Episode 25 The Code

Hello, and welcome to The Code.

£8,500 is locked inside the safe - the biggest jackpot of the series.

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

Each time someone fails,

more money's added and the jackpot goes up and up.

Last time, Jack, Laura and Lewis from Cambridge had just got going,

picking one number, number eight,

that wasn't in the code before we ran out of time.

So let's welcome them back.

Here they are, good to see you again, Laura,

Jack and Lewis.

-All right.

-Great to have you back.

Obviously, we know you're from Cambridge and you work in a music venue.

You are the trio that makes the rock roll.

-Yeah.

-That about right?

-In a way we are, yeah.

We play our part. In a financial, marketing...

-other stuff way.

-You are the engine room, that's what I'm going to say.

-Yes, absolutely.

-OK. And that means you must come into contact with

artists, some pretty unpredictable situations and people.

Do they ever turn round and say at the last minute, "Hold on,

"we can't go on, I've got something that needs sorting out"?

Oh, all the time. That's part of the job.

But we're kind of used to it now.

I think the first few times you're a bit stumped by it.

But you get used to things changing last minute and it's just part of

-putting on live events.

-The first few times,

it feels like you've got a story.

You're like, "Wow, this is an anecdote that is going to rock people with

"its diva-ish proportions."

And then it just becomes another day of going, "That's fine,

-"I can deal with that."

-Really?

What is the stuff you've been asked to provide?

I think provide has been fine.

It's been cleaning up after some

people who have done some things in some odd

-places that has been...

-LAUGHTER

..the more odd part of the job.

Rock and roll is so glamorous, isn't it?

That's what you're trying to tell me.

Actually, at one o'clock in the morning,

there's you on your hands and knees sorting out the night before.

-Brilliant.

-That sums it up.

-Listen, it's lovely to have you with us.

We did absolutely brilliantly last time.

Fantastic start, working well as a team.

Let's see if we can keep that going.

But before we crack on, let's say hello to Lesley.

Welcome back again.

I hope you can become our biggest winners this series.

Now, let's remind ourselves where we are.

When we left you guys last time, you had already chosen the number eight,

the first number you tried.

But it wasn't in the code.

If you're ready, let's see your next three answers.

Now, remember, only one of them is correct.

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

At this point, you get to open all three answers to reveal the questions behind.

Where would you like to start?

-Let's go bottom top?

-Yeah, bottom top, I reckon.

OK, let's see the question behind Bananas, please.

-I know this one.

-They definitely look like them

-and I think they are more savoury than normal bananas.

-I have.

-I have.

-But I've never tasted one.

They're used in North African cuisine.

-And Asian cooking, as well.

-So I know...

We're feeling quite good about that one.

-Let's see Go.

-OK, let's have a look at the question behind Go.

-Stop.

-Stop. We were singing some Spice Girls to ourselves.

-And actually,

Lewis was watching Spice World the other night.

-Only recently. I love Spice World.

-Really?

It's taken you this long to get round to it?

Definitely. I thought, yeah, it's the time. It's the time to watch it.

OK, let's have a look at the question behind Farmer's Llamas.

Yeah, definitely think that's The Wrong Trousers.

The penguin with the glove on his head.

Terrifying, terrifying.

We are looking for the one correct answer here.

-We need to lock that in.

-Bananas.

-So we're going Bananas?

Yes, without a doubt.

Let's lock it in as a correct answer.

We want that to be our correct answer to allow the Cambridge Three to progress to

the next stage.

Good stuff, good stuff.

Chapter and verse.

Yes, you recognised that plantains are the savoury food

similar to bananas.

You mentioned that they're a staple food in Africa.

And the Aardman Animations film which sees Wallace and Gromit encounter

Feathers McGraw, not the Farmer's Llamas, which is Shaun The Sheep,

but exactly as you said,

The Wrong Trousers.

And the title of a number two UK hit for the Spice Girls,

in fact their first UK number two after six number ones,

exactly as you said again - Stop.

If you've seen Spice World recently,

you might be able to tell us the name of the bus driver?

-It's Meatloaf.

-It is, playing Dennis.

Dennis the bus driver.

SHE LAUGHS

-Thank you, Lesley. No extra credit for that, though, Lewis.

-Cool.

In fact, I might subtract points!

LAUGHTER

OK, good stuff.

Chapter and verse on all three answers there,

and it gets you the chance to choose another digit to go into the code.

-Which one next?

-Let's go for nine.

Is number nine in our codes?

Is it in the first box?

No number nine. Is it in the second box?

