Episode 3 of 13, We Need Answers, Series 2

Duration: 30 minutes

Anarchic comedy game show in which celebrity guests answer questions set by the public. Mark Watson hosts, Tim Key is in the question master's chair and Alex Horne provides expert analysis from a booth. Two celebrities battle it out to be crowned the winner and avoid the shame of donning 'The Clogs of Defeat'.

Comedienne and comic actress Miranda Hart competes against poet and broadcaster Ian McMillan.

The rules are simple - contestants must match their answer to the one given by a text answering service. Questions range from 'Can Miranda lick a cloud?' to 'Does Ian's internal monologue rhyme?'.

The show also features a cunning physical challenge which pits the contestants against each other. Miranda and Ian see who is best at judging a minute ... with buckets on their heads.
