Episode 13 Breakaway

Welcome to Breakaway, a race to this finish line.

There's £10,000 to be won, but will today's players stick together

and win together, or break away from the pack in a bid to win

everything for themselves?

Today's six players are...

Hi, I'm Alan. I run a bookshop in Weston-Super-Mare.

Hi, I'm Sam. I'm an events manager from Newcastle.

Hello, my name's Trevor. I'm a police officer from Bury.

Hi, I'm Katie, a charity communications officer from London.

Hi, I'm Dan, a journalist living in Brighton.

Hi, I'm Karen, an orthoptist from Liverpool.

Please take your place on the start line.

30 correct answers stand between you and the finish line,

and with every correct answer you'll win £100 for the communal

prize pot waiting for you all to share at the end.

But, any one of you can, if you choose,

break away from the pack.

And if you cross that finish line,

the entire prize fund will be yours.

If you break away, every question is worth £300,

that's three times as much,

but, answer a single question wrong and you risk instant elimination.

There are seven subject categories of three questions each.

Then the final nine questions could be about anything at all.

But, before I start asking you those questions,

you have an important decision to make.

You'll be given the chance to break away now

and after every three questions.

You can see the break points marked on the track.

You have five seconds to decide once I ask that question,

and only the person who buzzes in first will break away.

If you break away now

I will give you a £1,000 bonus

for being, well, stupid, basically!

So, for the chance to win £10,000...

..does anybody want to break away?

The first three questions at least, you're going to stay as a team.

Today's seven subject categories are here on the screen.

And your first subject is...

..celebrities.

You have 15 seconds to answer each question.

One and only one of you must step forward and give me

the answer before time runs out.

Question one...

Born in July 2011,

what is the full name of David and Victoria Beckham's daughter?

THEY CONFER

-Karen.

-Harper Seven Beckham.

Harper Seven Beckham. Is that correct?

Well done. £100. Excellent.

Up and running. Always nice to get the first one out of the way.

Question two...

Which tennis star married James Bond actor George Lazenby in 2002?

THEY CONFER

Five seconds. Don't make the mistake of getting caught without answering.

Three seconds, two seconds.

-Alan, just in time, stepped forward. Your answer is...

-Sue Barker.

Is the answer Sue Barker?

-It may have been a guess.

-Alan, you need to step back.

It was indeed a guess.

The correct answer was Pam Shriver.

The £100 goes down to zero.

If you're going to get a question wrong,

that's a great place to get the question wrong!

It may have knocked your confidence, but don't worry.

Question two again.

Which model married rock star Jamie Hince in 2011?

Kate Moss.

THEY CONFER

-Karen happy with that. You think the answer is...

-Kate Moss.

Is it Kate Moss?

Well done. £100.

Question three...

Who is the actor father of Emilio Estevez?

THEY CONFER

-Katie?

-Martin Sheen.

-Katie says Martin Sheen.

Is Martin Sheen correct?

Well done, well done. Another £100. You've got £200, a little hiccup.

Now, we've reached today's first break point,

but before I ask you if you want to break away,

there's something that might influence your decision.

This is your chance to win yourselves a life.

A life can be really, really significant in this game.

A life can protect you from elimination

should you break away and get a question wrong.

Now, with this question, you're competing against each other.

You've got your buzzers and only the first person to buzz in

and answer correctly will win a life. Happy with that?

Who, what or where is this?

This popular children's story was serialised in the London Magazine

in the early 20th century and dedicated to the author's son.

It made its first...

-BUZZER

-Trev.

-Rupert Bear?

Is the answer Rupert The Bear?

No, it isn't. It made its first appearance in book form soon afterwards

and has never been out of print.

Central to the story is a family who moved to a country cottage

called Three Chimneys. Written by E Nesbit, it features...

-BUZZER

-Alan.

-Is it The Borrowers?

Is it The Borrowers?

No, it isn't. Written by E Nesbit...

BUZZER

-Sam.

-Railway Children?

Sam says The Railway Children.

Is the answer The Railway Children?

Yes, it is. Well done, Sam. Sam gets a life.

Sam, because you've won the life

you get to choose the next category.

-I'll go for rivers and lakes, please.

-rivers and lakes.

The next three questions will be on rivers and lakes.

