0:00:02 > 0:00:06Eight contestants, all with a chance to win thousands of pounds.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Only one will start in control.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Can they stay ahead and beat the Pack?
0:00:25 > 0:00:28APPLAUSE
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Hello, I'm Jake Humphrey and this is Beat The Pack,
0:00:31 > 0:00:35the show where if you can stay ahead of your opponents,
0:00:35 > 0:00:37you can win up to £12,000.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41We've randomly selected one player to start in control
0:00:41 > 0:00:43and that player is Rhys. Rhys, come and join me.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46APPLAUSE
0:00:46 > 0:00:51- Rhys, how are you? - How are you doing? All right? - Good man. Lovely to meet you.
0:00:51 > 0:00:58- How are you feeling?- Not bad. - You'll be even better if you walk out of here with £12,000.- Yeah.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02- Let's learn a bit about you. Where are you from?- I'm from North Wales.
0:01:02 > 0:01:08- What do you spend most of your time doing?- I'm studying, in my last year, to be a teacher in Cardiff.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12- What are you going to teach? - Welsh, hopefully.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17- What would you do if you walked away with a big amount of money? - I'd visit Australia or New Zealand.
0:01:17 > 0:01:23- I'd go and see some relatives over there.- Who would you take with you? - I'd better take some of the family.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27If you do well today, you'd better reward your family as well.
0:01:27 > 0:01:33Good luck, Rhys. You're starting in control of today's game which means you could walk away with £12,000
0:01:33 > 0:01:37and the only thing standing in your way, I say the ONLY thing,
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- it's quite a big thing, it's the Pack. Shall we meet them? - Yeah.- Here they are.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Frances, business analyst, Manchester.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Jonathan, civil servant, Bexhill-on-Sea.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Trisha, pet motel owner, from Essex.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53John, insurance director from Lancaster.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Tracy, stay-at-home mum from Lisburn.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59David, pet food factory technician from Leicester.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Sophie, marketing team leader from Barnsley.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05APPLAUSE
0:02:05 > 0:02:10Rhys, that's the Pack, seven people who would love to come and stand where you are,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13take control of the game and try and win some money.
0:02:13 > 0:02:19Your aim is to try and stop them. Who have you got your eye on? Who worries you out of the Pack?
0:02:19 > 0:02:25Probably Jonathan and John. I don't know the strengths of anyone yet. They look pretty knowledgeable.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Jonathan's smiling. He's enjoying being singled out by you early on.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32He's even rubbing his hands with glee.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- You can cope with the pressure, Jonathan?- I hope so.
0:02:35 > 0:02:41- John, why do you think you were singled out?- I really don't know, but I hope to do all right.
0:02:41 > 0:02:47- Maybe you just look really clever. - Probably. It's a good impression, isn't it?- It's not bad.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50We'll see whether it rings true later on in the show.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55- Rhys, would you like to see the six categories that stand between you and some money?- Yeah.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59These are the six categories that Rhys is going to be tackling today.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Now, each of these categories is worth up to £2,000 and all Rhys has to do
0:03:12 > 0:03:18is answer one question correctly from each category for the chance to win up to £12,000,
0:03:18 > 0:03:24but if he gets a question wrong at any time, he's out of the game, no second chances.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28If he doesn't like a question, he doesn't have to answer it.
0:03:28 > 0:03:34I'll replace it with an easier one, but that will cost him because the money halves every time.
0:03:34 > 0:03:40And the Pack will be answering every question, so if he passes and they all get it right, he loses control,
0:03:40 > 0:03:45he goes home with nothing and that's not all. One of the Pack will take his place.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49So you know the rules. You're in control. They want to be in control.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- Your job is to beat them. Are you ready?- Yes.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58- Shall we get on with the game? - Let's get on with it. - Rhys, let's play Beat The Pack.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00APPLAUSE
0:04:03 > 0:04:08OK, six categories. Which of those six are you thinking, "I could cope with that?"
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Probably Social Media.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16Kings & Queens. I did History, so that should be OK. That's about it probably.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19But it depends what questions come up.
