Episode 11 Pressure Pad

This is Pressure Pad. On this floor, two teams will go head-to-head

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.

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-mates

into the final as possible.

Whichever team wins the final will have the chance

to play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £12,000.

So, now you know how things work, it's time to meet the teams.

Hello, John. My name is Al. I'm from Chester. These are my mates.

We basically met in the boozer.

LAUGHTER

First of all - Ross.

-Hello, John.

-Hi, Ross.

-Mark.

-How are you doing, John?

Hello, Mark.

-Dave, John.

-All right, John.

Hello, Dave.

Cheeky chap at the end, Alan, John Barrowman.

Big John.

Hello, Alan.

-So, Al, you all met in the pub.

-Yes.

Basically, you just pick up people along the way

and become friends with them.

That's how you build the group of friends around you.

-Men followers.

-Men followers.

-Yeah.

I'm OK with that.

Have you ever quizzed before?

-No.

-Just in the pub.

Yeah, so you've done pub quizzes.

Who is the strongest player, the backbone of the group?

Dave is the glue that holds us all together.

-Apparently so.

-Oh, no, it's true.

I know a lot of absolutely useless rubbish that will get us nowhere.

The fact that all the pressure's on my shoulders, it doesn't bode well.

Massive bottle job.

So who is the one that you're worried about?

I'm sorry, mate.

Ross!

-Come on!

-Yeah, Ross.

-I'll prove him wrong.

-Good for you, Ross.

That's what I like to see. Good for you.

Good luck, guys.

-Thanks, John.

-You're welcome.

Pink team, introduce yourself and your team.

-Hi, John. I'm Barry. We're just a family team.

-OK.

We're from Essex, by the way.

THEY CHEER

JOHN CHEERS

-This is my lovely girlfriend Victoria.

-Hi, John.

-Hi, Victoria.

My mother Elaine.

-Hi, John.

-Hi, Elaine.

-James is Victoria's brother.

-Wotcha, John.

-Hello.

-And last is my cousin Andrew.

-Hi, John.

-Hello, Andrew.

Have you quizzed together

or was it something you practised on the way to the studio?

Practised on the way to the studio.

-Yeah, pretty much a few hours in the hotel.

-Got it.

Who is the best at getting the answers correct?

I would say my mother. My mother's a very calm individual.

She knows a lot of stuff.

-Elaine, pressure's on you now.

-I know, I'm sorry.

Pressure's on.

Barry, I understand that you and Victoria

have been setting each other challenges.

Basically, both me and Victoria are very, very competitive people.

-Was this one of the challenges?

-It was indeed.

-I won.

-Unfortunately I lost a point on that one.

-Oh, you did.

-You were challenged to get on to a TV show.

-Yeah.

-Is that right?

Yeah, that was Victoria's challenge.

Victoria's challenge was to get on to a TV show, and you did it.

-We did it, we're here.

-Yay!

I was trying my best not to get on, but it didn't come through.

-Well, here you are.

-We are here.

We'll see how you do in a moment.

-Good luck.

-Thank you.

Our first head-to-head is called Time Out.

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

The Pressure Pad will divide equally into two halves.

Each half represents a timer.

To stay in the game, you need to stop your timer running out.

If you answer the question correctly,

your timer will stop and the pressure passes to your opponent.

So, Al, who will be playing for the blue team?

-I mentioned earlier that Ross was the weak link.

-Yep.

Probably be best if we can get him out of the way early.

OK. Can't wait.

Barry, who is going to be up against, apparently, Useless Ross.

Well, we're going to have Useless Andrew.

It's the same sort of effect.

All right. I hope you both prove them wrong.

Useless Ross and Useless Andrew, please come and join me

on the Pressure Pad.

APPLAUSE

-Hi, Ross.

-Hi, John.

-How are you?

-Good, thank you.

Hello, Andrew, nice to meet you. Pleasure.

-So, Ross, I don't think you're useless.

-Thank you.

-Why do you think they would say that about you?

-I'm not sure.

I know I come out with some daft things now and again,

-but the lack of confidence is baffling, really.

-Really?

Do you think you'll do quite well?

-No.

