00:00Welcome to the Bridge of Lies, where winning is simple.
00:05Just step on the truths.
00:07It is a truth!
00:09Oh, that is a truth!
00:11Yay!
00:12And avoid the lies.
00:15Oh!
00:16Oh!
00:18It's a lie.
00:18Ow!
00:19Let's meet the team.
00:23I'm Con.
00:24I'm Paula.
00:25I'm Brian.
00:26And I'm Sophia.
00:27Welcome, team.
00:28So, Con, how do you know each other?
00:30Good question, Ross.
00:31This is my wife, my son and I, Brian, and my daughter.
00:36Who put the team together?
00:37Oh, that was kind of our fault.
00:40We watch the Bridge of Lies every day, and we thought this might be a good idea.
00:44Do you still think it's a good idea?
00:46Ask us in an hour or two.
00:48Anything you'd like to see on the bridge?
00:51Yeah, I think Prog Rock from 1967 to 1976.
00:55Very, very niche, I have to say, Con.
00:57Anything else?
00:58Music, more general music, maybe food and drink, languages, maybe.
01:03We both kind of like science and I like geography as well, maybe it would be nice to see.
01:06Anything you wouldn't like to see on the bridge?
01:09I think it would be sport, to be honest.
01:11Sport, yeah.
01:11Yeah.
01:12Everything except tennis, I know a tiny bit about, maybe.
01:16Right, let's get on with the game.
01:17All that stands between you and a cash prize are five crossings.
01:22You'll each have to take on the bridge, banking as much money as you possibly can.
01:26Beat the bridge and you'll earn a place in our vault, and anyone in there at the end will
01:32get to join forces to take on the final crossing.
01:36Are you ready?
01:39All right, let's do this.
01:42Bridge, can you please reveal the opening category?
01:46The first category is words.
01:49Words.
01:50Which one of you is the wordsmith?
01:52Brian, what do you think?
01:53Well, Paula was talking about languages, of course, and that fits in with that.
01:57Yeah.
01:57Okay.
01:58I'm happy to do it as well.
02:00I don't mind, yeah.
02:00I could do that.
02:01Any preference?
02:01Yeah.
02:01Paula, I'm going to give it a go.
02:03You're going to take it, Paula?
02:03Yeah, I'll give it a go.
02:05Paula, come and join me on the bridge.
02:07Okay.
02:07Good luck, Paula.
02:11Paula.
02:19Hello.
02:20Hello.
02:21Welcome to the Bridge of Lies.
02:22Nice to meet you.
02:23Nice to meet you too.
02:24How are you feeling?
02:25Oh, I'll be better when I'm done, I think.
02:28What do you do for a living?
02:29Well, I'm retired now, but I was a teacher for nearly 30 years.
02:32Brilliant.
02:32You must have a bit of free time now.
02:34What do you get up to?
02:35Well, we've got lots of free time, so we go out walking, learning new things like crafts,
02:41and I make cards and enjoy baking and cooking for the family and have the time to do that now.
02:46Seems like you've got all the bases covered.
02:48Yes.
02:49Right.
02:50You've got five minutes on the clock.
02:52Every correct step is worth £100, but step on a lie and your money is halved.
02:58Hit three lies and your crossing is over.
03:00There are ten lies on the bridge, but remember, there is always a path to safety.
03:06There are two safety zones where you can stop the clock and reveal a lie.
03:12And in the waiting room, there's the panic button.
03:15If your teammates press it, they'll send you to the vault with any money that you've banked up to that
03:22point.
03:22But it can only be used once.
03:26Now, the category is words.
03:29Bridge, what are we looking for?
03:34We are looking for things which are four-letter words.
03:39Lies are names of things that are not four-letter words.
03:45Paula, are you ready?
03:46I'm ready, yeah.
03:48Your five minutes starts now.
03:53Capital city of Italy, mammal with beluga and humpback species.
04:00OK, so capital city is Rome.
04:04Beluga, I think it's this one here.
04:06Truth or lie.
04:07It is Rome.
04:09That opens up.
04:10Surname of British boxers Tyson and Tommy.
04:14Collective term for a group of wolves.
04:17I think these are both right.
04:18I think that's Fury and I think that's Pax.
04:20I'm going to go here.
04:20Truth or lie.
04:22It is Fury.
04:24It opens up.
04:25Fourth planet from the sun.
04:28First name of Basil Fawlty's wife.
04:31Oh.
04:33Sybil.

04:34This one's right, so I might go this way to wolves.
04:36Truth or lie.
04:38That is the truth.
04:40It is pack.
04:41OK.
04:42Culinary term for deer meat.

04:49Peter Pan.
04:50Is that hook?
04:50I love that thing.
04:51Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:52It's hook.
04:52So I think that's venison.
04:54That's still wrong.
04:55So I'm going to go over here, I think.
