Episode 22 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 Lesley-Anne,

a recruitment consultant from Musselburgh in East Lothian,

Sue, a retired pensions administrator

from Chippenham in Wiltshire

and Andy, a police officer from Leicester.

This is Think Tank.

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

They hail from Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland,

with jobs in fields such as music and education among them.

On this show, though, they share one job -

to try to help our three contestants as they compete for a cash prize.

So, let's meet them. Lesley-Anne, nice to see you.

You're a recruitment consultant.

Who are you recruiting, exactly?

I recruit construction staff,

so I deal with trades and labour -

joiners, brickies, labourers, these types of candidates.

OK. What's your lifetime ambition?

This! To be on TV!

To be on TV!

That's it done now. You can retire!

Any particular quiz show you wanted to be on?

-Obviously this one.

-Oh, it's the right answer.

£200 to Lesley-Anne to get her off the mark.

Well done. And how does it feel to be on TV?

I just can't stop smiling. I've got a sore face!

Apart from appearing on television,

-what are your favourite things to do?

-Well, I love travelling.

I've been round Thailand, I've been round Cambodia and Malaysia.

Southeast Asia, though, you like most?

-Yes.

-Why do you like that so much?

The culture's brilliant, I love the place.

The land of smiles, they call it,

and that really is what it is, it's brilliant.

OK, your strongest subjects?

My best subject would probably be music, or American sitcoms, biology.

-Biology?

-Yes.

-We don't often get people good at biology, do we?

-Well, that'll be great. What do you need help on?

-Sport.

-Mm-hm.

-Literature.

-OK.

Well, sport - Cleve's your man, Len also.

Literature would be Max as well, Arminel too,

so you've got a pretty good spread.

-All right. So, welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Sue.

-Hello, Bill.

-Nice to have you with us.

You used to be a pensions administrator.

Was that the only job you did before you retired?

Oh, no. I did that for 19 years, but prior to that I was a pub landlady.

Before that, I was in the Royal Navy.

So, when you were a pub landlady, first of all,

were you strict with your customers?

I was a little bit of a misery, actually,

because I didn't really like people who were drunk!

-OK.

-As soon as it was time,

I called time and I used to make them leave because I thought,

"This is my time now, get out of my pub!"

A bit like Peggy on EastEnders. "Get out of my pub!"

What was it like in the Royal Navy?

It was very exciting.

It was very strict, and I liked the discipline.

I used to love taking parades.

-Is that what you did?

-Yes, I did it a few times, absolutely loved it.

-Try and bring this lot to attention.

-Attention!

-At ease.

-Gosh, that worked, didn't it?

I must remember that one. You know,

you really get some useful tips off these contestants from time to time,

don't you? What are your best subjects going to be?

TV, drama, films.

I'm not too bad on geography,

but history and literature are not really my things.

You've got to get in early to get the Max, though, for the literature.

Well, that's it, you see. Max is my favourite at the moment.

Is he? Your favourite?

Well, it's good that he's someone's favourite.

Thanks, Bill(!)

OK, well, it's lovely to have you with us, Sue.

And, Andy, welcome to you.

Which part of the police force are you working in?

I work in the investigation unit.

I deal with investigating crimes, and with prisoners afterwards.

Have you always been a police officer?

I was in the Royal Air Force for six years.

I was a fireman in the Royal Air Force.

Before that, I was on British Rail for four years.

You've moved around a bit. Where have you lived?

I was born and brought up in north-west London,

but then when I joined the RAF, I got to travel.

I lived in Gibraltar for two years, then during my police service,

I took three years out to move abroad

and lived in Spain for three years.

So, your sense of geography is pretty good.

I like travel as well so, yeah, I think so.

And what do you need help on?

I probably need a lot of help on literature and the arts.

The arts.

Apart from Max, who can help with the arts?

I can do painting by numbers,

-if that's any good!

-Painting by numbers, all right.

Well, welcome 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 Think Tank have tried to answer all the questions

to the best of their ability.

Sometimes they're right, sometimes they're wrong.

The two highest scorers will go through to the final.

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

So, let's play the first round.

I'm going to ask you a question,

then every member of the Think Tank will reveal the answer they gave

before the show. The correct answer's always there somewhere,

but also in the mix, any number of mistakes, too.

Pick out the right one, £200 is added to your prize fund.

Two questions each. Lesley-Anne, you're up first.

