The scores are...

APPLAUSE

It's Sports Action now.

Make sure you watch closely and your questions will follow.

Rebecca Adlington is bringing it home for Great Britain

in absolutely unbelievable fashion.

Great Britain's new heroine, Rebecca Adlington.

Jamie and Martina Hingis are mixed doubles champions for 2017.

Chris Froome pulled it out at the end.

You can see him here, sprinting for the line.

Nicola Adams has just made history.

Defoe tries to get there.

Jermaine Defoe scores!

Jermaine Defoe brings up his dozen England goals.

It's a smile for the whole country.

Mo's fallen.

Yeah, when I crossed the line, I just got really emotional.

You know what goes in. You can't imagine how hard you work for it.

Now, I'll ask a question

and you have to choose one of these people as your answer.

The questions are on the buzzer.

Are you all ready? Here's your first one.

Mo Farah and which other star were in action in Brazil?

-BUZZER James.

-Nicola Adams.

No, it wasn't. It was Chris Froome that we were looking for.

Which of these stars won gold at the 2014 Commonwealth Games?

-Not?

-Not in their 30s.

-Is she?

-Yeah.

-Yes.

-No way! No way!

-She's a child!

-LAUGHTER

She's 34. Becky Adlington was the answer. 28.

Nicola, you look amazing!

Who did you see competing in South Africa?

-BELL

-Jermaine Defoe.

Yes. It's correct. Well done.

APPLAUSE

APPLAUSE

Who is the tallest?

-BUZZER Phil.

It is, at six foot three, yes. Well done.

APPLAUSE

And the scores now.

APPLAUSE

It's time to see how well you can read each other's minds.

Phil I'm going to ask Matt a question.

He will then write his answer down.

Your job is to try and work out his answer. Easier said than done.

-OK, Matt, write down one of the four cities...

-Yeah.

..that have hosted the summer Olympics on more than one occasion.

OK.

There's that one.

What about that one?

-Yeah, must be, must be.

-Has to be.

-Must be!

-I mean, there's the obvious one, obviously.

-Yeah. Obviously.

-Which one?

-LAUGHTER

-There's THAT one.

-Yeah. There's the real obvious one.

-The real obvious one, yeah.

-Yeah.

Right, Matt, now you've got to decide which of your list...

I love this one, I love that one.

-That's my favourite one, but it's up to you.

-Is it?

-It's up to you.

But we've got to think about which one is Tuffers going to go for.

He usually does go for the obvious.

-Would he think that you would pick that?

-Yeah.

-Then pick that.

-Yeah.

Because he's always going to go for that.

-He's never going to say the other one.

-I've only got one.

LAUGHTER

OK, do you want to write it on your... Oh, he's writing it.

Locked in? OK, it's locked in.

-Now, how many did you really have, Tuffers?

-Two.

-Did you?

-And maybe three.

-Did you have two, did you?

-We've got London.

-Athens and Paris.

-Athens and Paris.

-Yeah, see.

MATT LAUGHS

Now, I don't think Paris is in there.

That would be obvious, wouldn't it?

I don't think he's going to go Paris.

-Any ideas? You've faced him a few times, big fellow.

-I'm not THAT old!

LAUGHTER

Well, if he's that old, it might be Athens.

LAUGHTER

-Go on, boys, what do you reckon?

-Athens?

-Athens.

-Yeah.

-Athens?

So, out of your three, you're going with...?

LAUGHTER

Or London...

London is more obvious.

You're going with?

Athens, Sue.

And Matt went with...?

Los Angeles!

LAUGHTER

-Is that right?

-It's right.

APPLAUSE

That is the best time. That's the best effort at that game,

when he hasn't actually got the answer. That is so good, that game!

-Oh, no.

-But they were the answers.

Athens, London, Los Angeles and Paris. Right, Phil.

Yeah, here we go. Don't look at him, don't look at him.

Can you deceive Matt and his team? Let's find out.

Write down one of the four major American sports teams

that are based in Detroit.

Oh, there's the baseball.

INAUDIBLE

-I think it's them. That's the other one, yes.

-Yes.

-Yes.

-That's the...

-Yeah.

-Have you got them all, do you think?

