Hello, everybody, welcome back to this week's House Of Games. Four famous faces battling it out for this trophy. Our players this week are Joe Thomas. Lucy Beaumont. Jake Wood. And Shazia Mirza. Hi. Welcome back, and welcome back, Joe. A win on Monday. I know, I can't believe it. And you took home the reusable coffee mug? Yeah. I don't really... The thing is, I'll use that. And that's important in life. It is important, yeah. Sustainability. Don't have a load of stuff that you're not going to use. Oh, man, what a beautiful message for a Tuesday. That's quite something. I'm always saying stuff like that. Not just a winner but a great guy, Lucy. That's the thing. He is, yeah. Thank you! You did pretty well yesterday, to be fair. How was your experience on Monday? You did pretty well. Oh, thanks, yeah. I mean, I didn't embarrass myself too much. That's all you can hope for in life, isn't it? Yeah. And one of the rounds, I really enjoyed. I mean, listen, that's all you can ask for, isn't it? Yeah, it definitely is. Jake, shall we take a little look at the weekly leaderboards from yesterday? Yes. We know that Joe won. But you had a very handy second place there as well, you were catching him at the end, so you have three points, Lucy two and Shazia one. Have you got a win in you this week? Yeah, all to play for. Early days, early days. Absolutely right. Shazia. Hello. If you win today, you could take home one of these. There's the tool box, the cufflinks, the scented candle, the shopping bag or the cut-glass decanter. Which of those takes your eye? I think the cut-glass decanter would be very nice on my bedside table. So you, by and large, you would think, a decanter, bedside table? That's a bit worrying. That's a little look into the home life of Shazia there. Shall we get on and play, find out who's going to win one of those prizes? Our first round today is... We're going to go along the line and ask you each two questions at a time, OK? The first question will be a difficult, highbrow question about high culture, the second question will be a more popular culture question. They both have the same answer. If you get it from the highbrow question, you get two points. If you get it from the lowbrow, you get one. Joe, here is your highbrow question for two points... I don't know anything about Greek mythology. Chimeric? Yeah, I know. Shall we go straight to the lowbrow? Aw! I think we should, I think we have to go for the lowbrow. Your lowbrow question is this. It has the same answer. So, for one point... I don't think I know that either. OK, well, we can throw it open to your opponents. Shall we time you out? Please time me out, I don't know what to say. Timing Joe out. Anyone else fancy that? No-one! Chimeric means made up of more than one creature. Oh! And the answer, and the surname, and the answer to the first one... I know it now. ..is griffin. Yeah. Ah. I did know that. Lucy, a highbrow question for you now, for two points... Do you fancy a go at this or shall we go to the lowbrow? I'll for the lowbrow! Let's take a little look at the lowbrow. Oh, so score. Scores on the door. Or score on the door...? BUZZER It is not, I'm afraid. Ooh, you're going to kick yourself. Same answer to both of them... Key is the answer, key of the door, 21. Oh, rats! And a key, the tonal basis of a piece of music. There you go, well done if you got that at home. Jake, highbrow question for you. It's not a castle, is it? Worth a go. Exactly. Shall we take a look? You can change your answer when we look at the lowbrow one, but you're going to say castle. Your lowbrow question is this... I have no idea. Do you want to stick with your original? I'll stick with the original. Stick with castle? Castle, yeah. Let's take a look, for two points, is it castle? Absolutely right, Jake, two points. Thank you. So, from 0-0 to two. Because they weren't in Australia that year, it was in a castle in Wales. Of course it was, yes. Hence Queen of the Castle. Shazia, for two points, I wonder if you can answer this? Knight in shining armour. Knight in shining armour? Let's take a look if that's the same answer to your lowbrow question. Which singer? Ah... It's the same answer, apparently. Hmm. Do you know this one at home? Michael Bolton? Is it Michael Bolton? I love that as a guess, though. It's good, isn't it? It is. Can I get a point just for that? It's incorrect. Anyone want to buzz in? Lucy? James Blunt. Is it James Blunt? It is James Blunt. How is that an answer...? It's amazing that that's the answer to the first question. JOE: Wow! Wow. We come back to you now, Joe. Highbrow question for two points. That was fun to read! Wow. The only character I know from the commedia dell'arte is Harlequin. If the lowbrow question is, what's the shopping centre in Watford? Yep. You, my friend, are laughing. I'm golden, yeah. Let's take a look, what is the lowbrow question? I mean, I'm going to have to stay with Harlequin. Have you got two points, is the answer Harlequin? It is Harlequin! Well done, for two points. Lucy, a two-pointer for you here. Yeah, OK. I mean, he obviously does the Sherlock. He did some early work, didn't he? Yeah. I guess. But I don't know. Shall we go to lowbrow? Yeah. Lowbrow... Erm... For one point. Jurassic Park II? I love it. Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a book called Jurassic Park II! Yeah, he was so far ahead of his time, Arthur Conan Doyle. Amazing, innit? Let's take a look, is the answer Jurassic Park II? BUZZER It's not, I'm afraid. Anyone know that one? Jake? Is it The Lost World? Well played, Jake, it is The Lost World, nicely done. Jake, here's yours. Which polygon? I'm going to guess octagon. Octagon, says Jake. Let's see if you want to stick with that or change your answer. I know for a fact that's the octagon. That is the octagon. So, for two points...? Very well played, Jake, the octagon. Nicely done. Two points for you. Thank you. And, Shazia, let's finish this round, shall we? Slovenia, that's Eastern Europe, so... ..I'd say meat of some kind. Meat is your answer. Let's see if you want to stick with it or change it when you see the lowbrow question. Oh, erm... Porridge. There we go, it must be, surely? Is it Porridge? Absolutely well played, Shazia. Lovely end to the round, a point to you. Let's take a look at what it's done to the scores. One point each for Shazia and Lucy, Joe has two, five points to Jake Wood. Well done, Jake, lovely start. Very impressive. Let's play round two, shall we? And today, that is going to be... It's a pairs game. The player in last place gets to choose their partner. Lucy, today, why don't we ask you to choose a partner? I'm going to choose Joe. That's exactly what you just said. Both just immediately going, yeah, yeah, I'm going for Joe. Joe and Lucy, you're a team. Shazia and Jake, you are a team as well. Now, in this round, I'm going to ask you some questions. If you know the answer, buzz in. If you give me the correct answer, I will ask your partner to spell that answer. And you only get a point if they spell it correctly. So, everyone ready? Fingers on buzzers, please. Answer me this... Joe? I assume it's the Colosseum. Is it the Colosseum? CHIME It is the Colosseum. Sorry, I wouldn't know how to spell that. Lucy, for a point, can you spell Colosseum? It's you, Lucy! Erm, C. O. L. L. BUZZER Oh, I'd have gone two Ls. Sorry, sorry. Let's take a look at it. It's annoying when... Oh, two S... I'd have gone with two Ls and one S. I'd have gone with that as well. That's what I was going to do. Here's your next question. Yes, Shazia? Renee Zellweger. Yeah, Renee Zellweger. CHIME So, Zellweger is the answer. Jake, for the point... Sorry! ..can you spell Zellweger? Z. E. L. E. BUZZER Double L. Is it double L? Is it double L? Let's take a look. Yeah, double L. W-E. Is it double G? No, just one G. Oh, I mean! JOE: Two Ls in Zellweger, one in Colosseum! I mean... Did you not pay attention in school? It's the oldest rule in English. Everyone knows that! It's the first thing they teach you, isn't it? Here's your next question. Yes, Shazia? Aubergine. Aubergine? CHIME Is correct, well done. Jake, for the point, can you spell aubergine? It's easy, come on. Jake, it's spelt as it's said. I've got it. A. U. B. E. R. G. I. N. E. Jake Wood! Well done. Good! Well done, Jake. Well done. Aubergine, well played, Jake, well played, Shazia, point to you. Here's your next question. Joe? Quasimodo. Quasimodo? Ugh! CHIME Is correct. Quasimodo, Lucy, can you spell Quasimodo? I mean, I can only spell it as I say it. Q. U. A. It's not Z, is it? Is it S? S, you're saying? I. M. So tense! Come on! O. D. O. Is the last letter O? Quasimodo, Lucy! Wow! Well done. Well played, Lucy, Quasimodo. Well done if you said that at home. Let's take a look at the scores at the end of round two. Lucy and Shazia, you have two, Joe, you have three, still out in the lead, though, Jake Wood with six points. Well played, Jake. Three rounds to go. Our next round today is... This is a round that our viewers at home help us out with. We sent them the names of some TV programmes and we asked them to tell us a word that they associated with that TV programme, OK? What you're now going to see now is a word cloud of all the words they said, the most common ones coming last and biggest. Fingers on buzzers, everybody. So, which TV programme is this? Everything! Jake? Trumpet did it for me, actually. That's got to be Sonia Jackson, isn't it? EastEnders. Is it EastEnders? BUZZER Oh! Whoa! All of those things for EastEnders. I would have thought so, yeah. Let's carry on, then. Anyone else can buzz in. Yes, that is Lucy. Is it the Simpsons? Oh, she plays the sax, doesn't she? BUZZER It is not, she plays the saxophone. So, and then there were two.

