00:17Welcome to Ridiculous, the Ridiculously Clever Show,
00:20where three teams of riddle solvers take on our devious riddle master.
00:25Hello, Henry. Hello, Randy.
00:27Now, can you get us in the mood, Henry?
00:29You're looking a bit devilish to me, I have to say.
00:31Yeah, well, I've already got a riddle brewing.
00:32It's not even for prize money, this is just for fun, this one.
00:35And it's a pretty good one. I'm pleased with this one.
00:37I'm a stylish band, or a bird missing Ken, what am I?
00:43Not there yet.
00:44Give me 20 minutes. Have we got 20 minutes?
00:47I'll come back to you right at the end of the show.
00:48Right, listen, it's time to meet today's teams.
00:52Who's with us today?
00:53I'm Lisa, and this is my partner Liam, and we're from Bristol.
00:56I'm Amy, this is my mum Claire, and we're from the Wirral.
01:00I'm Safina, this is my husband Alex, and we're from Bolton.
01:03It's super to have you on the show, welcome.
01:06Now, before we get into it, okay, so we've got to think of a stylish band.
01:10I'm a stylish band, or a bird missing Ken.
01:13What am I?
01:14Bird missing Ken.
01:15Any ideas from our teams?
01:19Have I defeated everyone already?
01:21Yes.
01:21In minute two of the show.
01:23Yes.
01:23This is great news.
01:24So you're thinking of another word for stylish, presumably, that is also the name of a band that we know.
01:29McFly, Busted, The Beatles, The Foo Fighters, none of it, I don't know.
01:33None of them mean stylish.
01:34None of it is there.
01:35So think about the other bits, so it's nothing to do with Barbie.
01:37A bird missing Ken.
01:38Like a pelican.
01:40Pelican.
01:40You're on the right track.
01:42Toucan.
01:43A bird with...
01:44Guys, why are you all so silent?
01:46Help me out here.
01:47But it is specifically K-E-N.
01:49Think of a bird with K-E-N again.
01:51A chick.
01:53Chicken.
01:54Chic.
01:55The band Chic.
01:56Absolutely right, well done Chic, yeah.
01:58Yes, well done.
01:59So Chic being stylish, you call Chic the band, and Chicken without Ken is Chic.
02:03That is very, very clever.
02:05Thank you so much.
02:06And I think has set the tone for the show.
02:09I appreciate that you all look a bit worried now.
02:10And you're probably right to be.
02:12Shall I explain how this is all going to work?
02:14You are going to face a series of riddles from Henry,
02:17and in order to unlock each riddle,
02:19you'll first have to correctly answer three general knowledge questions.
02:25Now, in this round, questions from me are worth £25.
02:29How much are the riddles worth, Henry?
02:30Well, in this round, the riddles are simple round there,
02:33so they're worth £100 each.
02:34But they're the easiest ones you're going to face for the whole show,
02:37so you really want to be getting these first ones right.
02:40Right, OK.
02:40And we will be saying goodbye to one team at the end of this round,
02:44so every question is important.
02:48OK.
02:48Are you ready for some general knowledge questions?
02:50Yep.
02:51Yes.
02:51Fabulous.
02:52Get your hands ready by the buzzers.
02:53Here we go.
02:54Let's play.
02:57What abbreviated first name is used by the football manager,
03:01Joseph Guardiola?
03:03Amy and Claire?
03:05Pep.
03:05Correct.
03:06Well done.
03:08OK, here we go.
03:09Next question.
03:09You've got £25.
03:10In the film Jurassic Park, dinosaur blood is discovered
03:13inside a preserved specimen of which species of insect?
03:18Safina and Alex?
03:19A mosquito.
03:20Oh, yes.
03:21You know your films.
03:22Good answer.
03:22£25.
03:24The half of the earth north of the equator is known
03:27as the northern what?
03:29Safina and Alex?
03:30Hemisphere.
03:31Yes.
03:31Well done.
03:34Which of the three standard ingredients in a BLT sandwich
03:38is botanically a fruit?
03:41Amy and Claire?
03:43Tomato.
03:43Yes.
03:43Well done.
03:44Good stuff.
03:46Amy and Claire, you're now also just one question away
03:48from unlocking the first riddle.
03:50Which Irish sitcom has a Eurovision-themed episode featuring
03:54a song called My Lovely Horse?
03:57Amy and Claire?
03:58Father Ted?
03:59Yes.
04:00You're clearly a fan.
04:01You'd have to be a fan, I guess.
04:03Well done, Amy and Claire.
04:05Fantastic.
04:05Fast work on the buzzers.
04:07Mother and daughter?
04:08Yes.
04:09You're a close-knit family, aren't you?
04:10I understand.
04:11We are, yes.
04:11We're also very competitive.
04:13Whenever we play at home, we're always on the same team.
04:16So you don't play against each other?
04:18Together.
04:18Good.
04:19Well, then that's been really good as a preparation for Ridiculous today.
04:23Yes.
04:23Of course, you have a clue, should you need it.
04:26Henry, what have you got?
04:27Amy and Claire, good luck.
04:28Even though I'm the lowest of the low, I'm something you sit on wherever you go.
04:33What am I?
04:34Have you got any ideas?
04:35I was thinking you sit on a seat, you sit on a chair.
04:38But if it's the lowest of the low, it'll be low to the floor, surely?
04:42Maybe.
04:42A car, blanket, something the lowest of the low.
04:47Carpet.
04:49Wood.
04:50And a stool.
04:52Maybe it's the lowest of the low.
04:56Might have to use the clue already.
04:58Should we use the clue?
04:59Can we have a clue, please?
05:01Of course you can.
05:01The clue is, this one's a bit cheeky.
05:06Your bottom.
05:07Your bottom.
05:07Your bottom.
05:08Your bottom.
05:09Bottom.
05:09Bottom.
05:10Bottom.
05:11You've locked in bottom.
05:13Bottom.
05:15Say it again.
05:19Bottom is your answer.
05:21Yes.
05:24It's the right answer.
05:25Well done.
05:26Very good.
05:27Absolutely.
05:27Yes.
05:28The rudeness part of the deception.
05:32But it is the right answer.
