Episode 13 The Code

Hello and welcome to The Code. Locked in this safe is £4,000.

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.

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

Here they come, lovely to see you. How are you, Jane?

-Hello, I'm very well, thank you. How are you?

-Nice to see you, and Rosie?

-Hi.

-Good to see you, both from Newbury in Berkshire.

-Yes.

-How do you guys know each other?

-We're neighbours.

-We met the second day we moved in, we were the last to move in.

-Right.

And we had a house-warming party and invited all the neighbours.

So, what do you guys do?

So, I'm a freelance coach and management trainer and I do that

so I can spend a fair amount of time at home

with my two and four-year-old.

OK, what sort of things do you like doing when you're not at work, Jane?

I like gardening and adventure holidays and belly dancing.

-Belly dancing?

-Yes!

A beginner's move for someone like myself, if I was going to start?

You could do a figure of eight. So, you have to keep...

-Keep the top very still.

-OK.

-Keep the top still and do a...

-I'm just moving...

-That's amazing.

-Is that good?

-That's wonderful.

What does it look like from behind, Lesley?

-Really good. She saying that, she's saying nothing.

-She's speechless!

That's all we need to know. It looks like a figure of something.

Yes, well, listen, we wish you the very, very best.

Luck didn't hold out, unfortunately, for our last team,

Anthony and Michael.

They failed, but it's good news for you because it means we add

another £500 to the safe,

bringing us to a total of £4,000.

2,000 each, that works out quite well, doesn't it?

OK, to open the safe and win that £4,000, all you need to do

is enter a code, which is made up of three unique numbers.

They're all different, no doubles in there.

Every time you pick the right answer,

then you can select a number, put it into the keypad,

see if it works, find out whether or not it's there in the code.

But be warned, if at any stage you pick the wrong answer,

that's it, you're out of the game.

Instant elimination, I'm afraid.

Pretty brutal. Let's reset the code.

There we go, three blanks. We want to see three numbers in there.

Before we start, let's introduce our resident book smart, Lesley Brewis!

Welcome, Jane and Rosie.

I hope you do well with the questions

-and that you're lucky with the numbers.

-Thank you.

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

And at this point,

you can open all three answers.

So, let's have a look at the very first one,

the question behind Brazil.

Somebody in a South American country,

and it was a lady, was removed last year.

Whether it was Brazil or not, I don't know.

The beauty at this stage is you can compare it with the others.

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

Um, I think jodhpurs is an Indian name, an Indian word, I think.

-So, that might make sense.

-Possibly.

Let's open the question behind Pelmet.

No, that's a riser.

And a pelmet is a curtain, so that's definitely not right.

-You're happy with that one?

-That one can go.

We know that that's wrong.

I know that's not right, that one can go.

My instinct with the Brazil was no,

but then, regional items of clothing.

And regional, what does regional mean?

And jodhpurs these days are made of stretchy material,

not necessarily leather.

-But they probably would have been, originally.

-Oh!

It can be either of those. I'm happy it's not Pelmet.

The only thing that throws me there with items of clothing.

-Because it's one item.

-It's a single one.

Brazil hosted the Olympics. Can you remember anything about

the opening ceremony or anything like that?

It was after that, wasn't it?

-I don't remember it being big news at the time.

-OK.

And I would have thought it would be major news

if they'd changed the leader of the country.

Jodhpurs feels more likely but they could...

-Let's do it.

-Let's go with Jodhpurs.

We're going to lock in Jodhpurs as our correct answer.

If it goes green, then Jane and Rosie get the chance

to try a number, see if it's there in the code.

If it's not, it's been a very, very quick visit

to see us here on The Code.

We don't want that, we want to keep you for a bit longer.

I need to learn some more belly dancing moves.

I will never learn, unless Jodhpurs is the correct answer.

-Oh!

-No.

-Oh, no. Oh, no, I'm so sorry.

-That was very quick.

I'm so sorry, let's find out the correct answer.

-Oh.

-It was Brazil, you had a sneaky feeling, didn't you, Jane? Lesley?

Yes, Jane, you knew the story about the female president of

a South American country, but you weren't quite sure which it was.

She was accused of moving funds between budgets,

which is illegal under Brazilian law.

And the trick with the questions on The Code is always to ask yourself

what is the answer if it's not what I'm seeing on the screen.

And you thought maybe leather breeches,

what could that be in a different language?

-Lederhosen.

-Ah.

Or lederhose in singular. Not that anyone would ever wear just one.

And Pelmet, this one you didn't have any trouble with.

You even gave the correct answer, Jane, which is riser.

