Episode 8 The Code

Hello, and welcome to The Code.

The money inside this safe has now gone up to £6,500.

To open the safe and win the jackpot,

contestants just need to crack a three-digit code.

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

-Hello. Thelma and Carl, lovely to see you.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-How are you?

-Nice to meet you.

-Now, originally from Dublin. Is that right?

-Correct.

-And from Newhaven?

-Originally from Warwick.

-OK.

And am I right - married not once but twice?

-BOTH LAUGH

-Yeah.

-What happened?

-I loved him so much I had to marry him twice.

-Aw, fantastic.

Well, how did that work, then?

We got married at a festival in the Nevada desert...

-Wow.

-..in 2004.

And on the 10th anniversary of that,

we decided to do it legally and got married again.

So, the first time wasn't actually... It was just fun?

-It was a pagan ceremony.

-Wow.

-Yeah.

-OK.

-What do you do for a living?

-I'm a midwifery lecturer.

So you teach other people how to deliver babies?

How to become midwives, yes.

-And, Carl, how about you?

-I'm a digital content manager.

And what is one of them? CARL LAUGHS

-I decide what does or doesn't go on a website.

-I see.

-Basically.

-OK.

Now, last time there was £6,500 in the safe

somebody won it. THELMA GASPS

So, we're hoping that's some kind of auspicious omen

and that it's going to be the same for you guys today.

-Are you ready to play?

-Yes. Ready to play.

-Yeah.

-OK.

To open the safe and win that £6,500,

you need to enter a three-digit code.

All you have to do each time is pick the correct answer.

Sounds simple, doesn't it?

Then you get to select a number from between zero and nine.

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

But be warned, if you pick an incorrect answer,

it's instant elimination,

sudden death - terribly, terribly brutal.

An easy game to play, a very hard game to win.

Let's set the code.

Three blanks at the moment. Let's see if we can change that.

Before we start, let me introduce the person

who sheds light on our questions and gives us some of the answers,

the all-knowing, all-seeing Lesley Brewis.

-Hello, Lesley.

-Hello, Thelma and Carl.

-Hello.

OK, if you're ready. Brace yourselves.

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

Remember, only one of them

is correct.

What you're trying to find is that one correct answer.

But at this point, the great news is

you can open all three questions.

Which one do you think you'll go for first?

Oh...

We'll start with Leicester.

-OK, we'll start at the top.

-OK.

Let's see the question behind Leicester.

Where in England is Lea and Perrins sauce made and bottled?

OK.

-Have you any thoughts on that?

-Not Leicester.

-Not Leicester.

-Good man.

-Thinking not Leicester.

Shall we move straight on

-to Jerry Springer?

-I think so.

-Let's have a look at

the question behind Jerry Springer.

-It's...

-It's possible.

-Yeah.

-It's possible.

I do know that it's true, but it is a possible, so...

Let's have a look at

the last one, shall we?

The question behind Andes, please.

-Well, that's definitely wrong.

-Yeah. It's in France, isn't it?

It is in France.

-OK.

-So, you're confident?

Lea and Perrins is Worcestershire, Worcester sauce.

Oh, of course.

-So Leicester's not in Worcestershire.

-Yes.

And the Andes is South America,

-Mont Blanc's in France.

-Yeah.

So Jerry Springer must've been the Mayor of Cincinnati...

-Surprising.

-..in 1977.

-Yep.

Does that sound right, boss?

Yes. I'll go with that.

OK, we want to

-lock in Jerry Springer?

-Yes.

If it is the correct answer,

you get to choose your first number

to see if it's there in the code.

If it's incorrect, then

I'm afraid that's it,

back to Newhaven for both of you.

Let's find out.

Is Jerry Springer the correct answer?

-It is.

-Yay!

-Spot on.

Well done. A very good start.

-Lesley.

-That's right.

Jerry Springer, once a politician

then became a TV news anchor

and eventually the host of

that outrageous talk show.

Where in England is Lea and Perrins

sauce made and bottled?

Not in Leicester - never heard of

a Leicestershire sauce -

but in Worcester.

Exactly as you said.

And the mountain range in which you

would find Mont Blanc.

Well, it's between France and Italy.

Not in the Andes but in the Alps.

OK. Great stuff.

Thank you very much. So, there we have it.

Even if you don't necessarily know the correct answer,

by eliminating the other two, at this stage, you can get there.