05:33Absolutely.
05:33Of course, lowest of the low, something's at the bottom of something, it is the lowest of
05:36the low.
05:36And of course you sit on your bottom, and bottoms have cheeks.
05:39Well done.
05:40Very good.
05:41I like the way this game is going already.
05:43Brilliant.
05:44Okay, well done.
05:45So that is £100, but you used your clue.
05:48Should we keep playing?
05:49Hands by the buzzers.
05:50More general knowledge questions coming your way.
05:52Good luck.
05:53In England, the A2 runs between London and which major ferry port in Kent?
05:59Safina and Alex.
06:00Dover.
06:01Yes, correct.
06:02Well done.
06:04Founded in September 1995, which retail website was originally named auctionware?
06:13Safina and Alex.
06:14eBay.
06:15Correct.
06:16Right, Safina and Alex, you're just one correct answer away.
06:19From unlocking the second riddle.
06:21Good luck.
06:22Usually seen at Halloween, what name is given to a lamp made from a hollowed out pumpkin?
06:29Safina and Alex.
06:31It's a jack-o'-lantern.
06:32Yes, it is.
06:33Good stuff.
06:35Well, basically you didn't give anyone else a chance then.
06:38Sorry.
06:39No, well you're not really that sorry either.
06:40No.
06:40I understand you're very competitive, is this right?
06:43Yeah, you are.
06:44Yeah, I am.
06:44I am.
06:45Husband and wife?
06:46Yes.
06:46Yes, lovely.
06:47And I understand it wasn't love at first sight but it was love at first sound.
06:51Yeah, apparently it's the strong Scottish accent that got on.
06:55Well, you make a very lovely couple.
06:57Good luck.
06:58Here we go.
06:58Good luck indeed.
07:00If I sound rather touched, it's because people like my material.
07:04I provide artists with great tips to add a bit of colour to their work.
07:09What am I?
07:12If I sound rather touched, it's because people like my material.
07:16I mean, provide artists with great tips.
07:18That's like pens or brushes.
07:20Yeah.
07:21Or pencils.
07:22But if I...
07:23To add a bit of colour to their work.
07:25If it's to add a bit of colour, let's say a paintbrush.
07:29If I sound rather touched.
07:30If I sound rather touched.
07:32It's because people like my material.
07:34What material do people like touching?
07:37People like touching all sorts, don't they?
07:39I don't know.
07:39I love that Lisa and Liam are chatting away, though.
07:41They can figure it out.
07:42They speak a bit louder.
07:45LAUGHTER
07:46Add a bit of colour and just...
07:48If I sound rather touched...
07:51Honestly, this paintbrush just keeps coming into my head.
07:54I don't think that's the right answer.
07:55I think we just go for brush.
07:57It doesn't feel like we're getting this one.
07:59I don't want to use Chloe at this stage.
08:01What are you looking in for Henry?
08:03Brush.
08:04A brush.
08:05Yeah.
08:05Yeah.
08:08I'm afraid it's the wrong answer.
08:10Do the other teams have any ideas?
08:13Yeah.
08:13We thought maybe felt.
08:14Felt.
08:15Great tips.
08:16We thought great tips, felt tips.
08:18If it's right, I'm quite surprised I've got a riddle right, actually.
08:22Because it's material as well.
08:24Maybe felt.
08:25It sounds right.
08:25Oh.
08:26It is right.
08:27Absolutely, yeah.
08:28Felt.
08:28Well done.
08:28You were saying pens earlier.
08:29You got quite close to felt tip pens.
08:31But yeah, so there's three parts to this.
08:33If I sound rather touched, something's been felt.
08:35It's because people like my material.
08:37Felt, of course, as a type of material.
08:38And of course, artists with felt tip pens would add a bit of colour to their work.
08:43So yeah, three different things that you had to get there all together, yeah.
08:46Great work by Claire there and Amy, but I'm afraid no spoils for any of you in this one.
08:52Okay, we've got two more riddles to unlock.
08:54So, plenty more money in the game.
08:56Hands by the buzzers.
08:57Here we go.
08:58What term is used for a house that is connected to another similar house on one side?
09:04Lisa and Liam?
09:05Terraced.
09:06No, incorrect.
09:08What term?
09:09Amy and Claire?
09:10Semi-detect.
09:11Yes.
09:13Renegades born in the USA is a podcast featuring conversations.
09:17Lisa and Liam?
09:18Bruce Springsteen?
09:20Incorrect.
09:21Renegades born in the USA is a podcast featuring conversations between Bruce Springsteen and
09:26which US president?
09:29Amy and Claire?
09:30Barack Obama?
09:31It is Barack Obama.
09:33One question away from unlocking the third riddle.
09:36Well done, Amy and Claire.
09:37Which farm animal is called a schwein in German?
09:42Lisa and Liam?
09:43Pig.
09:43Yes.
09:44£25 to Lisa and Liam.
09:46Well done.
09:47Which supersonic passenger plane flew its final commercial flight on the 24th of October
09:522003?
09:54Amy and Claire?
09:55Concord.
09:56Yes, correct.
09:56Well done.
09:59So you've already used your clue.
10:01Yes.
10:02Going into this, clueless.
10:04I'm afraid.
10:05Here's your riddle.
10:06I'm a tale told by singers with great vocal precision.
10:11Add soap to me and I'm on your television.
10:14What am I?
10:15Opera.
10:16They do great vocal precision in the opera.
10:19Add soap to me and I'm your television.
10:21I'm on your television.
10:23Soap opera.
10:24Soap opera.
10:24Well done.
10:25Yeah.
10:26Opera.
10:27Opera.
10:28Yes.
10:29Amy, tell me why.
10:30Because singers that sing with vocal precision are in the opera and then soap operas on the
10:36telly.
10:38Absolutely right.
10:38Well done, yes.
10:40Fantastic.
10:41You've got both parts of that.
10:42Brilliant.
10:42Of course, opera singers, vocal precision, soap operas on telly.
10:45Very good.
10:47Great storyline for you so far.
10:49You're doing well.
10:50That's another £100 in the prize pot for you.
10:53You seem relieved, Amy.
