Episode 7 The Code

Hello and welcome to The Code.

Locked inside the safe is £5,000.

All our contestants have to do to open the safe

and win the money is crack this three-digit code.

But each time someone fails, more money is added to the safe

and the jackpot goes up and up.

Last time, Liz had only just joined us

and had picked two numbers, neither of which were in the code

before we ran out of time. So, let's welcome her back.

Hello, Liz. Hello again. How are you? Good to see you.

Hi, good to see you. Good to be back.

Well, did you have a good night? What happened?

I got up to all kinds of crazy things.

-You just had a night in, didn't you?

-I did, actually.

-Liz, you are a health researcher from Altrincham.

-Yes.

We know that. Two children.

-You also describe yourself as a crazy cat lady.

-Yes, definitely.

-How many cats do you have?

-Well, at the minute,

-unfortunately, I don't have any.

-MATT LAUGHS

-Well, toddlers and litter trays don't really go.

-OK.

So that's the reason for none now.

But over the years, I have had a fair few.

-And ideally, you'd have a house full of them?

-Oh, yeah, definitely.

What is it about cats that you love so much? Cos I'm a dog person.

Oh, well, kind of like the opposite with dogs -

they hang out with you because they want to hang out with you,

and they make you work for that affection, not like dogs.

-Do you not think that they look down on us as a species?

-Of course.

-Of course they do.

-And you're OK with that?

-Yeah.

They deserve it. They've earned it.

You're happy being subservient to a cat,

-I like that.

-Definitely. Only cats.

OK. Remind us what you would do

if you won the £5,000 that's there today.

I'd like to help my mum go and see her sister, her only surviving

sister, who lives in Madagascar working as a nun there.

And she's not seen her for a long time.

It would be really nice to help her to go over and see her.

You'd go over with her to Madagascar?

I'd like to, but I don't think I'd be able to go along as well.

Well, that's a great idea.

It's a lovely thing to do for your mum.

And we really hope you make it today.

Well, before we go any further, let's say hello to Lesley. Hiya.

Hello, Liz. I'm really hoping you get to open that safe later.

I know, me too.

Now, last time, you answered two questions correctly

and got to choose two numbers - three and six -

neither of which turned out to be in the code.

But that's fine.

It means we get to carry on playing the game at this level,

where we get to see all of the questions and all of the answers.

It's a good thing. We're making good progress.

And, Liz, you're answering very confidently,

-which we like. Are you ready to play?

-I am ready to play.

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

Remember,

only one of those is correct.

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

At this point, you can open

all three answers to reveal the questions. So, Liz,

which one is it going to be first?

I think I'm going to stick with

my tactic from yesterday and go

with the one I'm likely to know

least about, so let's go

-with Alfie first, please.

-Alfie, OK.

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

I wasn't sure

who was in the original film,

but I'm almost 100% it was

Jude Law in the remake and not

Sylvester Stallone, so I think

that one is probably not correct.

But let's roll onto the next one.

Strong feeling about that one.

Which one next?

I'm really intrigued by "the",

so let's go for that one.

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

OK, so that seems

plausible that it could be "the".

I'm guessing it's probably "the",

and "and" are probably the two

most common ones.

I'm not sure which one of the two

is most common, so...

Yeah, I'm not sure on that one.

Again, it's one of those actually...

It's probably about gut instinct

rather than knowing it, isn't it?

Shall we have a look at the last one?

Let's see the question behind armadillo.

OK, I'm fairly sure the national

animal of Spain has got to be

the bull.

Um...

I highly doubt it would be armadillo.

I don't think armadillos live in Spain.

So I think that one is probably incorrect.

So I think I'm going to go

with "the" as the correct answer there.

Do you want to lock that one in now?

I do want to lock that one in.

OK, let's lock in "the" as the correct answer.

If it is correct,

you get to choose another digit

to try in the code

to see if it will stick.

It is.

-Good bit of deduction, Liz.

-Whoo!

Excellent stuff.

So, Lesley, the or THE,

-depending on how you say it.

-Exactly.

And nicely done, Liz.

"The" is the correct answer.

You said "and" would be up there

in the top few most common words.

It's actually the fifth.

The second is "be"

and then "to" and "of".

Liz, you immediately

identified the answers

up on the board for the other two

questions as incorrect.

You knew that Alfie

was with Jude Law in 2004.

The correct answer to that

is Get Carter.

The national animal of Spain,

exactly as you said,

-the bull rather than the armadillo.

-Get Carter,

a truly dreadful film. Don't bother watching that one.

-I was going to say, I've not seen it.

-No point at all.

