Rob guesses the lying old man’s occupation

Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.

Hugh greets Rob, and politely shakes his hand. Rob then asks Alex if Hugh is his dad. He quite quickly figures out that Hugh had worked for the NHS and was a doctor. After Alex informs him that he needs to find out exactly what type of doctor Hugh worked as, Rob says “That’s niche. Are you mad?” He asks Hugh whether he is a “brain doctor”, a dentist, or “Doctor Pepper”, and becomes gradually more frustrated with each guess. He then asks if Hugh is a psychologist, and claims that he made need one. He eventually has the idea to ask Hugh to mime his profession. When Hugh clasps his hand over his mouth, Rob immediately guesses that he is an anaesthetist. Hugh drops his head onto the table in relief. In the studio, Alex confirms that Rob had also guessed “Captain Birdseye” and “head of the NHS”, and that he’d said the word ‘doctor’ 49 times in total. Rob completes the task in 10 minutes and 49 seconds, earning 2 points.
