Episode 5 Pressure Pad

This is Pressure Pad. 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 teammates 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.

AUDIENCE: Whoo!

Yeah, nice.

So you know how things work, let's meet the teams.

Hi, John. I'm Paul, and we're colleagues from Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland.

-This is my colleague Emma.

-Hi, John.

-Scott.

-Hello, John.

-Sara.

-Hello, John.

-And Naomi.

-Hello, John.

-Hello.

So have you guys done pub quizzes, are you quizzers?

Well, as a charity, a lot of our supporters do run their own quizzes,

so that's a really big income bonus for us.

And I think most of us take part in quizzes, yeah.

-So you think you'll do OK?

-I think we'll do pretty well.

-Well, good luck.

-Thank you.

Pink Team captain, please introduce yourself and your team.

Hello, my name is Paul, too.

I'm from St Austell in Cornwall

and I've brought my work colleagues along with me.

-We're from Devon and Cornwall Police.

-Oh.

-We have Jon.

-Hello, John.

-All right.

-Yaz.

-Hi, John.

-Hello, Yaz.

-Grae.

-Hi.

-Hello.

-And, making up the numbers, Jay.

-Hi, John.

-Hi, Jay.

I'll be on my best behaviour. So you're all in the police force?

-That's right, yeah.

-Did you bring your uniforms?

LAUGHTER

All right, good luck to the police force on the Pressure Pad.

-Thank you.

-OK, our first head-to-head is called Time Out.

APPLAUSE

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.

So, Paul, who will be playing for the Blue Team?

I'm delighted to say our first team member up is Emma.

Emma works in our finance department, so she's used to pressure

-and she always has our salaries out on time.

-OK. Paul, who are you going to choose?

I'm sending out Jay. He's our hard man.

OK, Emma and Jay, please come and join me on the Pressure Pad.

APPLAUSE

-Hello, Emma.

-Hi.

-How are you?

-I'm good.

-Good. Hi, Jay.

-How you doing?

Emma, what would you spend your money on if you won?

-We're actually going to be donating it back to our charity.

-Excellent. Good luck.

-Thank you.

-You're welcome. Hi, Jay.

-Hell, John.

You have described yourself as the Bear Grylls of the team.

I didn't describe that, that was my sergeant.

-He's set me up a little bit.

-How would

-you

-describe yourself?

Just a regular guy. I just do my job and like going in the outdoors.

-All right. Good luck.

-Thank you.

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

To do that I will toss the Pressure Pad coin.

And it is...

the Blues.

So, Emma, you can decide if you want to go first or second?

-I think we'll go first.

-All right.

Emma and Jay, 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 do the game.

OK, Emma, you're up first.

Here are your four categories. They are...

-Erm...I think I'll go with '90s Pop.

-OK.

You are going to go for '90s Pop.

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.

I am going to give you lists of songs

that were in the UK Top 40 singles charts in the 1990s.

For each list, I need you to tell me

the name of the singer or group

who had a hit single with all these songs.

And, unfortunately your time ran out. You've lost a life.

You still have one life left, if you lose that you are out of the game.

Emma, you still have your two lives,

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

Jay, you will go first this time. So please choose a category.

They are...

-I think I'm going to go for Food, John.

-You're going to go for Food.

But unfortunately, Jay, again you have run out of time,

which means you have lost both lives, so you are out of the game.

Emma, congratulations, you stood the pressure of the Pressure Pad,

-you are in the final!

-APPLAUSE

-All right, Paul, good choice to start off with.

-Absolutely.

She did a brilliant job. Well done, Emma.

-Paul, you lost Jay.

-He was good while he lasted.

-Yeah, he was.

-Didn't know much about...

-Anything.

-Yeah.

LAUGHTER

All right, we'll see how the rest of you do in a second, OK?

The next 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 pick the ones you know.

Paul, who will be playing for the Blue Team?

The blue team member for this round, John, is going to be Sara.

Sara works on our fundraising team,

she gets involved in all sorts of interesting events

and she's quick witted, so I think she'll do excellent in this round.

-I can't wait to see that, Sara.

-SHE LAUGHS

-Paul, who are you going to send down?

-This time I'm more confident, I'm sending Yaz down.

Yaz is very quick with words, sharp, that's what we need.

