Episode 14 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 this three-digit code.

Each time someone fails, more money is added

and the jackpot goes up and up.

Now, last time, Sam and Clare had just revealed

the second number in The Code when we ran out of time,

tantalisingly close to opening the safe.

So, let's welcome them back.

Sam, good to see you.

And Clare. Right, let's just remind ourselves about you.

Both from Essex, originally.

-Yep.

-You are sisters?

-We are.

-Sam, you're a tax adviser,

and, Clare, you're a personal assistant.

-That's correct.

-Now, Sam, you're nicknamed Yoda?

-That's right.

-Because you are small and wise.

-And old.

-I didn't say that bit!

And you are also not green. Who called you that? Was it Clare?

No, no. It was my partner and my children.

-Have you forgiven them?

-Yeah.

And now everybody else knows,

because I've got a personal number plate that says Yoda, as well.

So, now everybody else in Essex knows that's my nickname, as well.

OK. Well, I tell you, a lot more people know now,

so, you know, forgive us. That's going to happen.

I'm just hoping the force is going to be with me today.

Well, it certainly was yesterday! You were doing brilliantly.

I think we work well together as a team.

Clare knew some stuff. I knew some stuff and we got through.

Yeah. Well, let's hope we can carry that on today,

because, unfortunately, the klaxon went yesterday and cut you off.

We want to keep that momentum, don't we, Lesley?

Yes, we do. We want to see you walking up and opening that safe.

OK. Thank you, Lesley. You are not far away from it,

because if you have a look at where you are right now...

Wow! Only four digits left on the keypad.

One slot left in The Code. But, as there's only one left to find,

that means we're on to the next level,

where things do become more difficult.

Now, you can open just one question at a time before you have to commit,

whether it's right or wrong.

Remember, only one of the three answers is correct.

Are you ready?

-BOTH:

-Yep.

-£3,500 is waiting there.

Here are your next three answers.

-Oh, my goodness!

-OK.

Well, Mysterons sounds like Doctor Who.

I don't think either of us know much about that.

-Tees... Well, golf!

-Yeah. Could be.

I know a little bit about Barbra Streisand,

but I don't know if I'll know enough.

Shall we go Tees or Barbra Streisand first?

I think Tees could be a bit obscure.

OK. Let's go Barbra Streisand and hope Clare knows the answer.

We're going to have a look at the question behind Barbra Streisand.

It's definitely not Barbra Streisand

and I can't remember either of them,

but An Officer And A Gentleman was Love Lift Us Up

with Joe Cocker and somebody else, not Barbra Streisand.

OK. I agree.

I agree. So, would you like to discard that?

-Definitely. Clare's 100%. We'll discard it.

-OK.

It is sudden death at this stage. We are going to discard this.

If it's a correct answer,

then I'm afraid that's it. Brutal,

but you will be on your way home.

We want this to turn red.

-Great stuff.

-Well done.

-A really good start to the show.

Fantastic. Lesley.

Well done, Clare. Your instincts bang on there.

It's not Barbra Streisand,

but Jennifer Warnes who sings the theme to An Officer And A Gentleman,

Up Where We Belong with Joe Cocker,

and the theme from Dirty Dancing,

I've Had The Time Of My Life, with Bill Medley.

That's great. It means we can get rid of that as an incorrect answer.

It leaves us with two.

One of those must be the correct answer.

Therefore, which one do you want to open next?

I think we have to go for Tees.

Our dad is a fanatic golfer, so you never know,

we might know the answer to that one.

OK. On a wing and a prayer, let's find out the question behind Tees.

Isn't it on the Tyne?

My partner is now screaming at me on the TV.

He will know this immediately.

My knowledge of the north-east is not fantastic,

but I thought that Newcastle was on the north bank

and Middlesbrough was on the south bank of the Tyne.

But I'm not 100% sure.

You have more knowledge than I do.

We were hoping for a golf question.

-Yeah.

-We were.

-This is not the golf question we were looking for.

-I'm swaying towards saying that that's wrong.

-OK.

You want to discard this as a wrong answer?

-Yes. Please forgive me.

-It's all right.

Now we can't change our minds about that.

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

Oh, no!

It's the Day Of The Triffids.

-We've chosen the wrong one.

-You knew the answer to that one.

Yeah. We did know the answer to that one.

Which would mean that Tees is a correct answer.

-It is.

-OK. Let's find out - is Tees our incorrect answer?

-I'm really sorry.

-No, it's fine.

I'm so sorry.

You'd played so brilliantly up till then.

And you rejected Mysterons

because you thought you knew nothing about it.

In fact, the question would have helped you out massively.

-It would.

-Lesley.

That's right. The town of Middlesbrough

is on the south bank of the Tees.

