00:00MUSIC
00:18Welcome to Ridiculous, the ridiculously clever show,
00:22where three teams of riddle solvers take on our devious riddle master.
00:26Hello, Henry. Hi, Ravi.
00:28Now, Henry, I feel pretty pleased with myself these days
00:31because I've been analysing the riddles
00:33and I feel like I'm getting better at them.
00:35Well, I tell you what, let's put that to the test.
00:37Oh, OK. With a riddle, straight away.
00:38Go on, then.
00:39OK, I'm a bushy kind of pig,
00:41but don't give me a tickle as I can be a little prickly.
00:46What am I?
00:48Right. It's making me want to tickle you immediately,
00:50and I don't know why. We can't.
00:51It specifically says you're not allowed.
00:53I'm not allowed to tickle the riddle master.
00:55Oh, no.
00:56Now that you've said it, I desperately want to tickle you.
00:58Right. I don't know the answer to the riddle,
00:59but I'm going to think about it.
01:01Let's meet today's teams.
01:03Who's with us today?
01:05I'm Ben. This is my mate, Sarah, and we live in Manchester.
01:08I'm Tracy. This is my husband, Warren, and we live in Lincolnshire.
01:11I'm Lucy. This is my husband, Sean, and we're from London.
01:14Super to have you all with us.
01:16Now, apart from me wanting to desperately tickle the riddle master,
01:19which is against all the protocols here, frankly.
01:22Indeed.
01:23Right, go on. Run that riddle by us again.
01:24I'm a bushy kind of pig, but don't give me a tickle
01:27as I can be a little prickly.
01:29Yeah.
01:30Any ideas?
01:31Who's got it?
01:32Oh, a few hands up.
01:33Let's have Tracy. What do you think?
01:34Hedgehog.
01:35Tracy, hedgehog is absolutely right.
01:37Yeah, hedgehogs are prickly, and of course, yeah, they're small pigs.
01:40They're not really small pigs, are they?
01:42No, is it the hog bit?
01:43Yeah, hog, exactly. Hog is the relation.
01:45Hang on.
01:46The riddle master thinks hedgehogs are tiny pigs, people.
01:49This just in.
01:50Hedgehog the pigs.
01:51A reclassification.
01:53No, they're not.
01:54They're not pigs at all.
01:55They're too small and they're too prickly.
01:57I'll tell you what, you stick to the riddles,
01:58I'll do the general knowledge.
01:59Should we do that?
02:00Good idea.
02:01I'll be buzzing in.
02:02Pig.
02:03Brilliant stuff.
02:04Right, so, let me tell you how this is going to work.
02:07You're going to face a series of riddles from Henry,
02:10and in order to unlock each riddle,
02:13you'll first have to correctly answer three general knowledge questions.
02:17Now, in this round, the questions from me...
02:20Well, in this round, the riddles are the easiest you're going to face
02:22throughout the whole game, so you don't want to be getting them wrong.
02:24To one team at the end of this round, so every question is important.
02:30Are you ready for some general knowledge?
02:32Yes.
02:33Super stuff.
02:34Hands by the buzzers.
02:35Let's play.
02:36Correct.
02:37The first £25 of the game to Tracey and Warren.
02:41Performed by the Rembrandts, the theme song of which US,
02:45Lucian Sean, which England cricketer hit a record 34th test century?
02:51Tracey and Warren?
02:52Joe Root.
02:53Yes.
02:54Well done.
02:55Tracey and Warren, you're already just one correct answer away
02:58from unlocking the first riddle.
03:00What does the letter...
03:02Lucy and Sean?
03:03Emissions.
03:04Correct.
03:05In and around London, of course, you, Les,
03:08it stands for the ultra-low emissions zone.
03:10Now, Lucy and Sean and Tracey and Warren,
03:12you're both just one correct answer away from facing the riddle master.
03:15What is the capital city of Sweden?
03:18Tracey and Warren?
03:20Stockholm.
03:21Yeah, everybody went for it, but Warren, you got in there.
03:24Well done.
03:25Tracey and Warren, welcome to the show properly.
03:27Hi.
03:28Hi, hi.
03:29It's lovely to have you here.
03:30Now, I know lots of people prepare for the show by practising quizzes.
03:34Tracey, you've got a novel way of preparing for the show.
03:37Get me straight through to the final.
03:38No, I'm afraid it doesn't.
03:40But we appreciate it.
03:42Right, what have you got for them?
03:44Because, of course, don't forget, Tracey and Warren,
03:46should you get stuck already, you could use a clue.
03:48You only get one through the game, though,
03:50so just think about when you want to use it.
03:52Here it comes.
03:53First riddle of the game.
03:54Good luck.
03:55I'm famous for my love affairs, so you'll always find me in mixed pairs.
03:59Where am I?
04:00Do you have any idea?
04:01I'm famous for my love affairs.
04:03Casanova?
04:04You'll always find me in...
04:05Where am I?
04:06So it's...
04:07We're after a place.
04:08I'm famous for my love affairs.
04:11Paris.
