00:00Hey everyone, welcome along to a brand new week on House of Games.
00:12How lovely to have you here.
00:14How lovely also to have four famous faces with me.
00:16It's going to be a fun week this week.
00:18Somebody at the end of the week, no idea who, is going to win this awful, awful trophy.
00:24Who is it going to be?
00:26It'll be one of these four.
00:27We have today Hamed and Nimrshan.
00:30We have Lorna Watson.
00:33We have Adam Buxton.
00:36And we have Lisa Snowden.
00:39Hi everybody, lovely to have you here.
00:41Hamed, so nice to have you here.
00:43Now your partner in crime, Bemisola from Black Ops, she came on.
00:47She did not win.
00:48She said however, I'll tell you someone who will win, Hamed.
00:51Did she say that?
00:52She did, yeah.
00:52Okay.
00:52She's really thrown you under the bus.
00:54Yeah, she really has.
00:55Are you a good quizzer?
00:56I like a good quiz.
00:57I like a good quiz.
00:58Uh-oh.
00:58Uh-oh everybody.
00:59Uh-oh, indeed.
01:00Seat one as well, leaving from the front.
01:03Lorna.
01:04Yes.
01:04Lorna.
01:05Are you a good quizzer?
01:06Are you competitive?
01:07Unjustifiably competitive, I would say.
01:09I have very slow reflexes and I normally doubt everything I've ever known.
01:14Literally perfect House of Games bait.
01:16Feeling pumped.
01:17Yeah.
01:18Feeling positive.
01:19Listen, we're all feeling pumped.
01:20Adam Buxton.
01:21Hello.
01:22Actor, comedian, writer, the greatest podcaster of this generation.
01:27A quizzer?
01:28Well, no.
01:29Well, no.
01:30Great.
01:31Well, listen, you can't be everything, can you?
01:32I'm incredibly ignorant.
01:33My memory's going.
01:35But I am competitive, so it's a nightmare combination.
01:38Oh, my God, this is great.
01:39I tell you what, if Lisa is competitive as well, we've got a real ding-dong battle.
01:43Lisa, are you competitive?
01:44I am a little bit.
01:45Yes, here we go.
01:46Weirdly, though, because it's unjustifiable, the same as Lorna said.
01:48It's like I'm not very good at quizzing.
01:50Oh, my God, this is going to be great.
01:52So, I'm like, why am I here?
01:53How am I here?
01:54But I'm excited.
01:55I think it's going to be fun.
01:56I'll tell you exactly why you're here.
01:57Firstly, for the trophy, but secondly, for a daily prize.
01:59Shall we take a look at today's daily prizes?
02:01Yes.
02:01Whoever wins today wins one of these.
02:04There is the House of Games hoodie, the House of Games chopping board,
02:08the House of Games cafetiere, the House of Games sports bag,
02:10and the House of Games fondue set.
02:12Lisa, which would you go for if you were to win?
02:15Thinking the hoodie.
02:16Yeah, I can see that.
02:17Yeah, I quite like that.
02:17A little bit of merch, like, rocking that day-to-day.
02:20Rocking a bit of merch.
02:22Finally, someone said it.
02:23Adam, what would you go for?
02:25I need the salt and pepper shakers.
02:26Why are there no salt and pepper shakers?
02:28Listen, the week is young.
02:30That's what I've been instructed to bring back to Norfolk.
02:33But, no, from those, sports bag.
02:35Beautiful.
02:36Sports bag.
02:37Yeah, easy.
02:37Lorna?
02:38There's nothing there that I don't desperately want.
02:40Yes, so, yeah.
02:41I would go, well, fondue or the bag, I'm afraid.
02:45I also, I would like that.
02:47We're going to be fighting for the bag.
02:48Fondue or bag.
02:49Listen, we'll talk again if you win.
02:50Sure.
02:51And we can have a proper, long, like, 25-minute conversation.
02:53We can decide.
02:55Hamid?
02:56I like the look of that chopping board.
02:57There we go.
02:58I want that chopping board.
02:59See, straight in.
02:59You see, absolutely no messing about.
