Episode 15 Decimate

Three strangers are about to battle this majestic Golden Wall.

It's worth a tantalising £20,000.

Can they work as a team and leave with the cash

or will the Wall come tumbling down?

-DECIMATE.

-This is Decimate.

APPLAUSE

Thank you very much and welcome to Decimate.

Let's meet this beautiful team hoping to win big money today.

I'm Carol, a high school teacher from the Isle of Man.

I'm Chloe, a PhD Zoology student from Cheshire.

I'm Alkamal, an IT administrator from London.

APPLAUSE

What a lovely looking team we have. Welcome to the show, guys.

-Alkamal, how are you, my friend?

-I'm good, I'm good.

-So, you're IT support?

-Yeah.

-You think you're "it", do you? Old gag!

-It's a good one.

-I've heard you're a bit of a traveller as well.

-Is that right?

-Yeah, I try to visit a few countries here and there.

And what would you do with a share of £20,000?

It might have to be a round-the-world trip,

something like that, holidays.

Let's hope you do that, mate. Welcome to the show.

-Chloe. So, PhD Zoology student.

-Yeah, that's me.

-And what are you studying then?

-I study fruit flies.

What? Fruit flies?

-It sounds really boring but they're actually very interesting.

-Really?

If you had to sell me fruit flies, sell it to me now.

OK, they're the basis for every scientific study

-we've ever learnt about. There you go.

-Really?

-Yeah.

What do you like doing in your spare time?

-I really enjoy keeping fit and I'm a keen kickboxer.

-OK.

If you were to win a few quid today, what would you do with it?

My family live in Australia,

so I'd pay for a flight over there to go stay with them.

-Best of luck. Thanks for being here.

-Thank you.

-Carol, what do you teach?

-English and media studies.

-OK, lovely.

-And what ages do you teach?

-11 to 18-year-olds.

-Lovely.

What would you do with a share of £20,000?

-Well, I'd like to go to Sweden.

-OK.

-I've never seen the Northern Lights.

I'd love to see the Northern Lights

and to sing karaoke at the Abba Museum as well.

-Would you really?

-Would I? Yes! Love it.

-Fingers crossed.

Thanks to each of you for being on the show this afternoon.

I hope you have lots of fun.

And I've got a feeling we're going to be lucky.

OK, Carol, Chloe, Alkamal, here's how the show works.

Right here, is our Golden Wall, and it's worth £20,000.

It's divided into ten columns worth £2,000 each.

One at a time, you're going to step forward to face ten questions.

That's one per column.

Get a question right, that column is protected

and it will light up beautifully.

Better than the Northern Lights, Carol. Wait till you see this. Huh!

Look at that!

Get that right, the money will stay in the game,

but get a question wrong, sadly, this is what happens.

DECIMATE.

Yes, the column is wiped out and that cash will be lost for good.

So, the idea is to protect as much money as you can

because once all three of you have played,

that is going to be what is at stake in our end game.

So, team, are we ready to play?

Right, before we do that,

we need to choose one player who's going to step forward in Round One.

To help you decide, I'm going to reveal some key words

which will appear in the first round of ten questions.

Here are your key words.

So, who's going to step forward and face the Golden Wall first?

You guys decide between you.

-I'm not confident.

-I'm not either.

-That's a good start.

-Chloe, straightaway, kickboxer, "I'm not confident."

-OK, I'll go first.

-Are you sure?

-Yeah, I'll go first.

Carol, before you step forward, Chloe and Alkamal,

you have 20 seconds to give as much information to Carol

as possible about these key words.

Are you ready? 20 seconds. Don't let her down. Go.

Young Ones. Cliff Richard and the Young Ones.

-Summer Holiday.

-There's also Young Ones,

the comedy sort of show. It had Rik Mayall in it.

-Who else was in it?

-Ade Edmondson.

-Ade Edmondson was in it.

-What was the Nigel...?

I don't know the other one.

What about Daltonism?

-I have no idea what that is.

-I'm not sure either.

-Right, team, your time is up. How did you find that, Carol?

-Mmm.

-OK.

-I'm not sure. I'll answer later.

-We're going to find out,

-as I ask you to step forward and face the Golden Wall.

