00:00Hello, I'm Jeremy Vine and this is the show where two celebrity teams face a series of fiendishly and yet
00:06fun puzzles.
00:07Disclaimer, they might not feel as fun for them once the pressure's on, but they've agreed to it now.
00:12This is Celebrity Puzzling.
00:30Hello, welcome to Celebrity Puzzling and first let's meet our two incredible team captains.
00:35She would give us 110% tonight, but she knows full well that's mathematically impossible.
00:40It's the fabulous Carol Vorderman.
00:43Oh, I'm so down in the middle.
00:46And here to take her on, she's a talented actor and shrewd businesswoman who clearly knows the score,
00:51although that score is currently nil-nil.
00:54Anyone can tell you that.
00:55It's Sally Lindsay.
00:58So if those two aren't enough of a handful, they've also been joined by two celebrity teammates.
01:02On Carol's team tonight is a doctor who hates quizzes.
01:07We prescribe 60 minutes of puzzling to be taken immediately.
01:11Dr Ran Singh.
01:14Joining Sally is a broadcaster who should be on Carol's team really, growing up as she did in County Down.
01:19It's Holly Hamilton.
01:22Welcome everyone.
01:23I've just got my own joke.
01:25County, County Down.
01:27County Down.
01:27Count Down.
01:28That was a little bit too clever until you explained it.
01:30I had no idea what you were talking about.
01:31I was going to ask Carol and I was like, are you from County Down too?
01:34Now, you've just become a mum again.
01:36Yeah.
01:37Two boys.
01:38Yeah.
01:39They're like having two Springer Spaniels.
01:40You know, you've just got to take them to the park, throw a ball for a while.
01:43Not with a newborn, however.
01:45With a four-year-old, absolutely.
01:47Well, it's lovely to have you.
01:48Are you a puzzler?
01:49I am a puzzler.
01:50I do enjoy a little puzzle.
01:52But don't ask me about my general knowledge.
01:54No, you're fine.
01:55We're okay.
01:56So what about yourself, Ran Singh?
01:57You got your first GCSE aged eight.
02:00I did.
02:00Are you an undeclared puzzling genius?
02:02Because if so, Holly needs to know.
02:04No.
02:05There was a strategy to this.
02:07My parents spoke Punjabi and they wanted us to read and write and learn it and everything,
02:11which is fantastic.
02:12So they made us go to school on Sundays, to Punjabi school,
02:16on the proviso that once I got my GCSE, I was allowed to leave.
02:20And I hated going to school on Sundays.
02:22So I was like, right, challenge accepted.
02:23Wow.
02:24I can remember my headmaster's face when I took the certificate in to present at assemblies.
02:29People were getting, like, swimming certificates and I'm walking with the GCSEs.
02:35It was a bit silly.
02:37Here we go, everyone.
02:38In every celebrity puzzling episode,
02:39our teams face a random selection of potentially thousands of rounds.
02:43There aren't thousands, but I challenge you to prove otherwise.
02:46This does mean no two contests are ever the same.
02:48That's the excitement.
02:49Players, you'll face six rounds of fun slash frustrating puzzles.
02:53In order to score as many points as possible,
02:55that's important because you want to win the contest.
02:58I'm pointing out the obvious.
03:00That's what we like to do here.
03:01But the key thing is this.
03:02Build up the points because the answer bank can turn it all around.
03:06For the winning celebrity guest,
03:08I can show you something that's going to absolutely blow your mind.
03:11Our prize is that.
03:13There's a prize.
03:16Yeah, you thought it was just glory, but no.
03:18This is known as the celebrity puzzling puzzling cube.
03:21Your boys will love that.
03:22The boys, they're not getting it.
03:23This is for me.
03:25Time to start.
03:26Here comes round one.
03:27Let's get puzzling.
03:27This first puzzle is based around a subject
03:29close to every self-respecting Brit's heart.
03:32It's called Form an Orderly Cue.
03:36So I'm going to show you how this works,
03:38just for our newbies here.
03:39A question will appear,
03:40but somehow our supercomputer has reordered each word alphabetically
03:44rather than how they should be written.
03:46So have a look at this.
03:48I think I know this.
03:49Try with our guests.
03:51Go on, Holly.
03:51Stay Another Day.
03:52Stay Another Day.
03:53Number one hit for which boy band?
03:56E17.
03:57Yeah, Ranj, you got it?
03:58E17.
03:59Brilliant.
03:59Was it E17?
04:00The GCSE coming in handy there.
04:03E17 would have been right.
04:04And we can then unscramble the question.
04:06Stay Another Day was the number one hit for which boy band?
04:09You must decipher the question and buzz in
04:11when you know the answer to bag the points.
04:13So, can you form an orderly cue?
04:17Time to find out.
04:18Fingers on buzzers.
04:19Here we go.
04:20First one.
04:21Buzz when you know.
04:22Got a capital D in there and a capital T.
04:29Oh, Holly.
04:30Leonardo DiCaprio.
04:31Leonardo DiCaprio, says Holly.
04:37Let's unscramble the question.
04:39Who played Jack Dawson in the film Titanic?
04:41Get ready on the buzzers.
04:42Here we go.
04:42Second one.
04:44I have a feeling Holly's good at this.
04:46Oh.
04:47Oh.
04:47What?
04:50Carol?
04:52Oxygen.
04:53Is it oxygen?
04:55Yes.
04:56I see what you did there.
04:59I see the word symbol now.
05:00Let's unscramble.
05:02O is the chemical symbol for which gas?
05:04No one else got past O.
05:06Oxygen is right.
05:07Well done, Carol.
05:08Here's the next one for you.
05:13Capital D is always going to be in the beginning word.
05:16There's a capital S.
