00:00Hello, I'm Jeremy Vine. Once again, I'm allowing two teams of celebrities into my studio here to face a series
00:06of ever more difficult puzzles.
00:08Think of this show as a complete workout for both your body and mind, apart from the body.
00:12Unless you happen to be watching whilst on a treadmill, in which case feel the burn.
00:16This is Celebrity Puzzling!
00:34Hello, welcome to Celebrity Puzzling and also welcome to our team captains.
00:38First up, she's here to crunch numbers and crush dreams. It's Carol Vorderman.
00:43Oh yeah, don't be put off by that, you know, all of that stuff. She's brutal.
00:49Facing her tonight, soap star turned superstar, the ludicrously talented Miss Sally Lindsay is here.
00:56But who are the two celebrity guests teaming up with them tonight?
00:59Well, setting the pace with Carol is a double gold medal winning Paralympian who is staring down the face of,
01:04I guess, his biggest ever challenge here.
01:07Getting a word in edgeways alongside Miss Vorderman, Johnny Peacock!
01:12And with Sally is a quizzer known as the Vixen, hopefully from her red hair and not because she likes
01:18to rootle around your wheelie bin.
01:20From the chase, it's Jenny Ryan, no less.
01:24Welcome, welcome. You're used to a contest, Johnny, no doubt about that.
01:27I am, but not like this. I'd say I have a little bit more confidence on the track.
01:32How does it feel to be a double Paralympic champion?
01:34Wins in back-to-back Paralympics.
01:37Yeah, but it's been a while, so I've got to try and get another one.
01:40Training very hard. I had some slight blade issues over the last few years and some injuries, but I'm feeling
01:45very good at the moment.
01:46Yeah. Well, listen, I really hope to see you on the track in 2028, no doubt about that.
01:51Jenny, I know quizzes are competitive too.
01:54Oh, yes. Yeah, but it's very single-minded for most of us.
01:58You put a lot of pressure on yourself, and I think that's the same with sports people.
02:02You want to beat your personal best. That's the way I see it, anyway.
02:06Terrific. OK, in this game, no two contests are ever the same, because in each show, our teams face a
02:12random pick-and-mix of six bespoke, brain-busting puzzle games.
02:17Players, you'll be looking to build up as big a lead as possible before you have to face off in
02:21our thrilling final round.
02:22Answer Bank! And that can turn things around.
02:24Now, if it wasn't enough, for the winning celebrity guests, there's also the very real and present danger that you
02:29will walk off with this.
02:30We're going to see it in the screen now. It's what we call the Celebrity Puzzling Cube.
02:35Wow.
02:39Jenny wants the cube.
02:41I do. I think that would look really nice on my trophy shelf.
02:45Sounds like we're in for another corker, so let's get puzzling.
02:48The first game is Quick Blink, and you might miss it, because it's called Word Flash.
02:55So, in this round, you're going to be given a category, followed by some of the answers.
02:58Your job is to fill in the full answer.
02:59Here we have an example, 80s song.
03:02Now, you'll see the letters arrive and disappear, and other letters come in, and gradually it fills itself out.
03:08The something, maybe? The what?
03:10I know.
03:11Oh, go on.
03:12The final countdown.
03:12The final countdown.
03:15There we go.
03:17Let's get on with the round.
03:18That is how it works.
03:20It's time to play.
03:21Carol, Johnny, Sally, Jenny.
03:23Fingers on buzzers, please.
03:24Here we go.
03:25Be quick.
03:27Phrase is the clue.
03:33We've got an A and a T and a G.
03:35We've got three words.
03:36We've got...
03:37First word is eight letters.
03:38So, an eight-letter word.
03:43And five-letter words.
03:45And then, Jenny.
03:47Watching paint dry.
03:49Watching paint dry.
03:52Yes.
03:55Ooh, okay.
03:57I can see both our team captains thinking, she's got something.
04:02Fingers on buzzers.
04:04Here's your next.
04:04Don't pick me up yet.
04:07Some people can see it.
04:09Celestial phenomenon.
04:11Here's your phrase.
04:14The hidden letters.
04:19Four words.
04:20Five words.
04:21Jenny.
04:22Total eclipse of the sun.
04:24Wow.
04:25Is it a total eclipse of the sun?
04:29Oh.
04:31We've got a proper quizzer.
04:33Next one.
04:35Here we go.
04:36We're almost in a literal mood today.
04:38Football is the clue.
04:41You've got to be quick to beat Jenny.
04:45It's at least two words.
04:46The second word is long.
04:48The third word is quite long.
04:50Oh, Jenny again.
04:52Video assistant referee.
04:55Video assistant referee.
04:58Is it right?
04:59Yes.
05:00Did you write these?
05:01Yeah, yeah.
05:02It could have been the name of the player, right?
05:04It's incredible.
05:05Yeah, it could have been many things.
05:06There are lots of players with three names.
05:08Yeah, yeah.
05:08I didn't even know that you stood for that.
05:10On we go.
05:11Well done, Jenny.
05:11Here we go.
05:13Let's see if the vixen is on patrol here.
05:15Welsh landmark.
05:19Oh, blimey.
05:21Good grief.
05:22That's a long one.
05:24And then another one, not quite so long.
05:26There's an R and a C and an A somewhere.
05:27The letters are coming in.
05:28There's the R and a C again.
05:29There's an I there.
05:31Two, three.
05:32Carol.
05:34Principality Stadium.
05:36Principality Stadium, Miss Borderman.
05:38Yes.
05:38Let's see.
05:40Oh!
05:41It's wild.
05:43Okay.
05:44So, next one.
05:47A hearty meal.
05:49It's got a U.
05:50Four letters.
05:54Seven letters.
05:55Jenny.
05:56Full English breakfast.
05:57Full English.
05:58Oh, wow.
05:58And that is not even completed, if that's the right answer.
06:02Let's see.
06:04Oh!
06:05Your brain.
