00:00These four people have never met before, but by working as a team, they have the chance to win thousands of pounds.
00:05There's just one thing standing in their way.
00:08The Chaser.
00:10The Chase is on.
00:21Hello and welcome to The Chase.
00:23Today's team of four total strangers believe they have what it takes to beat one of Britain's finest quiz brains and take home thousands of pounds.
00:29Why don't we meet them?
00:31I'm Dinos. I'm 21. I'm a maths student and I'm from Sheffield.
00:35I'm Graham. I'm 42 and I'm a dental surgeon from Lancashire.
00:39I'm Wendy. I'm 23. I'm a barmaid and waitress from Migla Morgan.
00:44I'm Carolyn. I'm 42. I'm a HR assistant with Greater Manchester Police from Oldham.
00:49So there they are.
00:51And one by one, they've got to win as much money as they can, bring it safely down the table and into the team prize fund.
00:57But, as always, hunting them down every step of the way is The Chaser.
01:01Anyone who gets caught, loses their money and is out of the game.
01:04Make it back safely, though, and they will go through to the final chase with a chance to win an equal share of their total prize fund.
01:10And first to face The Chaser, it's Dinos.
01:16Welcome to the show.
01:17Hi, Brad.
01:18And where are you from?
01:19I'm from Sheffield.
01:20All right, Dinos. That's very good. Do you take part in normal quizzes, pub quizzes or club quizzes or anything?
01:26Sometimes, yeah. I'm a bit of a quizzer. I like to quiz at the gym. I believe in a healthy mind in a healthy body.
01:32So I like to, you know, get on the treadmill while I watch The Chase and exercise the grey cells.
01:38Very, very good. And if you won some money, what would you do with it?
01:41Well, I'm getting married in July.
01:43Right.
01:43So, yeah, we've got the wedding sorted, but a bit of cash will come in handy for the honeymoon.
01:48Well, I wish you luck. I will ask you quick-fire questions against the clock.
01:52Each correct answer is worth £1,000. Build up as much cash as we can. Yeah?
01:56Excellent.
01:57Good luck, Dinos. The time starts now.
02:01Shane Warne played test cricket for what country?
02:04France.
02:05Australia. What nuclear power station in Cumbria was once called Windscale?
02:09Pass.
02:10Sellafield. 18 straight whiskeys. I think that's the record.

02:16Pass.
02:16Dylan Thomas. Who's the movie star sister of actor Eric Roberts?
02:20Pass.
02:21Julia Roberts. What sport features in the film Blades of Glory?
02:25Ice skating.
02:26Correct. What group topped the charts in the 60s with silence is golden?
02:31Pass.
02:32The Tremolos. What country's flag is also known as Old Glory?
02:38England.

02:45Simpsons.
02:46Why don't you?
02:47In what book of the Bible is the story of Noah's Ark?
02:50Exodus.
02:51Genesis.
02:52Benazir Bhutto was prime minister of what country?
02:55India.
02:55Pakistan.
02:56What bear has the Latin name Ursus Maritimus?
03:00Paul Bear.
03:01Correct.
03:02£2,000.
03:03Bit shaky.
03:04Yeah, could have been better.
03:05Don't worry.
03:06£2,000 is not bad.
03:08All we've got to do now is get it past the chaser and into the final chase.
03:13But who will you be up against today?
03:15Will it be the governess Anne Hegarty?
03:18She's a prim and proper contestant stopper.
03:20Or will it be Mark Lebet?
03:22A big man in the quiz business.
03:24Actually a big man in any business.
03:26Or will it be Sean Wallace?
03:28The barrister who will be your judge, jury and executioner.
03:32Who do you fancy taking on?
03:34Well, if you'd asked me before the accumulator, I'd have said I wouldn't mind taking on the beast.
03:38Right.
03:39Because, yeah, I think he's definitely the most formidable.
03:42But any of them, absolutely bring it on.
03:44Bring it on?
03:45Yeah.
03:45Let's do it.
03:46It's time to face the chaser.
03:51Oh, it is.
03:52Oh, it is as well.
03:53It is the beast himself.
03:57Mark Lebet.
04:00Good afternoon, Dinos.
04:01Hi.
04:02That was awful.
