00:00MUSIC
00:18Welcome to Ridiculous, the Ridiculously Clever Show,
00:21where three teams of riddle solvers take on our devious riddle master.
00:26Hello, Henry. Hi, Rebecca.
00:27Now, I'm determined to outsmart you today, Henry.
00:31OK. Now, you might think me foolish, but I'm going to give it a go.
00:33Do you want to test me? OK, try this one out.
00:36I'll lead you to the holy house on higher ground.
00:39Who am I? Any ideas around it, who I am?
00:42Well, lead you to something to do with church or a priest
00:45or a kind of guru, something like that, maybe?
00:48What might higher ground be? Like a mountain or a hilltop.
00:52You've said the components of the answer. Painful, isn't it?
00:55Yeah, yeah. Teetering on the edge of the answer,
00:56but never quite getting there. Right, I'm going to keep thinking, Henry.
01:00OK.
01:00But first, let's meet today's teams.
01:04Who's with us today?
01:05I'm Andy. This is my mum, Lorraine, and we're from Glasgow.
01:09I'm Maisie. This is my dad, Andrew, and we're from Derbyshire.
01:12I'm Carl. This is my fiancee, Ashley, and we're from Preston.
01:15Lovely to have you all with us.
01:16Now, I might need you to help me out here.
01:18Just whisper it. Now, go on, Henry.
01:21I'll lead you to the holy house on higher ground.
01:24Who am I?
01:25Right.
01:25Andrew's giving me the eyebrows.
01:26OK. Andrew, what do you think?
01:28Churchill.
01:29Churchill is the right answer.
01:30And you said church and you said hill, Rambeer.
01:32So, you know, half points.
01:34You're feeling generous.
01:35Absolutely, yeah.
01:36Don't let that lull you into a false sense of security.
01:38That's only for me.
01:40Riddle Master, thank you so much for kicking off the show so beautifully.
01:44Welcome, one and all.
01:46It is great to have you with us this afternoon.
01:47So, let me tell you how this is going to work.
01:50You're going to face a series of riddles from Henry
01:52and in order to unlock each one,
01:55you'll first have to correctly answer three general knowledge questions.
01:59Now, in this round, the questions are worth £25,
02:03but the riddles are worth more, Henry.
02:04The riddles are worth £100 each, if you can get them right.
02:07And these are the easiest ones you're going to face for the whole game.
02:10So, important to get these ones right.
02:11And we will be saying goodbye to one team at the end of this round.
02:15So, every question is important.
02:19OK.
02:19Time for some general knowledge.

03:39Well, you had a different idea here, didn't you?
03:41You thought we're not letting them get away.
03:43Right, you're all neck and neck.
03:44Any of you could unlock the next riddle.
03:47Good luck.
03:48How many letters long are the words played in a game of wordle?
03:54Andy and Lorraine.
03:55Five.
03:56Yes!

03:59You've unlocked your first riddle.
04:00Andy and Lorraine.
04:02So, mother and son.
04:03Yep.
04:04Mine have three children.
04:05He's the oldest of the three.
04:07And he's a nurse in Glasgow and I'm incredibly proud of him.
04:13As I am with all of my children.
04:15She says very quickly.
04:16Yes.
04:17I'm proud of all of you in case you're watching.
04:19Yeah.
04:20Obviously, when families come on the show, there's a history there of having been quizzers since they were kids.
04:26Well, I have to say my mum and my dad are very, very competitive.
04:29We weren't really allowed to win.
04:30Oh, I see.
04:31Well, now you've got to work together as a team.
04:33Yep.
04:33Yeah.
04:34OK, good luck, both of you.
04:36Now, you do have access to a clue, of course, from Henry.
04:39But you've only got one during the game.
04:41So, you've just got to think about when you really need it.
04:43Henry.
04:44Here we go.
04:44First riddle, please.
04:45Let's see if you can get this.
04:46I mean, limited prune knowledge, but let's see if you can get this.
04:49Which fragrant flower once got up to sit amongst prickly spines?
04:54So, I feel like it's got something to do with once got up.
04:58So, something that stands up on its end.
05:02I'm trying to think of a fragrant flower.
05:05A rose?
05:06Yeah.
05:07A rose amongst thorns?
05:08Yeah, of course.
05:08Of course.
05:09A rose amongst thorns.
05:10Much like myself.
05:11Yeah.
05:12Locking in rose.
05:13Locking in rose.
05:14Lorraine, how are you feeling about that answer?
05:16After the prune answer, not so confident, but hey-ho.
05:20It's better than the prune answer.
05:22Rose is correct.
05:23A fragrant flower is a rose.
05:25You find them amongst prickly spines, right?
05:27A rose amongst thorns, as you say.
05:28And, of course, the linguistic bit of the clue there.
05:30There's something got up in the past.
05:32It rose.
05:32Yeah, well done.
05:34Andy's only just clocked on to that bit of that.
05:36Of course I knew that.
05:37I'm still on the update.
05:39I love that.
05:40The solving of the riddle after the answer is a novel one on me,
05:43but I like it anyway.
05:44New abstract series that we can do.
05:46Exactly.
05:48Andy and Lorraine, well done.
05:50That's £100.
05:52OK, let's keep playing.
05:54Hands by the buzzers.
05:55Here we go.

06:42The statue on top of the Old Bailey in London depicts a woman holding a sword in one hand and
06:48what?
06:49Maisie and Andrew?
06:50Scales.
06:50Correct.
