Episode 5 The Code

Hello and welcome to The Code.

Locked in this safe is £13,500, the highest prize we've ever had.

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.

So, let's see if our next team can crack that code.

Here they are. Come on down, gentlemen.

Lovely to see you, Scott.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

-And David.

-Yes.

-How do you guys know each other?

-We're brothers.

-You're brothers?

I'm the older brother, as you can tell

from David's youthful good looks.

He's a couple of inches taller than you, though.

-Yeah.

-Now, tell me a bit about yourselves. Where are you from?

I'm Scott, I'm 32, I'm from Edinburgh.

I'm a self-employed subtitler.

-And how about you, David?

-I work in a call centre.

I'm David, 29,

I work in a call centre through the day,

I play a lot of music. That's sort of my main interest.

Were you the band at Scott's wedding?

My band WERE playing, but...

I got to hang up my drumsticks for the evening.

David was the best man. He was under strict instructions,

"You cannot play the drums at all."

-It was tough, it was tough.

-MATT LAUGHS

So, just to let you know, the team before you weren't successful,

which is bad news for them but good news for you because that means

another £500 goes into the safe,

and that means the total is now...

£13,500.

-Wow.

-Yeah.

To open the safe and win £13,500,

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

Every time you pick the correct answer

you get the chance to choose a number

and the computer will then reveal if that IS part of your code.

But be warned,

if you pick an incorrect answer at any point,

bro time is over, I'm afraid,

and you'll be back on your way to your respective homes.

It's an easy game to play, but it's a very hard game to win,

as we have been seeing. OK.

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

Three blanks,

those have to become three numbers

if we're going to be successful here.

But before we start, let me introduce you to our oracle,

our walking encyclopaedia, Lesley Brewis...

Hello. welcome to The Code.

-Hi.

-Brothers.

We haven't yet had any winners that are related to each other.

I hope you'll be the first.

Remember, if you pick three numbers in a row, this could be all over

in three correct answers. Easy.

-Oh, yeah(!)

-Easy.

-Good luck.

-Easy! It's never been done.

MATT LAUGHS

OK, Scott, David, it's lovely to have you with us.

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

Let's start at the very top and see the question behind Red.

I'm not aware of colours being awarded...

I think it's blues. I think it's blues.

I think the rowing teams might be blue.

Well, the good thing is you don't have to make a decision yet,

so let's have a look at the question behind Biplane.

-Sounds about right to me.

-Does it?

I couldn't say with certainty, but it sounds about right to me.

-OK.

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

-Ah.

-Ah.

-Right...

Well, that's Capricorn...

You know that for a fact?

I believe so.

I think our mother's a Sagittarius

and she's middle of December...

-OK.

-But I think the colour's blue,

I think the bottom one's Capricorn,

Are you saying that I was right?

Mmm...!

-Possibly.

-There's a first time for everything.

So...

the correct answer would be

biplane. The Sopwith Camel is a biplane.

You're conceding to your little brother. Let's lock in Biplane.

If it's wrong, I'm afraid that's it,

you will be on your way home.

So -

is Biplane our correct answer?

-Good work!

-Well done. Well done.

A minor victory for David there, we feel. Lesley.

Yes, David, you were happy with Biplane

as a plausible answer as soon as this question came up.

The Sopwith Camel first used in 1917.

It was called the Sopwith Camel by the pilots

because there was a hump created by a metal fairing

that was designed to protect the guns from freezing

at high altitude.

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

Scott, you knew that this was Blue, not Red, as the correct answer.

Blue's awarded for people competing usually in varsity competitions -

Oxford versus Cambridge and the like.

There is no blue for quizzing though, more's the pity.

And Sagittarius is mid-November to mid-December,

followed by Capricorn, which you said as the right answer

so well done, well worked out.

Yes, gentlemen, a very strong showing. Good teamwork.

-Not bad.

-It means that it's time now

to pick a number from the keypad.

Which one do you want to pick first?

-Well, we were both born in February so...shall we go for 2?

-Let's do it.

The number 2. Is the number 2 there in your code?

Let's have a look at the first box.

No. Is it there in the second box?

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

-Ah...

-No 2.

Don't be disappointed though, because it's good

to get through the numbers at the easy stage of the game.

