00:00Hello everybody, welcome along to Tuesday's House of Games.
00:12I'm Richard Osmond, I'm joined by four famous faces all week.
00:15They're playing a series of ridiculous rounds and at the end of the week winning a ridiculous trophy.
00:20Let's meet this week's players, shall we?
00:22They are Martin Afaya, Rebecca Lucy Taylor, Val McDermott and Charlie Baker.
00:30Hello everyone, a very happy Monday for you.
00:33It was, Val, a victory on the first day.
00:36Took it home, melted the cheese with the fondue set.
00:39Yes, I should point out you won a fondue set.
00:41But how does that feel? Is it nice to have one under your belt so you can relax a bit into it?
00:44There was a lot under my belt after that fondue last night.
00:48Charlie Baker, more of a blue Monday for you.
00:50You were leading, you were leading, but Val was too strong in the end.
00:53How do you feel today?
00:55I feel being up against Val is slightly against the rules.
00:59I think she should have her own rules.
01:01She's very good at the game.
01:02She's good, but you're good as well.
01:04Thank you, thank you Richard, I appreciate that.
01:05That's the thing to remember.
01:06Listen, all you've got to do is be Charlie Baker.
01:08That's all I can do, that's all I've got.
01:10Martin, that's right, you've got to forget the opposition, right?
01:12You've got to play your game.
01:13Yeah, just focus.
01:14I'm bringing my one point back and I'm going to replicate.
01:16Yeah, one, hey, one point.
01:18You've also, Martin, got one point on the weekly leaderboard as well.
01:21So, let's take a look at it.
01:23You have one, Rebecca, you have got two, Charlie's got three
01:27and Val at the top there with four.
01:29What can we do today, Martin, do you think, to get more points on the board?
01:32I just think a lot more sports focus, rugby league.
01:35We haven't had much rugby league so far, have we?
01:37The 80s.
01:37Martin, I'm not going to lie to you,
01:39we tend not to have an awful lot of rugby league on the show.
01:42In the quizzes I've seen, if there is a rugby league question,
01:44the answer is normally Martin a fire.
01:46That's exactly right, isn't it?
01:51Rebecca, now, prizes, Val won a lovely fondue set yesterday.
01:54OK, would you like to take a look at today's prizes?
01:56I'd love to, yes.
01:59Oh.
02:00You've got the onesie, you've got the helmet,
02:02you've got the playing cards, the decanter and the tote bag.
02:05I mean, essentially, that's a rock band's rider, isn't it?
02:07Yeah.
02:07What are those really like?
02:08Everything very useful in my life.
02:10I mean, that decanter does look like quite a nice, you know, thread count.
02:15But the...
02:16It's a four-tog decanter.
02:18Yeah.
02:18Yeah.
02:19So I would probably go with that,
02:20because I'm drawn to shiny, glittery things.
02:22You're drawn, you surprise me.
02:26Beryl, what would you go for?
02:27Well, we have a lot of whiskey in the house,
02:29so the decanter would come in useful.
02:31But I do like a nice tote bag.
02:33Oh, interesting.
02:34So, you know, walking around the local shops with your face on,
02:37that would be quite something.
02:38That would be a flex, for sure.
02:39That would be a flex.
02:40So I'm, as we say in Scotland, I'm swithering.
02:43Swithering, excellent.
02:43Charlie, what would you go for?
02:45Has to be the decanter, doesn't it?
02:46Has to be the decanter.
02:47The most expensive one.
02:49You know, when it all goes wrong, it's got the highest resale value.
02:52Yes, it does.
02:52Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
02:54So?
02:54Martin?
02:55I'm torn, I'm torn.
02:56Between?
02:57Between the decanter and the bag,
02:59because I think the bag would be a great conversation starter
03:02when you go out, isn't it?
03:03Oh, my God.
03:03You need to walk around with that bag,
03:04and people are going to talk to you.
03:05I would honestly hate to imagine the conversation
03:07if it would start, but yeah.