No, it's not there.

Is number nine in the third and final box of the code?

It's not in the code, but not a bad thing.

The good news is that we no longer have to consider nine.

And it means we continue to play the game, seeing the big picture.

All three question at the same time.

Are you happy with the name Cambridge Three?

It sounds like we might be criminals.

Yeah, that's what I thought a little bit.

I mean, if you've got an alternative name,

-we can have a round to think about it.

-Definitely, we'll come back to that.

All right. Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Here are your next three answers.

-Great. Shall we start in the middle?

-Let's go for Gandhi.

-OK.

-I think he was assassinated, right?

-Yes.

-Some of his family were, too.

-I...

-But... Yeah.

-It's plausible...

-But I think we need the other questions.

-OK, where do you want to go next?

-I think Vine leaves.

I thought vine leaves was like dolmades.

-Something like that?

-It's normally, like, stuffed with rice,

is that what you're thinking?

-Souvlaki is definitely a Greek food.

-Yeah.

Let's see Luxembourg and then...

-Park it for now?

-Yes.

OK, let's have a look at the question behind Luxembourg.

-What about Monaco, though?

-That's what I was thinking.

-Oh, yes.

-Because I know they definitely have a prince,

-rather than someone higher than that.

-Co-Prince, yes.

-So...

-Co-Prince of Monaco would make more sense.

-I agree. I think.

And definitely Monaco are in the French Football League,

so I know they've got a stronger link to France.

Even though they're both very small countries,

-I think Monaco's a lot smaller.

-Where does that leave us, then?

We've got three there, only one can be the correct answer.

-Let's go with Ghandi, then, shall we?

-Let's do this, let's go for Gandhi.

OK, we're going to lock in Mahatma Gandhi as the correct answer.

We want that to go green.

If it's the wrong answer, then I'm afraid, thank you, Cambridge,

goodnight. Is Mahatma Gandhi

the correct answer?

THEY CHEER

-Never in doubt.

-Fantastic.

LAUGHTER

Well done, yes. Meatloaf drove the Spice Girls, but, Lewis,

you were driving the bus on this question.

The Nobel Peace Prize was not awarded in 1948,

because Mahatma Gandhi had

been assassinated on 30 January that year.

And it was proclaimed that there was no suitable living candidate.

In Greek cuisine, what are souvlaki?

You said that you thought dolmades were vine leaves.

Yes, they're stuffed vine leaves. The correct answer here is skewers.

Usually with meat, sometimes with bits of vegetables, as well.

And the President of France is also Co-Prince of which country?

Not Luxembourg, but Andorra.

Fantastic stuff.

Now, I need your team name.

This is it, what is the name of the band?

Ready, set...awesome!!!

With a comma after ready, and ellipses after set,

and three exclamation marks...

After awesome. Punctuation is important.

Awesome might also be in caps.

-We can work on that.

-OK, well, it's going very well, Ready, set...

awesome!!! With the gap there.

Because you get to put in your next digit.

Who's going to choose the next one?

-Lewis.

-I will go with number one, please.

Number one, says the driver of the bus on the last round.

Will this band get a number one in the first box?

No number one. How about the second box?

-Oh, my gosh.

-There we are.

Number one slap bang in the middle and we've really now made a bit of

progress there. Three numbers down, one number in your code.

That means we move on to the next level and it does get a bit harder.

Really got to focus now.

As before, you see three answers.

But this time you'll only see the questions behind two of them

before you have to commit.

-All clear?

-Yes.

-Right, let's see your next three answers.

Right. We need to think about this.

So, Top Gun,

-I feel like..

-It will probably be the film.

I've never seen it and everyone says, you should really see it.

-I know about it.

-Another premise.

Mamba could be a black mamba.

-A dance?

-Maybe.

A strong wind...

-I feel like we should start with Top Gun.

-Yeah.

-OK.

OK. Let's have a look at the question behind Top Gun.

See, the one thing I think I do know about it

is I think it was Take My Breath Away.

It was Take My Breath Away.

You're the '80s music expert, I think.

Who sang Take My Breath Away?

Something like that.

We've no need to discount it straightaway, cos we get another.

What did you think, though? Mamba or A strong wind?

Let's go strong wind because I think that's a little bit...

-I like the lack of capitalisation.

-It might be like a definition.

-Maybe.

-OK.

We're going to have a look at the question behind A strong wind.

Anyone know anything about Mae West?

She's an actress.

She wasn't in Gone With The Wind?

-I don't think so.

-No.

