APPLAUSE

OK, Sue, my team is about speed,

swings, swerve, throw in a little bit of style,

Tuffers, you haven't got a chance.

Nice one! What a bit of bowling

by Jimmy Anderson. It's his hundredth test match wicket.

That's out. We don't need the umpire for that

and that's a cracker of a swing ball.

Anderson took the cricket world by storm.

So graceful on the ice, so streamlined.

-She will go into the lead, surely.

-Keep it together, Shelley.

Hold it together. The speed of your life. It's looking good! Wow!

A brilliant, brilliant silver medal.

Please give a warm to James Anderson and Shelley Rudman!

APPLAUSE

Sports Action time now, and Matt, your team are up first.

There's a selection of New Zealand stars for you. Make a note of who you see.

This is for a birdie.

Scotland a man down in defence

and through goes Carter so easily. Lovely ball, lovely drive.

And there it is, straight through.

-BELL RINGS

-On her way down the back straight,

the world title is waiting for her. Driving onto the line.

Look at that. She's increased it by a couple of hundredths

over the last part of the course and crosses the line in first place.

She came through with her fastest run of the competition.

That is there and just listen to the cheer!

What a round, what a horse, what a rider.

So, all you have to do is name as many of the stars as you can,

but be careful because if you get one wrong, your points will be frozen.

Ooh.

So you've got to go for the ones you are sure about first.

-Erm...

-One point each.

-And you're 100 percent sure of that, weren't you?

-Yeah.

-So we're going to start with that, Shelley.

-Tionette Stoddard.

Yes, in action in Vancouver! Well done!

APPLAUSE

-Did you get any?

-One.

-LAUGHTER Oh, that's the cricketer.

-Yeah.

You were absolutely 100 percent sure of that, weren't you?

-Yep.

-LAUGHTER

-Yeah.

-Go for it.

-Dion Nash.

Yes, it was, taking a wicket at Lords.

APPLAUSE

-Yes, he was.

-APPLAUSE

-I think it was him.

-I know the rugby player.

-So, have you got the cyclist?

-We'll go with...

-Are you making up a name?

-Yeah.

-No.

-That could be a first or second name, so...

LAUGHTER

Winning cycling world championship gold, it was Alison Shanks you were looking for.

-Right!

-OK?

-Come on, boys.

-LAUGHTER

-Oh, yeah, yeah.

-But well done, you scored five. Very good.

APPLAUSE

OK, Phil, your team. All your sports stars come from Australia.

A good move. Here's a chance out wide!

Ohh, brilliant!

It's a winner. Oh, what a sight!

Blackburn Rovers are 3-1 up!

He has! What a putt.

Oh, wow. What do you think of that?

That is the mark of a very good young player.

Just keep this properly, don't follow through.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-You all right there, Tuffers?

-Is it...

-LAUGHTER

-Calm down. Take a deep breath.

-All right.

-Go for the obvious ones first.

-Yes.

-Or are you sure about all of them?

Right, 100 percent? More than that, yeah?

End of the round, Phil's on seven, Matt's in front on 13.

APPLAUSE

Er, Jimmy, coming to you first, then.

-A home question or away?

-Home, please.

Who against India this year became the first number nine batsman

to score 50 in both innings of a test match,

top scoring for his side in both innings.

-Erm... That'd be Peter Siddle.

-For Australia, yes.

APPLAUSE

-OK, Ryan, home or away?

-Go away. Come on, we're in.

We're either going to come back or just fade.

-LAUGHTER Away, please.

-OK.

-Come on.

For a point each, name the next two numbers

in this sporting sequence.

OK? You can write them down.

Oh, is it darts?

-Yeah, it is.

-Is it?

-Yeah.

-That's brilliant.

-Hold on.

-So what is it? Yeah?

-Cos it goes...

-Take your time.

-Oh, yeah.

-No, is it... Hold on.

-LAUGHTER

-Hold on.

-On the oche.

LAUGHTER

No. Erm... Right, OK.

Right, one's white.

18 would be next, yeah, and then four.

-Yeah.

-18 and four?

-Correct!

APPLAUSE

-OK, Shelley, back to you. Home or away?