06:07So, next one.
06:09TV drama.
06:12Four letters.
06:14Then five.
06:17Then two.
06:19And seven.
06:20An S, an A, a G, an N.
06:22And help.
06:23Jenny again.
06:25Last Tango in Halifax.
06:26Last Tango in Halifax.
06:29Is that right?
06:33We've got a Supernatural player here.
06:37All right.
06:37Let's see.
06:37Because all the games are different.
06:39But that's a good start for Sally and Jenny.
06:42At the end of that round, Carol and Johnny have got two points.
06:45Sally and Jenny are already on ten.
06:48You can hear the motors revving.
06:52Don't go into surrender position.
06:53I can contribute one.
06:54This is doable for you two.
06:56I know how you play.
06:57I've seen you play before.
06:58Were you quicker than our celebrities than the vixen on the buzzer?
07:02If you are, you might like to consider doing it professionally.
07:05Our teams will both get to have a go at this next puzzle without their rivals interfering.
07:10This is a game where it's easy to get a little bit lost.
07:12So, we are playing Path Words.
07:16So, here's how it looks.
07:17So, you're going to see three rows of five jumbled letters, which must be rearranged to complete three words.
07:22Letters highlighted are locked in place, while the letters on physical tiles are those to be rearranged.
07:27But the tiles can only be moved vertically within their column.
07:30So, the answers here are?
07:33Anyone?
07:33Move them vertically.
07:35Crest.
07:36Okay.
07:37Guests.
07:37Any guesses want to give it a go?
07:39And then...
07:41Spark.
07:42Spark.
07:43Spark.
07:43Okay.
07:44Yeah.
07:44See, yes.
07:46Okay.
07:46And amber.
07:47Okay.
07:47Crest, spark, amber.
07:49You're against the clock to complete all three words.
07:51So, Sally and Jenny, let's head over to the letterbox now to play Path Words.
07:55Okay.
07:58Sally and Jenny, in your first puzzle, the first letter of each word plus two extra letters will be locked.
08:03Once you're happy, press the buzzer for three points.
08:05Here is your first Path Words.
08:12You can see the lock letters.
08:13You can see the lock letters.
08:16Break.
08:19Break.
08:19Break.
08:19Is that all that is?
08:19Yeah, break.
08:21Brave?
08:21Brave?
08:21Oh, oh, oh.
08:23So...
08:23Oh, is that?
08:23No, that doesn't work, though, does it?
08:25Because what's that?
08:29Tide.
08:30No.
08:30Tide.
08:31No, that's not correct here.
08:32No, that's not right.
08:33Um...
08:33Break.
08:35Tidey.
08:36Oh, no, that's not right.
08:37Now, right?
08:37Lucky, maybe?
08:39Lucky, yeah.
08:41Lucky.
08:42Okay.
08:43And tides.
08:44And brave.
08:44There we go.
08:45Oh, thought we weren't going to get there, then.
08:48There we go.
08:49Well done to the two of you there.
08:51That was very stressful.
08:53It's not as easy as you want to do.
08:55Brave, tides, and lucky are your three words.
08:57Well done.
08:58Well within time.
08:59You've got it.
09:00So it's going to get a bit harder now because we'll lock one letter for you.
09:03For your trouble, this one is worth four points.
09:05Here it is.
09:05Your time starts now.
09:09Okay, what could this be?
09:10Should we get this on first?
09:11Okay, so it's probably not the I.
09:15Ripen.
09:16Ripen.
09:17Okay.
09:17Okay, so then what have we got?
09:19So that can't be T-L.
09:21G-L.
09:21G-L.
09:23Glade.
09:24Glade.
09:25And that would be touch.
09:26No.
09:27Is it?
09:28Glade.
09:28Yeah.
09:29Is it?
09:30Yeah.
09:31Touch.
09:31Oh, yeah.
09:32Oh, yeah.
09:33Okay.
09:33Well done.
09:34Well done.
09:35Glade.
09:35Good stuff.
09:37Come together with touch.
09:39Oh, blimey.
09:40Application of logic and purpose.
09:43Glade, ripen and touch are your three words.
09:46Well done both.
09:47This is, it's quizzing by another name, isn't it, Jenny, or something?
09:51This is much more stressful.
09:53He's actually, I can tell it's not coming.
09:55No.
09:56I know how unbelievably brilliant you are, and you're actually having to go, oh, hang on.
10:00You're having to dive the brainwaves a different way.
10:03Different way, yeah.
10:04Yeah.
10:04That's the busy mind, isn't it?
10:06Okay, we're cranking up the difficulty in the third puzzle.
10:08We'll only lock the first letter per word, but the correct answer is worth a whopping five
10:13points for you.
10:14So, Sally and Jenny, your time starts now.
10:19So, it can't be M-H.
10:22So, it's got to be M-C-H is more likely.
10:24C-H-M-O.
10:28C-H-M.
10:28C-H-M.
10:29C-H-M.
10:31No.
10:31C-H-M.
10:32It can't be C-H-M either, so.
10:34No.
10:35Okay.
10:36So, is that, is that?
10:37Money.
10:38Money.
10:38Oh, yeah.
10:39Money.
10:40Money.
10:40Okay, so what's going on here?
10:42Um, uh, frail.
10:46Fruit.
10:46Frail?
10:47It's what?
10:48Frail?
10:49And what does that make?
10:51Shoot.
10:52Is that a word?
10:52Shoot.
10:53Like a parachute.
10:54Is that a word?
10:54Yeah.
10:55Oh, within ten seconds.
10:58Well done.
10:59Yeah, and shoot, obviously the classic being the garbage disposal shoot or whatever.
11:04Shoot, yes, of course it is.
11:04Frail, money, shoot.
11:06Sounds like my central heating system.
11:07It does.
11:08We are finding the names of new wave bands every day here.
11:12It's really a great thing.
11:14So, how did you get on there?