I don't think she played Scarlett O'Hara, that was someone else.

But that would make sense,

if a strong wind was named after an actress,

it would be something like Scarlett O'Hara

with maybe Gone With The Wind.

Mae West, Mae West...

-A connection there.

-True.

So we say that might be the one?

Shall we get rid of Top Gun?

Of the two, it's the one that we're nearer thinking it's definitely not right.

Absolutely. We're more confident with Top Gun.

We want to mark that down as an incorrect answer?

-Yeah.

-That gives us the chance to look at the question behind Mamba.

We want that one to go red. Is that an incorrect answer?

Got it, great stuff.

Yes, Lewis and Laura led the way with this one.

Show Me Heaven by Maria McKee, not from Top Gun.

You rightly said that was Take My Breath Away by Berlin,

released in 1986.

An Oscar-winning song, in fact.

The correct answer, Days Of Thunder.

The song reached number one in 1990 in the UK charts.

Thank you, Lesley. It's great news, we can get rid of Days Of Thunder.

It's an incorrect answer and we can have a look now at the question behind Mamba.

-I wish I'd heard of one more of them.

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Black mamba's the only one I know... from Kill Bill.

-Yes.

We know that is for sure,

that is what we said at the start when we saw this answer.

Mae West...

-Let's just think about...

-What else could it be?

At sea? West is also a direction.

So it could be like...

Are we thinking along the lines of we're going to go with

Mamba, because we know for sure?

We know that black's one and we know that there are other sorts of mamba.

-We've got to go for Mamba, haven't we?

-I think so, yeah.

-Let's do it.

-Cool.

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

We want it to go green,

we want to give these guys another chance for the biggest jackpot that

we've had so far this series.

£8,500.

None of that's going to happen unless this goes green.

-Yes!

-Yes, well done, you had good instincts on this one.

The deadly and quick mamba, the correct answer to this question.

At sea, the Mae West, this is rhyming slang.

It's not a strong wind, but a life vest or life jacket.

And it is said that when the witty Mae West found out that the RAF were

calling their life jackets Mae Wests,

she wrote them a letter to say thanks and to express her delight.

Fantastic. Thank you, Lesley, and thank you Ready, set...

awesome!!! for taking us another step closer.

We have three numbers that you've chosen.

One, eight, nine.

One of them stuck. What are we going to go for next?

-We're going to go for number five.

-Number five.

Is number five there?

Two spots left, can we find it in the first box?

Nothing in the first box.

And in the final box?

No number five.

-I'm consistent!

-It's another number counted out.

You're still at the level of the game

where you get to see two questions.

I promise you at the next level, it's much harder.

-Are we ready?

-Yeah.

-Are we set?

-Damn right.

Are we awesome? ALL: Always!

Let's open the next three answers.

We only get two, though, don't we?

I think Ding dong... What does it mean?

-A Ding dong is like...

-A bell?

Yeah, sure...

-I think it was a Leslie Phillips catchphrase.

-Yeah.

I think Brazil... Because of the World Cup from a few years ago,

I think me and Jack's knowledge of Brazil,

certainly culturally and football-y.

Could be about the nut, or Alan Brazil.

Both great people, love them all.

Head shaving, a little bit more nebulous, so I wouldn't...

-OK, Ding dong's good.

-We're going to open the question behind Ding dong.

I'm pretty sure that the term he used was something like Wiff waff.

Oh, yes.

He claimed that was an old term for it.

I think you might be right there.

OK, we get to open one more before you have to make a decision.

-I think we should go for Brazil.

-I'd like to see Brazil.

Let's go for Brazil.

I don't think it's Brazil, especially after the film Frida, was it Kahlo?

Where she played Frida Kahlo?

Yes, that's more Central America, possibly Mexican.

Yeah.

I feel like she's Colombian or something that,

rather than Brazilian.

Also, I'm pretty sure she's Spanish speaking and Brazil is Portuguese.

OK, which one of these do we want to reject?

-Get rid of Ding dong.

-Ding dong.

We don't like Ding dong, we think it's Wiff waff.

If it goes red, if it's incorrect,

we get to see the question behind head shaving.

Is Ding dong an incorrect answer?

-Ding dong! Brilliant.

-Lesley?

Yes, with this one you rejected Ding dong,

the catchphrase of Leslie Phillips,

and you also said that the correct answer was Wiff waff.

Boris Johnson claimed that Wiff waff was the original name for table tennis.

The International Table Tennis Federation has rejected this.

When we were at school, it used to be ping pong.

