Episode 24 The Code

Hello, and welcome to The Code.

Locked inside this safe is £7,500,

equalling the highest jackpot we've had in this series so far.

To open the safe and win that 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.

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

Here they are. Good to see you.

-Lesley, how are you?

-I'm very well, thank you, Matt.

-David.

-Nice to see you.

-Fantastic. Both from Cheshire.

-That's right.

-Which bit of Cheshire?

Well, it's Nantwich, which is in the south of Cheshire.

-And you are mother and son.

-That's right.

-Yes, we are, yeah.

Lovely. Tell me about yourselves.

What do you do there in Nantwich?

Well, I actually work for my husband, Alan, who's an accountant.

I'm his secretary. But we do actually live on my father's farm.

Is it a working farm?

It isn't any more. My parents have retired.

But having said that, we've planted up almost 30 acres of woodland.

About 10,000 trees.

So, what does that become then?

Are these Christmas trees or are they are they a crop?

-Absolutely not.

-Right.

No, they are very slow-growing, traditional,

broad-leafed, English... Well, British trees. Native trees.

So a lot of this woodland now is disappearing.

You're there trying to turn the tide a little bit.

-That's right.

-What a wonderful thing to create, Lesley.

That's absolutely fantastic.

David, tell me about yourself. What do you do?

OK, so I'm assistant manager and head barista

at an Italian-influenced coffee shop in Nantwich.

-A barista.

-Yes, I am. Yep.

Is this something you're going to be sticking at?

Certainly for as long as I can see in the future.

It started off as a part-time, casual job,

but my love of coffee and Italian food has prompted me to working...

And I'm full-time and I'm the assistant manager there.

So, it's a passion.

You're a coffee connoisseur.

I wouldn't perhaps go as far as connoisseur,

but I like to think that there's a bit more to it

than just putting a teaspoon of instant into the cup

and filling it up with boiling hot water.

Let's get down to brass tacks now.

We have a big jackpot -

£7,500.

-Wow.

-As big as it's ever been.

-Fantastic, wow.

-Are you ready to play the game?

-Yes.

-Ready as we'll ever be.

Good. That's what I like to see.

Lesley and David, to open the safe and win that £7,500,

you need to enter a three-digit code up there.

All you have to do is pick the correct answer.

You can then select a number from 0 to 9.

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

But be warned, at any point during the game,

if you pick an incorrect answer -

that's it, instant elimination.

It is easy game to play.

Much harder game to win.

And that's why the jackpot is standing where it is right now.

First, let's set the code.

Three blanks.

We need to make those three numbers, and then the door swings open.

And before we go any further, let me introduce you to our Lesley.

Hello, Lesley and David. It's always good to meet another Lesley.

There aren't many of us these days.

-There aren't, no.

-The name does seem to be dying out.

But it's a good one. So, people, call your children Lesley.

Thank you, Lesley. Right, if you are ready,

shall we have a look at your first three answers?

Yes, please.

Remember, only one of those is correct.

That's the one you're trying to find. At this point, you get to look

at all three questions behind the answers.

So, the order you choose them in, pretty academic.

Which one do you want first?

-Straight down the middle?

-Yes, go on, then.

-May, please.

-OK.

The 100th day of the year is in which month?

I think it's too late.

I think it's got to be April.

-We've got...

-31 in January.

On average, 30 days in a month.

-Yep.

-January, February, March.

-That's 90.

-Yeah.

So, you're in April.

Even with the shorter February,

we're not going to get

to the back-end of April, so...

Yeah. OK. OK, good, strong ideas about that one, it seems.

Where do you want to go next?

John, please.

Something is ringing a bell...

that it is John.

I'm afraid literature, like I say,

is not my strong subject,

so I'm going to have to hope...

I'm thinking that that might be the right one.

-OK.

-I'm just hoping that this Steffi Graf one

is going to be obviously wrong.

Well, she's a famous tennis player, isn't she?

So, hopefully you'll know more about that than me.

Either way, it could give you a steer.

Let's have a look at the question behind Steffi Graf.

Well, Steffi Graf is German.

So, she's probably not going to be "The Swiss Miss" then.

No. I've never heard of her called that.

-OK.

-So, I think we've got to go for John.

-Yes.

-Yes.

We want to lock in John

as the correct answer.

We want it to go green,

So that Lesley and David

get the chance to choose their first number

and see if it fits into our code.

Is John our correct answer?

-Yes.

