Episode 19 The Code

Hello, and welcome to The Code.

Locked inside this safe is £3,000.

To open the safe and win the money,

contestants just need to crack a three-digit code.

But each time someone fails, more money goes into the safe

and the jackpot gets higher and higher.

Let's meet our next contestants hoping to crack the code.

Lovely to see you. Come in, come in. Hello, Sarah. How are you?

-Fine, thank you.

-And Andy. Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.

Now, I understand you're both living in London at the moment,

-but originally from Stockton-on-Tees.

-Yeah.

-And Glasgow.

-That's right.

-Right. OK.

So, you're a couple. Tell me how you met.

We met studying chemistry at Edinburgh University.

Did your eyes meet across a crowded laboratory?

-Is that the way it works?

-It was more like a cup of coffee.

OK. And what do you do now?

I'm still studying, actually. I'm just getting to the end of my PhD.

Is that like a lifetime's work, to get to that point?

It's quite a bit of work, yeah. Longer than it should've been.

It feels like a lifetime, yeah.

Go on, run the title past me just in case I understand what it's about.

It's Nanoengineered Polymer Materials

for Targeted Drug Delivery.

Yeah, obviously. I'm all over that.

Andy, how about you? What do you do?

I'm a clinical trial manager for cancer research.

-Right. Serious business.

-Yeah.

-Good stuff.

And what do you do when you're not working?

We've done a lot of travelling together.

We lived in Australia for a few years, and we've been out to Fiji -

that's probably our favourite.

And while we're travelling, there's a lot of sport to watch as well.

Massive sports fans.

So, when it comes to the subjects that might pop up in the quiz today,

-sport, we think we've got that covered.

-Yeah.

It's always dodgy to say something like that, though.

It can be. What else...? I mean, I'm working on the basis

-science might be a strong subject for you?

-Hopefully, yeah.

Hopefully not a stumbling block.

-Another potential banana skin, but, yeah.

-Right.

OK. Well, we'll see what comes up.

Last time, Terry and Andy from Somerset, from Yeovil,

they cracked the code. They walked away with £6,500.

We now restart the jackpot, therefore, at £3,000.

All you need to do to win the money is enter a three-digit code.

Each time, you just have to pick the correct answer.

Then you get to select a number between zero and nine

and the computer will reveal whether or not it's in the code.

But be warned - if at any point you pick an incorrect answer,

that's it, it's back to your thesis, back to your sport.

It's instant elimination. It's quite brutal like that.

An easy game to play, but quite a hard game to win.

-Are you ready? BOTH:

-Yeah.

-Good. Let's reset the code.

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

Remember only one of

those is correct. That's the one

you're trying to find.

At this point, you can open

all three answers to reveal the questions.

Which one would you like see first?

-Start with the top, yeah?

-Yeah.

Nose, please.

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

What part of the body goes after blue

-in the name of a wireless data exchange method?

-Right...

That'd be Bluetooth, yeah.

Sounds like it should be tooth.

So that could be good news.

Could see that.

Do you want to look at orchid?

-Orchid, please.

-Yes, please.

Let's reveal the question

behind orchid.

I'm pretty sure that this could be

the correct answer, actually,

because I watched

a programme about gardening

for food, and I think that's a fact

I learnt from that programme

last year.

-You're feeling like that's the one that could go green.

-I think so.

-Have a look at the last one anyway.

-Yes, please.

Eight's before five, isn't it?

E before F, so that's wrong as well.

-Yeah.

-Good stuff.

-OK. Do you want to lock in one of those as correct?

-Yeah.

Orchid, yeah?

Lock in orchid as correct.

If it is correct, it'll go green

and it'll give you, Sarah and Andy,

the chance to put your first digit

into the code to see if it sticks.

Is orchid our correct answer?

That's a great start. Well done.

It is green. It is correct. Lesley.

Sarah, you remembered seeing something about orchids

in a TV programme, and that turned out to be right.

Orchids were known by the Aztecs as a way of flavouring things.

The part of the body that goes after blue

in the name of a wireless data exchange method.

Straight away, you recognised that this was Bluetooth, not bluenose.

Named after a 10th-century king of Denmark, Harald Bluetooth.

And if you were to spell out the numbers one to ten,

first alphabetically.

Andy, you were right in there with eight as the correct answer.

-Last in that list would be two.

-Very confident.

Buys you the chance to choose one digit

to enter into your code.

The first one. They're all there, zero to nine.

Which one do you want?

-You pick.

-I think four for the first one, please.

They're going to try four. Three unique numbers in the code.

Is the number four one of them?

