Episode 16 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, though,

more money is added and the jackpot goes up and up.

Last time, we left Sue and Linda on a real cliff-hanger.

They've only got one number in the code left to find.

So, let's welcome them back.

-Sue and Linda, lovely to see you again.

-Hi!

-Welcome back, welcome back.

-Thank you.

-From Dudley in the West Midlands.

-Yes.

-And Derbyshire?

-Mm-hm.

And domestic goddess was your description of yourself.

-Still standing?

-Yes, just about.

-Just about!

-Yes.

-And volunteer centre manager, Linda, that's what you do?

-Yes, yes.

Now, what we saw last time was just how close your friendship is,

which was lovely to see.

-We haven't broken you apart, we haven't split you up yet.

-No.

-You are still in it together?

-Oh, yes.

How have you done it so far to get so close as this? What's the secret?

We haven't a clue, have we? Not really.

I think we just know an awful lot of things.

-I think you're right, I think you do know a lot.

-We don't know we know.

You don't know you know it. You've managed to bury it very, very deep.

-Yes.

-Is that unfair?

-No. I think we've been lucky.

-You think?

-Oh, God, yes.

-Are you ready to carry on?

-Yeah, go on.

-Yeah, go on, then!

Before we start, let's say hello to Lesley.

Hello, Sue and Linda. I hope the quiz gods are with you again today.

-Hope so.

-So, Sue and Linda, we are at the final stage of the game -

only one number remaining to put into the code.

And taking out £3,500.

You will get three answers, as normal, but you're only able to look

at the questions behind them one at a time, make a decision on those.

It is all or nothing - brutal sudden death. Can you cope with that?

-We'll try, won't we?

-Yes.

-That's all we can do.

-You're not getting too wound up or stressed out for me?

-No.

-No.

I'm getting that.

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

Only one of them is correct,

that's the one we're trying to find.

The order that you open these in now

-does become very important.

-Yes.

-Right.

-Shall we go Iceland first?

-Iceland, please.

-Iceland first.

Let's see the question behind Iceland.

Do I look blank?

Constantly!

Doesn't ring any bells for you?

-Is it ringing a bell with you?

-No.

-Right!

But when did we have the suffragettes?

When was it that we got the vote in this country?

-Could it have been then?

-First World War, I don't...

Which European country became the first in the world

in which women could both vote and stand for office?

I would say that then probably

-there with the...

-Iceland.

..more with-it countries.

Well, I've been, but I wish I knew.

I don't know anything about that at all.

So, what do you want to go for?

-I would plump for no, it's not true.

-Right.

But I'm not going, I'm not basing that on...

I'm dreading Rikki-Tikki-Tavvi,

I haven't got a clue on that one!

-What do you think?

-Shall we say no, then?

-No.

-No.

-We want to dismiss this?

-Yes.

As an incorrect answer?

Well, you know what? We've had a lovely day.

As long as you've had

a nice day. We have as well, we've loved having you here.

So, however this goes,

can we agree to part as friends?

Yeah.

We want to dismiss

this as an incorrect answer,

we want this to go red.

Oh, dear, please.

Iceland, please don't be so ahead of the curve.

Is this an incorrect answer?

-Do we get to hold on to Sue and Linda for a bit longer?

-Oh, no.

So we can look at the other ones.

-Make Iceland go red.

-Oh, dear.

I've got an idea it might go red.

-Oh!

-Oh, my God. You don't know.

I think you know, I think you know.

But we don't.

-But you don't know you know.

-Yeah.

Lesley, please.

Linda, you had an idea that this might be a Scandinavian country

rather than Iceland.

-It's Finland.

-Oh.

-I've been there as well.

-Right, thank you.

It means we can dismiss that,

-get rid of it.

-Oh, my word.

It leaves us with two - nutrients in diet and Rikki-Tikki-Tavvi.

One of them must be correct,

that's the one we're looking for.

Where do you want to go next?

We'll go for nutrients, please.

Let's have a look at the question behind nutrients in diet.

OK, I ought to know this.

-That's right, I think.

-You think that's right?

-They eat shrimps.

This is as positive as we've been for the whole game.

Well, I know because they've got them in Dudley Zoo. And...

-And they're pink.

-They're not, some of them, because I have...

-Seriously, I'm sure it's because they eat shrimps.

-Oh, fair enough.

I might be talking out the top of my head here, but I think...

Don't knock it, it's got you this far.

-I'll go with that.

