00:00Hello, everybody. Welcome along to the final, a special final as well, because it's a final of a winner's week, a champion's week.
00:15We're going to find a champion of champions, and that person is going to walk away with a golden trophy, all of their very own.
00:23Let's meet the players who've been battling it out all week. They are Stephen Bailey.
00:27Hello.
00:28Ria Lina, Charlie Brooks, and Jon Topson.
00:35Hey, everybody. Jon and Ria, you've had two wins each this week.
00:41The truth is, if either of you were to win today, you would be our champion, which is a lot of pressure, Jon.
00:46It is. There's a point in it on the board, isn't there?
00:49There's a point in it, and it's Double Points Friday, so eight for a win.
00:51Ria, you were not particularly well yesterday. You're not particularly well today.
00:55Recovering, but yes.
00:56You're fighting. You're fighting on.
00:58Fighting on.
00:59But if people see you sitting back in your chair at any point, closing your eyes, you haven't lost the will to live.
01:03No.
01:04You're simply retaining energy.
01:05For that final answer smash.
01:06Exactly. Let's take a look at that leaderboard, actually, shall we?
01:09As Jon says, just a point in it.
01:1214 and 13.
01:13Eight points for a win, six for a second.
01:15So, as I say, if either of you win, you are our champion.
01:18Stephen, there is a world in which you could be our champion as well, with a win today.
01:21What world is that?
01:23Today could be your day.
01:24I'm going to turn it around.
01:25Do you know what, though?
01:26I've had a nice week.
01:28I've got to hang out with you again.
01:29And Ria.
01:30And I've got two new best friends.
01:32And I've found my daddy as well.
01:33Like, it's been a great week.
01:36It could be even greater if you win today.
01:38And, Charlie...
01:39Yeah.
01:39You cannot win the trophy.
01:40I can't win the trophy.
01:41But the trouble is for you, Stephen, dear Stephen, is that for you to win, I think I have to win these two.
01:48Which is highly unlikely at this point.
01:50Let's not go into too much detail about it, Charlie.
01:52Listen, a number of things would have to happen.
01:54Yes.
01:55But, Charlie, if you were to win today, you'd win a prize.
01:57The final prize of the week.
01:58OK.
01:59Our golden prizes today look a little bit like this.
02:01Oh.
02:02There is a golden suitcase.
02:04Ooh.
02:04The golden cocktail set.
02:06The golden watering can.
02:07The golden bread bin.
02:08And the golden salt and pepper shakers.
02:10Charlie, what would you go for?
02:11I would go for the suitcase.
02:13I'm going on holiday tomorrow.
02:14Thank goodness.
02:15Oh, perfect.
02:15I didn't escape it all.
02:16So I'd take that.
02:17Uh, John.
02:19Do you know, I might go with the suitcase to put my other prizes in.
02:23Oh.
02:24Ooh.
02:25That's a power move.
02:26That was a dig.
02:27That was...
02:27Sorry, it came off quite arrogant.
02:31I wonder in your head how that wasn't going to sound arrogant.
02:33No, listen, it's a power move.
02:34You've got to put the power moves on.
02:36Ria, what would you go for?
02:37You know, I gave Bryony May the salt and pepper shaker.
02:41Yeah.
02:41And she's done such wonderful things with it that I want some now myself.
02:44You want golden ones.
02:45I want golden ones.
02:47Uh, Stephen Bailey, what would you go for?
02:48I am definitely going to go for the suitcase.
02:52I'm not going on holiday.
02:53I don't have prizes to put in it.
02:55But I need a new suitcase.
02:57I mean, listen, if you want a new suitcase, a suitcase is the thing.
03:00Okay.
03:00Um, shall we play Friday's final on the House of Games?
03:04We're going to find out our champion.
03:06Who's it going to be?
03:06Our first round is...
03:08Highbrow, lowbrow.
03:13Stephen, we start with you.
03:14I'm going to ask you two questions.
03:15Yeah.
03:16Uh, both questions have the same answer.
03:17The first question is a highbrow one.
03:19You get two points if you get it from that.
03:20The second one, a lowbrow one.
03:22You get one point if you get it from that.
03:24Okay.
03:24You probably can guess what we're going to go for.
03:26Well, it's not your choice, really.
03:27Oh.
03:28You see both of them anyway.
03:29Okay.
03:29Oh, okay.
03:30Got it.
03:30Got it.
03:31Um, your highbrow question, Stephen, is this.
03:36Which great king of Wessex led the Saxons to victory over Danish invaders?
03:42You fancy a crack at that for two points?
03:44Do I just have to say, like, a name?
03:46Yeah.
03:47Richard.
03:48Richard.
03:49That's nice.
03:49Lovely name.
03:50Gorgeous name.
03:51Gorgeous name.
