00:30Hello, I'm Ramesh Ranganathan, and welcome to this special Christmas edition of Parents Evening, the show where celebs team up with their parents and kids to win money for charity. I love Christmas. My family actually call me Santa, because they only ever see me once a year. Playing tonight, we have got comedian Josh Whittaker and his dad, Tom.
00:51And also here tonight is my mum, Shanti Ranganathan.
00:53Mum 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.
00:59Mum has been researching all of tonight's guests and she comes up with searching difficult questions like when she asked Lisa's parents why their turkey is so bland. You should try adding spices.
01:11Mum, what is something you found out for us today about our guests? One of our guests gave a life-size photo themselves as a Christmas gift.
01:19What kind of narcissistic prick would give a life-size poster of themselves? As a Christmas gift? Who was it?
01:25Ah.
01:26Ah.
01:27So, who was the plan of performing?
01:28Who was the plan of performing?
01:29Do you have any idea of a kind of clothes?
01:30No, no, no, no, no.
01:31No.
01:32No, no, no, it takes all of us.
01:33No, no, no.
01:34No, no.
01:35No, there's none.
01:36No, it's not.
01:37It's not so bad.
01:38No.
01:39No, there's a plan of performing.
01:40No, no, no, no.
01:41It's not so bad.
01:42You've got less on multiple jobs instead of $540,000.
01:46No, no, it's not so bad.
01:47Things are bad.
01:48No, there's nothing.
01:50No.
01:51What is something you found out for us today about our guests?
01:53One of our guests gave a life-size photo of themselves?
01:55life-size photo of you for?
01:57My mum, it turns out. Yeah, exactly.
02:00Yeah, we still laugh about that one.
02:03Mum, who would you like a life-size photo of?
02:06You. I love that one.
02:09Will you give me one?
02:10I will if it means I don't have to see you face-to-face.
02:14Good luck tonight, everybody. Let's play Parents' Evening.
02:21Parents, you have to bid on how many questions out of ten
02:24you think your child can guess right in a particular category.
02:27Whoever's mum or dad bids the highest will have to play.
02:30Meet the target, you get £100 for each correct answer.
02:33But if you fall short, that money is split between the others instead.
02:38And to stop them influencing your bids,
02:40we're going to put your kids on the naughty step three feet behind you.
02:43So, Josh, Wotsey and George, let's get you set for tonight's first question.
02:47Our first question is all about Christmas films.
02:56You are going to have to identify Christmas films
02:58based on the user review written on Letterboxd.
03:01We've actually got some reviews here of you guys.
03:04This is from the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special.
03:06This says, protect Larry Lamb, all costs. Five stars.
03:09It's nice, isn't it? I agree with that completely.
03:12Yeah, absolutely.
03:14This is from Josh's stand-up special.
03:16I love Josh, but his voice really gets on my nerves.
03:19LAUGHTER
03:25Three stars? Yeah.
03:27That's not... You don't love someone and then give...
03:30I'll be honest, I'm listening now, they are right above my voice.
03:33Yeah, I was going to say, even in that, it is quite irritating.
03:36This is from my stand-up special.
03:38Came for Romesh, stayed for Shanthi. Five stars.
03:41LAUGHTER
03:42Oh, well done on putting your own five-star review on TV.
03:45Well done, Romesh.
03:46LAUGHTER
03:47Do-do, do you watch films at Christmas?
03:49Yes.
03:50Do you watch the Strictly Christmas special?
03:52No.
03:53LAUGHTER
03:59No, no, I get it, I get it. Why would you?
04:01I mean, it's not even the proper Strictly, though, is it?
04:03It's just Josh dressed as a penguin looking like a twat.
04:05LAUGHTER
04:06He was great, though.
04:08LAUGHTER
04:09He was great.
04:14He did a good job.
04:15Yeah.
04:16Moxie gave me a nine.
04:17Yeah.
04:18And it was sincere.
04:19It was like...
04:20I thought it was sincere until you said that.
