00:00Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in.
00:27If it isn't another perfect audience for a brand new episode of Guy Montgomery's Guymon Spelling Bee. What a clever cat.
00:34I am your host Guy Montgomery and this is a show built on the idea that spelling words
00:39constitutes primetime entertainment. An opinion that I'm slowly convincing the nation of episode by episode.
00:46It's not just me telling you that though. To help me make my case tonight
00:49we have four of Australia's best comedians standing behind podiums
00:53anxiously waiting their turn to spell a word out loud for the first time since primary school.
00:58They'll be doing this over five rounds of varying credibility, all in the hopes of winning this.
01:04A one-way ticket to defend their hard-fought spelling crown in next week's episode.
01:14As the host of the show however, I feel it wouldn't be right if we only rewarded someone for spelling well.
01:20It is important to spotlight our most vulnerable members of society.
01:24So, at the end of the episode, the speller who has done the worst will get their moment in the sun as they are forced to
01:30relocate themselves to the dunce's corner to wear the dunce's hat.
01:39Every little bit helps. Now I've introduced what we're about to do,
01:43please let me introduce the people who will be doing it. Give it up for tonight's spellers, Will Anderson.
01:50Steph Tisdale.
01:54Demi Lardner.
01:57And the seemingly invincible Cameron James.
02:03And with that simultaneously succinct and irreverent introduction out of the way, there's only one thing left to do. Let's get spelling!
02:11People love to say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. How do I know that? Well, I'm a people, and that's something I love to say.
02:23In accordance with this mantra, I welcome you all to the mainstay of the show, the spelling round.
02:29In this round, our contestants will each get the opportunity to spell one word.
02:34And in a display of my magnanimous nature, they'll even get to choose how difficult that word is to spell.
02:40Words from the Coward's Cup are ridiculously easy to spell.
02:44Words that are near guaranteed to earn you a point and advertise your cowardice to the Australian television viewing public.
02:51Words from the person's purse are more difficult to spell but remain eminently gettable, assuming you're a person of moderate spelling ability.
02:59If you spell one of these words correctly, you'll get two points.
03:03Words from the Bucket of Bravery are so dense, with vowels and consonants, they can only be contained inside of this sturdy bucket.
03:10These are challenging words to spell for arrogant people, and if you get one of these bad boys right, you'll be rewarded with three points.
03:18And our first speller this evening is making his debut on the ABC, so please let's make him feel very welcome.
03:24It's Bill Anderton!
03:33Bill, you were looking pretty overwhelmed backstage by the whole experience.
03:39If you're feeling nervous, just know that me and all the contestants are here to support you.
03:43I appreciate that. I only really came on the show because I've heard that the ABC is importing people from New Zealand to replace me.
03:51What's your history with spelling like, Will?
03:53I have a complicated history with spelling. In Year 7, I had a crush on this girl at school and we were spelling in the round.
04:00So if you spelt them wrong, you got eliminated. We were only two seats over from each other.
04:05And as it went around, people got eliminated and we were close together when we were sitting next to each other.
04:10We were bonded together in this moment by spelling, and then she spelt the word wrong.
04:15And I realised that if I just spelled the next word wrong, I can go and sit with her again.
04:19But the next word was garage. It's tough to spell that wrong.
04:25I spelled it with a J at the end, and for the rest of high school, people were like, oh, you're holding that garage, are you?
04:33So you knew enough to throw spelling a word.
04:36Back in Year 7, but now I've had this traumatic moment. It's always been a bit of a touchy subject for me, spelling, ever since then.
04:42Wow.
04:43I can't even spell my own name correctly.
04:47Well, I'd like you to advertise how you're feeling about spelling right now by telling us which receipt call you'd like to spell for.
04:52I want to have a small amount of courage, so it's got to be the person's purse.
04:56All right. The person's purse it shall be.
04:59And your word is nemesis.
05:03Oh.
05:06What's the origin?
05:07Language of origin? Well, for you, right now, that's me.
05:14All right. Nemesis. N-E-M-E-S-I-S. Nemesis.
05:20That is correct.
05:23Well done, Will.
05:26And up next is a comedian, actor and published author, as seen on the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala Fisk and bookshelves around the nation, it's Steph Tisdale.
05:38Steph, they say that everyone has a book in them. Does it feel good to finally get yours out?
05:46Yeah. Yeah. It was far up. It's really in there. Yeah, a lot of me has come out with this book.
