00:18Welcome to Ridiculous, the Ridiculously Clever Show,
00:21where three teams of riddle solvers take on our devious riddle master.
00:25Hello, Henry. Hi, Remi.
00:26Now, let me guess, you've got another set of sneaky riddles in store for us today.
00:31I certainly have. Some extremely mischievous ones, indeed.
00:33I'm going to try one out on you right now.
00:36When I'm broken, I can be silent or repetitive. What am I?
00:40Any ideas? My soul.
00:44Silent or repetitive.
00:45Yeah, I either retreat or I complain a lot. It's me. I don't know.
00:50No, I'm afraid not. No? OK.
00:52You have to think about it for a little bit.
00:53Got a bit confessional there, a bit too soon, didn't it?
00:55I did.
00:55Afraid, yeah. You've got a sneak preview of what's going on in here.
00:59You don't need that. Thank you so much, Henry.
01:00We'll keep on thinking about that one whilst we meet today's teams.
01:05Who's with us today?
01:06I'm Terry. This is my partner, Steph, and we're from the Whittle.
01:09I'm Misha. This is my fiancée, Kaz, and we're from London.
01:13I'm Christian. This is my friend, Oliver, and we're from Sheffield.
01:15Thank you so much for being on the show today. Good to have you with us.
01:18Now, let's get into it, shall we, Henry?
01:20Henry, what is the answer to your riddle?
01:22The riddle is, when I'm broken, I can be silent or repetitive.
01:26What am I?
01:28Any suggestions from our teams on this one?
01:31Jordan, I'm blank.
01:32This is good. I've beaten everyone on the first riddle.
01:37Whenever there's a word sort of broken, I always think it's something to do with records.
01:40You break records and things like that.
01:41Record is the right answer.
01:43Is it?
01:44So, if a record's broken, it's silent, you might not hear it, but also, if you've broken records, you're saying
01:49the same thing over and over again.
01:50Yeah, brilliant. Okay. I feel good about myself again. Thank you so much, Henry.
01:56Right. Teams, welcome to the show. I hope you're feeling confident and raring to go.
02:01Let me tell you how it's all going to work for you.
02:03You're going to face a series of riddles from Henry over here, of course.
02:06And in order to unlock each riddle, you'll first have to correctly answer three general knowledge questions.
02:14Now, in this first round, the questions from me are worth £25.
02:18Henry, how much are your riddles worth?
02:20Well, in this round, the riddles are easy, so they're worth £100.
02:24They're the easiest ones you're going to face in the whole game, so you really want to be getting these
02:27ones right.
02:28And we will be saying goodbye to one team at the end of this round, so every question is important.
02:35Okay. Time for some general knowledge. Let's play.
02:41When giving three cheers, what is the traditional response to the words hip, hip?
02:47Misha and Kaz.
02:48Hooray.
02:49Yes. Well done. £25 to you.
02:53What foodstuff can be prepared over easy or sunny side up?
02:58Misha and Kaz.
02:59Eggs.
02:59Yes.
03:01Two in a row. Well done. You're already just one away from unlocking your first riddle.
03:06Which singer is played by Taron Egerton in Christian and Oliver?
03:11Elton John.
03:12Correct. In the 2019 biopic Rocketman.
03:16At a hospital, what do the initials A and E stand for?
03:19Terry and Steph.
03:20Action Emergency.
03:21Brilliant. You're all up and running.
03:23This is what we like to see. £25.
03:25The big one is a rollercoaster.
03:28Misha and Kaz.
03:32You're frozen out.
03:33The big one is a rollercoaster. Christian and Oliver.
03:35Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
03:37Yes. Blackpool.
03:38The big one is a rollercoaster on the Pleasure Beach of which seaside town in the northwest of England?
03:43So, Misha and Kaz, Christian and Oliver, you're both just one correct answer away from facing Henry for the first
03:50time.
03:51Which US gymnast won three golds?
03:54Terry and Steph.
03:55Simone Biles.
03:55Yes. The superhero amongst us, Simone Biles.
03:59Which US gymnast won three golds and one silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics?
04:05Well, look at this, Henry. They're all coming for you, Riddlemaster.
04:07No, this is some fierce general knowledge.
04:10On this next question, whoever gets it right, you'll get the chance to beat the Riddlemaster for the first time
04:16in the game.
04:16Here we go.
04:18Windows 95, 98, XP and Vista.
04:23Christian and Oliver.
04:25Microsoft.
04:26Are operating systems created by which American technology company you intercepted?
04:32Microsoft is right.
04:33So, you've unlocked the first riddle of the game. Well done.
04:36So, tell us a little bit about yourselves, your friends.
04:40Friends. We met at Ayesha Field, figure skating.
04:43Pardon? You met figure skating?
04:46Figure skating, yep.
04:47That's not a story we hear very often.
04:49I actually started to impress a girl I liked at the time.
04:52And did it work?
04:54No.
04:55Right.
04:55But you ended up with a lovely friendship with Oliver.
04:58And, Oliver, what took you to figure skating?
05:00So, I used to watch ice hockey as a kid and I started training for ice hockey.
05:04Wow.
05:05And then met a lot of people who liked figure skating and decided, I'll give that a go.
05:09OK, so are you ready for your first riddle?
