Episode 7 The Boss

Hello, and welcome to The Boss,

the show where being in charge is the name of the game.

Our players will all be trying to become The Boss,

and get their hands on the prize fund today.

Let's meet today's players.

APPLAUSE

I'm Sarah, a psychiatric nurse from Dorset.

I'm Alan, a civil servant from Barnsley.

I'm Jane, a retired police officer from Newton Abbot.

I'm Shaun, I'm a supermarket manager from the Rhondda.

And I'm Kamaria, a dancer from London.

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.

It's a bit like an episode of Dynasty.

All intrigue and deception, but without the shoulder pads.

So we need our first Boss on 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 find out who's first to rise to the top.

Let's find out who's Boss.

APPLAUSE

Fingers on buzzers.

Start the clock.

HOOTER

Oh, just out of time there.

My goodness. What a ding-dong battle

we had down there in the first round.

Let's take a look at the scores.

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

It was Shaun. It was Shaun.

It was going to be Shaun, wasn't it?

Well done.

APPLAUSE

A spirited battle from other members

of the team down there

but my goodness, Shaun,

at one point I thought we were just having a conversation.

LAUGHTER

Shaun, 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'm going to chicken out and bide my time and promote Sarah, please.

Oh!

Can I ask you, Shaun, why you've decided to promote Sarah?

I think Sarah looks like she's got a bit of authority about her.

-Right.

-Quite serious and stern and she's quite tall so...

I'll be honest, Sarah just looks a little bit angry right now.

LAUGHTER

OK, Sarah, you've been chosen as today's first Boss.

Come and join me up in The Boss's Office.

Come on up, Sarah, come on up.

APPLAUSE

-Hi, Sarah.

-Hello.

-It wasn't me that chose you, Sarah.

Now, you've been chosen.

I know! I was feeling a bit cross about it.

-Yes?

-Well, Shaun...

He answers all the questions so he could have got the most money.

Well, tactically, this may be a huge mistake for Shaun.

Just remind me, what do you do in your job?

I'm a psychiatric nurse.

Are you used to bossing people around?

Not patients, maybe staff.

Staff, absolutely.

No, you're very caring towards staff, of course.

-No, of course I am!

-Of course you are.

OK. That's your workforce down there.

I'm going to ask you a question, Sarah.

Has anyone annoyed you so far?

Shaun's picked me.

Shaun, my goodness, what a surprise!

Do you think he's a threat to you, though, Sarah?

I think he's a huge threat, and Jane, sorry, Jane,

but she's a bit of a slacker, isn't she?

Ho-ho-ho-ho!

Oh, I love this show already.

This is one of those ones

where I want to sit with a cape and go...

Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Sarah, you are today's first Boss,

and to have the chance to take away the money,

all you have to do, Sarah, is be right here at the end of the show.

-OK.

-You'll now face your Boss's Questions.

The better you do, the more money you could win.

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

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

Get one wrong, and you move down one place.

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

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

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

APPLAUSE

-OK?

-Yeah.

Here is your first question.

OK, he's quite a cute little kid, and his name is Prince George.

Is that the correct answer?

It is, well done, Sarah.

A question right.

-A question right.

-£30.

Up to £30 on the money ladder.

Get the next one right, you're up to £50.

Get it wrong, and it will be £10.

OK, so the only musician I can think of

which has got a song called Born To Run

is Bruce Springsteen

so I could just imagine that he would have called his autobiography

after one of his songs,

so I'm going to say Bruce Springsteen.

-Bruce Springsteen?

-Yeah.

It is. Perfect logic, Sarah.

Perfect logic. Perfect logic.

Up to £50 on the money ladder.

Next question, please.

I haven't actually read her book and...

I thought she was in...

Where was she? I thought she was in Poland...

Where was the... Where was the flat she was...

No, it's in Amsterdam so...

But that's not in Germany.

So I'm just going to have to completely guess this one and say...