Here's a question we put to the Think Tank.

Have a think on that

while we see what the Think Tank thought, starting with Arminel.

Four feet, and a few other things to go with.

Shouldn't think cockney is your speciality,

-coming from Musselburgh.

-Probably not,

but I've watched a bit of EastEnders over the days

so I think "plates" is "plates of meat",

and the word that rhymes with "plates of meat"

-I'm thinking is "feet".

-OK.

-I'm going to go with feet.

Feet. Plates of meat, feet. OK.

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

Feet it is, well done.

Max, what do you think rhyming slang might have been for "ears"?

Plates of beers.

LAUGHTER

Potentially. I'm sure, Sue, as a publican,

-you must have served a plate of beer before.

-Never!

OK, all right, Max, well, at least you tried,

there you go. £200, then, for you, Lesley-Anne. Well done.

You're off the mark. Sue, you've seen how it works,

so here's your first question.

What did the Think Tank make of this one? Arminel?

Three for Mr McGregor, and a few others in the mix as well, Sue.

Well, I'm not familiar with Beatrix Potter's works,

even though I do have a set of the books at home.

I put them to one side for my grandchildren and never opened them

and read them. So, I think, along the lines of...

Some of the Think Tankers have come up with a name

I've never heard of, Mr McGregor.

That's going to be my choice of answer, Mr McGregor.

Mr McGregor, OK.

You're saying Mr McGregor. Let's see if you've chosen correctly.

You have indeed, Mr McGregor it is.

He sneaks into Mr McGregor's garden,

eats as many vegetables as he can before he is chased away.

OK, Sue, well done, £200 for you there and, Andy,

let's get your first question.

What did the Think Tank serve up for this one?

A tray full of beverages there to choose from.

I've heard of the race, I know the race,

I've never actually watched it.

You first think of champagne because of Formula 1,

that's the thing they always have.

Being American, though...

Beer... If it's not champagne...

I'd plump for beer so, yeah, on that basis... I don't actually know,

but on that basis, I go for beer.

Beer. By tradition, at the Indianapolis 500 motor race,

what does the winning driver drink?

You're saying beer - let's see if you're right.

-It's milk.

-Oh, well.

-Arminel, you're the only one to get that right.

-Do you know why?

-I do know exactly why,

and it wasn't for the right reasons.

I'd just been to see the film Eddie The Eagle, and he always drank milk

and I thought, well, it's not going to be the obvious one of champagne,

so why don't I just go for milk? Because one other person drank milk!

-OK.

-So, that was my reason.

-That was your reason for your choice.

Couldn't believe it when I saw it was right.

But, actually, it was because Louis Meyer, who won in 1933,

was famously photographed drinking a glass of milk after the race,

and it's become a tradition, so there you go.

Sorry, Andy, nothing for you. There'll be other chances, though.

Lesley-Anne, your second question.

What did the Think Tank make of this?

Five for Dirty Dancing, two for Footloose and one Ghost.

What do you reckon?

Well, I think I know this one,

and I love the film.

So, I'm going to go with... It's actually the majority,

and I'm going to go with Dirty Dancing.

Dirty Dancing.

You say it's Dirty Dancing. Let's see if you're right.

You are indeed, Dirty Dancing it is.

He was a dance instructor, of course, who falls in love with Jennifer Grey,

and no-one puts Baby in the corner.

Do they? OK. You're not in the corner either, Lesley-Anne,

-well done. £200 for you.

-Thank you.

-Sue, your second question.

What did the Think Tank choose for this?

Badger the most popular choice, but there are others to be made, too.

I would assume, if it was something to do with a fox,

it would be something like lupus or lupine.

I think I might go for badger.

Badger?

Vulpes vulpes is the scientific name for which common British mammal?

You're saying Badger.

Let's see if you've chosen correctly.

-It's a fox after all.

-Oh.

That's where we get the adjective "vulpine" from, meaning fox-like.

So, nothing for you there, Sue,

and we move on to Andy for your second question.

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

Several different countries to choose from, Andy.

-Where do you want to go?

-I should know this one.

I know it's in that region of Iraq, Syria, Iran, that area.

I'm pretty sure I can discount Israel,

I'm pretty happy Babylon wasn't down there,

but I'm really torn between Iraq and Iran.

I'm going to have to plump for Iraq.

-Iraq?

-Fingers crossed. Yeah.

-OK.

In which modern-day country are the ruins of Babylon?

