Episode 16 The Code

Hello and welcome to The Code. Locked in this safe is £5,000.

To open the safe and win the money,

contestants just need to crack a three-digit code.

Every time someone fails, though,

more money goes into the safe and the jackpot gets higher and higher.

Now, last time, our IT crowd Matt and Paul had great momentum with

two numbers in their code -

the number four and the number seven - when we ran out of time.

So, let's welcome them back to see if they can finish the job.

Here they are. Good to see you, Matt, how are you?

-Good to see you again.

-Good to see you. And Paul.

-And now, you're from Basingstoke, Matt?

-Yup.

-And from Reading, Paul?

-Yes.

-That's right.

And you both work in IT.

We also found out about you, Matt,

that you aspire to be Jedi-like, is that fair?

-Jedi-like.

-And what powers do you think it would

be good to bring to the quiz today?

Well, I'd like to channel the ability to get the right number.

Well, you're doing pretty well already.

You've got two out of the three, just nailing the last one

would be perfect.

Now, Paul, what we didn't talk about yesterday was that you're

-a poker player.

-Yes, mostly online.

I've played in a couple of tournaments locally but

nothing on a big scale.

Well, maybe we'll see your poker face later today.

Cool, calm, collected as a pair. Jedi-like approaching the quiz.

Now, before we go any further, let me introduce our resident polymath,

Lesley Brewis.

Welcome back to the show, my advice to you is to make use of your

complimentary knowledge and you can't go far wrong.

-Good luck.

-Thank you.

OK, let's remind ourselves where we are.

Four and seven are up there,

zero you tried but it wasn't there, so that means we now have three

digits down, seven left, and we are at the toughest bit of the game.

But we're also just one digit away from a £5,000 jackpot.

-How does that feel?

-Pretty terrifying.

MATT LAUGHS

You don't look terrified, you look very cool and calm.

Right, if you're ready, we're going to look at your first three answers.

Remember, you can only open one at a time before you have to commit.

Here they are.

Well, I know what kedgeree is, I cook it,

-it's a curried kippers and rice dish.

-Right.

-Cork is something that floats or a place in Ireland.

-Yup.

Don't know what Bey Sin is.

It sounds like somewhere where you

-wash your face but spelt differently.

-Yeah.

Out of the three of those, I'm probably most comfortable

-with kedgeree.

-Yeah?

-Yeah, we'll give kedgeree a go.

Let's reveal the question behind kedgeree.

-That's going to be...

-Arborio is risotto rice, I think.

Yes. It's risotto.

-I'd say that's incorrect.

-OK, we'll discard that one, then.

We'd like to discard kedgeree as an incorrect answer.

There we are, that's out of the game.

I still haven't got a clue what Bey Sin is so, based on that...

-Cork?

-I think we have to go for Cork, don't we?

-We'll have to go for Cork.

-The question behind Cork, please?

I know Cork is Irish, I couldn't tell you if it was

a county or a town or a city.

It's... Yeah, it's a county.

My gut is saying that it's wrong.

We'll go with your gut then.

I haven't got anything that I can bring to this.

It looks like we're locking in Bey Sin..

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

We can't change that now, we can't go back,

but we can have a look at the question.

-No idea.

-I wouldn't have had a clue.

-No clue at all.

But after all that, I'm kind of expecting kedgeree to be

right now, just to really embarrass us as fully as possible.

Well, listen, listen, Matt, Paul,

you done brilliantly to achieve what you have so quickly so far.

We cannot progress unless Bey Sin is the correct answer.

-You were never that confident, were you?

-No.

Never that confident on this round.

Let's find out which was the correct answer?

-Cork. Yes.

-It was Cork. I'm so sorry. Lesley.

Yes, I'm really sorry you picked the wrong one there,

the question that you couldn't see, Bey Sin.

Cork, the correct answer, the Rebel County.

That dates back to the late 15th century when many people in

Cork supported Perkin Warbeck,

the pretender in the Wars of the Roses and they've been involved in

other rebellions and wars since then. Bey Sin.

Now, Bey Sin didn't really mean much to you,

that's because it's a little bit of a pun,

a joke, the correct answer is B'Day, Bey Sin, B'Day. B'Day being

the name of the album released on Beyonce's 25th birthday.

And kedgeree, you quickly dismissed this one because

you recognised arborio as the rice used in risotto.

