Episode 9 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 Miriam, an English student from Wrexham,

Pam, a training manager from Swansea,

and Paul, a business development manager from Dover in Kent.

This is Think Tank.

APPLAUSE

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

They're from all walks of life.

There's Abi, our Welsh dog-loving doctor,

Cleve, our former church minister and professional musician

and Peter, our dedicated cinephile and army reservist.

What an eclectic bunch they are!

They're not professional quizzers,

but they'll be doing their very best to help our three contestants

throughout the show.

Welcome to you. Thank you. Miriam, you're a student.

Where are you studying and what are you reading?

I'm a student at Oxford University,

I go to Mansfield College and I'm reading English Literature.

Oh, right. Do you do any writing yourself?

I recently actually won a poetry competition.

Did you? The Great British Write Off.

ALL: Oh! Did you? Oh, congratulations.

Well, Miriam, I'm sorry,

you're going to have to share some of that with us now.

I don't think so!

LAUGHTER

OK, can we dock her ?200 from her prize fund?

Failure to cooperate! OK!

Lots of young people like shopping too.

Do you shop around? Oh, I do, I love a bargain.

A bargain? Yeah.

Jackie, you've come across a bargain or two in your time, haven't you?

Oh, I like a bargain.

One of my best bargains I ever got was some cruises going for ?39 each.

What?! Nice!

?39? Yeah, we were in a dinghy!

No, it weren't, it were on a proper cruise ship.

You were actually on board, not in the engine room, the boiler room?

No, no, it was, it was good. OK. Good to have you with us.

Thank you. Pam, hello.

Hello. You're retired - you were a training manager, what you do now?

I look after my grandchildren, I love it.

How many have you got, grandchildren? Four.

Now, have you ever met any famous people?

I have, actually. I have met Prince Charles.

I'd made him a flag out of an old piece of material

and he came towards me and I was holding his hand

and he said, "I love the flag," he said,

"What precious relic did you ruin to make it?"

Meaning a family heirloom, a tablecloth.

I said, "Nothing, only my knees!"

Very happy making it, and it was fabulous.

Ah, super, well done.

And what's your weakest subject going to be?

Oh, geography because sometimes I can't find my way home!

Well, geography - who's going to help on that?

Yeah, I'm not bad. I'm quite well travelled.

Quite well travelled. Yeah - all the places you've been

on your ?39 cruises, Jackie, they'll help!

All right, Pam, great to have you with us. Thank you.

Paul, you're a business development manager at work,

what about at home, what do you get up to?

I basically spend most of my time working from home,

I have an office based in the house,

which keeps me away from...

grandchildren, wives, sons, daughters.

Grandchildren? I have 11.

Wow. Which I'm very proud of, yes.

Yes, well, that's marvellous.

And your strongest subject will be what, then?

Geography and the natural world, anything to do with that.

The natural world can be a dangerous place, though, can't it?

Indeed, yes. When I was a young man

I got involved in collecting butterflies,

and during the course of one particular morning

in the jungles of Singapore,

I stumbled on a hornet's nest and the result was actually 66 stings.

I was OK, but I spent two weeks in the British military hospital.

Still, hornet stings are really bad.

66 of them, you were lucky to escape.

Yes, it was quite severe. Yeah, OK, gosh.

Thanks very much, Paul. Welcome to all three of you.

Over three rounds, then,

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

to build up as much money as possible.

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

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

The two highest scorers, then, will go through to the final.

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

So, let's play the first round, shall we?

So, in this round I'm going to ask you a question,

and then every member of the Think Tank

will reveal the answer that they gave before the show.

The right answer's always there somewhere,

but there's also any number of mistakes there too.

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

Two questions each. Miriam, we start with you.

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

Have a think about that while we see what the Think Tank thought -

starting with Anisha.

Unusually, you have eight different things to choose from.

It doesn't always happen like that.

What do you think?

I'm not too sure, because I'm not a particular fan of football,

so I wouldn't know Gary Lineker's.

I've got a lot of Beatles fans as friends

who are going to be kicking themselves at home

that I don't know John Lennon's middle name.