Pelmets usually the strips of fabric that cover curtain rails.

Thank you, Lesley. What can I say?

We were just getting to know each other. It was going so well.

You are far from the first people ever to go out on the first round,

so please don't be too downhearted.

It just turned out they weren't your questions to start with.

I'm afraid to say you have to go back to Newbury.

On this occasion, Jane and Rosie, you have failed to crack the code.

-And so, we have to wish you goodbye, farewell and good luck.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-Bye-bye.

-Thanks, thank you.

A short trip. That was it for Jane and Rosie, unfortunately.

However, their loss is our next team's gain

because the jackpot goes even higher.

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

-Excellent, come on down, as they say, Joe.

-Thank you.

-And Nick.

-Hi, Matt.

-How are you? All right?

-All right, thank you.

Yeah, good to see you here.

So, tell me a little bit about yourselves.

-I know you're from Staines.

-That's right.

-And Twickenham?

-Yes.

-Not too far apart?

-No, that's right.

-How did you guys meet?

Well, we used to work for the same company that ran coach trips

to rock concerts on the Continent.

That sounds a bit like the most exciting thing I've ever heard.

-You'd think, wouldn't you?

-You didn't go on the trips.

-There were a few hairy moments, though.

-Really?

-Food fights in hotels.

-Right.

You can imagine a group of heavy metal fans in a posh hotel.

-At the breakfast bar.

-They flooded the dining room.

-Really?

-It was, in both senses of the word, hairy.

-Indeed.

-There was a lot of it going round.

-That was Monsters Of Rock.

What do you do now?

I combine my time with DJ work and a bit of football coaching.

What is your guaranteed floor-filler?

What's the one you put on where you go, "I've got to get them dancing."

-Billie Jean, I would think.

-Really?

-It's going to work for all ages.

-Nice.

-I can see Lesley agrees with that.

-Yeah, no...

That would definitely get me dancing.

If I see you at a gig, I'll know what to put on.

-Well, listen, it's lovely to have you on the show.

-Thank you.

Joe and Nick. The team before you, Jane and Rosie,

unfortunately made a very, very quick departure.

They failed to crack the code.

Bad news for them but terrific news for you.

Because it means another £500 is added to the pot.

Making a total of £4,500.

-I'm sure you'd find a way to divide that between you.

-Yes.

-Good.

-In half, I'd think.

-That's the way. Traditionally, the way it's done.

Let's reset the code.

If you're ready, Joe and Nick,

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

Let's reveal the question behind Nelson Mandela.

Not sure, there was a film about his life with Idris Elba,

but I'm not sure about the timing of it.

OK, we'll have a look at the next question,

the one behind Intelligence, please.

No, it's not that.

-I think it's Investigation, I think.

-Criminal Investigation...

Investigation Department, I think.

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

The Power, I think that is.

Right, so where do we stand here, gentlemen?

I'm not good on darts, but I'll trust him.

-It's got to be Mandela, then.

-Yeah, it must be.

I'm pretty sure that the others,

that the CID and the darts ones are incorrect answers.

So, initially I would say that

Nelson Mandela must be the correct answer.

-OK, happy to lock in Nelson Mandela?

-Lock in Nelson.

There we are. Is Nelson Mandela our correct answer?

Well done, very good start,

over the first bump in the road. Lesley?

Yes, Nelson Mandela the correct answer.

Well done, Joe, you knew a lot about the film,

including that Idris Elba had played Nelson Mandela

in The Long Walk To Freedom, 5th of December, 2013,

the date of his death and that premiere.

Intelligence not the right answer,

you intelligently dismissed that one.

And, Joe, you said the correct answer too, which is investigation.

The Criminal Investigation Department,

the plainclothes department of the police.

And Jackpot not the right answer there.

There is a darts player, Adrian "The Jackpot" Lewis.

Nickname came because apparently he won a jackpot at a casino

in Las Vegas but couldn't claim it because he was too young.

The correct answer, exactly as you said, Phil "The Power" Taylor.

Sid Waddell once said of Phil "The Power" Taylor

that if we had Phil Taylor at Hastings against the Normans,

they'd have gone home.

Yes, well, you certainly have the power early on,

fantastically dismissing, despatching this first round,

finding the right answer.

And that's gets you the chance to choose your first number

from the keypad.

Who's going to choose? What's the idea?

-Is there a plan here?

-Three.

-Just because you fancy it?

-Yeah.

-Why not?

Let's see if the number three is there in our code.

Is it there in the first box?

There is no three. How about the second box?

It's not there. How about the third and final box?