Liz, your deduction and your knowledge there means that

you get another chance to try a figure in the code

to see if it will stick.

I'd say you're going to go for nine if we're going to follow...

-Is that right?

-That is correct.

-Right, you have got a system.

-Yes.

We want to see a nine in the code there. Is it in the first box?

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

It's not there. Is there a nine in that final box?

It's there. Well done. We've got our first number in the code.

And that means that you now move on to the next level,

where things get a little bit more difficult.

This time, you only get to see the questions behind two of them

before you have to commit.

So you won't quite have the full picture.

-Are you ready? Shall we have a look at those answers?

-Let's have a look.

Now it does start to be

quite important the order

in which you choose them.

I'm really terrible

at eating vegetables,

-MATT CHUCKLES

-so let's start with spinach.

You want to start with spinach,

-get it out of the way.

-Yeah, exactly.

I'm fairly certain it's not spinach.

And I suspect it's egg, a fried egg

that goes on top, but I'm not 100% on that.

Where do you want to go next?

Let's go with John F Kennedy.

OK, let's see the question behind John F Kennedy.

I'm not 100%,

but my gut is that

it was John F Kennedy.

So you need to choose one of those two to discard.

I'll discard spinach, please.

OK, happy to discard spinach.

So, we want to see this go red.

Is spinach an incorrect answer?

It is.

Well done, Liz. Liz was saying egg, Lesley,

makes it croque-madame.

And Liz is absolutely right -

a fried egg usually on top

makes it a croque-madame.

If you put spinach in something,

it usually makes it Florentine.

Florentine, right.

Well, Liz,

that means we can get rid, we can bin an incorrect answer.

It leaves us with just two possibilities.

We're looking for that one correct answer.

Let's have a look at the question behind Q&A.

OK, I'm not sure which ones it is, but they're the ones, like,

right in the middle, which is definitely not the Q

and definitely not the A,

-so I think that's incorrect as well.

-OK.

So if we are looking for the correct answer...

So I think the correct answer is John F Kennedy.

OK, we're going to lock in

the answer John F Kennedy

as a correct answer.

We hope this goes green. Let's find out.

It is.

Brilliant work.

John F Kennedy.

Yes, Liz, you were confident that John F Kennedy

was the right answer there.

He said that he could retire

from politics having had Happy Birthday

sung to him in such a sweet and wholesome manner,

when it was far from it.

And, yes, the two keys on a QWERTY keyboard with the bumps on them,

-not Q&A, as I think you know - F and J.

-Your pointy fingers.

-Right in the middle, yes.

-Gotcha.

You managed to work out the correct answer.

It gives you another stab at choosing a digit for the code.

There are seven left there now. What's it going to be?

I'm going to go for number five,

it's right in the middle there.

Let's find out, is number five in the code? Is it in the first box?

It's not in the first box. How about the second?

No. It's not there.

There is no five in the code.

But never mind because you are eliminating

the numbers at an easier stage of the game, you're making progress.

As long as you keep answering questions correctly,

-you will get there. Let's go again, shall we?

-Yeah.

Let's see the next three answers.

We are looking for one correct answer.

I'm going to start

-with triumph, please.

-OK.

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

I don't know.

In my head, I thought Triumph

might've been someone

that made bikes rather than cars,

but I am really very unsure

on that one.

I'll go with gin, please.

Let's go have a look at the question behind gin.

-It's rum.

-How do you know that?

Well, as a child, I lived in

-the Caribbean for a few years.

-OK.

They practically gave us

pina coladas at school on the way in

in the morning, so... It's not gin.

That's my kind of school.

Totally, totally inappropriate,

of course.

So your feeling with that one

is that that's not the case.

Gin is not a correct answer.

Is it going to be gin that you discard?

I will discard gin, yes, please.

OK. We're going to take gin

as an incorrect answer.

If it turns red,

then we can move on and have a look

at what's behind the answer bronze.

It is. Great stuff.

Rum, not gin, says Liz. Lesley.

No, and, Liz, weaned on pina colada,

that certainly helps you

to know its ingredients.

Pina colada, usually made with rum,

coconut and pineapple.

OK, that means we can bin

an incorrect answer and we can straightaway

look at the question behind bronze.

Oh, gosh. Now...

Is bronze an alloy?

Or an element?

I feel like bronze is not an alloy.

I feel like brass is the alloy which copper and zinc make, so

I think that's the incorrect answer

and that Triumph is the correct answer.

You know nothing about cars.

You're basing this just on your doubts about bronze, and copper

-and zinc.

-Yeah.

