00:17Welcome to Ridiculous, the Ridiculously Clever Show,
00:21where three teams of riddle solvers take on our devious riddle master.
00:25Hello, Henry. Hi, Ravia.
00:27How are you today? Very well.
00:29Very well, indeed. I'm excited. I'm very excited.
00:31I've got some particularly good riddles today.
00:33Have you? Well, guess what? We're going to mix it up today.
00:36Oh, how so?
00:37I have written a riddle for you.
00:40Oh, my goodness. I'm very excited about this. Are you ready?
00:42Yeah, I'm ready. I need my best riddle master voice.
00:45Here we go.
00:52OK, so... This is so good.
00:54Shh.
00:57So, propaganda...
00:58Yes.
00:58..is something that's sort of false media or something that...
01:01So, I think you could also call that spin.
01:04Ah!
01:04And I think if you're dizzy, you're in a spin as well.
01:06So, that's my guess.
01:07And I think from the look on your face, it might be right.
01:10Yes.
01:11You're absolutely right.
01:12The riddle master reigns supreme, as always.
01:15Well done, maestro.
01:17Did you think I did OK, though?
01:18I thought it was brilliant. It was a great riddle.
01:19Fabulous. Thank you so much.
01:20I won't be writing any more, though. Don't worry.
01:23Right, let's meet today's teams.
01:26Who's with us today?
01:27I'm Joel.
01:28This is my partner, Sarah, and we're from Sheffield.
01:30I'm Jaz.
01:31This is my brother's girlfriend, Gem, and we're from London.
01:33I'm Jordan Lee, and this is my partner, Sam,
01:35and we're from Cumberland.
01:37Teams, it's fabulous to have you with us this afternoon.
01:39So, let me explain how this is going to work.
01:41You're going to face a series of riddles from Henry here.
01:46And in order to unlock each riddle,
01:48you'll first have to correctly answer
01:50three general knowledge questions.
01:53Now, in this first round, the questions from me are worth £25.
01:58Henry, how much are your riddles worth?
02:00Well, these are the easiest riddles you're going to face
02:02throughout the whole game,
02:03so it's important to get these ones right.
02:04And if you do, they are worth £100 each.
02:07Yes, and we will be saying goodbye to one team
02:11at the end of this round.
02:13So, every question is important.
02:17OK, time for some general knowledge.
02:19Hands by the buzzers. Let's play.
02:24Which US sitcom broadcast episodes titled
02:28The One with all the...

03:48Jordan Lee and Sam.
03:49Live Aid.

03:51Live Aid.
03:53And that played to your strengths, didn't it, Jordan Lee?
03:55Yes.
03:56Tell us why, because the musical thing, and you and Sam are a couple of course.
04:00So, I've done musical theatre for most of my life and Sam's sister's very good at musical theatre and that's
04:06how I ended up meeting Sam.
04:07So, did you meet Jordan Lee at a musical?
04:09What was the...
04:09No, tell us.
04:10No, she was involved in a sort of Halloween scare night and she was dressed up and coming out of
04:16a...
04:16What was you in her?
04:17A coffin.
04:17Crawling out of a coffin.
04:19This is romantic.
04:20It's very lovely.
04:20So, Jordan Lee was crawling out of a coffin and you thought love at first sight.
04:23Obviously.
04:24Not quite at first, no.
04:25Love at first fright.
04:28So, you've unlocked your first riddle.
04:30Now, you do have a clue to use from Henry at any time during the game.
04:33If you get stuck, you only get one, so don't waste it.
04:36Okay, Henry.
04:37First riddle.
04:38Here it comes.
04:39This water is expected to arrive in the morning.
04:42What is it?
04:43Water and morning.
04:45It's not written morning as in sad morning.
04:48Yeah.
04:49It's water.

04:54In the morning.
04:55In the morning.
04:56Is it something to do with dew?
04:58Dew.
04:59Moisture.
04:59Moisture dew.
05:00Morning dew.
05:01Morning dew.
05:02Morning dew, maybe.
05:02I think so.
05:03That's the only thing I can think of.
05:05Yeah?
05:06You're happy with morning dew?
05:06Yeah, that's what I can think of.
05:07Morning dew.
05:09Morning dew.
05:10You're locking it in.
05:11Yeah.
05:14It's the right answer.
05:15Yeah.
05:15Well, dew, specifically, is the answer.
05:17Dew.
05:17But morning dew is acceptable.
05:19Yeah, of course.
05:19Water.
05:20Expected to arrive in the morning.
05:21If something's dew in the morning.
05:22Yeah.
05:22Expected to arrive.
05:23It's dew.
05:24As in D-U-E.
05:25But, of course, you have D-E-W.
05:27As in dew.
05:28Which is the moisture you would find on the lawn in the morning.
05:31And that means that I can add £100 to your prize pot.
05:34Jordan, Lee and Sam.
05:35Well done.
05:36Right.
05:36So that's our first riddle under our belt.

05:40Here they come.

06:25Joel and Sara.
06:27Terry Venables.

