08:47That's not really a warning.
08:49That's a warning. Stop taking a dive.

08:56Oh, F1. F1, cos when the flags go down.
08:58Yeah. But is it situated in front?
09:02Well, you wouldn't have it behind you, otherwise you wouldn't know to go.

09:27The first two were dealt with far too easily, so I'm glad.
09:31Ranby, what do you think?
09:32It's a solo sport, not a team sport.
09:34Oh, I don't know.
09:35Something you might say, as the player, that you might say as a warning.
09:39Four.
09:40Four is the right answer. Of course, in golf, yeah, if the ball goes, it's going to hit someone,

11:27In the middle, I'm doubled up.
11:28And in the end, I finish last.
11:30What am I?
11:32I think I know what it could be.
11:34That's quick.
11:35Talk me through it.
11:36Well, I'm wondering if it's the number one.
11:38I'm in the lead at the beginning of the day.
11:40Because the first hour of the day is one.
11:43And then doubled up in the middle.
11:45Well, 11 is two ones, isn't it?
11:47But the middle?
11:49All right, keep going.
11:50Well, maybe it's the letter D.
11:52And in the end...
11:53Because the word day, the first letter is D.
11:55There's two Ds in middle.
11:57I'm in the lead at the beginning of the day.
11:59I'm in the middle.
12:00I finish last is the word end.
12:03Let's go for the letter D.
12:04Oh, sorry, it's my favourite letter.
12:05Hang on, who was a favourite letter?
12:07His name.
12:08Daniel.
12:09OK, fair enough.
12:10Are you happy with that, the letter D?
12:13Because the word...
12:14Now I see it, yes.
12:15I think you're correct.
12:15Henry, D.
12:17Give it to us.
12:17Final answer.
12:19D, you're saying?
12:20Yes, please.
12:21The letter D.
12:23It's the right answer.
12:24Oh, yes.
12:25Very good.
12:26D, absolutely, as you say.
12:27Of course, day begins with D.
12:28Middle, doubles up in the middle.
12:30And one D at the end of end.
12:31Well done.
12:31Daniel and Gaz, £100 to you guys on the final riddle of this opening round.
12:38So, teams, let's take a look at the scores at the end of that round.

12:43Daniel and Gaz, you've now, because of that riddle, got £250.
12:47Bea and Martha, you've got £125, which sadly means that we will be saying goodbye to you.
12:52I'm so sorry.
12:53You're best friends, aren't you, as well?
12:55But you have to share with us before you go how much Ridiculous has impacted your social life.
13:00Because you're obsessed with the show.
13:02Yeah, well, as students, you know, we don't have much better things to do than watch daytime television.
13:06Hang on a minute.
13:09We love watching Ridiculous, so, yeah, we ended up having a bit of a themed party way to come dressed
13:13as your favourite riddle.
13:14So, yeah.
13:15What riddles did you guys come dressed as?
13:17I came as a doctor for a doctor-themed riddle.
13:20Yeah.
13:21That takes a lot of explaining.
13:22Yeah.
13:23And I came as a detective.
13:24Super stuff.
13:25Well, it's a shame we have to say goodbye, but I hope you're still going to be fans of the
13:28show.
13:29Yes, definitely.
13:29I hope so.
13:30Good.
13:30All right.
13:31Lovely to have you on the show, Bea and Martha.
13:33And that's it for part one.
13:34Henry, should we have another riddle for the viewers to solve over the break?
13:38Yeah, let's have this one.
13:39This little two-wheeler looks listless and sad.
13:42What is it?
13:42I'll give you the answer after the break.
13:54Welcome back.
13:55Now, before the break, Henry, what was that riddle again?
13:58The riddle was, this little two-wheeler looked listless and sad.
14:02What is it?
14:04Any ideas?
14:06A bicycle?
14:07No.
14:08A little scooter.
14:09Well, you've got two young kids.
14:10They must have loads of these little...
14:12Scooters, a balanced bike.
14:13Yeah.
14:14It's not a balanced bike.
14:16Nothing bad about that.
14:17Also, if you're listless or if you're sad, what might you be doing?
14:20Moping.
14:21Oh, is it a moped?
14:21Moped.
14:22Oh, very good.
14:23Moped around.
14:24Or moped.
14:24Yeah, well done.
14:25Right, welcome back.
14:26So, we've got round two ahead of us.
14:28How are you feeling, Daniel and Gaz?
14:29It was a bit close between you guys and me and Martha in the end, wasn't it?
14:32Yeah, it was a little bit too close for comfort, to be honest.
14:35Yeah, but you're here, which is great news.
14:38So, let's take a look at the scores as they are.
14:41So, Daniel and Gaz, you have £250.
14:45Siobhan and Ian, you have £475.
14:48So, in this round, correct general knowledge answers are worth £50.
