00:00By working as a team, they have the chance to win thousands of pounds.
00:03There's just one thing standing in their way.
00:06The Chaser.
00:07The Chase is on.
00:17Hello and welcome to The Chase.
00:19Today's team of four total strangers believe they have what it takes
00:22to beat one of Britain's finest quiz brains and take home thousands of pounds.
00:26Let's meet them.
00:27I'm Sarah. I'm 47.
00:29I'm a vehicle stock auditor from Devon.
00:31I'm Aaron. I'm 37 and I'm a charity campaigns assistant from Redditch.
00:36I'm Jenny. I'm 32 and I'm an auxiliary prison officer from Liverpool.
00:41Hi, I'm Craig. I'm 25. I'm a bank cashier and I'm from Leeds.
00:45Now, one by one, they'll try to bring as much money as they can down the table
00:48and into the team prize fund.
00:50But hunting them down every step of the way is The Chaser.
00:53Anyone who gets caught loses their money and is out of the game.
00:56They may get back safely, though, and they will go through to the final chase
00:59with a chance to win an equal share of the total prize fund.
01:02And first to face The Chaser, it's Sarah.
01:08Welcome.
01:08Hello, Bradley.
01:09You OK?
01:09I'm fine, thank you.
01:10What's your favourite subjects?
01:12Probably geography.
01:14Right.
01:14Not very good at history.
01:16And if you want some money, what would you do with it?
01:17Well, the first thing I'd do is I'd pay for my son to do his master's degree.
01:22And if I had any money left over, I'd like to possibly take a gap year.
01:26So I'd have to win a lot of money.
01:28Right.
01:28Well, let's see how much we can win.
01:31It's quickfire questions against the clock.
01:33Each correct answer is worth £1,000.
01:35I wish you luck.
01:36Your time, Sarah.
01:37Starts now.
01:39What group had number ones with rhythm as a dancer and the power?
01:42Snap.
01:42Correct.
01:43From what 1986 film is the line,

01:48Oh, Crocodile Dundee.
01:49Correct.

02:06A buy.
02:07A Yorker.
02:08What was the first product to be advertised on commercial television in Britain?
02:12Coffee.
02:13Toothpaste.
02:13What word can mean a handbag without handles and a group of bird's eggs?
02:17Clutch.
02:18Correct.
02:18In 2010, who had his first number one album in 12 years with Going Back?
02:23No idea.

02:33Oscars.
02:34Correct.
02:35What's the name of the islands known in Spanish as Islas Malvinas?
02:39Out of time.
02:41Falklands.
02:42Falklands.
02:42Falkland Islands, indeed.
02:44But, nonetheless, £5,000.
02:46Oh, I'm happy with that.
02:47I should say, that's not a bad start.
02:48Not a bad start.
02:49No.
02:49Now all you've got to do is get it past the chaser.
02:52But who will you be up against today?
02:55Will it be Barrister, Sean Wallace?
02:58He doesn't have a hair out of place.
03:00Actually, he just doesn't have any hair.
03:01Or will it be Frosty Nickers, Anne Hegarty?
03:05She's a knockout.
03:06Or two falls and a submission.
03:08Or will it be Mark Lebet, the beast?
03:10He's a sage and knows his onions, so you could be in for a stuffing.
03:15Who do you fancy taking on?
03:17The person I don't want to take on is Anne.
03:21Right.
03:22Basically, because she reminds me of my old cookery teacher.
03:24Right.
03:25Who used to throw me out of her class, and I expect her to come down here and probably check
03:28under my nails before we started.
03:30All right.
03:30So, I wouldn't like to face Anne.
03:32Right.
03:32Well, we'll see who it is, Sarah, because it's time to bring on the chaser.
03:39Oh!
03:42Brilliant stuff.
03:43It is, indeed, the governess herself.
03:46Anne Hegarty.
03:47Hello, Anne.
03:50Hello, Sarah.
03:51I'd like to check my nails.
03:52I don't teach cookery, so I really don't care about nails.
03:57Let's put some money on the table, Sarah.
03:59There you are, three steps ahead of our chaser.
04:02If you wish to take a step closer to home, the chaser will offer you...
04:06£1,000.
04:08But if you wish to take a step closer to the chaser, she will offer you...
04:12£18,000.
04:13Not bad, opening gambit.
04:15Time to chat to your team, Sarah.
04:18Well, guys, what do you think?
