0:00:02 > 0:00:05# We're not going out
0:00:05 > 0:00:06# We're not staying in
0:00:06 > 0:00:09# Just hanging around with my head in a spin
0:00:09 > 0:00:12# But there is no need to scream and shout
0:00:12 > 0:00:15# We're not going out
0:00:15 > 0:00:18# We are not going out. #
0:00:20 > 0:00:22WATER DRIPS
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Is this because of what I suggested after we watched
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Fifty Shades Of Grey?
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Happy birthday!
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Can you put it back on again?
0:00:41 > 0:00:43It's an escape room.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45- A what? - Well, you must have heard of them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- It's basically a room... - And you have to escape.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51- So you do know! - No, I just understand words.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54They're like a big interactive puzzle.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56The challenge is you're trapped somewhere
0:00:56 > 0:00:57and you have to try and find your way out.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Right, well, call me Harry Houdini,
0:01:00 > 0:01:02but my instincts are pointing that way.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04We haven't started yet.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06The idea is that you're faced with problems
0:01:06 > 0:01:08that make the situation more difficult.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10- What sort of problems?- How do, son?
0:01:13 > 0:01:15- Where's the bar? - There's no bar, Frank.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Like I told you on the phone, it's an escape room.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19When I was married to Lee's mum,
0:01:19 > 0:01:21an escape room was what we called the bar.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23HE LAUGHS
0:01:23 > 0:01:25It must have been a very difficult one, Dad,
0:01:25 > 0:01:26because you were in there for days.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- Happy birthday, Lee! - Happy birthday!
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Well, what do you think, Mum?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Oh, it's so exciting! Who knows what might happen!
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Yeah, what is going to happen?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39I've no idea. When you book online, they tell you nothing.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42I hope you're not going to make the same mistake as last year, Lucy.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Ah, yes, the notorious Thorpe Park outing.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49I don't know why everyone keeps banging on about that.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Those rides are supposed to make you scream.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54When you're on them, yes, but not while you're in the queue.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Oh, this is...lovely.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Sorry we're late.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Yeah, God knows how we're going to cope with an escape room.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06It took Anna three hours to get out of the bathroom.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Let's crack on and try to get this solved,
0:02:10 > 0:02:12then we can get to Wetherspoons.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15It's Free-Pie-With-Every-Fourth-Pint Day today.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19How lovely, Frank. You can't buy class.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20True, but you've certainly tried.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Look, there's an envelope on the table!
0:02:24 > 0:02:26You're the birthday boy, Lee, you should open it.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Are you sure?- Yeah. What's the scariest thing it could be?
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Tickets for Thorpe Park.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37"You will see a padlock on the door.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41"Use it to lock the door from the inside."
0:02:41 > 0:02:44So...the adventure begins!
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Oh, hang on, don't do that. We'll be locked in!
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Yeah, maybe I should grab my phone from the car first
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- in case of an emergency. - Oh, for God's sake, Toby, relax!
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Sorry, my husband does have an irritating tendency
0:02:55 > 0:02:57to be overly cautious.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59I don't know, I did say, "Until death do us part."
0:03:01 > 0:03:03No, the rules are, no phones.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05They were very specific about that on the e-mail.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Wendy Adams doesn't cheat.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Well done.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I hope there's someone close by in case we need to open this door.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Well, I assume you were greeted by the organisers.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21No, we followed the sign that said, "Go straight to the cellar".
0:03:21 > 0:03:22- Well, that's what we did.- And us.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Look, it's all perfectly safe.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27They'll be monitoring us...somehow.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Lee, they'll open the door in an emergency.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- You mean, if we want to go and buy...- Not for drinks, Frank.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38This is the worst lock-in ever.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39So, now what?
0:03:39 > 0:03:43When my friend Pippa did a zombie escape room, they told her nothing.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45She just had to start looking for clues.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49I say we begin by examining the room.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Ask yourself, what would Holmes do?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- Sherlock?- No, Eamonn.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Presumably we should start by taking this cover off the table.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Hm! It appears to be some kind of bomb.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09How exciting! Let's press the button!
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Don't do that!
