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, Ravi.
00:27Now, you're looking very smug today.
00:30Absolutely, and I should be,
00:32because I've got an extremely mischievous set of riddles.
00:35Have you?
00:36Oh, my goodness me.
00:38Right, do you want to try one out on us?
00:39Yeah, see if you can do this one.
00:41And what happens when a cockney takes a really good look at something,
00:45at least that's what I'd like you to believe.
00:47What am I?
00:49Cockney rhyming slang. You have a goosey gander?
00:51Ooh, you're not far off.
00:52I don't know if that's cockney rhyming slang or if that's just...
00:54I don't think that is, but you're not far off.
00:56Oh, you have a goosey gander.
00:57Right, OK, I'm going to have a think about it.
00:59Henry, you've got me going.
01:01But first, let's meet today's teams.
01:05Who's with us today?
01:06I'm Randy.
01:07This is my amazing wife, Harps, and we're from Berkshire.
01:10I'm Rebecca, and this is my boyfriend, Ethan, and we're from Belfast.
01:14I'm Mirren.
01:15This is my boyfriend's mum, Jane, and we're from Wiltshire.
01:17Super stuff.
01:18Welcome to the show one and all.
01:20Now, I'm looking at you intently.
01:23You might say I'm having a goosey gander at you all, which I am.
01:26But we're close, but not quite.
01:28Yeah, so it's not cockney rhyming slang, but it is cockney phrase.
01:31I like this one a lot.
01:32I'm what happens when a cockney takes a really good look at something.
01:35At least that's what I'd like you to believe.
01:38What am I?
01:39So gander is good, but don't forget the other part of the riddle.
01:42So you tell a lie?
01:43At least that's what I'd like you to believe.
01:45Any ideas from our teams?
01:48Complete silence.
01:48You're not just having a gander, you're having a really good gander.
01:51What might you say?
01:52Proper...
01:53Propaganda.
01:54Propaganda.
01:54Propaganda.
01:55Yeah, if you want someone to believe something,
01:57Propaganda might be involved, yeah.
01:59Brilliant.
01:59Now, don't be fooled.
02:00He doesn't help you along like he did there.
02:02No.
02:02No clues, except for your clues.
02:05Yes, exactly.
02:06Exactly.
02:07Right, thank you so much, Henry.
02:08I loved that one.
02:09Right, welcome to the show, one and all.
02:12So let me tell you how this is going to work.
02:14You're going to face a series of riddles from Henry.
02:18In order to unlock each riddle,
02:20you'll first have to correctly answer three general knowledge questions.
02:25Now, in this first round, the questions from me are worth £25.
02:30Henry, how much are your riddles worth?
02:32So in this round, the riddles are worth £100 each.
02:35These are the easiest ones you're going to face in the whole game,
02:37so it's important to get these ones right.
02:40Yes, Rebecca looks nervous already.
02:43And we will be saying goodbye to one team at the end of this round.
02:47So every question is important.
02:51Are you ready for some general knowledge?
02:53Yes.
02:54OK, let's play.
02:58In the children's party game,
03:00blindfolded players are traditionally required
03:03to pin the tail on which farmyard?
03:05Run, dip and harps.
03:06Donkey.
03:07Correct.
03:07On which farmyard animal?
03:09£25 to run, dip and harps.
03:11Which football team defeated Manchester City
03:14in the 2024 final of the FA Cup?
03:16Rebecca and Ethan.
03:18Manchester United.
03:19Correct.
03:21Shrewsbury on the River Severn
03:23is the county town of which English county?
03:26Mirren and Jane.
03:28Shropshire.
03:28Correct.
03:30In 2023, the TikTok chef known as Poppy Cooks
03:35published a book of recipes for which kitchen appliance?
03:40Mirren and Jane.
03:41Air Fryer.
03:42Yeah, correct.
03:43You're just one correct answer away
03:45from facing the riddle master for the first time.
03:48I hope that doesn't put you off from answering the question.
03:53OK, here we go.
03:55Which former UK Prime Minister
03:57has the middle names Charles Linton?
04:00Mirren and Jane.
04:01Tony Blair.
04:02Correct.
04:03Good answer.
04:04Anthony Charles, Linton Blair.
04:06It's Tony Blair.
04:07Mirren and Jane, welcome to the show.
04:08Thank you very much.
04:09Now, let me ask a bit about your relationship
04:11because we don't often have this combination, I don't think.
04:15So, Mirren, tell me about you and Jane.
04:17So, Jane is my partner's mum.
04:19We've known each other for going on seven years now.
04:23But you get on remarkably well.
04:25Oh, yeah.
04:25Really well.
04:26Ridiculously well.
04:27She's like another daughter.
04:28Is she?
04:29Isn't that lovely?
04:30And how do you work together as a team?
04:32Quite well, I'd say.
04:33Yeah, I'd say so.
04:34Yeah.
04:35We're quite competitive.
04:36Very.
04:36Against others.
04:38We do things as a family where we will gang up on the others at times
04:42And pick at them.
04:44Riddle master.
04:45Goodness.
04:46You must not gang up on me.
04:48In fact, you must.
04:50Right.
04:50That's my advice.
04:52Now, listen, you're about to face your first riddle.
04:54Of course, throughout the game, every team has access to one clue
04:57to help them out with a riddle if they get stuck.
04:58So, just use it wisely.
05:00All right, Mirren and Jane, good luck.
05:02Here we go.
05:02Tip us to be quiet.
05:04Tap us to keep in time.
05:06But careful not to tread on others, or you'll find you've crossed the line.
05:11What are we?
05:12I am thinking watch.
05:16But just the tap us to keep in time.
05:19Careful.
05:20Tip us to be quiet.
05:21I can think of hat.
05:22Tip your hat.
05:23But I don't know if that quiet someone's down.
05:25Tread on others to cross the line.
05:28Tip us to be quiet.
05:30So secrecy.
05:32Something secrecy.
05:34I'm not too sure on this one.
05:36I don't know that one.
05:37Shall we just say a word?
05:39Clock?
05:41A clock?
05:42Yeah, we don't know really, but we'll go with clock.
05:45I'm afraid it's the wrong answer.
05:47Now, there's no steals in this first round.
05:50But do either of the other teams have any ideas?