04:20£1,000, I don't think, is enough, because you really did very well on the cash build around.
04:24Yeah, I was thinking that you did do pretty well, so...
04:26£5,000 might be attainable for you.
04:29Craig?
04:30I would be tempted to stick with the five.
04:32Just try and get as many bodies back as possible.
04:34Yeah, thank you, team.
04:35Right, Sarah.
04:36Ultimately, of course, the decision is yours.
04:39What'll it be?
04:40I think I will stick at the £5,000.
04:41I won't push my luck.
04:42Thank you very much.
04:43£5,000 it is.
04:44Chaser?
04:45No, I wouldn't push your luck if I were you, dear.
04:48You won't have any left.
04:51Well, that's just your opinion.
04:52Now then, there's the £5,000.
04:54Let's just get that money home, Sarah.
04:56Are you ready?
04:56I'm ready.
04:57Good luck for £5,000, Sarah.
04:59The chase is on.
05:01Here comes your first question.
05:09Which football club did Alex Ferguson leave to join Manchester United?
05:13A. Aberdeen, B. Motherwell, or C. Dundee United?
05:20You put.
05:23Motherwell.
05:23Football fan?
05:24No.
05:25That's a guess, isn't it?
05:26That is a total, absolute guess.
05:27Correct answer is...
05:29Aberdeen, you've got to stay where you are.
05:32The chaser has put.
05:35Yes, knows her football.
05:37He had extraordinary success with Aberdeen.
05:39He did.
05:40I mean, you don't expect anyone in Scotland to win anything unless they are Rangers and Celtic.
05:44Indeed.
05:45However, that's not good for us.
05:47Got to start getting them right.
05:48Here's the next question.
05:51What number comes between 8 and 21 in the Fibonacci sequence?
05:56Is it A, 13, B, 15, C, 17?
06:06You've put.
06:0913.
06:10Why?
06:10Complete and utter guess.
06:12I haven't got a clue what that means.
06:13Right.
06:15Correct answer is...
06:18Makes no sense to us in the least.
06:22But it was a good guess.
06:23Absolutely.
06:24Fantastic.
06:25Chaser's put.
06:28Yeah.
06:29I was extremely fortunate.
06:31It was.
06:31What's the Fibonacci sequence, ma'am?
06:34You keep adding the last two numbers to get the next one.
06:38So it goes 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21.
06:45Because 8 and 13 are 21.
06:46Of course.
06:47I don't know what it's for, but that's what it does.
06:50Here's the next question.
06:51Who presented both stars in their eyes and you bet?
06:56A, Kat Dealey, B, Bruce Forsyth, C, Matthew Kelly.
07:05You've put.
07:07Matthew Kelly.
07:08Yeah.
07:09I know we do stars in their eyes.
07:10Yeah.
07:11Part of that was a guess.
07:12The correct answer is...
07:15Yes.
07:17Three steps from home.
07:19The chaser is put...
07:21Of course, Matthew Kelly.
07:23Yeah.
07:24Not really my sort of TV, but yeah.
07:28Hmm.
07:28Here comes your next question.
07:31Which of these is not an ingredient used by the three witches in Macbeth?
07:36A, tongue of wolf.
07:38B, lizard's leg.
07:40C, scale of dragon.
07:42You've put.
07:49Lizard's leg.
07:50How does it go?
07:50Do you know how it goes?
07:51I don't.
07:52I can remember doing it at school, but I can't remember the detail.
07:55Eye of...
07:56Newt.
07:57Wing of bat.
07:59Don't know.
08:01Correct answer is...
08:04Tongue of wolf is not one of those.
08:08That was my second answer.
08:09Was it?
08:10Yeah.
08:10Oh.
08:12The chaser was put.
08:15Yeah, tongue of wolf.
08:17Do you know how it goes?
08:18Eye of newt and toe of...
08:20Frog?
08:22Something, something and something, something.
08:24I...
08:25That's really all I can remember.
08:26That doesn't rhyme.
08:27I know it doesn't.
08:28Eye of newt and tongue of frog something something something something.
08:31I don't know.
08:31It doesn't even rhyme.
08:32No.
08:32It's Shakespeare having an off day.
08:35I've newt, tongue of frog something and a yuletide log for Christmas.
08:39Yeah.
08:40Right.
08:40We're in trouble.
08:41We are.
08:42You've got to get this next question right.
08:43Definitely to give us half a chance.