Let's find out if it's in the first box.

No. Is it in the second box?

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

No number four. But it's discounted now.

It's out of commission

and you're still playing the game at the easiest stage

-where you can see all the questions at the same time.

-Very true.

Are you ready to see your next three answers?

-Yeah, let's see them.

-Yes, please.

-Let's have a look.

We'll start with the football,

-then, please.

-I thought we might.

I think Q's a music magazine.

I would say it was music, yeah.

-Yeah.

-I don't think that's right.

-OK.

-We'll see...look at waxing next.

Let's have a look at

the question behind waxing.

I mean, waning suggests...

-Away from.

-..dying out, doesn't it?

So maybe if it's approaching

full moon, maybe that's correct.

Yeah, I like the look of that one.

So, pretty sure about the first one.

More than an inkling about

-the second one. A hunch?

-A hunch.

I don't know what's bigger.

Is an inkling bigger than a hunch?

-Is that another question?

-No, no.

Don't worry. We'll deal with that later.

Shall we look at the question behind silicon?

-Yeah.

-Yeah, let's do it.

-No, it's chlorine.

-I'm happy with

chlorine for that one, yeah.

We need to choose the one

correct answer there.

We'll lock in waxing, please.

We're going to lock in waxing

as our correct answer.

Based on the fact you think Q

is a music magazine. Your chemistry

degrees are telling you

that silicon doesn't kill

bacteria in swimming pools.

We want it to go green.

Is waxing our correct answer?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Nice one.

-Nailed it.

Well done, Sarah. Well done, Andy.

Yes, you fixed on the answer to that one quite quickly.

The word describing the appearance of the moon from Earth

when it's approaching full moon.

As you said, waxing,

not waning, which is when it's moving away.

And the magazines Mojo, Uncut and Q,

you recognised immediately as music magazines

and nothing to do with football.

And the chemical element.

Not silicon, which you might find in swimming pools

in sealants around the tiles, for example,

but atomic number 17, chlorine.

OK, Sarah, Andy, it's time to pick a number.

Four isn't there. We know that.

We still want to find the first number in your code.

Nine left. Which one next?

-You going again?

-No, you can choose this time.

Let's have number lucky seven, please.

OK, the number seven. Is it there in our code?

Let's have a look at the first box.

There's no number seven. How about the second box?

It's not there. Is seven in the third box?

No number seven.

So, two numbers down, still nothing in your code,

still at the level of the game where you get to see

all the questions and answers together.

OK, if you're ready, Sarah and Andy,

let's have a look at your next answers.

Start with the top one, as usual?

I do know the song,

but I don't think that's going to

-help us here, like.

-No.

-OK.

We better move onto its speed.

I think I've seen that number

before on the engines.

I think that is top speed.

It was, like, 125mph.

Seems like...a fast train.

-I think that...

-Yeah.

-..looks right,

but we'll look at the last one.

Happy to look at the question behind Lenin, please.

Lenin was World War I...

and Stalin was World War II.

So that's definitely wrong.

-Erm...

-Right.

What you think about the 125?

I think that might be the way to go,

-because...

-Because that's

not the distance between

London and Scotland, is it?

-That's like 400 miles.

-No.

And it's not a ludicrously

fast speed either.

And I'm just thinking, wasn't it

Uncle Stephen in Fresh Prince?

-Oh, no, that was Uncle Phil.

-Mm-hm.

Do remember Fresh Prince?

I do, yeah. I watched it a lot.

but I just can't think...

I don't remember him ever being

referred to as Steven.

Which way are you guys leaning?

What do you want to do?

-I think the train.

-Right.

-The speed one.

-OK.

-We'll lock that in.

-Yeah.

As the correct answer.

We're going to lock in its speed.

If it's correct, it means

it will turn green and you

get the chance to choose another

number to see if it's there

in your code.

If it's not correct, it goes red

and we have to say goodbye.

-Got it. Well done.

-Phew!

That was close.

A little bit of a relief, that one.

-It was a bit, yeah.

-Lesley.

A lot less certain that time.

Yes, Andy, you said that you remembered 125

being on some trains that you'd seen.

You were absolutely right.

The 125, British Rail's high-speed train

which could go higher than 125mph,

but usually operated at those speeds in normal service.

In the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,

the name of the character played by Will Smith.

He was called Will Smith.

Very fortunate that he got that role.

And the Soviet leader during World War II. Not Lenin.

Andy, you said you thought Lenin was from before this period.

That's correct. The answer is Stalin.

You got that one spot on. Not just knowing it

was wrong, but providing the correct answer

which buys you the chance to choose another digit in your code.