06:29Okay, Joel and Sara, you're also just one correct answer away from facing the Riddle Master.
06:35Which Olympic running race is named after a town in Greece?
06:40Joel and Sara.
06:41Marathon.
06:41Yep.
06:43Brilliant round for you.
06:44Well done, Joel and Sara.
06:45Welcome to the show properly.
06:46Nice to have you here.
06:47Nice to have you.
06:47Tell us a bit about your relationship.
06:50So, we met online.
06:52Am I right in thinking you tell a different story depending on who you're talking to?
06:56I do.
06:56Yeah, because it is a bit boring, isn't it, saying that we met online.
06:59So, Joel's a firefighter.
07:01So, I like to tell the story that he rescued me from a burning building.
07:04Well, yeah.
07:04That's much more exciting.
07:06Right.
07:06And so, Joel, you're a firefighter.
07:08That's right.
07:09The pressure of facing the Riddle Master must just be nothing.
07:11Honestly, my heart's pounding.
07:13Is it?
07:13Yeah.
07:14Right.
07:15Well, there's a firefighter who literally saves people's lives.
07:17My goodness.
07:18He's now afraid of you, Riddle Master.
07:20These riddles are pretty scary, but let's see if you can get this one right.
07:23Okay.
07:24I can help you hold your whiskey except when I'm falling all over the place.
07:29What am I?
07:30Okay.
07:31So, I'm thinking the glass.
07:33Erm, yeah.
07:33And they're called tumblers, aren't they?
07:36Yes.
07:36Yes.
07:36So, falling all over the place, tumbling, tumbler.
07:40That makes sense to me.
07:41It does.
07:42There's no other glasses, is there?
07:43Shall we go for that?
07:44Yeah, tumbler.
07:45Tumbler.
07:46You're locking in tumbler.
07:47Locking in tumbler.
07:48Tell us why.
07:49I do like a drop of whiskey, and that's what I drink out of.
07:52There's short, fat glasses.
07:54And falling all over the place, you'd be tumbling.
07:57After a few whiskies.
07:58After a few whiskies.
08:00It's the right answer.
08:01Well done.
08:01Tumbler is right.
08:02Yeah, of course.
08:03Short glass for a whiskey would be called a tumbler.
08:05And an acrobat would also be called a tumbler.
08:07Someone who falls all over the place.
08:08Well done.
08:08So, that's another £100 added to Joel and Sara's prize pot.
08:13There's plenty more money to come in this round, so let's keep playing.
08:17Which fruit drink that was created in 1908 by John Noel Nichols in Manchester

08:41Which style of knitwear, sometimes called a fisherman sweater, takes its name from an
08:47Irish island?

08:51The Aaron sweater or the Aaron jumper.
08:53Good answer.
08:54Which 1993 film stars John Candy as the coach of a bobsleigh team from Jamaica?
09:00Jazz and Jem.
09:01Cool Runnings.
09:02Classic, isn't it?
09:03Cool Runnings.
09:04Brilliant film.
09:05At what age does a person become an octogenarian?
09:10Joel and Sara.
09:1180.
09:12Yes.
09:14So Joel and Sara and Jazz and Jem, you're both just one correct answer away from unlocking
09:20the next riddle.
09:22In the New Testament of the Bible, Mary and Joseph lived in which town?
09:27Jordan Lee and Sam.
09:28Bethlehem.
09:29Incorrect.
09:29In the New…
09:31Joel and Sara.
09:32Nazareth.
09:33Yes.
09:34Okay, brilliant.
09:36So Joel and Sara, here we are again.
09:37Are you ready for another riddle?
09:39Yep, ready.
09:39How's your heart this time, Joel?
09:41A few beats per minute, slower.
09:43Okay, right.
09:44They're easing themselves into it now.
09:46Yeah.
09:46Which part of a wheel, it has been said, when the top reaches the bottom, pokes instead?
09:54Right, well, pokes, there's got to be some kind of kind of wordplay with spokes, I would
09:58have thought.
09:59Which part of a wheel?
09:59Or is it something to do?
10:00The part of a wheel spoke, it has been said.
10:04Has been said.
10:05Oh, so it might be something that's already in that first part.
10:07Yeah.
10:08Which part of a wheel?
10:10So is it something to do with the word wheel?
10:13Heel.
10:14There's no other words in there.
10:16The top reaches the bottom.
10:18Which part of a wheel it has been said?
10:19Respoke.
10:21Respoke.
10:22Spoke.
10:23Spoke.
10:23Spoke.
10:24Spoke.
10:24It works.
10:25Yes, it does work.
10:26Yeah.
10:27Brilliant.
10:28Okay.
10:28We're going to say spoke.
10:30You're lucky you had spoke.
10:31Yeah.
10:32We did get there in the end.
10:33Yes!
10:34Yeah, well done.
10:35Part of a wheel, of course, a spoke is part of a wheel.
10:37If you've said something in the past, you spoke.
10:39And, of course, yeah, when the top reaches the bottom, pokes, you were kind of getting
10:43there right from the beginning, so you take the S and put it at the end.
10:46And, yeah, spoke is the right answer.
10:48Well done.
10:48That's £100 to Joel and Sara.
10:51Right, we have one more riddle left in this round, so let's keep playing.
10:55Launched in 2022, what single letter follows ITV in the name, Jordan Lee and Sam?
11:03X.
11:03Yes.
11:04In the name of an online streaming service?

11:07You can see all series of Ridiculous on ITVX.
11:10Next question.
11:11Which town in Derbyshire is famous for a tart and a pudding?
11:16Joel and Sara?
11:17Bakewell.

11:21Bakewell tart.
11:23In the TV comedy series Only Fools and Horses, what is the first name of Boise's wife?
11:29Joel and Sara?
11:30Marlene?
11:31Yes.
11:32I have to say, Marlene!
11:33Isn't that how we used to say it?
11:36What nine-letter word trademarked in 1966 is used as a generic term for artificial grass,
11:44often used for sports?
11:45Jazz and Gem.
11:46AstroTurf?
11:47Correct.
11:48Often used for sports playing surfaces.
11:52Which British pop reggae group had a 1983 UK number one single titled Red Red Wine?
11:59Jazz and Gem?
12:01You two.
12:02Incorrect.
12:03Joel and Sara?
12:05UB40.
12:05Yes.
12:07You were so close.
12:09UB40 is correct.
12:10You two.
12:11What a shame.
12:14Joel and Sara, here we are again.
12:15Well done.
12:16You're doing brilliantly.
12:17Right.
12:17What have you got for them?
12:18Your fourth and final riddle of the round.
12:20Mmm.
12:21Alone I can serve you tea or a coffee, but when twinned with a bake, you might want to scoff
12:27me.
12:28What have I become?
12:30So what do you serve tea and coffee on?
12:33This is my thought process.
12:35It's how I'm thinking.
12:36Well, like a tray.
12:37A tray.
12:37Mm-hmm.
12:38And then you bake a tray bake, which is really yummy, and you want to scoff it.
12:45Yeah.
12:46Oh, yeah, that's worked.
12:47So on its own, it's a tray.
12:49Twinned with a bake, tray bake.
12:51Yeah, I'm just worried it's a bit too simple.
12:53No, I think that's okay.
12:54I can't think of anything else that it would be.
12:57Okay, do you want to go for it?
12:59Yep.
12:59Okay, we're going to go for final answer.
13:01Tray.
13:04You're locking in tray?
13:05I think so.
13:06No.
13:09I'm afraid it's the wrong answer.
13:11Oh, no.
13:11Sorry.
13:12Now, a tray alone can't serve coffee, right?
13:16Because you need a cup as well.
13:18What would you have tea in?
13:20Cup.
13:21Cup.
13:21Cupcake.
13:23Cupcake.
13:24Cupcake is the right answer, Jordan Lee.
13:25Yes.
13:26Cupcake.
13:26Yeah, so take the cup.
13:27That's what you serve the tea in.
13:29You add the bake, which is the cake part.
13:30Ah.
13:31And what have I become?
13:31A cupcake, something you might want to scoff.
13:33Right, okay.
13:34So, no money in anyone's prize pot after that riddle,
13:37but we are at the end of this round.
13:39So, let's take a look at what's happening with the scores.
13:41Joel and Sarah, you have £450.
13:44Jordan Lee and Sam, you have £250.
13:47Jaz and Jem, you have £175,
13:50which sadly means, I know your heart is broken,
13:53that we have to be saying goodbye.
13:54And actually, Jaz and Jem, well, Jaz particularly,
13:57you're a big fan of Henry and this show, aren't you?
13:59I am.
14:00Yep, I am.
14:00Am I right in thinking that you have written a riddle?
14:03Ooh.
14:04Yes, I have one for you, Henry.
14:05Go on, then.
14:05You've got one for me.
14:06I do.
14:07You had one for me.
14:07Now, okay, I've got riddles coming from all sides.
14:10A one-seeded fruit I may be,
14:13yet all of your calendars are full of me.
14:15What am I?
14:16A one-seeded fruit I might be.
14:18Yeah.
14:19But all of your calendars are full of me.
14:21But all of your calendars are full of me.
14:22What am I?
14:23I think I know it.
14:24Good one.
14:24I think I know it.
14:25What is it, Henry?
14:26I'm not sure.
14:27Well, so your calendars would be full of dates and a date would be a fruit.
14:31Yeah.
14:31I'm not sure if it has one seed, but is that right?
14:33It has one seed?
14:35Yeah.
14:35Great.
14:36So date.
14:36Is that right?
14:37Date is correct.
14:38Yes.
14:38I love that.
14:39She's like, correct.
14:41Very good.
14:42It's quite powerful.
14:43Do you understand how I feel?
14:43They really stink when people get them right, doesn't it?
14:45Yeah.
14:46So fun.
14:47Thank you so much, Jazz and Gem.
14:48And it's been fantastic to have you on the show.
14:50Thank you for having us.
14:51Great riddle.
14:51Very good.
14:52And that's it for part one.
14:54You might want to go and have a cake, a cup of tea, I don't know, maybe some dates.
14:57Whatever you like, you can go and do it.
14:58But do try and solve this riddle, won't you?
15:00Go on, Henry.
15:01I'm what an American crab might do next to a road.
15:05What am I?
15:06I'll give you the answer when we come back.
15:18Welcome back.
15:19Now, before the break, Henry, what was that riddle you set us?
15:22Yeah, the riddle was, I'm what an American crab might do next to a road.
15:27What am I?
15:28Joel, Sarah, Jordan Lee and Sam.
15:30Any thoughts on this one?
15:33No.
15:33No.
15:34What do you have next to a road?
15:36A sidewalk.
15:37A sidewalk is the right answer.
15:40Pavement in the UK, but in America, certainly a sidewalk.
15:43And, of course, crab walks sideways.
15:45Yeah, it's a fun one.
15:46Well done, Jordan Lee, yeah.
15:47So, welcome back to the second round.
15:49You've made it through the first round.
15:50Let's take a look at the scores.
15:51Jordan, Lee and Sam, you've got £250.
15:54Joel and Sarah, you've got £450.
15:56Now, here in round two, the general knowledge questions from me
16:00are now worth £50.
16:02Once again, you need three correct to unlock a riddle,
16:05and those riddles have changed.
16:07Henry, would you explain?
16:08Of course.
16:09So, in this round, you're going to be facing visual riddles.
16:12So, as you might expect, they contain pictures,
16:13but also numbers, shapes and words.
16:15They're a little bit trickier, but if you can get them right,
16:18they're worth £200 each.
16:20Only one member of the team will be able to answer,
16:23and you'll have just 60 seconds to get it right.
16:27And in this round, if you get your riddle wrong,
16:30it will then be offered to the opposing team for a potential steal.
16:33So, lots of things can change in this round,
16:35but first, of course, you need to answer some more
16:37general knowledge questions.
16:39So, hands by the buzzers.

