Dale's Supermarket Sweep

The game consisted of three teams of two, each with a clock that started with 60 seconds on it. The teams then attempted to add as much time to their clock by answering questions and riddles posed by host Dale Winton. Each contestant was apparently briefed to answer in the format:
 “<the answer> Dale”. 

Here are some examples:
