00:00MUSIC
00:17Welcome to Ridiculously, Ridiculously Clever Show,
00:21where three teams of riddle solvers take on our devious riddle master.
00:26Hello, Henry. Hi, Ranvier.
00:28Now, have you got any tips for today's teams?
00:31I think communication is always the key with these riddles.
00:33When you've got the riddle, really talking it through,
00:34taking it apart, because someone might say something
00:37and that might trigger something in someone else.
00:39That's the key, I think.
00:40Shall we practise a bit of that now before we get going?
00:43Why don't we try? Yeah.
00:44I'm giving away the ending with this sports car attachment.
00:48What am I?
00:49Giving away the ending. Right.
00:51OK, I'm going to muse on that one for now.
00:54Thank you so much, riddle master.
00:55But first, let's meet today's teams.
00:59Who's with us today?
01:00I'm Sam.
01:01This is my mum, Sue, and we're from Essex.
01:04I'm Susan.
01:05This is my sister, Theresa, and we're from Western Supermare.
01:08I'm Yusuf, and this is my housemate, Olly, and we're from Oxford.
01:11Welcome to the show.
01:12Now, I know you probably didn't expect to get going this early on in the show,
01:16but let's put you to the test.
01:17Go on, riddle master.
01:18I'm giving away the ending with this sports car attachment.
01:21What am I?
01:23Susan and Theresa, you look like you had an idea, yes?
01:25Spoiler.
01:26Spoiler is the right answer, yes.
01:27Of course, if you give away the ending, you spoil it,
01:29and you have a spoiler on a sports car.
01:31I love it.
01:32Good way to start the show.
01:33Thank you so much, Henry.
01:35Now, welcome one and all.
01:37Let me tell you how this is going to work.
01:39You're going to face a series of riddles from Henry,
01:41and in order to unlock each riddle,
01:44you'll first have to correctly answer three general knowledge questions.
01:48Now, in this first round, questions are worth £25.
01:53How much are your riddles worth?
01:54In this round, the riddles are worth £100 each,
01:56and they're the easiest you're going to face throughout the entire game,
01:59so it's important to get these ones right.
02:01Thank you, Henry.
02:02And we will be saying goodbye to one team at the end of this round,
02:07so every question is important.
02:10OK, if you're ready for some general knowledge, let's play.
02:17Which traditional pasta dish is often informally referred to as spag bol?
02:22Sam and Sue?
02:23Spaghetti bolognese.
02:24Correct.

02:31Moves Like Jagger was a UK top ten hit for which American band?
02:36Yusuf and Dolly?
02:38Mary Five.
02:38Correct.
02:39That's £25.
02:41Have you got matching shirts on?
02:43We do.
02:44This is the kind of dedication we like,
02:47right through to the fashion.
02:48Lovely.
02:50Macaws and African greys are what type of birds?
02:53Susan and Theresa?
02:55Parrots.
02:56Correct.
02:56Well, look at this.
02:58You're all up and running.
02:59Which constructed waterway connects the Mediterranean and the Red Sea?
03:04Susan and Theresa?
03:05Suez?
03:06The Suez Canal.
03:07Yes, correct.
03:08Correct.
03:09Which actor played the title character in Willow, Professor Flitwick in the Harry Potter films
03:15and a version of himself in Life's Too Short?
03:19Sam and Sue?

03:21Correct.
03:22The cities of Bern and Zurich are in which European country?
03:26Sam and Sue?
03:27Switzerland.
03:28Yes.
03:29You've unlocked your first riddle, Sam and Sue.
03:31Mother and son, welcome to the show.
03:33Thank you for having us.
03:34Tell us why you applied to be on the show.
03:36We're big fans of the show.
03:37We've been watching it since series one.
03:39And so we thought, why not chance our arm and apply?
03:41And didn't think we'd be here, but here we are.
03:43Oh, well, it's lovely to have you here.
03:45Sue, tell me a bit about your lovely boy.
03:46Yeah, he's my oldest son.
03:49We get on very well and we like to quiz.
03:52And so that's why we thought we'd come here today.
03:54OK.
03:55First riddle, please.
