Episode 8 The Code

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

To open the safe and win the money,

contestants just need to crack a three-digit code.

Every time someone fails, though,

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

Now, last time, Maurizio and Andy had picked one correct number,

the number 9, when time ran out.

So, let's give them another run out.

Here they are, coming back for more. They couldn't stay away.

-Maurizio, good to see you again.

-And you.

-Andy.

-Hello.

-Now, let's remind ourselves, you're both from Berkshire.

-Yes.

-And Maurizio, you're a magazine editor.

-Correct, yes.

-Andy, a financial controller.

-That's right.

-For a company that wholesales tea and coffee.

-Correct.

-Which you don't drink.

-Which I don't drink.

-Which you don't drink!

All right, fantastic.

Well, listen, before we start, let's introduce our person

who will be shedding light on questions and answers for us.

The wonderful Lesley Brewis.

Welcome back, Maurizio and Andy.

Now, you're a third of the way into the numbers on the code.

If you keep going as briskly as you did in that first question

in the previous show, you'll be fine.

As Lesley said, yes, very brisk indeed. Quickfire.

One question answered correctly gave you one stab at the keypad.

That's all you needed to put 9 up there in your code.

However, that does make things a little trickier because now,

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

But you will only see questions for two of those

before you have to commit and decide which one is correct.

It is trickier.

If you're ready, Maurizio, Andy, let's see your next three answers.

Only one correct answer in there,

that's the one that we're looking for.

We do have to decide, which question would you like to see first?

-It is more important this time.

-I'm happy with Albania.

-Are you? Good.

-I'm happy about Phil Collins.

-Yeah, I would say Phil Collins.

-You want Albania?

-Yeah, let's go with that first.

-Albania.

Albania, OK.

Let's see the question behind Albania.

Albania, 1952, way into...

..Communist dictatorship already, wasn't it? 1952.

After the war, yeah.

Albert Einstein had nationality of Switzerland and Germany.

-And then he went to the USA.

-USA, yes, but not Albania.

We don't have to decide just yet,

we can see one more question before we have to make a decision.

Phil Collins? Let's go for Phil Collins.

Phil Collins, the question behind Phil Collins, please.

That's more difficult than I thought,

-because Phil Collins was the drummer.

-Yeah.

But he also became the lead singer when Peter Gabriel left the band.

But maybe Ray Wilson became the lead singer when Phil Collins

was still the drummer and backup.

No, but the question is who did Ray Wilson replace?

As the lead singer.

Peter Gabriel left way, way before that.

He must have left in the '70s or '80s,

so it must be Phil Collins, the right answer.

So, all the big music of Genesis with Phil Collins was '80s,

-wasn't it?

-Yeah.

-And then he left.

Then he left and went solo and then he retired.

That sounds like the right answer.

Sounds like that could be the right answer.

-Albania we think is the wrong answer.

-And Flashman...

-And Flashman, we...

-That's probably the wrong answer as well.

Which one's it going to be?

So, we think that we're going to choose Phil Collins.

-Phil Collins as the right answer.

-As the correct answer.

Let's lock in Phil Collins as our correct answer.

Now that's locked in, we can't change that.

That's the one you selected,

it means we can open the question behind Flashman and have a look.

See how it makes us all feel. Hopefully joyful!

Biggles would have been the answer to that one.

OK, you're confident on that one.

We are more confident, it's just that Albania thing.

OK, so is Phil Collins our correct answer?

If that's the case, it'll turn green.

You get a chance to choose another number from the code.

Maybe you'll strike it lucky again.

-Yes!

-Well done, well done.

Maurizio and Andy, well reasoned. Lesley?

Yes, very well reasoned.

I'm not sure you were 100% sure that was going to go green there

but Phil Collins left Genesis in 1996 to concentrate,

as you were discussing, on his solo career.

And Peter Gabriel, whom you spoke about, he left, exactly, in 1975.

You said the '70s when you were talking about it.

Ray Wilson had been the lead singer of Stiltskin.

Albania, this was excellent work.

You decided that Albania was a Communist state by that point,

which it was. It was the People's Republic of Albania,

so it wouldn't make sense for them to ask Albert Einstein

to become their President.

And in fact, it was Israel, the correct answer.

He turned it down because he said he didn't have the experience

or the talent for that role.

Flashman, you didn't get to see this question

before choosing Phil Collins.

But when it popped up, Andy, you said immediately not right,

not Flashman. That's Biggles, exactly.

James Bigglesworth, the flying ace.