Thank you, Lesley. I was desperately,

desperately hoping, guys, that Bey Sin was

a Jedi that I hadn't heard of.

From one of the films or fanfiction or something else,

but it didn't work out that way. Unfortunately, listen,

you were very cool, very calm and collected throughout the

whole process but unfortunately, Matt and Paul,

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

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you so much.

-Thank you.

-Cheers, Paul.

As cool as cucumbers, but it didn't help them, unfortunately.

Their loss, the 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. Lovely to see you.

At the vanguard there, David. Bryony, how are you?

-Hi, nice to meet you.

-And Paul. Lovely to see you.

-Now, you're all from Bath.

-Yes.

-And how did you guys all meet?

-Well, we are...

We're fans of Bath Rugby and we all met through Bath Rugby and through our children,

we have children in the city and they all knew each other.

-So, they're all rugby playing children as well?

-They are.

I've got two boys who are playing rugby, my daughter refused,

-so, quite rightly, really.

-Really?

Fair enough. She doesn't have to, does she?

Do you have, like, season tickets next to each other?

No, we end up having drinks before the match together and then...

-And after the match.

-And after the match!

These two are the complete opposite ends of the ground to me,

I'm sort of sitting in the open behind the post.

-Really, why is that?

-Cheap seats.

-Cheap seats, yes.

-You're in the cheap seats?

THEY LAUGH

-Economical.

-Yes.

-Well, listen, we wish you all the very best.

Now, as you may have seen, the team before you, Matt and Paul,

unfortunately, they didn't crack the code.

It's not such great news for them, but it is terrific news for you,

because it means we add another £500 to the pot

and that makes a total of £5,500.

Very nice too. Let's reset the code.

-Blip-blip-blip, three blanks.

-Right.

You want to turn those three blanks into three numbers - that will

mean that the safe door will open and you'll take away

£5,500.

Are you ready?

-We are.

-Yes, I think.

-Yup.

OK, let us have a look at your first three answers.

Gosh!

Only one of those is correct. That's the one that you're trying to find.

At this point in the game, you get to open all of the three

questions behind them, so let's start at the top.

-Have you got any idea?

-Isn't it sort of a potato cake or...

-..biscuit or something?

-It's made out of potato, is it?

-Doesn't sound very salady, does it?

-It doesn't sound salady.

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

-William, that's definitely William.

-Yeah.

-William.

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

-Oh, dear.

-I seem to remember reading something about that...

-In the back

-of my mind is, I think...

-Yeah, yeah.

-That could be the right one.

Let's just double-check on that Scotland one, though,

that you think that's definitely potato?

It doesn't sound like a salad.

-Guillaume is definitely William.

-Yeah, we're all agreed on that one.

I think I'm tempted to go with the third one. Are you, Paul?

-Yeah, I'm happy.

-OK, we'll lock that in.

There we go.

If that turns green, it means you get the chance to choose your

first number from the keypad to see if it's there in the code.

-If, unfortunately, it turns red, it will be an early bath.

-And we weep.

Is Jediism your correct answer?

Well done. Good stuff.

Nerve-racking! Good stuff. Lesley.

Yes, well done,

using your complimentary knowledge to navigate those questions.

You all recognised this as the correct answer, Jediism.

It was the Temple of the Jedi Order that had its application

turned down.

177,000 people in 2011, 390,000 2001,

so quite a drop in people claiming to be Jedis.

And the other answers you dismissed as incorrect, Scotland, bridie,

not a salad, it's the type of meat pastry.

Lots of stories about the origin of that pastry, possibly,

it was because it came from weddings, people would eat these at

weddings and that's where the name bridie comes from.

And, Graham, you said immediately,

that's the wrong answer and you gave the correct answer which is William.

-There's no real equivalent of Graham in French.

-Well done, guys.

Yeah, you pretty much nailed that.

So, our first correct answer means our first chance to choose

a number from the code. And, your keypad,

you can see ten numbers ranging from zero through to nine.

Which one do you want to choose?

-Paul?

-Go on.

-It's up to you.

-Number two.

Starting at the top with number two, is it there in your code?

In the first box?

No. Is it there in the second box?

Yes, there it is, number two, front and centre.

Great early progress but it also means things get a bit trickier.