03:08OK, listen, shall we get on and play Tuesday's House of Games?
03:14Val, you won on Monday.
03:15Charlie, you were winning.
03:17Everybody's still in it.
03:18Four days to go.
03:19Our first round on Tuesday's House of Games is...
03:21Klaus of Games.
03:27Now, what we've done in this round,
03:29we've taken the names of some films, OK,
03:31but we've changed one of the words.
03:32So you see Klaus of Games, it's like House of Games,
03:34but we've changed House to Klaus.
03:36Yeah.
03:37And in this, we've taken the name of a film
03:38and we've changed one word to something that rhymes, OK?
03:41I'm now going to show you a synopsis of the new film.
03:44Martin, here's your unusual film synopsis.
03:47After the Normandy landings,
03:51a group of soldiers go deep behind enemy lines
03:53to retrieve a big cat whose brothers have been killed in action.
03:59So it's a real film,
04:01but we've changed one of the words
04:03to something that rhymes with it.
04:05Oh, Saving Private Lion.
04:08Saving Private Lion?
04:11Is the right answer, Martin.
04:12Well played.
04:13Saving Private Lion.
04:16Rebecca.
04:16OK, we've taken the name of a film.
04:18We've changed one of the words
04:20into a word that rhymes with it.
04:23And here is the new synopsis.
04:25In New York City,
04:27Meg Ryan and Sean Williamson
04:28wonder whether a man and a woman
04:30can be platonic friends.
04:35When Barry met Sally.
04:38When Barry met Sally.
04:40Absolutely right, Sean Williamson.
04:42Yeah.
04:43You see Barry on EastEnders.
04:44When Barry met Sally.
04:45When Harry met Sally.
04:46When Barry met Sally.
04:48Val.
04:48One for you.
04:49A film.
04:50We've changed one of the words.
04:53Scientists regrow the DNA
04:54of an extinct species of predatory fish.
04:58OK.
04:59So, I'm thinking it's something to do with Jurassic Park.
05:07Predatory fish.
05:11Jurassic shark.
05:12Jurassic shark.
05:14Well played, Val.
05:15Jurassic shark.
05:16You just rebooted the franchise.
05:17I mean, come on.
05:19How about that?
05:20Charlie, one for you.
05:22Topol sings if I were a rich man
05:25to coax Beech's star bet
05:27down from the top of the house.
05:31Middler on the roof.
05:33Middler on the roof.
05:34Fiddler on the roof
05:34becomes Middler on the roof.
05:35Well played, Charlie.
05:38Point for everyone.
05:39And we go back to you, Martin.
05:41OK.
05:42Now, it's not a film.
05:44It's Shakespeare plays.
05:46Here's your new synopsis.
05:47A loud, piercing cry
05:51is heard in an enchanted forest
05:53populated by fairies.
05:59I'm thinking Scream.
06:00Midsummer Night Scream.
06:01A Midsummer Night Scream.
06:03Well played, Martin.
06:05Nicely done.
06:07Rebecca, one for you.
06:09A Shakespeare play.
06:10We've changed the word.
06:12Et tu, Brute?
06:13You muppet.
06:14Yells a blokey East End emperor
06:16as he is assassinated.
06:21OK.
06:22So, Julius Geyser.
06:25Julius Geyser.
06:27Well played, Rebecca.
06:28That's exactly what it is.
06:29Julius Geyser.
06:31Val, a Shakespeare play for you.
06:43Merchant of tennis.
06:44Merchant of tennis.
06:45Well played, Val.
06:47That's exactly what it is.
06:48Merchant of tennis becomes the merchant of tennis.
06:50And Charlie, for eight out of eight,
06:53you wouldn't have put money on that.
06:54No.
06:55Or a pound of flesh.
06:57Here's your Shakespeare play.
07:00The royal mollusk, King Leontes,
07:02tears his family apart with his jealousy.
07:04I would help you if I could work out the answer.
07:12What is a mollusk?
07:14Or shallow?
07:16I don't think it is, but I'm tempted to give you a point anyway.
