00:00Hello, how are you doing? I'll tell you something, I am looking forward to this.
00:26Welcome to a festive edition of Celebrity Catchphrase. Tonight, we've got a sack full of clues and three famous faces hoping to unwrap the lot.
00:35Now, if they can do that, they'll win a festive £50,000 for their charity. Oh, yes.
00:40Let's find out who's been naughty and who's been nice and who is playing Catchphrase tonight.
00:44We've got to have her on our Christmas show because she's the gift that keeps on giving.
00:49It's the hilarious and the delightful Mel Gidroych.
00:53Good to see you, Mel.
00:55Good to see you.
00:56This is going to be great.
00:57Now, forget the snow. The most magical thing to arrive this Christmas is standing right there.
01:03Star of stage and screen, I must have been a very good boy this year.
01:06It's all-around global superstar, the legendary Vanessa Williams.
01:11Happy Christmas.
01:12Happy Christmas to you.
01:14And next to our comedy queen and our Christmas angel, we've got a man who can play Silent Night on a laser harp.
01:21It's the brilliant, the unbelievable, Bill Bailey.
01:25Merry Christmas.
01:26What a Christmas treat.
01:28Oh, stop it.
01:29How are you, Mel?
01:30Really good.
01:30Happy Christmas.
01:31What's your Christmas like at home?
01:33It's big and it's Polish.
01:36That's what I will say.
01:37We have 12 courses on the 24th of December on Christmas Eve.
01:41Right.
01:42One for each of the apostles.
01:44Yeah.
01:45Right.
01:45And no meat, a lot of fish. It's mayhem.
01:49And what was it like in your house growing up?
01:51All I can remember is, like, 56 people showing up on Christmas Day.
01:56Cousins, boyfriends of cousins, girlfriends of cousins.
01:59And the police.
02:02And my poor mum.
02:05A second cousin's boyfriend arrived, not joking.
02:08Mum had not got him a present, ran into the kitchen, wrapped up a small box of matches.
02:13God bless him.
02:14Oh, you know.
02:16I know.
02:16Did his face light up?
02:17No.
02:20Oh, you're strong.
02:21Yes, happy Christmas, everybody.
02:22Happy Christmas, everyone.
02:23So, you celebrate two Christmases, then?
02:25Yeah, absolutely.
02:2624th and the 25th.
02:27The trousers are elasticated, Stephen, at all times.
02:31Because for two big feasts, you slightly kind of go, you know.
02:34But it's great.
02:35It's wonderful.
02:36So, Vanessa and Bill, are you ready for this?
02:38Yes.
02:38Mel has got a special cupboard.
02:41A special cupboard?
02:42It's not a euphemism, Vanessa.
02:45But it's in said cupboard.
02:46It's my Christmas nook.
02:48And the Christmas nook gets busy around April, May time.
02:54That's weird, though.
02:55Because I like to prepare, Bill.
02:56I untangle my Christmas lights in October in readiness for December.
03:01Wow.
03:01We do it at midnight on Christmas Eve.
03:04Do you?
03:05Yes.
03:05Yes.
03:05Now, would you ever have thought that you'd be playing Christmas catchphrase with Vanessa
03:11Williams and Bill Bailey?
03:11It's Christmas, guys.
03:13This is all my Christmases.
03:14This is what Christmas is all about.
03:16It's brilliant.
03:17It's just a joy.
03:18I know.
03:18What's your approach to the game tonight?
03:21Absolute solid concentration.
03:23No chin wagging.
03:24Total focus.
03:25Yeah.
03:26You want to win.
03:27I don't want...
03:28Yeah.
03:28Yes, I do.
03:28Which charity are you playing for?
03:30I'm playing for Insulate Ukraine, who are partnered with a British charity called Paddy Accelerator.
03:36Beautiful.
03:37Nice one, Mel.
03:38Now, you've spotted her already.
03:39She's a Grammy, Emmy and Tony-nominated star.
03:42It's the one and only Vanessa Williams.
03:44Aw, I'm here.
03:45On Christmas catchphrase.
03:48Christmas curtsy.
03:49Christmas curtsy.
03:50Now, we know that you're currently starring in The Devil Wears Prada in the West End.
03:54How's it been?
03:55It's amazing.
03:56We're at the Dominion, and you told me that you used to be at the Dominion.
03:59My first job, age 18, moving scenery.
04:02How about that?
04:03It's a great theatre, isn't it?
04:04It's a huge theatre, over 2,000 seats.
04:06Yeah.
04:06People are coming, loving it.
04:08Elton John did the music, amazing.
04:11And it's turning into this girls' weekend kind of thing.
04:13Like, we see packs of women and mothers and daughters coming, all dressed to the nines.
04:18I know so many people that have seen the show.
04:20But listen, when you first met Elton John, did you in any way feel nervous?
04:24Well, the first time I met him, his trousers were down around his ankles, because he'd just
04:29got his knee repaired.
04:31He got a knee replacement, and I walked into the rehearsal room, and he was showing everyone
04:35his scars.
04:36So I was like, hello.
04:38So that was the first time I actually laid eyes on Elton John in person.
04:41And then I got a chance to go to his lovely home for a beautiful meal.
04:46It was spectacular.
04:47Fresh flowers, candles, delicious meal.
04:52Pets?
04:52Does he have any pets?
04:53I didn't see any pets, but he does collect salt and pepper shakers.
04:58Does he?
04:58So that's his thing.
04:59Yeah, so everyone gets their own individual salt and pepper shaker when...
05:02Stop it.
05:02Yeah.
05:02Really?
05:03Do you keep it?
05:03We'd have to keep it.
05:04No, they were the porcelain.
05:05Did you steal anything?
05:06I did not.
05:07I did not.
05:08I would have nicked something.
05:10I'll let you know, Cifra, I once went to Downing Street, and I actually took some of
05:14the headed note papers.
05:14Yes.
05:15Yes.
05:16Steep in my hand.
