Episode 15 The Code

Hello and welcome to The Code.

Locked in this safe is £4,500.

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. Pauline?

-Hello, lovely to see you.

-And you, and Paul?

-Pleased to meet you, Matt.

-Hey, how are you?

So, where did you come from, you guys?

-We've come from Middlesbrough.

-From Middlesbrough?

-And tell me how you know each other.

-We met about 16, 17 years ago, Matt.

We worked for the same company

that provided photographic packages and we worked in the call centre.

I understand that you are a collector

of something in particular?

Yes, well, I do like to buy a lot of shoes.

So, how many are we talking about, Pauline? How many pairs?

Well, the last time I counted, there was,

counting with boots as well, 73 pairs.

Are you now ready for anything? If the right pair comes along,

would you buy another pair?

Well, I thought I was ready for everything

but when I came to the show, when I got my suitcase out,

I'd come with one shoe.

-So, you had to buy another pair of shoes?

-I had to dash to the shops!

How about you, Paul? Did you buy new shoes for this show?

I've got to be honest, Matt. No, I didn't!

Fantastic, well, you may have seen our last team,

Stewart, David and Jonathan.

They came on, they failed to crack the code,

which is not such great news for them

but it is terrific news for you.

Because it means that we add another £500 to the pot.

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

-We wish you all the very best.

-Thank you.

Now, to open the safe and win £4,500,

you need to enter a three-digit code up there.

Three unique numbers, OK? No doubles.

Every time you pick the right answer

from the three that are being offered,

you can select a number from the keypad there.

The computer will reveal whether or not it's in the code, but be warned.

If at any stage, you pick a wrong answer, that's it,

you're out of the game, instant elimination.

Let's reset the code.

There we go.

Before we go any further, let me introduce our bright spark,

Lesley Brewis.

Hello, welcome to The Code. This is my key piece of advice.

Can't be said often enough. Read the questions carefully,

you'll often find words in there,

information that will lead you in the right direction. Good luck.

-Thank you.

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

At this stage, you get to open all of the questions with them.

The question behind Halfpenny, please.

Right. I have a feeling...

I have a feeling as well.

I have a feeling, we were in fact just going through some cards

last night and I'm positive that that question was on it.

-OK, you feel like you've swatted for that one?

-Yes!

Let's look anyway because we get to compare it

-with the other two as well.

-OK.

The question behind Bhutanese, please.

Right, well...

I don't think they're Bhutanese, I think they're from Nepal.

I think they're Nepalese, yes, I agree, Pauline.

We think that one's incorrect.

The question behind The Crucible, please.

Well, one of them is at Frimley Green,

but the Crucible is where the

snooker takes place.

OK, where does that leave us? Where does that leave us?

That leaves us with the...?

We think the Halfpenny is correct.

There it is, locked in.

Halfpenny or "ha'penny" in old money.

Is Halfpenny the correct answer?

-Great start!

-Yes!

Well done, very confident, we like that. Lesley?

Your pre-quiz swotting worked.

Well done, yes, Halfpenny the correct answer.

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

Bhutanese, the incorrect answer there.

Pauline, you gave the correct answer to this question

as well as knowing that one was wrong. They are Nepalese.

And the last one, The Crucible. Paul, you led the way with this one.

You remembered that The Crucible is the venue for snooker in Sheffield.

The correct answer is Alexandra Palace.

Thank you, Lesley.

And a halfpenny is all you need to buy yourself

the chance to put in a number into the code and see if it sticks.

I've just got this feeling, Matt,

that number 4 is going to be in the code, for no particular reason.

So, can we start with number 4, please?

The number 4, we feel, we have a feeling in our bones.

Is it there in the first box?

No number 4, is it there in the second box?

-Yes!

-You're feeling was absolutely right, Paul.

Well done. There it is.

Blank-4-blank makes up your code so far.

Yes, it's good.

You have to get numbers in the code if you're going to win.

But at the same time,

the quiz does become a little bit trickier now

because we see all three answers as before,

but only two questions will be revealed

-before you have to make a decision.

-Yeah.

So, you won't have the full picture.

Let's see your next three answers.

Any thoughts, Pauline?

Well, you travelled to Glasgow

quite a few times!

I knew you were going to say that.

Quite often, so, Glasgow

-would be a...

-Yeah, I agree.

-A good choice.

-We'll go with Glasgow on that, please.

I don't know Easterhouse and Hillhead.