-Where are we going next?

-Can I choose?

-Yeah, go for it.

-Right, I fancy three this time.

-We fancy three.

OK, let's see if three is in the code.

Is it there in the first box?

There is a number three. In the first box.

No messing around there.

That means you have got the first number in your code.

That means we move onto the next level

and things get a little bit harder here.

As before, you will see all three answers.

But this time, you'll only be able to see two questions

before you have to commit and make a decision.

-All clear?

-No problem. Yeah.

-Yeah.

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

What's caiman again? That's the...

-animal.

-A type of crocodile, yeah.

The Shamen, we know who that is.

We know Jens Lehmann.

It does become more important now

which order you choose

-your questions.

-Yeah.

We'll take Jens Lehmann first.

Let's have a look at the question behind Jens Lehmann.

Wouldn't it have been Seaman?

Yeah, I think '97/'98

was Seaman, and then Lehmann

wasn't around till the Invincibles,

till, like, '04.

Or the Double in '02.

I don't think that's right.

-I think David Seaman.

-Yeah. OK.

-OK.

OK. We can open another one before we have to make

a decision here.

Which one do you want to go for?

The Shamen, please.

I've done a bit of research into

-The Shamen recently.

-Have you now?

-How did that come about?

-Cursory.

Because one of my colleagues

had never heard the song

-Ebeneezer Goode.

-Right.

And she's Italian,

and I introduced it to her. So

there's been a lot of talking about

that. I almost get the feeling...

Is this possibly why your thesis

has been taking so long?

Cos you're researching

-early '90s dance acts?

-Possibly,

and not very thoroughly as well.

Because I don't actually know

the answer to this. But I get the

feeling, from what I did find out,

they were pretty one-hit wonder-ish.

-I don't know, though.

-I think we

should get rid of Jens Lehmann. And

put The Shamen up against caiman.

We want to reject Jens Lehmann

-as an incorrect answer.

-Yeah.

If this is a correct answer,

if Jens Lehmann was that goalie,

'97 to '98,

then I'm afraid you're going home.

Nice one.

-Well done.

-Good.

You were saying David Seaman.

-Lesley, is that true?

-Absolutely right, Andy.

You said David Seaman.

Safe Hands Seaman was the right answer.

Jens Lehmann was the first choice goalie for the 2003-04 season

when Arsenal were the Invincibles,

undefeated winners of the Premier League.

Thank you, Lesley. That means we can get rid

of that as an incorrect answer.

It leaves us with two,

and we can have a look at the question behind caiman.

Well, we both said crocodile when it came up, didn't we? Now...

The only thing I'm worried about is South America. Is it...?

You don't get... What's the...?

You don't get them in Florida or that? No, that's alligators.

-They are alligators.

-Right. Erm...

So going back to The Shamen question, that Out Of Space song.

I think it was The Prodigy, then. It's ringing around in my head.

You know, the one with the big "boing!" Yeah, yeah.

-I'm singing it in my head as well.

-Yeah.

The first instinct with the caiman was that it's a small alligator.

-Yeah.

-So we'll put that in as correct, yeah?

-Yeah.

-Right.

-Happy to do that?

-Yeah, that's what we're going to do.

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

We want it to go green.

We want it to give you a chance

to put another digit into the code to see if it sticks.

You've got one there already.

We want another one if we can get it.

-Yes, nice one.

-Fantastic.

-Yes.

-You've got it.

-You said that as soon as you saw it come up, didn't you?

-Yeah.

Yes, your immediate instinct was that

the caiman is a kind of crocodile, and that's absolutely right.

Coming from the same derivation as the Cayman Islands.

And the dance act that had hits in the early '90s.

Sarah, you remembered The Shamen had a hit with Ebeneezer Goode.

They did not have hits with No Good - Start the Dance

and Out of Space,

which belonged to, as Andy said, The Prodigy.

It's the correct answer that

you've chosen. That means you get the chance

to pick another digit for the code.

Which one do you want?

-You can choose.

-Me this time? Let's have number five, please.

Number five. Is number five in the code?

Is it there in your second box?

No. Is it there in the third and final box of the code?

It's not there. Four numbers down, though.

Still playing at a relatively easy level of the game.

-Feeling good?

-Yeah.

-Definitely.

-Feeling very good.

If you are ready, let's have a look at the next three answers.

As before,

you can look at two

before you have to make a decision.

Love Never Dies - that's a musical,

-isn't it?

-It's like the second

Phantom of the Opera, isn't it?

-But it could be something else.

-Could be.

