Episode 14 The Code

Hello, and welcome to The Code. Locked in this safe is £3,000.

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, our family of three - Clive, Denise and Dave -

had answered one question

and immediately picked one number in their code - the number five -

before we ran out of time. So, let's get them back.

They're back.

-Couldn't keep you away.

-True.

-HE CHUCKLES

-Clive, good to see you again.

-Hi there.

Denise, looking lovely.

-And, Dave, how are you? All right?

-Good, thank you.

-Right, been swotting up between the programmes?

-Little bit.

-A little bit, yeah.

-Yeah.

-Good. Glad to hear it.

Now, let's remind ourselves a little bit about you.

-Clive, we know you work in the airport...

-I do indeed.

-..and you come from Manchester.

-Mm-hm.

-And, Denise and Dave, you're in Bridlington...

-Mm-hm.

..and we know you are very keen Morris dancers.

-This is true.

-That's true.

Now, so far, your attempt to crack the code

is going terribly, terribly well,

but before we remind ourselves exactly where we are,

let's reintroduce ourselves to our bright spark, Lesley Brewis.

Hello. It's lovely to see you again.

Do you know, you're our first dad, mum and son team on The Code?

-Another record.

-I've got my fingers crossed for you. Good luck.

-Thank you.

-Hopefully, that will be the magic that we need.

That's the combination that we need to get you there.

OK, let's remind ourselves where we are.

Dave, you managed to pick the number five. There it was.

Lucky Dave picked five front and centre, right in the middle.

That does mean that the quiz

now gets that little bit trickier.

As before, you've got three answers up there, but this time,

only two questions will be revealed

before you have to make a decision and commit.

-Are we all clear?

-We are.

-Absolutely.

Your next three answers.

Which would you like

-to see first?

-What do we fancy?

Um, opera - don't know much about it,

other than the browser.

Opera's a bit sort of...

hmm. We used to live in Essex.

-Yeah.

-I thank the fact we used to live...

-Yeah, go on. Give Essex a try.

-OK.

-Essex first.

We're going to have a look at the question behind Essex.

Almost 100% certain that that's the right answer.

I was just going to say, I think that's right, yeah.

Epping Forest is not on the border of any other county

-that borders London.

-No.

-It's not on the border of Middlesex.

-OK.

Certainly not Kent. Yeah.

Glad you feel so strongly, but... THEY LAUGH

-Yeah, no, no, no.

-It's fantastic.

Listen, let's take it.

Should we wait till we get another question?

Well, you don't have to be quite as blind.

You can still have another look and reveal another question.

So, what shall we go for next?

-First, I would say.

-First, yeah.

OK, the question behind First, please.

You would be in second place, wouldn't you?

If you've overtaken second place,

-yeah.

-Yeah.

Are we happy to lock in Essex?

THEY LAUGH

-I like it.

-I think we might, yeah.

-Happy to lock in Essex?

-Well, we'll go with the skipper.

-Yeah, absolutely.

-Lucky Dave says Essex. Let's lock it in.

There it is.

Essex is locked in.

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

Oh, I would

have known that. Yeah, education.

-In education?

-Yeah.

Right, this is great.

-So, you feel you're confident about all three of these here.

-Yeah.

And you've locked in the one you're happiest with, which is Essex.

If that turns green, that means it's correct

and you get the chance to pick another number

from your code.

One down, one in there - that's pretty good so far.

Is Essex our correct answer?

-Yay!

-Great stuff.

Never in any doubt whatsoever, was it, Lesley?

Not at all. I think this was a good set for you.

Having lived in Essex, you knew exactly where Epping Forest is.

Epping is at the eastern end of the Central line.

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

When this came up, you read it through a couple of times

and worked out that that's not the correct answer.

It's second because you'd need to overtake the first-place person

in order to be first.

And the last one, Opera - you couldn't see the question,

but it didn't matter because when it popped up,

you knew that it was education. Well done.

Indeed. It was terrific.

I mean, you knew all of those with no problem at all

and you did us the great favour of choosing the right one first.

If you could do that in future,

that would help us with the quiz immensely.

-Yes.

-Thank you very much.

But, anyway, questions - let's put those behind us.

At the moment, we've got to deal with numbers. Dave.

Now, last time out, you managed to pick the number five,

and there it sits in the middle of your code.

Can you do this again?

I can't pick number five, but I'll have a go at picking the right one.

OK, which one are you going to plump for this time?

I'm going to go for six.

The number six. Is it up there in the code?

Let's have a look in the first box.

Oh, my goodness. THEY LAUGH

Wow.

-Wow!

-Two for two. Lucky Dave.

-Yeah!

-It's that simple, isn't it?

-It's going to be a new nickname for me, you realise.

-Lucky Dave.

You've given us six-five-blank as the code.

