across a series of general knowledge games in an attempt

to outwit each other and leave thousands of pounds richer.

Who will keep their cool and who will feel the heat?

It's time to take the pressure.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome to the quiz where to win you have to keep your cool

in the most demanding quizzing arena around, the Pressure Pad.

Two teams will compete across a series of head-to-head games

with the aim of getting as many of their team members into the final as possible.

The more players each team has in the final, the better their chances

of winning the prize fund, which currently stands at £4,000.

So, you know how things work. Let's meet today's teams.

You only have five seconds to think about your answer.

When the time is up, I will ask you for a connection.

Captains, once again it is time to decide who you are going to send down to the Pressure Pad.

THEY DISCUSS AMONGST THEMSELVES

..Someone who can answer fairly quickly, and I think that's you.

OK with that, yeah.

All right? Denis, who are you sending down?

In this game we're going to send down Emily.

Gary, who are we sending down?

Emily and Jason, come on down and join me on the Pressure Pad.

Hi, Emily. How are you? Nice to see you.

Hi, Jason. Nice to meet you.

Emily. Big music person.

Yes.

So besides playing in a band, you'd also like to get into wakeboarding.

You can come.

Anyway, guys, enjoy your time on the Pressure Pad.

Time to decide who is going to play first.

The colour is... Pink.

-What do you think - first, guys?

-First.

We'll go first, John.

Jason is going to go first, Emily, so the pressure is on.

Emily and Jason, please state your positions on the Pressure Pad.

Jason, you're up first. Here are the categories.

Which one would you like to choose?

-I think I'll go Solo Albums.

-You're going to go Solo Albums. OK.

The winner of this game will join their captain

obviously in the final. As always, each player starts with two lives -

when you are out of lives, you are out of the game.

You'll have five seconds to think about your answer.

When the time is up, I can only accept the first answer you give me.

Here are the options.

You need to...

-Jason, go.

-I know this one

because my sister used to listen to the album.

So it's Alanis Morissette,

and I'll go for Jagged Little Pill.

OK, Alanis Morissette, and you are connecting with Jagged Little Pill.

Is it correct?

It is correct, well done.

APPLAUSE

The Pressure Pad has updated with another answer. Emily, go.

So, I think it's Faith.

So you're saying George Michael

connecting to Faith.

Pressure Pad, is she correct?

You're correct, well done.

APPLAUSE

Jason, go.

I would probably go with, although I'm not too sure,

Dido, and I would go with...

No Angel.

All right, you're going with Dido and No Angel.

-Not sure?

-Not sure.

Pressure Pad, is he correct?

You're correct.

APPLAUSE

Emily, go.

Ah, I've no idea.

I'm going to guess Amy Winehouse,

and, er, ooh, Face Value.

You're hoping for Amy Winehouse and Face Value.

We will see if you're correct.

Is it correct or incorrect?

It's incorrect.

The correct connection was Amy Winehouse...

and Frank.

And the others you could have connected were Don McLean

with American Pie, Englebert Humperdinck with Release Me.

Oh, right.

So, unfortunately, Emily, you have lost one life,

which means you have one life left.

If you lose that, you are out of the game.

However, Jason, your two lives are intact.

You're one step closer to being in the final.

Emily, you will go first this time. Please choose a category.

They are...

I'm not good with any of these, so, erm, Inventions.

OK, we're going to go with Inventions.

Here are the options.

And the question is...

Emily, go.

I think the lightbulb.

You are saying Alexander Graham Bell

and connecting to the lightbulb.

-I think so.

-All right, you think so?

If you get an answer wrong, remember, you are out of the game.

Pressure Pad, is she correct?

No, you're not.

The correct answer is Alexander Graham Bell

and it is to the telephone.

The other connections could have been John Logie Baird to the

television, Joseph Swan was the lightbulb, all right?

Unfortunately, Emily, you have lost two lives, which means

you are out of the game and not in the final.

However, Jason, you stood the pressure of the Pressure Pad.

You are in the final.

APPLAUSE

-Still a full complement.

-Well, what can I say?

-Yes, Jason did not bad.

Not bad at all.

All right, well, you've got him there, hopefully,

with everybody, unless you lose someone in the next round.