We can dismiss that as an incorrect answer and we can open the question

behind Head shaving.

Is it something to do with scalping?

That's the thing, there's definitely a history in different religious

-things of going bald or making this bit in the middle bald.

-Yeah.

So it feels right.

The word, I've never heard.

-No.

-I can't even break it down.

I feel it will be counterintuitive to go against Head shaving.

We shouldn't go against our gut when we don't know what tonsure means.

Percentages?

-70-30?

-65-35.

65-35 in favour of Head shaving as the correct answer.

-Yeah.

-Am I right?

-Yes.

OK, let's lock in Head shaving as a correct answer.

We want that to go green.

We want Head shaving, therefore, to be the correct answer.

LAUGHTER

Great.

Great combination of different effects coming into play there.

-Lesley?

-That was fantastic.

You had more information there about the wrong answer than the right answer

and that helped you to decide that a tonsure is a religious practice

involving head shaving.

Typically, there's a bald patch on the top and hair around the sides.

The actress Salma Hayek, where was she born and raised?

You said the correct answer, but in relation to Frida Kahlo.

Both Mexican.

The correct answer is Mexico.

OK, good stuff.

Team Ready, set...

awesome!!!, we have four figures gone from the keypad.

Six left, only two to find.

Where are we going to go next?

I'm going to go...

for number six.

Two boxes left to fill.

Is number six in there?

If it is, we are getting perilously close

to getting our hands on £8,500.

Is it in the first box?

Yes!

It's just got real!

LAUGHTER

Now it really does start to feel like that money could be coming your way, doesn't it?

A little bit.

Six, one, blank.

You've got two numbers, one left to find.

But here we are at the next level,

where things do get much more difficult.

Now, as before, you get three answers.

but you only get to open one question at a time, before you have to commit.

Remember, only one of the questions is correct.

Are we ready?

ALL: Yes.

-Let's do this.

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

Twelfth Night. In the middle.

-Shakespeare.

-Shakespeare.

-Good.

-Milan...

-Italian city.

-Yeah.

Art. Fashion, as well.

-Yeah. Football.

-Internationally and Milan.

-Guitar.

-I mean, I play it.

Shall we go for Twelfth Night?

-Let's go for it.

-Shall we go for Twelfth Night? I feel like we should.

-OK.

OK, the selection at this stage absolutely critical.

The one that you are going for is the question behind Twelfth Night.

I immediately don't think that's correct.

Why? Have you got a...?

I feel like Midsummer Night's Dream, no?

Yeah, I think that rings a bell for me.

Because...

It's all... If music be...

Yeah, because they start off being...

It's all a bit forest party, isn't it?

In a... Yeah. There is definitely a gathering in the start and I think

they are organising a party or something like that.

Let's do... Let's take our time.

We are definitely right, if it is Midsummer Night's dream,

-I think it's, like, one of those comedy ones.

-It wouldn't be The Tempest?

-If music be...

-No, it is definitely not that.

-It's not The Tempest.

-And I know it's not Romeo And Juliet.

-No.

-That's...

-Two houses.

-Two households both alike...

It's not Macbeth because that is about some witches.

-Yeah.

-Dark.

-This is really hard.

-It is pretty hard.

I would like to see the other questions, please.

Yeah, there is a problem with that. This is hard.

If you've got, if you have got a gut feeling, Jack,

-I am happy to go with that.

-OK.

To lord it over you for the rest of time.

Yeah, we could get, we could get separate trains home.

-What are we going to do?

-False.

-False, yeah.

-Yeah, so we're going to... We are going to mark this as an incorrect answer.

-Yeah.

We want this to turn red,

otherwise the tour bus is going to screech to a halt.

Is Twelfth Night an incorrect answer?

ALL GROAN

Gutted!

I thought you had it, I thought you had it.

-No!

-It's fine.

I really did, I am so sorry.

Let us have a look at the others...

-OK.

-..and see if either of those would have helped you any more.

Marco Polo International Airport serves which European city?

We know it's wrong.

We are pretty sure that's Venice.

You are pretty sure it's Venice?

Let's have a look at guitar.

In India, what kind of instrument is a tabla?

Wouldn't have had a clue on that one.

-No.

-It might be a drum, I think.

-Yeah, that sounds the one I might...

You think it's a drum.

Oh, I am really sorry. "If music be the food

"of love, play on," I am very sorry that you can't, that's a line spoken

in Twelfth Night by Duke Orsino.

Twelfth Night, a comedy play which centres on a

love triangle involving Duke Orsino who loves the Countess Olivia,

Olivia loves Viola who is dressed as a man and Viola loves Duke Orsino.

