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.
00:09The chaser.
00:10The chase is on.
00:20Hello and welcome to The Chase.
00:22Today's team of four total strangers believe they have what it takes to beat one of Britain's finest quiz brains and take home thousands of pounds.
00:28Well, do they?
00:30Let's find out and meet the team.
00:31I'm Yvonne, I'm 42, and I'm a caravan warden from Dumfries.
00:35I'm Richard, I'm 40, and I'm a psychiatric nurse from Newcastle-on-der-Lyme.
00:40I'm Sarah, I'm 34, and I'm an English teacher from Halifax.
00:43I'm Carol, I'm 65, I'm a retired head of school from Cardiff.
00:49So there they are.
00:50Now, one by one, they will try and bring as much money as they can down the board and into the team prize fund.
00:56But as ever, hunting them down every step of the way is the chaser.
00:59Anyone who gets caught loses their money and is out of the game.
01:02Make it back safely, though, and they will go through to the final chase with a chance to win an equal share of the total prize fund.
01:08And first to face the chaser, it's Yvonne.
01:11Yvonne, welcome to the show.
01:17Caravan warden.
01:18Yes.
01:18What's that?
01:19It's looking after a caravan park and everybody that's on it.
01:26So like holiday caravans?
01:27Yeah, holiday.
01:28Yeah, holiday caravans, camping.

01:31Holiday homes.
01:31Now, if you want some money, Yvonne, what would you do with it?
01:34Do you really want to know?
01:35Yeah, sure.
01:35I would have a gastric band.
01:39Right, right.
01:41And how much is one of them?
01:42It's about 7,000.
01:45How much?
01:46About 7,000.
01:47Is it really?
01:48Can't you just really tie it in an old belt or something?
01:50I can't just sort my mails or something.
01:52Well, I tell you what we'll do then.
01:54Let's see if we can get you that 7K.

03:13Great.
03:14Well, all we've got to do now is keep hold of that money and get it back through to the
03:18final chase.
03:19Yvonne, it's time to face the chaser.
03:21But who will you be up against today?
03:23Will it be Anne Hegarty, the governess?
03:26You know she represents Scotland in the quiz world.
03:29It quizzes.
03:29She does.
03:30Yeah.
03:30And tossing the caber.
03:31Or will it be the big bad beast, Mark Mabette?
03:34He packs a punch like he packs his lunch, and that is massive.
03:38Don't worry about that.
03:39Or will it be top barrister, Sean Wallace, the man who's got everything to play for,
03:44just no one to play with?
03:45Oh, he's so miserable.
03:47So, you ready?
03:49Yes.
03:49It's time to bring on the chaser.
03:54Oh.
03:56It's the Dark Destroyer himself, the barrister, the mastermind champ,
03:59it's old misery guts, it's Sean Wallace.
04:04Good afternoon, Yvonne.
04:05Afternoon, Sean.
04:06That was a slightly nervous start, but you picked up.
04:09You say that you want a gastric band?
04:11Yes.
04:11Don't worry, I'll be here to cut you down to size.
04:14Let's put some money on the table.
04:16There you are.
04:17You've got £6,000, all right?
04:20And if you wish to take a step closer to the home, the chaser will offer you...
04:23£1,000.
04:24However, if you wish to take a step closer to the chaser, he will offer you...
04:28£18,000.
04:29Very nice opening game.
04:31Oh, my God, she says, oh, my God.
04:34Better have a chat with your team, Yvonne.
04:35Okay.
04:37What do you think, guys?
04:39Maybe stay with the six, I would say.
04:41Yeah, I'd say the same, yeah.
04:41You've got a lot of confidence, you can do the six.
04:45Mm, wow, that's a very prudent team, I have to say.
04:49So, I'm going to need a decision from you, Yvonne.
04:52What'll it be?
04:53Stick with the six.
04:54You're going to stick with the six?
04:55Yeah.
04:55Well, fine.
04:56I think that's possibly wise, being the first one out.
04:58Chaser?
04:59Very wise, I think.
05:00But I'm still going to catch you.
05:01Oh, yeah.
05:02Yeah.
05:02We shall see.
05:04Let's get that money home, shall we, Yvonne?