Um...I think because Cleve's a musician,

presumably he might know John Lennon's middle name,

so I think I'll go with Stephen.

Stephen is your answer for the middle name

shared by John Lennon and Gary Lineker.

Let's see if you're right.

It was Winston, in fact. Winston! Wow.

Jackie, you got that right. How did you know that?

He's a hero of mine, John Lennon.

Not Gary Lineker, but John Lennon was a hero of mine.

OK, well, well remembered.

Nothing for you there, Miriam.

Plenty of other chances to come.

Pam, we come to you for your first question.

Chew on that for a moment while we see what the Think Tank thought.

Rome seems to be a popular choice.

Doesn't make it right, necessarily, Pam.

I don't know this myself,

so it's which of the Think Tank I think is correct -

but I'll go for Rome.

You're going for Rome. Yes.

As the city sometimes referred to as the stomach of Italy.

Let's see if you got the right place.

It's Bologna. Yeah.

Famous for spaghetti Bolognese, of course. Mm!

Ah, yes. Arminel, you got that right.

Have you visited Bologna?

Yes, I have been to Bologna

but I also worked out about the spaghetti bolognese

and also the sausage "baloney" is from Bologna.

So I thought, well, that's two dishes that I know

that are connected with Bologna, I'll go for it.

Very good deduction, well done.

Nothing for you there, Pam.

Let's move on to Paul and your first question.

Here's what the Think Tank made of this.

Well, a couple of interesting choices -

and also George Foreman a very popular choice, too,

but what do you make of it, Paul?

Well, I don't think it was Muhammad Ali,

because that would mean that he's fighting himself. Well done.

Um... It wasn't Henry Cooper,

but I've got a feeling that Cleve has the correct answer, with others,

so I'm going to go for George Foreman.

OK, you're saying George Foreman was Muhammad Ali's opponent

in the so-called Rumble in the Jungle.

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

Yes! George Foreman it was.

APPLAUSE Well done.

Muhammad Ali won

using the famous "rope-a-dope" tactic, if you remember.

HE CHUCKLES

Cleve, you got that one right.

Have you done a bit of boxing yourself? I did.

As a young man I used to train with my brothers

and box for a while but my mother wasn't very keen on the idea,

and she managed to talk me out of it.

I bet you were a voracious opponent.

Oh, terrible, you can tell.

Oh, terrible, you can tell.

Well done, Paul, ?200 to you. Thank you.

We come back to Miriam for your second question.

We come back to Miriam for your second question.

Here's what the Think Tank had to say about this one.

Three for Grey's Anatomy, three for ER

and a couple of others in there as well, Miriam.

Right, so I watch Scrubs

and I'm pretty sure it's not that,

because I think it's called Sacred Heart Hospital or something,

so it's a toss up between ER and Grey's Anatomy.

Um...I think I'm going to go with Grey's Anatomy.

Grey's Anatomy? Yeah. You're saying the TV drama series

set in the fictional Grace Hospital in Seattle is Grey's Anatomy.

Let's see if you've made the right call.

Yes! Yes, you have, well done.

APPLAUSE

Abi, you got that one right.

Medical dramas, are they true to life?

So, in Grey's Anatomy the medicine's quite on point, actually,

but House - House is terrible.

Like, you have a junior doctor that could do any surgery possible,

any type of... You mean you can't?

Well, no!

No! All right, OK.

Well, well done Miriam, ?200 to you gets you off the mark.

Pam, here's your second question.

Let's see what the Think Tank came up with here.

Anisha.

Well, there's a word you don't hear very often on television,

and you've heard it five times!

So what do you think, Pam?

I've never watched a Bond film in my life.

Not one? But I've seen clips of it, and they look very interesting,

but I've never watched one,

and when the question came up, I thought, "Fingers,"

but when I thought about it,

I thought, "I'm sure I've heard somewhere in the back of my mind

"it's nipples,"

so my answer is nipples.

OK, you're saying that James Bond villain Scaramanga

from The Man With The Golden Gun famously had three nipples.