17:22Yes.
17:23BUZZER
17:23Oh, goodness, yeah.
17:25You knew what it was, but we need the exact name.
17:27The Great British Sewing Bee is correct.
17:28Well done, Joel and Sarah.

17:59BUZZER
18:00Yes.
18:01Well done, Joel and Sarah.
18:03Now you've unlocked the first visual riddle in this round.
18:06Only one of you can face this.
18:08There are three categories to choose from, so take a look.
18:10You've got pictures, numbers or names.
18:13I think if you do this one then I don't have to make a choice.
18:16OK.
18:18Let's do pictures.
18:19OK.
18:20And you're going to do it?
18:21I'll do pictures.
18:22Just a double check.
18:24So you've chosen pictures.
18:26Now let me remind you that you can still use a clue in this round if you need it.
18:30We will stop the clock for as long as it takes for Henry to read the clue, so bear that
18:34in mind.
18:35OK.
18:35Henry, over to you.
18:36Here we go, Joel.
18:3660 seconds to give me the right answer after I've finished reading the riddle.
18:40Help the detective crack the conundrum.
18:43What connects the clues?
18:44Your time starts now.
18:49Right, so there's something under the suit.
18:50I don't know what that is.
18:51Blood or shadow.
18:54Ink from, or lead from the pencil.
18:58Something underneath the book.
19:00And then what I guess is sleep on the pillow.
19:05Crack the conundrum.
19:06What connects the clues?
19:10Um.
19:14So.
19:15You've got 30 seconds left.
19:19Graphite.
19:20Words.
19:23What would a suit be?
19:26What's that middle stairs?
19:28No idea.
19:31Connects the clues.
19:35You've got 10 seconds.
19:40Do you want to lock in an answer?
19:42Yeah, I'll just say lead.
19:45I've no idea.
19:46You're locking in lead?
19:47Yeah.
19:48Joel, I'm afraid it's wrong.
19:49OK.
19:50Jordan Lee and Sam, for a steal, what's your answer?
19:52Case.
19:53Case.
19:53Why?
19:55Suitcase, pillowcase, staircase, pencilcase, bookcase.
19:59It's the right answer.
20:00Case.
20:00Well done.
20:01Yeah, of course.
20:02A little clue in the top as well.
20:03It said help the detective crack the conundrum.
20:05But more commonly, a detective would crack a case, of course.
20:08Well done, Jordan Lee and Sam.
20:10That's £100.
20:11Good steal there.

21:01Yes, Coco is correct.
21:03It's a lovely film, isn't it?
21:04Okay, Joel and Sara and Jordan Lee and Sam, you're both just one correct answer away from unlocking the next
21:09visual riddle.
21:10Good luck.
21:11Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins were lead singers of which British prog rock group?
21:16Joel and Sara.
21:17Genesis.
21:17Yes.
21:19It was Genesis.
21:21Right, Joel and Sara.
21:22So, Sara, you left Joel to it last time.
21:24I did.
21:25Who feels brave this time?
21:26We've got numbers or names.
21:28Shall I do...
21:29I've just felt really brave all of us.
21:30Yeah.
21:31Okay.
21:31Shall I do one?
21:33Yes.
21:33Okay.
21:34Sudden surge of bravery from Sara.
21:38I'd like to go for names, please.
21:42Okay.
21:43Sara, 60 seconds to give me the right answer after I've finished reading this riddle.