Shock and Awe reminds me of, like,

George Bush,

Afghanistan type things.

What was...?

What was the first Gulf War?

-Desert Storm?

-Yeah, yeah.

And almond.

Don't know anything, but...

you use them.

Where do you want to start, then?

Probably start with Love Never Dies.

Please.

Let's open the question behind Love Never Dies.

-The musical.

-I remember the musical

being advertised, but I don't

remember the slogan.

Is it jumping out at you, that one?

I don't know. Yeah.

Which one do you want, then?

Oh, I don't know.

-Almond?

-Yeah, why not?

-OK.

Go with Almond for the next one.

We're going to open

the question behind almond.

Right. Well, I remember the advert.

Do you remember the advert where

they were dancing on someone's desk?

-Yeah.

-"Hunky chunky almonds -

"they're the secret of my beauty."

That's a good unearthing of

a bit of knowledge right there.

-So...

-OK.

-So I think...

Shall we get rid of Love Never Dies

-and look at the other one?

-Yeah.

-Yeah, to be on the safe side.

-Yeah.

You're happy to reject

Love Never Dies?

-You think it's an incorrect answer?

-We think that is incorrect.

OK, we want it to turn red

so we can concentrate on

Shock and Awe. Have a look at

the question behind that.

Is it the incorrect answer?

Got it.

-Nice one.

-Brilliant. Lesley.

Yes, it's not Love Never Dies,

-but We Will Rock You being the title and the promise.

-Right.

-That's more embarrassing cos we've seen that.

-Yeah.

Let's get rid of it.

It's an incorrect answer,

and let's look at the question behind Shock and Awe.

-So we've already said that...

-That we think that's Desert Storm.

-Shock and Awe was later than that.

-Yeah.

We need to lock in one of those as our correct answer.

-Right.

-Almonds, please.

-We'd like to lock in almond, please.

Let's lock it in.

If the song is right - or if Sarah's remembered it correctly - it will

turn green.

Is almond our correct answer?

-It is. You remembered it so well.

-Well done, Sarah.

Recalling that old advert has led you to the correct answer here.

A lot of people would say it's a hazelnut from the taste,

but it is an almond. The reason

nut's in quotation marks there

is that an almond's not a true nut - it's a drupe.

And the code name of the combat phase in the Gulf War of 1991.

I heard you say this when Shock and Awe came up as an answer,

let alone the question.

Sarah, you said Desert Storm, and that's the right answer to this.

Wow. OK.

-So an almond, not a nut. Who knew.

-Who knew.

We now have just six numbers.

-Where do you want to go?

-My turn?

-Yeah.

-I'll go for number six, please.

-Number six.

Is number six there in our code?

Is it in the second box?

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

-No number six.

-No.

OK. So shall we have a look at your next three answers?

-BOTH:

-Yes, please.

I'm hoping Hunter's the Gladiator,

cos I remember that show.

They're all pretty generic this time, aren't they?

What you want to start with?

-Keyboard? Yeah.

-OK.

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

-Any ideas?

-None.

-Me neither.

-Not sure about that.

-No.

Sounds like it could be a kind of

you know...harpsichord type

-little one.

-Yeah.

-Could be.

Don't have to decide either way.

We can open another one.

-Hunter?

-Yeah, go on, then.

-OK.

-Hunter, please.

-Let's have

a look at the question behind Hunter.

-That's Wolf.

-Is it?

-I think.

-Yeah.

-Right, OK. Well...

You're thinking that maybe Hunter

is an incorrect answer.

I think we get rid of Hunter.

-Right.

-OK?

-OK. Yeah.

We're going to reject

Hunter as an incorrect answer.

You think Michael van Wijk, Andy,

was actually Wolf. We're hoping,

we're praying that's the case.

Well done.

-Yes.

-Good stuff.

-That is a relief.

It wasn't a waste of time watching

Gladiators at all. Lesley.

Well done, Andy. Yes, he is Wolf and not Hunter.

Hunter was James Crossley.

Let's get rid of that as

an incorrect answer,

and let's have a look at the question behind down.

So...the Giant's Causeway is on the coast, the bit nearest Scotland.

That's all I can help you with. I don't know the counties.

Do you know any? What else is there?

-I was expecting something great coming next.

-County Antrim.

County...Tyrone.

County Down? Where's that?

Right, back to the other one. The clarinet is a woodwind

instrument, but what kind of instrument is a clavinet?

I don't have anything else for a clavinet.

I don't have any other suggestions.

Could it be a brass instrument?

Could be, couldn't it? Yeah.

