00:00MUSIC
00:27Hello, I'm Romesh 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.
00:46Dance of Motta Mabusi and her mum, Doodoo.
00:50And presenter George Lamb and his dad, acting legend Larry Lamb.
00:54And also here tonight is my mum, Shanti Ranganathan.
01:03Mum has been dropping hints about what she wants for Christmas,
01:06but I'm not going to get a divorce and then marry a Sri Lankan woman. Sorry.
01:09Mum 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.
01:21What 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.
01:35What kind of narcissistic prick would give a life-size poster of themselves as a Christmas gift?
01:42Who was it?
01:48So, who was the life-size photo of you for?
01:52My mum, it turned out. Yeah, exactly.
01:55Yeah, we still laugh about that one.
01:57Mum, who would you like a life-size photo of?
02:00You.
02:01I'd love to have one.
02:03Will you give me one?
02:05I will if it means I don't have to see you face-to-face.
02:08OK.
02:09Good luck tonight, everybody.
02:10Let'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.
02:32And to stop them influencing your bids, we're going to put your kids on the naughty step three feet behind you.
02:37So, Josh, Wotsey and George, let's get you set for tonight's first question.
02:48Our 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.
03:05That'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.
03:21Three stars?
03:22Yeah.
03:23That's not...
03:24That's not...
03:25You don't love someone and then give them...
03:26I'll be honest, I'm listening now, they are right about the voice.
03:28Yeah, I mean, I was going to say, even in that, it is quite irritating.
03:31Yeah.
03:32This is from my stand-up special.
03:34Came for Romesh, stayed for Shanthi.
03:36Five stars.
03:38Oh, well done on putting your own five-star review on TV.
03:40Well done, Robert.
03:43Doo-doo, do you watch films at Christmas?
03:45Yes.
03:46Did you watch the Strictly Christmas special?
03:48No.
03:49No.
03:54No, no, I get it, I get it.
03:56Why would you?
03:57I mean, it's not even the proper Strictly, though, is it?
03:59It's just Josh dressed as a penguin looking like a twat.
04:02He was great, though.
04:03He did a good job.
04:04Yeah.
04:05Moxie gave me a nine.
04:06Yeah.
04:07And it was sincere.
04:08It was like...
04:09I thought it was sincere until you said that.
04:10No!
04:11No!
04:12Josh, your face in that photo.
04:13It looks like it's the first time you've been allowed outside.
04:16I'm so delighted to be a penguin.
04:18Oh, so it's a good voice when you do it.
04:20Is that okay?
04:21Yeah.
04:22Yeah.
04:23Yeah.
04:24Yeah.
04:25Yeah.
04:26Yeah.
04:27Yeah.
04:28Yeah.
04:29Yeah.
04:30Yeah.
04:31Oh, so it's a good voice when you do it.
04:32Is that okay?
04:33LAUGHTER
04:34I used up my stand-up special.
04:35You should have watched it five stars.
04:37LAUGHTER
04:38OK.
04:39Parents, it is time to bid.
04:43Now, when Mum tried this earlier, she scored zero.
04:46Yeah.
04:47It's true.
04:48Tom, you're going to be opening the bids.
04:49How many do you think Josh can get?
04:52I reckon he'll get at least three.
04:55Three.
04:56OK.
04:57Dudu, do you think Moxie can get more than three?
04:59Um...
05:00I...
05:01I don't know.
05:02LAUGHTER
05:03Larry, do you think George can get more than three?
05:08Yeah, I'll go for four.
05:09Four.
05:10OK.
05:11Tom?
05:12Yeah, 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.
05:20Oh!
05:21That means playing for £500 is George!
05:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
05:33Hello, Josh.
05:34Hello, Romesh.
05:35OK.
05:36Out of ten, your dad thinks you can guess five Christmas movies
05:38from their review on Letterboxd.
05:40You can give multiple guesses.
05:41Yeah.
05:42You can pass as many times as you want, but you only have 90 seconds.
05:45Cool.
05:46Mum's going to be timing the round.
05:47I would.
