00:00:30One hour's time, another unmissable Saturday night here on ITV1 with more X Factor at ten past eight.
00:00:36First, with another classic game show, it's Anton Tech.
00:01:00Two, two, three, four, five, six, three, four, five, six, four, five, six, seven, one, six, seven, one, six...
00:01:14Celebrating 50 years of ITV's finest game shows, this is the Game Show Marathon.
00:01:21And now, they're good, but they're not right.
00:01:24Please welcome your hosts, Ant and Dex!
00:01:28Thank you!
00:01:34Thank you!
00:01:38Thank you!
00:01:46Hang on! Hang on!
00:01:48Stop!
00:01:50We don't deserve it!
00:01:52Hello and welcome to Wishforce of Gameshow Marathon.
00:01:57Every Saturday night, we're bringing you a different game show,
00:02:00all played by our team of star contestants
00:02:02who are raising money for their chosen charities.
00:02:05Last week, Bill Roach won the golden shot
00:02:07and a place in our second semi-final,
00:02:09where he'll be joined by tonight's winner.
00:02:11And this is the last chance to grab a semi-final spot.
00:02:14At the end of the show,
00:02:16we'll say goodbye to two of our star contestants forever.
00:02:22It's really, really sad.
00:02:24Oh, hey, hey, I've been meaning to ask you.
00:02:26Yes?
00:02:27Have you heard about that bug going around?
00:02:28I have, yes.
00:02:29Here's some of the crew being struck down by it.
00:02:31Are you feeling all right?
00:02:32I'm feeling all right.
00:02:33I feel super smashing great, me.
00:02:34It's no problem.
00:02:35What?
00:02:36Oh, you've got it.
00:02:37You've got it.
00:02:38You've got in court game show itis.
00:02:40You're kidding me.
00:02:42No, no, no.
00:02:43You see, I thought I might have it,
00:02:44but I asked a hundred people and our survey said...
00:02:48So I have it.
00:02:49Oh, no.
00:02:50Oh, no.
00:02:51This is serious.
00:02:52This is serious.
00:02:53You've got all the symptoms.
00:02:55Well, let's just test.
00:02:56Take a walk over there, will you?
00:02:57Over here?
00:02:58Yeah.
00:03:00Oh, no, no.
00:03:01That's the Brucey Shuffle.
00:03:03You've got game show itis.
00:03:06And do you know what the worst thing is?
00:03:07What?
00:03:08Once infected, you've got it for life.
00:03:10Life is the name of the game.
00:03:15You've got it.
00:03:16Did you...
00:03:17Did you hear that?
00:03:18And I'll level with you here.
00:03:19Hmm?
00:03:20I'm scared.
00:03:21I'm scared.
00:03:22I don't want game show itis.
00:03:23I want to get better.
00:03:24Can I get better?
00:03:25Well, there's no getting rid of it, you see.
00:03:27You've got to see it through to the end.
00:03:29Well, what will happen to me?
00:03:30Well, you've got the walk.
00:03:32You've got the catchphrases.
00:03:33The next stage is marrying one of the hostesses.
00:03:37Well, actually, that doesn't sound too bad, if I'm honest.
00:03:43Only one of them is available.
00:03:45Oh, really?
00:03:46Which one?
00:03:47Me!
00:03:48Me!
00:03:49Me!
00:03:50Me!
00:03:51Me!
00:03:52Well, beggars can't be choosers.
00:03:55I don't mind.
00:03:56Well, beggars can't be choosers.
00:03:57I don't mind.
00:03:58Now, last week, Bill Roach won some fantastic prizes, including a holiday in South Africa,
00:04:06for Tony Wei.
00:04:07And she's here tonight.
00:04:08Hi, Tony.
00:04:09Hi, Tony.
00:04:10There she is.
00:04:11Well done.
00:04:12One of you could be winning some great prizes, including a brand new car, if you can answer
00:04:16this question.
00:04:17What was the booby prize in 321?
00:04:20A, dusty bin, B, dusty kettle, or C, dusty shop?
00:04:24Call 09012 930 940 and follow instructions on the line.
00:04:30Calls cost a pound.
00:04:31Or text your answer, A, B or C, to 6337.
00:04:35Texts cost a pound plus three messages at standard rate.
00:04:38Lines close at 10pm and players must be 18 or over.
00:04:42Is everybody ready for the fourth game show of the marathon?
00:04:45Yeah!
00:04:46All right, then.
00:04:47We'll give you a few clues.
00:04:49Now, this game show was all about buying stuff at knockdown prices.
00:04:53It was the quiz of the week.
00:04:55And it was hosted by Nicholas Parsons.
00:04:57Yes, that's right.
00:04:58Tonight's game show is...
00:05:00Serial of the Century!
00:05:03Look around.
00:05:04We've got it all.
00:05:05We've got everything.
00:05:06And you'll find everything here is an exact replica of the original set.
00:05:24The only difference is, tonight, we're not Norwich.
00:05:26Of course, we're here in London, so we're almost ready to play.
00:05:29But first, here's why Sale of the Century was one of the most popular game shows of the 70s and 80s.
00:05:35It satisfied the nation's love of shopping.
00:05:37Living room suites.
00:05:38A briefcase.
00:05:39Wrist watches that you wouldn't be seen dead in.
00:05:42It's tricky questions, baffled contestants.
00:05:44What colour is malachite?
00:05:46It's dumb.
00:05:47And it brought us TV's most intelligent host.
00:05:50Nicholas Parsons, a legend.
00:05:52The Sale of the Century, Britain's brainiest game show.
00:05:55Yes, a perfect description.
00:05:57From Norwich.
00:05:58Actually, I, with John Benson, who did the voiceover, we thought of that particular introductory gimmick, as you might call it.
