00:18Welcome to Ridiculous, the ridiculously clever show, where three teams of riddle solvers take on our devious riddle master.
00:26Hello, Henry. Hello, Ranvier. I feel like my eyebrows don't do enough work when I say devious.
00:30I'm too devious for my face. You've got to get them up and down at least four or five times.
00:34How are you? I'm very well. How are you? Have you worked hard on some, you know, complicated ones for
00:39today?
00:39There are some absolutely complicated ones. You know, I'm pretty excited and I think you should all be rather concerned.
00:46Yes. But why don't I give you a little flavour of what's to come?
00:49Go on, then. OK, see if we can figure this one out.
00:52What is many days long but doesn't sound strong? What do you think?
00:57I don't know. It's a bit spicy. I have no idea. I'm going to have a think about it.
01:01OK. Let's meet today's teams.
01:05Who's with us today?
01:06I'm Holly. This is my partner, Ben, and we're from Wiltshire.
01:10I'm Stephanie. This is my mum, Jill, and we're from Saddleworth.
01:13I'm Hussain. This is my partner, Alex, and we're from Leicester.
01:15Well, it's lovely to have you all with us this afternoon. Now, welcome to the show.
01:19Did any of you understand the riddle? I mean, it's not for any money and there's no pressure, but Henry.
01:25The riddle is, what is many days long but doesn't sound strong?
01:30Someone's got it. Oh, Jill, you've got it.
01:31A week. A week. Absolutely right. Yes, a week.
01:34Of course, if you're not strong, you are weak, and a week has many days in it.
01:37Very good. Bodes well, Jill.
01:39Strong start, I'd say.
01:41Shall we get on with the show?
01:43Right, so this is how it works.
01:45You're going to face a series of riddles from Henry.
01:48And in order to unlock each riddle, you'll first have to correctly answer three general
01:55knowledge questions.
01:56Now, in this first round, the questions, for me, are worth £25.
02:01Henry, how much are your riddles worth?
02:03Well, in this round, the riddles are simple, so they're just worth £100.
02:06But they're the easiest you're going to face all games, so you don't want to be getting
02:10these ones wrong.
02:10I have to say, though, of course, at the end of this round, we will be saying goodbye
02:15to one of our teams, so every question is important.
02:20OK, hands by the buzzers.
02:22Are you ready?
02:23Yes.
02:24Yes, of course you're ready.
02:25It's time for some general knowledge questions.
02:27Let's play.
02:30Brunch is a combination of lunch and which other daily meal?
02:33Holly and Ben.
02:34Breakfast.
02:35Yes, of course.
02:35An easy one to get you kicked off.
02:37£25 in the prize pot.
02:39Which suit in a deck of playing cards is also the title of a number one single by Rihanna?
02:46Hussain and Alex.
02:47Diamonds.
02:48Yes, lovely stuff.
02:50Bangkok is the capital of which Asian country?
02:53Hussain and Alex.
02:54Thailand.
02:55Indeed it is.
02:56Another £25 to you.
02:58And also, you're already just one correct answer away from facing Henry.
03:02What word can follow heavy, light and feather in the names of three boxing?
03:07Stephanie and Jill.
03:08Wait.
03:09Yes, exactly.
03:10So, what word can follow heavy, light and feather in the names of three boxing divisions?
03:15It is, of course, weight.
03:17In which Netflix romantic comedy drama series does Lily Collins play an American woman living
03:22and working?
03:23Stephanie and Jill.
03:25Emily in Paris.
03:25Yes, it is.
03:26She's working in France, of course.
03:28Brilliant stuff.
03:29OK, so Stephanie and Jill and Hussain and Alex, just one question away from facing your
03:34first riddle.
03:35How many musicians are there in a quintet?
03:39Stephanie and Jill.
03:40Five.
03:40Yes, it was a question of speed, wasn't it, to the buzzer there?
03:43You all knew the answer, of course.
03:44Well, well done.
03:45Stephanie and Jill, you are the first team to unlock a riddle.
03:48Welcome to the show properly.
03:50When we say mum and daughters can be close, you two are the sort of pinnacle of that,
03:54aren't you?
03:54You are really best friends.
03:56We are, absolutely.
03:57They're for each other all the time.
03:59We tell each other everything and we live together because we love it so much.
04:02That is so gorgeous, actually, and you're very competitive, I understand.
04:07So when we play games at home, board games, depending on who wins, there might be a level
04:13of sulking, of not talking.
04:16Yes, it gets very heated.
04:18I love it.
04:19Well, listen, be careful, Henry.
04:22Absolutely.
04:23We don't want any sulking.
04:24I know, there won't be any sulking here.
04:26Can I just remind you, of course, that should you need it, you do have access to a clue from
04:31Henry for the riddles, but you only get one throughout the game.
04:34So just, you know, think carefully about when you want to use it, of course.
04:37OK, off we go.
04:37First riddle of the game.
04:39I'm a bird to make your blood run cold.
04:42I resemble a human, but only just beneath my clothes I'm actually stuffed.
04:48What am I?
04:49Is it an owl?
04:50An owl or a bird?
04:52A eagle.
04:54Stuffed eagles.
04:55I don't know whether it's just a swallow.
04:57Not sure.
04:58Are you just going through birds, you know?
05:00Yeah, she's just going through birds.
05:02She's a random bird.
05:03Either of you ornithologists?
05:05It would help at this stage, I imagine.
05:08Don't know what she would go for.
05:10Swallow, maybe?
05:11Yeah, let's just go for that.
05:12I don't know.
05:13Let's go for swallow.
05:14Locking in, swallow.
05:15Yeah.
05:16What's your thinking behind swallow?
05:18Not sure, really.
05:19I think I resemble a human, knowing that humans swallow.
05:22Does nothing else swallow?
05:25That's all we've got.
05:26No, this has stumped us, this one.
05:29I'm afraid swallow is not the right answer.
05:31I think you already knew that, probably.
05:33Now, there's no money in it.
05:34You can't steal in this round.
05:36But do either of the teams have any idea what it might be?
05:39Oh, Hussain.
05:40Goose bumps?
05:42Goose?
05:42Because it makes your blood run cold, then.
05:45I see.
05:45Yeah.
05:46No, it's a nice idea.
05:47I'm afraid it's not the right answer.
05:48Holly in bed, do you have any ideas?
05:50No.
