00:00Hello, I'm Jeremy Vine. Well done if you've got that at home.
00:02It's my considerable pleasure to be serving up another installment of TV's most befuddling hour.
00:07In a moment, two teams of celebrities will take on a series of games we've devised
00:12to stretch their ability and attention span to their very limits.
00:17This is Celebrity Puzzling.
00:35Hello, welcome to Celebrity Puzzling, Valued Viewer.
00:38Let's start with a few introductions.
00:40Helping me steer this televisual container ship as ever are my two better halves.
00:45She's a cheat code, any pub quiz, it is the wonderful Carol Vorderman.
00:50And her foe this evening, fellow team captain and thespian of note,
00:55enter stage right, Sally Lindsay.
00:59How are we doing? I love the salute, Sal. How are we doing?
01:02I might start that.
01:04Tonight, Carol and Sally won't just be relying on their own considerable brain power,
01:07they will have some added naus from a couple of famous faces,
01:10proper celebrities, with their own websites and everything.
01:15Giving Carol Vorderman a helping hand is a rugby union star
01:18and former British and Irish lion.
01:20Lucky for us, Carol is a bit of a lion tamer.
01:23It is Ugo Monge.
01:26Tagging along with Sally Lindsay is a Radio 1 DJ
01:29who's also invented several board games.
01:32That's a kind of fascinating guy.
01:33We think he's sizing our programme up and working out
01:35if it could be put into three dimensions.
01:38It's Matt Edmondson. Welcome, Matt.
01:42Ugo, how are you at puzzling?
01:44I know you're brilliant at rugby.
01:45I enjoy puzzling.
01:47That doesn't necessarily mean you're good at it.
01:49You're going to be brilliant.
01:50Am I?
01:51Yeah, you really are.
01:52OK, we're manifesting it.
01:53So I'm going to be brilliant today.
01:54Yes.
01:55Now, Matt, you and I have talked about sport before.
01:57It's not particularly a thing.
01:58It's not my thing at all, no.
01:59No.
02:00I mean, I broke my wrist once playing hockey at secondary school.
02:03Yeah, no, that counts.
02:05Well, good luck to you both tonight.
02:06In every episode, our teams face a selection of six random games
02:10plucked from our puzzling archives.
02:12I dust them off and hand them over to you folks to play.
02:14This means that no two contests are ever the same,
02:17although some are more painful than others.
02:19It's just the luck of the draw.
02:20Players, over the six rounds,
02:22all you need to do is score as many points as possible.
02:25We need to point that out.
02:26That's the main takeaway.
02:27And it's important because you want a big lead
02:28going into the final round, Answer Bank,
02:30where everything can change.
02:32And to add another frisson of excitement,
02:34the winning celebrity guest will take home
02:36an amazing puzzling cube.
02:39So just hold the arms of your chair
02:41as you watch it on the screen here.
02:42Stay stable, stay strong.
02:46Here it actually is.
02:48No.
02:48For real.
02:49Yeah.
02:49Isn't it beautiful?
02:49It's extraordinary.
02:51Has Radio 1 ever given out a prize like this, Matt?
02:53Be honest.
02:53Nothing of that quality.
02:54It's the BBC, Jeremy, you know that.
02:56Yeah.
02:56We can't afford to give out treasures like this.
02:58Hang on a minute.
02:59I'm getting into it.
03:01That's hours of fun, there.
03:03There's hours.
03:04And we haven't even tried all the permutations yet.
03:06So without further ado, let's play round one.
03:09It's time to make some serious shapes
03:10as we take on shape-shifters.
03:15We'll see an example of how this works.
03:17It's got a very important rule, which we'll come to.
03:19Aussie slang would be the clue here.
03:21And you see a grid of answers below it.
03:24And then, crucially, you see the shape.
03:26And the shape is two squares next to each other.
03:28And Carol, as we know, you...
03:30Can't rotate the shapes.
03:31You can't rotate the shape, strictly speaking.
03:35Oh.
03:35There is only one.
03:36One day we'll get it right, one of us.
03:37You can't.
03:39So just give me the correct answers that fit exactly inside the shape.
03:43Oh, my goodness.
03:43Is it Oxtron Dunny?
03:45Oxtron?
03:45What's Oxtron?
03:46I have no idea, but Dunny definitely is Aussie slang.
03:48Let's have a look at the answer then.
03:50What's that?
03:52What is that?
03:52Badgie smugglers is swimming trunks, sport.
03:54Snag is what we call a sausage, so there is a kind of a connection.
03:58Really?
03:59Tinny can of beer, thongs are flip-flops.
04:02Yeah.
04:02Cobber, good friend.
04:03Yeah.
04:04And Dunny?
04:05Toilet!
04:06Correct.
04:07Sally and Matt, you're up first.
04:09Here is your puzzle for two points.
04:12People who played Henry VIII on screen.
04:15Ooh.
04:17OK.
04:18I feel like Damien Lewis has.
04:20Sid James has.
04:21Yeah.
04:22Ray Winston has.
04:24Is Damien Lewis?
04:25I think Damien Lewis has.
04:26Ray Winston definitely has.
04:27So Ray Winston and Damien Lewis.
04:29Yeah.
04:30Ray Winston and Damien Lewis is your answer.
04:33Is it correct?
04:36Oh!
04:38Well done.
04:39So, Ray Winston, you're absolutely right.
04:412003 TV drama Henry VIII.
04:43And then Damien Lewis in Wolf Hall.
04:45And let me show you in orange the other ones who did as well.
04:49So Richard Burton, yes.
04:50Sid James, yes.
04:52Carry on Henry.
04:52Carry on Henry.
04:53Carol and Ugo, here's your first shapeshifters puzzle.
