00:09Hello everyone, welcome to a brand new week on House of Games.
00:13Not just a normal House of Games though, what is that in the air?
00:16There's a hum, there's a crack of electricity, something's up.
00:21Teddy, what's up? It's the smell of champions.
00:24It is Champions Week, four former winners have returned.
00:29One of them at the end of the week is winning this trophy.
00:32Take a look at it, take a close look at it.
00:34You don't have to adjust the colour on your TV, you're absolutely right.
00:37That is not a dull silver anymore, that, my friends, is a dull gold.
00:43Shall we meet our four former champions?
00:46They are Adele Roberts, Olly Smith, Chris McCausland and Claire Richards.
00:56Welcome back, Adele.
00:58Former champion.
00:59Yeah.
01:00Everyone knows what they're doing, but the trouble with being a former champion is everyone here is a former champion.
01:04Pressure. I think it's the smell of fear with me, I'll be honest with you.
01:08Like, what a line-up.
01:09I knew there was something. I knew there was something.
01:11To me, that smells like champions.
01:14Olly, you and I are virtually relatives.
01:16We are, yes.
01:17We're virtually family because we adopted our youngest cat, Lottie, from Olly.
01:21You were looking after her, you were fostering an RSPCA cat.
01:24We did.
01:24And we now have Lottie in our lives.
01:26When she was with you, what was her personality like?
01:28She was an angel.
01:29She was demure, playful, kind, thoughtful.
01:32She always made me breakfast.
01:33She was wonderful.
01:33I've got to tell you now, she is a nightmare.
01:36I'm so sorry.
01:37She has got, listen, you can't blame the parents, but she's got what we call main character energy.
01:42Yes.
01:42Yeah, OK, fine, yes.
01:43I know, we love Lottie, but absolutely, I will not be giving you any favouritism today.
01:48I don't expect it.
01:49But we will obviously see each other at Lottie's graduation.
01:52Yeah, see you there.
01:53Chris, tough competition this week, right?
01:55But listen, you've won tougher competitions.
01:57It's all been built into this, though, Rich.
01:59Hasn't it just?
02:00That's what they say about Strictly, you know?
02:02It's just a bridge to a house of games.
02:05Yeah.
02:05It's just a bridge to a bridge of lies and then house of games.
02:09Claire, you also have a trophy in your cabinet.
02:13I'm assuming you have a cabinet.
02:14I've got a shelf.
02:15A shelf.
02:16A lovely award shelf.
02:17Everyone here has won prizes as well.
02:19Claire, should we take a look at today's prizes?
02:20I would love to.
02:21They're not just normal prizes.
02:22They are golden prizes.
02:26We have got, goodness me, that's quite nice.
02:28It's like a golden jacket.
02:30We've got a golden plant pot, a golden measuring tape,
02:34a golden reusable water bottle and the golden toolbox.
02:38Claire, which of those would you like?
02:40I'm quite partial to a toolbox.
02:42OK.
02:43Are you partial to a golden toolbox?
02:44Well, I don't have a golden toolbox, so that could be.
02:47Imagine if you did.
02:48Or the tape measure.
02:48I love a tape measure.
02:50So, toolbox or tape measure?
02:51Yeah, I think so.
02:52Chris, I mean, listen, I try and paint a picture,
02:54but it's hard to explain the joy of what's up on that board.
02:58But the tape measure is as boring as you'd imagine.
03:01The jacket could be anything, couldn't it, though?
03:03You know what?
03:03I can't imagine wearing a golden jacket.
03:05It's actually quite nice,
03:06because it's got Richard Osmond's House of Games on the back.
03:08Is that like a baseball jacket?
03:10Yeah, it's like a kind of American college jacket.
03:12I think the water bottle's got the most practical use there, Rich.
03:15I think so.
03:16Not a lot can go wrong with a water bottle.
03:18Ollie, what would you go for?
03:19I would 100% go for the jacket.
03:21Don't you think?
03:21It's got coach vibes.
03:23You could be out there saying,
03:24come on, you can taste chardonnay.
03:25Of course you can.
03:26Yeah, you know it's that.
03:28It's beautiful.