11:15Did you manage to beat Sally and Jenny, who played a great game?
11:17Well, within time, your trip to the Letterboxd has scored you the maximum 12 points.
11:21Well done, both.
11:22Thanks, thank you.
11:22Carol and Johnny, are we ready for this?
11:25It's a tight old contest.
11:27Before they get to play Pathwords and bask in the glow of some long overdue screen time,
11:32we need to take a break.
11:33Join us back here after the ads.
11:35I'll keep your seat warm for you, I promise.
11:37See you in a couple of minutes.
11:41Have a go at this Pathwords puzzle.
11:43Swap the letters in just one column to reveal the answers.
11:47Choose wisely.
12:00Did you manage to solve this Pathwords puzzle?
12:04If you did, well done.
12:10Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling.
12:11I'm Jeremy Vine.
12:12I've got no more to say on it.
12:14I'm just Jeremy Vine.
12:15And we love you.
12:16I don't want to say that.
12:17It doesn't feel right for me to say that.
12:19Icon.
12:19You do, don't you, Sam?
12:20Icon.
12:21Icon.
12:21Yes.
12:22Legend.
12:23Well, listen, okay.
12:24All things puzzle are pootling along nicely here so far.
12:27Thanks for asking.
12:28Now it's time for Carol and Johnny to try and bank some points.
12:31And it's fair to say, we know, they know, we know, you're in a contest with those two.
12:35We are.
12:36We are in a proper scrap.
12:37So you mustn't mess up at any stage.
12:40Thanks.
12:40You're going to see.
12:40Carol, that's on you, yeah.
12:42That's going to see.
12:42No, no, you're vital.
12:44I know.
12:44She works off you.
12:46You've got to understand.
12:46On her own, she's nothing.
12:48I do.
12:48Just energy.
12:49Just give you something.
12:49That's right.
12:50There you go.
12:50Yeah.
12:51Very quickly on the rules.
12:52You see three rows of five jumbled letters, which must be rearranged to complete three five-letter words.
12:57Letters highlighted are locked.
12:59The letters on physical tiles are the ones you can move, but only vertically within their column.
13:04You've got 45 seconds to complete all three words.
13:07Carol and Johnny in your first puzzle, the first letter per word, plus two extra letters will be locked.
13:12For three points, here is your first password.
13:17Okay.
13:18Well, let's put that in.
13:22Sure.
13:24That's sure.
13:26Sure.
13:26Okay.
13:27What's this?
13:28Seashore.
13:29Pasta.
13:31Pasta.
13:31Fine.
13:33Yep.
13:34That's it.
13:35I didn't even say the word.
13:37No, but you were helping.
13:38Johnny, honestly, I promise you.
13:40You were, Johnny.
13:40Honestly, it does help.
13:41She's not the same without the peacock.
13:44Sure.
13:45Climb.
13:46Pasta.
13:46As we saw earlier, the difficulty increases as we lock the first letters and only one extra
13:50letter.
13:51It's four points this time, Johnny.
13:52Here it is.
13:53Your time starts.
13:54I'm getting one.
13:54Now.
13:57Okay.
13:58Let's try that.
13:59Blink.
14:00Blink.
14:00Blink.
14:00Blink.
14:01Very good.
14:01Well done, Johnny.
14:02Good.
14:02Very, very good.
14:04You carry on trying to work it out while I'm doing that.
14:06Blink.
14:08Blink.
14:08Blink.
14:08What would that be?
14:10A rope.
14:10What?
14:11Sorry, a wope, but that's not a word.
14:14No.
14:16No, that's got to be W.
14:18Right.
14:19Ah, a rope.
14:20A rope.
14:21Have it gone wrong with Blink, maybe?
14:23Maybe that's not right.
14:24That's not right, yeah.
14:27So what would that be?
14:30A rope.
14:31A rope?
14:32Not long left.
14:33Less than ten seconds.
14:35This is not going well.
14:37So, Brink.
14:38Come on, guys.
14:40Oh.
14:42I can't think of anything.
14:44Actually, it's not Blink or Brink, it's Brick.
14:48Oh, no.
14:50You're wrong for listening to me, Carol.
14:51There you go.
14:52So, Brick, Alone, Sweats.
14:55And it just shows, once you go off the rails in this one, there's plenty of time to come
15:00good here.
15:01Okay.
15:01It gets harder again.
15:02This time, I'm only going to lock the first letter of each word.
15:05I can promise you Brick won't be in there, though.
15:07Solving the puzzle will be worth five points.
15:09If you're ready, Johnny, Carol, your time starts now.
15:14Okay.
15:15Shout things out.
15:16Okay.
15:17What might it be?
15:19I'd say that.
15:22I'd say that.
15:23Close.
15:23Yeah, close.
15:24Uh, Cloud.
15:27Let's try that.
15:30Who?
15:30Cloud.
15:31Cloud.
15:32And then Mason and Tiger.
15:34Let's do this.
15:35You help me here.
15:36Mason and Tiger and Cloud.
15:39Okay, right.
15:40Oh, Christ, okay.
15:42I think we might have ten points after this round.
15:47You're playing well.
15:47Puzzling well.
15:48So, we'll see the scores in just a moment.
15:50Please head back to your seats.
15:55So, how many puzzles did you solve at home?
15:57Carol and Johnny, your visit to the letterbox scored you eight points.
16:01Eight lovely points, Carol.
16:03Let's see what that's done to the scores overall.
16:06So, Carol and Johnny, you've got ten.
16:08You've broken through to ten.
16:09Yes.
16:09Good.
16:10Sally and Jenny are on twenty-two.
16:13Okay.
16:13Just drink that in there.
16:15Sally.
16:16Okay, quiz on.
16:17Let's play our next puzzle.
16:18This one is the puzzle equivalent of hide and seek.
16:21It's time for our learned guests to tackle hidden answer.
16:26So, this is how it works in this game.
