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.
00:28Hmm, do they?
00:29Let's meet the team.
00:31I'm Tony, I'm 41, I'm a graphic designer from Liverpool.
00:34I'm Vicky, I'm 52, and I'm a kitchenware cook-along consultant from Warwickshire.
00:40I'm Donovan, I'm 28, and I'm a teaching assistant from Essex.
00:44I'm Niall, I'm 20, I'm an international relations student from Nottingham.
00:48And there they are.
00:49Now, one by one, they will try and bring as much money as they can down the table and into the team prize fund.
00:54But as always, hunting them down every step of the way is the chaser.
00:57Anyone who gets caught, loses their money, and is out of the game.
01:00Make it back safely, though.
01:02They will go through to the final chase with a chance to win an equal share of the total prize fund.
01:06And first to face the chaser, it's Tony.
01:08Welcome to the show.
01:13Thanks, Bradley.
01:14Graphic designer.
01:15I am, yes.
01:16Right, now, your favourite subjects, I guess, are going to be sort of art.
01:20Yeah.
01:20Yeah.
01:21You know, comics.
01:22Oh.
01:22I've got over 9,000 comics.
01:249,000?
01:269,000.
01:26And ranging from what?
01:27Are we talking Beano Dandy or are we talking Marvel comics and stuff like that?
01:30Superman, Batman, all that sort of stuff, to Batman, DC, yeah.
01:33Oh, brilliant.
01:34Right, fair enough.
01:35Well, I wish you luck with this.
01:36You have to build up as much money as you can in the cash builder.

02:46They were mixed doubles.
02:48Only 2,000 at the moment, but that's still not bad.
02:51It's not about this 2,000.
02:53It's about taking on the chaser and getting through to the final chase.
02:56You looking forward to it?
02:57Oh, yeah.
02:58Yeah.
02:58Got to go for it.
02:58Well, good, because it's time to face the chaser.
03:01But who will you be up against today?
03:03Will it be Anne Hegarty, the governess?
03:06But hang on, if she's here, who's throwing the shot put for the Russian Olympic team?
03:09Or will it be Sean Wallace?
03:12He's best described by that old adage, see no evil, speak no evil, have no fun.
03:18Or will it be the beast?
03:20There he is, Mark Lebet.
03:21He's a walking library, and clearly one with a very large canteen.
03:27So, who do you fancy taking on?
03:30I think I'd like Anne.
03:32You would?
03:32I think I could take her on, yeah.
03:33Yeah, well, it's time to bring on the chaser.
03:39Ooh, it is Anne.
03:42It's Frosty Nickers herself, the governess.
03:45It's Anne Hegarty.
03:46Hello, Tony.
03:50Hi, Anne.
03:51There does seem to be a lot you don't know, doesn't there?
03:54Do you really think Eton was a university?
03:56Hmm.
03:57How's your throat today, governess?
03:59The throat is fine, it's the larynx that's playing up.
04:02The larynx, yes.
04:03But I don't play with my larynx, I play with my brain.
04:06And that told me.
04:07Right, let's put some money on the table, Tony.
04:10There you are, there's your £2,000.
04:12If you wish to take a step closer to home, the chaser will offer you...
04:16£500.
04:18If you wish to take a step closer to the chaser, she will offer you...
04:21£10,000.
04:23It's very nice.
04:24Have a chat with your team.
04:28What do you think, guys?
04:29Well, you had some tough questions there, but these are multiple choice, remember, so one in three chance.
04:36I'd probably stick with the £2,000, to be perfectly honest with you.
04:38Yeah.
04:39Niall?
04:39I'd stick where you are, to be honest, mate.
04:42Thank you, team.
04:43Right, Tony, I will need a decision from you, though.
04:46Well, I think I'll have to stick on the £2,000, you know.
04:49It's best to put something in there to start off with.
04:51£2,000 it is.
04:54Chaser.
04:54Yes, I got the feeling that nobody there thought you could get the £10,000.
04:59I haven't got a lot of faith in you.
05:00Let's bring that money home, Tony, shall we?
05:02For £2,000, the chase is on.
