Episode 22 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.

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 code.

Here they come, welcome gentleman.

-Lovely to meet you, Bill.

-Hello.

-How are you?

-Fine.

-And Andy.

-Hello. All right?

-Good to see you.

And you're both from Somerset?

-Indeed.

-A lovely part of the world. How do you know each other?

Through the police force. We are both retired police officers.

I was Andy's sergeant. And we've known each other since 1989.

So if you were sergeant, were you inspector or constable?

I was constable and he was supposedly in charge of me.

How did that work out, was he a good boss?

Yeah, he was probably be one of the best sergeants I had to work with.

Tell me about families. Are you guys family guys?

I'm married, I've got four children, 13 grandchildren,

three great grandchildren with another great-grandchild on the way.

-How about you, Andy?

-I'm married, I've got two children, Sam is 26.

Had to think of it then!

Sophie is younger.

THEY LAUGH

But nobody knows by how much. Absolutely terrific.

Listen, what we would love to do is send you both back to Somerset with

something in your pocket at the end of the day. That would be fantastic.

The team that came before you -

well, it wasn't a team, it was a single player by himself -

unfortunately, he failed to crack the code.

Bad news for him, terrific news to you.

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

And that makes a total of £5,000.

-That's pretty good. That will come in handy.

-Sounds good to me.

-For the grandchildren?

-No, I'm going to go on holiday to Cuba.

Get away from them all! I'm not surprised.

£5,000 up for grabs.

All you need to do is open the safe and win that £5,000. And to do that,

you need to enter a code made up of three unique numbers.

They are all different, no doubles. We're going to reset the code.

There we go. Three blanks, turn those into three numbers,

that's the name of the game. Before we do anything else,

let me introduce you to the source of all our sagacity and veracity.

It's Lesley Brewis.

Hello, and welcome to The Code.

Now, pairs of friends have done very well on The Code.

So here's hoping you follow the same path, crack the code,

-and take that cash.

-Good luck. Thank you, Lesley.

Now, let's have a look, Bill and Andy, at your first three answers.

Here they come.

We'll start at the top and the question behind Freedom.

-I don't think so.

-No.

I'm trying to think of Wham!

"I don't want your freedom."

But don't remember the...

I think there was a Wham! song with something like Freedom in it.

-The lyric "I don't want your freedom" is there.

-Yeah.

So it could be there. Keep that one in mind.

-Let's put that on the evidence shelf.

-Yeah.

And have a look at the question behind four.

-That's not that...

-2010.

May 2010 he came in.

Five years and then... So that's not right.

And then there was a bit on after that as well, wasn't there?

Because he did five years with Nick Clegg as deputy.

-I think that's probably wrong.

-So that one is wrong.

-OK,

and let's have a look at the question behind Mr Bounce.

-No. That's Mr Bump.

-So in that case, it's got to be the top one.

"I don't want your freedom".

It must be.

Process of elimination. If you're sure about...

David Cameron was definitely... He came in in 2010,

but four years.

I'd say he was well over four years.

And we know it's Mr Bump.

I think we should lock in the top one, then.

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

If it's correct, they get to choose

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

If it goes red, it's means it's wrong, back to Minehead.

Is Freedom our correct answer?

Well done.

A little wobble to start with but we got there when we saw the other one.

-Lesley.

-Yes, two different songs called Freedom.

It seemed that you remember the lyrics to the Wham! hit.

Freedom '90, which was the later hit for George Michael as a solo artist,

was the one with the video where supermodels lip-synched the song and

George Michael didn't feature. Four not the right answer,

David Cameron Prime Minister from May 2010 to July 2016.

Six was the correct answer for that one.

You were happy with that one when you saw it.

And Mr Bounce, you knew that was the right answer - no bandages,

he has a hat which is shown falling off his head as he is bouncing

around upside down.

The correct answer, Mr Bump, exactly as you said.

Thank you, Lesley, yes, very good start indeed.

Using the power of elimination to discern the correct answer.

Very well, Bill and Andy.

Buys you a chance to choose a number from the keypad to try the code.

Which one is it going to be and why?

I think we should stick to what we discussed before.

-I think you're quite right.

-We said 2, 1, 9,

because 2 and 9 were in my collar number and 1 was in his.

-So we'll go with number 2.

-The number 2 to start with.

