Episode 14 Think Tank

Our Think Tank have answered 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 Sue,

a retired grant officer from Rossendale in Lancashire...

Sarah, a supply teacher from Newtownards in County Down,

and Mick, a househusband from Crowland in Lincolnshire.

This is Think Tank.

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

They've taken to the dance floor in their time -

whether jiving like retiree Ken -

that, I'd like to see -

waltzing, like chemistry teacher Arminel,

or body-popping like waiter Peter and doctor Abi.

But which one of our three contestants will be dancing for joy later as

they depart with a cash prize?

Welcome to all three of you.

Sue, you are a retired grant officer.

What did you do? Well,

I helped assess applications for funding

from the good causes to access

the money raised by the National Lottery.

That's a nice job to have.

It's a very nice job.

Yes. I did it for 16 years.

Do you travel now that you're retired? I do indeed.

I part-own a narrow boat and I spend a lot of time on the boat,

travelling the canals of Britain.

How lovely. Do you like music?

I do indeed. Yes.

I'm a bit of a rock chick.

Are you indeed? Funnily enough. I might not look like one but,

deep in my heart, I love my AC/DC, Judas Priest and Black Sabbath.

Wow, so, you're a bit of a head-banger? I am indeed.

Yes. Their music's very, very loud.

Yes, well, as you get older, you need loud music.

LAUGHTER All right, well, good luck to you.

Sarah, nice to see you.

You're a supply teacher.

Now, that's a tough job cos it means you go and fill in when other

teachers can't make it, right?

Exactly. Right through from nursery, right up to year six.

Well, it's our primary seven.

So, no two days are the same, so it can have its challenges now but it's

good fun as well. So, how do you keep control of them?

I usually have to resort to clapping my hands or maybe just a bit of a

stern look, you know?

A stern look? Give us a stern look.

Oh! OK, right, let me try that on you.

Oh!

Scary(!)

Arminel, you're a teacher.

Yes. Do you do the stern look? Well, no,

cos I only teach A-level, you see,

and they're very willing to learn by then, thankfully.

Come on, you must have had a naughty student.

Oh, in the past, yes.

What did you do with them? I would probably do a stern look as well.

Come on, let's see your stern look.

All right. Sarah, what's your best subject?

I would say celebrity gossip, pop culture -

I read the celebrity magazines on a weekly basis - and also music.

I'm a big music fan, especially '80s and '90s pop music.

All right, and what are you not so good at?

I'm not very good at ancient history.

It sort of just tends to fall out of my head whenever I try and learn it.

Not very interested in that. Who can help her with the ancient history?

Oh, we love a bit of ancient history, Arminel and I do.

So, between the two of us, we can probably manage it.

I'm a bit closer to it in age!

Anyway, you're in good hands. All right. Nice to have you with us.

Mick, you're a househusband. You must be busy around the home, then.

Yeah, remodelling the kitchen at the moment and I've got a pizza oven half-built. A pizza oven?

The base of it. And the thought of the rest of it is there but...

When you're finished and you make some pizza,

you know who you can serve it for you, don't you? Absolutely. Peter.

Our pizza waiter, Peter.

Would you like garlic bread with that?

What is your best subject?

Probably sport. And music.

But again, not the music Sue likes.

Not the head-banging stuff, really. Anything except that, probably. OK.

And where will you need some assistance?

Politics, probably.

I don't know. Who would you ask?

I mean, I'm a little bit political.

I've got friends either side of the aisle so, usually,

when we go out to dinner, they're arguing across me.

I have to be a bit of a John Humphrys type,

try and keep everyone in order.

All right. Welcome to all three of you.

Over three rounds, our contestants are going to try to tap into the

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

Don't forget, they try to answer all the questions to the best of their

ability, whether right or wrong.

The two highest scorers will go through to the final.

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

So, shall we play the first round? Yes. Here we go.

So, 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's always there somewhere

but there are also any number of mistakes in there, too.

Pick out the right answer, ?200 is added to your prize fund.

You'll get two question each.

Sue, we're going to start with you.

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

Let's see where the Think Tank went with this one.

Starting with Len.