04:12You'll always find me in mixed pairs.
04:17Anagram of pairs.
04:18What are you thinking?
04:19Anagram of pairs.
04:20Which is...
04:21Paris.
04:22Oh!
04:23I'm famous for my love affairs, Paris.
04:25So you'll always find me in mixed pairs.
04:28Yes, so...
04:29Anagram of pairs.
04:30Paris.
04:31Brilliant.
04:32Where am I?
04:33We think it's Paris.
04:34Paris.
04:35It's the right answer.
04:36Well done.
04:37Paris, the city of love.
04:39And mixed pairs.
04:40Mixed being the anagram indicated there.
04:42Mixing up the word pairs.

05:22Lucy and Sean.
05:23Crochet.
05:24Yes.
05:25Well done.
05:26You've hooked yourself a face-to-face with the Riddle Master.
05:29Now, for those eagle-eyed amongst us, might we recognise you from somewhere?
05:33No.
05:3422 years.
05:35You've been an extra in EastEnders for over 20 years.
05:38And Lucy, you've been roped into this as well, haven't you?
05:40I know.
05:41Well, yes.
05:42So it was his nan had the extras agency, but it was like family only, but we got married
05:46and she was like, you know.
05:47Right, so come on, tell us where might we have seen you in Albert Square?
05:50Probably in the Vic.
05:51Yeah, I've been in the club.
05:52Lucy's only been inside in the cafe in the Vic.
05:54Just pretending to drink wine.
05:55I'm very good at it.
05:56Yeah.
05:57But you could catch me walking anywhere, really.
05:58Sometimes I just sit in the square.
06:00Yeah, and then I'll just get up and walk off.
06:03He's so good at it.
06:05That's amazing.
06:06These are my skills.
06:08I love it.
06:09So you've been extras?
06:10Yeah, like an ongoing 22-year story of your character.
06:13It'll be a great show for them.
06:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:16Yeah.
06:17Him and Ian Beal.
06:18Right, okay.
06:19Well, face the riddle master for the first time in the game.
06:20I'm always as good as my word.
06:22What am I?
06:23Leaf or in teeth.
06:25I can...
06:26In my element in bars.
06:28What's in bars?
06:29Element in bars.
06:30Or in teeth.
06:32What do you have in teeth?
06:33Enamel?
06:34Canine?
06:35Um...
06:36Fluoride.
06:37It's not going to be that.
06:38Do we need a clue?
06:40Te...
06:41Uh, yeah.
06:42Can we use our clue?
06:43You can.
06:44The clue is, I like to bring a bit of bling.
06:47I like to bring a bit of bling.
06:49Gold.
06:50There we go.
06:51Yes.
06:52Gold.
06:53Locking in gold.
06:54Yes, please.
06:55Very good.
06:56Yeah, of course.
06:57The clue was quite helpful there, I think.
06:58Yeah, of course.
06:59Gold leaf.
07:00Gold teeth.
07:01Gold is an element.
07:02And it's found in bars.
07:03Gold bullion.
07:04And, of course, good as your word is, yeah, good as gold.
07:05Yeah, well done.
07:06A good use of the clue early on, actually, I'd say.
07:08Well done.
07:09That's £100 to Lucy and Sean.
07:11So let's keep playing.
07:12Hands by the buzzers.
07:13Good luck.
07:14In a popular hymn, what two words precede the lyric?
07:19Amazing Grace.
07:20Yes, it is.
07:21Amazing Grace was correct.
07:23What term of the word prides?
07:27Tracy and Warren.
07:28Spider.
07:29Correct.
07:30What is the name of the spicy fermented cabbage dish?
07:35Lucy and Sean?
07:36Kimchi.
07:37Correct.
07:38That is considered a national food of South Korea.
07:41What term for a short, sudden movement is also the name of a popular live streaming platform?
07:50Ben and Sarah.
07:51Twitch.
07:52Correct.
07:54Ben and Sarah, you're off the ground.
07:56£25 in your prize pot.
07:57The entertainment staff of which UK holiday resort chain are known as Redcoats?
08:03Lucy and Sean?
08:04Butlins.
08:05Correct.
08:06Yes, lovely stuff.
08:07Well, you're pretty speedy with your general knowledge there, Lucy and Sean.
08:10So you've unlocked another riddle.
08:11Good luck.
08:12Here we go, Henry.
08:13As a member of a golf club, there's several of me on the course, but only one in a cart.
08:19I'm the one who will steer while you transport your gear.
08:23What am I?
08:24As a member of a golf club.
08:26As a member of a golf club.
08:27As a member of a golf club.
08:28There's several of me on a course.
08:30Okay, so like, caddy?
08:32I'm thinking a caddy.
08:33A caddy, but I don't know.
08:35A caddy seems...
08:36A caddy seems too easy.
08:38Um...
08:39But it makes the most sense for the last bit, but I'm not sure about the two and a half.
08:42It does.
08:43I'm the one who will steer you while you transport your gear.
08:47Um...
08:48I can't think of anything else other than caddy.
08:50Several of me on the course, though.