05:05And good luck to you, mate.
05:11Here comes your first question.
05:16The name of which martial art means way of the sword?
05:20Is it A, Aikido, B, Karate, or C, Kendo?
05:26You put...
05:28Kendo.
05:29Happy with that?
05:30Yeah, I'm happy, yeah.
05:30Correct answer is...
05:33Yes, Kendo, a step close to home immediately.
05:36Very good start.
05:37The chaser has put...
05:40Also, Kendo, and comes immediately onto the table.
05:43We shall move on straight away to the next question.
05:45Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, The Phantom of the Opera, is based on a novel by who?
05:52Is it A, Jean Poirier, B, George Sand, or C, Gaston Leroux?
06:00You put...
06:02Jean Poirier.
06:03I didn't really have a clue on any of them, so I just went for the one that felt right to me.
06:07Fair enough.
06:08Correct answer is...
06:10And that's Gaston Leroux.
06:13Staying where you are, the chaser has put.
06:18And knew that immediately, and closes the gap.
06:21Yes, I've actually got a copy of it at home.
06:24Some better than the show, I think.
06:26Okay, here's the next question.
06:27The Italian island of Marano, in the Venice Lagoon, is famous for manufacturing what?
06:36A, glass, B, furniture, or C, gloves.
06:42You put...
06:44Glass.
06:45As far as known, Venice, there is a good glass industry going on there.
06:48Is there?
06:49As far as known.
06:49Have you ever been?
06:50No, I'd love to, though.
06:51Yeah, it's really nice.
06:52Lovely, lovely place.
06:53The correct answer is...
06:54Yes, well done.
06:57Another step to close the home.
06:59The chaser has put.
07:02Yes, the correct answer as well, which is glass.
07:06The problem with furniture is you'd have to move it around on large trucks.
07:10Yeah.
07:10And you can't really get large trucks into Venice.
07:12No, you can't indeed.
07:13Whereas the glass and bottles, you can just throw them into the canals, and they float and
07:16float away, which is fantastic.
07:19Here's your next question.
07:20Top of, for Monkey, and Hartley Hare, were puppet characters in which children's TV show?
07:29Was it A, Hexer's House, B, Pipkins, or C, Clopper Castle?
07:36You've put...
07:38Pipkins.
07:39Yeah, it takes me back to my childhood.
07:41I do remember this.
07:42Correct answer is...
07:45Yeah, Pipkins, and a step closer to home, and you guys remember it as well, no doubt.
07:48Yeah, yeah, let's see what the chaser's put.
07:54Yeah, the Pipkins.
07:55All right.
07:56And we'll move on to the next question.
07:58Doing well.
08:00Ida Arnold is the heroine of which Graham Greene novel?
08:06A, The End of the Affair.
08:08B, The Power and the Glory.
08:10C, Brighton Rock.
08:14You put...
08:16Brighton Rock.
08:18Complete guess, I'm afraid, just...
08:19Yeah.
08:20The correct answer is...
08:23Oh, well done.
08:25One step to go.
08:26The chaser has put...
08:29Oh, got it wrong.
08:32The End of the Affair she's put.
08:33Can't believe it.
08:34I remember that she's a waitress, but I couldn't remember her name.
08:37Good guess.
08:38Really good guess.
08:39Here's what I'm hoping is going to be your last question, Tony.
08:42Here it is.
08:42Which of these is not a flatfish?
08:49Is it A, Pollock.
08:50B, Flounder.
08:52C, Halibut.
08:57Yeah, tough.
08:58Yeah.
08:59You put...
09:00Flounder.
09:02I was hoping Kipper was going to come up.
09:04Do you know your fish?
09:05Not in the least, only, yeah.
09:06Put them on a plate and that's it.
09:07Some chips, yeah.
09:08Yeah.
09:08Correct answer is...
09:12It's Pollock.
09:14Oh, okay, got to stay where we are.
09:16The chaser has put.
09:20Yes, and closes that gap.
09:23Pollock is a sort of cod-like fish.
09:25They tend to sell it nowadays because they're so short of cod.