16:28The answer will be there right in front of you, though, sadly, it's a bit jumbled up.
16:31And you'll see a puzzle word on the left followed by a clue on the right.
16:34In this instance, the puzzle word is naive and the clue is plant.
16:39So, somewhere in naive are the letters of something for which plant is a clue.
16:44Is it vine?
16:46As in Jeremy.
16:47As in Tim.
16:48That would be funny, wouldn't it?
16:49Is it vine?
16:50Yes.
16:54Yes, you're right.
16:54I couldn't even get it when it was my own name.
16:58Imagine if the answer was...
16:59You thought I was taking the Mickey, though, didn't you?
17:01Imagine if the answer was Lindsay and you didn't get it.
17:03What a monkey feel.
17:05Yes.
17:06That was an example.
17:06No points on offer there.
17:07Let's do it for real.
17:08So, Carol and Johnny, here's your first one.
17:10Good luck to you both.
17:11We've got two words for you.
17:14Cargo's award.
17:15The clue is award.
17:18Come on, Johnny.
17:19Offer me something.
17:20I can offer you not much award that would be...
17:24Try and jumble them up.
17:26Oh, Oscar.
17:28Oscar.
17:29Yeah.
17:29Very good.
17:30Oh, an Oscar, says Johnny.
17:31Let's have a look.
17:32Is it Oscar?
17:34Well done.
17:35Good work.
17:36I appreciate that.
17:37I didn't get it.
17:38Sally and Jenny, now it's your turn.
17:40Here we go.
17:40Play together.
17:41Conferring is fine.
17:43Pawned magical equipment.
17:45And magical equipment is the clue.
17:48Magical equipment?
17:49Equipment, so that's...
17:50It's not a broomstick.
17:51No.
17:52Magical equipment.
17:53Oh, I know.
17:55Is it wand?
17:56Wand.
17:57Is it wand?
18:00It is wand.
18:02Good.
18:03Get ready.
18:04Carol and Johnny, here's your next one.
18:06Here we go.
18:08Adulterers riches.
18:11So riches is the clue.
18:14Gold.
18:15Gold.
18:16Riches.
18:17Money, no.
18:18I don't know what.
18:18I don't know.
18:19No, it's shitting.
18:21Gold.
18:22Hmm.
18:25Mindless.
18:28Any ideas?
18:29Go on, Johnny, offer me something.
18:31You always get it when you offer something.
18:32No, it's in my mind.
18:33That's the thing.
18:34And I can't see anything.
18:35Anything?
18:36I can't see.
18:38No.
18:39No, Jeremy.
18:40Nothing.
18:41I can't see anything there that's to do with riches.
18:45No, if you've got, if you really have got nothing.
18:48Nothing.
18:48Then, all right.
18:50We take that as a wrong answer.
18:51We give it over as a steal, but you have to answer now.
18:54Treasure.
18:54Is it treasure?
18:56Ah.
18:57Yes, treasure.
18:59I was nowhere near treasure.
19:02No, I was nowhere near treasure either.
19:04Sally and Jenny, here's your next puzzle.
19:06Pressure's on them.
19:08Notepaper gas.
19:09Oh, okay.
19:10Gas is the clue.
19:13There's no L.
19:14There's no L.
19:14Oh, no.
19:15Oh, no, it's not then.
19:17I was thinking it might be neon, but there's only one N.
19:19Oh, my goodness.
19:22This is horrible.
19:24Gas, gas, gas, gas, gas.
19:30Oh, is it propane?
19:32Ah.
19:33Yeah.
19:34It's all in there, isn't it?
19:35P-R.
19:36Yeah.
19:36Yeah.
19:38Propane.
19:39Propane?
19:39If that's not right, I'm walking out.
19:44Yes, well done.
19:46That was a good, good answer.
19:49Not easy at all.
19:50Gas propane.
19:51Carol and Johnny, here's your final one.
19:53Let's keep the comeback going if you can.
19:55Super chic entertainment.
19:57Oh, picture.
19:59So, the clue is entertainment.
20:01What do you think, Johnny?
20:02You see, I'm just not built for this.
20:05Entertainment.
20:06I keep looking at it like it's an anagram and trying to make a long word out.
20:11So, not these are tricky, but interesting.
20:13That's not helping me, right?
20:13Um, entertainment.
20:15Super chic.
20:17No, I'm just saying purr and I can't put anything that doesn't say purr.
20:22Entertainment.
20:23Uh, no, we haven't got it, Jeremy.
20:25I'll put this out of balance.
20:26Okay.
20:27We go over to the other team.
20:28Need to be quick, though.
20:29The band Chic.
20:30They're entertaining.
20:31Yeah, Chic.
20:32Yeah, that's a good thought.
20:33Say that.
20:34Okay, Chic.
20:34Let's give the answer Chic.
20:35Brilliant, yeah.
20:36Let's have a look at the answer.
20:39Circus.
20:40Circus.
20:41Okay.
20:42Okay.
20:42Very well hidden, the word circus.
20:44That was brutal.
20:45Final hidden answer puzzle is for Sally and Jenny.
20:49It's a great round, this one.
20:50Let's see if you can get this.
20:51Wheelbarrow monkey.
20:52Monkey is the clue.
20:54Somewhere in the world, wheelbarrow.
20:55I do know my monkeys, though.
20:57Come on, then.
20:58Howler.
20:59A what?
20:59Howler monkey.
21:01Howler.
21:01That's in there, isn't it?
21:01H-O-W-L.
21:03Yeah, howler.
21:03That's a type of monkey.
21:04Is it?
21:05Yeah.
21:06Oh.
21:06Okay.
21:08Howler.
21:08Howler.
21:09Howler.
21:10Okay.
21:11Jenny says howler.
21:12Howler's the type of monkey.
21:13Let's see if it's in there.
21:15Yes, the howler monkey.
21:18Not in about 4,000 years would I have got that.
21:21No.
21:21You're playing at a level here.