04:21Yeah.
04:22No!
04:23LAUGHTER
04:24Josh, see your face in that photo.
04:27It looks like it's the first time you've been allowed outside.
04:30LAUGHTER
04:31Just, I'm so delighted to be a penguin.
04:34LAUGHTER
04:35Oh, so it's a good voice when you do it.
04:37Is that OK?
04:38LAUGHTER
04:39I used up my stand-up special.
04:40You should have watched it five stars.
04:41LAUGHTER
04:43OK.
04:44Parents, it is time to bid.
04:47Now, when Mum tried this earlier, she scored zero.
04:51Yeah, it's true.
04:52Tom, you're going to be opening the bids.
04:54How many do you think Josh can get?
04:56I reckon he'll get at least three.
05:00Three.
05:01OK.
05:02Doodoo, do you think Moxie can get more than three?
05:05I would...
05:06LAUGHTER
05:09Larry, do you think George can get more than three?
05:13Yeah, I'll go for four.
05:14Four.
05:15OK.
05:16Tom?
05:17Yeah, I'll go five.
05:18OK, nice.
05:20Larry, Tom's very confidently said five.
05:22What do you think?
05:23I'm out.
05:24Oh.
05:25Oh!
05:26That means playing for £500 is Josh!
05:38Hello, Josh.
05:39Hello, Romesh.
05:40OK, out of ten, your dad thinks you can guess five Christmas movies
05:43from their review on Letterboxd.
05:45You can give multiple guesses.
05:46Yeah.
05:47You can pass as many times as you want, but you only have 90 seconds.
05:50Cool.
05:51You're timing the round.
05:52I would.
05:5390 seconds, Josh.
05:54You've got five to get.
05:55Good luck.
05:56Off you go.
05:58A small child and a duo of criminals attempt to brutally murder each other.
06:01Home Alone.
06:02Four and a half stars.
06:03It's correct.
06:04Well done.
06:05Duff Actually, two stars.
06:07Love Actually.
06:08It is Love Actually.
06:10It's a wonderful movie, five stars.
06:12It's a wonderful ride.
06:13It's absolutely correct.
06:15Who has taken care of Jude Law's children while he's having bad sex with Cameron Diaz?
06:18The Holiday.
06:19Three stars.
06:20It is the Holiday.
06:21Well done.
06:22You've scored once again.
06:23Tim Allen kills Santa Claus and takes his job.
06:25Three stars.
06:26The Santa Claus.
06:27It is the Santa Claus.
06:28Josh Rinnigan.
06:29Oh my God.
06:30Come on.
06:31Yes, Josh.
06:32Yes.
06:33You scored five.
06:34Winning your problem at the basket.
06:35Give it back for Josh.
06:44Josh, incredible work.
06:45Was that celebration proportionate to naming five Christmas movies?
06:48Up to you to decide.
06:50What's your favourite Christmas film, Mum?
06:52Home Alone.
06:53What about Love Actually?
06:54Love Actually?
06:55What is that?
06:56I never...
06:57You know the film where Hugh Grant is the Prime Minister?
07:00I don't like Hugh Grant.
07:02Why don't you like Hugh Grant?
07:04It's very rude.
07:08He can be popular.
07:09Yeah.
07:10But he should learn manners.
07:11Mum?
07:12Mum?
07:13Yes.
07:14It's for you as well.
07:15What?
07:16For me?
07:17Yes.
07:18Someone is standing up to him.
07:19Yes.
07:20Yes, Mummy.
07:21Thank you, darling.
07:23I love your dance.
07:24OK.
07:25Josh, Motsey and George, let's get you set for your next question.
07:47OK.
07:48This time your question is all about chocolate.
07:50Oh.
07:51Sometimes people aren't sure whether a chocolate is vegan or not.
07:53The rule I use is, if you're enjoying it, it's not vegan.
07:58What you're going to have to do for this one is you have to name
08:00the chocolate bar represented by the picture.
08:02For example, this one, Mum.