06:51What in the other hand?
06:53Which actress played Miss Jean Brodie and the Dowager Countess of Grantham in Downton Abbey?
07:00Maisie and Andrew?

07:13Karl and Ashley?

07:16And 2023.
07:17Correct.
07:18Karl and Ashley, hello.
07:20Hello.
07:20So you're a lovely couple from my hometown of Preston, which is fabulous news.
07:25Tell me a bit about how you met.
07:28Yes, we met on a night out in one of Preston's many classy establishments.
07:36I saw Ashley from across the dance floor and tried to put some moves on in there.
07:41Did you?
07:42I wouldn't say moves.
07:44It was...
07:44Yeah, it was more of my chat up line was sort of, do you want to sing in my band?
07:49Oh, that's quite a niche thing to say to someone.
07:52Yeah, especially when I didn't have a band at the time, but...
07:56I did go to sing in the band and it was him and his housemate.
08:01And that was about it.
08:03So, yeah.
08:04But the rest is history and we stayed together and I just sing karaoke instead.
08:08Oh, that's absolutely lovely.
08:10How funny.
08:11Right, you're about to face the riddle master for the first time.
08:13What have you got for Karl and Ashley?
08:16I can be made in the West, but not in the East.
08:19Cook me slowly for a tasty feast.
08:21What am I?
08:22So, it's a word that you can make out of West, but not out of East.
08:28And it's something that you're going to cook slowly.
08:30Stew, like a slow cooker.
08:32Yeah, slow cook stew.
08:33Yeah, just check.
08:34There's nothing else there.
08:35Yeah, I think you're right with stew.
08:37What am I?
08:37It's a stew.
08:39Yeah.
08:40Should we go for that?
08:40Yep, I'm going to lock in stew.
08:41No.
08:43It's the right answer.
08:45Out of the letters of the word West, you can make a stew.
08:48You can't do that with East.
08:49You might cook a stew slowly and, of course, it would be very tasty.
08:52And you like contestants to stew a little, don't you?
08:55As they're solving the riddles.
08:56Ideally, you would have stewed a bit longer, really, but no, you got it very quickly.
09:00Well done.
09:00That's £100 to Karl and Ashley.
09:03So, we are two riddles down and two to go.
09:05It's anyone's game.

09:56Billy Joel.
09:57Correct.
09:57Billy Joel is right.

10:09What can you do to make something like new so it also resembles things placed back in a
10:15two?
10:16What do you do to make something like new?
10:18You can wash it.
10:19Something like new.
10:19It resembles things.
10:21So you put something back together.
10:21Yeah, so it's something that you're putting back together.
10:24Is it mend?
10:25Mend something?
10:27Sew it together.
10:31Should we try for a clue maybe?
10:33Yes, I think we'll use a clue.
10:35Yeah?
10:35Yeah, we'll use a clue.
10:37The clue is this riddle has you in a fix.
10:39In a fix.
10:41What do you do to fix something that's like new?
10:45Something like new?
10:47It's that bit that's getting me because it's...
10:49Walter.
10:50It resembles things placed back in a two.
10:52It's like in a fix, in a bind.
10:56Erm...
10:58Erm...
10:59Repair.
11:01Repair.
11:02Repair.
11:03Oh.
11:03Repair.
11:04Of course it is.
11:05Yeah.
11:06Right.
11:06It resembles things placed back in a two.
11:08Repair.
11:09Yes, repair.
11:10Yeah, that makes sense.
11:11It took us a while, but I think we're going to lock in repair.
11:16You have repaired your reputation as riddle solvents.
11:19Repair is absolutely right.
11:20Well done, yeah.
11:21Repair.
11:22That was...
11:23Tell you what, that demonstrates the value of saying things out loud.
11:26Absolutely.
11:26Because, Carl, you said repair with no idea what that was,
11:29and actually you realised that it was the right answer and why,
11:31so well done.
11:32Good teamwork.
11:33Really good teamwork.

13:53And of course, if you make a difference, you make a change.
13:55Well done.
13:55Well, I can add a few more than coppers to your prize, but I can give you exactly £100.
14:01OK, teams, at the end of that round, Carl and Ashley have £575.
14:06Andy and Lorraine, you have £250.
14:09Maisie and Andrew, you've got £175, which means that, sadly, we must say goodbye.
14:15Maisie and Andrew, tell us a bit about your lovely relationship as father and daughter.
14:20Three kids.
14:20She's my favourite daughter.
14:22The other two are sons.
14:24Always a dad joke.
14:25Yeah, I do do the dad jokes quite often.
14:28But are you quite different to each other, or are you peas in a pod?
14:31Yeah, very much different.
14:32You're the brain side, I'm the theatrical side.
14:34Go on, what do you do for a living, Andrew?
14:35So, I'm an accountant.
14:36Very handy.
14:37Yeah, yeah.
14:38Maisie, what about you?
14:39I'm an actress.
14:40Oh, I love that.
14:41A full-time actress.
14:42I mean, it's a big decision, isn't it, to commit to it.
14:44Got a couple of contracts coming up, so...
14:46Oh, exciting!
14:47Is this for the theatre or TV or films?
14:49Theatre.
14:50For the theatre?
14:51How lovely.
14:51You must be really proud, Andrew.
14:53I am, yeah.
14:53Yeah, lovely stuff.
14:55Well, good luck for the future, Maisie.
14:56Perhaps we'll see you on a stage near us sometime soon.
14:59That would be lovely.