14:53Once again, you need three correct answers to unlock a riddle,
14:56and the riddles are quite different.
14:59They certainly are.
14:59So, in this round, you're going to be facing visual riddles,
15:02as you might expect.
15:03They contain pictures, but also numbers, shapes and words.
15:06And if you get them right, they're worth £200 each.
15:10Now, only one member of your team will be able to face the riddle,
15:15and you'll have just 60 seconds in which to get it right.
15:19Also, in this round, if you get your riddle wrong,
15:23then it will be offered to the opposing team for a steal.
15:27Now, before we get there, of course, hands by the buzzers,
15:29we've got to get more general knowledge questions out there.
15:32Good luck to both teams.
15:34Here we go. Let's play.
15:37How many humps are there on a Bactrian camel?
15:41Daniel and Gaz.

16:26Good answer.
16:27Well done.
16:28Right.
16:29So, you've got £400 in your prize pot,
16:31but more importantly,
16:32you have to decide who's going to face Henry's riddle.
16:36Do you want to take a look at the categories?
16:38Yes, please.
16:40So, words, shapes or pictures?
16:45Shall I do pictures or do you want to do something else?
16:47If you've got one that you really like the sound of,
16:48you think, yes, that's mine.
16:49Honestly, no, you can go for whatever you want.
16:52So, what have you chosen?
16:53Pictures.
16:53Pictures, right.
16:55All right, let me just remind you
16:57that you can still ask for a clue.
16:59We will stop the clock for as long as it takes
17:01for Henry to read that clue
17:03and then we'll restart the clock.
17:04So, just bear that in mind.
17:05Henry, over to you.
17:06You guys have been behind so far in the game.
17:08If you get this right, you will take the lead.
17:10No pressure.
17:11So, no pressure at all.
17:12You'll have 60 seconds to give me a correct answer
17:14after I finish reading the riddle that goes with this.
17:16Which of these playing cards is not correct?
17:19Your time starts now.
17:20I'm joking.
17:25Which of these playing cards is not correct?
17:33Uh, seven?
17:37Seven?
17:38It looks like spades.
17:39Seven of spades?
17:44Underneath?
17:46Oh, no, maybe not.
17:50Is there such a thing as a ten?
17:52Oh, wait, hell, I know you count.
17:59Oh.
18:00You've got 20 seconds left.
18:0615.
18:11Start locking something in, Gaz.
18:12Um, I think it's actually...
18:17Nine.
18:18The nine of hearts.
18:21Nine of hearts.
18:25It's the wrong answer.
18:26OK, no more time for Siobhan and Ian.
18:28What's your answer?
18:29Seven.
18:30He was right.
18:31Yeah, it's got the spade symbol.
18:34Seven is the right answer.
18:36Oh!
18:37Why?
18:38So, it's seven of spades.
18:39The card's been recoloured as red,
18:40but it was spade symbols hidden amongst...
18:42Oh, you said that, Gaz!
18:44I did.
18:45Great steal.
18:46That's £100 to Siobhan and Ian.
18:49Here we go.
18:51In Game of Thrones,
18:52what is the nickname of Sandor Clegane,
18:55played by Rory McCann?
18:56Siobhan and Ian.
18:57The Hound.
18:58You've got to know the show, haven't you,

19:01Well done.

19:13by the British painter Lucien
19:15and the Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund?

19:20Correct.
19:20Daniel and Gaz.
19:21That's another £50.
19:23You're one correct answer away
19:24from unlocking the next visual riddle.
19:27In relation to the film and TV website,
19:29what do the initials I am...
19:33Daniel and Gaz.
19:34Internet movie database.
19:36Correct.
19:37In relation to the film and TV website,
19:39what do the initials I am DB stand for?
19:42So, Daniel and Gaz,
19:43you're here again.
19:44Ben, should we just take a look
19:45at what's left for the categories
19:47because you've got words or shapes?
19:49I'm going to hand it over to you this time.
19:50I can't take the pressure.
19:51No, no problem.
19:53Let's go for shapes.
19:55Why not?
19:55All right, go for it.
19:56Well done.
19:57So, what have you got up your devious sleeve, Henry?
20:01No player cards in sight.
20:02Don't worry.
20:0360 seconds to give you a correct answer, Daniel,
20:04after I've finished reading
20:05the riddle that goes with this.
20:07What number is missing?
20:09Your time starts now.
20:10What number is missing?
20:2830?
20:31Lock you in 30?
20:32Yeah, I'd like to lock in 30.
20:3430, Daniel, why?
20:37So, I did the first one
20:40and it looks like the triangle is three sides
20:42and the diamond inside has four.
20:44And so, I'm thinking four times three is 12.
20:48And then I looked at the N shape
20:50and it's a pentagon inside a hexagon.
