00:18Welcome to Ridiculous, the ridiculously clever show where three teams of riddle solvers take
00:24on our devious riddle master. Hello, Henry. Hi, Revit. Now, are you ready to do another
00:29tricksy show? I certainly am. I've got some particularly mischievous riddles. I mean,
00:34this is a good one. Dressed up in my smartest best, you'll find me sat behind a desk. I'll bring
00:40the nation information when events unfold and I'm never old. What am I? Any ideas? Well, I think it
00:48sounds like my day job. Is it newsreader? Newsreader is the right answer. Well done. I'm chuffed to biz.
00:53Thank you so much, Henry. What a delightful way to start the show. Shall we meet today's teams?
00:59Who's with us today? I'm Jonathan and this is my colleague, Dale, and we're both from Skipson
01:03and Kiefer. I'm Shivani. This is my partner, Lokesh, and we're from London. I'm Lily. This
01:08is my mum, Tori, and we're from Essex. Well, super to have you all on the show. Now, I was
01:12just showing off, though. I don't know if any of you noticed. You gave us an excellent riddle.
01:16Just explain it one more time. So, yeah, dressed up in my smartest best, you'll find me sat behind
01:20a desk. Of course, that's a newsreader, right? Smartly dressed and behind a desk. I'll bring
01:24the nation information when events unfold. That's what a newsreader does. And I'm never old,
01:28because the news is always new. And I've had my Botox, so I never look old either. Fantastic
01:32news. All brilliant all round. Right. Super to have you all on the show, teams. Jonathan
01:38and Dale, I'm glad you dressed up for the events. I like it already. Do not adjust your
01:43sets. They are genuinely wearing very bright shirts. This is how this show is going to work.
01:48You're going to face a series of riddles from Henry. And in order to unlock each riddle,
01:53you'll first have to correctly answer three general knowledge questions. Now, in this first round,
01:59questions are worth £25. Henry, how much are your riddles worth? In the first round,
02:03the riddles are worth £100. And they're the easiest you're going to face. So, it's important
02:07to get these ones right. And we will be saying goodbye to one team at the end of this round.
02:12So,
02:12every question is important. If you're ready, let's play.
02:17OK. First question. The icon for which app pre-installed on the iPhone features a cloud
02:25and a sun? Shivani and Lakesh. The weather app. Correct. You're up and running. £25. Which

03:50times. I'm constantly being compared to her. Mini me. Oh, that's lovely. So would you say
03:55that you're best friends? Honestly? Yeah. It's a very close relationship. We get on like
04:01best friends rather than like a kind of parent and child, which is quite sweet. Isn't that
04:05lovely? Well, I hope you work well as a team. Clearly you do. You're about to face your first
04:10riddle. You do have a clue from Henry to use at any time during the game if you get stuck,
04:14but you only get one, so don't waste it. OK, Henry, what have you got for the first riddle?
04:18I am both one and many, and they say I'm easily led. True. I can be a little woolly,
04:25but think of me in bed. What am I? Like woolly. So like woolly's kind of going to probably
04:32be like a sheep. Yeah. Yeah, I think so. Oh, wait, and think of me in bed. So like
04:37you count sheep when you're... Both one and many, so it's sheep is both singular
04:42and plural. Oh, of course, yes. And easily led. Easily led. You're a sheep if you follow
04:47the herd. Oh, yes, of course. Yeah. So yes, I think. We'll go with sheep, I think.
04:51Sheep. Sheep. Pretty confident. Yes. It's the right answer. Well done. Yeah, sheep. Lots
04:56of bits to that. You think you've got all of them? Singular and plural, both one and

13:01What am I?
13:03Come to...
13:04Come to help you lap.
13:05Lap around the map.
13:06Around a map.
13:07So if you're reading a map...
13:09You could...
13:09Yeah.
13:10You'd have, like...
13:11You'd have, like, a compass in the corner.
13:12You'd need a compass.
13:14Almost comes to pass.
13:16Oh, yeah, it could come...
13:18Almost...
13:18And if compass points...
13:19It almost spells compass.
13:20And they point the way.
13:22Every day, they point the way.
13:23Yeah.
13:23Yes.
13:24So we'll say compass.
13:26Compass.
13:27Feeling good?
13:28Yes.
13:28Yeah.
13:29You should.
13:30It's the right answer.

13:33Well done, yeah.
13:33You'll be doing very well on these.
13:34Of course, compass points the way.
13:36Yeah, almost comes to pass.
13:38Comes to pass.
13:38Almost spells compass.
13:39And, of course, compass helps you find your way on a map.
13:42Yeah, well done.
13:43Very good.