15:00Thank you so much for coming on Ridiculous.
15:02And that's it for part one.
15:04Henry, how about another riddle for us to solve over the break?
15:07What a marvellous idea.
15:08In battle, I'm armed and advanced non-stop.
15:11Though in fashion, I'm armless and can be a nice top.
15:13What am I?
15:14I'll give you the answer when we come back.
15:27Welcome back.
15:28Now, before the break, Henry, you set us a riddle.
15:30Certainly did.
15:32I asked, in battle, I'm armed and advanced non-stop.
15:35Though in fashion, I'm armless and can be a nice top.
15:38What am I?
15:40Andy, Lorraine, Karl, Ashley, any ideas?
15:42Yeah, I think I do.
15:43OK, Ranvir, do you know it too?
15:45Hang on a minute.
15:47I thought I'd got away with it.
15:48Actually, I think I do know.
15:49I went with Vest, then I realised that can't possibly be true
15:52because it doesn't fit the riddle.
15:53And then I realised it must be tank.
15:54Tank is the right answer.
15:56Everyone had tank.
15:56Very good, well done.
15:57Thank you so much, yeah.
15:58All round, yeah, tank.
15:59Of course, a tank in battle and a tank top, yeah.
16:01Right, Karl and Ashley, you're on £575.
16:05And Andy and Lorraine, you're on £250.
16:08How are you feeling about the game so far, Andy and Lorraine?
16:10Yeah, I think it's got OK.
16:11Yes!
16:12It's a little bit quicker.
16:13We're going to need to be a bit quicker.
16:14I know, these guys are really fast.
16:15They are fast, aren't they?
16:17Karl and Ashley, you've clearly been practising.
16:19You must be proud of how well you're doing so far in the game.
16:23Feeling a little bit more confident than I thought I was going to.
16:25Yes, very nice.
16:27OK.
16:28Well, it's paying off, but listen, in round two, lots of things can change.
16:32So, here, the questions are worth £50 from me.
16:37Once again, you'll need three correct to unlock a riddle,
16:40and the riddles have changed.
16:43Explain, Henry.
16:44So, in this round, you're going to be facing visual riddles.
16:46As you might expect, these contain pictures,
16:48also numbers, shapes and words.
16:51They're a little bit trickier, but if you can get them right,
16:53they're worth £200 each.
16:55Now, only one member of your team will be able to answer the riddle,
17:00and you'll have just 60 seconds in which to get it right.
17:04Also here, if you get your riddle wrong,
17:07then it will be handed over to the opposing team for a steal.
17:11So, if you're ready, hands by the buzzers.
17:14Time for more general knowledge questions.
17:15Let's play.
17:18Niagara Falls is situated on the border between the United States and which?
17:24Carl and Ashley.
17:25Canada.
17:26Other country, Canada it is.
17:28£50 added to your prize pot.

17:38Harry Kane.
17:39Incorrect.
17:40Which footballer scored England's only goal in the Men's Euro 2024 final?
17:47Oh, he plays for Chelsea.
17:49That can't be a meme.
17:51Oh.
17:51It was Cole Palmer.
17:53But as Scots, you're forgiven.
17:55Why would you know how England had done in the final?
17:58You were probably watching the other side.
17:59Yes.
17:59We were trying for the other side.
18:01Oh!
18:02OK.
18:04What does the letter A represent in the qualification A level?
18:09Andy and Lorraine.
18:10Advanced.
18:11Correct.
18:12That's £50.
18:14Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson star as dim-witted models.
18:18Carl and Ashley.
18:19Zoolander.
18:20Correct.
18:21In which?
18:222001 comedy film.
18:24Which vegetable is the subject of the children's book,
18:28The Snowman's Nose?
18:30Andy and Lorraine.
18:32Carrot.
18:32Correct.
18:34It's open to either team here.
18:36A lot riding on this next question from me.
18:38Good luck.
18:41Which castle in Ireland famously has a stone
18:45that is said to endow the gift of the gab on those who kiss it?
18:49Andy and Lorraine.
18:51Blarney.
18:52Blarney is correct.
18:53The Blarney stone, Blarney castle.
18:56So, you've unlocked the first visual riddle.
18:58Shall we take a look at the categories?
18:59Yeah.
19:00Before you decide who wants to face the riddle master,
19:03you can choose from numbers, pictures or names.
19:07So...
19:08If you want to go first, I'm happy.
19:09If you want to do the first one.
19:10Do you know, I'll maybe go first and I'll go for names, I think.
19:12OK, lovely.
19:14Nicely delegated there.
19:15What you did there, Lorraine, is what most parents do,
19:17is you make the child think that it's their decision.
19:20When, in fact, you've already decided.
19:22Yeah, exactly.
19:22A great example.
19:24Masterful parenting.
19:25They didn't think it was his idea.
19:26Yes, exactly, yes.
19:27Clever.
19:28Good luck.
19:29Over to you.
19:29Names it is.
19:30Andy, 60 seconds to give me the right answer
19:32after I've finished reading the riddle.
19:35Who from the blackboard is absent from class?
19:37Your time starts now.
19:41Who from the blackboard is absent from class?
19:45Erm...
19:49I can't even think what that would be.
19:51I mean, I guess I'm trying to think,
19:52do I need to go through the alphabet here,
19:54or I think I'm going to need a clue.
19:56Stop the clock.
19:58All these pupils are in the same year.
20:01Start the clock.
20:03Pupils are in the same year.
20:08I really don't know, is it the number of letters?