Three questions, three numbers -

the door swings open and you've got £3,000.

That's the good news.

The not-so-great news is that now that we have just one number,

the quiz becomes very tricky indeed.

All three answers are up there,

but you can only open the questions one at a time

before you have to commit to that question

and say right or wrong.

OK, your next three answers, please.

Only one correct answer.

-That's the one we're looking for.

-OK.

-Right.

Glenn McGrath is an Australian cricketer.

-A fast bowler.

-Yeah.

Took hundreds of test match wickets.

Bohemia's sort of Czechoslovakia

-area. Monday?

-Monday -

-day of the week.

-Yeah, a day of the week.

-Cricket for you?

-Yeah, go on, then.

-Yeah.

Strong point for you, we hope, Clive.

It could be. It could be.

-All depends.

-Right, OK.

Please reveal the question behind Glenn McGrath.

It's incorrect.

Muttiah Muralitharan is the cricketer

-who holds the record for most Test wickets taken.

-Right.

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

-That's what you want to do?

-Yes.

-Yeah, Clive's our expert on that.

That's it. It's discarded.

Which one would you like to see next?

-I thought Monday.

-Monday.

-Monday - we've got the widest chance.

-OK.

Let's reveal the question behind Monday.

Oh, crikey. Erm, yeah...

-Black Monday...

-Yeah, it rings...

It rings something, yeah.

Black Friday, obviously, is the sales.

But Black Friday's not the answer, no.

At risk of, with Bohemia,

-and knowing nothing about it...

-Yeah.

..what call do you feel we need to make?

-And I think...

-Yeah, I think we've...

..it's a feasible call.

It's certainly a day of the week.

-BOTH LAUGH

-That isn't entirely helpful.

It can follow "black". It's a nickname.

Black Monday.

Tell me what you want to do now.

Yeah, we're going to go for Monday...

-Go for Monday as the correct answer.

-..for the Black Monday.

We're going to put in Monday.

OK, it's locked in.

Can't change that now.

That means we can look at the question behind Bohemia,

and we're hoping now - hoping against hope -

that that looks and feels like an incorrect answer.

And it doesn't say Czechoslovakia.

Well, let's find out.

I can't say I've any knowledge about that at all.

Does that make you feel one way or the other?

-No.

-No.

-It doesn't sound right.

Both, I think, are equally feasible in my knowledge, so...

-So, it's still a 50-50, even when you can see the question?

-Yeah.

-OK.

Well, it's academic.

-We've locked in Monday.

-Yeah, yeah.

I think we'd have gone for it anyway.

-I think we'd have still gone for Monday, in any case.

-OK.

We want it to be correct for you

so you get the chance to step up to the safe,

try another digit in,

and be, possibly, our first team

to crack the code in three questions.

That's what we would love to happen.

Just getting it right would be good.

Is Monday the correct answer?

-No.

-Aw.

No, no.

-SHE EXHALES

-Yeah, no.

-OK, let's have a look.

Which was the correct answer?

-Yeah, it was...

-It was Bohemia.

You were right with that 50-50.

Glenn McGrath - you were all over that.

-So, yeah, we really didn't know those two, so...

-No, no, can't...

Lesley.

Yes, Bohemia, the correct answer there.

The Good King Wenceslas, as in the hymn - a 10th-century duke

who was murdered and then venerated as a saint.

Now, the Monday question. Black Monday was in 1987.

You mentioned Black Friday, as well, when you were deliberating.

There are lots of Black Fridays, but the one you were talking about

was the shopping day in November.

The correct answer here is Black Wednesday.

-Never heard of it, so...

-No, sorry.

No, obviously, that's it.

Fair enough, we didn't know them.

Black Wednesday - Norman Lamont was chancellor at the time.

Sterling had entered the ERM two years previously.

Norman Lamont, Chancellor of the Exchequer under John Major.

And the top question.

Clive, you had a lot of good information about this one.

It's not Glenn McGrath.

The correct answer, as you said, is Muttiah Muralitharan.

Thank you, Lesley. What can I say, guys?

It was a short but terrifically exciting journey

that we went on together.

I mean, you couldn't have been more successful

in a very short space of time,

but, unfortunately, that is the way it works.

When the wrong question comes up, what can you do about it?

-There's nothing you can do.

-No.

-Clive, Denise and Dave.

What number, Lucky Dave, would you have chosen?

-It was going to be number nine.

-It was going to be the number nine.

Right, here we go. Is your code six-five-nine?

Would you have done it in just three questions?

-No.

-Oh!

-So, you wouldn't have.

It would have taken you that little bit longer to do.

Anyway, OK. Well, we were on the verge of something amazing.

-They can't take that away from us.

-They can't.

Clive, Denise and Dave, it's been such a joy

having you together as a family here on the show.