All right. Sara and Yaz, please come down and join me on the Pressure Pad.

APPLAUSE

-Hi, Sara.

-Hi.

-How are you? And, Yaz.

Nice to see you both.

-Sara, you look a little nervous?

-I am a little bit nervous.

But your team captain said you're very quick-witted.

-Well, we'll see.

-We certainly will.

-Good luck.

-Thank you.

-You're welcome.

Yaz, you are quick with words, apparently.

-Supposedly.

-What would you do with any money that you win?

I would put it towards a house deposit.

-I'm desperate to get on the property market.

-Very, very sensible.

-Every little helps, doesn't it?

-Absolutely.

-All right.

-Thank you.

It's time to decide who is going to play first. And it's going to be...

..the Blue Team.

-OK. So, Sara, are you going to go first or second?

-You choose.

-First.

You're going to go first.

OK, Sara and Yaz, please take your positions on the Pressure Pad.

APPLAUSE

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

As ever, you start with two lives.

OK, Sara, you're up first.

Here are your categories. They are...

-Film, please.

-You are going to choose...Film.

You will have ten seconds to stand on the segment

you want to select and give me your answer.

I will only accept your first answer.

Here are the six options.

The question is...

Go.

Er...Alfred Hitchcock.

You've gone for Rear Window and you think it's Alfred Hitchcock.

Pressure Pad, is she correct?

-Absolutely right.

-APPLAUSE

The Pressure Pad is updated.

Yaz, go.

-OK.

-Stephen Spielberg.

So you're saying Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Stephen Spielberg?

-Pretty sure about this?

-No.

-Not at all.

-OK.

Pressure Pad... Let's see if you're correct. Is she?

No, you're not. It's the wrong answer.

George Lucas directed Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

Other answers you could've given were Goodfellas, Martin Scorsese.

Saving Private Ryan was Steven Spielberg.

Bananas was Woody Allen.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day was James Cameron.

A Clockwork Orange was Stanley Kubrick.

Those were the others you could have chosen, but fortunately, Yaz, you've lost a life.

You have one left, if you lose that you are out of the game.

And, Sara, you still have your two lives intact.

All right, Yaz, you will go first this time. Please choose a category.

They are...

-I'm going to have to go with Fashion, I think.

-OK.

You are going to choose Fashion.

Here are the six options.

The question is...

Yaz, go.

-Germany.

-How sure are you on this one?

I'm not sure at all.

If this is correct you're still in the game,

if it's incorrect then you've lost your second life and you're out of the game.

And, Sara, then you are on to the final.

So, Calvin Klein...

and you're saying Germany.

Pressure Pad, is it correct?

It is not. Calvin Klein was actually the United States.

OK? The other answers on the Pressure Pad were

Donatella Versace, Italy.

Christian Dior is France.

Betty Jackson is the United Kingdom.

Manolo Blahnik is Spain.

And Paul Costelloe is Ireland.

So unfortunately, Yaz, you've lost your second life,

which means you are out of the game.

However, Sara, you have stood the pressure of the Pressure Pad

-by not doing very much at all. You are in the final!

-LAUGHTER

-Yay!

-APPLAUSE

-Hey, Paul, you're doing all right.

-Absolutely.

The girls have done brilliant so far, I just hope we don't let them down.

OK, we'll soon see.

Paul, Yaz fell to the pressure.

-When I saw Fashion, I thought, "Right up her street."

-All right, we'll see how you guys do in a second.

The next 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's a twist,

the first player will set the tine 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?

Well, John, it's time for the first boy member of our team.

Scott works in our IT department and he's a great golfer,

so I don't think this round's going to be a handicap for him.

-LAUGHTER

-Excellent. All right. And, Paul,

let's see what comes out of your mouth, quick thinker.

LAUGHTER.

John likes twists, he's my man.

-This is the one.

-OK. Good confidence. OK.

So, Scott and John, please come and join me on the Pressure Pad.

APPLAUSE

-Hi, Scott.

-Nice to meet you.

-Hi, John. Nice to meet you.

-Scott, you're a keen golfer.

-I am, John, yes.

-You had a zero handicap.

-At one time about 20 years ago, yes, I did.

-Uh-huh. So do still play golf now?

-I still do, yes.