04:03Could have been better.
04:05Anything could have been better than that.
04:07Dinos, let's put some money on the table straight away.
04:10Three steps ahead of the chaser.
04:11If you wish to take a step closer to home, the chaser will offer you...
04:14What's the name of your fiancée?
04:15Emma.
04:16Think what she'd like you to do with £400.
04:20£400.
04:21However, if you want to take a step closer to the chaser, he will offer you...
04:24Give Emma a great honeymoon.
04:26£8,000.
04:27Not bad.
04:28Have a chat with the team.
04:30There you go.
04:31What do you think, guys?
04:32I think it was a bit tough for you going up first there, Dinos, and I think you could
04:36probably do £2,000, but I think you might as well go for £8,000 as well.
04:40I think you've relaxed a bit now.
04:41I think you could bring £8,000 home.
04:43Right.
04:43What about the girls?
04:46Anything to say, girls?
04:47That's very un-chivalrous of you.
04:49Anything to say, girls?
04:50I'd play safe.
04:51I'd stick with the two.
04:52Yeah, I tend to agree.
04:54I think you should stick in the £2,000.
04:56So, girls are being cautious.
04:58Graham's sending you into the den.
05:00So, what'll it be?
05:01Well, £8,000, that'd get me a pretty nice honeymoon.
05:05Yes.
05:06£2,000 would also be pretty nice.
05:08£400, just about enough to get me to Scarborough.
05:11Yes.
05:12But Emma's favourite place is Scarborough, so I think that's what I'm going to go for.
05:16Fair enough.
05:17There it is.
05:18£400.
05:19Chaser.
05:20As a fellow mathematician, I'm actually impressed with that strategic thinking.
05:24Yes.
05:24The amount you had on the table was so low that the middle offer was not really an option.
05:29So, bravo for thinking clearly.
05:32Yes.
05:32Although I'm sure your teammates won't be impressed.
05:34That was actually the smart move to do.
05:35Graham, you wanted him to go to £8.
05:37Well, I think he should have taken the £2.
05:39But if he brings £400 and gets back here, then that's fair enough.
05:42Let's get that money home, although it's not a lot, I have to say.
05:46You will answer the same questions at the same time as the chaser.
05:49If you're right, you'll take a step closer to home.
05:51If you're wrong, you give the chaser the chance to close the gap and you could possibly get caught.
05:56And if you get caught, you lose your money and you're out of the game.
06:00For £400, the chase is on.
06:08And good luck to you.
06:09Here comes your first question.
06:13Which group topped the charts in the 60s with Obladi, Oblada?
06:17Was it A, bread, B, jam, C, marmalade?
06:21And you're way too young to remember this one.
06:27You've put bread.
06:30That's a guess.
06:31Total guess.
06:32I don't like the other condiments, so went for bread.
06:34Fair enough.
06:35Correct answer is marmalade.
06:39Mmm, maybe you should start eating some marmalade.
06:42You've got to stay where you are.
06:43The chaser has put.
06:46Yes, he will know that straight away.
06:48No point in dilly-dallying, chaser.
06:49Well, Brad, I know you know your 60s music.
06:51Wasn't that written by Lennon McCartney?
06:53Do you know what I think it was?
06:54Yeah.
06:55Here we go.
06:56Here's the next question.
06:59The Bulgarian athlete, Stefka Kostakdinova, set which long-standard world record in 1987?
07:06A, long jump.
07:08B, high jump.
07:09C, triple jump.
07:15You've put.
07:18Triple jump.
07:18Do you know this athlete?
07:19No.
07:20Your name's similar to this, isn't it?
07:21It is, yeah.
07:22My full name's Konstadinos, and I was good at the triple jump at school, and that's kind of why I went for it.
07:28Although, going along the logic from last time might not work.
07:31Right, correct answer is.
07:34High jump, staying where you are again.
07:37The chaser has put.
07:41Yeah, he knows his stuff.
07:43With a height of two meters and seven, I believe.
07:45Here's the next question.
07:48In The Simpsons, Marge has twin sisters called Patty and what?
07:54A, Selma.
07:56B, Velma.
07:57C, Selma.
08:00You've put.
08:02You know this?
08:02Easy.
08:03Grew up watching it.
