Episode 12 The Code

Hello and welcome to The Code.

£3,500 is locked inside the safe.

All our players have to do to open it is crack a three-digit code.

Each time someone fails, more money's added,

so the jackpot goes up and up.

Last time, Emma and Theo had revealed one number in the code,

the number five.

So, let's welcome them back.

-Emma, Theo, welcome back. Lovely to see you again.

-Hello.

Hi. Thank you, sir.

Refresh our memories, you're both from East London,

working in East London for a charity for prisoners overseas.

-That's right.

-That's correct, yeah.

And, Emma, last time, you were telling us you are a supreme baker.

-Well, I don't know about that.

-When it goes right.

Yes, when it goes right. I enjoy baking.

Yes, the kitchen probably enjoys it a bit less.

-You were talking about your peanut butter bake.

-Yes.

-You brought some?

-Cos that's like my favourite...

-It doesn't travel well.

-It doesn't travel well?

-No.

-Very good.

-And, Theo, you work at the same charity?

-That's right.

Now, last time, you were saying

that actually you are quite competitive with each other.

How do you think you're working as a team?

-I think we're working together pretty well, actually.

-Yeah, so far.

Yeah. We haven't disgraced ourselves at an early stage

and we seem to have done all right. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's going OK.

Well, listen, guys, we wish you the very best today.

Lesley, they're doing brilliantly so far, aren't they?

They're doing extremely well.

It's just a case now of answering five more questions

to guarantee opening that safe.

-She makes it sound so simple.

-Yeah.

And it is, it's an easy game to play.

It's a very difficult game to win, though. Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Yes, I think so.

-Humped up?

-Yes.

Let's have a look at your next three answers.

Of course, you can

only see two questions at a time

before you have to commit.

Which one will you go for first?

I'm not sure. Patience and lucky

could be anything, couldn't they?

-Could be songs.

-Yeah, true.

-Both of them.

-Yeah, actually true.

Or... Anything else.

I don't know. Yeah.

As always, just one of those is correct,

that's the one we're looking for.

-Yeah.

-Maybe Nicole Kidman would be good,

-process of elimination.

-Yeah.

-We could start with Nicole.

-Yeah.

I think we could take a guess at that.

-Something we feel we know something about?

-Yeah, maybe.

-Yeah, maybe.

Possibly. Let's have a look at

the question behind Nicole Kidman.

Hm.

That was his wife.

I don't think it was his first wife.

I can't remember the name of his first wife, though.

I'm not entirely sure,

-but my gut instinct says that that's incorrect.

-OK.

OK. Well, we get to look

behind one other answer before we have to make

a decision here.

Do you want to choose this one?

-OK, maybe patience?

-Patience.

Well, it was their first comeback single,

but whether it was number one...

It was definitely 2000,

it wasn't before then, was it?

OK. No, it was definitely...

No, it was while I was living in Spain

and it was on the radio all the time.

-OK, yeah.

-So, no, it was definitely post-2000.

So we've got two answers there,

neither of which you are

as definitive, categorical

as you have been about...

We're a little bit

-in don't-know land.

-Mm.

If you want to look at lucky,

one of them has to go.

We're more inclined to get rid

of Tom Cruise, aren't we, I think?

-HE LAUGHS

-Generally, yes.

Um, yeah, I just had more

of an inkling about that one,

that that's an incorrect answer,

so I think we are going to go

and discount that one.

We're going to say

Nicole Kidman is an incorrect answer?

-BOTH:

-Yes.

-Yes.

OK. It's got to be

an incorrect answer.

It means we can look behind lucky,

we can carry on with the game.

You're doing so well.

Right, let's go.

-Well done.

-Phew!

Well done. Good intuition. Lesley.

That's right, Theo.

Your instinct about Nicole Kidman

being wrong was right.

The correct answer is Mimi Rogers,

-his first wife.

-Oh, yes.

Katie Holmes was his third wife.

That's right, yeah.

Great stuff. It means

we can bin that. It's an incorrect answer.

It leaves us with two. One of them must be correct.

And we can look at the question behind lucky now.

First instinct would say

that that would be incorrect.

I think there was a gangster,

but I think it was

an alliterative thing,

like Lucky Luciano or Lucky L,

something beginning with an L

rather than Benjamin Siegel.

I have no idea. I'm going to bow

to your superior knowledge

-of gangsters and take that.

-THEY LAUGH

Theo, a degree in gangsters.