Are you ready for your next three answers?

-Yes.

-Scott and David, here they are.

Let's start at the top, the question behind Mulan.

You're asking the wrong guy!

-Shall we move on?

-Yeah, I think we need to move on.

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

-Mm...

-There's a lot of islands in the Med...

-Yeah.

..a lot of islands.

And Sicily seems quite small.

We know Sicily IS an island in the Mediterranean - that's a start.

Yeah, that's definitely a start.

Let's look at the question behind Squib.

I think that sounds right to me. A squib. I couldn't be certain...

No, I think it's maybe a squaw...?

Squaw?

I think.

How are we feeling about those?

Oh...! Loving life right now.

Not terribly happy with those.

No.

Largest island in the Med...

I don't think it's Sicily, there's a lot of islands in the Med.

Cyprus is in the Med... Cyprus would be...bigger...

cos it's a country and Sicily's not.

-You think it's a squib?

-I think so.

Goes down like a wet squib, I guess.

If a young pigeon's wet, it can't fly.

-There we go.

-I see what you've done there.

-Let's go for Squib.

-Let's go for... Let's...

Let's lock in Squib.

We want to lock in Squib as our correct answer.

If that is the correct answer, it will go green -

you get the chance to choose a second member for your code.

If it's wrong, I'm afraid bro time is over.

-We don't want that just yet.

-No.

-Not yet.

So...

is Squib our correct answer?

-Ah...!

-I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

Scott and David, let's find out which one was the correct answer.

-It WAS Sicily.

-Oh, wow.

-The first one you rejected, wasn't it?

Oh, Scott and David, I'm so sorry that you came unstuck there.

It's not squib, but a SQUAB.

Squib was a form of explosive device.

You discussed the expression "damp squib" -

squibs don't function very well when they're wet, hence the phrase.

The other answers -

Sicily the largest island in the Mediterranean,

Sardinia's the second, and Cyprus, which you mentioned,

third largest in the Mediterranean.

You are fairly confident that Mulan was the wrong answer

to the Shakespearean Disney question.

The correct answer, Ariel the Little Mermaid

and Ariel the spirit that serves Prospero in The Tempest.

I'm so sorry, guys.

I was hoping that we could have a longer run than this,

just so we could see you guys working together

because it's clear that you've got such a tight bond, the two of you.

What can I say? Hang around together here as long as you want,

and have your bro time.

But, Scott, David, on this occasion

you have failed to crack the code

and so we have to say goodbye to you.

-Thank you.

-Thanks.

-Thanks, Lesley.

Ah... A quick exit, unfortunately.

However, their loss is our next team's gain

because the jackpot goes even higher.

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

Welcome, welcome.

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

-Lovely, thanks.

-And Stuart.

-Hi.

How are you? All right,

tell me a little bit about yourselves then.

Where are you from?

-Erm... We're both from London, different ends of London.

-Yeah.

I'm north, he's south.

Right, OK.

And how do you know each other then?

Erm... Through quizzing really,

we've been to various pub quizzes

and have made a group of friends who do that.

So one north, one south - meet by the river somewhere for a quiz.

-Normally meet in the middle.

-OK. That sounds perfect.

Nina, I understand you like to travel.

I dream of travelling, but I do travel.

-Where would you like to go?

-I'd love to go to Japan.

My partner goes out every year at the moment for work,

so hopefully I'd like to join him one year.

-I lived in Japan for three years, close to Tokyo.

-Wow.

It's the most incredible place, so, yes, good aim. A good target.

Listen, Nina, Stuart, thank you so much for coming on.

You're in a great position right now because Scott and David,

the team before you, unfortunately they failed to beat the code.

Bad news for them, great news for you,

because it means another £500

goes into the safe and that takes the total

to £14,000.

That's a cool seven grand each.

That will get you to Japan and back

probably a few times, actually.

It's pretty good. If you're ready,

Nina and Stuart, we'll reset the code.

So, three blanks. We need to turn those into three unique numbers.

If you're ready, Nina and Stuart,

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

Let's start at the top

and have a look at the question behind Canterbury.

Could be, couldn't it?

It could but I...

-I'm drawing a blank on it.