05:55I'll bet. And did you find, because you'd be putting a lot of words down on paper, did you find anything out about how you spell when you were doing that?
06:01I'm not going to lie. I'm a really good speller.
06:04Really?
06:05Yeah. I remember when I was in grade seven, every day we had to do a spelling test and I was always the one who got 30 out of 30.
06:13Holy friggin' moly.
06:17I legit thought that that sentence was going to be you going, when I was in grade seven, there was this absolute dumbass that could not spell garage.
06:27How dare you age me so, Demi. I'm a mere baby in comparison to Will.
06:37She's not wrong, dude. You're old.
06:42Hey, Will, what was the word you had to spell again? Nemesis.
06:47What's the plural of that?
06:49It would be nemeses, you dumb old man.
06:56Steph, that's incredible. I've got to say, people who are good at spelling can find this show incredibly frustrating.
07:05I'm a real nerd.
07:06I mean, that's awesome.
07:07All I'm saying is, give me that bucket.
07:09You want the bucket?
07:10I want the bucket.
07:11You don't understand.
07:14From the bucket, your word is narcissistic.
07:19Could you give me a definition?
07:21Thinking too highly of yourself. For example, putting your name in the title of a TV show three times instead of the normal two.
07:30I thought I was going to say, telling everyone how good you are at spelling.
07:34What about, can you use it in a sentence for me, please, Guy?
07:38When people are focused on themselves instead of Guy Montgomery, that seems pretty narcissistic to me.
07:46N-A-R-C-I-S-S-I-S-T-I-C.
07:52That is correct.
07:54Well done, Steph.
07:58Our third speller will be well known to our ABC television audience for her work streaming on Twitch and as a co-host of the BigSoftTitty.png podcast, it's Demi Lardner.
08:13Demi, you're very funny and you've got a lot of tattoos. Does that mean school was hard or easy for you?
08:20I don't have any misspelled tattoos. I do have misspelled tattoos.
08:24Actually, never mind.
08:27I just realised I do. I have a tattoo on my back that is misspelled, but intentionally.
08:31What does it say?
08:32It says, oh, Demi, shit.
08:39And then a dash in my dad's full name because it was a quote from him.
08:44So what word is misspelled?
08:46Shit.
08:48It's got five I's in it.
08:51As you pronounce it, it sounds like a perfect spelling to me.
08:54Do you remember spelling before you were getting tattoos?
08:56Not really. I was one of those kids that was like, I turned five and they were like, she can read.
09:01And I was like, nah, I just remember what you said.
09:05I coasted on that.
09:07And I'm about as smart now.
09:10So you're not feeling super confident. Next is someone like Steph who's come in and said, I got this.
09:14You're at the other end. You're saying.
09:16I'm really lucky, though.
09:18So I reckon I can pray for him.
09:21All right.
09:28From the bucket of bravery.
09:30Your word is whatchamacallit.
09:37How lucky are you?
09:40This is so tricky because I know.
09:42Oh, damn it. Oh, God damn it.
09:44Oh, no.
09:48I'm so upset.
09:49Please, language of origin at least first.
09:51Oh, you know.
09:59Was that helpful?
10:00Yeah, that was good, thanks.
10:01Definition?
10:02Yeah.

11:10most recent week of spelling success? It's been hectic. H-A-C-T-I-C. Incorrect.
11:20It's been a hectic week. It's been a rough guy, I'm not gonna lie to you. I've been,
11:26because I really fluked that last win. I was losing right up until the buzzer
11:30round, so I've been really training this week. I've been jogging around listening
11:34to songs about spelling, like R-E-S-P-E-C-T and A-B-C by Jackson 5. Just those two on
11:42loop. Well, I can't, I mean what do you make of
11:45this new COVID computer? This is a strong start.
11:47Very strong start. I was really convinced Demi was gonna lose on whatchamacallit there,
11:52so that's thrown me and my whole strategy's out. My strategy was based entirely on you
11:58losing. So, well what would you like to do now with
12:03this new information? You know, last time I swung for the fences
12:06with Bucket of Bravery and I failed miserably, but I think I need to swing again. I'm going
12:13for the bucket. Alright, the bucket of bravery. Cameron James
12:19and your word is Seismograph. Yeah. I was hoping it would be that one. There's
12:30no Aretha Franklin songs about that. It's on the B side.
