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. The chaser. The 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.
00:30Do they? Let's meet the team.
00:31I'm Martin. I'm 30. I'm a school behaviour manager from Tunworth.
00:35I'm Karen. I'm 55. And I'm a shopkeeper from the Isle of Wight.
00:40I'm Rob. I'm 54. I'm a Royal Mail manager from Wiltshire.
00:44I'm Judith. I'm 58. I'm a retired midwife from Huddersfield.
00:48So there they are. Now one by one, they'll try to bring as much money as they can down the table and into the team prize fund.
00:54But 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.
01:01And they will go through to the final chase with the chance to win an equal share of the total prize fund.
01:06And first to face the chaser, it's Martin.
01:12Welcome. Afternoon, Brad.
01:13Now, a school behaviour manager.
01:16That's right.
01:17Right. Tell me what that is.
01:18Basically, Bradley, I run an isolation room in a high school.
01:21So I'm dealing with the disaffected, troubled youngsters of our fine society, I guess.
01:27Well, it sounds like you've got absolutely the right credentials to be on this show and take on a chaser to me.
01:31Like a Mickey Mouse to me, these lot. No worries.
01:33This is the sort of contestant I love.
01:36Here we are. Here's your first hurdle though, Martin. I wish you luck.
01:39It's quickfire questions against the clock.
01:41Each correct answer is worth £1,000.
01:42I wish you luck.
01:43Your time starts now.
01:46The Kirk is an informal name for what national church?
01:49Pass.
01:50Church of Scotland.

02:03Tree of Assay.
02:04Warsaw Pact.
02:06The Queen, Worker and Drone are types of what insect?
02:08Beetle.
02:09Wrong. It's bees.

02:42Hugh Grant.
02:42Correct.
02:43Earth is an anagram of what organ of the body?
02:45Er, heart.
02:47Time's up, unfortunately.
02:48Heart is correct, but your time's up.
02:50Martin, you start out with £4,000.
02:52It's time to face the chaser, but who, Martin, will he be up against today?
02:57Will it be Anne Hegarty, the lady who's keeping up appearances as one of the Gestapo, or will
03:03it be Mark Lebet?
03:04He's the beast, unless you're in one of his maths classes, then he's Sir Beast.
03:10Or will it be Sean Wallace, mastermind winner and all-round quiz boffin?
03:15He really is a one-man bland.
03:18Right, who do you fancy taking on?
03:19You could take them all on, couldn't you?
03:21Er, I quite fancy Anne, literally.
03:23Er, you know, I quite like to see a little twinkle in her eye, but, er, we'll see.
03:27We'll see.
03:27Er, we'll find out.
03:30Good luck with this, because it's time to bring on the chaser.
03:36Oh, it is as well.
03:39Come on.
03:40Fantastic.
03:41Come on.
03:42It's the governor herself.
03:43It's Anne Hegarty.
03:47Hello, Martin.
03:48Afternoon, ma'am.
03:49Well, I do rather prefer to be floated with by people who get more than four answers right.
03:53Just warming up, Tweetheart.
03:55Let's put some money on the table.
03:56Well, as always, there you are, three steps ahead of our chaser.
03:59If you wish to take a step closer to home, the chaser will offer you...
04:02£500.
04:04But if you want to take a step closer to the chaser, she will offer you...
04:07£18,000.
04:09Lovely.
04:10Have a chat with your team.
04:12What do you reckon, guys?
04:14£18,000's a nice sum, but that's down to you, mate, to make the decision.
04:18Didn't do too well on the cash builder, though.
04:21If you want to say where you are, at least we guarantee you should be back with us.
04:24What do you reckon, Judy?
04:25Do you want to go for it?
04:26I think you might be better sticking with the £4,000.
04:29Thank you, team.
04:30Different game now, Martin.
04:31Yeah.
04:32Not like the cash builder.
04:33That's not a fair reflection on your ability.
04:37Appreciate the £18,000 offer, Anne, but I think I'll stay where I am.
04:40Thank you very much.
04:41Thank you very much.
04:42£4,000 it is.
04:43Chaser.
04:44Well, clearly nobody back there has actually got any faith in you.
04:47They're all right.
04:48Perhaps you want to prove them wrong.
04:50Maybe.