05:12I think so.
05:12Very good.
05:13Now, let me remind you that you do have a clue from Henry to use at any time during the
05:16game if you get stuck.
05:17So, just be careful when you want to use it.
05:20Henry, first riddle, please.
05:21Here it comes.
05:23I'm a term of affection for a creature in your home.
05:26What am I?
05:28Love.
05:28Love?
05:29Oh.
05:30I feel like a pet rather than a different animal.
05:35Like, when it says creature in a home, I'm like, what pets can they keep?
05:42Um, dog, cat?
05:43Babe.
05:44Because it lives in the house.
05:46I just thought it was like a wolf.
05:47I just thought it was a wolf and, yeah.
05:49For a creature in your home.
05:51Unless it means, like, what you call your animals.
05:54What do you think?
05:55It's a bit tricky, I don't know.
05:56I know, it's tricky.
05:57Babe's the only thing I think of.
05:58OK, I'll go with that.
05:59Yeah?
05:59Yeah.
06:00What I'd like to go is babe.
06:02Bit of a guess.
06:04Yeah.
06:04Quite, yeah.
06:05Yes.
06:06What's with the eyebrows there, Christian?
06:07Why are you giving me the eyebrows?
06:08As you can guess, I don't feel very confident about it.
06:11Right, OK.
06:11Yeah, I'm afraid it's the wrong answer, guys.
06:14You can't steal in this round because it's the first round,
06:17but do either of the other teams have any idea what it might be?
06:19It's the pet.
06:20Pet, Steph, why?
06:22Because you give your pet affection and there's a creature in your home.
06:27Pet is the right answer.
06:28Creature in your home is pet.
06:30Pet is actually a term of affection, yeah.
06:31First riddle out of the way.
06:33Here we go.
06:33Next question.
06:35What is the full name of the TV reality series known as TOWIE?
06:41Misha and Kaz.
06:42The other ways at Essex.
06:43Correct.
06:44An event that is held annually takes place how many times in a decade?
06:50Christian and Oliver.
06:51Ten.
06:52Correct.
06:53In theatre, which areas at the side of a stage share their name with parts of a bird?
07:00Christian and Oliver.
07:01Wings.
07:02Correct.
07:03Wings it is.
07:03Once again, just one correct answer away from facing another riddle.
07:08What fruit is used to make the dessert tarteau citron?
07:13BUZZER
07:13Christian and Oliver.
07:15Lemon.
07:15Yes, correct.
07:16So, here we are again.
07:18Another riddle.
07:19You flummoxed them last time.
07:21I did.
07:21Well, better luck this time.
07:22Hmm.
07:22I have a stopper at the top and a green bottom, but never at the same time.
07:27What am I?
07:28Well, obviously red would be at the top and traffic light, which, you know, stops, hopefully,
07:33of course.
07:34Um, and they never come on at the same time.
07:37Traffic light.
07:38Traffic light locked in.
07:40Traffic light, Christian, is the right answer.
07:42Yeah, brilliant.
07:43Yeah, very well.
07:43Yeah, very, very quickly deduced.
07:45Well done.
07:46All right, lovely stuff.
07:47So, that is £100 to Christian and Oliver.
07:49Here we go.
07:50Next question.
07:51In Marvel Comics, Professor Charles Xavier is the founder of which mutant superhero team?
07:59Terry and Steph.
08:00Baxman.
08:01Correct.
08:04Falabella is a range of vegan bags created by which fashion designer daughter of Paul McCartney?
08:12Terry and Steph.
08:13Stella McCartney.
08:14Stella McCartney is the only daughter whose name we know.
08:17It had to be her.
08:19Brilliant.
08:19Okay.
08:20So, Terry and Steph, for the first time in the game, you're just one correct answer away
08:24from unlocking one of Henry's riddles.
08:28What phantasmic word means to end a relationship by suddenly stopping all communication with
08:34someone?
08:34Misha and Kaz.
08:36Break off.
08:37Incorrect.
08:38What phantasmic word?
08:40Christian and Oliver.
08:41Ghost.
08:42Yes, exactly.
08:43Ghosting someone.
08:44That's the term, isn't it?
08:46What mode of transport is the Caledonian sleeper?
08:51Terry and Steph.
08:52Train.
08:53Yes, and there you go.
08:54You've got a slightly slower start, but there you are.
08:56You've got there in the end.
08:57Yeah, exactly.
08:58You're about to face the riddle master.
09:00Let's find out a bit about you.
09:01How long have you been together?
09:03You're married, are you?
09:04No, we've been together 18 years.
09:06You've been together 18 years?
09:0718 years, but we're getting married next March.
09:09So, you like to take your time, do you, Terry?
09:11Yeah, but you don't rush these things.
09:12Don't rush these things.
09:13Was it an obvious step?
09:15I'm assuming Terry proposed it easy to you.
09:17Yeah, after 10 years.
09:18So, we were together for 10 years.
09:19I got the proposal.
09:21And I thought we were going to get married on 20, so, you know, it was two years early.
09:25So, hang on.
09:25So, you've been engaged for eight years.
09:27But you have been doing other things with your lives.
09:30So, you've got two kids, haven't you?
09:31Yeah, they take all the time.
09:33They take up all the time.
