Episode 16 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 show 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.

You know how things work,

let's meet the teams.

Hi, John, I'm Conal, and this group of hunks to my left are my team.

We're a group of friends from Leeds.

-To my left, we have Mark.

-Hi, John.

-Hello.

-Then there's Chris.

-Hi, John.

-Hi, Chris.

-And Paul.

-Hi, John.

-Hello.

And last but not least, it's Tiny Tim on the end there.

-Hi, John.

-Hello, Tim.

"The hunks" - is that what you refer to yourselves as?

-It is indeed.

-Welcome, have you guys quizzed before?

Not really. We do the odd pub quiz

but this is kind of a first for us today.

Excellent, and how do you think you're going to do?

Just short of average but we'll see.

We hope you do better than that, good luck.

Pink team, introduce yourself and your team.

Hi, John, my name's Jules.

We all come from in or around Glasgow.

We all work together. To my right, I've got Jennifer.

-Hi, John.

-Hello.

-And then Sarah.

-Hi, John.

-Hello.

-And then we've got Allanah.

-Hi, John.

-Hello.

-And last but not least, Steph.

-Hi, John.

-Hi, Steph.

You're playing against the Glasgow girls.

-GLASGOW ACCENT:

-You may not do so well the day!

Have you quizzed before, ladies?

-No.

-No.

You haven't?

You might be OK, boys.

So did you throw the group together just for the show?

No. Our boss Marisa decided to put us all together.

-So why is Marisa not up here with you, then?

-Good question.

Marisa, you're a chicken.

-Is she a Glasgow girl?

-She is

I'd better shut my mouth, then.

-Good luck.

-Thank you.

Our first head-to-head is called Deadline.

In the centre of the Pressure Pad, you will see a deadline.

All you have to do is stop the deadline reaching your area

on the pad.

The only way to do that is by answering questions correctly.

Captains, you know how the game works, who do you want to play?

I would like Chris to be down there.

He's a dentist, so he needs a steady hand,

he needs to stay calm under pressure.

That was very well done, made up on the spot.

I enjoyed that.

Jules, who are you going to send down?

I think for this one we're going to send Allanah.

We'll see if she works well under pressure.

You have no idea, do you?

Can't wait for this one. Please come and join me on the Pressure Pad.

APPLAUSE

Hi, Chris. How are you?

Hi, Allanah.

Chris, how long have you been doing dentistry?

-30 years.

-30 years? Do you ever get bored?

Yes.

What is the most exciting thing for you, as a dentist,

that comes through your door?

When somebody does come in in pain and they leave out of pain.

-Cos you know...

-I've helped them.

-I know I'm in good hands if I get a toothache.

-Yes.

-Good luck.

-Thank you.

-Hello, Allanah. How are you?

-I'm all right.

-So how do you feel being first up for your group?

-Terrified.

Are you going to use that fear to help yourself

do a little bit better?

-Yes, I am, hopefully.

-We'll soon see, good luck.

Time to decide who's going to play first -

to do that I will toss the coin, and it's going to be the blue team.

So, Chris, you can decide if you're going to go first or second.

-What do you reckon?

-First.

-Go for it.

-They're going to go first.

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,

the deadline will move across the Pressure Pad

and get closer to you until you get a question right.

Give a correct answer and the deadline will reverse towards your opponent.

If the deadline reaches your area, you lose a life.

I will only accept the first answer you give me,

Congratulations to you, Chris.

APPLAUSE

-Conal, boys in the lead.

-So far.

So the confidence might be waning a little bit?

-There's time yet.

-I've got to go yet.

We'll wait for that, Paul.

Ladies, Allanah is no more.

Not on the Pressure Pad.

She's sitting back there having a cup of tea but she's no more here.

Do you think it was the right thing to send her up first?

Nobody wanted to go first so she did amazingly well.

Do you guys actually want to be here?!

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 the 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 to lock in those answers.

Step on too early and you lose a life.

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

So who will play for the blue team?

I'm going to send Tim down.

He's been around the block a little bit

and he's got quite an extensive knowledge of trivial stuff,

so I thought he'd be the best one for this.

