00:00Hello, I'm Jeremy Vine and once again I'm about to lead two teams of famous puzzle lovers right down the
00:07garden path.
00:07Puzzles galore await. This is Celebrity Puzzling.
00:28Hello, welcome to Celebrity Puzzling. OK, team captains, you need them, I've got them.
00:33First up, a one-of-a-kind maths wizard, underestimate her at your peril, it's the cracking Carol Vorderman.
00:40And facing her tonight, she can act everything apart from her age, it's the terrific Sally Lindsay.
00:47There they are, but who will be rustled up to join their teams?
00:51Well, joining team captain Carol is a comedian who hosts a podcast called Single Ladies in Your Area.
00:57Blimey, I can only imagine what this team would be like after a bottomless Prosecco brunch.
01:02It's Harriet Kemsley.
01:07And TV Up With Sally is an actor who spent over eight years in casualty, the poor thing, she seems
01:12much better now though.
01:13It's Sunetra Sarka, welcome!
01:17Well, Harriet, how nice to have you in, Susan.
01:19Thank you for having me, I'm very excited to be here.
01:21Are you touring? Because often comedians say, oh, well I broke off from my tour to do this.
01:25I'm going to be touring later in the year.
01:28OK. I put it on sale a year before.
01:30So you line it up quite a while ahead?
01:32Yes, I think we put them on sale because it means then we have to write it.
01:36And so you have to have a bit of a lead up to kind of give you the time to
01:39make sure that it's in shape, yeah.
01:41Terrific. OK, now Sunetra, you've been in some amazing dramas, so...
01:45Yeah, play dinner ladies, doctors, dentists.
01:48Do you feel like that after a while, playing doctors and pharmacists, you can actually treat people in real life?
01:53Yeah, absolutely. Anything you want, I'll just give you a call. I can talk.
01:56As if, throw your arm this way.
01:58Oh, can you? In the commercial break.
02:01Marvellous.
02:01You learn so much that you always think, I think I do, I think I know what a thoracotomy, I
02:05think I could do the thoracotomy.
02:08When we stay over in hotels when we're filming on location and everyone's got their blood and their gory,
02:12it's just finished, we've all wrapped in, everyone's just like, let's go.
02:15And then you stand in the lift and think, people will genuinely think we've all been in an accident.
02:19Cerebral accident.
02:20There's not so much blood.
02:21How is your puzzling?
02:23Oh, well, my puzzling isn't as good as my doctoring, and my doctoring's not good in the first place,
02:27so that doesn't stand me in a lot of context.
02:29Harriet, how's yours?
02:31Oh, real bad.
02:32Real bad.
02:33Do you do any kind of puzzling, like, Sudoku words or connections, those things?
02:39Er, yep.
02:40All the time.
02:41I can't, I can't stop.
02:43I'm always, erm, wordle-ing.
02:46Well, this is the vibe of this show, it's that kind of puzzle.
02:49Lovely things to play, Harriet, do not worry.
02:51In every episode, our teams face a random array of puzzles, specially designed in a lab to have them reach
02:57peak confusion.
02:58No selection of rounds or questions are ever the same, which means more bang for your buck.
03:02In the Answer Bank, the final round, everything can change.
03:06Yeah.
03:07For the winning celebrity guests, there's the added excitement, you will take home the celebrity puzzling, puzzling cube, and there
03:13it is.
03:16It is honestly so useful, Harriet.
03:19For?
03:21Going on tour with you for the moment in the dressing room.
03:24Lovely, thank you.
03:24To calm you down.
03:25OK?
03:26Time to play round one.
03:27Let's get in line, because this is form and orderly queue.
03:32We'll see how this works.
03:34So, a question will appear.
03:35Somehow, our supercomputer has reordered each word alphabetically rather than how they should be written.
03:40So, it does your head in.
03:41So, this is just an example.
03:43Harriet, do you want to try and unspool that for us?
03:46I can see the.
03:49Oh, the, yeah.
03:51Do you want the second word?
03:54Cygnet.
03:54Oh, young of what ailment?
03:58No, animal.
03:59Animal.
04:00Do you know this one?
04:02Swan.
04:02So, swan would be the answer, that's it.
04:04And we unscramble the question and there it is.
04:06Okay.
04:07Cygnet is the young of what animal?
04:09Swans can break your arm, you know, especially if you owe one money.
04:14You must decipher the question to get the answer to bag the points.
04:17So, the question is, can you form an orderly queue?
04:20OK, here's the first.
04:23And there's, well, leaving aside the first, there's two capital P's there.
04:32Carol!
04:34Jane Austen.
04:35Is it Jane Austen?
04:40Let's see the question unscramble.
04:42Who wrote the novel Pride and Prejudice?
04:44OK.
04:44There we go.
04:45So, first blood to Carol and Harriet.
04:48Get ready, here we go again.
05:00Carol?
05:01It was 2024.
05:032024, says Carol.
05:06It's right.
05:08And there's something to do with Keir Starmer.
05:10Let's have a look.
05:11In which year did Keir Starmer become Prime Minister?
05:14Terrific.
05:15OK.
05:15Here's the next one.
05:18We've got a V, an M.
05:26Harriet!
05:28OK.
05:29I think it's One Foot in the Grave.
05:32Well done!
05:32One Foot in the Grave.
05:34Very good!
05:35No, brilliant!
05:36I don't know the middle bit, but I get that.
05:39You saw the name?
05:40Yeah.
05:40OK, let's unscramble.
05:41We'll see what you saw.
05:42Very good.
05:43Victor Meldrew.
05:44You see what you did?
05:45You saw Victor Meldrew and you correctly went for the title.
05:48The central character of which TV sitcom.
05:50The questions might get a little more difficult.
05:52No.
05:53Fingers back on buzzes.
06:02Does it help?