08:03What chocolate is that?
08:05Lion bar?
08:06Lion bar.
08:07It's absolutely right.
08:08Yeah, I mean, to be fair, you just have to say...
08:09It's a big face.
08:10How can I miss it?
08:11Yeah.
08:12OK.
08:13Parents, it's time to bid.
08:16Now, when Mum tried this earlier, she scored two.
08:19Dudu, you're going to be opening the bids.
08:21How many do you think Motsey can get?
08:24Two.
08:25OK, Larry, Dudu's bid two.
08:27How many do you think George can get?
08:28Five.
08:29Five!
08:30Oh, yeah!
08:31Come on!
08:35Tom.
08:37I'll go six.
08:38OK.
08:39Yay!
08:40Dudu, six is the bid to bid.
08:42No?
08:43I'm out.
08:44OK.
08:45Fair enough.
08:46Larry.
08:47Seven.
08:48Oh!
08:49OK.
08:50I like this.
08:51OK, Tom.
08:52This is a battle now.
08:53I'm out.
08:54Oh.
08:55No!
08:57So that means, playing for £700, it's George!
09:06Hello, George.
09:07How are you?
09:08I'm very well.
09:09I'm good.
09:10I've suddenly felt a lot less attractive.
09:12OK, so how do you feel about this round?
09:15I like chocolate a lot.
09:16Yeah.
09:17But, yeah, I feel confident.
09:19Oh, God.
09:20When you looked at me and said I like chocolate a lot, I felt something.
09:22Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:23LAUGHTER
09:24Do you know what I feel about?
09:25Yeah.
09:26Do you know what I feel about?
09:27I could be that chocolate, George, if you're honest.
09:30LAUGHTER
09:31OK, so, your dad thinks he can name seven chocolates from the ten clues provided.
09:36OK.
09:37George, good luck to you.
09:38Off you go.
09:39You've got seven to get.
09:41What chocolate is this?
09:42Picnic.
09:43Is correct.
09:44What's this one?
09:45Yorkie.
09:46Is correct.
09:47What's this one?
09:48Yorkie.
09:49Is correct.
09:50What's this one?
09:51We...
09:52Er...
09:53Pass.
09:54What is that?
09:55OK, let's look at the next one.
09:56What's this one?
09:57Planet...
09:58No, that's planet.
09:59That's Earth.
10:00We don't have a pick.
10:01We don't have a chocolate called Planet or Earth.
10:03Er...
10:04Moon.
10:05Milky...
10:06Er...
10:07Milky Way.
10:08What is the chocolate bar called that's got something to do with the moon?
10:09Well, I can't give any options.
10:10I'd love to.
10:11Yeah.
10:12Pass.
10:13Pass.
10:14Pass.
10:15Pass.
10:16Pass.
10:17Pass.
10:18It's a dime bar.
10:19Yes, correct.
10:20Yeah.
10:21OK, let's go to the next one.
10:22M&M.
10:23Four M&M's?
10:24M&M's.
10:25Yes.
10:26You've got two to get.
10:27What's this one?
10:28Bucket of...
10:29Treasure, chest, box, money...
10:31That's...
10:32Yeah.
10:33You've got two to get.
10:34What's this one?
10:35Yes.
10:36Box, money...
10:37Ah...
10:38Pass if you want to come and look at the next one.
10:40Yeah, next one.
10:41OK, pass.
10:42What's this one?
10:43It's a bus going to South London.
10:46That's it.
10:48It's a red bus.
10:50Yeah.
10:51Big bus.
10:52It's a metro line by a double decker.
10:54Yes!
10:55You've got one to go.
10:57You've got one to go.
10:58What is this?
10:59What are you looking at?
11:00Flake!
11:01Yes!
11:02You did it!
11:03I hate that.
11:04Congratulations.
11:05You've scored seven winnings.
11:06I'm on the bus.
11:07Give it up for George!
11:13Oh, that was exhilarating.
11:14Larry, what did you think of George's performance there?
