00:00Hello, everybody. Welcome along to Thursday's House of Games, what a week we're having so far.
00:14It's been pretty close, but we have a hat-trick of wins from one player.
00:18It was a play-off yesterday, a little tie-break.
00:20Tomorrow, somebody's going to walk away with this trophy.
00:23We've got today, we've got Double Points Friday as well.
00:25Let's find out who it's going to be. It's going to be one of these four.
00:29This week they are Melanie Bracewell, Mark Steele, Ruth Maidley and Jenny Powell.
00:38Hey, everybody. Hello. Nice to see you.
00:40We've only got one more day after this. Let's make the mind know.
00:43Are you all ready? Let's do it across the weekend as well.
00:46Yeah. OK. Mel, yesterday, nearly had him.
00:49We had a tie-break. Yeah. A tie-break which you lost, sadly.
00:54You know, people are saying that I threw it and they'd be correct.
00:57That was just a tactical thing.
01:00You thought he needed another win.
01:01I think he needed another win. He was, you know...
01:03There was quite a lot of activity in the betting syndicates and it is being investigated.
01:08Yes. It is suspicious.
01:10Let's take a look at our weekly leaderboards.
01:12Melanie and Mark are at the top of it, but we do have Double Points Friday tomorrow.
01:17But Mark going pretty well. Three wins in a row.
01:19Impressive.
01:20Yesterday's one was lucky.
01:21Yeah, you were sort of gifted it in the end.
01:24But he is a good quizzer, Ruth, is he not?
01:27Very, very good.
01:28But so are you.
01:29Why, thank you.
01:30So what do we think today?
01:31You know, no, I am actually really pleased.
01:33I've outdone myself.
01:35Yeah, you've done what?
01:35Because I thought it was just going to be an absolute disaster.
01:38And it hasn't been.
01:39It hasn't been.
01:40So I'm very happy.
01:40Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:41And I'm having a very lovely time.
01:42Well, it's lovely having you here.
01:44We've enjoyed having you here all week.
01:45Jenny, we've loved having you here all week.
01:47Bless your heart.
01:48Yeah, I've had a good time, surprisingly enough.
01:50I've enjoyed it.
01:51But listen, life's not just about good times.
01:53It's also about prizes.
01:54It's about prizes, too.
01:55I'm excited to see what today is.
01:56Well, I'm not sure.
01:56I'm not bothered about those prizes, but fair enough.
01:58Shall we take a look?
01:59I'm not getting chippy.
02:00We'll take a look.
02:01OK.
02:01Let's have a look.
02:03Today, whoever wins can walk home with the decanter,
02:06the bread bin, the sliders, the B Hotel,
02:10and the olive oil dispenser.
02:12Awesome.
02:12Oh.
02:13I thought that was a fire extinguisher.
02:15Well, it could be for a tiny fire.
02:17If the B Hotel's got oil in it.
02:20It would be perfect.
02:22Yeah.
02:24Jenny, what would you go for?
02:25I think I'm going to go for the sliders.
02:26You're going to go for the sliders?
02:27Yeah, I'm always on holiday.
02:29Reece, what would you go for?
02:30The decanter.
02:31Yeah, exactly.
02:32My favourite drink.
02:33Yeah.
02:34Mark?
02:34Maybe the decanter, but I think the little fire extinguisher.
02:37The tiny fire extinguisher.
02:40Mel, what would you take back to Australia?
02:42I think I'd go the bread bin.
02:44Lovely.
02:45Shall we get on and play Thursday's House of Games,
02:46see if we can stop the Mark Steele march to Friday?
02:50Very close yesterday.
02:51Let's see if we can get even closer today.
02:52We'll play our first round, which is...
02:54WETTER SLAP, which is letter swap, essentially.
03:02Oh, of course.
03:03So, first thing I'm going to do, I'm going to give you a category.
03:07Your first category is animated characters.
03:10I'm now going to show you the names of two animated characters,
03:13but we've swapped one letter from each.
03:15You just have to tell me who the two animated characters are, please.
03:19Here are your first two.
03:24Jumbo, Derry.
03:28Jumbo and Jerry.
03:30Just so eager.
03:32Mark Steele.
03:33That is Jenny Powell you're disrespecting there.
03:36Yeah.