-Berlin.

-Berlin?

-No, Frankfurt.

-Frankfurt!

-Oh, no.

-Frankfurt. They ended up hiding in Amsterdam...

-Yeah.

-..in the attic.

She was born in Frankfurt.

It's OK. Let's get back up to £50 on the money ladder.

Next question.

OK, I'm going to actually have to say it out loud because...

Hickory dickory dock, the mouse ran up the clock,

the clock struck one - one -

the mouse ran down, hickory dickory dock.

Yeah, I'm going to say one.

It is! Well done.

Well done.

Well done. Let's see that last question.

Oh, for goodness' sakes,

I haven't got a clue.

Classic to me means 1940s so...

Unless it's Die Another Day...

Why would I...? "After all, tomorrow is another day."

Oh, I don't want to go down to £30.

-Gone With The Wind.

-Gone With The Wind.

-No.

-Yes! It is!

No way!

Yes!

Absolutely classic line.

Rhett Butler has gone...

I'll do it for you and see if you recognise it now.

AS SCARLETT: "After all, tomorrow is another day."

LAUGHTER

APPLAUSE

Bang on the money.

Now, we've seen how you are as a Boss,

and each question will now be worth £70,

Sarah, well done, brilliantly done.

APPLAUSE

Now it's over to your staff.

You've done your bit by setting the value of the questions at £70 each.

Now can they do theirs?

Let's play your Team Questions.

APPLAUSE

OK, two minutes on the clock.

Let's play.

-Shaun.

-Vietnam.

Correct.

-Shaun.

-Skin.

Correct.

-Alan.

-C, Benedict Cumberbatch.

Correct.

-Shaun.

-Judo.

No. Sumo.

-Alan.

-Tread.

Correct.

-Jane.

-Profiterole.

No, it's tiramisu.

-Alan.

-Spike Milligan.

Correct.

-Kamaria.

-A, Ron Howard.

Correct.

-Shaun.

-Pac-Man.

Correct.

-Shaun.

-Blue.

Correct answer.

I'm not going to get that one out for you, I'm really sorry.

Alexander Graham Bell publicly demonstrated his telephone in 1876.

How do you think

your workforce did, Sarah?

I think they did very well

but that was due to The Boss picking fabulous...

LAUGHTER

OK!

Anybody letting you down on the shop floor, there, Sarah?

My slacker, Jane...

-let me down.

-My goodness!

I'm not sure what's going to happen in this show,

but I have a first aid kit standing by.

I can tell you, Sarah, that in that round you went most to Shaun.

Which was surprising, given the history that the two of you have.

But was that the right thing to do?

Who were the best players in that round?

Let's have a look at the scores.

Shaun was the best player.

But Alan wasn't far behind

and you only went to Alan three times in that round.

Are you feeling slightly neglected, Alan?

No, not really, I'm happy to just duck and dive.

-Duck and dive.

-Jane got six right.

I'm feeling a bit guilty now.

For calling her a slacker?

-Yeah.

-Do you want to apologise?

Oh, Jane, I'm sorry, but the food one let you down.

-Jane.

-Too late, sorry, it's too late.

My God, it's cut-throat, it's cut-throat!

It's amazing! Well, you were playing for £70 a question.

If we'd had a perfect round,

you would have added £700 to the prize fund,

but you only added £560 to the prize fund.

-It's not bad!

-It's not bad.

APPLAUSE

But 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.

Do you think Sarah's good enough to be The Boss?

Or is it now time for you to take control.

Have you got the courage?

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

but remember if none of you do that, if you are not brave enough,

she will choose two of you to come up here

and fight it out for survival anyway.

If you dare to defy...

..challenge now.

Sarah, everyone has had a chance to challenge you.

Do you think anyone's going to challenge you?

-Yes.

-Who?

I think Shaun is going to challenge me.

You think Shaun's going to challenge you?

-Yeah.