0:04:11 > 0:04:13It's not going to kill you, Lee.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14These places work on repeat business.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I know it's not going to kill us, I'm not an idiot.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21But it might, you know, shoot out sparks and make a loud noise.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23You mean like the ghost train?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25If anyone else mentions what I was like
0:04:25 > 0:04:27at Thorpe Park last year, I'll...
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Scream?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Fine!
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Oh, my goodness, Lee, what have you done?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- We've only got 60 minutes to live! - You what?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Don't worry, you were obviously supposed to press the button.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41There's no game without the bomb.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44So we clearly need to defuse it.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46There's something else written on the back of this note.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48"Look inside the cupboard door."
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Well, I've already looked, it's empty.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52No, you looked behind the door.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54You didn't look inside the door.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Ah, well done, Frank! Very clever.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Yes, well done, Frank.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01All those years of hiding things
0:05:01 > 0:05:03from prison wardens not completely wasted.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06It's a videotape.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Oh, it's bang up to date, this experience, isn't it?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12What else is in there, a ZX Spectrum and the cast of Byker Grove?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Greetings, my new friends, and welcome to my humble abode.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21It may not look like much but, believe me,
0:05:21 > 0:05:25it has everything you need to make your day go with a bang.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28I recognise that actor. Was he in Doctor Who?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- He's not an actor. - MAN LAUGHS EVILLY
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Yeah, you can say that again.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35He's a deranged madman, remember?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38So, can we all get into the swing of the game, please?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Well, I'm sure I've seen him before somewhere.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42MAN LAUGHS EVILLY
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Yeah, well, it wasn't the BAFTAs, I'm telling you that.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49By now, you're probably all wondering, "Why am I here?"
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Yep.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Allow me to explain.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Life, as I see it, is one big test.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00And I failed, or so society told me.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04This handsome fellow was me a year ago, with my wife Penny.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07This was before I was sacked from my job -
0:06:07 > 0:06:10or streamlining, as they called it.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Three months after this photo was taken, she left me.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15She took the kids with her.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17All because I failed to make the grade.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Well, now, I'm putting you to the test.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Pass and you leave in one piece.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Fail...
0:06:26 > 0:06:28HE LAUGHS EVILLY
0:06:28 > 0:06:31..and you leave in hundreds of pieces.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35You probably think I've got a screw loose,
0:06:35 > 0:06:39but don't keep yourselves in the dark for too long.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I reckon that last bit was a clue.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Oh, well done, Toby. Nothing gets past you.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Hard to believe this is my husband's first escape room.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Did you not do the zombie escape room, Toby?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53No. But I do share a bedroom with Anna.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Maybe we have to search for something.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Let's think outside the box.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02He said his wife's name was Penny, short for Penelope,
0:07:02 > 0:07:06who, as Homer tells us, was the wife of Odysseus.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09I suspect that is the key to solving this challenge.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Found it!
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Well, where did that come from?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Well, as he said, there was a screw loose, and there was,
0:07:14 > 0:07:16on the back of this unit.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19So I took off a panel and I found this.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- He beat you to it again, Dad.- Hm.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Yes, or as Homer tells us, "D'oh"!
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Well done, Frank, you're clearly ahead of the rest of us.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Yes, well done, Frank.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Somehow managing to get inside the mind of a bitter,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34delusional alcoholic better than anyone else.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Well, open it, then. - How? It's a lock with numbers on.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- I think I've got it.- Go on!
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Was he the coroner in Midsomer Murders?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45It's Lee's birthday, try putting in his age.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47It's a three-digit padlock.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49All right, try putting in Geoffrey's age.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54It's quite clear to me how we should work this out.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56He said we wouldn't be in the dark for long.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Now, if that's as literal as his previous clue,
0:08:00 > 0:08:05all we have to do is switch the lights off, thus revealing...
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Oh, yeah, it's gone dark, Geoffrey.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Who'd have guessed that's what a light switch did?
0:08:10 > 0:08:11I assumed there'd be
0:08:11 > 0:08:13glow-in-the-dark numbers painted on the wall.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Can someone just turn the lights on, please?!
