Episode 3 The Code

Hello, and welcome to The Code.

The money inside the safe has now gone up to £5,500.

To open the safe and take home the jackpot,

contestants just need to crack a three-digit code.

So, let's meet our next team hoping to do just that.

Claire, Marianne, how are you?

-Come on down. Welcome, welcome.

-Fine, thank you.

-Lovely to see you.

-Nice to see you too.

So, explain to me, how do you know each other?

Claire is my niece, so I've known her all her life.

-Right.

-Yes.

And what sort of things do you do? What do you for a job?

I work at the University of Liverpool on the IT service desk.

So I help people solve their computer problems.

How about you, Marianne? What have you done with yourself?

I'm now retired, quite recently - just in the last few months -

but my whole career has been spent in school.

-Oh, really?

-As a teacher.

Starting off just as a teacher of chemistry.

School and university - between you,

-you should know pretty much everything.

-You would think so,

-but sport is definitely something we are worried about.

-Yes.

-Sport is something we're looking to avoid.

-Yes, please.

-If possible.

We wish you the very best of luck.

Are you ready to play?

-Yes, of course we are.

-I think we are, yes.

-Good stuff.

Right, to open the safe, and win £5,500 -

that's what we're talking about -

you need to enter a three-digit code.

All you have to do is pick the correct answer

from a selection of three.

Once you do that, you can then select a number

between zero and nine.

If the number is in the code,

the computer will reveal that number to you

and you can move on - that's it.

-Do that three times...

-Yeah.

..and you can take the money away from inside. Simple, isn't it?

-That'll happen.

-Absolutely.

-Of course.

-Yeah.

Apart from the fact that if you pick an incorrect answer

at any stage during the game,

-you're on your way home.

-Yes.

-Yes.

Right, Claire, Marianne, the first thing we have to do

is set the code.

-Memorise those numbers?

-Oh, yeah, sure.

They mean nothing. THEY LAUGH

OK. Before we start, let me introduce you to someone

who would probably give you a run for your money

in terms of knowledge,

and that is the wonderful Lesley Brewis

providing us with our answers today.

-Hello, Claire and Marianne.

-Hello.

-Hi.

-Great stuff.

If you're ready, let's have a look at your first three answers.

Remember, only one of them is correct,

and that is the one that

you're trying to identify.

At this point, you can open

all three questions, so it doesn't

matter in which order you do them.

You get to see the whole picture -

that's the main thing.

Which one would you fancy

going for first?

-We'll go for Wellington first.

-Yes.

-OK.

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

Which military commander's statue

stands at the top of a column in Trafalgar Square in London?

-That's Nelson.

-That's not Wellington.

-No.

-That's not.

-OK.

-It's Horatio Nelson.

So pretty confident about that.

Pretty confident about that one.

Which one do you want to go for next?

-Grapefruit?

-Grapefruit.

-Yes.

-Go on, then.

-Grapefruit.

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

Well...that's melon, isn't it?

I think so. I'm pretty confident on that one.

-Good.

-Yeah.

-Let's have a look at

the question behind Mormons.

Well, I don't know that

that's that answer, but I know that

-it's Nelson and melon.

-So do I.

So I'm happy to go with you

-and say...

-Mormon.

..that the Mormons is

the correct answer to that question.

-We're going to lock in Mormons.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

OK. Let's hope it's right.

If it's right, you get to choose

one figure to enter into the code.

If it's wrong, I'm afraid it's

a very quick visit to the studio.

I...I... Yes.

OK. Let's find out.

-OK.

-Is Mormons our correct answer?

We want it to go green.

-It is.

-Yes!

Congratulations. Great start.

Lesley, the Mormons?

Yes, the Mormons, the Book Of Mormon,

very, very famous, very successful musical.

OK. Great stuff. And then let's look at Wellington.

We were saying Nelson, was it?

Yeah, Nelson's Column.

Nelson's Column sounds right to me.

The famous column in Trafalgar Square,

yes, Nelson's Column.

The bronze panels on the sides are made from captured French guns.

Are they now?

And honeydew and cantaloupe -

you were saying melons.

-Yes.

-Yes, definitely.

-Lesley.

Claire and Marianne, very quick

to dismiss this.

They are indeed melons.

So, in this case, I think you were

very confident of the incorrect answers.

Not so confident of the right one, but that helped you settle on that

-as the right choice.

-At this stage of the game,

that's what counts.

Now, it means that you get the chance

to put in one digit into the code.