-Great stuff. Green is good.

We like green.

Well done, Lesley and David.

Yes, John Watson appeared first in A Study In Scarlet.

And the tennis player known as "The Swiss Miss",

Lesley, you knew immediately that Steffi Graf is German.

And therefore the wrong answer.

The correct answer is Martina Hingis.

At 16 years old, Martina Hingis, in 1997,

became the youngest Grand Slam winner of the 20th century.

And the 100th day of the year is in which month?

Well worked out. It's not May, but April.

Marvellous. All there.

All the facts where you needed them.

At your fingertips.

Really didn't find that round a problem.

Let's see if finding the numbers is equally straightforward.

Three spaces in the code.

Three unique numbers.

Which one would you like to choose first?

-Shall I go first?

-Of course you can.

Number two, please.

OK. The number two.

Is it in our code?

Lesley thinks it might be.

Is it there in the first box?

It's not. Is number two in the second box?

It's not there, either.

How about the third and final box?

Oh.

Number two, waiting at the end there of your code.

But it does also mean that the game moves on to the next level.

It gets a little bit harder.

From now on, yes, you still see your three answers up there,

but you can only see two questions at a time...

-Yeah.

-..before you have to commit.

It also makes it more important

which order you choose to see them in.

-Yes.

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

Canada you think of perhaps winter sports.

Ottawa's the capital.

Yeah.

Lithium. Li is the chemical symbol.

-Right, so...

-Where do you want to go first?

We'd like to see... See Canada first, please.

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

there in the middle.

You've got to think of all those islands.

Yeah, it is Canada.

We might get caught out with Russia,

but Russia is obviously the biggest country,

but it's got a lot of...

-Border.

-..border,

which borders other countries.

-Canada's got an awful lot of islands.

-Yeah.

You seem pretty confident about that.

We don't have to make a decision just yet.

We can choose one of the other two to see

before we have to do anything.

-Shall we go for Leg?

-Yeah.

Leg, please.

The ulna is in the arm.

It's the tibia and the fibula.

Tibia, fibula.

There's another one down there, but it's not ulna.

OK. Well, one of those has to go before we can see

the question behind Lithium.

So, shall we remove Leg then?

-Yeah.

-We'd like to remove Leg, please.

Let's remove a Leg.

If it's an incorrect answer,

it gives us the chance to look at the question behind Lithium.

That's what we want.

So, this should go red.

Good stuff. You knew that straightaway,

didn't you, Lesley?

Our Lesley.

Absolutely right, Lesley.

Not only do you know that the leg is the wrong answer,

but you also rattled off a couple of other bones in the leg, as well.

The correct answer here is the arm.

-Yeah, well done.

-There we go, that's exactly what you said.

Let's get rid of it.

It's an incorrect answer, we don't need it any more.

Let's see the question behind Lithium.

I can't say I've ever heard of the song Lithium.

I can't think that a brand of deodorant would be called lithium.

Erm, so...

Let's not torture ourselves any more, please.

-Let's go for Canada.

-Canada being the right one.

We'll go for Canada as the right answer.

We want that to go green.

You're making rapid progress through the keypad.

You'll get the chance to put another one in and see if it sticks

in the code, but not unless Canada is a correct answer.

Well done.

Once again, Lesley very assured on that.

Phew, Lesley and David.

Yes, you had some good information about Canada.

You knew that there were lots of islands.

Tens of thousands of islands, in fact.

Apparently, it would take over 17 years to walk around the islands,

even if you didn't allow time for boat trips between them.

-That's assuming you walk 20 miles a day.

-Wow.

And the Nirvana song inspired by singer Kurt Cobain

and the brand of deodorant,

not Lithium but Smells Like Teen Spirit.

-OK.

-Oh, yes.

-Yes.

-Heard the song.

-Yep.

-OK.

Smells like another success for you guys, as well.

One number down in the code.

Now, the chances of getting two in a row are pretty slim.

Shall we see if we can do it?

-Yes.

-Go for it, David.

-David.

-I'd like to go for number seven, please.

Number seven. Is number seven there in our code?

Two slots left.

Is it in the first box?

No number seven there.

Is number seven in the second box?

Oh, my goodness.

Two numbers chosen, two numbers in the code.

Our jackpot as high as it's ever been.

7,500.

That's what we're talking about.

Does that start to feel a little bit real now?

Yeah, but there's still a lot numbers to go.

-So, can't get excited yet.

-You're absolutely right.

