01:36Exactly.
01:37Quite interesting.
01:40I'm a monkey, apparently.
01:41That doesn't surprise.
01:42I am very smart.
01:44This is open to doubt.
01:45Did you write this yourself?
01:46This is open to doubt, isn't it?
01:48Have a lot of wonderful ideas, full of mischief.
01:51Like a baby, the monkey will clap into light at learning a new skill.
01:56He'll perform it over and over again until the skill is mastered.
01:59I've never mastered any skill.
02:01You could be anything from a magician to a head of state.
02:05Who wrote all this stuff?
02:07It's extraordinary, isn't it?
02:08But who have we got here?
02:10We've got Mark Murphy back again, doing well.
02:13How many times is this?
02:14This is number four.
02:15A scrabble expert, loves pub quizzes, rugby league, supports Wigan and has got a girlfriend
02:22called Rachel from Nashville, Tennessee.
02:24Is that right?
02:25Indeed, yeah.
02:26How did you manage to run into her then?
02:27I was over there last year and met her on a road trip.
02:31Went to the same party and she joined me on the rest of it.
02:34Good for you.
02:35And where is she now?
02:36She's in the audience.
02:37Oh, you've brought her back with you.
02:40I have.
02:41Brilliant.
02:42Well done.
02:43I like the look of that.
02:44And also we've got Cameron McClurg with us from Kilmores in Kilmarnock in Ayrshire.
02:49Welcome.
02:51He's quite a tough competitor, you know.
02:52Yes.
02:53And he's got a girlfriend from Nashville, something that we all want.
02:56Hobbies football refereeing, tennis and poker.
02:59And you're also wondering whether to start your own business or become a professional
03:04poker player.
03:05Yep.
03:06Huh?
03:07Which way is it going at the moment?
03:08Well, as I teach business management, I think I'm thinking more that the business
03:11one is more likely to happen.
03:13Yeah.
03:14Yeah.
03:15You're in a risky seat here.
03:16This is more difficult than poker.
03:17You've got to beat Mark Murphy.
03:19Let's welcome them both.
03:25And who have we got over there with Susie?
03:27We've got the great Michael Vaughan.
03:29Welcome.
03:34Now, Michael, this isn't the first time you've been sitting over there.
03:38So you're more experienced than I am.
03:39So you're going to have to hold my hand.
03:41You're going to have to hold the monkey's hand today.
03:44And Manchester born.
03:46That's right.
03:47And went off and played cricket for Yorkshire.
03:49That's right.
03:50How did that go down?
03:51My father's job took me to Sheffield when I was eight.
03:54Eight.
03:55I hate to say it to all Mancunians, but I kind of adopted Yorkshireman now.
04:00All right.
04:01And, of course, one of your outstanding achievements, one of your greatest triumphs really, was staunching
04:06that series of defeats by Australia by leading England to a great win in the ashes.
04:11Is that right?
04:12That's right.
04:132005.
04:14There's no leader or manager in football or captain in cricket that can do anything like that without good players.
04:19So I was fortunate to have a very, very strong set of players.
04:22Yeah.
04:23But that's exactly the sort of comment I would expect from a great leader.
04:26Generous to the team.
04:28Very important, I think.
04:29So, marvellous.
04:30Anyway, Mark, the incumbent, you're off.

09:42That's an excellent one.

