Episode 20 The Boss

APPLAUSE

Hello and welcome to The Boss,

the quiz show where being in control is everything.

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

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

Let's meet today's players.

APPLAUSE

Hiya, I'm Mel. I'm a community nurse from Nottingham.

I'm Ikenna, a personal assistant from East Dunbartonshire.

I'm Jo. I'm a paranormal investigator

and I'm from Hartlepool.

I'm Gary. I'm a retired civil servant

and I'm from Northern Ireland.

And I'm Hazel, a catering supplier from Cheltenham.

APPLAUSE

OK, the way the game works is simple.

Each of you has an equal chance to become the Boss

and being the Boss means you get to manage the workforce as best you can

to increase the prize fund.

But if anyone feels they can do better

and wants to knock the Boss out of the game,

they can launch a Leadership Challenge.

Only by surviving until the end of the show

can you walk away with the cash.

Think of it a bit like politics but without the sex scandals.

First, we need to find our first Boss of the show.

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

You'll face 90 seconds of quickfire questions.

The person who answers the most correctly

will have a very important decision to make.

Let's out who's first to rise to the top. Let's find out who's Boss.

APPLAUSE

Fingers on buzzers. Start the clock.

-Jo.

-Thames.

-Ikenna.

-Ethiopia.

-Ikenna.

-Norwich City.

-Mel.

-EastEnders.

-Ikenna.

-Terry Pratchett.

-Ikenna.

-A cockroach.

-Hazel.

-Cambridge.

-Ikenna.

-Bart Simpson.

-Gary.

-Eddie the Eagle.

HOOTER Easter Island.

-Ikenna.

-Barack Obama.

HOOTER

The answer was tin.

Well played. Very good round from all of you.

Let's take a look at the scores.

And I can tell you

that the winner of that round was Ikenna. Well done!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

By a country mile.

Storming round from you, Ikenna,

means you've proven yourself early on and you have a decision to make.

Do you want to be the first Boss today

or are you going to bide your time and promote someone else.

I've never seen anyone think so obviously in my life, Ikenna.

I can see it from here.

AUDIENCE SHOUTS

Do you want to be the first Boss or promote someone else?

I think it's quite a democratic decision here.

-I think I'll have to be the Boss now.

-You're going to be the Boss?

-Yeah, why not?

-Come and join me in the Boss's Office. Come on up.

APPLAUSE

Welcome, Ikenna.

You're today's first Boss

and to have the chance to take away the money,

all you have to do is still be here at the end of the show.

You'll now face your Boss's Questions.

The better you do, the more you could win.

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

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

A wrong answer, though, will see you move back down.

Play well and you could all be playing for £100 a question

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

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

APPLAUSE

Here's your first question.

I believe this is Lady Gaga.

Is it Lady Gaga?

It is, well done. Very well done.

You're up to £30 in the middle of the ladder. Let's get you up to £50.

Next question, please.

-He plays darts.

-Darts. Is the answer darts?

It is, well done. Brilliant, Ikenna.

You're up to £50 on the money ladder.

Let's get you up to £70 a question.

Next question, please.

-I think it's between English and Spanish.

-OK.

Which one are you going to go for?

You know what? I'm going to go for Spanish.

AUDIENCE GROANS

Spanish is your answer. Is that the correct answer?

HOOTER

It was English! Oh!

The audience as one, "Oh, no! We know all about the ICAO."

-It's OK, plenty of time.

-Thank you.

-You're at £30 on the money ladder.

Let's get you up to £50 next question.

Is it Alan Davies?

You're saying Alan Davies. Is that the right answer?

Yes, it is!

Right, this is your last question, Ikenna.

To get you up to £70 on the money ladder, let's see it.

-That's Balmoral.

-Balmoral. Is that the right answer?

It is the right answer. Well done, Ikenna. Well done.

APPLAUSE

ICAO.

You did well there and each question will now be worth £70, Ikenna,

so well done. Now, it's over to your staff.

