Episode 3 The National Lottery: In It to Win It

Well, we're here it tonight and we're In It To Win It.

Is this the night you've been waiting for?

Will you be going to win a fortune in the Lottery draws later?

Are our five players here in the studio going home

They're already smiling because they know there's

Right, I'm heading off to Winner's Row right now.

If they make it over there, and stay there until the klaxon

sounds, they're in with a chance for the cash.

They each have their own colour, but who's going to join

It's blue, it's Allie, come and make some money.

Posh people call it Clam Dam.

Who have you brought with you for support?

That's my friend Marie and my friend Gentle.

Hobbies watching game shows, In It To Win It especially,

If the man who makes all the crisps said, you know what,

we're not selling too many, we're going to cut it

It's a ridiculous question, what would you choose?

What would be your two Desert Island crisps?

It has to be prawn cocktail and Thai sweet chilli.

OK, I'm handing you a cheque for ?50,000-?60,000,

what's the first cheque you're going to write to buy?

New windows in my house because my house is

If the windows were fixed, then I wouldn't have

Every wrong answer, it only takes one, you go

from Winner's Row to, da, da, da - Red Area.

One way out of there, really, back here in Winner's Row.

Get the question wrong when you're in there and you go back

Because they're quite posh with their food.

Italy is like pasta and stuff like that.

Would you like me to accept Germany as your answer?

For another ?5,000 in the Prize Fund.

I think it is the lady with the big booty, Miss Kim Kardashian.

Are you saying you'd like me to take Kim K as your answer?

I accept Kim Kardashian, is that right?

You've got ?10,000 and you're on your own in Winner's Row.

Let's have a look.

No, I don't like this one.

I've never heard of a Bee Hummingbird.

So I'm going to have to go with Blue Tit.

Would you like me to accept Blue Tit as your answer?

So, then there were four in the Waiting Area,

one of whom is about to join me here in Winner's Row,

You could stick a beard on Gloria Hunniford

But, more importantly, you said to me I could...

Simon you should know better than to say a thing like that to me.

Anyway, if you win the money, I'm going

Beard oil.

Who have you brought with you for support.

I've brought my crazy dad Peter and I've brought my crazy sister,

You don't have to do a thing until I've got Allie out

of the Red Area back in Winner's Row.

I'll be back.

OK, the largest one I can think of, which sounds

Beluga and humpback are varieties of which large marine creature?

OK, that's the only one I can think of.

Would you like me to take whale as your answer?

Let's have a look.

Well, this is one film I've wanted to watch.

I do know, I think I know who it is.

Would you like me to take Paul Rudd as the answer?

I accept Paul Rudd, I hope you're right.

Now, I work in a library, so I should know this.

So you've got James Corden, Graham Norton.

I don't think it's David Walliams, I don't think it's James Corden.

OK, shall I take Graham Norton as your answer?

If that's right, ?20,000 in the Prize Fund.

Never one to miss a bit of self publicity, have

A little bit of a team going on here.

Well, I know Raheem went to Manchester City.

You're not hanging around, you want me to accept

Time is money, you're absolutely right.

Let's see, I'm sure you're right, if you think you are.

Allie, this is going very well.

That's a tricky one, unless you know.

It's either the middle six or nine million.

Yes, which is probably the right answer.

All right, my first instinct is six million,

Would you like me to take six million as your answer?

If you're right, we'll have ?30,000 in there.

For now, please, make your way to Red, Allie.

Well, Allie's misfortune is great news for our three other players

in the Waiting Area, one of whom is going

Who's it going to be, let's find out.

I don't know why you got a bigger applause.

Have you got the friends and family in?

I'm trying to detect an accent, I don't hear one.

I started off in St Helens and then made my way to Manchester.

I work as a support worker, careworker in a setting for young

adults with learning and physical disabilities.

Good job that makes you feel like you're

Every day there's something new and an adventure for them.

They really appreciate everything you do for them.

Look out uchlt your no Seb, I know you box.

So who knows what the other fella looks like.

My mum was taking my brother to school and I was in the pram.

She's pushing the pram, gets it stuck on the kerb.

A car comes round the corner and straight out of the pram.

And the pram went, you went.

You were hoping someone would hit you and set it the other way.

If someone hits it on the other side, I'd have it

So you finally want to have it straightened?

No, I'd probably end up breaking it end up breaking it boxing.

