00:14CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:20Hello, I'm Ramesh Ranganathan, and welcome to this special Christmas edition of Parents Evening,
00:32the show where celebs team up with their parents and kids to win money for charity.
00:36I love Christmas. My family actually call me Santa, because they only ever see me once a year.
00:41Playing tonight, we have got comedian Josh Whittaker and his dad, Tom.
00:45And also here tonight is my mum, Shanthi Ranganathan.
01:02Mum has been dropping hints about what she wants for Christmas, but I'm not going to get a divorce and then marry a Sri Lankan woman. Sorry.
01:10Mum has been researching all of tonight's guests, and she comes up with searching difficult questions,
01:14like when she asked Lisa's parents why their turkey is so bland.
01:18You should try adding spices. Mum, what is something you found out for us today about our guests?
01:24One of our guests gave a life-size photo themselves as a Christmas gift.
01:32Oh.
01:35What kind of narcissistic prick would give a life-size poster of themselves as a Christmas gift?
01:42Who was it?
01:43Ah.
01:48So, who was the life-size photo of you for?
01:51My mum, it turned out.
01:52Yeah, exactly.
01:55Yeah, we still laugh about that one.
01:58Mum, who would you like a life-size photo of?
02:00You.
02:02I love that one.
02:04Will you give me one?
02:04I will, if it means I don't have to see you face-to-face.
02:09Good luck tonight, everybody. Let's play Parents' Evening.
02:16Parents, you have to bid on how many questions out of ten you think your child can guess right in a particular category.
02:22Whoever's mum or dad bids the highest will have to play.
02:25Meet the target, you get £100 for each correct answer.
02:28But, if you fall short, that money is split between the others instead.
02:33And to stop them influencing your bids, we're going to put your kids on the naughty step three feet behind you.
02:37So, Josh, Watsy and George, let's get you set for tonight's first question.
02:41Our first question is all about Christmas films.
02:51You are going to have to identify Christmas films based on the user review written on Letterboxd.
02:56We've actually got some reviews here of you guys.
03:00This is from the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special.
03:02This says, protect Larry Lamb, all costs.
03:04Five stars.
03:05It's nice, isn't it?
03:06I agree with that completely.
03:08Yeah, absolutely.
03:09This is from Josh's stand-up special.
03:11I love Josh, but his voice really gets on my nerves.
03:20Three stars?
03:21Yeah.
03:23That's not...
03:23You don't love someone and then give them...
03:25I'll be honest, I'm listening now, they are right about my voice.
03:27Yeah, I mean, I was going to say, even in that, it is quite irritating.
03:31This is from my stand-up special.
03:34Came for Ramesh, stayed for Shanthi.
03:35Five stars.
03:38Oh, well done on putting your own five-star review on TV.
03:40Well done, Ramesh.
03:41Doodoo, do you watch films at Christmas?
03:45Yes.
03:45Do you watch the Strictly Christmas special?
03:47No.
03:48No.
03:48No.
03:49No, no, I get it, I get it.
03:50Why would you?
03:51I mean, it's not even the proper Strictly, though, is it?
03:52It's just Josh dressed as a penguin looking like a twat.
03:53No.
03:54He was great, though.
03:55He was great.
03:56He was great.
03:57He was great.
03:58He did a good job.
03:59Moxie gave me a nine.
03:59Moxie gave me a nine.
04:00Yeah.
04:01And it was sincere.
04:02It was like...
04:03I thought it was sincere until you said that.
04:04No!
04:05No!
04:06No!
04:07Josh, your face in that photo.
04:08It looks like it's the first time you've been allowed outside.
04:11Just, I'm so delighted to be a penguin.
04:12Oh, so it's a good voice when you do it.
04:13Is that okay?
04:14I used it on my stand-up special.
04:15You should have watched it five stars.
04:16OK.
04:17Parents, it is time to bid.
04:18Now, when Mum tried this earlier, she scored zero.
04:19Yeah.
04:20It's true.
04:21Tom, you're going to be open.
04:22No.
04:23No.
04:24No.
04:25No.
04:26No.
04:27No.
04:28No.
04:29No.
04:30No.
04:31No.
04:32No.
04:33No.
04:34No.
04:35No.
04:36No.
04:37No.
04:38No.
04:39No.
04:40No.
04:41No.
04:42No.
04:43No.
04:44No.
04:45No.
04:46No.
04:47Tom, you're going to be opening the bids.
04:49How many do you think Josh can get?
04:51I reckon he'll get at least three.
04:55Three.
04:56OK.
04:57Do-do, do you think Motsy can get more than three?
04:59I'll...
05:00I'll...
05:01Larry, do you think George can get more than three?
05:06Yeah, I'll go for four.
05:08Four.
05:09OK.
05:10Tom?
05:11Yeah, I'll go five.