20:11I'm going to go for Josie.
20:13Locked in Josie?
20:14Yeah, I think so.
20:16OK.
20:17Is there any thinking behind that at all, Andy?
20:20Not really, just that David has five letters
20:22and she has five letters.
20:25That wouldn't prove true in many of the other cases.
20:28Yep.
20:29So that's completely wrong.
20:31Andy, somehow Josie is correct.
20:33I think that was a lucky guess, really, wasn't it?
20:35I knew it all along, honestly.
20:37No, I'm not sure you did.
20:39I think this was another prune scenario.
20:41Yes, it was.
20:42Or maybe he's kissed the Blarney Stone.
20:44I don't know what's going on here.
20:46Go on, Ashley.
20:47I thought it was the months of the year.
20:50So James would be January...
20:52F...
20:52Andy's face.
20:54March, April, May.
20:56That's absolutely right.
20:58I'm afraid...
20:59No opportunity to steal
21:00because Andy somehow got it right.
21:02I can't believe it.
21:04Thinking behind it, yeah,
21:05is each name represents a month of the year, of course,
21:0812 desks for the 12 months.
21:09We've got James for January,
21:11Frida for February,
21:11Mark for March, and so on.
21:14So it would be June by the time we get to that desk.
21:17So it must be Josie because it's the only name there,
21:19beginning with J.
21:21So a moral victory for Carl and Ashley,
21:23but £200 for Andy and Lorraine.
21:25I'll take that.
21:27£200 added to your prize pot, Andy and Lorraine.
21:31So, hands by the buzzers.
21:33Next question.
21:34A standard Jack and Jill bathroom has how many entrances?
21:38Andy and Lorraine?
21:39Two.
21:40Correct.
21:41A game of pool typically ends with which colour ball being,
21:46Carl and Ashley?
21:47Black.
21:48Yes, being successfully potted black it is.
21:52What two words go before prayer and virgin
21:57in the titles of songs by Madonna?
21:59Andy and Lorraine?
22:01Like a...
22:01Yes, like a prayer and like a virgin.
22:03Jesse Eisenberg stars as which tech entrepreneur in the 2010 film
22:08The Social...
22:09Carl and Ashley?
22:10Mark Wahlberg?
22:11No.
22:12Incorrect.
22:13Jesse Eisenberg stars as which tech entrepreneur in the 2010 film
22:17The Social Network?
22:18Andy and Lorraine?
22:20Mark Zuckerberg.
22:21Correct.
22:22Very different movie if you played Mark Wahlberg.
22:26Andy and Lorraine, that means you've unlocked the second visual riddle.
22:30Let's take a look at the other categories that are left.
22:33We've got numbers and pictures.
22:36So, Lorraine, you volunteered Andy last time.
22:38Yeah, I think numbers is a bit scary.
22:42I might go for pictures then and I'll play.
22:44You've dodged the maths for now.
22:4660 seconds, Lorraine, to give me the right answer
22:49after I finish reading the riddle.
22:51Which of these connects the others?
22:53Your time starts now.
22:55Which of these connects the others?
22:57I just need to work out what each picture is.
23:01That looks like a berry.
23:04A goose.
23:06A goose.
23:08An ink splat.
23:11I can't see.
23:13A berry.
23:16Which of these connects the others?
23:20A goose.
23:22Ah.
23:23It's...
23:24I know what it is.
23:26I think.
23:27Only because I can see...
23:29The first one.
23:35Is it goose?
23:36I don't want to give it away in case I get it wrong.
23:42OK.
23:43You've got ten seconds.
23:44I'm going to say goose.
23:46Goose.
23:47It's the wrong answer.
23:49Carl and Ashley, no more time, no more conferring.
23:52What's your answer for a steal?
23:54A berry.
23:55Carl, why?
23:57It doesn't fit with most of them all.
23:59I can't get it to fit where I've got strawberry and gooseberry
24:02and then just went with that.
24:05Yeah.
24:06Berry.
24:06Yeah.
24:07Why not?
24:09Good work.
24:10You're right.
24:11Well done, yeah.
24:12Berry, yeah.
24:12So gooseberry, blackberry, elderberry, strawberry.
24:16Yeah.
24:16It goes on to the end of all the others.
24:18Well done.
24:19Unlucky, Lorraine, but Carl and Ashley, great steal.
24:21You can add £100 there to your prize pot.
24:25So we're heading into our final visual riddle.
24:29Scones served in a Devon cream tea are traditionally topped with cream and then what else?
24:35Andy and Lorraine.
24:36Jam.
24:36Correct.
24:39In 1966, Che Blythe and John Ridgway rode across which ocean in 92 days?
24:47Andy and Lorraine.
24:48The Atlantic.
24:49The Atlantic Ocean, correct.
24:52Which spaghetti western starring Clint Eastwood is known by the Italian title
24:58Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cativo?
25:02Carl and Ashley.
25:04The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
25:05Yes.
25:07Which member of the Beatles later founded the rock band Wings?
25:12Carl and Ashley.
25:13Paul McCartney.
25:14Correct.
25:16Either team here could unlock the final visual riddle.
25:21Built in dedication to the goddess Athena, what is the name of the temple on top of the Acropolis in
25:26Athens?
25:28Carl and Ashley.
25:29The Parthenon.
25:30Correct.
25:31You gave me a sort of quizzical answer there.
25:34You are reaching for it and you got it right.
25:37Well done.
25:37Somewhere.