-All right, extensive knowledge, Tim.

-Apparently so.

Jules, who are you going to send down?

For this one, John, we are going to send Steph.

She's fast and fierce.

Fast and fierce! Can't wait for that one.

Tim and Steph, please come and join me on the Pressure Pad.

APPLAUSE

Hi, Tim. How are you?

Oh, that's... Steph.

Tim, if you were to win today,

what would you do with your little stash of the money?

I've just proposed to my girlfriend so I'll probably put it towards a ring.

-How did you propose?

-In the kitchen.

On one knee. Very romantic!

-I was as nervous with that as I am now.

-Really?

-Yes.

Please don't get down on one knee.

Good luck today.

Steph, what did you do?

I fell when I was playing with my wee boy.

And what were you playing? WWF Wrestling?

-We were just running about.

-And you just tripped and fell.

So what would you do if you won some money?

I would spend it on my wee boy and I'm getting married

so I'd put it towards my wedding fund.

And how did your fiance propose to you?

In New York on a horse and carriage.

Should have done that.

-And was it snowing?

-Yes.

-It was snowing.

Dr Zhivago!

She'd have said yes in the kitchen as well.

-Would you?

-I would've. I've waited nine years.

-Have you?!

-Any way he was going to propose was going to be good?

-Yeah.

-Excellent. Good luck today.

-Thank you.

As you both play Step On at the same time,

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

And it is going to be...

the blue team.

Tim and Steph, 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 onto the Pressure Pad

when you see three correct answers at the same time.

Tim, here are the four categories. They are...

Pop Music, please.

OK, you are going to choose Pop Music.

You must step in when you see...

Here's the first option.

We have a step on.

-Steph, which one are you most positive about?

-Fame.

Which one are you least sure about?

Move Closer.

Pressure Pad, was Fame a UK number one in the 1980s?

Yes, it was.

Move Closer, let's see if that was a UK number one in the 1980s.

It was.

Let's check Wuthering Heights.

It wasn't.

Unfortunately, that means you've lost a life.

If you lose one more, you are out of the game.

Tim, you still have your two lives intact which means

you are one step closer to the final.

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

-Shakespeare, please.

-You're going to choose Shakespeare.

All right, the category is Shakespeare

and you need to step on when you see the names

of three plays by William Shakespeare.

First one is...

OK, you both stepped on at the same time but I'm being told

that Steph stepped on two twenty-fifths of a second

faster than Tim.

We don't know if it's right or wrong yet but we are soon to find out.

Steph, which one do you think you are most confident about?

Hamlet.

Which is your least?

Comedy Of Errors.

Let's see if Hamlet is a play by William Shakespeare.

Pressure Pad, is it?

Yes, it is.

Let's have a look at Coriolanus.

Pressure Pad, is it a play by Shakespeare?

Yes, it is.

And if The Comedy Of Errors is a Shakespearean play,

you have stepped on at the right time.

If not, you have lost your second life.

Pressure Pad, let's see if it is a play by Shakespeare.

It is absolutely correct. You have the right answers.

You could have both stepped on earlier

because we had Antony And Cleopatra,

Cymbeline and The Winter's Tale all on the Pressure Pad

at the same time so you missed an opportunity previously.

So each of you has lost a life.

The next person to make a mistake is out of the game

and out of the final.

Tim, you go first this time. Please choose a category. They are...

-Nobel Prizes, please.

-Nobel Prizes. OK.

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

have won a Nobel Prize.

The first one is...

OK, we have a step on from Steph.

Steph, which one are you most sure about?

I'm not really, I just panicked!

-The pressure was too much, huh?

-Yes.

We're looking for the people who have won a Nobel Prize.

Are you sure about any of them?

-No.

-No. Let's just go at random.

If you've got it wrong, you'll have lost your second life

and you're out of the game.

Pressure Pad, is Francis Crick a Nobel Prize winner?

Yes, he is. Is Nelson Mandela a Nobel Prize winner?

Yes, he is. You have two out of three.

Any inkling about Stephen Hawking?

-If he's not got one, he should have one.

-You think he should have one?

I bet you do, right now, especially.

