Episode 27 Think Tank

Meet our Think Tank. They answered hundreds of 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 Jenny, an office manager from Great Abington in Cambridgeshire.

Bob, a marketing manager from West London.

And Anita, a retired nurse from Lordshill in Southampton.

This is Think Tank.

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

Now, one member of our cross-section of Britain

has a real daredevil streak.

They've skydived from 14,000 feet,

white-water rafted in grade five rapids

and conquered the world's highest bungee jump in South Africa.

And I can reveal that person is Jordan.

I know you thought it would be Ken, but it turns out to be Jordan.

Our three contestants are hoping for an adrenaline rush of their own,

because one of them will be leaving the show with a cash prize.

Welcome to you all. Jenny, are you up for a challenge?

Yes, I'm always up for a challenge, Bill.

I have completed a challenge of my own.

I did a zip wire from a lighthouse and raised some money for charity.

-How high was it, and how long was it?

-200 foot high

-and 200 metres to the ground, so...

-So you went from the top of the lighthouse...

-Right down to the ground.

-That's scary, isn't it?

-It was, a bit.

A bit windier up the top than I first thought, but, yeah...

I didn't think I was going to be nervous, but when I got to the top and looking down...

But there was someone waiting behind, so I thought, "I'd best go."

-You didn't pass out from the nerves?

-No, I didn't.

-Good. OK.

-So, what are your strongest subjects going to be?

-I love food and drink.

Obviously like eating it.

I like going out for meals, so food and drink's quite

-a strong subject. I like science and nature.

-Right.

-What do you need help with?

-History's a real weak one.

Didn't like it at school. Still not keen on it now, so...

Arminel, certain sections of history are certainly your area.

Certain periods. That's the big let-out when you get a history question wrong -

you say, "It's not my period."

-So, which is your period?

-We'll wait and see!

THEY CHUCKLE

Wait till the question comes my way!

Well, then, Jenny, good to have you with us. Bob...

-Hey.

-You like a challenge?

-Love a challenge, absolutely, yeah.

What's the greatest challenge you've taken on?

When I was at university,

I hitchhiked with a friend, the two of us,

all the way from Leicester, where I grew up, to Morocco in Africa. Yeah.

It took about eight days, but three or four of those days

were staying with people, stopping over, so it wasn't constant travel.

Must've been a bit of an adventure, though.

-Did you have any scary moments?

-No scary moments.

People are, like, incredibly charitable - you'd be surprised.

We even got picked up by two separate priests on Good Friday.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Well, that would've been a safe journey on Good Friday.

-No doubt.

-What's your strongest subject?

-Huge sports fan.

-Huge Leicester Tigers fan.

-And where do you think you're not so good?

I think I'd probably go for something like literature in particular.

Right, who here's read a book?

I've read Harry Potter!

-Harry Potter does come up in questions sometimes.

-It does.

-The Hungry Caterpillar's a fave in my household!

-There you go.

Harry Potter, children's books - you'll be all right.

Otherwise, you're on your own. All right. Good to have you with us.

-Thank you.

-And Anita...

-Hello.

-Welcome to you. You're retired now.

-I am.

But we always find that retired people keep themselves very busy.

-What are you up to?

-I do all sorts of bits and pieces.

I help look after the grandchildren.

My main thing is going out looking for antiques and collectables.

-We like to go to the fairs.

-What do you collect?

My main collection, at home, is taxidermy, which is stuffed animals.

-So, what's the most interesting stuffed animal you've got?

-A badger.

He's quite attractive. He's got a bit of a strange look on his face!

-I don't think he liked being stuffed!

-Well, OK.

And, Anita, what are you best at, subject-wise?

Well, having been a nurse for 40 years,

-I suppose any kind of medical questions.

-Right.

-And weakest topic for you?

-Weakest - the same as Jenny.

-I'm not very good at history.

-All right.

-And politics, as well.

-That's a poor one.

-Well, with a bit of luck,

-someone will be able to help you on the Think Tank.

-Yeah, hopefully.

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.

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

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

The two highest scorers will go through to the final.

Ultimately, though, just one walks away with a cash prize.

So, let's play the first round.

I'm going to ask you each 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.

Any number of mistakes in the mix, as well.

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

Two questions each. Jenny, you're up first,

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

While you think on that, let's see what the Think Tank thought,

starting with Jordan.

Rita Ora.

Taylor Swift.