-After putting you here he's going to come right back at you?

Yeah, yeah, I think he was testing my mettle...

-Right.

-..and I think he's going to come back at me

and that's the tactics.

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

Oh, it's Jane.

-Oh, no!

-Jane.

Jane, I'm sorry.

Jane, why have you challenged Sarah at this point in the show?

I've got to do, haven't I? I've got to redeem my reputation.

You know, she's dissed me,

so I've got to get up there and sort her out!

It is game on.

Jane, come and join me in The Boss's Office.

Come on up, Jane.

APPLAUSE

-How are you feeling, Jane?

-Yeah, I'm feeling fine, looking forward to it.

-Bring it on.

-To redeem her reputation, Sarah,

how are you feeling about playing Jane at this point?

Slightly fearful, I've had the evil look at me so I'm...

She's a lovely lady.

She's a lovely lady. Don't mess with her.

She's a lovely lady.

Really lovely. Well, Sarah and Jane,

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.

Best of three wins.

Loser goes home.

-OK.

-Your challenge game today is...

I'm going to show you a sequence.

You just need to tell me what's missing.

So here's an example for you.

The missing link there would be...

..57 because we're going up by 19 every time.

To save your place on the show...

here is your first question.

What's missing?

-Sarah.

-1,432.

Is that right?

It is right, Sarah.

It is right. Well done.

APPLAUSE

It's going up by seven each time in the sequence.

Sarah, you have a point.

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

If you get this right, Sarah, you stay as Boss.

Let's see our next puzzle.

What is missing?

-Sarah.

-P.

P? Is that right?

It is right, Sarah, well done.

Because we are going...

up by three letters every time, so P was the missing link.

Brilliant game, Jane, but, Sarah, you remain in The Boss's Office.

Jane, you have been beaten by The Boss.

It's time for you to clock off.

Thanks for coming, Jane,

Thank you very much indeed.

APPLAUSE

You've seen off the lovely, lovely Jane.

This is what you're left with.

Are you happy?

So once again, we need to see how high

you can set the bar as The Boss.

Again, 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.

Get it wrong, and you move back down one.

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

A lot of money. A shocker of a round

could see you playing for just £10 per correct answer.

Let's see how much of a Boss you are

with your Boss's Questions.

APPLAUSE

Here is your first question.

I know this. They sang... Oh, no!

Guy Garvey is in...

No.

I need to pass.

Let's find out.

-Elbow!

-Elbow.

Oh...

I'm not meaning to rub it in your face.

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

Next question, please.

2013.

Well... I think it's Andy Murray,

but the thing is I thought that might have been...

No, it's got to be, it's Andy Murray.

-Yes!

-Oh, and I forgot the sir.

-Sir Andy Murray.

-Sir Andy Murray.

My future husband.

Sir Andy Murray. Absolutely right.

You're up to £30 on the money ladder.

Let's get you up to £50.

Get this wrong, though, and you're back down to ten.

No... It's not coming to me.

God, this is like the Elbow question.

Nostradamus.

-Nostradamus.

-He wasn't an astronomer, he was...

That's your answer, I think I have to take it.

Is it Nostradamus?

It's not.

-Oh, Galileo.

-Galileo.

Figaro.

You will not let me go.

Beelzebub.

We could go on all day. Come on, let's get up the money ladder.

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

Next question.

Well, I absolutely know this

because I watched this on TV last night.

-Great.

-So it's Lancaster and York.

Well done.

APPLAUSE

Last question. Let's see it.

Well, I grew up in Guildford,

and that's where Lewis Carroll was from

so it's Alice In Wonderland.

Alice In Wonderland.

Is it Alice In Wonderland?

Of course it is, well done, Sarah.

Well done.

-Not as good...

-Bit more of a tricky round, there.

You've done your bit by setting the value of the questions at £50 each.

Now can they do theirs?

Let's play your Team Questions.

APPLAUSE

OK, another two minutes on the clock.

