00:00Hello, I'm Jeremy Vine and this is the show where two celebrity teams face a series of fiendishly difficult puzzles
00:06and I look on in awe or disappointment, depending on who's playing.
00:10Tonight it'll be awe, I'm sure. This is Celebrity Puzzling!
00:31Hello, welcome to Celebrity Puzzling. First, a thorny issue of our team captains. Let's meet them, shall we, in no
00:38particular order.
00:39A maths whiz who once ran a frozen pea factory in Suffolk, she's one of my five a day, is
00:45the cracky Carol Vorderman MBE.
00:49Facing off against her tonight is a woman who worked in a call centre whilst studying. Hold please for Sally
00:55Lindsay MBE.
00:58Who will be joining these two puzzling grandmasters tonight? Well, with Carol, it's a comedian who studied Russian at Oxford.
01:05And if that doesn't sound like the start of a spy novel, I don't know what does. It's Ivo Graham!
01:11And teaming up with Sally is a man sure to hit the high notes, everyone's favourite choir master, Gareth Malone!
01:19Welcome everyone. Gareth, you're touring a lot. Yeah. You're live a lot. I'm live, I love that.
01:25But you love being live. I love it. I mean, I'm a, I'm a, I love attention.
01:31But I just love audiences. I love the interaction of it. And I've just spent years making television, which of
01:37course is great fun.
01:37Yeah.
01:38But there's something so special about being out and singing and playing instruments. I love being live.
01:42And is that, is that people come to see you or that you bring a choir with you or how
01:46does it work?
01:46The audience is the choir. So I have, you know, up to 2,000 people all singing along with lyrics
01:52on the, on the screen.
01:53I mean, yeah, it's fun. It's a sing-along of Gareth. I've been doing it the last five years now.
01:58Oh, I love it.
01:58How great. Ivo has an obsession with orange.
02:01Yes, I'm doing, um, I'm doing a show at the moment about, um, all the best orange things in the
02:06world.
02:07Uh, and, um, some of my family think this is a fun idea and some of them are quite confused
02:11about where my life has gone.
02:13Are there any songs about orange?
02:15The show is called Orange Crush, which is a great song by R.E.M.
02:19Of course they have to say R.E.M.
02:20Uh, so that's, and then there's a band called Orange Juice.
02:23Orange Juice, yeah.
02:23Of course.
02:24We could, I mean, Gareth, realistically, if you were to combine, so one of you supported the other, you could
02:29do things like Hark the Orange Angels Sing.
02:32You would get the word orange in there.
02:34Oh, I, yeah, absolutely.
02:36We could, well, we write songs in my show, so we could write a whole song based on orange.
02:40That's it.
02:40We'll talk after.
02:41Thanks very much, Gareth.
02:42It's a verbal contract.
02:44Okay, time for tonight's terms and conditions.
02:47It's more interesting than it sounds.
02:48In every episode thus far, our teams have faced a random selection of puzzles.
02:52If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
02:53So we're just going to do it again.
02:55No two contests are ever the same, though.
02:57And we even try to mix up this bit of scripting, too, because we value our loyal viewers.
03:05Okay, your points total is important because ideally you'd carry a lead into the final round, Answer Bank.
03:11Everything can change in the final.
03:13And if you end up as our celebrity guest who wins, I've got to show you something.
03:18On the screen you see the prize, the Celebrity Puzzling Cube.
03:24I've never been entering the beat before in my life.
03:26So that's for you if you win.
03:28Okay, that's that.
03:29There's nothing stopping us playing round one.
03:31Let's do it.
03:31Get in line, folks.
03:32This is form an orderly cue.
03:36Here, I'll show you how it works.
03:38A question will appear.
03:39Somehow our so-called supercomputer has reordered each word alphabetically rather than how they should be written.
03:45So here would be the question.
03:47Oh, yeah.
03:47And, oh, there's obviously a song title.
03:49Have a guess.
03:50Maybe have a go.
03:51Oh, is it who had a number one hit with Do You Think I'm Sexy?
03:56Can't remember.
03:57Rod Stewart.
03:57Rod Stewart is the answer we think.
04:00Yes.
04:01I'll show you the question on Scramble, which I'll always do.
04:03I promise.
04:04Number one hit single with Do You Think I'm Sexy?
04:07Okay.
04:07You must decide for the question to get the answer to back the points.
04:10So the question is, can you form an orderly cue?
04:12Time to find out.
04:13Fingers on buzzers, everyone.
04:14Here we go.
04:15There it is.
04:21Look for capital letters.
04:23That can help.
04:24Carol.
04:25Tennis.
04:26Is it tennis?
04:28Amazing.
04:29Very quick.
04:32Forderman.
04:33So we'll unscramble.
04:36I think we're going to see Roger Federer.
04:37I see how you did that, Carol.
04:39Yes.
04:39Roger Federer competed professionally in which sport?
04:42That was the question.
04:43Get ready on the buzzers.
04:45Here we go again.
04:52Form an orderly cue.
04:54Ivo.
04:55Michael J. Fox.
04:56Yeah.
04:57Is it Michael J. Fox?
04:59Oh, my gosh.
05:00Yes!
05:01We've got some players over this side.
05:03Let's see the question unscrambled.
05:06Who played Marty McFly in Back to the Future?
05:08And it helps to go in on the capital letters.
05:10It's my favourite movie.
05:11I've got a poster of it on my wall.
05:13I've got very lucky today.
05:14Okay.
05:15All right.
05:15Well, it is a great one.
05:16Here's the next one.
05:17Thanks, Jeremy.
05:18Oh, there's another capital letter there.
05:21Only six words.
05:25Gareth.
05:26Zucchini.
05:27Zucchini.
05:29He's right.
05:30And I don't know what he says.
05:32I don't know how you got that.
05:34Let's have a look.
05:35Let's have a look here.
05:36Yeah.
05:37What do Americans call a courgette?