Let's hope they don't let you down. Let's play your Team Questions.

APPLAUSE

OK, two minutes on the clock. Let's play.

-Gary.

-B, Thursday.

Next question.

-Gary.

-Neil Armstrong.

Right, Hazel.

Kate Moss.

Right, Gary, answer this one.

Mad guess. Scratchy Bottom.

Yes, it was! LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

Jo.

Sacha Baron Cohen.

Well done.

Gary.

Er, Esperanto.

Well done. Well done. Next question.

All right. Gary.

Blackpool.

Mel.

Saturn.

No, it was Jupiter. HOOTER

-Oh, out of time!

-That's the only one I got wrong.

-Wow!

How did you find that, Ikenna?

That was better than I thought it would be.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

I can tell you now, the player you went to most there was Gary,

but was that the right decision?

Who were the best players in that round?

Now, that's interesting

because Gary did very well,

but so did Mel and you went to Gary five times

and only Mel once.

-Mel...

-Yes.

-..do you think he should have come to you more often,

-given how well you did?

-Yeah, I'm a bit annoyed.

It's like boys against girls, isn't it?

-AUDIENCE:

-Ooh!

-Don't look at me.

Good, good, good.

-I'm glad we've started the show on such a friendly note.

-Nice to see.

Well, you were playing for £70 a question,

so if you'd had a perfect round, Ikenna,

you'd have added £560 to the prize fund.

In fact, you actually added £490 to the prize fund, which isn't bad.

It's not bad. APPLAUSE

Now we come to the hard part, though, Ikenna,

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

It's over to you. Have you got the courage to challenge Ikenna?

If so, you can now lock in a Leadership Challenge.

But remember, if no-one is brave enough,

Ikenna will be choosing two of you

to fight it out up here for survival.

If you dare to defy, challenge now.

Wow, my goodness.

OK, Ikenna, is there anyone you're concerned about challenging you?

I do feel that Mel could very well be the first person

to challenge me today.

Because she might be slightly annoyed

about the fact you ignored her.

-Yeah, that.

-Yeah, well, let's see if anyone has dared to take you on.

Oh, two of you!

Yes! APPLAUSE

-Mel is standing there going, "Not yet. Not yet."

-I'm biding my time.

Not yet. Jo and Hazel have both challenged you.

Now, Ikenna, you get the chance to choose

who you want to play to defend your position.

You can choose either Jo or Hazel.

Who is it you want to come up here to the Boss's Office?

-I will go with my gut and go with Hazel.

-Hazel.

-OK.

Hazel, you have been chosen.

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

APPLAUSE

-Hazel, you challenged first time round.

-Yes, I did.

Tell me why it is you decided to challenge Ikenna.

Well, if you don't have the courage of your convictions,

-you're not really going to get on in life.

-You're so right, Hazel.

So I decided to put my money where my mouth is and step up.

-That is so right. That is excellent.

-Oh, right.

-Fighting talk, Ikenna.

What can I say? You challenged me.

-Let's see what you've got.

-OK, right.

Oh, OK. Well, Ikenna and Hazel, to stay in the show,

you need to win this challenge.

You're going to see a series of puzzles.

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

Buzz in with an incorrect answer

and it gets passed over to your opponent.

It's best of three wins, loser goes home.

Your challenge game today is...

You're going to see two words.

You just need to tell me what word can go before one

and after the other. So, for example...

The words are "wall" and "back.

And the answer would be "paper".

Cos you can have wallpaper and a paperback.

So, we're looking for the words in the middle.

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

Buzz in if you know the answer.

-Ikenna.

-Table.

You're saying "table". Is that right?

Well done, Ikenna. Well done. APPLAUSE

Point to you, Ikenna.

Hazel, you need to get this one right to stay on the show.

Ikenna, if you get this right, you remain the Boss.

Let's see the next puzzle.

-Hazel.

-Land.

You're saying "land". Is that right?

It is right. My goodness.

APPLAUSE Here is a battle royal. One each.