Let's play.

-Alan.

-Six.

Correct.

-Kamaria.

-Tinie Tempah.

No, it was Plan B.

-Shaun.

-Go.

Correct.

-Kamaria.

-Canaries.

Correct.

-Alan.

-Robot Wars.

Correct.

Kamaria.

KT Tunstall.

No, it was PJ Harvey.

-Kamaria!

-Come on!

Indiana.

Correct.

-Shaun.

-MySpace.

No, it was Vine.

-Alan.

-Tower of London.

Correct.

Alan.

-Sorry, Alan.

-Rocky Marciano.

That's the correct answer, well done.

HOOTER ..I can't get it out!

The answer is Atonement.

Well done, though, Sarah, well done. APPLAUSE

How did that go for you this time, Sarah?

Well, I think it showed some of the weaknesses in the team

and who the next slacker is, really.

Oh, gosh, who is it? AUDIENCE GASPS

-I can't wait to find out. Who was that?

-Sorry, Kamaria, but...

-OK.

My goodness! Well, I can tell you in that round

you went to Alan and Kamaria the most.

But was that the right thing to do?

Who were the best players?

Let's look at the scores.

Mm.

There were a couple of American questions there

that I thought Kamaria might be able to answer.

Right. Well, you were playing for £50 a question so if we'd played

a perfect round you would have added £500 to the prize fund.

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

which means the total prize fund is £910.

Not bad! Not bad.

But 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.

Do you think Sarah's a worthy Boss?

Or is it now time for you to take control?

If you dare to defy...

..challenge now.

SHOUTING FROM THE AUDIENCE

-Do you think anyone's going to challenge you?

-Yep.

-Who?

-I think Kamaria and Shaun are going to.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-You always think Shaun's going to.

-I know, I know,

-because he put me up here.

-You're waiting for it.

You're waiting for him to attack. And I don't...

He seems implacable and he's not moved in about half-an-hour.

Are you worried if Kamaria turns around?

Er...no!

LAUGHTER AND GASPS

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

Oh, it is!

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

Right. OK.

This is good.

OK. It's game on.

Kamaria wants to challenge you.

Why have you decided to challenge at this point in the show, Kamaria?

She called me a slacker! And I got that American question right.

It was Indiana.

Kamaria, come and join me in The Boss's Office, come on up, Kamaria.

APPLAUSE

Sarah, every time you call someone a slacker, they challenge you.

Have you thought about maybe not calling people slackers?

-Yes. I'm starting to think that way, now.

-Starting to think that way!

It might be too late!

-Kamaria, you've decided to challenge.

-Yes.

-You're ready to take Sarah on for her position?

-Yeah. Let's do this.

Do you think you could have done better at her

-on The Boss's Questions?

-Yeah!

-I like the confidence.

-Really?

-Yeah, I do.

Well, Sarah and Kamaria, you need to win this challenge

to keep your place on the show.

You're both going to play some puzzles.

Buzz in with a correct answer and you get a point.

Buzz in with an incorrect answer

and it gets passed over to your opponent.

Best of three wins. Loser goes home.

Your challenge game is...

I'm going to show you a category and a sequence of pictures.

Just put them together to make the person, place, or thing

we're looking for. Here's an example for you.

It's a TV show.

And that would of course be...

..Emmerdale.

You have Emma Bunton and some dales.

-OK!

-OK.

Well, this could take a while.

Maybe!

LAUGHTER

Probably.

To save your place on the show, let's play Picture This.

It's a meal.

-Kamaria?

-Shepherd's pie.

Incorrect. Sarah, do you have an answer?

Cottage pie.

That is the correct answer, well done.

You were nearly there, Kamaria.

I knew it was pie!

Next puzzle.

It's an actress.

-Sarah?

-Goldie Hawn.

Is it Goldie Hawn?

It is Goldie Hawn.

You've got the rapper Goldie and a French horn.

