Episode 5 Breakaway

Hello and welcome to Breakaway.

There's up to £10,000 to be won for crossing this finish line.

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 Carolyn, I'm a retired farmer's wife from Bakewell.

Hi, I'm Art and I'm a politics student from London.

Hello, I'm Rachel, I'm a website administrator from Dudley.

Hi, I'm Paddy, I'm a financial advisor from Suffolk.

Hello, I'm Sue, I'm an airline sales agent from West Sussex.

Hi, I'm Alan, a sales and marketing executive

from South Gloucestershire.

Please take your place on the start line.

25 correct answers stand between you and the finish line.

Every correct answer earns £100 for you all to share at the end.

But any one of you can, if you want, break away from the pack.

If you cross the finish line on this track,

the entire prize fund could be yours.

If you break away, each of these questions is worth £400

which is great,

but you could face instant elimination, which is not so good.

Today's categories are there on the screen,

and the first questions will be on...

..fruit and veg.

Something I think we all know something about.

Now, before we start the questions,

you have an important decision to make.

You'll be given the chance to break away now

and after every three questions.

Break away points are marked on the track.

There they are. Those are the moments you can make big decisions

and earn big money.

You will have five seconds to decide,

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

For the chance to go now and win £10,000,

does anybody want to break away?

Fine. We'll stay together as a team.

There's six of you. A solid six you are.

You've 15 seconds to answer each question.

One and only one of you

must step forward and answer before the time runs out.

-Are we all ready?

-ALL: Yes.

-Good.

-Let's make this a good one.

-OK.

Question one.

-Bananas.

-Go for it.

-Art.

-Bananas.

Art says bananas. He's very confident and indeed very tall.

Is the answer bananas?

It is. Well done. Step forward. We have £100. That's the way it works.

Very simple, isn't it?

Question two.

Crudites.

Carolyn.

Crudites.

Is the answer crudites?

I wonder why people make such a fuss.

It's such an easy game. Listen to the question, give the right answer,

we give you money. Question three.

Is it Tabasco sauce? Tabasco?

It's a pepper.

10 seconds left.

- I don't know. - Is it a pepper?

-Down to five seconds.

-We've got nothing else.

-Four seconds.

-Go on.

-Sue.

-Tabasco?

-Sue looks to me like a girl that knows her cocktails.

Is the answer Tabasco?

Oh, well done.

A perfect start.

Three questions, £300, three correct answers.

Worked well as a team, different people chipping in.

That's the way to do it. We've reached today's second break point

and that means that you have a chance to win a life.

Now, you've all been playing together, and that's very important,

but lives go to individuals.

These lives will protect you

if you were to get a question wrong on this Breakaway track.

The lives are a buffer

between ignorance and failure, if you like.

Two words I don't associate with any of you, I have to say.

First person to buzz in and answer correctly will win the first life.

There are four lives during the course of the game.

One here, and then three more at the next three break points.

Question's always the same, who, where or what is this?

This pop star was born in Bromley, London in 1991.

She received a scholarship to attend

the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts

and appeared as a sewer child in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

in the West End.

BUZZER

-Paddy.

-Is it Adele, Nick?

Is it Adele?

OK, no. Paddy's out of this for the rest of this question.

-Her debut single, Mama Do, was released...

-BUZZER

Art.

Eliza Doolittle.

Is the answer Eliza Doolittle?

No, it's not. Art is now out.

Her debut single, Mama Do, was released... Rachel.

-Pixie Lott.

-If it is Pixie Lott, Rachel has the first life.

Is the answer Pixie Lott?

Well done, Rachel. Rachel gets the first life.

It's very early in the game,

but it's an early score for Rachel, makes her a bit more powerful.

So she chooses the next category. Which would you like to choose?

-I think I'd like to go for World Cup football, please.

-OK.

Rachel has chosen World Cup football.

I can't be sure whether that's a strong suit for Rachel

or a weak suit, but that's the one she has chosen.

The next three questions will be on World Cup football.

