00:00People 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.
00:07The chaser.
00:09The chase is on.
00:18Hello and welcome to The Chase.
00:20Today's team of four total strangers think they have what it takes
00:24to beat one of Britain's finest quiz brains and take home thousands of pounds.
00:28Let's beat the team.
00:30I'm Kevin, I'm 24, and I'm a trainee barrister from Wrexham.
00:34I'm Sue, I'm 60, I work in a toy shop, and I'm from Norwich.
00:39I'm Cara, I'm 29, and I'm a research scientist from Coventry.
00:43I'm Graham, I'm 33, I'm a customer complaints manager from Dewsbury in West Yorkshire.
00:47One by one, they'll try to bring as much money as they can down the board and into the team prize fund,
00:53but hunting them down every step of the way is the chaser.
00:56Anyone who gets caught loses their money and is out of the game.
00:59Make it back safely though, and they will go through to the final chase with a chance
01:02to win an equal share of the total prize fund.
01:05And first to face the chaser, it's Kevin.
01:11Welcome.
01:12Hello, Bradley.
01:13You all right, mate?
01:15Nervous.
01:15Well, you're going to be a trainee barrister.
01:17I am indeed.
01:18Well, not so you're going to be a trainee barrister.
01:20You're going to be a barrister.
01:21You're training now.
01:21I'm training at the moment, yes.
01:23Hope to qualify next year.
01:24Can't be nervous.
01:24Can't be nervous doing that stuff.
01:26You've got to be on your ball.
01:27This is a test.
01:29Well, I wish you luck.
01:30Quickfire questions against the clock.
01:31Each correct answer in this round is worth £1,000.
01:35Your time starts now.

02:39No, it's Mounties.
02:41Kevin, £1,000 to start off with?
02:43Hopeless.
02:44Don't worry.
02:45It's not about this round.
02:47It's about what you do at the table.
02:49But who will you be up against today?
02:51Will it be maths teacher Mark Lebet?
02:54He's the reason Welsh classrooms are overcrowded.
02:57Or will it be barrister Sean Wallace, the quiz heartthrob?
03:01When the girls throw their knickers at him, he just cleans them, irons them and throws them back.
03:06Or will it be Anne Hegarty?
03:08Now Mark might be from Wales, but she is the real dragon around here.
03:12It's time to face the chaser.
03:17Oh, it's the beast himself.
03:21The one I know, six foot, six man mountain, Mark Lebet.
03:25Good afternoon, Kevin.
03:28Hello, Mark.
03:29How are you?
03:29That was shocking.
03:31You'll have to throw yourself on my mercy, but I ain't got any.
03:34Put some money on the table.
03:36There you are, three steps ahead of the chaser.
03:37If you wish to take a step closer to home, the chaser will offer you...
03:40£100.
03:42Wow.
03:42If you want to take a step closer, he will offer you...
03:44£10,000.
03:46Very good.
03:46Have a chat to your team.
03:48What do you think, team?
03:50Stick where you are, play it safe, get through the next round and join us in the final.
03:54I think I'd agree as well.
03:56I think stick with the £1,000, play it a bit more safe.
03:58Sue?
03:59I wouldn't gamble for the big money.
04:01Hmm.
04:02Thank you, team.
04:03Well, there you are.
04:04All of them telling you to stay where you are, but it's your decision, Kevin.
04:07I think I'm going to stick where I am, Bradley.
04:09Are you?
04:10Yes.
04:10£1,000 it is.
04:11Thank you very much.
04:12Chaser?
04:14You should have gone for the £100.
04:16Would your skills go for the £100?
04:18Right.
04:19Let's bring that money home, Kevin.
04:21For £1,000, the chase is on.
04:28Good luck.
04:29Here comes your first question.
04:32Who had a 1970 top 20 hit with I Talk To The Trees?
04:36A. Roger Moore.
04:38B. Telly Savalas.
04:39C. Clint Eastwood.
04:42You've put.
04:44Telly Savalas.
04:45Is that a guess?
04:46I can't remember Roger Moore or Clint Eastwood ever releasing a song, but it is before my time.
04:50It is.
04:51Correct answer is.
04:54Nope.
04:55Clint Eastwood.
04:56You stay where you are.
04:57The chaser has put.
05:00Yes, Clint Eastwood comes onto the table.
05:02What film is it?
05:03And you know it and I know it.
05:04Paint Your Wagon.
05:04Paint Your Wagon.
05:05No Name City, some fabulous songs.
05:07Yes.