Close to Stockton-on-Tees, so a lot further south

than Newcastle and Gateshead which is south of Newcastle, on the Tyne.

-That's what I was thinking.

-Then the John Wyndham novel,

you said the answer as soon as you saw this.

You knew that that was the Triffids.

The Mysterons that we are referring to

are the ones from Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons.

The Mysterons come from Mars.

Lesley, thank you. That is why this level is so hard,

because you don't get to compare the questions like that.

If you had, it could have been a very different story.

But look how far you came and how close you were.

Four digits left on the keypad, just one to fill.

Give me an idea, Sam. You were choosing the numbers.

Which number would you have chosen, then?

-I would have chosen number six.

-Shall we find out?

-If we must!

-Let's find out the last number in your code.

What was it going to be?

It was a five, so you've had a couple of

extra questions to go through.

It's been a delight to see you.

But, unfortunately, on this occasion,

you failed to break The Code and so we have to bid you bye-bye.

Thank you.

Poor old Sam and Clare!

So close, but yet so far.

It just goes to prove that, when you get to that last stage of the game,

it's very, very difficult.

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.

-Here they come. Lovely to see you, gents.

-Hello.

-Dave?

-Yes.

-And John.

-Hello.

-Now, I understand you're both from Essex.

-That's right.

-We are.

-And how do you know each other?

Well, we both work for the same high-street bank.

I was a manager looking for someone decent

to come and work in my branch...

And all you could find was John?

-It was.

-Now, you call yourselves, I understand,

the Ant and Dec of banking?

We don't. Other people call us it.

-So, which one is which?

-Probably the way we are standing makes me Ant,

-I would have thought.

-You're Ant. You're Dec.

Tell me a little bit more about yourselves.

What sort of things do you like doing, John?

I'm a big sports fan, so I play football every Tuesday night.

I like my fitness and spend a lot of time watching films,

movies and other bits and pieces with the missus.

-So, yeah. Lots of things.

-How about you, Dave?

-What do you like to do?

-Probably a massive film geek, actually.

I love watching the latest films, so therefore, when I watch the Oscars,

I know what's been up for nomination and that kind of thing.

That's a big thing, but a lot of family research, as well,

-I've been doing.

-What have you managed to uncover?

I was told by my dad we had no family at all before he died.

And then when he died, we found a cousin of his and met up with those,

swapping pictures of him as a kid, that I never saw.

-Well worth doing.

-It's something I've never delved into.

Well, listen. It's so lovely to have you here today,

and we do wish you the best.

The good news for you guys, at least, is that Clare and Sam failed.

That means that another £500 goes into the safe,

making a total of...

Nice!

You know the value of that, of course, working in banking.

Let's reset The Code.

There we go. Three blanks.

We need to make those three numbers to open that safe.

Are you ready, gentlemen?

-We are indeed.

-Let's see the first three answers.

Only one of those is correct

and that's the one you're trying to find. At this point,

you can open all three answers to reveal their questions.

Where would you like to start first?

-You pick one.

-We'll go straight in the middle. We'll go Venezuela.

-OK.

Let's see the question behind Venezuela.

Which South American country is named after a city in Italy?

Straightaway, you're looking and you're thinking, Venice, or Venezia,

but I don't know whether that's true.

Is it something you'd put together as a question?

Geography has never been my strongest point,

as you are very much aware.

So, I like your logic with Venice.

I want to see one of the other two.

-Let's do Elton John.

-OK. Let's do Elton John.

No. I think the answer to that is Bono.

Bono has been in a lot of them.

Bono does all of them. He does the same line in all of them.

-He does, they changed that line in one of them.

-To make it softer.

We are leaning towards that being an incorrect answer.

-Definitely.

-Shall we have a look at the question behind yellow?

-Yes.

Ooh! Do you know, I can see the rings,

-but the colours keep swapping around in my head.

-Sure.

I just can't see...

There's green, there's red, there's blue...

-OK.

-At this stage, we need to pick the correct answer.

That's the next decision you need to make.

How confident are you on the Venez...

I'm not confident. The only thing that I think

is as soon as I saw Venezuela,

I thought that's probably the true answer.

-Venezuela is true?

-What's your gut feel?

That makes sense to me.

Well, shall we go with the right one being Venezuela?

OK. That's the only one I can go for.

It's the only one I can go for with any certainty of any knowledge.

That's your strongest sniff?

Yes, strongest sniff. Yes...

-We're going to lock it in.

-Yeah.

We want that to be our correct answer.

We want Venezuela to be the South American country

that is named after a city in Italy.

We want it to go green.

-Oh!

-The relief!

The relief!

Well done, chaps. That means that you are off the blocks.

-Yes.

-I think that was your biggest fear.