04:57Biscuits in a McVitie's family circle box.
04:59I don't think Gary Baldi is.
05:00Look at the shape.
05:01I don't think Gary Baldi should exist as a biscuit.
05:04Don't you?
05:05No.
05:05We could fall out very quickly on that.
05:07That is controversial.
05:08So we look at the shape.
05:09Pink wafers, definitely, because you go for those.
05:12I think so.
05:13I mean, milk, chocolate, digestive.
05:16Is that in a family circle?
05:17It's a classic, yeah, I would say so, yeah.
05:18Yeah, so pink wafer, is a rich tea in a family circle?
05:22Or is that a bit too basic?
05:23No, it's too basic.
05:25We're going...
05:26So you think pink wafer?
05:26Yeah, and...
05:28Milk, chocolate, digestive.
05:30Yeah.
05:30Pink wafer and milk, chocolate, digestive.
05:34Oh!
05:35No!
05:35You can steal.
05:36Matt and Sally.
05:38Is it...
05:39Is it...
05:40You think it's that?
05:40What do you think it is?
05:41Well, I know a bourbon cream's in there, but...
05:44I don't think a fig roll.
05:45I don't think a fig roll is, yes.
05:46I think it's a custard cream and anise.
05:48Nice.
05:49Nice.
05:50Nice.
05:51Nice, nice.
05:52She's travelled.
05:52I thought it was anise.
05:54Think it's a custard cream and anise.
05:56Custard cream and anise.
05:57We're calling it in a very classy way.
05:59Is it anise and a custard cream?
06:01Yes, well done.
06:03Well done.
06:03The other ones, I can show you.
06:05Bourbon cream is in there.
06:07So is milk, chocolate, digestive.
06:09Pink wafer is not.
06:11We've all hallucinated the pink wafer in there.
06:13Yeah.
06:14Here's your second puzzle, Sally and Matt.
06:17Adjectives in D-I-S-C-O by Ottawan.
06:20Oh, OK.
06:20What a great question.
06:21Look at the shape.
06:22One above the other and then one below on a diagonal.
06:29Oh, it's desirable, irresistible, super sexy.
06:32Super sexy, irresistible and desirable like old Vorders over there.
06:37Oh, there we go.
06:38Right, let's have a look.
06:40Desirable, irresistible or super sexy?
06:42Yes!
06:44Look at the other possible answers.
06:45Crazy, crazy, impossible, complicated and disastrous.
06:49Carol and Ugo for three points.
06:52Oh, here we go.
06:52Booked by Ginny Cooper.
06:53Oh, this is brilliant.
06:55You are three next to each other.
06:56OK.
06:58It's definitely riders and polo to a...
07:01Grind?
07:03Grind?
07:03Riders and polo and rivals are definitely by her.
07:10I'm leaning heavily on you.
07:12OK.
07:13So, polo, riders, rivals, but that doesn't fit the shape.
07:17I don't know that it's jump, but I do know we've got two in order.
07:21So, you've got riders and polo.
07:23Definitely.
07:24OK.
07:25Back yourself.
07:26So, we go riders, polo and jump?
07:29Yeah.
07:29OK.
07:30Riders, polo, jump is your answer.
07:32Let's see.
07:33Is it right?
07:35Excellent.
07:36Yes.
07:37I'm very pleased.
07:38Twang is not.
07:39It's a Lionel Bart musical about Robin Hood.
07:42Yeah.
07:43Rivals and wicked.
07:44Let's just have a look.
07:45Rivals and wicked are tackle is, mount is.
07:48They all are.
07:49Sally and Matt, here's your final one.
07:51This is a slightly larger grid this time,
07:53but you're still looking for three answers that match the shape.
07:55Don't rotate it.
07:57UK place names.
07:58Lovely next.
07:59Wonderful.
08:00It's a kind of a reverse L.
08:02Look at that, on a corner.
08:05What?
08:05So, Ed Balls isn't one.
08:06So, it won't be, that rules out Drunk Man and Tiddy Ho.
08:09It's hitting me, isn't it?
08:10I think...
08:11Lois Snell, Great Cock Up and Wet Whang's looking favourable.
08:14Pratt's Bottom.
08:15I don't think Great Cock Up is.
08:17I, hmm.
08:19I think it's either Fanny Bark's, Magamere, Pratt's Bottom.
08:22Wow.
08:23It's a Great Froth, Pratt's Bottom, Great Cock Up.
08:25Because there's some fantastic names in England.
08:27I think Pratt's Bottom is one.
08:30Right, if that's the case.
08:31I think Wet Whang might also be one as well.
08:33But that one, we've got that.
08:34We can't rotate the shape.
08:35No, I know, but you could do Wet Whang, Great Cock Up,
08:38but lower swell.
08:39Lower swell, surely not.
08:42It could be anything, really, couldn't it?
08:43Apart from Bodies Walls, Pity Me and Itchy Bottom.
08:45Then again, that might be, well, Tiddy Ho definitely is one.
08:47Itchy Bottom's not going to be.
08:49No, it's not.
08:50Unless it's in a carry-on film.
08:52Fanny Barks.
08:53Fanny Barks, Magnum Sheath and Pratt's Bottom.
08:55Fanny Barks, Magnum Sheath, Pratt's Bottom.
08:58Let's see if that's right.
08:59A chance to steal.
09:02Now then, Wet Whang was a countdown favourite.
09:05Oh, was it?
09:06There's a little village in Yorkshire called Wet Whang.
09:09And Richard Whiteley, he became the honorary Lord Mayor of Wet Whang.
09:13So, Wet Whang, Great Cock Up and Lower Swell.
09:17Let's see if that's right.