Marco Polo International Airport - as soon as you saw this,

you knew that that is the main airport serving Venice.

Malpensa is the main airport for Milan.

And in India, the kind of instrument which is a tabla,

again you knew this straight away, it is a drum.

More properly a pair of drums.

Thank you, Lesley. So there you go, it is agonising,

if you saw either of those questions,

if you had have picked them first, would have given you a better clue.

-Yeah.

-It makes it easier if you don't get the right numbers early on

but you can't help it, they are random.

And you made that progress. You played brilliantly as a team and, you know,

-it sounds like you have a lot of fun doing what you are doing.

-We do.

-It is really great.

Ready, set...awesome!!!,

you have failed to crack the code, therefore you have to leave the game.

It is time for you, Jack, Laura and Lewis, to ready, set, go.

-But thank you so much.

-Thank you so much.

-Take care. Take care, Laura.

-Thank you.

Cheers, thank you.

Oh, my goodness, Ready, set... awesome!!!,

back to Cambridge but their loss is our next contestants' game because,

once again, the money goes up. So let us meet the next team hoping

to crack The Code.

Here we go, gents. Lovely to meet you. Rob.

-Nice to meet you.

-Tony.

-Yep.

-And Billy.

-Hi, you all right?

How are you doing? Right, so three brothers.

-Yep.

-All from Camborne in Cornwall.

-That is right.

-And exciting, all serving in the Royal Navy.

-Yeah, yeah.

-Yes.

-But doing different things.

-How about you, Tony?

-I am an engineer on a submarine, usually.

At the moment I'm shore-based as a firefighting instructor at HMS Raleigh.

Right. So, hold on, it is your job to put out fires on submarines,

if and when they break out.

Well, yeah, it is everyone's job really, it's...

But at the moment I'm instructing people how to do that.

Right, OK. How about you, Rob?

-What do you do?

-I am a firefighting instructor at Raleigh, as well, with

Tony, we work together, but my specialisation is a weapon engineer,

so I am out in the fleet.

And when I am out in the fleet, I'm fixing guns and stuff like that.

The big gun on the front of the ship is mine and everything that goes bang.

Fantastic. How about you, Billy?

I am a weapons engineer, as well, currently on RFA Argus.

And I maintain all of the

close-range weapons and account for all of the ammunition.

Right. So we are literally looking at the big guns here.

A pretty formidable group we have here. We wish you the very, very best.

We are at a very exciting stage of this series,

the jackpot is as high as it has ever been, high stakes,

and it would divide very nicely between the three of you because

Jack, Laura and Lewis failed, they called themselves, Ready, set... awesome!!!,

it didn't work out. So another £500 goes into the safe

and that makes a total of £9,000.

Three grand per brother.

-That would do.

-Here we go, action stations, let's reset the code.

Right, three blanks, we want to turn those into three numbers.

That'll make the door open and you can get your hands on whatever's inside there.

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

Remember, only one of those is correct and that is the one you are trying

to find. At this point,

you can open all three answers to see the questions.

Where do you want to start first?

-What do we know most about?

-Beer.

-Beer.

-That was unanimous.

I like that. Let's have a look at the question behind Beer.

-Right, Scrumpy Jack is cider, isn't it?

-Yes.

-We know about scrumpy.

-We know about scrumpy.

-Being West Country boys.

-Yeah.

-It does feel like that one may have turned up quite nicely for you.

-Where shall we go next?

-Let's go for Queen.

-Yeah.

-Queen.

-Music.

-OK, the question behind Queen, please.

I know she's the boss.

Or am I thinking queen bee?

Queen bee, I would lean towards that.

I will tell you what, I am more happy with that than I am with

-scrumpy being beer.

-Yeah.

OK. I think we need to look at the last one.

-Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy is all I know about Douglas Alexander. Yeah.

-OK, let's have a look at that.

Douglas Alexander, the question behind that, please.

-That was... That was.

-No, it wasn't. It wasn't.

-Succeed.

-Alex...

-That was Alex Salmond.

-Alex Salmond, yeah.

So it is not Douglas Alexander.

-No.

-OK.

-So scrumpy is not beer.

-So it has got to be Queen then.

-It has got to be the right answer for us.

-That is what we're going to lock in as the correct answer?

-Please.

-Here we go, boys.

Let's find out if our guys from Camborne can get their first correct

answer. Is Queen a correct answer?

-Good start.

-Boys, boys.

That's the way to do it, it is nice to get over the first one, isn't it?