-LAUGHTER

Not at all, no.

-Good luck.

-Thank you very much.

-I hope you do well.

-I hope you do well, Andrew.

-Thank you.

-Are you worried about being down here.

-Yes, quite a lot.

Is it the Pressure Pad or is it

because I know that you're a bit of a fan?

Well, I'm a fan of Doctor Who.

Obviously meeting the great man himself...

-The Doctor's bigger than I am.

-Well...debatable.

AUDIENCE: Aw!

-APPLAUSE

-I got a hug.

-Good luck.

-Thank you.

-You're welcome.

I'm leaving it on that lovely moment.

OK, it's time to decide who is going to play first.

To do that, I will toss a coin. Are you ready?

Blue. OK, so you get to decide if you want to go first or second.

Go first, put the pressure on them.

Ross is going to go first.

Ross and Andrew, please take you positions on the Pressure Pad.

APPLAUSE

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

You both start with two lives.

When you're out of lives, you are out of the game.

Ross, you are up first. Here are your four categories. They are...

-I'll take TV and Film, please.

-TV and Film.

Each time I give you a list of clues, you can give me an answer.

I will only accept one answer for each list.

If you haven't worked it out by the time

I have given you the sixth clue, I will move on.

You can pass at any point.

Your timer will start running down when I read the first clue.

Good luck.

I'm going to read you lists of actors

and actresses who have all played the same character on TV or in film.

In each case, I need you to tell me

the name of the character that they have played.

-Are you ready?

-Ready.

Pierce Brosnan.

Daniel Craig.

-James Bond.

Geraldine McEwan.

Julia McKenzie.

Margaret Rutherford.

Miss Marple.

Richard Greene.

Jonas Armstrong.

Michael Praed.

All right, that was Robin Hood, the last one.

Unfortunately, that means you have lost a life.

You lose another life and you are out of the game.

However, Ross, you still have your two lives intact,

so you're one step closer to being in the final.

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

They are...

-Pop Music, please.

-Pop Music, good.

I'm going to read you lists of song titles.

For each list, I need you to tell me the name of the singer or group

who had a UK top 40 hit with all these singles in the 1960s.

Here we go.

Ferry Cross The Mersey.

-Pass.

-Gerry and The Pacemakers.

So, unfortunately, Andrew, you're out of time,

which means you've lost your second life. You are out of the game.

However, Ross, you stood the pressure of the Pressure Pad,

and you're in the final.

Al, he's not useless.

That is fantastic man management on my part,

so I will take all of the credit.

So you're kind of putting him down to make him do better?

Exactly. I know what makes him tick.

-Right. What about the rest of them?

-I'm worried.

-OK.

We'll see you in a few.

Barry, he succumbed to the pressure.

I think it's just being in your presence, John, to be fair.

You really think that had an effect?

Yeah, yeah.

I have to say it happens all the time.

Especially in the supermarket.

All right, good luck.

The next head-to-head is called Step On.

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

On the Pressure Pad, a series of possible answers to a question

will appear one by one.

Some of these answers will be correct and some will be incorrect.

When you see three correct answers appear on the Pressure Pad

at the same time, you should step on.

Step on too early and you lose a life.

Step on at the right time and your opponent will lose a life.

In this head-to-head, both players will compete at the same time.

You'll not only be watching the answers,

you'll be watching your opponent.

Al, who will be playing for your Blue Team?

I would like Mark to play.

He's extremely nimble, very delicate on his feet.

OK, I expect to see some fancy footwork. Barry?

We're going to use Victoria because she's very good at lunging,

so she's a good exhibitionist.

LAUGHTER

That's my sister you're talking about here.

I can't wait for this round.

Mark and Victoria, come and join me on the Pressure Pad.

APPLAUSE

-Mark, how are you?

-Hi, John.

-Good to see you.

Hi, Victoria. Lovely to see you.

-Mark, are you nimble on your feet?

-I'd say so, yeah.

-Show me.

-Eh...

LAUGHTER

That was so quick I didn't even see it.

-I should call you the Flash.

-You should.

Hey, Flash, good luck.

-Thank you.

-You're welcome. Hi, Victoria.