-And Tim, you're hoping that he hasn't!

-I think he has.

-You think he has?

-Yeah.

-Interesting, let's see.

Pressure Pad, has Stephen Hawking won a Nobel Prize?

No, he has not.

Steph, you have lost your second life, you are out of the game.

Tim, you stood the pressure of the Pressure Pad, you are in the final!

APPLAUSE

-Conal, Tim did well. How did it feel, Tim?

-Terrifying.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-You can relax now, you've done your bit.

-Jules, Jules, Jules.

-I know, I said she was fast, she was just too fast.

-Come on, girls.

-I know, we're not doing very well.

-I think you'll do better.

-D'you think?

-Hope so.

The next head-to-head is called Orbit.

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.

So, captains, you know how the game works.

Who do you want to send down to play Orbit?

-We're going to let Paul have a go at this one.

-Paul, your turn.

-Super-duper. See you down here.

-OK.

-Jules?

-We're going to send Sarah.

-And why Sarah?

-She's wired to the moon.

-She's wired to the moon?

So, Paul and Sarah, please come and join me on the Pressure Pad.

APPLAUSE

-Hi, Paul.

-Hi.

-Hi, Sarah.

-Hi.

-Nice to see you.

Time to decide who is going to play first.

Pinks.

Please confer with your team, Sarah, to see

-if you want to go first or second.

-Go first.

-First?

-Yes.

First, please, John.

Sarah is going to go first, so, Paul and Sarah,

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 your two lives are up, 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 to each question.

OK, Sarah, whatever time you set is the time Paul has to beat.

The four categories are...

APPLAUSE

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

You must put options in order based on a question.

You'll only have ten seconds to make your decision.

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

last one before the final, we know exactly who's going to play next.

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

APPLAUSE

Hi, Mark. How are you? Hi, Jennifer. Nice to see you.

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

I'm going to toss the coin.

And it is going to be

the Pink Team. All right, confer with your team and see

-if you're going to play first or second.

-First.

OK, Jennifer, you're going to go first.

Mark and Jennifer, 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.

Jennifer, you are up first.

Here are the four categories.

They are...

Which one do you want to choose?

-Film, please.

-Film.

OK.

Your first option is...

You must now place Die Hard With A Vengeance in order.

If you think Die Hard With A Vengeance was released after

Die Hard, you stand above it.

If you think it was released before Die Hard, you should stand below it.

You have ten seconds. Go.

OK, you've stood below Die Hard so you're saying

Die Hard With A Vengeance was released before Die Hard.

OK. Pressure Pad, is she correct?

No, you're not.

The correct order was...

because Die Hard With A Vengeance was released after Die Hard.

Die Hard was 1988, Die Hard With A Vengeance was 1985.

-So, unfortunately, that means you've lost a life.

-Oh!

Lose one more life and you're out of the game.

-Mark, you're up first this time.

-OK.

Pressure Pad, reset, and choose a category.

-I'll go with Politics.

-You're going to go with Politics.

OK...

Your first option is...

You must now place Ronald Reagan in order.

If you think Ronald Reagan was president after

Franklin D Roosevelt, you should stand above him.

If you think you became president before Franklin D Roosevelt,

you should stand below him.

OK, you have ten seconds. Go.

All right, so you think Ronald Reagan

was after Franklin D Roosevelt.

-I do.

-OK, let's see if your correct.

You're absolutely right.

Jennifer,

Abraham Lincoln. Go.

Right, so he was first.

So Ronald Reagan, then...

-Two seconds.

-Oh!

I'm trying. Right, OK.

-Decision made.

-Just in the nick of time.

You stood below Franklin D Roosevelt.

-So you think Abraham Lincoln was before Franklin D Roosevelt.

-Yeah.

Let's see if you're correct.

You're correct.

The next one is Theodore Roosevelt. Go.

Five seconds.

You think he was after Abraham Lincoln

-but before Franklin D Roosevelt.

-Mm.

Pressure Pad,

is he correct or incorrect?

You're correct.

All right. Next one.

Jimmy Carter. Go.

About here somewhere. I'm going to go here.

OK, you think he is after Franklin D Roosevelt

but before Ronald Reagan.