05:19Carol.
05:21Norwich City.
05:22Oh, is it Norwich City?
05:27Yes, Michelle.
05:29So, again.
05:30I've got a football question.
05:33You guys have everything ready.
05:35Don't scramble it, please.
05:37Delia Smith is a fan of which football team?
05:39Norwich City.
05:40The questions might get a little more difficult as we go along.
05:43Fingers back on buzzers.
05:44Here we go.
05:45Oh, I see.
05:46We've got...
05:47Looks like two names in there.
05:50Sally.
05:50Is it...
05:51Oh, sorry.
05:53The only way is Essex.
05:54Wow.
05:56So, let's see if it's right.
05:58The only way is Essex.
06:00Yes, that's right.
06:02Let's unscramble that question.
06:05Here's another question for you.
06:07Again, forming an orderly queue here.
06:11There's a word there that looks like it's not scrabbled.
06:13Yes, Holly.
06:14Glasgow.
06:16Glasgow.
06:17Very good.
06:18Well done.
06:18Ah, yes.
06:20Let's have a look at the question.
06:21Population.
06:22What is the largest city in Scotland by population?
06:24Yeah, good.
06:24Here's the final one.
06:25Get ready.
06:29Oh, we can see inverted commas.
06:32That's helpful.
06:33Yes, Holly.
06:34I'll try Mr. Happy.
06:36Mr. Happy.
06:38Oh.
06:39I see what you did there.
06:40What are we going to do?
06:41Shall we go Mr. Tumble?
06:43I was going to say Tumble.
06:45Let's go with Mr. Tumble.
06:46Is it Mr. Tumble?
06:48No.
06:49Tickle.
06:50Tickle.
06:50Let's just see the answer.
06:51Come on.
06:52Oh, Mr. Tumble.
06:53Oh!
06:53It was Tickle.
06:54Let's unscramble the question.
06:57What is the title of the first Mr. Member?
06:59Oh, that's interesting.
07:00I didn't know that.
07:01At the end of that round,
07:02Carol and Ranch have got four points.
07:04And Sally and Holly are just slightly ahead with six points.
07:08Not bad.
07:09Not bad.
07:12Hopefully you managed to reorder those questions at home.
07:15Well done if you had any success there.
07:17All right, time for our teams to try and bank some more points tonight.
07:20This time over at our letterbox.
07:22The round we'll be playing is your favourite and mine, word blocks.
07:29So, we'll see how it works now.
07:31You will see an empty word block with just the corners filled in.
07:34So, you've then got some letter tiles above.
07:36More than you need.
07:37And you're looking to put them in and form four words.
07:40So...
07:41P-R-O.
07:42Pro.
07:43Pro golfer.
07:44Top.
07:45Top, yes.
07:46We like that.
07:46Toe.
07:47Ego.
07:47Oh, toe, OK.
07:48No.
07:49The.
07:49Ego.
07:50So, T-H-E.
07:52The.
07:52The.
07:53The.
07:53So, top, the, pro, ego.
07:57The only ego on show today, I'm sure.
07:59This is worth three points.
08:01As ever, you are against the clock.
08:02So, Sally and Holly, you'll be going first.
08:05Heading on over to the letterbox to play word blocks.
08:11So, when you're happy with your answer, make sure you hit the button.
08:14Good luck to you.
08:15Your time starts now.
08:16OK.
08:18OK.
08:19Erm.
08:19Fan.
08:20Fan.
08:21Erm.
08:22Fan.
08:22Oh, no.
08:23Elf.
08:24Elf.
08:24Oh, no, hang on.
08:25Eek, eek, eek, eek.
08:26Kin.
08:27Kin, yeah.
08:28Right.
08:28Hit the button.
08:29OK, yeah, we like our exclamations.
08:32See, I get worried about those, because I think...
08:33Is that a word?
08:34Is that a word?
08:34So, well done.
08:35You've got your eek and kin, fan, elf.
08:38OK, your next word block will be a tiny bit harder,
08:40because we're giving you more letters to choose from.
08:42So, there are more red herrings.
08:43This puzzle is worth four points.
08:44Reveal the puzzle.
08:45Your time starts now.
08:47Have we got you?
08:49Well, let's ignore Q for a bit.
08:50Well, saw.
08:51Saw, yes.
08:53Erm.
08:54Maybe, maybe, maybe way.
08:55Sip.
08:56So.
08:56So, and what's that?
08:59And then...
09:01Fight?
09:02No, hang on.
09:03Oh, no.
09:03Oh, erm.
09:05Well, maybe what?
09:06Look, here.
09:06Why?
09:07Pay!
09:07Pay!
09:08Yes.
09:08Yes, well done!
09:10You did well.
09:11You were not distracted by the queue.
09:14Your final word block is the hardest yet.
09:16Still just three-letter words on each side,
09:17but even more spares to choose from.
09:19So, this is worth a massive five points.
09:21Your time starts now.
09:24OK, what's that?
09:25Oats.
09:26I like my oats.
09:27Oats, yeah.
09:28Um, cot.
09:29Yeah.
09:30What's that, then?
09:31Oh, I was looking for that.
09:32P-E-S-U, what's that?
09:33V-O.
09:34V-O.
09:35V-O.
09:35V-O.
09:37V-O.
09:37Or maybe...
09:38Is it this?
09:39V-O.
09:40Oh, gosh, yes!
09:40Yes, of course it is!
09:41Oh, and then...
09:42Peck.
09:43And then...
09:43What's that?
09:44What's that, though?
09:45Peck.
09:46P-E-S-U.
09:47What's that?
09:48Oh, oh!
09:50I don't even know what...
09:50P-E-S-U.
09:52Why is P-E-S-U.
09:53I don't understand this.