And what it's got you is a chance to choose one number

to put into the code to see if it's there.

What's it going to be?

-We already decided we would go for seven for the first one.

-OK.

-Number seven. Lucky for some...

-Yeah.

-..they say.

Is seven in the first box?

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

No. How about in the final box of the code?

Is there a seven?

-No seven there.

-Oh, well.

-BOTH CHUCKLE

But don't worry too much, because it's early days

and you are narrowing it down

and doing it at a stage where you can still see

all the answers and all the questions at the same time.

-Shall we move on and see your next three answers?

-OK.

-Here we go.

-Any preference?

-No, no. Don't mind.

-OK, we'll start with Italy this time.

-OK, yes.

Starting in the middle.

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

It's definitely not Italy.

-Isn't it Denmark?

-Netherlands, I think.

-Netherlands.

Oh, it's the Netherlands. You're right.

So I think... We think that's wrong.

-July?

-Yeah.

-OK, let's have a look at

the question behind July.

Well, the Olympics are in July.

-I think that might be right.

-OK.

-That could be right.

-Could be right.

-Not sure about that one.

Fairly sure Italy doesn't feel right.

-Is that what we're saying?

-Yeah.

-Let's have a look at Lily.

-I don't know.

-Hm...

I'm afraid I don't know that either.

-Saffron.

-Saffron.

Have you used saffron at all?

Well, I'm trying to think.

Saffron, it's mainly produced in India, I think.

And I'm not sure that...

It don't really associate

lilies with India.

I know it used to be really, really expensive.

-Yeah, because it was imported.

-Yeah.

And I just don't associate lilies with India.

Do you think July is the right answer?

-Let's go for July. Let's go for July.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-OK.

-OK, we're going to lock in

July as the correct answer.

If it's correct,

we get another chance to put

a digit into the code.

Is July the correct answer?

Let's find out.

It is.

Well done.

That could've gone either way.

-Lesley.

-It could have.

-THEY LAUGH

Yes, very well worked out.

The opening ceremony on the 27th of July

featuring that memorable clip with

Daniel Craig collecting the Queen

to take her to the opening ceremony.

The spice saffron produced from

a type of which flower?

Not the lily.

Thelma, you seemed to know a bit about saffron.

It is produced in India

among other places.

The correct answer, though -

not lily, but the crocus.

And the country in which

Willem-Alexander succeeded his mother, Queen Beatrix.

Not Italy, but the Netherlands.

-She abdicated.

-Thank you, Lesley.

And you got that as well. You knew it was the Netherlands.

We get the chance to put in another digit.

Which one is it going to be next?

-Well, your lucky number's 13, isn't it?

-Yeah.

We'll go for number one first.

You could have four. Add them together, get four.

-CARL LAUGHS

-Oh, careful.

I'm just throwing that out.

Let's have a look and see if it's there in the first box.

It's not there. The second box?

-It is there.

-Ooh! Yes!

-You've found the first number.

That now means you move on to the next level of the game,

where it gets a little bit harder.

As before, you see all three answers,

but you only get to see two of the questions

before you have to commit and make a decision.

-You're going to have to focus.

-We are.

You're going to have to concentrate.

Let's have a look at the three answers.

It does start to

become important,

the order in which you choose these.

-OK.

-I'm thinking medical knowledge.

Hopefully, I'll be able

to know whether that one

is definitely right or wrong.

-Think it's a good one to go for?

-Yeah.

How much it comes into

delivering a baby, I don't know.

We want to choose tibia.

Is that what we're saying?

-Yes, let's go for tibia.

-Let's have a look at

the question behind tibia.

-Well, it's...

-I think that's right, isn't?

-No, it's not.

-Isn't it?

-It's the femur.

-Is it?

-Mm-hm.

-You think it's the femur?

-Yep.

-OK. Well, we get to open

one more question before you have to

make any kind of decision.

Which one's it going to be?

-You pick.

-OK.

-Erm...Venus.

-OK.

-Well, they're on Mars.

-Good man.

Right, so, from what you're saying,

it sounds like we're looking at two

possibly incorrect answers.

-Is that your feeling?

-Yes.

I'm sure that's Mars, the top one.

-OK.

-So I think...

-I'm comfortable with my one too.

-...we can discard Venus.

-Yeah, OK.

Carl is sure that

Venus is an incorrect answer.

If it is correct,

I'm afraid that's

the end of the game for you.