11:16Sweet.
11:20There's three questions you missed, George.
11:22Let's have a look.
11:23There's this one.
11:24Anybody got any ideas?
11:25Time out.
11:26It is time out, yeah.
11:27I thought it was ripped bastard, but it's not.
11:30Let's have a look at the next one.
11:33That is...
11:34Mars!
11:35Mars!
11:36Mars!
11:37Mars!
11:38Here we go.
11:39What planet is a chocolate bar?
11:42OK, this one.
11:43This is a tough one.
11:44Anybody?
11:45Bouncy!
11:46Bouncy!
11:47Bouncy!
11:48There you go.
11:49Give it up for George, though.
11:50What a performance.
11:52All right, Mum.
11:53There are two questions in.
11:54What are the scores, please?
11:55And give it a bit of drama.
11:56A little bit of Christmas.
11:57Like drama.
11:58What?
11:59But how do you want me to say?
12:00Like, just give it a little bit of body movement, you know.
12:02Like that?
12:03You got this, and you got that, and we're done.
12:05Good luck to you.
12:07Bouncy and Dudu.
12:09Yeah.
12:10Nothing at the moment, but you will get some more.
12:13OK.
12:14I'm sorry.
12:15Josh and Tom.
12:16Yeah.
12:17500 pounds.
12:18Wow, wow, wow.
12:19George and Larry.
12:20700 pounds.
12:21Well done, guys.
12:22Time for a break now.
12:23Remember, family is the greatest gift.
12:24Unless they got you a PlayStation.
12:25See you in a bed.
12:26Welcome back to Parents Evening.
12:27Kids, remember you can't influence your parents during these questions.
12:31So, I'm going to say, £700,000.
12:32I'm going to say, £700.
12:33Well done, guys.
12:34Time for a break now.
12:35Remember, family is the greatest gift, unless they got you a PlayStation.
12:36See you in a bed.
12:37Welcome back to Parents Evening.
12:52Kids, remember you can't influence your parents during these questions,
12:54You can't influence your parents during these questions,
12:56so once again, let's get set for our next one.
13:05This time, your question is all about board games.
13:09What you're going to have to do is name the board game
13:11from its official tagline.
13:13For example, skill game where you're the doctor.
13:16What board game is that?
13:18I haven't got a clue.
13:21OK, it's not. That does sound like a board game,
13:23but that's not the correct answer.
13:25It's actually Operation.
13:26It's a great game.
13:27Slightly more difficult to play nowadays
13:28because of NHS waiting times.
13:32Larry, do you think George will be any good at this?
13:34Yeah.
13:35Is he competitive when you're playing board games?
13:36Very.
13:37Very, OK.
13:38It gets competitive at our house, doesn't it, Mum?
13:40You come over every Christmas, play a bit of Uno.
13:42I'm rubbish at it.
13:43You don't know that every year...
13:45You always mention I haven't improved at all.
13:48So why don't you teach me how to play?
13:50Mum, I teach you every year.
13:52Every year.
13:53Every year.
13:54I say to you...
13:55You're walking around.
13:56I'm just going to watch a couple of games
13:57because I can't get my head around it.
13:58Yeah.
13:59Then we start playing.
14:00And then you go, should I put a two down?
14:01No, you can't put a two down!
14:02You cannot have anything I tell you!
14:04How can I run like that?
14:06This is what I say, you should learn manners.
14:13It's parents evening!
14:15OK, parents, it is time to bid.
14:19When Mum tried this earlier, she scored zero.
14:22OK, Larry, you're going to be opening the bids.
14:25How many of these do you think George can get?
14:27Five.
14:30That is a great opening bid.
14:32Tom?
14:33Six.
14:34You!
14:35OK, Dudu?
14:36What do you think?
14:37You see, these gentlemen, they know that my child can get more,
14:43so they say...
14:45So I'm going out.
14:46You're out?
14:47LAUGHTER
14:52That is one of the most incredible justifications I've ever heard.