-We'll see what happens. Denis.

-Difficult.

She didn't really get the categories.

-I think it's pot luck, isn't it?

-It's the luck of the draw.

And we're saving the best.

You're saving the best for last?

-Yes, we've got more to come, so...

-OK, I look forward to it.

Because the next head-to-head is called Radar.

At the start of this game, you pick a category.

I will pose a question with lots of correct answers.

When the beam passes through your section,

you need to give me an answer.

If it is correct, you remain in the game,

and the pressure passes to your opponent.

Make a mistake and you lose a life.

So, to win this head-to-head, you need precision thinking,

a great memory and a depth of knowledge.

Captains, it is now time to decide who you are going to

send down to play on the Pressure Pad.

-This is the hardest one, isn't it?

-This isn't for me.

All right, Denis, who are you sending down?

On this one, we're going to send down Matthew.

-And Gary, who's coming down?

-We're going to send Peter.

Peter and Matthew, please come and join me on the Pressure Pad.

APPLAUSE

-Hi, Matthew.

-Hi, John.

-How are you?

-I'm good, you?

-Nice to see you.

-Likewise.

-Hi, Peter.

-Hi, John.

-Nice to see you. Yes, good.

-Matthew.

-Well, we'll see about that.

-You have kids, don't you?

-I do, yes.

Emilia, who's three, and Cara, who's about 17 months.

-And that takes up a lot of your time?

-It does, yes.

So your guilty pleasure is doing what?

Er, well, pretty much anything that we used to do before kids,

so just having a lie-in is a good start.

-Hopefully, cos sometimes that leads to kids!

-Well, this is true.

-So it's just a lie-in?

-Yeah, simple pleasures.

All right. Peter, you're a singer?

-Apparently so.

-Apparently so?

-You're a bit of a singer as well, I think.

Apparently so.

LAUGHTER

# If you could use some exotic booze

# There's a bar in far Bombay

# Come on, fly with me Let's fly, let's fly away. #

APPLAUSE

Well done, well done.

All right, time to decide who is going to play first.

Which one do you want to choose?

-TV.

-So you're going to go for TV as your chosen subject.

Please step into your arcs.

The winner of this game will join their captain in the final.

The loser will be eliminated.

You both start with two lives.

When you are out of lives,

you are out of the game.

I will only accept the first answer you give me

when the beam is in your section.

The category is TV.

You need to give me

any official presenter of Blue Peter

since it was first shown in 1958.

The beam will start when you give me your first answer. Peter, shocked?

-Understatement.

-Go.

Incorrect.

John Craven was not a presenter of Blue Peter.

Didn't think he was.

The presenters you could have chosen were

Anthea Turner, Gethin Jones, Helen Skelton, John Noakes,

Peter Purves, Stuart Miles, and many, many more.

-I don't need to name all of them for you.

-Thanks for that.

All right. So, Peter, you have lost a life. One more mistake

and you will be out of the game. The first one for the Pink Team.

So the pressure is on.

Matthew, your two lives are still intact.

You are one step closer to being in the final.

Matthew, you are going to go first this time. Here are your categories.

Would you like me to go on?

No, you're good, thanks.

And Zachary, of course.

-All right.

-So, Peter, you have lost two lives,

which means that you are out of the game.

You are in the final.

APPLAUSE

Denis.

-I'm feeling a lot better now.

-You are, cos you got...

Didn't have to do much, but he did well.

But you've still got three people to help you out in the final.

-Happy with that.

-Happy with that, good.

The last head-to-head is called Selector.

APPLAUSE

At the start of this game, you will choose a category.

On the Pressure Pad, you will see six options.

Your job is to select the ones you know.

To win this head-to-head, you need to keep your eyes open

I'm surprised you got the Eurovision.

Everyone knows Abba, don't they?

You've done a bit of Dancing Queen?

That would be a no.

All right, Denis and Gary,

please come and join me on the Pressure Pad.

APPLAUSE

-Hello, Denis.

-Hello, John.

-How are you?

-Good to meet you.

Gary, how are you? Nice to meet you.

Denis, tell me about this nonsense song.

I had a brief spell in an Irish folk music band

that some friends and I were in.

They allowed me to sing occasionally

and my trick was to sing the Irish nonsense song.