05:52Toes.
05:53Because you tap them to keep in time.
05:56And then tip toes to be quiet.
05:58Toes is the right answer.
05:59Oh, yes.
05:59Toes is right, yeah.
06:01Of course, yeah, tip toes.
06:02Yeah, you might tap your toe to keep in time.
06:03Probably wouldn't tap a watch to keep in time.
06:05You just kind of look at a watch maybe.
06:07You might break it if you tap.
06:09Very impatient people tap their watches.
06:11Come on.
06:12Absolutely, yes.
06:12I suppose, yeah.
06:13Telling someone to hurry up, you might tap your watch.
06:15I suppose, yes.
06:15If you tread on someone else's toes, you might cross the line.
06:18Tread on someone else's toes.
06:19Well, this is terrible news because this is meant to be the easy one.
06:23And Riddle Master has already got one over on you.
06:26Right.
06:26OK, we've got three more riddles to go.
06:28Good luck, all teams.
06:29Hands by the buzzers.
06:30Here we go.
06:31Which Spanish tourist resort is the name of an ITV comedy starring...
06:35Rebecca and Ethan.
06:36Benidorm.
06:37Correct.
06:37Starring Steve Pemberton and Sherry Hewson, among others.
06:41Benidorm is correct.
06:42£25 to Rebecca and Ethan.
06:44Strikes and spares can be scored in which sport played in an alley?
06:49Mirren and Jane.
06:50Bowling.
06:51I can accept that.
06:5210-pin bowling or bowling.
06:54On a standard UK keyboard, which vowel is on a different row to the other vowels?
07:01Randy Penharps.
07:02A.
07:03Correct.
07:03Yes.
07:05Which sport was played professionally by Mike Tindall?
07:10Mirren and Jane.
07:11Rugby.
07:11Yes, rugby.
07:13Rugby Union, rugby.
07:14We can accept both.
07:15Good.
07:15OK, Mirren and Jane.
07:16Again, just one correct answer away from unlocking the next riddle.
07:20Lisa, Jisoo, Jenny and Rose are members of which colourfully named South Korean?
07:27Mirren and Jane.
07:28Blackpink.
07:28Yes, South Korean pop band.
07:30Blackpink.
07:31Now you're obviously very good at the general knowledge.
07:33How are you going to do in your next riddle?
07:36This is the big question.
07:37The first one fumbled them.
07:39Henry, what have you got this time?
07:40See if you can get this one right.
07:41Good luck.
07:42What is found on a cow, but when done well, isn't found at all?
07:47Meat.
07:48Meat.
07:49Or steak.
07:49Oh, yeah.
07:50So cooked well.
07:51Meat's found on a cow, but if it is cooked well, it's not on the cow, it's on your dinner
07:57plate.
07:58Are we overthinking it or are we completely on the wrong track?
08:00Found on a cow, but when done well.
08:04Done well is making me think cooking.
08:07So should we go meat?
08:08Or do you want to go specifics with steak or I guess meat?
08:13Meat would be better.
08:14I'll let you take that one.
08:16OK.
08:17We're going to go with meat.
08:19Meat.
08:20I'm afraid it's the wrong answer.
08:23What is found on a cow, but when done well, isn't found at all.
08:27So if you're not found, what might you be?
08:31A classic children's game would be hide and seek.
08:34Yeah.
08:35So hide is the right answer.
08:36Oh.
08:37Yeah, of course.
08:38Cow's skin is called hide.
08:39It's what's on a cow.
08:40Yeah.
08:41Hide the skin.
08:42Of course.
08:42Yeah.
08:43If you've not found something, it's because it's hidden.
08:45I think Harps has got a complaint.
08:46Go on.
08:47That was really hard.
08:48Yes.
08:51I'm glad it was just us.
08:52Group action here.
08:54A class action.
08:55A class action against a riddle master.
08:57This is round one, riddle master.
08:59Oh, my goodness me.
09:01Yeah, tricky one.
09:01Tricky one.
09:02Right.
09:02It's 2-0 to the riddle master.
09:04We cannot have this.
09:06Let's keep going.
09:08What word follows stock, collared and turtle in the names of three British bird species?
09:14Mirren and Jane.
09:15Dove.
09:16Correct.
09:18Which actor voices Woody in the 1995 animated film Toy Story?
09:25Randy Penharps.
09:26Tim Allen.
09:27Incorrect.
09:28Rebecca and Ethan.
09:29Tom Hanks.
09:30Yes.
09:31I think.
09:32I couldn't think of his name.
09:33Yeah, he's also in it.
09:34Is he Buzz Lightyear?
09:36Yeah, he is.
09:36Yeah.
09:37Oh, my goodness.
09:37You knew the film.
09:39That was so tough.
09:40Okay.
09:40Next question.
09:41What green pear-shaped fruit is the primary ingredient of guacamole?
09:46Randy Penharps.
09:47Avocado.
09:48Correct.
09:50Which historic London landmark has a river entrance known as Traitor's Gate?
09:57Mirren and Jane.
09:58Tower of London.
09:59The Tower of London is correct.
10:01Jiggle Jiggle is a viral rap song by which BBC documentary maker?
10:08Mirren and Jane.
10:08Louis Theroux.
10:10Correct.
10:10Very good recall, actually.
10:11Speaking of his name.
10:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:14Let's not make it a hat-trick.
10:16Okay?
10:16Just being nice.
10:18No.
10:18Time to stop being nice.
10:20Here we go, Riddle Master.
10:21What have you got?
10:22Here we go.
10:22Yeah, come on.
10:23I've got a clean sweep this round.
10:24This is very exciting.
10:26I'm very excited.
10:28Beware.
10:29This riddle may cause you to exercise, but please only do so with extreme care,
10:35or the police may have a word with you.
10:37What am I?
10:38Yeah.
10:39Is it sprint?
10:40As in...
10:41I'm trying to think...
10:42Yeah.
10:42I might be going too into it, but I'm trying to think of exercising your right.
10:47The only thing I can think of is right.
10:49Your rights or something along those lines.
10:53Shall we just put with your rights?
10:56Yeah.
10:56And then...
10:57Yeah.
10:57Yeah.
10:59So we'd like to go with your rights or rights.
11:02Okay, Mirren and Jane have locked in rights.