They may be asked to all of you,

or maybe somebody is thinking of breaking away.

Early in the game, I know.

But if you were to stick together now

and go through the tape together,

£2,500 to share between you.

If you wished to break away now, and made it all the way on your own

on this side of the track,

£9,100 could be yours.

Would anybody like to break away?

Let's get on with World Cup football.

Question four.

-Germany.

-Definitely.

-Shall I go for this one?

-Yeah, go for it.

We are very polite to each other here. Alan.

-Germany.

-Alan says Germany. Is the answer Germany?

Well done. All step forward.

I'm a little bit worried about the conferring between Alan and Art,

who look over everybody's heads.

Like two giraffes in a housing estate.

Well done, though. Another £100. £400.

Question five.

-Ronaldo.

-It is, it's Ronaldo.

-Do you want to go for it?

-Paddy.

-We think it's Ronaldo, Nick.

We think it's Ronaldo, do we? Is the answer Ronaldo?

His 15th goal in the finals.

Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima is his full name.

That's easy for you to say.

Question six.

-1990.

-1990. Italia '90.

-Who wants to go?

-Take it. Go on Art, you go.

Art's stepped forward. Art.

-1990.

-Art says it's 1990.

There was some discussion, some agreement.

Some people are just looking nonplussed.

Is the answer 1990?

Six questions, £600,

six correct answers. Well done. Perfect start.

Working beautifully as a team.

And we've reached the next break point.

And the next chance to win a life.

Rachel already has a life.

Rachel gets a second, she's starting to look really, really strong.

Rachel, who wants to become a lawyer, is that right, eventually?

-That's right.

-Good luck to you.

-Thank you.

Question's always the same, who, where or what is this?

First one to buzz in and answer correctly.

This landmark building was erected from 1473 to '81,

by the architect Giovanni dei Dolci for Pope Sixtus IV,

-for great...

-BUZZER

-Art.

-The Leaning Tower of Pisa.

-Is it the Leaning Tower of Pisa?

Art's out for the rest of the question.

-..for Pope Sixtus IV for great...

-BUZZER

-Alan.

-The Vatican.

-Is the answer the Vatican?

-OK, Alan is now out. ..for great ceremonial occasions...

-BUZZER

Rachel.

Is it St Peter's Basilica?

Is it St Peter's Basilica?

No. We're going through the guide book here, aren't we?

..for great ceremonial occasions, such as papal elections.

Its lower side walls were covered with a series of gospel...

-BUZZER

-Carolyn.

Is it the Sistine Chapel?

Is it, as we travel around Rome, the Sistine Chapel?

-Now.

-Well done.

-Carolyn, well done.

-Thank you.

-You get your life. Fantastic for you.

You've travelled a bit yourself?

-Yes, been to Rome many times.

-Have you, have you?

-Yes.

And you went to Canada, on a rugby tour.

-Yes. I was the only woman.

-Only woman? Was that by accident?

-It was awful. It was awful.

-What position did you play?

-No comment.

-No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it in that way, Carolyn,

thank you very much.

Carolyn's won the life, Carolyn

gets to choose the next category. Animation, words and language, musical instruments or transport.

-Transport.

-Transport, says Carolyn.

Next three questions will be on transport. Could be good for Alan.

Alan, I think, started training as a pilot, and you'd like to fly your family to the Channel Islands?

-I will bring them back.

-Yeah. I'm just interested.

I would like you to finish training as a pilot

before you take your family to the Channel Islands. Just something to think about.

You can go with an instructor, it's fine.

I'm sure you can. Three questions on transport.

Will it be for the team or will it be for an individual?

It's a break away point. If you were to stick together,

you had a perfect start, £2,500.

You've done perfectly well as a team, no need to change.

If you feel like changing, and you were to change,

and you were to break away and go through on your own,

£8,200, still a lot of money.

Let me ask you the question,

does anybody want to break away?

I'm glad, at least, that our pilot doesn't take risks. That's one thing,

that makes me feel good. Three questions on transport, £100 each.

Question seven.