Half of them going with the Isle of Man

doesn't necessarily mean that they are right.

Sue, what do you think? Well, for the last two years,

I have taken my holidays on this island

and so I'm pretty confident that

the answer is the Isle of Man.

All right. The Isle of Man, you are pretty confident about.

Home to the Tynwald, said to be the oldest parliament in the world.

Let's see if you are right.

The Isle of Man, it is. Well done.

It is claimed that the Tynwald is more than 1,000 years old.

?200 for you, Sue, well done.

Sarah, here's your first question.

What did the Think Tank have to say about that?

Just two to choose from there.

You might as well flip a coin, if you don't know it.

That's it. Now, I'm not 100% sure on this one but,

whenever I first saw the question,

I did think Oliver Twist, and quite a lot of the Think Tank have also

gone with that. So, I think I'll go with my gut instinct and say,

Oliver Twist. Oliver Twist is your answer for the novel of which the

Parish Boy's Progress is the subtitle. Let's see if you're right.

Oliver Twist, it is. Well done.

Abi, well done. You got that right.

Reading was one of your hobbies as a child.

Do you still read a lot? Yes,

I pick up most of the sort of popular thrillers at the moment.

I recently read The Girl On The Train,

and that was absolutely fabulous.

So, I've gotten back into a few more things

and then just widening my reading range at the moment.

And, of course, being a doctor, you've got to read a lot

of medical literature too. Yes, it's just never ends.

Never ends. There's always something that people are coming up with and

lots of new research and stuff. It's all very fascinating.

It's just a lot to take in sometimes.

All right. Well done. And, Sarah, well done to you.

?200 is added to your prize fund.

Mick, here's your first question.

Where did the Think Tank go with this? Len.

Half of the Think Tank going for Switzerland. It could be somewhere

else. What do you think? Yeah, well, when it first came up,

it instantly made me think of the cartoon cheese that you see

mice running through, with the holes in it.

I hope I'm right,

I also hope I'm right in going with the majority, and I believe that is

from Switzerland. Switzerland is your answer

as the country from which Emmental cheese comes.

Let's see if you're right.

Yes, Switzerland it is indeed. Well done.

Sometimes called just "Swiss cheese" and famous for its holes.

Well done, Mick. ?200 for you.

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

Where did the Think Tank go with this? Len.

Oh, any number of creatures to choose from there.

What do you think? Lots of very nice animals there to choose from.

An animal that popped into my head,

for some unknown reason, when the question came up,

has appeared, and so I'm going to choose foxes.

Foxes is your answer, as the nickname

of Leicester City Football Club.

Have you chosen the right one?

Foxes is correct.

Len and Diane chose tigers, which is a Leicester nickname,

but for the rugby union team.

That's what I was thinking of. That's why it popped in my mind.

OK. Sue, ?200 for you.

Sarah, we come to you.

What did the Think Tank have to say about that?

Len.

Well, any number of languages to speak there.

What do you want to go with, Sarah? Well, when I first saw

the question, Polish was what came into my mind.

I've seen Polish language up a lot more than would see others

in different public places,

so I think I'll go with my gut instinct again and say,

Polish. OK, you're saying Polish is

the most commonly spoken language after English

and Welsh, according to the 2011 UK Census.

Let's see if you're on the right lines there.

Polish is correct. Well done.

It's a language spoken by more than 546,000 people in the UK.

Wow. So, Think Tankers, talented bunch that you are,

any of you speak any foreign languages?

Oui, monsieur. Italian! You're good at Italian!

So, French?

ARMINEL REPLIES

Goodness gracious, what is that?

Turkish. Is it?

Is it? Very good. Any more?

Si, hablo un poco espanol.

OK, Spanish. Si.

ABI REPLIES

Which means, "I can completely understand Tamil but I can only

"speak it a little bit." Tamil? Tamil? What an exotic bunch you are.

OK, Sarah, ?200.

Well done. Mick, here's your second question.

What did the Think Tank have to say about this?

Pretty broad cast to choose from there, Mick.

Indeed. I'm surprised to see Brian Griffin come up there.

I'm not sure... Isn't that a cartoon character...

He is. ..from Family Guy?