21:23We don't see very often.
21:24Howler.
21:24I know my monkeys.
21:25It's howler.
21:26Who else in the world would say that?
21:28No.
21:29Far from Jenny.
21:30I thought it was going to be too smart.
21:32I know my monkeys.
21:32Did you say, I know my monkeys, and then she said howler?
21:35Yeah.
21:35Yeah.
21:36All right.
21:37Okay.
21:37At the end of that round, Carol and Johnny have 12 points.
21:40Sally and Jenny have got 320.
21:4429.
21:47We've had 17-point gaps before.
21:50No, we haven't, Jerry.
21:51We've had, okay, they haven't been overturned, but they could be, and it's possible that Jenny
21:56could blow a gasket.
21:57Time for another break.
21:58See you in a few minutes.
22:03Why don't you have a go at home?
22:04Find the starting point to solve the clue and complete this around-the-block puzzle.
22:09Get puzzling.
22:21Have you solved this around-the-block brain teaser?
22:25If you did, great job.
22:31Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling.
22:32And just like, take that, this time we're back for good.
22:35Or until the end of this part anyway, whichever comes first.
22:38Carol and Sally are resident team captains, have been jostling puzzle by puzzle alongside
22:43their esteemed guests, Paralympian Johnny Peacock and quiz ringer Jenny Ryan.
22:49Now is the time Johnny and Jenny get to go head-to-head.
22:51This round is just for them.
22:53All their team captains can do is look on like that through perfectly manicured fingers.
22:59It's Paralympic gold versus strawberry blonde.
23:02As Johnny takes on Jenny in Join the Dots.
23:08OK, so on the screen you're shown a puzzle consisting of a category and a series of dots.
23:14Let's give one a spin.
23:15Here we are, furniture.
23:17What are we looking at here?
23:18On my queue, the lines will join the dots, quite literally.
23:23And you shout it out.
23:25When you see it, guests.
23:27Dining table.
23:28Dining table, it looks like it might be.
23:30Let's have a look.
23:30Here we go.
23:31There we are.
23:32So the furniture.
23:33That's all there is to it.
23:34But you're against each other.
23:36So your elbows are better be off the table and sharp for this round.
23:39And don't sit too comfortably because only the first player to buzz in and give the correct
23:43answer will score the two points.
23:45If a player buzzes incorrectly with their answer, the animation will freeze and their opponent
23:49has a chance to steal for one point.
23:52So be quick but be right.
23:54OK, you've seen how this works.
23:55There are five puzzles to solve.
23:56Fingers on buzzers.
23:57Just our guests, please.
23:59Johnny and Jenny.
24:00Here we go.
24:02The category TV scientist.
24:05Johnny.
24:06Brian Cox.
24:07Brian Cox.
24:09I think you might be right.
24:11Let's have a look.
24:15This is why you love this round.
24:17I know you do.
24:18It's your thing.
24:19I'm happy now.
24:20Fingers on buzzers.
24:21Next one, please.
24:24Starter.
24:28Jenny.
24:29Prawn cocktail.
24:30Oh, you buzzed early.
24:31Is it prawn cocktail?
24:33Yes, it is.
24:34Well done.
24:34That was just word association.
24:36Starter, prawn cocktail.
24:37Are there any other status on there?
24:39Yeah.
24:40So here's the next one.
24:42UK institution.
24:43It could be anything.
24:44It could be this programme.
24:48Johnny.
24:49Oh.
24:51No, it's gone.
24:52All right.
24:53No, yeah.
24:54Out of time.
24:55Jenny.
24:56Royal Mint.
24:57Let's see if it's right.
25:00Yes, it's right.
25:02Action station.
25:03It's time for another.
25:04Here we go.
25:05The celebrities are really puzzling.
25:07Artists.
25:08So many to choose from.
25:11Jenny.
25:12Salvador Dali.
25:14Oh, is it Salvador Dali?
25:19That's like the length of the words in comparison
25:22as much as anything.
25:23OK, next one.
25:25Card game.
25:28Three words.
25:29There they go.
25:30Little lines forming.
25:31Oh.
25:33Jenny.
25:34Five card stud.
25:36Five card stud.
25:38Let's see.
25:42You want to play that, Johnny?
25:43No, I was going to say, I've got five card,
25:45but I had no clue what that game even is.
25:47What is five card stud?
25:48It would be a variety of poker.
25:50So stud poker and hold'em poker are two of the main types of poker.
25:55OK.
25:56Well done, Johnny.
25:57Well done, Jenny.
25:58A fiercely contested round.
25:59Let's see what that's done to the overall scores.
26:02Carol and Johnny are on 14.
26:05Sally and Jenny are on 36.
26:10Our next puzzle is all about making some serious shapes
26:13because it's shape shifters.
26:16Oh, I like this.
26:17So we'll see an example of how this works.
26:19You will see a grid of answers, a question,
26:20and a corresponding shape.
26:22You simply give me the correct answers
26:23that fit exactly inside the shape.
26:25And you cannot, Carol...
26:27Rotate the shape.
26:28You cannot rotate the shape.
26:30Places less than 100 miles from Cardiff.
26:32So the places less than...
26:34Are Bristol, Swansea, Bath.
26:36New York is further.
26:38Swansea and Birmingham.
26:39Birmingham must just be...
26:41Swansea, Birmingham.
26:42Let's see if that's right.
26:43Swansea and Birmingham.
26:44Yeah.
26:45You're right.
26:46So Swansea, 34 miles.
26:48Birmingham, 88.
26:49In orange, we show the other ones that count,
26:51and obviously the other ones have a hell of a long way away.
26:53So that was just the example.
26:55Coincidentally, that grid is also the list
26:57of all the towns and cities Carol is banned from.
27:04Sally and Jenny, you're up first.
27:06This is your parcel for two points.
27:08Here we go.
27:09So Italian landmarks, and we've got one next to the other.
