00:00Hello, I'm Jeremy Vine, and once again, out of the goodness of my own heart,
00:03I'm allowing two teams of celebrities into my studio
00:05to face a series of ever more perplexing puzzles.
00:09Can they solve them and become a puzzling champion?
00:12One thing is for sure, there's puzzles coming your way,
00:15because this is Celebrity Puzzling!
00:34Hello, welcome to Celebrity Puzzling.
00:36First, let's meet our two incredible team captains.
00:39Let's have the best of order, please, for our maths guru, Vorders, Carol Vorderman.
00:44No equation she can't solve.
00:46Facing off against her tonight, she's come a long way since Corrie,
00:50almost 200 miles as we film this in Cardiff.
00:53It's Sally Lindsay, who will join them tonight.
00:58Well, with Carol, it's a TV presenter who had a winning turn on Strictly
01:02that made me very jealous.
01:03He had quite a few turns, in fact.
01:04Just watching it made me dizzy.
01:06It's Ori Aduber!
01:09Joining Sally, a comedian who used to be a lawyer,
01:12so any objections she has tonight are sure to be overruled.
01:15Susan Kalman!
01:16Hello!
01:17Hello!
01:18Oh, this is going to be a lovely contest, I know.
01:21Ori, how nice to see you.
01:22You sort of emerged as a brilliant talent on Strictly.
01:25Dancing, and then singing as well.
01:28It's been ten years, but I just think back to then,
01:31remembering going, if in ten years' time I don't take a few big risks,
01:36I'll only regret it.
01:37So ten years hence, I'm fronting a brand new rock and roll concert this autumn.
01:42It's called Ori and the Vintage Boys.
01:45Oh, I like that!
01:47And you're going to do, what, the old songs and stuff?
01:49All the old songs, some Elvis in there.
01:51Oh, yeah.
01:52Will you have to do an Elvis impression?
01:54Well, you'll have to teach me it.
01:56Well, I can do that, sir, I really can.
02:01Susan, you're talking of tour, you're going back on tour.
02:03I am, yes.
02:04I'm going back on tour as a stand-up.
02:072016 was the last time I did any stand-up comedy,
02:10and for some reason I've decided I want to get back on stage again.
02:13Oh, that's brilliant.
02:14I think the thing is, I've got a real passion for storytelling.
02:17And stories from the days as a lawyer, or are they all dull?
02:20Dull.
02:21Are they really?
02:22That's the thing, when people watch lawyers on television,
02:25it's all, you're lying then and you're lying now!
02:29Actually, law is, quite frankly, administrative.
02:33All right, I'm sensing you're both tooled up here.
02:36OK, in each episode, our teams face a random selection of puzzles,
02:40hand-chosen to ensure no two contests are ever the same.
02:43Tonight, you'll face several rounds of fun and frequently frustrating puzzles
02:47in order to score as many points as possible.
02:49That's the key thing to hang on to with your brilliant legal brain.
02:52You do have to score points to win.
02:54It's an unusual...
02:55It's a little...
02:56It's a little twist on the usual game show format.
03:01You want a lead going into Answer Bank.
03:03Answer Bank, the final round, is stressful, and it can all change.
03:06And I, for some reason, always do that hand motion.
03:08For the winning celebrity guest, let me show you what's in store,
03:11because you'll get to go home with that.
03:16Are you joking?
03:17Look at that, Carol.
03:18It's an actual prize?
03:19Yes.
03:19How many combinations, permutations?
03:22Oh, hang on.
03:2343.
03:24You're ready for this?
03:25Yep.
03:27Quintillion permutations.
03:28I was going to see that, actually, before Carol said that.
03:3043 with it.
03:31Carol sat there the whole of the first week we were doing this show,
03:34and she counted them up herself.
03:37I tell you what, it's changed the game.
03:39Yeah, it's a game changer.
03:40As soon as I knew that was up for grabs, I mean, it changes the game.
03:43It does change everything.
03:44And it isn't far away, it is that small.
03:47No, it's...
03:47Yeah.
03:48Right.
03:49Without further ado, time to find out the identity of round one.
03:52Let's get puzzling.
03:53This first round will test how good you are at deciphering codes.
03:56It's called Cipher.
03:59Can we show you an example?
04:01I'll give you a category clue,
04:02and then I'll show you the puzzle you have to solve,
04:04which is concealed by this code of symbols.
04:06So, Robert De Niro film.
04:08Ooh, I say.
04:10Look at the doubles.
04:11Look at the double letters.
04:13Could I have a letter, please?
04:14Well, now, Carol's helped me here,
04:16because she's helping with this example.
04:17Let's say you were stumped,
04:18and you say, I can't do it.
04:20I can say, OK, it was worth three points,
04:22now it's worth two.
04:23Got it.
04:23And I show you a letter,
04:24and the letter is...
04:25Oh, that's helpful.
04:26So it's something...
04:27Yeah.
04:27Oh, oh.
04:27We still don't know, but we probably do.
04:29Pretend we don't know.
04:30Yeah, we don't know.
04:30And you asked for another letter.
04:32Another letter, yeah.
04:33So, let's have another one.
04:34Now it would be worth one point.
04:35Oh, there we are.
04:36Right.
04:36Go on.
04:37And Susan and Oré...
04:38Yeah.
04:38We'd say...
04:40Goodfellas.
04:40Goodfellas.
04:41Yes, I think that's right.
04:43Sally and Susan, if you're ready to play,
04:45here's your first cipher.
04:46So you're playing as teams here.
04:48OK.
04:48So it's one word, and it's soap.
04:50OK.
04:54Oh, hang on.
04:54I think I know this.
04:55Yeah, I think...
04:56Do you know what it is?
04:57Do you want to have a go?
04:57What?
04:57Is it...
04:58Is it a Hollyoaks?
04:59Or Brookside.
