00:00Hello, I'm Jeremy Vine, mover, shaker, future parish counsellor.
00:04And welcome to the show which takes two teams of fairly willing TV personalities
00:08and forces them to screw up their famous faces in a look of total confusion.
00:11It might just be the trickiest bit of telly you'll see all day.
00:15This is Celebrity Puzzling.
00:33Hello, welcome to a very exciting edition of Celebrity Puzzling.
00:36This show is a workout for the whole body and mind.
00:39So it's lucky we've got two such live and limber team captains.
00:42Our first is a national treasure.
00:44She always has a beautiful mind.
00:46It's the wonderful Carol Vorderman.
00:51And it must have been bog off on national treasures
00:53because she's joined by the ever-talented Sally Lindsay.
00:57How are you doing, Sally?
00:58I'm all right, but I didn't get the sequins memo.
01:01No, well, this is the thing. We're just watching...
01:03Bonus points, please!
01:04Yes, we may consider that.
01:06So we've met our team captains now.
01:08Let's meet our latest celebrity victims, I mean guests,
01:11with Carol is a star of one of the biggest bands of the 90s
01:14here to avoid a tragedy.
01:16It's Steps legend H.
01:19That old guest list.
01:21And joining Sally is BYOP night.
01:24Bring your own puzzler.
01:26Please welcome wine expert Olly Smith.
01:28Good to see you.
01:30H, obviously pop and all of that stuff, superb.
01:34Puzzling, the other P word.
01:35Yeah, do you know, I'm not going to lie,
01:37you are about to see how abysmal I am.
01:39Don't say that, H!
01:41It's about seeing shapes and I don't think you might be great.
01:45Also, the Specs, by the way, both of you.
01:48I know, right?
01:48Olly, come on.
01:49We got the Specs memo.
01:50Yes.
01:51It's goodnight from me and it's goodnight from him.
01:53Goodnight.
01:55Is it the new thing, Olly, that men, blokes, have thick glasses?
02:01I just wear them because my dad wore these in the 70s
02:05and I just thought he always looked a little bit like
02:07kind of Roger Moore on holiday.
02:08I'm going for that vibe.
02:09Love that.
02:10I love the vibe, I love it.
02:11OK, the sequins are blinding me, so let's get on with it.
02:14Every episode, our teams face a random selection of puzzles,
02:17meaning no two contests are ever the same.
02:19Over the fun, in inverted commas, rounds,
02:21you'll just want to accumulate as many points as possible.
02:24And that's important.
02:26You need to get points because you need to win.
02:28Oh, really?
02:30Yes, I'm going to say it.
02:31Wow.
02:31You need points so you can win it.
02:34OK.
02:34And for the winning celebrity guest,
02:35there is an added layer of luster
02:37as they will take home the amazing puzzling cube.
02:39Oh!
02:41Which will go very nicely next to, say,
02:44a multi-platinum record.
02:46Just mentioning age.
02:47Oh, look at that.
02:47So, there we are.
02:49A bougie bottle of wine.
02:50Joy.
02:50Yeah, and also, from Ollie's point of view,
02:52if it ever gets a bit squeaky,
02:54you can use red wine to oil it.
02:56I know, shall we?
02:57You really can.
02:58Let's get on with round one.
02:59It's time for our first puzzle.
03:01This is one us Brits are particularly good at
03:03because it's time to play Forman Orderly Q.
03:08Let us see how it works.
03:09A question will appear,
03:10but somehow our supercomputer has reordered each word
03:13alphabetically rather than how they should be written.
03:15So, here's an example.
03:17Can anyone have a bash at that?
03:19Who wrote the book Charlie and the Chocolate?
03:23Oh!
03:23Roald Dahl.
03:24Very good.
03:24So, it'll be Roald Dahl.
03:26Very good.
03:26You've got your eye in straight away.
03:28Roald Dahl, yes.
03:29Let's just unscramble and have a look here.
03:31Yeah.
03:32Capital letters can be useful just to see where the nouns are,
03:36the proper nouns.
03:37You've got to decipher the question and then buzz in
03:39when you know the answer in order to get the points.
03:42So, the question is, can you form an orderly queue?
03:44Time to find out.
03:45Fingers on buzzers, everyone.
03:46Here come the questions.
03:48Here's the first one.
03:55Sally.
03:56The Lion King.
03:57Yeah.
03:58I see Simba there.
03:59Yeah, let's have a look if it's right.
04:01The Lion King.
04:02Well done.
04:04Well done.
04:04And let's unscramble the question.
04:06Simba and Mufasa are lions who first appeared in which Disney film?
04:10Well done.
04:11Wow.
04:12Miss Lindsay, next question for you.
04:14Let's see it.
04:15Here we go.
04:20That's tricky.
04:23It's not easy.
04:25I've got it.
04:26I've suddenly got it.
04:27Shush, Jeremy Vine.
04:29Sorry.
04:30I thought I wanted to play.
04:34Oh, Carol's gone.
04:35Go on, mate.
04:36Lettuce.
04:37Is it lettuce?
04:39Oh, well done.
04:41Well done, mate.
04:42Well done.
04:43I think that's great.
04:45Iceberg is a variety of which green salad vegetable you have an iceberg lettuce?
04:51Yes.
04:51Carol Vorderman.
04:53Wow.
04:53What can we say?
04:54OK, on to another.
04:56I can't help playing along.
05:03Oh, Carol.
05:05March.
05:06Oh, well done.
05:07OK.
05:08Is she right with March?
05:10You're right with March.
05:12I can see St Patrick's Day.
05:14Let's have a look.
05:15St Patrick's Day takes place in which month of the year?
05:18I unscramble that, but I didn't know the answer.
05:23Let's see what the next question is.
05:26Scrambled question.
05:27There it is.
05:34Olly.
05:35It's the bishop.
05:36Bishop.
05:36Yes.
05:37Yes.
05:38Let's see if it's the bishop.
