Episode 18 Decimate

Three total strangers up against this spectacular Golden Wall.

It's worth a breathtaking £20,000,

but will they leave with the loot or be given the boot?

DECIMATE.

This is Decimate.

APPLAUSE

Oh, thank you very much, and welcome to Decimate.

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

I'm Lisa, an art director from London.

I'm Martin, a mobility assessor from Greater Manchester.

I'm Doreen, a retired clerical worker from West Sussex.

Welcome to the show, guys.

APPLAUSE

Doreen, how are you, my love?

I'm all right. I'm doing OK.

Now you're retired, sweetheart, how do you spend your time off?

I work two days a week in a charity shop locally.

-OK.

-I knit, crochet...

-Are you any good?

-Not bad. In fact, I've brought you something.

-You've brought me something?

-For Remembrance Sunday.

Thank you so much, sweetheart. I'm going to keep that in my pocket

-and I'll put it on my jacket on the way home. Is that all right?

-Yeah!

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

Basically, my car needs a bit of work doing on it.

-OK.

-And I'd get that done and I've got some very good friends

who have been a great support to me just lately,

and I'd like to take them out perhaps on a holiday or something.

You've got winner written all over your face, Doreen.

-I hope so!

-Yeah, well, listen, welcome to the show, sweetheart.

-Thank you.

-I hope you have a good time. Martin.

-Listen, Martin, can I just do this? Sorry.

-Yeah, go on.

Look at that! Look at that!

I wish I could grow a beard like that.

What do you like doing in your spare time apart from growing your beard?

I'm an FA one level coach...

-Oh, great.

-..of a football team for my little boy.

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

We all need an overdue holiday, so somewhere nice and hot.

Where do you fancy going?

The kids would say Florida.

-Right.

-I'd probably say Rome.

-Lovely.

-So, we'll see who wins.

Welcome to the show, mate. I hope you have a good time.

-Lisa!

-Hello.

I recognise your accent from New Zealand.

Originally from New Zealand,

but the last 16 years, I've been living in Australia.

So how do you like to chill out, then, Lisa?

I love to travel and that's part of why I've moved over here,

so I can start going to exotic European destinations

without sitting on a plane for 25 hours.

Well, I wish you all the best of luck and welcome to the show, team.

I'm feeling lucky.

You start as strangers,

but here's hoping you'll be leaving today

as lifelong friends with thousands of pounds to share between you.

I'd give Martin's little beard a rub for good luck.

Go on, ladies. There we go.

Here's how the show works.

The Golden Wall right there is worth £20,000.

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

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

That's one per column.

You get a question right,

that column is protected and it will light up beautifully,

like this.

And the money will stay in the game.

But get a question wrong...

DECIMATE.

The column is wiped out and that cash is 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 the end game.

-So, Lisa, Martin, Doreen, are you ready?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Yes.

Right, we need to choose who's going to play Round One,

but to help you decide,

I'm going to reveal some keywords

and these are going to appear in the first round of ten questions.

So, feast your mince pies upon these keywords.

And they are...

Now, having seen those keywords,

who's going to have the bottle to step forward

and face the Golden Wall?

I'm not happy with that.

Doreen's already going, "I'm not doing it! I'm not doing it!"

I'm happy to take one for the team.

Yeah, go on. Give it a go, yeah.

Right, Lisa. You're first to take on the Golden Wall,

but before you do, Doreen and Martin,

we're going to give you 20 seconds to give as many facts

about those keywords as you can.

Don't let Lisa down, OK?

20 seconds. Your time starts now.

What's Hello Love?

It could be a slang term or a slogan of some kind.

Oh, as in "Hello, love", OK.

Roman Wall? Hadrian?

-Hadrian's Wall.

-Wacky Races is a cartoon.

-Yes.

-Dick Dastardly.

Penelope Pitstop.

US Masters will be golf, obviously.

What about ancient British king?

-Give me some ancient...

-Alfred...

Right, team, time's up.

-Any of that useful?

-I'll let you know!

We are going to find out,

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

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

Because if there's an answer you're not sure about,

you can pass back the question to your team-mates

and if they think you've got a wrong answer,

they can buzz in to overrule you and change your answer.

But as a team,

you only have five overrules and five pass-backs

between all three of you over the whole show,

so we are going to use them wisely. Good luck. You ready to play, Lisa?

Yes. Let's do it.

£20,000, right there on the Wall.

