00:00These four people have never met before, but by working as a team, they had the chance to win thousands of pounds.
00:06There's just one thing standing in their way. The chaser. The chase is on.
00:19Hello and welcome to The Chase.
00:21Today's team of four total strangers believe they have what it takes to beat one of Britain's finest quiz brains and take home thousands of pounds.
00:28Well, do they? Let's meet them.
00:30I'm Joanna. I'm 41. I'm a customer service manager and a part-time magistrate from Manchester.
00:36I'm John. I'm 49. I'm a health and safety advisor from Derby.
00:40I'm Melanie. I'm 39. I'm a marketing manager in the motor industry and I'm from Surrey.
00:45I'm Dave. I'm 32 and a sports journalist from Hertfordshire.
00:50So, that's our gang. Now, one by one, they'll try and bring as much money as they can down the table and into the team prize fund.
00:56But, hunting them down, as always, every step of the way is the chaser.
01:01Anyone who gets caught, loses their money and is out of the game.
01:05Make it back safely, though.
01:06They will go through to the final chase with a chance to win an equal share of that total prize fund.
01:11And first to face the chaser, it's Joanna.
01:13You're a part-time magistrate.
01:19I am indeed, Bradley, yes.
01:20Well, so you will be hoping for Sean Wallace, our barrister, to take him on, really, wouldn't you?
01:25Indeed, so we can have an intellectual meeting of minds.
01:29Very good. All right. Do you have any hobbies?
01:31I do. I sing with a gospel choir and I also play netball.
01:35Oh, very good. So, quite sporty as well.
01:37Yeah.
01:37Excellent stuff. Well, I wish you luck.
01:39You have quick-fire questions against the clock.
01:40Each correct answer is worth £1,000.
01:42Okay?
01:43Your time starts now.
01:46What type of nut shares its name with the South American country?
01:51Macadamia.
01:51It's Brazil.
01:53What nationality was 19th-century playwright Anton Chekhov?
01:57German.
01:58Russian.
01:58When the moon hits your eye like a bigger pizza pie, it is a line from what song?
02:02That's Amore.
02:03Correct.
02:03What name is given to the strip of paper that acts as a fuse and a firework?
02:07Touch paper.
02:08Correct.
02:09What day of the week is the name of a character in The Addams Family?
02:12Wednesday.
02:13Correct.
02:14In Jerome K. Jerome's novel, the three men in a boat travel on what river?
02:18Pass.
02:19Thames.
02:20What's the maximum number of innings that can be played in a test cricket match?
02:23Pass.
02:23Four.
02:24What cookies were invented in 1916 by Los Angeles noodle maker George Jung?
02:29Pretzels.
02:30Fortune cookies.
02:31Which female singer performed with Tao Cruz on the 2011 hit Hire?
02:36Pass.
02:37Kylie Minogue.
02:38When talking about spoken English, what do the initials RP stand for?
02:42Pass.
02:43Received pronunciation.
02:44Who was the star of the 70s drama The Duchess of June Street?
02:47No time to get to that answer.
02:49That would have been Gemma Jones.
02:51Nonetheless, Joanna, scored £3,000 there.
02:54Great.
02:54All right.
02:55Well, it's time to face the chaser.
02:57But who will you be up against today?
02:59Will it be criminal barrister Sean Wallace?
03:02Yes, he has the smoothest briefs in the courtroom.
03:04Or will it be the fragrant Anne Hegarty?
03:07Her perfume sets off Geiger counters.
03:09Maybe it could be the cinnamon, Paul Sinner.
03:12He's brand spanking new and he wants you to get the spanking.
03:15Or will it be the beast himself, Mark Lebet, the maths teacher who knows a thing or two about pie charts?
03:22Who do you fancy taking on?
03:24More than a point, who scares the pants off you?
03:26I'm not intimidated by any of them, Brad.
03:28No, you're not.
03:29I can tell that straight away.
03:31Bring them all on.
03:32Absolutely.
03:33Bring it on.
03:33Right.
03:34Let's find out because it's time to face the chaser.
03:40Oh, it's old Fusty Knickers herself.
03:44It's a cold.
03:44It's got a cold in this room, hasn't it?
03:46It's Anne Hegarty.
03:50Hello, Joanna.
03:51Hello, Anne.
03:52Yes, I'm sorry.
03:53I'm not Sean.
03:54But I hope I will be just as intellectually challenging.
03:58Well, let's see, shall we?
04:00Yeah.
04:00Let's see indeed.
04:01Put some money on the table.
04:02There we go.
04:03Three steps ahead of our chaser.
04:06If you wish to take a step closer to home, the chaser will offer you £500.
04:11£500.
04:12However, if you wish to take a step closer, the chaser will offer you...
04:16Think what you could do with £12,000.
04:19Not bad at all.
04:21There you are.
04:21Have a chat with your team, Joanna.
04:23What do you think, guys?
04:24It's a good offer, Joanne.
04:25But £3,000, get you back home.
04:29Just get in here.
04:30I totally agree.
04:32I think you should stick with £3,000.
04:33Dave?
04:34I wouldn't be discouraged by your first round, because it was very tough.
04:37So, yeah, £3,000 would be a great amount to bring back.
04:40Thank you, team.
04:41Right.
04:41However, Joanna, it is your decision.
04:44What'll it be?
04:44The offer of £500 is rather insulting, I think.
04:49I will stick with the £3,000.
04:52Right.
04:52Sticking with £3,000, chaser.
04:55I noticed that the rest of your teammates don't think you could make the £12,000.
