Hello. I'm Susan Calman,

0:00:180:00:19

and welcome to The Boss, the quiz show where being number one

0:00:190:00:22

is everything, and nice guys finish last.

0:00:220:00:25

All of our players will be trying to work their way to the top

0:00:250:00:28

and get their hands on the thousands of pounds on offer today.

0:00:280:00:31

Let's meet today's players.

0:00:310:00:33

APPLAUSE

0:00:330:00:36

Hi, I'm Martin. I'm a journalism student from Preston.

0:00:360:00:39

I'm Jo. I'm an office manager from Liverpool.

0:00:390:00:42

I'm Talal, a bartender from Ealing.

0:00:420:00:44

I'm Gillian, a hairdresser from Bangor.

0:00:440:00:47

And I'm Paul, an inventory controller from Blackburn.

0:00:470:00:49

APPLAUSE

0:00:490:00:51

OK. The way the game works is simple.

0:00:510:00:55

Each of you has an equal chance to become the Boss, and being the Boss

0:00:550:00:58

means you get to manage the workforce as best you can

0:00:580:01:01

to increase the prize fund.

0:01:010:01:03

But if anyone feels they can do better and wants to knock the Boss

0:01:030:01:06

out of the game, they can launch a leadership challenge.

0:01:060:01:10

Only by surviving until the end of the show can you walk away

0:01:100:01:13

with the cash. It's a bit like the plot of a BBC costume drama.

0:01:130:01:18

I myself am wearing knickerbockers under here.

0:01:180:01:21

LAUGHTER It's very tight.

0:01:210:01:23

So, we need our first Boss on the show.

0:01:230:01:26

To decide who that is, we're going to see what you're made of.

0:01:260:01:29

You'll face 90 seconds of quickfire questions.

0:01:290:01:33

The person who answers the most correctly will have a very important

0:01:330:01:37

decision to make.

0:01:370:01:38

Let's find out who's Boss.

0:01:380:01:40

APPLAUSE

0:01:400:01:43

Fingers on buzzers.

0:01:470:01:49

Start the clock.

0:02:160:02:17

-Gillian?

0:02:220:02:24

0:02:240:02:25

-Paul.

-Wikipedia.

0:02:310:02:32

-Paul?

-Macbeth.

0:02:350:02:37

0:02:370:02:38

-Paul?

-Ireland.

0:02:450:02:47

Correct.

0:02:470:02:48

Gillian.

0:02:530:02:54

The Beach.

0:02:540:02:55

BUZZER Incorrect. It was The Great Gatsby.

0:02:550:02:57

-Jo?

-Sydney.

0:03:020:03:04

Correct.

0:03:040:03:05

The zloty.

0:03:090:03:11

BUZZER No, it's the rouble.

0:03:110:03:12

-Paul?

-Duchess.

0:03:170:03:19

Correct.

0:03:190:03:20

Oh!

0:03:200:03:22

Just out of time there.

0:03:220:03:24

Let's take a look at the scores.

0:03:240:03:26

I can tell you that the winner of that round was...

0:03:260:03:30

Paul. Well done, Paul. APPLAUSE

0:03:300:03:33

Very quick off your buzzers in that round, but Paul,

0:03:350:03:38

you won through, and that means you have proven yourself early on,

0:03:380:03:41

and have a decision to make.

0:03:410:03:43

Do you want to be the first Boss today, Paul,

0:03:430:03:46

or are you going to bide your time and promote somebody else?

0:03:460:03:50

-I will be the Boss.

-Well, Paul, you are today's first Boss.

0:03:500:03:54

Come and join me up in the Boss's office.

0:03:540:03:56

APPLAUSE

0:03:560:03:58

Paul, welcome to the Boss's office.

0:04:000:04:02

It's quite a good view down on the shop floor, isn't it?

0:04:020:04:05

Yeah, it's the place to be.

0:04:050:04:06

Now, tell me why did you decide to be Boss first of all

0:04:060:04:08

rather than promote someone else?

0:04:080:04:11

I like to be the master of my own destiny,

0:04:110:04:12

and I think I've got the measure of some of the people,

0:04:120:04:16

and I want to make sure they're in my control

0:04:160:04:18

throughout the whole game.

0:04:180:04:20

Ooh, Paul, I like this a lot!

0:04:200:04:22

LAUGHTER So, who down there do you think

0:04:220:04:24

is the biggest threat to you?

0:04:240:04:26

-Definitely Jo.

-Jo?

0:04:260:04:28

-Yep.

-Oh, Jo, you've been picked on early on, my word!

0:04:280:04:31

LAUGHTER Just remind me,

0:04:310:04:33

-what do you do in your job?

-I'm a material controller

0:04:330:04:36

for an aerospace company.

0:04:360:04:37

Right. I mean, I know what that is, but if people don't, what is that?

0:04:370:04:41

LAUGHTER

0:04:410:04:43

Basically, we make wings for various aircraft,

0:04:430:04:46

and I look after the pre-impregnated carbon that goes into those wings.

0:04:460:04:51

Now, I know what that is, of course, Paul, but...

0:04:510:04:53

LAUGHTER

0:04:530:04:54

-Do you think you're going to be a good boss today?

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

0:04:540:04:56

-Yeah, definitely.

-Oh, I love your confidence, Paul!

0:04:560:05:00

It's amazing. Is part of it trying to psych out the people down there,

0:05:000:05:03

-or is it all real?

-Not at all. It's all real.

-It's all real?

-Yeah.

0:05:030:05:05

-Confidence in my own ability.

-I can't see their faces as to whether they believe you or not.

0:05:050:05:09

LAUGHTER This is remarkable! You're today's first Boss, and to have the chance

0:05:090:05:12

to take away the money, all you need to do is be right here

0:05:120:05:15

at the end of the show. You will now face your Boss's Questions.

0:05:150:05:19

The better you do, the more you could win.

0:05:190:05:22

You'll have five to answer, and for every one you get right,

0:05:220:05:24

you move up one place on the money ladder.

0:05:240:05:26

A wrong answer will see you move back down.

0:05:260:05:29

Play well, and you could be playing for £100 per question.