05:01Yes, it could be.
05:02So we've got to work that out.
05:03But then you've got O there.
05:05Yes.
05:06And that would O there would work.
05:07Oh, OK.
05:08So it can't be.
05:09So Hollyoaks.
05:10So Hollyoaks is an O.
05:12O.
05:12So it's Hollyoaks.
05:13I think it's Hollyoaks, yeah.
05:15Well, this is for three points.
05:16It would be a very good start for you.
05:17Let's see.
05:18Is it Hollyoaks?
05:19It is.
05:20Well done.
05:20Very well done.
05:21They've got it without having any revealed.
05:24I know.
05:24The challenge is thrown down.
05:25And we went through exactly the same.
05:27Did you whispered conversation?
05:29Or I said Hollyoaks.
05:30So I went, no, I think it's Brookside.
05:32OK.
05:33The first one for Carol and Oray.
05:35Here we go.
05:37A jewelled item.
05:38And you've got seven letters and then three.
05:42Jewelled item.
05:43Ah, I think I might have...
05:45How do you do this?
05:46So it's two words.
05:48Yeah.
05:49So that sort of star-like...
05:51The asterisk kind of nice.
05:52Yes.
05:53If that were a G...
05:56Egg.
05:56Egg.
05:57And what are the famous jewelled eggs?
06:01Fabergé eggs.
06:02Fabergé eggs.
06:03Yeah.
06:04Fabergé eggs, says Carol.
06:06Are you right?
06:09Well done, Ruth.
06:10That is brilliant.
06:11Three Es.
06:12Three Gs.
06:14These next ones might be a little tougher to crack, Sally and Susan.
06:17OK.
06:17Here's yours.
06:19OK.
06:20Four letters, four letters, beauty, treatment.
06:23OK.
06:24OK, so I'm thinking the first thing you'd think about would be face pack, but it can't be.
06:32No, it can't be because of the two ones at the end.
06:33Those two, so beauty, so is it face?
06:36It can't be face mask.
06:38Mask.
06:38So what?
06:39So foot something?
06:41Oh, OK.
06:41Foot.
06:42Foot.
06:43What else is four letters that can be?
06:45Face, foot, back.
06:48They're all in P's.
06:50It's the second one that's the tricky one, isn't it?
06:52Is it pack, eye, mask, face?
06:55Right, can we have a letter, please?
06:57Yes, of course you can.
06:58Let's have a letter.
07:00Ah, right.
07:01So they both end in I.
07:04Mani-pedi.
07:05Mani-pedi.
07:05Is that a thing?
07:07I think so.
07:07But I've never had one.
07:08I've never had one.
07:09But I've heard ladies on the train talking about it.
07:14I would say mani-pedi.
07:15It was absolutely marvellous.
07:16Thanks very much.
07:18The only thing I can think of that's great now.
07:19I'm going to go for it, Carmen.
07:20OK.
07:21Mani-pedi.
07:24Well done.
07:27I'm not being funny.
07:28We are the least likely women to know that exists.
07:30You've got it right.
07:31That's brilliant.
07:32Over to Carol and Ore for your next cipher.
07:34Here we go.
07:36So three letters and then ten.
07:38Action film.
07:39Action film.
07:40Action.
07:41OK.
07:41So obviously the infinity sign.
07:43Mm-hmm.
07:44The curve.
07:45Yeah.
07:45The on its side eight.
07:47I mean, if it's a...
07:49It feels like the would be a good place to say.
07:52Yeah.
07:52So if it was a the...
07:54Right.
07:55That could be a...
07:56Sir.
07:57So then the plus sign is an E.
07:59Yeah.
08:00So that means we have T-E.
08:04Terminator.
08:05Do you think?
08:06I think so.
08:06Does that check out?
08:07Totally checks out.
08:09With the other T at the end.
08:10With the T at the other end.
08:11Come on.
08:12Hey.
08:13Shall we?
08:14Over to you, sir.
08:16The Terminator.
08:17The Terminator, he says.
08:20Is it right?
08:21Yeah.
08:24Made by who wrote and directed that?
08:27I know who starred in it.
08:29Go on.
08:31As a young man.
08:33Titanic.
08:34Yes.
08:35Cameron.
08:35James Cameron.
08:36Yes.
08:37And that's how good he is.
08:38Yeah.
08:39Because then he does Terminator 2 and it's just as good.
08:41Well done.
08:42The level might get a bit harder now for your final ones.
08:45Sally, Susan, here we go.
08:48Five letters and then nine.
08:50Children's author.
08:52So let's think of children's authors and see if they fit.
08:54So we've got not rolled.
08:58No, it can't because those.
09:00Is it rolled up?
09:01No, it can't be.
09:03Julia Donaldson.
09:05Oh, I'm done.
09:07J-U-L-E-R.
09:09It is.
09:09I think it is.
09:11Donaldson.
09:11Yeah.
09:12Is it?
09:12I think it is.
09:14Gruffalo.
09:14The Gruffalo, yeah.
09:16It's, honestly, I swear down, Sally Lindsay.
09:19You're a stone-cold genius.
09:21That's what I mean.
09:21She sees things, no one else sees.
09:23She has got her eye in at the moment.
09:25There's no doubt.
09:26Julia Donaldson.
09:27Is it Julia Donaldson?
09:31The final cypher to solve for Carol and Oray, your last one.
09:38So, six letters, then five.
09:39Disc jockey.
09:40Oh, we like these.
09:42Disc jockey.
09:42Disc jockey.
09:43It's probably in the 70s or 80s.
09:45We're talking like Tony Blackburn era, probably.
09:48What's that with the three bowling balls the same?
09:54So, it's a person.
09:57Yeah.
09:59Same letter as the start as the end.
10:01You've got three the same in the second word.
10:04Yeah.
10:05I know this.
10:06You figured it out?