03:52Let's take a look at your lowbrow question,
03:53see if you want to stick with Richard or change it.
03:57In comic books, what's the first name of Bruce Wayne's butler?
04:01I actually know this.
04:02Alfred.
04:03Alfred.
04:04For a point.
04:05Here's correct.
04:06Well done.
04:07I told you I'd be lowbrow.
04:09That's okay.
04:10Everyone's lowbrow on this.
04:11Okay, great.
04:12I'm not telling tales out of school where I say we're very rarely highbrow.
04:15Ria, though.
04:16Yeah.
04:16Scientific knowledge, all sorts of things.
04:17You have a hinterland.
04:19So, maybe it's very useful for a highbrow question.
04:21Well, let's see.
04:22I mean, this was history, so let's see where we go.
04:25Ria, your highbrow question is this.
04:28Manchester University's 1948 small-scale experimental machine,
04:33the world's first stored-programmed computer,
04:35was affectionately known as the what?
04:38What would you affectionately call
04:40the first place you could store a computer program?
04:44I don't know.
04:44The bot.
04:45Did they have bot?
04:46Yeah.
04:47Let's go with the bot.
04:48The bot.
04:49You're saying.
04:49Very keen to know what lowbrow question would have the answer to the bot.
04:52Let's take a look at your lowbrow questions,
04:54see if you want to change your mind.
04:56In the Spice Girls,
04:57what is Emma Bunton's one-word nickname?
05:01Huh.
05:03Baby?
05:04Baby?
05:05Point to Ria.
05:06This is baby.
05:07The baby?
05:08The baby.
05:08The baby.
05:09The baby.
05:10That's what they called it.
05:11Charlie,
05:13a highbrow question for you.
05:14I'm definitely going to get this one.
05:15Go on, Charlie.
05:16Yes, come on, let's have it.
05:19Which US ornithologist wrote the comprehensive 1936 field guide,
05:23Birds of the West Indies?
05:26I don't know the answer.
05:28This is one of those quiz facts that maybe John knows, actually.
05:31I do know, yeah.
05:31Yeah.
05:32Let's take a look at your lowbrow question.
05:33Of course you do.
05:33Which fictional spy created by Ian Fleming
05:37has the code number 007?
05:40James Bond.
05:41James Bond is the answer.
05:43And named after that...
05:46Yeah.
05:46He saw...
05:47He was in the West Indies, Fleming,
05:49and he saw the book,
05:50because he was a birdwatcher.
05:51Yeah.
05:52And he went,
05:52that's the name of my character.
05:53He had it in his...
05:54Is that a true story?
05:55That's a true story.
05:56John, one for you.
05:58I'm sorry you knew somebody else's highbrow question.
06:00Here's your highbrow question.
06:01What is the surname of the Italian architect
06:05who designed the Shard?
06:08I don't know.
06:09I don't know.
06:10Fancy any sort of word?
06:12Er, Valetti.
06:14Valetti.
06:15Valetti.
06:16Love that.
06:16Nice.
06:17Lovely name.
06:18Your second question is...
06:21One played piano.
06:28And the other one,
06:31I can't think what he...
06:33Guitar, is it?
06:34I'm trying to think.
06:35I think one...
06:36Well, it won't be guitar.
06:37Piano.
06:38Going to go piano?
06:39Yeah.
06:40Point for you, John.
06:41Well done.
06:42Renzo piano is the architect of the Shard.
06:44I can't think what day...
06:45This was Dave's guitar.
06:47Bass.
06:47A bass player.
06:48Yeah, Mick the Stick on drums.
06:50Yeah.
06:50Ain't No Pleasing You,
06:51one of the great lost pop songs of the 20th century.
06:53Very good.
06:54Chas and Dave.
06:54Stephen, I have another highbrow...
06:56Yeah, that's the way we're going to do it.
06:58A highbrow question for you.
07:02What was the first name of the US poet born in 1885
07:05who wrote homage to Sextus Propertius?
07:09It's another one where you just say,
07:10what's her name?
07:11Diane.
07:13Diane you're going for.
07:14Let's see if that's also the answer to this lowbrow question.
07:18What is the surname of the singer
07:19who has had UK hits with Budapest and Shotgun?
07:22I have no idea.
07:27There's a point up for grabs for anyone else
07:29if Stephen bails out.
07:31Oh, I even have this song on my playlist, but...
07:35Who sung it?
07:36Who sung it?
07:38Oh.
07:38Oh, he's, um...
07:40Oh.
07:40What is the surname of the...
07:42Shall we time you out, Stephen?
07:44Stephen Bailey is bailing.
07:47Bailey's bailing.
07:48We'll time you out.
07:49Stinges on buzzers, anyone else?
07:50John.
07:51Ezra.
07:51Ezra.
07:52That was a steal.
07:53George, Ezra and Ezra Pound, absolutely.
07:56Ezra is the answer.
07:58An extra point there to John.
07:59Ria.
08:00Here's your highbrow question, Ria.
08:01A burlesque of contemporary historical narratives,
08:05Washington Irving's 1809 satirical History of New York
