00:17Welcome to Ridiculous, the ridiculously clever show where three teams of riddle solvers take
00:23on our devious riddle master. Hello Henry. Hello Ramir. Why are you looking particularly
00:28devious today? What have you been up to? I've got a lot of very, very good riddles. Have you? Yeah,
00:33it's going to be a devious hour of riddle solving. I love it. Can you give us a little taster?
00:38Certainly can. Okay, try this one out for size. As the host with the most, I look much more current
00:44than you do. What am I? I think it's current sultana. Is it something to do with like? It's not
00:51to do with sultanas. Are you a dried fruit? Is that the answer? No, I'm not. That's not the answer.
00:58Right. Okay.
00:58Fine. Well, we'll work on it. We'll work on it. Shall we meet today's teams? Who's with us today? I'm
01:05Chirag and this is my wife, Krupa, and we're from Manchester. I'm Maya, this is my mum, Wendy, and we're
01:10from Redcar. I'm Abby, this is my partner, David, and we're from Swindon. Super to have you. With us, welcome
01:15to the show. Now, before we get into it, did you manage to solve this riddle from Henry? I went
01:21boldly for dried fruit.
01:23You did. It's not dried fruit. It's not dried fruit. So, we've ruled out dried fruit. Any other guesses? Presenter,
01:29something about being present.
01:31Presenter is absolutely right. Abby, well done. Off to a good start. Lovely. But no cash available for that one,
01:36I'm afraid. No. Presenter, yeah, of course.
01:38Presenter, host is a presenter. But also, if you're more present, you might be presenter.
01:43Yes. And current, yes, exactly. Very, very good. Evil stares all round to Abby from the other teams.
01:51Welcome to the show. We're going to have a very fun time. This is how it works.
01:56You're going to face a series of riddles from Henry. And in order to unlock each riddle,
02:01you'll first have to correctly answer three general knowledge questions.
02:06Now, in this opening round, questions are worth £25. Henry, how much are the riddles worth?
02:11Well, in this round, the riddles are simple, Ranbir, so they're worth £100 each.
02:15But they're the easiest ones you're going to face for the whole show,
02:17so you really want to be getting these first ones right.
02:20And, of course, we will be saying goodbye to one team at the end of this round.
02:24So, every question is important.
02:29OK, time for some general knowledge. Hands by the buzzers. Let's play.
02:35An hourglass is traditionally filled with what material?
02:38Abby and David. Sand.
02:40Correct.
02:41First spoils to you guys, £25.
02:45Winkle pickers are worn on which part of the body?
02:48Maya and Wendy.
02:49Feet.
02:49Correct. Well done. £25 to you.
02:53Which British singer released the album Songs from the Kitchen Disco in 2020?
03:00Maya and Wendy.
03:01Sophie Ellis-Bexton.
03:02Correct.
03:03Right, Maya, Wendy, you're already just one correct answer away from unlocking the first riddle.
03:09The name of which semi-aquatic reptile is commonly used to describe a line of schoolchildren walking in pairs?
03:19Maya and Wendy.
03:20Crocodile.
03:21Yes.
03:22You're putting some welly into that buzzer, aren't you?
03:24You're whacking it there.
03:26Determined to get there well, and here you are.
03:28Welcome to your first riddle.
03:32Excited?
03:32Yes.
03:33Yeah, nervous.
03:33Very good.
03:34Mother and daughter?
03:35Yeah.
03:36Yes.
03:36I understand that you are very competitive, but usually against each other.
03:41Yeah, we rarely play as a team, do we?
03:43We're usually, like, trying to beat each other at everything.
03:46I heard it gets more brutal than that. You like to take each other down.
03:49Yeah.
03:49Yeah.
03:51Trash talking's no limits.
03:53Yeah.
03:53Oh, my goodness. I love that.
03:55But now, of course, you've got to face Henry's riddle, where you've got to work together as a team.
04:00But remember, you do have a clue that you can use from Henry at any time during the game if
04:05you get stuck,
04:05but you do only get one, so don't waste it.
04:08Henry, what is the first riddle?
04:10Here it comes. I hope you get it right, otherwise I shall be the one doing the trash talking.
04:15Like a rabbit on your head, you can let me down, it is said.
04:19What am I?
04:20What am I?
04:21It's a rabbit on the head, but no, it wouldn't be that.
04:24Like a rabbit, it's like a hair.
04:26Like a hair, like a rabbit.
04:29Hair on your head, you can let your hair down.
04:30Or like an H-A-R-E, an H-A-I-R.
04:33So do you think it's a hair?
04:34I think it's a hair because you let your hair down.
04:36Yeah.
04:37It's a hair.
04:38You're locking in hair?
04:40Yes.
04:41Feeling confident about that answer?
04:43Yeah.
04:45You're right, too. It's the right answer.
04:47Hair, of course.
04:47Yes, yeah, a rabbit, a hair.
04:49A rabbit resembles a hair.
04:50And, of course, you let your hair down, you have hair on your head.
04:52Well done.
04:53Very good.
04:54£100 to Maya and Wendy.
04:57Time for more general knowledge.
04:59Hands by the buzzers.
05:00Here we go.
05:00In the 1992 Disney film Aladdin, which character grants Aladdin three wishes?
05:06Abby and David.
05:08Jeannie.
05:08Correct.
05:09Well done.
05:11Which capital city is served by an airport named after the country's former president,
05:17Charles de Gaulle?
05:18Maya and Wendy.
05:19Paris, France.
05:21Correct.
05:24In finance, during which month does the UK tax?
05:28Abby and David.
05:29April.
05:30Yes, well done.
05:32OK, here we go.
05:33Next question.
05:34Snoop Dogg and Katy Perry have both appeared in adverts for which food delivery website?
05:40Maya and Wendy.
05:42Just Eat.
05:42Yes, it is.
05:43Yeah.
05:44Maya and Wendy, Abby and David, both of you are just one correct answer away from unlocking
05:48the next riddle.
05:49Here we go.
05:50Good luck to all of you.
05:51In a rainbow, which colour lies between green and indigo?
05:55Abby and David.