10:55You sort of gave a big sigh of relief.
10:57You're pleased with yourself.
10:58Yeah.
10:59I just don't trust myself.
11:00You don't trust yourself.
11:01Well, you should.
11:02Very good.
11:02Right.
11:03Okay.
11:03There's one more riddle left in this opening round.
11:05Here we go.
11:06The tomb of which Egyptian pharaoh was Lisa and Liam?
11:10Tutankhamun.
11:11Yes.
11:11Well done.
11:12£25 to Lisa and Liam.
11:13The full question was, the tomb of which Egyptian pharaoh was discovered by Howard Carter
11:18in 1922?
11:20What colour is the Teletubby Tinky Winky?
11:23Safina and Alex.
11:25Green.
11:25Nope.
11:27Lisa and Liam.
11:28Purple.
11:29Yes.
11:31In the acronym BOG OFF, often used in retail, what does the letter F stand for?
11:37Lisa and Liam.
11:38Buy one get one free.
11:40Yes.
11:40We can accept that.
11:41Well done.
11:43Well, out of nowhere, you're now about to face Henry.
11:46Tell me a bit about your relationship.
11:48We met at work.
11:50Yeah.
11:50Cat mum and dad.
11:51What are they called?
11:53Trini and Neo.
11:54Matrix themed there.
11:55That's lovely.
11:56And who's more competitive out of the two of you?
11:58Liam.
11:59That's lovely for me.
12:00OK.
12:00Well, listen, this is a time to test that.
12:03This is critical, guys, because you have £100 in your prize pot.
12:07Safina and Alex have £125.
12:09So, if you get this, £100, you're through into the next round.
12:12If you don't get this, you're going home.
12:13Safina and Alex, all you can do is watch from the sidelines and see if Lisa and Liam
12:17are going to get this right.
12:19Good luck.
12:19We're students who help people look good, but we slip up if spun around.
12:26What are we?
12:26Students who help people look good.
12:27So, students who help people look good.
12:29Graphic designers?
12:30Like, something like that.
12:31Help people look good.
12:34Um, dressings, slip up if spun around.
12:37What are we?
12:39Students.
12:40Who helps people to look good?
12:43Make-up artists.
12:44Make-up.
12:45Yeah.
12:46We slip up if we spun around.
12:48Use a clue.
12:49What slip up if...
12:50Yes, we'll use it.
12:51We'll use a clue if that's okay.
12:52Of course.
12:53The clue is, this riddle is a bit of an eye-opener.
12:56Eye-opener.
12:58Um.
12:59Students who help people look good.
13:01Fashion.
13:03What's the students?
13:04Student.
13:04Is the word in the...
13:06Students who help people look good, but slip up.
13:09Is it something to do with the word?
13:11If you spin the word around.
13:12Pupils.
13:13Out of nowhere, Henry.
13:15Lisa, tell us why.
13:16I think I was looking at the make-up side of things,
13:18and then I remember that if you read the clue more thoroughly...
13:24Always wise.
13:25...it's telling you that something needs to be spun around
13:27or turned around and look at the words itself.
13:31And people look good.
13:32The students who help people look good would be to do with eyes.
13:35And so the answer you're locking in is...
13:37Pupils.
13:40Pupils.
13:40Now, if pupils is right, you're through to the next round.
13:45If it's wrong, you're going home.
13:50It's the right answer.
13:53What the heck?
13:55So you're right, the second part is key, of course.
13:57Students, of course, pupils help you look good or see well.
14:01Pupils in your eyes would help you do that.
14:03And, of course, the linguistic bit that you got very brilliantly
14:05at the end there, Lisa.
14:06If you spin around, slip up, you get the word pupils, yeah.
14:10Great riddle.
14:11Good one.
14:12Great stuff.
14:13Well done, Lisa and Liam.
14:14That's £100 in your prize pot.
14:18Well, that was an exciting round, wasn't it?
14:21And things changed so much.
14:23So, teams, at the end of that round, Amy and Claire, you have £350.
14:28Lisa and Liam, you have £200.
14:31And Safina and Alex, you have £125.
14:35You were so quick on the buzzer as well with your general knowledge.
14:38It's such a shame.
14:39Alex and Safina, it means sadly we have to say goodbye.
14:42Yeah.
14:42Thank you for having us.
14:43No, it's been lovely to have you on the show.
14:45Thank you so much.
14:47Great work from Lisa and Liam.
14:48That was very exciting.
14:49OK.
14:49So, that's it.
14:50What a cracker.
14:52Extraordinary.
14:53Fantastic work.
14:53Brilliant work.
14:54Do you have another riddle for us?
14:55I certainly do.
14:56Take us into the break.
14:57I sound as though I might enjoy a spell by the sea, but I'm actually part of an afternoon tea.
15:02What am I?
15:02I'll give you the answer after the break.
15:15Welcome back.
15:16Now, before the break, Henry set you another riddle at home.
15:19Certainly did.
15:19I asked, I sound as though I might enjoy a spell by the sea, but I'm actually part of an
15:24afternoon tea.
15:25What am I?
15:26Rambi?
15:27Yes.
15:28Amy and Claire.
15:29Lisa and Liam, I'm just going to pass this on if you don't mind.
15:31Any thoughts, teams?
15:33I don't know.
15:34No.
15:35A tricky one.
15:37Lisa, Liam, any ideas?
15:38Well, afternoon tea is like scones and cream and...
15:41Thinking more food.
15:42But, spell by the sea would be more like a vacation or a holiday.
15:45Ooh.
15:46It...
15:47Sandwich.
15:48I don't know.
15:48Or is it something to do with the way you spell sea?
15:50I don't know.
15:51I don't know.
15:52Who might cast a spell?
15:54Witch.
15:55Witch.
15:56And what do you have by the sea?
15:57Oh.
15:58Sandwich.
15:59Sandwich.
16:00Sandwich.
16:01Sandwich.
16:02Sandwich.
16:02That's a great one.
16:03If you're a sandwich, you'd cast a spell by the sea.
16:05And you have sandwiches as part of your afternoon tea.
16:07It's easy when you know them, isn't it?
16:09You're the wizard of the riddles though, aren't you?