They're all still there. WOMEN CHUCKLE

-Well, we've already decided.

-You've decided?

-Yeah.

We decided before we came on what order we'd choose our digits in.

So what's it going to be first, and why?

Five, because that is the first number of Marianne's birth year.

-Yes.

-Fantastic.

I was born a child of the '50s.

I won't ask any more than that. THEY LAUGH

Five - is it there in our code, in the first box.

Let's have a look.

-It's not there.

-Oh, no.

-Oh, no.

-How about the second box?

-No.

-Not there.

-OK.

-And finally, the final box.

-It is there!

-Oh, my goodness me. Wow.

-Fantastic work.

-Oh, right.

At the first time of asking, we have a figure in the code,

something, something five, which is fantastic.

Very early progress is what we like to see.

You found the first number.

That means you move on to the next level.

Unfortunately, it does mean that things become

-a little bit more difficult.

-Oh.

Because now, yes, you see all three answers,

but you can only see two questions at a time

-before you have to commit to one and make a decision.

-Yeah.

-So, that's the way it's going to work from now on.

-OK.

Let's have a look at your answers.

-Right. OK.

-Need not be linked,

in fact, they're not linked in any way.

OK, well...

And it is important now which one you choose first.

So, well, Wednesday is

a day of the week, obviously,

is it named after a Norse...

-Yes, course, after a Norse god - Woden.

-Yeah.

March is going to be a lucky answer,

because that's the month I was born.

The fourth...

Well, I mean, the fourth of July,

American Independence Day.

There's the Forth Bridge, but spelt wrong.

Yes, it's not the spelling of that. What are we going for?

Shall we go with March?

Let's start with March, yeah.

We'll start with March

in the middle. Let's see the question behind March.

Do you know this?

I'm fairly sure it's a waltz.

Right, OK. I can't agree or disagree

with you, because I don't know.

Well, don't forget at this stage

you get the chance to open one more

before you have to make a decision.

Shall we open Wednesday?

-I think we open Wednesday.

-OK.

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

That's correct, I think. Oh, gosh.

I think we eliminate

-the middle one - March.

-OK, yeah.

We want to get rid

-of March as an incorrect answer.

-Yes.

-Yes.

If that's the case, if it is incorrect, we get to look

at what's behind the fourth.

If it's a correct answer, it means, I'm afraid,

we have to say goodbye to you.

-We want this to go red.

-Oh.

It is incorrect.

Lesley.

It is a waltz and Strauss was known as The Waltz King,

-having composed hundreds of them.

-Well, I knew...

Yeah, I kind of thought

he was quite famous for that.

Right, so that means we can get rid,

we can bin an incorrect answer,

narrows it down

to two possible answers here.

And we can have a look at the question

-behind the fourth.

-OK.

No, because Blackadder Goes Forth and it was spelt F-O-R-T-H,

so therefore, Wednesday is the correct answer.

-You're taking Wednesday as your correct answer?

-Yes.

-Yes, we are.

Let's lock it in.

OK. If it's correct,

we get to choose another digit,

if it's incorrect, we say bye-bye.

-Let's find out.

-Nervous.

We want it to go green.

Oh, now...

What are we going to do?

Prime Minister's Questions are on Wednesday, Lesley.

Yes, it's Wednesday.

It used to be Tuesday and Thursday, 15 minutes on Tuesday,

15 minutes on Thursday.

One of the first things Tony Blair did

when he became Prime Minister was to condense them

into one easy to manage Prime Minister's Questions -

half an hour on a Wednesday.

And Blackadder Goes Forth, Marianne was saying.

Absolutely right, Marianne, not only did you know that it was not fourth,

with a U, but you seem to know

everything else about Blackadder too.

It was the fourth series, there have been specials since,

but what that was the fourth full series of the show.

-And the best one.

-And the best one.

-Yeah.

You get to pick another number to go into the code.

So, you've got it all planned out?

-We sticking with it?

-Let's stick with the plan.

-You go on, then.

The next digit we want is six, please.

We're going for six, across from five to six.

Let's have a look. Is six in the first box?

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

-To get two in a row is quite good.

-Oh, well. Yeah.

So, are you ready?

-Yes.

-We haven't had a sport question yet.

-That's true, shush.

Let's see what comes up. The next three answers, please.

Monopoly, one of my favourite

-board games as a child.

-Yes.

Shall we do Monopoly first?

Yes. OK. Let's do Monopoly first.