As before, you get to see all three answers now, you can only see two

questions before you have to commit and identify one of them as correct.

-Right.

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

-We ought to look at... Well, we live in Somerset.

-Somerset.

-Actually, I live in Wiltshire.

-Somerset, OK.

Well, are we going to go for that first, then?

Because the order that we pick them in now is absolutely crucial.

-I think we ought to.

-Yeah.

-We want to get the ones that we might know.

-Yeah. Somerset.

The question behind Somerset, please.

-I'm happy with that, Somerset.

-Yeah, Mendip is Wales...

We ought to see the other one as well.

We need to see the second question.

-OK, let's choose another one.

-Six.

-I know nothing about The Smurfs.

-Go for six.

-OK.

We'll go for six if that's what you're happy with?

Please reveal the question behind six.

ALL: Four.

-OK...

-Well, I think we have to lock in Somerset, don't we?

-Yeah, Somerset.

-OK. It's locked in,

we can change that but we can have a look at the question behind Smurfs.

-No idea.

-Rugrats. The Rugrats!

-We're happy that that's an incorrect answer?

-Yeah.

-Definitely.

-Big fan of the Rugrats there.

-My little ones like it so...

-Oh, I see, that was the right time for them.

-Yes.

-Gotcha.

Is Somerset our correct answer?

Of course it is. If you hadn't known that there would be trouble.

-We wouldn't be going home.

-No, no. You'd have to go somewhere else.

Lesley.

Yes, lucky for you that there was a question about Somerset.

The Quantock Hills and the Mendips are both

Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, as I'm sure you know,

being from that area.

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

Six, now, you were discussing this one a little bit,

wondering about kites.

This isn't kites the flying objects, but kite, the geometric shape,

hence geometry in the question.

The correct answer is "four" and a kite specifically

has two pairs of equal length lines which are next to each other

as opposed to a parallelogram, which has two pairs of equal

lines which are opposite.

And Smurfs, not the right answer here.

Paul, you were happy about this question.

You knew that it wasn't Smurfs.

The clue with the names of Smurfs is that most of them have got

"Smurf" in their name, like Papa Smurf and Smurfette.

The correct answer is Rugrats. Nicely done. Quickly dealt with.

Thank you, Lesley. Yes, indeed, we are making good progress here.

-You feeling confident?

-Yes.

-That was a big one.

Well, it's coming up roses.

-Where do we want to go next?

-Shall we go back to the bottom?

-Go for zero?

-Let's find out. Is zero in our code?

Is it there in our first box?

It's not.

Is it there in our third and final box?

OK, not a bad thing.

You can get rid of the numbers like that and you can carry on

playing the game where you can see two of the questions at

a time rather than one. You're doing brilliantly,

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

Pangram? I don't know what pangram is.

It's a series of shapes you put together.

-Something like that.

-Because Pan is wide.

-And gram is a figure.

-And Antman? Is that a film?

-Yeah, I don't know anything about it.

-I've never seen it if it is.

-No, nor have I.

-Shall we do the other two?

-Yeah, yeah.

-Start with Ram-packed?

-Yeah, yeah.

Start with Ram-packed in the middle.

We'd like to see the question behind Ram-packed.

Did he say "rammed"... It was definitely Ram...

-It should be jam-packed, shouldn't it?

-Shall we see...

Yeah, you get to see one other before you have to decide.

Pangram? Pangram, please.

-That's a palindrome. Because it works backwards.

-"Sums are..."

-"Erasmus".

-It's a palindrome, that's backwards, isn't it?

-Yeah.

Pan is wide. My feeling is that's not right.

We're looking to identify the correct answer.

-To be honest, we're not going to know Antman anyway, are we?

-No.

-So if we're...

-Exactly.

-..tending towards ram-packed,

-let's go with that one.

-Yup.

-OK.

-OK?

-Yeah, if it's wrong, it's wrong.

-We'd like to lock in ram-packed as our correct answer?

-Yes.

That's it, it's locked in,

we can't change it but we can now have a look at

the question behind Antman.

Hopefully it makes us feel glowing all over.

-Batman.

-Is it?

-Batman is an officer's personal servant.

-Is it?

-David, you seem very happy with that.

-My father was in the RAF, so,

-we used to have a Batman on certain tours.

-So that's definitely wrong.

OK, we're happy with that.