16:11Well, indeed.
16:12Lovely stuff.
16:13And listen, I just want to know a little bit about you, Claire.
16:15I understand, confession time, there is another man in your life.
16:19There is.
16:20Barry Manilow.
16:21Right.
16:21I've loved him for about 40 years.
16:24I'm not ashamed.
16:26There's no judgement here.
16:28It's a safe space for you, Claire.
16:30Tell us a bit about your obsession with Barry.
16:32It started about 40 years ago, and I just love the music.
16:36I've seen him about 10 or 11 times, and he's amazing.
16:41How does your good husband feel about this obsession?
16:44He doesn't like him as much as I do.
16:47That's a very diplomatic answer.
16:49Right, shall we take a look at your scores so far?
16:52Lisa and Liam, you've got £200.
16:54Amy and Claire, you've got £350.
16:56It's actually not that different between the two of you,
16:58and it is time for round two now.
17:00In this round, correct general knowledge answers are worth £50.
17:05You do need three correct answers to unlock a riddle.
17:08The riddles are quite different, aren't they, Henry?
17:10They certainly are.
17:11In this round, you're going to be facing visual riddles.
17:13As you might expect, they contain pictures,
17:15but also numbers, shapes and words.
17:17They're a little bit trickier, but because they're trickier,
17:19they're worth £200 each in this round.
17:21Yeah, exactly.
17:22And, of course, only one member of each team will be able to answer,
17:25and you'll have just 60 seconds to get it right.
17:28Also, in this round, if you actually get your riddle wrong,
17:32then it will be passed over to the opposing team for a steal.
17:35So, it's all very exciting, and things can change really quickly.
17:38But, of course, you do need to get your hands by the buzzers,
17:41because we've got lots of general knowledge questions coming your way.
17:44So, if you're ready, let's play.
17:49The Principality Stadium, formerly known as the Millennium Stadium,
17:52is in which city?
17:53Amy and Claire.
17:54Cardiff.
17:55Correct. Well done. You're up and running.
17:57£50.
17:58Which musicians' albums include Rude Box, I've Been Expecting You,
18:03and Amy and Claire?
18:05Robbie Williams.
18:06Yes.
18:06And also, Life Through a Lens.
18:09You're one correct answer away from unlocking the first visual riddle.
18:12Which animal is depicted on the logo of the animal rights organisation?
18:17Peter.
18:18Amy and Claire.
18:19Panda.
18:20Incorrect.
18:21Which animal is depicted on the logo of the animal rights organisation?
18:25Peter.
18:27Lisa and Liam.
18:28A rabbit.
18:28It is, yes.
18:29Good answer.
18:31£50 to you.
18:32What surname is shared by Geraldine in the TV sitcom The Vicar of Dibley
18:38and Hermione in the Harry Potter books?
18:41Lisa and Liam.
18:42Granger.
18:43Correct. Well done.
18:44So, at this stage, whoever answers the next question correctly from me
18:50will unlock the first visual riddle of this round.
18:54Good luck to both teams.
18:55There are how many different colours of dots on a twister mat?
19:01BUZZER
19:01Lisa and Liam.
19:02Four.
19:03Yes. Well done.
19:04Really good answer.
19:05Red, blue, green and yellow.
19:08Right.
19:08So, you've got a couple of decisions to make here.
19:10You know only one of you can do it.
19:12Do you want to take a look at the categories?
19:14So, you've got letters, shapes and animals.
19:17What are you thinking?
19:18Do you think shapes?
19:20Er, yeah.
19:20I'll go for shapes, if that's OK.
19:22Shapes.
19:23Good luck.
19:24Henry, over to you.
19:25Thanks, Ranbir.
19:26Liam, you've got 60 seconds to give me a correct answer
19:28after I've finished reading the riddle that goes with this.
19:32What number is missing?
19:34Your time starts now.
19:36OK.
19:37So, I'm looking at the first shape as a square, which is a four.
19:40The second has seven sides, so it's a seven.
19:43Six, three, eight, four.
19:46So, three, five, 35.
19:49You're locking in 35?
19:51Yeah.
19:53And if you get this right, it will put you into the lead.
19:58And it is right, Liam.
20:00200 pounds.
20:01Well done.
20:0235, absolutely right.
20:03As you correctly said, yeah.
20:04So, the outer shape gives you the first number.
20:06So, four in the first case, six in the second case and so on.
20:09And the inner shape gives you the second number.
20:11So, seven, three, four.
20:12You correctly identified.
20:14Yeah, absolutely.
20:14Triangle and a pentagon gives you 35.
20:16Well done, Liam.
20:18That's 200 pounds.
20:20You're now 100 pounds in the lead.
20:22But as you know, Amy and Claire, this lead can change so quickly.
20:26So, good luck to both teams.
20:27Here we go.
20:28Someone with what occupation might be referred to as a shutterbug
20:33or a snapper?
20:36Amy and Claire.
20:36Photographer.
20:37Yes, indeed.
20:38Well done.
20:40In 2023, Katie Bolter became British number one in which sport?
20:46Amy and Claire.
20:47Tennis?
20:47Yes, correct.
20:48Well done.
20:49£50 to Amy and Claire.
20:50And you're neck and neck, £550 in both pots now.
20:54In standard Windows operating systems,
20:57the command control plus C performs which function?
21:01Lisa and Liam.
21:03Copy.
21:03Indeed.
21:04Well done.
21:06In the mnemonic, Richard of York gave battle in vain
21:10which colour is represented by an English city?
21:14Amy and Claire.
21:15Yellow.
21:16Yes, very good.
21:17I could see that your mum was trying to go through it
21:19and she was nodding her way through it.
21:20But you got that.
21:21Very well done.
21:22And look at what that means.
21:23You're both on 600 pounds.
21:25But more importantly, of course, you're about to face a visual riddle.
21:30The two categories that are left are letters and animals.
21:35I'll take letters.
21:36You're going to take letters.
21:37Well done.
21:38Good luck, Amy.
21:39You'll have 60 seconds to give me a correct answer
21:40after I finish reading the riddle that goes with this.
21:43Which of the following letter combinations doesn't belong in the group?
21:47Your time starts now.
