Episode 23 The Code

Hello and welcome to The Code.

£6,500 is locked inside the safe.

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

But every time someone fails,

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

Last time, Anne and Chris from Boston had revealed

one of the numbers in the code, the number eight,

before we ran out of time.

So let's welcome them back.

Here they are, lovely to see you again.

-Hello.

-Anne.

-Hello.

-How are you doing? And Chris.

-Hello, Matt.

-Good to see you.

Now, let's just refresh our memories.

Both from Boston in Lincolnshire right now.

-BOTH:

-Yes.

-Now, Boston, lovely place.

-Yes.

-Very rural. Also very flat.

-Yes.

-Not really.

-Really?

-When friends live in Horncastle, the walls start.

And if you're a walker, as I am, there are a lot of hills in Lincolnshire.

Right. Anne, you are a retired hypnotherapist, is that right?

Yes, the latter 20 years of my working life, I did my hypnotherapy, yes.

Fascinating stuff.

Did you have great successes?

-Oh, yes.

-Could you point and say,

"I've made a massive difference to their life"?

Oh, hundreds and hundreds of times.

Yeah, it's really, really rewarding, because people can come in to you

looking really sort of down in the mouth, you know, problematic,

go out with a smile.

A lot of people use it to help with smoking and diet and things like that.

Yes, I think that's possibly the busiest I was when I did,

it was with people wanting to stop smoking.

But general other things like weight loss and panic attacks, anxiety.

Well, I hope you're not too anxious.

I hope you're not having panic attacks about this.

You seem very composed and a great team working really well together.

Before we get cracking, we should say hello to Leslie.

Welcome again, Anne and Chris.

I hope you can carry on your clear thinking and good decision making.

Yes, let's have a look on the keypad there.

Two, three, four and eight all counted out of contention.

Eight up there in the middle in your code,

which means you are at that next level of the game

where you get to see all the answers, as we've said,

but only two questions at a time.

Are we ready, my Boston belles, to crack on?

-We are.

-£6,500 awaits if we can just crack the code.

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

1066, Sergeant Pepper's, Larry Lamb.

Well, obviously, 1066, the Battle of Hastings.

Sergeant Pepper's,

-that's the Beatles album.

-Lonely Hearts Club.

Of course, only one of these answers can be correct,

that's the one that we're looking for.

Larry Lamb was that little hand puppet.

-And he is an actor who has recently done a tour...

-Is he?

Yes, touring round.

I was thinking of Larry Lamb.

Where would you like to start?

-BOTH:

-1066.

-1066, please.

Which year is represented by the seven Roman numerals

listed in descending order?

1066.

Would we not say M for the thousand?

-Ah, yes, they would.

-Wouldn't we? It would be M...

-I think we'll have to look at one of the others...

-O...

Listen, it would be M, O...

L, M, N, O...

M, O...

V, I,

V, I.

Oh, I don't think so.

-Anyway...

-Shall we move on and have a look at another one?

-Yes.

At this stage, you can look at two questions before you have to commit

to rejecting one of them.

We'll look at Larry Lamb.

-We'll look at Larry Lamb.

-OK.

The question behind Larry Lamb, please.

What name links an actor from Gavin and Stacey

with a former editor of The Sun?

I don't know if Larry Lamb was in Gavin and Stacey.

I think they were editor of The Sun.

I only know Piers Morgan.

Could be right.

One of those at least must be wrong.

We're looking to reject one.

-I don't think that top one's right.

-No, I don't think it is.

-No.

We're not sure, but I think we'll go for that.

Get rid of the top one, yes.

OK, we'd like to reject 1066

as an incorrect answer.

If it's correct, I'm afraid

this is the end of the journey right here and now.

We don't want that. We want it to turn red.

Well done. Good choice.

Anne and Chris, you mentioned most of the Roman numerals

and their values when you were deciding about this one.

1066 would be missing a couple of the numerals.

The correct answer is 1666.

It is M for 1,000, D for 500, C for 100, L for 50, X for 10,

V for five and I for one.

Brilliant, and I, for one, think you're doing very well.

Let's get rid of 1066.

It's an incorrect answer and let's open the question

behind Sergeant Pepper's.

What was the name of the Salvation Army orphanage

whose fete John Lennon used to attend when he was a child?