05:07Him and Lee Marvin.
05:09Here's your next question.
05:10Which of these sports does not have teams of 11 a side?
05:17A. Aussie rules.
05:18B. Cricket.
05:19C. American football.
05:21You put.
05:25American football.
05:27I don't watch much American football, but it is a bit of a guess to be honest, Brett.
05:32Correct answer is.
05:36Ouch.
05:37American football does have 11 players.
05:40The chaser's put.
05:43Aussie rules.
05:44And now it's one step behind you.
05:4618 a side plus four subs.
05:48You're obviously a very good lawyer because you know nothing about anything else.
05:52Not at the moment, no.
05:55Things can only get better.
05:57Now then, we've got to start getting these right, Kevin.
06:00This will be an early exit, mate.
06:01We don't want that.
06:02Pressure.
06:03Here's your next question.
06:06Which former PlaySchool presenter took their seat in the House of Lords in 2010?
06:12Was it A. Brian Kant, B. Fluella Benjamin or C. Johnny Ball?
06:19You put.
06:20Fluella Benjamin.
06:22Yep.
06:23Again, a total guess, though, Bradley, to be entirely honest.
06:26Not Johnny Ball?
06:27Don't have a clue who any of the three of them are.
06:34Correct answer is.
06:37That was a lucky, lucky guess, then.
06:39That's not the case.
06:40Step closer to home.
06:41The chaser's put.
06:43Of course, Fluella Benjamin.
06:45She's a lovely lady, Fluella.
06:46Very nice.
06:47Really nice.
06:48Here's your next question.
06:50Naughty but nice was a slogan used in the 80s to advertise which product?
06:57A. Ice cream.
06:58B. Chocolate.
07:00C. Cream cakes.
07:02You've put.
07:05Chocolate.
07:05I seem to remember it being advertised on one particular chocolate brand, and I think it's been reused since the 80s as well.
07:12Probably seen it on YouTube or somewhere around there.
07:14Right.
07:14And how old are you?
07:15I was born in 86, so I'm 24.
07:17Right.
07:1886.
07:18If this is right, it's a step closer to home.
07:22If it's wrong, we'll give the chaser the chance to wipe you out.
07:25You've put chocolate.
07:26The correct answer is...
07:28Cream cakes.
07:32Now then.
07:32I don't want to put too fine a point on this, but he looks like he's a fan of cream cakes.
07:41I agree with you, Brad.
07:42We've got to hope his finger slipped off the button and gone on to another one.
07:46To stay in the game, this has got to be wrong.
07:49Has the chaser put cream cakes?
07:51We'll find out after the break.
07:57Welcome back.
07:58Kevin here, the trainee barrister, is hanging on by a slice of cream cake.
08:02Before the break, I asked him the question,
08:04Naughty but nice was a slogan used in the 80s to advertise which product.
08:08Now, the correct answer was indeed cream cake.
08:10Kevin got it wrong and he put chocolate.
08:12What we need now is that we need the chaser to get it wrong.
08:15And Kevin, I've got to ask you the question.
08:17The chaser did say maybe it would be a good idea to take the lower amount,
08:20which was £100.
08:21Do you think you should have took that advice?
08:23Absolutely.
08:23He looks like he knows more about cream cakes than I do.
08:25Yeah, he does indeed.
08:27All right, joking aside, fingers crossed that he's got this wrong
08:30because that means we're staying in the game.
08:33The chaser has put...
08:37It is indeed cream cakes.
08:40So sorry, Kevin.
08:42Tough, tough, tough chaser.
08:44Did you ever think I was going to get that question wrong?
08:46Not in a million years, maestro.
08:47Well, Kevin, I do apologise.
08:51You have been caught.
08:52And for you, the chase is over.
08:54Cheers.
08:58Well, you made short work of that.
09:00I'm in brutal form at the moment, as you know.
09:02Yeah, you are, to be fair.
09:04Don't expect me to get any wrong.
09:07Bad news, because next to face the chaser, it's Sue.
09:14Welcome, Sue.
09:14Thank you, Brad.
09:15You work in a toy shop.
09:17I do.
09:17I actually own the toy shop.
09:19Do you?
09:19So it's even better.
09:20That's great, isn't it?
09:21Yes.
09:22See the faces on the kids when they come in and have a look around.
09:24Great stuff.
09:26So, what subjects are you good at, Sue?
09:28I like films, books.
09:31Good.
09:31Not sport.
09:32No?
09:33If you could sort that for me.
09:34Well, listen, if I could, trust me, I would.