13:44Right.
13:44OK, so another £100 to Lily and Tori.
13:49So, teams, at the end of that round, Lily and Tori have £550.
13:55Shivani and Lakesh, you have £175.
13:58And Jonathan and Dale, I'm sorry to say, you had £150.
14:02So, you just missed out on going through to the next round of the game.
14:06I'm so sorry.
14:07Yeah, it's just one of those things, isn't it?
14:08Yeah, it's not the right questions.
14:10And, as I say, it's a lot easier when the answers are in front of you.
14:14Yes.
14:14Right.
14:15Well, I hope you've enjoyed your time on the show.
14:17Yeah, it's been wonderful.
14:18It's been lovely to have you here.
14:19Thank you so much.
14:20And that's it for part one.
14:21Henry, could we have another riddle for us all to chew over?
14:25You certainly can.
14:26What is on the back foot and a way to say to man's best friends they must obey?
14:30I'll give you the answer when we come back.
14:43Welcome back.
14:44Now, before the break, what was that riddle you set us?
14:47The riddle was, what is on the back foot and a way to say to man's best friends they must
14:53obey?
14:55OK, what do you guys think?
14:56We think it's a heel.
14:58Heel, yeah.
14:59Heel is the right answer.
15:00Yeah, of course.
15:00Yes.
15:01The back of the foot is the heel.
15:02You might say heel to a dog.
15:04Man's best friend.
15:04Yeah, well done.
15:05Yeah, you might say it to my dog.
15:07He totally ignores me and wanders off on his own merry way.
15:10Yes, a useless instruction in my home, I'm afraid.
15:13But a good riddle.
15:14A great riddle.
15:15Now, Shivani and Likesh, Lily and Tori, well done.
15:18You're here in round two.
15:20Now, Shivani and Likesh, I'm sure you realise this.
15:23You didn't unlock any of the riddles.
15:25Is it the speed of the general knowledge?
15:27Are you nervous?
15:28I think it's a bit of both.
15:29A bit of both, yeah.
15:30Yeah, and when the riddles came up in that round, did you get them?
15:34Yeah, I think so.
15:36Oh, you did.
15:36So when you get to the riddles, you're probably going to be fine, are you?
15:39Well, listen, Lily and Tori, you're doing really well.
15:41You've got £550 in your prize pot.
15:43Shivani and Likesh, you've got £170.
15:45But just ignore that gap, really, because really anything can change, as you both know.
15:49So in round two, the questions are now worth £50.
15:53Once again, you need three correct answers to unlock a riddle.
15:57And those riddles are really fun and interesting this time.
16:01So in this round, you're going to be facing visual riddles.
16:05So those riddles involve pictures, but also numbers, shapes and words.
16:08They're a little bit trickier than the ones you've been facing in the first round.
16:11If you get them right, they're worth £200 each.
16:14Yes, and in this round, only one member of each team will be able to face that riddle.
16:20You'll have just 60 seconds to get it right.
16:23And if you get your riddle wrong, it will then be offered to the opposing team for a steal.
16:28So there's a lot can change in this round.
16:31Shake off those nerves.
16:32Put your hands by the buzzers.
16:34Some more general knowledge questions coming your way.
16:37Let's play.

17:21Yes, great knowledge.
17:22OK, so here we are.

17:28at the categories?
17:29Yeah, go on.
17:30Yeah.
17:30OK, you've got names, shapes and letters.

17:41Letters.
17:42OK.
17:42Now, you haven't used your clue.
17:44No.
17:45So you can still use it in this round.
17:47So if you say clue, we'll stop the clock, Henry will read it all out, then we'll restart the clock.
17:53Lily, it's you against the clock and our riddle master with letters.
17:5760 seconds, Lily, to give me a correct answer after I've finished reading the riddle that goes with this.
18:02Which lettered block is baby Henry going to place on top of the final two numbers?

18:23Oh.
18:28M8.
18:30Take away.
18:37You've got 30 seconds left.
18:40I don't know if I should use the clue or not.
18:46I really...
18:47I'm trying to think.
18:49J, M.
18:50Or should I just guess?
18:54M2.
18:57You've got 10 seconds, lock something in.
18:59Yeah, I'm going to go with S.
19:02OK, S is locked in.
19:04S, Lily.
19:04Yes.
19:05I'm afraid it's wrong.
19:07OK, Shivani and Lakesh, what's your answer for a steal?
19:11I'm going to go with O.
19:12O?
19:14Why do you think it's O, Shivani?
19:16Somewhat of a guess.
19:18Another guess, yeah.
19:18OK.
19:19I'm afraid it's wrong as well.