-I've not heard of it.

-Me, too.

-This might have to be a process of elimination.

-I think so.

-Let's start that process now.

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

OK, I know that's not Herbaceous.

That's horticultural.

OK. And the question behind Smell.

No, he's blind.

It's sight, isn't it?

And he still tries to drive.

OK, so we've got our three answers there -

only one of them can be correct.

We're going to go for Canterbury

being the correct answer.

OK. We want to lock in Canterbury

as our correct answer.

If it's wrong, I'm afraid you will be on your way home.

So, let's find out - is Canterbury the correct answer?

There you go. First correct answer.

Yes, when the first question came up, you weren't entirely confident.

It sounded plausible but you weren't sure.

The other two having come up, you were confident,

knowing the correct answers to the wrong questions,

that Canterbury was the right answer.

Augustine's Abbey, birthplace reputedly of St Augustine,

the first Archbishop of Canterbury, now in ruins.

Herbaceous, not correct,

you knew this straightaway.

Nina, you said horticultural,

and that's the correct answer there.

And smell, again, you both knew

that he didn't have trouble

with his smell but his sight.

Often described in TV guides

as featuring "myopic mayhem".

Thank you very much, Lesley.

But no short-sightedness here.

You are straight on with a correct answer.

Nina, Stuart, that gives you the chance to choose a number.

-Can we go for my favourite number?

-Yes.

-OK.

-7.

-That's your favourite number?

-Yes. I just like prime numbers.

It's a good number.

It is a prime number.

Let's find out if it's in your code.

It's not. Is it there in the middle box?

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

Oh.

No. It's not there.

But we're eliminating the numbers at the easiest stage

of the game, so it's good news.

Are you ready for your next three answers?

-Yes, I think so.

-Let's have a look.

We can open all three,

so let's start at the top again.

The question behind Boeing.

Is that an Airbus?

I'm getting an Airbus.

Airbus is a company, isn't it?

But is it a type of plane that Boeing does?

I think we're going to have to eliminate again.

Put it on the back burner and go to the next one.

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

They were sailors.

So, not rowing?

They were not rowers.

OK. It does seem like a bit of...

-An effort?

-Yes.

It certainly would be.

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

I remember this because

some professional scythers wrote in

and complained that he was scything wrong,

so he wasn't sowing.

-He was scything.

-Yes.

And now that I've had time to think,

-Boeing do make the Airbus, I think.

-OK, then.

They've got to, haven't they?

Unless they did row,

but that seems incredibly dangerous.

-OK.

-OK, shall we go for that?

We'll go with the answer is Boeing.

You want to lock in Boeing as our correct answer?

Mm-hm.

We want Boeing to turn green.

So, is Boeing our correct answer?

-Oh!

-Oh!

-I'm so sorry.

-I'm so sorry.

It must have been rowing.

Let's find out what is the correct answer.

It was rowing. It was rowing.

Well, there you go.

Lesley, please enlighten us.

Oh, Nina and Stuart, I really hoped you'd get further along

but, yes, rowing was the correct answer.

Stuart correctly remembered that he was a yachtsman

but he also rowed across the Atlantic

in an open boat going almost 3,000 miles.

Boeing, the wrong answer.

Airbus is a separate company

responsible for manufacturing the A380,

the double-decker, wide-bodied aeroplane

that can hold up to 853 passengers if they're all in economy.

Sowing, you recalled the controversy about this.

He was scything, topless scything.

Sounds like a cable TV sport from the 1990s.

Lots of letters about that, which he said in an interview later

-was his idea.

-And what a terrific idea it was.

Topless quizzing hasn't taken off.

Not just yet, thank goodness.

But what can I say, Nina and Stuart?

On the plus side, you managed to get your favourite number out.

-Yay.

-So we did get the number 7 out there, but I'm afraid,

unfortunately, on this occasion, Nina and Stuart,

you have failed to break the code and so we have to wish you farewell.

-Bye-bye, Stuart.

-Bye.

Oh, no. Another team gone.

However, their loss is our next team's gain

because the jackpot goes even higher.

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

Here they are.

The boys. Roberto, how are you?

-Ciaran.

-Hi.

-And Marcus. Good to see you.