05:56Blue.
05:57Yes.
05:57Correct.
05:58Ah, well done.
05:59Abby and David.
06:01Brilliant stuff.
06:02You've got £25 and you're about to face Henry.
06:05You're a couple?
06:06Yeah.
06:06How did you meet?
06:07So we met on a dating app, which I hadn't wanted to brave, but some friends convinced
06:12me, and I deleted the app two days later.
06:15Once you'd met David?
06:17Yeah.
06:17This is lovely.
06:19And David, you have a really unusual job title.
06:21I do.
06:22So I'm a dementia environment specialist.
06:25So that means basically I visit care homes across the UK and I help the teams improve
06:30the environment of the care home.
06:31We add murals to the walls and we just help them make it every day special.
06:35Well, that's absolutely marvellous and we probably need many, many more of you, David.
06:40OK.
06:40Good luck.
06:41Riddle Master, what have you got?
06:43I'm completely empty but take up a lot of space.
06:46No matter, I really suck at cleaning.
06:48What am I?
06:50What are you thinking?
06:51I was thinking I'm totally blank and then I saw cleaning and thought a vacuum cleaner.
06:57OK, and I'm completely empty, which is a vacuum in space, right?
07:00That was my impression of a vacuum.
07:02So, yeah, I think that's the answer to them, right?
07:05I think vacuum.
07:05Vacuum.
07:06You're locking in vacuum.
07:10Quite a quick answer.
07:13Also the right answer.
07:14Yeah, very good.
07:15Congratulations.
07:15Well done.
07:16Yeah, absolutely.
07:16Completely empty.
07:17If something's empty, doesn't have anything in it, it is a vacuum, as you say.
07:20Vacuum in space.
07:21No matter is also part of the clue, of course.
07:23There's no matter in a vacuum in space.
07:25And, of course, a vacuum cleaner.
07:27Suck things up and clean.
07:28Brilliant.
07:28Well done.
07:29That's £100 to Abbey and David.
07:32Still plenty of money to play for.
07:34Keep going.
07:35Here we go.
07:37Which German team lost to Real Madrid in the 2024 UEFA Champions League final?
07:44Abbey and David.
07:45Bayern Munich?
07:46Incorrect.
07:47Which German team?
07:48Chirag and Krupa?
07:49Borussia Dortmund.
07:50Yes, very good.
07:52You are football fans, aren't you, both of you?
07:54Yeah, we are.
07:54Is it a source of contention to share with the team?
07:56It is, yes.
07:57So, she's a United fan, I'm a Liverpool fan, so, and that's it.
08:00You're pregnant, aren't you, Krupa?
08:02I am.
08:02What's the baby?
08:03Who's the baby going to support?
08:04United.
08:04I said, if he can choose the name, I'll choose the football club.
08:07So, we'll see.
08:09He's grimacing over there.
08:10I'm not sure he...
08:11I am.
08:11He's going to be Liverpool, that's the end of it.
08:13Brilliant stuff.
08:13Well, that answer means that you're up and running.
08:16£25 in the prize pot for you.
08:18Good stuff.
08:18Next question.
08:19The emblem of a double-edged sword and a circle within two curved blades
08:26is the symbol of which major religion?
08:30Chirag and Krupa.
08:31Sikhism.
08:32Yes, it absolutely is.
08:33Sikhism.
08:35What type of facial hair are men encouraged to grow
08:38during the month-long fundraising Maya and Wendy?
08:43Noustache.
08:43Yes, it is.
08:44In Movember.
08:45That's what it's called, isn't it?
08:47Which city in Nevada is commonly referred to
08:50as the entertainment capital of the world?
08:53Maya and Wendy.
08:55Las Vegas.
08:56Correct.
08:59Grandmaster is a title awarded to the top.
09:02Abby and David.
09:03Chess player.
09:04Players of which board game?
09:06It is chess.
09:08In 2008, who became the first conservative mayor of London?
09:13Chirag and Krupa.
09:17David Cameron.
09:18Incorrect.
09:20Abby and David.
09:21Boris Johnson.
09:22Yes, it is Boris Johnson, yeah.
09:24OK, well, this is looking very spicy.
09:27Any of the teams now could unlock the next riddle.
09:31And, of course, you know at the end of this round,
09:33somebody has to go, so as we say, every question counts.
09:35Good luck.
09:36The main characters of which David Nicholl's novel
09:40are named Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew?
09:45Abby and David.
09:47Uh, One Day.
09:48Oh, yes.
09:49In the nick of time.
09:51A brilliant answer.
09:53Not only do you add more money to your prize pot,
09:56but, of course, you now get to face Henry for another riddle.
09:59You did brilliantly on the last one.
10:00What movement sounds like a season combined with a waiter season?
10:06So...
10:06A season like a spring, summer, autumn, winter.
10:10Spring, summer, autumn, winter, spring.
10:12Like you would spring into a season?
10:14Oh, you do.
10:15But how do you...
10:16Do you season food?
10:17You don't season food with spring?
10:18What movement sounds like a season combined with a...
10:21Like a musical movement, maybe?
10:25It sounds like a season.
10:27Then I'm thinking of salsa, but that's not a season.
10:30No.
10:30Spring.
10:31It's a spring into something.
10:32Oh, a period of time.
10:34Time.
10:35Like you put time on food and then time moves.
10:39Maybe.
10:40And I guess a season is the passing of time.
10:42Yeah.
10:42Because you've got movement in the clock.
10:44Yeah.
10:44Time, we're hesitantly saying time, please.
10:48Time.
10:49Yeah.
10:49How are we feeling about that?
10:51Nervous?
10:52Biffy.
10:53Yeah.
10:55I'm afraid you're right to feel iffy.
10:56It's the wrong answer.
10:57Now, you can't steal in this round,
10:59but do either of the other teams have any idea what it might be, Wendy?
11:02I thought they were right with spring.
11:04Spring.
11:04Spring is wrong, I'm afraid.
11:06Ooh.
11:06Oh, I've foxed everyone.
11:08I thought these were meant to be the easy ones.
11:09It's only round one.
11:10I know, only round one.
