00:09Three shows, three separate winners on this week's House of Games.
00:13Tomorrow we give away the trophy.
00:15Today, maybe we'll get four out of four.
00:16Who knows? Let's meet our players once again.
00:19They are Griff Rhys-Jones, Tasha Ghori, Alexander Mardell, and John Kay.
00:27Hello, everybody. Welcome back.
00:29Griff, a win for you yesterday? Yes.
00:31That's nice, isn't it? So exciting.
00:33You watched Alexandra win, you watched John win.
00:35Yes. And then suddenly, there he was, the big man.
00:39I think it's unrepeatable, but I was so pleased to be there.
00:42In the lights. Let's take a look immediately at our weekly leaderboard,
00:46because if you've been watching all week, you know it's been close
00:48and it's going to stay close.
00:49Look at that, just one point between the top three there.
00:52Tasha, now, currently you are, I'm going to say towards the bottom,
00:56you are fourth.
00:57What can we do today to get you up that leaderboard?
01:00I think last, like yesterday, I did very well.
01:03I feel like I'm improving, I'm getting there.
01:04She's a bit more confident.
01:06Because occasionally, when no-one else is buzzing in,
01:08you'll apologetically buzz in and go,
01:10I'm ever so sorry, I wonder if it's this.
01:11And you're always right.
01:13So, yeah, maybe the killer instinct.
01:15Yeah, just go for it more.
01:17But then you change as a human being.
01:19You know, I don't want you to change you as a human being
01:21just for this week on House of Games.
01:22I'd rather you left us the same as when you arrived.
01:26Always.
01:27Alexandra, now, you won on Monday.
01:29Yes.
01:30Got another win in you.
01:31We'll see.
01:32I don't know.
01:33It's a tough competition, so we'll see.
01:35I think she has.
01:36Yeah, she does.
01:37Yeah, I think Alexandra needs a bit more.
01:39You guys have got such confidence.
01:40When we see you on screen, you see you're playing someone else's role,
01:42so you're always so forthright.
01:45You need a little bit more of that here,
01:46because you know the answer to everything.
01:48Do I?
01:49Yes, you do.
01:49Yeah.
01:50Wow.
01:50Well, yeah, I'll win another one then.
01:52See?
01:52There you go.
01:53I will write a script for you.
01:55With all the right answers.
01:56Yeah.
01:57OK, I'm going to need four weeks to write a script for Alexandra.
02:00Is that all right?
02:00Just if I can...
02:01I'm being told you're going to have to improv.
02:03OK.
02:04John.
02:04Yes.
02:05Now, you've won a prize already this week.
02:07Yes.
02:07Let's take a look at today's prizes.
02:10We've got the House of Games decanter.
02:12We've got the water bottle.
02:14We've got the backpack, the salt and pepper shakers.
02:16And we have got the House of Games puncture repair kit,
02:20which no one has ever chosen.
02:21What would you go for?
02:22The decanter is class, isn't it?
02:24Yeah, it is, I think.
02:25It really is.
02:26I think it's hard to look beyond.
02:27Just pour it out gently and pose.
02:30I like that.
02:30I'd certainly like to meet the contestant
02:31who chose the puncture repair kit above the decanter.
02:35Alexandra, would that be you?
02:36No, not quite.
02:37I think I might go with the decanter as well.
02:39Yeah.
02:40Yeah.
02:40Can't really pull it out.
02:41That's that gone, then.
02:42Evening pants.
02:43Yeah.
02:43Stop.
02:44Tasha?
02:45I read out the salt and pepper.
02:46They're cool.
02:47Yeah, I think they're cool.
02:48They're good.
02:48I like the red, you know, a bit of a vibe.
02:50Yeah.
02:50They're electric.
02:51Yeah, it stands out.
02:53You know, you get it out.
02:53Grind the salt and pepper.
02:55People are like, ooh, that's really cool.
02:56They've got everything.
02:57Yeah.
02:58Griff?
02:58Well, not the salt and pepper.
03:00If they're electric, because the batteries would run out
03:02and then you'd never get around to replacing them.
03:05I mean, salt and pepper bad enough when you reach for them
03:06and you go, oh, there's no salt in this thing.
