the show that isn't actually about blankets.
OK, let's meet the gang.
Hello, celebrities.
ALL: Hello, Brad.
Start at the top first, Sally Lindsey? Hey, Sal. Hello.
From Corrie, of course.
So I switched on the telly the other day. Mm.
You're doing Tenable, you're hosting quiz shows.
Yes, so if anything happens, love, I can jump up.
Did you enjoy it?
Did you like doing it?
I loved doing it.
Is there some tension here?
Has Sally parked her tanks on your lawn?
Are you getting...?
The Chase is safe.
Don't worry.
Don't worry about your pension, you're going to be OK.

Stop doing a quiz show, I do quiz shows.
AUDIENCE LAUGHS
Just calm down, you're fine, you're very good.Thanks, Jim, thanks, man.
OK, Chris McCausland is here, everyone,
great comic, of course,
but just tell me, what have you been up to recently?
I've been practising me handwriting, Brad.
I have been blind for so long, I haven't written anything
down in over 25 years.
Is that true? Yeah, yeah.
And I never thought that when it was finally called upon,
it would be for prime time BBC One.
LAUGHTER
Since we last worked together, Chris, I've had a haircut.
It smells good, mate.
I can definitely smell a slap head down there somewhere as well.
You're surrounded actually.
But there you are, our celebrities, everyone,
give them a round of applause. Thank you very much.
And on that note,
let's bring on tonight's first pair of Blankety Blankers,
because we want to play Blankety Blank.
Give them a round of applause, everyone.