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Good God, switch them off again.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Frank, what are you doing?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23You see, there's two bulbs here.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26One's normal, one's ultraviolet.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28If I take out the normal one...
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- ..it just leaves... - Look! Frank, that's brilliant!
0:08:33 > 0:08:35How do you know about UV lights?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37They've got them in strip clubs.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48How intriguing!
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Ever worn handcuffs, Wendy?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54No, Frank, but I'm sure you've had to wear a few in your time.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- What's happening?!- Maybe they've turned them off because
0:09:01 > 0:09:02someone's about to get murdered!
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- I nominate Frank.- Will someone find the bloody switch?!
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- Found it! - Argh! That's not the switch!
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Sorry.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- Argh!- What's the matter? - Somebody just grabbed my arm!
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Calm down, it's just a game!
0:09:14 > 0:09:16They've put something on me! Get it off!
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Right, come on, who did this?
0:09:20 > 0:09:22It's probably part of the game.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Not everything that happens is part of the game, Dad.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27If I suddenly kick you in the bollocks, is that part of the game?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29I'd say it's worth a try.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32That door is padlocked from the inside,
0:09:32 > 0:09:33which means one of you lot must have done it.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36So whoever it was, get them off right now!
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Oh, calm down, Lee, it's not a real bomb!
0:09:38 > 0:09:40It probably just shoots out confetti.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Yes, in my face!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Yeah, it could go in his eye and cause an ocular trauma.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Oh, for God's sake, Toby,
0:09:47 > 0:09:50no-one ever had a traumatic experience triggered by confetti!
0:09:56 > 0:09:58There's something engraved on these.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00"Find the enemy within."
0:10:00 > 0:10:03If that message was on the handcuffs from the start,
0:10:03 > 0:10:05it means that whichever one of us did this to Lee
0:10:05 > 0:10:07is in cahoots with the organisers!
0:10:07 > 0:10:10How exciting! We've got a dirty rat!
0:10:11 > 0:10:14And it's obvious who - Lucy. She's the one that did the booking
0:10:14 > 0:10:16and the only one that's been in contact with them.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Not necessarily.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19When I booked, they asked me
0:10:19 > 0:10:21to provide the e-mail addresses of everyone in the group.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Seemed odd at the time, but now I know why.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- So, it's not you?- No.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- Anna?- It's not me.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- Toby?- Not me either.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31- Dad?- It's not me.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Well, it's a brilliant system, Lee.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39It's only a matter of time before one of them cracks.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40This is pointless. It could be any one of us!
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Well, except Lee. It was a surprise, so I didn't give his e-mail.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45So how are we going to find out?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48I say the good, old-fashioned way, let's beat it out of them.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Yes, good idea. I say we start with Frank.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55There must be a logical way of working out this.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59We need to examine all the clues in the room.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03And I say we start...with that swan over there.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Hang on, why is he in charge?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Because in any hostage situation,
0:11:07 > 0:11:08a natural order begins to take place.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11One person becomes the leader,
0:11:11 > 0:11:14others decide to stand on a table and become a stripper.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18This is how the Nazis started.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21All locked in an underground bunker with their husbands and wives?
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Actually, I think that's how the Nazis ended.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Well, I'm not happy him taking the lead.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29All right, Frank, if you feel so strongly,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- why don't you examine the clues? - I will.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39What's the least humiliating for you -
0:11:39 > 0:11:41if I take it down, or I lift you up?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- Taking it down would be better. - I'll lift you up, then.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48How do you reach those magazines on the top shelf?
0:11:49 > 0:11:56So, how could this swan tell us who the secret agent is?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Well, what do we know about swans?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Well, a female swan is called a pen.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Perhaps we could use a feather as a clue.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07A young swan is a signet, also a type of ring,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09which might relate to the handcuffs.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- A mute swan...- It was Wendy.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- What?- My dead swan.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Swap the letters around and you get -
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Wendy Adams.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Oh, don't be ridiculous!
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Well, it's either that or someone called Demys Wanda did it.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26It can't be her! Tell them, Wendy!
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Frank's right, it was me!