03:29I would love that.
03:30You're just doing a motivational wine talk.
03:32Yeah.
03:32Adele, what would you go for?
03:33Maybe the tape measure, because my dad's a builder,
03:35and I think he'll look really fancy on the building site.
03:37I like the fact your dad's a builder,
03:38but you're going for the tape measure instead of the toolbox.
03:43He's literally sitting there and going,
03:44come on, Adele, come on.
03:47There's a toolbox there.
03:49My dad's a builder, and he likes jackets.
03:51Exactly.
03:53My dad's a builder, and he needs to stay hydrated.
03:55That's it.
03:57Let's get on and play our Champions Week, shall we?
04:00Everyone here is a great quizzer.
04:01We know that.
04:02Let's find out what our first round is.
04:03It is...
04:07Rhyme time.
04:07I will read you out two questions at a time.
04:09The answers rhyme with each other.
04:11I'll be reading them out on cards.
04:13Just so you know, at home,
04:14you will be seeing these questions on the screen,
04:16but in studio, we are not seeing the questions on the screen.
04:18It's just my dulcet tones that are guiding our contestants.
04:22Very best of luck, everyone.
04:23Fingers on buzzers.
04:26Style of Spanish dance mentioned in the lyrics of Bohemian Rhapsody.
04:31And word that comes before Unchained
04:33in the title of a 2012 Jamie Foxx film.
04:39Yes, Oli.
04:40Tango Django.
04:41Is incorrect on the phrase.
04:44Yes, Claire.
04:46Flamenco Django.
04:48It is incorrect as well.
04:50Adele.
04:50Fandango Django.
04:52Fandango Django.
04:53I was looking forward to Fandango Django.
04:55Of course.
04:56And how lovely to start the show by saying Fandango Django.
04:59That's a lot of fun.
05:00Next two.
05:03Island country in the South Pacific with the capital Suva.
05:06And brother of the video game character Mario.
05:13Yes, Adele.
05:14Fiji Luigi.
05:15Fiji Luigi, it is.
05:17Nicely done.
05:17We've had Fandango Django and now Fiji Luigi.
05:21Next two rhyming clues.
05:24ITB sitcom set in the Solana Resort in Spain.
05:27And what is the title of this song?
05:34Adele.
05:35Benidorm Sandstorm.
05:36There's the DJ.
05:37It is Benidorm and Sandstorm.
05:40Going very, very well for Adele so far.
05:44Okay.
05:45I couldn't have even told you what that song was called.
05:47No, neither.
05:48But you know it, right?
05:49Yes.
05:49Yeah.
05:50It's a floor filler.
05:50I'd be there in my jacket.
05:52I'd love it.
05:53I couldn't really see that.
05:54I was trying to think what rhymes with da-da-da-da-da.
05:58Is it El Dorado and da-da-da-da-da?
06:00Da-da-da-da-da-da.
06:03Next two.
06:05Welsh politician who as Minister of Health oversaw the creation of the NHS.
06:11And James Bond's code number.
06:16Oli.
06:17Nyebevan 007.
06:19Nyebevan 007?
06:19It is, Oli.
06:20Well done.
06:21Oh, dear.
06:22Nyebevan 007.
06:23Is that his code number?
06:24That makes it sound like his locker at the gym.
06:26It probably is with Bond.
06:28He's that much of an egotist.
06:29He'd have it written on his shoes.
06:30Yeah.
06:30That's a bad spy there.
06:31It's terrible.
06:32You went and after Daniel Craig at the gym and it's 007.
06:36Unlucky Bond, I've got your shoes.
06:38Next two.
06:40Small fish in a Julia Donaldson book adapted for TV in 2024.
06:46And word for a violin player found on the roof in a 1971 film title.
06:54Yes, Claire.
06:55Tiddler.
06:56Fiddler.
06:57Tiddler and fiddler.
06:57Absolutely is.
06:58Well done.
06:59The mark.
07:00You.
07:01I'm not stupid.
07:02And relax.
07:03I'm the only one that's stupid now.
07:06Thanks, Alex.
07:06Sorry.
07:09That was very much the subtext of what Claire was saying there.