06:03Sally!
06:04Lettuce.
06:05Is it lettuce?
06:07Very good.
06:09I was thinking about bums, legs and tongues.
06:12I never thought it was LGBT.
06:14You nearly said lesbian.
06:15Oh, I see.
06:16OK.
06:18Let's unscramble the question.
06:21What is the L in a BLT sandwich?
06:23OK.
06:24Here's another question for you.
06:26This is a fun round.
06:27My goodness.
06:28OK.
06:29Ooh.
06:35We've got some capitals.
06:38Carol.
06:39Leicester.
06:41Wow.
06:41Leicester.
06:43No!
06:44Oh!
06:45Right.
06:45Sunetra, Sal, you can steal for a point.
06:49What was it?
06:50Spanish Football Club.
06:51Barcelona.
06:51Oh, Spanish.
06:52I didn't get that.
06:53Barcelona.
06:54Let's try Barcelona.
06:55Well done.
06:57Good steal.
06:58They get one point.
06:59Yeah.
06:59One point for a stolen answer.
07:01I missed the Spanish bit, though.
07:02Are you a football fan, Sunetra?
07:03I am a little, yeah.
07:04I'm from Liverpool.
07:05Of course, of course.
07:07Let's unscramble it.
07:08Gary Lineker played for which Spanish football club?
07:11And the answer was Barcelona.
07:12Yeah.
07:13Final form and orderly cue puzzle.
07:15Get ready.
07:15Come on.
07:16Here it is.
07:19Ooh, I say.
07:23Oh, that's tricky.
07:31Oh.
07:32Sally.
07:33Is it Julius Caesar?
07:35I think it might be, you know.
07:36Yeah.
07:36Is it Julius Caesar?
07:38Oh, what a song.
07:40Unscramble the question.
07:42Yeah.
07:42Who was killed on the Ides of March?
07:4344 BC, he died.
07:46At the end of that round, Sally and Sunetra have got five points.
07:50Oh.
07:50It's tense.
07:52Not that tense, but quite tense.
07:54Harold and Harriet have got six.
07:56Oh!
07:58That's good.
08:00So, hopefully you managed to get some of those questions reordered at home.
08:03Well done on you, Julius Caesar.
08:05Yeah.
08:05It's not easy.
08:06Because it was a long time ago.
08:07Time for our first trip to the Letterboxd tonight.
08:09Our teams will take it in turns to build up their point score
08:12without their rivals trying to sneak in and muck it all up.
08:15Going first, it's Sally and Sunetra.
08:18And the game you're playing tonight is Thirdle.
08:21So, you're going to see three words, each with the third letter missing.
08:25You've got to fill in those missing letters using the tiles provided
08:27to spell a new word vertically.
08:29You're against the clock.
08:30This is just our example.
08:32Who?
08:33Abhor.
08:33Abhor.
08:34He abhorred.
08:35It's in a hymn, that, isn't it?
08:36Yeah.
08:37Abhor.
08:37It could be goads or goods.
08:40Yeah.
08:40Goods, OK.
08:41What's that?
08:42Embed.
08:43Embed.
08:44There we are.
08:45Abhor, goods, embed.
08:47Then the middle word, hob.
08:48Never use one myself.
08:49I microwave meals all the way.
08:51But I hear good things about them.
08:52So, Sally and Sunetra head on over to the letterbox to play Thirdle.
09:01Here is your first Thirdle.
09:03Your time starts now.
09:05OK.
09:06Chor.
09:07Chor.
09:08Is it?
09:08Chor.
09:08I don't know.
09:09Here we go.
09:10Tawny.
09:11Wait, wait, wait, wait, hang on.
09:13Is it?
09:13What is that?
09:15Hurts?
09:16Hour.
09:16Oh, hour.
09:17Yes.
09:18Yeah.
09:19No, it's not.
09:20Oh, yeah, it is.
09:21No, it's not.
09:22No, it's not.
09:22That's not hour.
09:23Any version of hour.
09:25So, let's just think about what went wrong.
09:26We didn't read the word.
09:27We thought that.
09:28No.
09:28We just saw that.
09:29We didn't do that.
09:31Try swapping the R for an N and see if that does it for us.
09:34Yeah, we just didn't read the word.
09:35Go on.
09:35That can happen, you know.
09:36I mean, it should be a word.
09:38In our house.
09:39In our house.
09:39Yes, in our house.
09:40Exactly.
09:41It's a Mancunian word.
09:43Our Chris.
09:44Yeah.
09:44Our Sally here knows what you're talking about.
09:45I couldn't give you that, but I can see how it happened.
09:48Your second puzzle will have four words with the third letter missing.
09:51And without them.
09:51And you'll need to spell a new four-letter word vertically.
09:54But it is worth four points.
09:55Don't charge at the button.
09:57I'm not going to charge at the button.
09:58I don't know who hit the button.
09:59Because I was so happy.
10:01All right, well, she's not that cross with you.
10:02Your time starts now.
10:06OK, so is that pooch or pouch?
10:09Mmm, OK, pooch goes down.
10:11OK, what's this?
10:12Kilts?
10:13Kilts?
10:14Kilts.
10:14Maybe, yeah.
10:15Kilts, OK.
10:16Is that token?
10:18Could be.
10:19Token.
10:19Which would mean that folk?
10:21Lofty.
10:22Lofty.
10:23Lofty word.
10:23So what's this then?
10:25Could it be before anybody says it?
10:28No, it's not the word.
10:29Lofty.
10:29Lofty.
10:30Lofty.
10:30So what's in there?
10:31What's in that word?
10:32Lusty.
10:33Lusty?
10:34Sulk is not the word.
10:35Don't press that.
10:36Don't press the button or there'll be hell to say.
10:39What's in that pouch?
10:39Pouch.
10:40How about that?