11:05I'm afraid it's not the right answer.
11:07Yes.
11:08Exercise your rights.
11:09Obviously, I see what you're doing there, but it doesn't fulfil all of the brief with
11:12the other sections of the riddle, I'm afraid.
11:14What...
11:14Yeah, Rebecca, do you have an idea?
11:15Rebecca and Ethan, I think.
11:16I think it might be caution, maybe.
11:18I was trying to think, like, be aware, like, caution.
11:20This riddle may cause you to exercise.
11:22That one I wasn't too sure was, like, maybe exercise with caution.
11:25But then please only do so with extreme care cautiously.
11:28Or if the police have a word with you, they caution you.
11:31Not that I know that, but, you know.
11:33There's no steal available, but caution is the right answer.
11:36Yeah, caution.
11:37Hold on.
11:37Yeah.
11:37So beware, of course, another word for caution.
11:40This riddle may cause you to exercise, exercise, dot, dot, dot.
11:43Exercise in caution.
11:44If you do something with extreme care, you do it cautiously.
11:47And, of course, if the police have a word with you, that is a caution.
11:49A great riddle.
11:51Now, I just wonder, can we just band together?
11:53Forget that it's a competition.
11:54We're now against him.
11:55No, here we go.
11:56Right.
11:57Good luck, all teams.
11:58Next question.
11:59In World Championship darts, what is the minimum number of darts a player can throw
12:04in order to reach their target of 501?
12:07Randeep and Harps.
12:0911.
12:10Incorrect.
12:11Mirren and Jane.
12:12Nine.
12:12Correct.
12:14Which country was led by Fidel Castro from 1959 until 2000?
12:192008.

12:22£25 to you.
12:24Which band had a hit with the 1979 album Highway to Hell?
12:30Rebecca and Ethan.
12:31ACDC.
12:32Correct.
12:33A bit before your time, I would have thought.
12:35I love it.
12:35I love BCDC.
12:36I love that.
12:37Great.
12:38An old soul in a young body.
12:40Okay, here we go.
12:41Which American tennis player famously said you cannot be serious to an umpire during a...
12:47Rebecca and Ethan.
12:48Serena Williams.
12:58Randeep and Harps.
12:59John McEnroe.
13:00Correct.
13:02Now, Randeep and Harps.
13:03For the first time in the game, you're just one correct answer away from unlocking a riddle.
13:08Honeycomb cells formed of wax by bees in their hives are what shape?
13:14Mirren and Jane.
13:16Hexagon.
13:16Hexagonal.
13:17Correct.
13:20What small pieces of toasted or fried bread?
13:24Mirren and Jane.
13:25Croutons.
13:26Yes, good answer.
13:27Great interception.
13:28The full question was, what small pieces of toasted or fried bread, often used to garnish
13:33soups, have a name derived from the French word for crust?
13:36Crouton is correct.
13:38Right.
13:39Mirren and Jane.
13:40Might we have a private word?
13:42You've unlocked all four riddles.
13:46How many have you actually solved?
13:48None yet.
13:48Hopefully one soon.
13:50Hopefully one.
13:51Right.
13:52Now, we cannot let the riddle master have a clean sweep.
13:55Fourth riddle lucky, as they say.
13:59Here we go.
14:00I'm in the sea and on the table.
14:02Solve this and you'll be worth it if you're able.
14:05What am I?
14:07First thing I'm thinking is salt.
14:09Salt, I'm thinking.
14:09Sea salt, table salt.
14:11What am I?
14:12I think is salt.
14:13OK, yeah.
14:13We might as well just...
14:15I think it's salt.
14:15Yeah, can we...
14:16We think it's salt.
14:17Salt.
14:18Yes.
14:20How are we feeling about this answer?
14:22I don't know anymore.
14:24What, you don't know how you feel?
14:25You just don't know how you feel at all about anything anymore?
14:28Stop.
14:29Talk me through your thinking.
14:31Found in the sea, so sea salt.
14:34And on the table, so dinner salt.
14:37Solve this and you'll be worth it.
14:39That's the only bit I'm a bit unsure of.
14:42If you're able, what am I?
14:43It's mainly the first two parts that are aiming to salt.
14:48You're saying salt.
14:49You're quite confident about the beginning of it.
14:51Not so sure about the end.
14:52Yes.
14:53And salt is the right answer.
14:56Oh, thank goodness.
14:57Well done.
14:57Salt.
14:58Yeah, of course.
14:59Sea salt, salt on the table.
15:01And as you have proved, you are worth your salt in this round.
15:04Yeah, it's a well-known phrase, isn't it?
15:06If you use it.
15:07Good.
15:07OK, right.
15:08Well done.
15:09For the first time in this round, I can say, I can give you £100.
15:14Well done for solving a riddle.
15:15Fantastic stuff.
15:17Right, let's take a look at the scores.
15:19So teams, at the end of this round, Mirren and Jane have £400.
15:24Randeep and Harps have £125.
15:26Rebecca and Ethan have £100, which sadly means we will be saying goodbye.
15:32It was just one general knowledge question in it, really.
15:35Yeah.
15:35Rebecca and Ethan, we didn't even get to say hello properly.
15:38No.
15:39Tell us a bit about yourselves, your boyfriend and girlfriend from Northern Ireland.
15:42Yeah.
15:43We've been together for four years.
15:45We met in school.
15:46Oh, lovely.
15:47Fabulous stuff.
15:48And you love this show, don't you?
15:50I hope it hasn't changed anything.
15:51I know couples have their song, but you say this quiz is your quiz.
15:55Well, there's still us.
15:56We'll still be playing along.
15:58Good.
15:59All right.
15:59Well, it was lovely to meet you, Rebecca and Ethan.
16:01Sorry to have to say goodbye, but goodbye we must say.
16:03And that's it for part one.
16:05Henry, how about another riddle?
16:07One that maybe we can all actually solve.
16:09How about that?
16:09I can't promise anything.
16:10No promises at all.
16:11What clothes come from male oaths?
16:13What clothes come from male oaths?
16:16I'll give you the answer when we come back.
16:29Welcome back.
16:30Now, before the break, Henry, I asked you to set us an easy riddle.
16:33You have basically not done that.
16:34No, I've defied the request there.