05:48OK, Josh.
05:49You've got five to get.
05:50Good luck.
05:51Off you go.
05:53A small child and a duo of criminals attempt to brutally murder each other.
05:56Home Alone.
05:57Four and a half stars.
05:58It's correct.
05:59Well done.
06:00APPLAUSE
06:01Love Actually.
06:02Two stars.
06:03Love Actually.
06:04It is Love Actually.
06:05It's a wonderful movie.
06:06It's a wonderful movie.
06:07It's absolutely correct.
06:09APPLAUSE
06:10Who is taking care of Jude Law's children?
06:12While he's having bad sex with Cameron Diaz.
06:13The holiday?
06:14Three stars.
06:15It is the holiday.
06:16Well done.
06:17You've got one to get it.
06:18Tim Allen kills Santa Claus and takes his job.
06:20Three stars.
06:21The Santa Claus.
06:22It is the Santa Claus!
06:23Josh Minnigan!
06:24Oh, my God!
06:25Come on!
06:26Yes, Josh!
06:27Yes!
06:28You score five.
06:29What do you give up?
06:30Give it back for Josh!
06:31CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
06:33Good work.
06:34Josh, incredible work.
06:35Was that celebration proportionate to naming five Christmas movies?
06:39LAUGHTER
06:40Up to you to decide.
06:41What's your favourite Christmas film, Mum?
06:42Home Alone.
06:43What about Love Actually?
06:44Love Actually?
06:45What is that?
06:46You know the film where Hugh Grant is the Prime Minister?
06:47I don't like Hugh Grant.
06:48LAUGHTER
06:49Why don't you like Hugh Grant?
06:50It's very rude.
06:51He can be popular.
06:52Yeah.
06:53But he should learn manners.
06:54Mum!
06:55Mum!
06:56It's for you as well.
06:57What?
06:58For me?
06:59APPLAUSE
07:00Someone is standing up to him!
07:01Yes, Mummy!
07:02Yes!
07:03Yes!
07:04Yes, Mummy!
07:05Thank you, darling.
07:07I love your dance.
07:08CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
07:09I love your dance.
07:10LAUGHTER
07:11Why don't you like Hugh Grant?
07:12Why don't you like Hugh Grant?
07:13Why don't you like Hugh Grant?
07:14It's very rude.
07:15LAUGHTER
07:16He can be popular.
07:17Yeah.
07:18But he should learn manners.
07:19Mum!
07:20Mum!
07:21Mum!
07:22Yes!
07:23It's for you as well.
07:24For me?
07:25For me?
07:26Yes!
07:27Someone is standing up to him!
07:28Yes, Mummy!
07:29CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
07:31OK.
07:32Josh, Motsey and George, let's get you set for your next question.
07:42OK.
07:43This time your question is all about chocolate.
07:45Oh!
07:46Sometimes people aren't sure whether a chocolate is vegan or not.
07:48The rule I use is, if you're enjoying it, it's not vegan.
07:51LAUGHTER
07:53What you're going to have to do for this one is you have to name
07:55the chocolate bar represented by the picture.
07:57For example, this one, Mum.
07:58What chocolate is that?
08:00Lion bar?
08:01Lion bar is absolutely right.
08:03Yeah, I mean, to be fair, you just had to say...
08:04It's a big face.
08:05How can I miss it?
08:06Yeah.
08:07OK.
08:08Parents, it's time to bid.
08:11Now, when Mum tried this earlier, she scored two.
08:14Dudu, you're going to be opening the bids.
08:16How many do you think Motsey can get?
08:19Two.
08:20OK, Larry, Dudu's bid two.
08:22How many do you think George can get?
08:23Five.
08:24Five!
08:25Oh, yay!
08:26Come on!
08:27APPLAUSE
08:28Tom.
08:30I'll go six.
08:33OK.
08:34Yay!
08:35Dudu, six is the bid to be.
08:37No?
08:38I'm out.
08:39You're out.
08:40OK, fair enough.
08:41Larry?
08:42Seven.
08:43Oh, OK.
08:44I like this.