Sudden death. Whoever gets the next one right,

is the winner of this challenge. Let's see your final puzzle.

-Hazel.

-Side.

You're saying "side". Is that right?

-It IS right, Hazel!

-Whoo!

Oh! APPLAUSE

-Phew.

-That was incredibly close.

Hazel, you have beaten the Boss

and you're going to take your place in the Boss's Office.

Ikenna, I am really, really, really, really sorry.

You've played a brilliant game but it's time for you to clock off.

Thank you very much, Ikenna. Well done.

APPLAUSE

-Hazel.

-Susan.

Well, you said you wanted to take control, no guts, not glory.

-Yeah, absolutely.

-And it worked out.

-It did.

Anyone out there who you think is a particular threat to you?

-Everyone is a threat.

-OK.

-AUDIENCE:

-Ooh.

-This is going to get interesting.

So, once again,

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

-OK.

You're going to face five Boss's Questions.

For every one you get right,

you move up one rung on the money ladder.

A wrong answer will see you move back down again.

This time, a good round can see you playing for £200 a question,

-which is a huge amount.

-Ooh.

A shocker means just £10 into the fund per correct answer.

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

-OK.

APPLAUSE

Here is your first question.

-Well, that's a classic.

-Yeah.

-Life Of Brian.

-Life Of Brian. Is that the correct answer?

Well done, Hazel. Well done.

You're on £30 on the money ladder.

Let's see if we can get you up to £50 a question.

Let's see the next question.

-I don't know how fair it is for me to answer this question.

-Why?

-Cos it's about a mile away from my house.

-Is it?

-It is, yes!

LAUGHTER These are all random questions.

-Absolutely.

-These are all random questions.

If the question was "Where in Glasgow do I live?",

I would know that answer as well. LAUGHTER

It's Gloucestershire. Cheltenham in Gloucestershire.

Gloucestershire is the county you're saying.

Wouldn't it be funny if this wasn't the right answer?

It would be hilarious, yeah!

After you said, "I live about a mile away from it."

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

Thank heavens it's the right answer, Hazel.

Yeah, they wouldn't let me home!

£50 on the money ladder. You're doing great.

Let's see if we can get you up to £100 a question.

-Gordon the Gopher.

-Is the answer gopher?

It is, well done, Hazel. Brilliantly done.

-I wasn't sure that was an actual animal.

-A gopher, yes.

He was lovely. I loved Gordon the Gopher. I loved Roland Rat as well.

AS ROLAND RAT: Yeah, Rat fans!

£200, top of the money ladder - let's get you there. Next question.

Oh, blimey.

-Yeah, we mix it up. Gophers, haiku.

-Yeah.

-It's the kind of show it is.

-This is a guess. I'm going to say five.

-You're going to say five.

Is five the right answer?

Oh, three.

-This is your last question.

-OK.

You can still get up to £100 per question, Hazel.

-Barcelona.

-Which architect?

-OK.

-OK?

-I don't know this one.

-OK.

-But I do know there is Gaudi...

-Uh-huh.

-..who's very famous in Barcelona.

-Is that your answer? Gaudi?

Yes, it better be. I haven't got a better one.

Gaudi - is that the answer?

-It is, well done, Hazel.

-Thank God for that.

-By hook or by crook.

-Yeah.

-APPLAUSE

-It's quite tough up here answering the Boss's Questions.

-It is, yeah.

You did really, really well though.

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

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

You've done your bit by setting

the value of the questions at £100 each.

-Yeah.

-Now, can they do theirs? Let's play your Team Questions.

APPLAUSE

OK, another two minutes on the clock. Let's play.

-Mel.

-Suspension.

Well done.

-Jo.

-Gillian Anderson.

No, it's Winona Ryder.

Gary.

Wuff.

-Mel.

-14.

Well done. Next question.

-Gary.

-Whitehall.

Well done, Gary.

-Gary.

-Basketball.

Jo.

Cornish pasty.