16:36You've defied me.
16:36Yes.
16:37I asked what clothes come from male oaths?
16:40What clothes come from male oaths?
16:42Do either of our teams have any ideas what the answer might be?
16:46Have I foxed everyone again?
16:48What clothes come from male oaths?
16:50If you commit to an oath, what would you be doing?
16:52That's like a promise.
16:54Yeah.
16:54You what an oath?
16:55Swear an oath.
16:56Swear an oath, yeah.
16:57In a clothes store, where would the men's clothes be?
16:59Men's wear.
17:00Men's wear is the right answer.
17:02Men's wear.
17:03Male oaths.
17:04Men's wear.
17:05Men's wear.
17:07Tricky one?
17:08Yes.
17:08Not happy.
17:09I like that one very much.
17:13Harps, I need to get back into your good books.
17:14I thought you were very nice.
17:17Have you seen the show?
17:21He gives nothing away, the riddle master.
17:23And also, there was no money riding on that.
17:25Do you see what I have to put up with?
17:26Yeah.
17:27But let's just take a look at the scores.
17:28Randeep and Harps, you're on £125.
17:31Mirren and Jane, you're on £400.
17:33And what's really interesting, Randeep and Harps, is that even though you didn't unlock
17:36any riddles, actually the reason you didn't go home in round one is because of one correct
17:40general knowledge answer.
17:41And I said that, didn't I?
17:42That every question is important.
17:44There's only £25 in it, which is why you're here and not going home.
17:48So this is round two.
17:50And now the questions are worth £50.
17:53Once again, you need three correct to unlock a riddle.
17:56And those riddles have changed.
17:58Henry, what's about to happen?
17:59So in this round, you're going to be facing visual riddles.
18:02So as you might expect, they contain pictures, but also numbers, shapes and words.
18:05They're a little bit trickier than the riddles in the first round.
18:08But if you can get these right, they're worth £200 each.
18:11Now, only one member of your team will be able to answer the riddle and you'll have just
18:1660 seconds in which to get it right.
18:18Also in this round, if you get it wrong, the riddle will then be offered to the opposing
18:23team for a steal.
18:25But first, you need to answer more general knowledge questions, so hands by the buzzers.
18:30Let's play.
18:32Which European language is officially spoken in Niger and Benin?
18:38Mirren and Jane.
18:39French.
18:40Correct.
18:41The first £50 of the round to you.
18:44What first name links Pugh, an English actress?
18:48Mirren and Jane.
18:50Florence.
18:50And Nightingale, a Victorian nurse.
18:53Florence it is.
18:54Right, Mirren and Jane, you're already just one away from facing your first visual riddle.
18:59Which Renaissance artist was commissioned by Pope Julius II to paint the frescoes on the
19:05ceiling of the Sistine Chapel?
19:08Randy Penharps.
19:10Michelangelo.
19:10Correct.
19:11Yeah, good job.
19:14Which Manchester indie band had UK top 10 hits with Fool's Gold and...
19:19Randy Penharps.
19:20Oasis.
19:21Incorrect.
19:22Mirren and Jane.
19:23The Stone Roses.
19:23Correct.
19:24And the last song was...
19:26One Love.
19:27Good.
19:27Right, Mirren and Jane, you've done it again.
19:30We should be happy.
19:31I don't know why I do it to ourselves.
19:33Clearly, general knowledge is a strong point for the two of you.
19:36Mirren, you've got extraordinary recall on lots of trivia.
19:38Yeah.
19:39Very impressive.
19:41You tried to work as a team before to solve the riddles and you got one out of four.
19:45Yeah.
19:45Now only one of you can face the riddle master.
19:48So let's take a look at the categories.
19:51Shapes, words or pictures.
19:53Can I do pictures, please?
19:55Yeah.
19:55No problem.
19:56Can I do pictures, please?
19:57You can.
19:58Jane, if you take a step back.
20:00Mirren, come into the centre.
20:01Remember, you can still ask for a clue if you need to.
20:04Okay, pictures.
20:05Henry.
20:05Mirren.
20:06Mirren, 60 seconds to give me the right answer after I've finished reading the riddle.
20:10Who doesn't match anyone else in the group?
20:12Your time starts now.
20:14Who doesn't match anyone else in the group?
20:16Oh, I was going glasses at first, but a few don't have glasses.
20:24I'm trying to think of hair colour.
20:27Hats.
20:32I'm just going to ask for a clue, please.
20:34Stop the clock.
20:35The clue is, who has their own sense of style?
20:38Start the clock.
20:40Who has their own sense of style?
20:42Okay, I don't think that helped at all.
20:44Um, I...
20:47You've got 30 seconds.
20:49I cannot think.
20:51I am just going to go for 3B.
20:563B locked in.
20:57Yeah.
20:573B.
20:58Any thinking behind that at all?
20:59That was just the one that called out for me.
21:03Well, Mirren, it called out for a reason, because 3B is the right answer.
21:07All right.
21:08Yeah.
21:08Do you have any idea why?
21:11No.
21:12It obviously stood out to you for some reason.
21:14Yeah.
21:14No, I can't think of why.
21:17So, all the accessories are repeated.
21:18There's pairs or more than two, except for the green bow tie,
21:22which only exists on the person B3.
21:25So, B3 is the right answer.
21:26All right.
21:26Fantastic start to round two for Mirren and Jane.
21:29Well done.
21:30Let me give you £200.
21:33Okay, we still have two more visual riddles to go.
21:35In the Jungle Book, what animal is Baloo?
21:38Mirren and Jane.
21:39A bear.
21:40Correct.
21:41What colour is the circle at the centre of the national flag of Japan?
21:47Mirren and Jane.
21:48Red.
21:48Correct.
21:50One away from unlocking the second visual riddle.
21:52What type of biscuit shares its name with a system of the human body containing the stomach and intestine?
22:00Randeep and Harps.
22:01Digestive.
22:02Correct.
22:03Digestive it is.
22:05Which space agency carried out a series of missions named Apollo, Gemini, Mirren and Jane?
22:11NASA.
22:12Correct.
22:13Missions named Apollo, Gemini and Mercury.
22:16Well done.
22:17NASA it was.
22:18Right, Mirren and Jane.
22:19So, Jane, Mirren did brilliantly.