03:09You just put it back.
03:10You don't go, unscrew it and put the salt in.
03:13So, not the salt and pepper.
03:14But not the decant kind.
03:16If you do that again, you would never, once your salt and pepper,
03:18you bought a salt and pepper shaker many years ago,
03:20the day it ran out, you went, that's it for me and salt.
03:23For some reason, it's just one of those things.
03:25When you reach for the salt, you're in a hurry.
03:27Yes.
03:27You know, you're doing the salad and you reach for the salt
03:29and you go, oh, dear.
03:31Then you pick up another pack of salt and you go like that.
03:33And for some reason, we never put the peppercorns
03:36or the salt back into the grindy old.
03:38Have you ever done MasterChef?
03:40No, but I did do the other side.
03:43Oh, did you?
03:43That one, what was it called?
03:45What was it called?
03:46Cooking with the Stars.
03:47Yes, I slunk in there and I did very well for the first two bits.
03:54Did it until you ran out of salt?
03:56That was pretty much it.
03:57Yeah, that's what happened.
03:57It was a little bit of baking and that was the end of it.
03:59There you go.
03:59Shall we get on and play Thursday's Council Games?
04:02Three separate winners.
04:03There's no idea who's going to win this trophy.
04:05It's been a very close week, hasn't it?
04:06Our first round today is...
04:11Sounds like...
04:12Fingers on buzzers, please.
04:13I'm going to give you a category, which is comedians.
04:17I'm now going to show you some pictures
04:19and if you tell me what you see in those pictures,
04:21it will spell out the name of a comedian.
04:23So just say what you see.
04:24The pictures will sound like a comedian.
04:28Which comedian is this?
04:35Yes, that is Griff.
04:36Is it Tony Hancock?
04:39It is not.
04:40I see the knee.
04:41I see the knee.
04:42I'm not sure what else I see.
04:44Yes, John?
04:45Lenny Henry.
04:46Lenny Henry.
04:47We were looking for Len Goodman and me and Henry Cavill.
04:51Next comedian.
04:59Griff.
05:00Victoria Wood.
05:01Vic-tory-a-wood.
05:02That's absolutely right.
05:03It is Victoria Wood.
05:04Very good.
05:05Vic Reeves, Tori Amos and a wood.
05:08Next comedian.
05:15Huh.
05:18Hmm.
05:19The second word must be either Lee or Mac.
05:21Yeah.
05:22So the first word is...
05:24Oh, wait a minute.
05:25Have you got this at home?
05:27We are struggling here.
05:29Let's take a look.
05:29The answer was...
05:31Stuart Lee.
05:33OK, that's a Stuart monarch.
05:34OK.
05:34Yeah.
05:35Next category.
05:37Is languages.
05:38Which languages are these?
05:44Yes, John.
05:45Cornish.

05:47It is.
05:48Apogor and Nishkumar, Cornish.
05:51Next language.
05:56Yes, that's John.
05:58Finish.
05:58Finish.
05:59It is finish.
06:03Next one.
06:07Yes, John.
06:08Tie.
06:09Tie.
06:09It is tie.
06:10He's good on the buzzer, isn't he?
06:11He is.
06:12He's right on the buzzer.
06:13I was on the buzzer, too.
06:14I think we were all on the buzzer for that one, weren't we?
06:16Yeah.
06:17Yes.
06:17I've rewired them since yesterday.
06:19Very clever.
06:20Next category.
06:21Try and distract him.
06:25Here's your first one.
06:31Griff.
06:31Set-ee.
06:33Set-ee.
06:34Badger living in a set and a cup of tea.
06:36Set-ee.
06:38Next one.
06:44Yes, John.
06:45Place-mat.
06:46Oh, that's good.
06:47I was thinking welcome-mat.
06:48There's another fish called welcome, is there?
06:50Place-mat.
06:51Final question in this round.
06:58Yes, John.
06:59Carpet.
07:00Oh.
07:01Carpet.
07:02Very nice indeed.
07:03It is carpet.
07:04Alan Carr, grab pick.
07:05It is a carpet.
07:06It's the end of that round.
07:07Tasha and Alexandra, it didn't go great for you that round.