05:50No, nothing at all.
05:51Well, it's been lovely to know you.
05:52Off you go home.
05:53No, I'm only joking.
05:54I'm only joking, carry on.
05:55I'm absolutely thrilled that I've stumped everyone on the first riddle of the show.
06:00This is very good news.
06:01I've got the upper hand.
06:03Superb.
06:04All right, stop milking it.
06:05Come on.
06:05So, OK, we've got to find something that ties all these things together.
06:08So, I mean, looking at something that is human-shaped, but is actually stuffed.
06:13You might find it outdoors, though, maybe in a field.
06:16Scarecrow?
06:16A scarecrow, Stephanie, is the right answer.
06:20Yeah, of course, a bird.
06:21Something that might make your blood run cold.
06:23It might scare you.
06:24Scarecrow resembles a human.
06:26That's the whole point.
06:26Scare off birds.
06:27But, of course, beneath my clothes, I'm actually stuffed, because a scarecrow is obviously
06:30made of clothes, stuffed with straw or hay.
06:32Some good ideas, but I think I won that one.
06:37I think we ought to gloss over that.
06:38Shall we pretend that never happened, people?
06:40Let's move on.
06:41Right, time for more general knowledge.
06:42Hands by the buzzers.
06:43Good luck.
06:44What is the typical colour of the flowers of a buttercup?
06:48Stephanie and Jill.
06:50Yellow.
06:50Indeed.
06:52£25.
06:53Well done.
06:54Which TV chef published the 2010 recipe book of 30-minute meals?
07:00Hussain and Alex.
07:02Nigel Slater.
07:03No, you're wrong.
07:04Which TV chef published the 2010 recipe book?
07:08Stephanie and Jill.
07:09Jamie Oliver.
07:09Yes, it is.
07:10Of course, he's famous for those 30-minute meals.
07:12Well done.
07:13One away from facing the next riddle.
07:14Whether or not you want to do that, I don't know at this stage.
07:18Which British athlete won gold in both the men's 5,000 and 10,000...
07:25Hussain and Alex.
07:27Mo Farah.
07:28Yes.
07:29The brilliant Mo.
07:30We love him.
07:30The men's 5,000, 10,000-metre races at the London 2012 Olympics and again at Rio in 2016.
07:37Well done.
07:38Next question.
07:39A person with arachnophobia is scared of what type of animals?
07:44Stephanie and Jill.
07:45Spiders.
07:45Yes.
07:46I'm one of those people, I'm afraid to say.
07:48Brilliant stuff.
07:49OK.
07:49So, here we are again.
07:51You know how devious he is?
07:53Yes.
07:53Wipe that smile off his face.
07:55We'll try.
07:57Very good general knowledge.
07:58Take two on the riddles.
07:59Here we go.
08:00I'm always sticky all around your teeth.
08:03What am I?
08:05Gum.
08:05Yeah, because gum is all around your teeth.
08:07And when you have chewing gum, it's sticky.
08:10Yeah.
08:10So, gum?
08:10Gum.
08:11Fat answer, gum.
08:12A bit more confident this time?
08:14A little bit.
08:16You're right to be.
08:17Gum is the right answer.
08:18Of course, yeah, absolutely.
08:20If something's sticky, it's gummy, or like a gum envelope, or chewing gum, as you said.
08:23And, of course, around your teeth, you have your gums.
08:25Well done.
08:26Right, very good.
08:26That's £100 to Stephanie and Jill.
08:29Two more riddles to go.
08:30Plenty of questions.
08:31Good luck.
08:32Here we go.
08:33Adapted into a film in 2021, which sci-fi novel is primarily set on the desert planet of Arrakis?
08:42Hussain and Alex.
08:43June?
08:43Yes, correct.
08:44Well done.
08:46The Biblical Miracle, the feeding of the 5,000, involves five loaves and two what?
08:54Stephanie and Jill?
08:55Fishes.
08:55Yes, correct.
08:56Well done.
08:58Bullring and Grand Central is a shopping centre.
09:02Stephanie and Jill?
09:03Birmingham.
09:03Yes.
09:04Is a shopping centre in which city in the Midlands?
09:08OK, one away, Stephanie and Jill, from facing your third riddle.
09:11In the title of a children's book by Judith Carr, what species of big cat came to tea?
09:18Holly and Ben?
09:19Tiger.
09:20Yes, and you work with kids.
09:22So that is a good one for you.
09:23Well done, you.
09:24The tiger who came to tea, of course, very famous.
09:27Which form of optical fashion accessory is most commonly associated with the brand Ray-Ban?
09:33Stephanie and Jill?
09:34Sunglasses.
09:35Yes, correct.
09:36Well done.
09:36Right, here we are again.
09:38So, another riddle on its way.
09:40Here we are again.
09:41Will you get this one?
09:42Let's see.
09:43I have lots of limbs, but I never walk.
09:46If you saw me, I'd probably fall over.
09:49What am I?
09:50So, if you saw me, is it saw as in the tool saw, rather than...
09:55Oh, OK.
09:55So, if you saw me...
09:58Is it something like in a tree?
09:59Is that they called limbs?
10:01Lots of limbs, but I never walk.
10:02If you saw me...
10:03So, is it a tree?
10:04It might be a tree.
10:05Because if you saw me, it would fall over.
10:06Yeah.
10:07Shall we do tree?
10:08I think we go that.
10:08Yeah, I think we go that.
10:09Final answer, tree.
10:10You're locking in tree?
10:11Yeah.
10:14It's the right answer.
10:15Well done, tree.
10:16Yeah, absolutely.
10:17Branches of a tree.
10:18Yeah, they'd be limbs.
10:18Yeah, absolutely.
10:19And the key bit that you did very well to get there, Jill, was, yeah, sawing, right?
10:24Yeah.
10:25Soar as in cut, not as in see.
10:27Absolutely right.
10:27Well done, tree.
10:28Can you tell that Stephanie used to be a detective constable, didn't you?
10:32Can you see how she forensically went through that?
10:35Yeah, incredible.
10:36Yeah, that's very good.
10:37Exactly, you did.
10:37I loved that.
10:38It was logical thinking.
10:40Those are transferable skills to ridiculous, it turns out.
10:43Who knew?
10:43Who knew?
10:44Well done.
10:45Plus £100.
10:46Brilliant stuff.
10:48OK, we've got one more riddle left in this round.