03:56Riddle Master.
03:57Here it comes, Sam and Sue.
03:57Good luck.
03:58A cocktail of this colourful fruit creates no rage.
04:02What is it?
04:04What are you thinking?
04:04A colourful fruit creates no rage.
04:07Thinking of a colourful fruit.
04:10No rage.
04:12Oh, orange.
04:13Because no rage is an anagram of...
04:14Orange.
04:15Yeah.
04:16Orange, Henry.
04:17Why, Sam?
04:18Because no rage is an anagram of orange.
04:22And it's colourful, so...
04:23It certainly is.
04:24And it is the right answer.
04:26Orange.
04:26Yeah.
04:27Make a cocktail of the colourful fruit,
04:28as in mix up the letters and you'll get no rage.
04:31Well done.
04:31I had gone down the literal route,
04:33which is the one thing you say never to do.
04:35I was going, what kind of calming fruit is there out there?
04:37No, I said the key was communication,
04:38but also the key is...
04:39Ridiculous.
04:40There's lots of keys, isn't there?
04:41There's lots of keys.
04:42Sam and Sue, you've got through your first riddle,
04:45and I can add £100 to your prize part.
04:48The name of what item of sporting equipment
04:51is used in fashion to describe a tapered tuck
04:55sewn into a garment to shape it?
04:58Sam and Sue?
04:59Pint up.
05:00Incorrect.
05:01The name of what item of sporting equipment?
05:05Susan and Theresa?
05:06Dart.
05:07Yes.
05:08Dart is correct.
05:09It's those little seams, isn't it, that you go down the top.
05:13On the London Underground map,
05:15the central line is represented by which primary colour?
05:17Sam and Sue?
05:18Red.
05:18Correct.

05:43I love Bridgerton.
05:47Which bovine animals provide the nickname of a rugby league team
05:51from Bradford and a basketball...
05:53Sam and Sue?
05:54Bulls.
05:55And a basketball team from Chicago?
05:57It is the Bulls.
05:59Quick on the buzzer, Sam and Sue.
06:01Right.
06:02You've got your next riddle.
06:03You did very well in solving the last one.
06:05See if you can get this one.
06:07I'm a chopper that isn't a sword but is often sword with blades.
06:12What am I?
06:14Yeah, so a chopper that isn't a sword is a helicopter.
06:18Has the nickname chopper.
06:19But sword is spelt differently as in in the air, so...
06:22Blades.
06:23Yeah.
06:24Helicopter.
06:25Helicopter.
06:26Yep.
06:27You beat me again.
06:28It's the right answer.
06:29Well done, yeah.
06:30A chopper is a helicopter, not a sword of course,
06:33and yet soaring into the air.
06:34Your preferred route into work, isn't it?
06:36You go, only come by helicopter.
06:37Only ever by helicopter.
06:38Only ever by helicopter.
06:40Riddle helicopter.
06:42Thank you so much, Henry.
06:43Well done, Sam and Sue.
06:44Another £100.
06:46But there's plenty more money left in this opening round,
06:49so keep playing hard.
06:50Here we go.
06:51What is the name of the main thoroughfare
06:54that runs from the castle
06:56to the Palace of Holyrood house in Edinburgh?
07:00Yusuf and Ollie.
07:01The Royal Mile.
07:02Correct.
07:03Which celebrity antiques dealer uses the catchphrase
07:07Cheapers...
07:07Sam and Sue?
07:09David Dickinson.
07:10What was the catchphrase?
07:11Cheapers chips.
07:12Cheapers chips.
07:13Actually, you got it right anyway.
07:14The answer was David Dickinson.
07:15I was just wondering if you knew the catchphrase.
07:17Cheapers chips.
07:19A card in the game Uno
07:22that features two arrows pointing in opposite directions...
07:26Yusuf and Ollie.
07:27Er, change direction.
07:29Incorrect.
07:30A card in the game Uno that features two arrows
07:33pointing in opposite directions
07:35shares its name with which gear on a car?
07:39Sam and Sue?
07:40Reverse.
07:40Yes.
07:41You probably knew that, did you, Yusuf and Ollie?