Let's see if it's there in the code.

Is it there in the first box?

It's not there. How about the second box?

No number 2. How about in the third and final box?

No number two.

-That's that theory gone, then.

-You know what?

It's not bad sometimes to get rid of the numbers and get them out of the

way at the early stages. Let's have a look at your next three answers.

We'll start at the top, with the question behind Trainspotting.

-I've got no idea!

-We'll leave that one for thinking.

-I don't think I ever watched Byker Grove.

-I didn't watch Byker Grove.

-And I lived in Byker.

-Trainspotting is a film with Ewan McGregor and

somebody else in it. But then again, they could have been trainspotting.

Let's have a look at the next one, the question behind Hertfordshire.

That could be.

-It could be.

-That could be.

-Again, we're not sure.

-We're not sure.

HS1 runs...that way.

London to...

Is it London to Birmingham?

That would take it through Hertfordshire.

But you've been to the Caribbean so...

Let's have a look and see what that one wants.

OK. The question behind Caribbean Sea.

-That one is the right answer.

-Is it? Sounds like a definite.

The Spanish Main was the Caribbean.

-Was it? Are you sure about that?

-I'm positive on that one.

Which one are we going to lock in?

The bottom one, Spanish Main is the Caribbean Sea.

That's locked in as the correct answer.

He'd like to use the money to escape from his family to go there.

Yes, indeed.

But he can't do that unless it is the correct answer.

Is Caribbean Sea the correct answer?

Got it. Nailed it. Well done, Bill.

-Brilliant stuff. Lesley.

-Yes, excellent work there.

You were much happier with the last question than with the other two.

Caribbean Sea the correct answer.

Good work. Now, Trainspotting not the right answer.

You weren't entirely comfortable with this one.

The correct answer is paintballing.

He took his goggles off and he was

hit in the eye by a paintball pellet.

The next question, Hertfordshire not the right answer.

HS1 one connects the UK end of the Channel Tunnel. Although HS2,

the proposed route of that, will go close to Hertfordshire.

The correct answer is Kent.

Thank you, Lesley,

and I'm very excited about your link to the Caribbean, Bill.

Because your hairstyle, if you'll permit me to say,

doesn't look to me to be typically police approved style.

-No, certainly not.

-Do you want to be a pirate?

-Oh, yeah.

-That's what you'd like?

-Oh, yeah.

OK. So if we win the jackpot today

it's going to fund a career of adventure on the high seas.

-Oh, indeed.

-Pirate Bill.

Let's have a look now.

Number 2's gone, still nothing in your code.

You've bought yourself a chance to choose another number.

-Are we still going with collar numbers?

-Yes and no.

Not his, mine.

-We're going to have 8.

-Number 8 was in your...

-My number.

-OK, let's have a look. Is number 8 in the code?

Have a look in the first box.

Is pieces of 8 there in the second box?

No. Is it there in the third box?

-Yes, we've got one.

-There we are, we've got one, as you say.

We have one. There's your code - blank, blank, eight.

All we need to do is fill the other two and we are on the high seas,

definitely. But things do become a little bit more difficult now,

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

and decide which is the correct answer.

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

-Well, Einstein had the theory of relativity.

-Yeah.

-Rats were the cause of the Black Death.

-Yeah.

-Medicine could be a very wide subject.

-Could be.

Which one do you want to go for first?

-Go for Rat.

-Rat.

-We'll go for rat.

-OK.

-It could be.

-It could very well be a rat.

-40 centimetres.

-I'm not sure why anybody would want to call it Dave.

But... 40 centimetres... what's that in real language?

What's that in English? I don't know.

We're struggling now, aren't we?

We're waffling there. Let's have a look at Einstein.

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

-That's a nasty one.

-They're both nasty, really, aren't they?

Because we don't know the answer.

I don't think it was Einstein because Apple would have had Newton.

Because the apple theory of gravity.

That makes sense, yes.

Isaac Newton because of the apple, yeah. I like your thinking there.

Are we going to gamble on Dave from Widnes?

I don't know what Dave from Widnes was.

We're struggling anyway here, aren't we?

Probably happy that Einstein is not the right answer.

Yeah, I'm happy with that one.

It's either guess on Medicine or Dave from Widnes.

-Let's go Dave from Widnes.

-We'll go Dave from Widnes.