08:45Here's your next question.
08:46Come on, Sarah.
08:46We can do it.
08:47Which king of England was the eldest son of John of Gaunt?
08:52A, Henry the fourth.
08:54B, Edward the third.
08:55C, William the second.
09:02You've put William the second.
09:05Yeah.
09:06History's not my topic.
09:08Me neither.
09:10Right.
09:10Fingers crossed that this is right.
09:12Correct answer is...
09:13Come on.
09:17We've got to stay where we are.
09:18Now, these chasers eat these questions for breakfast.
09:22They are so good on dates, monarchy, all that sort of rubbish.
09:28Got to be wrong.
09:29The chaser has put...
09:33Yeah, Henry the fourth.
09:35I'm sorry, Sarah.
09:36That's an early exit.
09:37Oh, dear.
09:38I'm so sorry.
09:39Chaser.
09:40Yes, I'm afraid a history question was what did for you.
09:43I thought it might be.
09:44Yes.
09:45Sarah, nonetheless, you have been caught.
09:47And for you, the chase is over.
09:50Lovely to have you.
09:54Well, that didn't take you long.
09:55No, I hope they're all like that.
09:57Yeah.
09:57I enjoyed that.
09:59Well, scintillating form and getting rid of the contestants very quickly doesn't bode well
10:04for Aaron.
10:05He's next up.
10:05See how he gets on in a minute.
10:09Well, next to face the chaser, it's Aaron.
10:11Hi, Bradley.
10:12How are you, Aaron?
10:13All right, I think.
10:14Yeah.
10:14I've seen Sarah.
10:15I know, I know.
10:16I thought she was going to do so well as well.
10:18I thought she was as well.
10:19Now, do you have any hobbies?
10:20I'm a bit of a Doctor Who fan, and I like to collect autographs as well.
10:24So you're on a hit list, actually, because you've been in a Doctor Who spin-off, and
10:27I haven't got you in my autograph book.
10:28Yeah, Sarah Jane Adventures.
10:30Odd Bob the Clown.
10:31Yep.
10:31Anyway, listen, enough chit-chat.
10:33Let's get on.

11:42Ooh, not bad.
11:43Eight thousand.
11:44Very, very good.
11:45All we've got to do now, Aaron, is keep hold of it.
11:47We have.
11:48Oh, it's time to face the chaser.
11:50Oh, it's time to face the chaser.
12:04Hello, Aaron.
12:05Hello, Miss Higgety.
12:06How are you today?
12:07I'm very well, thank you.
12:08Lovely.
12:08You're looking absolutely radiant, if I may say so.
12:11You really don't need to grease me up.
12:14I'm always nice to Doctor Who fans.
12:16Anne, that's too much information.
12:18You really don't need to grease me up.
12:19That's going to give me nightmares.
12:21It's giving me them already.
12:23Let's put some money on the table.
12:25Let's rate thousand pounds.
12:27If you wish to take a step closer to home, the chaser will offer you...
12:30One thousand pounds.
12:32Oh, you see, that'll teach you.
12:33Now then, if you want to take a step closer to the chaser, she will offer you...
12:37Buy your own Dalek.
12:39Thirty thousand pounds.
12:43Have a chat with your team.
12:44Positively, I'm getting an army for that much.
12:45Have a chat with your team.
12:47Okay, team, what do you think?
12:49I think you have got it in you to go for the thirty.
12:53You did very, very well, but the questions are harder in the next bit.
12:58It's up to you.
12:59Do what you feel comfortable with doing.
13:01Okay.
13:02Thank you, team.
13:03Need a decision from you, though, Aaron.
13:05What will it be?
13:06One, eight, or thirty thousand?
13:08As we've lost Sarah and we need to get some money in the pot, I'm going to go with the eight.
13:12Fine, thank you very much.
13:13Eight grand it is.
13:14Chaser.
13:14Yes, I'm so glad at least you didn't go for the thousand.
13:17I would never go that low.
13:19No.
13:19You'd be like one of those Doctor Who monsters without a backbone.
13:23Aaron, for eight thousand pounds, the chase is on.
13:32Good luck.
13:32Here comes your first question.
13:36In Italian cuisine, what is mortadella?
13:39A, bread.
13:40B, sausage.
13:41C, cheese.
13:42You put sausage.
13:52It's a complete guess.
13:53Yeah.
13:53Because I have no idea.