10:07I know this.
10:08You'll be very cheeky.
10:10Oh.
10:11I don't know who it is.
10:12I'm very fond of him.
10:13Oh.
10:14Well, it's not me.
10:15Bowling balls, that's the letter O.
10:18Oh.
10:19He's very fond of you.
10:20Yay.
10:21Yes.
10:22It is.
10:24Melvin.
10:25Oh.
10:27Of course, it's Melvin Adoom.
10:32Yay.
10:33Thank you, Melvin, for three points.
10:36So, let's look at the scores.
10:37Early days, but Sally, Susan on eight.
10:40Carol and Oray just ahead.
10:42Nine points.
10:45In a moment, it'll be time to ask our teams to move across the studio to play our famous
10:50Letterboxx.
10:51Yes, it is famous.
10:52They will face another one of our perplexing puzzles.
10:54This time, they can play without the pressure of facing their opponents.
10:57Going first, Sally and Susan, the game you're playing tonight is called Initial Reaction.
11:04So, this can be very, very easy or very, very hard.
11:08You see a series of pictures.
11:10I'll give you an example.
11:11Secret Communication, you're looking for the initials to each picture that spells out
11:17a word.
11:17It's quite easy, Sarah.
11:18So, C for crossword.
11:19We know this one, don't we?
11:20O for olive.
11:21O for olive.
11:22D for something.
11:23Dragon.
11:23F.
11:24And E for somebody.
11:25Emma.
11:25Emma.
11:25Emma Watson.
11:27Code.
11:28Yeah.
11:29They're not always that easy, are they?
11:30No, they certainly are.
11:31You're against the clock.
11:32You'll score three points if you solve the puzzle.
11:35You'll have one full alphabet to play with.
11:36So, Sally and Susan head over to the letterbox to play.
11:39Initial Reaction.
11:43Don't forget to hit the button when you've given your answer.
11:45Sally and Susan, here's your first puzzle.
11:47Your time starts now.
11:50Painful Condition.
11:51No idea what that is.
11:52That's an emu.
11:54Emu.
11:54And that is someone.
11:56And that's a thinker.
11:57So, the thinker.
11:58So, it's a T.
11:59The thinker.
12:00So, who's this?
12:00Is that a fig?
12:01Is that a fig?
12:02Okay.
12:03Maybe.
12:04So, painful.
12:05That's Uma Thurman, isn't it?
12:07Uma.
12:07So, that's not.
12:08Uma Thurman.
12:09Uma.
12:09Uma.
12:10Painful Condition.
12:10I don't think it is Uma.
12:11No, it's not.
12:12Thinker.
12:12Is that a statue?
12:14Is that?
12:14So, it's emu.
12:15Is that an ostrich?
12:17Oh, it could be an ostrich.
12:17It could be an ostrich.
12:19So, what's it?
12:20Painful Condition.
12:21Painful Condition.
12:23So, is that definitely a fig?
12:24I don't think it is.
12:26What's that?
12:27Gout.
12:27Gout.
12:29Gout.
12:30Yes!
12:31That was well done.
12:33And well spotted.
12:34That's not an Uma Thurman angle, I recognise.
12:37I got Uma right.
12:37I apologise to all of the ostriches watching.
12:43This is guava.
12:44Guava!
12:46So, that's the thinker, right?
12:48Well done.
12:49Painful Condition, gal.
12:50Your second puzzle will have five letters to find.
12:53It's worth four points this time.
12:54Here it is.
12:54Your time starts now.
12:57Sheep.
12:58Is that Tinkerbell?
12:59Okay.
13:00It's the Vartos.
13:01No, I don't know what that is.
13:01That's Operation, isn't it?
13:03Operation.
13:04That's a kettle, isn't it?
13:05A kettle.
13:06So, sheep.
13:07That is Lin-Manuel Garcia.
13:10Who?
13:11Hamilton.
13:12What's his first name?
13:13Elle.
13:13Elle.
13:14Oh, so that can't be fairy.
13:16You're good, Susan.
13:17Maybe that's Feeney instead of Tinkerbell.
13:19Oh, I'm good.
13:19Maybe it's just Feeney.
13:21So, that means...
13:21Fock.
13:22Fock.
13:22Fock.
13:23Well done, mate.
13:23Well, let's just see for car, then.
13:25Here you go.
13:26Well done.
13:27Well pressed.
13:29Fairy.
13:30You were too specific on Tinkerbell.
13:31I know.
13:31That was a great answer.
13:33Lin-Manuel Miranda did Hamilton.
13:34That's the main thing he's known for.
13:36And he obviously just locked himself in a room for two years and came out with this thing
13:39that was incredible.
13:40Operation, then car, then kettle.
13:42Flock is the word.
13:43Sheet was the clue.
13:43Well done.
13:44Look at that.
13:45It's working well now.
13:47It's getting a bit harder, isn't it?
13:48The two of you just syncing up.
13:50Okay, final puzzle.
13:51Sympatico.
13:52Sympatico.
13:52Me and Sally Lindsay.
13:54Sympatico.
13:55Your final puzzle has six letters to find.
13:57It's getting harder.
13:58It's worth a bump of five points.
14:00If you're ready, your time starts now.
14:02The words Star Trek.
14:06So, that's a door, I think.
14:08That's Anne Hathaway.
14:09Right.
14:10Anne Hathaway.
14:11Is that a cranberry?
14:14That's an iceberg.
14:15They're correct.
14:15It's an iceberg.
14:16Do you think?
14:17Yeah, so that's not a platypus.
14:19Is that a platypus?
14:19I think that's a platypus, yes.
14:21Is it a platypus?
14:24It's Picard.
14:25Picard.
14:25Jean-Luc Picard.
14:26Well, why is that?
14:29Jean-Luc Picard, I'm sure.
14:31Comfort?
