00:00Thank you Deb. Now we watched them grow up in Emmerdale and Corrie, but these days Adam and Ryan Thomas have been overseeing contestants, balancing on seesaws, racing inside sleeping bags and packing up pop-up tents on their hot new game show, 99 to Beat. And with the final airing tomorrow night, all bets are off.
00:23We started with 100 contestants and said goodbye to 92. Now, only eight remain. One of you will leave tonight with £25,000. Eight contestants, seven more games. This is it, the final!
00:47Hello! Good luck everybody! Good luck!
00:53Please welcome Adam and Ryan Thomas.
00:58Oh wow! What a show this is!
01:14Obviously, we're talking about sex and orgasm, aren't we?
01:17My brother's out!
01:19Yes! It all happens here on a Friday.
01:22Oh yeah!
01:22It looks like there's quite a lot happening on your... I love the sleeping bag channel.
01:29Oh yes!
01:29But I bet you they all wake up the next morning. It must be so stiff.
01:33And so sweaty as well. Honestly.
01:36What are we talking about here?
01:37Yeah!
01:38Yeah!
01:39It's hard to be.
01:40They were very hot in them sleeping bags as well.
01:42Yeah.
01:43Some of them were really challenging.
01:45And as it's going on, they're getting more and more bonkers and they're close to getting that prize-winning now and the tensions going, they're crying.
01:52Oh fantastic.
01:53It's a little bit competitive.
01:54And you get to have a go yourself, haven't you, sometimes?
01:57I know, a few of the games, yeah.
01:59You get beaten?
02:00Brian beat me, I'll be honest with you.
02:02That's the older brother saying that, isn't it?
02:03Yeah, yeah.
02:04He's a lot better at me.
02:05Have you had that all your life?
02:06You're a pretty one!
02:07I mean, he was latching a spud on a fork. I mean, it's not that much.
02:12No!
02:13That's the great thing about this show, because anybody can play these games.
02:16Well, you say that, but I couldn't do that in a sleeping bag.
02:18Well, you could!
02:19Well, you could!
02:20You'd be surprised.
02:21I'll get in there with you.
02:22It'd be a lot better.
02:23Stop!
02:24It's supposed to be a lot faster if they have the end.
02:27Oh, you'd be all that great.
02:29That's fantastic!
02:30You know, you've got like 70-year-old men, you've got, you know, 18-year-old guys.
02:34Yeah.
02:35It's not a mental or physical challenge.
02:37It's just about getting involved, playing them at home with the family.
02:40You know, you can make a paper airplane and you can throw it and see how far you throw it.
02:45And the object of the game is don't come last.
02:49And that is it.
02:50I want to know, really, because I know you both very well.
02:54What's it like working with your brother?
02:57Well, you should know.
02:58I mean, I love it.
02:59I don't know about it.
03:00What's the worst bit?
03:01Come on.
03:02The worst bit?
03:03Erm...
03:04Come on.
03:05No!
03:06Competitiveness.
03:07No, no, yeah.
03:08I mean, we're very competitive.
03:09There's four years between you, right?
03:11Yes.
03:12Can I just say something?
03:13I've got to get this off my chest.
03:14Oh, God.
03:15I've got a confession.
03:16Oh, no.
03:17We do look very much alike.
03:18Yeah.
03:19And, erm...
03:20For the last, like, years, only this year, I've realised that there's two of you.
03:23No!
03:24Oh, God!
03:25Oh, God!
03:26I was like, oh, God!
03:27I was like, oh, God!
03:28I was like, oh, God!
03:29I was like, Ryan's working a lot, innit?
03:31Yeah!
03:32It's a lovely place.
03:33I'm crying everywhere.
03:34I'm crying everywhere.
03:35I've been telling everyone it was Ryan that I worked with on the show.
03:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:40It was me.
03:41It was me.
03:42It was me.
03:43I get that all the time.
03:44Why don't I just meet your Ryan?
03:45She's like, oh, God.
03:46She's like, oh, God.
03:47She's like, oh, God.
03:48She's like, oh, God.
03:49She's like, oh, God.
03:50Someone didn't realize it was...
03:51Yeah, sir.
03:52Yeah, I was confused all the time, don't we?
03:54I'm so sorry.
03:55Yeah, it's weird, because I've got a twin brother who looks nothing like me.
03:57There's another one!
03:58Yeah, there's another one!
04:00There's another one!
04:01You can't sit here, sir.
04:03You can't sit here without us asking about you returning to Corrie.
04:06Oh, we'd love to talk about this.
04:08This is, yeah.
04:09This is quite big news, isn't it?
04:10Yeah.
04:11Jason's coming back to, er, to save Eileen.
04:15Yeah, yeah.
04:16It's just, we're very grateful for Corrie.
04:19How did that come about?
04:20Tell them how it came about.
04:21Okay, okay.