11:11There's two things you've got to combine, right?
11:13One thing that's a season and something else that is a type of seasoning,
11:16very basic type of seasoning, in fact.
11:18Salt.
11:18Salt and a season.
11:20And a movement is what you're looking for.
11:22Not spring salt.
11:23Not autumn salt.
11:25Winter.
11:25You just said it, David.
11:26Summer salt.
11:27Summer salt is a movement.
11:28Very good.
11:29Summer salt is the correct answer.
11:32Well done.
11:33We got there in the end.
11:33But with a bit too much help.
11:36Oh, my goodness.
11:37OK, no money for anybody's prize pot,
11:39but we still have one riddle to go in this round.
11:42Good luck to everybody.
11:43Here we go.
11:44Hands by the buzzers.
11:45High levels of which compound in the blood
11:48are typically treated with statins?
11:50BUZZER
11:50Maya and Wendy.
11:52Cholesterol.
11:52Correct.
11:55BUZZER
11:55Which painter, known for his urban, industrial landscapes
11:59of northern England?
12:01BUZZER
12:01Maya and Wendy.
12:02Bowery.
12:03Correct.
12:04The full question was,
12:06which painter, known for his urban, industrial landscapes
12:08of northern England,
12:09has a venue named after him
12:11on Salford Quays in Greater Manchester?
12:13Barbara Millicent Roberts is the full name
12:15of which iconic doll?
12:17BUZZER
12:18Abby and David.
12:19Barbie doll.
12:20Correct.
12:22BUZZER
12:23Lemurs are native to which island?
12:25ABBY and David.
12:27Madagascar.
12:28Correct.
12:29Lemurs are native to which island off the coast of mainland Africa?
12:33So now, Maya and Wendy, ABBY and David, once again,
12:36you're tied here to see who will unlock the final riddle of this round.
12:42Which Scottish cyclist won six Olympic gold medals,
12:47including three?
12:48ABBY and David.
12:49Chris Hoy.
12:51Indeed, it's Sir Chris Hoy, isn't it?
12:52Absolutely right.
12:54Including three at Beijing in 2008.
12:58Wow.
12:58You, I think, must have been practising all this
13:01that is just coming very naturally to you.
13:03I generally say I don't possess general knowledge,
13:06but it's just come from somewhere.
13:08I know, well, that's what you said to me just before the show,
13:10but these are lies, aren't they?
13:11Because I always tell you what you do.
13:13Abby, what do you do for a living?
13:14I'm a primary school teacher.
13:16You can't accuse a primary school teacher of lying.
13:19No, but you can't also accuse a primary school teacher
13:21of having no general knowledge.
13:22Yes, true.
13:24Something fishy is happening here.
13:26Anyway, either way, here we are,
13:28the final riddle of the opening round.
13:30What have you got?
13:30I hope you struggle a bit more with this one.
13:33I'm a dish that can be thrown by a potter,
13:35a ball thrown at a batter,
13:37or one avoiding a gutter.
13:38What am I?
13:39Oh, that was a lot of words.
13:40It was.
13:41OK.
13:42I put as many words in that as possible.
13:44What are we thinking?
13:45Goodness.
13:45So a dish thrown by a potter.
13:47So you might throw a vase.
13:51Because when you throw it, you're making it, aren't you?
13:53If you're a ball thrown at a batter,
13:55what, you're bowling it?
13:56A bowl.
13:57A bowl.
13:58You're a bowl.
13:58You're bowling a batter, aren't you?
14:00And one avoiding a gutter.
14:01But I put the things up at the side,
14:03so I don't have to avoid the gutter.
14:06Do we think you're a bowl?
14:06Absolutely, I would say.
14:07Bowl, please.
14:09You're saying a bowl.
14:11And you're confessing to using a ball wall.
14:15A bowl is correct.
14:17Yes, absolutely.
14:18Very good.
14:18Yeah, well done, a bowl.
14:19Of course, yeah, a bowl.
14:20So a dish that can be thrown by a potter,
14:22you might, yeah, on a potter's wheel, make a bowl.
14:23A ball thrown at a batter in cricket would be a bowl.
14:26Yeah, a bowler would throw a bowl, a bowl, a bowl.
14:29Are you all right there, Henry?
14:31No, I'm having a slight meltdown,
14:33using the word bowl too many times.
14:35You want to put your teeth back in.
14:36And, of course, yes, in 10-pin bowling,
14:39you avoid the gutter when you bowl down the centre of the lane.
14:44Well done.
14:44Very, very good stuff.
14:46OK, well done.
14:46That is another £100 for Abby and David.
14:51So, teams, at the end of that round,
14:53let's take a look at the scores.
14:54Abby and David have £450.
14:57Maya and Wendy, you have £325.
15:00And, Chirag and Krupa, you have £50.
15:03Which, sadly, means that we have to say goodbye already.
15:06It's been lovely having you on the show.
15:08Yeah, thank you.
15:09It's been a great day.
15:10It's been great.
15:10But, listen, good luck with the baby.
15:12And good luck to the baby.
15:14Because I know the baby's going to have two parents.
15:16We're very divided footballing allegiances.
15:19Good stuff.
15:20Lovely to have you on the show.
15:22And that's it for part one already.
15:24Time's just whizzing by, Henry.
15:26I know, I know.
15:27We got to those riddles too quickly.
15:28I was concerned, you know.
15:30Struggle more is what he's saying here.
15:31Struggle more next time.
15:33OK, what have you got for us before round two?
15:35Before round two, see if you can figure this one out.
15:37What has nine lives and 40 winks?
15:39I'll give you the answer after this break.
15:41APPLAUSE
15:52Welcome back.
15:53Now, before the break, Henry set us another riddle.
15:55Certainly did.
15:56I asked, what has nine lives and 40 winks?
16:00And the answer is...
16:02Cat nap.
16:03Cat nap.
16:03Everyone did it together.
16:04Fantastic.
16:05Yeah, brilliant.
16:05Of course, cat nap.
16:06Absolutely.
16:06Cat has nine lives.
16:08A sleep or a nap can also be called 40 winks.
16:10Well done.