04:56Truth or lie.
04:59It is hook.
05:00That opens up vegetable symbol of Wales.
05:04You've got to get that, hasn't she?
05:06She's Welsh.
05:06Yeah.
05:07Welsh heritage, so I know that that's a leak.
05:09So I'm going to go here.
05:10Truth or lie.
05:12It is a leak.
05:13That opens up common name for the largest joint in the body.
05:18Mel B's Spice Girl nickname.
05:22Oh, gosh.
05:24Largest joint in the body.
05:26I think that might be the hip.
05:28Mel B.
05:29There's Sporty.
05:30There's Ginger.
05:31Mel B is scary.
05:32Scary.
05:33Yeah.
05:34Oh, dear.
05:34I'm not sure about that one.
05:36Remember, we're looking for four-letter words.
05:38I think I might have to go over here for the...
05:40Come over here, then, if you feel like you need to.
05:42...planets in the sun.
05:45I think I might go here.
05:46OK.
05:46Truth or lie.
05:48That is the truth.
05:49That's Mars.
05:50That opens up police show starring Brenda Blethen.
05:55Common name for Chinese gooseberry fruit.
06:00So I think this is Vera, so I'm going to go here.
06:02Truth or lie.
06:04It is Vera.
06:06Stop the clock.
06:07That opens up the safety zone.
06:10And Japanese delicacy made from puffer fish.
06:14Yeah, I'm a bit stuck now, I think.
06:16Bridge, please reveal a lie.
06:21Yeah, I knew that one.
06:23You're right, you knew that.
06:23Venison.
06:24Yeah.
06:25Paula, your time starts now.
06:28OK.
06:30Um, I think I'm going to go for this one here, the Japanese delicacy.
06:35Truth or lie.
06:37Yes.
06:39That's fugu.
06:40That opens up.
06:41Jane Austen novel set in Highbury Village.
06:44Shark film starring Rainn Wilson.
06:47Parent company of Facebook.
06:51Remember, we're looking for four-letter words.
06:54I think that's meta.
06:55I'm not sure about these two.
06:56I'm going to go here for meta.
06:57Truth or lie.
06:59It is meta that opens up.
07:01First Swedish group to win Eurovision.
07:04The number three in Italian rock band with 1983 hit,
07:11is Rosanna.
07:13OK, so I think this is ABBA.
07:15I think I know this one.
07:16Truth or lie.
07:19It is ABBA.
07:20That opens up.
07:21Chemical element with symbol PB, capital city of Armenia,
07:28car manufacturer with Cougar and Puma models.
07:33So I think this is, these are my initials,
07:37so I think this is lead.
07:38Oh, she knows this because she knows this is her initials.
07:41Oh, yeah, PB.
07:43She definitely knows this.
07:44So I'm going to go here.
07:46Truth or lie.
07:48It is lead that opens up first of the New Testament gospels,
07:54South American country that owns the Galapagos,
07:57animal known as ursus in Latin.
08:02I think that could be Peru maybe,
08:04but I think I'm going to go for this one, which is bear, I think.
08:07Truth or lie.
08:09It is bear that opens up.
08:12Common name of Herb, Salvia Aficionale,
08:16first name of Take That's oldest band member.
08:20One minute's remaining.
08:21Country with capital city, Vientiane.
08:28You got a 50-50 there.
08:32Herb Salvia Aficionale, Take That's oldest band member.
08:37Gary, Barlow, Salvia.
08:41You've got some time.
08:43Yeah.
08:44You don't really want a half your money, do you, Paula?
08:47No, I really don't.
08:49Is anything talking to you?
08:51I'm thinking Herb, Salvia, Take That.
08:59No, Robbie, no.
09:01I think I'm going to go here, the Herbs, yeah.
09:04Truth or lie.
09:06It is a truth.
09:07It's sage.
09:09Brilliant.
09:11Well played.
09:121,300 pounds.
09:15Great.
09:16Let's take a look at your crossing.
09:18Here are the truths that you miss.
09:21The common name for the Chinese gooseberry, kiwi.
09:25Oh, yes.
09:26Toto had a hit with Rosanna.
09:28The largest joint is the knee joint.
09:31Ah, okay, yep.
09:33The Jane Austen novel was Emma.
09:36The car manufacturer was Ford.
09:39The country with the capital city, Vientiane, is Laos.
09:44Oh, okay.
09:45Now, Paula, you have made it across with 1,300 pounds, unless your family pressed that panic
09:55button.
09:55I hope not.
09:57Con, Brian, Sophia.
09:59Oh, hi.
10:00That was pretty good.
10:02It was amazing.
10:03She did so well.
10:04She did really well.
10:05And cool as a cucumber.
10:07So, the question has to be, did you press the panic button?
10:10We had full faith.
10:12We did not press it.
10:13Well played.
10:14Looked.
10:15They didn't press the panic button.