He is indeed. Unlikely to be him,

so I'm going to go for a guess, and I'm going to go...

I'm a big fan of Max's and I'm going to go with Max

and say Graham Chapman. Graham Chapman is your answer

as the Monty Python member who played Brian in Life Of Brian.

Let's see if you're right.

Well done. Graham Chapman, it was indeed.

Anisha, was this one of the answers that you hit later on in the day?

Yeah, it was later on in the day and I thought,

"I would love to go home and watch some Family Guy right now."

"Brian Griffin!"

Well, you had to answer hundreds of questions, didn't you?

Yep. You know. A lot. So, it's not surprising that,

just very occasionally, the wrong one might slip in there.

Maybe regularly for me.

OK. ?200 for you, Mick,

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

Let's take a look at your prize funds. You're all tied on ?400.

Very good.

So, neck and neck. Could change in the next round.

Every member of the Think Tank is holding two questions which they

answered correctly before the show.

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

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

another ?200 will be added to your prize fund.

The range of questions reflects their varied interests and knowledge.

Once a Think Tanker has asked both questions,

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

You have the pick of the bunch.

So, who's on the right track for you, do you think?

Ooh, choices, choices.

I'm going to go with Diane, Bill.

Our retired HR adviser Diane.

The reason I knew this question was that,

somewhere in my deep and distant past, I used to do lecturing.

Unfortunately, one of the subjects was, "How do children think and learn?"

And I didn't have a clue.

So, I started watching this particular quiz show

because it was aimed at children.

Which quiz show featured that phrase,

"Can I have a P, please, Bob?"

I can picture it and I used to watch it occasionally.

I know this is going to be the wrong answer

but it's the only thing I can think of.

I'm going to say Countdown.

Countdown is your answer.

Is it Countdown?

It's not, I'm sorry. It's Blockbusters.

Blockbusters. Yeah. You knew that, didn't you?

I did. You knew it.

And Blockbusters, hosted by Bob Holness from 1983 to 1995.

So, Sue, nothing for you there on that one, I'm afraid.

Sarah, you're up next.

You can still choose any one of the eight.

Well, Bill, I think they're a great bunch but I think maybe Anisha and I

are on the same level when it comes to pop culture and celebrity gossip,

and things like that. So, I'm going to choose Anisha.

Anisha, our office assistant.

Hey, Sarah. This isn't about any of those.

OK. This is about art, because I actually do like a little bit of art,

especially Surrealism.

So, hopefully...

No, no. We'll see, we'll see.

A self-portrait by Rene Magritte,

The Son Of Man, his face largely obscured by which type of fruit?

I've never heard of him, I have to be honest.

Whenever I heard the question, the first fruit that popped

into my mind, and it's my favourite fruit, I'll just go with it.

It's pineapple. Pineapple.

Oh, if you dropped the "pine" it would have been right

because it's apple. Oh.

Oh, well. Is that the picture

of somebody in a bowler hat with an apple in front of their face?

Yeah, that one. Yeah. So, sorry, Sarah.

Nothing for you there. Mick, you're next.

Let's see what you can do. Who would you like to choose?

My main man, Max.

Well, Mick, let's see if we can break the losing streak so far.

Obviously, I studied English at university so this is a bit

of a literature question. Maybe it's someone you've heard of.

TS Eliot, the author, born in which country?

Well, I don't know this one.

I know what he wrote. It's going to be a guess.

I'm going to guess...France.

France is your answer. It is a very solid guess.

Unfortunately not quite right.

It was the United States of America.

TS Eliot, author of The Waste Land

and Old Possum's Book Of Practical Cats,

from which the musical was taken. So, no money for you either, Mick.

We're sort of drawing a blank in this round so far, aren't we?

Sue, your choice again and you have the field to go with.

I'm going to try Ken, please.

Oh. Our retired holiday rep, Ken.

Well done. And I signed a pledge not to let you down.

OK.

This question is about one of my favourite ladies,

and it's the Queen.

How many of the Queen's children were born before she became monarch?

The two eldest children, Prince Charles and Princess Anne,

were born before the Queen was crowned.

That's two.