-And the round's going to be tough.

-Yeah.

It does start to get tougher now, yeah.

You're absolutely right.

As before, you do get to see all three answers.

This time, you can open just one at a time...

-Yeah.

-Mm.

-..before you have to commit.

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

Well, Tony Blair, I'd hope that you'd know

a bit more about him because you...

-Well, he, erm...

-I was very young.

He was the first Labour Prime Minister

for a long, long time. 1997.

Sedgefield, I think, was his constituency.

Hibernia is one of the Roman names for...

Is it Scotland or Ireland?

And Denmark...

Obviously a Scandinavian country.

Lego.

Ham.

-Go on, David.

-We'll go for Tony Blair, please.

-Titanic got...

-1998, was it?

No. Titanic...

Oh, the film came out in '97.

But the Academy Awards...

Would have been...

The next year in the February or March.

Tony Blair definitely came in in the May '97.

So we're just going to assume

that the Academy Awards for Titanic

-were the year after in '98.

-In '98, yes.

Where Tony Blair was definitely...

-Prime Minister.

-..Prime Minister.

Well, we've got to say yes.

We've got to say this is true then, haven't we?

-Yes.

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

If it is correct,

it's the chance to complete the code

in the shortest possible time.

Oh.

Is it the correct answer?

-Is it my turn?

-It is your turn, yeah.

Wow, absolutely brilliant work.

Reasoned out.

Knowledge, the whole package

was there with you two.

Now, we know that's the correct answer.

Shall we have a look at the other questions?

Yes, please.

If you'd opened those, just to give us an idea...

If you'd had opened the other ones earlier,

would that have made a difference?

First of all, the question behind Denmark.

-Norway.

-Norway.

-You know that's Norway.

-Yep.

-You would have been safe with that one.

You could have moved on. The question behind Hibernia.

You were in debate

as to whether it was Scotland or Ireland?

-Yeah.

-We'd have perhaps got stumped on that.

-Yeah.

-Lesley, fill us in, please.

Very well done, Lesley and David.

Yes, UK Prime Minister in 1998,

in the year that Titanic collected 11 Academy Awards.

He came to power precisely as Lesley said in May 1997.

The year that the film was released.

1998, the year that it collected the Oscars.

Equalling the record set by Ben-Hur.

And Lord Of The Rings - Return Of The King

also won 11 Oscars later.

Every year, the large Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square.

Exactly as you said, not Denmark but Norway.

That's been happening since 1947.

The trees are usually 50 or 60 years old.

Which means we've only recently got to the point

where the trees were planted after 1947.

And the Roman name for much of what we call Scotland.

Not Hibernia, which you mentioned earlier, Ireland, but Caledonia.

-Oh.

-Yes.

-It's not exactly certain which bits were Caledonia,

but it's roughly coincidental with Scotland.

Thank you, Lesley.

OK. We could be on the brink of something very special here.

-Wow.

-Two numbers in the code.

And you've only selected two numbers.

We could have a very long and difficult road ahead of us,

or we could cut straight to the chase and find the right number.

Any kind of inkling.

What are you going to base this number on?

It's going to be nine,

because both my kids were born in the '90s.

You're going to go for the number nine.

-Mm.

-OK.

Who's going to join me at the keypad?

Well, it's your number, so it's only fair that you get to put it in.

Lesley, let's make our way to the safe.

OK, Lesley. You've chosen the number nine...

I have, yes.

..as what could be the final number in your code.

£7,500.

What difference would it make to you and your family?

It would be fantastic.

To be honest, instead of spending it sensibly,

I probably would go on a holiday.

My husband's always wanted to go to Niagara Falls.

It's his ambition, so we wouldn't even think about it.

-We'd just go.

-Send us a postcard.

-I certainly will.

-Are you ready?

-I am ready.

-Punch in the number nine.

There it goes.

Seven and two already there.

Is the last number in the code nine? Making 972.

If it is, it will be a first.

It'll be against tremendous odds.

Is it a number nine?

Not this time. Not this time. We are still in the game.

-Yes.

-Happy to keep going?

-Yes.

-I should think so. Let's keep going.

Let's rejoin David.

Big breath. Right.

Deep breath. Relax. We have no idea how long this is going to take.

But if you're ready to carry on,

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

Well, erm.

I don't know what the first one is.

-No. I think we're going to have to obviously leave that one...

-Yep.

Until the very last.

Bananaman, he lived on Acacia Road.