07:44Did.
07:44But you just...
07:44It was an interception too soon.
07:46Yeah.
07:46OK, here we go.
07:47Sam and Sue, one away from unlocking the third riddle of the round.
07:51Who released the albums Hypersonic Missiles and 17 Going Under?
07:58Sam and Sue?
07:59Sam Fender.
08:00Yes.
08:02Well, here we are.
08:04Could it be a hat trick?
08:06I'm absolutely certain that my glass half full outlook will be a big plus for the team.
08:11What am I?
08:12I'm thinking of synonyms for plus, so addition maybe.
08:17I'm absolutely certain that my glass half full outlook will be a big plus for the team.
08:23Big plus.
08:24A big addition.
08:25I'm absolutely certain that my glass half full outlook will be a big plus for the team.
08:31I can't think of what else that could mean.
08:33I'm absolutely certain that my glass half full outlook...
08:38Glass half full outlook will be...
08:39Oh, positive.
08:40Uh...
08:41Positive.
08:42Oh, yeah, because if it...
08:43Be a big plus.
08:44It's a positive.
08:45Yeah.
08:47Positive, Henry.
08:48You're locking in positive.
08:50Yes.
08:50Are you positive?
08:52She is.
08:52Hopefully.
08:53Sue, tell us why you think it's positive.
08:55Um, because positive is a synonym to a plus.
09:00So, if you're positive, it's half full rather than half empty, so it'd be positive.
09:07I'm positive.
09:08You've got it absolutely right.
09:09Positive, yeah.
09:09If you're certain of something, you're positive.
09:11If you're a glass half full person, you are positive.
09:13Plus I'm positive.
09:15Yeah, well done.
09:15That is a hat trick.
09:16That's another £100 to Sam and Sue.
09:18So, we're into our final riddle of this round.
09:21And as you know, the team with the lowest prize pot will be going home.
09:26Keep playing.
09:26Here we go.
09:27Good luck.
09:28What name is given to magma when it erupts from a volcano?
09:31Yusuf and Oli.
09:32Lava.
09:33Correct.
09:34Which 2008 novel has sequels titled Catching Fire and Mockingjay?
09:40Yusuf and Oli.
09:41The Hunger Games.
09:42Correct.
09:44Feels like under pressure you're coming through.
09:46So, Yusuf and Oli, for the first time, you're now just one correct answer away from facing the riddle master.
09:52What was the occupation of the title character in the classic TV drama Dixon of Dot Green?
09:58Sam and Sue.
10:00Police officer.
10:01Police officer is correct.
10:03What do the letters N-E represent in the beer term N-E-I-P-A?
10:13Yusuf and Oli.
10:14New England.
10:16Correct.
10:17Look at this, you see.
10:19See, this is what happens.
10:21Under pressure, sometimes people crumble and sometimes, Yusuf and Oli, you rise to the occasion.
10:25Which is what you have done.
10:26Welcome to the show properly.
10:28So, you're housemates.
10:29That's right, yeah.
10:30How long have you known each other?
10:32About a year.
10:32Yeah.
10:33About a year.
10:33Okay, so come on then.
10:34You've lived together for a year.
10:36Dish the dirt.
10:37There's no dirt to dish.
10:38That's not true.
10:40We're expensive.
10:41We're...
10:42No, we're pretty outgoing.
10:43Yeah?
10:44We've done a few trips.
10:45Oh yeah, what have you done?
10:46We just decided one night just to go to Bruges and then from there we went into Amsterdam
10:50and then from there we just decided to go to Jordan.
10:54But that was just...
10:54To Jordan?
10:55Yeah.
10:56Wow.
10:56So, Oli, this is like, it sounds like you're very spontaneous as a sort of pair of friends.
11:01Yeah.
11:01It just happened.
11:03Yeah, I don't really say no to much.
11:05You don't really say no to much?
11:06No either.
11:07And what do you both do for a living?
11:09So, I'm an aircraft engineer.
11:10Oh, fabulous.
11:11I work for a radio pharmaceutical company and we make radio tracers for processing
11:16state cancer diagnostics.