But I have to say, on this occasion,

you failed to crack the code and so we have to say goodbye to you.

Thank you so much.

And good luck with all of your Morris dancing. Lovely to see you.

-Thanks for having us.

-Take care, Dave.

-Bye-bye, now. Thank you.

There they go, dancing off into the distance to the sound of tiny bells.

But their loss is our next team's gain

because the jackpot now goes higher.

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

Here they come. Good to see you.

-Neil, how are you?

-Hi, I'm well, thanks.

-Nice to see you. And Bhupinder.

-Bhupinder, yeah.

Good to see you. Now, what do you guys do?

How do you know each other?

We both work for the same engineering company in Wakefield.

And what does it do?

Makes big, large boilers for things like power stations, ships,

large factories all over the world.

And so, these days, we're having to be smarter with energy,

-aren't we, and using better ways?

-We use, like, waste energy,

like burning rubbish and using the heat from that to generate steam.

That sounds terrifically exciting.

Why did you choose to come on together as a team?

We have some quiz, like, afternoons at work.

Regular quiz afternoons at work, yeah.

-OK.

-I'm not very good at quiz, actually,

but I will try my best to use my intuition

to get the right answer.

Well, let me tell you, the team before you,

unfortunately, they failed to crack the code,

which is not such great news for them,

but it's terrific for you because it means another £500

is added to the pot,

and that takes us up to £3,500.

That's quite handy. Yeah, not bad at all.

If you're ready, let's reset the code.

Three blips.

You want to turn those into three numbers -

the three unique numbers of your code.

If you do that, you'll open the safe and you can take away the money.

If you're ready, Neil and Bhupinder,

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

We'll start at the top.

The question behind Pyrenees, please.

-Not the Pyrenees.

-I don't know. Not really sure.

-Not the Pyrenees.

Your feeling it's not the Pyrenees?

-I've driven under it on the way back from Italy...

-OK.

-..and I didn't come through the Pyrenees, I don't think.

-OK.

We can move on, anyway.

Have a look at the question behind Stig, please.

Stig Of The Dump, probably, is what it's referring to,

but whether it's a novel by Clive King...

Then there is a possibility that this could be the answer.

-A possibility, yeah.

-Yeah, yeah.

-It has a feeling about it?

-Yeah, yeah.

-Let's have a look at the question behind Mop.

I'm thinking of Basil Brush here.

-Yeah.

-Brush is not a mop.

But was Basil Brush a fox?

I don't think

-a fox's tail is a mop.

-OK. Let's go, then, with Stig, yeah?

OK, which one do you want to lock in?

We would like to lock Stig.

If it is the correct answer,

it will turn green.

It will give you the chance to choose a number

and see if it's there in your code to get you going.

Is Stig our correct answer?

-Yes.

-Well done. Good start.

-Lesley?

-Very good start.

-Yeah, yeah.

Yes, Neil, you were leading the way on that set of questions.

You even mentioned Stig Of The Dump when you were discussing the answer.

That's the name of the book by Clive King.

There's a caveman at the bottom of the garden in that novel.

And the Pyrenees, they're not the right answer.

Neil, you remembered from driving

that the correct answer's not the Pyrenees, but the Alps.

Mont Blanc literally meaning white mountain

on the border of France and Italy,

the Pyrenees being the Iberian Peninsula and France.

And the Mop question - excellent work from Neil there,

remembering Basil Brush,

and that Mop couldn't possibly be the answer to this question.

It is brush. Basil Brush coming from the brush of a fox's tail.

Well done. Good start.

So, what we've done there, by answering that question correctly,

is buy ourselves a chance to choose the first number

from the keypad and see if it's there in our code.

Is there a plan, Bhupinder?

Yeah, the plan is that we would select the number

that would not be there in the code.

OK. So, which one do you think isn't there, then?

-I will go for zero, yes.

-Zero, you don't think is in your code.

We don't want to see it up there in box number one. Is it there?

It isn't. Is zero in the middle box?

-It's not.

-Good.

And let's hope it's not in that third box either.

-No. Well done.

-It's definitely working.

Skilfully avoided. The plan is working.

OK, that means we're still at that easy level.

Are you ready for your next three answers?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Let's see them.

The order doesn't matter, so we'll start at the top -

the question behind Haunted.

Could be, yeah. I have a feeling that this could be an answer.

-I recognise...

-Yeah, because...

-I can picture it.

Yeah, I remember that Nicole Kidman played a movie

-that was a ghost, so...

-Yeah.

..it could be that it was this movie.

-OK.

-Just whether it was called Haunted.

-Yeah.

Well, we can see all three questions.

-Shall we move on and see the one behind Halloween?

-Yes.

-OK.

I don't think it's Halloween.