09:29Oh, there you are.
09:30Right, got to get out now, Tony.
09:32Here's the next question.
09:35Which African country is also known as Al-Maghrib?
09:39Is it A, Morocco.
09:40B, Mozambique.
09:42C, Mali.
09:45You put...
09:47Mozambique.
09:49Happy with that?
09:50Again, I mean, I had to go for what felt right.
09:53Two grand to go out.
09:55Through to the final chase.
09:56Correct answer is...
10:00All right, we've got to stay where we are.
10:03Correct answer is Morocco.
10:05The chaser has put.
10:09Yeah.
10:10All right, so, here we are.
10:12I really desperately want you to go through here.
10:15Come on.
10:15Here's your next question.
10:16At the Atlanta Olympics, which tennis player won silver partnering Neil Broad in the men's doubles?
10:25A, Greg Rosetsky.
10:28B, Jeremy Bates.
10:30C, Tim Henman.
10:32You put Tim Henman.
10:38Yeah, more football than tennis.
10:40Yeah, me too, me too.
10:42Well, if Tim Henman's correct, we're going through to the final chase.
10:45If it isn't, Tony, we're staying where we are, giving the chaser the chance to wipe us out.
10:50So, this has got to be right.
10:52The correct answer is revealed after the break.
10:59Oh, well, Tony here from Liverpool is up against the governess herself.
11:04Before the break, I asked him the question.
11:06At the Atlanta Olympics, who won silver partnering Neil Broad in the men's doubles?
11:11Tony said that it was Tim Henman.
11:13Time to find out.
11:14The correct answer is for two grand and going through.
11:20Yes.
11:21Well done.
11:22Well done.
11:23Oh, what a chase that was.
11:26That was a bit nerve-wracking, wasn't it?
11:28I can tell me.
11:29Chaser.
11:30Yes.
11:31Just about squeaked through.
11:33Yes.
11:34A bit like yourself now.
11:37Well done, Tony.
11:38Go and take your place in the final chase.
11:40There you are.
11:40I must go and have another look at my Graham Greene novels.
11:43Yes, indeed, you must.
11:45However, Tony through.
11:47Vicky next to face the chaser.
11:49Can she do it?
11:54Welcome.
11:56You're a kitchenware and cook-along consultant.
12:00What's a cook-along consultant?
12:02Well, basically, I do live cooking shows to demonstrate a range of cookware and bakeware.
12:08Is this like exhibitions?
12:10No, no, in people's homes.
12:12They get all their friends there.
12:13Really?
12:13Hopefully, people buy the stuff and then I earn lots of money.
12:16A bit like Ann Summers for cooks.
12:18That's it.
12:18I can't look at you in the same way now, Vicky.
12:22I'm very sorry.
12:23I'm very sorry.
12:24So, if you want some money, Vicky, what would you do with it?
12:27My husband's 60 next birthday, so I'd quite like to take him somewhere nice.
12:31Where?
12:31We'd like to go to the U.S., perhaps to the West Coast and take in Las Vegas, maybe Hawaii.
12:37Brilliant.
12:38Well, let's see if we can get you to the West Coast, shall we?
12:40Okay, thank you.
12:40As many questions as we can.
12:42I wish you luck.
12:43Your time starts now.

13:43Oak.
13:44Correct.
13:44In 2010, who became the first...
13:46Well, that was extraordinary.
13:48You looked like you was getting half of them.
13:50I think I was.
13:51That's what made me laugh.
13:52I couldn't...
13:53You looked like you were so surprised.
13:54Inspired guesses, maybe.
13:55Inspired guesses.
13:56I say that you've got £9,000 nonetheless.
13:58Wow.
13:59Brilliant.
14:00What we've got to do now is keep hold of that money.
14:02Haven't we?
14:02Yeah.
14:03Because it's time to face the chaser.
14:04Okay.
14:05Hello, Vicky.
14:20Hello, Anne.
14:21Well, it looks as if you may be the brains of this team, doesn't it?
14:24Well, I'm a good guesser.
14:26Hmm.
14:27All good things come in little packages.