00:06:05From Norwich.
00:06:07Why would they sort of, like, big Norwich up?
00:06:10It's like, whoa, we are the showbiz capital of the world!
00:06:14I like Norwich.
00:06:15It's very nice.
00:06:16And I'm glad something's come from it.
00:06:17It's the quiz of the week.
00:06:18It's a simple format for a show.
00:06:20You know, you answer questions, you've got points, the points mind up.
00:06:23And then whoever has the most points at the end of it goes through to this huge sale.
00:06:28Come with me to the Sale of the Century with your £95.
00:06:33I thought Nicholas Parsons did a really good job, but, I mean, frequently he would forget people's names and things.
00:06:37I mean, it was a lot of pressure and it was done as live.
00:06:39There was no chance for an edit.
00:06:40She teaches remedial reading to infants, and her name is Jackie Davis.
00:06:46I did fluff.
00:06:48Somebody said, what's the matter?
00:06:49Is he losing his grip or something?
00:06:51No.
00:06:52Do you think she did the right thing there?
00:06:54Yes.
00:06:55You could say something, you know.
00:06:56He was quite school-masterly, and even sitting at home, I just felt you had to behave while you were watching him.
00:07:03Can you speak a bit louder, Mike?
00:07:04Imagine getting a ruler and wrapping him out of the knuckles with it.
00:07:07And so, if you three are all ready, here is the first question.
00:07:10What do you think of Einstein's theory on relativity?
00:07:13Well, I don't know, I'm better.
00:07:16Whereabouts does a fish have its dorsal fin, Robert?
00:07:20On the side of its head.
00:07:22Stop it going through the water.
00:07:25Whenever someone actually got a question wrong on sale of the century, Nicholas would actually
00:07:29look at them and go, no, I'm afraid it was such and such.
00:07:33And we all knew that.
00:07:35Yes, Nicholas, because you've got the card.
00:07:37No, Bertha, it's the brake.
00:07:41Didn't drive much.
00:07:43In comparison with some of the question masters on some shows you have today, I mean, I was gentleness itself.
00:07:50Nicholas Parsons brought all the questions himself, often getting through more than a hundred per show.
00:07:54Nicholas was great getting all the questions out. It's like, question, question, question, question.
00:07:58With which country do we associate the drink perno?
00:08:00And he pushes them, and he pushes them to help them.
00:08:02And I think he made that show work very well indeed.
00:08:05Which, and there go the chimes again.
00:08:07Instant sales were brought on to tempt the contestants to spend their hard-earned cash.
00:08:12Who will be tempted? Will they part with some of their money? Will they save it for the sake of the century?
00:08:16These were aspirational items that people wanted in their own homes.
00:08:20One of the prizes, they went, look, here we have...
00:08:22For only £3.65, including 50...
00:08:25It's four car tyres.
00:08:27One time they had some fishing gear on, which is quite a little bit bizarre.
00:08:33This fishing equipment includes two rods to hold all.
00:08:36They were trying to gee people up and whip them into this, like, hysterical frenzy.
00:08:39Oh, I must have a fishing rod.
00:08:41Go out and buy one if you want a fishing rod.
00:08:43That's all I've got to like.
00:08:45Your rod was complete without the glamorous assistant to show it off.
00:08:48That was very much of the role of women of that time on television,
00:08:52was to keep your hair shut and look gorgeous.
00:08:55Sophie is a birdie to watch.
00:08:58You have turned that temptation down, all right?
00:09:01Really, the idea was to accrue as much money as you could
00:09:03and go through to the sale of the century,
00:09:05where you might even end up buying a car.
00:09:07It was quite bizarre at the end of sale of the century,
00:09:10you know, when Nicholas used to take them by the hand
00:09:12into this giant sale room.
00:09:15That is the only show on TV that actually rubbed your nose in it.
00:09:18Tonight, we're going to offer it for £52.90.
00:09:22Oh, no, you can't buy that, all right.
00:09:24So that's sale of the century.
00:09:26Brains, bargains, and Britain's bossiest host.
00:09:30From all of us here, goodbye.
00:09:34Love it. Love it.
00:09:36Now then, last week's game show was the exciting,
00:09:39but potentially lethal golden shot.
00:09:42After the show, it was all rivalry, name-calling, and arguments.
00:09:45And that was just me and him.
00:09:47It's just us.
00:09:48Here's what star contestants felt after the golden shot.
00:09:51Your time starts now.
00:09:53Stop! Fire!
00:09:55Vernon looked as if he had lined up that bullseye.
00:09:58It's a miss!
00:10:00I think the cameraman had had a shandy.
00:10:02What happened there?
00:10:03It's a fix!
00:10:05Were there tears in Vernon's eyes when he lost?
00:10:07Because I think he was devastating.
00:10:09There's knobs here, there's buttons there.
00:10:12No wonder things go wrong.
00:10:14He hit the button too early or something,
00:10:17but part of it, didn't he?
00:10:19I just touched the thing and it went off!
00:10:21There's not a competitive bone in my body.