05:17That's right.
05:18You are on a watch list now.
05:20Now, as well as everything else, you're a chart-topping singer.
05:24Listen, you've sung Christmas songs.
05:25What's your favourite?
05:26I would probably...
05:27I'll be home for Christmas.
05:30You can count on me.
05:32That's perfect.
05:33That melts my heart.
05:34Aww.
05:36And which charity are you playing for tonight?
05:38Trustees of the London Clinic Limited.
05:40Incredible.
05:41So good to have you on the show.
05:42And Bill Finley's here in the house.
05:44Hey!
05:45Now, Bill, are you a big fan of Christmas?
05:47Do you know what?
05:48I love Christmas.
05:49I love the coming together of people.
05:50We always have a big house full of people at Christmas.
05:53A bit like yourself.
05:53Yeah.
05:54Lots of people, lots of friends and family come round.
05:56A few random neighbours.
05:58Yeah.
05:58You know, you've got to have a few of them.
05:59Yeah.
06:00And people are going, who's that?
06:01Yeah.
06:02And we don't...
06:03But we don't do the gifts anymore.
06:07Do you not?
06:07No.
06:08What?
06:08Bill, that's bleak.
06:09It's just so stressful, isn't it?
06:11Yeah.
06:11It's like, oh, I've got somebody.
06:12Oh, somebody turns up.
06:13You haven't seen.
06:14Oh, did we get them a present?
06:16Oh, did we get them a present?
06:16Give them some matches.
06:17Well, now...
06:19Now you've wrapped up some matches,
06:21that has given me a totally new idea about Christmas.
06:25Like, oh, we haven't got a present for this neighbour.
06:28Never mind, I'll go and wrap up this garlic press.
06:31Or what about these batteries?
06:33I've got some AAA batteries.
06:35Give them them!
06:36Bill, which charity are you playing for tonight?
06:38I'm playing for a charity called Winston's Wish.
06:41What a line-up.
06:42What a Christmas show this is going to be.
06:43Good luck to you all.
06:44Let's hear it for tonight's contestant!
06:48Fist bump, everyone.
06:49Here I go.
06:50Fist bump, fist bump.
06:51Fist bump, fist bump.
06:51Oh, great!
06:52Uh-oh, she...
06:53LAUGHTER
06:53That's one of the least risky things you can do.
06:57And then you nearly took out one of the contestants.
07:00LAUGHTER
07:00Now, in our first round, every...
07:03Stephen, I'm just a bit worried about this shirt.
07:05I feel that the sleeves are too long.
07:08LAUGHTER
07:08This is my TV shirt.
07:10It's the only one I wear on TV.
07:12Can you hit the buzzer?
07:13That's the...
07:13There we go.
07:14LAUGHTER
07:15That's it, Bill.
07:17There you go.
07:18You've been on the sherry already, Bill.
07:20No!
07:21Good Lord.
07:22In our first round, every correct dancer is worth £100 for your charity.
07:26And the bonus is worth £500.
07:28Now, catchphrases can be songs, films or festive favourites.
07:32So just say what you see.
07:34And, Vanessa, if at any point this feels beneath you,
07:36you're absolutely right.
07:38If you think you know the answer, all you've got to do is buzz in.
07:40And if you give me a wrong answer, do not worry.
07:42You will not be frozen out in this round.
07:44Right, let's not hold back.
07:46Let's get going.
07:47Are you ready at home?
07:48Yeah?
07:49Let's do it.
07:50Let's do it.
07:50Here is your first catchphrase.
07:51Good luck.
07:54Mr Chips, everybody.
07:55CHEERING
07:56Just say what you see.
08:07Bill.
08:08Christmas peace.
08:09Oh, it's not Christmas peace.
08:11Oh.
08:11Here's some more.
08:15It's a festive wish that everybody hopes for.
08:19Vanessa.
08:19Peace on Earth.
08:20It's peace on Earth.
08:21Oh, well done, Vanessa.
08:23Now, Vanessa, you're the first out of the traps.
08:26Yes, thank you.
08:27£100 in your bank.
08:29And you get the first chance at the bonus board.
08:32So there's nine squares.
08:33Yeah.
08:33That's hiding our bonus catchphrase worth £500.
08:36Just buzz in when you're ready and remove the square
08:38and say what's there.
08:41Right.
08:43OK, let's take away the square.
08:44Always worth a try.
08:46No matter how silly the phrase is,
08:48it's always worth a go.
08:51Season's greetings card?
08:52Season's greetings.
08:53But do you know what?
08:54Worth a try.
08:55Worth a try.
08:55Not the one we're looking for.
08:56Right, fingers back on your buzzers.
08:57OK.
08:58Here's your next catchphrase.
08:59Here we go.
09:03It's always nice when somebody does this for you.
09:06Vanessa.
09:06Pick up the tab.
09:08She's on fire.
09:09Oh, Vanessa.
09:11We didn't even get to see the clue.
09:13Can we see the clue, please?
09:14Whoa.
09:15How'd you get?
09:16Because there's a little red thing at the tab.
09:17Oh, there's a thing.
09:18And she's picking it up.
09:20Yeah, yeah.
09:21Vanessa, well done.
09:22Good one.
09:23Let's go back to the bonus board.
09:26And let's see what's behind that one.
09:31Oh, hard.
09:32Oh.
09:33Oh, wow.
09:34Three wise men?
09:36I'll say it.
09:37Three wise men?
09:38Yep.
09:38Vanessa's lifted Bill's answer there,
09:41even though it wasn't even Bill's go.
09:43But it's not three wise men.
09:45Look, I'm just trying to join in.
09:47OK.
09:48Fingers poised, fingers ready.
09:49Here's another £100 catchphrase.
09:51Come on.
09:52Come on.
09:54Look, it's Elton John.
09:55What's he doing?
10:00Buzzing if you think you want to have a guest.
10:02You can't be frozen out.
10:07Think about one of his songs.