10:52Good luck to all of you.
10:53Here we go.
10:54Often served with Indian food, which light and fluffy flatbread typically has?
10:59Stephanie and Jill.
11:00Numbred.
11:00Yes, indeed.
11:01Has varieties including garlic, geema and pashwari.
11:04Well done.
11:05Who held the office of President of the United States between George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush?
11:16Hussain and Alex.
11:17Bill Clinton.
11:18Correct.
11:18Well done.
11:20According to tradition, the monarch of the UK retains the right to claim ownership of any unmarked specimens
11:29of which wild bird swimming in open, Hussain and Alex?
11:34Swan.
11:35Yes, well done.
11:37In open waters.
11:38The bird one wasn't your strong point anyway, Stephanie and Jill, was it?
11:41We know that from history.
11:43Yes.
11:44OK, well done.
11:45Hussain and Alex, you are just one correct answer away from unlocking your first riddle of the game.
11:49Good luck.
11:50What does the D stand for in the school subject CDT?
11:56Holly and Ben.
11:58Design.
11:58Yes, well done.
12:01In Coronation Street, which butcher was played by John Savadant?
12:06Stephanie and Jill.
12:07Fred Elliot.
12:08Yes, Fred Elliot.
12:09Classic, classic character.
12:12How many legs are depicted on the flag of the Isle of Man?
12:17Holly and Ben.
12:18Three.
12:19Correct.
12:21Now, I'm excited because this now means for the first time in the game,
12:25all three of you are on the cusp of unlocking the next riddle.
12:29Good luck, a lot riding on this next question.
12:32Which range of toys originally released in 1984 has characters divided into factions of Autobots and...
12:42Hussain and Alex?
12:43Transformers.
12:44Yes.
12:45And Decepticons, that was the end of the question, but you're absolutely right, Transformers it is.
12:49Well done.
12:50Hussain and Alex, congratulations.
12:52You've unlocked your first riddle.
12:54Tell me a bit about your relationship.
12:55We met five years ago on a comedy course and then we've been together ever since, yeah.
13:01Do you gig in comedy venues and...?
13:03Yeah, we gig around the UK.
13:05God, that takes some guts, doesn't it?
13:07That's amazing.
13:08Now, might I just put the cat amongst the pigeons and ask who's funnier?
13:11She is.
13:13Alex doesn't seem to be disagreeing with you.
13:15She's like, indeed, I am funnier.
13:17Brilliant stuff.
13:18Well, I can't wait to hear a bit more about that.
13:20But, of course, you've got the important work ahead of you.
13:22This next riddle, good luck.
13:23Here we go.
13:24So, I'm incredibly strange and rather bizarre, but mess around with my insides and I'll be absolutely wired.
13:32What am I?
13:34What's bizarre and strange besides us?
13:37But mess around with my insides and I'll be absolutely wired.
13:42Wired, coffee, energised, inside.
13:46I was thinking about plug.
13:48Plug.
13:48I'm incredibly strange and rather bizarre.
13:51Coffee is not bizarre and strange.
13:52I'm incredibly strange.
13:53And what insides we'd mess with?
13:55Don't forget, you have got access to a clue if you wanted it.
13:59Yeah, let's use a clue, yeah.
14:01Is that way too difficult for a beginning?
14:03Yes, well, don't complain to me.
14:06It's the riddle master.
14:08Too difficult, says Alex.
14:10Tricky ones, yeah, yeah.
14:10I've stuck some tricky ones in.
14:12Your clue is, my partner is often wonderful.
14:15Thanks, Henry, but what's the clue?
14:18No, I don't know.
14:20Plug.
14:20I'm not one.
14:21Absolutely one.
14:22But you know those plugs, like, what do you think?
14:24OK, plug.
14:26You're going with plug.
14:27Yeah, we haven't got anything, sir.
14:29OK.
14:29Plug.
14:32It's the wrong answer.
14:34Oh.
14:34Sorry, I think you knew that anyway.
14:36It was a bit of a guess, really, wasn't it?
14:37Plug.
14:37Did anybody else have a sense of what it was?
14:39Both teams.
14:40Holly, yeah.
14:41I think it was weird.
14:42Weird.
14:43Why do you think it was weird, Holly?
14:44Because if you rearrange wired spelling...
14:47Oh, my God.
14:48And it makes weird.
14:50Yeah, absolutely.
14:51And, of course, weird is strange, weird is bizarre,
14:53weird and wonderful with the clue as well.
14:55And, yeah, the bit that you...
14:57I think you missed there is a mess around with my insides.
14:59That indicates that we're talking about an anagram, right?
15:01So you take wired and the insides of the word wired, I-R-E.
15:05If you mess around with those, you get weird.
15:07Yeah.
15:08It's a clever one, isn't it?
15:09I love it.
15:10Sorry to say, though, Hussein and Alex, of course,
15:12you didn't win any money on that final riddle of round one.
15:16So, teams, at the end of that round, let me bring you up to date.
15:19Stephanie and Jill have £475.
15:22Hussein and Alex have £175.
15:26And Holly and Ben have £100,
15:29which, sadly, means we have to say goodbye to you
15:31at this very early stage.
15:33Ben, tell us what you do for a living.
15:35You're a couple, aren't you?
15:36Yeah.
15:37So I've just graduated from a journalism degree.
15:40What's your headline for how you've done today?
15:42Watch a couple failed miserably.
15:45Ah!
15:46But it's the taking part that counts.
15:48Shush, Jill, don't you say a word.
15:49It is the taking part that counts.
15:51And we love you for it.
15:53And good luck with everything you do, you two.
15:55You're a lovely couple.
15:55Holly and Ben, thank you so much.
15:57And that is it for part one.
15:59Henry, now, those were quite tricky.
16:02A slightly easier one for the break.
16:03How about that?
16:04OK, see if you can get this one.
16:05Which fruit really sucks?
16:07Simple one.
16:08Which fruit really sucks?
16:10See if you can figure that one out before we come back.
16:14APPLAUSE
16:23Welcome back.
16:24Now, before the break, Henry set you a riddle.
16:26How did you do?
16:27Let's find out.
16:28I asked which fruit really sucks.
16:31Any ideas?
16:32Yeah, Stephanie, you got it.
16:33I think it's a lemon.
16:34I'm afraid a lemon isn't right.