04:50Right, let's bring that money home.
04:52For £4,000, Martin, the chase is on.
04:59Good luck to you.
04:59Here comes the first question.
05:02Mount McKinley is the highest peak in which country?
05:06A, Australia.
05:08B, Canada.
05:09C, the USA.
05:11You put.
05:14Canada.
05:15Yeah, it's not the USA.
05:18Bit of a punt on Canada.
05:19Don't know for sure.
05:20What's the highest peak in the USA then?
05:22Don't think it's that.
05:23No.
05:23Correct answer is.
05:27Okay.
05:28Staying where you are straight away.
05:29The chaser has put.
05:33Yes, and comes immediately onto the table.
05:36Here's your next question.
05:39The film Bright Young Things is an adaptation of which Evelyn Waugh novel?
05:45A, decline and fall.
05:47B, vile bodies.
05:49C, a handful of dust.
05:53You put.
05:58Decline and fall.
06:00No idea, brothers.
06:01No.
06:02No idea, pal.
06:02The correct answer is.
06:07Once again.
06:08Got to stay where we are.
06:09Don't worry, all is not lost.
06:11The chaser has put.
06:15Vile bodies.
06:16So thankfully we didn't go for the higher amount.
06:19Otherwise we would be out.
06:21They're all Evelyn Waugh novels.
06:24And I think Bright Young Things was a film directed by Stephen Fry.
06:27Stephen Fry, it was indeed.
06:29Right, so off the bat, straight away for the chaser means we've got to start answering and quickly.
06:33Come on, Martin, let's concentrate.
06:34Here we go.
06:35Here's your next question.
06:35Francois Pienaar is a famous name in what sport?
06:41A, rugby.
06:42B, football.
06:43C, cricket.
06:46You put rugby.
06:50It's definitely not football.
06:53I do have an inkling towards cricket.
06:54I think he might be a South African rugby player.
06:56There is a Pienaar.
06:57The place for Everton.
06:58Right.
06:58I do know something.
06:59It's good.
07:01Correct answer is.
07:03Great, we're up and running.
07:05Correct answer is indeed rugby.
07:07The chaser's put.
07:10Yes, knows their sport as well.
07:12Yes, I believe he comes into the film Invictus.
07:16Because I think he was the captain of the South African rugby side that won the World Cup in 95.
07:23Thank you very much.
07:24Here's your next question.
07:26The washing care label of a triangle with a cross over it tells you what?
07:32A, do not bleach.
07:34B, do not tumble dry.
07:36C, do not iron.
07:39You put.
07:41Do not iron.
07:42I need to try and get myself over the 21st century man, don't I, yeah?
07:46I do, but it's a tough one nonetheless.
07:49Not sure.
07:49Correct answer is.
07:53Do not bleach.
07:55Got to stay where you are.
07:56If the chaser's got this right, we're out.
07:58This has got to be wrong.
08:00The chaser has put.
08:07Do not bleach.
08:09It's an early exit.
08:10I'm so sorry.
08:11Chaser.
08:12Yes, I'm sorry.
08:13That was such a girl's question.
08:15Thank you very much, Martin, but I'm sorry you have been caught.
08:18And for you, the chase is over.
08:19Thanks, mate.
08:21Wow, that was quick.
08:23It was.
08:24He tried very hard, but detention for him, I'm afraid.
08:27The governess is off to a good start.
08:29Can Karen do any better?
08:31Find out after the break.
08:32Welcome back.
08:36Next to Face the Chaser, it's Karen.
08:38Hi, Karen.
08:39Hi, Bradley.
08:39Specialist subjects, Karen.
08:41I like reading, so books and that sort of thing.
08:45Literature.
08:45Bit of art.
08:46A little bit of art.
08:47Yeah.
08:48I'm very fond of animals, so anything in that direction.
08:51What would you do with the money if you won it?
08:53It'd be nice to take my mum and my husband on a nice holiday.
08:56Fantastic.
08:56And where would you go?
08:57What would be your holiday destination?
08:58Oh, I really don't know.
08:59I'd wait for something very exotic, I think.
09:01Go on a cruise.
09:01Would you go on a cruise?
09:02Yeah.
09:02Sounds good.
09:03I love cruising.
09:04Anyway, here we go.