09:35But it's actually quite lovely, the thought that your kids will be at your wedding.
09:38Thank you, our little flower girls.
09:39Have you got two girls?
09:40Yes.
09:41Oh, that's lovely.
09:42All right then, my loves.
09:43Here we go.
09:44Henry, what have you got for Terry and Steph?
09:47Oh, a devious riddle for sure.
09:49I wager you'll get a big kick out of a trip in one of my narrow riverboats.
09:54What am I?
09:56Wager you get a big trip out of my narrow riverboats.
09:58What's a narrow riverboats, like a barge.
10:00A canal or...
10:00Wager you'll get a big kick.
10:02How does money tie into...
10:04Out of a trip in one of my narrow riverboats.
10:06I still think barge.
10:08Big kick, barge.
10:09I've just got barge in there.
10:11I can't think of anything else.
10:12We don't think of pedalo, because you kick.
10:14Every team gets a clue, but only one per game.
10:18I mean, whenever we watch it at home, the clues don't help us anyway,
10:20so we might as well just carry on.
10:22Right?
10:22I'm going to shake it all.
10:23I don't know that.
10:25Part of your clues are rubbish in every show, Henry.
10:29What a fantastic clue that is.
10:32My goodness.
10:33Right, I'll never know.
10:34You'll never know what you've missed out on now.
10:38You'd like the clue?
10:38Yes, please.
10:39Oh, I see.
10:41OK, great.
10:41Here we go.
10:43Take a guess and beat the odds.
10:45Take a guess and beat the odds.
10:47It's his bet.
10:49What's that about?
10:51I don't know.
10:52I see the clues just confusing.
10:54More, I told you.
10:55You've proven his theory.
10:57Exactly my plan.
11:00We're going to have to lock something in.
11:04A bet.
11:05I don't know.
11:05Just say what you think.
11:07Barge.
11:07Lock in barge.
11:08Lock in barge.
11:09Lock on with them.
11:12I'm afraid you're right to not be confident.
11:13That's the wrong answer.
11:15Do either of the other teams have any idea what it might be?
11:17Yes.
11:17Oh, hello, Kaz.
11:18Is it a bet?
11:19I'm afraid bet is wrong as well.
11:21Any other ideas?
11:23Paddleboat?
11:23No, paddleboat is wrong.
11:25Oh, I've foxed everyone.
11:26This is great news.
11:27The answer is punt.
11:28Punt is a wager.
11:29A big kick.
11:30Could also be a punt.
11:31Punt something.
11:32A narrow riverboat you'd have on a narrow waterway would be a punt.
11:35A clue was take a guess and beat the odds.
11:38And if you take a guess, you take a punt.
11:40Anyway, your clue was rubbish, according to Terry.
11:42It's all your fault, riddle master.
11:44It wasn't very helpful.
11:44All your fault.
11:46Yeah.
11:46OK.
11:47Well, nobody won any money on that riddle.
11:49But we do have one more riddle left in this round.
11:51So let's keep playing.
11:52A desk lamp named Luxo Jr. is the mascot of which animation studio
11:58that has released films including Toy Story and Monsters, Inc.?
12:03Terry and Steph.
12:05Pixar.
12:05Yes, correct.
12:08What is the regnal name of the man who was crowned king
12:12at Westminster Abbey in May 2023?
12:16Terry and Steph.
12:18King Charles.
12:19We can't accept that.
12:21What is the regnal name of the man who was crowned king
12:25at Westminster Abbey in May 2023?
12:29Christian and Oliver.
12:31King Charles III.
12:32That is correct.
12:34So the number was the key part, I'm afraid, of that answer.
12:40Which High Street brand launched as a catalogue retailer...
12:45Christian and Oliver.
12:46Argos.
12:46Yes, in 1973 and is named after a Greek city.
12:52Christian and Oliver, you're one correct answer away
12:54from unlocking the final riddle.
12:56The webdomain.gov is short for which word?
13:00Christian and Oliver.
13:01Government.
13:02Correct.
13:03Christian and Oliver, you're about to face the riddle master once more.
13:08Here we go.
13:08Last riddle of this round.
13:10I'm the day's events through word of mouth
13:13from the leaders of north, east, west and south.
13:17What am I?
13:20Like global news or something.
13:22I was trying to say how you were, like, pronounced the word.
13:24Maybe it revealed you at the vowels.
13:26I don't know.
13:26The day's events is like the news.
13:29So word of mouth sounds like a newspaper.
13:31OK.
13:34Like Daily Mail, that kind of thing.
13:36They have those names.
13:38They have those north, east.
13:41It's like global news or nationwide.
13:44Nationwide news or...
13:46Nationwide news.
13:46Word of mouth.
13:48Like rumour, gossip, that kind of stuff.
13:51Oh.
13:53Just news, I think.
13:55There's events through word of mouth.
13:56Probably.
13:57Just because it spells out news.
13:58Oh, yeah, news, yeah, north, east.
14:00That's all I've got.
14:01Oh, yeah.
14:02What are you locking in?
14:03News, please.
14:05News.
14:06Feeling confident?
14:09So-so.
14:10Yeah, I think so.
14:11You should feel confident because it's the right answer.
14:13News is correct.
14:14Yeah.