I think Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie

might have done some of the narration.

He was called Eric, that was his alter ego.

-Right.

-New Zealand.

They are very passionate about their coffee.

They absolutely love it there, they're very advanced.

All Blacks.

Really hoping for the coffee connection there, David.

-I like that.

-What shall we go?

Bananaman or New Zealand?

-You go for it.

-Bananaman, please.

Brave.

That's ringing a bell.

But...

You're on your own, David.

That's a lot of pressure to be putting on me.

I remember we used to...

Me and Erin used to watch this together and...

I can remember the intro.

Do you know what? That's ringing a bell.

I'm going to say that is the correct answer.

You're doing at all by yourself.

All by myself. And I will take responsibility.

You seem to know a lot about Bananaman.

You're locking it in as the correct answer?

Yes.

Your son is brave, Lesley,

if nothing else.

If this is the correct answer,

again we don't need to bother

with the other two.

We might have missed out first time,

but this gives us a second chance to put that digit in

and find out what is your code.

Is Bananaman the correct answer?

David!

You thought he was wasting time.

You thought he was wasting time watching Bananaman

for all those years.

You knew... You knew it, didn't you?

It wasn't a waste of time at all, David.

It could get you £7,500. Fantastic.

Now, shall we have a look at the others?

-Yes.

-See how you would have fared with those.

Let's start with non sequitur.

You didn't have any idea what that meant.

-No.

-Let's see if the question helps you at all.

If you'd seen that, would you have been able to piece it together?

Well, non sounds... You could get non

from nothing, couldn't you? Maybe. But...

The reason I would say it wasn't right

was because I do know quite a lot of Latin phrases

and I've never heard of that one.

OK. Let's have a look at the question behind New Zealand.

See if that would have given you a chance, at all.

Well, we know it's not true.

Would you have plumped for that, do you think?

They were one of the first

to have a female Prime Minister.

-Right.

-Maybe.

-OK.

But not... Not that.

Nowhere near as nailed-on

as Bananaman was for David.

So, the right choice, first up. Well done.

Lesley, talk us through these answers.

Well done, Lesley and David.

And General Blight was the arch enemy of Bananaman,

who lived at 29 Acacia Road and, exactly as Lesley said,

he was voiced by Graeme Garden.

"Without this there is nothing", is a translation of sine qua non.

Non sequitur means it doesn't logically follow on.

And the first country in the world

to have a parliament where the majority of members were women.

Lesley, I think the New Zealand connection

you were thinking of is that New Zealand in 1893

was the first country in the world to give women the national vote.

All adult women.

Right, yes.

The correct answer is Rwanda.

Wow. Fascinating stuff.

Thank you, Lesley. And, well, here we are again.

As I say, this might not be the last time we do it,

but then again it might.

Two, seven, nine, all gone.

It leaves you with seven.

Again, long odds, but it's a chance.

It's a chance to open that door.

Take one of your numbers off your American football shirt.

Erm, well, I'm number 30.

So, may as well go for number three, maybe.

Who's going to punch it in?

-Me?

-Yes.

-Me.

OK. David, join me down at the safe.

OK. Second chances - they don't come very often,

but you've got one now.

-Yes.

-A chance to put the correct number in the code to complete it.

You've chosen the number three.

If it's correct,

you take away as much money as you we've ever had in the safe.

-Wow, OK.

-£7,500.

Big difference for your family.

-Very big difference, yes.

-Send your mum and dad on holiday.

-That'll feel good.

-Yeah. It will.

OK, if you're ready.

David, punch in the number three.

There it goes. The first space spinning around.

What we want to see is a number three.

£7,500 on its way to Lesley and David

if it's correct.

That's what we want.

We want 372.

It's another blip. I'm so sorry.

Long odds still.

Let's go and rejoin your mum.

OK, big sighs.

-Yes.

-Little bit disappointed, but we're still in there.

We're still fighting.

-Come on, let's do this.

-Exactly.

Let's do this.

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

Kylie Minogue. Material girl.

Is that Kylie Minogue?

-No, that's, erm, Madonna.

-OK.

Kylie Minogue, Neighbours, she was a mechanic.

She...

Australian. Sister to Dannii Minogue.

Six could be absolutely anything, couldn't it?

-Yeah, yeah.

-Sikhism, obviously...

a religion.

-Indian.

-What are you going to...?

I've got no preference there whatsoever.

Shall we just go for six then, maybe?