09:05Quickfire questions against the clock.
09:06I wish you luck.
09:07Your time starts now.
09:10Which band's 2010 reunion tour saw Mick Hucknall replace original frontman Rod Stewart?

10:13£9,000.
10:15Absolutely first class.
10:17Well done you.
10:18All we've got to do now is keep hold of that money.
10:20It's time, Karen, to face the chaser.
10:22Right.
10:22Hello, Karen.
10:37Good day, Madam Chaser.
10:39Look at you, all quiet and meek in your little pink tunic.
10:43And you're actually a quiz demon, aren't you?
10:46I wouldn't want to try to upset you, madam.
10:49Oh, really?
10:50Money on the table, Karen.
10:51Three steps ahead of the chaser.
10:53There you are.
10:53Nine grand.
10:55If you want to take a step closer to home, the chaser will offer you £1,000.
10:59£1,000.
11:00OK.
11:01If you want to take a step closer to the chaser, she will offer you £27,000.
11:06Nice.
11:07Have a chat with your team.
11:10Nice.
11:11What do you think, folks?
11:12Karen, absolutely fantastic in the first round.
11:15I think you could go all the way here.
11:17Judith.
11:18Well, you did brilliantly.
11:19You did really, really well, but it's up to you.
11:21I mean, £9,000 is a lot of money as well, so...
11:25Right.
11:25Thank you, team.
11:27But, Karen, it is your decision.
11:29Oh, big sigh.
11:30Well, I might be risking the divorce, but £27,000 is my lucky number.
11:36Come on!
11:37£27,000.
11:39Brilliant.
11:40Excellent.
11:41Yeah.
11:41I do look forward to this.
11:43Yeah, yeah.
11:44A bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing, you are.
11:47I think there's a bit of a wolf catcher at the top of the mountain there.
11:51Well, for £27,000, the chase is on.
12:00Ah, brilliant.
12:01I wish you luck.
12:02Here comes your first question.
12:05The birthday of which member of the royal family is celebrated on June the 10th?
12:11A. Duke of Edinburgh.
12:13B. Prince Charles.
12:15C. Queen Elizabeth II.
12:18You put...
12:20Queen Elizabeth II.
12:23Happy with that?
12:24Not really, but it's close to there.
12:27She has two births a year, doesn't she?
12:29That must have been a long labour when she was born.
12:31Correct answer is, oh, please beat the Queen.
12:37Duke of Edinburgh, ouch.
12:38All right, we've got to stay where we are.
12:40The chaser has put.
12:44Yeah, Duke of Edinburgh.
12:45When's the Queen's then?
12:46The Queen's birthday is the 21st of April.
12:49Funny, because I always thought the Queen was born in June.
12:51It's her official birthday.
12:52Why does the Queen have two birthdays?
12:55Her father, King George VI, his birthday was in December.
12:59And they felt that if they had the troop in the colour in December, it was probably going to be snowing.
13:05So they decided they would move it to June and pretend he had an extra birthday.
13:09Oh, I see.
13:11Here's the next question.
13:11I've got to get this right, Karen.
13:16Yeah.
13:16Amino acids are the fundamental constituents of which food group?
13:22A. Fat.
13:23B. Protein.
13:25C. Carbohydrate.
13:28You've put.
13:30Protein.
13:32Once again, I might have made a mistake.
13:34The correct answer is...
13:37Well played.
13:39Protein is indeed the right answer.
13:40The chaser has put.
13:45Protein.
13:45And remains that one step behind us.
13:47We'll move straight on to the next question.
13:50Here we go.
13:53Who starred in the films A Night in Casablanca and Horse Feathers?
13:58Is it A. Charlie Chaplin, B. Laurel and Hardy, or C. The Marx Brothers?
14:05You put.
14:07The Marx Brothers.
14:09Fairly confident on that one.
14:11Yeah.
14:12I love The Marx Brothers.
14:14Correct answer is...
14:17Brilliant.
14:18Brilliant.
14:19Step closer to home.
14:20Well played.
14:21The chaser has put...
14:22Also, The Marx Brothers.
14:25Wonderful films.
14:27Make me laugh a lot.
14:28I love them.
14:29Horse Feathers is one of the early ones, and it's actually one of the ones made without Margaret
14:32Dumont.