Strong or weak subject for you?

-You don't have to tell me!

-Weak subject.

Sam will be looking for some help.

Maybe that means that Sam isn't going to break away.

Maybe she's bluffing. We're going to find out in a second,

because I'm going to ask you that question.

If you stay together and go through that line as a team,

£2,900 will be yours to share between the six of you.

Should one of you break away now and make it

all the way on your own, you would win £8,300.

The earlier that you break away, the more money you will earn.

Ready for the question?

Does anyone want to break away?

Had anybody planned to break away this early

and has just lost their nerve?

-Not saying.

-You're not saying? That's good. But as it happens,

you're staying together, wonderful. The next three questions will be

on rivers and lakes before we reach the next break point.

Question four...

The city of Nottingham stands on which river?

-The Trent?

-Yeah.

-I'll go for it?

-Yeah.

-Katie steps forward again.

We're seeing quite a lot of Katie, aren't we? Katie, the answer?

-The River Trent.

-Is it the River Trent?

I always like to think of that as Stoke's river, really,

-not Nottingham's, but there you go.

-KATIE LAUGHS

Question five...

What is the largest of the five Great Lakes in North America?

-Superior.

-Superior, yeah.

-Do you want to go for it?

-OK.

-Alan?

-It's Superior.

-Is Superior the correct answer?

-It is, well done.

-Yes!

-Another £100. Ticking along very, very nicely.

Question six...

Which British river is crossed by the Clifton Suspension Bridge?

-The Avon?

-The Severn?

-Is it the Avon or Severn?

-Yeah, is it the Severn or the Avon?

-Shall I go Severn?

Ten seconds left. Some dispute there.

Katie, what has the team decided?

-The River Severn.

-Is the answer the River Severn?

Oh!

Take a step back, Katie. I know that somebody said...

-What did you say, Alan?

-The Avon. It goes through the Avon Gorge.

-I live there.

-Alan said the Avon. He lives there!

The fact of the matter is, your £400 is now wiped off.

-Oh!

-Zero pounds, OK.

-How cross are you about that, Alan?

-Very.

-Very cross. Alan's very cross.

-Very(!)

-Sorry, Alan.

We're still on question six to get ourselves to the next break point.

The Serpentine is a lake in which London park?

-Hyde Park.

-OK, I don't know.

-Is it Hyde Park?

-Hyde, yeah.

-OK, go for it.

-Answer, Katie?

-Hyde Park.

Hyde Park. Is it Hyde Park?

Yes, it is. Well done. OK, £100.

We've reached the next break point, and the first thing

we're going to do here is play again for a life.

Now, we've seen we've been tripped up by questions

twice as a team already, so these lives

can be very, very important to you as individuals.

So who, what or where is this?

This supermodel was born on December the 4th, 1973.

Her father was a computer consultant and her mother worked as a photographer.

She has featured in a string of pop music videos,

including Tina Turner's Love Thing, George Michael's Too Funky

and Michael Jackson's Black...?

-Karen?

-Naomi Campbell.

-Is it Naomi Campbell?

-Oh!

-In 1996, she became the first African-American woman

to be featured...? Alan?

-I've gone completely blank, Nick.

-OK, Alan is out of the game, then.

So Sam, Trev, Katie and Dan, you are playing for this life.

..the first African-American woman featured on the cover of GQ magazine

and the Victoria's Secret lingerie catalogue.

In 2003, she signed on as the host

and executive producer of America's Next...? Sam?

-Tyra Banks.

-Sam says Tyra Banks. She's bided her time.

Has she bided it correctly? Is it Tyra Banks?

It is Tyra Banks. Sam gets another life. Well done, Sam.

Sam looking very strong at this stage.

In an error-strewn game, she has two lives that maybe she will need.

She got to choose the last subject. She gets to choose the next subject.

-Animation, please.

-Animation she is going to choose.

So the next three questions will be on animation. Let's get ready to ask that question.

Cross the finish line together, at the moment, £2,500.

Break away now, as an individual, go through that line,

£7,300, it currently stands at. I know you all have your plans.

Sometimes, you have to react as well as plan.

Would anybody like to break away?

Quite a lot of hesitancy.

Fair enough. Early in the game. As it happens, we're playing as a team.