Well,

you're clawing your way through these now. I mean,

we had to take one of them

as being a correct answer.

Either patience or lucky

must be correct.

-Patience?

-Should we go with...?

As being the correct one?

The correct one.

As being the correct one, yes.

Get rid of lucky and lock in patience.

Lock in patience

-as the correct answer.

-Yes.

-Hm.

We want that to go green.

We want that to be correct,

if you're going to get to put another digit into the code.

-Fantastic.

-Yay!

Fantastic. I think you know

more than you know you know.

Lesley, patience.

Absolutely. Emma, you remembered

that this was out when you were in Spain.

Patience, coming from the album

Beautiful World released in 2006.

And the American gangster

Benjamin Siegel, known by what nickname?

Bugsy.

Well done for you

-for working that one out.

-Bugsy Siegel, yeah.

So again, it wasn't the knowing of the answer that was important.

-No.

-It was knowing it wasn't the answer.

-Yeah.

And it got you the chance to put another digit into the code.

Two spots still remaining up there - the first and the third.

And you've had five digits from the keypad already.

-Where are you going to go next?

-I think we'll choose zero.

Zero.

Is zero in the first box?

It's not there. Is zero in the third and final box?

-It is.

-Oh, dear.

THEY LAUGH "Oh, dear."

-What a reaction. It is a good thing.

-Yeah.

We've now got two digits in the code.

You're just one number away from taking the jackpot.

But again, at this level, things become really quite difficult.

Now you can only open one question at a time before you have to commit.

And as always, only one answer is correct.

Let's have a look at your next three answers.

Right(!)

I don't even know what

the questions could be for these.

-Just take them in order?

-Yeah.

Yeah, we'll do that.

-Just take them in order.

-Yeah.

Let's have a look at the question behind rock.

My geography of Cornwall

isn't that great.

I haven't heard of Rock as being

a village, but it could well be.

It is a village, but whether

Sharp's Brewery is there is

another question entirely.

My inclination is to say

it's not correct.

I'm happy to go with that

cos I really don't know the answer.

-Yeah.

-So I'm happy to go

with Emma's inclination.

We are totally in the dark here.

-Yeah, we really are.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

We've just got to guess

one way or the other.

So we'll discount that one?

Yeah. I think so.

We're going to mark

that down as an incorrect answer.

Yes.

We want to discard that so we can carry on

looking at one of the other two.

Is Rock an incorrect answer?

-BOTH:

-Aw!

I don't know what to say.

It's just... You were playing blind,

absolutely. Lesley.

That's right. Rock,

the most common opening

in a game of rock, paper, scissors

and also home of Sharp's Brewery.

Quite close to Rick Stein's

-restaurant.

-Hm.

Well, let's have a look at the others now,

just to see if that would've helped you at all.

Let's have a look at paper.

Does that sound right to you? Would you know?

I'd say no. I'd say it was

-more like a canvas.

-Yeah.

I think we'd have guessed

that would have been incorrect.

And let's have a look at scissors.

-The Fosbury Flop.

-Yeah.

The Fosbury Flop, so you would have

-known that was incorrect.

-Yeah.

-Oh!

Lesley, talk us through those.

Yes, da Vinci's Mona Lisa painted

not on paper, but on poplar wood.

And the men's high jump.

You knew the answer to this immediately -

Dick Fosbury's famous Fosbury Flop.

None of which helps you now,

I'm afraid.

What would have been your next number?

-Let's complete that top row and say number one.

-Right, number one.

I kind of hope it's not there.

-Number seven.

-There you go.

-Little bit of work still to do.

-Yeah.

Emma and Theo, you played brilliantly right up to the end,

but I'm afraid we have to say, on this occasion,

you have failed to break the code, so you have to leave the game.

Thank you so much for joining us.

-Thank you. Bye.

-Thank you.

Well, Emma and Theo, unlucky.

But their loss is our next contestants' gain

because the jackpot goes up by £500.

So let's meet the next team hoping to crack the code.

-Come on in. Good to see you. Sally.

-Hi.

-Nice to meet you. And Sue.

-Hi, pleased to meet you.

-Good stuff.

-Now, you're both from Bury St Edmunds.

-We are.

-It's in Suffolk.

-It is.

-Yes.

-Glad I got that right.

-How do you know each other?

-We've been friends for ten years or more.

We're friends, neighbours. We live just down the road from each other.

-Children grew up together.

-Yeah.