20:53And so, five times six is 30.
20:57Daniel, it's the rider.
20:58That's the answer.
20:59Yeah.
20:59That is exactly right.
21:01Great stuff.
21:01Come on, gals.
21:02Yeah, give him a round.
21:03You can get, gals, you can give him a round of applause.
21:05That's so lovely.
21:06Very well deduced, yeah.
21:07So, the outside shape, number of sides,
21:09multiplied by the number of sides of the inside shape.
21:11It's true in all cases, of course,
21:12and you correctly identified a six-sided shape,
21:14hexagon, five-sided shape, pentagon.
21:16Six times five is 30.
21:17Well done.
21:19Fantastic work, Daniel.
21:20You were very cool under pressure, I have to say.
21:23It's all a facade.
21:24No, no.
21:25Well, it's paid off, certainly,
21:27because I can add another £200 to your prize pot.
21:31And, yes, for the first time in the game,
21:34Daniel and Gaz, you are ahead.
21:35You have £750.
21:37Siobhan and Ian, you have £675.
21:40So, the game is really on.
21:42Good stuff.
21:44We have one more visual riddle to go.
21:46Hands by the buzzers.
21:47Here we go.
21:48Abraham Lincoln represented which political party,
21:52Siobhan and Ian?
21:52The Republican Party.
21:54Yes, exactly.
21:54While he was president of the USA.
21:57Which singer played Patrizia Reggiani
22:00in the 2021 Siobhan and Ian?
22:02Madonna.
22:03Incorrect.
22:04Which singer played Patrizia Reggiani
22:07in the 2021 film House of Gucci?
22:11Daniel and Gaz.
22:12I want to say Lady Gaga.
22:13You want to say it.
22:15You've said it.
22:15You're right.
22:16Good answer.
22:17So, that's £50 to Daniel and Gaz.
22:20The Azores are an island group in the Atlantic.
22:24Daniel and Gaz.
22:25Oh, no.
22:27Portugal.
22:29Correct.
22:30The full question is,
22:32the Azores are an island group in the Atlantic Ocean
22:34that are part of which country?
22:36The answer is Portugal.
22:37Daniel and Gaz, another £50.
22:39What rhyming term can mean
22:42both something that is haphazard
22:45and a type of fairground slide?
22:49Siobhan and Ian.
22:50Helter Skelter.
22:51Yes, Helter Skelter.
22:53I doubted myself for a second there.
22:55So, Daniel and Gaz, Siobhan and Ian,
22:58whoever answers this next question correctly
23:00will unlock the next visual riddle.
23:04Which Britpop group was formed in the 90s
23:08by the brothers Liam and Noel?
23:10Siobhan and Ian.
23:11Oasis.
23:12Correct.
23:13It was a question of speed in the end.
23:16Now, Siobhan and Ian.
23:18So, you guys, for the first time,
23:19have to make this decision
23:20about who wants to take the visual riddle on.
23:23Of course, you don't have a choice over category.
23:25Words, it is.
23:26Who wants it?
23:27You're about to throw me under the bus, aren't you?
23:29You are.
23:30Yeah, OK.
23:32Henry.
23:32Siobhan, 60 seconds to give me a correct answer
23:34after I've finished reading the riddle that goes with this.
23:36Good luck.
23:37What is the minimum number of cars parked on the street?
23:40Your time starts now.
23:41Can I have the clue, please?
23:42Stop the clock.
23:44A colour could appear more than once on the street.
23:46Start the clock.
23:47That's back to the street, Fondue.
23:51It's so low-red.
23:57Three.
23:59Are you locking it in?
24:04Yes.
24:05Locked in.
24:06Locking in three.
24:07It's wrong.
24:09OK.
24:09No more time for Daniel and Gaz.
24:11What's your answer?
24:13Four.
24:15Four?
24:16Yeah.
24:18Why do you think it's four?
24:20Good question.
24:21I have no idea.
24:23Well, OK.
24:24It says the middle two cars are green and red.
24:26The green could be part of the rear.
24:29The front two cars are blue and red.
24:32So the red car from the front could be from the middle as well.
24:37And then, yeah, blue is...
24:40What?
24:41In my head, it made more sense.
24:42It's a bit of a guess.
24:43I used my words.
24:44It's a bit of a guess, but you're saying four.
24:46Yeah.
24:46Four is the right answer.
24:48Oh, my God.
24:49Yeah.
24:49Can you explain it to me?
24:51Yeah, I certainly can.
24:52This is the correct order there.
24:53Blue, red, green, and blue.
24:55Of course, the key really is that there is a blue car at either end.
24:58And that's what the clue is about, right?
25:00The colour could appear more than once.
25:01We know there's a blue car at the beginning and a blue car at the end.
25:03And we know that there is a green and red pair in the middle.