0:04:19 > 0:04:25There's only one way to find out what the questions are going to be. Over to you, Rhys. Pick a category.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Right, I'll go with a weaker subject first. I'll go with David Bowie.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33You're going to go with David Bowie to start with.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38You say it's your weaker subject. I can give you a bit of good news before we get going.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43At any time during the game you'll have the chance to give me two answers, a double answer,
0:04:43 > 0:04:49- so let me know when you want to use that and make sure you use it wisely because you only get it once.- OK.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52So, Rhys has chosen David Bowie.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59And to get us going, this is his £2,000 question.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Rhys, get thinking for the first time today.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Pack, please answer now.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25John there, a big puff of the cheeks and a big shake of the head,
0:05:25 > 0:05:29but you never know whether they're toying with you at this stage.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33You need to work out what you know, what you think they know,
0:05:33 > 0:05:36and then decide whether to play or pass.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Remember, if you pass and all the Pack get the answer correct,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42then you're out of the game.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45I've got an idea, but I'm going to have to pass on that.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47What's your idea?
0:05:48 > 0:05:52The one that stood out for me was Jareth the Goblin King.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55He sounds like a minor character.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58I didn't even know that David Bowie played in a film,
0:05:58 > 0:06:01so that says a lot about my knowledge of David Bowie.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06- He's done quite a bit of acting. - I'll pass.- Definitely pass?- Yeah.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- You would have gone for Jareth the Goblin King.- Yeah.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Let's see then. What is the correct answer on the £2,000 question?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19- Agh!- Rhys...
0:06:19 > 0:06:24- Do you remember the film Labyrinth? - I've seen it, but I couldn't...
0:06:24 > 0:06:27That was the film, that was the character.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31If you'd given me that answer, if you'd gone with your gut instinct,
0:06:31 > 0:06:34I'd be saying to you now, Rhys, you've got £2,000.
0:06:34 > 0:06:40As it is, I'm saying to you, Rhys, if the Pack all know the right answer to this question,
0:06:40 > 0:06:43you're going home at the very start of the game.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- OK.- Let's reveal who in the Pack knew the correct answer.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04Two of our Pack members... got it wrong.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09A huge number knew the right answer. Great news for them. They're through to the next category.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14- They're in the safe zone. That couldn't have gone much worse for you.- No.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18You're about to take on just two Pack members on the £1,000 question.
0:07:18 > 0:07:24Before we do that, let's say "great start and well done" to five members of the Pack.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Make your way over to the safe area. Well done.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29APPLAUSE
0:07:29 > 0:07:36John and Tracy, not great for you. The Pack's been whittled down to two. You're vulnerable now, John.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Yeah. I'll get my bag now.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Are you big on Bowie? - Not really, no.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- A little bit before my time.- OK. A little bit?- Just a touch.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Tracy?- No, I'm not a big fan either, I'm afraid.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53OK, it looks like we've got three non-Bowie fans playing this game.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- The next question, Rhys, is worth £1,000, OK?- OK.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00So let's move the game on.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03It's worth half as much, but it's a big question
0:08:03 > 0:08:08because Rhys is up against two members of the Pack and this is the question.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Rhys, I'll take your answer in a moment,
0:08:29 > 0:08:32but, John and Tracy, please answer now.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37OK, another shake of the head there from John.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42Rhys, think carefully. When you've only got two members of the Pack,
0:08:42 > 0:08:46the chances of them both getting the right answer are greatly increased.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- If you choose to pass, it's a really big risk.- I understand the risk,
0:08:50 > 0:08:54but I'll have to pass because it'd be a complete stab in the dark
0:08:54 > 0:08:58and I don't think both of them are going to get it right.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Yeah, so I'll pass.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02You're gambling that both members
0:09:02 > 0:09:07- of the Pack won't know the right answer.- Yeah.- If they do, Rhys,
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- you will be leaving the game.- OK.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12If I'd have pushed you, what would you have said?
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- It could be any of the four. - You simply don't know?
0:09:16 > 0:09:19I've got no idea. I'd probably go for Where Are We Now?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22OK, let's reveal the correct answer.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30"I'd probably have gone for Where Are We Now?"
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Once again, Rhys, if you'd followed your gut,
0:09:33 > 0:09:35it would have been a correct answer.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Now we turn our attention to the Pack.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43If John and Tracy both knew Where Are We Now is the answer, they've survived
0:09:43 > 0:09:47and Rhys's game is over on the very first category.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Let's see who got it right.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02APPLAUSE
0:10:06 > 0:10:10John and Tracy, well done to the both of you. Rhys, what a shame!
