Episode 2 Two Tribes

On Two Tribes, our seven contestants have already answered yes or no

to hundreds of questions, revealing everything about themselves.

Of today's players, we know that one of them would like to live for ever,

two like to go to car-boot sales, but all of them are about to play

the quiz that puts their knowledge and their personalities to the test.

CHEERING

Good evening everybody, welcome to Two Tribes,

a quiz where you never know whose side you'll be on.

We've got seven new contestants ready to play, let's meet them.

Hi, I'm Murdo, I'm an advertising sales executive,

and I'm from Stamford in Lincolnshire.

I'm Tex, I'm a retired projectionist from Great Sankey in Cheshire.

I'm Shelagh, I'm a university administrator

from Maidstone in Kent.

I'm Lisa, I'm a teacher and I'm from Swansea.

Hi, I'm Adrian, I'm an art dealer from Morden in Surrey.

Hi, I'm Alan, and I run a small book shop in Weston-super-Mare.

Hi, I'm Michelle, I'm a company director

from Ellesmere Port in Cheshire.

Welcome along, all seven of you, lovely to have you here.

Now, before the show, you all completed our in-depth survey

answering questions all about yourselves.

There are some of them up there.

In every round, we're going to split you into two tribes

based on who said yes and who said no to some of those.

Then both tribes will face a series of general knowledge

questions against each other.

To stay safe, you need to make sure your tribe is the winning tribe.

At the end of the show, one of you will be walking away with

a rather lovely prize, so best of luck to you all.

Let's take a look at our first two tribes.

Before the show, we asked you the following:

I would make a good Prime Minister.

This will tell us a few things about all of you right from the start.

Our yes tribe, people who said yes to that are Murdo,

Lisa,

and Adrian.

So our no tribe are Tex,

Shelagh,

Alan,

and Michelle.

Everyone, join your tribes.

So, before we go to our questions, I think

we have to talk to our yes tribe first.

-Murdo, you'd make a good Prime Minister?

-Yes, I believe so.

What's the first thing you'd do as Prime Minister?

-Stop giving the NHS out for free to people who don't pay into it.

-OK.

Keeping it light for tea-time, Murdo, thank you! Lisa, you're a teacher.

Teachers make perfect Prime Ministers.

Well, I think I'm a very fair, honest person, which I think

should be the qualities a Prime Minister ought to have.

You're also used to dealing with children, so you'd be good in the House of Commons.

And Adrian, you think it's time Britain had a Prime Minister

-wearing that shirt?

-Absolutely.

-If nothing else, you'd get a good laugh out of it.

-Excellent.

Excellent, Adrian. And now, our four nos. Our four nos.

I think people at home might be more sympathetic to our no tribe here.

-Tex.

-Yes.

-Don't fancy the job?

-Not at all, not the faintest interest at all in politics.

-Alan?

It's not really for me. I don't need a moat.

LAUGHTER

Now, I think we'll start with our no tribe.

I'm going to give you 60 seconds' worth of questions.

Get a question wrong, I'll pass it down the line.

If all four of you get the same question wrong, the 60 seconds stop immediately.

The tribe with the fewest points at the end of this round,

one of you will be going home.

If you're on the winning tribe, you are safe.

Tex, we will be starting with you. Start the clock.

How many times does the letter S appear in the word Mississippi?

Four.

In January 2014, who had a UK number one single with Happy?

Tom Hanks.

Which flightless bird lays the largest eggs of any bird?

-Ostrich.

-Pass.

-Michelle.

-Pass.

Tex?

-Pass.

-Shelagh, to save your team?

-Pass!

-It is a novel by Lionel Shriver.

You scored five points, no team.

That's what can happen.

They were going great guns then all of them got the same question wrong.

Those 60 seconds up immediately,

and now it's looking much rosier for our yes tribe.

Six points will see all three of you straight through to the next round.

-Doable, do you think, Murdo?

-Definitely.

-Are you the sort of Prime Minister who keeps his promises?

-Yes!

-OK, we shall see. We will start with you.

-OK.

Six points will see you through, best of luck to all three of you.

Start the clock.

Which is the only country to represent a letter

in the NATO phonetic alphabet?

-Pass.

-Lisa.

-Pass.

-Adrian, to save your team.

The only country to represent a letter

in the NATO phonetic alphabet.

Oh, um...

You've got plenty of time, I'll give you that!

No, pass.

-It was, anyone on the no team know?

-India.

-India, exactly right.

The non-Prime Ministers knew it, the Prime Ministers, less so.

Let's take a look at your score, Murdo, Lisa and Adrian,

-you got no votes at all!

-LAUGHTER

Zero points. That's quite bad.

Five points is beginning to look like the greatest score we've ever seen.

Congratulations to our no tribe,

you were on the right tribe at the right time, you are all safe,

please take your place in the centre.

APPLAUSE

Murdo, Lisa, Adrian.

You were on the wrong tribe at the wrong time,

one of you is going home.

I'm going to ask you a series of questions.

Give me a correct answer, you go through,

joining the others in the centre.