-Not many people can say they have a zero handicap. For people who don't golf, that's

-really

-good.

-Yes.

-OK, good luck.

-Thank you.

-John, how are you?

-Hello, John. I'm very well.

-What you like to do in your spare time?

-I play a bit of golf.

-I'm not as good as Scott.

-What's your handicap?

-21.

You're not as good as him, sorry.

-I play a bit of squash as well.

-Pretty aggressive squash player?

-I am, yes.

-So do we expect you to be aggressive on the Pressure Pad?

-I think I need to be because we're not doing very well.

-Exactly!

-Look at that! Good luck.

-Thank you.

Time to decide who's going to play first.

Pink Team.

John, confer with your team if you'd like to go first or second.

-Get on there.

-We're going first, John.

-All right.

Scott and John, please take your positions on the Pressure Pad.

APPLAUSE

We'll see how you guys do in a second.

The last head-to-head is called Borderline.

On the pressure pad you'll see a map of the British Isles.

Initially it will 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. Captains, as you don't play head-to-heads,

and as this is the last one before the final,

we know exactly who's going to play next. So, Naomi and Grae,

please come and join me on the pressure pad.

Hello, Naomi

Hi, Grae, welcome.

-Naomi, you...like Hula Hoops.

-I can do it a bit.

-How did you start?

-I went, "I don't want to pay to go to the gym

"cos I won't keep going, but a Hula Hoop costs about £12."

-So I went for that.

-Easy.

Small flat, but I'm fairly sure I've entertained a lot of my neighbours.

-HE LAUGHS

-All right, listen, good luck.

Grae, you were voted something at one time, weren't you?

Yeah, Most Eligible Bachelor of Solihull 1984.

Believe it or not I had hair then.

-I was about six foot.

-And then you joined the police force.

-Correct.

And the more walking you do, it scuffs your legs

-and you get shorter and shorter.

-Yeah.

-Are you still an eligible bachelor?

-No, married.

-Excellent.

-Good luck with Pressure Pad.

-Cheers.

Time to decide who is going to play first.

And the colour is...pink.

OK, Grae, please confer with... your sole team member and decide

-whether you want to go first...

-We'll go first.

OK, Naomi and Grae, please take your positions on the pressure pad.

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.

Grae, you're up first. You can change your mind as many times

as you like within the ten seconds but when the time is up

I will take the area you're standing in as your answer.

If you're standing in the wrong section you lose a life.

Pressure Pad, cut the map.

John, that's Manchester, so I'm going to stand here.

All right, confident about that one.

Pressure Pad, is he correct?

Absolutely right and it is Manchester.

Pressure Pad, cut the map.

Uh...well, I know where some of the River Thames is, so I'm going to...

stick with this area and not specify too much.

-So you're going to be vague?

-Yep.

-All right. Sometimes that works.

Pressure pad, is she in the right section?

You are. Thames Head is where it starts, in the Cotswolds,

although some locals dispute this. Pressure pad, cut the map.

John, this is a sheer guess.

I'm going to go...

..there.

Let's see if your guess is correct. Pressure Pad, is it?

Yes, it is. It's Belfast.

Well done. Pressure Pad, cut the map.

Um...I would expect it to still be

one of the London ones,

possibly Gatwick.

-This side.

-You left that one to the last second.

Pressure Pad, is she correct?

It is one of the London airports. It actually is Gatwick.

Pressure Pad, cut the map.

John, that's where I'm living at the moment,

that's Cornwall.

OK. Is Grae in the right section?

You are absolutely correct. Pressure Pad, cut the map.

Uh...I have absolutely no idea.

So...pick somewhere with a lot of coast.

-"Pick somewhere with a lot of coast."

-It's a seaside town.

Good logic(!) Let's see if it's correct. Pressure Pad, is she right?

-You are right.

-See?

-It's Whitby.

Pressure Pad, cut the map.

Another guess, John, I'm afraid. I'll go there.

Another guess. Let's see if you're correct. Pressure Pad, is he right?

No, you're not.

The correct answer is down there and it's the Bath Oliver biscuit.

Grae, you've lost a life.

Naomi, you will go first this time.

Pressure Pad, cut the map.

Uh...Lincoln.

But where that is... I'm not sure.

OK, Pressure Pad, is she correct?

