Hello, everybody. Welcome along
to Friday's House Of Games.
It's finally here. We're going
to discover our champion.
Someone is going to walk away
with this trophy.
Wow. This trophy, I actually forged
this trophy myself.
Oh! I say forge, I actually won it
with one of those dippers,
do you know, on Southend Pier.
That's where I got it from.
We've got four famous faces, they
have been battling it out all week,
and it's been quite the battle,
has it not - Chizzy Akudolu,
Charlie Higson,
Kate Williams
and Tom Allen.
Hi. Welcome.
What a week we've had. I hope you've
been watching.
Unprecedented,
you've all won a game.
One of you is going to win
this trophy.
You see how it's come nearer now,
to mock you.
So close, so close. That means you
can't see it now, right, Chizzy,
because I'm in the way of it.
No, but I'll see it later
when I hold it up.
Ooh! Wow! Interesting.
Pass it to me.
Chizzy, what are your tactics today,
do you think?
Do better than Charlie.
You know what, that is the right
tactic.
Charlie, let's take a look at the
weekly leaderboard,
because you are on top of it.
But you are not far on top.
Look at that. 7, 10, 11, 12.
The top three there.
Kate, welcome along.
You are going to need to win today,
I think, to take home the trophy,
and of course if you do win today,
it's not just the weekly prize,
there's a daily prize every day.
Shall we look at the prizes
for today?
Sure. Oh, look!
These are some nice ones.
That's not just a pillow.
It's a pillow and duvet set.
Very impressive it is too. Finally.
House Of Games tankard,
House Of Games slippers,
House Of Games eau de cologne there.
And a House Of Games tool box.
Tool box. Tool box.
That, it is a good tool box.
Inside, are they all branded
screwdrivers,
with your face on and things?
There is... I tell you
what we've done,
we've left nothing inside
so you can actually put your own
tools in there,
which makes it even more special.
You don't want a boring one
that there's no room
for your own tools in, do you? No.
So that, literally... Or you could
put anything you want,
you could put buttons in that
if you wanted.
Tom, so you won on Monday.
Yes, I did.
I'm still dining out on it.
What have you learned this week
about your three opponents?
They are full of surprises.
You cannot rest at any point,
they are out to get you.
What do you think at home?
Who's going to win?
Don't forget
it is double-points Friday.
Eight points for a win,
six for second,
four for third, two for last.
One of you is going to take home
the trophy.
Who is it going to be? We will find
out with a series of rounds.
I'll press this buzzer, we'll play
our first one, shall we?
Yes. Good luck.
Correction Centre. What I'm going to
do now
is read you all a series of
statements.
One word of that statement
is incorrect,
you have to change it to another
word to make the statement correct.
OK? Chizzy, we will start with you.
Here is your first statement.
What word would you like to change
here?
Oh, change Neville to Righteous.
Change Neville to Righteous,
is that right?
It is. Good start to the show.
Well done. Thank you.
Gary and Phil Neville yet to have
a UK top 40 hit.
Charlie, here's yours.
You see how this works,
change one word, please.
I'd like to change Indiana to
Bridget, please.
So Indiana to Bridget.
Bridget Jones's Baby is correct.
Well played, Charlie.
Kate, here's your first question.
Change Labrador - they're very
powerful, I know - but for hole.
So change Labrador to hole.
Nothing can escape from a black hole
is the correct answer.
Well done. Even though black
Labradors can do a lot.
They can indeed. Tom.
Shall we? Yes. Here's your
statement - change one word, please.
I... Well, I would like to
change selfie.
You think?
To...
..walk. Is that the right answer?
It's the right answer, Tom.
Well done.
Chizzy, we are back to you.
Change one word.
Ooh.
Ah. Black dress.
So change book to dress.
The little black dress is the right
answer, Chizzy, well played.
Five out of five.
Charlie, here we go, here is yours.
What would you like to change?
Well, it's not Frank Spencer.
Football not my oeuvre,
the only Frank I can
think of is Lampard,
so can we change Spencer to Lampard?
You're taking a risk, you don't know
for sure.
