:14:43. > :14:53.points, do you think? He didn't get very many! Out of 380...

:14:53. > :14:54.

:14:54. > :15:04.It is below 50. Below 15? It was 14. There we are. Andy, I am sorry,

:15:04. > :15:10.I was close! For next film is about something whose success rate was

:15:10. > :15:12.slightly higher, Marty Jopson has been finding out about how it goes

:15:12. > :15:17.up and down. Since skyscrapers began dominating

:15:17. > :15:20.the skyline is, we have been taking the lift, press the button, choose

:15:20. > :15:26.your floor and weight. Most lifts are the same, but there is one where

:15:27. > :15:30.you never have to wait. In Sheffield, there is Britain's

:15:30. > :15:35.tallest university building and inside is Britain's longest

:15:35. > :15:40.Paternoster lift, a passenger lift with no doors, no buttons and no

:15:40. > :15:44.stopping, so how does it work? It continuously rotates with each cabin

:15:44. > :15:49.suspended like the seats on a ferris wheel. As it moves up the lift

:15:49. > :15:55.shaft, it is locked into side rails and detaches as it goes over the

:15:55. > :16:00.top, swinging free, until it locks into the rails in the down shaft. It

:16:00. > :16:05.is safe to travel over the top and down the bottom, but if shaken too

:16:05. > :16:10.hard, it can get stuck. Its unique engineering has its devotees. Graham

:16:10. > :16:14.lays claim to being the biggest fan in Britain. So where does the name

:16:14. > :16:18.Paternoster come from? It is the first two words of the Lord's prayer

:16:18. > :16:24.in Latin, which is what people say when they are holding a rosary,

:16:24. > :16:29.which is arranged in a loop similar to the cabin is on a Paternoster.

:16:29. > :16:34.They are a little bit of history. Today Graham has come to Sheffield

:16:35. > :16:44.to write this one for the first time. You can go first. It is OK, it

:16:45. > :16:53.

:16:53. > :16:58.I just want to stay on it. Invented by a London company in the 1880s,

:16:58. > :17:07.the Paternoster did not really take off in Britain until the 1960s.

:17:07. > :17:11.Elaine from English explained why. It is the great era of motorways,

:17:11. > :17:20.escalators, faster lifts, and it is all part of the dynamism, speed and

:17:20. > :17:23.mobility. Universities were the real cutting edge of design in the 1960s.

:17:23. > :17:28.Architects experimented, installing Paternoster lips, and students

:17:28. > :17:33.eagerly adopted them. The stud and surge in popularity was abruptly

:17:33. > :17:37.halted when the 1974 health and safety act prevented any new ones

:17:37. > :17:41.being built. Concerns about accidents and disability access

:17:41. > :17:45.meant many remaining ones were shot down and stripped out. Despite this,

:17:45. > :17:50.Sheffield University decided this one should be saved, adding

:17:51. > :17:57.emergency stop buttons and laser sensors to prevent accidents.

:17:57. > :18:04.are actually 140 ways of stopping it and only one way to start it.

:18:04. > :18:08.Students often ride it over the top. They pretend to come down the other

:18:08. > :18:15.side as if they have been upside down, but that is to be discouraged.

:18:15. > :18:19.If we put it to the test against a regular lift, who would win? I hope

:18:19. > :18:26.the Paternoster wins. We have gathered 100 students to travel from

:18:26. > :18:30.the bottom to the top. Three, two, one, go! 50 will ride the

:18:30. > :18:40.conventional lift and 50 on the Paternoster with engineer Brian

:18:40. > :18:45.

:18:45. > :18:49.stream of passengers every 13 seconds. Meanwhile, only ten have

:18:49. > :18:59.made it to the top so far in the conventional lift with the remainder

:18:59. > :19:00.

:19:00. > :19:04.languishing at the bottom. Have we won? Have we ever! The Paternoster

:19:04. > :19:08.took 50 students to the 18th floor in nine minutes and 20 seconds. In

:19:08. > :19:12.the same time, the conventional lift only managed to transport ten people

:19:12. > :19:15.to the top, so it is not simply a relic of the 60s but still a

:19:15. > :19:21.practical way of moving people about. The Paternoster has got to be

:19:21. > :19:27.the world's strangest passenger lift, a simple design, yet one that

:19:27. > :19:33.requires a leap of faith by those that use it. I for one, though, have

:19:33. > :19:37.found using the Paternoster and uplifting experience.