If it is incorrect, we get to play on,

see what's happening behind

the answer Hong Kong.

-We want to see it turn red.

-OK.

Great stuff.

Good stuff.

It's not the right answer.

-Lesley.

-That's right.

Carl, very confidently asserting

that it is Mars

on which you'd find Opportunity and Curiosity,

and that's absolutely right.

Venus, the atmosphere there,

it's very hostile -

hotter than a domestic oven -

so no rovers active there at the moment.

You don't want to go there.

That means we get to bin that incorrect answer.

Away it goes.

And we get to open Hong Kong and have a look at that question.

I know that is correct.

-That is, isn't it?

-That is correct, yes.

-You're happy with that?

-Yeah.

-As a correct answer?

-Yes.

Let's lock it in.

OK, we want that to be the correct answer and turn green.

If it is, you get to choose another number from the code.

Fantastic. Fantastic.

You knew all three there, didn't you?

-You were happy with all three, I think.

-Yes, yeah.

-Lesley.

Yes, the bank HSBC, founded in Hong Kong

and then in Shanghai about a month afterwards.

That's why it was called

the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation.

And, Thelma, you instantly knew... And why wouldn't you?

..that the femur is the longest bone in the human body.

So, Carl sure about Mars, Thelma sure about femur,

leaving Hong Kong as the right answer.

-Thank you, Lesley.

-Thank you.

-There would've been

some embarrassed faces in the lecture room...

-There would.

-..if you'd got that one wrong.

So, nothing to worry about. That's the good news.

Right, we get to pick another number.

You've got one there, slap bang in the middle of the code.

There are two other spaces available.

Where are you going to go next?

-Go for three, then?

-Yeah.

-Yeah, three.

-Number three.

-Mm.

Is three in the code? Is it there in the first box?

No. Is it in that final box?

-It is!

-Oh!

-In the third box.

13.

Lucky for some, and lucky for you.

-You've only got one more digit to find.

-OK.

That also means we now move on to the next level

where it becomes really quite tricky

because you can only open one question at a time.

Then you have to make a decision on the basis of what you're seeing

if it's right or wrong, correct or incorrect.

-OK?

-Yep.

-OK.

-We're very close to £6,500.

Let's see the next three answers. Here we go.

We get to see one at a time.

So it's really important

which one you choose now.

-Does anything leap out at you?

-No.

Er...I think the pearl earring is...

-OK, we'll go for that one.

-Yeah, shall we go?

-Yeah.

Let's have a look at the question behind pearl earring.

It's not the pearl earring. I do know that.

It's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

You're happy that that's

-an incorrect answer?

-I'm happy

that's an incorrect answer, yeah.

The Girl With The Pearl Earring is a painting.

-A painting by, I think, Vermeer.

-OK.

If this is a correct answer,

then we're straight out of here, I'm afraid,

so we really want this to be

an incorrect answer.

We want this to turn red

if we're to carry on playing the game.

Great stuff.

-Yes!

-Absolutely brilliant.

You're on your way. Lesley.

That's right, Thelma,

you knew all the elements you needed

to suss out that this was the wrong answer.

The Girl With A Pearl Earring,

exactly as you said.

It's a painting by Vermeer

and a film starring Colin Firth and Scarlett Johansson.

The correct answer, you got that right.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

from the Millennium series of books.

Thank you, Lesley.

That means we can bin an incorrect answer there,

and it leaves us with two, one of which must be correct.

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

The question is where do we want to go next -

Hawaii or robin?

-You want robin.

-Let's go for robin.

-Let's go robin.

-OK.

Let's open the question behind robin.

Right, it's not the robin.

It's black and white, isn't it?

Yeah. The robin won

the favourite bird

of the UK this year, so they did win that.

I can't remember...

Is something like a curlew or something, but it's not a robin.

-Not a robin.

-I think that's wrong.

-So I think that's wrong.

-OK, so you both think that's an incorrect answer.

-Yeah.

At least we agree.

-Yeah.

-Let's hope you're right.

For £6,500 -

that's what we're getting close to here -

we want to say that robin is an incorrect answer.

And that means,

by definition, Hawaii must be the correct answer

in your opinion.

So we're going to have a quick look at Hawaii

and see how that makes you feel.

I would imagine that is right.

I don't know that as a fact, cos I've never heard of either them,

but I know that it's made up of volcanoes.

-I've heard of Mauna Loa.