No, it was a meat pie!

LAUGHTER Next question.

-Mel.

-Chris de Burgh.

-Jo.

-Sense And Sensibility.

No, it was Mansfield Park.

HOOTER I was trying my best, Hazel.

Sorry about that. LAUGHTER

Taxi Driver was the answer to that one.

My goodness, my goodness.

-What an eclectic mix of questions.

-Yeah.

I will never forget Jo going, "It wasn't a Cornish pasty?"

LAUGHTER

-Do you think they did a good job for you, Hazel?

-Some better than others.

-Right.

-I don't know if I'd have done any better in their place,

-but I'm not in their place.

-Is anyone not pulling their weight?

LAUGHTER

Well, I can tell you now that you went to everybody equally

but was that the right thing to do?

Who were the best players in that round?

-AUDIENCE:

-Ooh!

-Well...

-Gary again, yeah.

-Mel and Gary again.

They're equally matched, aren't they?

You were playing for £100 a question,

so if you'd played a perfect round,

you would have added £900 to the prize fund.

In fact, you added...

-£500.

-Ooh!

-AUDIENCE:

-Ooh!

-It's not bad!

It's not bad but it's not great.

-I'm not going to get down about it though.

-Good.

-It's better than £100.

It IS better than £100.

-Let's look on the bright side.

-If only we could put that in a haiku.

LAUGHTER

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

-CHEEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Not bad. That's not bad.

And now we come to the hard part as, right now,

somebody is going to be leaving the show.

It's over to you, my shop workers.

LAUGHTER

Do you think that Hazel is a worthy Boss

or is it now time for you to take control?

If so, you can now lock in a Leadership Challenge.

But remember, if no-one is brave enough, Hazel will choose two of you

to fight it out for survival up here in the Boss's Office.

If you dare to defy, challenge now.

OK, Hazel, anyone you're nervous about turning round?

-I'm not nervous.

-No matter who it is?

-No.

Let's see if anyone wants to take you on.

Oh! APPLAUSE

-There she is.

-I'm here.

-There she is! Mel.

I know, I learnt from Ikenna.

I thought I'll give it a go with Hazel.

"I'll give it a go, no bother."

Cos you didn't challenge in the first round,

but you're challenging this time. You thought time to take control?

-Yeah.

-Game on! Mel wants to challenge Hazel to be the Boss.

Mel, come up and join me in the Boss's Office.

APPLAUSE

-So, Mel, you decided to challenge.

-Yeah.

Now you're up here in the Boss's Office, how does it feel?

-It feels good. I feel at home here.

-Do you?

-Yeah, yeah.

-AUDIENCE:

-Ooh!

I feel like I should do that. LAUGHTER

Hazel, you've been challenged by Mel. It's been brewing.

-She's been wanting to challenge for a while.

-Yeah, she has.

-Are you intimidated by Mel's presence up here?

-Not yet.

-Not yet.

OK, Hazel and Mel, you need to win this challenge

to keep your place on the show.

You're both going to play some puzzles.

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

Buzz in with an incorrect answer

and it's passed over to your opponent.

Best of three wins and the loser goes home.

Your challenge game is...

You're going to see three sums.

You just need to tell me which sum gives the highest answer.

Here's an example.

And the answer would be...

To save your place on the show, let's play Number Crunch.

Find the highest.

-Mel.

-8 x 9.

You're saying 8 x 9. Is that right?

It is. Well done, Mel. Well done.

APPLAUSE

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

Let's see the next puzzle.

Find the highest.

-Mel.

-18 divided by 3.

Is that right?

Oh, my word, it is right, Mel!

APPLAUSE

-Is maths one of your specialities?

-I do like maths, yeah.

Hazel, you have been an incredible contestant.

I'm sorry, but you're going home just now.

Mel, you get to take the place in the Boss's Office.

You have officially beaten the Boss. Thank you, Hazel, for joining us.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you very much.

APPLAUSE

-OK, Mel.

-Yes.