10:18So, Paula, with 1,300 pounds, please make your way to the vault.
10:32Con, Brian, Sophia.
10:34Not a bad start.
10:36Not too shoddy.
10:37She was fantastic.
10:37She was fantastic.
10:38Great to watch.
10:39Let's see if we can get somebody else across that bridge.
10:43Let's do it.
10:45Bridge, please reveal the second category.
10:47The second category is theatre.
10:52Theatre.
10:52Theatre.
10:53Ooh.
10:55I wouldn't say it's anyone's strong point, particularly, would you?
10:58No.
10:58I know a little bit, but I'm not by any means an expert.
11:01We'd be ready to help you as well, if you want.
11:02Yeah, you could save me.
11:03You fancy it?
11:04I think you could be a good choice.
11:05I think you could be a good choice.
11:06Is it you, Sophia?
11:08I think so.
11:08I think maybe.
11:09None of us like it particularly, but...
11:10Okay.
11:11Sophia, come and join me on the bridge.
11:14Come on, Sophia.
11:15Come on, Carol.
11:15Let's go.
11:24Sophia, welcome.
11:26Thank you very much.
11:27Sophia, what do you do for work?
11:29I'm a scientist.
11:30In any particular field?
11:32I sort of work in clinical research.
11:34Right.
11:34Okay.
11:35And are you a big quizzer?
11:36I dabble.
11:37I dabble.
11:38I do dabble.
11:38Yeah.
11:39You dabble.
11:40Well, you're about to have a big old dabble.
11:42Do you go to the theatre?
11:44We actually do quite often go to our local theatre in Belfast, but they tend to be a little
11:50bit lesser known, so I'm not sure whether that'll help or not, but fingers crossed.
11:53The category is theatre.
11:55Bridge, what are we looking for?
11:59Doomed Shakespeare characters.
12:01We are looking for characters that do not survive to the end of the play they are paired with.
12:08Lies survive until the end of that play.
12:13And how is your Shakespeare?
12:14Not great, to be honest, but I'll give it a go.
12:17Your five minutes starts now.
12:21Romeo, Romeo and Juliet.
12:25Juliet, Romeo and Juliet.
12:27Juliet.
12:27You know that, yeah.
12:30We're all good here.
12:32I thought that they both ended up dying at the end of this, so this is a little bit
12:39of a curveball for the first question.
12:42They could both be true, though, couldn't they?
12:46I suppose.
12:48Yeah, come on, come on, move forward.
12:50Leave my faith here.
12:51I guess I'll go for...
12:54She doesn't want to use too much time on this first one, come on.
12:57Juliet.
12:59Truth or life?
13:01That is a truth.
13:03That opens up Macbeth, Macbeth, Ophelia, Hamlet.
13:08Again, they both die, they both die.
13:10Yeah.
13:10Yeah.
13:11Gosh, I'm really not sure again.
13:15These are all big Shakespeare plays, so I guess this should be easier.
13:19Four minutes remaining.
13:22I think I will go for Ophelia.
13:29Truth or lie?
13:31That is a truth.
13:33It opens up Bottom, A Midsummer Night's Dream.
13:36King Lear, King Lear.
13:40I've actually read and seen A Midsummer Night's Dream, so I'm really hoping I remember this
13:44correctly, and I think Bottom is correct.
13:48Truth or lie?
13:50Oh no, no way.
13:52It survives to the end.
13:53Oh dear.
13:54Nothing else is going to open up.
13:58Um...
14:00Okay, I'm going to go for Macbeth.
14:03Truth or lie?
14:05That is a truth.
14:06That opens up.
14:07The Three Witches in Macbeth, and Richard III, Richard III.
14:14Um...
14:15I've seen Richard III, I can't remember.
14:17I think he died.
14:18He's the king that dies, isn't he, in real life.
14:20Three minutes from the end.
14:21He dies in real life, but does he die in the play?
14:22I think so.
14:23I think Richard III is correct.
14:24Truth or lie?
14:26That is the truth.
14:28It opens up Hamlet in Hamlet.
14:31Mercutio, Romeo and Juliet.
14:34Caliban, The Tempest.
14:36She'll know Hamlet.
14:37She'll know Hamlet.
14:38I think Hamlet...
14:39Remember, we're looking for Shakespeare characters that don't make it to the end of their plays.
14:45I think Hamlet does die, so I'll go for that.
14:49Truth or lie?
14:51That is the truth.
14:52That opens up Valentine, Two Gentlemen of Verona.
14:58I think I will go for this, but I'm really not sure.
15:01I'm going to go for Valentine.
15:02Truth or lie?
15:05Lie, I'm afraid.
15:06Nothing else is going to open up.
15:08Yeah.
15:09Guys, definitely press the panic button.
15:12I'm really not sure.
15:14I'm going to have to just guess Caliban, The Tempest.