-Around each other's houses.

-Yes.

-In and out, all that stuff.

-Yep.

-OK, I've got it.

And, you know, what do you do for a living?

I'm a graphic designer

and I work part-time as a barmaid on the weekends.

Sue, how about you, what do you do?

-I'm a fundraising manager for West Suffolk Hospital.

-OK.

I think I've definitely found my niche market,

cos I have done a few things in my time.

-Oh, really? What happened before?

-I've been a driving instructor.

-Yep.

I also trained as a hypnotherapist and a psychotherapist,

so don't look into my eyes for too long.

-Did you know, I was becoming quite...

-See? Absolutely.

I can see that. Yeah, you're good.

And I've always fundraised, throughout my entire life,

and then this opportunity came up at my local hospital, which is

just the most amazing hospital, which I am passionate about.

-So the two kind of fit together.

-You have strong powers of persuasion.

-Exactly.

-Get people to hand over money.

-Exactly.

-It's working.

So you're going to give me lots, are you? Thank you.

I have no power over this.

Do you know what? It is all down to you two.

It really is.

It's down to you two and the way you, you know,

manage to play the game together.

If you did win some money today, what would you do?

Well, I'd love a new car. I've never had a new car. Never.

-I've just had old bangers.

-Right.

And if I've got a bit of change, a nice holiday.

-So you'd like a new car and a holiday?

-Yeah.

You might struggle.

You might struggle with... We might be able to help towards it.

-How about you?

-A new car would be amazing.

I've always had my eye on a bit of an Aston Martin.

If you win today, you may be able to afford a wing mirror.

-Well, maybe I could hire one for the weekend.

-There you go.

-We could go like Thelma and Louise.

-Thelma and Louise.

Oh, yeah, I hope not.

No, not the end, we'll only have it for the weekend.

Great. Look, it's lovely to have you here.

And we do wish you the very best of luck.

Here's the good news, that Emma and Theo,

unfortunately for them, failed to win.

-And that means another £500 goes into the safe.

-Brilliant.

And that gives us a jackpot

-of £4,000.

-Wow.

That's what you're playing for today.

-That's a long weekend in an Aston Martin.

-Yeah, it's good.

Let's reset your code.

Three blanks. We want to make those into three unique numbers.

-Let's have a look at your first three answers.

-OK.

Remember, only one of them

is correct, that's the one

you're trying to find.

Go for the easy one?

Shall we start at the top?

-Yeah.

-Start at the top and work

-our way down, I think.

-Good stuff.

Let's see the question

behind November.

September, October...

-September?

-Can we go

for the second one, please?

OK.

Let's open the question behind two.

I think it's four. It's not two, is it?

The Olympics are four, aren't they?

-Oh.

-But does it kind of bypass

each other, so one...?

I don't know, actually.

OK, shall we leave that as a maybe?

Could we see the last one, please?

-Of course.

-Kanga.

-Let's reveal

the question behind Kanga.

Oh, dear.

-Do you know much about Winnie the Pooh?

-No!

I don't know much

about Winnie the Pooh.

I was thinking Roo

when I saw Kanga,

not because of kangaroo,

but I did think Winnie the Pooh.

-Yeah.

-So...

-You've got

-the whole picture there now.

-Yes.

Only one of those can be correct.

The other two must be incorrect.

Well, think the top one's

definitely incorrect.

Yes. The top one is definitely wrong

because it's September.

It's that Winter Olympics...

I am more leaning to

Winnie the Pooh's stories,

Roo's mum's called Kanga.

-Shall we go for that one then?

-You tell me.

Don't blame me if it's wrong.

That would've been a quick hello, goodbye, if it is wrong.

-Goodbye, hello, yes.

-The name of Roo's mother, Kanga.

It's got to be kangaroo.

Shall we go for Winnie the Pooh? Kanga.

OK, we're going to lock in Kanga

as the correct answer.

If it is correct, we get to choose a digit to try in the code.

If it is wrong, we are on our way

back to Bury St Edmunds.

Oh, please!

We want Kanga to turn green.

Is Kanga the correct answer?

-Yes!

-Yeah!

-Thank God!

-That's it, you've made it

-past the first question.

-Yes!

-I can relax.

-You can relax. Lesley.

That's right.

Sue, you said you didn't know much about Winnie the Pooh,

but you were leaning towards this

as the correct answer. You leant the right way.

Kanga - Kanga and Roo.