First column is worth £2,000.

Here comes your very first question.

Is it...?

Nine maids a-milking is...

..sounding familiar.

I know there is Lords a-leaping...

Five gold rings.

I am going to say...

..maids a-milking.

So, we are going to lock in maids a-milking?

-Yes.

-So your team haven't overruled you.

We want to light up column number one to protect £2,000.

Were nine maids a-milking?

DECIMATE.

-Oh.

-I thought you were right, Lisa.

I honestly thought you were right.

It's the ladies dancing, isn't it?

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

..nine ladies dancing.

Right, we've lost column number one, so the Wall is now worth £18,000,

but don't despair.

Long way to go and there's still a lot of money to play for.

Here comes question number two, Lisa.

Is it...?

Well, my Shakespearean knowledge is not great.

My first instinct would be Titus Andronicus,

but for some reason, I'm being drawn towards Pericles.

So what would you like to do?

I'm going to lock in Pericles.

OK, we're locking in Pericles.

If this is right, we are going to protect £2,000 in column number two.

BUZZER

Oh, it's an overrule!

-Great.

-Wow!

-Great.

-Was that you, Doreen?

-It was.

-Good on you, Doreen.

-Good on you, Doreen.

What are you thinking, my love?

I'd go Titus Andronicus.

-Yeah?

-My first instinct.

You know that?

-Reasonably certain.

-Like a bit of Shakespeare, do you, Doreen?

He's a bit old for me.

He is, isn't he? Yeah.

Right, we are changing Lisa's answer from Pericles to Titus Andronicus.

Was Doreen right to overrule?

DECIMATE.

-Oh!

-Wow.

Right...

-Not a great start to the game.

-No!

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

-Cymbeline.

-Oh, Cymbeline. Never mind!

Up there is still a whopping £16,000.

Let's lock in 2,000 in column number three, OK?

-Let's do that.

-Let's have it, come on.

Was it...?

I've never even heard of any of these people at all.

Well, you've got pass-backs there if you need them.

I know, and I'm going to use one.

OK, we're using a pass-back, team.

Lisa is relying on you, Martin and Doreen.

Danny Willett.

-Didn't even think about that.

-No, straight in!

We're locking in Danny Willett, says Martin.

If this is right, we are going to get this game under way.

To light up column number three, was Lisa right to pass back?

Great teamwork if it is.

That's how we play this game.

Right, come on. We're up and running now.

-Right, we're off!

-Question number four, to protect another £2,000.

Is it...?

The Falklands, I know...

..definitely has been and I would say is.

Bermuda... I'm pretty sure is.

I'm going to say Fiji.

OK, yeah?

-Yeah.

-We're going to lock in Fiji.

-Yeah.

No overrule from your team-mates.

Let's get two in a row. Light up column number four,

protect another £2,000.

Fiji is not a British Overseas Territory, says Lisa.

And she's right to say that.

-Yes!

-Independent nation and Commonwealth country.

-Yes.

-Right, we're coming up to the halfway mark now.

We're on a roll. Let's get three in a row.

Here's question number five.

Is it...?

The only one there that is really standing out to me

is the Mean Machine. Erm...

The Creepy Coupe doesn't sound right.

I'm going to say the Mean Machine.

OK, we're going to lock in the Mean Machine.

Is that the name of Dick Dastardly's car in Wacky Races?

Yes, it is. Well done, Lisa.

Now we're on a roll.

Over the halfway mark. Here comes question number six.

Is it...?

Oh...

It's so hard because there is perfectly logical reasons

why it could be any one of those three,

so I am going to say the Biebs, Justin Bieber.

OK, we're locking in Justin Bieber.

There is no overrule from your team-mates.

Is Justin Bieber the first pop star

to reach 90 million Twitter followers?

For column number six...

DECIMATE.

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

Katy Perry.

Right, unfortunately, we've lost column number six.

-OK.

-The Wall is still worth a lot of money.

-£14,000.

-All right.

Question number seven, to protect another £2,000.

Was it...?

What do you want to do, Lisa?

I want to pass it back, because I want to share the pain

-with the rest of the team.

-Right.

Martin, Doreen, we are sharing Lisa's pain.

She is relying on an answer from you guys.

I'm 99% certain it's the Bank of England.

Wow! Shall we lock it in?

99! Yeah, I was going to say can't do better than that, but...

I just hope I'm not 99% wrong.

Right, we're going to like the Bank of England.

