Episode 8 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 Gary,

a local government officer from Poplar in London,

Scott, an English teacher from Largs in North Ayrshire,

and Emma, a personal assistant from Greenwich in London.

This is Think Tank.

APPLAUSE Welcome to the show.

Welcome, as ever, to our Think Tank -

and what a charitable and friendly bunch they are.

Retired engineer Len is a volunteer with the Stroke Association,

and former holiday rep Ken helps run a social club for OAPs.

Will they be as generous, then, to our contestants?

They'll certainly be hoping so.

So let's meet them.

Gary, nice to see you.

What brought you here today?

My ex-wife suggested that I apply for this,

cos she thought it would suit me.

It's an affable show with lots of chatter,

and she thought that would suit me down to the ground.

Any particular claims to fame, Gary?

I actually was on Top Of The Pops

dancing to David Bowie doing Starman

on the 14th of April 1972.

A day that's stayed with you forever.

Brilliant. And it's there forever for everybody to see.

Well, it appears so. Indeed.

OK. Good to have you with us, Gary.

Scott, welcome.

You are an English teacher.

Who do you teach to? I've just moved back from Budapest,

I was there for five years teaching English as a foreign language.

And I've run my own school, as well -

I've done that in Spain and in England. Oh, gosh.

Two separate schools. You've got a lot of experience.

Yes. Do you like your sport?

I'm a big, big sports nut.

Rugby is my main sport.

Played for about 20 years,

and I'm actually an international rugby player, Bill.

Are you, indeed? I am. Yes. The accent doesn't give it away,

but I actually played rugby league for Hungary back in 2011.

You were living in Hungary, you knew how to play rugby league,

and that got you in? Pretty much, Bill, yep!

Mark, you've played rugby to quite a high level, haven't you?

Yeah, a reasonably high level.

I was good at running away from big, bad men!

Renowned for having the cleanest shorts at the end of the game.

A sign of true success.

All right. Welcome.

And, Emma, you are a personal assistant.

What did you do before that?

I was a mystery shopper.

ALL: Ooh! I was undercover.

Jackie, were you a mystery shopper once?

I was a mystery diner.

I used to go to restaurants and eat certain things.

Free food, then? Yeah.

Along my lines, that, yeah. Free food.

OK. Any guilty pleasures, Emma?

Oh, loads.

But I'd say the top one's Coronation Street.

Can't miss it, wouldn't miss it.

I was born on a Wednesday at 7:30pm,

and I do wonder if the strains of the theme tune

were playing in the background.

OK. Welcome to all three of you.

Now, over three rounds,

our contestants will try to tap into the knowledge of the Think Tank

to build up as much money as possible.

The Tankers have tried to answer all of the questions

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

The two highest scorers go through to the final.

Ultimately, though, just one will walk away with a 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

that they gave before the show.

The correct answer is always there somewhere,

but also could be some mistakes, as well.

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

You get two questions each.

Gary, you're up first. Here's a question we put to the Think Tank.

Have a think about that

while we see what the Think Tank thought - starting with Mark.

Well, there is a right answer in there somewhere, Gary.

Yes...

Immediately, it doesn't come to mind what it might be.

Of course, Judi Dench is associated with James Bond,

because she was M.

But the others... I think going on weight of numbers,

perhaps Gillian Anderson would be the one I would go for.

So you're saying Gillian Anderson.

Let's see if you're right.

You are, Gillian Anderson is the right answer. Well done.

Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba were the names being touted by the media

at the time, and Scully from X-Files is Gillian Anderson.

So I kind of got it right. Sort of, ish. Yeah!

Well done, Max and Mark, certainly, for getting it bang on the money.

And well done to you, Gary. ?200 for you.

Scott, you've seen how it works, here's your first question.

Where did the Think Tank go with this?

Well, half of the Think Tank going with Delia Smith.

Does that make them right, though?

Do you go with weight of numbers, do you go with the mystery man,

Brian Ross? I'm not sure who that is, Ken.