03:01No messing about.
03:02Listen, every time I press this buzzer,
03:03a new round comes up, I never know what it's going to be.
03:05You never know what it's going to be.
03:06Shall we get on and play our first game?
03:08Let's do it.
03:08This week's House of Games, our first game is...
03:11Sounds like...
03:14Fingers on buzzers, please, everybody.
03:16I'm going to show you a category.
03:17Our first category this week is Alfred Hitchcock films.
03:21I'm going to show you some pictures.
03:23If you tell me what's in the pictures,
03:24it will spell out an Alfred Hitchcock film.
03:26But which film?
03:27That is Hamid.
03:38Marnie?
03:38Marnie?
03:39It is Marnie.
03:40Well done.
03:41Andrew Marr, Anna Nii.
03:42Marnie.
03:44Next Hitchcock movie.
03:51Yes, Adam.
03:52North by Northwest.
03:53North by Northwest.
03:54It is Adam.
03:55Nicely done.
03:56That is Jordan North, somebody waving bye,
03:59and Dominic West at the end there.
04:01Next Hitchcock film.
04:07Yes, Hamid?
04:09Two birds?
04:10It's incorrect, I'm afraid.
04:12Adam.
04:13The birds.
04:13The birds I was looking for.
04:15Sorry, Hamid.
04:15No, no.
04:16Let's forget Hitchcock movies for now.
04:20Not historically, just for the quiz.
04:22And move on to modes of transport.
04:25Which modes of transport are these?
04:27Hamid?
04:34I'm really looking forward to this answer.
04:37Payblade?
04:38Payblade?
04:38That's not a mode of transport, though.
04:40I don't know why I said that.
04:41Yeah, I've got the app.
04:42I've got my Payblade on.
04:43Yeah, yeah.
04:44I'm going to like you, Payblade.
04:47Nobody fancy it?
04:49Adam.
04:50I mean rollerblades?
04:52No, that's nothing to do with roller, though.
04:54The car.
04:54No, unless they're buying a roller.
04:56It is not rollerblades.
04:57It's not a blade.
04:58Shall I tell you what it is?
05:00That's a sickle.
05:01Oh.
05:02Anybody fancy it?
05:04Bicycle.
05:04Yeah, bicycle.
05:05Lorna.
05:06Bicycle.
05:07Bicycle is absolutely right.
05:09Beautiful.
05:09Buying something is a sickle.
05:10Bicycle.
05:12Which mode of transport is this, please?
05:19Yes, Hamad.
05:20Tricycle.
05:21Tricycle?
05:21It is a tricycle.
05:23Very well done.
05:24A rugby try and a sickle.
05:26Now we know that's a sickle.
05:27Yeah.
05:28Feels like I cheated.
05:29Yeah.
05:30If you buzzed in and said ball blade, I would have given you a point.
05:33I almost did.
05:35Next mode of transport.
05:40Yes, Hamad.
05:41Racing car?
05:42Is absolutely right.
05:43Very well done.
05:45That's Ray, the singer.
05:46That's Ranbir Singh.
05:47And Alan Carr, racing car.
05:48Next category.
05:50Children's authors.
05:51Who are these children's authors?
05:57Lorna.
05:58Roald Dahl.
05:59Roald Dahl.
05:59Yes.
06:00It is a Roald Dahl.
06:02Roald Dahl.
06:04Next one.
06:09Yes, Lisa.
06:10Hands Christian Anderson.
06:11Yes.
06:11Finally!
06:12Lisa Snowden.
06:13Well done.
06:13That's the worst!
06:15Everybody is off the mark.
06:16It's exactly how we like it.
06:17Some hands.
06:18Christian Bale and Gillian Anderson.
06:20Final question in this round.
06:23Who is this?
06:27Yes, Adam.
06:28C.S. Lewis.
06:29C.S. Lewis.
06:30It is.
06:31Well done.
06:32There's the C.
06:33There's the band, yes.
06:34And there's Lewis Hamilton.
06:35C.S. Lewis.
06:37It's the end of our first round.
06:38That was OK, wasn't it?
06:39That's not bad.