05:06For £6,000, the chase is on.
05:08Wish you luck, here comes your first question.
05:17Which of these peaks is highest?
05:20Is it A, Sleave-Dollard, B, Snowden, or C, Scarfell-Pike?
05:30You put Snowden.
05:33Yeah.
05:34It's quite high.
05:35I don't know anything about them.
05:36Do you?
05:36No, not really, I don't.
05:37Is that a yes?
05:38That's a slight guess.
05:40Correct answer is?
05:43Yes.
05:45The chaser has put?
05:49Yes, he knows his stuff.
05:52Doing great there, first one out.
05:53Good.
05:54That is good.
05:55It's really good.
05:55It's really good.
05:57You've got a bit of a nervous, mad laugh there at the minute, Yvonne.
06:00You'll be fine, you'll be fine, don't worry.
06:03Here's your next question.
06:03Which musical is based on the H.G. Wells novel Kipps?
06:11Is it A, The Student Prince, B, Half a Sixpence, or C, Carousel?
06:16You've put The Student Prince.
06:23Why did you put that?
06:24I'll be honest, I've never heard of it.
06:26I've never heard of Kipps.
06:28Ah.
06:29No.
06:29Right.
06:29Which is a wee bit of a disadvantage.
06:31It is, it is to be fair.
06:32It's the name of the character.
06:34Oh, is it?
06:34Mm-hmm, yeah.
06:35You've put The Student Prince.
06:37Correct answer is...
06:38Half a sixpence.
06:41Tommy Steele.
06:42You stay where you are.
06:43The chaser has put...
06:45Of course, half a sixpence.
06:49That's right.
06:50He played the draper's assistant who came into a fortune.
06:53Yes, indeed.
06:54Here's your next question.
06:55In October 2010, how many miners were rescued from the San Jose mine in Chile?
07:04A, 27.
07:05B, 30.
07:06C, 33.
07:09You've put 33.
07:12I think it's...
07:14I'd say the 30th, 33.
07:16I hope it's 33.
07:18The correct answer is...
07:20B, 30.
07:21Yes, well played, Yvonne.
07:22Well done.
07:23The chaser has put...
07:2733, yeah.
07:29Yeah, and it was called Camp Hope, remember?
07:31Thank you very much.
07:32Of course it was.
07:33Here's your next question.
07:37Which of these tennis stars plays left-handed?
07:40A, Andy Murray.
07:41B, Roger Federer.
07:43C, Rafael Nadal.
07:47You put...
07:50Roger Federer.
07:51Isn't this peculiar?
07:52Now I've watched all of them play.
07:54They have.
07:55And I, for the life of me, I didn't know either of any of them were left-handed.
07:59And no antimony's naught.
08:00No.
08:02It's between Federer and Nadal.
08:05I'm sure it's fair to do.
08:07Come on, Yvonne.
08:08Correct answer is...
08:09Nadal.
08:10Nadal.
08:11Nadal.
08:12Nadal.
08:13Ouch.
08:13Ouch.
08:14Got to stay where we are.
08:15The chaser has put.
08:19Yeah, of course he's put.
08:20Nadal loves his sport.
08:21Yes.
08:22Currently the Olympic champion, and he also won the US Open for the very first time in 2010.
08:27Thank you for that.
08:29Right, Yvonne.
08:30We're in a bit of a pickle.
08:31We are.
08:31Next question coming up.
08:33Come on.
08:33Let's do it.
08:37William Broad is the real name of which singer?
08:41A, Billy Fury.
08:43B, Billy Idol.
08:45C, Billy Joel.
08:46You put.
08:54Billy Fury.
08:55How sure are you of that?
08:57I'm not sure of any of them.
08:59Right.
09:00If it's Billy Fury, we're all right.
09:01If it's wrong, we're in danger of going out.
09:04Is it Billy Fury?
09:08We'll find out after the break.
09:13Welcome back.
09:14Yvonne here from Dumfries is in a bit of a pickle.
09:18Before the break, I asked the question, William Broad is the real name of which singer?
09:23Yvonne said, Billy Fury.
09:25Now, if that's right, we're still in the game.
09:26If it's wrong, of course, well, the chasers have stepped behind us and ready to pounce.