00:10:23You didn't tell me that was the fire button!
00:10:26I got a bar for rifle-ray at girls' camp.
00:10:31So I'm not surprised I did well,
00:10:33but I should have done better.
00:10:3476!
00:10:35Oh!
00:10:36Ruby did very well,
00:10:38which shows you how far the sights were off.
00:10:40I got beaten by Ruby Wax, what more can I say?
00:10:43Oh!
00:10:45Shooting a crossbow with many people shouting at you
00:10:48is too much pressure for me.
00:10:50Tough.
00:10:52Tough.
00:10:53I won't.
00:10:56Sale of the Century!
00:10:57I'm going to go to the Sale of the Century University all week
00:11:00and I'm going to study, study, study.
00:11:01I present enough quiz shows.
00:11:03If I don't know the general knowledge by now,
00:11:05there's no hope for me.
00:11:06I don't want to go out.
00:11:07After next week,
00:11:08I want to carry on to the final.
00:11:10Bring it on, Kay.
00:11:11Bring it on!
00:11:14Thank you so much!
00:11:15Thank you so much indeed!
00:11:18So, who will crumble under the pressure
00:11:20and who will nab that last semi-final spot?
00:11:22Find out after the break!
00:11:23See you in a couple of minutes!
00:11:24We'll be right back!
00:11:25We'll be right back!
00:11:26We'll be right back!
00:11:27We'll be right back!
00:11:28We'll be right back!
00:11:29We'll be right back!
00:11:30We'll be right back!
00:11:31We'll be right back!
00:11:32We'll be right back!
00:11:33We'll be right back!
00:11:34We'll be right back!
00:11:35We'll be right back!
00:11:36We'll be right back!
00:11:37We'll be right back!
00:11:38We'll be right back!
00:11:39We'll be right back!
00:11:40We'll be right back!
00:11:41We'll be right back!
00:11:42We'll be right back!
00:11:43We'll be right back!
00:11:44We'll be right back!
00:11:45We'll be right back!
00:11:46We'll be right back!
00:11:47He's up, and he's raring to go.
00:12:05Duracell's got what it takes, and he just keeps on going.
00:12:10Duracell's got plenty left.
00:12:12What are they?
00:12:13Duracell lasts longer, much longer.
00:12:15Now with more power to last even longer.
00:12:19New and improved Duracell.
00:12:23Gentle is something you touch.
00:12:30But you can't always capture it.
00:12:33Once you do, you don't want to let go.
00:12:38A sensitive touch can make us forget the world.
00:12:43Or waken us to it.
00:12:45Is gentle something you touch, or something that touches you?
00:12:49Aerial sensitive.
00:12:50A gentle clean.
00:12:52No, no, no, no, not like that.
00:12:53Shh.
00:12:54Pass the comb through the mousse, and then run it through your hair.
00:12:58Well, that was easy.
00:12:59New Sunsilk blow-drying aid mousse.
00:13:01Thou shalt have a fishy on a little dishie.
00:13:05Thou shalt have a fishy when the port comes in.
00:13:06The chefs at Young's are very proud of their light, crisp, bubbly batter.
00:13:11Chip shop.
00:13:12Battered fish you simply bake in the oven for a healthier, just-fried taste.
00:13:16Oven-healthy chip shop.
00:13:19Young's make fish the dish of the day.
00:13:20Completely confused by multivitamins?
00:13:27Well, Senatogen Gold contains all the important vitamins and minerals, and also includes lutein.
00:13:33When we say we're complete, we mean complete.
00:13:36Just think of the difference that could make.
00:13:39Senatogen Gold.
00:13:39It makes complete sense.
00:13:44Watch food and music videos.
00:13:51And download the music track.
00:13:55On your mobile.
00:13:56And watch MST Tips 2.
00:13:58Sweet things.
00:14:00Say, we like music.
00:14:04Get two Eurostar tickets for the price of one.
00:14:07Continues only in this weekend's Sunday Telegraph.
00:14:13Is gentle something you touch?
00:14:16Or something that touches you?
00:14:18Aerial sensitive.
00:14:20A gentle clean.
00:14:37Hi, how you doing?
00:14:50Should we go somewhere a little quieter?
00:14:53Oh, no, no.
00:14:54Standing there would be good.
00:14:57New Foster's secret, child.
00:14:59Well, you wouldn't want a warm beer, would you?
00:15:01When I was learning how to do it.
00:15:11Here, show me, show me.
00:15:15New memories.
00:15:16New guests.
00:15:18New series.
00:15:19Parkinson.
00:15:20Tonight, 10 past 10.
00:15:22ITV1.
00:15:23And now, from London, it's the Quiz of the Week.
00:15:40And this week's special edition.
00:16:10Fabulous prizes include two top-of-the-range Piaggio Liberty Scooters.
00:16:15Perfect for beating the traffic.
00:16:17Normally, £3,000.
00:16:19Tonight, in our save of the century, they're just £100.
00:16:24This beautiful hand-made Iranian blunt should cost £530.
00:16:29But tonight, it's just £24.
00:16:32Here comes the sun.
00:16:33It's a one-week holiday in Fiji.
00:16:35It should be £1,800, but could be yours for just £78.
00:16:42Or what about a set of golf clubs?
00:16:45Sure to drive your friends green with envy.
00:16:48Normally, £750, but tonight, just £45.
00:16:52And finally, tonight's save of the century jet-pot prize is a bottle tigress fort.
00:17:00Complete with a retractable hardtop, ideal for cruising the streets topless.
00:17:06But now, let's meet the men with the money and the questions.
00:17:11Ant and death!
00:17:12Good evening, welcome to Sale of the Century.
00:17:22Tonight's star contestants are playing for the last semi-final spot.