0:10:10 > 0:10:15- I'm really glad to have played the game with you. Good effort. - I enjoyed my time.
0:10:15 > 0:10:21If you'd been a bit braver, we wouldn't be having this conversation, but sadly, we are.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26- Rhys, you failed to beat the Pack. Your game is over. Unlucky. - Cheers, thank you. Good luck.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30APPLAUSE
0:10:33 > 0:10:38So, Rhys leaves on the very first category. Time to bring back the Pack. Back you come.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41APPLAUSE
0:10:41 > 0:10:45As you saw, caution can be really costly on this show.
0:10:45 > 0:10:51Rhys has gone which is bad news for him, but very good news for one member of the Pack.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56The strongest player until this point and taking control of the game from Rhys is...
0:11:05 > 0:11:07..Jonathan. Down you come, Jonathan.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10APPLAUSE
0:11:15 > 0:11:19Well, a real shame for Rhys, but Jonathan, good news for you.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24Of the five Pack members that got the right answer, you answered quicker than anyone else.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Where are you from? - Bexhill-on-Sea in East Sussex.
0:11:27 > 0:11:33- What do you do for a living?- I'm a civil servant, an administration officer in local government.
0:11:33 > 0:11:40- Have you done that your whole life? - No, only a few years. I was a fish and chip van operator for 20 years.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45- We're all hungry. What have you brought with you?- The van's outside in case everybody gets hungry!
0:11:45 > 0:11:49The game has changed hugely for you. You were part of the Pack.
0:11:49 > 0:11:55- The aim for you now, Jonathan, is to beat the Pack. Are you ready to play?- Yes.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- OK, Jonathan, good luck.- Thank you. - Let's play Beat The Pack.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01APPLAUSE
0:12:03 > 0:12:10Let's start by looking at the five categories that remain that are separating you from £10,000.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Sadly, Fish And Chips isn't up there, but those five are.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17What stands out as a good category for you?
0:12:17 > 0:12:21I think Social Media, but that's not what I'm going to pick
0:12:21 > 0:12:25because I don't know anything about Ice Skating, so I'll pick Ice Skating
0:12:25 > 0:12:28in the hope that I can beat the Pack in that way.
0:12:28 > 0:12:34While you've got a large Pack, you think you've got a greater chance of going through?
0:12:34 > 0:12:39- Perhaps them not all knowing the answer either if I have to pass. - All right, Jonathan.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42You've got a double answer you can use at any time.
0:12:42 > 0:12:48- You've chosen Ice Skating, a tough category. Get it out the way early, that's your thinking?- Yes.
0:12:48 > 0:12:54We shall see if it's a good tactical move. Let's do it. Jonathan has chosen Ice Skating.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59And here is his first question, worth £2,000.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Have a think, Jonathan. Pack, please answer now.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Six answers locked in from the Pack.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28If you give me an answer now and it's the right answer,
0:13:28 > 0:13:31fantastic, £2,000, on to the next category.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34If you choose to pass, you need to be confident
0:13:34 > 0:13:39those six Pack members didn't all get the right answer. Play or pass?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- I'm going to play and risk it all. - Hold on a minute.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47This is your weak category that you chose to get it out of the way
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- and you're going to play the £2,000 question?- Yes.- Why?
0:13:50 > 0:13:54I think you've got to go for it if you're going to win any money.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57That is one approach, Jonathan.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- Are you going to use your double answer?- I would like to use it.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04This is bold and brave game play from Jonathan.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Let's lock in the double answer.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Now tell me which two you would like to pick.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13I'm going to take D and A.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16OK, so, A, axel...
0:14:18 > 0:14:20..and D, salchow.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Why those two?
0:14:23 > 0:14:27I've definitely heard of "salchow", although maybe a triple salchow,
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- and I'm wondering how you could... - Could you do it?- Oh, yes(!)
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Definitely a double one, but a triple, maybe not.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39- And why "axel"?- "Axel" is just familiar from watching ice skating.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I imagine "flip" is as simple as it could be.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46And "lutz" is something complicated that I don't know...
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- A flip on the ice is simple? - Yeah, I've flipped over on the ice!
0:14:50 > 0:14:54Who in the Pack do you think would know the answer to this?