-Hello.

-How are you?

-I'm very good.

I can't believe that Barry has just said that about me.

-What, that you lunge?

-That I lunge.

-I'm not going to ask you to lunge.

-Thank you.

-Don't worry. Let's just move on from that.

How do you feel being down here on the Pressure Pad?

Yeah, quite nervous, but quite excited.

-Good.

-Yes.

-Good. And you look beautiful, by the way.

-Thank you.

That's all that's important, even if nothing right

comes out of your mouth, just know you look good.

-Good.

-Good luck.

-Thanks.

As both of you play Step On at the same time,

we'll toss a coin to decide who will choose the first category.

Blue. Mark, you will be choosing the category.

Mark and Victoria, please take your positions on the Pressure Pad.

APPLAUSE

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

You both start with two lives.

Remember, you must step on to the Pressure Pad

when you see three correct answers at the same time.

Mark, here are your four categories, they are...

-Sport, please.

-You're going to choose Sport.

The game will start when the first answer appears.

You need to step on when you see the names of three sports

that are played using one or more balls.

Here we go.

OK, we have a step on, and it was Blue. Mark, you got there first.

Which one are you most confident about?

-Well, I know they've all got balls in.

-You know they all are.

OK, let's start with croquet.

Is it a ball sport?

Yes, it is.

Snooker?

Yes, it is.

Pressure Pad, rounders?

It is, that is correct.

-APPLAUSE

-So you stepped on at the right time,

which means you retain your two lives.

However, Victoria, it means you have lost a life.

You lose another life and you are out of the game.

You did miss an opportunity to step on earlier,

it was when we mentioned hurling, lacrosse and pelota.

But it worked out for you all right in the end.

Victoria, you get to choose the category this time. They are...

I think I might go for Geography.

Geography.

You need to step on when you see the names of...

Here we go.

We have as step on, and you're grimacing.

-Yes.

-Which one are you most confident about, Victoria?

I want to say India. To be honest, I'm not confident about any of them.

Why did you step on?!

Well, I think India and I'm pretty sure Tanzania. Maybe Ethiopia.

We'll find out.

If you stepped on at the wrong time, you have lost your second life,

you'll be out of the game, all right?

Let's see if you're correct.

Is India entirely south of the equator?

Pressure Pad, is she right?

It's false. No, you're wrong.

Unfortunately, it's not.

Tanzania is entirely south of the equator and Ethiopia was also wrong.

It is not entirely south of the equator.

I was quite confident about that one.

No, unfortunately not.

Unfortunately, you've lost two lives, Victoria.

That means you're out of the game.

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

-You are in the final.

-Thanks, John.

APPLAUSE

Al...whatever you're doing's working.

-I'm as surprised as you are, John.

-Are you?

-Yeah.

I had confidence in him. I had confidence in Ross as well.

Oh, yeah, you're taking it back now.

Two more to go. Till then, you're on the Pressure Pad.

And I am going to make a real pig's ear of it.

-I already know.

-I can't wait.

-Barry.

-Yes, John.

Was it a challenge that you've just won that you challenged

-her that she was going to not win?

-I should have, shouldn't I?

I should have said that, but, no, unfortunately not.

-Victoria is having a cup of tea in the green room.

-Yes.

-Yeah.

Lucky her. LAUGHTER

-Your turn's yet to come.

-Yes.

All right, the next head-to-head is called Borderline.

APPLAUSE

On the Pressure Pad, you'll see a map of the British Isles.

Initially, it'll be divided into three sections by two lines.

I'll ask a question and you have ten seconds

to stand in the section of the map

you think contains the correct answer.

Each time a correct answer is given,

a new cut will be added to the map, making it more difficult.

Al, who are you going to send down this time?

John, I'm going to send Dave down to play this one.

Dave spends a lot of time on the road, so I'm hoping he's been

to all of these places you're about to ask him about.

-So you have confidence in Dave?

-Utmost confidence.

Just like the other two.

OK.

-All right, Barry?

-I'm hoping that that reversal thing works now.

I'm using James for this game

because James likes to look at the map and learn it.

-You're a map reader?

-I like maps.