14:33Ah.
14:34Instead, they had a rather random blonde called Thelma Todd.
14:37I love the Marx Brothers.
14:38Chico, Harpo, Groucho, and Skid.
14:44Here's your next question.
14:47How many black keys are on a standard piano?
14:51A.
14:5224.
14:52B.
14:5330.
14:54C.
14:5536.
14:56You've put.
14:5936.
15:01It's 88 keys in total.
15:04I'm not sure how many are black.
15:06Correct answer is...
15:08Well played.
15:1236 it is.
15:13Well worked out.
15:14The chaser's put.
15:15Right.
15:18Right.
15:20Here's your next question.
15:24Who recorded the official song of the 2010 World Cup?
15:30A.
15:30Shakira.
15:31B.
15:32Beyonce.
15:33C.
15:34Madonna.
15:36You put.
15:39Shakira.
15:40What do you think?
15:41I'm really not sure.
15:42No, me neither.
15:43I'm sure it wasn't Madonna, but I'm not sure between the other two.
15:47But it couldn't have been Madonna because she was busy managing Argentina.
15:50Well, there you go.
15:52Correct answer is...
15:55Yes.
15:57Get in.
15:58Well done, Karen.
15:59The chaser has put...
16:01How do you know that stuff?
16:05It's amazing what sticks when you just watch enough pop TV.
16:09It's wrong, you know, in stuff like that.
16:11It's just wrong.
16:13Two from home, Karen.
16:14We're doing great.
16:15We're on a roll.
16:15Here's your next question.
16:16Come on.
16:18In which county did the great train robbery of 1963 take place?
16:24Was it A.
16:24Hertfordshire, B.
16:26Buckinghamshire, or C.
16:28Bedfordshire?
16:30I could be blown this.
16:32Let's see what you've put.
16:33You put...
16:35Hertfordshire.
16:37I think that was more partisan than knowledge.
16:40Really?
16:40I did have a bit of a feeling before it came up, but I don't think so.
16:45I think it was Hertfordshire.
16:47The correct answer is...
16:51Buckinghamshire.
16:53I think they got caught in Bedfordshire in the end, didn't they?
16:56Didn't they?
16:56It was all around that area.
16:58I thought they ended up in Bedfordshire in a farm in Bedfordshire.
17:00I'm, you know, it's tough.
17:02We need the chaser to be wrong.
17:04The chaser has put...
17:05to stay in the game for £27,000.
17:10Oh, she's got it wrong.
17:13The reason that I was avoiding Buckinghamshire was that I thought that that was where the farm was.
17:18Ah.
17:18Leather Slade Farm.
17:20Yeah.
17:20I'm still not sure where it was.
17:22Bedfordshire.
17:22I'm pretty sure it was Bedfordshire.
17:24Yeah.
17:24That was a reprieve, Karen.
17:26Got to get this right.
17:27Here's your next question.
17:28If you landed at Arlanda Airport, which capital city would you be in?
17:37A. Copenhagen.
17:39B. Stockholm.
17:40C. Oslo.
17:44You've put...
17:46Copenhagen.
17:49Total guess.
17:51Right.
17:53I wish you luck.
17:54The correct answer is...
17:56I'll be right.
17:58Stockholm.
18:01All right.
18:01We've got to stay where we are.
18:03If the chaser's right, we're going out.
18:05The chaser has put...
18:11Oh, got it wrong again.
18:13Two on the bounce.
18:14I knew it wasn't Copenhagen.
18:17Two on the bounce.
18:18Because that ends in UP, Kastrup, or something like that.
18:23And I just couldn't remember which of the other two it was.
18:25Oh, we've been so lucky with two escapes.
18:27Those two...
18:28If we'd have got those two questions right, we'd have been home now.
18:31Here's your next question.
18:36The single creep features on which Radiohead album?
18:41A. Pablo Honey.
18:43A. B. The Benz.
18:45C. OK Computer.
18:49You put...
18:50Pablo Honey.
18:52That's going to be a guess, isn't it?
18:54That's definitely a guess.
18:55I don't...
18:56You're not very good on Radiohead.
18:57Me neither.
18:58The correct answer is...
19:02No.
19:05Unbelievable.
19:06Great stuff.
19:07One question to go.