07:11You're only allowed to say that when you're the last one to get one right.
07:14OK.
07:15Next two.
07:17Scottish City that hosted COP26 in 2021.
07:21And what is the title of this song?
07:23We can dance the day around it.
07:28If you find it, I'll be bouncing.
07:32If you want it, school...
07:35That is Adele.
07:36Is it Glasgow Say-So?
07:38It is Glasgow Say-So.
07:39Well played.
07:40By Doja Cat.
07:42Final question in this round.
07:43Let's get Chris off the mark.
07:46Wine from an appellation covering an area between Lyon and Avignon in southeastern France.
07:52And common name for the clavicle.
07:57Adele.
07:58Oh, gosh.
08:00Sorry.
08:00I only know the clavicle one.
08:02I don't know the wine.
08:03No, I'm not going to answer.
08:04You sure?
08:04Got it wrong.
08:05Yeah.
08:05Yeah.
08:05I know the wine one, I think, but I don't think I know the clavicle one.
08:08What's the wine one, Ollie?
08:09Coat de Rhone.
08:10Coat de Rhone.
08:10Yeah.
08:12Chris.
08:13Coat de Rhone.
08:14Collarbone.
08:15Coat de Rhone.
08:15Collarbone, Chris.
08:16Well done.
08:18Go on, Chris.
08:19I mean, I was giving up for that and now no-one's stupid.
08:23Yay!
08:25Let's take a look at our first leaderboard of this Champions Week.
08:29Ollie, Chris and Claire, you have one each.
08:32Adele is our leader with four.
08:33Good round, Adele.
08:36Moving right along.
08:38Our next round is...
08:43It is a pairs game.
08:45Whoever is in last place gets to choose their partner.
08:47Virtually everyone is in last place.
08:48So, Ollie, why don't you choose your partner today?
08:50I'll choose Adele, why not?
08:51Going to play with Adele.
08:52So, Ollie and Adele are a team.
08:53Chris and Claire, you're a team.
08:54Hi.
08:55If everyone could take their tablets out, please.
08:57Literally the laziest choice.
09:00I know.
09:01I'm going to ask you a series of questions, write me down a number,
09:03and I will take the average of each pair as their answer,
09:06and whoever is closest wins a point.
09:08The first question is...
09:10How many TV licences were enforced in the UK in March 1953,
09:16the year of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation?
09:23What do we reckon at home on this?
09:30OK, everybody is in.
09:33Adele, where do we begin with this?
09:35I thought not many people might have a TV in 1953
09:39because they're quite expensive,
09:41so I went for three million.
09:43Three million, says Adele.
09:45So, I know there's a lot more people in the UK, but...
09:48Yeah, but it was like a new thing, right?
09:50Yeah.
09:50Yeah.
09:51Ollie, what have you gone with?
09:52I like that thinking, although I was thinking maybe...
09:55I think it's a high number.
09:57I think it was one of the records.
09:58I think.
09:59I don't know.
09:59Oh, sorry, Ollie.
10:00I've gone significantly higher.
10:01No, no, no, our average will be marvellous.
10:02I went for 20 million.
10:0320 million.
10:04Which feels maybe too many, but...
10:06So, your average is 11.5 million.
10:09Chris, what were you thinking here?
10:10Oh, I've gone massively wrong here then.
10:13Oh!
10:14I've gone...
10:14Because I just didn't think there'd be many people with TVs in 1953.
10:18So, I've gone for...
10:20This might look like 106k, but it was meant to be 100k,
10:23but I don't think it joined me zero.
10:25No, no, it's perfect.
10:26100k.
10:27Claire, what do you think?
10:28I thought maybe about 2.3 million.
10:302.3 million, so not a million miles from a deal.
10:33We've got all the low-range covered here, haven't we?
10:35Yeah.
10:35I think we have.
10:36Let's take a look at your average.
10:37One minute.
10:37So, we've got 11 million and we've got 1 million.
10:40Let's find out, shall we, how many TV licenses were in force
10:43in March 1953, the year of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation.
10:482.1 million.
10:50Oh, my goodness.
10:50Claire, you're so close to that.