03:36With your buzz.
03:36Well, it's Jumbo, the big-eared elephant,
03:40and Jerry, the unlikely, usually victorious mouse.
03:46Excellent.
03:47I'm glad you...
03:47What a fabulous...
03:47It's so nice that you're telling us who they are as well.
03:49Yeah, wow.
03:50I just wanted to...
03:51I wouldn't have done that.
03:51Yes, because you were given that information,
03:54you were like, however, I have extra stuff.
03:57I do know these two characters.
03:59He really knows about Jumbo and Jerry, doesn't he?
04:01Mm-hm.
04:02Yeah.
04:02Mark?
04:02It is Jumbo and Jerry.
04:06Very nice.
04:06Very nice, guys.
04:08Next two.
04:10Tori, Digger.
04:15Yes, Mel.
04:16Oh, that was me.
04:17Oh, my gosh.
04:18It's Dory and Tigger.
04:19Dory and Tigger.
04:20Dory from Finding Dory.
04:21The fish and the bouncing tiger.
04:24Oh, thank you, yeah.
04:26Normally we ask Mark to do that bit, if that's all right.
04:31Next two.
04:32Aureole, Pa.
04:38Yes, Ruth.
04:40Ariel and Poe.
04:41Ariel and Poe.
04:43It is.
04:44Well done, Poe from Kung Fu Panda.
04:46Your next category is...
04:49...parts of the body.
04:50Two parts of the body.
04:51We've swapped a letter across.
05:00Yes, that is Mel.
05:01Um, chest and nose.
05:04Chest and nose?
05:05It is chest and nose.
05:08Next two.
05:10Shun, skill.
05:15Yes, Mark.
05:17Shin and skull.
05:18Shin and skull.
05:20That's a pub you wouldn't go into, isn't it?
05:21Yeah.
05:22Shin and skull.
05:22Oh, yeah.
05:23Oh, yeah.
05:24Next two.
05:26Timmy, hamstrung.
05:31Yes, that is Ruth.
05:32Tommy and hamstring.
05:34Tommy and hamstring.
05:36It is a pub that they would go into.
05:39Next category.
05:41Current and former currencies.
05:43Round, peel.
05:50Yes, that's Mark.
05:52The pound and the rail.
05:54Yes, absolutely.
05:55A pound and the rail.
05:59Next two.
06:02Drone, rank.
06:06Mark.
06:06Krona and ran.
06:08Krona and ran, though, is looking for.
06:12Final question in this round.
06:15Ten, puny.
06:19Yes, Ruth.
06:21Yan and punt.
06:22Oh, that's great.
06:25Yan and punt.
06:27Very, very nicely done.
06:28Did I do it?
06:28All right.
06:30You took a punt, didn't you?
06:31Yeah.
06:33Very well played, Ruth.
06:34Lovely end to the round.
06:35Our first leaderboard looks like this.
06:40Jenny, inexplicably, despite I remember her giving an answer,
06:43and a correct one, is on zero.
06:46Mel, you're on two.
06:47Ruth, you're on three.
06:48Four points for Mark Steele.
06:50She's our leader again.
06:51Shocking, shocking, shocking.
06:54We have a pairs game to play.
06:56I wonder what it will be today.
06:57It is...
06:58All in the details.
07:03Jenny, who would you like to play this round with?
07:06Oh, well, Ruth, go on.
07:09Would you?
07:10Of course, of course I would.
07:12Ruth and Jenny are a team.
07:13Mark and Mel are a team.
07:14In this round, you did some work before the show.
07:17You filled in some clues that would lead your partner
07:20to something in the world of entertainment.
07:22Mm-hmm.
07:23OK?
07:23You had up to three words to fill in some clues.
07:26Mel, before the show, Mark filled in some clues
07:29that will lead you...
07:30..to a film.
07:33But which film?
07:34OK.
07:34Your first clue is...
07:37It was directed by, according to Mark, Bradley Cooper's mate.
07:42Bradley Cooper's mate.
07:43OK.
07:44I think we've probably got it already.
07:46Its soundtrack includes the song, according to Mark,
07:50Pointy Shape Created.
07:52Ah, I know what you're getting at, potentially.
07:54And...
07:55..previous versions have starred...
07:58..Mason, Garland, Christopherson.