22:10letter box, post, carrot, taxi, post, carrot tab, post, red letter, carrot.
22:23Can I have a clue, please?
22:25Stop the clock.
22:26The clue is, he's a really colourful character.
22:28Start the clock.
22:30He's a really colourful character.
22:33Colourful character.
22:34I'm going to kick myself with this.
22:36And now I am.
22:36I just can't see it.
22:40A colourful character.
22:42So, that means he's a red, orange, yellow.
22:47Red, post, carrot, yellow.
22:50Do you want to lock something in?
22:53Nope.
22:53I can't think of anything.
22:55I've just got a complete mind block.
22:58Right, so, for a steal, Jordan Lee and Sam, do you have an answer?
23:02We were thinking Roy, red, orange, yellow.
23:06That's the only thing that we could think of, yeah?
23:08Roy.
23:09Yeah.
23:10It's the right answer.
23:11Well done, Roy.
23:12Yeah.
23:14Simpler than you were thinking, maybe you saw.
23:15Yeah, just red, orange, yellow.
23:17Yeah, the colours there.
23:18The first letter of each colour gives you the name Roy.
23:21Well done.
23:22Jordan Lee and Sam, well done.
23:23That's £100.
23:24A great steal.
23:26OK, we've got one riddle left.
23:28Hands by the buzzers.
23:29Let's play.
23:30Which Italian phrase meaning, to the tooth, describes cooked pasta that is...
23:35Joel and Sara?
23:36Al dente.
23:37Correct.
23:37Still slightly hard.
23:39Al dente.
23:41England's highest mountain, Scarfell Pike, is in which national park?
23:44Joel and Sara?
23:45Peak District.
23:46Incorrect.
23:47Pink.
23:47Jordan Lee and Sam?
23:49Lake District.
23:49Yes.
23:52What does the P stand for in the common abbreviation ASAP?
23:57Jordan Lee and Sam?
23:58Possible.
23:59Yes.
23:59As soon as possible.
24:01In the book by Anna Sewell, what type of animal is the title character Black Beauty?
24:08Joel and Sara?
24:09Horse.
24:09Yes.
24:10Right, so it's anyone's now, isn't it?
24:14In Christianity, what name is given to the period of preparation for the celebration of the birth of Jesus?
24:20Joel and Sara?
24:21Advent.
24:22Yes, that begins four Sundays before Christmas.
24:25Advent is correct.
24:27Right.
24:28Joel and Sara?
24:29I'm going to leave it to you.
24:31Yeah, I think I'm not great at the numbers ones, but Sara is worse, so.
24:35Sorry.
24:37It's true.
24:38It's true.
24:39I'll have a go at numbers and see if we can finally get one of these right.
24:42Yes, here we go.
24:44OK.
24:45Numbers it is.
24:46Once again, Joel, 60 seconds to give me the right answer after I've finished reading the
24:49riddle.
24:50What is the value of the pink jellyfish?
24:53Your time starts now.
24:56What is the value of the pink jellyfish?
24:58OK, so we've got spots on.
24:59So, the green...
25:00Four spots on the...
25:01Four, four, 16.
25:04Five times five, 15.
25:07Five on the yellow one.
25:09Four.
25:13Uh...
25:17So...
25:20Five times four is 20.
25:25Four times ten.
25:28Do we think that's what it is, the number of spots?
25:31Oh, no.
25:36Oh, no, it's five times three.
25:37Three.
25:38Oh, the legs as well.
25:39So, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven times four.
25:43Twenty-eight.
25:45Are you locking in an answer?
25:46Yeah.
25:47Twenty-eight.
25:49Twenty-eight, Joel, why?
25:50Because I only just realised they've got different numbers of tentacles.
25:53And I think it's the number of tentacles multiplied by the number of spots.
25:58Feeling confident?
25:59No.
26:00You should.
26:01It's the right answer.
26:02Yes!
26:03Twenty-eight.
26:04Twenty-eight, of course, yeah.
26:04Number of tentacles multiplied by the number of spots.
26:07So, there at the end, yeah, you've got four legs or four tentacles and seven spots.
26:11Twenty-eight.
26:12Well done.
26:12So, that's £200 to Joel and Sarah.
26:15Ooh.
26:16So, teams, yes, at the end of this round, Joel and Sarah have £1,100.
26:22Jordan Lee and Sam have £700.
26:24But all of that could change in the next round.
26:27But now it's time for a break.
26:29Henry, should we have another riddle for the viewers at home?
26:32What a good idea.
26:34I'm often sat like a pointy hat in the middle of the road, but as a wafer, it's safer.
26:40What am I?
26:41I'll give you the answer after this break.
26:53Welcome back to Ridiculous, the ridiculously clever and brain-teasing show.
26:58Now, you don't like us to have a rest over the break, do you?
27:01No, no, Riddle Master.
27:02Not doing Ridiculous.
27:03No, more riddles.
27:04And this is a particularly fun one.
27:06Any ideas what it is, Rambo?
27:07I'll read it to you one more time.
27:09I'm often sat like a pointy hat in the middle of the road.
27:12But as wafer, it's safer.
27:15What am I?
27:16Cone.
27:17Cone is the right answer.
27:19Yes.
27:19A pointy hat in the middle of the road would be a cone.
27:21As wafer, it's safer.
27:23Of course, you'd have a wafer cone with ice cream.
27:25Yes.
27:25Yum.
27:26Thank you so much, Riddle Master.
27:27Now, as we enter into our deciding round, Joel and Sara, Jordan, Lee and Sam.
27:33Right.
27:34Let's take a look at your prize pots.
27:35So, we have £700 and £1,100.
27:39Now, you might think that gap seems quite big, but it's not.
27:43Because this is where the competition gets serious.
27:46The team with the highest prize pot at the end of this round will be going through to face Henry's
27:52riddle run.
27:53Now, this time, correct questions from me are now worth £100.
27:59And how much are your riddles worth, Henry?
28:01So, this is the deciding round.
28:02And this round features the toughest riddles you have faced yet.
28:06If you get them right, they're worth £300 each.
28:09So, you can see how that gap can close really quickly.
28:12Alright.
28:13If you're ready, hands by the buzzers.
28:15Let's play.
28:22Born and C.
28:24Bumble Bee.
28:32Bumble Bee.
28:33Joel and Sara.
28:34Bumble.
28:34Yes.
28:36£100 to Joel and Sara.
28:39How many hours before noon is midnight?
28:42Bumble Bee.
28:42Jordan, Lee and Sam?
28:4412.
28:44Good. Answer.
28:46The cast of which comedy-drama included John Thompson
28:49and Faye Ripley as Pete and Jenny?
28:51Joel and Sarah?
28:52Cold feet.
28:53Yes.
28:56The liqueur, Crème de Monde, is flavoured with what aromatic plant?
29:01Jordan, Lee and Sam?
29:03Orange.
29:04Incorrect.
29:04The liqueur, Crème de Monde, is...
29:07Joel and Sarah?
29:08I'm going to go mint.
29:09Correct.
29:11Joel and Sarah.
29:12It was worth the guess, wasn't it?
29:15Right, OK, so you've got a £300 riddle.
29:18You've got no clues left, so good luck to both of you.
29:21Henry?
29:23We're both in on the joke and absolutely fine.
29:26We're among the broken-hearted and feeling all right.
29:30What are we?
29:31I think it's something to do with the word joke.
29:35Sounds like it.
29:36We are both in on the joke.
29:38Or another word for joke.
29:41And absolutely fine.
29:43What is another way of saying absolutely fine?
29:46It's OK.
29:48OK is in joke, yeah, nice.
29:50We're among the broken-hearted...
29:52And that's got OK in.
29:53OK.
29:54And feeling all right, which means OK.
29:56So what are we?
29:58OK.
29:59What do you think?
29:59It's too much of a coincidence that OK is in all those words.
30:02Yeah.
30:03Yeah.
30:03Should we go for it?
30:04Yeah, let's go for it.
30:05Final answer, OK.
30:07You're locked in OK.
30:10OK.
30:11OK.
30:13Is the right answer.
30:15That was so painful.
30:18I'm sorry, yeah.
30:18A little clear at the beginning as well.
30:20We're both in on the joke, so you're looking for two letters that are in joke.
30:24And among the broken-hearted, of course, you correctly said, yeah, OK.
30:26And both those words, feeling all right and absolutely fine synonyms for OK.
30:30Well done.
30:31That's £300 added to your prize pot.
30:34Right, let's keep playing.
30:36Which tree-dwelling primate native to Borneo and Sumatra
30:40has a Malay name meaning forest person?
30:45Jolensara.
30:46Orangutan.