Rita Ora.

Ellie Goulding.

Taylor Swift.

Beyonce.

Taylor Swift.

Ellie Goulding.

A glamorous cast to canoodle with,

-but only one of them's going to be the right answer.

-Yep.

I had in my mind it was somebody blonde,

so I think it's...

-Ellie Goulding.

-Ellie Goulding's your answer?

-Yes.

Let's see if you're right.

Ellie Goulding it was. Well done.

These reports of canoodling led to suggestions that they were

actually dating, but one knows not.

Maybe they were just...

-Friends.

-Friends! Exactly.

Thanks so much, Jenny.

-£200 is added to your prize fund.

-Excellent.

And well done to Peter and Lucy for getting that right. Well done.

So, Bob, you've seen how it works.

Here is your first question.

What did the Think Tank come up with?

The Bill.

The Sweeney.

The Bill.

The Bill.

The Sweeney.

The Bill.

The Bill.

Porridge.

A clear majority of the Think Tank going for The Bill.

Doesn't necessarily mean they're right, though.

-What do you think, Bob?

-Off the bat, I don't know the answer.

But I think I can quickly rule out Porridge, just based on

the fact that they're already in prison, so they've been nicked.

Er...

And then The Sweeney doesn't actually ring any bells at all,

so I'm going to go with a show I've heard of and the majority of

the panel. I'm going to go with The Bill, please.

OK, you're saying "you're nicked" was a catchphrase from The Bill.

Let's see if you're right.

It was The Sweeney, in fact. Very famous phrase. It was... John Thaw

used to say it as Inspector Regan. "You're nicked."

There you go. So, nothing for you there, Bob.

Plenty of other chances to come.

-And, Anita, we move on to you.

-Thank you.

What did the Think Tank come up with there? Jordan?

James Bond.

Kim Philby.

James Bond.

Riot Club.

Anthony Blunt.

Anthony Blunt.

Donald Sutherland.

Hugh Bonneville.

A bit of a mixture of fact and fiction on that one.

-What do you think, Anita?

-I think I'm going to get stuck!

I can rule out James Bond, because he's a famous spy,

but I don't think he was one of the famous Cambridge Spies.

Er, I probably will go for the majority and go for Anthony Blunt.

Anthony Blunt is your answer. Let's see if you're right.

You are indeed. Anthony Blunt it was.

In 1951, in fact, he arranged for Kim Philby and Donald Maclean

to escape from Britain. Well done to Ken and Arminel, who got that right.

-And, Peter, did you read the question right?

-I misread it.

I thought it was, like, a Cambridge gang or something and I remember

-there was a lot of political people that were in the Riot Club.

-OK.

-So I was thinking more of that sense.

-OK. All right.

Well, well done, Anita. £200 is added to your prize fund,

and we come back to Jenny for your second question.

Here's what the Think Tank thought.

Manchester.

Rome.

Barcelona.

Paris.

Milan.

Cardiff.

Madrid.

Copenhagen.

You actually have eight different choices there, Jenny.

-So not terribly helpful for you.

-No.

I'm just trying to think,

who's probably the best one to help me out with this answer?

I'm going to stay in this country

and I'm going to go with Ken with Cardiff.

OK. You're saying Cardiff.

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

-It was Milan.

-Sorry.

-Never mind.

It was a match played between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

-Real won it. Arminel, the only one to get that right.

-I know!

How did you know that?

I do have four sons, the oldest one of which works for the FA,

and so, by osmosis, I have picked up a few facts

and just remembered it.

Well, well done. Well remembered, indeed.

OK. No money for you there, Jenny.

Bob, we move on to you for your second question.

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

52B Baker Street.

221B Baker Street.

Scotland Yard.

Baker Street.

122B Baker Street.

221A Baker Street.

49 Park Lane.

221B Baker Street.

-So, what do you think?

-So, er...

I knew it was Baker Street.

Er, I'm almost certain it's a B,

so then that kind of leaves me with three answers.

I'm going to go with Cleve and Lucy.

I'm going to go for 221B Baker Street, please.

OK, Sherlock Holmes' London address. You say it was 221B Baker Street.

Let's see if you've chosen correctly.

You have indeed. Well done!

In real life, that is now the address of the Sherlock Holmes Museum,

on Baker Street. Well done. And well done, Cleve and Lucy.

Good job. £200, then, for you, Bob. Anita, here is your second question.