25:06So even if there were more cars, we're looking for the minimum number of cars.
25:09It must be at least four.
25:10Otherwise, all three of those rules couldn't prove true.
25:13If it was three, you'd have the blue either side.
25:15You'd only have one car in the middle, or you wouldn't have one of the blues on the end.
25:18That's exactly what I was saying.
25:18So, well done.
25:19That was a steal for £100, Daniel and Gaz.
25:24So, teams, at the end of that round, Daniel and Gaz have £950.
25:29Only a little bit behind, Siobhan and Ian have £825.
25:34But all of that, as you've seen in that round, can change really quickly.
25:38The lead can go from one to the other.
25:40So, just have a few moments to have a few deep breaths.
25:43Don't think about that riddle ever again.
25:46Henry, can we have another one that is nothing to do with parking cars or numbers?
25:49This is not to do with parking cars or numbers.
25:52On a horse or in a pool, this game is mint.
25:55What is it?
25:56On a horse or in a pool, this game is mint.
25:59What is it?
26:00I'll give you the answer after the break.
26:12Welcome back to Ridiculous, the ridiculously clever and brain-teasing show.
26:17Now, before the break, Henry, what was that riddle again?
26:19The riddle was, on a horse or in a pool, this game is mint.
26:23What is it?
26:25Everyone's got this one, I think.
26:26Yes.
26:26Yeah, I think it's a polo.
26:28Polo, it's absolutely right.
26:29Of course, yeah, polo played on horseback or water polo in a swimming pool.
26:32And, of course, polo mints as well.
26:34I love it.
26:35Thank you so much, Henry.
26:36Now then, teams, how did you find the visual riddle round?
26:40Yes, exactly.
26:41Yes, it is.
26:42You're just an emoji at this point, aren't you?
26:44Yeah.
26:44Is it different being here and doing it?
26:47Because, obviously, you do play the game a lot at home.
26:50Yeah.
26:51Considerably a lot less swearing and arguments between us, yeah.
26:54Oh, you're keeping it clean for us, are you?
26:56I'm not PG tonight.
26:58Very good.
26:59And, Daniel and Gaz, you came from behind there and now you're in the lead.
27:02Dan's doing really well.
27:03Stop.
27:04Gaz, you're doing well too.
27:06I feel like I'm underperforming.
27:07You feel like you're underperforming.
27:08Listen, everyone's got a chance to really show what they're made of in this next round.
27:13Let's take a look at the prize pots.
27:14They're at £825 and £950.
27:18But this, guys, is where the competition gets serious,
27:22as the team with the highest prize pot at the end of this round
27:27will be going through to the final to face Henry's riddle run.
27:32Now, this time, correct answers from me are worth £100.
27:37And how much are the riddles worth, Henry?
27:39Well, this is the deciding round.
27:40So, these are the toughest riddles you've faced yet.
27:42But if you can get them right, they're worth £300 each.
27:45So, in this round, anything can change.
27:48Play your hearts out.
27:49Good luck.
27:52Which English county is home to Maidstone, Tombridge Wells, Daniel and Gaz?
27:58Kent.
27:58Yes, and Canterbury.
28:00The answer is Kent, £100 to Daniel and Gaz.
28:03Which satirical TV poppet show takes its name from a phrase
28:07for an exact likeness?
28:09Daniel and Gaz.
28:11Spearing image.
28:12Correct.
28:14In 1789, Fletcher Christian led a mutiny aboard which ship?
28:21Siobhan and Dion.
28:22The Bounty.
28:23Correct, yes.
28:26Kendrick Lamar's 2024 single, Not Like Us, was a diss track aimed, Daniel and Gaz?
28:33At Drake.
28:34Aimed at which Canadian rapper?
28:36The answer is Drake.
28:39Good knowledge.
28:40Right, Daniel and Gaz.
28:42So, here you are.
28:43You've unlocked the first £300 riddle.
28:45Good luck.
28:46If you're part of the metal community, then we'd probably find each other attractive.
28:50Though, I'm repelled by those exactly like myself.
28:54What am I?
28:55I think I know what it is.
28:56I think it's a magnet.
28:57Yeah.
28:59If you're part of the metal community.
29:01For me, I was thinking it was about music.
29:03So, yeah, we'd probably find each other attractive.
29:06Although, I'm repelled by...
29:07Yeah, so magnets have a positive and a negative.
29:10Why didn't we have iron filings at school, you know?
29:12Oh, yeah.
29:12You didn't do that?
29:13We weren't trusted with those.
29:14There's no chance.
29:16Are we saying...
29:17I mean, I'd like to say magnet.
29:19I can't think of another answer.
29:21Yeah.
29:22I'm in agreement.
29:23Let's go for magnet.
29:24You're locking in magnet?
29:25Yeah.
29:25Why?