14:31Picard?
14:32Jean-Luc Picard.
14:33A red current, yeah.
14:35What's that then?
14:35Well, well-played.
14:37So, we see platypus.
14:39Yeah, couch.
14:40Iceberg.
14:40It is Anne Hathaway.
14:42Yeah, that looks like a...
14:42So, then you've got...
14:44Red current.
14:44Anne's current and door.
14:46Door, door.
14:46Picard.
14:47All right.
14:47Poor old platypus.
14:48I'm so embarrassed.
14:49I thought it was an otter because I was looking at this bit.
14:51And then I saw his little beak and I went, no, no, no, that's...
14:53I like that.
14:53I very much like the way you quizzed that.
14:55It was really, really good.
14:56And it was, if I may say so, immaculate in scoring terms.
14:58So, how did you get on at home?
15:00Did you beat them to those rather magnificent conclusions, including Picard?
15:04I missed Captain Kirk.
15:05For sure.
15:06Well, he's gone to space himself.
15:07I'd actually refuse to put Picard down.
15:09I would put Kirk down.
15:10Oh, would you purest?
15:10There's only one captain.
15:11Good effort, Sally and Susan, your trip to the letterbox has scored you the maximum.
15:1512.
15:16This is a very high scoring game.
15:18We've got very, very big brains here today.
15:20Carol and Ore, are you feeling confident?
15:22Ore?
15:22Oh, yeah.
15:23It's a good round.
15:24That was, that was an exemplary.
15:26I like this one.
15:26It's a good round, yeah.
15:28Okay, Carol and Ore might be keen to have a crack at this next puzzle, but this is my house.
15:32And while they live under my rope, you've got to follow my rope.
15:36So, that just means it's time for a break.
15:39We'll see you in a few minutes.
15:43If you want to keep puzzling, see if you can complete the vertical word to solve this hurdle.
15:50Get puzzling.
16:01Have you completed the Missy word and solved this hurdle?
16:06If you did, great puzzling.
16:11Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling.
16:13We have Carol and Ore here, Sally and Susan, locked with them in a momentous puzzle-off.
16:18And I'm trying to keep my head down until it all blows over.
16:21So, it's Carol and Ore's turn.
16:24Here we are at the letterbox.
16:25They're playing Initial Reaction.
16:26Remember, you've got to see four pictures first, and your job is to work out what they are
16:30and then take the initials from each word to spell the answer.
16:32You'll score three points if you solve the first puzzle.
16:35You're against the clock.
16:36There is a clue.
16:37Here we go.
16:38Your time starts now.
16:40The clue is Job.
16:42We've got a crocodile or an alligator.
16:44Hillary.
16:44I'm just saying foot.
16:47That is a crocodile.
16:48That's an edam.
16:50Is it an edam?
16:51Edam.
16:51You've got an H for Hillary.
16:54Chef!
16:55There we go.
16:55Oh, there we go.
16:56Right on, Carol.
16:58You got it.
17:00It could have been an alligator.
17:02How do you know it's not an alligator?
17:03That's the thing.
17:04Somebody probably knows it's an alligator.
17:05That's all I'd say.
17:06Oh, really?
17:06Your second puzzle will have five letters to find.
17:09It's worth four points now.
17:11Your time starts now.
17:12OK.
17:14Country.
17:14Right.
17:15Now, that's gold or a nugget.
17:17This looks like steeplechase.
17:19Yep.
17:20Pineapple.
17:20It's not a pineapple.
17:21Abacus.
17:23Abacus.
17:23That's a nugget.
17:25I don't know who he is, but his name begins with I.
17:29Ice.
17:30That's not ice.
17:32Spain!
17:34But we don't know who that is.
17:35No idea.
17:36You know I'm allowed to ask you about the identity of anyone in the round,
17:41and if you can't get it, you lose all the points you've got.
17:43No, you lose.
17:44All the points you've got in the contest so far.
17:45You just made that roll up.
17:46I made that roll up.
17:47No, it's not a roll back.
17:49Ice tea.
17:50Ice tea.
17:50Of course it's ice tea.
17:51Your final puzzle has six initial letters to find to create a word.
17:54It can't go astray.
17:55We know this, don't we?
17:56Oh, don't we just?
17:57It's worth a bump of five points.
17:58If you're ready, your time starts now.
18:01OK.
18:02Sports person.
18:03Sports person.
18:04Ah, OK.
18:05So that's wool.
18:05That's there.
18:08That could be a worm, so it can't be a W.
18:10Yeah.
18:11That's...
18:12Earthworm.
18:13That is Chris Evans.
18:16Not the ginger-headed one.
18:18Not the ginger-dj.
18:19That's a kennel.
18:20And, uh, definitely a jacket for potato.
18:24Potato.
18:24You've got the P or a J.
18:27Just put potato first.
18:28You think?
18:29Yeah.
18:30Aranet or oboe?
18:32Oboe.
18:32Oboe, so pock at Nuts Rock.
18:35Or, what did you say?
18:37Ten seconds.
18:37I was going to say J for jacket.
18:39Jacket.
18:40Oh, put the O in.
18:42Put the O in.
18:43What's that?
18:45Jockey.
18:45Oh, the clock was...
18:48I know you know it.
18:49You know it.
18:50It's yarn.
18:52J for jacket potato.
18:54Well done.
18:54O for oboe.
18:55So close.
18:56Chris Evans.
18:57Kennel.
18:59Earthworm.
18:59And then that one there is yarn.
19:01Mmm.
19:02Jockey.
19:02Anyway, head back to your seats.
19:04We'll find out what the scores are.
19:09How many points did you rack up at home?
19:11Well done, Carol and Ore.
19:12Your visit to the letterbox scored you seven.
19:14Let's see what that's done to the overall scores.
19:17Carol and Ore, you have 16.