11:23Sinners.
11:24Michael?
11:25Seniors.
11:26Right.
11:27Yeah, almost had nosiness, but we need another S, so seven was our best.
11:32All right.
11:33So with Mark in the lead at 25 to Cameron's 11, it's the first numbers game.
11:38And Mark, you're off.
11:40Go on.
11:41Two large and four small, please.
11:43Indeed.
11:44Thank you, Mark, to you big ones.
11:45Four small ones for the first numbers game this week.
11:47And they are five, one, three, and nine.
11:53And the large ones, 50, and 100.
11:56And the target, 592.
11:59592.
12:00And the target, 592.
12:01The target, 692.
12:02Are the targets given us?
12:03That's what we want you to know.
12:04And, you know, we love him as a engineer.
12:05And it's a good thing to hear right now.
12:06You're on the target, 692.
12:07And the target, 692.
12:08The target, 692.
12:09The target, 692.
12:10The target, 692.
12:11I mean, the target, 592.
12:12The target, 692.
12:13So, Mark, how did you do?
12:345-9-1.
12:355-9-1.
12:37Cameron?
12:375-9-1.
12:38Right.
12:39So, Mark, speak to Rachel.
12:425 plus 1 is 6.
12:44Yep.
12:45Times by 100.
12:46600.
12:47Minus 9.
12:48And 1 away.
12:495-9-1.
12:50And Cameron?
12:51Is that the same?
12:52Yep.
12:53Now then, Rachel, a nation turns its loving eyes to you.
12:57Can you do better?
12:58You could have said 100 plus 9, 109, times 5, 545.
13:07Add the 50, 595, and take the 3 for 592.
13:11Brilliant.
13:11Well done.
13:14So, we now turn to Michael.
13:17Michael, what have you been up to?
13:19What have you got to tell us?
13:20Well, talking of the Chinese New Year, I was in China last year, walking the Great Wall for
13:24my charity, Sheffield Children's Hospital.
13:26So, 23 of us set out, a lot of mums from school.
13:30The challenge was to raise £250,000 to buy a new neurosurgery sat-nav equipment for the
13:38surgeons in the hospital.
13:39And we achieved that.
13:40So, China's very fond in my heart.
13:42Brilliant.
13:43And how long did that take?
13:44Well, we didn't walk the whole wall.
13:46It's a ridiculous amount of miles long.
13:48But we walked for a week.
13:50So, we did about 120 miles over four or five days.
13:53And the legs were tired.
13:54We ate a lot of food that I honestly don't know what was going in my mouth.
13:58But it tasted okay.
13:59And we survived.
14:00And we raised all the money.
14:01So, it was a great achievement.
14:02And how many of you?
14:0323.
14:04And you led them?
14:06I wasn't at the front all the time, if I'm totally honest.
14:09But it was my idea.
14:11And we managed to drag along 23 people to China to achieve the target.
14:16And we had a lot of fun along the way as well.
14:18And we sampled a little bit of the red wine variety on the wall.
14:23It was called the Great Wall Red.
14:25I don't think it's going to win any awards.
14:28How wide is the wall?
14:30I mean, the renovated sections is pretty wide.
14:33You feel very secure on there.
14:34But the roof around the edges sections that haven't been renovated are quite scary.
14:39There's a lot of rough edges.
14:40You've got to have decent balance.
14:42And the old knees held up?
14:44The knee was okay.
14:46Yeah, it was more the head.
14:47The morning after the Great Wall Red, to be honest.
14:50Well, I think that's brilliant.
14:51Such a quarter of a million.
14:53Brilliant.
14:53I think it's worth a big round of applause.
14:58And our tea time teaser is three bits.
15:02And the clue, the cheese celebration didn't last very long.
15:06Welcome back.
15:22And the clue, the cheese celebration didn't last very long.
15:25And the answer, as you all know at home, briefest.
15:30Briefest.
15:30Now, Cameron, let us game.
15:34Off you go.
15:35Consonant, please, Rachel.
15:36Thank you, Cameron.

18:18Peace.
18:19Mark?
18:20Weepily.
18:21Weepily.
18:22I was just checking that.
18:23Yes, it is there as an adverb under weepy.
18:25So you can talk about something weepily.
18:27All right.
18:28Very good.
18:29Well done.
18:30Michael.
18:31Michael, have you two got anything special over there?
18:34No, I can't add to that.
18:36Because you're a big tweeter.
18:37Very good.
18:38You're a big tweeter, Michael, aren't you?
18:39I am a tweeter, yeah.
18:40That's fun in terms of getting, you know, language, isn't it?
18:44Condensing language into the 140 characters.
18:47Some language on there is not quite what you'd use on this show.
18:49No, I'm sure not.
18:50But nonetheless, I think you've got 200,000 followers, isn't it?
18:53It's the first time I've ever got to a double century.
18:57Well, I'm going to do a bit more research and I'll come back to you on that.
19:00In the meantime, what have we got here?
19:02Mark at 46 and Cameron at 25.