00:17:26They're playing to raise money for their chosen charities and to win cash and prizes for one of you at home.
00:17:30Right, this is how it works.
00:17:31Our contestants answer questions in order to earn money, so they can buy prizes in the instant sales.
00:17:37There are five instant sales tonight, and they all feature items with huge reductions.
00:17:41So, for example, a £1,000 telly might be worth a tenner.
00:17:45Yep, each contestant...
00:17:46You just can't stop oohing tonight.
00:17:51Each contestant must buy at least one instant sale item.
00:17:55Now, each instant sale will vary in price.
00:17:58Some are cheaper than others, so they must spend their money wisely.
00:18:01The winner will be whoever finishes with at least one instant sale item and the most money.
00:18:06So, let's get down to business and meet our first star contestants.
00:18:11This is Vernon, and he's from Bolton.
00:18:19From Bolton.
00:18:20Hello, Vernon.
00:18:21Nice to see you.
00:18:22You all right?
00:18:22Yeah, good, thank you.
00:18:23It's great to see you again.
00:18:25Oh, what a surprise.
00:18:26Back again.
00:18:27I don't even know, because this has happened a few weeks now.
00:18:33How many tickets do you get for the audience, Vernon?
00:18:36I don't know, seriously.
00:18:37Well, you know, I'm from a big family.
00:18:39You've got a lot of support at night, so no pressure, Vernon.
00:18:42I know.
00:18:42This is my fourth week now, and I am a loser.
00:18:45It's official.
00:18:47And I've heard a couple of stories along the grapevine as to what a couple of games might
00:18:52be later on in the series, if we continue.
00:18:55So, hopefully...
00:18:56You'd love to stick around for the show.
00:19:02Yes!
00:19:06Well, we will find out tonight.
00:19:08Take a seat.
00:19:08Thank you very much.
00:19:13Let's have our second contestant.
00:19:15You see, Ruby, they love you, too.
00:19:32They love you.
00:19:33They're so fickle.
00:19:34Honestly.
00:19:35They don't care what it is, as long as it's standing here with Ann Decker, whoever you are.
00:19:40I can't tell.
00:19:41Nobody ever can't.
00:19:43How are you feeling about tonight?
00:19:44I'm scared, because I know very little information.
00:19:47So, have you not been swatting up, then?
00:19:49You said earlier on in the VT that you've been swatting up.
00:19:50I've got the crossbow now, so...
00:19:52You're too late for that.
00:19:54Well, if I lose...
00:19:56Yes.
00:19:57I will stalk you down.
00:20:00I'm very, very scared.
00:20:01I'm very scared.
00:20:03Good luck tonight, Ruby.
00:20:04We're all rooting for you.
00:20:05Take a seat in the middle there.
00:20:06Follow them on.
00:20:06Ruby Watts, everybody.
00:20:07Let's have our third and final contestant.
00:20:22This is Damon, and he's gone out far.
00:20:24Let's go, go, go.
00:20:31Got it!
00:20:32See, it's not just the young men they lost after.
00:20:40Listen, you said earlier on that, you horse quiz shows, so you've got a bit of an advantage here.
00:20:44You must have heard some answers over the years.
00:20:47You must have picked up some tips.
00:20:48You should not quite a lot of general knowledge.
00:20:50I know the answers.
00:20:51It's all in here.
00:20:52It's just getting it out.
00:20:53It's going to be the problem.
00:20:53That's it.
00:20:54That's it.
00:20:54We will wait and see.
00:20:59Eamon, go and take a seat.
00:21:00Thank you very much.
00:21:05And may I just say, good luck to all of you tonight.
00:21:14So those are our contestants.
00:21:16Now we're going to give you each £10 to start off with.
00:21:19There you go.
00:21:20But you have to earn the rest of your money.
00:21:22And the way you earn more money is by correctly answering questions.
00:21:25In this round, each question is worth £5.
00:21:28But answer incorrectly and we'll take £5 off your total.
00:21:33OK, let's play Sale of the Century.
00:21:35All right, eyes down.
00:21:36Fingers on buzzers.
00:21:38Here comes the first question.
00:21:40On which TV show would Dale Winton appear with an inflatable fruit?
00:21:44Vernon.
00:21:45Supermarket sweep.
00:21:45£5 to you.
00:21:47What is the motto of the Boy Scouts?
00:21:50Vernon.
00:21:50Dib, dib, dib, dib, dob, dob, dob.
00:21:53It is.
00:21:54It's the wrong answer.
00:21:55It's to be prepared for £5 off.
00:21:58You're not competitive at all, are you, Ruby?
00:22:00No, no, no, no.
00:22:00Not at all.
00:22:01What colour is a French post box?
00:22:04Vernon.
00:22:04Blue.
00:22:05No, it's yellow.
00:22:06Another £5 off.
00:22:06Oh, yeah, that's a little too quick there, Addyo.
00:22:10All right, next question.
00:22:11How many times has Jennifer Lopez been married?
00:22:15Ruby.
00:22:16Twice.
00:22:17Three times, I'm afraid.
00:22:19Lose £5, Ruby.
00:22:21Who's the brains behind the music career of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers?
00:22:28Vernon.
00:22:28Simon Cowell.
00:22:29It is Simon Cowell.
00:22:30£5 for you.
00:22:33Well done.
00:22:34Next question.
00:22:35In which sitcom would you find David Brent?
00:22:39Eamon.
00:22:40The Office.
00:22:41Well done.
00:22:42Well done, that's £5.
00:22:44Now, I can give you...