You're saying Iraq. Let's see if you're right.

You are, Iraq it is. Well done.

It's on the Euphrates River, 55 miles south of Baghdad.

So, £200 to you Andy, well done.

-Thank you.

-Arminel, clean sweep for you,

you got every question right. Well done, you, jolly good.

Thanks to the good luck with milk!

Well, never mind, they all count.

At the end of the first round, let's take a look at your prize funds.

Sue and Andy are tied on £200.

In the lead, with £400, is Lesley-Anne.

It 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'll 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 is added to your prize fund.

The range of questions reflects

their varied interests and knowledge.

Once a Think Tanker has asked both of their questions,

they can't be picked again. Lesley-Anne, you get to go first.

You can choose any one of the eight.

-I think I will go with Anisha, please.

-Anisha.

The reason I knew this is because my mum's from Barbados

and every year in Barbados they have a carnival called Crop Over,

so I love carnival, and I've also been to the one in Notting Hill

as well, so it's about the Notting Hill Carnival.

I have absolutely no idea.

So, this is... I could just choose any month.

-I'm going to say July.

-July.

One month out, babe, it's August.

-Oh...

-Sorry.

-Over the August bank holiday.

-Oh, right. I should've thought of that.

No money for you there, Lesley-Anne.

We move on to Sue, and you can still choose anyone you like.

Well, I'd like to choose Jordan, I think, because I absolutely love

her lilting Irish accent.

Oh, thank you very much, Sue. I'm blushing.

So, I absolutely love food, and one of my favourite things to eat

is nachos, and I love to layer them with salsa and sour cream and cheese

and this food, and the question is...

I do like nachos myself, with all the cheese on,

-and the guacamole I believe is mainly made from avocado.

-Avocado.

You're absolutely spot-on, well done.

Guacamole can also include onions, tomatoes

and sometimes chillies as well.

Sue, £200 for you, then, and, Andy, you're up next.

Who would you like to choose?

Can I have a question from Len, please?

You said that you like geography and travelling,

and I think this is going to be right up your street, this is.

Famous building in Sydney

whose design was inspired by the sails of ships.

I've never been, it's on my bucket list of places to go.

I want to go to Australia and New Zealand and I can't wait.

And the only iconic building I know of or can think of in Sydney

is the Sydney Opera House. You see it every New Year's Eve

-when the fireworks go up. So, Sydney Opera House.

-Sydney Opera House?

I've stood outside that building myself and it's fabulous,

-you got to go. It's correct, Sydney Opera House.

-Thank you.

Well done.

Sydney Opera House, completed in 1973,

designed by the Danish architect Jorn Utzon. £200 for you, Andy.

We come back to you, Lesley-Anne, for your next question.

Who would you like to choose?

I would like to choose Cleve, please.

-Cleve.

-I hope you like sport.

Oh...

You're kidding?

I take from that expression that you don't, then, I guess?

-No.

-This is... I mean, I am a huge sports fan.

-This is not the hardest question you could possibly have.

-Hopefully not.

I honestly have absolutely no idea.

If it was Scottish football, I might...

I might have been able to have a stab at it.

This is just a guess, but I'm going to say...

-I'm going to say Arsenal.

-Arsenal is your answer?

-Yes.

-OK. Arsenal, Cleve?

Arsenal have the longest-serving manager in the Premiership

at the moment. It's actually the current champions, Leicester City.

-Oh, I was going to say that.

-Were you?

Honestly. I thought... But I thought, "No, that's too obvious."

Claudio Ranieri led them to Premier League glory in 2016.

-I should have known...

-Nothing is too obvious on the Think Tank!

Nothing!

-Ohh!

-Hard lines, Lesley-Anne, I'm sorry, nothing for you there.

Sue, we come on to you.

I'd like to choose Max for his enigmatic smile.

Oh, Sue! Well, hopefully you're able to help us out with this.

Which major river flows through the city of New Orleans?

New Orleans. I've never visited New Orleans.

I have recently been to Washington, DC,

but I couldn't tell you the river that flows through there either,

if there is one. I'm thinking about the riverboats around New Orleans

with the great big wheels on and the gamblers,

-and I'm thinking this might be the Mississippi.

-The Mississippi?

Sue, it is a beautiful image you paint

-and it is absolutely right, it is the Mississippi.

-Well done.

And it's the longest river in the United States.

£200 for you, Sue, well done. Andy, we come to you again.