08:04Great.
08:05Correct answer is.
08:07Well done.
08:08Step close to the home.
08:09Bit of confidence building there.
08:10Phew.
08:11Phew, indeed.
08:12The chaser has put.
08:15Yes, also Selma.
08:17And remains just then two places behind us.
08:19Here we go now with the next question.
08:21Which Shakespeare character utters the line, get thee to a nunnery?
08:29A, Hamlet.
08:30B, Othello.
08:31Or C, Macbeth.
08:33You have put.
08:33You have put.
08:39Hamlet.
08:40I've seen Hamlet and it kind of rings a bell, but I could be completely wrong.
08:45Correct answer is.
08:48Yes.
08:48Well played.
08:49The chaser has put.
08:53Yes.
08:54Following us all the way.
08:55Here's your next question.
08:59Which actor's father served as Lord Chancellor?
09:03A, Peter Bowles.
09:04B, Simon Williams.
09:06C, Nigel Havers.
09:07Oh, good.
09:11You've put.
09:14Simon Williams.
09:14I haven't heard of any of them, never mind now, which is father's Lord Chancellor.
09:19You've never heard of any of those actors?
09:21Never.
09:21You're kidding me.
09:23He's too young.
09:25You've put Simon Williams.
09:26Correct answer is.
09:29It's Nigel Havers.
09:32It's not going well.
09:33Not going good.
09:34Nigel Havers' dad, as Lord Chancellor, was known as Savers Havers.
09:40I think.
09:41I might have just made that bit up.
09:43In fact, I have just made that bit up.
09:45But I have to be honest, I like it.
09:48Let's see what the chaser put.
09:51Oh, he knew straight away.
09:54Right.
09:54We've got to get this question right, mate.
09:56We have.
09:56You know, we're in big trouble.
09:57He's absolutely on form.
09:59You wanted to take him on, but he's caught us up and you're in danger of going out.
10:02This has got to be right.
10:03Here's your next question.
10:07As part of a festival, what food is thrown annually in the town of Buñol, near Valencia?
10:14A. Flour.
10:15B. Tomatoes.
10:17C. Eggs.
10:23You've put...
10:25Tomatoes.
10:27I might just well throw one at him after.
10:29Yeah.
10:29You know this?
10:30No.
10:30Why have you guessed tomatoes, Ed?
10:32I just went mental picture in my head.
10:35Tried to see him throwing eggs, flour.
10:37I think I just went for tomatoes.
10:40Correct answer is...
10:41Yeah.
10:41The Buñol Festival.
10:45One more.
10:46That's extraordinary, that.
10:47Step closer to home.
10:48It's good.
10:49The chaser has put.
10:52Yes, he has indeed.
10:53Tomatoes and he's on fire.
10:55I can't see the point of throwing food.
10:58You know, eat it.
10:59So, Dinos, if you get the next one right, you're through.
11:03The Merry Man and His Maid is the alternative title of which Gilbert and Sullivan operetta?
11:10Is it A. The Yeoman of the Guard, B. The Pirates of Penzance, C. The Gondoliers?
11:17You have put...
11:21Do you know you're Gilbert and Sullivan?
11:23No.
11:24Not a clue.
11:25Pirates are often merry, so maybe it might be the merry man pirate.
11:29Might be.
11:30Correct answer is...
11:34Yeoman of the Guard.
11:38Now then, if the chaser is right, you're going out, because you now have to stay where you are.
11:45Has the chaser put Yeoman of the Guard?
11:47We'll find out after the break.
11:52Oh, welcome back.
11:54We're in a bit of a pickle.
11:55Well, Dinos here is one question from going out.
12:00Before the break, I asked him,
12:01The Merry Man and His Maid is the alternative title to which Gilbert and Sullivan operetta?
12:06Dinos got it wrong.
12:08The actual answer was The Yeoman of the Guard.
12:11Now, if the chaser's got this right, Dinos is gone.
12:14The chaser has put...
12:20Oh, he's put the Gondoliers!
12:22Cracking songs, but I just don't remember the subtitles.
12:25Shock of my life.
12:26I was ready to get my coat.
12:27Well, we're not ready to see the back of you yet, Dinos.
12:29We live to fight again.