19:21It's a tricky one.
19:22It is a tricky one.
19:23The first thing you've got to do is work out what the letters represent.
19:26O.
19:26Oh, my...
19:27Yes.
19:28The months.
19:29They're the months of the year.
19:29The months of the year, exactly.
19:31So now you know that, can you work out which one goes on top?
19:34April?
19:35A.
19:35A for April.
19:36A, exactly.
19:37A for April and August, yeah.
19:38So on the first stack there, we have J above 1, 6 and 7,
19:41and that's because J is the first letter of January, the first month,
19:44June, the sixth month, and July, the seventh month.
19:47The second tower is the third and fifth month, so that's March and May.
19:50So you're looking for the letter that starts the fourth and eighth month,
19:53which are April and August, so the answer is A.
19:56Tricky.
19:57Also, might I say, you make a very cute baby.
19:58Thanks very much.
19:59Well, it proves the rumours that I was born in this suit.
20:03Yes, yes, you were born a riddle master.
20:06I love it.
20:08Listen, we've got two more visual riddles here.
20:10Hands by the buzzers.
20:11Good luck.
20:13What name is shared by a precious gem and the inner playing field in a game of baseball?
20:20Shivani and Lakesh.
20:21Diamond.
20:21Correct.
20:22£50 to Shivani and Lakesh.
20:25In which European country is the pilgrim trail called the Camino de Santiago?
20:32Shivani and Lakesh.
20:33Spain.
20:34Correct.
20:35Right, Shivani and Lakesh, one away from unlocking your first riddle.
20:39Foot Fault is a 2024 documentary about which Australian comedian and presenter of The Last Leg?
20:50It's Adam Hills.
20:52Which fizzy sweet filled with sherbet is also a term for an unidentified flying object?
20:58Lily and Tori.
21:00UFO.
21:01Incorrect.
21:02Which fizzy sweet filled with sherbet is also a term for an unidentified flying object?
21:08Shivani and Lakesh.
21:09A satellite.
21:11No.
21:12Do you not remember in the pick and mix?
21:13It's the flying saucer.
21:14Flying saucer.
21:15Yes, it's the flying saucer.
21:16Right, next question.
21:18Which Shakespeare play is the inspiration for the musical West Side Story?
21:23Lily and Tori.
21:24Romeo and Juliet.
21:25Yes, correct.
21:26With your musical backgrounds, that was an easy one for you guys.
21:30The RAF veteran, Peter Corby, invented a device designed to press what item of clothing?
21:38Lily and Tori.
21:39Trousers.
21:40Yes, the Corby press.
21:41Well done.
21:42Right, OK.
21:42OK, so Lily and Tori, Shivani and Lakesh.
21:45A lot riding on this next question from me.
21:48Which Scottish city on the River Tay has been described as the city of jute, jam and journalism?
21:56BEEP
21:56Shivani and Lakesh.
21:58Edinburgh?
21:58Incorrect.
22:00Incorrect.
22:00Which...
22:01Lily and Tori?
22:02Glasgow?
22:03Incorrect.
22:03The answer's actually Dundee.
22:06The abbreviation ETA stands for estimated time of what?
22:11Lily and Tori?
22:12Arrival.
22:12Yes, perfect.
22:14Right, so Lily and Tori.
22:16Lily, you took on the last one.
22:18Yeah, you can do this one.
22:20I'm not doing another one.
22:21Yeah, Mum has to take the pressure this time.
22:23So, let's take a look at which categories you have.
22:26You've got names and shapes, Tori.
22:29I don't know.
22:29Names seems to be quite a new one for this series, so let's have a go at that.
22:33OK, lovely.
22:34Right, here we go.
22:35Names it is for Tori.
22:37Tori, 60 seconds to give me that right answer after I've finished reading the riddle that goes
22:42with this.
22:42What is the name of the person who hung out these clothes to dry?
22:46Your time starts now.
22:48Name of the person who hung these clothes to dry.
22:56It's obviously got something to do with what is hung on the line.
23:01Dress, skirt, sock, trousers, jumper.
23:06Or the shapes of them.
23:10Ah.
23:20Person who hung these clothes out to dry.
23:23Two, three, four.
23:26Pink, orange.
23:28Pink, green.
23:32Out to dry.
23:36I can't get it from there, so I'm going to go a bit abstract and say peg.
23:43Peg.
23:44Peggy, because pegs have hung them out to dry.
23:48There are pegs there.
23:50It's the wrong answer, I'm afraid.
23:51OK, Shivani and Lakesh, for a steal, no more talking between you.
23:55What's the answer?
23:56Emily.
23:58Emily, Lakesh, why?