16:36Why did you take lemon?
16:37Oh, no.
16:37Because I think when you say you can suck a lemon.
16:39Oh, I see the phrase, suck a lemon.
16:41Yeah.
16:41The correct answer is strawberry, because a strawberry has a straw in it.
16:45Oh, yeah.
16:46Here we go.
16:47Right.
16:47Well done.
16:48You managed to get through round one, and you're still here.
16:51So, Hussain and Alex, you're on £175.
16:54Stephanie and Jill, you're on £475.
16:57But in this round, correct general knowledge answers are now worth £50,
17:02so you can see how your scores can really go up.
17:05And once again, of course, you do need three correct answers to unlock a riddle.
17:08And those riddles are quite different as well.
17:10Henry, would you explain?
17:12Of course, yeah.
17:12So, in this round, you're going to be facing visual riddles.
17:15So, as you might expect, they contain pictures, but also numbers, shapes and words.
17:19They're a little bit trickier than the ones you face in the first round,
17:21but if you get them right, they're worth £200 each.
17:23Only one member of each team will be able to answer,
17:27and you'll have just 60 seconds to get it right.
17:31And in this round, if you get the riddle wrong,
17:34then it will be offered to the opposing team for a steal.
17:38Of course, to get there, you've got to answer some more general knowledge.
17:40Questions, are you ready?
17:42We are.
17:42Hands by the buzzers.
17:44Let's play.
17:46Matcha is a powdered variety of what drink typically served hot?
17:52Hussain and Alex.
17:53Tea.
17:54Yes, matcha tea.
17:55Green tea, of course.
17:56That's the first £50 of the round to you.
17:59The football highlight series match of the day
18:01is usually broadcast on which day of the week?
18:04Stephanie and Jill.
18:05Saturday.
18:06Yes, very good.
18:09The Bear and the Hare.
18:11Monty the Penguin.
18:12And The Man on the Moon are the titles of three Christmas adverts.
18:18Stephanie and Jill.
18:20John Lewis.
18:20Yes.
18:21Promoting which department store chain?
18:23Well done.
18:24One correct answer away from facing our first tricky visual riddle.
18:30The feet of which bird give their name to small wrinkles
18:33that form on the outer corner of the human eye?
18:37Stephanie and Jill.
18:38Crow.
18:38Yes, you got that bird one right.
18:40Good.
18:41You've redeemed yourself, I'd say.
18:43Yes, well done.
18:44They've only sent that one closer back, aren't they?
18:46Very good.
18:47Well, you've done it.
18:48You've got £625 in your prize pot,
18:50but now, of course, you've got a couple of big decisions to make, OK?
18:54So, as you know, only one person can face this riddle.
18:58So, do you want to have a look at the categories?
19:00Because it might help.
19:01We have pictures, animals and shapes.
19:05Do you want to do animals?
19:06Yeah.
19:06Shall I take pictures?
19:08Well, you do pictures first, then, if you'd like.
19:11No, you do animals first.
19:12OK.
19:13I think I'll pick animals and go first.
19:15Is that how Mum just tells you, does she?
19:17Not really, yeah.
19:17Yes, she's volunteered you there.
19:19OK, Jill, if you take a step back.
19:22So, you have chosen animals.
19:24Stephanie, good luck.
19:25Henry, over to you.
19:26Good luck indeed.
19:2760 seconds, Stephanie, to give me a correct answer
19:29after I've read the riddle that goes with this picture.
19:32Which of these party-goers is the odd one out?
19:35Your time starts now.
19:37Which of these party-goers is the odd one out?
19:40Fox.
19:41Gem.
19:42Squirrel.
19:46Party-goers.
19:50Can't see anything obvious yet.
19:55It's a mole.
19:56Badger.
19:58Fox.
19:59Lion.
20:01Squirrel.
20:03It's the odd one out.
20:05You've got 30 seconds left.
20:12Hmm.
20:13I can't, yeah, I can't see anything obvious yet.
20:17Just trying to think about if it's to do with...
20:21You've got 15 seconds left.
20:23Start thinking of locking in an answer.
20:24Mm-hmm.
20:28I'm going to say fox.
20:30OK.
20:31You're locked in fox?
20:32Yeah.
20:33It's wrong.
20:33OK, so, Hussain and Alex, in order to steal for half the value,
20:37what's your answer?
20:38Squirrel.
20:39Squirrel, Hussain, why?
20:40Because it has more letters than the other ones.
20:43The other ones have odd-numbered letters,
20:46so I think fox, three.
20:47Tiger, five.
20:49Bison, five.
20:50I think squirrel is six.
20:53It's seven.
20:54Oh, no, seven, no.
20:55Yeah.
20:55Squirrel is the wrong answer, I'm afraid.
20:57Nothing to do with numbers of letters.
20:58Squirrel actually eight letters.
20:59OK.
21:00But there are different ones.
21:01I mean, tiger is five, mole is four.
21:02There's no particular system with the letters.
21:04None of you have really looked at the things that they're wearing,
21:06which is the big clue in this.
21:08What's the mole wearing?
21:10Glass.
21:10A monocle.
21:11A monocle, absolutely right.
21:12So, using the fact that the mole is wearing a monocle,
21:15what does that give you that might help you solve this?
21:18Oh, the two M's.
21:20Tiger and tiara.
21:21So, which one do you think?
21:22Oh, camel and cash.
21:23Or chain, yeah.
21:24Oh, chain, yeah.
21:26The badger and the hat.
21:27Badger is right, absolutely, yeah.
21:28Badger in the hat or top hat.
21:30Yeah, all the others, they're alliterative, right?
21:32The item of clothing begins with the same letter as the animal does.
21:35So, a bison in a bonnet, a squirrel in a shawl,
21:37a camel in a chain, a tiger in a tiara,
21:39fox in a fascinator, and a mole in a monocle.
21:42Now, the only one that doesn't work is the badger in the top hat.
21:44It's a tricky, tricky riddle.
21:47Very sneaky.
21:47You got there in the end, but with quite a lot of help.
21:49Well done, Henry.
21:50Well done, you.
21:52Terrible shame for us over here, I'd have to say.
21:55OK, hands by the buzzers.
21:56Here we go.
21:56In February 2014, Facebook, now Meta, acquired which popular...
22:03Hussain and Alex?
22:04Instagram.
22:05Incorrect.