06:39Could have been worse.
06:40Yeah.
06:40Everyone's got points.
06:42That's how we like to see it.
06:42Our first leaderboard looks like this.
06:47Lisa, you have one.
06:49Lorna's got two.
06:50Adam and Hamid.
06:51Three points each.
06:52APPLAUSE
06:52I like they've given you a hat, Adam, on your...
06:56I'm looking very nautical there.
06:58That's good.
06:59Yeah, you look like you've seen too many things in the depths.
07:05Oh, it's true.
07:07Shall we play our first Pairs game of the week?
07:09It is going to be...
07:13Distinctly average.
07:14Lisa, you find yourself in fourth place presently,
07:17so you get to choose your partner.
07:18Who would you like to play with?
07:19Oh, OK.
07:19I'm going to go...
07:21Adam.
07:22You're going to play with Adam.
07:23Adam and Lisa are a team.
07:24Lorna and Hamid, you're a team.
07:25If you would take your tablets out, please, everybody.
07:27I'm going to ask you some questions.
07:30You need to write me down a number as your answer,
07:32and I'll take the average of each pair as their answer.
07:35Whichever team is closest to the real answer scores a point.
07:38Here's your first question.
07:41From April 2023 to March 2024,
07:44how many people in Great Britain
07:45passed their practical car driving test with zero faults?
07:50Hmm.
07:51What do we think about that?
07:54Anyone at home just about to take their driving test?
07:57Good luck from us all.
08:02Everybody is in.
08:03Let's find out our answers.
08:04Hamid, any idea on this one?
08:06No idea.
08:07Yeah.
08:09Why not, right?
08:10In a year.
08:10Might as well be.
08:11It's a number.
08:12It's a number.
08:13Yeah.
08:132,500.
08:14It says Hamid.
08:15Lorna, up or down from that?
08:16I just want to say I do lack logic.
08:18Great.
08:19As a general rule.
08:19And I've gone high.
08:21OK.
08:22I've gone 142,000.
08:24That is, that's definitely higher than 2,500, isn't it?
08:26It's loads.
08:28140.
08:28That's a lot of people with zero faults.
08:30But, you know, genuinely, who knows?
08:32And your average, we have 72,250.
08:35Adam, where are you?
08:36Was 10,000.
08:37Scaled it back a little bit.
08:395,000, says Adam.
08:40And Lisa?
08:41I was kind of similar range to Hamid.
08:44I thought, perhaps...
08:453,000.
08:463,000.
08:46What was I thinking?
08:47OK.
08:48So your average is 4,000.
08:49Lorna, you're what we call an outlier, which is the most interesting place to be in the world.
08:54It's the thing, actually, that tells the story of our world, much more than just a boring average.
08:59So our averages are 72,000 and 4,000.
09:02What do you think at home on this one?
09:04Let's find out, shall we, how many past two scored the first point?
09:0938,000.
09:11Hamid and Lorna get the point.
09:12So much higher.
09:13Yes.
09:14Wow.
09:15Total, there were 1.9 million tests and only 38,000 got zero faults.
09:20That's pretty good, isn't it?
09:22Lorna, you absolutely aced that by dragging Hamid up.
09:25Thank you very much.
09:26See, that's teamwork, isn't it?
09:29Give me an answer to this, please.
09:31In metres, how long was the world's longest noodle created in China in 2017?
09:38And that is according to our good friends at the Guinness World Records.
09:41Adam Buxton, what are you saying?
09:52Well, I'm thinking if you're going to build a long noodle, build it really long, 150,000 metres.
09:59150,000 metres.
10:01I mean, look at that wall.
10:02That is, that is, that's true.
10:03Yeah.
10:04That's true.
10:04If you judge them by their walls.
10:06Yeah.
10:06That's 93 miles.
10:08Yes.
10:09That is.
10:09That's right.
10:10That's a big old noodle, but we know it's big because it's the biggest ever.
10:14Yeah.
10:15Lisa, please don't say you've got more than 93 miles.
10:16I definitely haven't got more.
10:18I've got much, much less, but I thought that's still a decent-sized noodle.