No. Let's take a look.
Is Charlie right,
was it Frank Lampard?
Is the right answer.
Well done.
That's a relief, isn't it? Yes.
Kate, here is your second one.
Oh. So, yes, I don't think that
Sadiq Khan has drunkenly sold
his wife and child to a sailor.
There are other people...
Just to make it clear,
you don't think that,
just for legal reasons.
Other people who have been
Mayor of London,
you wouldn't put it past them,
but not Sadiq.
I think Charlie knows it.
Fingers on buzzers if he does.
Push you for an answer.
What word would you like to change?
You're not, Richard,
you're not pushing me, are you?
I am, I'm afraid.
The Mayor of Casterbridge.
Ah! Got there in the end!
Casterbridge is the correct answer.
I've never seen anyone look more
disappointed by someone saying
Casterbridge than Charlie did there.
Tom, we are seven from seven.
You could make this a perfect round.
What word would you like
to change here?
I don't know anything about it.
I'm a bit rubbish on films.
I don't like to sit still
for too long.
I can feel myself falling apart.
No, you're going to do it.
No, I'm not, I'm going to mess this
right up, aren't I?
Is it International Men's Day?
So you're going to change
Women's to Men's.
No, that's nonsense, it can't be
that. Let's find out, is that right?
Fingers on buzzer, everyone else.
Charlie Higson. Oh!
Change Harry to dancing.
Dirty Harry to Dirty Dancing.
Is absolutely right. Well done.
Shall we take a little
look at the scores?
Yes. At the end of our first round
on our final day,
who's going to win the trophy?
Our early leaderboard
looks like this.
Tom, you have one.
Chizzy and Kate, you have two.
Charlie, with that last-minute
intervention,
you are our leader
with three points.
Shall we play Round Two?
Yes, please. Today it's going
to be...
Venn Will I Be Famous?
This is a pairs round.
The person in last place will get to
choose a partner.
The person in last place currently,
Tom, is you.
I'm going to go with Kate.
Oh, thank you.
Ah, you're going with Kate, that's
nice on a Friday,
everyone stays where they are.
Charlie and Chizzy together.
I'm going to show each team
three famous people.
I'm then going to show you two
statements underneath it,
and you have to tell me the person
to whom both statements apply.
OK. So Charlie and Chizzy, here are
your three famous faces.
These are both true of one
of those people.
I know who it is.
Definitely know who it is.
So, for one of those people,
both apply to me.
The other two haven't got
a kid called Bear.
He's got a kid called Bear.
I'm sure Kate Winslet doesn't.
Two of them do have a kid
called Bear.
We're going with...
Oh, you're kidding!
That's how it works. All of them
have done one of those things,
but one of them has done...
Both. ..both of those things.
When it first came up and said a
character on Casualty, you said,
"Oh, I know which one it is."
Were you thinking Liam Payne
at that point?
No, I was thinking Kate.
But remember, two of them have got a
child called Bear,
and I know David doesn't,
which means, as a process of
elimination,
they must both have a child
called Bear,
and if she's been on Casualty,
we'll say Kate Winslet.
I'm starting to think she has been
on Casualty.
You did say that from the beginning.
Yeah, I did.
OK, we'll go with that, then.
So I couldn't quite follow
the logic,
but you are going to say that
Kate Winslet is the person
to whom both of those apply. Yes.
Let's find out, where does Kate
Winslet fit in this diagram,
is she is in the middle?
Yes, she is.
Oh, my gosh! Very well played.
And David Walliams has appeared as a
guest character on Casualty,
and Liam Payne has a child
named Bear.
Very well played. I'm going
to listen to you more often.
Kate and Tom.
Yes. Here are your
three famous faces.
Oh, that one's Keith Richards.
That is an interesting group.
Interesting group.
Two statements now.
I have no idea who Alastair Cook is.
Is he a cricketer? I mean,
you'd think that Keith Richards
should be able to sing.
So she came to the throne in '53,
so say he was born in '41,
so he would have been 12.
So that works.
That would be possible, yes.
Yes.
OK. So, yes, I think
that Keith Richards
definitely in the yellow circle.
