00:00MUSIC
00:18Welcome to Ridiculous, the ridiculously clever show,
00:21where three teams of riddle solvers take on our devious riddle master.
00:26Hello, Henry. Hi, Rami.
00:27I have to say, you're looking very well-groomed, handsome.
00:30You even smell good. Oh, thank you very much.
00:32Hang on a minute. You're being far too nice.
00:34What's going on?
00:35I'm thinking that if I just butter you up a little bit,
00:38you might just go easy on today's contestant.
00:40I'm afraid not. I've got some particularly devious riddles today.
00:43Do you want to try one out on us? Yeah, why not?
00:44OK, let's try this one out for size.
00:46In olden days, I was part of a wage, but now I'm not worth very much.
00:51I'm usually found in front of a pig that lives in a cage or a hutch.
00:56What am I?
00:57Oh, right. OK, so you need to know your old coins.
01:00You certainly do.
01:01Shilling, no.
01:02I'm afraid not shilling.
01:03No, it's not that one. Right, OK, I'm going to keep thinking.
01:05But first, let's meet today's teams.
01:09Who's with us today?
01:10I'm George and this is my partner, Matt, and we're from Birmingham.
01:13I'm Jacob, this is my wife, Lauren, and we're from London.
01:16I'm Phil and this is my daughter, Alana, and we're from Leith in South Wales.
01:20Well, it's lovely to have you all on the show.
01:23Now, Henry doesn't let you have a slow start, does he?
01:26Straight in.
01:27Quite a tricky one. Go on, what was it?
01:29Yeah, yeah.
01:29So, in olden days, I was part of a wage, but now I'm not worth very much.
01:33I'm usually found in front of a pig that lives in a cage or a hutch.
01:37What am I?
01:38Mmm.
01:38Any ideas?
01:39Guinea.
01:40Guinea, of course, yeah.
01:41Very good. Well done, yeah, of course.
01:43In old money, you had a guinea pig who would live in a cage or a hutch.
01:46Yeah, very good. Well done.
01:47Yeah, superstar, well done.
01:49So, welcome to the show.
01:51It's lovely to have you here this afternoon.
01:52So, you're going to face a series of riddles from Henry, of course.
01:57And in order to unlock each riddle, you'll first have to correctly answer
02:01three general knowledge questions from me.
02:05In this first round, the questions are worth £25.
02:09How much are the riddles worth, Henry?
02:11In this first round, these riddles are worth £100.
02:14They're the easiest you'll face for the whole game,
02:16so you don't want to be getting these ones wrong.
02:18Yes.
02:19Worried looks all round.
02:20Nervous smiles, it's exactly what you wanted.
02:23But I have to tell you also,
02:25we will be saying goodbye to one team at the end of this round.
02:29So, every question is important.
02:32Are you ready and raring to go?
02:34Yes.
02:35Super stuff.
02:36Well, let's get some general knowledge questions on the way to you.
02:39Let's play.
02:42First question, good luck.
02:43How many decades are there in a century?
02:46Jacob and Lauren?
02:47Ten.
02:48Correct.
02:49£25 to Jacob and Lauren.
02:51In August 2024, which Britpop band announced a reunion tour?
02:57George and Matt?

02:59Yes.
02:59A reunion tour after 15 years apart.
03:02You're up and running.
03:03In 1988, Anna Wintour became editor-in-chief.
03:08Jacob and Lauren?
03:09Vogue.
03:10Yes.
03:10Of which American fashion magazine it was Vogue?
03:14Right.
03:15Jacob and Lauren, you're already just one correct answer away from unlocking our first riddle.
03:20What three-letter name is shared by characters played by Ryan Gosling in a 2023 film?
03:27Jacob and Lauren?
03:28Ken.
03:29And William Roach.
03:30Since 1960, it is, of course, Ken.
03:32Great answer.
03:34Jacob and Lauren, welcome to the show.
03:36You've unlocked the first riddle.
03:37It must feel good.
03:38It's exciting.
03:38It is exciting.
03:39Tell us a bit about yourselves.
03:40You're married.
03:42That's right.
03:42What do you do?
03:43I'm a children's book author.
03:45Oh, lovely.
03:45And I work in data.
03:47So we've got creation and we've got analytical minds as well.
03:51So you're going to be a great team.
03:52Tell us a bit about how you met.
03:54I met Jacob when we were both teenagers and we were trying out doing quizzes in our secondary
04:00schools.
04:01And we met in a local competition and I saw him from afar.
04:05We said hello.
04:06I beat his team.
04:08And then we never saw each other until we both were in uni together and we were in a
04:13play.
04:13Jacob has no memory of this.
04:15No.
04:15She would say, I met you in secondary school and my team beat you.
04:18And I would say, oh, sure.
04:19I think you're imagining that.
04:21But then we had been married for like 20 years and I was cleaning out my parents' house
04:25and I found like a program from that event proving I was there.
04:28So she went right all along.
04:30And we have to pick up, obviously, your accents are American.
04:32Yes.
04:33You're from?
04:34From Washington, D.C.
04:35From Washington, D.C.
04:36But you've been here a long time.
04:3722 years.
04:3822 years.
04:39Right.
04:39Henry, it's over to you for the riddle.
04:41But let me just quickly remind you guys that you do have a clue to use from Henry at
04:45any time during the game, but you only get one.
04:48So just use it carefully.
04:49Henry, over to you.
04:50First riddle of the game.
04:51Good luck.
04:52We're somewhere you might go after a bar or things that you use when you feel up to
04:57par.
04:58What are we?
04:59So after a bar, you might go to a club and then when you're playing golf, you would
05:03also use when you're up to par, that's playing golf.
05:05So you'd use a club.
05:06So does club sound right?
05:07Yeah, I agree.
05:07I think that makes sense.
05:09I would say club.
05:10So that's our final answer.
05:10Okay, we're going to lock in club.
05:12Yeah.
05:12Club.
05:13It's the right answer.
05:15Well done.
05:15Yeah, of course.