Who would you like to go with?

Still the entire Think Tank to choose from.

Can I have a question from Cleve, please?

-Cleve.

-I bet you were hoping it was a sports question, weren't you?

Hoping. I'm hoping!

As luck would have it, it's not,

but it is slightly geography based, and the reason why I know this

is because I lived in this country for a while as a youngster.

The capital of Jamaica till 1872, when it was changed to Kingston?

I don't know if it was...

Was it the British or the Spanish that colonised it back in the day?

I'd imagine there's a good chance it may have been something like...

Stab in the dark, I go for Free Town.

-Free Town?

-You were on a great line of thought.

I thought you should have continued, actually.

The former occupiers before the British took over were the Spanish,

and it was a very uninspiring name,

Spanish Town.

-Oh.

-Spanish Town was the answer we wanted.

And it was the capital of Jamaica from 1692 till 1872.

So, nothing for you there, Andy, I'm afraid.

Lesley-Anne, we come back to you.

You can choose anyone apart from Cleve.

I'm going to go with Anisha again, please.

Lesley-Anne, do you like celebrity gossip?

-I keep up with it. So-so.

-OK, so...

I know who Ryan Gosling is,

however I don't know who his celebrity wife is.

Again, I have absolutely no idea whatsoever,

so I'm just going to have to take a stab in the dark.

My mind's went totally blank.

Oh, no... Charlize Throne. Is that...? That's someone.

Charlize Throne is your answer?

It's not a good... I know.

OK, we'll try that. Which Hollywood actress

welcomed her second child with Ryan Gosling in 2016?

Charlize Throne is what she's going for.

It's not, unfortunately. It's Eva Mendes.

-I wouldn't have known.

-Eva Mendes.

-I wouldn't have known.

They appeared together in the 2012 film The Place Beyond The Pines.

You were thinking of Charlize Theron.

Nothing for you there, Lesley-Anne. Sue, we come to you again.

Cleve and Anisha now out of the running.

-For this question, I'd like to choose Arminel.

-Arminel.

This is a flags question, because I play a game of flags with my sons,

so hopefully you will be able to tell me...

The two colours on the national flag of Ukraine.

Oh, I think this has got to be my worst subject

next to which year did somebody do something.

I'm going to go with red and green.

Red and green?

Excellent guess for colours but, unfortunately, it's not right.

It's the blue of the sky, and the yellow of the cornfields below.

-Blue and yellow.

-I'll never forget that!

The reason why I know it is because I know the reason for the colours

-and that always helps.

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

Andy, we come to you again.

Anisha and Cleve you cannot choose, but you can go with anybody else.

-Can I have a question from Mark, please?

-Mark.

-Hi, Andy.

I've got a bit of an advantage with this

because I work in fashion and textiles,

but it does span a couple of elements, so good luck.

I love Friends, fantastic series.

I've probably seen all the episodes.

I don't know, stab in the dark.

-Versace?

-Versace.

He used to sell ties for another New York establishment

called Brooks Brothers,

but then went on to build his own fashion empire.

-It's Ralph Lauren.

-Ralph Lauren. In Friends,

Jennifer Aniston's character, Rachel, worked for Ralph Lauren.

Nothing for you there. Brings us to the end of the round.

Let's see how your prize funds have changed.

Lesley-Anne and Andy tied on £400.

In the lead, with £600, is Sue.

So you chose three questions each,

but none of you asked to hear from Diane.

We don't want her to feel left out, do we?

-No.

-Let's hear a question from her that she answered correctly earlier.

Just for a bit of fun, Diane, what is it?

OK, it would have been a lovely sport question for you.

My question is...

Try this one at home. In which event

did Fatima Whitbread win Olympic medals in 1984 and 1988?

Any ideas here in the studio?

-She won it in javelin.

-Yeah.

-Javelin?

-Javelin.

-Is that right, javelin?

-Yes, that's right.

And she was also world champion in 1987.

Well done. Thank you very much, Diane.

Let's get back to the competition.

One of you is shortly going to have to leave the game,

but there is still a chance to take the lead.

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

Two members of the Think Tank will give you the answer they gave

before the show and their reasons for doing so.

One of them only will have the correct answer.

So if you side with the right person,

you get what will be an all-important £200

added to your prize fund.

Just five questions remain before we have to say goodbye to one of you,

so choose your answers carefully. And here is the first question.