Well, that sounds very feasible.

I've just got a niggle in the back of my mind

-that there was a Larry Lamb long ago at the...

-Have you?

-Mm-hm, but...

-Yes. John Lennon used to attend when he was a child.

It's Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club.

I don't...

Yeah.

-Shall we say that's...?

-That's...

Yeah, let's take Larry Lamb as the correct answer.

-Well, you'll have to forgive me if it's wrong.

-Of course I will.

-I'm sure you will.

-I think Larry Lamb is the correct answer.

We'll go for Larry Lamb.

-Happy to do that?

-Lovely Larry Lamb.

-Well, as happy as we can be.

As happy as we can be under the circumstances.

We'll be happy as Larry if it's green.

Good, well, let's hope that's the case.

We want Anne and Chris to be happy as Larry.

Lock in Larry Lamb.

We want it to go green.

-Please go green.

-Is Larry Lamb the correct answer?

Cor, that was tough.

-That was 50-50.

-It was.

-You were taking a lot on your shoulders there, Chris?

-I was.

Yes, Larry Lamb the actor from Gavin and Stacey who plays

Mick Shipman. He is also known as Archie Mitchell in EastEnders.

And the editor of The Sun, Sir Albert Larry Lamb,

who introduced Page Three.

Ahh.

The name of the Salvation Army orphanage whose fete John Lennon

used to attend, not Sergeant Pepper's but Strawberry Field,

inspiring him to write Strawberry Fields Forever.

There's also a character Strawberry Field in Quantum Of Solace

-played by Gemma Arterton.

-Thank you, Leslie.

Well, now, that could have gone either way.

It could, it could.

-That was...

-That was a tense one.

-It was a watershed moment.

-It's all been tense!

A watershed moment, but absolutely crucial, because it means

you get the chance to choose another number to go into your code.

Two, three, four and eight all gone.

Two boxes remaining.

-One.

-Number one.

-Yes.

-Is number one in the first box?

Yes!

-We are riding our luck today!

-You are riding your luck!

-Luckily, it's not in short supply.

-No.

That is the good news. One is there in your code.

You have got five numbers left to choose from, though,

and we are now at the next level of the game

where it really gets tricky.

Because now you can only open one question at a time

before you have to commit, decide whether that is right or wrong.

Only one of the answers is correct.

If you are ready, Anne and Chris,

would you like to see your next three answers?

-We would.

-Yes, please.

Here they are.

Oh, right, well, Hay-on-Wye is...

-Will Haye.

-Obviously, at this stage,

it's really important which order you pick these in.

-Yes, yes.

-Will Haye was an old film star.

Comedy, wasn't he?

-Why?

-Why have we got that there, I wonder?

Hay-on-Wye is the book festival...

..where they have

a lot of really nice speakers and that's on my bucket list,

-but I've never been there before.

-OK.

-Right.

-Hay-on-Wye.

-Let's go with Hay-on-Wye.

-Hay-on-Wye.

-You know a little bit about it.

-OK. We will try Hay-on-Wye, please.

OK, we're going to open the question behind Hay-on-Wye.

The National Library of Wales is in which town?

I would think it would be in a...

bigger town...

-..or a city.

-Right.

You would think the National Library of Wales would be in Cardiff

-or St Davids, one of the big...

-Yes, not Hay-on-Wye, you're right.

-Not Hay-on-Wye.

-Yes.

And Hay-on-Wye is a border town.

Oh, no, then. That's...

-Shall we reject that?

-If that's correct, reject that one, yes.

The National Library of Wales

is in which town? Hay-on-Wye. No.

We don't think it is.

-Absolutely sure?

-Not absolutely sure.

As sure as we can be.

It is as good as it gets, to be honest, sometimes.

We have to take a punt on it.

They are all big decisions at this stage in the game,

because we're getting close.

We're in touching distance now.

We want Hay-on-Wye

to be an incorrect answer and turn red.

We didn't know it, it didn't matter.

-Leslie.

-Good decision, Anne and Chris.

Chris, you remembered the literary festival in Hay-on-Wye.

Hay-on-Wye is in Wales,

it's very close to the border between Wales and England.

The correct answer is Aberystwyth.

Oh, really?

Aberystwyth.

Lucky we didn't have to work out that was the correct answer.