08:02Aha!
08:02It is A Star Is Born.
08:04Must be, is it?
08:04Is it A Star Is Born?
08:05Very nice.
08:06It is very nicely done.
08:09It was directed by Bradley Cooper.
08:12Mm-hmm.
08:12Other than Bradley Cooper's mate.
08:13Oh.
08:14Wow.
08:15Soundtrack, the big song is Shallow from that.
08:18And previous versions have starred Judy Garland,
08:22Barbara Steisen, Chris Christopherson,
08:24all sorts of people.
08:25Very well played.
08:25Mark and Mel.
08:26Nice.
08:27Ruth, before the show, Jenny filled in some clues.
08:30She's filled in clues to lead to a film character.
08:33A film character, but which film character?
08:36He was created by, according to Jenny,
08:39George Lucas.
08:41Mm-hmm.
08:43A young version of him was played by,
08:46according to Jenny,
08:46younger Hollywood actor.
08:51And his occupation is, according to Jenny,
08:55archaeological influencer.
08:57When you said I'd be OK.
08:59Come on.
09:01We know this.
09:01Do we?
09:02Yes.
09:03Yeah, I think the archaeological bit's the clue.
09:05I think George Lucas multiplied by archaeological influencer.
09:09If you dig around a bit.
09:10Indiana Jones?
09:11Indiana Jones?
09:12Yes.
09:13This is the right answer.
09:14Very well done.
09:16The young version of him was played by River Phoenix,
09:20who was a younger Hollywood actor.
09:22And, yeah, he is an archaeologist.
09:24I mean, he's an archaeologist.
09:25But he's also an archaeological influencer.
09:27Yeah.
09:28Just like, you know, make it current.
09:30Thank you, man.
09:31That was weird.
09:33Very well played, Ruth.
09:34And Jenny, Mark, before the show, Mel filled in some clues
09:40that will lead you to an actor.
09:43OK.
09:43An actor, but which actor?
09:46He's appeared in Hollywood films, including, according to Mel,
09:50the good ones.
09:50He plays the title character in the TV drama series Lucifer.
09:59Oh.
10:01And he DJs under the moniker DJ 007?
10:07Question mark?
10:07Oh, that's, see, that's thrown me now, I'm thinking, is it?
10:13I don't know the Lucifer.
10:16DJ 007, I think, obviously, Daniel Craig.
10:19But Lucifer wasn't Daniel Craig, wasn't in that, was he?
10:23I suppose that's a question you're not really,
10:25strictly speaking, allowed to answer.
10:26Yes.
10:27I feel that would be extra information.
10:30Wasn't that Idris Elba?
10:33Was he in Lucifer?
10:35Idris Elba.
10:35And he would want to be Bond, wouldn't he?
10:38Oh, yes, him, Idris Elba.
10:40You're going to go Idris Elba?
10:41It's the correct answer.
10:43Very nicely done.
10:44It's Lucifer.
10:44It's Lucifer.
10:45I can't realise how did you get that from there.
10:48I know, I can't believe you got it from there.
10:50Did Idris Elba play Lucifer?
10:52And, yes, he was in the running for 007.
10:54He was in the running for 007.
10:55That's why his question mark came in.
10:57That's the question mark.
10:58I was like, something that gives a clue
11:00of something I've thought of him lately.
11:01He's appeared in Marvel Films, Beast.
11:03His DJ name is DJ Big Dress.
11:06Would that have helped?
11:07Yes, and I think I didn't.
11:09I remember that he's a DJ, so that probably helped.
11:11There you go.
11:12Which probably isn't true of Daniel Craig.
11:14Jenny, before the show, Ruth filled in some clues.
11:18To a TV programme.
11:20Oh, OK.
11:20But which TV programme is it?
11:24It has featured guest appearances from, according to Ruth,
11:28famous Irish peeps.
11:32It's known for its, according to Ruth,
11:35comedy.
11:38And actors from the show have also starred in...
11:42Oh, gosh, all I can think of is Father Ted
11:46as an Irish comedy.
11:48I wonder if you can think of something else.
11:49I know, I was just going to say, I don't know.
11:52That's all I can think of are an Irish comedy.
11:54Yeah, I mean...
11:57I can only say Father Ted for Irish people and comedy.