30:48That's £100 to Jolensara.

31:10Lorraine Kelly.
31:12What colour follows Penny in the name of the world's first adhesive postage stamp?
31:19Jolensara.
31:20Black.
31:21Yes.
31:22Penny Black.
31:23Right, Jolensara, you've done it again.
31:25Here we are.
31:27OK, so what have you got for them this time?
31:29Is it going to be OK?
31:30Who knows?
31:30Let's see.
31:32What route seen on a cold gent's nose looks like a motor set to decompose?
31:39Er, I'm thinking decompose rot.
31:43Right, what do you call a car that's just...
31:45A banger.
31:46Yeah.
31:47So it could be something like that.
31:51It's what you call a cold gent's nose.
31:54An icicle.
31:56Looks like a motor set to decompose.
31:59Rip.
31:59What route seen...
32:01A route seen on a cold gent's nose.
32:04Unless it's like...
32:05In the...
32:05Do you think it's in the word?
32:07If it's...
32:07We're just looking for a root word.
32:10Erm...
32:11What route seen on a cold gent's nose?
32:13OK, hang on.
32:13We go...
32:14Maybe it's what root like has in a parsnip.
32:18What roots are they?
32:20Er, turnip.
32:21Carrot.
32:21Squash.
32:23Swede.
32:24Squash.
32:24Potato.
32:27Looks like an old gent's nose.
32:29What looks like an old gent's nose?
32:31Garlic, ginger.
32:33Yeah, there you go.
32:34Bulbous.
32:34Garlic.
32:36Is that a root?
32:37But then what's that got to do with a motor set to decompose?
32:43Erm...
32:43Just choose something.
32:45You have to lock something in now, please.
32:46OK, garlic.
32:47We'll go with garlic.
32:49Garlic.
32:51You're wrong, I'm afraid.
32:52OK, Jordan Lee and Sam.
32:54Sam, what's your answer?
32:56Carrot.
32:57Carrot, Jordan Lee, why?
32:58Cos it's on a snowman that's going to decompose and melt.
33:04Carrot, sorry, you said it.
33:06It's the right answer.
33:07He didn't manage to get there and figure it all out.
33:10There's a little bit...
33:11Yeah, you said rot as well, which is obviously the clue there at the end.
33:14Motor, car, rot, yeah.
33:16Motor that's going to decompose is car, rot.
33:18And on a snowman, you would have a carrot.
33:21Cold, gent, snowman, yeah.
33:22I was busy watching Jordan Lee's face.
33:25During your deliberations, when they said parsnip, I thought, oh, they've got it.
33:29Or when they said carrot, I thought they definitely got it.
33:34But right, Jordan Lee and Sam, well done.
33:37That's an £150 steal.
33:41Now, we still have, believe it or not, another riddle left in this round.
33:46OK, good luck to both teams.
33:48Hands by the buzzers.

34:44into the harbour of which American city?
34:47Tony, Joel and Sarah.