08:08was originally published under what pseudonym?
08:12Um, George...
08:14Don't say Ezra.
08:18Washington.
08:19George Washington?
08:20Yeah.
08:20OK.
08:21No.
08:21Let's see your lowbrow question.
08:22Not going to be that.
08:24Popular in the UK, the layered ice cream sundae served in a tall glass is known as a what glory?
08:32Morning?
08:33Morning glory?
08:34Sounds like it isn't.
08:35I'm guessing it's not.
08:37It feels like it's not.
08:38Stephen, you have buzzed in.
08:39Oh, I have.
08:41Nickerbocker.
08:42Nickerbocker glory is what we're looking for in Nickerbocker.
08:44Oh, yeah.
08:46Nickerbocker is fun.
08:47You don't have to say Nickerbocker, do you?
08:48Nickerbocker glory.
08:49It's fun.
08:50Charlie, a highbrow question for you.
08:52The name of which region in the Low Countries is also the surname of Moll, the title character
09:02of a 1722 Daniel Defoe novel?
09:05The name of Flanders.
09:10Flanders, you're going to go with.
09:12Let's take a look at your lowbrow question, see if you want to stick with it.
09:14In the Simpsons, what's the surname of Homer's neighbour, Ned?
09:20Flanders.
09:21Flanders.
09:22Don't look so surprised on the end.
09:24Two points for Charlie Brooks on Charlie Flanders.
09:29We've got one, gang.
09:30We've got one.
09:32Well played, Charlie.
09:33And John, to round off this first round on Friday's House of Games Champions Week,
09:38your highbrow question is this.
09:40What was the surname of Francis Viscount St Albans, who served as Lord Chancellor in
09:46the early 17th century?
09:50I think, I'm thinking Chichester.
09:53Chichester?
09:54Yeah.
09:54You're going to say?
09:55Yeah.
09:55Chichester, says John.
09:56Let's see your lowbrow question.
09:59What is the name of the character played by Jason Statham in Lockstock and Two Smoking Barrels?
10:06Oh.
10:08It's a one-word name.
10:10We're in Chichester.
10:12I don't know.
10:13You don't know?
10:14No, I don't know.
10:15Anyone fancy buzzing in on that?
10:17Do we lose the point?
10:19No.
10:20It's reassuring that no one knows.
10:22Yeah, Stephen.
10:23Stitches.
10:25Is it Stitches?
10:26Francis Stitches.
10:28Oh, I forgot about that bit.
10:31Frankie Stitches.
10:32I'm afraid.
10:33Have you got this at home?
10:34Stumped us here in the studio.
10:36Shall we find out?
10:37The answer to both those questions is?
10:41Bacon.
10:41Oh, no.
10:42Oh, nearly.
10:43No.
10:43Oh, Francis Bacon.
10:45Oh, Francis Bacon.
10:46And he was called Bacon in Lockstock.
10:48Interesting.
10:49Well, very well done if you said that at home.
10:50It's the end of our first round here.
10:52Our leaderboard currently looks like this.
10:55Everybody is off the mark today.
10:57I bet Charlie's ahead.
10:58Charlie's ahead, isn't she?
10:59Yeah.
11:00Rhea, you have one.
11:02Stephen and John, two.
11:03Charlie Brooks.
11:04Our leader with three.
11:06Well played, Charlie.
11:07It's all beginning to come together, Stephen, isn't it?
11:09Yeah.
11:09My premonition was a day early.
11:11Oh, I think it was two days early, but yeah, I hear you.
11:13Yeah.
11:14Let's play our final pairs game of the week, shall we?
11:17It is...
11:18Pokes Emoji.
11:23Rhea, you find yourself in last place today for the first time.
11:25I do.
11:26Who would you like to play with?
11:28I'm going to pick Stephen.
11:29We haven't played together yet, have we?
11:30Don't think so.
11:31Let's do it.
11:31And I trust how you express yourself in emojis.
11:35Stephen and Rhea are a team.
11:36Charlie and John are a team.
11:37Now, before the show, you all had to send me some emojis,
11:40which represent a film from the 2010s, OK?
11:42So we're looking for a film from that decade.
11:44Stephen, before the show, Rhea sent me the name of a film
11:48using just the medium of emojis.
11:51Oh, God, this.
11:51OK.
11:52And you now need to work out what it is.
11:54Are you slightly frightened here?
11:56I'm scared of letting Rhea down.
11:58Yes, exactly, because it's a big day.
11:59And because she's won so much,
12:02and I don't want to be the one to drag her down to the lowbrow.
12:04Stephen.
12:05I don't mind.
12:05You will never...
12:06Yeah, John.
12:07Oh, I should have gone with John, no matter what.
12:08Should I? Strategically, I should have picked you.
12:11Maybe so.
12:12Tied my fate to yours.
12:14So, Rhea sent me these emojis.
12:15Which 2010s film is she hinting at here?
12:22Got it.
12:24Thor.
12:25Is it Thor?
12:26I love you.
12:27Well done, Thor.
12:29That all for you to make me get, I got that wrong.
12:31That's really good.
12:33Well done.
12:33A superhero and a hammer.
12:34Yeah.
12:35Who else could it be?