05:13OK.
05:14Nice.
05:15Larry, Tom's very confidently said five.
05:17What do you think?
05:18I'm out.
05:19Oh.
05:20That means playing for £500 is Josh!
05:32Hello, Josh.
05:33Hello, Romesh.
05:34OK.
05:35Out of ten, your dad thinks you can guess five Christmas movies
05:37from their review on Letterboxd.
05:39You can give multiple guesses.
05:40Yeah.
05:41You can pass as many times as you want, but you only have 90 seconds.
05:44Cool.
05:45Mum's going to be timing the round.
05:46I would.
05:4790 seconds, Josh.
05:48You've got five to get.
05:49Good luck.
05:50Off you go.
05:51Home Alone.
05:52A small child and a duo of criminals attempt to brutally murder each other.
05:55Home Alone.
05:56Four and a half stars.
05:57It's correct.
05:58Well done.
06:00Tough Actually.
06:01Two stars.
06:02Love Actually.
06:03It is Love Actually.
06:04It's a wonderful movie.
06:05It's a wonderful movie.
06:06Five stars.
06:07It's absolutely correct.
06:09Who has taken care of Jude Law's children while he's having bad sex with Cameron Diaz?
06:12The Holiday.
06:13Three stars.
06:14It is The Holiday.
06:15Well done.
06:16He's got one to get.
06:17Tim Allen kills Santa Claus and takes his job.
06:19Three stars.
06:20The Santa Claus.
06:21It is The Santa Claus.
06:22Josh Winnegan.
06:23Oh my God.
06:24Come on.
06:25Yes, Josh.
06:26Yes.
06:27You scored five winning.
06:28Give it back to Josh.
06:29Give it back to Josh.
06:38Josh, incredible work.
06:39Was that celebration proportionate to naming five Christmas movies?
06:42I think it's up to you to decide.
06:44What's your favourite Christmas film, Mum?
06:46Home Alone.
06:47What about Love Actually?
06:49Love Actually?
06:50What is that?
06:51You know the film where Hugh Grant is the Prime Minister?
06:55I don't like Hugh Grant.
07:01Why don't you like Hugh Grant?
07:02It's very rude.
07:06He can be popular, but he should learn manners.
07:09Mum?
07:10Mum?
07:11It's for you as well.
07:12For me?
07:13At last.
07:14Someone is standing up to him.
07:15Yes.
07:16Yes, Mummy.
07:17Thank you, darling.
07:19I love your dance.
07:20OK.
07:21Josh, Motsi and George, let's get you set for your next question.
07:33OK.
07:34This time your question is all about chocolate.
07:35Oh.
07:36Sometimes people aren't sure whether a chocolate is vegan or not.
07:37The rule I use is if you're enjoying it, it's not vegan.
07:39What you're going to have to do for this one is you have to name the chocolate bar represented
07:40by the picture.
07:41For example, this one, Mum.
07:42What chocolate is that?
07:43Lion bar?
07:44Lion bar?
07:45Lion bar.
07:46It's absolutely right.
07:47Yeah, I mean, to be fair, you just had to say what's in the picture.
07:49It's a big face.
07:50How can I miss it?
07:51OK.
07:52Parents, it's time to bid.
07:53Now, when Mum tried this earlier, she scored two.
07:54Du-du, you're going to be opening the bids.
07:55How many do you think Motsi can get?
07:56Two.
07:57OK.
07:58Larry, D-du's bid two.
07:59How many do you think George can get?
08:00How many do you think George can get?
08:01You don't have to do for this one, it's right.
08:02So, what you don't have to do for this one is you have to name the chocolate bar represented
08:06by the picture.
08:07For example, this one, Mum.
08:08What chocolate is that?
08:09Lion bar?
08:10Lion bar?
08:11Lion bar.
08:12Lion bar.
08:13It's absolutely right.
08:14Yeah, I mean, to be fair, you just had to say what's in the picture.
08:19Okay.
08:20Careers, it's time to bid.
08:21How many do you think George can get?
08:23Five.
08:24Five!
08:25Oh, yeah!
08:26Come on!
08:27APPLAUSE
08:29Tom.
08:31I'll go six.
08:33OK.
08:35Doo-doo, six is the bid to be.
08:37No? I'm out.
08:38You're out. OK, fair enough.
08:40Larry.
08:42Seven.
08:43Oh, OK.
08:44I like this. OK, Tom.
08:46This is a battle now.
08:47I'm out.
08:48No!
08:49LAUGHTER
08:51So that means playing for £700, it's George!
08:56CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
09:00Hello, George. How are you?
09:02I'm very well. How are you?
09:03I'm good. I've suddenly felt a lot less attractive.
09:06OK, so how do you feel about this round?
09:09I like chocolate a lot.
09:11Yeah.
