Stephen Fry:
Where does the saying 'saved by the bell' come from?

Jack Dee:
[hits his buzzer, then grimaces] Oh no, I know what's gonna happen now. It's gonna be, I'm gonna get the klaxon for this. Is it boxing? Is it a boxing reference?

Stephen Fry:
Yes!

Jack Dee:
Oh.

Alan Davies:
Is it - is this where the bells gonna go off…

Sue Perkins:
[whispering] Don't do it!

Alan Davies:
...Is it going back to being buried alive?

[The forfeit klaxon goes off, with the words "buried alive" on the screens]

Jimmy Carr:
How can you get it wrong after he's got it right?