14:29Not everything.
14:33Very good.
14:34Let's put some money on the table, shall we?
14:35Okay.
14:36Three steps ahead of the chaser.
14:37As always, £9,000.
14:38If you want to take a step closer to home, the chaser will offer you...
14:41£3,000.
14:43Oh, still a lot of money, right?
14:45If you want to take a step closer to the chaser, she will offer you...
14:48£20,000.
14:50Oh, that'll get you to the West Coast, wouldn't it?
14:52Would, yeah.
14:53It would.
14:53You'd better have a chat with your team.
14:54Even split four ways.
14:55Indeed.
14:56You'd better have a chat with your team.
14:57What do you think, guys?
14:58Well, I think you did really well in that last one.
15:00You seem to know your stuff.
15:02I think you could take it.
15:03I personally would have to stick with the £9,000, though, but...
15:06Niall?
15:06Yeah, I think you could go for the £20,000 if you really wanted it.
15:09You've shown in the last round that you've got the brains to go for it.
15:13Yeah.
15:13Thank you, team.
15:14Okay.
15:15That ultimately is your decision.
15:18Vicky?
15:18It's a very tempting offer, but I think I'm going to play it safe and go for the £9,000.
15:23Really?
15:24Yeah.
15:24That's fine?
15:25Right then, Vicky.
15:27For £9,000, the chase is on.
15:35Good luck to you.
15:36Here comes your first question.
15:38The TV shows Cheers and Ali McBeal were set in which city?
15:46A. Los Angeles.
15:47B. Boston.
15:49C. New York.
15:52You've put...
15:53Boston.
15:55Happy with that?
15:56Yeah.
15:57Correct answer is...
15:59Yes, Boston it is.
16:02The chaser has put...
16:03Yes, also Boston.
16:07Good.
16:08We're off to a great start, Vicky.
16:10Here's the next question.
16:13Which king of England is often said to have died from eating a surfeit of lampreys?
16:20A. John.
16:21A. John.
16:22B. William the Conqueror.
16:24C. Henry the First.
16:26C. Henry the First.
16:29You put.
16:31Henry the First.
16:32It's a bit of a guess.
16:35I didn't think it was William the Conqueror.
16:38Not sure about John, but...
16:40Yeah.
16:41Lampreys, they're things that are like eels, aren't they?
16:43I think so.
16:44Correct answer is...
16:47What a guess.
16:50Step closer to home, the chaser has put...
16:53Yes, Henry the First.
16:56Lampreys, Anne.
16:57They're about the most basic kind of animal you can get that's got a backbone.
17:01Really?
17:01It's got an incredibly twisty backbone.
17:03They're really rather more like worms and very slimy.
17:07How can you die from eating too many?
17:09Well, I have a history book at home that suggests that he actually died of tomate poisoning.
17:13The lampreys may have gone off.
17:15Oh, I see.
17:16Here's your next question.
17:19In 2009, who was controversially dropped from presenting duties on Radio 4's Today programme?
17:25Was it A. James Naughty, B. Edward Sturston, or C. Justin Webb?
17:32You put.
17:33Edward Sturston, do you listen to the programme?
17:36I used to, I don't so much now.
17:39Is this a guess?
17:40Yeah.
17:40Is it?
17:41Yeah.
17:41Well, at least you're honest, I like it.
17:43The correct answer is...
17:44The correct answer is Edward Sturston, you got that right.
17:52The Chaser's put.
17:55It's good news.
17:56Another Roman from The Chaser.
17:59Fantastic stuff.
18:00This is a controversy I don't actually remember.
18:03Me neither.
18:03But what was that there?
18:05That was £20,000, wasn't it?
18:06I know, I know.
18:07£20,000.
18:08Here's your next question.
18:10In which Carry On film did Barbara Windsor famously lose her bra while exercising?
18:18Was it A. Carry On Camping, B. Carry On Girls, or C. Carry On Nurse?
18:24You put.
18:27Carry On Camping.
18:28Yeah.
18:29I remember Vic and Bob's take off of it, which was even better than the original.
18:33Right.
