Episode 11 The Code

Hello and welcome to The Code.

Locked in this safe is £6,000.

To open the safe and win the money,

contestants just need to crack a three-digit code.

But, every time someone fails, more money goes into the safe and

the jackpot gets higher and higher.

Last time, pilot Paul was going great guns and found one number,

the number 6, before we ran out of time.

So, let's welcome him back.

Guiding you in, Paul. Sorry. It's obvious, isn't it?

How are you, Paul?

-Very well, thank you. How are you?

-Good to see you back.

Have you spent the time in between the shows cramming wildly?

-Of course.

-Of course. We know you're an airline pilot.

-Correct.

-Are you long haul or short haul?

Long haul, I've always flown long haul.

I'm in my 28th year as a long haul pilot now

-and I love every single minute of it.

-You are Long Haul Paul.

Long Haul Paul. I've not heard that before.

OK, well, there's a first time for everything!

-And crosswords, I know, are a big part of your life as well.

-Indeed.

I absolutely love the cryptic crossword. Yes.

Paul, it's fantastic having you on the show.

Before we get cracking, though, let's reintroduce our

mistress of quiz, Lesley Brewis. How are you, Lesley?

I'm very well, thank you, and welcome back to the show, Paul.

And pilots need to be very precise,

very calculating and what I liked about your play last time was

that you examined every element of every question to help you to

settle on the correct question-and-answer pair.

-Keep up the good work.

-Thank you.

-Let's remind ourselves where we are.

There, in the middle of your code, the number 6 sitting proudly, and

on the keypad we can see that 1, 3 and 0 have all gone.

That means we have six digits left.

If you answer six questions correctly, then, Paul,

it's very straightforward. You will be taking home the jackpot today.

Now, we are at the stage where things become a little bit trickier.

Now, as before, we will see three answers, but

we'll only see two questions before you have to decide, Paul,

-which one is the correct answer. Is that clear?

-It is, yes.

-Got it.

OK. Let's crack on, then, and see your next three answers.

Of course, at this stage, it becomes

much more important which order you

choose to see those questions in.

OK, I might live to regret this, but

I think I might see Bagpuss first.

Let's have a look at the

question behind Bagpuss.

Since Bagpuss was more or less my kind of era when I was a kid,

I think it was before 1981.

Ken Barrie, the name rings a bell but I can't think what he did.

I don't think it's him.

OK. Well, we don't have to decide just yet,

we can choose one of the other two.

Amethyst, well...

And Nick Easter, I think I know who Nick Easter is.

I'm going to go with amethyst for the simple reason that I'm

-not sure what you can ask about that, either.

-OK.

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

Not intoxicated... There has to be

one, obviously, that is like that.

It's probably going to begin

with an A, isn't it?

Because I think, in Greek words, you

have, like, AM, A-M, is "without",

if I remember correctly. I think I'm

definitely dismissing Bagpuss.

Do you know what?

I'm talking myself into that.

The "A" bit, I think is Greek for

"it's not something."

I always thought it was "Ana-",

but it might just be the "A" bit.

And the "methy,"

the methylated spirit, I'm not

sure why methylated comes in but

that's kind of the

idea of an alcohol.

So, not alcohol, not intoxicated,

I think, as a deduction,

I think I might have to go for that

-as being the correct answer.

-OK.

We're going to lock in amethyst as

our correct answer.

It's locked in.

That means we can have a look at

the question behind Nick Easter

and I hope it makes you feel better.

-Oh, I hope so too.

-Here we go.

Would not have a clue, I'm afraid.

Rugby is something I know

absolutely nothing about.

OK, so that doesn't make you feel

one way or the other.

-I'm afraid not.

-OK.

You've locked in amethyst

as your correct answer,

and that is the one we want to see

turn green, not red.

Is amethyst our correct answer?

-Wow.

-Well done.

That felt to me, Lesley, like a terrific piece of deduction.

It really was. Amethyst - coming, exactly as you suggested, from

"A" meaning "not", and "Methystos" meaning intoxicated.

So, you got there in the end with excellent reasoning.

Let's look at the wrong answers.

Bagpuss is from 1974, so a little bit earlier than the correct

answer, which is Postman Pat.