Let's see if you're right.

Nipples it is.

APPLAUSE

Scaramanga played by Christopher Lee in the film.

Pam, ?200 to you.

Well done, you're off the mark too,

and, Paul, here we come to you for your second question.

What sort of notes are the Think Tank hitting with this?

So, Mis-Teeq's popular choice,

but there are other strong contenders there.

Yeah, it's a concern.

This was one of the areas that I was very uncomfortable with.

I mean despite the repetitious use of Mis-Teeq,

I think I'm going to have to go with Cleve's wisdom,

and we'll go with Destiny's Child.

Cleve's wisdom and Destiny's Child is what you're going for

as the band that Alesha Dixon was a member of.

Let's see if you've made the right choice.

It was Mis-Teeq, in fact. Oh.

Should have gone with the girls, you see, like Lucy and Anisha.

Cleve, you're often called upon

because of your experience as a musician.

Does that add pressure to you?

In some senses, but not necessarily.

The knowledge is based on what is acquired over the years,

but the truth is, as the years have gone on,

I've probably become less interested in modern pop music,

and that's where the difference lies,

so I'm really sorry I couldn't help you there.

No, don't worry. That was one of those...

You have to pick the right years, I suppose, don't you? Yeah. OK.

Nothing for you there, Paul. At the end of the first round

let's take a look at how you're all getting on -

and you're all tied on ?200.

APPLAUSE

Even-stevens, but it's early days.

Now, in our next round, 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 from the Think Tank

whose knowledge you think you can match.

For every correct answer,

another ?200 will be added to your prize fund.

They're not experts, of course,

but they are interested in different subjects,

so you might want to think carefully

about who's going to be on your wavelength.

Once a Think Tanker has asked both of their questions,

they can't be picked again, OK?

Miriam, you're going first.

You've got the whole bunch to choose from.

Who would you like to go with? I think I'll go with Arminel.

Arminel. Hello.

Now, I've got four sons,

and they have all been interested in dinosaurs

but I'm also interested in the origin of words,

so this question is both about dinosaurs and what its name means.

So...

Which dinosaur takes its name from the Greek for "double" and "beam"?

I used to play a dinosaur game with my brother when I was little.

I'm not sure about the word origin of it,

but I think I'm going to go for bronchiasaurus.

Bronchiasaurus? Yeah.

Is that the right answer?

No, sadly.

OK. And the correct answer

is what I would pronounce as diplo-DOCK-us,

because that way you get

the "diplo" - "duplo", "docus" - "beam",

but unfortunately people pronounce it dip-PLOD-ocus, which I abhor.

So, diplo-DOCK-us...

is Arminel's answer, and is actually the right answer, as well,

so, sorry, Miriam, nothing for you there.

Pam, you're up next. You can choose anyone you like.

I will pick Peter, please.

OK, this one's a film question,

so I hope you get to watch some films in some of your spare time.

Days Of Future Past and First Class are films in which franchise?

Days Of Future Past and First Class are films in which franchise?

I'm trying to think which modern films they would be classed under.

I'm not quite sure.

I'll just have a stab.

I'll just say Mad Men, it's a guess, I'm sorry.

Mad Men? I'm afraid she's wrong, it's the X-Men.

Oh!

The X-Men, not Mad Men, X-Men. X-Men, sorry.

Thank you. And the X-Men franchise has made more than $4 billion.

Yeah. So it was a good choice when they started making those.

Sorry, Pam, nothing for you there.

Paul, your turn next and you can still choose anyone you like.

I would think I'm going to choose Len.

Len. Right, I think you'll guess this.

If I didn't know the answer to this

I wouldn't go back home to Wales anyway.

I am a rugby player or was in my day.

I'm obviously aware of the Red Dragon.

I'm equally aware of the leek and I'm aware also of three feathers.

For some reason I've got three feathers...

and I don't have any help available so I'm going to have to go with

three feathers. Three feathers?

Yes, the Prince of Wales feathers.

That's right, well done.

Thank you.