27:13OK, so obviously it's not Acropolis,
27:15it's not Christ the Redeemer.
27:17No.
27:17So it's going to be...
27:18It's Colosseum, yes, it could be.
27:20But the Hagia Sophia is in Turkey.
27:22Which is not...
27:23So it's Mount Vesuvius.
27:25The Trevi Fountain is the one you throw the coins into in Rome.
27:30Yeah, babies and stuff.
27:32So is that in it?
27:33It's got to be that, yeah.
27:35Yeah?
27:35Yeah.
27:36It is, Jebry Vine, Mount Vesuvius and the Trevi Fountain.
27:41Let's see the answer.
27:42Mount Vesuvius and the Trevi Fountain.
27:45Hey!
27:46Good.
27:47Well done for two points there.
27:49I've just coloured in, in orange, the other ones that are Italian landmarks.
27:53Pisa, of course.
27:54Colosseum is in Rome.
27:56Carol and Johnny, here is your first Shapeshifters puzzle.
28:01Sherlock Holmes stories.
28:02Oh, I love this.
28:03OK, watch the shape here.
28:05You can't rotate it.
28:06It's one and then one up diagonally.
28:09OK, so Sherlock Holmes, Hand of the Baskervilles is one of them.
28:13OK.
28:14Death on the Nile is Agatha Christie.
28:16Yeah, Agatha Christie.
28:16So it's not that.
28:17So we've sort of, you know, coloured out three of them.
28:21So it's...
28:23It's not Glass Onion either, is it?
28:24Because that's the new film.
28:25I'm going A Study in Scarlet and Hand of the Baskervilles.
28:30All right.
28:31So let's have a look.
28:32Are you right?
28:32A Study in Scarlet and the Hound of the Baskervilles.
28:36Yeah.
28:36Yes, well done.
28:39So I'll show you in orange the others that were Sherlock Holmes stories,
28:43but not in the right position.
28:45Yes, you're right, Sally.
28:46Cyanophore and Scandal in Bohemia.
28:48So, OK, Sally and Jenny, here's your second puzzle.
28:51The shape has increased, so you now need to find three answers in the grid
28:54that match the shape, and we've made the grid bigger.
28:56It's a toughie.
28:57Three points, though, for you if you get it.
28:59Clowns.
29:00Oh, hello.
29:00Here we go.
29:01Pennywise is...
29:02Grimaldi is...
29:02Jean Simmons is in Kiss.
29:06Grimaldi is...
29:07But Penny...
29:07So hang on, this is interesting.
29:08Chico was on X Factor.
29:10Grimaldi is like the OG clown,
29:13and Krusty is a clown in The Simpsons.
29:16I think that...
29:17Oh, OK.
29:18So it's Krusty...
29:20Oh, no, Krusty isn't Pennywise,
29:21but I didn't know Grimaldi was.
29:23He's a clown?
29:24Yeah, so it's definitely that then.
29:26I think a 19th century...
29:27Right, he's the...
29:29He's the character of, like, modern clowning,
29:31as we know it.
29:32And Krusty, definitely, and Pennywise.
29:34Go on, Jen.
29:35Pennywise, Joseph Grimaldi, and Krusty.
29:38Is it right?
29:39Pennywise, Joseph Grimaldi, and Krusty?
29:43Yeah, very good.
29:44So you're right.
29:45Pennywise, of course, from It, let's not even think about that.
29:48Joseph Grimaldi, 19th century English clown performer,
29:52so one of the, you know, forerunners,
29:54and Krusty is the clown of The Simpsons.
29:56So those are the correct answers.
29:57I'll show you in orange the other potentially correct answers,
30:00but not in the right position.
30:01Oh, yeah.
30:02Of course, Ronald McDonald.
30:03Fisbo is the clown in modern family.
30:06OK, Carol, Johnny, for three points.
30:08Here's yours.
30:09OK, Johnny.
30:10This is it.
30:11We're on the blocks.
30:12Oh, Mr. Men.
30:13So we want three in a line.
30:15Three in a line.
30:16Well, it's not Mr. T, and it's not Mr. Blobby,
30:19so we can cross those out.
30:22It's not Mr. Bean.
30:23Not Mr. Brightside.
30:25And it's not Mr. Ben.
30:28I will go with Clumsy Chatterbox and Bounce.
30:31Yeah.
30:31Much as we'd love Mr. Bean to be in there,
30:35because we adore him,
30:37we're going Clumsy Chatterbox and Mr. Bounce.
30:42Well, let's see if it's right.
30:43Mr. Clumsy, Mr. Chatterbox, Mr. Bounce.
30:45Is it right?
30:47Yay!
30:49Yes.
30:49Well done, you.
30:51And then we've got others in orange.
30:55Mr. Nosy, Mr. Jelly, Mr. Messy.
30:57All would have counted had they been in the right position.
31:00Sally and Jenny, here's your final one.
31:01It's a slightly larger grid this time,
31:03but you're still looking for three answers that match the shape.
31:05Ricky Gervais, film and TV.
31:07OK, so...
31:08He's in The Office and Afterlife.
31:10So he's in The Office and Afterlife.
31:11Peep, so he's not.
31:12Fleabag, he's not.
31:13Muppets, so he's one.
31:14He's in Muppets, but he's one.
31:15Inside No. 9 is not.
31:17So the shapes are Night at the Museum,
31:18Cemetery Junction, is he in that?
31:21Let's try and rule out the other one.
31:22He's in The Invention of Lion, but not Love Actually.
31:25Right, OK.
31:26I don't think he's in Inside No. 9 at all.
31:28Oh, he's definitely not in Inside No. 9.
31:29Cemetery Junction sounds right.
31:32The other shapes, I can't see.
31:33He's not in Superbad, so that rules like that corner.
31:36He's not in Johnny Unger, he's not in 24,
31:37he's not in Love Actually.
31:38He's got to be by the process of elimination.