-OK, we're happy with that.

-No, that's good.

Get rid of the numbers early on.

At the easiest level of the game. Your next three answers.

We get to see all three questions, so we'll start again at the top.

-Wasn't Spanish, was he?

-No, I'm pretty sure it's not Spain.

Not entirely sure which country

on the other side of the Atlantic it is.

South America, though.

Was he born in Spain, though?

-Let's wait till we see the others, but...

-OK.

Let's open the question behind Red.

-Blue, white, red.

-Yeah, I think it's blue, white, red. I think. Yeah.

-But it's not red, white, blue.

-No.

-Blue is the bigger one.

White is definitely the middle one.

Middle one, so that's probably right, that.

We think that's probably right.

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

I think it's because they resemble a branch of monks,

if that's what you call a group of monks, I'm not sure. Order of monks.

-OK.

-Think we'll have to go RAF.

Yes, I think we're erring on the side of RAF, the middle one.

We'd like to lock in Red as our correct answer.

We want it to turn green, though, not red.

So, is Red the correct answer?

-It is, bang on the money. Well done, bull's-eye.

-Yes, well done.

You not only knew that Red was the correct answer,

you gave the order too, going from the outside - blue, white, red.

It was a simplified use of the colours in the Union Flag,

so it would be recognised from all angles.

And the Spain question there, Spain not the correct answer.

Che Guevara, born in Argentina.

He met Fidel and Raul Castro in Mexico and then joined them

in the Cuban Revolution.

And it's not Policeman, the correct answer here, Joe,

you lead the way with this one as well. It is monks.

And cappuccino coffee comes from their similarity to monks' attire.

Thank you, Lesley. Great work.

Nothing in your code so far.

One number down from the keypad. Which one is it going to be next?

Let's try number seven.

OK, the number seven, is it there in your code?

Is it there in the first box?

No, is it there in the second box?

No, is it there in the third and final box?

You're skilfully avoiding the numbers in the code!

Eventually, you will have to find some, obviously.

Here we go, next three answers. Let's have a look.

The question behind Ruth Davidson.

-I think she's...

-The Tory?

Yeah, I think she's the Conservative leader in Scotland, I think. Yeah?

Is that what you think?

Well, the Conservatives have got a Scottish leader

elected in 20... About then.

-Whether Labour have... No, Labour, it was a guy, wasn't it?

-Yeah.

So, I think that's wrong.

I'm pretty sure I remember her on a less enjoyable TV show

disparaging the Labour Party, so...

-Less enjoyable than this?

-I know!

It is possible.

I'll ignore that. Let's have a look at the question behind Florence.

-Presumably Uffizio, is that Florence?

-Uffizi, yeah.

I think it might be Florence.

If we're thinking right, I think that means the Uffizi.

I have an idea it might be Florence.

More likely to be Florence but... God knows what Goo is.

OK, let's open the question behind Goo and find out.

That doesn't quite ring true to me,

but I can't bring to mind what it actually was.

Was it Tiswas or something, goo?

-Tiswas was slime.

-Slime.

-But as for Noel's House Party, I'm not sure.

We could be out here, Matt.

I think I would have to go with Florence out of any of those.

-It's not Rome.

-I don't think it's Rome.

Rome, Spanish steps, Coliseum... Shall we go Florence?

-At least we know it's...possible.

-We know it's an art gallery, yeah.

I'm assuming we've got the translation right.

What do we want to do? You want to lock in one of these?

-Florence?

-We'll have to.

-OK.

-It's been nice knowing you.

We'll have to lock in Florence, I think.

It's been lovely spending time with you.

Let's lock in Florence as our correct answer.

It feels like a best guess.

Is Florence the correct answer?

Yeah. That was it, process of elimination, you did it. Lesley?

Well done, yes. Joe, you even gave the correct answer.

The Uffizi gallery, home to amongst other works of art,

Botticelli's Primavera.

Ruth Davidson didn't because you much trouble because you remembered

that she's the leader of the Conservative Party.

Nick, you said Tory. And, Joe,

you said she's the leader of the Scottish Conservatives.

The correct answer is Kezia Dugdale,

Kezia Dugdale is the leader of the Labour Party in Scotland.

And Goo, the last answer,

you were discussing a couple of different names, like Tiswas.

-The correct answer, not goo, it's gunge.

-Gunge!

-There you go.

On Nickelodeon, they call it slime.

-Now, I've got a Lesley point available.

-Ooh!

Anyone who can tell me, fingers on imaginary buzzers,

what was the name of the village in which Noel's House Party was set?

-Crinkley...

-Bottom.