But I'm pretty sure that Anniesland is an area in Glasgow.

-Which one would you like to look at next?

-Erm...

-Accents?

-Accents.

OK, yeah, we'll try Accents.

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

I don't know but A History

Of The World In 100 Accents

just doesn't sound right to me.

It doesn't, no.

I have a feeling that out of the two,

that the Glasgow one

may be the better option.

Well, you've been to Glasgow

-quite a few times.

-Yes, yes.

So, yes, I agree with you.

-Are we OK with that?

-Yes.

OK, we need to lock in what we think is the correct answer.

Any one of those three.

-Can we lock in the Glasgow answer, please, Matt?

-OK.

There it is.

It's bright orange, we can't change it.

But we can have a look at the question behind Broad.

Oh!

-BOTH:

-That's haricot.

-Yes!

-Feeling happy about that?

-Yes, definitely.

Up to now, yes.

You feel like we've made

the right choice in Glasgow.

Is Glasgow our correct answer?

-Yes!

-Fantastic.

-Yes!

-Well worth travelling to Glasgow.

-Yes.

Yes, well done.

Taking my advice, reading each question very carefully.

Glasgow the correct answer there.

Anniesland and Hillhead are in the west and Easterhouse is in the east.

Let's look at the wrong answers.

Broad, when this came up, you knew the correct answer.

Haricot, or some people say "hari-coh" beans.

And for the last question,

you correctly and quickly dismissed Accents as not making sense

as A History Of The World In 100 Accents.

The correct answer there is Objects, 100 Objects.

Going back 2 million years to the present day

and object number 100 is a solar-powered lamp and charger.

-Very well done, nice work.

-Thank you.

-Thank you, Lesley.

-Thank goodness you didn't have to know that!

-No!

Working through just your instincts, really, on the others got you there,

and has now bought you a second chance.

The chance to put a second number in and see if it's in the code.

Who's going to have a go?

-Well, I have a feeling...

-I have a feeling, too.

And I think one of the other numbers we thought of was number 7.

We're going to try lucky 7.

Is it there in our first box?

No number 7 there.

Is there a number 7 in the third and final box?

-Oh!

-No number 7.

But look, we're answering questions correctly,

we are discounting the numbers.

-Are you ready for your next three answers?

-Yes.

-Yes, we're ready.

-Here they come.

THEY LAUGH

They're not linked.

But there are three answers there, only one of them can be correct.

Paul's strong subject is football,

so I think Kevin Keegan would be...

-Yeah, we'll go with Kevin Keegan, please.

-OK.

-Was he still playing then...?

-I...

In 2001.

He ages with me, Kevin Keegan.

That's a good point that, Pauline.

He ages with me, virtually.

So, that means he's 65, so obviously he wasn't playing, then.

OK, great. We get to open another one

before we have to commit to anything.

Where would you like to go next?

I think I probably know more about perms than poodles.

OK, so we'll go Perms.

We'd like to look at the question behind Perm, please.

Right, that's a toughy, isn't it?

We know that it's a term

for a hairstyle.

I haven't come across a Russian city

by the name of Perm but it doesn't mean to say that it's not right.

So, on that basis, are we better to...

..go with the Perm rather than

be blind with the Poodle?

Poodle, what could it be, the question?

It could be anything

but irrespective of what it is,

we're not going to know the legitimacy of it, are we?

I just have a feeling,

I know we have to agree,

but if we went for Poodle

and it turned out to be Perm,

I reckon we'd be kicking ourselves.

We would.

If we go for Perm and it's Poodle,

we haven't seen the question,

so I think although it would be

disappointing, we'd feel less,

we wouldn't be kicking ourselves

-quite so hard, if that makes sense.

-Right.

I think we should go in with the Perm

because we know it's half right.

-Agreed, are we agreed on that?

-Yes.

Can we lock in Perm, please, Matt?

We certainly can. Let's lock in Perm as our correct answer.

There it is, we can't change that but we can have a look now

at the question behind Poodle.

And I'm hoping, for your sake,

it rings really false.

I think that's probably a Labrador.

Yeah, I think poodles are quite popular but I think

I've heard somewhere that it's another dog,

maybe some kind of terrier or something like that.

So, having seen that...

-I'm quite happy.

-..I'm a little bit encouraged

that we've maybe made the right choice.

-Good, if you're happy, I'm happy.

-Right.

That's what we want! OK.