I've been to hospital after an
edible-item-related injury...
Surely that's Keith Richards,
they were rock and roll.
Oh, yes, I'm sure that's the least
of their troubles but I'm sure that
happened to them. I think Keith
Richards in the middle.
Oh, why not?
Yeah, you're putting Keith Richards
in the middle, Kate and Tom.
So, Keith Richards, where do you fit
in that diagram?
Point for you as well.
Very well played.
Amazing. You were so right.
I'll always listen to you from
now on.
He fell out of a tree foraging for
coconuts,
that was his edible-food-related
injury.
Alastair Cook, who is he?
He's an England batsman,
England opening batsman, and he was
also once a schoolboy chorister,
Alastair Cook. And Paul Daniels has
been to hospital
after an edible-item-related injury.
Sooty threw a pizza at him.
Oh, no. My goodness.
And he got a black eye from a pizza?
It was an eye injury, for sure.
Poor Paul. Oh, yes, you have to be
careful with Peperami.
It's tough, show business is tough.
If he did have a black eye, he could
have formed a group
and called them the Black-Eyed
Pizzas.
Oh, that would have been nice.
Listen, it's Friday. That was good.
We've been here all week.
That is the end of that round.
No-one has to move places because
you've stayed exactly
where you were.
Let's take a look at what it's done
to the scores.
Tom, you have two points,
Kate and Chizzy you have three,
our leader still with four points,
it's Charlie Higson.
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie!
Let's take a look, what's our
next game going to be?
It is...
The Elephant in the Room.
Before I explain how we play this,
let's find out what the elephant in
the room is today.
It is...can.
I'm going to ask you a series of
questions in this round.
You have to say the answers without
saying the word "can", please.
So they'll all have can
somewhere in their name,
you just have to leave that bit out
of the answer.
OK, and say everything around "can".
Here is your first question.
Yes, Kate.
The terbury Tales.
Absolutely right.
Comes from The Canterbury Tales.
Take out the "can" and you've got
The terbury Tales.
Well played. Next question.
Yes, Kate.
The Republi Party.
Correct. Well done.
Republican, "can" taken out.
Here's your next question.
Yes, Kate.
King ute.
Is the right answer.
King ute. From King Canute.
Here's your next question.
That is Chizzy.
Vol o.
Is incorrect, I'm afraid.
Charlie.
Volology.
Is the correct answer.
Yes. That's the study of volcanoes,
volcanology.
Volology.
Here's your next question.
That's Charlie.
The Panama al.
Panama al is the correct answer.
Terrific guy as well, Panama Al.
Drinks in my local pub.
Here's your next one.
The...and then it's double words.
Is the correct answer.
Very well played.
Is the cancan, of course,
"the" being the answer.
Next one is a piece of music.
What is the title of this song?
# A man walks down the street
# He says, why am I soft in the
middle now?
# Why am I soft in the middle?
# The rest of my life is so hard
# I need a photo-opportunity
# I want a shot at redemption... #
Yes, Kate.
You Me Al.
Incorrect, I'm afraid.
Yes, Tom.
You Call Me Al. You Call Me Al!
Is the right answer, from
You Can Call Me Al.
Well played, Tom.
Here's the last question
of the round.
Yes, Kate?
Vati City.
Is the right answer.
Vati City, from Vatican City.
That is the end of that round.
That was a very good round.
That was really good, I have to say.
Yes, Kate. We have two rounds to go.
Two rounds before we crown
our weekly champion
on The House Of Games.
How is our leaderboard looking?
Oh.
Tom and Chizzy with three,
Charlie you have six, Kate, you are
in the lead with eight points.
Wow! Neck and neck.
Heavens above!
Two rounds to go.
OK. Best of luck to everybody.
Shall we play Round Four?
Yes. Let's do it.
Good luck, everybody.
The next round is...
Now, this is one you all did
a little bit of prep for
before the show. I am going to ask
you each a question.
You are then going to see four
multiple-choice answers.
One of those answers
is the correct answer,
the other three have been written by
your opponents to fool you.