Give me an incorrect answer, you're going home.

Here is your first question, fingers on buzzers.

In the Tour de France, what colour jersey is worn by the... Murdo.

-Yellow.

-In the Tour de France,

what colour jersey is worn by the leader of the points classification?

Murdo, it's green, I'm afraid. Yellow is the overall leader.

Murdo, you came, you saw, you wanted to be Prime Minister,

you didn't get anything right, we have to lose you immediately.

Lisa and Adrian, you've been given a second chance,

please take your place in the centre.

APPLAUSE

Murdo, very sorry, very brave to buzz in there

-but you didn't hear the whole question.

-I know.

I'm afraid we say goodbye to you.

For the other six, let's find our next two tribes.

Congratulations to the six of you.

Congratulations to our no tribe in that round.

And also Lisa and Adrian.

Not only did you not get any questions right in 60 seconds,

you also didn't get an elimination question!

You're both in this round and haven't had to answer anything yet.

That'll change in this round, I'm certain.

We're going to change tribes now.

Before the show, we asked you the following...

I think I'm a good dancer. Now, Adrian.

-A tough first round for you there.

-Very much so.

Where are you going to be on this one, what tribe are you in?

-I'm in the no tribe.

-With a shirt like that?

I knew you were going to mention the shirt! Absolutely.

-It's a disco shirt.

-It's in the wardrobe.

It's a powerful statement, Adrian.

You are on the no tribe and you are joined by...

Shelagh,

and Alan.

That means our yes tribe, our good dancers are Tex,

Lisa,

and Michelle.

Everybody join your tribes.

So, our yes tribe, you think you're good dancers.

Lisa, you'd think you'd make a good Prime Minister,

think you're a good dancer. Is there anything you can't do?

I've just got it all, I have.

-Hey, you might even answer a question in a minute.

-Hopefully!

That would be something. Tex, you think you're a good dancer?

I used to be into the Northern Soul scene when I was a youngster.

And I reckon I can still get down with the kids.

Excellent, quite right.

The no tribe. Shelagh, not a good dancer?

I wouldn't say I'm a good dancer.

I tend to go the wrong way to everybody else.

I do as well, I think I would be on the no tribe on this one.

Adrian, not one of life's movers?

No, but both my daughters, when eventually they get married,

-they want to do the dad dance with me.

-Ooof!

Goodness, let's hope they never get married!

Excellent. Let's start with our yes tribe.

60 seconds' worth of general knowledge questions.

Get one wrong, I'll pass it down the line.

If you all get the same question wrong,

the 60 seconds will end immediately.

At the end of the round, someone on the losing tribe is going home

so make sure you're on the winning tribe.

Yes tribe, that was a close run thing. Seven points was not enough.

One of you is going to leave us now. I'll ask you a series of questions.

You're guessing right, Tex, it's The Rolling Stones,

you're safe and through to the next round.

Please take your place in the centre.

Lisa, so sorry we have to lose you in round two.

Will your kids at school be watching?

I think they'd be very disappointed.

I'm sure they won't, because you won't have told them

you're on, because you got knocked out in the second round!

Thank you so much for playing, it's been lovely having you here.

But for our other five, let's find our next two tribes.

Five of you left. Once again,

I'm going to have a very quick word with Adrian.

Off the top of your head,

-how many questions have you answered correctly in the show so far?

-None.

We're going to make that change in this round,

with our new two tribes.

-I hope so!

-OK. Before the show, we asked you the following...

I've sunbathed nude. Goodness me! Tex.

-Have you sunbathed nude, what tribe are you on?

-Most definitely no!

Most definitely no, Tex. Let me tell you who's in your team.

The no tribe, people who have not sunbathed nude, are Tex,

Alan, and Michelle.

So our yes tribe, our nude sunbathers,

Shelagh, who can't get a question wrong,

and Adrian, who can't get a question right.

Please join your tribes.

Yes tribe, nude sunbathers. Shelagh, is this a regular occurrence?

-I was much younger.

-Hey, we've all got a past, right?

-Adrian, were you much younger?

-Very much so, yes.

But you've both sunbathed nude.

They say 8% of Britons say they've sunbathed nude at one point

or another, which is more than the French. Can you believe that?

And France is hotter.

The no sunbathers, Tex, Alan and Michelle, a pretty strong team.

Alan, never tempted?

No, there's always the fear someone might try and roll me back into the sea.

LAUGHTER

And Michelle, not for you?

No, I have to say no, because my children will be watching.

And if your children weren't watching?

-We'll leave it there!

-Goodness me, how about that?

I imagine most people at home would be on the no tribe

but there'd be a few on the yes tribe.

And even the no tribe, I think,

would wish you both well, that's my prediction.

We will start with our no tribe, our bigger tribe, three of you.

60 seconds' worth of questions now.

Give me an incorrect answer, I'll ask the next player in line.

If all of you get the question wrong,

the round will end immediately.

-You all ready?

-Yes.

-Start the clock.

28 Months Later?

Oh, you're so close, Alan! I'm afraid it was 28 Weeks Later.