-Yeah.

-Ooh, now a choice.

-Give over! You haven't got them all.

-I have got all four.

-Have you?

-Yeah.

-You haven't got the baseball.

-I have got the baseball.

-Not a chance you've got the baseball.

-I have got the baseball.

-You should put that down.

-Ooh!

I'm telling you right now, if you've got the baseball,

write it down, just take the points.

Put the baseball down, cos we haven't got it.

-JIMMY:

-I know it though.

-LAUGHTER

Fair play to him.

If he's got the Detroit...oojamaflips

who play baseball...

-James got it.

-LAUGHTER

So, we haven't got the baseball team,

so it's either going to be the Lions...

the...

PHIL MAKES BUZZING SOUND

-And the answer is?

LAUGHTER

APPLAUSE

APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH

-This happens every time!

-Get out of there!

-And you knew the baseball, didn't you?

-Not a clue!

LAUGHTER

Who's the baseball? I wish I did, I'd have written it down.

-It's the Tigers. It was the Tigers.

-It was the Tigers!

So, well done.

Now, it is a choice of Home or Away.

And, Daryll, we are coming to you first.

It's one point for a correct home question,

-and a possible three if you go away.

Who was in the Lions with you?

-What a fantastic series that was, by the way.

-Absolutely, well done.

APPLAUSE

-Did you say he played for Wales as well?

-No.

Oh, unlucky. No.

I've been trying to do that for eight years.

-She never slips up, she never slips up.

-So, it's...

-Forwards are...

So, he doesn't play for Wales, so it could be Ireland.

-Shall we go for that?

-Do you want go for that?

-Yeah.

-Unless there was another Irish one.

-It's a tricky one.

-There probably is.

-It's a tricky one.

-Is it a tricky one?

-Yeah, it's a tall order.

-Oh, right, there you go.

-Oh!

-Oh!

-OK?

Given your answers? Let's have a look.

-5, 11...

-Yeah, those were right.

I had 12 and 5 and 9.

It was 9, 5 and 11.

-Good shout, guys, good shout.

-Yes.

Did you actually get those numbers or was that just a random...?

-No, 1, 4 and 13, we had.

-Right, OK.

And that all made up to 25. Yeah, perfect.

I wouldn't have expected you to get it any other way.

A little closer. Phil has moved on to 18, Matt's in front on 21.

APPLAUSE

Plenty of points up for grabs

You can go with People or Places.

-We probably know more people than places, don't we?

-WHISTLE

-No, A... It's a...

A pee.

AP McCoy.

AP McCoy!

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

That was tricky!

You missed the footballer. Marco van Basten.

And Jo Konta.

Johanna Konta was the British tennis player.

-I'd never have got that one.

-No, good effort, boys.

But you do get Mickelson and you have scored five. Well done.

APPLAUSE

-OK, Matt, up you come. You have got Places.

-OK, yeah.

APPLAUSE

-Places, places.

-Here we go. Here's your first one, off you go.

-Oh, I play Twickenham there.

-No!

LAUGHTER

Oh, jockey, jockey.

The Grand National is at...

-Liverpool.

-Yeah, what's the course called?

-Don't know.

-Move on.

Barcelona play there.

-DARYLL:

-Silver.

-Silver?

-Stone.

-Yes.

-Yes.

-No way!

Yes! Yes!

It's snooker.

WHISTLE

-No, he said "Silver".

-That was hard.

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

Oh, sorry. You did really well.

Did I say "Twick..."? I said "Twickenham" straightaway!

You were never going to recover from "I play Twickenham there".

LAUGHTER

Oh!

-The referees are looking back at one of your answers.

-Yes!

-Why?

Oh, there's been an appeal.

No, absolutely not. Darryl said, "Silver."

It's really important because you'd scored 2 up to this stage,

-which would bring you level.

-Yeah, we did, we did.

So, if the referees say they can hear both, then you have won.

And the answer is...

-you're correct and you get the win.

-Well done.

APPLAUSE

Teamwork, teamwork.

-JIMMY:

-There was no doubt.

-No doubt.

The referees heard it loud and clear, so well done to you.

And thank you so much to all of our guests. It's been...