08:45OK, Tom, this is a battle now.
08:47I'm out.
08:48Oh.
08:49No!
08:50LAUGHTER
08:51So, that means playing for £700, it's George!
09:01Hello, George.
09:02How are you?
09:03I'm very well.
09:04How are you?
09:05I'm good.
09:06I've suddenly felt a lot less attractive.
09:07OK, so, how do you feel about this round?
09:10I like chocolate a lot.
09:12Yeah.
09:13But, yeah, I feel confident.
09:14Oh, God.
09:15When you looked at me and said, I like chocolate a lot,
09:17I felt something.
09:18Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:19That's not a great hair.
09:20That's not a great hair.
09:21Yeah.
09:22Do you think what a problem am I is?
09:23I could be that chocolate, George, if you're honest.
09:25LAUGHTER
09:26OK, so, your dad thinks you can name seven chocolates
09:30from the ten clues provided.
09:32OK.
09:33George, good luck to you.
09:34Off you go.
09:35You've got seven to get.
09:36What chocolate is this?
09:37Picnic.
09:38Is correct.
09:41Whisper.
09:42Whisper is correct.
09:44What's this one?
09:45Yorkie.
09:46Is correct.
09:47Pass.
09:48What is that?
09:49OK, let's go to the next one.
09:50What's this one?
09:51Planet.
09:52No, that's planet.
09:53That's Earth.
09:54We don't have a pick.
09:55We don't have a chocolate called Planet or Earth.
09:56Moon.
09:57Milky...
09:58Milky Way.
09:59What is the chocolate bar called that's got something to do with the moon?
10:00Well, I can't give any options.
10:01I'd love to.
10:02Yeah?
10:03Pass.
10:04Pass.
10:05Pass.
10:06Pass.
10:07Pass.
10:08Pass.
10:09Pass.
10:10It's a dime bar.
10:11Yes, correct.
10:12OK, let's go to the next one.
10:13Eminem.
10:14Four Eminem's.
10:15Eminem's.
10:16Yes.
10:17You've got two to get.
10:18What's this one?
10:19Bucket of treasure, chest, box, money.
10:21Pass if you want to come and look at the next one.
10:22Yeah, next one.

10:26It's a red bus.
10:27Yeah.
10:28It's a metro line by Double Decker.
10:29Yes!

10:53Yes!
10:54Yes!
10:55Yes!
10:56You've got it!
10:57Yes!
10:58Yes!
10:59Congratulations.
11:00You scored seven.
11:01We've got the best.
11:02Give it up for George!
11:08Oh!
11:09That was exhilarating.
11:10Larry, what did you think of George's performance here?
11:12Sweet.
11:13LAUGHTER
11:15There's three questions you missed, George.
11:17Let's have a look.
11:19There's this one.
11:20Anybody got any ideas?
11:21Time out?
11:22It is time out, yeah.
11:23I thought it was ripped bastard, but it's not.
11:25Let's have a look at the next one.
11:28That is... Mars!
11:30Mars!
11:32Mars!
11:34Here we go, what planet is a chocolate bar?
11:37OK, this one. This is a tough one. Anybody?
11:40Bouncy! Bouncy!
11:42Bouncy! There you go.
11:44Give it up for George, though. What a performance.
11:47All right, Mum, the two questions in, what are the scores, please?
11:50And give it a bit of drama, a little bit of Christmas.
11:52Like drama, how do you want me to say it?
11:55Like, just give it a little bit of body movement, you know.
11:57Like that?
11:58You got this, and you got that, and we're done!
12:01Good luck to you. Bouncy and Dudu.
12:04Yeah.
12:06Nothing at the moment, but you will get some more.
12:09OK, no!
12:10I'm sorry.
12:12Josh and Tom. Yeah.
12:14£500.
12:19Wow, wow, wow.
12:20George and Larry, £700.
12:25Well done, guys.
12:26Time for a break now.
12:27Remember, family is the greatest gift.
12:29Unless they got you a PlayStation.
12:30See you in a bit.
12:31Welcome back to Parents Evening.