0:05:290:05:33

But a tough round could see you playing for just £10.

0:05:330:05:36

Let's play your Boss's Questions.

0:05:360:05:38

APPLAUSE

0:05:380:05:41

Here's your first question.

0:05:420:05:43

There's a lot of female characters in that, isn't there?

0:05:520:05:54

It's going to have to be the lead.

0:05:540:05:56

I'll go with, erm...

0:05:560:05:58

-..Martine McCutcheon.

-Martine McCutcheon.

0:05:590:06:02

Is that right?

0:06:020:06:04

BUZZER No, it's Julia Roberts.

0:06:050:06:07

-Oh, Notting Hill!

-You're thinking of Love Actually.

-Yes, I was.

0:06:070:06:10

Julia Roberts is in Notting Hill.

0:06:100:06:11

It's OK. Let's see the next question.

0:06:110:06:13

Now, then...

0:06:170:06:18

I'm not very good. I should be, measuring out carbon.

0:06:200:06:23

-Well, you do make wings, and...

-Yes...

0:06:230:06:24

LAUGHTER

0:06:240:06:27

Erm...one foot.

0:06:270:06:28

-One foot is...

-I love the idea of you going, "About this big."

0:06:280:06:32

LAUGHTER

0:06:320:06:36

I'll go with 24.

0:06:370:06:38

24.

0:06:380:06:40

Is 24 the right answer?

0:06:400:06:42

BUZZER 36. Next question, please.

0:06:430:06:47

Next question.

0:06:470:06:48

There's two that spring to mind,

0:06:560:06:57

Monopoly and Scrabble. I will go with...

0:06:570:06:59

-I'll go with Scrabble.

-Scrabble, is that the right answer?

0:07:010:07:04

Scrabble?

0:07:040:07:05

It IS the right answer.

0:07:060:07:07

APPLAUSE Well done.

0:07:070:07:09

Let's see the next question.

0:07:110:07:13

-I actually think I know this one, at last.

-Yeah?

0:07:200:07:22

And it's not going to be a guess. I'll go with Craig David.

0:07:220:07:25

Craig David, is that the right answer?

0:07:250:07:27

It IS the right answer.

0:07:290:07:30

Well done. Well done.

0:07:300:07:32

£50 on the money ladder.

0:07:320:07:35

Last question. Let's see if we can get you up to £70.

0:07:350:07:39

If you don't get it right, though, you're back to 30.

0:07:390:07:41

Let's see your last question.

0:07:410:07:43

-Geography's not one of my strong points.

-Right.

-Palermo...

0:07:500:07:53

I will go with Corsica.

0:07:540:07:57

Corsica. Is Corsica the right answer?

0:07:570:07:59

BUZZER

0:08:010:08:02

Sicily. The other one.

0:08:020:08:05

-The other one.

-The other one.

0:08:050:08:06

-I only know two.

-Yeah.

-LAUGHTER

0:08:060:08:08

You've done your bit by setting the value of the questions at £30 each.

0:08:080:08:12

Now, can they do theirs?

0:08:120:08:14

Let's play your Team Questions.

0:08:140:08:17

APPLAUSE

0:08:170:08:20

Two minutes on the clock.

0:08:200:08:22

Let's play.

0:08:220:08:23

Jo.

0:08:300:08:31

Aubergine.

0:08:310:08:32

Correct.

0:08:320:08:33

-Gillian.

-Peggy Mitchell.

0:08:400:08:42

Correct.

0:08:420:08:43

-Jo.

-LAX.

0:08:510:08:53

Correct.

0:08:530:08:55

-Jo.

-Jamaican.

0:09:010:09:03

Correct.

0:09:030:09:04

-Gillian.

-Rihanna.

0:09:110:09:13

-Talal.

-Skin.

0:09:210:09:23

Correct.

0:09:230:09:24

-Jo.

-Punt.

0:09:310:09:32

Correct.

0:09:330:09:35

Jo.

0:09:400:09:41

King?

0:09:410:09:42

BUZZER Lion.

0:09:420:09:44

-Martin.

-Partick Thistle?

0:09:520:09:54

Correct.

0:09:540:09:55

-Jo.

-Peru?

0:10:020:10:03

BUZZER Chile.

0:10:030:10:05

-Talal.

-Panettone.

0:10:140:10:16

Correct answer. Well done.

0:10:160:10:18

-ALARM WAILS

-Jo!

-I tried my best!

0:10:230:10:25

LAUGHTER

0:10:250:10:29

I tried my best.

0:10:290:10:32

The answer to that one was of course Lee Harvey Oswald.

0:10:320:10:35

Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald.

0:10:350:10:38

Pretty good round there. Do you think your workers did a good job

0:10:380:10:40

-for you?

-Very well, yeah.

0:10:400:10:41

You went to Jo most of all during that round.

0:10:410:10:44

Quite certain, "Jo. Jo."

0:10:440:10:47

But was that the right thing to do?

0:10:470:10:48

Who were the best players?

0:10:480:10:49

Let's have a look at the scores in that round.

0:10:490:10:51

Oh!

0:10:530:10:55

-Oh, my.

-I did go to Gillian a couple of times, as well.

0:10:550:10:58

You did. But we asked 11 questions, and Gillian got ten of them right.

0:10:580:11:03

-Gillian?

-Yes.

0:11:040:11:05

-He went to you twice...

-Yep.

-..and Jo six times.

0:11:050:11:09

Yep, should've went to me more!

0:11:090:11:11

LAUGHTER

0:11:110:11:13

Are you a bit annoyed?

0:11:130:11:14

No. He undervalued me, and he didn't realise.

0:11:140:11:17

-It's terrible when the Boss...

-It'll never happen again.

0:11:170:11:19

-It'll never happen again!

-It'll never happen again!

0:11:190:11:22

And Talal, he went to you twice.

0:11:220:11:23

Do you think you've got a bit of a point to prove?

0:11:230:11:26

-Yeah, always.

-Always?

0:11:260:11:27

My whole life is proving one big point.

0:11:270:11:30

LAUGHTER That's a lovely way

0:11:300:11:31

of thinking about it.