-You've seen two other bosses on the show, Ikenna and Hazel.

-Yeah.

Are you going to be a different kind of Boss to them?

-Well, hopefully, cos it didn't work for them, did it?

-That is true!

LAUGHTER

-So, basically, you're going to be a better Boss.

-Hopefully, yeah.

-Hopefully.

-Fingers crossed.

From spending time down there on the floor,

anyone there is a particular threat or ally to you?

-Um, I think they're all threats, to be honest.

-Yeah?

You're in this for yourself, aren't you?

-LAUGHTER

-That's it. Go for it.

I like it! You're in it for yourself! Yes, you are, Mel.

-Course you are.

-Let's do this!

OK, we need to see how high you can set the bar as the Boss.

You're going to face five Boss's Questions.

For every one you get right,

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

A wrong answer will see you move back down again.

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

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

-It's a massive amount of money. AUDIENCE:

-Ooh!

But a shocker will mean just £10 into the fund per correct answer.

Don't want that.

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

APPLAUSE

Here's your first question.

Oh, God. I've seen one episode.

-Oh, dear.

-Do you want to have a guess at it?

-Brad Pitt.

-Brad Pitt. LAUGHTER

I didn't say, "Who do you quite fancy?", but let's go Brad Pitt.

-Is that the right answer?

-No.

-No, Bryan Cranston.

-I would never have got that, no.

It's OK, loads of time. Let's get you up that money ladder.

Let's see the next question.

-Oh, is it the Thorpedo, with his big feet?

-I can't help you.

-Ah.

LAUGHTER "Is it that one? Is it that one?"

I do believe he's from the good old US of A.

You're saying the US of A. Is that right?

AUDIENCE GROANS

-Oh, no!

-No.

-Oh, God!

-Australia.

-I got that wrong, didn't I?

-It's all right. You're OK, Mel, you're OK.

-I'm OK.

You're absolutely OK. Don't listen to the audience judging you.

LAUGHTER

You can still get up that money ladder. Next question.

Alistair Darling, I don't know.

Is that your answer?

Yeah, that's all you're going to get.

-Alistair Darling - is that the right answer?

-Is he even a politician?

Alistair Darling was a Labour politician.

Oh, well, he was a politician.

From about a decade ago. LAUGHTER

Philip Hammond was the Chancellor of the Exchequer in July, 2016.

-This is OK. This is OK.

-It's not OK.

-Next question.

I should imagine it wasn't that long ago. Probably the 18th.

-You're saying the 18th century?

-Yeah.

-18th century. Is that right?

-Yes, it is!

-Yay!

-APPLAUSE

-Come on, Mel! Come on, Mel!

-Thank God!

-This is it, this is it!

-Oh!

-Last question, please.

-And you just went like that.

-Thank you, God!

-Is that OK?

-Destiny's Child.

-You just looked like you were going to walk off.

Destiny's Child. LAUGHTER

-Why weren't they all like that?

-Destiny's Child.

Is that the right answer?

-It is, Mel! Come on!

-Thank you!

-APPLAUSE

I've clawed it back.

It looked like it wasn't going to get there, but it got there.

-I know.

-It got there. Tough round.

-It was. It was awful.

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

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

You've been down there. This is your first time organising your team.

-Yeah.

-You going to be OK?

-Yeah, I'll have to be, won't I?

-You will.

You've done your bit by setting the value of the questions at £100 each.

Now they can do theirs. Let's play your Team Questions.

APPLAUSE

OK, another two minutes on the clock. Let's play.

-Gary.

-Drew Barrymore.

Next question.

-Jo.

-Pearl Jam.

No, Foo Fighters.

-Gary.

-Al forno.

-Gary.

-Hungary.

Yes, I am, thank you for asking. LAUGHTER

-Jo.

-Cheetah.

-Well done.

-I got one right!

-Next question.

-Gary.

-800m.

Well done. Next question.

-Jo.

-Mayonnaise.

-Gary.

-Simon Bolivar.