16:11Super stuff.
16:11Very good start to round two.
16:13Here we are.
16:14Well done, teams.
16:15You navigated round one and you survived.
16:17Now, listen, I want to know, Wendy,
16:19you're quite tough on each other, aren't you,
16:20when you're playing against each other, right?
16:22And you said you trash talk.
16:24What kind of things do you say?
16:25Well, I might ask her, what did she have for breakfast?
16:28Thicky Bix?
16:30That's so rude.
16:32This is your lovely daughter.
16:34I know.
16:34Or maybe what's her favourite cake?
16:36A donut.
16:39It's mean, isn't it?
16:40But then you see, it's made you very competitive.
16:42Well, exactly.
16:43Yes, and this is why you're here.
16:45Yeah.
16:45Exactly.
16:46Let's take a look at the score, shall we, so far.
16:49So, we've got Maya and Wendy, you're on £325.
16:52We've got Abby and David, you're on £450.
16:56But that gap can close, the lid can change all the time.
16:59Because here in round two, in this round,
17:01the correct general knowledge answers are now worth £50.
17:06Once again, you need three to unlock a riddle.
17:09And the riddles themselves are quite different, aren't they, Henry?
17:12Yeah.
17:12So, in this round, you're going to be facing visual riddles.
17:15So, they involve pictures, but also numbers, shapes and words.
17:18They're a little bit trickier.
17:19So, if you get them right, you get £200.
17:22Only one member of the team will be able to answer.
17:25And you'll have just 60 seconds to get it right.
17:28And in this round, if you get it wrong,
17:31then the riddle will be offered to the opposing team.
17:34But first, of course, you need to answer
17:36some more general knowledge questions.
17:38Get your hands ready.
17:39Let's play.
17:42In 2024, Sabrina Carpenter had a UK number one single
17:46with a song named after what type of coffee drink?
17:50Maya and Wendy.
17:51Espresso.
17:52Correct.
17:53£50 to Maya and Wendy.
17:56In the common spelling of the word pharaoh,
17:59which vowel appears twice?
18:01Maya and Wendy.
18:03O.
18:04Incorrect.
18:05Abby and David.
18:06A.
18:07Yes, well done.
18:08£50 to you.
18:10What is the first name of the political thinker
18:13after whom Marxism is named?
18:16Maya and Wendy.
18:17Paul.
18:18Correct.
18:19£50.
18:21And that means you're one correct answer away
18:22from unlocking the first visual riddle.
18:26In 2001, city status was awarded to which seaside resort
18:47along...
18:49I'll be taking it and I'll go pictures, please.
18:53OK.
18:53Going for pictures.
18:55Henry, over to you.
18:56Thanks, Ranbir.
18:57OK, Maya.
18:5860 seconds to give me a correct answer
18:59once I've read the riddle that goes with this.
19:03Which of these does not belong?
19:06Your time starts now.
19:08Which of these does not belong?
19:12There's jelly, a car, a sword, a cat and a star.
19:19Hmm.
19:22I really can't think what this could be.
19:26Um...
19:27OK, so there's...
19:30They've all got vowels.
19:34They're all...
19:37You've got 30 seconds left.
19:39OK.
19:42Um...
19:46OK, I think I'm going to have to guess on this one.
19:48Something is saying car.
19:52So I'm going to go car.
19:54You've locked that in.
19:55Yeah.
19:55Locking in car.
19:57Maya, why?
19:59I don't really know, to be honest.
20:00I'm just...
20:01It's the one I'm looking at
20:03that just doesn't feel like it belongs.
20:06Doesn't feel like it belongs.
20:07Hmm.
20:08Not much more than that, just a bit of a feeling.
20:10No, just a feeling.
20:14Maya, it's a good feeling.
20:15It's the right answer.
20:17Wow!
20:17Now, I don't believe you can tell us why, though.
20:20No.
20:21Abby and David, any ideas?
20:23We were guessing jelly, so no.
20:24Yeah, you were guessing jelly.
20:25So, it's all about adding something to each of these.
20:29If I told you that, would you know why, then?
20:31So, car is the only one you can't add something to.
20:35Fish is absolutely right, of course.
20:38Oh, yeah.
20:38Jellyfish, swordfish, catfish, starfish.
20:41All types of sea creatures.
20:43There is no carfish.
20:45That has earned you £200 into your prize pot.
20:47Well done.
20:49OK.
20:50We still have two more visual riddles to go in this round.
20:53Hands by the buzzers.
20:54Here we go.
20:54More general knowledge questions coming your way.
20:58What is the name of Gwyneth Paltrow's character in the Iron Man film?
21:02Maya and Wendy.
21:04Pepper Potts.
21:05Correct.
21:06£50 to Maya and Wendy.
21:09Rice, cider and balsamic are all varieties.
21:12Maya and Wendy.
21:13Vinegar.
21:13Of which acidic liquid used in cookery?
21:17The answer is vinegar.
21:18Vinegar.
21:20A green jacket is awarded to the...
21:22Abby and David.
21:24No.
21:25No.
21:26It's gone.
21:28I'll complete the question.
21:29A green jacket is awarded to the winner of the US Masters tournament in which sport?
21:35Maya and Wendy.
21:36Golf.
21:36Yes.
21:38Sometimes Abby and David intercepting works and sometimes it doesn't.
21:41And on that occasion it didn't quite work out for you.
21:44But Maya and Wendy, here we are again.
21:46Now, you know that you did very well on the last one.
21:49By some fluke.
21:51But now we have two more categories.
21:52Maya and Wendy, who wants to take up either letters or numbers?
21:56Who wants to take it?
21:57Do you want us this time?
21:58Do you want us this time to take it?
21:59Yeah.
21:59OK.
22:00We'll go for letters, please.
22:03Here we go, Wendy.
22:0560 seconds to give me a correct answer after I've finished reading the riddle that goes
22:08with this.
22:09Someone in the ridiculous wardrobe department wrote this coded message about me.
22:14What does it say?
22:15Your time starts now.
22:19Someone in the ridiculous wardrobe department wrote this coded message about me.
22:23What does it say?
