00:00MUSIC
00:11Hello and welcome to the Answer Run,
00:13the quiz where we're so generous,
00:15we give all our players a 50-50 chance on every question.
00:18It's as simple as that, and here's how it works.
00:20Every question has two possible answers.
00:23In this example, we have Jason Manford and Mylene Class.
00:26The questions will come down the Answer Run at random.
00:29If it was a member of the band Hearsay,
00:31well, it definitely wasn't me, Mylene Class,
00:33so then I win that amount of money.
00:35But if I get it wrong, appeared on Celebrity Mastermind first...
00:39Hmm, I'm going to guess that's...
00:41Was that me?
00:43Oh, it wasn't me, it was Mylene Class.
00:45So if I get it wrong, I lose that same value.
00:48And essentially, that is it.
00:50So let's meet the teams taking on the Answer Run today.
00:53I'm Imogen, this is Cassie, and we're from Huddersfield.
00:56I'm Andrew, this is Kieran, and we're from Hertfordshire.
00:59I'm Daryl, this is Josie, and we live in Suffolk.
01:03Welcome, everybody, welcome to the show.
01:05How you all feeling?
01:06Good.
01:07Yeah, good, that's what we like to hear.
01:09Nervous or just excited?
01:10Bit of both.
01:11Bit of both.
01:12Right, well, we're going to get to know you as we play the Answer Run,
01:15but we need to find out who is coming up first.
01:18So, fingers on buzzers as we go for our first qualifier question.
01:23What name is given to the oval-shaped nuts produced by oak trees?
01:29Andrew and Kieran?
01:31Acorns.
01:32Acorns, of course it is.
01:33Come on down to the Answer Run.
01:42Hello, guys. What do yous do?
01:44We work in the emergency services.
01:46Emergency services, great, giving stuff back.
01:48And any hobbies away from work?
01:50I love running, I'm big into my athletics.
01:52OK, so big on fitness.
01:54Yeah, we both love our football.
01:56We did, and then I got too old to play.
01:58I was just getting injured, so I had to give it up.
02:00Fair enough. Who do you follow? Who's your team?
02:02Well, that's a divide, so myself and my daughter, we are Liverpool.
02:06OK.
02:07And me and our son, we're Aston Villa.
02:09Oh, right, that's a random one.
02:10Is that because that's where you're from originally?
02:12No, no, no, you don't choose your team, do you?
02:14No.
02:15I was born into it.
02:16You were born into it, yeah, that's fair enough.
02:18So you and Prince William?
02:19Yes.
02:20Big Villa fans, yeah, fair enough.
02:22And how did you meet?
02:24So we met at work.
02:26I was delivering some training.
02:28OK.
02:29And it involved being hit with a baton,
02:32and Kieran hit me with that baton,
02:34and we've been together ever since.
02:36Oh, wow, how romantic.
02:38All right, well, you are up first,
02:40so you get the full choice of categories.
02:42Let's have a little look what we've got.
02:45So we've got Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo,
02:49Strictly Come Dancing, Britain's Got Talent,
02:51Old and New.
02:53Wow, OK.
02:54You said you were a football fan, Andrew?
02:56Well, yeah, so I think my natural instinct
02:59would be to go for the top one,
03:01although we do watch a lot of Strictly Come Dancing
03:03and a bit of Britain's Got Talent with the kids,
03:05but Old and New would be a little bit 50-50, I guess,
03:08so I'd be happy to go with the top one.
03:11Let's go Messi-Ronaldo, yeah.
03:12Let's go Messi-Ronaldo.
03:13You're big on your football, aren't you, as well,
03:15with your villa, of course.
03:16I mean, not that either of the players of that quality
03:18have played for a villa over the years,
03:20but no disrespect, of course.
03:22But you'll have seen some.
03:23OK, so we're going to go Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo.
03:26We've got two big football fans.
03:28Let's set up the answer run.
03:32So we're going to swipe left for Lionel Messi,
03:35right for Cristiano Ronaldo.
03:37Now, the questions come out in a random order,
03:39all with different values.
03:41The harder the question, the more it's worth, of course.
03:43If the question reaches the bottom and you don't answer it in time,
03:46that will count as a wrong answer
03:48and you'll lose that money off your total.
03:50You've got 15 questions, just 90 seconds,
03:52so you need to make sure you get as many right as you can.
03:55Let's put a clock up for the viewers at home.
03:57And your time starts now.
03:59Got married in the city of Rosario in 2017.
04:03I think it's Messi.
04:04Go on then, go for it, Messi.
04:06Correct, it's Lionel Messi.
04:09Wore the No. 7 shirt at Manchester United.
04:12Ronaldo.
04:15Born in 1985.
04:16Oh, my God, they're both... I think it's Ronaldo.
04:18Go on.
04:20It was Ronaldo, well done.
04:22Has won the Ballon d'Or more times.
04:24Messi, it's got to be.
04:26It's Messi, well done.
04:29First footballer to top Forbes' highest-paying athletes list.
04:32I would be more likely to do...
04:34I think big wages, it's got to be Messi.
04:36Go on then, go for it.
04:38Ronaldo.
04:40Has no tattoos so that he can donate blood regularly.
04:45Ronaldo.
04:47Won gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
04:49I think that's going to be Argentina Messi.
04:52It was Messi, well done.
04:54Joined Inter Miami in 2023.
04:58Messi.
05:01Famously nicknamed The Flea.
05:03I think Lionel Messi because he's small.
05:05Yeah, not that famous of a nickname.
05:07It was not that famous, was it? I know, I thought that.
05:10Received a red card within two minutes of making his senior international debut.
05:13I think that sounds like Ronaldo.
05:15It was Messi, surprisingly.