13:55I don't think it's cheese.
13:56No.
13:57Although it could be.
13:58Yeah.
13:58And I don't think it's bread.
13:59Well, it could be.
14:00Well, it could be.
14:01Yeah.
14:01So, do you like sausage?
14:03Sausage.
14:04I'm partial to a bit of sausage on occasion.
14:08But it's a complete guess.
14:10Yeah.
14:10Guess.
14:10Guess.
14:11I, yeah.
14:13The great answer is.
14:14Sausage won out for me.
14:21Good old sausage.
14:22Sausage.
14:35I'm so sorry.
14:39Oh, God.
14:41Calm down, brothers.
14:42Right, here we go.
14:44Very good.
14:44Well done.
14:45Well done.
14:47The chaser has put.
14:53Also sausage.
14:54She knows the sausages.
14:56She does, indeed.
14:57Here's your next question.
15:00Which fashion designer is the official outfitter for the Wimbledon Tennis Championship?
15:06Is it A, Tommy Hilfiger, B, Calvin Klein, or C, Ralph Lauren?
15:12You put.
15:18Ralph Lauren.
15:19That was a guess, really.
15:20Yeah?
15:21Mm.
15:21All right.
15:22I was trying to think of looking on the logos, you know, on the tops.
15:26Yeah, sure.
15:27Wimbledon.
15:27Well.
15:28What's extraordinary is it's Wimbledon Championships and not one of them is English.
15:32No.
15:33Anyway, the correct answer is.
15:37Ralph Lauren.
15:38Step closer to home.
15:39Well played.
15:40The chaser has put.
15:42Tommy Hilfiger and gets it wrong.
15:46As you said, none of them was English, so.
15:49Yeah.
15:49Okay.
15:50Should have gone for your 30, look.
15:52Loads of room up here.
15:53I know, yes.
15:54Here's your next question.
15:57Mozart's Symphony No. 38 is named after which capital city?
16:01Is it A, Vienna, B, Prague, C, Budapest?
16:05You've put Vienna.
16:12Only because it sounds more classical than the others.
16:17Oh.
16:19Prague's been.
16:20Okay.
16:21Correct answer is Prague.
16:26Ouch.
16:28Staying where we are.
16:30The chaser has put.
16:33Yeah, bread and butter questions for those.
16:36Here's the next question.
16:37In the Super Mario Brothers video game series, what is the name of Mario's brother?
16:44A, Luigi, B, Giuseppe, C, Antonio.
16:48You put.
16:55Antonio.
16:56You don't play them games.
16:57I don't play them games.
16:58No, me neither.
16:58No, I do.
16:59Right.
16:59Correct answer is.
17:02Luigi.
17:03Mmm.
17:04The chaser has put.
17:08Luigi, step closer.
17:09Down the table she comes.
17:11You might guess I would know my Super Mario Brothers.
17:14Yeah.
17:14Here's your next question.
17:15Dodge City's Marshal Matt Dillon was the hero of which TV Western?
17:23A, Gunsmoke.
17:24B, Rawhide.
17:26C, Bonanza.
17:29You put.
17:32Gunsmoke.
17:33I think I know that one.
17:35Yeah.
17:35I think.
17:37Correct answer is.
17:40Gunsmoke it is.
17:41Step closer to home.
17:42The chaser's put.
17:42Yeah, also Gunsmoke and stays there a couple of steps behind us.
17:48The star of Gunsmoke was.
17:49I think that was James Arniss.
17:51Yeah, James Arniss.
17:51He was ridiculously tall.
17:53He was.
17:54Here's your next question.
17:57Which South American capital city lies on the river Rimac?
18:01A, Lima.
18:02B, Buenos Aires.
18:04C, Santiago.
18:09You put.
18:12Lima.
18:13Now this was only because it sounds like Rimac.
18:17Oh, Lima and Rimac.
18:19That was the only reason.
18:20That was the only reason.
18:21Well, why not?
18:22Correct answer is.
18:25Absolutely.
18:26Why not?
18:27There you are.
18:28One step from home with your eight grand.
18:30The chaser's put.
18:33Oh.
18:34Fantastic.
18:36Put Santiago and got it wrong.
18:38I'm afraid I avoided it for the same reason.
18:40Oh, right.
18:41Now then.
18:42Here's what I'm hoping is going to be your last question, Aaron.
18:45Which means.
18:45Of course you've got it right.
