Episode 1 The National Lottery: In It to Win It

It's the national lottery, in it to win it. Tonight with a rollover.

Please welcome your host, Dale Winton.

So, here's where one of our players could be going home

Will it be your special night tonight?

And by that I mean, will you be a winner with all

They are coming up later tonight, so keep your fingers crossed.

Hopefully you'll be a winner at home and a winner in the studio.

Let me introduce you to my, well, my co-hosts tonight, here they are:

If they make it out of the waiting area to join me here

in Winners' Row, everything crossed, I'll be giving them a cheque

But the question is, who will be the first person sitting

Let's find out who's going to play first.

You are colour-coordinated, the tie, the waistcoat, thank you.

I'll let the audience into a secret, when we met before the show you

were standing in a certain way and I said, I can tell what you do

Stand like you were standing when I met you.

Do you do that on purpose, because that's like, OK, you're nicked!

I get told off by my other half all time.

Presumably, if you win a large amount of money,

That is what is on offer, why come here for five

As long as you are here when the klaxon goes,

you are guaranteed a chance to go for your share of the fortune.

However, whilst I'll give five grand for a right answer,

You know what I'm going to say, right back there where you started,

if you give me the right answer, back here in Winners' Row.

This is the bit I hate when I look at it, the big fat zero

Let's make it five grand, right away.

I'm pretty sure straightaway I can rule out Caesar and Pharaoh.

Would you like me to take Mikado is the answer?

Done, I've accepted Mikado, if it's right we'll have the five grand.

APPLAUSE You know, from some weird reason I've got

into my head it was Pharaoh, I don't know what I was thinking.

OK, Dale, I know instantly it's not football.

I was waiting on it coming up and as soon as ballet appeared,

So in that case, Dale, I'll go with ballet.

Me too, I mean it's kind of famous, isn't it, the Bolshoi Ballet.

If it's ballet and were both right, and if it's not, were both wrong.

I don't think they're all going to be as easy as that.

Again, when the question came up, I wasn't sure

and then I was waiting on one name coming up and that name is there

OK, are you saying you'd like me to accept George Clooney?

Get this one right and it will be ?20,000.

I'll go simply on the basis that the Channel and the Channel Tunnel

runs between the UK and France, so I'll rule out Ireland there.

I'm not sure I'd have gone with you on France there,

For no great reason I'm swaying towards leek and potato, but it's

and perhaps being a bit lucky, I'm happy to see this question.

It's a song that plays in the background

while I make that half asleep drive to work every morning on the radio,

Pit Bull is one of the best artists ever, fabulous.

I won't sing it aloud so as not to embarrass myself.

You know what, Dale, I can sit here all night and try

I was looking for the name Johnny, it didn't come up, Bonnie did,

I'll go with Bonnie. Am I to accept Bonnie?

You say Bonnie, I hope it's right, is it money?

It should have been Bonnie, it doesn't sound right, Sukey, does it?

It does mean, however, please make your way to red.

Well, Paul had a fabulous start, paved the way for another one

of our members waiting in the waiting area to join me.

It is pink, it is Lily, come and make some extra money.

Best friends, where have you come from?

To be fair, Paul has done most of the work for you.

How much did you want to go home with?

Anything would be amazing, but 100,000 would be great.

How often do you get the chance on a Saturday night to win 100 grand

You only because my friend Paul got answer wrong and I've got to get him

out of the Red Area, right back here in Winners' Row, so I'll be

One question, find me the answer and you can do it.

And trying to think of how many US states I know.

I have been known in the past to get this wrong, however,

something in my mind and I often say the city and in a statement and

Atlanta, Georgia, is coming into my mind, which is making me think that

Would you like me to take Georgia as your answer?

It's unusual, there's only one state beginning with GE, isn't there.

So, Lily, 30 grand, here's where you can make it 35 grand.

If the klaxon went right now, only two of you here, your share

But that's not good enough, come on, let's raise it.

I was hoping for maybe 18 something in there.