0:11:310:11:32

Well, you were playing for £30 a question,

0:11:320:11:35

so if we'd had a perfect round,

0:11:350:11:36

you would've added £330 to the prize fund.

0:11:360:11:41

In fact, you actually added £270 to the prize fund.

0:11:410:11:46

APPLAUSE

0:11:460:11:48

Of course, if you'd used Gillian more often,

0:11:480:11:51

that would be a higher amount, Paul.

0:11:510:11:53

-Mm-hmm.

-I'm not rubbing in, I'm doing your workplace evaluation.

0:11:530:11:57

But now we come to the hard part, as right now, somebody is going to be

0:11:570:12:01

leaving the show.

0:12:010:12:02

Do you think Paul's good enough to be the Boss,

0:12:060:12:09

or is it now time for you to take control?

0:12:090:12:11

Remember, you never get the big bucks down there on the shop floor,

0:12:110:12:15

do you? It's us up here in the office with our massage chairs

0:12:150:12:18

and custard creams, we're the ones that have the money.

0:12:180:12:21

If you dare to defy...

0:12:210:12:22

..challenge now.

0:12:240:12:26

AUDIENCE SHOUTS

0:12:280:12:31

OK, Paul. Everyone's had a chance to challenge.

0:12:350:12:38

Do you think anyone's going to be brave enough?

0:12:380:12:40

-No, they shouldn't be.

-LAUGHTER

0:12:400:12:43

You are a confident fellow, Paul,

0:12:430:12:45

I'm enjoying this very much!

0:12:450:12:47

Well, let's see if anyone has dared to take you on.

0:12:470:12:51

Oh!

0:12:530:12:54

APPLAUSE

0:12:540:12:57

-Game on.

-There he is. "Game on," says Paul.

0:13:000:13:04

Why did you decide to challenge at this point in the game, Talal?

0:13:040:13:07

At first I was scared of Paul,

0:13:070:13:08

but after seeing the points in that last round,

0:13:080:13:11

I think I've got harder competition down here, so...

0:13:110:13:13

At first you were afraid, you were petrified?

0:13:130:13:16

-LAUGHTER

-That's right.

0:13:160:13:18

Talal, come up and join me in the Boss's office.

0:13:180:13:21

APPLAUSE

0:13:210:13:23

Wow. Paul, you have been challenged by Talal.

0:13:250:13:28

Is that a surprise?

0:13:280:13:30

Not with the reasons he gave, no.

0:13:300:13:31

I could totally understand where he's coming from, cos there are

0:13:310:13:34

some strong players down there. I just think he's underestimated me

0:13:340:13:37

a little bit too much.

0:13:370:13:38

Am I?

0:13:380:13:40

Should I ask any questions or just merely step back at this point?

0:13:400:13:43

-LAUGHTER

-Well, on the money ladder...

0:13:430:13:45

-Yeah?

-..I was doing the answers in my head,

0:13:450:13:47

-and I would've got more cash for us per question.

-Oh, OK.

0:13:470:13:51

Well, unfortunately you weren't quick enough on the buzzer

0:13:510:13:53

-to get up here in the first place.

-No.

-All right, boys!

0:13:530:13:55

All right, boys. All right, boys, I'm not built to be a bouncer,

0:13:550:13:59

I'll be very honest with you.

0:13:590:14:01

Well, Paul and Talal, to stay in the show,

0:14:010:14:03

you need to win this challenge.

0:14:030:14:04

You're going to see a series of puzzles.

0:14:040:14:06

Buzz in with the correct answer, and you win a point.

0:14:060:14:09

Buzz in with an incorrect answer,

0:14:090:14:10

and it gets passed over to your opponent.

0:14:100:14:12

Best of three wins, and the loser goes home.

0:14:120:14:16

Your challenge game today is...

0:14:160:14:19

If the keyword was fabrics,

0:14:210:14:23

could you find brick, birds or scarf in it?

0:14:230:14:26

You could of course find scarf.

0:14:260:14:29

To save your place on the show, here's your first question.

0:14:290:14:33

Which of the following words can be found in...

0:14:340:14:37

-Paul.

-Pure.

0:14:410:14:42

You're saying pure. Is that right?

0:14:420:14:44

It is right. Well done, Paul. APPLAUSE

0:14:450:14:47

A point to you, Paul. Talal, you need to get this right to stay on

0:14:500:14:52

the show. If you get this right, Paul, you remain the Boss.

0:14:520:14:56

Which of the following words can be found in...

0:14:560:14:58

-Paul?

-Robes.

0:15:030:15:05

Robes?

0:15:050:15:06

It is right, Paul. APPLAUSE

0:15:080:15:09

Well done.

0:15:090:15:10

-Argh!

-He's quick!

-He's quick.

0:15:130:15:16

He's quick on the buzzer.

0:15:160:15:17

-Lightning fingers.

-Lightning fingers.

0:15:170:15:19

That means, Paul, you remain in the Boss's office. I'm afraid, Talal,

0:15:190:15:22

you've been beaten by the Boss. It's time for you to clock off.

0:15:220:15:25

It's been lovely having you. See you later on, Talal.

0:15:250:15:28

-Thank you.

-Well done. APPLAUSE

0:15:280:15:30

Well, you disposed of that threat to your leadership

0:15:350:15:39

fairly quickly, Paul.

0:15:390:15:40

Hopefully that'll send a message to the rest of the contestants.

0:15:400:15:42

LAUGHTER

0:15:420:15:43

Is that sending, erm...? Is it?

0:15:430:15:45

Oh. I'm enjoying... I cannot see Gillian's face.

0:15:450:15:50

LAUGHTER But I really wish I could,

0:15:500:15:54

I'll be honest with you.

0:15:540:15:55

Once again we need to see how high you can set the bar as the Boss.

0:15:550:15:59

Again you'll face five Boss's Questions.

0:15:590:16:01

For every one you get right, you'll move up one on the money ladder.

0:16:010:16:04

A wrong answer will mean you move back down.

0:16:040:16:07

This time a good round could see you playing for £200 a question.

0:16:070:16:11

It's a lot of money. But a shocker will mean playing for just £10

0:16:110:16:15

into the fund per correct answer.