14:14The day's events, the news.
14:15And as you correctly identified, north, east, west and south.
14:19The leaders of those, the first letters, spell news.
14:23Brilliant stuff.
14:24OK, £100 to Christian and Oliver.
14:26And that was the final riddle of our opening round of the game today.
14:30So, Christian and Oliver have £450.
14:33Terry and Steph have £150.
14:36Oh, but just out of range, Misha and Kaz have £75,
14:41which very sadly means that we have to say goodbye already.
14:44Misha and Kaz, I just want to say, you're a very active pair, aren't you?
14:48You're engaged already, is that right?
14:49Yeah.
14:50That's lovely to see.
14:51What do you do, Misha?
14:52So, I'm a bartender and supply teacher.
14:54Yeah, but you met at gymnastics, isn't that right?
14:57Yeah, I used to be a gymnastics coach.
14:59Fantastic.
15:00All right, well, it's been lovely to meet you
15:01and I'm sorry we have to say goodbye so early.
15:04Thank you so much.
15:05And that's it for part one.
15:06Henry, how about another riddle for our viewers
15:08to muse over the break?
15:10Here's one to muse.
15:11Tom's father has three sons.
15:13Jim and John are the first two.
15:15What's the third son's name?
15:16I'll give you the answer when we come back from the break.
15:29Welcome back.
15:30Now, before the break, Henry, remind us of that riddle, will you?
15:33I asked, Tom's father has three sons.
15:35Jim and John are the first two.
15:38What's the third son's name?
15:39Rambo?
15:40This is a classic, isn't it?
15:41It is a classic.
15:42I love this.
15:43Yes.
15:43Now, Steph, you're nodding away.
15:45Tom?
15:45Tom, very simple, of course.
15:47Yeah, we love that one.
15:48You've lulled us into a false sense of security
15:51as we head into round two.
15:52Absolutely.
15:52An easy break bumper ready for some hardcore
15:55second round visual puzzles.
15:57Yes, exactly.
15:59Now, Terry and Steph, Christian and Oliver,
16:01how have you been preparing for Ridiculous?
16:03Besides absolutely winging it with the general knowledge,
16:07I think we do often do riddles at work.
16:10What do you do for work together?
16:12Health advisors for the 111 service.
16:14Right, so when nobody answers the call,
16:16it's because you two are solving riddles.
16:17Is that right?
16:18We're with you in a minute.
16:19You're all right.
16:20And what about you, Terry and Steph?
16:22Do you get any time with the kids to practice anything?
16:25Not really.
16:26We might get about half an hour now in the night, don't we?
16:28So we've been trying to watch as many episodes as we can.
16:31Great.
16:32OK, well, let's take a look at how you're doing so far.
16:35Terry and Steph, you have got £150.
16:38And Christian and Oliver, you have £450.
16:42But, honestly, that gap really doesn't mean a great deal
16:46because as we go into round two,
16:48there is a lot more money that can be won.
16:50So here, general knowledge answers from me are worth £50.
16:55Once again, you do need three to unlock a riddle.
16:58And the riddles are a bit different, aren't they now, Henry?
17:01They certainly are.
17:02So in this round, you're going to be facing visual riddles.
17:04So as you might expect, they contain pictures,
17:06but also numbers, shapes and words.
17:08And they're a bit trickier.
17:09But if you get them right, they're worth £200 each.
17:12Now, remember, only one person from each team
17:16will be able to answer the riddle.
17:18And that person will have just 60 seconds to get it right.
17:23Also, in this round, if you get your riddle wrong,
17:27then it will be offered to the opposing team for a steal.
17:30But, of course, before all of that,

18:59the first visual riddle of this round.
19:02Shall I show you the categories?
19:04There are words, shapes and pictures.
19:06So, I guess the question is,
19:08who feels more confident with which category?
19:13I think I should go first.
19:16Yeah.

21:18Actually, the end of the question are known as Whovians.
21:21You knew it.
21:22You're obviously fans of this show.
21:23Oh, yeah, yeah.
21:24I've watched it every week.
21:25I quite enjoy it.
21:26I see what you get out of this now.
21:28Yes.

21:30I love it.
21:31I love it.
21:32OK, Terry and Steph, very well done.
21:34So here we are.
21:35OK, you're looking at each other because you know you're going to throw each other under
21:39the bus here, aren't you?
21:41Shall we just have a look at the categories?
21:43Yeah.
21:43You've got shapes and pictures.
21:45Who wants to take one?
21:46I think Terry should take pictures because he's very quick at this at home.
21:50So that's it.
21:51You are throwing me under the bus.
21:52I'll have a good picture.
21:53Terry.

22:23Back to the Future.
22:23Well done, yeah.
22:24Thank you very much.
22:25So let's give you the £200 that you have just earned by solving that riddle.
22:31Let's carry on.
22:32In the name of a traditional board game, what reptiles are paired with ladders?
22:38Christian and Oliver.
22:40Snakes.
22:40Yeah, it was an obvious one.
22:41It was a question of speed there, and you got right in there.
22:44OK.
22:45The large sandstone monolith named Uluru is in which country?
22:49Christian and Oliver.

23:22Yeah, you gave it a right.
23:23Oh, wow.
23:24Didn't you?