The next three questions are on animation.

Question seven...

The 2006 animated film Happy Feet focuses on which animals?

-Penguins!

-Someone else?

-I don't think...

-Trev, is this the first time you stepped forward?

-Yes.

-It's lovely to see you.

-I bet I get it wrong.

-OK, Trev, what's the answer?

-Penguins.

-Is the answer penguins?

-Yes, yes.

-OK. Well done.

£200 is up there. We're on animation. Question eight.

In the TV cartoon series

Wacky Races, who drove The Compact Pussycat?

-ALL: Penelope Pitstop.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Penelope Pitstop.

-Dan.

-Go on, Dan.

-Thank you.

-Dan? What's the answer?

-Apparently, it's Penelope Pitstop.

OK. Is the answer Penelope Pitstop?

KATIE: Yes.

-Thanks, guys.

-Yes, it is.

Another £100. I'm glad you stepped forward, Dan. We saw those shoes.

-Excellent.

-You're going to get complaints.

-Ha-ha!

I think we probably will. Question nine.

Who provides the voice of Princess Fiona in the Shrek films?

-ALL: Cameron Diaz!

-Cameron Diaz.

-Go on, Karen.

-As one, they chorus. Karen?

-Cameron Diaz?

-Is the answer Cameron Diaz?

-Yes, it is. Well done.

-KATIE: Good round.

£400 is up there for you to share at the moment. Sam has two lives.

Now we have another chance to win a life. Maybe another for Sam,

maybe a new one for one of the rest of you.

Who, what or where is this?

This historical figure was born in 1928 and was the eldest

of five children in a middle-class family of Spanish-Irish descent.

Although an asthma sufferer, he excelled as an athlete and scholar

and completed his medical studies at Buenos Aires University in 1953.

He chronicled his...

-Sam?

-Che Guevara?

-Is the answer Che Guevara?

OK, it is Che Guevara. Yes, it is Che Guevara. Sam has three lives.

This is interesting, because Sam also picked two of the categories.

She's got rid of two of the subjects that she didn't really fancy.

And Sam gets to pick the next category as well.

World leaders, words & numbers, business, theatre?

Words & numbers, please.

OK, words & numbers will be the next three questions.

So let's start thinking about that question.

Now, if you stick together, £2,500 to share.

On the other hand, come over to this side now and

get through that line on your own, £6,700 for yourself to go home with.

Really worth thinking about. Does anybody want to break away?

-OK...

-LAUGHTER

Absolutely fine. One wonders

how safe Sam would have to feel in order to break away.

Equally, Sam may not be planning to break away at all.

Right, we stay as a team and that's lovely. We're on question ten.

In the lyrics to ABBA's 1976 number one hit,

how old was the Dancing Queen?

-17!

-Yeah.

-Go for it.

-Karen steps forward. The answer is?

-17.

Is the answer 17?

-Yes.

-OK, well done. £500 you have, OK.

Question 11...

Which Latin phrase means "seize the day?"

-Carpe diem.

-Yes.

-Yeah, I'll go for it.

-Katie?

-Carpe diem.

-Carpe diem. Is carpe diem correct?

-Yes!

-Yes, it is, OK. A real head of steam being got up here.

Question 12...

Which number features in the title of a Joseph Heller novel...

-22!

-22, yeah.

-Go for it, Alan.

-..first published in 1961?

-Straight away, Alan.

-It's 22, Nick.

-Is 22 correct?

Catch 22 is the book. Well done, well done indeed. £700.

Working beautifully. Reached the next break point.

Let's find out who's going to win the next life.

One more chance after this one, OK? Who, what or where is this?

This country in Asia covers an area of approximately 604,000 square miles.

It has an average elevation of 5,180 feet above sea level.

Its highest peak...

-Alan?

-Is it Tibet?

-Is it Tibet?

That's not the answer that I have here, Alan.

Its highest peaks are in the...

-Dan?

-Is it Nepal?

-Is it Nepal?

This country is also the birth place of Genghis Khan.

-Trev?

-Mongolia.

-Is it Mongolia?

Yes, it is. Well done, Trev. Excellent. Trevor gets a life now.

A new life, which could strengthen all of you as a team,

because you might come across it as a two,

or take a life from Sam just to keep her in the game.