Ken Barrie known not only as Postman Pat but also for singing the

theme tune to TV programmes such as Charlie Chalk.

Nick Easter is currently the coach of the Harlequins,

the correct answer is Ben Ryan.

Ben Ryan also coached England Sevens team.

-Very, very well done. Excellent work.

-Thank you.

Thank you, Lesley. Yeah, Paul, you picked that apart just like

a cryptic crossword clue in reverse, anyway, didn't you?

And, now, we're at the stage where we get to choose another number

to see if it's there in our code.

6 is already up there. 1, 3 and 0, we've discounted.

Which one is it going to be next?

Well, let's flip 6 on its head and pair it up with number 9, please.

Number 9. Is 9 there in our code?

Is it there in our first box?

It's not.

Is it there in our third and final box?

No number 9.

Probably not a bad thing at this stage.

You could get to the final stage where you only see them one at

a time and you have all the numbers stacked up against you.

-Then that properly is the long haul.

-Sure.

-Yeah.

-Are you ready for your next three answers?

-Indeed. Yes, please.

OK, let's see them.

Well, if I get the question wrong on The Clash, once again,

I'll be ridiculed by a few of my mates - I grew up with bands like

The Clash, so I would

definitely have to see the one for The Clash first.

You've again nailed your colours to the mast in a very dangerous way.

-It is, very much.

-OK,

let's find out the question behind The Clash.

Well, this one, I know.

I saw them just a few weeks ago playing in

a little place down in Southampton.

Although Rat Scabies is retired from the band, they play for the Dammed.

Captain Sensible, famously for the Dammed,

so I know that is definitely not the answer.

Which one next, then?

Montgomery Clift seems to ring to me...

I should know who that is, but I don't.

It's not coming to my mind, so I think I shall have to go with

honey and just hope that something decent comes up.

Let's keep our fingers crossed as we open the question behind honey.

Well, I think I chose well, there

because, that one, I do know.

Mead is a honey-based alcoholic

drink from the medieval period

so I'd have to lock in honey.

We're going to lock in honey

as our correct answer.

Which means we can have a look at the question behind Montgomery Clift

and hopefully that confirms the way you were feeling already.

I would imagine that would

-be Paul Newman.

-OK.

So you're happy with that answer as

an incorrect answer as well?

-Correct, yeah.

-Good stuff, OK.

Let's see if that's the case.

Is honey our correct answer?

-Yes.

-There's a relief.

-Of course, yes. Lesley.

Yes, well done, Paul. You knew that honey is used to make mead,

and there is evidence that mead production goes back

several thousand years.

Let's look at the wrong answers up there.

When The Clash came up, you knew straightaway that that's the wrong

answer, having seen The Damned

- which is the correct answer - performing live.

That helped quite a lot in that one.

Captain Sensible has had hits in his own right, Happy Talk, for example.

Now, Montgomery Clift,

an interesting inclusion here, because Montgomery Clift is

-referenced in a Clash song called The Right Profile.

-OK.

The correct answer, Hud, Cool Hand Luke,

Paul Newman - which you said.

You knew that when the question came up so very well done.

Paul Newman was nominated in five different decades for acting Oscars.

-Wow.

-Good work again, there, Paul. Fantastic.

Gives you the chance to choose another digit from the keypad.

Half the numbers now gone. Which one is it going to be next?

Well, just to make a kind of little question mark

pattern around the top, how about going for number 2?

Nice. I like the way you're working there.

Is the number 2 there in our code? Is it there in the first box?

No, it's not. Is it there in the third and final box?

No number 2.

-OK.

-But a lovely question mark shape.

So, Paul, you're doing brilliantly.

Are all of your flights like this? Do they always go this smoothly?

-Of course.

-OK. Well, let's hope it carries on going this smoothly.

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

Which one do you want to choose first?

I used to be a huge John Cleese fan,

remembering the Pythons when they were around,

so let's go with John Cleese and see what that's all about.

The question behind John Cleese.

Well, John Cleese definitely went to one of them,

I can't remember if it was Oxford or Cambridge.

I've got a feeling he was Oxford. But it could have been Cambridge,

but he definitely went to one of

those two, so I think we can dismiss that.