Flashman being the bully from Tom Brown's School Days

and then featuring in books about Flashman by George MacDonald Fraser.

Very well done, very brisk, efficient, as before.

Absolutely, briskness the order of the day with you gentlemen.

Let's see if we can carry on that flying start,

just like Biggles now, with our scarves behind us.

9 is already gone from your code.

That is leaving you nine other digits to choose from.

Where are you going to go next?

-We're sticking to that?

-Yeah.

-Yes, so number 3, we think now.

-This is part of the plan?

-Part of the plan.

-Is the number 3 there in your code?

Are we going to do this thing in three leaps?

Is it there in our second box?

It's not there in the second box.

Is the number 3 there in our third and final box?

-It's not.

-It's not.

-A little bump in the road.

-Yeah.

-That's all it is.

-That's the plan working.

-That was the plan, yeah.

That is the plan! So, it means we get three more answers now.

Let's have a look at them.

-Which ones do you want to go for?

-So, we know about gin.

-Well, we know it's made from juniper.

-Yeah.

That's the only thing I know about it. Dreams?

-Dreams could be so many things.

-Absolutely anything. Blender?

Don't even know what blender...

Blender, apart from the blender in the kitchen, I don't know.

-Which one first?

-Gin. Start with gin, always start with gin.

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

Oh, if you'd asked me that question, I'd have said rum.

Yeah, because that's

a Central American, South American originating cocktail, daiquiri.

-So, it doesn't sound like gin.

-Doesn't sound like gin.

Dreams... Well, it could be so many things.

Yeah, it could be a Shakespeare thing.

Let's go for it. Let's go for dreams.

OK, the question behind dreams.

-Morpheus is all about sleeping, isn't it?

-Sleeping, yes.

-So, it's probably dreams.

-Probably dreams.

-I'd have said that...

-That sounds likely. Sounds more likely than gin.

-Morpheus.

The same inkling, it would be Morpheus, the God of...

He's all about the God of Sleep.

The God of Dreams, it sounds more likely than sleep.

-So, gin you think is wrong.

-Gin we think is wrong. Dreams we think...

-That might be right.

-And blender, we've got no idea.

No, we've got no idea.

-Gents, which one will it be?

-Dreams is the correct answer, isn't it?

-We're taking dreams as our correct answer?

-Yes.

-Let's lock it in.

OK, dreams, we want you to go green.

But before we do that, we can have a look

at the question behind blender

to see what that says to us.

Is it going to be good or not so good? Let's have a look.

OK, so I think that that is the microwave.

Yeah, that's what I was going to say.

Therefore that makes it wrong, so I'm quite happy with that one.

So, we're all about dreams now.

It's academic but if it makes you feel more confident and happier,

then I'm happy for you.

OK, we want dreams to be our correct answer,

if Maurizio and Andy are going to get another stab at the keypad

to complete their code.

Is dreams the correct answer?

-Yes!

-Fantastic work. Well worked out, wasn't it, Lesley?

It was very worked out, well done.

I thought you might have a little bit of a wobble for a second

when you were talking about the God of Sleep, as opposed to dreams.

The God of Sleep, Hypnos, the father of Morpheus.

-We get the word morphine from Morpheus as well.

-Yes!

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

You knew that gin was nothing to do with this.

The correct answer is rum.

It's a cocktail made of rum, citrus juice and sugar.

The blender, when this came up, Maurizio,

you said straight away, "I know, that's the microwave oven."

That's exactly right, the magnetron produces microwaves.

It's a sort of vacuum tube.

Fantastic work and it's earned you the right to put another digit

into the code to see if it sticks.

9 is already up there, 3 has gone,

there are eight others to choose from.

Which one's it going to be?

-Do you want to go for 0, or not? No?

-Yeah, why not?

-That was the plan, so let's go for the plan.

-The plan?

-The plan, yeah.

-What is the plan?

-We'll tell you later on.

-You'll tell me later on, when it works.

-Yeah, when it works!

OK, is 0 up there in the code?

Is it there in the second box?

It's not there.

Is it there in the third and final box?

No. Rethink the plan!

It's fine though, we're working through those numbers

one way or the other. If you keep answering the questions correctly,

get to ten questions, that's it, it doesn't matter.

You'll have cracked it one way or the other.

Let's see the next three answers, please.

So, shall we try and go for the one for which we think there are

the least possible things, like we said?

-What's that, Cleopatra?

-Cleopatra, maybe.

OK, let's go for it. Go for Cleopatra.

Let's open the question behind Cleopatra.

-That's not Cleopatra.

-No.

