Ben went on to remind the pair: There is just 50 between you both and now we will find out who will make it to the final.

Turning to George, he asked: Youre just ahead, which means you get to take on the next question or would you like to offer it to John?

I think its going to be the Beach Boys, George guessed. Ben was left stunned as he questioned: Beach Boys?