Thank you.

Here's what the Think Tank made of that.

Kathleen.

Karen.

Katherine.

Kas.

Katherina.

Kathleen.

Katherine.

Kate.

So, they're all sort of bunched together, in a way, aren't they?

But you've got to pick one.

I've never read any of her books - I'm not a fan of fantasy stuff -

but I have heard the initials recently and it's just trying

to remember which one it is, really.

I think I'm going to say Katherine.

-Katherine?

-Yes.

-OK.

Let's see if you have the right answer.

Kathleen, it was, in fact. She's Joanne Kathleen.

So, Jordan, you were on the money there with that one. And Ken.

Well done. So, nothing for you there, Anita.

That brings us to the end of the first round.

Let's take a look at how you're all doing, and you're all tied on £200.

Who's going to take the lead in the next round? Let's find out.

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.

For every correct answer, you get another £200 for your prize fund.

The range of questions reflects their varied interests and knowledge.

Once a Think Tanker has asked both of the questions,

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

-OK.

The whole bunch to choose from,

so who do you think is of the same mind as you?

I think I'm... Yeah, I'm going to go with my instinct.

I'm going to go with Cleve,

because we're both wearing the same colour, so...

I think we're very coordinating today, Cleve,

so hopefully I'll know the answer to yours.

Well, if the colours unite us,

then hopefully you might get the answer to this one.

-I hope you're a sports fan.

-Yeah, I'm not too bad.

Ah, well, in that case...

Thank you, Cleve.

I do know the answer to that one, so thank you very much.

Yeah, it's Leicester. They went to win the Premier title.

Leicester? CLEVE INHALES SHARPLY

Yes, Leicester City.

Jamie Vardy scored 24 goals, bettered only by Harry Kane.

You love cranking up the tension, don't you?

-Oh, I do, I do, I do, I do!

-Well done, Jenny.

£200 added to your total. And, Bob, you're up next.

-You can still choose anyone you like.

-OK. Er...

I'm going to pick Lucy.

-Well, this is also a sports question.

-OK.

Quite a niche sports question, which hopefully you'll know.

I know the answer to this, cos I actually went to see this at

the 2012 Olympics at Greenwich Park.

I mean, that's definitely more niche than the last sports question.

But, er, if I had to think about which equestrian disciplines

there are, there aren't many I can name. I guess, show jumping.

But a piaffe sounds like a dance move

and so I'm going to go for dressage.

-Dressage?

-Well deducted!

It is, indeed, dressage.

Good job. Well done.

And do you know what it is?

I think, is it the little picky-uppy feet thingies?

Yes, it's when a horse executes a slow, elevated trot without moving,

-so it does the clippy-cloppy thing, yes.

-Lifty-up.

-All right.

Well done, Bob. £200 added to your running total.

And, Anita, you're up next. Who would you like to go with?

They all look as if they know a lot! So...

Yeah, they LOOK as if they know a lot.

They look as if they know a lot!

I think I'm going to go for Peter, cos he's got a cute little face.

-THINK TANK:

-Aw!

Look at his cute...

Have you got a cute little question, though, Peter?

Yes, it's quite a fun one.

-I hope you watch a lot of films, or some films.

-Some!

So, it's a film question.

Who provides the voice for Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story films?

I'm trying to think of that one. I know who plays Woody. Er...

Oh, my goodness! I think it might be...

-Not Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks, I think it might be.

-Tom Hanks?

I'm afraid you're wrong. It's Tim Allen!

Tim Allen.

-Tom Hanks is the voice of Woody.

-Oh, is he?

-Yeah.

So, sorry, nothing for you there, Anita.

We come back to Jenny for your next question and you can still

choose the entire field.

I'm going to go for Jordan, only because that's my husband's name, as well, so...

I'll go for the female version of Jordan.

-Looking very glamorous on the end!

-Thanks! It's a great unisex name.

So, this is a TV question.

This is a show that was out on every Monday night and I was

obsessed with it, so I hope you might have been as well.

Er, I'm... I'm not a Friends fan, so it's probably not

a great question for me. I'm trying to think of him.

He's got dark hair.

No, I can't think. Er...

I can see the faces but I really don't know the actor's name,

-so I'm just going to have to go for Woody Allen!

-Woody Allen?

I'm afraid it wasn't. It was David Schwimmer.

-David Schwimmer, indeed.

-Sorry.