10:21Oh, yeah, that's a decent-sized noodle.
10:221,000 metres.
10:221,000 metres, yeah.
10:24Yeah.
10:24Your average is 75,500 metres.
10:28Okay.
10:29So, what's that?
10:29I apologise, Lisa.
10:30About 47 miles, 47-mile-long noodle.
10:33That's a long noodle.
10:34Hamid, this is a long noodle.
10:35That's a long noodle.
10:36What were you saying?
10:37I said 314 metres.
10:39314 metres, yeah, about 1,000 feet.
10:42Yeah.
10:43It's a more sane answer.
10:46Lorna, wherever you are.
10:47Yeah, well, I got a bit scared by my last answer, so I've gone the other way.
10:52Uh-oh.
10:52Also, noodles break, guys.
10:54They break.
10:55Yeah.
10:56I've gone 74.
10:5774 metres.
10:59Your average, 194 metres.
11:02So, we have 194 metres, or we have 47 miles.
11:06Let's find out, shall we?
11:07How long was the world's longest noodle?
11:113,084.
11:133,084.
11:14That's long, isn't it?
11:15That's a long noodle.
11:15This is so long.
11:17That's nearly two miles.
11:18I can't believe it.
11:19That's too long for a noodle.
11:21It's not 90 miles.
11:22It's not 90 miles, though.
11:22Final question in this round.
11:25How many...
11:25Here we go.
11:27How many field voles are there in the UK, I wonder?
11:32According to the wildlife trusts, who we must trust.
11:38What do we think?
11:40I'm not sure I'd recognise one if I saw one.
11:42I'm sure there are voles in London, just not the London that I live in.
11:46Yeah, and also, there's no fields.
11:48Well, there's that too.
11:49OK, everybody's in.
11:51What do you think?
11:52How many field voles are there in the UK?
11:55I feel like there's, on all three of these questions, there's been absolutely nowhere to get any sort of handhold.
12:00Mm-mm.
12:01Lorna, what have you said?
12:0372,000.
12:04I can see it.
12:06I made any idea on this one.
12:08I said 22,000.
12:0922,000.
12:10OK.
12:11I bet you're both happy somewhere in the middle of that.
12:13Yeah.
12:14It doesn't seem unreasonable.
12:14Your average is 47,000 field voles.
12:19Lisa.
12:19I've got really high.
12:20Uh-oh.
12:21I'm just imagining all the fields in the UK just swarming with voles because of all the kites and we've got buzzards and I'm just thinking that that's what they want to eat.
12:30OK.
12:31So, I've got really high, really high, sorry, Adam. I've gone for, like, literally.
12:34You go for it.
12:35Vol city.
12:36Half a million.
12:37Adam, where are you?
12:38I've dragged you down a little.
12:4025,000.
12:4125k.
12:41OK. So, your average will be something over a quarter of a million.
12:45So, we have a difference of opinion in the studio.
12:47So far, Hammond and Lorna have won both points in this round.
12:49Are they going to go three out of three?
12:51Have Adam and Lisa scored a point?
12:53How many field voles are there in the UK?
12:56Whoa!
12:57Wow.
12:57Yeah.
12:5875 million.
13:0175 million?
13:02Don't.
13:02Field voles.
13:03So many voles.
13:04There are more field voles in the UK than there are humans.
13:07Oh, my God.
13:08That's ridiculous.
13:09Wow.
13:10That's outrageous.
13:10And they're nicer.
13:12Yeah.
13:12Yeah.
13:13That's the end of the round.
13:14Very well done, Adam and Lisa.
13:15We're getting the final point there.
13:17Tablets away, please, everyone.
13:19Our next leaderboard looks like there's such good news for field voles.
13:23Yeah.
13:23Such good news.
13:25Lisa, you have two.
13:26Adam and Lorna, you have four each.
13:28Hammond is our leader with five.
13:31Nice.
13:31Nice position to be in.
13:33Three rounds to go.
13:34Our next round today is...
13:35Games House Of.
13:40Now, in this round, you have to give your answers in alphabetical order.
13:43So, like, my name would be Osman Richard.