-OK.

APPLAUSE

Carol, you're first up.

The whole of the Isle of Man is watching right now.

-I hope not!

-Listen, you're not completely on your own, my love.

-No.

If there's an answer you're not sure about,

you can pass back the question to your teammates.

And if they think you've given a wrong answer,

they can buzz in to overrule and change your answer.

But you only have five overrules and five pass backs

between all three of you over your whole show.

-So, good luck. Ready to play, Carol?

-I am, yes.

-Here we go.

Here comes your first question to protect £2,000 in column number one.

-Right...

-She's a teacher. She's got this!

-I HAVE got this, actually.

-Have you?

-I am really interested in naval history.

-Oh, thank you!

-And I know it's Nelson.

-You know it's Nelson?

-Yeah.

To light up column number one, we're going to lock in Nelson.

If that's right, we're protecting £2,000. Great start to the game.

Is Carol right? Is the correct answer Nelson?

-Great start to the game.

-Yes!

-Well played, sweetheart.

-Pressure's off now. We're up and running.

-I've got one, that's OK.

-Right, to protect column number two and another £2,000...

-OK.

..here comes your next question.

Right, um...

I had a misspent youth, watching an awful lot of American movies.

-Did you really?

-And I spent so long watching courtroom dramas.

I thought you were going to say, "Rocky".

And people say, "I plead the fifth."

So, that's the Fifth Amendment, so I'll go for the Fifth.

-Yeah?

-Yeah, I'm pretty sure of that.

We're going to lock in Fifth Amendment.

The team haven't overruled you. They're counting on you, Carol.

Is Fifth the correct answer to light up column number two?

Yes!

APPLAUSE

-Oh.

-OK, great start to the game.

-Still got five pass backs and five overrules.

-OK.

Question number three.

Do you know, I was worried about that, but...

I love it when you say, "But". You sound confident now.

I've got a memory of being checked out for colour blindness in school.

-Some guy came in.

-Right.

-And I'm pretty sure that was a Dalton test.

-So, I'm going to go for Colour Blindness.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-We're going to lock in Colour Blindness.

-Yeah.

To light up column number three, to protect another £3,000,

three in a row. Colour Blindness.

-Whoa!

-You're playing a great game. Well done.

APPLAUSE

All the kids at school now are shouting,

-"Come on, miss! Come on, miss!"

-Oh, I hope so.

Right, question number four to protect another £2,000.

We still have five pass backs and five overrules in play.

-Now, this is right in my era, the '80s.

-Oh, really?

I think it's Alison Moyet. I'm pretty sure it's Alison Moyet.

-Right, we're going to lock in Alison Moyet.

-Yeah.

This is a great start to the game if this is right.

Alison Moyet, to protect another £2,000 in column number four.

Yes!

APPLAUSE

-This is getting a bit nervous now.

-You're on a great roll here.

-Yeah.

You've used no pass backs, no overrules,

and we're coming up to the halfway mark. Question number five.

-What are you like on sports, Carol?

-Absolutely rubbish.

-OK.

Um, I haven't a clue. I'm going to have to pass it back.

Yeah, you're going to pass back.

OK, guys, she needs your help.

-Yeah, we were leaning towards darts, I think.

-Yeah.

-From the name.

I've never heard of him in rugby league,

but I don't watch much sport, to be honest.

We're not 100%, but we'll go for darts.

-OK, we're locking in darts.

-Oh, no.

-If it's right,

we'll light up column number five and protect another £2,000.

Rod Harrington - is he a former professional player of darts?

-Yes, he is!

-Wow!

-APPLAUSE

-Well done, guys.

-Look at this!

-That was a fluke.

-Well done.

-Oh-oh! This is turning into a real exciting great game.

Four pass backs, five overrules still in the game.

Question number six. £20,000 still on the Wall.

Hmm. That's another one I hadn't a clue,

but then when I saw the name James Corden, that rings a bell.

I don't know why, but that rings a bell.

And I think, somewhere I've read that he was in

some sort of theatrical production there, so that figures as well.

I'm going to go for James Corden and hope that they will overrule me

-if they think I'm wrong.

-OK.

-But I'll go for James Corden.