We don't want to be leaving just this quickly.

Well done. Yes,

the Queen is the boss of a beehive but also in charge of an ant colony.

Yes, who did Nicola Sturgeon succeed as leader of the Scottish National Party?

Rob, you were straight in there with the correct answer to this -

which is Alex Salmond.

-Douglas Alexander was the one who lost his seat to Mhairi Black in the 2015 General Election.

-Yeah.

And scrumpy is a form of which alcoholic drink.

Well, I would have been surprised if you hadn't got this one,

you mentioned Scrumpy Jack which is a make of cider.

It's time to pick a number.

There they are, zero to nine,

ten numbers to choose from and there are three boxes in the code,

three unique numbers, they are all going to be different.

So where do you want to go first?

-I reckon, if it was me... Let's go for two.

-Two.

-All our service numbers start with two.

OK, number two. All in agreement?

-Yes.

-Let's find out, is the number two in your code?

Have a look first in the first box.

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

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

-No number two.

-That is all right.

-That is good.

-It is good.

-Get them out the way sooner.

-You get them out of the way when the

questions are all there for you to see.

Fewer to deal with when it could be harder further down the line.

OK, let's see your next three answers.

-Kilogram, 2.2lb.

-Yep. 1,000 grams.

1,000 grams. Metric.

-OK. Halloween?

-31st of October.

-31st.

-Yeah. Michael Myers film. Yep.

-Do you want to start from the bottom again?

-Yeah, go on.

-It worked all right last time.

OK, the question behind Halloween, please.

-It's Nightmare On Elm Street.

-Yeah, it is.

-I said it already. Halloween was Michael Myers.

-Jason. Yeah, no.

Jason was Friday The 13th.

-Yeah.

-I feel like you pre-empted that one.

Where do you want to go next?

Let's go... Kilogram.

-Kilogram?

-Yeah.

-Please.

-OK, the question behind Kilogram, please.

-I will give you that.

-We will stick to that.

Shall we go straight up to Turnip and see what it says, anyway?

Let's have a look if you feel that confident.

The question behind Turnip, please.

-Well, that is a pumpkin.

-That was a pumpkin, yes.

-So back round to...

-We're locking in the middle?

-I think so.

-Yep.

Lock in the middle, please, Matt.

The brothers in agreement.

We want Kilogram to be correct answer.

Let's lock it in.

We want Kilogram to go green, we want that to be the correct answer.

-Yes!

-There it is.

-Cheers, boys.

-Well done,

you were very happy with that question and answer pairing

as soon as you saw it. Kilogram, the correct answer.

In the Disney versions of Cinderella,

the fairy godmother turns a pumpkin into a carriage,

exactly as you said.

There is now a variety of pumpkin called the Cinderella.

And Freddy Krueger is the villain in which series of horror films?

Again, you knew that this was wrong as soon as you saw it.

Halloween is Michael Myers,

Freddy Krueger is in A Nightmare On Elm Street.

All good, it buys you the chance to choose another digit from the code,

see if it sticks. Two's gone, there are nine left.

We haven't got any up there yet. Who is going to choose the next one?

-I think three? Four. Four or three.

-Go for four.

All of them start with four.

Go on, let's go four.

-Four, please.

-Is the number four in our code?

Is it in the first box?

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

No. Is it in the third and final box?

-Oh, no.

-Still?

-It is good news.

-Yeah.

-I see it as a good thing.

It is nice to get them out of the way.

We are still playing at the easiest level.

-Yes.

-All good stuff so far.

Shall we see your next three answers?

Yes, please.

-Chief Scout is...ex SAS bloke.

-It's not Bear Grylls?

-Yes, it is.

-Is it Bear Grylls?

-It is Bear Grylls who is the Chief Scout.

-Yes. Definitely.

-OK.

-Arsenal.

-Arsenal...

-I don't want to talk about...

-Tottenham fans.

-You are Tottenham fans?

-Yeah.

Pitch black.

Was it Vin Diesel? Vin Diesel, isn't it?

Which one do you want to open first?

Let's go for what's worked for us so far, shall we, boys?

Yeah, let's go bottom to top again.

Bottom to top. The question behind Chief Scout, please.

Was it 2009?

Whether it is 2009, is the question, but so far we know it is Bear Grylls.

-Yeah.

-But whether or not it was 2009...

I think Peter Duncan was before.

Yeah. Well, let's move up to the second.

Let's keep it on the back burner and move up, shall we?

OK, we are going to park that one for now.