-Lesley?

-John, I loved your very clever reasoning on that question.

You figured out that the correct answer is Venezuela,

which means "Little Venice",

named because Amerigo Vespucci decided

that it reminded him of that place.

The versions of Do They Know It's Christmas?

You knew immediately that Elton John was the wrong answer.

And, Dave, you remembered that Bono had sung

on a number of those records.

And on the Olympic flag,

the colour which is the middle one of the five rings,

you weren't sure about this at all.

It's very hard to remember the order.

It's not yellow, but black.

-Ah! Wow!

-There you go.

-Yes. There you go.

So it means that you get the right

to pick a number from the keypad to enter into The Code.

-Where do you want to go? What number?

-Go on, you go for it.

Let's go with number five.

Number five. Is five in your code?

Let's have a look in the very first box.

-Come on. Ooh!

-It's not there.

Is it in the second box?

No number five. How about the third box?

-Ooh!

-No number five.

But it's quite good to dismiss a few numbers early on

-here at the easiest level.

-Yep.

Are you ready for your next three answers?

Yes, please. Let's see them.

-Whip straight into one, shall we?

-Yes, go for it.

-Let's go for Midland.

-Yep.

We know with absolute certainty it is not Midland Bank.

-Boom!

-Yes. I think you found your question.

-We did, yeah.

-Let's hope you get it right.

-Yeah.

-That's all right.

-Where'd you want to go next?

-Hamburg.

-OK.

The question behind Hamburg, please.

That's absolutely spot on, isn't it?

Cos I know for a fact, cos Cilla Black went

-and toured with them.

-That's right.

You are sure about that, as well, aren't you?

Well, not as sure as you, but we will see Hull, anyway.

See that little bit of moving over?

"Not as sure as you," just in case you're wrong.

Shift the burden of responsibility!

-Shall we have a look at the question behind Hull?

-Yes, please.

I thought a spinnaker was a boat,

-so that would make it a hull, wouldn't it?

-Mm.

But I don't know what a moonraker is or a spanker.

Pretty confident about the other two?

-Yes. Definitely.

-I'm glad about your confidence on the Beatles question,

because without that, I would...

-Yeah.

-Do you want to lock that in?

-Shall we?

-Yes.

-Yes, please.

-Happy to lock in

Hamburg as our correct answer.

Is Hamburg the correct answer?

Just too confident, weren't we?

-Yes!

-Come on!

-There you go.

-Well done, you.

-Second one down.

-Woo!

-Hamburg. Lesley?

Dave, you were absolutely certain about this one.

You seem to know a lot about the Beatles' early history.

Yes, John Lennon said, "I might have been born in Liverpool,

"but I grew up in Hamburg".

And the bank which disappeared from the high street

only to reappear when it separated from Lloyds in 2013...

You didn't need to think twice about this one.

The correct answer is TSB.

Initially, the Trustee Savings Bank.

-Mm-hm.

-And, in sailing, spanker,

moonraker and spinnaker are types of sail.

Moonraker can also refer to someone from Wiltshire.

Is that right?

There you go. Thank you, Lesley.

It means you can pick another number from the keypad to try in The Code

and see if it sticks. Where do you want to go next, gents?

-Your turn.

-Zero, please.

Zero. Nice round number.

Let's see - is there a zero in the first box?

-Yes!

-Ooh! It is there.

-Come on!

-You've got a zero, first box.

We are banking our very first number, well done.

It now means, however, that the game moves on to the next level.

-Right.

-And it's going to get a bit harder for you guys.

Now, you don't get the full picture.

As before, you see three answers.

But now you can only see questions

-behind two of them before you have to commit.

-Right.

-Sure.

-All clear?

-Yes.

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

Saturday, potentially,

looks like it could be the easiest of the three.

I don't know what other questions could answer with Saturday.

-Yeah, why not?

-Throws this wide open, doesn't it?

-Yes.

-Let's see the question behind Saturday.

I'm just trying to think, is it...? No, cos it is on during the week.

-Yeah.

-And the omnibus is a Sunday.

-Sunday.

-It is. I used to listen to it on the way to my Sunday football.

So that's wrong, yes. But we'll look at another one, yeah?

-Where'd you want to go next?

-We'll go with Business.

-Business?

-Yeah.

Does "equipe" mean business? Equipe.

Like you say, it's almost like "equipment".

When I first saw that, I thought sport,

but then I'm just thinking of equipment.

But, then, could it be the equipment for work?

Equipe... Equipe... I don't know why saying it like that

makes me feel any different.

Beautiful pronunciation.

I'd like onions and a beret, that might make me think a bit better.

OK, one of those has to go as an incorrect answer,

if we'll see what is behind Roundheads.

