00:00These four people have never met before, but by working as a team, they have the chance to win thousands of pounds.
00:06There's just one thing standing in their way.
00:08The Chaser.
00:10The Chase is on.
00:19Hello and welcome to The Chase.
00:21Today'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.
00:28Well, do they?
00:29Let's find out and meet the team.
00:31I'm Brenda.
00:32I'm 62.
00:34I have just retired from the National Trust and I live in Kent.
00:38I'm Paul.
00:39I'm 41 years old.
00:41I am a support worker from Cumbria.
00:43I'm Toby.
00:44I'm a 21-year-old law student from Cleveland.
00:48I'm Amanda.
00:49I'm 44.
00:50I'm a martial arts instructor from Wigan.
00:53Now then, one by one, they'll bring as much money as they can down the board and into the team prize fund.
00:59But, as always, hunting them down every step of the way is The Chaser.
01:03Anyone who gets caught, loses their money and is out of the game.
01:05Make it back safely, though, and they will go through to the final chase with a chance to win an equal share of the total prize fund.
01:11And first to face The Chaser, it's Brenda.
01:17Hi, Brenda.
01:18Hello.
01:19Now, you work for the National Trust.
01:21Yes.
01:21Did you go out visiting all these places?
01:23No.
01:23We sold tickets, basically, and encouraged people to join the National Trust.
01:27But make sure they had a good visit with us.
01:29Do you have a competitive streak?
01:31Oh, yes.
01:31You do?
01:32I do.
01:33All right.
01:33Well, first of all, let's build some money up here to take to the table, shall we?
01:37Yes, please.
01:37In the old cash builder.
01:38All you have to do is answer questions correctly against the clock.
01:41Each correct answer gives you £1,000.
01:43Are you ready?
01:44Yep.
01:44I wish you luck.
01:45Your time starts now.
01:48The lowest wage an employer is permitted to pay by law is called what?
01:52Minimum wage.
01:53Correct.
01:53In Greek myth, who fell in love with his own reflection?
01:56Narcissus.
01:56Correct.
01:57Dizzy, Scoop and Muck are friends with which kid's TV character?
02:01Pass.
02:01It's Bob the Builder.
02:02What's the term for a woman's family name before she marries?
02:06Maiden.
02:07Correct.
02:08What country is known in French as Ecos?
02:11Scotland.
02:12Correct.
02:12In Portugal, what fish is dried and salted to make a bacalao?
02:17Herring.
02:18It's cod.
02:19What genre of films are The Searchers and High Noon?
02:22Cowboy.
02:23I'll give you that.
02:24The westerns.
02:25What US heavy metal band was founded by Tommy Lee and Nikki Sixx?
02:29Pass.
02:30Motley Crue.
02:31Carla Borrego and Maddie Magellan have assisted which TV amateur detective?
02:38Heddy Wainwright.
02:39No, it's Jonathan Creek.
02:40What insects spread buponic plague during the Black Death?
02:44Flea's.
02:45Correct.
02:46Basil Spence designed the rebuilding of what Midlands Cathedral?
02:49Covently.
02:50I think we're just out of time.
02:52However, you've got £6,000, Brenda.
02:54Great.
02:54That's all right.
02:55Great start.
02:56Team are very happy with that.
02:57All we've got to do now, Brenda, is get you and that £6,000 into the final chase.
03:03You're going to have to face a chaser.
03:04But who, Brenda, will you be up against today?
03:08Will it be barrister Sean Wallace?
03:11He'll lull you into a full sense of excitement.
03:14Or will it be Anne Hegarty, the governess?
03:18There she is.
03:19She could do Beauty and the Beast as a one-woman show.
03:23Talking of beasts, will it be Mark Labette?
03:27He's a man with a huge following.
03:29My mistake.