12:37I feel like they're gonna f**k me with sighs. Sorry, you can't say f**k on the air can you?
12:41I feel like they're gonna sex me with fries. You didn't mean to say sighs. Someone's
12:51gonna sex you with some chips. Everyone shut up. Everyone shut up. And that
12:58includes you guys. And people at home. S-E-I-Z-M-O-G-R-A-P-H.
13:10That is incorrect. I'm so sorry. Seismograph spelt S-E-I-S. They didn't sex you with sighs.
13:18Oh they did. Yeah it's an S-I-M-O-G-R-A-P-H. No points can be awarded. I'm sorry Cam. And
13:26after our first round, what do you know, we've got Steph and Demi out in front on three
13:29points, Will on two and Cam on none. And while there's been no real punishment for any of
13:39your spelling misdemeanours so far, in this next round we won't be going so lightly.
13:48Spell the crime, do the time. For this round, in our studio, we have spared no expense in
13:53constructing a fully operational replica prison cell, guarded by a man who has just
13:58finished his police recruitment training program, Officer Aaron Che. Good evening officer.
14:16May the police force be with you. Good evening guy. Good evening, have you had a busy night
14:23on the beat there? Extremely busy, it's busy every night guy. Do you know what ACAB stands
14:30for? I do yeah, All Cops Are... Busy, exactly. Gonna hear a riddle? Yeah man, I would love
14:44to hear a riddle. Bad guys don't wanna see me, and people who close their eyes will never
14:54see me. What am I? The police. Yep. Good riddle Aaron. In this round, I'll be going down the
15:12line with a list of words relating to the little-known concept of crime. Spell the word
15:17correctly, you get a point. Make a mistake, you'll be arrested on the spot by Officer
15:22Chen, and sent to Spelling Jail for the rest of the round, while your contemporaries may
15:27continue to spell until they too are under arrest. The round will end when all of our
15:32spellers are in Spelling Jail. And for anyone worried about their safety, rest assured that
15:37we fitted Officer Chen with a body cam. You're a good cop aren't you Aaron? Definitely yes.
15:47And a police officer wouldn't lie about that kind of thing. Now we're all clear, let's
15:54get into it. Starting with you Will, Ned Kelly. Okay, N-E-D-K-E-L-L-Y, Ned Kelly. That is
16:06correct. Felony. F-E-L-O-N-Y. Correct. Pity. What? Pity. Like I'm sad for you? Oh, you're
16:18from New Zealand. That cat's out of the bag. It does change the context though, pity crime
16:35seems nice. Have you ever seen a cop that's looking really sad about his job, and you're
16:40like, alright I'll give you one, and then you jaywalk? P-E-T-T-Y. Correct. Delinquency.
16:54Excellent. D-E-L-I-N-Q-E-N-C-Y. Correct. Manslaughter. M-A-N-S-L-A-U-G-H-T-E-R. Correct.
17:22Bigamy. B-I-G-A-M-Y. Correct. Lawlessness. L-A-W-L-E-S-S-N-E-S-S. Correct. Stealing a
17:38pie from a windowsill. S-T-E-A-L-I-N-G-A-P-I-E-F-R-O-M-A-W-I-N-D-O-W-S-I, and then at this point there's an L.
18:06Let's make it a double L at the end, Guy. That is correct. A couple of L's. Embezzlement.
18:13I don't know. E-M-B-E...
18:22Just think about what you've been doing for the last few years.
18:24Embezzlement. Z-Z-E-L-M-E-N-T. In class.
18:40What? You're coming with me. Okay. I'm having a couple of flashbacks, to be honest.
18:48You ever been to Wagga Wagga?
18:54Embezzlement is spelt E-M-B-E-Z-Z-L-E-M-E-N-T. You're up next, Steph, with hooliganism.
19:08Correct. Perjury. P-U-R-J-O-O-R-Y. And if it's wrong, you have to tell me you're a cop.
19:19I'm a cop?
19:28What was it? What did I do? P-E-R-J-U-R-Y. Oh yeah, I got it wrong heaps.
19:35Let's go. Can I just say, it's gonna look **** for the ABC to arrest me.
19:49Throw the game camera. I'll do my best. Oh my god. Jeffrey Dahmer.
20:03J-E-F-F-R-E-Y-D-A-H-M-E-R. Correct. Who done it? W-H-O-T-U-N-N-I-T.