-Home.

Who came fourth in the 2002 and 2006 women's Olympic skeleton,

and in between, won her only world title in 2004?

-Fourth in 2002 and 2006.

-Oh, hang on.

She just missed out to me.

It went Maya,

then it went me, Mel,

-and it might have been Diana Sartor.

-Would she have been around in '02?

Basically, we all mixed around in 2006

and I was in fourth position

and I knocked... I'm going to go with Diana Sartor.

Yeah, she was... Diana Sartor?

-Is the right answer!

-APPLAUSE

-Well done. OK, Neil, first of all, congratulations on the title. Fantastic.

-Thank you very much.

APPLAUSE

-Good celebration and everything?

-Yes, marvellous.

-LAUGHTER

-SUE LAUGHS

-Now, are you going home or away?

-My captain's telling me to go away.

Come on! Come on!

Which of these jockeys has not won the Grand National?

-Come on, Tuffers, this is right up your street.

-One point for each.

-It's not.

-Richard Dunwoody has definitely...

-Definitely won it.

-Yeah.

I don't think Scu's won it.

Richard Johnson.

Graham Lee. Toby...

-Toby Dobbin?

-Toby Dobbin?

-There's a jockey that is riding a horse...

-Called Toby Dobbin?

Is that a trick? It must be. That is actually a man's name, isn't it?

Or a jockey's name. I wonder what he was riding.

LAUGHTER

Peter Scudamore definitely hasn't won it. And I think Richard Johnson.

I think Richard Johnson hasn't won it. Graham Lee has, I think.

Peter Scudamore and Richard Johnson, Sue.

-Ooh.

-Oh, no.

-Let's see.

Ohh!

APPLAUSE

Yeah, Graham Lee on Amberleigh House in 2004,

Richard Dunwoody on Miinnehoma in '94

and Tony Dobbin on Lord Gyllene in 1997.

Captains, you need to partner the four stars on the board

to their sporting lookalike.

As you can see, there's a clue to help you.

Phil, as you're trailing, you can go first.

-Er...

-There's a clue there to help you.

-Oh, yes, I've got it.

-OK.

-Yes. British field athlete.

-Tell us which one you're going for.

-We're going for the lookalike

-for Wojciech Szczesny...

-LAUGHTER

-Wojciech Szczesny.

-OK, yes?

And we think it is Steve Backley.

Ooh, let's see.

-Course it is!

-APPLAUSE

-Daws.

-Erm, I think we'll go with Muhammad Ali.

-Mm-hm.

-What was his name?

-Er, Tsonga.

-Tsonga. Oh, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

-Jo-Wilfried Tsonga?

-Yes!

-APPLAUSE

Nicknamed The Little Ali.

-Right.

-Right, Tuffers, going with your mate

or going with Simon Dyson?

Ian Bell, isn't it? It's got to be Ian Bell.

Got to be Ian Bell. Is it Belly?

Ian Bell.

Let's see.

-Yes!

-Beautiful, Tuffers.

-APPLAUSE

It's got to be. Just a total beauty. Did you get that?

-You got the last one?

-Yeah.

-We think it's Alistair Brownlee.

-Is it?

-Yes! Very good. Well done.

-APPLAUSE

And at the end of the round, Phil's moved on to 30,

-but Matt's in front on 17.

-APPLAUSE

This week, the captains are in racing mode

as we sent them for a quick lap around Silverstone.

We asked them to name as many NFL teams who have played in the Super Bowl as they could.

-Penguins! Penguins!

-LAUGHTER

Tigers. Jaguars.

APPLAUSE

I think you named every animal there, actually.

-HE LAUGHS

-What was it like to be shouting those out going 160 miles an hour?

Absolutely awesome. A couple of times he just got a little bit twitchy, as well,

but it was fantastic, it was brilliant.

Well, you shouted so many names out. How many do you think you scored?

-Well, 15?

-Ooh, close. You scored 14.

-14.

-Very good, very good.

-APPLAUSE

LAUGHTER

APPLAUSE

An absolute meltdown.

It's frightening to think that... How much... I think we did it

40 seconds slower than the Formula One cars do.

-Wow.