09:32Hmm.
09:33The correct answer is...
09:39Oh, no.
09:42Oh, no.
09:43Oh, Billy Idol.
09:45Right.
09:46We need the chaser to be wrong, and the chaser has put, we'll be wrong.
09:56Oh, Billy Idol.
09:58Oh, I'm so sorry, Yvonne.
10:00I'm so sorry.
10:02Chaser.
10:02You're very unlucky with that last question, actually.
10:04I didn't have actually...
10:05Very unlucky.
10:06I think it's Ron Whitchley is Billy Fury.
10:09Oh, really?
10:10Yeah.
10:11Yvonne, I am so sorry, darling.
10:13However, you have been caught, and for you, the chase is over.
10:18Cheers, Yvonne.
10:18Bye-bye.
10:19Made short work of that, sir.
10:24And I'm going to make short work of the rest of them.
10:26Hmm.

11:00I'd love to go to Australia and New Zealand.
11:03I've got family and friends out there, and I'd love to go and see what the countries are like,

12:55£500.
12:57I'm not sure about that.
12:58If you want to take a step closer to the chaser, he will offer you...
13:00A very inviting £21,000.
13:04Inviting it is as well.
13:05£21,000.

16:34Wow, I'm amazed.
16:35The chaser has put?
16:38One Man and His Dog.
16:39See, he knows everything.
16:41I used to watch it.

17:17Stay there, stay there, mate.
17:19Hey, beat him.
17:20Apart from that lucky guest with Catherine of Alwar, you played very well.
17:24But, you should have gone for the higher offer.
17:27Yeah.
17:28Well done, Richard.
17:28Take your place in the final chase.
17:30Did well, girls, didn't he?

17:40Are you all right?
17:41Yeah, I'm fine, thank you.
17:42Now, I have to say, you look fantastic.
17:44Thank you very much.
17:44I love your outfit.
17:46Sort of 40s and 50s.
17:4740s, yeah, 40s and 50s, yeah.
17:49And that's the sort of thing you're into?
17:51Yeah, I like to dress a little bit retro, yeah.
17:53All right.
17:54If you want some money, what would you spend your winnings on?
17:56I'd take me and my boyfriend on a holiday.
17:58And where would you go?
17:59Oh, anywhere, just as long as it's hot.
18:01It's maybe a Greek island or something like that.
18:03Yeah, cool.
18:04Yeah.
18:04Fair enough.
18:04Well, I wish you luck.
18:05Let's see if we can build up some cash to get you to that Greek island, shall we?

19:18Sarah, it's time to face the chaser.
19:19Good afternoon, Sarah.
19:33Hello.
19:34Now, she must be one of the best-dressed contestants we've ever had on this show.
19:38My sentiments exactly, sir.
19:40You know who she reminds me of?
19:41Dita Von Teese.
19:42Absolutely.
19:43Yeah, I do like the way she dresses very much.
19:45I think you might have a soft spot for her.
19:47I think you might be lenient in this chase.
19:49I don't do soft spots.
19:51Let's put some money on the table.
19:52There it is, 5K.
19:54If you want to take a step closer to home, Sarah, the chaser will offer you...
19:56£500.
19:58£500, OK.
19:59If you want to take a step closer to him, though, he will offer you...
20:02£25,000.
20:04Oh, very nice indeed.
20:06Have a chat with your team.
20:09What do you think?
20:10I'd say stay on the £5,000, but if you don't feel confident, take a step closer to home.
20:14It's left with you.
20:15Yeah.
20:16Yeah, I think it's up to you how you feel.
20:18All right.
20:19But you're certainly doing really well, so...
20:21Yeah, definitely.
20:22OK.
20:23Thank you, team.
20:25Well, as tempted as I am by the £25,000, I'm just going to stick with the £5,000.
20:31You are?
20:32Yes.
20:32That's fine. £5,000 it is.
20:35Chaser?
20:35I'm still going to catch you.
20:37We'll see.
20:37We'll see.
20:38I think the team are playing it very safe.
20:40In fact, Richard, you were sort of giving the advice, go down to the £500.
20:44Depending on how she felt, how confident she felt, really.
20:47Well, that's very magnanimous.