20:16That is correct. Fyodor Dostoevsky.
20:24F-Y-D-O-R-D-O-S-T-O-D-O-S-T-Y. After that.
20:37Aaron, arrest this man. E-V-S-K-Y. Just to make him stop saying letters.
20:46Incorrect. I want my phone call.
20:55You can open the door for me if you want. Very genial relationship.
21:00We used to hang out, we used to be in a gang. I'm kind of an inside man.
21:06Your next word is espionage. E-S-P-I-O-N-A-G-E. Correct. Trespassing. T-R-E-S-P-A-S-S-I-N-G.
21:21Correct. Premunery. P-R-E-M-U... I'm gonna go a bit crazy here and go I-N-A-R-Y.
21:31That is incorrect. I'm so sorry, Aaron. No, I'm sorry for the ABC's complaints department.
21:39I gotta say on camera, the ABC endorses this arrest.
21:48I don't want to do it, but the head, the CEO, they like it. They're also a Team Russia.
22:01Guys, can you make sure that body cam stays on? I've heard weird shit happen.
22:09All right, it just goes to show, misspelling words doesn't pay. At least I think that's the
22:14saying. While Aaron unlocks your cell and you all return to life as free citizens, I'll tell
22:19you what they've done to our scores. And would you take a look at that? We've now got Step Out
22:23in Front on nine points. Keep them all the way back.
22:33An incredible round of spell to try and do the time. I think we've all earned a drink.
22:42Drinks, the food of the liquid world. They're fun to consume, but difficult to spell. That's
22:48because from the moment you sit down, the waiter's already harassing you to order them. You barely
22:51get a moment to read the names of the darn things. In this round, our four spellers will
22:56be challenged to spell the names of some tantalising libations. And joining me is
23:01my drinks trolley boy, Aaron Chey. You know a lot about drinks, Aaron? I actually do.
23:13A lot of women refer to me as a tall drink of water. What do they call you there? I think
23:19they're being sarcastic and trying to piss me off. I see you've prepared some delicious drinks
23:26for us today. Yeah, I got a lot of drinks, guy. Yeah. This is an easy round. Our contestants pick
23:37a drink, then they spell the drink. These are all servings of one standard drink, so in turn,
23:42each will be valued at one standard point. With each drink, you may ask me for a definition,
23:47who the drink is for, or to have a little sip. And Cam, you're currently in last place,
23:54so you get to enjoy the first choice. Would you like drink A, B, C, or D? I feel like I've
23:59already had a few drinks, man. Can I go drink C? You've picked the glowing golden yellow of
24:08synthetic energy. One of my favourite types of drink in that its colouring is indistinguishable
24:13between going into and coming out of the body. In the last 20 years, we've seen an explosion of
24:21brands and varieties entering the energy drink market. But what does the make of this mystery
24:25energy drink? Well, I'll tell you, and it's an absolute monster of a word to spell. You'll be
24:31red in the face after all the bullying if you get this one wrong. But if you get it right,
24:36you might just be treated like a spelling rock star. You have chosen V.
24:51Do you still want the sip? Because it's quite a cumbersome trolley.
24:56I remember what it tastes like from when I drank it when I was 15 years old,
25:00and I'd like to have a crack at spelling it now if that's okay, guy. V.
25:04That is correct.
25:10Thank you. Very well done, Cam. Okay, moving along now to third place. Will,
25:17which drink would you like? A, B, or D? Well, I would guess that D is probably,
25:22I grew up in a dairy farm, so I'm guessing it might be milk, so I'm going to say D.
25:27You have chosen milk.
25:32A drink for growing children and adults who are definitely on some kind of list.
25:42But what actually is milk? Well, if you talk to any of the real milk heads, they'll tell you
25:47milk is ultimately just lacteal secretion, and your word is lacteal secretion. Now remember,
25:55you can ask who it's for, for the definition, or a sip. Can I have all three, please?
26:01Absolutely. Why don't we start with a sip?
26:09Feels like this is easier, right? I'm meant to bring it over to you.
26:13You're meant to bring it over to me? All right.
26:22It's just my one job and you kind of wanted to take it.
26:25But, no, you're right, it wouldn't make sense for me to bring all the drinks over. I could just
26:32bring, can I just bring Will's drink? It seems smart, yeah, absolutely. All right.
26:55All right. Don't cry over spilled milk.
27:04Here you are, Will. Thanks, thank you.