12:01It is not, I'm afraid, we don't give a point across.
12:03It's a Derry Girls.
12:04Derry Girls?
12:05Yeah, Derry Girls.
12:06Derry Girls is the answer.
12:07It is only clear if you know it, if you watch it.
12:10Yeah, Nicola Coghlan from that is in Bridgerton.
12:13Yeah.
12:13It's featured guest appearances from all sorts of people.
12:15Arlo Hanlon, Liam Neeson, Chelsea Clinton.
12:18That's the end of our round.
12:19It's the end of our pairs game.
12:20Let's take a look at the leaderboards.
12:21Everybody off the mark now.
12:24Jenny has one.
12:25Ruth and Melanie have four.
12:28Mark Steele has got six points.
12:31Is he going to go four from four?
12:33I wonder.
12:34Our next round is...
12:39Bits of Hits.
12:41If you take your tablets out, please.
12:43Mm-hmm.
12:44First thing I'm going to do is I'm going to play you one second of a famous song.
12:48Okay.
12:49If you know what it is, I want you to write down the answer.
12:51Okay.
12:52Once you've written it down, you are locked in.
12:55So if you're sure, write it down.
12:56If you're not sure, I'm going to play you two seconds of the same song.
13:00Again, if you're sure, write it down.
13:02You're locked in.
13:03And then finally, I will play you three seconds.
13:05And it's whoever gets the right answer first.
13:07Again.
13:08We'll get the point.
13:08Good luck at home as well.
13:10Your first second sounds like this.
13:16Do you want to hear that again?
13:18Yes, please.
13:21Anybody going for it?
13:24Bruce, gone for it.
13:26Jenny's going for it.
13:28Mm-hmm.
13:29Okay, they're both in.
13:30You two not going for it?
13:32I'm not going for it.
13:32Shall we go to two seconds?
13:33Sure.
13:33Two seconds of the same song for Mark and Mel.
13:35Okay.
13:43I'll give you that at home if you've written something down.
13:45Mel is in, I think.
13:47I'm in.
13:48Mark, do you want to go to three seconds?
13:49Yeah, go on.
13:50I can't get it.
13:50Okay.
13:51Three seconds of that song for Mark Steele.
13:59Mark, are we ducking out of this one entirely?
14:01Or do you want to hear it one more time?
14:02Yeah, please.
14:10So, Mark, he's going for something.
14:11Terrible.
14:12I listen to music all day long and I can't get this.
14:15What have you got at home and how quickly did you get it?
14:19Mark, after three seconds, you wrote...
14:22Is it Be My Baby?
14:24Be My Baby.
14:25Let's take a listen.
14:26Is it Be My Baby?
14:27It is Be My Baby by the Ronettes.
14:33But Mel went in two seconds.
14:36Mel, what did you write?
14:37I also wrote Be My Baby.
14:38Be My Baby.
14:39So, Mark does not get a point at the moment.
14:42Mel has got a point.
14:43Unless Ruth or Jenny in one second wrote Be My Baby.
14:48Ruth, you wrote...
14:49Yeah!
14:50Be My Baby.
14:52Jenny, you wrote...
14:52I put Pretty Baby.
14:54Oh, I'm lucky.
14:56Sorry, Jenny.
14:56So, Ruth gets the point there.
14:58I wasn't sure whether we had to put who it was by.
15:00So, I just did.
15:00No, you're absolutely fine.
15:02Shall we do another one?
15:03Yeah, sure.
15:04Okay.
15:04Let's hear your one second now.
15:09Oh.
15:11Let's re-listen to that again.
15:12Oh, um...
15:16Hmm.
15:17Huh.
15:18What do we think?
15:19I think I know, but I'm going to wait.
15:20Mel's going.
15:21I'm going.
15:22Mel's in.
15:23Everyone else, should we hear two seconds?
15:24Same song.
15:30So, Ruth is in.
15:32Would you like to hear that one more time, Jenny and Mark?
15:34Yeah.
15:38Oh, I'm going to put this.
15:39Oh, Jenny's going.
15:40I'm just flagging it, though.
15:42Okay, three seconds of that song for Mark.
15:48Ah!
15:50I thought it was that, but I wouldn't have gone for it.
15:54Everyone is in.