09:37But unfortunately, I can't.
09:38And I have trouble asking them, for a start off.
09:40Never mind asking them.
09:41So, build up as much cash as we can take a nice few quid to the table.
09:44Are you ready?
09:45Yes.
09:45Sue, I wish you luck.
09:46Your time starts now.
09:49Wolfie Smith was the title character in what sitcom?
09:52Citizen Smith.
09:53Correct.
09:53Who played Sally in the film When Harry Met Sally?
09:57Mick Ryan.
09:58Correct.
09:59In 1875, Matthew Webb was the first person to swim across what stretch of water?
10:04English Channel.
10:05Correct.
10:05What human rights organisation was founded by Peter Benenson in 1961?
10:11Greenpeace.
10:11Amnesty International.
10:13What's the only mammal capable of sustained flight?
10:17Bird.
10:18A bat.
10:19What Palestinian region contains Bethlehem, Jericho and Hebron?
10:23Pass.
10:24West Bank.
10:25The phrases Hang 5 and Hang 10 come from what activity?
10:29Hang gliding.
10:30Surfing.
10:31Who hosted the 1989 Brit Awards with Mick Fleetwood?
10:35I can see her.
10:36Short girl.
10:38No, sorry.
10:39Sam Fox.
10:40Yes.
10:40In what decade of the 19th century was the first Impressionist exhibition?
10:4450s.
10:4570s.
10:46In Orwell's Animal Farm, what animal is Napoleon?
10:49Horse.
10:50It's a pig.
10:51Time's up anyway.
10:52But Sue, £3,000.
10:54Not bad?
10:56Good.
10:56Are you ready?
10:57Yes.
10:57It's time to face the chaser.
11:10Good afternoon, Sue.
11:11Hello, Mark.
11:12Well, if I had my nieces with me, I'm sure I'd love to go round your shop and spoil them
11:17rotten.
11:18But unfortunately for you, they ain't here, and I mean business.
11:22There's your £3,000.
11:23If you want to take a step closer to home, the chaser will offer you...
11:26£300.
11:27OK.
11:28However, if you want to take a step closer to him, he will offer you.
11:32Let's see if I can tempt you.
11:34£30,000.
11:35£30,000.
11:36Not bad.
11:37Have a chat with your team, Sue.
11:38OK.
11:39Well, you seem quietly confident in the first round, and £30,000 is a lot of money, so
11:46it might be worth having a gamble.
11:48I think the big guy needs taking down a peg or two, Sue, to be honest, so let's clean
11:51him out.
11:52Love it.
11:53OK, Sue.
11:53Thanks, Graeme.
11:54What do you think?
11:56I'm going to go for the £300.
11:58You're going to...
11:58I didn't feel very confident in that first round.
12:01It's a different ballgame now, Sue.
12:03Multiple choice.
12:04I've seen what he's done to Kevin.
12:05£300 it is.
12:06Thank you very much.
12:07Chaser.
12:07I think you might be wise there.
12:10Team.
12:11£300.
12:12You could have been braver there, Bradley.
12:14Yeah.
12:14Cara.
12:15I might have been a little bit braver, but it's Sue's decision, so...
12:19Sue's decision it is.
12:20And for £300, Sue, the chase is on.
12:24Good luck.
12:30Here comes your first question.
12:34The quetzal is the national bird of which country?
12:38A. Guatemala.
12:39B. Argentina.
12:40C. Panama.
12:43You put...
12:46Argentina.
12:47A guess?
12:48Yes.
12:48All right, let's put ourselves out of our misery.
12:51Correct answer is...
12:53Guatemala.
12:54You're staying where you are.
12:57The chaser has put...
13:00Guatemala.
13:01Oh, he is in good form.
13:03He is, yes.
13:04Aztec word.
13:05Quetzalcoatl was an Aztec god, so it was obviously a bird from around there.
13:09Here's the next question.
13:10The Italian explorer Marco Polo was born in which city?
13:16A. Genoa.
13:17B. Florence.
13:18C. Venice.
13:19You put...
13:20You put...
13:23Genoa.
13:25Happy with that?
13:26Yeah.
13:26Pretty confident?
13:28So-so.
13:29Correct answer is...
13:30It's Venice.
13:33Staying where you are.
13:34The chaser has put...
13:35Indeed, he has put Venice and is on the march.
13:40I think you mistook Christopher Columbus for Marco Polo.
13:43Easily done.
13:44Well, no.
13:47Easily done by me.
13:48In a word, no.