05:39The questions might get a little more difficult as we go along.
05:42Fingers back on buzzers.
05:50I can see.
05:51Oh, Gareth.
05:53George.
05:54Yes.
05:55I need more.
05:56There's a lot of them.
05:57The fourth.
05:58George, the fourth.
06:00No.
06:00Go on.
06:01You can steal.
06:02George, the sixth.
06:03George, the sixth.
06:05Oh.
06:06Oh.
06:09Let's have a look at the question.
06:10We can go through this a little bit.
06:11Who was Queen Elizabeth II's father, our dear late queen?
06:16Yeah.
06:17And it was George VI.
06:18Now, George VI was the guy who did The King's Speech, wasn't it?
06:20The famous film.
06:21Yes.
06:22Played by Colin Firth.
06:23With the stammer.
06:24With the stammer, as you say.
06:26Yes.
06:26With the stutter.
06:26And which one had the marvellous medicine?
06:30Don't confuse us.
06:31Here's another question.
06:35Oh, dear.
06:39There's something with a capital P.
06:41Yes, Ali.
06:42Italy.
06:43Is it Italy?
06:44This is such a fast round.
06:46Italy.
06:47No.
06:48Carol Ivo.
06:50To steal a point.
06:51Spain.
06:52Spain.
06:53Sorry.
06:56Let's see the unscrambled question.
06:58Ah, the artist Picasso was born in which country?
07:03Final form and orderly cue puzzle.
07:05This is a good round.
07:06It's such a good, just a whole show.
07:07Get ready.
07:08The whole show could be this, yeah.
07:10All right.
07:11There's an F in there.
07:20Carol.
07:20Port Stanley.
07:23Port Stanley.
07:24Port Stanley.
07:26Yay!
07:27Stanley or Port Stanley, I couldn't accept either.
07:29Let's unscramble the question.
07:30What is the capital of the Falkland Irons?
07:33At the end of that round, Sally and Gareth have got two.
07:37Carol and Ivo have got ace.
07:39Oh!
07:41They were banging the buzzer like crazy.
07:44Hopefully you managed to reorder those questions at home.
07:46Well done if you had any success there.
07:48It's almost time for our teams to try to win some more points over at the letterbox.
07:52This one does need a bit of focus.
07:54It's called Pathwords.
07:57So I'll show you this.
07:59As an example, you see three words of five jumbled letters, which must be rearranged to complete three words.
08:04Letters highlighted are locked in place.
08:06Letters on physical tiles are those to be rearranged.
08:08In this case, the dark ones.
08:10So give us an idea.
08:12You can only move tiles vertically within their column.
08:15I think maybe the first one is slate.
08:18Slate, okay.
08:19Looks good.
08:21And then that's...
08:23Does that...
08:23No, yes, okay.
08:25Orbit and widen would be the three, and it's all gone green.
08:28So you are against the clock.
08:29Just to remind you, when you've done it, buzz.
08:31So Carol and Ivo, head over to the letterbox, won't you, to play Pathwords.
08:40Carol and Ivo, in your first puzzle, the first letter of each word plus two extra letters will be locked.
08:44Once you're happy, press the buzzer for three points.
08:46Here's your first Pathword.
08:48Your time starts now.
08:50What have we got here?
08:53Okay.
08:56Dra...
08:56So what are you looking at?
08:57Which one are we looking at?
08:58The middle one?
08:59I'm just... Drawn.
08:59Drawn, okay.
09:01Yeah.
09:01How about...
09:04T...
09:06That would that be then?
09:07That would be the end.
09:08Unite at the bottom?
09:09Fence.
09:10And then fence at the top.
09:11Unity.
09:12Unity and fence.
09:13Okay, let's see if it goes green when you press the buzzer.
09:16Yes, well done, you.
09:18Fence is the first.
09:19Come on.
09:20And then it's drawn.
09:21Fence drawn.
09:22Unity is correct.
09:23It's going to get harder as we lock one letter fewer.
09:25For your trouble, this one is worth four points.
09:28Here it is.
09:28Your time starts now.
09:30Heck.
09:32So, what would that be?
09:34Could the bottom one be Vicar?
09:37Vicar, right?
09:38V is a good word, aren't they?
09:40Yeah, I'm vicaring.
09:41Yeah.
09:42Mmm.
09:42Vicar.
09:43And now?
09:44Could it be...
09:47Noive.
09:48No, no.
09:49Oh, forum.
09:51And naive.
09:52That looks good, doesn't it?
09:54Yes.
09:54Naive's a funny word, but is it right?
09:56Naive?
09:56Yes, I'm very happy.
09:57You've passed your right word, Dan.
10:00Forum, naive, vicar.
10:01It might get harder.
10:02We're cranking up the difficulty in the third puzzle.
10:05We're only going to lock the first letter per word.
10:07The correct answer will be worth a whopping five points.
10:10Wow.
10:10Here it is.
10:10Your time starts now.
10:14Right, I've gone on.
10:16Latex.
10:17Wow.
10:18Goldman sees latex everywhere.
10:20Yeah.
10:21Okay, what about this J, then?
10:24Joins.
10:26Joins?
10:26The joins in your latex.
10:28And that leaves us with a lovely shawl.
10:30Happy.
10:30Oh, I say.
10:31Fantastic.
10:31Boom.
10:32Very good.
10:34Shawl joins latex.
10:36How did you get on at home?
10:38Did you get latex like Carol did?
10:40Well done, you two.
10:42Your trip to the letterbox has gone well.
10:45You've scored the maximum.
10:4612 points.
10:47I know.
10:48Goal.
10:48Goal.
10:49Look at this.
10:49It's not going to be as easy as you might have thought or hoped.
10:53I'm very relaxed about it, Jeremy.
10:55It's fine.
10:55Okay, Sally and Gareth relaxed until they get to Pathwords.
10:59They'll have to hold fire for a moment.
11:02It's just time for a little commercial break.