08:52I suppose there could be several caddies on the course, like for each people playing.
08:55Yeah, there would be.
08:56Do we have anything else on the course?
08:58Should we just...
08:59I think we should just go for caddy.
09:00I...
09:01Yeah.
09:02I don't think that's right, though.
09:03No.
09:04Okay, we're reluctantly going to go for a caddy.
09:05A caddy.
09:06Yes.
09:09Feeling confident about that answer?
09:11No.
09:12Not really, no.
09:15I'm afraid it's the wrong answer.
09:17Yeah.
09:18A bit too literal of an answer, really, for a riddle.
09:20And I think you kind of knew that, yeah.
09:21Yeah.
09:22Do either of the other teams have any ideas?
09:24Driver.
09:25Driver is the right answer.
09:26A very good answer, yeah.
09:27Of course, a member of the golf club.
09:28A driver is a type of golf club.
09:29There'll be several drivers on a golf course at any one time.
09:31But there'll only be one human driver driving the cart.
09:34And they, of course, will be steering.
09:36All right, no money added to any prize pots on that round.
09:39But let's keep playing.
09:40We have one more riddle left in the opening round.
09:42Good luck.
09:43In the chase, what is the name of the chaser nicknamed The Vixen?
09:49Lucy and Sean.
09:50Jenny.
09:51Can't take that.
09:52In the chase, what is the name of the chaser nicknamed The Vixen?
09:56Tracy and Warren.
09:57Jenny Ryan.
09:58That's correct.
09:59I need the full name.
10:00Jenny Ryan is correct.
10:02Boston is the capital city of which US state?
10:05Tracy and Warren.
10:07Massachusetts.
10:08OK, Tracy and Warren, one away from unlocking the final riddle of this round.
10:13And the family in Peter Pan.
10:15Tracy and Warren.
10:17Brilliant.
10:18You'll be lucky as you face the riddle master.
10:19Let's see.
10:20Here we go.
10:21These pre-tax earnings are absolutely disgusting.
10:25What are they?
10:27I think I know it.
10:29Another word for disgusting.
10:32I've got no clue.
10:33You've got net profits, you've got gross profits.
10:36Oh, gross profits.
10:37So gross is another word for disgusting, which is pre-tax.
10:41Yeah, gross profits.
10:42So we'll say gross.
10:43Yeah.
10:44Yeah.
10:45What are they, gross?
10:46Grosser.
10:47These pre-tax earnings are absolutely disgusting.
10:49What are they, gross?
10:50Yeah, perfect.
10:51Our answer is gross.
10:52Gross.
10:57It's the right answer.
10:58Gross, yeah.
10:59Gross is disgusting and also, yeah, your pre-tax earnings.
11:02And Ben and Sarah, I'm afraid you only ended up with £25,
11:06which sadly means we will be saying goodbye.
11:09Ben and Sarah, are you friends?
11:11Yes, we are.
11:12Are you still friends?
11:14In the opening round here.
11:16Well, they're just...
11:17I like much more, you know, thought, interrogation.
11:20Right.
11:21Well, Ben and Sarah, I'm sorry we have to say goodbye,
11:23but goodbye it is.
11:25Thank you so much for being on the show.
11:26And that's it for part one.
11:28Henry, how about another riddle for the viewers to solve over the break?
11:31Here it comes.
11:32Our backs may be plain, but our faces can be ace.
11:35You'd better believe we can be up a sleeve,
11:37as being in tricks is part of our shtick.
11:40What are we?
11:41I'll give you the answer when we come back.
11:55Welcome back.
11:56Now, before the break, Henry, what was that riddle you set us?
11:58The riddle was, our backs may be plain, but our faces can be ace.
12:01You'd better believe we can be up a sleeve,
12:03as being in tricks is part of our shtick.
12:06What are we?
12:07Tracy, Warren, Lucy, Sean, any ideas?
12:10Playing card.
12:11Playing cards.
12:12Yeah, absolutely right.
12:13Of course, yeah, on the backs of playing cards, they'd be plain,
12:15all the same.
12:16Faces can be aces, of course.
12:17You'd better believe we can be up a sleeve.
12:19If someone's doing magic tricks, you might have a card up your sleeve,
12:21and being in tricks is part of our shtick.
12:23Of course, card tricks.
12:24Very well done.
12:25Thank you, Riddle Master.
12:27Now, teams, Tracy and Warren, Lucy and Sean,
12:30let's take a look at your prize pots as we enter this next round.
12:34So, Lucy and Sean, you have £300.
12:36Tracy and Warren, only four?
12:38You're ahead.
12:39Yeah, we've kind of relaxed into it a little bit.
12:41Good.
12:42OK, well, it is now time for round two.
12:44In this round, the questions are worth £50.
12:47Once again, you need three correct to unlock a riddle and the riddles.
12:53Well, these are my fun ones.
12:54I love these ones, Riddle Master.
12:55Explain.
12:56Yeah, so in this round, you're going to be facing visual riddles.
12:58So, as you might expect, they contain pictures,
13:00but also numbers, shapes and words as well.