12:31Here we go.
12:32Here's your next question.
12:34The Scotsman, Alex Marshall, has won the world's men's singles title in which sport?
12:40A. Squash.
12:41B. Bowls.
12:43C. Croquet.
12:48You have put...
12:51Squash.
12:52You gave me the answer.
12:56Did he?
12:57Well, he'll squash me.
12:58Oh, I see what you mean.
13:00Now then, gotta be right.
13:01Correct answer is...
13:04Oh, it's Bowls!
13:09Once again, we're in danger of going home.
13:11The chaser has put...
13:12Aye, aye, aye!
13:21When the question came up, I thought, it's either squash or Bowls.
13:24So when both of them came up, I flipped a coin and for once I got lucky.
13:30Dinos, you have been caught, and for you, the chase is over.
13:33Thank you very much.
13:34Cheerio, Dinos.
13:38Oh, well.
13:39Well, a lesson to the other three, perhaps. I'm in a pretty unforgiving mood today.
13:43And next up, it's Graham.
13:45So, dental surgeon.
13:51That's right.
13:51And how long have you been a dental surgeon?
13:53Oh, nearly 20 years now.
13:54And if you had a plan for your winnings, if you won some money, what would you do?
13:57Well, funny as it might sound, I actually want to buy a new dental chair for my surgery,
14:01because the one I've got, it's about 15 years old now, and I think it's time I upgraded to a newer model.
14:06Right, fair enough.
14:07Well, let's see if we can do that.
14:09Okay.
14:09Now then, quickfire questions against the clock.
14:12I wish you luck.
14:13Your time starts now.

15:16Professional.
15:17No.
15:18Correct answer was parcel.
15:19Not bad though.
15:206,000 pounds.
15:21Okay.
15:21That's no bad.
15:22Yeah.
15:22Yeah.
15:23All we've got to do now is get it past the chaser.
15:25Good afternoon, Graham.
15:38Hiya, Mark.
15:39Better than the last one, but that isn't saying very much.
15:42No, it's not, is it?
15:42So you're used to inflicting pain?
15:44I am.
15:45Welcome to my world.
15:46This bit of money on the table, there it goes.
15:486,000 pounds, three steps ahead of the chaser.
15:51If you wish to take a step closer to the home, the chaser will offer you?
15:53230.
15:56230, I get it.
15:57I love it.
15:58230 pounds.
16:00However, if you want to take a step closer to the chaser, he will offer you.
16:03See if I can entice you with 20,000 pounds.
16:06You could buy a diamond-encrusted chair with that.
16:09Have a chat with your team.
16:11What do you think, ladies?
16:12I think you should go for 20,000.
16:14I think you've got the knowledge, the confidence.
16:16He was guessing some in the last round as well, so.
16:19Not many.
16:20Don't let him put you off.
16:21Go for it.
16:22Well, well done, girls.
16:24Graham, what'll it be?
16:2620,000 pounds is really tempting.
16:28But I think I'm going to take the 6,000.
16:31Thank you, Graham.
16:316,000 is chaser.
16:33I can see this isn't going to be a team that's going to be full of heroes and heroines.
16:37For 6,000 pounds, the chase is on.
16:44Here comes your first question.
16:46Which of these is not considered one of the big five safari animals?
16:51A, a leopard.
16:52B, rhinoceros.
16:54C, zebra.
16:57You've put.
16:58A leopard.
17:00Why is that?
17:02I don't know what rhinoceros is.
17:05I'm fairly sure you're more likely to see a zebra on a safari than a leopard.
17:09An educated guess, I think.
17:10Correct answer is.
17:14Zebra.
17:14Hmm.
17:15Staying where you are straight away.
17:16The chaser has put.
17:20Yes, a zebra straight away.
17:21I believe they refer to the five creatures that big game hunters regarded as the ones they'd want to catch and kill, whereas zebras are pretty common.
17:29Mm-hmm.
17:30Here's your next question.
17:33Which newsreader won the 2010 Rear of the Year award?
17:37Is it A, Fiona Bruce, B, Sophie Raworth, or C, Kate Silverton?
17:46You put.
17:48Fiona Bruce.
17:49I remember reading about it in the newspaper.