21:52Um...
21:54Which of the following letter combinations doesn't belong in the group?
21:58Could be cities.
21:59Could be...
22:02Um...
22:04It could be a letter that goes in between.
22:08Which of the following letter combinations doesn't belong?
22:17Um...
22:18You've got 30 seconds left.
22:27Uh...
22:28I'm going to have to guess.
22:29Um...
22:30DK.
22:31No idea.
22:33You're locking in DK?
22:34Yeah.
22:35It's the wrong answer.
22:37OK.
22:38Lisa and Liam, no more thinking time for you.
22:40What's your answer for Henry Frist Steele?
22:44S-A?
22:45S-A.
22:46Why do you think it's S-A?
22:47Complete guess.
22:49It's wrong, I'm afraid.
22:50Ah.
22:51Right.
22:51Well, you flummoxed everybody.
22:53Defeated everybody.
22:54Yes.
22:54So, I mean, yeah, it's tricky.
22:55All the letters represent words.
22:57If I tell you that, does anyone have any more idea on what it might be?
23:00Oh!
23:01If you say it out loud, like icy and empty.
23:03Exactly.
23:04Every single one is a word.
23:06So icy, empty, S-A, decay.
23:09Ah.
23:10And K-J is the odd one out, because it doesn't make a word.
23:15Gosh.
23:15Right, nobody won any money on that one, though.
23:17But never mind, let's keep playing.
23:19Time for some more general knowledge.
23:21The British Heart Foundation recommends when doing chest compressions on an adult, pushing
23:27in time to the beat of which song?
23:29Amy and Claire.
23:30Stayin' Alive.
23:31It is, isn't it?
23:32Exactly.
23:32With the song by the Bee Gees.
23:34So after first calling 999, then do Stayin' Alive.
23:37It's a really great way to remember such a life-saving technique.
23:39Well done.
23:40£50 to Amy and Claire.
23:42Which dog breed is crossed with a chihuahua to create a chug?
23:48Amy and Claire.
23:49Pug?
23:49Yes, exactly.
23:51£50 to Amy and Claire.
23:53Bernard Cribbins played Station Master Mr Perks in which classic children's film?
23:59Lisa and Liam.
24:01The Roway Children.
24:02Yes, very good.
24:04What five letters follow Anna, Minia and Indiana in the names of cities?
24:11Lisa and Liam.
24:12Soter.
24:14Incorrect.
24:15What five letters?
24:17Amy and Claire.
24:18P-O-L-I-S.
24:20Yes.
24:20Great work.
24:22All names of cities in the USA.
24:25So we have Annapolis, Minneapolis and Indianapolis.
24:29Now, Amy and Claire, here you are again.
24:31Shall we take a look at what is left for you?
24:35You have animals.
24:36Shall I try it?
24:38Yeah.
24:38I'll try it.
24:39Claire, you look nervous.
24:41I'm normally terrible at riddles.
24:43Do it for Barry.
24:45Do it for Barry!
24:4660 seconds to give me a correct answer, Claire, once I've read the riddle that goes with this.
24:50Which animal doesn't live at this zoo?
24:53Your time starts now.
24:55Right, I'm going to say these out aloud.
24:56We've got a monkey, tortoise, wolf, lion, tiger, flamingo, snake.
25:07Erm.
25:10Is it a raccoon?
25:14Snake.
25:20Erm.
25:21Okay.
25:23Tortoise, wolf, lion.
25:25You've got 30 seconds left.
25:28Later Sunday.
25:32Trying to think of the letters in the name.
25:36Monkey, tortoise, wolf.
25:43You've got 10 seconds.
25:45Lock something in.
25:46I will lock lion in.
25:49Lion?
25:51Yes.
25:52Why do you think lion, Claire?
25:54I thought there was no reasoning behind it.
25:57I just thought it's in the middle.
25:57I'll go for the lion.
25:59It's in the middle?
26:00Yes.
26:00That's how hard your riddles are.
26:03It's in the middle.
26:06So a bit of a guess.
26:07Yes.
26:09Claire, it's a very good guess.
26:11It's the right answer.
26:12What?
26:13Yeah, absolutely.
26:14But I think we may have to go to Lisa and Liam to find out why.
26:17Are you compounding their pain?
26:19I am, I'm sorry.
26:20No cash available obviously for the explanation on its own.
26:22But why is that right, guys?
26:24Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
26:28So we've got monkey, turtle, Monday, Tuesday,
26:31wolf, Wednesday, lion, no day, tiger, Thursday,
26:35flamingo, Friday, snake, Saturday and skunk, Sunday.
26:38Oh.
26:39Absolutely right.
26:40Very good, Lisa.
26:41Of course, the hidden clue there is the open every day.
26:44Monday to Sunday is there.
26:45Yes.
26:45Hidden above on the sign, isn't it?
26:46And yeah, absolutely, lion's the only one there that doesn't fit.
26:50Yes.
26:50Very good work by Claire.
26:51I mean, just instinct, I guess.
26:53Or guesswork.
26:54£200 to Amy and Claire.
26:57Fantastic.
26:58So teams, at the end of that round, Amy and Claire have £950.
27:02Lisa and Liam, you have £650.
27:05But of course, all of that can change in the next round.
27:08So, time for a break.
27:09Henry, let's hear another riddle.
27:11A marvellous idea.
27:11This single sound, when heard, really gets on people's nerves.
27:16What is it?
27:17I'll give you the answer after the break.
27:29Welcome back to Ridiculous, the ridiculously clever and brain-teasing show.
27:33Now, before the break, did you manage to solve this riddle from Henry?
27:39This single sound, when heard, really gets on people's nerves.
27:43What is it?
27:44Any ideas from our fantastic teams?
27:47Hmm.
27:48I'm thinking maybe a tick.
27:50Tick isn't quite right.
27:52Hmm.
27:52Randa, what do you think?
27:53When I give you an answer and you go,
27:55Nope.
27:56It's an annoying sound that gets on my nerve.
28:00Nope.
28:01OK.
28:01Well, the correct answer is a noise.
28:03Because, obviously, a sound is a noise.
28:06But also, a noise annoys you.