15:16Truth or lie?
15:19Oh, no.
15:21It's a monster.
15:22It doesn't die.
15:24Not great.
15:25That was a tough, tough bridge.
15:28If you don't know your Shakespeare.
15:30And I definitely didn't, clearly.
15:31If it had been science, it would have been a very different bridge for you, yeah?
15:34Let's take a look at your crossing.
15:38The truths that you missed.
15:40Romeo and Juliet both die.
15:43Sadly.
15:44King Lear dies from heartbreak.
15:47And Mercutio is killed in a sword fight by Tybalt.
15:51So, at the moment, with three lies, it means you are out of the game unless your family hit that
16:01panic button.
16:01Shall we find out?
16:02Fingers crossed.
16:04Con, Brian.
16:06That was a tough bridge.
16:08Yeah, I'm sorry.
16:10I know we kind of pushed you into it, Soph.
16:11It was a tough one.
16:12So, the question has to be, did you or did you not press that panic button?
16:19I think we both agree that we can't afford to lose, Soph, so we did press the button.
16:23Right.
16:23Well played.
16:24They did press the panic button.
16:27Let's see where you were when they pressed it.
16:30And I'm really not sure.
16:32I'm going to have to just guess Caliban the Tempest.
16:34Oh, I don't know.
16:34Okay.
16:35Save her.
16:35I don't know.
16:36I don't know.
16:39They pressed it just after your second lie when you had £200.
16:44So, please make your way to the vault.
16:54Let's go to the vault and give Paula the news.
16:58Paula.
17:00Sophia hit three lives, but thanks to the panic button, she's joining you with £200.
17:07Oh, well done, Sophie.
17:08So well.
17:11Con, Brian.
17:13Yes, hello.
17:14How are you feeling?
17:15Oh, well, yeah.
17:17Ideally, we still wanted to have the panic button by now, but, you know, we couldn't lose, Sophia, so.
17:21Is it going to plan or not going to plan?
17:24Overall, probably not.
17:25But, hey, we have two people in the final, so.
17:27You've got £1,500 in the vault and two people across.
17:30Let's see if we can get somebody else across the bridge.
17:34Yep.
17:34Bridge, please reveal the third category.
17:38The third category is festivals.
17:43Festivals.
17:44It could be geography as well.
17:46Yeah, I think...
17:47It could be one of yours.
17:47I kind of like the sound of it.
17:49Yeah, it could go the wrong way, but I kind of like the sound of it.
17:51I think it's got your name.
17:52Brian, has this got your name on it?
17:55Yeah, it's probably not perfect, but let's give it a go.
17:58Let's give it a go.
17:58Brian, come and join me on the bridge.
18:10Brian, welcome to the bridge.
18:12Hello, Ross.
18:14Great to have you here.
18:15And, Brian, what do you do for a living?
18:17I'm a field service engineer in the pharmaceutical industry, so my company makes scientific instruments,
18:23which I install and fix and deal with customers shouting at me because they don't work.
18:27Fighting fires all the time, basically.
18:29And what do you get up to in your spare time?
18:31I like a quiz.
18:32We have a weekly pub quiz, of course, and I do a little bit online as well.
18:36Sophia and I met at a quiz as well.
18:37Oh, did you?
18:38We did, yeah.
18:39I studied in Edinburgh.
18:40We organised a quiz event, kind of shot out emails to every university quiz group I could
18:45find to try and desperately get people to come.
18:48And fate, ally and Sophia came with the Belfast team and here we are now, married.
18:53The rest is history.
18:54The rest is history, indeed.
18:55Are you a big festival goer?
18:57I don't know if I'd say that, to be honest.
19:00I'm just thinking it's kind of, hopefully, kind of a broad category and I might be able to
19:04fumble my way through.
19:06Let's see, Brian.
19:07The category is festivals.
19:10Bridge, what are we looking for?
19:14Glastonbury Headliners.
19:15We are looking for any act that has headlined the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury.
19:22Lies are acts that have never headlined Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage.
19:28Have you ever been to Glastonbury?
19:30No, no.
19:30We try and watch it on BBC, on iPlayer, but never made it yet.
19:35Are you ready?
19:36Stormzy.
19:36Yeah, let's go.
19:37Your five minutes start now.
19:42Coldplay Stormzy.
19:45Okay.
19:47I could imagine both of these doing it.
19:50Yeah, come on, Brian.
19:51I think I recall Stormzy doing it.
19:53Could be a bad start, but let's give it a go.
19:55I'll try Stormzy.
19:56Truth or lie?
19:59In 2019, that opens up Girls Aloud, Bruce Springsteen.
20:05As much as I like some of Girls Aloud's tunes, I'm not sure they're a Glastonbury headliner.
20:11Apologies if I'm wrong about that. I'm probably getting attacked online now.
20:15I think Bruce is very much a headliner. We'll go for the boss.