09:12But, yeah, I feel confident.
09:13Oh, God.
09:14When you looked at me and said I like chocolate a lot,
09:16I felt...
09:17LAUGHTER
09:18LAUGHTER
09:19OK, so...
09:20OK, so...
09:21Your dad thinks you can name seven chocolates from the ten clues provided.
09:23OK.
09:24George, good luck to you, off you go.
09:25You've got seven to get.
09:26What chocolate is this?
09:27Picnic.
09:28Is correct.
09:29WHISPER.
09:30WHISPER is correct.
09:31What's this one?
09:32Yorkie.
09:33Is correct.
09:34WHISPER.
09:35What chocolate is this?
09:36Picnic.
09:37Is correct.
09:38WHISPER.
09:39WHISPER is correct.
09:40What's this one?
09:41Yorkie.
09:42Is correct.
09:43What's this one?
09:44Uh...
09:45Pass.
09:46What is that?
09:47OK, let's look at the next one.
09:48What's this one?
09:49Planet.
09:50No, that's Planet.
09:51That's Earth.
09:52We don't have a pick.
09:53We don't have a chocolate called Planet or Earth.
09:54Moon.
09:55Milky...
09:56Milky Way.
09:57What is the chocolate bar called that's got something to do with the moon?
09:58Well, I can't give any options.
09:59I'd love to.
10:00Yeah?
10:01Pass.
10:02Pass.
10:03Pass.
10:04It's a dime bar.
10:05Yes, correct.
10:06Yeah.
10:07OK, let's go to the next one.

10:34Yeah, next one.
10:35OK, pass.
10:36What's this one?
10:38It's a bus going to South London.
10:41It's a red bus.
10:44Yeah.
10:45Big bus.
10:46It's a metro line by Double Decker.
10:48Yes!

10:57Congratulations to you, sports.
10:58Everybody's up on the bus.
10:59Give it up for George!
11:00Oh!
11:01That was exhilarating.
11:02Larry, what did you think of George's performance there?
11:03Sweet.
11:04There's three questions you missed, George.
11:05Let's have a look.
11:06There's this one.
11:07Anybody got any ideas?
11:08Time out?
11:09It is time out, yeah.
11:10I thought it was ripped bastard.
11:11But it's not.
11:12Let's have a look at the next one.
11:13That is...
11:14Mercury bar.
11:15Mars!
11:16Oh my God!
11:17Mars!
11:18Here we go.
11:19What planet is a chocolate bar?
11:20Okay, this one.
11:21This is a tough one.

11:32What a performance.
11:33All right, Mum, the two questions in.
11:34What are the scores, please?
11:35And give it a bit of drama.
11:36A little bit of Christmas.

11:46What are the scores, please?
11:47And give it a bit of drama, a little bit of Christmas.
11:50Like, want it, how do you want me to say it?
11:53Like, just give it a little bit of body movement.
11:54You know, something like, you got this and you got that, and we're done.
11:58Good luck to you.
11:59Motsi and Dudu.
12:00Yeah?
12:01Nothing at the moment, but you're going to get to the movie.
12:05Yeah.
12:06but you will get some more.
12:08I'm sorry.
12:11Josh and Tom, £500.
12:17Wow, wow, wow.
12:19Josh and Larry, £700.
12:24Well done, guys. Time for a break now.
12:26Remember, family is the greatest gift,
12:28unless they got you a PlayStation.
12:30See you in a bed.
12:36APPLAUSE
12:45Welcome back to Parents' Evening.
12:47Kids, remember, you can't influence your parents during these questions,
12:50so once again, let's get set for our next one.
12:59This time, your question is all about board games.
13:03What you're going to have to do is name the board game
13:05from its official tagline.
13:07For example, skill game where you're the doctor.
13:10What board game is that?
13:12I haven't got a clue.
13:14LAUGHTER
13:15OK, it's not.
13:16That does sound like a board game, but that's not the correct answer.
13:18Yeah.
13:19It's actually Operation.
13:20It's a great game, slightly more difficult to play nowadays
13:22because of NHS waiting times.
13:24LAUGHTER
13:26Larry, do you think George will be any good at this?
13:28Yeah.
13:29Is he competitive when you're playing board games?
13:30Very.
13:31Very, OK.
13:32Yeah, it gets competitive at our house, doesn't it, Mum?
13:34Come over every Christmas, play a bit of Uno.
13:36I'm rubbish at it.
13:37Yeah.
13:38Well, you don't know that every year...
13:39You always mention I haven't improved at all.
13:42So why don't you teach me how to play?
13:44Mum, I teach you every year.
13:46Every?
13:47Every year.
13:48I say to you, this is safe.
13:49You walk me around.
13:50I'm just going to watch a couple of games
13:51because I can't get my head around it.
13:53Yeah.