25:38Yes, maybe the quiz gods are looking down on you with love today.
25:41Carl and Ashley.
25:42Right.
25:43So, there's only one category left now.
25:45You've got numbers.
25:47Have you already decided who's doing it?
25:49Yeah.
25:49Always if it was numbers it would be Carl.
25:51Right.
25:52Numbers it is.
25:53Good luck.
25:54You've got 60 seconds to give me a correct answer after I've finished reading the riddle.
25:58Try to solve this riddle in time.
26:00Which single digit comes next in line?
26:03Your time starts now.
26:08Try to solve this riddle in time.
26:10Okay.
26:10Which single digit comes next in line?
26:13So, the riddle in time thing has got to be a clue.
26:20So, 563.
26:21I'm looking, spin that backwards.
26:23365 for the days in the year.
26:2624 hours in a day.
26:2960 minutes in an hour.
26:32So, I'm going to say six where the question mark is for 60 seconds in a minute.
26:40So, you're looking in?
26:42Six for the question mark.
26:47How are you feeling about that answer, Carl?
26:50I was feeling confident until you looked at me like that.
26:54Now I'm a bit.
26:55But yeah, quietly confident.
26:57You should be loudly confident is the right answer.
27:00Six.
27:02All to do with units of time.
27:03But they're flipped backwards, yeah?
27:04So, you start from the back.
27:0660 seconds in a minute.
27:0760 minutes in an hour.
27:0924 hours in a day.
27:10365 days in a year.
27:12So, you've just got to work backwards from the year to the day to the hour to the minute to
27:16give you 60.
27:17Yeah, well done.
27:18Ashley, you glad he did it?
27:19Absolutely.
27:20I couldn't see that at all.
27:22Even when he was saying it.
27:23I was like, I still couldn't figure out what came at the end.
27:25No, exactly.
27:27Fantastic riddle solving there, Carl.
27:29Under pressure.
27:29So, I'm happy to give you another £200 into your prize pot.
27:34Andy and Lorraine, could you have stolen it?
27:37Maybe.
27:37I didn't know it, but I think you got it in the end.
27:40You could have stolen it, but Carl was too quick for you.
27:43Yes.
27:43And didn't give you the chance.
27:44That's right.
27:44So, let's take a look at the scores.
27:46At the end of that round, teams, Carl and Ashley have £1,175.
27:51Andy and Lorraine, you have £850.
27:54So, all of that can change and often does in the next round.
27:59So, stay focused and calm if that's possible.
28:03Henry, do you have another riddle for us?
28:05So, we head into the break.
28:06I do, Ranbir.
28:07What part of the body is sometimes in and sometimes out, but sounds like it's all at sea?
28:12I'll give you the answer after the break.
28:25Welcome back to Ridiculous, the ridiculously clever and brain-teasing show.
28:29Now, how did you do with Henry's riddle?
28:31This is a good one.
28:32What part of the body is sometimes in and sometimes out, but sounds like it's all at sea?
28:37What do you think?
28:38Teams?
28:39I think I know it.
28:40You think you know it?
28:41Andy, go on then.
28:41I think it's legs.
28:43Legs.
28:43It's the hokey-cokey.
28:44And you get sea legs.
28:45Oh, it's the sea legs and the hokey-cokey.
28:49You go in and out.
28:50But you do all parts of the body with the hokey-cokey.
28:52True.
28:53Get your whole self in, whole self out.
28:55I'm sorry, Andy.
28:56It's not right.
28:57Any ideas from Carl and Ashley?
29:00We thought the same.
29:01That was my exact answer.
29:02We thought the same.
29:02You're saying legs as well.
29:03Left leg in.
29:04Should have put it in the round.
29:06This one's defeated everyone.
29:08Ranbir, you work on them.
29:09Yes.
29:10Yes.
29:10I'm punching the air before I even know if it's right.
29:13But I'm glad you've all got it wrong because it makes me feel a bit better.
29:16I thought belly button and then another name for belly button might be your navel.
29:21Navel, of course, and if you're at sea.
29:24Navel, the Navy is at sea.
29:25Welcome.
29:26You're welcome.
29:27You're welcome.
29:29Thank you so much.
29:30It's a very good one.
29:31It was good, wasn't it?
29:32It was a very good one.
29:33So, teams, as we head into our deciding round, Andy and Lorraine, you have £850 in your prize pot.
29:39Carl and Ashley, you have £1,175.
29:43But don't be fooled by that gap, either of you, because things can really change.
29:47And this is where the competition gets serious because the team with the highest prize pot at the end of
29:53this round will be going through to the final to face Henry's riddle run.
29:58Now, this time, the questions are worth £100.
30:04How much are your riddles now worth, Henry?
30:06So, this is a deciding round.
30:07So, these are the toughest riddles you've faced yet.
30:10But if you can get them right, they're worth £300 each.
30:12So, you can see it only takes a few questions and that lead can change hands.
30:17Right.
30:18So, game on.
30:19Hands by the buzzers.
30:20Good luck to both teams.
30:22Let's play.
30:25What word means both a woodwind instrument and a champagne glass?
30:31Carl and Ashley.
30:32Flute.
30:33Correct.
30:34That's £100.
30:36The TV shows, and or, and the...
30:40Andy and Lorraine.
30:41Star Wars.
30:42Well, you must be a mega fan.
30:44Yeah.
30:44Fantastic answer.
30:46I barely even started the question.
30:48Let me give you the full question.