-Yes, yes.

-Yes.

-You want to go for six.

-Yes, please.

-Yes.

I'm thinking five.

I've just got...

I thought it was three.

Well, if I'm thinking five...

Oh, no. No, it's not. It's not. It's more.

I'm thinking of something else.

I don't think it would be as complex as six.

Cos six is going to take you quite a time

to do each character, isn't it?

Oh, dear.

So far, you've chosen your questions very well.

Are you feeling that maybe this one

is not jumping out at you in the same way?

-Yeah.

-Yes.

Erm, but we've both...

we've both got a feeling that six is not right.

OK. I don't know. I don't know.

We're going to say that is incorrect, please.

OK. We want to mark that as an incorrect answer.

We want this to show up red.

It gives us the chance to look

at either Kylie Minogue,

or Sikhism as a correct answer.

Six has got to show up red

or it's back to the farm.

Is it an incorrect answer?

It was six.

It was the correct answer.

Guys, I'm so sorry.

Shall we have a look at the other two questions?

Let's see if that would have helped you any more.

The question behind Kylie Minogue, please.

Was it a bit early for Kylie, maybe?

No. No, about 1988, I think she started.

-OK.

-We could well have said yes for that.

Yeah, so that wouldn't have helped you out.

-No.

-Let's have a look at the question behind Sikhism.

I think they are slightly more than four.

-Yeah.

-But I don't know.

You came up against a challenge there, Lesley and David.

Yes, in Braille characters are formed

with combinations of six dots.

There are 64 possible configurations.

The Australian singer who had the UK's biggest selling album of 1989.

Kylie Minogue did have an album at that time called Enjoy Yourself,

but outselling that was Ten Good Reasons by Jason Donovan.

I had both on cassette tape.

And the religion in which followers observe

the Four Noble Truths, not Sikhism but Buddhism.

-OK.

-OK.

So really we were clawing around with any one of those three...

-Yep.

-..we would have been struggling.

-Yep.

-Yep.

So unfortunately that's the way the questions came up on this occasion.

Right, twice we tried to put in the final figure.

It didn't work out.

Let's just have an idea -

which number do you think you would have gone for next?

Zero.

Let's have a look at the last figure in your code.

It was six.

So, six in the question, six up on the board.

It might have taken you a little bit longer.

-Yep.

-We hope it hasn't been too much of a disappointment for you.

-No, not at all.

-No.

-We absolutely loved it.

We've had a great day, thank you.

OK, and you will still try and get to Niagara at some point.

-Yes, absolutely.

-And keep planting trees.

-Yes.

-Keep making coffee.

Lesley and David, it's been such a pleasure to have you here with us.

On this occasion, I'm afraid you have failed to break the code.

You have to leave the game and go back to Cheshire,

-but we do say goodbye.

-Thanks, Matt.

-And the best of luck.

-Thank you very much.

-Lovely to meet you.

-Thank you. And you.

There go Lesley and David to plant more trees.

In the first couple of rounds, they were ripping up trees,

taking no prisoners.

But then they came up against questions they just couldn't handle.

However, their loss is our next contestant's gain,

because the jackpot goes up by £500 again,

making it our largest jackpot of this series.

Can anyone win it?

Let's meet the next person hoping to crack the code.

How are you doing? Pete, lovely to see you.

-Hello there, sir. How are you?

-Yeah, I'm all right, thanks.

Holding in there. Tell me about yourself.

I know you come from Jarrow in Tyne and Wear.

-I do indeed. Jarrow's famous for two things.

-Go on.

It has the Jarrow March, obviously, 1936, but it also has

the longest underground pedestrian tunnel in Europe.

Wow. That is the sort of knowledge that is going to take you a long way

-on this programme.

-I'm definitely hoping so, yes.

We're hoping for all the Jarrow questions to come up,

-one after the other.

-Yeah.

-That'd be brilliant.

-Yeah.

-What is it that you do up in Jarrow?

-I am a security consultant.

I supply security guards to large festivals and events,

-and stuff like that.

-OK, tell us about when you're not working,

the sorts of things that you enjoy.

I'm a massive James Bond fan.

What is it about the films you enjoy?

It's just the entire... The entire spectrum of the whole...

How they put everything together, the stunts,

the actors that play the recurring cast.

And especially the cars.

We're going to take a quickfire round now, are you ready?

-James Bond quickfire round.

-Go.

-Favourite Bond?

Tim Dalton, or Daniel Craig.