10:08Mel.
10:11I'm still standing.
10:12Oh, it's not.
10:12You were so happy about that answer as well.
10:14I was so confused.
10:15But it's not the one.
10:16But you're not frozen out.
10:18Think of one of his Christmas songs.
10:25What's he doing there?
10:27Mel.
10:29Walking into Christmas.
10:30He's not walking into Christmas.
10:32Let's play some more.
10:36Step into Christmas.
10:37It's stepping to Christmas.
10:38Yeah.
10:39Oh, we got there, guys.
10:41Blimey.
10:42And Bill now gets a chance at the bonus board to add £500 to his bank for his charity if he gets it right.
10:48Here we go.
10:49And what's behind that square?
10:56There's someone else behind this.
10:57Cracker, somebody's drinking.
11:01It's eggnog.
11:03Christmas cheer?
11:04It's not Christmas cheer.
11:05But did you see at home, Mel had like a bolt of lightning.
11:09Do you think you know the answer?
11:11Don't say it if you do.
11:12Okay, you need to get back to the bonus board.
11:14I know.
11:14But to get back to the bonus board, you need to get this catchphrase correct.
11:17Okay.
11:17Now, this is what I like when everybody's got some money in the bank.
11:33So everybody can now, literally, a sigh of relief.
11:36So, Mel and Bill are on £100.
11:38Vanessa in the lead at the moment with £200.
11:40But Mel seems to think she knows the bonus catchphrase.
11:43There's only one way to find out.
11:44Let's head back there now.
11:47Good luck, Mel.
11:47Buzzing when you're ready.
11:48Whack the buzzer.
11:50Oh, um...
11:51I'm not so sure anymore.
11:53Just press it.
11:54Oh, sorry, I'm pressing, I'm pressing.
11:55Let's reveal it.
11:56Is that going to help?
11:57Three squares in a row revealed?
12:02Um, three...
12:03On the first day of Christmas, I'd say,
12:05but three French hens...
12:07Is it three French hens?
12:09It's not three French hens.
12:11But I love your method.
12:12Fingers poised, fingers ready, everybody.
12:15Here's your next catchphrase.
12:16Good luck.
12:21Get ready for the clue.
12:22It's coming up.
12:24So how is he dodging them?
12:30Go on, Mel.
12:31He's got eyes in the back of his head.
12:32He's got eyes in the back of his head.
12:33Yes, he has.
12:34Right, which means Mel gets another chance at the bonus catchphrase.
12:39Mel, you could now add another £500 and take a lead
12:42if you get this correct.
12:44Hens.
12:45Three French hens.
12:46Oh, sorry.
12:46Buzz, buzz.
12:47I forgot to buzz.
12:48And you've got the best square on the board, as they say.
12:50Will the middle solve the riddle?
12:53Hang on a sec-y.
12:55Um, er...
12:57Er, not back.
13:01Raise the glas...
13:01Christmas cheer we had.
13:03Raise the glas...
13:04Raise the glass.
13:05It's not raise the glass.
13:07Have you had a little guess at home?
13:09OK.
13:10All right, we'll find out if you're right in just a moment.
13:12But everybody back on your buzzers.
13:13Here's your next catchphrase.
13:15What is happening here?
13:26And there's the clue.
13:32Bill.
13:33Er, the greatest of all time.
13:36The goat.
13:37Yes, greatest of all time is correct.
13:38Greatest of all time.
13:39Well done, Bill.
13:40There's the greatest of all time.
13:42Well done, Bill.
13:42Beautiful.
13:43So now, look, it's Eve and Stephens across the board.
13:45Everybody on £200.
13:47Right.
13:47Tense times.
13:48Tense times.
13:49Can Bill now nail the bonus catchphrase for £500?
13:56Let's remove it.
14:00Oh.
14:01Mince pies.
14:02Er, drinking...
14:04Pies.
14:04You need to give us one answer, Bill.
14:07Christmas!
14:08It's Christmas!
14:09Hooray!
14:10Cheers!
14:11Cheers to Christmas.
14:12God bless...
14:13Er, I don't know.
14:14Oh, your time is out, Bill.
14:15Oh.
14:16Oh, we had about 24 answers there.
14:17Bill's not one of them right.
14:19I was freestyling.
14:20I've got to be honest.
14:21I thought you were going to get that there.
14:23There's plenty of clues on that board.
14:24But who's going to get back there first?
14:26Vanessa knows.
14:27Vanessa knows.
14:27Do you think you know Vanessa?
14:28Right, Vanessa.
14:29She knows.
14:29If you get this catchphrase right,
14:31that will bring you to the bonus board.
14:32And then you can hopefully nail it.
14:34Good luck, everybody.
14:35Good luck at home.
14:36Here we go again.
14:36Come on.
14:37Come on.
14:37Look, so what are they?
14:52Er, no signal.
14:54Vanessa.
14:55I don't have the bandwidth?
14:56Oh, it's not the bandwidth.
14:57Bill's just said they are signals.
15:00Keep buzzing in.
15:01You're not frozen out.
15:03Mel.
15:04Stop signalling me.
15:05All right.
15:07It's not.
15:07Stop signalling me.
15:08But what are they?
15:09What is Mr. Chip showing her?
15:11Who's going to get it first?
15:12Vanessa.
15:13You're giving me mixed signals?
15:15You're giving me mixed signals.
15:16Yeah, well, William.
15:18Mixed signals.
15:19And you think you know the bonus catchphrase?
15:21Well, I'll tell you something.
15:23Come on.
15:23This could be a game changer.
15:26OK, back to the bonus board.
15:29Go on, Vanessa.
15:31Let's reveal it.
15:32What is it?
15:32Is it going to help?
15:35Eat, drink, and be merry?
15:40Oh, yeah.
15:41She's got it right.
15:43Yeah.
15:46Let's reveal the other squares as well.
15:48Eat, drink, and be merry.
15:50In all its glory, eat, drink, and be merry.