12:32Kids, remember you can't influence your parents during these questions, so once again, let's get set for our next one.
12:52This time, your question is all about board games. What you're going to have to do is name the board game from its official tagline. For example, skill game where you're the doctor. What board game is that?
13:13I haven't got a clue.
13:15LAUGHTER
13:16OK, it's not. That does sound like a board game, but that's not the correct answer.
13:19Yeah.
13:20It's actually Operation.
13:21It's a great game.
13:22Slightly more difficult to play nowadays because of NHS waiting times.
13:25LAUGHTER
13:26Larry, do you think George will be any good at this?
13:28Yeah.
13:29Is he competitive when you're playing board games?
13:31Very.
13:32OK, yeah.
13:33It gets competitive at our house, doesn't it, Mum?
13:34You come over every Christmas, play a bit of Uno.
13:37I'm rubbish at it.
13:38Yeah.
13:39Well, you don't know that every year you don't...
13:40You always mention I haven't improved at all.
13:43So why don't you teach me how to play?
13:45Mum, I teach you every year.
13:47Ever?
13:48Every year.
13:49I say to you, this is safe.
13:50You're walking around.
13:51I'm just going to watch a couple of games because I can't get my head around it.
13:54Yeah.
13:55And then you go, should I put a two down?
13:56No, you can't put a two down!
13:58You cannot have anything to tell you!
14:00So how can I learn like that?
14:01This is what I said, you should learn manners.
14:08It's so evening!
14:10Yeah.
14:11OK, parents, it is time to bid.
14:14When Mum tried this earlier, she scored zero.
14:17OK, Larry, you're going to be opening the bids.
14:20How many of these do you think George can get?
14:24Five.
14:26That is a great opening bid.
14:28Tom?
14:29Six.
14:30You!
14:31OK, Dudu?
14:32What do you think?
14:33You see, these gentlemen, they know that my child can get more.
14:39They say...
14:40So I'm going out.
14:41You're out!
14:42Out!
14:47That is one of the most incredible justifications I've ever heard.
14:50Yeah.
14:51These gentlemen know my child can get more, so I'm out.
14:54LAUGHTER
14:55LAUGHTER
14:57OK, Larry, it's six to beat.
14:59What do you think?
15:00Seven.
15:01Ooh!
15:02It's eight!
15:03It's eight!
15:04It's eight!
15:05It's eight!
15:06It's eight!
15:07So...
15:08It's a bit of seven to beat.
15:09You seem quite stressed out, what's wrong?
15:10That's very edgy, isn't it?
15:11It is.
15:12LAUGHTER
15:13LAUGHTER
15:14I'll go eight.
15:17APPLAUSE
15:18This is...this is great gaming.
15:20OK, Larry.
15:21Tom has been eight.
15:22Do you want to push him further?
15:23LAUGHTER
15:24APPLAUSE
15:25This is...this is great gaming.
15:28OK, Larry.
15:29Tom has been eight.
15:31Do you want to push him further?
15:33LAUGHTER
15:34Nine.
15:35LAUGHTER
15:36APPLAUSE
15:38Go, go, go, go!
15:39OK, Tom.
15:40I'm out.
15:41That means that playing for £900, it's George!
15:44OK, Tom.
15:45I'm out.
15:46LAUGHTER
15:47That means that playing for £900, it's George!
15:50APPLAUSE
16:00So, out of ten, your dad thinks he can name nine board games
16:03from their slogan.
16:04George, are you ready?
16:05I'm ready.
16:06OK, let's go.
16:07Good luck.
16:10The classic naval combat game.
16:13Oh, erm...
16:14Battleship.
16:15Is correct!
16:16APPLAUSE
16:18The frantic marble munching game.
16:20The hippos.

16:47Is correct.
16:48APPLAUSE
16:49Right, we've got three to go.
16:50Your life, your way.
16:51Your life, your way.
16:55No.
16:56I don't know what that is.
16:57Pass.
16:58OK, next one.
16:59The classic barrel of laughs for all the farmers.
17:02Er...