11:03Give your brains a rest.
11:05Rejoin us in a few minutes.
11:09Have a go at this Pathwords puzzle.
11:12Swap the letters in just one column to reveal the answers.
11:16Choose wisely.
11:28Did you manage to solve this Pathwords puzzle?
11:31If you got these answers, well done.
11:37Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling.
11:39I am Jeremy Vine and nobody can prove otherwise.
11:42Our captains Carol Vorderman and Sally Lindsay have been buddying up to their teammates Ivo Graham and Gareth Malone here.
11:47There is a spring in their step.
11:49It's lovely to see.
11:50Time now for Sally and Gareth to try to bank some points with their turn.
11:54Here at the letterbox, you're going to see three rows of letters which must be rearranged to complete three new
11:59words.
12:00You can only move tiles vertically within their column.
12:02Once you're happy with your words, hit the button in your first puzzle, the first letter per word.
12:07Plus two extra letters will be locked.
12:10For three points, here's your first Pathword.
12:12Your time starts now.
12:14OK, is it move?
12:16Wow, so fast.
12:18OK, move.
12:19No, movie?
12:21Movie, OK.
12:22OK, great, well done.
12:23I'm going to get involved at some point.
12:25OK.
12:26Froze.
12:32Irony.
12:33Irony.
12:33Irony.
12:33Irony.
12:34Flush.
12:36I'll get my coat.
12:37Look at that.
12:38Well, they've been practising.
12:40So, movie, irony, flush.
12:43As we saw earlier, the difficulty increases as we lock the first letters and only one extra letter.
12:48For four points this time, here it is.
12:50Your time.
12:50Starts now.
12:52OK.
12:53OK.
12:54Power.
12:56So, it's stairs with J, so let's go...
12:58The H, that could go there.
13:00And then where...
13:03No.
13:04No.
13:04So, that's got to be that, hasn't it?
13:06Poise.
13:07Poise.
13:08Hang on.
13:10Wisp.
13:11Wisp.
13:12Wisp.
13:13OK, good.
13:13Wisp.
13:15Praise.
13:17And...
13:17Jolt.
13:18No, that's not...
13:19Jolt.
13:19No.
13:20It's OK.
13:21So, it's got to be O.
13:24Yeah, it has.
13:25No, that's right.
13:28Joe...
13:29Joeys.
13:30Oh.
13:31Joeys.
13:32No, that's not...
13:32Running out of time.
13:34I'm worried about Wisp.
13:36Wisp.
13:36Oh, that's not a word.
13:37That's not a word.
13:38What kind of...
13:39So, Wisp is W-I-S-P.
13:41Ah, right, OK.
13:42I think you missed Joist.
13:44I think you needed a Joist in there to support you.
13:47If we could...
13:48I think you might be right.
13:49Ah, go and put Joist in for me.
13:51I got very attached to Wisp.
13:51And then...
13:52Whelp.
13:53Can you have Whelp, Sally?
13:55W-H-E-L-P.
13:56Praise.
13:56Oh, that's it.
13:57And then, yeah.
13:58Praise.
13:59As in, he prays for...
14:01Oh, fail.
14:01Oh, dear.
14:01An exciting final.
14:03That wasn't a very good form at all, Sally.
14:05So, oh, really sorry.
14:06No, well, look.
14:07It gets harder again.
14:08This time...
14:09Great.
14:10You're going to be fine, guys.
14:11You're going to be fine.
14:12This time, I only lock the first letter, those three, of each word.
14:15Solving the puzzle is going to be worth five.
14:17If you're ready, your time starts now.
14:19OK.
14:21OK.
14:21OK.
14:24What have you got?
14:24It's not cosy, is it?
14:26OK.
14:27So, we've got that Z.
14:28So, what is it?
14:29Cowed.
14:30Is it...
14:30Cowed?
14:32No.
14:34Gazed.
14:34Gazed.
14:35Gazed.
14:36Gazed.
14:36Right, OK.
14:38Jaws.
14:39Jaws.
14:40No.
14:40OK.
14:41Er...
14:41OK.
14:44Gosh, I'm funny.
14:45It's hard.
14:47Er...
14:49Erm...
14:49Ch...
14:50Jazz.
14:52Or...
14:52Jazzy.
14:53No, it's two Zs.
14:55Jazzy's, no.
14:56Gazed.
14:56Gazed.
14:57Oh, yeah.
14:57OK.
14:58Gazed.
14:58Do that.
15:00Gazed...
15:01Yes, that's a word.
15:03OK.
15:04That's a word.
15:04Time is coming down.
15:06So...
15:06Oh!
15:08What?
15:09Let's think about this.
15:10So...
15:11I think chaos is what we wanted at the top.
15:15And...
15:16Jowley.
15:16And then we have gazed there, don't we?
15:18Gazed.
15:19Gazed.
15:19And then...
15:20Oh!
15:21Chaos.
15:21Jowley.
15:22Gazed.
15:23So, head back to your seats.
15:25We'll check out the scores.
15:30How many puzzles did you solve at home?
15:32Sally and Gareth, your visit to the letterboxes scored you three.
15:36Oh, dismal.
15:37Let's see what that's done to the scores.
15:39Sally and Gareth on five.
15:41Oh, no.
15:41Carol and I go on 20.
15:45Oh, no.
15:46Our next puzzling round is all about making some serious shapes, because it is shapeshifters.
15:52This is a fun round.
15:54Let's see an example.
15:55So, I'll show you a grid of answers, a question, and a corresponding shape.
15:58You've got to give me the correct answers that fit the shape.
16:01And as we know, you can't...
16:04Rotate the shape.
16:05Very good.
16:06That's not our catchphrase, because it is not working, really.
16:09But you can't, you can't rotate the shape.
16:10So, you've got to get one over the other.
16:13Flightless birds.
16:14Oh.
16:14I'm saying emu penguin.
16:16Okay.
16:17Straight there.