But it doesn't matter,

it's an incorrect answer,

we can get rid of it.

And we are left

with Haye and Why?

Which one do you want to open next?

-Let's take Why?

-Yeah, with a question mark.

We'll go for Why? We would like to see that one.

Why not? Let's have a look behind Why?, please.

I was abroad when...

I think it probably was.

What was it?

Yeah, I would say yes for that.

We're not sure again, but we'll say yes.

We will say that one is correct.

So we will reject...

-I have no idea.

-What's the thinking behind that?

Well, I've just got this tune in my head.

# Why, why, why? #

There's a little link there somewhere.

-Yes.

-And I don't know.

I'm sure Annie Lennox has a song, Why?

-I'd go for that.

-So you're confident that she has sung it,

but whether it's a top-ten single, you're not sure?

-Yes, yeah.

-OK.

There are no small decisions at this stage.

Every one could mean you're either leaving or carrying on.

We desperately want you to stay here.

Let's lock that in

as a correct answer.

Now that's locked in, we can have a look at the question behind Haye.

So either we might see something here that makes us feel

terribly good or terribly bad,

or nothing at all.

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

What is the surname of the first British boxer to defeat

Wladimir Klitschko in a professional fight?

It could be right,

there was a heavyweight boxer called...

Well, never mind.

Not a strong feeling about that either way?

-Not really.

-I know there was a boxer whose surname was Haye,

-but I don't know much about...

-Nothing more than that.

-No.

-We've gone for Annie Lennox, we think that's the correct answer.

We want Why? to turn green for Anne and Chris to stay with us.

-And it is! And it is.

-I can't believe it.

-Yes, well, she does sing Why?

-Yeah.

Riding your luck and a little bit of knowledge, but that's all it takes.

It just goes to show you how important it is at this stage

to open the right answer first.

-Yes.

-The title of Annie Lennox's first solo UK top ten single is Why?

She previously had hits with The Tourists and The Eurythmics.

This song reached number five in 1992

when Shakespeare's Sister was at the top of the charts with Stay.

And the surname of the first British boxer to defeat Wladimir Klitschko

in a professional fight... Haye refers to David Haye,

who was beaten by Wladimir Klitschko in 2011.

The correct answer is Tyson Fury.

-Yes.

-Yes.

It's time to pick another number,

but not just any number,

the last number, possibly, to complete the code

and open the door for you on £6,500.

-Wouldn't that be great?

-It's your turn.

-Nought.

-We're going to go for nought.

We want that to look like 180.

Who's going to come with me and punch it in?

-I will.

-Anne, will you join me at the safe?

Anne and Chris, to have a jackpot of £6,500,

that means a lot of people have failed to do

what hopefully you are about to do - complete the code and open the safe.

You've chosen the number zero. Anne, if you're ready,

punch that into the keypad.

We're looking for 180, the maximum darts score.

But is it going to be a bull's-eye for you?

We want you to take home £6,500.

-No.

-It's not.

It's not there, but we're not finished yet.

-No.

-Shall we rejoin Chris?

Right.

OK, so...

-..can we do this?

-Yeah.

-We can do it.

-Of course we can.

-Yes.

-OK.

We're going to have another crack at this.

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

Tony Hart was the artist, wasn't he,

-on the television.

-Yes, and he did the art programme

that had the little plasticine men.

-I can't remember what it was called.

-Ride a bicycle,

could be in that Raindrops Are Falling On My Head...

-Is it a..?

-..film?

-Is it in a song?

Yeah, it's a film.

-Well, not ride a bicycle, but he rode a bicycle...

-Right.

..in Raindrops Are Falling On My Head.

Sundance,

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Skyfall is, well, it's the recent James Bond.

Right. What are we going to try?

One of the top two, I would.

-Shall we try Tony Hart?

-Yeah, Tony Hart, please.

We're going to open the question behind Tony Hart.

I've got a thing in the back of my mind that it may not have been him.

-Have you?

-I really...

Tony Hart...

It's niggling, niggling.

-We can't look at another.

-No.

One at a time, I'm afraid,

so we have to make a judgment just on that one.

I'd go for yes on that, you know.

But you think probably not in the back of your mind?

-I'm very hesitant, but if you want to...

-No.