22:21What do you want to do now?
22:22I'm going to try.
22:22You're going to try?
22:23What do you fancy then?
22:25You've got shapes or words, Jane?
22:27I'm going to go with shapes, please.
22:28All right.
22:29Here we go.
22:30Good luck.
22:31Jane, 60 seconds to give me a correct answer after I've finished reading the riddle.
22:35Which of these shapes belongs in the hive?
22:37Your time starts now.
22:40I'm thinking they're the patterns of up there, so I need to work out when I twist them.
22:51I'm thinking C, because as it's moved around...
22:56No, it's not C.
23:00I'm thinking A, because if you turn it around, it's the same pattern as in the square up there, I
23:08think.
23:08I'm going to go with A.
23:10Locked in.
23:11A.
23:12Yes.
23:13Jane, I'm afraid it's the wrong answer.
23:14OK, no more talking, Randeep and Harps.
23:17What's your answer for a steal?
23:18I think it's B.
23:20Feeling good about that?
23:22No, because they've been really hard.
23:26You should feel good about it.
23:27B is the right answer.
23:29Of course.
23:29It's just, yeah, you've got to find the right jigsaw puzzle piece.
23:32And of course, it's a B that belongs in the hive.
23:35Oh, I see.
23:37Very good.
23:38Very good.
23:38Well, well done, Randeep and Harps.
23:40That's £100 to you.
23:42Great steal.
23:43Well done.
23:44OK, let's keep playing one more visual riddle to go.
23:47With a name meaning crown, what is the standard currency of Sweden?
23:53Randeep and Harps.
23:54Krona.
23:55Correct.
23:56£50 to you.
23:58A diamond-shaped green crystal known as a plum bob floats above the active character
24:05in which long-running video game series?
24:08B.
24:08Mirren and Jane.
24:09Sims.
24:10Yeah, The Sims.
24:12Which US president was nicknamed Tricky Dicky?
24:15B.
24:16Mirren and Jane.
24:17Richard Nixon.
24:18Correct.
24:18OK, one away from unlocking the next riddle.
24:22What first name is shared by chart-topping singers with the surnames Rodrigo and Newton-John?
24:29Mirren and Jane.
24:30Olivia.
24:31Correct.
24:32Right, Mirren and Jane, you're here again.
24:35Let's see what happens now.
24:36You know which category you've got left.
24:38So you've only got words left.
24:39Mirren and Jane, who fancies it?
24:41I'm going to let Jane take this one.
24:43Yeah.
24:44OK.
24:45Jane, good luck.
24:47Words.
24:48Once again, Jane, 60 seconds to give me the right answer after I've finished reading
24:51the riddle.
24:52Which of these words is the odd one out?
24:54Your time starts now.
24:59I'm thinking the words rhyme with the colours.
25:02So bread red, clean green, hello yellow, thirsty isn't orange, drink pink, zoo blue.
25:10So I'm going with thirsty, which doesn't rhyme with orange.
25:14Locked in.
25:16Thirsty.
25:17Yes.
25:18Because it doesn't rhyme with the colour that it's written in.
25:21Yes.
25:22Yes.
25:23Jane is the right answer.
25:24Of course, yeah.
25:25That lasts.
25:26Yes.
25:26Well done.
25:27Feels good, doesn't it?
25:29Yes.
25:30Exactly right.
25:31They all rhyme with the colour they're written in, except for thirsty.
25:33Super.
25:33Right.
25:34Well done, team.
25:34Mirren and Jane, let me give you £200.
25:37And that was the final visual riddle of this round.
25:40So teams, at the end of this round, Mirren and Jane have £1,250.
25:44Randy Penharpsey, you have £375.
25:47But all of that can change in the next round.
25:49So stay focused.
25:51And we'll keep playing after the break.
25:53But let's have another riddle, shall we, to keep us going?
25:55Yeah.
25:56See if we can figure this one out.
25:57With lots of things chopped up and put on the top, I'm usually round but sliced into
26:01fractions.
26:02I kind of sound like I want a piece of the action.
26:05What am I?
26:06I'll give you the answer when we come back.
26:28What am I?
26:36Any thoughts?
26:36What?
26:37We thought pizza.
26:38Pizza.
26:39Pizza is absolutely right.
26:41Harps and Randy got that one too, didn't you?
26:43Yeah.
26:44Pizza.
26:44Things chopped up on top of a pizza.
26:46Pizzas are usually round.
26:47Not always, but usually.
26:49Sliced into fractions, of course.
26:50Pizza slices.
26:52And piece of the action.
26:54Piece of the action.
26:55Piece of the action.
26:57Henry!
26:58The sound, you know, a sound clue there.
27:01Yeah, I love it.
27:03Okay.
27:04Right, Randy Bernharps, Mirren and Jane.
27:07Right, this is where the competition gets serious as the team with the highest prize
27:11pot at the end of this round will be going through to the final to face Henry's riddle run.
27:16Now this time, correct questions are worth £100 and the riddles are pretty expensive.
27:23Yeah.
27:23In this round, the riddles are worth £300 each, if you can get them right.
27:28Okay.
27:29So, if you're ready, hands by the buzzers.
27:31Let's play.
27:34The emblem of which northern English county is a red rose?
27:39Mirren and Jane.

27:46Randy Bernharps.

27:55Randy Bernharps.

28:05Which former member of One Direction was born in Mullingar Island in September 1993?
28:12Randy Bernharps.
28:13Harry Styles.
28:14Incorrect.
28:15Which?
28:16Mirren and Jane.
28:17Niall Horan.
28:17Yes.
28:20In which Norwegian folktale does an animal family trip-trap across a bridge?
28:27Randy Bernharps.
28:29The Billy Goat's Gruff.
28:30I can take that.
28:31Three Billy Goat's Gruff.
28:34Animal family trip-trap across a bridge.
28:36That is home to a troll.
28:38This is the first riddle that you've actually unlocked in the whole game, isn't it?
28:43Well, it's fantastic.
28:44I think you're making a comeback late in the show, but it's not too late.
28:47This I like.
28:47Tell me a bit about your relationship.
28:50You're married.
28:50We are.
28:5120 years.
28:5220 years, yeah.
28:53Wow.
28:54Two teenagers.