07:10But listen, the night is young.
07:13Tasha and Alexandra, yet to get off the mark.
07:15Griff, you have two.
07:17John Kay has got six points.
07:18Wow.
07:18It's a lovely start.
07:20I love John's I'm in the lead look.
07:23Trying to look incredibly smug.
07:26He's a long way in the lead as well, if I may say so.
07:29We've got a bit of catching up.
07:29We've got four rounds to get him.
07:31We've got four rounds.
07:32Your next round is...
07:36All in the details.
07:39Alexandra, you get to choose your partner.
07:40Who would you like to play with?
07:41Oh, gosh.
07:43Let's go.
07:44Well, I'll go for John.
07:46You're going to stay with John.
07:47John and Alexandra are a team.
07:48You're still moved, do you?
07:48Tasha and Griff, you're a team.
07:50In this round, before the show, you filled in some clues,
07:53all to do with sport in one way or another.
07:55So, Griff, before the show, Tasha filled in some clues
07:58that will lead you to an event, a sporting event.
08:02But which one?
08:06In 1927, a watch was introduced, according to Tasha, trophy.
08:11It is a contest between sailors and Olympians.
08:17And it takes place on the, according to Tasha, river.
08:24Hmm.
08:25Sporting event.
08:26What would you go for at home?
08:29Sailors and Olympians?
08:35Am I allowed to look for clues?
08:37No.
08:37Um, is it the boat race?
08:40Is it the boat race?
08:41It is the boat race.
08:43Well played.
08:44Nicely done.
08:46I'll try to make it as easy as possible.
08:48Thank you so much.
08:49You're welcome.
08:49I don't know where the sailors and the Olympians are involved,
08:51but I understand that.
08:52Yeah.
08:53In 1927, the women's boat race was introduced,
08:56a contest between Oxford and Cambridge,
08:57but there's always Olympians in both boats.
08:59And I guess there are people who sail.
09:01And it takes place on the River Thames.
09:02Yes.
09:03John, before the show, Alexandra filled in some clues.
09:06They will lead you to...
09:08A sporting venue.
09:09Which venue is this, I wonder?
09:11Alexandra looks very confident.
09:13Oh, dear.
09:14I have faith.
09:16It has gates named after, according to Alexandra,
09:19a famous manager.
09:22It was opened in, according to Alexandra,
09:25a grassy area.
09:27And its features include...
09:30Beatles tribute.
09:33I think those are good clues, Alexandra.
09:35Are they?
09:36Yeah, because I know where you're leading us.
09:38OK, good.
09:39Is it Anfield?
09:40Anfield?
09:41That's exactly what it is.
09:43Nicely played.
09:43Well done.
09:45Grassy area, leading us to field.
09:47And Beatles tribute, of course, leading us to Liverpool.
09:50And it does have...
09:51It has gates named after Bill Shankly,
09:53so you're absolutely right on that.
09:54And Bob Paisley as well.
09:55It was opened in 1884,
09:58and its features include the cop and all sorts of things.
10:01But Beatles tribute does the job nicely.
10:04Tasha, before the show, Griff filled in some clues.
10:07They will lead you to...
10:09A sport.
10:10Simply a sport we are looking for.
10:12But which one?
10:13It originated in, according to Griff,
10:17somewhere it's snowy.
10:18Now is it down, doesn't it?
10:19We know where we are.
10:21Yeah, winter sport.
10:22Yeah.
10:23It's not beach volleyball, we know that.
10:25Types of event include, according to Griff,
10:28lying down.
10:31And its name comes from words meaning...
10:35Too physical.
10:37It's not like bobsleigh, is it?
10:40Is it bobsleigh?
10:42No.
10:43It's not bobsleigh.
10:45Any clues on the other team?
10:46I forgot about bobsleigh.
10:48I was thinking bobsleigh.
10:49Is it biathlon?
10:51That's tough.
10:52That's hard.
10:53Yeah, that's really hard.
10:55Biathlon.
10:55Too physical.
10:55Because we don't even know what a biathlon is, do we?
10:58But it's shooting and skiing, I think, isn't it?
11:00It is, yeah.
11:00But who knows that?