15:53If you did get that one right at home, congratulations.
15:55If you got it quicker than our celebs, even better.
15:58Now, let's take a little look at the scores on the doors.
16:00Mel and Bill on £200, but Vanessa in a nice lead with £800.
16:05Oh!
16:07Well done.
16:08Very strong.
16:08Time for a break now, but when we come back,
16:11every catchphrase will be worth twice as much.
16:13See you in a bit.
16:13Hey there, welcome back to our festive celebrity catchphrase.
16:32Mel, Vanessa and Bill are seeing it, saying it, and slaying it.
16:35And one of them could walk away with £50,000 for charity.
16:39Now, Mel and Bill, I've got to be honest.
16:42Yeah?
16:42Before the show, I told you, Mel said to me,
16:44listen, I want to do this.
16:46I'm very competitive.
16:47She knows how good Bill is at the game.
16:49And the reality is, Vanessa, you're taking it home.
16:53Yeah.
16:53Totally.
16:53Loving it.
16:54It's a surprise, but I'm loving it.
16:56Tell me something, though.
16:58So you've obviously seen catchphrase before.
17:00How good are you playing it at home?
17:02Because you seem to be playing it very well here.
17:03It's tough because there's a lot of British catchphrases
17:06that I wouldn't know, so I would say I miss maybe 40%.
17:11Not today, Vanessa.
17:12But today?
17:12No.
17:13Not today.
17:13I'm good.
17:14Wow.
17:14Well, Vanessa, stay at the top of the tree.
17:16Right, it's time for the next round.
17:18And every catchphrase, remember, is worth twice as much.
17:21£200 for every catchphrase and £1,000 for the bonus.
17:24But be warned, if you buzz in too early this time,
17:28you will be frozen out, allowing the other players
17:30to get to see more of the catchphrase.
17:32Good luck, everybody.
17:33Good luck at home.
17:34Let's play our Christmas catchphrase.
17:41Oh, Santa, but what's the arrow pointing at?
17:48What's the arrow pointing at?
17:50Mel.
17:51Is he filling his boots?
17:53Oh, no.
17:54Good guess, though.
17:54But it's not filling his boots.
17:56And Mel is frozen out, allowing Vanessa and Bill
17:57to see some more.
18:01You'd hang these up.
18:02Just say what they are.
18:03Oh, my God.
18:04Bill.
18:05Uh, Christmas stockings.
18:06Christmas stockings.
18:08Oh, yeah.
18:11Because he's got the things, the straps.
18:14Yes, I know.
18:15It's an easy mistake to make, Mel.
18:17But don't worry.
18:18If anyone's going to get stockings, it's Bill.
18:20Right, trying to...
18:21You have something to tell us?
18:22What you mean by?
18:23That's entirely unnecessary.
18:25Just because I'm wearing my TV shirt, you decide to have a pop at me.
18:29I love...
18:30I love the fact...
18:31Bill keeps tucking his Christmas shirt in the back of his trout.
18:40Look, Stephen, honestly, I've actually lost quite a bit of weight.
18:43No, I know.
18:44I haven't...
18:45I haven't allowed for that with my TV shirt.
18:48The thing is, every time Vanessa and Mel aren't looking at you, you keep doing this.
18:52I'm tucking his shirt in the back.
18:54It's really making me laugh.
18:56Sorry.
18:56Okay, time to go to the bonus ball for the first time with this £1,000 up for grabs.
19:01Good luck, Bill.
19:03Ooh!
19:04Straight in.
19:05Straight in.
19:06Bullseye.
19:07Will that middle solve the riddle for Bill?
19:09Oh, it's polar bears.
19:12Oh, and what's going on here?
19:15A polar ice cap.
19:17Oh, it's not polar ice cap.
19:18No.
19:19But, oh, look how focused Mel and Vanessa are on that bonus catchphrase.
19:24Who's going to get there next?
19:25Because Mel's on £200, Bill's on £400, Vanessa's still in the lead with £800.
19:29But who's going to bag another £200 for their charity?
19:32Let's find out.
19:33Okay.
19:38And there's the clue.
19:46Guys, come on, just say what you seek.
19:51Vanessa.
19:51Don't cry for me, Argentina.
19:53Spot on, Vanessa.
19:54Well done.
19:57I don't know why I thought you were going to sing it.
19:59I thought you were going to sing it.
20:00Don't cry for me, Argentina.
20:01The truth is I never left you.
20:05All through those wild days.
20:06My magic sister.
20:08I've gone base.
20:09I've gone base.
20:10I've gone base.
20:12Listen to this, right?
20:14Vanessa, you're going to be very pleased.
20:16You've just cracked the £1,000 mark for your charity.
20:18Come on.
20:19And another chance to double your money this time with our bonus catchphrase.
20:23Good luck.
20:24Remove the squares.
20:25Say what's there.
20:25And let's see it.
20:28Spinning on an iceberg.
20:35Oh, it's not spinning on an iceberg.
20:37I'll tell you something.
20:38I think Mel thinks she's just spotted what the bonus catchphrase is.
20:42But we'll find out if she can get there, having got this catchphrase correct.
20:46Who's going to nail it?
20:47Right.
20:54What is it, Bill?
20:55Christmas Wonderland.
20:56Oh, it's not Christmas Wonderland.
20:58Winter Wonderland.
20:59Oh, you've just been frozen out, Bill.
21:00Come on.
21:01And you may have just helped Vanessa and Mel.
21:03Keep pressing and guessing, because whoever gets in first will answer it.
21:07Who's going to nail it?
21:08Who's going to...
21:09Mel.
21:10Winter Wonderland.
21:11It's Winter Wonderland.
21:12Winter Wonderland, I've said that.
21:14I know, you said it after your first answer, Bill.
21:16I'm sorry.
21:17Oh, tucking my shirt in.
21:19But now, look, Bill and Mel seem to be going neck and neck each time after each round,
21:24both on £400.