03:30That's his reflection.
03:31So, it's time to bring on the chaser.
03:38Oh, he fills the studio.
03:42It is the beast.
03:44Mark Labette.
03:46Good afternoon, Brenda.
03:47Hello.
03:48And good afternoon, Bradley.
03:49Sir.
03:50Despite that comment about my reflection,
03:52I'm down to a svelte 23 and a half stone now.
03:55A svelte.
03:56A mere shadow of the man I once was.
03:59I think this could be an interesting match.
04:00So, I'm a bit worried about this team
04:01because it's quite a wide range of ages and background.
04:05So, I think the more I demolish now,
04:07the easier it's going to be for me in the final chase.
04:09We shall see.
04:10There you are on the starting grid, so to speak.
04:12Three steps ahead of our chaser.
04:14If you wish to take a step closer to home,
04:16the chaser will offer you...
04:17A derisory £1,000.
04:20£1,000.
04:20However, if you want to take a step closer to the chaser
04:23and try and take him on, he will offer you...
04:25Let's see how competitive you really are.
04:27£20,000.
04:28Brenda, you've got to have a chat with your team.
04:33What do you think?
04:34I think you can take him on.
04:36I would go for it.
04:38I'd like you over here as well.
04:40I'd play safe.
04:41We really need all the brains back here,
04:43so stick on the £6,000.
04:45I think you can do it.
04:47Give him a good run for his money.
04:49Thank you, team.
04:51So, Brenda, what'll it be?
04:52I'll stay on the £6,000, thank you.
04:55Right.
04:56For £6,000, Brenda, the chase is on.
05:03Good luck.
05:04Here comes your first question.
05:06Which Australian expat had a cameo as a postman in Neighbours in 1996?
05:13Was it A, Rolf Harris, B, Barry Humphreys, or C, Clive James?
05:21You put...
05:22Barry Humphreys.
05:25Hmm.
05:25You a Neighbours fan, or is this a guess?
05:26I've never seen it.
05:28Hmm.
05:29Right.
05:29The correct answer is...
05:31Clive James.
05:33I really said Clive James.
05:34Was Clive James your first thought?
05:36Yes.
05:37Oh, there they...
05:37What is it we always say, Bradley?
05:39There is a rule that the chasers always say,
05:40go with your gut instinct,
05:41because subconsciously you may have heard it somewhere.
05:43That's why you've got the gut instinct.
05:45However, will the chaser close the gap?
05:47The chaser has put...
05:50Clive James, and comes onto the table.
05:53It was a blink and you miss it, walk on part.
05:55Right.
05:55Here's your next question.
05:58What is international football's oldest running competition?
06:02Is it A, Copa America?
06:04Is it B, European Championships?
06:07Or C, World Cup?
06:13Hmm.
06:14Thoughtful look there from the beast.
06:16However, Brenda, you have put...
06:19Copa America.
06:21Two worst subjects, television and football.
06:24Correct answer is...
06:26Well done.
06:28What a guess.
06:30The chaser has put...
06:31Get in there.
06:36Got it back.
06:37You clawed that space back.
06:38Great stuff.
06:39Yeah, Sean would know that, of course, being the expert on football.
06:41Obviously, the World Cup was first played in Uruguay in 1930,
06:44and should have realised how fanatical those South Americans are about their football.
06:47Yes, indeed.
06:49Here comes your next question.
06:51Which of these capital cities is on the same line of latitude as Ankara in Turkey?
06:58Is it A, London, B, Moscow, or C, Beijing?
07:02Right, you pressed your button very quickly.
07:08Now, this was either a mad guess in a fit of pique, or you know exactly what you're doing.
07:13A mad guess, and because the chaser didn't answer immediately, I thought I'd try and put him under pressure.