10:51You're bang on the money.
10:52Well, thank you.
10:53That's all.
10:53Chris and Claire, you get the point.
10:55Your next question is this.
10:57How many people are employed in coal production in the UK,
11:02according to the latest government figures?
11:06So, the first thing that comes into me, Eddie, yeah?
11:09I mean, certainly a lot less than there were.
11:15Everyone is in.
11:16What do we think on this coal production in the UK?
11:19Chris, what have you said?
11:20I'm thinking I've gone low, but you never know.
11:22It could be 20 times more than what there is.
11:24I've gone for 13,000.
11:2713,000.
11:28Claire, what are you thinking?
11:29I've gone a bit higher, 37,000.
11:3137,000.
11:32So, your average is 25,000.
11:35Adele.
11:35Yeah, sorry.
11:36I think I've gone a bit OTT and I think I've just nicked
11:38Chris's answer from the last round.
11:41I went for 100,000.
11:42100,000, but it could be.
11:43Because a lot of people still have real fires.
11:46So, there's still a lot of coal about.
11:48You still see it.
11:49And you need a lot of people to get it out of the ground.
11:51That's for sure.
11:52Olly, up or down?
11:53I went very low, actually.
11:54Yeah, I thought that a lot of the coal comes from other places
11:57like Europe and Colombia.
11:59Oh, is it?
12:00Yeah, I think South America.
12:01I'm not sure.
12:01South America.
12:02I think, sadly, I think the number's very low.
12:04I think it's 2,000.
12:05I might be wrong.
12:05I hope I'm wrong.
12:072,000.
12:08So, your average is 51,000.
12:10So, we've got 25,000 and we've got 51,000.
12:14Shall we find out how many people are employed in coal production?
12:17Oh, no way.
12:20Oh, 350.
12:21That's really low.
12:23350.
12:23I mean, Chris and Clare, you get the point, but...
12:26Oh, rules is rules.
12:28Yeah, rules is rules.
12:30You were closest, yeah.
12:32In 1920, there were 1.2 million people in this country employed in coal production.
12:38350 now.
12:39Final question in this round.
12:40So far, Chris and Clare, it's a clean sweep.
12:42Can you get three out of three?
12:44Finally, an easy one.
12:46In miles at its equator, what is the circumference of Uranus?
12:53I need that golden tape measure.
12:56Exactly.
13:00OK, everybody is in.
13:08Oli, how are you on the circumferences of Uranus?
13:11I've gone large, Richard.
13:13Have you?
13:13OK.
13:13I have.
13:14I've no idea, but I guessed at 2 million miles, which is probably far too large.
13:182 million miles.
13:19It sounds enormous, but planets are mega.
13:21It's a planet.
13:22It's a heavenly body.
13:23It's a heavenly body.
13:24It really is.
13:25Adele, where are you?
13:26I've done, like, a remix of a Proclaimers song.
13:28I've gone 500,000.
13:30500.
13:31Yes, the Uranus Proclaimers.
13:32This is it.
13:34Your average is 1,250,000 miles.
13:41Claire, where have you gone on this?
13:42This is probably so wrong.
13:44I've gone 3,456.
13:48You've literally just written numbers out in order.
13:50Yes.
13:51Yes.
13:54I should have done 5, 6, 7, 8, shouldn't I?
13:57Yes, yeah.
13:58Do you know what?
13:59I didn't even notice that.
14:00That's funny.
14:01Yeah, you've got form for it.
14:03Chris, where have you gone?
14:03I'm hoping that we might be good here, because they've gone so high.
14:07You have gone too low, because it's an ice giant, so it's got to be bigger than the air.
14:10It's an ice giant, is it?
14:11Yeah, so we're, like, 24,000 miles around the circumference, I think, aren't we?
14:15Chris has perked up, hasn't he?
14:16He really has.
14:16I might be miles off, but I've gone for 280,000.
14:21280,000, says Chris.
14:22So your average is 141,000.
14:26So we've got 1.2 million, we've got 141,000 in miles at this equator.
14:30What is that circumference?
14:31It is...
14:34..99,000.
14:35Very nicely done.
