TVTranscript
00:00Hello, I'm Jeremy Vine, and tonight I'll guide four household names as they tackle a series of tricky, logical puzzles,
00:07often against the clock.
00:08The whole thing is really like one big recurring stress dream.
00:12Thankfully, I'm hosting and not playing. Welcome to Celebrity Puzzling.
00:31Hello, welcome to Celebrity Puzzling. It is my pleasure to introduce you first to our two team captains.
00:37They're here to keep me and our guests in check, and if they can get a few questions right, well,
00:41they're at it even better.
00:42First up, she's the CV with the best CV on the TV. It's Carol Vorderman.
00:48Oh, I see what you did. See what I did.
00:50And here to tassel with her once more, a star of stage and screen from Stockport, please welcome our kid,
00:57Sally Lindsay.
00:58Hey.
01:00Who will be joining their teams tonight? Well, alongside Carol, it's a royal correspondent, so trusted she's probably used every
01:07bathroom in Buckingham Palace.
01:08It's Jenny Bond.
01:12Sally's other half this evening is a comedian who was written off as lazy at school, and hopefully that's not
01:17the case, because if it is, she's off to detention.
01:19This is Shappi Korsandi. Welcome.
01:23Shappi, the school thing. Just tell me about that.
01:25Just had ADHD, and I would just wander off.
01:28And even now, like, if I'm playing Trivial Pursuits with the family, I'll forget, and I'll go off and hoover.
01:35But didn't you also, at some point, it all came good, and you got a doctorate from, was it Winchester?
01:40I got an honorary doctorate from Winchester, so I have to make that very clear.
01:44I read something funny about your mum's reaction, because she misunderstood your doctorate.
01:48Oh, yeah, she asked me if I could write her a prescription.
01:52I won't say what for, but I was horrified.
01:56Oh, now listen, Jenny, you and I, we go back a long way.
01:59Oh, my goodness.
02:00We do, we do.
02:00Such a revered news figure.
02:02And the funny thing about you is, you made your name really, well, newsreading, but also on the royals in
02:08the BBC.
02:09You then retired, as if you're ever going to retire, and now you're doing it more than ever.
02:15You're royal and wall to wall.
02:16I absolutely didn't retire.
02:18I just decided to move to the depths of Devon.
02:20As a family, we decided on that.
02:22And it didn't work, you know, it was brilliant being in Devon and the one o'clock news ringing me
02:26in London saying, you know, there's a big story.
02:28I said, oh, well, I'll be in in about five hours, you know.
02:31It wasn't going to work, was it?
02:32So I left the Beeb.
02:34And I still get a kick out of, you would understand, that sort of journalistic excitement when there's a story
02:39breaking.
02:40And I don't just work for one outlet now.
02:42Everybody rings me.
02:43And it's madness, absolutely mad.
02:45My heart is pounding, and I'm swearing.
02:48And then afterwards, I think, yeah.
02:49Do you get into it?
02:50I'm very excited because I heard you swear in make-up, and it was such a thrill.
02:56I heard Jenny Bond swear.
02:59It's so funny.
03:00It was the best.
03:03What happens in make-up stays in make-up, OK?
03:06That's very important for this show.
03:08In each episode, our two fearless teams face six randomly selected puzzles, all plucked from our extensive back catalogue.
03:15Like most quiz shows, you'll be looking to win points.
03:17We're not reinventing the wheel here.
03:19That's important because you'll want a big lead going into our final round, which is Answer Bank.
03:24And while there's no prize of any cash value on offer, you'll see on the screen now what you leave
03:28with if you win.
03:32This is the puzzling cube.
03:34And look, I've already twisted it into an interesting image of myself surrounded by letters.
03:39And you can do that for hours.
03:41All right, time for round one.
03:42Let's get puzzling.
03:43This is our first puzzle.
03:44And luckily, this is one almost everyone in Britain is already brilliant at.
03:48So we will play, form an orderly cue.
03:53Let us see how this works.
03:55So, a question will appear on the screen.
03:57But somehow our computer has reordered the words with the letters in alphabetical order instead of the correct order.
04:05So there's the example of the question.
04:06Do you want to have a go at that?
04:07Yeah.
04:08Who wrote Oliver Twist?
04:10Gosh, I thought it said who wrote Orville Stew.
04:13I did!
04:14I got Orville Stew.
04:16Yep.
04:17Tallville and Dean.
04:17Charles Dickens.
04:18Let's see.
04:19So you say Charles Dickens.
04:19This is just the example.
04:21And let's see the right answer.
04:22And we'll unscramble the sentence for you.
04:24And you're absolutely right.
04:25And if you didn't get that one, then there may not be great expectations.
04:28Oh!
04:30So the question is, can you form an orderly cue?
04:32Time to find out.
04:33Fingers on buzzers, please, everyone.
04:35Buzz around.
04:36To win the points, you do just need the correct answer.
04:39Here we go with the first.
04:44Oh!
04:46Carol.
04:49366.
04:50Let's reveal whether Carol's right with 366.
04:54Very good.
04:55And that looks like how amniadzi airy it in an alp airy.
05:00When we reorder it, we get how many days are there in a leap year.
05:04Well done, Miss Vorderman.
05:05All right, stay on the buzzers.
05:06Here we go with our second.
05:08The weird sentence is this.
05:15Shabby.
05:17Gavin and Stacey.
05:19And the answer is...
05:23I'm so sorry.
05:24It's just gone out of my head.
05:26OK.
05:27We pass it over to the other team.
05:29Rob Brydon.
05:30For one point, stealing it.
05:32Is it Rob Brydon?
05:34Yes.
05:36So let's see that.
05:37Let's unscramble how Adele P. Birney is who played Bryn.