Is Perm our correct answer?

-Oh!

-Yes!

Fantastic, what a great bit of work that was. Genuinely. Lesley?

Yes, that was excellent.

You used the information you had and you read the questions

carefully and that led you to the correct answer, Perm.

Perm, yes, it is a treatment that results in

a distinctive hairstyle, as sported by Kevin Keegan.

Kevin Keegan definitely not still playing in 2001.

The correct answer,

Michael Owen in 2001 was the winner of European Footballer Of The Year.

Kevin Keegan had won it in 1979.

And the next question, the Poodle one.

Pauline, you came in here with the correct answer,

that's the Labrador Retriever.

Poodles don't even make it into the top ten.

Thank you, Lesley. Well, no waifs and strays here.

We are all on track and that answer there gives you the chance

to enter another digit into the keypad

to see if it's there in the code.

-What about number 1?

-OK.

-Got a feeling about number 1.

-Number 1.

-OK, we have a feeling about number 1.

-Number 1, please.

Let's see if that is there, up in the code, in the first box.

No number 1 there, how about the third and final box?

No number 1 there either.

But yet again, we're counting these numbers out,

now there's only seven left to choose from.

Are you ready for your next three answers?

-Yes.

-We're ready, Matt.

Super, you're playing absolutely brilliantly. Let's have a look.

Goldfinger.

-Bond villain?

-Jaws.

-Yeah. Catamarans are...

-Sailing.

Yes, and it has so many holes,

catamarans, is it two or three?

-Maybe the Goldfinger?

-Yes.

Maybe know a little bit about Bond,

-don't we?

-Bit more.

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

The Goldfinger guy, I'm sure he was quite a portly guy

with a bald head, whose name I don't know.

-So...

-Could it be Gert Frobe?

I'm just working out that

because I don't know who that Bond villain is,

is it Gert Frobe?

-Shall we try Defence Secretary?

-Yes.

OK, we will open Defence Secretary

and have a look at the question.

Right, I seem to remember John Major maybe being Chancellor.

He may have been Home Secretary but

I don't think that's correct either.

If I had to put him in a position,

I would say that he was maybe Chancellor.

I have no recollection at all

of John Major ever being Defence Secretary.

-It is a bit of a specialist position.

-Hmm.

And I don't think he was ever involved in defence.

That's my gut feeling.

So, I would maybe think the Goldfinger or the Catamaran

may be correct and the more I look at this Gert Frobe...

A modernist architect,

would a modernist architect be called Goldfinger?

Maybe he does specific designs that involve gold or...

I think Goldfinger looks more likely

than Defence Secretary.

And rule out, take the Catamaran

as being the wrong answer as well.

-Hmm.

-Without seeing it.

Are we happy to go Goldfinger?

I'll let you decide.

I-I've a leaning towards

-the Goldfinger.

-You do?

-OK.

OK, we'll go with Goldfinger.

Locking in Goldfinger as our correct answer.

OK, now let's look at the question behind Catamaran.

Well, I don't think a catamaran is a high-speed passenger vessel, is it?

It's much more sedate.

I don't actually think it is a high-speed passenger vessel,

so I'm quite please with that.

How are you feeling, Pauline?

I'm not sure. Not sure!

OK, well, anyway, it's academic.

Is Goldfinger our correct answer?

Yes! Well done.

Well done, team.

Absolutely, I'm not sure that was Goldfinger,

that was more like crossed fingers!

Wasn't it? Lesley?

I'm very glad that you settled on that one.

I thought you were going to talk yourselves out of it for a moment.

Goldfinger the correct answer.

Erno Goldfinger the architect,

Auric Goldfinger, the Bond villain.

The latter named after the former.

Catamaran not the right answer for the next one,

that is the hovercraft.

You can get high-speed catamarans and indeed,

they replaced hovercrafts when they went out of service.

And the Defence Secretary question, you got through this very well

by knowing that John Major had been the Chancellor.

The Defence Secretary around that time was Tom King,

he'd taken up that position after the 1989 reshuffle.

Well done, good progress.

-Thanks.

-Yes, steady progress.

Steady progress but it's doesn't matter if it gets the right result.

And it certainly has, because we get the chance now to put in

a fourth digit into the code, see if it's there.

1, 4 and 7 have all gone.

There are seven remaining.

I think I'd like to go for number 9.

Number 9, let's find out if Pauline's number 9 is there

in the code.

Is it in the first box?

