  • If you're casting people for a game show, you want folks that are good on camera.

  • But you also want folks who will be evenly matched,

  • whose areas of knowledge overlap enough with the game and with each other

  • that they can put up a good fight.

  • With that in mind, please welcome Inés,

  • who has a PhD from Oxford in the biomechanics of insect flight,

  • and Toby, who is one of Britain's leading experts

  • in Pokémon.

  • I'm sorry, Toby!

  • [surprised noise]

  • Welcome to the Game Garage. Today we are playing Cash and Grab, with:

  • Bird Keeper Toby, hello.

  • And Inés from Draw Curiosity.

  • In front of you, there is the money box.

  • The box is real, but the money is fake. Those are our magical dollars.

  • Today they are pegged to the South African Rand.

  • The more you pull out of there,

  • the more money you could be going home with.

  • Three rounds, all you have to do is answer some questions

  • and then pull out the money. How hard can it be?

  • Round one, it's very simple, I'm going to ask you some questions,

  • you're going to answer them on the buzzers.

  • The first of you two to get to three points

  • can start pulling money out of that box

  • with these chopsticks.

  • -Okay. -They're going to go just there.

  • I'm, like, highly dyspraxic.

  • -Oh man, uh... -I am so clumsy.

  • I can't use-- I'm that guy at Wagamama's who asks for a fork or a spoon.

  • So the good news is: you don't have to hold them

  • in one hand like you usually do.

  • Oh, okay, I can whatever.

  • I had a Japanese neighbour teach me how to eat crisps with chopsticks.

  • Oh, you'd better hope...

  • But I'm not sure that'll work here.

  • You'd better hope you get to three first, Toby.

  • -Wow. -That's all I'm saying.

  • Okay, hope I'm good at the questions.

  • As long as the money comes through and out using those chopsticks, that's fine.

  • It's got to get in your bucket.

  • Does the money have to come out whole or can we stick a hole through them?

  • If you can somehow manage enough force with the chopsticks to pierce the money,

  • sure, as long as it comes out through that hole

  • with the chopsticks, that's fine.

  • Once it's out, use your hands, use whatever to get it into your bucket,

  • but it's got to come out with those chopsticks.

  • All right, so, three questions to start.

  • Whoever gets to three first, start pulling money.

  • The other person is going to keep answering questions

  • and they're going to have to get three more.

  • Doesn't matter what you're on at the time,

  • it's three to start and three to stop.

  • Fingers on buzzers please.

  • I'm just excited to use the buzzer, honestly.

  • Genuinely, I've never used a buzzer before, for anything like this.

  • I'm just hoping I do well at the...

  • Having never been on a game show before, I'm ready.

  • You haven't been on one now.

  • I knew the Scooby-Doo one.

  • There was some there that you would have got without the panic.

  • Those were tough, not even I knew those!

  • Scooby-Doo! I know that one!

  • To be fair, "what do honeybees collect?" is just a--

  • Honey, wow.

  • That's a brutal question.

  • Yeah.

  • When you said that I knew it was a trick.

  • All right, we're going to count that up

  • and we'll see how well you did in a moment.

  • Does this count, or are these?

  • No it wasn't in the bucket at the end,

  • but we'll count that up and we'll see how you did in a moment.

  • How was that? Was that, uh...

  • It went well for you(!)

  • I liked it. I'm sorry!

  • No, it's great, and you really went for it with those chopsticks.

  • There was some genuinely vicious questions there,

  • and when you're panicking.

  • I'm just happy I got the Scooby-Doo one.

  • I was remembering those questions thinking,

  • "wow those are quite--"

  • Inés, you got quite a lot of money out there,

  • and quite a few of the colourful high value notes as well.

  • -$99. -Oh wow. I'm doing well.

  • When the clock starts you can immediately start pulling money out with the chopsticks.

  • I'll keep asking you questions.

  • Get one right and you can switch to forks.

  • Next one right, you can switch to the tongs.

  • Third one right, get rid of the implements, just start grabbing with your hands.