I'm not sure whether 1948, it was maybe after World War II,

they brought in, or whether the NHS was there before World War II.

I know where you're coming from with that.

I don't have anything to go on, so I'm going to go 1901.

If we take 1922, are you happy with that one?

1901, I thought, OK, let's go back to 1901.

OK, because you're not sure gather your thoughts and then give me

You've changed your mind a bit on that one.

Do you know, that was the one you kept on going

OK, one of you will be joining me on Winners' Row, after another five

OK, Tendulkar was who I was hoping for.

It was just Ricky Ponting gave me a choice to make now.

I went with my gut earlier, I'm going to go with Sachin Tendulkar.

OK, are you saying you'd like me to take Sachin Tendulkar?

If it is right, you know the drill, it will be 35 grand

So we now have 35 grand in the prize fund

and I have three expectant faces, one of them will join me on Winners'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Hi, Claire, how are you, darling?

It's been a bit of a wait, hasn't it?

My sister, Julie, and my aunty, June.

So quite often there's not much in when one person comes over first

time, but already Paul has put 35 grand in.

How long have you been courting this one?

We've only been together for 11 years.

We're still getting to know each other!

OK, what would you do with 100 grand?

I've always harboured a desire to train to be a marine biologist.

That is different to what I do now, a mental health nurse

I live in a little village in West Cumbria.

Oh, he knows his place, what he has to do.

so we have to get her out of the Red Area, back on Winners' Row.

It was before I was born, so I don't really recall.

I will read the question again, sometimes it comes to you.

Not that it would matter to you, because you weren't around,

but it was a major headline, it was everywhere.

I guess what you need to do is try and remember a racehorse.

I used to work in a bookies, several years ago, so I'm going to

pick out a name that was popular then and go for Ben Nevis.

If that is right, she is heading back to Winners' Row.

So that chance to go back where she belongs, is it Ben Nevis?

Please make your way back where you started.

before you were even around, but that's the way it works, I guess.

Which means if the klaxon went now, your share between you, ?17,500,

I'm pretty sure it isn't Oliver Twist.

But I'm not sure about the other two.

Really, really, even so I'm going to take a guess at David Copperfield.

Would you like me to take David Copperfield as your answer?

You do. have some competition.

40 grand prize fund, it's good, it's not good enough.

If you're ready, Paul, here's your next question.

Now, is this one of the tracks you hear

on the radio on the way into work in the morning, like the Pit Bull one?

Would you like me to take Jake Bugg as your answer?

He's come from nowhere, this Jake Bugg, hasn't he?

45 grand, oh, wouldn't it be nice if that was an even 50?

I'm just going to have a complete guess and say railway.

Would you like me to take railway as your answer?

APPLAUSE Paul, it looks like you've got a good little team going here.

Even 50, split two ways, 25 grand apiece.

It would be nice if it was even more though, wouldn't it?

I know, exactly, I got lucky the last time.

I just know that everyone that I know will know this one.

Because I've never had it and I don't know what it is,

Would you like me to take cauliflower as your answer?

APPLAUSE Right, 55, if we get to 60, that will be an even 30.

That is a convoluted question, isn't it?

I think I'll take a kind of educated guess and say Kelly Hoppen.

Would you like me to take Kelly Hoppen as your answer?

Lily, I know you've experienced what it's like to be over here.

Who have you got with you for support?

Mike gorgeous daughter and my sister.

I'm going to storm the stage soon, in a minute, aren't we?

Who did you bring with you for support?

I brought my mum, Pat, and Helen, my partner.

You know with this game anything can happen so I guess just be patient.

When you look at that ?60,000, you know you are responsible

You know you've got to be here when the klaxon goes.

You're quite good with the sport usually, aren't you?

Not too bad, it is one of my favourite subjects but I've

Would you like me to accept skiing is your answer?

OK, Chemmy Alcott, if skiing is the right answer and I've accepted

it, you have really made good work of a nasty question for you.

OK, you now have ?65,000 in the prize fund, 32,500 each.