We've no idea on Northern Ireland, hey?

-No.

-We've got two questions there.

We're pretty much in the dark on both of them.

-Pretty much.

-Absolutely.

-This is the first time

we've been in that situation, you guys.

It is, yeah. It's not a nice feeling.

You've been so confident up to now.

I think we go with the bottom one.

-The keyboard.

-Right, do it.

-The keyboard, please.

-Lock it in.

We're going to lock in clavinet as being a keyboard.

We want that to be the correct answer.

If Sarah and Andy are going to carry on

this chemistry that's taken them this far,

let's see if it can take them further.

Keyboard must be the correct answer.

-Oh!

-It is.

-Yes.

-Lucky.

-That was lucky.

-Phew!

-Lucky. Lucky.

-Lesley.

-That's right.

A clavinet is a type of electronically amplified clavichord.

And the county of Northern Ireland

in which you'd find the Giant's Causeway.

Andy, you mentioned Antrim.

That's the correct answer.

Legend says that it's a route carved out by an Irish giant

going on his way to fight a Scottish giant.

-It worked. Whatever it was...

-We scraped through.

You scraped through that one. And it buys

you the chance to put another digit into the code.

Three's already up there. There are only five left.

-Is it me?

-It's you.

-Let's have the zero, please.

The zero is going into the code.

Is it there? In the second box?

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

No zero. But look, here's where we are.

-Only four digits left on the keypad.

-Yeah.

-Two spots left in the code.

If you can answer four questions correctly,

the jackpot is yours.

Look at it that way and you're very, very close.

-Are you ready to see your next three answers?

-Yes, please.

Here they are.

Right. So...Achtung Baby is

-the U2 album.

-Yeah.

-I don't know

-any more details about it.

-No.

-When it was or...

-Six.

-Hopefully a king.

-A king.

-That would be good.

-New Statesman.

There's that Rik Mayall show,

and then...

It's a publication as well, though.

And a publication, of course.

I knew that.

What do you fancy, then?

Start with the six, hey, and see...

-Yeah, yeah.

-Yeah.

Start with the number six.

We're going to start

with the number six in Roman numerals.

Four. So that's sorted.

So that's definitely wrong.

So which one do you think?

-Doesn't matter.

-Achtung Baby.

-Do it.

Let's open the question behind

Achtung Baby.

Do you recognise

the songs? One, Mysterious Ways...

I know One. Yeah.

-Are they recent or...?

-No.

Cos Achtung Baby was in the '80s,

-wasn't it?

-Yeah.

What was their first...?

Was The Joshua Tree their first one?

Something like that, yeah.

Well, anyway, we can get rid of...

Just double check cos William IV...

So that's definitely wrong. Yeah.

-So six is an incorrect answer.

-OK.

We're going to reject

six as an incorrect answer.

We want that

to go red to allow us

to look behind New Statesman.

Got it right. Well done. Lesley.

Yes, Andy, you immediately said the correct answer to this one.

William IV.

William died with no surviving legitimate children,

-so his niece Victoria took the throne.

-Good stuff.

We can get rid of that as

an incorrect answer

and look at the question behind New Statesman.

-Not Rik Mayall, unfortunately.

-Yeah.

Boris Johnson editing a magazine. Does that...does that ring a bell?

Not to me. I mean, I know he writes columns.

I get the feeling that he probably does edit something,

but...the question's more is it this?

I don't know.

Why does Boris Johnson in The Spectator come to mind?

I don't know.

One of them must be correct. That's the one we're looking for.

So do you think, then, we go that Achtung Baby is the correct answer?

Yeah, I think so. I think so.

Something like that.

-OK. So...shall we go with that, then?

-Yeah.

-What do we want to do?

-We'll lock in Achtung Baby.

-We're going to lock in

Achtung Baby as the correct answer.

We want that to be the correct answer.

If it is, we've only got four numbers left on the keypad.

Is Achtung Baby the correct answer?

-Oh!

-Yes!

Yeah, the relief at this stage.

-It's some serious relief.

-That one came quicker.

Here's one where I think you knew more about the wrong answer

than the right answer on the board.

One and Mysterious Ways are from Achtung Baby,

which was recorded in Berlin and released in 1991.

It was meant to be inspired by

the reunification of East and West Germany.

And the political magazine edited by

Nigel Lawson, Dominic Lawson, Boris Johnson, now Fraser Nelson.

Andy, you said the right answer to this one. It's The Spectator.

There you go. It was lingering in the recesses of your mind

and you pulled it out at just the right moment.

Now, very exciting. Here we are. Four numbers left on the keypad.