-But there might be a possibility for it.

-Yeah.

Because it's the end of summer, as well.

-Well, end of October, isn't it?

-Yeah, but...

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

Maybe that will help.

I'm not going to sing them, but I don't think it was Heatwave.

I'm trying to think of the name of the band, but...

I feel like Haunted wasn't a movie and a TV show,

so I don't think Haunted is the right answer.

So, Heatwave?

-Not sure?

-I don't think it was Heatwave.

I think Halloween should be the right answer.

I have a feeling, yeah? So...

-Yeah.

-What do you think, Neil?

-So, Haunted...

-It could be that.

-I'd personally go Haunted.

-I'm sure, cos Halloween is the end of October.

-OK.

Festival end of summer -

is it not too late?

-31st of October?

-OK. "And a later film starring..."

So, it was a film, as well, starring...

So, Nicole Kidman was in that film...

-Yeah.

-..which was first a TV show.

-Yeah.

-But was it called Haunted?

-That makes sense.

Well, I'm not sure what it was called,

but they were ghosts, so...

-Yeah.

-It could be Haunted. Makes sense.

I think we should go for Haunted.

Yeah, I think we will go for Haunted.

You're going to lock in Haunted

-as your correct answer?

-Yeah, yeah.

If it's correct, you get the chance to put in another digit there,

trying to avoid the code.

Is Haunted our correct answer?

-Oh!

-No, it's not the correct answer.

Let's find out which one it was.

It was Halloween.

You kind of talked yourselves out of that one a little bit, didn't you?

-Lesley.

-Oh, I'm so sorry.

Yes, I think summer threw you there

because you decided that Halloween couldn't be the end of the summer

-because it's at the end of October.

-Yeah.

It was a time when gods were thought to play tricks on humans,

making it quite a dangerous period.

Then, Haunted - the one that you settled on as the correct answer -

I think you might be thinking of the film The Others.

-Yeah, it was The Others.

-That has Nicole Kidman.

A film with an interesting twist at the end that I shan't give away.

Spoilers. The correct answer is Bewitched.

Elizabeth Montgomery also played Samantha

in an episode of The Flintstones.

And Heatwave - not the correct answer here.

Heatwave had a hit with Boogie Nights,

but the band that had these hits was...?

-Matt's got his hand up.

-Earth, Wind & Fire.

Earth, Wind & Fire.

-Did you know it?

-Once she said it, yeah.

-Oh, OK.

Bad luck there. I'm really sorry that you came unstuck

on those questions.

Thank you, Lesley.

-Well, look at it this way - we have had a terrific time.

-Yeah.

-You made it past the first question...

-Yeah.

..and successfully avoided any numbers in the code,

-and that was the plan.

-Yeah.

So, Neil and Bhupinder, I have to say, though, sadly,

you have failed to crack the code,

so, on this occasion, we have to say goodbye to you.

-It's lovely to meet you.

-Thanks, Matt.

-Take care.

-Thank you very much.

-Cheers, Bhupinder. Take care.

Well, Neil and Bhupinder - experts in recycling energy.

Unfortunately, they became recycled rather too quickly.

However, their loss is our next team's gain,

because the jackpot now goes even higher.

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

Here they are in arrow formation.

How are you doing, Stuart, David, Jonathan? Good to see you.

-Well, how do you know each other?

-Identical triplets.

You're identical triplets!

What do you do? Let's start with you, Stuart.

Well, I'm a travel advisor, so, really,

anything to do with a map and sorting people's itineraries out.

Anything to do with travel would suit me down to the ground.

-So, you could take me all over the world?

-Well, I hope so.

Right. And how about you?

I'm a project planner, so I work here, there and everywhere.

-Just wherever a plan needs to be put in place, I go.

-OK.

So, we're good with geography here.

-How about you, Jonathan?

-I work for a politics magazine.

I'm in charge of all the advertising and the lobbying.

Any group that wants to lobby, they come to me.

-Wow. So, that's politics sorted out, as well.

-Oh, yes.

-This is fantastic.

We have a triple threat here. THEY LAUGH

We have got different spheres of understanding.

Now, Neil and Bhupinder, the team before you,

had a very quick entrance and exit, I'm afraid.

It is good news for you, though, because it means

that we add another £500 to the pot,

and that makes a total of £4,000.

THEY LAUGH Let's reset the code.

Three blanks, that's what we've got. Not that you are three blanks.

For from it!

We want to turn those into three numbers -

the three numbers of your code.

If you do that, then the safe will open and the money is all yours.

If you're ready,

Stuart, David and Jonathan, your first three answers.

We'll start at the top.

The question behind Fox Hunting, please.

-I think that's...

-Grouse hunting.

-..grouse hunting.

The Glorious Twelfth.

-12th of August, isn't it?