05:41Rob Brydon is the answer.
05:42OK, here's the next one.
05:47Oh, God.
05:48Good Lord.
05:50Carol.
05:52Australia.
05:52Australia.
05:53OK.
05:54I think I know where we are here.
05:56Let's just see.
05:56Is it Australia?
05:58Yes.
05:59And was it called Ayers Rock?
06:00Is that the way we're struggling with it?
06:02Yeah.
06:02It was called Ayers Rock and it's now called Uluru.
06:05OK.
06:05In which country is the large rock known as Uluru?
06:08Well done.
06:08Fingers back on buzzers.
06:09Well done, Carol, on that one.
06:11Here we go with our next.
06:14Can you decipher this one?
06:21Carol.
06:23Aphrodite?
06:24Aphrodite.
06:24Let us see if that's the right answer.
06:28I won't say any more.
06:30You can steal for a point.
06:32Who was the ancient goddess?
06:34Oh, it's Venus.
06:36Venus, says Sally.
06:37Is that right?
06:39No.
06:39Very good.
06:40You're great.
06:41I did ask that for sure.
06:43Who was the ancient Roman goddess of love?
06:45Venus was the answer.
06:46Well done, Sally.
06:47All right, here's another.
06:48On your buzzers, please, for this.
06:51Oh, I don't know.
06:58Carol.
06:59And Sue.
07:03It's Mel and Sue.
07:04Sue.
07:06Pa.
07:08Yeah, you're out of time.
07:10You buzzed without knowing the answer.
07:12We pass it over.
07:13Sue Perkins.
07:14Sue Perkins is your answer.
07:17OK.
07:18So, Sue Perkins, we can unscramble it.
07:21Who is the comedy partner of Mel Gidroy?
07:24It's the great Perkins.
07:25I should have known that.
07:26OK, so the final puzzle now.
07:28Can I get this one this time?
07:30OK, well, Carol's been buzzed crazy this round.
07:33OK, here we go.
07:40Shepi?
07:42Avocado.
07:43What is the main ingredient for guacamole?
07:45She says avocado.
07:45Let's have a look.
07:50What is the main ingredient of guacamole?
07:52This is the greatest moment of my whole life.
07:55I was just determined.
07:57I thought, I can't end this round without getting it silly.
08:00You've gone straight in.
08:02Shepi, well done.
08:03You've got that right.
08:04And at the end of that round,
08:05Sally and Shepi have got four points.
08:08Carol and Jenny have got five points.
08:11So, they're in the lead.
08:13Not bad.
08:13Not bad.
08:14Good start.
08:15Well done if you had any success there.
08:18OK, we're going to play on.
08:19It is time to briskly send our teams up to the letterbox,
08:22like the delivery driver who's left his engine running.
08:24In this round, the teams will be able to cobble together
08:27some much-needed points without the opposition getting in their way.
08:29Up first, it's Sally and Shepi.
08:32Not that you have a say on the matter,
08:33but the game you'll be playing tonight is thirdle.
08:38So, we're going to give you three words.
08:40Let me just show you this.
08:42And each of them has the third letter missing,
08:44and you've got to fill in those missing letters
08:46using the tiles provided to spell a new word vertically.
08:50You're against the clock,
08:51and you'll have one full alphabet to play with.
08:54This is just an example.
08:55Anyone want to have a go at this one?
08:56Maybe a guest shout-out.
08:58What do you think? Jenny, what do you think?
09:00Gum. OK, bugle, cluck, mumps.
09:04Great, Jenny. OK, getting the example right is a good start.
09:07Now you've got to go to the letterbox itself.
09:09But we start with Sally and Shepi.
09:10Please head over to play thirdle.
09:16Sally and Shepi, just hit the button when you've completed it.
09:19Here is your first thirdle.
09:21Your time starts now.
09:24Go with the letters.
09:24Yodel.
09:25Yodel.
09:27Yodel.
09:27Yodel.
09:28But would that be...
09:30What's that?
09:31And then tryst.
09:32Why?
09:33Yeah, that's not...
09:33Oh, right, yes, well done.
09:35Tryst.
09:36Oh, brilliant.
09:39Tryst is such a great word, it's not used enough.
09:41I think...
09:42I love a tryst.
09:43Yes, I'm never sure what it means,
09:44and I just kind of love it.
09:45Dry is the main word you've got right there.
09:48I'll tell you what it means later.
09:50All right, so it might get harder.
09:52Your second puzzle will have four words
09:54with the third letter missing.
09:55You'll need to spell a new four-letter word vertically,
09:58but it's worth four points.
09:59If you're ready, your time starts now.
10:04Unit, is it?
10:05Unit.
10:06OK, unit.
10:08No.
10:09No.
10:09That's not right.
10:10Unit's got one in.
10:11Oh, yeah, it's not right.
10:12Yeah.
10:14OK, so is that below, do you think?
10:16Yeah, let's try below.
10:17And then floor, maybe?
10:21Yeah, floor and...
10:22What's this?
10:23Lolly?
10:24Where's Al?
10:25No, we used Al.
10:26Oh, OK.
10:27So, lo...
10:29What's this word?
10:33Er...
10:34Time is running short.
10:36You've got to be quick.
10:39Er...
10:40Oh.
10:43I'm fit!
10:44Oh, so...
10:46So...
10:46No, it's not...
10:47But is it...
10:48All right, so you're out of time, but if that's unfit and that's...
10:52In the low, it must be and that's floor.
10:54Lonely.
10:55Lonely!
10:56Ah, that would have been the word.
10:57We went long enough.
10:58OK.
10:59But we did get it in time, thank goodness.
11:01No, we did not.
11:04It went green, but that just means that's the right answer.
11:06It doesn't sadly mean I can give you points.