That's wrong. We'll get rid of the middle one, please.

We are going to discard that

-as an incorrect answer.

-Yes.

Which allows us to see behind Roundheads and carry on playing.

If it is the correct answer, Dave and John,

I'm afraid that is the end of our time together.

So let's hope that that turns red.

-Yes!

-Well done.

-Lesley?

-Yes, Dave,

you knew from having listened to this that it is on Sunday,

rather than Saturday.

So that means that we can discard that as an incorrect answer.

It leaves us two, one of which must be right.

Let's see the question behind Roundheads.

-It is Cromwell with the Roundheads.

-Yes.

-So that's the correct answer.

-Right.

-We think Business is wrong and Roundheads is right.

You want to lock in Roundheads as the correct answer?

-Yes, please.

-Yes.

-Let's find out.

Is that our correct answer?

-Yes!

-Got it. Great stuff.

-Come on!

-Lesley?

The Roundheads, or Parliamentarians, associated, exactly as you said,

with Oliver Cromwell against the Cavaliers,

the usual name for the supporters of Charles I.

And L'Equipe, the French national newspaper -

Nothing to do with equipment. L'Equipe means "team".

-Ah!

-And it's a paper devoted to sport.

-Oh, you were right with sport.

-You got there.

Fantastic work.

Thank you, Lesley. Right, good stuff.

We have one number in our code already.

We've just bought the chance to try and stick the second one in

and get closer to that jackpot in there.

£4,000 waiting for you.

Zero and five have already gone. Which one next?

Er, I'd like to go for number eight, please.

Number eight.

Is number eight in your code?

Two boxes remaining. Is it in the second box?

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

-There is no number 8 in your code.

-OK.

But, once again, we've eliminated a number from our inquiries.

-Mm-hm.

-Are you ready to carry on playing?

-Yes, please.

-Let's see your next three answers.

You're doing brilliantly.

OK, so Edgbaston is Birmingham, cricket.

-Yes.

-An area of Birmingham, as you know.

Esau, I can't place that at all.

I have absolutely no idea what that means.

I keep thinking of fables, but that's not...

It's Aesop's Fables, not Esau.

Er, and Three, well... Everything.

The number, mobile company.

-Well...

-Anything.

It could be anything.

-Where do you want to start?

-Shall we start with Three?

-Yeah.

Just cos it could be there? Yes?

-We'll open the question behind Three.

-Yes, please.

Is it the next one up from a normal bottle a magnum?

-Would it be two bottles?

-I was going to say, Formula One,

that's normally associated to be a magnum.

I would think that would be a magnum, cos it seems a big thing.

-Yeah. Two or three, though?

-Before we make a decision,

you can open another question.

-Oh, yeah.

-Yeah.

-Edgbaston?

Yeah, only because I have no idea about Esau.

-Yes, please.

-Yes, please, Edgbaston.

Let's open the question behind Edgbaston.

-We know Edgbaston is in Birmingham.

-Yep.

-So that cannot be...

What's the Nottingham Test cricket ground?

-Trent Bridge?

-Trent Bridge.

-Yes.

So we will get rid of that one, please.

-Yes, please.

-Happy to get rid of...?

-Edgbaston.

-Yes, please.

Were going to lose Edgbaston as an incorrect answer.

That means we want it to turn red,

giving us the chance to see behind Esau.

Yes!

-You know it.

-Lesley?

Dave, you remembered that Edgbaston is in Birmingham,

home of Warwickshire.

And you said the correct answer, as well, which is Trent Bridge.

-Brilliant.

-Yes. Yes.

-Now,

that means we can dismiss that as an incorrect answer

-and we can have a look at the question behind Esau.

-OK.

Probably my weakest area

on the whole subject of anything in the world.

-Not a Bible fan?

-No.

No. Haven't read it in a while.

Er, the more I think about magnum,

I think it's probably bigger than two, for sure.

I think a magnum of champagne...

-What's two bottles?

-I'm just thinking,

a bottle of champagne is about average size

of just a normal bottle of wine, which is, what, 75cl?

So, if you are talking two of those...

I just... It just doesn't seem that particularly big,

for a magnum. And, with the word magnum...

You know, it's normally... You've got the ice lolly,

that's quite a big thing.

I'm just thinking, you know, it's more than two.

So three could be...

I just don't... My gut feels that that is two bottles,

a magnum of champagne.

But... But I don't know anything about Esau.

No, the Bible one, that is a complete stab in the dark.

We have to rely on the Three one.

A bottle of wine...

Should have looked at these on the train down.

Do you know what? I'm more logically thinking that three...

-Is all right?

-Yeah.

We've got to lock one of these in as correct.

-Which one is it?

-We'll lock in Three as right.