07:23Charlie, I am going to give you a point.
07:25Oh, my gosh.
07:26I mean, that goes down in the annals as a difficult question.
07:28Do you know this at home?
07:30Well done if you do.
07:31Let's take a look at the answer.
07:34The winter snail.
07:36The winter's tail becomes the winter snail.
07:38It's too many about jealousy and family.
07:40I'm giving you a point for Oshelo.
07:42Oh, thank you very much.
07:44It's a better answer.
07:45Exit pursued by a snail.
07:46Yeah, exactly.
07:47Really long exit.
07:49If Shakespeare were watching, he'd go,
07:50that's good.
07:51That's a good idea.
07:52Charlie.
07:52It's the end of the round.
07:55Let's take a look at our first leaderboard on Tuesday.
08:00Everybody's got two.
08:01How about that?
08:02How lovely.
08:03Two, two, two, two.
08:04It's like a ballet shop.
08:06Let's take a look at our pairs game, shall we, on Tuesday.
08:08It's going to be...
08:10My perfect match.
08:14Now, the player in last place chooses their partner.
08:16Currently, that's everyone.
08:18So, Charlie, why don't you choose a partner?
08:20I'll choose Val.
08:21Yeah.
08:22Yeah, why not?
08:23Val and Charlie, you're a team.
08:25I mean, said a little bit too quickly for Rebecca and Martin.
08:28Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
08:31Val and Charlie, you're a team.
08:32Rebecca and Martin, you're a team.
08:33In this round, I'm looking for my perfect match.
08:35And there needs to be someone who combines two characteristics, OK?
08:38So, Rebecca and Martin.
08:40I am looking for someone...
08:42..who has won an Oscar.
08:45But who also...
08:47..has appeared in the Vicar of Dibley.
08:49That's what I'm looking for.
08:50And one of the following two people is my perfect match.
08:53Is it Peter Capaldi or David Tennant?
08:58Oh, dear.
08:59Oh, dear.
09:00Hmm.
09:00I don't know who's won an Oscar, but if I was going to guess, I think Tennant.
09:07Yeah, my feeling is, you know, my feeling has been wrong in the past.
09:11Is Oscar...
09:12Is it, like, an actor Oscar or could it be something there is an Oscar?
09:16Could be something else.
09:17Could be any Oscar, yeah.
09:18If that's the case, I'm going to say Peter.
09:20OK.
09:21What's the change of heart?
09:23Just I feel like Peter will have been in an ensemble that maybe won an Oscar
09:29and is more likely to have been in the Vicar of Dibley.
09:32So, you're going Peter Capaldi?
09:33Yeah.
09:33What do you think at home?
09:34You agree?
09:34You disagree?
09:35One of these people, there's not one Oscar or appeared in the Vicar of Dibley.
09:38One of them, both of those things have happened to them.
09:41And it is Peter Capaldi.
09:45Very well done.
09:46He directed a short film.
09:48I won the short film Oscar.
09:49Oh, lovely.
09:50And he was a TV producer in the Vicar of Dibley.
09:53Now, Peter was my perfect match, but there must be others out there for me, Val.
09:57But now I'm looking for someone who fulfills these two criteria.
10:03Someone who's owned shares in a British football club.
10:08And someone who's launched their own line of emojis.
10:11I mean, that's what I like.
10:14One of these two people is my perfect match.
10:17Robbie Williams or Ryan Reynolds?
10:22Ryan Reynolds has shares in Wrexham FC.
10:25Has he got his own emojis?
10:27I don't know about that.
10:29It's just what he's pretty good on.
10:31He made $610 million from gin.
10:34Right.
10:35Did he?
10:36Yes.
10:37Robbie Williams is a big Port Vale fan.
10:39I don't know if he's got money in the club.
10:42Has Robbie got his own emojis?
10:44Have they all got wings?
10:45Not angels.
10:46Is that angel emojis?
10:48Lovely.
10:49I just think Ryan Reynolds being in there is quite random.