11:08No.
11:08OK, final puzzle has five words to solve, and you'll need to spell a new five-letter word
11:13vertically.
11:14It's worth a bumper five points.
11:16Let's go.
11:17Your time starts now.
11:20Rigid.
11:22Rigid.
11:22Rigid.
11:23Is that slang?
11:24Slang or slang?
11:25It can be anything.
11:26Let's try slang or slang.
11:29Stilt.
11:30Stilt.
11:30Let's do stilt.
11:34Gisette, no, Gisette, what's that?
11:37Gilet, gilet?
11:40Pinch?
11:41No.
11:41What is this word?
11:43This is an important word.
11:44It's Galen.
11:46Yeah, so, what is that?
11:49Galen.
11:50What is this word?
11:52What could it be anyway?
11:53Could be any...
11:54Time is tipping your way.
11:56Giblet, bub.
11:57B?
11:59No, it's not giblet.
12:01Listen, I don't know, because I was all in with gilet, I can tell you.
12:05We've got everything else wrong.
12:06So, we don't take out the A here.
12:08That's because you've got...
12:09It could have had sling, slang, slung.
12:11Yeah.
12:11It's actually slung.
12:12Ah.
12:12So, sadly.
12:14And then we go, your gilet is right.
12:16Where's the gilet going?
12:18Such a good word.
12:19It is a good word.
12:20Guilt.
12:20Guilt, yeah, that's it.
12:21Pitch.
12:22Pitch, football pitch.
12:23Yeah.
12:23Go on, stick it on.
12:24There we are.
12:25There we are.
12:26The satisfaction of...
12:27That's how I feel for not saying it right.
12:29There we are.
12:29No, I messed that right.
12:31You went very quick on rigid, if I can say so.
12:33We did.
12:33We did, yeah.
12:35OK.
12:36Sally and Shappie, well done.
12:37Good effort all round.
12:38It's difficult, but your trip to the letterbox has scored you three points.
12:42Carol and Jenny, how do we feel?
12:45No.
12:46OK.
12:46Oh, she's OK.
12:47OK.
12:48Hold that thought.
12:49It's time for a break, a moment to silence the clatter of grey matter.
12:52We'll be back after this brief intermission.
12:54We'll see you for more celebrity puzzling in just a few moments.
13:01If you want to keep puzzling, see if you can complete the vertical word to solve this thirdle.
13:07Best of luck.
13:14Puzzlers, did you manage to complete the thirdle?
13:19If you did, great puzzling.
13:24Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling.
13:26I hope you're suitably refreshed.
13:27And now down to brass tacks.
13:28Sally and Shappie have set the pace.
13:30It's time for Carol and her puzzle pal, Jenny, to match it.
13:33Remember, you're going to see three words each with the third letter missing.
13:37You need to fill in those missing letters to spell a new word vertically.
13:41You'll score three points if you solve this first puzzle.
13:44Carol and Jenny, here's your first one.
13:45Your time starts now.
13:48Right.
13:50Torni?
13:50Torni?
13:51Could be Torni.
13:52Norse.
13:52Norse, Norse, maybe.
13:54What's that?
13:56S-F-G.
13:57E-E.
13:59Suede?
13:59Suede, yes.
14:00Suede, suede, suede.
14:01So it's not Torni.
14:04It might not be R.
14:05No, that's true.
14:06I mustn't think that.
14:07Torni.
14:09What would that be?
14:10Nau.
14:11You, you, you.
14:12That's what Nau said.
14:13No.
14:13Er, what did we have there?
14:16Rue, yes.
14:18Oh, well done.
14:19No, no, no, no, no.
14:20Torni, what did I have there before?
14:21Well, you may not be Torni.
14:22What did I have there before?
14:23You didn't know anything there before.
14:24Did I not?
14:25Nearly out of time.
14:26Oh, oh, no.
14:28Ah.
14:29What did I have there before?
14:30Nau.
14:31Oh, you're going to be so cross with yourself.
14:33I can see it.
14:34So I'm thinking this is what we do.
14:37We're looking for a different vowel.
14:39Nau.
14:39Yeah, the hangman is noose.
14:41Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.
14:43That's all right.
14:43I should have got that.
14:44That's all right.
14:44But well done with suede.
14:46Well, thank you.
14:47Yes, well done.
14:47Woe is the word we were looking for as the conclusion of the whole thing.
14:51OK, don't worry.
14:51Your second puzzle will have four words with the third letter missing.
14:54The other team tripped up on this, so you've got a good chance to take an advantage now.
14:57You'll need to spell a new four-letter word vertically.
15:00It is worth four points.
15:01Yeah.
15:01So if you're ready, your time starts now.
15:04Let's have a look.
15:06Lucid.
15:07OK, lucid.
15:08Lurid.
15:09Soapy.
15:13Cabin.
15:16Cushion.
15:17Cason.
15:18Well, you look at that one.
15:19I'll look at the one.
15:20Cajun.
15:21Dryer.
15:21No.
15:22Well, I ended a Y then.
15:24Cabin.
15:25No.
15:26No.
15:27What would that be?
15:28Cammin.
15:29Cullen.
15:30Cuckin.
15:30Cabin.
15:31Cabin.
15:32Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:33Yeah, I said cabin.
15:34But then the bottom one.
15:37Dryer.
15:38So what's that then?
15:40Lurid.
15:42Lurid.
15:43Raby.
15:44Less than ten seconds.
15:45Oh, God's sakes.
15:47Oh!
15:47Oh, dear.
15:48I think...
15:49Give me a U, Kel.
15:50Soupy.
15:51Soupy.
15:51I think so.
15:53Oh, dear.
15:53We'll get the next one.
15:55Yes.
15:55Yes, Jenny.