Possibly the least famous

actor, writer and television personality going!

Yeah, a lot of folk said Delia,

but I don't think she's ever done any acting.

I am going to go with Lucy's answer of Stephen Fry.

OK. You're saying it's Stephen Fry.

Have you chosen correctly?

Stephen Fry it is, well done.

Delia Smith, chosen by half of you,

is a majority shareholder at Norwich City

but didn't step down from the board in 2016, and is not an actor.

Lucy, how did you know that?

Well, I'm definitely not a football fan by any means,

but I am a Stephen Fry fan.

And I was following him, you know, in the media and whatnot.

I find him a really interesting guy.

So it's just one of those facts that sticks in your brain.

Well stuck. Proved handy today. Certainly did. OK.

?200 to you, Scott.

Well done.

Emma, we come to you for your first question.

What did the Think Tank pick for this?

Mark?

Half of the Think Tank have chosen oysters.

Yeah. There are some other maritime treats in there as well.

I wouldn't have known the answer to this question,

but I read a book a couple of months ago and it's set in Whitstable,

and I think the main character is called Pearl,

and it links in the oysters.

That seems to be the top answer from the Think Tank,

so I will go with oysters.

You're going with oysters.

Let's see if you're right.

Oysters it is, well done.

Ken, you've been to the festival? Yes.

I actually met Brian Ross there.

Thanks, Ken. And I didn't get it right, but I've been twice!

And I spent ages trying to remember what it was, and I couldn't.

Well, you do have to answer a whole lot of questions very quickly,

don't you? Sometimes you get a quick memory freeze.

Yes, that sometimes does happen.

That's a really good excuse, and we're going to buy it this time.

All right. Well done, Emma. ?200 for you.

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

What did the Think Tank compose here? Mark?

Six of the Think Tank go for Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Lionel Bart, the only other choice.

All right. Well, Oliver is quite an old musical.

You're looking at early '60s.

So that would be a bit too old

So that would be a bit too old

for Andrew Lloyd Webber's run of success.

I'm convinced it's Lionel Bart.

I'm convinced it's Lionel Bart.

Lionel Bart, going against the overwhelming majority.

Are you on the money here?

You are, indeed. Well done.

Ken and Len got that one right.

Well done. ?200 for you, Gary.

Scott, here is your second question.

Where did the Think Tank go with this?

Four for the Costa del Sol, three Blancas and a Brava.

What do you think? Well, I used to run a school in Spain,

and it was on the Costa de la Luz, which is the south-west.

I know Costa del Sol's really popular with British holiday-makers,

but despite, you know, the last question with Ken,

now I'm going to for him this time. He's a man that knows

what he's talking about with his travel and tourism,

and I'm going to say Costa Blanca.

You're saying it's the Costa Blanca, let's see if you're right.

It is the Costa Blanca, well done.

In the province of Alicante in eastern Spain -

and, presumably, when you were a holiday rep you worked there,

did you, Ken? I actually lived and worked in Costa Almeria,

which is not far from Costa de la Luz, where you were.

But you certainly know your Costas, don't you? Yes, I do, yes.

And well done to Jackie and Mark for getting that right,

as well as Ken. OK. ?200 for you, Scott.

Emma, we come to you, now.

Whom did the Think Tank choose for this one?

Seven different names to choose from, there.

Not terribly helpful, really, for you.

I hadn't heard about this at all.

One thing that sticks out is being a professor, so I'd say

that might rule out Emma Watson and Taylor Swift and Kristen Stewart

because they're quite young.

Out of those, the only one I know a little bit about

is Angelina Jolie.

I know she's become an ambassador

and she's doing quite a bit on the world stage,

so I'm wondering if she would maybe know a bit more about economics.

And the fact that she's come up twice -

I'll go for Angelina Jolie.

Angelina Jolie's your answer?

Yes. Let's see if you're right.

Angelina Jolie it is, well done.