13:49Here's your next question.
13:50In 2009, which British pop star topped the US charts with his debut American single, Down?
14:00A. Jay Sean.
14:01B. Tayo Cruz.
14:03Or C. Dizzy Rascal.
14:11Mmm.
14:12Chaser-looking ponderous.
14:14Don't think he knows this.
14:16So, you put...
14:18Dizzy Rascal.
14:19Dizzy Rascal fan?
14:20No.
14:21No.
14:21Complete guess, I'm afraid.
14:23Tower Cruise.
14:24Do you know any Tower Cruise's tunes?
14:25I don't know anything about any of them.
14:27I once knew a girl called Dizzy Cow.
14:31You live and learn.
14:34Correct answer is...
14:37J. Sean.
14:38Staying where you are.
14:41I'm not sure the chaser knows this.
14:44The chaser has put...
14:49Oh, wow.
14:52Very good.
14:53I didn't know it, but I knew quite a few of...
14:55Is it Tower or Tail Cruises?
14:57Tower Cruise, yeah.
14:57And Dizzy Rascal's songs, and they hadn't been hits in this country, so...
15:01As you know, my rule, if in doubt, go for the one you've never heard of.
15:04Indeed, which means he's one step behind, and it was a good decision not to go for your £3,000.
15:11Yes, yes.
15:12All right, you've got to get this one right.
15:14Here is your next question.
15:15Which of these novels was written by George Orwell?
15:22A. The Bishop's Wife.
15:23B. The Vicar of Wakefield.
15:25C. A Clergyman's Daughter.
15:31You put...
15:33A Clergyman's Daughter.
15:35I was hoping for Animal Farm to come up.
15:38All right.
15:39Guess.
15:40Yep.
15:41Correct answer is...
15:43Good guess.
15:46Move a step closer to home.
15:47The chase is put.
15:50Oh, C. A Clergyman's Daughter remains that one step behind it all the way down the board.
15:55I told you, Anne's been working with me on my art and literature, and you may have noticed the difference.
15:59Oh, do you know what I have?
16:01You're red hot on it now.
16:03Here's the next question.
16:06Port Vale Football Club play the home games in which city?
16:09A. Stoke-on-Trent.
16:11B. Derby.
16:12C. Chester.
16:15You put...
16:17Chester.
16:19I think they're Welsh.
16:21You do?
16:21Hmm.
16:25Is Chester in Wales?
16:27No.
16:30Correct answer is...
16:33Stoke-on-Trent.
16:35Close.
16:35I've no good on geography.
16:37Or football, unfortunately.
16:38But that's not unless you did say sport wasn't your strong point.
16:42We've got to stay where we are.
16:43For our sakes to stay in the game, Sue.
16:45We need this to be wrong.
16:46The Chaser has put...
16:47Stoke-on-Trent and wipes us out, unfortunately.
16:56Chaser.
16:58Limited gifts, but you did make the right decision.
17:00Still wasn't enough for you.
17:02Still wasn't enough.
17:02Never mind.
17:03Well done.
17:04Give my regards to everyone in Norwich, Sue.
17:05However, you have been caught in view.
17:07The chase is over.
17:09Thank you, Brad.
17:10Thank you, Sue.
17:10Bye-bye, darling.
17:11Cara, doesn't matter what you do next, I'm still going to catch you.
17:17Perfect round so far, isn't it?
17:20Next, I face the chaser.
17:21It's Cara.
17:26Ball.
17:26Two down, two left.
17:28How do you feel?
17:30A little bit nervous, but I think I'll give it a good goal.
17:33Will you?
17:33Where are you from originally?
17:35Originally from South Wales, so not far from Mark, I believe, actually.
17:38What part?
17:39South East, so a small town called Abitaleri.
17:41Fantastic stuff.
17:43All right.
17:43Hobbies?
17:44I used to play football and now just watch.
17:47Also play poker occasionally, so might be going for a little gamble.
17:51Good stuff.
17:52And if you won some money, what would you spend it on?
17:53We've been engaged for three years and we're hoping to have a civil ceremony in the next couple of years.
17:59Cool.
17:59Well, I wish you luck.
18:00Let's see how much cash we can build up first.

19:09All right, not bad card.
19:10Time's up.
19:11£4,000.
19:12Can you take him on?
19:13I'll give it a go.
19:14Can you beat him?
19:14I hope so.
19:15Well, I'm waiting for this.
19:17It's time to face the chaser.
19:18Shemai, Cara.
19:31That's Shemai.