OK, split decision there. Favourite film?

Live And Let Die, or The Man With The Golden Gun.

-Still a split decision.

-That's the wrong answer.

LAUGHING: Lesley begs to differ.

Favourite ten seconds of any of the Bond films?

Erm, that has to be Sean Connery kissing the girl,

chucking the fire in the bath and saying, "Shocking."

HE LAUGHS OK, very specific there.

Well, listen, Pete. You're one of the brave here on The Code.

-You're trying to tackle The Code solo...

-I'm hoping so, yeah.

-..without anybody else to support you.

-Yep.

-It's a big job.

Only one person has done it successfully.

-But the stakes couldn't be much higher.

-Ooh.

They really couldn't, because Lesley and David,

they had two figures in their code,

but unfortunately hit a brick wall with some of the questions.

They failed. That means another £500 goes into the safe.

-And that makes a total of £8,000.

-Ooh-hoo!

-Yes.

-It's going home to Jarrow.

Well, let's hope it's on the train home to Jarrow with you tonight.

-Definitely.

-It's the biggest jackpot of the series so far.

It's been holding out for someone...

-Like me.

-Someone like you, possibly. Someone very special.

-Let's hope it's you.

-Yeah.

-But the first thing we have to do, Pete,

is we've got to reset the code.

There were go. Three blanks. We have to make those into three numbers.

-OK.

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

Remember, only one of those answers is correct.

-That's the one you're trying to find.

-OK.

At this point, you can open all the answers to reveal the questions.

The order you choose them in doesn't matter too much right now.

-OK.

-Where do you want to go first?

Geography's one of my weak spots, so we'll start with Croatia.

Good logic. I like it.

Let's see the question behind Croatia.

Which country is bordered by seven countries, including Germany,

Ukraine and the Czech Republic?

-Oh.

-Have you got a gut feeling?

I've got a gut feeling that that's actually correct.

Right. Which one do you want, Peter?

We'll go for Wonderwall cos I'm not a big Oasis fan.

I don't think it was... It was the one before Wonderwall.

-Gut instinct is saying that's wrong, is it?

-Yeah.

-Yep, OK. 27, please.

-OK.

C = 3, D = 4, E = 5.

So, that's three, four, five...

That's nine, that's 12.

O... M, N, O.

12. M's 13, 14, 15...

27. That's the right one.

I'm going to discount the other two.

-You want to lock that in as the incorrect answer?

-Yes, please.

We don't want to send you back to Jarrow. Not empty-handed, certainly.

-Definitely not.

-We want this to go green.

We want this to be the correct answer.

Is 27 the correct answer?

-Come on!

-THEY LAUGH

-Yes! That's what I'm talking about.

-That's what we're talking about.

-We just have to do that ten more times.

-Yep.

-It's going to be easy, I'm sure.

-Oh, that's fine. Yeah, yeah.

-Lesley.

-Yes, 27 is the right answer there. Well worked out.

And the country bordered by seven countries,

including Germany, Ukraine and the Czech Republic,

well, Croatia is far too far south for this.

-The correct answer is Poland.

-Poland.

And the 1995 chart battle, it was in all the newspapers,

on the radio, between Country House,

and not Wonderwall, Roll With It.

-Roll With It.

-You knew it.

-Brilliant.

If you'd had enough time, you would've got there.

But you didn't need it. A really positive, confident start

means we get to choose the first digit to enter into the keypad

and see if it's there in the code.

Can I have the number of my front door, a number five, please?

Five on the front door.

Let's give it a knock, see if it's in there.

Is it in the first box?

Ooh!

In like an arrow, the man from Jarrow.

Five, first in the first box.

-Brilliant.

-No mucking about.

I tell you what, that is... Ooh!

-That feels good, does it?

-It certainly does, yeah.

-It feels really good, yeah.

-It is good news. The first number

in the box. It takes us to the next level in the game.

-OK.

-Things do get harder now.

Because we still have three answers.

But this time we only get to see two of the questions behind them...

-Right.

-..before we have to make a decision to commit and reject one.

-OK. No bother.

-Let's have a look at the next three answers, Pete.

-Can I go with...

-Now, I know Quentin Blake used to do the illustrations

for the Mr Men. So, can I...?

-I'll stay with... I'll go with Quentin Blake, please.

-OK.

Ooh, now then. I thought Quentin Blake was an illustrator.

In fact, I'm pretty sure that he was an illustrator.