OK, which one next?

Let's go with Michelangelo.

The question behind Michelangelo, please.

Michelangelo Caravaggio.

I think that is correct.

There was an artist commonly known as Caravaggio, had what first name?

Right, so Caravaggio being the surname,

so Michelangelo Caravaggio, what else could it have been?

No, I think I'm going to go with

my gut instinct and go with Michelangelo.

-We want to lock that in as our correct answer?

-Yes, please.

Let's do it.

Now, we can have a look at the question behind six.

Although I am a decimal boy,

I do remember before decimals

and all that kind of stuff,

all the imperial measures, and

I believe it's eight furlongs

in a mile, so I'm quite happy with

the Michelangelo choice now.

This is getting serious now,

there's only four numbers

left on the keypad.

-Are you ready?

-I'm ready.

Is Michelangelo our correct answer?

-Wahey!

-He's got it. He's got it. Well done, Paul.

-That's a bit of a relief as well.

-Lesley.

Yes, very well done, good decision,

Michelangelo was the correct answer.

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio.

Literally, from Caravaggio, a place in Lombardy in Italy.

When you saw the question about the furlongs come up,

you knew straightaway that it's not six, but eight - based on an old

measurement of an average ploughed furrow.

And the John Cleese question.

John Cleese went to Cambridge, as did Eric Idle

and Graham Chapman.

Terry Jones and Michael Palin went to Oxford.

The correct answer is Terry Gilliam. He was at college in California.

Thank you, Lesley. And it's the answer we were looking for as well,

was to give us the chance to choose another digit to put into the code.

4, 5, 7 and 8.

Two of those have to be up there.

-Which one do you want next?

-Well, I did say

I was making a question mark, last time.

And to make a perfect question mark would be number 8.

You need the number 8, right there at the bottom.

OK, is 8 there in our code?

Is it there in the first box of the code?

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

There it is. Blank-6-8.

Paul, how are you feeling right now?

I was hoping it was going to go red so I can maybe have

a slightly easier round but, hey.

-You genuinely wanted to be here for the long haul.

-I did.

Long Haul Paul.

Well, I tell you what, only three digits left on the keypad.

But it does mean now we're at the trickiest part of the quiz.

This is where, yes, you see all three answers, but this time,

only one of the questions at a time before you have to commit

-to whether it's right or wrong.

-OK.

OK, that's the way it's going to work.

Are you ready for your next three answers?

-Ready as I'll ever be.

-Here they come.

Obviously, at this stage,

-the order in which you choose these is absolutely critical.

-Sure.

Looking at those, Igor Sikorsky, being a flying boy,

he's about helicopters.

The Winter's Tale,

I've never seen it, but there's a couple of bits of trivia about

Winter's Tale which I do know, I'm hoping one of those might come up.

And the Pennine Way, well, I've never walked it,

used to have a holiday home when I was a young lad up in the Pennines.

Whether I know anything about the Pennine Way, or not, I don't know.

So, on that basis,

I'm going to go for The Winter's Tale and hope the two bits of trivia

that I know about The Winter's Tale might very well come up.

OK, let's have a look at the question behind The Winter's Tale.

Well, I'm quite happy with that

because I know The Winter's Tale

was set in Bohemia.

Illyria, I think,

was Troilus and Cressida

so I'm definitely going

to discard that one.

OK, we're going to

discard that question.

That's out of the game now. Which question do you want to select next?

Bearing in mind that I probably would know nothing about the Pennine

Way and I knew that Igor Sikorsky

is known as the father of helicopters,

I think I'll go with Igor Sikorsky.

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

Well, that one I do know. The AK-47

is also known as the Kalashnikov.

And he was the Russian inventor

that invented it, had his name.

So Sikorsky invented the helicopter and, yeah,

I can discard that one as well.

OK, so we have to select one of these now as the correct

answer to lock in.

The correct answer would have to be,

by default, the Pennine Way.

OK, let's lock in the Pennine Way.

It's locked in. We can't change it. Means we can have a look

-at the question behind it.

-OK.

-How does that feel?

-Kind of makes sense.

It feels right. Combined with the other two,

-you think you've made the right choice there?

-I think I have, yeah.