19:32Ah, Gwent girl.
19:33What a passion for gambling.
19:36And you're the best of the players we've seen so far.
19:40Mmm.
19:43Let's put some money on the table.
19:44There you are.
19:45There's your 4K to start off with.
19:46If you want to take a step closer to home, Cara, the chaser will offer you...
19:49£400.
19:51Mmm.
19:52However, take a step closer, he will offer you...
19:55And bear in mind, you only have to split this with at most one person.
19:59£40,000.
20:01Have a chat with Graham.
20:03What do we think, Graham?
20:05How much would £4,000 mean towards your wedding fund?
20:08Quite a lot, actually.
20:10Right, tell him to stick it, then.
20:11Take £4,000.
20:12Stick with £4.
20:12Yeah.
20:13I think he's going to have a bad round in one of the next couple, but play it safe.
20:16I would.
20:17Thank you, Graham.
20:18Oh, Graham, he's changed his tune, hasn't he?
20:20I tell you what, that was very strict rules, I have to say.
20:23He was sitting down there.
20:25But it is your decision.
20:26£400,000, £4,000, or £40,000.
20:33It's a difficult one, but you are in top form, so I'll respect that and I'll stick with £4,000, I think.
20:38You're going to stay with £4,000?
20:39Yeah.
20:40Thank you very much.
20:41Chaser.
20:42You're one step higher than I thought you would be.
20:44For £4,000, Cara, the chase is on.
20:52Good luck to you.
20:53Here comes your first question.
20:55How many individual squares are there on a standard Scrabble board?
21:04A, 121, B, 169, or C, 225?
21:10You put...
21:14121.
21:15Now, do you know that for sure, or is that a guess?
21:17That's an educated guess.
21:19I do like playing Scrabble, but I must admit I never sit and count the squares.
21:22I know, so it's 11...
21:23So you're saying 11 by 11, as opposed to 13 by 13.
21:26I don't think it's going to be 225, do you?
21:28That's just too many.
21:30Correct answer is...
21:34Well, I never.
21:37Dumbfounded that.
21:38I had no idea.
21:38The chaser has put.
21:43Oh, and comes immediately onto the table.
21:4515 times 15.
21:47Indeed.
21:47And if you're a Scrabble player, you should know that...
21:49If it was any smaller, it'd be possible to start in the middle
21:53and get to the triple word score in one seven-letter word,
21:57where it's impossible to do that.
21:59He makes a good point.
22:00Do you know why?
22:01That's why he's a chaser.
22:03Here's the next question.
22:05At which London address was the Queen born?
22:11A, 87 Brompton Road,
22:13B, 22 Park Lane,
22:14or C, 17 Bruton Street?
22:21You've put...
22:2387 Brompton Road.
22:27Something in the back of my mind, but I'm not sure what.
22:30It's a gut feeling.
22:31The correct answer is...
22:3417 Bruton Street, where the galleries are.
22:37What's all that about?
22:38You've got to stay where you are.
22:39The chaser's put...
22:43Bruton Street.
22:45Well, when the Queen was born,
22:47she was merely the first daughter of the second son to the King.
22:51I think it was one of the Bowes-Lines private residences.
22:54So it wasn't a royal palace.
22:55Of course.
22:56Oh, and goody, I'm one behind you.
22:58And I still haven't got a question wrong.
23:00Oh, right.
23:02We've got to shake him off.
23:04Let's get a move on.
23:05Here's your next question.
23:06What is the only country through which the equator
23:10and the Tropic of Capricorn both pass?
23:14Is it A, Brazil, B, China, C, Australia?
23:23You've put...
23:25Brazil.
23:27What do you think?
23:27I think my geography's a little shaky,
23:30but again, a gut feeling...
23:32Not sure.
23:34What is the Tropic of Capricorn?
23:35What do you know?
23:36Good question.
23:37I wouldn't like to define it.
23:39The correct answer is...
23:42Brazil.
23:43Well played.
23:45The chase has put...
23:48Also, Brazil remains that one step behind us.
23:50Tropic of Capricorn?
23:52It's the one in the Southern Hemisphere,
23:54and that's supposed to represent the theoretical lowest point
23:56at which the sun will be directly overhead at midday.
24:00Here's your next question.
24:01Someone described as a polyglot is able to do what?
24:08A, speak many languages,
24:10B, play many instruments,
24:12or C, taste many flavours.
24:13Well, I can do that.
24:26Me too.
24:27Do you reckon we're polyglots?
24:28I hope we're polyglots.