0:12:29 > 0:12:31I hate this bloody game.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35I got a mysterious e-mail a few days ago saying,
0:12:35 > 0:12:38"Your secret mission is to handcuff someone to the bomb.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42"If you succeed, your team will be rewarded with an extra clue."
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- Well, what clue?- Once you worked out it was me, I'm supposed to say,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47"You need to look where I made my deal".
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- Well, what does that mean? - I've no idea.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Where did you make your deal? That's clearly where the next clue is.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Please say a Threshers.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Let's think about this.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00If Wendy's agreement was made by e-mail,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03well, one might say, on the web. Hm!
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Whereabouts is there a web? Well, spiders have webs, and...
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- Found it!- Oh, for God's sake!
0:13:09 > 0:13:12She made the deal in secret,
0:13:12 > 0:13:16which some might say is under the table.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19This was stuck under the table.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- Bravo!- Very good!
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Ah, please, come on, this is getting embarrassing.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26I'm sure you can handle it.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28No, I meant embarrassing for you.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Well, well, well!
0:13:33 > 0:13:37If you're watching this, it means you've passed the first test.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Unlike me, thrown on the scrapheap at 45.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43But you've got more important things to worry about,
0:13:43 > 0:13:45like being handcuffed to a bomb.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47BEEPING
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Believe me, you don't want to be
0:13:49 > 0:13:51within half a mile when that thing goes off.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- See!- But guess what?
0:13:53 > 0:13:57I'm going to be helpful and give you the key to defuse the bomb.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Oh, how wonderfully generous of the mentally unhinged gobshite!
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Just pause this tape and break away the plaster
0:14:03 > 0:14:05on the left-hand side of the TV
0:14:05 > 0:14:08and there you'll find the key.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12- Stand back.- Seriously, stand back.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Toby is useless at DIY.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16He once put up some shelves
0:14:16 > 0:14:19and accidentally injured me two rooms away.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Accidentally.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34Two dolls.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36But each of them has got a key.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Which key do we use?
0:14:38 > 0:14:41"Which key do we use?" I hear you ask.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Well, that would be telling.
0:14:43 > 0:14:48One key defuses the bomb, the other one...detonates it!
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Well, which key is which?
0:14:49 > 0:14:54"Yeah, but which key is which?" I hear you ask.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Well, that would be telling.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58"Oh, just tell us, you irritating twat!"
0:14:58 > 0:15:01I hear me ask.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04"Can we have another clue?" I hear you ask.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Well, look a little deeper to see the bigger picture
0:15:07 > 0:15:10to find which key gives the best result.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- Well, what kind of clue is that? - Why don't we just guess which key?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16What's the worst that can happen?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Er...the bomb could explode in my face and disfigure me for life.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Why don't we just guess which key? What's the worst that can happen?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Let's think rationally.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28He said to look at the bigger picture.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30But there aren't any pictures.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Hang on, yes, there is.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- Where?- On that first tape.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39Remember? Earlier, he held up a picture of his wife.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- Clever!- Well, Dad has a keen eye for other people's wives.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47He told us to look closer, so let's do that.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Oh, my God! Look!
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- That's weird!- What is?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Lee, you're in the photograph.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57No, I'm not. It's probably someone who just looks like me!
0:15:57 > 0:16:01I wish I could tell you it was a Chuckle Brother,
0:16:01 > 0:16:02but it's definitely you.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- What's going on? - Probably just a coincidence.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09A coincidence?!
0:16:09 > 0:16:13I'm in that photo and I'm trapped in here, strapped to a ticking bomb!
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- Is it a wind-up? - Probably, if it's ticking.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Oh! I get it.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23- What?- You lot, you're all in on this, to freak me out.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- No, we're not. - If we wanted to scare you,
0:16:25 > 0:16:27we wouldn't need to do anything so elaborate.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30We'd just take you on the log flume again.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34I was the only one without a plastic poncho!
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Hang on, this is even odder than we thought.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- Why?- Because it's not just you in the photo. Toby's in it, too!
0:16:42 > 0:16:43What?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46That man chatting to Lee, it's you.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- Oh, yeah. - When was this picture taken?!