05:18Has a museum dedicated to him in Madeira.
05:21It is Ronaldo.
05:23Joined FC Barcelona at the age of 13.
05:27Messi.
05:29First person...
05:31And that last one was first person ever to pass 500 million followers on Instagram.
05:37Oh, I'd have said Ronaldo.
05:38I'd have gone for Ronaldo.
05:39Yeah, Ronaldo, well done.
05:40Hey, I tell you what, some good football knowledge from the pair of you there.
05:43You did well, you must be happy with that.
05:45Yeah, all that wasted time watching football.
05:47Never, never wasted, never wasted on this show.
05:50Ten correct, only two incorrect, so pretty good.
05:53So Ronaldo was the first one to top the Forbes highest paid athletes list.
05:58And surprisingly, I was surprised by that as well,
06:00Messi was the one who got the red card a couple of minutes into his debut.
06:03I was trying to desperately remember, but yeah, I was surprised at that.
06:06Yeah.
06:07So Ronaldo, born in 1985, when do you think Messi was born?
06:10I think Messi's older.
06:12I think he's younger.
06:14Oh.
06:15Go on then.
06:16Go on, tell me.
06:17You tell me, I know the answer.
06:19What do you think?
06:20I think he's going to be 88, 89.
06:23Oh, 87.
06:24Yeah, just two years in it, very close.
06:26He's not got Ronaldo's abs though, has he? That's the thing.
06:29No, no, Cristiano Ronaldo very much looks after that.
06:32But well, as we heard from the no tattoos so he can regularly donate blood, yeah.
06:36But is he happy?
06:38That's what I always say, when I look at that sort of body,
06:40I think, is he happy?
06:41Yeah, the beautiful wife.
06:43I know, is he happy though?
06:45He's smashed a Greg's, has he?
06:47You know what I mean?
06:49Well, look, a cracking round one, 1,150 goes into your prize pot
06:53and we'll see you in the next round, well done.
07:01Time now for another qualifier question.
07:03Fingers on buzzers, Imogen and Cassie, Daryl and Josie.
07:07Which former US First Lady wrote the 2018 book...
07:11Ooh, straight in, Imogen and Cassie.
07:13Michelle Obama.
07:15Michelle Obama straight away, fantastic.
07:17Come on down to the answer run.
07:25You didn't even need the title of the book there, did you?
07:27Do you remember what the title of the book was called?
07:29No.
07:30No, Becoming it was called.
07:32How do you two know each other?
07:33So we work together.
07:34You work together, and where do you work?
07:36So I'm an accountant in a finance department in public sector.
07:39And I work in the education department in the same...
07:42Ah, OK, so do you get to hang out a little bit at work?
07:44Do you see each other in the canteen?
07:46We don't see each other at work specifically,
07:48but we do work from home a bit, and so we'll see each other in our home.
07:51Oh, right, so you live together.
07:53Brilliant stuff. So you've been friends for a long time?
07:55A couple of years, yeah.
07:57Yeah? How did you meet?
07:58We met in a gay bar.
07:59OK, great.
08:01Where all the best stories start.
08:03Brilliant.
08:04And what was it straight away that just thought,
08:06this person's going to be my friend?
08:09I thought that Imogen was more interesting than the date that I was on.
08:13And more interesting than the friend I was with.
08:15Fair enough, fair enough.
08:17And what bonded you?
08:19Shania Twain.
08:20Oh, Shania.
08:22We're best mates, me and Shania, of course.
08:24I worked with her once, and that counts.
08:27So, you are second, which means you get this choice of categories.
08:32Strictly Come Dancing, Britain's Got Talent, Old And New.
08:36I feel like Old And New is less specific.
08:38Yeah, I don't think I know enough about Strictly Come Dancing
08:41or Britain's Got Talent.
08:42I've not watched it in years. Not for years.
08:44I think we should go Old And New. Yeah.
08:46Old And New, please.
08:47Old And New. OK, let's prep the answer room.
08:50We're going to swipe left for Old and right for New.
08:53You've got 15 questions, 90 seconds on the clock.
08:56We'll put a clock up for the viewers at home,
08:58and your time starts now.
09:01In the name of Lancashire County Cricket Club's home ground.
09:05Old? I think Old, yeah.
09:08Emirates, Old Trafford.
09:11In the name of the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police.
09:14New Scotland Yard. New Scotland Yard.
09:17New Scotland Yard.
09:20Bible Testament, that includes the Gospels.
09:22Oh, gosh. Old?
09:24I was going to say New. I think New.
09:26New? Yeah, let's go New.
09:27New Testament, you're quite right, Imogen.
09:30Higher face value of tiles in Scrabble.
09:32This is worth Ā£500, so have a think about it.
09:36Oh, is it?
09:37Go Old. OK.
09:38Go Old, yeah.
09:40Oh, New would be six with a W.
09:43Model army formed in 1645 by Oliver Cromwell.
09:46I feel like that could be New, in reference to that time.
09:49OK.
09:50New Model Army.
09:54In the title of a 2019 UK number one single by Lil Nas X.
09:57Old Town Road, a little country number there.
10:00Title of Aldous Huxley novel, Brave Blank World.
10:05New World.
10:07In the usual name of London's central criminal court.
10:11Old? I think... I don't know.
10:13The Old Bailey.
10:14The Old Bailey.
10:15Oh, gosh.
10:16In the name of the cocktail of bourbon, a sugar cube...
10:19Old-fashioned.
10:20..and Angostura bitters, an old-fashioned, my favourite, 500 quid.
10:23In the name of the US boy band who were hanging tough in the charts in 1990.
10:30I'm going to go New. I don't know.