11:17Oh, fantastic.
11:19Two very clever young men here for you, Riddle Master.
11:22Do your worst.
11:23I will.
11:24Here we go.
11:24See if you can get it.
11:26When a ship heads out to sea, I'm left behind.
11:28And when the ship is at sea, I'm always left as well.
11:32What am I?
11:34Yeah.
11:34I'm pretty sure that's...
11:35Well, I'm going to guess port.
11:37That's what I think so far.
11:39Yeah.
11:39Yeah.
11:40But port means left.
11:43Obviously, I know that because it's the same on an aircraft.
11:46And you leave the port.
11:50And...
11:52Yeah, I mean, it just makes sense.
11:53To me, anyway.
11:54Do you agree?
11:55Yeah.
11:55Yeah, I agree.
11:55All right, sweet.
11:56Can we lock that in, then, please?
11:57Port.
11:58You're locking in.
11:58Port.
11:59Yeah.
11:59Well, you've certainly sailed out of a few ports on your world trip there.
12:03Port is the right answer.
12:04Yeah.
12:05Of course, the same on an aircraft.
12:06I didn't realize that it was the same on an aircraft.
12:08It is, yeah.
12:09Yeah, I didn't know that either.
12:10Of course, port is, yeah, on the left-hand side of a ship, starboard on the right.
12:13Yeah, port is the right answer.
12:15Well done.
12:15On the last riddle of that opening round.
12:18Well done, Yusuf and Ollie.
12:19That's another £100 added to your prize pot.
12:21So, teams, at the end of that round, Sam and Sue, you have £550.
12:28Yusuf and Ollie, you now have £225.
12:31And Susan and Teresa, you have £100.
12:34Oh.
12:35Which sadly means we'll be saying goodbye to the two gorgeous sisters.
12:40Tell us a bit about, you know, your friendship and your sort of sisterly love.
12:44Because you look very similar, and I know that you're very close, aren't you?
12:47Yes, we are.
12:48We're very close emotionally and physically.
12:51We live nearby.
12:52Aw.
12:52And Teresa's got a little dog, and I help look after a dog when she goes off playing the
12:57ukulele.
12:58Yes.
12:58Oh, my goodness.
12:59You're very active sisters.
13:01And, Teresa, have you enjoyed your time on Ridiculous, short as it was?
13:05I have, Ranveer.
13:07But, Henry, it's all gone wrong.
13:10LAUGHTER
13:12Very good.
13:13Thank you so much, Susan and Teresa.
13:16Nicely done.
13:17And that's it for part one.
13:20Now, Henry, how about another little riddle for the viewers to solve over the break?
13:24Which smart jacket top looks flaming hot?
13:27I'll give you the answer when we come back.
13:30APPLAUSE
13:40Welcome back.
13:41Now, before the break, Henry, you set us a riddle, and I think I might know it.
13:45You might know it?
13:45I might do.
13:46OK, very good.
13:46Yeah, I asked, which smart jacket top looks flaming hot?
13:50Which smart jacket top looks flaming hot?
13:53Go on, Henry.
13:54You're wearing it?
13:55I am.
13:56A blazer.
13:57A blazer is the right answer.
13:58Yeah, well done.
13:59You could have given me a round of applause.
14:01No, nothing.
14:02But, listen, sometimes I get them and mostly I don't.
14:05So I'm in awe of anybody who stands where you are to play the game properly.
14:10Now, Yusuf and Oli, you came alive when the pressure was on to stay in the game.
14:14Yeah, I think I was a little bit nervous when we first started, but then once we got into it,
14:18it was...
14:18Yes, and it all came down to that last riddle as to whether you were going to stay in or
14:22not.
14:23Yusuf, how much practising have you been doing for today?
14:26You know what? We practised yesterday quite a lot in the car.
14:29Oh.
14:31Not for months or anything, just yesterday.
14:33We watched the show quite a lot.
14:34Yeah.
14:35Yeah.
14:36We practised on the show.
14:37And now, usually teams who come on to Ridiculous are big pub quizzers.
14:41What about you guys?