We're feeling like this could be the correct answer

we've selected, ram-packed.

We want Team Cheap Seats to keep moving forward.

Is ram-packed our correct answer?

Oh, gosh!

-Well done.

-Oh, that was lucky.

Supremely well worked through, well done, guys. Lesley.

Well done, yes, you remembered the story about Jeremy Corbyn

sitting on the floor because he said he couldn't find any seats.

And Antman, when this came up, David, your background helped you

with this one, as you knew that was Batman, not Antman.

Pangram, again, David led the way with this one,

I heard you say the correct answer which is palindrome.

A pangram is a sentence that contains at least one of

every letter in the alphabet,

such as "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

Palindromes, such as "sums are not set as a test on Erasmus",

are used by people who enjoy wordplay.

There's an entirely palindromic novel

called Dr Awkward And Olson In Oslo

which is almost 30,000 words.

I haven't read it but I suspect the plot might be a little bit shaky.

THEY LAUGH

That was supremely well worked through,

and it earns you the right to choose another number from the keypad

to see if it's there in your code.

-Where are we going to go next?

-Five, in the middle?

-Yeah.

-We'll try number five.

-Briony says five. Is it there?

Let's have a look in the first box.

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

-Oh. Is that good?

-Wow.

-Wow!

-OK.

-Good or bad?

-Right.

You are down to one digit of your code remaining.

And you have, still, seven numbers to choose from on the keypad.

So it gets trickier.

Now you get to see all three answers as before, but this time,

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

whether it's right or wrong.

-OK.

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

Cilla Black.

THEY LAUGH

-Oh, dear.

-Surprise Surprise, Cilla.

Well, that's Cilla, has to be Cilla Black, or... Maybe not.

Sailing ship, you might know a bit of ships

with military side of things, no?

-No, no, that was aircraft, not ships.

-Oh, well, not that as well.

-What's Nudie suits?

-I assume not very much.

-True.

-We'll just go with the top.

-Go on, we're going to go Surprise Surprise.

I think it was "Hello, precious," "Hello, darling..."

To Angie, was it? Didn't he get shot by the daffodils or something?

On the canal. I don't think he'd say surprise surprise.

-My instinct is to say that's wrong.

-My instinct as well.

-OK.

So, we think this is an incorrect answer. And we want to discard it.

Yeah.

There we go. That's now out of the game.

We've got two more to choose from,

-which one would you like to select next?

-I'd go with Sailing ship.

-OK, go Sailing ship.

-The question behind Sailing ship, please.

-That's diamond, it's a big diamond.

-Diamond, definitely.

-OK.

So we think that that is wrong. We think so.

We now want to choose the one correct answer there remaining.

-Presumably the Nudie is the one.

-Yeah.

-We think it's right.

-We're going to lock in Nudie suits as our correct answer.

-Oh, dear.

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

-we are flying blind.

-We are.

We think it's correct by the process of elimination,

let's have a look at the question.

And see how it makes us feel.

-Nuta, maybe.

-Yeah, maybe.

-Could be possible.

How are we feeling about that as an answer?

Better than before it came up.

-In percentage terms, what would you give it?

-I'm going for 40%.

-You're 40% confident.

-I'm going for 60.

-Always a bit nervous.

-I'm going 60.

-Briony's leading the way.

-Sorry, guys.

She's happy, she's confident, we're moving forward.

So, is Nudie suits the correct answer?

-Yes!

-That was...

-100% correct. Well done, guys. Lesley.

-Well done.

Yes, when the question came up

it confirmed that that was the correct answer.

Very well done for navigating that.

Surprise Surprise, you knew that didn't ring true for Dirty Den.

Surprise Surprise, better associated with Cilla Black.

Dirty Den, the first person to speak on EastEnders.

He says, "Stinks in here, don't it?" in the very first episode.

His catchphrase, you were quite close to it,

I think you said "Hello, darling."

The correct answer is "Hello, princess."

-Oh, right.

-And Sailing ship not the correct answer,

you knew this one too, that is a diamond.

Probably found in the 13th century, it eventually made its way into

the hands of Queen Victoria and is now owned by the Crown.

Lesley, I've always wanted a Nudie suit.

-I've always wanted a Koh-i-Noor diamond.

-Well, there we go.

Between us, one day it'll happen, doubtless.

Now, this is very exciting.

