known,

so I thought, well, no number ones,

but lots in the top ten,

but not necessarily number one.

Mark?

I went from Guns N' Roses.

Again, I'm pretty sure they were formed in the 1980s.

I think they had about four or five reasonably successful albums,

which probably would generate around about 18 UK top ten singles,

and also, there are quite a few famous songs,

really good songs, that went to number two and were kept off by,

let's say, rather dubious songs...

I think Guns N' Roses may be in that bracket. OK.

The choice is yours now, contestants. Please lock them in.

Which band have you gone with?

You've all gone for Guns N' Roses.

Are you right?

It was Bon Jovi. How?!

Brilliantly done, Arminel.

No, you just worked it out.

That is one of the great things about being in the Think Tank.

You may not know it automatically,

but you can get there through a series of steps, so...

Wonderful. Thank you.

Guns N' Roses actually had 12 UK top ten singles.

So, nothing for any of you there.

We come to the final question in this round.

Answers from Anisha and Len. Anisha?

So, I went with Australasia,

the reason being is, I have a friend

who emigrated over to Australia a few years ago.

When she came back to visit, she said it was really weird,

putting on normal moisturiser. I was like, "Why is that?"

Because when you're in Australia, all she puts on the sunblock.

Basically, they have a hole in their ozone.

So I was like, "It has got to be pretty high."

So I went with Australasia. Len?

I've gone for Africa

because, one, you've got the Sahara Desert,

which is the largest desert in the world,

and for many years, they have always had droughts there.

It's a barren place. So I think it's Africa. OK.

What is your choice, contestants?

All three of you have gone for Africa.

Let's see if you're right.

Africa it is. Well done.

The hottest average temperature in the world was recorded

in Ethiopia.

33.9 degrees centigrade

as an average... Average. Wow.

..across the year.

?200 to all of you. Well done.

That brings us to the end of the main game.

Let's take a look at your totals.

Yvonne is in the lead with ?1,600,

followed by Andy with ?1,4000.

Trailing behind with ?1,200 is Rina.

So, sadly, we have to say goodbye to you, Rina.

But that ?1,200 is a very good score.

You were up against very good competition today.

Sorry. Thank you. Have you enjoyed being with us?

It's been brilliant. Thank you. Thanks very much.

Well done, Yvonne and Andy.

You two will now compete

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

Yvonne, if you win today, what would you like to do with your prize?

I will put some towards going on a cruise down the Amazon

because I've always liked the idea

of going to see all the animals, et cetera.

And the other would be to have some private lessons

to learn to do the Argentina tango and dance with you, Bill.

The Argentina tango? Ooh!

Yes. Oh, I see. Who's going to give you the private lessons?

Maybe Lucy will. Oh, I say. I'd be up for that.

I need lessons for the Argentina tango as well! I have to tell you.

Andy, what would you do with your winnings?

Well, all my children are growing up now.

The youngest is 15, the eldest is 22. 22?

You don't look old enough to have... I'm double that age. Are you really?

44. Wow.

So it'd be nice to take them on one last, like,

family holiday before they've all got families of their own.

So I'd like to do that.

For myself I'd like to buy a vinyl record player,

start playing all the vinyl again. Fantastic.

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

I'm going to ask you five questions each.

Whoever gives the most correct answers takes home the money

they've built up so far.

Not on your own, though.

Because the Think Tankers are still here to lend you a hand if they can.

You can choose someone to consult with before you tackle a question.

Each member, though, can only be picked once this time.

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

is that they have not seen any of these questions before.

OK?

Let's play the final, then.

Yvonne, you built up the most money in the game,

so we start the final with you. Here's your first question.

Who would you like to go with on that one?

Well, I certainly have no idea myself.

My grandchildren aren't old enough yet to teach me all this music.

So I'm going to go with Cleve, please,

to help me out. Cleve.

I should know this.

And I can see the young man, but his name is just...

escaped my head for a little bit.

Er, he's got one of those names that those young people have, you know.

Do you know what he looks like? Proper pop name.

You said you can see him. Describe him, then.

He's got some big glasses - sometimes he wears 'em. Oh, my gosh.

Um, oh, my goodness.

No idea. I am so...

I'll say Joe Black.

Joe Black? Yes. I'm really sorry.

That's OK, Cleve. I had no idea myself.