So, you've got a one in three shot, if this is right,

to choose a number which could be in your code

and unlock the door on £6,000.

What would you do with that money, Paul?

I've been married for 22, 23 years.

I've learned, in that time,

probably best to let my wife make that decision.

-And what's your wife's name?

-Wife is Penny.

-OK, so this is for Penny.

This is for Penny.

In for a penny, in for £6,000, possibly.

Is the Pennine Way...

a correct answer?

-Great stuff.

-That's for you, Penny.

Well done, Paul. Well done, Paul. Lesley.

Yes, the Pennine Way, the back bone of England.

The end point is The Border Hotel in Kirk Yetholm

and walkers who complete the Pennine Way

get a free half pint and a certificate at The Border Hotel.

-A half pint(!)

-A half pint. Yes.

-OK.

-I think they probably have to go...

-You have to go both ways, yeah.

..twice, yeah, to get the full pint.

Igor Sikorsky, when you saw that, you knew that it was something

to do with helicopters.

Yes, he is associated with the earliest types of helicopter.

The correct answer, exactly as you said,

Kalashnikov, Mikhail Kalashnikov,

the inventor of the Automatic Kalashnikov 47.

47 coming from the year 1947.

And The Winter's Tale, not the right answer.

You knew that The Winter's Tale is set on the coast of Bohemia.

The correct answer, Illyria, is in Twelfth Night.

-Oh, is that right? Oh, wow.

-Thank you, Lesley.

Now, here we go. This is exciting.

We have three digits left on the keypad.

There is only one slot left -

four, five, and seven.

Which one is it going to be?

-Let's go for lucky seven.

-Lucky seven.

OK, Paul, let's make our way to the safe.

Paul...

Long Haul Paul.

-You've chosen the number 7.

-Yes.

If the number 7 is the final number in your code,

you will go home today to Penny with £6,000.

Well, she will be pleased.

-Well, we've got to make it happen first.

-Yes.

-Are you ready?

-I'm ready. I'm hoping it's number 7.

Punch in the number 7.

The final number in our code.

Is it the code - 7-6-8?

If it turns up,

then Paul is flying back to Penny with £6,000.

-Ah!

-It's not 7.

-Sorry, Penny.

-It's not 7.

-OK.

-OK, let's make our way back.

Paul, it almost feels like someone needs to provide us with

a light meal of some sort... PAUL LAUGHS

..of some sort to get us through this.

Let's refuel, let's continue.

Are you ready for your next three answers?

-Let's go.

-OK, here we go.

I've been to Kenya many times,

but I'm sure it's not going to be about my visiting.

BB King, I listened to a lot of his music when I was younger.

Bow Street Runners...

-Yeah, let's go for Bow Street runners.

-OK.

Let's have a look at the question behind Bow Street Runners.

The Bow Street Runners were

basically the precursor of...

..of the police.

I've got a feeling they were the first ones.

I also have a feeling

that Henry Fielding did it.

I think I might be lucky.

I can't think what else it could be.

And I think, in the back of my mind, I think that it is true.

Yeah, I think that's the correct answer.

Have you completed all your checks?

Checks complete, captain.

Tell me, what do you want to do with that answer?

I'm going to lock that in as the correct answer.

There we go. We can't go back,

but what we can do now is have a look at other two questions.

-Let's start with the question behind Kenya or Keen-ya.

-This is torture.

That, I would not have a clue.

It's a possibility.

-Wouldn't have been one that you'd want to open first?

-Definitely not.

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

Well, even though I listened to a lot of BB King and Howlin' Wolf and

all that kind of stuff in my youth,

I can't remember any of the titles.

So, that doesn't help me either, I'm afraid.

Well, it's academic.

What we have is a locked-in answer, the Bow Street Runners.

It is Bow Street Runners the correct answer?

That is a relief.

-Well done. Well done.

-Thank you.

You are doing absolutely brilliantly.

Very well done, yes.

Paul, you've joined an elite group of players

-who have got to nine questions successfully.

-Oh, wow!

The Bow Street Runners is the correct answer.

They were regarded as the first British police force,

started as half a dozen men.

And Kenya, that's not the right answer.

The Kenyan national anthem has a version in Swahili

and another in English.