-OK, flamingos are pink because of their shrimp diet.

We're going to lock that in as a correct answer.

-Prawns or shrimp?

-Prawns or shrimps, whatever.

-You think so?

We can't change that now.

-That's your decision.

-That's fine.

-It means we can have a look at Rikki-Tikki-Tavvi.

-Oh, go on, then.

-See if that makes you feel one way or the other...

-Go on, then.

..about the decision you've made.

The question behind Rikki-Tikki-Tavvi is...

Oh, what's that all about?

-Any idea at all there?

-No, not at all.

But you're very sure nutrients in diet is the correct answer,

that's why flamingos are pink.

I think so. We're starting to doubt that.

-No, I do believe that.

-You think that's right?

So, to give us the chance to put another digit into the code,

and there are only three left,

we want nutrients in diet to be the correct answer.

We want it to go green.

-I'm sorry if it's wrong.

-It's all right.

It's right. It's right again.

-Sue!

-I knew that.

-Oh, my life.

That one, you knew.

-I knew.

-And not only that, you knew you knew.

-Yes.

-Lesley?

Well done, Sue. Flamingo facts direct from Dudley Zoo.

Yes, flamingos do eat shrimp and algae and other things

that contain carotenoids that give them their pink colour.

Brilliant.

And the enemy of Babar is Rataxes, not Rikki-Tikki-Tavvi, who's

-a mongoose from the Jungle Book.

-Oh, Babar the elephant, yes!

-Babar the elephant.

-There you go.

OK, we have to pick another number to try and be

the last number in your code, so that the locks go back,

the wheel spins, the door opens and we get our hands on £3,500.

What number are we going for next?

I said nine before, didn't I?

Go with it, then. You said nine.

-529. Yes, we'll go nine, shall we?

-That feel good to you? 529.

We'll go with nine.

We're going to put nine into the code,

that's the one that you've chosen.

-Who's going to join me to put it into the keypad?

-No.

-Me, I'll go.

-Sue, join me at the safe.

-And then I'll run off if it's wrong!

Oh, no.

Brilliant. Sue and Linda, you've chosen the number nine.

If the last number in your code is nine,

you will go home with £3,500.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-This is the moment.

-Oh, dear.

Sue, punch in the number nine.

Round the numbers spin.

We want the number nine, we want your code to be 529,

so that the door swings open and you take home £3,500.

You have a massive celebration at Dudley Zoo.

-With the flamingo!

-That's what we want for you.

Oh, Ecky-Thump.

Ecky-Thump indeed, it's not the number nine. Just two digits left.

-Let's go and rejoin Linda.

-You couldn't write it, could you?

Couldn't write this. I can't believe how this is turning out.

But you've played brilliantly, mystically sometimes.

-Almost like magic. And you've only got two numbers left.

-Oh, dear.

Number three and number eight.

We might get down to the point where we don't have to

put the number in any more.

Because we know that's what it's going to be.

-Are you ready to see your next three answers?

-Yes, please.

-Here they are, Sue and Linda.

-Oh, no.

-Come on, then.

What?!

-Flaming hell, I don't think we'd better have him.

-Why?

-Cos he was a footballer.

-He's an actor, isn't he now?

Yeah, but he was a footballer, and they might be asking what sort of...

-Team he played for?

-And I ain't got a bloomin' clue.

One of them has to be correct,

that's the one we're looking for.

-This is it now.

-Puppetronics.

Shall we go with the Puppetronics?

Yes, Puppetronics, please.

-You want to go for Puppetronics?

-Yes, please.

Let's see the question behind Puppetronics.

Is that what he called it?

I don't know, that's the answer we've got to find. Puppetronics.

-Well, he could have done.

-No.

-What do you mean?

You're turning your nose up

at that one, Sue. Why?

He done it in the 1960s, did they have tronics in the '60s?

-Did they all have string?

-They were always like this, weren't they?

"Welcome home!"

You've got it, you've got it.

That's exactly how it was.

Yes, it was. Yeah, "Welcome home."

What was that? That was

Fireball XL5.

-Fireball XL5!

-You're showing your age now, Sue.

OK, is it Puppetronics?

I think it might be too early to call it that.

Don't forget, we're talking 50 years ago.

And tronics just seems like a more modern sort of

-a word.

-What do you want to do?

I don't know, I'll leave it with you.

-Whatever it is, we ain't going to fall out over it, aren't we?

-No.

What do you want to do, guys?

Yes, we'll go with it.