16:18Let's see if that's right.
16:19Yeah.
16:19That's how you do it.
16:20And then I can also say, oh, were there any others in the grid to confuse us?
16:26Kiwi, but didn't fit the shape.
16:28Okay.
16:29Sally and Gareth, you're up first.
16:30Here's your puzzle for two points.
16:33People who have played the devil on screen.
16:36So, got two.
16:37One on top of the other, please.
16:39Ooh.
16:40I know.
16:41I think I know.
16:42Go on, do you...
16:42The people that have played...
16:44Robert De Niro's played the devil.
16:46Morgan Freeman played God.
16:48Charlton Heston played not God.
16:51I think...
16:51Jack Nielsen plays the devil, but it's not that.
16:53I think it is Elizabeth Hurley and Al Pacino.
16:57I think it's those two.
16:58Do you...
16:58Alright.
16:59Do you agree?
16:59I would go for that as well.
17:01Yeah.
17:01Well, Sally Rennell, actor, may well know this.
17:05Al Pacino, Elizabeth Hurley, is it right?
17:08Yes.
17:09Well done.
17:10Were there any other ones that would have been right as well?
17:13Jack Nicholson.
17:14Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro.
17:16So, Al Pacino is in The Devil's Advocate.
17:18Absolutely.
17:18Bang on, Sally, with your reasoning.
17:20That's it.
17:21Elizabeth Hurley in Bedazzled.
17:22Bedazzled, yeah.
17:23Yeah.
17:23He's actually really good in that.
17:24In The Witches of Eastwick.
17:26Yeah.
17:26And Robert De Niro in...
17:28Angel Heart.
17:29Yes!
17:30Very good.
17:30Well done.
17:31Carol and Ivo, here's your shapeshifters puzzle.
17:34Here we go.
17:35To keep the lead.
17:36Former Olympic events.
17:37The key word being former.
17:39So it no longer is.
17:41I would guess tug of war, but...
17:43I'm guessing.
17:44Look at the shape, one beside the other.
17:45Yeah.
17:46The former thing has made me very stressed, Jeremy.
17:49I don't think I would say for certain that any of these were...
17:53You know what I mean?
17:54Yeah.
17:55I think tug of war is former.
17:57I can't think that darts was.
18:00What do you think?
18:01Okay.
18:02So, darts never.
18:03No.
18:05What should we go with?
18:06I'm fancying tug of war and tandem cycling.
18:10And I...
18:11Where Vorderman goes, I follow.
18:13Do you?
18:13Yes.
18:14Is that tandem-wise?
18:15Yes, tandem-wise and tug of war-wise.
18:18Okay.
18:18Let's lock those in, please, Jeremy.
18:19That's what we're going for.
18:20All right.
18:21Tug of war and tandem cycling.
18:22Is that right?
18:24Yes.
18:25Very good.
18:26Exactly.
18:26Let's see the others that might have counted.
18:29Oh!
18:29Standing triple jump and cannon shooting.
18:32Cannon shooting.
18:33That was a demonstration sport in 1900.
18:35Oh, wow.
18:36Standing triple jump.
18:38Imagine that.
18:38It's bad enough doing it from a run.
18:40Yeah.
18:40That'd get you back in, wouldn't it?
18:42It will.
18:42And everything else.
18:441900 and 1904.
18:45Tug of war, absolutely, but they stopped that in 1920.
18:48They should bring that back.
18:49I think.
18:50Tandem cycling from 1908 until 1972.
18:54Sally and Gareth, here's your second puzzle.
18:56The shape increases here.
18:57Have a look at it.
18:58So you've got three on a kind of corner there.
19:01One up, one down, one across.
19:03UK stamp sets for three points.
19:06Wow.
19:08I know, I think I know this.
19:10Do you?
19:10I'm going to do a guess.
19:11It's a very educated guess.
19:14Does it involve Peppa Pig?
19:15It does.
19:16It does.
19:16The reason is, I've got every year, I get my Christmas card from Sue Holderness, who played
19:21Marlene in Only Fools and Horses.
19:23OK.
19:24And she puts her stamp on it.
19:26I love that.
19:27And Blackadder is in shock.
19:28And Blackadder must be.
19:29So I'm thinking, just for that, it's Only Fools and Horses, Peppa Pig.
19:34I like that.
19:34And Blackadder.
19:36Blackadder, Peppa Pig, and Only Fools and Horses, is it right?
19:40Yes.
19:40Very well done.
19:42So, the others, let's have a look.
19:44X-Men and AC-DC.
19:46And I bought the AC-DC ones.
19:48I thought that was wonderful.
19:49And the Stones, been on them.
19:50And McCartney.
19:51They're quite sort of freewheeling with these picture stamps.
19:54You'll be on them one day.
19:55I look forward to that.
19:56We'll be on it next, puzzling.
19:57Yeah.
19:58Can you imagine that?
19:59Great puzzlers, and they just only issue three stamps.
20:01Once you've got your catchphrase, then it'll be time.
20:04I know.
20:05Carol and Ivo for three points.
20:07Maybe that's it.
20:10Films that are over three hours long.
20:12Oh, goodness me.
20:13Look at the shape here.
20:15One, then one on a diagonal, and then you go down on a diagonal.
20:19Okay.
20:19Well, this is of no help because of the shape.
20:22But Gone With The Wind was definitely over three hours long.
20:26It doesn't fit the shape in any way.
20:29I don't think Wicked was, do you?
20:31No, I don't think so.
20:32I think Goodfellas was.
20:33I do, too.
20:35I don't think Titanic was, actually.
20:37Titanic's long, but I don't think it's that long.
20:39So, Goodfellas could be the one in the shape.
20:42And maybe, I mean, the Godfather, I think, could be.
20:45I don't think Casablanca is.
20:47So, what about some, like, hot?
20:50I don't know anything about...
20:52Do need an answer.
20:54What are we going to go with, Ivo?