10:53If it's not the Wrexham answer, I don't know.
10:55That's how my mind works.
10:57And he's got a beard, which would go with Richard quite well.
10:59Exactly.
11:00Richard looks lovely with his beard, doesn't he?
11:01Really lovely.
11:02Let's probably go for the other beard, yeah.
11:04OK.
11:05So we're going Ryan Reynolds?
11:06Yeah.
11:07What do you think at home?
11:07Would you go Ryan or would you go Robbie?
11:09They both own shares in football clubs.
11:11Oh.
11:11Ryan in Wrexham, Robbie's own shares in Port Vale.
11:14Only one of them has launched her own brand of emojis.
11:17So who is my perfect match?
11:18Is it Ryan Reynolds?
11:21It is not.
11:22It is Robbie Williams was the answer.
11:24The moment you get involved with me, Val, it all goes wrong.
11:27It's me being superficial.
11:29That was the situation of knowing too much in a funny kind of way.
11:33Exactly, yes.
11:33Too much information.
11:34And you too much.
11:35Rebecca and Martin.
11:37OK.
11:37For a number of reasons, Robbie and I are no longer together, as you'd imagine.
11:41I'm now looking for someone who combines the following two characteristics.
11:47Someone who has a fear of toilets.
11:49What?
11:49Very important.
11:52But who also auditioned to be the UK representative at Eurovision.
11:56I genuinely would be interested in who this is.
12:02Is it Rita Ora or Rochelle Humes?
12:08What do we think?
12:11Rita Ora, is she auditioned for Eurovision?
12:13I don't know for sure.
12:15I doubt Rita would have.
12:17You doubt?
12:18But I also, something in my gut is telling me that Rochelle probably doesn't like toilets.
12:24I've always felt that about her.
12:25I've just, you know, I feel like Rita has toured more than Rochelle.
12:31And you can't tour with a fear of toilets.
12:35Maybe that's why she's got a fear of toilets.
12:36Oh, that's so true.
12:40My money's on Rochelle.
12:41OK.
12:41But I am open to compromise.
12:42I'm going to put my money with your money.
12:44Yeah.
12:44Excellent.
12:45On Rochelle.
12:45Yeah.
12:46Rochelle.
12:46So, who's my perfect match?
12:50Oh, I'm so sorry.
12:52Rita.
12:52Rita auditioned for Eurovision.
12:54Yeah, because I remember being at some point.
12:55Oh, now you've got them facts.
12:57I'd say it.
12:58Oh, did you?
12:59What was that?
12:59Rewind.
13:012009.
13:01I didn't know that.
13:03Sorry, babe.
13:04I bulldozed over you with my gut, which is...
13:06No, I...
13:06Pre-fame it was.
13:08Val and Charlie, my final perfect match of the round, needs to combine these two things,
13:14please.
13:14Someone who supports Everton FC, I'm sure, but who also has worked in Tesco.
13:21That is what I am looking for now.
13:22And one of the following two would suit me down to the ground.
13:26Mary Berry or Jodie Comer.
13:30Wow.
13:30What do you think?
13:32Now, Jodie Comer is...
13:33Jodie's Comer's scouts, isn't she?
13:35Scouts, yeah.
13:36So, it's more likely, I think, that she supports Everson.
13:40I can't imagine Mary Berry on the terraces.
13:45Shouting at Richarlison.
13:46Shout for the toffees.
13:47Yeah.
13:47Come on, the toffees!
13:49She's more of a sticky toffee, isn't she?
13:50Yeah.
13:50Has she worked in Tesco?
13:54She might have worked for Tesco, but I don't think she's worked in Tesco.
13:57That's true, yeah.
13:58I'm going to say Jodie Comer.
14:00Yeah.
14:01Jodie Comer.
14:02I tell you, they both support Everton.
14:03Oh.
14:04I tell you that, but only one of them worked in Tesco.
14:07Who is my perfect match?
14:10Jodie Comer, my perfect match.
14:12Very well done.