19:19Sally and Susan on 20.
19:22Oh!
19:25Just the length of a jockey between you.
19:28Your two teams.
19:30Our next puzzle really stretches one's vocabulary to its very limits.
19:34We're going to play in other words.
19:37So let me explain.
19:38I'll show you the initials to the answer and written inside each initial.
19:41You'll see synonyms for that word.
19:43From these synonyms, you must work out what the letters stand for.
19:47BP is our example.
19:48Allure, loveliness, stunner, spectacle parade presentation.
19:53So it's a sort of association here.
19:55Be...
19:56Beautiful.
19:57Beauty.
19:57I think it's beauty, actually.
19:59Oh, yeah.
20:00Beauty.
20:00Pageant.
20:01Pageant.
20:02Oh, no, beauty pageant.
20:04Is it beauty pageant?
20:05Yes.
20:06Well, thank you.
20:07Carolyn Hoy.
20:08I'll let you start.
20:09OK, here's your first in other words puzzle.
20:11It's worth one point.
20:13Slack.
20:13Flexible.
20:15Approximate.
20:15Fluctuate.
20:16Currency.
20:17Alteration.
20:17Yeah.
20:21Loose.
20:23Currency.
20:24I think it's change.
20:25So fluctuate would be change.
20:27Alteration would be to change.
20:29Yeah.
20:29Sounds good to me.
20:30Sounds good to us.
20:32Loose change, please.
20:32Loose change, they say.
20:35Right answer.
20:36Well done.
20:37Over we go to Sally and Susan for their first.
20:40Two letters, please.
20:42KB.
20:44Curled.
20:44Saucy.
20:45Frizzy.
20:46Kicks.
20:46Trunks.
20:47Throws.
20:48Oh, yeah.
20:48Yeah, you've got that one.
20:49Is it?
20:50So the first one would be...
20:53Kinky.
20:53Kinky.
20:54I can't believe I just said that.
20:57Kinky.
20:57And then it would have been boots.
20:58Boots.
20:59Kinky boots.
20:59Kinky boots.
21:00Throws.
21:01Oh, kicks.
21:02Yeah.
21:03Kinky boots.
21:04Kinky boots, they say.
21:06Yes.
21:08Sorry, throws was thrown me.
21:11Throws was thrown me.
21:12Boots.
21:13Wasn't he booted off the bus?
21:15Yeah.
21:15He was thrown off the bus.
21:17Oh, right.
21:17Sorry.
21:18Carol and Ore, you'll get fewer synonyms this time.
21:21It's worth two points.
21:22Here's yours.
21:22Two letters, please.
21:24S-L.
21:25S-L.
21:26And you've got nevertheless tranquil, vigour, existence.
21:31Vigour, existence, existence, vigour.
21:34Life.
21:35Something vigour.
21:37You have life in you.
21:39Existence is life.
21:40So something beginning with S.
21:43Something life.
21:45Tranquil and nevertheless.
21:48Sweet life.
21:49Tranquil, I would have gone silent.
21:51So, no, tranquil is calm, silent, silence.
21:59Vigour.
22:00Vigour in existence.
22:02What are you going for?
22:05S-Life.
22:06S-Life?
22:08S-Life.
22:09So what life?
22:10That's got me stumped, that has.
22:11I can only think of silent for tranquil.
22:14Oh, we might need an answer.
22:15In spite of.
22:16Spite, something.
22:19Vigour.
22:21We're going with, so what life?
22:25So what life?
22:28I do shout that a lot.
22:30It is not the answer.
22:32So Susan and Sally.
22:33I'm not entirely sure.
22:34The only thing I can think of with tranquil would be in painting, sometimes someone would paint a still life.
22:40Okay, yes, let's see if it's right.
22:42Still life.
22:44There we go.
22:46Sally and Susan for two points.
22:50S-S.
22:51Okay.
22:52Perform, chapter, tutor, academy.
22:56Okay, so tutor, academy, school.
23:00That would be school.
23:01But form, what's that?
23:02Speed.
23:04Chapter, perform.
23:06When I watch this at home, the thing that always gets me is there's always one word.
23:10Yeah.
23:10You think you've got it.
23:12I do think it's possibly because a chapter can be considered a, in a book would be a different, or
23:21a different stage in life is a different chapter in your life.
23:23Of course, I think it's stage school.
23:24Stage school, yep.
23:26Okay, so is it stage school?
23:28Well done.
23:29Yes, it is.
23:30Well done.
23:30So Carol and I, just one synonym per word.
23:33The trickiest, yes.
23:34You're doing everything so well, all right.
23:35Three points.
23:36You are.
23:36You're puzzling well, you two.
23:37Let's see how we go here.
23:39No matter what the score says.
23:40AI, it can't mean artificial intelligence.
23:44No, all.
23:45Everything fashionable.
23:46Everything.
23:47All.
23:49Fashionable.
23:50In.
23:52All in.
23:52Yeah.
23:53All in.
23:53Yes, very good.
23:56In.
23:56Yes.
23:57That's what we're going with.
23:59All in.
24:00We're all in.
24:01Yeah.
24:02Well done.
24:03Very well done.
24:04I would not have got that in.
24:06That required a lot of lateral, adjacent, adjacent thinking.
24:12Sally and Susan, here's your last.
24:16HM, sexy shambles.
24:19So.
24:20Okay.
24:21Yeah.
24:21So, sexy, what the children say nowadays, do you?
24:25We used to say, well fit, didn't we?
24:27And they say, hot.
24:28Obviously, we are not kids, but they're hot.
24:31And shambles is, um, a hot mess.
24:34Yeah, you've got, you've got, you've got, basically, if you look at Sally and I, you've got the answer.
24:39Yeah.
24:39Hot mess.
24:42He's the other way around.
24:44All right.
24:44Is it hot mess?
24:46Yeah, well done.