18:46And you're through to the final chase.
18:47Here it comes.
18:48Odontology is a scientific study of the structure and diseases of what?
18:55A, teeth.
18:56B, bones.
18:58C, human organs.
19:05You put.
19:07Teeth.
19:09Only because it sounds a bit like, erm...
19:11Orthodontic.
19:11Yeah.
19:12Which is probably...
19:13Why not?
19:14To go through with eight grand, the correct answer is.
19:20Come on.
19:20Yes, you put teeth.
19:22Put it in there.
19:23And well done, mate.
19:24Really well done.
19:26Chaser.
19:27Yes, very good.
19:28Yeah.
19:28I thought you were a bundle of nerves to begin with, but you hung in there.
19:32You put me at my ears.
19:33Of course I did.
19:34All right.
19:35Well, go and reminisce about your sausage.
19:37Take your place in the final chase.
19:38Let's through.
19:41£8,000.
19:42Mm.
19:43Well.
19:44Third up, and hopefully next through to the final chase, is Jenny.
19:51Welcome.
19:53Hi, Bradley.
19:53Now, you're from Liverpool.
19:55I am.
19:55And you're an auxiliary prison officer.
19:58Tell me what that means.
19:59Right.
20:00I don't spend too much time on the wings, like the other officers and stuff.
20:04It's mostly involved in security.
20:06So you're well-equipped for taking on the governess, that's for sure.
20:09Oh, yes.
20:09All right.
20:10Now, if you won some money, Jenny, what would you do with it?
20:12Um, I'd love, in a couple of years' time, when he's a bit older, to take my son around the world and show him lots of different sights.
20:19I've seen a little bit myself, but I'd like to take him.
20:21What's the little one's name?
20:22Joshua.
20:23Joshua.
20:23Well, let's hope we can take Joshua around the world.
20:25Let's see how far we can get, yeah?
20:27Okay.
20:28Okay.
20:28Fantastic.
20:29I wish you luck.
20:30Your time starts now.

21:26What's the first name of Rowan Atkinson's character in Blackadder?
21:29Edmund.
21:30Correct.
21:31What part of an orange has the name, meaning great enthusiasm, would have been zest.
21:36Okay.
21:36£4,000 though, Jenny.
21:38Not too bad at all, I think.
21:39Right.
21:40It's time to face the chaser.
21:55Hello, Jenny.
21:56Hello there.
21:57I'm the one who looks like a prison officer.
21:59You look like a character out of Lord of the Rings.
22:04Thank you, I think.
22:05Yeah.
22:06Or out of a pre-Raphaelite painting.
22:07Yeah.
22:08Yeah, I like it.
22:08Oh, I like that, yeah.
22:09Enough of the chit-chat though, Jenny.
22:11We've got to get on with it.
22:12Let's put some money on the table.
22:13There's your 4K.
22:14Three steps ahead of the chaser.
22:15If you wish to take a step closer to home, she will offer you.
22:17You'll never command respect on the wings again if you take this.
22:21£400.
22:23Okay.
22:24But if you want to take a step closer to the chaser, she will offer you.
22:27Think of the things you could show little Joshua with £40,000.
22:324-0?
22:33Mm-hmm.
22:34Wow.
22:35Better have a chit-chat to your team.
22:36I think I better have.
22:39The cash builder, you're trying to pick answers out of nowhere, but with this, it's multiple choice.
22:43So if you can rule one out, then it's a 50-50 between the other two.
22:47Mm.
22:47The £400 is a joke.
22:49Don't go for that at all.
22:50But £40,000 is a lot of money, but we do want you back here.
22:54Thank you, team.
22:55Jenny?
22:56The decision's yours, of course.
22:57Yeah.
22:58£40,000 will be lovely.
23:00And, you know, I appreciate throwing a bit of the emotional blackmail in there, mention of me, son.
23:05But I'm going to have to go for the £4,000, I think.
23:08All right, £4,000 it is.
23:09Chaser.
23:10A shrewd decision, I suspect.
23:13Jenny, for £4,000, the chase is on.
23:19Good luck, my darling.
23:21Here comes your first question.
23:24Which London rapper released a 2010 album, The Defamation of Strickland Bank?
23:30A. Plan B.
23:32B. Dizzy Rascal.
23:33C. Jamie T.
23:36You put.
23:38Plan B.
23:40Happy with that?
23:40Yeah.
23:41Pretty confident?