17:51Yeah?
17:51Yeah.
17:51Correct answer is.
17:54It is indeed Fiona Bruce.
17:56Well done.
17:56Step closer to home.
17:57The chaser has put.
18:00Also Fiona Bruce.
18:01Yes.
18:02Very good.
18:03Here's your next question.
18:04French billionaire Lillian Betancourt is the heiress to which fortune?
18:11A, Chanel.
18:12B, Danone.
18:14C, L'Oreal.
18:18You've put.
18:20Chanel.
18:23Again, this was in the news fairly recently.
18:26I can't remember what it exactly was, but I'm fairly sure it was Chanel.
18:29Correct answer is.
18:30It's L'Oreal.
18:34Staying where you are.
18:35The chaser has put.
18:40Yes.
18:40Because I'm worth it.
18:44Very good.
18:45One step behind.
18:46Graham, let's get these right.
18:47Here's your next question.
18:50Which musical features the numbers, all I ask of you, and the music of the night?
18:55Is it A, Cats, B, Phantom of the Opera, C, Aspects of Love?
19:01You've put.
19:04Very quick on your buzzer, Phantom of the Opera, you know this?
19:06Yeah, favourite musical.
19:07Pretty straightforward.
19:08Correct answer is.
19:11Indeed, Phantom of the Opera.
19:13Move a step closer to home, the chaser has put.
19:16Yes, same as.
19:18Moving straight on.
19:19Next question.
19:20Critical moment.
19:21Felipe Calderon became president of which country in 2006?
19:27A, Spain.
19:28B, Chile.
19:29C, Mexico.
19:34Quite tentative on the button there, I'm not sure you know this.
19:37You have put.
19:39Chi.
19:40Tough one?
19:41Yeah.
19:43Not confident on this, I'm afraid.
19:44Not confident?
19:44No.
19:44Okay.
19:45Wish you luck.
19:46Correct answer is.
19:50Unlucky.
19:51Mexico in danger of going out.
19:54Stay in the game.
19:55The chaser has put.
20:02Ah, yay, yay.
20:05Well played.
20:06I'm in an unforgiving mood today.
20:08Yeah.
20:08You know yourself.
20:09Graham, you have been caught in view.
20:11The chase is over.
20:12Thanks, Brad.
20:13Cheers.
20:13Cheers, Graham.
20:16That was quick.
20:18He played well, but I played better.
20:20Ladies, I'm not in a nice mood today.
20:23Indeed.
20:24All doesn't bode well for the girls.
20:27Next to face the chaser is Wendy.
20:32Welcome.
20:33Hi.
20:34From Midglamorgan.
20:35Yes.
20:36That's where you were from originally?
20:38No, I was brought up in Manchester.
20:40Right.
20:40Now living in Wales.
20:42And what part of Wales?
20:43Port Corle.
20:44It's near Bridgend, South Wales.
20:45Yes, absolutely.
20:46So, barmaid and waitress, did you enjoy that?
20:48Yeah, I love that.
20:48Good stuff.
20:49Do you have a broad knowledge?
20:50I like to think so.
20:51Well, let's see how you get on.
20:52Quickfire questions against the clock, Wendy.

21:59That's not bad at all.
22:01£7,000.
22:02Pleased with that?
22:03Yes.
22:04Very.
22:05Let's see if we can beat the chaser.
22:18Good afternoon, Wendy.
22:20Good afternoon.
22:21Ah, poor Cole.
22:22Lovely place except when it's windy.
22:25Unfortunately, it's windy most of the time there, in my experience.
22:27Put your £7,000 on the table.
22:29There we are.
22:30If you want to take a step closer to home, the chaser will offer you...
22:32A derisory £1,000.
22:35However, take a step closer to the chaser.
22:37He will offer you...
22:39£30,000.
22:41And you're guaranteed at least half of that.
22:46Providing you win the chaser, of course.
22:48Have a chat with Carolyn.
22:51I'd advise go for the higher amount.
22:53I think she can do it.
22:54Thank you, Carolyn.
22:55Very confident sitting back now, I have to say.
22:58I'm going to stick with £7,000 because that's a lot of money.
23:01So, I'm going to stick with that.
23:03Okay.
23:04Understandable.