05:40Yeah.
05:41Yes.
05:43Unscramble, please.
05:44What chess piece moves only on diagonals?
05:49I don't know that.
05:50OK.
05:51Next one.
05:53There's your question all scrambled up.
06:04Carol.
06:06Eyes.
06:07Is it eyes?
06:10Well done.
06:12Wow.
06:12Amazing.
06:13So eyes, oh, you've got rods and cones.
06:15OK, let's have a look at the question.
06:16I've got rods and cones.
06:16Rods and cones are cells in what human sense organ?
06:21Yeah.
06:21Are they at the back?
06:22Where are they, Carol, the rods and cones?
06:24They're in my eye.
06:28They're sorting the eye traffic.
06:29Yeah.
06:30As long as they're working, you don't need to know anything about them.
06:33OK, our last final form and orderly cue question.
06:36Here it comes, all scrambled.
06:38Oh.
06:44Carol.
06:47Bodicea.
06:47I was going to say that.
06:49Bodicea is your answer.
06:51Yeah.
06:52Oh, Boudicca.
06:53Boudicca, she's called...
06:55OK, let's have a look at the question.
06:57Prazo Tagus was the husband of which Icene...
07:01Wow.
07:02And she's the only one I know.
07:05I'm glad I don't worry about it.
07:07I'm playing well.
07:08I'm feeling it, mate.
07:09Let's have a look at the scores, shall we?
07:11At the end of that round, Sally and Ollie have four.
07:14Carol and H have eight.
07:16Oh!
07:17That was...
07:19Wow.
07:20There we go.
07:21Hopefully you managed to reorder those questions at home.
07:23Well done if you had success there.
07:25OK, in a moment it will be time for our teams to head over to the letterbox for their first
07:29game there.
07:30Sally can be designated driver.
07:32Ollie has probably already had a glass of cheeky night.
07:35This game muddles things up a bit.
07:37It's time to play Path Words.
07:41This is how Path Words works.
07:42You're going to see three rows of five jumbled letters, which must be rearranged, to complete three words.
07:47Letters highlighted are locked in place.
07:49The letters on physical tiles are those to be rearranged, but the tiles can only be moved vertically within their
07:56column.
07:56So, anyone want to have a go at this?
07:59Bilge.
08:00OK, good.
08:00That is correct.
08:01B-I-L-G-E.
08:03Mambo for the bottom, maybe?
08:05Try the second one.
08:06And aloft.
08:06Aloft.
08:07Oh, yeah, well done.
08:07Bilge, aloft, mambo.
08:10Very good.
08:10You can only go up and down.
08:11Only go up vertically.
08:12Yeah.
08:13You're against the clock to complete all three words, and we'll ask Sally and Ollie to head over to the
08:18letterbox first to play Path Words.
08:21APPLAUSE
08:24Sally and Ollie, in your first puzzle, the first letter of each word plus two extra letters will be locked
08:29once you're happy.
08:29Please press the buzzer.
08:31So, for three points, here's your first path word.
08:34Your time starts now.
08:36OK.
08:37What's this one?
08:37So, G, let's have a look, P.
08:41Go, go, go, wait a minute.
08:43It could be S-A.
08:45No, it can't be the H.
08:47Go, yeah.
08:47No, it's not.
08:48Goose.
08:48Goose.
08:49Goose.
08:49Yes, it is.
08:50OK, goose.
08:51So, what's that?
08:53Yes.
08:53Pant.
08:55Panty.
08:56Panty.
08:56Panty.
08:57No, that's not right.
08:57That isn't a word.
08:58So, what's that?
09:00Panty.
09:01Panty, yeah.
09:01Panty.
09:02Let's try that.
09:03And then it's...
09:04No.
09:04No, it's not that.
09:05OK.
09:07Could it be...
09:08Parry.
09:08Maybe we've gone wrong with the...
09:10Tenth.
09:10It's parry a word.
09:11Parry is a word.
09:13Hit the button.
09:14You got it.
09:14Oh, yeah.
09:17Parry.
09:17Tenth words.
09:18That's a good collection of words, isn't it?
09:20Yeah, parry.
09:21It's a parry, yeah.
09:23Yes, exactly.
09:24Sounds like a karate move or something.
09:25Yeah, that was some skin of teeth, dear.
09:27It really was.
09:28Oh, well done, though.
09:28It's going to get harder as we lock one letter fewer.
09:30For your trouble, this one is worth four points.
09:32And here it is.
09:33Your time starts now.
09:36So, that could be...
09:38Could that be shade at the top?
09:40S-H-A-D-E.
09:42S-D-A-N-T.
09:44Shade.
09:45OK, that's good.
09:46And then...
09:47You...
09:48OK.
09:49Oh, no.
09:50Wait a minute.
09:50Oh, I want to...
09:51Oh, I want to...
09:56E-R-E-R is always a good idea.
10:00Inter.
10:00No.
10:00Ooh, uh...
10:02No.
10:03One...
10:03Wait a second.
10:04We're stuck on shade.
10:05No, we are.
10:05Maybe we should lose shade.
10:07Oh, hang on.
10:08OK, what else could it be?
10:13Oh...
10:13Oh...
10:13No, it can't be anything else.
10:14Ten seconds.
10:15Oh, no.
10:17Er...
10:17Wait a minute.
10:21Er...
10:21Oh, no.
10:22Oh, and now I'm thinking you kind of...
10:24You had inter, but you didn't have outer.
10:26Yeah.
10:27Would outer help us if you could just put that R there?
10:30Yeah.
10:31And...
10:32And then inert.
10:33Inert.
10:33Inert.
10:34Inert.
10:35Oh, there we go.
10:36So bad.
10:37Shade, outer, inert.
10:38Way wide.
10:39Bad luck.
10:40So we're cranking up the difficulty in the third puzzle.
10:42We'll only lock the first letter per word.
10:44The correct answer, though, is worth a whopping five points.