22:06Which popular messaging app?
22:09Stephanie and Jill?
22:11What's that?
22:11It did, indeed.
22:13Next question.
22:15La Torre Pendente di Pisa is the Italian name for which landmark?
22:20Stephanie and Jill?
22:21Leaning Tower of Pisa?
22:22Yes, indeed, it is.
22:23Well done.
22:24Again, just one correct answer away now from facing the next riddle.
22:29Which comedy duo performed the famous sketch known as Four Candles?
22:34Stephanie and Jill.
22:35The two runnies?
22:36Yes.
22:36Just saying it makes me laugh.
22:38It's just, it's all there, isn't it?
22:40It just makes you giggle so much.
22:41Well done.
22:42Right, so, brilliant stuff.
22:43Here we are again.
22:44You made a really quick work of that round, didn't you, there?
22:46You're back again.
22:48Please don't let there be any animals in this one.
22:50I know.
22:50We've done animals.
22:51So, you've got to choose a category.
22:54Pictures and shapes.
22:55I think you try pictures, yeah.
22:57You're good at pictures.
22:58It's your category.
22:58Yeah.
22:59We'll go for pictures.
23:00And, Jill, is it you?
23:01It is.
23:02All right.
23:02Step forward and Stephanie step back.
23:04You've still got your clue.
23:06Pictures it is, Henry.
23:07Thank you, Rambi.
23:07OK, same deal.
23:08Jill, 60 seconds to give me a correct answer.
23:10Your time will start as soon as I've read the riddle that goes with this.
23:14Which singer is this?
23:16Your time starts now.
23:16So, what's that suit?
23:22Silk.
23:27Is it hawk?
23:32Is it...
23:33Waist coat material?
23:40Silk.
23:41Silk hawk.
23:46You've got 30 seconds left.
23:52Is it an eagle?
23:55Is it...
23:57Eagle.
24:03Silk stitch.
24:06Please go.
24:07Ten seconds left.
24:08Please lock in an answer if you can.
24:13Take an answer if you've got one.
24:14I have no idea.
24:16No idea.
24:16No.
24:17Sorry.
24:18Right.
24:18That's over.
24:20So, Hussain and Alex, you've got a chance to steal.
24:23What's your answer?
24:25Taylor Swift.
24:27Taylor Swift.
24:28Swift is the right answer.
24:30Taylor.
24:31Of course, both being tailored.
24:32Swift.
24:33You were one kind of eagles and hawks.
24:35Yes, I was.
24:36If only you had a scarecrow to scare them away.
24:39To be fair, I love silk eagles back catalogue.
24:41I'm not going to lie.
24:42I love silk eagle.
24:44But anyway, well done.
24:45Brilliant steal there from Hussain.
24:47And Alex, that's £100 to you.
24:49We've got one more visual riddle left in this round.
24:52Good luck to both of you.
24:53Hands by the buzzers.
24:54Here we go.
24:54What fruit stuck on a skewer and dipped in toffee is traditionally eaten at Halloween?
25:00Stephanie and Jill.
25:01Apple.
25:02Yes, and on bonfire night, of course.
25:04Lovely.
25:05The British archaeological scholar and military strategist T.E. Lawrence is more commonly referred
25:11to by the nickname Lawrence of Ware.
25:15Stephanie and Jill.
25:16Arabia?
25:17Correct.
25:18Lawrence of Arabia.
25:18Well done.
25:20One more correct answer and you'll have your final category.
25:24In English, which month of the year has the shortest name?
25:29Stephanie and Jill.
25:30May.
25:31Correct.
25:32OK, so here we are again.
25:34Well done.
25:35That's £50 in the prize pot.
25:37But now, of course, you've taken one each so far.
25:41Let's take a look at what's left.
25:43Shapes.
25:43You try it.
25:44OK.
25:44Yeah, you go for it.
25:45Even though we said you would do shapes.
25:48I will do shapes.
25:51Jill, off you go.
25:53Shapes it is.
25:54Good luck.
25:54Once again, Stephanie, 60 seconds to give me a correct answer after I've finished.
25:58Reading the riddle that goes with this.
26:00Which shape should appear on the final pillar?
26:03Your time starts now.
26:14So, I'm looking at...
26:18First, I thought it was card suits on them.
26:22Like, that looks like a club.
26:27I'm trying to think if it's...
26:35Final pillar.
26:38I can't see anything obvious.
26:44You've got 20 seconds left.
26:46Oh, um...
26:48I think...
26:50I think they might be mirror images of each other.
26:52Quick, quick.
26:53Numbers.
26:54Ten seconds left.
26:56So, I think it should be C.
27:01C.
27:02You're lucky in C.
27:03Oh, no, it's not.
27:05I'm afraid C is the wrong answer.
27:08OK.
27:08Hussain and Alex, could you steal it for half the value?
27:11It's B, because it's the opposites of one, opposites of two, opposites of three.
27:16And then the next one should be opposites of four, which is B.
27:20B is the right answer.
27:22Well done.
27:23Oh, it was unlucky, Stephanie, because I think you got close there, but you said the wrong
27:25one, locked in the wrong one, unfortunately.
27:27Yeah, I realised they were then going in numerical order.
27:28So, absolutely.
27:29Each of these is the number and also the mirror image of the number.
27:34That's brilliant.
27:34Well done, Hussain.
27:35I did not have a clue.
27:36Brilliant work.
27:37Well done.
27:37So, that is a steal for £100, Hussain and Alex.
27:41Very well done.
27:43So, teams, at the end of that visual round, let's take a look at the scores.
27:48Stephanie and Jill have £925.
27:51Hussain and Alex have £425.
27:54But all of that can change really quickly in the next round.
27:58So, hold your nerve.
28:00There's plenty more to go.
28:01So, it is time for a break, I'm afraid, because I just, I found that last one, Henry, bamboozling.
28:07I really did.
28:08Yeah, yeah, tricky.
28:09Very visual, that one, yeah.
28:11Shall we have another one?
28:12A woman out for a walk crossed a full river without a boat, a bridge or stepping stones,
28:17yet she still stayed dry.
28:19How did she do it?
28:21I'll give you the answer after the break.
28:34Welcome back to Ridiculous,
28:35the Ridiculously Clever and Brain-Teasing Show.
28:39Now, your brain was teased over the break by our Henry.
28:42It certainly was.