Making Goldie Hawn.

My goodness, what a game that was.

Just slightly wrong with the pie.

-Yeah.

-You knew it was a pie of some kind.

-Yeah, it's cool.

-Kamaria, you've been beaten by The Boss.

It's time for you to clock off.

-Lovely to have you on the show, Kamaria.

-Thank you.

APPLAUSE

-It's quite exhausting...

-It is!

-..being in control, isn't it?

-I feel completely exhausted!

-Do you?

I feel like all the responsibility's on me.

-That's what happens!

-And I'm doing all the work!

-I know!

LAUGHTER

And they're doing...well,

I mean, nothing. Look at them! They're just...

Standing there!

-..standing there doing nothing.

-Mm.

Well, once again we need to see

how high you can set the bar as the Boss.

Again, you're going to face five Boss's Questions.

For every one you get right,

you move up one place on the money ladder.

Get it wrong, though, you move back down again.

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

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

-OK.

-That could really affect the prize fund.

Tough round, though, so you're playing for just £10

per correct answer into the fund.

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

APPLAUSE

Here is your first question.

I think it was... Well, it wasn't...

Oh, no! I'm thinking of the Foreign Secretary

which was Boris Johnson.

Who was the Home Secretary?

It's all changed, nobody knows who's doing what any more.

It's like watching Newsnight!

LAUGHTER

Well, I'll say Boris Johnson and then she might have made him

Foreign Secretary after that, who knows?

Boris Johnson, is that the right answer?

-No, it was Amber Rudd.

-Ah, no.

Thus speaks a voter. Er... Nah!

Right. Come on. Next question.

Well, that one's quite easy.

It's got the Manx cat so it's the Isle of Man.

Absolutely it is.

APPLAUSE

£50 on the money ladder.

Get the next one right and you're up to £100.

Get it wrong, back down to ten. Next question.

What? I've never seen a singer with a wig covering her face.

Oh, Sarah, we could have so many good nights out together!

LAUGHTER

"What? That just sounds stupid, how can you see anything?"

That does sound completely ridiculous.

So let's pick a ridiculous person.

-Although the songs are quite good, er, Lady Gaga.

-Lady Gaga.

-It's Sia.

-I have never heard of Sia.

She's got the fringe over her face.

-Never heard of her.

-Never heard of her?

Right, let's get you up to £50 on the money ladder. Next question.

Oh, well, Istanbul is Turkey, so it's going to be Turkish delight.

-It is Turkish delight, well done.

-Hurray.

APPLAUSE

This is your last question, OK? You could get up to £100.

But if you get this wrong it's back down to ten, Sarah,

this is a really important question for you, OK?

Let's see that last question.

Well, it's a very long-running musical

and nobody actually thought Hugh or Anne would carry it off

because there's quite a bit of singing

so it's Les Miserables.

It is the right answer! Well done.

APPLAUSE

Right. Sarah,

you've done your bit by setting the value of the questions

at £100 each.

Now, can they do theirs?

Let's play your Team Questions.

APPLAUSE

OK, another two minutes on the clock.

Let's play.

-Alan.

-Foreigner.

Correct.

-Alan.

-Mount Etna.

Correct.

-Shaun.

-Black Mirror.

Correct.

-Alan.

-20.

Correct.

-Shaun.

-Shadows?

Correct.

Alan.

Elm?

No, it was Poplar.

-Shaun.

-Ludo.

Correct.

Alan.

American football.

No, it was basketball.

Alan.

Finch.

No, it was a Warbler.

-Shaun.

-The Joshua Tree?

Correct.

-Shaun.

-Pedalo.

No! It was jet ski!

HOOTER

Ah! We don't have time for any more. My goodness!

-Sarah...

-Not a very good round for any of us.

My goodness! It feels like you need to go away together to a cabin

or something and bond as a team together, it really does.

You went to Alan most in that round, but was that the right thing to do?