10:46But you can rescue this now.
10:48Sally, Ollie, here we go.
10:49Your time starts now.
10:52K-A-W.
10:53Fixed.
10:54Kind.
10:56I'm thinking C-K.
10:58Oh, kinky?
10:59OK, yeah.
10:59No, no, no, no, no.
11:00No.
11:02Er...
11:03What is that?
11:04Er, let's have a look.
11:05King.
11:06Oh, hang on.
11:06Is that...
11:08Can I do kind?
11:09No.
11:10So is it in, um...
11:11Oh, gosh, where were this one?
11:13No, not me.
11:14I'm trying to think.
11:15So it's got to be kind...
11:17Oh, yeah, there you go.
11:17Is that that?
11:18So it's got to be something like...
11:21No, that's not that.
11:22Kindy.
11:23Kind.
11:24Let's see.
11:25What's this?
11:26Er...
11:27Knack.
11:27Oh, no.
11:29Um...
11:29Knack.
11:30Knack.
11:30Good.
11:32Knack.
11:32Knack is a word.
11:34Knack is a word.
11:36Er...
11:38Oh, no way!
11:39Really bad.
11:41Let's have a think here.
11:43Would you go affix?
11:46X is always kind of helpful.
11:47I suppose there's so few words to have it,
11:49but affix is a...
11:50Yes, and then windy.
11:51Oh, I love this.
11:53That's tough, that one.
11:54We've got knack, affix, and windy.
11:58How did you get on at home?
12:00Did you manage to beat Sally and Ollie?
12:02Well done, both.
12:03Anyway, your trip to the letterbox has scored you three points.
12:06Carol and H haven't played yet.
12:07We'll find out how they get on on the other side of this looming ad break.
12:11We'll be back right after this.
12:12See you soon.
12:16Have a go at this path words puzzle.
12:18Swap the letters in just one column to reveal the answers.
12:22Choose wisely.
12:30Did you manage to solve this path words puzzle?
12:34If you got these answers, well done.
12:39Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling.
12:41Our teams are remaining stoic in the face of persistent puzzlement,
12:45and I applaud them for it.
12:46Before the break, Sally and Ollie took on path words and scored three points.
12:49There's a little bit of a window here for Carol and H to move ahead in this round.
12:54Can they bank some points with their turn at the letterbox?
12:57Remember, you're going to see three rows of five jumbled letters,
13:00which must be rearranged to complete three five-letter words.
13:04Letters highlighted are locked,
13:05while the letters on physical tiles are those to be rearranged,
13:09albeit only vertically.
13:10Once you've moved the tiles into the right place,
13:12hit the button, please.
13:13Carol and H, here is your first path word.
13:16Your time starts now.
13:20You are H down the left.
13:21I would say N.
13:26And...
13:28Unite.
13:29Unite.
13:30Unite.
13:30Unite.
13:31Unite.
13:32Unite along the top.
13:33Ra.
13:33Ra.
13:34Ra.
13:35Ra.
13:36Ra.
13:36Ra.
13:37Roast.
13:37Yeah, well done.
13:38Roast.
13:39Roast.
13:39Roast.
13:39And hatch.
13:41And they've all gone green.
13:42Unite.
13:43Roast.
13:44Hatch.
13:44Oh, it matches your dress.
13:45Look.
13:47Look at that.
13:49That was well done.
13:51And rapids, as we saw earlier,
13:53the difficulty increases as we lock the first letters
13:55and only one extra letter now.
13:57So, for four points this time, here it is, guys.
14:00Your time starts now.
14:03NFW down the left.
14:04OK.
14:06And a locked H.
14:08Ooh.
14:09I don't know.
14:10I'm just...
14:11Fart!
14:12What's a word?
14:13Well, that is a word.
14:14Oh, right, come on.
14:16Er, right, what could that be?
14:18Is Earth worth...
14:20Mm-mm-mm-mm.
14:22You carry on thinking.
14:26Erm...
14:27Oh, la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
14:28Come on.
14:30N-A.
14:32Natch.
14:33Yeah.
14:35Mm.
14:36Oh!
14:38This is a hard bit.
14:39Tricky.
14:40You've got to be quick.
14:41You've only got five seconds left.
14:46Oh, I think I would have gone with farts and just hit it for last.
14:49Yeah!
14:50Really, just put it for last.
14:51What is this one?
14:52What could be warts?
14:52Well, let me just show you.
14:53You're very nearly there with this one.
14:54Let me show you, OK?
14:56You've got a niche.
14:56Oh!
14:57It's a niche.
14:58And then you go furry.
15:01This one.
15:02Oh, that is a disappointment.
15:04Oh, that is such a shame.
15:04Oh, that...
15:05Sorry, I was abysmal.
15:07Yeah, the niche furry warts.
15:08This time, I will only lock the first letter of each word, but solving the puzzle is worth
15:13a huge five points.
15:14OK?
15:14If you're ready, your time starts now.
15:16OK.
15:17Oh.
15:19So, where would that be?
15:22I'm just going to move around here.
15:25Er...
15:26Picks.
15:27Just like that.
15:29Just like that there.
15:30Put that there.
15:33Erm...
15:34I'm just playing a little bit.
15:37There.
15:38Er...
15:39Er...
15:39Nymph.
15:40Very good.
15:42Nymph.
15:43Pixel.
15:44And third!
15:45No way!
15:47Yes!
15:47What about it?
15:50That was great, because the X has caused trouble.
15:54As we know, nymph, pixel, third.
15:56Listen, great.
15:57Please head back to your seats.
15:59Wow!
16:04So, how many puzzles did you solve at home?
16:07Carol and H, your visit to the letterbox scored you eight points.
16:10Wow!
16:11Really good.
16:12Let's have a look at the overall scoreboard.
16:14So, Sally and Ollie have seven points.
16:18Carol and H are on 60.
16:20Oh!
16:21Wow!