Right, tell me a bit about yourselves.

How do you know each other?

Well, we all know each other from university.

We all go to the University of Bath.

I actually met Roberto in my first week of uni.

I saw him on campus and I actually thought he was my lecturer.

Right!

I have to put up with this a lot of the time.

You thought he was your lecturer.

Did you set him straight very quickly?

Yes, I think after he saw me in our local nightclub

he changed his mind and thought I'm obviously not his lecturer.

-He was actually 18.

-You're one of the boys.

-You're one of the boys.

-I like to think so.

What are you studying? Let's start with you.

-I study psychology.

-Right.

Psychology, what would you like to do with that in the long-term?

I'm going to be a psychometric consultant,

-so I design psychometric tools.

-OK.

If you were going to do a psychometric test on me

to see if I'm right for this quiz, could you design one?

Yeah, I'd look at some things you'd need to have,

so charisma, extroversion, those kind of things.

Reasonably high IQ, as well, I imagine, working on a quiz show.

These are all empty boxes!

MATT LAUGHS No ticks here!

Well, they're the ones that need to be ticked, so I'm sure you would.

Well, I am in trouble.

How about you, Ciaran?

-What do you study?

-I study pharmacy, so I'm doing a masters.

It's my final year this year.

Next year, I'm going straight into an NHS hospital

-to do a training year.

-Wow. And how about you, Roberto?

Yes, I study politics and international relations at Bath.

Do you have a specialism

or particular area you're interested in?

I'm interested in British and American politics, in particular,

-I follow those a lot.

-A future prime minister.

-Hopefully.

-Clearly. Or mistaken for one, as has happened.

I tell you what, you can do no worse

than the teams that have come before you.

Unfortunately, they failed to break the code.

Not great news for them,

but terrific news for you because it means another £500

goes into the safe, making a total of £14,500.

I'm sorry we couldn't make it a round £5,000 each,

-but what can I say?

-I'll forgive you for that.

-Thank you so much.

Thank you very much. OK, if you're ready, let's reset the code.

Roberto, Ciaran and Marcus,

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. We'll start at the very top.

We just need to think about that.

This is one of those ones where you just take it out

-and work it out in your head.

-Yes.

-Yeah, I think it is.

OK. Shall we move on?

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

Has anyone watched Spotlight?

-Never.

-Or even just heard of it?

-I can't say I have.

Dancing is not my forte.

-No.

-Let's move on to the last one.

-I've never noticed farm animals.

-I've seen the Mona Lisa,

but I've never seen anything like a pig, sheep or something like that.

-I think we want to lock in the top one.

-20.

You want to lock in 20

as our correct answer, please. If it's wrong, I'm afraid that's it,

on your way back to an early bath.

THEY GROAN Thank you.

I like that!

Is 20 our correct answer?

Yes, 20 is correct.

-Lesley?

-Yes, 20 there.

Well worked out. Let's look at the wrong answers on the board.

You'd never heard of the film Spotlight. They're not dancers.

-Matt, do you know?

-They're journalists.

-They are journalists.

-Fellows, they're my brethren.

-Exactly.

Fantastic film, absolutely wonderful.

Did it ring true for you?

No, nothing like my work.

And farm animals are not in the background

behind the woman in the Mona Lisa.

It's mountains. Well done on finding the right answer.

Well done, chaps, we are off the mark.

We have our first correct answer.

That means it's time to pick a number.

There are ten numbers, 0 through to 9, on the keypad.

Which one do you want to pick first?

-What do you think, boys?

-You can go first, Roberto.

-Why not?

-Shall we go for number 2?

Showing good leadership.

Number 2, please. Is it there in the first box?

It's not. Is it there in the second box?

Is it there in the third box?

It's not.

-Happy with that.

-You're happy with that?

Let's move on. Let's see your next three answers, please.

Let's start at the top.

Why are they looking at you, Roberto?

We have an Italian on the team.

So, from my understanding,

my family will kill me if this is wrong,

I think forte means strong.

-Silenzio means silence.

-Completely agree.

Let's have a look at the question behind Quiet Man.

Yes. "Do not underestimate the determination of the quiet man."

Let's have a look at the question behind Sit Down.

-Definitely not Sit Down.