09:54Maybe it's P-E-S.
09:55Peck, look at your P-E-S.
09:56Your P-E-S.
09:56Oh, yeah, okay.
09:58Yeah, well done.
09:59So, P-E-S, we can accept P-E-S.
10:01I'm not very good at abbreviations.
10:03I keep saying that word.
10:04I think it's now a standalone word.
10:05That's not a word.
10:06P-E-S is now a standalone word, isn't it?
10:08Because it's short for pectoralis, isn't it?
10:10Or pectoral.
10:10So, this is, of course, the new mum.
10:13The new mum is staying away from that word, thinking,
10:16OK, come on, hang it.
10:17Yeah, exactly.
10:18I've got a break from this, and it's right there.
10:20What are you trying to say?
10:22There we go.
10:23You did really well, and well done getting the peck at the end.
10:25I'm so glad.
10:25OK, well done, Sally and Holly.
10:27Your visit to the letterbox has scored you the maximum.
10:3012 points.
10:31So, how many points did you rack up at home?
10:33Carol and Ranj have yet to play.
10:35Are you feeling good about this?
10:36You'll get your chance to score some points at the letterbox in a moment
10:39before we jump headfirst into that.
10:41It's time for a quick break.
10:42I wish it wasn't the case, but that's how it has to be.
10:44We'll be back with more powerful puzzling and simmering tension after this.
10:48See you in a few minutes.
10:53To solve this path words puzzle,
10:55swap the letters in just one column to reveal the correct answers.
11:00Happy puzzling.
11:07Did you make the right choice and solve this path words puzzle?
11:11If you did, great job.
11:15OK, this is fun, isn't it?
11:17Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling,
11:18the show that takes recognisable faces
11:20and puts them under, at times, unreasonable strain.
11:24Carol and Ranj, as I promised you,
11:25now get your chance to bank some points
11:27by taking a turn at the letterbox.
11:28As a reminder, you'll see this empty wordblock.
11:31Some of the letters will be filled in.
11:32You also have a number of letter tiles to choose from.
11:35You have to pick four letters to spell out four words.
11:38Two horizontally, two vertically, just like a crossword.
11:41It's worth three points.
11:42You saw how it worked last time.
11:44Just remember, hit the big red button
11:46when you're happy with your answer.
11:47Here's your first wordblock.
11:49Here we go, Ranj.
11:52OK.
11:53Wig?
11:54Yes?
11:54Whee!
11:58I am...
11:59Yes, I am letting you do it.
12:00That doesn't make sense, does it?
12:02No, that doesn't make sense.
12:04Woe.
12:05And...
12:05Woe.
12:06Would you say G?
12:07G, that is, yeah?
12:08Yeah, let's come back.
12:09Yeah, G, we like your explanation.
12:12And G, G would G.
12:14G's very American.
12:16G it is.
12:16I think three-letter words are,
12:18some of them are just utterances.
12:19Well done, that was perfect.
12:21Your next wordblock will be a tiny bit harder
12:23because we're giving you more letters to choose from,
12:25so this puzzle is worth four points.
12:27Reveal the puzzle, your time starts now.
12:31What have we got here?
12:32Q.
12:33Yes.
12:34Yes, cry.
12:35Q, cry.
12:36I love that.
12:37Eb.
12:38Eb.
12:39Yeah.
12:39Yob.
12:40And yob.
12:40Yes?
12:41Are we happy?
12:41We're good with that.
12:44I like this, you're playing well within your capabilities here.
12:47Yob is a funny one.
12:48I don't like the word yob.
12:50You might say...
12:51Hoodlum.
12:52No, you might say bug, but I wouldn't use yob.
12:55No, ruffian.
12:56Your final...
12:57Young ruffians.
12:58Your final wordblock is the hardest yet,
13:01still just three-letter words on each side,
13:03even more spare letters to choose from.
13:05It's Red Herring Grand Central.
13:06This wordblock is worth a massive five points.
13:08You saw that they made mincemead out of this one,
13:10so you've got to do well here.
13:12Your time starts now.
13:15Or say...
13:16A.
13:16I find that C.
13:18C, very good.
13:19C is a word.
13:20Say.
13:21What would that be?
13:24Aim.
13:25Aim.
13:26And what would that be?
13:27Yum?
13:27No, that doesn't make sense.
13:29That would be right.
13:29That would be yam.
13:30And soy.
13:30And soy.
13:31All right.
13:32Well done.
13:33Ria!
13:34Hi, Ria!
13:35It's good.
13:35Ria!
13:36So good.
13:36How are you doing?
13:37OK, let's head back to your seats.
13:39We'll look at the scores.
13:43How many puzzles did you solve at home?
13:45Carol and Ranj, your visit to the letterbox scored you the maximum 12.
13:49Yay!
13:50So, it's pretty competitive.
13:52I thought it would be this game today, actually.
13:54Let's see what it's done to the scores.
13:55Carol and Ranj on 16.
13:57Holly and Sally on 18.
14:01Nothing in it.
14:02Nothing in it.
14:03The next puzzle is one we can all count on.
14:06It's time to play 3, 2, 1.
14:08Oh, no, this is fun.
14:09This is fun.
14:10This is fun.
14:11Yeah, we like this, don't we?
14:12Yeah.
14:12So, let's see if you can master this one on the screen.
14:15Just as an example, you'll see a grid of answers.
14:17Three of those answers will be connected,
14:19and two of those answers will be connected, leaving an odd one out.
14:22Locking chair, armchair.
14:24Guests have a little go.
14:25So, connected will be...
14:26So, there's going to be a three, hasn't there?
14:28Hair and nail.
14:29You've got to have three nailer connected.
14:32To be connected, they have to have sides touching.