We are giving ourselves the chance to take £5,500

back to Bath. Any ideas how that could come in useful?

I think all three of us are going to donate, if we won any money,

to our favourite charities.

And then a good night out for the three of us.

Well, I wanted you to win before, now I want you to win even more.

-Oh, that's good.

-I really do. This is fantastic.

And we've got a chance to do that right now.

Two and five are there, zero we know is gone,

we don't have to worry about that.

So, one, three, four, six, seven, eight, nine remain.

-Which one's it going to be?

-It's my guess.

Last night, I guessed 412 in our sweepstake.

So I'd go with four.

Going to go with the number four. Who is going to join me at the safe?

-Paul.

-Our leader.

-Paul, meet me down at the safe.

Go on, Mourinho.

THEY LAUGH

Briony, David and Paul, you have selected the number four.

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

today you will be going home with £5,500.

Paul, are you ready?

-I am ready.

-Punch in the number four.

We're looking for a 425, what a lovely sounding number that is.

It would make a perfect code

for Team Cheap Seats to take £5,500 away with them.

Is four the final number in your code?

It's not a number four. It's not four, but don't worry.

It's still early days, you're doing brilliant. Let's go back, Paul. OK.

Come and join us.

Listen, the chances, what were the chances there? 7-1.

-One in seven.

-A one in seven shot of getting that right.

Let's see your next three answers.

THEY GROAN

OK, collective groan there. So, which one do we want to open first?

We absolutely said no Greek mythology.

So I don't think we answer that.

Reddit is an internet news aggregator type thing, I believe.

-Is it?

-Never Ever...

I don't know how specific they're going to want us to be on that.

-That's the trouble.

-Never Ever. I think that's a song.

-We don't want Ulysses.

-I think we should go for Reddit.

-Yeah, go on.

-Reddit.

-OK.

-When was Reddit formed? Get an idea of their age.

-I honestly don't know.

-I don't know that one.

-It's quite a good information source.

-If you think...

-It's got a big, I mean...

We'd know if it was Facebook or one of the big, Reddit's big, but...

It just says which website, it could be any website, couldn't it?

We've got to make a choice, I think given what we've got,

-I would go with that.

-That that's the right one?

-Yeah.

-OK.

-We can kill Paul if...

-Yeah, we'll... We've had fun.

-Kill Paul?

-We've had a lot of fun.

-We have had fun.

-Yeah.

I don't want the fun to stop, though. What do you want to do here?

-Lock answer.

-We're going to lock that in, I think.

-You're going to lock it in as correct.

-Yeah.

Very brave indeed.

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

-Ulysses was a single tome.

-It was a very long book.

-Would you know that?

I think I've always wanted to try and attempt to read it but

-never got round to it.

-Good girl.

-Very good short stories.

OK, let's have a look at the question behind Never Ever.

We wouldn't have known that.

-No idea.

-No idea about those.

So Ulysses turned out to be not Greek mythology at all.

And you avoided it on that basis, you would have known it.

-Anyway, it doesn't change anything. It's academic now.

-If it's right.

Is Reddit our correct answer?

THEY GASP

-Well done.

-Get out of jail card, that was.

Bravery, that was really courageous. Really courageous. Lesley.

Yes, well done. Paul, you recognised the website Reddit there

as quite a prominent website.

Serena Williams announced her engagement to Alexis Ohanian

on the subreddit I Said Yes.

Ulysses, that's not the correct answer here, it's Dubliners.

Briony, I don't think you're alone in never having read it,

Ulysses is a very long book, 700 pages.

Dubliners, short stories, a little more manageable.

Paul, when you saw Never Ever come up, you recognised that as a song.

It was a number one for the All Saints but that was back in 1997.

The correct answer here is Pure Shores.

That was a hit in 1999, the film having been released in 2000,

a Danny Boyle film starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

Thank you, Lesley. Let's have a look up there.

Two and five in your code, there's an empty space there.

It must be one, three, six,

seven, eight or nine.

-Which one are we going to go with next?

-Three is my lucky number.

Three's David's lucky number, so there we go.

Three is David's lucky number, is it going to be up there,

is it going to be 325? Who's going to punch in that number?

-I think Paul again.

-Paul! Leading the way.

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

Briony, David, Paul, you have selected David's lucky number three.