21:25Vanessa's still on £1,000.
21:27But could Mel take the lead with the bonus board?
21:30Come on.
21:30She seems to think she knows, but we're soon going to find out.
21:35Let's remove that square.
21:37No, that's not a good square.
21:38No, I know.
21:39I know.
21:39I know, you get nothing from that one.
21:41I know.
21:43Well.
21:44It's worth a go, Mel, before you're timed out.
21:47Think about it.
21:49Ice baby.
21:50All out of time.
21:51It's the ice baby on the buzzer, but it's not that.
21:54OK, fingers poised, back on your buzzers, because another £200 catchphrase is coming right up.
22:02Oh, you've got your own catchphrase here, Mel.
22:03What have you done?
22:09What the hell?
22:14Vanessa!
22:16Flipping the script.
22:17She's flipping the script!
22:18Now, can I just say something?
22:21I don't know what that means.
22:23What does that mean, Vanessa?
22:24When you flip the script, you're changing the idea.
22:26I was going to say that, but I thought it was gibberish.
22:28Yeah, you flip the script.
22:30I like it, though.
22:31I like it.
22:31I like it.
22:32Yeah, yeah.
22:32I'll go for it.
22:33Well, do you know what?
22:34Let's flip the script and go to the bonus board.
22:37You're now £1,200.
22:38You could add another £1,000 to your bank, for your charity.
22:42If you get this right, Vanessa, let's remove it.
22:52Skating on thin ice.
22:54No, again, not a bad shout, but it's not the one we're looking for.
22:57Have you had a little guess at home?
22:59With our bonus catchphrase there, you'll see if you're right in just a minute.
23:02But now, another £200 up for grabs.
23:05Here we go.
23:06OK.
23:08What's Mr. Chips just done?
23:15Bill.
23:16He's beat him to the punch.
23:17He's beat him to the punch.
23:19Yes, he has.
23:21I'll tell you what.
23:21Was he running for the bowl of punch?
23:23Yeah.
23:23Have you gotten there?
23:24He did.
23:24And I'll tell you what, you're now creeping up here, Bill.
23:26You're on £600, and if you get the bonus catchphrase,
23:29you will have taken the lead.
23:30Oh.
23:31Ooh, Bailey.
23:32Here we go.
23:33All right, then.
23:36Is this going to be a good square for Bill?
23:37I don't know.
23:38Oh, wait a minute.
23:42There's something on the back.
23:43It's worth a go.
23:44Two bears.
23:48One's a green bear.
23:49Green bear.
23:50Green bear is on the ice.
23:51It's not green bears on the ice.
23:53We need those middle squares.
23:56We do.
23:56That's what we need.
23:57Badly.
23:58Badly.
23:58Who's going to get back there?
23:59You know what they need to do first?
24:01Get this one right.
24:01Bill.
24:13Bill.
24:13Many hands make light work.
24:14He's back in the game.
24:16Back in the game.
24:17Come on.
24:18Many hands make light work.
24:20Bill now on £800.
24:21Slowly, slowly creeping up on Vanessa's £1,200.
24:25And Bill goes back to the bonus board.
24:27Right.
24:28Okay.
24:28Come on, Bill.
24:29Try and get one of the middle ones.
24:30Yes, thank you.
24:31Yeah, all right.
24:31Thanks.
24:31Oh, let's take it away.
24:35It's going to be sky.
24:36A lot of sky.
24:38Red.
24:39Red.
24:40Different shapes.
24:41Different shapes.
24:41Two toes.
24:43Two.
24:44Uh.
24:44Oh.
24:45One bear doesn't know where the other's going.
24:47Right, left.
24:49It's...
24:49Oh, they don't know where they're going.
24:51Oh, out of time.
24:52Oh, I don't know.
24:52It's hard, isn't it?
24:53But, Mel, you just squealed there.
24:54I did squeal.
24:55Is that because you think you know?
24:57I thought that before and I was wrong.
24:59So, ignore the squeal.
25:01But I might know something.
25:02Okay.
25:03Whoever gets back to the bonus board, think about what the animals are.
25:07That's the key.
25:08All right?
25:08Okay.
25:09Who is going to get our next £200 catchphrase?
25:12Let's see.
25:18And there.
25:19Mel.
25:20Irons in the fire.
25:21Oh, it's not Irons in the Fire.
25:22Great guest, though.
25:24Mel is frozen out.
25:25Vanessa and Bill, you get to see more.
25:31Vanessa.
25:33Iron Age.
25:34It's Iron Age.
25:35Ooh.
25:37So, another £200 in Vanessa's bank, bringing you up to £1,400.
25:42And a chance to add another £1,000 to your bank, Vanessa.
25:46Good luck to your first time at this bonus catchphrase.
25:49Right.
25:50Can you nail it?
25:51Let's take it away.
25:53Oh, um, minus, plus, minus, red.
26:01Bill thinks he knows now.
26:02He needs to get that next catchphrase right to have a guess.
26:04But, Vanessa, this is yours for the moment.
26:06Definitely worth a try.
26:08Bear, bear, bear back?
26:11It's not bear back.
26:12Right.
26:13£200 is up for grabs.
26:15But which of our celebs is going to get it in their bank for their charity?
26:19Let's see.
26:19And who's going to get back to that bonus catchphrase?
26:24They need to get this one right.
26:30Just say what you see.
26:37There's the clue.
26:40Mel.
26:42It's a box office smash.
26:44It certainly is a box office smash.
26:46Mel, another £200 in your bank.
26:51You're now on £600.
26:52Bill's on £800.
26:53Vanessa's on £1,400.
26:54But you could change all of that and take the lead.
26:56If you get the bonus catchphrase correct.
27:03Now, surely this is going to help.
27:05Let's take it away.
27:10What are you going for?
27:12Is it polar opposites?
27:13She's in the lead!
27:18Let's take away the final square, please.
27:20Well done.
27:21Bill, you knew that, didn't you?