-Shooting, isn't it?

-It's not fox hunting, is it?

-I don't think so, no.

-Hopefully, that's it.

-Excellent.

Let's move on to the question

behind March.

-There's 31 in January, 28 in Feb, so what's that?

-So, that's 90.

-59.

So, it's three months and ten days.

So, 25th of December.

January, February, March.

The 25th plus ten would go

into April, wouldn't it?

96 - I calculate it to April.

I would think beginning of April.

OK, are we all in agreement on that one?

-Yes.

-OK.

Let's have a look, then, at the question behind Ers.

-We're not cricket fans...

-I've not heard this.

..but Blowers does sound vaguely familiar, so...

-And Aggers sounds...

-Shall we just check those numbers in March again?

-So, it was in...

-Six days in December.

-Six plus 37.

-47, 57, 67. 65.

-Yes.

-Erm, 96.

-Yes.

-So, that is April.

-Yes.

So, I think it has to be.

-By a process of elimination, I think we'll go for Ers.

-OK.

-Are we all in agreement there?

-I think we are.

-OK.

If it is the correct answer,

Stuart, David and Jonathan will be able to put in

the first number into their code

to see if it's there, but we need it to go green.

Is Ers our correct answer?

-Yay!

-Wow.

-Well done. Good start, gentlemen. Well done.

Lesley.

Yes, very well done. Synchronised quizzing.

A triple threat to the code here.

The suffix -ers - you said exactly about Blowers and Aggers,

all coming in at once confirming that that was the correct answer.

Henry Blofeld and Jonathan Agnew.

And you were in unison, too, with the fox hunting question.

You knew not only that it was wrong, but also gave the correct answer,

which is grouse shooting, specifically red grouse shooting.

And you told us the date - the 12th of August.

For March, that's the wrong answer.

It was very sensible of you to work out exactly where

the 100th day would fall to confirm that March was the wrong answer.

The correct answer is April.

It's on the 4th of April or the 3rd in a leap year.

Thank you, Lesley. Yes,

it was fascinating to see you work there, guys.

It was a combined effort.

And now a chance to enter a number into the keypad

to see if it's there in the code. Who's going to decide on this one?

-Shall I go first?

-Yeah, go on.

-Three, as we're triplets?

-Number three, please.

-OK.

We're going to start with the three. Quite understandable. Here it goes.

Is the number three there in our code?

Let's have a look in the first box.

-ALL:

-Ooh!

Well, it was meant to be. It was quite clearly meant to be.

Fantastic.

One number chosen, one number in the box - in the first box.

We are not messing around today.

That means, however, that things do become a little bit trickier.

As before, we get to see all three answers, but this time,

you only get to see two questions before you have to commit

-to what you feel is the correct answer. OK?

-OK.

If you are ready, let's have a look at your next three answers.

The order in which you choose these now does become more important.

Nothing... Really much of a muchness.

Nothing jumps out.

-I mean, Bed, possibly.

-Possibly. What about Bath?

-It could Bath the place.

-Or what's Light Supper?

-It could be snack food.

-Yeah.

I mean, food, possibly. I like food.

-Maybe that's good. But Bed?

-Try Bed?

-Ooh, no.

-It's very general, isn't it?

-Shall we go for Bath first?

-I don't mind.

-OK.

-Take Bath first.

-The question behind Bath, please.

There must be an A, mustn't there?

British city? Aberdeen.

-British. Yeah, Aberdeen is before that.

-Aberdeen maybe.

What do you think?

-Yeah, that's OK.

-OK, we'll go for Light Supper, please.

Light Supper, please.

Six o'clock? Is that The One Show?

Six o'clock? That's on at seven.

-Oh, it's on at seven, isn't it?

-Seven.

-After the news.

-Do you know any shows...?

-1998, it was quite new.

-Light Lunch.

-What else is on at 6pm?

-I've never heard of Light Supper, have you?

No, I haven't. What about...?

-It's the news or...

-Moved from...

A quiz or Hollyoaks?

Was it some sort of news programme?

-What else is on at six? Have we got the news?

-Light Lunch.

-Eggheads.

-Hang on, sorry, what...?

-Hollyoaks.

No, Hollyoaks is 6.30, isn't it?

-Sorry, it's a TV show called Light Lunch?

-Never heard of it.

-It's probably wrong, isn't it?

-Well, the only thing,

they're analogous in terms of meaning - Light Lunch.

-But I never heard of it.

-But I don't think Light Supper...

-No, I think it's probably wrong.

-Have you heard of Light Lunch?

-Never heard of either.

-Never heard of either.

So, 6pm, we'd probably hear about it.

-We'd see it in the TV guide.

-Yeah, we've never heard of it.

We've never heard of it, so we're going to have to lock in Bed,

-I think.