The Bog Down In The Valley-o.

We're not going to do this, are we?

Yeah, cos you can do the last verse, apparently, in one breath.

-Yes.

-Or you could.

-Yes.

-Can you give it a whirl?

# Oh row the rattling bog

# The bog down in the valley-o

# Well, in that dirt there was an eye, a rare eye, a rattling eye

# I am the dirt of the dirt of the worm

# Of the worm in a nail, in the nail of a toe, in the toe on a foot

# And the foot of a leg, in the leg of a tick

# And a tick in a feather and a feather in a wing

# And a wing in a bird and the bird in an egg

# And the egg in a nest and nest in a leaf and a leaf in a twig

# And the twig of a branch and the branch of a tree

# And the tree in the hole and the hole in the bog and the bog

# Down in the valley-o... #

-Hurrah!

-And so it goes on.

APPLAUSE

It sounded good.

-Gary.

-John.

-How are you?

Very good, thank you.

-Gary, you have a guilty pleasure about food.

-Hmm.

Cleaning up, but you don't use a dishcloth.

No, I lick the bowl.

LAUGHTER

Yeah, and how does that go down?

Depends if I'm feeling cheeky or not.

Sometimes I lick the bowl when no-one's looking.

Or if I'm winding my wife up, I go...

Wind her up, it's much better.

It's a better look, going...

We had these little creme brulees that we bought from the supermarket

and you tear the foil off, sprinkle sugar on and bake it.

I was finishing it and saying, "This is lovely!" and I went...

..and had a bit of foil left on and cut my tongue.

Ohh! Ohh!

That really hurts! All right, so good luck to both of you

as we play the Final.

APPLAUSE

Denis and Gary, here's how the Final works.

Each team answers four multiple-choice questions.

The first team to answer all four questions correctly

will win £2,000

and get a chance also to play for the bonus of £2,000.

Gary, as your team won the most Head-To-Heads,

you get the advantage of going first.

There's no time limit.

All you need to do is get all four questions correct

and you win the money.

Make a mistake, and you let your opponent into the game.

Gary, here is your first question.

As soon as you stand on the answer, it will be locked in.

You can confer with your team-mates. Here we go.

Was it...

-South Downs?

-The newest as a National Park, isn't it?

How old's the Lake District?

The Lake District's a lot older than that.

-Yeah, I'd say South Downs.

-South Downs.

-South Downs.

-Pressure Pad,

they are saying South Downs.

It's correct.

Next question...

Is it...

-I'm not too sure, so I'm not...

-No, I'm not too sure.

-What do you say?

-Shakespeare's not my strong point.

-I think it's Richard III.

-I don't know, so...

-OK, well...

That's the first one that sprang to mind.

The Tempest is a comedy, isn't it?

What about Othello, though?

-What about the bloke with the skull in his hand?

-That's Hamlet.

Ah, yeah. Richard III.

I like the sound of Richard III.

Richard III.

You are saying Richard III.

-Yes.

-If it's correct, you move on to the next question.

If it's incorrect, play passes over to Denis.

Pressure Pad, is it correct?

It is correct.

LAUGHTER DROWNS SPEECH

All right, your next question.

Is it...

-Do you know, Gary?

-No.

The way the economy is, I'd say it's copper.

-I would say.

-Yeah, we'll go for copper.

We're going to say copper, John.

All right, you're saying copper.

If this is correct, you move on to your £2,000 question.

If it is incorrect, play passes over to Denis.

Pressure Pad, copper, is that correct?

It's incorrect.

Play passes over to Denis. Denis, this is your chance.

Your first question...

Is it...

What do you reckon, Denis, any thoughts?

I don't know this at all.

-My instinct tells me pelvis.

-Sounds like a lower body bone.

I don't know why. I think..

It's a guess, but, er...

I'll go for...pelvis.

It's a guess.

You're going for pelvis.

Pressure Pad, is it correct or incorrect?

Correct.

APPLAUSE

Next question...

Was it...

I think '84 and '88 are too late.

-Yeah, I'm thinking that.

-I almost remember.

-Go for it.

-OK, my guess is Montreal.

1976.

