Episode 9 The Code

Hello and welcome to The Code.

The money inside this safe is now up to £7,000.

All our contestants have to do to open it

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

Each time someone fails, more money is added

so the jackpot goes up and up.

Now, last time, our family from Alton - Ashlin, Renee and Martin -

had picked one number which wasn't in the code

before we ran out of time.

So, let's welcome them back.

-Here they are, the Smiths reformed again for us.

-Hiya.

Good to see you again, Ashlin, Renee and Martin.

-Just to remind ourselves, you're from Alton, in Hampshire.

-Yes.

And you're studying, Ashlin, to be a mechanical engineer?

Yeah, I am, up at Newcastle.

-And hoping to be Lewis Hamilton's right-hand person.

-Yeah!

Renee, formerly a stewardess, also a Formula One fan.

-Yes.

-And Martin, you're a pilot? Flying planes?

-Yes.

Went from engineer to pilot. Not many people do that, do they?

Most people go straight into flying from school or college.

But it was a career path that sort of presented itself to me

as time went on.

Well, good work.

Anyway, you are, Renee and Martin,

you're Ashlin's parents, mum and dad.

And of course, over here in the corner, we have Lesley.

Hello, again.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how far you get

and I hope you open that safe door.

You've done great work so far.

One number down so far.

It's not in the code but you're doing absolutely brilliantly.

-Smiths, are you ready?

-Yes.

-Yes, indeed.

Start your engines. THEY LAUGH

And let's have a look at the next three answers.

Now, remember, only one of them is correct,

that's the one you're

trying to find.

At this point, you can open all three questions to have a look.

Which one do you want to start with first?

Of course, the order at this stage

doesn't matter that much.

Top to bottom worked well last time.

We had that amazing strategy!

-Stick with that?

-It's good.

You're not the first,

I'll tell you that.

We'll start with Walt Disney.

Let's have a look at that question.

That doesn't ring true with me.

-It does to me.

-It does to you? OK.

-It does vaguely to me.

-And I haven't got a clue.

-Shall we move to the next one?

-Yeah, go for it.

Let's reveal the question

behind touch.

Well, this is one I think I know.

I think olfactory is to do with

-smell.

-OK.

-Does that ring a bell?

-Yeah.

-OK.

Let's have a look at

the question behind cod.

Rollmops are herrings,

I'm sure.

Well, now, here's a tricky situation

because you've got doubts

about all three, one of them

has to be right.

Yeah. From somewhere in the back of my mind,

it's just one of those silly

little things you remember.

I thought Walt Disney provided

the voice of Mickey Mouse.

Whether it was from those years

or not, I don't know.

-But I think the other two are wrong.

-We're certain are wrong.

-Yeah.

So, on that basis, which one

-would you like to go for?

-SHE LAUGHS

Renee in control.

-Always!

-I'm sure the

correct one is Walt Disney.

-You want to block that in?

-Would you

-agree?

-Yeah, go for it.

-Yeah? OK.

The committee says...

THEY LAUGH

..Walt Disney is a correct answer.

If it is correct,

you get to choose another digit to put into the code.

If it isn't, then I'm afraid

you're on your way home.

We want this to go green.

Is Walt Disney our correct answer?

Fantastic, well done.

Renee puts her foot down

and it pays dividends.

-Lesley?

-That's right.

Martin said no, Renee said yes.

And Renee got that with Walt Disney providing the voice.

Until he had to stop in 1947, supposedly because he was smoking

and couldn't hit the high notes required to do the voice any more.

Right.

The olfactory nerve, related to,

exactly as Martin said,

smell rather than touch.

It's the trigeminal nerve that is associated with touch.

And rollmops,

snack of rolled fish.

You knew this, Renee, you knew immediately that was herring.

Thank you, Lesley.

Got to love a rollmop.

Good stuff.

What it does is it gives you the chance to choose another number.

Three is down, there are nine others left. Which one is it going to be?

-Number eight, please.

-Number eight. Is number eight in the code?

Is it in the first box?

No. Is it in the second box?

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

There is no number eight in the code.

There's an advantage to this.

As we're seeing as we're playing more and more,

it doesn't do you any harm at all to eliminate some numbers

before the game gets really hard.

-Are you ready to see your next three answers?

-Yes.

Good stuff, Smiths. Let's have a look.

Well, shall we stick with the previous method

and go from top to bottom

-again, please?

-Top to bottom.