I got a big round of applause, so it musn't be that bad.

Listen, who did you bring with you for support?

I brought my dad and his partner.

Back in the Red Area, I'm going to get her out.

Of the Red Area, back in Winner's Row.

Your first question won't be until she's given me

You're smiling which means you probably know the answer.

I think I know it because I think he's really hot.

I think he's cute I remember thinking - he's cute

Are you saying you'd like me to accept Dermot as your answer?

Is he the guy we're looking for?

Now, then let's make it at least ?10,000-?15,000 a piece.

I think I would have heard of it if it was Coldplay,

I'm pretty sure I'd be humming it if it was Take That,

so I'd have to say Little Mix just because I don't know who they are.

Are you saying you would like me to take Little Mix as your answer?

OK, now you can make it ?35,000, quick smart.

I heard of the song, Do the Funky Gibbon.

OK, are you saying you'd like me to take

I'm aware, isn't it the one who wrote The Dragon Tattoo, I think.

Would it have a funny happy name like Samantha?

Are you saying you'd like me to accept Paula as your answer?

I accept Paula, is it right?

Can you make your way to Red, darling.

We've almost got a full house here in Winner's Row,

only two remaining in the Waiting Area.

Let's find out who it's going to be.

Well, I've just completed my first year

I graduated from medicine last summer from Belfast.

No, I now live in Warwick because I decided to make

the sensible decision to follow a fine lady up there

I decided instead of travelling backwards and forwards all the time

it would be much easier to travel over to England myself

I was thinking a minimum of ?20,000 would be nice.

That would be enough to do a nice trip.

Charlotte and I have been talking about travelling.

I think you're getting a bit a head of yourself there!

I will be back with your first question after Allie, once again,

I am trying to think Caribbean Islands.

Nothing is coming up with Guantanamo Bay.

Only one that's popping in my head and is going around

It's going to have to be Jamaica then.

Would you like me to take Jamaica as your answer?

Please go back where you started.

Does that question make you think as a doctor how it

I haven't heard of hackles on a human body.

I did have a pet dog for a long time.

But I never thought about his hackles.

So I think I am going to go with my gut instinct and say back.

If you are right, first one for you, it will be ?40,000.

I am going to read the question...

Yeah, I don't think I am going to get any more

I am stumped, to be honest with you, Dale.

I accept the BBC, if that is right, you know the deal, ?40,000

will in be the prize fund and you are still

Again it's going to be a complete guess.

I am going to have to go with my gut feeling,

the one I went for and that's Adkins.

Would you like me to accept Adkins as the answer?

So far tonight you have done very well.

You haven't even got to add to that right now because I have got

You know what it feels like.

However, you have seen Allie did it twice, and is back in Winners' Row.

Don't forget this will not be multiple choice.

Only one that's springing to my mind is Croatia.

I am trying to think of other countries that may be

I am going to stick with what first came into my mind, Dale,

Would you like me to take Croatia as your answer?

If it comes up you are going back to Winners' Row.

Allie, I wish you luck with this, your next question.

OK, I am going to discount Jeremy Irons.

I think I am going to pick Lenny Henry because I am sure

I saw him on the news for something, I think that's what it was,

Are you saying you want me to take Lenny as your answer?

If it's right, we will have ?50,000 in the prize fund.

Well, I don't listen to The Archers much but I don't think it's

I live in the Midlands and I hadn't heard of it there.

The north-east sounds quite generalised.

East Anglia kind of seems like a localised area so I think

Would you like me to take East Anglia as your answer?

Joan, you know what that means, at the end of this

Can't wait to hear the rest of this sentence!

She's up in the clouds at the moment, cabin

So I will go for Many Clouds.

That's your wife there on the plane sending you the message.

I think I will plump straight down the middle and go for the beautiful

and talented Veronica Roth that wrote The Fault In Our Stars.

Listen, the good thing about them being two in the Red Area means

You have had a long wait, haven't you, darling?

You didn't think it was going to happen, did you?

Especially when Allie came through and it was down

Originally London but I have travelled up from Bognor Regis,

that's where I live now in west Sussex.

I do sales support for a company that we

No, not those, canopys covering buildings, schools.

My aunt is there and my brother Henry.

That's assuming you won ?40,000 what would do you?

Listen we are going to come back with your first question in a bit.

You don't have to do anything at the moment.

You are only here, because look at those two in the Red Area.