16:21That can all change, right?
16:24You said you were no good at puzzling.
16:26Oh!
16:27You clearly are.
16:27You did actually say that.
16:29You totally did.
16:29But it can all change, right?
16:31So, yeah, it can, it can.
16:32The next puzzle should be as easy as one, two, three, or, if you prefer, H, as easy as
16:37five, six, seven, eight.
16:38Oh!
16:40So, alas, I've yet to tempt H into showing me the dance routine song.
16:44But the night is young and I live in hope.
16:46OK, here comes the puzzle, which we call three, two, one.
16:51On the screen, you'll see a grid of answers.
16:53Three of those answers will be connected.
16:55Also, two of those answers will be connected, so it leaves an odd one out.
16:59Can you find all the right connections to solve the puzzle?
17:02So, have a look here.
17:03So, we're looking for a trio and a pair.
17:06Fast forward.
17:06Anyone?
17:07Yeah.
17:08Yeah.
17:08Play, rewind, fast forward.
17:10OK, classic sort of cassette instructions, yeah.
17:12Spam inbox.
17:13Which is on your computer.
17:15Yeah, computer.
17:16Bite is the rogue on its own.
17:17OK, let's see if that's right.
17:19That's it.
17:19It's worth remembering when forming your connections, they can't go diagonally.
17:23OK, guys?
17:24Right.
17:24Here is your first three, two, one puzzle, Carol and H.
17:28Stone, ivory, blancmange, iron, eggshell, porcelain.
17:33OK.
17:33We want a trio and a pair.
17:37Oh, my gosh.
17:38So, Iron Age, Stone Age.
17:40Oh, well done.
17:41Yeah.
17:42OK, that's two.
17:43Yeah.
17:44Ivory, porcelain.
17:46And eggshell.
17:47I've got those as my...
17:48Are they colours?
17:49Are they?
17:50Yeah, they would be, I guess.
17:51Like posh terms for magnolia.
17:55Yeah.
17:56Yeah.
17:57Blumange seems the odd one out there.
17:59OK, so we're going three is ivory, eggshell, porcelain.
18:04I would think.
18:05The two, Stone Age, Iron Age and blank munch is the odd one out.
18:11Yeah.
18:11Oh.
18:12All right.
18:13You've given us ivory, eggshell, porcelain as the trio.
18:17But we don't know why.
18:17Are they right?
18:19Yes!
18:20And for the exact reasons, although age, you could be even more specific, I think ivory,
18:24eggshell and porcelain are shades of white.
18:27OK.
18:27Sally and Ollie, now it's your turn.
18:29Here we go.
18:29Good luck.
18:31Eagles, Irons, Woolpack, Hoovers, Bees, Queen Vic.
18:35OK.
18:36Well, I think Woolpack and Queen Vic are pubs.
18:38Yes, they're pubs in soap operas.
18:40Yeah.
18:41Hang on a minute.
18:42Eagles, Irons and Hoovers.
18:44Oh, what?
18:46So...
18:46Oh, hang on, hang on.
18:47I think this might be a football nonsense.
18:49Ooh.
18:50Is it the Eagles, Irons and Bees or something to do with football?
18:53OK.
18:53I don't know why I'm thinking...
18:55The Irons is like...
18:56They do sound...
18:57I think it's West Ham or something.
18:58Let's go for...
18:58We're just going to guess because I don't really know.
19:00Yeah.
19:00Eagles, Irons and Bees.
19:02That's the three.
19:03Yeah.
19:03And then Woolpack and Queen Vic because they're soap opera pubs and Hoovers is out.
19:08Odd one out.
19:09It's probably completely wrong.
19:11Right.
19:11Let's see if you're right.
19:13Well done.
19:14And actually bang on with the reasons.
19:17Isn't it?
19:17Wow!
19:18Obviously soap opera pubs.
19:19I know the...
19:20Oh, Brentford of the Bees, of course.
19:21OK.
19:22Yes.
19:23Eagles of Crystal Palace and you're right, you were thinking about West Ham for Bahamas.
19:27Yeah, what was that?
19:28Well done.
19:29That came out the back of my skull.
19:30Must be some of that.
19:31You're amazing.
19:31I've always said that and I'll continue to say that.
19:33You're amazing.
19:34Amazing!
19:35Hoovers was the odd one out.
19:37Here's the next one for you, Carol and H.
19:41Sorrow, heartache, gallon, race, care, acre.
19:45Sorrow and heartache, maybe emotions.
19:47Race, care and acre are all anagrams.
19:51Oh, yeah.
19:52Oh, OK.
19:52Yeah.
19:53And then sorrow and heartache.
19:55Heartache.
19:55They are feelings or emotions.
19:57And then gallon is...
19:58And gallon is...
19:58Yeah.
19:59A measurement, yeah.
20:00So we're going...
20:01Our three is all across the bottom.
20:04Race, care, acre are all anagrams...
20:08Yes.
20:08...of each other.
20:09Got it.
20:09Sorrow and heartache mean the same thing.
20:13And gallon is the odd one out.
20:15Well done, Borders.
20:16Let's see if you're right.
20:18Yay!
20:19Good spot, Ollie.
20:21Good spot on the anagrams.
20:23Sally and Ollie, here's your next puzzle.
20:26Great Bear, Superior, Windermere, Little Bear, Caucasus, Himalayas.
20:31Superior and Windermere are both lakes.
20:32Yes.
20:33Great Bear and Little Bear.
20:37Ah, Caucasus, Himalayas.
20:39I thought they were constellations.
20:41Great Bear, that's the...
20:42Yeah, it's a Great Bear.
20:43The Great Bear.
20:43Is there a Little Bear?
20:44Maybe there is a Little Bear.
20:45There is, I don't think there is.
20:47What's Caucasus?
20:48I'm thinking those three at the bottom.
20:51You think they could do...
20:51I don't honestly.
20:53I don't know, I'm not...