29:28Because magnets stick together, but when you put them the wrong way around, they push each
29:32other apart.
29:32Yeah, if you put the same poles together, they repel.
29:37It's the right answer.
29:38Well done.
29:38Of course, yeah.
29:39You really do make me doubt myself, Henry.
29:42All part of the game, yes.
29:44Yeah, no, absolutely.
29:45Of course, yeah.
29:45So, if you put two magnets with the same polarity again, of course, they'll push each other apart.
29:49And most metals, not all, are, of course, attracted to magnets.
29:53Yeah, well done.
29:54Daniel and Gaz, great riddling there.
29:56That means you've added £300 to your prize part.
30:00All right, here we go.
30:01All right, here we go.
30:01Next question.
30:02On a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, where A is the first column, B is the second column,
30:11and so on, what is the 27th column?
30:16Daniel and Gaz.
30:17AA.
30:18Yes.
30:19Good answer.
30:20Which 2013 Disney film is set in the kingdom of Arendelle?
30:26Daniel and Gaz.
30:27Frozen.
30:28Frozen it is.
30:31In the Tour de France, the rider in which position is referred to as the Lantern Rouge?
30:40Siobhan and Ian.
30:41The last one.
30:42Indeed it is.
30:43It means red light, referring to the red rear light of a vehicle.
30:48First aired in October 1946, Woman's Hour is broadcast on which BBC radio station?
30:56Daniel and Gaz.
30:57BBC Radio 4?
30:59Correct.
31:00OK, so Daniel and Gaz, you're about to face a £300 riddle.
31:05How are you feeling, Gaz?
31:07Because I know you said you felt like you were underperforming, but look, you're doing well.
31:09I think I've brought it back in this last round.
31:11Reputation restored?
31:13Let's not say that just yet.
31:15OK.
31:16Reputation's on the line here, Henry.
31:17I think it will be restored if you get this one right.
31:18This is one of my faves.
31:20People think I'm a loser.
31:21In fact, their expectations of me are so low that I'm like a subwoofer.
31:26What am I?
31:27No.
31:28I don't think I'm a loser.
31:30OK, a subwoofer.
31:31I wonder...
31:33Base?
31:34Yeah.
31:34A subwoofer amplifies the base.
31:36Low is also the base of something.
31:39Yeah.
31:39Base level expectations.
31:41I'm not sure about the loser part, though.
31:44Basic?
31:45Oh, OK.
31:46Yeah.
31:47Yeah.
31:48Mm.
31:49Base.
31:49But is it base or basic?
31:51I don't think basic is a thing.
31:53It's an adjective, isn't it?
31:55I think, sorry, should we go for it?
31:58Base.
31:59We're going to lock in base, please, Henry.
32:02Base.
32:03It's the wrong answer, I'm afraid.
32:04All right.
32:05Siobhan and Ian, what have you got for a steal?
32:08Not clear.
32:09Basic.
32:10Yeah.
32:10Go for it.
32:11Basic.
32:12Yeah.
32:12Also wrong, I'm afraid.
32:14So it is something that might be a synonym for loser or someone, more specifically, if
32:19your expectations are low of someone, what might you call them?
32:22And also a subwoofer, of course, is a type of speaker, but not in this sense.
32:27What might a woofer be?
32:28A dog.
32:28A dog.
32:29A dog.
32:29Absolutely, yeah.
32:30So dog is an important part of it.
32:31Siobhan's got it now, the pennies dropped.
32:33So you got it?
32:33What is it, Siobhan?
32:35Oh, no, I haven't.
32:35I thought it was dog.
32:36Sorry.
32:37It's not dog.
32:37Dog is.
32:38I just saw woofer, but dog.
32:40So to do a dog, but also, it's not just a woofer, it's a subwoofer.
32:44So sub might be under.
32:47Under dog.
32:48Under dog is the right answer.
32:49Under dog.
32:50Yeah.
32:50If your expectations of someone are low, they're the underdog, you might not expect them to
32:54succeed.
32:55And of course, a subwoofer.
32:56You know, if you're sub or woof, you're under a dog.
32:58Well, there are no underdogs here.
33:00You're both very well matched in terms of your prowess.
33:03Let's go.
33:03In 1994, Michael O'Leary was appointed CEO of which Irish airline?
33:11Daniel and Gaz.
33:12Sorry, it's OK.
33:13Ryanair.
33:14Correct.
33:16Next question.
33:18Which generation, beginning with the letter M, is...
33:23Siobhan and Ian.
33:25Millennials.
33:26Millennial.
33:27Yes, correct.
33:27Yes.
33:28Very good.
33:29OK, which generation, beginning with the letter M, is chronologically between Generation
33:33X and Gen Z?
33:35Millennial, it was.
33:37Next question.
33:38Which game features moves named the Sicilian Defence and...
33:44Siobhan and Ian.