0:16:150:16:18

Let's see how much of a Boss you are with your Boss's Questions.

0:16:180:16:22

APPLAUSE

0:16:220:16:24

Here's your first question.

0:16:250:16:27

Oh. I read something like this the other day,

0:16:340:16:36

and I can't for the life of me think. Come on, think, Paul.

0:16:360:16:39

It begins with S.

0:16:390:16:40

I'm sure it begins with S, and I just can't think of it.

0:16:400:16:42

-Pass.

-BUZZER

0:16:420:16:45

-Bubble and squeak.

-Oh, I was going to say that!

0:16:450:16:47

-LAUGHTER

-Sorry.

0:16:470:16:49

I was going to say that.

0:16:490:16:50

That's so easy!

0:16:500:16:51

Next question, please.

0:16:520:16:54

Obviously, I'm a huge fan of Justin Bieber.

0:16:590:17:01

-Aren't we all?

-Yeah.

0:17:010:17:02

Just because...

0:17:020:17:04

of the type of the question,

0:17:040:17:07

I always think it's either Canada or Australia,

0:17:070:17:10

-so I'm going to say Canada.

-You're going to say Canada.

-Yeah.

0:17:100:17:12

It seems like everyone's born in Canada

0:17:120:17:14

-if they're not born in America.

-OK. Well, I was born in Scotland,

0:17:140:17:16

but, I mean, you know, it's fine. LAUGHTER

0:17:160:17:19

You're saying Canada. Is that the right answer?

0:17:190:17:21

It IS the right answer. APPLAUSE

0:17:220:17:24

Well done, Paul. Well done.

0:17:240:17:26

Now we're motoring. Let's get you up to £50 on the money ladder.

0:17:260:17:28

Get this right, you're up to £50.

0:17:280:17:30

Get it wrong, you're back down to £10.

0:17:300:17:32

Next question.

0:17:320:17:33

Klutz with a TZ makes me think it's...

0:17:390:17:42

erm, German.

0:17:420:17:45

-I will say German.

-German.

0:17:460:17:47

Is that the right answer, German?

0:17:470:17:49

BUZZER Yiddish.

0:17:490:17:52

Come on. Let's get you up to £30 on the money ladder.

0:17:520:17:54

Let's get you up there. Next question, please.

0:17:540:17:56

Seeing as I work with carbon...

0:18:010:18:03

-Yes?

-I should know that graphite is carbon.

0:18:030:18:05

-Yes?

-So I will say carbon.

0:18:050:18:09

LAUGHTER

0:18:090:18:10

Carbon?

0:18:100:18:12

-Yes.

-It IS the right answer.

0:18:120:18:13

APPLAUSE Well done.

0:18:130:18:16

Last question coming up.

0:18:180:18:20

The only thing that's coming into my head, and it's not a reality

0:18:260:18:29

programme, is Antiques Roadshow for some reason.

0:18:290:18:32

Do you know, cos it's dance, I will go with Strictly Come Dancing.

0:18:320:18:35

Strictly Come Dancing.

0:18:350:18:36

Is that the right answer?

0:18:360:18:38

BUZZER No.

0:18:380:18:40

Oh, my word!

0:18:400:18:42

It was The Apprentice.

0:18:420:18:43

HE HUMS "DANCE OF THE KNIGHTS" You gave me a fright!

0:18:430:18:46

Honestly, Paul. Suddenly, "Oh, God! No!"

0:18:460:18:48

LAUGHTER I worry about your heart.

0:18:480:18:51

Tough round, Paul!

0:18:510:18:53

-Good luck, everybody.

-The Boss's Questions are sometimes

0:18:530:18:55

catching you out a little bit. Is it nerves?

0:18:550:18:58

I think there's a bit of nerves, but I feel the pressure

0:18:580:19:01

of trying to get the money for everybody and not just myself.

0:19:010:19:03

-Did you know a lot of those questions?

-Yeah.

0:19:030:19:06

Martin's not nodding his head.

0:19:060:19:08

I did get The Apprentice one, to be honest.

0:19:080:19:10

Yeah, Martin's keeping a poker face.

0:19:100:19:12

Let's hope your team don't let you down.

0:19:120:19:14

You've done your bit by setting the value of the questions at £10 each.

0:19:140:19:17

Let's play your Team Questions.

0:19:170:19:20

APPLAUSE

0:19:200:19:23

OK, another two minutes on the clock.

0:19:250:19:27

Let's play.

0:19:270:19:28

-Jo.

-Arctic.

0:19:340:19:36

Correct.

0:19:360:19:37

-Gillian.

-Nellie.

0:19:450:19:47

Correct.

0:19:470:19:48

-Gillian.

-Sneezing.

0:19:540:19:56

Correct.

0:19:560:19:57

-Jo.

-Octopus.

0:20:050:20:07

Correct.

0:20:070:20:08

-Martin.

-The Hateful Eight.

0:20:150:20:18

Correct.

0:20:180:20:19

-Gillian.

-A turkey.

0:20:250:20:26

Correct.

0:20:270:20:29

-Jo.

-Coventry.

0:20:350:20:37

Correct.

0:20:370:20:38

-Gillian.

-Craig Cash.

0:20:460:20:48

Correct.

0:20:480:20:49

-Martin.

-Omelette.

0:20:560:20:57

-Jo.

-Norway?

0:21:060:21:08

Correct.

0:21:080:21:09

-Martin.

-David Beckham?

0:21:170:21:18

-Jo.

-ALARM WAILS

0:21:250:21:27

I'm so sorry, I have to read out the options.

0:21:270:21:30

The answer to that one was Poland.

0:21:300:21:34

That was a pretty cracking round from your team.

0:21:340:21:38

Yeah. It's a shame they weren't playing for £200 a question, really.

0:21:380:21:41

Yes. You went to Jo and Gillian the most.

0:21:410:21:45

But was that the best decision?

0:21:450:21:49

AUDIENCE MURMURS

0:21:490:21:51

Now, Martin, he's come right up.

0:21:510:21:53

Eight points. He only went to you three times, though, Martin.