10:32Oh, just got that in there, just before the time ran out, wow.
10:37Was it a guess?
10:38Yeah, it was a guess.
10:39Yeah, New Kids On The Block, it was there.
10:41But Ā£300, that got you, fantastic.
10:43So you're too young to have heard of New Kids On The Block?
10:45I mean, I was born in 98, so no chance.
10:48Get out.
10:4995, yeah.
10:50Breaks my heart.
10:52Keeps happening all the time.
10:53People who were born after I'd already started work.
10:56At least it's not the 2000s.
10:58No, there is that.
10:59That has happened on this show as well, though, to be fair.
11:01You've got to be happy with that, though, haven't you?
11:03Very happy, yeah.
11:04I'm really chuffed.
11:05Tell a lot about people on what answers they get really quickly.
11:09And Old Town Road, you knew that one straight away.
11:12Absolute banger.
11:13Yeah.
11:14Old Fashioned, you got that, the cocktail?
11:16Bartender In A Next Life, yeah.
11:19There you go, you see.
11:20And the one that stumped you a little bit was the Scrabble one.
11:23The word old was worth four points in Scrabble.
11:26New, of course, with the W, is worth six.
11:29Fantastic stuff and a great score, you should be very proud.
11:32Ā£1,400, we'll see you in the next round, well done.
11:34APPLAUSE
11:40So, two teams have played, which leaves one team left.
11:43Daryl and Josie, come on down to the Answer Room.
11:46APPLAUSE
11:53Hi, guys. Hello.
11:54So, how do you two know each other?
11:56So, we are married.
11:58You're married? We are.
11:59How long have you been married? Since October.
12:01Really? So new, wow.
12:03How long have you been together? So, just under four years.
12:06OK, so quite a fresh relationship then, and married as well.
12:09And quite early on in a marriage to come on a quiz show.
12:12I mean, this is the best test you're going to do, isn't it?
12:14I mean, it really is.
12:15Divorce papers might be signed by the end of the night.
12:17The house might be on the market later, so, you know.
12:20Let's see how it goes. Where are you from?
12:22So, we live in Suffolk.
12:23Suffolk, all right, whereabouts?
12:25So, just outside of Loverstaff.
12:26Oh, I know it well, Marina Theatre.
12:28I only know towns by their theatres, have you noticed this?
12:31It's a nice theatre as well.
12:32Yeah, I know it is. What town are you from?
12:34Stevenage.
12:35Stevenage, Gordon Craig. Yes.
12:37There you go, look at that.
12:38It's like, honestly, I've knocked on your bet.
12:40I just know all the theatres.
12:42And so, what do you both do?
12:43So, I am a bar and restaurant manager.
12:45OK.
12:46And I work in administration on a holiday park.
12:49Oh, brilliant stuff, great.
12:50And is it at the same place, or...?
12:52So, separate holiday parks.
12:53We used to work together, but we now work at separate places.
12:55Is that where you met?
12:56So, I left the one park I was working on,
12:59and Daryl's my replacement, and long story short,
13:02he stalked me on social media incessantly.
13:04I kept declining his friend requests
13:06till I gave in and was like, give him a go.
13:10Makes me sound really good, doesn't it?
13:12Oh, it's so romantic.
13:15Is that the same story you tell to people, Daryl?
13:18Kind of.
13:19So, yeah, I did take the job after Josie,
13:21and saw who she was and thought,
13:23well, I fancy my chances there, give it a go, and...
13:26Yeah.
13:27You're rolling your eyes, but it works.
13:29Honestly, he's the soppy one, I'm like, oh...
13:31Look who's the winner now.
13:35I love it.
13:36All right, well, look, no choice this time, unfortunately.
13:39This is your category.
13:41So, we're down to Strictly Come Dancing and Britain's Got Talent.
13:44I feel like, in a holiday park setting,
13:46these are two shows you've probably done versions of.
13:49Yeah.
13:50To be fair, we've probably compared a lot of them on stage as well.
13:53Yeah, Britain's Got Talent, probably no more of.
13:55I love Strictly, I watch one episode every time it's on.
13:58My mum's a massive fan of Strictly, so if I get any of them wrong...
14:01Why just the one episode, Josie?
14:03It's the musical one.
14:04Oh, a C, of course.
14:06Yeah.
14:07All right, let's prep the answer run.
14:09You're going to swipe left for Strictly Come Dancing
14:12and right for BGT.
14:14Once again, you've got 15 questions, 90 seconds on the clock.
14:19We'll put a clock up for the viewers at home.
14:21And your time starts now.
14:23It's had a series winner named George.
14:25Britain's Got Talent, yeah, it's George Sampson.
14:27George Sampson, that's right, the young dancer, Ā£300.
14:30Alan Dedico is the show's announcer.
14:32Strictly Come Dancing, the lottery guy as well.
14:34Strictly Come Dancing, Voice Of The Balls.
14:36The US version is called Dancing With The Stars.
14:39Yeah, Strictly Come Dancing as well.
14:41That's like a free 50 quid, that.
14:44Jayme Dowell won in 2011.
14:46That's Britain's Got Talent, he was the opera singer, yeah.
14:50Britain's Got Talent, very good.
14:53Cynthia Erivo was a guest judge twice in 2021.
14:57That would be Strictly Come Dancing, I think.
15:00It is Strictly, well done.
15:03Series 1 featured three judges.
15:05That was Britain's Got Talent, the original sort of line-up.
15:08That was the original line-up, well done.
15:10Features the golden buzzer.
15:12It's definitely Britain's Got Talent.
15:14100% that one.
15:15Very good.
15:17Bruno Taglioni is a current judge.
15:19So it's now Britain's Got Talent.