-You wan to lock in Rat as your correct answer?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

That means we can have a look now at the question behind Medicine.

We're going home. We're going home, because that's the right answer.

-You absolutely sure about that?

-Yes, positive.

Roger Bannister, he broke the four-minute mile, he was a doctor.

And Harry Hill is definitely a doctor.

I think Liam Fox is a doctor.

I think we've come to the end of the line.

Let's not shake hands and kiss yet.

Let's find out if you're right. I hope it's not the case.

Is Rat the correct answer?

I think you pretty much knew, didn't you?

Let's find out what is the correct answer.

You knew it as soon as you saw it.

So sorry, guys. Lesley.

Oh, Bill and Andy,

I think if you did have Medicine as one of your options,

you would have known that immediately,

you recognise those as people from the medical profession.

Let's look at the wrong answers.

Einstein, you figured out the Apple connection, that is Newton.

The original logo featured Newton

sitting up at the tree as in the legend

of his epiphany regarding gravity.

Rat the wrong answer.

Yes, rats do get pretty long but not as long as Dave the earthworm.

Earthworms apparently can live for up to six years.

You may have six-year-old earthworms in your back garden.

Very bad luck having chosen that as the option there.

Rats, incidentally, can be as long as 26 centimetres in body length

and 25 in their tail.

-Got it wrong.

-Lesley, thank you very much.

What can I say, gentlemen?

It's just that next stage where you can't see all the questions,

that was the one to trip you up.

I have to say that, Captain Bill,

it would have been a pleasure serving under you.

That would have been delightful.

Well, I'll just have to go pirating on the Severn Estuary now.

I'm sure you wouldn't be alone!

Listen, the very best of luck.

Cuba might have to wait but I have to say, on this occasion,

Bill and Andy, you failed to crack the code so you have to

leave the game. Thank you so much for coming in and playing.

-Lovely to meet you, Bill.

-Thank you.

-Nice to meet you, Andy.

-Thank you very much indeed for your help.

You're welcome.

A-harr! Two ex-coppers turned pirates.

Their dreams didn't come true, sadly, though.

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

Another £500 is added to the jackpot,

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

-Good to see you guys, how are you? Suda, how are you?

-Hi.

-Lovely to see you. And Simon.

-That's me.

-Yeah, how are you?

So I know you're from Brighton and Sydenham,

which is just outside London.

-That's right.

-Well, how do you know each other in the first place?

We've done some quizzing together in various London pubs.

-OK. You know London pubs pretty well?

-Yeah.

-OK.

And hopefully general knowledge, as well, as a result.

-Yeah.

-Are you all-rounders, or are you just very good at what you know?

-We have our weaknesses.

-Yeah. We...

-We think we complement each other...

-Yeah.

-..in our subjects.

-We overlap on some of our knowledge areas.

We're both pretty weak on sport.

So, if sport comes up, let's hope we have the option to avoid knowing it

before we crack on and, listen, the very best of luck.

The team before you, Bill and Andy, sadly, failed to crack the code.

But that is terrific news for you.

Because it means another £500 is added to the pot and that gives us

a total of £5,500.

Any ideas what you might do with half of that?

Well, my sister's getting married next year,

so I think she might get a slightly early wedding present.

-Oh, fantastic.

-A contribution towards that.

-What a lovely thought.

-How about you, Simon?

-Well, my sister lives in Vancouver,

so a trip out there would be great.

Terrific stuff. Well, let's see if we can help you do that.

Let's reset the code.

Three blanks, we want to turn those into three numbers.

If you can do that, the three unique numbers of your code,

then the safe will open and what's inside is yours.

£5,500.

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

We'll start at the top. The question behind Princess Beatrice.

I'm pretty sure that's...

-I'm pretty sure it's Prince... Oh, yes.

-Peter Phillips?

Yes. So Princess Anne's children?

Pretty sure Beatrice and Eugenie are younger than Will and Harry,

-at least.

-At least, yeah.

-So, yeah, that's probably wrong.

Pretty sure that's wrong.

OK. Strong steer on that.

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

I'm reasonably sure that's Kazakhstan.

-It's huge.

-I'll bow to your knowledge on that.

Or possibly Afghanistan is also quite big,

but I don't think it's Uzbekistan.

Let's move on and look at the question behind S Club 7.