20:54So if the Great Bear is the constellation, Little Bear, Caucasus and Himalayas...
20:57And they're all sort of up...
20:58Mountains.
21:00We'll need an answer soon.
21:01It's a constellation, isn't it?
21:02Great Bear, Little Bear.
21:03Yeah.
21:04I honestly don't know.
21:05I'm happy to go with you.
21:05Shall we go for it?
21:06Let's go for it.
21:06I'm sorry if it's wrong.
21:07No, that's fine.
21:08I always adore you.
21:09You still send me wine?
21:10Always send you wine.
21:11I've got the white rose on standby and I will pump it straight to your house.
21:14Thank you very much.
21:15OK, we're going to go for...
21:17It's completely us.
21:18Our three are...
21:19Little Bear, Caucasus, Himalayas.
21:22OK.
21:22And then Superior and Windermere are lakes and the Great Bear is the odd one out
21:25because it's a constellation.
21:27I like the sound of this.
21:28Let's just have a look.
21:29Are you right?
21:31Oh!
21:33Let's reveal the answer.
21:34I thought...
21:34So you've actually got three lakes at the top.
21:37Great Bear is a lake.
21:38Great Bear is a lake.
21:39Superior and Windermere are all famous lakes.
21:43Caucasus, Himalayas.
21:44You were very close on that your reasoning is mountain ranges.
21:47So you're brilliant on that, Sally.
21:48But you just put another mountain in there.
21:51Little Bear is the odd one out.
21:52So there we go.
21:54But well played.
21:55Carol, H, here's the next one.
21:59Strange, odd, weird, McCoy, bod, bizarre.
22:03OK.
22:04So weird and bizarre obviously mean the same thing.
22:07Uh-huh.
22:19Strange and McCoy as the two.
22:32Maybe.
22:33Doctors.
22:33That's what we'll have to go with.
22:35And bod.
22:38All right.
22:38Let us see if they've got it right.
22:42What?
22:43How?
22:44Not for those reasons.
22:46Not only right but for the right reasons as well.
22:48Dr McCoy is on Star Trek.
22:49Dr McCoy.
22:50Yes.
22:50Oh, I was thinking Sylvester McCoy.
22:52The trio were synonyms for strange.
22:54The pair were fictional doctors and the odd one out is bod.
22:58Final puzzle this.
22:59It's time for Sally and Ollie.
23:01Here we go.
23:02We're having fun in this round.
23:03Notice, canoe, kayak, clockwork.
23:05Rotator, madam.
23:08OK.
23:09Canoe and kayak, waterborne, emergency transport.
23:14Yeah.
23:14Do you think clock and rotator could be connected?
23:16I'm thinking, you know, grandfather clock or madam clock's not a thing, is it?
23:20Yeah.
23:20Rotator, what's a rotator?
23:22It goes around.
23:22Is it like a cog?
23:23Yeah, something that goes round and round.
23:25Yeah, the clock goes round and round.
23:27Is there something like, I don't know what, I think madam might be the odd one out, I think,
23:32but I don't know why.
23:33Yeah.
23:33Canoe, kayak, why a notice, clock and rotator connected?
23:37We need an answer.
23:38Devilry, Jeremy.
23:39I know, it's devilry.
23:41Do you think, is there anything that could go with a third of that?
23:44I just don't think madam rotator...
23:45I don't know.
23:46Well, we don't know it, do we?
23:47No.
23:48Notice, clock and rotator are the three, but we've no idea why.
23:52OK.
23:52Canoe and kayak, obviously, because they're boats and madam, because...
23:58We don't know what it...
23:59We don't know.
23:59All right, all right.
24:01Let's see if it's right or not.
24:03No.
24:04Now, I threw a little glance at Carol, because Carol's got a technique for this one.
24:07Go on.
24:07Yeah.
24:08So, kayak, madam and rotator are...
24:12Palindros.
24:13Palindros.
24:13Oh!
24:14So, let's have a look at the actual answer here.
24:16Wow.
24:17They're words that go the same forwards as backwards.
24:20Yeah.
24:20And then, clock as in pay attention to.
24:23Yeah.
24:23I clocked him.
24:24I clocked him on the street corner.
24:25I noticed him.
24:26Yeah, that makes complete sense.
24:28So, I'm sorry it tripped you up there.
24:29OK.
24:30At the end of that round, Sally and Ollie have nine points.
24:33Carol and H have got 22.
24:37Hopefully you've got some connections at home and you managed to solve some of those puzzles.
24:42Great work if you did.
24:43We will take a quick break now to allow our teams to begin with the backbiting and angry recriminations.
24:48And we'll see you for more celebrity puzzling after this.
24:54If you want to keep puzzling, see if you can pick which letter to move one space up or down
24:59in the alphabet to solve this up or down puzzle.
25:01Best of luck.
25:09Have you figured out which letter to move to solve this up or down puzzle?
25:13If you did, well done.
25:18Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling.
25:19And please feel free to stamp your loyalty card.
25:22If you watch just five more episodes, you get one free.
25:24So far, Carol and H and Sally and Ollie have been playing as twosomes.
25:28Things are about to have a little shake-up.
25:30Where are we, Sally, on this at the moment?
25:32Just give us a tactical update.
25:33We're quite behind, Jeremy.
25:35Quite behind.
25:35But in terms of looking forwards at the goal and the puzzling cue...
25:39Yeah, OK, you know, I'm not giving up yet, love.
25:40No?
25:40Is there a tactical change?
25:42What?
25:42In football, you'd change, maybe, put in a sweeper?
25:45We haven't got any sweepers.
25:47It's just me and him.
25:49We know what we know.
25:50Yep, we're in the dugout.
25:51We know a lot of stuff, but not necessarily what they're asking.
25:54That's it.
25:55That's it.
25:55H, how are you feeling?
25:56You were giving us all this nonsense about not being any good at puzzling.