Kanga is Roo's mother.

Based on some toys that Christopher Robin Milne,

son of AA Milne, had as a child.

The month of the year that comes

last in alphabetical order.

I heard you, Sue, say the correct answer, which is September.

And the Winter Olympics,

held once every how many years?

They are held every four years.

A little while ago,

they were held in the same year

as the Summer Olympics,

up until 1992.

Now they are held overlapping two-year periods.

Thank you very much, Lesley.

I've saved face with my husband now, so that's good.

Listen, you don't have to worry.

You can hold your head high, knowing that much at least.

And you can also choose a digit from the keypad to try and

put into the code to see if it sticks.

-We did have a number lined up, didn't we?

-Yeah.

If were lucky enough to get through the first question, which we have.

And it was through birthdays.

-I've got two children that were born on the ninth.

-I've got a child.

And Sally's daughter is born on the ninth as well, so it had to be.

-Number nine.

-Number nine.

-OK.

Let's try number nine, see if it is in the code. Is it in the first box?

It's not in the first box. Is it in the second box?

No. Is it in the final box of the code?

-Yes!

-Oh, my God!

Excellent.

Not only have you completed one question from the code,

you've actually got one number in the code as well.

But it also means that the game now moves up to the next level,

-which is harder.

-Yes!

Now you see all three answers, but only two questions at a time.

-Then you have to commit.

-Yep.

-Yep.

Let's see your next three answers.

-Fine leg.

-Fine leg, to me, has something to do with sport or...

-Food.

-We're completely random, so let's choose another one.

We're at completely two ends of the spectrum.

-Your instincts are telling you not to go for that one, possibly?

-Yeah.

-Can we see darkness, please?

-Let's open the question

behind darkness.

It's, um, thieves.

-Thieves.

-Thieves?

-Great.

Well, you get to look at one

of the other questions before you

have to commit to that.

Fine leg.

And I said to you before, if anything keeps shouting at me,

just steer me away.

But fine leg, and I just...

-It's staring at me.

-Is it really,

as well? Fine leg then. Go for it.

Let's open the question

behind fine leg.

See?

My son used to play cricket,

and I WISH that I had gone and watched more.

-But...

-MATT LAUGHS

What is the fine leg? Is it the other wicket?

Because I'd say...

That's what I... In my head, when I saw fine leg, I saw sport.

It might be worth dismissing one that you're confident is wrong.

-Yeah.

-Dismiss the first one.

-That's what we're going to do? BOTH:

-Yep.

If it is wrong, then you get

to fight on. Have a look behind six.

If it is a correct answer, that's it, we're out of here.

Let darkness turn red and be an incorrect answer.

-Yes!

-It is.

Absolutely spot-on. Lesley.

Absolutely.

And you were right, Sally, to say that it is the Prince Of Thieves,

not Prince Of Darkness. There is a film

Prince Of Darkness, but it's not

about Robin Hood and it doesn't star Kevin Costner.

Fantastic.

That means we can get rid of the incorrect answer.

Just leaves us with two. Let's look at the question behind six.

Hopefully, we'll know this.

It's not six, it's nine.

Oh, the first two years.

You'd think with my experience as a driving instructor...

Didn't we have a former driving instructor with us?

Just to let you know,

I actually stopped teaching people to drive in 1994.

-OK.

-So clearly, things have changed now.

-They may have changed.

-Oh, my gosh!

-They might have changed it to six for the first two years.

"The first two years after passing your driving test..."

How many penalty points do you get for like a speeding...?

You get three, don't you? Is it three?

My head will be on the line if it is completely the wrong answer, but...

You're looking for the correct answer.

-Yeah, so...

-One of those must be the correct answer.

If we're dismissing the penalty points,

-then I think we should go for the fine leg.

-Fine leg. OK.

Let's lock it in.

If it's correct,

we get to put another digit into the code.

If it's incorrect...

..we're going home. Back to Bury St Edmunds.

Let's find out. Is fine leg the correct answer?

-Oh, no!

-That's it.

-I'm so sorry.

-That's clearly why

I don't teach people to drive any more.

-You're not a driving instructor any more.

-Exactly.

-It's been a long time.

-If you were, then you would know.

-Absolutely.

Lesley, talk us through these.

That's right, the correct answer there -

the first two years after passing your driving test,

six points will cause you to lose your licence.

If it's any consolation, that came in in 1997.

For other drivers, it's 12 points in any three-year period.