No. Is it there in the third and final box?

No number 9.

No number 9, but that's fine.

Pauline and Paul, are you ready for your next three answers?

-We're ready, Matt.

-Yes, we're ready.

-Here they are.

We've always started with something that we feel

as if we know a little bit about.

A bit about.

Although I'm not an expert

-on Marcel Marceau, but...!

-No, or goat's cheese.

Maybe we should stick with the same thing

because although I'm tempted to think I'd like to know

what's behind Front Row, if we break what we've been doing,

like with Kevin Keegan, should we go with something that we've...?

All I know about Marcel Marceau

is he mimed.

-Shall we try it?

-Yeah.

OK, we'll go with Marcel Marceau.

The question behind Marcel Marceau, please.

I was going to say there was a guy who did this,

but obviously there was.

But would somebody who was a mime artist

suddenly get up on a tightrope?

And he's walking between the Twin Towers,

so it's not as though he's a few feet off the ground.

It's something specialist.

So, was he a mime artist and a tightrope walker?

I would tend to think that wasn't, that was false.

I think we'd know about him if...

Yes, what shall we try next?

-Goat's cheese?

-Goat's cheese.

Unless we try Front Row, what could be behind Front Row?

Second row.

I got that, Pauline!

-He was too slow.

-I was with you.

Sorry, I was very... I was somewhere else.

I was up on the tightrope between the Twin Towers.

-We'll try the Front Row.

-Yeah, go on, we'll go Front Row.

Please reveal the question behind Front Row.

Well, I know Ned Sherrin. Did he do something like...?

That doesn't ring a bell

but I'm not an expert on radio shows or Ned Sherrin.

Did he do something like Ask Me A Question or...?

I can't see an obvious reason for having a radio show

hosted by Ned Sherrin, who was like a wit and raconteur, wasn't he?

And called Front Row.

-Mm-hm.

-I honestly don't know, Pauline,

but I think Ned Sherrin and Front Row, not sure.

Shall we go for goat's cheese?

If you're happy with that.

I'm happy.

I mean, we are in a difficult position, so we've got to choose.

-Which one shall we lock in?

-We'll lock in

the goat's cheese, please, Matt.

Let's lock it in.

There we go.

Flying blind, locking in an answer

where we don't know

what the question is at all.

-Does that help us?

-Well...

No! No, it doesn't.

Chevre does sound a bit

like cheese, doesn't it?

The chevre may be referring

more to the goat's cheese

rather than just cheese itself.

It is academic, it's locked in now.

-That's it.

-Exactly.

If it doesn't make you feel one way or the other,

how does goat's cheese make you feel?

I love the stuff, it's not for everybody.

But on this occasion, I want it to give me a nice, warm feeling.

Is goat's cheese our correct answer?

-Oh!

-I can't believe it.

Well, what about that? Lesley?

Yes, excellent reasoning on display here and you were right to say

that chevre refers to the goat,

it's a female goat in French.

The Front Row question,

you debated this one very carefully with excellent reasoning.

Your idea that a chat show wouldn't be called Front Row

was a great one because that's not the right answer here.

It's Loose Ends.

Front Row is an arts show, Loose Ends a chat show.

Used to be hosted, as it says, by Ned Sherrin.

Currently hosted by Clive Anderson.

And the other one, Marcel Marceau, you decided Marcel Marceau

might be on the old side in 1974, he would have been in his 50s.

The correct answer is Philippe Petit,

who was 29 when he walked between the Twin Towers.

So, excellent information,

good reasoning leading you to the correct answer. Good work.

Now, the numbers in the code, blank-4-blank,

1, 4, 7, 9 have all been counted out.

Which one are you going to go for next?

-Got a feeling about 8.

-OK, then.

-Got a feeling about 8?

Here we go. The number 8, is it there in our first box?

Not there. Is it there in our third and final box?

No number 8.

-Ooh, five left!

-But look,

just five numbers left.

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

France, Kidney, what could that be?

I know there was a pink one.

Is that related to the human body?

There's two of them and what they do,

they filter certain things, don't they?

You're quite good

on parts of the body.

-Shall we try Kidney?

-Yes.

-Mm-hm.

-Kidney.

Try Kidney, Matt, please.

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

Now, I did read something the other day

about someone who'd

done a transplant.

Not sure whether it was kidney or not

but it was before the heart transplant.

Transplant.