24:48How did you get on at home?
24:50How did you get on at home?
24:50Are you giving our celebrities a run for their money?
24:52At the end of that round, we have Carol and Ore on 20.
24:55Yeah.
24:55But Sally and Susan starting to pull ahead on 27.
25:01So, we're reaching into part two, and it seems highly likely we will be back for part three,
25:05unless the whole program is cancelled.
25:07So, we'll see you then.
25:11Why don't you have a go at home?
25:13Find the starting point to solve the clue and complete this around-the-block puzzle.
25:18Get puzzling.
25:30Have you solved this around-the-block brain teaser?
25:34If you did, great job.
25:39Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling.
25:41I'm Jeremy Vineland.
25:42Yes, this is the voice I'll be using.
25:45Carol and Sally are still battling it out with the help of celebrity comrades
25:49Ori Aduba and Susan Kalman.
25:51Now, we're going to put Ori and Susan to the test.
25:53It's time for the Celebrity Guest Puzzler Head-to-Head.
25:55That's the short name for it.
25:57And the game is Join the Dots.
25:59Okay.
26:00This is the part of the show where Carol and Sally can kick back, relax,
26:04and we say politely zip it, because we've had whispering in the past.
26:08So, the celebrity guests take the strain.
26:11Ori and Susan, on the screen, you're going to see a puzzle.
26:14Consisting of a category and a series of dots.
26:16So, I'll show you a comic book character.
26:18It's obviously not Tintin.
26:20There's got to be two words, at least.
26:21And the lines will join them.
26:23This is just an example.
26:24So, when you see the word appear, shout something.
26:29Incredible Hulk.
26:30Incredible Hulk, yeah.
26:31That was Incredible Hulk.
26:33Don't forget.
26:34You're buzzing in, and Carol can't help you, and Sally can't help you,
26:37and there's a reason I'm saying that.
26:39I know what's happened in the past.
26:41What?
26:41Let's hear this.
26:42This is the English face.
26:44I know.
26:44What?
26:46Okay.
26:47Lies.
26:47Did you get that, or are you now in an incredible sulk?
26:50The first player to buzz in and give the correct answer will score two.
26:53If a player buzzes in correctly, this is important, we freeze it,
26:57and then the other player can have a good look at it and steal.
27:00Okay.
27:00So, be quick but be right.
27:02You've seen how it works.
27:03Five to come.
27:04Fingers on buzzers.
27:05Ori and Susan.
27:06Here's your first.
27:08UK city.
27:09One word.
27:14Ori.
27:15Birmingham.
27:15Yeah.
27:16Yes.
27:18Yeah.
27:20Birmingham is right.
27:21Ori, well done.
27:22Fingers on buzzers.
27:23Here's another.
27:24Join the dots.
27:26Technology.
27:27Looks like two words.
27:30Susan.
27:31Artificial intelligence.
27:33Are you kidding me?
27:35What happened?
27:37What just happened?
27:39Here's the next one.
27:40Fingers on buzzers.
27:41Dickens' character.
27:42Goodness me.
27:43Looks like three words.
27:44Mm-hmm.
27:45Oh, Susan again.
27:47The artful dodger.
27:48Well done.
27:48I think you're good at this.
27:50Is it the artful dodger?
27:51Yes, it is.
27:53This is hard when somebody can just see stuff.
27:56I've seen it.
27:56She's seen it.
27:57But come on, Ori.
27:58Action stations.
27:59Here we go.
28:00Religious festival.
28:01One word.
28:04Susan.
28:05Is it Diwali?
28:06Is it Diwali?
28:08That's W in the middle, yes.
28:10Yeah.
28:11All right, you are absolutely motoring here.
28:14Don't worry, Ori, because I can't solve them either.
28:18That makes you feel bad.
28:21I'm not playing.
28:22Jeremy, you need to work a little bit on your motivational talks.
28:26That was good enough for me.
28:29Okay, next one.
28:32Insects.
28:33Come on, Ori.
28:38Ori.
28:39Praying Mantis.
28:41Praying Mantis.
28:42Come on.
28:43Yes, well done.
28:44Well done, Ori and Susan.
28:45Ori scored four.
28:46Good recovery.
28:47Susan scored six.
28:48Let's look at the totals then for each team.
28:50So, we have Carol and Ori on 24.
28:53Sally and Susan on 33.
28:57Very good at this game.
28:58Did you see that?
28:59Very, very good.
28:59In this next game, you need to keep your eyes peeled
29:01because it's time for Word Flash.
29:05In this round, you're going to be given a category
29:07followed by some of the answer.
29:09We see the category 80s hits.
29:11And the words will sort of come at you and disappear
29:13and you'll see letters and then you'll get more letters.
29:16And you just need to buzz, basically.
29:18This is the example.
29:20So, it's at least one, two, three, four, five, six words.
29:24Something to the something.
29:28Oof.
29:29Carol.
29:30Girls just want to have fun.
29:32Indeed.
29:33And that is also the answer.
29:35Girls just want to have fun.
29:37Let's see.
29:37Oh, there we go.
29:38Well done.
29:39By Cindy Lauper.
29:40Mm-hmm.
29:41That's how it works.
29:41It's time to play Carol, Ori, Sally, Susan.
29:44Fingers on buzzers.
29:45Here's your first.
29:47Horse race, everyone.
29:49Now.

29:53Cheltenham Festival.
29:55I wonder.
29:56Is it Cheltenham Festival?
29:58Oh.
29:59So, we leave it in a frozen state.
30:01I don't know any horse races.
30:03Is it the Cheltenham Gold Cup?
30:05Is it Cheltenham Gold Cup?
30:08Well done.
30:09Oh, my gosh.
30:10Seriously.
30:11Fingers on buzzers.
30:12Okay.

31:00Secretary of State.
31:02Oh, very good.