In my mind, I've heard of Oxford being the city of dreaming spires

but the only question I have is

whether it was the Victorian poet Matthew Arnold who called it that.

-Oh, OK.

-OK.

Maybe it's a good time

to open another question.

-Yeah, definitely.

-Let's see.

Let's have a look behind Highway To Hell, shall we?

This would be your kind of music, wasn't it, Dad? Sorry to be...

I didn't intentionally,

unintentionally put pressure on.

I know what you mean, old guy music.

That's what you're

-trying to say, Ashlin.

-No!

What I'm thinking, it sounds like an AC/DC album.

Mm-hm.

I don't know for certain

whether Back Into Hell

and The Monster Is Loose

were sequels to that album.

Shall we have a look at the

-last question?

-Yes.

-For Mr Bounce.

-Mr Bump?

-Yeah, I was about to say it's not Mr Bounce, it's Mr Bump.

-He always has accidents, yeah.

-So we think?

It's not Mr, that one is probably the only one that we can

-definitely eliminate.

-So, the bottom answer is not the correct.

No, that's Mr Bump.

I would say that it's a toss-up

between the first and second

of the two and my gut feeling is the Oxford being the correct...

-I prefer Oxford.

-Shall we lock it in?

-Yeah, let's lock in Oxford.

We're going to lock in Oxford

as the correct answer.

If it is the correct answer,

you get to choose another digit to put into the code.

Is Oxford our correct answer?

Well done. THEY LAUGH

I thought it had maybe broken

and it wasn't going to come up.

That was the longest!

It's working perfectly and it's

chosen your answer as correct.

-Well done, Dad.

-Lesley? HE SIGHS

Yes, phew!

Yes, Oxford the city of dreaming spires

and Matthew Arnold wrote that

in his 1886 poem Thyrsis.

The bestselling 1977 album,

Martin, you knew straight away that Highway To Hell is AC/DC.

This was Bat Out Of Hell

by Meatloaf.

And in the Mr Men books, the character who is blue

and wrapped in white bandages, well, you knew this straight away.

It's Mr Bump. Mr Bounce is yellow.

-Oh, OK.

-Right.

-So, fantastic.

Thank you, Lesley. Combination of old guy music

-and little kid books!

-Yeah!

Actually got us there in the end.

It gives you the chance to choose another digit to put into the code.

Which one's it going to be next?

-Your turn?

-Er, I'll go in the middle with number five, please.

Number five. Is the number five in the code? Is it in the first box?

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

It's not there. Is five in the third and final box?

-Well, we're narrowing it down.

-Yeah, there's a pattern emerging!

Yeah, you're certainly eliminating numbers.

And as I said, that's good, that's positive.

Let's see your next three answers.

-Top to bottom again, please.

-OK. You are calling it, Ashlin.

Top to bottom.

In registration plates, is it UK?

No, because that's the UK.

-That's UK.

-No. Shall we go to the next one?

-Yes, I think so.

Let's have a look at the question

behind Laika.

-I quite like that one.

-Erm, yeah.

The first, the dog that went into orbit was called Laika.

But was it the first animal?

-Did they send monkeys at all?

-Hmm.

There's a few variables

in there, isn't there?

-OK, shall we go for the next one?

-Yeah, let's look at the last one.

Let's have a look at

the question behind Harry Kane.

-Who does he play for?

-Spurs.

-To my mind, there's three unknowns there.

-Yeah.

How are you going to find

your way through that?

Out of all three,

we know something about Laika.

We know that it was a dog

that went into space.

Shall we just do it?

-Shall we do it?

-Yes.

-Let's do it.

-That's the one we're going to lock in?

-Ah!

-Yeah.

OK, let's lock in Laika

as our correct answer.

If it is correct,

you get to choose another digit, the fourth one,

to try in the code.

Is it correct?

Go green!

-It is.

-OK, well done.

-Well done!

-Well done, you two.

-Well done.

You pieced it together. Lesley?

Absolutely pieced it together with

knowledge from all three of you.

Renee knew that Laika was a dog that went into orbit.

Ashlin, you remembered that monkeys went into space.

-They went into space but not into orbit.

-Ah.

-Orbit!

And the internet, the two letters

which domain names from the Ukraine end with, not UR.

There is no domain name UR. The answer is UA.

-ASHLIN:

-Oh, OK.

And the Premier League's top goal-scorer in '14 to '15,

it's Sergio Aguero.

Oh, for goodness' sake. Of course!