OK, two. Yes, perfect.

Well done.

And you're right, it was Charles and Anne. Well done. ?200 for you, Sue.

Sarah, we come to you and, still, you can choose anyone you like.

I think this time, I'll maybe choose Peter,

considering he's a pizza waiter, I love pizza.

Maybe it is a question about pizza. We'll see.

This question is related to when I do kids' parties at work.

We do have a little sing-along with the children sometimes.

And my question for you is...

Which character sings Let It Go in Frozen?

Well, I have actually seen Frozen quite a number of times.

I've got little cousins and the kids in the class like to watch this as

well. I do know this answer, and I believe it's Elsa.

Elsa. Is that right?

She is correct.

She's the queen of Arendelle, who can famously create snow and ice.

And, Sarah, well done to you. ?200 is added to your prize fund.

Mick, you can still go with any one of the eight you like.

Thank you, Bill. I am going to stick with my original choice and give Max

another crack, and let's hope we're on a better wavelength this time.

Max, our PR executive.

This is a question about a little opera.

The setting in London for The Yeomen Of The Guard.

The things my dad used to tell me about,

I'm pretty sure The Yeomen Of The Guard is the Tower of London.

I think that's what they guard and I hope that's the case,

and the Crown Jewels in it and things like that.

So, I'm going to go for the Tower of London.

The Tower of London.

Mick, you're absolutely right, it is the Tower of London. Well done.

And that operetta was in fact

the 11th collaboration between Gilbert and Sullivan. So, ?200 for you, Mick.

Sue, we come back to you.

Max is out of the running but you can choose any one of the other seven.

Um, I'll choose Abi, please.

Abi, our doctor.

So, this is a medical-related question but it's very popular.

You should be able to get this.

What does the M stand for in BMI?

I think BMI...

stands for Body Mass Index, Bill, so it would be Mass.

Mass. 100% correct, Mass.

Well done.

?200 for you, Sue.

Well done. Sarah, anyone but Max.

I think I'll go back with my original choice

and try my luck again with Anisha, please.

I'm so happy you chose me because this is a modern-day

music question, so I think you're going to get it right. Good.

By what name is the Canadian rapper Aubrey Graham best known?

Gosh. I can't say I've actually heard of him before.

I do know a few rappers and their real names,

so I think I can rule some out.

I know it's not going to be Jay-Z.

Probably not going to be Kanye West.

Gosh, my mind's gone blank.

I'll just have to go with Tinie Tempah,

and I know it's not going to be him

but that will have to be my answer. Tinie Tempah is your answer.

Anisha? It's not, unfortunately.

It's Drake.

Ah, I should have known that one. Oh, well.

Born in Toronto in 1986.

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

Mick, we come to you.

Anisha has now gone, as well as Max.

OK, I'm going to move along the line at the back, to Len, please.

Well, I think you've chosen right here.

This is a question about one of those iconic TV programmes

that's been turned into a film as well recently.

What did Corporal Jones do in his civilian life in Dad's Army?

Crikey, I used to watch it, and I think Corporal Jones...

I can almost picture him wearing some sort of overalls.

I'm going to guess at a greengrocer.

Greengrocer is your answer.

Yeah. Is that right, Len? It was close.

A butcher. He was a butcher.

Played by Clive Dunn in the series.

So, nothing for you there, Mick. At the end of that round, then,

let's have a look at your prize funds.

Sarah and Mick tied on ?600.

In the lead, though, with ?800, is Sue.

So, you have each picked three questions but none of you took a question

from Arminel, and we want to include her, of course.

She was the only one who didn't get to ask a question. So, what did you have?

I had a question which, although it was science-based,

you could also consider it general knowledge, actually.

It's a quotation.

So, just for fun, you might want to try this one at home.

Isaac Newton wrote, "If I have seen further,

it is by standing on the shoulders of..."

What? Any thoughts?

Giants. Giants, is that right?

Absolutely right. Yes.

And that quote's appeared on the side of ?2 coins, in fact,

and was used as the title of an album by Oasis as well.

Which is probably why you knew that. Yeah, I may have thought it was a guess, but maybe it was there.