05:16After a bar, you might go on to a club.
05:18And of course, if you're feeling up to par, yeah, you'll be playing golf with golf clubs.
05:22Well done.
05:22Henry likes you to look like you're struggling for a little bit longer than that.
05:25Just as a note to self.
05:27Yeah, just pretend.
05:29Just pretend for a bit.
05:30Right.

07:22Pardon?
07:23A horse.
07:23A real horse?
07:24A real horse, yeah.
07:25I went to do a property inspection and there was a horse coming down the corridor.
07:29What had happened, some kids had lured it into the lift and taken it upstairs.
07:34So we got him back down and gave him to the RSPCA and everything was okay in the end.
07:39Extraordinary stuff.
07:40Well you can clearly stay cool under pressure as you showed in that incident there.
07:45Now listen, you're about to face Henry for another riddle.
07:48Good luck.
07:48Henry.
07:49Here we go.
07:51I'm found in a playground and from the sound of it I look hurt.
07:54But that's not the case, despite having had my fair share of ups and downs.
07:58What am I?
08:00Seesaw.
08:01I think it's seesaw, yeah.
08:02Up and down.
08:02Seesaw goes up and down.
08:05Round about.

08:13Yeah, okay.
08:14We lock in seesaw.
08:15We lock in seesaw, please.
08:17Seesaw.
08:18Tell me why.
08:18Well, that goes up and down.
08:21And if you run well, you could be seesawing between health and illness.
08:27It's the right answer.
08:28Well done.
08:29Absolutely.
08:29Yes.
08:30Very good.
08:31Once you've figured out why there was a horse in a top floor flat, figure out these riddles
08:34is simple stuff really.
08:36Yeah, of course.
08:36Look hurt is the key phrase.
08:38So if you look hurt, that's look, see, hurt, saw.
08:41Yeah.
08:42Very good.
08:43Well done.
08:44Yes.
08:44Lovely.
08:45Well, you got a sort of part of the riddle, didn't you?
08:47It gave you the answer, but then that explains the beginning bit of the riddle as well.
08:50For the wrong or wrong reason.
08:52Yeah.
08:52Good stuff.
08:53£100 to Phil and Alana.

10:48A king rules a land.
10:50Yeah.
10:50When he's under threat, he's checkmate.
10:53Yeah.
10:53So, as I said, he loses everything in the game.
10:57Yeah.
10:57We think the answer is king?
10:59King.
11:00Yeah.
11:00Yes, please.
11:01It's the right answer.
11:02King, yeah.
11:03The king rules the land.

12:05George and Matt.
12:07Pig.
12:08Incorrect.
12:09Which farmyard animal follows the word sea in an alternative name for a manatee?
12:15Phil and Delana.

12:28Jacob and Lauren.
12:28The National Gallery.
12:29Correct.

12:31You also could be facing the riddle mask if you get this next question correct.
12:35Who played the title character in the comedy film There's Something About Mary?
12:40Jacob and Lauren.
12:41Cameron Diaz.
12:42Yes.
12:42Correct.
12:42Well done.
12:43Right.
12:43Jacob and Lauren, here you are.
12:45You're facing a riddle.
12:46You feeling confident?
12:48Feeling excited.
12:50Feeling excited.
12:51That's good enough.
12:52I'm a spirit at the heart of originality and imagination, surrounded by encouraging beginners.
12:58What am I?
13:00OK.
13:00OK.
13:00So I think this one is a sort of a cryptic style clue because the heart of and the spirit
13:04or alcohol that is at the heart of originality and imagination is gin.
13:09OK.
13:09There's the word gin at the heart of both.
13:11And then surrounded by encouraging gin.
13:14There's gin.
13:14Beginners.
13:15Gin.
13:15Yeah.
13:15So we're going to lock in.
13:16Assuming you agree.
13:17Yeah, I agree.
13:17We lock in gin.
13:18Yeah.
13:19It was a fast answer.
13:21It's also the right answer.
13:23Well done, gin.
13:23Yeah.
13:24Of course, you're looking for a spirit.
13:25Yeah.
13:25At the beginning.
13:26Yeah.
13:26Alcoholic drink.
13:27Gin.
13:27And you're looking for something that's, as you correctly say, yeah, it's all about the
13:30words and the letters in them.
13:32At the heart of originality, you have the word gin.
13:34At the heart of the word imagination, you have gin.
13:36Surrounded by encouraging beginners.
13:38Gin also.
13:39Different sounds, but hidden in both words.
13:41Well done.
13:41You're making me thirsty.
13:42You've said it so often.
13:46Celebratory drinks perhaps afterwards.
13:48Jacob and Lauren, congratulations.
13:49That was speedy riddle solving.
13:51£100 into your prize pot.
13:54So that ends round one.
13:56Teams, at the end of that round, Phil and Alana have £400.
13:59Jacob and Lauren also have £400.
14:03George and Matt, you have £125, which sadly means we have to say goodbye already.
14:09Aw.
14:10It's a shame, isn't it?
14:11Just tell us a bit about yourselves, George and Matt.
14:13You're a couple.
14:14It's been about 11 years now.
14:16Yeah.
14:16I wanted to talk to George, but got a bit scared, so one of my friends spoke to him for
14:20me, and yeah, we've been a couple ever since.
14:23Oh, well that's lovely.
14:24And what do you do for a living, Matt?
14:25So I'm a travel trainer, so I teach people how to use buses and trains and people with
14:30special needs, getting them onto public transport.
14:32Fantastic stuff.
14:33And George, what do you do for a living?
14:35I'm a fraud investigator, so I try and get money back for people that have lost it from fraud.
14:40Wow, amazing.
14:41That must really bring up loads of interesting situations for you.
14:45It does, yes.
14:46Well, obviously, Matt said that he was too nervous to approach you when you first met
14:4911 years ago.
14:50What did you think when somebody introduced you to him?
14:53I thought he was alright, so I thought I'd give him a chance.
14:56And you're still giving him a chance 11 years later?