20:56Could we go with quite a rogue?
20:59Go on.
21:00Godfather, Goodfellas, and Wicked.
21:01Go on, then.
21:02I don't...
21:03It's crazy.
21:04I don't...
21:05Wicked's for kids.
21:05I don't think it'd be three hours plus, but let's go with it.
21:07Let's go with it.
21:09Godfather, Wicked, Goodfellas is your answer.
21:12Is it right?
21:15No, it's not.
21:16No, it's not.
21:17Chance to steal for Gareth and Sally.
21:19Okay, I'm...
21:20One point, if you do.
21:21I think it's the Green Mile Schindler's List Titanic,
21:23because I don't think Bad Boys 2 is over three hours,
21:26and that's the only other option.
21:27Certainly not Aliens and some like it hot.
21:29All right.
21:29Green Mile Schindler's List Titanic, is that right?
21:33No!
21:33You've stolen the points.
21:35Well done.
21:36I feel better.
21:37And let's see the other ones.
21:38I'm back, everyone.
21:39Which others work?
21:40Only Gone With The Wind.
21:42Isn't that amazing?
21:43So that's the longest one on the board, Gone With The Wind 341.
21:46Schindler's List 315, Green Mile 309, Titanic 314.
21:50All the others under three hours long.
21:52Sally and Gareth, here's your final one.
21:54We're loving this round.
21:55Slightly larger grid, though, for you.
21:57Bit trickier, maybe.
21:58Countries with a Mediterranean coastline.
22:00Oh, okay.
22:01And look at the shape of the three.
22:02Hello.
22:02One up, one down, one diagonal.
22:04I'm saying, I feel pretty confident.
22:07Go on.
22:09Turkey, definitely.
22:11Egypt, of course.
22:15Morocco fits the bill.
22:16I don't think Albania, Portugal.
22:19Because Albania, no.
22:20Well, Cyprus.
22:21Tunisia, Jordan, Jordan, no.
22:23Cyprus definitely does, but it's not.
22:25Portugal and Albania.
22:26Jordan, no.
22:27Albania is...
22:28Bulgaria is up.
22:30So that's like Black Sea, isn't it?
22:32Well, Portugal doesn't, does it?
22:33So it's...
22:35I'm going to leave this to you, my darling.
22:37All right.
22:37What could we go for?
22:39Turkey, Egypt, Morocco.
22:41Turkey, Egypt, Morocco.
22:42Is it right?
22:45Yeah.
22:46Nice to go.
22:47Just look at the other ones that would have counted had they been in the right position.
22:50Because I think you're...
22:51A couple of things.
22:52Albania would have.
22:53Oh, would it?
22:54Yeah.
22:54Malta, Tunisia, Italy, Monaco, Cyprus.
22:57So quite a few ones to throw you off there, but you got the answer right.
23:01Carol and Ivo for three points.
23:03Your last one.
23:04I need this one.
23:06Okay.
23:06TV shows first shown in the 1960s.
23:09Okay, so that would mean...
23:12Look at the shape.
23:13One on a diagonal, one across.
23:16Got it.
23:17Coronation Street, absolutely, 100%.
23:20Love Island, not.
23:22Well, if you think Coronation Street is definite, could we have...
23:25Yes, because I'm only...
23:26I'm two weeks younger than Coronation Street.
23:28I was born in 1960.
23:30Absolutely.
23:31Fantastic.
23:32So that is one.
23:34Maybe in that case, University Challenge and Match of the Day.
23:37I'm going with that.
23:39And I may be wrong.
23:41So, or it could be Op Knox, as they call it in the business.
23:47Songs of Praise and Doctor Who.
23:50Oh, that's a nice little treble as well.
23:53Well, I think we've got two lovely options, but I think your instinct was for Coronation Street.
23:59Let's go with that.
24:00Let's throw in Match of the Day, University Challenge as well.
24:02Yeah, Univert with Bamba.
24:03All right, with Bamba guests going.
24:06University Challenge, Coronation Street, Match of the Day.
24:09Is it right?
24:11Yes!
24:13Let's see the ones that would have counted, had they been in the right position.
24:18Yes.
24:18So, Doctor Who and Songs of Praise were both 63.
24:24Opportunity knocks with Huey Green.
24:25It's your vote that counts.
24:26Yeah, in the 50s.
24:28In the 50s, 56.
24:29You're right about that.
24:30How did you get on at home?
24:31Are you giving our celebrities a run for their money at the end of that round?
24:34We have Sally and Gareth on 14, so you're picking up pace here.
24:39Oh, there we are.
24:39Carol and I vote ahead, but not vanquishing them at this stage.
24:4325.
24:45Now we take a quick break.
24:47Much more puzzling is on the way, so please don't strike.
24:49We'll see you in a few minutes.
24:54Why don't you have a go at home?
24:56Find the starting point to solve the clue and complete this around-the-block puzzle.
25:01Get puzzling.
25:13Have you solved this around-the-block brain teaser?
25:17If you did, great job.
25:22Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling.
25:24Mi casa es su casa.
25:26Make yourselves at home.
25:28As ever, Carol and Sally are here.
25:30This time they've been joined by some famous faces who have agreed to grasp the puzzling nettle,
25:34namely Ivo Graham and Gareth Malone.
25:37Gareth, we remember you on Celebrity Bake Off when you recreated an incident from school.
25:42Yes, yes, a naked version of myself made entirely out of pink meringue.
25:49And what were you doing?
25:50Anatomically correct in every detail.
25:52Muscular.
25:52You were falling into something.
25:54Yeah, I fell into this school pond.
25:56But the worst part is I got out, banged my head, and then a teacher took me to have a
26:01shower,
26:01sent me in to go and get a shower.
26:03And a girl ran in and looked at me naked and went, ha ha ha ha ha.
26:07Oh no!
26:09Really quite traumatic.
26:10That would stay with you.
26:11It has stayed with me.
26:12Yeah.