-OK, nothing for you there, Jenny.

Bob, we come to you and you can still go with all of the eight.

I really liked both Jordan and Cleve's first questions.

Sticking with that, I'm going to go for Jordan again, please.

So, if you liked my TV question,

hopefully you also share my passion for musicals, perhaps.

I'm obsessed with musicals, which is why I got this question.

I'm actually also a big musical fan!

My girlfriend in particular, because getting to live in London

means that we get to go to a lot of them.

We've been to see this show and it's...

-It's Wicked.

-Wicked?

It is Wicked. Well done!

-Can either of you give us a line from the song?

-After you!

-Er...

-I could certainly try and speak a line.

-Speak a line?

You speak a line, Jordan will sing it. She's got a wonderful voice.

I think it just goes, "Popular, I want to be popular."

And then, please, if you could give us some harmony with that.

# Popular

# You're gonna be popular. #

THEY CHEER

OK. Well done. £200 for you, Bob. Anita, here is your next question.

You can't ask Jordan, but you can choose anyone else.

This time, I think I'd like to go with Abi, because she's a doctor,

and I'm hoping it might be a medical question that I can answer.

Great. So, yes, it is...

-Ooh, good!

-My first question is a medical question, so...

Right, I'm just hoping I do remember this now!

I know it's where you've got the malformation of the bones

-and I think it's because of the lack of vitamin C.

-Vitamin C?

-Oh, I'm afraid it's vitamin D!

-Oh, no!

-C is for scurvy.

-Of course, yes.

So, vitamin D deficiency, which can lead to a softening of the bones.

And helped by...

-Vitamin D, you get from...

-Sun!

-Sunlight. Indeed.

-Not in here! Sun!

OK. Nothing for you there, Anita, I'm afraid.

Jenny, we come back to you for your third question and you can

still choose seven of the eight - just not Jordan.

-Someone we haven't had. I'm going to go for Diane.

-Hello.

-Hi, Diane.

-Hi.

I have a politics question for you, Jenny. And the question is...

Er, I'm not very good at politics -

it's probably one of my least favourites.

Thank you, Diane!

But the name sounds pretty French, so I'm going to go for France.

-France?

-Oh!

It's a French name, but it's Canada. Sorry!

Canada was the answer we were looking for.

Justin Trudeau, son of Pierre Trudeau,

who was also Prime Minister of Canada at one point.

So nothing for you there, Jenny.

Bob, we come to you, and still seven out of the eight.

I'm going to go for Ken.

I think, because, whilst not, maybe, of my generation,

my dad has given me a lot of useless knowledge over the years,

-so I'm hoping he shares some of it!

-THEY CHUCKLE

Well, I'm glad you said my knowledge is useless!

I'm really impressed by that!

-So I picked an extra-hard question for you.

-Serves me right.

When I was your age, and maybe a bit younger,

my mother was a cinema usherette,

so I used to go to the cinema - she'd get free tickets for me.

I used to go at least three times a week,

so I'm absolutely a fanatic of old films.

This is about a film.

I'm just tried to think which films I know with Marilyn Monroe in

and, at the moment, under these circumstances, I can't think of any!

Er...

Oh, I think I've just thought of one she was in.

I think she was in Some Like It Hot. So I'm going to go with that,

-as that's the only answer that's come to mind.

-That's your answer?

-Some Like It Hot, Ken?

-No, actually, it's a lovely film.

-It's called The Misfits.

-The Misfits.

She was in Some Like It Hot,

but The Misfits was the film with Clark Gable,

and it had a script written by her then husband, Arthur Miller.

So, nothing for you there, Bob. Anita, we come to you and, again,

you can choose anybody apart from Jordan.

-Er, I think I'll go for Ken also.

-Ken again.

Cos I'm more of your generation, Ken...

-Yes.

-..so I think we might be on the same wavelength, hopefully!

I've obviously forgotten my medicine, so...

THEY CHUCKLE

Well, thank you, dear. I'll try an easy question for you, dear.

-Thank you very much!

-Right.

I think I might know this one, because, as you can see,

I do like my meringues and puddings!

I have a feeling, er,

pavlova.

-Pavlova?

-Well done. Excellent.

-Well done.

Anna Pavlova was her full name. Well done.

£200 for you, Anita, and that brings us to the end of that round,

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

Jenny and Anita tied on £400. In the lead with £600,

-it's Bob.

