(subject: jack.)

Paul Merton: Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water, Jack fell...

BUZZ

Nicholas Parsons: Peter Jones challenged.

Peter Jones: Most improbable! You don’t go up hills to get water, water flows down hill.

Paul: No, but, but a friend of their's had left a bucket of water up on top of the hill for them to pick up. They were strange people, I can’t explain their behaviour but...

Peter Jones: I don’t think they were up to any good! Just a story they told their parents!

Nicholas Parsons: Peter, we love your challenge because everybody knows it’s a well-known nursery rhyme except those people living in China...

Paul: We’ve lost the people in China! I wouldn’t worry about them any more!

Nicholas Parsons: The people in China...

Paul: They’ve got problems of their own!

Nicholas Parsons: That’s what I was going to say! You, you’re not setting them a fine example at the moment. This is a nursery rhyme, if you wish to continue, you have 21 seconds, Paul, starting now.

Paul: Jack fell down and broke his crown and his wife came tumbling after.

BUZZ

Derek Nimmo: How do we know she was his wife? She might have been his little bit of stuff, we don’t know it was his wife. There’s nothing in the poem to establish that.

Paul: Jack and Jill are...

Derek Nimmo: He went out with this woman, he went up the top of the hill with her, it wasn’t his wife.

Peter Jones: No I think there’s every indication that it wasn’t his wife!

Paul: If it wasn’t his wife...

Derek Nimmo: It’s already been established by Peter Jones that they were up to no good!