What do we get for a Lesley point?

Pride, that's it, that's all you get.

And you should be proud of what you're doing at the moment

because you are steaming through this early stage of the quiz.

Three and seven have gone there,

this buys you the right to try another digit in the code.

-Where are you going to go next?

-Two.

-The number two.

Is it there in the first box?

-Oh!

-You got one.

-Uh-huh.

You've hooked one, the number two is there up in the first position.

You carry on answering questions correctly,

you'll get a number in the code.

So, now, things become a little bit trickier.

As before, you see three answers, but you only get to see

two questions at a time

-before you have to make a decision and commit.

-Mm-hm.

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

Now, the order in which you open these up does become important.

Sounds like a Bob Marley song.

-I was thinking songs....

-Happiness.

We've no way of knowing what's behind them.

-I don't have any strong preference, do you?

-Love, shall we go Love?

-Let's go with Love.

-Yeah?

-Love.

-It's all you need.

Let's open the question behind Love.

-That's deuce.

-Must be deuce. Must be, surely.

-OK.

-That's wrong.

Well, we don't have to commit just yet, we can open another one.

Happiness, shall we go Happiness?

-Yeah, OK.

-OK, question behind Happiness.

Oh!

-I have no idea. That doesn't mean anything at all to me.

-No.

It means nothing to me. How do you measure happiness?

Maybe someone's come up with something.

It does sound a little unlikely, but you never know.

Well, we have to lock in one of these as the correct answer.

That's presumably named after somebody called Ulmer

or a place called Ulmer.

I'd be inclined to lock in Life there, what do you think?

Yeah, but...Ulmer could well be happiness, but, yes. I...

-This is a bit of a flyer. Is that what we're on here?

-Yeah.

-Yeah, I'm afraid so.

-A wing and a prayer.

-Yes.

Let's lock in Life as our correct answer.

There we are, it's locked in, we can't change it,

but we can have a look at the question behind it

and see how we feel.

Hopefully not too depressed.

We're in luck!

Well, as a DJ, I'm absolutely gutted I didn't pick that question,

but fortunately, I believe that is correct. I think we've got lucky.

You may not have picked it but you're happy to see it come up.

-We're very high on the Ulmer Scale now.

-I'm delighted.

You're happy... Well, no, it's not the Ulmer Scale!

We don't know what that is yet!

We think that Life is a song by Des'ree.

If it's wrong, we are going home. We don't like that.

We enjoy being on tour. We want to stay on the bus.

Is Life the correct answer?

Ooh! Well done.

Well, you didn't know quite what you were doing but it worked,

that's the crucial bit. Lesley?

Yes, Life the correct answer there.

It goes on to say she'd rather watch the evening news.

"Life, oh, life, oh, life, life, oh, life, doo, doo, doo."

Often cited as the worst lyrics of all time.

-I thought that actually was Des'ree there for a moment.

-Thank you!

It's like having her in the studio!

And let's look at the other answers on the board.

Love not the correct answer. You knew this one, the answer is deuce.

And deuce comes from a Middle English word for "two".

Now, the Happiness question, you were discussing whether or not

there is a way of measuring happiness.

There are some happiness scales,

a subjective measurement of people's happiness.

But the correct answer here,

the Ulmer Scale measures the bankability of celebrities.

What a terrible idea. Er, thank you very much, Lesley. Sounds awful!

But look, great stuff here, guys.

The tour bus is well and truly rolling now, isn't it?

You know, if we're going to Saint Petersburg,

we're somewhere in Antwerp right now, we're on the road.

Crucially, we have one number in your code, the number two,

two-blank-blank is your code.

Three and seven have been dispatched.

We've got seven other numbers left to choose from. Where next?

-Is it my turn?

-It's your turn.

-Let's complete the top row and have number one, please.

-Ooh!

Number one.

Is the number one in your code?

Is it there in the second box?

No, is it there in the third and final box?

-Oh!

-Look what you've gone and done.

Look what you've gone and done. two-blank-one.

One digit missing from your code now.

Get that and you've got your hands on the jackpot, £4,500.

Now you get to see three answers,

but you only get to see one question at a time

-before you have to make a decision.

-Yes.

And that is tricky. Let's find out just how tricky.

Here are your next three answers.

OK, so the order in which you choose

them now is absolutely crucial.

-Captain Bligh?

-Oh, is it? OK.

-Captain of...

-A ship.

-A ship. What's that ship called?

-Psycho...

The one with Fletcher Christian on, what's it called?

Psycho would be a film. I presume, the film.

-Could be...

-Or Vinnie Jones.