10:41Sulk.
10:42Yes, that's the word.
10:43Oh!
10:44Saints be praised.
10:46Good point.
10:47Oh, thank goodness.
10:48And that is the correct spelling of sulk.
10:50We got it.
10:51Lusty, pouch, kilts, token.
10:53Your final puzzle has five words to solve.
10:56You'll need to spell a new five-letter word vertically.
10:58It's worth a bumper five points.
10:59Come on, both.
11:00Your time starts now.
11:02OK, wired.
11:04Yeah.
11:04Wired is good.
11:05Wired is a word.
11:07Is that...?
11:08I might go...
11:09Is that gone green?
11:10No.
11:10No, it doesn't go green yet.
11:11It won't go green.
11:12You've got the correct answer.
11:14Oh, it's panel rusty.
11:16Rusty.
11:16And the seal.
11:17It's been...
11:18Well, that's not gonna work.
11:19So, if we swap the I and the A, would that work?
11:22Flick.
11:23And rinse.
11:24Yeah, that's not a weirdo.
11:24No, but E or...
11:26Rinse.
11:27Spell.
11:28Yep.
11:29Do you think?
11:29Wait, wait, wait, wait, yep.
11:30Yes!
11:32Come on, the bear corn form.
11:35Flick, panel, rusty, spell, and at the top wired.
11:39And then you've rinsed it.
11:40You've done really well.
11:41Very clever.
11:42What can I say?
11:43It's a beautiful thing.
11:44But Sally and Sunetra, your trip to the Letterboxd has scored you nine.
11:48And we don't worry about the first two.
11:50We don't talk about that.
11:50That was a practice.
11:51Carol and Harriet, I hate to break it to you.
11:54It's time to take a short commercial break.
11:56You can use this opportunity to do a few much-needed team-building exercises.
11:59And we'll see you after this.
12:05If you want to keep puzzling, see if you can complete the vertical word to solve this thirdle.
12:11All will be revealed after the break.
12:18Have you completed the missing word and solved this thirdle?
12:23If you did, great puzzling.
12:29Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling.
12:30I'm still here, attempting to puzzle Carol, Sally, Harriet, and Sunetra.
12:35And you were just doing lunges.
12:37I saw that, literally.
12:38Yeah, trying to get ready.
12:39Interesting.
12:39I've just really turned out.
12:40I've never warmed up before.
12:42Puzzling needs a warm up.
12:44Finally, triumphantly, Carol and Harriet's turn to Scooch here to play thirdle.
12:49You're going to see three words.
12:50With the third letter missing, you've got to fill in the missing letters to spell a new word vertically.
12:54If you solve it right, you score three.
12:56Here we go.
12:57Your time.
12:57Start now.
13:00Great.
13:01Great.
13:02Yeah.
13:02Brilliant.
13:03Great.
13:04A great.
13:05Not much in the middle.
13:06Toner.
13:07Tower.
13:08Tower.
13:09Tower.
13:09Very good, Harriet.
13:10That's got to be assuredly.
13:11I know that one.
13:12Birch.
13:12Birch tree.
13:14Roll.
13:15Roll.
13:16Well done.
13:17Actually fine.
13:17You could have had toner.
13:19You could have had that run, didn't you?
13:20But yes, Roy perfectly good.
13:22Birch.
13:22Scrape Tower.
13:23Very good.
13:24Your second puzzle will have four words with the third letter missing, and you'll need
13:27to spell a new four-letter word vertically, but it is worth four points.
13:31If you're ready, your time starts now.
13:34Track.
13:35Yes, track or trick.
13:37Or truck.
13:38Hmm.
13:39Ooh.
13:39Piles.
13:40Pint.
13:40Bless.
13:41Bless.
13:42Yeah.
13:43Bless.
13:43Definitely bless.
13:44And I would say the only one it could be is ridge.
13:46Yep, you put the two in.
13:47And then is it piles?
13:49Piles.
13:50That's no.
13:53I don't know.
13:54Is that allowed?
13:55Is that allowed?
13:56No, that's just it.
13:57Is that allowed?
13:58Yeah.
13:58And it is a proper noun.
13:59You can't have that.
14:00Okay, so let's say you put an N in there.
14:04Pines.
14:06Err.
14:07I need.
14:07Nope.
14:08What's that?
14:09Err.
14:10Yourd.
14:11R.
14:12Piles.
14:13Bliss.
14:14What's that?
14:15Unid.
14:15Unid.
14:16Running out of time.
14:17No, stop.
14:18Now, so actually we need an A there, funnily enough.
14:22A.
14:22I think it's impossible.
14:22So we're track there.
14:24It's, it's, it's certainly the number of options make it difficult.
14:27So then I wanted a P there.
14:29Aped.
14:29And you get he aped somebody doing something, as in an inferior imitation.
14:34So track, pipes, bless, ridge, was the solution with aped in the middle and you didn't get it.
14:40But you have one more to go.
14:42Yes.
14:42Okay.
14:43Maybe some more warming up here.
14:44You make it a little bit easier please.
14:45Yeah.
14:46Your final puzzle has five words to solve.
14:49You'll need to spell a new five letter word.
14:51It's worth the bump of five points.
14:52Let's go.
14:53Are you ready?
14:54Your time starts now.
14:56Refit.
14:57Yes.
14:58Ooh.
14:59Um.
15:00Wrong.
15:01You've got O.
15:01Wrong.
15:02Err.
15:03Stout.
15:04Oh, so that's stout.
15:07Err.
15:08Wrong.
15:09Oh, wrong.
15:10Yeah.
15:11Because you've only got one O.
15:12That's a good point.
15:14Palms.
15:15Palms.
15:16Err.
15:17Water.
15:18No.
15:19War.
15:20Waste.
15:21I'm sorry.