Lock in as the correct answer?

-Yes.

-It might be completely...

-Oh, sorry if it's wrong.

-Don't be saft.

-I'm sorry if it's wrong.

-Let's find out.

If this is correct,

we get the chance to put in one

of the last two digits of your code,

giving you a 50-50 crack at £3,500.

-If it's wrong, I'm afraid you're going home.

-Oh, dear.

-Oh.

-No.

I can't believe it.

-Sorry.

-No, don't be silly. Don't be silly.

I can't believe it. Lesley,

talk us through the answer.

Oh, Sue and Linda, I'm so sorry.

I think when I give you the correct answer, it might ring a bell.

The creator of Thunderbirds called his puppetry technique

Supermarionation.

-Oh!

-Oh, right.

-Coming from super, marionette and animation.

That's it.

You even remembered Fireball XL5.

Joe 90, another example of the use of that technique.

Let's have a look at the other questions and see

if you would have done any better with

those, not that that helps us now.

The Silk Road, let's have a look at that question.

-Silk Road, that's right.

-Is that right?

-Yeah.

You would have known that?

I would say that's right.

I mean, I don't know,

but I think that right.

OK, let's have a look at Vinnie Jones as well.

-Was it the...?

-No, Eric Cantona.

-Cantona, yes.

You think that was Eric Cantona? Lesley?

If you'd opened either of those first,

I think we'd be in a very different position now.

The ancient trade routes linking China to the West

had what collective name?

Yes, it was the Silk Road,

an important network of routes supporting the Chinese silk trade.

And the former footballer, you were absolutely right here,

it is Eric Cantona, not Vinnie Jones,

who also is in films like

Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, for example.

That must be gutting for you.

At the end of the day, it's the luck of the draw, and we didn't know it.

It was much more than luck, though. You played brilliantly.

You battled your way through each and every question

to get yourself within one number of opening the safe.

Honestly, you were absolutely brilliant.

Just for pig iron, tell me which number would you have chosen there?

-You had three and eight left.

-I don't want to know.

-You don't want to know?

-I do.

-I do.

-Number eight.

You were going to go for number eight.

Let's see if you would have taken it to the wire.

It was three! We would have gone all the way.

-You would have had to do another question anyway.

-That's it.

Do you know what, you've made us laugh so much

and you've given us such a giggle.

She'll not remember this by the morning.

THEY LAUGH

We've got to get home yet. She'll get lost on the train!

I have to say it, I'm afraid you have,

despite coming incredibly close, you've failed to break the code...

I know.

..Sue and Linda, and therefore you have to leave the game

and go back home.

But will you go with our best wishes?

-Thank you, nice to meet you.

-Thank you very much, thank you.

-Goodbye, Sue and Linda.

-Bye-bye.

-Oh, dear.

-Aw.

-Bye-bye!

-Oh, I don't know, that just doesn't feel right somehow.

They were so good. 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.

-Good to see you, gentlemen. Rakesh.

-Hi.

-Nice to meet you, and Nate.

-How you doing?

-How are you doing? All right?

-Yeah, good thank you.

Now, tell me about yourselves, where do you come from?

So, I come from Sri Lanka originally,

but I live in London now.

And, yeah, I've been in the UK now for just over ten years.

OK, how about you, Nate?

I am from Birmingham originally, via Leeds, now in London.

-OK, bit of a round trip them?

-Absolutely.

So, what do you do?

So I'm an engineer by training

and I work now for an electricity supplier in Camden.

-OK. How about you, Nate?

-I have my own photography company.

Photograph things like events, weddings, portraits,

stuff like that.

OK, what do you have in common?

What is it that you both get on and do together?

We do get along on the kind of entertainment, tech, food front,

I guess, and gym, fitness things as well.

-Food is a shared love, though, is that right?

-Yeah, absolutely.

So, are you a food critic? Is that right?

-I write reviews on restaurants and things that I go to.

-You, Rakesh.

-What do you go to? Are you a food critic?

-No, I'm just a food lover.

I'm trying to dabble in a bit of stand-up comedy now.

-You know, getting into doing that.

-That's hard, isn't it?

Yes, it's the mostly crippling self-doubt that's stopping me

at this point, but I think I'll eventually get over that.

Fantastic stuff.

Previously, Sue and Linda, despite an epic journey,

they failed to crack the code.

-Oh, no.

-That means another £500 goes into the safe,

making a total of £4,000, that's £2,000 each.

-That would be useful?