-Definitely.

-Yeah.

-We think that's right.

-Yeah, that's definitely right.

Something you were into at the time, you guys?

-Aware of, more...

-Aware of, I would say, yeah.

OK, one of those has to be locked in as the correct answer.

-Which one will it be?

-I think we should go for S Club 7.

-We'll go for S Club 7.

-Let's lock in

S Club 7 as a correct answer.

If it is correct, it'll turn green.

It'll give you the chance to enter a number into the keypad,

see if it's there in the code.

Is S Club 7 the correct answer?

Absolutely. Not too much doubt there.

I think. Pretty straightforward.

-Lesley.

-Yes, that was very assured.

When the options came up I saw you nodding a lot, almost as though

you were writing the questions before you could see them.

S Club 7 the correct answer, that's Tina Hammond, Hannah Spearritt,

Rachel Stevens and Jo O'Meara.

Princess Beatrice not the right answer there.

Princess Beatrice was born in 1988.

The correct answer, exactly as you said, Peter Phillips, born in 1977,

before his sister Zara in 1981.

Uzbekistan. Not correct here again.

You gave the correct answer to this question, which is Kazakhstan.

Pakistan is the second biggest.

Kazakhstan is over six times bigger than Uzbekistan.

-Well done. A good start.

-Thank you. It gives you the first chance to try

a number into the keypad, see if it's there in the code.

-Which one are you going to go for and why?

-I don't think we have

-a system, do we?

-No. We have no real superstitions around numbers.

But we thought we'd try and make a pretty pattern, didn't we?

So we'll start in the middle-ish. Go for number 5, please.

Number 5. Let's see if number 5 is there in our code.

Is it there in the first box?

No number 5. How about the second box?

No number 5. How about the third and final box?

No number 5 in your code.

However, it's discounted. We don't have to worry about it

and we carry on playing the game where you

can see all of the questions at the same time.

It's a massive help. Here we go. Your next three answers.

We'll start at the top. The question behind 9.

I think it jumped straight to 10.

OK. I will have to bow to your superior knowledge on this.

I'm pretty sure it jumped straight to 10 and there was no 9.

OK, the question behind Henry Heimlich.

You know the Heimlich manoeuvre?

This is the manoeuvre for stopping people from choking. I'm pretty sure

there was a news story which said that,

even though he's 96 years old, this is the first time he's had

the opportunity to actually use the manoeuvre that is named after him.

So I'm fairly sure that's right.

-We'll see.

-OK.

OK. Let's look at the question behind Heavy Mob.

-That's a press gang.

-Right.

So I don't think... I think that one's wrong, as well.

OK, we have three questions, three answers there.

Which one do you want to lock in?

-Heimlich?

-Yes.

-Yeah?

If it is correct, then you get to choose another digit,

see if it's there in the code.

Is Henry Heimlich the correct answer?

-Yay.

-Great stuff.

Not really in doubt, I thought. Lesley, what do you reckon?

No, you seemed pretty happy with that one.

Henry Heimlich the correct answer.

The method of dislodging foreign objects, food,

from people's throats to stop them from choking.

9 not the right answer here. Possibly they skipped 9

to avoid confusion with Windows 95 and Windows 98.

The correct answer here is Windows 10,

which again you were very comfortable with.

And Heavy Mob not the right answer here.

Again, Simon coming in with the correct answer, which is press gang.

Also the name of a '90s children's TV show starring Dexter Fletcher.

The correct term is impressment, but press gang is the colloquial phrase.

Thank you, Lesley. Yes, and you two,

snatching the answers one by one.

All of which provides you the chance

to put another digit into the keypad,

see if it is there in the code.

5 has gone. Which one would you like to try next?

-We'll go on the diagonal and go for 3 or 7?

-Yeah. Go for 3, I think.

-3.

-Yeah, we're making pretty patterns.

Number 3, is it up there in your code? Let's have a look.

No number 3 there. How about the second box?

No number 3. How about the third and final box?

-Oh.

-Oh.

-Oh, indeed.

3 is there in your code in the final box.

Blank, blank, 3 is what we've got.

Which is great, we are making progress.

However, it does mean that things become a bit trickier.

The luxury of having all three questions to compare and contrast,

that's now gone.

So, if you're ready, we'll have a look at your next three answers.