09:20Oh, well done.
09:21Wet Whang, Great Cock Up, Lower Swell.
09:24So, shall we go through?
09:25These are brilliant.
09:26So, Wet Whang in Yorkshire, as Carol said.
09:28Lower Swell, Gloucestershire.
09:29Great Cock Up is in the Lake District.
09:31Oh!
09:32Real place.
09:33As to the others, have a look, these orange wines do all exist.
09:36Pity Me is in County Durham.
09:39Titty Ho is in Northamptonshire.
09:41Rimswell, Yorkshire.
09:42Pratt's Bottom, Kent.
09:43Fanny Barks, near Darlington.
09:46My internal dialogue is screaming so loud.
09:51We could do the whole show just on that question.
09:53It was such a brilliant question, thank you.
09:55Brilliant name.
09:55Thank you, question setters.
09:56Right, Carol and Ugo for three points.
10:00Flags that feature a circle.
10:02OK.
10:02You've got three.
10:03One up, one down, one across.
10:04OK, so we know Japan.
10:06That's it.
10:06Yeah.
10:07But that could be one of the yellow ones.
10:10Of course.
10:10I'm trying to now think.
10:12So.
10:13Hang on.
10:13Brazil.
10:14It's got a circle in the middle.
10:16Blue, green.
10:17I'll go with you on this.
10:18I think so.
10:19I'm certain South Korea does.
10:21I've got a feeling that has.
10:23So, if that's the case, that we've got Brazil, South Korea and Tunisia is my gamble.
10:29I'm going with you.
10:30You went with me on the wet one.
10:32So, I'll go with you on the one.
10:34Tunisia, South Korea, Brazil.
10:36Is that the right answer?
10:40Oh, well done.
10:41I'm so happy.
10:43Well done.
10:44Well done.
10:45So, I'm sorry.
10:46You've got Tunisia, Brazil, South Korea.
10:48That was brilliant puzzling, guys.
10:50Palau County.
10:50Uganda has a circle as well.
10:52So, we're just talking about any sort of sphere circle in the flag.
10:55Well done.
10:55Well done.
10:56Well done.
10:56That was good by both teams.
10:58What a great round.
11:00Sally and Matt have got to six.
11:03Carol and Ugo have got to seven.
11:07Dramatic score.
11:08So, are you beating our celebrities so far?
11:10It's time to send our team's packing all the way to our famous letterbox.
11:14Going first, it's Sally and Matt.
11:15And the game you're playing tonight is called Thirdle.
11:21Here's how it works.
11:22You're going to see three words, each with the third letter missing.
11:24And you've got to fill in those missing letters using the tiles provided to spell a new word vertically.
11:30You're against the clock.
11:31You score three points if you solve the puzzle.
11:33You've got one full alphabet to play with.
11:36Have a guess here.
11:37Crime.
11:38That's it.
11:39OK.
11:40Yes, very good.
11:41Liked.
11:42Liked.
11:44Ski.
11:44Oh, ski.
11:45OK, crime and ski.
11:46So, there we go.
11:47Well done if you got that example.
11:48It's all downhill from here.
11:50That's a ski-related joke.
11:52Sally and Matt, head over to the letterbox to play Thirdle.
11:58Sally and Matt, hit that button when you've completed it.
12:00Here is your first Thirdle.
12:02Your time starts now.
12:04OK, April.
12:05April, yeah.
12:06OK, first word.
12:07Swirl.
12:08Swirl.
12:10And what's that?
12:11Order.
12:12Order.
12:12Rid.
12:13Rid.
12:13The word.
12:14Is that a guess?
12:14Yes, get rid.
12:16Yeah.
12:16Yes.
12:17April, swirl, order.
12:19Well done.
12:19Straight there.
12:20Fantastic.
12:21No mucking around.
12:22No, I'm mucking about with this one.
12:23Your second puzzle will have four words with the third letter missing.
12:26You'll need to spell a new four-letter word vertically,
12:29but it's worth four points.
12:30So, if you're ready, your time starts now.
12:35Poker.
12:36Could be poker.
12:37Could be poker.
12:37Let's try.
12:38Could be start.
12:39Could be start.
12:44Kavat.
12:45Kavat.
12:45No, it can't be.
12:46Kavat.
12:46Carrot.
12:47Carrot.
12:47Krav.
12:48No.
12:48Carrot.
12:49No.
12:50Oh, I think carrot.
12:50Yeah, yeah.
12:52Pats.
12:52Yeah, pats is a word.
12:54Pats.
12:54No, it's not a word, is it?
12:56Yeah.
12:57That's not a word.
12:57Pats is not a word?
12:58Is it?
12:59I don't know.
13:00You want to go with it?
13:00No.
13:02Pats.
13:02I'm going on.
13:03Poker.
13:04Is there any other word?
13:05Poser.
13:05Poser, yeah.
13:06Could be poser.
13:08Start.
13:09Sart.
13:10Time running out.
13:11It's not right, is it?
13:13Power.
13:14Power.
13:14Wart.
13:15Wart.
13:15I'm trying to pats.
13:16What have you done, then?
13:17No, it's not.
13:18No, look, we want pants there.
13:20Oh, pants.
13:21And then we're worn.
13:23So we nearly got it.
13:24You see how that happens?
13:26It's so frustrating.
13:27Your final puzzle has five words to solve,
13:29and you'll need to spell a new five-letter word vertically.
13:31It is worth a bumper five points.
13:33Your time starts now.
13:36OK.
13:37Antic.
13:38Antic, yes.
13:40Flaps or flops.
13:41All right.
13:44And...
13:44What's that?
13:45Um, get...
13:47Can only get...
13:48Can only be...
13:49I'll think of something else.