13:02They're a little bit trickier than they were in the first round,
13:04but if you can get them right, they're worth £200 each.
13:07Now, only one member of your team will be able to answer the riddle,
13:11and you'll only have 60 seconds to get it right.
13:14Also, if you get your riddle wrong, it will then be handed over
13:18to the opposing team for a steal.
13:21But first, of course, you need to answer more general knowledge questions.
13:24So, if you're ready, hands by the buzzers.
13:26Let's play.
13:27Lucy and Sean.
13:37Mickey Mouse.

14:11Which former French international footballer was nicknamed Zizou?
14:16Tracey and Warren.
14:18Zinedine Zidane.
14:19Correct.
14:20Oh, Sean, you really went for it as well, didn't you?
14:22It's always Zidane.
14:23Yeah, very good.
14:24Well, you're very equally balanced here.
14:27Either one of you now could unlock the next riddle.
14:31First opened in 1865.
14:34The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation is better known today
14:38by what four-letter abbreviation?
14:41Lucy and Sean.

14:44Yes.
14:45Well done.
14:46Well done.
14:47OK, so Lucy and Sean.
14:49Only one of you can face this riddle.
14:52Let's take a look at the categories.
14:54So you've got pictures, numbers, or letters.
14:57Is there anything jumping out at you?
14:59Do you want to do the first one?
15:00OK.
15:01Er, yes.
15:02OK, I'll do the first one.
15:03I will...
15:04I'll go for pictures.

15:08Always.
15:09Ladies first.
15:10Thanks, Sean.
15:11All right.
15:12Pictures of tears for Lucy.
15:14Henry, over to you.
15:15Thank you, Ranbir.
15:16Lucy, if you get it right, you will take the lead.
15:18Let's see if you can do it.
15:20No pressure.
15:21No pressure at all.
15:2260 seconds to give me a right answer after I've finished reading the riddle.
15:25What might follow each of these signs?
15:27Your time starts now.
15:29OK.
15:30Snowflake.
15:31Snow.
15:32Knee.
15:33Night.
15:34Skull.
15:35What might follow a skull?
15:38Death.
15:39Skull.
15:40Knee.
15:41Knee.
15:42Was that a snow globe?
15:45Or a knight?
15:46Got a knee.
15:47A skull.
15:48Maybe that's not a skull.
15:49Brain.
15:50Um...
15:51By knee.
15:52I've got nothing.
15:53I've got no idea here.
15:56Um...
15:57I've got no idea here.
15:59Um...
16:00Knee.
16:01Knee.
16:04Um...
16:05OK.
16:06I think...
16:07Well, the only thing...
16:08You've got ten seconds.
16:09I'm going to say cap.
16:12You're locking in cap?
16:13Yes, please.
16:14Why?
16:15For, like, kneecap.
16:16I don't know what a snowcap is.
16:18I'm hoping that's a thing.
16:19Nightcap and skullcap.
16:22You needed the entire minute to get there, Lucy, but you did get it right.
16:25Well done.
16:26Right answer.
16:27Yeah, cap.
16:28So, the first one there could have been snowcap or icecap.
16:30Both work.
16:31Kneecap, nightcap, and skullcap, the word cap, is the thing that follows all of these signs.
16:36Well done.
16:37Lucy, you really did well there.
16:39That's £200 added to the prize pot.
16:41And as you'd said, Riddlemaster, that means that you're now in the lead by £150.
16:47Here we go.
16:48Next question.
16:49Which 1961 film stars Audrey Hepburn as a socialite named Holly Golightly?
16:58Lucy and Sean.
16:59Breakfast at Tiffany's.
17:00Correct.
17:01Which island was known as Hibernia by the Romans?
17:05Tracy and Warren.
17:06Ireland.
17:07Yes, that's right.
17:08Incorrect.
17:09What term are you from unlocking the next visual riddle?
17:14What is the common name for the bone called the clavicle?
17:18Lucy and Sean.
17:19Collarbone.
17:20Correct.
17:21I can see Tracy and Warren.
17:22Two numbers.
17:23All right.
17:24Okay.
17:25To give me that right answer after I've finished reading the riddle.
17:30If this standard die with opposing faces adding up to seven rolls over to the blue block,
17:35which number will end face up?
17:37Your time starts now.
17:38Okay.
17:39So, if it rolls one, it will go to one.
17:45Oh.
17:46But then, I don't know how they are on a normal die.
17:53So, it's probably going to be one of those numbers.
17:55So, we go one.
17:57So, if you go on the first one, it will be one.
18:00And I go again, it will be something else.
18:03And then I'll go left, and it will be something else.
18:07Whatever's next to the left of that one.
18:10On the second one, so then six more turns of the die put me onto one.
18:14You've locked in one.
18:15So, yeah.
18:16Sean, I'm afraid it's the wrong answer.
18:17Okay.
18:18Brilliant.
18:19Bit lucky there.
18:20Very.
18:21Let's take a look at the dice in motion there.