15:21That's Strictly, but yeah, he's now on Britain's Got Talent.
15:23Very good.
15:25First broadcast in 2007.
15:28This is a guess.
15:29I would go with Britain's Got Talent.
15:31Sure? Yeah.
15:32That's right.
15:33Paul Potts was the winner that year.
15:35Shares a word in its title with a 1992 Baz Luhrmann film.
15:39It is Strictly, yeah.
15:40And the musical.
15:42Ballroom, you know the musical, of course you do.
15:44Filmed at Elstree Studios since 2013.
15:46That's Strictly Come Dancing.
15:48That's definitely Strictly.
15:49That's Strictly as well.
15:51Co-created by Simon Coutt.
15:53Oh, he just missed out there.
15:55Yeah, it was close.
15:57Full house, not one wrong.
15:59Really surprised, if I'm honest.
16:01Yeah, I'm really shocked.
16:02Mum's going to be proud of the Strictly ones especially, so yeah.
16:04You can't be surprised by that.
16:06You knew them all with absolute confidence.
16:08Yeah, I was surprised that the right ones came up for us.
16:11I haven't seen either programme in years, so...
16:14What about you, Josie?
16:15Were you just sort of, you were strictly the swiper?
16:17Yeah, I knew some little bits from other sources,
16:20but I was strictly the swiper, I do what I'm told.
16:23Strictly Come Swiping.
16:24Maybe it's a new show, that's what we should call this.
16:26I like it.
16:27What a cracking round one.
16:28Well done.
16:29Ā£2,000 added to your pot.
16:30We'll see you in the next round.
16:31Thank you very much.
16:37So, at the end of round one, let's take a quick look at the totals.
16:40Andrew and Kieran on Ā£1,150,
16:43Imogen and Cassie, Ā£1,400,
16:45but in the lead so far with Ā£2,000,
16:47it's Davil and Josie!
16:51Right, let's move ahead to round two.
16:54Now, our teams have already had one go at the answer run,
16:58but this time when you step up to the run,
17:00the money goes up alongside the pressure,
17:02because at the end of this round, one of our teams will be going home.
17:05Let's see who is going to get first choice
17:08with the latest qualifier question.
17:10Fingers on buzzers.
17:17Imogen and Cassie?
17:18Gold.
17:19Come on down to the answer run.
17:28So, only one answer wrong in that last round
17:31and you added Ā£1,400 to your prize pot.
17:34That money is safe for now.
17:36If you won some money today, what would you spend it on?
17:38We really want to put it towards a trip to Nashville.
17:41Of course. The home of country music, why wouldn't you?
17:43Fantastic.
17:44Maybe a cheeky trip to Dollywood.
17:46Dollywood, maybe, yeah. Out to Gracelands, maybe.
17:49Yeah, fantastic. What a trip that would be.
17:51All right. But you need to concentrate,
17:53because in this round, each question now has two different values.
17:57A higher amount and a lower amount.
17:59If you're feeling confident, you go higher.
18:01Not so sure, go lower.
18:02It's all about risk and reward.
18:04In round two, there are three new categories, and they are...
18:12OK, so I think Greek Roman I'd be OK with,
18:14but Kim Kylie's probably stronger.
18:17There could be more in it, except for that one.
18:20I think we'd know more in that one.
18:22Shall we go Kim Kylie? Yeah. Let's do it.
18:24Let's go Kim Kylie.
18:25Kim Kylie. OK. Let's prep the answer run.
18:30You're going to swipe left for Kim and right for Kylie.
18:33You've got 15 questions, 90 seconds on the clock.
18:37We'll pop a clock up for the viewers at home,
18:39and your time starts now.
18:42Most common family name in South Korea.
18:48Member of the Kardashian-Jenner family
18:50who founded her own cosmetic brand in 2015.
18:55Kylie, quite right. Kylie Jenner.
18:57Actress who plays Samantha in Sex And The City.
19:03Kim Cattrall.
19:06Coronation Street character played by Paul Alain.
19:09Kim, I think. I don't think there is a Kylie.
19:11Shall we go 100 and go Kim? Yeah.
19:15No, it's Kylie Platt, but well done for going low.
19:181901 book by Rudyard Kipling.
19:22It's worth Ā£600.
19:27Ā£300, it is Kim, well done.
19:29Celebrity who has had a V&A exhibition
19:32dedicated to her outfits.
19:34I feel like Kylie could be, cos she's a fashion model.
19:38Kylie Minogue, well done.
19:40Celebrity who launched a signature wine brand in 2020.
19:44Go Kylie, whisk it.
19:46I think it's Kylie Minogue.
19:49It is Kylie Minogue, well done, you've got the full Ā£400 there.
19:52Singer who had a 1981 UK top ten hit with Kids In America.
19:56Kim Wilde for Ā£400.
19:58Daughter who appears alongside Kath in the title of an Australian sitcom.
20:02Kath and Kim. Kim, hi.
20:04Kath and Kim, well weighted there for the Ā£500.
20:07Celebrity who launched Skim Music.
20:13What would you have gone for there?
20:15Kim. Kim Kardashian, yeah.
20:17I've got them on right now, I'd recommend them.
20:19So, well done, what a great round.
20:21You definitely chose the right category, didn't you?
20:23Yeah. You know your Kims and your Kylies.
20:25But out of all of them, the one you really pounced on was Kim Wilde,
20:28Kids In America, you didn't mess around.
20:30I love a bit of rock and roll.
20:31And the one that tripped you up was a Coronation Street question there.
20:34Don't watch Serps. No.
20:36Who'd have thought there was a Kylie on Coronation Street?
20:38Yeah, I thought Kylie was too cool of a name to be on Corrie.