19:08Come on.
19:09The chaser has put...
19:11Oh, be wrong.
19:15Oh, how did you know that?
19:17I told you.
19:18Pop TV.
19:19You have to learn a lot of stuff you don't really want to know.
19:23Right.
19:23Karen.
19:24You're one question away from going through with 27 grand.
19:27Let's do it.
19:29You ready?
19:29Yeah.
19:30Come on.
19:31Here's your next question.
19:32Please be kind.
19:33Please be kind.
19:36What is the young of a whale called?
19:38A. Calf.
19:40B. Kid.
19:41C. Whelp.
19:44You have put...
19:46Calf.
19:47Are you happy with that?
19:48I'm very happy with that.
19:49Are you really?
19:50Yeah.
19:50Come on.
19:51The correct answer is for 27 grand.
19:53Bring it on.
19:57Get in.
19:58Well played, Karen.
20:00What a chase.
20:04What a chase.
20:05Should have caught you.
20:06You should have.
20:07I may regret that.
20:08Good opponent.
20:09And very brave.
20:10Absolutely.
20:10Very brave.
20:1127,000 pounds, Karen.
20:12Thanks, mate.
20:13Go and take your seat in the final chase.
20:15There you are.
20:16Very good.
20:18Mind you, she looks so exhausted.
20:19She does.
20:20You wonder how much use she's going to be in the final chase.
20:22She does look so exhausted.
20:23She's only 24.
20:26Next to face the chaser is Rob.
20:28Welcome, Rob.
20:33Hi, Brad.
20:33You all right?
20:34Oh, after that.
20:35I know.
20:36It's exciting, isn't it?
20:37It was.
20:38Really, really good.
20:39And brilliant because, you know, Karen went for it.
20:42She said, 27's my lucky number.
20:44I've got to go for it.
20:44What's your lucky number?
20:46About 50.
20:51Fantastic.
20:52I wish you luck.
20:53Quick wide questions against the clock.
20:55Good luck, mate.

21:55Correct.
21:56The Surrender of Breda and the Rokeby Venus are works by which Spanish painter?
22:02It would have been Velasquez, but we were out of time.
22:04£7,000 though, Rob.
22:06That's very good.
22:07Happy with that?
22:08Very happy with that, thank you.
22:09Good.
22:09It's time to face the chaser.
22:11Hello, Rob.
22:26Hello, Anne.
22:27How are you?
22:27I'm very well, thank you.
22:29My favourite actress in the Marx Brothers movies was Margaret Rutherford.
22:33No, Duvont.
22:34And you do have a look about her.
22:36I do, don't I?
22:37Yeah.
22:37I thought she was quite glamorous, actually.
22:38Yes.
22:39And a bit like Margaret Rutherford as well.
22:41Yeah.
22:41Here's some money on the table.
22:44There you go.
22:45What about that?
22:46£7,000.
22:47Very good.
22:48If you want to take a step closer to home, the chaser will offer you?
22:50Your lucky number.
22:52£50.
22:53Oh, is this going to happen?
22:57However, if you want to take a step closer to the chaser, she will offer you £21,000.
23:03Oh, I thought you were going to offer £50,000 then.
23:05£21,000 it is.
23:07Have a chat with your team.
23:09Okay, guys.
23:11Well, it's up to you and you know how you feel, but it's doable.
23:15Judith.
23:16Are you feeling brave?
23:17That's the thing.
23:18Well, if I get up at £34, it's a lot of money.
23:22It is.
23:22It is.
23:22Yeah.
23:23Thank you, team.
23:24Okay, cheers.
23:26Your decision, Rob, what are you going to do?
23:29I'm not going to be brave.
23:31I'm going to stick at seven.
23:32Are you?
23:32Yeah.
23:33That's fine.
23:33Staying at seven is good.
23:34Chaser.
23:35Better than going down to 50.
23:36Yes, it certainly is, Anne.
23:38For £7,000, the chase is on.
23:45Good luck, mate.
23:46Here comes your first question.
23:50Which Jane Austen novel was originally called
23:52First Impressions?
23:54A, Northanger Abbey, B, Mansfield Park, C, Pride and Prejudice.
24:01You put Pride and Prejudice.
24:09Happy with that?
24:10I could have been any one of the three.
