Go for rock and Robin Michael Jackson okay Robin for Rocking Robin uh here’s your red line if you can get below that round two awaits let’s see how many of our 100 people said Robin very well done youve done 71 again fabulous economy here nothing nothing

Being wasted at all 114 is your total yeah now the American robin which I presume is what Michael was talking about there is different to the European Robin but it was just named after the European Robin really yeah does it have a red breast yeah that’s why it was

Named after the European Robin oh wow but it’s not the same species mm I know thank you very much indeed okay Nia hello Nia welcome lovely to have you here so near yet so near um um now um tell us all about yourself um well I’m a civil servant and in my spare

Time I write a travel blog called near and far but bum listen no I was all over that b before you were and I’m trying to travel to 30 countries before I turn 30 well that’s exciting that’s exciting any any more still on the list loads um I’ve

Got 21 at the moment I did have 22 but then somebody told me I couldn’t actually count whales cuz we live there so also it’s not officially recognized by the United Nations as a sovereign state in its own right but listen that’s that’s by the um well good luck with

That that’s very exciting um you’re on 83 which means 41 or less is your target that’s all right like the last board a lot better and you know what the worst thing is we actually listened to that Eminem song on the way up in the car yesterday do you

Want to do you want to talk us through this board so um I know one pretty I’m pretty sure I know the top one um which is probably what I’ll go for I’ve got a feeling that rainbow Cottage one is probably going to be something like sh

Or something but I’m not certain at all and as much as I’d like to go for say Robin for that Justin Bieber one I really do not have any sort of clue so I’m going to go for Jenny Ren by Paul McCartney Jenny ren do you know the song

Or is that a punt vaguely you know the expression I know the expression okay there is your red line let’s see if we can get below that red line with Jenny Ren it’s right you’ve done it and again with very little room to spare um perfect takes your total up to

117 beautiful grouping I must say look 114 115 117 125 anyway there we are I mean literally we got 11 points between first and last which is incredibly close especially with those numbers that’s really unlucky well played everybody um now that bottom one much simpler than it seems you just

Need to know that yeah roller roller bird so roller coaster is the answer but it only scores 36 I think a lot of people uh weren’t aware of that uh rocking tricky any bird begin with G Goose goose you’re mighty at Christmas goose rocking rocking goose is the

Answer yeah what were you going to say then I rocking Grouse is really not is it’s not and also not Christmas either but you know um points for that and this one the rainbow Cottage You’ need to know the song really is just a bird beginning with s Sparrow um it’s it’s

The sort of thing Natasha and Margaret that you see all the time in Brighton and ho yes seagull seagull is the answer there you would a song and would have score Five Points the best answer on the board SE okay thank you very much indeed

Okay well we are at the end of our first round we have say goodbye to one of our Pairs and this really upsets me Natasha and Margaret I had different designs for you today I thought you were going right through to the final I just like anyway

I’m sorry that’s not going to be we have to say goodbye to you na it’s been L you on the show thank you so much Margaret and natas but for the remaining three pairs it’s now time for round Two very well done everybody but particular praise to Nia who is our lowest individual scorer in that round and Patrick and Anthony who are our lowest combined scorers but it was so close so close barely get a cigarette paper between your scores all three of

You um anyway so very well done best of luck to all three pairs for our next round and the category for round two today is politicians can you all decide in your pairs who’s going to go first who’s going to go second and whoever’s going first please step up to the Podium okay and the question concerns people who ran to be leader of a UK political party yep we’re going to show you 16 pictures now of people who’ve run to be a leader of a UK political party you just have to name the most obscure of these please thank

You very much indeed so as rich just mentioned we’re going to put a picture up on the board with 16 faces on it each of whom has run to be the leader of some political party in the UK or other some of them will be well known some of them

Less well known but anyway here they are you just have to shout out the name of one of these people there we go neara you will get to go first I’ll just give you a moment to absorb that Rogues Gallery there okay okay think I’m okay what what

Are you going to go for um I will go for Diane Abbott please okay Diane Abbott says near let’s see how many of our 100 people went for Diane Abbott down to 38 38 for Diane Abbott uh yep that is Diane abber 2010 she uh ran for labor leader thank you

Very much indeed Richard Now Toby you going to go for there’s one I’d like to take a punt on but I’m too close to my wife I’ll get hit I’m going to go for Michael hesseltine okay you’re going to go for Michael heslin let’s see how many of our 100 people said Michael

HL down that goes to 28 very good yeah he ran for Tory leader in 1990 hle time beaten by John Major in the end thank you very much indeed Richard now then Anthony hello everyone on this board has run to be the leader of a UK political party who are you

Going to go for here I am going to regret stepping forward here this is absolutely not my favorite subject I knew two and they have both gone so I’m going to have to take a wild punt I’m going to regret this I’m going to say Douglas heard