The correct answer is South Africa.

And BB King not the right answer there.

-The correct answer is Robert Johnson.

-Oh.

-Well done.

Paul, you have one digit remaining in the code and two to choose from.

The crucial question is - which number are you going to go for?

I think - I was making patterns earlier, wasn't I?

-and that seemed to be OK for my strategy.

-Yes.

The pattern I would make there, I think, would be number 4.

In that case, Paul, join me at the safe.

Thank you.

Paul, you've chosen the number 4.

If the number 4 is the final number in your code,

then the door will swing open

and you will be walking home with £6,000 today.

Paul, punch in the number 4.

Are we going to see the number 4 pop up here?

Or are we really in this for the long haul?

Are we going to take this all the way

with all ten numbers on the keypad?

Come on, come on.

We've never had to press all ten numbers before.

Is it number 4?

Come on.

THEY LAUGH

-OK, well, let's...let's...

-I wonder what number it could be.

I wonder. I wonder, I wonder.

We know our code now. 5-6-8. That's it.

The big question is - can we make it through one more question?

All ten questions and you will truly be crowned Long Haul Paul then.

-No-one has ever done it this long way round.

-OK.

Get this question right and you will open the safe

and you will take away £6,000.

It's that simple, so let's see...

our last three answers.

Oh, my word. Angers could be anything.

I presume it's French, but...

You are thinking that's a French...

-Angers.

-Right.

I think I'll have to start with croquet

and hope I know some of the rules of croquet.

We are going to open croquet and have a look

at the question behind it.

I think I remember seeing this picture.

I've got a big history interest

and I subscribe to a history magazine

which shall remain nameless

and they had this picture in there

and it was something very surprising where you think, "What?"

I've got a feeling it could very well be croquet.

I'm just trying to cast my mind back to the picture.

There's a grainy, black-and-white picture, and he was there,

I think with something over his shoulder,

which could be a croquet mallet.

I think if you got that gut instinct

which thinks, "I've seen the picture,"

and I know at the time I had that kind of...

"What?!" kind of reaction. "How could Billy the Kid play croquet?"

I can't dismiss that if that's the kind of memory that I have.

How much is the subscription you pay for that magazine?

25 quid a year, something like that.

So, it could be quite worthwhile, couldn't it?

It would be worth every penny to you and Penny

IF it turned out to be the source for the information

-that gave you the right answer here.

-Mm.

I'm going to lock that in as the correct answer.

Let's lock it in.

OK, croquet is locked in as our correct answer.

The one answer which could now give us - automatically - £6,000.

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

I've flown over Brittany many times. I should have looked down.

I don't think it's Angers.

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

The same magazine, I believe,

had the same kind of information.

I don't remember Kew Gardener being an answer.

Neither of those has shaken your confidence in your original answer.

Your original thought was that croquet was the correct answer.

If I was given all those three answers as they stand now,

I would still probably go for that top one.

-OK, well, you can't ask for much more than that.

-Indeed.

OK, this is it. This is the moment of truth.

We don't need to worry about the keypad any more.

We know what the code is. It has to be 5-6-8.

All we need to know now is that croquet is the correct answer,

that it's going to go green and that you will be walking away

with £6,000 for yourself and for Penny back in Farnham.

Is croquet the correct answer?

-LAUGHS:

-Yes!

I'm so pleased for you.

That was great, great work.

Come on! Join me down at the safe

where, without worrying about a thing,

you can hit the number five and you can know exactly

-what is going to happen. There it goes.

-Is it?

Cos we know it's going to be a five.

The safe opens, reach in there, grab the handle, Paul, open it up.

And take the money. It's all yours. It's all yours.

-Woohoo!

-Take that away.

This is for me.

And join me back at the beginning, where it all started.

-Indeed. A long time ago.

-Right.

Just to confirm, here we are, as we now know

by the very lengthy process of elimination,

the code was 5-6-8.

What can I say? £6,000, it's going back to Penny

with our best regards. You won't see a penny of it...

-Probably not, no.

-She will decide what goes on with all of it.

-What do you think, Lesley?

-Phew! Congratulations.

-Thank you.