14:59Yeah, yeah.
15:00So far, so good.
15:01So far, so good.
15:02Lovely stuff.
15:03Well, it's been lovely to have you on the show, even though briefly.
15:06I hope you've had a lovely time.
15:07But that is it for part one.
15:09Henry, do you have another riddle in you?
15:11I certainly do.
15:12Which question sounds like it might have the power to shock you?
15:15I'll give you the answer after the break.
15:28Welcome back.
15:29Now, before the break, just remind us what that riddle was, Henry.
15:32The mischievous riddle I asked before the break was,
15:35which question sounds like it might have the power to shock you?
15:39A few nods over there.
15:40What do you think?
15:41Watt.
15:42Watt is the right answer, yeah.
15:43Watt, of course.
15:44Yeah, unit of power, as in megawatt.
15:46Exactly right.
15:48Super stuff.
15:48Thank you so much, Henry.
15:50Now, Jacob and Lauren, Phil and Alana, well done.
15:52You managed to avoid being knocked out in the first round.
15:54That's got to feel good.
15:56Definitely.
15:56It feels a relief, doesn't it?
15:58Yeah.
15:58Now, Phil and Alana, father and daughter.
16:00Phil, did you raise Alana with lots of quizzes when she was younger?
16:02Is that why you're a teen today?
16:03Yeah, as I say, we played lots of board games and things
16:06and she's always like quizzes, watching quizzes with us.
16:09Because as a family, we watch quizzes and usually we have like...
16:14A forfeit.
16:15A forfeit, yeah.
16:16You have a forfeit?
16:16Yeah, like somebody's got to wash the dishes
16:18or wash somebody's car or something like that.
16:20I love that.
16:21High stakes, even as a teenager.
16:23I know, everything to play for.
16:25Everything to play for.
16:26And was he tough on you, Alana, when you were...
16:27Oh, did he let you in sometime?
16:29Oh, never.
16:29She had to earn any wins.
16:32Oh, my goodness.
16:33Because my grandchildren have to now.
16:35Well, your grandchildren, you don't let them win either?
16:37Oh, no, no.
16:37Not just because they're small and kids, they've got to learn.
16:40Oh, Mike, you are hardcore Phil, hardcore Phil.
16:44I thought you'd be a lovely, soft, gentle Phil, Grandpa Phil.
16:47Oh, I am in some ways, but not going to be playing games.
16:50Right.
16:50It's a whole different thing.
16:52Come on.
16:53I love that.
16:53Now, Jacob and Lauren, you have children as well, don't you?
16:56Do you recognise Phil's parenting technique?
16:58I let my kids win most games when they were little,
17:01but when we played Scrabble, I couldn't help myself,
17:03so I tended to win that.
17:05But I never thought of making them do chores when they lost.
17:07I think that's a great idea.
17:09Well, you mean make us do chores if they beat us.
17:11Yes, exactly.
17:13It could work both ways.
17:14Well, I'm learning a lot here.
17:16It's a good idea.
17:16If anyone gets any riddles wrong in this round,
17:18you will be washing my car, I'm afraid.
17:20That's great.
17:22Exactly.
17:23Well, can I just say, you may have very similar approaches
17:26to gameplay, and it's showing up as well in your scores
17:29because you both have £400 in your prize pot,
17:33so there you go.
17:34You're both very well matched as teams.
17:36Now, in this round, in round two,
17:38the questions from me are now worth £50.
17:41And once again, you will need to answer three correctly
17:45in order to unlock a riddle.
17:46But the riddles have changed.
17:48They certainly have.
17:49In this round, you're going to be facing visual riddles.
17:51So, as you might expect, they contain pictures,
17:53also numbers, shapes and words.
17:55They're a little bit trickier,
17:56but if you can get them right, they're worth £200 each.
17:58Right.
17:59And also, only one member of your team
18:01will be able to step forward to take the riddle on.
18:05You'll have just 60 seconds to get it right.
18:09Also, if you get your riddle wrong,
18:11then it will be handed over to the opposing team for a steal.
18:15OK.
18:16Of course, before you get there,
18:17you have to answer some general knowledge questions.
18:19Here we go.
18:20Good luck.
18:22What does the letter F usually stand for
18:25in the expression of relief, TGIF?
18:28Jacob and Lauren.
18:29Friday.
18:30Thank God it's Friday.
18:31There you go.
18:32Well done.
18:32The first £50.
18:33Who played the title character
18:35in the 2024 ITV series,
18:38Douglas is Cancelled?
18:40Phil and Delana.
18:41Who, Barneville?
18:42Correct.
18:44Bromine is one of only two chemical elements
18:47to be in which state at room temperature?
18:50Phil and Delana.
18:51Liquid.
18:52Good answer.
18:53Mercury as the other liquid element.
18:55Phil and Delana,
18:56you're one correct answer away
18:58from facing our first visual riddle.
19:00What international standard paper size
19:03is exactly twice the size of A4?
19:07Phil and Delana.
19:08A3.
19:08Yes, you're fast, you're quick, you're on it.
19:12Now, Phil and Delana,
19:14I wonder what you're going to do here
19:15because, of course, you've unlocked the riddle
19:16but you've got a couple of decisions to make.
19:18So, which category would you like
19:20and who wants to take it?
19:22You've got numbers, letters or words.
19:24You want me to do it?
19:25Yeah, you do the first one.
19:27I'll do numbers, please.
19:28Doing numbers, OK.
19:30Delana, you can step back.
19:31Now, Phil, you can use a clue if you want it here.
19:35Good luck.
19:36Good luck indeed.
19:3760 seconds, Phil, to give me a correct answer
19:39after I've finished reading the riddle that goes with this.
19:42What number is obscured by the inkblot?
19:44Your time starts now.
20:10Six.
20:12It's a guess.
20:13I can't, I can't actually work it out.
20:15This is just a guess.
20:16You're locking in six.
20:17Yes, please.
20:18Phil, I'm afraid it's wrong.
20:19OK.