28:43Before the break, I asked,
28:45a woman out for a walk crossed a full river without a boat, a bridge or stepping stones,
28:49yet she still stayed dry.
28:51How did she do it?
28:52Stephanie, Jill, Hussain, Alex, how did she do it?
28:55Did she fly?
28:57She didn't fly, she walked.
28:58She walked across.
29:00There was no sort of hoverboard involved.
29:04She had waterproof shoes.
29:06Swimming suit.
29:08Swimsuit?
29:08You'd still be wet in a swimsuit, though.
29:10Waterproof shoes, depending on, if it was a deep river, I think you'd still be quite wet.
29:15Ranvira, any ideas?
29:16No, she was shot out of a cannonball thing.
29:20No, again, she did walk.
29:21She wasn't.
29:23We all appear to be missing the fact that this woman walked.
29:25Who is this great creature?
29:27Oh, was she on the zipline?
29:29A zipline.
29:30No, she walked.
29:32There's a lot of great alternatives.
29:34She walked across.
29:35And the answer is the river was frozen.
29:39Oh.
29:40That's how, yeah, yeah.
29:40That's such a boring answer.
29:42I know, I know.
29:42I think we had really good answers.
29:44Zipline, cannon.
29:45I think our answers are better than yours.
29:48Fair enough, fair enough.
29:49Right, teams, this is where the competition gets serious, because now the team with the
29:55highest prize pot at the end of this round will be going through to the final to face
30:00Henry's riddle run.
30:03So this time, the questions from me are worth £100, and the riddles have shot up in value,
30:10haven't they, Henry?
30:11They certainly have.
30:12So this is the deciding round.
30:13They're the hardest riddles that you've faced yet, but if you get them right, they're worth
30:18£300 each.
30:19And, of course, the steal would be £150, so you can see how the money can change hands
30:23really quickly here.
30:24OK, here we go.
30:26Hands by the buzzers.
30:27Let's play.
30:30What first name has been used by the cricketer Andrew Flintoff and the Queen singer Faruk
30:37Bulsara?
30:38Stephanie and Jill.
30:40Freddie?
30:40Yes, indeed, Freddie.
30:42Faruk Bulsara was the birth name of Freddie Mercury.
30:45The Italian BMT and meatball marinara are sandwiches made by which fast food chain?
30:52Stephanie and Jill?
30:53Subway.
30:54Indeed they are.
30:55Well done.
30:56Another £100 to Stephanie and Jill, one away from unlocking the next riddle.
31:02In 2012, the Channel 4 comedy panel series, 8 Out of 10 Cats, crossed over with which other
31:09game show?
31:10Stephanie and Jill.
31:11Countdown.
31:11Yes, it did, didn't it?
31:12Yeah, brilliant stuff.
31:14OK, my goodness.
31:15I'll be saying an Alex, they're fast, aren't they?
31:17Yeah, they are.
31:18Of course, that means you've unlocked this next riddle.
31:21So, as you know, there's a lot riding on it.
31:23They're really valuable ones.
31:24So, Henry, what have you got?
31:26Good luck.
31:26Hopefully no scarecrows involved.
31:29If 5 has 4, 10 has 3 and 15 has 7, how many does 20 have?
31:35I think it's the letters, do you?
31:37I do, yeah.
31:38So, 5 has 4 letters, 10 has 3 letters.
31:41Yeah, 15, 4, 5, 6, 7.
31:43So, 20 would be 6.
31:441, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, yeah.
31:46I think that's right.
31:47I'm confident.
31:49Yes.
31:49Yeah.
31:50OK, we're going to lock in 6.
31:54It's the right answer.
31:55Well done.
31:566, absolutely.
31:57Oh, my goodness.
31:58You found the easy riddles hard and the hard riddles easy.
32:026, very swiftly done.
32:03Yeah, absolutely right.
32:04All to do with the number of letters in the word.
32:06And there are 6 letters in 20.
32:09Yes, and a good number for you is 300.
32:10You get £300 in your prize pot.
32:13Well done.
32:14OK, next question.
32:16What are drivers required to read from a distance before they start?
32:20Stephanie and Jill.
32:22A number play.
32:22Correct.
32:23Before they start their driving test in order to test their eyesight.
32:27The title of which Shakespeare play is a term for a violent, windy storm.
32:33Stephanie and Jill.
32:34The Tempest.
32:35Indeed it is.
32:36Well done.
32:37OK, one away from unlocking the next riddle in this round.
32:40In the DC Cinematic Universe, which superhero is played by Jason Momoa?
32:47Hussein and Alex.
32:48Aquaman.
32:49Yes, well done.
32:51Here we go.
32:52In Hinduism, the god Ganesh is depicted with the head of which large mammal?
32:58Hussein and Alex.
32:59Elephant.
32:59Yes, well done.
33:00In 2018, which former Manchester United footballer became a co-owner of the major league soccer team Inter Miami CF?
33:12Hussein and Alex.
33:13Hussein and Alex.
33:14Um, David Beckham.
33:15Yes.
33:15Well done.
33:16Brilliant stuff.
33:17Here we are.
33:18You've unlocked a high-value riddle.
33:21OK, here we go.
33:51I'm a little fly-by-night.
33:51Bad.
33:53Which one is it?
33:54A real flap.
33:54Flap, flapping.
33:56Say something.
33:57The owl gets flappy, like it flaps around, you know?
34:00OK.
34:00In a real flap.
34:01Yeah, it doesn't look very well.
34:02What am I?
34:02And it's quite small.
34:04OK, let's just...
34:05Owl's a better bet, probably.
34:07Owl.
34:08Yeah.
34:08OK, let's try that.
34:09OK.
34:10You're locking in owl.
34:11Yeah, final answer, owl.
34:14I'm afraid it's the wrong answer.
34:15OK, so, Stephanie and Jill, you have the same amount of time.
34:18What's your answer for Henry?
34:20We couldn't get this one either.
34:22OK.
34:23We said bat, didn't we?
34:24Yeah.
34:24Bat.
34:25Lock in bat.
34:27Bat, but it's a bit of a guess.
34:28Yeah.
34:30It's the right answer.
34:31Oh!
34:31Bat is right.
34:33You guys talked about owl and bat.
34:35You had it down to two options, but you chose the wrong one, I'm afraid.
34:38We're talking about something that doesn't look very well,
34:40but you were sort of thinking about that as appearance.