22:25Right, so I'm seeing various letters of the alphabet and I'm wondering if those pictures
22:31are a clue.
22:32So we've got a heart, so love shirt, A to B, so it's something to do with the alphabet
22:38and shirt.
22:41What does it say about me?
22:44So if I'm going back a letter, no, forward a letter, forward a letter maybe because D would
22:51be an E, so it would be H, E, H, H.
22:57You've got 20 seconds left.
22:58Hen, you, hen, you?
23:00No, maybe Henry, Henry, sorry, Henry.
23:05L-Oves-
23:09Re-
23:09Lock it in.
23:11Red, red shirts.
23:13Henry loves red shirts.
23:15You've locked in.
23:17Henry loves red shirts.
23:18You had two seconds to go.
23:20Two seconds to spare.
23:22Wendy, tell us why do you think it's that?
23:24I think you were going forward in the...
23:25So, like, A to B.
23:26I was going forward in the alphabet by one letter
23:29and then the little clue of the little shirt at the end
23:32and it's all written in red.
23:34Absolutely right, Wendy. Well done.
23:36Henry loves red shirts.
23:37I certainly do wear one every episode.
23:39Maya, you love red shirts, too, I can tell.
23:41Absolutely.
23:41Yeah, absolutely.
23:42So, yeah, it's what's called a substitution cipher.
23:44So, yeah, A equals B, B equals C and so on through.
23:47So, you've got to move one letter along to give you the correct answer
23:50and you're absolutely right.
23:51Of course, in red pen there, there is also a visual clue to help you.
23:54Yeah, well done.
23:55Brilliant stuff.
23:56OK, £200 to Maya and Wendy.
23:59We have one more visual riddle to go in this round.
24:03Still plenty to play for.
24:05Let's keep playing.
24:06Hands by the buzzers.
24:06Here we go.
24:08What surname is shared by Doctor Who actors Tom and Colin?
24:13Maya and Wendy.
24:15Baker.
24:15Yeah, Tom Baker and Colin Baker.
24:18For over 60 years, an old English sheepdog has been the mascot of which Maya and Wendy?
24:24Dulux paint.
24:25Yes, of which brand of paint?
24:29In a 1983 single, Prince said he was going to party like it was which year?
24:36Maya and Wendy.
24:371999.
24:38Yeah, Wendy, you're on fire.
24:41Wow.
24:41OK.
24:43Gosh, Abby and David, you didn't get any chance in there with the general knowledge.
24:47OK, finally, you've got numbers.
24:49So you've both had a go.
24:51And you've both done really well.
24:53She does not like numbers.
24:55All right, Maya, good luck.
24:56Yeah, no lucky guesses this time, though.
24:59Here we go.
24:5960 seconds to give me a correct answer once I've read the riddle that goes with this.
25:02If this standard die, with opposing faces adding up to seven, rolls over to the blue block, which number will
25:09end face up?
25:10Your time starts now.
25:11OK, so I need to try to remember what's opposite what.
25:17So I think they all add up to seven.
25:19So it'll roll to one.
25:22It'll roll to two.
25:25It'll roll to six.
25:28And then it'll be five.
25:34And then it'll go sideways.
25:38So it'll go to four.
25:41And the opposite of four would be three.
25:45So I'll go three.
25:47You're locking in three?
25:48Yeah.
25:55It's the right answer, Maya.
25:57Well done.
25:58Three.
25:58Yeah, absolutely.
25:59Now, the thing about this is, actually, I mean, you took the slightly long way, but there is a shorter
26:03way to work it out,
26:03because it doesn't matter how many white cubes there are in a line.
26:06All that really matters is that it turns one space to the right.
26:10So if you watch the dice rolling along here, you can see it turning there.
26:13It still only turns one way.
26:14So you can sell from the beginning.
26:16You can see that there's a four.
26:17An opposite of four is three.
26:18So you don't actually need to do all of that working out, which you did brilliantly anyway.
26:22But yeah, four is opposite.
26:23Three on a dice always to add up to seven, so three will end up on top.
26:25Yeah, well done.
26:26Really strong work, Maya.
26:27Very, very well done.
26:29That's another £200 into your prize pot.
26:33Well, they've beaten you.
26:34Absolutely.
26:35With skill that tone rather than luck, so I'm fine with that.
26:38You'll let them have that one.
26:39Yeah, for sure.
26:40So, teams, let's take a look at what's happened at the end of that round.
26:42Maya and Wendy, you have £1,375.
26:46Abi and David, you have £500.
26:48But all of that can and does change often in the next round.
26:53So bear that in mind.
26:55Time for a break, though.
26:56I think we all need one, actually.
26:57No more numbers, please, in this next riddle, if at all possible.
27:00This is a number-free riddle.
27:02It could be said, this regal chair has been tossed up in the air.
27:06What is it?
27:06I'll give you the answer after the break.
27:19Welcome back to Ridiculous, the ridiculously clever and brain-teasing show.
27:24Now, before the break, Henry, you asked a riddle to which I actually might know the answer.
27:29Very good.
27:29OK, the riddle was, it could be said, this regal chair has been tossed up in the air.
27:34What is it, Ranveer?
27:35Throne.
27:36A throne, absolutely right, of course.
27:37Yeah, a throne, a regal chair, a throne.
27:39And, of course, throne is to throw something.
27:41Yes, and you occasionally throw me an easy one so that I don't feel completely out of it, don't you?
27:45And I appreciate it.
27:47Thank you so much.
27:48Well, what a game it has been so far.
27:52Fantastic stuff by both teams.
27:53Abi and David, how are you feeling?
27:54Because you're a little bit behind.
27:56What's going on here?
27:57There's a few that we've known, but they're just so speeding.
28:00Yes, and Wendy, you're very confident when you go for the buzzer, aren't you?
28:03Particularly on the general knowledge.
28:05I'm surprised myself, actually.
28:06You're doing really well, both of you.
28:09So far, your prize pot's down at £500 on £1,375.
28:14But this is where the competition gets serious, as the team with the highest prize pot at the end of
28:19this round
28:20will be going through to the final to face Henry's riddle run.