14:34Yeah.
14:34So, arm, hair and nail are all connected.
14:36Arm, hair, nail.
14:37They are body parts.
14:38Let's say that Carol's right about armchair, rocking chair.
14:40Where are we getting our trio from?
14:42Where's the trio?
14:43Is it square, hair and nail have roots?
14:47Oh, my goodness.
14:48Square, hair and nail.
14:49Arm and rocking.
14:50And the two is arm and rocking, and the odd one out is toilet.
14:53It's a bit abstract, but...
14:54Very abstract.
14:55I'm going to give you a different answer.
14:57Three types of brush.
15:00Yeah.
15:00OK, hairbrush, nailbrush, toilet brush.
15:03Arm and rocking chair, bang on from Carol.
15:06And square was the odd one out.
15:07Now, let's see how you get on.
15:09Carol and Ranj, here's your first three, two, one puzzle.
15:11Here we go, Ranj.
15:12Cobra, Mamba, Samba, Gumbo, Merengue, Rumba.
15:16So, three dances, Samba, Rumba, Merengue, Cobra and Mamba are both snakes and Gumbo is the odd one out.
15:21I love this man.
15:22Oh, what?
15:23I love him.
15:24Certainly.
15:25Out comes the GCSE.
15:27So, you're saying Samba, Rumba, Merengue, Adances.
15:31Adances.
15:32That's the trio.
15:32Yes.
15:33The pair are dangerous snakes.
15:35Cobra and Mamba.
15:36Yes.
15:37And then the odd one out, the Gumbo.
15:38Is he right?
15:40Yes.
15:42Back in the game.
15:43OK, Sally and Holly, your turn.
15:50OK, things in space.
15:52Comet, Mars.
15:53Let's have a think.
15:55Augustus?
15:55I feel like they might be connected in some way, but...
15:58Yeah, Janus and Augustus are Roman.
16:00Yeah.
16:00And so is Mars.
16:02Mars is Roman?
16:04Yeah, Mars was the Roman god of war.
16:06Ah, look at you, you're good at that.
16:08But Augustus and Janus, I think they are Roman gods.
16:13And Augustus, I don't quite know, but I assume that's where we got
16:16Augustus from, so I assume he's a god.
16:17So those three, I think, are gods.
16:19Oh, see, I would have really wanted to put Mars with Comets,
16:21so I'm glad you're here.
16:23But football...
16:24Baseball, there we go, ball.
16:25Football, baseball, yeah, well done, there you go.
16:27So...
16:27And Comet on its own.
16:28Yeah.
16:28Let's go Mars, Augustus, Janus, foot and base,
16:32and Comet on its own.
16:34And let's see if you're right.
16:36Yes, well done.
16:37Mars, Augustus, Janus or Janus, figures who give their names
16:42to months.
16:42Months, right.
16:43March, August, Janus.
16:45Yes, yeah, really, yes.
16:46And then it's football, baseball, you're quite right, well done.
16:49And Comet's a little one out.
16:51Get ready, Carol and Ranj, here's the next one for you.
16:55Dexter, Ness, Lomond, lemon, pomelo, Katrine.
16:59Right.
17:00So pomelo is a fruit?
17:02Yes.
17:03Obviously lemon is.
17:04Yes.
17:04Is there a lock Dexter?
17:07I don't know, there are a lot of locks.
17:10Is Dexter a fruit or Katrine a fruit?
17:13I'm...
17:14Again, this is probably wrong, but I'm, for some weird reason,
17:18I think there might be a Lake of Katrine.
17:20OK.
17:21I'm, like, throwing it out there.
17:23So we're going...
17:24So there we've got three, two...
17:25What's the three?
17:26The three being Ness, Lomond and Katrine.
17:28I would agree with you.
17:29Or bodies of water, maybe.
17:31And lemon and pomelo both...
17:33Yeah.
17:33Fruity.
17:34Fruit, yeah.
17:34And so Dexter's the odd one out, but I'm not confident.
17:37No.
17:38Not at all.
17:39Are they right?
17:41Yes.
17:43And you're well done, Ranj.
17:45Very, very good.
17:46So right and for the right reason.
17:48Dexter is the odd one out.
17:50Lemon and pomelo are citrus fruit.
17:52Right, we got it.
17:53Well played.
17:54We're starting to stretch you, Ranj, aren't we?
17:56Mm-hmm.
17:57Yeah.
17:58Sally and Hawley, here's your next one.
18:02Blake, Yates, Daniel, Aurora, Benny, Nikita.
18:07OK, so...
18:07OK, Blake and Yates, obviously, a poet.
18:09Yeah.
18:11Daniel, Daniel, Daniel.
18:13I'm thinking of names of...
18:15Benny and Nikita, Aurora.
18:18Oh, I know what it is.
18:19Oh, oh, look at...
18:21It just hit me.
18:22Blake and Yates, they're obviously poets.
18:24Yates, sorry.
18:25Yates, not Yates.
18:25Yates, Blake and Yates.
18:27Daniel, Nikita and Benny are names in Elton John records.
18:30Stop.
18:31So, Benny and the Jets, Nikita and Daniel.
18:34Wow.
18:34And Aurora is a spare one.
18:37OK.
18:37He's not out for fun now.
18:39The duo.
18:40Could this be right?
18:41Could Aurora be the odd one out?
18:42Let's see if you're right, Sal.
18:46Yeah.
18:47I'm confident.
18:48I'm confident that you delivered that.
18:50Only because it's music.
18:51That's good.
18:52Well, I know she loves her music.
18:54OK, Carolyn Ranch, here's your next one.
18:55Oh, gosh.
18:58George Washington.
18:59Checkered flag, pit stop, Williamsburg, Keith, Cruz.