33:45Chess.
33:46Yes.
33:47And the Queen's Gambit.
33:48Siobhan and Ian, you're one correct answer away from unlocking a high-value riddle.
33:53Good luck to both teams.
33:55What item of clothing, with a name derived from Spanish, is a blanket-like clove?
34:03Siobhan and Ian.
34:04Poncho.
34:05With a hole in the centre for the head, the answer is poncho.
34:08Very good.
34:09Right, so here we are.
34:11Siobhan and Ian, you're about to face your £300 riddle.
34:15I might go out at night, but when I'm back, I'll make a point of helping you write.
34:21What am I?
34:23What do you turn out at night?
34:26Turn a lamp out.
34:27Lamp out.
34:27When I'm back, I'll make a point of helping you write.
34:30Well, you can't write in the dark, I suppose.
34:32And I did think...
34:33Actually, no, what I was going to say is silly.
34:35I was going to say a quill.
34:37Maybe an owl quill, but...
34:38I think that's a push, don't you?
34:40Yeah.
34:41I'll make a point.
34:43Point.
34:43Is there something about the point?
34:45A point.
34:46The point of a pen is called a nib.
34:48A nib.
34:48That's nothing to do with going out at night, is it?
34:51I don't think so.
34:52No.
34:53I'll make a point of helping you write.
34:56Inspiration?
34:57Point of something that you write.
34:57You don't lose inspiration at night, though, do you?
34:59A lightbulb is your inspiration.
35:02Lightbulb moment.
35:04Yeah.
35:05That's probably the best we've got.
35:07But is the answer inspiration, or is it...
35:09Lightbulb.
35:09Lightbulb.
35:10Lightbulb, I think.
35:11Let's go with lightbulb.
35:13Right, lock it in, please.
35:14Lightbulb.
35:15Lightbulb.
35:16Have they had a lightbulb moment?
35:17I'm afraid you have not, is the right answer.
35:20Oh, OK.
35:20Daniel and Gaz, there's an opportunity to steal,
35:23but I need your answer for Henry now, please.
35:25Lead.
35:26Lead.
35:27Daniel, why?
35:28Lead.
35:29LED is a type of light,
35:31and you turn the light off at night,
35:33and then we thought lead is something that's inside a pencil,
35:36and it's what you used to write with.
35:38And also, a pencil can be sharp, so the point.
35:41So, LED and lead.
35:42I see where you're going with it.
35:43I'm afraid it's not the right answer.
35:45I've foxed everyone with this.
35:46This is great news again.
35:48Yeah, it's something that goes out at night,
35:49but when I'm back, I'll make a point of helping you write.
35:52So, you're looking for something that was pointed.
35:53You kind of had that with the lead and the LED.
35:55Lots of talk about lighting and stuff.
35:57I quite like owl quill.
35:58That was a good little moment.
35:59But there's a linguistic clue in this that you've all missed.
36:02When I'm back, I'll make a point of helping you write.
36:06So, you're looking for something
36:06that would be something that you put out at night,
36:09but when spelt backwards is something that would help you write.
36:13So, what was the end of a pen that you had?
36:15Oh, nib.
36:16You put the bins out.
36:17You put the bins out, exactly right.
36:18When you remember.
36:19Yeah.
36:19So, the bins go out at night,
36:21and, of course, if you write that backwards,
36:23you get nib, and that's something,
36:24that's a point that helps you write.
36:26Lots of good ideas, but not quite right, I'm afraid.
36:29I did like that in there,
36:30you managed to throw shade at Ian,
36:32failing to put the bins out at home in there.
36:34We're on twice this year already.
36:36The recriminations are beginning, Henry.
36:40So, after that round, congratulations to Daniel and Gaz.
36:45You are through to the final with a prize pot of £1,950.
36:53And, Siobhan and Ian, you had £1,325 in the end.
36:58You played so well, Siobhan and Ian.
37:01You must be pleased with how you've played.
37:03Oh, yeah, we didn't show ourselves up.
37:04Can still go to work tomorrow.
37:06You've done brilliantly well.
37:08Right, so, after the break,
37:09Daniel and Gaz will face Henry's riddle run,
37:11and we'll see how they cope under the spotlight
37:13with all that cash that they've accumulated up for grabs.
37:16But first, Henry, let's have another riddle.
37:18Try this one out for size.
37:20Which question sounds as though it's covering something up
37:22or tiring something out?
37:24I'll give you the answer when we come back.
37:26APPLAUSE
37:37Welcome back.
37:38This is ridiculous.
37:39Now, Henry, you set us another cunning riddle.
37:41Certainly did.
37:42Which question sounds as though it's covering something up
37:45or tiring something out?
37:46Daniel and Gaz, you're our top riddle solvers.
37:48What do you think?
37:49Sorry to let you down.