If three is the final number in your code, today,

you will be going home with £5,500.

-Deep breath, Paul.

-Exactly.

-Are you ready?

-I'm ready.

-Punch in the number three.

We're looking for 325. That would give us a five question finish.

Is it, for £5,500,

the final number?

-Oh.

-No. It's not.

We're going to have to do it all over again at least once.

-At least once.

-Dear, dear, dear.

-Not lucky on this occasion.

-No.

But look, another number gone. Five numbers remain.

Answer five of these questions correctly,

you will be taking home £5,500.

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

-Could be Master Johnson.

-Could be Dr Johnson.

-Boris.

Irish, could be anything. Whiskey.

Colonel Mustard's got to be Cluedo, hasn't it?

It's only Cluedo, or was there any term in the war or something,

-Colonel Mustard or anything like that?

-Colonel Bogey.

Well, shall we go Colonel Mustard?

At least it might be something to do with Cluedo.

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

Please be Cluedo!

-Oh.

-Oh, dear.

-Well, it's Miss Scarlett. Peacock, wasn't there? Yeah.

-Plum.

I wonder if Miss Scarlett would be politically incorrect now,

because of Ms and all of that? I'd say that's wrong.

-Would you?

-What do you want to do with that answer?

-Wrong.

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

OK, that has gone.

Now we have to open one of the other two answers

to have a look at the question.

-I think we open Johnson, do you?

-Johnson?

-OK.

-Johnson.

-We'll open Johnson.

-The question behind Johnson, please.

We've got Lyndon B Johnson, this century.

Where are we now? 40th?

-46th, isn't it?

-So ten ago would be LBJ. Shall we keep it?

-I think it might be right.

-Going to gamble again?

-Gamble again?

-Right, we're going to keep that one, I think.

-Yeah.

Let's lock in Johnson as our correct answer.

-Oh, OK.

-Well...

-Let's hope that is correct.

-Not entirely confident there.

-No, we're not.

-Either of those.

Let's open Irish, see if it makes us feel better, I hope it does.

Laurie Lee. Cider With Rosie. When was that written?

-No, that was last century.

-Yeah.

-I don't think that's...

-I don't think that's right.

-OK, well, it's academic.

-We've locked in Johnson.

-Yeah, we've done it.

-We've locked it in.

We've locked it in, we've committed to it.

Is Johnson the correct answer?

ALL: Yes!

-Oh, my word! I was sure it was Roosevelt.

-Were you?

-Absolutely sure. Thank goodness. Lesley...

-Well done.

-Yes, Matt, you would have got that one wrong.

-I would have.

Not the correct answer.

You can use the numbers 17 and 36 roughly to work out where about

these presidents were and you gave one of the names of the

Johnsons, Lyndon B Johnson from 1963.

That's when he became president on the assassination of JFK.

And the other Johnson, Andrew Johnson, became president

in 1865 after the assassination of Lincoln, so both Johnsons there

taking their position after the assassination of their predecessor.

Colonel Mustard,

you were discussing lots of possible options for characters in Cluedo.

And, Briony, before the question even came up

you identified Colonel Mustard as possibly being about Cluedo

so you were already in that frame of mind.

The answer is Mrs White, replaced by the plant toxicologist

Dr Orchid, who is represented by a pink playing piece.

Irish not the correct answer to the question there that you

couldn't see.

You were wondering about Laurie Lee and Cider With Rosie.

Yes, he is the author of that book. That's from 1959, not earlier.

It's not the Irish Civil War, which is in the 1920s,

but the Spanish Civil War. 1936-1939.

And Laura Lee and George Orwell each wrote books about their

experiences in those wars.

Thank you so much, Lesley.

Well done, guys. And what it means is this...

We have another chance to choose a digit from the keypad to see

if it's there in the code.

Which one next?

-Absolutely positively certain it's 9.

-Is going to be 9.

-It's going to be 9.

-It is.

-We're not messing around this time.

-We're going to be more positive.

-Yeah, that's the key.

-That'll make all the difference.

-That'll make the difference.

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

-Paul again.

-Paul, let's go.

-Third time lucky, let's do it.

-Three out of three if you get it, Paul.

Briony, David and Paul, you have selected the number 9.

If 9 is the final number, you will today go home with £5,500.

-If you're ready, Paul...

-I'm ready.