30:50The TV shows Andor and The Mandalorian are spin offs set in the universe of which sci-fi
30:55film franchise?
30:56Star Wars.
30:57Good interception.
30:58Well done.
30:59£100 added to your prize pot.
31:02Which city hosts the Australian Open tennis tournament?
31:06Carl and Ashley.
31:07Melbourne.
31:08Yes.
31:09One correct answer away from unlocking a high value riddle.
31:14Milk, flavoured with onions and cloves, is used as the base of which sauce often served
31:20at...
31:21Andy and Lorraine.
31:22Bishamal.
31:24Incorrect.
31:25Milk, flavoured with onions and cloves, is used as the base of which sauce often served
31:31at Christmas?
31:32Carmen and Ashley.
31:33Bread sauce?
31:34Yes.
31:35Bread sauce.
31:36It's a sort of nonchalant way in which you answer these questions and get them right.
31:40I think you've got a lot of knowledge but you doubt yourself as you say it.
31:44I just thought, milk is going to be white, white sauce, bread sauce.
31:48Great logical thinking there.
31:50Right, Carl and Ashley, all of that means that you've unlocked the first £300 riddle.
31:55Now, Henry.
31:56In one, I'm one.
31:58Two, I'm none.
32:00Twice in three, though, four has zero.
32:03I'm alive in five.
32:05Six is empty.
32:06Seven has plenty.
32:09Eight, nine, ten.
32:10I'm one again.
32:12What am I?
32:13So, I'm thinking straight away that it's letter-based.
32:17Yeah.
32:17Yeah.
32:17So, in one, I'm one.
32:22There's one E.
32:24In two, I'm none.
32:26There's no E in that.
32:28Twice in three.
32:29Yeah, there's two.
32:30So, there's two in three.
32:31Four has zero, yeah.
32:33Yep.
32:33Alive in five is just another way of saying that that five has got one, but just for rhyming
32:37purposes.
32:38Six is empty.
32:39There's no E in six.
32:40Yep.
32:40Seven has plenty.
32:41It's got two.
32:42Eight, nine and ten is one again, so they've got one E.
32:45They've got one.
32:45Seven has plenty is throwing me off, though.
32:49It's plenty.
32:51It's just saying seven's got more than one, but rhyming with empty.
32:55Could it be anything else?
32:57I can't think of anything else.
32:59I started thinking about, like, the holes in the letter and how the letters are actually
33:03Six is empty.
33:04They don't have any.
33:05It's got to be the letter E.
33:06Yeah, I think that's our best answer.
33:08Yeah.
33:09Final answer, the letter E.
33:11The letter E.
33:14You nearly talked yourself out of it, but letter E is the right answer.
33:17Well done.
33:18Great teamwork.
33:19Really lovely to see.
33:20Let's give you £300.
33:23Could you have stolen it, Andy and Lorraine?
33:25Yeah, I think we got it pretty much straight away.
33:28Yeah.
33:28And we were just hoping you were going to talk yourself out of it.
33:32Right, let's keep playing.
33:33Which James Bond character played by Harold Ciccata in Goldfinger wears an iconic bowler hat?
33:41Andy and Lorraine.
33:42Odd Job.
33:43Correct.
33:45In April 2024, the blades fell off the red windmill on the roof of which Parisian cabaret club?
33:52Andy and Lorraine.
33:54Moulin Rouge.
33:54Moulin Rouge.
33:55Yes, correct.
33:56Moulin Rouge literally means red windmill.
33:59Right.
34:00Andy and Lorraine.
34:01You are one correct answer away from unlocking a £300 riddle from Henry.
34:07Which British television soap dropped the word farm from its title in...
34:12Andy and Lorraine.
34:13Emmerdale.
34:14Yes, Emmerdale.
34:15They dropped the word farm from its title in 1989.
34:19I'm sure loads of people still call it Emmerdale Farm though.
34:21You've unlocked a £300 riddle.
34:23Good luck.
34:24Deep breaths.
34:25Here we go.
34:26I could fit like a glove or sock it to you.
34:29I often have strings attached to.
34:32Either way, I'll only move if you make me.
34:34What am I?
34:35So immediately I'm thinking boxing because you would wear a boxing glove,
34:40you would sock somebody if you're boxing.
34:42Okay.
34:43And it's got strings to tighten it up.
34:44Okay.
34:45And it only moves if you make me.
34:47Yeah.
34:48I was actually thinking puppet but now you've said that it doesn't really fit.
34:52Oh, no, no.
34:53Well, it might be.
34:54Yeah, yeah.
34:55No, no, no.
34:55It could be mum.
34:56Because you could have a glove puppet, you could have a sock puppet.
35:00You've got strings attached.
35:00It's strings attached and it only moves.
35:03Yeah, it's that.
35:03I think it's that.
35:04Glove puppet, sock puppet.
35:06Puppet, yep.
35:07Strings attached.
35:09Strings attached.
35:09Yep.
35:09I can only move if you make me.
35:12Do you want to lock it in?
35:13Lock it in.
35:15We'll lock in puppet.
35:16Puppet.
35:17Lorraine, talk me through your thinking on that.
35:19Well, I was just thinking glove puppet, a sock puppet.
35:23You can tell that I work in a nursery.
35:26That's the kind of thing we would do.
35:28And puppets, obviously, you know, like a marionette kind of puppet would have strings.
35:33It's the right answer.
35:34Puppet, yeah.
35:35You would go with boxing glove, I think, towards the beginning when you talk about strings.
35:38More commonly with Velcro now.