27:22I knew that.
27:23He was itching.
27:24He was itching.
27:24Honestly.
27:25But, yeah, well done.
27:26He did.
27:27Right.
27:27So now that's changed everything.
27:29Because Bill's now on £800.
27:31Vanessa in second place on £1,400 at the moment.
27:34And Mel in the lead now with £1,600.
27:37Well done.
27:39And do you know what?
27:39There's no time to waste.
27:40Let's head straight into the next round.
27:42Each catchphrase now is going to be worth £300.
27:44And your bonus is worth £1,500.
27:47It's anybody's game.
27:48But who's going to get the next catchphrase?
27:56Oh, Bill.
27:58I saw Mummy kissing Santa Claus.
28:00Yes, he did.
28:01He does.
28:03Bill, you're now on £1,100.
28:06Everybody's broken the £1,000 mark.
28:07This is brilliant.
28:08And Bill gets a chance at the £1,500 bonus catchphrase first.
28:13You know what to do, Bill?
28:14Remove the square and say what's there.
28:17Let's take it away.
28:23The one hand doesn't know what the other hand's doing.
28:25No, I don't know.
28:26That's not what we're looking for, Bill.
28:28OK.
28:28But who is going to get back there?
28:31Remember, £1,500 is what it's worth.
28:33And this catchphrase is worth £300.
28:35All right.
28:36Come on.
28:40The clue is coming up now.
28:43Watch.
28:44Oh.
28:46Vanessa.
28:47Doesn't cut the mustard.
28:48Doesn't cut the mustard.
28:49Very good.
28:50Spot on.
28:50Right.
28:52Vanessa, you now get to the bonus board.
28:54Remember, it's worth £1,500.
28:55A lot of money.
29:00Let's reveal it.
29:01OK.
29:08Before you're timed out, worth a go.
29:12Counting Christmas.
29:13Counting Christmas.
29:14Not counting Christmas.
29:15OK.
29:15Who's going to get our next £300 catchphrase?
29:18Come on.
29:18What's happening here?
29:29We didn't have one of these for quite some time, but we do now.
29:32Bill.
29:33The King's Speech.
29:34It's the King's Speech.
29:35Oh.
29:36And Bill gets back to the bonus board.
29:39OK.
29:42Come on.
29:42Give us another clue, please, Mr. Chips.
29:44Come on, Mr. Chips.
29:45What have we got here?
29:46Counting on the fingers of one hand?
29:52Always not counting on the fingers of one hand, but always worth a try.
29:55OK.
29:57Another £300.
29:58Don't beat yourself up, Bill.
30:00You're doing well.
30:01Here we go.
30:01All right.
30:03Hey!
30:04There she is.
30:05Hey!
30:06Look at the camera.
30:11Bill.
30:12It's the Big Apple.
30:12It's the Big Apple.
30:14Of course it is.
30:16Vanessa, how does it feel to have your own catchphrase?
30:19Look at that.
30:20I'm honoured.
30:20Looking good.
30:22Now, look at this.
30:23Mel's on £1,600.
30:25She was in the lead.
30:26Now, Vanessa and Bill are neck and neck with £1,700.
30:30And Bill could change all of that with the bonus catchphrase.
30:33Right.
30:33Good luck, Bill.
30:34OK.
30:35Let's try and get in the middle one.
30:38Oh, nearly right.
30:40Any clue behind this square?
30:42Anything at all.
30:43Um, isn't it getting all your ducks in a row?
30:50Oh, it's not.
30:51I'll tell you what.
30:53Do you think you have got any idea, Mel?
30:54Be honest.
30:55Well, I thought about ducks and another bird.
31:00Oh, OK.
31:01Right, let's move on.
31:03OK.
31:03Oh, OK.
31:05Right, fingers on your buzzers.
31:07Who's going to get back to the bonus board?
31:09But they need to nail this catchphrase first.
31:12OK.
31:12Literally, with this one, just say what you see.
31:19Simply.
31:20Go on, Bill.
31:21Pulling a cracker.
31:22Yes, it is.
31:24There she is.
31:24Pulling the cracker.
31:26Pulling the cracker.
31:27I love that catchphrase.
31:28OK.
31:29So now, Bill, you are in the lead.
31:31But can you make that lead even bigger with the bonus catchphrase worth £1,500?
31:35All right, then.
31:36Good luck, Bill.
31:37Come on.
31:37Go, Bill.
31:38Let's do this.
31:40Strong.
31:40Take it away.
31:41Oh, what have we got?
31:46Six geese are laying.
31:49Six geese are laying.
31:52He's got it right.
31:54Wow.
31:55Well done.
31:56I think, Mel, you helped him out there with the other bird.
31:59Let's remove the other squares.
32:01Bet everybody at home, and there they are.
32:03Six geese are laying.
32:04Six geese are laying.
32:05Spot on if you've got that right at home as well.
32:07And this has changed the scores drastically.
32:10Oh, my God.
32:11OK, Mel is on £1,600.
32:13OK.
32:13Vanessa in second place at the moment with £1,700.
32:16And Bill with a mighty £3,500.
32:20Stop it.
32:21Stop it.
32:22I'll tell you what.
32:23Tuck my shirt in with the light.
32:24Look at you.
32:26It's been festive, it's been frantic, and it's not quite over yet.
32:30After the break, we'll find out which of our celebrities will take on the mighty super catchphrase to win £50,000 for their charity.
32:38Who's it going to be?
32:38Still anyone's game.
32:40You know that.
32:41See you in a moment.
32:41Welcome back to a very festive celebrity catchphrase, and this is it.
32:59The moment of truth.
33:00One round left to decide who's heading into the super catchphrase for a chance to win £50,000 for their charity.
33:07It's between, of course, Mel, Vanessa and Bill, and I'll tell you what, this has been anybody's game from the very start of the show.
33:14The scores, obviously, at the moment, Mel on £1,600, Vanessa just slightly ahead on £1,700, Bill now in the lead with £3,500.