13:50Flock.
13:51Flock.
13:51Lolly.
13:52Lolly.
13:54So...
13:55What's that?
13:56That could be flack or flick.
13:58Flick.
13:59OK.
14:00Er...
14:01No.
14:04Um...
14:05What is that, though?
14:05That's the thing.
14:06Tart, um...
14:07Gaik.
14:09Um...
14:09Gaik.
14:10Let's put all these words in.
14:11Just keep putting them in.
14:11Yeah, OK.
14:13Gamkino.
14:13No.
14:17Gaskier works.
14:20Gaskier.
14:21Gankie.
14:22Gaskier.
14:23The only thing I can think, maybe that's a W for Gorky.
14:26Oh, Gorky.
14:29Flops.
14:30And I think maybe...
14:31Oh, Carol says flops.
14:32Let's try an O there.
14:33Let's see if the O works in there.
14:35Oh, I see.
14:35And then we're on fleck.
14:37Oh, fleck.
14:40She's good.
14:40Oh, D is very good.
14:42On their games.
14:42That went horribly wrong, didn't it?
14:44Oh, dear.
14:44Good effort.
14:45Sally and Mads, you scored three.
14:47But we've reached the end of part one.
14:48My hope is we're all a little kinder and wiser for having experienced it.
14:52There are no guarantees in this world, but celebrity puzzling will likely return after this short break.
15:00If you want to keep puzzling, see if you can complete the vertical word to solve this third order.
15:07Best of luck.
15:14Have you completed the missing word and solved this third order?
15:18If you did.
15:19Well done.
15:23Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling.
15:25During the break, we discussed going to a karaoke bar straight after this, but all agreed it would be a
15:29terrible idea.
15:30We're still looking for answers and we'll stop at nothing to find them.
15:34So it's now Carol and Ugo's turn at the letterbox to play third.
15:39And remember, you're going to see three words each with the third letter missing.
15:43You need to fill in those missing letters to spell a new word vertically.
15:46As you know, you'll score three points.
15:48If you solve the puzzle, you'll have the alphabet to play with.
15:51Here's your first one.
15:52Your time starts now.
15:56Lofty.
15:57Bloat.
15:59Dozen.
16:00Oh, no.
16:02Dozen.
16:03Dozen.
16:04Dozen.
16:05Doyen.
16:06Foy.
16:07Doyen.
16:08Dozen.
16:09Dozen.
16:11Lofty.
16:12What else could that be?
16:15Bleat.
16:15Bleat.
16:16Fez, it is.
16:18Fez.
16:19OK, here we go.
16:21Everybody hit the button.
16:21Are we locked in?
16:22Oh, there we are.
16:23Yeah.
16:24Well done.
16:25Oh, my gosh.
16:26You've got bleat and it led you to fez.
16:28Your second puzzle will have four words with the third letter missing and you'll need to spell
16:32a new four-letter word vertically, but it's worth four points.
16:35And your time starts now.
16:37OK.
16:39Anvil.
16:40Anvil.
16:41Shiny.
16:44Bully.
16:47Maybe, maybe not.
16:49Reek.
16:50Bully, yeah.
16:51Vile.
16:52Oh, you've nailed it.
16:53Oh, she's fast.
16:56Barry.
16:56Yeah, so Anvil.
16:58Shiny.
16:58Bully.
16:59Reek.
17:00Can't see anything wrong with that.
17:01Nice.
17:01To be honest.
17:02They've all lit up green.
17:03Yeah.
17:04For me, I'd love to say, well, Reek feels wrong, but it doesn't.
17:09It's all right.
17:10You've done really well.
17:10So, you've got another puzzle.
17:11Yeah.
17:12Now, this is five words now.
17:13It's worth a bump of five points.
17:15Let's go.
17:15Your time starts now.
17:19Is that Dottie?
17:20Yes.
17:22Adobe.
17:24Slack.
17:26Yeah.
17:27Diver.
17:28Diaper.
17:30No, that's D-I.
17:31D-A-I.
17:32Oh, hang on.
17:33Right.
17:34Magic.
17:35Oh.
17:36Magic.
17:38Diner.
17:39OK.
17:40Nuh, nuh, nuh.
17:42Slick.
17:43So, that could be I.
17:46It could be slick or slack.
17:48What could that be?
17:50D, drink, drang.
17:53Time running out.
17:55Oh, what's that?
17:58Drur, drur, drur.
18:00No.
18:01Oh.
18:04No.
18:04Could you get me a W, Carol?
18:07Dowdy.
18:08Yeah, I think it's Dowdy.
18:09That's the thing of drinking.
18:10But I still don't know what that is.
18:12Forte.
18:13It was his forte.
18:14Rugby was his forte.
18:16OK.
18:16So, now we're into...
18:18Yes.
18:19Ring.
18:19OK.
18:20Ring defeated you, but you did a little bit better than your competitors.
18:23If we go back to our seats, we'll find out what the score is.
18:29How many points did you back up at home?
18:31Well done.
18:32Carol, Ugo, your visit to the letterbox scored you seven.
18:35Oh, my gosh.
18:35So, we'll see what that's done to the overall scores.
18:38Sally and Matt on nine now.
18:41Yeah.
18:41Carol and Ugo on 14.
18:43Oh, not bad.
18:45How many points ahead is that, Carol?
18:47Five.
18:47Brilliant.
18:48This next round...
18:49Brilliant.
18:50Good point, Ray.
18:51This next round takes a bit of decoding.
18:53It is called Cypher.
18:57I'm going to give you a category clue.
18:59So, it's concealed by a code of symbols.
19:02If you get it straight away, you'll bag three points.