15:21That's not a word.
15:23No, let's keep going.
15:25Erm.
15:25So, is it strut?
15:27Strut.
15:28Strut.
15:29And then it's.
15:30Burls.
15:31Burls.
15:32Well done.
15:34Well done.
15:35I was, yeah, that's so, because I was thinking it could be ring, of course, there.
15:39Yes.
15:39Yeah.
15:39You hear unfurl, don't you?
15:41But you don't often hear furl.
15:42You don't hear that.
15:43Furl meaning to fold up, e.g. a flag.
15:46Yeah.
15:46Brilliant.
15:47Let's head back to our seats.
15:48We'll find out the scores.
15:54How many points did you rack up at home?
15:56Well done.
15:57Carol, Harriet, your visit to the letterbox scored you eight.
16:00Little skid in the middle, but don't worry.
16:02Let's see what it's done to the overall scores.
16:04Well, Sally and Sunetra are on 14.
16:08Carol and Harriet are also on 14.
16:10Oh!
16:11Oh, my!
16:12Yeah.
16:13It's what they call a competition.
16:14The next puzzle is one you can really count on.
16:17We've called it three, two, one.
16:20The literal countdown we're doing, see?
16:22So, if you can master this one, good luck to you.
16:24On the screen, you'll see a grid of answers.
16:26Three of those answers will be connected,
16:28and also two of those answers will be connected,
16:31leaving an odd one out.
16:32Can you find all the right connections to solve the puzzle?
16:35Here's the example for you.
16:37Maybe our guest should give it a go.
16:40I think it's ready, steady, go.
16:42Ready, steady, go sounds right, doesn't it?
16:43Yeah.
16:44What do you think?
16:45And then what?
16:46And then a vampire and mummy.
16:48Horrors.
16:48They're both horror figures.
16:50I mean, it could be, yeah.
16:50They're both horror figures, aren't they?
16:52So, is that it?
16:52Maybe?
16:53Yes, there we go.
16:54You got it right.
16:55So, chess will be the odd one out.
16:56And the key tip here is that they have to be adjoining.
16:59The trio and the pair.
17:00Let's go for it.
17:01Here we go.
17:01Carol and Harriet, you start.
17:08OK, over to you.
17:12Well, I'd say paella, biryani and risotto are rice dishes.
17:17Oh, beautiful.
17:20Seville and Bilbao are places,
17:23and lundi is the French word for...
17:29Monday, yeah.
17:30So, the three is...?
17:31The rice dishes.
17:33Risotto, paella, biryani.
17:33Rice dishes is the three,
17:34and then the Spanish cities is the two.
17:36Yeah.
17:37And lundi is the odd one out.
17:38Let's see if that's right.
17:39Is it right?
17:41It is.
17:44So, there we go.
17:45There's paella and risotto.
17:47I call it paella.
17:47And you said paella.
17:49Well, I was panicking I was saying it wrong as I was saying it.
17:52So, thank you for making me feel more embarrassed by pointing it out.
17:57Not at all.
17:57Well, I was trying to be sensitive to the Spanish viewers.
18:02OK, now, it's Sally and Sunetra's turn.
18:04Here we go.
18:05We love this.
18:06Three, two, one.
18:07French, American, double Dutch, industrial, gibbon, gibberish.
18:11OK.
18:14Double Dutch and gibberish are funny languages, aren't they?
18:19Is that right, do you think?
18:20Well, I think double Dutch is two things.
18:22Double Dutch is actually skipping, you know.
18:24Oh, yeah, it is actually.
18:25The skipping group is a double Dutch.
18:27And gibbon and gibberish.
18:29Well, I know gibbon is a monkey, isn't it?
18:31I've got a feeling, you know, something in the back of my mind.
18:36I'm thinking of the goodies back in the 70s.
18:39Yeah.
18:39And I think with Gibbon.
18:41Funky Gibbon.
18:42Yeah.
18:42Is there a funky anything else on there?
18:44The funky American.
18:45How about funky French?
18:47Funky Gibbon.
18:48Funky Gibbon.
18:49Funky Gibbon, why am I thinking that?
18:53This is really difficult.
18:54Industrial Revolution, French Revolution, American Revolution.
18:58Of course it is.
18:58Right.
18:59And gibberish and double Dutch are made-up languages,
19:01and the funky Gibbon is just the funky Gibbon.
19:03Funky Gibbon.
19:03OK, we're going for that.
19:04Well done, mate.
19:05Of course.
19:05All right, so the three is, you say,
19:07French and American industrial.
19:10The pair is double Dutch and gibberish.
19:12Yeah.
19:12And then gibbon is the odd one out.
19:13Let's have a look and see if that's right.
19:15Must be.
19:16Yes, it is.
19:17Well done.
19:17We got that at the last minute.
19:19So double Dutch and gibberish, languages that mean nothing.
19:22Yeah.
19:22Nonsense.
19:23Gibbon was the odd one out.
19:24Get ready.
19:25Carol, Harriet, here's the next one.
19:27Right.
19:28Sounds again.
19:29So, America, Nemo, Whiskey, Philips, Burgundy, Crimson.
19:33Ooh.
19:33Nice.
19:34OK.
19:36So.
19:37Right.
19:37Now, there could be words that go before or after.
19:41Obviously, whiskey and burgundy are alcoholic drinks,
19:46which we know, but they then don't touch.
19:49So it's not going to be that.
19:53Nemo is the fish.
19:55OK.
19:55Yep.
19:56Erm.
19:57Burgundy and crimson.
19:59Are they not both shades of red?
20:02So they would be...
20:03Burgundy and crimson are...
20:05I had a pet chicken called whiskey, but I don't think that will be related.
20:09I don't think that's why it's up there.
20:10No.
20:11Chicken's names.
20:13No.
20:13No.