33:21How are you feeling, Mel?
33:22I feel A, very Christmassy, and B, quite tense, but in a good way.
33:28Well, because this is the round where literally it can change.
33:31I know.
33:32Anything can happen here.
33:33I know.
33:33Because don't forget, Vanessa, you cannot be frozen out here.
33:35That takes the heat off a tiny bit.
33:37It does, it does.
33:37I'm ready to go.
33:38And, Bill, you seem very confident.
33:40I feel confident.
33:41I've pulled up my trousers a little bit.
33:44I feel less self-conscious.
33:46Yeah, he's nicely tucked.
33:48He's ready to rumble.
33:49I'm ready to rumble.
33:50And so are we.
33:51Now, remember, every correct answer now is worth £500, and you can buzz in as often as you like.
33:55Just keep pressing and guessing until you get it right, because at the end of the round, one of you will be facing that super catchphrase to try and bag the £50,000 for your charity.
34:04Good luck, everybody.
34:05Good luck at home, of course.
34:06Here is your next catchphrase.
34:16The clues are all there.
34:21Vanessa.
34:22Ghost of Christmas Past.
34:23It's Ghost of Christmas Past.
34:25Yes, very good.
34:25Straight in there.
34:26Vanessa now on £2,200.
34:28Here's your next one.
34:29Just say what you see.
34:41What is happening to him?
34:46Vanessa.
34:47Fashion makeover?
34:48Oh, it's not fashion makeover.
34:49Good guess, though.
34:50It's not the one we're looking for.
34:51Let's see some more.
34:52You're not frozen out.
34:52Well, think of a modern way of saying it.
35:00Mel.
35:01Is it a glow-up?
35:02It's a glow-up.
35:03Yes, it is.
35:04Great.
35:05Mel, now on £2,100.
35:06Creepin' up on Vanessa.
35:08Here's the next one.
35:14Mel.
35:15Not drumming to the same...
35:17Not drumming to the same drum.
35:22No, it's not that.
35:23Oh.
35:23All we're looking for is a catchphrase.
35:27Bill.
35:28Marching to a different beat.
35:29Oh, Bill, you are so close.
35:31But it's not somebody else's drum.
35:33It's his own drum.
35:34Mel.
35:35Drumming to his own beat.
35:37What?
35:37That doesn't make sense.
35:41So, what is he doing that the others aren't?
35:43She's drumming.
35:44Just keep pressing, pressing, pressing.
35:46Bill.
35:47Beating to his own drum.
35:48No.
35:48Marching to his own drum.
35:50Keep pressing and guessing.
35:53Mel.
35:59Marching to his own beat.
36:01You are so close.
36:03Vanessa.
36:04Marching to his own drum.
36:05Oh, that's what I said.
36:07You are so close.
36:10Bill.
36:10Marching to the beat of his own drum.
36:12Hallelujah.
36:13Oh, thank God.
36:15Oh.
36:16Oh, do you know what?
36:17I thought I was...
36:17Happy New Year, everybody.
36:20Wow, it feels that long.
36:21Ay, ay, ay.
36:22Now, let's see the scores now.
36:23Mel on £2,100.
36:25Vanessa on £2,200.
36:26Bill.
36:26Lovely lead.
36:27£4,000.
36:28And more cat training coming your way.
36:35This is where people top up.
36:38There's the clue coming.
36:40There it is.
36:44Mel.
36:45January sales.
36:46It's the January sales.
36:47January sales.
36:48January sales.
36:50Great.
36:51Here's your next one.
36:52Oh, I tell you what, there's nothing worse when this happens.
36:58What's Mr. Chips just done?
37:08What's he up to there?
37:13Bill.
37:13He's put his back out.
37:15He certainly has.
37:16There's no stopping him.
37:17Oh, my God.
37:19Vanessa knew that one, just didn't quite get in there quick enough.
37:23Right, another £500 up for grabs with this one.
37:27Oh, my Lord.
37:31What is it?
37:33Vanessa.
37:34It's the end of the road.
37:35Well, it's not the end of the road, but they are roads.
37:37OK, you're not frozen out.
37:39Let's see some more.
37:40Oh.
37:41So, it's a type of film.
37:46Bill.
37:46Road movie.
37:47It's a road movie.
37:48Oh, you see.
37:50Bill's now on £5,000.
37:52Can he be beat?
37:54Let's try, Vanessa.
37:58Just say what you see.
37:59Bill.
38:03Drag race.
38:03Oh, the man's a machine.
38:05Well done, Bill.
38:08Let's have another one.
38:10Come on.
38:18What's happening here?
38:24Think of a famous phrase.
38:28Mel.
38:29I wasn't born yesterday.
38:30No, you weren't, Mel, because you got that one right.
38:32Very good.
38:34Ah!
38:35We know what that sound means.
38:37It is the end of the game.
38:39But the super catchphrase is on its way.
38:41But, of course, who's going to be playing that?
38:42I think we all know.
38:43But let's see the scores on the doors.
38:45Vanessa, you're taking away for your charity £2,200.
38:49A huge amount of money for any charity.
38:51Remind us who it's going to.
38:53The trustees of the London Clinic Limited.
38:55And it's where my mum, who came for our opening night ceremony in Devil Wears Prada, became ill and had acute liver failure.
39:06And the London Clinic took such great care of her for 25 days and she passed away there this past year.
39:12So, it's very close to my heart.
39:15It means a lot.
39:15So, I thank all of them.
39:16Absolutely.
39:18Wow.
39:19Mel, you're taking away £3,100 and that's going to?
39:23Insulate Ukraine and they're allied with a British charity called Paddy Accelerator and they're a brilliant gang and they're making shatterproof windows and they're putting them all out across the front line in Ukraine to keep people's homes warm and so the light can come in.
39:41They're amazing.
39:42Nice one, Mel.
39:43And Bill, you are tonight's winner and you're going to be facing the super catchphrase.