I like the fact that Barry's using you.

He always uses me.

All right, Dave and James,

please come and join me on the Pressure Pad.

APPLAUSE

-Hi, Dave.

-John.

-All right, nice to see you.

-Hi, James. How are you?

-Very good.

Dave, do you think Al actually has some kind of technique here

or is he just going down the line?

I think he's just completely winging it, to be honest.

What do you do that takes you all across the country?

-I'm an engineer.

-You are?

Yeah, project manager for an engineering company.

Do you enjoy your work?

-Yeah, it's great, yeah.

-Excellent.

-Really good fun.

-Good luck.

Thank you very much.

-James.

-Hello.

-James, you like studying maps.

Yeah, they're always interesting, aren't they?

Do you have a photographic memory?

I've got a good memory when it comes to directions.

I like to think I do anyway.

£12,000 is up for grabs. What would you do with your share of the money?

Don't say buy a map.

-Probably a holiday.

-I hope you get a chance to.

-Thank you very much.

-Good luck. You're welcome.

Time to decide who is going to play first.

It is pink.

So, James, you get to decide if you're going to go first or second.

-I'll go first.

-You're going to go first.

So, Dave and James, please take your positions on the Pressure Pad.

APPLAUSE

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

You both start with two lives.

When you're out of lives, you are out of the game.

You can change your mind as many times within the ten seconds,

but when the time is up,

I'll take the area you are standing in as your answer.

Your time will start when I finish reading the question.

Pressure Pad, cut the map.

James...

Go.

The were all Irish, I think. I think I'm going to stand over here.

Pressure Pad, is he in the right section?

He is, you are correct. That's right.

It was County Cork in Southern Ireland.

Pressure Pad, cut the map.

Dave...

Go.

I know it's Canterbury.

I'm not particularly sure where it is, though,

I'm thinking that we're in this section.

Three seconds.

Your time's up. You have to stay where you are.

You weren't sure if it was the other side or the side you're on.

Pressure Pad, is he correct?

You're incorrect.

Where did you think it was then, you second guess?

-I think it's on that side.

-You're right. You're right.

It is. It's Canterbury.

So, unfortunately, Dave, you've lost a life.

James, your two lives are still intact.

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

Dave, you will go first this time. Pressure Pad will reset.

Pressure Pad, cut the map.

Dave...

Go.

I've got absolutely no idea.

Erm...

-I've got a feeling it's down south somewhere, though.

-It's a guess.

Yeah, that's a big guess.

If you lose this, you've lost your second life

and you are out of the game.

Pressure Pad, is he in the right section?

You are. You're all right. It was Torquay.

Pressure Pad, cut the map.

Go.

Henley, I think. Normally famous for its rowing, which is down here.

Pressure Pad, is he in the right section?

You're correct. It is in Henley-on-Thames.

Pressure Pad, cut the map.

Dave...

Go.

I think, but I can't remember exactly where it's from.

But I've got a feeling it was a long march.

I'm thinking this area.

OK, Pressure Pad, is he correct?

You're incorrect.

The correct section was...

Stamford Bridge, which is near York.

They marched from the battle down to Hastings.

You've lost a second life.

Unfortunately, Dave, that means you are out of the game.

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

-You are in the final.

-APPLAUSE

-Al, you've lost your first player.

-Yeah.

The one you were most confident about.

-I won't make that mistake again.

-No.

Guess what you're in for, then.

You better be careful, cos somebody might give you abuse back.

-I'm used to it.

-OK.

Barry, James was very good at reading maps, wasn't he?

-He was. Well, when you spend all your time doing it...

-Yeah.

You make him sound like that's all he does.

I'm sure there's other things in your life, James, right?

-There are, yes.

-Good, I'm glad to hear it.

The last head-to-head is called Orbit.

APPLAUSE

On the Pressure Pad, you will see four categories.

Your job is to correctly answer one question in each category,

but there is a twist.

The first player will set the time for the second player to beat.

The player who takes the longest will lose a life.

Captains, as you don't play in the head-to-heads

and this is the last one before the final,

we know who's going to play next.

So, Alan and Elaine, please come and join me on the Pressure Pad.