-Really, really pleased -

and that's the first time anyone has had to go through ten questions

to open that safe and take the cash.

I'm absolutely delighted.

Let's look at the answers. You were very fortunate to pick croquet

as your first option. That's the correct option answer there.

Angers, not that this matters now, but Rennes is the capital Brittany,

-which you didn't notice when you were flying over.

-Yes.

They don't have a big sign saying "Rennes"

that's visible from the air.

And Kew Gardener, not the correct answer.

This is the story about "I see no ships."

The correct answer being Hyde Parker.

-I'm delighted for you.

-Thank you very much.

Do you know what? You are our second solo winner,

second winner of this series,

but our second solo winner.

-You have cracked the code.

-Thank you.

And we have to send you on your way now, as a winner, with your cash.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you so much for joining us.

Wow! Well, big congratulations to Paul, who walks away with £6,000.

The jackpot has been won,

which means a fresh £3,000

goes into the safe.

Let's see if our next team can do what Paul has done

and crack the code.

-Here they are. Good to see you. How are you, Nick?

-Hi. Good, thanks.

-Waheeza.

-Hi.

-And Matt.

-Matt.

Good to see you. Right, tell me, whereabouts are you all from?

-I live in Staffordshire.

-And we're both Northampton-based.

And how do you know each other?

We are all on the marketing team

-for our builders' merchants.

-A builders' merchants?

-That's it. Yeah.

-OK, so you are building the country for us.

-We are indeed, yeah.

-One brick at a time. Do you sell bricks?

-Yes.

We sell anything on the ground and in the ground.

So then, tell me, what is the most popular thing that you sell?

What do you sell the most of?

Poo pipes and manholes.

Poo pipes and manholes.

That's right. We look after sewers and drainage.

Marvellous stuff.

OK, so you saw Paul staggering away with £6,000.

-He was pretty amazing, wasn't he? ALL:

-Yes.

For you guys, that means we have to start again from scratch.

We put a fresh £3,000 into the safe.

£1,000 each, works very nicely indeed.

Now, we are going to reset the code.

-Are you ready? ALL:

-Yes.

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

Oh, pink.

Only one of those answer is correct.

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

At this point in the game,

you get to open all three questions

to have a look at them.

So, let's start at the top,

the question behind 15th.

On which day of February is Valentine's Day celebrated

in the UK?

-It's not the 15th.

-I think my wife would kill me if I got that wrong.

OK, so we can move on from that one straightaway.

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

-They are yellow.

-Yellow.

Happy with that one, as well.

The question behind Bus.

I think we can go with Bus on that one.

Yeah, that's quite a common phrase.

OK, we are in absolute agreement here, unanimous.

We want to lock in Bus as our correct answer.

Is Bus our correct answer?

Absolutely. No doubt about that at all. Lesley.

Synchronised quizzing.

You knew all of the answers there,

saying them at almost exactly the same time.

Jose Mourinho once remarked about a 0-0 draw,

Chelsea versus Spurs, "As we say in Portugal,

"they brought the bus

"and they left the bus in front of the goal."

Let's look at the others.

You knew immediately 15th wasn't right here.

And Nick, thank goodness, knows that,

otherwise he'd be in trouble with his wife.

It's the 14th of February.

And Pink, you all said that at the same time - no, that's yellow.

The Minions have been in their own film, Minions, from 2015.

Yes, our team is laying the foundations...

..for a very easy run here,

because now, in no time at all,

we have the chance to put our first number from the keypad

into the code.

What number?

-0?

-Did you agree this beforehand?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-0?

-0.

Going to start at the bottom with 0. Is it there in our code?

Let's have a look at the first box.

-Oh!

-Oh.

-Oh, let's not muck about!

-Have you got somewhere to be?!

-No.

0, the first number in the code.

0, blank, blank.

No team has ever completed the code in three questions.

-Could be us.

-Could be us.

Yeah, the slight bad news is that it's not always the best thing.

-No.

-There are nine digits left there

and we're now at a trickier stage of the quiz

where, yes, you get the three answers

but, unfortunately, now you only see two questions

before you have to make a decision about which one is correct.

Let's see the next three answers.

-Let's go celebrity squares.

-Yeah.

The question behind celebrity squares.