11:02It originated in Scandinavia, where it is snowy.
11:05There's, like, pursuit events, relay events, things like that,
11:07and its name comes from two and contests.
11:10Good clues, but a very obscure sport.
11:12Mm-hmm.
11:13Alexandra, before the show, John filled in some clues,
11:15and they will lead you to...
11:17Which one?
11:21..the official rules state that athletes must not wear,
11:24according to John,
11:26a chin strap.
11:28OK.
11:29An athlete who has won Olympic gold in this event is,
11:32according to John,
11:34Jeff Capes.
11:37And the equipment used by men weighs...
11:41..equal to cannonball.
11:43Very nice.
11:44Oh, gosh.
11:47Oh, all I can think of is...
11:50Like, is it shot put?
11:51Is it shot put?
11:53It is.
11:54Absolutely right.
11:55Very nicely played.
11:56I love that last clue,
11:58because you're essentially saying,
11:58I mean, it's a cannonball.
11:59Yeah.
12:00That's what they're throwing.
12:02Very nicely played.
12:03Well done.
12:04You're not allowed to wear gloves,
12:06but I imagine you're not allowed to wear a chin strap either.
12:08Jeff Capes hasn't won Olympic gold,
12:10but he was a famous shot putter,
12:12world's strongest man.
12:13Valerie Adams would be an answer there,
12:15but I think Jeff Capes is the best clue you could give there.
12:17That's the end of that round.
12:18Let's take a look at our leaderboard.
12:19Still good news for John,
12:21but everyone's off the mark.
12:22That's the better news.
12:23Tasha, you have one.
12:25Alexandra, you've got two.
12:26Griff with three.
12:27John Kay has now got eight points.
12:30How about that?
12:31So five points are five points with Leeds.
12:33He's holding it together.
12:35Three.
12:36She's literally hugging himself.
12:37No, no, because I can't.
12:38Please.
12:39Read that body language.
12:40I cannot take this pressure.
12:41Three rounds to go.
12:42Our next round today is...
12:47Games House Of.
12:49In this round,
12:49you must give your answer in alphabetical order.
12:51So if I was to ask your name,
12:53you would say Griff Jones-Reese.
12:55Okay?
12:56So you just give the words of the answer in alphabetical order.
12:59Fingers on buzzers.
13:01Which charity supergroup formed by Bob Geldof and Majewa
13:04had a UK number one with Do They Know It's Christmas in 1984?

13:48Lotus the White is absolutely right.
13:51Very well done.
13:51The White Lotus.
13:53I could see you in the next White Lotus.
13:55That'd be fun, wouldn't it?
13:55Oh, yes, that would be fun.
13:57If you're watching,
13:58Mike White,
14:00Alexandra,
14:02watch Smoggy Queens.
14:03Just see what she does in that,
14:04and she could do the same for you.
14:06Yeah?
14:07Worth thinking about.
14:08Anyway, listen.
14:08Next one.

16:57Give me a bit of extra information.
17:00Marnie's question
17:02is this.
17:04Marnie,
17:04I love this question.
17:05How many muscles are there
17:07in a cat's ear?
17:10I'm just counting them up.
17:1211.
17:1311.
17:14Is that right?
17:15It's not.
17:16Anyone else want to buzz in?
17:18Tasha?
17:1822.
17:1922 is incorrect.
17:20There are more than 22.
17:22Oh, wow.
17:24Alexandra?
17:2537.
17:26There are fewer than 37.
17:28John?
17:3130.
17:32I will give you 30.
17:34It's 32,
17:34but different people disagree
17:35as to whether there's...
17:37But 30 is an acceptable answer.
17:39There was a bit of an advantage
17:40waiting to the end then.
17:42Oh, I could see
17:42what you were doing.
17:44You're kind of
17:45just going to narrow this down.
17:46He's furious.
17:47I am.
17:48Then you're giving
17:49lassitude as well.
17:51Well played, John.
17:52Marnie,
17:52thank you, Marnie,
17:53that's a great question.
17:54Marnie says,
17:55because I really love cats,
17:56as do I,
17:57and dogs.
17:58Actually,
17:58I really love all animals,
17:59except spiders are yuck.