Was it Morris Minor? It's got to be Morris Minor.

-Yeah. Shall I go with it?

-Go for the Morris Minor, yeah.

-Sue.

-It's the Morris Minor.

Is it the Morris Minor?

Well done, Sue. In production from 1948 to 1971, the Morris Minor.

Question eight.

-Baker Street.

-Baker Street, isn't it? Yeah.

-Shall I?

-Yeah, go on.

-Rachel.

-Baker Street.

-Is the answer Baker Street?

-Well done.

-Well done.

£800. Just flying through here.

Baker Street I think reached number three.

Good song, though. Question nine.

-There we go, Carolyn.

-Do you agree?

-Bavarian Motor Works?

-There's nothing else we've got.

-Do you think? Is that OK?

-Sounds right.

-Six seconds. Five seconds.

-Carolyn.

-Bavarian Motor Works.

You've gone with Carolyn's decision. Remember, if Carolyn's wrong,

-that £800 could go down to zero.

-Oh.

All right? But she's the one who's stepped forward.

Is the answer Bavarian Motor Works?

-Yes.

-Well done. £900.

It's a translation of Bayerische Motoren Werke.

Or something like that.

I could have said that.

Congratulations. Well done, Carolyn, especially. £900,

nine correct answers. This is a perfect game.

You've reached the next break away point,

and the next chance to catch yourself a life.

to win that life that could protect you. Carolyn has one,

Rachel has one. They get two, they're looking really strong.

There's only one more life after this.

Who, where or what is this?

This US city was first settled by Spanish colonists in the 1770s,

ceded to the US in 1846 during the Mexican War,

the discovery of gold in 1849...

BUZZER

-Art.

-New Mexico? Aw. Yeah. Oh.

One answer and one answer only. Is the answer New Mexico?

-Bad luck.

-It's a state.

-You've been brave each time. You've gone strongly.

-BUZZER

-Alan.

-California.

Alan says California. Is the answer California?

-Two big boys prematu...

-BUZZER

Ooh. Paddy.

-Is it San Diego, Nick?

-Paddy says, "Is it San Diego?"

The discovery of gold in 1849 led to its rapid growth.

-In 1859, silver...

-BUZZER

-Carolyn.

-I'm going to guess San Francisco.

Is it San Francisco?

-Well done.

-Well done.

Carolyn. Carolyn gets a second life.

She's looking very strong. Carolyn gets to choose

the next subject category. Animation, words and language, musical instruments.

-Animation.

-Animation, says Carolyn.

Animation is the subject the next three questions are going to be on.

Are we going to be a team or is somebody getting ready

to break away?

It's as you were. Perfect start.

£2,500 to share between you if you stay together.

Break away now, go on your own, £7,300.

Still a lot of money but, each time you delay,

the money goes down quite a bit.

£900 each three questions. There's one more life to be won.

Simple question. Does anybody want to break away?

-Carolyn looked like she might be ready.

-No.

-Carolyn?

-The wrong subjects are up there.

You've done very well considering, when you applied,

you actually put down your name, I seem to remember, as Alfred Lord Tennyson.

-It was the answer to the first question and I misread it, so...

-Well, beware of that.

-Yes.

-Don't get ahead of yourself.

-Yes, yes.

Right, we are back in the game as a team, which is lovely.

Anyway, you're all still here, that's important.

The money is reducing but it's still available.

There's a lot of money to be won in this game.

A lot of money. Question ten.

-Was it The Lion King?

-Yeah, that's what I thought.

-10 seconds.

-Go for it.

-Rachel.

-The Lion King.

-Is it The Lion King?

Yes it is. Well done.

Also won best original song

for Can You Feel The Love Tonight?

-Thanks.

-What was Rowan Atkinson...?

You're doing really well. Everybody's chipping in,

you're making a lovely team.

Paddy, I'm chuffed you've stayed awake, because I know

that you do have a problem, do you not?

At night-times you have been stopped several times

by the authorities for sleep-jogging.

The right authorities, I think anyone can say.