17:03I don't know.
17:04OK, do you want to pass and come back to that one?
17:05Pass, pass, pass, pass.
17:06OK, let's have a look at the next one.
17:07The saddle stacking game with a moody mule.
17:12Ah...
17:13Buckaroo.
17:14Is correct!
17:15CHEERING
17:16OK, we've got two to do.
17:17The game of quick draw.
17:23Two left to get.
17:24That kind of thing.
17:25Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
17:26I don't know, like, what kind of draw is that?
17:28Well, I can give you nothing beyond that.
17:30What's the next one?
17:31The other one?
17:33Your life, your way.
17:38Bad luck, you couldn't reach nine,
17:39which means the money's getting split between the others.
17:41Let's hear it for George!
17:49Er, let's have a look at the ones you didn't get.
17:51The game of quick draw is Pictionary.
17:54Oh!
17:55Yeah.
17:56Your life, your way.
17:57This is probably the toughest one.
17:58It's the game of life.
17:59No.
18:00No.
18:01And the last one, the classic barrel of last for all the family.
18:04Josh, got any idea?
18:05It's that one where you put the things on and the guy pops out the barrel.
18:08Yes.
18:09Pop-up pirates.
18:10Pop-up pirates.
18:11Wow.
18:12OK, Mum, could you give us a score, please?
18:13Of course I can.
18:14A little bit of Christmas pizzazz, please, if you don't mind.
18:16Motsi and Dudu.
18:17Yes.
18:18450 pounds!
18:19Yay!
18:20Yay!
18:21Yay!
18:22Yay!
18:23Yay!
18:24George and Larry, 700 pounds!
18:27Yay!
18:28Yay!
18:29My God!
18:31George and Tom, 950 pounds!
18:33Yay!
18:34Yay!
18:35Yay!
18:36Yay!
18:37Yay!
18:38Yay!
18:39Yay!
18:40Yay!
18:41So, basically, Motsi and Dudu, you benefited from Larry sort of getting overexcited with beans.
18:45We're happy.
18:46We're happy about that.
18:47OK.
18:48From this point, you will not be given any clues, OK?
18:51Instead, you'll be given a category, and you have to list as many correct answers as you
18:55can in that category.
18:56Plus, every correct answer is now worth 200 pounds.
19:00Ooh!
19:01Because there's nothing more Christmas-y than suddenly everything being twice the price.
19:05So, Josh, Motsi and George, let's get you set for the next question.
19:16Your next category is Christmas dinner.
19:19You have to guess all the components of the traditional Christmas dinner at Wetherspoon.
19:25By the way, just so you know, from this point on, if any of you say an answer before the game begins,
19:29it will be considered cheating, I'm afraid.
19:31In which case, the answer will be removed, and I'll take £100 off your total.
19:35And I might take away £100 if Josh says anything, because he really is bringing out my inner bully.
19:41Dudu, what's a South African Christmas meal like?
19:43South Africa is summer, because in summer, you stay outside, we do brides.
19:52And when I get here in Europe, Christmas was inside.
19:56It's cold, it's different, isn't it?
20:00I mean, that's a really nice way of saying Christmas here is shit.
20:03LAUGHTER
20:08Dudu, Motsi's not played yet, because your favourite phrase tonight has been, I'm out.
20:13So, do you think this might be the one that she could step up?
20:16Yes. Yes.
20:17OK, well, let's see.
20:18Parents, it's time to bid.
20:20When Mum tried this earlier, she scored five.
20:32OK, it's not that much of a flex.
20:34All 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
20:43APPLAUSE
20:53Is it right, have you flown all the way from South Africa to play this tonight?
20:56Yes, OK.
20:57Yes.
20:58And you just don't want Motsi to get involved at all?
21:00No, I understand.
21:02Larry, Tom's bid four, what do you think?
21:05Five.
21:06Five, OK.
21:07Could this be another duel again, Tom?
21:09Six.
21:11Oh.
21:12Larry?
21:15I'm out.
21:18OK, well, that means that playing for £1,200 is Josh!