20:20Jacob and Lauren, have you got an answer for a steal?
20:22We do.
20:2311.
20:2411, and why?
20:25Because if you look at it upside down, all the numbers make sense.
20:28So, looked at upside down, something plus 81 is 92.
20:32And if I've done my maths right, that's 11.
20:3511 is the right answer.
20:37Yeah.
20:38Well done.
20:38Fantastic.
20:39Yeah, of course.
20:39The clue really is the visual there, right?
20:41It's coming out of a printer.
20:42Usually, when you print something out of a printer, it'll be printed out upside down.
20:45That's the clue to the fact that it's upside down.
20:47Of course, yeah.
20:47You look at it upside down, all the calculations make sense.
20:50You just have to fill in the right answer, which is, yeah, 11 plus 81 is 92.
20:54Well done.
20:54A great steal there by Jacob and Lauren.
20:56That's £100 into your prize pot.
21:00Thank you so much, Riddle Master.
21:01Right, we've got two more visual riddles to go.
21:03So, let's keep playing.
21:04Hands by the buzzers.
21:05Which English rock band released the albums
21:08Wish You Were Here and The Wall?
21:10Phil and Delana.
21:11Pink Floyd.
21:11Correct.
21:13Next question.
21:14Thomas Beckett, Cosmo, Gordon Lang, and Rowan Williams
21:17have all been Phil and Delana.
21:20Archbishop.
21:20Archbishop of Canterbury.
21:22I can take that, yep.
21:23The full question was, have all been Archbishop of which English city?
21:27You correctly said Canterbury.
21:29Phil and Delana, again, great work on the general knowledge.
21:32You're just one correct answer away from unlocking the next.
21:34Riddle.
21:35The name of which tree can also mean a flat surface or an aircraft?
21:41Jacob and Lauren.
21:42Plane.
21:43Correct.
21:44In a nursery rhyme, which two food items
21:48follow the name Georgie Porgy.
21:52Jacob and Lauren.
21:53Pudding and pie.
21:54Pudding and pie.
21:55And just remind us, what it is you do for a living?
21:58I write picture books.
21:59For children.
21:59Yes.
22:00Yes, exactly.
22:01Very good.
22:01Correct.
22:02£50 to Jacob and Lauren.
22:04Right, you're so evenly matched.
22:06You've both got £650 in your prize pot.
22:09But almost more importantly, whoever answers this next question correctly
22:13will go on to face the riddle master.
22:15Which American technology company developed a series of video games?
22:21Phil and Delana.
22:22Apple.
22:23Incorrect.
22:25Which American technology company developed a series of video games consoles called Xbox?
22:32Jacob and Lauren.
22:33Microsoft.
22:34Correct.
22:35It was one of those, wasn't it, where you're both so hot on the buzzer.
22:39Phil, you went straight for it.
22:40But on this occasion, it gave Jacob and Lauren the chance to hear the full question.
22:44That's just sometimes how it goes.
22:46Right, Jacob and Lauren.
22:47Exciting times.
22:48So, who wants to take on which category?
22:51You have to choose from letters or words.
22:54We should do, I think, letters.
22:55Letters.
22:56Are you going to do letters?
22:56I'm happy to if you...
22:57That's fine.
22:58Yeah, you do letters.
22:58Okay, I'll do letters.
22:59Yes, the man of words, the man of letters, the publisher.
23:02Here we go.
23:03Letters.
23:04Jacob, 60 seconds to give me a correct answer after I've finished reading the riddle that
23:08goes with this.
23:08Yes.
23:09Which two letters indicates someone has reached number 10 or gone beyond 12?
23:13Your time starts now.
23:15Okay.
23:16B-S-L-P-E-G-O-J-I-V.
23:23Oh, actually, I can see at the end X-I.
23:25Those are Roman numeral 11.
23:28So, you've reached number 10, but you haven't gone beyond 12.
23:32So, I'm going to go back.
23:33PM.
23:34Oh, PM.
23:35It's a time of day.
23:36No, because then that would be afternoon, which...
23:40So, it wouldn't be...
23:41It would reach beyond 12, but not the number 10.
23:43And R-V-Q-C-A-Z-I-E-M-R.
23:51Um, I'm going to ask for a clue.
23:53Stop the clock.
23:55It feels about time for me to get into politics.
23:58Stop the clock.
23:59Oh, of course.
24:00Okay.
24:00So, PM, it could be in time, it's beyond noon, or if you're the PM, the prime minister,
24:07you've reached number 10 Downing Street.
24:08So, I'm going to lock in PM as my answer.
24:12PM.
24:14Clue was pretty helpful there, wasn't it, I think, Jacob?
24:16Yeah, well done.
24:17Actually, you're right.
24:18PM.
24:18Yeah.
24:18Yeah, tricky one.
24:19Very, very tricky.
24:20Yeah, they're all abbreviations for different things.
24:21There's a few Roman numerals in there as well.
24:24But yeah, PM, of course, in the afternoon.
24:25If you have a time that's PM or post-meridium, that is in the afternoon.
24:28That's gone beyond 12.
24:30And as you correctly say, if you become the prime minister, you reach number 10 Downing Street.
24:34Well done.
24:34Very good.
24:35The clue used brilliantly there, actually.
24:38So, £200 to Jacob and Lauren.
24:41Great riddle there.
24:42OK, we've got one more visual riddle left in this round.
24:45Good luck to both teams.
24:46Here we go.
24:47The offer's dike path lies on the border of England, and which other...
24:51Phil and Delana.
24:52Wales.
24:53Yes.
24:54And which other country of the UK?
24:56You sort of had to get that right, didn't you, for pride?
24:58They wouldn't let us back in, otherwise.
24:59No, exactly.
25:01Here we go.
25:02In the TV detective series Kojak, the title character played by
25:07Telly Savalas, is often seen with which item...
25:11Phil and Delana.
25:12Lollipop.
25:13With which item of confectionery in his mouth?
25:16You're right.
25:16It is lollipop.
25:17Right, Phil and Delana.