Which you'd assume anyway

because a heart transplant's

really risky, difficult.

-Shall we open another one?

-Yeah!

And then maybe we can compare and contrast. Which one?

I think we should go France.

OK, that's fine with me.

The question behind France, please.

The Suriname, I don't know, it just rings a bell about France.

But it's so tenuous, that...

I wouldn't have the confidence to sort of pitch in with it, you know.

If you think the Kidney,

we're ruling out what the Power Rangers one is.

See, kidney, you could experiment with that early

because people are still left with one.

It's not so crucial if you lose one.

-Yeah.

-Whereas liver and that would be dangerous.

So, that's another thing that

makes me think more about Kidney.

If you...yeah.

-Are we going with Kidney?

-I think you're right, yes.

Rather tenuously, Matt, we're going for Kidney.

-We're not completely sure, by any means!

-No!

But we're going to lock in Kidney.

On the basis that we've got two.

Let's have a look now, though, at the question behind Power Rangers.

I don't recognise the name

Ash Ketchum at all.

It is academic anyway. If you don't recognise it...

-I've never heard the name.

-No.

Just as well we didn't pick that one early on, then.

So, is Kidney our correct answer?

-Oh!

-MATT LAUGHS

You look absolutely astonished.

Lesley?

You were by no means certain of that one.

I can see your relief that kidney is indeed the correct answer.

That was in 1954 between living patients.

They were twins, one therefore saving the other's life.

France, the wrong answer to the top question.

You weren't sure about this one.

The correct answer there is the Netherlands.

The official language in Suriname is Dutch.

And the Power Rangers question, I think if you'd chosen

this question first, you may have run into trouble.

The correct answer, not Power Rangers,

which was a live-action TV series, not animated. This is...

Anyone like to give me the answer for a Lesley point?

-Matthew's got his hand up.

-Is it Pokemon?

-It is Pokemon.

I'm going to write down a little point here for you.

Pokemon the correct answer.

Ash Ketchum's name coming from "catch 'em",

as in, "got to catch 'em all."

Yes, thank you, Lesley, and well done, Pauline and Paul. Fantastic.

Only five figures remaining on the keypad.

We're doing well, we are now getting to the point where your odds

are getting very short of finding the next one in there.

-Which one's it's going to be?

-Number 2.

Is the number 2 there in our code? Let's have a look.

In the first box...

-Ooh!

-Yeah!

2-4-blank.

We have only one digit left to find in the code now.

But there is the slight problem

that now we're at the trickiest bit of the quiz.

This time, we only get to see one question at a time

before we have to make a decision. It's much, much more difficult.

Pauline, Paul, here are your next three answers.

-Zambezi's a river.

-Mm-hm.

It was also a hit.

A hit song, wasn't it?

-# Zambezi, ta-dum...? #

-Yeah.

-Erm...

-The Birds, the Hitchcock film?

The Birds, yes, it could well be the Hitchcock film.

-Mm-hm.

-Tippi Hedren and Ron...

Tippi Hedren and if I saw

the actor's name, I would know it.

I think she was in it, Tippi Hedren.

-Tippi Hedren?

-Yeah, might be who it was directed by

-or something like that.

-Yeah.

Cypress Hill, now I've heard of that.

Was it a TV series or something?

I've never heard of Cypress Hill.

Or was it...? I've heard of it.

Do you think we should go for The Birds?

Yes, I agree, The Birds.

We'll go with The Birds, please, Matt.

The question behind The Birds, please.

Aristophanes, it sounds as if

he's some Greek philosopher

going back a long time.

Features a kingdom in the air,

Cloud-cuckooland, which is...

People refer to that, don't they?

But I don't know.

I just think that The Birds,

being a Hitchcock film, which is

the first thing we thought of.

The Birds seems such a basic title

for something like that, The Birds.

-You know?

-OK.

We're saying that that's incorrect.

We'd like to discard that as an incorrect answer?

-Discard, that's the word I was looking for.

-OK.

-Consider it done.

-Oh!

Your wish, my command. It is out of the game now.

Zambezi and Cypress Hill remain.

Which one of those would you like to open next?

What's going to be more

revealing, do you think?

-I think Zambezi.

-OK.

It could be about the song.

-Yeah...

-Could be about the river,

which countries it flows through.

-Yeah, do we know that?

-No.

-Which one do you want to open?

-We'll open...

-Cypress Hill.

-Cypress Hill.

OK, let's open the question behind Cypress Hill, please.