0:21:530:21:57

I think he knows my strengths, kind of thing.

0:21:570:21:59

The film question, sport...

0:21:590:22:01

So I thought on that round, he actually did a good job.

0:22:010:22:04

Yeah. He really did.

0:22:040:22:05

He got the right people for the right questions.

0:22:050:22:07

-Jo?

-I think that was a better round for us, yes.

0:22:070:22:09

Yes. You were playing for £10 a question, though.

0:22:090:22:12

-LAUGHTER

-OK, Susan!

0:22:120:22:14

If we'd played a perfect round, you would've added £110

0:22:140:22:18

to the prize fund. In fact, you actually added...

0:22:180:22:21

..£110 to the prize fund.

0:22:230:22:25

APPLAUSE It was a perfect round!

0:22:250:22:27

That means the total prize fund now stands at £380.

0:22:290:22:34

Well done, team. Well done. APPLAUSE

0:22:340:22:37

But now we come to the hard part, as right now, somebody is going

0:22:370:22:42

to be leaving the show.

0:22:420:22:44

It's over to you.

0:22:480:22:49

Do you think Paul is a worthy Boss?

0:22:490:22:52

Or is it now time for you to take control?

0:22:520:22:55

If you dare to defy...

0:22:550:22:56

..challenge now.

0:22:570:22:59

AUDIENCE SHOUTS

0:23:010:23:03

Do you think you're going to get any challenges from the floor?

0:23:090:23:11

Based on my general knowledge, probably yes.

0:23:110:23:15

But they saw what I did to Talal, so hopefully not.

0:23:150:23:18

-LAUGHTER

-Ooh!

0:23:180:23:20

Anyone you particularly fear turning round?

0:23:200:23:23

-Yeah, Gillian.

-Gillian.

0:23:230:23:25

Well, let's see if anyone wants to take you on.

0:23:260:23:29

Oh! APPLAUSE

0:23:310:23:34

-It's double trouble, Paul.

-Double trouble.

0:23:380:23:40

I had so much respect for them, as well.

0:23:400:23:42

THEY LAUGH

0:23:420:23:44

I'm sorry, Paul. You're fab, but £10 a round, it's...it's... No.

0:23:440:23:47

-Just no.

-Jo?

0:23:470:23:49

Let's just say either of us would've done better.

0:23:490:23:51

-Martin would've done better.

-Talal would've done better, and he's gone.

0:23:510:23:54

-Yeah!

-LAUGHTER

0:23:540:23:56

Now, Paul, because you've got two challengers,

0:23:560:24:00

you now get the chance to choose who you want to play

0:24:000:24:02

to defend your position. Gillian or Jo?

0:24:020:24:07

Well, I always said that I'd have to face the biggest fear straight away,

0:24:070:24:12

so it's going to have to be Gillian.

0:24:120:24:14

Ooh!

0:24:140:24:15

Gillian, apparently you are his greatest fear.

0:24:150:24:18

-LAUGHTER

-And at this moment in time,

0:24:180:24:20

he's mine!

0:24:200:24:21

Please come and join me in the Boss's office.

0:24:210:24:23

APPLAUSE

0:24:230:24:25

Gillian, you've decided to challenge Paul.

0:24:270:24:30

He has proven himself to be very good in these challenge games.

0:24:300:24:33

Very good in them. I'm very nervous.

0:24:330:24:35

He's very, very quick on the buzzer.

0:24:350:24:36

Yes. Do you think you can do it again, Paul?

0:24:360:24:38

-Yes.

-Paul and Gillian,

0:24:380:24:39

you need to win this challenge to keep your place on the show.

0:24:390:24:42

You're both going to play some puzzles.

0:24:420:24:44

Buzz in with the correct answer, and you'll win a point.

0:24:440:24:46

Buzz in with an incorrect answer,

0:24:460:24:48

and it gets passed over to your opponent.

0:24:480:24:50

Best of three wins.

0:24:500:24:51

Loser goes home.

0:24:510:24:54

Your challenge game is...

0:24:540:24:56

I'm going to show you a sequence.

0:24:580:25:00

You just need to tell me what's missing.

0:25:000:25:02

Here's an example for you.

0:25:020:25:03

The answer would be...

0:25:070:25:08

We're going up, of course, in increments of 12.

0:25:100:25:13

To save your place in the show, let's play Missing Link.

0:25:130:25:17

Let's see your first puzzle.

0:25:170:25:19

What's missing? Gillian?

0:25:200:25:21

236.

0:25:220:25:24

BUZZER It's not. Paul?

0:25:240:25:26

238.

0:25:270:25:30

Is that right?

0:25:300:25:32

It IS right. Well done. Well done. APPLAUSE

0:25:320:25:34

Paul, you've got a point.

0:25:360:25:37

If you get this right, you remain the Boss.

0:25:370:25:39

-Gillian, you need to get this right to stay on the show.

-OK.

0:25:390:25:42

Next puzzle.

0:25:420:25:43

-Paul?

-196.

0:25:480:25:50

It IS right, Paul. Well done!

0:25:510:25:53

APPLAUSE It's going down by 54 each time.

0:25:530:25:58

Ah, well.

0:25:580:25:59

Gillian, you challenged, you took your destiny in your own hands.

0:25:590:26:02

-I did.

-There's something about this man and that buzzer

0:26:020:26:05

which means he is answering quickly and getting everything right.

0:26:050:26:08

Paul, you remain in the Boss's office.

0:26:080:26:11

Gillian, I'm afraid you have been beaten by the Boss.

0:26:110:26:13

-It's time for you to clock off.

-Thank you.

0:26:130:26:15

Thank you for joining us, though, Gillian.

0:26:150:26:16

APPLAUSE

0:26:160:26:18

Paul, everyone keeps challenging you,

0:26:240:26:27

you keep beating them!

0:26:270:26:29

OK. Once again we need to see how high you can set the bar

0:26:290:26:33

as the Boss. Again, you'll face five Boss's Questions.

0:26:330:26:36

For every one you get right,

0:26:360:26:37

you'll move up one place on the money ladder.

0:26:370:26:39

Get it wrong and you move back down.