-Yeah, it would be very useful.

Rakesh and Nate, are you ready?

-Yes.

-Let's reset the code.

There we go, three blanks, we want to turn those into three numbers.

If you do that, you get to open the door, take away £4,000,

that's the way it works.

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

Remember, only one of those is correct,

that's the one that you're trying to find.

And at this point, you can open

all three answers

to reveal the questions.

The order doesn't matter

too much at this stage.

Where do you want to go first?

-Shall we go ten?

-Sure.

-Middle for the diddle?

-Yes.

Middle for the diddle, says Rakesh.

Let's have a look

at the question behind ten.

I'm not great on films, I'm afraid,

but ten - certainly not from the '50s.

But 10 Angry Men does have a...

It has a nice ring to it, absolutely.

But I don't know if that's one of those things that

it just might be something that's popped into my head just now

and I'm convincing myself that it's right.

-OK, well, we can open all of these, don't forget.

-I think that's best.

-Where would you like to go next?

-Let's try mercury.

OK, the question behind mercury, please.

Um, I don't... I think we're going

to have to go for Empire here

because that does sound

like a plausible answer again.

OK, Rakesh, Nate, let's have a look

at the question behind Empire.

Yes.

I think that's, yeah,

I think that's the right one.

Of the British Empire, isn't it?

So, is it Master

of the British Empire?

I don't know what the first letter stands for

but I'm pretty sure that BE

is British Empire.

I'm glad that that came up, to be honest,

because it seems like the most logical.

Let's go with Empire.

OK, we're going to lock that in

as our correct answer, the only one

of the three you think

could be correct.

We want it to go green. We want

to give you the best possible start

and a chance to enter

a digit into the code.

Is it the right answer?

-Yeah, well done.

-Oh!

Good stuff. Do you know what?

The celebrations to get over the first question

are almost as big as the ones when you win the money.

-I mean, I could just go home now.

-Yeah! Lesley?

That's right, Rakesh, you were straight in there,

very confident with your answer to that one.

Empire, as in Officer,

Member or Commander

of the Most Excellent Order

of the British Empire.

Looking at the other questions,

the planet which was identified

by Herschel in 1781.

Well, Mercury has been known since prehistoric times.

It's visible to the naked eye.

The correct answer here is Uranus.

Herschel spent most of his life in Slough,

and there are lots of things in that town named after him.

The Angry Men in the title of the 1957 American film, not ten,

-it refers to jurors trying to reach a unanimous verdict.

-Oh.

It's 12.

12 Angry Men. Thank you, Lesley.

Two relieved men, I would say, at this stage,

to get over that first one.

This is the easiest stage of the game. Will it stay that way?

It depends on what happens next.

You need to choose a number to go into the code.

The code is made up of three unique numbers.

-Which one do you want to choose?

-I would like to go with nine, please.

The number nine. Is it there?

Is it in the first box?

No.

Is it in the second box?

-No. Is it in the third box?

-Go on, go on.

Isn't there a nine? No number nine.

But listen, it's not negative, not entirely.

Because you've counted out the number nine,

you've only got nine numbers left,

and we're still playing the game at its easiest. OK?

-Are you ready for your next three answers?

-Yes.

-Let's have a look.

Going with the food kind of thread,

-shall we go with lasagne?

-Sure.

You said it's one of your strong points,

that's always dangerous!

Let's see the question behind lasagne.

I don't know, I mean, Welsh rarebit

is like cheese on toast

kind of stuff,

so I mean lasagne has cheese,

it has layers but I don't know,

I'd put that in the maybe category.

Well, don't have to make a choice just yet,

you can choose one of the other ones.

-OK.

-Beaver?

-Let's go for beaver.

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

Well, I mean, you would just

associate dams with beavers,

usually, don't you?

And I don't think that where

a beaver seeks refuge is

referred to a nest either.

So, let's go with banana,

see what we've got.

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

It sounds like a famous person's

child name or something.

But I'm not sure that it's...

-I think, I don't know.

-I don't know.

I don't think that

that is more plausible than

the beaver's nest question,

-to be honest.

-What have we got here?

You're looking at

all three questions.

Yeah, I think we can definitely

discount the lasagne question.

-You're happy to discount that?

-Yes.

Nate, are you happy to discount that?

I think they're all plausible at the moment,

-which I'm finding difficult.

-That's dangerous.

We need to find one correct answer.

Could have done with another OBE question here.

In reality, I think,

shall we go with lasagne?