-There we go, Aguero.

-Man City?

-Yes.

It was in the end. Well done, great teamwork.

We want to keep playing that way.

But for now, we have to concentrate on numbers. So far, three numbers.

None of them in the code. Let's pick another one.

-Take your pick.

-Oh, number one.

OK, we're going to put number one into the code, see if it sticks.

Is it in the first box?

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

It's not in the second box! Is it in the third box?

-It is!

-Ah.

-I don't know if I'm happy about that or not?

Well, you know, you should be happy. You should be happy about it.

Eventually, you've got to start picking the right code numbers.

But it does mean that the game moves to the next level

and it gets a little bit harder.

As before, you see three answers.

But now you can only see the questions behind two of them

before you have to commit.

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

Elbow is obviously a part of your body

but there's also Elbow the band,

who I know you listen,

or at least you know that he does that,

the lead singer does a radio show.

-Radio 5, maybe.

-I'm not sure.

-Radio 6.

But something.

Diane Abbott was an MP?

-She is an MP.

-She's a shadow cabinet member, I think.

-Right.

-I think she's a favourite of Jeremy Corbyn.

-OK.

-I think.

-Shall we go from the top again?

-Yeah.

-Start with the top one.

-OK?

-Yes.

-Now, Dad loves Monty Python.

-Yeah.

Well,

The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner,

I think he had an albatross tied

-around his neck.

-Oh, of course.

An albatross was mentioned by the

Monty Python team in a sketch.

They were selling albatross.

-It's like a snack-seller selling albatross.

-OK.

Before we have to make

a decision about that,

we can open one of the others.

Where do you want to go next?

Shall we go for Elbow because politics is not our thing, really?

OK, let's try that one.

Let's open the question behind Elbow.

-The kneecap.

-Kneecap.

-Kneecap? Yes!

-Whoohoo!

-You certain about that?

-Yes.

-Mother and daughter united there.

-The kneecap it is.

Right, we need to reject

one of those two, either vulture or elbow?

So we can have a look

at the question behind Diane Abbott.

Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, if you think about it, Mariner is ocean.

-Why would a vulture be anywhere near there?

-Yeah, true.

An albatross would make more sense

and you think albatross is also the cinema snack.

-Yeah, so that one must be an incorrect.

-We hope.

-But we know that patella is your kneecap.

-Yeah, but...

So why don't we just get rid of it?

Why don't we just do that one then?

You're in a strong position.

If you feel that strongly,

you can go for either.

-We'll get rid of the elbow.

-OK, it's fine.

We're going to lose elbow.

You'll give me the elbow.

You're happy to give elbow the elbow. Right.

OK, in that case, we think that that

is an incorrect answer,

we want it to turn red.

It means we can play on, we can see what's behind Diane Abbott.

It is,

-well done.

-Phew!

-Great work. Lesley?

-Absolutely.

Also, you took it in turns to say, "Kneecap, kneecap, kneecap."

In the elbow, the bones are the humerus,

the radius and the ulna.

Great stuff, thank you, Lesley.

It means we can discard, we can bin that incorrect answer.

And we can see the question behind Diane Abbott.

-I can believe that.

-Yeah.

-Yeah, that's perfectly plausible, isn't it?

-Yeah.

And I think on the basis that the answer to question one is albatross!

-Yeah.

-You want to lock that in?

Are you confident about that?

-Yeah.

-Everybody happy?

-Yeah.

-Unanimous verdict.

We're going to put down Diane Abbott

as a correct answer.

That's locked in.

We want that to be the correct answer

and we want you to have the chance to put another number into the code.

Fantastic. It is correct.

Diane Abbott. Lesley?

You are correct with Diane Abbott there - the first black woman

to be elected as an MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington.

Martin, you mentioned when you were discussing her earlier

that she's in the shadow cabinet.

Exactly, she is the Shadow Secretary of State

-for International Development.

-Ah, yes.

And the bird that connects the Rime Of The Ancient Mariner

with the cinema snack, again Martin, you knew both parts of this.

You remembered that The Rime of The Ancient Mariner features

an albatross and in the Monty Python sketch, Terry Jones is desperately

trying to buy a choc-ice but all they sell are albatrosses.

Great work. Thank you, Lesley.

It gives you the chance to choose another digit

to enter into the code.

There are six left. Which one are we going to go for?

-You have a go.

-I'll go for zero, please.

-Zero.

Is zero in the code?