Who was the best player?

Shaun. But I have to say,

no-one covered themselves in glory in that round, did they?

-Alan?

-My guardian angel wasn't looking over me. Sorry.

And Shaun, are you just getting a bit complacent down there

-because no-one's talking to you?

-Yeah.

I think it's time to move on up, I think.

-Oh!

-AUDIENCE GASPS

Ha! Well, you were playing for £100 a question,

so if you'd played a perfect round you would have added £1,100

to the prize fund.

In fact you actually added £700 to the prize fund

so the total prize fund now is £1,610.

-APPLAUSE Not bad.

-Not bad.

-Not bad.

But now we come to the hard part

as, right now. somebody is leaving the show.

It's over to you.

It's your last chance to challenge The Boss

and knock her out of the game.

But remember if neither of you challenge,

Sarah goes through to The Final and you two fight it out for survival.

If you dare to defy...

..challenge now.

SHOUTING FROM THE AUDIENCE

OK, Sarah, they both had the chance to challenge you.

Do you think anyone's going to have the guts to do it?

Yes, I think they both will, actually.

Because Shaun was talking a good game, wasn't he?

-He was going to "move on up".

-Yeah.

Let's see if either of them wants you take you on.

No! Oh!

-Oh, my God!

-Shaun! Shaun!

"I'm going to move on up" by staying right here and doing nothing at all.

I thought Alan was going to press.

No, you can't... For goodness' sake!

I thought Shaun were going to press!

"I thought he was going to do it." "I thought he was going to do it."

Neither of you did it, you chickens!

LAUGHTER

Well, the good thing is, Sarah, nobody's challenged you.

That means you're straight through to The Final, Sarah.

Yay!

APPLAUSE

I have worked the hardest.

-You have worked very hard.

-Yeah.

And what it means is that Alan and Shaun must now fight it out

against each other.

The winner goes through to The Final but the loser will be going home.

Sarah, you may now recline in a small area

I've put aside for you in the break-out section.

-There's some cheesy biscuits. Enjoy them.

-Thank you.

You can go and recline over there.

Alan and Shaun,

please come up to The Boss's Office, the two of you.

APPLAUSE

Sarah's played a great game

and has guaranteed herself a place in The Final.

But who will join her? Shaun, nice to see you.

-Yeah, hi.

-Hi. HE LAUGHS

What was going on over there with all the...?

-Really comfortable down there, you know?

-Is it?

-Yeah.

I thought Sarah was doing a great job so I didn't want to disturb her

-and I thought Alan was going to turn but he never did.

-Yeah.

Alan, he thought you were going to turn.

-I thought he was going to turn.

-OK.

-I thought, if I hold off...

-Aha?

-..he will have pressed, so...

He even did an arm thing where he took his arm...

He did a kind of a distracting thing, but he didn't do it!

-Good bluff.

-Because neither of you did it,

you're both here in The Boss's Office.

Alan and Shaun, you need to win this challenge to keep your place

on the show and take your spot in The Final with Sarah.

You're both going to play some puzzles.

Buzz in with the correct answer, you get a point.

Buzz in with an incorrect answer

and it gets passed over to your opponent.

-Best of three wins.

-Yeah.

-Loser goes home.

Your challenge game is...

You're going to see two words.

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

and after the other.

Here's an example.

If we had

throw and gammon, the answer would be

back, because you can have a throwback and backgammon.

To save your place on the show, let's play Common Word.

Here are your two words. What have they got in common?

Alan?

Nope.

-Shaun?

-Worm.

You're saying worm. Is that right?

It is right, well done.

A bookworm and a wormhole is something you can have as well.

Let's see the next puzzle.

What's in common?

-Shaun?

-Master.

You're saying master. Is that right?

It is right, well done.

Taskmaster, mastermind.

Absolutely correct.

Alan, you were just too slow on the buzzer.

-Too slow on the buzzer on that one.

