TRANSCRIPT
Paula
So, Graham and Harry have 2 letters and a fail. Astrid and Eden are doing well. And Ned and Clare? Well, not great so far…
Ned
OK, Clare, my love, we can do this one. These letters must mean something, and we've got a spray can. Hmm.
Clare
You always think you know it, don't you?
Ned
I know what to do sometimes. Come on, let's look at these letters. L, e, a, k, e street. Is that a street?
Clare
We always fail.
Ned
Look! This says 'Leake Street'. Let's look for Leake Street. The letter will be there.
Clare
Fine. Let's go then.
Clare
I love Ned. I do. But he always thinks he knows what to do and he never does. We sometimes argue, it's true. Actually, we always argue, but I love him.
Ned
I've always loved Clare. Yeah, she's sometimes a bit angry with me, and we sometimes argue, but I love her. I, erm, actually have a secret. I've never done anything like this before, but in the challenge I'm going to…
Clare
I think you did it! Ned, the spray can, the spray can – the letter's here!
Ned
I told you I get it right sometimes. Come on. Let's find the letter.
Ned
I often paint, draw – I love art. Here is something I did for Clare. It's Clare. I sometimes put them up in our house to surprise her.
Off camera
What do you think about Ned's art, Clare?
Ned
It's here. It's here!
Paula
So, there's a love story for you. Sometimes they argue and sometimes they don’t. Ned and Clare have their first letter, and now they get a clue to the next location.
Graham and Harry have found a letter at The Monument.
And Astrid and Eden have three letters – they are doing very well. And now they’re looking for a fourth letter.
Astrid
An elephant statue? I have never seen an elephant statue in London.
Eden
Wait, wait, wait. There are elephants at Trafalgar Square!
Paula
Elephants? Roar!