-We're going to lock in James Corden.

-Yeah.

-They're not overruling, Carol.

-Ooh, no pressure(!)

So, maybe they don't know or maybe they think you're right.

To light up column number six to protect another £2,000,

is it the right answer?

Yes, it is! APPLAUSE

Right, look at this. This is looking good.

Question number seven to protect another £2,000.

See, I don't think it's The Wombles.

I don't know who created them but I don't think it's Tove Jansson.

But I could be wrong. I really don't know.

For some reason, I'm thinking The Moomins.

I'm not sure, but I'll go for The Moomins.

OK, we're locking in The Moomins.

-If this is right, you've still got £20,000 on the Wall.

-Oh!

To light up column number seven to protect another £2,000, The Moomins.

Is it the correct answer?

-Yes, it is!

-Oh, my word!

-APPLAUSE

-Wow!

-Wow!

-So, look at this.

-Wow!

We are only three columns away from completing the Golden Wall.

Question number eight.

-What's your geography like?

-It's not too bad, but not France.

Um, I don't know where Saint-Nazaire is. It sounds southern.

Um, I'll go for Loire, and hope that they will overrule me if I'm wrong.

OK, we're locking in Loire.

To light up column number eight, Carol says Loire.

Oh, I don't want to hear it.

-Yes!

-Oh, my word!

APPLAUSE

-Wow!

-This is crazy.

-We are only two questions away. This IS crazy.

-Crazy.

-It's a great game.

Here comes question number nine.

Papworth...

That rings a bell as being a hospital

that deals with heart problems.

Addenbrooke's, Harefield, I don't know.

I'll say Papworth but, please, overrule me if you think I'm wrong.

OK, Carol might be relying on her team now. Has her luck run out?

We're locking it in.

There's no overrule from your teammates.

To light up column number nine, was Papworth the hospital that gave us

the first successful heart transplant, back in 1979?

I can't look.

Yes! Ha, ha, ha!

APPLAUSE

-Wow!

-Whoa.

Well, if we get this right, it's a clean sweep,

to bring £20,000 into Round Two,

with four pass backs and five overrules still in play.

-Carol, here comes your last and final question.

-OK.

It's not something I ever really watched.

I remember them being on University Challenge, but I don't know.

They were all a bit scuzzy, weren't they?

So, they probably would have gone up against the Toffs,

so I'll go for Toffs and hope that they will overrule me

-if they know better, and hopefully they do.

-OK.

We're locking in Toffs College.

They're trusting your instincts, I think, here, Carol.

Column number ten.

Please go golden.

DECIMATE.

-Oh!

-Oh, no!

Oh, no!

The answer we were looking for was, in fact...

It was Footlights. But you've had a fantastic round.

-Give a big round of applause. Well done, sweetheart.

-Thank you.

Go and join your teammates. Go on.

There we go. Now, let me tell you, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

We only lost one column.

-You guys have got something to live up to. She has raised the bar.

-Yeah.

OK, we have £18,000 still in the game.

We're going to take that and spread it evenly across ten new columns

and it's going to look like this.

Hardly any difference. You wouldn't even notice, would you, really?

Right, there's £18,000 on the Wall.

Each column is now worth £1,800.

So, now it's down to Chloe and Alkamal. Who's going to play next?

But before you decide, let's look at your key words. Here they are.

So, between Chloe and Alkamal,

who do think is best to come and step forward and face the Wall?

I don't mind going forward.

I think you probably know more than me, so go for it.

-OK, are you sure?

-Yeah.

-OK.

-Who's going for it?

-Take a risk.

You just hold on there, pal.

It's down to Chloe and Carol to give you as much information

regarding these key words as possible. You have 20 seconds.

Don't let him down. Time starts now.

-David Cornwell is John Le Carre, the spy novelist.

-OK.

Tortoises - what continent are they from?

-Mediterranean, Russia...

-Any Bananarama songs?

I know they're from North America as well.

What's the famous Bananarama song?

Gareth Bale plays for Wales.

-Robert De Niro's Waiting.

-OK.

-Most expensive footballer, I think.

-Yeah, he is.

Played for Wales.

-Right, I'm afraid your time is up.

-OK.