-That's Take Me Out.

-Take Me Out.

OK. You can open one other now

before we have to make a decision.

-Let's go Il Divo.

-Let's go Il Divo.

The question behind Il Divo.

All I know is that Il Divo...

I think they have mixed nationalities.

Which is why that one's looking quite good.

Either we go for Il Divo, or we go blind and Belgium.

Shall we go...?

-For me it seems sensible, given it's a mixed nationality.

-Yeah?

-To go Il Divo?

-Yep, right, let's go for it.

We'll go for Il Divo.

-Lock that one in.

-We're going to lock in Il Divo as a correct answer.

OK. It means now we can have a look at the question behind Belgium.

I don't know.

Feel like we should know.

It is academic at the end of the day,

because Il Divo is locked in,

and that's the one we need to be our correct answer,

if we're going to have another chance

to continue this rapid progress

that we're making.

Is Il Divo our correct answer?

-Hey!

-Hey, that's good.

It was good, Waheeza, if you say it yourself.

Lesley.

Yes, well done.

I think what helped you here

was remembering that Il Divo is an international group.

They're from Switzerland, France,

Spain and the United States of America.

Let's look at the wrong answers on the board.

Belgium, not correct.

Belgium joined the UN in 1945.

The correct answer is Switzerland.

And Celebrity squares - you knew straightaway

that "No likey, no lighty", as well as, "Let the hanky see the panky"

and other such phrases are from Take Me Out.

It's good. Maybe we need a catchphrase. Maybe that's...

If you think up one, do let us know.

-No codey, no winny.

-No codey, no winny.

-No, I don't like that one.

-That's not going to work.

OK, fantastic work.

It means you've got the chance to put in another digit into the code

to see if it's there.

0, wow.

Well, you hit the bull's-eye with that.

What's the plan, what's the next one?

-We'll go 8.

-8.

8. This is part of a plan?

Love it. The number 8.

-THEY LAUGH

-I don't know!

Is it there in your code?

Let's have a look in the second box.

No number 8.

Is it there in the third and final box?

No, no number 8.

0, blip, blip - but you're getting rid of numbers

at this slightly easier stage of the game.

Your next three answers - let's have a look.

Oh...!

Yes, it reads as a sentence.

The order in which you open these - very important.

I've watched a lot of snooker,

particularly when Steve Davis was winning in the '80s,

so, yeah, be quite good at that one, I think.

Happy with Steve Davis? All right, go.

Do you feel like you have a lot in common with Steve Davis, Nick?

My dad looks like him.

Your dad looks like Steve Davis.

These are all perfectly acceptable reasons to choose it.

Is he called Steve as well?

He is, yeah.

-Is your dad in fact Steve Davis?

-He might be, yeah!

And maybe that's the question?

Let's find out.

I have read he might actually play poker,

now he's finished his playing career,

but I'm not sure if he's won it,

-that competition, twice.

-OK.

Well, we don't have to make a decision just yet,

we can have a look at another question

and see what we've got. Which one next?

-Try five times.

-Five times.

The question behind five times, please.

I'm kind of thinking that you might read them out once for each family.

At least...

I remember when my mum and stepdad got married,

being dragged out of bed early on a Sunday morning

to have the Banns read, multiple times.

How many multiple times?

Was it five?!

Five seems a lot.

I think it might be three times for the Banns.

Right, so did Steve Davis win the European Poker Tour twice?

I know he plays poker but I don't know if he's won it twice, so...

When would he have quit or retired from playing snooker?

Three or four years ago, I think he stopped playing professionally.

Would he have then won it twice in 2014? By 2014?

So, I think, do we have to go blind and go for Rubbing Body Parts?

Are we going Rubbing Body Parts?

We're going to go blind, with Rubbing Body Parts.

We will lock in Rubbing Body Parts as our correct answer.

OK, we've seen the other two, we're not happy with those.

Will we be happy with the question behind this?

Let's have a look.

What does stridulating mean?

What do you think of that?

-They rub their legs.

-I think they rub the back of their legs together.

So, given that you didn't like the other two questions,

didn't really feel anything,

-has that made you feel much more confident?

-Yes.

-A bit.

I'm happy for you.