We have to get them out of there and back in Winners' Row.

Pentagon is obviously the building in America and that's

It's a pentagon so I think it has five sides.

That means only one thing the prize fund is frozen.

?55,000 shared five ways, the minimum you can go

home with if you give me a correct answer is ?11,000.

You are one question away from that money.

It's unusual to have a Winners' Row absolutely full.

So, our players have one final question to answer before

Now it's your chance to be a winner in the Thunderball draw

Thank you very much. It's lovely to see you back, Dale. Welcome to the

National Lottery live. It's minutes before this year's Eurovision Song

Contest. I can't wait. Joining us tonight are world champion dancers

who became household names as strictly professionals, Vincent and

Flavia, welcome back. Your tour has gone on forever but it's ending in

July. We have plenty of shows until July. This is our last one. It's the

third. It's a trilogy. It's the last theatre production for a while. We

hope lots of people see us. It's The Last Tango. We will still carry on

dancing, don't worry about that. It's a beautiful show and watching

2002 dance, I came to see it and cried out of joy and love for it.

It's so beautiful. ? It's awful that you are going to stop. Yeah, we are

going to stop with the big theatre production. We want to put our

suitcases away, we have been on the road for about six years. Yeah, we

have done three shows. Yeah, we are going to tackle new projects. And

get our teeth into new things. Including panto? I never even

watched one but apparently I am in it. Lots of people will shout at

you. The biggest in the world, yeah, just with me. Why is it the biggest?

The world's biggest panto. We are doing did in Barclays arena in

Birmingham and then Wembley arena. About 6,000 per show which is going

to be amazing. We are going to have dialogue to learn. It will be a new

challenge. We cant you here without obviously dancing. So, Alan, over to

you. Gracing the floor of our humble lottery studio, the amazing Flavia

and Vincent. Oh, wow!

Wow! So beautiful. Really, really beautiful. Thank you.

Thank you so much. That was wonderful. I am going to talk more

in a few minutes but let's get started with the first of tonight's

draws. Here is Thunderball. Thank you.

OK. Start up both machines, please. Our draw master this Saturday night

is Julie Hamilton. The draws are overseen by an independent

adjudicator. In the last week over ?3 million has

been paid out in Thunderball prizes with more than 535,000 winning

tickets. Congratulations if you were a winner. Alan, thank you very much.

Right here is tonight's draw. If you would like to press the button,

please. Good luck everyone. You are enjoying that too much, I think! The

first one tonight, which is it going to be?

Three opportunities a week to play the game itself. Wednesday, Friday

and Saturday. Finally from the first machine: Now

we turn to the Thunderball, there are 14 in the second machine. Here

we go. It is tonight that one there, number

one. Here are tonight's Thunderball

numbers again: Thank you very much, Alan. Still to

come this Saturday's Lotto draw and Vincent and Flavia are going

nowhere. Right now, it's back to Dale.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING OK. Welcome back. Not so long ago

these five people helped put ?55,000 in the prize fund. It means they're

each looking at a share of at least ?11,000.

One question separates them from a cheque or not.

You have had a great game, how many have you answered right? I am

teasing you! Here you are.

Looking at ?11,000. Yes. How are you feeling? It would be lovely and I

hope I know my answer. The most important question of the night.

Here it is. It helps that I've never heard

of Kopi Luwak before. It's often said to be

the most-expensive variety of I'm actually going

to go with coffee. Would you like me to take

coffee as your answer? If it's right, the minimum you're

going home with ?11,000. Allie, you're now looking

at a minimum share of ?11,000. Let's do your last

question of the night. Any

good? I have aheard of all of them,

but I haven't heard of any of them in the news associated with setting

up a new party. Victoria Coren is very busy,

does lots of programmes. I'm going to discount her,

I heard of her in lots of different I should know if it's

her, I should think. It's between Mariella

and Sandi. I'm going to go for

Mariella Frostrup. Would you like me to take

Mariella Frostrup as your answer? If that is right, you're

taking your share of that Prize Fund Is it Mariella

Frostrup? Thanks for entertaining us

so beautifully tonight. Earlier Joan you won

a minimum of ?11,000. Because of what happened you are

looking at a minimum of ?13,750. If you're ready, I'd

like to give you your last Because of his accent,

I'm thinking England. He's got a funny accent now. He

sounds Scottish sometimes. Also sounds American!

