00:00Hello, I'm Jeremy Vine, and this is the show where two celebrity teams face a series of fiendishly fun puzzles.
00:06I do hope you've got your thinking cap firmly on, because this is Celebrity Puzzling!
00:28Hello, welcome to Celebrity Puzzling. First, let's meet our two incredible team captains.
00:32What she doesn't know about puzzling isn't worth knowing. Been there, done that, check the maths.
00:36It's the brilliant Carol Vorderman.
00:39And facing her tonight, pray silence for our screen queen, is a beloved actor and a joyous person to work
00:44with is Sally Lindsay.
00:47Yes, and we have celebrity guests, who are tonight's hopefuls.
00:52With Carol is an actor who has been in everything from Game of Thrones to Danger Mouse.
00:56And let's see if that versatility extends to puzzling. It's Kevin Eldon.
01:02Joining Sally is a comedian who started out working in a supermarket tonight.
01:07He's the unexpected item in our bagging area, the Stephen Bailey. Welcome.
01:12Jeremy.
01:15Kevin, first of all, we must mention, you have been directed by Scorsese.
01:20I have been directed by Scorsese, yes.
01:23You've also played Danger Mouse.
01:25Yes.
01:25Now, that's breadth.
01:28That's range.
01:29Yeah, man.
01:29Yeah, that's what I'm here for.
01:31What were you doing on Danger Mouse?
01:33I get bored if I'm not creatively different, you know.
01:36Danger Mouse, I was being Penfold, his high-voiced assistant.
01:41Go on.
01:42Without the use of...
01:43Well, he was right up here.
01:44What can I do now?
01:46I can't do it now.
01:47But, yeah, we could only do one episode a day, otherwise my voice would have exploded.
01:52Unbelievable.
01:53But that was fun.
01:54That was under Armstrong, and he was the big white mouse.
01:57And that wasn't the one that Scorsese directed?
02:00That was...
02:01He dropped out early.
02:04Artistic differences.
02:07Brilliant.
02:08We often notice interesting connections.
02:10Now, you do comedy as well, Kevin.
02:12And, of course, Stephen, you're a comedian too.
02:14Yeah.
02:15And the ability to make people laugh is a gift, particularly in this horrible world that we're in now.
02:20I went to see Stephen very recently, and he's absolutely joyous.
02:24That's the word.
02:25Did you allow her to sit in the front row?
02:27I would never let anyone you know in the front row.
02:30I would not do it, because I'd just get thrown.
02:32I'm actually quite shy.
02:34So people you know at the back, and then really attractive homosexual men on the front row.
02:41And that is how a show is made.
02:43All right.
02:44In each episode, our two teams, a.k.a. them over there, must face a random selection of puzzles.
02:49Participation is mandatory.
02:51We shuffle the deck every day, so no two contests are ever the same.
02:54Their aim is to bank as many points as possible, which is crucial, because they'll want a big lead going
02:59into our final round.
03:00Answer bank.
03:01And for the winning celebrity guests, there's more.
03:03By more, I actually mean this is our amazing puzzling cube.
03:07We have some pictures of it on a plinth.
03:11Oh, look at that!
03:12And not only that, the plinth is illuminated.
03:16Okay, listen, here we go.
03:18Time to find out the identity of round one.
03:20Let's get puzzling.
03:21It's a bit like hide-and-seek, but with letters.
03:23It's hidden answer.
03:27Here's how it works in this game.
03:28The answer will be there right in front of you, so you'll see it on the screen.
03:32But sadly, it's a bit jumbled up.
03:34So, there's a puzzle world on the left, followed by a clue on the right.
03:37So, you've got rehydrated prince.
03:39Prince is the clue here.
03:40I think I know what that is.
03:42Go on.
03:43Is it Prince Harry?
03:45H-A...
03:46Let's see.
03:46Prince Harry.
03:47Oh, yeah, there...
03:48Yes!
03:49So, you don't have to use all of them.
03:51Oh, no.
03:52This is...
03:52I'm dead good at the examples.
03:54That was an example.
03:55No points on offer there, so let's do it for real.
03:57Carol and Kevin, here is your first one.
04:00Here we go, Carol.
04:01Right.
04:02Bachelor burp.
04:03Burp is the clue.
04:05Forget bachelor.
04:06We find it in bachelor.
04:08Yes.
04:10Well, cholera's in there, but it's probably not...
04:13Er...
04:14Retch.
04:16Retch.
04:16Retch.
04:17Wow.
04:18It's tasty.
04:18To burp.
04:19What do you do when you burp, were you?
04:21Belch.
04:22Belch.
04:22Belch.
04:23Let's see if it's right.
04:24Did you say belch?
04:25Yeah.
04:25Belch.
04:27Yeah.
04:28Well done.
04:28But I must say, I think if you'd said cholera, I would have just had to accept it, really,
04:35because it's such a brilliant spot.
04:37Yes.
04:38Okay, Sally and Stephen, your turn.
04:40Here we go.
04:41With yours.
04:42Bronchial country.