At this point, it does become important the order in which you

-choose them.

-I don't think we should pick sport, do you?

Well, considering we basically said it's our kryptonite.

-I mean, sport would be the answer, so it's...

-It's not a category.

Old English could be...

-I mean, that could be...

-A sheepdog.

-"What does a word come from?"

Oiks might be the wrong answer for right answers that are sort of

synonyms. Like yahoos, or... Something like that, you see.

-Let's go for Oiks, then.

-OK.

-Let's give that a go.

-The question behind Oiks, please.

-Oh.

-I don't have a clue on that.

Me neither.

I know he's now Lord Fellowes, but that doesn't really help.

I vaguely recall it.

I just can't remember what it's called,

but I think it was something more to do with being something much posher.

But I don't...

Honestly, I'm sort of not really trusting my brain on this.

-It's not helpful.

-Yeah.

-You get to open another one before you have to make a decision.

-Yeah.

Old English, then, if we are avoiding sport.

Yeah. Because if that's a right answer we know to be right...

-OK.

-Yeah.

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

Now, I'm thinking that might be...

See, I heard Old English.

-I think it is Old English, isn't it?

-Because it's not Middle English.

-Yeah.

-But is it Danish?

-So I know Seamus Heaney translated Beowulf.

-Mm-hm.

So I'm wondering if it's not Danish,

-because I wouldn't have thought he could speak...

-No.

-..Danish.

-And Old English sounds...

-It's more kind of Norse, though, but...

Old English may have been rooted in Norse.

Gosh, it's tough, isn't it?

It is tough. We've got no idea what sport is.

So you think it's probably another Julian Fellowes novel rather than

-someone else's?

-I'm wondering if he wrote a novel called Plebs.

I don't know. Something like that is ringing a bell.

Now that... That sounds more...

Yeah, that's ringing more of a bell.

So I think Oiks is wrong.

All right.

-I don't know.

-What would you like to do?

We'd like to open sport.

Yes, I can imagine you would!

-We'll go for Old English.

-Shall we?

Yeah. I'm sorry, Simon, if this is wrong.

-We'd like to lock in Old English as our correct answer?

-Yeah.

We can't change it now.

And that means we can - your wish is granted, Simon -

open the question behind Sport.

-Travel.

-Travel programmes.

-How does that make you feel about your choice there?

-It makes us feel

a bit better about the sport one, because he did travel.

-I think.

-So as long as our hunch is right for Julian Fellowes.

-Yeah.

-Then we're more confident than we were.

Are we a little bit wobbly here?

-Very wobbly.

-Which we haven't been up till now.

Well, let's see if we can banish those wobbles.

Is Old English our correct answer?

-Yes!

-Well done.

Good instinct, guys, very good.

-Lesley.

-Very well done. Yes, good thinking.

Your thought about Seamus Heaney having translated Beowulf lead you

in the right direction, because you correctly said he wouldn't have

translated it from Danish. Indeed, he translated it from Old English.

It's by an unknown author - over 3,000 alliterative lines in Beowulf.

Set in Scandinavia, which is probably why, Simon,

you were thinking of Denmark.

-Yeah, yeah.

-Sport not the right answer for Alan Whicker.

Again, you came in with the correct answer,

as well as dismissing this as wrong.

Better associated with travel, especially through Whicker's World.

Oiks, completely wrong for Julian Fellowes' book.

When you said that you thought the title was posher than Oiks,

you were thinking along the right lines.

The correct title is Snobs.

Yes, in fact the questions you don't claim to know very much about,

you then give us chapter and verse on, which is fantastic.

Let's have a look now at the keypad.

We have the number 3 up there in your code.

We've got eight other digits to choose from.

Which one would you like to try next?

If we go for noughts and crosses and you said 7 before,

-shall we have 7 now?

-Go 7 now, then.

-The number 7, let's have a look.

A nice diagonal line across the keypad.

But does that translate into something in our code?

Is it there in our first box?

-Oh, no.

-Oh, no!

-Interesting.

-Why "Oh, no"?

-Well...

-Things get a lot harder now.

-Things are considerably harder.

Well, you know there are positives and there are negatives here.

Yes. Look, your code - fantastic.

That's up there.

-Only one more digit to find...

-Yeah.

..to complete the code for the door to swing open and you to have

that jackpot. £5,500.