Sleep-jogging is a defence I've tried, but it didn't work

for me, I have to say,

for running in the street during the night with no clothes on,

but clearly it worked for you. Question 11.

-Jennifer Saunders?

-Yeah, Jennifer Saunders.

Carolyn steps forward. Carolyn?

-Jennifer Saunders.

-Is it Jennifer Saunders?

Rupert Everett and Jonathan Ross

also in the cast.

£1,100.

Ticking along beautifully as a team. Question 12.

-It's Mel...

-Mel Blanc, isn't it?

-Yes.

-Alan?

-OK.

-Alan.

-Mel Blanc.

Is it Mel Blanc?

-Well done.

-Well done.

We've reached the next break point.

We have £1,200, 12 correct answers,

no errors, playing really, really well.

We've reached the final life. This is when everything shakes down.

We know where we stand. Carolyn's hoping to have three stars.

And she'll look like she's the top McDonald's employee.

Who, where or what is this?

This historical figure was the third Roman emperor,

ruling from 37 to 41 AD.

His real name was Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus

-but he is known by his nickname.

-BUZZER

-Art.

-Julius Caesar?

Is the answer Julius Caesar?

-His nickname means Little Boot.

-BUZZER

-Sue.

-I Claudius.

-I Claudius?

Is the Answer I Claudius?

-His nickname, which means Little Boots or Boot...

-BUZZER

-I think that might be Caligula.

-Is the answer,

for Carolyn to look very strong, Caligula?

Yes, it is. Well done Carolyn. Well done. Caligula is correct.

Carolyn has three lives.

Carolyn can barely disguise her joy.

Oh, she's excited.

Carolyn, not only do you have three lives,

you choose the next category. You're very much in control of this game.

Words and language or musical instruments?

-Musical instruments.

-Musical instruments she chooses.

-Carolyn, were you a teacher?

-Yes.

-What did you teach?

-Well, children mostly.

-Yes.

-History, mainly.

-History. OK.

Just finding out whether it might have been music, that was all.

-Oh, no, no.

-Maybe you were plotting to make that break at the moment.

The next three questions will be on musical instruments.

But I'm wondering if they'll just be for Carolyn

because it's time to decide...

..whether to break away.

Don't get left behind.

Somebody might go and you may never get involved in the game again.

There are no more lives to be won.

The basic fact is,

stay together, £2,500.

You're working beautifully as a team.

Break away now and go through on your own...

£6,400.

Does anybody want to break away?

Like rabbits in the headlights, you're staying where you are.

Maybe we want to get through musical instruments as a team.

Well, that's what you're going to have to do. Question 13.

Violin.

--

-Violin, yes.

--

-Shall I go?

Art.

-Violin.

-Violin. Is the answer violin?

Lovely. Well done.

That's nice, isn't it? There's £100.

Could have been £400 if you'd been over here.

Question 14.

-Woodwind.

-Woodwind, yes.

-Yep.

-Shall I go?

-Go on.

-Sue.

-Woodwind.

-Sue says woodwind.

Is the answer woodwind?

That's your traditional answer,

unless it was hidden somewhere else. But yes, woodwind. £1,400.

One more question to the next break point.

Quite easy questions, these.

Maybe you thought, "Oh, I could have broken away there". Never mind.

Question 15.

-Is it a ukulele, maybe?

-I don't know.

-It looks like a banjo.

--

-Never seen the film.

--

-What else looks like a banjo?

-10 seconds.

-No idea.

-Spanish guitar?

-Shall we just have a...?

-Go for it.

-Six seconds, five seconds, four seconds.

-Go on.

Three seconds. Alan.

-I'm going to go for a ukulele.

-Alan's going to go for a ukulele.

-Have you seen Deliverance?

-I've seen that scene.

Is the answer ukulele?

-Is it guitar, maybe?

-Spanish guitar.

I'm afraid you have to take a step back, Alan.

Deliverance just doesn't feel like the sort of film

that could have featured George Formby.

That's how I feel about that. That would have been my worry.

The answer is guitar.