-Well done.

So, you each picked three questions, but none of you chose to hear

from Arminel, who is one of the cleverest members of

the Think Tank, so we can't leave her out.

Arminel, what was your question going to be?

Not a very brainy one - a Eurovision one. And it is...

Just for fun - and you might want to try this at home -

Celine Dion won the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest for which country?

Got any ideas?

-Canada?

-I think Canada.

-Yeah, that's what I was going to say.

-Canada?

You're all saying Canada. Arminel?

No, she IS Canadian but, being Canadian, she's Francophone,

so she was able to sing in Eurovision for Switzerland.

-Switzerland?

-Yeah, Switzerland!

-That's amazing.

-I'd have said France, myself.

-Me, too.

Can you remember what the song was?

-No. No, no, no, no.

-THEY CHUCKLE

-Anybody?

-No.

-No.

-Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi.

-Oh, yes!

That was it!

Don't Leave Without Me, which is what I'm always saying to you,

and you always do! All right.

Arminel, thanks very much, and let's get back down to the competition.

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

but you have one last chance to take the lead.

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

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

they gave before the show and their reasons behind it.

Only one of them will have the right answer, though, so if you

side with the correct person, you'll get £200 for your prize fund.

Just five questions left, though, before we do have to say

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

Here is the first question.

Answers coming up from Arminel and Cleve. Arminel, please.

My answer is Chile, because Chile is a very long country, which goes

all the way down the side of South America, and I also thought that

not only does it have a long coastline, but it's probably got

a very indented coastline, as well,

which will add loads of extra miles to it.

-So my answer is Chile.

-Cleve?

My answer to this is far more scientific.

It's simply because, after Brazil, Argentina are their greatest rivals.

So if they rival in everything, they'll rival for coastline.

So my answer is Argentina.

Arminel says Chile, Cleve thinks it's Argentina.

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

All three of you have gone for Chile.

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

Chile it is. Well done.

Slight discrepancy in reasoning there, I thought, between you.

Mine's obviously the scientific one!

Chile has more than 6,400km of coastline, so well done, Arminel.

£200 to all of you and we move on to the next question.

Abi and Lucy having a go at this one. Abi?

So I went with February, because my birthday's in February

and I celebrate my birthday like it's Christmas.

And also, I share my birthday with Ashton Kutcher, who's a twin,

so that's two, and I also know...

I just seem to find there's a lot of celebrities,

or a lot of people I meet, who have children born on February the 11th.

That seems to be a really popular date. So I went with February.

-Lucy?

-OK, I went with the month of September.

I tried to think about the length of time of gestation and what

might be happening ten months or, you know, 40 weeks prior,

and I'm thinking, September arrives, you know, 40 weeks after

quite a cold spell, where people aren't going out so much!

So I went with September.

Right, well, Abi said February, Lucy goes with September.

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

You've all gone with September. Are you right?

Yes, indeed!

APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH

OK. Well done, Lucy. £200 to all of you.

We move on to your next question.

Diane and Peter, here. Diane?

Well, I felt that if it's an ambassadorial role,

it's an important role, and I decided to say Your Excellency.

-Peter?

-Well, I'm a part-time reservist and we have to call, like,

officers Sir and Ma'am and I thought it would be Your Honour.

Your Honour? OK.

Diane says Your Excellency.

Peter's going with Your Honour. What do you think, contestants?

Lock in your answers, please.

Two have of you have gone with Your Excellency,

Bob says it's Your Honour.

Who's right?

It is Your Excellency.

Jenny and Anita got that right. £200 for you. Question number four...

Jordan and Ken having a go here. Jordan?

Well, I've actually been to Coronado Bay but whilst I was there,

I did not witness any surfing animals, I'm afraid.

So I thought back to a scene in Anchorman where there is

a jet-skiing squirrel and I thought,

"If they can jet ski, maybe they can surf,"

-so I said squirrels.

-Ken?

Well, I've also been to the Coronado Bay Hotel -

not the same time as our friend here!

This hotel has a claim to fame,

cos it was used in the film Some Like It Hot.

Also, its claim to fame is that it has a surfing competition for dogs.

So, Jordan says squirrels, Ken says dogs.

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

All three of you going with dogs.

Are you barking up the right tree?

-Well done.

-You are indeed. Well done!

A surf-boarding squirrel? That I would like to see!