0:14:56 > 0:15:00- I think probably John and Tracy. - Just those two?
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Tracy, why would Jonathan think you're an expert on ice skating?
0:15:04 > 0:15:09- Any idea?- It must be my physique. I look like an ice skater(!)
0:15:09 > 0:15:13- Indeed you do. Is he wide of the mark? Do you like ice skating?- No.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18- I hate it.- Confident with this question?- No, not at all.- Let's see.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23If the answer is either "axel" or "salchow", fantastic,
0:15:23 > 0:15:26through to the next category, £2,000 is yours.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28But if you're wrong, it's game over.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Shall we see...?
0:15:31 > 0:15:36OK, if the answer's "axel", Jonathan's through.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Is "axel" the correct answer?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45It's "axel". Well done.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- APPLAUSE - What a start!
0:15:49 > 0:15:51What a start!
0:15:51 > 0:15:54You didn't even need the double answer, did you?
0:15:54 > 0:15:58If it had been neither "axel" or "salchow",
0:15:58 > 0:16:01you would have walked away from here with absolutely nothing,
0:16:01 > 0:16:07- but the bravery has seen you put £2,000 in the bank, so shall we do that?- Yes, please.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11You'll smile at this. Let's put £2,000 in the bank for Jonathan.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- APPLAUSE - Lovely.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19You now choose who you would like to say farewell to.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24You don't know an awful lot about them yet, but do you know enough to pick someone?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Not really, but I'm going to say David.- Why David?
0:16:27 > 0:16:33He looks very intelligent and I'm a bit worried about him knowing more than I do. Sorry, David.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- Are you as intelligent as you look, David?- No, I got the answer wrong.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42David, Jonathan has decided he didn't like the look of you, for whatever reason,
0:16:42 > 0:16:46so I'm afraid I need to ask you to leave the Pack. Thanks for playing.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49APPLAUSE
0:16:53 > 0:17:00That's a really good start for you. Do you build on this confidence or do you think, "£2,000 in the bank,
0:17:00 > 0:17:06- "I can relax and play safe"?- No, I don't think I can relax with a big Pack like that waiting to get me.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Let's have a look at what your next category is going to be.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16What's the next best one for you?
0:17:17 > 0:17:23- Kings & Queens.- Because it's hard and you want it out of the way or are you more confident about it?
0:17:23 > 0:17:28- I'm more confident about Kings & Queens than I am about Moulin Rouge.- Shall we play it?
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- Yes, please.- You clearly wanted to avoid Moulin Rouge at this point.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Sadly, you do have to answer one question on each category.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40We'll get to Moulin Rouge, but for now, Kings & Queens.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45Let's have a look at the £2,000 question in the Kings & Queens category.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Jonathan, get thinking. Pack, get answering.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07OK, the Pack have very quickly locked in their answers.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11I can tell you two of the Pack have an "A" level in History.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Whether that helps them with this remains to be seen.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19The important thing is what do you think? Play or pass?
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- Pass.- You'll pass. You were very sure last time with playing.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- Why do you want to pass now?- I think you shouldn't take too many risks.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30I would like to guess, but I risk losing everything,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33so I'd rather pass this time and see how the Pack get on.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38One wrong answer and you're out of the game, so maybe you're right.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- If I pushed you, what answer would you have gone for?- Marilyn Monroe.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46Look, you've passed. If all of the Pack get the right answer,
0:18:46 > 0:18:49passing has cost you your place in the game
0:18:49 > 0:18:51and that fantastic £2,000 you've banked.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Let's see. What is the right answer?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Marilyn Monroe.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Marilyn Monroe and the Queen both born in 1926.
0:19:04 > 0:19:10An answer that would have got you another £2,000 and been the perfect start to the show.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15If you follow your gut instinct, if you're brave at the right time, it can pay dividends.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19The risk, of course, is it can see you out of the game.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24Just so you know, Shirley Temple born in 1928, Doris Day and Marlon Brando in 1924.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28So, all born in the '20s, but Marilyn Monroe was the right answer.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33But which of the Pack got the right answer? This is the big risk for Jonathan.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Did you all know the right answer? Is he out of the game?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Well done, Sophie. - APPLAUSE
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Very good.