14:36Well, I was miles away, but we've got there between us.
14:38And it is about four times the size of Earth.
14:40Earth is, yeah, 24,000, 25,000 miles.
14:42Absolutely right.
14:43That's the end of the rounds.
14:44Tab this away, please, Chris and Claire.
14:46Three out of three.
14:47Very well done.
14:48Yay, well done, mate.
14:48Yay.
14:49Our leaderboard now looks like this.
14:52Ollie, you have one point still.
14:54Everybody else has got four points.
14:56Adele, Chris and Claire, joint leaders.
14:59Very nice round indeed there.
15:02Our next round is going to be...
15:07Two clues in one.
15:09Fingers on buzzers, please, everyone.
15:10First thing I'm going to do is give you a category.
15:13Your first category is UK landmarks.
15:16I'm going to give you some clues now to some UK landmarks.
15:19The clue will have the same initials as the answer.
15:22OK, so which UK landmarks are these?
15:26Encourages plants.
15:30Adele.
15:31Eden Project.
15:31Eden Project.
15:32It is.
15:33E-P-E-P.
15:34Well played.
15:36What landmark is this?
15:42Ollie.
15:44Hampton Court.
15:45Pad.
15:46Palace.
15:47Hampton Court Palace.
15:48That's right.
15:51Next UK landmark.
15:53Arms outstretched.
15:54Tyne nearby.
15:59Adele.
15:59Angel of the North.
16:00Angel of the North.
16:01Very nicely done.
16:04We have another category for you,
16:06and your new category is TV detectives and police officers.
16:09So which TV detective or police officer is this?
16:13Tracking H.
16:17Chris.
16:18I'm going to say TJ Hooker.
16:20Woo!
16:22And I think you've got to give it to me.
16:24I mean, listen, there's very few people who love TJ Hooker more than I do.
16:28Of course, William Shatner's short-lived TV detective.
16:31In that, I don't want every single question writer on the show
16:34have to look through every single episode of TJ Hooker
16:36and see if he'd track down anyone with the initial H at any point.
16:39I'm going to give you a point.
16:39Oh, I know.
16:40I know.
16:40It's not the right answer.
16:41I know what it was.
16:42I know what it was now.
16:43It's come to me.

18:18And Adele in pole position in this Champions Week of House of Games.
18:23Our next round is...
18:27I'm terrible at dating.
18:29You can all take your tablets out, please.
18:31I'm going to give you some events from history.
18:33You need to write me down the year in which you think they happened.
18:35And whoever is closest to the right year scores a point.
18:38The first year I'd like you to write down is this.
18:46When did that happen?
18:48I wonder, really, when was Louis XIII about, I think.
18:51We all know Claire is writing 12,034.
18:54LAUGHTER
18:57LAUGHTER
18:57LAUGHTER
18:57LAUGHTER
19:00Um...
19:07Um...
19:07OK, everybody is in.
19:10Adele, where have you gone?
19:12I've tried to think when they might have had muskets and things.
19:16So I've gone for £15.97.
19:18£15.
19:18Oh, that looked like £15.17.
19:20That's the tiniest nine.
19:21Yeah.
19:23I got nervous.
19:24The loop on the top of that nine is a disgrace.
19:28LAUGHTER
19:29It's a tight one.
19:30£15.97, says Adele.
19:32Olly, what have you said?
19:33I was trying to work out when, yeah...
19:35The French, yeah, they cut the king's head off
19:37and so I think it was...
19:38Before that, clearly, so 1712, I think...
19:411712.
19:41I hope that's before they did away with the monarchy.
19:44Interesting.
19:441712, says Olly.
19:46Chris, where have you gone?
19:46My only knowledge on this comes from, um...
19:49Dog Tanya in the cartoon.
19:51LAUGHTER
19:51From when I was a child
19:52and that felt very kind of 1500s.
19:55Um, so I've...
19:56I think I've forgotten a bit now,
19:58but I think I've put 1530...
20:001532, you said, yeah.
20:021532, you are saying.
20:04And Claire?
20:04So I...
20:05I'll base this on,
20:07I think Louis XV was around 1770-something.