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Judging by Toby's jeans, I'd say 1983.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Snow-wash will have a revival.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01I know exactly where that photograph was taken.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03That is my department's Christmas party last year.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07Do you remember, Lee, you tagged along for the free food and drink?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Right, this is getting seriously creepy now.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11And I know why I recognise that guy now.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14I worked with him at the hospital.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- You knew him?- Well, hardly.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19He was in IT, in the department that I joined,
0:17:19 > 0:17:21but he left shortly after I'd started.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Left? He said on that tape he was sacked.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30What exactly was your job in this new department?
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- Doctor, of course.- Anything else?
0:17:32 > 0:17:37Well, I was brought in to implement some sort of efficiency programmes.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Which meant a bit of...streamlining.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- You got him the sack? - Well, I could be mistaken,
0:17:45 > 0:17:48it's difficult to remember, with all the staff that come and go.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49So all this could be real!
0:17:49 > 0:17:52That certainly explains the lack of drink.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Oh, my God!
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Excuse me. If you can all rejoin me on planet Earth for a moment?
0:17:58 > 0:18:03May I remind you that Lucy chose this experience, not vice versa.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Actually...that's not exactly how it happened.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11- What do you mean?- I didn't contact them, they contacted me.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13I got a random e-mail.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16It said, "Escape rooms - prices so cheap, we must be mad."
0:18:17 > 0:18:21Ooo! Please keep talking, this just gets better and better!
0:18:21 > 0:18:23I assume you checked out the company.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25They must have had a website or something?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28In the e-mail, he said he hadn't had a chance to set one up yet.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Said it was a brand-new experience and that we'd be the first.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34He didn't say anything about us being the last, did he?
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Look, he's not a maniac, this is all part of the game!
0:18:39 > 0:18:40I think.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45Of course, it's clearly part of the game, and Lucy's in on it.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- No, I'm not.- How on earth would this man have got your e-mail address?
0:18:48 > 0:18:52He was an IT expert, he could easily have hacked into my work e-mail.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55And Lucy's copied in on various group e-mails I receive.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59You know, Lee, important ones, like video clips of a drunk man
0:18:59 > 0:19:01showing his arse crack at a family barbecue.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04That was a very funny clip, actually.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- You didn't send it to me. - Whose arse do you think it was?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12So the man acquired Lucy's address somehow,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15but if he wanted to harm Toby, why punish the rest of us?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17You heard him on that tape, he's lost everything!
0:19:17 > 0:19:19And now he wants Toby to lose everything, too!
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Including his close friends!
0:19:21 > 0:19:23But me and Geoffrey aren't his close friends!
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- No offence, Toby.- None taken.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- I'm not a close friend either. - Still no offence.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32I wouldn't even say we were particularly close.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Little bit of offence taken there, though.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39All that maniac cares about
0:19:39 > 0:19:41is that Toby is in here with some of his friends.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43He doesn't care about the specifics!
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- We're going to die!- As I recall, you said the same thing last year
0:19:46 > 0:19:49on the waltzers at Thorpe Park.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50The waltzers were not being operated
0:19:50 > 0:19:53by a man with a homicidal grudge against Toby!
0:19:53 > 0:19:55It didn't stop you shouting hysterically
0:19:55 > 0:19:57at the man spinning you around.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59I was just trying to make the point
0:19:59 > 0:20:01that "scream if you want to go faster"
0:20:01 > 0:20:03is a system that is inherently flawed!
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Tell me this, then - if the grudge is against Toby,
0:20:10 > 0:20:13why did they not handcuff him to the bomb?
0:20:13 > 0:20:16That is a good point.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20- Actually...- I am starting to hate the word "actually"!
0:20:20 > 0:20:22I was suppose to handcuff Toby,
0:20:22 > 0:20:24that's what it really said in the e-mail.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26But in the darkness, I got Lee by mistake.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Well, why didn't you tell us this before?
0:20:28 > 0:20:30I was worried I'd got it wrong. I thought they'd stop the game!
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Well, why did he let us carry on if you'd broken the rules?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Well, he didn't let us carry on, did he? He's not here!
0:20:35 > 0:20:38He's probably 50 miles away, waiting for this bomb to explode!