I going to kick myself with this one cos I know I've seen it.

I've listened to him. Joe Black. Joe Black is your answer.

Pass Out and Written In The Stars -

UK hit singles for which musical artist? You're saying Joe Black.

Who is it?

Tinie Tempah.

You are kicking yourself, aren't you?

I just couldn't get his name. That's fine. It's not like a proper name.

It's not like a proper name, like Elvis. Tinie Tempah.

His real name is Patrick Okogwu. Right.

So, sorry, Yvonne.

Andy, your chance to move off with your first question.

Who could help you here? I don't know the answer.

But I'm trying to think who might be able to help.

For some reason I'm going to ask Mark to help me.

I have a feeling he's well travelled.

I think there was a big race to the South Pole on here between...

a Norwegian team and Scott of the Antarctic. Right.

And I think Scott of the Antarctic came up a little bit short.

And I'm pretty sure that

he was the first person to reach the South Pole.

That sounds good to me. I'll go for South Pole.

South Pole is your answer. In 1911

Roald Amundsen became the first man to reach which destination?

You're saying South Pole. Are you in the right place?

South Pole it is. Well done

And as Mark correctly pointed out,

he got there shortly before Captain Scott's ill-fated exhibition.

So, 1-0 to you, Andy. Yvonne, here's your second question.

Who can help you here? I think Len can help me out here, please.

Do you know anything about Formula One? Not a great deal.

No.

Eddie, Eddie... I can't think of his full name.

I think it's the guy...

I can see the guy with the beard now... I think it is. Um...

Think now, Len, think, think, think.

Not a Formula One fan, so...

And I've never watched Top Gear either, so...

I'm struggling with this one. I think...

We'll say...Leary O'Connell.

LAUGHTER

Leary O'Connell.

Which Irish former owner

of a Formula One team became a Top Gear presenter in 2016?

Your answer, Yvonne, is Leary O'Connell.

Let's see if you're right.

Eddie Jordan. Oh! I could see the beard. You could see him

and you had his first name. Just couldn't quite get there. Yeah.

He ran the Jordan Racing team from 1991 to 2005. So... Right.

Another wrong answer for you, Yvonne.

Andy, here's your second question.

TV question for you.

Who would you like to go with you here?

I'm going to pick Lucy. Lucy.

People keep coming to me for TV.

But I only owned one since the last eight months.

Now, I am familiar with The Office

but not specifically writers of.

I do know the answer. Oh, hooray!

LAUGHTER Yes!

I feel absolved! He's got something in common with you.

He's very tall. Yeah.

It's Stephen Merchant.

Stephen Merchant is your answer? Yeah.

With whom did Ricky Gervais right the sitcoms The Office and Extras?

Stephen Merchant, you say. Let's see if you're right.

It is Stephen Merchant. Well done.

Stephen Merchant also had a role in The Office and in Extras as well.

Very funny guy. OK, so 2-0 to Andy.

Yvonne, you've got a bit of catching up to do, but you can still do it.

Here's your third question.

Half of the Think Tank left to choose from -

Arminel, Anisha, Jordan or Ken.

I was going to go for Arminel, please. Arminel.

Excellent.

Do you know the answer? Well, I can see it. Yes. I've seen it.

I think it's Angel of the North. But...

I think it's Angel of the North as well. Yes. Yes. I can't...

I mean, Agent of the North is certainly by Antony Gormley.

It is certainly up north.

We'll go for Angel of the North, please. Angel of the North.

Which famous statue created by Antony Gormley stands at

the head of the Team Valley in the northeast of England?

Your answer is Angel of the North. Yes. Have you chosen correctly?

You have. Angel of the North it is. Well done.

And it is, of course, as you described,

angelic figure with arms outstretched.

Very impressive it is, too.

OK, you're off the mark, Yvonne.

2-1 to you still, Andy. Here is your third question.

Anisha Jordan or Ken. I'm going to ask Jordan.

I'm really glad that you asked me

cos I actually do know the answer. Do you?

Do you have any idea? I don't.

I should know - from around that era - but I can't,

I just can't think. Solange... Well..

Solange's sister is the ultimate diva

and icon for modern women, I believe. And it is Beyonce.

Thank you. I'll go for Beyonce. Beyonce.

Which famous singer born on September 4th 1981,

has a sister named Solange?

You're saying it's Beyonce? Yeah.