-40 seconds quicker, they do it.

-And that was... We were flying.

-Oh, my goodness me.

-So, you needed 15 to win, Matt.

-No chance.

-No chance.

-You don't think you did?

Well, you actually scored... 14, as well.

-Yep. It's a tie.

-APPLAUSE

-It's a tie. One more animal would've done it.

-LAUGHTER

Two points to both teams. Phil has moved onto 15

but Matt's still in front on 19.

APPLAUSE

OK, Matt, your team are up first. Who is this pirate heading for the high seas?

# Now, when I was a little boy

# At the age of five

# I'm a man

# I spell M

# A

# N

# Whoa, I'm a man

I don't know who that is.

-Ooh!

-LAUGHTER

-I think he's been on television.

-You all right, Tuffers?

-I might have it.

-Ohh!

-LAUGHTER

Don't quote me, cos I could be completely wrong, cos it was quite hard to see, wasn't it?

He looked like he had jowls with that... Jowly.

-I might be totally wrong here.

-LAUGHTER

-Totally wrong.

-Is it going to be a pundit? A football pundit?

I think it's a football pundit, but...

A football pundit. Let's go through the pundits.

-That's more like it, isn't it?

-Ohh! Jimmy likes it.

Initially, I didn't know who it was, but we've got a good guess.

I'm absolutely not 100 percent, but only because Shelley said about the accent

and the football punditry and all that

and you all sort of went, "Oh, yeah, they're right."

But we're going to go with...

-Go on.

-..Gary Pallister.

-No!

-LAUGHTER

-Is it?

-Let's see if you're right.

-Ohh!

Yeah, the England defender, the pundit, Gary Pallister.

APPLAUSE

OK, Tuffers' team, who is this dressing up as their pop idol?

# You're gorgeous

# I'd do anything for you

# Because you're gorgeous

# I know you'll get me through

-# All the single ladies

-# All the single ladies

-# All the single ladies

-# All the single ladies

-# All the single ladies

-# All the single ladies

# All the single ladies, now put your hands up

# Up in the club, we just broke up

# I'm doing my own little thing

# Decided to dip and now you wanna trip cos another brother noticed me

# I'm up on him, he up on me

# Don't pay him any attention

# Cos I cried my tears, gave three good years

# You can't be mad at me

# Cos if you liked it then you should've put a ring on it

-It's embarrassing for them, whoever it is.

-Any idea?

-No.

-No idea.

Erm...

-He's got a wig on again.

-A double chin.

-How old was he? How old was he?

-It could be...

-When he was walking away, he had big shoulders.

-Big shoulders.

-Yeah.

Rugby boy? Football?

-Cricket?

-It'd be an opening batsman if it was cricket.

-No, it's not cricket.

-Parry, the swimmer. Parry.

-No. Goes on offer.

Go with it. Go with it. We haven't got anything else.

-Mark Williams?

-Er, no.

-Good shout.

-Let's see. Who would dress up like that?

It's England bowler Ryan Sidebottom!

-APPLAUSE

-The hair! Every time!

Matt, you know you dressed up as a woman? Let's have a look back...

-LAUGHTER

-..at one of Matt's mystery personalities.

Oh, no! LAUGHTER

There he is. I mean, that's how tough our Mystery Guest was back then.

-But hold on, here's another.

-LAUGHTER

LAUGHTER

APPLAUSE

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

-Well, yeah. It seems to be a common theme.

-Yes!

I just do it in private now. LAUGHTER

Anyway, the round's made a difference,

because Phil was closing until then, but now he's on 15

but Matt's in front on 21.

APPLAUSE

So, just one round to go, and we close with the buzzer round.

Fingers at the ready. The first answer will have one letter,

the second will have two and so on.

That is the theme this evening, OK?

Right. And in the case of a person's name, it's the surname we're after.

OK. Here we go.

The NBA franchise from Utah starts with which letter?

-J.

-Yes.

What a comeback! So close.

But in the end tonight, it's a win for Matt's team, 24 points to 22.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

What a match. And a big thank you to our guests, to Ryan and Neil, to Shelley and Jimmy.

The three of us will be back soon. Do join us then. Bye-bye for now.