Yes, well done. Next question.

-Gary.

-Tartan Army.

Next question.

-Jo.

-Retina.

No, it's the iris. Next question.

HOOTER Oh, no!

The answer to that question was, of course, Magical Mystery Tour.

-Wow!

-Mm.

Well, I can tell you right now,

you went to Gary the most in that round,

but let's find out if that was the right thing to do.

Who was actually the best player?

-You've got five right in every single round, Jo.

-Yeah.

-I'm consistent, yeah.

-Consistently getting five right.

-Yeah.

Extraordinary.

Gary, you've been one of the most consistent players in the game

but you've also been quite quiet.

You've not challenged, you've not done anything.

-Are you just trying to keep a low profile down there?

-I'm outnumbered.

LAUGHTER

Ikenna's gone and I'm left on my own now.

Right, so you're saying you're frightened

of having more than one woman around you.

LAUGHTER

I speak when I'm spoken to and, apart from that,

I have to keep quiet because, as a man, we are trained.

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

-Oh, Gary, if only that was true!

-I know.

Well, you were playing

for £100 a question, Mel,

and if you'd had a perfect round,

you would have added £1,000 to the prize fund.

In fact, you actually added

£700 which is not bad.

-Not bad.

-That's not bad. APPLAUSE

The total prize fund now stands at £1,690, Mel. Well done.

-Oh.

-APPLAUSE

And now, we come to the hard part

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

It's over to you down there.

It's your last chance to challenge the Boss

and knock her out of the game.

But remember, if neither of you challenge,

the two of you are coming up here to fight it out for survival.

If you dare to defy...

..challenge now.

OK, Mel, they've both had the chance to contest your leadership.

Who would you be nervous about turning round?

Er, probably Gary a bit more than Jo.

-AUDIENCE:

-Ooh!

-He seems to have been a bit more consistent.

OK, well, let's see if either of them wants to take you on.

Yes, come on, Jo! Come on!

APPLAUSE

-Jo.

-Yeah.

-You've made your play.

-A-ha, move over!

Jo has dared to defy and wants to challenge you, Mel.

-Jo, come and join me in the Boss's Office.

-Good luck.

APPLAUSE

Mel, Jo.

She's not here long but, Jo, you've just gone, "Yep, let's do this."

-Let's just go for it.

-Let's just go for it.

-Mm-hmm.

-Do you think you're going to be able to beat her?

-Of course I am!

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-I love this confidence! It's amazing! "Yeah, sure, whatever."

To be fair, the way the show has run so far,

everyone that's been there, out the door.

-Yeah.

-LAUGHTER

Mel, it's up to you to see if you can stay in the Boss's Office.

-I'm trying to change history here.

-Absolutely.

Mel and Jo, you need to win this challenge to keep your place

on the show and take your spot in The Final.

Gary is already there by doing nothing...

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

..in the way that he has decided, tactically, to play the game.

You're both going to play some puzzles.

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

Buzz in with an incorrect answer

and it gets passed over to your opponent.

-Best of three wins, loser goes home.

-OK.

Your challenge game is...

I'm going to show you two pictures.

You just need to tell me what word connects the two.

Here's an example for you.

The answer to that is...

Of course. Ricky from EastEnders

and Ricky Gervais.

AS BIANCA: Ricky! Strike a light, guvnor.

So, you just need to find the word that connects the two.

To save your place on the show, let's play Connect Two.

What word connects these two pictures?

-Mel.

-Jacket.

Jacket. Is that right?

It is right.

Jacket potato and a jacket. APPLAUSE

Jo, you need to win this one to stay on the show.

Mel, if you get this right, you are in The Final with Gary.

Let's see your next puzzle.

What connects the two?

-Mel.

-Cliff.

You're saying cliff. Is that right?

-It's not. Jo?

-It's Rocky.

-Is that your answer?

-It's Rocky.

-Is the answer Rocky?

-Yes!

It is right, Jo. Well done.