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Don't be stupid. He's upstairs with the rest of the game's organisers,
0:20:42 > 0:20:44listening in and laughing at your ridiculous rantings!
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- Actually...- Don't you start!
0:20:47 > 0:20:49He's not. There's nobody upstairs.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51When I turned up, I was desperate for the bog,
0:20:51 > 0:20:53so I went searching.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Trust me, we're in a derelict old building in the middle of nowhere.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58And you tell us this now?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Well, I don't know how this works, do I?!
0:21:00 > 0:21:02I've never done it before!
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Normal people celebrate their birthday
0:21:04 > 0:21:05by opening a can of Special Brew
0:21:05 > 0:21:07and sticking a candle in a Mr Kipling!
0:21:09 > 0:21:13There's a poetry to the sadness of your life, isn't there, Frank?
0:21:14 > 0:21:15Right, enough is enough!
0:21:15 > 0:21:19If this is somebody's idea of an elaborate joke, it's not funny!
0:21:19 > 0:21:22So this is your last chance to tell me...right now!
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Well, it's not us.- Look, I really did work with him at the hospital
0:21:25 > 0:21:27and I really could have got him the sack.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30And he really did e-mail me out of the blue, I swear to God!
0:21:30 > 0:21:31- Dad?- Me?
0:21:31 > 0:21:32My idea of an elaborate wind-up
0:21:32 > 0:21:34is breaking wind when you pull my finger!
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- It's not us.- Wendy and I wouldn't do anything like this.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Seeing you teary last year on Billy Badger's Big Bumpy Boat...
0:21:48 > 0:21:49..that was embarrassing enough, Lee.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52I wouldn't want to go through all that again.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- Oh, my God, it is real! - No, it isn't!
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Nobody puts a digital timer on a bomb!
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Look, it's even got a switch on the back to turn the bloody thing off!
0:22:02 > 0:22:03RAPID BEEPING
0:22:05 > 0:22:06Oh!
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Funny how time seems to go faster when you're enjoying yourself.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11DRAMATIC INSTRUMENTAL
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Oh, good! He's included some dramatic music
0:22:13 > 0:22:15because this isn't quite tense enough!
0:22:15 > 0:22:19- Geoffrey, what have you done? - Nothing! It isn't real!
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- Is it?- Yes, it is! We're going to die!
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- And it's all my fault! - None of us are dead yet!
0:22:23 > 0:22:27We've still got a chance of solving the puzzles and getting out of here!
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Frank, you're the problem-solving genius, which is the right key?
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Oh! Er... I don't know!
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Oh, you see, when we really need him, he's got nothing!
0:22:35 > 0:22:39You're just jealous because I'm better than you at doing mammograms!
0:22:42 > 0:22:44The word is anagrams, you imbecile!
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Stop it, the pair of you! Now think, and quickly.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50The man said, "Look back at the old clues."
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Yes, and we did that, and we made the connection to Toby.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54But how does that help us now?
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Well, last time, when we worked out that Wendy was the secret agent,
0:22:58 > 0:23:00it was linked to the swan.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02This time, it might link Toby to the dolls.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Yeah, but we don't have an anagram this time,
0:23:04 > 0:23:06we only have the letters A and B.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08All right, all right, all right, let's think about this.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Two Victorian dolls, each with a key,
0:23:10 > 0:23:11both made of fine biscuit porcelain.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13What do we know about fine biscuit porcelain?!
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- Got it!- You can't have!
0:23:17 > 0:23:19- I have! It's, er...- Don't!
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Don't...don't say it, just give me a minute!
0:23:21 > 0:23:24You what?! RAPID BEEPING
0:23:24 > 0:23:26You'll be kicking yourselves.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28I'll be bloody kicking you if you don't say it!
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Oh, for God's sake, just spit it out!
0:23:30 > 0:23:33It's an anagram of Toby - Toy B.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Goddamn it!
0:23:35 > 0:23:37RAPID BEEPING
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Wait! What are you doing?!
0:23:42 > 0:23:44It's the key from Toy B.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46The man said, "Choose the key which gives the best result,"
0:23:46 > 0:23:48but the best result for who?!
0:23:48 > 0:23:51The best result for him is if we blow ourselves up!