-Right...

-Cypress Hill...

Now I've seen that...

That Cypress Hill could be a group,

I said I'd heard of it.

Was it an area? Was it something...?

There is a Cypress Hill,

but whether they're American

and whether they're a rap band...

-Cypress Hill...

-..I don't know.

Oof! This is dodgy, isn't it?

See, it was a UK hit...

so there's a chance that

we might have heard of it.

It wasn't over in the States.

Do we take a chance on Cypress Hill?

Shall we? Yeah.

With even less confidence

than previously, Matt,

we'll take a chance with Cypress Hill.

You want to lock in Cypress Hill

as your correct answer?

We're locking in Cypress Hill and...

And everything will be crossed. THEY LAUGH

If it is the correct answer,

we will indeed jump around.

I'll be over that table.

But it means we can have a look

at the question behind Zambezi

and hope desperately

it feels all wrong, in so many different ways.

Geography is not my strong point.

I mean, if you looked at that,

you could think it would be the Zambezi, but...

It does sound right, doesn't it?

If it is, is it a bit obvious?

The next digit that you choose

will be standing at the safe.

I'd forgotten about that bit.

Let's not forget,

you are very close now

to having a stab at £4,500.

Is Cypress Hill our correct answer?

-Oh!

-Oh!

I thought we were there.

-Yeah, just rang a bell.

-I thought we were all the way there.

-Just rang a bell.

-Let's look at the correct answer.

-It's going to be Zambezi, isn't it?

-Probably.

It was The Birds.

The Birds! Ahh!

Well, in a way, I'm happy about that,

cos we dismissed that out of hand, virtually.

-I would have as well.

-Yeah.

-I would have been straight out with that.

-Yeah.

Wow. It was The Birds.

Lesley, what a shocker.

I know. You were doing very, very well.

The Birds was the correct answer.

You were talking yourselves out of that one

on the ground that you thought The Birds

wasn't the sort of title

that Aristophanes would have selected for his work.

Other Aristophanes titles include

The Clouds, The Wasps, The Frogs.

Very similar, short titles.

And Zambezi there, the wrong answer.

I think if you'd picked this one,

you may have been on slightly safer ground.

The Zambezi flows through

or near the border of

Angola, Namibia, Botswana,

Zambia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique.

The correct answer here is the Limpopo.

And the last question there,

Cypress Hill is a group,

but they're not responsible for Jump Around -

though the producer, DJ Muggs,

is part of Cypress Hill.

The correct answer is House Of Pain.

Wow, what can I say?

A house of pain is exactly where we are,

-having come so far.

-Yeah.

Let down by a lack of knowledge of rap music,

for which you should feel terribly, terribly ashamed.

-Go home straightaway.

-We are.

Go home straightaway and listen to some Cypress Hill.

Be educated. No, what can I say?

Paul and Pauline, we ought to have a look at the code.

Now, what was the next number

you were going to choose?

-3.

-Number 3.

Yeah, we were both thinking 3.

We were looking for 2-4-3.

If that is the final number in your code,

well, we'll be kicking ourselves

cos you would have been opening the door.

Is it 2-4-3?

-Oh!

-Oh, no.

You were one question away.

Oh, I'm so sorry

but, listen, please don't feel sad

because what you've done is fantastic.

You know, you've made Middlesbrough proud.

You should be very proud of yourselves

and so will your families be.

But I'm afraid it just wasn't enough and, on this occasion,

Pauline and Paul, you've failed to break the code

and so we have to say goodbye to you.

I'm so sorry.

-Lovely to meet you, Pauline.

-Thank you.

Thanks very much, Matt. Pleasure to meet you.

-Take care.

-Thanks, Lesley.

Well, that is just about as close

as you can get to cracking the code.

One question away, that's all it was,

but Paul and Pauline's loss

is our next team's gain

because the jackpot now goes higher.

So, let's meet the next team

hoping to crack the code.

Here they come.

Good to see you, chaps.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-Matt...

-Nice to meet you.

-..and Paul.

-Nice to meet you.

How are you? So, you guys are from Basingstoke, is that right?

-Yeah.

-And Newcastle, originally?

Now living in Reading.

Now living in Reading?

-Which you're fairly familiar with.

-My home town.

So, how do you guys know each other then?

I'm an IT technician,

I generally fix the stuff that Paul breaks.

So, you break it and you fix it?