25:59But talking about change, it's all about to change.
26:02Because I think it's me and you now, right?
26:04Well, let's see.
26:05This is where we do encourage H and Ollie to indulge in a little solo puzzling.
26:09In this round, they face off head-to-head on the buzzer, gentlemen, without the help of
26:14their loyal team captains.
26:15Oh.
26:15The game they'll be wandering into without the usual hand-holding is called Up or Down.
26:22Here's how it works.
26:23Next, you will see a clue plus a series of letters on the screen.
26:26Each letter has been moved either up or down by one step.
26:28For example, if the letter B appears, it means it's actually an A or a C.
26:33You've got to unscramble the code.
26:35So we've got a Jane Austen novel here.
26:37It's only four letters.
26:38Any one of our guests want to say?
26:40Emma.
26:41OK, so the E is good.
26:43All right, so Emma it would have been.
26:44To be fair, if you'd guessed sense and sensibility based on that board,
26:48it would not be promising.
26:50OK, you've seen how it works.
26:51There are five puzzles to solve.
26:53It's the guests only here, so it's H and Ollie on the buzzers.
26:57Here is your first one.
27:00Five letters.
27:01The clue is musical instrument.
27:07Oh.
27:08Ollie.
27:09I've buzzed.
27:10I shouldn't have buzzed.
27:12H, you can steal.
27:15Cello.
27:15Let's have a look.
27:17Yay!
27:19He's got a Diane.
27:21He's the musician.
27:23Of course, he spends his time with instruments.
27:25Very good.
27:25Wow.
27:26OK, this is good.
27:27Fingers on buzzers.
27:28Next one.
27:30Four letters.
27:31Currency.
27:37H.
27:38Euro.
27:40Euro.
27:42Euro.
27:43Yay!
27:44Thanks.
27:47Next question.
27:49Up or down.
27:51They have five letters.
27:53Organ.
27:56H.
27:57Oh, I may have got that wrong.
27:59Say it.
28:00Lungs.
28:01Lungs is wrong.
28:03Ollie DeSteel.
28:07Liver.
28:08Liver.
28:09Is the right answer.
28:10Well done.
28:12Got one.
28:12Oh, you guys.
28:14Next one.
28:17Five letters.
28:18Brad Pitt film.
28:24Ollie.
28:25Seven.
28:25Seven.
28:27Yes!
28:29I was thinking White's Club.
28:33Next piece.
28:36Seven letters.
28:37Comic book character.
28:45H.
28:46Asterix.
28:46Is it Asterix?
28:49Well done.
28:49Well done.
28:50Asterix.
28:52Is the right answer.
28:54Oh, wow.
28:54Asterix takes us to the end of that very rapid round.
28:57Well done.
28:57Yeah, you smashed that.
28:58It was like a boxing match where you got a flurry of punches in the first round.
29:02Yeah.
29:02Well, I've surprised myself today.
29:03Well, you've scored five.
29:04Ollie scored three.
29:06So, both did pretty well.
29:07Let's look at the totals.
29:08Well, once we put those in.
29:09Sally and Ollie have 12.
29:13Carol and H have got 27.
29:17That's quite a commanding lead.
29:19Yeah, it's commanding but you can turn it around challenges.
29:22Yeah.
29:22I hope you managed to get a few of those at home.
29:24If you did, well played.
29:25Is it getting hot in here or is it just the Cornish pasty I've microwaved
29:28and hidden in my jacket pocket?
29:31Adley will never know for sure because it's time to play our next perplexing puzzle.
29:35It is time for Heat Map.
29:39So, here's how it works for each puzzle in this round.
29:42The players are shown an image of classic QWERTY keyboard here.
29:45You've got the clue at the top and the letters in the answer are highlighted on the keyboard.
29:51All the others are dulled out.
29:52What's more, the letters are colour coded.
29:55If it features in the answer once, it's green.
29:57If it's twice, it's orange.
29:59If it's three or more times, it's red.
30:01So, anyone?
30:02Sean Connery.
30:03Sean Connery.
30:03It looks like we're only choosing for about 67, aren't we?
30:07Chat.
30:07It's Sean Connery, yes.
30:09How many ends?
30:10Three ends.
30:11That's why it's red.
30:12Okay.
30:12That's our example.
30:13Charlie and Ollie, you're up first.
30:15Here's your first puzzle for two points.
30:19In an orchard.
30:20Okay.
30:23Okay.
30:24At least three Es.
30:25Apple trees.
30:26Apple trees.
30:27Apple trees.
30:28Yeah.
30:29Apple...
30:30Apple...
30:31Apple...
30:32A-P-P-L-E.
30:34Trees.
30:34Apple trees.
30:35Apple tree.
30:36Apple tree.
30:38Well done.
30:39I don't know where the S came from.
30:40The S arrived and disappeared.
30:42Well done, you.
30:43Well done, apple tree, you got that.
30:45Okay, the next one for Carolyn H. Here we go, your first one.
30:48On the keyboard.
30:5080s US cop show.
30:51Oh, gosh.
30:52And there are at least three I's.
30:56Magnum, no.
30:57It's not CSI or anything.
30:59I was going to say chips was a cop show, wasn't it?
31:02It was the one in the wheelchair.
31:03US cop show.
31:05Um...
31:05Dukes of Hasno.
31:10Um...
31:10Don Thingy, Miami Vice.
31:13Oh, well done.
31:14Miami Vice, is that your answer?
31:15Yes.
31:15Well done.
31:16OK, is Miami Vice the right answer?
31:18Oh!
31:20Oh!
31:21OK.
31:22Next question, please.
31:24This one is for Sally and Ollie.
31:27Who done it novel R and U in at least three times?
31:31Through V.
31:32Oh, I thought it was death on R but it's not.
31:34There's no in.
31:36Uh...
31:36Three U's.
31:37Yeah, murder...
31:38There's got to be murder in it.
31:40Murder...
31:42Murder by...