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- So, do you think I should use the other key?- I don't know!
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Quickly! RAPID BEEPING
0:24:06 > 0:24:08RELIEVED SIGHS
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I thoroughly enjoyed that.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Perhaps you're all now willing to accept that this was just a game.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Bit of a coincidence, that man being a colleague of Toby's,
0:24:23 > 0:24:25whether Toby got him the sack or not.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26Well, flukes happen all the time.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30I mean, look at Frank, solving all those clues.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Now, can we go to the pub, please?
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Well, not quite. We still have to find a way to uncuff me.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36And open the door.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Oh, well, the door's an easy one,
0:24:38 > 0:24:40that's obviously what Key B is for. Toby?
0:24:45 > 0:24:46It fits.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03I can't! It won't open!
0:25:03 > 0:25:05THEY YELL
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Looks like you passed the test, Toby, but who cares?
0:25:08 > 0:25:11I hate tests, and I hate you!
0:25:11 > 0:25:12You know, most people
0:25:12 > 0:25:14would just have stopped sending Christmas cards!

0:25:16 > 0:25:18You're going to regret getting me sacked, Toby.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20We're all going to die!
0:25:20 > 0:25:23For once in your life, Toby, do something!
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Oh, don't you worry - if I get out of here alive,
0:25:25 > 0:25:27I'm going to have some pretty harsh things to say
0:25:27 > 0:25:29about all of this on TripAdvisor!

0:25:53 > 0:25:57# You all hide from a pretend bomb
0:25:57 > 0:26:00# That was put there by me. #
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Hip-hip!
0:26:10 > 0:26:13No?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15So, are you saying you arranged all this, Lee?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Yep!
0:26:17 > 0:26:19With more than a little help from Greg.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Who the hell's Greg?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23The IT bloke from Toby's work.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26I got chatting to him at that Christmas party last year.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Told me that he'd handed his notice in.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- So, Toby didn't get him sacked? - Nope!
0:26:31 > 0:26:34He was leaving anyway, to start his own business -
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- escape rooms. - You got him to e-mail Lucy.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41See, Geoffrey, you can get the clues when they're a little bit easier.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44So, how did you know I'd sign up for it?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Because, Lucy, I knew, like every year,
0:26:46 > 0:26:49that you would leave my birthday arrangements until the last minute
0:26:49 > 0:26:51and sign up to anything.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54I was just a bit surprised you did it without a Wowcher being involved.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58- They're in my pocket, by the way. - What are?
0:26:58 > 0:27:01The keys. They've been there the whole time.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Big one opens the padlock on the door,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06little one opens the handcuffs.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Why? Why go to all this effort?
0:27:09 > 0:27:10Because, Geoffrey, perhaps now
0:27:10 > 0:27:12we've got a different topic of conversation
0:27:12 > 0:27:15other than how scared I was last year at Thorpe Park.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20You scared us all senseless for that?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Here's us thinking we've been lured here by a madman
0:27:22 > 0:27:24hell-bent on revenge.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26When all along, we've been lured here
0:27:26 > 0:27:28by a madman hell-bent on revenge.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Come on, everyone, pub.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Er...aren't you forgetting something?
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Aren't you going to unlock me?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37See if you can solve this riddle -
0:27:37 > 0:27:40My first is in "never" and "no chance" and "no".
0:27:40 > 0:27:43The second is in "bollocks to you".
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Hang on! You can't just leave me here!
0:27:48 > 0:27:49Come on, Lucy, it was only a bit of fun!
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Oh, well, lucky you! You get to enjoy it for several more hours.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Are you winding me up?
0:27:59 > 0:28:00Ha!
0:28:03 > 0:28:04No!
0:28:04 > 0:28:06DOOR SLAMS SHUT
0:28:06 > 0:28:07Well, some people can't take a joke.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14# We're not going out
0:28:14 > 0:28:16# We're not staying in
0:28:16 > 0:28:19# Just hanging around with my head in a spin
0:28:19 > 0:28:22# But there is no need to scream and shout
0:28:22 > 0:28:25# We're not going out
0:28:25 > 0:28:28# We are not going out. #