23:41Yeah.
23:42Correct answer is.
23:45That's it.
23:46We're on a roll immediately.
23:47The chaser has put.
23:50Yeah, plan B.
23:51Massive plan B fan.
23:53Oh, yes.
23:54Oh, you'd be surprised what she likes, mate.
23:56I'll tell you.
23:57Here's your next question.
23:58Staple's was the middle name of which writer?
24:03A. C. S. Forrester.
24:05B. C. S. Lewis.
24:07Or C. T. S. Elliot.
24:12You put.
24:14T. S. Elliot.
24:16You don't know this, do you?
24:17I have no idea.
24:18That's a guess.
24:19Correct answer is.
24:20Oh, yes, yes, Lewis.
24:25Ouch.
24:25Right, staying where you are.
24:27The chaser put.
24:30Yes, yes, Lewis comes ominously creeping down the table.
24:34His name was Clive Staples Lewis, although he was always known to his friends and family as Jack.
24:39It was a name he picked for himself when he was a toddler.
24:43Thank you very much indeed.
24:45Here's your next question.
24:47In which year did Fred Perry last win the Men's Singles Championship at Wimbledon?
24:52Was it A. 1936, B. 1946, or C. 1956?
25:03You put.
25:061936.
25:08Another guess.
25:09Completely.
25:10Sport is not my thing.
25:11Right.
25:12Correct answer is.
25:16Great guess, great guess.
25:18Step close to the home, the chaser has put.
25:20Of course, he's put 1936.
25:25Fred Perry.
25:26Englishman?
25:27Yes, that's how long we've been waiting for a British Men's Singles Champion.
25:31That's why we get so excited about Andy Murray.
25:33Wow.
25:34Here's your next question.
25:37Which fish has a single dark spot on each side and has the French name Saint-Pierre?
25:44Now, is it A. Monkfish, B. Seabass, or C. John Dorey?
25:53You put.
25:55John Dorey.
25:57Yeah.
25:57Because.
25:58Well, I'll be honest, I didn't have a single clue, but I love the programme Scrubs and he's called John Dorey.
26:04The correct answer is.
26:10Thank you, Jay-Z.
26:13The chaser has put.
26:17Of course, John Dorey, sometimes it doesn't matter how you get there as long as you do.
26:21I'm rather fond of a bit of Scrubs myself.
26:24Here's your next question.
26:25Doing great, Jenny.
26:26Well done.
26:27Really good.
26:28The Moonies religious sect was founded in which Asian country?
26:32A. South Korea, B. Japan, or C. Malaysia.
26:41You put.
26:43Malaysia.
26:44Why?
26:45You know when something just sounds right and you're not sure why?
26:49Again, it is a bit of a guess, but it just felt more right than the other two.
26:53Okay.
26:54Correct answer is.
26:57South Korea, staying where we are.
26:59The chaser has put.
27:02Yes, South Korea, and is now the one step behind us.
27:05Yes, Moon is one of those ubiquitous Korean names.
27:08Banky Moon, obviously, from South Korea.
27:11Here comes your next question.
27:12It's got to be right.
27:14Stuart Copeland played drums in which band?
27:17A. The Clash.
27:19B. The Police.
27:20C. The Jam.
27:22You put.
27:25The Police.
27:26Happy with that?
27:27Yeah.
27:28Correct answer is.
27:31Fantastic.
27:31On one step from home.
27:33Really, really good.
27:34Chaser has put.
27:37Of course, she's put the Police as well and remains that one step behind us.
27:41Now then.
27:42One question.
27:43That's all we need and we're through.
27:45Yeah.
27:46Good luck.
27:46Here comes the question.
27:50The TV series, The Waltons, was set in which U.S. state?
27:56A. Tennessee.
27:58B. Virginia.
27:59C. North Carolina.
28:01Oh, that's a tough one.
28:07You put.
28:10Virginia.
28:12Again, complete guess.
28:13I was hoping something would stand out because I can picture the landscape of it.
28:17Sure.
28:17They all seem similar, so.
28:20Right.
28:21Well, if it's Virginia, we're going through.
28:23If it isn't, the likelihood is, the chaser will know.
28:28Is it Virginia?
28:29Are you ready, Jenny?
28:30The answer is revealed after the break.
28:35Welcome back.
28:39Jenny here from Liverpool wants to take her little lad, Joshua, to see some of the most beautiful
28:43places on the planet.