24:30I hope we're polyglots for your sake.
24:33Polyglots is the right answer.
24:35We're still in the game.
24:35If it isn't,
24:36we're going to give the chase the chance to close the gap.
24:38Are you sure you're a polyglot?
24:42Not sure.
24:44Hoping so.
24:47Well, we'll find out after the break.
24:52Welcome back.
24:54Is Cara a polyglot?
24:55That was the question I was asking her,
24:57because before the break,
24:59I asked Cara the question,
25:01someone described as a polyglot is able to do what?
25:04Now, Cara said,
25:05taste many flavours,
25:06which is what I said that we all could do, really.
25:10So we're looking for that.
25:12We need this to be right to stay in the game.
25:15The correct answer is...
25:16That's not good.
25:25We've got to stay where we are.
25:28The chaser has to be wrong.
25:29Polyglot.
25:30Where does that come from?
25:31Glot.
25:32Glottal.
25:34Oh, you see?
25:35Sometimes the answer is in the question, isn't it?
25:39The chaser has put...
25:40Got to be wrong.
25:44Yeah.
25:44That was it.
25:46And it'll tell us exactly what it's all about.
25:50Derived from...
25:51The Greek.
25:51A little bit of Latin and Greek goes a long way in quizzes.
25:54Cara, I'm very sorry to say you have been caught,
25:57and for you, the chase is over.
26:03Well, well, well.
26:04100% record thus far.
26:06I told you I'm in good form.
26:07Graham, the good news is,
26:09you're playing for yourself now.
26:11Last to face the chaser,
26:12it is indeed, Graham.
26:14Hi, Bradley.
26:18Graham.
26:18And then there was one.
26:20He's looking pretty menacing today, isn't it?
26:21He is.
26:21It's been a massacre so far.
26:22He's been absolutely an awesome form.
26:25You've watched Kevin, Sue and Cara go out,
26:27you've seen their individual chases.
26:29How were you on their multiple choice questions?
26:31A bit of a mixed bag.
26:34Some I knew, some I guessed, some I had no idea on.
26:37Really?
26:38But it's just the luck of the draw.
26:39You might get seven or eight questions you know.
26:41You might get seven or eight, you haven't got a Scooby-Doo, so...
26:43Yeah.
26:44Well, I wish you luck.
26:45Graham, your time starts now.
26:49Zion is the name of the holy hill of what ancient city?
26:53Jerusalem.
26:54Correct.

27:11Passing.
27:11Princess Margaret.

27:18Opera baritone.
27:20Ventriloquist.
27:21If someone is disenfranchised, what have they lost?
27:24Belief, interest.
27:25No, the right to vote.
27:27Who wrote Bookie Wook 2?
27:29This time it's personal.
27:30Russell Brand.
27:31Correct.
27:31What type of school was founded by Dame Marie Rambert in the 20s?

27:36Ballet.
27:37In what month of 44 BC was Julius Caesar assassinated?
27:41March.
27:42Correct.
27:42What's the highest number in the National Lottery's Lotto Drawer?
27:4549.
27:45Correct.
27:47WSJ.com is the website of what time's up.
27:50Not bad, Graham.
27:51Seven grand.
27:52Buy a few pints, that will.
27:53Hey.
27:54And a pie.
27:55Yeah, yeah, definitely.
27:56All we've got to do is keep hold of that seven grand and maybe even more.
27:59It's time, Graham, to face the chaser.
28:11Good afternoon, Graham.
28:14Hi there.
28:15Well, you've come to the star player of the team.
28:17Interesting body language, although I'm not sure hands in the pocket's quite appropriate.
28:20Very laid back.
28:22Which might stand him in good stead here.
28:24He won't get succumbed to nerves like the others.
28:26Yeah.
28:27Well, they did and they just weren't good enough.
28:29Let's put some money on the table.
28:30There it is, Graham.
28:31Your 7K.
28:31If you want to take a step closer to home, the chaser will offer you.
28:3420,500 pounds.
28:35If you want to take a step closer to the chaser, he'll offer you.
28:3920,000 pounds, all for your lonesome.
28:4220 grand.
28:44It's a bit tight, isn't it?
28:45Everyone else got 10 times as much.
28:47You're worried?
28:49He looks a bit tight.
28:49Take the offer then.
28:50See how worried I am.
28:52It's not really incentivizing me to gamble, is it?
28:54Hmm.
28:55I think that's a bit mean.
28:56I'll stick where I am, actually.
28:57Yeah?