31:02Is the right answer.
31:03Well done, Sal.
31:05Brilliant.
31:05So, we've got another for you.

31:57Final one.
31:58Fingers on buzzers.
31:59Here we go.
32:00Everyone buzzing, please.
32:02Book trilogy.
32:05Three letters.
32:07Four letters.
32:10Nine letters.
32:13Gradually they appear.
32:15I.S.
32:18Susan.
32:19Is it His Dark Materials?
32:21Is it His Dark Materials?
32:26By Philip Pullman.
32:28His Dark Materials.
32:28Well done, Susan.
32:29Oh, that was a round.
32:31Having seen a lot of brilliant celebs, we know, captains and I know, the comedians are the ones who are
32:37just cutthroat.
32:38They will just, sorry, but they will just go for it.
32:41They leave no one standing.
32:43There was a survey of the most sociopathic professions in the world, and the top two were lawyer and comedian.
32:53Well done, Susan.
32:55So essentially, I've done both.
33:00At the end of that round, Carol and Auré have got, let's see, 28 points.
33:04It's still going well, but Sally and Susan have got 40.
33:07It's a very high score.
33:09Wow.
33:10Are you beating our celebrities so far?
33:11Time for our penultimate round.
33:13This one, both teams will be tackling the letterbox, whether they like it or not.
33:17I tell you what they will like, though, and that's the fact the fastest team in this round will get
33:20the two bonus points.
33:22Auré and Carol, you need those points, so you really want to play hard here.
33:27Here we go with Fernundrum.
33:30Let's see how this works.
33:31You will see three anagrams, each a letter longer than the one before.
33:34You've just got to solve them.
33:36Rearrange the tiles.
33:37In order, shortest word first, please.
33:39So you would go what with that?
33:41Roomie.
33:42Roomie.
33:43And then the...
33:44Plucky.
33:44Plucky.
33:45In coven.
33:46How does that rearrange?
33:50Invoice.
33:51Oh, no.
33:51Invoice?
33:52Invoice.
33:53No, it's not.
33:54No, no.
33:54What about connive?
33:56Ah, yes.
33:57That's a tough one.
33:58Connive, plucky, roomie.
33:59And sometimes we go in great guns and we get stuck, don't we?
34:02Yes.
34:02Not always.
34:03As ever, you'll be against the clock, so as soon as you've solved the third anagram, do
34:07hit the button to stop the clock.
34:08You'll score two points per solved word.
34:10However, if you complete all three anagrams faster than your opponents, you get the bonus
34:14two points.
34:15And obviously, Ore and Carol quietly hoping that we will see a total batting collapse on this
34:20side, but they're playing very well, Sally and Susan, in a jazz, in a jazz, in a jazz.
34:24As you're leading, please, would you go first to the letterbox to face your Fernandrum.
34:31As soon as you solve the third Fernandrum, hit the button to stop the clock.
34:34Your time starts now.
34:36Okay.
34:36Okay.
34:37What's this?
34:38Is it cram?
34:39Cream.
34:39Cream.
34:40Yeah.
34:42Cream.
34:42Okay.
34:43Cream is a word.
34:43Okay, what's this?
34:45Er...
34:46It's not a heart.
34:47No.
34:48So, let's, er, is it, let's, let's put the fa...
34:55It could be th something.
34:57Father.
34:58Father.
34:58Yep, yep, you got it.
35:00Well done.
35:01Father.
35:02Well done.
35:03Okay, now this one.
35:04Father is a word.
35:05Erm, so...
35:07So, let's put, so, is it light at the end?
35:09Could be late at the end.
35:13Er, light.
35:15Late.
35:17Amelite.
35:18Motivate.
35:19No, er, er, lamb mint.
35:22No, er, okay.
35:24It could be...
35:25Oh, maybe I've made a...
35:27No, no, no, no, no, no.
35:28I think, I...
35:28Tomato?
35:29Oh, no.
35:30Tomato.
35:31Er, what's this?
35:32Let me...
35:32Er, let me think.
35:33You must be getting close.
35:34Er...
35:46I'm, er...
35:49This is ten seconds.
35:50I can't see it.
35:51I can't see it in meal.
35:55Erm...
35:56Oh, one at a time.
35:57I've just seen it.
35:58Have you?
35:59Oh, that's a lot more done.
36:00Oh, because you put meal down.
36:02Yeah.
36:03And I think we put meal at the end.
36:05And, erm, and then we put oat at the start.
36:08Oh, come on.
36:09And it's kind of like it's that thing.
36:10Oh, gosh.
36:11Yes.
36:11Meal was a lovely four letters.
36:13Oh, what a shame.
36:14Salted.
36:14Oatmeal.
36:15Oatmeal.
36:16But father was good.
36:17Cream was good.
36:18Oatmeal, father, cream were the three words.
36:21You didn't complete all three, though, so you missed out on the bonus points.
36:23Before Carol and Ori take their turn at the famous table, we will take a quick break.
36:27It looks like we're in for a nail-biting finish.
36:29Perhaps, I'm not sure, because we wrote that link weeks before we filmed this.
36:34Join the future me for part four.
36:40Why don't you try unscrambling the middle three letters to solve this, Fernando?
36:44Get puzzling.
36:57Have you figured out this, Fernando?
37:00Well done if you got it right.
37:05Welcome back to part four of Celebrity Puzzling.
37:07Just a few questions stand between us and learning the identity of tonight's winners.
37:11So I better get on with it and ask them, don't you think?
37:13Carol and Ori, your turn to face the Fenundrum.
37:16Three new anagrams.
37:18Big moment in the game.
37:19This, remember, you've got to solve them in order.
37:21Shortest one first.
37:23Sally and Susan just failed to spot Oatmeal, which was crushing.
37:29So if you do complete all three, you get the two bonus points.