It's not in the first box.

It's not in the second box.

-We've still got just one digit in the code. Are you ready?

-Yes.

Let's see our next three answers.

-Oh, I know the bottom one.

-HE LAUGHS

Do you? Right.

How about Charles II?

-History question?

-Yes.

-History a strong point?

-Yes.

It may be, history may be a strong point.

Maybe we'll find out when we look

-at the question.

-We're

about to find out, yes.

Let's have a look at the question behind Charles II.

OK, Great Fire Of London. Well, Great Plague,

1665.

-Great Fire, 1666.

-1666.

-Yeah.

-And neither were Charles, were they?

Charles II was restored to the throne in 1660.

Samuel Pepys wrote all

the diaries relating to that.

And he stayed on the throne

until 1685...or 1688.

Martin, have you taught history at some point?

Because this is...

This is really impressive!

-It might be all wrong, though.

-HE LAUGHS

It's sounding very impressive.

-It sounds confident.

-Without

anybody to contradict you,

it sounds really good.

Well, he's restored

when the Cromwells are finished

and he dies just before we have...

We've got the Sedgemoor campaign

and then we've got William III

coming back, which is the late 1680s.

So, I think he's going to be on the throne

at the time of the Fire,

which I believe was 1666.

You still get to open

one more question there.

Either way, however you feel about it,

have a look.

-52,181 could be an answer to many questions.

-Oh, so many.

-So, would we be better off?

-Probably better off with McDonald.

-Yes.

-Just to give ourselves a fighting chance.

-Shall we choose that one?

-Yes.

-Think we could do that?

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

-Well, I heard you smile!

-Who do you think it is?

It was Ross and Norris McWhirter.

-McWhirter.

-There was a television

-programme on when we were young, Record Breakers.

-Yeah.

I remember they were great founts of knowledge.

We need to discard one of those to be able to see the question

behind 52,181.

-Well, I'm...

-I'm more than happy to get rid of that.

I'm 99% sure that the top answer relates directly to the question.

-Mm-hm, and the second one looks wrong.

-Second one looks wrong to me.

OK, that's the one we're choosing to

-discard?

-Discard the middle?

-Yes.

And we're going to discard McDonald

as an incorrect answer.

If it is incorrect, we get to play on.

If it isn't, that's it.

Brutal, sudden death.

We're out of here.

Is McDonald an incorrect answer? We want to see it turn red.

-Well done.

-OK.

-Good stuff.

-Lesley?

-That might help.

-Yes, correct.

Renee, you knew that the McWhirters, Norris and Ross,

were responsible for the first Guinness Book Of Records.

Still going every year today.

OK, thank you, Lesley.

That means that we can discard that incorrect answer,

let's get rid of that.

And the correct answer must be

one of those two,

the one you've already looked at, and 52,181.

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

Every four years makes it 25 lots of leap years.

-This is 25 lots of one extra day.

-Seven days.

-No, one extra day per leap year?

-Oh, sorry.

-Yeah.

-Right, if there's 52 weeks in a year.

-Yeah.

-And there's 100 years.

-Yes.

-52 x 100.

-Oh, God, it's 5,200.

-5,200, plus...

You can tell my degree's going really well?

-I'm sure they let you take a calculator in.

-Ugh!

But not on this occasion.

-We have to pick one of those as the correct answer.

-Right.

-I'm sorry.

You were so confident about the first one

and now that you pointed out what 52 x 100 is, it's really obvious.

-Shall I play the anorak card and go for the top answer?

-Yeah.

-OK?

We're going to lock in Charles II as the correct answer.

-Is that right?

-Yeah.

Let's do it, OK.

If it is the correct answer,

you get to choose another digit to put into the code.

Let's see, is Charles II our correct answer?

It is, well done.

-Martin!

-Phew!

-Absolutely brilliant. Lesley?

-Yeah, well done.

-Absolutely right, Martin.

You gave us a brilliant lecture on...

Absolutely everything, everything you said was right,

right down to William III taking the throne in 1689,

which wasn't even important for the question.

Charles II the right answer there.

And then to the nearest whole number,

how many weeks are there every 100 years?

We say assuming there is a leap year every four years

because there isn't always.

The way to work this out, you have 365 days in most years,

times the 100 years.

Add to those the 25 leap days, which Ashlin,

you worked out would be required.

Divide all that by seven and the closest whole number is 5,218.

I'm glad you had to work that out, Lesley, and not me.