The three feathers are the Prince of Wales's feathers,

but you're absolutely right. ?200 your running total.

Thank you. Miriam, your turn next and you still have the entire field.

Can I have Lucy, please?

Our dance teacher, Lucy.

Hi, Miriam. As Bill said, I'm a dance teacher, I run a dance school,

I immerse myself in the world of dance,

which is how I come to know the answer to this question.

Hopefully you will too.

Ah, right.

I've never actually watched a Ginger Rogers film,

but they're always kind of on when I'm channel flicking.

I think it's Fred Astaire.

Fred Astaire? Could it be anybody else?

It's Fred Astaire, well done.

Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire starred in ten films together,

including Top Hat and Swing Time,

so a lot of dance steps to do backwards.

?200 for you, Miriam.

Pam, your turn next.

Arminel, please.

Arminel. Right,

I'm a great Radio 4 fan and I hope

that you have listened to the Archers

because this is a question about the Archers.

I think if I can remember correctly it's Jasper Carrott.

Jasper Carrott?

Absolutely right, well done.

Well done. Lucy Davis also appeared in The Office and Ugly Betty.

Very quick there, Pam. Well done, ?200.

Thank you. Paul, you can choose anybody apart from Arminel.

I will go with Peter.

Peter. It's a science question.

Ferrum would suggest ferrous, which would indicate corrosion, rust.

I'm going to make a choice here between iron and steel.

And I would think ferrous, I'll go with steel.

Steel, Peter?

The answer I've got here is iron.

Iron it was, I'm afraid.

OK, fair enough. So, you chose the wrong one of the two.

So it would seem. OK, nothing for you there, Paul.

Miriam, we come back to you.

Peter and Arminel are off the list.

Can I go for Abi, please?

Abi. Right, so, the reason I know this is because

every now and again I go on a bit of a splurge and just get some nice

things, it's about once a year.

So, I found this on one of the shelves, I was surprised.

OK, it's a long time since my chemistry GCSE.

I think I've heard of the phrase Epsom salts before.

Not quite sure what they are but I'm going to go for Epsom salts.

Epsom salts.

Indeed, correct. Salts.

Well done.

Epsom salts, many uses for Epsom salts.

They can be used as a drying agent or a beauty product.

?200 for you, Miriam.

Pam, here's your next question.

Again, anybody apart from Arminel or Peter.

Jackie, please.

Jackie. Right, Pam.

Two of my very favourite comedians are the Two Ronnies.

They did loads of sketches a lot of people remember.

HE REPEATS QUESTION

Four candles. Four candles?

Four candles!

Yes. Is the right answer. Well done.

He also asked for plugs, electric not bathroom, pumps, shoes,

not pneumatic pumps. "An 'ose".

Hose? Hose or Os?

Whose?

All right, Pam, ?200 for you. Thank you.

And, Paul, your turn again.

Anyone but Arminel or Peter again.

Let's try Anisha.

Anisha. Hi, Paul.

Hi. So, the reason why I know this was because Roald Dahl was one of my

favourite authors as a child, so it's a Roald Dahl question.

I'm at a total loss.

I wouldn't even begin to have a title for you, I'm sorry.

Nothing? Want to take a guess?

Stab at something? Roald Dahl...

I just don't know, sorry.

OK. Are you going to pass? Yeah.

The answer was Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.

Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.

OK. And Augustus Gloop falls into the chocolate river in it and is

then drawn through a pipe to the fudge room.

I have seen the film, but just didn't recognise the character.

Oh, there you go. Well, that's the end of the round, then.

Nothing for you, Paul. Let's see how you're getting on, then,

with your prize funds. Paul is on ?400.

Miriam and Pam are tied on ?600.

Now you each selected three questions,

but Cleve didn't get a go, and we don't want him left out, do we?

So we're going to ask Cleve to demonstrate his knowledge from earlier.

Just for fun. What's your question, Cleve?

Ah, well, this question covers a lot of areas about singing,

about gospel music,

about choirs and soul music and things I'm interested in.

You might know this one at home.

Do we know this one in the studio?