37:52Maybe it's a mark?
37:53A mark?
37:54A question mark?
37:55I'm covering something up.
37:56I was thinking, like, tip X is not that.
37:58But tiring something out.
37:59Tiring something out, to wear it out.
38:00No.
38:01It's a very short question.
38:02Think of a very short one-word question.
38:04Oh, wear.
38:05Got it?
38:05Wear.
38:06When you wear something out.
38:07It's wear.
38:08Absolutely, yeah.
38:09Covering something up, wearing or tiring something out,
38:11wear, yeah, wear and tear.
38:12Well done.
38:13Very good.
38:14So, Daniel and Gaz, now listen.
38:17Mm-hmm.
38:17When you were in round one, you almost went home.
38:19Yeah, I know.
38:20I really thought it wasn't our day.
38:22Yes, you must have done.
38:23But then something kicked in because you're here in the final.
38:27What changed?
38:28You were almost like, we're the underdog.
38:29We've got to go for it.
38:31Maybe.
38:31I think I realised we needed to be faster on the buzzer
38:34against these two teams who were very, very fast.
38:36Yeah, they were good.
38:37And then, I don't know, maybe my competitiveness kicked in.
38:41Brilliant.
38:41Okay, so, let me just tell you how much you have accrued
38:45in your prize pot.
38:46You've got £1,950.
38:48So, what would that money go on if you managed to take it home?
38:52Probably a holiday.
38:54That would be, I think that would be quite nice.
38:56Maybe like Costa Rica or somewhere like that.
38:59All right, well, we'd love you to get there.
39:00So, to take that money home, you have to face Henry's Riddle Run.
39:04Henry, what exactly is it?
39:06So, in my Riddle Run, you will face puzzles
39:08in which words are represented by combinations of pictures and letters.
39:11They're often known as rebus riddles and the answers are phrases,
39:15sayings or a combination of words that are familiar to all.
39:17Yeah.
39:18So, Daniel and Gaz, the rules are simple.
39:21There are ten riddles in all and you need six correct in 60 seconds
39:29to take home the money that you have built up so far.
39:32If you're not sure about a particular riddle,
39:35you can pass and then it'll just come back later on.
39:39And that's not all.
39:40If you do answer six correctly,
39:43you'll then have the chance to double your winnings
39:46and take home £3,900.
39:50And don't worry, if it all goes wrong,
39:52you'll still go home with our collectible teacop and saucer.
39:56But not the model.
39:57We get to keep him.
39:59First, though, of course, you've got to face Henry's Riddle Run.
40:02Yeah.
40:03Born ready, let's go.
40:04Do it.
40:05OK, here we go.
40:06Henry, over to you.
40:07Good luck, guys.
40:08You've got 60 seconds.
40:09Your time will start as soon as the first riddle is revealed.
40:12Let's play.
40:14Break a leg.
40:15Correct.
40:17Dumb down.
40:18Correct.
40:21Pass.
40:22Is it?
40:25Take that.
40:28You're not all that.
40:29Not this, but that.
40:31No.
40:31Not this, but that.
40:32Pass.
40:32Under that.
40:33Pass.
40:39Politically correct.
40:40Correct.
40:42One horse race, two horse race.
40:46Winning ticket.
40:48Horse ticket, ticket horse.
40:49Pass.
40:51One spit and twice shy.
40:53Correct.
40:55What is that?
40:56Ball.
40:56Eyeball?
40:57Eyeball.
40:57Bullseye.
40:58Correct.
41:01No use crying over spilt milk.
41:03No.
41:03Buckets.
41:04I'm going to have to pass it.
41:05Pass it.
41:05It's come back around.
41:06We're going to get to the others.
41:07Cold shoulder.
41:12I can't believe that.
41:14Then we're out.
41:14I was preparing my sad face.
41:16Really?
41:17I was like, oh no.
41:19What am I going to say now?
41:20You had four seconds left.
41:23Oh, goodness.
41:23And you were on the last one.
41:25You got to the tenth one.
41:26So, yeah, had you passed again, you would have gone back round to the beginning.
41:28You'd have gone on the ones you were stuck on already.
41:30So, it was very, very close.
41:32Right.
41:32We've got all ten riddles to understand now in real time.
41:36Let's go back over them.
41:37Let's have a look.
41:37You got the first two right, though.
41:39Very good start.
41:39That was a good one.
41:40Break a leg, of course.
41:41Yeah.
41:41The second one.
41:42Dumb down.
41:42Very simple.
41:43Yeah.
41:43Dumb written from top to bottom.
41:44This is the...
41:45AU is the atomic number for gold.
41:48So, it's a goldfish.
41:49Yeah, yeah.
41:4979 is the atomic number.
41:50AU, the chemical symbol for gold.
41:52And a fish.
41:53Goldfish.