24:12Correct answer is, well played.
24:17It is indeed, Pride and Prejudice, step closer to home.
24:19The chase is put.
24:22Yeah, also Pride and Prejudice.
24:24Well, that was a very lucky guess, because first impressions is what Pride and Prejudice is about.
24:28Well done, Rob.
24:29We're off to a good start.
24:30Here's your next question.
24:34What name was given to the German operation of World War II, which involved the production of fake British banknotes?
24:41A, Operation Klausowicz, B, Operation Bernhardt, or C, Operation Schultz?
24:48You put Bernhardt, you know this?
24:55Just fancy pressing B, really.
24:58The correct answer is...
25:01Oh, is that a guess, really?
25:04Yeah.
25:04Very, very good.
25:05Chaser has put...
25:09Oh, get in.
25:12Operation Schultz.
25:13Kuching.
25:14I'm afraid I was misled by the fact that there was an absolutely wonderful mini-series called Private Schultz, which was about exactly that operation.
25:23Really?
25:24Yes, there was.
25:25It had Michael Elphick and Ian Richardson, I think.
25:28Great stuff.
25:29Here is your next question.
25:34In Roman numerals, what is the answer to the sum XXIV plus XVI?
25:41Is it A, XL, B, LX, or C, XC?
25:51You put LX.
25:55Wrong way, I think.
25:56XXIV is...
25:5924.
26:0024 plus XVI, which is...
26:0316.
26:0316 is...
26:0540.
26:0540.
26:06What's LX?
26:07I thought it was 40, but I think I'm wrong.
26:11You do?
26:12Yeah.
26:12Yeah.
26:13Correct answer is...
26:16XL.
26:18So 50 is L.
26:20Yeah.
26:20But the X going before means takeaway.
26:22Gotcha.
26:24The chaser's put...
26:26Yeah.
26:29Mark has been teaching me some maths.
26:31The beast himself.
26:33Even mentioned when he's not here.
26:35Here's your next question.
26:36Of whose performance in the play The Lake did Dorothy Parker say she ran the whole gamut
26:46of emotions from A to B?
26:48Was it A, Elizabeth Taylor?
26:50B, Katharine Hepburn?
26:52C, Audrey Hepburn?
26:56You put...
26:58Katharine Hepburn.
27:00Dorothy Parker.
27:01She could have said it about anybody.
27:02Katharine Hepburn, you know, she sort of ran the same emotions all the time.
27:08You know, maybe.
27:09Okay.
27:10Correct answer is...
27:12Well played.
27:15Two steps from home.
27:16The chaser has put...
27:18Yes, knew it.
27:21Yes, Dorothy Parker wasn't gratuitously rude.
27:23I mean, she'd say things like that if she meant it.
27:26And as you said, Katharine Hepburn did have a rather limited range of emotions.
27:32At least, that's how she saw it.
27:34Here's the next question.
27:35Mark Bolan was the lead singer of which group?
27:40A, ZZ Top, B, 10CC, C, T-Rex.
27:45You put...
27:47T-Rex.
27:49Yeah.
27:49I knew him as Tyrannosaurus Rex.
27:51Yeah, exactly.
27:52Correct answer is...
27:55Yeah, T-Rex.
27:56Of course it is.
27:57One question from home.
27:58Brilliant.
27:59The chaser has put...
28:02Yeah, T-Rex.
28:04That's our generation, isn't it, Rob?
28:05It is, really, yeah.
28:06Well, that leaves us with 7,000 pounds and a few spaces between us and the chaser,
28:12which begs the question, should we have gone for 21?
28:17I'm not greedy.
28:20Sometimes, Rob, you've got to push the boat out, I know.
28:23Here's what I'm hoping is going to be your last question.
28:25Here it is.
28:28What's the name of the pub in Hollyoaks?
28:31Is it A, the lion?
28:32B, the dog?
28:32C, the bull.
28:35You've put...
28:37The bull.
28:38I haven't got a clue.
28:39Me neither.
28:41Ever seen Hollyoaks?
28:42Never.
28:42Me neither.
28:43Correct answer is...
28:44For seven grand...
28:47The dog.
28:49Staying where we are.
28:50She's done Radiohead and everything today.
28:52She's not also going to be a Hollyoaks fan.