07:18Great stuff.
07:19You have put...
07:21Moscow.
07:21I'm sure China's more north, and I think it could be London, but we'll see.
07:30Correct answer is...
07:32Beijing.
07:35Meaning you'll stay where you are.
07:36The chaser's put...
07:39Yeah, Beijing.
07:41Moscow's about 55 degrees latitude, London's about 51.
07:45Ankara's down in the 30s, I thought. It's down below Athens.
07:49Yeah.
07:50So, logically, it had to be that one.
07:51It had to be Beijing. Well worked out, sir. Well worked out, indeed.
07:55Here's your next question.
07:57What is the title of Katie Price's 2009 novel?
08:02Is it A, Ruby, B, Diamond, C, Sapphire?
08:07I'm sorry, I just don't care about this.
08:11You put...
08:15Diamond.
08:17Girl's best friend.
08:18And why not? That is probably the title of the novel.
08:21Correct answer is...
08:24Oh, it's Sapphire. Unlucky staying where we are.
08:27The chaser's put...
08:30Sapphire got it right.
08:32It's not often I say this, but I'm sorry. I flipped that.
08:36You've got to stay where you are, and now the chaser has caught up.
08:39We've got to start getting them right, Brenda. Come on, girl, we can do it.
08:43Here's your next question.
08:46If an animal is described as a pinniped, what distinguishing feature does it have?
08:53A, flippers, B, hooves, or C, claws?
08:57You've put...
09:01Flippers.
09:03Yeah, not hooves.
09:05No.
09:06Let's look, shall we?
09:07Correct answer is...
09:09Well played.
09:11Step closer to home, that's good news.
09:13I can't see him getting it wrong.
09:14The chaser is put...
09:15Indeed, and remains are one step behind.
09:20Seals are pinnipeds, and hooves are ungulates, and I've no idea what claws are.
09:25Santas.
09:27You're on form today.
09:29Here's your next question.
09:32That's all, folks.
09:33Is the self-penned epitaph on whose gravestone?
09:36Is it A, Fritz Freling, B, Chuck Jones, or C, Mel Blanc?
09:46You put...
09:47Chuck Jones.
09:51Not sure.
09:53Correct answer is...
09:56It's Mel Blanc.
09:58He's caught me.
09:59Not yet.
10:00He'll know that.
10:01Got to stay where we are.
10:03We need the chaser to be wrong for you to stay in the game.
10:05The chaser has put...
10:09Mel Blanc.
10:12Well done.
10:13Chaser.
10:14You played pretty well, and it's not often I do this, but I'm really sorry for fluking that Katie Price answer.
10:21I think I'd have still got you anyway, but I always feel guilty about winning on a fluke.
10:25That's very big of you, sir, and you can't get much bigger.
10:28You can't, but then that's the nicest I'm going to be this evening.
10:31Indeed.
10:32Brenda, I have to say, you have been caught, and for you, the chase is over.
10:35Thank you very much.
10:36See you soon.
10:37Bye-bye.
10:41One down, three to go.
10:44Is Paul ready to face the chaser?
10:46Find out after the break.
10:49Welcome back.
10:50Next to face the chaser, it's Paul.
10:52Hi, Bradley.
10:53How are you doing?
10:53I'm very good.
10:54You?
10:54Good.
10:54Yeah, not so bad.
10:55Yeah, a support worker.
10:56I am indeed, yes.
10:57What does that involve?
10:59I work with people with learning disabilities in Cumbria, adults.
11:03Oh, brilliant.
11:03It's fantastic fun.
11:05Yeah, I bet it is.
11:06Good challenge.
11:06All right, and do you do quizzes and stuff?
11:08Absolutely love quizzes.
11:10I do a quiz most weeks at my local.
11:12Enjoy the social side of it.
11:13We win on quite a few occasions.
11:16They're sick of the sight of us, to be honest.
11:17Oh, good.
11:18I'm looking forward to this challenge.
11:20Right then.
11:21Questions against the clock?