-I'll take a life off Sam.

-Fair enough.

-Take a life off Sam.

-OK, that's kind of predictable, Sam.

-Yeah.

Don't take that too personally. You were just doing too well

and nobody likes a clever dick, to tell you the honest truth. Trevor...

Sam's had it all her own way so far. You get to choose the next category.

World leaders, theatre, business.

-World leaders.

-World leaders, all right.

The next three questions will be on World leaders.

But where will they be asked? Let's ask the big question.

Stick together, £2,500.

If you break away now, £6,100 for themselves.

That's the stark financial information.

Would anybody like to break away?

OK, Sam. Sam has chosen to break away.

Sam, come and join me on the Breakaway track.

You've broken away on question 12.

There are still 18 questions between you and that finish line.

If you cross that line, £6,100 for yourself.

But the question is, can you get there on your own?

If you want, you can ask one player to come and join you, OK?

You get to share their knowledge, but also,

if you went through that line together, you'd split the money.

-Would you like to ask somebody to come and join you?

-Yes.

Yes, you would. Sam, who would you like to ask to come and join you?

-Alan.

-Alan. You're going to ask Alan to come and join you.

Do you want to come and join me?

-Not this time, Sam.

-OK.

-But good luck.

-Thank you.

-That's always a possibility,

that people will say no. Don't worry.

In three questions' time, should you get there,

you'll have another chance to ask somebody

to join you. The questions are on world leaders.

Question 13...

In 1974, who became

the first American president to resign from office?

-OK, very quickly stepped forward.

-Richard Nixon?

Sam says Richard Nixon. Is Richard Nixon correct?

Yes, well done. Good start. Nice to get that under your belt.

Another £300 is added. £1,000.

Question 14...

Which Welsh town links the first female Prime Minister of Australia

with the TV sitcom Gavin and Stacey?

15 seconds.

10 seconds.

Five seconds. You've stepped forward, Sam.

Well, I'm going to say Barry Island.

-OK.

-Or Barry.

-You're going to say Barry. Is the answer Barry?

It is, well done. OK, very good. £1,300. Doing really, really well.

One more question to get to the break point, then you can take stock.

Question 15...

Forest Whitaker won an Oscar for his portrayal

of Idi Amin in which 2006 film?

15 seconds.

Five seconds. OK, you've stepped forward. Sam, answer?

-The Last King Of Scotland.

-The Last King Of Scotland is your answer.

-You look very doubtful there.

-I am.

-A really hesitant step forward,

as if you didn't want to go, like you were stepping into a puddle.

Is the answer The Last King Of Scotland?

-Yes, it is.

-Whoa!

-It is. £1,600. That looks very, very, very nice.

Now, we have our last chance to win a life.

Who, what or where is this?

This BBC sitcom began in 2007 and, as of 2011,

there have been four series broadcast.

Created by Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin...

-Alan?

-Outnumbered.

-Is the answer Outnumbered?

-Yes!

-Finally! finally, Alan buzzes in early

and gets his life. Now...

Alan, a new life into the game.

Take Trevor's life, take a life off Sam. Your decision.

I will bring a new life into the game.

-OK, so Alan brings a new life into the game.

-Good choice!

OK, Alan, you get to choose a subject now.

-Theatre and business we have left.

-We'll go for business.

-OK, remember,

this is for Sam to answer.

Three questions on business. You have a decision to make now.

-Would you like somebody to come and join you?

-No.

-No? OK.

Sam, question 16.

Which businessman bought the Daily Mirror in 1984?

15 seconds.

Ten seconds.

Sam?

-Um, Rupert Murdoch.

-Sam says Rupert Murdoch.

Is the answer Rupert Murdoch?

No, it's not. Sam, you need to take a step back.

The answer was Robert Maxwell. Robert Maxwell, OK.

You've just refused some help.

-Yeah.

-Now you get a question wrong and you lose a life.

Still question 16.

In 1968, which businessman founded the company Amstrad?

15 seconds. Straight away, she steps forward. Our answer?

-Alan Sugar.

-Alan Sugar. Is it Alan Sugar?

Yes, it is. OK, that's nice. That's nice.

Another £300. £1,900.

Question 17...

In 2010, which Liberal Democrat MP

was appointed Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills?