14:43I've done quite a lot of pub quizzes, but I took Yusuf to his first pub quiz a couple of
14:47weeks ago.
14:48For his first one?
14:49My first one.
14:49Yeah.
14:50Yeah, it wasn't great.
14:51It wasn't great!
14:52How did you do?
14:53How did you get on?
14:54Upper middle, I reckon.
14:55But we had a teacher mark our answer sheet and she'd annotated it like she was marking a kid's...
15:01It's also like it takes the fun out of a pub quiz, doesn't it?
15:04I love that.
15:05I'll tell you what, it's pretty brave, Yusuf, to have done one pub quiz and then come on to face
15:08the Riddle Master.
15:09But good luck to both teams.
15:11So let me bring you up to date on your prize pots.
15:13Sam and Sue, you're ahead with £550.
15:16Yusuf and Ali, you've got £225.
15:19But now here in round two, the questions are worth £50.
15:23Once again, you need three correct to unlock a riddle.
15:26And the riddles have changed.
15:28Henry, would you care to explain?
15:29Yeah.
15:30So in this round, you're going to be facing visual riddles.
15:32So as you might expect, they involve pictures, but also numbers, shapes and words.
15:36They're a little trickier in this round, but if you can get them right, they're worth £200 each.
15:40Now, only one member of your team will be able to answer the riddle and you'll have just 60 seconds
15:46in which to get it right.
15:48Also in this round, if you get it wrong, the riddle will then be offered to the opposing team for
15:54a steal.
15:54So, plenty of gameplay and strategy involved in this game.
15:59Are you ready for more general knowledge?
16:01OK.
16:02Hands by the buzzers.
16:03Here we go.
16:03Let's play.
16:06The Damned United is a book about which football managers...
16:11Sam and Sue?
16:12Brian Clough.
16:12Correct.
16:13The Damned United is a book about which football manager's 44-day tenure at Leeds United in the 1970s.
16:20That's £50.
16:22In geometry, what name is given to a triangle in which all three sides are the same length?
16:27Yusuf and Ollie?
16:28Equilateral triangle.
16:29Correct.
16:30That's £50.
16:31I suppose you do a lot of that in your...
16:33A little bit.
16:34A little bit.
16:34Just remind us what you do.
16:35An aircraft engineer.
16:36An aircraft engineer.
16:38I bet you need to know all your angles, don't you?
16:39A few of them.
16:40A few of them.
16:40Very good.
16:41OK.
16:41Here we go.
16:43Which river in the USA flows for 2,340 Sam and Sue?
16:49Mississippi?
16:49Yes.
16:50Great interception.
16:52Which river in the USA flows for 2,340 miles from Lake Otasca in Minnesota down to the Gulf of
17:00Mexico?
17:01Sam and Sue, you're one correct answer away from unlocking the first visual riddle.

17:30Yeah, go ahead.
17:31Pictures, please.

17:36Sue, 60 seconds to give me a correct answer after I've finished reading the riddle.
17:40What do these things have in common?
17:42Your time starts now.
17:45What do these things have in common?
17:48So, you've got muscle, nail, hair, eye, calf.
17:54So, they're all parts of the body.
17:58You locking that in?
17:59I am.
18:00Please.
18:02Sue, it's the right answer.
18:03Well done.
18:03Very quick work.
18:04Calf, eye, muscle, nail, hair, all body parts.
18:09Well done.
18:09Good decision, wasn't it, for Sue to take that one on?
18:12Nicely done.
18:13£200 to Sam and Sue.
18:16Let's keep playing.

18:39What is the stage name of the New Zealand singer whose albums include melodrama and Solar Power?
18:47Sam and Sue.
18:49Sia.
18:50Incorrect.
18:51What is the stage name of the New Zealand singer whose...
18:55Yusuf and Ollie?
18:56Is it Lord?
18:57It is.
18:58Was that a guess?
19:00Sort of.
19:01I didn't know if she was from Australia or New Zealand, so...
19:03But you went for it and it paid off.
19:05Which part of the body is treated by a chiropodist or podiatrist?
19:10Sam and Sue.

19:19Numbers or shapes?