20:03Cameron, a risky seven, a risky seven, Mark, just a six, a six, all right, what's your six mark, a pad, all right, and Cameron,
20:25Fraped, what was that, Fraped, how are you spelling that, F-R-A-I-P-E-D, what a strange Scottish word is it, Cameron, I think it's using a social networking site, I'm sure I've came across it, not there, I'm afraid, it is, it's a great word, it doesn't sound like a dialect word, but not in, sorry, okay, so anything else, Michael, Susie, go on Susie, there is a seven there, a botanical one,
20:53Ray-fied, R-A-P-H-I-D-E, a needle-shaped crystal of calcium oxalate, which you'll find in clusters in the tissues of certain plants.
21:08I'll talk to my wife about that, she's the gardener, but Mark, it's a letters game, you're away.
21:15Constantly, Rachel.
21:16Thank you, Mark.
21:17X.
21:18And another.
21:21R.
21:22And another.
21:23W.
21:26A vowel, please.
21:28I.
21:29And another.
21:31O.
21:32And one more.
21:34U.
21:35A consonant.
21:37G.
21:39A consonant.
21:42D.
21:44And a vowel, please.
21:46And a final O.
21:49Here we go.
21:49Here we go.
21:53So, Mark.
22:21A five.
22:23Five.
22:24Five, and Cameron.
22:25Just four.
22:26A four.
22:27And your four would be?
22:28Good.
22:29Good, all right.
22:30Mark.
22:30A gourd.
22:31Good.
22:33Right.
22:33Michael and Susie, what have you got over there?
22:35We've got that.
22:36Yeah?
22:37We just had to stick with that.
22:38It was a nasty selection.
22:39A gourd.
22:41All right.
22:41Now, Susie, over to you for our origins of words section.
22:45Well, I was going to talk about money, because it's a fairly pedestrian word, but it's something
22:50we talk and think about every day.
22:51So, it's no surprising that English is just packed full of expressions that deal with it,
22:56and particularly slang terms, which we've taken from right across the world.
22:59From Spanish, we have De Niro's.
23:01We talk about Baksheesh, which is Persian.
23:03Gelt, which is German.
23:05We talk about having some Wonga, which is a Romany word.
23:08Shekels is Hebrew.
23:09And Mizuma, which is Yiddish.
23:11But money is also important if you don't have any.
23:15Skint comes from skinned.
23:17It's simply a variation on skinned.
23:19And brassic, as in I'm brassic, comes from rhyming slang, brassic lint, which is a type
23:24of medical dressing and is rhyming slang for skint.
23:27And to be broke comes simply from being financially ruined and broken.
23:30Perhaps going back to the cellar's wooden tables, which in medieval times were broken
23:34as a sign of bankruptcy.
23:36And can I throw one in?
23:37Yes.
23:37If you're in Queer Street.
23:39Yes.
23:39You're in Cary Street.
23:41Yes.
23:41Which is where the bankruptcy court was.
23:43Absolutely right.
23:44You'll find that Samuel Johnson.
23:45Good.
23:45So, Mark, you're running ahead at 57 to Cameron's 25.
23:48But, Cameron, your chance now to do a numbers game and over to Rachel.
23:53One large and five small, please.
23:55One large and five small.
23:56And this should be a piece of cake with all your mathematical poker skills, I'm sure.
24:00Thank you, Cameron.
24:01So, for this round, the five small are two, three, six, and four, and eight.
24:08And the large one, 25.
24:10And the target, 370.
24:13370.
24:13Okay.
24:14How dare you?
24:16Sound camera.
24:45370.
24:46Well done, and Mark?
24:48370, but not written down.
24:50Right, shall we have yours first then?
24:52Indeed.
24:5325 minus 4 is 21.
24:56Yep.
24:572 times 8 is 16.
24:592 times 8 is 16.
25:01Multiply those.
25:03Multiply them for 336.
25:06And I've gone completely wrong.
25:09Not easy.
25:10Cameron the poker player.
25:128 plus 6 is 14.
25:148 plus 6 is 14.
25:16Multiply by 25 is 350.
25:18It is indeed.
25:192 plus 3 is 5.
25:21Yep.
25:22Times 4 is 20.
25:23And add it on.
25:24Didn't even need to bluff.
25:25Well done, 370.
25:26Excellent.
25:27Well done.
25:28Well done.
25:29And that brings you up to 35 against Mark's still 57.
25:35And it's time for the Tea Time Teaser, which is Vice Call.
25:39And the clue, you'll know it's there if you've had your collar felt.
25:44And the answer?
25:45Clavicle.
25:46Clavicle.
25:47Clavicle.
25:48Clavicle.
25:49So, Mark, you're off for a letters game.
25:50Okay.