0:26:390:26:41

It's your last chance to prove yourself as Boss.

0:26:410:26:44

A good round could see you playing for £300 a question, Paul.

0:26:440:26:49

That's a lot of money. Let's see how much of a boss you are

0:26:490:26:52

with your Boss's Questions.

0:26:520:26:54

APPLAUSE

0:26:540:26:56

Here's your first question.

0:26:570:26:59

(Yes!) It's my era, that.

0:27:060:27:09

I used to watch it every week.

0:27:090:27:10

-OK.

-It's Byker Grove.

0:27:100:27:13

Byker Grove. Is that the right answer?

0:27:130:27:15

It IS the right answer. APPLAUSE

0:27:160:27:18

Well done. £50 on the money ladder.

0:27:180:27:20

Next question.

0:27:200:27:21

Now, then. I think he won it as well last year.

0:27:290:27:33

I think he might've won it two years on the trot.

0:27:330:27:36

-It's Mark Selby.

-Mark Selby, is that the right answer?

0:27:360:27:39

APPLAUSE It IS the right answer.

0:27:410:27:42

Well done, Paul. Next question, please.

0:27:420:27:44

I dreaded this kind of question to come up.

0:27:490:27:51

I don't know whether the Tudors were before the Stuarts

0:27:510:27:54

or after the Stuarts.

0:27:540:27:56

I'm going to say...

0:27:560:27:58

James I.

0:27:580:27:59

You're saying James I. Is that the correct answer?

0:27:590:28:03

-Oh, my word!

-It IS the right answer, Paul!

0:28:030:28:05

HE LAUGHS

0:28:050:28:06

I'll tell you what, that's the biggest guess of my life!

0:28:060:28:09

I had no idea of that at all!

0:28:090:28:11

I had no idea of that at all.

0:28:110:28:13

You have untapped history knowledge somewhere in there, Paul.

0:28:130:28:16

Somewhere in there. You are at £150 on the money ladder.

0:28:160:28:19

Let's get you up to £300.

0:28:190:28:21

Next question.

0:28:210:28:22

The obvious answer is going to be...

0:28:290:28:31

She's American. I was going to say Elizabeth, but she's American.

0:28:310:28:34

Because of the L after her name, I might say Eloise.

0:28:340:28:38

I'm going to say Emma.

0:28:380:28:40

Emma?

0:28:400:28:41

LAUGHTER

0:28:410:28:43

Is that the right answer?

0:28:430:28:44

BUZZER

0:28:440:28:46

Erika. Last question.

0:28:460:28:48

We can still get you up to £150, but if you get this wrong,

0:28:480:28:51

you're back down to £50.

0:28:510:28:53

Last question, please.

0:28:530:28:54

It's one of two, isn't it?

0:29:010:29:03

It's got to be one of two. It can't be Maplins, cos that's Hi-de-Hi.

0:29:030:29:07

Yes, that is true. And an electrical store.

0:29:070:29:11

But I will say Butlins.

0:29:110:29:13

-Butlins?

-Yes.

0:29:130:29:16

-Sorry.

-No. I was going to hold your hand through this.

0:29:160:29:19

It's fine. I feel like I should do this.

0:29:190:29:22

You seem nervous. You're saying Butlins.

0:29:220:29:24

Is that the right answer?

0:29:240:29:26

-It IS the right answer, Paul!

-Yes!

0:29:260:29:28

APPLAUSE

0:29:280:29:31

I feel like I've justified myself being here.

0:29:310:29:34

Much better round.

0:29:340:29:36

Let's hope your team don't let you down in your team game.

0:29:360:29:39

The better you manage them, the more you can earn.

0:29:390:29:42

You have done your bit by setting the value of the questions

0:29:420:29:45

at £150 each. Now, can they do theirs?

0:29:450:29:48

Let's play your team question.

0:29:480:29:50

APPLAUSE

0:29:500:29:55

-Jo.

-Mike Myers.

0:30:020:30:04

Correct.

0:30:040:30:06

-Jo.

-1997.

0:30:120:30:14

Correct.

0:30:140:30:16

-Jo.

-Play well.

0:30:230:30:25

Correct.

0:30:250:30:27

-Martin.

-Fiji.

0:30:330:30:35

Correct.

0:30:350:30:37

-Martin.

-Geordie Shore.

0:30:460:30:48

Correct.

0:30:480:30:50

-Martin.

-30 Seconds to Mars.

0:30:570:31:00

Correct answer.

0:31:000:31:01

-Jo.

-Edinburgh.

0:31:070:31:09

BUZZER It's Dundee.

0:31:090:31:11

-Jo.

-Switzerland.

0:31:180:31:19

Correct.

0:31:190:31:20

-Jo.

-Tomato.

0:31:280:31:30

Correct.

0:31:300:31:31

-Jo.

-Shoulder.

0:31:360:31:38

Correct.

0:31:380:31:40

-Jo.

-Detroit, Michigan.

0:31:460:31:49

BUZZER No, it's Cleveland, Ohio.

0:31:490:31:51

-Jo.

-Rum.

0:31:540:31:56

BUZZER Oh, it was brandy!

0:31:560:31:58

Almost got in at the end there.

0:31:580:32:02

A good round from your team.

0:32:020:32:03

A very good round, yeah.

0:32:030:32:04

I possibly didn't use Martin as much as I should have done.

0:32:040:32:07

Well, we'll find out. The person you went to most

0:32:070:32:09

in that round was Jo. Was that the right thing to do?

0:32:090:32:12

Oh!

0:32:140:32:15

I was right.

0:32:170:32:19

Martin, it's like you were tap dancing down there saying,

0:32:190:32:22

"Play me, play me, play me!"

0:32:220:32:24

And he's not coming to you.

0:32:240:32:25

Do you think there's a reason for that, Martin?

0:32:250:32:27

I think he respects Jo.

0:32:270:32:29

He's given her the opportunity,

0:32:290:32:31

but I think I'm a stronger player than Jo.

0:32:310:32:33

Prove it! Take him on!

0:32:340:32:37

They're challenging each other, this is good!