-Bed.

-Bed.

-Happy to lock in Bed?

-Yes.

There it is.

We can't change that now,

but we can have a look at the question,

and, hopefully, it's a question you're going to look at and go,

"Yes, thank goodness!"

The question behind Bed.

-It's a bed.

-In a bed.

-New York.

-And was it Oslo or Amsterdam?

-Was it?

I think it was one of those two cities.

But it was definitely a bed.

So, we are happy with the choice you've made?

-Must have been a comfortable bed.

-THEY LAUGH

It must have been, for all that time.

OK, what we now need to do is see it turn green,

and Team Triple Threat get to choose another digit from the keypad.

Maybe we'll get lucky again. Is Bed our correct answer?

Well done. Well worked through.

-Lesley.

-Yes, well done.

Stuart, you had the right idea about this one.

They spent that time in bed at the Amsterdam Hilton,

and there was a later bed-in in Montreal.

It was intended as a protest against war.

The other answers - when Bath came up, Stuart, you said Aberdeen,

and that is the correct answer.

Bath is the first city in alphabetical order in England,

Aberdeen, in the UK.

And Light Supper.

I thought, for a moment, this one might trip you up,

but you decided that you hadn't heard

of a programme called Light Supper.

Light Lunch changed its name to Late Lunch.

-Ah.

-I think, when you were discussing that question,

you were starting from the point of view that it might be

-a current programme, but it's almost 20 years ago.

-ALL:

-Oh!

-And it featured Mel and Sue.

-Exactly.

Famous now for The Great British Bake Off.

Thank you, Lesley. Fantastic work, guys.

It's magic watching you work these questions through - it really is -

and coming up with the right answers so far, without fail.

So, what that does - it earns us the right to choose another number.

Now, last time, Jonathan, you chose three, for pretty obvious reason.

The power of three is what we're experiencing here.

Where are we going to go next?

-Maybe number nine.

-Number nine. Multiples of three.

Three by three gives us nine. Is nine there in our code?

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

No number nine, OK?

But it's not a bad thing to be dismissing numbers

and staying at a relatively easy stage of the quiz.

OK, we're going to move on. The next three answers, please.

-Which one do you want to start with?

-Where is she from, Vanessa-Mae?

Thailand, she represented in the Olympics.

-She went to the Olympics.

-And then she was a violinist.

-Did she go skiing or not?

-Yeah.

-Oh, right. So, shall we...?

Vanessa-Mae, possibly.

-And then Ireland, cos 100 could be very general.

-Yeah, so maybe...

-Shall we do one by one, then?

-Well, yes.

-Vanessa-Mae.

-Go for Vanessa-Mae first, please.

-OK.

The question behind Vanessa-Mae, please.

I think she was actually at the Eurovision in 1998

in Birmingham, so that's before 2001,

-so whether she would have...

-A busker's licence?

I've never heard of her busking, have you?

But then would she have done that after making a successful career?

-But she was a classical musician.

-Well, possibly not.

-It's difficult to know, isn't it?

-She'd gone busking after...?

It's unlikely, but keep our options open.

-So, do you think Ireland or 100?

-Ireland, yeah.

Probably, cos you like geography.

-Yeah, go for Ireland.

-What do you think?

You'd like to open the question behind Ireland?

-Ireland, please.

-OK, let's do that.

-I think... I think it's right.

-The "Eamon" sounds Irish, but...

-I think I have.

-Have you?

-Have you?

-Yes.

-Really?

-I think I have.

-Sounds Brazilian.

-Well...

-I think I've been reading...

-I mean, cos...

-I think I've been...

-You're sure? That sure?

-Erm...

-Fairly sure.

-I thought it sounded Brazilian.

-Eamon, but...

-What percentage sure are you?

-When was this, though?

-I think I've been reading...

-Cos he's not been recently.

-What percent on plus or minus?

-I don't know about that.

When was this? A long time ago?

-Cos he's not recent, is he?

-No, no, it's not recent.

-I read something about...

-You're 80% plus or minus?

-Yeah, around about that. Erm...

-I've never heard of him.

-No.

I'd never heard of him.

-To me, it sounds Brazilian, but you think...

-I think it's...

-I might be wrong, but I think it's right.

-OK.

-I can't guarantee.

-THEY LAUGH

If we go against it and you're right...

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

-Which one do you want to pick?

-Well, I have to.

-OK.

We're going to have to say...

-Cos we don't know if, 100, we'd get right.

-..Ireland.

It's funny we've never heard of him, but you've definitely...?

-I think I've heard.

-You think you have.

-Shall we lock in Ireland?

-Yes.

-We'll have to.

He's got a hunch. Something's

telling him that Eamon de Valera was the president of Ireland.

Now we can open up the question behind 100.