13:47Okay?
13:47Okay.
13:48Buzzers fingers on.
13:50Here's your first question.
13:51Oh, that was too quick.
13:52Who was the long-time comedy partner of Stan Laurel?
14:00Yes, Lorna.
14:02Hardy Oliver.
14:04Hardy Oliver.
14:06It is Oliver.
14:07Hardy becomes Hardy Oliver.
14:09Next clue.
14:10Which cartoon detective known for being equipped with high-tech contraptions
14:14has a nemesis called Dr Claw?
14:19Yes, Lorna.
14:20Oh, Gadget Inspector.
14:22Gadget Inspector.
14:24It is Gadget Inspector, which also sounds like a website.
14:28Next question.
14:29What is the name of this landmark?
14:33Yes, Hamid.
14:35Albert Hall Royal.
14:37Albert Hall Royal.
14:38Nicely played.
14:40It is the Royal Albert Hall.
14:41It comes to Albert Hall Royal.
14:43Next question.
14:44Give me the answer in alphabetical order, please.
14:46What is the title, please, of this song?
14:50Whoa, Hamid.
14:52No!
14:54I mean, it felt premature.
14:57Oh, um, no.
14:59Nope.
15:00What time is this?
15:00That's too much.
15:02Lisa.
15:04Go.
15:06You're.
15:07Incorrect.
15:08I'm afraid.
15:09Lorna.
15:10Go own your way.
15:13Incorrect as well, I'm afraid.
15:15Oh, no.
15:19Can.
15:21Incorrect as well.
15:24I think we all know the song.
15:25Yeah.
15:26You have to swap around the way and the your.
15:28Oh, yeah, it's too late now.
15:29I like you trying to buzz in again.
15:30That's so strange.
15:31I mean, statistically, we've had every single combination of words it could be.
15:35Um, let's take a listen.
15:37Was it Go Own Where You're?
15:41Absolutely right.
15:42Oh, that was it.
15:45By Fleetwood Mac.
15:46Next question.
15:47Daniel Day-Lewis won a Best Actor Oscar for playing Daniel Plainview in which 2007 film?
15:56Yes, Lorna.
15:57Foot left my?
15:58No.
15:58Incorrect, I'm afraid.
16:00Nice alphabeticalising, though.
16:01Yes, Hamid.
16:03No, sorry.
16:04No.
16:05Adam.
16:06Be blood.
16:12There will.
16:14Correct.
16:15Very well done.
16:16Be blood, there will.
16:17There will be blood.
16:18Be blood, there will.
16:20Answer me this, please.
16:22Which song from Evita was a UK top five hit in 1996 for Madonna?
16:29Lorna, good luck.
16:32Cry.
16:32Argentina.
16:35Oh, incorrect, apparently.
16:36Oh, what?
16:36I was like, yeah, yeah, because I obviously don't know the answer either.
16:40Argentina.
16:41Yes, there you go.
16:42That's a mistake Lorna and I both made.
16:43Cry.
16:45Don't.
16:48For me.
16:49Yeah.
16:50Correct, Hamid.
16:51Very well done.
16:55Final question in this round.
16:56Which TV outtake show presented by Dennis Norden was first broadcast in 1977?
17:05Yes, Lorna, good luck.
17:07All right.
17:11It's...
17:12Incorrect.
17:13Right, Adam.
17:14All right.
17:17Be.
17:18Oh.
17:20Ittle.
17:22Night.
17:24On the.
17:26Oh, that's very good, Adam.
17:28It'll be all right on the night becomes what you just said.
17:31Very nicely played indeed.
17:33That is the end of that round.
17:35Let's take a look at what is done to the leaderboards.
17:37Alisa, you have two.
17:42Adam, you've got six.
17:43Lorna, you've got six.
17:44Hamid, still just out in the lead.
17:46There were seven.
17:47Six.
17:47Close for two rounds to go.
17:49Very close.
17:50We knew it was going to be competitive.
17:51Some good quizzing going on here from everybody.
17:53Our next round is...
17:57Where is Kazakhstan?