14:55Yeah.
14:56These gentlemen know my child can get more, so I'm out.
15:03OK, Larry, it's six to b. What do you think?
15:05Seven.
15:06Ooh!
15:12It's a bit of seven to b.
15:14You seem quite stressed out.
15:15What's wrong?
15:16That's very edgy, isn't it?
15:18It is.
15:25I'll go eight.
15:32This is great gaming.
15:34OK, Larry.
15:35Tom has bid eight.
15:37Do you want to push him further?
15:43Nine.
15:46Go!
15:47Go!
15:48Go!
15:49Go!
15:50Go!
15:51Go!
15:52OK, Tom?
15:53I'm out.
15:54That means that playing for £900, it's George!
15:56So out of ten, your dad thinks he can name nine board games from their slogan.
16:09George, are you ready?
16:10I'm ready.
16:11OK, let's go.
16:12Good luck.

16:16Oh, um...
16:17Battleship.
16:18Is correct.
16:20The frantic marble munching game.
16:25The hippos.
16:26The hungry hippos.
16:27Is correct.
16:28I'll accept that.
16:29Hungry, hungry hippos.
16:30The game of strategic conquest.
16:31Riz.
16:32Is correct.
16:33Every word counts.
16:36Scrabble.
16:37Is correct.
16:38The game of quick draw.

16:44OK.
16:45Fast-dealing property trading game.
16:47Monopoly.
16:48Is correct.
16:49The original guessing game.
16:51Guess who.
16:52Is correct.
16:53We're flying.
16:54We've got three together.
16:55Your life, your way.
16:56Your life, your way.
16:57No.
16:58I don't know what that is.
16:59Pass.
17:00OK.
17:01Next one.
17:02The classic barrel of laughs for all the families.
17:06Eh...
17:07I don't know.
17:08OK.
17:09Do you want to pass and come back to that one?
17:10Pass, pass, pass.
17:11OK, let's have a look at the next one.
17:12The saddle stacking game with a moody mule.
17:17Ah.
17:18Buckaroo.
17:19Is correct.
17:20OK, we've got two together.
17:22The game of quick draw.
17:28Two left to get.
17:29That kind of thing.
17:30Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
17:31I don't know.
17:32What kind of draw is that?
17:33Well, I can give you nothing beyond that.
17:35What's the next one?
17:36The other one?
17:37Let's have a look at the next one.
17:38Your life, your way.
17:43Bad luck.
17:44You couldn't reach nine, which means the money is getting split between the others.
17:46Let's hear it for George.
17:54Let's have a look at the ones you didn't get.
17:56Yeah.
17:57The game of quick draw is Pictionary.
17:59Oh.
18:00Yeah.
18:01Your life, your way.
18:02This is probably the toughest one.
18:03It's the game of life.
18:04No.
18:05And the last one, the classic barrel of laughs for all the family.
18:09Josh, got any idea?
18:10Is that one where you put the things on and the guy pops out the barrel?
18:13Yes.
18:14Pop-up pirate.
18:15Pop-up pirate.
18:16Wow.
18:17OK, Mum, could you give us a score, please?
18:18Of course I can.
18:19A little bit of Christmas pizazz, please, if you don't mind.
18:21Mochi and doo-doo.
18:23Yes.
18:24450 pounds.
18:25Yay!
18:26Woo!
18:27Woo!
18:28Woo!
18:29George and Larry, 700 pounds.
18:32Woo!
18:33Woo!
18:34My God.
18:36George and Tom, 950 pounds.
18:40Woo!
18:41Woo!
18:42Woo!
18:43Woo!
18:44Woo!
18:45Woo!
18:46So, basically, Mochi and Doo-doo, you benefited from Larry sort of getting over-excited with
18:50the beans.
18:51We're happy.
18:52We're happy about that.
18:53OK.
18:54From this point, you will not be given any clues.
18:56OK?
18:57Instead, you'll be given a category, and you have to list as many correct answers as you can
19:00in that category.