-Oof!

-Ooh, that's...

-Gosh, that would take some working out, wouldn't it?

-That would take a long time!

-I don't have a clue.

Well, I mean, we can save the working out because it's academic.

At the end of the day, you've locked in Ireland as your correct answer.

Does it make you feel better or worse, though?

It's all on you a little bit, David.

I think I feel OK, but I still don't know.

It would take a long time to add up all those numbers, wouldn't it?

It would. And, actually, it wouldn't make any difference.

We can find out afterwards,

but Ireland is the one that we've plumped for,

and Ireland is the one which we want to go green.

So, is Ireland the correct answer?

Well done, David.

-Good work. Brilliant work. Lesley.

-Yes, going with David's hunch there.

Now, this set of questions - your first real wobble,

but you managed to steer through that

and settle on Ireland as the correct answer.

-Yes, he was president from 1959 to 1973.

-Right.

Vanessa-Mae - you knew that Vanessa-Mae

was connected with Eurovision. She was the interval act in 1998.

The correct answer here is Julian Lloyd Webber,

brother to Andrew, the cellist.

He donated all of the money that he raised to The Prince's Trust.

And 100.

This one, you couldn't see, so the question was a mystery to you,

but you decided that it couldn't be the correct answer.

The correct answer is 50.5.

The quick way of working this one out

is that the sum of numbers between one and any given number -

that number being N - is N x N + 1 divided by 2.

So, 100 multiplied by 101 divided by two is 5,050,

and you divide that by 100 to get 50.5.

That might be the way you work it out,

but that wouldn't help me. ALL LAUGH

Well, another way of working out would be to say 1 + 100,

2 + 99, 3 + 98 and so on, so there are 50 lots of 101.

Work it out that way. That's the long way of doing it.

OK. That's still no good to me at all.

Thank goodness it didn't matter.

We had our answer very quickly there from David,

so we didn't have to bother with maths,

which is always a relief. Fantastic work.

OK, it almost feels to me like,

David, you have earned the right here

to choose another number to see if it's there in the code.

Three and nine have gone.

Eight others remain. Which one you fancy?

-Number six, please.

-The number six. No surprises there.

Another multiple of three.

Is it in our code? Is it there in the second box?

No number six. How about the third and final box?

Ah, the power of three working for you in everything

apart from the numbers, it seems.

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

Julie Andrews to begin with? You like musicals.

Musicals, so Julie Andrews, probably.

Let's have a look at the question behind Julie Andrews.

I think she did cos she didn't get the role in the movie.

But she did it with Rex Harrison on Broadway.

And then the same Broadway cast came to London, to Drury Lane,

to open in London, so that was Julie Andrews again.

An excellent composite answer there from you, gentlemen.

We still can choose to reveal one question

-to give us a bit more confidence.

-South Downs?

-South Downs.

We live near there in Surrey, so...

South Downs. Let's have a look at the question behind South Downs.

-Exmoor?

-Exmoor?

-Cos you've got Cornwall, Devon.

-Cornwall down to Exmoor.

-Yes.

-I think we know this.

We're pretty confident about this one.

-Cornwall's lower than Surrey.

-Yeah, it goes south. Southwest.

-Yeah. So...

-Yes, so it's...

-So, we're happy to lock one of these in already?

-Yes.

-Yes, please.

-Which one is it?

-Julie Andrews.

OK, let's lock in Julie Andrews.

It means we can open up the question

behind Blue Man Group.

-Cirque du Soleil.

-Oh, really?

-Yes.

-Good.

We have a great deal of knowledge here, don't we? This is fantastic.

Let's hope it's all right. Is Julie Andrews our correct answer?

No doubt in your minds whatsoever.

-Lesley.

-This was an excellent question for you,

and you gave a brilliant explanation of why that was the correct answer.

Now, for a Lesley point,

can you tell me who was Audrey Hepburn's singing voice

in the film My Fair Lady?

Marni Nixon.

-LESLEY:

-It was Marni Nixon.

And who was Marni Nixon's son, also a successful singer-songwriter?

-Not sure about that.

-Not sure.

-Cat Stevens?

-It was Andrew Gold.

-As in, Never Let Her Slip Away.

-I didn't know that.

-A really pleasing question for you.

-THEY LAUGH

Now, the Blue Man Group - not the correct answer here.

They WERE street performers,

but the correct answer is Cirque du Soleil,

which, again, you knew.

And finally, South Downs - not the correct answer here.

You all chimed in together with this one, so a good team effort.

The correct answer - Dartmoor in Devon,

which is further south than the South Downs.

-A good team effort.

-Yeah, no kidding.

Lesley, thank you very much.

Well, good stuff, but we've reached a difficult situation here.

There are no more multiples of three to use on the keypad,

and we still have two slots left in the code.