:19:38. > :19:41.Brilliant! I could see you in one of those in your tower. It is bad

:19:41. > :19:48.enough getting up the stairs when I get home from the pub, that is

:19:48. > :19:54.terrifying. Health and safety would not allow that! Imagine it at

:19:54. > :19:58.university, I think it is fraught with danger! So Millionaire is back,

:19:59. > :20:05.and we were quite surprised to learn that there has not been a

:20:05. > :20:09.Millionaire since 2006. Is that right? It has been a long time. I do

:20:09. > :20:14.think that the economy has got a lot to do with it. People are really

:20:14. > :20:17.frightened, understandably, of risking money. Things are hard. We

:20:17. > :20:22.have noticed that in the last couple of weeks with members of the public,

:20:22. > :20:27.they are really up for it, but at �20,000, they know the answer but

:20:27. > :20:34.they don't want to risk losing 19 ground. Difficult for you and the

:20:34. > :20:39.producers. You cannot say, go on, have a go! I think we all get lost

:20:39. > :20:44.in the world of footballers' salaries, and most people in this

:20:44. > :20:51.country earn something around �20,000 a year less tax. Millionaire

:20:51. > :20:54.is tax-free money. If you suddenly got �20,000 in 2013, you are really

:20:54. > :20:59.thinking, I don't want to lose 19,000. The other reason why, I love

:20:59. > :21:05.doing it, but the reason we have not been giving away �1 million for a

:21:05. > :21:09.while, it will happen, we have done so many celebrity shows. There is a

:21:09. > :21:14.thirst for celebrity things, and celebrities will never risk that

:21:14. > :21:19.sort of money, because it is charity money, you know? So you get Stephen

:21:19. > :21:26.Fry, he says, I know the answer, but just in case I am wrong, I cannot

:21:26. > :21:29.risk it, because I could lose children with leukaemia �150,000. So

:21:29. > :21:34.that is why I love members of the public, it is proper, it is how we

:21:34. > :21:39.started, and it is like changing money, but it is noticeably tough,

:21:39. > :21:45.it has been these last few weeks. And now you have got this app, this

:21:45. > :21:51.new device. Play along at home, you get annoyed with it, you stupid

:21:52. > :21:59.woman, you must know the answer! A lifeline, oh, please! Now you can

:21:59. > :22:07.play along at home. You play this a lot. If I am a long flight, I will

:22:07. > :22:11.watch for 30 hours until I get to 1 million. 30 hours of me! She will

:22:11. > :22:16.not give up until she gets to the million. It is important for you to

:22:16. > :22:20.keep it fresh, we said at the top it has been going 15 years, in America

:22:20. > :22:25.they saturated the market. They ran it for two years, every single

:22:25. > :22:30.night. That is very American. It started like us, ten nights in a

:22:30. > :22:33.series, but they milked it to death, it was a huge hit, but it was dead

:22:33. > :22:37.within two years. I could not be working at the sort of rate we used

:22:37. > :22:42.to do it. Every night of the week, that was when I was doing the

:22:42. > :22:49.breakfast show. We do quite a few a year, all specials, with members of

:22:49. > :22:55.the public also liberties, and it is much more manageable. And I still

:22:55. > :22:59.love it. And it is on tonight. Again! Time now for another blast

:22:59. > :23:05.from the Eurovision past, you need to guess the year and how many

:23:05. > :23:13.points they got. I got quite close on the last one. Please step

:23:13. > :23:23.forward, Jemini with a J. # cry to me, baby. # must Must have

:23:23. > :23:24.

:23:24. > :23:34.been crazy. # Lied to me, baby.

:23:34. > :23:45.