Aretha Franklin? Aretha Franklin? Is that the right answer, Cleve?

Spot-on, it's Aretha Franklin. Well done.

And her hits include Think, Respect, R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

Yeah. And I Knew You Were Waiting, a duet with George Michael.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T to you, Pam!

Let's get back to business, shall we?

So, Miriam, Pam and Paul, one of you will shortly have to leave the game,

but still one last chance for any of you to take the lead and, Paul,

you can easily catch up.

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

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

before the show and their reasons for doing so.

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

If you side with the right person,

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

Five questions only remain, though,

before we do have to say goodbye to one of you, so choose your answers carefully, OK?

Here's the first question.

Arminel and Jackie are taking this one on. Arminel.

I said it was The Tiger Who Came To Tea.

I can completely picture this book at home,

I can completely picture reading it to my four sons,

the tiger sitting at the tea table, coming to tea,

so I believe that the tiger came to Tea.

Jackie. Well, I had a more sophisticated tiger.

It didn't come for tea, it came for dinner and if you met a tiger

walking along the road, you would invite him for dinner rather than

it eat you, wouldn't you? So, yes, he came to dinner.

Arminel says Tea, Jackie says the Tiger came to Dinner.

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

And which meal was it, as far as you're concerned?

Miriam and Paul say he came to tea, Pam says the tiger came to dinner.

Which meal was it?

It was to tea.

Well done, Arminel. It's about Sophie, a little girl,

and her mother and the tiger who interrupts them by coming to tea.

A very well-behaved tiger, as I remember.

Yeah, he absolutely sat at the table!

He was very well-behaved.

Don't try this at home.

OK. ?200, then, for Miriam and Paul.

Here's the next question.

Anisha and Len having a go at this.

Anisha. So, I said Richard Branson, reason being is because, you know,

he left school, he didn't have a degree, but you know,

he opened up Virgin Records and from there over the years he's done

music and he's gone into broadband and he's gone into one of the most,

you know, successful airlines in the world.

I think he's going to space next.

He just seems like a really nice guy as well,

so I said Richard Branson.

Len? Well, I've gone for Bill Gates, because this guy, Microsoft,

what is he, the head of it? And he's now donated all his profits or

whatever, his monies to charities, so I think Bill Gates is my answer.

Anisha says it's Richard Branson.

Len says it's Bill Gates.

What do you think, contestants?

Lock in your answers, please.

Let's see who you've chosen.

All three of you have gone with Bill Gates.

Is that the right person?

It is, Bill Gates.

Barack Obama came second, Stephen Hawking came fifth.

Do you know who was 11th?

David Beckham. Oh. Wow.

There you go. OK, ?200 each and we move onto question number three.

Arminel and Cleve having a go.

Arminel? I said Peru.

I went through the alphabet

trying to remember as many of them as I could and when I came to P,

I thought of Peru

and I also know that it's got to be a word that doesn't sound

like any other so that it doesn't sound confusing.

I could think of kangaroo, which might be like Peru,

but it's got more syllables, so anyway,

I decided that Peru was distinctive enough - and a country -

to be the answer. Cleve?

Well, I used to watch a lot of police dramas.

Showing my age here,

but things like Z Cars back in the day

and I remember watching more modern ones, things like The Bill,

and I seem to remember quite often,

while they were making calls over the air, that, erm...

it was India. It was an I, so I actually think it's India.

OK. Arminel says Peru,

Cleve says it's India.

Which country do you think it is, contestants?

Where have you gone with this one?

Miriam and Paul have gone for India.

Pam's on her own in the middle with Peru.

Who's right?

India is the answer.

Sorry. PAM: You convinced me!

The Nato phonetic alphabet is foxtrot, Charlie,

that sort of thing. P is, in fact, Papa.

Oh, really? Well, that's pretty distinctive as well. OK.

?200 for Miriam and Paul and we move onto question number four.

Peter and Abi taking a close look at this one.

Peter. I went for Charlotte Church,

because I remember she sang lots of classical music

and then she took her hand to acting,

and I think she does have quite a nice figure as well.