12:35I guess I didn't work it out.
12:37It's the hammer I got.
12:38Yeah.
12:39Well played, Rhea.
12:40Well played, Stephen.
12:41Good teamwork there.
12:42John, before the show, Charlie Brooks sent me the name of a 2010s film.
12:47Charlie looks scared.
12:48Using just emojis.
12:50She is our current leader.
12:51Nice time to get another point.
12:53Which 2010s film is this?
13:00Oh.
13:01Oh, yeah.
13:01Wolf of Wall Street.
13:02Wolf of Wall Street.
13:02Yeah.
13:03Well done.
13:03Nice.
13:04I mean, that's no mucking about there, is it?
13:08Very good.
13:09A wolf.
13:10And that's a wall.
13:11It's a wall.
13:12Bit of a wall.
13:12Smash that.
13:13Lovely.
13:14And then the rest of it.
13:14Great work.
13:15Great work.
13:16Well done.
13:16Wolf of Wall Street.
13:17Well done if you got that at home as well.
13:19Rhea, Stephen sent me the name of a 2010s film.
13:23Why are you smiling like that?
13:25Because I think it's obvious.
13:27Oh, no.
13:27But also, he's slightly in awe of you.
13:30And he doesn't want to disappoint you.
13:31Correct.
13:32I think is the key.
13:33No one's letting anyone down.
13:35Let's take a look at the emojis.
13:37Which 2010s film is this?
13:38So, I'm seeing a waffle.
13:54Yeah.
13:54Which could be a breakfast.
13:56I'm seeing a shirt.
13:58And a grandmother.
14:00Yeah, that's what I'm seeing.
14:02A shirt and a grandmother.
14:03Have you got this at home?
14:04Waffle shirt.
14:06Waffle blouse.
14:08Clothing.
14:10Have you guys got it on that team?
14:11No.
14:11No.
14:12Is it all?
14:13Richard, are you in a ballpark?
14:14I have not got it.
14:15I have not got it.
14:16I'm looking forward to hearing what it is.
14:17I'm looking forward to it.
14:20Shall we time you out, Rhea?
14:22I think you're going to have to.
14:24So, Stephen, we haven't got it.
14:26I wonder if you could talk us through your thinking
14:27and then reveal the answer.
14:29Yes.
14:29Okay.
14:30So, I needed an iron.
14:33But there wasn't an emoji for an iron.
14:36Mm.
14:36But there was, like, a waffle iron.
14:41Yeah.
14:42And then I thought, then they need to know,
14:44it's not for waffles, it's for clothes.
14:47So, a waffle iron, because you need to iron your clothes,
14:51and that is a lady, that's an older lady.
14:54The iron lady.
14:54Because it's the iron lady.
14:56The iron lady.
14:57But to be fair to me, there isn't...
15:00Do you know what?
15:01It turns out you could let Rhea down.
15:02I didn't know.
15:03I didn't think you would be able to.
15:04But to be fair to me, there is not an iron emoji.
15:07I can't believe that.
15:08Listen, at home, if you got the iron lady...
15:11That's hard.
15:11Very well done if you did.
15:13Charlie, before the show,
15:15John sent me some emojis,
15:17which should represent the 2010s film.
15:19But which film?
15:20Oh, nice.
15:25Really nice.
15:26Really nice.
15:27Life of pie.
15:29The life of pie.
15:30Well played.
15:30Absolutely right.
15:32Can we just...
15:33You could have had the lady,
15:35you could have had milk with a line through it,
15:38you could have had coal miners, like, striking.
15:41There were so many other ways you could have done
15:42iron lady an emoji.
15:45Sangry.
15:45I did let her down, didn't I?
15:47I told you.
15:49Well done.
15:50And life of pie.
15:51I mean, that's the plot, essentially, of life of pie.
15:53If you're absolutely confused,
15:54that essentially is what happens in that film,
15:56in a funny kind of way.
15:57Well played, everyone.
15:58That was a lot of fun.
15:59I loved the iron lady.
16:01That is fun.
16:01We always have to have one that's incomprehensible.
16:04And I have one.
16:05Yeah, I appreciate it.
16:06Or as it's now known, waffle shirt grandma.
16:11Oh, waffle shirt grandma in theatres now.
16:14That's the end of that round.
16:16Let's take a look at what it's done to the scores.
16:18So, Ria, yesterday's leader, still in fourth there with two.
16:23Stephen, you've got three.
16:24John, four.
16:25Charlie Brooks stood out in the lead with five.
16:26It's a miracle.
16:28Yeah.
16:29Three rounds to go.
16:30Can she do it?
16:31Can she win a daily prize?
16:32Let's find out, shall we?
16:33Round three is...
16:37It's all in the name.
16:39Fingers on buzzers, please.
16:40All the answers in this round are based on the letters of your names.
16:43Okay?
16:43If you buzz in and give me a correct answer, you score a point,
16:45unless it's based on your name, in which case you score two points.
16:48And the first two, Stephen, are based around the letters of your name,
16:51Stephen Bailey.
16:52So, one point for anyone, but two for Stephen, if you can answer this.