APPLAUSE

Hello, Alan.

-How are you doing?

-All right, good to see you. Hi, Elaine.

-Lovely to meet you. Alan, how are you feeling?

-Surprised.

-Why?

-We still have four.

-Really?

-Yeah.

What would you do if you won part of the money.

-I think we're all planning a lads holiday.

-Nice.

-Nice. That would be a bash.

-Yeah. I think we're planning Vegas, VIP.

Bit of Hangover style.

Let me know because I'm only a 20-minute flight from Vegas.

-We'll give you a call.

-I'll come and join you.

That's what I like to hear. Good luck.

Elaine, what would you do if you won the money, £12,000?

-We would probably cruise somewhere.

-Nice.

-Panama, I think.

Very nice. Good luck.

All right, time to decide who's going to play first.

Colour is...blue.

Alan, confirm with your team if you want to go first or second.

-First?

-First.

-Yeah.

-First.

-OK.

Alan and Elaine, please take your positions on the Pressure Pad.

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

You start with two lives each.

When you've lost your two lives, you are out of the game.

Remember, you need to answer a question correctly

in each category before you can move on.

If you don't know the answer, you can pass.

I will only accept the first answer you give me.

Unfortunately, you are out of time, which means, Alan,

you have lost both your lives.

You are out of the game.

However, Elaine, you stood the pressure of the Pressure Pad,

-you are in the final.

-APPLAUSE

Well, that's it for the head-to-heads.

Well done to both of the teams.

Al, you have two players to help you in the final.

Barry, you have two players to help you in the final.

Al and Barry, come on and join me on the Pressure Pad.

APPLAUSE

Hello, Al. Nice to see you.

Hi, Barry.

Welcome, gentlemen.

Al, you're down here now. How is it?

Yeah, I'm known to have spectacular collapses with any

manner of pressure, so...

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Awesome!

Yeah, this is going to be interesting.

Before you collapse under the pressure, as you say,

I hear you're a big fan, you have a guilty pleasure of somebody.

Yeah, yeah. Michael Bolton. MB.

Can you sing like him?

-Eh...

-Come on, give me a bit of one of his songs.

-You've put me on the spot now.

-No... Is Al a good singer?

-He is pretty good, actually.

-Is he really?

-Really?

-Right, OK.

Go on.

# How can we be lovers if we can't be friends?

# How can we start over when the fighting never ends? #

Very good.

APPLAUSE Thanks.

I now am hard of hearing in this ear, but I'm OK.

No, I love hearing people who sing, however they sing.

I'm being diplomatic.

-That's nice.

-With passion.

-Yeah.

-With passion. It's wonderful.

-Thank you.

-Good luck.

-Thank you very much.

-You're welcome.

-Cheers.

-Barry.

-Yes, John.

Are you scared?

-No. I'm quietly confident.

-Quietly confident.

You've got two players to help you, all right?

So you've got a good back up.

You said an all-rounder with Elaine.

James is just going...over to you from behind you. You can't see it.

-I wish you luck.

-Thank you.

-OK?

Al and Barry, please take your positions on the Pressure Pad.

APPLAUSE

So here's how the final works.

Each team will be given four multiple choice questions.

There's no time limit, but if you make a mistake,

you let your opponents into the game.

The first team to answer all four questions correctly will

go on to play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £12,000.

APPLAUSE

The advantage of going first in the final normally goes to the team

with most players in the final, but that is equal.

As both teams have lost the same number

of lives in the head-to-heads,

we will revert to the trusty coin to decide.

It is the Blue Team.

So, Al, you are going to be up first. Good luck.

Here is your first question.

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

You can, of course, confer with your team.

Here we go.

-This is a tricky one.

-I'm not sure.

It's one of them two, definitely.

Right. Thanks for your help, lads.

I'm going to go with South Australia.

OK. Pressure Pad, is it correct?

Incorrect.

Play automatically will pass right over to Barry.

Barry, here is your question.

Don't know, never been.

Been, but don't know.

OK. Seeing as we don't know. I've got a feeling it might be Po.

You're saying the Po. Pressure Pad, is it correct?

Incorrect. Play passes right back over to Al.