20:41How dare you?
20:43That's our national programme in the North West.
20:46I know what you mean.
20:48It was Kylie Platt, that was the answer there.
20:50So, with just one wrong, a great total of Ā£400.
20:55Kylie Platt, that was the answer there.
20:57So, with just one wrong, a great total,
21:00and we'll see if it's enough to put you through to the heads ahead.
21:02Well done. Thank you.
21:09So, Imogen and Cassie,
21:11we're going to add that Ā£2,100 to your round one total,
21:15giving you a prize pot of Ā£3,500.
21:19But who is going to face the answer run next?
21:21Andrew and Kieran.
21:23Davil and Josie, here comes another qualifier question.
21:34I'm going to guess. No.
21:36Oh, we're going for it. Andrew and Kieran?
21:38We're going to guess. Is it a hat? It is a hat.
21:40Yes! Very good. Good guess.
21:42Come on down to the answer run. Well done.
21:50Bit of a guess there. Yeah.
21:52Yeah, why not? You may as well go for it, haven't you?
21:54Yeah. We've got you here to the answer run.
21:56If you won some money today, what would you spend it on?
21:59Well, we have... I don't know why I was looking at you, Andrew.
22:02Kieran, what would you both spend it on?
22:04You've got no choice in the matter. We're moving house soon,
22:07so it's probably going to get pumped into all sorts of boring things.
22:10It's going to be a kitchen, I guess.
22:12If we win some money, it'll be a kitchen.
22:14Towards a kitchen. They are surprisingly expensive.
22:16Yeah, just dropping the ocean of that kitchen.
22:18OK, well, that would be lovely, to have an answer run kitchen.
22:20That would be very nice, every time you're in there,
22:22making a brew or something sweet, you'd be thinking of us.
22:24Great stuff.
22:25So, a reminder, at the end of this, one of the teams will be going home,
22:28so the pressure is on.
22:30Everything is to play for, and there's two categories remaining,
22:33and they are...
22:38What do you think?
22:39Well, wood and metal seems to be the more obvious answers, but...
22:44I think I'd go for that.
22:45Greek and Roman might be a bit too similar subject matter for me.
22:48So, yeah, we'll go wood and metal, yeah?
22:50Wood and metal.
22:51Wood and metal!
22:52Let's prep the answer run.
22:54You're going to swipe left for wood and right for metal.
22:57You've got 15 questions and 90 seconds on the clock.
23:01We'll put a clock up for the viewers at home.
23:03Best of luck, your time starts now.
23:05The big one.
23:06Roller coaster at Blackpool.
23:08I think that is wood.
23:09I think that's wood as well.
23:10400.
23:12It's made of steel, metal.
23:14Bars on a glockenspiel.
23:16I think they're metal.
23:18Yeah, go for it, 500.
23:19Let's go.
23:20They are metal, well done. 500 pounds.
23:23Front door at 10 Downing Street.
23:25I think it would be wood, but this is for 1,000 pounds.
23:28Is it going to be... Go on.
23:30Go on.
23:31Let's do wood.
23:33Oh, it's steel!
23:35It's bomb-proof, of course.
23:372019 film starring Riz Ahmed as a drummer, Sound Of Black.
23:40Yeah, Sound Of Metal for 500.
23:42Sound Of Metal, well done. Right, back off.
23:44Here we go, 500 quid.
23:45The mathematical bridge in Cambridge.
23:47I think it's made of wood. Go for it.
23:51It is wood, well done.
23:54Better conductor of heat.
23:55It's metal for 100 pounds.
23:57Let's go for it.
23:59It is metal for 100 pounds.
24:02Norwegian, according to The Beatles.
24:04Norwegian, wood. Yes.
24:06For 100.
24:08Let's go for it.
24:09Norwegian wood, very good.
24:11A UK species of pigeon.
24:13The wood pigeon, 200.
24:15Oh, I've missed it. Don't time it.
24:17The wood pigeon, of course.
24:21Guru in a UK number one single by T-Rex.
24:24I don't know.
24:25I'd guess metal. Let's go low, then.
24:29Metal Guru.
24:32In the name of a video game series featuring Solid State...
24:35Metal Gear Solid.
24:36Oh, no!
24:39Metal Gear Solid, I heard you say it there as well.
24:42What a shame, just at the end there.
24:44I've got to say, you two,
24:45your communication skills are fantastic.
24:47They really are.
24:48You're an advert to married couples everywhere.
24:51That's what he's told, doesn't he?
24:52That's why we've been together for so long.
24:54Patient, calm, supportive, you've got everything.
24:56It's been great to watch.
24:57So, you did very well, though.
24:591,600 pounds.
25:00A couple of fumbles along the way,
25:01that's until you're kicking yourself about.
25:03Yeah, absolutely.
25:04The door at 10 Downing Street.
25:06That's going to haunt us.
25:07That is so obvious.
25:08Of course.
25:09That is so obvious.
25:10I think our heads are wood.
25:11But, yeah, that's an obvious...
25:12It's a metal door all day long.
25:13I guess every other door's wood, isn't it?
25:15Yeah, it's kind of the old-fashioned look of it.
25:17It does look wood, yeah.
25:19But steel, of course, bomb-proof.
25:21Of course it is.
25:22Makes sense now, doesn't it?
25:23Yeah, it does. Perfect sense.
25:24There are some roller coasters at Blackpool Pleasure Beach
25:26made of wood, but the big one at Blackpool is made of steel.
25:29That's where I went with.
25:30I knew that Blackpool Pleasure Beach had a wooden roller coaster.
25:33Yeah, they do have a wooden one.
25:35Big dipper, that one is, in the Grand National.
25:37But the big one is very much metal.