31:41Night at the Museum,
31:43Puppets Most Wanted is in it.
31:46Yeah.
31:47Cemetery Junction, which I've never heard of,
31:48but I'm sure he's in that and brilliant in it.
31:50Yeah.
31:50So we're going to go for that part.
31:51Yeah.
31:52Night at the Museum,
31:54Cemetery Junction,
31:56and Muppets Most Wanted.
31:58Wow.
31:59It certainly fits the shape.
32:00Is it the right answer?
32:01Muppets Most Wanted,
32:02Cemetery Junction,
32:03Night at the Museum.
32:05Yes, it is.
32:06Well done.
32:08Tell me the other ones he's in, then,
32:11that you think.
32:11Afterlife, obviously.
32:12Yes, Afterlife.
32:13Intention of The Invention of Lying, sorry.
32:15The Invention of Lying, he's in, yes.
32:16Derek, he's in.
32:17The Office.
32:18The Office, obviously.
32:19Afterlife.
32:20One more, actually.
32:21Oh, erm...
32:22Weirdly.
32:2324?
32:2424?
32:24Is he in 24?
32:26Wow.
32:26Yeah.
32:27Wow.
32:27He's got some sort of cameo role in it.
32:29Yeah?
32:29Did he?
32:30Carol and Johnny, for three points,
32:31here's yours.
32:34Contains or flavoured with almonds?
32:37Oh, I know.
32:38Amaretto is almond liqueur.
32:40Mm-hmm.
32:42Bakewell Tart definitely has almonds in.
32:45I don't even know what a Linz-a-Tort is, though.
32:46I don't know what a Linz-a-Tort is,
32:48but that currently is my guess.
32:51Dundee Cake.
32:53Actually, it does have almonds on the top,
32:57but tiramisu doesn't.
32:59No.
32:59Okay.
33:00Eccles Cake.
33:01So, at the moment,
33:03I'm going Amaretto, Bakewell Tart,
33:05and Linz-a-Tort, but I don't know.
33:06Yeah, the process of elimination, yeah.
33:08So, Amaretto, Bakewell Tart,
33:11and the Torte, please.
33:14Amaretto, Bakewell Tart, and the Torte is your answer.
33:16Let's see if you're right.
33:18Yay!
33:19Well done.
33:20You're still very much in it.
33:21Well done.
33:21What else here contains almonds?
33:24Let's have a look.
33:26So, here we go.
33:27Okay.
33:27Pari, breast, pastry, Dundee Cake, marzipan.
33:30The other ones don't.
33:31At the end of that round,
33:32Carol and Johnny have 22 points.
33:34Sally and Jenny have double.
33:3644.
33:37But it's still doable.
33:39Double just hug it, though.
33:40Are you beating our celebrities?
33:42Have you vanquished the vixen?
33:44Time for our penultimate round.
33:46In this one, both teams will head on down to the letterbox one by one.
33:50Here's something extra to chew over.
33:52The team that solves their puzzle the fastest in this one
33:54will receive two bonus points.
33:56That's not too shabby at this late stage.
33:58You could do with that, Carol and Johnny.
33:59Let's play Fernundrum.
34:03And I'll show you how this works.
34:05You will see three anagrams,
34:06each a letter longer than the one before.
34:07You must rearrange the tiles
34:09to solve the five-letter anagram
34:11before moving on to the six and so on.
34:12So, any ideas from our visiting friends?
34:16Bluff, yeah?
34:16Okay.
34:17Jenny, any idea on the second one?
34:19Pardon?
34:20Pardon?
34:21Yeah.
34:22Johnny or Jenny on the last?
34:23What do we think that is?
34:25Triumph.
34:26Go on, triumph.
34:27Okay, triumph.
34:28Yeah, that's it.
34:29Simple as that.
34:30And you've got to do it within time.
34:31And as I say, if you do it quickly,
34:33you've got a chance of winning the bonus
34:35and your team will really enjoy that bonus moment,
34:38I think.
34:39I can feel it.
34:40You'll be against the clock.
34:41As soon as you've solved the third anagram,
34:44just hit the button to stop the clock.
34:45You'll score two points per solved word.
34:47Sally and Jenny, you're leading.
34:49Please head over to the letterbox to face your fenundrum.
34:55As soon as you solve the third fenundrum,
34:57hit the button to stop the clock.
34:58Your time starts now.
35:00Okay, what's this?
35:02Oh.
35:03Um.
35:04Let me have a look at that one.
35:05Oh, no, we've got to do this one first, haven't we?
35:07Um.
35:09Yeah.
35:11Blimey, this is interesting.
35:13Is that the Y?
35:14At the end?
35:15Try to put the Y at the end.
35:17No.
35:18No.
35:19Oh.
35:19Oh, hang on.
35:20You know?
35:21Is it no?
35:21No.
35:21Is it non?
35:23No, no, no.
35:23No, no, no.
35:27Annoy, annoy, annoy.
35:28That's just annoying.
35:29It's so annoying.
35:31Okay, this one.
35:33Well done.
35:34Um.
35:38Glick.
35:39Glick.
35:39Tap the apple.
35:40No.
35:42Tip, tip, pull, P-L.
35:47No, tip, pull, no.
35:53Glick.
35:54Glick.
35:55Ellie, Ellie, something.
35:56Piglet.
35:57Piglet.
35:59Piglet.
36:00Okay.
36:01Well done, second one done.
36:04Content, no, that's not right.
36:05Is it?
36:06There's no end.
36:07Oh, yeah.
36:08Uh.
36:09What's at the end?
36:09What could be on the end?
36:10And on something.
36:12Um.
36:14Come.
36:14Not much time.
36:16Ah.
36:18Oh, concept.
36:20Oh.
36:20Okay.
36:21Need to be quick now.
36:24Oh, you're not there.
36:26And you were so nearly there.
36:27But you did get two.
36:28And God, we found your only weakness, Jenny.