20:49However, got to get past this, yeah?
20:51Yeah.
20:51Sarah, for £5,000, the chase is on.
20:59Good luck to you.
21:00Here comes your first question.
21:01The Caribbean island of Aruba is a self-governing part of which European country?
21:09A, Spain.
21:11B, Portugal.
21:12C, the Netherlands.
21:15You put...
21:17Spain.
21:19Total guess.
21:20Really?
21:20Yeah, don't have a clue.
21:22Correct answer is...
21:24The Netherlands.
21:27You've got to stay where you are.
21:28The Chaser has put...
21:31The Netherlands.
21:32Don't worry, don't worry.
21:33Early days yet.
21:35Here's your next question.
21:36OK.
21:37In the 1990s, the character Chef from South Park had a number one hit with which song?
21:45A, hot, spicy sausage.
21:50B, fresh, juicy melons.
21:52Or C, chocolate, salty balls.
22:02I'm so sorry.
22:03Forgive me.
22:04It's fine.
22:05You put...
22:07Chocolate, salty balls.
22:09Yeah.
22:10Why did you do that?
22:11I just knew the answer.
22:12It definitely is chocolate, salty balls.
22:14It's not fresh, juicy melons.
22:15It's not fresh, juicy melons.
22:16No, it's chocolate, salty balls.
22:24The correct answer is...
22:27Oh, thank goodness for that.
22:29You take a step closer to home.
22:30Yeah.
22:31The Chaser has put...
22:34Yeah, the same thing.
22:37It's sung by Isaac Hayes, the late, great Isaac Hayes.
22:40Oh, good old Isaac.
22:41Yeah.
22:41Here's your next question, quickly.
22:46The term alacracee refers to a dish cooked or garnished with which vegetable?
22:51A, carrot.
22:53B, parsnip.
22:54Or C, beetroot.
22:59You put...
23:01Parsnip.
23:03Do you know this?
23:05No, and I have actually got an A-level in French, so I probably should know it, but I don't.
23:09The correct answer is...
23:11Carrot.
23:12Yeah.
23:13Staying where you are, the Chaser's put.
23:17Yeah, carrot.
23:19Sarah, he's now one step behind us.
23:21Yeah.
23:21Next question coming up.
23:23Come on, let's do it.
23:25In May 1941, the German battleship Bismarck was sunk by torpedoes fired by which Royal Navy vessel?
23:33A, Ark Royal, B, the Dorsetshire, or C, the hood.
23:38You've put...
23:40You've put...
23:42The Ark Royal, because...
23:45I just guessed that one again.
23:47Really?
23:47Yeah.
23:48Not my questions these, I don't think.
23:50It was a big deal in the Second World War, this.
23:52I wasn't there.
23:53No.
23:53Although your dress probably was.
23:55Yes, probably.
23:56To stay in the game, the correct answer is...
23:58The Dorsetshire.
24:02Yeah.
24:03Which means we've got to stay where we are.
24:05If the Chaser is right, we're out of the game.
24:08If he's wrong, we live to fight another day.
24:11Should we see what the Chaser's put?
24:13Yeah.
24:13Right.
24:15After the break, eh?
24:20And welcome back to the chase.
24:21Sarah here in a cracking outfit is in a bit of a dilemma.
24:26Before the break, I asked her the question.
24:28In May 1941, the German battleship Bismarck was sunk by torpedoes from which British ship?
24:35Now, Sarah said that it was the Ark Royal.
24:37The correct answer was Dorsetshire.
24:39And if the Chaser's correct, well, then we're out.
24:44The Chaser has put...
24:52Are you kidding?
24:55How did you get that wrong?
24:57Did you press the wrong button?
24:59I didn't, actually.
25:00I know the Ark Royal itself was around in 1941, and the hood was sunk itself.
25:06But I thought the Ark Royal sunk with Bismarck before it sunk itself.
25:10That's extraordinary.
25:11Live to fight another day.
25:12That's good news.
25:13Next question coming up.
25:15Come on.
25:15Let's do it.
25:17In which country was the author Hans Christian Andersen born?
25:21A. Sweden.
25:22B. Denmark.
25:24C. Norway.
25:26You put...