23:06I'd argue the fewer players left, the more aggressive you should be because there's fewer
23:10people to split it with.
23:11Yes, indeed.
23:12The £7,000, Wendy, the chase is on.
23:21Here comes your first question.
23:23Which of these horse races takes place latest in the year?
23:29Is it A, the Epsom Derby, B, the Cheltenham Gold Cup, or C, Grand National?
23:36You've put...
23:36You've put...
23:38The Cheltenham Gold Cup.
23:41Is that a guess?
23:41It is.
23:42Right.
23:43Right.
23:43Correct answer is...
23:44Unlucky.
23:48Epsom Derby.
23:49Staying where you are.
23:50The chaser has put...
23:53Yes, the Epsom Derby.
23:54Epsom Derby in June, Cheltenham Gold Cup in March, and the Grand National normally in April sometime.
24:00Well, thank you very much.
24:02Here's your next question.
24:05London Zoo is in which park?
24:08A, St James's Park, B, Regent's Park, or C, Green Park?
24:13You've put...
24:15Yeah, Regent's Park.
24:16Happy with that?
24:17Yeah.
24:18Good.
24:18Correct answer is...
24:20Well done.
24:22Step close to home.
24:23Confidence builder.
24:24The chaser has put...
24:24Also Regent's Park.
24:28Very good.
24:29Here's your next question.
24:31Which of these film directors has not been awarded a knighthood?
24:37A, Alfred Hitchcock, B, Ridley Scott, C, Mike Lee?
24:45You've put...
24:47Ridley Scott.
24:49Yeah.
24:50Yeah.
24:51Do you know your films?
24:52I did films today at the university.
24:54A, and do you know this?
24:57No.
24:57Well, it's not A.
24:59I wasn't sure between the other two.
25:01I didn't know any of them had.
25:05Correct answer is...
25:07Mike Lee.
25:10Stay where you are.
25:11The chaser has put.
25:16Oh, got it wrong.
25:18Well, I'm a bit worried because I thought exactly the same as you.
25:20I didn't think any of them had got a knighthood.
25:22No, that's...
25:23And I'm always scared when my knowledge is the same as yours.
25:28Here's the next question.
25:31Which film star gave her name to an inflatable life jacket?
25:35Was it A, Mae West, B, Jane Mansfield, or C, Marilyn Monroe?
25:39So, you have put Mae West.
25:45Happy with that?
25:46Happy with that.
25:47Good.
25:47Correct answer is...
25:49Yeah, Mae West, indeed.
25:52Well done.
25:52The chaser has put...
25:54Also Mae West.
25:56It remains in a couple of steps, you mind you.
25:58Here's the next question.
25:59Which of these artists painted over 60 self-portraits from 1629 to 1669?
26:08A, Rembrandt.
26:10B, Vermeer.
26:11C, Van Dyke.
26:12You put...
26:17Vermeer.
26:19You know this?
26:20When in doubt, go for B.
26:21These are you guessing all the way?
26:23No, not every question.
26:24I know some of them.
26:26Right.
26:27Very self-obsessed.
26:28You're going to paint 60 self-portraits.
26:30Correct answer is...
26:31Rembrandt.
26:35Stay where you are, the chaser has put.
26:39Yes, and he's now just that one step behind.
26:43Right, Wendy, don't have to tell you, we're in a bit of trouble.
26:47He's right there, breathing down our neck.
26:49Let's get away, shall we?
26:50We will.
26:51Here's your next question.
26:54In which American state was Elvis Presley born?
26:57A, Mississippi.
26:58B, Minnesota.
27:00C, Montana.
27:01I'm trying to remember, I can't remember.
27:11You've put...
27:12Minnesota.
27:14Yeah.
27:15You happy with that?
27:16B has to be right soon, surely.
27:19Is that the way you're doing it?
27:21Is B the correct answer?
27:29Mississippi.
27:30Mississippi.
27:30Stay where you are.
27:32Now, if the chaser's got this right, you're going home to Midgar Morgan.
27:37If he gets it wrong, you're staying in the game.
27:39I wish you luck.
27:40Shall we find out what he's put?
27:42Yeah.
27:43We'll find out after the break.
27:49Welcome back.