18:34The correct answer is...
18:37Of course it's Carry On Camping, which means you have one correct answer to go on your foot
18:41and the final chase alongside Tony.
18:43The Chaser has put...
18:46Yes, Carry On Camping.
18:49Very, very good.
18:50Yes, I'm thankful to say it's never happened to me.
18:53Yeah, well...
18:54Otherwise somebody might get killed.
18:55Yes, sitting there and all of a sudden have your eye out.
18:59Here's your next question.
19:01Which novel includes the line,
19:03Many's the long night I've dreamed of cheese.
19:06Toasted, mostly.
19:07Was it A. Treasure Island,
19:09B. Gulliver's Travels,
19:11or C. Robinson Crusoe?
19:15Let's see what you've put.
19:18Treasure Island.
19:18Why Treasure Island?
19:20Do you know this?
19:20No, but what's his name?
19:22Long John Silver.
19:23He was a cook, wasn't he?
19:24He was a cook, yes, of course he was.
19:26Maybe this...
19:26Or Robinson Crusoe.
19:27Well, it could be, because he was starving, wasn't he?
19:29On his own.
19:30Yeah.
19:32Right.
19:32The correct answer is...
19:36Well played, indeed.
19:40Lots of his fun gifts for it, man.
19:43Never mind cheese.
19:44I think it's a bit of jam that's involved here.
19:47Yeah.
19:47What do you think of that, Chaser?
19:49Well, if you can't be good, be lucky.
19:51Which begs the question,
19:53maybe we should have gone for the 20,000.
19:55Maybe we should, but, you know,
19:56bird in the hand and all that.
19:57Indeed, you're absolutely right.
19:58Vicky?
19:59Go sit alongside Tony in the final chase.
20:02So, do you think she was guessing?
20:04Well, if so, she was doing it very well.
20:07Yeah.
20:07And there was a part in good guessing.
20:09Yeah, yeah, I think she's kidding us on a little bit, maybe.
20:12Anyway, next to Face the Chaser, it's Donovan.
20:19Welcome.
20:20Hi.
20:21Teaching assistant.
20:22Yes.
20:23Listen, if you're going to answer questions,
20:24what's your strongest subject?
20:25Probably, maybe film, I think,
20:27because I'm a bit of a thespian.
20:29So, yeah, I like to go and watch...
20:30Favourite role?
20:32My favourite role?
20:32When I was at university,
20:33I performed in the Full Monty,
20:35and I got to play the role of horse.
20:37Good man.
20:38We literally went the full naked.
20:40Literally done it all.
20:41All right.
20:41What ambitions have you got there, Donovan?
20:44You know, one day I would love to win an Oscar,
20:46given my speech until the music cuts me out.
20:49Yeah.
20:49For now, I think I'll have to stick to the British Awards as well,
20:52you know, a little BAFTA here and there.
20:53Well, I wish you luck with this, especially.

22:05£3,000.
22:06OK.
22:06But like I tell the others,
22:08now's the time.
22:08We've got to try and keep hold of it.
22:09Yeah.
22:09Because now it's time to face the chaser.
22:25Hello, Donovan.
22:26I do like your pretty pink sweater.
22:29Yeah?
22:29Do you wear that in the classroom?
22:31Yeah.
22:32I'm sure the children love it.
22:33I'm sure you like it.
22:34I'll take it off for you later.
22:36That's his promises.
22:37All right, here we go.
22:39Put some money on the table.
22:41There's your £3,000.
22:42If you want to take a step closer to home,
22:44the chaser will offer you...
22:46£500.
22:48£500.
22:49However, if you wish to take a step closer to the chaser,
22:51she will offer you...
22:52£15,000.
22:54£15,000.
22:55Have a chat with your team, Donovan.
22:58What do you think, guys?
22:59The main thing is,
23:00is have confidence in yourself.
23:01I think you can do it.
23:02I'd stick at the £3,000, though,
23:03if I was you.
23:04You've got a good chance,
23:05so maybe stick at your three.
23:07Yeah, and Niall.
23:08Yeah, that was a tricky round.