Only two umpires on a cricket pitch, one behind the stumps

at the bowler's end and the other at square leg.

There you go, square leg.

Thank you, Lesley. But that's no help to you now. I'm so sorry.

-But it's been so lovely to meet you.

-Thank you.

Sally and Sue, you haven't broken the code

and so you have to leave the game. Thank you for coming. And goodbye.

-Thank you.

-Thank you very much. Bye.

Walking home, not in the Aston Martin.

-Not the Aston Martin. LAUGHING:

-Clearly!

Yes, Sally and Sue will be going back in their old banger,

unfortunately.

But their loss is our next contestant's gain

because the jackpot goes up by £500,

so let's meet the next person hoping to crack the code.

-Hello, Colin, how are you?

-Good, thanks.

-Good to see you.

-So, Colin, you're from Surrey?

-That's right.

-And you're a man of the stars.

-Indeed, yeah.

So I'm a writer, basically, but on astronomy.

So scientists go out and look at the universe

and I write magazine articles, books explaining what's going on.

-When you're not writing about astronomy, what do you do?

-Travel.

I kind of save all our money to go travelling.

Do go travelling alone? Do you have a family or...?

My wife and I. We don't have a family at the moment,

-but that's something that's probably not too far away.

-OK.

Well, let's hope that's the case.

What would you do with the money if you did win today?

I think precisely that. Looking towards starting a family,

it would be useful to have a bit of extra cash.

I really hope we can help you do that today. That would be terrific.

OK, Colin, Sally and Sue failed.

That means another £500 goes into the safe.

And that makes a total

of £4,500.

-No solo flyers like you have won so far.

-Wow.

-Yeah.

-No pressure(!)

Presumably, you must be pretty confident.

-You don't need anybody else.

-Let's hope so.

-Let's hope so.

Let's reset the code.

And if you're ready to play, Colin,

-let's look at your first three answers.

-Sure.

Where do you want to start first?

Let's start at the top, Mongolia.

Mongolia. We'll start in Mongolia.

Let's reveal our question.

I would say most of Siberia

is probably in Russia,

so I am tempted to pass on that

for now and see what the others are. A bread knife?

Let's have a look at a bread knife.

Pretty sure it was a carving knife,

not a bread knife. So again, not...

not tempted quite yet. We'll see what A is.

We can have a look at A,

reveal that.

So Margaret Thatcher.

Um...

A, twice in her first name

and once in her surname?

So, yeah, that makes sense.

Two As in Margret and one in Thatcher.

OK, do you want to lock in A

as the correct answer in this first round?

Let's have one more check of Margaret and Thatcher

-just to make sure.

-Of course.

-Yeah, that sounds good.

-Happy to lock in A

as a correct answer.

That's locked in.

Is it a correct answer,

allowing us to put a digit

into the code to see if it sticks?

Let it go green.

Well done, Colin.

Great stuff. Good start. Lesley.

Well done, Colin, indeed.

A quick count up of the vowels

in Margaret Thatcher's name.

A, the correct answer.

Siberia is in Russia.

It does stretch down to Mongolia.

And in the famous nursery rhyme,

the farmer's wife - exactly as you said, Colin -

it's a carving knife, not a bread knife.

In some ways, the questions where you have to work it out,

and you can work it out, feel higher stakes, don't they?

-If you got it wrong, you've only got yourself to blame.

-Yeah, very true.

You got it right, Colin, that allows you to put

a digit into the code. Which number will you go for?

-Let's go zero.

-Zero.

Let's see if there's a zero in our code. Is it in the first box?

It's not in the first box. How about the second?

-Oh, it is!

-It is.

Very strong early progress, Colin. Fantastic.

That means we're onto the next level.

Things get a little bit harder.

As before, you get to see three answers, but this time,

you only get to see two of the questions before you have to commit.

-You don't get the whole picture.

-Sure.

-Brilliant.

Let's see your next three answers.

Now it does become

-important which order you choose these questions in.

-Yeah.

Given my background, maybe starting with the Earth

may be the right choice.

I would've been surprised

if you hadn't. I'll be honest.

Let's see the question behind the Earth.

This is great, yeah.

You could've written this question.

This is...this is... Yeah.

It's a view of the Earth from the moon,

taken by the Apollo astronauts, so that...

-OK.

-That's a very nice start.

-It's a nice start.

We don't have to make a decision yet.

We'll see the others, but...

-Which one you want to go for next?