-No, it's not Sit Down.

-It's Shut Up.

-Stormzy has had Shut Up.

I don't know any songs by Black Eyed Peas called Sit Down, as well.

I think Iain Duncan Smith definitely referred to himself as a quiet man.

-Shall we lock in Quiet Man?

-Let's lock in Quiet Man.

Let's lock in Quiet Man as our correct answer.

If it's wrong, I'm afraid

you're on your way home. Let's find out.

Is Quiet Man the correct answer?

Well done. Good stuff.

-Lesley?

-Well done.

Yes, it's these questions falling

into Roberto's lap with the Italian and the politics.

You gave word-for-word exactly what he said in the 2002 speech,

saying that he was "a quiet man",

and after that the Labour backbenchers would hold their

fingers to their mouths and say shush to him

during Prime Minister's Questions.

Silence, not forte in Italian, exactly as you said.

That means strong, loud, and silence is silenzio.

And for the third answer, Sit Down.

Hit for James in 1991, kept off the number one spot by Chesney Hawkes.

Stormzy, you correctly identified, as having a hit with Shut Up,

as did Madness and the Black Eyed Peas.

Stormzy a bit more recent,

but Madness was in 1981 and The Black Eyed Peas in 2003,

so you'd be forgiven for not being as with those as with Stormzy.

So, good stuff, guys.

Very complete in your answers.

And it means we get the chance to pick another number.

2 has gone, nine others remain.

Which one do you want to pick next?

I think we'll go for 5, please.

The number 5, right in the middle there.

Is 5 in your code?

Is it there in the first box?

Is it there in the second box?

No number 5. Is it there in the third and final box?

No number 5.

You get to carry on playing the game at the easiest level.

Three more answers for you coming up.

Let's start at the very top - the question behind Boodle's.

-I have no idea.

-I've never heard of that before. Is it Bodo's Schloss

-I'm thinking of?

-Never heard of it.

It sounds like it could be some kind of...

Let's move on, let's see the question behind Willow.

-Absolutely no idea.

-No idea on that.

-No idea.

-Osier.

-No.

-OK.

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

Isn't Gretna Green the place in Scotland where people elope to,

is that right?

Where does the Mersey run?

-Yeah.

-I thought the Mersey started in Stockport and went to the...

-To Mersey.

-To the Mersey.

-To Merseyside.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

So, I don't think it's the bottom one.

OK.

As an educated one, I'm leaning personally towards the Willow answer

because I've not heard of Boodle's.

-Let's go for that.

-OK.

-Yes.

-You want to lock that in?

-We'll lock that in.

-OK, boys,

let's lock in Willow

as our correct answer for Roberto,

Ciaran and Marcus, and it's Ciaran's fault if it goes wrong!

Is willow our correct answer?

-Yes!

-Great work. Well done.

Wow, that was a complete flyer, wasn't it?

-Wow.

-Lesley.

Ciaran, you said this was an educated guess.

Your educated guess has proved right.

Willow, yes, also known as basket willow

because it's used in basket weaving.

Boodle's, not the right answer for the comic actor.

The correct answer is Groucho Marx, it's the Groucho Club.

And the last answer, you knew that the Mersey starts in Stockport.

The correct answer is the Esk.

And Gretna is in Scotland,

a place where eloping couples would go over the border from England

to Scotland, get married, often with a blacksmith

presiding over the service.

-As I did.

-Did you indeed? What, you were married by blacksmith?

-I was married by a blacksmith.

-In Gretna?

-In Gretna.

Excellent. Were you 16 years old?

I was not! I was 37.

Fantastic work, boys,

because that felt like pulling teeth at one point, I think.

-Yeah.

-But it doesn't matter. If we get the right result,

we don't care and the right result is the chance to pick another number

for your code. 2 and 5 have already gone, eight other digits left.

Where are we going to go next?

Let's go for 0, please.

Is 0 in our code?

Is it in the second box?

It is, bull's-eye, right there in the middle.

We have a digit in our code but things do become a bit trickier now.

As before, you'll see three answers but, this time,

you only get to see the questions behind two of them

before you have to commit

and identify what you think is the right one.

Roberto, Ciaran, Marcus, let's see your next three answers.

