Hello, everybody. Very welcome back to the House Of Games.
It is Wednesday. What a week we are having.
We've had two one-point wins already this week.
Somebody at the end of the week is going to win the trophy.
We do not know who it is going to be yet.
We do know it will be one of these four people.
And they are Will Kirk,
Edith Bowman... Hello.
..Fern Brady... Hello.
..and Martin Lewis.
Now, Martin Lewis, two shows, two wins, one-point win each time.
How are you doing it?
Carefully. But I think this is the Wednesday wobble.
I think the Wednesday wobble is happening today. My money...
Yes. ..here you go, and the reason I'm saying this is then I have
two chances of winning one if I win myself
and another if my prediction is right... Clever. Yeah.
..is Edith today. Oh, come on. Interesting. I think Edith...
No chance! I peaked in the first half of yesterday's show.
He's trying to get into your head, isn't he?
He's thinking about everything, though.
He's tallying up everyone's scores whilst it's going on.
He's got an amazing brain. I'm just like, "huh?"
Normally on this show, if I say, take me through your thinking
on a particular answer, people go, "I don't know." Yeah.
Martin, we got we got a proper kind of
very interestingly reasoned lecture.
Fern... Not necessarily right, though. Not necessarily right.
You're quite right, but it sounds good.
And that's half the battle in life, isn't it?
Fern, yesterday, one point off the lead.
Yeah, I'm outraged you're acting like it's a foregone conclusion
Martin's going to win and I'm seeing it as a challenge.
Oh, I would never do that.
Listen, if one of you three are not going to win
the next three days, I'll be absolutely fuming.
I know what you're capable of.
Edith also lost by one point. That was on Monday.
If you win today, there's a prize for you up here.
Oh, come on. So, Martin has already taken home a robe and a dartboard.
If you were to win today, there's the chopping board,
the driving gloves, the hairbrush,
the tool box and the wheelie luggage.
What do you fancy?
Oh, those driving gloves look well sexy. I'm going to go with them.
You're going to go driving gloves? A rare but hipster choice...
Yeah. ..if I may say. OK. I just don't like the idea
of like chopping your face whilst I'm making dinner.
It seems a bit much. Yeah. You can turn it around.
OK. Will, what would you go for?
Well, it's going to have to be the tool box. It is good.
Oh, of course.
You must have so many tool boxes, though. Loads.
But this will be a special tool box.
But do you have like proper, kind of, because you will have every tool
in the world. Yeah.
But do you have like a proper old-fashioned
kind of hipstery tool box from the 1930s?
Those are tool rolls for all my chisels.
I've got over 300 chisels.
You've got 300 chisels?!
What?! Have you got like a Bob the Builder belt as well?
Yeah, it's a huge belt.
Wow. Between us, Will, you and I have 301 chisels.
LAUGHTER
Wow.
Fern, what would you go for?
Well, I travel a lot for work, so definitely the suitcase
just to have your iconic, recognisable outline on it.
Also, every single stand up comedian in Britain owns that suitcase
now as well. So... Oh. Yeah. So you have to join the club,
you'd all be fighting over it. Mm.
Martin? I'm tempted by the suitcase, but I'm not sure
going through an airport, necessarily,
I want the attention that your face on a suitcase would bring.
Man, I'll tell you what, those sniffer dogs, they love it.
Absolutely love it.
So I'm thinking the chopping board.
I have no qualms about chopping on your face. Lovely.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Let's take a very quick look at our weekly leaderboard
before we go into Round One.
Martin at the top there with eight points.
But it's been a one-point win both days,
so it's going to be super close today.
Absolutely no offence to you, Martin, but come on, everyone else.
Let's see what we can do. Shall we play our first round?
Yes. Yeah. OK. Best of luck, one and all. Our first round today is...
Fingers on buzzers, please.
First thing I'm going to do is show you a category.
And today's category is Asian countries.
OK, I'm going to show you a series of pictures. They will sound like
an Asian country, but which Asian country is this?
That is Will.
Singapore. Singapore.
Beautiful. A singer and a paw.
Singapore. Well played, Will.
If we would stop now, OK,
you'd have a tool box. Yes!
Here's your next Asian country.
Will. Is it Thailand?
Thailand.
Absolutely. Tile, and. Very well done.
Yes! This is Will's round.
Wow. This is what they get up to in The Repair Shop
between repairs.
Which Asian country is this, please?
Will. Is that Pakistan?
Pack-kiss-stan.
Oh, Will Kirk, everybody.
Well rested. Very, very nicely played.
Here's your next category.
Colours.
What colour is this, please?
Will.