That I definitely know is Ludo. I did Latin at school.

Excellent.

I don't do it any more.

-I'm just here to be your companion.

-That's quite all right.

So, you're saying not Monopoly...

-Not Monopoly.

-..you're saying Ludo.

-I am saying Ludo.

-OK, let's choose one more

answer to see behind.

Do you want to go with Brazil

and get rid of it?

Or not, as the case may be?

-Yes, let's go with Brazil.

-Yeah.

-OK.

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

Does the equator...

The equator would.

-What, across Brazil?

-Yes.

Well, I don't know about

the Tropic of Capricorn though.

I would get rid of Monopoly,

without a shadow of a doubt.

-Because we're not certain on Brazil.

-OK.

In that case,

we're going to discard Monopoly

as an incorrect answer.

If it is the correct answer, that's the end of your time here.

Let's hope it's incorrect.

It is the wrong answer.

-Well done.

-It is incorrect.

Well done.

Lesley, Ludo, Marianne says.

Yes, Marianne, your grounding in Latin served you well.

It does mean I play in Latin - ludo.

And monopoly comes from Latin, via Greek.

We can bin an incorrect answer then,

it leaves you with two to choose from.

One of those must

-be correct.

-OK.

-And we can have a look

at the question behind Westminster now.

-Oh, well, we're safe. Canterbury.

-Canterbury.

So, it's not Westminster,

so therefore the correct answer is Brazil.

Let's lock it in - Brazil as a correct answer.

Is Brazil

crossed by both the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn?

Let's find out.

-It is correct.

-Yes.

-Yes.

Well done. Lesley, it's a big country.

It is, as Marianne says, a big country

and crossed by both the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn.

A couple of other countries in South America crossed

by the equator - Colombia and Ecuador,

which takes its name from the equator.

And Rowan Williams replaced George Carey

as Archbishop of, indeed, Canterbury.

Going to church has paid off.

So, Lesley, is there an Archbishop of Westminster?

There is an Archbishop of Westminster,

he's the senior Catholic in England and Wales -

Vincent Nichols.

There we go, we are learned.

And more importantly, on this occasion,

it means you get to choose using your special system...

-Yes.

-Yes.

-..of numerical choice.

The next digit to try and put into the code,

what are you going to go for next?

We're going in numerical order, so seven, please.

We're just going five, six, seven?

No, it's because Claire's a child of the '70s.

-Yes. Just, just, I might add.

-OK, it makes sense to me.

Let's find out if it's there. Is seven in the first box?

-No.

-Oh, no.

-It's not.

-It's OK, this is OK.

The middle box, is it in the middle box?

-No.

-No.

That's fine.

Blank five, but as you say, we've eliminated seven,

you're whittling down the numbers,

you're playing at an easier level of the game, this is good.

-Yes.

-Right.

-This is positive.

-It's what we want to do.

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

-Oh, my goodness me.

Galway's in Ireland.

Yes, it is. Galway Bay. Sophie...

Sophie is the name

of the little girl from the BFG.

Oh, right, OK.

Just randomly that came to me.

-Midnight. Well, obviously middle of the night.

-Yes.

Shall we do Sophie?

She was actually named after Sophie Dahl?

Oh, was she? Oh, OK.

Shall we go with Sophie?

-Cos I want that to be the question.

-Oh, well, go on, then.

OK, let's have a look

at the question behind Sophie.

-THEY LAUGH

-Oh, goodness me, well done.

What is the name of the little girl

who befriends the BFG?

-How did I guess that?

-I don't know.

You're absolutely confident that Sophie is the correct answer?

Yes, cos she was named after Roald Dahl's granddaughter - Sophie Dahl.

OK, we'll check the other two

just to make sure you're confident.

Let's look at Galway first.

-I don't know that one.

-I don't know anyone called that name, no.

OK, we have to reject one of those so presumably...

So, reject Galway, yeah.

..we'll be rejecting Galway.

Let's hope that that's an incorrect answer.

We want this to go red.

-It is.

-Yay.

-Fantastic.

Lesley, Galway, so, who is it?

I'm struggling to think.

I can't think of a radio presenter called Galway.

The correct answer is Mayo, as in Simon Mayo.

-Oh, of course, yeah.

-County Mayo.

-Yeah.

Well, congratulations,

we can get rid of that one.

-And let's open midnight.

-Yeah.

-I think that's midday.

-I do.

-Yeah.

We're...you're so sure about the middle one.