19:03Penelope pit stop, Penelope Cruz.
19:06Oh.
19:06Penelope Keith?
19:07Penelope Keith.
19:08Penelope Keith.
19:09So, there's a three.
19:10Yeah.
19:11Clever.
19:12Is there...
19:13Is George Washington a bridge?
19:15Then are the bridges.
19:17There's some...
19:17Yeah, they're American.
19:19Yeah, I don't think it's...
19:19I think checkered flag is the odd one out.
19:21Yeah.
19:21You are so clever.
19:23Just Penelope's.
19:24Oh!
19:26Dr. Ranch.
19:27Shall we go with that?
19:28Absolutely.
19:29Go on, then.
19:29Penelope pit stop, Penelope Cruz and Penelope Keith as our three-er.
19:36George Washington and Williamsburg might be bridges, and checkered flag is the odd one out.
19:41OK.
19:42Let's see.
19:43Is it right?
19:44Yay!
19:45It's right, and your logic is right.
19:48George Washington and Williamsburg are bridges in New York.
19:51There we are.
19:52There we go.
19:52That's brilliant.
19:53Ranj, I can tell you that Carol loves a clever man.
19:57Final puzzle, this time for Sally and Holly.
20:01OK.
20:02Lion, twins, butterflies, lightning, worms, tongues.
20:06My head went there like Lion King.
20:09Lightning McQueen.
20:11Lion King.
20:12It's Disney.
20:14It's flies, twins.
20:16This is a tricky one.
20:18OK, lightning.
20:19I...
20:20I know...
20:21What can you say about tongues?
20:24So what does...
20:25Speaking of tongues, butterflies.
20:28Because you're going to have a lightning.
20:29Cliffs.
20:31And a forked tongue.
20:33We're just thinking, is it...
20:33Worms and forks.
20:34That's hard.
20:36Um...
20:37Give me a three.
20:38OK.
20:38I don't know.
20:39I'm going to go for twins, butterflies and tongues and lightning and lightning,
20:42but I don't know what it is at all.
20:44No connection.
20:45Twins, butterflies, tongues.
20:48Yeah.
20:48Then lion and lightning as the pair.
20:51Yeah.
20:52And then worms as the odd one out.
20:54Yeah.
20:54You can't see it.
20:55No.
20:55You can't see anything.
20:56Let's see if this is correct.
20:59Oh.
20:59No chance to steal in this round.
21:02So, the three butterflies, tongues, worms give their names to pasta shapes.
21:09Do they?
21:11Do they?
21:12Vermicelli is little worms.
21:15Linguini is little tongues.
21:18Is it?
21:18And butterflies is fafale.
21:21Lion and twins.
21:22I thought you'd be onto this, actually.
21:23Zodiac.
21:24Oh, yeah.
21:25Oh, no.
21:25So, lion is Leo and twins is Gemini and then lightning, the old one out.
21:30No one in a million years would ever get the pasta one, ever.
21:32What if we had an Italian here?
21:33Imagine half of them.
21:34We haven't, though, have we, Jeremy?
21:35You've got a wee Irish woman here who knows nothing about pasta.
21:39At the end of that round, Carol and Raj have got 22 points.
21:43But Sally and Holly have got 22 as well.
21:46Woo!
21:47So, we have a contest here and there's some very powerful puzzling on both sides that we're seeing.
21:54Hopefully, you've got some of those connections at home.
21:56Did you get the pasta shapes?
21:58No, of course they didn't.
22:00So, are you playing from Rome?
22:02Now, as much as I'd like to go over what happened just now in forensic detail, I won't.
22:05Let's watch some adverts instead.
22:07See you for more celebrity puzzling after this.
22:12If you want to keep puzzling, see if you can pick which letter to move one space up or down
22:17in the alphabet to solve this up or down puzzle.
22:19Best of luck.
22:26Have you figured out which letter to move to solve this up or down puzzle?
22:31If you did, well done.
22:36Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling.
22:37I'm Jeremy Vine, thoroughly refreshed after that short pause in proceedings.
22:41I should mention again, just because I don't know if I mentioned it earlier properly, there's endless fun with this.
22:47Don't learn how to do it off YouTube.
22:49That's the key thing, isn't it?
22:50Oh.
22:51I would like to be a puzzling cube salesperson if everything else goes wrong, which it may be doing.
22:57So far tonight, we've seen a glimpse of what happens when you mix fiendish puzzles with celebs who didn't realise
23:02what show they decided to sign up for.
23:04Sally and Carol looking good.
23:07On it, I can tell.
23:08Two good players with you.
23:10Yes.
23:10Here is where we put Ranj and Holly to the ultimate puzzling test.
23:13It's time for the guest puzzlers to go head to head.
23:16The game is up or down.
23:20Carol and Sally, you can put your feet up for a second, rest those little grey cells and allow your
23:25teammates to take the reins and the strain.
23:28Ranj and Holly, you're about to go head to head on the buzzer.
23:30This is a little bit fiendish, OK?
23:32This is how it works.
23:33You see a word like that, sin-sul, which is five letters.
23:36And each letter has to be replaced with one either before or after in the alphabet.
23:41So C could be B or D.
23:43And we're looking at the clue at the top is crucial.
23:45Singer.
23:46So if it's a D, then it could...
23:48Just what do you think?
23:50Yes.
23:51Yeah.
23:51Got it.
23:52Go on.
23:54Björk.
23:54Is it Björk?
23:56It was the J.
23:57The J hit me.
23:59Were you shouting Björk at the telly?
24:02Or was it oh so quiet in your household?
24:04Oh, nicely done.
24:06The moment's silence for that joke.
24:07Well done if you got that at home.
24:09There are five puzzles to solve.