18:00If you take your tablets out, I'm going to show you a map.
18:05Here is today's map.
18:07Our old friend, Europe.
18:10Now, I need you to find a series of things, please, on that map.
18:12The first thing I'd like you to find is...
18:14The main setting of the Shakespeare play that features Antonio and Shylock.
18:20And whoever gets closest to that will score a point.
18:23What do you think at home?
18:24What would you go for?
18:25Do you know the answer?
18:25Do you know where that place is?
18:27Everyone is in.
18:38Hamid, what are you thinking?
18:39First of all, I was like, is it Italy?
18:42But then I was like, where's Italy?
18:44Yes.
18:45I should know where Italy is.
18:46Yeah, work on my geography.
18:48Let's see where you are.
18:49Oh, you're in Sicily.
18:50I'm in Sicily.
18:51Yeah, that's Italy.
18:52But whether that's right or not...
18:53Oh, yeah, yeah, but it doesn't matter.
18:54It doesn't matter.
18:55You've proved you know where Italy is.
18:56Lorna, what were you thinking here?
18:58I was searching for Verona.
19:00But I don't know where Verona is, so I've gone there.
19:03Also in Italy, though.
19:04Very close.
19:05Adam, what were you thinking here?
19:06I think one of those guys is a merchant from Venice.
19:09Oh!
19:10But where's Venice?
19:10Romeo and Juliet.
19:11Yeah.
19:13So where's Venice is the question here.
19:15I don't think Venice is there.
19:17Sort of northern Italy.
19:18So we're all in Italy.
19:19Yeah.
19:19Lisa, are you in Italy?
19:20I'm in Italy too, just simply because it's Antonio and I was just like,
19:24it has to be...
19:24Oh, yeah.
19:25...Italian.
19:26But I don't know Shylock, so I was aiming for...
19:29..that area too.
19:31Yeah, just sort of north of Rome.
19:32That's nice, though.
19:33We're all in Italy.
19:34It is the merchant of Venice, Adam.
19:36Absolutely right.
19:37So the question really is where is Venice and who is closest.
19:40Let's find out.
19:41Where is Venice?
19:44Adam and Lisa, I'm going to give you both a point there.
19:46You're both very, very close.
19:48You're seven pixels apart from each other there in northern Italy, Venice.
19:52Next one.
19:55The birthplace of the creator of the Smurfs.
19:59Which I think was also Shakespeare.
20:01I could be wrong.
20:09Oh, I'm reaching.
20:11Yeah.
20:12Everyone's in.
20:14Lorna, what was your thinking about where the creator might have come from?
20:16Well, somewhere cold, because they're blue.
20:19Oh, that's clever.
20:21You're in sort of Copenhagen-y type of area.
20:23Adam, what are you thinking?
20:24I am a bit further up, front of the alien head there.
20:28Yeah.
20:29Norway.
20:30Are they called the Strumpfs?
20:32That's the original name for them.
20:34That is good knowledge.
20:35But I don't know if that's a Norwegian Strumpf.
20:38I mean, it's not going to be a Spanish Strumpf, is it?
20:41No.
20:42It's maybe German, though.
20:43I don't know.
20:43OK.
20:44Or Belgian.
20:45Yeah, maybe.
20:46Lisa, what are you thinking?
20:47Yeah, I was thinking Scandi as well.
20:50So it's like Schmuff, yeah.
20:51I was thinking, like, the Schmuffs.
20:53So I've gone a little bit higher up than Adam.
20:57You're Norway as well.
20:58Hamid, what are you thinking?
21:00Well, I didn't go north.
21:01I'll tell you that.
21:02I'll tell you that.
21:04I went south.
21:08So, middle of Germany.
21:09Yeah.
21:10Which Adam was thinking about as well.
21:12This is not going to help at all.
21:14It was created by a man called Pierre Culliford.
21:16I mean, maybe French.
21:18Maybe, I mean, it could be from anywhere, right?
21:20Yeah.
21:21Pierre, you've got to give us more clues than that.
21:22Let's find out where was the creator of the Smurfsborn?
21:25Who scored a point?
21:27Belgium.