:23:45. > :23:51.I was still doing radio, they were about 2004. Oh! It was 2003! And the

:23:51. > :23:57.points? I don't think they got very many, I think they got stitched up,

:23:57. > :24:07.I think they got about 20 or something. Sorry, guys, I am

:24:07. > :24:11.insulting you. How many did you get? We got a big fat zilch. You were

:24:11. > :24:17.stitched up like Belarus. You were the only ones to get nul points, so

:24:17. > :24:23.that is a claim to fame. What are you up to now? I work in retail

:24:23. > :24:30.management. I have got my own business, but we still do the odd

:24:30. > :24:37.gigs, twice a month, still singing. Did you have a lot of stick at the

:24:37. > :24:44.Eurovision? Yeah, we did, it was expected. I will have it emblazoned

:24:44. > :24:49.on my gravestone when I die. You are the only one, it is a kind of fame.

:24:49. > :24:54.Scousers will take it on and get on with it. Thanks for coming in, we

:24:54. > :24:58.thoroughly enjoyed it. Europe is proving a headache for David

:24:58. > :25:04.Cameron, not only with UKIP snapping at his heels, but some of its top

:25:04. > :25:07.teams say they would vote to leave. We have been to market still has the

:25:07. > :25:11.big European question that no-one has been brave enough to ask.

:25:11. > :25:15.It is these you that is dividing the country, they say we are putting

:25:15. > :25:19.more into it than we get out, they say we are being slammed in the

:25:19. > :25:27.never regions by tactical voting, they say it is time to ask whether

:25:27. > :25:34.we are in or out. I think a lot of people would say no to Europe. But

:25:34. > :25:44.yes to Eurovision. Every time I have watched it, we have missed. Pull

:25:44. > :25:46.

:25:46. > :25:51.out. Out of Europe? But what about Eurovision Song Contest? It is

:25:51. > :25:58.embarrassing for our country. in the worst state of our lives.

:25:58. > :26:06.What about European Song contest? But the quantity of what Britain

:26:06. > :26:10.has... Careful what you say!I am not impressed. What about a

:26:10. > :26:14.referendum for Eurovision? To be honest, if we don't stay in Europe,

:26:14. > :26:22.it wouldn't make much sense to stay in Eurovision. Some people would be

:26:22. > :26:29.upset. It is rubbish! We need to stay in, otherwise other countries

:26:29. > :26:34.will not be able to do it. We don't win a lot of things, but we still

:26:34. > :26:40.carry on because that is our spirit. We can run our pop industry without

:26:40. > :26:47.Eurovision. We can run our pop industry and our country. It is

:26:47. > :26:55.fuddy-duddy business now. We always lose! So? It is the taking part that

:26:55. > :27:00.counts! Is it? Justin Rowlatt is never afraid to

:27:00. > :27:08.ask the right questions. Chris, it is time for some or Eurovision

:27:08. > :27:18.classics! I have done quite well, it is not very good for my street cred.

:27:18. > :27:25.

:27:26. > :27:35.# I do view my heart and my soul, baby, give me your love.

:27:36. > :27:41.

:27:41. > :27:47.# Better the devil you know than the It is still there, whatever it was!

:27:47. > :27:56.So, Chris, year and points. You were playing with one of my kids who is

:27:56. > :28:06.now very big and growing up, it was about... 1990 something. Yes...It

:28:06. > :28:09.

:28:09. > :28:14.was about 1993. Come on! And the points. I don't know, one! She came

:28:14. > :28:23.second to Ireland, so she would have got 150 or something. 164, well

:28:23. > :28:27.done. I have done extraordinarily well. How do you think Bonnie will

:28:28. > :28:32.be feeling now? The pressure is mounting as we get towards Saturday.

:28:32. > :28:37.The nerves will be creeping in, but she will be at a stage where she has

:28:37. > :28:40.done that many rehearsals, you just want to get on and do it. You are so

:28:40. > :28:45.excited, the butterflies in your stomach, you feel anxious and you

:28:46. > :28:53.start to look at the other artists, thinking, she was good, he was good,

:28:53. > :28:58.oh! She is very experienced, she has got a great gravel voice. With all

:28:58. > :29:03.that experience, I am sure you will agree... She has been on a million

:29:03. > :29:09.stages, it seems like she is having a ball. Good luck to Bonnie and

:29:09. > :29:13.thank you for coming in, both of you. Thank you to the contestants,