-It's a guitar.

-A bit obvious.

-Did anybody say it?

-Afterwards, yeah.

-Paddy said it?

-Afterwards.

All right, the situation is this. You have £1,400.

That £1,400 is going to go down to zero unless

either Rachel or Carolyn

is willing to give up a life to save it for the team.

Their decision. Only they can make it.

They will have five seconds. If one of them buzzes in,

the money is saved.

If neither of them buzz in, the money goes down to zero.

The time starts now.

-Sorry.

-Rachel did it.

Rachel gave up her life. Carolyn was so quick to say sorry,

nobody noticed that Rachel had sacrificed her life for the team.

£1,400 is saved.

It would have gone down to zero. Rachel does not have a life.

-I think you all owe Rachel.

-We do.

I thought Carolyn would go first.

-I thought Carolyn might have gone first, too.

-I'm a meanie.

She has her own agenda.

It is a team game but, ultimately, you have to play for yourselves.

We're still on the final question on musical instruments,

as long as we get it right, and we must get it right.

Question 15.

-Five.

-Yeah.

-Five.

-Can I redeem myself?

-Yeah.

I'm not sure it will happen. Alan.

-I'm not going to say ukulele. Five.

-Is the answer five?

-Well done.

-It's a kind of redemption, isn't it?

Alan's a contortionist. He didn't get out of that tight spot,

I have to say. We've reached the next break point.

There are no more lives to be earned. We know that.

We're onto the final category. The final category is words and language.

Right, the next three questions will be on words and language

but it's another break point, another decision to be made.

If you're going to go, you've got to go some time.

Nothing will change. None of you have a life, apart from Carolyn.

And it's perfectly possible to come across here and breeze through.

There's a chance of taking somebody with you.

You're doing well as a team but there comes a time when you've got to be tempted

to go for the big money. Maybe it's now.

If you stay together, £2,500. Thanks, Rachel.

If you were to break away on your own now...

£5,500.

Righty-ho. First to buzz in

will get the chance to break away, if, indeed, any of you do.

Does anybody want to break away?

ALARM

Alan, the ukulele, wants to break away.

Alan, come and join me on the Breakaway track.

Alan has broken away on question 15.

There are 10 questions remaining.

If you were to go all the way now, Alan,

£5,500 would be yours.

You could finish training as a pilot.

-OK. You could buy Deliverance.

-Yes, and watch it.

And learn which musical instruments are played in it.

The question is can you get there on your own?

You know errors can be made, you've made one. We all make errors.

Sometimes it helps to have a bit of support.

You can ask somebody to join you.

You share their knowledge, they share the money.

It's your decision. So, Alan,

do you think you would like to ask somebody to come and join you?

I think I would be greedy

if I went on my own. I'd be happy to share.

I see, you're making out that this is some sort of kind gesture.

-Altruistic.

-Yeah.

Well, I feel like I've deserted five people, so let's make it four.

When you say you feel like you've deserted five people...

Yes, you have deserted five people.

-Rachel, who do you think he'll ask?

-I think he'll take Carolyn.

You don't think he'll take you after you gave your life up?

-No.

-Paddy, who do you think he'll ask?

I think he wants to take Carolyn but I don't know if she'll say yes at this stage.

Does anybody think he isn't going to ask Carolyn?

-Just to be awkward.

-Carolyn, you don't have to say yes

-but let's find out first if he is going to ask you.

-I know, I know.

-Alan, who would you like to ask to come and join you?

-I would like to ask Carolyn, please.

-Carolyn, would you like to come and join Alan?

-I would love to.

-Stand next to him.

-Thank you very much.

-OK. Let's just hope we do it.

Bold play, Alan, in many ways. I mean, clearly, she's a great player.

She's looking very, very strong. Bear in mind,

if you get a question wrong while you're over here, they can pick you off.

A life has to go, and you haven't got one, so it could be you sent home.

Equally, she could carry you all the way through

and you could share the money. All right? Are we ready? Good.

Question 16.

-Live And Let Die.