0:19:55 > 0:20:01So are you a fan of the Royal Family, a fan of Marilyn Monroe or a fan of taking a lucky guess?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- No, I actually thought I knew that one.- Really?
0:20:04 > 0:20:10- You knew the year the Queen was born or the year Marilyn was born? - Yeah, I knew the Queen was 1926.
0:20:10 > 0:20:17You've been standing there quietly so far, not catching anyone's eye, then suddenly, the right answer,
0:20:17 > 0:20:22which puts you through to the next category, Sophie. Well done. Make your way to the safe area.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24APPLAUSE
0:20:24 > 0:20:31Good news for Sophie, but you're the person in control. You've now got one less Pack member to take on,
0:20:31 > 0:20:37so the chances of them all getting the next answer right is higher and it's an easier question for them.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40The next question is worth £1,000.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44And here is that question.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Jonathan, you give me an answer in a moment.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Pack, please give me an answer now.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Jonathan, so far your gut instinct has been absolutely perfect.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15Taking that into account, play or pass on the £1,000 question?
0:21:15 > 0:21:18I'd like to play it, please, Jake.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Fantastic. Why?
0:21:20 > 0:21:24I think I have a good idea of it being Denmark
0:21:24 > 0:21:28because I know there has been a King and a Queen of Denmark.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Portugal is a republic, Argentina is a republic
0:21:32 > 0:21:35and I don't think there's a King of Lebanon,
0:21:35 > 0:21:40so I would choose Denmark. I'm not 100% sure, but fairly confident.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- Willing to take the risk? - Absolutely.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48- Ready to see if you're correct?- Yes. - Let's lock in the answer then.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Jonathan thinks the answer is A, Denmark.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55If he's right, you're through to the next round, £1,000 in the bank.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00If he's wrong, he leaves with nothing.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Is Denmark the right answer?
0:22:06 > 0:22:10You are playing a good game, Jonathan.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- APPLAUSE - Well done.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17Margrethe II of Denmark is currently on the throne.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22- That answer puts you through to the next round. Shall we put £1,000 in the bank?- Yes, please.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Here we go, another £1,000...
0:22:26 > 0:22:32£3,000 from the first two categories that you've answered, a really strong start from you, Jonathan.
0:22:32 > 0:22:38You're through to the next category. You now have to decide which of the Pack you'd like to say goodbye to.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43It's difficult because we haven't heard an awful lot from them.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Who would you like to get rid of?
0:22:45 > 0:22:52I think I'm going to go with Trisha. I'm sorry, Trisha, I'm going to send you home.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57- Did you know the answer to that last question?- I did.- If Jonathan had passed, you'd be in the safe area.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02- Perhaps he is clever getting rid of you if you knew that answer.- Maybe.
0:23:02 > 0:23:08Trisha, despite getting the right answer, you're in the Pack at the wrong time. Jonathan's in control.
0:23:08 > 0:23:14- It's his decision and he's decided you need to leave the Pack. Thank you for playing.- Thank you.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16APPLAUSE
0:23:22 > 0:23:26So Trisha leaves, but, Sophie, back you come. Let's bring back the Pack.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33Jonathan, you're playing a brilliant game, so let's move on and look at the categories.
0:23:33 > 0:23:39As you can see, you're flying through this. We're now halfway through. Three down, three to go.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44So far, being bold and being brave had paid off very well for you.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49You've got £3,000 in the bank. You could win another £6,000 as we head towards the final.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54There's four members of the Pack that you need to try and eliminate.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57So, your game. Where next?
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I'm going to try Social Media, please.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03So Jonathan's next category is Social Media.
0:24:05 > 0:24:11Let's see if it's a wise decision. This is the £2,000 Social Media question.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Jonathan, have a think.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Pack, please give us your answer.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38The Pack have answered and now it's your turn. Do you use Twitter?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- No.- Right.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44I have a Twitter account, but I've never used it.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Just like my dad. He doesn't know what to do with it.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51- I haven't found a use for it yet. - Everyone has them, don't they?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Bearing in mind that you don't use Twitter,
0:24:54 > 0:24:56do you want to play or pass on this?