28:24Now, this time, correct questions are worth £100, and Henry, the riddles have shot up in value.
28:32Certainly have.
28:33They're worth £300 each in this round because it's the deciding round, and these are the toughest riddles you've faced
28:38yet.
28:38OK, good luck to both teams.
28:40Here we go.
28:41Let's play.
28:43Which fruit is known in French as a palm?
28:47Abby and David.
28:48Apple.
28:49Correct.
28:50The first £100 of this round going to Abby and David.
28:54Yes, you can exhale a little bit, David.
28:56Relax into it.
28:57Here we go.
28:57In July 2024, which Formula One driver won the British Grand Prix for the ninth time?
29:04Maya and Wendy.
29:05Lewis Hamilton.
29:05Correct.
29:08What first name is shared by the older sisters in Swallows and Amazons and the Lion, the Witch and the
29:15Wardrobe?
29:17Abby and David.
29:18Susan?
29:19Correct.
29:20Susan Walker in Swallows and Amazons and Susan Pevensey in the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
29:25Really good literary knowledge there.
29:28In 2009, which building in Dubai became the tallest skyscraper?
29:33Abby and David.
29:34Burj Khalifa.
29:35Correct.
29:36Burj Khalifa it is.
29:37The tallest skyscraper in the world.
29:40You've got three correct answers in a row.
29:43Well done.
29:43Abby and David, you are now about to face a high-value riddle worth £300 from Henry.
29:51Good luck.
29:51You're ready for it.
29:52And of course, Maya and Wendy, you know there's a steal if they don't get it, so anything could happen
29:56here.
29:57Off you go, Henry.
29:57Absolutely.
29:57You are £700 behind, so it would be quite good to get this and catch you up some of the
30:01way.
30:03Understand this, most people have two of me, although from my name you'd think there's only one of me.
30:09What am I?
30:10Is it literally a name?
30:12Because most people have two names, although from my name you'd think there's only one of me because you basically
30:18only ever use your first name on most things.
30:21Is it literally a name?
30:22Understand this, most people have two names, a first name and a last name.
30:25Although from my name, because name is literally in the question.
30:29I feel like that answer just landed in your head.
30:31It literally just came with me.
30:32Less thinking cases than it sounds.
30:34I was just about to say, maybe we should just check that.
30:36What else do you have two of?
30:37Understand this, most people have two of me, although from my name you think...
30:41So you have two ears, you have two feet.
30:43Ears, feet, hands, legs.
30:47Remember, I don't think you've used a clue in the whole game.
30:49Oh, should we do that, can we?
30:51Can we use our clue?
30:52Yes, please.
30:52Yes, please.
30:53The answer's right under your feet, is the clue.
30:56Sole?
30:57No, sole, under your feet.
31:00Heels.
31:01Heel.
31:03Feet.
31:04Floor, shoes, feet.
31:05You've got two feet, foot.
31:08Mmm, soles.
31:10No, I don't know.
31:11Maybe just stick with name.
31:12Even though the clue pulled us away from there.
31:14Yeah, we'll just say name, please.
31:17Name.
31:18It's wrong, I'm afraid.
31:19OK, no more time for thinking.
31:21Maya and Wendy, for a steal for £150, your answer.
31:24We think it might be a sole, like a solo.
31:27S-O-L-E, and it sounds like solo on your own.
31:32Sole.
31:36It's the right answer.
31:37Abby and David, you both said it.
31:39You both said it during your deliberation.
31:41And sole is the right answer, of course, yeah.
31:43Understand as well.
31:44Understand your soles are under where you stand.
31:47Most people have two of me.
31:48Soles on both of your feet.
31:50Although, from my name, you think there's only one.
31:52If something's the sole.
31:53Sole.
31:54You know, then it is the one, yeah.
31:55But well done, Maya and Wendy.
31:57What a great steal.
31:57£150 added to your prize card.
32:00OK, hands by the buzzers.
32:02Let's keep playing.
32:03More riddles to come.
32:04The internal angles of a triangle add up to how many degrees?
32:08Abby and David.
32:09£180.
32:10Correct.
32:12£100 to Abby and David.
32:15Which CITV children's show was presented by Neil Buchanan?
32:19Abby and David.
32:21Art Attack.
32:21With five kids between you, I would have hoped you would have known this one.
32:24You're absolutely right.
32:27What does the letter I stand for in the term IQ?
32:33Abby and David.
32:35Intelligence.
32:36Absolutely right.
32:38Wow, this is looking very good.
32:40You're staging a comeback here, Abby and David, let me tell you.
32:44Henry, you're going to tax their intelligence now, aren't you?
32:47Certainly am.
32:48I bring every query to an end, but when spoken aloud, I can begin one.
32:53One, several of us sound very intelligent indeed.
32:58What am I?
32:59OK, what are you thinking?
33:00OK, so I bring every query to an end, would be an answer.
33:03OK.
33:04But when spoken aloud, I can begin one.
33:07You can begin a question.
33:09So could it be a question word, like who, what, why, how?
33:13Several of us sound very...
33:15Owls.
33:15Owls sound very intelligent, because they're wise.
33:20Is there a name for, like, a group of owls?
33:22So are you thinking owls, or are you thinking...
33:23I'm thinking question words, like what, like we've got the word what, what, am I?
33:28Where?
33:29Oh, boy.
33:30I bring every query to an end.
33:33A Q, the letter Q, because you start the word query with it.
33:36Query to an end.
33:38When spoken aloud, I can begin one.
33:39I think maybe theory.
33:41I think I quite like your Q answer, just to chuck that in, because it begins the word query.
33:45I bring every query to an end.
33:46Y.
33:46Oh, Y, the letter Y is at the end of query.
33:48But when spoken aloud, I can begin one.
33:50Y's.
33:51Y's.
33:51Y's.
33:52Can we go with Y, please?
33:55Y.
33:55Yes.
33:57Y.
33:58Because we were looking at the letter Q, but that's not at the end of the word query.
34:01The letter Y is.
34:03And how many times have I gone, who, what, why?
34:06Y, please.