And she'll be a visiting professor on the new masters course

run by The Centre For Women, Peace And Security Services.

Right. Well done. Great.

So, ?200 for you, Emma.

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

Let's take a look at how you're all doing.

You're all tied on ?400. Well done.

Well, that was a perfect round from you all.

A very rare occurrence. Well done.

Let's see what happens in the next round, then.

Every member of the Think Tank is holding two questions,

which they answered correctly before the show.

You're going to take it in turns to pick someone

whose knowledge you think you can match,

and for every correct answer another ?200 is added to your prize fund.

The range of questions reflect their varied interests and knowledge.

Once a Think Tanker has asked both of their questions,

they can't be picked again, OK?

Gary, you're going to go first.

The whole bunch to choose from, so who is on your wavelength?

I'm hoping Len might be on my wavelength.

Len? Well, I think, probably, with this one here,

we probably are going to be on the right wavelength here.

That's taken us back in time to my childhood.

Erm... Erm...

I think I do know the answer, though.

I think the answer to this is Roy Rogers.

Roy Rogers?

Spot on, Roy Rogers. Well done.

His real name was Leonard Franklin Slye.

Not very catchy, though.

But he was the quintessential good guy in the white cowboy hat.

The white horse. Indeed.

Well done, Gary. ?200 added to your running total.

Scott, you're up next, and you can still choose anyone you like.

I'll go for Mark, fellow rugby player and Scotsman.

Mark, our creative director.

OK, yep.

Wish I hadn't chosen Mark now.

Erm... Going with "little", I'll say Napoleon.

Napoleon, Mark?

Scott, it's an inspired guess. Well done.

Napoleon Bonaparte, and it was because he was petit, short.

There you go. ?200 to you, Scott.

Emma, you're up next.

And still all of the eight.

Erm, I'll go for Lucy.

Lucy? I am a huge tennis fan.

I particularly love when Wimbledon rolls round each year,

and because of my avid watching of this

I know the answer to this question,

so hopefully you have a similar interest

and might know the answer, too.

Erm... I'm not a sports fan at all,

not a tennis fan at all,

but just because they're always on the news and they're quite popular,

I think that I know his name.

I think it might be Jamie.

Jamie?

You think right, well done.

He won the Wimbledon mixed doubles in 2007,

and the men's doubles at the Australian Open in 2016.

He's also a Davis Cup winner. So a very talented doubles player.

Yes, they're exceptionally talented, the pair of them. OK.

?200 added to your running total.

You're still playing the perfect game, you guys, so keep it up.

Gary, who would you like to choose?

Still anybody there. Well, it worked last time so I'll try Len again.

Retired engineer Len.

I think we're back on the right track again.

You like music and early '70s, and maybe early '80s.

I've actually seen this singer and her band.

And I know that it's Suzi Quatro. Suzi Quatro?

Oh, he definitely knows, correct.

Well done.

US singer and bass player, of course. Yeah.

Was on Top Of The Pops a lot -

you might have been dancing behind her, as well,

at some point!

OK. Well done, Gary.

?200 for you. Scott, we come to you.

You can choose anyone, but not Len.

I'm going to pick Jackie.

Jackie? I think that cloning is an interesting subject...

LAUGHTER

I don't know where she's going with that.

..and when you look around, there's some you want to clone

and others you want to destroy the mould.

But it is an interesting subject.

So, my question is...

I think that happened in Scotland, actually, over on the east coast,

and if I remember correctly, it was Dolly the sheep. Dolly?

Excellent, yeah.

Developed at the Roslin Institute at the University of Edinburgh.

So well done. ?200 for you, Scott.

Emma, we come to you.

Still seven of the eight, just not Len.

Max, I'll go for, this time.

Max, our PR executive.

Well, then, Emma. This question actually combines

two of my real passions, literature and history.

It's one of the great writers of the 20th century,

so hopefully you'll be able to answer this question.

I have no idea at all.