23:10Some really difficult questions.
23:11I'd stick with the three, to be honest.
23:12Play it safe.
23:13Right, Donovan.
23:15Time to make a decision.
23:17I'm going to take the advice of my team
23:19and I'll stick with the £3,000, please.
23:21£3,000, it is.
23:23Chaser.
23:24It's clear none of them has any faith in you.
23:26For £3,000, Donovan,
23:28the chase is on.
23:30Good luck, mate.
23:35Here comes the first question.
23:39Where was Vincent van Gogh living
23:40when he cut off his ear?
23:43Was it A, Arle,
23:45B, Paris,
23:46C, Delft?
23:50You put.
23:53Arle.
23:53Do you know this?
23:55No.
23:55This is a guess.
23:55It's a complete guess.
23:56Is it?
23:57Yeah, I thought he cut off his ear in Spain,
23:59so I don't know if Arles is in Spain or not.
24:02Correct answer is...
24:05It is.
24:06Get in there.
24:07Step closer to home.
24:08The chase is put.
24:11Yes, Arle, indeed.
24:13It's not in Spain,
24:14it's in the south of France.
24:15Doesn't matter.
24:16Got the answer right.
24:17Here's the next question.
24:20To which family does the South American alpaca belong?
24:24Is it A, the camel,
24:25B, the goat,
24:26or C, horse?
24:31You put.
24:34Horse.
24:35Your full Monty character?
24:36It was my full Monty character,
24:38but I have a feeling
24:40that I've got the wrong...
24:41That's not the right answer.
24:42What do you think it is, then?
24:43I have a feeling it's going to be B.
24:45You think it's goat?
24:46It's a mountain.
24:47Go right if I'm correct,
24:48or something like that.
24:48It's a bit like a llama.
24:50I don't know.
24:51Correct answer is...
24:54It's a camel.
24:57Got to stay where you are.
24:58The chase has put...
25:01Yeah, and knew that,
25:02and closes the gap.
25:03It's a family that's actually called the camelids.
25:06Thank you for that.
25:07Here's your next question.
25:09Wiltshire does not share a border
25:12with which of these counties?
25:15A, Oxfordshire.
25:16B, Worcestershire.
25:18C, Berkshire.
25:23You put.
25:25Berkshire.
25:26How are you on your British geography?
25:30I'm not good at geography at all.
25:31Right.
25:32Well, let's go for it.
25:34Correct answer is...
25:35It's Worcestershire.
25:38Wrong again.
25:39However, chase's geography might not be that good either.
25:42The chase has put...
25:43And moves one step behind us.
25:50Yes, well, I certainly knew that it couldn't be Oxfordshire,
25:54because in Bright's Head Revisited,
25:56Bright's Head Castle is actually in Wiltshire,
25:58and when the boys are at university in Oxfordshire,
26:01they drive there in a very short space of time.
26:04Ah.
26:04So I knew they were next to each other.
26:06Those little nuggets of information
26:07are invaluable in this game, aren't they?
26:09Absolutely.
26:10Right, I don't need to tell you, Donovan,
26:12we're in a bit of a pickle.
26:13If we get this next one wrong,
26:14she gets it right, we're out.
26:15Come on, mate, let's do it.
26:17Here's your next question.
26:17Who was the first British royal to be born in Scotland
26:22since the 17th century?
26:25Is it A, the Queen Mother,
26:26B, Princess Margaret,
26:28or C, the Duke of York?
26:32You put...
26:35The Queen Mother.
26:37Why?
26:37I have no idea, to be quite honest with you.
26:39I don't know much about the royal family,
26:42apart from the fact that Princess Diana was Welsh,
26:44and that the Queen Mother has died.
26:48That's a really broad knowledge.
26:50Yeah, it's very broad, yeah.
26:51The correct answer is...
26:57Princess Margaret.
27:00Mm-mm.
27:01Got to stay where we are.
27:03It needs to be on, right?
27:03We'll stay in the game.
27:05The chaser has put...
27:14Donovan, what have you got to say, mate?
27:17I'll see you later.