15:56Your final puzzle has five words to solve,
15:58and you'll need to spell a new five-letter word.
16:01It's worth a bump of five points.
16:02So let's go.
16:03Your time starts now.
16:05Come on, Jen.
16:06Toxic.
16:07Oh, or toxic.
16:09Tonic.
16:09Tonic, it'll be.
16:11Tonic.
16:12Quite.
16:13Or quite.
16:13Or quite, yeah.
16:16Panto?
16:17I don't know the answer.
16:19Oh, no, we've got...
16:19Um, flyby.
16:21Flyby?
16:21No.
16:22Oh, you.
16:23Flooby?
16:24Is that a word?
16:25Flooby?
16:25I don't know.
16:26Flyby?
16:26A flyby?
16:27I don't know.
16:28Uh, it might be a Y.
16:30I've never heard of flyby.
16:31L-I...
16:33Lycan?
16:34Lycan.
16:39Flyby.
16:40Lycan.
16:40Got to be quick here.
16:41Time is running out.
16:42Panto.
16:43What's that, then?
16:45Oh!
16:46Now, let's think about this.
16:47You are...
16:48It's really interesting, this.
16:50I think those are all right.
16:51Can you give me a P?
16:53Jenny, give me a P.
16:54There we go.
16:55There we are.
16:55Stick the P in.
16:56See if we get a green...
16:58Pinky.
16:59A stupid word.
17:00That's right, but it is the right word.
17:02Okay, please head back to your seats.
17:09Carol, Jenny, your visit to the Letterboxd has scored you no points.
17:13Let's see what that's done to the overall scores.
17:16Carol and Jenny...
17:17We're still on five.
17:18...are on five.
17:18Don't worry.
17:19It's not an emergency yet.
17:21It's all right, Jeremy.
17:22Shappie, Shappie and Sally are on set.
17:25I mean, come on.
17:26It's really close.
17:29So, next up is a puzzle you can always count on for a bit of much-needed drama.
17:33It is time to play three, two, one.
17:37Now, teens, I know celebrities have notoriously short attention spans.
17:41Listen up, this is important.
17:43On the screen, you will see a grid of answers.
17:46Three of those answers will be connected,
17:48and also two of them will be connected, leaving an odd one out.
17:52It's worth knowing that when forming your connections,
17:54they can't go diagonally because that just would be pandemonium.
17:57So, can you see a trio and a pair?
18:00Tower Millennium Blackfriars.
18:03Shappie, you agree with that?
18:04Yes.
18:05OK.
18:05And it can only be Trumpton and Chigley because they have to be adjacent.
18:09Chigley...
18:09At children's TV shows.
18:11The three are bridges over the Thames.
18:13So, the odd one out is Hogwarts.
18:15OK.
18:16There we are.
18:16That's our example.
18:18Carol and Jenny, you're getting your sticky mitts on this one first.
18:21Here is your first three, two, one puzzle.
18:23Let's see it.
18:25Six words.
18:26Joker, Penguin, Grandfather, Toucan, Pelican, Puffin.
18:29We need a trio, a pair and the odd one out.
18:32Well, I was thinking Penguin, Pelican and Toucan.
18:36And then Joker and Penguin are in Batman.
18:39Oh, right, OK.
18:40Yeah?
18:40Go with that?
18:41Yeah.
18:41I don't know Batman at all.
18:43So, our three are all birds.
18:44Yes, along the bottom.
18:46Toucan, Pelican and Puffin.
18:48And then our twosome is?
18:50What you said, what did you say?
18:52Joker and Penguin are in Batman and Grandfather's odd one out.
18:56OK.
18:57Let's see if that's the right answer.
18:59Well done.
19:00Yes!
19:02So, three road crossings named after birds.
19:06Oh!
19:07Two Batman villains, quite right, and the odd one out, Grandfather.
19:11There we go.
19:11Sally, Shappie.
19:12Here we go with yours.
19:15Tiger, Shappie, Amazon, Dragon, Man, Dogs.
19:18Oh, OK.
19:21Trio, a pair and the odd one out.
19:24Oh, hang on.
19:25Are they islands?
19:26Shappie, Island, Man, Island, Dogs.
19:28So, they're Shappie, Man and Dogs.
19:30Oh, yeah, there.
19:31Right, OK, yeah.
19:32And then Tiger and Dragon are years, Chinese, years.
19:37Yes.
19:38And Amazon's the odd one out.
19:39Is that right?
19:40Yes.
19:40So, would we say Shappie, Man and Dogs, Isle of, Tiger and Dragon are Chinese, years.
19:45And then Amazon is the odd one out.
19:48OK, let's see if that's the right answer.
19:51So, yes, you're quite right.
19:53The Isle of Shappie, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Dogs, Tiger and Dragon, Animals are the Chinese
19:58Zodiac, and Amazon the odd one out.
20:01I am so happy you said Chinese Zodiac, because I was going to say they're both fictional creatures.
20:09Thank goodness I didn't.
20:10He got you off to her.
20:11Can you imagine that on TV?
20:12OK, well done both.
20:13Very good.
20:14Get ready, Carol and Jenny.
20:15Here's your three, two, one.
20:17Let's see.
20:19OK.
20:19So, trio, a pair, and the odd one out.
20:22Abraham, Ulysses, Mars, Rutherford, Lyndon, Bear.
20:26Lyndon...
20:27..uh...
20:28..Johnson.
20:28Yeah.
20:29Ulysses, somebody.
20:31Abraham and Lincoln.
20:31Yeah, that's what I would say.
20:34Yeah, three presidents, then, we think, which leaves Mars and Bear together.
20:37Shall we go with that?
20:38Yeah, that's good, yeah.