Despite knowing nothing about cars, we're going to lock in

Triumph as our correct answer.

We want that one to go green.

Is Triumph the correct answer?

SHE GASPS

Absolutely brilliant. Liz, you're playing brilliantly.

What's happening is the knowledge you've got about the things

you do know is filling in the gaps for the bits you don't know.

-Lesley, isn't it brilliant?

-That's fantastic.

And, Liz, you said that you thought

Triumph most closely associated with motorbikes

but still went with that as the right answer. Rightly so.

Triumph is associated with motorbikes.

They stopped making cars in the 1980s

so they could concentrate on bikes.

Copper and zinc, key elements in which alloy?

Now, bronze is an alloy. Usually, it's copper and tin.

The correct answer here is brass.

You got that absolutely right.

And it means that you've bought yourself the chance to enter

another digit into the code, Liz.

-OK.

-Where are you going to go next?

I'm going to follow the line across the pad and go with seven.

Is seven in the first box?

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

Come on.

Liz, that is phenomenal.

You're flying solo, you're doing it the brave way,

and here we are, standing in front of the code

with just two figures in it, just one more to get.

No single player has won yet.

Of course, at this next level,

things do get that little bit more difficult.

Now you can open just one question at a time before you have to commit.

Then you have to make a decision just on the basis of that question.

Remember, only one of the answers still will be correct.

-OK.

-Shall we have a look at the next three answers?

I think I'm going to go

with Sarah Palin to start, please.

OK. Let's have a look

at the question behind Sarah Palin.

I don't know,

but I think maybe it was

Condoleezza Rice,

but it certainly wasn't Sarah Palin.

So that's an incorrect answer.

OK. This again is kind of

sudden death.

That's where we're at.

We want this to be an incorrect answer.

Well done!

Brilliant work. Lesley.

For the first woman to be

US Secretary of State...

Sarah Palin was the governor of Alaska

and then stood for vice president, unsuccessfully.

You mentioned Condoleezza Rice,

she was the second woman

to be US Secretary of State.

The first was Madeleine Albright.

We can get rid of that incorrect answer, leaving you with two.

I'll go with James Blunt, please.

Let's have a look at the question behind James Blunt.

OK, so Shakespeare is not one of my strong points.

Now, James Blunt's album, I believe, is called Back To Bedlam.

So obviously,

the single off that was in the 2000s.

But I have no idea about Richard III.

It feels like you're piecing together

the bits of... This is the way you've played the game,

to be honest, until now.

..piecing together the things you do know to try

-and make sense of the little bit that maybe you don't know.

-Yeah.

But I think, like, that maybe James Blunt is his real name rather

than his stage name, so I'm going to say that that one's incorrect.

It's all or nothing, it's sudden death.

And you are so close,

you're within touching distance of £5,000,

which we really want you to take away.

Now we've done that, we can open the other one,

just to see how it makes you feel

when you see this question behind the National Trust.

We're hoping this is a correct answer now.

Oh, gosh. Now that could be... Isn't there like some kind of...?

There's National Trust,

but also isn't there some kind of Heritage Trust?

Do feel at this stage you're looking

at the correct answer? Did you make the right choice?

I still don't know, to be honest, so I can only just...

Fingers crossed and hope I've made the right choice, I think.

We want James Blunt to be an incorrect answer.

That's what we said. That's locked in now.

We want that to go red.

We want the National Trust to go green,

which allows you another stab at the code

and a chance to take away £5,000.

Let's find out. Is James Blunt

an incorrect answer?

-I'm so sorry.

-Oh, no!

I'm so sorry, Liz.

You did so well and you just came up against two questions where

you really couldn't decide on either of them.

Lesley, tell us the truth about these questions.

Oh, Liz, you knew that James Blunt had an album with Back To Bedlam -

hits such as You're Beautiful and Goodbye My Lover.

He has the same stage name

as the character in Richard III,

one of Richmond's supporters in that play.

His real name is James Blount, with an O.

The National Trust, Liz's instinct was that that was National Heritage.

-Almost. It's English Heritage.

-Right. But you know, without

seeing that, there's no way you could make that judgment.

I'm so sorry, Liz, because you played so intelligently and so well.

And all by yourself.

-I hope your mum still manages to get to Madagascar.

-Thank you.

-What number would you have chosen next?

-Zero.

You would have gone for zero next.

Let's have a look at the number you were looking for there.

In that final box...

It was a two. A two.

So a little bit of work still to do there, Liz,

but listen, you know, the way you've played the game has been fantastic.

It's been phenomenal.

Unfortunately, it breaks our hearts to say, on this occasion,

Liz, we have to wish you bon voyage.