28:58Yeah, if it's not going to make it worth me taking a risk, I'll get in a final.
29:01I think I'll stick with a 7 grand now.
29:02No, that's fine.
29:025 grand.
29:03Ilison, I don't blame you.
29:04I think you're absolutely right.
29:05Chaser?
29:06I don't think he'd have taken 70 grand, so 20 seemed about right.
29:10For 7,000 pounds, Grant, the chase is on.
29:16Good luck.
29:17Here comes your first question.
29:21Which of these capitals has not hosted the Summer Olympics?
29:25A. Stockholm.
29:26B. Copenhagen.
29:28C. Helsinki.
29:29You put Copenhagen.
29:37Why Copenhagen?
29:38It's got instinct.
29:40Helsinki's definitely hosted it.
29:41Stockholm, I think, has hosted it.
29:43So I'm going to go for Copenhagen.
29:45Correct answer is...
29:46Well played.
29:50A step closer to home.
29:51The chaser has put...
29:52Of course he's put Copenhagen.
29:56Helsinki, 1952.
29:57Smallest ever place to host the Summer Olympics.
30:01Stockholm, 1912.
30:02The last Olympics in which an individual competitor could just turn up and take part.
30:07Thank you for that nugget, sir.
30:09Here's your next question.
30:11What was the nickname of Morgan Freeman's character in The Shawshank Redemption?
30:16Was it A, red?
30:17B, Boggs.
30:18C, Floyd.
30:20You put...
30:22Red.
30:23Happy with that?
30:24Absolutely nailed on, yeah.
30:25Correct answer is...
30:28Nailed on indeed.
30:29Step closer to home.
30:30The chaser's put...
30:32Red.
30:34It is.
30:35Cracking film.
30:36Always intrigued me, though.
30:38When he disappears down the hole, how does he put the poster back over the hole once he's gone?
30:44Do you know I never thought of that?
30:45That's the only loophole in that plot.
30:48You're so picky.
30:49I am picky.
30:50But what can I do?
30:51Here's the next question.
30:55Which artist won the Turner Prize in 1995 for an exhibit that included the piece Mother and Child Divided?
31:04A, Damien Hirst.
31:06B, Tracey Emin.
31:07C, Anish Kapoor.
31:11You put.
31:14Damien Hirst.
31:15Yep.
31:15Again?
31:16Yep.
31:16I believe it was a cow and a calf in a tank of formaldehyde and had been splashed down the middle.
31:21It's getting a bit slow, though, have you noticed?
31:22There's two I've got quicker than it.
31:23Yeah, it is.
31:24I have noticed that, actually.
31:25Correct answer is?
31:30Well played, Damien Hirst.
31:31It is.
31:32Well done.
31:33The chaser has put.
31:37Yeah, Damien Hirst.
31:38It's called technique, dear boy.
31:40When it comes to art and culture, I'm not the best, so I take my time and make sure I get it right.
31:44Everybody should know that one, though.
31:45Everyone should know that one.
31:46Here's your next question.
31:51Where would you sit in a private box known as a loge?
31:55Was it A, the theatre, B, the racecourse, or C, diner?
31:59Yes.
32:00I've got a theatre degree, so if it's theatre, I'm going to be really ticked off, and all my lovies will be very upset with me.
32:17Diner, I would just expect it to be a booth.
32:20Theatre's normally just the private box or a royal box.
32:22Yeah.
32:23So, elimination, go for the GGs.
32:27Okay.
32:27You've put racecourse.
32:28Correct answer is?
32:32Theatre.
32:33See, now.
32:33I did get a 2-1, but, you know.
32:35I'll tell you what, I've worked in hundreds and hundreds of theatres.
32:38Never heard of it.
32:40They've got to say we are.
32:41The correct answer is theatre.
32:42The chaser's put?
32:46How did you get that?
32:48Oh, I got lucky, but the way it is today, I might as well go out and buy lottery tickets.
32:52I just can't go wrong.
32:53Here's the next question.
32:56Which of these American presidents does not appear as a carved face in the side of Mount Rushmore?
33:04A. Franklin D. Roosevelt.
33:06B. George Washington.
33:08C. Abraham Lincoln.
33:11You put.
33:14Franklin D. Roosevelt.
33:15You know this?
33:17It's a little process of elimination.
33:18I think it's just too late in the period of time.
33:21Washington and Lincoln founding fathers, aren't they?
33:24Of course.
33:24So, I'd expect them to be up there.
33:26Of course.
33:27Correct answer is?