28:08Oh, yes.
28:09Very good.
28:10Very good.
28:11Very good.
28:11Right.
28:12OK.
28:12Lovely stuff.
28:13Right.
28:13Well done, teams.
28:14You're doing a very good job of making us very competitive between you.
28:17Quite well matched in lots of ways, aren't you?
28:20Have you been practicing hard?
28:21Yeah, I practice.
28:22I watch an episode every single night.
28:24Of Ridiculous?
28:25Yeah.
28:26Every night in bed on my iPad.
28:28Brilliant.
28:28This is the kind of commitment we like from our contestants.
28:31Well done.
28:32Right.
28:32So far, your prize pots stand at £650 and £950.
28:37But this is where the competition gets serious.
28:41As the team with the highest prize pot at the end of this round will be going through
28:47to the final to face Henry's riddle run.
28:51This time, correct questions from me are worth £100.
28:56How much are the riddles now worth?
28:58Well, it's the deciding round.
28:59So these are the hardest riddles you've faced yet.
29:01And they're worth £300 each if you can get them right.
29:04If you're ready, deep breaths.
29:06Let's play.
29:18Lisa and Liam.
29:20France.
29:21Incorrect.
29:22Cape Trafalgar, where Horatio Nelson led naval forces to victory in 1805, is off the
29:27south-west coast of which country?
29:30Amy and Claire.
29:32Spain.
29:32You're absolutely right.
29:36So the first £100 of this round to Amy and Claire.
29:39The dish, eggs florentine, typically includes which leafy green vegetable?
29:44Lisa and Liam.
29:45Spinach.
29:45Yes.
29:46Lovely answer.
29:47£100 to you guys.
29:49Next question.
29:50Who is sitting in the middle of the table in Leonardo da Vinci's painting, The Last
29:54Supper?
29:55Lisa and Liam.
29:56Jesus.
29:57Correct.
29:58You're one correct answer away from unlocking a high-value riddle in this deciding round.
30:06Often used as a humorous term for male cyclists, the acronym MAMIL stands for middle-aged men
30:14in.
30:15What?
30:16Lisa and Liam.
30:17Lycra.
30:18Yes, that is right.
30:19What brand of synthetic fabric?
30:22Lycra it is.
30:24So, Lisa and Liam, you've unlocked the riddle.
30:27Henry, over to you.
30:29Oh, this is such a rollercoaster guy.
30:31I mean, if there's one thing you guys could do, it's sneak up behind.
30:34Yeah.
30:35Yeah, it's amazing.
30:36Great.
30:36Well, if you get this, you'll be in the lead again.
30:38So, good luck.
30:40I'll protect your ideas as long as you do exactly the same as others do and don't go
30:45left.
30:46What am I?
30:47So, if others are going left and you're going right, the second word could be right.
30:55I'll protect your ideas as long as you do exactly the same.
30:58Doing exactly the same is copying.
31:00Protecting your ideas is copyright.
31:02So.
31:03What are you locking in?
31:04Copyright.
31:06Copyright.
31:09If this is right, you will take the lead.
31:15It is right.
31:15Well done.
31:17Copyright.
31:17The right answer.
31:18Of course, copyright your ideas.
31:19You protect your ideas by copywriting them.
31:21If you copy, you do the same as someone else.
31:24And instead of turning left, you turn right.
31:26Well done.
31:27That was excellent.
31:28Speedy work, Liam.
31:29Well done.
31:30£300.
31:32Well, as you said, that now means you're in the lead.
31:35But of course, we've still got two more high value riddles here.
31:38The lead is changing back and forth all the way through this game.
31:42It's very exciting to watch.
31:43Good luck to both teams.
31:44Hands by the buzzers.
31:46Here we go.
31:46In 2024, which politician became the first woman to be appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer

31:57Well done.
32:00Which Olympic sport is played with the lightest ball?
32:05Amy and Claire.

32:07Incorrect.
32:09Which Olympics?
32:09Lisa and Liam.
32:10Ping pong.
32:11Correct.
32:12Or table tennis we would have taken.
32:13That's another £100 to Lisa and Liam.
32:17The Brandenburg Gate is in which German city?
32:20Amy and Claire.
32:21Munich.
32:22Okay.
32:22Incorrect.

32:28Yes, correct.
32:28Well done.
32:29£100 to you.

32:39language film to win Best Picture Oscar?

32:45Great knowledge.
32:48In which of Shakespeare's history plays does the title character deliver the line,
32:55A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse?
32:59Amy and Claire.
33:00Richard III.
33:01Yes.
33:02Oh my goodness.
33:04That was tense.
33:05I'm afraid the tension continues though.
33:08£100 to Amy and Claire.
33:09So, there is a £300 riddle that you now have to try and crack.
33:15There is, of course, a steal available for half the value.
33:19Henry, anything can happen.
33:21I know.
33:22Sifris.
33:22Pretty exciting.
33:23Very close.
33:24Be good to get this one, guys.
33:26I'm on some people's heads or seen floating on water.
33:30Some say I'm the brother of the mother of their son or their daughter.
33:35What is my name?
33:37Well, the brother of the mother is the uncle.
33:42I'm on some people's heads, but you haven't got uncle on heads.
33:46What else floats in water?
33:48The bus scene floating on water.
33:51Erm, I was thinking hair.
33:54You've got hair on your heads.
33:56Well, the brother of the mother could be an heir like H-E-I-R.
33:59That's what I was thinking.
34:02Lisa and Liam deep in conversation.
34:04Brother of the mother.
34:06Some people's heads.
34:09Hat.
34:10Hat, clip.
34:12Erm, bobble.
34:15Bob.
34:15Bob.
34:16Do you think it could be Bob?
34:18Oh, my God.
34:18Bob.
34:19Should we try?
34:20We'll try Bob.
34:22Bob?
34:23Yes.
34:23Talk us through your thinking there.
34:24Because some people, their haircut is a bob.
34:27You can bob on the water and the brother might be called Bob.
34:33That's a bit loose.
34:34A loose link to the brother, but we'll go for it.
34:38You correctly identified that it was an uncle.
34:40Uncle?
34:41Bob's your uncle?