13:54And then you go, should I put a two down?
13:55No, you can't put a two down!
13:57You cannot have anything I tell you!
13:59How can I learn like that?
14:01This is what I said, you should learn manners.
14:07It's so evening.
14:09Yeah.
14:10OK, parents, it is time to bid.
14:13When Mum tried this earlier, she scored zero.
14:16OK, Larry, you're going to be opening the bids.
14:19Six.
14:20How many of these do you think George can get?
14:23Five.
14:25That is a great opening bid.
14:27Tom?
14:28Six.
14:29You!
14:30OK, Dudu?
14:31What do you say?
14:32You see, these gentlemen, they know that my child can get more,
14:37so they say...
14:39So I'm going out.
14:41You're out!
14:42LAUGHTER
14:44That is one of the most incredible justifications I've ever heard.
14:49Yeah.
14:50These gentlemen know my child can get more, so I'm out.
14:53LAUGHTER
14:55OK, Larry, it's six to beat.
14:58What do you think?
14:59Seven.
15:00Ooh!
15:01What the fuck?
15:02What the fuck?
15:03It's a bit of seven to beat.
15:08You seem quite stressed out.
15:09What's wrong?
15:10That's very edgy, isn't it?
15:12LAUGHTER
15:19I'll go eight.
15:26This is, this is great gaming.
15:28OK, Larry.
15:30Thomas bid eight.
15:31Do you want to push him further?
15:37Nine.
15:38LAUGHTER
15:41OK, Tom.
15:43I'm out.
15:44LAUGHTER
15:45That means that playing for £900, it's George!
15:49CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
15:51CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
15:58Um...
15:59So, out of ten, your dad thinks he can name nine board games
16:01from their slogan.

16:03I'm ready.
16:04OK, let's go.
16:05Good luck.

16:43APPLAUSE
16:44The original guessing game.
16:45Guess who.
16:46Is correct.
16:47You're flying.
16:48Your life, your way.
16:49Your life, your way.
16:50Your life, your way.
16:54Nope.
16:55I don't know what that is.
16:56Pass.
16:57OK, next one.
16:58The classic barrel of laughs for all the families.
17:01Eh...
17:02I don't know.
17:03OK.
17:04Do you want to pass and come back to that one?
17:05Pass, pass, pass.
17:06OK, let's have a look at the next one.
17:07The saddle stacking game with a moody mule.
17:11Ah...
17:12Buckaroo.
17:13Is correct.
17:14OK, we've got two to make.
17:16Game of quick draw.
17:22Two left to get.
17:23That kind of thing.
17:24Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
17:25I don't know.
17:26What kind of draw is that?
17:27Well, I can give you nothing beyond that.
17:29What's the next one?
17:30The other one?
17:31Let's have a look at the next one.
17:32Your life, your way.
17:37Bad luck.
17:38You couldn't reach nine, which means the money is getting split between the others.
17:40Let's hear it for George.
17:42The game of quick draw is Pictionary.
17:43Oh.
17:44Yeah.
17:45Your life, your way.
17:46It's probably the toughest one.
17:47It's the game of life.
17:48No.
17:49And the last one, the classic barrel of last for all the family.
17:51Josh, you got any idea?
17:52It's that one where you put the things on and the guy pops out the barrel.
17:55Yes.
17:56Pop-up pirates.
17:57Pop-up pirates.
17:58Wow.
17:59OK, Mum, can you tell me?
18:00Of course I can.
18:01A little bit of Christmas pizazz, please.
18:02Of course I can.
18:03A little bit of Christmas pizazz, please, if you don't mind.
18:04Motsi and doo-doo.
18:05Yes.
18:06450 pounds.
18:07Yay!
18:08George and Larry, 700 pounds.
18:10Woo!
18:11Woo!
18:12Woo!
18:13Woo!
18:14Woo!
18:15Woo!
18:16Woo!
18:17Woo!
18:18Woo!
18:19Woo!
18:20Woo!
18:21Woo!
18:22Woo!
18:23Woo!
18:24Woo!
18:25Woo!
18:26Woo!
18:27Woo!
18:28Woo!
18:29Woo!
18:30Woo!
18:31Woo!
18:33Woo!
18:34Woo!
18:35Woo!
18:36So basically, Motsi and Duda, you benefited from Larry sort of getting overexcited with beans, as you're saying, Larry.
18:45We're happy. We're happy about that.
18:47OK. From this point, you will not be given any clues, OK?
18:50Instead, you'll be given a category, and you have to list as many correct answers as you can in that category.
18:55Plus, every correct answer is now worth £200.
18:59Ooh!
19:00Because there's nothing more Christmas-y than suddenly everything being twice the price.
19:04So, Josh, Motsi and George, let's get you set for the next question.
19:14Your next category is Christmas dinner.