35:40You know, you'd do up a boxing glove probably.
35:43Maybe an old boxing glove.
35:44I'm an old fashioned soul.
35:46What can I say?
35:46LAUGHTER
35:48OK, so we can give you £300, Andy and Lorraine.
35:52Right.
35:52Right, so we're into our final riddle.
35:55Good luck.
35:56Emojis to be used on mobile phones were first created in the late 1990s in which country?
36:03Carl and Ashley.
36:04Japan.
36:05Correct.
36:07Cataracts affect which...
36:09Carl and Ashley.
36:10Sight.
36:11Incorrect.
36:12Cataracts affect which sensory organs of the human body?
36:16Andy and Lorraine.
36:17The eyes.
36:18Yes, exactly.
36:19So it was the organ rather than the sense.
36:21The stage name of which US rapper means half a dollar?
36:27BUZZER
36:27Andy and Lorraine.
36:2850 Cent.
36:29Yes.
36:30BUZZER
36:31The nest of which tree-dwelling mammal is referred to as a dray?
36:36BUZZER
36:36Carl and Ashley.
36:38A squirrel?
36:39Yes.
36:40BUZZER
36:41You're both one away from unlocking the final riddle in this round.
36:45What is the common response to the popular chant, oggy, oggy, oggy?
36:50BUZZER
36:51Carl and Ashley.
36:52Aye, aye, aye.
36:54BUZZER
36:54Yes, correct.
36:55BUZZER
36:56Carl and Ashley have unlocked the final riddle in this deciding round.
36:59Good luck.
36:59For £300, what have you got?
37:00Henry.
37:01I have a deep red, round body with a heart of stone.
37:05But you like me a lot when I decorate the top.
37:08What am I?
37:09BUZZER
37:10So I'm thinking like a heart of stone, like a stone fruit.
37:14BUZZER
37:14Yeah, so that's where I've gone.
37:16A deep red.
37:17I'm thinking something that could also be like a colour.
37:21Round body is the shape.
37:23And you like me a lot when I decorate the top.
37:27BUZZER
37:27I'm thinking cherry.
37:43BUZZER
37:44A cherry.
37:45A cherry.
37:45And it is a little bit hard.
37:46Final answer.
37:47BUZZER
37:48That was certainly the cherry on top of that round.
37:50Well done.
37:50It's the right answer.
37:52Cherry's deep red.
37:52They're a stone fruit.
37:53Cherry's around and they've got a stone in the middle.
37:55If you like something a lot, then it's the cherry on the cake.
37:57Karl and Ashley, let's give you another £300.
38:02Great riddles in that deciding round, Henry.
38:05Enjoyed those very much.
38:06Well, congratulations.
38:07After that round, Karl and Ashley, you're through to the final with a prize pot of £2,375.
38:14And Andy and Lorraine, so gracious in defeat.
38:17You ended up with £1,750, but you were so close all the way through.
38:22It really was just on a knife edge at times.
38:24It could have been either of you facing the riddle run, but did you enjoy being on the show?
38:29Oh, amazing.
38:30We've had loads of fun.
38:31I was very ready to steal that.
38:34Oh!
38:35Yeah, we've had a great day and it was lovely to meet everybody.
38:37It's been so nice.
38:39Well, it's been lovely to have you both on.
38:40Andy and Lorraine, thank you so much.
38:43After the break, Karl and Ashley will face Henry's riddle run
38:45and we'll see how they cope under that pressure with all that cash that they've accumulated up for grabs.
38:50But first, Henry, let's have another riddle, but just like a gentle one.
38:54OK, well, this is a nice gentle one.
38:55Yes.
38:56I've got black feathers and you might have heard that I'm an all-night party kind of bird.
39:01I'll give you the answer when we come back from the break.
39:14Welcome back.
39:16This is ridiculous.
39:17Now, Henry, you set a sort of feathery version of a riddle.
39:20I certainly did.
39:22A feathery riddle.
39:23I've got black feathers and you might have heard that I'm an all-night party kind of bird.
39:27What am I?
39:28That's the riddle.
39:29Karl and Ashley, you're our champion riddle solvers for this episode.
39:33What do you think it is?
39:35A crow.
39:35We might have heard, yeah.
39:36I was thinking crow.
39:38Yeah, I don't know.
39:40You're saving yourselves for the final one.
39:42Yeah, yeah, yeah.
39:42I can understand.
39:43Not wasting the brain.
39:44No.
39:44Crow's not right, but perhaps a different bird with black feathers.
39:48Raven, yeah.
39:49Raven, of course.
39:49If you're partying all night, you are raven.
39:52Yeah.
39:53Does it remind you of your dating days?
39:56Yeah.
39:56Too old for that now.
39:57Different kind of music for us.
40:00Now, Ashley and Karl, you've got £2,375.
40:05Well done.
40:06How are you feeling?
40:08Excited.
40:09Good, yeah.
40:10Now you're engaged, aren't you?
40:12Yes.
40:12When's the wedding?
40:13In two weeks.
40:14Two weeks.
40:14Now, I couldn't believe that, right?
40:17Because who comes on a quiz show when they've got a wedding to plan in two weeks' time?
40:21That's absolutely hilarious.
40:23That's us.
40:24That's us, right.
40:25Let's take a look at the money.
40:26Well, I imagine this will come in very useful for a newly married couple.
40:29You've got £2,375 in your prize pot.
40:32What would you do with it if you managed to take it home?
40:35Honeymoon.