OK? Pressure Pad, is Jennifer correct?

You are correct.

Next one. Lyndon B Johnson. Go.

OK, so your saying he is after Franklin D Roosevelt

but before Jimmy Carter.

All right, let's see if you're

correct or incorrect. Pressure Pad,

correct or incorrect?

You are correct.

Next one. Dwight D Eisenhower. Go.

About here again.

No, I'm changing my mind. I'm going to go here.

So, you think he's after Jimmy Carter

but before Ronald Reagan.

-I have no idea. I'm guessing.

-If it's wrong, you're out of the game.

If it's right, then we're going to play on.

OK, let's see if you're right or wrong.

It's incorrect.

Dwight D Eisenhower was 1953,

Franklin D Roosevelt was 1933,

Theodore Roosevelt was 1901,

Abraham Lincoln was 1861.

-So, you've lost two lives, which means you are...

-Well done.

..out of the game but, Mark,

you stood the pressure of the Pressure Pad - you're in the final.

APPLAUSE

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

Well done to both of the teams.

Conal, you have three players to help you in the final

and Jules, you have one player to help you.

Conal and Jules, come and join me on the Pressure Pad.

-Hi, Conal.

-Hi, John.

-Nice to see you.

-You too, thanks.

-Hi, Jules.

-Hi, John.

-Nice to see you. You're both down here. How do you feel now?

It was quite nice standing up there out of the spotlight.

-Pressure's on you now.

-Big stand.

-How do you feel?

A bit nervous but my boys have done me proud so far so, hopefully,

I can keep up the good work, really.

-All right, we're going to find out in about two seconds.

-Cool.

-Good luck. Jules.

-Hi.

-How do you feel?

-Nervous, the same as Conal.

-Uh-huh. You've got Sarah to help you back there.

-Yeah.

-She did well.

-Yeah, she did.

-So fingers crossed.

-Yeah.

-OK?

Conal and Jules,

please take your positions on the Pressure Pad as we play the final.

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

Conal, as you have the most players in the final,

you get the advantage of going first.

Here is your first question.

Well, being from Leeds, we'd be in trouble if we got this one wrong.

It's the Kaiser Chiefs.

All right. Quite confident.

Let's see if you're right. Pressure Pad, Kaiser Chiefs?

You are correct.

APPLAUSE

Next question.

Desert Island Discs, no.

The World At One, I know who presents that.

I can't remember but it's definitely neither of those two so

-are you happy with the Today programme?

-Today.

Let's see if you are right.

Pressure Pad, is it Today?

It is.

APPLAUSE

Next question.

I don't think it's Julia Donaldson. My kids read her books

and that doesn't ring any bells.

-Have you guys any idea at all?

-First one.

-First one?

-Yeah.

Any reason why you think that or is it just...?

There's two Michaels so I suspect one of them is the right answer.

-I'm thinking Michael Rosen.

-Go for it.

I'm going to go with Michael Rosen.

-If I get this wrong, I'll never hear the end of it.

-True.

-True.

All right, you're saying Michael Rosen.

Let's see if you're correct or incorrect.

If you are incorrect, play passes over to Jules.

If you're correct, you continue on to the next question

and your life will be easy with no ribbing from your friends.

Pressure Pad, is he correct or incorrect?

You're incorrect.

So, play passes over to you, Jules. Your first question is...

Oh...

-Would this be a 50-50 guess?

-I've heard of him.

I haven't heard of him. Sarah?

-I'd go Zidane cos I know Zidane plays for them so...

-Yeah.

-A guess.

-OK.

Total guess.

Locking in Zinedine Zidane. Let's see if you are correct or incorrect.

You're incorrect.

There's a surprise(!)

Play passes back over to Conal.

Now, Conal, you can redeem yourself with your team-mates.

The question was...

You're left with...

Feeling Dick King-Smith now.

We changed our minds as well.

-You changed your mind?

-Yeah, Dick King-Smith.

I'm not going to overrule them this time so

I'm going with the boys this time.

Dick King-Smith.

OK, you are saying Dick King-Smith. Again, if you're correct,

you go to the next question.