0:24:56 > 0:25:00I think I would like to pass because I'm not confident.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03In normal circumstances, without any money on the line
0:25:03 > 0:25:06and having to go home with nothing,
0:25:06 > 0:25:10I would take a guess at one of those and think that was fairly safe,
0:25:10 > 0:25:13but I don't feel safe in risking the £3,000 I've got so far
0:25:13 > 0:25:16- and going home with nothing, so I'll pass.- OK.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Well, you've decided to pass. So let's see.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Who did manage to get over 20 million followers on Twitter
0:25:23 > 0:25:26by the end of 2012?
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Taylor Swift. Have you heard of Taylor Swift?
0:25:31 > 0:25:35- Yes, I have heard of Taylor Swift. - Do you like her music?
0:25:35 > 0:25:37I haven't heard any of her music.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41She managed to get over 22 million followers on Twitter,
0:25:41 > 0:25:44but that's fewer than Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber
0:25:44 > 0:25:49- who both have more than 33 million followers. They're popular, aren't they?- Very.
0:25:49 > 0:25:55It's time to find out if you'll be popular with the Pack. If they all got it right, they'll be delighted.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Have they managed it? Who knew the correct answer to this question?
0:26:14 > 0:26:19Maybe we don't have some social media jockeys in our Pack today. John, no idea at all?
0:26:19 > 0:26:24I went for Kim Kardashian. I didn't think Taylor Swift would be that popular.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- Frances, why did you get that wrong? - I also went for Kim Kardashian.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32She's the only one of those that I follow on Twitter,
0:26:32 > 0:26:38so I thought everyone else is bound to have the same impeccable taste as me, so it will be Kim Kardashian.
0:26:38 > 0:26:44None of the Pack got that right. It gives you a good indication about their social media knowledge.
0:26:44 > 0:26:49But the next question is easier for you and easier for them, Jonathan. It's worth £1,000.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Let's have a look. This is the £1,000 question on Social Media.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Jonathan, I'll get your thoughts in a moment.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21But first, the Pack need to get thinking. Please answer now.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25So they've all placed their answers.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Are you going to play or pass?
0:27:27 > 0:27:31Sometimes you have to rely on your instincts.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36I'm going to play it and I'm going to go for B.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40This is a really brave time to just base your answer on your instincts.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43You've got £3,000 in the bank.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46You're not hanging by a thread. Are you sure you want to do that?
0:27:46 > 0:27:49If it's the wrong answer, you lose everything.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53I take responsibility for my stupidity if it is,
0:27:53 > 0:27:57but I want to go with my instincts and say "Merry Christmas".
0:27:57 > 0:27:59OK, let's lock that in.
0:27:59 > 0:28:05If it's right, brilliant, £4,000, on to the next category,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08closer to the final, still in the game.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Is the correct answer "Merry Christmas"?
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Yes, it is! Oh, I'm so happy for you.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20APPLAUSE
0:28:20 > 0:28:24That's the first time anyone has thanked their gut
0:28:24 > 0:28:30after getting it right with a gut instinct answer and your face when you saw it was "Merry Christmas"...
0:28:30 > 0:28:36- Slightly relieved.- It was clear how unconfident you were! You've chosen the right times to be cautious
0:28:36 > 0:28:41and the right times to be brave, but you still have not got your hands on that money.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45You've still got to survive another two categories and the final,
0:28:45 > 0:28:48but the money is really starting to build up.
0:28:48 > 0:28:53Let's add another £1,000 to the £3,000 you've already got. Well done.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55APPLAUSE
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Feeling good?
0:29:00 > 0:29:02- Shaky.- You're doing really well.
0:29:02 > 0:29:07You've got through Social Media. That category is completed.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10We're going to move on, you're going to stay in control.
0:29:10 > 0:29:17Before we do that, Frances, John, Tracy or Sophie, one of them will leave the game and you decide who.
0:29:17 > 0:29:24I have to pick Sophie because I've got proof that she's clever enough to get some of the harder questions.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29I'm sorry, Sophie. You've hung yourself with your cleverness.
0:29:29 > 0:29:34- Sophie, did you get that last question right?- Yeah, I did. I thought I was a goner.- Oh, no.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39If Jonathan had passed, you'd be sitting there now very happy, through to the next category.
0:29:39 > 0:29:46- Never mind.- That one correct answer stood you out from the Pack and has cost you your place here today.
0:29:46 > 0:29:52Thank you so much for playing. Sophie, please leave the Pack. Bye-bye.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54APPLAUSE
0:29:58 > 0:30:03And then there were three. Are you starting to get a bit more confident with this?