-Where are you going to go next?

-Any strong feelings?

-No, go for it.

Just want me to choose one?

-Right, let's have number two.

-Number two.

If it's there, you're getting very, very close to the £3,000 jackpot.

Sarah and Andy, is the number two in the second box?

No. Is it there in the third box?

-Yes!

-It is.

-Howay.

-You've done it.

Three-blank-two is your code.

Only three numbers left.

You're getting really close to this now.

You're doing brilliantly well through knowledge,

and deduction when you haven't got the knowledge.

Now, it does mean that there's just one number left to find,

and that means the game moves on to the next level.

At that level, things do get more difficult.

Again, you'll see all three answers to start with.

This time, you can only look at one question at a time, yeah?

Before you have to commit

and either say that's the correct answer or reject it.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah, let's do it.

-As we'll ever be, I think.

We're going to concentrate, we're going to focus,

we're going to have a look at our next three answers.

Of course, the order that you

choose them in now is crucial.

Which one do you fancy the most?

-None of them.

-OK. That's good.

-Right.

-At least that's honest.

-Let's...

-Why, what should we do?

-I think Jersey.

-Right. Go Jersey.

-We'll go Jersey.

-Yeah.

-Let's have

a look at the question behind Jersey.

I'm pretty sure

-they have cars on Jersey.

-I've been,

and I think there's cars on Jersey.

I was in a car on Jersey.

I would've thought it would've been

the little ones that have

banned cars, and they were looking

-for the biggest one of those.

-Yeah.

I'm happy to say that's incorrect.

OK. We're going to mark that down

as an incorrect answer.

You don't think Jersey's

banned cars. Therefore we want

to see this turn red.

Give us a chance to look at

one of the other two.

-Yes, nice one.

-Absolutely right.

You've been in a car on Jersey.

That really helps.

Yes, Sarah and Andy, that certainly helped you out with this one.

Jersey, there are cars there.

The correct answer is Sark.

They do have farm tractors on Sark, but no other vehicles.

People go around in horse and carts and bicycles.

That's great, Sarah and Andy, we can get rid

of that as an incorrect answer. It leaves us with two, one of

which must be correct.

That is the one we're trying to find.

Where do you want to go next?

-I think we've got more of a chance with Basset.

-Yeah.

We'll go with Bassett, please.

-The ship was definitely the Beagle.

-Yeah.

-And the dog was a beagle.

-Yeah.

-Good. Nice one.

So we'll put that as incorrect.

OK, we are going to mark that as incorrect.

You've come to a very quick decision.

-Definitely, mate.

-OK, it means we can't change our minds,

therefore we can open Bernard and Lydia,

see how it makes you feel - happy, or slightly sick.

It's a while since I've seen that, so I would've been guessing. You?

-Never seen it.

-OK. Well, it's academic.

It doesn't matter because you've made your choice.

Is Basset the incorrect answer?

-Nice.

-Yes.

-Howay.

-Well done.

Andy, you said Beagle.

I think you both knew that Beagle was the name of the ship

that took Darwin to the Galapagos and Tahiti.

And Charlie Brown's dog, Snoopy, a beagle.

In Four Weddings And A Funeral, whose is the second wedding?

Well, the first wedding is Angus and Laura,

and Bernard and Lydia get together at that wedding.

The third wedding is Carrie and Hamish. That's in Scotland.

And the fourth is Charles and Duckface Henrietta.

Thank you, Lesley.

"Duckface." How unfortunate.

Only three digits left on the keypad.

Only one space in the code left to fill.

Which number's jumping out at you? Which one do you fancy?

-Is this the one I pick?

-Yeah.

-Eight.

-Eight? Right.

You're going to go for number eight.

Who's going to punch the number in?

Sarah normally takes charge of the money,

so she should take charge of the numbers.

-Sarah, if you're ready...

-Yeah.

-..let's make our way to the safe.

There's £3,000 in there, Sarah.

Tell me how much difference that money would make to you right now.

Oh, a massive difference.

Yeah, we've got a lot of things coming up.

We're going to a wedding that's handily in Palm Springs,

and we intend to get married at some point ourselves.

-So £3,000 would be extremely helpful.

-OK.

Well, let's see if we can help you on your way now.

You've done all the hard work yourself.

All we have to do now is punch in the number eight.

-Right.

-Away you go.

Round the numbers spin.

Three-blank-two.

Is it an eight? Is it three-eight-two?

The code that allows Sarah and Andy to take away £3,000.

Let's find out.

-Yes!

-Oh, my God!

Brilliant!

-Well done.