If you're incorrect, play passes back to Jules.

Pressure Pad, is it right?

It's correct.

Well done, boys. APPLAUSE

Next question.

I'm sure it's up north,

Northeast. I'm sure it's one of those countries.

-Northeast?

-Mali's got a big coast, hasn't it?

And Somalia has a massive coastline. I'll go with you guys this time.

I have a feeling it is Somalia.

A long way round South Africa at the bottom. Go with that, then?

-South Africa.

-Definitely not.

-It's not?

-No.

-All right, go Mozambique, then.

-Is that our next best?

-Yeah.

-If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

-It's not as easy as it looks, this.

You don't have to tell me that!

Right, we'll go for Mozambique.

And you're locked in. You're going to go with Mozambique.

If Mozambique is right, you're going on for a £12,000 jackpot question.

If it's not, play passes back over to Jules.

Pressure Pad, is it Mozambique?

It is not Mozambique.

Play passes back to Jules.

So, Jules, obviously the answer

to your first question is Didier Deschamps.

-Yeah.

-OK? So your next question is...

Oh, my sister's been here on holiday.

She's going to kill me if I don't get this right. Do you know, Sarah?

-I've got no idea.

-I've heard of Salerno.

It's where the ham comes from.

-Erm...I'll just go for it. Will I just go?

-Yeah.

We came with nothing, we're probably

going to leave with nothing.

That's a good attitude to have but, you know, it might work

-in your favour.

-It might do.

OK, so you're choosing Salerno.

If it's correct, you go to the next question.

If it's incorrect, play passes

back over to the Blue Team.

Pressure Pad, is it Salerno?

It is incorrect.

So we are back to the Blue Team with Conal.

We're trying to figure out...

-My gut instinct at the start was Somalia. Somalia?

-Go for it.

-Yeah.

We'll go for Somalia.

All right, so, Pressure Pad,

for the £12,000 jackpot question,

is it Somalia?

It is correct.

APPLAUSE

So, congratulations, Conal.

You and your team are going on to play for £12,000.

Unfortunately, Jules, that's the end of your road

-but your correct answer was Catania.

-OK.

All right, so, a big round of applause for the Pink Team.

APPLAUSE

Right, Conal, well done to both you and your team

for making it this far.

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

To win 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.

You can decide with your team which category to select, however,

as team captain, you must answer the question

-without help from your team. Do you understand?

-Yeah.

Here are the two categories. They are...

Which category are you going to choose?

The one thing we really hoped wouldn't appear today because none

of us watch it is reality TV. But we don't know what it's going to be.

-It's your call, Conal.

-You know a fair bit.

-Your call on that one.

-Last Words could be anything, really.

-Yeah.

But the one thing we really said we would fall down on would be

reality TV because we just don't watch it.

It's going to be...

Last Words.

Last Words. Remember, from this point on, it's all down to you.

Conal, here are the six possible answers to your question.

They are...

The question is...

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

I'm starting to think I should have gone for Reality TV now maybe but...

This really is something I'm not confident about.

These three, I really don't know them at all.

These three, I do.

I don't think it's Macbeth,

I don't think it's Romeo.

I'm going to go with Hamlet.

-This is worth £12,000.

-Mm-hm.

If Hamlet is correct, you and your team will be leaving with £12,000.

If it's wrong, you will be leaving with absolutely nothing

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

Your team has played very well. I'm going to put you out of your misery.

I have a feeling I will remember

this quote for the rest of my life, though.

I have a feeling that you will also.

You've made the decision by yourself.

Is it the right decision?

Pressure Pad, is the correct answer

Hamlet, for £12,000?

It is correct!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It is correct. Congratulations.

You have just won £12,000.

You're never going to forget that now, are you?

Never, ever going to forget that last word. How do you guys feel?

-Did he do well?

-Very well.

-Fantastic.

Well, congratulations, Conal, and to the rest of your team.

You leave with £12,000.

So the jackpot has been reset to £3,000.

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

Thanks for watching and, don't forget,

-if you can't take the pressure...

-Stay off the Pressure Pad.

That is correct. Goodbye, everybody.

APPLAUSE