20:14I don't think it's that.
20:16Captain Nemo, Captain America.
20:20Captain Phillips.
20:21Captain Phillips was married to Princess Anne.
20:25Yeah.
20:26Neemo, America, Philips.
20:27Burgundy, Crimson and then whiskey on its own.
20:30OK.
20:31Let's go for that.
20:32All right.
20:33So you say, Neemo, America, Philips are the three.
20:37Burgundy, Crimson are the pair.
20:39Whiskey is the odd one out.
20:41Let's see if you're right.
20:43Ah!
20:44Absolutely right.
20:45So the Burgundy, Crimson, shades of red.
20:48Captain America, Captain Nemo.
20:50Captain Phillips I thought was Mark Phillips who was married to Princess Anne.
20:53But there may be another one.
20:55Tom Hanks.
20:56Tom Hanks did a film.
20:58The Tom Hanks film.
21:00OK.
21:00Sally and Zunetra, here's your next.
21:03Charade, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Sabrina, Musical Chairs, Twister, Selena.
21:08OK.
21:09All yours.
21:11So Sabrina, Breakfast at Tiffany's and Charade are their films, aren't they?
21:17Well, Charade is something you play at a party.
21:19Musical Chairs is what you play at a party.
21:20Oh, yeah.
21:20Twister is what you play at a party.
21:22Breakfast at Tiffany's and Sabrina.
21:24I've got a feeling Sabrina is a film with Audrey Hepburn in Between Breakfast, I think so.
21:28And Celine is the odd one out.
21:30Well, the problem is, I thought it'd be Charades.
21:33Actually, Charade is a game, singular, isn't it?
21:35We're going to play Charade, is it?
21:37Oh, maybe it is Charades.
21:40Twister is a film as well, remember?
21:41I know, but is it a film?
21:43We do need an answer.
21:45Oh.
21:46Sorry.
21:46Twister is a film, Breakfast at Tiffany's is a film, and Sabrina is a film.
21:50Yeah, it is.
21:51So we do those as a three.
21:52We do Charades and Musical Chairs as the game, and Selina on its own.
21:56OK.
21:57Can you say the three then?
21:58Twister, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Sabrina.
22:00All right, that's your three.
22:01And the two, Charade Musical Chairs.
22:04Yeah.
22:05Party Games, and Selina the odd one out.
22:08Selina.
22:09Let's see if that's right.
22:11You're so close.
22:13I feel really bad for you, because the key thing was when Sally said Audrey Hepburn was in Sabrina.
22:19Yeah.
22:19That's true.
22:20Yeah.
22:20She was in Breakfast at Tiffany's.
22:22She was also in Charades.
22:25Right.
22:26OK.
22:26And you rightly say Charades is the party game, but not Charades.
22:31Yeah, I didn't know it was a film, sorry.
22:32OK, Carol and Harriet, here's yours.
22:35OK.
22:35Can we try this round?
22:36Piddle, Derwent, D, Eel, Green, Chamomile.
22:41Now, this I know, Harriet, because I'm very old and I'm very well travelled round the UK.
22:46Please, Carol, over to you.
22:48The River Dee is in Chester, Derwent, New Yorkshire, and the River Piddle is in Devon or Dorset.
22:59Right, yes.
23:00That I know.
23:02All right.
23:03That's your three, is it?
23:04And then I would say Teas, Chamomile and Green Tea.
23:08OK.
23:08I would say they are Teas.
23:09So that's what we're going with.
23:10So you're going for your three is...
23:11Yes, I didn't know anything about the rivers.
23:12The three rivers.
23:13Yeah, I didn't know about that.
23:13Piddle, Derwent, D.
23:14Yeah.
23:15And then your two is, you say Teas, Green Tea, Chamomile Tea.
23:18Yeah.
23:19Is that right?
23:21Yes.
23:22Yes.
23:23Right and for the right reasons.
23:24Well done.
23:25Types of tea, Green and Chamomile.
23:26There is no eel tea.
23:28Final puzzle for Sally and Sinatra.
23:30Here we go.
23:32Walrus, seal, crest, raccoon, blackbird, tower.
23:37Oh, my goodness.
23:39Right.
23:39I think I've got this.
23:40The Beatles songs.
23:41Walrus, raccoon and blackbird are Beatles songs.
23:44Beatles tracks.
23:45Oh.
23:45And crest and tower.
23:47So, seal, crest and tower.
23:50I think, I feel like the seal and the crest.
23:53Isn't there a crest on a seal?
23:56Well, the seal and a crest are the same thing, aren't they?
24:00OK.
24:01OK.
24:01Walrus, raccoon and blackbird are Beatles.
24:03All right.
24:04Seal and crest are, we think, are things that you, a symbol, a family kind of thing.
24:10OK.
24:10A representative of a family.
24:11And tower is the odd one out.
24:15Yes, you are.
24:16Yes.
24:16Raccoon is a people song.
24:17Of course, I am the walrus and blackbird are as well.
24:21Raccoon, I'm told, is on the white album.
24:23White album.
24:23Seal and crest are things historically put on a letter.
24:26The odd one out is tower.
24:28What's around?
24:29Wow.
24:29Gave you a workout, didn't it?
24:31I'm exhausted.
24:32At the end of that round, Sally and Sunetra have 18.
24:35Carol and Harry are just ahead on 20.
24:39I hope you got some of those at home and you managed to solve some of the puzzles.
24:43Great work if you did.
24:44OK, time for us all to take a quick break and I'll be back to puzzle them royally
24:48after these short messages.
24:49See you in a few minutes.
24:54Have a go at this up or down puzzle.
24:56Shift one letter, one space up or down in the alphabet.
24:59To solve the clue and reveal the answer.
25:02Best of luck.
25:09Here's the solution to your up or down puzzle.
25:13If you got it right, well done.