But there are still seven numbers

on the keypad to work through

and now we have reached the trickiest bit of the quiz.

OK, here we go. Your next three answers.

-Love it.

-Yew is a tree.

-Yeah.

The Know-Nothings are a party.

They were a political party and I'm just trying to remember which...

Right. You think about that.

John Snow, it could be the Channel 4 News presenter.

John Snow the Channel 4 News presenter has not got an H in it.

Ah!

So this could be Game Of Thrones?

Yes. How are you with your Game Of Thrones?

I've seen it.

-Do you want to...?

-Shall we go for John Snow first, then?

Go for John Snow and hope that it's that,

or something about Game Of Thrones we know about?

Yeah. Yeah. So let's go for John Snow.

We'd like to look at the question behind John Snow.

I don't know cricketers, really.

-That doesn't help.

-That really doesn't help.

We don't know anything about cricketers.

Sport, you did say very early on,

that was not what you wanted to pick up,

but I don't think you were expecting...

-We're not expecting...

-..a tricky question.

It's a one in three chance.

So if we went on pure odds,

because we don't know what the answer might be...

I would think someone called Bob might take the middle name Dylan.

I don't know.

-Maybe.

-I don't know, though.

I have nothing to...

I think we have to decide if it's right or wrong.

Yeah. I think, shall we, on the grounds that it might be wrong,

and hoping that... We've got a one in three chance of it being...

..the right answer and a two in three chance of it

being the wrong answer.

-So we say wrong?

-Shall we say wrong and just hope and pray it's wrong?

All right, we're saying wrong with our fingers crossed.

Yeah, based on no knowledge whatsoever.

On a purely statistical basis,

-we want to discard John Snow as an incorrect answer.

-Yeah.

That's gone, it's out of play.

That means we now have to choose between Yew and Know-Nothing,

which one to open next.

Did you get any further in your thinking with...

Know-Nothing, I think, if the...

question...the precedent comes up in the question...

-You think you'll know...

-I can discard it as yes or no.

Do you think it is likely to be anything else?

-Have you heard it used in any other context?

-No. But it could be.

-Could be.

-Because I wasn't anticipating the John Snow thing...

-No, absolutely.

-OK.

-So we'll still go with...

Know-Nothing, please.

We'd like to see the question behind Know-Nothing.

That sounds like...

So that was the... So mid-19th is 1850.

-Yeah.

-Millard Fillmore and Franklin Pierce are around that

period so I think that has a chance of being right.

I'm willing to go with your instinct on that.

You did say before we opened it up, so...

Yeah. But I knew it was a political party,

I don't know if it's the name for the American Party.

-Yes.

-But...

I know one of the presidents was a member of the Know-Nothing

and it was a president from around that period.

That's stacking up, I think.

On the balance of probability, now we've got one and two...

We're back to our statistics again.

But I have... All of it sounds about right.

I think it's safer to say that's right.

We have to identify one of those as the correct answer.

Either Yew or Know-Nothing. Now, we discarded John Snow.

-So shall we say that's the correct...?

-Yes.

-Yep.

So we're going to say that Know-Nothing is correct.

OK, we're going to lock in Know-Nothing as our correct answer.

Now, we can't change that now,

so it means we can open Yew and have a look at the question behind that

and hopefully that's going to make us feel brilliant.

I don't know, but I would have thought yew because...

-No, yew's...

-You get them in graveyards and I wouldn't have

-thought of it as a mountain tree, would you?

-No. No.

That's making you feel a little bit better, possibly?

-Yeah, we don't know for a fact.

-We're still on shaky ground.

We are on shaky ground now for the first time, really...

Not really knowing, or knowing...

not nothing but next to nothing about what's going to happen next.

Is Know-Nothing

our correct answer?

-Yes!

-Fantastic! That's a relief!

-You're playing so well.

-Don't think my heart can take it!

-Genuinely playing so well.

It's so hard now.

You started with a question you had no idea about,

you professed to have no knowledge

about sport and you came off the back of that, came up with

the right answer. Brilliant work.

-Lesley.

-Yes, well done, Know-Nothing the correct answer.

You mentioned Millard Fillmore and you were correct to associate

Millard Fillmore with the Know-Nothings,

they supported his presidential bid in 1856.