23:59It's five letters long.
24:01Five letters long and there are five items of clothing.
24:05It's a bit of a reach.
24:08I mean, the list could be quite long if that's the methodology.
24:11Yeah, I'm afraid Emily is wrong as well.
24:14Yeah, I know.
24:15Not Emily.
24:15You know, Ravia.
24:16Well, I do and I'm usually rubbish at these ones.
24:18Like, Lily, did you get it?
24:19It's poppy.
24:20Yeah.
24:20Colours.
24:21Pink, orange.
24:22Pink, pink, yellow.
24:24Poppy is right.
24:24Yeah, absolutely.
24:25The first letter of each of the colours spells poppy.
24:28Pink, orange.
24:29Pink, pink, yellow.
24:30Well done.
24:30A great riddle there.
24:32A great visual riddle.
24:33Right.
24:33OK, we've got one more in this round.
24:35So, let's keep going.
24:36Good luck.
24:38In 2024, Irish fast food chain Supermax won a legal case against which American franchise?
24:47Shivani and Lakesh.
24:48McDonald's.
24:48Yes.
24:50The mother of climate activist Greta Thunberg represented which country at Eurovision?
24:57Shivani and Lakesh.
24:58Sweden.
24:59Yes, Sweden it is.
25:01Compass, Lion's Mane and Mauve Stinger are all species of...
25:05Lily and Tori.
25:07Jellyfish.
25:08Correct.
25:08Of which sea creature jellyfish it is?
25:11Which pop singer has performed tours titled Confession?
25:18Shivani and Lakesh.
25:20Usher.
25:21Incorrect.
25:22Which pop singer has performed tours titled Confessions, Who's That Girl and Blonde Ambition?
25:28Lily and Tori.
25:29Madonna.
25:30Yes.
25:31It is Madonna.
25:32Right.
25:32Well, either one of you could now unlock the next and final visual riddle in this round.
25:39Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was an early character created by which animator?
25:44Lily and Tori.
25:45Walt Disney?
25:45Yes, correct.
25:46Right.
25:47Great.
25:47Was that a guess?
25:48I'd heard of it, but I thought, well, I best say it.
25:52You better say it.
25:53I tell you what, that is a good tactic in this game.
25:56If you've heard of it, say it.
25:56If you've heard of it, say it.
25:58Yeah, brilliant stuff.
25:59Right, Lily and Tori, here we are again.
26:01So, yeah, you've struggled with these visual ones.
26:05I got one right and you didn't get either right, so I might try this one.
26:09Shapes.
26:10Er, yes.
26:11Shapes, please.
26:12Okay, Lily.
26:13Same rules.
26:1460 seconds to give me a correct answer after I finish reading the riddle that goes with
26:17this.
26:18Yes.
26:18Which of these shapes is correct?
26:20Your time starts now.
26:30Er, well, it's going to be the things underneath.
26:33Oh, they're different colours.
26:33So, they're going to blue triangle, red diamond, no, green circle, red circle, blue triangle,
26:38green diamond, no, blue circle, red triangle, green, green square.
26:41There we go.
26:42Er, kind of third one in, third one down.
26:46It's, the text is blue, so it tricked me a little bit, but that is a green square.
26:53Lily, it's the right answer.
26:54Well done, green square.
26:56Yeah, of course, yeah.
26:57All the others are not describing the shape above, but green square is.
27:00Well done.
27:01Right, well, Lily, you did a great job there.
27:03That is £200 to Lily and Tori.
27:06So, we've ended that visual riddle round.
27:09It was enjoyable, wasn't it?
27:10Right, for me, it was delightful.
27:11For you, it was delightful.
27:12I was slightly annoyed that you got the last one, but other than that, it was great.
27:15Yeah, okay, so Lily and Tori have £1,200.
27:18Shivani and Lakesh, you have £375, but all of that can change in the next round.
27:24But I think we all need to have a little break.
27:27What have you got for us?
27:28Try and solve this one before we come back.
27:30I'll offer you seating or host a big meeting.
27:33What am I?
27:34I'll give you the answer after the break.
27:46Welcome back to Ridiculous, the ridiculously clever and brain-teasing show.
27:51Now, before the break, Henry, you've set us all a big test once again.
27:54I certainly did.
27:55I'll offer you seating or host a big meeting.
27:58What am I?
27:58That's the riddle.
27:59Who knows the answer?
28:01They're pretending that they're not working through the break.
28:03They cannot help themselves.
28:05Lily and Tori, I saw you nodding to each other during the break.
28:09Yeah, we think it's a chair.
28:11Chair, absolutely right, Tori.
28:12And why?