I just don't know.

I'm not sure, so...

-Are you sure?

-No. No.

-I'm not sure.

-Are we going to ride our luck and say it's not correct?

Or we'll go with correct, shall we?

-Let's go with correct.

-Right.

You're happy to go with correct?

-We're not happy.

-No, we're not happy at all.

How is this working?

Who is the most confident of this being right?

I think it possibly is.

You've got a hunch that it's right?

-Yes.

-And, Chris, you're happy to go with that?

-I'll go with that. Whatever.

-Are you sure?

-Positive.

Let's lock it in as a correct answer.

We want Tony Hart to be the designer of the Blue Peter ship logo.

We need this to go green.

If it's not, I'm afraid, it's the end of our journey.

Well done.

This is honestly gobsmacking.

-It's gobsmacking.

-It is the bomber county, so we're just winging it.

Absolutely fantastic.

Let's have a look at the other two.

You chose the right one. Always nice to choose the right one first.

The question behind Ride a bicycle, please.

-Would you have known that that was wrong?

-Not at all.

-Not at all.

No idea with that.

Let's have a look at Skyfall.

No, surely not.

I mean, Shirley Bassey's one.

You would have thought that was something else.

-You might have had a chance with that one.

-Yes.

-Fantastic stuff.

Leslie, talk us through them.

Congratulations, Anne and Chris,

you get another go at choosing a number for the code.

The Blue Peter ship logo was designed by Tony Hart.

Apparently, he was only paid £100 for it.

If he had been given royalties, it would have made him a millionaire.

-Yes.

-And the Australian Sam Groth.

He didn't ride a bicycle,

he served a tennis ball at an ATP Challenger event.

The first Bond theme to reach number one in the UK singles chart,

you mentioned Shirley Bassey,

she never topped the charts with a Bond theme.

Skyfall got to number two for Adele,

as did A View To A Kill by Duran Duran.

The correct answer, the theme from Spectre,

Sam Smith's Writing's On The Wall.

The Writing's On The Wall.

The writing's on the numbers on the wall!

-I picked the right one!

-Is the writing on the wall?

Only four digits left to choose from.

Five, six, seven and nine.

If you can get the right one, £6,500 is coming home with you.

Where are we going to go next?

Which one of those four digits are you going to go for?

-Number seven.

-And who's going to put it into the keypad?

-I will.

-You put it in.

This time, Chris, you're coming with me to the safe.

-Go, go, go.

-Let's go.

Well, here we are again.

Anne and Chris, you've chosen the number seven.

You've had one go at the safe - unsuccessful - but is this the one?

-Are you ready?

-I am ready.

Punch in the number seven.

Round and round the numbers spin, we're looking for 187.

Anne and Chris, formidable so far,

can we just have a chance with these numbers?

Is it there?

You struck out again.

-We did.

-But have you heard of third time lucky?

-We have.

-Well, let's see if we can make that happen.

Let's see if we can make that happen.

Let's go back and join Anne.

It's hard. No-one said this was going to be easy.

You did get those two numbers quite early, that leaves you with

quite a lot to achieve at the hardest stage of the game.

That's the hard truth of it.

Are you ready to go again?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Let's see the next three answers, please.

Three answers, one correct.

-The Godfather is a film.

-With Marlon Brando.

Flipping bicycles again.

Plenty of bicycles in Lincolnshire.

Very windy. And in Holland.

-In Amsterdam.

-I've ridden a bicycle in Holland.

They don't have brakes.

RSPCA. Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

One of those must be correct.

Bicycles? Give it a try.

The only thing about The Godfather is Marlon Brando.

And the horse in the bed.

-Horse's head.

-Yes.

We'll go for bicycles.

It's correct. They sold bicycles.

You're absolutely...

-I am sure.

-Sure of that?

I am 99.9% sure.

Tell me, Chris, because this is important, how do you know this?

Well, my fella builds things and he talks about things like that and I'm

keen on history and I've read all sorts of things

that kind of stick in my brain

and I'm sure they had a bicycle shop.

What is your fella's name?

-Terry.

-Right.

We laugh, because he's usually called Grubby.

Grubby?

-Grubby Terry?

-We were talking about him this morning.

-Has he got a shed?

-He's got three.

-He's got three sheds?

-Yes.