20:40OK, so we're going with three presidents, Abraham, Ulysses and Lyndon,
20:45and then Mars and the Bear, you can see in the night sky,
20:52and Rutherford is the odd one out, is a scientist.
20:55Let's have a look.
20:56Is that the right answer?
20:59Oh, I think you've got a president out of place there, I think.
21:03I think it's not Abraham, Rutherford, Lyndon.
21:04Is it Rutherford?
21:04So, let's reveal the right answer.
21:07Abraham, Rutherford, Lyndon are US presidential first names.
21:11Rutherford is the first name of Rutherford B. Hayes.
21:14And then Ulysses and Mars, characters from Roman mythology,
21:18and the odd one out is Bear.
21:19Ulysses could have been a first name of a president, which is a stinker,
21:22but she wouldn't have been able to get Mars next to her.
21:26Mars and Bear, you see in the night sky.
21:27Mars and Bear.
21:28They're up there, yeah.
21:29Mars and the Bear, you see in the night sky.
21:33Are both spatial, you're quite right.
21:34The Bear is a formation.
21:36It's a constellation.
21:36However, Mars is a planet, not a constellation.
21:38So what, you see them both in the night sky?
21:41It's like saying you see dust in the night sky, doesn't it?
21:44It's a good answer, but it's not the one we wanted.
21:47Oh, well.
21:48Nice try.
21:49Sally and Shappie, here's your next puzzle.
21:53Adia, farewell, help, sayonara, extra, bye.
21:57And we want three, two and one.
22:00OK.
22:01Adieu, farewell, sayonara.
22:04Yeah.
22:06But help and bye doesn't work, so what does extra farewell?
22:11Are you sure sayonara definitely means...
22:14No.
22:15Help and bye, they Beatles songs?
22:18No, bye isn't.
22:19Bye, bye, Blackbird.
22:21Blackbird? No, that's Blackbird.
22:24Adieu and sayonara and farewell.
22:25Running out of time here.
22:27OK.
22:29Need an answer.
22:30We're just going to have to guess, mate.
22:32Right, let's go for sayonara, adieu and farewell are the three.
22:37And then extra and bye are the two and help is complete yes.
22:42OK, you might have got this right.
22:44Let's just have a look at the right answer.
22:46What?
22:47Wow!
22:48Do you know what extra and bye connect those two?
22:51No.
22:52Yes, sir.
22:52Yes, sir.
22:52Yeah, Jenny knows.
22:53Cricket, cricket.
22:54They're both terms where you score without the bat.
22:56Oh.
22:56So, they're cricket terms.
22:58The others are goodbye in various languages and help is the odd one.
23:01Gosh, that foxed you.
23:03Because, of course, bye is such a clever one to put in.
23:05No idea.
23:06Yeah, because you think it's...
23:07But it's got to be connected, it's got to touch them and it doesn't touch them.
23:09Can I say for the record, I do not think there is a Beatles song called Bye Bye Blackbird.
23:14There is a song called Blackbird, you're fine with that, yeah, and there is Bye Bye Baby by the Bay
23:19City Rollers.
23:21Yeah.
23:22Carol and Jenny, here's yours.
23:24Three, two, one.
23:25Texas, Deacon Blue, tea, orange juice, lard, butter.
23:29What's Deacon Blue?
23:30Any idea what Deacon Blue is?
23:31It's a band.
23:32Is it?
23:33Yeah, and Texas is a band.
23:35So they could go together.
23:36That could be a two.
23:37Never heard of either of them.
23:40I don't know.
23:41What connection can you see between tea?
23:43Can you guys do it?
23:44I can't do it.
23:45Oh, can you?
23:45Oh, how annoying.
23:50Unless tea is also a band.
23:53Oh.
23:54Tea.
23:55And then it's lard and butter.
23:57That's a good shout.
23:58Do you think?
23:59Well, I can't do any better than that.
24:00I see no connection.
24:01Should we go with that?
24:02Well, yes.
24:03I've never heard of any of them.
24:04No.
24:04OK.
24:06This is a total guess now.
24:10The three.
24:11Texas, Deacon Blue and tea.
24:15OK.
24:15We're hoping tea is also a band.
24:17Lard and butter, obviously, are oily products, dairy products.
24:23Oh, we're less Deacon Blue.
24:23And orange juice is the hot one out.
24:25OK.
24:26Best we can do.
24:26All right.
24:27Let's see if that's the right answer.
24:31Oh, fuck.
24:31And I know...
24:32Suddenly...
24:32So here's the...
24:33Sally and I love the same music.
24:34So you can tell us.
24:35Deacon Blue, Texas, Orange Juice are bands.
24:37There we go.
24:38Orange juice.
24:39Edwin Collins is the singer.
24:41Interestingly, those three bands are all Scottish as well.
24:43Yeah.
24:43That's the connection there.
24:45Lard and butter, Animal Fats, and tea is the old one out.
24:49But a band called tea would be a great band.
24:53I thought Deacon Blue was a cheese.
24:54So it would be Deacon Blue, Lard and Butter, I think.
24:57They are a truly brilliant band.
24:58OK.
24:59Right.
24:59Final puzzle.
25:00This time, Sally and Shappie.
25:02Yours.
25:03Here we go.
25:04Let's see if you can steal a march.
25:06Bishops, Packers, Simpsons, Cardinals, Texans, Griffins.
25:10Three, then two, then one, please.
25:12Right, OK.
25:13So Simpsons and the Griffins are fictional animated family surnames.
25:19OK.
25:19I'm thinking the Texans, the Packers and the Bishops are some sort of American football-y arrangement.
25:27I mean, this is a total guess.
25:28But it might be the Bishops, Cardinals, these are two.
25:31And the Packers, the Texans and the Griffins are that.