-Oh, have you?

-Yeah.

-OK.

-I think that is right.

-Yeah.

-You are happy with the decision you've made?

-Yes.

We want robin to be an incorrect answer.

and Hawaii to be the correct answer.

-Well done.

-Yay!

Absolutely no doubt in your minds, got it spot on.

-Lesley.

-Yes, that's right.

The island is Hawaii.

Birthplace of Barack Obama and Nicole Kidman.

The bird which is on the logo of the RSPB,

you both immediately knew that that wasn't the robin.

-It's the avocet.

-It's the avocet.

Luckily, that wasn't the question.

Glad we weren't asked that one. Fantastic.

We are getting very close now to £6,500.

We have two numbers in the code.

There still seven left to choose from, though.

That's quite a lot. The odds aren't great.

But at the same time,

you're answering questions with such aplomb,

you know, that's the most important bit.

It's time to choose another number.

Your 13 worked perfectly,

so maybe a bit more superstition might help.

Well, I was thinking our birthdays. So I was thinking two.

Whose birthday is that?

-12th is my birthday.

-And mine's the third.

So I was thinking that top line would actually be our birthdays.

-OK.

-Mm, go on, then.

What I'm going to ask you to do is one of you to join me

down by the safe and put it in.

-Who's it going to be?

-Me. I've been nominated.

Thelma, let's go.

You've chosen the number two.

If that is the correct number, then the door will open

and you'll take home £6,500.

Only our second winners so far.

Are you ready?

-As ready as I'm ever going to be.

-SHE GIGGLES

-Punch in the number two.

-OK.

Is it there?

Come on! Come on!

-Oh!

-It's not there.

It's not there THIS TIME. It's not there this time.

We've got plenty of other numbers to choose from.

-Let's go and rejoin Carl.

-Thank you.

OK. So, There are now only six numbers left choose from.

-Uh-huh, yeah.

-We're still positive?

-Yeah.

-Oh, yeah.

Let's see our next three answers.

I don't mind. Do you want to pick one?

-Just pick one.

-Just pick one. OK.

-Let's pick...brandy.

-Brandy.

-Why not?

Let's open the question behind brandy.

-Diminutive form...

-Can't imagine that it would be brandy.

Wouldn't that be something like aqua...

Aqua or uisce or...

Well, that's whiskey, isn't it?

Or aqua vite...

Water of life. That's not brandy, is it?

No. No.

-I think it's wrong...

-I think it's wrong.

..but I don't know...I don't know what the answer is.

-I think that's wrong.

-OK.

We think it's wrong.

You're happy to mark that down

-as an incorrect answer.

-Yeah.

If it's the correct answer,

then despite all of your brilliance,

that's the end of the game.

We want brandy to turn red.

So, it is incorrect.

-It's not brandy. Lesley.

-That's right.

Thelma and Carl,

you didn't know the right answer,

but you knew the wrong one

was brandy, and that's enough.

Brandy comes from brandywine,

derived from the Dutch

meaning burned wine.

Nothing to do with water.

The correct answer is vodka.

-Vodka means water?

-Oh!

-Oh, OK.

Little water.

Little water? There you go.

That means we can bin that incorrect answer.

We're looking at two answers,

one of which must be correct.

Where would you like to go next?

My only concern about the top one is...

-It's quite wide.

-I think we've got a better

-shot on Paddy Ashdown.

-OK.

-Yeah, yeah.

Let's open the question behind Paddy Ashdown.

I think that's right.

-I'm...

-It's one of the only things I know about him.

-Oh, OK!

-I don't know the date,

but I know he was the leader of the Liberal Democrats.

-Carl, you're going with your good instinct.

-Yeah.

-Let's go with your gut instinct. Let's go with it.

-Yeah.

-OK.

-We think that's right.

-We're going to lock in

Paddy Ashdown as a correct answer.

There it is.

-We can't change our minds on that now.

-No.

But we can have a look at the question behind Drake,

-just to see how it makes you feel.

-Oh...

He wasn't Portuguese. If it's the same Drake.

-Could be a different one.

-No, he was English, wasn't he?

-Yeah, the one I'm thinking of.

-Sir Francis Drake?

-Happy with the choice you've made, then?

-Yeah.

-Yes.

If it's correct, you get another chance to enter

a digit into the code to see if it sticks.

Let's find out.

We hope it's going to go green.