23:24You put your arm.
23:25I'm getting this one, she said.
23:27Well done.
23:27Well, it's a good job you did, because right now, you're neck and neck in terms of who might face
23:32the Riddle Master next.
23:33So, on this next question, there's a lot riding.
23:36So, good luck to both teams.
23:38Which plush toys with symbols on their tummies?
23:44Terry and Steph.
23:45Hopefully it's Care Bears.
23:47Well, I think I've got it wrong.
23:48Care Bears is correct.
23:50Yes.
23:52A really impressive interception.
23:54Which plush toys with symbols on their tummies were launched in the 1980s with characters including Funshine, Love A Lot
24:01and Grumpy.
24:03Nothing to be grumpy about here for you, Terry and Steph.
24:06So, you have one final category.
24:09So, that choice is made for you.
24:11It's shapes, but you do have to decide who wants to face the Riddle Master.
24:15I'm going to let Terry do it again.
24:16Oh, yeah, nice one.
24:17Yeah, you did so well last time.
24:19I see how your relationship works, actually.
24:21I understand where the power lies now.
24:23The whole country is seen as well.
24:24Yeah, exactly, exactly.
24:27Brave stuff from Terry there.
24:29What have you got for him?
24:30Here we go, Terry, again.
24:3160 seconds to give me a correct answer after I've finished reading the Riddle that goes with this.
24:35Which shape should appear on the final pillar?
24:38Your time starts now.
24:41Absolutely no idea.
24:46Erm...
24:47I mean, thanks for this, Steph.
24:51A, I mean, I don't even know how to start trying to work that out.
24:55E, W.
24:58So, A, W, upside down.
25:01I've got C, similar to the middle one.
25:07I've absolutely no idea.
25:09You've got 30 seconds left.
25:10Yeah, I don't even know how to verbally try to work it out.
25:13I mean, if I was going to hazard a guess, and it would be an absolute guess,
25:18I'd probably say...
25:20That's it, D, D, E.
25:23I've absolutely no idea.
25:25Are you locking in an answer?
25:27Yeah.
25:28It's a complete guess.
25:29What are you locking in, Terry?
25:30E.
25:31E?
25:31Yeah.
25:33It's the wrong answer.
25:34OK, no more time for thinking for Christian and Oliver, but there is a steal available.
25:38What's your answer?
25:39C.
25:39C, Christian, why?
25:41It looks like it spells weight.
25:44The letters look like a W, an E, an I, a G and a H.
25:49C's make two T's.
25:50It is the right answer, yeah.
25:51Well done.
25:52A very gracious interview, Terry.
25:54Giving you a round of applause there.
25:57So, you're on each column, each of the letters is there, but mirrored against itself, right?
26:01So, that's a W mirrored with a W, an E with an E, an I with an I, a G
26:05with a G, an H with an H,
26:07and finally a T with a T.
26:09And, of course, yeah, you've got the scales there as well.
26:10There's a bit of a clue to give you what the word would be.
26:13Weight, yeah.
26:14Steph's doing what I do.
26:15It's like, oh, that sort of...
26:18It all dawns on you eventually.
26:21Yeah, I know.
26:22Actually, that was a great steal from Christian and Oliver.
26:26So, that means you get £100 added to your prize pot.
26:29That was, in fact, the final riddle of this middle round.
26:33So, Terry and Steph, you have £750.
26:36Christian and Oliver, you've broken the £1,000 barrier.
26:39You've got £1,050.
26:41But, of course, all of that can change in the deciding round.
26:45So, stay focused.
26:47Over the break, though, Henry, what kind of riddle have you got for us?
26:51I've got a fantastic one over this break.
26:53Believe me, I'll look after your money.
26:55What am I?
26:56Believe me, I'll look after your money.
26:58What am I?
26:59I'll give you the answer after the break.
27:11Welcome back to Ridiculous,
27:13the ridiculously clever and brain-teasing show.
27:16Now, before the break, Henry, what was that riddle?
27:18The riddle was, believe me, I'll look after your money.
27:21What am I?
27:22Rambo, what do you think?
27:23Sounds like what you said to me on our night out the other day.
27:26Actually, where is my tenner?
27:28Not me. I'm not the right answer.
27:30Yes, a liar.
27:31A liar?
27:33Any ideas, Terry and Steph, Christian and Oliver?
27:35Well, the letter Z.
27:40That's so stupid.
27:41It comes up to Y.
27:42I don't know.
27:43After the Y of money.
27:45I see what you're doing.
27:45Yeah, Z, but no, Z is not the right answer.
27:48No, it's really about if you believe in someone, what might you do?
27:52You sort of, if you have belief in someone.
27:54Trust.
27:54You trust them, yeah, absolutely.
27:55And where might you keep your money if you want to keep it safe?
27:58Trust.
27:58At Trust Fund.
27:59Exactly right.
28:00Trust Fund is the right answer.
28:02Right, that was a fantastic one.
28:04I still want me to turn her back.
28:05Anyway, talk about that after the show, shall we?
28:08Right, listen, teams.
28:09We're now heading into our deciding round.
28:12So, your prize pots are £750 and £1,050.
28:18But this is where the competition gets serious.