-Thank you very much, it's been a lot of fun. Goodbye.

-Bye-bye.

So close! It's almost unfair. HE LAUGHS

But unfortunately, that means Liz has to leave,

and it means the jackpot goes up, which is

good news for the next contestants hoping to crack the code.

Gentlemen, gentlemen, welcome.

-Good to see you. Chris.

-Yes.

-Sam.

-Hiya, Matt.

-And Paul.

-Yes.

-Right. Good to see you and welcome to the show.

Now, tell me about yourselves, how do you know each other?

I grew up with Sam, playing football since we were six.

And then about five years ago,

-Paul came down and started playing football with us.

-Right.

So you're all in the same team or is it just the three of you

-in a park?

-Same team.

-You're in the same team.

-Yeah.

-Brilliant. And whereabouts in the world is that?

-Bristol.

Bristol, OK. Brilliant. So how does this work, then?

Who plays where on the field?

-Well, that's the manager.

-You're the manager?

-He plays where he wants.

You play wherever you want because basically you write the team sheet.

-And how about you, Sam?

-I'm a midfielder, generally.

-Midfielder?

-That's working out today as well.

-Yeah.

-I'm a goal hanger.

-You're a goal hanger.

-Yeah.

-You are the striking threat.

-Absolutely.

I used to be, yeah.

-And do score many?

-Not enough.

-MATT LAUGHS

So speaks the manager. Is it going to work the same way today, though?

-Are you in control of this today?

-It's a team effort.

-Who's the best player?

-Me.

-Me.

-None of them.

-THEY LAUGH

Excellent. Well, listen, welcome to the show and the very best of luck.

Liz, our lovely previous contestant, failed, unfortunately.

And that means we add another £500 to the jackpot.

And that takes it up to £5,500.

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

-Definitely.

-Absolutely, yeah. Fantastic.

-OK. Let's reset the code.

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

Remember, only one of those is correct.

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

At this point, you can

open all three answers

to reveal the questions.

So, where do you want to start -

hammer, may or Colorado?

-I think we know where to start, don't we?

-Yeah, got to.

May's my wife, so...

May is your wife's name?

-Yeah.

-That'll be nice a question.

It probably won't be a question

-about her.

-Well, let's see.

If the question is "What is the name of Sam's wife?"

I'll be very surprised. It'll be a fix.

Let's open the question behind May.

I remember I went to France one year

when it was being celebrated,

so we wouldn't have gone early in the year, I don't think.

It would've been school holidays when I was...

OK. Well, at this stage,

you can open both the other ones.

You don't need to worry too much. You can get a bit of context there.

Which one do want to go for next?

-Hammer?

-Yeah.

Let's open the question behind hammer.

OK, we've got that one,

that's definitely not hammer.

-CHRIS, PAUL:

-Screwdriver.

We think that could be a false one.

Let's open the last one, Colorado.

-Is it...?

-California.

Yeah, I was going to say,

Disney World and Disneyland.

One of them's Florida,

one of them's California.

So none of them are Colorado.

It could be VE Day then.

Well, yes, it's definitely not

the hammer and it's not Colorado.

So, May?

It's got to be May then.

-Happy?

-Yep, we'll go with May.

We're going to lock in May

as the correct answer.

If it is, you get the chance to put a digit into the code

to see if it will stick.

It is.

-Well done.

-We got one!

-You got there in the end.

-Just about.

May then, Lesley.

-Not June or July?

-Not June or July,

I was really worried you were going to

slip up there. May, the anniversary on the 8th of May.

You mentioned June. June is when the D-Day landings are commemorated.

The tool which features a Phillips head,

you dismissed this immediately, you knew that that was a screwdriver.

And Walt Disney World Resort,

in which state?

You couldn't quite decide which one was California,

which one was Florida.

This one's in Florida.

Disneyland is in California.

Good stuff. So you've got your first question out of the way,

that means you get the chance to choose a number

to go into the code, to see if it sticks.

I would imagine shirt numbers could come into play here.

Is that going to be part of it? What's the strategy?

Paul wears number nine.

-Number nine?

-Yeah.

-OK, sounds good.

We're going to try the number nine to see if it is in the code.

Is it in the first box?

It's not in the first box. How about the second box?

It's not there.

How about the final box of the code?

Number nine,

who doesn't make it into the box. CHRIS LAUGHS

That's not good. That's not good.

But here is the good news, it is progress.

It's still making progress.

You've eliminated number nine from our enquiries.

We know it's not in the code

and you still get to play the game

at this stage, where you can see all three questions, all three answers.

