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?