-No. Cleopatra, late Egyptian queen.

I think Akhenaten, she was the famous wife of a Pharaoh.

Yeah, I want to say Nefertiti.

You know, a famous one, one you would have heard.

OK, we can open one more before we have to make a decision.

My instinct is to go for Jamaica, but then, you know...

-Yeah, let's go for Jamaica.

-All right, let's go for Jamaica.

The question behind Jamaica, please.

No.

-That's not right.

-That's cos she's from...

-Barbados, she's from Barbados.

-Yeah.

OK, we have our two questions revealed.

They're both out there,

we now have to make a decision on one of those three answers.

Which one's correct?

OK, so, Cleopatra, she got married to Julius Caesar

after the Romans went there and then Antony, Mark Antony and Cleopatra.

Cleopatra was...

She was the sovereign herself, she wasn't the wife.

Because her brother was the King, or Pharaoh.

-So, it's tea, the answer.

-It's tea, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-It's tea.

-Let's have tea.

So, through a process of elimination,

-we're choosing tea, for which we can't see the question.

-Yes!

OK, let's do it, let's lock it in.

It's locked in, we can't change it. Let's have a look at the question.

Let's see how that makes us feel.

-Well, it might be tea.

-I'm still happy we went in that order.

I'm happy with that.

-Pleased with the order of questions that you took.

-Yes!

Well, we can't ask for much more than that, under the circumstances.

Tea is what we've selected as our correct answer. Is it?

-Yes!

-Whoa!

-That is the way... That is the way to play the game.

-Well done, well done.

-Thank you.

That was great, well done.

Yes, using the information that you had about the wrong answers

to pin that as the correct one, despite not seeing the question.

The samovar, traditionally it's heated with coal or charcoal,

but you can get electric ones these days.

And looking at the wrong answers on the board, Cleopatra.

Well, Maurizio, you gave us a brilliant lecture

on the history of Cleopatra.

You knew that Cleopatra was ruler in her own right,

you told us about her relationship with Julius Caesar

and that helped you to dismiss that as the incorrect answer.

The correct answer, as you said when you were discussing it earlier,

-was Nefertiti.

-Yeah, yeah.

And Rihanna, Maurizio again, this seems to be your round.

So, you knew that Rihanna was born in Barbados and indeed,

that's the correct answer.

She grew up in Bridgetown.

Wow, yeah, a very impressive round from both of you

and it buys you the chance to try another digit in the code.

9, 3 and 0 have all gone. What is the next one in the plan?

-We said...

-Let's go for 4.

-Isn't that what we said?

-Yeah.

Well, you've forgotten the plan. You can't remember the plan!

-That was the end of the plan.

-That was the end of the plan.

You didn't think you were going to get any further than that,

well, you have to! OK, let's try the number 4 in our code.

Can we find the second digit,

take us one step further to a jackpot of £3,000?

Is it there, in the second box?

-Oh!

-See? Told you.

-Yes.

Yeah, we're back on track with the plan.

It's working. Fantastic, 9-4-something.

You found two numbers in your code,

you're getting closer to the jackpot. Fantastic.

But as always in The Code, the closer you get,

the trickier things get, and that's the case now as well.

As before, you're going to see three answers, but this time,

before you make a decision, you can only see one question at a time,

then you have to make a decision, is it right, is it wrong?

Let's crack on and have a look at our next three answers.

Of course, now it's critical,

the order in which you choose to see these questions.

-OK, so Taxi, the sitcom.

-It's a sitcom, Taxi.

-Big yellow taxi. So, that's taxi. Maybe four...

-Four!

-Could be absolutely anything.

-Could be absolutely anything.

But we might be able to say yes, that's right. No, that's wrong.

-So, Likely Lads. Well, I don't...

-I know a little bit. But, ooh!

-Shall we start with four?

-Yes. Yes, let's start with four.

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

-Come on.

-Not many is the answer.

-The answer is not many, yeah.

So, they...

-beat Wales 2-1.

-2-1.

Iceland... No, Iceland...

-Yeah, was one of the matches anyway.

-That counts.

-And it was 2-1, wasn't it? 2-1 again?

-Probably.

-Don't remember.

-My God! Russia?

-So, what do you think?

I've got an inkling that they hadn't scored that many goals.

OK. Well, let's go with that. Let's say they only scored three.

So, they beat Wales 2-1, lost 2-1 to Iceland.

-Which is three goals.

-Scored another in some other match and drew 1-1.

-So, then, you say they did another 1-1?

-Yeah.

-So, it is four?