19:04If you have to ask for letters to be revealed each time I reveal one, the points go down
19:11by one.
19:11So, two, then one point.
19:13So, this is a Harrison Ford film.
19:16Blade Runner?
19:17Well done.
19:18Are you serious?
19:20Yeah, because of the double N.
19:22If we were playing this and you said, we don't know, we would then say, let's give you a letter.
19:27And at that point, it's worth two points.
19:29Blade Runner.
19:30Yeah.
19:31And then we could give even another letter.
19:34And we say, then that's B.
19:36There we go.
19:36And obviously, Matt is right.
19:37Let's see.
19:38Blade Runner.
19:39Great.
19:39This one really sorts the Harrison Fords from the Harrison Frauds.
19:44What does Cypher mean?
19:46Harrison Ford.
19:47That's good.
19:48That's good.
19:49That's good.
19:50Carol and Ugo, if you're ready to play.
19:51Oh, right.
19:52Here is your first Cypher.
19:54And we're talking.
19:54Oh, gosh.
19:55She was.
19:56The category Oasis.
19:58Is that an Oasis, as in the band?
20:01That's more your era than mine.
20:02Yeah.
20:05If that's Liam, that could be Gallagher.
20:09OK, so, double L, double L, and it ends in L.
20:14But it ends in L, the black triangle.
20:16So, it's Noel.
20:18Noel.
20:19We're going to go Noel Gallagher.
20:20Noel Gallagher.
20:21Let's see if you're right there.
20:23Yeah!
20:25Back of an air.
20:26Three points!
20:27Three points, because you didn't need any of the symbols revealed.
20:31Here's the first one for Sally and Matt.
20:33Let's do it.
20:34Let's do it.
20:35So, Sally and Matt, two words.
20:36Category.
20:37Sherlock Holmes.
20:40Hmm.
20:42Oh, gosh.
20:43I think I'm going to do six letters.
20:45Duplicates.
20:45Oh, no duplicates there.
20:48Sherlock Holmes, let me think.
20:50What would it be?
20:50Well, the first word...
20:52I know.
20:52Go on.
20:53It's your dress.
20:54What is it?
20:542 Baker Street.
20:56Oh, no, it can't be.
20:57It's 221B.
20:59I know.
20:59Is it Dr Johnson?
21:01Oh, yes.
21:02Dr Watson.
21:03W-A-T-S-O-N.
21:05Dr Watson.
21:06You're right.
21:06Let's have a look and see if it's Dr Watson.
21:08The good doctor.
21:09Yes, it is.
21:10Very good.
21:12Well done, Dr Watson.
21:15The next ones might be a little tougher to crack.
21:18Carol, I do go.
21:18Here's yours.
21:20One words.
21:23Political residence.
21:25Now, this is Chequers.
21:28So, C-H-E is the...
21:31The volleyball.
21:32The stripy one.
21:33Yeah.
21:34Q-U-E-R-S.
21:37We're going for Chequers?
21:39Absolutely.
21:40Chequers City.
21:41Is it Chequers?
21:42Yes.
21:43Well done.
21:45Over to Sally and Matt for your next cipher.
21:49Here we go.
21:49We've got a 6-10-4.
21:50And the clue is football ground.
21:54So, we've got a double letter at the front there.
21:57So, it's something...
22:00Let's have a think.
22:01So, the ones I know.
22:02Yeah.
22:03Old Trafford.
22:03It's not that.
22:04Not that.
22:05Emirates.
22:05Emirates, yeah.
22:07Something road, innit?
22:08Oh, hang on.
22:09Something road.
22:09What's road?
22:10So, that's it.
22:11Oh, A.
22:12A.
22:12Oh, and it ends in a D as well.
22:15Yeah.
22:15So, D.
22:16So, A.
22:17Elland Road.
22:18Yeah.
22:18Elland Road.
22:20Oh, is it right?
22:23Yes.
22:24Oh, my God.
22:26That is incredible.
22:26Who plays at Elland Road?
22:28No idea.
22:29Footballers.
22:29Leeds.
22:31Leeds.
22:31Leeds.
22:32Leeds.
22:33I don't know if we've seen this before.
22:34Maximum score so far.
22:36Normally, people are saying, can we have a letter?
22:37Really?
22:38Yeah.
22:39Is this a world record?
22:40If you get the next ones without calling for letters, it will be.
22:43I love that's a world record.
22:45Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
22:46The level might get a bit harder.
22:48So, here's Carol and you goes.
22:52Off we go.
22:53Right.
22:54Three words.
22:55The category is fancy crisp flavour.
22:58Oh, fancy crisp flavour.
23:00OK, sweet chilli.
23:02Fancy...
23:03Thai, what else can you have?
23:05Thai, sweet chilli.
23:07I at the end is the guitar.
23:09And we've got the I-I's.
23:10Yeah.
23:11C-H-I.
23:12Double I.
23:12I-I.
23:13And the L-L tambourine.
23:15Let's not be hasty, because we're all for a world record.
23:19But I think you're right.
23:20But tea for Thai.
23:21Yes.
23:21Sweet tea at the end.
23:22We're going with that?
23:23Absolutely.
23:24Thai.
23:25You see, I'm obviously...
23:26I prefer a fancy crisp to Ugo.
23:29He prefers...
23:30What do you prefer?
23:31Popcorn.
23:31Oh, what's it?
23:32No, what's it?
23:33On basic.
23:33It's difficult to not be a what's it guy.
23:36It's good, isn't it?
23:36Yeah, if you like us, you live quite a physical existence.
23:39Thai, sweet, chilli.
23:41What?
23:41Go on.
23:42Thai, sweet, chilli.
23:43Thai, sweet, chilli.
23:44Let's see if that's right.