19:01Plus, every correct answer is now worth 200 pounds.
19:05Woo!
19:06Because there's nothing more Christmas pizazz than suddenly everything being twice the price.
19:10So, Josh, Mochi and George, let's get you set for the next question.
19:21Your next category is Christmas dinner.
19:24You have to guess all the components of the traditional Christmas dinner at Wetherspoon.
19:29By the way, just so you know, from this point on, if any of you say an answer before the game begins,
19:34it will be considered cheating, I'm afraid.
19:36In which case, the answer will be removed, and I'll take 100 pounds off your total.
19:40And I might take away 100 pounds if Josh says anything, because he really is bringing out my inner bully.
19:44LAUGHTER
19:46Doo-doo, what's a South African Christmas meal like?
19:48South Africa is...
19:50It's summer.
19:52Because in summer, you stay outside, we do brides.
19:57And when I get here in Europe, Christmas was inside.
20:01LAUGHTER
20:03It's cold. It's different, isn't it?
20:05I mean, that's a really nice way of saying Christmas here is shit.
20:08LAUGHTER
20:13Doo-doo, Mochi has not played yet, because your favourite phrase tonight has been, I'm out.
20:18LAUGHTER
20:19Do you think this might be the one that she could step up?
20:21Yes. Yes.
20:22OK, well, let's see.
20:23Parents, it's time to bid.
20:27When Mum tried this earlier, she scored five.
20:30APPLAUSE
20:37OK, it's not that much of a flex.
20:39All right, Tom, it's your turn to bid first.
20:42How many do you think Josh can get?
20:44Four.
20:45Four.
20:46Doo-doo, what are you thinking?
20:47I'm out.
20:48What?
20:49LAUGHTER
20:50LAUGHTER
20:51APPLAUSE
20:52LAUGHTER
20:55LAUGHTER
20:56LAUGHTER
20:58Is it right, have you flown all the way from South Africa to play this tonight?
21:01Yes?
21:02Yes.
21:03OK.
21:04And you just don't want Motsi to get involved at all?
21:06No, I understand.
21:07LAUGHTER
21:09Larry, Tom's bid four, what do you think?
21:12Five.
21:13Five, OK.
21:14Could this be another duel again, Tom?
21:16Six.
21:17Oh.
21:18Larry?
21:20I'm out.
21:24OK, well, that means that playing for £1,200 is Josh!
21:35So, your dad thinks you can name six savouring components that are listed in the traditional Christmas dinner at J.D. Wetherspoon, otherwise known as spoons.
21:42Multiple guesses are allowed, but if you take too long without giving a correct answer, you will time out.
21:47OK.
21:48Off you go.
21:49OK, turkey.
21:51It's there.
21:52Gravy.
21:54Gravy's there.
21:55Carrots.
21:56Stuffing.
21:57Carrots is there, yeah.
21:58Er, potatoes.
21:59We need more specific than none.
22:01Roast potatoes.
22:02No.
22:03Boiled potatoes.
22:04No.
22:05Mashed potatoes?
22:06Off.
22:07I thought the same.
22:08I thought the same.
22:09I thought the same.
22:10Bread sauce.
22:11Er, sprouts.
22:12No.
22:13Carrots.
22:14No.
22:15Carrots.
22:16Chicken.
22:17Beef.
22:18Um.
22:19Oh, God.
22:20Stuffing.
22:21No.
22:22Um.
22:23And.
22:24Stuffing.
22:25I've already got stuffing!
22:27Oh, no!
22:28Oh, no!
22:29Oh, no!
22:30Oh, no!
22:31Who was it?
22:32Josh, I'm so sorry.
22:33Bad luck.
22:34The money's getting split between the others.
22:35Oh!
22:36Give it up for Josh!
22:39That was tough!
22:44What would you have gone for?
22:45OK.
22:46This is the full list.
22:49And I think you'll find it pretty offensive.
22:52Oh.
22:53Do you know what?
22:54I don't hate myself after that.