So, it is four.

Yeah, we've talked ourselves into it being four, haven't we?

Oh, I can't get a football question wrong.

I know what it's like when you spend all this time watching sport.

-I know!

-If it's not for moments like this, what's it all about?

OK, I need just an answer from you guys.

Are we going to take this as our correct answer

or are we going to discard it as incorrect?

-We are saying that they scored four goals and that's correct.

-Yes.

We're taking that as a correct answer. Let's lock it in.

That's locked in, we can't change that.

That means we can look at the other two questions

and see whether they bring us happiness or despair.

The question behind taxi, please.

It's ambulare, which is the ambulance.

-There we go, so that makes us feel good.

-Oh, we're feeling better.

The question behind The Likely Lads.

Well, not in the original version.

Unless there's a new version, then they're not.

-How are we now feeling about...?

-Very good, we're feeling brilliant.

-And quite good.

-We're feeling better, I hope, for your sake.

We're feeling so... Yeah.

We want that pitiful number of goals to be what England scored

at Euro 2016 in France, and no more and no fewer.

-Come on.

-Is it our correct answer?

Come on.

-Oh!

-Well done!

-Come on.

-Well done, chaps.

-Ah, more plodding than brisk through that.

-Yes!

It all slowed down suddenly.

I think because you know so much about football, you really,

-really wanted to get this one exactly right.

-That's right.

You went through everything so beautifully,

-but the one you forgot was the 1-1 draw against Russia.

-Russia!

-I did say Russia, didn't I?

-Yes.

-And Andy remembered that there was a 1-1 draw.

-Yes!

And there was the Slovakia game, of course, where nobody scored.

Thank goodness you settled on that as the right answer.

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

Taxi not the correct answer, ambulance.

Maurizio, you said ambulare,

your knowledge of Italian coming into play there.

The Likely Lads, this was Andy's question.

You recognised that Howard Moon and Vince Noir, not in The Likely Lads.

The correct answer is The Mighty Boosh.

Oh, right, there you go.

Well, we are in a great situation,

9 and 4 are there in your code.

Six numbers left to choose from, that's quite a lot.

However, get the right one and you will have cracked the code,

£3,000 is going back to Berkshire with you. OK, what's the plan?

OK, you say 1, I was going to say 8, so let's go for 8.

All right, let's go for 8.

-OK, we're going to go for the number

-8. Yes, we're going for that.

Now, one of you has to join me at the safe, who's it going to be?

-Me, me!

-Yeah, go on.

OK, Andy, let's make our way to the safe.

Andy and Maurizio, you have chosen the number 8.

If 8 is the final number in your code,

you will go home today with £3,000.

How does that feel?

-Sounds good to me.

-Sounds good, OK. Andy, punch in the number.

It's a one-in-six shot, that's what you're looking at at the moment.

But is our code 948?

It's not.

No, it's a blank. I'm sorry, Andy. Let's have another go.

Let's join Maurizio.

Well, the plan, it seems sometimes it works,

sometimes it doesn't work quite so well,

you know, but there are only five numbers left there, OK?

So, somewhere, one of those has to be the final number in your code.

That's the one we're going to find. Are you with me, boys?

-Yeah.

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

-OK, Glasgow?

-Glasgow.

-In Scotland, yes.

-Robert Zemeckis.

-Robert Zemeckis, director, lots of films.

And lighthouse keeper.

Somebody's previous job.

Somebody's previous job, yes, that was I was thinking.

Do you know what Robert Zemeckis...?

Robert Zemeckis did, you know, Back To The Future...

-All right, let's go him.

-Yeah, I'm happy.

-Go for that.

-Robert Zemeckis?

-We'll go for that.

The question behind Robert Zemeckis, please.

-It's him.

-Isn't it?

-That's what I said.

-Before we started.

-It's not Spielberg, is it?

-Spielberg didn't direct it, did he?

-It's Robert Zemeckis. George Lucas?

-No.

-Should we stop talking?

Because otherwise, we're going to think...

-It's Robert Zemeckis, isn't it?

-Yeah. That's what we said.

-HE HUMS TUNE

-Yeah, let's go for it. I'm happy.

-Let's lock in Robert Zemeckis as our correct answer.

-You happy?

I'm happy with that.

Does concern me very slightly, Maurizio,

-you just sang the theme tune from Indiana Jones.

-I did, I did.

But it's locked in now and there's nothing we can do about it.

Let's not take that as a bad omen.

OK!

It means we can have a look at the questions

behind the other answers now and hopefully,

they will make us feel very confident and relaxed.