00:22:46Yes.
00:22:47I can give you an extra £5 if you do the dance for us.
00:22:50Yeah!
00:22:50CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:22:51Oh, you've given £5.
00:23:08Yeah, that's £5.
00:23:12Let's never ask him to do that again, David.
00:23:15Never speak about that again.
00:23:17Fingers on buzzers.
00:23:18Spell.
00:23:19Maneuver.
00:23:20Ruby.
00:23:21M-A-N-O-E-V-E-R.
00:23:24Is wrong.
00:23:25M-A-N-O-E-U-V-E-R-E.
00:23:28Ruby?
00:23:29I hope my children aren't watching this.
00:23:31Mommy knows.
00:23:32She's just dyslexic.
00:23:35Ruby, you lose £5.
00:23:37You're down to zero.
00:23:38All right, concentrate, Ruby.
00:23:39Here we go.
00:23:40Next question.
00:23:41If you asked for a P, please, Bob, where would you be?
00:23:46Vernon.
00:23:46Blockbusters.
00:23:47Yes, you are.
00:23:48Right there.
00:23:48And that noise means it's time for the first of our five instant sales.
00:23:56Now, remember, to win tonight, you must all buy at least one instant sale item, but you don't have to do it now.
00:24:02The first one might be the cheapest.
00:24:04It might not.
00:24:05That's the chance you take.
00:24:06Ruby, you have no money going into the first instant sale.
00:24:10So, you won't be buying.
00:24:11Vernon, you have £15, David.
00:24:13Can I pet Vernon?
00:24:14You have 20 pounds.
00:24:15You can do what you want.
00:24:18Aaron, you've got 20 pounds.
00:24:19So, let's see what's on offer tonight.
00:24:23Who wouldn't be tempted by this stunning hostess trolley?
00:24:26With three power-ex dishes and a neon light, you'd have to be off your trolley to turn this down.
00:24:32It normally retails at £230, but tonight it could be yours for just £16.
00:24:38You can buy as many as you want throughout the show.
00:25:02Well, so far in the lead, I'll buy a thing.
00:25:04Oh!
00:25:05It took a while.
00:25:06So, we've subtracted £16 from your £20 there.
00:25:11That means you're back on £4 and the hostess trolley goes into the viewer prize package.
00:25:15Okay, let's have some more questions.
00:25:17They're still worth £5.
00:25:19Here goes.
00:25:20How many days are there in the month of May?
00:25:23Ruby.
00:25:27No, 31, Ruby, I'm afraid.
00:25:30What's the name of Britney Spears' husband?
00:25:32Vernon.
00:25:33Kevin Federline.
00:25:34It's right, £5 to you.
00:25:35Which game show host first recorded the song Dick-a-Dum-Dum?
00:25:40Eamon.
00:25:41Desmond O'Connor.
00:25:42Yes, that's correct.
00:25:44I know.
00:25:44Sometimes called the father of his country, who was the first president of the United States?
00:25:49Ruby.
00:25:50George Washington.
00:25:50Yeehaw!
00:25:51Woo!
00:25:51Woo!
00:25:52High five for you.
00:25:55Well done, Ruby.
00:25:56You're back to nothing.
00:25:58Um, which TV chef had her husband Johnny as her assistant?
00:26:04Eamon.
00:26:04Fanny.
00:26:05It was indeed.
00:26:06Fanny Craddock, yes.
00:26:07£5.
00:26:08Wh-
00:26:08Oh, there's that noise again.
00:26:12Ruby has no money at the moment.
00:26:14Eamon has £14, but he has already bought the hostess trolley.
00:26:17And Vernon is in the lead on £20.
00:26:19Let's see if we can tempt them into spending some of that cash in our second instant sale.
00:26:24What's on offer?
00:26:27Can we interest you in a set of four brand new tyres?
00:26:30They're a real treat.
00:26:32We'll drive your friends round the bend.
00:26:35Perfect for all weathers, the set would normally cost you £300.
00:26:39But tonight, they're on special offer for just £20.
00:26:43Woo!
00:26:48Oh, Vernon is born with tyres, which means we subtract £20 from his total.
00:26:53He's left with, ooh, nothing.
00:26:56Nothing.
00:26:56Let's see if you're born with the viewer prize package.
00:26:59And remember, Ruby, you have to buy something and there are only three instant sales left.
00:27:03So you've got to get your money up.
00:27:04If I don't have any money, can I steal something?
00:27:09Not two questions, fingers on buzzers.
00:27:11Which of the following wasn't a Charlie's Angel?
00:27:14Farrah Fawcett Majors, Kate Jackson or Lindsay Wagner?
00:27:18Eamon.
00:27:19Lindsay Wagner.
00:27:19Is correct.
00:27:20Well done.
00:27:20What is the name of this dance made famous by Michael Jackson?
00:27:26Very well done, Vernon.
00:27:28Who's in first, Vernon?
00:27:30The moonwalk.
00:27:31It is indeed.
00:27:32Well done.
00:27:33So, I'm not doing that.
00:27:34Whoa!
00:27:34It's time to take a break from the questions.
00:27:36That noise means we're going...
00:27:38Whoops!
00:27:39Is that moving?
00:27:40They're playing their own show.
00:27:42They are in question.
00:27:43Your breasts are getting more questions right than you at the moment.
00:27:46Right, it's time to take a break from the questions because that noise means we're going to play the fame game.
00:27:55Here's how it works.
00:27:56We will describe a well-known celebrity and you have to guess who it is we're describing.
00:28:01If you guess correctly, you get to choose one of the faces here on the fame game board.
00:28:05Behind each face is a fantastic prize.
00:28:07Now, we must point out the person we're describing is not one of the people on the fame game board, okay?