25:39More than that, I think you should be very proud of yourselves.
25:41Ā£1,600.
25:42We'll see if it's enough to take you into the head-to-head.
25:44Well done. Thank you.
25:51So, Andrew and Kieran, we're going to add that Ā£1,600 to your round one total,
25:55which takes your prize pot to Ā£2,750.
26:00Daryl and Josie, you are last to play.
26:03Come on down to the answer run.
26:12So, do either of you host any quizzes?
26:15Yeah, in my bar and restaurant job, I host quiz nights as well, yeah.
26:18Yeah, OK.
26:19So, do you think a lot of those questions have gone in?
26:21Probably going in, but maybe out the other area as well, who knows?
26:24I'm the same with this job, to be honest.
26:25Not a clue what's going on.
26:27And if you won some money today, what would you spend it on?
26:29So, we got married, obviously, in October,
26:31and we're saving up for our honeymoon,
26:33and we're going to go to Florida.
26:35Oh, wow.
26:36Disney Mad, so...
26:37Oh, brilliant.
26:38So, just a couple of weeks, just hitting all the parks.
26:40Yeah, rides, food galore.
26:42Yeah.
26:43Go big or go home, so...
26:44All right, well, look, you, of course, only have this category remaining.
26:49Greek Roman. How do you feel about that?
26:51Greek food, great.
26:52Yeah.
26:53That's about it.
26:54And that's eating it as well, so...
26:56I think they're left with the first option, strictly,
26:58and Britain's Got Talent, but we'll work with it.
27:00I'm sure we can do well.
27:01On the plus side, you only need Ā£800 to send you through.
27:05And if your timing's right, that could be one question.
27:08Yeah.
27:09So, let's prep the answer room.
27:13Greek to the left, Romans to the right.
27:17You've got 15 questions, 90 seconds on the clock.
27:20We'll put a clock up for the viewers at home.
27:23Good luck. Your time starts now.
27:26Origin of the Olympic Games.
27:28It's Greek, yeah, I would say Greek, yeah.
27:30Go for the Ā£200.
27:32Greece.
27:35The Spanish Steps.
27:37They are Roman.
27:39Ā£500.
27:40I'd do Ā£500 just to be on the safe side.
27:42Yeah, they're in Rome. Well done.
27:45Feta cheese.
27:46That's Greek, yeah, go for the Ā£100, yeah.
27:49OK.
27:51Oh, just got your timing wrong.
27:53That's OK.
27:54Good.
27:55Sophia Loren.
27:56I'd say she's Roman.
27:58Do you want me to do Ā£200, then?
28:00Yeah, do Ā£200 just in case.
28:02Just cos we're on.
28:03Oh!
28:05Ā£200, well done.
28:07Moussaka.
28:08Moussaka is definitely a Greek dish, I would say.
28:10Ā£300.
28:11Yeah, Ā£200.
28:13Nice.
28:14Greek, well done.
28:16SS Lazio football team.
28:18It's a team in Italy, so it's definitely got to be Roman.
28:20OK.
28:21Yeah.
28:22Sure?
28:23Very good.
28:26Martin Kemp's DJ son.
28:28His name is Roman, yeah.
28:30So I'm going for the Ā£200.
28:31Yeah, do that.
28:32Roman Kemp.
28:35The philosopher Plato.
28:37Plato, I believe he's Greek.
28:39I'm going to lower him out, yeah.
28:42Plato's safe.
28:43He is Greek, well done.
28:45Prince Philip.
28:47I believe he's also Greek.
28:49I'm going to go low, though.
28:50Yeah, do Ā£300.
28:51Yeah.
28:53Yeah, Ā£300, well done.
28:56Oh!
28:58That was hard.
28:59Wow, well done!
29:00That was difficult, that one.
29:02Another couple with excellent teamwork skills.
29:05That was really tough.
29:07Yeah, I think that's the first time we've listened to each other,
29:09to be fair.
29:10Well, you know what?
29:11We are at a quiz show, but we're also marriage counselling.
29:13Yeah.
29:14There you go.
29:15This is the best marriage council to come on a quiz show.
29:17You must be chuffed there with that.
29:19Yeah.
29:20Are you impressed?
29:21I knew more than I thought I would from the subject.
29:23Yeah.
29:24And you got your timing right, you were waiting for it,
29:26that was all very good.
29:27Hedge your bets and make sure you go for the lower one,
29:29just in case.
29:30The Parthenon was at the end there, didn't quite get to it.
29:32Do you know where that is?
29:33Greek.
29:34Yeah, that's in Athens, so you'd have got that one.
29:36That was worth only Ā£50, so not too bad.
29:38Yeah.
29:39Josie, your favourite one, out of all the history questions,
29:41was when Roman Kemp got mentioned.
29:43You knew that one straight away.
29:44I knew that one straight away, and I'm not even sure why.
29:46I couldn't even tell you why, but I just knew who he was.
29:49I was like, Roman Kemp, I know him.
29:51Straight in, straight in, fantastic stuff.
29:54Well, it was a brilliant round, 1,950.
29:57Back you go.
30:04So we're going to add that 1,950 to your round one total,
30:08which gives you a prize pop of 3,950.
30:12Well done, puts you in the lead.
30:15That means we have to say goodbye to Andrew and Kieran.
30:18I can't believe it.
30:19Sad times.
30:20I know.
30:21What a shame.
30:22It's been lovely to meet you both.
30:23Couple goals all over the place.
30:25Fantastic.
30:26Have you had a good time?
30:27We've had a really good day.
30:28We've met some really good people and we've had a really good day,
30:30so thank you very much.
30:32Great.
30:33Well, thanks so much for coming on the show.