Let's see your next three answers.

30,000 feet, what do you reckon?

-I think that's going to be cruising altitude for a plane.

-Yeah?

Which I'm sure is 30,000 feet.

We'll see 30,000 feet, please.

30,000 feet.

-That's harsh.

-OK, I think we'll see feathers.

-THEY LAUGH

-We'll go straight to feathers.

Let's have a look at that question.

Seasons.

-The Four Seasons, yeah.

-Yeah.

-Safe there?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-I think so, yeah.

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

Well, Trudeau sounds French,

so could be French-Canadian.

Yeah, it definitely sounds

-plausible.

-30,000 feet?

-That is massive.

-Yeah, that is big.

I'm leaning towards Canada being true.

-I think so. It sounds sensible.

-Yeah.

-It's the only one we've got

half an inkling about.

If it was French, I think we would've heard of it more.

-If it was a French Prime Minister...

-Yeah.

-..rather than a Canadian?

-Canada?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Let's go with that.

We're going to lock in Canada

as the correct answer.

If this goes green, you get to put another digit into the code.

If it doesn't, I'm afraid

that's the end of our journey.

Let's find out.

It is. Well done. Good deduction.

Canada, you didn't really know.

-No.

-You weren't sure

about that at all. Lesley.

Yes, the Trudeau father and son -

Pierre and his son Justin,

who became Prime Minister of Canada in 2015,

recently listed on Vogue's Sexiest Men Alive list.

Then The Munros, they are named after

Sir Hew Munro, mountains with heights exceeding

not 30,000 feet, which is massive.

30,000 feet would be taller than Mount Everest.

It is 3,000 feet.

And the Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi wrote music

about not feathers but seasons.

Fantastic stuff. I really loved

the way you guys were playing there.

Because as a team, you're working it through, being logical,

and actually saying, "Hold on, 30,000 feet..."

You'd already worked out that was a cruising altitude.

It's not great to have mountains where... That's the way it works.

Really good work.

It means you get to the chance to pick another number for the code.

What's it going to be?

-Shirt numbers? No ten.

-Go zero?

-OK.

-You've got a one and a zero.

-Zero.

Let's find out, is zero in your

code? Is it in the first box?

Is it in the second box?

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

There is no zero in your code.

-Are you ready to see another three answers?

-Yes.

-Please.

Which one do you want to go for?

Here comes our sports.

-Cricket.

-Going to go for cricket.

Let's have a look at that question.

-It's cricket.

-That's straightaway.

-The Big Bash...

-The T-20, definitely.

Let's see the rest cos...

Shall we open the others?

-Yeah.

-Which one?

-Gorgonzola, please.

-Let's have a look at gorgonzola.

-ALL: It's feta.

-Yeah.

-OK.

-And Cash In The Attic.

-OK, last one.

-That can't be right.

-Shark Tank

is on telly, isn't it?

Yeah, but that's more like shock TV

-not...

-Cash In The Attic.

..your old bits in the loft, is it?

MATT LAUGHS Which I think is a better title.

-Your Old Bits In The Loft.

-A sequel.

Yeah, I like that.

Cricket... The Big Bash is...

The Big Bash and T-20 is definitely.

I've not heard of the Ram Slam,

but there's one

in the Caribbean as well.

I agree, I think cricket's

the right answer, I'm just...

Make sure we didn't slip up

cos the Ram Slam, really, I don't recognise that.

-Happy with cricket?

-Cricket.

We're going to go for cricket.

Let's lock in cricket as our correct answer.

Let's hope this isn't a slip-up.

It would be embarrassing to fail

on a sporting question.

We want cricket to be

the correct answer and turn green.

It is. Well done.

-Phew.

-Your instincts were absolutely right.

But the midfielder being cautious.

I like that. I like that.

-Lesley, cricket.

-Right.

The Ram Slam is in South Africa,

the Big Bash in Australia

and the T-20 Blast in the UK.

You immediately knew that that was the right pair.

The TV show

that originated in Japan

as Money Tigers and known in the USA as Shark Tank,

not Cash In The Attic but Dragons' Den.

-That's right.

-Ah.

-Yeah.

And the cheese in a Greek salad, synchronised quizzing

from the three of you, all saying feta, which is the correct answer.

Well done, gentlemen. You made short work of that.

It allows you another chance to enter a number into the code.

Shirt numbers haven't been great for you so far,

what are you going to go for next?

My shirt number, 11.

-So one.

-Let's have a look, is the number one in our code?

Is it in the first box?

It's not there. How about the second box?

It's not there either.

How about the final box of the code?

It's not there.

Skilful elimination.