04:44Country is the clue.
04:45What country's in there?
04:46So, is it, er...
04:48I can see China.
04:50I can see China.
04:51China.
04:52Yeah.
04:53Yeah.
04:53Well done.
04:54Is that right?
04:55Yeah, go on, say it.
04:56China.
04:57Can I see China?
04:58You're doing a Donald Trump accent, Jeremy.
05:00Yeah, well...
05:01Yeah.
05:01I thought Stephen said it, you know.
05:03China.
05:04China.
05:05So there.
05:05Biden or so on.
05:08Okay, go.
05:09Get ready.
05:09Carol, Kevin, here's the next one.
05:12So, fondling sport.
05:15Sorry.
05:16Golf.
05:17Yeah.
05:17Golf.
05:18Golf.
05:19Is it golf?
05:20Of course it's golf.
05:22Well done, Carol.
05:23Well done.
05:24Sally and Stephen, here's your next puzzle.
05:28Swallowing tree.
05:39Willow.
05:40It's certainly in there.
05:41Yes.
05:41Yes, it's the answer.
05:42I wonder, is there any other tree we could get out of there?
05:45Get an owl.
05:45We can get an owl out of the tree.
05:47Owl?
05:48Are we playing a different game now?
05:49No, sorry.
05:50We're just playing that game where we talk about things on the way through.
05:53That was the silly old me.
05:54Back to business.
05:55See this.
05:56Right, she's got her serious head on.
05:58Okay, Carol and Kevin, here's your final one.
06:03Elongated beards.
06:04Beards?
06:04I should know this, then, shouldn't I?
06:06Oh, yeah.
06:06You're a beard guy.
06:07Beard as the beard.
06:08Yes, well, goatee, would I say goatee?
06:11You want to go goatee?
06:12Very good.
06:13Okay, we like that.
06:14Let's see.
06:15Goatee, it's in there.
06:17It is the right answer.
06:19It's a goatee.
06:20Is it, I suppose?
06:21Yeah.
06:21Goatee is the right answer.
06:23So the last hidden answer puzzle of the round is this time for Sally and Stephen,
06:27because they were in second.
06:28Here's yours.
06:30Overbaked booze.
06:31We should know this one.
06:34I can see vodka.
06:35Yeah.
06:36Can I always?
06:38We can all see vodka now.
06:39Let's spell it out.
06:40V-O-D-K-A.
06:42Vodka.
06:43Vodka.
06:44Vodka.
06:45Okay, let's see if vodka is in there.
06:47Da.
06:48Da.
06:48It's there.
06:49Well done.
06:50Let's see what that's done to the scores.
06:53Carol and Kevin have now got six points.
06:55Sally and Stephen have got six points.
06:58So it couldn't be more exciting, and that includes everything on every channel.
07:03If you manage to solve it at home, well done, because it's really not as easy as they made
07:07it look in this first round.
07:08In a moment, it will be time to send our teams off to the letterbox, which might be an OTT
07:12way of putting it.
07:13They're only walking across the studio, after all.
07:14They're not going up Everest.
07:16Going first is Carol and Kevin.
07:17And the game you're playing tonight is Flipside.
07:23You're going to see a word.
07:24All you have to do is give us the opposite meaning of that word using the letters provided.
07:28The technical term for this is antonym, but antonym doesn't look good as a game show title.
07:34So we've been told not to say.
07:37I think it looks great.
07:38Solve the puzzle and you will get three points for your team.
07:40Here we go.
07:40Yeah.
07:41Here we are.
07:41Good example.
07:42Curse.
07:43Curse.
07:44Yes.
07:45Bless is curse.
07:46And that was contained in the anagram.
07:48Well done.
07:49We'll have no cursing in this round, though.
07:50It's a family show.
07:51Thank you very much.
07:52Carol and Kevin, do head over to the letterbox to play Flipside now.
07:56Let's go.
08:00Carol and Kevin, remember to hit the button when you have your answer.
08:03Don't forget you are looking for something that has the opposite meaning.
08:06Here is your first Flipside.
08:08Your time starts now.
08:11Wordy.
08:12What's your saying?
08:13Succinct, I think.
08:14Succinct.
08:14Ah, very good.
08:16Very good.
08:19That way.
08:20Yeah.
08:21OK.
08:22Very good.
08:24Yes.
08:24Yes.
08:24There's a certain succinctness about the gameplay there.
08:27Just bang.
08:27OK.
08:28Three Cs.
08:29Your second puzzle will have one extra letter available that you don't need.
08:32A red herring, if you will.
08:34But it's worth four points.
08:35If you're ready, your time starts now.
08:40Absence.
08:40Absence.
08:41Absence.
08:41Present.
08:42Present.
08:42Yes.
08:44Oh.
08:45Present.
08:46Yes.
08:46We don't need the Y.
08:48That's it.
08:49There's an extra letter.
08:49We don't need the Y, but the present.
08:51Wow.
08:51Gift.
08:52Absence.
08:53Exactly.
08:53Absence.
08:54Well done.