18:22So, it rolls one on the top, four on the top, two on the top, three on the top, six on
18:25the top, and at the end, four on the top.
18:28Well done.
18:29I mean, yeah, over my head too, Tracy.
18:31Yeah.
18:32Yeah.
18:33But brilliantly done, Warren.
18:34Yeah.
18:35So, that was great working out from you in the same amount of time for a steal.
18:39That's £100.
18:40Nice pot.
18:41Correct.
18:42Which town in Cumbria is the historic home of the confectionery mint cake?
18:47Tracy and Warren.
18:48Kendall.
18:49Correct.
18:50Which American news magazine publishes an annual issue selecting a person of the year?
18:56Lucy and Sean.
18:57Time.
18:58Correct.
18:59One away from unlocking the final visual riddle.
19:02Which stage musical includes the songs Old Euteronomy and Memory?
19:07Tracy and Warren.
19:08Cats.
19:09Correct.
19:10Brilliant stuff.
19:11Right.
19:12What does the letter F stand for in the term UFO?
19:18Tracy and Warren.
19:19It really was just a question of who would fly to the buzzer faster than the other in
19:22that one there.
19:23Right.
19:24So, Tracy and Warren.
19:25You've only got one category to fight over.
19:27So, let's take a look at what it is.
19:28It's letters.
19:29Right.
19:30I think I'll go for it.
19:32We've got a clue, haven't we?
19:33So, yeah.
19:34I'll go for it.
19:35Good luck, Tracy.
19:36You started this round in the lead.
19:37You're now behind.
19:38This would give you the lead back.
19:4060 seconds to give me a right answer after I've finished reading this riddle.
19:44Where must you rendezvous with the mysterious Agent McDonald's?
19:48Your time starts now.
19:51Where must you rendezvous with the mysterious Agent McDonald's?
19:54One step forward and two steps back.
20:00I may as well take the clue, please.
20:02Stop the clock.
20:03Take note.
20:04There are two codes to help you find this royal road.
20:07Stop the clock.
20:08You're on a room series Agent McDonald.
20:10If this code you wish to crack, take one step forward and two steps back.
20:15Agent Angus McDonald.
20:19EAM.
20:21Take one step forward.
20:23You've got 30 seconds left.
20:26OK.
20:27Take one step forward and two steps back.
20:32Where must you rendezvous?
20:35Where must you rendezvous?
20:37Erm, I'm totally lost on this one.
20:42One step forward.
20:44You've got ten seconds left.
20:46OK.
20:47Erm...
20:49Do you want to lock in an answer quickly?
20:53Say nothing more because Lucy and Sean could steal it.
20:56No more conferring.
20:57What's your answer to lock in?
20:58Prince's Street.
20:59Lucy, why do you think Prince's Street?
21:01So, I think the first line you have to go one letter forward in the alphabet.
21:06So, O becomes P, Q becomes R, and then you get Prince's.
21:10And then on the second line you go back two letters in the alphabet.
21:14So, hoping it spells S-T-R-E, then the double G is the E-T,
21:20so I'm hoping Prince's Street.
21:23Prince's Street is absolutely right.
21:25Well done, yes.
21:26Very good.
21:27This is not an easy riddle at all.
21:29Prince's Street is right.
21:30There's a few other clues on there.
21:32Of course, you correctly worked out the sort of cipher there.
21:34Of course, you've got to take one step forward in the alphabet on the first one
21:37and two steps back.
21:38That's what the clue was talking about.
21:39There's two different codes that you need to follow to find this royal road.
21:42Of course, that's the Prince there.
21:44There are some other clues.
21:45Of course, Edinburgh is circled on the map.
21:46That's where Prince's Street is.
21:48And there's Donald's Scottish name.
21:49A few things to point you towards Scotland and Edinburgh specifically.
21:52Well done.
21:53Ooh.
21:54Great deciphering from Lucy and Sean there for a steal.
21:56You've got £100 added to your prize pot.
21:59That was a really exciting round, actually.
22:01The riddles were fantastic, Riddle Master.
22:05Loved all of them.
22:06Now, teams at the...
22:07Warren, you have £800, but all of that could change in the next round.
22:12But now, I think we all need a bit of a break, actually.
22:15Yeah, a bit of a breather after that one.
22:16A bit of a breather.
22:17What have you got for us?
22:18See if you can figure this one out.
22:20Which place of work looks like it's no longer on the rocks?
22:30Welcome back to Ridiculous, the ridiculously clever and brain-teasing show.
22:35Now, before the break, Henry, you asked us...
22:37Which place of work looks like it's no longer on the rocks?
22:41Who knows the answer here?
22:43Anyone in the studio?
22:44Sean?
22:45Sean.
22:46Is it stable?
22:47Stable.
22:48No longer on the rocks?
22:49No, not quite, I'm afraid.
22:51I've got an idea.
22:52You go on then.
22:53Now, a place of work might be an office.
22:55Uh-huh.
22:56An office is off ice.
22:58Off ice, yes.
22:59A drink is served on the rocks.
23:01It's served on ice.