-We're going to lock in Three as the correct answer.

-Oh!

We want a magnum of champagne

to equal three standard bottles.

Is Three the correct answer?

Oh! No! I don't believe that.

-50-50.

-It was.

Oh, my God. You fell on the wrong side.

I'm so sorry. Lesley?

Well, Dave and John, you had no real inkling about this,

not having heard of the story of Esau and Jacob, the sons of Isaac.

And the magnum of champagne,

-the equivalent of two bottles - 1.5 litres.

-Agh!

I'm sorry, guys.

You had to go one way or the other.

-Unfortunately, you went the wrong way.

-Yeah.

It's been so lovely having you here.

-Thank you.

-What number would you have gone for next?

-Two.

-You would have gone for the number two?

-Yeah.

-Let's have a look. Let's see if it is there.

Is it in the second box?

Is it in your code?

Oh! That was the number I was going to say!

-And three was next.

-Yes, it was.

You would have done it, if you'd got the next two questions right.

Well, that just rubs your nose in it.

-Isn't that awful?

-Let's go and get a Bible.

Well, listen, I tell you what, Dave and John, I'm afraid,

on this occasion, you haven't been able to crack The Code.

-Yes.

-So we have to bid you goodbye.

-Thank you.

-Lovely to meet you.

-Cheers.

-Cheers, thank you.

Now there they go, Dave and his protege, John,

sadly leaving with nothing.

But their loss is our next contestants' gain,

because, as always, that means the money goes up.

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

-Here they come. Lovely to see you. Pam, how are you?

-Thank you, Matt.

-Caroline.

-Hello.

-And Helen.

-Hello, how are you?

Yes, very well, thank you.

Now, I understand you are all from the Wirral.

-We are.

-And how did you guys meet each other?

Well, Caroline and I have known each other almost 30 years.

I know it doesn't look like it, does it?

-Impossible! How did you meet?

-Oh, am-dram.

-Really?

-Oh, yes.

-So that was the two of you?

-That was the two of us.

-And then how did you get to know Pam?

Oh, well, Helen dragged me along

to read the questions for her quiz team.

-Really?

-And I joined the quiz team.

And then Pam joined, so we've known...

We've only known Pam since last October.

-I'm the newbie.

-A relative newcomer.

-Yes.

-What do you do, individually?

-Are you working? What sort of thing?

-I'm the only one that is working.

-Right.

-So, I work as an admin assistant

for a large department store.

-OK.

-I'm retired now, but I'm doing a degree with the OU.

OK. Which degree?

I'm doing a BA honours in French and Spanish for my sins.

And how about you, Pam?

I'm officially retired, but I do some voluntary work for a charity,

I do half a day a week for the company I used to work for.

I occasionally go to schools to talk to them about Fair Trade,

-so I don't have much spare time.

-You've got a full schedule.

-Yes, "retired" is relative.

-We're lucky to have you here.

I think you should be well impressed.

I really am! Well, listen,

we are very much keeping everything crossed for you.

-Right, thank you.

-Anyway, this is the situation we are in.

Dave and John, lovely boys, unfortunately failed.

That means another £500 goes into the safe.

And that means it is a total of...

-Ooh!

-Let's reset The Code.

Three blanks. We want to make those three numbers

so we can open that door.

And, if you are ready, let's have a look at your first three answers.

-OK.

-Thank you.

Remember,

only one of those is correct.

That's the one that you are trying to find.

At this point, you can open all three answers

to reveal the questions. Which one would you like to see first?

India? Shall we go for the middle?

-Let's go for the middle.

-OK. Let's have a look

at the question behind India.

-Yes.

-Hotel, India.

-Golf, Hotel, India.

-Yeah.

-Yes.

-Juliet, Kilo.

Yes, definitely. OK. Right, fairly confident about that?

Very happy with that one, yes.

Let's see one of the other two.

Let's have a look at Bull.

-No, it's not.

-It's the same as...

-It's the same as a pig, isn't it?

-It's a pig, isn't it?

-Sow and bull?

-No, sow and...

not bull. Er, hog.

-Sow and hog.

-Yeah, yeah.

-OK.

-Or boar.

-But not bull.

-Not bull. Not Bull.

Let's have a look now

at the question behind 6 Hours.

No, it's eight. I would say eight.

It's about eight in San Francisco.

OK, so I think India.

-Yes.

-Excellent.

-Yes, it's got to be India.

-Happy with that?

-We are happy with India.

-We've already seen

individual strengths coming through here.

Which one do we want to lock in as a correct answer?

-India.

-Let's lock it in.

We want it to turn green.

We want to give you the first chance to get a digit into your code.

Is India the correct answer?

Great start. Well done.

Oh, and relax.