-If this is right...

-Yes.

..it's because of Terry and his sheds.

-And the information he comes up with.

-Yes.

OK, we want this to be the correct answer.

Lock it in. We want this to go green.

We don't have to worry about the others, then,

we can just concentrate on bicycles being the correct answer.

You chose very well, then.

Well done, great knowledge.

Let's have a look at the others,

see if you would have had any luck with those at all.

First, the question behind The Godfather.

Well, would you have any idea that that was wrong?

-Not really.

-No.

-Couldn't have been 100% on that.

It could've been Bugsy Malone or Al Capone or Bugsy Malone or...

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

That would have suggested itself as being right, wouldn't it?

You might have thought that was the correct answer?

-So you could have gone for that.

-We would have gone for that.

-Well, Leslie.

-Good decision.

Thank you to Terry for giving Chris the information that you needed to

sort out that one.

Wilbur and Orville Wright, the aviation pioneers,

yes, they sold bicycles.

They used the profits to fund their experiments in flight,

including the imaginatively named Wright Flyer.

"As far back as I can remember,

"I always was wanted to be a gangster." It's not in Godfather,

The Godfather begins, "I believe in America,

"America has made me my fortune."

The correct answer is Goodfellas.

-Oh, right.

-And the organisation established by Mary Tealby in 1860,

not the RSPCA,

which has its origins in a society founded in a coffee shop in 1824

in London, but the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.

It started in Holloway.

The Holloway Dogs And Cats Home

doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Thank you, Leslie.

We've got three numbers left,

so which is it going to be next and who's going to choose it?

Anne's going to choose it.

Number five to complete a T for Terry.

-Right.

-I like it.

-I like it.

-I shall kill him if it's not right.

Oh, Terry. Listen, we've got a lot to thank Terry for.

That's partially why we're here.

Who's going to come down with me to put it in?

-I'll go down.

-Come on, then, let's make our way to the safe, Anne.

Five it is, the number five.

To complete the T for Terry and hopefully complete your code, 1-8-5.

£6,500.

-Are you ready, Anne?

-I am.

Punch in the number five.

There they go, the numbers spinning round.

There aren't that many left.

The odds are short.

Is five

the last number in your code?

Oh!

I'm not sure I can take much more of this.

I'll kill him when we get home.

It's not the T for Terry.

-No.

-There's only two left, though.

Let's go and rejoin Chris.

Oh, dear.

-Can you believe it?

-No.

It'll be the last one.

This is how it's working.

It seems, when it comes to the questions, we are strong.

Intuition, knowledge, judgment, luck, hunch,

whatever you want to call it,

that's great. The numbers are defeating us now.

But they can't hold out much longer.

Only a six and a nine left, it has to be one of those two.

-Are you ready? BOTH:

-Ready.

Chris and Anne,

you know how the game works, let's see your next three answers.

Alopecia is going bald.

-Hair loss.

-Hair loss.

China could be anything.

It's an emerging country, a long history.

Invented all kinds of things.

Zulu was a film.

Michael Caine, the Zulu Wars.

I've seen the Zulu battlegrounds.

One of those has got to be correct.

You've been brilliant at choosing them so far.

-Shall we take China?

-Yes, because you know quite a bit about that.

All I know about alopecia is...

We'll go for China.

OK, we're going to have a look at the question behind China.

The most populous countries are China, India, South America.

I think China is the most populous country

and I don't think it's been in the World Cup final.

No, it hasn't been in the World Cup finals.

But is it the most populous one?

It's the most populous country in the world, I think.

Yeah, we'll take that as true, shall we?

We think that is true.

Do you want to lock that in as your correct answer?

-Yes.

-Yes, we will, yes.

It's locked in as our correct answer.

Go green.

Please, go green.

A chance for £6,500...

..if this is a correct answer.

We want it to go green.

-BOTH:

-Oh!

What is the correct answer?

I can't believe it.

-I can't believe it.

-No.

So unlucky with the numbers.

Let's have a look at the others.

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

That's not true.

Would you have said that's correct?

-No, no.

-No, it's not true, not true.

-It's not correct.

Let's have a look at Zulu.

-That would have to be correct.

-That would have been right.

Of those three, which one would you have put as the correct answer?

-Zulu.

-Zulu.