28:13That's your seating and the chairperson chairs the meeting.
28:17Absolutely right, yeah.
28:18Yes, very good.
28:19Right, here we are.
28:20Let's take a look at your prize pots.
28:21So, so far, you're on £375 and £1,200.
28:26Now, that obviously sounds like quite a big difference, but let me tell you that things
28:30can change because this is where the competition gets serious, as the team with the highest prize
28:35pot at the end of this round will be going through to the final to face Henry's riddle
28:40run.
28:41Now, this time, the questions from me are worth £100.
28:46How much are the riddles worth, Henry?
28:48In this deciding round, the riddles are the hardest you've faced yet, but every single
28:52one of them is worth £300.
28:55OK, good luck.
28:56Let's play.
29:00Noah, Zach, Marlon, Cain and Charity are members of which Emmerdale family?
29:06Lily and Tori.
29:07The Dingles.
29:08Yes, the famous Dingles.
29:11Wiener schnitzel is a traditional dish from which country?
29:14Shivani and Lakesh?
29:16Germany.
29:16Incorrect.
29:17Wiener schnitzel is a traditional dish from which country?
29:21Lily and Tori?
29:21Austria.
29:22It is.
29:23Wien is the Austrian name for Vienna, and someone from Vienna would be a Wiener.
29:29Which sport is the primary focus of the film Space Jam?
29:34Shivani and Lakesh?
29:35Basketball.
29:36Yes.
29:37In a poem by William Blake, what animal is described as burning bright in the forest of
29:44the night?
29:45Lily and Tori.
29:46Tiger.
29:47Yes, it is.
29:48Right.
29:48Okay, so Lily and Tori, you've now unlocked the first high-value riddle in this round.
29:55Okay, Henry, what have you got for them?
29:57I can be anything from A to G, but I'm never off the scale.
30:00I sound just like a brief record.
30:03What am I?
30:05I have a feeling this might be slightly up my alley, because A to G are the notes on
30:12the piano, and C to C is a, well, not really, that's an octave, but a scale, again, with
30:19like a piano.
30:20I sound just like a brief record.
30:23That's the bit I'm struggling with, because the rest of it is all very obviously notes.
30:27Yes, so I think, yeah, a brief record, you would make a note of something, and that's
30:33a small...
30:34A brief record.
30:35A brief record.
30:36Yeah, because A to G are notes, a note is never off the scale.
30:40Yeah.
30:41I sound just like I'm going to have to trust you on this one.
30:44I would say note, yeah.
30:46OK, we're going to go with note.
30:48Note.
30:51Quite a quick answer there.
30:56It's also the right answer.
30:58Oh!
30:58Yeah, notes.
31:00A to G, of course, notes on the piano, as you correctly say, never off the scale or within
31:03the scale, and as you correctly say, yeah, if you make a brief record of something, you
31:07note it down.
31:07Yeah, well done.
31:08Sort of perfect teamwork.
31:09You got the beginning bit, Tori came up and got the second bit, and there you are.
31:13Oh, you've now got another £300 in your prize part.
31:16Well done.
31:17Right, two more riddles to go in this deciding round.
31:19Good luck.
31:20Here we go.

32:13Lillian Tori.
32:14Hawaii.
32:15Yes.
32:16Fantastic.
32:16So, Lillian Tori, here we are once more.
32:20Good luck.
32:21I'm judged by some to be blind.
32:23Others say I'm poetic.
32:25But looking at me, you'd think I was nothing more than frozen water.
32:29What am I?
32:32Frozen water.
32:32Frozen water is ice, obviously.
32:34So, because when it said to be blind, I thought it was like love.
32:37Love is blind, yeah, and love can be poetic.
32:40But looking at me, you'd think I'm nothing more than frozen water.
32:44Ice?
32:46Love.
32:46Love.
32:47Frozen water.
32:47Can't be lice.
32:49That's not very poetic.
32:52Judged by some to be blind.
32:55I think it's something to do with love.
32:57I think you're right.
32:58But looking at me, you'd think I was nothing more than frozen water.
33:02Ice.
33:03Skating?
33:04Why is this one actually really difficult?
33:06I mean, we could use our clue.
33:08We still have it.
33:08Shall we go for the clue?
33:09Yeah, might as well.
33:10Can we have our clues, please?
33:11Of course you can.
33:12I'll be served by the final verdict.
33:15Justice.
33:17Just ice.
33:18Justice.
33:19Justice is blind.
33:20Others say I'm poetic.
33:22Poetic justice.
33:22But look at you.
33:23It's just ice.
33:24Ice.
33:25Very good.
33:26We're looking justice, please.