Is Paddy Ashdown the correct answer?

-It is.

-Oh, yes!

Well done.

Carl, your gut instinct...

Yes, your gut instinct.

..was exactly what you needed then.

You are allowed to hug him, Thelma.

There we go. Good.

-Lesley.

-That's right.

Paddy Ashdown was the first leader of the Liberal Democrats.

-Paddy Ashdown, a qualified Mandarin Chinese interpreter.

-No!

Got the certificate in the 1960s.

-Wow!

-Oh!

-There you go. You get added value with Lesley.

-Find out things you didn't know.

-I like it.

As well as the ones you did.

And the Portuguese explorer,

you identified very quickly

that Drake is not Portuguese, but English.

Francis Drake did circumnavigate the world,

but the answer to this question was Ferdinand Magellan.

There we go. Magellan.

We are getting very close now to £6,500.

The only thing that's standing between us is choosing

the right number.

Which one is it going to be?

Oh, shall we go for zero?

-Yeah, let's go for zero.

-Zero.

-Yeah.

-Who's going to go for it?

Yes, I'm the nominated...

-OK. Let's do it.

-OK.

You've chosen the number zero.

If it is the correct number,

then the door will open on £6,500 for you and Carl.

We hope it is. Are you ready?

-Yes, I'm ready.

-Punch in the number zero.

Round and round the numbers spin.

Is it there?

It's got to be there. Come on.

It's not there.

Let's go back and rejoin Carl.

-It's not zero.

-OK.

-But we've only got five numbers left.

It's got to be either four, five, six, eight or nine.

It has to be one of those.

And if we keep answering questions in the way you have, it'll happen.

Here come the next three answers.

Light is very wide.

That could be

lots and lots of things.

Erm...

Madam Butterfly's a more focused answer,

I would say out of them.

It's opera, though.

That your kind of music, Carl.

Not usually.

We could go for sheep.

-Go on, let's go for sheep.

-Go for sheep?

OK, we're going for sheep.

Let's open the question behind sheep.

I love the logic behind this.

Now, I've only got one thing

-I'm going on.

-OK, go for it.

Foghorn Leghorn was a chicken

in the cartoons.

He wasn't a sheep.

I think you're right.

Yes, I think you're right.

So, I think...

Once you said it, I thought,

"I think I've heard of the others."

Yes, yeah.

So take me through this, Carl.

-Based on a cartoon character...

-Yes.

-..that you once saw...

-Yeah.

..you think that leghorn is

the name of a chicken, not a sheep.

Or some sort of bird,

probably a chicken, yeah...

-OK.

-..but not a sheep.

On that basis,

we're going to discard sheep.

We're going to say

that's an incorrect answer.

OK. Let's find out.

Is sheep an incorrect answer?

We want this to go red.

Oh, yes!

Well done! Well done!

Great stuff.

Lesley, is there any truth?

Is Foghorn Leghorn a chicken?

Foghorn Leghorn was a rooster.

That's how to play the game, Carl.

You knew that Foghorn Leghorn

was a rooster and not a sheep,

the answer being chicken.

Well, that's what you have to do

is cling on to any piece

of information you might have

and just go with that.

It means that we could discard

an incorrect answer then, and we are left with two,

one of which must be correct.

Where are we going to go next?

-Do you want to go light?

-Yeah.

Yeah, let's go light.

Let's have a look at the question.

-It's gas, isn't it?

-It's gas.

-Yeah, it's gas.

-So, I...

-It's the pressure of gas, isn't it?

-Yeah. Definitely.

He's Irish. Yay!

Yeah, that's how I remember it.

So it's to do with pressure in gas.

-So that's wrong.

-That's definitely not light.

So light is wrong.

We want this to be

an incorrect answer,

-that's what we're saying?

-Yes.

We can now look at Madam Butterfly

because by definition, it must be correct,

in your opinion.

Does that feel like a correct answer to you?

Yes, that does feel...

I was going to say...

I wasn't 100% sure it was Puccini but...yeah.

OK. So now we want to see light

turn red.

Let's find out.

Yay.

Well done.

-Thank goodness he was Irish.

-Yeah.

-Lesley.

-Absolutely.

Madam Butterfly

the right answer on the board.

The tale of an American lieutenant

and his Japanese bride.

Robert Boyle, born in Ireland.

And you knew that it was a gas law.

It's about the product

of the pressure and volume for a gas

being constant for a fixed amount

of gas at a fixed temperature.