Ruby. Ruby.
Absolutely right.
RuPaul and a bumblebee, ruby. He's on fire.
What on earth has happened?
Next one. What colour is this, please?
Fern.
Aquamarine. Aquamarine.
Aqua and a marine.
It's the band Aqua.
Next colour.
Yes, Edith. Khaki.
Khaki. That's a good one.
Khaki. Very well played.
APPLAUSE
It's a good round, this, isn't it? Yes. Yeah. No.
No, not so much.
This is what you did yesterday, though, Martin, wasn't it?
Started the first... I thought I should give them a chance. Yeah.
Next category.
These are all mammals.
But which mammals are they?
Yes, that's Edith. Chipmunk.
Chipmunk.
Absolutely. A chip and a monk, chipmunk.
I had dipmonk. I was like, "What's a dipmonk?" A dipmonk.
Saucy monk. Yeah. There we go.
Next mammal.
Edith. Pine marten.
Pine marten.
Very good.
Chris Pine and Chris Martin.
I was thinking... Chris and Chris? ..Chris Chris.
Chris Chris, is that a thing?
Pine marten. That's beautifully played.
Final question.
Yes, Will. Wallaby.
Wallaby.
Rik Waller and a bee.
I had no idea who that was on the left.
I knew it was Rik Waller and I was thinking Rikbee.
Rikbee? Come on.
What a round for Will.
Very, very good round for Edith as well.
Let's take a look at our scores, shall we? At the end of round one,
Martin yet to get off the mark.
Fern, you have one.
Edith, you've got three.
Will Kirk, five points.
APPLAUSE
Very nicely done.
Thank you.
You see, put a tool box up for grabs, suddenly...
LAUGHTER
..suddenly he comes alive.
It's visual. Visual. Yeah.
Very, very impressive. Let's play a pairs game, shall we?
Today's pairs game is going to be...
It's a pairs game. The player in fourth gets to choose
their partner. Martin, it's you today.
Who would you like to play with? I'm going to have Fern today.
You're going to play with Fern.
The first time we've seen that pair this week.
Fern and Martin, and Edith and Will.
Now, before the show, you all sent me the name of an entertainment
television show, but using just emojis. You are now going to have to
guess the show that your partner sent to me.
So, Edith... Mm-hm. ..before the show, Will sent me some emojis
which represent an entertainment television show.
But which entertainment television show is this?
Hm.
Oh, I think it's Blind Date.
Oh! Blind Date, Will?
Blind Date. Absolutely.
That's good. That's very good.
Yeah. Thank you. Very, very nicely done.
Well done if you've got that at home as well.
Martin, before the show, Fern sent me the name
of an entertainment television show
using just emojis.
Can you get your first point of the day?
I'm so sorry.
Fireman, Fire Sword...
LAUGHTER
What do you think at home on this one? Have you got this one?
Fight? Um...
Huh.
OK. Shall we time you out, Martin?
Yeah. Would you have a clue on this?
Would it be gladiators?
You're close.
So, Fern, why don't you talk us through your thinking
and then reveal the answer? EDITH: Ninja Warrior?
You just got it.
I love Ninja... That's not a ninja! What was it? Ninja Warrior.
Ninja Warrior. That's not a ninja. I know, because there wasn't an emoji
for ninja on my phone.
You went for a fireman instead.
Fireman Warrior, it's a new series.
It could be really good. I was like, London's Burning?
I put in "fighter" into my phone on it offered me that Emoji.
Why? Firefighter!
Of course, it's a firefighter.
I only just realised it's a firefighter. OK.
That is a tough one.
Will, before the show, Edith sent me the name
of an entertainment television show.
She seems confident.
Let's take a look at which TV show Edith sent me.
Oh.
I'd have a guess.
Yeah. Mm.
OK. OK.
There are two I'm thinking about.
However, I'm going to go for The Big Breakfast.
Was it The Big Breakfast?
I think it is. Well done.
That's what I would've gone for.
Big Breakfast. Very well done.
Nicely played.
And, Fern, before the show, Martin sent me
an entertainment television programme.
Which programme did he send me?
Ooh.
Oh, Britain's Got Talent. Britain's Got Talent, Martin?
Yeah, Britain's Got Talent. Absolutely. Very well done.
That does what it says on the tin, doesn't it?
Very well done at home if you got four out of four, there.
And that's the end of that round.
Let's take a look at our scores.
Martin just getting off the mark, there.
And this is how the leaderboard looks.
Martin won on Monday and Tuesday,
one today. But that's one point.
Fern, you have two.
Edith, five. Will Kirk still out in the lead, seven points.