31:44Oh...
31:45Candlelight.
31:46Could it be candlelight?
31:48Candle...
31:48No, there's no M.
31:49Death.
31:50Death.
31:50Oh, death on the Nile.
31:52No, there's no M.
31:53Come on, we need no answer.
31:54Death by murder.
31:55Death by murder.
31:56OK.
31:57We don't know.
31:59You can steal for a point.
32:01It is the Thursday murder club.
32:04The Thursday murder club.
32:06Yeah, so it's...
32:07What?
32:07What?
32:07Let's have a look.
32:09The Thursday murder club.
32:10That's why there were so many U's, because they had club and Thursday.
32:15All right, Carolyn H, here's your next one.
32:17Brilliant.
32:18That was done.
32:19Comedy duo.
32:20OK.
32:22At least three A's.
32:23Comedy duo.
32:23Let's think of them.
32:25So, we've got Laurel and Hardy.
32:26Morecambe and Wise.
32:27Ant and Dec.
32:28Does Laurel and Hardy work?
32:32Yeah, Laurel.
32:33Laurel and Hardy.
32:35Yeah, perfect.
32:35Laurel and Hardy.
32:36Well done.
32:37Ooh, is it Dear Laurel and Hardy?
32:39Let's see.
32:40Yeah, we go right back to the beginning with them.
32:43Aw.
32:44OK, comedy duo Laurel and Hardy, well done, you got that right.
32:47Sally and Ollie, here's your next...
32:48Well done.
32:50Comfort food.
32:51Aw.
32:52Take your pick.
32:53We need it.
32:54So, at least three A's, and quite a lot that are in there twice.
32:57E-T-O-S-B-N.
33:00Wow.
33:01Well, we could just go through them all.
33:03I mean, moussaka, lasagna, pizza, there's none of those.
33:07Um, hang on a sec.
33:09Go on.
33:10Is it anything like so, like bacon and eggs, kind of a fry-up or bubble and squeak, that sort
33:15of thing?
33:16Oh, there you go.
33:16What?
33:16Oh, no, there's no Q.
33:18No, there's no C.
33:20Comfort food.
33:21Oh, comfort food.
33:22Oh, comfort food.
33:22Steak's in there.
33:24S-T-E-A-K.
33:26Yeah.
33:27Steak-bake.
33:28Steak-bake?
33:29Steak-bake?
33:29No, no.
33:30No, it's only 1K.
33:311K.
33:32Steak...
33:33Mmm.
33:33And...
33:34Onion-nose.
33:36Steak and...
33:37Oh, so not good meat.
33:38Oh, we need an answer.
33:39I'm really sorry, I can't see it.
33:42No answer?
33:44No.
33:44No.
33:45First deal.
33:47We think it's steak and something.
33:49Yeah.
33:49But we can't figure out what it is.
33:51OK, no answer from our opposing team.
33:54All right, let's see.
33:56Oh!
33:56Baked beans on toast.
33:58Wow, we were nowhere near, were we?
34:00Baked beans on toast.
34:02Oof.
34:02Oh.
34:03Carol and H, your last one.
34:04Right.
34:05Coming now.
34:06You're doing well.
34:07Old tech.
34:08Old tech.
34:09And we've got at least three Rs.
34:12What is old tech?
34:14Oh, my gosh.
34:15So...
34:16Computer.
34:16Fax machine.
34:17What's the Y?
34:19Fax machine.
34:20Telex.
34:21Telegraph.
34:23Er...
34:24Homing Pigeon.
34:25Radial.
34:27Radial.
34:28I love telegram.
34:30Er...
34:30Er...
34:31C-case.
34:33Oh, hang on.
34:34Card.
34:36Oh, what was it called?
34:38Er...
34:38We're getting close to that moment.
34:41We know, Jeremy.
34:43Will we time out?
34:45Show us something out.
34:47Give us anything.
34:48Well, Shay, say something.
34:50Telegraph.
34:51Telegraph.
34:52There's no tea there, yeah.
34:54OK.
34:55Sally and Ollie.
34:57I've got nothing.
34:58No, I can't see it.
34:59No?
34:59All right, let's see.
35:01Record player.
35:02Oh.
35:04I was thinking it was going to be something like carry a pigeon.
35:06Yeah, that's right.
35:07Telegram, telegraph.
35:08Telegram, telegraph.
35:09Yeah.
35:10So, record player.
35:11OK.
35:12OK.
35:12At the end of that round of heatmap, let's see what's happening.
35:15Sally and Ollie are cooling down.
35:1814.
35:18Yeah.
35:19Carol and H are on fire.
35:21They have 32.
35:22Wow.
35:22It's impressive.
35:25Are you beating our celebrities so far?
35:27It is time for our penultimate round.
35:29In this one, both teams will be tackling the letterbox and the fastest team to solve their
35:32puzzle will receive two bonus points.
35:36Everyone go, ooh.
35:37Ooh.
35:38As well as a healthy boost to their self-confidence.
35:40Not that they're lacking in that department.
35:42So, let's get ready to take on the puzzle we call fenundrum.
35:48I'll just quickly show you how this works.
35:50You will see three anagrams, each a letter longer than the one before.
35:53You must rearrange the tiles to solve the five-letter anagram before moving on to the six-letter
35:59one and so on.
36:01So, yes, go on, have a look.
36:02Anything...
36:03Pluck.
36:03Pluck, OK.
36:05Second one?
36:06Tunnel.
36:07Tunnel.
36:07Tunnel, yep.
36:08Top one?
36:10Buttons.
36:10But, yes.
36:11Weirdly, that's actually backwards, yeah.
36:13Buttons.
36:14Buttons, tunnel, pluck.
36:16And, as ever, you'll be against the clock.
36:17So, as soon as you've solved the third anagram, hit the button to stop the clock.
36:21You'll score two points per solved word.
36:23If you complete all three anagrams faster than your opponents, you will receive two bonus
36:28points.