27:18Well, that's as maybe,
27:19but you have been caught,
27:21and for you, the chase is over.
27:22All right, thank you.
27:23Cheers, Donovan.
27:27Two through, one down.
27:29And Niall up next.
27:30Can he take down the chaser?
27:33Find out after the break.
27:38Welcome back.
27:39Last to face the chaser, it's Niall.
27:41Right, Niall, you're an international relations student.
27:45Yeah.
27:45What is that?
27:46Kind of a mix of politics, economics,
27:49human rights, and, like, sociocultural issues.
27:52Fantastic stuff.
27:53All right, you've seen Tony and Vicky go through
27:55and Donovan go out.
27:56Are you feeling confident?
27:57Yeah, yeah, I think so.
27:58Well, I'll see how you get on.
27:59Are you ready?
28:00Yep.
28:00I wish you luck.
28:01Let's build up as much cash as we can.
28:03Your time starts now.
28:06What cathedral is the setting for T.S. Eliot's play,
28:09Murder in the Cathedral?

28:11It's Canterbury.

28:53Which British designers' restaurants have included

28:58Heston Blumenthal.
28:59Terence Conran.
29:00The honey monster was first used to advertise what breakfast cereal?
29:04Sugar box.
29:04Correct.
29:04The flight recorder in an aircraft is called the flight box.
29:08Oh.
29:09Unlucky.
29:09Just out of time.
29:10However, £4,000?
29:12I suppose.
29:13That £4,000 is still a lot of money, Niall.
29:15Yeah, to a poor student like me.
29:17Indeed, it is.
29:18Let's try and get you and it through to the final chase.
29:21It's time to face the chaser.
29:22Hello, Niall.
29:37Hello, chaser.
29:38Well, that could have been more impressive.
29:42Don't think it's too bad.
29:44Unless you can make me a better offer.
29:46Oh, well, let's see.
29:47Let's see.
29:48There's your £4,000.
29:49If you wish to take a step closer to home, the chaser will offer you £200.
29:54But if you want to take a step closer to the chaser, she will offer you £20,000.
30:01£20,000.
30:01There's a smirk for you.
30:02I can see that.
30:03Have a chat with your team, Niall.
30:05What do you think, guys?
30:06It's better to get over here with the £4,000 than try for the £20,000 and not get anywhere
30:11at all.
30:12Vicky?
30:13I think maybe Tony's right.
30:16Play it safe.
30:16Your decision, Niall.
30:18So, what'll it be?
30:21Well, it's tempting as the £20,000 is.
30:23I think I'm going to stick with the £4,000.
30:25Yep.
30:25£4,000 it is.
30:27Chaser.
30:28They're always so timid these days.
30:30I remember the days when they used to be a lot more gung-ho.
30:33Yes.
30:34But I think we've got a good team.
30:36For £4,000, Niall, the chase is on.
30:39And good luck to you.
30:45Here comes the first question.
30:49Bill Beaumont is a former England captain in which sport?
30:53A. Cricket.
30:54B. Rugby.
30:55C. Football.
30:58You put.
31:01Rugby.
31:02Happy with that?
31:03Yep.
31:03Last night I was looking up a question of sport team captains.
31:07And he's one of them.
31:09Correct answer is...
31:12Brilliant.
31:13Step closer to home.
31:14The chaser has put...
31:16Also rugby.
31:18Brilliant stuff.
31:19We'll move straight to the next question.
31:20Very good.
31:22In which year was the arcade game Space Invaders first released?
31:27A. 1972.
31:29B. 1978.
31:30C. 1982.
31:31You put.
31:371978.
31:38Long time before you were born.
31:39Yeah, a bit before my time.
31:40I remember seeing someone playing it on a sitcom based in the 70s.
31:46So, I hope.
31:47Fingers crossed this is right.
31:50Correct answer is...
31:53Getty.
31:54Come on.
31:55She's invaded a few spaces in her time, but I don't think she's going to know this.
31:59The chaser has put...
32:03Got it wrong.
32:05Absolutely got it wrong.
32:07Brilliant stuff.
32:08Well done.