So you're saying Montreal 1976 is the year that Princess Anne

competed for Great Britain in the Olympic Games.

-Yes.

-All right.

If it's right, you move on, if it's wrong, play passes back

to Gary. Pressure Pad, is it correct or incorrect?

It is correct.

APPLAUSE

Starting to sweat out there. Next question.

Is it...

I'm almost certain, cos I've read it, that it's Dracula.

-I think Dracula.

-Yeah, go Dracula. That's what I was thinking.

I'm going to guess Dracula.

You're going to guess, or you know?

I'm pretty certain I know.

-Pretty certainly you know.

-Yes.

Is Gary going to be back in the game or is this the right answer?

Pressure Pad, please tell us, is Dracula the correct answer?

It is correct.

APPLAUSE

So far, you're equal...

at the moment. Your question is...

Is it...?

What are you thinking? It's definitely not Madrid,

cos that's right in the middle.

It's definitely not Madrid.

It's definitely not Berlin.

Warsaw is inland, Prague's in the middle of Europe

and I've been to Helsinki and I've seen water so...

Yeah, I think it's Helsinki.

Yeah, that'll be my... Helsinki, yeah?

I'll say you gave me the answer if it's wrong, so...

I'm going to go for Helsinki.

All right. If it is correct, you've won £2,000.

If it is incorrect, play will pass back over to Gary

and here's his chance at this £2,000 question.

Pressure Pad, is the correct answer Helsinki?

It is correct!

APPLAUSE

You've just won £2,000.

Congratulations, Denis!

Right, it's not over quite yet.

We've still got one final quiz to come,

but first, Gary, your answer was silver.

That was the answer.

Big round of applause, everybody,

and thank you to Gary and his team, thank you.

APPLAUSE

So, Denis, you and your team have just won £2,000,

which is absolutely fantastic.

You could add more money to that and here is how.

The bonus fund rolls over £1,000 every time it isn't won.

And the good news for you today is nobody won the last show,

meaning it sits at £2,000.

So far, Denis, you've successfully guided your team to this point,

but here is where the pressure get even tougher.

Six possible answers are hidden

under the centre of the Pressure Pad.

I'm going to show you those answers and, based on what you see,

you and you alone as team captain must decide

if you want to answer the question.

If you go for it and you answer it correctly,

you would leave with the £2,000 and the £2,000 bonus for your team.

But a word of caution - if you get it wrong,

you don't win anything, you lose it all.

Here are the six possible answers.

They are...

Any ideas?

That's a tough one.

Do you know all of them?

I know who they all are and what they've done

and what they're famous for.

It's right up my street, that sort of topic.

But what is the question?

You know what I mean? I know they're all famous scientists,

I know what they've done.

It's the difference between taking home £2,000 and £4,000.

-I know, it's quite a lot of money, isn't it?

-It is.

We never thought we were going to get here,

so I didn't think I'd have to make this decision.

And I bet I'd probably get it right, but...

So your final decision...

-I'm not going to take a risk.

-You're not going to take a risk.

-I'm taking that as your decisions.

-Definitely.

All right, well, congratulations, Denis,

you go home with £2,000 for your team!

APPLAUSE

I really don't want to know the question, actually.

LAUGHTER

-What do you think it might have been?

-I mean, it could be

something as simple as -

"Which of these famous scientists split the atom?"

Which I think would be Rutherford,

or "Which of these famous scientists invented the jet engine?"

But was the claim to fame of this...?

I have the question right here in front of me and I'm going to put you

-out of your misery and you are going to kick yourself.

-Yeah.

Who would you have said?

That's what worried me a bit, because they're very similar,

Rutherford and Roentgen.

In my head, I can't really split them timewise.

I think it was Roentgen with the X-rays

and Rutherford with the sort of atomic particles.

-So you would have said...?

-I think I'd have said Roentgen.

All right, Pressure Pad,

the answer he was going to choose,

is it correct or incorrect?

It's the correct answer.

You would have been right, but hey-ho, congratulations, Denis,

you and your team leave with £2,000!

APPLAUSE

That is all we have time for.

Join us next time to see if anyone will play for the bonus.

Thanks for watching and don't forget -

if you can't take the pressure,

stay off the Pressure Pad. Goodbye, everybody!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