There was a lot of information coming your way, Alkamal.

-Did that help?

-Yeah, a bit, I think it did, yeah.

We'll find out, as I ask you to step forward and face the Golden Wall.

APPLAUSE

I don't need to remind you, Alkamal, what a great round Carol had.

She has left you there with £18,000,

four pass backs and five overrules.

Now, first column is worth £1,800.

Here comes your first question, my friend.

First thought, that looks quite tricky. I didn't think I knew.

Lonesome George just jumps at me.

-Yeah, I think I'll go for Lonesome George.

-Yeah?

Just because he died as a last male.

OK, we're locking in Lonesome George to protect column number one

and start your journey across the Wall.

Lonesome George. Is it the correct answer?

-Yeah, well done, Alkamal.

-Brilliant.

-APPLAUSE

-Good start to the game.

-Yeah.

-Here we go. Question number two.

OK, so I didn't know, but in that briefing,

Carol told me which one it was, so I'm going to go for John Le Carre.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-OK, so we're locking in John Le Carre.

If this is right, column number two will light up beautifully.

But is it right?

-Yes, well played!

-Thank you, Carol.

APPLAUSE Whoo! Thank you, Carol.

Right, let's see if we can get three in a row.

Question number three.

This is a tricky one for me. I'm not 100% sure on this.

It doesn't sound like a Scottish...

Watkin...

I might need my teammates' help here, but I'll go for Scafell Pike.

OK, we're going to lock in Scafell Pike.

BUZZ Oh, we've got an overrule

from your teammates. What are you thinking, guys?

I'm pretty sure it's Snowdon. I climbed it a couple of weeks ago.

Oh, hark at you, love! All right, sister.

-It's going to be embarrassing if I'm wrong.

-Yeah, it will be.

You were up the wrong mountain, weren't you?

-OK, we're changing the answer from Scafell Pike to Snowdon.

-Mm-hmm.

To keep on this journey, to keep £18,000 on that wall,

were they right to overrule?

-Yes.

-Well done. That's brilliant.

-APPLAUSE

Chloe, the panic on your face there, my love.

Question number four, to protect another £1,800. Here we go.

-Yeah, I'm very sure about this one.

-Are you really?

-It's Real Madrid.

-Real Madrid. We're locking it in.

Let's light up column number four. Alkamal says Real Madrid.

Get in there, mate!

APPLAUSE

We're coming up to the halfway mark. Let's keep this going.

Question number five.

I've heard of Troy and Carthage.

Um...

I'll go for...

Yeah, I'm leaning more towards Troy.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-OK, we're going to lock in Troy.

BUZZ Oh, no, we're not.

-Carol.

-Go on.

-Knossos.

Right, we're changing your answer from Troy to Knossos.

-They've used the overrule. We hope you're right, Carol.

-So do I!

OK, was Carol right to overrule Alkamal?

-Yes.

-Brilliant!

-Come on!

-There you go.

APPLAUSE Yes! Great stuff.

-Must have sunk in.

-Look at this!

Now, here comes question number six.

Unfortunately, Dad's Army was one of those TV series

I didn't get round to watching.

Did you not see the drama I did at Christmas

-about the making of Dad's Army?

-I heard of it.

It was very good, well-received, but I didn't get round to it.

LAUGHTER

Yeah, I'm relying on my team a lot in this round, so I'll go for Baker,

-but once again, hopefully, either Carol or Chloe can help me out.

-OK.

We're going to lock in Baker.

BUZZ No, we're not locking in Baker.

The girls have done it again. Carol, Chloe.

-I think it was the Clive Dunn character...

-OK.

-..who played a butcher.

-So, we're changing the answer to Butcher.

Oh, to light up column number six

to protect another £1,800,

were the ladies right to overrule you, my friend?

-Yes, they were.

-Brilliant.

-Whoa.

-APPLAUSE

-Whoa!

-Well done.

We are only four questions away from bringing £18,000 into Round Three.

-Four pass backs, only two overrules.

-Yeah.

Here comes question number seven.

I'm quite sure about this one.

There's even a film made about this,

with Ewan McGregor, I think, playing Nick Leeson.

-It was Barings, Barings Bank.