You were thinking the right way though.

Just the four points for our no tribe.

So, yes tribe. Just the two of you, but only five points to get.

Very best of luck. Start the clock.

-Pass.

Oh, it's Freddie Mercury! It was Freddie Mercury.

You scored four points.

Tie-break.

We're having a tie-break now.

Who's the winning tribe,

which tribe goes through to the next round?

We need both tribes now to nominate somebody to take on one question

on the buzzer, yes tribe?

I think that's wise, Shelagh.

Although Adrian, I have to say,

some good answers there from you in that round.

And our no tribe, who's going to take on Shelagh, to save your tribe?

-You happy to do it?

-I'll do it, Richard.

We've got Alan against Shelagh.

Whoever gets this right,

your tribe is going straight through to our final four.

Good luck, Shelagh, good luck, Alan, fingers on buzzers.

John Bruton, Bertie Ahern

and Brian Cowen are all former Prime Ministers of which country?

-Alan.

-Australia.

It is not Australia. Shelagh, John Bruton, Bertie Ahern

and Brian Cowen are all former Prime Ministers of which country?

Ireland.

is the correct answer, yes tribe,

you are safely through to our final four.

Take your place in the centre.

Tex, Alan, and Michelle.

It's time for one of you to leave before we get to our final four, who's it going to be?

I'll ask you a series of questions.

If you buzz in, give me a correct answer, you're safe.

Give me an incorrect answer, you're going home immediately.

Don't want to lose any of you, but one of you is going to have to go.

Alan, you've played terrifically well throughout,

you saved Adrian quite a few times in the previous round as well.

You had the guts to take the buzzer question, didn't save your tribe

and unfortunately, didn't save yourself either.

-Have you had fun with us?

-It's been fantastic.

-Are you slightly gutted you're being knocked out?

-Yes!

-So sorry.

Alan, thank you so much, and for our final four,

let's find our next two tribes.

Our final four, congratulations on getting this far.

particular congratulations to Shelagh,

you've been on the winning tribe every single time.

You also made your tribe the winning tribe on that last one,

beating Alan in the head-to-head, very impressive.

This is where things change a little.

This round is always two v two, and at the end of the round,

two of you will go straight through to the final.

And the losing tribe, the two of you will go home with nothing.

There are no second chances.

OK, let's see how we're going to split you.

Before the show, we asked the following...

I have a tattoo.

I'm looking for clues, they're very well hidden

if you do have one! Shelagh, you've been our best player so far.

-Do you have a tattoo?

-I do.

-You do have a tattoo!

We'll discover more about that in a minute.

-If you could hand-pick a player, who would you like?

-Michelle, I think.

I'll tell you, our yes tribe are Shelagh...

..and Michelle.

Our no tribe, our non-tattooers are Tex and Adrian.

Time to join your tribes.

-So, Michelle. You've got a tattoo, might I ask where is?

-I do.

It's just there on my shoulder.

-And what is it of?

-It's a rose.

Shelagh, your tattoo, is it the sort of tattoo

-that only people who've seen you sunbathing nude will have seen?

-Definitely!

Oh, OK! And can I ask where it is?

-It's on my bottom.

-It's on your bottom.

Anybody watching at home, children, don't have a tattoo on your bottom.

Gentlemen, no tattoos? Adrian, colourful enough without a tattoo.

-Absolutely.

-You never fancied it?

-No.

Tex, with a name like Tex I would have thought you were maybe

tattooed up to the hilt. Is that your real name, Tex?

It's short for Terence.

I'm almost certain that Terry is short for Terence, rather than Tex.

-Me too, I don't know how it happened but it did.

-Did you encourage it?

-Yes.

-It's quite cool, isn't it?

-It sounds butch to me.

It sounds butch to me as well. So, yes tribe, our tattooed ladies.

No tribe, our non-tattooed men.

This round is all on the buzzer.

The first tribe to answer five questions correctly

go through to today's finals.

For the losing tribe, it is game over immediately.

I've had a great day, I've met some great people, and I've met Adrian!

LAUGHTER

And Adrian, are you regretting not having a tattoo?

-No, not in the least.

-Tex and Adrian, thank you for playing.

Shelagh and Michelle,

that means you're about to play in today's Two Tribes final.

Shelagh and Michelle, congratulations on making it through to our final.

It's no surprise that two people who told us

they didn't want to be Prime Minister turned out to be the cleverest people on the show.

Shelagh, you've been on every single winning tribe so far,

which is very impressive.

We've now split you up into your very own tribes,

Shelagh versus Michelle.

You've also got your very own 60 second clock,

and all you have to do is protect that clock at all costs.

Only our first question will be on the buzzer.

If you get it right, your opponent's clock starts ticking.

It keeps ticking down until they get a question right

and your clock starts to tick down.

Your challenge is to force your opponent's clock

all the way down to zero.

And if you do that, you will walk away with today's prize.

For the final time today, let's play Two Tribes.

Shelagh and Michelle, for this very first question only,

it's fingers on buzzers.

Very best of luck to both of you.