Answers from Anisha and Jordan. Anisha first.

So I went with the £20 note, and the reason being is, when I worked

in retail, a lot of our products were around £15

and everyone always kept giving me £20 notes

and I always kept running out of change.

So, yeah, I went with £20.

-OK. Jordan.

-I actually went with the £5 note, because I thought

if someone's paying with a 20 or a 10,

you've got to be able to give them change.

So I figured that there has to be a lot of £5 notes in circulation.

for that reason.

All right, Anisha says £20, Jordan says it's a fiver.

What do you think, contestants? Lock in your answers, please.

What have you totted up? Let's see.

You've all gone with £20.

Is that the right answer?

Yes, it is. Congratulations.

And there are currently 41,037,000,000 £20 notes in circulation.

-Wow.

-That's quite a lot, isn't it?

OK. All right, £200 to each of you, in £20 notes if you like.

Here's our next question.

Mark and Cleve are going to have a go at this.

-Mark?

-If you look at the question,

it's got "pandemonium" in it and it's got "louder",

-and you just think Christopher Biggins.

-Cleve?

Again, the clues are there, but I remember... I've seen this actor...

I remember him firstly when I watched American Werewolf In London,

I think it was, and he's known for saying it very loud.

-SHOUTS:

-It's Absolute Pandemonium: My Louder Than Life Story -

it has to be the one and only

British institution that is Brian Blessed.

Mark's gone with Christopher Biggins,

Cleve says it's Brian Blessed.

What do you think, contestants? Lock in your answers, please.

Who have you chosen? Lesley-Anne says Christopher Biggins,

Sue and Andy have gone with Brian Blessed. Who's right?

Brian's alive! Brian Blessed it is.

He's very famous for his line in Flash Gordon, and many other things,

of course. OK, so £200 for Sue and Andy, well done.

And here is question number three.

Len and Max wiring this one up.

-Len?

-Well, when I see this question,

the first thing I thought was, the last job I was doing was actually in

high-voltage electrical switch gear, and although all the contacts

and the blades were made of copper, the actual contact point was...

We used to coat them with silver,

better for conducting electricity than copper. My answer is silver.

-Max?

-Well, having heard what Len said,

I believe that silver is used to deal with very high voltage levels

at those important contact points,

but if you go to your house or look at your cables

that connect your fridge to the wall,

all of those cables will be copper

because it is best one for conducting electricity.

OK, Len says it's silver, Max says it's copper.

What do you think, contestants? Please lock your answers in.

What have you come up with? You've all gone for copper.

Let's see if you're right.

It's silver. Should have gone with the man who worked in it.

There you go. Well done, Len.

They only used to coat the tips because it was so expensive

to do the whole blade then, it was.

OK. So nothing for any of you there, I'm afraid,

and we move on to question number four.

Arminel and Diane having a go at this one.

Arminel?

I said Once In Royal David's City, and my reasoning for that

is because at every carol concert,

it's the opening carol, and it's usually sung by a lone voice,

a lone soprano voice,

and so I thought that it was Once In Royal David's City.

-Diane?

-Now, I said it's Silent Night

and the clue is in the title - it's a classic.

When you're shopping, it's the piped music that's trying to make you

buy that little more and get you into the Christmas spirit.

It is Silent Night.

So Arminel's gone with Once In Royal David's City,

Diane is singing Silent Night.

What do you think it is, contestants?

Put your answers in, please.

Lesley-Anne says Once In Royal David's City,

she's on her own again.

Sue and Andy have gone with Silent Night. Who's right?

Silent Night it is.

Originally written in German in 1818.

-Once In Royal David's City was seventh in the poll.

-Oh, dear.

-Yeah.

£200 to Sue and Andy, and we come to the final question in this round.

Len and Anisha having a go at this.

-Len?

-Well, this person has exploded on the scene

with his club, Leicester City.

Only a couple of years ago he was playing in the lower divisions.

Suddenly, Jamie Vardy came on the scene.

So my answer is Jamie Vardy.

-Anisha?

-I said Wayne Rooney because that's basically

the only footballer I know. So it's Wayne Rooney.

That's it. So Len says Jamie Vardy, Anisha's gone for Wayne Rooney.

Who do you think it is? Lock in your answers, please.

Lesley-Anne's gone for Jamie Vardy, again striking out on her own.

Sue and Andy have chosen Wayne Rooney. Who's right?