32:08We're on a roll.
32:09Let's go.
32:09Here's your next question.
32:10Which of the following writers did not win a Nobel Prize in Literature?
32:18A. W.B. Yates.
32:20B. James Joyce.
32:21C. George Bernard Shaw.
32:23You put.
32:28George Bernard Shaw.
32:29How's your literature?
32:31Not great.
32:31I'd be better if it was a Nobel Peace Prize, but he might be a bit early for them.
32:36Correct answer is...
32:38James Joyce.
32:40Okay, it's the wrong answer.
32:42The chaser has put...
32:45Yeah.
32:46And so makes up for that lost space.
32:50Here's the next question.
32:53In which city is the International Court of Justice?
32:59That's a handy question, isn't it?
33:00Is it A. Brussels?
33:02Is it B. The Hague?
33:03Or is it C. Geneva?
33:06You put.
33:07The Hague.
33:08Are you confident with that?
33:09Um, yeah, I think I remember the Slobodan Milosevic trial going on there.
33:13Yep.
33:13Correct answer is...
33:16Indeed it is.
33:17The Hague.
33:18Fantastic.
33:18The chaser has put...
33:21Also The Hague.
33:24There are, um, quite a lot of, uh, supranational courts.
33:28There's the European Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights, which is quite different.
33:34Thank you for that.
33:36Here's your next question.
33:36What name is given to the elastic horn-like substance in the soul of a horse's hoof?
33:43Is it A. Toad?
33:45B. Frog?
33:46C. Newt?
33:50You put...
33:53Toad.
33:54Were you looking for something like toad and the soul?
33:57Sorry about that.
33:59You put toad.
34:00Any reasoning?
34:01Frog seems a bit silly.
34:03A frog seems a bit silly, but a toad is okay.
34:06Well, I mean, she's got a frog in her throat.
34:08Yep.
34:09So it'd be a bit too convenient to have a frog in your foot as well, so...
34:12Correct answer is...
34:15Ah...
34:17Got to stay where we are.
34:20Chase has put...
34:22Yes, frog, which is indeed the correct answer and closes the gap.
34:26I don't know why it's called that.
34:28It is a silly name.
34:29Did you know that or was that a guess?
34:30No, I knew it.
34:30Right, let's get home, shall we?
34:33Here's the next question.
34:36Which sea lies between mainland Italy and the island of Sardinia?
34:41Is it A, Adriatic?
34:43Is it B, Ionian?
34:44Or is it C, Tyrenian?
34:49You put.
34:51Adriatic.
34:52Happy?
34:53I think the Ionian is near Greece, so it's 50-50.
34:59Correct answer is...
35:03Tyrenian.
35:05Once again, staying where we are.
35:07The chaser may know this and we'll close the gap.
35:10The chaser has put...
35:12Yeah.
35:14And is now one step behind.
35:16Yes, the Adriatic is to the east of Italy and Sardinia is to the west.
35:21Right, now then, got to get this next one right,
35:24because if we're wrong, you've got to assume that the chaser's going to get it right and knock you out.
35:27Yeah.
35:28Good luck.
35:28Here's your next question.
35:31Which of these former Neighbours stars has never had a solo UK number one single?
35:38Is it A, Jason Donovan?
35:40B, Natalie Imbruglia?
35:42C, Holly Valance?
35:47You put.
35:49Holly Valance.
35:51Are you a big Neighbours fan?
35:52No, surprisingly.
35:55Me neither.
35:56Got to be right.
35:57Correct answer is...
36:01Oh, that's the Imbruglia.
36:04Now, I don't think she'll know this.
36:07I'm praying that she doesn't.
36:09So as we can stay in the game.
36:11The chaser has put...
36:12Oh, I am so sorry.
36:20I had no idea you would know that.
36:23Well, my life is full of surprises.
36:26It is.
36:26Oh.
36:27Well, you did try very hard, and you nearly got there.
36:31Just a little bit too thick.
36:33That's unnecessary.
36:33Niall, what do you say to that?
36:36Your waistline's a little bit too thick.
36:38Oh, nice batting back here.