24:11Fingers on buzzers.
24:12No whispering from your team captains.
24:15Do you understand?
24:16Yes.
24:17Here's your first one.
24:19It's seven letters, it's a body part.
24:22First letter is not S, but either before or after S in the alphabet.
24:31Oh, come on.
24:35Reg!
24:36Ribcage.
24:37Is it ribcage?
24:39Yes!
24:41That was hard.
24:42You had to guess that one.
24:43That was hard.
24:44In a way, it's harder for you because you've got, you know, more body parts.
24:47A lot of pressure.
24:48Yeah, yeah.
24:49This one leads you down a road, doesn't it?
24:51It does, it does.
24:52You can't go back.
24:53It's beastly, it's awful, and we love it.
24:56So, Reg got that.
24:58Fingers on buzzers.
24:59Here's the next one.
25:00Again.
25:01LBQ, etc.
25:03Game, seven letters.
25:07The L would be a K or an M.
25:13Reg?
25:14Marbles.
25:15Is it marbles?
25:17Oh, very good.
25:18It is marbles.
25:21Next one for you both.
25:23Six letters.
25:24Country.
25:27Starts with a T, which would be an S or a U.
25:34TFB.
25:35Six letters.
25:36Country.
25:43Oh.
25:45Oh, Reg.
25:46Uganda.
25:47Is it Uganda?
25:49Yes.
25:51That was...
25:52That was good.
25:54I'm impressed.
25:54I've got the twinkle for you now.
25:57That's good.
25:58Action stations.
25:59Here's another.
26:01Six letters.
26:02Accessory.
26:03Ooh.
26:08Oh, yes, Holly.
26:11Bangle.
26:12Very good.
26:13Is it bangle?
26:13Yes, it is.
26:14Well done, Holly.
26:15Yes.
26:16Very good.
26:17Well done, bangle.
26:18Excellent.
26:19Last one for you two.
26:21Here we go.
26:22Ooh, I say.
26:23Eight letters.
26:24Flower.
26:26Range.
26:27Oh, I've got it wrong.
26:28Oh, no.
26:29All right, pass it to Holly.
26:31Daffodil.
26:32Is it daffodil?
26:35I have the daffodil.
26:37I was about to say dandelion.
26:39Very good.
26:41The danger of going too early.
26:43I know.
26:43Well done, both of you, Range and Holly.
26:45So, Range scored six points.
26:47Holly scored three points.
26:48Let's look at the totals for each team.
26:49So, after that round, Sally and Holly on 25.
26:53Carol and Range on 28.
26:56Ooh.
26:57I need jazz.
26:58Ooh.
26:58It looks like the Artsabank is going to be a big moment in this contest.
27:02Right at the end, time to turn up the temperature with our next perplexing puzzle.
27:06Yes, it is heat map.
27:09Here's how it works.
27:10For each puzzle in this round, the players are shown an image of a QWERTY keyboard,
27:14and above the keyboard is a category.
27:16So, here it's rock star.
27:17We like our rock stars.
27:18Here's the key thing.
27:19The letters in the answer are highlighted on the keyboard.
27:22All the others are greyed out.
27:23What's more, they're colour-coded.
27:25If it's in once, it's green.
27:27If it's in twice, it's orange.
27:28If it's in three or more times, it's red.
27:31O is in there three or more times.
27:33Aussie.
27:34Aussie!
27:35Of course, you've got two Zs.
27:37That's a great way to look at it, yeah.
27:39Is it Aussie Osborne?
27:41Yes, it is.
27:42Here we go with your first.
27:44So, Carol and Range.
27:46All right.
27:46Your first puzzle.
27:48Here we go.
27:50Politician.
27:51Politician.
27:52At least three R's.
27:54But there's a K.
27:56There's a K.
27:57One K.
27:58Um.
27:59Hmm.
28:02I keep thinking prime ministers, but it's probably not.
28:05Keith.
28:05Keith.
28:06Um.
28:06No, there's no H.
28:07No.
28:08Um.
28:11Ooh.
28:12Ooh.
28:13Oh.
28:14That is tough.
28:15So, two E's.
28:16Got Rishi soon.
28:17Not him.
28:18Not him.
28:19Uh.
28:21It can't be me.
28:23No.
28:24Time is ticking.
28:25I'm really stuck on the K.
28:26That's what I'm...
28:27It's K.
28:28Um.
28:28We need to start pushing for an answer.
28:31I've got it.
28:32Um.
28:33We can steal this.
28:36No.
28:38Nothing?
28:39No.
28:41We pass it over.
28:42Holly?
28:43You're going to kick yourself.
28:44Keir Starmer.
28:44Oh, no.
28:46Is it Keir Starmer?
28:48Ooh.
28:50Why did he not say that?
28:52I think that's potentially a major moment in his premiership.
28:55I really...
28:57I really do.
28:59Sorry, Sir Keir.
29:00Any of his PR team are now in a frenzy.
29:02And they're going to say, you're going to have to start waving more.
29:04You're going to have to start doing more meet and greets.
29:07If you hadn't got it, Holly...
29:09You're welcome, Keir.
29:09You're welcome.
29:11Sally and Holly, here's your first.
29:15Medicine is the clue.
29:17So, at least three I's, two T's.
29:19OK, we can discuss that.
29:20Yeah, OK.
29:22Medicine, let's say...
29:23Let's think of the common ones.
29:26I'm not going to lie to you, don't know an awful lot past Calpol.
29:29Yes.
29:31Yeah.
29:32Three I's.
29:35I can't see it.
29:36I can.
29:37Of course you can.
29:41Two T's.
29:42Oh, my word.
29:43So, let's look at...
29:44So, what is it?