25:34And the Simpsons are out.
25:35I think you're a genius because I think Cardinals under Bishops were sent to destroy us.
25:41But we won't be destroyed.
25:42I think you're right.
25:43I think I can see Packers.
25:45It's such an American word.
25:48I'm going to go for the Texans, Packers and Bishops.
25:51The Simpsons and the Griffins are the two and the Cardinals are the one.
25:54But it's probably completely logical.
25:56Let's have a look.
25:58Oh, I think you've gone only slightly astray.
26:01So the Simpsons and Griffins are animated characters in TV shows, yes.
26:06Yeah.
26:07The NFL teams, Houston Texans, the Green Bay Packers and the Arizona Cardinals.
26:15The odd one out is Bishops.
26:16At the end of that round, Carol and Jenny have seven points.
26:20Let's see the score for Sally and Shappie who are ahead with 11.
26:25Just a little bit further ahead.
26:27Come on, guys.
26:29Come on, Carol's team.
26:30Hopefully you've got some connections at home there and you managed to solve some of those puzzles.
26:34Great work if you did.
26:35OK, it's time for us to take a quick break.
26:37One in which Sally, Shappie, Carol, Jenny and myself discuss how we can hang out together more off camera.
26:44We'll see you in a few minutes for more Celebrity Puzzling.
26:51If you want to keep puzzling, see if you can use the clue to solve this around-the-block teaser.
26:56All will be revealed after the break.
27:04Have you discovered the answer and solved this around-the-block puzzle?
27:09If you figured it out, well done.
27:14Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling, the quiz show that puts famous faces through the ringer
27:18but is actually nowhere near as unpleasant as that sounds.
27:21Carol and Sally have joined forces with the more than capable Jenny Bond and Shappie Kosandi.
27:27They're all winners in my book, but that's not quite how the show works.
27:30OK, we're breaking out of our teams for the next round,
27:32so now we'll see what Shappie and Jenny are made of as they face off in a game called Around
27:37the Block.
27:41Carol and Sally, you can go into screensaver mode here
27:43because it's all about your teammates who will be facing off on the buzzer.
27:48Now, this is a wee pricey for this next round.
27:50On the screen, you'll be shown a puzzle consisting of a clue in the middle of the block like that,
27:55film director, and a series of letters around the outside.
27:58Shappie, you've got an idea?
27:59Richard Attenborough.
28:00Richard Attenborough, very good.
28:02That's where it starts, at the bottom.
28:04Richard Attenborough, brilliant.
28:05There'll be five puzzles to solve, fingers on the buzzers,
28:08but it's just Jenny and Shappie playing.
28:10Here is your first one.
28:12The clue is comedian.
28:19Shappie.
28:20Ramesh Ranganathan.
28:21Ramesh Ranganathan.
28:23Looks right.
28:24Let's just check that.
28:26Yeah, it starts on the left-hand side there.
28:28Ramesh Ranganathan.
28:30OK, another one for you.
28:31Fingers on buzzers, please.
28:34Shakespeare clue.
28:40Shappie.
28:41To be or not to be.
28:42To be or...
28:43I can see that.
28:44I think that's right.
28:45Let's check the answer.
28:48Yes, to be or not to be.
28:51Around the outside.
28:53OK, next one for you now.
28:55Let's see the clue.
28:56Jenny versus Shappie, businessman.
29:04Shappie.
29:06Mark Zuckerberg.
29:07Mark?
29:08I see Mark Zuckerberg.
29:10Is he there?
29:11Yeah.
29:12Yes, he's there.
29:13The Z.
29:14The Z helps us.
29:16OK, next.
29:18Shappie trying to get all answers right here.
29:20Let's see.
29:21OK.
29:22Oh.
29:22Nineties hit.
29:31Jenny.
29:32I can see let me entertain you.
29:35Yay!
29:37It's the bond has struck.
29:39Let's just check.
29:40We've got to check.
29:40This is right.
29:41It's the tension in the room here.
29:43Is it right?
29:44Yes.
29:46Yes.
29:46Well done.
29:47Well done.
29:47I'm happy about that.
29:48The secret agent has appeared.
29:51OK, let me entertain you.
29:52There we go.
29:53Last one coming.
29:54Here we go.
29:55Wales.
30:03Jenny.
30:04Pembrokeshire Coast.
30:06Pembrokeshire Coast is Jenny's answer.
30:09Is it right?
30:11Yes.
30:13So good.
30:14Very, very tight.
30:15Very, very tight.
30:16Can we start now?
30:17Yeah, OK, that's it.
30:19Your eyes in.
30:19Let's go.
30:20So, well done, Jenny and Shappie.
30:21Very close round.
30:22Let's look at the totals.
30:23Here we go.
30:25Are they catching up?
30:27It's Carol and Jenny on 11.
30:30Shappie and Sally just ahead on 17.
30:33It is.
30:33That's all too playful.
30:35OK, did you go around the houses with Around the Block at Home or was it a chip off the
30:39old
30:39block for you?
30:41Our next puzzle tests your speed at spotting synonyms, which isn't easy to say.
30:46This is In Other Words.
30:50So, let me explain this.
30:51Well, I will show you the initials to the answer and written inside each initial, you'll
30:55see synonyms for that word.
30:56So, here we've got MF.
30:58On the left, contemporary, recent, fresh, other clue words.
31:01On the right, brood, folk, kin.
31:03Anyone want to stab at this?
31:05Modern family.
31:06Modern family.
31:06Modern family.
31:07Yes.
31:08Lovely.
31:09That's the example.
31:10Brilliant.
31:11Sally and Shappie, I'm going to let you start here.
31:13Here is your first BH.
31:16BH and the clue words snip, haggle, giveaway, stalk, scour, seek.