33:30Well played.
33:31One step from home.
33:32The chaser's put.
33:33Also, the right answer, of course, and remains the two steps behind us.
33:39Good logic.
33:40I think they were completed in the 1920s in South Dakota and, of course, FDR was 30s and 40s.
33:45His cousin, Theodore Roosevelt, is on the memorial.
33:49Right.
33:50Well, one question from home.
33:52Come on, Graham.
33:52Let's do it.
33:53Here's your question.
33:54In heraldry, which word is used to describe an animal standing on its hind legs?
34:01A, rousant.
34:03B, reclinant.
34:05C, rampant.
34:08You've put.
34:12Rousant.
34:13Why?
34:15Elimination again, I'd say reclinant would normally mean you're reclining, you're lying down or you're relaxing.
34:19Rampant, I would expect to mean running around or lively.
34:23I see where you're going with that.
34:24But, rampant.
34:26I would say rampant.
34:28Rampant, yeah, maybe.
34:29A horse, see.
34:29But if you say he's absolutely rampant today, you know what you mean, he's lively, he's running around.
34:32I don't know.
34:33I'm talking about rampant beasts.
34:34Well, he's up there, isn't he?
34:35But, yeah.
34:36Great answer is to go through with seven grand.
34:39Come on, Graham.
34:43Rampant.
34:44Ramp.
34:45I've got daylight.
34:46I've got daylight.
34:47Look, I've got one space to play with.
34:48So, we're all right.
34:49We have.
34:49We have.
34:50We've got to stay where we are.
34:51The chaser has put.
34:54Rampant.
34:56There's a mate of mine who's designed his own family coat of arms, and he's chosen, being
35:01a good Welshman, the black sheep rampant as his device.
35:05Ah.
35:06Ramp.
35:07Yes.
35:08Does that mean anything?
35:09No, it's just a heraldic term, a bit of Norman French, you know.
35:11But, at least one thing, you were right not to go for the 20 grand.
35:15Absolutely.
35:15Yes.
35:16I'm also right not to have a friend who designs his own coat of arms.
35:19Yeah.
35:19That is scary.
35:20You've got to tell him to get up much, much more.
35:23What's his name?
35:24Sidney McBoer.
35:26Honest to God, you want to see this?
35:27He was really rampant.
35:29And I'm painted it.
35:31Black.
35:33Like cool.
35:34So, you've met him then?
35:35No.
35:38Right.
35:39Here we go.
35:40Come on.
35:40Let's get out.
35:41Here is your next question.
35:43Which composer had a notorious affair with the French novelist, George Sand?
35:52A.
35:52Chopin.
35:53B.
35:54Mendelssohn.
35:55C.
35:56Berlioz.
35:56You've put Chopin, because?
36:07I haven't got a Scooby-Doo.
36:09To be honest, it was an absolute punt.
36:11Was he French, Chopin?
36:12Sounds it, doesn't it?
36:13Put Chopin.
36:14Got to be right.
36:15Please be right.
36:16Correct answer is to go through with seven grand.
36:18And...
36:18Come on.
36:24Yes!
36:25Get in there!
36:27Well done, Graham.
36:29Fantastic.
36:30Get in there with a guess.
36:32Frederick Chopin, the Polish-born Frenchman, or French-born Pole.
36:35Oh, really?
36:36So he wasn't French at all?
36:37He was born in Poland, and he lived most of his life in France.
36:40Ah, very good.
36:42One fluke away from getting them all.
36:44Graham, well done, mate.
36:46Cheers.
36:46Go and take your place.
36:47You're through to the final chase.
36:49There you are.
36:51By the skin of his teeth.
36:53Yeah, just made it.
36:54So only Graham has made it through to the final chase with a prize fund of £7,000.
37:00I'm just hoping he can outrun the chaser.
37:03Will he?
37:04Come back and find out after the break.
37:08Well, welcome back.
37:10Only Graham has made it through to the final chase with £7,000 in the prize fund.
37:15Now, against the clock, Graham must answer as many questions as he can.
37:19Each right answer, taking him a step further away from the chaser.
37:22Then the chaser will have the same amount of time to try and catch Graham.
37:25If he does, Graham leaves with nothing.
37:27However, if the chaser fails in his quest, Graham goes home with £7,000.
37:33That's not bad.
37:35It'll do.
37:35Yeah, it'll do.
37:36It'll do.
37:37It'll do.
37:38All right.
37:38You get a one-step head start on the chaser because only you've made it through to the
37:42final, Graham.