23:02Very good.
23:03We're getting a round of applause from Tracey here.
23:04Absolutely.
23:05Well deserved.
23:06Office is good.
23:07Tricky.
23:08Well done if you've got it at home.
23:09Now, let's have a look at your prize pot, shall we?
23:12So, Tracey and Warren, you've got £800.
23:15Lucy and Sean, you've got £1,000.
23:18This is where the competition gets serious,
23:21as the team with the highest prize pot at the end of this round
23:24will be going through two...
23:26Ah.
23:27OK.
23:28Hands back.
23:29Which 2006 film stars Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet?
23:34Lucy and Sean.
23:35The Holiday.
23:36It is.
23:37The first £100 of this round to Lucy and Sean.
23:40Saint Munger.
23:41Jimmy Page.
23:42Are you a fan?
23:43A little bit.
23:44Well, you will be now.
23:46Good answer.
23:47A really good interception.
23:49The full question was,
23:50Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham
23:54were founding members of which English heavy rock band?
23:57The answer was Led Zeppelin.
23:58And now, Tracey and Warren, you're just one correct answer away
24:02from unlocking a £300 riddle.
24:05Which English football club plays its home games at Elland Road?
24:10Tracey and Warren.
24:11Leeds United.
24:12Correct.
24:13It is Leeds United.
24:15What this now means is your prize pots are exactly the same,
24:19£1,100 for both teams.
24:21Right, Tracey and Warren, you've used your clue in this game already,
24:24so it's just you up against the Riddle Master.
24:26Good luck.
24:27This is very exciting.
24:28It's absolutely neck and neck.
24:29So if you get this, you're in the lead.
24:31If they steal it, they could be in the lead.
24:34I'm fidgety and completely unable to relax,
24:37and when split up, I sleep for an even shorter amount of time.
24:42What am I?
24:43Edgy.
24:44On edge.
24:45When split up, I sleep for an even shorter amount of time.
24:50Is it a word we're after?
24:52Is it split up of I sleep?
24:54What am I?
24:55So what am I?
24:56I sleep for an even shorter amount of time.
24:59I'm fidgety.
25:01I'm completely unable to relax, so...
25:04When split up.
25:05When split up.
25:06When split up.
25:07I sleep for an even shorter amount of time.
25:08When split up.
25:10Fidgety.
25:11Oh, gosh.
25:12Completely unable to relax.
25:13On edge.
25:14Edgy.
25:15I sleep for...
25:16You've locked in nap.
25:18Yeah.
25:19It's wrong, I'm afraid.
25:20Of course it is.
25:21OK.
25:22Lucy and Sean, you've had the same amount of time.
25:23No more conferring.
25:24What's your answer for a steal?
25:26We...
25:27We don't know either.
25:28We'll just say...
25:29Snappy.
25:30Snappy.
25:31Lucy, why?
25:32I don't know.
25:33Bit of a guess.
25:34Yeah.
25:35I'm afraid it's wrong as well.
25:36Ooh.
25:37Right.
25:38Riddle Master, you've done it.
25:39If you're sleeping, what are you doing?
25:40Another word for sleep.
25:41Doze.
25:42Snooze.
25:43Doze, yeah.
25:44Rest.
25:45Rest, someone said.
25:46I said rest.
25:47Rest, yes.
25:48Because I'm playing along here.
25:49Rest is...
25:50I'm totally confused, yeah.
25:51Restless.
25:52Restless is the right answer.
25:53OK.
25:55Egg-shaped digital pet released by the Japanese company Bandai.
26:00Lucy and Sean.
26:01Tamagotchi.
26:02Lucy and Sean.
26:03Graeme Norton.
26:04Yes, correct.
26:06That's correct.
26:07What type of reptile was the Galapagos conservation icon nicknamed Lonesome George?
26:14Tracy and Warren.
26:16Komodo dragon.
26:17Incorrect.
26:18What type of reptile was the Galapagos conservation icon nicknamed Lonesome George?
26:25Lucy and Sean.
26:27A tortoise?
26:28Yes, it was.
26:29Yeah.
26:30Right, Lucy and Sean, brilliant work in that round.
26:34So, here we go, a £300 riddle on its way.
26:37Whilst the answer to this riddle is like the ground inside your door,
26:41it may still knock you down or bring a sense of awe.
26:46What is it?
26:47Inside your door.
26:48The ground inside your door.
26:50So, what do you call it, like, a porch?
26:53The door?
26:54The ground inside the...
26:55Just the floor.
26:56What's inside your door?
26:57Like the...
26:58It may knock you down.
26:59What can knock you down?
27:00Um...
27:01Hit...
27:02Oh, God.
27:03Floorboards...
27:04It may still knock you down.
27:07What knocks you down?
27:08Um...
27:09Um...
27:10A...
27:11A defeat.
27:12Um...
27:13Uh...
27:14A loss.
27:15A...
27:16A knock you down.
27:19A sense of awe.
27:23Wow.
27:25Amazing.
27:26Wow.
27:27Wow.
27:28Wow.
27:29Wow.