28:55And what's that like with having teenagers?
28:57They keep us young.
28:58Yeah.
28:59It's my daughter's fault that I'm in the show.
29:01She said, Dad, you always follow it from home.
29:04Why don't you have a go?
29:05Yeah.
29:06Well, it's fabulous to have you here.
29:07Randeep and Harps.
29:08Good luck.
29:09You've unlocked a £300 riddle.
29:11Henry.
29:11Here it comes.
29:13When things get hairy, I can be forced to one side.
29:16But if I'm in the centre, then it's curtains for me.
29:20Farewell.
29:21What am I?
29:22Hairy.
29:23Erm, when you part your hair.
29:26Yeah.
29:26You're sort of forced to one side.
29:28Curtains makes me think of a theatre.
29:31I don't understand how the theatre connect to the hair.
29:35Don't forget you've still got your clue.
29:37Yeah.
29:37Well, let's use it.
29:38Shall we use the clue?
29:39Let's go.
29:40The clue is, I'll give you a gift when I go.
29:43So, someone who gives a gift.
29:46That can be centre.
29:47Erm, you force it to the side.
29:51Don't think the clue's helping, Henry.
29:54My apologies.
29:57The same thing I can think of with hair and being forced to one side.
30:00But then if you're in the centre, you have, like, curtains.
30:04Like, if you have a party in the centre, you have curtains.
30:08Yeah, I don't get the present bit.
30:10Your parting is probably the only thing I can think of in a hair.
30:13Oh, is that it though?
30:14A parting gift?
30:15Yeah, a parting gift.
30:16A parting gift.
30:17When someone leaves, you get a parting gift.
30:19Okay, parting.
30:20So, let's go from...
30:22Parting.
30:24Parting is the right answer.
30:26Oh, very good.
30:28Yeah, that's a relief.
30:29Yes.
30:30No, brilliantly deduced.
30:31Yeah, absolutely right, of course.
30:32Yeah, I think the clue helped you a bit.
30:33But yeah, what really helped you was just talking it through, going through, piecing it
30:38together slowly.
30:38Really good.
30:39Well done.
30:39And you had a real lightbulb moment, Harps, didn't you there?
30:42Yeah.
30:42Yes, I loved it.
30:43Your daughter will be proud of you.
30:45Yeah, really good.
30:46So, £300 to Randeep and Harps.
30:50Two more riddles left.
30:51Let's go.
30:52Which classic sitcom is set in the fictional town of Warmington-on-Sea during the Second World War?
30:59Mirren and Jane.
31:00Call the Midwife.
31:01Incorrect.
31:02Which classic sitcom?
31:05Randeep and Harps.
31:06Dad's Army.
31:07Correct.
31:09Which Irish author wrote the 2017 novel, Conversations with Friends and Normal People?
31:16Mirren and Jane.
31:16Sally Rooney.
31:17Yes, it was published in 2018.
31:19Sally Rooney is correct.
31:21Which ingredient is combined with coffee to make the flavour mocha?
31:26Mirren and Jane.
31:27Hot chocolate.
31:28Or cocoa.
31:29I can accept that.
31:30Chocolate or cocoa is correct.
31:32Mirren and Jane, you're one correct answer away from unlocking the next £300 riddle.
31:36How many Conservative Prime Ministers were in office between Gordon Brown and Keir Starmer?
31:42Mirren and Jane.
31:43Five?
31:44Correct.
31:44Good knowledge.
31:46Okay, Mirren and Jane.
31:47Here we are again.
31:48We've unlocked the next £300 riddle.
31:50Good luck, Henry.
31:51Good luck indeed.
31:52Which game is surrounded by cushions and has a cosy corner in the middle?
31:58Corners in the middle.
31:59I'm trying to think of board games or something like that that almost has like cushions around.
32:06Cushions.
32:07Yeah, the cushions are throwing me off.
32:08Yeah, and has a cosy corner in the middle. Corners in the middle.
32:13Maybe just say something.
32:16Are you thinking a game that you play is in a board game or an actual game?
32:21Well, I'm not too sure.
32:22Like rounders or football?
32:23It could...
32:25Actually, now that you say rounders, I'm thinking baseball, I think.
32:30Because I think, don't you stand on the corner in the middle as the pitcher?
32:35I don't know if it's plates or cushions that you touch.
32:37It's got a corner in the middle.
32:39Because I'm thinking a baseball pitch is shaped like a cone.
32:42Yes, yeah.
32:43So I'm thinking that's in the middle of the stadium.
32:46Yeah.
32:47And that might be the cosy corner.
32:49Go with it if you are.
32:50OK, we're just going to go with baseball.
32:52Baseball.
32:53Yeah.
32:54It's wrong, I'm afraid.
32:55OK.
32:57Randip and Harps for a steal.
32:58Do you have an answer for Henry?
32:59Yes.
33:00Snooker.
33:01Oh!
33:02Snooker, why?
33:03The table has cushions all around it and a cosy corner is a nook.
33:08And you've got a nook inside the word snooker.
33:12Randip, it's absolutely right.
33:13Well done.
33:14Snooker, of course, yes.
33:15That makes sense.
33:16Absolutely, yeah.
33:16That's more sense than baseball.
33:18It is plates.
33:19Rather than they're not diving onto cushions in baseball.
33:22This is a great riddle.
33:24It's a nice thought.
33:24I love this one, yeah.
33:25Of course, yeah.
33:26The second bit you correctly worked out is to do with the word,
33:29the word nook, of course, being a cosy corner.
33:31And the word nook is in snooker.
33:33Well done.
33:34Good steal.
33:34Yeah, really good steal there, guys.
33:36Randip and Harps, well done.
33:37That's £150.
33:40OK, so we have one more high-value riddle left in this round.
33:44Hands by the buzzers.
33:45Good luck to both teams.
33:46Here we go.

34:17Correct.
34:19Bay, sash and casement are all types of what architectural feature?
34:25Randy Penharps.
34:26Windows.
34:27Correct.
34:29Randy Penharps, Mirren and Jane.
34:31Either one of you could be unlocking the next high-value riddle,
34:34the final one of this round.
34:37So, good luck.
34:38Which annual Christian festival is referred to by the term Yuletide?
34:44Randy Penharps.
34:45Christmas.