0:30:03 > 0:30:09Not really. I'm enjoying it, but feeling very ruthless, getting rid of people, but that's the game.
0:30:09 > 0:30:14It is the game. The stakes are getting higher every time.
0:30:14 > 0:30:19You've got £4,000 in the bank and another £4,000 available with two categories left to play.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26You've got three Pack members up against you, hunting you down still.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31I'm still dodging Moulin Rouge, Jake. I'm going to go for UK Politics, please.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Right, the penultimate category is UK Politics.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Let's have a look at the £2,000 question.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Have a think, Jonathan. Pack, please answer now.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05It gets serious now, two categories left to play,
0:31:05 > 0:31:08and this question is worth £2,000.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Jonathan, play or pass?
0:31:11 > 0:31:13I would like to pass, but I'm not going to
0:31:13 > 0:31:17because I think that the Pack will know this one,
0:31:17 > 0:31:19so I'm forced into playing.
0:31:19 > 0:31:24I think 60 is far too old, even 50 and 55,
0:31:24 > 0:31:26so I'm going to go for 45.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29I can understand how you're working this out,
0:31:29 > 0:31:32- but you don't know the answer. - I don't know the answer.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35You don't know the answer and you're going to play.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39- I'm going to play. - This is really brave, Jonathan.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Let's lock that in.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46If it's right, Jonathan is through, one category away from the final
0:31:46 > 0:31:49and another £2,000 in the bank.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52If it's wrong, he walks away with nothing.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Is the correct answer A, 45?
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Jonathan, it's not.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04I took the risk and it was worth taking.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08Let us show you the right answer, so you know. The right answer was...
0:32:10 > 0:32:1450. I wish you'd said 50. I'd love to have given you another £2,000.
0:32:14 > 0:32:21I've really enjoyed standing next to you. You've been great to play alongside, incredibly brave.
0:32:21 > 0:32:27- That was good for you, but it was your undoing. Jonathan, you failed to beat the Pack.- Thank you.- Bye.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- Thank you, everybody. - APPLAUSE
0:32:33 > 0:32:35You win some, you lose some.
0:32:35 > 0:32:40On that occasion, sadly for Jonathan, despite his bravery, he lost and he lost a lot.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43He's gone, so has all the money he banked,
0:32:43 > 0:32:49but it's good news for one member of the Pack who is about to gain control and that person is...
0:32:58 > 0:33:02Frances, you're the strongest. Down you come.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05APPLAUSE
0:33:09 > 0:33:13Well done, Frances, the strongest member of the Pack at the perfect time.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17How does it feel being down here, compared to being up in the Pack?
0:33:17 > 0:33:21It's much worse down here. I'm absolutely terrified.
0:33:21 > 0:33:26But by being down here, the money could be yours. What did you learn from watching Jonathan?
0:33:26 > 0:33:30He was incredibly brave, but maybe too brave at the wrong time.
0:33:30 > 0:33:35There's got to be an element of no guts, no glory. It's all or nothing with this.
0:33:35 > 0:33:41- I'm looking forward to playing the game with you. Where are you from? - Watford, but I live in Manchester.
0:33:41 > 0:33:46- What do you do for a living? - I'm a business analyst for a bank. - Frances, it's your game.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49You're in control. Let's play Beat The Pack.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54All right...
0:33:54 > 0:34:00Moulin Rouge is the only category that you can go for. This first question will be worth £2,000.
0:34:00 > 0:34:06- What would you do if you walked away with all that money? - We bought a house a few years ago.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09We don't have a back garden, so much as a back yard swamp,
0:34:09 > 0:34:15so I'd do the back garden up, have somewhere nice to sit, if it ever stops raining in Manchester!
0:34:15 > 0:34:19- A swamp is good for the lily pad.- It is.- I love that with a little frog.
0:34:19 > 0:34:26Frances, let's get serious. It's you up against two members of the Pack, on the final category, Moulin Rouge.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Here's the £2,000 question.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48Have a think. Pack, please answer now.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50And the Pack have answered.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53You didn't jump for joy when you saw the question,
0:34:53 > 0:34:57but you do have the double answer if you want to play that.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01Passing at this stage is risky with only two members of the Pack.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05So is playing if you don't know the right answer.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Play or pass?