Thanks very much for that, Arminel. OK. Let's get back to the competition, then.

Now, one of you is going to have to leave the game shortly but any one

of you can take the lead cos you're very tightly packed here.

All of you will now be asked the same question.

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

before the show and their reasons for doing so.

Only one of them will have the right answer, though.

So, if you side with the correct person,

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

Just five questions remain, though,

before we do have to bid farewell to one of you.

So, choose your answers carefully, and here is the first question.

Max and Anisha are going to take this one on.

Max. Well, as I'm sure you all know, I'm a very proud Directioneer,

and I absolutely love One Direction.

I know that Harry Styles - the face, the hair, the man himself -

is surely the person that everyone on Twitter would want to follow

so I'd say that, given the enormous fame and fortune

that One Direction have,

Harry Styles simply must be the British celebrity

with the most Twitter followers. Anisha.

So, I said David Beckham and, even though he's a sportsman,

he's a celebrity in his own right.

I remember watching a little clip when Brooklyn Beckham was like, "Oh,

"I reached one million Instagram followers,"

and his dad comes in and said,

"Yeah, I've got 56 million," something like that.

I was like, "Oh, that's quite a lot of Instagram followers.

"Surely people want to look at you,

"but they want to hear what you've got to say as well."

So, I went to David Beckham.

Max says Harry Styles.

Anisha is with David Beckham.

Who do you want to go with? Lock in your answers, please.

And what have you had to say?

So, Sue and Mick say Harry Styles.

Sarah is in the middle, on her own, with David Beckham.

Who's right?

It's Harry Styles. Oh!

Sorry. Very good.

He has about 28.5 million followers on Twitter.

Well done, Sue and Mick. ?200 for you, and here is the next question.

Let's ask two of the women in the Think Tank, Diane and Abi.

Diane. We were on a felucca in Egypt and the chap said,

"There's the temple of Hatshepsut," and I said, "Yes,

"we had hot chicken soup last night for dinner."

And so, I said to this question,

"It's hot chicken soup

"because they say chicken soup is a comfort for the soul." OK, Abi.

I thought, "What would most women like to curl up to?"

And I thought tomato soup.

It's rich, it's thick, it's creamy, it's velvety.

I personally can't stand the stuff, but I think other women may go for

tomato soup.

All right, Diane's going for chicken soup. You're with tomato soup, Abi.

Let's see what our contestants think.

Lock in your answers, please.

And what do you think here?

So Sue's gone with chicken,

Sarah and Mick have chosen tomato.

Who's right?

It's chicken soup. Yeah!

OK, ?200 for you, Sue, and here's question number three.

Arminel and Max taking this one on.

Arminel. I believe it was Iain Duncan Smith because I can remember

when David Cameron was elected and I can just remember the swap-over.

So I'm pretty sure it was Iain Duncan Smith.

Max? Well, this was a bit of time before I was able to vote

but I do remember people talking about the major change that happened

from the previous leader before David Cameron,

and I think it was an even bigger shift than from Iain Duncan Smith.

I think it was Michael Howard who, if you do see him, he is very,

very different from David Cameron.

Obviously, David Cameron was young and vibrant and had a young family

with him as well. I think everyone saw that as a real step change

in the way the Conservative Party was moving. Right.

Arminel finds that answer hilarious.

Arminel is saying Iain Duncan Smith,

Max has gone with Michael Howard.

Contestants, vote for your choice.

And who have you elected?

Let's see. All three of you have

gone with Iain Duncan Smith.

Arminel's choice. Are you right?

Michael Howard, it was. Michael Howard, it was.

Laugh as much as you like, Arminel.

But you're still wrong.

Excellent. Michael Howard was leader of the Conservative Party from 2003

to 2005.

No money for any of you there, and we move on to question number four.

Ken and Peter taking this one.

Ken. Well, I had a good think about this actually and I thought, well,

I don't have any children but if I DID have grandchildren,

I would think I'd love this young lady to be my granddaughter

and I thought the Duchess of Cambridge.

The Duchess of Cambridge. Peter? I went for Taylor Swift

because she's always quite well-dressed

and, you know, doesn't really speak out of place,

as in her views aren't too wild or anything.