I'm going to go for England. Would you like me to take England as your

answer? Yeah. You don't look like you like this one, Simon, at all.

No. OK. You have chosen England. I've accepted England. If that is

right, the minimum you are going home with is ?13,750. Is it England?

Wales. It's Wales. I'm so sorry. Ah, well. You winsome you lose some.

Wonderful attitude. Lovely to meet you. I'm sorry. Sorry.

APPLAUSE. Now the minimum is ?18,333. How are you doing? I'm

nervous. As anybody would be in this situation. Let's make it a winner.

Here's your last question of the night. Let's have a look.

Any good? Yeah, I'm pleased about this one. Good. I didn't used to be

into golf. Being a Northern Irish guy, the recent success of the

Northern Irish golfers I have followed it in the last couple of

years. And, Rory McIlroy in 2015 didn't have quite as good a season

because of a certain guy up there on the board, Jordan Spieth. I'm

convinced it's Jordan Spieth? Would you like me to take Jordan Spieth as

your answer? Yes. Accepted. Is it Jordan Spieth? Zach, Johnson. What

happened? You seemed so confident. Yeah. I thought he was going for

the... You are thinking in his mind. Three Majors or four. Richard what

is happening tonight is crazy. It is. Really nigh to meet you. Thank

you. Safe journey home. I'm sorry. APPLAUSE.

You never know in Winner's Row, do you? In a matter of minutes you

aring going home with a minimum of ?27,500. It's up to you whether she

is going home with ?55,000. This determines whether you get a cheque

or not. Are you ready? I wish you luck. That's a lot of money. Your

question is: I have a cat! A cat. Yeah, call

Kiki. I'm pretty sure it's bloodhound. Border collies are

clever dog dogs. St Bernard's are used for resz Kew. Bloodhound are

used for sense of smell. At least I hope they are. Am I to accept that

Please. I accept bloodhound. It's ill lum anywayed. If it's right you

are going home with ?27,500. Is Joan. I'd like it to be right for

you. Is it bloodhound? YES! That's a relief. Well done.

APPLAUSE. OK. So, relax. I'll be back with your cheque very soon.

APPLAUSE. OK. Well, it's been a wonderful

night on In It To Win It. Unusual. Will you be celebrating tonight as

well? I hope so. A fortune is up for grabs in the big Saturday night

Lottery draw with the rest of tonight's draws. I wish you luck.

APPLAUSE Thank you very much. The Lotto Draw is coming up. Vincent and

Flavia will push the button again. Tell us about the story behind your

show, the Last Tango? It's a beautiful show. Our favourite of the

three. It's an emotional roller-coaster. There is an older

Vincent. We take you through his life. When we met their partner to

the end of their life. We have a cast of 15 amazing West End dancers

and singers and musicians. Amazing orchestra that play live for every

show. Every single show. We love it so much. The story is simple, so

touching. Beautiful set and lighting. A great team of designers,

costumes, everything. Can you imagine how you two will be on the

very last night? I hope they cancel the last show. If they cancel the

last show it will be the one before that. You will have the last one. We

haven't thought about that yet. We have to think about how we get

through it. Where is the last one Southampton. Stand by with tissues.

Definitely. Break a leg - please, don't. These are people I should not

say it to. I hope it goes well. They will be pushing the button in a

moment. Here's Lotto. OK, let's release those big money

balls. There are even more chances to become a millionaire. Here's

tonight's Lotto jackpot. It's an estimated ?3.9 million. Thanks to

Sam Crook we are using Quinevere and set of balls eight. Congratulations

to you if you were a winner this week. If you could press that button

again, please, Vincent and Flavia. The first one tonight:

Million aerial's row this Eurovision weekend looks like this in ascending

order: -- millionaire's Row. Alan, thank you very much. I have my

flag standing by to wave in a moment. I hope you have yours up

there as well, Alan. Thank you very much. Good luck with your tour.

Italy. I will see you next Saturday. Good luck everybody. Here is Dale

with the final part of In It To Win It. Bye. I hope those draws worked

out for you. My work is almost done. All I have to do is hand over the

cheques to our winners. APPLAUSE. You never thought when you

were sitting over there in a matter of minutes I would be handing you a

check cheque for ?27,500. Thank you. Thank you so much. Brian. Pay

?27,500. I didn't think it was going to work out, but it did.

roller-coaster. It worked out the end all right. I hope you enjoyed