Well done. Helen, I heard you say, Golf, Hotel, India.

You clearly know the NATO alphabet.

And the correct answer there is India.

For the majority of the year,

how far behind the UK is the time in Los Angeles?

Well, Helen saved the day with this one by knowing

that it is not six hours, but, in Pacific Time, eight hours behind.

And the name given to the male of the hedgehog -

not the bull, but the boar.

-The boar.

-The boar.

-There we go.

-You were right about it being pig.

But you were so confident on the first one,

-actually, the others were...

-Yes, it made it easier to decide.

Now we are going to choose a number to go into The Code.

All ten are there.

The Code is made of three unique numbers.

Which one do you want to choose?

-Go and say one each.

-Go on, then.

-You have one each. Go on.

-Two.

Number 2. Is number 2 in your code?

Let's find out.

Is it in the first box?

Is it in the second box?

Oh! It's not there. Is it in the third box of The Code?

-Oh, good grief!

-Oh, Helen!

-Shan't let you choose again.

-Sorry.

-Oh, no, no.

-It's eliminated it.

-It's eliminated it.

-Exactly, Pam.

-Yes.

-And it means you can carry on playing the game

at the easiest level,

where you get to see all three questions at the same time.

-Right.

-That's the important thing.

Are you ready for your next three answers?

-Yes.

-Yes, Matt. Go on.

Here we go.

-OK.

-You get to see all three, so the order doesn't matter too much.

Oh, right. OK, then. Let's go from the top.

Let's start with Juliet.

Let's try the question behind Juliet.

-Lady Macbe... Well, sorry.

-No, it's not. It's Macbeth.

-Macbeth.

-I will bow to the superior knowledge

of my acting colleagues here.

-Excellent. Excellent.

-"Its handle towards my hand?"

Are we ready to have a look at the question behind Hooker?

We are, yes.

Number 9 is definitely the scrum-half in Rugby Union.

OK, right.

-All right, then.

-We can move quickly on, then.

To Geneva.

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

-Yes, please.

-We like that one.

-All happy that's our correct answer?

-Absolutely, yes.

-We all like Geneva.

Let's lock in Geneva.

And let's find out if it is the correct answer.

If it is, the chance to put another digit into The Code,

see if it sticks. Is Geneva our correct answer?

It is. Well done. Unanimous. Lesley?

A real team effort.

Yes, Caroline, Pam and Helen,

you all recognised Geneva as the home of CERN,

where you would find the Large Hadron Collider.

The Shakespeare character who utters the line,

"Is this a dagger which I see before me?"

Caroline and Helen, you knew immediately that this was Macbeth,

when he realises he has to kill Duncan to become the king.

And in Rugby Union, who would wear the number nine?

Pam, you knew straightaway that that was not the hooker

who wears the number two, but the scrum-half.

-Fantastic, Lesley.

-Excellent.

Ladies, you're not only spotting the right and wrong answers,

you're giving us the correct ones, which is beyond the call of duty.

You get no bonus points for that.

-Oh, well.

-Maybe we could change the rules slightly?

Just one extra guess.

These are the rules, I'm afraid.

Let's choose another number to go into The Code.

-OK. Which one next?

-OK, well there are three of us,

-so I'm going to go for number three.

-Number three. Is three in your Code?

Let's have a look in the first box.

-It is.

-Oh, well done!

-Good for you.

-You wanted to say that first time.

-I should have let you.

-You've nailed your first number in The Code.

That means we move onto the next level

and things do get a little bit harder here.

As before, you see all three answers,

but, this time, you can only see the questions behind two of them

before you have to commit.

-Right.

-OK. You understand?

-Yes.

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

It does become important which order you open them in now.

Well, shall we go for one that we think we know first?

We know more about Tom Waits, I think.

Well, I don't know. How about Faun?

Because that's mythology, isn't it?

-It's a colour.

-OK. Not spelt like that, it isn't.

-No.

-Sorry.

-F-A-W-N, then.

-The animal.

-Yes.

-OK. We'll try that one.

-Go on.

-We'll try Faun.

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

Yeah. He's a faun.

-He is.

-He is a faun.

You feel like you've identified the correct answer.

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Well, you get to look behind one of the other answers

to see the question

before you have to make a decision.

Right, OK. Which one do you want to...?

-Shall we go for Oman?

-OK.

-Yes.

-We will try Oman.

-OK.

We need to take a step back and not overtalk you.

Muscat is the capital of Oman.

Do we feel, from one of those, we can reject one

-as an incorrect answer?

-Yes.

-Which one will it be?

-Oman.

-Happy to reject Oman?

-Yes.

OK. We are going to reject Oman.

We want to see it go red. That gives us a chance to look

at the question behind Tom Waits. Is this the incorrect answer?