21:30So, your dad thinks you can name six savouring components that are listed in the traditional Christmas dinner at JD Wetherspoon, otherwise known as spoons.
21:37Multiple guesses are allowed, but if you take too long without giving a correct answer, you will time out.
21:42OK.
21:43Off you go.
21:44OK, turkey.
21:46It's there.
21:48Gravy.
21:49Gravy, sir.
21:50Carrots.
21:51Stuffing.
21:52Carrots is there, yeah.
21:54Potatoes.
21:55We need more specific than that.
21:56Roast potatoes.
21:57No.
21:58Boiled potatoes.
21:59No.
22:00Mashed potatoes?
22:01Yes.
22:02Fuck off.
22:04I thought the same.
22:05Bread sauce.
22:06Um.
22:07Uh.
22:08Sprouts.
22:09No.
22:10Carrots.
22:11Chicken.
22:12Uh.
22:13Beef.
22:14Um.
22:15Oh, God.
22:16Stuffing.
22:17No.
22:18Um.
22:19And.
22:20Uh.
22:21Stuffing.
22:22No.
22:23Oh, no.
22:24Oh, no.
22:25Oh, no.
22:26Who was it?
22:27Josh, I'm so sorry.
22:28Bad luck.
22:29The money's getting split between the others.
22:31Give it up for Josh.
22:32That was tough.
22:33What would you have gone for?
22:34OK.
22:35This is the full list.
22:36And I think you'll find it pretty offensive.
22:37Oh.
22:38Oh.
22:39Do you know what?
22:40I don't hate myself after that.
22:41First of all, can I just say, pigs in blankets, getting a bit of pig, then wrapping it in a bit of pig.
22:47I mean, absolutely taking the piss there.
22:48Motsi, how are you feeling about not being put up for any of the rounds so far?
22:50I feel the ambitious person in myself is screaming.
22:53Yeah.
22:54But on the other side, I'm just like, you know, she protects me, I protect her, you guys are serving.
23:01Make-up was done!
23:02Woo!
23:03OK, Mum, what's that done to the scores, please?
23:04Josh and Tom.
23:05Oh.
23:06950 pounds, because you know why.
23:07You know why.
23:08You know why.
23:09You're not being put up for any of the rounds so far.
23:10I feel the ambitious person in myself is screaming.
23:12Yeah.
23:13But on the other side, I'm just like, you know, she protects me, I protect her.
23:15You guys are serving.
23:16Make-up was done!
23:17Woo!
23:18OK, Mum, what's that done to the scores, please?
23:22Josh and Tom.
23:23Oh.
23:24950 pounds, because you know why.
23:28You know why.
23:31Mochi and Dudu, 1,054!
23:34Wow!
23:39I'd love it if the first time Mochi had to answer was in the final.
23:44And George and Larry, 1,300 pounds, guys!
23:50OK, it's time for a festive break, which in my house means Lisa asking me to sleep in the garage.
23:55See you in a bit.
23:58APPLAUSE
24:10Welcome back to the parents' evening Christmas special.
24:12Proving family is a gift, but it's still worth keeping the receipt.
24:17OK, Josh, Motsey and George, let's get you set for your next question.
24:20APPLAUSE
24:28Your next category is greetings cards.
24:30Oh!
24:31You're going to have to name the themes for cards available at Card Factory.
24:34Larry, who's a better gifter, you or George?
24:37Bear in mind you give gifts of yourself, but...
24:40Well, you know, it's certainly not me.
24:43I'm rather renowned in the family as spending 73 years getting a present for George that was right.
24:52But of course...
24:53I'm 45.
24:54I know.
24:55LAUGHTER
25:04I was 73, so it was 41 years getting him a birthday.
25:08Yeah.
25:09Don't forget him a present that was right.
25:12LAUGHTER
25:13Unfortunately, you've said one of the answers.
25:15Oh!
25:16Which means that I've got to take £100 off...
25:18No!
25:19No!
25:20No!
25:21That's the rules of the game.
25:22No!
25:23He said birthday.
25:24Tom, was Josh very grateful for the gifts he received?