I don't think he was a writer. He was more of an illustrator.

We can have a look at another question before you have to commit

to any answers.

We'll go with blue, please.

Neutral. Live. Right, so, modern...

That's red, blue and green and yellow.

Green and yellow's the earth.

Red's the fuse.

Blue's...

No.

I didn't ever say that electrics was one of my strong points.

Erm...

Listen, all we've got to do is knock out the incorrect answer.

I'm going to get rid of Quentin Blake then, please.

We're going to say that Quentin Blake is an incorrect answer.

-That's right.

-We want to see it go red and disappear,

so that we can concentrate on the other two.

-We want one of those to be the correct answer.

-Absolutely right.

Is Quentin Blake an incorrect answer?

That's what we want.

-Oh, I didn't know I could jump that high.

-You got air there, Pete.

-Right.

-Silent, but beautiful.

Yes, Quentin Blake best known as an illustrator,

though he has written several books.

Green Eggs And Ham, and The Cat In The Hat, by Dr Seuss.

Although he would have pronounced it "Zoyce".

There you go. We got there.

We got there. It means we can dismiss it as an incorrect answer.

-It leaves us with two.

-Brilliant.

So, let's see the question behind Peter, Paul, Mary.

Peter, Paul and Mary. I don't think it was, mind.

Mind you, saying that, Peter, Paul and Mary

maybe took their name from that.

-HE SIGHS

-You see, I'm still stuck with blue.

I'm sure blue's live and brown's neutral.

In which case, can I lock in the Peter, Paul and Mary one

-as the right answer, because I'm sure blue's live?

-OK.

If it's incorrect, if it turns red,

-it does mean we will be saying goodbye to you, Pete.

-OK.

-We don't want to do that.

-No.

-We want to see another celebration like the last one.

-We do.

Make Peter, Paul and Mary a correct answer for Pete.

That's what it looks like. I'm so sorry I had to witness that.

-Not a problem at all. Not a problem at all.

-I'm really sorry, Pete.

Yes, you did have the blue and the brown the wrong way around.

Blue is neutral, brown is live.

-Yellow and green are the earth colours.

-Earth, yeah.

And in The Great Escape, the three tunnels,

not Peter, Paul and Mary, but Tom, Dick and Harry.

-Harry.

-If you remember, in the film,

only three of them get away in the end.

Ah, well, I've had a good day. It's been fabulous.

Listen, if nothing else, Pete, we've loved having you here.

We may have prevented you from electrocuting yourself...

-Well...

-..at some point in the future.

-I'm hoping so, yeah.

-It's not been a wasted journey.

-Yeah.

-You're fantastic.

-Thank you.

I feel like a Bond villain now.

-Yeah.

-But it's been fun on the short trip that we took together, Pete.

It has. It's been absolutely, absolutely amazing.

Good stuff. You've failed to break the code, unfortunately,

and so you have to leave the game. We have to bid you goodbye.

-Our best wishes back to Jarrow.

-Thank you, sir.

-Lovely part of the world.

-Thank you, it's been absolutely fabulous time.

-Thank you.

-Cheers, Pete.

-Bye-bye.

Oh, man. He just was doing so well...for that one question.

But then, no, it all went horribly wrong, as he quite literally

got his wires crossed.

But Pete's loss is our next contestant's gain,

because now the jackpot goes up by another £500.

Let's meet the next team hoping to crack the code.

Here they are. Lovely to see you. Laura, how are you?

-I'm good, thank you.

-Jack?

-Very good.

-And Lewis?

-Hiya.

Right, good stuff. Now, this is a team.

This is what I like to see. You guys are from Cambridge.

-Yep.

-We are.

-And how do you know each other?

So, we all work at the same music venue, arts venue,

theatre, combination, doing different roles there.

But we're all fairly front of house, as well as office-based.

OK. Great. So you're all in the same office?

-We are, yeah.

-Tight, little group.

-Mm-hm, definitely.

-Know each other inside out.

-Is that the way it works?

-Yeah.

-Relatively.

-I'm confident that we know each other.

Sometimes too much, but I think, you know, we'll do what we can and...

-Well, were a good team.

-Yeah.

-We work well together

working together, so I feel like we can go forward.

Well, you know what, if there was ever a time to work well together,

this is it. It's very, very exciting.

Because, sadly, lovely Pete from Jarrow failed.

That means another £500 goes into the safe.

And that makes £8,500.

-Tasty.