-Too slow on the buzzer

and that means, Shaun, you win that round

and you're going through to The Final.

Alan, you've done really well but you're going home.

-Time to clock off. Well done, Alan.

-All the best.

-Cheers.

APPLAUSE

Congratulations, Sarah and Shaun,

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 £1,610. Well done!

APPLAUSE

Sarah, I am delighted that you are here

because you're here because of him.

-Yes!

-LAUGHTER

If we all remember right back to the start of the show,

-you nominated Sarah to be The Boss.

-Because I knew, I knew, you see?

-Oh?

You knew she would be here at the end?

I knew she'd be here at the end and she'd be great,

-so we've done a fine job.

-Ah!

Best of luck to both of you as we play The Final.

APPLAUSE

This round is all about teamwork.

You'll face a final five puzzles and will have 90 seconds

to complete the board.

Numbers, People, Geography, Music, Language.

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

so that's £322 for each game.

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

When each game starts, one of you must buzz in

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

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

the category is lost forever.

Sarah, as you're The Boss, you have the decision of where to start.

-People.

-Starting with the category of People.

Start the clock.

Unscramble the letters to find the surnames

of two well-known British actresses.

-Shaun?

-Winslet.

Correct.

Mirren.

Correct. Next category, please, Sarah.

-Er, Music.

-Music.

Tell us the missing words in this musical scale.

-Shaun?

-Do.

Correct.

Re.

Correct.

Next category, please, Sarah.

-Language.

-Language.

Name the language and the English word for the electrical appliance.

Sarah?

-Italian.

-No, it's not.

Next category, please, Sarah?

-Numbers.

-Numbers.

Find the missing numbers to solve the sums.

-Shaun?

-18.

No, it's incorrect.

Final category, then, is Geography.

Name the country and its capital.

-Sarah?

-Uruguay.

No, it wasn't Uruguay.

Oh, my goodness. That was a tough round.

But I tell you something, you've won £644, Sarah and Shaun, well done.

APPLAUSE

Tough round!

You completed two puzzles.

Let's have a look at what tripped you up.

First category was Geography.

That was...?

Malta.

And Valletta.

-Did you know it?

-I knew the capital, I didn't know the flag.

-Ah.

Let's take a look at the next one.

-Tough that.

-Lavadora.

-Lavadora is?

-Toilet?

Washing machine.

And it was?

-Spanish.

-Spanish.

It was tough. No, I wouldn't have got that.

And then finally...

Oh.

..Numbers. Both of you are like,

"I don't care about the answer to this one!"

It was six times?

34.

I was way off!

And 17 times?

12 for that one.

-I couldn't even...

-No, it's hard to sort of compute...

Well, you did well, Sarah and Shaun, but it's not over yet.

You now both have one final decision to make.

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

that's £322 each.

Or you can decide to play one final game

to decide who the ultimate Boss really is.

The winner of that game will walk away

with a whole prize fund of £644.

The loser walks away with absolutely nothing.

You both now have five seconds to decide

if you want to make one final Leadership Challenge.

Press your buzzers now.

HOOTER

Neither of you have made a play for the money.

That's so sweet.

Sarah, why didn't you challenge Shaun?

Because Shaun put me here

and it's because of him that I'm here, really,

-so...

-Sweet, isn't it?

-Yeah!

-..I felt I should split it with him.

And Shaun, why didn't you challenge Sarah for the money?

It's not a fantastic amount of money, it's a nice amount.

It would be a nice £300 for you, £300 for me,

-we could have a nice evening out for that.

-Aw!

-Together, on Valentine's Day!

-Why not!

It's been such an emotional journey for everyone involved today!

Congratulations, you've both played a fantastic game,

you're both walking away with £322 each.

Well done, Shaun and Sarah.

APPLAUSE

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

Join us again next time as we find out

what it takes to really be The Boss. See you then.

Well done, Sarah, you played a great game.