36:28So, because Carol and H are leading and so impressive today, head over to the letterbox
36:33first, please, to face your fenundrum.
36:39As soon as you solve the third fenundrum, just hit the button to stop the clock.
36:42Your time starts now.
36:47Drift.
36:48Well done.
36:50Paul.
36:50Drift is right.
36:51Paul.
36:52People.
36:53People.
36:53Well done.
36:54Scoot, scuba, something.
36:58People.
36:59People.
36:59People's right.
37:00Scuba.
37:01A.
37:03Scooblyoo, B.
37:04Scoobyoo.
37:05Scoobyoo.
37:06Scoobyoo.
37:08Scoobyoo.
37:09Now, er, let's have a look, SK.
37:11S.
37:12S.
37:13I'm just playing here.
37:15S.
37:16S.
37:16Where does this go?
37:19Um, because.
37:21Oh, well done.
37:23Oh, Carol, Carol, Carol.
37:25Is it right?
37:26Oh, wow.
37:28So, so good.
37:30Do you know what? That's a poem, isn't it?
37:32Is it?
37:33Why do love affairs end?
37:35Because people drift.
37:36Drift apart.
37:37Is there a chance of that going into a step song?
37:40No.
37:42Well done, Carol.
37:43H, you've scored six points and very quick there
37:45with a scuba thrown in.
37:47We'll see if it's good enough for the bonus points
37:49after Sally and Ollie have played.
37:51Before they take a stab at Fernandrum,
37:54we will take our final break in proceedings.
37:56Please use this time wisely.
37:57We will see you on the other side for more celebrity puzzling.
38:00APPLAUSE
38:02Why don't you try unscrambling this Fernandrum during the ads?
38:10Get puzzling.
38:17Did you successfully solve this Fernandrum?
38:22If you did, great job.
38:25APPLAUSE
38:27We're hanging on to each other here.
38:29Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling.
38:31I'm still Jeremy Vine, so I've got some good news.
38:33We're not far from the crowning moment
38:35when the winners of tonight's show are revealed.
38:37We don't know who they are at the moment
38:39because it's still possible for the team that's behind
38:42to make up the gap.
38:44Sally and Ollie, you face the Fernandrum.
38:47You'll have three new anagrams to solve.
38:48Remember, you must solve them in order.
38:50You need to beat the time set by Carol and H
38:53in order to earn the crucial bonus points.
38:56Remember, once you solve all three anagrams,
38:58you've got to hit the red button.
38:59Your time starts now.
39:08Well done, Sally.
39:10Can you have a look at that one?
39:11Yeah.
39:12About goes green.
39:14Little...
39:14What does it say?
39:16Little...
39:17Little.
39:18Little.
39:19Little.
39:20Little.
39:20Little.
39:21Yes.
39:22Little.
39:23Yeah.
39:23Looks good.
39:24Little.
39:26Camera.
39:27No.
39:27Pony cam.
39:29Yeah.
39:30No, that's confusing us.
39:32Is it ever going to be A and Y?
39:34A per something?
39:36No.
39:37Pony.
39:39Company.
39:41Come.
39:42Nice.
39:43Pony.
39:44No.
39:45Company.
39:47Yes!
39:48Oh, beautifully, lovely, lovely.
39:51Sometimes it's almost there, but you don't say,
39:53hey, listen, that was good.
39:55Company.
39:55Finally.
39:56Little about.
39:57The score just gave me a vibe.
39:59She did.
39:59She sent kind of good vibes.
40:00The vibes were passed.
40:01So, great effort.
40:02Let's head back to our seats.
40:03We'll find out what the score is.
40:08So, Sally and Ollie, you've managed to add six points to your score.
40:12Carol and H, you won the bonus two points.
40:16Oh!
40:16Well done.
40:16So, going into the final, the overall scores are Sally and Ollie,
40:2020.
40:21Yeah.
40:21Carol and H, 40.
40:23Oh!
40:23Totally smashed it.
40:25Fair play.
40:26Fair play.
40:26Wow.
40:27It now all comes down to this.
40:29It's our final round.
40:31Answer bang.
40:35So, Sally, Ollie, bit of catching up to do, but this is for all four of you to play.
40:40How do you think?
40:40In a moment, I'll show you a grid of 12 words.
40:42I'll then ask questions against the clock.
40:43Buzz in.
40:44Give me the correct answer, which could be a little bit lateral like a crossword clue.
40:48If an answer has more than one word, you must give all the corresponding words in the correct answer.
40:53You will get a point per word.
40:55So, it could add up to winning or losing the whole show on this.
40:58So, let's reveal all the words on the answer bank.

43:13High school.
43:14I know you were buzzing just a shade late.
43:17Yeah.
43:18Okay, players.
43:18That sound, the distant rumbling of your taxis outside, means it's the end of the show.
43:24And I can exclusively reveal that Sally and Ollie have got 33 points.
43:29Very good.
43:29Which is a cracking total.
43:30Mm-hm.
43:31But slightly more cracking.
43:33Carol and H have got 48.
43:35Yay!
43:36And have won tonight's show.
43:39Oh, Sally and Ollie, you haven't won.
43:42I'm sorry, but I hope you've had a good time regardless.
43:45Ollie, I hope you've enjoyed it.
43:45I've loved every second.
43:47Good.
43:47You don't have to say that.
43:49No, I really do.
43:49I'm thriving in this environment.
43:50It's my favourite place.
43:51There are no losers in this room.
43:53H is definitely the winner, and as the winning guest celebrity, you will receive.
43:58I think this will mean more to you than all those platinum records.
44:02This is the prize they all want.
44:04The puzzling cube to take home with you.
44:09And that's yours.
44:12Time to draw a veil over this one.
44:14It's the right phrase.
44:16My thanks go to Carol, Sally, H and Ollie.
44:18Each and every one of them played brilliantly and made it a lot of fun.