-I'm happy to go with that.

-Yeah, so Sophie, lock in.

-We're going to lock in Sophie.

-Yes.

Is Sophie the name

of the little girl who befriends the BFG?

You're right.

Well done.

I would've been very surprised,

Lesley, the BFG.

It is Sophie, the little girl who befriends the BFG.

In earlier drafts, it was a boy called Jodie,

but Roald Dahl changed it...

-I didn't know that.

-..as Sophie was his granddaughter.

And in French it's midi,

the ladies were saying that's midday rather than midnight.

It is midday and midnight

-is minuit.

-Minuit.

-Minuit.

-Yeah.

-Fantastic stuff.

I have learnt French, but a long time ago.

Very good, it means you get to pick another number.

-Is it going to be eight?

-No, it isn't, actually.

-It's going to be number nine.

-It is.

Number nine, we're skipping eight for some reason.

Let's see if nine is there in the code in one of those two

remaining boxes. Is it there in the first box?

-No.

-Oh, no.

Is it there in the second box?

-No.

-Oh!

-That's eliminated it, OK.

-But this is good.

-Yes.

As long as you keep answering the questions correctly,

you're doing it at the easier level.

Let's see your next three answers.

Remember, you can see two before you have to commit to one.

St Petersburg is in Russia

where the Hermitage museum is.

-And I've been there.

-And I've been there.

It did have other names, but I can't quite remember.

One of them is Leningrad

and one was Stalingrad, wasn't it?

I don't know the name Roger Taylor, do you?

Is that the guy from Queen

or am I just...no?

I honestly don't know.

-Climbed a mountain could be anything.

-We need to pick one.

OK, we'll go for St Petersburg,

-since we've both been there.

-OK.

To me, I think that might be true,

although it could be Moscow,

cos I went to both places.

I don't know the name Roger Taylor,

so I'm inclined to go for climbed a mountain

and see what that comes up with.

Let's have a look at the question

-behind climbed a mountain.

-Could be anything.

-I don't know.

-Oh.

-He's a...mountain climber.

-He's an explorer.

I'm not sure he's actually a climber, I think

it's more likely to be something like marathons

or something of that sort.

OK, well, then get rid of climbed a mountain.

Oh, that's scary.

Because Ranulph Fiennes is famous

for a mountain climb,

I'm sure he is.

But I don't think he did seven times in seven days

on seven continents,

because if it was seven continents, you'd have to fly.

-Well, that's true.

-So, I think...

I think we'll eliminate the middle one, yeah. Climbed a mountain.

OK. So, we want to eliminate

climbed a mountain as an incorrect answer.

Let's lock it in.

We want this to go red.

Come on, red.

-Yes!

-Oh!

-It's incorrect.

-Wow.

-Which means we get to live to fight another day.

Lesley.

Yes, and Marianne, you said

-the correct answer, which is that he ran marathons...

-Yeah, I don't...

-..despite having only just had a double heart bypass.

-Yes.

Wow, that's phenomenal.

It's great news for you,

Claire and Marianne,

because we can bin that incorrect answer and that leaves us with two,

one of which must be true.

Let's have a look at the question.

When the name Roger Taylor came up that makes me think of Queen,

I don't know why, there might be a Roger in Queen.

All right, we've got to make a decision,

so let's say we think the correct answer is St Petersburg.

-We're going to lock it in.

-OK.

If it is the right answer,

you get another stab

at choosing a number.

-Please be green.

-If it's the wrong answer,

then, lovely Claire, lovely Marianne,

we will have to say goodbye to you.

-Let's find out now.

-Be green.

Oh!

-Oh, no!

-Never mind.

-Oh, well.

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

Lesley, Stalingrad and St Petersburg.

Is it Moscow?

It's not. St Petersburg has previously been known

as Petrograd and Leningrad.

Oh, there we are.

The correct answer is Volgograd.

And Roger Taylor,

Roger Taylor is in Queen, not the same Roger Taylor.

It's a different Roger Taylor, two drummers, Roger Taylor,

the one in Duran Duran, the one in Queen - separate people.

There were other Taylors in the most famous line-up

of Duran Duran as well, completely unrelated -

Andy Taylor and John Taylor.

So, I was right, there was one in Queen.

-You are right, but in the wrong way.

-Yes.

-Oh, well.

Sadly, that's the case.

It's been a great experience.

Absolutely. Yeah.

Listen, we're proud to have had you on the show.