14:14Mary Berry's first job was demonstrating newfangled electric ovens.
14:18Oh.
14:18That was her first job many, many years ago.
14:21Jodie Comer, very well played.
14:23Lovely end to the round.
14:24Let's take a look at what it's done to our scoreboards.
14:26This is going to look familiar, I think.
14:28Do you remember when everyone was on two?
14:30Everyone's on three.
14:31How about that?
14:32Good news.
14:32That's nice, isn't it?
14:33Lovely.
14:34How lovely.
14:35We're all sticking together.
14:36Let's see if we're still stuck together after round three, shall we?
14:39It is two clues in one.
14:44Fingers on buzzers, please.
14:46I'm going to show you a category.
14:47Your first category is...
14:50The seven dwarfs.
14:52Okay, so the answers will all be seven dwarfs.
14:54I'll give you a clue to the answer we're looking for,
14:56but the clue will also have the same initial as the answer.
14:59So, which of the seven dwarfs is this, please?
15:01Yes, Val.
15:07Sneezy.
15:07No, what am I saying?
15:08It is not sneezy.
15:09Sleepy.
15:10Sorry.
15:11Rebecca.
15:12Sleepy.
15:13Sleepy?
15:14Absolutely.
15:15Well played.
15:16Sleepy.
15:17Next one.
15:22Yes, Charlie.
15:23Grumpy.
15:24Grumpy is the right answer.
15:25This is very meta, this one, isn't it?
15:28Next seven, dwarf.
15:29Blushy.
15:34Yes, Martin.
15:36I decided to press it.
15:39Sneezy.
15:40It's got the same...
15:41Oh, no.
15:42Rebecca.
15:43Bashful.
15:44Bashful.
15:45That's absolutely right.
15:47Bashful.
15:48But you're showing the sportsman's instinct.
15:51Which is buzzing.
15:53Next category.
15:55All the answers will now be best picture winners at the Oscars.
15:58I'm like, okay, stand down.
16:00Movies?
16:01Is this movies?
16:02This is films, yeah.
16:02Here's your first one.
16:05Teaching Kindly Sovereign.
16:10Yes, Rebecca.
16:11Oh, no.
16:14No.
16:15Nope.
16:15I just, yeah, I was a sportsman about it.
16:17Yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:19Teaching Kindly Sovereign.
16:20What film is that?
16:22Charlie.
16:23The King's Speech.
16:23The King's Speech.
16:25I'll play Charlie.
16:26Absolutely.
16:28Next one.
16:30Scrappy Mastermind.
16:35Val.
16:36Slumdog Millionaire.
16:37Slumdog Millionaire.
16:39I'll play Val.
16:40Absolutely right.
16:42Next one.
16:43Trainee Starling opposite Terrifying Lecter.
16:51Yes, Martin.
16:53Oh, the one where it's the...
16:56Shall we time you out, Martin?
16:58Oh, God.
17:00We'll time you out.
17:01Buzzards will be of a Val.
17:03Silence of the Lambs.
17:03Silence of the Lambs is the answer.
17:06Well played, Val.
17:07Final category is...
17:12U.S. TV dramas.
17:13Which U.S. TV dramas are these, please?
17:21Yes, Val.
17:22The Sopranos.
17:23It is The Sopranos.
17:25Well done.
17:26Next one.
17:33Yes, Rebecca.
17:35Game of Thrones.
17:35Game of Thrones.
17:37Well done.
17:38That would be a better name for it.
17:41And your final question in this round?
17:48That's Val.
17:50Mad Men.
17:50Mad Men.
17:51Well done, Val.
17:52With the tiniest of pauses that suggested to me you buzzed in
17:55before you knew the answer, but...
17:56I knew the answer, but it wasn't quite cohering in my head.
17:59Listen, I absolutely understand.
18:01You want them to take a breath.
18:02Of course you do.
18:03Mad Men, well played, Val.
18:04That's the end of that round.
18:05And let's take a look at our scoreboard.
18:07We've got amongst them here, I think.