15:55Mark, after three seconds, you wrote...
15:58Right, I've written it in a sort of Swedish language.
16:01Oh, great. Perfect.
16:01It looks like a ransom note.
16:05Mark, let's take a look at your Swedish answer.
16:07Sweet Caroline, is that the right answer?
16:13Sweet Caroline.
16:17Bum, bum, bum.
16:18Of course it is.
16:19I feel like maybe you're not going to get a point.
16:22It's thinking that way, isn't it?
16:23Ruth, after two seconds, you wrote Sweet Caroline.
16:26I should have gone after the first second.
16:29I know.
16:29Did you know it?
16:30Yeah.
16:30And Jenny, you wrote Sweet Caroline as well.
16:33At the moment, you'd be getting the points unless Mel,
16:34in one second, wrote Sweet Caroline.
16:37Mel, you wrote Sweet Caroline.
16:40Very nice.
16:41Very nice.
16:43Nicely done.
16:44Neil Diamond, of course.
16:45Shall we hear our next one second?
16:47Yes.
16:47Here we go.
16:57Let's hear that again.
17:04So, who's in?
17:05Mel is in.
17:05I think I'm in, but I think I've gambled.
17:07Ruth is in as well.
17:08Shall we hear two seconds of the same song?
17:12Oh, phew.
17:13Sorry.
17:14You just completely second-guess.
17:18Does it make it easier if halfway through Ruth lasts
17:20because she's got the right answer?
17:21Sorry.
17:22I'm so sorry.
17:23Yeah, or maybe if you could start drilling.
17:29So sorry.
17:30I'll be quiet.
17:31We're taking a lot of the jeopardy out of the game there, Ruth.
17:33So sorry.
17:34I don't know.
17:34I could see the relief on your face.
17:36Shall we go for three seconds, or Jenny, are you going?
17:39No.
17:39Let's go for three seconds.
17:40Same song.
17:40Oh, right.
17:46No, I don't know.
17:46I don't know that.
17:47I probably would.
17:48No.
17:48Go on.
17:49Is Jenny in?
17:50No.
17:51Do you want to hear it one more time?
17:52Again, yeah.
17:53No, she doesn't know what she's missing.
17:57I'll just have to put water.
17:59Okay.
18:00So, Mark, you're sitting this out?
18:01Yeah, I can't do it.
18:02Jenny, I think, is making something up.
18:04Yep.
18:05I mean, the chance that you might get a point here,
18:08I think has been slightly diluted by the fact that after two seconds,
18:11Ruth just went, yes.
18:13I got it right in one second.
18:15I'm so sorry.
18:16No, but listen, I'm still going to, because I'm a professional,
18:18I'm still going to get some jeopardy out of it.
18:19I'd love it if you did.
18:21Jenny, what did you write after three seconds?
18:22I've just put what she's missing, because...
18:24Because that's what they said.
18:25Because that's what they said.
18:26It's not called what she's missing, I'm afraid.
18:29Two seconds, no one went.
18:31But in one second, Ruth and Melanie both went.
18:35Ruth, you wrote, because you're sure you're right.
18:38Can you imagine if I'm wrong now?
18:39Teenage Dirtbag.
18:40How funny would that be?
18:41By Wetas and Melanie, you wrote...
18:44Teenage Dirtbag.
18:45Is that right for a point each?
18:49It is Teenage Dirtbag by Wetas.
18:53Final question in this round.
18:55I'm not saying a word on this one.
18:56That's good news, Mark, isn't it?
18:57Another one.
18:58I'm going to get this one.
19:00Let's listen to one second.
19:02Look at Mark and Jenny both in.
19:12Oh, is Ruth in as well?
19:13Can I hear it again?
19:14Maybe it's an age thing, Mark, for this one.
19:17Let's listen again.
19:21Is Ruth in as well?
19:24Have you got that one at home?
19:25Amongst contestants of a certain age, which I've tried myself as well,
19:30there was a sigh of huge relief.
19:33Jenny, Ruth and Mark are all in.
19:35Let's listen to two seconds for Mel.
19:38Do you want to hear that again?
19:45I don't know if it'll help.
19:46Let's go to three seconds.
19:47Let's go to three seconds.
19:48Everyone is in.