08:54Well done.
08:55OK.
08:55That threw me again, then.
08:57It's funny, having sometimes the extra letter or two is, and this next one is going to have
09:01two makes it harder, so that'll confuse you further, but if you solve it, it's worth
09:05five points.
09:06So, let's go.
09:07Your time starts now.
09:08Now, the word is courtesy.
09:10Courtesy.
09:10Courtesy.
09:10Courtesy.
09:11Courtesy.
09:12I am.
09:12Is it rudeness?
09:15Is it rudeness?
09:16Is it rudeness?
09:17Yes, it is.
09:17Straight away.
09:19Rudeness.
09:19Yes.
09:21Yes.
09:22Yes.
09:22Yes.
09:22Yes.
09:24The thing is, I was seeing kindness there, which is not an antonym, so I didn't understand
09:29the basic concept of the game.
09:30He said the word.
09:32Yes, you said it.
09:33Oh, we've got to put money in the swear box for that, I'm afraid.
09:37But yes, rudeness is the antonym of courtesy.
09:40Good effort, Carol and Kevin.
09:41Your trip to the letterbox has scored you 12 points.
09:43Sally and Stephen.
09:44Oh, no.
09:45I didn't get any of it.
09:46Not after that.
09:47You didn't get them?
09:48No.
09:48Let's see.
09:49You'll get your chance in just the tick.
09:51Not for a few minutes, though, because it's time for a pre-arranged ad break, and I would
09:54press on with the show myself, but you've got to be present or it's no fun.
09:58See you soon.
10:02Have a go at this path words puzzle.
10:05Swap the letters in just one column to reveal the answers.
10:09Choose wisely.
10:21Did you swap the correct letters and solve this path words puzzle?
10:26If you solved it, well done.
10:30Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling.
10:32We're thrilled to have you with us, aren't we, folks?
10:34Oh, yes.
10:35So excited.
10:36Yes, there we are.
10:36So genuine, genuine.
10:37They are actors, but they are thrilled, honestly.
10:39We're mid-round.
10:40Time to crack on with Flipside.
10:42So Sally and Stephen's turn at the letterbox.
10:45You are colleagues.
10:46You don't want to fall out here.
10:47You're going to see a word.
10:49You're looking for the opposite meaning to find the correct answer.
10:52When you're ready to lock in the answer, hit the button.
10:54You'll score three points if you solve the first puzzle.
10:57Sally and Stephen, here's your first one.
10:59Your time starts now.
11:02Destroy.
11:03Oh, well done, Sally Lindsay.
11:05Yes, Sally Lindsay.
11:10Fantastic.
11:11So good.
11:12So good.
11:13Destroy.
11:14OK, right, well done.
11:15You got it.
11:16Bang on.
11:16Your second puzzle will have one extra letter available that you don't need.
11:20I know, Stephen.
11:20Really throws you that.
11:21How are the legs?
11:22Are they shaking?
11:23I'm all right.
11:24You're OK.
11:24Use the table for stability.
11:26Vardis is so good at this.
11:27I'm just glad I've got one.
11:29Well, don't worry.
11:30It's all going your way still.
11:32It's worth four points for the next one.
11:33And here it is.
11:34Your time starts now.
11:37Safe.
11:38Perilous.
11:40Perilous.
11:41Oh, Sally.
11:42I was going to say unsafe.
11:44Perilous.
11:45Is that right?
11:45I don't know how to spell it, though.
11:46Oh, you.
11:48Oh, does that count that it's salt one?
11:50Is that right?
11:50Is that right?
11:51Is that right?
11:51It is.
11:53It very much is.
11:54It's gone green.
11:55Well done.
11:56How great is that?
11:58Your final puzzle has two red herring letters just to confuse you further.
12:02But if you solve it, it's worth five points.
12:04Let's do it.
12:04Your time starts now.
12:06Oh, no.
12:06What is it?
12:07It's significance.
12:08Right.
12:09Irrelevant.
12:10No.
12:10No.
12:11No.
12:12Um, unwanted.
12:13Um, significant is discarded.
12:18Can't think of anything except insignificant.
12:21Significant.
12:22So we've got...
12:23Uh, waste.
12:25No.
12:26No.
12:28L and a T.
12:29They always go together.
12:30This one's hard.
12:32Significant is, and it's, uh, marginal, is it?
12:36No.
12:36No, there's no G.
12:37There's no, uh...
12:38Uh, you're running out of time.
12:41It is trivial.
12:43Trivial.
12:44Oh, oh, oh.
12:45Five seconds.
12:47Oh.
12:48Oh, my gosh.
12:50Oh, the agony.
12:51Was it right, though?
12:53No, it was right.
12:54Oh, it's gone green as well, to add to the pain of this situation.
13:00Oh, and I was looking at the W and the M and wanting them to be in it.
13:04Did you get it, you guys?
13:05Yeah, we did, yeah.
13:06Oh.
13:07Did you whisper it to each other?
13:08Yes, we did.
13:08Yeah, you got it just a...