0:32:370:32:39

You were playing for £150 a question,

0:32:390:32:41

so if we'd played a perfect round,

0:32:410:32:43

you would have added £1,800 to the prize fund.

0:32:430:32:46

In fact, you actually added £1,350 to the prize fund.

0:32:460:32:51

Well done!

0:32:510:32:52

APPLAUSE

0:32:520:32:53

And that means the total prize fund now stands at £1,730.

0:32:530:32:58

That's better. That's better.

0:32:580:33:01

Now we come to the hard part.

0:33:030:33:05

Cos right now, somebody is going to be leaving the show.

0:33:050:33:09

It's over to you down there.

0:33:120:33:13

Jo's already been pushing you, Martin.

0:33:130:33:16

This is your last chance to challenge the Boss,

0:33:170:33:19

and knock him out of the game.

0:33:190:33:21

If you dare to defy...

0:33:210:33:22

..challenge now.

0:33:230:33:25

AUDIENCE SHOUTS

0:33:270:33:29

Paul, they both had the chance to challenge.

0:33:340:33:36

-Do you think any of them have done it?

-No.

0:33:360:33:38

They've seen me fast on the buzzer,

0:33:380:33:40

so I don't think they'll want to play me.

0:33:400:33:41

-I think they'll want to play each other.

-Right.

-Yeah.

-Sure?

-Yeah.

0:33:410:33:44

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Let's see.

0:33:440:33:46

LAUGHTER

0:33:460:33:47

No!

0:33:540:33:56

It was your turn, honeybun.

0:33:560:33:58

Neither of them want to take you on,

0:33:580:34:01

and that means Martin and Jo must fight it out against each other.

0:34:010:34:06

The winner goes through to the final, but the loser goes home.

0:34:060:34:09

Paul, you may now recline in the reception area of the offices,

0:34:090:34:14

where I've laid on some lovely marshmallow sweets for you.

0:34:140:34:18

I hope you enjoy them.

0:34:180:34:19

Martin and Jo, please come up to the Boss's office.

0:34:190:34:22

Paul's theory is that you wanted to play each other, and not him.

0:34:250:34:29

Paul hit the nail on the head, to be honest.

0:34:290:34:31

I think Jo is more beatable than he is, and we'll see what happens.

0:34:310:34:34

OK!

0:34:340:34:36

I got more questions right in two of the last rounds,

0:34:360:34:39

so I thought I could beat Jo.

0:34:390:34:41

Right, OK. You're both going to play some puzzles.

0:34:410:34:43

Buzz in with the correct answer, and you win a point.

0:34:430:34:46

buzz in with an incorrect answer,

0:34:460:34:47

and it gets passed over to your opponent.

0:34:470:34:49

The best of three wins, and the loser goes home.

0:34:490:34:52

Your challenge game is...

0:34:520:34:54

You will see a keyword,

0:34:570:34:58

and each letter has a different coloured box associated with it.

0:34:580:35:02

You'll then see some new coloured boxes, and you need to match

0:35:020:35:05

the colours to the letters in the keyword to give me the answer.

0:35:050:35:08

Here is an example.

0:35:080:35:10

The keyword is Darling,

0:35:100:35:11

and then you have got pink, yellow, blue and orange,

0:35:110:35:14

which would make the word Grid.

0:35:140:35:18

To save your place on the show, let's play Colour Coded.

0:35:180:35:21

Your keyword is...

0:35:210:35:23

Here are your colours.

0:35:260:35:28

-Edit.

-Is that right?

0:35:320:35:34

It IS right, well done, Jo.

0:35:350:35:37

Well done.

0:35:370:35:38

APPLAUSE

0:35:380:35:40

Jo, you have a point. Martin, you need to get this right

0:35:400:35:42

to stay on the show. Let's see your next keyword.

0:35:420:35:45

Here are your colours.

0:35:490:35:50

-Martin.

-Ants.

0:35:540:35:56

It is the right answer, well done.

0:35:570:35:59

APPLAUSE

0:35:590:36:02

It is a sudden death situation.

0:36:040:36:05

Whoever gets the next puzzle right goes through to the final.

0:36:050:36:09

Let's see your keyword.

0:36:090:36:10

Here are your colours.

0:36:130:36:14

-Martin.

-Nice.

0:36:190:36:20

Nice?

0:36:200:36:22

Is that right?

0:36:220:36:24

Oh, it IS right, Martin.

0:36:240:36:26

Well done!

0:36:260:36:27

APPLAUSE

0:36:270:36:29

-Sorry.

-No, it's fine!

0:36:290:36:31

Martin, you win that round, and are going through to the final.

0:36:330:36:37

Jo, I'm afraid you're going home, it's time for you clock off.

0:36:370:36:40

Great game, though, thank you for coming, Jo.

0:36:400:36:42

Thank you very much.

0:36:420:36:43

APPLAUSE

0:36:430:36:45

Congratulations, Paul and Martin.

0:36:490:36:51

You two have fought off the competition

0:36:510:36:53

and made it through to the final.

0:36:530:36:55

This is where you get to play for the prize fund,

0:36:550:36:57

which currently stands at £1,730.

0:36:570:37:02

That's a great prize fund.

0:37:020:37:03

There's been a little bit of niggling between the two of you,

0:37:050:37:09

but now you're facing each other in the Boss's office, does it feel OK?

0:37:090:37:12

Yes, I don't think I had any niggle back from Martin,

0:37:120:37:14

he was very magnanimous in everything I've said about him.

0:37:140:37:17

-Yeah.

-Lancashire boys stick together.

0:37:170:37:19

-Exactly.

-Oh, I see.

0:37:190:37:20

It's like that.

0:37:200:37:22

Well, best of luck to both of you as we play The Final.

0:37:220:37:26

This round is all about teamwork.

0:37:310:37:32

You'll face a final five puzzles,

0:37:320:37:34

and will have 90 seconds to complete the board.

0:37:340:37:37

Each puzzle is worth an equal share of the prize fund today,

0:37:440:37:47

so that is £346 each game.

0:37:470:37:50

Every puzzle you play requires two answers, one from each of you.