23:46Oh, my God.
23:47You've done this.
23:48Wow.
23:49How have you done this?
23:50That's miraculous.
23:51That is the puzzling equivalent of a nine-darter,
23:55what you've just done in darts.
23:57Let's see if you can follow.
23:58Very tense here.
23:59They can get this without asking for any letters.
24:02So the final in our cipher round, Sally and Matt, here's yours.
24:07Two words.
24:08Seven letters each.
24:10Sports person.
24:12It's quite a broad topic.
24:13It could be anyone.
24:14Couldn't it?
24:16So, okay, let's work out.
24:17So there's a double, there's something.
24:19Something there.
24:19Yeah.
24:20There is something there.
24:22And it looks like it ends on a vowel.
24:24Yeah.
24:25We can do this.
24:26Let's just stare at it a bit longer.
24:28Stare at it a bit longer, yeah.
24:30One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
24:32How many names can you think of?
24:34So those two letters are the same.
24:35Which two?
24:36So those two.
24:37In the middle.
24:38So the two yellow ones.
24:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:40And those two are the same.
24:41So that's our clues.
24:42Yeah.
24:42So, and also this question mark here.
24:46That's got to be a vowel.
24:47Is it?
24:47Well, it doesn't have to be.
24:48Oh, yeah, because it's the next one.
24:49Because it's going into a double something.
24:51Will you need a letter here, which will break the spell?
24:55Thierry Onry, no.
24:57No.
24:58Yeah, go on.
24:59OK.
25:01Oh.
25:02All right.
25:02Goes down to two points now if you get it.
25:04The letter I can give you is that one.
25:05The apostrophes.
25:07The inverted commas are Ts.
25:12OK.
25:12So it's...
25:14Double T.
25:17I'll give you another one if you want.
25:18Yeah, go on.
25:19OK.
25:19It goes down to one point if you get it now.
25:21Let's see.
25:21So the exclamation mark is an F.
25:23So it starts with an F.
25:25That's useful.
25:26OK.
25:27So Freddie Flintoff, no.
25:33OK, let's do names beginning with F.
25:35We can do this.
25:37Fred...
25:37Freddie...
25:38F-R-E-D-D-I-E could be...
25:42F-R-E-D-D-I.
25:45So it could...
25:45Frankie Dettori.
25:46Well done, mate.
25:47Well, if it's right, let's see.
25:49Frankie Dettori.
25:51Well done.
25:52Well done.
25:52Well done.
25:54Frankie Dettori.
25:55Yes.
25:56Just brilliant play on both sides.
25:58At the end of that round,
25:58let's look at the scores.
26:00Sally and Matt have got 16.
26:02Carol and Hugo are up to 23.
26:06Well done.
26:08That was amazing.
26:09That just about wraps things up for part two.
26:11We've had some laughs,
26:12although quite how many laughs
26:13will be decided weeks from now
26:15during the long and laborious edit.
26:18See you for more...
26:19It's an insidery joke.
26:21See you for more celebrity puzzling after this.
26:27Have a go at this up or down puzzle.
26:29Move one letter, one place up or down in the alphabet
26:32to solve the clue and reveal the answer.
26:35Choose wisely.
26:43Here's the solution to your up or down puzzle.
26:47If you got it right, well done.
26:51Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling,
26:53TV's most infuriating watch.
26:55Not my words, the words of our viewers.
26:57That's because we're pitting Carol, Sally,
27:00Hugo and Matt against some excruciatingly tricky puzzles.
27:03That last round.
27:05Oh, mate.
27:05You're playing Olympians there.
27:07It's ridiculous.
27:08And stuffed like Thai sweet chilli.
27:10I'm slightly annoyed with that
27:11because that's my kid's favourite crisp.
27:13Is it?
27:14Yeah, I went, is that Thai?
27:15And then you said it, I was like,
27:17oh, that is genius.
27:19Do your kids believe, because mine don't,
27:21that one day, once upon a time,
27:22there were plain crisps with no flavour?
27:24Once upon a time, back in the day.
27:26And if I get like a salt and vinegar one
27:27and they go, oh...
27:29Yeah.
27:29Yeah, it's rubbish.
27:30This was luxury in the 70s.
27:32Luxury getting salt and vinegar.
27:33Yeah.
27:34Anyway.
27:34In this next round,
27:35Hugo and Matt will play head-to-head on the buzzer,
27:38away from the comforting intelligence
27:40of their team captains beside them.
27:42So think of them as fledgling birds leaving the nest.
27:44Who will soar?
27:46Who will immediately get picked off by a passing kestrel?
27:49The game they're going to be playing is join the dots.
27:55On the screen, you'll be shown a puzzle
27:57consisting of a category and a series of dots.
28:00Oh, gosh.
28:00So there's a ballroom dance.
28:02OK, and on my cue, lines, let's do this.
28:04Lines will start to form to join the dots.
28:07And you've got to buzz and shout this out, right?
28:10Oh, no, no, no.
28:11Oh, yeah, but if you want, go on.
28:13Oh, Viennese waltz.
28:13But I've got that wrong.
28:14That's all right.
28:15I think you might be right.
28:16Let's have a look.
28:17You're right.
28:17Viennese waltz.
28:18That's how you do it.
28:19Sorry.
28:19Fun of doubt.
28:20She's fine.
28:21Fun of doubt.
28:21That's fine.
28:22If you get the correct answer,
28:23you get two points.
28:24If you get it wrong
28:25and the other player comes in
28:27after the animation freezes,
28:29they score one.
28:30So be quick, but be right.
28:32OK, you've seen how this works.
28:33There are five puzzles to solve.
28:35Fingers on buzzers.
28:36You go, Matt.