28:54It'll be extraordinary if she is.
28:56The chaser has put...
28:59Carby.
29:00The bull, yeah.
29:03I just thought it sounded like a plausible name for a pub.
29:05Here's the next question.
29:09What is the smallest cathedral in England?
29:12A, Norwich Cathedral.
29:13B, Oxford Cathedral.
29:15C, Canterbury Cathedral.
29:20Chaser looked a bit pensive when she was answering that question.
29:22Did you notice that?
29:23I did, I did.
29:23So, did you try and put her under a bit of pressure?
29:26No.
29:27I think I'm fairly confident on this one.
29:29Are you?
29:30You've put...
29:31Oxford Cathedral.
29:34Yeah, happy with that?
29:35I don't think they've got one now.
29:36Come to think of it.
29:37We shall see.
29:38We shall see.
29:39Correct answer is for seven grand.
29:41Come on, Rob.
29:42Yes, get in there.
29:47Another one slipped through in there.
29:50The icy fingers of old frosty dickers lets one slip through again.
29:55It's the chapel of one of the colleges.
29:57I think it may be Christchurch.
29:59Ah, did you know that bit?
30:00Yes.
30:01Good, man.
30:02And I'm glad you're through to the final chase.
30:03Thank you, Bradley.
30:04Taking place next to Karen.
30:06Very good.
30:0734 grand, ma'am.
30:09That's just hope that Judith keeps up the standard.
30:12Yes, indeed.
30:13Can Judith add any more?
30:15See if we can get up to 100 grand.
30:17That'd be nice.
30:18See you in a bit.
30:21Welcome back.
30:23Last to face the chaser, it's Judith.
30:25Well, Judith, welcome.
30:27How are you feeling?
30:30I've got a lot to live up to, haven't I?
30:32Well, yeah, you have.
30:33But wonderful footsteps to follow in, that's for sure.
30:35You're from Huddersfield?
30:36That's right.
30:37And a retired midwife.
30:38Yes.
30:39And how much would you look to win?
30:40Well, it's very hard, this quiz, and I have no expectations.
30:45All right, OK.
30:46So I'm just going to do my best.
30:47Yeah, just do your best.
30:49Let's get over this hurdle first.
30:50Quickfire questions against the clock.
30:52I wish you luck.
30:53Judith, your time starts now.
30:56What's the name of the sticky surface on a plant's pistil that receives pollen?
31:00Stamen.
31:01No, stigma.
31:02The seaside resort of South End is in what county?

31:31Luxembourg.

31:38Rachel.

31:45Us.
31:46The Obamas.
31:47What coffee's name is Italian for pressed out?
31:51Arabi.
31:52No.
31:53Espresso.
31:54In the nursery rhyme, hey, diddle, diddle.
31:56Who did the dish run away with?
31:57The spoon.
31:58Yes, but just out of time.
32:00£6,000 though, Judith.
32:02Happy with that?
32:03Not so bad.
32:04Oh, I think you should be very happy with that.
32:06It's time to face the chaser.
32:07Hello, Judith.
32:23Hello.
32:24There's a pattern developing, isn't there?
32:26Mousy-looking little women who turn out to be frighteningly good at quizzing.
32:29All right, all right.
32:31Let's put it on the table.
32:326,000 smackeroonies.
32:34If you want to take a step closer to home, Judith, the chaser will offer you minus 1,000.
32:40Oh, ooh, ooh, missus.
32:43But if you want to take a step closer to the chaser, she will offer you 16,000.
32:48Wow.
32:49Better have a chat with your team, Judith.
32:51Right.
32:53What do you think?
32:54My new lucky number is 40.
32:56Anne's been getting a few wrong.
32:57She might be a little bit rattled, but 40 is good.
33:01We just need you here for that last round.
33:03Right.
33:04Thank you, team.
33:06Judith, what's your decision?
33:08I'm just going to go for the 6,000.
33:10Fine.
33:11Not taking the easy option of the minus 1,000.
33:14It's lovely.
33:15Yes, I'm very glad you didn't take that one.
33:17Yeah.
33:17Judith, for 6,000 pounds, the chase is on.
33:21Good luck to you.
33:27Here comes your first question.
33:31Which US president was known as the Bull Moose?