27:11Yum. I'll get out of your way.
27:13Oh, hang on, what was it? Oh, yeah, definition, please.
27:23The worst flavour of Big M.
27:27Lacteal secretion. Lacteal secretion.
27:31L-A-C-T-E-A-L-S-E-C-R-E-T-I-O-N. That is correct.
27:47Well done, Will. Demi, you're currently in second place. There are two drinks left,
27:51which would you like? I want B. Can I have B?
27:55You can have drink B. You've picked wine, known as vino, plonk, or in the case of this variant,
28:04white. One of the two big types. But judging by the way the studio lights hit that glass,
28:12it appears to have quite a deep colouring to it, an almost copper tinge.
28:16That must be a Gewürztraminer.
28:18Oh, no! A lovely drinking wine, and undeniably one of the last ones you'd want to spell.
28:24Your word is Gewürztraminer. Oh, no! You want a sip? Yeah. Right on. Are you sure about that?
28:34No, that's OK, Cheney, don't worry about it. It's OK, stay there, it's fine, it's fine.
28:37You've summoned it, Simon.
28:41It's it, Cheney, it's going to take longer if you bring both, so can you just bring mine?
28:45That's a great idea, Demi.
29:08That's kind of, it can drift a bit.
29:16Oh, thanks, I'm driving.
29:34You want to try spelling it?
29:35Yeah, OK, um, G-E-V-E-R-T-T-R-E-M-M-E-N-E.
29:46That is incorrect. I'm sorry. It is spelled G-E-W-U-R-Z-T-R-A-M-I-N-E-R.
29:55All right, well, with just one drink remaining, drink A,
29:59Steph, do you want to know about your drink?
30:01Yeah, tell me all about it.
30:02Well, you've picked bear, more specifically a wheat bear,
30:07a brewski of which I'm sure you're deeply familiar.
30:10We all know the slogan, Aussie kids are wheat bear kids.
30:17And as a good Aussie kid, I'm sure you'll know that not all wheat bears are alike.
30:21And this one specifically is a German style Hefeweizen.
30:26No, look, this is well known.
30:33I'm going to go...
30:34How's your confidence, Steph?
30:35I don't even drink, Cameron, OK?
30:37OK.
30:38Feeling really Hefeweizen.
30:42I'm going to go all out, all right?
30:43I'm going to go H-E-I-P-F-T-E-R-V-E-I-S-S-E-N.
30:53That is incorrect. I'm sorry.
30:56Hefeweizen, H-E-F-E-W-E-I-Z-E-N.
31:01You have so much confidence, your way sounded more right than his way.
31:06Well, it was wrong.
31:10Time for one person to have another drink.
31:12Drink in the side of that scoreboard.
31:13And after three rounds, Steph is still on top with nine points.
31:19Now that everyone in the studio is feeling appropriately hydrated,
31:22why don't we indulge in one of life's simple pleasures,
31:25the sound of music.
31:31Instruments. We use them in our life constantly.
31:34You might use a thermometer to tell the temperature,
31:36a clock to tell the time,
31:38or a telephone to give someone from Gen Z a fright.
31:41But did you know that some people,
31:44obsessed with wasting their lives away,
31:45have figured out how to use certain instruments to make music?
31:49Much to the chagrin of their parents.
31:52In this round, one such person is behind that curtain
31:55and they will play a custom commissioned B-themed song
31:58on four different instruments.
32:00One by one, you will take turns to hear the song being played
32:03and then spell the instrument that it is being played on.
32:06If the instrument is not readily identifiable to you,
32:08you may ask for the vibe of the instrument
32:11and what the instrument is a bit like.
32:15Cameron, you're up first.
32:17You ready to hear your instrument?
32:19Yeah, dude. I'm so ready. Let's do it.
32:21Let's do it.
32:30Oh, yeah.
32:35I think that's plenty. I think that's enough. Thank you.
32:38Do I get a point for naming the song?
32:40No.
32:40Oh, this isn't Spicks and Spacks?
32:44No.
32:46All right. Can I get what it's a bit like?
32:48It's a bit like an instrument made from kitchen implements.
32:53It's a bit like that.
32:55Yeah.
32:57I'll go with panpipe and I'll spell it P-A-N-P-I-P-E.
33:04Well, let's pull back that curtain
33:05and meet our famous instrument player and see how you did.