That's the one that I would feel

most comfortable with.

I think in terms of a positive

feeling towards answers,

I've kind of talked myself out of

-the first two in my head.

-OK.

-I mean, Banana is a fantastic surname.

-It's a good food as well.

I'd love that as a surname.

And beaver's nest called a drey,

I think that's one of those

that have been crafted to look

clever, if you know what I mean?

-It could be right but...

-That's it.

I think Italian cheese on toast

is a great way to refer to lasagne,

and I'm going to be taking

-that away regardless.

-OK.

So, I think let's lock that one in.

I think so.

We're going to lock in lasagne

as a correct answer.

-Come on.

-Could be going home here.

Yeah, second question,

we're not sure about any of them.

But this is our strongest feeling,

Rakesh and Nate.

We want this to go green

to keep the boys in the game.

Is lasagne our correct answer?

-Oh, come on.

-Oh, you can do it.

You can do it!

Oh!

I am so sorry, it's not the right answer.

Let's have a look, let's see

which one of those three is correct.

-It's beaver, isn't it?

-It's banana!

-It's banana.

-Cheeky! Oh.

Lesley, talk us through these, please.

Banana?

Yes, Banana, the fabulous surname of Canaan Banana.

That's a great first name as well.

It would be. Banana Banana, wouldn't that be a wonderful name?

As as every other letter.

He passed a law, it's claimed, in 1982

banning people from mocking his surname.

And the animal with a nest

called a drey,

you didn't recognise this one, nothing ringing a bell.

-Is it like a vole or an otter or something?

-It's a squirrel.

-And a beaver, usually we say they live in a lodge.

-Right, OK.

Then the food

often marketed when it first came to Britain

as Italian Welsh rarebit, you were on the right lines, both of you,

saying that it was cheese related.

It might be a nice name

that you're going to take home

for calling a lasagne,

but it was a pizza that it was used for

to help people understand this new foreign food.

Pizza was the answer.

We wanted banana, but we had no bananas.

Unfortunately, that is the end of your journey today.

Well, thank you for having us.

It was a very quick visit, but it was lovely to meet you both.

And very good luck with the comedy.

-Thank you.

-And also with the food critic-ing.

-Thank you.

-OK, really lovely to meet you.

-Rakesh, and Nate.

-Cheers.

They've failed to break the code, so on this occasion, goodbye.

Goodbye. Thank you for having us.

Thank you.

Well, a lightning visit there for Rakesh and Nate, but their loss

is our next contestants' gain, because as always,

the money goes up.

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

Here they come - Denise, Mary and Craig. Lovely to meet you.

-Nice to meet you, Matt.

-The DMC.

-Yeah!

-Walk this way.

-Here you are, lovely to see you. Two of you are from Birmingham.

-Yes.

One of you claims to be posh and come from Worcestershire.

-Who's that?

-That would be me, Matt.

-That is you, Craig.

So, tell me about how you know each other.

We all work for the same bank. We're in administration.

We're all work colleagues, we're all friends.

Right, so when you say in administration,

not in administration, obviously.

-Not the bank.

-I'm so sorry to hear that.

-But can I call you bank clerks? Would that be accurate?

-You can.

-You're in the back office.

-We're in the back office.

Sorting things out, taking care of business.

Right, well, me tell me about how you come to be here today?

Cos work colleagues don't always get on.

-It was Denise who roped us two into coming along.

-Really?

And why did you do that, Denise? Are they good quizzers?

Do you think they'll know their stuff?

I think we're going to be awesome.

Team Awesome.

I won't be, they will, and I'm just here for the share of the money!

OK, if we win some money today,

-presumably you guys would know the best account to put that in?

-Yes.

Is that right?

-That would be my account.

-That would be, yeah!

Rakesh and Nate, who came before you, they failed, unfortunately.

So, that means another £500 goes in the safe.

Making a total of £4,500.

So, £4,500 is your jackpot, that's what you're looking to win today.

Let's reset the code.

Three blanks. We're looking for three numbers.

That's what you need if you're going to open that door.

-Are we ready, Team Awesome?

-Ready.

-Team Awesome!

Team Awesome, let's have a look at your first three answers.

As always, you're trying to find

the one correct answer.

At this point though,

you can open all three questions

behind those answers.

Which one do you want to try first?

-Bikini?

-Go on, we'll have bikini.

-Shall we go bikini?

-It's as good as one as any, so, yes.

Let's have a look behind the bikini.

Woo-hoo!