20:17Truth or lie?
20:20In 2009, that opens up Elton John and Daft Punk.
20:25Yeah, Elton definitely did it.
20:27I really don't know on Daft Punk. It would certainly be a good vibe there for sure.
20:31But similar to Bruce, I think if Elton John hasn't done it, I'd be surprised.
20:36I'm going to go Elton John.
20:36Truth or lie?
20:39In 2023, that opens up Dua Lipa, Lady Gaga, Mumford and Sons.
20:48Since Sophia's already in the vault, she can't hear me here, but I've got a very soft spot for Dua,
20:52and I watched her performance. She's fantastic. I'm going to go Dua.
20:56Truth or lie?
20:58In 2024, that opens up The Rolling Stones, Rihanna and Arctic Monkeys.
21:04Yes.
21:06OK.
21:07I think The Rolling Stones.
21:09Getting more uncertain now. I'd like to get to a safety zone if possible.
21:13Again, The Rolling Stones, massive British institution.
21:17They seem perfect for a headliner. I don't know if it's right, but I'm going to give it a go.
21:21Truth or lie?
21:23In 2013, that opens up Adele, Oasis and Dolly Parton.
21:30Oasis, definitely, and Dolly Parton.
21:32Almost anyone on this board could have done it right.
21:40Adele is really massive. She's really popular, obviously, in the UK, sold lots of albums.
21:47She's not a festival headliner, I don't think.
21:50I'm going to try to get to the safety zone, and hopefully Adele is the answer. I'm going to try
21:53Adele.
21:53Truth or lie?
21:55It is a truth. Adele opens up The Safety Zone.
21:57She performed there in 2016.
22:00All right, we'll stop the clock.
22:03You are on £600.
22:07No lies.
22:09OK.
22:09Bridge, please reveal a lie.
22:14OK.
22:15Dolly Parton.
22:16I would have considered that answer, so...
22:17I would have.
22:18She's played the legend slot, but she didn't headline.
22:21OK.
22:23Brian, your time starts now.
22:26OK.
22:28Let's go another legendary British band. Let's go Oasis.
22:32Truth or lie?
22:34They've headlined twice. That opens up.
22:37Maroon 5, David Bowie.
22:41Hmm.
22:43It's making me rethink everything now that Dolly was the legend stage.
22:46I could see David being the same as that, but I could also see him being a headliner.
22:51Come on, David Bowie.
22:52I'm not tempted by anything too much back there.
22:57Got to go for it.
23:00It really does get tougher.
23:03Let's try David Bowie.
23:04Truth or lie?
23:07He headlined in 2000, then it opens up.
23:10Stereophonics, Elvis Costello and Nirvana.
23:14Remember, we're looking for Glastonbury headliners.
23:19Yeah. OK.
23:22Oh, God.
23:25Could be any of the answers here.
23:29Let's...
23:29I'll try the Stereophonics.
23:31Truth or lie?
23:34Yes, 2002.
23:35That opens up.
23:37The White Stripes.
23:40They've definitely played it, but...
23:43Did they headline?
23:44Not my kind of music, really.
23:46I'm not...
23:47Time's ticking.
23:51I'm going to, for now, try Nirvana.
23:56Truth or lie?
23:58It's a lie, I'm afraid.
23:59Nothing else is going to open up, right?
24:01Yep, yep.
24:02You've halved your money, you're down to 450.
24:06Time's ticking.
24:07Yep.
24:08Oh, God.
24:08One minute.
24:08Not sure where to go here.
24:11Elvis Costello.
24:12How long has Glastonbury been going for?
24:13I'll try...
24:14I'll try the White Stripes.
24:15Truth or lie?
24:17That is the truth.
24:18They headlined in 2005.
24:21It opens up.
24:22Kate Bush and Iron Maiden.
24:26Kate Bush?
24:29I'm going to...
24:31Kate Bush.
24:32Would she do that?
24:34OK.
24:35I'll try Iron Maiden.
24:36Let's see.
24:37Truth or lie?
24:3820 cents.
24:39They've never headlined.
24:41OK.
24:44I think I've got no choice here.
24:46I'll have to go all out, I think.
24:48Please let it be Kate Bush.
24:50Truth or lie?
24:52Oh, three lies, Brian.
24:55Uh, yeah.
24:58Brian, you did so well, right up to the end.
25:02Yeah, fell apart a bit there, Russ.
25:04Let's take a look at the bridge.
25:07Here are the truths that you missed.
25:11Coldplay have headlined five times.
25:14Arctic Monkeys have headlined three times.
25:17Mumford & Sons 2013.
25:20Elvis Costello, multiple years.
25:23Brian, with three lies, I'm afraid you have been beaten by the bridge.
25:28And for now, your game is over.
25:38Con.
25:38Hi, Ross.
25:39How are you feeling?