Fighting for the Republicans,

so just thinking of countries that have had civil wars,

round about his era, the only one that springs to mind is...

..Spain? Is that your answer?

Yes. Spain?

You're absolutely right, well done. Oh!

He records his experiences in the book Homage To Catalonia.

?200 for you, Emma. Thank you. You guys are on fire, I have to say.

Still 100% for all of you so far.

See if you can keep it up. Gary, who is your next choice?

Still seven to choose from.

I think I'll choose Ken, if I may.

Ken? I hope you get this one.

That is a tough one.

I can't... Well, the only film I can think of,

and I don't think it's a Hitchcock one,

that might have something like Que Sera, Sera in it,

is a film called Roman Holiday.

But I don't think that's a Hitchcock.

So I'll go with that, Roman Holiday.

Roman Holiday, Ken?

Sadly, the film was called The Man Who Knew Too Much.

The Man Who Knew Too Much.

Clearly, I didn't!

So, someone had to trip up sooner or later.

Never mind, Gary. You're still doing very well.

Scott, we come to you -

and still, you can choose anyone you like apart from Len.

I think Diane's been quite quiet down the front, there -

unlike her - so I'll...

I'm always quiet!

OK. I'm sure that you will get this, as you've travelled in Europe.

I'm pretty sure that Tobermory is not yet a country.

I believe that was Great Uncle Bulgaria.

Bulgaria? Absolutely right.

Other places featuring Wombles were Tomsk, Tobermory, as you mentioned,

and Orinoco. Ah!

Good geography amongst the Wombles.

?200 for you, Scott.

Emma, we come to you again.

And still anyone but Len.

I'll go for Anisha, please.

Hi, Emma. Hello. So, I was obsessed with this TV show as a child,

so hopefully you know the answer.

Only one name springs to mind for an animated cartoon penguin,

so I'll just have to say that.

Is Pingu. Pingu?

Indeed, it is Pingu.

Well done!

Pingu first appeared in 1986.

He seemed like he was made of Plasticine.

He was made of Plasticine.

I just loved the way he walked.

And none of them spoke, it was just great.

He had a funny way of talking. What was the noise again?

THEY HONK

And there was a little baby one, wasn't there? There was a baby one!

It was brilliant, I used to watch it with my kids when they were little.

I loved it. They'd go off and do something else

and I'd just carry on watching.

All right. ?200 for you, Emma,

and that brings us to the end of the round.

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

Gary's on ?800.

In the lead and tied on ?1,000, still the perfect score,

Scott and Emma.

Well, one of you will have to leave the game soon,

but there's one last chance for any of you to take the lead.

You're very tightly bunched.

Gary, you can easily catch up.

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

Two members of the Think Tank will then tell you the answer they gave

before the show, and their reasons for giving it.

Only one of them will have the right answer.

If you side with the correct person,

you add what will be an all-important ?200

to your prize fund.

Five questions only before we have to say goodbye to one of you,

so choose your answers carefully.

And here is the first question.

Answers here from Ken and Lucy. Ken?

Well, of course, I was born in World War II,

and I've also been to this place several times,

and it's a marvellous place to go.

They have lots of museums,

lots of places that deal with the occupation,

and the answer is Channel Islands.

Lucy? The answer that I gave was Gibraltar.

It would have been a very strategically-placed occupation

for Germany, it would have given them control

of the Mediterranean Sea,

so kind of on balance and thinking on the geographical terms,

I thought it's Gibraltar.

Ken's saying the Channel Islands, Lucy's gone for Gibraltar.

Who do you think is right, contestants?

Please lock your answers in.

You're all saying the Channel Islands.

Let's see if you're right.

It's correct, Channel Islands, indeed.

Channel Islands - invaded in 1940,

liberated after the Germans surrendered.

Gibraltar, a very important naval base during the war,

but not occupied by the Germans. Not occupied.

So, ?200 to all of you.

Well done. And here is our next question.

Anisha and Max taking this one on. Anisha?