25:18One correct answer away from unlocking the final visual riddle.
25:22At a gym, a spin class takes place on what piece of equipment?
25:27Jacob and Lauren?
25:28Bicycle?
25:29Or standing bike?
25:30Yes, I can take bike, exercise bike.
25:34Which wife of Henry VIII was the mother of Edward VI?
25:39Phil and Delana.
25:40Jane Seymour.
25:41Great knowledge.
25:42Well done.
25:42Right, OK.
25:43Speedy work on the buzzer.
25:45Phil, you did it last time, didn't you?
25:46Yeah.
25:47Is it Alana's turn?
25:48Let's see.
25:48You have words.
25:50Shall I do this one?
25:51Do you want to do it?
25:52Yeah, I'll give it a go.
25:53OK.
25:54Just don't choke to me if I get it wrong.
25:55No.
25:56Well, it was tricky for Phil last time, wasn't it?
25:58It was tricky for everybody.
26:00Good luck.
26:01Of course, you have 60 seconds.
26:03And you saw Jacob use his clue to great effect.
26:06Yeah.
26:06You have a clue that you haven't used yet.
26:09Alana, it's worth £200.
26:10It would put you back in the lead.
26:1260 seconds to give me that right answer
26:13after I've finished reading the riddle that goes with this.
26:16Which of these things does not go with the others?
26:19Your time starts now.
26:21Which of these things does not go with the others?
26:25Tan, come in.
26:35What're you thinking?
26:37I'm leaning towards tan.
26:41Because the others are all physical things.
26:51But then I'm just wondering, if there's more to do with this,
26:53the letters in each word.
27:00You've got 20 seconds left.
27:04I'm going to stick with tan.
27:06Have you locked it in?
27:07Yeah, lock in tan, please.
27:10Tan. Alana is wrong, I'm afraid.
27:12OK, Jacob and Lauren, for a steal, what's your answer?
27:14We think car.
27:16Car, you're locking in?
27:17Yes.
27:18Why do you think car?
27:18The others can be both nouns and verbs.
27:21You can man something, you can tan, you can cup,
27:23you can bin something, but you can't car something.
27:27It's a nice answer, I'm afraid it's not the right answer.
27:30There's something hidden in the question there that you've missed.
27:32Which of these things does not go with the others?
27:36That's the question, and the reason it's phrased like that
27:38is because if you add go to the end of all of them,
27:41you get a new word, except, of course, for cup.
27:44Mango, tango, bingo, cargo.
27:45Cup go isn't a word, so cup is the wrong one out.
27:49Sorry, but I'm afraid, you know, someone's washing my car now.
27:53You better go.
27:55Right, OK, so teams, at the end of that round,
27:57Jacob and Lauren have £950,
27:59and Phil and Alana just behind on £800.
28:02And you've seen how closely matched you are as competitors.
28:06It's going to be a very exciting, deciding round.
28:09They all want to get to the final.
28:11I can see it in their eyes.
28:13Yeah, yeah.
28:13Yeah, good.
28:14Do you have another riddle for us as we head into our break, Henry?
28:17I do, Ranbir.
28:18I've been to war, and I'll check your paw.
28:20What am I?
28:20Right, I'll give you the answer after this.
28:33Welcome back to Ridiculous,
28:35the ridiculously clever and brain-teasing show.
28:38Now, before the break, Henry, you had a riddle,
28:41which I think I may know the answer to.
28:43That's good news.
28:44Very good, wonderful.
28:44I've been to war, and I'll check your paw.
28:47What am I?
28:47That's the riddle, Ranbir, and the answer is?
28:49Without any help from my friends, and don't you dare deny that.
28:53Is it vet?
28:54Vet is the right answer.
28:55Of course, a war vet and a veterinary surgeon, of course, yeah.
28:58I may have nodded over to them during the break
29:01and asked them for a bit of help, but I'm allowed to.
29:03I'm allowed to.
29:04Listen, you're both such great teams.
29:06Can I ask you for your assessments of each other as teams?
29:09Jacob and Lauren, what do you make of Phil and Alana's gameplay?
29:11Oh, it's great, and you're so quick on the general knowledge.
29:14We're going to have to join up and do a pub quiz together after this.
29:18I love that.
29:19I mean, I would never want to go to a pub quiz with these four involved.
29:22And Phil and Alana, what do you make of Jacob and Lauren's gameplay so far?
29:26Very good at the riddles.
29:27Yes.
29:28Yeah, very good at the riddles, actually.
29:29That's true.
29:30Well, let me just tell you how your prize pot stands.
29:32So, as we enter this deciding round, your pots are at £800 and £950.
29:40But this is where the competition gets serious,
29:43as the team with the highest prize pot at the end of this round
29:47will be going through to the final to face Henry's riddle run.
29:51Now, this time, correct questions are worth £100.
29:55And how much are the riddles now worth, Henry?
29:58Well, this is the deciding round.
29:59So, the riddles are the toughest ones you've faced yet.
30:01If you can get them right, they're worth £300 each.
30:05It could be anybody facing Henry in the riddle run.
30:08Good luck to both teams, your great competitors.
30:11Let's play.
30:14Which country won the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest?
30:19Jacob and Lauren.
30:21Switzerland.
30:21Correct.
30:23In the UK, the maximum term of a parliament is how many years?
30:27Jacob and Lauren.
30:28Five years.
30:30Correct.
30:31One away from unlocking the first high-value riddle.
30:35Which gas burner used in laboratories?
30:38Jacob and Lauren.
30:39Bunsen.
30:39The Bunsen burner.
30:41Which gas burner used in laboratories
30:43takes its name from the German chemist who invented it?
30:47It was Robert von Bunsen.
30:49Right.
30:50Jacob and Lauren, here we go.
30:52You've used your clue,
30:53so you're facing the hardest riddles of the game so far alone.
30:57Good luck.
30:59Made you jump.
31:00Even though I've been missed,
31:02you probably think I'm full of rubbish.
31:04What am I?