If you give me the correct answer,
you get a point.
However, if you give an incorrect
answer,
whoever wrote it will get the point.
OK?
Chizzy, we will begin, as always,
with you.
Uh-huh. Here is your question.
Were those words...
I won't do the voice.
Oh, please. OK, I'll try.
HE MIMICS MICKEY MOUSE
This is a good voice.
Thank you. Or was it...?
One of those is the correct answer.
The other three were written
by your opponents.
If you get it right, you get
a point.
If you get it wrong, I will give a
point to whoever has tricked you.
What do you think?
I have not a scooby.
So, I'm going to go with...
Oh, man...
This is gonna be fun.
This is gonna be fun.
"This is gonna be fun,"
says Chizzy.
Let's see, is that a correct answer?
It is not. Oh, it's "Hi Minnie!"
Is it "Hi Minnie?"
What is the correct answer?
"Hot dog! Hot dog!"
was the correct answer.
Well done if you said that at home.
This is going to be fun, who is
getting the point here,
who fooled Chizzy?
Charlie.
Well played, Charlie.
Oh, you fooled me once,
you fooled me twice.
This is going to be fun. Let's see
who wrote the others.
"Hey, everyone!" was Kate.
And Tom wrote, "Hi Minnie."
Because of Minnie Mouse, right?
Yeah. Could have been.
Could have been. Never know, it
wasn't but it could have been.
Very good. Very good. Charlie
Higson, here's your question.
I won't do the voice.
I missed that series as well.
Oh, you're kidding me. You've got
to watch it on catch-up.
I watched every one.
I'm torn between Bexy Pies
and Falushala Falashalay.
Oh...
I'm going to go with
Falushala Falashalay.
Falushala Falashalay, says Charlie.
You get a point if it's correct.
If it's incorrect, you've given away
a point to one of your opponents
at a crucial time.
Falushala Falashalay,
is that the correct answer?
It is not the correct answer.
What is the correct answer?
It wasn't me!
Bob the Drag Queen
was the correct answer.
So who wrote Falushala Falashalay?
Chizzy.
Very good. Well done, Chizzy.
It's a friend, she did it at a show.
How are we pronouncing that?
Falushala Falashalay.
Very well played, let's see who
wrote the others.
Who wrote Bexy Pies?
Tom. I love Bexy Pies.
Kate wrote Dirk Dancer.
Kate, it is now your question.
Going to give you a question,
four possible answers,
one of them is right, three of them
written by your opponents.
Oh, this is awful.
I guess... I guess I'm going
for Tiger or Hips.
Shakira, I'm sorry if I've got this
wrong,
because you know I love you,
but I'm going to try for Tiger.
Tour of the Tiger, says Kate.
No-one has got one right so far, has
Kate broken the duck on this round?
Was the tour the Tour of the Tiger?
Oh, no. It was not, I'm afraid.
Let's see
what the correct answer is.
Correct answer was the Tour
of the Mongoose.
Oh! Shakira!
Shakira, Shakira.
She believes that everybody
has a mongoose inside them
which can defeat hatred.
So a point to whoever wrote
Tiger, it is...
..Charlie Higson!
Oh, that's the worst thing that
could have happened, Kate.
You have given a point to your
closest opponent, Charlie Higson.
Who wrote the other two?
Hips was Chizzy,
and Whatever Forever was Tom.
Here's the last question
of the round.
Let's do this, shall we? Tom.
He loves horses.
No, I don't think he'd like a puppy.
Oh! Interesting.
OK, I think a horse,
no, too banal.
Puppy? I'm leaning towards a tattoo.
You're going to go
with tattoo?
What have I got to lose?
A point.
A very valuable point.
I think a tattoo. I can imagine it
being like an amusing thing,
like Vladimir Putin going, "All
right, you can give me a tattoo."
So you're going to go with tattoo.
Yeah. Was Vladimir Putin
given a tattoo?
He was not, I'm afraid.
What's the correct answer?
Puppy is the correct answer.
That's a nice present,
isn't it?
So who wrote tattoo?
Chizzy.
Good round for Chizzy and Charlie.