OK, come on, Doreen.

If this is right, this is a wonderful team play.

-Yes, it is.

-Yes!

-Well done, Doreen.

-Good one, Doreen.

-You're all over this now, my love.

-Nice, nice.

Here we go. Here comes question number eight.

Is it...?

It doesn't seem right for Hairspray

and it doesn't feel right for Rent.

I'm going... I'm thinking A Chorus Line.

-Yeah?

-It just feels right.

I'm going to say A Chorus Line.

OK, we are going to lock in A Chorus Line.

BUZZER

We have an overrule.

Doreen, do you like your musicals, love?

I do like my musicals.

Unfortunately, there's two up there I haven't seen.

-Which two?

-Hairspray and Rent.

Right.

I've seen bits of Hairspray, but I think it could be Rent.

Yeah?

Lisa's not so sure.

-I'm... Well...

-Have you seen Rent, Lisa?

Yeah, I have.

But I don't specifically remember the names of any songs,

but I liked when Doreen was 99% certain about things.

Are you 99% certain on this one?

-(No!)

-Oh, she's not.

Right, we're going to change A Chorus Line to Rent.

Hello Twelve. Hello Thirteen. Hello Love -

is that from the musical Rent?

To light up column number eight.

No.

DECIMATE.

-Right.

-Right.

Maybe you were right first time, Lisa.

Is it Chorus Line?

It is Chorus Line.

That's all right.

We dropped the ball then, but that doesn't matter.

There's 12,000 on the wall.

We have three pass-backs and three overrules.

Your penultimate question, Lisa, here it is.

Was it...?

-I'm 99.999% certain...

-Oh, more than Doreen.

..on this one.

And I'm pretty much certain that it was Amazon.

-OK. Shall we lock it in?

-Yeah.

-We're going to lock in Amazon.

Let's do it.

There is no overrule from your team-mates.

I think Doreen's even frightened to touch the button now.

Penultimate column, column number nine, to protect £2,000.

Amazon.

Yes, well played, Lisa.

Right. Your last and final question.

Was it...?

Oh! So no Hadrian's Wall, then,

which is the only wall I'm familiar with.

I'm going to say the...

Claudian Wall.

OK, we are going to lock in Claudian Wall.

BUZZER Dor...

Doreen, every time you press the button now,

you're putting your head in your hands.

-I'm losing faith!

-Don't you lose faith, sweetheart.

We've got a lot of faith in you. Right, what do you think, Doreen?

I know there was a second wall built

either north or south of Hadrian's Wall,

and the only name I can think of is the Antonine Wall.

OK, we're changing Claudian Wall to Antonine Wall.

If this is right,

we finish around one by lighting up column number ten.

Only if Doreen was right to overrule.

Yes.

She's redeemed herself.

-Well done, Lisa.

-Thank you.

-Go and join your team-mates.

-Thanks.

-Good stuff!

So, we finished on a high there. That's not a bad round, you know.

We've got £12,000 still in the game, a lot of money to play for.

We're going to take that and spread it evenly

across ten new columns and it's now going to look like this.

There we go. £12,000 right there.

Each column is now worth £1,200.

So who's going to play next?

Is it going to be Martin or Doreen?

But before we decide, here are those keywords. And they are...

So who do you think is the best player for this round, then?

-I feel like it's better for you.

-Yeah, I'll give it a go.

-Yeah.

-I'll give it a go.

-You're going to give it a go, Martin?

-Yeah, why not?

-OK, time for Lisa and Doreen,

we're going to give you 20 seconds to give you as much information

regarding those keywords as possible. Your time starts now.

Anything in particular you want...

The Girl On The Train. Who wrote the book?

The Girl On The Train...

-It's a book, isn't it?

-I'll know when I see it.

The movie's about to come out.

Everything Is Awesome was a song in a musical,

a song in a movie.

-Was it Wicked?

-No, it was in a movie.

Eurostar goes from King's Cross to...

Right, guys, time's up. Any help there, Martin?

We'll see. Again, possibly. Maybe not.

Well, we're going to find out,

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

APPLAUSE

Right, my friend, we have three pass-backs

and two overrules still in the game.

All right. Up there is £12,000.

To protect £1,200, here comes your first question.

Is it...?

You've got kids, yeah?

-Yes, two.

-You're familiar with all these films?

-Yes, yes, yes.

This was at cinema. The DVD's on burnout at the minute,

so, we know all the words to this one.