26:12So you recreated it using yourself.
26:14You were pink meringue and you fell into the-
26:17Yeah, so I created the- I brought the two moments together in a glorious moment actually.
26:22But Paul Hollywood liked it because I used different types of meringue.
26:26Oh.
26:26This is probably beyond the scope of this show, but there are different types of meringue.
26:30Well, it might come up later, so we better not talk about it.
26:33We do have around different types of meringue.
26:35Absolutely.
26:36I'm going to go into that.
26:37I'm going to absolutely.
26:39Smash it.
26:39Yeah.
26:40It's time to put Ivo and Gareth to the ultimate puzzling test now,
26:43because it is time for our celebrity guest head-to-head.
26:46This is called Join the Dots.
26:50So, yes, Ivo looks worried, but also strangely braced, I think.
26:54This is the bigger show where Carol and Sally can kick back, relax, and crucially, not whisper.
26:59The guests take the strain.
27:01Ivo and Gareth, an example for you.
27:03On the screen, you're shown a puzzle here consisting of a category and a series of dots.
27:10The category Kids TV.
27:11So, yeah, you'll see.
27:13And if we were doing this for real, you would buzz when you knew it.
27:16It's obviously the something.
27:18Anyone?
27:20Oh, you have buzzed.
27:22The magic.
27:23Oh, no, no.
27:24The magic fulfilment.
27:26Yeah.
27:27Go on, Ivo.
27:28The magic roundabout.
27:30It is.
27:31The first player to buzz in and give the correct answer will score two points.
27:35If a player buzzes incorrectly with their answer, we freeze it and the other player can steal.
27:39So, here we go.
27:41Be quick, be right.
27:42The first one is coming now.
27:44On the buzzers.
27:45Artist.
27:52Gareth.
27:53Gareth.
27:53Damien Hirst.
27:54Wow.
27:55Is it Damien Hirst?
27:57You've gone in fast and you're right, Gareth.
27:59Well done.
28:00Next one, please.
28:01Next slide, please.
28:03Food.
28:05Two words.
28:06The lines are appearing.
28:10Ivan.
28:10Cornish pasty.
28:12Cornish pasty.
28:14Are you serious?
28:16Yes.
28:18The gauntlet is well and truly thrown down.
28:22Two very fast answers.
28:23Let's have our third.
28:25Join the dots.
28:27Mammal.
28:29Looks like two words.
28:31Second quite long.
28:34The lines form.
28:35Gareth.
28:36Is it Giant Alligator?
28:38Giant Alligator.
28:40It freezes.
28:41It goes to Ivo.
28:42Giant Anteater?
28:44Giant Anteater.
28:46Yes.
28:47A point on the steal.
28:49Could be crucial with the scores where they are.
28:52Action stations.
28:53Time for another.
28:54Guests only.
28:56Festival.
28:57Lines up here.
29:00Ivo.
29:02Glastonbury.
29:04Glastonbury.
29:05Gareth.
29:06To steal.
29:08Second letters.
29:09A.
29:11We need an answer or it will buzz you out.
29:13I'm just going to say Latitude.
29:14Latitude.
29:16I can see two Ks there.
29:18Am I mad?
29:19Let's have a look at this.
29:20Oh, that kind of.
29:21Oh, that kind of festival.
29:22It's that kind of festival.
29:24You were doing what I was doing.
29:25Music festivals.
29:26Glastonbury, Woodstock, Latitude.
29:29So it was Hanukkah.
29:30Okay, final one.
29:31Guests only, please.
29:33Transport.
29:35Here come the lines.
29:44Ivo.
29:45Penny Farthing.
29:46Penny Farthing.
29:48Well done.
29:48Why could I not see that when I own one?
29:50Penny Farthing.
29:52Oh.
29:54Now I feel I've lost the game.
29:56Do you own a Penny Farthing?
29:57Yes, I do.
29:58It's got a 56-inch wheel.
30:00Wow.
30:00Wow.
30:01Ivo scored five.
30:02Gareth scored two.
30:04How tasty is this now?
30:06Let's look at the totals.
30:08Sally and Gareth have 16, but Carol and Ivo are on 30.
30:13Ooh.
30:13There's a gap.
30:15There is a gap there.
30:16Yeah.
30:17It's not an emergency yet.
30:19No, it is not.
30:19It's the moment where you smell smoke.
30:23You might smell.
30:24You don't see the fire yet.
30:25Right.
30:26If you played at home, did you join the dots before our celebrities did?
30:29A very fast play from Ivo in particular there.
30:31Okay.
30:32Our next puzzle is about spotting the right letters and making them count.
30:35It's hidden answer.
30:38This is how it works in this game.
30:40The answer will be there right in front of you.
30:41Although sadly, it's a little bit jumbled up.
30:43You'll see a puzzle word on the left, a clue on the right.
30:46So here, just an example.
30:48The clue word is bear.
30:50Can you see a bear inside manscaped?
30:53Yes.
30:54Go on.
30:54Panda.
30:55Panda.
30:56Oh.
30:57Yes.
30:58A good.
30:58Panda would have been the right answer.
31:00Sally and Gareth, you're playing as a team.
31:02Your first one.
31:03Centre spreads TV soap.
31:06Oh, it's, um, it's EastEnders, isn't it?
31:11Oh, is it EastEnders?
31:13Yeah.
31:14I'm glad you got that right.
31:15That's right up your street.
31:16One day we're going to hit you with Madame Blanc, aren't we?
31:19Yeah.
31:19No, because I get it wrong.
31:20It'll be so funny.
31:21I get everything wrong on Manchester.
31:23Well, it is.
31:24It's in the nature.
31:25You know, Gareth will get stuff wrong on choirs, Ivo on comedy.
31:29Oh, yeah.
31:29Carol on light aircraft.
31:30That's why.
31:32Carol and Ivo, it's your turn.
31:33Here we go.
31:35No buzz.
31:36Pollinating shape.