34:50It's the Boston Tea Party for that reason,
34:52and you knew the story clearly, Jordan Lee.
34:54So, either team here could unlock the final riddle of this round.
35:00What is the name of the teenage witch who first appeared?
35:04Joel and Sarah.
35:05Sabrina.
35:05Yes, Sabrina.
35:07Yes, Sabrina, who first appeared in Archie Comics in 1962.
35:11Sabrina the teenage witch.
35:14Right, Joel and Sarah, good luck.
35:16I mean, honestly, you do crack me up, you two,
35:19when you're trying to solve a riddle.
35:21Right, what have we got for this?
35:22We've got this one.
35:23I look like I'm 13 upside down.
35:26I sound like 21 twice, but I'm actually 23.
35:31What am I?
35:33Oh, dear.
35:35It's going to happen again.
35:37Right, 13 upside down in numbers just looks the same.
35:43OK, look at it from a different angle.
35:45Pictures-wise, what looks like 13...
35:4913 upside down, B, I look like 21 twice, that's 2...
35:55I sound like 21...
35:5742.
35:58B, but I'm actually 23.
36:00What's the 23rd letter of the alphabet?
36:04W?
36:05I don't know.
36:06I don't know, that's my only thing that I'm thinking.
36:10Just 42, W.
36:13W, W, I'm going to go for...
36:15W?
36:15So, is it put them together, so B something W,
36:18Bo?
36:20I look like they sound like...
36:2121 twice, 42.
36:23What's significant about 42?
36:2442, W.
36:25That's the only thing I can think of.
36:27OK.
36:29W.
36:31You're locking in W.
36:32Yeah, yeah.
36:34Why do you think it's W?
36:35Oh, I don't honestly know.
36:37Something to do with that conversation we just had.
36:40I think you have a very strong feeling that this is the wrong answer.
36:43Yeah, yeah.
36:43It's the right answer.
36:46Yeah, the letter W.
36:48No way!
36:50So, you got to the idea of using the alphabet,
36:53but you didn't apply that to the rest of the riddle,
36:55so you kind of got to the answer without realising that you had.
36:58You were sort of rhyming 42 with W, which it does,
37:00but a bit tenuous, that.
37:01But I'm actually 23,
37:02so the 23rd letter of the alphabet is W.
37:05I look like I'm 13 upside down.
37:06What's the 13th letter of the alphabet?
37:08I don't know.
37:10Well, what's the W upside down, backwards?
37:12Jordan Lee knows it all.
37:13M.
37:13M, yes.
37:15M, very good.
37:16M upside down.
37:17And so, Jordan Lee,
37:18why don't you tell us what the I sound like 21 twice bit is?
37:2142 W.
37:2342.
37:23In fact, 21,
37:25the 21st letter of the alphabet, is U.
37:27So, U twice is W.
37:30Sounds like W.
37:30So, yeah, you got it.
37:31Again, I'm not quite sure how you did it.
37:33I don't think you know how you did it.
37:35But you got it.
37:35Well done.
37:36And I know, Jordan Lee, you were like,
37:38ugh, again.
37:39Did you get it again?
37:40Did you have it?
37:42Sorry.
37:42A great competition here.
37:44Well done.
37:44That is another £300 to Joel and Sarah.
37:48Now, after that round, congratulations to Joel and Sarah.
37:52Sarah, you're through to the final with a prize pot of £2,600.
37:56And Jordan Lee and Sam, you have £1,250,
38:00which means it's time to say goodbye to Jordan Lee and Sam.
38:03How do you feel at the end of all of that drama?
38:06I'm still quite happy.
38:07Yeah, I'm still quite happy.
38:08I don't think I could have done any better.
38:09No, we got quite a few, so...
38:11We need to brush up on our general knowledge.
38:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.
38:14Jordan Lee and Sam, thank you so much for being on the show.
38:16It's been a pleasure to meet you.
38:17And after the break, Joel and Sarah will face Henry's riddle run
38:21and we'll see how they cope under pressure
38:23with all the cash they've accumulated up for grabs.
38:26But first, let's have another riddle for the viewers
38:28to solve over the break.
38:29Here it comes.
38:30When fully formed, I might be found in a Spanish dancer's hand.
38:33When cut into three, I might be what a fisherman does.
38:37What am I?
38:39I'll give you the answer when we come back.
38:52Welcome back.
38:53This is ridiculous.
38:54Now, Henry, you set us another devious riddle over the break.
38:57Certainly did.
38:57I asked, when fully formed,
38:59I might be found in a Spanish dancer's hand.
39:01When cut into three, I might be what a fisherman does.
39:05What am I?
39:06Joel and Sarah are our top riddle solvers.
39:08What do you think?
39:09I didn't have enough brain energy to even think about it.
39:12I've got to be honest.
39:14No, fair enough.
39:14Conserve yourself for the final round.
39:16Yeah, absolutely.
39:17Rambo, any ideas?
39:18I have no excuses.
39:20What would a Spanish dancer have?
39:21Like a rose?
39:22If you were doing a flamenco dance.
39:24Castanets.
39:25Castanets.
39:25Of course, and a fisherman would cast a net.
39:28If you split it into three, you get castanets.
39:29Oh, yeah, I love that.
39:31Castanets is the right answer.
39:32A very good one.
39:32Very good.
39:33And you were right to just save your brain there, Sarah, frankly.
39:36Listen, Joel and Sarah, what a funny and fun game you've had.
39:40Fake it till you make it, isn't it?
39:42Bluff our way through.
39:43In one way or another, we get where we need to go.
39:45And it's totally worked today, hasn't it?
39:48Because you're now in the final.
39:50Your prize pot stands at £2,600.
39:54So, what would that money go on if you managed to take it home today?
39:58We've got seven children between us,
40:00so being able to take them on a holiday would be absolutely amazing.
40:05We've got somewhere in mind as well.
40:06My eldest has just started work at Euro Disney.
40:09Doing what?
40:10One of the characters.
40:11In the parade?
40:13Yes, he'll be in the parade.
40:14That's so exciting.
40:15I know.
40:16Can you tell us which character?