25:27Denmark.
25:29Yeah.
25:30Happy with that?
25:30Happy with that, yes.
25:32Correct answer is...
25:33Absolutely.
25:36Take a step closer to home.
25:37The Chaser has put...
25:39Of course, Denmark.
25:41Played in the film by...
25:43Danny Kaye.
25:44Yeah, Danny Kaye.
25:45Here's the next question.
25:47Okay.
25:49What is the name of the agent played by the actor Hugo Weaving in the Matrix films?
25:55A. Smith.
25:56B. Jones.
25:58C. Brown.
25:59You put...
26:03Smith.
26:04I have seen The Matrix, but I really wasn't sure on this one at all.
26:09Correct answer is...
26:12Well played.
26:13Smith it is.
26:15The Chaser has put...
26:16Oh, great stuff.
26:22I've never seen a film.
26:24Fantastic.
26:24You've never seen The Matrix.
26:25He's a wonderful actor, Hugo Weaving.
26:27Really, really good.
26:28Here's your next question.
26:32How many prime numbers are on a dartboard?
26:36A. 7.
26:37B. 8.
26:39C. 9.
26:41It's not enough time to work it out.
26:47You put...
26:47No.
26:488.
26:50I'm an English teacher, not a maths teacher.
26:52No, indeed.
26:53Correct answer is...
26:57Oh!
27:008.
27:01That's excellent stuff.
27:02One more question, we're home.
27:02The Chaser has put...
27:05Also 8.
27:07Yes.
27:082, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17 and 19.
27:14Remember, number 2 is the only even prime number.
27:17Here's your next question.
27:19Come on, Sarah.
27:20Let's get out.
27:21Yeah.
27:23In what city is the University of the West of England?
27:26A. Bristol.
27:28B. Exeter.
27:30C. Worcester.
27:32You've put...
27:35Bristol.
27:36Yeah.
27:37Happy with that?
27:37Fairly.
27:38I didn't think it was Exeter.
27:39It could be Worcester.
27:41Correct answer is to go through with 5 grand.
27:47Yes!
27:47Brilliant stuff.
27:48Well played.
27:50Ooh.
27:52You got away there.
27:53It was cool.
27:54Fantastic.
27:55Excellent.
27:56Well played.
27:56Sarah, well, you're through to the final chase.
27:59Well done.
28:00Congratulations.
28:0112 grand in the total prize fund.
28:04Tuck, tuck, tuck, tuck.
28:05Got away with that one there.
28:07Brilliant.
28:07Richard and Sarah are through.
28:09Last to face the chaser.
28:10It's Carol.
28:14Right.
28:15Welcome.
28:16Now, if you want some money, Carol, what would you do with it?
28:19Well, it's going into the 2012 fund, which is to go to the Olympic Games.
28:24Right.
28:25And instead of sitting up at the top on the £20 seats, I want to be down below in the £2,000
28:30seats.
28:30I see.
28:32Very, very good.
28:33Another couple of quid you might even get in the team.
28:36Are you ready?
28:37Are you good at any sports, by the way?
28:39I used to play golf.
28:41Really?
28:41What's your handicap?

29:54Seven grand, though, Carol.
29:56Very, very good indeed.
29:58Let's see if we can get you to the Olympics.
29:59It's time to face the chaser.
30:13Good afternoon, Carol.
30:14Good afternoon, Sean.
30:15That was a very good, steady performance, I thought.
30:18Wants the ticket for the Olympics?
30:19Exactly.
30:20I think yours was a little bit shaky on the last game, you see, so.
30:23Yeah.
30:24Yeah.
30:24So you're in for the high jump.
30:26Hey, let's put some money on the table, Carl.
30:28£7,000.
30:30However, if you want to take a step closer to home, the chaser will offer you.
30:33£100.
30:34But if you want to take a step closer to the chaser and be right next to the action, he will
30:41offer you.
30:42£20,012.
30:46Have a chat to your team, Carl.
30:49Very good.
30:50What do you think, Tim?
30:51Well, you did very well.
30:52You did very well.
30:53You did, yeah.
30:53You did it.
30:53Yeah.
30:54At least stay on the £7,000, I'd say, and depending on how much of a gambler you are, you know,
30:58take a step closer.