12:35Team are very happy with that.
12:36Brilliant stuff.

12:37Nine grand.
12:37That's not bad.
12:38Quite happy with that.
12:39Let's get you and it through to the final chase, shall we?
12:41Let's hope so.
12:42Right.
12:42It's time to face the chaser.
12:44That's brilliant.
12:44Good afternoon, Paul.
12:57Good afternoon, Mark.
12:58So you're the local pub quiz bully then, are you?
13:00Well, some could see it that way.
13:02I just think I'm competitive.
13:04Oh, good.
13:04I like a competitive player.
13:06So do I.
13:07Okay.
13:08Put some money on the table first.
13:09Nine grand.
13:10There it is.
13:11If you want to take a step closer to home, the chaser will offer you.
13:14If you're a complete hypocrite, £3,000.
13:17Three grand, which is still a lot of money, by the way.
13:19However, if you want to take a step closer to home and take him on, the chaser will offer you.
13:23If you want to walk the walk, £27,000.
13:26£27,000.
13:27That's impressive.
13:28Have a chat to your team, Paul.
13:29All right, guys.
13:32Well, losing Brendan the last round was a bit of a shocker, but I have every confidence you'll
13:38manage to take down the beast.
13:40Go for the top one.
13:42Definitely go for the top.
13:44Definitely.
13:44You can do it.
13:45Go for it.
13:46Bring him down.
13:47Oh, please.
13:48Thank you, team.
13:49Great gang-out over there in the corner.
13:52Paul, it is your decision, ultimately.
13:54It is indeed.
13:55As tempting as 27 is, he's doing it there.
14:01Three.
14:01Don't think so, somehow.
14:03I'm going to stick with the nine.
14:04I want to get through, Mark.
14:06Sorry.
14:07You'll never be able to hold your head up in that pub again.
14:10They'll now be convinced you're completing that a chicken.
14:12Right.
14:13Nine grand it is.
14:14Are you ready, Paul?
14:14I am.
14:15The chase is on.
14:21Good luck, mate.
14:22Here comes your first question.
14:25Which of these historical events happened most recently?
14:28Is it A, Great Fire of London, B, the English Civil War, or C, the Gunpowder Plot?
14:36You've put...
14:38The Gunpowder Plot.
14:40Happy with that?
14:41Very happy with that, Bradley.
14:421605.
14:43Cool.
14:44I love it when they come out of the dates as well.
14:47The correct answer is...
14:49Great Fire of London.
14:52Ouch.
14:53Staying where you are.
14:55Now then, you are dealing with one of the masters of dates.
14:59The beast has put.
15:04Indeed, the Great Fire of London comes immediately onto the table.
15:07Most recently, so the newest one.
15:09Most recently.
15:10Of course, 1666.
15:12You may know your dates, but I suggest you check your prescription.
15:15Take no notice.
15:16Don't let them intimidate you, Paul.
15:17I'm not.
15:17Next question on its way.
15:19Which of these actors has not portrayed President Nixon on the big screen?
15:27A, Anthony Hopkins.
15:29B, Frank Langella.
15:31Or C, Martin Sheen.
15:33You put.
15:39Frank Langella.
15:41Knew Anthony Hopkins had.
15:44It's a bit of a guess between the other two, I have to say.
15:46All right, the correct answer is Martin Sheen.
15:52Ouch.
15:53Ouch, indeed.
15:54All right, got to stay where you're again.
15:56Loves his films.
15:57The Chaser has put.
16:01Yes, Martin Sheen is one step behind now.
16:05Here comes your next question.
16:06In Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, which birds are used as mallets in a game of croquet?
16:14Is it A, flamingos, B, swans, or C, pelicans?
16:20Right, you have put flamingos.
16:24Happy with that?
16:25Yeah, fairly happy with that, I have to say.
16:27Yeah, good man.
16:28Correct answer is.
16:30Brilliant stuff.
16:31Step close to the home.
16:32That's good news.
16:33You know, this is a gentleman who doesn't do culture, but these type of books, he's going