34:08You've spoken aloud, you begin a question, you say Y, and Y's.
34:12Owls.
34:12I was obsessed with owls.
34:14Y, please.
34:16Y.
34:16Thank God for that.
34:17It's right.
34:17Yeah, absolutely right.
34:18It's a happy right.
34:20My goodness.
34:21That was extraordinary.
34:23It was the first word, I think, you said.
34:24It was, yeah, Y.
34:25So you said Y, as in the question Y.
34:27But you got onto letters, and then that got you into the right territory, didn't it?
34:30I think you got into Q.
34:31I think it was a bit of a misconception, because it was bring every question to an end.
34:35Of course, you're looking for the letter at the end of query.
34:37That's the letter Y.
34:38When spoken aloud, I can begin a query.
34:40So you can ask Y.
34:41That is a query, as you correctly say.
34:43And several of us sound very intelligent, indeed.
34:45Wise.
34:46Although you were on the hunt for the collective noun for owls and all sorts of other things.
34:51Parliament, I think it is.
34:52And so, yes, but we got there at the end.
34:53Oh, my goodness me.
34:55With great pleasure, I can say, Abby and David, I'm going to add £300 to your prize pot.
35:01I tell you what, that was earned in a sort of sweaty way.
35:05It was.
35:05I kind of quite enjoyed that.
35:07It really was.
35:09OK, so we have one more high-value riddle left in this round.
35:15I'm just going to tell you what the difference is between the scores here.
35:18So you've got Abby and David, you're on £1,400.
35:21Maya and Wendy, you're on £1,625.
35:24So you can see what's riding on this next riddle and the questions, too.
35:30Good luck to both teams.
35:32You're both fantastic.
35:33I wish you both well.
35:34The Caribbean Sea forms part of which ocean?

36:01There's £25 difference between the two prize pots at this point.

36:17The dog breed, known as a schnoodle, is a cross between a poodle, Maya and Wendy.
36:23A schnauzer.
36:24And which other breed?

36:26You're both just one correct general knowledge answer away from unlocking a £300 riddle.
36:34Which British band had top 40 hits in the 1990s with Come Home, Lose Control and Sit Down?
36:43Abby and David.
36:45Oasis.
36:46Incorrect.
36:47Which British band had top 40 hits, Maya and Wendy?
36:50James?
36:51You're right.
36:54Right, here we go.
36:56Final riddle of this deciding round.
36:58Very well played.
36:59OK, yeah, absolutely.
37:00Here we go.
37:01You think I'm dashing and good-looking.
37:03This is just about me.
37:04No, this is the riddle.
37:04You think I'm dashing and good-looking.
37:06What a compliment.
37:08Now, let me pass a few to you.
37:10But first, you'll have to cut me in two.
37:13What am I?
37:14What's dashing and good-looking?
37:16Apart from Henry, obviously.
37:20So dashing could be rushing.
37:22Obviously, they're using it now as good-looking.
37:25Good-looking.
37:26Handsome.
37:26Oh, you look good.
37:27You look well.
37:28Like, you know, my eyeglasses would.
37:30Something can pass something to you.
37:33A hand can pass something to you.
37:35That's half of handsome.
37:37Oh, yeah.
37:39Do you think it could be handsome?
37:41I know, but that'll pass a few.
37:43You haven't used your clue.
37:45Oh, could we get a clue?
37:46Come get a clue, please.
37:48Let me give you a hand, and you're halfway to the answer.
37:51Handsome.
37:53Right, and we're going with handsome, then.
37:55Yeah.
37:55So, yeah, we think, because, obviously, dashing, good-looking, another word for that is handsome.
37:59Handsome.
38:00Right.
38:00I think we're going for the word handsome, please.
38:02You're locked in handsome.
38:06It's the right answer.
38:08Oh.
38:08Well done.
38:08Handsome is correct.
38:09Of course, yeah, dashing, good-looking, you're handsome.
38:12Let me pass you a few.
38:13You handing someone some would be the same as passing a few.
38:16First, you'll have to cut me in two, so you need to split handsome into two words, yeah,
38:20hand and some.
38:21And then, of course, the clue, yeah, absolutely, you give you hand.
38:23That's half of the answer, four of the eight letters required.
38:26Well done.
38:27Well, that answer means I get to hand you £300 into your prize pot, Maya and Wendy.
38:34Well, after that round, congratulations, Maya and Wendy.
38:37You are through to the final with a prize pot.
38:39Of £2,225.
38:42But, my goodness, I'm sure, no trash talk from you, Wendy.
38:45Abby and David were absolutely brilliant.
38:48You ended up with a prize pot of £1,600.
38:51But I think that difference actually doesn't tell the full story.
38:54Because, wasn't it, just right down to the wire?
38:58Absolutely brilliant stuff.
38:59It does, though, mean we have to say goodbye to Abby and David.
39:02Do you look crestfallen?
39:04Oh, it was amazing just to be on the show, to be honest, and meet you guys too.
39:08Oh, it's been lovely having you on the show.
39:10Your kids will be super proud.
39:12Now, after the break, Maya and Wendy will face Henry's riddle run,
39:16and we'll see how they deal with that pressure,
39:18with all that cash that they've accumulated up for grabs.
39:21But first, Henry, let's have another riddle for the viewers to solve at home.
39:25What a superb idea.
39:26I'm a loud noise in a game of tennis.
39:28What am I?
39:29I'll give you the answer after this.
39:42Welcome back.
39:43This is ridiculous.
39:44Now, Henry, you set us another mischievous riddle over the break.
39:48Certainly did.
39:49I'm a loud noise in a game of tennis.
39:51What am I?
39:52Maya and Wendy, what am I?
39:53I have no idea.
39:54I didn't get this one.
39:55I'm thinking down around squash.
39:57No, but that's not tennis.
39:59Do you maybe use this to play squash?
40:01A racket.
40:02A racket is the right answer.
40:03Of course, a loud noise is a racket,
40:04and in tennis, you'd use a racket or in squash.
40:07Very good.
40:08It doesn't happen very often, Maya and Wendy,
40:10that one team gets all three of the visual riddles right,
40:14but they did today.