18:01I mean,
18:01spiders,
18:02people love spiders as well,
18:03you know,
18:04but I know what you mean, Marnie.
18:06Yeah,
18:0632,
18:07or somewhere between
18:0730 and 34,
18:09muscles in each cat's ear.
18:10Wow.
18:11What are they doing
18:11with them all?
18:13Tasha,
18:14whose question would you like?
18:15I'm going to go for Penny.
18:16You're going to go for Penny.
18:18She's given you multiple choice,
18:20which is good news.
18:24What does Mary Beck mean
18:26in the language
18:27of the Wurundjeri people?
18:29Does it mean
18:30A,
18:31Rocky Place,
18:32B,
18:33Riverland,
18:33C,
18:35Bushy Hill?
18:37What does a Mary Beck mean?
18:40Mm.
18:40Now, this question,
18:42in Australia,
18:43it's Claire Hooper's
18:45House of Games.
18:46Claire Hooper is the host.
18:46And Penny is
18:48Claire Hooper's daughter.
18:49Oh.
18:50So, this is an Australian question.
18:52OK.
18:53I'm going to go for Bushy Hill,
18:55C.
18:55You're going to go for Bushy Hill.
18:57Is it Bushy Hill?
18:58It is not.
18:59Anyone want to buzz in?
19:01Griff's going for it.
19:02Rocky Place?
19:03Is it Rocky Place?
19:05It is.
19:06Well done.
19:06It is Rocky Place.
19:08Penny,
19:09thank you very,
19:10very,
19:10very much.
19:11Alexandra,
19:12whose question would you like?
19:13I will go for Harriet,
19:15please.
19:16You're going to go for Harriet,
19:16age five.
19:17OK, Harriet's question is this.
19:22Oh, gosh.
19:28Oh, no.
19:30I think you've got her here, Harriet.
19:33Um, I'm going to go with
19:36Brenda.
19:37Is it Brenda?
19:39It is not.
19:40It's a great choice.
19:41Anyone want to buzz in?
19:42Anyone want to watch Bluey?
19:45I've got grandchildren.
19:46Yeah.
19:47Bluey's very good.
19:49Yeah?
19:49I think she's just called Mum.
19:51I don't know.
19:52You're very welcome to buzz in.
19:54Yeah?
19:54Because maybe she's called Mum.
19:56There's no penalty, is there?
19:57No.
19:58Worth a guess.
19:58Yes, there is.
19:59Griff.
20:00Mum!
20:02Incorrect.
20:02Aw.
20:04John, look away.
20:07Tasha, what's on Alexandra's top?
20:11Oh.
20:12Tash?
20:13Chili peppers?
20:14Chili?
20:15Chili.
20:15Is that right?
20:17It is right.
20:18Very well done.
20:19It is chili.
20:20Nice to play.
20:20I'm interested in that.
20:21You're hearing the answer.
20:22And Harriet says,
20:24lots of people think Bluey's a boy,
20:25but she's a girl.
20:27Oh.
20:27It's worth remembering.
20:28Wow.
20:29Absolutely right.
20:29Harriet, thank you so much.
20:31John, whose question would you like?
20:33I'm going to go for Aoife, please.
20:35Aoife, 12.
20:39Aoife asks,
20:40in the book series Percy Jackson,
20:42what god is Percy Jackson's dad?
20:46No idea.
20:49Zeus.
20:50Is it Zeus?
20:51Isn't.
20:52Think water.
20:54Griff.
20:55Neptune.
20:56Is it Neptune?
20:57It is not.
20:59Tash?
20:59Aquaman?
21:00Aquaman?
21:02It is not.
21:04Hmm.
21:05Hmm.
21:07I think water.
21:09I was looking for Poseidon.
21:12Poseidon is the answer here.
21:13Aoife says,
21:18Aoife, you were just trying to mention Tilly and Lainey on television.
21:21And it worked.
21:22Very, very well done.
21:24Griff, we return to you.
21:25Really?
21:26Yeah.
21:27Er, James.
21:28James.
21:32James asks this.
21:33How many stomachs does a cow have?
21:37I think it's seven.
21:39Is the answer seven?