Well done, thank you very much.

OK, it means that we have a correct answer.

That buys us the chance once again to choose another digit.

What is it going to be?

-Let's try number seven, please.

-Number seven.

£7,000 in the safe.

Is the number seven in the code that will release it.

Is it in the first box?

-It is!

-Oh!

Wow, OK. This is starting to get very serious now.

This is the next level of the game and things are going to get

really quite difficult because you can only open

one question at a time.

And then you have to make a decision, you have to commit.

Let's see your next three answers.

-There wasn't a dog reality show?

-No.

-Pudsey is the bear, it's not Pugsley.

-OK.

The one that won

-Britain's Got Talent.

-Yeah.

It wasn't called Pugsley is all I remember.

So we know Damon Albarn is the lead

singer of a group. Can't remember.

Was it Blur?

-NHS.

-NHS, who founded the NHS?

And when?

So we're talking back

in the '30s, '20s.

-Was it Bevan?

-Nye Bevan.

Got to choose one of those.

Right, which one of those

do we think we don't,

we are unlikely to know whether the

question is relating to the answer?

I think go for Damon Albarn because

you guys seem to know a bit about...

-Well, more than we know about Pugsley or the NHS.

-OK.

-Yeah?

-We're going for Damon Albarn.

-Yeah.

Let's reveal the question behind Damon Albarn.

I have no recollection of Damon Albarn being

high enough profile to have...

-..been headline act two years in a row.

-Not only once, but twice.

And with different bands as well.

It's quite an odd person to choose.

-My inclination is to discard.

-Yeah.

But I doubt that we're going

to say yes to that, are we?

-No, we can't say a positive yes.

-So?

-No. Discard that one.

Yeah, discard Damon Albarn.

You want to discard that one as incorrect.

We want this to go red,

we want this to be an incorrect answer.

Oh!

-Yeah, like I said.

-I am so sorry.

You were dealing with something you couldn't really know.

It wasn't there in your knowledge

but you were doing your best to piece it together.

OK, Lesley.

-Put us out of our misery.

-I'm so sorry.

Damon Albarn was at Glastonbury in 2009 with Blur

and 2010 with Gorillaz.

-Gorillaz.

-Ah, right.

OK, let's have a look at the other questions,

firstly behind the NHS,

see if that would have helped you any more.

What, would you have an known

-that?

-The railways.

-Railways.

It was indeed the railways,

the Beeching Acts leading to the cut of lots of stations.

And finally, Pugsley, which you

thought you knew nothing about,

let's hope that's the case.

Let's have a look at that question.

-Do you know the answer to that?

-No.

-Would you have known it wasn't Pugsley?

-I wouldn't have known.

-Was it the daughter?

-Yeah.

Well, I'm so sorry.

Who was it that Christina Ricci played?

It was Wednesday Addams.

-Wednesday!

-Wednesday Addams,

that is just the luck of the draw, guys.

You've played absolutely brilliantly.

Shall we see what the remaining number was in the code?

What would you have gone for next? You only had four left.

What do you think you would have chosen next?

If it would have been me, I would have gone for six, probably.

-Number six. Was it?

-I would have gone for nine.

-You would have gone for nine?

-Yeah.

OK, let's see who would have been right. Either of you.

It was a nine.

-It would have gone...

-So, if only you won that argument.

It doesn't matter, doesn't matter.

You could have been walking away with £7,000.

Guys, you played brilliantly. We're so glad to have had you with us.

-Thank you, it's been a great time.

-Oh, thanks for saying that.

-But I feel terrible!

-No, don't.

I'm afraid to say, Smiths, you've failed to break the code.

And as a result, we have to say goodbye.

Thank you.

Oh, I thought they were there, I thought they were there.

But they're not and that means the jackpot goes up again,

this time to £7,500.

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

-They are welcome. Welcome, David.

-Hi.

-Nice to meet you. And Neil?

-Hi.

-How are you?

-Fine, thank you.

-Now, you're both from Bolton.

-We are, yes.

-And you're mates, you're friends?

-Yes, mates.

-Tell us how you met each other.

-We worked in a pie factory together.

-Take a look.

-I didn't eat all of them but...

THEY LAUGH

-You left a few around.

-Yeah, a couple, yeah.

-So what do you do now?

At some point, you had to drag yourself away from the pie factory,

clearly, because otherwise it was going to end in tears.

-What do you do now, David?

-I'm actually a househusband.

-Right.