So, I'm not going to lie, guys,

like, classical music doesn't really make it onto my Spotify playlist.

But I am aware of, like, certain songs by Beethoven,

like the Fifth Symphony and, I think, Ode To Joy.

So I basically went with Beethoven as a composer.

Max? Well, I went with Mozart.

Obviously he's arguably the greatest composer of the 18th century,

started very young, was able to use one of the first pianos ever made,

created an incredible body of work like Little Night Music

and a range of amazing operas,

so I thought he must be the one

that the most people have requested on Desert Island Discs.

Anisha's chosen Beethoven, Max has gone for Mozart.

Who do you think is right?

Please lock in your answers.

All three of you are saying Mozart.

Agreed again. Are you on the right lines?

You are, indeed. Mozart is the answer.

825 people chose Mozart, 732 chose Beethoven.

Still a very popular choice.

?200 to all of you again.

Here is question number three.

Jackie and Len accepting the challenge on this one. Jackie?

As part of our travels, we like to go on cruises.

We've been on 12 different cruises.

And on one of the ships that we were on,

it wasn't a Captain - he was a Commodore.

Very nice chap he was as well.

But that's how I knew it, because it was a Commodore.

Len? My answer is a Vice Admiral.

As a child, I used to look through various books and whatever,

and I remember Vice Admiral was one of the ones that popped up there.

All right. Jackie's saying Commodore.

Len's gone for Vice Admiral.

Who would you be saluting, contestants?

Split verdict this time. Gary's gone for Vice Admiral.

Scott and Emma say it's a Commodore.

Who's right?

Commodore it is.

A Vice Admiral is above a Rear Admiral

but below an Admiral. So, ?200 again to Scott and Emma.

We come to question number four.

Mark and Ken having a go.

Mark? Well, I've gone for Matt Smith.

I have to compliment him on his wonderful sartorial taste -

he wore a Harris Tweed jacket in that.

And a nice little dicky bow tie.

So I think it was Matt Smith.

Ken? The only connection I've really got with Doctor Who is,

I was around when they used to have the blue police boxes

on our street corners.

The only one I could think of is David Tennant.

I think he's quite young and I think he probably is one of the youngest.

Mark's chosen Matt Smith. Ken's gone for David Tennant.

Who do you think it is, contestants?

Let's see what you've come up with.

Unanimous verdict again for Matt Smith. Let's see if you're right.

And Matt Smith is correct - well done.

Just 26 years old when he was announced as the new Doctor.

OK. ?200 to all of you,

and that brings us to the final question in this round.

Jackie and Diane going on this one. Jackie?

Famagusta is actually on Cyprus, and it's in northern Cyprus.

It's definitely Cyprus.

Diane? My daughter worked on a cruise ship for three years

and she put little stars on all of the ports she'd actually been to.

And Famagusta is a town on Corfu.

OK. Jackie says Cyprus. Diane's gone for Corfu.

Where do you think it is, contestants?

Lock in your answers, please.

All three of you, again, have gone with Cyprus. Are you right?

Yes, you are. Cyprus it is.

So ?200 to each of you again,

and that brings us to the end of the round and, indeed, the end

of the main game. So let's take a look at how you're getting on.

In the lead are Scott and Emma with ?2,000.

Trailing behind with ?1,600 is Gary.

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

But ?1,600 is often a winning score.

In fact, better than some other winning scores we've had,

so you've done brilliantly, Gary. Thanks very much for being with us.

Hope you've enjoyed being here. Yes, I have. Thanks very much indeed.

Well done, Scott and Emma. You two will now compete to take home the money you've earned in our final.

Well, congratulations. You two are on fire.

We've never had a situation where two contestants have had

a perfect score going into the final. Absolutely fantastic.

So, well done. If you win, Scott, how would you spend your prize money?

Since I moved home from Europe,

I've been living in my parents' spare room,

so I would like to reward them for putting up with me -

I mean, putting me up! -

and send them on a nice holiday somewhere.