19:21Are you happy for me to do numbers?
19:22Yes, I am.
19:22Numbers it is.

19:24Good luck.
19:25Yeah, Sue got pictures very quickly.
19:27Let's see if you can do the same, Sam.
19:29You've got 60 seconds to give me a correct answer once I've finished reading the riddle.
19:33Which of these dice isn't correct?
19:35Your time starts now.
19:38Which of these dice isn't correct?
19:49I'm looking for one with the same number on two sides.
19:53There we go.
19:56So, that would be...
19:57So, C2 has two sixes on it, whereas every other dice, from what I can see, has one of each.
20:04So, I'm going to go with C2, final answer.
20:10C2, Sam.
20:11Yep.
20:12It's right.
20:13Well done.
20:14Two sixes on that one.
20:16Correct dice.
20:17Have a different number on each face.
20:18Well done.
20:18Sam and Sue.
20:20Quickly done.
20:20That's another £200.
20:22Yusuf and Ollie, did you spot it?
20:24Yeah.
20:25Yeah.
20:25You did spot it.
20:26No chance of a steal there, though.
20:28They're so quick.
20:28Yeah, very quick.
20:29Right.
20:30Okay, we have one more visual riddle left in this round.
20:33So, hands by the buzzers.
20:34The Olympic flag features five interlinked rings of red, blue, yellow, green, and which

21:34Correct.
21:36Here we are again.
21:37Could it be a hat trick, Henry?
21:39Let's take a look at the category available.
21:41Shapes.
21:42Who's going to do it?
21:44You want to go for shapes?
21:45I'm doing anyway.
21:46And we've got a clue to go as well.
21:48Yeah, we've got a clue.
21:49Okay.
21:49Sam, into the fray once again.
21:51Shapes it is.
21:52Sam.
21:53Can you complete the clean sweep of this round?
21:56Let's find out.
21:56Once again, 60 seconds to give me a correct answer after I've finished reading the Riddle.
22:00Which shape completes the second pattern?
22:03Your time starts now.
22:07Um, one, two, three, four, one, two, one, two, three, four, five, six.
22:13Um, right, okay.
22:16I'm, hmm, a bit stuck on this one.
22:20So, I'm gonna go, um, for a clue, Henry, if I may.
22:23Stop the clock.
22:25Some days it feels like it's just one thing on top of another.
22:28Start the clock.
22:31Clue is, some days it feels just like one thing on top of another.
22:36Some days it feels like it's just one thing on top of another.
22:40Hmm.
22:42Um, are they days of the week or, I think, an M plus T?
22:48No.
22:49Um, oh, I am struggling with this one.
22:53Um, I'm gonna...
22:57I'm gonna say...
22:59You've got ten seconds, lock something in.
23:02Okay, ten seconds.
23:03Um, I'm gonna say...
23:06I'm gonna say D.
23:08Final answer.
23:09D.
23:10Yes.
23:11It's wrong, Sam, I'm afraid.
23:13Okay.
23:13Yusuf and Ollie for a steal, what's your answer?
23:15E.
23:16E, Ollie, why?
23:18Uh, so if you move the Z over the N, it will create that shape that's E.
23:23Yeah, exactly.
23:24E.
23:24Well done.
23:25Uh, yeah, so it's about layering things on top of each other.
23:27That's what the clue was talking about.
23:28So you take the M shape and the T shape at the top.
23:30You put the two over the top of each other.
23:32Uh, that's what creates the, uh, blue shape on the right there.
23:35So you've got to complete the same, uh, pattern.
23:37You've got to do the same thing.
23:38Uh, layer the, uh, Z and the N over each other.
23:42And it gives you the full outside of the box with the two diagonal lines cross.
23:46The others don't work.
23:47Well done.
23:48Sam, you look furious.
23:50I'm annoyed with myself because I feel like that's one I just didn't see.
23:53But when you're watching at home, it's so much easier, isn't it?
23:55Well, it certainly is.
23:57Sue, step in.
23:58You might need a little hug from his mom after that one.
24:00No, you're wrong.
24:02Oh my goodness me.