28:22As the team with the highest prize pot at the end of this round
28:26will be going through to the final to face Henry's riddle run.
28:31This time, the questions from me are worth £100.
28:36And the riddles have shot up in value, haven't they?
28:39Certainly have.
28:40These are the hardest riddles you've faced so far.
28:42If you get them right in this deciding round,
28:44they're worth £300 each.
28:46Terry and Steph, you're only £300 behind.
28:49There you go.
28:50OK.
28:51Everything to play for.
28:52Good luck.
28:53Let's play.

29:51Well, so whoever answers this next general knowledge question correctly
29:56will face the riddle master.
29:59Which UK city is known colloquially as Brom?
30:03BEEP.
30:04Christian and Oliver.
30:05Birmingham.
30:06Yep.
30:06Everybody knew that.
30:07It was a question of speed.
30:08Christian and Oliver, you got in there first.
30:10So, Henry, what have you got?
30:13Here we go.
30:13I'm a beak you seek after eating a treat in a restaurant seat.
30:18What am I?
30:19I assume napkinship might get messy and need to clean your face.
30:23Yeah, that's a good point, actually.
30:24Napkins, because they're swans.
30:27You can make a swan out of a napkin.
30:28Oh.
30:29That's actually a really good point.
30:32I was thinking some kind of sweet to clear your, you know, your...
30:35Yeah, absolutely, yeah.
30:36Or some kind of drink, you know, from like a...
30:39Not a beak, but, you know, like a drink or...
30:43I was trying to say...
30:44I'm a beak.
30:45I have the clue.
30:48Maybe as well use...
30:48Clue, please.
30:49Could I have the clue, please?
30:50Here's your clue.
30:51Here's a tip.
30:51Dinner's on me.
30:52The bill.
30:53The bill.
30:55Yeah, of course.
30:56It would be.
30:57Yeah.
30:58Could we go with the bill, please?
30:59The bill?
31:00Oliver, why?
31:01Bill's a kind of bird, I think.
31:03Obviously, you have it after you've eaten, so you pay the bill off.
31:07You generally don't dine and dash.
31:10Generally.
31:12You mean you might on occasion?
31:13Good grief.
31:14What a grief.
31:16Bill is the right answer.
31:18No, I was worried when we went down the sort of swan napkin tangent.
31:22No, Bill is right.
31:23And, of course, Bill isn't a bird necessarily,
31:25but a bill is another name for a beak, right?
31:27So a beak that you seek, the bill you seek at the end of the meal, yeah,
31:30after you've eaten a treat in a restaurant seat.
31:32The clue is a tip.
31:33Dinner's on me.
31:34Of course, you'd add a tip to a bill as well.
31:35Well done.
31:35£300 added to the prize clock for Christian and Oliver.

32:30from unlocking the next high-value riddle.
32:33How many red balls are on the table at the start of a game of snooker?
32:38Terry and Steph.

32:46Good luck.
32:47At universities, we are used to grade students,
32:49and in the workplace, we are a means to measure office temps.
32:54What are we?
32:55So, at university, we're used to grade students,
32:57so exams in the workplace, we are used to...
32:59Or an assessment, erm...
33:01And in the workplace, we are a means to measure office temps.
33:05Er...
33:06Exam...
33:07Thermometer...
33:07Well, no, not office temperatures, like office temps,
33:10maybe, like, a member of the staff who's just started.
33:12Why universities?
33:13Why not just school, though, if we were going to say, like,
33:16exams, assessments?
33:17We are used to grade students, grade.
33:20And in the workplace, we are a means to measure office temps.
33:24Er...
33:25Some...
33:26A degree?
33:27A degree?
33:27Go ahead.
33:28A degree.
33:29A degree.
33:30Can we lock in degree?
33:31Yeah.
33:32Or degrees?
33:33You're locking in degrees?
33:34Yeah.
33:34Steph, why?
33:35Because of universities, that's how we...
33:38We finish with a degree, but obviously the temperature,
33:41the degrees of the temperature room.
33:44Steph is the right answer.
33:45Well done, yeah.
33:46I've just done a degree.
33:47I should have been there, I should have been right there.
33:50The moment of inspiration at the end, yeah.
33:52A degree, that's what you'd get at the end of your university time.
33:54You get a degree, office temperature, Fahrenheit or Celsius,
33:57you'd use degrees to measure temperature, yeah.
34:00I think the temperature was going a bit high in this studio for a bit.
34:02It was a bit hot under the collar, that one, wasn't it?
34:04I thought I'd achieved full brain melt, but at the end, you managed to...
34:09What have you just graduated in, Steph?
34:11Teaching.
34:12Have you?
34:12Yeah.
34:13Well, there you go.
34:13Yeah, in the early years, I'm more...
34:15You're on the complete other end.
34:17The complete other end.
34:18You could have a degree in riddle solving after this, possibly.
34:21Brilliant.
34:22That's £300 added to Terry and Steph's prize pot.
34:27Oh, my goodness.
34:28Henry, have you seen this?
34:30Mm, very close.

35:52Red tired heart.
35:54Yeah.
35:55You'll be on your way to visit me.
35:56Well, thinking more doctor.
35:58Yeah.
35:59Hospital.
36:00Hospital.
36:00My network transports many things underground.