22:55First of all, can I just say, pigs in blankets.
22:58Getting a bit of pig, then wrapping it in a bit of pig.
23:01I mean, absolutely taking the piss there.
23:03Motsu, how are you feeling about not being put up for any of the rounds so far?
23:07I feel the ambitious person in myself is screaming.
23:11Yeah.
23:12But on the other side, I'm just like, you know, she protects me, I protect her.
23:17You guys are serving.
23:19No, God looks good!
23:21Woo!
23:22OK, Mum, what's that done to the scores, please?
23:28Josh and Tom...
23:29Oh.
23:30...950 pounds because...
23:32You know why.
23:33APPLAUSE
23:35Motsu and Dudu, 1,055.
23:36I'd love it if the first time Motsu had to answer was in the final.
23:47LAUGHTER
23:49And George and Larry, 1,300 pounds, guys!
23:53CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
23:55OK, it's time for a festive break, which in my house means Lisa asking me to sleep in the garage.
24:00See you in a bit.
24:01CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
24:15Welcome back to the parents' evening Christmas special.
24:17Proving family is a gift, but it's still worth keeping the receipt.
24:20LAUGHTER
24:21OK, Josh, Motsu and George, let's get you set for your next question.
24:25APPLAUSE
24:32Your next category is greetings cards.
24:35Oh!
24:36You're going to have to name the themes for cards available at Card Factory.
24:39Larry, who's a better gifter, you or George?
24:42Bearing in mind you give gifts of yourself, but...
24:44LAUGHTER
24:45Well, you know, it's certainly not me.
24:47I'm rather renowned in the family as spending 73 years getting a present for George that was right.
24:57But of course...
24:58I'm 45.
24:59I know.
25:00LAUGHTER
25:02APPLAUSE
25:04I was 73, so it was 41 years in getting him a birthday.
25:13Yeah.
25:14For getting him a present that was right.
25:16LAUGHTER
25:17Unfortunately, you've said one of the answers.
25:20Oh!
25:21Which means that I've got to take £100 off...
25:23No!
25:24No!
25:25No!
25:26That's the rules of the game.
25:27You said birthday.
25:28LAUGHTER
25:29Tom, was Josh very grateful for the gifts he received?
25:32Oh, I don't know.
25:34I don't know.
25:35Why, cos you didn't give him any?
25:36Well, we don't show a lot of emotion in our family, Romesh.
25:40Oh, really?
25:41LAUGHTER
25:42How often do you tell Josh you love him?
25:45Er...
25:46I don't think I've ever told him that.
25:48LAUGHTER
25:49I'm going to be nice with you, Tom.
25:51I know it's weird, but I'm on your side.
25:53LAUGHTER
25:56OK, parents, it's time to bid.
25:59When Mum tried this earlier, she scored six.
26:03Ooh.
26:04Ooh!
26:05Doody, you're going to be opening the bids.
26:07Yes.
26:08How many do you think Motsy can get?
26:10Three.
26:11Three?
26:12Yes.
26:13OK.
26:14CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
26:16Larry?
26:18Four.
26:19Four.
26:20Tom, what are you thinking?
26:21Five.
26:22Doody?
26:23Out.
26:24I'm out.
26:25LAUGHTER
26:31Larry, five is the bid to be.
26:33I'll go six.
26:34Six.
26:35Tom?
26:36I never thought you'd be like this, Larry.
26:38LAUGHTER
26:45I had a whole different impression of what you were like.
26:48LAUGHTER
26:49Tom, what did he think he was like? How is he differed?
26:51I thought he'd be like that guy off Gavin and Stacey.
26:54LAUGHTER
27:03What are you thinking then, Tom?
27:04I'll go seven.
27:05OK.
27:06Two.
27:07Larry?
27:08I'll go eight.
27:09Oh!
27:10Ooh!
27:11Tom!
27:12Um, nine.
27:13Nine!
27:14CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
27:15Larry?
27:16Tom didn't think you were going to be like this.