Well played, Will. That's nice, isn't it?
Lovely. Beautiful. For now.
For now, exactly.
Three rounds to go.
Let's play our next round, shall we? Today, that is going to be...
We've taken the lyrics of some famous songs.
You've been a DJ for most of your life, Edith,
this would be a good round for you. Oh, God.
We've taken the lyrics, but we've changed the words.
They mean the same, but the words have all changed.
Fingers on buzzers. Which song is this?
Will. Rio.
Is it Rio?
Absolutely right. By Duran Duran. Well played.
# Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand... #
I knew that. Well done.
Rio by Duran Duran. Well played, Will.
Here's your next one.
Yes, Martin.
Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini.
I mean, I'm assuming it is.
# It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini... #
Well done. By Brian Hyland.
Shows my music knowledge.
The last single you bought. Next song.
Yes, Martin.
Tony Christie. Do You Know The Way To...?
I'm going to time you out, I'm sorry.
..Amarillo.
It is, but it's the wrong title. Fern?
Is This The Way To Amarillo?
Let's take a listen.
# Is this the way to Amarillo? #
Absolutely. Tony Christie. Well played, Fern. Is This The Way
To Amarillo by Tony Christie. Next song.
Oh! Yes, Fern.
No!
RICHARD LAUGHS
That's dramatic,
if nothing else. Anyone?
Yes, Edith. Video Killed The Radio Star?
See, that's what I was going to say. Let's have a listen, shall we?
# Video killed the radio star. #
Urgh! Yeah.
Oh, in my car. Yeah.
By Buggles. Very, very well done if you got that one at home.
Next song.
Oh, Waterfalls.
Waterfalls. Let's have a listen.
# Don't go chasing waterfalls. #
TLC, absolutely, well done.
"Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to."
Next one.
Yes, Fern.
White Christmas. Is it White Christmas?
You're on it with the Christmas
songs, eh? Yesterday as well. Bing Crosby.
It's very weird to hear Christmas songs like this.
It's like when they come on shuffle on your iPod or something.
Oh, no.
Final question in this round.
Which song is this, please?
Yes, Martin.
Sit Down by James.
Is it Sit Down by James?
It's not, I'm afraid. Yes, Fern?
Angels. Is it Angels?
# I sit awake... #
Love this round!
Robbie Williams, of course.
Well played, Fern. Lovely round for you.
That's the end of that round.
Let's take a look at our scoreboard, shall we?
Martin still in fourth there with two points.
Edith and Fern joint second with six points each.
Will Kirk still out in the lead.
Eight points. Clinging on.
Clinging on. Two rounds to go.
Two rounds to hang on.
Very close between the three of you.
We've seen Martin pick up a lot of points before,
though, we've seen it done.
Let's play our fourth round today.
It is...
If you take your tablets out, please.
I'll show you... I like the tablet rounds. Oh, that's good.
They're my least favourite. Sorry!
I'm going to show you a series of pictures.
I just need you to point to something.
Here's your first picture...
..and I wonder if you could put
your finger on...
That's a fun question.
Which of those means that?
What do you think at home? Some familiar-looking little symbols
there, but what do each of them mean?
Will, what were you thinking on this?
I think it's the bottom left.
Bottom left. Do you know what? When I was looking at that,
I was thinking you see that... You see that on lots of things. Yeah.
And it's usually on, like, a safety label.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something CE.
OK. He's gone bottom left.
Edith, what are you thinking?
Yeah, same. I kind of eliminated a few... Well, a couple,
and then I thought, actually, that's sort of... The idea
of it being the euro as well. That's the E.
Yeah. It used to be the gang that we used to be part of.
I remember. Fern, are you agreeing with everyone?
Yeah, I picked the same and I imagined it was some French
letters like something europeenne.
Oui, c'est ca. C'est tres bon.
Martin, if you've gone for the same one,
then this round is entirely pointless.
What have you gone for? You will actually all be surprised
under common European safety standards
the Rubik's Cube on top right is meaningless.
I went for the same as you.
Oh, this feels like the sort of thing Martin would know as well.
I don't know if that's right.
I don't know if you would know it, particularly.
I wouldn't say I'm 100%, but I think... I'm...
It's sort of in the high 80s. One of two things is going to happen.
We're all going to look great
and I'm going to give away four points and that's lovely
and everyone at home who went for the same thing will be delighted
or we're all going to look foolish
because I would've gone for the same one,
so let's find out. What was the correct answer?
It was. Yes! Very well done. And it is - you're quite right, Fern -
Conformite Europeenne is the... Yes! Is that CE.
Conformite Europeenne. Very well done at home if you got that one.