19:18You have to guess all the components of the traditional Christmas dinner at Wetherspoon.
19:23By the way, just so you know, from this point on, if any of you say an answer before the game begins,
19:28it will be considered cheating, I'm afraid.
19:30In which case, the answer will be removed, and I'll take £100 off your total.
19:34And I might take away £100 if Josh says anything, because he really is bringing out my inner bully.
19:38LAUGHTER
19:40Dudu, what's a South African Christmas meal like?
19:42South Africa is...
19:44It's summer.
19:46Because in summer, you stay outside, we do brides.
19:50And when I get here in Europe, Christmas was inside.
19:56LAUGHTER
19:57It's cold. It's different, isn't it?
19:59I mean, that's a really nice way of saying Christmas here is shit.
20:02LAUGHTER
20:06Dudu, Motsi has not played yet, because your favourite phrase tonight has been,
20:11I'm out.
20:12LAUGHTER
20:13Do you think this might be the one that she could step up?
20:15Yes. Yes.
20:16OK, well, let's see.
20:17Parents, it's time to bid.
20:21When Mum tried this earlier, she scored five.
20:23APPLAUSE
20:31OK, it's not that much of a flex.
20:33All right, Tom, it's your turn to bid first.
20:36How many do you think Josh can get?
20:38Four.
20:39Four.
20:40Dudu, what are you thinking?
20:41I'm out.
20:42LAUGHTER
20:44Is it right, have you flown all the way from South Africa to play this tonight?
20:56Yes.
20:57OK.
20:58And you just don't want Motsi to get involved at all?
21:00No, I understand.
21:03Larry, Tom's bid four, what do you think?
21:06Five.
21:07Five, OK.
21:08Could this be another duel again? Tom?
21:10Six.
21:11Oh.
21:12Larry?
21:15I'm out.
21:18OK, well, that means that playing for £1200 is Josh!
21:29So, your dad thinks you can name six savouring components
21:32that are listed in the traditional Christmas dinner at JD Wetherspin,
21:34otherwise known as spoons.
21:36Multiple guesses are allowed, but if you take too long
21:38without giving a correct answer, you will time out.
21:41OK.
21:42Off you go.
21:43OK.
21:44Turkey.
21:45It's there.
21:46Gravy.
21:48Gravy, sir.
21:49Carrots.
21:50Stuffing.
21:51Carrots is there, yeah.
21:52Er, potatoes.
21:53We need more specific than that.
21:55Roast potatoes.
21:56No.
21:57Boiled potatoes.
21:58No.
21:59Mashed potatoes?
22:00Yes.
22:01I thought the same.
22:02I thought the same.
22:03I thought the same.
22:04Bread sauce.
22:05Er, sprouts.
22:06No.
22:07No.
22:08Carrots.
22:09Chicken.
22:10Beef.
22:11Um.
22:12Oh, God.
22:13Stuffing.
22:14No.
22:15No.
22:16No.
22:17No.
22:18No.
22:19No.
22:20No.
22:21No.
22:22No.
22:23No.
22:24No.
22:25No.
22:26What was it?
22:27I'm so sorry.
22:28Bad luck.
22:29The money's getting split between the others.
22:30Oh.
22:31Give it up for Josh.
22:33That was tough.
22:38What would you have gone for?
22:39OK.
22:40This is the full list.
22:42And I think you'll find it pretty offensive.
22:45Oh.
22:46Oh.
22:47Do you know what?
22:48I don't hate myself after that.
22:50First of all, can I just say, pigs in blankets.
22:53Getting a bit of pig, then wrapping it in a bit of pig.
22:56I mean, you're absolutely taking the piss there.
22:58Motsi, how are you feeling about not being put up for any of the rounds so far?
23:02I feel the ambitious person in myself is screaming.
23:05Yeah.
23:06Yeah.
23:07But on the other side, I'm just like, you know, she protects me, I protect her.
23:12You guys are serving.
23:13LAUGHTER
23:14No problem, girls!
23:16Woo!
23:20OK, Mum, what's that done to the scores, please?
23:23Josh and Tom.
23:24Oh.
23:25£950, because you know why.
23:30Motsi and Dudu.
23:32£1,055!
23:33Wow!
23:34I'd love it if the first time Motsi had to answer was in the final.
23:41LAUGHTER
23:42And George and Larry, £1,300, guys!
23:47CHEERING
23:49OK, it's time for a festive break, which in my house means Lisa asking me to sleep in the garage.
23:54See you in a bit.
23:55LAUGHTER
24:09Welcome back to the parents' evening Christmas special, proving family is a gift, but it's still worth keeping the receipt.
24:16OK, Josh, Motsi and George, let's get you set for your next question.
24:19APPLAUSE
24:26Your next category is greetings cards.
24:29Oh!