-OK.

-Tasty, indeed.

To split between you if you're successful,

and we sincerely hope that you are. Why shouldn't it be you?

If you're ready, Jack, Laura and Lewis, we'll reset the code.

Three blanks.

We don't want you to be three blanks.

We want you to provide us with the numbers to go in there.

If you're ready, shall we have a look at your first three answers?

-Let's do it.

-Please.

-Let's go.

-There they are.

-Where would you like to start?

-Shall we start at the top?

-Start at the top, makes sense.

-Yeah, sharks.

-Keep it simple.

And see the question behind sharks.

What types of fish have both eyes on the same side of their heads?

-Doesn't seem right.

-No.

-No.

-Definitely the hammerhead shark...

-Hammerheads.

-..has very different faraway eyes.

-Absolutely.

-Yeah.

-So, yeah...

We don't need to discount it yet, but...

You don't need to make a decision on it until you've seen all three.

Let's see Jaguar.

-Hm.

-See, I have a feeling that Silver something is Rolls-Royce.

-Yeah.

-Silver Phantom was, so...

-I immediately...

-Don't all Jaguars have, like, letters?

-Like X?

-Yeah, I feel they do.

-S-Type and that kind of thing.

-Cars aren't my strong point...

-No, me neither.

-No, me neither. Well, you know, let's see cats.

It sounds about right.

Yeah. I mean, we know that Elaine Paige...

I know Elaine Paige and Sarah Brightman are definitely musical.

-Wayne Sleep, dancer.

-Brian Blessed.

-Brian Blessed, legend.

-He'd make anything better.

-Yeah.

Why wouldn't you want him in Cats?

We know it's definitely by Lloyd Webber and I think '81

-fits around the correct timeframe.

-It's about the right time.

-Yeah.

-So we know in our trio that sharks is...

-Yeah, we're ruling out sharks, aren't we?

-We know that.

And we've employed logic for Jaguar.

I think we can look at it and I'm not sure of it myself, but...

I'd say Cats. I'm happy to say Cats.

-Yeah, Cats.

-We want to lock that in as the correct answer?

-Let's lock it in.

-Yes, please, Matthew.

It would be a great start if it was.

Brian Blessed will be pleased to hear that he makes

everything better.

Is Cats our correct answer?

Great stuff. That's a good start.

-I'm assuming green means good, right?

-Yeah, that's good.

-That's what we wanted.

-Cool.

-Lesley?

That's right. Laura, you recognised Sarah Brightman and Elaine Paige

as names from musical theatre.

Elaine Paige played Grizabella, the Glamour Cat,

gave a rendition of Memory, the very famous song from Cats.

The types of fish that have both eyes on the same side

of their heads, the correct answer is flatfish.

The make of car which had models called the Silver Cloud,

Silver Ghost and Silver Shadow,

again, you came in straightaway and said you didn't think it was Jaguar,

but Rolls-Royce, as in Charles Rolls and Henry Royce.

Thank you, Lesley. And a great start for you guys.

We're off the mark now.

That gives us the chance to choose a digit from the keypad.

Three unique numbers make up the code.

You just need to find the right three.

Where do you want to start, and who's deciding?

Laura, you pick.

OK. Erm, I'll go for number eight.

-Oh, eight?

-Wrong.

-Good choice.

It is a good choice. What a great number.

Let's see if it's there for you.

In the first box, do we have a number eight?

-Oh, Laura.

-Do we have an eight in the second box?

Early days.

It's not there. Is there a number eight in the final box?

I believe there is.

-Oh...

-There is no eight.

-OK.

-It's fine. It's fine.

I tell you what, the longer we go with this game,

the more we're finding it's a real advantage to knock numbers out

without moving up a level, where it gets more difficult.

So, "Well done, Laura," is what you should be saying.

-BUZZER

-Yes, yes.

-Oh.

That sound means we've come to the end of the show.

But a very good start.

Do you think you can carry on in the same vein?

I feel we can. You know, we started well. We worked together as a team,

did some deciphering and here we still are.

OK. Lesley, thank you so much. You've been magnificent, as always.

You're very welcome. Jack, Laura and Lewis, a great start.

Looking forward to seeing you make further progress tomorrow.

Yes, indeed.

And be sure to join us tomorrow for the final show of the series,

when Jack, Laura and Lewis try to win the highest jackpot so far,

£8,500.

We've got everything crossed.

Thank you for watching. And it's goodbye from me.