Wayne Rooney it was.

He has more than 13 million followers.

He's England's all-time leading goal-scorer, Wayne Rooney.

OK. So £200 for Sue and Andy,

and that brings us to the end of the round

and to the end of the main game, so let's have a look at your totals.

In the lead, with £1,400,

is Sue, followed by Andy, with £1,200.

Trailing behind, with £600, is Lesley-Anne.

So, sadly, Lesley-Anne, we have to say goodbye to you.

-Thank you.

-I hope you've enjoyed fulfilling your lifetime ambition.

Well, it's been brilliant coming on the TV, it really has.

So thank you very much. Thanks to the Think Tankers and everybody.

It's been great to have you with us. You've been a ray of sunshine.

-Thank you.

-Well done, Sue and Andy.

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

Sue, you just cruised into the final there, really, didn't you?

Had a little luck on the way there. I was beginning to wish I'd picked

Mark for the Friends question, cos I'm no good with flags.

-Definitely knew that one.

-Still, you got there.

-Still, yeah.

-OK. If you were to win today,

how would you spend your prize money?

Well, top of my bucket list is a trip to Australia,

but I've got relatives in Washington, DC,

my daughter and my grandchildren are there, so I'd probably...

It depends how much the money is.

If it's enough to fund the Australia trip, then I'd do for that one.

But if not, then I'll go for another visit to Washington, DC.

That'll be nice. OK, Andy, what would you do?

I promised my daughter a skiing trip to the USA or Canada,

so it'll go towards it.

It's a special trip we're planning to do at some stage,

-so that's what I'd put it towards.

-Well, good luck to you both. The final's a general knowledge battle.

I'll ask you five questions each.

Whoever gives the most correct answers takes home

the money they've built up so far. You're not on your own.

Think Tankers still here to help you if they can.

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

Each member 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 either,

so they're just as much in the dark as you are.

All right? So let's play the final.

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

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

Who would you like to go with for that one?

I think I'd like to pick Max for that one.

I believe he's well read.

Well, Sue, I'm happy to give you a hand on this.

I have to say this is a little bit of a blind spot in my knowledge.

I think Falstaff, in my mind, was a bit of a mononym,

and I kind of imagine that he only went by that.

Obviously he's in a number of Shakespeare plays.

I think he is, out of all Shakespeare's characters,

the one that appears in the most plays.

Unless you had an idea on what his first name might be?

I would say he'd have an old-fashioned name.

-Yes.

-Possibly Albert.

-Or an Edward, or something like that.

-Alfred.

-Yeah.

Alfred might be a good bet. Sounds sort of solid and English.

-Wilfred.

-Wilfred, also very good.

-The old names.

-Yes.

Could even be an Edmund.

-I think we can christen him whatever we want.

-Yes, we can, can't we?

Cos it's going to be a stab in the dark, whatever it is.

-Yes, very Macbeth.

-I think I'll go with Alfred.

Alfred.

You're saying it's Alfred, let's see if you're right.

-It was John.

-I didn't think so.

-Sir John Falstaff.

And, as you mentioned,

Max, he does appear in several Shakespeare plays.

Henry IV, Part 1 and 2, and The Merry Wives Of Windsor.

Nothing for you there, Sue,

and we move on to Andy

for your first question.

-Who could help you here?

-Can I ask Diane, please?

-See if she knows.

-Oh, my word.

I'm just trying to think of 2015 films that were out.

She'd have been Best Actress...

Hopefully that might be a bit more memorable,

so maybe she was Supporting Actress or something.

So there was the Steve Jobs film,

there was also the one about the vacuum-cleaning lady, Joy.

-OK.

-I don't know who played Joy.

I think on that, cos I haven't got anything better

-and that's a great suggestion, I'll go for Joy.

-Joy.

OK.

You're saying Joy. Let's see if you're right.

Boyhood, it was, I'm afraid.

-Never heard of it.

-Never heard of it.

-It was the film that was made over a 12-year period.

-Oh, yes.

-Yeah, yeah.

-With a boy going through the stages of life.

-Right.

Oh, well. So you've both drawn a blank so far.

Sue, you could get off the mark with your next question.

-Who could help you here?

-Oh, who's a sporty person?

Would that be Cleve?

I am 99.99999 recurring

sure that it's chess.

Yes, I believe you're right,

because I do recognise those names as chess players.

-Chess is your answer?

-So my answer is chess.