OK. Ken is saying the Duchess of Cambridge.

Peter, you've gone for Taylor Swift. Contestants, what do you think?

Lock in your answers.

Let's see who you've chosen.

Sue and Mick with the Duchess of Cambridge,

Sarah's gone for Taylor Swift.

Let's see who's right.

It's the Duchess of Cambridge.

And the best male role model was considered to be Ed Sheeran.

Sue and Mick, well done, ?200 for you, and here's the final question in this round.

Len and Abi taking this one on.

Len. Well, this is a person that's sort of crept under the radar,

although he's a very successful tennis player, Pete Sampras.

You had your Bjorn Borgs and your McEnroes,

but this guy was going at it at a great rate of knots.

Pete Sampras. Abi? So in the realm of high rate of knots,

I remember Andre Agassi cos every time you used to see

him swinging for the ball, I used to want to chop off his ponytail.

So that's the reason that I remember it's Andre Agassi.

OK. Len's gone Pete Sampras, Abi says it's Andre Agassi.

Who do you think it is, contestants?

Who's your winner? All three of you

say it's Pete Sampras.

Let's see if you're right there.

Pete Sampras, it is, well done.

Well done, Len. Pete Sampras won 14 Grand Slam titles, Roger Federer,

17 so far, Andre Agassi won just eight.

Oh. OK.

?200 to all of you, well done.

And that brings us to the end of the main game,

so let's take a look at your totals.

In the lead is Sue with ?1,600,

followed by Mick with ?1,200, and trailing

behind in third place is Sarah with ?800.

So I'm sorry, Sarah, we have to say goodbye to you.

Thank you, I've had a wonderful time.

Lovely to meet everyone and best of luck to Sue and Mick.

Thank you. Just before you go, though,

as a supply teacher you were giving us some tips on discipline,

and I want to keep this lot under control.

So just give them the stern look before you go.

Oh, that's good.

Yeah, OK. Sarah, thanks very much indeed. Thank you, thank you. Well done.

Sue and Mick, well done.

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

Sue, if you win, have you had any thoughts about what you might do?

I would like to buy a share in a racehorse, Bill.

You ARE a dark horse, aren't you?

A racehorse, really, why?

Well, I like to watch the racing on TV on a Saturday afternoon and

I thought if I had a real stake in a horse,

it would make it even more interesting.

OK. Which leg would you buy?

Ooh, definitely those nice prancey front ones.

Yeah, definitely. OK.

And, Mick, what would you do?

A wedding dress, Bill. Not for yourself, presumably?

Um, no, for my fiancee.

Aw. And then generally towards the wedding fund.

I'm getting married in almost a year's time.

Ah, that's wonderful. And any thoughts about what kind of wedding dress

you might like your fiance to wear?

Whatever makes her look even more beautiful,

which is going to be hard. Aww.

Isn't that nice?

You are a smoothie, aren't you?

No wonder she said she'd marry you. There you go. Right.

Well, good luck to you both.

The final is a general knowledge battle.

I'll ask you five questions each, and whoever gives the most correct

answers takes home the money that they built up so far.

You're not on your own. The Think Tank is still here to help you if they can.

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

Each member, though, can only be asked once this time round.

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

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

So they know as little about them as you do.

OK? Let's play the final, then.

Sue, you built up the most money in the main game,

so we're going to start with you. Here's your first question.

Who do you want to go with there? I think Len might know the answer to

this. Len? If I don't know this, I'm in trouble.

I think it's an otter.

It's funny you should say that.

I think it is too.

Yeah. And I believe... I think it's one of those sort of films

from the '60s, I think it was, early '70s it was made.

I believe that Len's right and Tarka is an otter.

OK.

So you're saying that the creature Tarka

in the book by Henry Williamson is an otter. Let's see if you're right.

Otter is correct.

Tarka The Otter was published in 1927, and then as you remember, Len,

made into a film in the 1970s.

So you're off the mark, Sue. Mick, here's your first question.

Who can help you with that? I'm going to go with Anisha on this.

I think the K stands for Korean. Korean pop.