It's The Lego Movie.

Right, we're going to lock in The Lego Movie.

If this is right, then Everything Is Awesome!

You're going to start your journey across the Wall

if we can light up column number one.

The Lego Movie.

Yes, great film as well.

Right, column number two, to protect another £1,200.

Was it...?

Erm... I only know one of them people

and that's from watching Dragons' Den.

-And that's Evan Davis.

-OK.

So I'm going to go with Evan Davis.

Shall we lock in Evan Davis?

-Yeah.

-OK, we're going to lock in Evan Davis.

If that's right, we're going to light up column number two

and protect another £1,200.

The answer, lead presenter of Newsnight, Evan Davis?

Yes. Well done.

Right, this is a good start to the game.

Still 12,000 on the wall.

Question number three.

Was it...?

I've never been on it, never been on the Eurostar.

I'm not a frequent traveller to London either.

I'm going to go for a pass-back, because I just do not know.

All right, buddy. We're going for a pass-back.

Ladies.

-Thanks, Martin(!)

-Yeah. Thanks a lot.

OK, we're...

pretty much in agreement that we don't think it's Montpellier.

I would go for Marseille.

You'd go for Marseille over Nice?

I think so, yes.

-We'll say Marseille.

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

Martin's used a pass-back.

If this is right, we're going to get three in a row.

Was Martin right to pass back?

Good use, well done.

Great team play.

Here comes question number four, Martin.

Is it...

Erm... Again, art is not a strong one.

The Blue Boy for some reason

sounds like it might be a legitimate painting.

I'm going to... lock in The Blue Boy.

We're locking in The Blue Boy.

Couple of ladies nodding behind you.

Good - one's an artist.

Mmm.

Is Blue Boy the correct answer?

Yes, it is. Did you know that, ladies?

-Yes.

-Yes, lovely stuff. Right, coming up to the halfway mark.

What a great round this is!

Here we go, question number five.

Erm... Let's go for chisel. Let's give it a whirl.

OK, we're going to lock in chisel.

Oh, no, we're not. Oh, Doreen does it again.

Press the button, oh, there goes me head. Down like that.

What do you think, ladies?

I think it's like a pickaxe.

I think it's something they used as a sort of plough.

So we're going to change it from chisel to pickaxe.

If this is right, we protect column number five.

-I trust you.

-Was Doreen right to overrule?

Yes, they were.

Good stuff, ladies. Well done.

Great news, we've got five in a row.

OK, let's protect column number six with question number six.

Again, politics is not a strong point.

The name doesn't ring any bells.

Let's go with...

-Conservative.

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

There's no overrule from your team-mates.

If this is right, we start the second half of your journey

by lighting up column number six. Only if it's right.

DECIMATE.

The answer we were looking for is...

It was SNP. OK, not to worry.

Still a great round.

Up there is £10,800.

We've lost column number six.

Here comes question number seven.

I'm pretty sure there is one called the Cheesegrater.

Walkie-Talkie seems like a bit of a bizarre name.

But I think they like the bizarre names of buildings in London.

-We'll go with Cactus.

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

There's no overrules.

Cactus, is it the right answer?

Yes, it is. Good stuff, mate.

Well done.

Good stuff. Right.

Question number eight to protect another £1,200.

-Ailurophobe.

-Erm...

I don't know of any of those animals' names, the phobias of them.

So it's pretty hard again to whittle down one.

I'm pretty... I would probably rule out cats because I think it's got

a nicer name than that. So we'll go with...

-..flies.

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

If this is right,

we'll light up column number eight to protect £1,200.

Is that the correct answer?

DECIMATE.

Which one do you think it might be, ladies?

-Haven't got a clue.

-No? The answer we were looking for is...

-It is cats!

-Cats?!

-Ruled it out first.

-Wow.

Still got up there, £9,600. Your penultimate question.

Two pass-backs, one overrule left in the game.

Here it comes.

I bought this book about two weeks ago for my wife.

Oh, come on!

-Picture it in your hand.

-I'm pretty sure it's Paula Hawkins.

It just rings a bell when I'm looking at the cover now.

-Yeah?

-We'll go for that, Paula Hawkins.

-You sure?

-Yeah.

-OK, we're going to lock in Paula Hawkins.

Yeah.

No overrule from your team-mates.

Is Paula Hawkins the author of The Girl On The Train?

Well played, Martin. Good stuff.