-Punch in the number.

925, that's what we're looking for. Is it there?

Is it the last number in your code? Is the last number a 9?

You were positive. You were positive.

I thought that was going to make the difference, being really positive.

-You just want us to answer more questions, don't you?

-It's not me!

-I want to give you the money. 9 is gone. Four numbers left.

-OK.

-How hard can it be?

-Yeah, very.

Just four little numbers, one of them must be in your code.

Three little answers, here they come.

-Wilson, yeah.

-OK, I'm up for going with Harold Wilson.

Let's see the question behind Harold Wilson, please.

-I don't think Churchill...

-Churchill had a couple. At least two.

-He was during the war and immediately...

-Immediately...

-He had a break and then he came back.

-Yeah. Harold Wilson, he was...

Callaghan came in after him. He had the Lib-Lab pact in...

-Was that him?

-I don't remember it being three times. I don't think...

-I think it's two.

-I think twice but I can't remember three.

-All right, shall we lock that out?

-I think we're seeing no to that.

No. That's a no.

-OK, we want to discard that is an incorrect answer.

-Yeah.

-OK.

That's out of the game now.

One of the other two, we are saying, must be the correct answer.

-Which one do you want to open next?

-She was in Les Mis, wasn't she?

-Up to you.

-Do you know anything about her?

Nothing about Straw Dogs,

so we might as well go for Anne Hathaway.

-OK, Anne Hathaway, please.

-The question behind Anne Hathaway.

-She was in a Shakespeare play, wasn't she?

-Well, she's an actress.

-But I think she was in...

-She was in the original play as well.

I think she was. The co-author was Bacon or Fletcher or something.

-Wasn't Anne Hathaway.

-I think it was a chap.

-I think it was.

-I'm happy to say that...

-So that's incorrect as well?

-Yeah.

Which one day want to lock in as the correct answer? ALL: Straw Dogs.

We're going to lock in Straw Dogs as our correct answer. Flying blind.

Let's have a look at the question, now,

behind Straw Dogs and see how it makes us feel.

-Was he in Straw Dogs?

-The original one.

-Could easily have been.

-OK.

-It's looking good.

-I'm a bit warmer about that.

-Are you feeling a bit better about that?

-I feel a little bit warmer.

-We feel warmer, we're feeling...

-Didn't say I was feeling good.

So, is Straw Dogs our correct answer?

Oh!

Flying completely blind, you looked, David,

-like you had the world on your shoulders there.

-I can do it.

-Too much.

-But listen, it's working. Straw Dogs. Lesley...

Yes, well done. The book's full title is

Straw Dogs - Thoughts On Humans And Other Animals

and the film famously banned in the UK for several years.

Harold Wilson not the correct answer.

He's been Prime Minister twice, in 1964 and 1974.

You talked about Churchill.

Churchill's also been Prime Minister twice, that was in 1940 and 1951.

The correct answer is Stanley Baldwin.

-He was Prime Minister in 1923, 1924 and again in 1935.

-Right.

Anne Hathaway, you were talking about an actress.

There is an actress currently working called Anne Hathaway

but we're talking about Shakespeare's wife.

The correct answer is Christopher Marlowe.

Credited on Henry VI Parts I, II and III.

-Well done, nicely navigated.

-We have the chance to choose another number.

-One, six, seven, eight.

-What you said originally.

-1?

-I think I'd go with what your gut thinks.

-The number one.

-Not at all confident this time, so reverse strategy.

-The number 1,

we're going to try. Who's going to try that?

Who's going to punch it in to the keyboard? Paul, join me at the safe.

Good luck, Paul. Do it this time. Do it this time.

Here we are again.

Briony, David, Paul, you have chosen the number 1.

If the number 1 is the final number in your code today,

you will go home with £5,500 and put us all out of our misery.

-Are you ready?

-I am ready.

-Paul, punch in the number.

125 feels right.

It's time now for us to see a 1 in that final slot of the code.

We're looking for 125 for these guys to take home £5,500.

-Not again.

-Three left.

-OK, OK. You are obviously enjoying the studio.

-That's what it is. You're enjoying...

-We don't want to go yet.

You're enjoying our company, you don't want to go back to Bath.

-Bath is a terrible place.

-Yes.

6, 7 and 8, that's all that's left.

One of them must be up there.