39:48Super catchphrase!
39:50So, after the break, it's the big one.
39:52Bill takes on the super catchphrase to win his charity, hopefully £50,000.
39:56Go on, Bill.
39:57The big question is, can he do it?
39:59The way he's playing, if anyone can, Bill can.
40:02See you in a bit.
40:03This is it.
40:20Welcome back to our festive celebrity catchphrase.
40:23Oh, three started the party but now only Bill is left and is ready to take on the super catchphrase where he could win his charity.
40:29The ultimate gift for Christmas, £50,000.
40:33How are you feeling, Bill?
40:35Well, a little bit nervous but, you know, happy to be here.
40:39Yeah, I tell you what, you've played a storming game.
40:41When you think it's been up, down, Vanessa in the lead, Mel in the lead, then you came out on top.
40:46Could have been anyone's game.
40:47Absolutely.
40:48It's great.
40:49So, you are here now, you're about to face the super catchphrase to try and win that massive jackpot for your charity.
40:55Tell us a bit about them.
40:56Well, they're called Winston's Wish and it's a charity that's been set up to offer support and counselling for bereaved children.
41:08So, they do a lot of wonderful work.
41:10It seems very close to your heart.
41:12You seem very passionate about this.
41:13Yes, yes, very much so.
41:14It's something that I felt drawn to because I've known people who've gone through this.
41:19And it's amazing, isn't it, when you can just talk about it to other people.
41:22Yeah, I think so.
41:23And I think that's true.
41:24And I think it makes such a difference.
41:26You know, sometimes people don't quite know where to turn and they don't quite know how to process it.
41:33So, it's important work.
41:35Now, if you were to win the £50,000, what would it mean to that charity?
41:41I think it would mean a huge amount because it would really help their work.
41:47It would sort of, you know, pay for lots of volunteers' work.
41:51It would pay for all kinds of good work that they're doing.
41:53So, yeah, it would mean an enormous amount.
41:55I've got everything crossed for you.
41:57Here's a little reminder for Bill and, of course, for you at home as well.
42:00The pyramid.
42:01There it is.
42:02The famous pyramid.
42:03Oh.
42:03All Christmas-y this week.
42:04Yes.
42:05Now, 15 numbered squares.
42:07Behind each square is a catchphrase.
42:08You've got 60 seconds to get from the bottom all the way to the top.
42:11But you can only move up a level once you've got the catchphrase right from the line that you're on.
42:15Yeah.
42:15Now, it does get tougher the higher up you go.
42:17But as we all know by now, the money goes up as well.
42:20Make it to the top and answer that final super catchphrase and you will be taking back
42:24that £50,000 for your all-important charity.
42:27Now, number 11 is start.
42:30Yeah.
42:30If you get that one right, we will double the money that Vanessa and Mel won earlier on.
42:35So, you're playing for their charity as well if you get that high on the pyramid.
42:38Remember, just say what you see.
42:40Yes.
42:40Just keep on going.
42:41If you want to pass, we can always go back.
42:43And, Bill, I really just hope you do it.
42:46Simple as that.
42:47Are you ready?
42:48I'm ready.
42:49Okay.
42:49Your 60 seconds will start when you select your first number from the bottom row.
42:53Okay.
42:56Let's start with number four.
42:58Come on, Bill.
43:03Gold.
43:05A couple of gold.
43:05World.
43:06World.
43:09Golden ball.
43:10Pass.
43:12Number three.
43:22Keeping the fuss.
43:22A lot of fuss about nothing.
43:25A lot of fuss about a smash.
43:27Pass.
43:29Number two.
43:29The plot thickens.
43:37The plot spirals.
43:42A spiral plot.
43:44Complicated plot.
43:45The plot turns into a spiral.
43:47The plot thickens.
43:49Pass.
43:50Number five.
43:51House party.
43:58Correct.
43:58Next.
43:59Number eight.
43:59Oh, we're out of time.
44:002,500 pounds.
44:02Bill.
44:03Listen, Bill.
44:04Sorry.
44:05Listen, you've got nothing to apologise for, Bill.
44:06That super cat trade is harder than people realise.
44:09Now, let's have a little look at the ones that you did parcel, because I know you like to play along at home.
44:13Did you get these ones right?
44:15First of all, number four.
44:17Bill, that was the Golden Globes.
44:20I thought you'd get that one.
44:21I didn't know what the Golden Globes was.
44:22Yeah.
44:23Now, let's go to number three now, please.
44:28And there's the clue, look.
44:30He's kicking up a fuss.
44:32Oh, right.
44:33Number two as well.
44:35Got to go to number two.
44:36That was plot twist.
44:37Merry Christmas to you, too.
44:39But listen, don't worry about those, because you are taking away that 5,500 pounds that you won earlier on.
44:45Now, that 2,500 pounds.
44:46So, Bill, for your charity, this is great.
44:49You're taking away 8,000 pounds.
44:51Mel and Vanessa, get in here.
44:54Oh, look.
44:54Come on, Vanessa.
44:56Can you believe this?
44:58Well done.
44:59Merry Christmas.
45:00Love of Bailey's at Christmas.
45:01Oh, well.
45:01Come on.
45:03Listen, Mel, you are taking away 3,100 pounds.
45:06Vanessa, you are taking away 2,200 pounds.
45:09Which means tonight, between the three of you, for charity, you have raised 13,300 pounds.
45:15Come on, that's weird.
45:16And let's have another name check for you.
45:18All important charities, go on.
45:19Insulate Ukraine, who are in partnership with UK charity Paddy Accelerator.
45:23Great.
45:24Vanessa?
45:24Trustees of the London Clinic Limited.
45:26Beautiful.
45:27And the champion?
45:28Winston's Wish.
45:29How about that?
45:30What a night, and what a show we're going to remember for a long time.
45:32Thank you, by the way, as always, for joining us.
45:34And we'll see you next time for more Catch Phase.