-Or another footballer.

Oh, hang on, Psycho was Stuart Pearce. Sorry.

Diabetes, I know a bit about diabetes.

-You do know about that, don't you?

-Shall we pick Diabetes?

-Yeah, I'm happy with that.

-Yes.

-OK, we'll start with Diabetes.

-Oh, dear.

-I've never heard it called that.

-Never.

-I've never heard of that name for any condition,

whether it be diabetes or anything else.

-But there's two types of diabetes as well.

-That's right.

So, I'm inclined to dismiss that.

-Not sure but...

-Yeah.

-My inclination is...

That's the best we've got on this, I think, so...

-We dismissed Ulmer, so let's dismiss Dalton.

-OK.

-Yeah? We're going to discard that as an incorrect answer.

-Yes.

There we are, it's out of the game. Can't come back to that now.

It leaves us with William Bligh and Psycho,

so which one do you want to open?

-We don't know much about William Bligh, do we?

-No.

So, Psycho.

-The Bounty, that was the ship.

-Oh, right, OK.

But how much can there be about that?

Which do we know more about, Psycho or William Bligh?

-Well, it depends what the Psycho refers to.

-Yeah.

Well, it might be Stuart Pearce.

It could be, I've got an inkling it might be that. Let's give that a go.

-Let's go Psycho.

-Let's try Psycho.

We'll open the question behind Psycho, please.

Oh, well, that's...

-That's a James Bond film.

-Is it?

-It's the last one, they had a big...

Big thing in Mexico and they've held,

-they've recreated it as an actual event.

-Have they?

-Yeah, so Psycho's wrong.

-That would be Spectre, would it?

Erm, what was the last one called? Yeah, Spectre.

Fairly confident on that.

Well, I can't remember anything in Psycho to do with Mexico City.

But also, if it's been in October 2016 and the opening of a film,

or the opening scene. Yeah, what's the opening scene in Psycho?

I've no idea, but it's black and white.

-Seems unlikely.

-Hotel? Yeah, I think that's wrong.

So, what we're looking for now is the correct answer.

Uh, got to be William Bligh, hasn't it?

-Let's hope for a Desiree moment.

-Yeah!

-OK.

Well, let's have our Des'ree moment now. Lock it in.

That's locked in now,

we can't change it, but we can have a look at the question and...

-Do we have to?

-Hope it makes us feel the way Des'ree did.

We are floundering our way through this.

We are flipping and flopping our way through this.

It doesn't matter, doesn't matter how you get there

as long as you get there.

Let's have a look at the question behind William Bligh.

Needs to be on The Bounty.

If I had seen those three all out like that,

that would have been the one I would have picked.

But it doesn't mean it's right, obviously.

You can't ask for much more than that.

-Is William Bligh the correct answer?

-Come on, William.

Come on, Bill.

-Got it!

-Oh.

Got it. Wow, long way round.

-Lesley?

-Very well done.

Yes, Joe, you had lots of great information about this one.

You remembered that William Bligh was associated with The Bounty.

He was appointed governor in 1805 but took up the post in 1806.

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

Psycho, again, great collaboration, lots of great information

and logic that helped to you dismiss this as the wrong answer.

Nick, you remembered that Psycho opens with

a skyline zooming in on a hotel.

I could see that you had that in your mind's eye.

And you also remembered the opening scene of the correct answer

-which is Spectre, the James Bond film.

-Well done.

You said James Bond film, Joe, you said Spectre

and that's the correct answer.

Diabetes not correct for Daltonism.

-Daltonism is the red-green form of colour blindness.

-Oh.

Spectre, knowing that, Nick, out of nowhere. Really good stuff.

I've only been to the cinema twice in the last ten years,

-that was one of the films.

-Well, you picked the right films!

Thank God it wasn't Harry Potter,

otherwise you'd be going home right now.

But you are not, the tour bus continues to roll.

-The rock and roll reprobates...

-Where have we reached now, Matt?

-You are at the gates of the stadium.

-Oh! Blimey, OK.

You've just got six bouncers there waiting, try to keep you out.

And you have to pick the right one to ask,

to see if you can get into the stadium and put on the show.

Because that's what we want to do, we want to open that safe for you.

But we can't do that without choosing a number

to fit into that slot there - two-blank-one.

Think I'm going to go five.

And who's going to go join me at the safe to try it?

-You picked the number, so...

-It's my turn, yes.

OK, Nick, join me at the safe.

Joe and Nick, you've chosen the number five.

If five is the final number, in your code,

you're going to go home today with £4,500.

Nick, are you ready?