18:09But it's still lovely and close.
18:13Martin, you have three.
18:15Charlie, you've got five.
18:16Rebecca with six.
18:17She won yesterday.
18:18She's got a one-point lead today.
18:19Val McDermott with seven.
18:21Well played, Val.
18:22Two rounds to go before we give away Tuesday's prize.
18:26What's round four going to be today?
18:27Let's take a look.
18:31Where is Kazakhstan?
18:33Tablets out, please.
18:35Now, I'm going to show you a map.
18:36Here is today's map.
18:39Britain and Ireland.
18:41That's nice and easy, isn't it?
18:42Hmm.
18:42I'm going to ask you to find out a series of things on this map.
18:46So, the first thing I'd like you to find is this, please.
18:49The country estate where the Enigma code was cracked.
18:54Oh, God.
18:55Where was that?
18:56And then, where was that?
19:05Everyone's in.
19:06Martin, do you know the answers to this?
19:08It's not Bletchley Park.
19:09I think it is, yeah.
19:10So, it's obviously...
19:11And then the question is, do you know where Bletchley Park is?
19:13It's sort of surrey around the area.
19:16Let's take a look at where you've gone.
19:18Yeah, kind of Cotswolds-y.
19:21Rebecca, did you know this one?
19:23No, but I assumed it would be, you know, something like Bristol.
19:27Yeah.
19:28I mean, it's somewhere like Bristol, I reckon.
19:29Feels like something that could happen in Bristol.
19:31I can't be sure that that's where I've put the cross.
19:33Okay.
19:34Let's take a look at where Rebecca is.
19:37Yeah, Wilt Sheery.
19:38Val.
19:39Val, are you thinking Bletchley Park as well?
19:41It was Bletchley Park, yeah.
19:42I think it's to the east of Oxford.
19:45Okay.
19:47Some nice grouping here from everyone.
19:49I still have to do Never Eat Shredded Wheat when someone says east or west.
19:52Every time.
19:52Even you.
19:53Yeah.
19:54Do you know what, Charlie?
19:55Even me.
19:56I feel better about myself now.
19:58Exactly.
19:58Charlie, did you think it was Bletchley Park?
20:00I did think it was Bletchley Park.
20:01I thought it was Berkshire, but it's probably Oxfordshire, if everyone else is saying it is.
20:07Wow, we're all in the same place, really, aren't we?
20:09What are you saying at home?
20:10I'll tell you where it is.
20:11It's in Buckinghamshire.
20:12Hmm.
20:13What does that mean for who's won the point?
20:15Let's take a look, shall we?
20:16Val, you're closest.
20:20Well done, Val.
20:20Nice to be done.
20:21Yeah, of course.
20:22Well done at home if you got that.
20:25The next thing I would like you to find, please.
20:28The birthplace of the actor and director, Kenneth Branagh.
20:33Where was Kenneth Branagh born, please?
20:36It's somewhere on that map.
20:38Do you know this one at home?
20:41Are you going to have a guess?
20:44A little point at the screen now.
20:48OK, everyone's in.
20:51Rebecca, do you have a sense of this one?
20:54Again, I thought it might be something that would happen in Bristol.
20:57So...
20:58A lot does happen.
21:00A lot, though.
21:00OK, yeah.
21:01It's eclectic, isn't it?
21:02Yeah, the statue's done.
21:03I don't know where he's from, but I assume the south.
21:07Let's take a look at where you've gone.
21:09Bristol.
21:10I mean, you are very much getting squatters' rights.
21:13Famously from Bristol, Kenneth Branagh.
21:16Val, what are you thinking?
21:17Well, his recent film, Belfast, I think was based around his childhood.
21:23Oh, no.
21:24And so I'm kind of thinking that hopefully he was born there as well as growing up there.
21:29OK.
21:30It was largely set in Bristol, though, that film.
21:32It's probably filmed in Bristol.
21:34Some of the accents sounded like it was.
21:36So let's see where Val is.
21:39Up there in Northern Ireland.