It's lovely to have met you both, but unfortunately on this occasion,

you failed to break the code and so we have to wish you farewell

and goodbye. Thanks for coming.

-Thank you very much and it was nice to meet you.

-You too.

-OK, then.

-MARIANNE LAUGHS

They were doing so well and then they just hit a roadblock,

but that's the way it works on The Code.

It's an easy game to play, it's a hard game to win.

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

-Roger, how are you?

-I'm fine, thanks, mate.

-Good to see you.

Where do you come from?

I live in a little village just outside King's Lynn in Norfolk.

-Oh, right, long way to come.

-Long way to come, but well worth it.

We're very excited, because you're our first solo player,

which speaks of huge confidence in your general knowledge skills.

I'm just probably a bit of a Billy No-Mates, really.

-Right, are you a quizzer?

-Yeah, I love it.

I love quizzes, anything to do with quizzing, general knowledge

crosswords on a Sunday, anything like that, I just love it.

OK, strengths and weaknesses,

which subjects do you like and which ones do want to avoid?

I would say sport,

mainly football, geography, film and TV - strongest.

Definitely to avoid - monarchy, myths

and that sort of classic sort of music.

Well, we wish you the very best.

The previous team failed

and that means that we add another £500 to the jackpot in the safe.

And that makes a total of...

That is good. I'm looking forward to it.

OK, if you're ready, we'll reset the code.

There we are. It's hidden, of course.

And we get to have a look at your first three answers, Roger.

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

-All right.

Let's just go top to bottom. Try Rory McIlroy to start.

Let's see the question

behind Rory McIlroy.

I'm fairly confident that wouldn't be him,

because that's ten years ago and as he's in his mid-20s,

I think that would put him

a little bit too young.

OK. Where shall we go next?

-Try woodwind.

-Woodwind.

The question behind woodwind, please.

Woodwind being the answer.

Does that feel right to you?

Yes, I believe it does.

I'm just trying to picture it in my mind

and I think I think that's

the right answer. I think.

But let's try Pennsylvania.

Let's look at the question

behind Pennsylvania,

then we've got the full picture.

I'm pretty sure that that was Alaska

just slightly earlier than Hawaii.

I think they were both in 1959.

So, I would go with the bassoon

belongs to the woodwind family.

OK.

Let's lock it in.

Let's see, is the bassoon

a member of the woodwind family of musical instruments?

Yes, it is.

It's the correct answer,

well done, Roger.

Lesley, the bassoon is a woodwind instrument.

Yes, a reeded, woodwind instrument.

The sportsman who

was on the £5 notes

issued by Ulster Bank in 2006,

not Rory McIlroy, but George Best.

It was to commemorate the first anniversary of his death

and it showed him in both his Northern Ireland

and Man United strips.

The 49th state to join the United States.

Well, Pennsylvania was one of the founding states,

the answer we were looking for,

as Roger correctly identified,

was Alaska.

Fantastic start, Roger.

You're off the mark.

Now, let's see if your luck matches your judgment,

because we have to choose a number to put into the code

and see if it's there.

-What are you going to go for?

-I'll go for number three.

Number three. Is the number three in our code?

Let's have a look at the first box.

It's not there. The second box.

Not there.

And finally, is the number three in our final box?

It's not there.

This is not entirely negative, though, Roger,

because as we work our way through the numbers, there are fewer

numbers to work from.

You're whittling it down and you're doing it at the stage

-where you still can see all of the questions and answers.

-Right.

Are you ready for the next group of answers?

-Yeah, let's go for it.

-Let's have a look at them.

-Ah.

-Make sense of that. Yeah.

Well, I'm intrigued by the third one there, that sneezing panda.

Well, you can open all three at this stage, so any order you like.

Let's go for that. Let's see what's behind there.

Sneezing panda.

Ah, that sort of rings a bell

about something or other.

Let's try ten.

Let's have a look at number ten.

Or is it number ten?

Let's try king.

Let's have a look at the question

behind king, because we can.

Which way you leaning, Roger?

Well, Rex, you quite often hear

about that in relation

to the monarchies

and stuff like that.

I think it was five loaves,

if I remember rightly.

I might be wrong.

I would go for Rex meaning king.

-Shall we lock it in?

-Yes, please,

lock it in.

Let's lock in king as the correct answer.

Let's find out.

You want this one to turn green.

It is the correct answer, Roger,

that's right.

And you didn't want questions

-about monarchy either.