15 seconds.

Five seconds. You need to answer if you can, Sam. Sam?

-Um...

-You've got to give an answer.

-Ed Vaizey.

-All right, OK.

-You looked really uncomfortable about that.

-yeah.

Is the answer Ed Vaizey?

It's Vince Cable. Take a step back, Sam.

-Sam, that's another life gone.

-Yeah.

All your lives have gone.

If you get another question wrong

before you reach that break point, and maybe get somebody to join you,

-you will be out of the game.

-Yeah.

-You know that? You understand that?

Question 17.

Step forward. Stretch for it.

-Answer?

-Richard Branson.

I could see you going, "Ooh."

Is it Richard Branson?

OK. Well done. £2,200. We're over £2,000 now.

Racking it up nicely.

They're licking their lips, because if you do go out, that money goes across to them.

Question 18.

In 2011, businesswoman Hilary Devey

replaced James Caan on which TV series?

-Steps forward straight away. Answer?

-Dragons' Den.

You look very confident. Is the answer Dragons' Den?

It is, it is, it is. £2,500.

You've crawled, I have to say, to the next break point.

Could have been different. Let's see what the last subject is.

You have no choice on this, of course. It is theatre.

I'm guessing... Well, I won't guess. You tell me.

-Would you like somebody to join you?

-I would.

You'd like somebody to come and join you. Who would you like to ask?

I'll try Alan again.

Totally your decision.

Alan, would you like to come and join her?

I'm going to take a gamble and let her go on her own.

OK. All right, then.

OK, Sam.

Three questions on theatre and then you can ask again.

First, let's get through question 19.

Yeah.

Is the answer Kevin Spacey?

Course it is! Course it's Kevin Spacey. £3,400.

We've reached the final round and just nine questions remain.

From this point on, the questions are pot luck.

They can be on any subject whatsoever, but because this

is the real endgame of the show, you can have 30 seconds to answer.

You've done really well on your own.

-Do you want somebody to come and join you?

-Yes.

-Who would you like to ask to come and join you?

Meaning "Christ Child," what name is given

to the climate pattern that occurs in the Pacific region?

-Don't know.

-It's not El Nino, is it?

Ah. That means "small boy" in Spanish or something like that.

-Should we go for that?

-I think that sounds like a good one to go for.

-I'll go for it.

-Fingers crossed.

-OK.

El Nino.

Lots of discussion about it meaning "little boy" and all that.

Is it El Nino?

Well done, well done.

Question 26.

Which London-born rapper has starred in the films Harry Brown,

Adulthood and 4, 3, 2, 1?

OK. It's not a current rapper, it's one who's been around a few years.

It's not someone like Tinie Tempah.

-It's not Dizzee Rascal or anything?

Five seconds. You're going to have to step forward soon. Four, three...

Don't lose your chance. Two seconds. Go!

-Phew! You mustn't get left behind. Answer.

-Dizzee Rascal.

You're gong to go for Dizzee Rascal.

I looked at you both when it was a rapper question.

Is it Dizzee Rascal?

The answer is Plan B. Take a step back.

The money stays but one of you is going. It's up to them to decide.

Sam's done most of the work.

-If one of them's going to win I think Sam should because...

-No! No!

I think Sam's stronger.

I'm trying to be nice cos I was evil before.

If I go for Sam it means that Katie will go any way,

so we'll all go Katie.

Katie, I'm afraid the game's over. Thank you so much.

-Thanks very much, Katie.

-Cheers.

The first thing you need to do is get the next question right.

You have no lives, you have no room for error.

-Two questions to go until you can ask somebody to join you. OK?

-OK.

Question 26.

You work well on your own, but I know you've been looking.

"When's that red line coming so I can ask somebody to join me?"

-Do you want to ask somebody to come and join you?

-Yes, please.

All right. Who would you like to ask to join you?

I think I've got to go with Trev.

-Trev, would you like to come and join Sam?

-Yeah, go on, then.

OK, Trev, come and join Sam on the Breakaway track.

-Nice to meet you.

-You too.

-It's a long way!

She's done wonderfully well, Trev.

We're so close to the line,

if Trev was to fall over, his head would touch it.

Three questions for £6,100 for you to share.