So, who's going to choose the next one and which will it be?

-I'll go next with number five, please, Matt.

-Number five, OK.

The number five. Is it there, Jonathan?

Is it there in our second box?

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

It's not there, but you are knocking these numbers down.

You're working your way through the questions so skilfully,

I just don't think this is going to be a problem. Let's hope not.

Are you ready for your next three answers?

-Yes, please.

-Let's have a look.

-VJ Day is the 15th of August.

-So, VJ. And...

-Aztec is...

-Aztec is South America, Mexico.

-Yeah, yeah.

-I mean, so...?

-So, we'll go with VJ Day first, please.

Let's see the question behind VJ Day.

Well, I know VJ Day's the 15th of August 1945, but...

So, it's a different date, then.

-Oh.

-This is September.

-"Who died."

Died, sorry. Oh, OK.

-So, Greta Zimmer Friedman.

-Friedman.

-That sounds more German-related.

-Oh, it does, doesn't it?

-So, I think that was more like...

-Victory over Japan?

I think that would be Victory in Europe.

-Possibly. Possibly.

-I'd say Victory in Europe - VE Day.

Yes. Which, of course, is the 8th of May.

-So, do you know anything about Line Of Duty?

-No.

-It's a TV series, is it?

-I don't know. Or is it some...?

Maybe Aztec, then.

-I'd go for...

-Yeah, Aztec, please.

Let's have a look at the question behind Aztec, please.

-I thought the Aztec finished before then, didn't it?

-Yeah.

-Weren't they more ancient?

-Yes.

Well, I thought they were ancient, not 19th century.

-Shaka could be Hawaiian or...

-Shaka, yeah.

-In the 1800s, so...

-Yes, Aztecs weren't the 19th century, were they?

-No, no.

That's possibly... So, I think...

-So, that leaves us...

-Leaves Line Of Duty.

Do you want to go back to VJ Day?

I mean, it's possible she's in it, but it sounds like a European name.

So, I would say that's more likely Victory in Europe Day,

-so I think, by the law of...

-She could be American.

-It's possible.

-It's possible.

-I don't know.

-I think we're going to have to...

By a process of elimination, just go for Line Of Duty, do you think?

-Yeah.

-Yes.

-OK.

We haven't seen it

up till now. I'm hoping, when we reveal the question,

there will be a collective sigh of relief.

Let's have a look at the question behind Line Of Duty.

-It's possible.

-We've never seen it, so it doesn't ring a bell at all.

-Sounds plausible.

-Sounds plausible, but that's...

-Never seen Line Of Duty before?

-No.

-OK.

Well, I really hope that this is the correct answer for you guys.

You are flying blind, then, without seeing the question.

You had nothing to judge it by.

Is Line Of Duty our correct answer?

-ALL:

-Oh!

-I'm so sorry.

I thought you were going to steam roller through the whole quiz.

Let's see the correct answer.

-Oh!

-It was. Lesley.

Stuart, David, Jonathan, I'm very sorry.

Stuart, I thought, when you gave the correct date for VJ Day,

which is the 15th of August,

or 14th in America because of the time difference,

that you would nail this one.

I think the important question that you failed to ask yourselves

was about what that photo was.

That's the really famous photo of the sailor kissing the nurse.

-You know the one I mean?

-Oh, yes.

-Yeah. And that was on VJ Day.

Let's look at the wrong answers now. Aztec - good logic on this one.

You decided that the Aztecs were much earlier.

The correct answer is Zulu.

He's seen as the person who built the first Zulu nation.

And Line Of Duty - you weren't familiar with this one.

That is not Line Of Duty, but The Night Manager.

Jonathan Pine, played by Tom Hiddleston.

Lesley, thank you so much.

I'm so sad, honestly. It stopped too soon for me.

You have a unique way of approaching the quiz,

and I thought your collective thoughts

were going to get us there. It's been fascinating to watch,

and you clearly have a great deal of knowledge.

But, Stuart, David, Jonathan, Team Triple Threat,

I'm afraid, on this occasion, you have failed to crack the code,

and so we have to say goodbye to you.

-Thank you so much.

-Thank you.

-Bye-bye.

-Bye-bye.

Wow. One, two, three, and they're gone.

So sad. I thought we were going to see great things there.

However, their loss is our next team's gain

because another £500 is added to the jackpot,

and that means the jackpot now stands at £4,500.

But that's all we have time for today.

Lesley, thank you so much for your expertise and knowledge, as always.

You're very welcome. I really enjoyed Team Triple Threat.

Just really unfortunate that they came up against something

that none of them knew the answer to.

Thank you so much, and thank you.

Be sure to join us next time

when a new team will discover if they have what it takes

to crack the code and win the cash.

Thanks for watching. Goodbye.