16:39to know this stuff, right?
16:40He does Katie Price.
16:41He's read that, obviously.
16:42Oh, you know, I don't want to know.
16:45The Chaser's put.
16:47Yeah, he knows his stuff.
16:49It's a Disney film and I have nieces.
16:52Flamingos, the Disney film, of course.
16:54Here's your next question.
16:56In The Fast Show, who played Louis Balfour, the host of Jazz Club?
17:02Is it A?
17:03John Thompson, B, or White House, or C, Simon Day?
17:10You've put.
17:12John Thompson.
17:13Happy with that?
17:14Yeah, I love the programme, fantastic.
17:16I just pictured him doing it.
17:18Nice.
17:19Nice.
17:20Correct answer is.
17:26Great John Thompson.
17:27Brilliant.
17:28Step closer to home.
17:30The Chaser has put.
17:34Also, yes, gets it right with John Thompson.
17:36All right, here's your next question.
17:38Which cheese takes its name from the Italian for to chop or cut off?
17:46Is it A, Pecorino, B, Mozzarella, C, Ricotta?
17:52You've put.
17:57Ricotta.
17:58Happy with that?
17:59Eh, quietly confident.
18:01Good.
18:02Correct answer is.
18:05It's Mozzarella.
18:06It's Mozzarella.
18:07Ouch.
18:08Now, if he's right, you're out of the game.
18:12Is he going to know this, though?
18:14The Chaser has put.
18:19You've got it wrong with Pecorino.
18:21Come on, you know food and drinks, my Achilles heel.
18:24I knew it wasn't Ricotta and picked the wrong one.
18:26Never mind, I'll get him next time.
18:28We shall see.
18:29Mm-hmm, indeed.
18:31Here's your next question.
18:34Which of these Kylie Minogue hits was not written by Stock, Aitken and Waterman?
18:40Is it A, Locomotion, B, I should be so lucky, or C, Hand on your heart?
18:49You've put.
18:50The Locomotion.
18:52Well, I think it's a cover version.
18:56I should be so lucky it was one of her early ones, so was Hand on your heart, and fairly
18:59certain they wrote them to.
19:01Mm.
19:02However, to stay in the game, we need it to be right.
19:04The correct answer is.
19:07Yep, the Locomotion.
19:09Two steps from home.
19:10That is great news.
19:11There we go.
19:12The Chaser has put.
19:16Fellow Kylie fan.
19:17Fellow Kylie fan.
19:18Here's your next question.
19:19Good luck.
19:21Which of these cities holds an annual international balloon fiesta?
19:26Is it A, Bristol, B, Brighton, or C, Birmingham?
19:31You've put Bristol.
19:37Guess?
19:38It is a guess, I'll say that.
19:41Correct answer is to stay in the game.
19:46Well played.
19:48Fantastic.
19:48One step from home.
19:49The Chaser has put.
19:54Oh, so Bristol.
19:55Living in Newport, you often see them in the air there as they come across the Bristol Channel.
19:59It's a beautiful sight.
20:00Well, this is going to be your last question.
20:03We just need you to get this question correct, all right?
20:06Nauru achieved independence in 1968, having previously been administered by which country?
20:16A, France.
20:17B, Italy.
20:19Or C, Australia.
20:21This is tough.
20:25You have put.
20:28Australia.
20:28Is this a guess?
20:30I ruled out Italy straight away because I don't think they held many territories.
20:34I think it's in the South Pacific.
20:37France did have a few.
20:38French Polynesia.
20:39But I think it's close to Australia.
20:42Well, I hope it's right, mate.
20:43I really do.
20:44Now, to go through with nine grand, fingers crossed, the correct answer is...
20:51Yes!
20:52Get in there.
20:53Well done, mate.
20:54Put it in there.
20:54Brilliant, Matt.
20:56Brilliant.
20:56What a chase that was.
20:58Pepporino and mozzarella.
20:59I'll get the next one.
21:01Well played.
21:02Go and take your seat in the final chase.
21:05Brilliant stuff.
21:06Slip through your fingers there, mate.
21:08However, next to face the chaser is the youngest member of our team.
21:12It's Toby.
21:14Welcome, Toby.