25:41Well, I'm so gutted for Brian.
25:43Yeah.
25:43That said, I don't think I would have done any better myself.
25:46The legends like Dolly Parton, I would have got that wrong.
25:47I would have stepped on her, so I don't think I would have got across.
25:51Not many people say they'd like to have stepped on Dolly Parton.
25:56Should we get on with it?
25:57Yes, please.
25:58All right, bridge, please reveal the final category.
26:02The fourth category is science.
26:06Science.
26:07Oh, okay.
26:08This was Brian's gig.
26:10Never mind.
26:10I mean, that's the way the cookie crumbles.
26:12Yeah, indeed.
26:13Okay.
26:14The two scientists have already gone onto the bridge.
26:17Con, you are the last person.
26:19So, the bridge is going to double your money.
26:24So, each step is now worth £200.
26:28Okay.
26:29Con, come and join me on the bridge.
26:32Okay.
26:33Yep.
26:44Hi, Ross.
26:45Hello, Con.
26:46So, do you think the right people will have taken the right bridges today?
26:49No.
26:50Definitely not.
26:51And you said you like prog rock.
26:53Yeah, massive fan of prog rock, got into a group in 1978 called Rush.
27:02I'm sure nobody's heard of them.
27:03I remember them.
27:04You remember Rush?
27:05Of course I do.
27:05Wow.
27:06Yeah, yeah.
27:06I'm impressed.
27:07I'm impressed.
27:07Did Rush ever headline Glastonbury?
27:10No.
27:10No chance.
27:11Part too obscure.
27:13Part too obscure.
27:14Right.
27:14The category is science.
27:17Bridge.
27:17What are we looking for?
27:20Heavier than water.
27:22Okay.
27:23We are looking for common materials, substances, or objects that are more dense than room temperature
27:31water.
27:32Okay.
27:33Lies are lighter than water.
27:36Are you ready?
27:37I am.
27:38Your five minutes starts now.
27:42Marble or glass?
27:44I would say both, but I'll start with marble.
27:47Truth or lie?
27:49That is a truth.
27:51That opens up sandstone and balsa wood.
27:54Yeah, balsa wood's quite light.
27:57I think I'm going to try a glass, actually.
28:00Truth or lie?
28:02That is a truth.
28:03That opens up zinc.
28:05Yeah, that's pretty heavy, I think, from, I mean, I'm not a chemist, but, yeah, something's
28:09telling me zinc.
28:10Truth or lie?
28:12That is a truth.
28:14That is a truth.
28:14That opens up maple syrup and mercury.
28:17Yeah, I did O-level chemistry.
28:19I think mercury was pretty heavy.
28:22Didn't do very well, I've got to see.
28:23But, anyway, I'm going to go mercury.
28:26Oh, you did better than me.
28:27Truth or lie?
28:29That is a truth.
28:30That opens up Cointreau and diesel fuel.
28:34Goodness me.
28:37I'm going to go diesel fuel.
28:38I don't know.
28:40Four minutes remaining.
28:42Yeah, I'm going to risk it.
28:44Truth or lie?
28:46This is a lie, I'm afraid.
28:48Nothing else is going to open.
28:50OK.
28:51Let's go back here.
28:54I think sandstone.
28:56OK.
28:57Truth or lie?
28:59That is a truth.
29:00That opens up natural bamboo and basalt rock.
29:05I think basalt rock.
29:07Sounds like a pretty, yeah.
29:10Truth or lie?
29:12That is a truth.
29:13If that opens up, balsamic vinegar of Moderna, compacted snow.
29:18Remember, we're looking for things heavier than water.
29:22Yeah, I mean, obviously, in its frozen state, water is heavier than liquid water at room temperature.
29:29So, I'm going to go compacted snow.
29:32Truth or lie?
29:33Oh, lie.
29:35Wow.
29:37Icebergs.
29:38Oh, yeah.
29:39Yeah, of course.
29:39Yeah.
29:40OK.
29:40Where are you going to go?
29:41What are you thinking?
29:42Oh, crikey.
29:45Um, I think vinegar and water, when you put vinegar into water, it definitely sinks.
29:53So, but does balsamic vinegar any different to normal vinegar?
29:58Um, natural bamboo.
30:04Yeah, I think that could possibly be right as well.
30:07What are we doing for time?
30:10Yeah.
30:12Um, OK.
30:14Let's try, let's try that one.
30:16OK, let's get round there.
30:22Truth or lie?
30:24That is the truth.
30:25That opens up skimmed milk, olive oil.
30:29I'm going to risk olive oil, because that was a lie.
30:32It can't both be a lie.
30:35Truth or lie?
30:38Oh!
30:40Nice.
30:41Oh, dear.
30:42It floats on water, olive oil.
30:45Let's take a look at that bridge.
30:47Oh.
30:49Here are the truths that you missed, Con.