33:14Oh, sorry. You caught me playing the panpipe.
33:19And that spelling is correct.
33:21Oh, yeah.
33:24Sounded really good back there, dude.
33:26Thanks. I didn't know you were going to open the curtain.
33:30Yeah, you did look like you were caught off guard.
33:32Yeah. I was just practicing back there.
33:35So if I knew people were watching, I wouldn't have...
33:38I would have played something better.
33:44All right. Demi, are you ready?
33:46Yep.
33:46Are you musical?
33:47No.
33:48Fantastic.
33:49Let's hear what we've got.
33:59Whoa.
34:02How are you doing?
34:06Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
34:09Very abrupt.
34:13You got any idea what that might be?
34:16No.
34:16No?
34:18Does this sound like a drum?
34:20Please, can I have the vibe of it?
34:22It's got the vibe of a bongo that's just been through puberty.
34:27And it's not afraid to tell you about it.
34:29OK. And what's it a bit like?
34:32It's a bit like a chocolate biscuit who's open to having sex with anyone.
34:39OK. Yeah.
34:41OK.
34:41That's because I think I know. Is it like a...
34:46It's like, no, not poly, like pansexual.
34:49Pan is a pan. Is it a pan?
34:51Vibe again.
34:55P-A-N-P-I-P-E.
35:02You're going to get it.
35:03You're going to get it.
35:03You're going to get it.
35:04You're going to get it.
35:05You're going to get it.
35:06You're going to get it.
35:07You're going to get it.
35:07You're going to get it.
35:09You've made your guess.
35:10Let's see what we've got back there.
35:17What the hell, guy?
35:20I know we've intruded again.
35:21What are you working on there?
35:23Sorry if that sounded bad because it's actually my first time playing the timpani.
35:29The timpani, which is not what you spelled at all.
35:34Can you play it again now that we can see you?
35:35Again.
35:37I'll give you one note.
35:41Really good.
35:45Okay, we move on now to Stiff.
35:47Do you know anything about music?
35:50I sing really loudly all the time in my home so that my parents can sing with me.
35:55And do the parents sing with you?
35:56So much.
35:57And I teach them opera so they can sing opera.
35:59What operas can they sing?
36:04They do that all the time.
36:06Sounds like a ringtone.
36:09Well, let's see if Aaron's learned how to play a parrot singing opera.
36:15Well, Stiff, shall we hear?
36:16Let's do it.
36:17Let's do it.
36:25He's feeling himself back there.
36:29Thanks.
36:33You know what that was?
36:35That's Flutter the Bumblebee, right?
36:36The song.
36:37That is the song, yes.
36:39Sadly, that's worth nothing.
36:40Yeah, no.
36:41What's the vibe?
36:42I always think this instrument sounds like an English person complaining about the weather.
36:50What's it a bit like?
36:51It's a bit like the strong middle part of a language.
36:59Yeah, great.
37:01It's pretty abstract, but that's what it's a bit like.
37:04I'm going to guess bass clarinet and B-A-S-S-C-L-A-R-I-N-E-T.
37:13Well, let's find out.
37:16Guy, you've got to stop interrupting my practice sessions.
37:20I've been practicing the cor anglais.
37:24Oh, the cor anglais.
37:30Spelled C-O-R-A-N-G-L-A-I-S.
37:34And now we've got you here.
37:35Play it again, man.
37:38I've got to level with you.
37:40It's been a track the whole time.
37:43This instrument is broken.
37:45They said this is a rare instrument,
37:47and the only one that they could get in Australia was a broken one.
37:53Did they really say that?
37:54Yeah, but they said Channel 10 gets the real ones.
38:00Those commercial pigs!
38:04OK, well, Will, there's only one instrument left.
38:07What will our mystery musician be up to this time?
38:10Did you ever play music?
38:12No, no, no, I didn't really, no.
38:14Did you listen to music?
38:15I mean, I was a big cor anglais fan, so that last bit I loved.
38:21Yeah.
38:21But other than that, up until that point, I'd never enjoyed music.
38:28Until I heard Flight of the Bumblebee on the cor anglais.
38:32And then my heart started to sing in a way that I'd never really heard it before.
38:38It went straight to my cor.
38:40Based on that logic, that was the first time you've heard the cor anglais
38:43and you're immediately in love.
38:45In France.
38:46Wow.