-I think that one...

-I think that one's correct.

I think bikini was named after something to do with nuclear...

-To do with an island.

-I'm sure it was.

Where do you want to go next?

-I've always liked sheep.

-OK, let's have a look

behind sheep for Denise.

-Isn't that a goat?

-Yeah, it's not a sheep.

-It's a goat, not a sheep.

-That one's wrong.

-Denise, you're pretty confident there.

Confident, we're all in that one.

-All in it together?

-We're in it together.

Let's open feathers.

Pangolins, I'm sure...

Is it like a little...

..mouse?

-OK.

-No, it's not like a mouse.

Pangolin?

I must admit, I've not heard...of that.

I have, I've heard of a pangolin, but I can't remember where.

We've got three answers there,

one of them must be correct,

that's the one we're after.

It's a small something.

-You're confident on the middle one, though?

-I think it's bikini.

I do, I really do.

We'll lock and load bikini as our correct answer.

If it is correct,

it'll turn up green.

It means we have the chance

to put our first digit into the code.

We want bikini to be the correct answer. Is it?

-Yeah! Woo!

-Good start.

Well done, Team Awesome. Lesley?

Great instincts, Denise.

You were right to say that bikini was the item of swimwear

-named after the Bikini Atoll.

-Yes.

The designer Louis Reard named it so in 1946,

because he hoped it would provoke a similarly explosive reaction.

The kind of animal which is a cashmere from which we get

Cashmere wool. Again, Denise, you were right there,

bang on with goat rather than sheep.

And pangolins all over their bodies, not feathers, but scales.

They're sometimes called the scaly anteater.

Oh, so it's an anteater?

Great work, Team Awesome.

It means we get the chance to put one number into the code

to see if it will stick.

Which one are we going to go for?

The code, remember, made up of three unique numbers.

Which one's it going to be?

We had a discussion already, Matt, and we are going to go for two.

Two is the first number you're going for.

Let's see, is the number two in Team Awesome's code?

Is it in the first box?

-Oh.

-No. Is it in the second box?

-Yes!

-Oh!

-It's not there.

-Is it in the third and final box?

-Please.

-Oh! Sorry.

-It's not there. But don't worry, don't worry. It's fine.

Because what we're doing is we're knocking out the numbers

early on in the game when we're still playing at the easiest level.

It can really work in your favour to do that

when we get later on in the game.

-Are we ready for our next three answers?

-I think so.

-Yes.

OK, here we go.

Of course,

we can open them in any order,

it doesn't really matter.

So, where do you want to start?

-Shall we just start at the top?

-Yeah, yeah.

-OK.

Let's go for the top one, 60 metres, please.

-60 metres, would they?

-No, they do in indoor athletics.

-Do they?

I was going to say,

I would never have known that.

It's whether it was that time...

-You heard of Maurice Greene?

-Yes.

Oh.

-Shall we open another one, would that help?

-Yes!

-Yes, please.

-Where shall we go next?

-Seven seconds?

-Seven seconds.

Let's open the question behind seven seconds.

No, that was... # 24 hours ago! #

THEY LAUGH

-I thought it was 21 Seconds.

-Oh, is it 21 Seconds?

-I was thinking 21 hours.

-I'm sure

it's longer than seven seconds.

Yes, seven seconds to go.

No, definitely wasn't seven seconds, it was 21 something.

-Shall we have a look at the question behind eight hours?

-Please.

I'm sure that's eight days.

Was it eight days?

The strongest one there for me would be the top one,

-cos they'd do run 60 metres in indoor athletics.

-Lady Jane Grey?

So, I know that the middle one is wrong.

Definitely, the middle one's definitely wrong.

And Lady Jane Grey, wasn't she...

..eight days or something?

Haven't you heard of that? Or am I just dreaming it?

-I've heard of her but...

-I'm sure.

-Happy if we go with the top one?

Let's just go with the top one.

If you feel more comfortable with the top one.

-And if it's wrong, I'm going to kill you.

-Oh, thank you.

Not really!

Already seeing rifts in the group.

-You OK? We're going with me on this one?

-What is de facto, first?

To monarch?

De facto means truthful or it's a fact.

-Well, we're OK if I lock in the first one?

-The first one.

We're going to lock in 60 metres

as a correct answer.

If it is a correct answer,

we get the chance to have a crack

at another digit on the code.

If not, Team Awesome is going home.

-No!

-Is 60 metres our correct answer?

-Yes! Woo!