All right. Abi? Er,

so I like a bit of my popular culture

and so I went back and, again,

looked at pop stars turned actress

and remembered that Kim Marsh has gone into acting

and she's currently in Corrie,

and I think she's quite a fine mama, so I went with Kim Marsh.

OK. Peter's gone with Charlotte Church,

Abi says it's Kim Marsh.

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

Let's see who you've chosen.

It's a unanimous verdict for Kim Marsh.

Are you right?

Kim Marsh it is. Well done.

Previous winners include Carol Vorderman,

Barbara Windsor and Fiona Bruce. There you go. All right,

?200 to all of you and here we come

with the final question of this round.

Lucy and Abi having a go. Lucy?

OK, well, referendum, there's a topic.

Obviously we've had a European referendum and,

in the research that I was doing as to which way I would cast my vote,

I recall looking at nations who had...

Either were in or were out and I'm pretty sure that,

somewhere along my reading,

I came across Norway, so my answer is Norway.

OK, Abi?

I went for Sweden, because Sweden seemed to...

I recall that they're very good in terms of their health care

and their education, a country of power,

and I think that they probably would have rejected the euro,

so my answer was Sweden.

Lucy's gone for Norway, Abi's gone for Sweden.

Which country do you think it is, contestants?

Let's see where you've gone with this one.

Miriam and Pam have gone to Sweden, Paul's gone to Norway.

Who's in the right place?

Sweden is the right answer.

The currency in Sweden is still the krona, so there you are.

OK, ?200 to Miriam and Pam, then.

Well, that's the end of the main game,

so shall we take a look at your totals?

In the lead, Miriam with ?1,600.

Tied in second place, Pam and Paul on ?1,200.

Only two contestants can go through to the final,

so we have to go to a tie break to determine who's going to make it

through to join Miriam.

So this deciding question has a numerical answer.

Whoever's closest to the right answer will be in the final, OK?

Here is the question.

Please lock in your answer on that.

Pam says five, Paul says three.

The correct answer is 12.

Pam was closest to that and going through to the final.

Unfortunately, then, Paul,

we have to say goodbye to you. Thanks very much for joining us.

We don't often have a tie break at this stage,

so you've done very well. Hope you've enjoyed it. Very much indeed.

Thank you. Good stuff. Thanks very much. Well done, Miriam and Pam.

You two will now compete

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

Miriam, if you win,

have you given any thought to what you might do with your prize?

I'd really like to go travelling.

I really want to go to South America.

It's one of the places I've always wanted to go

and never had the chance to, so I'd like to go there.

And then I'd also like to buy a camera so I can take pictures

of my travels, save the memories.

Where would be top of the list in South America?

Probably Brazil.

It looks really nice there and lots to do and the culture looks amazing.

Big country. Yeah. Good. OK.

Pam, what would you do?

I'd really like to watch the turtles come out of the sea

to lay their eggs

and I'd also like to come back when the eggs are hatched

and to see the little ones making their way to the sea.

And where would you do that? Erm, in Greece, I think.

They've got one that's special.

So you'd go on a holiday. Would you take anybody with you?

Yes, my grandchildren, the family. You know, whatever.

It'd be quite a big party, then? Yeah, yes, lovely.

OK. You'll have to go on one of Jackie's ?39 cruises

to be able to... LAUGHTER

Yes, I would. Yes. She's going to be a travel agent after this.

Well, look, good luck to you both.

Thank you. 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 are still here to help you out if they can.

You can pick 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 these questions at all either,

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

Let's play the final, shall we?

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

so the final starts with you.

Here's your first question.

Who would you like to help you with that?

Well, Bill, I think I'll go for Lucy.

You're a literature student so I'm hoping that you can bridge the gap

in my knowledge with a nugget of your own.

I really should know this. That's so embarrassing.

Erm... Am I going off in a completely random direction

to think of somebody like Oscar Wilde?

Yeah, I was thinking Jane Austen, just because,

like, Pride And Prejudice,

Sense And Sensibility.

So, Jane Austen?