40:36Ah, lovely.
40:37Have you got anywhere in mind?
40:39We're thinking either a Caribbean cruise, because we do like a good cruise.
40:43Mmm.
40:44Or if we had one big, big money, then potentially the Maldives.
40:48You've got to get through Henry's riddle run, haven't you, first?
40:51Oh, absolutely.
40:51As you know, to take that money home.
40:54Henry, what is your riddle run exactly?
40:56So, in the riddle run, you're going to be facing puzzles in which words are represented by combinations of pictures
41:01and letters.
41:02They're often known as rebus riddles, and the answers are phrases or sayings or a combination of words that are
41:07familiar to all.
41:09Now, Carl and Ashley, the rules are simple.
41:12There are ten riddles in all, and you need six correct in 60 seconds to take home the money that
41:18you've built up so far.
41:19Now, if you're not sure about a particular riddle, just say pass, and then you can come back to it.
41:24And that's not all.
41:26If you do answer six correctly, you'll then have the chance to double your winnings and take home £4,750.
41:36Now, don't worry.
41:37If it all goes wrong, you'll still go home with our collectible teacup and saucer.
41:44First, though, you've got to face Henry's riddle run.
41:46Are you ready?
41:48Ready?
41:48Yeah.
41:49I'd rather be.
41:50Yeah.
41:51Henry, over to you.
41:52Here we go.
41:53Your 60 seconds will start as soon as the first riddle is revealed.
41:57Let's play.
41:59Fork in the road.
42:00Correct.
42:02Masterpiece.
42:03Correct.
42:03Hold on.
42:04Masterpiece.
42:05Er...
42:05Get it...
42:06Get it round...
42:08Forget it.
42:10Forget...
42:11Forget about it.
42:12Correct.
42:12Oh, yes.
42:13Erm...
42:14Like a...
42:16Gold feather duster.
42:17Like a gold feather duster.
42:18Like gold dust.
42:19Correct.
42:20Up in arms.
42:21Correct.
42:23Er...
42:23Double vice.
42:24Vice, advice.
42:26Correct.
42:26Oh!
42:29That was great.
42:31You didn't even know you'd done the last one.
42:34No, I love that.
42:36Advice.
42:36Advice.
42:36And then when it went off, you went, oh, yes!
42:39It's a novel way to complete the riddle run.
42:41But do you know what?
42:42It was brilliant to watch.
42:43Well done.
42:44You got six riddles correct, which means you've just won £2,375.
42:49Oh, amazing.
42:49That was great.
42:49That was a clean sweep right the way through.
42:51No passes at all.
42:52It's quite unusual, that.
42:53Karl and Ashley, you make a brilliant team.
42:55It's clear to see.
42:56And that means that you've managed to win £2,375.
43:01Now, if that's enough for you, we are delighted.
43:04And you can finish the game and you can leave with that money.
43:08Or you can choose to face one last riddle.
43:12Now, this time, you'll have just 20 seconds to give an answer.
43:15If you get it right, you will double your winnings and take away £4,750.
43:22But if you can't find the right answer in the time, you'll then lose everything.
43:27And then you'll leave with nothing apart from, of course, our teacup and saucer.
43:31So, what would you like to do?
43:35I do love the teacup and saucer, but we do really need a honeymoon fund.
43:40Yeah, OK.
43:41And to have it guaranteed.
43:43And plus, we were lucky on that last one.
43:46We got that.
43:47Yeah, but I still got it.
43:50You didn't know you got it, though.
43:51That's not the point.
43:52No, go on.
43:53I think we should take the money.
43:55OK.
43:55Are you happy with that?
43:56Yeah.
43:57He's like, no.
43:58Yeah, go on.
44:00OK, we're going to take the money, please.
44:02It's a difficult decision, isn't it?
44:04Because obviously, Carl has a sort of more competitive desire.
44:07Of course.
44:07Ashley, you're a bit more cautious.
44:09Logic.
44:10Yeah, a bit more logic.
44:11OK, well, listen, if that's your decision, we're happy for you.
44:14Carl and Ashley, well done.
44:14You're walking away with £2,375.
44:18Now, whether you like it or not.
44:21Let's find out.
44:23Was Carl overconfident or was Ashley overcautious?
44:26Let's see if you could have gone to the Maldives.
44:28Oh.
44:29In the final riddle, you would have had 20 seconds to answer this.
44:3320 seconds.
44:34What do you think?
44:35Bang.
44:35Out with a bang.
44:36Back with a bang.
44:37Green bang.
44:39Um...
44:40Backwards bang.
44:41Bang.
44:41No, it's bang.
44:42Bang out of order.
44:44Ah.
44:44Bang out of order is the right.
44:46Oh.
44:48You had a good 10 seconds left there or about 8 seconds left?
44:51Oh, my gosh.
44:51Yeah.
44:52I'm sorry.
44:52It's fine.
44:54Do you want to say that once more with feeling, Carl?
44:58It's fine.
44:59Carl and Ashley, we wish you all the best for your wedding in a couple of weeks' time
45:03and you walk away today with £2,375.
45:07Well done.
45:09Great show today.
45:11Bang out of order.
45:12I loved it.
45:13It was good, right?
45:13It was so good.
45:15It was so good.
45:16Right.
45:16OK.
45:17Thank you so much, Henry.
45:18Thank you for joining us at home.
45:19We'll see you next time for more Ridiculous Riddles.
45:22Thank you so much for watching from Madagascar.
45:52Amen.