Once again, there's only one correct answer in there,

that's the one that we're trying to find.

But you only get to the two questions before you have to commit,

so it does become more important,

the order in which you choose these now.

-Where do you want to go first?

-So, Charles Ingram,

wasn't he the guy whose wife was on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?.

And then cheated or there was that controversy.

I knew it rung a bell...yeah.

-He was in the Army or something like that.

-Yes, I remember now.

You want to go for that?

We're confident with Charles Ingram.

-Yeah.

-OK, let's see the question behind Charles Ingram.

Slumdog Millionaire isn't based...

Is it based on the controversy on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?.

-No.

-I thought it was like a...

-Because he doesn't cheat on it.

-Yeah.

-Well, they think he's cheating, don't they?

Because they... That's why they go through about

how he knows all the answers to the questions.

Charles Ingram did cheat on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?.

Shall we try one of the other ones?

-Yeah.

-A bird or 1990s?

-I don't know.

-A bit of a toss-up really, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-We were born in the '90s.

-Yeah, go on, yeah.

-I don't know.

Yeah, yeah, we'll go '90s, I think.

Let's have a look at the question behind 1990s.

GCSEs replaced O-levels, right?

-Yes, yes.

-I think it was the '80s

because think it was part of the ERA,

which was a Thatcher...

-OK.

-But that's just my... That's my inclination.

The top question says,

"Whose appearance on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? inspired...?"

-It doesn't say it is...

-Based on.

-Yeah, it doesn't say

it's a true reflection of what Charles Ingram did.

-Yeah.

-In which case, I'd be inclined to say that is true.

Yes, and I'm confident that GCSEs

were introduced in the late '80s, I think.

-Yeah.

-You happy to go with...?

-Yeah, I'm happy with that.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-We'll go for the top answer, please.

You want to lock that in as the correct answer?

OK, let's lock it in. Let's see what happens

when we reveal the question behind A Bird

and see if that makes you feel better or slightly sick.

Let's have a look.

It's outdoors, isn't it? I think it's some kind of type of expanse

of water rather than a type of bird, I think.

OK, it's academic because if Charles Ingram turns red,

I'm afraid that's the end of it Roberto, Ciaran and Marcus.

We want you to stay a bit longer at least.

So, is Charles Ingram the correct answer?

-Yes!

-Good work, good work.

-Lesley.

-Very well done.

Charles Ingram, yes,

the disgraced Millionaire winner won the £1 million jackpot

and then people started asking questions about some coughing in

the background. His wife, Diana,

had previously been on the show and won £32,000.

1990s, Roberto, you remembered a lot about Thatcher's education policy.

It was Keith Joseph who introduced GCSEs to replace O-levels in 1986,

so the 1980s was the correct answer for this one.

Looking at the last question-and-answer pair,

Bird not the right answer for a billabong.

Marcus, you said it was an expanse of water -

we've gone with a small lake or pool.

Excellent work. Ciaran, it seems like you're there in the middle,

filtering this information from the other two, making sense of it.

You're the politico,

but, Ciaran, are you the leader? Is that what's happening here?

Well, I'm used to filtering out these two, to be fair.

OK, let's keep it pleasant!

Because you have achieved the right to choose another

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

0's up there, front and centre.

What's it going to be next?

-Go on, team leader.

-Yeah.

We'll go for 3, then.

The number 3. Is the number 3 there in your code?

Let's have a look in the first box.

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

It's not.

But it's counted out, we don't need to worry about it again.

We're now down to six numbers remaining.

-Are you ready for your next three answers?

-Yes.

-Let's do it.

Where would you like to start?

Marcus is all right on geography.

-Yeah, I wouldn't be...

-Famous last words.

HE CHUCKLES

-The Cat.

-The Cat.

-That's probably a question about the nickname

-for someone, I think.

-For a film.

Yeah. Albert.

-Albert, Princes.

-Victoria?

-Yeah, maybe a monarchy question.

-I'd be inclined to Poland.

-Yeah, so would I.

-Yeah, I'd start there as well.

-Poland.

OK, we're going to start with the question behind Poland.

Has anyone heard of it before?

-I've never heard of it.

-I can't say I've heard of it, no.