-Yeah? We're going to lock in Barings Bank.

-Yeah.

-OK.

To protect column number seven, another £1,800,

is he right with Barings?

Yes, he is! APPLAUSE

Whoo-ee!

Right, question number eight.

I've not heard of that name, to be honest. Gutzon Borglum.

Oh, because I'm not so sure,

I'll probably use up one of my pass backs, yeah.

-Yeah, you want to pass it back?

-Yeah.

OK, what do you reckon, ladies?

We thought straightaway it was Sydney Opera House,

-but we're not certain. But shall we lock that in?

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

-Sydney Opera House, yeah.

-You've used a pass back.

We're locking in Sydney Opera House. Was he right to pass back?

-DECIMATE.

-No!

-Oh...

-It was the first one.

-Yeah.

-Oh-oh!

Wow! Don't despair, though. We're still playing a great game.

The answer we're looking for was, in fact...

Don't be disheartened, OK.

We're now playing for £16,200.

This is your penultimate question.

We have three pass backs and two overrules in play.

Yeah, I half knew this answer but, in the briefing,

Carol said which actor it was,

so that really helps and now I'm a lot more sure.

-Yeah?

-It's Robert De Niro.

-You think?

-Yeah.

We're locking in Robert De Niro to light up column number nine.

Robert De Niro - is he waiting?

-Yes, he is!

-Get in!

-APPLAUSE

Right, mate, it's your last and final question.

Let's bring £16,200 into Round Three.

For some reason, I'm thinking Malta

because it's just a smaller sort of country but quite a tricky one.

OK, I'll go for Malta, but if...

Of course. If they think you're wrong, they may overrule you.

-Are we going to go for Malta?

-Can I switch that to Estonia?

-Yeah, we've not locked anything in yet.

-OK, I'll go for Estonia.

OK, we're going to lock in Estonia.

We've locked it in. What are you doing?

BUZZ Oh, girls!

You were hovering then. You're not sure, are you?

-That was a nervous press. So we thought it was Malta.

-Yeah.

-Really?

-I think Estonia's been in it for a while.

-OK.

-Shall we go Malta?

-Malta, yeah.

-OK, Malta.

OK, we're changing Alkamal's answer from Estonia to Malta

to bring £16,200 into Round Three,

only if they were right to overrule you, Alkamal.

Were they right?

-DECIMATE.

-Oh, no!

-It was Estonia.

-No!

-Oh, man.

-Malta joined over a decade ago.

The answer we were looking for was, in fact...

-Oh, well.

-You've all been let off the hook.

Give him a big round of applause. Well done, mate.

Go and join your team. Great stuff. Well done, team.

You've managed to keep £14,400 on the Wall.

But, as before, we're going to take that

and divvy it up into ten new columns.

It hasn't changed that much. It's going to look like this.

There it is. A lot of money.

Each column is now worth £1,440.

-Chloe, pressure's on, my love.

-I know.

-You're last up.

Remember, the more columns you can keep in play,

the more cash we're going to take through to the end game.

But, as usual, your teammates will have 20 seconds

to brief you on these next key words. Let's have a look at them.

Right, Alkamal, Carol, 20 seconds. Help Chloe out.

Lionel Richie's head is the Hello video.

Hello, is it me you're looking for?

Cape Verde's in South Africa?

-Lady Godiva rode naked through Coventry.

-Yeah.

How many Celsius is in Fahrenheit and vice versa?

-Is it...?

-212.

-212 to 100, I think.

-Yeah, 212 to 100.

Boris Johnson was the former Mayor of London.

-John Paul II, the Pope.

-He was from Poland.

Right, you lovely people, time is up.

-Have they helped you out there, Chloe?

-I think so.

We're going to find out, as I ask you to step forward

and face the Golden Wall. APPLAUSE

-Right, how are you feeling, Chloe?

-Very scared.

-Don't be scared.

Be confident. You've got a great two team members.

-You've got three pass backs and only one overrule.

-Mm-hmm.

-The first question is worth £1,440.

-Mm-hmm.

-And here it is.

Ooh, I think they've just mentioned that in the briefing.

So, yeah, I'm leaning towards Hello,

-based on what they said in the briefing.