22:52That's great.
22:52Yeah, it is great.
22:53All we've got to do now is get you and that money through to the final chase alongside Paul.
22:57Are you ready?
22:58Ready as I'll ever be.
22:59Indeed.
22:59It's time to face the chaser.
23:01Good afternoon, Toby.
23:14Good afternoon.
23:15Good steely gaze, or is that paralysed with fear?
23:18I'm not quite sure.
23:20A good lawyer must have a good stare to outwit the opponent.
23:24Ah, a bit of Sun Tzu.
23:25I'm impressed.
23:26Yeah, I like it.
23:27Toby, let's put your money on the table.
23:29We'll make three steps ahead of the chaser.
23:30There's your 6K.
23:32So, if you want to take a step closer to home, the chaser will offer you...
23:35After your last comments, £500.
23:38That'll teach you to be going, like, go for the, go for the, go for the.
23:40Right.
23:41If you want to take a step closer to the chaser, he will offer you...
23:44You know I like to encourage education.
23:47£35,000.
23:49Now, think how much of your student debt that would clear,
23:52and where else are you going to get an offer like that?
23:55Oh, my goodness.
23:56It's great.
23:57I love it.
23:58Okay, Toby, have a chat, mate, with a Mahenda and Paul.
24:00What should I do?
24:02Toby, that is an incredible amount of money,
24:04but I want you over this side with me.
24:07Amanda?
24:08It is a brilliant amount of money, mate.
24:09It really, really is, but we need you back here.
24:12Thanks, guys.
24:12So...
24:13Let me repeat myself, Toby.
24:15Where else are you going to be offered £35,000 with a two-question head start?
24:22And you know those two are way too chicken to do it.
24:24Give him a chance.
24:25For goodness sake.
24:26It would wipe the slate clean completely.
24:29Uh-huh.
24:30But I've always been level-headed.
24:32I will play safe.
24:33I will go for the six grand.
24:35Right.
24:36A prudent student.
24:37That's what you need.
24:38Toby, are you ready?
24:39Let's rock and roll.
24:41For six grand, the chase is on.
24:47Here comes your first question.
24:49Good luck, mate.
24:49I'm with you all the way.
24:53Who played Beverley in the original TV version of Abigail's Party?
24:59Was it A, Alison Stedman, B, Helen Mirren, or C, Imelda Staunton?
25:09You've put.
25:12Imelda Staunton.
25:13Many, many years before you were born this.
25:15So, go ahead, mate.
25:16I can only take a guess.
25:17I think I can link Staunton to this.
25:21I might have read it on Wikipedia somewhere.
25:23Right.
25:24Correct answer is...
25:27The Ali Stedman.
25:29You've got to stay where you are.
25:30Don't worry.
25:30Don't worry.
25:31Early days yet.
25:32The chase has put.
25:35Yes, Alison Stedman.
25:37Fine actress.
25:38Wonderful.
25:39Here's your next question.
25:40Which Japanese motor company makes the Alto car?
25:45Is it A, Nissan, B, Suzuki, or C, Toyota?
25:49You've put.
25:53Suzuki.
25:55I'm a petrol head, so hopefully I won't get this one wrong.
25:58Yeah.
25:59You've put Suzuki.
26:00Correct answer is...
26:00Very good.
26:03Step closer to the home.
26:04The chase has put.
26:07Suzuki as well.
26:08Remains the two steps behind.
26:10It's very good.
26:11Here's the next question.
26:13Which Muppet character plays the drums?
26:16Is it A, Rolf, B, Bunsen Honeydew, or C, Animal?
26:22You've put Animal.
26:25Big Muppet fan?
26:27Not really, but I'm pretty sure he's based on a certain real-life drummer.
26:32Yeah, probably.
26:34Correct answer is...
26:36It is indeed Animal.
26:37Step close to home.
26:39The chase has put.
26:43Animal also remains the two steps behind.
26:45Here's your next question.
26:48What was the name of Winston Churchill's father?
26:52A, Randolph, B, Roderick, or C, Rupert?
26:58You've put.