34:42Oh, my God.
34:43Bob's your uncle?
34:43Bob's your uncle.
34:44There we go.
34:45You got the whole thing.
34:46Bob was the right answer.
34:47Well done, absolutely, of course, yeah.
34:48Bob's your uncle.
34:49There you go, Bob's your uncle.
34:51Riddle solved.
34:51Very good.
34:53£300 to Amy and Claire.
34:57It all comes down to this.
34:59Good luck.

35:20One away from unlocking the final riddle in this round.
35:25Which survey-based game show has been hosted by...
35:29Amy and Claire.
35:30Family Fortunes.
35:31By Bob Monkhouse, Les Dennis and Gino De Campo.
35:35Is family fortunes.
35:37Fantastic work, my goodness.
35:39Amy and Claire.
35:40Here we are again.
35:41Henry.
35:42Here it comes.
35:43I'll make this quick.
35:45Here are your instructions.
35:46If I'm ahead of the case, then I'm in business.
35:48What am I?
35:49I think I know it.
35:51Do you?
35:51Talk me through it.
35:52I think if you make this quick, it's brief.
35:54Ahead of the case is a brief case.
35:57And that is in business.
35:58Instructions and briefing.
35:59Yep.
36:00So I think...
36:01But remember, don't say the wrong one.
36:03Right.
36:03I'll make this quick.
36:05If I'm ahead of the case...
36:07So it's just brief.
36:08Brief.
36:09Can we lock in brief?
36:11You're locking in brief.
36:12Tell us why.
36:12Brief is to make something quick.
36:16Your instructions, as Amy said, you give a briefing.
36:19And if you're ahead of case, you would have a brief case.
36:24Brief is the right answer.
36:26Well done, Claire.
36:27Earlier on, I think you said you would be surprised if you got any riddles right.
36:30That's really good.
36:31And you've absolutely blasted through this round.
36:33Well done, yeah.
36:33Thank you. Fantastic brief.
36:34Fantastic stuff.
36:35Well done.
36:36That is £300 to Amy and Claire.
36:40And after that round, congratulations, Amy and Claire.
36:44You are through to the final with a prize pot of £2,250.
36:49And Lisa and Liam, gosh, you gave them such a good game all the way to the end.
36:55You had £1,450, which of course does mean it is time to say goodbye to Lisa and Liam.
37:01But my goodness, you can hold your heads up high.
37:03Have you enjoyed being in the show as opposed to just watching it at home?
37:07Great. Very different, but great.
37:09Yeah, well, it's been great to get to know you.
37:11Thank you so much for being on the show and creating such a competitive show today.
37:14We've really enjoyed it.
37:16Well done to Amy and Claire.
37:17They're not going to face Henry's riddle run and we'll see how they cope under that pressure
37:22with all that cash that they've accumulated up for grabs.
37:25Yeah.
37:25Do you have another riddle for it?
37:26I certainly do.
37:27I'm a bird and a fruit and a person to boot.
37:30What am I?
37:31I'll give you the answer after this.
37:44Welcome back.
37:45This is Ridiculous.
37:46And Henry, I was working very hard during the break.
37:49You were?
37:50To try and solve this, because I've got to try.
37:52So, let's see if you've got it at home.
37:53Yes.
37:53I'm a bird and a fruit and a person to boot.
37:56What am I?
37:57Ranvir, do you feel you've got it?
37:58I spent my entire time going through every fruit I've ever heard of.
38:01And with a bit of help from Amy and Claire, what did we come up with?
38:05Kiwi.
38:05We came up with kiwi.
38:07Kiwi.
38:07Absolutely right, of course.
38:08Yeah, kiwi.
38:09Kiwi bird, kiwi fruit.
38:10And of course, a person from New Zealand would be called a kiwi.
38:13And as well, also in there, another little clue, the capital of New Zealand is Wellington,
38:18of course.
38:18Wellington boots and boots in there to give you a little bit of help as well.
38:22Oh, stop it.
38:23That's very, very clever.
38:25He's very good, isn't he?
38:26Have you been impressed with our Riddle Master?
38:28Yeah.
38:28Very.
38:29And you've watched so many.
38:30Amy, it's paid off.
38:31All those hours you've spent watching the show back.
38:34Yeah.
38:35All of that hard work has paid off because so far you've managed to accrue a very impressive
38:40£2,250.
38:43So what would that money go on if you managed to take it home?
38:46Well, my little sister's always wanted to go to America because she wants to try out
38:51all the fast food places there.
38:53Yes, same as my son.
38:54Yes.
38:54So I said I'll put my money towards us going over.
38:58You're a gorgeous sister.
38:59She wishes she could be here because she said she's better than us.
39:02Oh, well.
39:04So you're thinking of putting family first.
39:06Claire, what about you?
39:07I'd probably give it to Millie as well.
39:09That's not what you told us.
39:10No, hang on.
39:11Don't you try and make yourself look good.
39:13I can't remember what I told you.
39:14You wanted to go to Las Vegas.
39:16I'd go to Las Vegas.
39:18America.
39:18That's the real reason to go to America, isn't it?
39:21It's a secret Barry Manilow trip.
39:23What she wants is one of those backstage passes to go.
39:27Have you ever met him?
39:28No, you can pay a couple of thousand pounds for a platinum experience.
39:32Do you know how much you've got in the prize box?
39:35How convenient!
39:36Well, he gives the money to charity.
39:38He buys musical instruments for schools.
39:40Don't try and pretend you're doing this for charitable causes.
39:43Anyway, we wish you both well.
39:45Because you've both been fantastic contestants.
39:47You've worked brilliantly together.
39:49To take that brilliant amount of money home,
39:51you obviously now have to face Henry's riddle run.
39:55Henry, can you just talk us through what your riddle run is?
39:58You certainly can.
39:59So, in the riddle run, you will face puzzles
40:01in which words are represented by a combination of pictures and letters.
40:05They're often known as rebus riddles,
40:06and the answers are phrases, sayings,
40:08or a combination of words that are familiar to all.
40:11So, Amy and Claire, the rules are simple.
40:13There are ten riddles in all,
40:15and you need six of them correct in 60 seconds
40:20to take home the money that you've built up so far.