0:35:08 > 0:35:11It's my one chance, so I might as well go big.
0:35:11 > 0:35:17- I'll play it.- No guts, no glory. This has been the theme of the show.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21- Do you want to use your double answer?- Yes.- Let's lock that in.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24And now, Frances, give me two answers.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27I'm going to go for Billy Wilder.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Billy Wilder, let's lock that in.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- And Fred Zinnemann. - And Fred Zinnemann, lock in.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40You can't change your mind, decision made.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- Why Billy Wilder? - Because I've actually heard of him.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46It was a name that stood out as someone I know
0:35:46 > 0:35:48who is a director of that era.
0:35:48 > 0:35:53You've never even heard of Fred Zinnemann, yet you've selected him?
0:35:53 > 0:35:56I like the name. Fun name to say. Zinnemann, cinnamon.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58I like cinnamon.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01You like cinnamon, so you've picked Zinnemann
0:36:01 > 0:36:05on a £2,000 question that could put you into the final
0:36:05 > 0:36:08- of today's Beat The Pack?- Yes.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11I've never seen anything like it, but if it's right,
0:36:11 > 0:36:14we'll all be delighted for you. Frances, this is it.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18If it's Billy Wilder or Fred Zinnemann, you're in the final,
0:36:18 > 0:36:20£2,000 in the bank.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23If it's neither of them, you're out of the game.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26First of all,
0:36:26 > 0:36:30did Billy Wilder direct the 1952 film Moulin Rouge?
0:36:34 > 0:36:38No, which leads us to Fred Zinnemann.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Has Frances taken control of the game...
0:36:42 > 0:36:45..and taken £2,000
0:36:45 > 0:36:47on the very final category?
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Is Fred Zinnemann the director
0:36:51 > 0:36:54of the 1952 film Moulin Rouge?
0:36:58 > 0:37:00No!
0:37:00 > 0:37:05I so wish it was because that would have been really brave game play.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Let's reveal the right answer.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13It was John Huston. I think to come in at the very end
0:37:13 > 0:37:17and to have your double answer, we all understand the logic
0:37:17 > 0:37:19of wanting to go for a £2,000 question.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23- Let's find out whether our Pack both got the answer correct. John?- No.
0:37:23 > 0:37:30I discounted John Huston because he's westerns. And I knew the remake of Moulin Rouge was Baz Luhrmann.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- Tracy?- I went for Billy Wilder. I didn't know either.
0:37:33 > 0:37:39I'm afraid if you'd decided to pass, Frances, we would have moved on to the £1,000 question
0:37:39 > 0:37:44- which would have been easier, then you could have used your double answer.- Yeah.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- But, as you said, no guts, no glory. - No.- You wanted to be brave.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51But sadly, it cost you the chance to be in the final.
0:37:51 > 0:37:57- Thank you for playing. I'm afraid you failed to beat the Pack. Bye-bye.- Thanks very much.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00APPLAUSE
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Almost as quickly as she arrived, Frances has gone,
0:38:07 > 0:38:13so John and Tracy are both going through to the final where they will compete for the chance
0:38:13 > 0:38:19to come back on the next show as our control player and the chance to win up to £12,000.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22And the stronger player is...
0:38:32 > 0:38:33Tracy.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35APPLAUSE
0:38:37 > 0:38:41So Tracy's in control in today's Beat The Pack final.
0:38:46 > 0:38:52This is the final, and instead of playing for money, our two members of the Pack are playing to come back
0:38:52 > 0:38:56as the control player next time. Now, Tracy, you control the game.
0:38:56 > 0:39:02You'll face 75 seconds of quick-fire questions. Keep on getting them right, you leave as the winner,
0:39:02 > 0:39:08but answer a question incorrectly or take too long to answer, I stop the clock
0:39:08 > 0:39:10and John can answer that same question.
0:39:10 > 0:39:16John, if you can steal three correct answers, you'll be coming back next time.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20Tracy, the aim of the game is to stay in control for 75 seconds.
0:39:20 > 0:39:25Up until this point, you've given us three correct answers, Tracy, in the whole show.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29John, of the nine questions we've asked you, you've got two right.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33- Better than I thought! - So you've had two in the whole show.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37You now need three in the final to steal control from Tracy.