13:10Just literally a second too late.
13:12There we go.
13:12Oh, please head back to your seats.
13:14Oh, goodness.
13:18How many points did you rack up at home?
13:20Well done, Sally and Stephen.
13:22Your visit to the Letterboxd has scored you seven points,
13:25so we'll see now what's happened to the overall scores.
13:27Sally and Stephen.
13:28Thirteen.
13:30Yeah.
13:30Carol and Kevin.
13:32Eighteen.
13:33Oh, my goodness.
13:35It was that trivial thing, wasn't it?
13:37All right.
13:38No, all right.
13:38I mean, you know, I'm just mentioning what's been happening.
13:40What's been happening, Jezza?
13:40In case anyone's just catching up with us, it's been...
13:43You've been in.
13:43They had, you know, a little moment.
13:46Kevin, tell us about Tolkien and all that stuff you're doing at the moment,
13:49because it's amazing.
13:50The Rings of Power, yes.
13:52The Rings of Power.
13:52The Rings of Power, Tolkien-based, in which I play a dwarven warrior,
13:58and there's a lot of big beards and hair, and that's just the ladies.
14:04But you're three hours, you're three hours in the chair,
14:06and, you know, it's five o'clock in the morning,
14:08sometimes it's three and a half hours.
14:09And quite often, you just fall asleep.
14:11But it's all right, because you just wake up,
14:12and then suddenly you've turned into Brian Blessed and you get paid for it.
14:16It's brilliant.
14:17Stephen, you're also a black belt in Taekwondo.
14:19I am.
14:20People don't think this about me.
14:21No?
14:22Well, I didn't imagine.
14:23I know.
14:23Have you ever had to use it?
14:26Well, not in real life.
14:28However, I did use it on Madame Blanc last series.
14:31Well, it's stupidly, over the odd glass of wine,
14:33and he told me that it was a black belt in Taekwondo.
14:35So what did I do?
14:36Wrote it in.
14:37I went back to my little computer and went,
14:38well, that's going in, kid.
14:40We say you haven't used it yet, but the game isn't quite over now.
14:43That's right.
14:45We might need some flying kicks.
14:47OK.
14:48This next round will test how good you are at deciphering codes.
14:50It's called Cipher.
14:54Here's an example for you to get you going.
14:56I'll give you a category clue,
14:57and then I'll show you the puzzle you have to solve,
14:59which is concealed by a code of symbols, U.S. First Lady.
15:03If you get it straight away, you'll bag three points.
15:05If you're struggling, I'll reveal a letter in the cipher.
15:09Anyone want to try that now first?
15:11Michelle.
15:12Michelle Obama, you think.
15:13OK.
15:14You think Michelle.
15:15But let's say if you couldn't do it,
15:16we'd say, OK, for two points, we can give you it if you get it now.
15:20We've given you the L.
15:21Yeah.
15:22And then we say, if you still can't do it,
15:24for one point, we've given you another letter,
15:26and then you can try it.
15:27And you are right, of course.
15:28Let's see the answer.
15:28Michelle Obama.
15:30That's how it works.
15:31Ideally, you want to solve it without seeing any letters at all.
15:34Sally and Stephen, you're going in first.
15:36Here's your cipher.
15:38Two words.
15:40Newspaper.
15:43OK, so let's use the newspaper.
15:45So it's two...
15:46What newspapers are they?
15:47Daily Mail.
15:48Daily Mail, of course it is.
15:50Daily Mail.
15:52Daily Mail, you say.
15:53Well, yes, it's funny enough.
15:54It's interesting how many letters are the same in those words,
15:57sharing three letters.
15:58Let's have a look.
16:00Daily Mail's right.
16:02Carol and Kevin, who is your first one?
16:05Again, two words.
16:07This time a medical condition.
16:09Well, it's got two the same in the second word,
16:11so that could be...
16:13Yeah.
16:15And it's not Daily Mail.
16:17Ooh, ooh, you know, at the bottom.
16:19Yeah, same starting letter.
16:20Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:22Not a hangover.
16:23No.
16:24Hangover.
16:25Interesting.
16:26It was.
16:28Got a double letter in the second word.
16:30Yeah.
16:30Something feet.
16:32Flat foot.
16:34Flat feet.
16:35Flat feet or flat foot.
16:36Flat feet or flat foot.
16:38Flat feet.
16:40Flat feet.
16:40Let's see if that's right.
16:42Flat feet.
16:44I'm really in medical conditions.
16:47Blimey!
16:49Wow.
16:51Wow.
16:52That is good work.
16:53Well done, mate.
16:54Flat feet.
16:55The next ones might be tougher.
16:57Sally, Stephen, here's yours.
17:01Oh, dear.
17:02Out come the emojis.
17:03Festive fun.
17:05Is it C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A...
17:10So, Christmas...
17:12Cracker?
17:13Is it C-R...

17:17Oh, that would work.
17:18Christmas.
17:19C-H-R-I-S-T...
17:21Yep.
17:22Christmas.
17:23Cracker.