25:19Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling.
25:20I'm Jeremy Vine and you're not.
25:22Across the vast expanse of the studio, Carol and Sally remain locked in a puzzling battle
25:27with the help of their trusted celebrity friends, Harriet Kemsley and Sunetra Sarka.
25:31They all want to win, but perhaps they don't all have the tools to do so.
25:35Oh.
25:35Yeah, that sounded pretty serious.
25:38OK, we've reached the inevitable point where Harriet and Sunetra are put to the ultimate
25:42puzzling test.
25:43It is time for their celebrity guest head to head.
25:46Oh, my goodness.
25:46So it's you against you.
25:48So it's you against you.
25:48And the game is join the dots.
25:52This is the part of the show where Carol and Sally kick back a bit.
25:55Relax as the puzzles move to their guest collaborators, Harriet and Sunetra.
26:00On the screen you'll be shown a puzzle consisting of a category and a series of dots.
26:05Example here, internet technology.
26:08Now, as the lines start to appear, you can shout it out if you know it.
26:15This is so hard.
26:17Can you see something?
26:18Can you see an M?
26:19Very old thing.
26:19Modem.
26:21Modem, Sunetra, yes.
26:22That's been a long time to go.
26:23If you shout it out and you're wrong, we freeze it and the other person can steal.
26:27There are five puzzles to solve.
26:28Fingers on buzzers, Harriet and Sunetra.
26:30Here's the first.
26:31Oh, God.
26:31Come on.
26:32Book and film series.
26:33OK.
26:35Looks like three words.
26:36This is mad.
26:38What?
26:38What?
26:39How on earth?
26:39Think about the letters.
26:40Just look at it there.
26:44Harriet.
26:45The Hunger Games.
26:46Is it The Hunger Games?
26:48Yes.
26:50That's exactly the same time.
26:52Fingers on buzzers, here's your next.
26:55Musical instrument.
26:58Seems like one word.
27:01Oh.
27:03What's that?
27:05Lines appearing.
27:07Looks like a U in there.
27:09Sunetra.
27:09Concertina?
27:11Is it Concertina?
27:13It is.
27:14It is.
27:15Wow.
27:16This is like one of those boxing matches where there's just three punches and it's over.
27:20You're very evenly matched at the moment.
27:22Next one.
27:23European landmark.
27:26Ooh.
27:27Something long.
27:37Sunetra.
27:38The Brandenburg Gate.
27:39Is it The Brandenburg Gate?
27:41Yes, it is.
27:44It makes you feel dizzy staring at it, doesn't it?
27:47Yes.
27:47It's not the way the natural world should be.
27:50So Brandenburg Gate is right.
27:51Next one, please.
27:53Food.
27:55It makes like three words.
27:57Lines appearing.
27:59Gradually, one or two letters coming through.
28:02Could be an A in there.
28:07Harriet?
28:08Chili con carne.
28:09Chili con carne.
28:10Is that right?
28:11Yes, it is.
28:13Final one.
28:14This round has been in record time.
28:16You're fast, you two.
28:17On the buzzers.
28:18OK.
28:19Panel show.
28:20Must be ours.
28:22Ooh, it looks like three, is it?
28:23No.
28:26Sunetra.
28:27Have I got news for you?
28:29Have I got news for you?
28:30Question mark.
28:32Well, go on.
28:32Yes, it is.
28:33Oh, well done.
28:35I don't know what happened there.
28:36You have to keep refreshing...
28:37Your eyes.
28:38Your eyes.
28:39Yeah.
28:39Well done both.
28:40It's not easy, particularly the first time.
28:42Harriet scored four.
28:44Sunetra scored six.
28:45Oh, wow.
28:46What's that going to do to these very tight totals?
28:49Carol and Harriet have 24 points.
28:53Sally and Sunetra have 24.
28:57Oh, no, it's another tense one.
28:59Things are about to get even hotter with our next perplexing puzzle.
29:02This is heat map.
29:05Here's how it works for each puzzle in this round.
29:07The players are shown an image of a QWERTY keyboard
29:09and above the keyboard is a category.
29:11So here we've got pop star and actress.
29:12And then below it you'll see the letters being used are in green,
29:16orange and red.
29:17If it's in once, it's green.
29:19Twice, orange.
29:20Three or more times, red.
29:22So this is just an example.
29:24Have a guess.
29:26OK.
29:28Oh, right.
29:31Carol's just told me it's Ariana Grande.
29:33Let's have a look.
29:35It's Ariana.
29:36So, did you defy gravity or defy logic there?
29:39Ariana Grande is a bit much for me.
29:40Ah.
29:41I normally order an Ariana Demi
29:43or sometimes just a hot chocolate and a muffin.
29:49Sally and Sunetra, you're up first.
29:51Here's your first puzzle for two points.
29:53Watch and learn, Harriet.
29:55US state.
29:56Are we both doing this?
29:57We can chat.
29:57No, this is Sally and Sunetra.
29:59OK, so this is...
29:59And there's at least three S's and at least three I's.
30:04There's a million I's, a million S's,
30:06so we're thinking we know what this is, don't we?
30:09Mmm.
30:09I think it is...
30:12Yeah.
30:13P-I-S.
30:16Oh, Mississippi.
30:17Mississippi, yeah.
30:18Mississippi.
30:19Yeah, it looks like it must be, doesn't it?
30:21How funny.
30:21So few letters but such a long word.
30:24Yeah.
30:24Is it Mississippi?
30:25Well done.
30:27That's a great spell.
30:28Four S's, four I's.
30:31Wow.
30:31Carol and Harriet, here's your first heat map.
30:35An animal's foot.
30:38At least three T's.
30:44What on?
30:45I know what this is.
30:47A pig's...
30:48Trotter.
30:50Trotter.