You're skilfully avoiding the numbers in the code.

But that does mean it's three numbers

out of contention now, only seven left.

-Are you ready to see your next answers?

-Yeah.

Augustus Gloop is Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.

Willy Wonka.

A mountain is not 30,000 feet tall,

-generally.

-Go mountain?

-Try and get rid of mountain?

-Yeah.

-Let's have a look

at the question behind a mountain.

-It doesn't look familiar.

-No.

-Shall we open another one?

-Yeah.

-Peugeot, please.

-Peugeot.

-Renault.

-Yeah, you've got one.

-You're confident that's an incorrect answer.

-Yeah.

-Shall we look at Augustus Gloop?

-I've got one. A Clio!

THEY LAUGH

I don't think it's Augustus Gloop.

He's in it, but did he...?

I don't know.

Sam's speciality is children's TV.

-Is that right?

-Yeah.

-I watch a lot nowadays.

-Right.

-The Fremantle Doctor...

-That sounds right.

Really?

-A mountain?

-You sound confident,

but I know what you're like really.

MATT LAUGHS

Augustus Gloop, I don't think he's first.

He ends up eating something and growing the size of a blueberry,

-so it's gradual.

-Yeah.

Besides, he's blue like a blueberry.

He eats something blueberry.

But I don't think he's first,

-so I think...

-Go on instinct?

-Australia? Mountain?

-Mountain.

-OK.

-Yeah.

We're going to lock in a mountain

-as your correct answer.

-Mm-hm.

It's coming from the gaffer.

We want it to turn green.

And that gives you another chance

to choose a digit for the code.

If it's wrong,

I'm afraid you're going home.

It's not the right answer.

It's incorrect. It's not a mountain.

Let's find out

which one was the correct answer.

Augustus Gloop was the first one to be ejected.

Unfortunately, Sam, you should've

been watching a bit more closely.

-Lesley.

-Yes, Sam, you ought to have been taking notes.

Augustus Gloop falls into the chocolate river

and gets sucked up into a pipe.

You mentioned blueberry -

that was Violet Beauregarde, who eats

gum and turns into a giant blueberry.

In Australia, the Fremantle Doctor is not a mountain

but a cooling sea breeze.

And the Clio and the Megane,

you knew this one, it was Renault, no Peugeot.

It's been lovely having you.

You seem like a great team.

I'd love to come and see you play sometime down in Bristol.

But on this occasion, I'm so sorry,

you've failed to break the code, and that means final whistle.

-Thank you.

-Thank you very much. Thank you.

-Cheers.

Yep, Sam, Chris and Paul make their way through the door,

but that does mean the jackpot goes up again. Who's going to win it?

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

Welcome to the show, Dennis.

-Pleased to meet you, Matt.

-Pleased to meet you.

-And Jonathan.

-How are you, Matt?

-You're both from Stanford, in Lincolnshire.

-Yeah, that's correct.

-Yes.

-What's it like? Is it nice there? Never been.

-It's beautiful.

-It's a beautiful town.

-Tell me how you know each other.

-We're family friends, basically.

-Yeah, family friends.

We started going to football together and that sort of thing.

And basically, we bounce off each other a little bit, you know.

But you thought you'd make a quiz team, clearly.

We thought we would, yes.

There is obviously a generational gap or few between us.

I know what John's strong on, and I'm weak on those two subjects.

So what are those subjects? What would you like questions on, Dennis?

I don't really mind as long as it's not films and music.

-Not your cup of tea?

-Not at all.

-Is that where you fill in?

Yeah, I'd like...

I'm quite a music buff and film/TV buff, so, yeah,

-we complement each other that way.

-Yeah.

-OK, fantastic.

Well, listen, we wish you the very best of luck.

-It's lovely to have you...

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

The previous team failed,

and that means another £500 goes into the safe.

-The jackpot now stands at a grand total of £6,000.

-Wow.

-That'll do us.

-That'll do nicely.

-That'll do very nicely.

Yeah, I would've thought so. Let's reset the code.

-There it is, it's hidden away. Are you ready?

-Yes.

-We're ready.

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

There's one for you, Dennis.

Remember, only one of those

is a correct answer.

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

At this point, you can

open all three answers

to reveal the questions.

So the order doesn't really matter

too much at the moment,

but where would you like to start?

Start from the top and work down?

Yeah, that would do.

OK, let's have a look at

the question behind The Spice Girls.

I know that is true.

I don't know it. Like I said...

-I know that's true.

-Yeah, yeah.

-Because I went to see it.

-Really?

-That really helps, Jonathan.

-Right.