I mean, it sounds Eastern European.

-It does. Yeah.

-But that doesn't mean anything.

-Whether it's Polish, though.

-No.

-OK, OK...

..where would you like to go next?

-Shall we go for The Cat?

-Yeah.

-Yeah. We'll go for The Cat.

OK, the question behind The Cat, please.

Peter Bonetti was a Chelsea goalkeeper, I think.

Let me think about this.

I think he was The Cat but I...

Are you a Chelsea fan?

-I'm a Chelsea fan.

-OK.

I don't know why Phil Tufnell would be called The Cat...

I don't know, maybe it was his style of bowling or something like that.

I'm inclined to say The Cat is the correct answer.

I think the Peter Bonetti and The Cat rings a bell.

He's definitely associated with an animal.

You know your sports, so I trust you on this.

I think that's correct.

I would think Peter Bonetti was called The Cat.

-You want to lock that in as the correct answer?

-Yeah.

-Yes, please.

OK, that means we get have a look at the question behind Albert.

It can't change anything but it might make us feel better or worse.

Let's have a look.

-Not a clue.

-Would that have helped you, is that one you would have...?

I'm glad we went for The Cat instead of Albert.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

OK, so that wouldn't have helped you one way or the other.

We want Roberto, Ciaran and Marcus to keep rolling.

Is The Cat our correct answer?

Yes!

Well done, well done!

Yes, well done, Roberto, there,

remembering that Peter Bonetti played for Chelsea.

Phil 'The Cat' Tufnell,

called so because he kept falling asleep in the dressing room,

Carl 'The Cat' Thompson, all called The Cat as their nickname.

Poland not the right answer here.

With this one you were discussing mountain rages in Eastern Europe.

It's not Europe at all but Australia.

Kosciuszko is Polish, though, named after a Polish hero,

the tallest mountain in Australia.

Albert Einstein, Elsa was born with the surname Einstein.

-She was his cousin.

-Oh, interesting.

There you go. Gentleman, you are scaling the side of The Code,

finger hold by finger hold, working your way towards £14,500.

At times it's difficult but it will be worth it if you can do it.

You're doing absolutely brilliantly. Let's pick a number, then.

2, 3, 5 and 0 have gone.

Two remaining in your code and we have six to choose from.

-Which one's it going to be?

-I'm going to let you choose because you got that one right.

-Shall we...? Can we choose number 8?

-Number 8.

Is the number 8 in your code?

8-0-blank.

We have got two digits in the code.

You have just taken a big step towards

£14,500.

But, of course, things are now going to get even more difficult.

As before, you'll see three answers but this time you will only see the

question behind one before you have to commit,

decide whether it's right or wrong.

-Understood?

-Yep.

-OK.

Are you ready for your next three answers?

Here we go.

It's not a comment.

Now, at this point, it is critical in which order you take them.

Really important. So, which one do you want to try first?

Well, Watt...

-Watt's probably going to be a unit of measurement.

-Yeah.

-Power.

-Feet could be that as well.

-Does anyone know what Ugli is

-in that context, how that's spelt?

-I've never heard of that.

-Ugli... A fruit?

-I don't know.

-There is an Ugli fruit, isn't there?

-Oh, maybe...

I don't know if it's spelt with an I or a Y.

I can't say I've ever eaten one.

-Which one...?

-Feet, it could be some sort of medical condition.

-Yeah, which you would...?

-Which would be quite helpful.

It could be a unit of measurement.

I would say going against Ugli first because...

Yeah, I don't think we should go for that one first.

-Watt or Feet.

-OK, yeah.

-Which one?

-Feet.

-We'll go feet.

-Yeah.

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

Feet, please.

When you walk into a shoe shop, it is, it might be

one of those things you put your...

It's the thing that you put your foot in and they bring the thing to

-the top.

-My gut instinct says that that is true.

I mean, what else could it measure?

Brannock Device - I've never heard of it before.

I want to say that is true but...

-Shall we say true?

-Well, it could be completely wrong.

Let's think about it. I mean, measuring feet,

I mean, I've gone in shoe shops before but never heard them say,

"Let me get my Brannock Device to measure your feet," but I think...

-It would have some kind of name like that.