31:23Bargain hunt.
31:24Oh, yes.
31:25And hunt.
31:26Bargain hunt.
31:27Bargain hunt is your answer.
31:29Let's see if it's right.
31:32Yes.
31:33I totally got that.
31:35Well done.
31:36OK, Carol, Jenny, here we go.
31:40F, P, other letters.
31:42The words repellent, unkind, disgusting.
31:45Then recreation, frolic, drama.
31:51Foul play.
31:52Foul, yeah.
31:52Foul play.
31:54Foul play, says Carol.
31:56Good.
31:57It's right.
32:00Very tight this round.
32:02Sally and Shappie, you'll get fewer synonyms this time,
32:04but it's worth two points.
32:07RS and the words are flowing, dashing on one side, loafers, pumps on the other.
32:15Is it running shoes?
32:16Yeah, running shoes.
32:17I'm not sure that's right.
32:19I'd say running shoes.
32:20Running shoes?
32:21Running shoes.
32:24Oh, wow.
32:25Dashing, running.
32:26Maybe overthinking it a bit.
32:27Dashing, of course.
32:28So, yeah, dashing running.
32:30Of course, dashing around, yeah.
32:30What were you thinking, dashing?
32:32I was thinking, I don't know, dashing.
32:33Pebble dashing.
32:34Oh, dashing, as in a dashing.
32:35I knew you'd be self-loving.
32:36Ah, thank you.
32:37Yay.
32:38I was kind of just fishing for that.
32:40That was smooth.
32:40Carol and Jenny, for two points, it is yours.
32:45FP and the clue words delirium, fervour, field arena.
32:52Fever, fever, fever pitch.
32:54Fever pitch.
32:55Fever pitch.
32:56Fever pitch, says Jenny.
32:58Is it right?
33:00It's right!
33:03Sally and Shepi, just one synonym per word now,
33:06so it's the trickiest yet.
33:08It is worth three points.
33:09Very valuable question.
33:10There's CR and your clue words funny.
33:13Comfort.
33:15Oh.
33:16Er, funny.
33:18Funny.
33:19Comfort.
33:20Comic relief.
33:21Comic relief.
33:22Of course it is.
33:24Comic relief.
33:25Comic relief, says Shepi.
33:27Of course it is.
33:28Is it comic relief?
33:29Yes, it is.
33:30I've never got that.
33:30I didn't get that.
33:32OK, Carol, Jenny, here's your last one for three points.
33:36The letters are ML, and the clue words, flesh lays.
33:42Lays?
33:42Lays.
33:43Lays, lays, lays, lays.
33:45Flesh.
33:51Lies, lays, lays, I can't think of anything else but lie.
33:54No, I can't either.
33:56Lounge, lounge, lounge, lounge, lounge.
33:59Lounge.
33:59A main lounge, a mezzanine lounge, and that.
34:03Might need an answer, and it can be stolen by the other team.
34:07Oh, good.
34:09Oh, do you have it?
34:10Oh, do you have it?
34:10Need an answer.
34:13I don't know.
34:15Oh, don't know.
34:15Oh, OK.
34:18Sally and Shepi.
34:18We reckon meatloaf.
34:22Meatloaf?
34:23Meatloaf?
34:24Oh, wow.
34:25Loaf is, you know, lazing and...
34:28Yeah, loafing about.
34:29Exactly.
34:29So, well done.
34:30So, maybe the teachers are right.
34:31You've got a bonus point for that.
34:33I would never have got that.
34:34Where are we on meatloaf, Jenny?
34:35You a meatloaf fan?
34:36Uh, no.
34:38Not even the great, what is it, Bad Out of Hell?
34:40What a song.
34:41What a song?
34:41Shepi?
34:42I literally thought you meant the food.
34:44Oh, OK.
34:45Absolutely.
34:46The artist also.
34:47I sort of love meatloaf.
34:48OK, how did you get on at home there?
34:50Are you giving our celebrities a run for their money?
34:53At the end of that round, Carol and Jenny have got, let's see, 14.
34:57Shepi and Sally are on...
35:0024.
35:03Pulling ahead.
35:04Got to be stopped.
35:05There are just two rounds to go, and in this one,
35:07both teams will head back to the letterbox to try to scoop up
35:10some much-needed points.
35:11In this round, the team who solved their puzzle the fastest
35:13will receive two bonus points as well,
35:16which will come in mighty handy for our end game.
35:19So let's all take on the far-from-humdrum, Fanundrum.
35:25Here are the rules.
35:26You probably know them by now.
35:27You'll see three anagrams, each a letter longer than the one before.
35:30You've got to rearrange the tiles to solve the five-letter anagram first,
35:35then the six-letter one, and so on.
35:37So, any more want to have a go at this?
35:39Local.
35:39Local, Carol, yes.
35:42Mosaic.
35:42Mosaic.
35:43Yeah.
35:45Um...
35:46It goes...
35:47I beg your pardon.
35:49A dolphin.
35:49Thank you, Jenny.
35:51She understands me.
35:51Very good.
35:52It's your impression.
35:53Your impression.
35:56That wasn't a dolphin noise, though.
35:58Dolphins are more...
35:59I think if they're in pain, they make that noise.
36:02But...
36:02Well, I don't know.
36:04It's not a thought we want to have.
36:05You'll be against the clock,
36:07so as soon as you've solved your third anagram,
36:09you must hit the button to stop the clock.
36:11You'll score two points per solved word.
36:13However, if you complete all three anagrams faster than your opponents,
36:16you'll receive two bonus points.
36:19Sally and Shappie, you're leading,
36:20so would you please head over to the letterbox to face your fenundrum?
36:27As soon as you solve the third fenundrum,
36:29hit the button to stop the clock.