-Yes. Well done, you.

Alan steps forward. Alan.

-Live and Let Die.

-OK. Is the answer Live And Let Die?

Yes, it is. Well done. Do you speak French, Alan?

Oui, un petit peu.

Well, you spoke that much, anyway. £400 is added on.

£1,900 .

One successfully negotiated question.

Question 17.

-Smell, yeah?

-Smell.

-Do you want to step forward?

-OK.

-Carolyn.

-Smell.

-Smell.

Alan did that and I thought he wasn't going to tell you.

That was my worry, I thought, "This is no time to be coy."

I thought he was giving me a hint. I don't know.

Is the answer smell?

Yes it is. Well done. Another £400,

another question negotiated.

£2,300. It's nice over here, isn't it? Just now.

-For now, yeah.

-For now.

-Question 18.

-Fatal Attraction.

-Fatal Attraction, yes. Do you want to go?

-Take it in turns.

-Alan.

-Fatal Attraction.

Is the answer Fatal Attraction?

Well done. Three out of three.

£2,700.

Are you thinking back there,

"Those were easy questions.

We could've got those"? It's what happens if you're brave enough to break away.

Cos the questions are the same over here as they are over there.

You're doing beautifully. We're at a break point, it doesn't matter,

the two of you are here, nothing needs to change.

Now, we have reached the final run in.

There are no more categories, just seven questions remain.

From this point on, they're going to be pot luck.

And as we're nearer the end, it's a little bit more tense,

you're going to get 30 seconds to answer each question.

-Are we ready for this?

-Yes. As we'll ever be.

Do we think they're going to make it?

-Bit nervous at the moment.

-Yeah.

-A bit worried.

-A bit worried.

-Yes, yeah.

I'll wager you'll have some more input in this game,

unless they do brilliantly well. I hope that you do. I'm just saying

from experience, there's often a stumble.

Let's hope there isn't. Come on, let's be positive.

I'd love to see you canter through. Much as I'd like you back in the game,

it would be good to see them do it. Carolyn's a strong player.

Alan had the guts to break away. Good for you. Just go for it.

Question 19.

-Profumo, isn't it?

-Yes, the Profumo Affair.

-I can't think of anything else in '63.

-No, no.

-Shall I go for it?

-Carolyn.

-The Profumo Affair.

Is it the Profumo Affair?

Yes, it is. Well done. Another £400.

We crack past £3,000. Six questions to go.

Question 20.

-Oh, my goodness.

-OK.

-Clerkenwell. A wretched place.

Which literary character?

-Is it Dickens?

-Well, I don't know. It could be.

A wretched character, would it be...

-Oh, dear.

-Can we hear the question again?

-Oh, it's Fagin.

-Fagin.

-Five seconds to go.

-Alan.

-Fagin.

OK. Is the answer Fagin?

-Well done.

-Well done.

I don't know where that came from.

That bit of extra time got you there.

-Excellent answer. You played it beautifully.

-It was when you said "den" again.

-I know.

So £3,500. Really good. This is really good. Next question.

Question 21.

-OK.

-Oh, it's either Rhode Island or...

-It's Rhode Island.

-Is it Rhode Island?

-Rhode Island's smaller.

-It is, than Hawaii?

-Delaware but Rhode Island is the smallest.

-23 seconds.

I know Rhode Island... But Hawaii's not smaller, is it?

-No, Rhode Island.

-No, it's got to be Rhode Island. Go on, you do it.

-Alan.

-Rhode Island.

-Rhode Island, Alan. Very insistent

that it's Rhode Island. Carolyn thought it might have been Hawaii.

Is the answer Rhode Island?

£3,900.

We've reached another break point. That doesn't matter.

You're a team together,

you keep on going. One, two, three, four questions break that line.

£5,500 to share between you. Alan knows he's vulnerable.

Just keep answering the questions correctly, you're doing beautifully.

-Are they going to do it?

-Looking better.

They don't want to offer encouragement, that's the trouble.

They want to stay in the game. Question 22.