40:22If you're not sure about a particular riddle,
40:26then just say pass, and you can come back to it later.
40:29And that's not all.
40:30If you do answer six correctly,
40:33you'll then have the chance to double your winnings
40:35and take home £4,500.
40:39But don't worry.
40:40If something did go wrong,
40:42you would still go home with our collectible teacup and saucer.
40:46I'd be happy with that.
40:50First, though, we want you to take home a lot more than that.
40:54Are you ready for Henry's riddle run?
40:57I think so.
40:58Good luck. Henry, over to you.
41:00Thank you, Ranbir.
41:01Six riddles in 60 seconds stand between you
41:03and the Barry Manilow platinum experience.
41:07Good luck, guys.
41:08Your time starts as soon as your first riddle is revealed.
41:12Let's play.
41:14Eight nerves.
41:15Eight nerves.
41:16On the last nerve.
41:17Bag of nerves.
41:18Correct.
41:20Um...
41:21Ground.
41:22Background.
41:23Background.
41:23Correct.
41:24Um...
41:25Bullet holes.
41:26Um...
41:27Tued a bullet.
41:28Tued...
41:29Pass.
41:31The last straw.
41:34Um...
41:35Drawing a straw.
41:36Drawing the last straw.
41:37Drawing the last straw.
41:38Pass.
41:41Butterfingers.
41:42Correct.
41:43Um...
41:44Dot your eyes and cross your teeth.
41:45Correct.
41:47Overcooked.
41:48Correct.
41:49Um...
41:50Fist hay.
41:51Punch hay.
41:53Punch of...
41:53You've got 20 seconds.
41:55Pass.
41:57Wonderwall.
41:57Correct.
42:01Oh, my gosh.
42:02Amy, you were brilliant.
42:03Thanks.
42:04Wasn't she brilliant, Claire?
42:05Brilliant.
42:05Oh, my goodness.
42:07The focus.
42:08The determination.
42:09Practice paid off.
42:10It really, really did.
42:11You are fantastic.
42:13Well done.
42:14Take a breath.
42:15Because I can tell you very happily that you've done it.
42:19You have now just won £2,250.
42:23Well done.
42:24Thanks.
42:25Very good.
42:25Henry.
42:26There were some tense moments.
42:27I was a bag of nerves over here.
42:29And, um...
42:30Let's have a quick look back at the round.
42:32You started off very strong.
42:34Bag of nerves.
42:34Got that.
42:35This, of course, is background, ground, written backwards.
42:38Then this one you passed on.
42:39Obviously it's bullet, but what else?
42:41Bite the bullet.
42:41Absolutely right.
42:42Bite marks in the word bullet.
42:44So that's bite the bullet.
42:45You passed on the next one as well.
42:46You got very close on this one.
42:48But there's a few different elements you've got to get.
42:50Is it draw the short straw?
42:52Draw the short straw is the right answer.
42:54So you got quite close.
42:55I think you said a few things to do with straw.
42:57But obviously that straw is shorter.
42:58This straw is longer.
43:00And that's the one that's being drawn.
43:01So it has to be draw the short straw.
43:03Then you've got two absolutely right butterfingers.
43:06The word butter in place of fingers.
43:08And then you've got...
43:09Dot the I's across the T's.
43:10Love this one.
43:11Obviously I's made of dots and T's made of crosses.
43:14Overcooked.
43:14Very simple.
43:15Just over the word cooked.
43:16Yep.
43:16And you passed on this next one.
43:18I know it now.
43:19You know it now?
43:20Hit the hay.
43:21Exactly right.
43:22It's hitting rather than a fist or punching.
43:24Yeah.
43:24And then you've got this final one right.
43:25Wonder wall.
43:26Obviously wonder in a wall to finish off.
43:27Well done.
43:28Right.
43:28Well, you've done really well.
43:30You've managed to win £2,250.
43:33If that's enough, we're delighted for you.
43:36You can finish the game.
43:37Go and see Barry Manilow.
43:39Whatever you want to do.
43:40Or you can choose to face one last riddle.
43:42This time you'll have just 20 seconds to give an answer.
43:46If you get it right, you will double your winnings.
43:48And you will take away £4,500.
43:52But if you can't find the right answer in that time, you'll lose everything.
43:57And then you'll leave with nothing apart from, of course.
44:00Amy, you'll be pleased to know the teacup and saucer is still available.
44:04Have a chat.
44:05No.
44:06No.
44:07No.
44:07No.
44:08Before we came on, we agreed.
44:09We said if somehow we get to the final round, we're not doing it.
44:13And I feel like we've worked too hard.
44:16We've worked too hard to chance losing it all.
44:18I don't think my heart could take it to another round.
44:23OK.
44:24Are you sure?
44:25Yes.
44:25100%.
44:25You seem very sure about that.
44:27OK.
44:27Amy and Claire, you're walking away with £2,250.
44:32Congratulations.
44:34Now, listen.
44:35Just for fun, do you want to see what it would have been?
44:37Yeah.
44:38Go on then, Henry.
44:39You're going to instantly now.
44:40The pressure's off.
44:40Yeah.
44:41So, 20 seconds to answer this, you would have had.
44:45A wolf in sheep's clothing.
44:48Yeah.
44:48You got it very, very quickly.
44:50Wolf in sheep's clothing.
44:51We don't care.
44:51We don't care.
44:53Amy and Claire, you've done absolutely brilliantly.
44:55Enjoy Barry Manilow, won't you, Claire?
44:57Yes, I will.
44:58Our commiserations to your very saintly husband, obviously.
45:01Listen, fantastic to see you working so well together.
45:04Thanks for being on the show.
45:06That's it.
45:06What a great show.
45:07So close.
45:08It was close.
45:09Yeah.
45:10All the way through, just a few seconds left at the end there.
45:12Yeah, amazing.
45:12Well done.
45:13Brilliant.
45:13Thanks so much, Henry.
45:14Your riddles were brilliant today.
45:16Thank you, Rhonda.
45:16Thank you so much for joining us at home.
45:18We'll see you next time for more Ridiculous Riddles.
45:21We'll see you next time.