And we did!

-It is lovely, bright red.

-A big sigh of relief all round.

Lesley?

Helen, your knowledge of geography coming into play yet again.

Oman, you knew the capital was Muscat.

The correct answer here is Bahrain.

Fantastic. We can now get rid of that

as an incorrect answer. We can open the question

behind Tom Waits.

Ooh. Might be struggling with that one.

I'm glad we didn't have that.

I don't know.

Now, I know this one.

But you're positive about Faun?

-Yeah.

-So...

-There can't be two right answers.

You know that the faun is...

-Yeah, yes.

-..which I wouldn't have known.

Yes.

-Are you happy to lock in Faun as a correct answer?

-Yes.

-Yes, I'll take responsibility.

-Very big of you, Caroline.

I have broad shoulders.

Let's lock in faun as our correct answer.

We want that to go green.

We want Faun to be the correct answer.

If it is, it will give you the chance to choose another number,

the second of your code.

-Ah!

-Got it.

-Well done, Caroline.

Well done. You took the responsibility and it paid off.

Lesley?

Caroline, you were very quick and confident

to assert that Mr Tumnus is, indeed, a faun.

The singer-songwriter who performed the theme songs to Toy Story...

That's You've Got a Friend in Me

and Monsters Inc - If I Didn't Have You...

Not Tom Waits, but Randy Newman.

-I thought it was.

-I couldn't think of his name.

-Yes.

-Well, you were so sure about Faun, there was no point.

Yeah, no point messing with that one, really.

Absolutely. And that's the beauty of this stage of the game,

where you get to see the questions next to each other.

So, which number are you going to pick?

Two and three have gone.

Three is up there in your Code. Eight numbers to choose from.

Which one are you going to go for?

-Well, let's add them together and say five.

-OK, Caroline.

Taking responsibility for this, as well.

Is five in your Code?

Is it there in the second box?

SHE GASPS

-Oh!

-Ooh! Oh, dear.

-Wow!

You've only chosen three numbers so far

and two of them have been correct.

That means there's just one number left to find.

But we are at the next level and things do get a bit more difficult.

Now, as before, you get three questions, but...

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

-And you've got a lot of numbers to get through still.

-Yes.

You've been so confident so far.

I don't want it to end yet.

-Neither do we.

-Neither do you.

Are you ready for your next three answers?

-Yes.

-Let's have a look.

Giant Haystacks, was he a wrestler?

He was a wrestler.

More than before, it's important the order in which you open them.

Yes. Daredevil is Marvel...

-Evel Knievel?

-No.

-No, no, no.

No, he's a... Almost like a superhero.

-A superhero type.

-Oh, I know nothing about that.

-Kelly Holmes.

-Kelly Holmes.

She's a dame now.

-She was an athlete. Gold medal winner.

-Yes, but what did she win?

Oh, was it 800 metres?

800 and 1,500, I think.

-Was it?

-She won two, didn't she?

-Gosh! Fit lady.

-Yes.

-Do you want to go for Kelly Holmes first?

-I think we should.

-OK.

-Yes.

-You were very happy with it.

OK. You feel that's your strongest suit out of the three?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-OK.

Let's open the question behind Kelly Holmes.

She wasn't a heptathlete.

Kelly Holmes wasn't a heptathlete.

-Right, OK.

-So, 2000...

-We haven't got...

-Possibly Denise Lewis?

-We don't have to find out who it is.

-I know.

-But...

-Well, you need to know, don't you?

I like to know.

She likes to know.

Well, 2000, probably Denise Lewis.

-It's too...

-Maybe.

It's too early for...

-But we just know it wasn't Kelly Holmes.

-Yes.

We are looking for the correct answer.

If you don't think it's correct,

-we can get rid of it.

-Yes.

-And move on.

We have to do that to be able to see the others.

-Yes.

-We dismiss that one.

We're going to dismiss that as an incorrect answer.

That means we want to see it turn red, so we can carry on playing.

-Brilliant.

-OK.

-Well done.

Gold medal. Brilliant.

-Lesley?

-Yet again, not only dismissing the wrong answer,

but giving the correct answer.

-Oh, well done!

-I heard you say Denise Lewis.

-Yes.

-And that is the right answer for the heptathlete.

You were absolutely right to say

that Kelly Holmes is not a heptathlete.

And I heard you mention earlier the 1,500 metres and the 800 metres,

in which she has been very successful.

-Right.

-Thank you, Lesley.

-Thank you.

We can get rid of that answer.

It leaves us just two now, one of which

must be, by definition, the correct answer.

-Ooh.

-Where do you want to go next?

I think we need to get rid of Giant Haystacks, because I'm not really...

-No.

-..really definite about Daredevil.