17:03Yes, Ria.
17:04Ainsley.

18:07Lara.
18:07What do you, John?
18:10Charlie.
18:11The next two are in the letters of your name, Charlie Brooks.
18:14Your first clue is this.
18:23That's John.

19:30Very nicely done.
19:32That could be all important when we give away the trophy very, very shortly.
19:37We have two rounds to go before someone's winning that golden monstrosity right there.
19:42Who is it going to be?
19:43Let's look at the leaderboards.

19:56Our fourth round today is going to be...
20:01Richard's Junk.
20:03I'm going to show you a picture of my junk and make you stare at it for 15 seconds.
20:06So, I don't know why you're laughing.
20:07Dreams do.
20:08Okay.
20:09So, a series of objects are going to appear on the board.
20:12I'll tell you what they are as well.
20:13You'll have 15 seconds to look at them and memorise them because they're all going to be the answers in the round coming up.
20:18So, the junk today is this.
20:22So, try and remember as many of these things as you can.
20:24There is a grandfather clock, a hairpin, a pike, diamonds, whip, salad bowl, footstool, an axe, a dart and a sponge.

21:16It won't be...
21:17It can't be hairpin.
21:18I can't think of the other ones now.
21:21Footstool.
21:23Footstool.
21:23It can't be hairpin, so I'm going to go footstool.
21:34Oh, God.
21:35You know this one at home?
21:36He was one of the very minor characters, and it was Private Sponge.
21:39Oh, really?

24:23It's a procession for John Thompson, and it is...
24:27Answer smash.
24:29Lovely week.
24:30Thank you all so much.
24:31Fingers on buzzers.
24:31Point for a correct answer.
24:32Point off for an incorrect answer.
24:34You would have to lose a lot of points here, John, to not go home with the trophy.
24:37Your first category is...

24:42Now we're talking.
24:44Those will be the pictures.

25:39The album?
25:39No.
25:40Yeah, that's the problem.
25:41Equipment is.
25:41Because I thought steam, and it's not a steam one, it's...
25:44So, let's find out, shall we?
25:46Road roller?
25:47It is a road roller.
25:49There you go.

25:52They were back in the day.
25:53So, that's just a road roller.
25:54So, I'm presuming it's an Abbey Diesel road roller.
25:57I guess so.
25:59Abbey road roller.
25:59Well done if you've got that at home.

26:46That's what we were looking for.
26:47Who's Stella Graham?

26:50That might be one of my mum's mates.
26:51It's your mum's mate.
26:54Oh, I love that.
26:55She's a comedian.
26:55She's a colleague.
26:56It's my mum's friend.
26:57OK, for you.
26:58Heather Graham Norton's Heather Graham Norton.
27:01Next category.

27:19Well done, John.
27:21Oh, I'm thrilled.