27:50Now, Wendy is just one wrong answer away from going home before the break.
27:57I asked her, in which American state was Elvis Presley born?
28:01Wendy did get it wrong.
28:02She put Minnesota.
28:04If the chaser's got it right, Wendy is gone.
28:08What do you think?
28:11He's a clever guy, you know?
28:13But he's got one wrong before, so...
28:16You're hoping?
28:17I'm still in with a chance.
28:18To stay in the game, this has got to be wrong.
28:19The chaser has put...
28:20Yes, the chaser has put Mississippi.
28:31I'm trying to think what would be the most appropriate Elvis Presley song.
28:34Heartbreak Hotel might seem appropriate, but I guess Return to Sender is better.
28:38Indeed.
28:38So, goodbye.
28:39Return to Sender it is.
28:40Wendy, you have been caught in view.
28:41The chase is over.
28:43Bye-bye.
28:47Last to face the chaser is Carolyn.
28:50Welcome.
28:54Hello.
28:54So, you're from Oldham.
28:56I am.
28:56And you're a police HR assistant.

28:59What do you do for your hobbies?
29:00I work at the City Art Gallery in Manchester.
29:03I collect 60s and 70s Port Merriam pottery.

29:09You like beer?
29:10I do.
29:11Real ale?
29:12Real ale.
29:12Fully paid up member of camera.
29:14And what's your favourite ale?
29:16My favourite ale is London Brew and it's Mean Time.
29:20But unfortunately, it's a Mean Time wheat beer, so it's not a generic English beer as such.
29:26I like your style.
29:27That's nice.
29:28So, let's see how we get on.
29:29I wish you luck, Carolyn.
29:31Quickfire questions against the clock.
29:33Your time starts now.
29:35Who's the first athlete to break the four-minute barrier for the mile?

30:40However, £7,000 Carolyn, that is not bad at all.
30:43I think you've got half a chance here.
30:45You reckon?
30:46Yeah, I reckon you have.
30:47Excellent.
30:47Let's bring on the chaser.
30:48Good afternoon, Carolyn.
31:02Good afternoon, Mark.
31:03Well, the bad news is you're all on your own.
31:07The good news is you don't have to share this with anybody.
31:11Mmm.
31:11Think of the glory if you beat me.
31:13It isn't going to happen, but think of the glory.
31:15Let's put some money on the table.
31:17See how the offers go.
31:18There's your £7,000 three steps ahead of the chaser.
31:20If you want to take a step closer to home, the chaser will offer you...
31:23I'd advise you to seriously consider £2,000.
31:27Mmm.
31:28However, if you want to take a step closer to the chaser, he will offer you...
31:31I'd advise you to really seriously consider £20,000 all for yourself.
31:37That is very tempting.
31:39I'm going to go for it.
31:40I'm going to go for the £20,000.
31:42Excellent.
31:43You are?
31:44Yep.
31:44I mean, some of the questions have been pretty hard, but some of them have been quite gettable,
31:48so it's a 50-50 which type of question I get anyway.
31:51And it's one in three chance, so, yeah, I'll give it a go.
31:55Wow.
31:56£20,000 it is.
31:57I respect anyone who thinks clearly, especially in a situation like this, so well played.
32:02Good luck, girl.
32:03Let's get this money back to Oldham, shall we?
32:05For £20,000, the chase is on.
32:13Good luck to you.
32:14Here comes the first question.
32:17Which country provides the setting for Alexander McCall Smith's novels about the number one ladies' detective agency?
32:24A, Zambia, B, Kenya, C, Botswana.
32:31You've put Botswana.
32:34You read these books?
32:36I haven't read them, but I saw them on TV.
32:38And you know this?
32:39I do.
32:40Correct answer is...
32:42It is indeed Botswana, up and running already.
32:46The chaser has put...
32:48Please be wrong.
32:49Snap.
32:55Here's the next question.
32:58The company, Stanley Gibbons, specialises in supplying items for which hobby?
33:04A, photography, B, metal detecting, C, stamp collecting.
33:10You've put...
33:12Stamp collecting.
33:14Mm-hmm.
33:15You know this as well?
33:16Yep.
33:16I used to collect stamps when I was younger.
33:20Correct answer is...