-I'm ready, Matt.

-Good.

Punch in the number five.

It's a six-to-one shot, this.

Is it going to be 251?

-BOTH:

-Aw!

HE LAUGHS

A collective sigh. Let's work our way back.

-Never mind.

-Do you know what?

I had a sneaking suspicion you were going to do that.

-I just, I thought for some reason...

-Been so jammy so far.

Well, jammy is one for... Certainly relaxed.

You've got a relaxed approach to the quiz,

but it seems to be working.

Let's be positive, what we've got here

is one digit left in the code to find five numbers.

It's got to be one of those - four, six, eight, nine, zero.

It's got to be up there. And when it pops in, the door will open.

We've just got to keep cracking on with these questions.

What you're doing is working. We'll keep doing that, here we go.

Are you ready? Here are your next three answers.

-Wow.

-Whistleblower, was it a book?

-Wasn't it...?

-Wasn't that to do with Peter Wright?

-Might have been.

-The African Queen, well, presumably the film.

-It could be Billy Ocean.

-Ooh, yes.

-Cos as well as Caribbean Queen,

he also brought out African Queen...

I'm ashamed I didn't come up with that first.

..and European Queen, but only...

-Good point.

-Only one of 'em made the charts, but I doubt it.

If I remember rightly,

The African Queen was Bogart's only Oscar.

Everybody thinks it's Casablanca, but...

And Murderball, is that not the name for wheelchair basketball?

Is it?

I thought it was a bit unusual.

I thought... Isn't it rugby? Rugby?

-It could be wheelchair rugby.

-Yeah.

-Possibly, yeah.

-I was going to say something out of Harry Potter.

-So, we don't really know, basically.

-No.

-Well, that hasn't stopped you so far, to be fair.

-Absolutely.

We have to choose one of those to open. Which one do you fancy?

Will we go with the one we think we know the most about, or...?

-Which is...?

-African Queen.

-Yeah, OK, yeah.

Let's see the question behind The African Queen, please.

Was Lauren Bacall in...

-I'm not sure.

-..African Queen? No, it was...

-No, I don't think...

-Oh, God.

-I think it was Katherine Hepburn, wasn't it?

Yes, I think you're right.

But does that mean that she was involved otherwise?

I've got a feeling Lauren Bacall's a little younger than him,

but that necessarily doesn't mean she wasn't his wife.

But I'm pretty sure Katherine Hepburn

was his co-star in it.

Yes, I think you're right, so...

-So...

-Off with you, we'll dismiss that one, please.

-OK, I love it.

We're going to discard that, with a flick of the wrist...

-It wasn't Billy Ocean, then.

-..and take it out of the game.

It wasn't Billy Ocean.

That leaves us with Whistleblower and Murderball.

-Which one do you want to open next?

-Up to you.

Can we go Murderball because...

-that's a fairly specific term, isn't it?

-And if it's wheelchairs, then...

-Yes.

-We're going to open the question behind Murderball.

Shall we go for that one?

Thinking about it, I originally said basketball, but that's not as

-appropriate for Murderball, is it, as rugby would be?

-Yeah.

-I'm inclined to say...

-Well, I've said wheelchair rugby,

and that says wheelchair rugby, so...

-Shall we lock that one in as the right answer?

-Yeah, go on.

Yeah, let's lock that one in as the right answer.

OK, Joe and Nick, we're going to lock that in as our correct answer.

There it is - can't change that now.

It means we can open the question behind Whistleblower,

see how it makes us feel.

Already pretty confident, I think.

-Oh, no.

-Which you also mentioned before the question came up.

If that bottom one is wheelchair basketball...

Maybe Whistleblower's someone else.

I think Whistleblower... No, Peter Wright was...

-Might have been Anthony Blunt.

-No, no, erm, Whistle...

-It is academic.

-Yeah.

-It is academic.

-True, true.

-So...

-Move on.

-This is for our chance to put in another number,

our sixth number into the matrix, into the keypad,

to see if it is there in the middle spot of your code.

If it goes red...

..you've got to go home.

-Yeah.

-The tour is over.

-Can we not go and watch the football in a pub?

You can do that. That's up to you.

But you won't be with us any more.

-Well, you're welcome to join us.

-That's very kind, I'm a bit busy.

I'd love to. Is Murderball our correct answer?

-Oh.

-Oh!

And again!

I think the surprise is the thing that I'm getting more than anything.

Every time we get a correct answer,

no-one's more surprised than you are!

There was a lot of right logic there, though, wasn't there?

There was a lot of...

-Too much!

-Too much logic.