24:30You're going to have to name the themes for cards available at Card Factory.
24:33Larry, who's a better gifter, you or George?
24:36Bear in mind you give gifts of yourself, but...
24:39Well, you know, it's certainly not me.
24:41I'm rather renowned in the family as spending 73 years getting a present for George that was right.
24:51But, of course, you know...
24:52I'm 45.
24:53I know.
24:54LAUGHTER
24:56APPLAUSE
24:58I was 73, so it was 41 years in getting him a birthday to get him a present that was right.
25:11LAUGHTER
25:12Unfortunately, you've said one of the answers.
25:14Oh!
25:15Which means I've got to take £100 off...
25:17No!
25:18No!
25:19Do you mean no?
25:20That's the rules of the game.
25:21He said birthday.
25:23Tom, was Josh very grateful for the gifts he received?
25:26Oh, I don't know.
25:28I don't know.
25:29Why?
25:30Because you didn't give him any?
25:31Well, we don't show a lot of emotion in our family, Romesh.
25:34Oh, really?
25:35LAUGHTER
25:36How often do you tell Josh you love him?
25:39Er...
25:40I don't think I've ever told him that.
25:42LAUGHTER
25:43I'm going to be honest with you, Tom.
25:45I know it's weird, but I'm on your side.
25:47LAUGHTER
25:51OK, parents, it's time to bid.
25:53When Mum tried this earlier, she scored six.
25:57Ooh!
25:58Ooh!
25:59Doodoo, you're going to be opening the bids.
26:01Yes.
26:02How many do you think Motsy can get?
26:04Three.
26:05Three?
26:06Yes.
26:07OK.
26:08CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
26:10Larry?
26:12Four.
26:13Four.
26:14Tom, what are you thinking?
26:15Five.
26:16Doodoo?
26:17Out.
26:18I'm out.
26:19You're out.
26:20LAUGHTER
26:25Larry, five is the bid to beat.
26:27I'll go six.
26:28Six.
26:29Tom?
26:30I never thought you'd be like this, Larry.
26:32LAUGHTER
26:39I had a whole different impression of what you were like.
26:42LAUGHTER
26:43Tom, what did you think he was like? How has he differed?
26:45I thought he'd be like that guy off Gavin and Stacey.
26:48LAUGHTER
26:57What are you thinking, then, Tom?
26:58I'll go seven.
26:59OK.
27:00Two.
27:01Larry?
27:02I'll go eight.
27:03Oh!
27:04Ooh!
27:05Tom!
27:07LAUGHTER
27:08Um, nine.
27:09Nine!
27:10CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
27:11Larry?
27:12Tom didn't think you were going to be like this.
27:13LAUGHTER
27:14Ten.
27:15Ten?
27:16OK.
27:17APPLAUSE
27:18Tom?
27:19I'm, er...
27:20I'm going to go eleven.
27:21CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
27:22OK, Larry, the bid is currently at eleven.
27:25Um...
27:26I'm out.
27:27You are out.
27:28APPLAUSE
27:29OK.
27:30That means that playing for £2,200 is John!
27:31OK.
27:32OK.
27:33That means that playing for £2,200 is John!
27:34OK.
27:35OK.
27:36OK.
27:37OK.

27:43OK.
27:44OK.
27:45OK.
27:46OK.
27:47OK.
27:48OK.
27:49OK.
27:50OK.
27:51OK.
27:52OK.
27:53Boy, the Color�데, we will bet £2,200 is John!
27:56APPLAUSE
28:03OK.
28:04Josh, you're really keen for your dad to push up the bids,mo you?
28:06I'll be honest, I never thought I'd see my dad in a dick-swinging contest with Larry Laugh.
28:12So, your dad thinks he can name eleven reasons for giving someone a card according to the card factory.
28:17Multiple guesses are allowed, but if you take too long without giving a correct answer, you will time out.
28:21We need 11. OK, good luck to you, Josh.
28:24Thank you. Off you go, whenever you're ready.
28:26Valentine's Day.
28:27Valentine's is up there.

28:58And, um, condolences.
29:01I'll accept that. It's sympathy. Well done, Josh.
29:04CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
29:07Congratulations, Josh. You scored 11. Winning you $2,200.
29:11Give it up for Josh.
29:19Tom, that must make you feel like you really, really love Josh.
29:22I'm really proud of him and I love him really a lot.
29:25Oh!
29:26CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
29:32Happy Christmas.
29:34LAUGHTER
29:35OK, let's have a look at the full list. There we go.
29:37Father's Day. Wow. Father's Day, Mother's Day.
29:41Motsu, do you think you could have got more than Josh?
29:43Or do you think you could have done that?
29:44Well, 11 not, but, uh, yeah, baby shower, Mother's Day,
29:49Father's Day, congratulations.