00:28:12It is another well-known celebrity.
00:28:15So, we'll give you the clues and all you have to do is buzz in when you think you know the answer.
00:28:19If you're buzzing and you're wrong, you're frozen out.
00:28:21For a correct answer, we will add a whopping £10 to your tote.
00:28:26Oh, what?
00:28:26Okay, so, listen carefully.
00:28:31Who am I?
00:28:32I was born in England in the 1970s and first made my name as an actor on the BBC in the early 1990s.
00:28:39I appeared on the same programme for over five years, during which time I met some of my best friends.
00:28:44The programme was set in the north-east of England and launched more than one famous face.
00:28:49After acting, I moved into the music industry, where I released three albums.
00:28:53Vernon?
00:28:54Albert Parton.
00:28:54I'm afraid it was me, it was Derek and Sarah Vernon.
00:28:58But we'll give you it anyway.
00:29:04I tell you what, I was getting ready to rumble then.
00:29:07So, let's have a look who's on the board tonight.
00:29:09We've got Mr. T up there, top left, Miss Piggy next to him, David Hasselhoff, the Hoff there.
00:29:14Who would you pick if it was up to you?
00:29:16Who would you go for?
00:29:19It's up to you, Vernon.
00:29:20It's up to Mr. T.
00:29:22I've got to do it.
00:29:23Chris who?
00:29:23You crazy fool.
00:29:24I've got a Mr. T.
00:29:25You've got a Mr. T.
00:29:26Let's see what Mr. T's what are you doing tonight.
00:29:28Oh, a lovely camcorder.
00:29:32You've won a Canon digital camcorder.
00:29:35So, this week, the star of the show could be you.
00:29:41Well done, Vernon.
00:29:44Well done, Vernon.
00:29:45We'll add the camcorder to the viewer prize package.
00:29:47And, at the end of the first round, let's take a look at the scores.
00:29:51Ruby, you haven't bought anything in the instant sales, and you've got no money.
00:29:57Vernon, you bought a set of four tyres, and you've got £15.
00:30:00But we're now at the moment with a hostess trolley and £19 is Eamon Holm.
00:30:09Still very close, though, and all still to play for.
00:30:12That last semi-final spot is up for grabs.
00:30:14We'll be back after this break with more from Sale of the Century.
00:30:18See you in a couple of minutes.
00:30:18See you later.
00:30:19CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:30:44Wrigley's Extra Gum.
00:30:57Get a little closer.
00:30:58Get away, Beethoven.
00:31:09Thanks for the lift.
00:31:14Ow!
00:31:17Like what?
00:31:17Watch it, dog.
00:31:18Shut up!
00:31:23Oh, and another one.
00:31:24Biggie!
00:31:25No!
00:31:26iTunes and your phone, baby.
00:31:27Hello, Moto.
00:31:28Hello, Moto.
00:31:301664, a bad year for composing.
00:31:56A good deal could do that.
00:31:59You're a bounty hunter.
00:32:01Yes, I am.
00:32:03It's a dangerous profession.
00:32:05I got an armored truck that's empty.
00:32:07Where's the money?
00:32:08Her job was to get the money.
00:32:09Track down to these thieves.
00:32:11Apparently they call themselves the first ladies.
00:32:13Her problem...
00:32:14It's an inside job.
00:32:15...was getting out alive.
00:32:17Put your weapon down!
00:32:20Evacuate the van!
00:32:21Come on!
00:32:21Domino.
00:32:25Where's my money?
00:32:26How much difference can shampoo and conditioner really make to frizzy hair?
00:32:33It's the difference between being fashionably late and very, very late.
00:32:37And doing my hair how I want to, not how I have to.
00:32:39Make a real difference to your hair with frizzy shampoo and conditioner.
00:32:43It works beneath the surface of your hair, so it's frizz-free from the start.
00:32:46New from John Frieda, frizzy's straightening potion gives you super sleek, straight results.
00:32:54Frizzy's, from the professionals at John Frieda.
00:33:03Would you like to sit?
00:33:06Coffee?
00:33:07Please.
00:33:08If you liked that, please.
00:33:38Morrison's bakers bake all day long, so there's always fresh, tasty bread.
00:33:52Reason 12. Fresh bread baked all day.
00:33:56More reasons to shop at Morrison's.
00:34:08Welcome back to Game Show, Martin, and Sale of the Century.
00:34:15Don't forget, one of you at home could get your hands on everything that's won tonight,
00:34:18including a brand new car.
00:34:20But Orny, if you can answer this question.
00:34:23What was the booby prize in 321?
00:34:26A. Dusty bin, B. Dusty kettle, or C. Dusty shelf?
00:34:31Call 09012 930 940 and follow instructions on the line.
00:34:36Calls cost a pound.
00:34:37Or, text your answer, A, B, or C, to 6337.
00:34:42Texts cost a pound plus three messages at standard rate.
00:34:45Lines close at 10pm and players must be 18 or over.
00:34:48Good luck with that.
00:34:50Back then to the quiz of the week.
00:34:51It's time for another round of questions.
00:34:52This time, they're all worth a whopping £7 each.
00:34:58But remember, a wrong answer will lose you.
00:35:01£7.
00:35:01Eyes down, fingers on buzzers.
00:35:03Here's the next question.
00:35:04Who recently split from Jennifer Aniston?
00:35:06Bradley Walsh or Brad Pitt?
00:35:08Vernon Kay?
00:35:09Brad Pitt.
00:35:10It was Brad Pitt.
00:35:11£7 to you.
00:35:13Spell February.
00:35:15Ruby.
00:35:16F-E-B-R-U-A-R-Y.
00:35:18Well done.
00:35:18£7 to you.