33:35A, Ulysses S. Grant.
33:37B, Theodore Roosevelt.
33:40C, Bill Clinton.
33:45You put Grant.
33:49Happy with that?
33:50I don't know.
33:51That's a guess.
33:52Right.
33:53Let's get out of our misery.
33:54The correct answer is...
33:57OK.
33:58Unlucky.
33:59Teddy Roosevelt.
34:00Staying where we are.
34:01The chaser has put...
34:03Yeah.
34:05Knows that stuff.
34:06I can't remember why he was called that.
34:08Hmm.
34:09Funny name.
34:10Here's the next question.
34:11Let's start getting them right.
34:12Come on.
34:13What is Denzel's occupation in Only Fools and Horses?
34:19A, lorry driver.
34:20B, road sweep.
34:21C, market trader.
34:23C, market trader.
34:24You put...
34:26Road sweeper.
34:28Denzel was played by Paul Barber, I think, if I'm correct.
34:33I don't think it's right, then.
34:34Correct answer is...
34:36Oh, lorry driver.
34:39Staying where you are.
34:40Staying where you are.
34:41The chaser has put...
34:45Lorry driver.
34:46Yeah.
34:47Paul Barber.
34:48Didn't he play horse in, um, the full Monty?
34:52Yeah, you're right, he did.
34:53All right, we've got to stay where we are.
34:55Now, Karen and I were in pretty much a similar position where the chaser was one behind, still
35:01made it home, so all is not lost.
35:03Concentrate on the question.
35:05Here it comes.
35:06Which British driver won the Formula One Championship in 1996?
35:13A, Nigel Mansell.
35:15B, Johnny Herbert.
35:16You put C, Damon Hill.
35:25You put...
35:27Damon Hill.
35:28What do you think?
35:29I don't know.
35:29I really don't know.
35:32Oh, I hope it's right.
35:33Correct answer is...
35:35Oh, yes.
35:36Get in.
35:37First question up on Monty.
35:38Good.
35:39The chaser has put...
35:41Yeah, also Damon Hill and remains that a step behind.
35:45Yes, Nigel Mansell, I think, was earlier, and I'm not sure that Johnny Herbert has ever won it.
35:51No.
35:52Here is your next question.
35:55In which year did Anne Boleyn marry Henry VIII and give birth to Elizabeth I?
36:01A, 1532.
36:03B, 1533.
36:05C, 1534.
36:07How old was Elizabeth I?
36:20She wasn't very old, and Anne Boleyn was brought down in 1536, but I'm not sure which one it was.
36:30Really?
36:31Mm-hmm.
36:32Got to be right.
36:33Correct answer is...
36:36Oh, damn it.
36:40All right.
36:41We've got to stay where we are.
36:42Mm-hmm.
36:43If the chaser is right, we're out.
36:45We need her to be wrong.
36:46The chaser has put...
36:48Yeah, 1533.
36:59Oh, well.
37:02Yeah, she was 25 when she came to the throne in 1558.
37:06Oh, that doesn't help us, Judith.
37:08I am so sorry.
37:09Wanted you desperately to get through to the final, but, alas, for you, the chase is over.
37:16Great to see you.
37:16Another one bites the dust.
37:23Yes, I'm particularly glad about that, because there have been two previous occasions when there's been £40,000 in the pot, and I've lost it at the end.
37:32Ah.
37:32So £40,000 is not my lucky number.
37:35Now then, Rob and Karen are through to the final chase.
37:38Total prize fund of £34,000.
37:41I'm going to enjoy this final chase.
37:43Come back and see us after the break.
37:47I'm looking forward to this.
37:49Welcome back.
37:50Karen and Rob have made it through to the final chase.
37:52There's £34,000 in the total prize fund.
37:54Now, on the buzzer and against the clock, the team must answer as many questions as they can.
37:59Each right answer, of course, taking them a step further away from the chaser.
38:02Then the chaser will have the same amount of time to try and catch the team.
38:05If she does, the team leaves with nothing.
38:08However, if she doesn't, they'll go home with £17,000 each.
38:12That'd be nice.
38:13That'd be great.
38:14Wouldn't it, Karen?
38:15Rob?
38:15It'd be fantastic, mate.
38:17Wouldn't it?