On their own? Well, I don't think they'd appreciate me tagging along.

And then you'd have the run of their home. Sh!

THEY CHUCKLE

Emma, what would you do? I would like a trip on the Orient Express,

and I'd take my mum.

Oh, that's nice. That would be lovely. That's always been a dream, to do that.

All right. Well, good luck. Let's see how you get on.

Our final is a general knowledge battle.

I'm going to ask you five questions each.

Whoever gives the most correct answers takes home the money

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

the Think Tank is still here to help you out if they can.

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

Each member can only be picked once, though.

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

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

so they're just as much in the dark as you are, OK?

Let's play the final.

Scott, we're starting with you. Here's your first question.

Who would you like to choose here?

Er...

I think I'll go with Anisha for this one.

Anisha? I'm so happy you came to me!

To give you a clue, if you take the first letter

of each of their nicknames, you'll get it.

I'm so glad I asked you.

Just do it, and then you'll come up with the answer.

I would like to say TCL, but I won't. It's TLC.

It is, yeah. I'm going to go with TLC.

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

You are indeed - TLC it is.

Hits include Waterfalls,

No Scrubs and Unpretty. Mm-hm.

Many more - a catalogue of amazing hits.

Well done, Scott. You're off the mark. Emma, we come to you.

A sport question for you. Who do you want to go with?

Len. Well, I think you've chosen right.

I've got a good idea who this is.

Obviously this manager was about when the Busby Babes... Yeah.

..which was the Munich air disaster,

when the football team went over to Munich for the European Cup,

it was then. Have you any idea who it is?

I think it might be Manchester United.

Yeah, you're spot-on with Manchester United.

Manchester United. Is your answer?

OK. Manchester United - let's see if you're right.

You are indeed.

And he was the manager, of course, at the time of the Munich air crash.

You two have got 11 answers

correct each. 22 between you. Absolutely phenomenal.

Well done, indeed. Scott, here's your second question.

Who do you want to go for? Er...going by accent,

I think Jackie's from somewhere around

that part of the world, so I'd maybe ask for her help here.

I'm from Lancashire. I know, but...

Erm...have you any idea?

The only river I can think of is the Tees. But...

I honestly can't think of a river

that goes between Yorkshire and Durham. OK.

Well, I know Tyne is Newcastle. Tyne's Newcastle, isn't it?

Wear is, like, Sunderland. So I'm going to say Tees,

cos that's the other river from the north-east I've heard of.

Going for the Tees? Tees.

Let's see if you're right.

Tees it is - well done.

Another right answer for you, Scott.

2-1 to you. Emma, your second question coming up.

Who can help you here?

Max can help me here.

Well, let's see. I mean, it's slightly before my time...

And mine! ..but it is one of those great children's films.

I assume you'll have seen it as well.

Yep. Have you got a rough idea of who Bert was played by?

Yes, I think, doing the worst Cock-er-ney accent

you have ever 'eard on-screen,

I think it's Dick Van Dyke.

Apples and pears! I think that's exactly right. It is Dick Van Dyke.

So your answer is? Dick Van Dyke.

You're saying it's Dick Van Dyke? Let's see if you're right.

Cor blimey, you are!

Did he say, "Cor blimey, Mary Poppins?"

He did at some point. "Knees up, step in time," that sort of thing.

Something Australian-sounding like that. Unforgettable accent.

Two-all. You're still playing the perfect game here - it's fantastic.

Scott, you're up next.

Half of the Think Tank to choose here.

I'll go for Lucy, I think.

Lucy? I only know downwards in Greek mythology to Hades.

That's telling about your personality!

THEY CHUCKLE Yes.

Upwards... Any ideas?

The only one I can think of is Mount Olympus,

the only mountain I've heard of. Likewise. Yep.

Then it's going to have to be the only answer we've got to give.

We'll go... I will go for Mount Olympus, Bill, please.

Mount Olympus? Yes. Are you right?

Once again, you are. Mount Olympus it is. Well done!