I'm not too sure, so I think I'm going to have to go...

Can't think of anything more likely, so let's just hope for the best.

Yeah, I'm going to have to go with Jane Austen.

Jane Austen's your answer? OK.

You're saying the 2016 costume drama Love And Friendship

is based on a work by Jane Austen.

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

Jane Austen it is! Well done. Well done!

Based on a short novel named Lady Susan.

Have you read that at all? No, I haven't.

Oh, well, it's good instinct you had, there. Lucky.

You're off the mark, Miriam.

Pam, here's your first question.

Who do you want to go with for that one?

Jackie. Jackie.

I think I know this one.

Do you know it? I think in the back of my mind...

Yeah. I think it's Monica Lewinsky.

Yes, I couldn't quite bring her name to mind, but now you said it, yes,

I think we're right.

Monica Lewinsky, please.

Monica Lewinsky, you say, is the White House intern born in 1973.

Let's see if you're right.

It is indeed Monica Lewinsky. Well done.

And that all led to the impeachment of Bill Clinton as well, later.

OK. One-all.

Miriam, here's your second question.

You can choose anyone but Lucy or Jackie.

Sport is not my best subject, Bill.

So, I think I'm going to have to call on Cleve for help, please.

I can remember the scene.

It's quite an emotional thing and there are

a couple of people who spring to mind.

One of whom was

the American, Andre Agassi, and the other one was Pat Cash.

My greater instinct would be to say Pat Cash.

When I first saw it, that was my instinct, to say...

Have you any idea? Do you watch tennis at all?

1987 is quite a long time before I was born!

What are you trying to say, that I'm an old man?

I don't believe that!

Yeah, I think I'm going to go with Cleve and say Pat Cash, please.

Pat Cash, you say, is the tennis player

who climbed into the crowd after winning Wimbledon in 1987.

Let's see if you're right.

Pat Cash is correct! Well done.

Pat Cash. Set a bit of a trend, actually.

Everybody else has followed him.

Andy Murray did it after he won Wimbledon as well.

OK, 2-1 to you, Miriam. Pam, here's your second question.

Who do you want to choose for this one?

Abi, please.

So, the only bit... I... Who were you thinking of first?

Or did you have a name? I haven't got a name but I can see her face.

OK. Describe her to me because I'm good with...

In Downton Abbey, she's very pretty, with wavy blond hair.

She was, erm...

So, she's likely be British.

Yes. She's about 25, something like that.

Very pretty. And I can't think, I can't remember her name.

When I see the answer now, I'll know it straightaway.

Erm, something like...

..Lucy... Smith? Or something like that? I don't know.

I can't think of the name.

But I can see her. Do you want to go with Lucy?

Lucy Davies? Lucy Davies, there we are.

Yeah. Lucy Davies.

I'm sorry I can't help.

So, your answer is? Lucy Davies.

Lucy Davies, you say, is the actress who played Lady Rose MacClare

in Downton Abbey and Cinderella in the 2015 film.

Let's see if you're right.

Lily James. Lily James!

It was. She was also in the TV adaptation of War And Peace.

If we'd told you that, maybe that would have helped you.

That's right, yeah! Sorry.

Yeah, thanks. 2-1 to Miriam.

Here's your third question, Miriam.

Animal question, who can help you?

Half the Think Tank left to choose from.

Erm, since she asked me the dinosaur question earlier,

I'm going to go with Arminel.

Arminel. Good.

LAUGHTER

Do you know? I have no idea.

I can help. Because I know what the lipizzaner is.

I've no idea what the falabella is. But I'm half Austrian.

The lipizzaners are the horses that perform in the arena -

those are lipizzaners.

So, I'm assuming that a falabella would also be a horse.

I think are going with Arminel's answer of horse.

You're going to say horse,

as the type of animal that are the falabella and the lipizzaner.

Let's see if you are right there.

Horses - they are indeed.

The falabella is in fact a miniature horse.

Oh! Usually about 75 centimetres in height.

Hm! Everybody knows that, Arminel...