-Stop.

-OK.

Let's have a look at the question behind stop.

-Saying stop.

-I think it's slow.

I've been to Wales a few times.

I've driven there a few times.

I think it's slow.

You're thinking araf means slow.

In that case, we need to eliminate one of those two answers.

-Which one are you going to get rid of?

-Stop.

OK. So we can see Greece,

we're going to eliminate stop.

We want that to be an incorrect answer.

It is.

Well done, Colin. Lesley.

Colin, you were very confident there

that if you saw the word araf

on the road when driving in Wales,

you should slow rather than stop.

-I think so.

-Brilliant.

So we can get rid of that incorrect answer.

It gives us a chance to open Greece.

Let's have a look at that question.

-It's Spain, not Greece.

-OK.

-So...

-You're happy then?

-Yep.

-OK.

Let's lock that in as a correct answer.

Let's find out.

Is the Earth our correct answer?

Brilliant. You'd expect so.

-You'd hope so.

-I would hope.

-Lesley.

What a fortunate question to have fallen your way, Colin. Yes,

The Blue Marble, taken in 1972

by the Apollo 17 astronauts,

the last men to be on the moon.

King Felipe the VI.

-Yes, he was king, exactly as Colin said, of Spain.

-OK.

Thank you very much, Lesley.

It buys you the chance to put another digit into the keypad.

Zero worked out very well. Where do you want to go next?

-Two.

-Number two.

We want to see two in the code. Is it there in the first box?

It's not in the first box. Is it in the last box?

-It's not there.

-Would've been too good.

We can look at the keypad now, though, and you can see you have

-eliminated two numbers, and that's good to make that progress...

-Yep.

..before the game gets any harder.

Let's have a look at your next three answers, please.

So, we'll go with ghost,

-I think.

-OK.

Let's open the question behind ghost.

I'm trying to picture it.

Yellow.

I think.

Is it something you use?

It's not something I use, no.

But I think I've seen it.

I think it's yellow. And I've got a hunch

it's a bell rather than a ghost, but I'm not...sure.

So it's good to see the next one.

OK. We get to choose one other

answer before we have to commit.

The only thing Charmless Man means to me

is something from a Blur song, I think?

And then Tonga, country.

Let's go Charmless Man.

We're going to open up the question

behind Charmless Man.

Well, that doesn't work.

It's not an anagram of Damon Albarn, I don't think.

Because there's no C in it.

Nomad is an anagram of Damon.

OK.

One of those we have to lose

if we want to see the question behind Tonga and progress.

One of those has to go.

Yeah, I can't see how Charmless Man is an anagram of Damon Albarn,

-so I will kick that one out.

-OK,

we want to reject Charmless Man as an incorrect answer.

We want it to go red.

Is Charmless Man

an incorrect answer?

It is.

Good reasoning. Well done. Lesley.

Yes, Colin, you didn't know the correct answer,

but you knew enough to identify that as incorrect.

The correct answer is Dan Abnormal.

There we go, Dan Abnormal. Right!

We can get rid of Dan Abnormal, off he goes,

and have a look at the question

behind Tonga.

Possibly Samoa.

I've got Western Samoa in my head.

It's in the same part of the world as Tonga, it's in the Pacific.

For some reason, I think Snapchat's a bell.

One of those must be correct.

Yeah, yeah. So I think it's...

We're looking for the correct answer.

Wow, that's really tricky.

Because if you have a bell... I'm picturing a bell shape.

That could be a head of a ghost with...

its arms.

Um...

And I'm thinking about Western Samoa.

It's definitely a place. Well, it used to be a place.

So I will say that the ghost is correct,

and keep that and get rid of Tonga being Western Tonga.

-We want to lock in ghost...

-Yeah.

-..as the correct answer.

-Yeah.

Well, piecing those two bits together.

Very interesting the way you're working, Colin.

We want ghost to be a correct answer. We want it to turn green.

Wow.

-Bullet dodged.

-MATT LAUGHS

You're not kidding,

cos you started out thinking it was a bell or something else.

Really intelligently done, Colin. I loved the way you did that.

-Lesley.

-Well rescued. Yes,

the ghost in the Snapchat logo does look a little bit like a bell.

It's a white ghost on a yellow background.

And the country which removed the word Western from its name

in 1997 - not Tonga, but Samoa, exactly as you said.

Western Samoa, you recalled that was once a country.

-Yeah.

-Thank you, Lesley.