-Fantastic.

-Fantastic work.

-Oh, my God. I can't believe it.

-Open the door.

Don't just leave it there. It's waiting.

-In you go.

-Look at it.

-There we go.

Three grand. There you go, Andy, Sarah.

Let's make our way back there.

-Well done.

-Nice one. Thank you very much.

-Well...

-I can't believe... I actually can't...

-I can't believe it.

-She can't believe it.

-All right, all right.

-Which bit can't you believe?

I just came here today thinking, "Oh, it'll be a bit of a laugh."

I honestly did not think we'd get to this point, I really didn't.

-Thank you so much.

-We just didn't want to make a fool of ourselves.

Yeah, to not make fools of ourselves.

You did anything but make fools of yourselves. Quite the opposite.

Lesley, I mean, less foolish people, you couldn't see.

Yeah, that's right.

Just the right blend of knowledge and astute guesswork.

-Very, very well done.

-BOTH:

-Thanks very much.

-Wow. So this is it. Palm Springs, that can happen?

-Yeah.

And you guys are getting hitched as well.

-I mean, I can't think of a nicer way to spend the money.

-No.

-BOTH:

-That'll be fantastic.

Listen, Sarah and Andy, we're so chuffed for you.

-Thank you very much.

-Congratulations.

-Thank you so much.

-Thank very much. Good man.

-Cheers.

And, well, you managed to break the code.

Well done, thanks for playing, and goodbye.

-Bye-bye.

-Cheers, Matt.

Well, they couldn't have been more chuffed, could they?

The chemistry was certainly working for Sarah and Andy,

who walk away with £3,000.

The jackpot's been won.

That means a fresh £3,000 goes into the safe.

So, let's find out who's hoping to repeat the success Sarah and Andy

and break that code.

-Ahmed, how you doing?

-OK.

-Good to see you. Welcome to the show.

-Thank you.

All the way from Liverpool. Is that right?

Originally from Liverpool, but currently living in Hampshire.

And what do you do in Hampshire?

I'm a secondary school teacher in a boarding school.

-Is it mixed or...?

-It's mixed, yeah. It's a mixed boarding school.

We take students from 11 to 18, so bags of energy...yeah.

Tell me about yourself. Do you have family?

Yeah, I've got two brothers, older and a younger brother,

and they're all spread out around the world at the moment.

And a younger daughter who's eight months old.

What are your big passions? Apart from, obviously, your daughter.

Definitely football. I like all sports, but football, number one.

-Avid Liverpool fan.

-Great stuff. You won't find any problem here.

-Excellent.

-OK, Ahmed, it's lovely to have you here,

and we hope you do well.

Always brave trying to crack the code by yourself.

But let's see how you can do.

If you're ready, let's reset the code.

We'll end up with three blanks.

We want to turn those into three numbers.

-OK.

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

Remember, only one of those is

correct. That's the one

you're trying to find.

At this point, you can open all three answers

to reveal the questions.

Where would you like to start first?

Round one, so probably start

-at the top with The Who.

-We'll start

with the question for The Who.

The Glimmer Twins is a nickname applied to

the lead singer and the guitarist of which band?

My brother's probably at home

shouting at the screen.

He was an avid musician.

Probably too late

to help you, sadly.

The Who...The Who passed me by.

Well, we get to open

both of the others, so maybe that'll

give you a bit more help.

Where do you want to go next?

-Barbados, please.

-OK.

Don't we all? Let's see the

question behind Barbados, please.

You know, I don't think I've ever

come across that term before.

Although I've never been

to the Caribbean.

Let's open Baskin-Robbins,

shed some light on this.

I'd have thought Baskin and Robbins

might have been the surnames

of the founders.

Is Cohen...? Cohen is a first name.

Cohen Baskin.

Is Greenfield a first name?

Greenfield Robbins.

This was my worst nightmare.

-First question out.

-First question.

You've got three which are

leaving you a bit in the mire

-at the moment.

-Yeah. Let's have a look now.

The Who - I can't think of

twins being in the band.

I'm going to discount The Who.

You don't want that one?

-That feels wrong to you?

-Yeah, yeah, it doesn't ring a bell.

A Bajan.

Trying to think of the famous cricketers.

I think people from Barbados

are...Barbadian?

Which way are you leaning, Ahmed?

-I'm not.

-Really?

-Stuck between the two of them?

-I'm...

We are going to need to lock in

one of them and take a decision.

I'm going to have to go with...

a Bajan would be from Barbados.

Your level of confidence in

that answer in a percentage term?

33.333 reoccurring.