-I didn't.

Lesley, Rex means king.

-Yes, it does, in Latin.

-And the rest?

Well, Tyrannosaurus can be translated as tyrant lizard,

so it means something like tyrant lizard king.

Your schoolboy religious studies, Roger, have served you well,

because it is five loaves and two fishes

in all four gospels - the same number.

And the video's huge popularity.

The sneezing panda has been watched

by an awful lot of people,

but the one that the question refers to is Gangnam Style by Psy.

-Of course.

-So many people watched it

that it broke YouTube's counter.

I'll give that one a miss though.

Yeah, yeah.

OK, that buys you the chance to put another number into the code.

What's it going to be next?

Let's try number five.

Is five in the code?

Let's have a look at that first box.

It's not there. The second box.

It's not there.

The final box.

-It's not there again.

-Ah.

Let's see your next three answers.

-Another monarchy one.

-Yeah, funny that.

I can't get enough of them.

It's almost like

you asked for them, but you didn't.

Let's try Henry VIII.

I know Michael Palin,

he was, obviously,

in the Monty Python Life Of Brian

and stuff like that,

so I don't know if he would've

gone into Henry VIII.

Let's try hippopotamus.

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

Get a bit of context.

George might have been the human.

Um...I'm not sure.

-Let's try banana.

-Let's have a look

at the question behind banana.

Well, I used to have a greengrocer's

many years ago...

This is the question for you.

Gala and Bramley are definitely

apples and Jazz, I would imagine,

is an apple,

so definitely not a banana.

I'd go for Henry VIII,

because I think George

was a human.

I think. So, if I lock in

Henry VIII, I can't... It's a 50-50.

-So...

-OK.

We'll lock in

Henry VIII as the correct answer.

If it is right, you'll get

the chance to put in another digit into the code.

If it's wrong, Roger,

that is you and me done.

-Understood.

-Shall we find out?

-Yeah.

-Did David Bowie, Rod Steiger

and Michael Palin play

Henry VIII on screen?

-I'm sorry, Roger.

-Oh,

-No.

-It's wrong, I'm sorry.

So, it'll be the middle one then.

Oh.

Let's find out,

Lesley.

Roger, if you'd committed to your line of thinking

about Michael Palin,

you may have headed in the right direction,

Michael Palin played Pontius Pilate in the Life Of Brian.

David Bowie, Rod Steiger were each Pontius Pilate as well,

-David Bowie in The Last Temptation Of Christ.

-Oh, yeah.

And Rod Steiger in Jesus Of Nazareth.

George was a hippopotamus in Rainbow.

And the human being that you...

-Geoffrey.

-It was Geoffrey,

you've got it now.

Oh, I'm sorry.

And finally,

Roger's green grocery heritage

and background, was he right there?

He was absolutely right.

No bananas named Gala, Jazz

or Bramley, they are apples.

The original Bramley tree planted in 1809's still standing.

I'm sorry, Roger,

we have no bananas, we also have no good news for you, I'm afraid.

Well, that's the way it goes, you take a chance

and it was a 50-50 and it's always easier to be wise after the event.

It's been lovely having you, Roger,

but, unfortunately on this occasion, you failed to break the code,

-so we have to say goodbye to you.

-All right, thanks very much indeed.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-Cheers.

-Cheerio.

So, Roger was brave, he flew solo,

but unfortunately he's flying straight back home.

Let's see if the next contestants can do any better.

Welcome, good to see you.

-Michael, Tom, good to have you on the show.

-Thank you.

-How's it going?

-Yeah, good, thank you. Good.

-Good.

Except, we seem to have a lot of money on our hands

and no-one's prepared to take it away from me.

-Are you going to be ones to change that?

-We'll try our best.

-I'll try my best for you, mate.

-Tell me how you know each other.

Well, me and him are flatmates, we go to university together

and we were together in halls in the first year.

And for some unknown reason, I decided I wanted

to live with him again, so, we're still housemates.

And tell me about your interests.

Do you have like...? What you really need

is overlapping spheres of knowledge and interest for a quiz like that.

Is that the way it works?

Where I fall down, maybe you pick up a bit.

I like my sports, I like playing rugby, I like my darts.

Yes, I do like politics, I like current affairs, geography,

history, things like that, and in my spare time I do

-a bit of volunteering for charitable organisations as well.

-Fantastic.

Hopefully, between us we'll be able to...

-We'll have a bit of knowledge.

-Yeah.