-Good work.

-Big wave of relief.

-Good work.

Lesley,

talk us through these answers.

Yes, very well reasoned out. Craig, you were pretty sure about this one.

Maurice Greene set a world record in the 60 metres,

that record still stands.

And the number one UK hit single for So Solid Crew.

Again, Craig, you came right in there with this one.

21 seconds is their hit.

7 Seconds was a hit for Youssou N'Dour and Neneh Cherry.

Lady Jane Grey was de facto monarch.

Denise, you were asking what does de facto mean.

Craig, I heard you say in fact.

It means that she was monarch in practice rather than by law.

Not for eight days, which you said, but for nine days.

That's it, yes.

Right, nine days, there we go. Thank you, Lesley.

Good stuff, guys.

It really is awesome at the moment.

It means you get the chance to pick another digit to go into the code.

Two is gone, nine others left. What's the plan?

-Can we choose six, please?

-Come on.

Number six, let's see if it's there in the code for you guys.

-Is it in the first box?

-Yes.

No, it's not.

Is it in the second box?

-Oh, my God!

-One box left.

-Oh!

-There's no number six.

-Not doing well, are we?

Two and six both out of the count. DENISE LAUGHS

OK, are you ready for your next three answers?

-Yes.

-I think so.

-Yep.

-Let's have a look.

-Shall we start with Miss Marple? Yeah.

-OK.

Let's open the question behind Miss Marple.

It's either her or Poirot.

Mysterious Affair At Styles?

That is...

Have you ever read any?

I think I have read it, but I can't remember any of it, I'm sorry.

-We can open all of the questions at this stage.

-Yeah.

-Where do you want to go next?

-You've Got Mail?

-Second, yes.

Let's have a look behind You've Got Mail.

That's...that's definitely

-Sleepless In Seattle.

-OK.

Definitely Sleepless In Seattle?

I think it is, I'm positive.

I love the way... Denise,

you have a habit of being definite

and then shortly afterwards,

not quite as definite.

-Annie Reed, that is Sleepless In Seattle.

-OK.

-Happy to open Ireland?

-Yeah.

Give yourselves an idea,

-bit more context.

-Mary will know this.

Let's open the question behind Ireland.

It's green, white and gold, isn't it for Ireland?

Orange, I'm sure that the Ivory Coast

does have the same colours.

Gold, green and white?

I'm trying to think of the football team, their football strip.

-But you're confident on?

-Definitely Sleepless In Seattle.

Mysterious Affair At Styles could be Poirot.

And then that would be right, wouldn't it?

But then again, I can't remember.

I'm sure I've read The Mysterious Affair At Styles,

I'm trying to think what Styles is. Trying to remember the story.

-I can't.

-What do we want to do here?

-The Mysterious...

One of these must be correct,

that's the one we're looking for.

-You're not certain on the top one then, Denise?

-No.

Let's go with the bottom one.

We'll just go with the bottom one, yes,

cos we definite know it's Sleepless In Seattle.

And that could be Poirot.

Tell me which one we're going to lock in.

We'll lock in the bottom answer, please, Matt. Ireland.

We're going to lock in Ireland

as our correct answer.

We want this to go green.

-Yes!

-Yes.

-Good stuff.

-Yes!

Good stuff, do you know what?

You've got like a hive mind?

You're working together

to figure these things out.

You're clearly very good at work.

-I wouldn't say.

-Lesley?

Denise, you said you were along for the ride,

but you seem to be driving this.

The Irish flag is green, white, and orange.

The flag of Cote d'Ivoire is orange, white and green,

and the Irish flag is longer.

The Mysterious Affair At Styles was the first novel to feature -

exactly as you said, Denise - Poirot, rather than Miss Marple.

Miss Marple first appeared in The Murder At The Vicarage.

Told you.

And the film in which Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan played Sam Baldwin

and Annie Reed. Again, Denise, you led the way with this.

You knew that the film in the question was Sleepless In Seattle.

Thank you, Lesley.

A mixture of nailed-on knowledge,

hunches and sort of inklings

has got you through another round.

It's bought you the right to enter another digit into your code.

Which one is it going to be?

Yeah, I think we're going to go high, so we'll go for...

-Number nine?

-OK.

-Number nine.

-Come on!

-Is it there in your code?

Is it in the first box?

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

-Oh!

-It's not there either.

Is it in our third box?

-Oh, my God!

-Oh, no.

Seems to be the master plan is avoiding any numbers in the code.