0:37:500:37:54

When each game starts, one of you must buzz in

0:37:540:37:56

to give one of the answers and leave your team-mate to give the other.

0:37:560:37:59

But be careful, as a wrong answer or a pass from either of you

0:37:590:38:03

means that category is lost forever.

0:38:030:38:05

Paul, as you are the boss, you have the decision of where to start.

0:38:050:38:08

-Television.

-Both ready?

0:38:080:38:10

Start the clock.

0:38:110:38:12

Name the two characters

0:38:120:38:14

from the TV show Friends in the crossword.

0:38:140:38:17

-Paul.

-Phoebe.

0:38:170:38:19

-Joey.

-Correct.

0:38:210:38:22

Next category, please, Paul.

0:38:220:38:24

0:38:260:38:28

# You do it to yourself, you do

0:38:280:38:32

# And that's what really hurts

0:38:320:38:34

# Is you do it to yourself... #

0:38:340:38:36

Pass.

0:38:360:38:38

Next category, please, Paul.

0:38:390:38:41

-People.

-People.

0:38:410:38:43

Give me the full name of the two sisters in the picture.

0:38:430:38:46

-Martin.

-Venus Williams.

0:38:490:38:51

Correct.

-Next category.

-Numbers.

0:39:090:39:11

-Correct.

-Four.

0:39:110:39:12

Correct. Last category.

0:39:120:39:15

-Fashion.

-Fashion.

0:39:150:39:16

Unscramble the letters to name the two items of clothing.

0:39:160:39:21

Waistcoat.

0:39:250:39:27

Correct.

0:39:270:39:28

Pass.

0:39:410:39:42

ALARM WAILS

0:39:420:39:44

Oh! My word!

0:39:440:39:46

Right down to the wire there.

0:39:460:39:49

Paul and Martin, you have won £1,038,

0:39:490:39:54

Well done.

0:39:540:39:56

It's a great total.

0:39:560:39:59

You completed three puzzles, so you take away that £1,038.

0:39:590:40:04

Let's look at what tripped you up there.

0:40:040:40:06

The band was Radiohead,

0:40:060:40:08

and the song was Just.

0:40:080:40:10

The next category was Fashion.

0:40:100:40:13

Waistcoat was correct.

0:40:130:40:15

And "Underages" makes...

0:40:150:40:17

..Dungarees. I've got loads of pairs!

0:40:180:40:21

LAUGHTER

0:40:210:40:22

-I don't, you see.

-Loads.

0:40:220:40:24

I've got dress dungarees, I've got party dungarees,

0:40:240:40:27

I've got casual dungarees.

0:40:270:40:29

Well, it's not over yet.

0:40:290:40:32

You now both have one final decision to make.

0:40:320:40:35

You can decide to split the money you've both won today,

0:40:350:40:37

and that is £519 each.

0:40:370:40:41

Or you can decide to play one final game to find out

0:40:410:40:46

who the ultimate Boss really is.

0:40:460:40:47

The winner of that game will walk away

0:40:470:40:49

with the whole prize fund today - that's £1,038.

0:40:490:40:52

The loser leaves with nothing.

0:40:520:40:55

You both now have five seconds to decide if you want to make

0:40:570:41:00

one final leadership challenge.

0:41:000:41:02

Press your buzzers now.

0:41:020:41:04

ALARM WAILS

0:41:040:41:05

Oh!

0:41:050:41:07

It hadn't even got down below five.

0:41:110:41:13

-Paul.

-I thought about it.

0:41:140:41:17

Yeah?

0:41:170:41:18

For a millisecond.

0:41:180:41:21

I'm going to try and go for all of it.

0:41:210:41:23

What happened to "Lancashire lads stick together," Martin?

0:41:230:41:26

LAUGHTER

0:41:260:41:27

-Would you have challenged?

-I was probably going to leave it.

0:41:270:41:30

But at the same time, now that he has challenged,

0:41:300:41:32

-it doesn't bother me. I think it's a fair game.

-OK.

0:41:320:41:35

OK, well, it all hangs on this.

0:41:350:41:38

It's sudden death, winner takes all.

0:41:380:41:40

Your final challenge game today is Colour Coded.

0:41:400:41:44

You need to buzz in

0:41:440:41:45

as soon as you think you know what we're looking for.

0:41:450:41:48

First to buzz in and give me the correct answer

0:41:480:41:50

walks away with that prize fund of £1,038.

0:41:500:41:55

Wrong guess, the puzzle gets passed over to your opponent.

0:41:550:41:58

Ready?

0:41:580:42:00

Here we go.

0:42:010:42:02

Your keyword is Empathy.

0:42:040:42:06

Here are your colours.

0:42:080:42:09

Paul.

0:42:120:42:13

-Tape.

-Tape.

0:42:130:42:16

Is that right?

0:42:160:42:18

It IS right, Paul!

0:42:180:42:20

APPLAUSE

0:42:200:42:21

Do you know what, Paul?

0:42:270:42:29

You have played what could be considered

0:42:290:42:31

the perfect game of The Boss.

0:42:310:42:32

You arrived up here, you fought off the challenges,

0:42:320:42:36

you decided to play for the money, and you've won.

0:42:360:42:40

He was an incredible opponent, wasn't he, Martin?

0:42:400:42:42

Very quick on the buzzer.

0:42:420:42:44

His buzzer skills are ridiculous.

0:42:440:42:47

The kids would say they were "ridic."

0:42:470:42:49

LAUGHTER

0:42:490:42:51

Or something like that.

0:42:510:42:53

Martin, you played a great game, but, Paul,

0:42:530:42:55

you are today's winner, and you take away that prize fund

0:42:550:42:58

of £1,038, Paul, well done.

0:42:580:43:02

APPLAUSE

0:43:020:43:04

Martin, you played a great game and came so far,

0:43:050:43:08

but I'm afraid you have in every way been beaten by the Boss.

0:43:080:43:13

But well played, Martin. Well played today.

0:43:130:43:15

All that's left for me to say is thanks for watching.

0:43:150:43:18

Join us again next time as we find out what it really takes

0:43:180:43:21

to be the Boss. See you then!

0:43:210:43:24