36:04So, our spot doesn't have many networks.
36:06What about blood, though?
36:07What if it's...
36:08That might be raised.
36:09Blood underground.
36:10No, but, you know, like, metaphorically.
36:12We'll find...
36:13Okay.
36:14Sewers.
36:15I was thinking, honestly, we're thinking that.
36:17Oh, it could be sewer.
36:18Sewers.
36:18It's like feeling flushed.
36:20Yeah, yeah.
36:21Sewage system, yeah.
36:22It's got many things underground.
36:23We'll go with sewage.
36:24Sewers.
36:25I think.
36:26Yeah.
36:27Okay.
36:28Okay.
36:29Yeah.
36:29What are you locking in, Oliver?
36:30Sewers, please.
36:31Sewers.
36:34Sewers is the right answer.
36:35Well done.
36:35Yeah.
36:36Correct.
36:36At one point, you thought there was a sort of underground look of blood.
36:40He said that.
36:41Terrifying from someone who runs LHS 111.
36:43But, sewer was the right answer in the end.
36:46Yeah.
36:46Flush toilets go down to the sewers.
36:48Network of underground tunnels.
36:49No trains in the sewers.
36:50Well done.
36:50Very well earned.
36:51Another £300 into your prize pot, Christian and Oliver.
36:55So, let's take a look at what all of that means.
36:58Christian and Oliver.
36:59£2,250.
37:02Brilliant stuff.
37:02Terry and Steph, you really did push them all the way to the end.
37:07You ended up with £1,550, which means it is, I'm afraid, time to say goodbye to Terry
37:14and Steph.
37:16Thank you so much for being with us.
37:17What's your experience been like?
37:19It's been brilliant, yeah.
37:20I've got a lot better than before we did.
37:21Well, you did really, really well.
37:23Now, after the break, Christian and Oliver will face Henry's riddled run and we'll see how
37:27they cope under that pressure with all that cash that they've accumulated up for grabs.
37:32But first, Henry, we need a break, but not if you're at home.
37:36No, we don't give you a break at home.
37:37No breaks.
37:38We'll have another riddle.
37:39I'm a little rodent that's pretty good at opening and dragging files.
37:42What am I?
37:43I'll give you the answer when we come back.
37:56Welcome back.
37:57This is Ridiculous.
37:58Henry, what was that devious riddle that you just posed for us?
38:01Before the break, I asked, I'm a little rodent that's pretty good at opening and dragging
38:05files.
38:06What am I?
38:07Christian and Oliver, you're our champion riddle solvers today.
38:11So, what do you think?
38:13Probably say mouse.
38:14It's what you use to move things as a computer.
38:17Absolutely right.
38:18Mouse is the correct answer.
38:19Of course, a rodent mouse and, of course, a computer mouse moves in dregs files.
38:23Yeah, well done.
38:24That was a gentle one.
38:25I like that because I know because I got it.
38:28Anything harder than that and I'm a complete blank, as you know.
38:31Right, listen, Christian and Oliver, well done.
38:33You've made it through to the final.
38:35How do you feel?
38:36Yeah, really happy, obviously.
38:38A bit nervous.
38:39A bit nervous.
38:40Yeah, because you've still got a big, you know, final to get through.
38:43But I know you do take part in other kinds of competitions, but I'm not sure they're as
38:47strenuous as this one.
38:50Yeah, definitely almost no time pressure on that one.
38:52My dad always taught me to bake when I was younger rather than cooking, baking.
38:56That was always his speciality.
38:59I won second in the Rotherham show, Four Scones.
39:02Hello.
39:03And Victoria's Sponge, I got third place.
39:05Third place in Victoria's Sponge?
39:07Yep.
39:07Did you bring any samples for me and Henry today?
39:11Don't ask, don't get, I guess.
39:12Oh, hello.
39:13Hang on a minute.
39:14Right, well, you know you've got to face Henry in a minute.
39:15I'd be very careful.
39:16You could have done with a sweetener, maybe.
39:18But listen, you've done very, very well under the pressure of ridiculous.
39:23You've managed to accrue £2,250 today.
39:28So what will you spend that money on?
39:30Well, I can't really go back on it now.
39:32I said I would treat my dad to Venice, his most cherished place.
39:35Wow.
39:35And my mum always wanted to go to the Ritz Hotel for afternoon tea.
39:41Gorgeous.
39:41And what about you, Oliver?
39:43I'd like a trip to maybe Los Angeles.
39:46I want to do a PhD, so it might help go towards that.
39:49Or probably some new skating boots.
39:50They cost me on my legs.
39:52What's your PhD in?
39:54Microbiology.
39:54That's what I specialise in.
39:56So it's quite interesting.
39:57It's the two sides of your character.
39:58Either LA, living it up, or a PhD in microbiology.
40:01I love it.
40:02Now, listeners, you know, to take home £2,250.
40:06You're going to face Henry's riddle run.
40:08Henry, what do they have to do?
40:11So in my riddle run, you will be faced with puzzles
40:13in which words are represented by a combination of pictures and letters.
40:18They're also known as rebus riddles,
40:19and the answers are phrases, sayings,
40:21or a combination of words familiar to all.
40:24Christian and Oliver, the rules are simple.
40:27There are ten riddles in all.