28:45It's £4,000 here to do exactly that.
28:48But first, she's got to get through to the final chase.
28:50Before the break, I asked her the question.
28:52The TV series, The Waltons, was set in which U.S. state?
28:55Jenny said that it was Virginia.
28:57Now, Virginia's right.
28:58We're going through to the final chase.
28:59The correct answer is...
29:04Yes!
29:05Oh, my God.
29:05Get in.
29:07We did it.
29:09Brilliant.
29:09Well played.
29:11Chaser.
29:12Yes.
29:13This is going to be an interesting final chase.
29:16I think it is, too.
29:18Jenny, take your seat in the final chase.
29:20Thank you very much.
29:20Well done, mate.
29:21There you go.
29:22Aaron and Jenny threw it with £12,000.
29:25Last to face the chaser, it's Craig.
29:31Hello, Rodley.
29:31Welcome.
29:33From Leeds.
29:33Originally, yeah.
29:35Living in Scotland now, at the moment.
29:36All right.
29:37Now, you're a banking cashier?
29:38I am, yes.
29:39Good with maths?
29:41No, I've got to calculate for that.
29:44Fair enough.
29:45Now then, if you want some money, what would you do with it?
29:47I'm hoping to take my girlfriend to Australia.
29:50I was there last year, and I told her if I won big, then we'd go and spend time with some
29:55family over there, so that would be good.
29:57Good luck with that.
29:58Thank you very much.
29:58Here it comes.
30:00Your time starts now.
30:02Well, who's captain of the Enterprise in Star Trek The Next Generation?
30:06James Kirk.
30:07Jean-Luc Picard.
30:08The Bluebell Girls were a troupe of what type of performers?

30:49Louis Blerio.
30:51What Hawaiian word that's used as a greeting or farewell means love or affection?
30:56Hola.
30:57No, it's aloha.
30:59Cartman, Kenny, Carl and Stan are characters in...
31:01South Park.
31:02Correct.
31:03Ah, you're getting well interrupted.
31:06Very good.
31:06£4,000, Craig.
31:08That's alright.
31:08That's alright.
31:09That'll be good, man.
31:10That'll be good.
31:10It's better than nothing.
31:11It is indeed.
31:12Time to face the chaser.
31:15Hello, Craig.
31:28You alright?
31:29I'm very well, thank you.
31:31I was going to be nice to you, but then the way you spoke to Jenny about the Lord of the
31:34Rings thing coming from someone with Lego hair, I think it's quite a bit, you know.
31:39Yeah, it looks like you could just take it off and put something else on.
31:43You've got some front.
31:44Ah, yeah, well.
31:45Oh, there's going to be a punch-up.
31:47Let's put some money on the table.
31:48Here's £4,000.
31:50If you want to take a step closer to the home, the chaser will offer you.
31:53Minus £1,000.
31:56If you want to take a step closer to the chaser, that'll teach you.
31:59She will offer you.
32:01Buy yourself the Great Barrier Reef.
32:03£40,000.
32:05£40,000.
32:06Alright, innit?
32:07Have a chat with your team.
32:09Hey, guys, what do you think we should do?
32:11Minus £1,000, no way.
32:13Don't have that.
32:15£40,000.
32:16Those cash-pay-holder questions we thought were quite hard, so...
32:19But, again, it's multiple choices this time round.
32:22I'd go for the middle.
32:23I definitely wouldn't go for the minus.
32:25That's just insulting to you.
32:28Cheers, thank you.
32:29Thank you very much, team.
32:31However, it's your decision.
32:35I'll be honest, I was going to take a low amount, but I can't take a minus figure back.
32:39That's just for me to be fair.
32:39Why can't you take a low amount?
32:40Because they've worked too hard to build it to 12.
32:42I wouldn't want to take a minus just to get back for a share of 11.
32:46I'll stick with the four.
32:48Alright, four it is.
32:49Thank you very much, chaser.
32:51It's going to be the battle of the hairdos.
32:53It is.
32:53Bring it on.
32:54Looking forward to it.
32:56For £4,000, Greg, the chase is on.
33:03Good luck.
33:04Here comes your first question.
33:05The 2010 European Formula One Grand Prix took place on the streets of which city?
33:13A. Madrid
33:14B. Valencia
33:16C. Barcelona
33:18You put.
33:26Valencia
33:26Formula One fan?
33:28No.