41:54Well done.
41:54Yeah.
41:54This one, you said, say that or take that.
41:57We're saying that, but for a second time, because the arrow is pointed to the second one, not
42:01to the top one.
42:02Is it like, say it again?
42:03Say it again is very close.
42:05Say that again.
42:05You can say that again, is the phrase.
42:07Yeah, you can say that again.
42:08Very clever.
42:09Yeah.
42:09Tricky one.
42:10You got this one correct.
42:11Politically correct, of course.
42:12All the others marked incorrect.
42:13Politically correct.
42:14Yeah.
42:14Well done.
42:14You did not get this one.
42:16It's a ticket.
42:17And what's the person doing?
42:18Riding a horse.
42:19Riding, yeah.
42:20Oh, a ticket to ride.
42:21Ticket to ride.
42:22Absolutely right.
42:23Ticket to ride.
42:24Yeah, of course.
42:25Once bitten, twice shy, of course.
42:27Once with bite marks and two shies.
42:29Bullseye is the next one.
42:30Yeah, of course.
42:30Lots of bulls making up an eye.
42:32Bullseye.
42:32This one, you didn't get.
42:34One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
42:36And they are all numbers.
42:38Numbers.
42:38And on the left, that is?
42:39A bucket.
42:40Paint.
42:41Paint.
42:41So, therefore...
42:42Painting by numbers.
42:43Paint by numbers.
42:43Paint literally by numbers.
42:45Paint by numbers.
42:47And finally, of course, you got this one absolutely correct.
42:49At the very last minute, four seconds to go.
42:52Cold shoulder.
42:52Well done.
42:53Oh, wow.
42:54Oh, wow.
42:54That was great, actually.
42:56Fantastic work, guys.
42:58Well done, team.
42:59So, you got six riddles correct, which means you've just won £1,950.
43:05Now, you've done so well throughout the whole game.
43:08And, of course, you've now managed to win that great amount of money.
43:12And if that is enough, then we are delighted for you.
43:15And you can finish the game and you can leave with that money.
43:17Or you can choose to face one last riddle.
43:21This time, you'll have just 20 seconds to give one answer.
43:26If you get it right, you will double your winnings and take away £3,900.
43:32But if you can't find the right answer in that time, you'll lose everything and then you'll leave with nothing
43:38apart from, of course, the teacup and saucer and hopefully a good day out.
43:42But what would you like to do?
43:43I'm quite risk averse.
43:45I'd rather take the money.
43:46What are you thinking?
43:47I think, you know, it's quite nice to gamble sometimes.
43:52Stop.
43:52But I think we'll take some money.
43:55I think we'll stop here.
43:57As curious as I am, we'll stop playing here.
44:00Thank you very much for the offer.
44:01But we're not going to gamble, I'm afraid.
44:03Through gritted teeth, Daniel says.
44:06OK, well, Daniel and Gaz, you've made your decision.
44:09You are walking away with £1,950.
44:13Yeah, that's lovely.
44:15Would you like to see it?
44:16No.
44:17No, absolutely.
44:17No, definitely.
44:18Most definitely.
44:19You're not allowed to leave.
44:21Come back.
44:22Come back.
44:23OK.
44:24Henry, what might they have done?
44:26You would have had 20 seconds.
44:28You only had to get one, 20 seconds, but this is it.
44:30See if you would have gone.
44:31I don't want to look at it.
44:34That would have been your final.
44:35I have no idea.
44:37Well, they're all boots.
44:38Say what you think.
44:39Boots, Wellington boots.
44:40Mother T, booty, booty.
44:44Booty?
44:48Cat?
44:48Under the T.
44:49Under cat.
44:50Line T.
44:51Booty line.
44:52Oh, hang on.
44:53Boot cat.
44:53Puss in boots.
44:53Oh, is it Puss in Boots?
44:55Oh, my goodness.
44:56Puss in Boots.
44:57You did get it right.
44:57However, I must tell you, now, I'm impressed, because that is a very, very tricky riddle,
45:03I think.
45:04You very quickly got that they were boots, but you did say Puss in Boots, I think, just
45:07after your 20 seconds.
45:09Well deduced, though, it is a tricky one, cowboy boots, Chelsea boots, Wellington boots, and
45:13of course, cat there, we see the word cat in the middle, so it is Puss in Boots, yeah.
45:18Brilliant, brilliant riddle to end the day on, and you've ended it successfully, which
45:22is a lovely thing.
45:24Fantastic riddle solvers.
45:25Well done, Daniel and Gaz.
45:26It's been a joy to have you on the show.
45:28Thank you, both of you.
45:28Thank you, guys.
45:29Well done.
45:29It's been a lot of fun.
45:30And that's it for today.
45:31Thank you so much, Henry, for your riddles.
45:33They were fantastic today.