31:38Oh, so, so, so, I was looking for polygons.
31:40Cluid shape.
31:41Poll...
31:41The letters are inside for work pollinating.
31:45Oh, what have we got?
31:46Circuit, is triangle there?
31:48No.
31:50Hexagon, octagon, pentagon.
31:54Is that there?
31:55Oh, pentagon.
31:55Pent...
31:56I've only got one.
31:58Oh, we've got two N's, haven't we?
31:59Yeah.
32:00Pentagon.
32:00Going with that?
32:01I think we absolutely should, but I can take no credit for it.
32:05Yeah.
32:05It's all ballgons.
32:06Pentagon, please.
32:08Pentagon.
32:08Yeah, it's very important in America.
32:11Yeah.
32:12And that's, is that five-sided?
32:14Yes.
32:15Yes.
32:16Yes, and of course, the huge building just outside Washington.
32:19Yes, indeed, the Pentagon.
32:20Get ready, Sally Gareth.
32:22Here's your next one.
32:23Okay.
32:24Cliché country.
32:26Find me a country inside cliché.
32:28Okay.
32:29Okay.
32:37Harder than it looks.
32:38Yes, okay.
32:39Uh, L.
32:41Iceland.
32:41Can't be Iceland, because, but, um...
32:44Come on, tell me.
32:45Chilli.
32:46Chilli.
32:47Well done.
32:48Is it chilli?
32:50It is indeed chilli.
32:52Very hard.
32:53Very good puzzling.
32:54Carol and Ivo, you're next.
32:57Manlike body joints.
32:59The clue is body joint.
33:01What do you think?
33:03The joint.
33:03I think it's the ankle.
33:05We'll start at the toes.
33:07Okay.
33:07Well done, I think we'll get that quick, quickly.
33:09Yes, go on.
33:10Uh, ankle, please, Jeremy.
33:12Ankle!
33:14Is right.
33:16Okay, Sally Gareth, your final one.
33:18We'll crack it on here.
33:19This is it.
33:20Traumatising social media.
33:22Yeah, just about tells the story.
33:24It does.
33:25It's not Facebook.
33:28Instagram.
33:28It's not WhatsApp.
33:29It's Instagram.
33:30It has to be Instagram, doesn't it?
33:31Yeah.
33:32Instagram.
33:33Instagram, yeah.
33:34Instagram.
33:34Process of elimination.
33:36Process of elimination, says Gareth.
33:37Let's see.
33:38Yes, it's right.
33:39Well done.
33:41Final here and answer puzzle.
33:42This time for Carol and Ivo.
33:44Ostracised philosopher.
33:46Oh.
33:46Wow.
33:50So, we need a philosopher inside, ostracised.
33:55Tricky.
33:56Iris.
33:57No.
33:58It's not Aristotle.
34:00Can you name that one?
34:01Oh, yes.
34:02The other one.
34:03Yeah.
34:04May I?
34:05Yes.
34:06May I have the honour?
34:07Socrates.
34:08Oh.
34:08Oh, I see.
34:09Okay, is it Socrates?
34:12So, you're in the old buffers.
34:15The old buffers.
34:16Aristotle, Socrates.
34:17At the end of that round, Sally and Gareth have got 22.
34:20They're not catching up yet, but they could still.
34:23Carol and Ivo, 36.
34:26Beautiful.
34:27Very good.
34:27Very good play by you two.
34:29Yeah.
34:29Did you solve any of them at home?
34:31Well done.
34:32Not easy at all.
34:33Time for our penultimate round.
34:35This one takes place at the exclusive postcode containing our letterbox.
34:38The fastest team to solve their puzzle this time will receive two bonus points, which could
34:42be crucial come the end of the show.
34:44So, it's all to play for in Letterboxd Lander.
34:48Let us see how this works.
34:49You will see three key words appear on the screen.
34:52In between a series of spaces, you've got to find the words that go, in this case, after
34:56course and before station.
34:58You've got the available letters at the top.
35:01Station master.
35:02Station master, master mind.
35:04I like that.
35:06Again, if you look at the top, you see the letters that are there.
35:09Course word.
35:10Is it?
35:11Course work.
35:11Oh, yeah.
35:12Course work, workstation.
35:13You like it.
35:14Now, look at the letters that remain.
35:16Mind.
35:18Something ing.
35:20Blowing.
35:21Mind blowing.
35:23Very good.
35:23So, course work, workstation, station master, master mind.
35:27Mind blowing is how we do it.
35:29Okay.
35:29And the letters will be there for you.
35:31As always, you will be against the clock.
35:33You can solve the ladder in any order.
35:34And as soon as you've completed the entire puzzle, you must hit the button to stop the
35:38clock.
35:38Two points per solved word.
35:40But the fastest between the two teams will get an extra two points as a bonus.
35:46Carol and Ivo, you're leading.
35:48Please head over to the letterbox now to face your ladder.
35:53As soon as you solve the ladder, hit the button to stop the clock.
35:57Your time starts now.
35:59Green, fly, life.
36:01Green something, something, fly.
36:04Say again.
36:04House.
36:05Green house would work at housefly.
36:07Oh, and housefly.
36:08Very good.
36:09I've got the U.
36:11And there's an E there if you'd like that.
36:12I've got the S.
36:14It's gone green.
36:15Yay, right.
36:16What's we've got left?
36:16Green when green.
36:17Okay.
36:19Lycas.
36:20No.
36:22Fly, life.
36:24Fly, life.
36:26Science.
36:26Fly, net.
36:27No.
36:28Fly, net.
36:29Fly.
36:30What's all these?
36:31What's this?
36:32I don't know.
36:33No, maybe.
36:33Lights.
36:34Fly, pass, pass, like.
36:36Past.
36:37Fly, pass.
36:38Fly, pass.
36:38Yeah.
36:38Pass, life.
36:39Sounds like a rest.
36:40Pass, life.
36:42What's this one, then?