-Which is what I would have said as well.

-Yeah!

-OK. We now have the third chance to enter a digit.

-OK.

We can choose from four, five, six, eight and nine.

Please make it happen.

I picked the last one.

Oh, I don't know. Let's go for four.

Let's go for four.

-Is it going to be you again, Thelma?

-Yes, yes.

Cos it's not worked out brilliantly for you so far.

-Well, actually... Do you want to have a go?

-No.

No!

-OK, we're sticking with you, Thelma.

-We're sticking with me.

-We've chosen the number four.

-Yeah.

-Let's go.

-OK.

£6,500 is waiting for you behind that door.

-If you're ready, Thelma...

-I'm ready.

-..punch in the number four.

-OK.

Round and round the numbers spin.

Third time lucky.

Is it there?

THEY SIGH

Thelma, come on. Let's rejoin Carl.

I mean, eventually, if you keep answering the questions correctly,

we're going to get the right one, and you are playing brilliantly.

Let's see your next three answers.

I've never heard of Hitts Corner.

No, I've never heard

of Hitts Corner either.

-Let's just go for the top one.

-Accountant?

-Yeah, let's go for accountant.

-OK.

We're going to open the question

behind accountant.

Andy Dufresne is Shawshank.

-Are you sure?

-Yeah.

-Positive?

I don't know the other two names.

He could be an accountant,

I don't know.

It is sudden death.

-We have to make a decision...

-Yeah.

..just on this one.

-It makes it really difficult.

-Yeah.

I think he might have been.

-I think...

-I think he might have been.

Yeah, I think...

I'm leaning towards a yes.

-Shall we just go for it?

-Yeah.

We're just going to go for it.

-It's 50-50. It's brutal.

-It's 50-50.

It is brutal, I know. So...

OK.

..it's locked in

as a correct answer.

We want it to turn green.

£6,500 still riding on the outcome of this.

Is accountant the correct answer?

Ah!

OK. Lesley.

Very well done.

The profession of the film characters -

Jonathan Mardukas,

The Duke in Midnight Run.

Andy Dufresne

from The Shawshank Redemption

and Leo Bloom in The Producers.

OK, right.

OK, now we can have a look

at the other two.

Let's have a look behind Hitts Corner.

What was the question there?

And John.

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

Lesley, enlighten us.

David Beckham was born

not in Hitts Corner,

but in Whipps Cross, in Leytonstone,

in East London.

And the most common name

for a president of the USA -

not John, but James.

There you go. Would you have had any chance with those?

I don't think there is a hospital called Hitts Corner,

so I think I probably would have guessed that that one was wrong.

And I think John would have been...

I think that we would probably have...

-Yeah. I thought it was George actually but...

-George?

-Yeah.

-Oh, interesting.

-Well, you certainly opened the right one.

Fantastic combination of skill and judgment and luck.

And it means we have another chance.

There are four digits left there - five, six, eight and nine.

One of them has to be the last remaining digit in the code.

What are we going to go for?

-Well, you did four. Let's go the other end. Let's do nine.

-Nine.

-Nine? Thelma, designated digit pusher.

-That's me.

-Let's do it.

-OK.

You've chosen the number nine.

Are you ready, Thelma?

I'm ready.

-Punch in the number nine.

-OK.

Please don't let's do this again.

Come on.

We're routing for you.

Round it spins.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

That feels like the longest five metres.

Oh, dear, oh, dear.

Four times now, four times we've got as far as the safe

and it hasn't come up in the code, but we are still in the game.

Come on! Let's see your next three answers.

-Rainbow.

-No.

-Oh.

-Bungle.

Oh, OK. I'm not so sure.

Lazarus could be out of the Bible...

-Mullet.

-..or it could be something to do with David Bowie.

I'm going to go with Lazarus.

-OK.

-Lazarus.

-Lazarus.

Let's open the question behind Lazarus.

I...

I don't think that...

That's not what I associate with Lazarus.

No. It's...

Lazarus came back from the dead.

Came back from the dead.

What was special about Lazarus...

I don't know.

-Well, he came back from the dead.

-Yeah, but before that!

Erm, I don't know. That's all I know.

It's all or nothing.

My gut instinct on that one...

-Is no.

-..is that it's wrong.

-Yeah.

Because... Yeah, OK.

No. Let's go no.

It's another gut instinct from Carl.