27:18LAUGHTER
27:19Ten.
27:20Ten?
27:21OK.
27:22APPLAUSE
27:23Tom?
27:24I'm, uh, I'm going to go eleven.
27:26CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
27:27I'm, uh, I'm going to go eleven.
27:29CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
27:30OK, Larry, the bid is currently at eleven.
27:31Um...
27:32I'm out.
27:33Oh!
27:34You are out.
27:35APPLAUSE
27:36OK.
27:37That means that playing for £2,200, it's Josh!
27:38CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
27:39CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
27:40I'm, uh, I'm going to go eleven.

27:47You are out.
27:48APPLAUSE
27:49OK.
27:50That means that playing for £2,200, it's Josh!
27:51CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
27:52APPLAUSE
27:53OK.
27:54That means that playing for £2,200, it's Josh!
27:57CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
27:58OK, Josh, you're really keen for your dad to push up the bids,
28:12aren't you?
28:13I'll be honest, I never thought I'd see my dad in a dick-swinging
28:15contest with Larry Lamb.
28:17LAUGHTER
28:18So your dad thinks he can name eleven reasons for giving
28:20someone a card according to The Card Factory.
28:22Multiple guesses are allowed, but if you take too long
28:24without giving a correct answer, you will time out.
28:27We need eleven.
28:28OK.
28:29Good luck to you, Josh.
28:31Off you go, whenever you're ready.

29:50Well, 11 not, but, uh...
29:52Yeah, baby shower, Mother's Day, Father's Day, congratulations.

29:58Yeah, I mean, you're reading them.

30:01What about you, George?
30:02I could have got more.
30:03Yeah?
30:04Yeah.
30:05You could have got more?
30:06Oh, wow!
30:07I think this is...
30:08I actually think this is quite an easy one.
30:09Right.
30:10Although I'm the guy who didn't get miles when I was looking at...
30:12LAUGHTER
30:14OK, Mum, what has that done to the scores, please?
30:16I'm excited.
30:18Let me read it for you.
30:20Yeah?

31:06LAUGHTER
31:08LAUGHTER
31:10Go for it.
31:12This question is all about festive football birds.
31:16What this is, is you're going to have to list the birds
31:18that have appeared on the badges of Premier League football teams
31:21past and present?
31:23Doodoo, does Motsu like football?
31:25Yes.
31:26LAUGHTER
31:31OK, parents, it's time to bid.
31:33So, when Mum tried this earlier, she scored one.

32:29Who are you?
32:30Who are you?
32:31Who are you?
32:32Who are you?
32:33This is the best possible result we could have hoped for.
32:37Merry Christmas, everybody.
32:40Playing for the first time, for £800, it's Motsy!
32:54Motsy, what's your knowledge of football badge birds?
32:58No, zero!
33:00You've only got to get four.
33:03OK.
33:04Look, what I'm going to say, if you do get four, the roof is going to come off this.
33:08So your mum thinks that you can name four birds that have featured,
33:11or still do feature,
33:13on the badges of football teams that have played in the Premier League.
33:17Motsy, are you ready?
33:19I have no choice.
33:23Motsy, good, off you go, you've just got to name four.
33:25So just shout out some birds.
33:27Eagle!
33:28Yes, that's right.
33:32Good go, good go.
33:33Vulture.

35:17Josh, Motsy and George, you're going to be answering questions
35:19on the buzzer, but we've given those buzzers to your parents.

38:31Dad's been kicking himself the whole way about the whole greeting card thing, you know what I mean?
38:44That's the last ten minutes, he's like, you could have done much better than that, you know?

38:59APPLAUSE

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

44:12OK.
44:13OK.
44:14Oh!
44:16Sorry, the lightning rod is a...
44:18It's actually a manscaping style, according to Wilkinson's sword.
44:22LAUGHTER
44:23OK.
44:24So, you've got one wrong, three wrong and you're out.
44:27What are you thinking now?