30:53Maple syrup is heavier than water.
30:56So, regular vinegar is heavier than water.
30:59And balsamic vinegar is heavier than that.
31:03And skimmed milk is heavier than water.
31:07It's great when you've got all the answers.
31:09It is.
31:10I'm afraid you have been beaten by the bridge.
31:12And for now, your game is over.
31:16Thanks, Ross.
31:23Let's go and chat to Paula and Sophia in the vaults.
31:28Hi.
31:29Hello.
31:31Brian was looking for Glastonbury headliners.
31:34He got to the end before he crashed out with Three Lies.
31:39Con faced science.
31:41Oh, no.
31:43And he hit Three Lies.
31:45So, for now, it's down to you two.
31:48Come and join me for the final crossing.
31:51Oh, my goodness.
31:53Oh, my goodness.
31:58Welcome back.
32:00You've made it here with £1,500.
32:04Now, you face the final crossing.
32:07And you're playing this one as a team.
32:09Remember, only one of you needs to make it across to bank the money.
32:14But before we start, the bridge has this offer.
32:19You could sell a player and double your money to £3,000.
32:25Or you could buy a player back.
32:27But it will half your money.
32:30What's it going to be?
32:32I think we have to.
32:33I think we've got to buy him back.
32:34Yeah.
32:35Let's buy back Brian.
32:36You're going to buy back Brian?
32:37Yes, please.
32:38Let's bring back Brian.
32:41Hello, Brian.
32:42Hello.
32:44Sorry, folks.
32:45Not me.
32:47Remember, you're playing for family pride,
32:49but you're also playing for £750.
32:53What would you spend the money on?
32:55I think we'd go for a nice celebratory meal somewhere
32:57to drown our sorrows, have a bit of wine.
32:59Yeah, yeah.
32:59That would be good.
33:00That should be a rather good meal indeed, actually.
33:02Yeah.
33:03OK, let's play the final crossing.
33:05You're playing this one as a team
33:07so you can confer as much as you like.
33:09You'll face one row at a time.
33:12There is only one true statement on each row.
33:15The timer starts when I finish reading the last statement.
33:19Make sure you are on a step before the wave hits.
33:22If you're not, you're out of the game
33:24and the next player will take over.
33:27Now, please stand in the order you'd like to play.
33:31I think Brian, you need your opinion.
33:33I've got a last.
33:33Yeah.
33:33OK.
33:34Sounds good.
33:35Yep.
33:36Yep.
33:36OK, Sophia, you're first up.
33:38Come and join me on the bridge.
33:46Welcome to the final crossing.
33:48Are you ready?
33:50Yes.
33:51I think we're ready.
33:52Bridge, please reveal the first row.
33:58A Pentagon has nine sides.
34:01The capital cities of Buenos Aires and Caracas are in South America.
34:07Lululemon is a variety of lemon.
34:11Here comes the wave.
34:12Pentagon has five sides, right?
34:14Yeah, for sure.
34:15And Lululemon is a fitness wear.
34:17Yeah, it's a clothing brand.
34:18So it's definitely the middle one.
34:19It's definitely the middle one.
34:20Yeah.
34:20Yeah, definitely.
34:22Let's do it.
34:22OK, let's go for it.
34:26Sophia, you have stepped on the capital cities of Buenos Aires
34:30and Caracas are in South America.
34:35Is that a truth or is that a lie?
34:42It is a truth.
34:44Well played.
34:45Only five rows left.
34:47Bridge, please reveal the next row.
34:52I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles is the anthem of Liverpool FC.
34:59Wernham Hogg is the fictional company in succession.
35:04The band five has six members.
35:08U.S. outlaw William Bonney was known as Billy the Kid.
35:15OK, so...
35:16Here comes the wave.
35:17The first two are wrong.
35:18I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles is West Ham.
35:20OK.
35:20Wernham Hogg is from The Office.
35:22Oh, perfect.
35:23Good or two?
35:23I'm not sure.
35:25Five...
35:25You would think surely not.
35:27But is that too obvious?
35:28William Bonney.
35:29I've heard that name, but I don't know if it's Billy the Kid or something else.
35:31It's one of those two.
35:32What do you think, Mum?
35:33Have you heard of this one?
35:33Do you have any idea on five?
35:36The short and taut term of William is Billy, but I think...
35:39What do we think?
35:39Yeah, give it a try, William.
35:40Yeah, sure.
35:41OK.
35:41Sure.
35:42Sophia, you have stepped on.
35:44The U.S. outlaw William Bonney was known as Billy the Kid.
35:51Hopefully.
35:52Is that a truth or is that a lie?
36:00That is a truth.
36:02Well played.
36:03Well done, Sophie.
36:04Great logic and great conferring.
36:06Shot by Pat Garrett, I believe.
36:09Only four rows left.
36:11Bridge, please reveal the next row.