28:36Here's your first one.
28:39Breakfast food.
28:41Looks like two words to me.
28:44Lines...
28:45Oh, go on.
28:45You go.
28:46Hash browns.
28:47Oh, this guy's good.
28:50Maybe.
28:51Is it the hash browns?
28:52It has to be.
28:53Yes.
28:55This guy can see the Matrix.
28:57Yeah.
28:58Oh, gosh.
28:59The next one for you both.
29:01Just our guests playing here,
29:02of course,
29:03parking is the category.
29:15Matt.
29:16Traffic warden.
29:18Traffic warden,
29:19is he right?
29:21Yes.
29:22Traffic warden,
29:22the lines came in.
29:24Next question, please.
29:26Here we go.
29:27Soap.
29:28One word.
29:30Here come the lines.
29:37You go.
29:38Yes.
29:38Crossroads.
29:42Crossroads is the answer.
29:47I was looking for imperial leather.
29:50To me,
29:51I was exactly as you said.
29:52Yeah.
29:52So I'm totally with you on that.
29:53Okay.
29:54Action stations,
29:55time for another.
29:56Just the guests playing here,
29:57of course.
29:58Category.
29:59The Rock.
30:08The Rock.
30:09One word.
30:15How are you going to read it out?
30:19Gibraltar.
30:20Gibraltar.
30:21I was just thinking of Dwayne Johnson.
30:23Same.
30:24Same.
30:25I know.
30:26And that's the cleverness of that thing,
30:27because I had the same thing.
30:28Next one is the last one in this round.
30:31American singer.
30:32Oh, gosh.
30:33It could be anyone.
30:33Two words.
30:45Matt.
30:46Benson Boone.
30:47Benson Boone, he says.
30:49Is that right?
30:51Yeah.
30:52Well done.
30:53That's very good.
30:54Benson Boone.
30:55Well done, you go and Matt.
30:57Matt, you scored four.
30:58You go six.
30:59Okay.
30:59Let's look at the totals for each team.
31:02Sally and Matt have got 20.
31:04Carol and Hugo have got 29.
31:06I would describe that as close.
31:08In this game, you can catch up even just in the final round.
31:11It's time for our next puzzle,
31:13to paraphrase the great Eric Morecambe.
31:15We've got all the right letters,
31:16just not necessarily in the right order.
31:18This is form and orderly cue.
31:23So, we'll see how it works.
31:24A question will appear,
31:25but somehow our supercomputer has reordered each word
31:28alphabetically rather than how they should be written.
31:31There's an example for you.
31:33Dan Brown.
31:34Let's see if it's Dan Brown.
31:36Yes.
31:37Well done, Matt.
31:37Did you get the hang of that?
31:38Who wrote the novel?
31:40The Da Vinci Code.
31:40That's it.
31:41Yeah.
31:41The words aren't backwards.
31:42The letters are in alphabetical order.
31:44That's the real kicker.
31:45Ooh.
31:46Okay.
31:46You've got to decipher the question
31:48and then buzz in when you know the answer
31:50to bag the points.
31:51So, can you form an orderly cue?
31:53Time to find out.
31:54Fingers on buzzers, please, everyone.
31:56Puzzle one.
31:56Here we come.
31:59Buzz when you know.
32:00BELL RINGS
32:02Carol.
32:03I think it's lemon.
32:06Wow.
32:07Lemon.
32:08Oh, no.
32:10Lemon.
32:10Is lemon the answer?
32:11Okay.
32:12Time to steal.
32:13You two.

32:15Scurvy is something.
32:17Need an answer, please, quickly.
32:19Black of which?
32:21Oh, it's...
32:22Vitamin.
32:22Vitamin C.
32:24Vitamin C is your answer.
32:25Let's see if that's right.
32:27Okay.
32:28Scorbic acid.
32:29Yes, well done.
32:30Sorry.
32:30Let's see what the question was.
32:33Scurvy is caused by a lack of which vitamin?
32:35Get ready on the buzzers.
32:37Here we go with our second.
32:38Coming now.
32:47Carol.
32:48Potato.
32:49Let's see if it's right.
32:51Oh.
32:52Excellent.
32:53Oh.
32:54I was thinking royalty.
32:55King Edward who?
32:57So, let's reorder the question, where are the capital letters?
33:00It really helps.
33:00King Edward is a variety of which vegetable?
33:04There we go.
33:04Well done.
33:05Carol's on fire here.
33:06She is.
33:06Oh, my goodness.
33:07Woof.
33:08Right.
33:08Next question.
33:18Matt.
33:21Is it the letter O?
33:24Is it O?
33:27That's really good.
33:28You're so good.
33:29Let's have a look at the question.
33:31In Morse code, dash, dash, dash represents which letter?
33:34Wow.
33:34And you know that because S-O-S.
33:37Dash, dash, dash, dot, dot, dot, dot, yeah.
33:38The questions might get even more difficult.
33:40Oh, excellent.
33:41Fingers back on buzzers.
33:42Here we go.
33:45There it is.
33:46You go.
33:47Tennis.
33:49Tennis, is that right?
33:51Ooh.
33:54Coco Gauff is famous.
33:55Coco Gauff.
33:56Let's have a look.
33:57That's a very, very smart move there.
33:59Coco Gauff is a famous name in which sport?
34:02Well done.
34:03You go.
34:03Tennis.
34:03It's all right.
34:05It's feeling like around this one.
34:07Here's another question.
34:11Buzz, when you know.
34:24Not long.
34:25Say it.
34:30Buzz, if you want to get it.
34:31Yes.
34:32Time going.
34:33Yes.
34:36Sorry.
34:37So the something bridge spans which body of water?
34:42The Grand Canal.