Question behind Arsenal, please.

Audere est facere.

Tottenham's motto was - to dare is to do.

-There you go.

-Sounds pretty good.

And the final question - behind Pitch black, please.

-It is pea green.

-Pea green.

-Let's look in the bottom then, shall we?

-OK.

-Yes.

-Can we lock in Bear Grylls as Chief Scout, please?

Let's lock it in, Chief Scout as our correct answer.

-Days!

-Happy days!

-That's the badger!

That's what we like, that is the badger.

Yes, the role in which Bear Grylls replaced Peter Duncan in 2009 is Chief Scout.

The first Chief Scout was Lord Baden-Powell who shared his birthday,

the 22nd of February,

with his wife and Girl Guides all over the world celebrate the

22nd February as Thinking Day,

a day to give thanks for guiding around the world.

In the poem by Edward Lear,

what colour is the boat in which the owl and the pussycat go to sea.

They go to sea in a beautiful pea green boat.

And the football club which removed the Latin motto,

you knew this straightaway, Tottenham Hotspur.

As Spurs fans - if you'd got that wrong,

you would never have been able to show your faces at White Hart Lane again. But you got it right.

It means you get the chance to choose another digit to try in the code.

Two and four have gone, there are eight left.

-Where next?

-We did say two, four and three, didn't we?

-Let's go with that.

Because even if it's wrong, it is good for us.

I would rather it is wrong, let's go for three.

OK, three, please.

Yeah, that's right, wrong is the new right.

If we get three in the code it takes us one step closer to £9,000.

Is three there?

Is it in the first box?

No three there. Is there a three in the middle box?

There is no three there.

Is there a three in the third and final box?

-Oh.

-OK.

-Oh, indeed.

We have moved on now, we have got our first number in the code.

Two, three and four all off the keypad.

It's leaving you with seven to choose.

That means we now move to the next level and things get a little bit more

interesting because, as before, you get all three answers but this time

you only get to see the questions two at a time before you have to make a decision.

-OK.

-You have to commit to one of them being wrong.

-OK.

-OK.

-OK.

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

Obviously at this stage it becomes much more important what order you

-choose to look at these.

-Yeah, I think we're going to be,

out of the three of them, I think we are going to be better with Cheese,

to be honest. So I would say let's stick...

-Definitely have Cheese first.

-Yeah. What else do we want?

First spacewalk, that is going to be a guess whatever, I think.

So let's go Cheese and Cyprus. Get rid of one and then put it down to 50-50.

-Yeah.

-Good with that?

-Right, yeah.

-Happy with that.

-Yes, please.

We are going to look at the question behind Cheese first.

-Chocolate.

-One million per cent chocolate.

-Yeah, I am sure of that.

-OK.

-OK.

-One million per cent.

So let's get Cyprus and get rid of it.

-Yeah.

-And then we don't care about spacewalks, do we?

OK. We've got a plan here.

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

-I think it is.

-Right, we're definitely getting rid of the top one, aren't we?

-Cheese is gone.

-Cheese is gone.

I think... I think Ayia Napa is Cyprus.

I think it is. Let's get rid of Cheese and then hope we end up with, like, erm...

I don't know. I'm sure it is, because when they go for decompression leave

they go to Ayia Napa.

-They do.

-That's correct. The lads coming back from Afghan was going to

-Ayia Napa.

-So we will sack off the top one.

-Yeah.

-Yeah. And then hope we get someone like, I don't know,

Norris Cole or something for spacewalk, shall we?

OK. We want to reject Cheese as an incorrect answer, am I right?

-Yes, please.

-All in agreement on that.

We need Cheese to turn red.

Good stuff. Well done. Lesley?

Yes, you were 100%, Tony, on your answer for this one.

It's chocolate. Lindt famous for their golden bunnies.

Let's dismiss that as an incorrect answer.

It means we can have a look at the question behind First spacewalk.

LAUGHTER

-That was the...

-The Great Train Robbery.

-Yeah.

-And tell me which is the correct answer.

-We are locking in Cyprus.

-Locking in Cyprus.

-Yes.

-Three numbers down, we want another chance to put in

number four, see if it sticks in the code.

We want you guys to take away £9,000, our biggest jackpot so far.

Let Cyprus be our correct answer.

-Good days, fellas.

-Come on.

Yes, well done. You had no doubts that Cyprus is the location of

Ayia Napa. It's on the south-eastern coast.

Yes, and those men, Jimmy White, Bruce Reynolds,

Charlie Wilson and Ronnie Biggs

famous exactly as you said for the

Great Train Robbery, making away with £2.6 million at the time,

obviously worth a lot more now.