-OK, in the briefing.

We're going to lock in Hello to protect £1,440.

-Yes!

-Of course it is! Yes! APPLAUSE

Right, question number two, column number two.

Ooh, this is a tricky one. Um, I'm pretty sure it's not 32.

-Yeah?

-32 degrees C is about 100 Fahrenheit, isn't it?

So, based on that, I'd go for 0. I'm just going to go 0.

-I'm going to risk it.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-OK, we're locking in 0.

-Oh, no.

-BUZZ Oh, no, we're not.

-Oh, no.

Carol, Alkamal.

-We're thinking it's -40.

-It's -40.

--40?

-Yeah.

So, we're changing it from 0 to -40 to light up column number two.

Is it right?

Yes, it is. Well played. APPLAUSE

Now, this is interesting.

-We have no more overrules, but we have three pass backs left.

-Mm-hmm.

To protect column number three and another £1,440, here it is.

In the briefing, we said South Africa,

but none of those fit with it being in South Africa, I don't think.

-I'm going to pass it back cos I don't know.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

OK, we're passing it back to Carol and Alkamal.

I've got a feeling it's Portuguese.

That's what I'd say. Portuguese.

OK, your teammates think it's Portuguese.

We're going to lock in Portuguese.

If this is right, we protect column number three. Portuguese.

-Yes!

-Well done.

-Phew.

-Great pass back.

-Right, you only have two pass backs left now, Chloe.

-Yeah.

Column number four.

Again, I think that was just mentioned in the briefing.

So, um, I think I'm going to go for Lady Godiva.

-Yeah, you think she rode naked, had her kit off?

-Yeah, I think so.

-Right, we're going to lock in Lady Godiva...

-Yeah.

..to light up column number four.

Is she right?

Yes, of course you are! APPLAUSE

Right, coming up to the halfway mark.

Still playing for £14,400, team. Question number five.

This has not been a good round for me.

-Have you seen any of these films?

-I've seen The Birds.

-OK.

-Um...

Oh, no.

-I'm going to pass back.

-Are you?

-Yeah, I'm going to do it.

OK, Carol, Alkamal, what do you think?

-Before it came up, I thought it was The Birds.

-Yeah?

-The Birds.

We're locking in The Birds. Column number five.

Yes!

APPLAUSE

-Now, you have one pass back left.

-Mmm.

OK, to protect £14,400, here comes question number six.

Carol said he was from Poland. Now, which one of those is in Poland?

SHANE LAUGHS

OK, I'm either thinking Krakow or Warsaw.

I'm going to go for Warsaw.

OK, we're going to lock in Warsaw.

Is the correct answer Warsaw?

-DECIMATE.

-Oh! Oh, no!

I knew that was going to be wrong.

The answer we're looking for is...

OK, listen. Up there

is now £12,960, OK. Still a lot of money.

Right, Chloe, here comes question number seven. Here it is.

I do not know the answer.

I think I'm probably leaning more towards Coronet.

White marking, white blaze...

I don't know if that goes so well.

-I'm just going to go for Coronet.

-Yeah?

-Yeah, why not?

OK, we're locking in Coronet to protect £12,960 on the Wall.

-Is Coronet the correct answer?

-No.

-DECIMATE.

-Oh!

-Carol, Alkamal, did you know this one?

-Carol did.

-It's Blaze.

-Is it Blaze?

-Oh, no!

-Yeah.

-That's the one I said it wasn't.

-Was Carol right?

-Yes, she was.

-Oh!

-Right.

-Sorry, team.

The Wall is now worth - still a lot of money - £11,520.

Here comes question number eight.

Um, unsurprisingly, I don't know the answer.

I'm debating whether to use my pass back. No, I'm going to guess again.

-Yeah?

-Yeah, why not? I'm going to go for Raglan.

OK, we're locking in Raglan. We've not used a pass back.

If this is right, we protect column number eight.

-DECIMATE.

-Oh!

-Did you guys know this one?

-Crinoline is a petticoat.

-Oh!

Crinoline is a petticoat. Is Carol right once again?

-Oh.

-Yes, she is. Not to worry.

There's £10,080 that we want to bring through to the end game.

-Mm-hmm.