Already, you think you might have

identified the correct answer?

Straightaway, that one, yes.

-I'll bow to you on that, John.

-Yeah.

OK, let's open the others.

Shall we go for Saturday next?

Yes, please.

Let's have a look at the question

behind Saturday.

Wednesday.

Yeah, it is not Saturday then.

Shall we open the question behind Texas as well?

-Please.

-Let's have a look.

I think that is in Texas.

I believe that is in Texas.

I've read that somewhere,

but I could be wrong.

There's only one correct answer in there.

-I'm pretty sure it's The Spice Girls.

-Yeah.

Silicon Valley...is San Bernardino?

-Which is California, I think.

-Is it?

Do know, John, I think you're right.

-I think...

-I think you're right.

-Spice Girls?

-Yeah, yeah.

-We'll go with The Spice Girls.

-Spice Girls.

OK, we want to lock in The Spice Girls?

Lock in The Spice Girls.

Let's lock it in. If it's the correct answer,

you get to choose a digit

from the code. If it's wrong,

then it is a very short trip

to the show for you, gentlemen.

It is.

-Thank you, John.

-That's why I'm here.

-Well done.

If you'd gone and seen it and got it wrong,

we would have been disappointed.

-Yes.

-OK, The Spice Girls.

-Lesley.

-Yes,

Spies Girls is the right answer.

Written by Jennifer Saunders.

And, Jonathan, you are one of the lucky few who got to see

-it on its short run.

-Yeah!

And then in English, the day of

the week which has the longest name, not Saturday

-but Wednesday.

-Yeah, Wednesday.

The home to many of the world's

largest hi-tech corporations,

not Texas but - exactly as you said - California.

OK, so we had the correct answers as well.

You don't get any of bonus points.

But it does mean you get to choose a figure to put it into the code.

-Number nine?

-You got that right, you choose.

-Number nine then.

OK, is it in the first box?

No. Is it in the second box?

Is it in the third box?

-No.

-Not such a lucky number then!

-There is no number nine in the code.

-OK.

-Are you ready for your next answers?

-Please, yep.

-Let's have a look.

We'll go with Sony

and work our way down, please.

OK, let's start by seeing the question behind Sony.

-Oh, blimey.

-It could well be Sony.

I don't know that, John.

They were obviously at the forefront

of technology around then.

Too technical for me, that one.

-Yeah, yeah.

-Shall we open another one?

Please, yeah.

Yeah, open another one.

Let's look at the question behind aircraft carrier.

-It was a film.

-Yeah.

-It was... Yeah, it was a submarine.

Do you know, I think you're right.

But they were looking for the submarine.

Yeah, yeah.

So... I can't remember.

-OK, can we move on to the third one, please?

-Yeah.

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

-No, that's not right.

-That's wrong.

-So Berlin is wrong.

-Yeah, yeah.

What type of vessel did Sean Connery command?

That was a submarine.

-Yeah.

-Aircraft carrier,

-therefore, would be wrong.

-Yeah.

So we're going to go, therefore,

with the correct answer would be Sony.

-Sony Betamax.

-Yeah.

-This is by process of elimination?

-Process of elimination.

Sony, please.

Let's lock in Sony.

If it is correct, you get to choose another digit.

If it's wrong, that's the end of the game for you,

Dennis and Jonathan.

It is.

Great work. Lesley.

The company which developed the Betamax format

is Sony. JVC had the VHS format,

which became more successful.

The type of vessel which Sean Connery commanded

in The Hunt For Red October.

Jonathan, you knew this straightaway,

it was a submarine rather than an aircraft carrier.

This submarine was called

Red October, and they were very much hunting for it.

And the city in which Anne Frank wrote her famous diary,

-not Berlin, you knew that felt wrong. It was Amsterdam.

-Yeah.

Good work.

It means that you get the chance to pick another number to

put into the code. Nine wasn't there. Nine numbers left.

-Number six.

-Number six.

-My birthday.

-Is it?

-Yes.

-Right.

Dennis's birthday, number six, does that mean it's in the code?

-Let's have a look.

-Of course it is.

Is it in the first box?

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

Not there.

How about the final box?

Is six there?

-It isn't. What a rotten birthday.

-Yeah, we're rubbish, aren't we?

-I'm so sorry, guys.

-We're going all the way here, you know.

We're going all the way. I like that.

Right, are you ready to see your next three answers?

-Please.

-Yes.

-Thank you.

-OK, here we go.

St Kilda is a Scottish island.

I'm glad you know that one.

Yeah, yeah, that is a Scottish

-island.

-Matilda, book by Roald Dahl.