You are correct. Well done.

Pressure Pad, cut the map.

John, I think that's Northern Ireland.

Pressure Pad, is he in the correct place?

Yes, you are. It is Northern Ireland.

The campuses are Belfast, Coleraine,

Jordanstown, Magee.

Pressure Pad, cut the map.

This time it's my city, which is Edinburgh.

I hope. Otherwise the one time I've been confident

-and wrong would be embarrassing.

-Certainly would be.

Let's see if you're in the right section.

You definitely are and you're right there, toes on Edinburgh.

Pressure Pad, cut the map.

I think that's Brighton.

So I'm going to go...

I'm going to go there, John.

OK, you're saying Brighton. Let's hope you're in the right section.

Pressure Pad, is he correct?

Yes, you are, and it is Brighton.

Pressure Pad, cut the map.

Naomi...

Go.

Rick Stein...

Not confident....

..but I think it might be on this coast.

OK, let's see if you are in the right section.

Pressure Pad, is she correct?

You're incorrect. The correct section was...

Right behind you.

It's Padstow and it's often been nicknamed Padstein

because he owns four restaurants there.

So you have each lost a life.

That means we go to a decider. Grae, you're going to go first.

Pressure Pad, reset the map.

Pressure Pad, cut the map.

Grae...

-Go.

-I'm not sure where. I know it's Scotland

but I'm not sure which town, John.

Let's hope you're in the right section.

Pressure Pad, is it correct?

It is.

And it is in Giffnock, near Glasgow, and he was born in 1951.

Pressure Pad, cut the map.

Naomi...

Go.

Dartmoor...

Again, I'm not sure.

I'm going to go south. Not confident at all.

Well, your time's up, you're there now,

-you've got to stay.

-Yeah.

OK, Pressure Pad, she's not sure but is she in the right section?

You are. It's Devon.

It covers 368 square miles.

Pressure Pad, cut the map.

Grae...

Go.

John, pure guess. I don't know.

I'll stand here. I don't know.

All right.

You don't know. It's a guess.

If this is right, you're still in the game.

If it's wrong, your captain, Paul, is all by himself

and Naomi goes to the final.

Pressure Pad, is he in the right section?

You are not.

It's The Merry Wives Of Windsor. The section below you.

So unfortunately, Grae,

you are out of the game. You've lost both your lives.

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

You are in the final.

APPLAUSE

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

Paul, you have all your players to help you in the final

and, Paul, you are all on your own with no-one to help you.

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

APPLAUSE

-Hello, Paul.

-Hello, John. Nice to meet you.

-Good to meet you, too.

-Hello, John.

-Hello, Paul.

-Two Pauls. So, you carried the Olympic torch.

-I did indeed.

I was very fortunate to do that in 2012, yeah.

And how did you get to carry the torch?

My daughter, who lives in Dumbarton in Scotland, nominated me

and I was just lucky to be picked out.

But also you have a title, don't you?

-I have some letters after my name, yeah.

-Which are?

-The MBE.

What did you get the MBE for?

I got it for services to the Navy and for doing things for charity,

-which is what I'm doing now. So, very lucky.

-Excellent.

-Good luck.

-Thank you.

Paul, how do you feel all by yourself?

A bit lonely, to be honest.

We planned it out so well and...

Well, hopefully, it will all go well for you, all right? Fingers crossed.

I've been in worse positions.

Paul and Paul, please take your positions -

which he's been in many - 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 opponent into the game.

The first team to answer all four questions correctly will

go on to play for the jackpot,

which rolls over by £3,000 for every show it isn't won.

No-one has won the last three shows

so it currently stands at £12,000.

Paul on the Blue Team, as you have the most players in the final,

you get the advantage of going first.

Here is the first question.

OK, I'm certainly not an opera fan

but I've got a gut feeling,

but I'm going to check with my team.

I'm thinking Puccini.

It's Puccini.

John, I'm going to go with...Puccini.

All right, you're going to go with Puccini.

Pressure Pad, is it correct?

-It is correct.

-Yes!

-It's Puccini.

Well done, team.

Here's your next question.

OK, zucchini.

I have to say I'm not quite sure

but I'm going to look back at my excellent team.

-ALL:

-Courgette.

And I'm thinking that the team want me to go to courgette.