Yeah, my wife took a career path when we had two young children.

-But they're getting older now.

-Right, so they're going to move on.

-Yeah, my daughter's in uni, in London now.

-Really?

-You don't need to be a househusband any more?

-No.

-What are you going to do?

-We've got a little dog.

-That's not a job though, is it?

-It feels like it.

-You've not met his dog.

-It's almost full-time.

-I do a bit of writing.

-OK.

-Bit of writing and we run a pub quiz.

-OK, so you're in the right place.

-We hope so.

-Well, let's hope so.

Neil, how about you? What do you do?

I'm just, I currently just work in a call centre.

-Taking claims over the phone.

-Taking claims, what? Insurance claims?

No, no, it's for personal independence payment.

-Which is taking over from disability living allowance.

-OK, right.

So you're there, people sometimes in their hour of need

-calling you and trying to get sorted out.

-Yeah, pretty much.

OK. Anyway, listen. You're in a very good position,

because the Smith family who have just left, they've failed.

So that means another £500 goes into the safe.

You are staring at a jackpot of £7,500.

-Wow.

-It's great.

-It's our biggest jackpot this series.

-Wow.

-Fantastic.

What would that mean to you? What would you guys do with this?

Holidays.

Yeah, holidays, DIY around the house. Not myself.

My daughter lives away from home now so it's helps to see her more often.

-Take her a pie.

-I'll take her many.

-Take her a couple of pies?

-Yes!

Listen, we wish you the very, very best.

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

Three blanks that we want to make into three numbers

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

At this point, you can open all three answers

to reveal the questions.

The order, it's pretty

academic at this point,

it doesn't matter too much.

Which one do you want to go for first?

-Shall we work down?

-Yeah, why not?

-Shall we start with China?

-China.

-Many do.

-Yeah, I think.

-Australia has got quite a few, obviously.

-Australia's got a few, Russia has got quite a few.

-Yeah.

Erm, somewhere like China.

I do think it is possible they currently have the one.

-It's possible, I don't know.

-It's possible.

-It's possible at the moment.

-Well, we don't have to decide yet.

We can look at the other questions as well.

-Shall we go for beef next?

-Yes.

It's not that one, is it?

Obviously it's turkey,

it's like our Christmas.

I think that's a definite no,

I'm pretty sure about that one.

-Get rid of that.

-Pretty sure on that one.

Let's have a look at the last question.

-I'd say run out.

-You would say run out?

-More than being caught.

Run out is, that's the one that jumps out at me because...

More often. Yeah, knocked out of the wickets and run out.

Are they caught more often?

It's definitely not beef, definitely not that.

Yeah, it's tricky though because it could be, I'm not sure on China

and I'm not sure on cricket.

-In your heads, are you balancing those two, do you think?

-Definitely.

-Yeah, yeah. Definitely balancing them two.

-You ever been to China?

-No, no.

-Have you ever been run out?

-Yes.

-THEY LAUGH

With these legs!

-With these legs!

-I don't do much running.

It wasn't going to be LBW, was it?

Right. OK, we've got to try and make a decision here, then.

Lock one of these in

as a correct answer.

I'm not 100% sure on China or run out. I think China is so big.

I think China is big

but knowing what the Chinese

-government's like as well.

-China?

-Shall we?

-Can do. Yep, China.

OK, we're going to lock in China

as our correct answer.

If it is the correct answer,

it means we get to choose a digit

to put into the code, see if it sticks. If it isn't,

lovely though it is

to have you here,

it might not be for very long.

-That's true.

-Let's find out.

Is China the correct answer? Be green!

-Come on!

-Yes!

-Oh!

HE LAUGHS

It feels like you've won the money!

This is one question. We've only answered one question!

Anyway, thank you very much.

-Yeah!

-Lovely to meet you, Matt!

THEY LAUGH

Oh. Lesley? SHE LAUGHS

I am so relieved!

China is the largest country in the world

with only one official time zone.

The Communist Party decided that it would promote national unity

if they all ran from Beijing time.

The meat which is served as part of a traditional Thanksgiving meal,

exactly as you said, that is a turkey.

I think you were very unlucky, David, to have been run out

-because it doesn't happen very often.

-Does it not? Crikey.

-The correct answer is caught.

-Ah, caught.

Caught's the most common, then

bowled, then LBW and then run out.

Thank you very much.

The exciting bit is that

you now get to choose one number from the keypad

to enter into the code.