-OK.

-It's not Please Please...

-'63, it's not Please Please Me. Is it, um...

-All You Need Is Love?

-No, no, no. That's much later.

-I Want To Hold Your Hand.

There's I Want To Hold Your Hand.

-Oh, gosh. I can't think.

-15 seconds.

-I Want To Hold Your Hand.

-10 seconds.

-'63.

I think it's I Want To Hold Your Hand but I'm not sure.

-7 seconds.

-No, '63, it's '69. No, it's not I Want To Hold Your Hand.

-Four.

-It's not I Want To Hold Your Hand.

-Carolyn.

-It's not.

-You need to answer,

-you can't discuss.

-I Want To Hold Your Hand.

Carolyn says I Want To Hold Your Hand. Alan's sure it isn't.

Alan didn't really come up with much else, though.

If it is I Want To Hold Your Hand

that's another £400, another step closer.

If it isn't, Alan could be vulnerable.

Is the answer I Want To Hold Your Hand?

-Step back, Carolyn.

-Yes.

-The answer was She Loves You.

-Oh, of course.

-1.9 million copies sold.

-Of course.

-I missed that out.

-So, let me come back to those behind.

You're not out yet, Alan. It's up to them.

Your decision, people. You can take a life or you can take a player.

-If it was the last question, maybe we would let them stay.

-It's an easy one?

-Yeah, it is, sadly.

Do you want to explain our thinking?

Explain to me what you want to do and why, Art.

Our thinking is that, Alan, although...

To be honest, Alan has led for some, like the Rhode Island one,

they wouldn't have got. Fagin, I think, without Alan...

I'm afraid the slim chance that we have to get back into the game

is going to have to be with Carolyn's one head.

-So, we've...

-You've waffled quite a bit.

Just say who you want to knock out. I don't want to say it, Paddy.

With regret, Alan. Good effort.

Right, Alan.

They've dressed it up to say that you're the stronger player.

You were very bold, you made a play with no lives, you broke away,

it nearly came off for you.

I think you deserve a lot of credit for that. Sadly, no cash, but a lot of credit.

-Well done, Alan.

-Thank you.

-Well played.

Cheers, guys.

Carolyn, you're on your own. You're still in a very strong position.

You've got three lives.

-You've not been on your own over here before.

-No.

You've always had a little bit of help. But you can afford mistakes.

The thing is you've got three questions to go

until you reach a break point

and have a chance to ask anybody to come and join you.

-Yes.

-So, whatever happens, you're on your own...

-For three.

-..for three questions, if you get there.

-If I get there, yes.

-You've the lives.

-Yes.

-You're a strong player. There's no reason you can't go all the way.

-Yes.

-They're watching you.

-Yes.

-They'll have to watch if you keep answering correctly.

-Yes.

-All right, Carolyn.

-Right.

-Question 22.

30 seconds, step forward when you know, if you know.

Oh, it's one of two. Oh, my God. It's one of two.

20 seconds.

-Carolyn.

-Right,

-here goes. Tolstoy.

-Tolstoy. Who was the other one

-you were thinking of?

-Chekhov.

-If the answer's Chekhov, you know you lose a life.

-I've lost a life.

-You know that, don't you?

-I do, yes.

-OK. Is the answer Tolstoy?

-Ooh!

-Well done. Well done. Well done.

Another £400.

-One, two, three questions to go.

-Yes.

-One, two, three lives.

-Right.

-All right?

-Yes.

-Believe.

Question 23.

-Oh, dear.

-30 seconds.

Again, it's a choice of two, isn't it?

It may be for you. I think for them it could be a choice of about 350.

-Well, I've got to go for it.

-OK. Carolyn?

-Iraq.

-OK. Last time you got lucky with your choice.

-I know, but...

-Which was your other option?

-Iran.

OK.

Can't ride your luck all the time.

-No, I know.

-Is the answer Iraq?

Well done. Two questions to go.

Great knowledge. Great knowledge.

Good. Good, calm play.

-You don't look that calm just now.

-No.