36:30Your time starts now.
36:31OK.
36:32Right.
36:33Um...
36:34Ooh.
36:35Ooh.
36:35OK.
36:37Rough.
36:37Rough, yes.
36:38Rough.
36:38OK.
36:39Brilliant.
36:40Yeah.
36:40Rough.
36:41OK.
36:41It works.
36:42It's gone green.
36:42Rough.
36:45Um...
36:45Um...
36:46Um...
36:47Um...
36:47Bruh.
36:48Bruh.
36:49I don't know what they're doing.
36:50I'm just moving words.
36:53Um...
36:53No, that's not right.
36:54No.
36:54My instincts tell me to try this.
36:57Right.
36:59OK.
36:59Rough, um...
37:00Go.
37:02What do you think?
37:03No.
37:03No, that's nonsense.
37:05It is a word, but not in English.
37:08Oh, right.
37:09Yeah.
37:09Uh...
37:10Rough.
37:11Um...
37:12The clock is running.
37:13The clock is running.
37:13The clock is running.
37:15Yeah, yeah, problem.
37:16There we go.
37:17No, there's no out.
37:18Oh.
37:19OK.
37:20There's no out.
37:21Um...
37:21The time is pushing.
37:23Mm.
37:25I can't.
37:26No.
37:26No.
37:27Oh, that just feels so right, but...
37:29It's not so wrong.
37:30No.
37:31Um, yes.
37:33No.
37:34No.
37:35What do you think, Jeremy?
37:37LAUGHTER
37:38I don't think you're allowed to ask him.
37:40No, you can't coax me.
37:43Oh, where's...
37:44Oh, OK.
37:45I did see it.
37:46I mean, I don't know, this doesn't help you.
37:48I think it's bumper, isn't it?
37:50Yeah.
37:50Partly because an ER often goes at the end.
37:52Yeah, I should have thought of that, yeah.
37:53I don't know.
37:54I don't think that to the very end.
37:55But now, can you guys see this one here?
37:57Episode.
37:58Episode.
37:59Oh, so clever.
38:01Episode bumper rough.
38:02We've got one.
38:03I couldn't see that one at all.
38:04Two points.
38:05Not to worry, you're ahead.
38:07You've just got to hope they don't catch up.
38:08Before Carol and Jenny face their fate and play Fernandrum,
38:11for themselves, we'll have a short break,
38:13and when we return, we'll discover who will take home the spoils,
38:15not to mention the famous puzzling cube.
38:18I'll see you in a few minutes.
38:20APPLAUSE
38:23Why don't you try unscrambling this Fernandrum during the ads?
38:28Best of luck.
38:35Did you successfully solve this Fernandrum?
38:39If you did, great puzzling.
38:41APPLAUSE
38:44Welcome back to Celebrity Puzzling,
38:46the show which leaves even the biggest stars totally befuddled.
38:49We're reaching the climax of an epic tussle
38:51between Carol and Jenny and Sally and Shappie.
38:53So, popcorn ready for a big finish.
38:56Carol and Jenny, you're now on the Fernandrum.
38:58You'll have three new anagrams to solve.
39:01I see Jenny breathing in...
39:02Yes.
39:03..with fortitude.
39:04Sally and Shappie may have helped you a bit
39:06because they failed to complete all three.
39:08So, if you complete all three, you are guaranteed...
39:10This is our only chance.
39:12..of two bonus points, yeah.
39:13Yeah, it's our only chance.
39:13So, once you solve all three anagrams,
39:15please hit the red button.
39:16Good luck. Your time starts now.
39:20Album.
39:22Modern, I think.
39:24Modern.

39:52Please head back to your seats.
39:58OK.
39:58Well, it's getting a bit tighter, isn't it?
40:00Carol and Jenny have added six points to their score.
40:03As we go into the final, Carol and Jenny are on 22.
40:07Shappie and Sally, 26, being closed in on.
40:12I can win this.
40:13It now all comes down to this.
40:14It's time for our final round.
40:16Answer bang.
40:20So, a bit of catching up for Carol and Jenny to do,
40:23but this is for all four of you to play.
40:25In a moment, I'm going to show you a grid of 12 words.
40:28I'll ask you questions against the clock.
40:30Just buzz in and give me the correct answer.
40:31If an answer has more than one word,
40:34you've got to give all the corresponding words
40:36in the correct order.
40:38You'll score a point per word,
40:40so it could add up to winning or losing the whole show on this.
40:43Good luck all.
40:43Let's reveal the words.
41:07OK, take those in.
41:12All kind of random, apparently unrelated words.
41:15Got your fingers on your buzzers.
41:16Well done, teams.

43:05Never mind.
43:06I tried.
43:07It's a little bit nuts, that one.
43:09It's time to find out who has won tonight.
43:12Oh, I can't.
43:13This is it.
43:13I know, it's all come too soon.
43:15And the tension.
43:17It's very, very, very close.
43:18Yes.
43:19I can tell you.
43:20Let's see Carol and Jenny's first.

43:39Well done.

43:40That was a joy.
43:41It was fun, yes.
43:41Well done.
43:42One point in it.
43:44That is mad.
43:44So, Shappie, as the winning guest celebrity, I will produce your prize, and it's this.
43:50Now, because I jumbled it earlier, I know it doesn't look like much.
43:55But I can actually make this even more special by giving you one that's not been scrambled yet.
43:59Amazing.
44:00So, there we are, with all the faces of the squad.
44:05I mean, I'm beside myself.
44:07Jenny, I'm sorry.
44:08I can't give you one.
44:09Don't worry about it.
44:10You're still a star, even though you made me lose.
44:12Oh.
44:13So, that just about wraps things up for Celebrity Puzzling.