21:41Charlie, what did you think here?
21:42Now, I've talked myself out, because I know he has a strong presence.
21:46I think he grew up in Reading.
21:48There was a...
21:49I don't know if he was born in Reading.
21:51He has a presence in Reading.
21:53Wow, this has taken a turn, hasn't it?
21:54I don't know why I know that, but I think he was born in Belfast.
21:58He's thinking of Rick... Oh, OK.
22:01So you've gone, uh...
22:03Absolutely.
22:05Sort of covering up Loch Ness there.
22:07Uh, and what were you thinking, Martin?
22:10Pfft.
22:10I just thought Branagh.
22:12That sounds a bit Scottish, so I'll put someone in Scotland.
22:15So in Scotland.
22:15Yeah, pretty much, uh, Edinburgh.
22:19So, we've got a couple of Belfasts.
22:22Edinburgh and we've got ourselves a Bristol.
22:24The answer is Belfast.
22:27But who from Charlie and Val has won the point?
22:32Ooh.
22:33Wow.
22:33I'm going to give you both a point there, I think.
22:35I think we cannot say there's four pixels between it.
22:39I'm not going to give someone not a point for four pixels.
22:42So a point to both of you.
22:43Well done at home if you knew it was Belfast.
22:45Final question in this round.
22:47Please be Bristol.
22:49LAUGHTER
22:49Home ground of the professional football club
22:53that has a mascot called Cyril the Swan.
22:57That's it's right up Charlie Street.
22:59Do a bit of talk sport, don't you, Charlie?
23:01Football podcast.
23:01I do a bit of talk sport, yeah.
23:02All sorts of things.
23:07OK.
23:08Everyone's in.
23:09Val, do you know the answer to this?
23:11I don't, no.
23:12But I was thinking the Swan, the Swan of Avon.
23:15I thought, you know, since we're on the theme of the Bard,
23:17in this round, but they haven't got a football team
23:19in Stratford-on-Avon, as far as I'm aware.
23:21So then I thought, the Thames, London,
23:24where they have Swan upping.
23:26Yeah.
23:27So I just stuck it on approximately London.
23:29OK, approximately London.
23:32Thames Estuary, you're on there.
23:35Charlie, do you know the answer to this?
23:36It's Swansea City FC.
23:38I mean, I think Swan was an even bigger clue
23:40than you were thinking there, Val, if Charlie's right.
23:44So you are in Wales,
23:45which is where I believe Swansea is.
23:48Martin, did you know this?
23:49I didn't know it, but I just thought to myself,
23:52I know most football clubs and the mascots,
23:54and I thought, it's got to be Swansea.
23:57Got to look at Swansea.
23:58Let's take a look at where you are.
23:59It's a little bit further north in Wales.
24:02Rebecca, did you know this one?
24:04No.
24:05No, no.
24:06Have you gone for Bristol?
24:07Well, yeah.
24:08Good telly, isn't it?
24:09Well, I'm an artist.
24:11I like repetition.
24:13Lovely.
24:13Bring it back to the same joke.
24:15There you go.
24:16OK, let's see where Rebecca is.
24:19She's gone triple Bristol.
24:20I mean, if it's Swansea, that's not far from Swansea.
24:23No, Bristol is it?
24:24So, yeah, with different people playing,
24:26I might have won.
24:27Yeah, exactly.
24:28Well, you might have won.
24:29Let's find out, shall we?
24:30The answer is Swansea.
24:31That is the answer.
24:32Who is closest?
24:33Who scored the final point of the round?
24:34Oh, wow.
24:37Charlie, you are absolutely bang on.
24:39You get another point.
24:40Very well done.
24:41Do you know what?
24:41I'm going to give Martin a point as well there
24:43because you're pretty close on me.
24:45I'll give you that.
24:46And you knew the answer.
24:47That's the end of that round.
24:48Tablets away, please, everybody.
24:50And let's take a look at our leaderboard
24:51going into Answer Smash on Tuesday, shall we?