Yeah, as soon as I said it, I thought,

"A surf board would probably be rather large for a squirrel!"

Yeah, and Anchorman may look like real life,

but it wasn't a documentary, so...

-Oh, it wasn't?

-No.

-Oh, OK.

Felt like it sometimes, though. OK. £200 to each of you. Well done.

We're coming to the final question in this round, then,

and you are all tied, so this is a pretty important one, OK?

Here it is...

Arminel and Lucy. Arminel?

Well, I tried to do some maths on this, and so I counted up

what I thought were the biggest nations, and I think I reckoned that

there were six large nations, and I decided to give them an average

of 50 million each, which got me up to 300 million, and than I thought,

"Well, there are 22 other smaller nations," so I gave them

an average population of I forget now what, but I can remember

that was the maths I was doing

and that was why I came up with the answer of 500.

Lucy?

I did a very similar thing to Arminel but I overinflated

the figures a little more than she did.

In the totting up in my head, I came to 800 million.

So, Arminel says 500 million, Lucy's going with 800 million.

What are you going to go with, contestants?

You're all tied at the moment. This could be a real decider.

All three of you have gone with 500. Are you right?

500 million it is. Well done.

£200 to you all,

so that brings us to the end of the main game and you're all tied -

we've never had this before - on £1,400.

Only two of you can go through to the final,

so there will be a tie-break to determine who will go through.

All three of you taking part, OK?

Now, this deciding question has a numerical answer,

so the two players closest to the correct answer will be in the final.

So here is the question.

The two of you who get closest to that answer will be going

through to the final. Please lock in your answers.

Let's see what totals you've come up with, then.

Jenny, you've gone with 65.

Bob, you've gone for 1,500.

Anita has chosen 21.

The answer is...

So you're all some way off! Some further than others.

I'm afraid, Anita,

that means you are going to have to leave us.

Jenny and Bob were closest to the correct answer and go through

to the final. Well done, you two. Sorry, Anita. It was really close.

That's never happened on the show before, so well done.

Thanks for playing. Hope you've enjoyed it.

I've had a great time but I'm no good at sport,

so I didn't even know how to work out the points.

Well it's... They don't even know at the Olympics sometimes, I don't think!

-OK, Anita, thanks very much.

-Thank you.

-Jenny and Bob, congratulations.

Well done. You two are now going to compete to take home

the money you've earned in our final.

Now, Jenny, hope you're recovering your nerves after that.

If you win today, what will you do with your prize?

I like to travel with the family,

so perhaps put it towards taking our little one to EuroDisney.

She's 3½, so she likes all princesses so, yeah,

perhaps put it towards that.

And I love shopping, so perhaps save a little bit and go on

-a little shopping spree for myself.

-Sounds like fun. Bob?

Well, I live in Central London and often find it hard to get out at the weekends,

so me and my girlfriend would love to put it towards a VW camper van,

so we can take short breaks and trips to the Continent

-and around the UK.

-Anywhere particular you want to go?

Spend some more time in Cornwall. It's beautiful down there.

-OK, all right. Good luck to both of you.

-Thank you.

Our final is a general knowledge battle.

You'll be asked 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, though -

the Think Tank's still here to help you if they can.

You can pick someone to consult with before you answer each question.

Each member can only be picked once this time,

and the difference in the final, compared to the rest of

the show, is that they know as little about these questions

as you do, in terms, they haven't seen them before,

-so just as much in the dark. OK, shall we play the final?

-Yeah.

All right, here we go.

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

A bit of history for you. Who do you want to choose?

-Er, I'm going to go with Ken on this one, please.

-My first idea was...

I don't know what do you think - tell me if you think differently -

but I thought Richard the Lionheart.

Yeah, I'm going to go with Ken. Yeah, I like his answer.

I'm going to go for Richard the Lionheart.

Richard the Lionheart is your answer, Jenny.

Let's see if you're right.

Richard I, Richard the Lionheart - you are right.

-Well done.

-Yay!

Thanks, Ken.

So busy fighting crusades,

-he didn't spend very much time of his reign in England.

-No.

OK, Jenny, 1-0 to you. Bob, here's your first question.

-Who can help you here?

-Er...

So, I personally have got no idea,

so I'm going to go for someone who looks like they're well-read.

It could be a children's book, so maybe I should go for Lucy.

-I'm going to go with... Arminel.

-You have no idea?

-No idea.