36:42Yes, like it.
36:43Life lesson.
36:44Lesson.
36:45Life lesson.
36:47Well done.
36:48And the button is pressed.
36:49Well done.
36:50So, fly past.
36:51Wow, that's a pilot's answer.
36:53It really is.
36:54If ever there was one.
36:54Love a fly past.
36:55Green, house, house fly, fly past, past life, life lesson.
37:00Well within time.
37:01Wow.
37:01Well done, Carol and Ivo.
37:03Six points, the maximum.
37:05We'll see if it's good enough for the bonus after Sally and Gareth have played.
37:08Before they come to the table, let us take a break and we'll see you on the other side.
37:17Here's a letterbox ladder for you to solve during the break.
37:20The two clues are linked by what missing word?
37:23Good luck figuring it out.
37:36Did you successfully conquer the letterbox ladder?
37:41If you solved it, well done.
37:46Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling.
37:48Late comers will not be admitted.
37:49In a moment, Sally and Gareth will face letterbox ladder.
37:53Then we'll only have our final round to come.
37:55I think it's going to be a big one.
37:57Who will have a storybook ending?
37:58Who will end up on the cutting room floor?
38:00Not literally, we hope, as that would be a very short episode.
38:04Sally and Gareth, your turn to face letterbox ladder.
38:07Three new connecting words to solve.
38:09We need to focus now.
38:11You've got to beat the time set by Carol and Ivo.
38:13You've got to catch up with them for the final.
38:15Remember, once you solve all three, hit the button.
38:17Good luck.
38:18Your time starts now.
38:21Stepping stone.
38:22Wait.
38:24Stepping stone looks good.
38:28Wall.
38:28Wall.
38:30Weight.
38:31Wall.
38:32Wall.
38:34Just go.
38:34Yeah.

38:36Wall paint.
38:36Paint.
38:37Wait, no.
38:38That doesn't work.
38:39Paint.
38:40Weight lift.
38:41Wait.
38:42Wait.
38:43Wall.
38:46Wall.
38:47Wall.

38:53Wait.
38:54Wait.

38:55Wait.

38:57Wait.
38:57Wall.

38:58Wait.
38:58Train.
38:59Is it?
38:59Wait.
38:59Train.
39:00Yes.
39:00Wait.
39:01Train.
39:02Which leaves us.
39:03Let's see.
39:03What's that going to go green?
39:04That might really help.
39:05Okay.
39:05So what have you got left?
39:06That's gone green.
39:07Brilliant.
39:08Warr.
39:09What's that?
39:10Warr.
39:11Oh.
39:11Oh.
39:12Oh.
39:12Oh.
39:13Prit.
39:14Park.
39:14App.

39:16What?
39:17Pair.
39:19Prepe.
39:20Pair.
39:21Arap.
39:22Up.
39:22Ape.
39:23Ape.
39:24Reap.
39:25Ah.
39:25Reap.
39:27Reap.
39:28No.
39:29No.
39:30I can't see it.
39:31What is it?
39:32Praer.
39:33Oh.
39:33No.
39:34It's so frustrating.
39:36Time ticking down.
39:3810 seconds.
39:39Prap.
39:40Up.
39:41App.
39:42Up.
39:42Pair.
39:43Paper.
39:43Where paper?
39:44Power.
39:44Oh.
39:44Yes.
39:46Yes.
39:47Yes.
39:48Yes.
39:49Yes.
39:50Come on.
39:51Oh my goodness.
39:52I don't think we got the bonus.
39:53I can't believe it.
39:54It doesn't matter.
39:55I'm over excited about this.
39:57This was with a quarter of a second to go.
40:00Oh my.
40:00Stepping stone.
40:01Stone wool.
40:02Wallpaper.
40:03Paper weight.
40:04Weight train.
40:05Great effort.
40:06Wow.
40:07Head back to your seats.
40:13So Sally and Gareth, you managed to add six points to your score.
40:16The bonus points go to Carol and Ivo, who I think you knew were a little bit faster.
40:22But the celebration.
40:23Did you enjoy that?
40:23The lap of honour.
40:24I was going to do a headstand, but I thought it was too much.
40:26No.
40:26Brilliant.
40:27And we do have the St John Ambulance on standby.
40:30That means going into the final, the overall scores are Sally and Gareth, 28.
40:35Carol and Ivo, 44.
40:40Not a mountain to climb, but it's a steeping climb.
40:44But you can do it.
40:44It does come down to this.
40:45It is our final round and it's answer bank.
40:50So Sally, Gareth, you've got a bit of catching up to do, but this is for all four of you
40:53to play.
40:54In a moment, I'll show you a grid of 12 words.
40:56I'll then ask questions against the clock.
40:59Buzz in and give me the correct answer, which could be lateral, a bit like a crossword clue.
41:03If an answer has more than one word, you must give all the corresponding words in the correct order.
41:07You'll score a point per word, so it could add up to winning or losing the whole show just on
41:12this.
41:12Let's reveal all the words on the answer bank.
41:40If you're ready and you've had a good look at those words, let's play tonight's final.
41:44Your time starts now.

43:46And speaking of dust-ups, who is about to have one?
43:48Well, I can reveal.
43:50Sally and Gareth have scored 40, but Carol and Ivo are on 54.
43:58You are tonight's winners.
43:59Ivo, I have this for you.
44:04Well, it's a great honour to receive the Cube of Triumph.
44:07You will be taking this home, Ivo, whether you like it or not.
44:11But the most dramatic moment of the episode, of course, was you guys over there with your moment,
44:15Last Minute Triumph.
44:16When you got the anagram paper.
44:18We'll always have that.
44:18Absolutely brilliant.
44:19We'll always have that.
44:20It is with great pleasure that I declare this episode complete.
44:23It might not have been perfect, but it was ours.
44:26My considerable thanks go to Carol, Sally, the captains, and also Gareth and Ivo,