I didn't know that either. Well, we all know it now,

which is the important thing.

OK, 3-1 to you, Miriam. Pam, you can still catch up.

Here's your third question.

A literary question.

Anisha, Peter or Len to help you.

I'll try Anisha, please.

Anisha. I have no idea, honestly, I don't read...

I watch The Kardashians.

All I can do is just throw them out to you.

So...

Roald Dahl. No.

JK Rowling. No.

I don't know. Honestly, I've no idea.

I'll try to have a guess.

Stephen King. It's just a guess, I don't know it.

That's your answer? Stephen King? Yeah.

OK, Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas,

you say it's written by Stephen King.

Let's see if you've got the correct writer.

It's Hunter S Thompson.

Made into a film in 1998, directed by Terry Gilliam,

with Johnny Depp in it. So, OK.

So, it is still 3-1 to Miriam and here is your fourth question.

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

So, you have Peter and Len to choose from on this.

Now, I think I know this one

because I am quite a fan of Helena Bonham Carter.

But I think I'll go with Peter, since he's a film buff.

Peter? I think it's Tim Burton.

Do you think so too? Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Yeah.

Yeah, well, since we agree!

I think I'll go with Tim Burton, please.

So, that's your answer? Tim Burton. OK. In 2014,

Helena Bonham Carter announced her separation from which film director?

If you write on this one, you will be today's winner.

Your answer is Tim Burton.

Let's see if you're right.

Tim Burton it is! Congratulations.

Well done, Miriam. You are today's winner.

Well done. Well done.

They met in fact on the set

of Tim Burton's film, Planet Of The Apes,

and collaborated many times until their separation.

So, well done, Miriam. Thank you.

Pam, good effort. Sorry you're not taking anything home.

That's OK. Thanks very much for playing, though,

and being with us. I enjoyed it. Thank you. Thank you, team!

Think Tank, thank you.

Miriam, as our winner,

you're definitely taking home your prize of ?1,600.

You will shortly have the chance

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

First, though, let's take a moment to find out which Think Tanker

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

..Abi! Well done! SHE GASPS AND LAUGHS

Go on, Abi!

It doesn't mean much to you, does it? Yeah! Of course it does!

I know! You're so excited about it.

You're beside yourself.

Oh! Yes! You did very well.

I hope she never wins an Oscar!

All right. Miriam, you have one last chance then to boost your prize,

as you face our Question: Impossible.

Well, Miriam, you cruised through that, didn't you?

The honour of Mansfield College, Oxford, has been upheld.

Oh, my gosh! Well, they helped me quite a lot.

No, you were very good.

This is the toughest question of the whole show now

because no-one in our Think Tank answered it correctly.

If you can achieve what none of them could

and give us the correct answer, an extra ?1,000 will be yours, OK?

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

Before you answer,

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

and take a look at the wrong answers the Think Tank gave.

This will rule some things out.

So, here's what they came up with.

Pennsylvania, Tennessee,

Blue Suede Shoe, which is a state I haven't heard of before,

Minnesota, Virginia and Nevada.

So, you still got about 45 states to choose from.

Got any ideas?

My grandmother's an Elvis Presley fan but I can't say I am.

And I probably would have said Tennessee

if that wasn't up as a wrong answer.

Erm, for some reason Ohio popped into my head.

So, yeah, I think I'm going to have to go with Ohio, please.

Ohio. Yes, please. OK.

So, you're saying Ohio was the state in which Elvis Presley was born.

This, for an extra ?1,000,

which would take your prize money to ?2,600.

Let's see if you're right.

It's Mississippi! Oh!

He was born in a little shotgun shack in Tupelo, Mississippi.

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

but you're still leaving with ?1,600.

And that will get you a long way to South America.

And probably back again as well with a bit of luck. Thank you so much.

OK, you've been a great competitor.

Thank you. Thank you. Thanks for watching.

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

whether they can bank on the Think Tank.

Until then, it's goodbye from them.

ALL: Bye!

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

Good morning, this is BBC Breakfast. Morning, Dan.

Morning, Jenny!