36:16The first calculation of pie was done by Pythagoras.
36:20A narwhal's tusk is made of keratin.
36:24The novel Wuthering Heights is set in Yorkshire.
36:30Any idea?
36:31I'm not sure.
36:32It comes the way.
36:33There's definitely a connection to Yorkshire with the Brant, isn't there?
36:35And the Windy Moors.
36:36Yeah, I thought that was where they were all from.
36:38Is it necessarily set there?
36:39I'm not sure.
36:39I don't know, but yeah, keratin is more here.
36:42It comes the way.
36:43I'd go for this one.
36:44Leaning towards that, yeah.
36:45I don't know for sure now, but leaning towards that.
36:47Yeah, let's go for it.
36:48Sophia, you have stepped on.
36:50The novel Wuthering Heights is set in Yorkshire.
36:55Is that a truth or is that a lie?
37:05It is a truth, okay?
37:07Only three rows left.
37:09Here we go.
37:11Bridge, please reveal the next row.
37:16The first ever F1 Grand Prix race was held in Italy.
37:21Top Shop first opened before New Look.
37:25Frank Sinatra was born in New York.
37:28Charles Dickens' first novel was Great Expectations.
37:34Okay, well, pretty sure Sinatra is not correct.
37:37I think he's from Jersey.
37:38Yeah, from Jersey, yeah.
37:40There was a lot of...
37:41Italy had a big influence on F1 at the start.
37:42I'm leaning that way, but I really don't know.
37:44What do you think about Top Shop?
37:45I don't know.
37:45Top Shop could have been open before New Look.
37:48I think it could be either of those two.
37:49My favourite answer is F1, but I'm really not.
37:51Yeah, go for it.
37:56Sophia, you have stepped on.
37:57The first one, the first ever F1 Grand Prix race was held in Italy.
38:03Is that a truth or is that a lie?
38:09It might be Silverstone, the first one.
38:10I don't know.
38:15It's a lie, I'm afraid.
38:17It was Silverstone in the UK in 1950.
38:21Sophia, I'm afraid you have been beaten by the bridge.
38:25Thank you for playing.
38:27Paula, come and join me.
38:32Paula, welcome to the final crossing.
38:36Bridge, please reveal the remaining statements.
38:41Top Shop first opened before New Look.
38:44Frank Sinatra was born in New York.
38:48Charles Dickens' first novel was Great Expectations.
38:55Growing up, I remember Top Shop before New Look.
38:57All I'm confident on is the Sinatra one I'm sure is not correct,
38:59so I'm happy to go.
39:02Top Shop was around when you were?
39:04Yeah.
39:04OK.
39:04Let's go ahead then.
39:05Yeah.
39:06OK, Paula, you have stepped on.
39:09Top Shop first opened before New Look.
39:14Is that a truth or is that a lie?
39:23That is the truth.
39:24Top Shop was 1964.
39:26New Look was 1969.
39:29Only two rows left.
39:31Bridge, please reveal the next row.
39:36The Rosetta Stone was discovered in Jordan.
39:40Izzard is an old name for the letter Z.
39:44The Foreign Secretary is based at nine Downing Streets.
39:49Here comes the wave.
39:51I don't think it's the Rosetta Stone.
39:53I don't think that's right.
39:54I don't think it's the Foreign Secretary either.
39:55You don't think it's the Foreign Secretary?
39:56I'm not sure about that.
39:57Will I go for this one?
39:58Yeah, sure.
39:59Let's try it.
40:00Paula, you have stepped on.
40:03Izzard is an old name for the letter Z.
40:08Is that a truth or is that a lie?
40:18It is a truth.
40:20Well played.
40:21Well done, Paula.
40:23Paula, you are one step away from taking home the money.
40:26But if you tread on a lie, you're out of the game.
40:30And Brian will face two new steps.
40:34Bridge, please reveal the final row.
40:40Orchestras usually tune up to middle C before a concert.
40:46Verjuice is the juice of unripe fruit.
40:51I really don't know, Paula.
40:53It comes the wave.
40:54I'm thinking middle C.
40:55You feel middle C?
40:56Yeah.
40:56I haven't a clue.
40:57I'm trusting you.
40:57Yeah, let's do it.
40:59Paula, you have stepped on.
41:03Orchestras usually tune up to middle C before a concert.
41:09Is that a truth or is that a lie?
41:20It's a lie, I'm afraid.
41:23They tune up to a, Paula, I'm afraid you've been beaten by the bridge.
41:29Thank you for playing.
41:30Brian, come and join me.
41:35Brian, welcome to the final crossing.
41:38You are one step away from beating the bridge and taking home the money.
41:43Bridge, please reveal two new steps.
41:51Stella McCartney was the creative director of Chloe.
41:56The Egyptian god Anubis has the head of an elephant.
42:02But it comes the way.