33:27I think the clue was quite helpful there, wasn't it?
33:29Yes.
33:30Justice is the right answer.
33:31Of course, justice is blind.
33:33Poetic justice.
33:34And, yeah, you were talking about frozen water.
33:36But you've got to use the whole clue there.
33:37Nothing more than frozen water is just ice.
33:41Yeah.
33:41Justice, well done.
33:42Right, well done.
33:43You've earned that £300 into your prize pot.
33:46Now, we have one more riddle left in this round.
33:49So, hands by the buzzers.
33:51Let's play.
33:52The name of which digital audio medium was created by combining an Apple portable music player with a shortened form
34:02of the word broadcast?
34:04Podcast.

34:30Lillian Torrey.

34:33Yes.
34:34It is.
34:36What unit of measurement is traditionally used to measure the height of a horse?
34:41Lillian Torrey.
34:42Hands.
34:42Correct.
34:45In 1992, Birdhouse Skateboards was founded by Per Wellinder and which American skateboarder?
34:55Lillian Torrey.
34:56Tony Hawk.
34:57Yeah, really good skateboarding knowledge.
34:59How did you know that?
35:00It's Bird.
35:02Isn't it Birdhouse?
35:03It's the only skateboarder, right?
35:04It's the only skateboarder you know.
35:06OK, right.
35:07Lillian Torrey, you could add £300 to your prize pot here.
35:12Riddle Master, what have you got for them this time?
35:14I've got to get one past you, so here we go.
35:16And no clue this time, of course.
35:18You've used your clue, so, you know, that's good for me.
35:22I have a long neck, round body, and feel rather plucky.
35:26I'm found amongst suburban jokers and popular with the old folk.
35:31What am I?
35:33A long neck and a round body.
35:37Rather plucky.
35:38So I'm imagining some kind of bird.
35:41Or am I just completely wrong?
35:42Oh, you look like you know what it is.
35:43I think I've got an idea, so...
35:46Go on, then.
35:47You're found amongst suburban jokers is where you're going to pick it up.
35:53And popular with the old folk.
35:55Or something that you pluck.
35:59Suburb...
36:00Banjo.
36:01Popular with the old folk.
36:03Popular with the old folk.
36:04I don't know.
36:04Do old people like banjos?
36:05Well, folk music is often played on a banjo.
36:09So it has a very long neck and you pluck it.
36:11And it has a round body.
36:13And it is in the middle, and it is amongst suburban jokers.
36:16So, yes, we'll say banjo.
36:19Banjo.
36:21Very well done.
36:22I'm very impressed.
36:23Banjo is the right answer.
36:24Of course, yeah, a banjo has a long neck and a round body.
36:27You pluck a banjo.
36:28But, yeah, the key clue there you got very quickly, Tori.
36:30Yeah, of course, amongst suburban jokers.
36:33Yeah, amongst tells you to literally look in the words suburban jokers
36:36where you will find the B-A-N of suburban and the J and the O from jokers
36:40giving you a banjo.
36:41And, of course, yeah, old folk music played on a banjo.
36:43Well done.
36:44You got it all.
36:45I loved that.
36:46And I also loved the fact that, Tori, you got it,
36:48but you were still testing Lily.
36:49Being a mum throughout.
36:50Come on, give it a go.
36:52You wouldn't give it to her.
36:53I thought, what is she doing?
36:55It's absolutely brilliant to see.
36:57Right.
36:58£300 to Lily and Tori.
37:00And that was the final riddle of this deciding round.
37:04So, of course, Lily and Tori, you are through to the final
37:07with a prize pot of £3,000.
37:11And Shivani and Lakesh, you had £675.
37:14It proved a little bit tricky against these two, didn't it, in the end?
37:17Yeah, they were really, really good, Diary.
37:19Right, well, super stuff.
37:21After the break, Lily and Tori will be facing Henry's riddle run
37:24and we'll see how they'll cope under pressure
37:26with all that cash that they've accumulated up for grabs.
37:29But first, Henry, have you got something else
37:31for us to think about over the break?
37:33I certainly do.
37:34See if you can figure this one out.
37:35I could be a cowardly fruit and I'm usually sour to boot.
37:38Just as well I have a thick skin for adding to your drink's rim.
37:43What am I?
37:44I'll give you the answer when we come back.
37:57Welcome back.
37:58This is ridiculous.
37:59Now, Henry, what was that challenge you set us before the break?
38:02I asked,
38:03I could be a cowardly fruit and I'm usually sour to boot.
38:06Just as well I have a thick skin for adding to your drink's rim.
38:10What am I?
38:11Lily and Tori, our champion riddle solvers.