The first spacewalk was in 1965.

Thanks, Lesley.

There are now seven numbers left, two spots to put them in.

Choosing the right numbers at this stage could be a short cut to a lot of money.

OK, but it is in the lap of the gods, they are random numbers.

What are you going to choose?

-How old is Oliver?

-Well, as you say, they are random numbers.

-How old is your boy?

-One's seven...

-Let's go for it, then.

-Do you want to go for seven?

-Yeah.

-OK.

-Yeah.

-All in agreement?

-Yeah, we'll go for seven.

The number seven. Is it there in your code?

Is it going to give you your second number?

Let's have a look in the first box.

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

-It's not there.

-It's good.

-It is good.

-It's better than doing it in one.

-It's still good.

-Let's get rid of them all now.

-Yeah.

Let's get rid of them while you can at this stage.

We are going to plough straight on.

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

Let's go... It's worked every time.

Let's go bottom to top. Shall we?

See what it says about Bronze.

-Yeah.

-So we're going to go bottom to top,

let's have a look at the question behind Bronze.

Well, obviously the first thought you are going to think is silver but

-then, let's stick with it, let's...

-Open up Gold?

-Go on, then.

-Yeah, we will have Gold.

-We are going to open Gold to have a look.

-Spandau Ballet.

LAUGHTER

Was Gold number one or was it True?

Was Gold number one and was it in 1983?

Well, New Romantics, they were '80s, weren't they?

Yeah, definitely an '80s band.

If I had to get rid of one of them, obviously,

I would be saying let's get rid of the bottom because silver medal.

-Yeah, silver. I think so, as well.

-Let's sack off the bottom, then.

-Yeah, let's get rid of Bronze.

-Yeah.

-Get rid of Bronze.

-So we are going to say that Bronze is an incorrect

-answer.

-Yes, please, Matt.

If it's incorrect it goes red.

We lose it and we can carry on playing.

If it is correct, it goes green

and we are on the train back to Cornwall.

We don't want to do that,

we want to keep these boys here with us and keep playing.

Is it the incorrect answer?

Oh, well.

Must've been True. Must've been True.

I'm so sorry, boys.

-It happens.

-I am so sorry.

It does happen, it has been happening a lot.

-Yeah.

-You know, a lot of people have come before you.

It is a tricky stage of the game.

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

Let's see if you had chosen that, would it have made any difference?

-Lone Ranger was Silver, wasn't he?

-Yeah.

-Lone Ranger was Silver.

You would have known that that is incorrect.

-Yeah.

-But we still would have been left with Gold and Bronze, wouldn't we?

You would have been left with Gold and Bronze.

That would have... You could have rejected that... We can say whatever we want.

It's all in the past now, I am afraid.

-Lesley.

-I am really sorry that you came unstuck on that question.

Yes, at the first modern Olympics in 1896,

the winners received silver medals.

It wasn't until 1904 that it went gold, silver and bronze.

Yes, in April 1983,

Spandau Ballet had their only UK number one single with True rather than Gold.

Tony, I think you were debating whether it was True or Gold.

Gold was number two in the same year.

And in the Roy Rogers Show, the name of Roy's horse, not Silver, which,

Tony, you correctly identified as the Lone Ranger's horse, but Trigger.

-Yeah.

-There we have the correct answers but, gentlemen,

you managed to avoid the right answer there and it's gutting,

it really is, because I thought you were going so well.

Working so well, as you would imagine brothers would.

Gentlemen, Tony, Rob, Billy, it pains me to say it but, unfortunately,

on this occasion, you have failed to break the code.

And we have to ask you to leave the game.

-Tony.

-It has been a pleasure.

-And Rob.

-Thanks, Matt.

Billy. Lovely to meet you all and have a safe journey back.

-Cheers.

-Thank you very much.

-Bye-bye.

-Thank you, Lesley.

-I'm really sorry.

-Thanks.

-Thanks, Lesley. Cheers.

-Bad luck.

-Thank you.

-It was nice to meet you.

-Goodbye.

Yes, there go our three naval big guns.

Unfortunately, they failed to blast their way into the safe

and that's it for this series of The Code.

The jackpot now stands at £9,500.

What about that, Lesley?

I have enjoyed it so much. We have had seven winners.

As you say, it is an easy game to play but a hard game to win.

Thank you so much for your help throughout the series.

You are very welcome and thank you, Matt.

And thank you to you for watching. Goodbye.