Gary Kasparov and Bobby Fischer

are former world champions in which game?

You're saying chess, let's see if you're right.

-Chess is correct, well done.

-Thank you.

Thank you.

In the 1970s, Bobby Fischer was the first American-born champion,

and Kasparov was champion in the '80s and '90s.

So 1-0 to you, Sue.

Andy, here's your second question.

-Who could help you here?

-Can I ask Arminel if she can help me at all,

-please?

-Arminel?

-Well, I know what Icarus did.

What did Icarus do?

He flew too close to the sun, he had wax wings and they melted.

So, obviously, his father invented the wax wings.

I think his name begins with an A, but that might be completely...

complete red herring.

Do you have any ideas at all?

Archimedes... No, it's a name.

Archimedes invented a screw,

-which was a method of transporting water up a hill.

-Oh, really?

But he was an inventor.

Yeah, I'll probably go for...

Only cos it's one that...

-It is a name...

-It is a name, but not the right one.

Yeah, probably, yeah. I'll probably go for Archimedes, in that case,

-cos I can't think of anything else.

-Yeah.

-Not right, but we've got a name.

-Yeah.

-Archimedes is your answer?

-Archimedes, yeah.

-In Greek mythology,

which inventor was the father of Icarus?

You're saying Archimedes.

What is the answer?

-It's Daedalus.

-Never heard of him.

-Never mind.

-Yeah.

-Also, in mythology,

he designed the Minotaur's labyrinth,

and the wax wings that he and Icarus used to fly away from Crete,

went too close to the sun.

So nothing for you there, Andy. Sue, your third question coming up.

Half of the Think Tank to choose from, still.

There's a question. I've seen a few of them, with having grandchildren.

Mr Tickle and Mr Giggly and Mr Squiggly and all that sort of thing.

Who could help you here?

They all look like scholars that wouldn't read books like that,

unless, of course, they've got grandchildren.

I might try Len, in case he's got grandchildren who know.

I wish you hadn't asked me.

I've seen it stacked on the grandchildren's bookshelf,

you see all the different characters, like you said.

I really haven't got a clue. I'm going to have to make a wild guess.

I know when I go home I can have a look at it.

I'll just go for Paul Brooks.

-Paul Brooks.

-A name I've plucked out of the air.

Yes. We'll go with that.

Who was the original author of the Mr Men books?

You're saying it's Paul Brooks. Is that the right answer?

It's Roger Hargreaves.

-Never heard of him.

-Mr Tickle was the first book, funnily enough.

-Oh, was it?

-Roger Hargreaves was inspired to write it

when his son asked him what a tickle looked like.

So he drew Mr Tickle, and it went on from there.

-That's an interesting fact, Bill. Very nice(!)

-OK.

But hasn't helped you get a right answer.

-Too late now.

-Too late now indeed. OK.

Andy,

your third question.

You can equalise with this one.

Geography question for you.

Three members left to help you.

Anisha, Mark or Jordan?

-Can I go for Mark, please?

-Mark.

-A well-travelled man.

-I think I know, but...

-Yeah.

-..is it New Zealand?

-It is.

-Is that what you're thinking?

Cos you've got North Island, then you've got South Island.

-Yeah.

-Pretty confident it's New Zealand.

That was my first thought as well, yeah. Great.

I'll go for New Zealand, please.

-New Zealand?

-Yes.

Which country is largely made up of a North Island and a South Island?

You're saying it's New Zealand. Let's see if you're right.

It is indeed New Zealand, well done.

And the Cook Strait named after Captain James Cook, the explorer.

Well done, Andy, you're off the mark. 1-1.

Sue, your fourth question coming up.

Just Anisha and Jordan to help you here.

-I think I'll go with Jordan this time.

-OK, Sue, no problem.

Luckily, I actually love this TV show.

I hope that you might have seen it, too?

Yes, I have, and I know the answer.

Oh, fantastic. Well, then, I shall let you give it.

I do believe, Bill, it's a prison institution.

A prison institution.

Let's see if you're right. Orange Is The New Black

is largely set in which type of institution?

You're saying it's a prison. Are you on the money with that one?

You are, it is a prison, well done.

-And originally based on the memoirs of Piper Kerman.

-Oh.

OK, 2-1 to you, Sue. Here's your fourth question, Andy.

-Just Anisha to go with here.

-Save the best for last.

I have a pretty good idea.

-I think she's Mexican.