Let's see if you're right.

It is Beyonce. Well done. Thank you.

3-1 to Andy, which means,

Yvonne, that you have

to get this one right to stay in the competition.

OK? Here it is, then.

Anisha or Ken to help you.

Anisha, I think, I might go with you.

OK... Hoping you have some information on this,

cos I have very little.

I'm going to have to dig deep.

Basically, The Social Network is about the guy who made Facebook.

Right. So... Do you know the guy who...? Mark Zuckerberg.

Just say it, just say it. Mark Zuckerberg. Before it goes.

Say it again. Mark Zuckenberg?

Basically, have you seen the film?

No, I haven't. OK, it's about Facebook. My son didn't direct that.

I haven't... LAUGHTER

It's about Facebook.

So Mark Zuckenberg is the founder and creator of Facebook.

And Jesse plays him.

I'll say Mark Zuckenberg.

Mark Zuckenberg is your answer? Yes.

Which man does Jesse Eisenberg

play in the 2010 film The Social Network?

Your answer is Mark Zuckenberg.

And this is to stay... Yes. ..in the competition.

If you're wrong, then Andy will be our winner today.

The answer is, in fact, Mark Zuckerberg,

not Zuckenberg.

But our adjudicator has had a look at it and decided it's close enough.

Close. So, off the post and in I think we call that. OK.

All right. So, Andy, still 3-2 to you.

If you get this question right, you will be the winner today.

Just Ken to help you here.

OK. I'll choose Ken, then.

I think it's got to be Le Mans. Le Mans, yeah.

Perfect, thank you.

I'll go for Le Mans.

You've gone to that very quickly. Yeah. Le Mans.

Which city in the northwest of France hosts

an annual 24-hour car race first held in 1923?

This to win today's competition.

You're saying it's Le Mans. Let's see if you're right.

Le Mans it is. Congratulations, Andy.

You are today's winner. Well done.

And in a typical Le Mans race,

the cars these days travel an average of about 3,000 miles.

So they go a long way indeed.

Well, Yvonne, you came a long way,

just didn't quite make the full distance, I'm afraid.

Well played, though.

Not taking anything home apart from the magnificent memory

of being alongside these guys a little while.

Thank you. Andy is our winner.

You will definitely be taking home your prize of ?1,400

and you'll shortly have the chance to add an extra ?1,000

to your winnings.

First, though, shall we take a moment to congratulate

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

Who could it possibly be?

It's Arminel. Well done.

Well done. Well done.

Textbook participation today. Well done.

Andy, you have one last chance now, seriously,

to boost your prize as you face our Question: Impossible.

Andy, well done, pretty straightforward for you, wasn't it?

Four questions, four correct answers. Yeah. Well done.

This is the toughest question of the whole show now.

No-one in the Think Tank got it right earlier.

So if you can achieve what none of them could and give us

the 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. We'll give you a bit of assistance.

We'll take a look at the wrong answers that the Think Tank

gave earlier, and this might help you rule

a few things out, OK? So here is what they came up with.

Zebra, rhino, elephant,

antelope, camel and buffalo.

It's none of those.

So what do you think it could be?

Right, I might have thought zebra, actually.

I seem to remember I used to have some

animal cards when I was a kid.

And the okapi was on it, it was mentioned, I'm sure it was.

So I think it is

a horse-type creature. But that's not an African mammal.

But the other thing I'm thinking of is anteater.

And I don't even know if an anteater is from Africa.

But I'm going to go with anteater, cos I don't know anything else.

Anteater. OK? Anteater is your answer.

The okapi, unknown to science until the early 20th century,

is most closely related to which of other African mammal?

So this is for extra ?1,000,

which will bring your prize fund to ?2,400.

You're saying anteater.

Let's see if you're right.

Giraffe. Of course!

Giraffe.

Did you have that on any of your cards when you were young?

We had giraffes, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Oh.

Still, you've won ?1,400. Thank you.

And so that'll pay for a holiday for the children. A nice holiday.

OK. And my vinyl. Excellent.

Perhaps not the vinyl as well, but you never know. OK.

Thanks for joining us. Thank you very much.

Well played, Andy, thank you. Thank you. Thanks for watching.

Do join us next time when three more contestants will see whether

they can bank on the Think Tank. Until then, it's goodbye from them.

Bye!

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