30:59Sarah?
31:00At the £100, I would just throw her back in Sean's face, quite frankly.
31:04Yeah, definitely.
31:05Play it safe and maybe stick with the...
31:07Yeah, I think so.
31:08Thanks very much, Sean.
31:09Thank you, Tim.
31:10I'll stay at seven, please.
31:12Yes?
31:13Yes.
31:14So £7,000, it is, Carl, chaser.
31:17I'm disappointed there.
31:18I think you've got a lot to offer.
31:19Should have come a bit closer.
31:20Carl, for £7,000, the chase is on.
31:27I wish you luck.
31:29Here comes your first question.
31:32Django Reinhardt was an acclaimed player of which instrument?
31:36A, guitar, B, piano, C, trumpets?
31:40You put piano.
31:44You know this?
31:45Somewhere at the back of my mind, I think.
31:48I'm not sure.
31:49Correct answer is...
31:51It's guitar.
31:53Staying where you are, the chaser has put...
31:56Yes, guitar, and immediately closes the gap.
32:00I believe you're from Belgium.
32:01I believe Django Reinhardt.
32:02Django Reinhardt.
32:03Here's your next question.
32:04Come on, Carl, let's get them right.
32:05Which American first lady had the middle name Kermit?
32:12A, Lucretia Garfield.
32:14B, Martha Jefferson.
32:17Or C, Edith Roosevelt.
32:18You put...
32:23Edith Roosevelt.
32:25Do you know this?
32:26No idea.
32:27Why would you call someone Kermit?
32:31Edith Roosevelt.
32:33Hmm.
32:33However, correct answer is...
32:36What a great guess.
32:39Right, it's a step closer to home.
32:41The chaser has put...
32:45Edith Roosevelt, which of course is the correct answer.
32:47Kermit, what's all that about?
32:48It was her middle name apparently.
32:50Wife of Theodore.
32:51Incredible.
32:52Here's the next question.
32:56The Queen's Diamond Jubilee will be celebrated in what year?
33:00A, 2012, B, 2015, C, 2018.
33:10You put...
33:122012.
33:14Same year as the Olympics, of course.
33:15Oh no, of course it's...
33:17I was thinking of the accession to the throne.
33:20But it's a wedding, isn't it?
33:21So it would be 2018.
33:24Correct answer is...
33:27Absolutely.
33:28See, you doubt yourself when you're standing here.
33:31Absolutely.
33:32Step closer to home.
33:33The chaser has put...
33:352012.
33:37Yeah, it will be on the 6th of February
33:38when she acceded to the throne.
33:40Right.
33:41So that's the accession day every year.
33:43Yeah.
33:44February 6th.
33:45And so what that was...
33:46The accession day was then 1952?
33:48That's correct.
33:49That's when sadly King George VI died
33:51and she was in Kenya at the time
33:53when she received the news
33:55and she was crowned on the 2nd of June 1953.
33:57Thank you very much indeed, Chaser.
34:00Here's your next question.
34:03Where was former West Indian cricketer
34:06Brian Lara born?
34:07A. Jamaica
34:08B. Trinidad
34:09C. Antigua
34:10You put...
34:14Jamaica.
34:16Somewhere in the Caribbean.
34:18I thought it was Barbados.
34:19Yeah.
34:19Correct answer is...
34:22Trinidad.
34:26Staying where we are.
34:28He's going to know this.
34:29The chaser has put...
34:32Yeah.
34:34Absolutely he knew it.
34:35Yeah, I'm one behind you now.
34:36Yeah, closing the gap.
34:38Right, Carol.
34:38Three rights and we're through.
34:40Let's get cracky.
34:41Here's your next question.
34:42The 2010 duet by Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow
34:49was called what?
34:50A. Blame
34:51B. Fame
34:52C. Shame
34:54You put...
34:57Shame.
34:59Happy with that?
35:01Could be.
35:02I'll tell you in a minute.
35:03Have you heard it?
35:03Yeah.
35:04Yeah.
35:05Correct answer is...
35:07Good.
35:08We're up and running.
35:08Two from home.
35:09Chaser has put...
35:12Yeah, shame.
35:14And remains that one step behind us.
