Performance[]
Julian Clary, Lucy Beaumont & Sam Campbell: Julian and Sam gathered and rearranged the items while awaiting Lucy's instructions.

Lucy said 27 forbidden words, while Julian and Sam got 7 things in the correct place, so they received 3 points each for the most accurate recreation.
Sue Perkins & Susan Wokoma: Sue instructed Susan in a military way, but panicked when she kept saying the word "plinth," and Susan had to tell her to calm down.
Sue said 9 forbidden words and Susan got 6 things in the correct place, so they received 3 points each for the fewest word mistakes.