The good news is that the previous contestant

failed to take anything away at all from the safe

and that means we've put another £500 in there,

making a total of...

-Very useful indeed.

-Absolutely.

What we have to do first is make sure

we reset the numbers in the code.

There we are, it's hidden, of course.

Are you ready to play, Michael, Tom?

-Yes.

-Yes, we are.

-Let's go.

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

There we go.

Remember, at this stage, you can open all the questions,

you can see the whole lot,

so the order which you open them in

actually doesn't make

that much difference.

-Shall we start at the top and work down?

-Yeah.

A spaceman, let's have a look at that question.

In Toy Story, what kind of a toy is Woody?

That is definitely wrong,

because Buzz Lightyear

was a spaceman, wasn't he?

You got that, yeah.

Woody is a cowboy, if I'm not mistaken.

-Yes, absolutely.

-OK. Good stuff.

Let's move straight on

to the next one.

Next - wildcat, might as well work our way down.

Let's have a look at the question

behind wildcat.

Wildcat does have a ring to it.

I think...but, I think we'll

wait to see what the next answer is.

-OK, OK.

-Let's have a look

at the question behind March.

So, they went back in October, didn't they?

So is it six months later. That could be...

That would be April, wouldn't it?

Six months from October would be

November, December...

..January, February, March, April.

April, so it would be April.

One of those you feel like you should know.

No, it can't be, if you look at the question.

"And change from British Summer Time to Greenwich Mean Time."

It won't...if it's in April.

Cos Greenwich Mean Time is a time zone, isn't it?

It would be turning INTO British Summer Time.

-Surely. So, that one must be wrong.

-Well spotted.

Only one of them can be correct,

-that's the one you're looking for.

-Shall we go with wildcat?

Cos what you said there

does make a lot of sense.

I think we'll have to go for that.

Are you going to say wildcat?

Yes, please.

OK, let's lock in wildcat

as a correct answer.

If it's right, you get to choose

one digit for the code.

If it's wrong,

you'll be heading straight back to university

with your tail between your legs.

Let's find out.

Is wildcat the correct answer?

Yes.

-It is the correct answer.

-That's one down.

Lesley, talk us through those.

Yes, wildcat, the correct answer.

That type of strike doesn't happen very often.

Toy Story, what kind of toy is Woody?

Well, Michael knew straightaway that

Buzz Lightyear was the spaceman,

he's a space ranger,

voiced by Tim Allen, catchphrase is "To infinity and beyond."

The correct answer is a cowboy,

Woody the cowboy voiced by Tom Hanks.

In which month of the year do the clocks go back

one hour?

You puzzled this out between you, I heard you say October

is the month in which the clocks go back.

That's the correct answer here,

making October the longest month of the year,

because it's 31 days and one hour long.

There you go.

Well, gentlemen, what that means now is that you get to choose

your first digit to go into the code.

They're all there at the moment, all the way from zero,

through to nine.

Which one's it going to be, is there any logic,

have you got a method?

I think we're just going to...

I think we're just going to go with the logical one.

We're going to go from one and work our way up, hopefully.

OK, it's very, very sensible, but then you're a sensible pair of guys.

So, let's find out, is the number one in the code?

Is it in the first box?

It's not there. The second box.

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

It's not there, it's not there.

But don't be downhearted, because what you've done

is eliminate one from your enquiries

and you're also playing at the level of the game

where you get to see all of the questions.

OK, are you ready to see your next group of answers?

-I think so.

-We are, indeed.

OK, have a look.

Again, you get see all the questions,

so the order you take them in

really doesn't make

that much difference.

-Shall we go from the top again?

-Yes.

We'll go with Africa, please.

OK, let's see the question behind Africa.

It's Asia, isn't it?

I don't know, I don't know

if Istanbul would span two continents...

They say it's kind of a bridge between Europe and Asia, don't they?

I thought that was Turkey as a whole.

OK, well, you get the chance to look

at the other two as well, maybe that will help you.

-Which one next?

-Geography's my weak point.

Tweenies, please.

Let's have a look at

the question behind Tweenies.

Well, I think I know this one for sure,

because we used to have a dog

called Milo

and as a kid I obviously wanted to call my dog,

I can't remember the name of the dog

in the series, but I know

that Milo wasn't the dog and I was quite disappointed

when we did call him that.

Let's have a look at the question

behind butterfly.

-Butterfly is quite...

-It's strenuous.

It's a difficult stroke to master, isn't it? So...