The question behind Glasgow, please.

That's, that's Leeds, isn't it?

OK, gentlemen, you come from Berkshire! Let's hope you know that.

And the question behind lighthouse keeper.

-Vicar, or a priest.

-Yes.

-I'm happy.

OK, so we're happy with the whole shooting match there,

we think that all works.

We want it to go green.

If it does so, we can take a step forward closer to that jackpot.

Is Robert Zemeckis the correct answer?

Nailed on, top to bottom, fantastic work. Lesley?

How could it be wrong when Maurizio,

-you said it before the question even came up?

-Yes.

Yes, very well done, Robert Zemeckis the correct answer there.

And for some Lesley points,

nothing to do for the competition but just for my own amusement,

can anyone tell me the years that they travelled to

in the three films?

-So, Back To The Future I, they went from 1985 to...?

-1955.

-And in the second film?

-2015, which is in the past.

And in the third film?

-1885.

-1885, wasn't it? 1885.

-Tick, tick, tick.

-Look at that! Three Lesley points.

No-one has ever had those points before!

You are a Back To The Future expert.

And the Glasgow question, when that came up,

you were pretty happy with that one. The correct answer there is Leeds.

And lighthouse keeper, Andy, when this came up,

you said it was something to do with the church.

-It's a Church of Scotland minister.

-Yeah.

Well, we're back to our nice, brisk pace there,

efficiently answering questions.

Let's see if we can be just as efficient with the numbers.

Here we are. What's it going to be?

Pippa's birthday is 9/4/74.

-So, 7.

-We're thinking the number 7 now?

-Number 7.

-OK, who is going to join me at the safe?

-Your turn.

-Yeah, OK.

Didn't work for me, so it's your turn.

Maurizio, let's make our way to the safe.

Maurizio and Andy, you have now chosen the number 7.

If 7 is the final number in your code,

you're going to go home with £3,000 between you.

Are you ready, Maurizio?

-I'm ready, yes.

-Come on, you've worked for this.

Punch in the number 7.

There it goes, round and round, the final box on the code.

If it's there, the door swings open, £3,000 is yours.

Is the last number the number 7?

-Oh!

-Not 7.

-But we're still in this.

-Yeah.

-We're still in the game.

Come on, let's go back and see Andy.

-OK.

-Oh, well!

Still, only four numbers to get through.

One of those has to be up there, but you did set yourself

-a big challenge by being so successful so early on.

-Yeah.

OK, we can't go any further unless we answer another question.

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

We can only open the questions one at a time, the order very important.

-What's it going to be?

-So, red's the answer to a colour question.

Doesn't matter what red is,

it matters what the question is and what colour the answer is.

-Leicester.

-Leicester, the city, Leicester the...

-Leicester won the League.

-Place.

But that would be Leicester City, wouldn't it?

-So, my daughter went to Leicester University.

-People from Leicester.

And scream, there's either the painting by Thomas Munch,

-or it's the film, which is...

-The painting, Scream? Do you think?

-Let's go for scream.

-Let's go for scream.

The question behind scream.

Scream or shout. Or cry.

Yeah, but scream more than... Would you shout?

Yeah, I suppose any sound is a decibel measurement,

-but scream sounds...quite plausible, doesn't it?

-It does.

And if he's not screaming, he's shouting very loudly,

which is the same as a scream.

-Yeah, snoring? Something stupid?

-Snoring, but that would be...

-109.9 decibels. Yeah, so, that sounds plausible, doesn't it?

-Yeah.

-And if it's wrong...

-But that sounds...

We say that that could be right.

-I think we've just got to go for it.

-Let's go for it, yeah.

-We're saying that's right.

-We're saying that that is correct.

-We want to lock in scream as our correct answer. Yes?

-Yes.

OK, that's it, we can't change that now.

It does mean we can have a look at the other two questions.

Let's start at the top. The question behind red, please.

That's wrong.

That's wrong, Tunisia is on the Med.

-So, that's making us feel happy.

-We're happy with that.

We're happy with red being an incorrect answer.

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

I think that's right. I think that's Leicester.

Yeah, I think that's right.

Becca was at Leicester University, they did loads of space stuff.

-Well, she didn't, but...

-Yeah, I'm feeling it.

So, red made you feel happy,

-Leicester has made you feel rather unhappy.

-Yes.

It's kind of academic at this stage,

we've put all our eggs in one basket,

and that basket says scream on it.

So, let's find out if scream is our correct answer.

If it is, we then have a one-in-four shot of picking

the last digit for your code.

