TVTranscript
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.

20:22there you
20:22go thank you Trixie all right the final side for the soul for Carol and Kevin here it comes both
20:27oh okay we've got those symbols now and it's a crafting tool please
20:33uh okay a craft so a saw or a sewing needle or a sewing needle yes yes
20:48knitting needle I think it might be knitting needle I don't know how you've done it if
20:57it's right but let's see knitting needle well done at the end of that round Sally and Stephen
21:09have played so well 21 points Carol and Kevin have played even better 25 points just the wits of a
21:19knitting needle did you playing at home manage to outscore our celebrities because they're all
21:24playing really well today so Carol Sally Kevin and Stephen are clearly exhausted from their
21:29exertions poor lambs we'll have a quick break we'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
21:41did you successfully solve this around the block puzzle if you cracked it well done
22:04welcome back to celebrity puzzling I'm Jeremy Vine my karaoke song is gold by Spandau Ballet
22:11interesting speaking of interesting Carol and Sally are currently locked in a real battle for
22:16puzzling supremacy today alongside Kevin Eldon and Stephen Bailey this is where Kevin and Stephen are
22:21put to the ultimate puzzling test so it is time for the celebrity guest puzzler head to head
22:26head and the game is join the dots so here Carol and Sally can kick back a little and let
22:35their
22:35celebrity guests take the load Kevin and Stephen on the screen you will be shown a puzzle consisting of a
22:40category in a series of dots so you can see the category there is school and the dots will start
22:46to spell out the
22:47the correct answer there we are just an example head teacher is it yes there we are okay the first
22:55player to buzz in and give the correct answer will score two points if a player buzzes incorrectly with
22:59their answer the animation will freeze and their opponent will have the chance to steal so be quick but
23:05be right and you've seen how it works there are five puzzles to solve fingers on buzzers here we go
23:11music event is a clue Kevin I'm I'm guessing that it might be Glastonbury is that right no chance to
23:23steal is it Glastonbury festival is it Glastonbury festival no go on go on fast but maybe too fast
23:34okay here is the next one category goalkeeper if it's not Gordon Banks I don't know who it is oh
23:45well
23:45that's good for me actually oh that's when you know Kevin it's there basically isn't it is it Jordan
23:57Pickford it's Jordan Pickford
24:03here's the next one then it probably isn't football no it's not it's statement and we're going to show
24:07you the dots and they start to move now buzz when you know oh it's just coming together well there
24:15must be something in there oh Steven Nelson Mandela Nelson Mandela is it right yes it is well done
24:25time for another action stations category cult TV oh I hope if they mention this show we're going to
24:33get on the pitch oh Steven Stranger Things yeah Stranger Things he says is Stranger Things right
24:50another please final one now tennis player
24:57two words sort of equal length words looking for letters lots of verticals
25:08Stephen Janik Sinner it's virtually complete is that right Janik Sinner yes of course you do
25:19Janik so there we are well done Kevin and Stephen Kevin two points there Stephen just scooted ahead
25:25there with seven so let's look at the totals then Carol and Kevin 27 points Stephen and Sally have now
25:34moved ahead with 28 what a contest we have here did you find Janik Sinner or Janik Sinner before Steven
25:44before Kevin I think maybe you're still looking for it still looking for it our next round is all
25:49about making some serious shapes yes it is shape shifters so show you an example of how this one
25:56works you will see a grid of answers a question and a corresponding shape simply give me the correct
26:00answers that fit exactly inside the shape so pretty simple shape here by the way of course Sally you
26:06cannot rotate the shapes brilliant can I take exception to that as a catchphrase why I've got an
26:13alternative it may be a shame but the squares stay the same right so here this is just the example
26:32film is
26:33directed by Alfred Hitchcock and we're looking for one above the other like the shape
26:37the birds and psycho well they were certainly his let's have a look and see if that's right
26:44that's good and then we can also show you other ones by him vertigo strangers on a train yeah so
26:50that's how it works Sally and Stephen are up first here is your first shapeshifter puzzle two points on
26:57the line playing pieces in the board game operation funny bone definitely definitely wishbone definitely
27:03wishbone broke oh yes is it broken heart or wishbone I think I don't know you tell me no you
27:09tell me I
27:09don't want seven last time I played it so I would guess wishbone and broken heart let's do it let's
27:15do
27:15wishbone and broken heart let's do that okay so playing pieces in the board game operation you've gone for
27:21wishbone and broken heart is that right yeah well done bravo funny bone and Adam's apple would have also
27:30counted but they didn't fit the shape so Carol and Kevin here is your first shapeshifters puzzle
27:37Peppa Pig characters and it may be a shame but the squares stay the same