Welcome, everyone.
Welcome to Lindsey and Pete, go to Lindsey first.
Hey, Lindsey, tell us where you're from, what do you do for a living?
I'm from Blackpool...
Wow, Blackpool, everyone!
APPLAUSE
Great town, Blackers, I love it,
OK, what do you do? I'm a teacher.
What sort of hobbies have you got, Lindsey?
Well, all sorts being from Blackpool,
I like fairground rides. Yeah, do you?
Yeah, I used to work on the Waltzers.
I used to press a button and shout, "Scream if you want to go faster."
"Make some noise for the Waltzer boys!"
Why did you ever leave that, that sounds like the best job ever?
I loved it.
Now, I've got to ask you this,
if, if by some quirk of fate, you wanted to win a prize tonight,
what do you fancy winning?
A new kitchen.
Oh! I really need a new...
LAUGHTER DROWNS HER OUT
I think you might be on the wrong show, Lindsey.
It's my dream.
We can get you some pots and pans. What about that?
Love to see you, I wish you luck.
OK, Pete, welcome to the show.
Whereabouts are you from, what do you do? My name's Pete.
Yeah, I know that. Yeah.
I just said that.
OK, so, Dave, what do you do?
Pete, where are you from?
I'm from East Lothian, up in Scotland.
What do you do? I'm a farmer.
OK, favourite type of animal.
Oh, I'm a big cow fan myself.
Yeah, me too.
Have you got any favourite cows?
Oh, well, because sometimes, Sal,
don't because you...
because you name them, don't you?
They've all got names. Yeah.That's where I was going.
So who's your favourite cow?
Dawn.Dawn.
OK, and if you were to win any prize tonight you wanted,
what would it be? I'm going to go with a car,
that would be nice.
I mean...
So, you and Lindsey are on the wrong gig.
She's going to get pots and pans, you'll get a map.
Here we go, let's crack on. All you've got to do
is match the missing blanks with our celebrities.
The one with the most matches plays our Supermatch game
where the top prize on offer is,
wait for it, a home jukebox!
ALL: Ooh!
That ain't all, by the way, because later on in the show,
you can go through to the grand final if you're lucky
for an even bigger prize, but more of that later.
Celebs, ready? ALL: Yeah.
Players, ready?
Let's play Blankety Blank.
I'm going to read you both a statement. All you've got to do
is fill in the missing blanks, it's as simple as that.
Right, Lindsey, you're playing first,
some of the questions will be harder than others.
So choose A or B. What do you want? A.OK, A it is.
Here we go.
Best of luck.
Oh, first up, you're first up, JC.
Jimmy Carr went to the zoo last week.
He was having a lot of fun
until one of the keepers threw him a fish
after mistaking him for a blank.
This is taking a turn, Bradley.
Is it?
OK, Jimmy Carr went to the zoo last week, he was having a lot of fun
until one of the keepers threw him a fish after mistaking him, Lindsey,
for a BLANK.
All right.
Once you've written down your answers for me, put your lights on.
Here we go.
Jimmy Carr went to the zoo last week. He was having a lot of fun
until one of the keepers threw him a fish after mistaking him for a...
Lindsey. Sea lion.
Sea lion.
ALL: Oh!
Aw!
Oh!
Oh, no.Sally,
mistaking him for a... I'm sorry, Jimmy.
Seal.A seal.
Can't accept, can't accept different animals.
Andi Oliver.
Penguin.Penguin.
Bad luck. Sorry.
Chris McCausland, what have you put up there?
A seal.Oh, seal, bad luck.
OK, JC what have you put?
Well, I thought initially it was going to be a hyena
because I've got like a ha-ha-ha.
And then I thought, maybe a donkey because of my ha-ha-ha.
Then I thought maybe a seal being attacked by a donkey
with a hyena watching, and I wrote seal.
OK, Sophie, what have you got?
I've got penguin as well.
Well, this is tricky.
Mel, what have you got?
Seal as well.
Brad, hang on a minute.
If you can tell us the difference between a seal and a sea lion,
then fair enough.
But if you can't, I think you've got to let her have it.
That's very kind of you to say, Chris, but if I was you,
I'd mind your own business, let me do the rules.
APPLAUSE
Since I said that rather well, Lindsey, you got nil.
ALL: Aw!
OK, all right. So we go to Pete.
Celebrities, get your pens at the ready. Good luck.
Pete, winning the lottery hasn't changed Farmer Giles' life much,
although I did see him working in the field yesterday
with a solid gold BLANK.
Winning the lottery hasn't changed Farmer Giles' life much,
although I did see him working in the field yesterday
with a solid gold BLANK.
Press your button, light up your desks for me, please.
OK, here we go, Pete.
Winning the lottery hasn't changed farmer Giles' life much,
although I did see him working in the field yesterday
with a solid gold... Tractor.Tractor!
Here we go, Sally Lindsey.
I put plough.
It's 18th century.
I'm sorry.
It was either or.
All right, Andi, what have you put?
I put or, tractor.
Chris McCausland.
I'm so embarrassed, I spelt tractor wrong.
Tractor it is, thank you. Brilliant.
Not embarrassed at all.
Tractor, absolutely right. JC, what have you got?
Just because you won the lottery, I thought it would be a gold digger.
ALL: Oh!
That's too clever, so I wrote tractor.
Sophie, what have you got?
I've got a tractor that I've drawn.
Mel, what have you got?
I went spade. Spade, digging implement
of course, yeah, that's the way it goes.
But four for Pete at the moment, he's in the lead.
A or B, you're running behind, so you get to go first. A.
A it is, all right.
Now here is your blank.
My doctor says I need to change my lifestyle
no more kebabs, less booze,
and I have to BLANK four times a week.
Might...
Well, I've been told NOT to blank four times a week.
LAUGHTER
My doctor...
My doctor says I need to change my lifestyle.
No more kebabs, less booze
and I have to BLANK four times a week.
Lindsey.
Wow, this is tricky.
Don't forget to press your buttons when you're ready.
Thank you, celebs, here we go. Right, Lindsey.
Good luck, four to catch, five to go in front.
My doctor says I need to change my lifestyle, Lindsey.
No more kebabs, he says.
Less booze and I have to BLANK four times a week.
Exercise.
ALL: Ooh. Oh.
Was it meant to be the same?
I wrote exercise, yeah.
I haven't come to you yet!
This is my show.
I've got to ask everyone, I've got to go along the line.
I'll be I'll be honest with you,
there's a bit of good news coming.
Sally, what do you reckon?
Exercise.
Yes!
Andi Oliver.
Exercise, two up.
Chris McCausland.
Being too specific, I've put run.
That's a no, because we can't allow single sports.
OK, I wonder what Jimmy's put.
Exercise.
Now, then, this is crucial.
You've got to get exercise from Sophie, exercise from Melvin,
if you don't match with these two players,
you're out and Pete goes through
for that sensational home jukebox.
The tension.Here we go.
Sophie, we're looking for exercise.
You found it.Yes!
To go in the lead, Melvin.
I went for exercise.
Amazing.
It is now five to four.
Now, because you matched four in the first round,
you can only play alongside Sally and Melvin.
Others are out.
Good luck, mate.
I went to the cinema for the first time in ages.
I couldn't believe how much the popcorn cost.
Next time, I'll definitely smuggle in some snacks in my BLANK.
Oh, went to the cinema for the first time in ages,
couldn't believe how much the popcorn cost.
Next time, I'll definitely smuggle in some snacks in my BLANK.
You've got to write that down, Sal, and you, of course, Mel.
I've got it.OK. Pete went to the cinema for the first time in ages.
Couldn't believe how much the popcorn cost, mate,
it was extraordinary. Next time,
I'll definitely smuggle some snacks in my...
Bag.
Only needs the one for a tie-breaker.
That's a bit of luck, because that didn't sound like it's gone well.
I reckon even I could beat him at poker.
OK, they're so expensive, the popcorn in cinemas, Sal,
I'll definitely smuggle in some snacks in my...
Pocket.
Only Mel's answer can put you in the tie break and keep you in the game.
Mel.
In coat.
Oh, it's not the right answer, which, of course,
means Lindsey is the winner.
Put your hands together for Lindsey.
Come and join me, Lindsey, come on.
APPLAUSE
That's it.
Sadly, we've got to say goodbye to Pete, but you're not going home
empty handed, Pete, you're taking away, guess what, Jim?
A car?
A Blankety Blank cheque book and pen, everyone.
Good luck, you've been brilliant, thanks for playing.