Question 28.

Who married Catherine Hogarth in 1836?

Henry VIII?

1836.

Who married Catherine Hogarth in 1836?

-You've got 30 seconds.

-It isn't Henry VIII.

-Oh, unless it's Shakespeare.

-No, 18th... That's 16th as well.

Oh, yeah, that's definitely 1776. Um, are you sure Catherine

is not one of Henry VIII's six wives?

-No, 1600s, 1500s, he was.

-Are you absolutely...? OK.

-You have to step forward.

-He was before Queen Victoria.

-I'm going to go for Henry VIII if you don't know.

-Come forward. Go on.

-Henry VIII.

-Henry VIII is the answer.

-Sorry, Peter.

Henry VIII.

Wow. A good 300 years out.

-The answer is Charles Dickens.

-Oh.

Right. You could put more pressure on by taking off the life.

You put more pressure on by taking somebody out of the game. It's your decision.

What are your thoughts?

We should definitely perform a brainectomy and take away a brain.

-I think so.

-Yeah?

-Yeah, definitely.

-We're saying Sam?

-Sam, yup.

Sam, you've made this game really, really interesting,

but you're not going to be here at the end, Sam. Bye-bye.

-Thanks.

-Thank you. OK.

Trev, you're on your own, you have a life,

you've got three questions to get through there, £6,100.

-You could do this.

-I could.

-That is a very big word, though.

-Good luck.

Question 28.

Which comedienne wrote the TV sitcom Dinnerladies?

30 seconds. Straight away he steps forward. Answer?

-Victoria Wood.

-You say Victoria Wood. Is it Victoria Wood?

You're a third of the way there.

Question 29.

Which London store was established in the 18th century

by a shopkeeper and a footman in Queen Anne's household?

-What's the answer?

-Bit of a guess, but I'd say Harrods.

Is it Harrods?

Take your time and look at the question. Take a step back.

The question had two people in it, the answer is Fortnum and Mason.

-You lose, I'm afraid, that life. You need to get this question right.

-OK.

It's question 29. If you don't get it right, you are out, OK?

What is the third letter of the Greek alphabet?

30 seconds.

What are you thinking?

Alpha's definitely the first, beta's definitely the second.

There's delta, epsilon, loads of them.

Uh...Omega's the last one, theta's in there somewhere.

I'm going to go.

Delta.

You say the answer is delta.

Is the answer delta?

Trevor, the answer is gamma. I'm afraid, Trev,

-the game's over.

-OK. Thank you.

-Thank you.

So, you are back. Please come and join me on question 29.

You've bided your time.

Alan, the man who likes to say no, Dan, who's all hair and shoes

and Karen, who believes she should have been asked to cross anyway,

don't you, Karen?

You are here, I wouldn't say, entirely on your own merit.

Certainly the money, which now goes across to you, £5,500,

has been won mostly by other people,

but the fact is, it is yours to share from this moment.

But, if you get the next question wrong,

you know what happens on that side.

You cannot afford an error. £5,500 will become zero pounds.

Question 29.

How many stars are there on the national flag of Australia?

-30 seconds.

-Does anyone know?

I don't. I, personally, have no idea.

-Do you know?

-No?

-We'll have to guess this.

Could we guess it's like the number of states, which is, I think, seven?

-15 seconds.

-Go for it, Dan. Go on, then.

Do you think so?

As a guess, seven.

If it is wrong, and you've admitted it's a guess,

you go down to nothing. Is the answer...seven?

Oh, no.

Take a step back. The answer is six.

I've a feeling there are six states in Australia.

I don't know where you got the seventh one from,

but the fact is, you got it wrong

and you're back down from 5,500 to zero.

You have to make the best of what we have left.

The question is still question 29.

By what name was 18th-century pirate Edward Teach better known?

-He's...

-Blackbeard.

-Go on, Karen.

-OK, Karen steps forward. Answer?

-Blackbeard.

-OK, is it Blackbeard?

Step forward. We have reached the next break point.

Get the next question right, you've got £200 to share between you.

Break away now, you will have £400 for yourself.

Would anybody like to break away?

Dan. Dan has chosen to break away. Dan,

come and join me on the Breakaway track.

OK. One question to go, but you do have the option

of asking somebody to join you.