THEY LAUGH

So, final answer, courgette.

OK, you've locked in courgette.

Pressure Pad, is courgette correct?

Yes, it is.

Well done, team.

Here's your next question.

-OK, team?

-Hawaii.

-OK.

I'm going to take the team's advice yet again and go for Hawaii.

OK, Hawaii is the answer that is locked in.

Let's see if it's correct. Pressure Pad, is it right?

Yes, it is. It's correct.

Well done, team. Well done.

OK, next question.

OK, yet again, fashion is not my strong point

so I'm going to look to my team.

We're a bit worried, Paul,

but hats has been suggested.

OK, Hamnett starts with H - hats.

The team think that.

It's the best I've got, John,

so I'm going to hope that this is correct and stick with hats.

OK, so you're locking in hats. Now, if this is correct,

this moves you on to the question for the jackpot.

If it's incorrect then Pink Paul has a chance to get in the game.

Let's see if you're correct.

Pressure Pad, is it hats?

It is not right...

which means Pink Paul is in the game.

Here is your first question.

I think we might go for Everton on this one.

OK. Is it Everton, Pressure Pad?

It is. Well done.

Next question.

That'll be Coronation Street.

You seem quite confident.

I remember him in Hollyoaks and he's just been in EastEnders recently.

OK, Pressure Pad, is it correct?

It is.

Next question.

I don't think it was Terry Pratchett cos he was...

..not that sort of writer.

Philip Pullman, Jeff Kinney.

On logic, I've never heard of Jeff Kinney so it's probably him.

-Going with someone you've never heard of.

-Yeah.

You've locked in Jeff Kinney.

If it's the correct answer, it'll move you to the next question.

If it's the incorrect answer then play goes back to Blue Paul.

Pressure Pad, is it Jeff Kinney?

It is not.

Really?

So play goes over to Blue Paul and his team.

All right, so, the question.

You are left with...

OK...team?

-T-shirts?

-Yeah.

T-shirts sounds most obscure

so try T-shirts.

OK, John, we're going to hope with fingers crossed that it's T-shirts.

-I'm going to choose T-shirts.

-OK.

Fingers crossed it's T-shirts.

If it is then you're on to the jackpot question.

If it isn't then Pink Paul will move to his final question.

Pressure Pad, is it T-shirts?

It is T-shirts.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Congratulations, Paul, you have beaten your opponents

and you are now getting the chance to play for the jackpot of £12,000.

However, Pink Paul, the answer to your question was Rick Riordan.

AUDIENCE GROAN

Exactly. A big round of applause for Pink Paul.

APPLAUSE

All right, Paul,

well done to 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.

Here are the two categories. They are...

-Are you going to confer?

-I certainly am going to confer.

-Your choice, Paul.

-Absolutely.

-Go for it.

-Yeah.

-Good luck.

Strictly Come Dancing.

Strictly Come Dancing.

I remind you now that you have to answer the question on your own.

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.

Once you stand on it, the answer will be locked in

so be careful with your choice.

OK, John, I have enjoyed watching Strictly Come Dancing over the years.

And obviously the answer is somebody who has

done pretty well to come second.

I'm pretty confident it wasn't Lulu.

I'm pretty confident it wasn't Mica Paris.

I'm pretty confident it wasn't Patsy Kensit.

I could be a little worried about Emma Bunton

and, with all due respect,

I don't think it was Vanessa Feltz.

I do remember Rachel Stevens being a brilliant dancer

and a lot of people thought she was the favourite to win.

So I'm going to stick my neck out

and go for Rachel Stevens.

That's my choice.

Rachel Stevens.

So, if this is right, you will have just won £12,000,

which you're going to donate to your charity.

If, however, it's wrong,

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

Pressure Pad...

HE EXHALES

..is this the right answer?

It's correct!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Congratulations. Well done.

How do you feel?

I feel absolutely brilliant.

My team have done a fantastic job in getting us here.

How confident were you?

I was swaying a bit between the last two but I did think it was her

so I'm just delighted. This just means so much to our charity.

Excellent. Well, we're glad that it's going to such a good cause.

You guys have made great teamwork together. Absolutely fantastic.

So, congratulations, Paul. You and your team 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's right. Goodbye, everybody.

£12,000! Hey!