Statistically just probability

and no more than that. OK,

let's lock in Barbados as

the correct answer.

We want Barbados to be

Ahmed's correct answer.

We want it to turn green.

-Oh!

-It is correct.

I'm so pleased for you, Ahmed.

-Thank you.

-Lesley.

Ahmed, at various points in that,

I thought you were going to go with any one of those.

So did I.

Yeah, someone described as Bajan

is from Barbados.

They can also be called Barbadian, as you mentioned.

You mentioned famous cricketers.

For example, Garfield Sobers, excellent cricketer from Barbados.

The Glimmer Twins are

Keith Richards and Mick Jagger in The Rolling Stones.

The story goes that they were on a cruise

and there was an old couple who couldn't quite recognise them.

Asked them for a glimmer

as to their identities.

-Oh, OK.

-They thought

that that was really funny and decided that that would stick.

And Cohen And Greenfield,

the surnames of the two founders

of the ice cream company.

Baskin-Robbins, that's

Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins.

It's Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield - Ben and Jerry's.

-OK. Phew!

-We're through.

We're through the first one. That's fine.

And it means, Ahmed, you have bought yourself

the right to choose a number from the keypad.

Which one are you going to choose?

I remember when I was younger I read a horoscope,

and on that horoscope, it said my lucky number is three.

-Number three?

-No.

It's never done me any luck until now, so I'll go for number five.

We're going to go with number five.

OK. So logic over superstition.

Number five, slap bang in the middle.

Is it there in your code? Let's have a look at the first box.

No number five. How about the second one?

No number five. How about the final box?

-No.

-OK.

-You can count that out. That's not lucky for you either.

-That's fine.

-We know it is not there,

and we carry on playing the game at this level, the easiest level.

-Are you ready for your next three answers?

-Yeah.

Let's start with Johnny Cash.

Let's have a look at

the question behind Johnny Cash.

I always tell my students to read around

the subject, and every morning

when I'm getting ready for work,

I read BBC News app.

And I've got a column on there

with science and education.

I'm pretty sure I remember reading this a few weeks back.

Yeah, I want to see the other two

-but...

-Of course.

..I'm in a better place than

where I was the last round.

We feel we're better than 33.3% on

-this one.

-At least 35 at the moment.

LAUGHING: At least 35% confident.

OK, where do you want to go next?

-Go to Euan.

-Let's have a look

at the question behind Euan.

I think Euan's his eldest son.

I think Leo's his youngest son.

That still keeps me on Johnny Cash.

Yeah, I'm happy with that.

Your instinct is that's incorrect.

OK, let's have a look at

the question behind damn.

"Frankly, my dear,

"I don't give a damn."

Don't be like that.

I don't think that's the last...

It's a film

I've never watched, I must admit.

I'm... I think I'm confident.

I'm going to go with

the black tarantula

-called Johnny Cash.

-OK. We want Johnny Cash to be our

correct answer. Let's lock it in.

There it is. If Johnny Cash is

the correct answer, then

we can hold our head high.

It's got to turn green, though,

to give us a chance to put

another number into the code.

-Got it.

-Well done, Ahmed.

Yes, Folsom Prison,

where Johnny Cash played concerts for the inmates

in the 1960s.

The last word of the classic film

Gone with the Wind. I thought this one might sway you.

You remembered the line, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

That wasn't in the book in quite that wording.

They added frankly in the film to give it more strength and emphasis.

The correct answer is day,

as in, "After all, tomorrow is another day."

And the name which links

Tony Blair's father and his youngest child.

You knew immediately that Euan was his eldest child

and that Leo, as you said, was the youngest.

Leo was the first legitimate child

born to a serving prime minister in 150 years.

-OK.

-It means it's time to pick

another number.

Five has gone. Nine other numbers remain.

Which one you going to go for next?

Sticking on the line of superstition, I know seven is

a lucky number for a lot of people.

So I'm going to go with eight.

The same inverted logic from Ahmed.

We're going to go with the number eight,

see if it's in our code.

Is it in the first box?

No number eight. Is it in the second box?

There it is. Number eight. Slap bang in the middle, Ahmed.

-You've got your first number in the code.

-OK.

That means that we are on to the... SIREN RINGS

Well, I was going to say that's the next level,

but that sound means, unfortunately, Ahmed, we've run out of time.

Feeling much better?

Let's bring on round two, and hopefully the questions are kinder.

-OK. Lesley, thank you very much.

-You're welcome.

And please be sure to join us next time.

We'll find out if Ahmed has what it takes

to crack the code and win the cash.

Thanks for watching and goodbye.