Yew not the right answer,

yew trees not associated with mountains but with churchyards,

there's a yew in Wales which is over 5,000 years old.

The correct answer is the rowan.

-Also known as the quickbeam.

-OK.

Looking at John Snow, you came up with lots of John Snow -

either with or without the H.

You mentioned Jon Snow the newsreader, no H,

Jon Snow from Game Of Thrones, also no H, and the John Snow, the bowler,

which the question referred to,

probably the worst of the John Snows that could have come up for you and

that was John Augustine Snow, nothing to do with Bob Dylan,

the correct answer Bob Willis.

Robert George Dylan Willis.

RGD Willis. Well navigated through what was a tricky set for you.

Yes, you're a long way from knowing nothing, you guys,

you know a great deal and this is what you need to know now.

The last number in your code is waiting.

You have got seven to choose from, it's long odds,

but that's not to say it can't happen.

You'll be the quickest to do it this series if that's what happens.

-OK, so...

-In terms of choosing numbers...

-Did you want to do the corners?

-1 or 9?

Do you want to do 1?

Yeah, all right. We'll do 1.

-Because we went top, bottom.

-Yeah. Number 1.

-Number 1.

-And who is going to join me at the safe?

-You are.

-I'll go this time.

-OK.

-Don't think my heart can take it.

Let's make our way to the safe.

You've chosen the number 1.

If the number one is the last number

in your code then the door will swing open and you go home today

with £5,500.

Are you ready, Simon?

Yes. I can do this.

Yes, you can. Punch in the number 1.

That's it. 713 is the code that we are looking for.

It's a long shot but it's going to get us out of here quickly.

Is number 1 the last number in our code?

-OK. OK, I said it was a long shot.

-Yeah.

-I did say that, didn't I?

-You did.

-A long shot.

-OK, let's go back, let's have another crack.

-Right.

-Listen,

the way that you're playing, I have no doubt you can go right the way

through this. Yeah?

We've got six left there to choose from.

2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 0.

The simple truth is - you find the correct answer another six times,

you're taking home five and a half thousand pounds.

One way or the other, so concentrate on the questions,

the numbers will look after themselves.

Let's see how we do. Are you ready?

-Yes.

-OK, let's see your next three answers.

OK. So...the Vomitorium

I think was a place in Roman

banquets, wasn't it,

where people went out...

-To...

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-I think the black period might be...

-It sounds arty.

-It might be a wrong thing with Picasso,

so it could be...

Rose period, blue period, maybe.

Eton College, School in Windsor.

-Or just outside Windsor, in Berkshire.

-Right.

I mean, it could be people who went to Eton College.

What do you think?

I'm wondering if Vomitorium is the most niche one of those.

-Yeah.

-There's only a few things it could be.

I'm pretty sure it's the exit.

I remember thinking, oh, that's a really disgusting way to describe

leaving. Vomiting people out.

I think people sort of famously

believe it's where Romans would

throw up to make more room.

Yeah. But it's actually

where people went out.

So shall we go for Vomitorium?

Because, I mean, what else could it be?

Well, it's...a Roman looking word.

Shall we go for that and then hopefully that can let us know?

-Yes.

-Yes, let's go.

Yep. We're going to look at the question behind Vomitorium.

I think we're saying that's right.

I think that's pretty much what we described, wasn't it, before

the question came out, so shall we say that one is the right one?

We think that's the correct answer.

It will be very efficient if it is the case.

Well, we're going to look really stupid if it's wrong, now.

Well, no, listen...

-Rapid exit.

-It's the trickiest bit of the quiz but we want to lock in

Vomitorium as the correct answer, that's what we're saying.

-Yeah.

-Mm-hmm.

OK, this is called the short cut.

But it does mean we can open the others and have a look and see if

-that makes us feel better...

-OK.

-..or slightly nauseous.

-Cry!

-As the name would suggest...

The question behind Black period, please.

I'm pretty sure that was his Rose period or...

Pretty sure. Our friend Amy will be shouting at us,

or shouting at the television.

OK, so that doesn't shake our confidence in Vomitorium.

-No.

-No.

-The question behind Eton College, please.

I have a feeling it was something like Westminster.

My brain is saying Westminster or Winchester.

Or Winchester or something... I don't think that was Eton.

-I don't think it was Eton.

-Because I think, like...