I'm almost afraid to give you another question,

Here is your next question for another 5,000.

There is a collection of fellows for you.

Oh, I've never heard of the books, I have to say.

Would you like me to take Genghis Khan as your answer?

If you are right that would nudge it up to 70,000,

I daren't look over my shoulder, what are they like over there,

For another five grand, this will be 70, is the answer Genghis Khan?

APPLAUSE Do you know, what with you and Paul,

You both are, "I don't know" and then get it right every time.

Well, 70 grand, 35 grand apiece, wouldn't it be wonderful

I don't watch the show but I've obviously picked up an advert and

Well, you're a policeman, so an inspector would be sort of like...

Are you saying you'd like me to take Martin Shaw as your answer?

I hope you're right, Paul, you've been wonderful tonight.

Time is marching on, the klaxon could quite frankly go at any time.

If it's Martin Shaw, you've got 75 grand in there, breathtaking.

OK if we get the right answer to this one it's ?80,000.

It's getting very grown-up, isn't it, Claire?

Now would not be a good time to get the answer wrong.

OK, here for another five grand is your next question.

Well, he comes after Henry IV. have to do with this?

If that is right you've worked it out beautifully.

I wouldn't know where to begin with a question like this.

APPLAUSE You are playing me, you two.

You say, I don't know, but you worked it out well.

If you give me the correct answer now that will be

85 grand, which means your potential share would be 42,500

But in this instance I don't think it's him.

Before the names came up again I was looking for Davina.

Would you like me to take Davina as your answer?

If that is right, 85 grand.

I was just about to say we have 85,000.

It's frozen, it's not going anywhere.

It's all yours, if you give me the right answer.

Right now you're looking at a 50-50 split, only to

One question separates each of you from a minimum of ?42,000.

Give them a cheer, they've done so well.

Which means, oh, my dears,

I'm sorry, you two never got the chance to come across.

However, I have to say good night with heavy heart.

They're going to change you as you go.

One question separates you from that money.

I'll return with that question very shortly.

Well, all they have to do now is hold their nerve

for a few minutes before they find out if they're going to be

But here's your chance to win a fortune into night's Thunderball

Thanks very much. Welcome to the National Lottery Live. Your two

chances to win huge sums of money on the Lotto and Thunderball draws in a

few minutes. Our guest here at lottery HQ is a singer, West End

star and a pretty good ice-skater too, what a combination of talents!

Ray Quinn will be pushing the button tonight. Butt first, time to look at

this week's National Lottery Awards nominee. Melvin O'Doom doom went to

meet one of the finalists in the education category, Slam H.

What does Slam H stand for? Start low, aim high. The aim of Slam H is

yeah, it's training, yes, it's nutrition, but two of the biggest

things is communication and life skills. When it comes to strength

and training no-one knows more than big Dave, a former world strongest

man and a holder of world records for physical strength. He has

developed a number of anti-bullying projects for young people. I ended

up in jail. I started here. My life started going up and up again. Tell

me about big Dave. He's a legend. That's all I can say. He's a legend.

He's taught me how to get along with people and talk to people. And have

a laugh. What was your life like before Slam H? It was quite What

were you bad. Getting up to? Crime, drugs, stuff like that. How has the

training changed your life then? When I was doing drugs, in trouble

with the police, I never had no contact with my daughter, I wasn't

allowed to see her, now I see her every week. Going to the gym keeps

me focussed on what I want. How important is the National Lottery

funding to this project? Immense. It wouldn't be possible without the

funding that we've had. So, Dave, could you teach me some lifts?

Absolutely. Shall we start with this for your back. Cool. Gabby, this is

for you! I think he can fly. He's back next

week with the last of the National Lottery award nominees. Can you see

all the winners and hear their amazing stories on BBC One during

the National Lottery Stars show on Friday, September 19, at 10. 35pm.

The time has come. Here's Thunderball.

OK, then start up both machines, please Matt, if you would. The draws

are being overseen by an independent adjudicator.