17:23Cracker.
17:24Say it.
17:24Say it.
17:24Christmas cracker, you say.
17:30It's a cracker.
17:32Christmas crackers right this is hotly contested again Carol and Kevin also playing well for your next cypher here we
17:39go
17:41Two words
17:42Different flags this time monopoly property monopoly
17:46So limited choices here something
17:49Square but footster street goes in but the ukrainian flag that is what it is
17:54Yeah, straight t.e.t. That so that's means the
17:57T right Street, so any of those letters in the second one in the first one no, so
18:04There is hang on this might be very pertinent to the program. It could be vine street. Oh, no the
18:11e
18:11At the end isn't there is it right? That's a disappointment isn't it?
18:18Okay, roads Houston
18:21Northumberland Avenue Leicester Square
18:23We do need
18:25Okay
18:25Let's have a letter there so down to two points now if you get it the letter we can give
18:31you is T
18:32Oh
18:33That's useless
18:34They weren't listening I promise
18:36Yeah, worse than useless. Okay, that is so unfortunate
18:40Street, Oxford Street
18:41A, B, A, Angel, no
18:44You can ask for another letter
18:46It goes down to one point if you do
18:47God
18:49We're gonna have to have another letter
18:50Another letter
18:52Go on
18:53Okay, another letter down to one point
18:55Don't give a C
18:55It's in the D
18:56Oh
18:59Err
18:59Endy
19:01Bond Street
19:03Bond Street
19:04Bond Street
19:04Is that your answer?
19:05Yes
19:06Yes, yes, yes
19:07Bond Street is their answer
19:09Let's see
19:10I was doubting myself there
19:11Doubting myself there
19:12Yeah
19:12Look at that
19:13It's hard there
19:14So I was desperately
19:16I was praying for Vine Street
19:17Oh
19:18Such a
19:19Narcissist
19:22The level might get a bit harder again now for your final ones each
19:25Here's yours, Sally and Stephen
19:27Oh, blimey
19:28Oh my God
19:28So shapes here
19:30Different colours
19:31Dogbreed
19:32Dogbreed
19:33Two words
19:35There's two, right, there's two letters there
19:37So, yeah
19:38That's it
19:39Tell me a
19:41Because it's two Rs
19:42Or is it
19:43Tell me a
19:45No, it's two
19:45It's not right
19:46No, there needs to be another letter
19:49Would you like a letter?
19:50Yeah
19:51Okay, let's give you one
19:53L
19:54Oh
19:55I love something
19:56Is it some colour?
19:58Collie?
19:59Collie
20:00Border Collie
20:01Border Collie
20:02Yes
20:02Border Collie, you say
20:04Oh, no
20:05Not now he said it like that
20:06For two points, let's have a look
20:08Yeah, that's right, I'm right
20:09Well played
20:12You shouldn't say it like that
20:14You were like Border Collie, you say
20:15I was like
20:16Well that's wrong
20:17Oh my God
20:18Nice
20:18Do you know I used to live next door to a Border Collie called Trixie?
20:22There you go
20:22Thank you Trixie
20:23All right, the final cipher to solve for Carol and Kevin
20:26Here it comes both
20:28Oh, loving it
20:29Okay, we've got those symbols now
20:31And it's a crafting tool, please
20:34A craft
20:36A craft
20:36A whittler
20:37A saw or a...
20:38Whittle
20:38No
20:39A sewing needle or...
20:43Needle
20:44Yes
20:44Yes
20:44Johnny
20:46A knitting needle
20:50Knitting needle
20:50Knitting needle, I think
20:51Oh
20:52Oh
20:52We think it might be knitting needle
20:56I don't know how you've done it if it's right, but let's see
21:00Knitting needle
21:00Oh
21:02She got that as well, Sally did get it
21:03I got it as well
21:04I can't believe it
21:05Knitting needle
21:06Well done
21:07At the end of that round
21:08Very
21:08Sally and Stephen have played so well
21:1021 points
21:11Carol and Kevin have played even better
21:1325 points
21:14Oh, not bad
21:15It was just ahead
21:17Just
21:18The wits of a knitting needle
21:20Did you, playing at home, manage to outscore our celebrities?
21:23Because they're all playing really well today
21:25So, Carol, Sally, Kevin and Stephen are clearly exhausted from their exertions
21:29Poor lambs
21:30We'll have a quick break
21:31We'll see you in a few minutes
21:36Can you use the clue and pick the starting point to solve this around the block puzzle?
21:41All will be revealed after the break
21:54Did you successfully solve this around the block puzzle?
22:00If you cracked it, well done
22:04Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling
22:06I'm Jeremy Vine
22:07My karaoke song is Gold by Spandau Ballet
22:09Relevant, perhaps, but interesting
22:11Speaking of interesting
22:13Carol and Sally are currently locked in a real battle for puzzling supremacy today
22:17Alongside Kevin Eldon and Stephen Bailey
22:20This is where Kevin and Stephen are put to the ultimate puzzling test
22:23So it is time for the celebrity guest puzzler head-to-head
22:26And the game is join the dots
22:32So here, Carol and Sally can kick back a little and let their celebrity guests take the load
22:37Kevin and Stephen, on the screen you will be shown a puzzle consisting of a category in a series of
22:42dots
22:42So you can see the category there is school
22:44And the dots will start to spell out the correct answer
22:48There we are
22:49Just an example
22:50Head teacher is it?