Douglas herd says Anthony let’s see how many of our 100 people said Douglas herd is it right no bad luck Anthony I’m afraid not Douglas herd that scores you 100 points it may well not be the last 100 of the round yeah sorry Anthony not on that

Board I’m afraid I’ll go through all the answers at the end of the round thank you very much indeed well we’re halfway through our second round let’s have a look at those scores uh 28 well done Toby and Fiona looking very good on that 38 where we find Nia and Josie and then

100 for Anthony and Patrick now Patrick I hope you’ve got a nice low score that might just atone for that I W anyway good luck with it Whatever It Is we’re going to come back down the line now will the second players please step up to the Podium okay Patrick there you are high scorers yes how are you feeling about our board here yeah I’m not feeling good but um I recognize two one of them I’m not quite sure about the first name I’m wored I might get the the wrong first name so I’m going to go for Kenneth

Clark Kenneth Clark says Patrick okay no red line for you as you’re the highest scorers but let’s see how many of our 100 people said Kenneth Clark it’s right very well done indeed that goes down to 21 well done 121 is your total lowest score yeah he ran three times got beaten

Three times as well by William ha Ian Duncan Smith and David Cameron as well first became an MP in 1970 thank you very much indeed Richard okay now then Fiona on 28 you want to score 92 or less if you can I know quite a few on there

But I’m going to go for Michael patillo Michael Portillo says Fiona here’s your red line can you get below that with Michael Portillo let’s find out it’s right and you’re through that goes down to 23 very well done 51 is your total well played Fiona beaten

By Ian Duncan Smith as well but he had the last laugh cuz now he literally just goes around the world on really nice trains yeah in in pink trousers usually he has an unusual wardrobe yeah he’s very good at those shows he is is he I

Quite like to do that be a nice show yeah just gone a train through Canada or something that’d be fun that’ll be right I’d wear normal trousers I think I think so yeah or no trousers like you like on the show like like I do on the show

Thank you very much indeed Richard okay now then Josie there you are you’re on 38 if you can score 82 or less you’re in the head-to-head okay um I know a few of them um so I think that’s Rory Stewart um Ed Balls um and then I think the

Bottom one is either Ed millerand or David millerand or I don’t know his name so I’m going to go for Ed Balls from Strictly go go what I know you’re going to go with Ed Balls here is your red line can you get below that with Ed Balls let’s find

Out it’s right and you’re through very well done there we are 30 Brad balls taking your total up to 68 very well done well played Josie Year Ed bulls or as you gave him his full title Ed Bulls from Strictly um he was beaten by Ed Miller

Band in uh in that leadership um contest now uh talking of Ed Balls uh top right is edet Cooper was beaten by Jeremy Corbin in 2015 she would have scored you eight points you absolutely right about Rory Stewart who lost to uh Boris Johnson he would have scored you 18 now

This one very good answer to this one this he’s he was rmp for a very long time Alan be alen be yeah lost to Paddy Ashdown two points for Alan be um someone else who lost to Jeremy Corbin here Liz Kendall Liz Kendall yeah she would have scored you three points lost

Twice this lady uh Andre ledson Andre ledson lost to Theresa May and Boris Johnson that’s some record 14 points for her another lib Dem this is Simon Hughes Simon Hughes he lost twice as well lost to Charles Kennedy and Ming Campbell I don’t if you said it would have scored

You four points another lib Dem here but a pointless answer Norman lamb oh that’s what Norman lamb looks like to Tim faren that is what he looks like another pointless answer here for the SNP Rosanna Cunningham now we go uh nothing a all there now next to her David milleran

David mban beaten by his brother I mean you know yes pretty bad isn’t it uh 15 for David mband next to him also beaten twice in labor leadership election Andy Burnham Andy Burnham Andy burner would have scored you nine uh and beaten by Boris Johnson at the end there eser

McVey es McVey who would have scored you 13 uh thank you very much indeed Richard so at the end of our second round the people we have to say goodbye to oh I can’t bear it Patrick and Anthony that wasn’t your favorite round I’m guessing no no although Patrick I think I’m right

In saying yours was the lowest individual score of the whole round I’ll take that yeah I think it’s sad you’ll have to take it away though because we’ll talk about it when you’re back next time we’ll look forward to that very much me time thank you so much

Patrick and Anthony but for the remaining two pairs it is now time for the head to Head congratulations Toby and Fiona near and Josie you are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot which is currently standing at £4,000 yeah that’s really worth trying for I mean not that it isn’t always of course but that really is one you you would

Want to get into the final for uh Toby and Fiona we’ve had you here before didn’t really help being the golden couple on that occasion um Nia and josy have played a Blinder this time and uh it’s been uh yeah no surprise to see you in this final what do you think

Rich yeah F and Toby knocked out by one letter last time so uh so pointless does owe you but pointless doesn’t always pay its debts I would say it can be a mistress oh yeah there’s no Lannister yeah well obviously it’s the head-to-head which means from here on in