Well done, Scott. Emma, we come to you for your third question.

Mark, Diane or Ken to help you?

I'm going to go for Mark.

Yeah. I think we can work our way back from these dates.

Bannockburn was 1314,

but that was Robert the Bruce.

Right. A little bit further back in time,

there was the Battle of Stirling,

where I think the answer to the question, this gentleman,

performed miracles with the help of a narrow bridge.

I think it's William Wallace.

Your answer is what we're looking for, Emma.

Yeah, I'm going to completely trust Mark,

because I didn't know this at all.

So I'm going to say William Wallace.

You're saying it's William Wallace? Let's see if you're right.

You are indeed. William Wallace it is.

And he was indeed the Scottish hero

who won that victory over the English at the Battle of Stirling,

and was then played by Mel Gibson in Braveheart.

Three-all - ever so tight between you. Scott, your turn.

Just Diane or Ken here. Er...

I'll go for Ken - you seem like the kind of guy

who would read these novels. Well, yes, they're romantic.

Of course, that's me all over. That's why, yeah.

Actually, I-I do know this.

Who do you think it is? I think Jilly Cooper.

Yes, I agree with you 100%, Jilly Cooper.

Perfect. OK. I'll say Jilly Cooper.

Jilly Cooper. Have you chosen correctly?

Jilly Cooper it is. Well done.

Huge bestsellers known for their racy plotlines.

Oh, I would never read anything like that!

Scott, you're still on the perfect game.

No pressure. Emma, fourth question for you.

Just Diane here to help you.

Hello. Hello, Diane.

Now, with the Four Seasons,

the only composer that comes to mind to me is Vivaldi.

Yes, I 100% agree with that.

Yeah? It's Vivaldi.

You say it's Vivaldi? Yep. Let's see if you're right.

Vivaldi it is! Well done.

The Four Seasons is a set of violin "concerti", I suppose,

and one of the bestselling classical works to date.

So, well done. Well, now the pressure's really going to tell, OK?

Because it's four-all.

Fifth question now. No Think Tankers left to help you out.

So, from here, you're on your own.

Crucial questions coming up. Scott, first for you.

HE SIGHS This is when hours wasted

on quiz websites helps.

Er, I think the answer is Somalia.

Scott, you're saying it's Somalia.

Let's see if you've chosen correctly.

Somalia it is - well done.

A major port just north of the equator, on the Indian Ocean.

Well done, Scott. Emma, you've had a flawless game so far.

14 answers on the trot correct.

But...

now, you have to get this one right,

or else Scott will be our winner today, OK?

Good luck. Here we go.

I think it's The Black Eyed Peas.

That's your answer? Yeah.

Came to it very quickly. OK.

You're saying it's The Black Eyed Peas.

This to stay in the game. Let's see if you're right.

Black Eyed Peas it is. Of course you're right.

Along with will.i.am and apl.de.ap - the other members of the group.

Gosh! You are phenomenal, you two!

You really are!

That's 15 answers each right. No mistakes.

Sooner or later, someone's going to have to slip up,

I'm afraid. After five questions each, your scores are tied.

We're going to Sudden Death. All the members of the Think Thank

have been used up, so you are on your own till we find a winner.

All right, Scott, here is your next question.

A bit before my time and, as we discussed earlier,

I don't read these racy things.

Er, if I remember correctly, Lady Chatterley's Lover

was by DH Lawrence.

Lady Chatterley's Lover and Sons And Lovers are books by which author?

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

DH Lawrence is correct. Well done.

Oh, Emma, once again, you're under pressure, I'm afraid.

To stay in the game, you've got to get this one right. OK.

Somebody springs to mind, but I'm not sure if it's correct -

if they're just in that film or they're Watson.

And the name that springs to mind is Jude Law.

Is that your answer? That's my answer - Jude Law.

You're saying it's Jude Law.

You have to have this one right in order to stay in today's game.

Jude Law is correct.