25:28Oh, I don't know.
25:29I don't know.
25:30Why, cos you didn't give him any?
25:32Well, we don't show a lot of emotion in our family, Romesh.
25:35Oh, really?
25:37How often do you tell Josh you love him?
25:41I don't think I've ever told him that.
25:43LAUGHTER
25:45I'm going to be nice to you, Tom.
25:46I know it's weird, but I'm on your side.
25:48LAUGHTER
25:52OK, parents, it's time to bid.
25:56When Mum tried this earlier, she scored six.
25:59Ooh.
26:00Ooh!
26:01Doody, you're going to be opening the bids.
26:03Yes.
26:04How many do you think Motsy can get?
26:05Three.
26:06Three?
26:07Yes.
26:08OK.

26:20You're out.
26:21OK.
26:26Larry, five is the bid to be.
26:28I'll go six.
26:29Six.
26:30Tom?
26:31I never thought you'd be like this, Larry.
26:33LAUGHTER
26:34I had a whole different impression of what you were like.
26:43LAUGHTER
26:44Tom, what did you think he was like?
26:46How is he differed?
26:47I thought you'd be like that guy off Gavin and Stacey.
26:49LAUGHTER
26:50LAUGHTER
26:51What are you thinking then, Tom?
26:52I'll go seven.
26:53OK.
26:54Larry?
26:55I'll go eight.

27:38Um...
27:43I'm out.
27:44Oh!
27:45You are out.
27:47APPLAUSE
27:49OK.
27:50That means that playing for £2,200, it's John!
27:55APPLAUSE
27:56OK.
27:57Josh, you're really keen for your dad to push up the bids,
27:59weren't you?
28:00I'll be honest, I never thought I'd see my dad in a dick
28:02swinging contest with Larry Lamb.
28:04LAUGHTER
28:05So your dad thinks he can name eleven reasons for giving
28:06someone a card according to the card factory.
28:08Multiple guesses are allowed, but if you take too long
28:10without giving a correct answer, you will time out.
28:12We need eleven.

30:02I think this is...
30:03I actually think this is quite an easy one.
30:04Right.
30:05Although I'm the guy who didn't get miles when I was looking at...

31:14that have appeared on the badges of Premier League football teams

33:03I...
33:04So your mum thinks that you can name four birds that have featured...
33:07...or still do feature...
33:08...er the badges of football teams that have played in the Premier League.
33:11LAUGHTER
33:12Motsu, you ready?

33:16LAUGHTER
33:18WOW!

34:25I will never do that again.
34:27Give it up for Motsi Mobusi, everybody!

38:24Congratulations, Josh and Tom, you have made it through to the final!
38:29APPLAUSE
38:30George, how do you feel it went for you tonight?
38:35Dad's been kicking himself the whole way about the whole greeting card thing.
38:38You know what I mean?
38:39That's the last ten minutes.
38:40He's like, you could have done much better than that, you know?
38:42LAUGHTER
38:43Motsi, how do you feel the game went for you tonight?
38:46I think we did well.
38:47Yeah.
38:48We connected.
38:49Yeah.
38:50Yeah.
38:51And I'm proud of her.
38:52She came all the way from Africa for you.
38:53Yes.
38:54Oh, that's nice.
38:56APPLAUSE
38:57We 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, cos if they win it, we can only afford one car for me and Mum to share home.
39:08What a nightmare.
39:09See you in a bit, guys.
39:10CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
39:13Welcome back to the Parents' Evening Christmas Special, where some parents are so disappointed in their offspring, you'd have thought they'd have married Meghan Markle.
39:32LAUGHTER
39:34Josh and Tom, while making it through to the final, you have secured your prize for charity. How much have they made, Mum?
39:39£4,750.
39:41Nice.
39:42APPLAUSE
39:45But, succeeding this round, we will double that, bringing the total to what, Mum?
39:49£9,505.
39:51Wow!
39:52CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
39:56Here is how it works.
39:57You're going to see a board of 12 possible answers, but only five of them are correct.