40:17No, sworn to secrecy.
40:18Everything's top secret.
40:19Isn't that extraordinary?
40:21That is amazing, yeah.
40:21Oh, it's magical.
40:22Well, I really hope this works out for you.
40:24So, as you know, to take home that money,
40:26you have to face Henry's riddle run.
40:28Henry, what exactly is your riddle run?
40:31So, in the riddle run, you're going to be facing puzzles
40:33in which words are represented by combinations of pictures and letters.
40:37They're often known as rebus riddles,
40:38and the answers are phrases or sayings
40:40or a combination of words that are familiar to all.
40:43So, Joel and Sarah, the rules are simple.
40:45There are ten riddles in all,
40:48and you need six correct in 60 seconds
40:51to take home the money that you've built up so far.
40:54If you're not sure about a particular riddle,
40:57say pass and then come back to it.
40:59And that's not all.
41:00If you do answer six correctly,
41:03you'll have the chance to double your winnings
41:05and take home £5,200.
41:08And don't worry, if it all goes wrong,
41:10you'll still go home with our collectible teacup and saucer.
41:14First, though, you've got to face Henry's riddle run.
41:18Are you ready?
41:20Yes.
41:21Good luck. Henry, over to you.
41:23Your 60 seconds will start as soon as the first riddle is revealed.
41:26Good luck.
41:27Let's play.
41:30Phones in a head.
41:33Telephone head.
41:34Phone book.
41:36Pass.
41:39Hot question.
41:40One hot question.
41:42Hot topic.
41:42Burning question.
41:44Correct.
41:44Yes.
41:46Violinist on the roof.
41:48Fiddler on the roof.
41:49Correct.
41:50Open goal.
41:52Correct.
41:55Cuss an arm and a leg.
41:57Correct.
41:59Whale backwards.
42:01Humpback whale.
42:03Correct.
42:07Key lime pie.
42:08Correct.
42:12Wow.
42:14That was brilliant.
42:15Are you okay, Saras?
42:16Thanks, Joel.
42:18Just go to your holiday.
42:19That was great.
42:20I mean, true to form, you seemed unsure about all of them throughout.
42:22Yes.
42:23But you got them right.
42:24Well done.
42:25Fantastic work.
42:26Well done.
42:27You've got six riddles correct.
42:28And you've just won £2,600.
42:31Isn't that lovely?
42:32Thank you so much.
42:32That's amazing.
42:33Absolutely brilliant.
42:35Right.
42:35So, should we explain how you got those right?
42:38Please.
42:39Which is the theme of the show so far.
42:41So, let's stick with it.
42:43Now, I was a little bit nervous at the beginning because you took a little bit of time on that
42:45First one, you said almost everything but the correct answer.
42:49Obviously, we've got phones and a head, so therefore it would be head.
42:51Phones.
42:52Headphones.
42:53Yeah, headphones.
42:54You got this one right.
42:55Burning question.
42:56Absolutely.
42:56On fire.
42:57Question mark on fire.
42:58This one, Fiddler on the Roof, of course, not Violinist on the Roof, the well-known musical.
43:01Very quick on this one.
43:02Of course, Open Door at the End of Goal, so it's Open Goal.
43:05Yep.
43:05I like this one.
43:07Costs an arm and a leg.
43:08Yeah.
43:09Price tag with an arm and a leg.
43:11I like this one very much indeed.
43:13This is Humpback Whale.
43:14You said it.
43:15I'm not sure if you...
43:16Yeah, yeah.
43:17So, yeah, whale backwards.
43:18That's the back part.
43:19There's a hump in it as well, so it's Humpback Whale.
43:21Yeah, great one.
43:22And then this final one as well.
43:24Yeah, it's key and pie is lime green, so it's key lime pie.
43:29Well done, Joel and Sara.
43:31You've done really well and you've managed to win £2,600.
43:35And if that is enough for you, then we're delighted.
43:38And you can finish the game and you can leave with that money.
43:40Or you can choose to face one last riddle.
43:44This time you'll have just 20 seconds to give an answer.
43:48Get it right and you will double your winnings and take away £5,200.
43:56But if you can't find the right answer in that time,
43:59then you'll lose everything and you'll leave with nothing apart from, of course,
44:03our teacup and saucer.
44:05So, what would you like to do?
44:06I think we've smashed it all the way through.
44:07It's easy, so I would just do it, breeze through.
44:11My heart cannot take this anymore.
44:12I'm kidding.
44:12There's absolutely no way I want to go and try and double my money.
44:16I think we've just scraped through by the skin of our teeth
44:19and we're absolutely over the moon with £2,000 as a lot of money.
44:22Yeah.
44:23Amazing.
44:24Well, congratulations, Joel and Sarah.
44:26You're walking away with £2,600.
44:31But, just for fun, shall we see what it would have been, Henry?
44:35Oh, yeah, we've got to have a quick look.
44:36So, you would have had, had you chosen to play,
44:3820 seconds to come up with the answer to this.
44:46What do you think?
44:49Easy on the eye.
44:53Easy peasy.
44:54I don't know.
44:58It does spell easy, doesn't it?
45:00That would have been your 20 seconds up.
45:02Certainly wasn't easy peasy,
45:04and easy peasy is not the right answer, I'm afraid.
45:06It is two words meshed together that you're looking at here.
45:10Nose, pay nose.
45:12Pay through the nose.
45:13Through the nose.
45:14Yeah, through the nose, of course.
45:15Yeah, so the word pay through the word nose.
45:17You've got the N of nose, then the P of pay,
45:20then the O of nose, and so on.
45:22Interconnected like that, pay through the nose.
45:24It's the right answer.
45:25Very good choice.
45:26Yeah.
45:26Well, Joel and Sarah, congratulations.
45:28We're absolutely delighted for you.
45:30You're walking away with £2,600.
45:32Enjoy it.
45:33Thank you so much.
45:33Thank you, we will.
45:34And thank you so much for joining us at home.
45:37We'll see you next time for more Ridiculous Riddles.
45:39APPLAUSE