Two more questions. In a question's time, if you get it right,

-you could ask somebody to join you.

-Right, OK.

-You have three lives.

-Yes.

-Just remember that.

-Right.

-How are you feeling?

-Oh...

-You needn't ask.

-How are you lot feeling?

- She's doing very well. - She's very strong. Very good.

Art, you actually look just a bit cross.

You look like, "I can't believe I bothered coming now".

Like you say, Paddy, she is doing very, very well. Sue, Rachel,

you've got to hold your hands up.

She has two more questions to go.

Maybe, in a question's time, she'll ask one of you to join her.

Maybe not.

-Right. Are we ready?

-Yes, as I'll ever be.

Question 24.

-30 seconds.

-I think I know this one.

-Well, go for it.

-Take a step forward when you're ready.

-From 1997 until 2001.

Oh, 2001. Oh!

-Oh!

-Oh, oh, oh...

-Carolyn.

-Madeleine Albright.

-Who were you thinking of?

-Hillary Clinton.

-Then I realised she didn't come in till Obama, did she?

-Well, OK,

that's your time. Madeleine Albright is your answer.

Is the answer Madeleine Albright?

£5,100.

-One question to go.

-Right.

-Three lives.

-It's almost worth deliberately answering wrong.

-No.

-But don't do it. Don't tempt fate.

-No, no.

-Now, Carolyn.

-Yes.

-We are at a break point.

-Yes.

You have the chance to bring somebody over with you.

Yes.

What do you think you would like to do?

Well...

No. I'm going to risk it. Sorry, Rachel, I really am.

To be fair, to be fair, come on,

she's done wonderfully well. She deserves a chance.

She deserves a chance to go for it on her own.

She's dominated the game from start to finish,

she has all the lives, she's got so many questions,

she's done really, really well.

-£5,100 is up there.

-Oh.

If anybody deserves £5,500, it's you.

-But you still need to answer the question right.

-Yes.

-You have got lives.

-It would be nice to do it with all those lit up, wouldn't it?

-I'd like to do it any way.

Show boat! I know. We'd all like you to do it.

Maybe there's only four people in the world who don't want you to do it.

-OK, Carolyn, let's do this thing.

-Oh...

-Right. Yes.

-Question 25.

You've got 30 seconds.

Well, I've got three lives, so I'll go for it.

-OK, Carolyn.

-Henry IV.

Carolyn says Henry IV. If the answer is Henry IV,

Carolyn could step through that line, she will have won £5,500.

-If it is not, you need to step back and you will lose a life.

-I know.

Is the answer...

Henry IV?

-Well done, through you go. Fantastic.

-Thank you.

Let's go back and see the others.

Come forward a little bit for me, just to here.

-Well done!

-Thank you.

-Look at the amount.

-I'm sorry, Rachel. I'm sorry.

-You deserved it.

-Carolyn, face this way. You've done wonderfully well.

-Thank you.

Honestly, you've been one of the strongest players we've ever had. You absolutely deserve your £5,500.

You still had three lives, it was a peerless performance.

Absolutely wonderful.

£5,500, what are you going to be able to spend that on, do you think?

Well, I don't know. We've got a house in France.

I'd like to spend a bit on that, cos it does need doing up a bit.

Oh, absolutely. Well, she did wonderfully well.

We're in Burgundy, so I might bring back lots of wine.

-Yeah, well listen, I'll drop you my card. All right?

-OK.

She did wonderfully well, didn't she? She's a very, very, very worthy winner.

I don't think anybody could begrudge you that.

£5,500, that's almost certainly going to be one of the top scores.

We'll probably see you back in the final game of the series.

Maybe you can earn some more money and buy some white wine as well.

-Oh, yes.

-OK, some white Burgundy. We're quite near Chablis.

Oh, perfect, perfect, perfect.

Join us next time when six more players face that tantalising dilemma,

play it safe and share the money,

or risk everything with a breakaway.

Goodbye.

Or I could go to Las Vegas.

-Perfect.

-THEY LAUGH