37:31And then it's all down with the answer bank.
37:33Remember, once you solve all three, hit the button.
37:36Good luck.
37:36Your time starts now.
37:39Okay.
37:40Drawn.
37:41Not a draw.
37:42Drawn.
37:43Drawn.
37:44Go on to that one.
37:45Let's see.
37:46You can't go on to that.
37:47Oh, no, it's not.
37:48It's draw.
37:48Oh, sorry.
37:50Award.
37:51What's that?
37:51Award.
37:52Award.
37:53I'll do it.
37:55Um.
37:57Well done.
37:58Award is right.
38:00But that's going to go together.
38:02But Helmet.
38:03Helmet, I'll do it.
38:05Helmet.
38:05Don't you?
38:06What about T-O-R-N-T?
38:11Trodden.
38:13Helmet is right.
38:14Oh, I say.
38:15Oh, I say.
38:16Oh, I say.
38:17Go on.
38:17Here.
38:18There's O.
38:19There's O there.
38:20O's got it over there.
38:21O, the O's gone over there.
38:23Well done.
38:23You've done it.
38:25Brilliant.
38:26Power.
38:27Brilliant.
38:28Come on, audience.
38:28The O was literally trying to sneak up there.
38:30I was like, what do you think?
38:31I saw there was a...
38:31This is very interesting, isn't it?
38:33Very.
38:34These two quiz like crazy.
38:35Can I just say, he got all three.
38:36He did.
38:37I did not.
38:37He went straight through those.
38:39And award, Helmet, Torrent.
38:41Great effort.
38:42Please head back to your seats.
38:45OK, guys.
38:48So, Carol and Ore, you managed to add six points to your score there.
38:51And you got the bonus two points.
38:53So, with eight extra points for them, let's see the overall scores.
38:58Carol and Ore still behind on 36.
39:00Yeah.
39:01But not that far behind.
39:02Sally and Susan on 44.
39:04Yeah.
39:07It's been such a contest.
39:08It started, didn't it, with the old ciphers.
39:11And you two were brilliant.
39:12You had the edge on the ciphers.
39:14Yeah.
39:14And then...
39:15It's been like that, hasn't it?
39:16Sally and Susan pulled ahead, particularly on the Joy and the Dots, uncanny play by Susan.
39:22Oh, I don't know.
39:22You only got two...
39:23No, you only got two.
39:24Two behind.
39:25I think you're mistaken.
39:26Just because I got artificial intelligence from one line.
39:28That's the thing.
39:29You got artificial intelligence before it even came on the screen.
39:34You then powered ahead.
39:36Yeah.
39:36And then suddenly, Ore got those words, is the fenundrum the turning point in the game?
39:41Because it puts you in a position where you can win, as you well know.
39:44So, it all comes down to this.
39:45Okay.
39:45The Answer Bank.
39:48It's our final round.
39:49I know that Caroline Laurie can catch up on paper.
39:52It's happened before.
39:53In a moment, I'll show you a grid of 12 words.
39:55I'll then ask questions against the clock, buzz in and give me the correct answer, which
39:59could be lateral, like a crossword clue.
40:01If an answer has more than one word, you must give all the corresponding words in the correct
40:05order.
40:06You'll score a point per word, so it could add up to winning or losing the whole show just
40:10on this.
40:11I'll now reveal all the words on the Answer Bank.
40:14One, kite, the, hold, red, assassin, pie, walk, thin, American, dance, line.
40:37There they are.
40:39If you're all ready, we play tonight's final.
40:42He enjoys saying that.
40:45Okay, here we go.
40:46Your time starts now.

41:13The.
41:14The is right.
41:15Well done.
41:16Take a slice of this chart.
41:18Carol.

42:51Susan.
42:52Assassin.
42:54Yes.
42:55Correct.
42:55Well done.
42:59I love that you got that.
43:00Ass.
43:01Ass.
43:01That was a very hard-fought round with a lot at stake because we're talking cube here.
43:06You don't think you did so well?
43:07We did not do well.
43:09Or rather, I did not do well.
43:10Oh, come on.
43:12I couldn't really, there was an answer coming at me like a blizzard there.
43:15I couldn't work out who was ahead.
43:16Yeah.
43:16All right.
43:17Well, we wanted Carol and Ore to pull into contention.
43:21Did they do it?
43:22Let's have a look at the scoreboard to find out.
43:25So, Carol and Ore got six points in that round, which brings them to 42.
43:30That's not bad.
43:31Sally and Susan got 12, which puts them a long way ahead on 56.
43:39You've done it, Susan.
43:40You get the puzzling cube to take home with you.
43:44And you will be able, when you go on tour, to basically move this around the dressing room,
43:49put it at different places.
43:50Genuinely, I'm not taking that to a dressing room.
43:52Someone will take that.
43:53I mean, that's primo merch, though.
43:55Primo merch.
43:56It is.
43:56And we're not, it's like, they're not like the Blue Peter badge where they just gave it
43:59out to all and sundry.
44:00This only goes out to one person a day.
44:05That is going into a Mission Impossible-style cage in my house.
44:09With lasers.
44:09Going to go in there.
44:10With lasers.
44:11And I just need to ask my niece and nephew, you know, for the future, which one of them
44:14wants it in the will, because they'll be fighting.
44:17That's going to be an important thing.
44:18They'll be fighting that and the Fabergé egg.
44:19It's an important place.
44:20What are they going to go for?
44:21Well, thank you for playing.
44:23Brilliant championship performance.
44:24All right, thank you as well.
44:25I know, we can't win all the time.
44:29Time for me to indiscreetly look at my watch and declare our time is up.
44:33My thanks to Carol, Sally, Ore and Susan.
44:35Join us next time for more celebrity puzzling.
44:37Thank you for being on board with us and playing along.
44:39Have a good night.
44:58Have a good night.