27:02Going back to my history classes, which I liked,
27:05I think I'm pretty confident on this one.
27:08Yeah.
27:09Correct answer is...
27:11Brilliant.
27:12Yes.
27:13Good man.

27:28Is it A, Italian, B, Spanish, or C, French?
27:37You've put.
27:39Spanish.
27:39Happy with that?
27:40Yeah.
27:41An Italian friend who corrected me on Merry Christmas once.
27:46So, if she's watching, then she'll be dead proud of me, I guess.
27:51Oh, good.
27:51All right.
27:52The correct answer is...
27:55Spanish.
27:56Well played, sir.
27:57Well played.
27:57One step from home.
27:58It's great.
27:59The chase has put.
28:00Also Spanish.
28:03Remaining the two steps behind.
28:05French, is it?
28:06Joyeux Noël.
28:07You're very good with languages.
28:07Yeah, Joyeux Noël.
28:08What's Italian?

28:21Was it A, Inspector Clouseau, B, Columbo, or C, Dick Tracy?
28:30You've put.
28:32Inspector Clouseau.
28:34Gut feeling, again, this way, that way, I don't know.
28:39If he's right, you're six grand, you're through to the final chase.
28:42Is it Inspector Clouseau?
28:44We'll find out after the break.
28:51Ah, welcome back.
28:52Toby here, the law student.
28:54Is one correct answer away from going through to the final chase with £6,000 before the break?
28:59I asked him which fictional detective was created by Chester Gould.
29:03Now, Toby said it was Inspector Clouseau.
29:05If that's the correct answer, we're through.
29:08The correct answer is...
29:12Dick Tracy.
29:14Oh, that was a gut answer.
29:16Oh, Toby.
29:17Gut instinct.
29:18You must go with that.
29:20All right, we've got to stay where we are.
29:22Don't worry.
29:23He may have got it wrong.
29:24The chaser has put...
29:26Oh, boy, he's got it right.
29:30One pace behind us.
29:32This is crucial.
29:34Which Scottish golf course has holes called Turnbury, postage stamp, and the railway?
29:42Is it A, St Andrews, B, Muirfield, or C, Royal Troon?
29:50Bradley would know the answer to this.
29:51I do indeed.
29:52You have put...
29:54You have put St Andrews, your golfer.
30:01Not in the slightest, no.
30:03No.
30:04Okay.
30:05This has got to be right to get you through, Toby.
30:07The correct answer is...
30:12It's Royal Troon.
30:13Oh, no.
30:14I'm sorry, mate.
30:15It's Royal Troon.
30:16So, if the chaser's wrong, we're still in.
30:21One more shell.
30:22If he's right, it's over.
30:24Yeah.
30:24Okay.
30:26The chaser has put.
30:30Yes, Royal Troon, indeed.
30:33I am so sorry.
30:34So, so sorry.
30:36Chaser?
30:37It's not often I feel sympathetic to a defeated contestant, but unlucky.
30:41But I'm afraid you're an object lesson.
30:43Go with your gut instinct.
30:45Yeah.
30:45Toby.
30:46Oh, man.
30:47Oh, man, indeed.
30:48You have been caught.
30:49And, Toby, for you, the chase is over.
30:51Thank you very much.
30:52Cheers, Toby.
30:55And now I've got the bravest member of the team to look forward to.
30:58Yes.
30:59Bring it on.

31:22Yes.
31:23Well, listen, he's a big bruiser, this lad.

33:11After some of your comments, £400.
33:15Ouch.
33:16And if you want to take a step closer to the chaser, he will offer you...
33:20£40,000.
33:22Oh, wow, wow, wow.
33:24Have a chat with Paul.
33:26Paul.
33:27That is an amazing amount of money.
33:28Just play it safe.
33:30Come back here.
33:31Yeah?
33:31Good luck.
33:33Go on.
33:33What do you think?
33:34It's a fantastic offer, but I'm going to have to go for the lower amount of the £400,
33:40please.
33:41Good pick, Amanda.
33:42You're going for the £400?
33:43I am.
33:44Yeah.
33:44Wow.
33:45Exactly the right thing to do.
33:46The £2,000 was just not worth playing for.
33:48Either go low or go high.
33:50Right.
33:51Amanda, I wish you luck.
33:52Thank you very much.
33:53For £400, the chase is on.

34:05Which TV soap features a Great Dane called Schmeichel?

35:05Two Steps From Home.
35:07Now then, the chaser has put.
35:10Yes, Danny Kaye also.
35:12Probably his best role, possibly.
35:13I think it was.
35:15I thought it was great.
35:16Here's the next question.

35:56Here's your next question.
35:59Which country banned comedians from making political jokes in the three-month run-up to
36:04its 2010 presidential election?
36:07Was it A, Russia, B, South Africa, or C, Brazil?
36:12You've put South Africa.
36:18I'm not 100% sure.
36:20Mm-hmm.
36:20Good guess, I think, that one.
36:23If it's South Africa, we're going through straight away and we're alongside Paul.
36:26Correct answer is?
36:28It's Brazil, staying where we are.
36:32The chaser has put.

37:34Is this another guess?
37:35It's a guess.
37:36Dear Amanda.
37:37I know.
37:38It's got to be right.
37:39It's got to be right, this.
37:40For £400 to go through.
37:42The correct answer is?
37:47Yes.
37:48Yes.
37:48Get in there.
37:53Oh, good chase.
37:56Not very good at answering questions, but good strategy.
37:59So I'll give you some applause for that.

38:02Thank you very much, Bradley.
38:03In the final chase.

38:15Find out after the break.
38:16Welcome back.
38:19Paul and Amanda have made it through to the final chase.
38:22There's £9,400 in the prize fund.
38:24Now, on the buzzer and against the clock, the team must answer as many questions as they can.
38:28Each right answer, of course, taking them a step further away from the chaser.
38:32Then, the chaser will have the same amount of time to try and catch the team.
38:36If he does, the team will go home with nothing.
38:38However, if he doesn't, they'll go home with an equal share of £9,400.
38:43It's £4,700 each.
38:44Two of you are through, so you get a two-step head start on our chaser.
38:49Good luck.