-Which one are you going to go for?

-How about lucky number seven?

-If that's what you want, David.

-Better be lucky after that!

Here we go, is number seven in the first box of the code?

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

No. Is it in the final box?

-It is!

-Excellent. Nice one.

Right, that means you're now on to the next level of the game

where things do get a bit harder.

It means you do see three answers, as before.

But you can only see two questions behind those answers

before you have to commit.

OK? It is trickier.

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

-Right.

-Colosseum. Rome.

Colosseum, you've got Rome.

It does start to be more important which one you choose first now.

Yeah. Sisters Of Mercy,

-obviously you've got the band.

-Yes.

-Um, calcium.

-Bones.

What are you tempted

for for the first one, then?

-You've been to Rome.

-I have been to

-Rome, you've been to Rome.

-I've not.

-Haven't you?

-I've not, no.

Do you want to pick Colosseum

-as your first question?

-Yes.

-Shall we have a look at the Colosseum?

-OK, let's reveal

the question behind Colosseum.

Right. Well, it wasn't just chariot racing.

It was also used for all the fights

and the battles,

gladiatorial things.

For 600 metres,

you've got chariots in there,

it needs to be bigger than that.

I'm just not sure on the chariots

-because it did tend to be more gladiatorial.

-Gladiator fights, yes.

OK, shall we choose another question

to reveal? That might help you.

Calcium? Can I go calcium?

Yeah, if you want.

Oh, we've picked the right one

there, I think.

It's calcium, isn't it?

I'm pretty confident on calcium.

-Yeah, do you want to reject Colosseum?

-Yes, reject Colosseum.

We want to reject Colosseum

as an incorrect answer.

-Yeah.

-OK.

We want that to turn red to give us

the chance to see the question behind Sisters Of Mercy and play on.

If it is correct,

then great disappointment,

-we're on our way home to Bolton.

-Yes.

Colosseum, is it an incorrect answer?

-Yes!

-Good work.

-Good work.

-I'm glad that's gone.

-Like the way you're playing. Lesley?

-Wow.

Yes, good decision.

Mainly used for chariot racing, the entertainment venue in ancient Rome

not the Colosseum but the Circus Maximus.

-Prominent in the film Ben-Hur.

-Yeah.

Right, well done, guys. That means

we can get rid of that incorrect answer,

leaves you with two,

one of which must be correct

and we can have a look at the question behind Sisters Of Mercy.

-That would be Scissor Sisters, not Sisters Of Mercy.

-Absolutely.

It's close, though, it's a good play on words.

-It is a good play on words.

-Well, you seem very confident about it.

That means by definition,

you're saying calcium must be the correct answer there.

Yeah, got to be.

-From the two, the only remaining one that could be.

-Definitely.

You want to lock that in

-as a correct answer.

-Yes, please.

If it is correct, it turns green.

You get to choose another number.

Is calcium the correct answer?

-It is!

-Yes.

-That was a bit easier, that one.

-THEY LAUGH

Fantastic!

You seem to have decided on that one.

It's amazing, I'm quite lacking in calcium. So that...

THEY LAUGH

OK, Lesley. Calcium, correct.

Well done, David is on form

and calcium is the silvery-white metal coming from the Latin calcis

referring to lime, the building material.

And Ana Matronic, the only female member not of Sisters Of Mercy,

the correct answer, as you said, Scissor Sisters.

-Scissor Sisters indeed.

-Fantastic.

Good deduction there and great knowledge as well.

That means you get another chance to choose a number.

-Fantastic record so far, 100% record.

-It's good.

It's good, yeah.

David, are we going to stick with you choosing the numbers?

-Are you happy with that?

-Yeah. I'm happy with that.

-I think I'm going to go zero.

-OK.

The odds of choosing two correct numbers in a

row are pretty astronomical.

Let's see if zero is in your code.

Are you there in the first box?

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

-Oh!

-What are you playing at?

-I don't know what happened.

-What a letdown.

It's all going pear-shaped!

-OK, are you ready now to see your next three answers?

-Yes.

Brilliant, here we go.

Oh, wow.

OK, so obviously Friday, you've got the day of the week,

you've got the film, Friday, with Ice Cube.

Yeah, Long Good Friday as well.

-You like your cheese though, don't you?

-I do like my cheese.

He is a cheese fan. So I reckon you'd probably know your cheeses.

-Well, we'll find out, won't we?

-Shall we do cheese?

-Let's do cheese.