Al, we know the answer to your first question. It is Queensland.

OK. Your next question...

I'm not familiar with her work.

-Obviously neither are they.

-I'll have a guess at Dartmoor.

He thinks Dartmoor if anything else.

It's stupid of me to look around, really.

I'm going to go with the Peaks.

-I don't know why, but I'm stood on it now.

-Peak District.

Yeah.

Pressure Pad, is it correct?

Incorrect.

Play passes right back over to Barry.

Barry, we know the answer to your question obviously is Arno.

Here is your next question...

-I know it's not butterflies.

-It's not bees either. I'd say beetles.

-Process of elimination.

-Mm-hmm.

Barry's saying beetles.

Is he correct or incorrect?

Correct.

Next question...

-I think it's in Utah.

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

-You seem confident.

Yeah. It's always a desert-y area.

They've got all those tall rock things.

They don't ever show that in the clips, but I'd say Utah.

OK. We're saying Utah for its desert-y area.

LAUGHTER

Pressure Pad, is it correct?

Yes, you are.

Well done.

Next question...

Bang is kind of exclamation-y, isn't it?

I would say exclamation mark as well, cos asterisk...

It doesn't...

It's just kind of there to show that something might need to add on.

Ampersand, got to be honest with you, sounds like a seaside resort.

Question mark, em...

No, it doesn't shriek or bang at me.

Colon separates out sentences, so I reckon it's the exclamation mark.

OK.

If it is correct and it is an exclamation mark,

you're on your way to the £12,000 jackpot question.

If not, play passes back over to Al and the boys.

Pressure Pad, is exclamation mark correct or incorrect?

It's correct.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Congratulations, Barry.

You have beaten your opponent,

and now have the chance to play for the jackpot of £12,000.

Al, your answer was the Lake District.

Unfortunately, guys, you don't get to play for the £12,000,

but you've been a great team. We've had some great fun with you.

Well done. A big round of applause for the Blue Team.

APPLAUSE

Barry, well done to you and your team.

You've made it this far.

You are now just one question away from winning the jackpot of £12,000.

To win all the cash, all you have to do is answer one final

question correctly, but there is a twist.

In a moment, I will show you two categories.

The jackpot question will be based on one of these two categories.

You can decide with your team which category you're going to choose.

But as team captain, you must answer the question without any help.

Here are the two categories.

Well, what do you think?

It's got to be Education, you're a teacher.

But they're going to throw something in there

that's going to be difficult.

-Are you confident with Meryl Streep?

-Not at all.

-I'll probably say Education.

-I think you've got to, mate.

Education, please, John.

OK, you're going to go with Education.

-You're a teacher.

-Mm-hmm.

-Uh-huh.

So you should be pretty good at this.

You'd expect so, yes,

but...I'm a little bit worried about what might come up.

What would it mean to win £12,000?

Well, I've just bought a new house,

so I might be able to do a little bit of work on it.

But I think Victoria might have a few words to say about that.

She might want to go on holiday.

Holiday would be nice.

-Cos then you might have more challenges for each other.

-Exactly.

That'd be good. All right. Remember from here on, it's all down to you.

You are no longer allowed to confer with your team.

Here are the six possible answers to your question. They are...

Here is your question.

I believe it's advanced.

OK, for £12,000, please stand on the answer you would like to select.

Once you stand on it...

LAUGHTER

..it will be locked in. Are you sure?

I'm fairly certain, yeah.

I will step onto the Pressure Pad.

Lock in my answer.

If it is correct, you and your team have just won £12,000.

If it's wrong, you leave with nothing,

and the jackpot will increase to £15,000 for the next show.

Pressure Pad, is advanced the correct answer?

It's correct!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Congratulations.

-Thank you.

-Well done.

How do you feel now?

-Ecstatic. I'm trembling with, like...

-You're speechless.

-Yeah.

Well, congratulations, Barry. You and your team have just won £12,000.

The jackpot now has been reset to £3,000.

Join us next time to see if another team can win like these guys.

Thanks for watching. Don't forget, if you can't take the pressure...

Stay off the Pressure Pad.

That's right.

Goodbye, everybody.