She'll love me for that.

Right, your last and final question.

This is a good round.

We want to bring 9,600 into Doreen's round

if we get question number ten right. And here it is.

I'm going to go for Two because I think if it's not right,

they can overrule, if not, then...

So we're going to lock in Two.

And there is no overrule.

So, did Terminal Two close at Heathrow in 2015?

Column number ten.

DECIMATE.

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

One. But what a great round.

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

Go and join your team-mates. Good stuff.

Right, good round, though.

-Played well, didn't he?

-Yes.

-And I've got to say, in all honesty,

it was a great team effort as well.

We've managed to keep £8,400 on the Golden Wall.

As before, we're going to take that and divvy it up into ten new columns

and it's now going to look like this.

There we go. £8,400.

Each column now worth £840.

Doreen...you're up last, my love.

Remember, the more columns you can keep in play,

-the more cash we can take through to the endgame.

-Yeah.

So, as usual, your team-mates are going to have 20 seconds

to brief you on your keywords. So, let's have a look at them.

Here they are.

Right, 20 seconds.

-Briefing starts now.

-Tom Hanks was in Bridge Of Spies.

Someone's just won Celebrity MasterChef,

but I didn't see the final.

-Alexis, his name was.

-David Bowie.

It's a David Bowie song, Young Americans.

-Moog. Moog, is that synthesiser music from the '70s?

-Yeah.

'60s or '70s.

THEY CONFER

Right. Time is up, guys.

Doreen, any of that help?

Yeah. I hope so.

OK, let's hope so too.

Will you please step forward and face the Golden Wall?

Right, Doreen, we have two pass-backs

and one overrule left in this round.

OK? Your first question, column number one,

is worth £840, and here it is.

SHE SIGHS

HE MIMICS HER

I'm very lucky, because my two friends back there,

Lisa actually knew it.

-OK.

-And so I'm going to go straight in there and say synthesizer.

OK, we're going to lock in synthesizer

to get our journey started across the Wall.

Is synthesizer the right answer?

Yes, well played, team.

Good stuff.

Question number two to protect another £840.

One of my favourite Paralympians has always been David Weir.

I think he's absolutely brilliant.

And I'm not too sure of the other two,

so I'm going to go for David Weir.

OK, we're locking in David Weir.

With no overrule from your team-mates.

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

Yes.

Well done, sweetheart.

Right, we're going for three in a row.

You had a big smile and you were nodding away there, Doreen.

Well, it's a long time since I've been slim enough to wear one, so...

But pencil definitely is a skirt.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

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

To light up column number three,

pencil and hobble are types of skirt.

Yes. Well done, Doreen.

Look at this!

Flying now. Question four.

I'm going to go Kimberly Wyatt. For no other reason...

The name's ringing a bell for some reason, but I'm not sure why.

-OK. Shall we lock it in?

-Kimberly Wyatt.

We're going to lock in Kimberly Wyatt.

There's no overrule.

They trust your instincts, Doreen.

To protect £840, Kimberley Wyatt.

Yes. Doreen, come on, girl.

This is a great round. Look, we're coming up to the halfway mark now.

Column number five.

Was it...

Familiar with those singers?

I always liked David Bowie but I can't...

And I know all of the singers as well.

AS DAVID BOWIE: # We're playing Decimate with Doreen

# And now she's giggling. #

Don't start me off!

# Don't you start me off, Doreen. #

Back in the game!

Right, I think I will go for

the only female there and go for Aretha Franklin.

OK. We're going to lock in Aretha Franklin.

No overrule from your team-mates.

If this is right, we're going to get five in a row.

DECIMATE.

The answer we were looking for is...

Luther Vandross. So, we have lost column number five, but listen,

don't despair. This is still a great round.

We have two pass-backs and one overrule in play.

The Wall is now worth £7,560,

and here comes question number six.

Is it...

-Seen the film?

-No, I haven't.

And the only thing I was told was it had Tom Hanks in it.

So, yeah, I think I'm going to have to pass back.

I haven't honestly got a Scooby on this one.

No Scooby-Doo. Right, Lisa, Martin, we're using a pass-back.

Have you seen the film Bridge Of Spies?

-Yes.

-Yes, and I'm certain,

to a Doreenic level of 99.99999

that it's Mark Rylance.

We're going to lock in Mark Rylance.

Did He Play the Soviet intelligence officer in Bridge Of Spies?