If it goes red, all that hard work is for naught.

Is scream correct?

Oh! What?

Well, I think we know what it is but let's find out the correct answer.

-It's Leicester, yeah.

-Aw.

It was Leicester. Lesley?

Well, Maurizio and Andy,

I think you just picked the wrong one to open there.

If you'd seen the Leicester one first, Andy would have known that

straightaway because of your connection with the university.

Leicester University has a Space Research Department

which works closely with the National Space Centre.

The red question, again, if you'd opened this one first,

I think you would have known that was wrong because it's not

the Red Sea but the Mediterranean.

And Maurizio, you knew that, so if you'd opened that one,

you would have dismissed that quickly as the wrong answer.

And that brings us to scream, the one that caught you out.

Scream, not the correct answer. Any ideas, Matt?

You know, the only thing I can think is rude.

-Yeah, it's not particularly polite.

-Am I on the right...?

-Is it burping?

-It is burping.

That was the more polite one of the two I had in my head.

Exactly, yes, it was a burp.

Screaming is much louder, about 120, 130 decibels.

Gentlemen, what can I say?

You've played absolutely brilliantly.

In many games, that would have been enough to crack the code

and take away the jackpot, but not on this occasion.

It just didn't work out for you that way.

Let's just find out what was the next number in whichever plan

we're now using.

-I was going to say 5.

-Yeah, well...

The number 5? The last number in your code was...

-It was a 6. You still had a bit more work to do.

-More work to do.

But despite all that hard work, unfortunately, Maurizio, Andy,

thank you so much for coming on, but I have to say on this occasion,

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

-Goodbye.

-Thank you so much.

-Lovely to meet you.

-Thanks, Matt.

-Cheers. Bye.

Thank you.

Wow, hugely entertaining.

What a lovely couple of chaps. But it wasn't good enough, sadly.

Their loss is our next team's gain, though,

because the jackpot now goes higher.

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

Here they are. Lovely to see you. How are you, Jean?

-Hello, I'm fine, thank you, how are you?

-You're very welcome, and Helen.

-Hi.

-How are you? Good to see you. Now, tell me a bit about yourselves.

Where do you come from?

I come from Halifax, I'm retired.

-But I'm busier now than when I was working.

-It often happens.

-I don't know how I had time to work, really!

-How about you?

I'm from Halifax, too. But I am working.

I'm working for an organisation that delivers

diversity and inclusion training.

-All over the world, we work with some really big companies.

-Wow.

Do you guys share a hobby or a passion,

-something you like doing together?

-Cake decorating.

-And chocolate making.

-Yeah.

-Those sound like a very...

-Helen's taught me everything I know!

-What's your show-stopper?

Your masterpiece?

I think one of the ones that a lot of people enjoy that I make

is a nice big chocolate fudge cake.

-I was a size 10 before I met Helen!

-THEY LAUGH

Because I like her chocolate cake.

Well, listen, all the best today.

We hope you can walk away with something that will help you

to make as many cakes as you ever want to make.

It should be a lot of fun.

And the good news is, for you, anyway,

-that the team before you failed to crack the code.

-Aww.

Bad news for them, not such bad news for you because it means that we put

another £500 into the jackpot

and that makes a grand total of £3,500.

-That'll do.

-That'll do, that'll do nicely. Let's reset the code.

Three blanks.

And you want to turn those into three numbers, do that,

the safe opens, the money is yours.

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

And at this point in the game, you can open all the questions.

So, we'll start at the top.

Have a look at the question behind the Salvation Army.

-Well, it's not the Salvation Army, is it?

-No, no.

-I wasn't in the Scouts myself.

-But it's definitely...

That's for the Scouts, isn't it?

Yeah, so that's not the right answer.

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

Now, if there wasn't an answer there,

I would say Martin Luther King.

But I don't know who Malcolm X is, do you?

I think he was a civil rights leader, as far as I know.

-All right, we'll come to that one.

-Let's look at the last one.

The question behind We Will Rock You, please.

I've never heard of a children's show called We Will Rock You.

-Have you?

-No.

-You're the one with grandchildren.

-I haven't, no.

We could be going out on the first question, Jean!

Could be going out on the first question, but I've got a feeling

it could be Malcolm X.

I don't know, so I'm going to go with your feeling.

OK, so let's lock in one of these answers.

-Which one is it going to be?

-Malcolm X.

Let's lock in Malcolm X as our correct answer.

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

and, Jean and Helen,

you get the chance to enter your first digit into the keypad.

Well done! SHE LAUGHS

-The shock! The shock and relief.