34:46Correct.
34:47So, you've unlocked the final £300 riddle.
34:50Good luck.
34:51Henry.
34:51I love this one.
34:53Go to 16th and 1st and bear right.
34:57What will you find?
34:58It's pretty black and white.
35:00So, 16th, 1st could be streets.
35:04Bear right when you're turning.
35:06But the bear right's got a comma in it.
35:08Yeah.
35:08And you know how Henry loves to throw things in.
35:10Oh, yeah.
35:11The word play.
35:12Good point.
35:12So, something that's black and white in like a bear is maybe a panda.
35:16But I'm not sure about the 16th and 1st.
35:18But the 16th and 1st.
35:19Yeah.
35:20Put black and white.
35:20I think we're missing that first part.
35:22Let's go to the 16th.
35:24And the 1st.
35:2616th letter.
35:27The first letter is A.
35:29D-L-M-N-O.
35:30P.
35:31Yeah, panda isn't it?
35:33And then the 1st is A.
35:35Then and.
35:36And then A.
35:37Yeah.
35:37And then that's a bear.
35:39Yeah.
35:39That is the right bear.
35:40And then the answer is black and white because there's only one outcome.
35:45Yeah.
35:45So, I think, yeah, pocket in.
35:47Yeah.
35:49Panda.
35:49Yeah.
35:50Very impressive riddle solving there.
35:52Panda is absolutely right.
35:54Yeah.
35:54Yeah.
35:55So, go to the 16th letter of the alphabet.
35:58And you get P.
35:59And then the first letter.
36:00So, P and A spells panda.
36:03Of course, it's a bear.
36:05And pandas are black and white.
36:06Well done.
36:07Really great riddle solving by Randy Penharps there.
36:09Well done.
36:10So, let me give you the final £300 of this deciding round.
36:17Henry, I can't do it.
36:18It's too much.
36:20Randy Penharps, Mirren and Jane.
36:23What an incredible deciding round.
36:27And after that round, congratulations go to Mirren and Jane.
36:32You're through to the final with a prize pot of £1,850.
36:38Randy Penharps, you were on £1,825.
36:44Oh, my God.
36:45You know what the difference that is?
36:46One general knowledge answer in round one.
36:51Wow.
36:51Oh, my gosh.
36:52I have to say, Randy Penharps, I just think you've made this so exciting in this final round.
36:58Your kids will be so thrilled that you did this.
37:02Yeah.
37:02We hope so.
37:03We've had a great time.
37:04And what do you want to say to the riddle master today?
37:06Because you've been chatting to him throughout the show.
37:08I mean, I don't think we can be best friends.
37:13OK.
37:14Well, Randy Penharps, thank you so much for being on the show.
37:18Mirren and Jane will now face Henry's riddle run
37:20and we'll see how they cope with that pressure
37:22with all that cash that they've accumulated up for grabs.
37:26But first, Henry.
37:28Oh, my goodness.
37:28That was so tense.
37:30So close.
37:31It can't be closer than that.
37:32No, amazing.
37:33Amazing.
37:33Henry, what have you got for us over the break?
37:35I'll see if you can figure this one out.
37:37What are indoors and contain lots of stores?
37:40They're big, but move their back to their front
37:42and they become quite the opposite.
37:44I'll give you the answer after the break.
37:57Welcome back.
37:58This is ridiculous.
38:00Now, Henry, what was that devious riddle you set us over the break?
38:03I asked, what are indoors and contain lots of stores?
38:07They're big, but move their back to their front
38:10and they become quite the opposite.
38:12Mirren and Jane, you're our top riddle solvers.
38:14Congratulations.
38:14Going through to the final.
38:15Well done.
38:16Any idea what the answer is to this?
38:18We thought doors.
38:19Doors?
38:21Doors.
38:21Why doors?
38:23If you put a front door in the back, it's a back door.
38:26And if you put a back door to the front, it's a front door.
38:29And you have doors on cupboards, which stores stuff in them.
38:33And we're indoors.
38:34I see, I see.
38:35They're indoors, yeah.
38:35It's in the word indoors.
38:36The back to front doesn't quite work because, I mean,
38:37a sort of front, you know, a front seat could become a back seat.
38:41Lots of different things could be front or back versions, I suppose.
38:43But it's more specific than that.
38:45Ranver, any ideas?
38:46Well, no, I was just backing them up.
38:48I'd go, yeah, that's right, isn't it?
38:49Because it says indoor, so it must be that.
38:52Not a squiggly, I'm sorry.
38:53What's the answer?
38:54So, think about it.
38:55So, stores as in shops.
38:57Shopping centre.
38:58Yeah, in America, what would you call that?
39:00Oh, a mall.
39:01Mall.
39:02Mall.
39:03Mall.
39:03Mall.
39:03Mall.
39:03Mall.
39:04Mall's plural, right?
39:06The end is to do with the words, or the letters specifically,
39:09not to do with the meaning.
39:11So, if you take the S from the end of the word and put it in the beginning,
39:14you've got something that's the opposite of big, which is small.
39:17So, malls is the right answer.
39:18Well done if you got it.
39:19Very good.
39:21So, Mirren and Jane, you've made it through to the final.
39:25I have to say, Jane, I've been impressed with Mirren's general knowledge.
39:29I don't know about you.
39:30Very.
39:30She is good at general knowledge.
39:32Very good at general knowledge.
39:33Did you know she was that good?
39:34Yes.
39:35Yeah.
39:36She's fast on the button, though.
39:37Very fast.
39:38Now, your prize pot stands at £1,850.
39:41I know you've just bought a dog, haven't you, Mirren?
39:43Yes, I have.
39:44Will any of that money be going on the lovely new pooch?
39:46Yes, I'm going to get her a new bed, some toys, the lot.
39:51What's her name and what breed is she?
39:52She's Holly the Border Collie.
39:55Sounds like a little riddle.
39:56A little riddle on the tongue, yeah.
39:57Yeah, yeah, yeah.
39:58Oh, lovely.
39:59And Jane, what about you?
40:00What would you spend your money on?
40:01We haven't been abroad for a little while, so it would be nice to go away, relax and just
40:08enjoy family life.
40:09Yeah, well, that's what it's all about, isn't it?
40:11Lovely stuff.