It's not a children's book. I know this very well.

Very, very funny books.

Bertie Wooster's butler is Jeeves

-and the author is PG Wodehouse, so...

-Amazing!

-If we combine our knowledge...

-THEY CHUCKLE

-..then I'm going to go for PG Wodehouse, please.

-PG Wodehouse.

Are you right?

Of course you are, indeed. PG Wodehouse it is.

-One all, then. Jenny, we'll move on to you.

-Thank you.

Here's your second question.

-Who do you think will be able to help you here?

-Don't know.

It's a question...about dinosaurs, by the looks of it, so...

-I'm going to go with Abi.

-Er, I did do Latin at school.

I'm trying to think where it would...

What does... I'm trying to think of, er,

words that currently would still have the word "rex".

Do you have any idea?

The only thing I can think of at the moment is a Pyrex dish.

Tyrannosaurus rex. Pyrex, yeah.

-Does anything ring a bell with your Latin that you used to do?

-No.

I feel like... I feel like it's almost attached to a word,

if that makes sense.

For some reason, when the word popped into my head,

I was thinking of, like...

-Resin? Like a glue, resin?

-Possibly.

I'm not sure. I'm so sorry. Er...

-I'm going to go with resin.

-You're going to go with resin?

-Yeah.

-OK.

What does the word "rex" mean when translated from the Latin?

Jenny, you're saying resin. Let's see if you're on the money, though.

-It means "King".

-Oh!

-Oh!

-King.

-Did not know that.

-Tyrannosaurus rex.

OK. So, nothing for you there, Jenny. Still one all. Bob, you can

take the lead here with your second question.

Who do you think will be able to assist you here?

I think I'm going to go with Diane for this one.

Thinking of French regions...

So, what have we got? We've got Bordeaux.

Is Bayonne a region, maybe?

-You've got Brittany.

-Brittany, yeah. Brive?

Brittany was the only B that really popped into my mind.

-But, obviously, I'm not sure.

-OK. Right. Let's take a punt, then.

Er...going to flip a coin between Brive and Bayonne

and I'm going to go with...

..Bordeaux.

THEY CHUCKLE

-Bordeaux is your answer?

-Yes, please.

-OK.

Let's see if you've chosen correctly.

-It's Brittany...

-Oh, no!

-..which is in the extreme north-west of the country.

-Yeah.

I think we were half right. Just for saying that.

So, Bob, incorrect for you there, as well.

Scores are still one all, though. Jenny, here's your third question.

-I haven't seen that film.

-Where are you going to go with this one?

-I'm going to go with Jordan.

-Oh, no!

-Seems to like her films!

-OK.

-Have you seen this film?

-No, I haven't.

-Me neither! Interstellar.

For some reason, I'm thinking either Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks, but did...

-Yeah, I don't think it's Tom Hanks.

-I haven't seen it, so I'm afraid...

Out of the two, with a guess, I'm just going to go with Tom Cruise.

-Tom Cruise is your answer...

-Yes, please.

..as the actor who played the role of the astronaut Cooper

in the film Interstellar. Was it Tom Cruise?

-It was Matthew McConaughey.

-Way off! Sorry!

Directed by Christopher Nolan.

OK, sorry, Jenny, nothing for you there.

Bob, you can take the lead again if you get this one right.

So, we have left for you Cleve, Peter or Lucy.

I'll default for the man who's been asking sporting questions

himself, so I'm going to go with Cleve on this one.

-Could be darts or a snooker...

-I was thinking that.

I was thinking, kind of, darts, not for any reason!

My own personal opinion is, I would rule out darts

but I'm not saying to rule it out altogether.

Yeah, cos I've got no idea what era.

Maybe something in... Maybe boxing,

one of the lighter weights in boxing, maybe, cos I know

some of the heavier ones, but the lighter ones?

It's a big city for boxing, as well.

I'm between darts and boxing, but I'm going to lump

all the responsibility on Cleve and we're going to go...

-I'll take it - broad shoulders!

-I trust the man!

-Let's go boxing, please.

-Boxing is your answer?

-Yes, please.

Let's see if you've chosen correctly.

Boxing it is. Well done. Good guess.

-He won the WBC cruiserweight belt in 2016.

-Oh!

-OK.

So, 2-1 to you, Bob. Jenny, here is your fourth question.

Who's going to swing at this one for you?

-Just Lucy and Peter to help you.