25:52Thank you, Mark.

26:02A.
26:03It's a vowel.

27:24Lloyds. Loads. Mark? Dollars. Dollars. You know all about dollars with your trips to Nashville. Susie?
27:33Well, we've got a six, but just a rather unusual one, which is Radula. R-A-D-U-L-A. Can't put the S on, unfortunately, but it's a zoological term.
27:41And it's a rasplacked structure of tiny teeth in a mollusk used for scraping food particles.
27:47Brilliant. Brilliant. So, Mark, 64. Cameron's 35.
27:52And, Cameron, it's your shout-on-a-leaders game.

29:07Hmm. Cameron? Boosted. Boosted. Yep. Good. Well done. Well done. Michael and Susie, what's happening over there?
29:17We have a seven as well. Yes. Bodegas. Wine shops in Spain. Sure. Yeah. I know all about them. So do I. Also, Stooged is also there for a nice seven. Stooged. Stooged. Yeah. I like goost. I like the sound of that.

31:17So, Cameron, you did well in the last numbers game and you're off again on a numbers game. So, discuss things with Rachel.
31:33One large and five small, please, again. One large and five small. Thank you, Cameron. And for the last numbers game, the selection is two. Another two. Ten. Six. Nine. And the large one. Seventy-five.
31:48Nine. And your target. Nine hundred and eighty-three. Nine-eighth-three.
31:53Nine-eighth-three.
32:23So, Cameron, how did we do? Nine-eighth-five. Nine-eighth-five. Mark?
32:30Nine-eighth-four. Right. So, I think that we turn to Mark first.
32:36Six divided by two is three. Yep.
32:39Plus ten. Plus ten. Thirteen.
32:42Times by seventy-five. Times seventy-five. Nine-seven-five.
32:45And plus nine. And plus nine. Nine-eighth-four. One away.
32:49And, Rachel, could you take us to the proper answer?
32:52Yep. If you say seventy-five plus six is eighty-one.
32:56Ten plus one of the twos is twelve.
32:59Times them together for nine-hundred and seventy-two.
33:03And add the nine and the remaining two.
33:06For nine-eighth-three.
33:07Well done. Well done.
33:12So, with the scores standing at seventy-six to Mark and forty-two to Cameron,

34:44So I thought I'd have a look and see what lies ahead in the air.
34:47I don't like the sound of this.
34:48I can get this open.
34:49This is your one.
34:50So it says, he who is nice to frogs and buys round in bar will be cured of all ills.

35:13Hello, Tiger.
35:18Don't give up the day job.
35:20Anyway, there we are.

35:27We have.
35:28And we're going to see you again tomorrow.