29:45It can't be carcinoma, it can't be...
29:47Yeah, that's literally where I...
29:48Medicine, that is it.
29:50It can't be anything that's too difficult now, is it?
29:53Um...
29:53Yeah, I don't think it's...
29:55Yeah, no, no, yeah.
29:56Time is ticking.
29:58OK, give me a minute.
29:59Give me a minute.
30:00I can't give you a minute.
30:01That is, um, no, I don't know, sorry.
30:06Ah, I feel bad because we're going to pass it over to a doctor.
30:10Yeah, let's feel it.
30:11Go on!
30:12I think we got this one within two seconds.
30:15Oh, right.
30:16We just have to redeem ourselves after the Keir Starmer moment.
30:20Antibiotic.
30:22Antibiotic.
30:22Yeah, it's a bit more visible.
30:24No one ever thinks about it.
30:25Perfect, yeah.
30:27Everyone goes to brand names, don't we?
30:28I was just looking at what was in my medical class.
30:31Carole Ranch, here's yours.
30:33We're enjoying this round, it's good.
30:35Heatmap, artist is the clue.
30:38And at least three Ns.
30:40Looking at the V.
30:42Salvador Dali and it's not.
30:45Michelangelo?
30:46No.
30:46No, it's got to have a V in it.
30:48How many artists have a V?
30:49I know, I just don't know.
30:50I'm just saying any artist, because it might give you a clue.
30:55Obviously, it's not Picasso.
30:57Hang on.
30:59OK, now I'm starting.
31:01You've got two Vs.
31:04Edvard Munch?
31:05No.
31:06How many artists have Vs in them?
31:09Van Gogh.
31:11That's only one.
31:12What was his first name?
31:14Vincent Van Gogh.
31:15It's Vincent Van Gogh.
31:16Yes, it is.
31:18Say it.
31:18Vincent Van Gogh.
31:20Yes.
31:20Is it Vincent Van Gogh?
31:23LAUGHTER
31:25I love the way.
31:26What was his first name?
31:27Wait a minute.
31:28It was brilliant.
31:29It was brilliant.
31:30I love that.
31:31It's Vincent.
31:32OK, Sally and Holly, here's your next one.
31:36Legendary singer-songwriter.
31:38So, at least three Ns.
31:41Sorry, it's John Lennon.
31:42Oh, wow.
31:43There you go.
31:44It's John Lennon.
31:45OK, right, just straight there.
31:47OK, you happy with that, Holly?
31:48It's quite prime minister of songwriters.
31:50John Lennon.
31:52Is it John Lennon?
31:53Let's have a look.
31:54Legend.
31:55Absolute legendary.
31:57Really exciting.
31:58Carol and Ranj, here's your next one.
32:02Liquid container.
32:03Oh.
32:05At least three T's.
32:07Water something.
32:08Water butt.
32:09Is that a...
32:11Yeah, it is actually a thing.
32:13I've never heard of a water butt.
32:15Have you never heard of it?
32:16No, it's that bad.
32:16It's like the big barrel that goes under the pipe outside a house.
32:21Water butt.
32:23That would make sense.
32:23Water butt.
32:24You want to give us?
32:26With two T's.
32:27Water butt with two T's.
32:28Is it water butt?
32:30But it is.
32:32OK, Sally and Holly, your next puzzle.
32:36Retaliation.
32:37Oh, I say.
32:39There's at least three T's.
32:42This is your last one.
32:44Retaliation.
32:45What about retaliation?
32:46I mean, that's vague.
32:49Vague retaliation.
32:51Fight back.
32:52Yeah, so that's the kind of thing I think they're talking about.
33:01It should be a straight up anagram, actually,
33:03because there's only one of every letter.
33:05Yeah, yeah.
33:07Yeah.
33:13Can you give me anything?
33:15Sorry, I can't see it.
33:19Buzz is coming.
33:21If you don't give me something.
33:24This is really annoying.
33:26OK, we pass it over.
33:29I was looking for something with traitor.
33:31Or thought.
33:35No.
33:35OK, so we go tit for tat.
33:38Oh.
33:39Oh.
33:40That's a tricky one, isn't it?
33:42We happy with that?
33:42Tit for tat?
33:43I mean, happy wouldn't be the word.
33:47There we are.
33:48At the end of that round of heat map,
33:50Sally and Holly are cooling down a bit.
33:51We're 28 points.
33:53Carol and Ranj are heating up with 33.
33:57Oh, wow.
33:58That's a rat tonight, though.
34:00Are you beating our celebrities so far?
34:02It is time for our penultimate round.
34:04In this round, both teams will tackle the letterbox again.
34:07They'll be taking turns.
34:09It's not a free-for-all.
34:10And listen up, because the fastest team to solve their puzzle this time
34:13will get two bonus points.
34:14And that could be very valuable because you're so close
34:17and because we then have the final round.
34:18So, all to play for now in Fernundrum.
34:23Let's see how it works.
34:25You will see three anagrams, each a letter longer than the one before.
34:27You've simply got to rearrange the tiles,
34:29starting with the shortest word.
34:31Tiger.
34:32Any guess?
34:32Tiger, yeah.
34:33Well done, Ash.
34:33So, it's just the example.
34:35Walked.
34:36That's correct.
34:38Now, Q, you can be helpful here.
34:40Quietly.
34:41Quietly.
34:42Well done.
34:43As ever, you'll be against the clock.
34:45So, as soon as you've solved the third anagram,
34:47hit the button to stop the clock.
34:48You'll score two points per solved word.
34:50So, Carol and Ranj, you're leading.
34:52Would you please head over to the letterbox first
34:54to face your penundrum?
34:58As soon as you solve the third penundrum,
35:00hit the button to stop the clock.