-I mean, you had one foot out the door there.

-Yeah.

But it did get you through, Colin,

and that means you get to choose another digit to put into the code.

-What's it going to be next?

-Seven.

Is seven there, in the code,

taking Colin one step closer to £4,500?

Is it in the first box?

It's not in the first box. Is it in the last box?

It's not there.

-It's another number out of the game, though.

-It's still two choices.

And you're at the stage of the game, as you say,

where it's easier.

So you made very rapid progress early on.

But it's not a bad thing to get rid of numbers while you still get

some choices and a bit of context and different questions to look at.

-OK, are you ready...

-Yeah, go for it.

-..for the next three answers?

-Let's go France.

-France.

We're going to look

at France first.

Italy, not France.

-Do you know football?

-Yeah.

-Absolutely confident on that one?

-Yeah.

-Great. You get to choose

-another one as well.

-Uh...

-Al Pacino.

-Let's have a look

at the question behind Al Pacino.

Pretty sure Al Pacino was in The Godfather.

And I think he plays one of the Corleones, but I've not seen it,

so I don't know whether it's Vito Corleone or not.

But it's certainly very plausible and I know that Serie A

is definitely wrong.

So we'll get rid of Serie A.

We want to reject France...

-Yep.

-..as an incorrect answer.

-Yes.

So we want to see France

turn red.

It is. Well done.

Good stuff, Colin.

Lesley, he was absolutely nailed-on confident about that one.

No messing about there, you knew

that Serie A is not in France,

but in Italy.

OK, so we can get rid of that,

discard an incorrect answer, and we can look

at the question behind a waterfall.

I'm pretty sure a cataract is a waterfall.

Cos you... One, because I think it's right.

But also, cos you have that cloudy,

misty thing that you have when you have cataracts,

as if you're looking through a waterfall.

We have to choose one

-as the correct answer.

-We do. I've got to back myself,

I think, and say that a cataract is a waterfall.

Little bit of knowledge, little bit of hunch. Is that what it is?

Yeah, just something in the back of my head.

I'm more confident about that than Al Pacino.

So we're going to lock in waterfall

as a correct answer.

We want that to go green. If it is, you get another chance to choose

a digit and get a little bit closer to £4,500,

which we want you to win.

Well done.

Good stuff.

Worked out. Deduced there. Lesley.

Yes, Colin, you had a strong feeling that a cataract was

a kind of waterfall.

And the role of Vito Corleone in The Godfather Part 2,

not Al Pacino, who plays Michael Corleone,

but Robert DeNiro, who plays a young Vito

versus Marlon Brando's older Vito in the first film.

Thank you, Lesley.

Well done, Colin. Really intelligent play.

-It gives you the chance to stick another number into the code.

-Three.

The number three. Is it in the first box?

It's not in the first box of the code. Is it in the last box?

It is.

There we are, two digits in the code.

You are there. Just one more to find. That's all it will take.

But again, we've moved it up a notch to a different level

and things are going to get more difficult.

Now you can open just one question at a time,

and then you have to commit to whether that is right or wrong.

-Are you up for this?

-Yes. Let's hope for one that I can...

know straightaway.

No single player has ever cracked the code.

You would be the first, Colin. Let's see your next three answers.

More than before,

it's important the order in which you open them.

OK, Cornwall - obviously, a place in England.

It could be about that.

But I think it's also the surname of a writer,

so it could be a curveball on that side.

Afghanistan, I believe, is the first country

in the world alphabetically, if you rank them.

Random fact. Um...

Keema, I think is Indian food.

It is kind of like a naan bread.

Let's go for...

..Afghanistan.

OK. What is the question

behind Afghanistan?

So I think Bravo Two Zero

is about the First Gulf War.

Early 1990s.

I can't think of the guy who wrote... Lee somebody, maybe?

But I think it's First Gulf War, early 1990s,

which would make it Iraq rather than Afghanistan.

You're feeling that that is

-an incorrect answer.

-I think so.

I think it's First Gulf War.

I think it's Iraq, not Afghanistan.

Do you want to reject that as an incorrect answer?

Yes.

We're going to reject Afghanistan

as an incorrect answer.

We need it to turn red

if we're going to see the questions

behind either of the other two

and move forward with this.

If it is a correct answer,

Colin is on his way home.

We don't want that.

Is Afghanistan an incorrect answer?

Make it go red.

Well done.

Brilliant. Good reasoning. Lesley.