31:05Made you jump.
31:06So, well, or a skip.
31:08A skip.
31:08Because if you hop, skip, and jump,
31:11if you miss something, you skip over it.
31:12And, of course, a skip is full of rubbish.
31:15So, if you agree, I would lock that in.
31:16Yes.
31:17It sounds very sensible.
31:19Yes.
31:20So, skip, we will lock that in.
31:23It certainly does sound sensible.
31:24It's the right answer.
31:25Yeah, skip.
31:26Absolutely.
31:27Yeah, you skip something or jump.
31:28Yeah, you're skipping over it, you jump.
31:30Of course, if you skip over something, yeah,
31:31you miss something if you skip over it.
31:33And, of course, at a building site,
31:34you'd have a skip full of rubbish.
31:36Well done.
31:36Now, Jacob and Lauren,
31:38you do realise this is meant to be
31:39the hardest bit of the show.
31:40Well done.
31:41That is £300.
31:43OK, let's keep playing.
31:45Here we go.
31:46What specific type of vessel is named Nautilus?
31:50Phil and Delana.
31:52Submarine.
31:52In the classic novel,
31:5320,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
31:55Submarine is correct.
31:57The logo of which French fashion company
32:01founded in 1933
32:03is a green crocodile?
32:06Jacob and Lauren.

32:25Incorrect.
32:26Which 2021 film
32:28and subsequent TV drama...
32:30Phil and Delana.
32:31Is it Boiling Point?
32:32It is Boiling Point.
32:34OK, Phil and Delana.
32:37One correct answer away
32:38from facing Henry.
32:41Which metal features
32:43in the nicknames of both
32:44Otto von Bismarck and Margaret...
32:47Jacob and Lauren.
32:48Iron.
32:48And Margaret Thatcher.
32:50Yes, the Iron Chancellor
32:51and the Iron Lady.
32:52Good stuff.
32:53Right, OK.
32:54Both very evenly matched
32:55in terms of who
32:56may be unlocking the next riddle.
32:58You're both just one
32:59correct answer away.
33:00Which country
33:02has cities named
33:03Karachi and Islamabad?
33:05Phil and Delana.
33:06Pakistan.
33:07Correct.
33:08You just got that
33:09in the nick of time.
33:10Right.
33:11£300 riddle on its way.
33:12Good luck.
33:13Here it comes.
33:14Be good to get this
33:14and catch you
33:15quite a way up
33:16to the other guys.
33:17When fully formed
33:18I am soft and cuddly
33:19but with my middle removed
33:21I'm very angry indeed.
33:22What am I?
33:24What gets angry
33:25without a middle?
33:27Maybe a donut?
33:29Why would it be angry?
33:31Can we have a clue, please?
33:33Yeah, of course.
33:34This one feels a bit hairy.
33:36What's hairy and angry?
33:39Don't be looking at Henry.
33:40Sorry.
33:41Don't be you.
33:41Leave Henry alone.
33:44I'm fully formed, I'm sorry.
33:47Has anything to do with snow?
33:50Soft and cuddly?
33:50Soft and cuddly?
33:51Teddy bear?
33:52What's soft and cuddly
33:53when it's fully?
33:54Oh!
33:55Is it a cloud?
33:57Well, I can't get it.
34:00Why would a cloud be angry?
34:01Well, soft and cuddly clouds
34:03are nice clouds, aren't they?
34:04Right.
34:05Because the weather is nice.
34:06Whereas when clouds split up
34:09and spread thinner
34:10is that when we have
34:11thunder and lightning and rain?
34:12Sounds good to me.
34:13Try that.
34:14I don't got anything.
34:15Will you go for cloud, please?
34:17Cloud?
34:18Cloud.
34:19I'm afraid it's the wrong answer.
34:20OK.
34:21Jacob and Lauren,
34:22what's your answer
34:22for £150 steel?
34:24So we're going to go with furry
34:25because when you take
34:26the middle out,
34:27it's fury and that's anger.
34:31It's the right answer.
34:32Well done, Jacob and Lauren.
34:33You're doing fantastic
34:34on these riddles, yeah.
34:36Furry, of course.
34:37Yeah, something soft, cuddly.
34:38It's furry.
34:39Take out the middle letter.
34:40Take out the R.
34:41You get fury.
34:42Something that's very angry indeed.
34:44Well done, yeah.
34:45How are you feeling, Phil?
34:46Furious?
34:46No, I've never got that.
34:47No, it's a great steal, actually.
34:50Well done.
34:50£150 to Jacob and Lauren.
34:53We've got one more riddle
34:55to go in this round.
34:56Good luck to both teams.
34:57Here we go.
34:58Made by a company
34:59founded in 1759,
35:02which brand of Irish dry stout?
35:06Phil and Alana.
35:07Guinness.
35:08Which brand of Irish dry stout
35:10has been primarily brewed
35:12at St James's Gate in Dublin?
35:14The answer was Guinness.
35:17Which football team
35:18based in Edinburgh
35:19play their home games
35:21at Tynecastle Park?
35:23Phil and Alana.
35:24Hearts.
35:25Heart of Midlothian.
35:27Yeah, I can accept hearts.
35:28Heart of Midlothian.
35:30Right, one away
35:31from unlocking the final riddle
35:33of this deciding round.
35:35Actor Terence Donovan
35:37played Doug Willis
35:39alongside his son Jason
35:40as Scott Robinson.
35:42Phil and Alana.
35:43Neighbours.
35:44In which Australian soap?
35:45It is Neighbours.
35:46Your neighbours are furious over there.
35:48You got there.
35:49Right, OK.
35:50Henry.
35:51Yeah, very good.
35:52OK, so, final riddle here.
35:54What can be light but not sunny?
35:56Can be heavy but never torrential.
35:58Sounds like you'll have to hang around
36:00if you want to find out.
36:02It's not rain.
36:04Hanging around could be a weight.
36:07Is there anything in the words?
36:10It can be light but not...
36:11It can be heavy rain.