21:40It is not.
21:42Anyone want to buzz in?
21:43How many stomachs does a cow have?
21:44Alexandra?
21:45Four.
21:46Four?
21:47It is not four.
21:49John?
21:50Three.
21:50Three is incorrect.
21:53Tasha?
21:54One.
21:55One?
21:56Because surely he wouldn't ask the question if it was one.
21:58Shall we take a look?
22:00It is one.
22:01Very well done.
22:03That's a sneaky question.
22:04Why do I think it was five?
22:05James says,
22:06I ask this question because everyone thinks it's four.
22:09Oh, four.
22:09But actually it's only one.
22:11People think if cows lie down, it means a storm is coming,
22:13but I don't believe it.
22:14That is the end of my cow facts, says James.
22:17Good cow facts.
22:17Thank you, James.
22:18Tasha, whose question would you like?
22:20I'd like to go with Alice.
22:22You're going to go with Alice.
22:26Alice's question is,
22:28what year was Florence Nightingale born?
22:32I'll tell you now,
22:33she was born even before Griff was born.
22:37In fact, she brought me into the...
22:39No, that's not true.
22:41Okay.
22:43I'm going to guess 1864.
22:451864.
22:47That's incorrect.
22:48Anyone fancy it?
22:49I'll give you points if you get close to this one.
22:52Griff.
22:531843.
22:541843.
22:56That's not close enough.
22:58John.
22:591887.
23:001887.
23:01Getting further away.
23:03Alexandra.
23:041822.
23:06Oh, 1820.
23:07I'm going to give you a point.
23:08Very well done.
23:09APPLAUSE
23:12Alice, thank you for that question.
23:14Alice says,
23:14My class are doing a play about Florence Nightingale.
23:17There we go.
23:18Alexandra, whose question would you like?
23:19I will go for Nola, please.
23:22Nola.
23:22Nola's question.
23:26Nola says,
23:27A computer bug is called that now
23:28because an actual bug once got into a computer.
23:31Is that true or false?
23:37False.
23:38Is it false?
23:40Anyone want to bow in?
23:42Tasha.
23:42True.
23:43Yay, it must be.
23:44Is it true?
23:45It is true.
23:46I didn't know that.
23:47Nola says,
23:47In 1947,
23:49a moth got stuck in a Mark II computer,
23:51causing it to break,
23:52and that's why a bug is called that.
23:55Wow.
23:55It's a good fact, isn't it?
23:56Thank you, Nola, as always.
23:58John, final question.
24:00We're going to have Ailey,
24:011887.
24:02Ailey's question is this.
24:10Summer.
24:11Is it summer?
24:13Lovely.
24:14Enter the round.
24:15Great question, Ailey.
24:15Well played, John.
24:16And Ailey says,
24:17Quite rightly,
24:18it's kind of not like the spelling we have.
24:20It's exactly right.
24:21There's no clues in there,
24:23in the actual name,
24:23but John doesn't need clues.
24:25He's so smart.
24:26Our leaderboard going to our final round
24:28looks like this.
24:29I think he's got you, everyone.
24:31Tasha has got four.
24:32Alexandra has got five.
24:34Griff has got six.
24:35Seven-point lead, John, with 13.
24:39That feels...
24:39I'm going to go on record
24:41and say that's unassailable.
24:42That's what I'm going to say.
24:43Don't say that.
24:44You can sit back and relax.
24:45Don't say that.
24:45The only way you can lose
24:47is if you keep buzzing in
24:48and getting it wrong.
24:49If you sit back
24:50like you're on your holiday,
24:52you know,
24:52you cannot lose.
24:53Cannot lose.
24:54Our final round, of course, is...
24:58Arts of Smash.
24:59Still plenty of points
25:00for everyone else to play for,
25:01though,
25:01because we've got that trophy
25:02to give away tomorrow.
25:04John really is sitting back.
25:05Do you really want me to sit back?
25:06No, I'm just saying
25:07that's what I would do.
25:09But if you see one
25:10that you know the answer to,
25:11I know you won't be able to resist.
25:12I won't.
25:13Your first category
25:16is...
25:17Point for a correct answer,
25:18point off for an incorrect answer.