Last week over 2. ?2.7 million has been paid out in Thunderball prize

was over half a million winning tickets. Many congratulations to all

you winners. Let's start the draw, please. Off we go. The very best of

luck to you. Here we go. There is the first one, 14. A total of 39

balls to pick from in this first machine. You choose five of them.

There's number three. There are three opportunities per week to play

the game - Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Income tax up is that one

-- next up is that one there, number 38. The top prize on Thunderball,

?500,000. The next one, please, number 39. You win a prize for just

matching the Thunderball itself, remember. Timely how about that one,

number seven. OK next we need to choose the Thunderball itself. There

are 14 in all. We will select just one of them. Let's do it Matt, here

we goment -- go. There are 14 in there

and we need just one of them. That's number four. Here are tonight's

Thunderball numbers again, this time in ascending order.

#6 Thank you very much. Still to come

this Saturday's Lotto draw and my guest is a singer whose first album

went to number one. He's hoping that the second will do the same. Ray

Quinn will be here. Now back to In It To Win It.

Welcome back. Not long ago, these two people helped put ?85,000 on the

on the prize fund, translated that means they are each looking

Only one question separates them from the cash.

You were so late coming across and suddenly you're looking

Please reveal to me Claire's last question.

That's an elegant question, isn't it?

I'm trying to envisage what it must be like to know that the

I mean, I'm just trying to put myself in your shoes for a minute.

but they mean something else but that doesn't mean to say I'm right.

I'm following deduction, I'm going to go for shambles.

Are you saying you like me to accept shambles as your answer?

If you are right the minimum you're leaving here tonight with is

If you are wrong, that means Paul is playing for the full 85.

I quite like it going half and half, that would be nice.

What Claire goes home with and what home with, you daren't look, dare

What Claire goes home with and what you go home with is determined by

the answer you give me. If you give me the right answer, you're going

the answer you give me. If you give do exactly what Claire did and

the answer you give me. If you give here with a cheque for ?42,500. Hugh

are you feeling -- how are you feeling? Yeah, it's a big Are you

ready deal. ? Yes. We are all with you. Everybody in the room,

everybody at home, we're all on your side. We want you to go home with

the money. Let's see the question. Are you laughing, is that a good

laugh? It's a good laugh. I hope it's a

laugh? It's a good laugh. I hope questions tonight, I've been careful

not to get too confident, however, and this is funny, both Kevin my

friend's wife and Kirsten discuss this book, as I'm sure many women

around the world discuss this book, and I believe it's Christian Would

you like Grey. Me to take that as your answer? I would. Like, "Do it

now!" OK. I hear you. I've accepted Christian. If you are right, happy

days. Both of you will go home with ?42,500. Is it right? Yes!

Congratulations. Come on! Well done. Fantastic. Listen, you can relax

now. All I have to do is return with your cheques. I'll be back.

as a singer, a fantastic ice-skater and West End star, Ray Quinn is back

with a new single. I can hear it. Welcome to National Lottery Live.

Hello, thanks for having me. Always lovely to see you. Before we talk

about your new single, I'm panicked. Why? Does that mean you're leaving

the stage? Not a long time, but I'm focussed on the music at the minute.

It's been a mad four months. The EP is out 15th September. The tour is

coming up. It's all happening at the minute. I can hear it, it sounds

good, what's it call? Love You More Do you? Today. I do. Even more every

time. Tell me about the song. Yes, the song is an old 70s song which we

remixed a big with a bit of swing and jazz influence. I've been

working hard on the sound. It's really exciting. The saxophone

player finished playing for the Rolling Stones. We haven't

compromised on Pleased to hear quality. It. You're going to be

doing exciting things, you're not allowed to talk about them, but

tease me. Not only with the music and the tour an everything, next

year I'm doing a movie, which is very exciting. And more TV is coming

up at the end of the year. I can't tell you much about, it but keep an

eye out. We will. Your little one t'work years old. Do you think he's

going to be going into the business. You started young, you were eight.