35:01Your time starts now.
35:02Chair.
35:04Er, what?
35:11Chair is right.
35:13You shout it out.
35:16Oh.
35:17Gosh, that's a tough one, isn't it?
35:19Um, car.
35:21Let's just swap them around
35:23and it might come, you know?
35:25Er, one, one.
35:27It's a six-letter word.
35:30Oh.
35:31I can't see it.
35:32I can't see it.
35:33It's a tough one, isn't it?
35:34Yeah.
35:34E-cato.
35:35E-cato.
35:37E-cato.
35:37E-cato.
35:38Ooh.
35:40E-c-en.
35:42It's not inact.
35:43No.
35:44Um.
35:45Oh, that's a tough one.
35:48E-cato.
35:50Oh.
35:51E-c-what's the thing?
35:52E-c-er.
35:53E-c-er.
35:54E-c-er.
35:55E-c-er.
35:59E-c-er.
35:59E-c-er.
36:00We're running out of time.
36:01Yeah.
36:02I hope we know.
36:03I'm sorry.
36:04E-c-er.
36:05E-c-er.
36:06E-c-er.
36:06E-c-er.
36:09E-c-er.
36:10E-c-er.
36:11E-c-er.
36:11E-c-er.
36:14E-c-er.
36:19E-c-er.
36:24E-c-er.
36:27We're trying to look at it at the same time.
36:29You're trying to look at it at the same time.
36:29E-C-er.
36:30E-c-er.
36:31E-c-er.
36:31It starts with a D.
36:33E-c.er.
36:34S-E-er.
36:34Dungeon.
36:35Dun.
36:35Yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:36I mean, you've got the N at the end.
36:37G-er.
36:37That's it, that's it.
36:38That's it.
36:39So, dungeon, octane, chaired.
36:41Listen, that was brutal, but then that's in the nature of celebrity puzzling.
36:45It's all fun and games until someone...
36:48gets hurt.
36:49As my mum used to say.
36:52Well done.
36:53Kerala Raj, you have got two points there.
36:56You didn't complete all three, so you'd miss out on those bonus points.
36:59Before Sally and Holly face their fenundrum,
37:02and before I run completely out of steam,
37:04we'll take a short break.
37:05Join us after this for the climax to tonight's celebrity puzzling.
37:12Here's a fenundrum for you to unscramble during the break.
37:16Get puzzling.
37:26Have you figured out this fenundrum?
37:29If you sold it, well done.
37:34Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling.
37:36I'm Jeremy Vine, and while I let that sink in,
37:38let me remind you it's now time for Sally and Holly to face their fenundrum.
37:43You'll have three new anagrams to solve,
37:44and remember, you must solve them in order.
37:46So, Carol and Ranj didn't quite do it.
37:49They were hit by the octane.
37:51Oh, two points.
37:52We weren't very high octane, were we?
37:54No, we weren't.
37:54You know what, it's made it really exciting now.
37:56Oh, gosh.
37:57That's what you did it for.
37:58The competition streak is coming out here with Holly.
38:01OK, if you complete all three words,
38:03you're guaranteed those two bonus points.
38:04That's what's great.
38:05Just do it before the buzzer.
38:06Remember, once you solve the anagrams,
38:08you must hit the red button.
38:09Good luck.
38:10Your time starts now.
38:13OK, size.
38:16Oh, no, it's not.
38:17Sees.
38:17Sees.
38:19Sees is correct.
38:21Spelled right as well.
38:23OK.
38:24I don't know why I want to put the anagrams.
38:27Is it a similator?
38:30Oh, no, it's not.
38:33Ample?
38:33Ample?
38:33No, no.
38:35Sample.
38:35Sample courses.
38:37Sample?
38:37Oh, no, no.
38:40Plasma.
38:41Plasma.
38:41Oh, Sally.
38:42Good shot.
38:43Well done.
38:44Crucial moment in the match, possibly.
38:46I can't even reach this one.
38:46OK.
38:48Golf.
38:50Feet.
38:51Was there G there?
38:53Tug.
38:54So what would it end with?
38:55Let's see what it would end with.
38:56Act.
38:57Act.
38:58Act.
38:58Or E.T.
38:59Or A.T.
39:00Oh, so...
39:02Fugitive.
39:05Fugitive.
39:15Fugitive.
39:16What would it end with?
39:18Ten seconds.
39:29Fatigue.
39:31You got it?
39:32Yeah.
39:33You did put fat, actually.
39:35And then you were like, oh, mate.
39:37Two more seconds.
39:38Yeah, two more seconds we would have got there.
39:40We were so...
39:40You felt like we were close.
39:42Oh.
39:42So head back to your seats.
39:44We'll check the scoreboard.
39:48So, Sally and Holly, you managed to add four points to your score.
39:51Very good.
39:51It means going into the final, the overall scores are Sally and Holly on 32,
39:57Carol and Ranj on 35.
40:01It is officially exciting now.
40:04We can confirm that.
40:05It comes down to this.
40:06It's time for our final round.
40:07Answer Bank.
40:11Sally and Holly, you've got a bit of catching up to do,
40:13but this is for all four of you to play in a moment.
40:15I'll show you a grid of 12 words.
40:17I'll then ask questions against the clock, buzz in and give me the correct answer,
40:20which could be a little bit lateral, like a crossword clue.
40:23If an answer has more than one word,
40:25you must give all the corresponding words in the correct order.
40:28You'll score a point per word.
40:29So it could add up to winning or losing the whole show on this.
40:33Well, it will.
40:33It will.
40:34Let's reveal the words on the Answer Bank.
40:36Second, third, Logan, Royce, Rose, Lucky, Slow, Time, Tyler, Hand, Stars, Rolls.