I spend a lot of time planning,

and breaking things,

and I send Matt out to site to repair it.

Right, OK, that works. Why not just not break them in the first place?

That's not progress.

-Otherwise you'd have nothing to do.

-Yep.

Now, I couldn't help notice, Matt,

that you describe yourself as Jedi.

Is that right?

Do you see yourself as a Jedi or is that part of your characteristic?

It's the whole sort of, "There is no anger,

"it's all peace and calm, and tranquillity."

And I've got a beard and long hair,

so it kind of fits in with the territory.

Any particular Jedi that you associate yourself with?

Probably Qui-Gon Jinn from the first one.

I remember him well.

He was responsible for everything, at the end of the day.

It was all his fault.

-But it didn't end well for him...

-No.

-..sadly.

Now, our last team,

despite their best efforts,

and they genuinely came very, very close,

didn't win the jackpot.

Bad news for them, but good news for you

because it means another £500 is added to the safe,

making a total of...

Nice round number for the two of you to split,

if it should come to that. Let's hope so.

Let's reset the code.

And, Matt and Paul,

if you're ready, let's have a look at your first three answers.

Remember, only one of those is correct.

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

At this point in the game,

you can open all three of those questions.

So, we will start at the very top

and reveal the question behind Fern.

-That sounds likely.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Quite happy with that.

OK, let's go straight on.

The question behind Gas Mark 3.

-That's way too high.

-That's about six or seven.

That's way too high.

And let's have a look at the question behind Graham Norton.

Took over to Wogan on BBC One...

-It's Ken Bruce.

-..much later than that.

Oh, is he...? Does he do the...?

Ken Bruce does the radio show,

-Wogan did the TV.

-Spot on.

OK. Right, it feels like we have

a firm hold on this one.

Which one do you want to lock in as your correct answer?

We'll go with Fern, please.

Is Fern a correct answer?

Of course it is. Well done, gentlemen.

Yes, you worked very quickly through those questions.

Fern the correct answer to the first one.

Bracken a member of the fern family.

In Japan, the young shoots of bracken are eaten as a delicacy

but they're probably carcinogenic,

so not very good for you.

Gas mark 3 - the wrong answer,

you very quickly said that this was too hot,

240 degrees Celsius, too hot for gas mark 3.

That's correct.

Gas mark 3 equates roughly to 170 degrees Celsius.

The correct answer is gas mark 9.

And Graham Norton, you not only knew this,

but you said the correct answer as well,

that was Ken Bruce.

Very well done. Keep progressing like this and you'll do well.

You are in Lesley's good books.

That's good. It's a good way to start.

What's the plan here? Is there a plan?

Our plan is to pick numbers that aren't going to appear in it

so we get as many easy questions as possible.

And how are you going to achieve that?

Well, as a darts player,

I want to see a 180 up there, so we'll go for a 4.

A number 4 cos it's not in the 180.

But is it there in the code?

There's no real way of telling.

Is it there in the first box?

That's what you call a bull's-eye.

First time.

It means that, straight away,

we have moved on to a more difficult part of the quiz

where, yes, you see all three answers at the same time

but, this time, only two questions

before you have to make a decision.

Are you ready for that?

-Yes, we are.

-Ready as I'll ever be.

As ready as you'll ever be. I like it.

Let's have a look at these three answers.

I don't know a lot about Les Miserables

other than it's a musical.

The film was fairly recent,

-had Hugh Jackman...

-Yeah.

-..in it.

Could probably name a couple of the characters if I was pushed, but...

Yeah, I probably know more about that

than I do about pears or Greenham.

Pear is a fruit.

Greenham, there's a Common just outside...

-Yeah. That's...

-Sadly.

-What do you think...?

-Which one is it going to be?

Let's go for Les Mis first.

-Yeah, Les Mis.

-OK, the question behind Les Miserables, please.

Esmeralda would obviously be famous for...

The Hunchback Of Notre-Dame.

-Yeah.

-OK.

Well, we don't have to commit just yet,

we can look at another question.

-Give Greenham...?

-Pear...

Yeah, Pear could be anything.

Greenham, at least we know something about it.

We'll go Greenham then, please.

OK, the question behind Greenham, please.

That could be legit.

I don't think there's another RAF base in Berkshire

-that precedes Common.

-No.

And I wasn't around for much of the 1980s,

but again, Greenham Common is definitely in Berkshire

and it's definitely a RAF base.