It's, thingy... I might need a tiny bit more. Erm, with the flat caps. You know. I know.

Is the right answer, well done. Caps, gangs, Birmingham - Peaky Blinders. The next ones are going to be children's books. So, we sent the names of some children's books to our viewers, they gave us a word that they associated with them. Yes, Lucy? It's Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. You're unbelievably good at this round. It's weird, innit? Assuming that's the right answer. Yeah! Is it Charlie And The Chocolate Factory? It is, well done. Elevator, sweets, confectionery. Next children's book. Yes, Jake? Harry Potter. BUZZER It's not, I'm afraid. Lucy's forced everyone to go early. Lucy? I was going to say Matilda, but not now with nature, sorry.

Oh, it's anyone's game, isn't it? Two rounds to go. Round four today is going to be... Now, in this round, I need you all to stand up, if that's possible. And we're going to name things in a certain category. If you can't name something in the category, you sit down, and we'll keep going until you're the last person standing up. All right? The categories get quite specific, though. The big part of the category is this... So, any official language spoken by any EU country. But it must not contain... ..the letter S. So, Joe? French. Absolutely. Lucy? German. German? Jake? Italian. Italian? Absolutely. Shazia? Austrian. Austrian? BUZZER Oh, it's got an S in it. I was thinking, surely that's right? So, if you sit down, Shazia. Joe? Norwegian. Oh, they're not in the EU! BUZZER It's incorrect, I'm afraid, Joe. Yeah, not in the EU. Lucy and Jake, just you two. Everyone at home, me included, are going, oh, look, German, French, Italian, we got that. Now where do we go? Lucy? Dutch. Dutch? Ooh. Is that up there? It is up there. Well played. Jake? I literally cannot think of one without an S. Obviously, there's Spanish, there's... No, I'm going to have to pass. You're passing? Yeah. Which means the point goes to Lucy. Well done, Lucy. Wow! Shall we have a look at some others? Oh, Greek! Greek, yeah! And that's all of them. Wow. That's tricky, that, isn't it? So, if you all stand up again, we'll have another category. So, here's your next category. Without the letter... And we will start with Lucy. Trump. Trump. Correct. Jake? Lincoln. Oh, it's got a O! BUZZER I love this round so much! Because everybody does that. You think, oh, it's fine, I've got one. Yeah, Lincoln has got an O in it, I'm afraid. Shazia? Reagan. Ronald Reagan. Reagan? Absolutely, well done. Joe? Erm... CHUCKLING: This is a good stressed look. Bush. Bush? Correct. Well done. Lucy? Kennedy. Kennedy, of course. Well done. Shazia? Erm... Might have to time you out, Shazia.

Lucy? I can't... No? You're...? BUZZER That's a concession there, from Lucy. So, that's a point to Joe. Well done, Joe. Here's some other ones you could have had. There's going to be loads and loads, so have a look at these as they scroll through, I shan't read all them out. Loads more there. Final question in this round, stand up again, everybody.