Well done, Lindsey, this is the Supermatch.
Congratulations, you made it this far.
We asked members of the public,
I don't know why,
but we asked them to fill in a blank to a simple two-word phrase.
Now, if you can match one of the three top answers,
you'll win a prize.
Have a look at this.
Guess the third top answer and you'll win 500 quid?
The second answer gets you £750.
The top answer gets you this home jukebox
with Bluetooth CD, vinyl, USB radio capabilities,
as well as a year's music streaming subscription, everyone.
ALL: Ooh!
But it's not just any old jukebox,
it's got a USB!
I'll tell you what it isn't,
it's not a kitchen.
Good luck cooking your dinner with it.
You can put pots and pans on the top of it.
But dancing while you're cooking, though, Andy.
Dancing while you're cooking. Always. Sophie's good at that.
Sophie's good at that. We've all got that nailed, I think.
Now, listen, to make things easier for you,
of course, you can ask three of our celebrities for help,
or you can just do your own thing, of course.
Here we go, reveal the Supermatch, let's have a look at it.
It is BLANK brush.
Oh, this is good.
BLANK brush.
Now, who would like to help you? Anyone?
I would like to pick Sally, please.
Hair brush.
Hair brush. Who else?
Jimmy.JC.
Maybe Basil Brush.
Yes. What I was thinking.
Someone else? Melvin. I will go toothbrush.
Oh, good.
Three great answers, I've got to say.
Hair, Basil, tooth.
Now, you can do your own thing or choose one of those.
What do you think?
Oh, I'm going to go for... tooth.Toothbrush.
Let's find out. Let's reveal the third top answer,
of course, for £500.
500 quid.
The second short answer is...
Basil. Well done, Jimmy.
Top answer, which would have got you the home Juke box.
APPLAUSE
Well, this is no problem.
You've got 500 quid. More importantly, you go through
to the head-to-head later on.
Give it up for Lindsey, everyone.

Lovely to meet you, Nic and Shaan.
Come to you first, Nic, what do you do? Where are you from?

One of them?
So you met Rufus, Cromer last year,
you crowned Miss Cromer.
Oh yes, yes, carry on.
We were there on holidays,
so my husband took Rufus up to meet you
and you patted Rufus and said hello.
But I was a bit star-struck and shy,
so I just waited by your car...
..and as you came past,
I took a selfie of me and the back of your head
and I tugged at your suit and then you waved.
I love you, Nic,
you are amazing, by the way.
I want to go on holiday with you!
You tugged at his suit?
I like touching famous people or people...
I can't get over you saying you were shy.
It seems extraordinary.

A fox is a dog.

You've been ripped off again. What have you bought?
You're walking two foxes every morning are, you?
You're a lunatic.

he reads your BLANK instead.
Did you say your barber?
Indeed. Times are tough, Andi.
So my barber is branching out into fortune-telling,

LAUGHTER

I think he more famously wears big glasses, though, mate.
I'm not going to go with your judgment there because you're blind.
And I still got it right!
LAUGHTER
APPLAUSE
Do you know what this means?