35:16Got to get away.
35:17Here's your next question.
35:20What is the name of the dog in the musical Annie?
35:23A. Sandy
35:24B. Charlie
35:25C. Benji
35:26You put...
35:29Sandy.
35:31Part guess.
35:33Part in the back of my mind.
35:34Okay.
35:35Got to be right.
35:36Correct answer is...
35:37Well played.
35:39One from home.
35:41The chaser has put...
35:44Yes, he even knows his musicals.
35:47And it was written by Harold Gray.
35:49Ah, thank you very much for that.
35:51Right then, one more.
35:52I did say we've got to get three right on the bounce.
35:55We'll be fine.
35:56Just concentrate and focus on this last question.
35:58Here it is.
35:59Whose novel, The Rotter's Club, was made into a TV drama in 2005?
36:09A. Graham Swift
36:10B. Jonathan Coe
36:12C. Stephen Fry
36:14It's a tough question to get out on this.
36:20You put...
36:21Steve Fry
36:23I've got no idea.
36:25No, I guess.
36:25Me neither.
36:27Oh, we want this to be right.
36:29For £7,000.
36:30Take our total prize fund up to £19,000.
36:33That would be nice.
36:36You've put Steve Fry to go through with £7,000.
36:38And the correct answer is...
36:41Jonathan Coe.
36:43Ouch.
36:43Got to stay where we are.
36:45He's made some mistakes before.
36:46He might make another one.
36:47You know so.
36:48The chaser has put...
36:54Oh, he's put Graham Swift.
36:58Whoa.
36:59I nearly put Graham Swift as well.
37:01Another one you've got wrong there.
37:03Right.
37:04Carl, come on.
37:05Let's get this right.
37:06Here's the next question.
37:07That was a let-off, I tell you.
37:11Which of these measurements is equal to a kilometre?
37:16A. 0.713 miles
37:19B. 1,094 yards
37:23Or C. 5,280 feet
37:28You put...
37:340.713 miles
37:36Why'd you put that?
37:37I really don't know.
37:39Um, I know, isn't it sort of eight kilometres to five miles or something like that?
37:43And I couldn't work the others out anyway, so...
37:45Oh, I hope you're right.
37:48Correct answer is...
37:49Come on, Carol.
37:50Oh, man.
37:51Oh, man.
37:52It's me gone.
37:53You don't know.
37:54You're staying there at the moment with 7,000 pounds.
37:56The chaser has put...
37:57It's a tough question, this.
38:02Right, with 1,094 yards.
38:06How did you work that out so quick?
38:17Actually, it's something that I did know because there's a table which I see the conversion which I've read in a science book, but you were very unlucky with that question.
38:25Yeah, really.
38:26You know, almost got home, but you played very well, Carol.
38:29But I said I was going to catch you, and I did.
38:31You did.
38:32Well done.
38:33Carol, I am so sorry.
38:34For you, the chase is over.
38:36Thank you very much.
38:36Bye-bye.
38:37Bye-bye.
38:37No chance to work that out, really, in that amount of time.
38:44No, but I did know that one.
38:45If you didn't know, yeah, you knew that one.
38:46I felt very sorry for Carol.
38:48Five seconds is not enough time to work it out.
38:51But one thing we can work out, of course, is Richard and Sarah have made it through to the final chase.
38:56Total price fund of 12 grand.
38:58Can they take home six grand each?
39:01Come back and find out after the break.
39:06Welcome back.
39:07Two players, Richard and Sarah, have made it through to the final chase.
39:10Total price fund of £12,000.
39:13Now, on the buzzer and against the clock, the team must answer as many questions as they can.
39:18Each right answer, of course, taking them a step further away from the chaser.
39:21Then, the chaser will have the same amount of time to try and catch the team.
39:24If he does, they will go home with nothing.
39:26If he doesn't, they go home with £6,000 each.
39:30That would be great, wouldn't it?
39:32It would be lovely.
39:33Yeah, wonderful.
39:34I wish you luck, all right?
39:35Two of you have made it through to the final chase.
39:37You've got an automatic two-step head start on our chaser.
39:39They're going to come at you thick and fast, guys, so please focus.
39:43Your time starts now.