-Yeah, I think you're right.

I think Mexico is the answer.

-Go with that.

-Brilliant, we'll go for Mexico.

Mexico is your answer.

The actress Salma Hayek was born in which country? You say it's Mexico.

Are you right?

-Mexico it is, well done.

-Thank you.

Born in 1966.

2-2. Come to the fifth question.

This means there are no Think Tankers left to help you out.

From here on in, you're on your own. Sue, your turn.

-Sport question...

-I think it is.

-Not the best for me.

I only know a few sportsmen,

and the Tour de France is not my favourite sort of sport.

The only one that sticks in my mind, Bill, is the lovely Bradley Wiggins.

-That's your answer?

-So that will be my answer, Bradley Wiggins.

Bradley Wiggins.

Who won his second Tour de France title in 2015?

You're saying it's Bradley Wiggins.

Let's see if you're right.

It was Chris Froome.

And Chris Froome the only British rider to win more than one title.

So, Bradley Wiggins had won it, but just not that year.

OK. That's a miss for you, Sue. Andy, this means

that if you get this answer right, you will be today's winner, OK?

Here we go.

Cote d'Ivoire, I think it's...

The other name, or maybe it's its proper name

for one of the African countries.

I just remember it from football from World Cups. And I think...

I could be totally wrong, but I think it's the...

Is it the Ivory Coast?

Yeah, so which continent? The continent, I believe, is Africa,

-so I'll go for Africa, Bill.

-Africa, OK.

Cote d'Ivoire is a country on which continent? You're saying Africa.

If you are right, you will be today's winner.

Let's see if you have the right answer.

Africa it is. Congratulations, Andy.

You are today's winner, well done.

-Thank you.

-It is on the coast of Western Africa

and, as you correctly point out, it is also known as the Ivory Coast.

So, well done.

Sorry, Sue, good battle in the final.

Some hits and misses,

but you took it all the way to the end.

-I hope you enjoyed the experience.

-I certainly have, Bill, yes.

It's been a pleasure meeting you and all the guys in the Think Tank.

Can you do me a favour? Before you go, call them to attention

-one more time, cos I need to know how to do it. Go on.

-Very well.

Attention!

-That's good stuff.

-At ease, soldiers.

-Oh, I love it.

-Well done, thanks ever so much.

-Thank you.

-Andy is our winner.

You're definitely taking home your prize of £1,200

and you will shortly have the chance

to add an extra £1,000 to your winnings.

First, though, let's take a moment to congratulate the Think Tanker

who gave the most correct answers during the show, and it was...

..Arminel! Well done.

So, Andy, you have one last chance now to boost your prize as you face

our Question: Impossible.

So, Andy, a stuttering start to begin with there in the final,

but you banged them in at the end with a hat-trick, didn't you?

-Thank you.

-Well done. Did you feel the pressure?

I did, I was worried that she was going to get away from me,

but lucky with the answers to the questions.

Good. 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.

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

Have a think about that. We'll give you a little bit of assistance.

We'll show you the answers that the Think Tank gave earlier,

which are all incorrect, OK?

This will help you rule a few things out.

So here's what they came up with. Robert Riley,

Steve Lewis, Chris O'Dowell, Henry, Adam Wayne, Dick Roberts,

Robin, and Dick Barton.

So a varied selection,

but you've got eight things you can knock off the list,

-which is quite useful for you.

-Yeah.

What do you think the answer is?

I should have paid more attention

to the cartoons I watched when I was a child.

Nothing's coming to me.

I think I'm going to have a guess at the surname being Wayne.

So I'll go for...

Robert Wayne.

-Robert Wayne is your answer?

-Robert Wayne.

-OK.

You currently have £1,200.

If you get this right, you'll add £1,000,

taking your total to £2,200.

You're saying it's Robert Wayne.

This for £2,200.

Let's see if you're right.

It's Dick Grayson. Does that ring any bells?

-Yeah, it does now, yeah.

-Does it?

-It's easy afterwards, yes.

-Yeah.

-And he went on, in fiction, to become the superhero Nightwing.

-I didn't know that.

-Yeah, OK.

So I'm sorry, you didn't conquer our Question: Impossible.

Still leaving with £1,200, which will contribute, at least,

I'd think, to you and your daughter going to North America to ski.

-Yeah.

-Well, OK, I hope you have a great trip.

-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...

-ALL:

-Bye.

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