19:56What do you think at home?
19:57Have we got this one?
19:58After three seconds, Mel wrote...
20:01Karma Chameleon.
20:01Karma Chameleon.
20:02Is it right?
20:04Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma, karma, karma.
20:06Of course, it's right.
20:07Very well done.
20:08A culture club.
20:09Are we giving away three points, I wonder?
20:12Mark, after one second, you wrote...
20:14Karma Chameleon.
20:16Ruth, after one second, you wrote...
20:18Karma Chameleon with an A.
20:19Karma Chameleon, absolutely right.
20:21And Jenny, are we getting three out of three?
20:22You wrote...
20:23Karma Chameleon.
20:24Karma Chameleon.
20:25Very well done.
20:26What a lovely end to the round.
20:28That is the end of that round.
20:29Tablets away, please, everybody.
20:32Let's take a look at our leaderboards.
20:36It's been like this all week, hasn't it?
20:38Jenny with two, Mel with six, Mark and Ruth now in the lead with seven points each.
20:43Two rounds.
20:44Nice to go.
20:45Super close.
20:46Once again, round four today is...
20:49Name tag.
20:54A round of general knowledge, but also strategy.
20:57I'll ask you some questions, so fingers on buzzers.
21:00Each answer will have a name in it.
21:01Please replace that name with the names of one of your opponents, and they will then get the next question.
21:06So you'll get a point, but you'll also give someone else an opportunity to get a point.
21:11Here's your first one.
21:12Which 1952 E.B. White novel is about the friendship between the spider and a pig called Wilbur?
21:21Yes, Ruth.
21:23Jenny's Web.
21:24Jenny's Web.
21:25That's correct.
21:25Charlotte's Web becomes Jenny's Web.
21:29Jenny, that means this question is just for you, so your question is this.
21:33Which fictional astronaut is named in the first line of the David Bowie song Space Oddity?
21:39Let's have Mark Stardust.
21:46It's incorrect, I'm afraid.
21:47Anyone else want to buzz in?
21:48Ruth.
21:49Ground control to Major Mark.
21:52Major Mark.
21:53That's absolutely right.
21:54You get a point.
21:56Weirdly, given Mark an opportunity, you get a point.
21:57I don't know what happened.
21:58I panicked.
22:00I've not read the question.
22:01I was just excited to get it right.
22:03Do you remember at the beginning when I said strategy?
22:04It's okay, don't worry, don't worry.
22:06I'm so sorry.
22:07Mark, I have a question for you.
22:08Okay.
22:11What revolving contraption for making textiles was invented by Lancashire's James Hargreaves
22:16and contributed to the Industrial Revolution?
22:21The spinning Jenny.
22:22The spinning Jenny is the right answer.
22:24The spinning Jenny becomes the spinning Jenny.
22:26That's clever.
22:27You know what, we've never had that before.
22:29No.
22:30Jenny, a question for you now.
22:32Uh-oh.
22:32Here's yours.
22:41Do you know what, I never watched Harry Potter.
22:45Was it Mordor?
22:46That's all I remember, somebody called Mordor.
22:48I'm going to time you out, Jenny.
22:51Moaning Jenny.
22:53It was Moaning Myrtle.
22:56It is.
22:57Well done.
22:58Moaning Jenny.
22:59So, Jenny.
23:00Yes.
23:00This question is for you.
23:02In a 16th century play, which figure from Greek mythology is described as having the face that launched a thousand ships?
23:12Should we time you out?
23:13Yeah, time you out.
23:15Ruth.
23:16Mel of Troy.
23:17Mel of Troy is the right answer.
23:19Well done.
23:21Helen of Troy becomes Melanie of Troy.
23:23Mel, I mean, is this your question?
23:28In The Simpsons, which character, voiced by Kelsey Grammer, starts out as a co-star of Krusty the Clown?
23:34Uh, Sideshow Jenny.
23:38Sideshow Jenny?
23:39Is correct.
23:40Sideshow Bob becomes Sideshow Jenny.
23:42Very nice.
23:43I want to know that.
23:44Jenny, final question of the round.
23:45So, if you get this right, you're giving away a free point to somebody.
23:48Oh, right.
23:50The outlaw William H. Bonney, who was shot dead by Sheriff Pat Garrett, was known by what nickname?