Indeed it is,

and now the site of a data centre.

I'd say that one was correct.

Lock in Greenham as the correct answer.

There it is. It's locked in, we can't change that.

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

-BOTH:

-Pepper.

OK. So, that's made us feel happy.

Is Greenham the correct answer?

-Happy with that.

-Absolutely.

Yeah, never in any doubt at all.

-Lesley.

-Good local knowledge

coming into play there.

Yes, your Berkshire knowledge

helping you with that question.

Greenham the correct answer.

They marched from Cardiff

to Greenham to protest about nuclear missiles.

Les Miserables the wrong answer.

Now, Paul, you mentioned the correct answer to this question,

which is The Hunchback Of Notre-Dame.

The character Esmeralda voiced by Demi Moore in the Disney film.

And Pear... When this came up,

you said straightaway, both of you knew

that the correct answer to that one is the pepper.

The name of the Scotch Bonnet pepper

comes from the tam-o'-shanter,

the Scottish hat.

Thank you, Lesley. OK, good stuff, and it's led you to the chance

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

Well, I got it wrong last time, so it's your call.

-Let's go 0.

-We're going for 0.

Is it there in the second box?

It's not.

Is there a 0 there in the third and final box?

No. It's not.

It means we stand a better chance

of picking a correct number later on.

If you're ready, Matt and Paul,

here come the next three answers.

What would Catches be the answer to?

-What's one way of getting out in cricket?

-Catches.

And again, Hair could be any number of things.

I think...maybe Catches.

We'll give Catches a go.

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

Wouldn't have a clue.

It's hundreds, I believe.

Yeah, I think that's incorrect.

OK, we can open another one

before we have to make a decision.

Tortoise or Hair?

Well, I've got more hair than I've got tortoises, so we'll go Hair.

That's a very good bit of logic there.

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

I have actually seen that one,

and I couldn't tell you what any of the songs in it were called.

Gethsemane, that sounds biblical to me.

I Don't Know How To Love Him,

given the plot, could be in there.

I'm inclined to say that

those songs are not from Hair.

Which one of those is looking like the one we want to lock in?

I think Tortoise.

We'll give Tortoise a go.

You'd like to lock in Tortoise?

Lock in Tortoise.

OK, flying blind,

we can't see the question,

but we're going to lock it in as the correct answer.

There we are. No going back now.

So, let's have a look at the question behind Tortoise.

I don't know.

It sounds like it, yeah.

Could be a reasonable response.

Reassuring.

It sounds perfectly reasonable, doesn't it?

All the clues are there.

Is Tortoise the correct answer?

-Yeah.

-It is, it is.

Very well done.

Yes, Tortoise the correct answer.

Bill And Ben the classic show from the 1950s, rebooted in 2001.

Let's have a look at the wrong answers there.

Catches not correct.

Paul, you had a feeling that Catches

wasn't quite right for a figure of 51.

Indeed, his number of catches is 115.

The answer here is Centuries.

You said, "Hundreds,"

I think you were thinking along the right lines there, so well done.

And then Hair.

Gethsemane, as Paul says,

is a biblical reference to the Garden of Gethsemane

where Judas leads the Romans

to capture Jesus Christ,

as in Jesus Christ Superstar.

OK, our third correct answer

gives us the chance to choose

another digit from the keypad.

Well, lucky number 7

doesn't appear to be that lucky

and hasn't been coming up for that many people,

so we'll give that one a go.

You're going to try it regardless.

I like it. Counterintuitive.

Is the number 7 up there in the code, in the second box?

It's not there.

Is it there in the third and final box?

-Oh.

-Got it.

-Typical.

Good work, fella.

Out of three chosen, two are in your code.

How you feeling about that?

Like we've got seven very difficult questions left.

Very possible. Or just one. KLAXON

And that sounds means that time is up for today, I'm so sorry.

Just when you were getting into your stride, Matt and Paul.

Only one number left to find,

making great strides.

Will you come back and help us in the next show?

-Absolutely.

-Yes.

-Looking forward to it.

-I would hope so, too.

Thank you, Lesley, as always,

for your marvellous facts and figures.

You're welcome and great progress so far, boys.

Two numbers down, one to go.

Let's see you, in the next show, finishing that code.

Yes, thank you, Lesley.

Please join us next time

and we'll find out if Matt and Paul

have what it takes to crack the code

and win the £5,000.

Thank you so much for watching, and goodbye.