-It's served you very well in the past.

-Yeah.

We're saying that Lazarus is

-the wrong answer.

-Yeah. Yeah.

-I think so.

-OK.

We want Lazarus to be an incorrect answer...

..which means we can carry on

and try and find the correct answer

in either bungo or mullet.

Come on, we can do this!

Let Lazarus be an incorrect answer.

THEY GROAN

I can't believe it.

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

Lesley.

That's right, Lazarus in

the Gospel of John raised from the dead

exactly as Carl said,

four days after he died,

causing Jesus to weep.

Ah, OK.

Let's have a look at the other questions.

Bungo - maybe that would have been a better choice. Who knows?

Would you have known that?

Oh, Tobermory.

-Ah.

-Yeah.

Lesley, is that right? Tobermory?

Tobermory is right, yes.

Wow. Mullet.

Let's have a look at the question there.

Was that the bob?

-Would you have said the bob?

-I'd have said the bob.

It was the bob.

The mullet,

NOT created by Vidal Sassoon.

So either of those questions

you would have had a fighting chance.

You just chose the one which, unfortunately,

didn't work out for you.

Which number were you going to go for next?

-Five it would have been.

-Number five.

Let's have a look.

Is number five the last remaining digit in the code?

-Ohh!

-So you still would have had

-at least two more questions to get right.

-Yeah, yeah.

I wouldn't have put it past you.

You've played brilliantly, but unfortunately, on this occasion,

you've failed to break the code.

And, Thelma, Carl,

as much as it pains me to say so, we have to say goodbye.

Laughing as they go.

Poor old Thelma and Carl.

It does mean the jackpot now goes up to £7,000 -

as high as it's been this series.

So let's meet the next contestants hoping to crack the code.

Here come the Smiths.

-Good to see you. Hello.

-Hi, there.

-Ashlin, Renee.

-Hello, Matt.

-..and Martin.

-Hi.

-Lovely to have you with us.

-Here from Alton.

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Is that in Hampshire?

-Yes.

And how do you know each other?

I'm working on the basis you're some kind of family grouping.

I didn't have a choice.

You had no choice. I love it.

No. This is my mum and dad.

Oh, OK. Brilliant.

-Are you in education?

-Yeah.

I'm at university in Newcastle and I'm studying mechanical engineering.

And what do you want to do with mechanical engineering?

The ultimate goal is some sort of motor sport, ideally Formula One.

I've loved that since I was about ten when my mum introduced me to it.

-Right. So, Renee, you're a fan as well?

-Yes.

So you're a pair of petrolheads?

Yeah, we go to Silverstone every year to the British Grand Prix.

You see, I've never quite got it.

-Have you not?

-So many people think it's just racing round a track,

but I think once you get into it and you learn about the drivers

and how things work and the tactics and everything,

it just becomes so enthralling, and I just love it.

-So maybe I need to pick a driver, get behind...

-Yeah, yeah.

Lewis Hamilton helped me out a lot!

-Is he your driver? He's the guy for you?

-Oh, yeah.

-And for you, Renee?

-Yeah.

I think he was a great role model for Ashlin as she was growing up.

Good example. So, Martin, there on the end. Are you a Formula One fan?

What do you do with yourself?

Well, I avoid the television on Sundays while the Formula One's on.

-You're not a fan?

-I'm not a fan.

OK. So what do you do? What's your living?

I'm an airline pilot, and I'm flying long-haul routes at the moment,

which is loads of fun - all over the world.

Tell us how you two met.

I'm an ex-air stewardess.

I flew for 32 years and we were both sent to Paris, weren't we,

for a couple of nights, and that's how we met.

How romantic, though. How wonderful.

He's actually driving the plane to take you

for a romantic weekend away.

He brought me and 187 other passengers!

Yeah, forget about them.

Now last time, Thelma and Carl got incredibly close,

after a marathon round,

but they did fail, and that means it's great for you

because another £500 goes into the safe.

The jackpot now goes up to £7,000...

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

That's what we're talking about.

That's a big slice of luck to start with cos that's not down to you,

it's down to all the people that came before you.

Thanks, guys.

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

-Thank you.

The first thing we have to do is reset the code.

Three blanks. We want to fill those with numbers.

When that happens, the safe opens on £7,000.

Let's focus, Smiths. We can do this together.

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

Now remember, only one of them is correct.

That's what you're trying to find.