22:52Yes
22:52Yes
22:53There we are
22:54Okay, the first player to buzz in and give the correct answer will score two points
22:57If a player buzzes incorrectly with their answer the animation will freeze
23:01And their opponent will have the chance to steal
23:03So, be quick but be right
23:05And you've seen how it works
23:07There are five puzzles to solve
23:08Fingers on buzzers
23:09Here we go
23:11Music event is the clue
23:14Kevin
23:15I'm guessing that it might be Glastonbury
23:18Is that right?
23:21No
23:22Chance to steal
23:23Is it Glastonbury Festival?
23:25Is it Glastonbury Festival?
23:28Bruce
23:28Oh no
23:30No
23:30Go on, go on
23:31You were fast but maybe too fast
23:34Yes
23:34Okay, here is the next one
23:37Category goalkeeper
23:38Oh for goodness sake
23:42If it's not Gordon Banks I don't know who it is
23:44Oh well that's good for me actually
23:51That's when you know
23:52Kevin
23:53Oh
23:54It's there basically isn't it?
23:56Go on
23:56Is it Jordan Pickford?
23:58It's Jordan Pickford
24:03Here's the next one then
24:04It probably isn't football
24:05No it's not
24:06It's Stateman
24:06And we're going to show you the dots
24:08And they start to move now
24:09Buzz when you know
24:12Oh it's just coming together
24:15Well there must be something in there
24:17Oh
24:18Steven
24:19Nelson Mandela
24:19Nelson Mandela
24:21Is it right?
24:22Yes it is
24:22Well done
24:25Well done
24:26Time for another
24:27Action stations
24:28Category
24:29Cult TV
24:30Oh
24:31I hope if they mention this show we're going to get on the pitch
24:36Oh
24:37Steven
24:38Stranger Things
24:39Stranger Things he says
24:41Is Stranger Things right?
24:42Not for you
24:43We were talking about that earlier
24:45We were only just talking about that
24:46We were only just talking about that
24:47You've got your eye in haven't you?
24:48Next one called TV please
24:49Stranger Things he says
24:50Right
24:51Another please
24:53Final one now
24:54Tennis player
24:58Two words
25:00Sort of equal length words
25:03Looking for letters
25:04Lots of verticals
25:08Steven
25:09Yannick Sinner
25:12It's virtually complete
25:14Is that right?
25:16Yannick Sinner
25:17Yannick Sinner
25:18Yes
25:18Of course you do
25:19Yannick
25:19So there we are
25:20Well done Kevin and Steven
25:21Kevin two points there
25:23Steven just scooted ahead there with seven
25:26So let's look at the totals then
25:29Carol and Kevin 27 points
25:32Steven and Sally have now moved ahead with 28
25:36Oh my goodness
25:38What a contest we have here
25:40Come on what's going on
25:41Did you find Yannick Sinner or Yannick Sinner
25:43Before Steven
25:44Before Kevin I think maybe
25:45You're still looking for him
25:46Still looking for him
25:48Our next round is all about making some serious shapes
25:50Yes it is shape shifters
25:52Oh I like those
25:54So show you an example of how this one works
25:56You will see a grid of answers
25:57A question and a corresponding shape
25:59Simply give me the correct answers
26:00That fit exactly inside the shape
26:02So pretty simple shape here
26:04By the way of course
26:05Sally you cannot
26:06Rotate the shape
26:07Rotate the shape
26:08The shape's brilliant
26:08Can I take exception to that as a catch phrase
26:11Why?
26:12I've got an alternative
26:13Oh go on then
26:14It may be a shame
26:16But the squares stay the same
26:17Oh
26:19Can we write that down upstairs?
26:21Write that down
26:21It might be a shame
26:22But the squares stay the same
26:25You say
26:25It may be a shame
26:27And I say
26:27But the squares stay the same
26:29Right
26:30So here
26:31This is just the example
26:32Film is directed by Alfred Hitchcock
26:34And we're looking for one above the other
26:36Like the shape
26:37Psycho and the birds
26:38Psycho and the birds
26:39The birds and psycho
26:40Well they were certainly his
26:42Let's have a look and see if that's right
26:44That's good
26:44And then we can also show you other ones by him
26:47Vertigo
26:47Vertigo
26:48Strangers on a Train
26:49Yeah
26:49So that's how it works
26:51Sally and Stephen are up first
26:52Here is your first shape shifter puzzle
26:55Two points on the line
26:57Playing pieces in the board game operation
26:59Oh okay
27:00Funny bone definitely
27:01Definitely wishbone
27:02Definitely wishbone
27:04Oh yes
27:04Is it broken heart or wishbone?