20:12This is good.
20:13This already sounds good.
20:13You know, I learnt this
20:14when I was watching our episodes of this.
20:16No way.
20:17That's good.
20:17He married Marie Antoinette in 1770,
20:20so I tried to go back a couple of Louis
20:23and put 1694.
20:25Oh, 1694.
20:26And that is how they used to measure time back then,
20:27as well, as in Louis.
20:28Yeah, in Louis.
20:30Yeah, your builder would go,
20:31I can probably fit you in Louis and a half.
20:35So we've got a couple of 16th centuries,
20:37a 17th and an 18th.
20:38What do we think at home on this one?
20:39What have we gone for?
20:40Let's find out, shall we?
20:42When was that established?
20:43Who scored the point?
20:4516-22.
20:47Adele wins the point.
20:50Claire, the only person in the right century,
20:51but Adele gets the point.
20:53And that is when The Three Musketeers is set to the 1620s.
20:56Someone just told me.
20:58Next one.
20:59The Bank of England issues the first £10 note.
21:05Ah.
21:06When was the first £10 note, I wonder?
21:16Everyone is in.
21:17Ollie, what are we thinking here?
21:18I thought that they might be around with the Beatles.
21:20I thought things might have gone metric,
21:21so 65, 1965.
21:24Oh, yes, of course.
21:24I wasn't even thinking about the metric system.
21:26Yeah, I think, yeah.
21:27What are we saying, Chris?
21:28I didn't know when money got decimalised.
21:32I just went for 74.
21:341974, says Chris.
21:36What are we saying, Claire, on this?
21:37I think I've gone a bit too early.
21:39But I was thinking of, like, really old money.
21:42They used to have, like, big bits of paper
21:45that was, like, note, right?
21:46I feel like I've seen that, yeah.
21:48I suppose I said 1890.
21:491890, says Claire and Adele.
21:51Yeah, I've gone a bit earlier as well,
21:54against the lads,
21:54but 1956, it's just in my head for some reason.
21:57The 50s, the 60s, the 70s, and...
21:59Because even before decimalisation,
22:00they had pounds, didn't they?
22:01They were just different.
22:02Yes, that's why...
22:03This is why, so I've kind of just decided
22:05that it must be the decimalised one.
22:07Let's find out when was the first £10 note.
22:111759.
22:12Claire, you get yourself a point there.
22:14Wow!
22:15Final question in this round.
22:17The first message is sent across the Atlantic
22:20by telegraph cable.
22:21When was that?
22:24Oof.
22:25Hmm.
22:27What do we reckon at home?
22:38Chris, where have you gone with on this,
22:40the first cable across the Atlantic?
22:41Well, I just assumed it was probably
22:43the end of the 19th century,
22:46and I have...
22:47So I've just picked a year,
22:48I've gone for the same year
22:50that Liverpool Football Club was founded.
22:531892.
22:541892.
22:54I thought it was probably a good year all round.
22:56Yeah, 1892, you're saying.
22:59And Claire, where are you?
23:00The same century,
23:02but I went a bit earlier, 1870.
23:041870.
23:05Adele?
23:05Yeah, I've gone a bit later,
23:07because I feel like they were quite
23:08enterprising in the 20s,
23:10so I just went 1923.
23:111923, says Adele and Ollie.
23:13I'm actually very close to these two.
23:14I went 1885.
23:16It feels like the ballpark, right?
23:17Yeah.
23:18So, yeah, we got four very close to us.
23:20It was all the way from 1870 up to 1923.
23:22When was the first message sent
23:24across the Atlantic?
23:271858.
23:28That is Claire again.
23:29Well done, Claire.
23:311858.
23:32Well done.
23:32Have this away, please, everyone.
23:34We're about to find our first champion
23:36of Champions,
23:38and our leaderboard
23:39before Answer Smash looks like this.
23:41Ollie, you've got four.
23:42Chris, you've got five.
23:44Look at this, though.
23:45Claire with eight
23:45and Adele with nine.
23:47Wow.
23:48One point in it.
23:50Claire means business now.
23:54Wow.
23:55Honestly, that was like
23:56there was a key change.