33:28I don't see the point in cars driving around a set track for hours on end.
33:33You don't even need a map.
33:34Just follow the car in front.
33:35It is, yep.
33:36Correct answer is...
33:38Well played.
33:40Step close to the home.
33:41The chaser has put.
33:44Ah, Valencia knows her at Formula One, that's for sure.
33:47I do rather agree with you.
33:49It's rubbish.
33:50It is.
33:51Here's your next question.
33:54Who wrote the novel A Parliamentary Affair?
33:57A. Geoffrey Archer
33:58B. Anne Whiddicombe
34:00C. Edwina Curry
34:02You put.
34:09Edwina Curry.
34:10Happy with that?
34:11I was thinking Geoffrey Archer but then I remembered that Edwina Curry and John Major had the thing going on so...
34:18It kind of ties in with the title but Matt might have just been a red herring so...
34:23Let's just hope it's Edwina Curry.
34:25Correct answer is...
34:28You're on a roll mate, you're on a roll.
34:31Three from home, it's going well.
34:32The chaser's put.
34:35Yeah, I knew that.
34:37Here's the next question.
34:39Which of these UK cities has never been designated a European capital of culture?
34:45A. Cardiff
34:46B. Liverpool
34:47C. Glasgow
34:48You put.
34:55Cardiff
34:55I used to live in Liverpool and that was the capital of culture 2008.
35:01I'd have thought Glasgow would have been two so...
35:04Again, it was a 50-50 and...
35:07Yeah, Cardiff seemed to be the right answer.
35:10Correct answer is...
35:12Really going great.
35:14There you are, two from home.
35:15The chaser's put.
35:16Indeed, Cardiff.
35:20It ought to have been.
35:21It's a lovely city.
35:22I've lived there.
35:23Yeah.
35:24But no, apparently it never has been.
35:26Here's the next question.
35:29Kylie Minogue did not appear in which of these films?
35:33A. Moulin Rouge, B. Street Fighter, C. Johnny English.
35:43You put.
35:46Johnny English.
35:47Yes, I can't remember who the part was, but I'm sure she played Jean-Claude Van Damme's partner in crime in Street Fighter.
35:52And I'm sure she played, was it Absinthe in Moulin Rouge.
35:57So, from the process of elimination, I'm sure it's Jean-Claude Van Damme's partner.
36:01Correct answer is...
36:03Well done.
36:06One from home.
36:07The chaser has put...
36:09Yeah, Johnny English.
36:12What's interesting though, you were going to take the lower offer.
36:14And you had 40,000 sitting here.
36:17Yeah.
36:1840, 40,000.
36:20I was brought up not to be greedy though, so...
36:22It's not being greedy, it's what you earned there and what you get dealt up.
36:25If I had a time machine, I'd go back.
36:27Here's your next question.
36:30Who was named Time Magazine's person of the 20th century?
36:33A. Ronald Reagan.
36:35B. Albert Einstein.
36:37C. Winston Churchill.
36:42You put.
36:44Einstein.
36:46Yeah.
36:47He's a very knowledgeable person, a lot of breakthroughs in science.
36:52Yeah, Einstein.
36:53Correct answer is to go through with four grand.
36:58Well done you.
36:59A walk in the park, and you just absolutely want home.
37:04That was good.
37:05Yes, but only £4,000.
37:07I know.
37:08Saved yourself 36 grand there.
37:09Yeah, it's obviously because you were brought up not to be greedy.

37:15Should have took it.
37:16Oh, well.

37:21Cheers, Craig.
37:21Bye-bye.
37:21Oh, I tell you what, could have had a total prize fund of £52,000.
37:27So, Aaron, Jenny and Craig have made it through to the final chase with a total prize fund
37:35of £16,000.
37:36Should have been so much more.
37:38Can they take any money on?
37:40Come back and find out after the break.
37:42Welcome back.
37:44Three players, Aaron, Jenny and Craig have made it through to the final chase with a total
37:49prize fund of £16,000.
37:50Now, on the buzzer and against the club, the team must answer as many questions as they
37:55can.
37:55Each right answer, of course, taking them a step further away from the chaser.
37:58Then the chaser will have the same amount of time to try and catch the team.
38:02If she does, they go home with nothing.
38:03If she doesn't, they'll go home with an equal share of £16,000.
38:08What's that?
38:08That's over £5,300 each.
38:11Now then, three of you have made it through to the final chase.