Farage used to try and sell himself very much as a man of the people and

if he had gone to Eton I think...

It would be... A lot more, not quite fitting.

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Well, I tell you what, it is

academic because we've got Vomitorium locked in now.

-Yeah.

-So that is the answer we've selected as the correct

answer, but seems to me you're still pretty confident in that.

I think so. Yeah, having seen the three.

If you'd seen all three you would have gone for that one anyway.

OK. If we're that confident, all we have to do is turn it green.

Is Vomitorium the correct answer?

-Nailed it.

-Fantastic!

-Yeah.

-Another one bites the dust.

-Lesley.

-Excellent work.

Yes, you weren't distracted by the myth of it being a room in a stately

home where people go to make more room so that they can eat more food.

Vomitorium coming from the word meaning to spew and pour fourth,

not from anything a little bit less tasteful.

Let's look at the wrong answers, then.

Black period, very impressive Picasso knowledge.

Suda, you said, when you saw this

question, "No, that's the Rose period."

And that's exactly the right answer.

You've got your Picasso periods nailed there,

and if you'd opened that as a question it would not have bothered

you in the slightest. Eton College, Simon,

you said that you remembered Eton College was in Berkshire,

just over the river from Windsor.

That's not the correct answer.

What we're looking for here is Dulwich College.

-Ah.

-Dulwich.

-But there are lots of actors who went to Eton like

-Eddie Redmayne.

-Thank you, Lesley.

-Not far from where I live.

-Yes. Well, guys,

fantastic work once again working through those answers with great

knowledge, super intelligence and let's have a look.

We still have six digits to choose from on the keypad.

It's a one in six shot.

That's all it's going to be, so choose very carefully.

If you get it, you will be our fastest winners this series.

We may as well stick with the system.

-Yeah, so shall we go for 9?

-Yeah.

-Yeah. Right.

-The number 9?

-Yeah.

OK, who's going to join me at the safe?

-I'm going to do it this time.

-You're going to do it this time.

-Yeah.

-OK. Suda, join me at the safe.

Suda, Simon,

you've chosen the number 9.

If 9 is the last number in your code,

then the door is going to open on

the safe and you are taking home £5,500.

-Are you ready?

-Yup.

Punch in the number.

7-9-3 is the one we're looking for.

9, is it the last number in our code?

If it is, Suda,

you're going to have your hands on £5,500 very soon.

Is 9 the final number in the code?

-SUDA GASPS

-Oh, my word!

Oh, my goodness!

The safe is open.

-Suda, away you go.

-Wow!

There it is.

-Look at that.

-Very nice.

And go and join Simon, well done!

I've never seen that much money.

I don't think I've ever seen this much money in one place at the same time.

Well, that's it, look, you have now.

-Wow.

-Let's just have a look to be absolutely clear,

that's always been in the safe, your code, 7-9-3,

-it was the code all along.

-I said guessing it would be better!

There we go. Well, yes, it seemed to do the trick.

Suda and Simon, what can I say? You played brilliantly.

I'm so happy for you because it was clear as you were going through as

confidently as you did with those questions I was sure you were going

to get there. Lesley.

That was a marvellous performance.

Yes, showing us both breadth and depth of knowledge,

navigating many different topics.

Very well-deserved, well done.

-Thank you.

-I'm really, really happy for you.

So there we are, Suda,

you've got the money to put towards your sister's wedding.

Now you did say that, you can't take that back.

Yeah, I know! I didn't say how much, though.

That's true. And Simon, you can visit your sister in Vancouver.

-I can!

-Suda and Simon, you have managed to crack the code.

And therefore we wish you all the best,

but with your money it's time to leave the studio.

-Thank you very much.

-Thanks very much.

Lovely to meet you. Well done, Simon.

-Thank you, Lesley.

-Thank you.

Well... A big congratulations to Suda and Simon,

£5,500, our sixth winners on the series so far.

The jackpot's been won and that means

the prize returns to £3,000 but...

It's all we've got time for.

Lesley, thank you so much.

-What about that?

-You're very welcome.

It always makes really happy when we get a winner, I'm very pleased.

Yes, a couple of very smart cookies indeed.

Please be sure to join us tomorrow

to see if another team can do what Suda and Simon

have done in cracking the code and winning the cash.

Thank you so much for watching. And goodbye.