29:52Yeah, I mean, you're reading them.
29:53Yeah, yeah!
29:54CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
29:55What about you, George?
29:56I could have got more. Yeah? Yeah.
29:59You could have got more. Yeah.
30:00LAUGHTER
30:01I think this is... I actually think this is quite an easy one.
30:04Right. Although I'm the guy who didn't get miles when I was looking at...
30:07LAUGHTER
30:09OK, Mum, what has that done to the scores, please?
30:11I'm excited.
30:13Let me read it for you.
30:15Yeah?
30:16LAUGHTER
30:19I mean, I'll be honest with you, Mum,
30:21I don't really like the way you said that.
30:23That's...
30:24We love it, Mum. Thank you, thank you.
30:26Let me read it for you.
30:28Let me read it for you.

31:08This question is all about festive football birds.
31:11What this is, is you're going to have to list the birds
31:13that have appeared on the badges of Premier League football teams
31:16past and present.
31:17Dudu, does Motsy like football?
31:20Yes.
31:22LAUGHTER
31:26OK, parents, it's time to bid.
31:30So, when Mum tried this earlier, she scored one.
31:34Larry, how many do you think George can get?
31:37Two.

32:22Oh, my God!
32:25This is the best possible result we could have hoped for.
32:33Merry Christmas, everybody.
32:35Playing for the first time for £800, it's Motsy!
32:45What's this?
32:48Five birds!
32:50Birds!
32:51Motsy, what's your knowledge of football badge birds?
32:53No, zero!
32:54OK.
32:56You've only got to get four.
32:57OK.
32:58OK.
32:59Look, what I'm going to say, if you do get four, the roof is going to come off this.
33:03So your mum thinks that you can name four birds that have featured, or still do feature,
33:08Are the badges of football teams that have played in the Premier League?
33:12Motsy, are you ready?
33:14I have no choice.
33:15OK.

33:18Motsy, good luck.

38:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
38:16George, how do you feel it went for you tonight?
38:18Dad's been kicking himself the whole way about the whole greeting card thing.
38:19You know what I mean?
38:20That's the last ten minutes.
38:21He's like, you could have done much better than that.
38:22You know?
38:23Motsi, how do you feel the game went for you tonight?
38:24I think we did well.
38:25Yeah.
38:26We connected.
38:27Yeah.
38:28Yeah.
38:29Yeah.
38:30And I'm proud of her.
38:31She came all the way from Africa for you.
38:32Yes.
38:33APPLAUSE
38:34We have got to take a break now.
38:35Join us in a bit to see if Josh and Tom can double their money in our final round.
38:38I'm very tense, because if they win it, we can only afford one car for me and Mum to share home.
38:39You know what I mean?
38:40That's the last ten minutes.
38:41He's like, you could have done much better than that.
38:42LAUGHTER
38:43Motsi, how do you feel the game went for you tonight?
38:45I think we did well.
38:46Yeah.
38:47We connected.
38:48Yeah.
38:49Yeah.
38:50And I'm proud of her.
38:51She came all the way from Africa for you.
38:53Yes.
38:54APPLAUSE
38:55We have got to take a break now.
39:00Join us in a bit to see if Josh and Tom can double their money in our final round.
39:04I'm very tense, because if they win it, we can only afford one car for me and Mum to share home.
39:07What a nightmare.
39:08See you in a bit, guys.
39:09APPLAUSE
39:25Welcome back to the Parents' Evening Christmas Special, where some parents are so disappointed
39:29in their offspring, you'd have thought they'd have married Meghan Markle.
39:32LAUGHTER
39:34Josh and Tom are making it through to the final.
39:36You have secured your prize for charity.
39:37How much have they made, Mum?
39:39£4,750.
39:40Nice.
39:41APPLAUSE
39:43But, succeeding this round, we will double that, bringing the total to what, Mum?
39:49£9,500.
39:50Wow!
39:51APPLAUSE
39:52Here is how it works.
39:53You're all going to see a board of 12 possible answers, but only five of them are correct.
40:02To double your jackpot, all you have to do is identify all five.
40:04If you pick three wrong answers, I'm afraid you lose the round, but you do leave with your
40:08original jackpot of £4,750.
40:11Tom, you are going to be picking the category.
40:14Your options are Christmas Carols, Winter Olympics and Christmas Adverts.
40:21What are you thinking?
40:22You know what?
40:23I'm going to go with Christmas Adverts.
40:25Christmas Adverts.
40:27Josh and Tom, for the last time, let's play Parents Evening.
40:32APPLAUSE
40:37APPLAUSE
40:40Josh, how happy are you with the category that your dad's chosen?
40:43I've chosen the same, but they're all tough.
40:46What you have to do is you've got to name five titles of John Lewis Christmas Adverts.
40:52OK?