30:34Let's give it up for Andrew and Kieran, everybody.
30:36Thanks for playing.
30:37APPLAUSE
30:42Now it's time for the head-to-head
30:44and here is how it's going to work.
30:46The head-to-head is all about being in control.
30:48Both teams will face the answerer at the same time.
30:51Whoever is in play will answer questions until they get one wrong.
30:55Once a wrong answer has been given,
30:57you'll swap over to the other couple
30:59and that will keep happening every time somebody gets one wrong.
31:02To decide who will start the round,
31:04we will play another qualifier question.
31:06Fingers on buzzers.
31:08Which TV drama series, first broadcast in 2015,
31:12is a prequel to Breaking Bad?
31:15Daryl and Josie.
31:16I believe that is Better Call Saul.
31:21Oh, you... Come on, then, well done.
31:23Come on down to the answer run.
31:25APPLAUSE
31:27APPLAUSE
31:34Daryl and Josie, well done there.
31:36That was one of those moments where you're like,
31:38I know it, so I'm just going to press the button
31:40and wait for my brain to engage.
31:42Well, you did it. Well done.
31:44You will start this round in control
31:46and today's head-to-head category is...
31:53How do you feel about that, Josie?
31:55They are places.
31:56They are places, look at that, you're already one ahead.
31:58I've got universities I could never get into.
32:00All right.
32:01Same, same.
32:02But then again, judging by your knowledge today,
32:04maybe you should reapply.
32:05Maybe.
32:06All right, OK.
32:07Second calling.
32:08Answer run.
32:09Prep yourself.
32:11Swipe left for Oxford, right for Cambridge.
32:14There are 15 questions,
32:15but this time you've got two minutes on the clock.
32:18Remember, if you keep answering, you will stay in control,
32:21but Imogen and Cassie, you'll see,
32:23they're hovering in the background, waiting to pounce.
32:26Once again, each question will have two values,
32:29so make sure you get that timing right,
32:31depending on how brave you're feeling.
32:33Are you ready?
32:34Yeah, I'm good to go.
32:35OK.
32:36Daryl, Josie, your time starts now.
32:38In the title of a 2008 UK top 40 single by Vampire Weekend...
32:42Cambridge.
32:43Cambridge, yeah, going for 750.
32:45Stop the clock.
32:47Oxford, come on forward.
32:50I knew that.
32:54OK, Imogen and Cassie, let's restart the clock.
32:59Lyra Belacqua's home in Northern Lights by Philip Pullman.
33:04Cambridge?
33:05I'm not too sure on this one.
33:07Stop the clock.
33:08It's Oxford, let's swap back over.
33:14OK, another chance to stay in control.
33:16Start the clock.
33:18Massachusetts City, where Harvard and MIT are located.
33:22That would be, I believe it's Cambridge.
33:24We'll go for 200.
33:26It is Cambridge, for 400.
33:28Nice.
33:29Setting for the Inspector Morse novels and TV series.
33:32I think Oxford, go for 150.
33:34OK. Yeah.
33:36It is Oxford, well done.
33:38Location of Addenbrookes Hospital.
33:40So, Addenbrookes is in Cambridge.
33:42Cambridge, I'll go 1,500.
33:43Yeah, do it.
33:45Very good, and a big one, 1,500, that one.
33:47Third place is Stephen Hawking.
33:49That was Oxford.
33:51I'd do 250, I think it's Oxford.
33:53Oxford, for 500, well done.
33:55Happy accident.
33:56Has the larger population.
33:59I would say Oxford.
34:01Yeah, do 200.
34:03It is Oxford, not by many, but well done.
34:06Location of Kassam Stadium.
34:08It's worth Ā£1,000.
34:10Yes, I would say Cambridge, but do 500.
34:13Stop the clock.
34:15OK, you were right to keep on 500.
34:17Let's swap over.
34:18Imogen and Cassie.
34:22Bit to make up here, 2,200 between you.
34:25It can be done.
34:26Let's start the clock.
34:29On the River Thames.
34:31I would say go 300, Cambridge.
34:33Stop the clock.
34:35It's Oxford.
34:37Let's swap over.
34:38Thank you, Boat Racers.
34:43OK.
34:44Back in control.
34:46Let's start the clock.
34:48Location of an area nicknamed Silicon Fen.
34:51No idea.
34:52Yes, Cambridge, 150.
34:56Correct, well done.
34:58Where more people commute by bicycle,
35:00according to the most recent census.
35:02I would say Oxford, but do 1,000.
35:05Stop the clock.
35:07It was Cambridge.
35:08Thankfully, you only lost 1,000.
35:10Come on forward, ladies.
35:14OK.
35:17Another chance.
35:18It can be done.
35:20Start the clock.
35:22Location of the Fitzwilliam Museum.
35:24It's worth 1,000 pounds.
35:26Cambridge?
35:27Do we risk it?
35:28Do it.
35:29We can go home.
35:30It's worth 1,000, well done.
35:31Its university was founded first.
35:33Oxford.

35:36Catching up.
35:37Served by direct trains from London King's Cross.
35:40Oxford, I think.
35:42Stop the clock.
35:44It was Cambridge.
35:46Let's swap over.
35:49Oh!
35:52It's tense.
35:53OK.
35:55Let's start the clock.
35:58Oh!
35:59No chance at all, but well done.
36:02Daryl and Josie.
36:06Come on forward, Imogen and Cassie.
36:08That was so nail-bitingly close at the end there.
36:12If you'd have got that question right,
36:14it would have been you guys going through to today's final.
36:17What a shame.
36:18Was it a bit of a guess, or do you know it now?
36:21They're both too southern for us, to be honest.
36:23Yeah.