-It does make sense.

I think we should be inclined to go with that.

-It's a risk, isn't it? You've got to.

-Yeah...

You've got no more information to come apart from what you can see in

-front of you.

-Exactly. Shall we go with that?

-Shall we just go with that?

-Yeah, we'll go with that, yeah.

OK, we're going to lock in Feet.

OK, now this is where we could end up feeling great or terrible when we

see the questions behind Watt to start with.

No, that's false.

-I don't think that is a Watt, no.

-I think that would be...

..pressure. I'd say that's Pascal.

Yeah, it's Pascal's law.

-Or bar, I don't know.

-OK, so that's making us feel better.

-Yeah, that's good.

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

No, that's durian.

I actually got kicked off the Metro in south-east Asia over summer for

having one on the train.

-So, it's...

-Did you get fined as well?

No, I didn't, I just very politely got told to leave the station

-and head outside.

-They're big!

It was one of the segments rather than the whole fruit.

-OK.

-Just eat the whole thing!

-But it was definitely a durian.

Yeah, it's very large, it looks like a jackfruit, large and spiky.

-So right now you're feeling very good.

-Yeah.

-Reasonably good.

-Confident.

-The other two questions have confirmed what, let's face it,

-was a big hunch.

-Yeah.

-Oh, yeah.

-The Brannock Device.

Nice work. Well, let's see if it is Feet.

-Yes!

-Well done, gentlemen, very good work.

That was impressive quizzing, very good.

-Lesley.

-Nicely done, Ciaran.

You led the way and Roberto and Marcus trusted you on Feet as the

Brannock Device. It measures the length, the width and the arch,

that's the difference between other foot measurement contraptions.

When you opened the others, you immediately knew not only that the

Watt and Ugli were wrong but you had the correct answers, too,

because the SI derived unit for pressure or stress is,

exactly as you said, Ciaran, the Pascal.

A Pascal is one newton per square metre,

whereas a Watt is one joule per second.

And the citrus fruit, if you'd opened this one first,

Marcus would have dismissed it straightaway because of your story

about having exactly that experience,

the rail network's banning the fruit durian because of its stinky smell.

Matt, have you ever had a durian?

I have never had a durian

because I was so frightened of the consequences.

-They seem to be dangerous!

-They are, they're really foul!

-Taste nice.

-You're not selling it, Lesley, I'll be honest.

Thank you very much, Lesley. And, well, gentlemen,

absolutely terrific stuff.

That's the way you do it, that's the way you play The Code.

Keep doing this, we'll be all right,

but we might not have to. If we get this next bit right,

then you're walking home with £14,500.

Which one's it going to be next?

Is anyone's gut telling them anything?

Marcus?

-4.

-The number 4?

-Yes.

-OK.

One of you has to join me at the safe.

-Who's it going to be?

-Shall I go?

-Yeah.

Well, Roberto, Ciaran, Marcus,

you have chosen the number 4.

If 4 is the final number

in your code,

today, you will be going home with £14,500 -

our biggest jackpot to date.

Marcus, are you ready?

-I'm ready.

-Punch in the number.

Come on!

We're looking for 8-0-4

in your code.

That's what we want to appear.

Is it there for £14,500?

8-0-4.

It's a blank. I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. But, on the bright side,

4 you don't have to worry about any more.

Let's go back to the boys.

OK, OK, let's pick ourselves up.

I think... I think you were probably hoping, at least,

that that was going to show up there, 8-0-4.

It didn't happen. However, on the bright side, look, 1...

KLAXON SOUNDS

And that sound sadly means time is up.

I'm so sorry, guys.

When you were just on the verge of something immense,

you have just one number left in order to crack the code,

but I trust you'll come back next week.

-Absolutely.

-Absolutely, yeah.

-I thought you might do.

Lesley, thank you so much

for making us feel a bit more intelligent than we really are.

You're playing brilliantly.

You've got guts, you've got instinct,

each of you is giving good information.

I think you could go all the way and I hope you'll do just that.

Thank you, Lesley.

And please join us next time, next week,

when we'll find out if Roberto, Ciaran and Marcus

have what it takes to crack the code and win £14,500.

Thank you so much for watching and goodbye.