Both fooled you twice there.
So, who wrote horse?
That was Charlie,
and the golden bust
was written by Kate.
Now, we've been here all week,
we've been fighting all week,
we've had different winners
every single day,
but it all comes down to one round.
Oh, no. Oh, it's not already.
The final round.
Shall we take a little look
at the leaderboard?
Before we go into that final round.
Tom... It's all to play for.
..has three points.
This is your best round as well.
Chizzy has five.
Charlie and Kate have eight each.
Very interesting.
Shall we play the final round?
We know what it is, it is always...
It's been so close
between all of you all week,
it all comes down
to this final round.
I would say fingers on buzzers,
but you're already there,
apart from Chizzy. There we go,
there we go,
that's the killer instinct you need.
I'm going to show you some pictures,
there's a clue underneath.
You smash the answers into each
other, if you get it right,
you get a point. If you get it
wrong, you lose a point.
Our first category today is...
Those will be the pictures,
there will be clues underneath.
A point for a correct answer,
a point off if you buzz in
and give me an incorrect answer.
Very best of luck to all of you.
Here is your first question.
Charlie.
I'm going to go for
Channing Tatumble Dryer.
Is the right answer.
Yes. Yes.
Here is your next question.
Yes, that is Kate.
The Jude Lawn Tennis Association.
Jude Lawn Tennis Association is the
correct answer. Well done.
Here is your next one.
Yes, Kate.
Johnny Depping Forest.
Johnny Depping Forest is the correct
answer, well done.
What a battle we have got between
seats two and three here.
Here is your next category.
Yes!
You will see some pictures of some
herbs and spices,
underneath that there will be a
clue, smash them together,
what have you got?
Here is your first one.
Tom.
Cinnamonopoly.
Cinnamonopoly!
That's a lovely game to play at
Christmas, isn't it, Cinnamonopoly.
Yes. Here is your next one.
What is this picture and what is the
answer to the clue?
Yes, Kate.
Nutmeghan Markle.
Oh, yes. Well done. Kate.
Nutmeghan Markle.
Here's your next question.
Kate. Camomiley Cyrus.
Camomiley Cyrus
is the right answer.
Kate is running away with this.
Running away.
Here is your next category.
Those will be the pictures,
there'll be a clue underneath.
I'm not up in time.
I have been on it.
Let's have a look,
what are the answers?
Yes, Kate. Is it going to be
Carol Kirkwoodrow Wilson?
It is indeed, Kate, very well done.
Time is up.
Time is up. Well, I think we have
an idea who won today's show.
Let's take a look
at the leaderboard for today.
Kate Williams, by four points.
Well played, Kate.
Kate, daily prize, what would you
like to go for?
Oh, my goodness, I get to choose...
Oh, gosh.
There's a duvet pillow case set.
There's the tool box,
the eau de cologne.
Tankard, the slippers.
I think I'd like the tool box.
The tool box, says Kate Williams.
When I go out, I could use it
as a handbag.
And put all my books
and my computer,
and everything in there for my...
I'm beginning to wonder how on earth
you won two shows this week, Kate.
But you did. Kate Williams takes
home a House Of Games tool box.
Very well done.
But we have the small matter
of who our weekly champion is.
It's been super close,
let's take a look,
shall we, at our final leaderboard.
Who is the House Of Games champion
for the week?
In fourth place, we have Tom,
with 13.
How the great have fallen.
Chizzy, you have 14, Kate, 15,
our champion,
it is Charlie Higson with 18 points.
Congratulations, Charlie.
This beautiful trophy is yours, sir.
Well done. Chizzy will...
See you!
Sorry. Charlie.
Thank you so much.
More than welcome.
It weighs absolutely nothing.
Well done. Thank you all,
what a brilliant week it's been,
you have all covered yourselves
in glory.
Charlie, congratulations, the most
consistent player across the week,
you are our House Of Games champion.
Congratulations, Charlie Higson.
Thank you so much, it's been great
fun having you here.
Hope you've enjoyed it as well.
We will see you next
time on House Of Games.
HE SIGHS