I can hardly swim on my front,

let alone a butterfly.

I think that's possible, but then...

Can you think of any other strokes that...

Breaststroke, but then maybe

it's not so strenuous on your body.

You've got to lift your whole shoulders out of the water,

-ain't you, when you do butterfly?

-That's true.

I mean, Bella, Fizz, Jake and Milo,

they do sound like the characters...

That's how I remember them, anyway.

In which children's TV...it must be.

Milo's just in my head.

Shall we lock in Tweenies?

-Yes, we'll lock in the Tweenies.

-We're going to lock in Tweenies.

Let's find out.

Are Bella, Fizz, Jake and Milo

the Tweenies?

We want it to go green.

-Yes.

-It's the correct

answer, well done. Lesley.

I guess, that Michael and Tom, you're

probably at the right age to have watched

the Tweenies first time around.

Doodles was the main dog in the Tweenies.

There was another dog called Izzles.

And then Africa.

You were saying Asia.

Europe and Asia, is that the right bridge, has he got that spot-on?

Exactly. Europe and Asia.

Istanbul, previously known as Constantinople.

And finally - swimming.

The fastest swimming records are

in front crawl, freestyle.

The slowest, not butterfly but breaststroke.

Michael, Tom,

you're doing really well,

you're making short work of this at the moment.

And nothing in the code at the moment,

but you're knocking out these numbers,

which one are you going to go for next?

-BOTH:

-We'll go for two, please.

Number two, working our way through. Let's see if it's in the code.

Let's have a look at the first box.

Not there. How about the second box?

It's not there. And that final box, is there a number two?

There isn't.

No number two. So, let's have a look at our next three answers.

I guess we'll start with the top then - Katie Melua.

Let's go with Katie Melua.

Katie Melua, I'm trying to think of any songs that she sang.

-Nine Million Bicycles In Beijing.

-Is that not Katie Tunstall?

Maybe it was, I don't know.

Maybe we'll have to skip that one.

-Indonesia, please.

-Let's have a look at the question

behind Indonesia.

It seems like the right part of the world, it's got quite a tropical,

maybe warm climate.

It's what lizards like -

as much warmth as possible.

It's plausible, it's definitely plausible.

Let's have a look at scarf. Let's see if it makes sense.

That's the hat, isn't it?

Yeah, they wear scarves with their houses, don't they?

Gryffindor's red and yellow.

But it's the Sorting Hat in

The Philosopher's Stone.

I've got The Philosopher's Stone...

It doesn't like Harry, does it? He gets in there...

-That's right.

-Right.

So...

That one must be wrong then.

My gut instinct is Indonesia.

We'll take a...

Take a punt then.

We'll go with Indonesia.

Let's lock in Indonesia,

if it is the correct answer,

we get to have another crack

at the code, but if it's wrong,

gentlemen, that is it.

It is

-the correct answer.

-Yes.

Lesley, tell us about lizards.

The Komodo dragon is a lizard with a really nasty bite,

they do occasionally bite and kill people.

The album under the name Katy Hudson

in 2001 - not Katie Melua, as you mentioned,

she had a hit with Nine Million Bicycles In Beijing.

And Katy Hudson, she changed her name to avoid confusion

with Kate Hudson, the actress - it's Katy Perry.

-Ohh.

-And in the Harry Potter novels,

the item of clothing which allocates houses of the new students -

not a scarf, it is the Sorting Hat, as I think Michael pointed out.

Now, I've had a look on a website

that sorts you and I'm in Ravenclaw.

-You're Ravenclaw?

-I'm in Ravenclaw, yeah.

I would've said Ravenclaw.

-What house would you be?

-Slytherin.

-In Slytherin?

-Probably, yeah, yeah.

It's the dark side.

But, gentlemen, that's great news.

Once again, you got the correct answer.

We are two numbers down.

Please pick another number to try in the code, see if it fits.

Chance it and go with the old logic?

It's been working so well for us already.

-Go with three.

-Number three, please.

Number three, I can see the way this is going.

Is number three in the code?

Let's have a look at the first box.

It's not in the first box.

Is it in the second box?

It's not there.

How about that last box?

It's not there.

BUZZ

And that sound means we have run out of time.

But, well done, Michael and Tom, you are well on your way to £6,500.

They've already got three numbers down,

so please join us next time when we will find out

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

-Thank you, Lesley.

-You're very welcome.

And thank you to you at home for watching. Goodbye.