21:28Brussels in Belgium.
21:29Hamid, you get a point.
21:30What?
21:31That's it.
21:33Final question in this round.
21:34Could you find me this, I wonder?
21:36Songhai Avi, the location of the annual World Wife Carrying Championships.
21:43Where is that?
21:52What do you think at home on this one?
21:54Where would you go?
21:57Everyone is in.
21:59Adam Buxton, what are you thinking here?
22:01Not that much.
22:02OK, great.
22:04Welcome to the show.
22:05Almost no thoughts.
22:06I've gone for the bit up above the UK over to the east there.
22:13What they, I think, in their own country call Iceland.
22:16I was thinking the two dots above the A.
22:18What do you call those?
22:19Oh, yeah, like an umlaut.
22:21Umlaut.
22:22Yeah.
22:22That sounded a bit Bjork-y to me.
22:24It sounds quite Icelandic, doesn't it?
22:25Yeah.
22:26It looks like a Sugar Ross single.
22:27Good call.
22:28Lisa, what were you thinking?
22:29I wanted to go Iceland.
22:31I've put it in the wrong place.
22:32OK.
22:33But kind of up in those kind of areas, because of those little dots again above the A, it
22:38just makes it sound really...
22:40Icelandic.
22:41Icelandic and just, yeah, I can imagine them doing something like that there as well.
22:44Oh, I can imagine it.
22:45You're at the top of Norway.
22:46Yeah.
22:47At the top of Norway.
22:47I was stuck with Norway for the time.
22:48Hamed, what were you thinking?
22:50I'd put it over there.
22:51Over there?
22:52Yeah.
22:54Denmark?
22:54Denmark, yeah.
22:56Lorna, what do you think on this?
22:57North again.
22:58Yes.
22:59Where they love to carry.
23:02Oh, they love to carry.
23:03They love to marry and carry.
23:05Exactly.
23:06So, yeah, just below, Lisa.
23:08You're sort of, yes, Sweden.
23:10So, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland.
23:13We've really gone round the houses there.
23:15What do you think at home?
23:16Shall we find out where the World Wife Carrying Championships is held and who scored a point?
23:20It is in Finland, is the answer.
23:25We went everywhere else apart from Finland.
23:27Lorna, you're the closest.
23:28Did you get a point?
23:29Well done.
23:30Very well done at home if you said Finland.
23:33They do all sorts of those things in Finland.
23:34They do, like, the World Air Guitar Championships and stuff like that.
23:37I think that the days are quite short.
23:40Yes.
23:40I think there's, you know, they need to entertain themselves.
23:43Tablets away, please, everyone.
23:44One round to go before we find our first champion of the week.
23:48And our leaderboard looks like this.
23:50Still close.
23:53Lisa, you have three.
23:54Adam and Lorna, seven points each.
23:56Hamid, he's still got that one-point lead.
23:57Eight points.
23:58It's holding on to it.
23:59Holding on to it.
24:00It's holding on to it.
24:00It's holding on to it.
24:02Our final round, as always, is...
24:07Answer smash.

26:19Jump in my car seat.
26:21Jump in my car.
26:22That's Hasselhoff.
26:23Car seat, jump in my car seat.
26:24Any more?
26:25No more today.
26:27Interesting.
26:28Hamid had that lead.
26:28He threw a couple of points away, though.
26:30Yeah.
26:30In that round.
26:31But listen, it bodes well for the rest of the week.
26:33Amen.
26:33You've got to be confident on the buzzer.

27:21Congratulations, Adam.
27:23That took it out of you, didn't it?

27:27That took everything, Adam.
27:28Congrats.
27:29You've won a prize.
27:30Oh, yes.
27:31How about that?
27:32Which of these would you like?
27:33I mean, the thing is...
27:34Have you changed your mind?
27:35Yeah, I have changed my mind, because I thought, Hamid's right.
27:38That is a beautiful chopping board.
27:40Yeah.
27:42That's what I'm going to go for.
27:43You're going to go chopping board.

27:59That's great quizzing from everybody.
28:00Super close, super competitive, and a tie-break.