The only way we can get to it is by answering another question.

Let's have a look at your three answers.

My son's called James. Maybe.

But there's a lot of Jameses around so...

I don't think that's going to be the question.

-Wouldn't that be nice?

-That would be fantastic.

-What's your eldest son's name?

-That would help us all out.

That would be wonderful, yeah. OK, let's go Dinner.

-The two of you said Dinner.

-OK. The question behind Dinner, please.

Is obviously...

If it's the wrong answer, it's probably going to be called

-something like Breakfast or Supper or Lunch for...

-Or Lunch, yeah.

If we've never heard of it... Bit of a boring name for Heston as well.

-Yeah.

-That's a valid point.

-Yeah. Shall we discard that?

-Yeah, discard it.

-We're going to discard that.

OK, we're going to discard Dinner as an incorrect answer. Gone.

-Now, we have Time and James to choose from.

-James.

-OK, we'll go James.

-The question behind James, please.

-James And The Giant Peach. I think he did.

-Did he?

-You've got the youngest children.

-The other one was Matilda.

Danny, The Champion Of The World.

-It would be James And The Giant Peach, won't it?

-Yeah.

-So you think it might be that?

-Yeah.

The peach rolled down the hill, didn't it?

-And the worm and everything was inside the peach.

-Yes, it was.

I don't remember seeing a house at the top of the hill.

There being a small kind of gypsy caravan. In my mind.

It would be very Roald Dahl to have them living in a caravan,

-in a gypsy caravan, wouldn't it?

-Yeah, I'd go with you.

I think gut instinct again. I think we'll lock that in as right, then.

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

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

-Happy with the one we've got.

-Think we're going to go with that one?

I should know that.

OK, we need James to be the correct answer.

We need to see it turn green.

If it doesn't, if it turns red, then all of your brilliance so far,

it comes to nothing,

-except for the lovely time we've all had in the studio together.

-Exactly.

Let's not discount that. Is James our correct answer?

-Oh!

-Guys...

-It's all right.

-Well, we didn't know.

-Sorry, Briony.

-No, it's all right. No, we didn't know.

-It's not right.

-I'm so sad, guys.

-It must be Dinner.

-I thought you were going to do it.

Let's find out which was the correct answer.

-Dinner.

-It was Dinner.

It was the first one that you turned down, the first one you rejected.

Ah, yes, Briony, David, Paul, I thought when you opened Dinner

that you would get the correct answer there,

since you opened that one first.

On the website of Dinner By Heston Blumenthal it says that

dinner refers to the main meal of the day no matter whether it

is eaten at midday or in the evening.

Time, the wrong answer here to the question we couldn't see.

Time was founded in New York in 1923.

The correct answer here is The Economist.

James was the one that caught you out.

You said the name of the book featuring James and you gave

the name of the book which has the correct answer in it

which is Danny, as in Danny, The Champion Of The world.

Oh, that's my other son.

-You have sons called James and Danny?

-Yeah.

In James And The Giant Peach, the peach, as you say,

rolls down a hill. In Danny, The Champion Of The World,

the character lives with his father and they poach pheasants.

-Never mind.

-Tell me, just for pig iron,

which would have been your next number in the code?

If you'd got that question right, which one would it have been?

-6, apparently.

-Number 6. Let's find out what your code was.

-Don't be 6.

-Was it the number 6? Don't be 6.

-OK, so you would still have had...

-We still have been here.

You'd still have had some work to do.

You were going all the way but, unfortunately,

you just ran out of luck.

I'm afraid to say, Briony, David and Paul, on this occasion you've

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

-So sorry.

-Never mind. Thank you very much. Had a lovely time.

-Lovely to meet you, Briony.

-Thanks, Matt. Thanks very much.

-Take care. Cheers, Paul.

-Thank you, Lesley.

-Oh, no, what a shame.

They were awesome and playing for such a good cause as well but,

as we say, it's an easy game to play but a hard game to win,

as Briony, David and Paul have just demonstrated.

But good news for our next contestants as the jackpot

now goes up by another £500, making a total of £6,000.

That's all we have time for today. Thank you, Lesley.

Wasn't that hard-core?

Yes, it was but I was really impressed with their intelligent play.

They really assessed all of their options and thought very

carefully about the questions. I felt really sorry for them.

Yeah, indeed.

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.