30:51Is it a trotter?
30:54Yeah, how do you think about that?
30:56Thank you, man.
30:56Sally and Sunetra, you could do yours now.
30:58Heat map, here we go.
31:01Irish actor.
31:02Aw.
31:03At least three L's.
31:08Er...
31:13Colin Farrell?
31:14Yeah.
31:17I think it's Colin Farrell.
31:20Is it Colin Farrell?
31:22Is it Colin Farrell?
31:23Well done.
31:24Yes.
31:25So, Carol and Harriet, here's your next Welsh bands.
31:30OK.
31:34I know it too many.
31:36I knew you'd know this one.
31:36I just knew you'd get this straight away.
31:39I know.
31:39I've been to see them.
31:40I just knew you'd get this straight away.
31:41I've been to see them in Cardiff.
31:42St...
31:43Stere...
31:45Stere...
31:45Stere...
31:47Oh...
31:48Phonics.
31:49This is Stereophonics.
31:52Well done.
31:55And they are good, aren't they?
31:56They are good, aren't they?
31:56Stereophonics, Welsh band.
31:58Sally and Sunetra, here's your next...
32:01Quiz show host.
32:03Let's have a J.
32:05Again.
32:07So, lots of double letters and at least three S's and N's.
32:12Interesting.
32:13OK, quiz show.
32:14One O.
32:14That's going to help us.
32:15That's going to help us.
32:16So, let's go through the quiz shows.
32:18Is it Bradley Walsh?
32:20No.
32:22Stephen Mulhern.
32:30Will we all know this quiz show host when it's revealed?
32:34Jeremy, sure?
32:35Yeah.
32:35OK, I trust you on this.
32:38I think...
32:39Might need to push you for an answer here.
32:41They're going to steal it if you don't give it to us.
32:42OK.
32:43I don't know.
32:45Sorry, I don't know.
32:45Anything.
32:46Go on.
32:46I don't know.
32:47All right.
32:48Carol and Harriet, you can steal for a point.
32:52I want to give Carol a chance.
32:53Here.
32:55Do you...
32:55Oh, you don't...
32:56No.
32:57I'm like you.
32:58I'm going through it.
32:58Have you got an answer?
33:00About 15.
33:00I don't know the answer.
33:01It'll buzz you out otherwise.
33:03OK.
33:04We've got to go back here to the beginning of Mastermind
33:08and the guy who did it.
33:09Magnus!
33:10Magnus!
33:10Magnus!
33:11Of course.
33:12So, when you said, will we know it?
33:14I thought...
33:15Yeah.
33:16Brilliant.
33:17Carol and Harriet, here's your next.
33:21National treasure.
33:21Sally Lindsay.
33:23Oh, mate.
33:24Yes.
33:24This is the last one.
33:27You're welcome to guess yourself, Carol.
33:29That is allowed.
33:30It's so many letters.
33:32Totally.
33:32I can't even begin to put them in an order.
33:38I was going for...
33:40Ah!
33:41Oh!
33:42So, I think it's three words.
33:46OK.
33:46Dame.
33:47Yes.
33:48Yeah.
33:49Judy.
33:50Yep.
33:51Dench.
33:52There we go.
33:54If that's right, that's truly extraordinary.
33:55Let's have a look.
33:56Is it right?
33:58Wow!
33:58That's amazing, Carol.
34:00That's very impressive.
34:00If you get the title as well, we would have thought Judy Dench had said no.
34:03Well done, Dame Judi Dench.
34:05Yeah.
34:05Terrific.
34:06OK.
34:06At the end of that round of heatmap, it's Sally and Sunetra with 28.
34:11Carol and Harriet have 30.
34:15Are you beating our celebrities so far?
34:17It's time for our penultimate round.
34:19I know they grow up so fast, don't they?
34:21Here, both teams will be tackling the letterbox in turn with the fastest team to solve their puzzle,
34:26receiving two crucial bonus points.
34:28So let's strap big grins on our faces as we play Fernundrum.
34:34Let's see how this works.
34:35You're going to see three anagrams, each a letter longer than the one before.
34:38You must rearrange the tiles to solve the five-letter anagram before you move on to the longer one and
34:43so on.
34:44Example only.
34:45Anyone want to have a shout here?
34:46Feel free.
34:47Anyone?
34:47Hurry.
34:48Hurry.
34:49Good, yes.
34:50Triple?
34:51Triple?
34:52Triple.
34:52Good.
34:53Anyone for Earl Nut?
34:57Neutral.
34:59There we go.
35:00That's how you do it.
35:01As ever, you'll be against the clock, so as soon as you've solved the third anagram,
35:05hit the button to stop the clock.
35:06You'll score two points per solved word.
35:08If you complete all three anagrams faster than the other team, you get two bonus points.
35:12That's how we roll.
35:14Carol and Harriet, you're leading.
35:15Please head over to the letterbox to face your first, and only,
35:20Fernandrum.
35:23As soon as you solve the third Fernandrum, hit the button to stop the clock.
35:27Your time starts now.
35:30Trait.
35:32Are you serious?
35:32It started.
35:33It started, yes.
35:34So quickly.
35:35Trait is the word.
35:36A word, but it is also the word.
35:38Razors.
35:38Yes.
35:39You look at that one.
35:40OK, I just kind of want to be your backup person.
35:42OK.
35:43Z can help.
35:45Kangaroo.
35:46Zeb.
35:47Zeb.
35:48Er.
35:50Lozenge.
35:51Lozenge.
35:52Lozenge.
35:52Lozenge.
35:53Yes.
35:54I'll tell you why that was in my head, because I've got a cold at the moment, and I've been
35:59sucking on a lozenge all day.
36:01Oh, that's good.
36:04That's impressive.
36:05Very impressive.
36:06You had, and I don't know if this is an advantage or not, two words with a Z.