Let's do another one, shall we, and see if we can come
up with different answers.
Now, I wonder if you could put your finger on Liam Hemsworth, please.
Which of those is Liam Hemsworth?
What do you think at home there? A fan of the Hemsworths?
Who's that guy on the right?
Was that Liam Hemsworth?
Hmm.
OK. Everyone's in. They're all Hemsworths.
But which one of those is Liam Hemsworth?
Edith, do you know this one?
I think so. It's not Thor. He's in the middle.
Yeah. I think it's the one on the left.
You're going to go for the one on the left. Yeah.
I mean... Mr ex Miley Cyrus. Is he Miley Cyrus' ex,
Liam Hemsworth? They had a short-lived marriage.
Very short. Yeah. Didn't know that.
That's a real meeting of the clans, isn't it? Fern?
Sounds like you might know the answer as well.
Well, no, I thought I did, and I thought it was the middle one.
So you've gone in the middle, Hemsworth number two.
Martin, what were you thinking?
I knew Thor, so I went for Thor.
So you went for Thor? Yeah.
OK. Got Thor and Thor.
And Will, what were you saying?
I think the middle one's Chris Hemsworth, maybe.
I've gone for the left.
You've gone left as well.
Yes, the one in the middle - that's Chris Hemsworth.
Thor.
But have we alighted upon...
If anyone's going to get this, Edith,
with your film knowledge, it's you,
so is that Liam Hemsworth, the ex Mr Miley Cyrus?
Absolutely right.
The other one is Luke Hemsworth.
Luke. He was an actor as well, Luke Hemsworth.
So, a point there for Will and a point for Edith.
Next picture?
Oh, my God.
Hmm.
I'm looking for the signal for a touchdown.
Which of those is the signal for a touchdown?
Hm.
OK, everyone's in. So, Fern,
which of those have you gone for and why?
I went for the upper left one just because he seems happy.
It looks like... He's got no face!
But he's doing this, "touchdown."
He can't believe what's happened.
He's like, "Oh, my... Did anyone else just see that?
"Someone's done a touchdown." Yes.
Martin. The top left is a six in cricket, isn't it?
Which sort of put me off.
So I thought, it's a touchdown.
I'll go for the one who's pointing down,
so I went for the left. Clever.
So you've gone bottom left. Will, what do you think?
Do you know this one?
No, I've chosen the top left, but I thought maybe that's
when they kick it through the funny sticks. That's possible, yeah.
The little... Yeah, so maybe not a touchdown, but when they score
a field goal, maybe that's a field goal. I don't know.
I've gone top left. Top left.
And Edith, do you know this one?
I wasn't sure whether it was the YMCA or the Steps dance
they were doing, to be honest,
but I'm trying to think of all the films I've seen
where American football is and that touchdown just kind
of popped into my head. Oh!
I've gone with bottom left,
but I might be wrong. Bottom left, so we've got a 50-50 split.
What do you think at home?
Do you agree, disagree with either of these?
The signal for touchdown is...
The top one!
Wow.
Well done. Isn't it fascinating
how Edith absolutely convinced all of us?
Yeah. I believed her.
I changed so quickly, "yeah!"
My mind games are working!
Fern and Will get the point.
And that's refused penalty.
OK. Of course it is.
Or an incomplete pass also - that's the same signal.
Final picture in this round.
I wonder if you can point to the yucca.
The yucca, please.
Have a little go at home. Have a little point to the screen.
Which of those is a yucca? A lot of them look the same.
Martin, what have you gone for here? The top right.
Top right. Confident?
98%. Whoa!
A yucca has a wooden base with an offset plant at the top.
That's a yucca. Interesting.
It's taking a lot of the jeopardy out of the round. Yes.
Will, agree or disagree?
I haven't gone for that.
I thought I have one of those top white ones in my flat,
and I would have remembered the name, but obviously not.
Interesting. I've gone for...
I could just... You could have made it up.
..have made a botanical fool of myself.
I'll never go to Kew again. Easily sold.
I've gone for the one in the dark green pot - the second
from the bottom right. Okey dokey.
Edith, where are you going with the yucca?
I was just admiring the lovely collection of cacti.
I went with top right as well.
I recently bought a yucca and I think they sent me the right
plant. 98% guaranteed by the Money Saving Expert. And Fern?
I would have picked the top right, but then I was trying to decide
it by thinking which ones I can't have because they poison my cat,
and I know that a yucca plant poisons my cat,
and that was why I went for the top left.
There's so many things poison...
So many flowers poison cats, don't they?
Yeah. All the all the worst house plants are the ones that aren't
poisonous to them.