38:47I'm going to dedicate my life to firstly raising money for the ABC to get a working one,
38:54and then learning how to play it to perform on New Year's Eve
38:58as I do Auld Lang Syne on the cor anglais.
39:02And the ratings are going to be up, up, up.
39:07Enough conversation, I hope for your sake he plays it again,
39:09but let's enjoy some music.
39:11OK.
39:12HE PLAYS THE COR ANGLAIS
39:14HE PLAYS THE COR ANGLAIS
39:16HE PLAYS THE COR ANGLAIS

39:24HE PLAYS THE COR ANGLAIS
39:27HE PLAYS THE COR ANGLAIS
39:29Thanks, Aaron.
39:33I think he's actually playing it this time.
39:38Do you know about that?
39:39Yeah, it's like it's being played on one of the villains from Doctor Who.
39:47I don't know.
39:48Is it a theremin?
39:50T-H-E-R-A-M-I-N
39:54Let's pull the curtain back and find out.
39:57Oh, my gosh, that is a theremin,
39:59but theremin is spelt T-H-E-R-E-M-I-N.
40:02Oh, no.
40:03I'm so sorry, Will.
40:04Oh, no.
40:05Good identifying, though.
40:06You sounded fantastic on that, Aaron.
40:08Can you play us a tune?
40:09HE PLAYS THE COR ANGLAIS

40:40And yes, Guy, that is an original.
40:42LAUGHTER
40:44Big thanks to our multi-instrumentalist, Aaron.
40:48Sorry we had to hide him behind the curtain during the playing.
40:50Well, let's take a look at our scores,
40:52and currently we have a three-way tie
40:54for second on five points.
40:56It's Will, Demi and Cam.
40:58And out in front on nine, it's Steg.
41:00CHEERING
41:02And haven't we had a big night out this evening.
41:04Put in and released from prison
41:06a round of cocktails and a trip to the orchestra.
41:08Who are we, white-collar criminals?
41:10I can't maintain this highfalutin lifestyle much longer,
41:12so let's dive into our final round.
41:20It is the buzz round.
41:23Named so after several failed experiments
41:25in which we tried the reverb round,
41:27the murmur round
41:29and the barely audible whisper round.
41:31But none of those rejected names
41:33capture the frenetic energy
41:35that this round is about to bring.
41:37And none of them reference the fact
41:39that in this round you all have buzzers.
41:41For this round, all words are eligible
41:43to spell to all players.
41:45I will run through a themed list of spelling words
41:47and if you think you know how to spell it,
41:49push that whisper... I'm sorry, I mean buzzer.
41:52Correct spelling is worth a point
41:54and incorrect spelling is worth a negative point.
41:56We stop when we are told from on high.
41:58Most points at the end of this round
42:00wins the episode.
42:02Well, there's three of you
42:04who are having a bit of a shocker tonight,
42:06so I'll give the power of choice to Demi.
42:08You can be the architect of your own triumph
42:10or demise by choosing from the following list.
42:12Would you like
42:14Olympics, cars, fashion
42:16or medieval?
42:18Ooh, medieval.
42:20I knew it.
42:22I just knew it.
42:26The stage is set.
42:28We spell until the spelling gods
42:30tell us to stop. Now let's get into it.

44:58CHEERING
45:00APPLAUSE
45:04And how about some applause for the world's greatest
45:06and indeed only multi-instrumentalist
45:08mixologist and police officer, Aaron Che.
45:10CHEERING
45:13It can't all be blue skies and bumblebees, though.
45:15It's very important to me that we spotlight
45:17the worst fella of the night.
45:19An ignoble and embarrassing honour
45:21that we shall bestow upon Cameron James.
45:23Let them ever so gently hear it
45:25as they migrate to the dunce's corner
45:27to wear the dunce's hat.
45:29APPLAUSE
45:31You can give him a little bit more.
45:33No, a little bit less.
45:35Yeah, that's it.
45:37Sit down.
45:39This is the worst day of my life.
45:42That's all we have time for.
45:44One more rapturous round of applause
45:46for tonight's brilliant contestants,
45:48Will Anderson, Steph Teasdale,
45:50Timmy Lardner and Cameron James.
45:52Be sure to join us in our next episode
45:54as Will takes on Tom Ballard,
45:56Luke McGregor and Nicky Britton.
45:58For now, though, you might as well call me
46:00Supply Montgomery, because my wife
46:02demands I come home right now.
46:04Goodnight!