27:30We don't really have anything.
27:31We'll just go for...
27:33Mm...
27:34What?
27:35Wanda?
27:36Okay.
27:37You've locked in one.
27:38It's your answer.
27:39We have no idea.
27:40Uh...
27:41We'll say...
27:42Hallway.
27:43Hallway.
27:44No, that's not right either, I'm afraid.
27:46I think it's deceptively simple, this one.
27:48Outside.
27:49When you're outside your house, you would call the ground the ground.
27:51In...
27:52And if you're knocked over by something, you're flawed by it.
27:54Oh!
27:55Okay.
27:56Yeah.
27:57Floor is the right answer.
27:58Deceptively simple, really.
27:59In a sense of awe, you're flawed.
28:00Or if you're knocked over by something, you're flawed.
28:02They are.
28:03You...
28:04Right, teams were into the...
28:05Which video game series has been set in locations named Vice City?
28:10Lucy and Sean.
28:11Grand Theft Auto.
28:12Correct.
28:13And San Andreas.
28:15A sommelier is a waiter that's...
28:18Tracy and Warren.
28:19Wine.
28:20Correct.
28:21A sommelier is a waiter that specialises in serving which drink?
28:24The answer is wine.
28:26Wrigley Field is a baseball stadium in which American...
28:30Tracy and Warren.
28:31Chicago.
28:32Correct.
28:33In which American city?
28:34Right.
28:35Tracy and Warren, you're one correct answer away from unlocking the final riddle here.
28:39Free on which TV game show?
28:42Lucy and Sean.
28:44Gladiators.
28:45Correct.
28:48Which sign of the zodiac is traditionally represented by twins?
28:53Tracy and Warren.
28:54Gemini.
28:55Correct.
28:56So, everything comes down to this riddle.
29:02Tracy and Warren, you're going to face a riddle now.
29:05It's worth £300.
29:06You are £200 behind, right?
29:08So, if you get this right, you're going through to the final.
29:11To front, I'm a file that is looping for a while.
29:14So...
29:15What am I?
29:16Fruit and a tree is a fig leaf.
29:18Fig leaf covers modesty.
29:20Yeah, here's the cover modesty.
29:22Back to front is a gif, which is an image file.
29:25Yeah.
29:26That is looping.
29:27That is looping for a while.
29:28Looping for a while?
29:29No idea.
29:30Hang on.
29:31Back to front, I'm a file.
29:32So, that's definitely a gif, an image file.
29:34That is...
29:35I don't understand...
29:36Don't understand.
29:37Maybe an image file loops.
29:38I don't know.
29:39We'll say...
29:41Yeah, we're going to...
29:42Hang on.
29:43What am I?
29:44I'm fruit and a tree, so it's fig.
29:46Fig.
29:47Fig.
29:48Yeah, we're going for fig, please, Henry.
29:49You're locking in fig.
29:50Yes.
29:53Is the right answer.
29:55Well done.
29:56So, a gif is an image file that loops.
29:58Yeah, loops through a few frames.
30:00So, online you might see a gif, people would share a gif.
30:02Oh, my goodness me.
30:03Flip back to front, of course, is a fig.
30:05Fig covers your modesty and a fig tree and fig is a fruit, of course.
30:08You got all the rest of it.
30:09Well done.
30:11Let me add £300 to your prize pot.
30:15Oh, Lucy and Sean, my goodness me.
30:18Very, very well played.
30:20Look, it doesn't need saying, but listen, after that round,
30:23congratulations, Tracey and Warren.
30:25You're through to the final with a prize pot.
30:28Of £1,700.
30:29But, my goodness me, Lucy and Sean, you ended up on £1,600.
30:34It's almost painful to say it.
30:36But, listen, you guys love a challenge and you put up such a fight.
30:40It was very close.
30:41I mean, that's as close as I think it could possibly be.
30:43Yeah, well done.
30:44So, Lucy and Sean, listen, you'll now fade with all that...
30:48For anybody else who wants to play, have another riddle.
30:50I'll give you the answer after this month.
30:55Welcome back.
30:56This is ridiculous now.
30:57I asked, forget spelling.
30:59It is agreed up north.
31:00This is the best way to describe myself and one of my viewers.
31:04What is it?
31:05What is it?
31:06Tracey and Warren, you're our champion riddle solvers.
31:08Aye.
31:09Aye is the right answer.
31:11Of course, aye.
31:12Yes, absolutely.
31:13Aye.
31:14In any of its forms there.
31:15Aye, aye or aye.
31:16Very good.
31:17Very, very good.
31:18It's slightly sort of pirate-esque.
31:22I love it.
31:23I love it.
31:24Listen, in your prize pot right now is £1,700.
31:28But my goodness, it could have been Lucy and Sean, couldn't it, standing here?
31:32Very good.
31:33Yeah, they were excellent, weren't they?
31:35So, what would you do with the money if you managed to win it?
31:38This is a bone of contention, really,
31:40because we have some big birthdays to celebrate next year.
31:44Which ones?
31:45I want to do a tandem skydive.