23:58I'm going to give it away.
23:59Give it away, we'll time you out.
24:01Yes, Mel.
24:02Jenny the Kid.
24:04Jenny the Kid?
24:05No.
24:06Is the right answer.
24:07Billy the Kid becomes Jenny the Kid.
24:09That's the end of that round.
24:10Let's take a look at what it's done to the leaderboard.
24:14Jenny has three.
24:15You're giving me a point, bless you, Mel.
24:17Melanie and Mark have eight each.
24:19Look at that.
24:20Look at that, Ruth.
24:21Eleven points.
24:22Oh, my God.
24:23How about that?
24:25Let's do it.
24:25Is Mark going to get four in a row?
24:26Is Ruth going to win her first?
24:28Can Mel catch up with Ruth?
24:30Any of those things could happen.
24:31Jenny, you and I will sit and watch.
24:33Absolutely.
24:33See what happens.
24:36Well, enjoy the fun.
24:37Your final round, of course, is...
24:41Answer smash.
24:42Point for a correct answer.
24:43Point off for an incorrect answer.
24:45Every point could be crucial here.
24:47Your first category is childcare items.
24:51And your first answer smash is this.
24:55What is the title of the album by Charlie XCX
24:58that was a UK number one in 2024?
25:04Yes, Mel.
25:04Brattle.
25:06Brattle.
25:08She's absolutely right.
25:09Well done.
25:09Brattle.
25:10Yeah.
25:10Brattle.
25:12Next clue.
25:13Next picture.
25:13What is the three-word name for the gigantic storm system on Jupiter?
25:22I don't know whether this is right.
25:23Is it the giant red spotty?
25:27We were looking for great red spotty, but giant red spotty is a perfectly acceptable answer.
25:32Someone in my ear tells me.
25:33It's a giant red spot.
25:34Thank you, person in the ear.
25:36Next question.
25:39Which band has had UK number one hits with Viva La Vida and Paradise?
25:46Yes, Mel.

25:53Well played, Mel.
25:54Next category.
25:57Dog breeds will be the pictures.

26:07Yes, Mel.

26:14It is Goggle Boxer.
26:15Goggle Boxer is getting very close at the top of this leaderboard.

26:50Go Westy?
26:51It absolutely is.
26:52I'll go West Highland Terrier.
26:55Any more for any more?
26:57There are no more for any more.
27:00Listen.
27:01Mel did okay there.
27:02Ruth did okay there.
27:03I did all right there.
27:04I'm happy.
27:04I think Ruth has got this.
27:05I'm happy.
27:06I think we might have broken him.
27:07We're excited.
27:08Let's find out.
27:08Maybe it's Jenny.
27:10I think it's going to be close.
27:11Let's find out.
27:12Mark has won the first three.
27:14Won yesterday on a tie break from Mel.
27:16Our winner on Thursday's House of Games...
27:18Ruth Maidley is our winner.
27:22Well done, Ruth.
27:24Very nicely played.
27:26Congratulations to you.
27:27So you've won a prize.
27:28Which of these would you like?
27:30I'm taking the decanter.
27:32That's all.
27:32You're taking the decanter.
27:33Of course you are.
27:34Ruth Maidley wins the House of Games decanter.
27:35And we go into our final show tomorrow.
27:39And we go into that final show with a leaderboard like this.
27:44Double Points Friday tomorrow.
27:45So eight points for a win, six for second, four for third, and so on.
27:49Mark has a two-point lead from Mel and a three-point lead from Ruth.
27:52Jenny, your race might be run in terms of winning the trophy.
27:56However, but...
27:57You can still win tomorrow, but any one of the three of you
28:00can walk away with that trophy tomorrow on Double Points Friday.
28:04It has been nip and tuck all week.
28:06It's going to be nip and tuck tomorrow as well, I'm sure.
28:08Really look forward to seeing all four of you here tomorrow
28:11and look forward to seeing all of you here as well on the House of Games.
28:13APPLAUSE
28:15What's in it?
28:43I won't drink it. I won't drink it. Don't panic.
28:47This is lovely. I'm very, very pleased with this.
28:49That's so good.
28:50Very, very pleased.
28:50Well earned.
28:51Seriously, what is in it?