24:04But the clue was, I thought the clue, I thought the clue might have given it away to you.
24:08Yeah, the clue was some days it feels like just one thing on top of another.
24:10One thing on top of another, yeah.
24:12You've got to put one thing on top of the other.
24:13You've got to put the first one on top of the second one, or it doesn't matter which way around,
24:16to give you that second image.
24:18Yes.
24:18And once you know what happened on the top line, you can work out what happened on the bottom line.
24:20Yeah, I thought the clue would have helped.
24:22It just sort of didn't.
24:23Yusuf and Ollie, did you need the clue?
24:25I got it just before the clue, but I can see where Sam was going with the days of the
24:29week because of the letters.
24:31Oh, mate, you don't have to.
24:33And then I was trying to figure it out.
24:35And so when, yeah, I got it just before the clue.
24:37You can sort of commiserate, can't you, when a fellow competitor is struggling with something and you see it.
24:42That's just the way with some of these riddles though, isn't it?
24:44Sometimes it pops out and sometimes you just can't get there.
24:47Great seal from Yusuf and Ollie there.
24:49Another £100 added to your prize park.
24:51And that was the final visual riddle of this round.
24:53So teams at the end of that round, Sam and Sue, you have £1,400.
24:58Yusuf and Ollie, you have £475.
25:00Now, that seems like a very big gap, doesn't it, to you right now?
25:03But let me promise you that in the next round, things change all the time.
25:07So stay focused.
25:08And it's time for another break.
25:10Henry, what have you got for us?
25:11See if you can figure this one out.
25:13With colourful clothes and oversized nose, I bring gags when the ring I enter, but I'm always low in the
25:19centre.
25:20What am I?
25:21I'll give you the answer when we come back.
25:34Welcome back to Ridiculous, the ridiculously clever and brain-teasing show.
25:39Now, before the break, what was that riddle, Henry?
25:41The riddle before the break was, with colourful clothes and oversized nose, I bring gags when the ring I enter,
25:48but I'm always low in the centre.
25:49What am I?
25:50Sam, Sue, Yusuf, Ollie, what do you think?
25:54Not a clue.
25:55Not a clue?
25:57Yeah, I'll be honest, I'm not sure on this one.
25:59Should have put in the first round.
26:01It doesn't bode well for this round, does it?
26:03No, no, no, no.
26:03Well, let's break it down.
26:05So who might wear colourful clothes and an oversized nose?
26:10A clown.
26:10A clown, yeah, a clown is the right answer.
26:13A clown enters a circus ring to make everyone laugh, of course, do gags.
26:17And, of course, low, you've literally got the word low in the middle of the words there.
26:21Clown is the right answer.
26:22It's a smart one.
26:24I liked it very much.
26:25Thank you so much, Henry.
26:26I wonder if you got that at home.
26:27Well done if you did.
26:29Now, teams, you're still working out that one, aren't you, the two of you, Yusuf and Ollie?
26:33Now, listen, let's take a look at your prize pots as they stand so far.
26:37So Yusuf and Ollie are on £475, and Sam and Sue are on £1,400.
26:43Now, that may look like an unassailable lead, but let me tell you this.
26:47It's where the competition gets serious right now, and that lead changes all the time.
26:52In this deciding round, the team with the highest prize pot at the end of it will be going through
26:58to the final to face Henry's riddle run.
27:00Now, I was saying about that gap can change because this time the questions from me are worth £100, and
27:07the riddles are much more valuable too.
27:09Certainly are.
27:10£300 if you get these riddles right, but of course they're the hardest ones you've faced so far in this,
27:15the deciding round.
27:17So you can see a couple of riddles here and there, and that lead can change.
27:21So, yes, hands by the buzzers.
27:24If you're ready, let's play.

32:16interested in having you play with us that's not true look colons sorry um yeah but you've
32:24also got a lot of punctuation it's the only reason we exist why you may have heard we're no longer
32:29interested in having you play with us that's not true in fact it's the only reason we exist the only
32:37reason punctuation exists is to explain well to to make sentences clearer um so what you think is
32:46punctuation i i don't know i don't see how that ties in with a play with us what's it play