31:48Oh.
31:49But I'm not convincing this one any time soon.
31:51So, what would you spend the money on, Warren?
31:53Some sort of holiday, but we had one booked just before Covid.
31:57Like a train trip around Norway.
31:59We could do a tandem skydive.
32:01Into Norway.
32:02Into Norway.
32:03Landing in Norway.
32:04Yeah, yeah, yeah.
32:05If you've got the snow there, you could just stop landing.
32:07I tell you what, Tracy loves all the drama, doesn't she?
32:11Well, you certainly brought the drama to ridiculous today.
32:14Thanks.
32:15Riddle Run.
32:16Henry, could you explain exactly what your Riddle Run is?
32:18Certainly can.
32:19In the Riddle Run, you're going to be facing puzzles in which words are represented by combinations of pictures and letters.
32:24They're often known as rebus riddles, and the answers are phrases or sayings, or a combination of words that are familiar to all.
32:30Tracy and Warren, the rules are simple.
32:32There are ten riddles in all, and you need six correctly.
32:38You'll then have the chance to...
32:40And don't worry.
32:41If it all went wrong, you'd still go home with our collectible teacup.
32:45And so on this show then, if that's the attitude.
32:48Yeah.
32:49But first, of course, you have to face Henry's Riddle Run.
32:53Are you ready?
32:54I'll just put my glasses on.
32:55Okay.
32:56Serious.
32:57Here we go.
32:58Good luck to you both.
32:59Yeah, good luck indeed.
33:01So, 60 seconds, and the time will start as soon as the first riddle is revealed.
33:05Let's play.
33:06Out of the box thinking.
33:09Correct.
33:12One foot in the grave.
33:13Correct.
33:16Stand.
33:17To try.
33:18Pass.
33:19To try.
33:20Pass.
33:21Napoleonic.
33:22So, these are wars.
33:23Star Wars.
33:24Correct.
33:25Two, three, five.
33:26So, they're odd.
33:27They're not.
33:28Two isn't.
33:29Oh, yeah.
33:30Of course.
33:31Number minister.
33:32Pass.
33:33Pass.
33:36A to I, right R.
33:39Tonight.
33:40In the air tonight.
33:41Correct.
33:42The tide is high.
33:45Up tide.
33:47Tide.
33:49Pass.
33:52Grabs.
33:53Four grabs.
33:54Grabs.
33:55Four up.
33:56Oh, no.
33:57Oh.
33:59Tracy and Warren.
34:00Oh, no.
34:01I'm gutted for you.
34:02You were close.
34:03You had five.
34:04You only needed one more.
34:05Thanks for that.
34:06I'm sorry.
34:07I'm sorry.
34:08We wanted the mug.
34:09It's all yours.
34:10It is all yours.
34:11There it is.
34:12Let's have a quick look at them.
34:14The first one you got absolutely right.
34:15Yeah.
34:16So, outside the box thinking you said.
34:17This one you got very quickly.
34:18Yeah.
34:19One foot in the grave.
34:20You pass on this one.
34:22No.
34:23Try to understand.
34:24Try to understand is right.
34:25Yeah.
34:26Try to as in.
34:27Oh, yeah.
34:28There's two.
34:29Yeah.
34:30Two tries, of course.
34:31You did get there in the end.
34:32Baby swan is a signet and they're in a ring.
34:34So, signet ring is the right answer.
34:36This one.
34:37Napoleonic civil.
34:38Hundred years.
34:39All wars in stars.
34:40That's Star Wars.
34:41You did well.
34:42You were discussing it.
34:43I loved it the way you thought it through actually.
34:44Yeah.
34:45Brilliant.
34:46You got very close because you sort of talked about them being odd numbers.
34:49And then you said, no, they're not because of the two.
34:51Prime Minister.
34:52They're prime numbers.
34:53Prime Minister is the right answer.
34:54You were very close on that one.
34:56Unfortunately.
34:57Yeah, that one.
34:58Yeah.
34:59Well done.
35:00This penultimate one you got close.
35:01You said high tide.
35:02Is it rising?
35:03Yeah.
35:04Rising tide.
35:05Yeah.
35:06It's the right answer.
35:07There is one more.
35:08I think you got two right at the end there.
35:09Four grabs.
35:10Yeah.
35:11So, four grabs.
35:12Up for grabs.
35:13Up for grabs.
35:14Yeah.
35:15Up for grabs.
35:16Easy with a bit more time and a bit less.
35:17It was a near miss.
35:18But yeah, the teacup is all yours.
35:20I get the teacup.
35:21Now, as we say, look, never mind.
35:23You are going home with a ridiculous teacup and saucer.
35:26And I can guarantee you'll get one each.
35:27Oh, brilliant.
35:28So, you don't have to argue about it.
35:30Listen, it's been fantastic to have you both on the show.
35:33You've been an absolute delight.
35:35Tracey and Warren, I hope you've had a lovely time despite the outcome.
35:38Fabulous.
35:40Really good for your riddles.
35:41My goodness, what a game.
35:42I know.