33:23Oh, come on, bring it on.
33:26The chaser has put...
33:28Mm.
33:30Two nice standard questions for you.
33:32Not bad.
33:33Let's hope they get a little bit harder soon.
33:35Here's the next question.
33:35What was the name of the character played by Michael Richards in Seinfeld?
33:44A, Kramer, B, Newman, C, George.
33:50You've put...
33:52Kramer.
33:55Happy with that one as well?
33:56That's a guess.
33:57Is it?
33:57I never watched it.
33:58It was on for a long time, but I never caught it.
34:00Correct answer is...
34:04Great guess.
34:07The chaser has put...
34:09Also, Kramer.
34:12Here's your next question.
34:15Which group of people might belong to the NUT?
34:19T, A, technicians, B, teachers, C, tailors.
34:25You've put...
34:27Teachers, happy with that?
34:30I am happy, but I know we'll get it.
34:32Correct answer is...
34:35There's teachers.
34:37It's two steps from home.
34:38The chaser, who is, by the way, a teacher, has put...
34:41These are breaking very nicely for you, but it just goes to show...
34:47Have some courage sometime.
34:49The payoff is nearly always worth it.
34:51Yes.
34:51Except when I catch you, of course.
34:53Here's the next question.
34:55In The Witches of Eastwick, the witches are played by Cher, Susan Sarandon, and which other actress?
35:03Is it?
35:03A, Michelle Pfeiffer.
35:05B, Jodie Foster.
35:06C, Sharon Stone.
35:07You have put...
35:11Michelle Pfeiffer.
35:13Yep.
35:13Happy with that?
35:14Absolutely.
35:16Correct answer is...
35:19Absolutely, one step from home.
35:22Very, very good.
35:24The chaser has put...
35:26Yes, Michelle Pfeiffer.
35:29Now, we can afford to get one wrong.
35:32We don't want to do that.
35:33We want to get it out straight away.
35:35Here's the next question.
35:37Which footballer married one of the Beverley sisters?
35:41A, Tom Finney.
35:42B, Danny Blanchflower.
35:44C, Billy Wright.
35:50You have put...
35:51Billy Wright.
35:54You happy with that?
35:55I know it wasn't Tom Finney.
35:57I'm not sure about Danny Blanchflower.
35:59Billy Wright, not so certain, but I thought I'd take a pun on it.
36:02If Billy Wright is right, you're through with £20,000 and into the final chase.
36:08Correct answer is...
36:10Get in.
36:14Well done, Carolyn.
36:16Well played.
36:17Well played.
36:18Well played you, mate.
36:19Well played.
36:20Not many people get 100% right on a long chase, so excellent play, ma'am.
36:25And I'm looking forward to the rematch and the final chase.
36:27I think this could be vaguely interesting.
36:30Carolyn, £20,000.
36:31Go and take your seat in the final chase.
36:33Very, very competent.
36:39Still advantage me, but I think she could set me an interesting target.
36:42Oh, don't go away, because Carolyn has made it through to the final chase on her own with
36:48a total price fund of £20,000.
36:51Can she take the money home?
36:53Find out after the break.
36:57Oh, welcome back.
36:58I'm looking forward to this.
37:00Carolyn has made it through to the final chase.
37:02There's £20,000 in the prize fund.
37:05Now, against the clock, Carolyn must answer as many questions as she can.
37:10Each right answer, taking her a step further away from the chaser.
37:13Then the chaser will have the same amount of time to try and catch her.
37:16If he does, of course, she leaves with nothing.
37:17However, if he doesn't, Carolyn goes home with £20,000.
37:22Listen, £20,000 is a lot of money.
37:24What would you do with it?
37:26Oh, well, I've recently got engaged so I could afford to get married.
37:29But, ideally, I'd like to open a beer, sausage and chocolate shop.
37:36You would?
37:37Yep.
37:38That's the three beautiful things in my life.
37:40Beer, sausages and chocolate.
37:42It's not bad, is it?
37:43It's a great combination.
37:45There's only you, of course, that have made it through to the final chase.
37:48Carolyn, so you get one step head start on the chaser.
37:51I wish you luck.
37:53Your time starts now.
37:55Who is Peter Pan's fairy friend?