27:06I think broken heart
27:07I don't know
27:08You tell me
27:08No you tell me
27:09I was seven the last time I played it so
27:12I would guess wishbone and broken heart
27:14Let's do it
27:15Let's do wishbone and broken heart
27:16Let's do that
27:17Okay
27:18So playing pieces in the board game operation
27:21You've gone for wishbone and broken heart
27:22Is that right?
27:24Yeah
27:25Well done
27:26Bravo
27:27Funny bone and Adam's apple would have also counted
27:31But they didn't fit the shape
27:32So Carol and Kevin
27:34Here is your first shape shifters puzzle
27:37Peppa Pig characters
27:39And it may be a shame
27:41But the squares
27:42Stay the same
27:44Oh
27:44He says it's one on top of the other Peppa Pig characters
27:49Have you ever seen Peppa Pig?
27:49Yes it's a few years ago now
27:51Yeah
27:51Because mine are sort of out
27:53My kids are too old
27:53Yeah
27:54I don't recognise Adam Adder
27:56No
27:57Mandy Mouse, Harriet Hedgehog
28:00In which case if there is no Adam Adder
28:02Then that centre one's out isn't it?
28:05Yeah I guess so yeah
28:06Yeah
28:06Okay I think we should try Mandy Mouse and Harriet Hedgehog
28:12But I'm not sure
28:13Cool
28:13Okay we're going Hedgehog Mouse
28:16Hedgehog and Mouse is your answer
28:18Let's see Harriet and Mandy
28:19Let's see if that's right
28:21Yeah
28:22Oh
28:23You can steal for a point
28:24My kids are 15 now
28:25But I watch this like with like one eye open
28:29Yeah
28:29Till I was sleep
28:30I think it might be Freddy Fox and Zoe Zebra
28:33Is it?
28:34All right
28:35Are you right about that?
28:36Freddy Fox and Zoe Zebra
28:37Let's see
28:38For a steal
28:39Yeah
28:40Well done
28:55Formation are Freddy and Zoe
28:56Yes
28:57Sally and Stephen here's your second puzzle
28:58The shape has been increased
28:59So now you need to find three answers in the grid that match the shape
29:03And we've made the grid bigger
29:05This is worth three points now but you still can't rotate the shape
29:09Here we go
29:09What a shame
29:11Performers at Live Aid
29:12Oh what a great one
29:13So it's one above the other and then a diagonal downwards
29:17It's
29:17It is
29:19Yeah
29:19It's not Black Lace
29:21It's The Who definitely
29:23They did both Live Aid
29:24Status Quo was the first act on
29:26And Brian Ferry
29:28Now
29:30That I think is it
29:31So that's what I'm going for
29:32The Who, Status Quo, Brian Ferry
29:35The Who, Status Quo, Brian Ferry
29:36And you're in sort of a music industry adjacent
29:39And my husband played the second Live Aid
29:41Oh
29:42So he played with The Who on the second Live Aid
29:44Wow
29:45He's the only drummer that played with both
29:47So he played the Style Council in the first
29:49Did he? Fantastic
29:49Um
29:50Okay, let's see if you're right
29:52The Who, Status Quo, Brian Ferry
29:55I did think when that came off I thought
29:57Uh oh
29:58Anyone know any other
29:59I mean Elvis was there of course
30:01Queen
30:02Elvis Costello, Queen
30:03Yeah
30:04Sade, how can we forget Sade
30:06Brilliant, Elvis
30:07There we go
30:07Okay, Carol, Kevin for three points
30:09Next one
30:12Cities in the Southern Hemisphere
30:13Be careful here
30:14Okay
30:14You've got an L-shaped
30:16And we know it's a shame
30:18But the squares are part of the game
30:20So I am very good
30:22That's not the right motto
30:23But it was quite good
30:23Yes
30:25Johannesburg
30:26Johannesburg, yes
30:27Yes
30:27Because Kenya is on the equator, isn't it?
30:31And Joburg is below
30:33Yes
30:33So I'll say that's Southern Hemisphere
30:34Okay
30:35Buenos Aires
30:36Buenos Aires
30:37Buenos Aires is pretty low down
30:38Yeah
30:39And Auckland is
30:41And Auckland is
30:41Obviously, yeah
30:42We're going for Johannesburg, Buenos Aires and Auckland
30:48Let's see if you're right
30:51Yeah, very good
30:53Very good
30:54Very good
30:55So if I...
30:55Shall I just run through a few for you?
30:57Yes
30:57So Brisbane, Australia, Harare in anyone?
31:01I don't know where
31:02Which country?
31:03Kenya
31:04Zimbabwe
31:05Zimbabwe
31:05Zimbabwe
31:06Okay, Sally and Stephen
31:06Here's your final one
31:07It's a slightly larger grid this time
31:09But you're still looking for three answers that match the shape
31:11It's one and then it's one up and one down on the diagonal
31:14Okay
31:14Sports with round balls, please
31:17So rugby's no
31:18Okay, no rugby
31:19Is that like...