-Great work.

That just shows you that in this show, you don't necessarily

need to know the correct answer, it's enough to know what's wrong.

In this one, you were discussing a couple of possibilities

for someone who was assassinated in the 1960s.

Martin Luther King was assassinated in Memphis in Tennessee

in April 1968.

So, wrong location, wrong date.

Correct answer, Malcolm X, who was born Malcolm Little.

With the Salvation Army one,

you dismissed that straight away and gave the correct answer.

It's the Scout movement. It's also the motto for the Girl Guides.

And We Will Rock You, the last question on the board.

-Do you know the correct answer to this one?

-No.

Matt's got his hand up. Yes, Matt, for a Lesley point?

I loved this show, it's We Are The Champions.

We Are The Champions!

-And they all jumped in the pool at the end.

-That's right.

-Oh, yes, I remember that now.

-"Away you go!"

It's time to pick a number.

Which one do you want to pick first?

Well, the first one's easy because 7 is both our lucky numbers.

Both have the lucky number 7.

-It's going to be first one out of the bag.

-Come on, 7!

Come on, 7. Are you there in the first box?

-Aww.

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

-No!

-Ooh.

-How about in the third and final box?

-Please!

-No.

-Oh!

-No number 7, but don't be upset.

Because it's got rid of a number.

You've got rid of a number and it means you can carry on playing

at this stage, where you can see all of the questions at the same time.

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

-OK.

-Let's open the first question.

I think the U and the N is United Nations?

It could be European...

It reminds me of some sort of food somehow, I don't know.

I'm not sure, I think we need to see the others, don't we?

Yeah, let's open the question behind cheese.

-Don't you cook on a raclette?

-Oh, I don't know.

-You should know this.

I know I should know this, but...

But they use a lot of cheese in Switzerland.

That doesn't sound like a cheese. I'm sure that's a...

We'll have a look at the last one, shall we?

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

Never even heard... Have you heard of that name?

I don't know him, no, I've never come across him.

I think it could be a female. Um, oh, what are we going to do?

I don't know. I don't think European is in UNESCO.

No, because if the U and the N was United Nations,

-it wouldn't then say European, would it?

-No.

-I am swinging towards the bottom one.

-You see, cheese is grabbing me.

-Is it? Is it?

-But you were right last time.

-I was.

-Doesn't mean I'm going to be right this time, though.

-Oh!

-You'll go with which one...

-No, we'll go with the bottom.

-OK.

We're not confident, we don't know.

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

-The bottom one.

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

If it goes red, I'm afraid that's it, back to Halifax.

We don't want that.

-Is sculpture the correct answer?

-Daren't look!

-Oh!

-No!

-I'm so sorry.

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

Let's find out what's the correct answer.

-Aw!

-Oh, no!

I don't know what to say!

Will the friendship ever recover from this?

I thought for a moment that you were going to sort that one out,

as Helen, you said cheese was grabbing you as the right answer.

-So sorry, Helen.

-Oh!

Yes, raclette comes from the French word racler,

to scrape, it's cheese that's scraped onto meat or bread

or potatoes to make a delicious dish.

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

Now, Helen, as soon as this came up, you were confident that the UN bit

stood for United Nations and that helped you to decide

that European couldn't be the correct answer.

That's exactly right, it's the United Nations

Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation.

I should have known that one as well!

-They're responsible for World Heritage Sites.

-Yeah.

And the last one, this one caused you the most trouble because

you couldn't remember who Akira Kurosawa was.

Matt, I'm expecting great things from you here. Tell us

the correct answer and a little bit about him.

Akira Kurosawa was a film director from Japan

who created things like The Seven Samurai,

which then became the template for The Magnificent Seven.

-So, he's a hero.

-I couldn't have said it better myself.

Thank you so much, Lesley. Ladies, what can I say?

-We were having so much fun.

-Yes.

-And I was willing you towards cheese!

-What can I say? And you must be thoroughly cheesed off.

-Yes!

-It's all I can say.

-I will never touch cheese again.

-No, no!

-I'm not talking to her on the way back.

I'm sure your lovely friendship will recover and, you know,

it's been terrific having you on to play the game.

But on this occasion, I'm afraid, Jean and Helen,

-you have failed to crack the code.

-Oh!

So, we have to say goodbye to you. Thank you so much for coming.

-Thank you, thank you.

-Thanks a lot.

-Thank you.

-Thank you so much.

-Bye.

Thank you. Bye.

It's not right, it's not right.

But unfortunately, that's the way it works.