-Question number nine.

-Ooh, I think I know the answer to this one.

-Yeah?

Yeah, cos I remember having some conversations

with some friends recently, so I think I'm going to go for New York.

-OK. We're going to lock in New York.

-Yeah, lock it in.

Was Boris Johnson born in New York?

I hope so.

Yes! APPLAUSE

-Finally!

-Right. Let's go out on a flourish.

-To bring £10,080 into our end game. You have one pass back left.

-Mm-hmm.

Here comes your last and final question, Chloe.

I don't think it's rowing.

I know basketball is really big in the US, but also, so is gymnastics.

"Team" suggests maybe more basketball than gymnastics.

-But because it's the last question and I have my pass back...

-Yes.

-..I'm going to pass back.

-I thought you might.

Alkamal, Carol, help out Chloe.

Um, we're thinking gymnastics,

possibly due to some kind of scandal, doping scandal.

-We don't know.

-We'd probably go for...

-Yeah, gymnastics.

Shall we lock in Gymnastics?

If this right, we're going into the end game with £10,080.

To light up column number ten, is it the right answer?

-DECIMATE.

-No!

-Oh, no, no, no!

Oh! The answer we're looking for is...

-Oh!

-Give Chloe a big round of applause. Well done, sweetheart.

APPLAUSE Go and join your team.

Go on, darling. Go and join your teammates. Well done.

Hasn't this been a journey and a half, eh?

Between you, you've managed to keep £8,640 on our Golden Wall.

Now it's the big moment...

..the chance to win that money and here's how it works.

We divide the cash once more into ten equal columns.

We have a little reshuffle and it looks like this.

There we go. £8,640 right there on the Wall.

To leave with that cash, you must work your way across the Wall

one last time, lighting up all ten columns.

But now, you only have two minutes to do it.

You'll get three chances to light up each column but, of course,

the more questions you need, the more time we're going to use up.

Get all three questions wrong, and that column and the cash is lost.

We rebuild the Wall and a teammate must take over

from where you left off.

If, as a team, you fail to light up ten columns,

I'm afraid you're going to leave with nothing.

So, before we decide who's going to play,

here are the all-important ten key words.

Big decision, guys. Who's going to face the Wall first?

-You've definitely been the best, Carol.

-I think so too.

-I'll give it a go.

-Yeah.

-Sure.

-I'll give it a go.

-We believe in you.

-Thank you!

-Carol, the responsibility has fallen to you.

Would you please join me and face the final Golden Wall.

APPLAUSE

Here we go, my love.

Light up all ten columns within the time

and you and your team will be leaving with £8,640.

Let's put two minutes on the clock.

That time will start

when I finish reading the first question.

-Stop the clock.

Oh! The answer I was looking for there was Stingray.

-Oh!

-Right, Carol. Great job.

We've still got 40 seconds on the clock,

but the clock has been stopped and the money has been decimated.

Will you please step down and return to your team?

Right, team, we now have to rebuild the Wall.

We are now down to £7,776.

Still a lot of money.

We need a new key word and the key word is Eden.

Chloe and Alkamal, one of you must now step up

and try to complete the journey across the Wall.

-Who's it going to be?

-I think you know more than I do.

-I'll try my best.

-Go on.

-OK.

Alkamal, please step forward and face the Golden Wall.

APPLAUSE

As I said, we're now playing for £7,776.

We have 40 seconds left.

when I finish asking this question.

-The answer I was looking for at the end was the film Hop.

-Oh.

I'm so sorry, my friend. And you've had such a great game.

I'm afraid you didn't make it across the Wall

which means, I'm afraid, team, you're going to leave with nothing.

But give them a big round of applause. Come here, buddy.

APPLAUSE Come here, guys.

I'm genuinely gutted for you.

You should be really proud of yourselves

-cos, as a team, you were brilliant.

-Yeah.

-We did a good job.

-You did and had a lot of fun. We had fun. We had a laugh. ALL:

-Yes.

You got to meet each other.

Join me next time to see whether another team of complete strangers

can take home a huge cash prize or whether, like this team here,

they'll be decimated. Goodbye, everybody, take care.

APPLAUSE

DECIMATE.