It also starred Mark Strong and Rachel McAdams.

Neck and neck! We're still tied.

I don't know how we're going to separate you two.

We're going to have to keep trying!

Scott, here we go.

I used to play a bit of cricket when I was a kid.

Um, I think the answer to this is the captain, Alastair Cook.

You're saying it's Alastair Cook?

Let's see if you're right.

Alastair Cook is correct.

The left-handed opening batsman who's played more than 120 Test matches for England.

So, Emma, pressure's back on you once again.

Doing brilliantly so far, though.

Here's your next question.

I have heard the word.

The only word that springs to mind coming after it is toad.

So that's... Cos I'm not sure,

that's what I'm going to give as my answer - toad.

Toad is your answer? Yes.

What type of animal is a muntjac?

You're saying it's a toad.

You need to be right now, Emma, to stay in the game,

otherwise Scott will be our winner today. So is toad correct?

It's a deer!

Congratulations, Scott, though. You are today's weather.

Thank you. Well done.

What an epic battle that was!

Absolutely extraordinary!

Really, really brilliantly done.

Honestly, Emma, you've been absolutely fantastic.

Really well done. Thank you. I'm afraid you're not taking

anything home, but you've certainly given us all an amazing memory of

your time on here. Yes. I hope you've enjoyed being here too?

Yeah, it was brilliant. Thanks, Bill. Really terrific, thank you.

Scott, as our winner, you're definitely taking home your prize of ?2,000.

Shortly, you'll have the chance to add an extra ?1,000 to your winnings.

First, though, let's see we can find the Think Tanker who gave the most

correct answers during the show.

Not nearly as many as you gave, by the way! Who was it?

Jackie! Well done! Oh!

Oh, good!

Good job, well done. Scott, you have one last chance now to seriously

boost your prize as you face our Question: Impossible.

Scott, were you good at exams at school?

Um... Yes.

Cos you're on 100% so far. School was a long time ago, though.

Yeah. No, but you're heading for the perfect game.

That's putting some pressure on there, thanks(!)

That's what we do. Well, here we go.

This is the toughest question of the whole show,

because no-one in the Think Thank 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, then, at your Question: Impossible.

Have a think about that.

We'll give you a bit of assistance,

because we'll take a look at the wrong answers

that the Think Thank gave us earlier, OK?

And this'll rule a few things out, we hope.

So here's what they came up with.

Sudan, South Africa, Egypt,

Ethiopia, Nigeria and Namibia.

It's none of those.

So which country is it?

It's either Algeria or the Democratic Republic of Congo.

I was really hoping that one of those two would appear there.

HE SIGHS

I'll say the DRC - the Democratic Republic of Congo.

By area, which is the largest country in Africa?

Right now, you have ?2,000.

This would be to take your prize up to ?3,000.

You've had every single question right so far.

Are you going to be right with this one?

Let's see. You're saying it's the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Is that correct?

Oh, Algeria!

Oh, dear! You just knew that was going to happen.

And you had it, you had it.

Did you flip a coin in your head?

I don't know. You just knew that was going to happen.

Well, I don't know, you were doing so very, very well.

Hard lines. The largest country used to be Sudan,

but since South Sudan achieved independence,

that title's moved on to Algeria.

Hard luck, hard luck indeed!

You didn't conquer the Question: Impossible.

Still leaving with ?2,000 - a tidy sum.

You're going to give it to your parents?

Yeah, they're going to have a great holiday now. OK. Yeah!

And, cos you're living at home, you want to pay them back a little bit.

Yeah. So when's the party?

I'll make sure your invitation's in the post, Bill.

OK. Well, well done. You played an absolutely fantastic game, Scott.

Thanks ever so much. Thank you.

Thanks for watching. Join us next time, when three more contestants

will see whether they can bank on the Think Thank.

Till then, it's goodbye from them.

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

Bye-bye.

We've a spell of sunshine heading our way.

With hot new comedies and fresh twists on cool classics.