Would you like to ask anybody to join you?

-Yeah.

-Yes, OK. Go on, then, who do you want to ask?

Purely because he's got a life, I'll go for Alan.

-Alan, do you want to come and join Dan?

-I think I may as well, by now.

So, one question to go. Question 30.

What was the name of the world's first test-tube baby, born in 1978?

Step forward if you know the answer, you've got 30 seconds.

-Do you know this?

-I've no idea.

-I'm trying to remember her name. Oh, no.

That's kind of the way it works.

Remembering stuff, that's the tricky part.

Remembering stuff, that's part of it. 20 seconds.

Big smile from Karen. Karen knows. 16 seconds.

You have to step forward eventually. Ten seconds.

I can't think of her name, I'm sorry.

Step forward. You have to make a guess.

Come on, five seconds, four seconds, three seconds... Dan.

-Michaela.

-Michaela...?

-Strachan.

-Is it Michaela Strachan?

-Take a step back.

-I was just bluffing.

I only know her surname was Brown. Was it Claire?

The answer was Louise Brown, but, Karen, you've got a chance

to eliminate Dan now, if you want, or take a life off Alan.

I'll get rid of a brain, I think.

-Dan, bye-bye.

-See you later, guys.

We are still at a break point.

Would you like somebody to come and join you?

No, I'll take the next question, please, Nick.

You're not going to ask Karen to come and join you?

-Not for now.

-OK. One question correct and you will win £400 for yourself.

It's question 30.

Which South American country's name means "Land of silver?"

-Do you know this?

-Ah-ah-ah!

You can consult with somebody you haven't asked to join you!

15 seconds coming up.

-OK. Answer?

-I don't even think it's in South America. El Salvador?

Is the answer El Salvador?

Take a step back. Argentina.

-AR.

-Yeah.

-Mm.

-OK, so. Alan.

-Yes?

-You lose a life.

-We're back at a break point.

-So we are.

And you have the chance to ask somebody to come and join you.

-Would you like to do that?

-Would you like to come and have a go, Karen?

-Oh, you want me now?

-I'd be tempted to say no, quite frankly, Karen.

Remember - if you get the question wrong, you will be eliminated,

because neither of you have lives, there's nobody to pick anybody,

the last person that comes in is eliminated.

So, Karen, would you like to come and join Alan?

I will. I will. Thank you, Alan, that's very kind.

Get this question wrong, Karen is out of the game.

Question 30.

The name of which Italian cheese translates as "sweet milk?"

-We've got Parmesan.

-Gorgonzola.

What's the one they use in cheesecake? That sweet one?

-21 seconds. 20 seconds.

-Panna cotta?

-Panna cotta?

Translates as "sweet milk."

Oh, what's the cheesecake one?

We're going to have to have a guess, aren't we?

-I think we should say panna cotta, then, do you?

-OK, I will let you go.

-Answer?

-Panna cotta?

-Is it panna cotta?

-Ooh!

-Step back. Should have gone through the words, not the cheeses.

Dolcelatte, dolce meaning sweet, latte meaning milk, dolcelatte.

Karen, I'm afraid you're out of the game. Thanks very much.

Alan, if you get this question wrong this time,

you go home and nobody crosses the line.

Nobody wins anything at all.

Question 30.

The Three Choirs Festival alternates between the cathedrals of Hereford,

Worcester and which other city?

-30 seconds.

-Right.

Time to work it out.

Quite a lot of times you've not been working these out. Have a think.

Well, the problem is, I haven't got a clue.

Hereford, Worcester, it's the area...

15 seconds.

Five seconds. You need to step forward and answer. Four seconds...

-OK. Answer, Alan?

-Birmingham.

If the answer is not Birmingham, you go home and I'm very, very lonely.

Is the answer...

Birmingham?

Oh, no. The answer is Gloucester.

Alan, it's been great fun having you, but I'm afraid now, you're off.

Thank you.

What a bizarre game.

Sam nearly made it all the way with so much money

and then they came one after another,

they fell like some sort of terrible ending to the Grand National,

and in the end I was left all on my own and nobody won anything.

Join us next time, when six more players must decide

between safety in numbers or standing out from the crowd,

and let's hope that somebody gets over that line.

Goodbye.