27:48yes it's a few years ago now because mine are sort of out yeah I don't recognize Adam Adder
27:56no Mandy Mouse Harriet Hedgehog in which case if there is no Adam Adder then that center one's out
28:04yeah I guess so yeah yeah okay um I think we should try Mandy Mouse and Harriet Hedgehog but I'm
28:12not
28:13sure okay we're going hedgehog mouse hedgehog and mouse is your answer let's see Harriet and Mandy let's
28:19see if that's right oh you can steal for a point my kids are 15 now but I watch this
28:27like with like
28:28one eye open yeah till I was sleep I think it might be Freddie Fox and Zoe Zebra all right
28:35are you right
28:36about that Freddie Fox and Zoe Zebra let's see for a steal so let me tell you Freddie Fox Zoe
28:45Zebra
28:45correct Pedro Pony has a pet stick insect called Stephen correct as well Mandy Mouse loves playing
28:51basketball Edmund Elephant is in there but obviously the only two that are in the right formation are
28:56Freddie and Zoe Sally and Stephen here's your second puzzle the shape has been increased so
29:00now you need to find three answers in the grid that match the shape and we've made the grid bigger
29:05this is worth three points now but you still can't rotate the shape here we go what a shame
29:11performers at Live Aid oh what a great one so it's one above the other and then a diagonal downwards
29:17okay it is yeah it's not black lace it's the who definitely they did both live it status quo was
29:25the first act on and Brian Ferry now that I think is it so that's what I'm going for the
29:33who status quo Brian
29:34Ferry the who status quo Brian Ferry and you're in sort of a music industry adjacent and my husband
29:40played the second live eight oh no he played with a who on the second line wow oh he's the
29:46only
29:46drummer played with both so played the style council in the first did he fantastic okay let's see if
29:51you're right the who status quo Brian Ferry anyone know any other I mean Elvis was there of course
30:01Queen Elvis Costello Queen yeah who uh Sade how can we forget Sade brilliant there we go okay Carol
30:08Kevin for three points next one cities in the southern hemisphere be careful here you've got an L
30:15shaped and we know it's a shame but the squares a part of the game so that's not the right
30:22motto but
30:23it was quite good yes Johannesburg Johannesburg yes has Kenya is on the equator isn't it and Joe
30:32burgers below so yes it's pretty low down yeah obviously yeah we're going forward Johannesburg
30:44Buenos Aires and Auckland Schoberg Buenos Aires Auckland let's see if you're right yeah very good
30:52very good so if I catch I just run through a few for you yeah so Brisbane yeah Australia Harare
31:00in
31:00anyone I don't know which country oh Zimbabwe okay Sally and Stephen here's your final one it's a
31:07slightly larger grid this time but you're still looking for three answers that match the shape it's
31:11one and then it's one up and one down on the diagonal okay sports with round balls please
31:16so rugby's no okay no rugby because that's like ice hockey no croquet yes table tennis yes
31:24water polo yes it's water polo yes um Canadian football
31:32billions yeah I don't know what shins he is ice hockey's a puck no because field hockey's a round ball
31:40and I don't know what shinty and billiards is brilliant all right field hockey's on the grass
31:44isn't it I think it is field hockey billiards and shinty whatever that is do you know what shinty is
31:53we need we do need an answer medical condition is I think I'll tell it up field hockey billiards and
32:00shinty whatever that is all right shinty billiards field hockey let's see if it's right
32:04it says it like that well done Stephen on knowing field hockey was a ball I guess hockey tends to
32:11have balls does it shinty is played in the Scottish Highlands he said respectfully billiards of course
32:18round balls field hockey round let's have a look at the other ones that do have rambles obviously table
32:22tennis water polo croquet cricket lacrosse yeah but you can't put them into the right shape
32:30because it seems a shame what you seems a shame might be a shame but you can't make the squares
32:38take the blame no but the squares stay the same exactly yes yeah the squares stay the same yeah
32:42it's as bad as you can't rotate the shapes no one's getting it all right Carol and Kevin here we
32:47go
32:48words in the title of CS Lewis's Narnia books this three one dropped between the other two so we're
32:56going like that yeah it was the silver armchair or the chair or something nephew nephew's in one
33:10dawn's in one voyage gold what language and wardrobe yeah is there a secret is there a secret
33:18one Prince Caspian can't be secret because of the shape might be a shame but the squares stay the same
33:25is it yeah well yeah that's a rule in it I'm a secret wardrobe Prince Prince okay let's try
33:33dawn voyage golden it's gone dawn voyage golden let's have a look dawn voyage golden oh okay you

33:52oh no now let me tell you this will be good so let's reveal the answer please oh voyage horse
33:59battle
34:00you're absolutely right I mean Kevin you're very good on this because voyage of the dawn trader is a
34:05title so dawn would have counted as well but we'll come to that in a second the last battle is
34:10a title
34:11and the horse and his boy is a title I don't remember we'll have a look at the other ones
34:16so lion witch and