-Zulu.

-Let's find out which is the correct answer.

-Mm.

-There you go.

That's why the game at this stage is so tricky.

Leslie, talk us through. It's agonising.

I know, Anne and Chris, so close but so far.

I'm really sorry.

In South Africa,

which of the official languages are spoken by the most people?

Yes, it is Zulu.

Zulu existed only as a spoken language until European missionaries

came to the area. The inability of a person or animal to produce melanin,

you knew this straightaway, it wasn't alopecia,

which is losing hair, but albinism.

And the most populous country never to have competed in the

football World Cup finals, this is where you came unstuck,

China played in 2002, didn't get past the group stages.

The correct answer is India.

India did qualify once in 1950, but decided not to play.

There we go. India not China.

Well, listen, there were only two numbers left in your code,

six and nine. Which one would you have gone with next?

-Probably six, wouldn't we? Work our way down.

-Why not?

-It doesn't matter.

-Six, let's have a look.

Let's find out the final number in your code.

Hiding away from us like that.

It was a six.

-Never mind.

-That question would have given you the number you needed

to complete the code and would have opened the door on £6,500.

It's been fun anyway, you know.

-We've really enjoyed it.

-That's lovely to hear.

Chris and Anne, we wish you all the best on your way back to Boston.

But I have to say, unfortunately,

you failed to break the code and you have to leave the game.

Thank you so much for playing and goodbye.

-Goodbye.

-Thank you.

Bye-bye.

Oh, my goodness, another team, more contestants leave empty-handed.

When are we going to get a winner?

It's so close.

Ah, but Anne and Chris, 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, good to see you, gentlemen.

-Colin.

-Hiya.

-And Steve.

Matt, lovely to see you.

-How are you?

-Yeah, very good, thank you.

Different parts of Kent, you come from, Chislehurst and Dartford.

-Yep. Dartford, yeah.

-And how do you know each other?

-This is my uncle.

-Really?

Yeah, my mum's little brother.

So you've known him all your life?

I have, 43 years.

You haven't quite known him all your life.

-Well, his life, anyway.

-I remember most of it.

Fantastic. You guys, what do you do in Kent?

I work in the care sector

and I also sort of support young children with learning disabilities.

Right. And that's the sort of job where it's not necessarily

-nine-to-five, I would imagine.

-Most definitely not.

It can be long hours.

But it's a job I love, so, yeah, it makes it easier.

-And what about you, what do you do?

-Myself, I'm retired.

A retired firefighter.

And I like to spend my time...

..with my grandchildren or my children,

they are my raison d'etre.

-Really?

-So it's all about family for me.

You must share some passions, some stuff that you get on...

I mean, is there a very close bond between the two of you?

Yeah, I mean, all our family... It's a very big family,

so that helps, because Steve is one of seven and my mum's one of them

-and I think my nan's got 54 great...

-Wow.

..grandchildren and great-grandchildren,

-54 at the moment. Still continuing.

-Right.

We spend a lot of family time together, all of us.

-We do.

-So whose house do you do the parties at? Cos it must be huge.

Steve's. It's Chislehurst, it's a bit posher than Dartford.

-All back to yours?

-Yeah.

54 of you for Christmas?

They're all welcome. They're all welcome.

Lovely to have you on the show, guys.

-Really excited to have you.

-Thanks very much.

Let's hope you do well and you can do very well at the moment because,

agonisingly, so close,

Chris and Anne came this close to cracking the code,

but they failed and that means another £500 goes into the safe

and how does this sound?

A total of £7,000.

That's what you could be walking away with today.

Let's reset the code.

Three blank spaces.

We've got to turn those into three numbers and that will give you,

gentlemen, £3,500 each to spend on whatever you want.

-Lovely.

-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.

The order you choose them in at this stage, pretty academic.

Where do you want to go first?

-We'll just go...

-I think we'll just go top down.

-From the top down.

From the top down?

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

They would be geese. I think they're geese.

Canada geese. I'm all right with Canada geese, I get that.

Penguin, yeah, I know a few types of penguin.

-Emperor and various other ones.

-I think that's...

-OK.

It's the greylag one that I'm not sure about,

so I think what we'd like to do, Matt, is have a look at another.

No need to commit just yet. That's the great thing about this stage.