38:13Any ideas on this one?
38:15We thought it could be a lemon,
38:17just because if you're cowardly,
38:19people will say that you're yellow, obviously.
38:21A lemon is yellow and sour
38:23and you use the skin round the rim of a drink to...
38:27Garnish.
38:28Yeah, it's like a garnish there.
38:29Yeah, pretty forensically done.
38:31Well done, well done.
38:31Lemon is the right answer, yeah.
38:33Absolutely, yeah, yeah.
38:34Lemon.
38:34Very good.
38:35Now, Lily and Tori, congratulations.
38:38You've had a spectacular game.
38:41That final round,
38:42the hardest riddles, riddle master.
38:45Incredible.
38:45I thought it was very, very, very impressive.
38:47I mean, the hat trick there,
38:48you unlocked all three,
38:49got them all right, well done.
38:51And Lily, are you a student still?
38:53Er, just finished a couple of months ago,
38:55outside of the summer.
38:56What are you going to do?
38:57I could be a riddle master.
38:59Oh, hello.
39:00Oh, I see.
39:01I could take your job for a series four.
39:04Oh, wow.
39:05My goodness.
39:05Right, I've got to defeat you now in the riddle round.
39:08Hang on a minute, yes.
39:10Tell you what, you're not lacking in confidence.
39:11Well done, Tori.
39:13Right, listen, this is fantastic news.
39:15You have managed to accrue an impressive £3,000 today.
39:20Right, what will that money go towards Mum?
39:23Oh, I think we're going to go for steak and cocktails after the show.
39:27How many?
39:28Blimey.
39:29£300 worth.
39:30£3,000.
39:31Of course.
39:32We split the money.
39:33I think my half, there are lots of evenings out,
39:35lots of theatre shows and stuff.
39:37Oh, lovely.
39:37That I'd like to go and see, so I will be ticking a lot off my list.
39:41Oh, that's lovely.
39:41And what about you, Lily?
39:42What would you do with your half?
39:43Kind of saving up for, like, driving lessons, a car, insurance,
39:47all things like that.
39:49And that will probably just all go towards that.
39:51I love that.
39:52Mum's going, I'll buy some cocktails.
39:53She's going, no, I'm going to be very sensible and buy driving lessons.
39:56Very good.
39:56She might need cocktails with half.
39:58Absolutely.
39:59Well, listen, it's there, isn't it,
40:01potentially, for you to take home and do with what you want.
40:04But in order to take it home, you have to face Henry's riddle run.
40:08Henry, what exactly is your riddle run?
40:11So, in the riddle run, you're going to be facing puzzles
40:13in which words are represented by combinations of pictures and letters.
40:16They're often known as rebus riddles,
40:18and the answers are phrases, sayings,
40:20or a combination of words that are familiar to all.
40:23Yes, well, the rules, Lily and Tori, are simple.
40:26There are ten riddles in all,
40:28and you need six correct in 60 seconds
40:32to take home that money that you have built up so far.
40:35If you're not sure about a particular riddle,
40:38say pass and then come back to it.
40:40And that's not all.
40:42If you do answer six correctly,
40:44you'll then have the chance to double your winnings
40:47and take home £6,000.
40:49But don't worry.
40:50If it did all go wrong,
40:52you'd still go home with our collectible teacup and saucer.
40:57First, though, you've got to face Henry's riddle run.
40:59Are you ready?
41:00Yes.
41:02They're formidable champions so far.
41:04Let's see if they can take it home.
41:06I know, absolutely.
41:06After my job, this is outrageous.
41:08I'm terrified.
41:09Right, OK, good.
41:09You've got 60 seconds,
41:10and the time's going to begin
41:11as soon as your first riddle is revealed.
41:13Ready?
41:14Let's go.
41:15Let's play.
41:16Capital City?
41:17Correct.
41:19Flash in a pan?
41:20Correct.
41:21Red arrows?
41:22Correct.
41:24Poetry motion?
41:25Correct.
41:28Pass.
41:29Yeah, pass.
41:31Many hands make light work?
41:32Correct.
41:34West End?
41:35Correct.
41:38Well, you barely broke into a sweat.
41:41And West End, what a perfect one,
41:43just by coincidence,
41:44for the musical theatre buffs.
41:46Henry,
41:47now, you'd better get your CV ready.
41:49No, I will, yeah.
41:50It's outrageous.
41:51Yes.
41:51That was very impressive.
41:53Let's go through.
41:54Let's have a look back at them now.
41:56So, yeah, Capital City, of course.
41:57Flash in a pan.
41:58The word flash in a pan.
41:59Well done, yeah.
42:00Got this one.