So world's continents would be Asia. So I think it's Asia.

What do you think, though? That's exactly what I thought.

The only thing I could think of was that Korea

was the K that popped into my head,

so I'm going to say my answer, the world's continent, is Asia.

Asia is your answer.

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

Asia is correct, well done.

And it originated in South Korea, so well remembered.

1-1. Sue, here's your second question.

You've got six of these characters to choose from,

any one of which would fit in a pantomime, really.

I think Diane might know this one.

Cinderella.

Doesn't Buttons help her into the dress

and the carriage and everything? I believe you're right, Diane,

and I think it's about the only pantomime I've ever seen.

Um, yeah, I'm going to say Cinderella, Bill.

Cinderella's your answer as the pantomime in which Buttons typically

features. Are you right?

Yes, you are. Cinderella's the correct answer. Well done!

Buttons is the servant of Cinderella's father,

who's known as Baron Hardup, usually, usually.

OK, 2-1 to you, Sue. Mick, here's your second question.

Who can help you here? I'm going to go with Ken on this one.

Well, I was actually born on the 11th of November,

which was Armistice Day, and I can remember the poppies being around.

Yeah, I happen to agree with him.

It's the Flanders Field. I think Flanders is in Belgium,

and I'm happy to go with poppies, or poppy,

as my answer. All right, poppy is your answer to the type of flower

mentioned in the opening line of the poem In Flanders Fields.

Let's see if you've chosen the right one.

Poppy is indeed correct.

Well done. The opening line is, "In Flanders Field,

"the poppies grow between the crosses, row on row."

And it was by John McCrae.

2-2, then. You're both doing very well.

Sue, here's your third question.

Just half of the Think Tank to go with now.

I think Max might be from that part of the world,

so perhaps he could help.

You're absolutely right. I do live in London, and work there as well.

I work in PR, so we do a lot of journalist events

and I did, actually, the very first one I organised

was at this building.

And I think you can probably see it in your head, can't you?

It's shaped a little bit like a space rocket.

Although some people do refer to it as...

The Gherkin. The Gherkin.

Absolutely. So I think if you're happy with Gherkin,

that would be my suggestion.

I'm going to stick with Gherkin, thank you, Max.

Gherkin is your answer. The member of the cucumber family

after which the London building

situated at 30 St Mary Axe is commonly named.

Let's see if you're right.

Gherkin is correct, well done.

3-2 to Sue. Mick, you can equalise here with your third question.

Arminel, Abi or Peter to choose?

OK, I'm going to have to choose wisely, because I don't know this.

I'm going to choose Arminel, please.

Not wisely chosen, because I don't know.

I... I honestly haven't got a clue.

I didn't see The Fall, you obviously didn't see The Fall, either.

Oh, my goodness.

It's BBC, crime drama.

Who can we go for? Someone well-known, who's current?

Martin Shaw. Oh!

Ex...

Well, it's your... Yeah, I know.

I'm going to go for Martin Shaw.

Martin Shaw is your answer,

as the actor who played the role of Paul Spector in The Fall.

Let's see if you're right.

It was Jamie Dornan.

Never heard of him. Arminel, not in your sphere of knowledge?

Abi, would you have known that?

Yes. He's Mr Grey in the movie Fifty Shades Of Grey,

and I think he got selected from The Fall.

And he's absolutely superb in it.

And I think it was Gillian Anderson that was trying to track him down.

All right. Well, it's all in the choice, really, isn't it?

OK. OK. So, I'm afraid,

no score for you, there. And, Sue, it's 3-2 to you.

Here's your fourth question.

Just Peter and Abi to choose from.

I don't think I know this,

but I think Peter might be able to help me.

I often say her name when I do pizzas,

because I think it's "Margherita" Ora.

Even though it's named Rita Ora.

Yeah, I think I'll trust Peter's knowledge, and I'll say Rita Ora.

Rita Ora. You're saying Rita Ora is the singer who had hit singles with

Hot Right Now and I Will Never Let You Down.

Have you chosen correctly?

Rita Ora, it is, well done. Very good.

Rita Ora has been a judge on The X Factor and The Voice UK as well.

OK. Well done, Sue.