40:01To double your jackpot, all you have to do is identify all five.
40:04If you pick three wrong answers, I'm afraid you lose a round, but you do leave with your original 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, I'm going to go with Christmas Adverts.
40:25Christmas Adverts.
40:27Josh and Tom, for the last time, let's play Parents Evening!
40:31APPLAUSE
40:33APPLAUSE
40:36APPLAUSE
40:38Josh, how happy are you with the category that your dad's chosen?
40:42I've chosen the same, but they're all tough.
40:45OK.
40:46What you have to do is you've got to name five titles of John Lewis Christmas Adverts, OK?
40:52Here are the possible answers.
40:55The Owl and the Pussycat.
40:57The Bear and the Hare.
40:59The Ass and the Beaver.
41:01Monty the Python.
41:03Moz the Monster.
41:05Romesh the Reindeer.
41:07The Space Oddity.
41:09The Lightning Rod.
41:11The Man on the Moon.
41:12Buster the Boxer.
41:14The Red Herring.
41:16And Edgar the Dragon.
41:18OK.
41:19So, 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?
41:27Er, you're...you're correct there.
41:29LAUGHTER
41:37So, Josh, what are you thinking?
41:39I remember the Bear and the Hare.
41:41That's a bear that's asleep in a cave and the hare buys it a...
41:45alarm 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?
41:55That is correct.
41:56APPLAUSE
41:58Well done.
41:59What are you going for next?
42:00Any ones that you're certain of?
42:02Yeah.
42:03I remember Moz the Monster being on sale in John the Lewis.
42:06John the Lewis?
42:07LAUGHTER
42:08That's...that's what you call it when you come into money.
42:13LAUGHTER
42:14I'll just pop it over to John the Lewis.
42:17LAUGHTER
42:21So, Moz the Monster was in John the Lewis.
42:24OK, let's lock in Moz the Monster.
42:26Was Moz the Monster in Christmas ad?
42:31Yes, it was.
42:33APPLAUSE
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.
42:50Is the Man on the Moon a genuine John Lewis Christmas ad?
42:54It is!
42:55Well done.
42:56APPLAUSE
42:57OK, two to get.
42:58Yeah, I think there's one about a boxer dog that 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!
43:21Right.
43:22Right.
43:23So, we 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, cos that's a children's story.
43:34So, 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, cos that's a joke in itself, right?
43:50Yeah.
43:51So, 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.
44:11I'm sorry, the Lightning Rod is, er...
44:14It's actually a manscaping style, according to Wilkinson Sword.
44:18LAUGHTER
44:19OK.
44:21So, 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.
44:35I agree.
44:37Monty the Python.
44:39OK, let's lock in Monty the Python.
44:41Is 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.
45:03Yeah.
45:04If 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.
45:13Oh.
45:14So, thank you, Tom.
45:17Let's lock in Edgar the Dragon.
45:18Is Edgar the Dragon a genuine Christmas ad?
45:21For Christmas, come on.
45:22No!
45:23No!
45:24No!
45:25No!
45:26Congratulations!
45:27You doubled your jackpot to £9,500!
45:29What charity have you done that in the money to?
45:32The Lilly Foundation, which is a small charity that helps children with mitochondrial disease and families that are affected by it.
45:37Fantastic cause.
45:38Give it up for Josh and Tom.
45:39That is all for tonight.
45:40Thank you to my guests, Morsi and Dudu Mamusi, George and Larry Lamb, and Josh and Tom Winnikam.
45:50Thank you so much for watching.
45:51that are affected by it.
45:52A fantastic applause. Give it up for Josh and Tom.
45:54APPLAUSE
45:56That is all for tonight. Thank you to my guests,
45:58Morsi and Dudu Mamusi, George and Larry Lamb,
46:01and Josh and Tom Widdicombe.
46:04Thank you so much for watching.
46:06Now you've enjoyed this family spending time together,
46:08you can go back to ignoring yours.
46:09Have a great Christmas. Say goodbye, Mum.
46:11Bye-bye, everybody. Merry Christmas.