34:43You suggested that owls didn't look very nice.
34:45I'm sure any owls watching will be furious.
34:47But bats don't look very well, of course, because they can't see.
34:50They find their way through echolocation.
34:52You stole a couple off Stephanie and Jill in the last round.
34:55It's time for revenge, isn't it, really?
34:57Well done.
34:58Stephanie and Jill, that's £150 to you.
35:00Great steal.
35:01OK, we have one more riddle left in this round.
35:04Let's keep playing.
35:06New Moon is the sequel to which, Stephanie and Jill?
35:09Twilight.
35:10Yes, well done.
35:12New Moon is the sequel to which 2005 novel by Stephanie Mayer?
35:16Twilight.
35:17Here we go.
35:17Next question.
35:18In which tabletop game do players take it in turns
35:22to place various objects on the saddle of a plastic mule without making it kick?
35:28Stephanie and Jill?
35:29Bookeroo.
35:30Yes, indeed.
35:31Well done.
35:32One away from unlocking the final riddle in this round.
35:36Which decade of the 20th century is often referred to as swinging?
35:41Stephanie and Jill?
35:4260s.
35:43Yes, swinging 60s, of course.
35:46OK, so get your own riddle this time.
35:48It's all yours for the taking.
35:50Here we go.
35:51I'm a noise uttered in despair that sounds like I've increased in volume over time.
35:57What am I?
35:58Is it a last chance to use a clue?
35:59It is.
36:00Yeah, shall we use the clue?
36:01Yeah.
36:02Use the clue, please.
36:03The clue is, the answer might make you do this.
36:06Is it groan?
36:08I thought about groan.
36:10Like a noise in despair is a groan.
36:13I've increased in volume.
36:15I've increased in volume over time.
36:16I've groan.
36:17So we've got groan as in the noise that you utter in despair.
36:22But then if you increase, you grow.
36:24I think that's our test.
36:25What am I?
36:26A groan?
36:27Yeah, should we lock that in?
36:28Final answer, groan.
36:29You've locked in groan?
36:30Mm-hm.
36:33Well, you won't be groaning because that is the right answer.
36:36Well done.
36:37Absolutely right, yeah.
36:38You got the first bit very, very quickly.
36:40OK, noise uttered in despair, groan.
36:42And then, yes, you correctly realised groan grows over time.
36:45It increases in volume, right?
36:46Yeah.
36:46It grows in size.
36:47Yes.
36:48OK, very good.
36:49That's another £300 into your prize pot.
36:53Thank you so much, Henry.
36:55Well, after that round, congratulations, Stephanie and Jill.
36:59You are through to the final with a prize pot of £2,475.
37:05Alex and Hussain, you really did give it a good go.
37:08You ended up with £725, which obviously isn't enough.
37:12And I'm so sorry.
37:13It doesn't mean we have to say goodbye to you.
37:16Carry on gigging.
37:16Will we make it into one of your sketches?
37:19Henry, will you?
37:19Oh, I see, Henry.
37:23OK.
37:24I'm very good.
37:25I look forward to it.
37:25I'll come along.
37:26Super stuff.
37:27Thank you so much, Hussain and Alex, for being on the show.
37:29Now, Stephanie and Jill, it's all down to you two.
37:32They will face Henry's riddle run next,
37:35and we'll see how they cope under that pressure,
37:37with all that cash that they have accumulated up for grabs.
37:41But first, Henry, do you have another riddle for the viewers at home?
37:44I certainly do.
37:46I'll make a point of being on a theatre door or even on the floor,
37:50but look to the sky to see me more.
37:53What am I?
37:54I'll give you the answer after this.
38:06Welcome back.
38:07This is ridiculous.
38:09Henry, you set us all a devious riddle.
38:11I certainly did.
38:12I asked, I'll make a point of being on a theatre door or even on the floor,
38:17but look to the sky to see me more.
38:20What am I?
38:20Stephanie and Jill, you're our resident riddle champions.
38:24Three to the final.
38:25What do you think?
38:26We think it's a star.
38:27A star.
38:28Why?
38:29Because you put a star on a theatre door, like a dressing room door,
38:33the stars on the floor, and if you look to the sky, you can see stars.
38:37Absolutely right.
38:38A star is the correct answer.
38:40Yeah, stars on the dressing room door, of course, stars on the floor,
38:42Hollywood Walk of Fame stars, and in the sky, of course, yeah.
38:46I was wondering why the stars were on the floor.
38:48Yes, now I understand it.
38:49You really breathed past that.
38:50You were like, stars on the floor, obviously.
38:52Obviously.
38:53The stars are on the floor.
38:54Yeah, exactly.
38:56Listen, you've played a smashing game,
38:58and I know that you are actually avid fans of Ridiculous, aren't you?
39:02You've loved it, haven't you?
39:03Yeah.
39:04So much so, tell me about your dog and why actually...
39:08It could actually be our show pet.
39:11We got a Cavapoo puppy back in January.
39:15But when we first got him, we really didn't know what to name him,
39:19and we were watching Ridiculous at the time,
39:21and we felt there was a bit of a likeness to Henry Lewis.
39:26So we've called him Henry.
39:29Oh, that's so nice.
39:30Yeah.
39:31I mean, well, as nice as it can be,
39:33it could be told that you look like a dog, but yeah.
39:34He's very cute, if that helps.
39:36He's so cute.
39:37Do you let Henry off lead?
39:39Not just yet.
39:40No, I don't either.
39:41I don't trust him, you see.
39:42I don't trust him yet.
39:44You're not quite ready, Henry.
39:45Not quite ready.
39:46Not ready, though, no.
39:46We're trading.
39:47Yeah.
39:47You make other Riddlemasters nervous.
39:50You have to keep me close.
39:52Right.
39:52Well, you have got a fantastic prize pot.
39:55You have £2,475.
40:00Now, what will you spend that money on if you manage to take it home?
40:03We would go on a holiday together.
40:05However, we've never been to somewhere like Greece before,
40:07so we love going to new places.
40:09So I think it would probably go someplace we could just enjoy it
40:13and have a nice time.
40:14One of you has just got engaged.
40:16Yeah, I got engaged a couple months ago.
40:18Oh, cool.
40:19So you're not thinking of sharing it with your fiancé, then?
40:20Just your mum?
40:21Just to be clear.
40:22Holiday first.