40:16Very impressive.
40:16Very impressive.
40:17You've played brilliantly.
40:17I mean, you've been in the lead for a long time,
40:19and it got pretty close,
40:20but you maintained your lead, so well done.
40:21You've already managed to accrue a very impressive £2,225.
40:28So if you did manage to take that money home,
40:30what would you spend it on?
40:31I think I'd spend it on another trip to Paris,
40:34because I've been once, and I absolutely loved it.
40:36So I'd love to go again.
40:37Lovely.
40:38And what about you, Wendy?
40:39Well, I'm going to have to.
40:40I was watching an old episode on Tuesday,
40:42trying to do...
40:43Oh, ridiculous.
40:44Yeah.
40:44When my TV broke halfway through the episode,
40:47and it hasn't worked since,
40:49so I'm going to buy a new television.
40:51Listen, to take that money home,
40:53you know what you have to do.
40:54You have to face Henry's riddle run.
40:57In my riddle run, you will be facing puzzles
41:00in which words are represented by combinations
41:02of pictures and letters.
41:03They're sometimes known as rebus riddles,
41:05and the answers are a phrase or a saying
41:08or a combination of words that are familiar to all.
41:10Now, Maya and Wendy, the rules are pretty simple.
41:12There are ten riddles in all,
41:15and you need six correct in 60 seconds
41:20to take home the money that you've built up so far.
41:22If you're not sure about a particular riddle,
41:25just say pass,
41:26and you can come back to it later if you need to.
41:28And that's not all.
41:29If you do answer six correctly in that time,
41:33you'll then have the chance to double your winnings
41:36and take home £4,450.
41:40But don't worry.
41:42If something did go wrong,
41:43you would still go home
41:45with our collectible teacup and saucer.
41:48First, though, of course,
41:50you've got to face Henry's riddle run.
41:53Good luck.
41:53You'll have 60 seconds,
41:55and it'll start as soon as your first riddle is revealed.
41:58Let's play.
41:59Ant in the pants.
42:00Correct.
42:01Ant in your pants.
42:03Hacks...
42:04Pass.
42:05Hackersen...
42:07Word on the road.
42:09Word on the street.
42:09Word on the street.
42:10Correct.
42:12Chop up.
42:13Correct.
42:15Spring of time.
42:16Time of spring.
42:17Round robin.
42:18Correct.
42:20Think tank.
42:21Correct.
42:23Yes!
42:25Wow.
42:25Absolutely brilliant.
42:27Fantastic.
42:27That was a very, very confident, assured round.
42:30Well done.
42:30You've done it.
42:31I think you both look a bit stunned.
42:33You look a bit so you can relax.
42:35Relax those shoulders.
42:36You've just won £2,225.
42:40Fantastic.
42:41Brilliant stuff.
42:42Let's have a look back through.
42:43So you've got this one, right?
42:44Yes.
42:44Of course, ants in the pants.
42:45Of course, ants in a pair of pants.
42:46Very clear, that one.
42:47Any ideas now what this one might be?
42:50Cash in hand is the right answer.
42:51Cash written in the middle of the word hand.
42:53You've got this one right.
42:55Word on the street, not word on the road.
42:56Of course, it's the street.
42:57Chop up.
42:58Fairly simple.
42:59Yeah, chop written upwards.
43:00And then this one you got right, which is springtime.
43:03Yeah, springtime.
43:04This one, round robin.
43:05You've got that very quickly.
43:06Absolutely.
43:06Robin written in a circle.
43:07Round robin.
43:08And then finally, of course, think tank.
43:11Thinking of a tank.
43:12Think tank.
43:13Brilliant stuff.
43:14Now, you've done so well throughout the whole game.
43:17And that means you've managed to win £2,225.
43:20And if that's enough for you, then we are delighted.
43:23And you can finish the game and you can leave with that money.
43:27Or you can choose to face one last riddle.
43:32This time, you'll have just 20 seconds to give an answer.
43:36If you get it right, you will double your winnings and you will take away £4,450.
43:45But if you can't find the right answer in that time, you'll lose everything and you'll leave with nothing.
43:51Apart from, of course, our teacup and saucer.
43:55What do you want to do?
43:57I don't know.
43:58We said if we got more than £2,000.
43:58I just know that it's going to come up on the screen and we're going to know it's true.
44:03But then it's a lot of money as well.
44:05But then it's a big gamble, a lot of pressure on, isn't it?
44:07Do you think we should just take it?
44:09I think, yeah.
44:10Yeah.
44:11Yeah.
44:11I think we'd like to just take the money, please.
44:14OK, well, Maya and Wendy, you take away with you £2,225.
44:21But Maya, let's put that theory to the test.
44:23You said as soon as it comes up, we'll probably know it and then we'll kick ourselves.
44:26Henry, will they be kicking themselves?
44:27Let's find out.
44:28You would have had 20 seconds to have answered this.
44:32Steps in the right direction.
44:35Steps, um...
44:36Miss... Miss step?
44:38Miss belt of step?
44:40Pet...
44:40Pet...
44:41Wrong step.
44:43I'm not clear, actually.
44:46Back step.
44:47Step back step.
44:49Steps backwards.
44:49And that would have been the end of your time.
44:53Oh, yes!
44:54You made the right decision.
44:55We did.
44:55You made absolutely the right decision, yeah.
44:57Ranvir, any ideas?
44:59Is it one step forward, two steps back?
45:01It is.
45:02One step forward, so the top step, of course, is written the right way around.
45:05The two steps below are written backwards.
45:08One step forwards, two steps backwards.
45:10But you didn't make one step forward, two steps backwards.
45:12You made the right choice not to play it.
45:14Well done.
45:14It's been lovely to have you on, great smiles throughout.
45:17It's been a pleasure to have you on the show, and congratulations.
45:20Well done.
45:20That's it for today.
45:21Thank you so much, Henry, for your riddles, as always.
45:25And that's it from us.
45:26Thank you so much for joining, and we'll see you next time for more Ridiculous Riddles.
45:30Thank you so much for joining us.
46:00To have you.