36:12It can be heavy but not torrential.
36:15You hang around.
36:16You've weighted in until...
36:17Yes.
36:18But how does that...
36:19How does that fit in with light?
36:20You can have a lightweight, can't you?
36:22Yeah.
36:22You say lightweight when someone can't hold the alcohol.
36:24It can be heavy but not torrential.
36:27But a weight can be heavy.
36:28Heavy but not torrential.
36:30And you wait when you're hanging around.
36:31Should we lock in weight?
36:31Yeah, let's lock in weight.
36:32Will we lock in weight, please?
36:34Weight.
36:35Yeah.
36:36Well done, guys.
36:36Absolutely right.
36:37You can have a lightweight but not a sunny weight,
36:39a heavy weight but not a torrential weight.
36:40And if you're hanging around, you are waiting.
36:42Well done.
36:43Well, so, I want to go on a night out with Alana
36:44because apparently if you don't handle your drink,
36:46you're a lightweight.
36:47I love that.
36:48It could have been anything,
36:49but I love that that was your first go-to description of lightweight.
36:52Brilliant stuff.
36:53OK, so that is £300 to Phil and Alana.
36:58Right.
36:59Thank you, Henry, for your riddles.
37:01After that, congratulations to Jacob and Lauren.
37:04Lauren, you are through to the final with a prize pot of £1,900.
37:10But my goodness, Phil and Alana,
37:13you gave us such a great flurry of inspiration at the end of that round.
37:17You ended up with £1,700.
37:19It was just not quite enough in the end.
37:21How do you feel, Phil and Alana?
37:22High-worthy winners.
37:23Yeah, definitely.
37:24Yeah.
37:25It's been fantastic to have you both on the show.
37:28Now, I hope you've enjoyed it.
37:29It has been great.
37:30Good stuff.
37:31Right, after the break,
37:32Jacob and Lauren will face Henry's riddle run
37:34and we'll see how they cope under all that pressure
37:36with the cash that they've accumulated up for grabs.
37:39But first, Henry,
37:41have you got another riddle riddling away?
37:43Sure do.
37:44I'll stick to a brick
37:45or fly with elation at a uni-graduation.
37:49What am I?
37:50I'll give you the answer when we come back.
38:03Welcome back.
38:04This is ridiculous.
38:05Now, Henry, remind us of that riddle.
38:07The riddle was,
38:08I'll stick to a brick
38:10or fly with elation at a uni-graduation.
38:12What am I?
38:13Jacob and Lauren, you are our top riddle solvers.
38:15What do you think?
38:15I think it's mortar.
38:17Mortar sticks to a brick
38:18and that's the name of the cap that graduates wear.
38:20Yeah, absolutely right.
38:21Well done.
38:21Of course, you throw them into the air, don't you,
38:22when you graduate.
38:23That's why it's flying in the air.
38:24You're well done.
38:24Very good.
38:25Mortar.
38:25I feel like you might be the professor of riddles.
38:27We have our riddle master,
38:29but you're edging towards that kind of professional level,
38:32riddle solving.
38:33Jacob and Lauren, congratulations.
38:35You're about to face the riddle run.
38:37But before we get there,
38:38I mean, I'm intrigued.
38:39You work so well as a team.
38:42Even though we're very young,
38:43we've been married for 27 years now.
38:45Wow.
38:46So we've had a lot of practice.
38:47And I think for Lauren,
38:48I think she's got a really good mix
38:49of the creative and the analytical.
38:51She said she does data analysis.
38:52She mentioned that.
38:53But she sings as a hobby.
38:55So there's that right brain, left brain talent going on.
38:58And Lauren, what is it about the way Jacob works?
39:00He's so obviously very eloquent.
39:01Yes.
39:02But also just a sense of humor.
39:03And so it just approaches things with that sort of quickness
39:06and that sort of sense of humor.
39:07And you've got teenagers, haven't you, at home?
39:09Yeah.
39:10And are they keen quizzers like their parents?
39:12Yeah.
39:13Yeah.
39:13We've all enjoyed as a family watching the show.
39:15You have?
39:16Yeah.
39:16If we could tag them in now to do this for us,
39:18we would.
39:19They're good, are they?
39:20They're very good.
39:21Oh, wow.
39:22Well, this is very exciting.
39:23Maybe we should do a family version.
39:25Yeah, we should.
39:25Right.
39:26Well, you've managed to accrue £1,900 today.
39:30Teenagers can be expensive.
39:31What would that money be going to?
39:32Well, I think we'd take them on a trip
39:34to maybe a theme park on the continent,
39:36Efteling in the Netherlands,
39:37which is, I think, sort of a very beautiful and fun theme park
39:40that we'd love to take them to.
39:41Well, I'm sure they're watching on in great pride
39:43with the hope of a trip to a theme park
39:45at the end of the show.
39:46Right.
39:47As you know, to take home that money,
39:49you have to scale the dizzying heights
39:51of Henry's Riddle Rum.
39:54Henry, what is it?
39:55In my Riddle Run, you're going to be facing puzzles
39:57in which words are represented by combinations
39:59of pictures and letters.
40:00They're often known as rebus riddles,
40:02and the answers are phrases, sayings,
40:04or a combination of words that are familiar to all.
40:06Jacob and Lauren, I know you've seen the show,
40:09but let me explain that the rules here are simple.
40:12There are ten riddles in all,
40:14and you need six correct in 60 seconds
40:18to take home that money that you've built up so far.
40:21If you're not sure about a particular riddle,
40:24just say pass and then come back to it later on
40:26if you need to.
40:27And that's not all.
40:29If you do answer six correctly,
40:31you'll then have the chance to double your winnings
40:33and take home £3,800.
40:36But don't worry, if it all went wrong at this point,
40:40you'd still go home with our collectible teacup and saucer.
40:44First, though, you've got to face Henry's Riddle Run.
40:46I know you're ready. I can see it.
40:48You're raring to go. Good luck to both of you.
40:51Henry, over to you.
40:52Yeah, good luck, guys.