-Harris next?

-Yeah.

Let's open the question behind Harris.

-You get Harris Tweed, don't you, and stuff like that.

-You do.

There is an island called...

-My wife's Scottish, so I should get this one, really, but...

-Yeah.

-She's not here.

-Yeah.

Not sure about that. Let's look at the next one, please, if we could.

Let's open the question behind Darts, please.

Never heard of it. I've heard of a face-off,

-like ice hockey.

-Ice hockey, yeah.

-Squidge-off?

-We are looking for the one correct answer here.

I've watched darts before, I've never heard of a squidge-off,

I think I would've heard of it before. Harris, Lewis and Harris.

Yeah, Harris Tweed, Scotland.

-Yeah, yeah. I think...

-I think so, I would agree.

-Sure about that?

I'm not sure, not 100%, but that seems...

The other two, I think, by process of elimination...

I've never heard of a squidge-off and...

-Yeah.

-OK, happy to lock that in as the most likely answer?

-That's what you think it is.

-Yup.

-I think so.

-OK, we're locking that in.

We want that to go green

for the guys to get off the blocks.

Is that the correct answer?

-Yes!

-Oh!

Great start. Not entirely sure, but as sure as you needed to be.

It's one island, Lesley, with two names. How does that work?

It's because Lewis is at the top and Harris is at the bottom,

and they're connected by a narrow piece of land,

so they are sometimes considered to be two separate places,

but they are one contiguous body of island.

The greylag, the barnacle and the Canada -

Steve, you knew the right answer to this

as well as being able to dismiss Penguin as being incorrect.

It's geese. And a squidge-off takes place

at the start of which indoor game?

You were talking about stepping up to the oche,

you had an inkling that darts, they don't squidge-off.

In darts, they bull-off.

A squidge-off takes place in tiddlywinks.

Squidges are the large pieces, winks are the small ones.

-There you go.

-I've learned something there.

There we are.

Next time you play tiddlywinks, you can show off and say,

-"Come on, time for a squidge-off."

-I'm not playing unless we do!

OK, great start, Colin and Steve.

It means we are off

and we get the chance to put a number into the keypad.

Which one do you fancy?

-Although it's one island and it's Harris and Tweed...

-Yeah.

..so you go for one, because it's one island,

or you could go for two, because it's known as two names.

-And it was number two...

-We're going to go to number two.

-Number two.

-Number two, Matt, please.

Let's see if number two is in your code, Colin and Steve.

Is it there in the first box?

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

No number two. Is it there in the third box?

-Oh.

-It's not there.

-We got it out the way.

-So two's gone.

Nine numbers remain. Nothing in your code.

Are you ready for your next three answers?

-We are.

-Bring them on.

-We'll go top to bottom.

-Top to bottom?

Let's see the question behind Oslo.

Oslo is the capital of Norway.

Yeah.

I'm not sure what date that was.

-1952...

-'52... Winter Olympics.

I'm not sure.

-I don't know.

-I can't think of any other capitals.

-Could we move on?

-Let's move on. Let's see the question behind Head.

I think he was punched in his stomach.

Peritonitis... I don't know what...

Peritonitis is to do with your appendix, so...

If you've had your appendix out, then peritonitis can set in.

-OK.

-Lots of good drugs against it.

-I think that's the key word in that.

So I Head, I think, we can probably dismiss.

-All right, OK.

-OK, got a strong feeling

about that one. Let's look at the question behind Mezze.

I remember it in Cyprus, don't know of it is Greek or Turkish.

-They've both got versions of the same thing.

-Yeah.

-Spanish, I think, is more... Is it called tapas?

-Yeah, tapas.

We're looking for one correct answer from those three.

For me, Oslo sounds the most likely.

-Yeah.

-OK, let's lock in Oslo as our correct answer.

If it is correct, it'll turn green

and that means Colin and Steve get the chance to put another number

into their code, see if it sticks.

Got it. Good work.

Well done, Colin and Steve.

Yes, you remembered that Oslo was the capital city of Norway.

In 1852, Helsinki hosted the Summer Olympics,

that was back when they were held in the same year.

The great magician and escapologist Houdini died of peritonitis.

Steve, you remembered that peritonitis

is sometimes a complication of appendicitis

and that helped you to dismiss Head as the incorrect answer.