34:43Grand Canal.
34:43Yeah, yeah, yeah.
34:44Well, come on.
34:45What's the name of the bridge?
34:46So let's reorder the question.
34:48The Rialto Bridge.
34:49The Rialto Bridge, yeah.
34:50That's quite hard.
34:51The Rialto Bridge.
34:51Yeah.
34:52Final one.
34:53Yeah, it really heats up the brain, this.
34:56Matt.
34:57Harry Styles.
34:58Harry Styles.
35:02Yes.
35:04Let's see the question.
35:05Who released the album Harry's House, Harry Styles?
35:09Well done, Matt.
35:10Excellent.
35:10Good.
35:11From the Radio 1 guy at the end of that round.
35:14It's tense.
35:15Let's see the scores here.
35:17Sally and Matt, 25 points.
35:21Carol and Yugo have got 33 points.
35:24Ah, both.
35:25So you've moved the point closer.
35:27One point.
35:27Yeah.
35:27And that means you will win the game if we play until November.
35:32Hopefully you managed to reorder those questions at home.
35:35Well done if you had any success there.
35:36It's time for our penultimate round.
35:38In this one, both teams will head back over to the letterbox.
35:41This time I'm dangling an extra carrot for them.
35:43As the fastest team to solve their puzzle will receive two bonus points.
35:47Points that could be crucial come the end of the show.
35:49So it's all to play for in the game we call Fernandrum.
35:57Let's see how it works.
35:58You will see three anagrams, each a letter longer than the one before.
36:01You must rearrange the tiles to solve the five-letter anagram
36:05before moving on to the six-letter anagram and so on.
36:08So, have a look.
36:08Anyone bottom word first?
36:11Slosh.
36:12Slosh, as in sloshed.
36:13I believe some of us may have been.
36:15We've been sloshed in the past, possibly.
36:17Excellent.
36:17Middle one.
36:18Brutal.
36:19Brutal, Matt.
36:20Well done.
36:21And what about the top one?
36:24Anybody?
36:24Shall I show it?
36:25Please.
36:26Yeah.
36:26Just an example.
36:27Granary.
36:28Ah.
36:29Granary.
36:30As ever, you'll be against the clock here,
36:31so as soon as you've solved the third anagram,
36:33you must hit the button to stop that clock.
36:36You'll score two points per solved word.
36:38However, if you complete all three anagrams faster than your opponents,
36:41you'll receive two bonus points.
36:43Carol and Hugo, you are leading.
36:45Please head over to the letterbox to face your Fernandrum.
36:50As soon as you solve the third Fernandrum,
36:52hit the button to stop the clock.
36:54Your time starts now.
36:56Oh, my God.
36:57Pence.
36:59Excellent.
37:01Rabbit.
37:01Oh, very good.
37:07Rabbit.
37:08Rabbit is correct.
37:11Makeup.
37:13Oh, I love you for that.
37:18Are you serious?
37:20Yes, we are.
37:21So serious.
37:21That is incredible,
37:23because I was looking at the top one
37:25and I was definitely going with something maker.
37:28I was going with market.
37:30You did that really well, Hugo.
37:31That was brilliant.
37:31That was so good.
37:32Well, I got pence.
37:34And Ruben's got pence.
37:35Yes, you got pence,
37:36and you've scored more than a few pence with that.
37:39Brilliant.
37:39So six points.
37:40We'll see if it's good enough for those.
37:42Bonus points after Sally and Matt have played.
37:45Before...
37:45Let's just check the facial expressions out.
37:48Hashtag awkward.
37:49Before Sally and Matt face their fenundrum,
37:51we're going to take a short break,
37:52both for some adverts,
37:53and to give everyone a few minutes
37:55to berate themselves over how it's gone so far.
37:57See you after this for more celebrity puzzling.
38:03Here's a fenundrum for you to unscramble during the break.
38:07Get puzzling.
38:15Have you figured out this fenundrum?
38:18If you sold it, well done.
38:24Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling.
38:25We'll soon find out who has won and who has come.
38:28Well, second.
38:29Sally and Matt, your turn to face the fenundrum.
38:31Three new anagrams to solve.
38:33Remember, you must solve them in order, my friends.
38:36You've got to beat the time set by Carol,
38:37and you go, which can be done.
38:39It's going to be hard, but it can be done.
38:41Remember, once you solve all three anagrams,
38:43hit the button over there.
38:44Good luck.
38:45Your time starts now.
38:48OK.

39:02Oh, nice job.
39:04Frisky.
39:06What's that?
39:07You look at that.

39:21Bad, boys!
39:22Bad, not bad!
39:23Very good.
39:24I wonder if you might have beaten the other two with your time, you know?
39:28Yeah, I've been really close, that.
39:29All right, we're going to have a look at the times.
39:31Head back to your seats.
39:32I'll tell you what happened.
39:36Sally and Matt, you did it in 30.
39:40Carol and Hugo, 20.
39:42That's amazing.
39:44Honestly, that was truly.
39:45And we could all praise them with an open heart, can't we, Sally?
39:53Okay.

39:57Sally and Matt, 31.
39:59Carol and Hugo, 41.
40:01Oh!
40:02But it still comes down to our final round, answer bank.
40:10Okay, Sally, Matt, you've got a bit of catching up to do, but you can do it, as you well
40:14know.
40:14In a moment, I'll show you a grid of 12 words.
40:16I'll then ask questions against the clock.
40:19Buzz in and give me the correct answer, which could be lateral, like a sort of crossword clue.
40:24If the answer has more than one word, you must give all the corresponding words in the correct order.
40:28You will score a point per word, so it could add up to winning or losing the whole show just
40:33on this.