36:31I was dreading this one.
36:32Concept, no, she's there.
36:33She's not your thing.
36:34She's human.
36:36So mad at myself.
36:37Oh, my goodness.
36:38They kind of think if you see it right away.
36:42I saw earlier that you were struggling.
36:43Annoy, actually, in fairness, was very hard to see.
36:45So you scored four at the letterbox.
36:48Unfortunately, you didn't complete all three, so you miss out on the bonus points.
36:52It gives Carol and Johnny a bit of a way in.
36:54A little.
36:55Well, yes.
36:56I'm hoping.
36:57Before these two walk into the face of adversity to play Fernandrum, we should probably squeeze
37:01in a swift ad break.
37:02So join us after this for the final chapter of tonight's Celebrity Puzzling.
37:09Why don't you try unscrambling the letters to solve this Fernandrum?
37:13Get puzzling.
37:27Have you figured out this Fernandrum?
37:31Well done if you got it right.
37:35Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling.
37:37This episode is finally poised, going into the last few puzzles.
37:40Carol and Johnny, it's now your turn to face the Fernandrum.
37:43You'll have three new anagrams to solve.
37:45And remember, you've got to solve them in order.
37:47Sally and Jenny fail to complete all three.
37:50All right.
37:52Isaiah is part of the job.
37:54Which means that if you complete all three, you are guaranteed the two bonus points.
37:58Oh.
37:58So I feel this is the moment in sprinting terms, you just overtake three people.
38:04Yes.
38:04Yes.
38:05I mean, if you're Carol.
38:07Remember, once you solve all three anagrams, please hit the button.
38:11It's a big moment in tonight's contest.
38:12Your time starts now.
38:15Prong.
38:17Prong.
38:20Thro...
38:20Thro...
38:21Thro...
38:22Thro...
38:22Thro...
38:23Thro...
38:23Thro...
38:23Thro...
38:23Thro...
38:23Thro...
38:23Thro...
38:23Thro...
38:23Thro...
38:23No.
38:24A bother.
38:25Right, you did bother.
38:27Okay.
38:29Um...
38:30Uh...
38:30Uh...
38:31Re...
38:31No, Johnny, bother's good.
38:33Re...
38:33Something.
38:35Re...
38:35Uh...
38:36Punch...
38:37No, what can this be?
38:39Oh, yeah.
38:43Crumpet!
38:44Crumpet, wow.
38:45Oh, what!
38:47Players you are about.
38:48Yeah, but you did it.
38:50The speed, the speed of that.
38:52My goodness.
38:52There we are.
38:53Look, we straightened them up, which feels good.
38:54Crumpet, bother, prong.
38:56Yeah.
38:57That's a good party.
38:59It certainly is.
39:00Yeah.
39:01My kind of party.
39:02My brain's always just doing about four letters at a time, and you're just like three words
39:06ahead of me.
39:07Well, she spent a lifetime rearranging letters and numbers.
39:10But it really helps on that one, to rearrange them.
39:12It does, doesn't it?
39:13Throw them around to see it.
39:14Great effort.
39:16Please head back to your seats.
39:22So, Carol and Johnny, you've added six points to your score.
39:27Clawing back, winning the bonus two points.
39:29It's getting hot in here.
39:31Going into the final, the overall scores are...
39:35Carol and Johnny, 30.
39:37Sally and Jenny, 48.
39:40Respectable.
39:41It does, though, you know, you know you can do this.
39:46It does all come down to this.
39:47It's time for our final round.
39:49Answer Bank.
39:53So, Carol and Johnny, you've got a bit of catching up to do, but it is for all four of
39:56you to
39:56play on the buzzer.
39:57I'm going to show you a grid of 12 words.
39:59I'll then ask questions against the clock.
40:01Buzz in.
40:02Give me the correct answer, which could be lateral.
40:04If an answer has more than one word, you must give all the corresponding words in the correct
40:08order.
40:09You'll score a point per word, so it could add up to winning or losing the whole tournament.
40:13Let's reveal all the words on the Answer Bank now.

42:47The first name of a fictional 18th century traveller.
42:50Carol.
42:51Oh.
42:52Swiss family Robinson.
42:53I wanted Robinson.
42:55These people were shipwrecked.
42:58Oh.
43:00And my next question was to have been, these people were shipwrecked.
43:04And then you would have gone Swiss family Robinson.
43:05Jenny, you've been an amazing player today.
43:07Oh, yes.
43:08I must say.
43:08Crazy.
43:09And Johnny, I know it's hard being up against a guest of this stature.
43:14But it's also kind of thrilling as well.
43:16She was just your expert there.
43:18It's a remarkable performance.
43:20It really is.
43:20This episode is all over, bar the shouting.
43:23And trust me, I think there might be some shouting later.
43:25Let's take a look at the final scores.
43:27Carol and Johnny have 36.
43:29That's not bad.
43:30Would win it.
43:30Normally could win it.
43:32That's not bad.
43:32Sally and Jenny have 66.
43:35Wow.
43:36We have never seen a score that high.
43:39Johnny, thank you as well.
43:41You know, this is...
43:42The taking part that counts.
43:43I don't think...
43:44Look, today, playing Jenny, all the viewers will have lost as well.
43:47So, you know, there's no shame in that.
43:50OK, Jenny is our winning guest celebrity.
43:52The final thing.
43:53I'm going to show you the puzzling cube.
43:59I know you won't have forgotten your side of this earlier,
44:01but it will now come even closer to you.
44:04As it goes closer, it will look bigger.
44:08That's wrapped everything up in a tiny bow.
44:10My thanks go to Sally and Carol and Jenny and Johnny.
44:14Join us next time on Celebrity Puzzling,
44:15where I'll be standing alongside another famous foursome
44:18while they attempt to create their own puzzling Mount Rushmore.
44:21Until such time, good night and puzzle on.
44:24I'll see you in the next one.
44:26Bye.