Too much perspective. Lesley.

Yes, the word Murderball really rang bells for you as soon as

you saw it, even more so once you had the question.

You were comfortable that that was a term for wheelchair rugby.

Apparently, they changed it because Murderball

sounds too aggressive, and they wanted something a bit calmer,

so it's now known as wheelchair rugby. Very well done.

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

Now, I think if you'd picked Whistleblower before you

picked the others, you may have come unstuck,

because you remembered even before the question came up

the association between Whistleblower and Peter Wright.

There are books called Whistleblower,

but they've got nothing to do with this.

The correct answer is Spycatcher.

-Oh, yes, of course.

-Oh, yes.

We didn't even think about that being a possibility, did we?

Well, that's always a good idea on The Code, is to think about

what could be the answer if it's not the one on the board.

Now, The African Queen, you had lots of great information about this one.

Joe, you remembered that The African Queen was

Katherine Hepburn, and you even told us that

Humphrey Bogart won his only acting Oscar for that film.

The correct answer is To Have And Have Not.

-Mm-hm.

-Right, we have

four, six, eight, nine, zero.

One of them has to be in that last spot there.

But which one's it going to be next? Which one are we going to try?

Well, I'm a lover of patterns, so I'd probably go with number nine,

I should think, just to...

-To even it all up?

-Yeah.

-Make it nice and symmetrical?

-Absolutely.

-Who's going to join me at the safe?

-Er, I think it's my turn, Matt.

-Joe, let's go.

-Thank you.

Nick and Joe, you've chosen the number nine.

If the number is there in your code as the final number,

then you will take home £4,500 today.

-Joe, are you ready?

-I'm ready, Matt.

-You look ready.

-I'm ready, I was born ready.

Hit the number nine.

Here we go, we're looking for 291.

Put these gentlemen out of their misery.

Can it be right? Can it be...

..nine that's missing from the final box of your code?

For £4,500...

THEY CHEER AND LAUGH

-Thank you very much! Thank you very much!

-Oh, listen, listen...

-Thank you very much.

-Phenomenal effort.

-Can we buy you a drink?

-Yes!

Well, you'd better take the money first, you'd better take the money.

Right, reach in, open the safe...

-Have a look in there, what can you see?

-Oh, wow!

Er, I can see a lot of cash.

-That's yours, take it!

-Thank you very much.

-Come on in, Nick.

-All right, OK, thanks.

-There you go.

-Look at that.

-Right...

-Here we go.

-Well done, I'd never have gone for nine.

Just so we're clear,

locked in there all along was your code.

-This is your Derren Brown moment, isn't it?

-2-9-1, look at that.

-Yes.

-Look! There you go, you can keep that. That's your code.

-How do you feel?

-Over the moon!

-You got there in six questions.

-Yep.

-We're very lucky.

-Very lucky.

-Very lucky!

That is the shortest we've had this series, so you got there...

The tour bus took a very efficient route, you didn't muck about at all.

It was all planned, obviously.

Yeah, clearly, clearly. Lesley, how about that?

Brilliant, yes, what a journey you've been on

to get to that destination.

-I'm so glad that you've won.

-Thank you.

-Well, what can I say?

You've rocked and rolled your way to £4,500.

You did it in the most relaxed manner, I think,

of any team we have ever had on the show so far. Congratulations.

-Thank you very much.

-I have to say, you have cracked the code.

-You've managed to do it, Joe.

-Thank you very much.

-And Nick.

-Thank you, Matt.

We wish you all the very best, and we have to say goodbye. Off you pop.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you, Matt.

Thank you very much, Lesley.

INAUDIBLE SPEECH

Wow! Big congratulations to our rock and roll reprobates, Joe and Nick,

who walk away with £4,500.

They're our third team of the series to win.

The jackpot's gone. That means a fresh £3,000 goes into the safe.

So, let's see if our next team can do what Joe and Nick have done,

and crack the code.

Here we go. All right there?

-Lovely to see you. Clive, how are you?

-I'm good, thanks, I'm good.

-Denise?

-Hello.

-Good to see you there.

-And Dave.

-Hello.

-There we go.

Now, tell me, first of all, how do you all know each other?

Erm, we're a family team,

so this is my mum, and this is my dad,

-and I'm obviously their son.

-That does make sense.

And where are you guys all from?

Erm, well, I live just on the outskirts of Manchester.

-And we live in Bridlington.

-What do you do?

I work at a major airport, and I work in the valet parking operation.

People must be so glad to see you with their keys when they come home.

Absolutely, yeah, picking up, they're always pleased to be, er,

-to be picking up and going home.