31:20Ice hockey, no
31:22Croquet, yes
31:23Table tennis, yes
31:25Water polo, yes
31:26Who's water polo?
31:27Yes
31:27Erm
31:29Canadian football
31:31What's billions?
31:32Billiards, isn't that like chess?
31:33Billiards, yeah
31:35I don't know what shinty is
31:37Ice hockey's a puck, no
31:38Because field hockey's a round ball
31:40And I don't know what shinty and billiards is
31:42Is it?
31:42Billiards, alright
31:43Because field hockey's on the grass, isn't it?
31:45I think it is
31:46Field hockey, billiards and shinty, whatever that is
31:49Do you know what shinty is?
31:51No
31:52We do need an answer
31:55Medical condition, isn't it?
31:56I think guess that
31:57Field hockey, billiards and shinty, whatever that is
32:01Yes
32:01Alright, shinty, billiards, field hockey
32:03Let's see if it's right
32:04He says it like that
32:05He says it like that
32:06Ah
32:07Well done, Stephen, on knowing field hockey was a ball
32:10I guess hockey tends to have balls, does it?
32:12Yeah
32:12Shinty is played in the Scottish Highlands, he said respectfully
32:17Billiards, of course, round balls
32:18Field hockey round
32:19Let's have a look at the other ones that do have round balls
32:22Obviously table tennis
32:23Water polo
32:24Croquet
32:25Cricket
32:26Lacrosse
32:27Yeah
32:27But you can't put them into the right shape
32:30No
32:30No
32:31Because it seems a shame
32:34Seems a shame
32:35Might be a shame
32:35But you can't make the squares take the blame
32:38No, but the squares stay the same
32:40Exactly, yes
32:41The squares stay the same
32:42It's as bad as you can't rotate the shapes
32:44No one's getting it
32:45Alright, Carol and Kevin, here we go
32:48Words in the title of C.S. Lewis's Narnia books
32:51It's three, one dropped between the other two
32:55So we're going like that
32:56Yeah
32:59But it was the silver armchair or the chair or something
33:07Nephew, nephew's in one
33:10Dawn's in one
33:11Voyage in gold
33:14Lion, witch and wardrobe
33:15Yeah
33:15Is there a secret?
33:17Is there a secret one?
33:18Prince Caspian
33:19It can't be secret because of the shape
33:22It might be a shame, but the squares stay the same
33:25Is it?
33:26Yeah
33:26Well, yeah, that's a rule, isn't it?
33:28Yeah
33:28Secret wardrobe, prince?
33:31Prince?
33:32Okay, let's try
33:33Dawn, voyage, golden
33:36Go on
33:36Dawn, voyage, golden
33:38Let's have a look
33:39Dawn, voyage, golden
33:41Oh

33:43You can steal for a point
33:46It must be
33:48Prince, wardrobe, secret then
33:49Secret, wardrobe, prince
33:51Let's have a look
33:52Oh

33:55This will be good
33:55So let's reveal the answer, please
33:58Oh
33:58Voyage, horse, battle
34:00Oh
34:00You're absolutely right
34:02I mean, Kevin, you're very good on this
34:03Because Voyage of the Dawn Treader
34:04Is a title
34:05So Dawn would have counted as well
34:07But we'll come to that in a second
34:08The last battle is a title
34:11The last battle
34:11The last battle
34:11And the horse and his boy is a title
34:14Oh, I don't remember that one
34:15We'll have a look at the other ones
34:17So, lion, witch and wardrobe
34:19Oh, yeah
34:19The count for two of them
34:20Dawn Treader we've got there
34:21The magician's nephew
34:23Nephew
34:24Prince Caspian
34:25And the silver chair
34:26But Voyage, battle horse
34:28What a good question
34:29That was tough
34:29I'm so stumped you both
34:30That was hard
34:31At the end of that round
34:32Carol and Kevin
34:33Have
34:3530 points
34:36That's sick
34:36Sally and Steven
34:38Are just moving away
34:40With 37
34:44So, what do you make of that?
34:46That was quite a round, wasn't it?
34:47Lots of fun
34:48Are you beating our celebrities?
34:49It's time for our penultimate round
34:51Here, both teams will be tackling the letterbox
34:53And the fastest team to solve their puzzle
34:55Will receive two bonus points
34:57Which could be crucial
34:57Come the end of the show
34:58So, it's time to play Letterbox Ladder
35:03Show you how it works now
35:04So, you're going to see
35:05Three key words appear on the screen
35:08Wind out mouth
35:10And then a series of spaces between them
35:13And you've got to find connecting words
35:15So, for example
35:16Will you give this a go?
35:17You've got letters to choose from above
35:18So, wind something
35:20Word that comes after wind
35:22Chill

35:47Will be laid out in front of you
35:49And as always, you'll be against the clock
35:51You can solve the ladder in any order
35:53And as soon as you've completed the entire puzzle
35:55You must hit the button to stop the clock
35:57You'll score two points per solved word
36:00However, if you complete all three words faster than your opponents