-Yes.

-Are you ready for your next three answers, Team Awesome?

-Yes!

-Let's see them.

These look a bit trickier.

Well, we're going to open all of them, aren't we?

Could we just always start at the top and just work down?

It's a good a plan as any, I suppose.

OK, let's open

the question behind titanium.

As good a chance as any, it was only like my last answer.

-It was only four years ago, isn't it?

-I don't remember it.

-I think there was.

-Shall we open the next one?

Move on? OK.

Let's have a look at the question behind David Hockney.

-David Hockney?

-Again, art is not one of my subjects, but...

..I seem to think that he sort of worked more...

I don't think... Does he do landscapes?

I thought he was possibly more of a portrait artist.

See, I didn't think David Hockney... I thought he was a bit more modern.

-I haven't a clue!

-Shall we have a look at the...?

Have a look at the last one.

Let's have a look at the last question, six.

What's UFC?

-Ultimate Fighting.

-Oh, fighting.

You know, sort of no holds barred.

-Oh, so that's like what cage fighting?

-Cage fighting.

I would imagine it to be round,

I don't know why.

-It does have sides but...

-Does it?

It's a sport of ultimate fighting.

-OK.

-Doesn't feel like

any of these are nailed down.

No.

What's that the really old artist?

-You've covered lots.

-Who painted landscapes and he did the hay bay.

-Hay Wain.

-Constable.

That was Turner, Constable or Turner.

Yeah, so was that the Essex-Suffolk border?

I thought David Hockney was more of a portrait artist.

So, do we reckon it's not him?

So, it's between the top one...

So, you think there was a recent metallic

UK hit single, Titanium?

I don't recognise that.

I haven't got a clue how many sides this cage has.

Oh, I'm really sad.

If it was like six, it would be sort of a hexagon.

Hexagon but I can't picture.

-But you remember a single?

-Well, I think I do.

-Do you want to just go with one?

-Let's go.

Are you confident to go with me, Mary?

I'd be sad if this is what we're out on.

Which one do we want to lock in?

Shall we just pick? Yeah.

We're going to lock in the top

answer please, Matt. Titanium.

Want to lock in

Titanium as our correct answer.

If it is correct, you get to choose

another number to go into your code.

Titanium, go green.

-Please, please, please.

-Please, please.

-Yes! Well done, Mary!

-HE LAUGHS

-Yes!

-Well done, team!

Lesley?

Very well worked out. Yes, you remembered that Titanium was a song.

It was a hit for David Guetta, featuring Sia.

Titanium, atomic number 22.

There's another hit with the title that is an element,

Gold by Spandau Ballet.

And for the next question, the paintings of the English artist.

Denise, you began to say Hay Wain. Craig, you came in with Constable.

John Constable is the correct answer to that question.

And in the sport of UFC, that's the Ultimate Fighting Championship,

the cage doesn't have six sides.

It's not a circle, as you were wondering, but it has eight sides.

It's an octagon.

Thank you very much, Lesley.

So, Craig, please pay more attention in your next fight.

I will do, will do!

Well, talking of titanium, you lot are bulletproof, nothing to lose,

to quote the lyrics of the song. It's time to pick another number.

You've gone through three, skilfully avoiding the code.

THEY LAUGH

-What's it going to be next?

-Shall we go for five?

Yeah, cos I think you were mentioning that before, so, yes.

Five. We're going to go for number five.

If you manage to avoid the code again, I might chuck you out myself.

Here we go! Is the number five in the first box of your code?

It's not there. Is it in the second box of your code?

-Please, please.

-It's not there!

Is number five in the third box of your code?

Oh!

No!

OK, we'll have to call your team Awesome At Answering Questions.

Team Not So Great At Finding Numbers.

Look at the ones we've been through - two, five, six, nine.

None of them in your code.

But that means we get to carry on playing

the game at the easiest level.

It's not a bad way... KLAXON BLARES

That sound means, unfortunately, we have to stop right there.

Just as we were getting going and achieving very little.

THEY LAUGH

But a terrific effort, Team Awesome, so far.

Do you think you can keep it up?

-Yes!

-I think so, yes.

Well, let's hope so. Please join us next time.

Thank you very much, Lesley.

-Amazing facts, as always.

-You're very welcome.

Please be sure to join us next time, when Denise, Mary and Craig -

Team Awesome - return and we find out

if they have what it takes to crack the code and win the cash.

-Yes!

-Thanks for watching.

Goodbye.