Yeah.
So we have a real difference of opinion here.
Martin is fairly sure it's top right, but we've got
three different plants. What do you think at home?
What have you gone for here, for the yucca?
Let's find out.
Have Martin and Edith scored themselves a point?
They have indeed. Very well done.
Your reputation is intact.
I was 100%, really, but I wanted to give you some jeopardy.
Oh, thank you. Much appreciated.
Tablets away, please, everybody.
We have one round to go.
We just have our final round Answer Smash to go.
Let's take a look at our leaderboard.
Well, looky here, Martin has four points. That might be too much
to make up in the final round, but three points
between the rest of you.
Fern lost by one point yesterday.
You have eight points. Edith, lost by one point on Monday.
You have nine points.
Will looking for the tool box.
I want that tool box. 11 points.
Just for my big chisel.
Will and his big chisel.
Skate over that and play our final round, shall we, which is...
Best of luck, everybody.
Martin, I think you're too far back, I think you are.
But Fern, Edith, Will, I think we're going to find
a new champion today.
Who is it going to be? One of the three of you.
Point for a correct answer. Point off for an incorrect answer.
Very best of luck. Your first category is...
Those will be the pictures. Oh, here we go.
No? Is that a problem?
He's going to get this one easy. Go on, Will.
The pressure! I can't do the pressure, please.
Will, you're going to be fine.
Did you just say, "Let's play. Let's just play"?
Yes. Just play, come on.
No mucking about.
Here's your first one.
Yes, Edith.
Snail brush.
Snail brush is the right answer.
Snail and nail brush - snail brush.
Well done.
It's quite tense, isn't it?
Yes, Edith.
Saturday Kitchen Roll.
Very well done.
Saturday Kitchen and kitchen roll. Love a bit of Saturday Kitchen.
He's very good, Matt Tebbutt.
Next clue, next picture.
Yes, Will. Is it Another One Bites The Dust Pan And Brush?
Another One Bites The Dust Pan And Brush.
Absolutely, Will. Well done.
Next category...
Those will be the pictures. There'll be clues above.
Yes, Martin.
Um, Isn't It Ironick...
I have just forgotten his last name.
I'm so sorry - I have to time you out.
Lose a point.
Anybody?
Yes, Fern. Ironick Ferrari.
Ironick Ferrari.
It's incorrect, I'm afraid.
Lose a point. Edith? Ironick Diamond.
You lose a point as well.
No! Well, everyone's lost a point.
You can just sit back if you want or you can have a go.
I'm going to sit back.
It was Anne Diamond, Anne and Nick.
And that's Nick Owen. Ironick Owen we were looking for.
Ironic and Nick Owen.
Another lovely, lovely fella.
Well done if you said that at home.
Next question and next picture.
Yes, that is Martin.
There's Something About Mary Nightingale.
There's something about Mary Nightingale.
Absolutely right.
Well done, Martin. There's Something About Mary and Mary Nightingale.
Next category. Phew!
KLAXON
Well, well, well.
Has Will Kirk won himself a tool box?
I'll be so angry... If you have won a tool box, by the way,
and I don't see it on the next series of Repair Shop, I'm going
to be absolutely gutted.
Oh, gosh.
Oh, gosh, because Jay Blades hasn't got one. No.
Let's just say that.
Let's find out, shall we?
On Monday, our champion was Martin Lewis by one point
from Edith. On Tuesday, Martin Lewis again by one point from Fern.
Our champion on Wednesday is...
Will Kirk is our champion.
Congratulations, Will. I do not believe it.
How about that? Wow.
Wow.
I mean, yeah, agreed.
Let's take a look at the prizes, shall we?
You can change your mind if you wish.
Gosh, I wasn't prepared for this.
Oh gosh. You sticking with the tool box?
I'll go for the tool box.
Will Kirk wins the House Of Games tool box.
Congratulations, Will, very well played.
Another great game. Well done, everyone.
Let's take a look at our weekly leaderboard, which is getting very,
very close now.
Look at that - two points between the lot of you. All four
of you still within a chance of taking home that trophy,
especially with Double Points Friday coming up as well.
Everybody still in it. It's going to be a great week,
I think. Two days to go - anyone's trophy.
Will, congratulations today.
Shall we rejoin battle tomorrow?
Yeah! Excellent. We'll see you here.
See you as well on the House Of Games.
What's your professional opinion, Will? Good quality.
It's not bad, is it? Not bad at all.
Look at that. I love it.
I mean, that will take a take a number of... Yeah.
I mean, that will come off.
You can chisel that off fairly easily.