40:11Well, as you both know, to take home that money, you now have to face Henry's riddle run.
40:17Henry, what exactly is it?
40:19In the riddle run, you're going to be facing visual puzzles in which words are represented
40:23by combinations of shapes and letters.
40:26They're often known as rebus riddles, and the answers can be sayings, phrases or a combination
40:30of words that are familiar to all.
40:32There are ten riddles in all, and you need six correct in 60 seconds to take home that
40:39money that you've built up so far.
40:41Now, if you're not sure about a particular riddle, just say pass and then come back to
40:45it, and that's not all.
40:47If you do answer six correctly, you'll then have the chance to double your winnings and
40:52take home £3,700.
40:56But don't worry.
40:57If it all goes wrong, you'll still go home with our collectible teacup and saucer.
41:04First, though, you've got to face Henry's riddle run.
41:07Are you both ready?
41:08Yes.
41:08As we can be, yes.
41:11Good luck.
41:11Here we go.
41:12Henry, over to you.
41:13Thanks, Ravi.
41:1460 seconds.
41:15The time will start as soon as the first riddle is revealed.
41:18Let's play.
41:20Level up.
41:21Correct.
41:24Right.
41:25Right no wrong.
41:27Two wrongs don't make a right.
41:29Top right.
41:30Pass.
41:33Top of the world.
41:35PR.
41:36Polar opposites.
41:38Pass.
41:41Jam jar.
41:43Traffic jam.
41:44Correct.
41:46Incline.
41:47Correct.
41:48Tricycle.
41:49Correct.
41:53Eggs.
41:53Guess.
41:54Guess.
41:55Eggs.
41:55Pass.
41:56Pass.
41:59Chariots of fire.
42:00Correct.
42:02Be or not to be.
42:04To be or not to be.
42:06Correct.
42:09Wow.
42:10You did it.
42:10Oh my goodness me.
42:12You went through quite a few riddles.
42:14But you did it.
42:14Well done.
42:15That means you've just won £1,850.
42:19But it wasn't smooth, was it that?
42:21There were a few bumps in the road there, Henry.
42:24There were.
42:24One or two.
42:25Let's have a look back.
42:26I mean you did well to keep passing, keep moving on.
42:29This one.
42:29You had lots of ideas here.
42:31But as well as the person and the crosses and ticks, what else is in the picture?
42:35The lines.
42:35The lines.
42:36Exactly right, yeah.
42:37So we're not looking at a chest line or a leg line.
42:40We're looking at a...
42:42Eye line.
42:43Mmm.
42:43Headline is the correct answer.
42:44Oh, a headline.
42:46Headline.
42:46Headline.
42:47Let's have a look at the next one.
42:48Few good guesses here.
42:49But look at what the words spell if you're going around them clockwise.
42:53Trip.
42:53Trip around the world.
42:54Trip around the world.
42:55That's right, yeah.
42:56Then this one you passed on.
42:57Kept saying guess eggs.
42:59Um, and it is...
43:01Eggs is close.
43:02Is it scrambled eggs?
43:03Scrambled eggs.
43:04Oh, that's good.
43:04The word eggs, scrambled in lots of different ways.
43:07You got everything else right.
43:08Well done.
43:09Beautifully done.
43:10Right.
43:10That was a fantastic riddle run.
43:12Well done Mirren and Jane.
43:13You managed to win £1,850.
43:17Now, if that's enough for you, we are delighted and you can finish the game and you can leave
43:22with that money.
43:23Or you can choose to face one last riddle.
43:27This time you'll have just 20 seconds to give an answer.
43:31If you get it right, you will double your winnings and take away £3,700.
43:38But if you can't find the right answer in that time, you'll then lose everything and you'll leave
43:43with nothing apart from the teacup and saucer.
43:48So, what would you like to do?
43:50I think with our track record, riddles definitely aren't our strong point, so I think we will
43:58take the money.
43:58Yeah.
43:59Yes.
43:59You're not tempted.
44:02No.
44:04Thank you, but no.
44:07Although it makes me laugh because you're like, riddles aren't our strong point, but the
44:10name of the show is ridiculous, so I'm just wondering.
44:12We thought we were good.
44:12And you have won the game.
44:14You have won the game.
44:15Yes.
44:15Maybe they are our strong point now, but not at the start.
44:18Well, it's been a brilliant show with you both in.
44:21Thank you very much.
44:22I think you've been absolutely delightful throughout.
44:24Mirren and Jane, you're walking away with £1,850.
44:28Thank you very much.
44:29But just for fun.
44:30Yes.
44:31Would you like to see how you would have done?
44:33Go on now.
44:33Yeah, I might as well.
44:34And give it a good go.
44:36Right, go on Henry, what would it have been?
44:37Yeah, you would have had 20 seconds to answer this.
44:40Smoke G.
44:42Go smoke.
44:43Smoke top G.
44:44Mmm.
44:46Go smoke.
44:48Smoke.
44:4910 seconds left.
44:51High smoke.
44:53I don't know.
44:53I'm trying to think go or O-G.
44:57Oh, no.
44:59And that would have been the end of your time.
45:01Yeah.
45:01So I think you made the right choice.
45:02Definitely.
45:03Not to play it.
45:04You've identified all the component parts of it.
45:06So we've got smoke and we've got go.
45:08So go is going upwards.
45:11Yes.
45:12And it's also within the word smoke, so the phrase would be...
45:15Upwards smoke.
45:15No, going up in smoke is going up in smoke.
45:18Is it going up in...
45:19No, is it not?
45:19Go up in smoke.
45:20Go up in smoke.
45:21There's no I-N-G, so it's just go up in smoke.
45:24Yeah.
45:24Oh, well, you obviously made the right decision.
45:26Yes.
45:27Well, I'm thrilled for you.
45:28Well done, Mirren and Jane.
45:30Thank you very much.
45:30You're going home with £1,850.
45:34Thank you so much for Ridiculous Riddles today, Henry.
45:37Right from the offset.
45:38Great show.
45:39Thank you, Rami.
45:39Yeah, amazing.
45:40Well done.
45:40And thank you so much for joining us at home.
45:42We'll see you next time for more Ridiculous Riddles.
45:45Thank you so much for joining us.
45:49Thank you so much for joining us.