40:23You should really put it towards a wedding,
40:25but we think holiday.
40:26I love that.
40:27I love that.
40:29Well, let's hope you do it,
40:30because, as you know,
40:32to take this great amount of money home,
40:34you have to face Henry's Riddle Run first.
40:37Henry, can you explain?
40:39I can.
40:39So in the Riddle Run,
40:40you're going to be facing puzzles
40:41where words are represented by combinations of letters and pictures.
40:44They're often known as rebus riddles,
40:46and the answers can be phrases, sayings,
40:48or a combination of words that are familiar to all.
40:50So there are 10 riddles in all,
40:53and you just need six correct in 60 seconds
40:57to take home the money that you have built up so far.
41:00If you're not sure about a particular one,
41:02just say pass,
41:03and you can come back to it later if you need to.
41:05And that's not all.
41:06If you do answer six correctly,
41:09you'll then have the chance to double your winnings
41:12and take home £4,950.
41:16Don't worry.
41:17If it all went a bit wrong,
41:18you would still go home with our collectible teacup and saucer.
41:23First, though, of course,
41:24you have to face Henry's Riddle Run.
41:26You've played a brilliant game so far.
41:28Are you ready?
41:30We are.
41:30Yes.
41:31Good luck.
41:31Henry.
41:32OK, team, your 60 seconds will start
41:34as soon as the first riddle is revealed.
41:37Good luck.
41:37Let's play.
41:39Cutting the cost.
41:41Correct.
41:42Greenpeace.
41:43Correct.
41:45Sun of everything.
41:46Everything under the sun.
41:48Correct.
41:50Odds and evens.
41:52Equal measure.
41:53Odds.
41:53The odds are stacked.
41:56Pass.
41:56Pass.
41:58The shadow.
41:59Eyeshadow.
42:00Eyeshadow.
42:00Correct.
42:02Cutting the question.
42:04Pin the question.
42:05Pinpoint the answer.
42:07Question.
42:08No, pass.
42:08So, question, so.
42:10Yeah, let's pass it.
42:12Firefighter.
42:12Correct.
42:13Fast food.
42:14Correct.
42:17Oh, that was brilliant.
42:19Great focus.
42:21Well done, ladies.
42:22You got six riddles correct, which means you've just won £2,475.
42:29Yes.
42:30I'm so pleased for you.
42:32Brilliant.
42:33Very nicely done.
42:34Very calm.
42:34And you just kind of passed when you needed to.
42:36But let's have a look back at the riddles that you faced.
42:39So, you got off to a great start.
42:41It's cost cutting, of course.
42:42We've got the word cost being cut in the middle.
42:44Second one.
42:45Greenpeace.
42:46Peace in green.
42:46Very simple.
42:47This one took you a little bit longer.
42:49The correct answer, everything under the sun.
42:51Of course, the word everything under the sun.
42:53Important, you know, where things are in relation to each other in these.
42:56The next one, you passed on.
42:58This is weighing the odds.
43:00Or weigh the odds, yeah.
43:01Oh, yeah.
43:01Then you've got eye shadow straight away.
43:02Of course, shadow of an eye.
43:04And then this one.
43:05Are you going to kick yourself for not getting this one?
43:06Pop the questions.
43:07Pop the question.
43:08Absolutely.
43:08You've got to engage with me.
43:10Pop the question, of course.
43:11A question mark being popped like a balloon.
43:13And then you've got the final two.
43:15Right, very, very quickly.
43:16Firefighter, of course.
43:17Fire in the word fighter.
43:19And finally, food.
43:21Moving quickly is fast food.
43:22Absolutely brilliant stuff.
43:24Well done, Stephanie and Jill.
43:26You've earned those big smiles now because you really have done well.
43:30You've managed to win £2,475.
43:33Now, if that is enough, then we're delighted.
43:36And you can finish the game and leave with that money.
43:39Or you could choose to face one last riddle.
43:42This time, you'll have just 20 seconds to give an answer.
43:46Get it right.
43:47And you will double your winnings and take away £4,950.
43:54But if you can't find the right answer in that time, you will lose everything and then leave with nothing
44:00from us.
44:01Apart from, of course, the teacup and saucer.
44:04So, have a think about it.
44:06What would you like to do?
44:07I think we just take the money, do you?
44:09Yeah, I do.
44:09Because we just don't know what we're going to be faced with.
44:11And there's been a few kind of them visual riddles.
44:13The riddles have been quite hard, yeah.
44:15I think we should take the money.
44:17Yeah.
44:18Yeah.
44:18I think we're going to take the money, please.
44:20A safe, sensible decision in the end for the pair of you.
44:23You're walking away with £2,475.
44:27It is a fantastic amount.
44:29Congratulations.
44:30You get to play it anyway.
44:33Absolutely, yeah.
44:34So, had you chosen to play, this would have been your double or nothing riddle.
44:39Love, shame, emotions.
44:41So, emotions.
44:42A box full of emotions.
44:44Tip of emotion.
44:46Tipping over the edge.
44:48So, it's like a machine.
44:50It's pride.
44:51It's emotion.
44:52It's feeling.
44:54Leave your feelings behind.
44:56Throwing your feelings in the air.
44:58And that would have been the end of your time.
44:59So, you made the right choice.
45:01Absolutely the right choice not to play it.
45:03Yeah.
45:03It's a tricky one.
45:04It is a tricky one.
45:05What are all the words that you're looking at there?
45:07We thought they were emotions.
45:08They are all emotions.
45:10Yeah.
45:10And what kind of vehicle is that?
45:11Is it a mix of emotions?
45:13Yes, mixed emotions.
45:14Oh, like a mixer.
45:16Exactly, a cement mixer, yeah.
45:17So, yeah, mixed emotions is the right answer.
45:21No mixed emotions here.
45:23Absolutely.
45:23Pure joy, right?
45:24Pure joy.
45:26Fantastic stuff.
45:26Well done to both of you.
45:28Great to have you on the show.
45:29And that's it for today.
45:30Lots of love in the air, Henry.
45:32Yeah, beautiful.
45:32In for you.
45:33Well, I'm thrilled that I got the first riddle past everyone.
45:35I've just been full of joy throughout the entire episode.
45:39Super stuff.
45:40We've had a great time.
45:41I hope you have too.
45:42We'll see you next time for more Ridiculous Riddles.