40:53Here are the possible answers.
40:55The Owl and the Pussycat.
40:58The Bear and the Hare.
40:59The Ass and the Beaver.
41:01Monty the Python.
41:03Moz the Monster.
41:04Romesh the Reindeer.
41:06The Space Oddity.
41:09The Lightning Rod.
41:10The Man on the Moon.
41:12Buster the Boxer.
41:14The Red Herring.
41:16And Edgar the Dragon.
41:18OK, so five of those are titles of John Lewis Adverts and seven aren't.
41:23When you're ready, give me your first answer.
41:25I'm presuming you know none of them?
41:27You're correct.
41:28LAUGHTER
41:29So, Josh, what are you thinking?
41:34I remember the bear and the hare.
41:35That's a bear that's asleep in a cave and the hare buys it an alarm clock and Lily Allen's the music.
41:48The bear and the hare.
41:49Let's lock that in.
41:50Is that a Christmas ad?
41:52Oh.
41:53That is correct.
41:54APPLAUSE
41:55Well done.
41:56What are you going for next?
41:57Any ones that you're certain of?
41:58Yeah.
41:59I remember Moz the Monster being on sale in John the Lewis.
42:01John the Lewis.
42:02LAUGHTER
42:03That's what you call it when you come into money.
42:04LAUGHTER
42:05I'll just pop it over to John the Lewis.
42:07LAUGHTER
42:08So, Moz the Monster was in John the Lewis.
42:23OK, let's lock in Moz the Monster.
42:26Was Moz the Monster a Christmas ad?
42:28Yes, it was.
42:32APPLAUSE
42:35You have got three to get.
42:37There was a weird bloke on the moon with a telescope.
42:40Do you remember him?
42:41He was quite creepy.
42:42LAUGHTER
42:43Man on the Moon.
42:44OK.
42:45I think that must be that one.
42:46Tom, you agree with that?
42:47Totally.
42:48Yeah.
42:49Let's lock in the Man on the Moon.
42:51Is the Man on the Moon a genuine John Lewis Christmas ad?
42:57It is!
42:58Well done.
42:59APPLAUSE
43:00OK, two to get.
43:04Yeah, I think there's one about a boxer dog
43:06that wants to play on the trampoline.
43:09Mm-hm.
43:10So, I think that must be Buster the Boxer.
43:12OK.
43:13Buster the Boxer.
43:14Let's lock that in.
43:15Is that a genuine Christmas ad?
43:20It is!
43:21APPLAUSE
43:22Right.
43:23Right, so...
43:24We know some of those aren't real.
43:26OK, so you're one away from doubling your jackpot here.
43:29Which are the ones you definitely are just out of the question?
43:32I don't the Owl and the Pussycat, because that's a children's story.
43:35So, Owl and the Pussycat's out.
43:36Ass and the Beaver, Romesh the Reindeer.
43:38Yeah.
43:39Monty the Python feels like a kind of copyright problem.
43:42Mm-hm.
43:43So, I don't think...
43:44So, I think it's one of the last four.
43:45Those bottom ones.
43:46So, Space Oddity...
43:47It's not going to be the Red Herring, because that's a joke in itself, right?
43:49Yeah.
43:50So, should we go with the Lightning Rod?
43:52Because I just don't think they'd make up the Lightning Rod.
43:55You want to go with the Lightning Rod?
43:56OK, let's lock in the Lightning Rod.
43:58If this is right, you're doubling your jackpot.
44:01I'm sorry, the Lightning Rod is, er...
44:14It's actually a manscaping style, according to Wilkinson Sword.
44:17LAUGHTER
44:19OK.
44:20So, you've got one wrong.
44:22Three wrong and you're out.
44:23What are you thinking now?
44:24Oh, suddenly Monty the Python's drawing me in.
44:27Mm.
44:28Is there only one more right answer here?
44:30There's only one more correct one, yeah.
44:33I think the dragon or the python.
44:36I agree.
44:38Monty the Python.
44:39OK, let's lock in Monty the Python.
44:42Is Monty the Python a genuine Christmas ad?
44:53Oh!
44:54I'm sorry, er, Monty the Penguin.
44:56Oh, it was, yeah.
44:57Whatever you choose now, you're either doubling or you're out, OK?
45:01OK.
45:02Because if it's right, you're doubling your jackpot.
45:03If it's wrong, you're out of the game, so...
45:05We took it to the edge.
45:06You took it right to the edge?
45:07Edgar the Dragon, then.
45:09Oh.
45:10I think it'll be Edgar the Dragon, Romesh.
45:12OK.
45:13Ooh.
45:14So, thank you, Tom.
45:15LAUGHTER
45:17Let's lock in Edgar the Dragon.
45:18Is Edgar the Dragon a genuine Christmas ad?
45:21For Christmas, come on.