Yes, well sussed out, Colin.

The One That Got Away, by Chris Ryan,

and Bravo Two Zero, by Andy McNab,

books not about Afghanistan,

but Iraq.

Absolutely, as you said it.

That's great. It means we can

get rid of an incorrect answer.

It leaves us with two, one of which

must be the correct answer,

either Cornwall or keema.

Where do you want to go next, Colin?

Yeah, so it's tricky.

Again, the literature curveball could come in with Cornwall.

I'm not as hot on literature as some other subjects.

Keema, I think it is a naan bread,

but then you might ask me what's...

with what in it.

I'm not sure I would know that off the top of my head either.

Let's go keema.

OK. We are going to have a look at the question behind keema.

Well, that's pretty much what you're anticipating.

It is. It is.

Trying to think of all the types of naan you can get.

So, in a peshwari naan,

cos it's what my wife has when we have Indian, is, I think, coconut.

It's not that.

Um...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

That rings a bell.

Your hunch, a bit more than a hunch maybe, is that keema is

the correct answer, keema describes a filling of minced meat in a naan?

Yeah. I think it does.

Brave. I like this. We want

-to lock that in as the correct answer.

-Yeah.

There it is, locked in.

But we can have a look at Cornwall. No, we can't change our mind.

And see how it makes you feel if we

reveal the question behind Cornwall.

I think Devon has two coastlines.

So, does that make you feel more confident about the question

you've chosen as correct?

-I think it does.

-OK. Everything crossed for you, Colin.

We want keema to be the correct answer.

We want keema to be the naan with a filling of minced meat.

We want it to go green

to give you a chance at the code.

Well done. Really good.

Really good work there.

You've only got one question to look at, and you nailed it.

I picked the order the right way.

If I'd had Cornwall first,

I think I would've been in more trouble than that.

-You wouldn't have been so sure.

-Yeah.

Well, a bit of luck and a lot of judgment. Lesley.

Yes, in Indian cuisine, the kind of naan

which has a filling of minced meat is keema.

Keema can be almost any kind of meat.

And the only English county with two completely

separate coastlines.

Cornwall has one long coastline, Devon has two.

So very well worked out, Colin.

The first thing you'll be doing, as soon as you get back,

look at that road atlas and check them out.

-Or have a keema.

-Or have a keema naan!

Have a keema naan first and then look at the road atlas.

-OK, this is where we're at.

-Yeah.

We've got two digits in the code already, there's only one remaining.

There are six numbers on the keypad to choose from.

Which number would you like to pick next?

So, with the exception of zero, I've picked prime numbers so far.

-I've got two, three and seven.

-Yeah.

And there's only one prime number left on the board, and that's five.

So I've got to stick with five.

-You're going to go with number five.

-Yeah.

-OK.

Let's make our way to the safe.

-Prime number theory, that's what's brought us here...

-Yeah.

..with the number five to put in.

If it's the last number in the code,

then you get to open the safe and take £4,500 for you,

for your family.

-Are you ready?

-Yes, very much.

Colin, punch in the number five.

We're looking for 5-0-3.

Is it there?

Be in the code, number five, come on.

It is in the stars? Has it been predetermined?

Come on, number five.

Oh, my God.

THEY LAUGH

-Come here.

-Oh, my word!

Listen, that was fantastic, absolutely fantastic.

There you go, it's all yours, the safe is open. It's all yours.

Prime numbers!

-Wow.

-It's all yours, Colin.

Right.

That is remarkable, absolutely remarkable.

The first solo player on The Code to take the jackpot.

£4,500.

Can you tell me what that means to you and your wife

and how it's going to change things for you now?

It means a lot. It means a real lot.

So for example, turn where we live now into a nursery,

the spare room, and it'll be just a lot better for us.

I'm so chuffed for you. I really am.

So, very intelligent playing there from Colin,

but also a lot of luck with the numbers, Lesley.

Absolutely, cracking that code with just five correct answers.

Colin, we couldn't be more pleased for you.

£4,500 is a good chunk of money. It's a good jackpot.

You've broken the code, well done.

-We wish you bon voyage and good luck.

-Thank you.

Thank you, Colin.

Wow! What a player. Star man Colin, the fourth person in the series

to crack the code and the first solo winner,

going home with £4,500.

Unfortunately, that's all we've got time for. So thank you, Lesley.

-You're very welcome.

-And thank you to you for watching. Goodbye.