APPLAUSE

One each. It is now a sudden death situation.

Whoever gets this next one right is in The Final with Gary.

My goodness, Jo, you look like you're start...

LAUGHTER

Jo, Mel, whoever gets this right is in The Final with Gary.

What word connects these two pictures?

-Mel.

-Web.

You're saying web. Is that right?

It is right, Mel. Well done.

-APPLAUSE

-Sorry, Jo.

I knew that.

Both of you battling those buzzers to within an inch of their lives.

Mel, you remain in the Boss's Office.

Jo, you have been beaten by the Boss.

You have been incredible, but it's time for you to clock off.

Thank you very much for coming, Jo. APPLAUSE

Mel and Gary, you two have fought off the competition

and made it through to The Final.

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

which currently stands at...

-AUDIENCE:

-Whoo!

-Nice! APPLAUSE

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

APPLAUSE

This round is all about teamwork.

You're going to face a final five puzzles

and will have 90 seconds to complete the board.

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

so that is £338.

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

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

means the category is lost forever.

Mel, as you are the Boss just now,

you have the decision of where to start.

-I think we'll just start at the top really.

-Food and Drink?

-Yeah.

-OK.

-Yeah.

-Both ready?

-Yeah.

-Go for it.

-OK. Start the clock.

Unscramble the words to find the names of two herbs.

-Mel.

-Coriander.

Gordon Bennett.

Er...

-You can pass if you want, Gary.

-Oh, parsley.

-Parsley. Well done.

-Next category. Music?

-Yeah.

-Music.

Name the band and the song.

# What do you think about that?

# Now you know how I feel... #

-Mel.

-Wannabe.

-Spice Girls.

-Well done. Excellent.

Next category down then is Language.

Name the language and the colour in English.

-Pass.

-Passing it. No problem at all.

Next category is Numbers.

Find the missing numbers.

-Mel.

-103 - 14.

-Correct.

-37.

Well done. Final category.

Final category, Film.

Name the actors who played Batman in film

immediately before and after George Clooney.

-Gary.

-Michael Keaton.

-No.

-I didn't know. That was the only one I knew.

-I was thinking Val Kilmer.

-Congratulations.

You've won £1,014, the two of you.

APPLAUSE

You got three puzzles right.

Let's see the puzzles that just tripped you up.

That is...

-German.

-And it's German.

-I'd have never got that.

-Yeah.

-It's come to you now.

-Yeah.

-And Batman before and after.

-Val Kilmer.

-Val Kilmer.

-Val Kilmer.

-Oh, yeah.

-Who's he?

-Christian Bale.

-Oh, right.

-Christian Bale.

-Yeah.

-No, I didn't know them.

-It's not over yet though,

cos you now both have one final decision to make.

You can decide to split the money

you both won today and that's £507 each,

or you can decide to play one final game

to find out who the ultimate Boss really is.

The winner of that game will walk away

with the whole prize fund today,

which is £1,014,

and the loser will leave with nothing.

You both now have five seconds to decide

if you want to make one final Leadership Challenge.

Press your buzzers now.

AUDIENCE SHOUT OUT

HOOTER

-Oh, neither of you pressed the buzzer!

-Yes!

-Well done.

-Thank you.

APPLAUSE

Ah, isn't that nice?

-Neither of you have made a play for the prize fund.

-No.

Why did you decide not to make a play for it, Mel?

Well, you came with nothing,

so if you go home with half of the winnings,

-it's nice for two people to win something.

-Gary?

When they were doing the challenges, I was rubbish at them.

LAUGHTER

So, I'd leave it to Mel to decide if she wanted to steal.

-Ah, what a nice fella.

-A gent.

-What a gentleman you are.

-You're welcome.

APPLAUSE

Well, congratulations. You both played a fantastic game

and you're both walking away with £507 each.

Well done to both of you. APPLAUSE

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

Join us again next time,

as we find out what it really takes to be the Boss.

See you then.

Well done to both of you. APPLAUSE