36:24Knowing Pat Sheffield is a bit scary.
36:26A bit too southern for us.
36:27I love it.
36:28That's a great description.
36:29Have you had a good time?
36:30Great time.
36:31Yeah.
36:32Oh, it's been great to meet you both.
36:34Well, look, thanks so much for coming on the show.
36:36I hope it was an experience anyway.
36:38Imogen and Cassie, everybody.
36:40So unlucky.
36:41But congratulations to Daryl and Josie,
36:43who are through to today's final round.
36:49Daryl, Josie, here we are in the final.
36:51You've not stopped giggling all day.
36:53It's very surreal to be here, I'll be completely honest.
36:56Did you not think you'd make it through to the final?
36:59No, I've...
37:00I thought we'd make it past the first round.
37:02And Daryl was like, manifest it, and I was like,
37:04you do that and I'll just say, thank you, I've had a lovely time.
37:07I'm not a manifestation kind of person,
37:10but go for it and don't be able to go home.
37:12Maybe you've learnt something then.
37:14Who knows? Maybe.
37:15Which one of you has applied to be on the show?
37:18It was me.
37:19So it was you?
37:20It was me, yeah.
37:21So you must have had a sort of thought that it might get on.
37:23Well, I have a little bit of competition with me and my best friend
37:25of who was going to get on a game show first, and here I am.
37:29And you've won that as well, so you're already a winner.
37:31That's all right.
37:32Remind me what you want to spend some money on if you win some today.
37:34On our honeymoon, because we got married last year,
37:37so we're saving up for our honeymoon at the end of this year.
37:40All right, and where are you thinking of going?
37:41So Florida, doing all the big theme parks, all the malls, everything.
37:45Great.
37:46I say go for it.
37:47This will be my spending money.
37:48All right, well, let's see if we can get you there.
37:51Daryl and Josie, you are playing for a prize of Ā£4,750.
37:57All that stands between you and that money is one final run.
38:01This time, when you give a correct answer,
38:03the question will turn into a gold block.
38:06You have just 90 seconds.
38:08You need to answer eight questions correctly in a row
38:11and your stack will reach the jackpot line.
38:14If at any moment you get one wrong, though,
38:16or if one of the questions hits the top of your stack,
38:19you will have to start again.
38:22So your thinking time gets shorter the higher your stack gets.
38:27If at the end of the 90 seconds you reach the halfway line,
38:30we will give you half of that money,
38:32so still a fair amount to get you to Florida.
38:34Yeah, absolutely.
38:36Let's have a look at your all-important final choices.
38:41Fox badger, apple pear.
38:44Helpful?
38:46Yeah, I don't really know.
38:49I would lean towards more apple pear,
38:52but it's a complete 50-50, isn't it?
38:55Yeah, you've got to think what other options there could be
38:57in relation to that.
38:58The answers have all been not what we thought anyway.
39:01Apple pear, go for it.
39:02Why not?
39:03Apple pear, please, yeah.
39:05All right, let's prep the answer room.
39:07We're going to swipe left for apple and right for pear.
39:10Best of luck.
39:12Let's see if we can't get you to Florida.
39:14We'll put a clock up for the viewers at home.
39:16Your time starts now.
39:18In the name of the company set up by the Beatles.
39:20It's got to be Apple.
39:22Apple? Yeah, I'll go Apple.
39:24Apple Corps Limited.
39:26Used to make the drink peri.
39:28That is pear, I believe.
39:31Pear cider from the barman, we should expect.
39:34In the familiar lyric, the 12 days of Christmas.
39:37Partridge in a pear tree, I'd go right.
39:39Partridge in a pear tree.
39:41Has a variety named Bartlett.
39:43I think that's an apple, but probably...
39:46Apple? Yeah, go for apple.
39:48Oh, it's pear.
39:50OK.
39:51Fernand Olivier, modelled for the 1909 Picasso work
39:54Woman With Blankets.
39:56I'd go pears.
39:58With pears, yeah.
40:00In Greek mythology, a golden one caused a feud
40:03resulting in the Trojan War.
40:04I think that's also a pear.
40:06I don't think it's an apple, I think it's pear.
40:08It was apple, don't worry. Still plenty of time.
40:10Tree in which May and Damien make love
40:13in Chaucer's The Merchant's Tale.
40:16Oh, it's a pear.
40:18All right, don't panic.
40:19Term for part of the fruit produced by the cashew tree.
40:23Um, pear?
40:25Go for pear.
40:27That's apple.
40:29In the title of a 1978 rhyming book by Janet and Alan Aylberg.
40:33I'd say pear rhymes with more than apple, so...
40:36Pear. OK, we've got to be quick here, guys.
40:38Meaning of the German word bierne.
40:41Do you know? No.
40:42Do you know German, what it means?
40:44Oh, it's pear!
40:45It's all right.
40:46Has a variety named Blevip.
40:48Oh!
40:52Oh, guys.
40:54So frustrating, isn't it?
40:56That was so tough, so tough.
40:58It's so intense as well, yeah.
41:00Yeah, you got eight answers right,
41:02but they just weren't all in order, unfortunately.
41:06Some real toughies in there, wasn't it?
41:08Yeah, some really tough ones.
41:10Who knew apples and pears were so hard?
41:12That's it.
41:13Yeah, who knew?
41:14But you had a good time.
41:15Yeah, lovely time, thank you.
41:17We're really pleased to have spent some time with you.
41:19Thanks for coming on the show.
41:20Daryl and Josie, everybody.
41:21That's how it works sometimes, as you know.
41:23I hope you've enjoyed the show at home.
41:25We'll see you next time when three more teams take on the Answer Room.
41:55Wow.