40:54OK, 60 seconds, and it's going to start
40:55as soon as your first riddle is revealed.
40:58Here we go. Let's play.
41:01Arrow cast? Top cast?
41:03Top cast? Pass.
41:05Redhead, caught red-handed.
41:07Correct.
41:08Never say never.
41:09Correct.
41:11Teacup.
41:11Correct.
41:13Eye for one, two eye for one.
41:14Pass.
41:17Partial credit.
41:19Pass.
41:21Head over heels.
41:22Correct.
41:23Nothing doing.
41:24Doing wrong, third wrong.
41:26Pass.
41:27Small change.
41:28Correct.
41:31Well, I say, I thought you'd get them all,
41:34but there were a couple in there, weren't there?
41:36But, listen, it doesn't matter.
41:37I know you're a bit stressed after that.
41:39I can see it in your face.
41:40But, listen, you can relax.
41:41You've got all six that you needed.
41:43Correct.
41:44Well done.
41:44It means you've just won £1,900.
41:48Well done.
41:50Henry, well, I think you started...
41:52You passed almost at the beginning, is that right?
41:55On the very first one, in fact.
41:56Yes.
41:56But you passed very quickly, which is always good,
41:57if you're not sure, it's always good to pass.
41:59Let's look at that first one, yeah.
42:00I know.
42:01This is the first one.
42:01You know what it is now?
42:02Overcast.
42:02Overcast, exactly.
42:03Yes.
42:03Yeah, very simple.
42:04Of course, arrows pointing over the word cast there.
42:07You've got the next three, absolutely right.
42:09Caught red-handed, of course.
42:11Handed is written in red, and it's been caught on a fishing rod.
42:14You've got this next one, absolutely right.
42:15Never say never.
42:16Very quick on that one.
42:17Of course, the word never saying.
42:19The word never, never say never.
42:20And this one you've got absolutely right as well.
42:22Teacup, of course.
42:23Yeah, cup written in T's, so teacup.
42:25Well done.
42:26This one you passed on.
42:28Any ideas now?
42:29For I?
42:30Yeah, nearly.
42:32What's the phrase?
42:33An eye for an eye.
42:34An eye for an eye.
42:35Yeah, exactly.
42:36An eye for an eye.
42:38Yeah, well done.
42:39This one, oh, yeah, this one was a tricky one, yeah.
42:41You said partial credit, which is close,
42:42but the correct answer is credit score.
42:44Credit score.
42:45Yeah, credit score, because it's credit and then a score,
42:48yeah, specifically.
42:49All to do with the positioning of where things are.
42:51Very quick on this one.
42:52Head over heels.
42:53Head over a pair of heels, yeah.
42:54Head over heels.
42:55And this is wrongdoing.
42:57You said doing wrong, which is an acceptable answer for that.
42:59Yeah, so wrongdoing or doing wrong, of course,
43:01doing spelt incorrectly at the bottom there.
43:03And, of course, here, small change, yeah.
43:05Well done.
43:05Well, you go home with a bit more than small change, don't you?
43:08Well done, you two.
43:10£1,900, Jacob and Lauren.
43:11Now, if that is enough for you, we're delighted.
43:14You can finish your game and you can leave with that right now.
43:18Or you could choose to face one last riddle.
43:21This time, you'll have just 20 seconds in which to give an answer.
43:26If you get it right, you will double your winnings
43:29and you'll take away £3,800.
43:32But if you can't find the right answer in that time,
43:36you'll lose everything and then you'll leave with nothing apart from,
43:38of course, the teacup and salsa.
43:42What would you like to do?
43:43We're going to stick.
43:44We're happy with what we've got.
43:46No discussion, you know that for sure.
43:48Yeah, we basically, you know, if we go home and we tell the kids
43:50we had £1,900, but instead we have a teacup,
43:55they would disown us.
43:56Yeah, even though that was in the riddles there, teacup, you got it.
44:00That's true.
44:01It's a lovely cup, but I think our kids would like the family trip more.
44:04They would like the family trip more.
44:05Totally understandable.
44:06You've been absolutely exceptional competitors today.
44:10It's been a joy to watch you work together
44:11and solve so many of Henry's riddles today.
44:15Jacob and Lauren, you're walking away with £1,900.
44:20But would you like to just test the theory here?
44:23Why not?
44:24Shall we check?
44:25Henry, what was going to be the last one?
44:27Had you chosen to play, you would have had 20 seconds to answer this.
44:31First place, walking for second, race, marching to second.
44:35Walking ahead, forward, forward.
44:37Full speed ahead.
44:38Second to first.
44:39Right, right, first, first.
44:41Right foot first, left foot seconds.
44:44One foot in front of the other.
44:46Yeah, forward to first.
44:48First gear, second gear, arrow.
44:51And that would have been your time.
44:52So you made the right choice.
44:54I've never been happier to fail at a riddle.
44:58You were getting kind of, you're in the right territory,
45:00but it's not to do with first or second specifically.
45:02If something's the first, what might also be called?
45:05Best foot forward?
45:06Best foot forward is the right answer.
45:08Yeah, that makes sense.
45:09Best foot forward, tricky one.
45:10I think you made the right choice to avoid it.
45:13Do they still have to wash your car?
45:15No, I think you're off the hook.
45:16They're off the hook.
45:16OK, good stuff.
45:18It's been wonderful to have you on the show.
45:20Congratulations.
45:20Well done, Jacob and Lauren.
45:22And that's it for today.
45:23Great show today.
45:24Great competitors.
45:26Amazing.
45:26I mean, you were so quick on those riddles.
45:27It was really, really extraordinary.
45:29Incredible work.
45:30Super stuff.
45:31Well, I hope you enjoyed watching at home as much as we did here.
45:34We'll see you next time for more Ridiculous Riddles.
45:37APPLAUSE
45:58We'll see you next time.
46:00We'll see you next time.
46:02We'll see you next time.
46:04We'll see you next time.
46:05We'll see you next time.
46:06We'll see you next time.