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

because the jackpot goes even higher.

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

Here they come. Step on down, gentlemen.

-Lovely to see you, Julian.

-Hello.

-Christian.

-Hello, Matt.

-And Matt.

-Good to meet you.

-Lovely name!

Now, from three very different places.

-London, Stevenage and from Devon.

-That's right.

So, begs the question, how on earth did you find each other?

-What's the connection?

-So, we all work at the same college.

Matt and I run a zoo on the third floor of a college.

-A zoo on a third floor?

-Pretty much.

Wow, you don't want any escapees from there at all.

There's quite a few, but nothing that's going to cause

-too many problems. Just bugs.

-OK, Christian.

-Yeah.

What about yourself?

Well, I'm actually a sports and exercise science lecturer.

It feels like we've got a bit of diversity, then, in terms of

the areas that you're going to be good at.

I think we've pretty much got animals nailed, Team Dolittle!

But what areas?

Obviously, sport then, Christian, that will be a strong bit for you.

I don't want to shoot myself in the foot here, say what I'm good at

-and it comes up and I get it wrong.

-I has happened.

All right, listen, gentlemen, we wish you the very best of luck.

-Thank you.

-The good news for you is that the team before you failed.

It's not such great news for them, unfortunately,

but that means another £500 goes into the safe,

taking the jackpot to £4,000.

You'll work out how you split that between you.

That's your business, all right? Let's reset the code.

Julian, Christian, Matt, here are your first three answers.

So, let's start at the very top, the question behind H, please.

-I was there last New Year's.

-OK, so where did you go?

-I was in Ottawa.

-You are the expert on this.

-And I was in Toronto.

But I'm trying to think of provinces. There's...

-What else is there?

-There's Toronto, there's Quebec, isn't there?

Let's look at the question behind jerk.

Yeah, it's that.

-Yeah, that.

-Christian, is this...?

-All day long. 100%.

-The right answer, right now.

-It's the right answer.

Let's have a look at the question behind Emma Bunton.

Easy! It's Mel B, it's Scary Spice.

Absolutely definitely, 100%.

We want to lock in one of these as correct.

-Which one's it going to be?

-It's going to be jerk, yeah.

-1,000%.

-Let's lock in jerk as our correct answer.

If it is correct, it will mean that you boys, Team Dolittle,

get the chance to enter your first digit on the keypad,

see if it's there in the code.

So, is jerk our correct answer?

-Course it is.

-Boom!

-Of course it is.

-Yes, well done.

Jerk chicken, jerk pork, a way of flavouring those meats.

The question says that it's rubbed with a hot spice.

They can also be wet marinated.

Let's look at the wrong answers.

Now, with this one,

I think if you thought about what other letter could be

in the Nato phonetic alphabet and be the name of a province of Canada,

then you might have dismissed that one more quickly.

Q is the correct answer.

Christian, you mentioned Quebec

when you were talking about areas of Canada.

And the last one, Emma Bunton, not the correct answer.

-Exactly as you said, Mel B.

-Thank you, Lesley.

Yes, two forms of spice helping you out there,

in completely different ways. Not scary at all.

What we have as a result of that is the chance to choose your

first number to see if it sticks in the code. Is there a plan here?

-What's the plan?

-There is.

Can I tell you what our real team name is now?

-OK.

-Our team name is going to be The Triangle Of Truth.

The Triangle Of Truth, that's what we're looking at here.

A Triangle Of Truth.

Listen, no-one has ever given that much thought to a team name.

What number are you going for, crucially, Matt?

-OK, we've got to mind-merge now. Ready?

-Yeah.

-One, two, three...

-ALL: 3!

Oh... THEY LAUGH

Right, Triangle Of Truth has selected the number 3.

Is the number 3 there in the code?

If this works... HE LAUGHS

It's not in the first box.

Is it there in the second box?

It's not there in the second box.

-Is the number 3 there in the third box?

-No.

-Oh! No.

-Not working, man.

-What happened?

We've built him up to this!

-It took so long to plan that as well.

-Yeah, we are...

KLAXON BLARES

It literally took so long to get that first number,

that we have run out of time on today's show.

-And The Triangle Of Truth will not be cracking the code today.

-Ha-ha!

Lesley, what about that?

I've never seen a team coming up with numbers in that way before,

so thank you for introducing me to something new.

Yeah. Good luck, gentlemen.

And please join us tomorrow and find out if Julian, Christian and Matt

can work their unique way to unlocking that safe

and taking home £4,000.

Thank you so much for watching and goodbye.