OK. So, go for Giant Haystacks?

-Yes.

-OK.

Let's see the question behind Giant Haystacks.

It's a long time since I've seen Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

No, no. No! I know who it is.

-Right.

-Not him.

-Right.

-It's definitely not him?

-It's definitely not him.

OK, well done.

-You are sure it's not him?

-Yes.

Big Daddy is the character in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof

and he was also a wrestler.

I like it when our players suddenly get

-a lightning bolt of inspiration.

-I know. Oh, it just flashed!

So you are convinced that Giant Haystacks is an incorrect answer?

-I am.

-We want it to turn red, which, by definition,

-would mean that Daredevil would be the correct answer.

-Yes.

We are going to say Giant Haystacks is an incorrect answer.

That means we get to have a look at the question behind Daredevil.

Knew he was in Marvel Comics, yeah. I didn't know his name.

Did you make the right choice of question to open?

-Yes, yes.

-Let's find out.

We want Giant Haystacks to turn red

and that gives us a chance to choose another digit,

which you've been very good at doing.

Potentially, this could give us the chance to open the safe.

-Oh, wow.

-£1,500 each.

£4,500 as a jackpot.

Let's find out if Giant Haystacks is an incorrect answer.

-Yes!

-Oh, well done!

-Brilliant work.

-Brilliant work.

-Lesley?

That's right. Matt Murdock is the alter ego of Daredevil.

He's blind, but crime-fights because he has enhanced senses.

That's right. And, Caroline, you had an epiphany about this one.

-Yes.

-Not Giant Haystacks, who is Martin Ruane,

but Shirley Crabtree, Big Daddy.

-Yes.

-Fantastic.

So, Big Daddy came to you out of the blue as your saviour there.

That means you get a chance now

to choose a number to put into The Code.

One, four, six, seven, eight, nine and zero.

-Number nine, please.

-Absolutely sure?

No, we're not sure, but never mind.

Number 9? If number 9 is correct, it will open the door.

Who is going to come down with me to the safe and put in the number 9?

-Our team captain.

-Helen?

-Yes.

-Join me at the safe.

Good luck, Helen.

Helen, Caroline and Pam, you've chosen the number nine.

-Yes.

-If the last remaining number in The Code is nine,

you will leave today with £4,500.

Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Punch in the number nine.

Come on. Just one number.

It's a bit of a long shot.

7/1.

But is it there, the number nine, in that last slot?

-Come on.

-Please be a nine.

-Please!

-Oh!

-Oh!

-I don't believe it!

Oh, my goodness me!

Oh, my goodness! Congratulations!

-Well done.

-Thank you.

-Hysteria now. Oh, my God!

-Fantastic. Step forward, open the safe

and, inside, you will find £4,500, which is yours.

-Look at that. Oh, my goodness me!

-Wow!

-I can't believe it!

-What do I do with it?

-I want to touch it! I want to touch it!

-Wow!

-Oh, look at that!

-Wow! Congratulations.

-Thank you.

-Is that all right?

-Thank you.

-Well done.

-Well done.

-Look at this!

-That's fantastic work.

-Yes.

-Well, I mean,

you've answered all your questions

in the most assured and confident way

and given us the answers when they've been wrong.

You've chosen all the correct numbers, apart from one.

-The first one.

-The odds against that are astronomical.

You've taken £4,500.

You are our first all-female team to do it.

-Yes! Girl power!

-You are our first trio to do it.

You've created Code history and I'm guessing, right about now,

-it feels pretty good.

-Yes! It really does.

-Thank you.

-Astonishing.

The fastest team we've had to get to the jackpot.

I'm so pleased for you.

You've been absolutely fantastic.

You've made such short work of it, haven't they, Lesley?

Very efficient.

Three numbers from four sets of questions.

Very, very well done.

I couldn't be more pleased for you, genuinely.

-Thank you.

-Thank you so much.

-Thank you, Lesley.

-Yes, thank you.

It's been great fun.

Caroline, Pam and Helen, you have managed to break The Code.

You've taken away £4,500.

Have a safe journey back to the Wirral.

-Thank you.

-And I wish you a very goodbye.

-Thank you so much.

-Thank you.

Come on, girlies. Let's go.

Let's go spend money!

Wow. There they go.

I mean, you know, fantastic quizzing skills and a whole lot of luck.

Big congratulations to Pam, Caroline and Helen,

taking £4,500 back to the Wirral.

Well, that is all we've got time for.

Lesley, how about that?

That was very exciting. Less than a 4% chance

of cracking that code on four correct answers.

Thank you to you, Lesley.

Please be sure to join us next time,

when we find out if our next team

have got what it takes to crack The Code

and win the cash.

Thanks for watching. Goodbye.