-I bet, I bet.

And how about you guys? Dave, what do you do?

Er, I'm retired. The best job.

MATT LAUGHS

-What does it free you up to do?

-I love dancing.

We ballroom dance together,

and Morris dancing is one of our big interests.

If you were going to sell Morris dancing to me,

what would you say, Denise?

How would you say, "This is what we get from it?"

It's tremendous fun, it's good exercise,

you get to travel to all sorts of places,

and it's just a joy to see people's faces when you're dancing.

-Did you catch the bug at all, Clive?

-Not for dancing, no.

I kind of tend to be in the music-related things.

I used to play for the team, but I play bass guitar in a rock band.

Excellent, what's the name of the rock band?

-It's called Crash Landing.

-Excellent. Well, look,

you probably noticed two gentlemen staggering past you with £4,500.

That was Nick and Joe,

and they did succeed in taking away the jackpot.

That means we start again with a fresh £3,000.

All you have to do is crack the code.

So, let's reset the code.

Three blanks. You just have to turn those into three numbers.

If you are ready, Clive, Denise and Dave,

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

So we'll start at the top,

with the question behind Ponzi Scheme.

Right, I've never heard of Bernie Madoff or Allen Stanford,

but I know exactly what a Ponzi Scheme is.

It is a fraudulent financial investment scheme, erm...

-There is also pyramid selling, though.

-Yeah.

Ponzi Scheme was named after Ponzi, who was the first...

And it's something to do with giving the profits back to people,

erm, while taking new investments.

And the new investments pay the profits to the new...

OK, so therefore it could be, couldn't it?

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

It's definitely not Dodgeball.

-It's definitely not that, I believe it's swingball.

-Swingball.

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

Willow! Strip the Willow!

THEY LAUGH

I need from you a correct answer from those three.

-Which one is it going to be to lock in?

-We're going to...

I'm confident it's not Dodgeball, I'm confident it's not Bed,

so, erm, I'm confident in what a Ponzi Scheme is,

so I would be happy, Skipper, to go with Ponzi Scheme.

-I think we will be going with Ponzi Scheme.

-Dave has given his consent.

OK, we want to lock in Ponzi Scheme as our correct answer.

If it is correct, it will turn green.

It will give you the chance to enter your first number into the code,

see if it's there. If it's incorrect,

I'm afraid it's red and you are dancing all the way home.

Now, is Ponzi Scheme our correct answer?

All the way, never in doubt, well done. Lesley.

Yes, Clive, you led the way with this question.

You remembered that the Ponzi Scheme is named after

Ponzi, Charles Ponzi, who was responsible for

a scheme in 1920 that defrauded its investors of 20 million.

That's not adjusted for inflation,

that was an awful lot of money at the time.

Dodgeball, that's not the right answer.

You gave the correct answer almost in unison there. Swingball.

There's a similar game called Bumblepuppy as well.

And Bed, not the correct answer. I thought you might get this one.

You were very confident, you said the correct answer, that is Willow.

Strip the Willow.

Stripping the bed is a little bit different,

and doesn't usually involve dancing, though sometimes dealing with

the duvet cover can be a bit of a performance.

Thank you so much, Lesley.

Well, listen, a cracking start.

You are off the blocks very well, not just knowing the correct answer

but also finding the answers to the ones that weren't right there.

It now means, here we are, look!

We get the chance to use the keypad to find out if there's

a number in there that's also in our code. What's the plan here?

-Who's selecting?

-Apparently it's me.

-Right.

-They say that I'm more lucky.

-Lucky Dave?

-Mm. I'm just going to dive in there.

-OK, which one do you fancy, then?

-I am going to go for number five.

The number five. Is Lucky Dave going to choose the right number?

Is it there in our code, in the first box?

No, is it there in the second box?

-Oh.

-Oh!

-Slap bang in the middle.

That was quite lucky, Dave.

THEY LAUGH

Well done, so you have your first number in the code.

Blank, five, blank.

Off to an absolutely ripping start.

HOOTER BLARES

But sadly, that sound means we have run out of time,

so you won't be cracking the code today,

but please will you come back tomorrow, have another crack?

-Oh, yeah.

-Absolutely.

-Hope so too.

Thank you, Lesley, for all of your fantastic knowledge.

-You're welcome, and may I say, exemplary hosting, Matt.

-Thank you!

-Well, I do my best.

-We try.

Please join us again tomorrow and find out if

Clive, Denise and Lucky Dave can work their way to

unlocking that safe and taking home £3,000.

Thank you so much for watching, and goodbye.