00:35:21M-A-N.
00:35:22Which of these two songs charted higher?
00:35:26Elvis Presley's Suspicious Minds or Rolf Harris's Two Little Boys?
00:35:30Ruby?
00:35:31Elvis Pres...
00:35:31Ralph Harris, sorry.
00:35:32It was Rolf Harris.
00:35:33£7 to you.
00:35:35What is the car called in the Dukes of Hazard?
00:35:38Vernon.
00:35:39Yeehaw!
00:35:40Generally.
00:35:40It is indeed.
00:35:41£7.
00:35:42What does the Crazy Frog ringtone sound like?
00:35:45Vernon?
00:35:45Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bonim.
00:35:48ού
00:35:50Bye-bye-bye-bye.
00:35:53Mummy-bye-bye-bye.
00:35:56That one.
00:36:00The actual answer we're looking for was ring-do-do-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding.
00:36:05Ring-do-do-do-ding-ding.
00:36:06But we'll give you that £7.
00:36:08On which ITV1 show did Chris Tarrant chuck buckets of water all the people?
00:36:13Vernon.
00:36:14Tis was.
00:36:14It was indeed £7.
00:36:16In which sport would you see a Chinaman, a Maiden and a Night Watchman out with a duck?
00:36:20Eamon.
00:36:20Cricket.
00:36:21It is cricket. £7.
00:36:22Who was the brains behind the music career of Zig and Zag?
00:36:27Vernon.
00:36:28Simon Coe.
00:36:29It was Simon Coe.
00:36:31What was the name of the racehorse that went missing in 1983?
00:36:34Vernon.
00:36:35Sugar.
00:36:35Yes, £7.
00:36:36That noise tells us it's time for instant sale number three.
00:36:43Ruby, you have £14.
00:36:44Yes, I do.
00:36:45Eamon, you have £26.
00:36:47You've already bought your hostess trolley, so you needn't buy anything else if you don't want to.
00:36:51Vernon, you're on £57, and you have your set of tyres.
00:36:54You needn't buy anything if you don't want to either.
00:36:56Ruby, have a look at this.
00:36:57This is our next instant sale.
00:36:59Can we tempt you to kick back and relax with this top-of-the-range chair from Massage Chair Distributor?
00:37:05With built-in airbags that massage each and every one of your aching bones, this is a treat for any couch potato.
00:37:13It would normally set you back £3,300, but tonight it's on offer for £25.
00:37:19Right, Ruby, you couldn't afford that.
00:37:29But Eamon, Eamon's bought the Massage Chair, which means he subtract £25 from his total, and the Massage Chair goes into the viewer prize package.
00:37:40And remember, there are only two instant sales left, Ruby, so you'd needn't get more questions.
00:37:45Right, and Eamon, you're only on £1 now after that very generous buy.
00:37:48But I have seen the opposition, so I'm quite...
00:37:51Right, okay.
00:37:51Oh!
00:37:52I see.
00:37:52I'm going to get bigger money from here on.
00:37:54I can talk that.
00:37:55I can talk that.
00:37:55Okay, then, let's have some more questions.
00:37:57They're still worth £7.
00:37:59Pay attention.