We want you to be happy.

Is Rubbing Body Parts our correct answer?

Fantastic. Well done, team.

-Good decision.

-Very brave. Lesley.

Good decision to pick the answer

to which you could not see the question there.

Yes, Rubbing Body Parts is correct.

But crickets, you said they rub their legs -

it's actually their wings they rub together to make that noise.

It's commonly thought to be their legs.

Steve Davis - not the right answer.

You were discussing when he retired from snooker -

that was in 2016, having failed to qualify

for the World Snooker Championships.

The correct answer is Victoria Coren Mitchell.

Victoria Coren Mitchell,

presenter, amongst other things, of Only Connect.

Five times - not the right answer.

Matt, you said the correct answer to this one - three times.

The Banns should be read out three times

over the course of three months,

giving people a chance to object.

Thank you, Lesley. No reason to object to that, though.

You are doing fantastically well,

and it's bought you the chance to choose another digit.

0 and 8 have gone.

Eight other digits remain.

Where are we going next?

Shall we go 1?

I like the idea of 1. Let's try 1.

We like the idea of 1. Is it up there in the code,

in the second box?

No number 1 there.

How about in the third and final box?

-Ah.

-Oh.

-OK.

-No, it's not.

We are whittling away the numbers,

and that will only help you in the long term.

Let's look at your next three answers.

-Milton Keynes?

-Milton Keynes.

OK, let's open the questions behind Milton Keynes.

That's Bletchley Park, that is.

Bletchley is in Milton Keynes,

-it's down the road from my mum and dad's house.

-OK.

-Which one would you like to open next?

-Your Holiness.

-Yes.

-Let's do that.

Let's do Your Holiness.

Let's open the question behind Your Holiness.

It sounds like it could be true.

I'd probably call a reverend Your Holiness.

We have to now, given that two of those are open,

we have to choose one of those

as the correct answer.

Which one do you fancy?

Milton Keynes.

OK, let's lock in Milton Keynes.

I don't think you could be much more confident.

We can have a look

at the question behind Caligula.

-We wouldn't have known that.

-No.

-No?

Doesn't make any difference to the way you feel? OK.

Is Milton Keynes the correct answer?

Well done. Good stuff.

I'm so glad there's not another Bletchley.

Lesley.

Yes, Milton Keynes, the home

of the National Museum of Computing at Bletchley.

Bletchley used to be on the Varsity line

that connected Oxford and Cambridge, now defunct.

Caligula was the question that you couldn't see.

Caligula was Nero's uncle,

said to be fiddling while Rome burned -

fiddling in the sense of playing a violin.

Probably not true, especially since violins didn't exist at the time,

though it may have been another instrument.

And Your Holiness - usually Your Holiness is reserved for the Pope.

There are other church leaders that use that term.

But the Reverend Adam Smallbone was known as Vicarage,

and his wife Mrs Vicarage.

Very well done. Nicely worked out.

Yes, absolutely. Well, that one landed in your lap a little bit.

They aren't all like that, but it doesn't make any difference,

because one way or the other it buys you the right

to choose another digit from the keypad

and see if it's in the code.

-3?

-Yeah, go on, then.

-3. Go for 3.

-The number 3.

Is the number 3 there in the code?

Is it there in the second box?

Oh.

OK.

Fantastic.

So, now, look - we have in our code 0,3...and something.

And that something's what we need to find out

if we're going to get our hands

on a £3,000 jackpot.

But you are making quite smart work of this.

KLAXON

-Ooh.

-Now, that sound means that, unfortunately,

we have run out of time.

So our team will not be cracking the code today,

although you are making short work of this.

You are that close now, that close.

Just one digit away from £3,000 between you.

So, we'll carry that on tomorrow.

-Make sure you do a bit of cramming over night.

-OK.

-We'll try.

-And, Lesley, thank you so much

for all the knowledge you've shared with us today.

You're very welcome.

I've really enjoyed the show today.

We saw Long Haul Paul earlier walk away with the £6,000.

And now you are playing perfectly. Well done.

Now, please join us tomorrow

and find out if Nick, Waheeza and Matt

can work their way to unlocking the safe and taking home £3,000.

Thank you so much for watching, and goodbye.