-I'm going to go with Peter.

I'm afraid sports is not my thing,

cos I spend most of it in the cinema, so I'm afraid...

Where is Augusta?

I think it's probably America, yeah, maybe, because the Masters

are something like Europe versus USA, sort of thing.

I'm going to go with Jordan Speith, cos I do know that is

a golfer and he has won something but I'm not sure if it's Augusta.

But it's the name that's coming to mind, so...

-Jordan Speith...

-Yeah.

-..is your answer?

-Mm-hm.

-Is it Jordan Speith?

It was Danny Willett.

First Englishman to win the competition since 1996.

So, the score is 2-1 to Bob, which means, Bob,

if you get this question right,

you will be today's winner. Here it is.

-And you have Lucy to help you.

-TV comedy.

Yeah, so I'm trying to think of TV comedies with reverends in.

It could be anything small villagey or it could be, like, Father Ted.

Yes, Father Ted, I was thinking.

That's a great series, and I don't particularly know actors' names,

so I can't place within.

There's also Vicar Of Dibley, but then that's obviously a female.

OK, I think on this occasion, let's just go with Father Ted, please.

Father Ted is your answer as the TV comedy series in which

Tom Hollander plays the role of the Reverend Adam Smallbone.

Have you guessed correctly? This is to be today's winner.

-Rev is the answer we were looking for.

-Sorry!

-Very funny series!

-Thank you, though.

-So, this is your fifth question.

No Think Tankers left to help you out, so from here on,

you're on your own and, Jenny, if you get this one wrong,

then Bob will be today's winner.

-No pressure!

-No!

-Here it is...

Geographical feature. The only thing I can think of is the eye.

-The eye is your answer?

-Yeah.

-OK.

Your answer is the eye, to stay in the game. Let's see if you're right.

It's a waterfall that we're looking for. So, Bob,

you are today's winner. Congratulations!

There are cataracts to do with eyes but we were looking for

a geographical feature and waterfall is the answer we needed.

I was thinking of the London Eye.

Taken from the Greek for "down rushing", cataract.

So, sorry, Jenny, you're not taking anything home but I hope you

-had fun playing with this lot here.

-Yeah, I have. Thank you very much.

-Thanks, Think Tank.

-Well competed. Well done.

Bob, as our winner, you're definitely taking home your prize of £1,400

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

First, though, let's congratulate the Think Tanker who gave

the most correct answers during today's show, and it was...

..Arminel. Well done, Arminel.

So, Bob, one last chance for you now to boost your prize

as you face our Question: Impossible.

Bob, this is the toughest question of the whole show coming up,

because no-one in the Think Tank got it right earlier.

If you can achieve what none of them could and give us

-a correct answer, then an extra £1,000 will be yours, OK?

-Perfect.

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

Have a think about that. We'll give you a hand, cos we're going to show you

the wrong answers that the Think Tank gave earlier.

This will rule things out for you. So here's what they came up with.

St Helen's Park, the Norfolk Broads, Longleat, the Forest of Dean,

the Yorkshire Dales, Snowdonia and Hyde Park.

-So, seven things you can knock off the list.

-Yeah.

-Does that help you at all?

-I don't know the answer.

I assume it's not something like the Lake District.

Presumably that was branded a national park way before 2010.

Maybe somewhere south, like the Cotswolds.

Maybe it wasn't official until then.

I think I'm going to go with...

the Cotswolds.

-The Cotswolds...

-Cotswolds, yeah.

-..is your answer. OK.

Which of Britain's national parks is the most recent,

having become established in 2010?

You currently have £1,400 you're taking home.

If you get this right, you have an extra £1,000.

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

It's the South Downs.

-So it was south.

-Sorry.

-Yeah. That's great, though.

It takes in parts of the counties of Hampshire, West Sussex and East Sussex.

So, sorry - you didn't quite make it. You didn't conquer the Question: Impossible.

But with £1,400,

that'll go some way towards getting a camper van, I hope.

-Oh, absolutely, yeah.

-And then you can explore the South Downs.

-Yeah, exactly.

-OK.

Thanks very much for being with us, Bob. Well done.

-Thank you for having me.

-Thank you, guys.

-It's a pleasure.

-Pleasure.

Thanks for watching. Do join us next time,

when three more contestants will see whether they can bank on the Think Tank.

Till then, it's goodbye from them.

-THINK TANK:

-Bye!

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