36:09Yeah.
36:10Z's are hard to get your eyes off.
36:11Well, I think it's very tidy, Harold.
36:13Yeah, only after you've finished I do that.
36:15It's like the same thing.
36:17But what do you think of Z's?
36:18Well, at the Z, I just think of Zebra, and then I just think Zebras, and then I think lots
36:24of Zebras.
36:25Yeah.
36:27And then I'm just thinking about Zebras, and then Carol's already solved it.
36:30Well done.
36:30Lozenge, razors, traits, brilliantly done.
36:34Six points.
36:34We'll see if it's good enough for the bonus points.
36:37But before our second team, Sally and Zanetra, face their fenundrum, we're going to take a break.
36:42Things are getting a little heated, and we don't want anyone to say anything they didn't mean.
36:46Especially me.
36:47Please join us after the break, where we'll find out who comes out on top in celebrity puzzling.
36:56Why don't you try unscrambling this fenundrum during the ads?
37:00Get puzzling.
37:08Did you successfully solve this fenundrum?
37:12If you did, great job.
37:17Yes, look at this.
37:18They're doing that, the cross...
37:20People still do that.
37:21Well, I've been told I do mine wrong.
37:23Oh, I like that.
37:24I cross my fingers like that, but nobody else does.
37:26You don't see that anymore.
37:27This could be in a circus.
37:28OK, welcome back to celebrity puzzling.
37:30I was hoping you'd be here.
37:32So, OK, we're about to find out which of Carol and Harriet, or Sally and Zanetra, are going to win
37:36this thing.
37:37They're very close.
37:38Sally and Zanetra, you know how much is riding on this.
37:41Yes.
37:42You're going to face the fenundrum.
37:43Three new anagrams to solve.
37:45You need to beat the time set by Carol and Harriet to earn the crucial bonus point.
37:49Remember, once you solve all three anagrams, hit the button.
37:51Good luck.
37:52Your time starts now.
37:54Got this.
37:57Plump.
37:58Plump.
37:59Plump.
37:59Plump.
37:59Plump.
38:00Good.
38:01Well done.
38:02Well done.
38:03You do that.
38:04Oh, I say.
38:05This is fast.
38:07Cornish on.
38:08Cornish on.
38:09Is that right either?
38:10Is there a word?
38:10Cornish on?
38:11Yeah.
38:11Is that a word?
38:12Yeah, but is it Cornish on?
38:13It's not, is it?
38:14I don't even know what that means.
38:15Cornish on.
38:16No, I don't know what that is.
38:17It's a gherkin.
38:20Charch...
38:21Chrome...
38:23Chronicle...
38:23Chronic?
38:23Let's see.
38:24Trichronic.
38:25Chronic.
38:26Should I do it?
38:27Should I press it?
38:27Wait, wait, wait, wait.
38:28Don't press it until you've got it, please.
38:30No, no, that's not right.
38:31Watch out.
38:32Be careful here.
38:34Yes.
38:34Yes, well done.
38:37I'm trying to help.
38:39OK, chronic, fallow, plump are the right words.
38:43That was good.
38:44I can't wait to see who won on timings.
38:46Please head back to your seats and we'll find out.
38:54Sally and Sunetra with the words you got, all three words, six points.
38:58But actually, Carol and Harriet were just about five seconds ahead.
39:02Not much.
39:03I thought it was low.
39:04No, it was really, really close.
39:06So you get the bonus points from that round, two points.
39:09That means going into the final, the overall scores are Sally and Sunetra, 34.
39:13But Carol and Harriet just ahead on 38.
39:16Ooh.
39:17That's great.
39:18It definitely all comes down to this now.
39:20It's time for our final round.
39:21It is Answer Bank.
39:24So a little bit of catching up for Sunetra and Sally,
39:27but it could be done without any question at all.
39:29Everything is up in the air right now.
39:31In a moment, I'll show you a grid of 12 words.
39:34I'll then ask questions against the clock.
39:36Buzz in and give me the correct answer, which could be lateral, like a crossword clue.
39:40If an answer has more than one word, you must give all the corresponding words in the correct order.
39:45You'll score a point per word, so it could add up to winning or losing the whole show just on
39:50this.
39:50We now reveal all the words on the Answer Bank.

42:22A look of the eyes expressing dejection.
42:25Sally.
42:26Downbeat.
42:27No, I wanted downcast.
42:29Oh, we're out of time.
42:34Well, I have no idea how this is going to end, because that was...
42:38Close.
42:38It has to come to an end, though.
42:40The six promised rounds and the final have elapsed, and I'm taking the executive decision
42:45to simply hand the win to the team with the high score.
42:47To hell with the consequences.
42:49So, in the final, I can tell you that Sinatra and Sally scored more...
42:55Yeah.
42:56...than Carol and Harriet.
42:58Yeah, definitely.
42:58But you were ahead to start off with.
43:00Yeah.
43:01So, did they overtake you?
43:03I think so.
43:03Let us see.
43:05At the end of this very absorbing match, Carol and Harriet have 45.
43:10Sally and Sinatra have 47.
43:14That is so great!
43:16Amazing.
43:18Stressed, Harriet, but you feel like you've had a good workout.
43:21Yeah.
43:21My brain can relax.
43:23Good.
43:23That was so tight.
43:25Very, very tight.
43:26Very good.
43:27And close to 50, which is always a sign of good play.
43:30As the winning guest celebrity, Sinatra also gets this.
43:34Oh, wow.
43:34The cube is yours, Sinatra.
43:37Are you ready for this?
43:37Just fill it up!
43:40Yay!

43:47You can move.
43:48There we are.
43:48And we there have...
43:49We have Sally's blouse underneath Carol's head, and there's a within reason.
43:54Obviously, certain permutations are locked.