The correct answer is stomach.

And the style of eating typically involving several small dishes

from the Spanish for "covers",

Steve and Colin, you both had a good ideas about this.

Colin, you remembered that the correct answer for this was tapas.

Tapas, small dishes.

A chance now to pick another number.

Where do we want to go next? Have you got another good reason for me?

If we thought maybe it was one or two, could be a one?

Let's do it. It's in your head, innit?

-Let's do it.

-Go for one.

We'll go for number one to see if it's in the code.

The number one, is it in the code there?

Let's have a look in the first box.

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

No number one there.

Is the number one in the third and final box?

-Oh...

-There is no number one.

-Another one out the way.

-There is no number two.

As you say, Colin, just get it out of the way.

It doesn't matter. It means we carry on playing

at the easiest stage of the game.

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

Something I imagine doesn't happen very often round at your place!

-No, never.

-Not with 54 of you.

Again, we get to see all three questions

before you have to make a decision. Where do you want to start?

I think we'll follow our pattern of what we're doing.

-Top to bottom?

-Yeah, yeah. Boring first, please.

Nothing's impossible, is it?

It's not, but unlikely, I think.

I don't think it's likely. Is there a place called Boring?

-I don't know.

-I think we need to move on.

Geography, as I said, not my best.

-Work our way down, Sunday next?

-Please.

It sounds a logical conclusion,

-if he was born on Monday.

-It's possible.

-It sounds... Seven days.

-Yeah.

-OK.

-OK. That's one to consider.

-Poetic.

-Yeah.

Park it for the moment.

And let's have a look at the question behind Dinner.

Didn't he say lunch is for wimps?

-I'd say lunch, cos that's your working day.

-Lunch is for wimps.

OK. Strong feeling about that one.

How are the other two looking to you?

I don't know. When did he get married? On a Wednesday?

When did he get married?

Seventh day, how else would it end?

Have you sung it with the kids?

Have you recited it with the kids?

I heard it when I was a kid. I've never done it with my kids.

That is quite a while ago.

I'm going with Grundy.

I'm going with Grundy. We're going with Solomon.

We're going with Solomon Grundy?

We think that's our correct answer.

Is Sunday the correct answer?

THEY GROAN

-No!

-You're joking me.

OK, I'm so sorry, gents. I'm so sorry.

Which of those two, then, do you think it was?

-Boring.

-Shall we find out?

-Got to be Boring, innit?

Let's see the correct answer.

Yeah, it is.

And that IS boring.

Oh, Colin and Steve, I'm so sorry.

Yes, Dull twinned with Boring, making them both more interesting.

And in the famous rhyme,

on which day of the week did Solomon Grundy die?

Yeah, Solomon Grundy, born on Monday, christened on a Tuesday,

married on Wednesday, took ill on Thursday, grew worse on Friday,

died on Saturday, buried on Sunday.

-Buried, I just got it.

-For the third one, you were much more certain.

You were pretty certain on Gordon Gekko, played by Michael Douglas,

saying that lunch is for wimps,

despite saying greed was good, meaning money not food, of course.

Oh, there you go. As we said, you got it, didn't you, Colin?

-Just came to me at the end, buried on Sunday.

-Five seconds after.

Sadly, it's not just about knowing it,

it's about being able to find that knowledge at the right moment.

-Yeah.

-And that's where we fell down here.

-Anyway, with a family of 54 people around you, you are winners.

-We are.

And, listen, it's lovely to have you here with us...

-No problem.

-..in the studio and enjoying the game.

Unfortunately, I have to say,

you have failed to break the code

and so I have to send you back to Kent.

-Lovely to meet you.

-Thank you, Matt, it's been good.

-Thank you, Matt,

it's been a nice experience.

-Thank you. And, Colin and Steve, goodbye.

-Thank you very much.

-Thanks, Lesley.

-Bye-bye.

Thank you.

Oh, so sad.

Colin and Steve let down by a lack of knowledge of nursery rhymes

in the end, so they head back to Kent.

Lesley, thank you so much for all your facts today.

-You're welcome.

-And please be sure to join us next time,

when we find out if our next team

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

£7,500.

That equals the highest jackpot we've had so far in the series.

Thanks for watching and goodbye.