4-2 to you. Mick, you are going to have to get this one right

if you're going to stay in the running,

otherwise Sue will be our winner.

So, here we go.

Just Abi to help you.

Can you picture him, with his arm in a hole in the jungle, screaming?

Vaguely.

A name has just come to me, so I'm going to say it before I lose it.

Paul Burrell. Yeah.

Ringing vague bells. Paul Burrell is your answer? Yeah.

To stay in the game, Paul Burrell,

you say is the name of Princess Diana's former butler

who went on to appear in I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here.

Have you chosen correctly?

Well done. Paul Burrell's the right answer.

Well done.

4-3 to Sue. Still your advantage, Sue.

If you get this one right, you will be today's winner.

This is the fifth question. No Think Tankers left to help you out,

you're on your own from here on in, OK?

I've got no idea.

No idea? Erm, I'll guess...

Tom Hiddleston. Is that your answer, Tom Hiddleston?

Yeah, I can't think of anyone else, Bill.

I'll stick with that. You're going to go with Tom Hiddleston as the

British actor who plays the role of Hank McCoy, or Beast,

in the X-Men films?

If this is right, you'll be our winner today.

Nicholas Hoult was the answer we were looking for.

Sorry, I've never heard of him.

Hank McCoy was played by Kelsey Grammer in an earlier film.

Nicholas Hoult was in About A Boy. About A Boy, I've heard of that.

And one or two other films.

OK. So, Mick, your chance to equalise here.

But if you get it wrong, Sue will still be today's winner.

No-one left to consult with, I'm afraid.

I've got to guess at this, an educated guess,

because of the type of music that she plays

and the way she dances and the way she looks,

my instinct tells me Brazil.

It could be another Latin American, South American country,

but I'm going to go for Brazil.

You're saying Brazil is the country in which Shakira was born?

Yes. OK. If this is wrong, then Sue will be our winner today.

Let's see if you're right.

Colombia was what we were looking for.

Congratulations, Sue, you are today's winner.

Well done.

Shakira's hits, Hips Don't Lie and Whenever, Wherever.

OK. But you weren't far off. Right continent, wrong country.

But well done, you played very well. Thank you. You're not taking

anything home, but thanks for playing. Hope you've had

a good time. I've had a great time, really enjoyable, thank you.

Give our best to your fiancee, I hope you have a very happy marriage.

Thank you very much. All right.

Sue, as 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. First, though,

shall we find out who is the cleverest Think Tanker here today,

who gave the most correct answers during the show?

And it was...

Max. Well done.

You always look so surprised.

Well done, Max. OK, Sue, you have one last chance, then,

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

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

because no-one in the Think Tank could answer it correctly earlier.

So if you can do 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.

So, we're going to give you a little bit of help.

Let's take a look at the wrong answers that the Think Tank gave,

and that might help you out.

Although, looking at what they've done,

there is only one wrong answer that they've given.

They've all said Robbie Williams,

which isn't terribly useful for you,

really. Only a little bit.

No, it isn't.

So, looking at that,

what do you think?

I wish I knew who the other members of Take That were!

I do... I think I do know who this person is.

And I can see his face,

and it's just a shame I can't remember what his name is.

Ah, a name has popped up.

May or may not be right.

Gary Barlow.

Gary Barlow is your answer?

That's my answer. It's the only person I can think of.

OK. Who was the first member of Take That

to have a solo UK number-one single?

Your answer, for an extra ?1,000, is Gary Barlow.

If you're right, this will give you a total of ?2,600.

Let's see if you are.

Gary Barlow, it is!

Well done!

Well done! Fantastic.

You're bang on the money, there.

Well done. I don't know where that came from.

The name of the single was Forever Love, it was in 1996.

Congratulations. You've added ?1,000 to your prize fund.

It means you're leaving with ?2,600.

Thank you. And you wanted to buy part of a racehorse, didn't you?

I did, yes.

I think it'll be two legs now, instead of one.

OK, good. Well, well done.

You've been a great player, fantastic.

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...

ALL: Bye! And it's goodbye from me.

Bye-bye.

..three, four...

One, two, three, four...