At this point, you can open all three

answers to reveal the questions.

It doesn't really matter the order you take them in at this stage.

Where are you going to go first?

-Shall we just go top to bottom?

-Yeah, sure.

-There's no real reasoning.

-Yeah, from the top.

Let's do that then. Please open the question behind big.

I think I know this one.

It's Body Mass Index,

so it's not big.

It's not big, so that's...

It's Body Mass Index cos you don't have to be big to have a BMI.

You can have a BMI of 17,

and then you're underweight.

I think it's around 19 or 20

you start going overweight.

So it's not big,

it's Body Mass Index.

-I'm inclined to agree.

-Yeah.

It feels like

we're on strong ground there.

-I think.

-Let's have a look

behind frankfurter, shall we?

I've never heard frankfurter used

-as a pastry reference.

-No.

-Is that a sausage?

-Yeah.

Well, normally it's sausage.

There could be a pastry as well.

There could be.

But the capital city of Germany?

-Berlin?

-Yeah, it's currently Berlin,

so that makes it highly likely

to be incorrect.

So we're hoping for whiskers.

Let's have a look

at the question behind whiskers.

Well, I guess cos whiskers

-pick up vibrations, vibrissae.

-Yeah.

-Hm.

-Like you know when cats...

That's how they judge to go through,

like, tunnels and stuff

cos the whiskers are meant to be

-as big as they are.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

So I think we can rule out

-the others...

-Yeah.

-..and go for whiskers.

-Yeah.

-For me, by process of elimination...

-Yeah.

I can't be sure what vibrissae is...

-But because we think the others aren't it...

-Yeah.

You're happy to lock in

one of those answers?

Yes, indeed.

-Yeah. Lock in whiskers.

-OK.

We're going to lock in whiskers as a correct answer.

If it is correct, you get the chance

to choose one digit from the code.

If it's not,

it's a very quick visit

to the studio,

leaving at Formula One speed.

Oooh!

We don't want that to happen.

We want whiskers to turn green.

Is whiskers the correct answer?

-It is.

-Well done.

Well done.

-You were leading that there, Ashlin.

-Oh, she was.

-What can I say!

-You were on it.

No, that will be my contribution for the rest of the show.

I'm sure that's not the case. Lesley.

It was an excellent contribution.

Whiskers - the technical term for that feature of mammals.

It helps them to judge

where they are.

It's tactile sensing.

BMI - number used as an indicator of the degree of obesity.

You knew that was not big, but body,

so well done there.

And the word which can be a type of pastry

as well as a person from the capital city of Germany.

You immediately said frankfurter, type of sausage,

as well as someone from Frankfurt.

The correct answer is a Berliner.

And Berliner, not only a pastry

and the name for someone from Berlin,

also a format of newspaper.

-Is it?

-Yes.

The Guardian was the first

to go to the Berliner size.

There you go.

The result of all that is that you get to enter a digit into the code

and see if it sticks.

The first one that you've got to choose.

Any ideas which way you're going to go with the numbers?

They're randomly chosen.

Got anything in your head?

-I think maybe you should guess first.

-Ohh.

-OK.

-What do you think?

Yeah, you go ahead and pick a number.

Number three, please.

You're going to choose number three.

The code's made up of three unique numbers.

Is the number three one of them?

Let's find out.

It's not in the first box.

Is it in the second box?

It's not there.

Is it in the third and final box?

-No number three in the code.

-Sorry.

-No worries.

-No, don't be sorry.

This is still a good thing

cos what you've done is eliminate number three.

You've got nine to choose from and you're still playing the game

at the easiest level, where you can see all the questions

-at the same time, so it's a good thing.

-OK.

To make you feel good about it.

Are you ready to see your next answers?

-ALL:

-Yes.

-Let's do it.

END OF GAME KLAXON

-Sadly, that sound means that we have to stop.

-OK.

I'm so sorry, you were just getting motoring,

just starting there, but we've run out of time.

Are you happy to come back and join us tomorrow?

-Yes, indeed.

-Of course, yes.

If there's £7,000 at stake, I'd be more than happy.

You know, you'd be mad not to.

Do be sure to join us next time when Ashlin, Renee and Martin

will return and we'll find out if they have what it takes

to crack the code and win that cash.

It is the biggest jackpot of this series so far, £7,000.

A big thank you to you, Lesley.

You're very welcome.

And thank you to you for watching. Goodbye.