-And Hilda, Hilda Ogden, Coronation Street.

-Yeah, yeah.

-We'll start from the top and work down.

-Let's do that.

OK, the question behind Matilda, please.

-Well, Matilda is definitely a Roald Dahl book.

-Yeah.

Boggis, Bunce and Bean...

are in a Roald Dahl book.

But whether it's in Matilda...

I can't remember.

-Hm.

-Shall we open another one?

-Yeah, open Hilda.

-Please.

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

-I know this.

-Yeah.

-I know that's wrong.

-Yeah.

-Cos it's Norma.

-Norma Major.

-Norma, yeah.

-So Hilda, that'll be wrong.

-Yeah.

So we can put that one out

-straightaway.

-Yeah.

-OK.

So St Kilda, please.

Let's have a look at the question behind St Kilda.

I know St Kilda is

an island off Scotland,

I knew that straightaway.

Is it the westernmost point,

-though?

-Yeah...

It certainly is between

Matilda and St Kilda.

I think we are on a 50-50.

We are on a 50-50.

You think you've narrowed it down

to either Matilda or St Kilda

being the correct answer.

-That was Norma Major, yeah.

-I am...

..more certain that it's Matilda,

but I don't know

-about the last one at all.

-No, no.

As I say...

As I say, I did know that

it was a Scottish island,

but I couldn't have said

that it was the westernmost

point of the Outer Hebrides.

I couldn't have said that.

Shall we go for Matilda then?

If you wish. Yeah.

-If I wish! Cheers, mate.

-THEY LAUGH

I would have gone for St Kilda

if it'd been me, but...

-JONATHAN LAUGHS

-Oh, blimey.

THEY LAUGH

We're at odds here.

You've been a solid team so far.

We're not going to crack.

We'll go with you, John.

OK, we'll go for Matilda.

You've been right the last twice,

-we'll go with you.

-Third time lucky.

-Yeah, yeah. I've got somebody to blame then.

-All right, fine.

-We'll go with it.

-Yeah.

Boggis, Bunce and Bean...

What other Roald Dahl books are there?

It's not Charlie And The Chocolate Factory...

We read about three books

with the kids together.

The Twits,

Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and Matilda.

And I'll never live this down for my daughter if I get this wrong.

-No.

-So let's go with it.

-Yeah, we'll go with it.

-Matilda.

Was Daddy paying attention?

That's the question here.

We're going to lock in Matilda

as our correct answer.

There it is, locked in.

We want that to be the correct answer.

We want Boggis, Bunce and Bean

to be the enemies of Matilda

in the Roald Dahl book

of the same name.

We want it to go green.

If it does, we get to choose

another number to go in the code.

If it's red, that's the end,

we're back to Stanford, in Lincolnshire.

Is Matilda the correct answer?

-It's not.

-No!

-Sorry, Dennis.

That's all right, John.

My dad of the year award is out the window, isn't it?

Yeah, yeah.

Let's find out exactly

which was the correct answer.

-It was St Kilda.

-Yeah.

-Sorry.

-No, no.

-Lesley.

Yes, that's right. St Kilda, the name there,

the correct pair, there was

no St Kilda ever associated with

the islands. People aren't sure

quite where the name comes from.

-Yeah.

-For the top one, Matilda...

Boggis, Bunce and Bean -

one fat, one short, one lean.

-They come from Fantastic Mr Fox.

-Oh!

Matilda's main enemy

-was Miss Trunchbull.

-Yep.

And the first name of the wife of

the former Prime Minister John Major,

You knew this straightaway, John.

That's not Hilda but Norma.

The last Prime Minister with

-no wife, Margaret Thatcher.

-Yeah.

She had a husband instead.

Thank you, Lesley.

Thank you very much.

Gentlemen, I hope this doesn't come between you. Dennis...

-It will not.

-It will not.

-You did kind of know that.

Jonathan, it's because you're such a good dad.

You read all those books,

sometimes you can get a bit confused. I know what that's like.

But listen, you've been a fantastic team. And you've played very well.

-I hope you've enjoyed it.

-We have.

-We wish you all the best.

On this occasion, though, you failed to break the code,

-so we have to wish you bon voyage and goodbye.

-Thank you.

-Thank you very much.

-Lovely to meet you.

-Thanks for having us.

-Thank you.

-Well done.

-Thank you.

So, they are falling thick and fast today,

but as always, one team's failing is the next team's gain.

The jackpot is now up to £6,500.

Will anybody be able to open that safe tomorrow? Thank you, Lesley.

-You're very welcome.

-And thanks for watching. Goodbye.