04:22Well, Mother rings me and says, will you come back from my exit story line?
04:24I went, yeah.
04:27How did you feel walking back on the cobbles after all those years?
04:31Very nostalgic.
04:32Yeah.
04:33It takes you down memory lane, a place where it all started.
04:37And, you know, me and Adam are both very grateful for the soaps, because, you know, it's why we are who we are and where we are now.
04:44And, you know, Coronation Street, Emmerdale, they're iconic and they're such a big part of our growing up and our lives.
04:49And, you know, Sue is, is, is my second mum and, you know, I get to work with her back in the Grimshaws and it's just, it's a dream come true to go back to that place and revisit it with the woman who brought me up for 16 years.
05:04Aww.
05:05Aww.
05:06And now your kids are following into the business, yeah?
05:19Yeah.
05:20Yeah.
05:21Yeah.
05:22Yeah.
05:23Our kids are following in our footsteps, aren't they?
05:24So, I'm in a show called Waterloo Road.
05:25Yeah.
05:26No, I know.
05:27I know.
05:28Just to be like, you know.
05:29But, yeah, his, his daughter is playing my daughter in the show and my son's playing my son, so.
05:34Oh, well, lovely.
05:35Yeah, it's nice, man.
05:36It's a family business.
05:37I feel like, you know, as, as we get older, I feel like the best job in the world is being able to work with your family.
05:42Yeah.
05:43You know, it doesn't feel like work.
05:44And so, we're very lucky in that.
05:45And how blessed are they that they've got their uncle, they've got their dad, so much that can help nurture them, because obviously they've got the talent, that's why they've been chosen.
05:52Yeah, yeah.
05:53And they've got you surrounding any kind of business, family business, that's what you would want.
05:56Exactly, of course.
05:57And look, if we can give them the opportunity and the, and the, the foot in the door, then rightly so, we're going to do that.
06:02Yeah.
06:03We'd be bad parents if we did that.
06:04Yeah.
06:05But if you don't work hard.
06:06At the same time, they've got to still have the talent.
06:07Yeah.
06:08And they've still got to work hard.
06:09Yeah.
06:10We know that, that you guys can host a game show, but how good are you as a player?
06:15Oh.
06:16Talking about competitiveness.
06:18We're going to be testing how much you know about each other's soap storylines in a game of Buzz in Brother.
06:25Yeah.
06:26Oh, yeah.
06:27Oh, yeah.
06:28That was an issue, wasn't it?
06:29Yeah.
06:30Mega Londoner, we have the Quincy Monster, we pursue.
06:32That's a good baby, so.
06:33Play nicely.
06:34Okay, oh, yeah.
06:35It's very simple, if you know the answer, well.
06:38Yeah, okay.
06:39This is going to be tough.
06:40Right.
06:41Hit it.
06:42Oh, it does work.
06:43Oh, it does work.
06:44Okay.
06:45Okay.
06:46Who was in the most episodes of their soap?
06:48Ryan.
06:49Yeah.
06:50Yeah.
06:51He was definitely.
06:52The Brian definitely was, because that's more than 40.
06:55Who has the most on-screen siblings?
06:58Me.
06:59You've got one sibling, haven't you?
07:01One sibling.
07:02Adam, you've got six.
07:03Ryan, you're being scratched.
07:05I'm going to get slightly off-piste with a question.
07:08You're being scratched.
07:09You're being scratched.
07:10Who is the most vilest, bad-tempered person first thing in the morning?
07:15Me.
07:16Are you trying?
07:18Yeah.
07:19Yeah.
07:20Don't talk to me in the morning.
07:21Who has spent the longest time in prison?
07:25Oh.
07:26Well, I should've had some time.
07:32Hold on, show my caries.
07:33I'm not worried, though.
07:34I'm not worried, though.
07:35That was right.
07:36It was right.
07:37Adam was in for four months.
07:39Sentenced for nine months for arson in 2014.
07:41Oh.
07:42Yeah.
07:43And then sent in prison in December of 2017.
07:46Wow.
07:47Amber Barton's murder.
07:48Oh, wow.
07:49Mother for the mother.
07:50Oh.
07:51I know.
07:52I'm very pretty, this one.
07:53Right.
07:54Who's on-screen mum said this?
07:56You're destroying the best thing you have going for you.
07:58It offers some cheap tart-like smack arrows across the hole.
08:01Come on.
08:02Yeah.
08:03Go on, slow down all the time.
08:04I know.
08:05Uhhh.
08:06Yeah.
08:07Yeah.
08:08Yeah.
08:09Yeah.
08:11Yeah.
08:12Yeah.
08:13Oh, my God.
08:14Who?
08:16Who had the most on-screen love interests?
08:18Definitely me.
08:20Oh, cocky, aren't they?
08:22So, Ryan, can you name them?
08:25Errrr...
08:31Well, thank you guys for being such a great sport.
08:34Oh, thank you.