00:39:35No.
00:39:35You're on £14.
00:39:36That's because there's nothing this cheap.

00:40:17Ruby can't afford that.

00:40:28They decided to keep the money to the sales and Ruby...

00:41:54Once again, we're going to describe the fame person, and you three have to try and guess
00:41:58who it is.

00:42:03the question, okay?
00:42:05Good luck.

00:45:12A troll emerged and blocked his path.
00:45:14Feed me diamonds or feel my wrath.
00:45:17Diamonds, I ain't got it, Gregor said.
00:45:20Take these rubies and emeralds instead.
00:45:22The ogre chewed Maynard's wine gums and cogitated as Gregor dangled and nervously waited.
00:45:28The Maynards were precious.
00:45:30The troll conceded.
00:45:31Whilst at full speed, our Gregor proceeded.

00:48:24Is that good?
00:48:26It's not bad.
00:48:28Eamon is in second place with 53 pounds, but he's bought that hostess trolley and the massage chair.
00:48:32But Vernon is out in the lead at the moment with a set of four tyres and 92 pounds.
00:48:40Okay, back to the questions.
00:48:42This time, they're worth a massive 10 pounds.
00:48:47I can't take it.

00:49:21Ah, money, money, money.

00:50:13This will have your friends tearing their hair out with envy.
00:50:16It would usually cost you 150 pounds, but tonight it's on sale for just 10 pounds.
00:50:22Oh, at last, at last, Ruby has bought something in the hair styling kit.
00:50:32That means we subtract 10 pounds from her total and the hair styling kit goes into the viewer prize package.
00:50:38Well done, Ruby.
00:50:38Well done, Ruby.
00:50:39All right, back to the questions.

00:53:04Really great.
00:53:05It's really been super being part of these shows that I watched as a youngster growing
00:53:09up and it's just been fantastic to be here and part of it all.
00:53:12Well, thank you very much.
00:53:16OK, but listen, cancel off the plane.

00:53:30Aren't they horrible?
00:53:30Ladies and gentlemen, they've been fantastic contestants.
00:53:36The team will raise £10,000 for charity.
00:53:38Let's hear it once again for Ruby and Eamon.
00:53:44And a big congratulations to Vernon, your tonight's winner.

00:54:03And now you have to decide if you want to go for the car or just go shopping.
00:54:07But before you make your mind up, come with us and have a look around tonight's sale of the century.
00:54:11Come on, Vernon.

00:54:26You've got £142 to spend now.
00:54:28If you want to buy any of these items, they're all guaranteed to go to one viewer,
00:54:32along with everything else that's been won tonight in the instant sales.
00:54:35But if you don't buy anything, you could gamble and go for tonight's star prize, which is this.
00:54:41Well, let's take a look around the sale of the century first.
00:54:51We've got these scooters here, two scooters, would normally cost you £3,000.

00:55:25We've got this wonderful set of golf clubs.
00:55:26Are you a golfer yourself, Vernon?
00:55:28Well, you know, I've tinkled the greens.
00:55:29Oh, really?
00:55:30But you haven't played golf on them?
00:55:32No.
00:55:33A set of golf clubs there, £750 normally.
00:55:36Tonight, £45.
00:55:37What?
00:55:38So, with your money...
00:55:40How can we do it?
00:55:41I don't know how we do it.
00:55:42With your money tonight, Vernon, you could buy the scooters and the rug, you could buy the
00:55:46holiday and the golf clubs, or you could buy the rug and the holiday.
00:55:49It's up to you, or you can gamble and go for the call.
00:55:52What do you think you should do, everybody?
00:55:59That's what they're all saying, but I told you, then, Vernon, it's up to you.
00:56:01What do you want to do?
00:56:02Er, well, I'm going to go for the golf club and the holiday.
00:56:05Oh, yeah?
00:56:06Oh, yeah, I can get a gamble!
00:56:07I can get a gamble!
00:56:18You've decided to gamble, go for the car.
00:56:20So, you have to answer four out of the following five questions correctly.
00:56:24If you get them right, then the car goes into the viewer prize package and to one of our viewers
00:56:28tonight.
00:56:29Well done, you've done great so far, Vernon.
00:56:31I've got to ask for silence in the studio, please.
00:56:34Relax.
00:56:35Good luck, mate.
00:56:35We're all rooting for you.
00:56:37Here we go.
00:56:37If you added together the number of people in G4, the number of judges on the X Factor,
00:56:46and the number on David Beckham's Real Madrid shirt, what number would you get?
00:56:52I'll say it again.
00:56:54It's the number of people in G4, the number of judges on the X Factor, and the number on
00:56:59David Beckham's Real Madrid shirt.
00:57:01What number would you get?
00:57:03The Beckham thing confused me there, but he's 23 at Real Madrid, so 30.
00:57:08It's correct.
00:57:09Well done, okay.
00:57:11Question two.
00:57:14In which century was the Battle of Hastings?
00:57:17Was it the 11th or the 12th century?
00:57:2211th.
00:57:23It was the 11th.
00:57:24Well done.
00:57:28Question three.
00:57:29Siamese, Burmese, and Manx are all types of what?
00:57:35I was going to say Northerners.
00:57:39Cats.
00:57:40Correct.
00:57:40Well done.
00:57:42So that's three out of three.
00:57:44Vernon, if you get this question right, you've won the car.
00:57:47Oh, come on.
00:57:47I've never ever won anything in my life.
00:57:49At the start of the British summertime, would you put your clock forward or back?
00:57:54Nice and quiet in the studio.
00:57:55No help from the audience, please.
00:57:57Forward.
00:58:03It's right, you won the car!
00:58:08What's the point of your...
00:58:10Come on!
00:58:11That's what it is.
00:58:12That's the tough question.
00:58:13There it is.
00:58:16Three!
00:58:19Yeah!
00:58:19Come back here to join us.
00:58:25Come back here.
00:58:26I didn't tell him, but he doesn't actually get to keep the car
00:58:31because the car goes to one of you at home
00:58:34in tonight's viewer prize package,
00:58:35along with the hostess trolley, the tyres, the camcorder,
00:58:38the massage chair, the MP3 player and the hairstyling kit.
00:58:40Now, Les Dennis will be out on the road delivering those prizes
00:58:43during the next seven days.
00:58:44If you want to be in with a chance,
00:58:45all you have to do is call this number.
00:58:48That's on your screen now.
00:58:49Give us a call and those prizes could be going to you.
00:58:51So, Vernon joins Carol Patsy and Bill in the semifinals.
00:58:54Well done!
00:58:55Yes! Congratulations!