40:29You need six correct in 60 seconds
40:33to take home the money that you've built up so far.
40:36If you're not sure about a particular riddle,
40:39just say pass, and you can come back to it later.
40:42And that's not all.
40:43If you do answer six correctly,
40:46you'll then have the chance to double your winnings
40:49and take home £4,500.
40:52Don't worry, if it all went wrong,
40:53you would still go home with our collectible teacup and saucer.
40:57That's what I came for.
40:58First, though, you've got to face Henry's riddle run.
41:02Are you ready?
41:03Yep.
41:04Henry, over to you. Good luck.
41:06Thank you, Rambo. Good luck indeed.
41:07Christian and Oliver, your 60 seconds will start
41:09as soon as your first riddle is revealed.
41:12Let's play.
41:18Middle of the week.
41:19End of the week.
41:20Correct.
41:21Weekend.
41:21Weekend.
41:24What's the sharpest knife?
41:25Spreading the word.
41:26Correct.
41:28Middle prize.
41:30Second prize.
41:32Correct.
41:34Tears of the wolf.
41:36Wolf's tears.
41:38Fry wolf.
41:39Correct.
41:44Hang in there.
41:45Correct.
41:46Lord of the Rings.
41:47Correct.
41:50Yes, very well done.
41:52There's a sort of eerie silence in between.
41:55I couldn't feel even your energy,
41:57but you were just thinking so carefully.
42:00You've just won £2,250.
42:05Thank you very much.
42:07Relieved?
42:09Yeah.
42:10Now the other teams are out, yeah.
42:12Yeah.
42:13A little bit.
42:13So should we take a look through the riddle run, Henry?
42:16Congratulations, guys.
42:16That was very good.
42:17Very methodically done.
42:18It was very calm and kind of very collected.
42:20Yeah, nice.
42:20So you got them all right.
42:21No passes at all.
42:23Six on the bounce.
42:24Weekend, of course.
42:25Or end of the week, we accept as well, which I think you said first.
42:28And then you got this one.
42:29Spread the word.
42:29Or spreading the word.
42:30Yeah, brilliant.
42:31You also got this one.
42:32Second prize.
42:33Second prize, that one.
42:34Fantastic.
42:35Of course, the prize, the second one.
42:36This one you got stuck on for a little while.
42:38Of course, cry wolf is the expression, rather than wolf tears.
42:43And then hang in there.
42:44A tricky one, this one.
42:45Of course, the word hang hidden inside.
42:47Yeah, well done.
42:48Hang in there.
42:50And then you got this one.
42:51Last of all, lord of the rings.
42:54Lord of the riddles?
42:56I am.
42:57Yeah, well, you'd like to take that crown, wouldn't you?
43:00You've managed to win £2,250.
43:02If that's enough for you, then we're absolutely delighted for you.
43:06You can finish the game and leave with that money.
43:08Or you can choose to face one last riddle.
43:13This time, you'll have just 20 seconds to give an answer.
43:17If you get it right, you will double your winnings and take away £4,500.
43:24But if you can't find the right answer in that time, you will lose everything.
43:29And then you'll leave with nothing, apart from, of course, our teacup and saucer.
43:33And we'll give you one each.
43:34Oh.
43:35There you go.
43:36If that's in any way going to sway your decision, I've no idea.
43:39But it is up to you.
43:40What would you like to do?
43:41We decided, before we came here, chatting in the car, all the way here,
43:47if we won over £1,000, which I think we've over doubled that,
43:51we would just take the money and not be greedy, basically.
43:55You're going to play it safe and take it home.
43:58All right.
43:58Well, congratulations.
44:00You're walking away with £2,250.
44:03In many ways, you've overachieved.
44:06Because you only thought you were going to get a ground.
44:08But there you are.
44:09Brilliant.
44:09So, Henry, would you like to just needle them a little bit before they go home?
44:13We've got to see whether you would have got it.
44:15So, you would have had...
44:16Had you chosen to play, 20 seconds to answer this.
44:19Right, give it a go.
44:22Fail.
44:26Last chance.
44:32Third time's the chart now.
44:35Anything?
44:38Fourth time looking.
44:39And that is the end of your time.
44:41That would have been your 20 seconds.
44:42So, you made the right choice not to play it.
44:44Absolutely.
44:44Absolutely.
44:45Because you did not know what that was.
44:47Rambi, do you know what it is?
44:48No, but I think it's a cruel one to have.
44:51Because you're a failure at this point, if you don't get it.
44:54I don't know.
44:55I've seen you like a failure.
44:58Without fail is the right answer.
45:00Without fail.
45:00Oh, my gosh.
45:01That's so good.
45:02Yeah, of course, fail is missing at the bottom there.
45:04So, that one is without fail.
45:06Yeah.
45:06That's a good one.
45:07Listen, it doesn't matter.
45:08You're victorious today.
45:10Christian and Oliver, you go home with £2,250.
45:15Congratulations.
45:15Thank you very much.
45:16It's been a joy to have you on the show.
45:18Thank you so much, Henry.
45:19Thank you, Rambi.
45:20Great riddles today.
45:21Enjoyed all of them.
45:22Thank you so much for joining us at home.
45:24And we'll see you next time for more Ridiculous Riddles.