Yes, well played, team.

Now we have one pass-back and

one overrule left, with four questions to go.

Here comes question number seven, Doreen.

Is it...

Don't think it's... No, I don't think it's Lancashire.

I'm going to go Northumberland.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-OK. We're going to lock in Northumberland.

Is the Cheviot Hills in the English county of Northumberland?

Yes, they are. Well done, Doreen.

-You'd have known that, wouldn't you, Martin?

-Yep.

-Good lad. Right.

Now, question number eight.

Was it...

I think I will go for Samuel Beckett.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-OK.

We're going to lock in Samuel Beckett.

There's no overrule. To light up column number eight,

is it the correct answer?

Yes! Doreen!

Good girl. Well done, sweetheart.

Right, your penultimate question.

Here comes question number nine.

Is it...

Fig trees. No... I've ruled out wasps.

Bees seems a bit obvious. So I will go for flies.

We're going to lock in flies.

And there's still no overrule from your team-mates.

So, do flies pollinate fig trees?

To light up column number nine.

DECIMATE.

The answer we were looking for was...

Wasps. Surprise, wasn't it, Doreen?

OK, listen, don't be disheartened.

The Wall is now worth £6,720.

Your last and final question. Here it is.

Was it...

Cholera and dysentery are both to do with stale water, I think.

So I think I'll go for cholera.

OK.

We're going to lock in cholera.

The overrule hasn't been used.

Is cholera the right answer?

Yes! Doreen, come and give me a hug, sweetheart.

Well played. Well played.

Go and join your team-mates.

Good stuff!

Didn't she play a great game?

-Yes.

-Look at that, we only lost

two columns out of the ten, so between you,

you've managed to keep £6,720 on the 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 do a little reshuffle and it's now going to look like this.

Right then. £6,720 right there on the Wall.

Now, to leave with that cash,

you must work your way across the Wall one last time,

lighting up all ten columns,

but now it will be very different, because we're up against the clock

and only have two minutes to do it.

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

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

Should you get all three questions wrong,

that column and the cash is lost.

We'll have to rebuild the Wall and

a team-mate will have to take over from where you left off.

Now, if as a team, you fail to light up all ten columns,

I'm afraid, Lisa, Martin, Doreen, you'll be going home with nothing.

So here are your ten keywords.

And they are...

So we have a big decision to make.

You met as strangers, but you've worked as a team

to have a chance to share that cash prize of £6,720,

but who's going to face the Wall first?

You go first and be quick with your answers.

-You really trust me with this? You're trusting me with this?

-Yes!

So, Martin, Doreen and Lisa have put the responsibility onto you.

So will you join me and face the final Golden Wall?

APPLAUSE

Here we go. Light up all ten columns within the time,

you and your team-mates will be leaving with £6,720.

Let's put two minutes on the clock.

That time will start when I finish

reading the first question.

Good luck, Martin.

So sorry, Martin. That was a third wrong answer.

The clock has stopped.

The money has been decimated.

Unfortunately, I've got to ask you to step down and return to your team.

Right, we now have to rebuild the Wall.

We are now down to £6,048.

The big question is, can one of your team-mates take that home by

protecting all ten columns?

We need a new keyword, which is happiness.

So, Lisa and Doreen, one of you has now got to step up

and try to complete the journey across

the Wall. Who is it going to be?

We were sitting back there and Doreen was whispering a few of those

first answers, so I have a lot of confidence that she has really,

really good general knowledge.

-OK.

-So...

-Down to you, Doreen.

Please step forward and face the Golden Wall.

APPLAUSE

We are now playing for £6,048.

We have 43 seconds left on the clock.

The clock will restart when

I finish asking this question.

Good luck, Doreen.

And I love Stilton as well.

The answer we were looking for, what type of animal is an Australian flat huntsman, is spider.

-Wouldn't have thought...

-The clock has stopped,

the money has been decimated.

I'm afraid you must please step down, Doreen.

Go and join your team-mates.

Right, for the third time in the endgame, once again,

we must rebuild the wall.

Go on, Lisa!

We need a new keyword which is...

-Lisa, my love.

APPLAUSE

Come stand here. That's it.

-I'm gutted for you.

Sadly, we didn't get across the Golden Wall,

-but have you enjoyed yourselves?

-Yes.

-Have you had fun, Doreen?

-Yes.

Yes? Well, sad to see you go, guys,

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

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

APPLAUSE