42:01Red arrows, of course.
42:02Yeah, all red arrows.
42:03This one, I mean,
42:03you got that one very quickly.
42:05It's a bit of a tricky one,
42:06that one.
42:06But, yeah, poetry in motion.
42:08This one, you did get a little bit stuck on,
42:10but you passed it quite quickly.
42:11Any ideas now what it might be?
42:12Cheese, drink, cheese.
42:14It's not cheese, drink.
42:15Yeah.
42:17It is to do with cheese, though.
42:19What's happening with those glasses?
42:20Cheers, yeah.
42:21And if you're cheersing something,
42:22you might, what might you say?
42:23Cheese on toast.
42:24Cheese on toast, yes.
42:26Yeah, of course, yeah,
42:27the glasses are toasting something,
42:28so it's cheese on toast.
42:29That was the only one you struggled with, though.
42:31You then got the final two, right?
42:32Many hands, of course,
42:33making up the words light work.
42:35That's many hands make light work.
42:36And finally, of course,
42:38West End.
42:40West on the compass missing,
42:41replaced with end.
42:42Well done.
42:43That was cheese on toast, honestly.
42:45It's so good.
42:46It's a good one.
42:47I mean, it's so good, isn't it?
42:48But, listen, it didn't matter
42:49that you didn't get your cheese on toast.
42:50You've actually managed to win £3,000.
42:53Yes.
42:54Yes, you can actually celebrate right now.
42:56You can relax.
42:57You can relax.
42:58Or can you?
42:59If that's enough for you,
43:01we're delighted.
43:01And you can go home,
43:03enjoy it,
43:04and just relax.
43:05Or you could choose to face one last riddle.
43:07This time,
43:08you'll have just 20 seconds to give an answer.
43:10If you get it right,
43:12you will double your winnings
43:13and take away £6,000.
43:15But,
43:16if you can't find the right answer
43:19in that time,
43:20you will lose everything,
43:21and then you'll leave with nothing
43:23apart from our teacup and saucer.
43:27Thoughts?
43:28Well,
43:29we didn't get cheese on toast.
43:30No.
43:31No, no.
43:32We've done well,
43:33but there can always be one
43:34that can fox us.
43:37Yeah, I think...
43:38As much as I would love
43:39that cup and saucer,
43:41I think...
43:42I think £3,000
43:43is a bit more of an impressive price.
43:44Yeah.
43:45I think we're going to take the money
43:46and run.
43:47Yeah.
43:47I mean,
43:48we love our cup and saucer,
43:49to be fair.
43:50But you're right,
43:51£3,000 probably feels a bit nicer.
43:53Yeah.
43:53All right.
43:54If you're absolutely sure...
43:55Yes.
43:56Congratulations.
43:57Lily and Tori,
43:58you're walking away
43:58with £3,000.
44:01That does sound nice.
44:02Henry,
44:03have you got anything else for them
44:04before they go?
44:05Absolutely.
44:06Before you go,
44:07we are going to show you
44:08what the riddle would have been
44:09and we're going to see
44:10if you would have got it.
44:10So you would have had 20 seconds
44:11had you chosen to play
44:12to answer this.
44:16I, C...
44:17I, E, C, except...
44:19I, after E, except after C.
44:21That is...
44:22Sorry, I before E, except after C.
44:25That's the correct phrase.
44:26Yeah, yeah, yeah.
44:26I before E, except after C
44:28is the right answer
44:29because you've got the word I before E
44:31and except after the word C.
44:34So written in a slightly cryptic way,
44:37but, yeah, the phrase is
44:37I before E,
44:38except after C,
44:40the saying, of course,
44:41to help you remember
44:41how to spell words.
44:42Yeah, well, you would have got it,
44:43but, of course,
44:44it could have been one
44:45that you wouldn't have got.
44:46So, yeah.
44:46And I wonder whether
44:47under the time pressure,
44:49you know,
44:49that might have changed
44:50with so much at stake.
44:51But I've never thought I'd say
44:53that cheese on toast
44:53has saved your job,
44:54but I think it might have done.
44:56You're safe for now.
44:59Good.
44:59Lily and Tori,
45:00you've been absolutely wonderful to watch.
45:02Just the teamwork.
45:04Congratulations.
45:04Enjoy your money.
45:05You've earned it.
45:06What a great show.
45:08Amazing.
45:08You guys were fantastic.
45:09Really, really good riddle solving.
45:10Well done.
45:11And thank you so much
45:12for watching at home.
45:13We'll see you next time
45:14for more Ridiculous Riddles.
45:45We'll see you next time.
45:46Amen.
45:47I'll see you next time.