-Let's go cheese.

-Let's go cheese.

Reveal the question behind cheese.

-That's bread.

-Pumpernickel's a bread.

-It's a bread.

Yeah, bread is pumpernickel.

We get to see another question

before you have to commit

to one or the other.

-Yeah.

-Would you like to choose for us?

-Would you like to choose?

-I can't, unfortunately.

-Aw!

It's a conflict of interests,

that's what they call it.

-Friday or 180.

-Friday!

-Shall we go Friday?

-Go Friday.

-Friday is a good day.

-OK.

-Do you know your French?

-I don't.

I did it at school. But I don't know.

I think what we need to do, we'll eliminate cheese and look at 180.

We need to get rid of cheese, yes.

You can do that, if you're not confident,

eliminate one that you think is wrong and then we can move on.

I am so glad that that is the...

I think that is, yeah, we can eliminate cheese.

We're going to eliminate cheese.

We want it to turn red

which gives David and Neil

the chance to move on and see what's behind 180.

It is.

Good work. Lesley?

That's right, you knew that

pumpernickel is a bread.

-That's the correct answer, it's a dark sourdough rye bread.

-Magic.

Your love of cheese has served you very well.

It's nice with cheese.

-Yeah, it is!

-I'm sure it's delicious.

But we have to get rid of it

because it's incorrect.

So, there it goes and it leaves us now with 180.

Let's reveal the question behind that answer.

Bed and breakfast?

Could be. But I only think of 180 being, they say it's a maximum.

While you're doing the pub quiz,

is anyone in the background playing darts?

No, because we sit just under the dartboard.

-It'd be a bit dangerous, that.

-I think they'd like to.

They'd like to do, yeah.

You've got two that you really don't feel confident about.

No, not at all. I think Friday, though, is a V.

-Friday is a V, I'm sure it is.

-I think it's a V.

-I'm leaning towards Friday.

-I am.

Only one of them can be right.

-I've got a feeling it's Friday.

-I agree, I think it's V. It's verdi.

-OK.

-Or something very near, something like that.

-Veredi, yeah.

Do you want to lock in Friday as the correct answer?

-Yes.

-Yeah.

Let's do it, let's lock in

Friday as a correct answer.

That's the one we want to come up green.

OK, if it is, you get another chance to enter a digit into the code

and see what sticks.

Is Friday the correct answer?

-Well done.

-Yes.

-Yes!

-Well done!

Oh, my goodness!

Lesley, what a combination there of inspired guesswork

and little bits of knowledge.

You're amazed!

I'm relieved, I'm just so pleased you managed

to puzzle your way through that.

I think instinctively you knew or remembered from school

that there was a V involved in Friday in the French word.

-The correct answer is vendredi.

-Vendredi, right.

I think it's our northern accents, we said that.

-Yeah, we did see that.

-You said that?

-Yeah.

-It's understandable.

-And you got the right result.

Yes, thank you.

And in darts, the score

with three darts nicknamed bed and breakfast.

Not 180 but 26, from two and six, which in times gone by,

two shillings and sixpence, the price for a bed and breakfast.

Is it now?

Wow. Well, there you go.

-I had no idea!

-No.

-And really, neither did you.

-No!

But it doesn't matter

because you scraped your way to the correct answer there

and that buys you the right to enter in on the keypad another digit.

See if it's there in the code.

-Are we still going to go with you, David?

-I knew it, though.

-As soon as he looked at me.

-The pressure's off.

-It's now Neil's turn, is it? Right, Neil.

-OK.

We were discussing a couple of numbers before, weren't we?

You did say seven, we did say another, we both said three.

-So we'll go for three.

-Is three there are in your code?

Is it in the first box?

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

It isn't in the second box but don't worry,

because you've still eliminated three from your enquiries.

You've only got seven numbers left to try and fit into your code

and somehow you're clawing your way to answering all of these questions

really quite brilliantly as a team and that's what we love to see.

KLAXON BLARES

And that sound means we have run out of time.

But David and Neil, you know you're well on your way to £7,500.

And, you know, what I like is you're doing it in your own style.

-Thank you.

-We like to try.

You're going to join us again tomorrow?

-Can't wait.

-You'd be mad not to.

Lesley, they're doing brilliantly, aren't they?

Doing really well, one number already locked in.

Let's try for two tomorrow.

And join us tomorrow when we'll find out if David and Neil

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

Thanks for watching. Bye-bye.