04:59Not interested in what they think.
05:01It's about what I can do.
05:03That's what we like.
05:04We like it.
05:05Joanna, let's get that money home.
05:07For £3,000, the chase is on.
05:14Good luck.
05:15Here comes your first question.
05:16Rowley Birkin, QC, was a sketch show character played by which comedian?
05:24Is it A, Harry Enfield?
05:26B, Charlie Hickson?
05:27C, Paul Whitehouse?
05:31You put...
05:32Paul Whitehouse.
05:34Happy with that?
05:35Very happy with that.
05:36Right.
05:37Correct answer is...
05:39Fantastic.
05:40Step closer to home already.
05:43The chaser has put...
05:46Also goes with Paul Whitehouse.
05:48We'll get straight on to the next question.
05:51What's the name of NASA's space shuttle replacement?
05:55Is it A, Leo?
05:56B, Orion?
05:58C, Pegasus?
06:02You're very quick on the buzzer, Joanna.
06:04It looks like you know your stuff.
06:05You've put...
06:07Orion.
06:09Happy with that?
06:09Yeah.
06:10Seemed to ring a bell somewhere in my distant memory.
06:13Correct answer is...
06:15Very good.
06:17Very good indeed.
06:19Another step closer to home.
06:20The chaser has put...
06:23Also Orion.
06:26Also in the back of your mind or you just happened to know that?
06:29I knew it but I couldn't remember anything except the actual name.
06:32Here's your next question.
06:33Which of these is not the capital of an African country?
06:40Is it A, Rabat?
06:41B, Dakar?
06:43C, Mombasa?
06:46You've put...
06:47Rabat.
06:48Why Rabat?
06:49Because I know Dakar and I know Mombasa.
06:52Okay.
06:53But I don't know Rabat.
06:54Right.
06:55Correct answer is...
06:57It's Mombasa.
07:00Ouch.
07:01You've got to stay where you are.
07:02The chaser's put.
07:04Yes, Mombasa.
07:06And takes a step closer.
07:07Now two steps behind.
07:07Chase.
07:08Rabat is the capital of Morocco.
07:11Dakar is the capital of Senegal.
07:14But Mombasa is in Uganda.
07:17But it is not the capital.
07:18That's Kampala.
07:19Mombasa is in Kenya.
07:21Is it?
07:21Maybe it's moved.
07:22It's in East Africa and it's not a capital.
07:27That's the point.
07:29Yes.
07:30Well played, John.
07:31That's what we love.
07:32Give it to them.
07:34Here's your next question.
07:36What was Madonna's first UK top ten hit?
07:40A, Like a Virgin.
07:41B, Holiday.
07:42C, Lucky Star.
07:46You've put...
07:47Holiday.
07:49Happy with that?
07:49Yes, very happy.
07:50Correct answer is...
07:54Well played.
07:55Two steps from home.
07:56It's going great, Joanna.
07:57The chaser has put...
08:00And also knew that straight to the next question.
08:05What is the collective noun for a group of ferrets?
08:10Is it A, Business.
08:12B, A firm.
08:14Or C, An enterprise.
08:18You've put...
08:20Affirm.
08:22Right.
08:23Was that a guess?
08:24It was a guess.
08:25Correct answer is...
08:26It's a business of ferrets.
08:30Okay.
08:30Mmm, staying where we are.
08:31The chaser has put...
08:34Mmm, she's a ferret herself.
08:37Business as usual.
08:38And closes that gap.
08:39Is there an enterprise of anything?
08:42Not as far as I know.
08:43An enterprise of trekkers, possibly.
08:47Right.
08:48Joking aside, we are now in a bit of a pickle.
08:51Mmm.
08:51She's caught us up, Johnny.
08:53We were doing so well.
08:54Indeed.
08:55Here's your next question.
08:55If a learner driver wants to practice, the accompanying driver must be over what age?
09:04A, 18.
09:05B, 21.
09:07C, 25.
09:08You've put...
09:1318.
09:14Do you know that?
09:16I think so.
09:16Being a part-time magistrate?
09:18I do sit in the DVLA court quite a lot.
09:20Do you?
09:21But this is not something that's come up.
09:22All right.
09:23Correct answer is, it's got to be right.
09:28Ooh, 21.
09:29Staying where we are.
09:31All right.
09:31Fingers crossed.
09:32To stay in the game, the chaser's got to be wrong.
09:35Joanna, are you ready?
09:36I'm ready.
09:37If the chaser's right, we're going home.
09:39Are you going to stay in the game?
09:41We'll find out after the break.
09:47Welcome back.
09:48Joanna here, the part-time magistrate from Manchester.
09:51It's just two questions away from going through to the final chase.
09:55But our chaser, Anne Hegarty, has caught us up.
09:58Just before the break, I asked Joanna,
10:01if a learner driver wants to practice, the accompanying driver must be over what age?
10:05Now, Joanna said it was 18.
10:07The correct answer was 21.
10:10So, has the chaser put the right answer?
10:14The chaser has put...
10:19Oh, I'm so...
10:21I'm sorry.
10:23Oh, Joanna.
10:24So, why 21?
10:26The idea is that you have to have got a few years under your belt.
10:29The experience.
10:30Yes, it's not enough to have just passed your own test.
10:33Yeah.
10:34Well, there you are.
10:35Joanna, I do apologise.
10:37However, you have been courted for you.
10:39The chase is over.
10:41Cheerio.
10:45Well, that didn't take you long.
10:47No.
10:47Somewhat ironic to be caught out by a question which is essentially about the law.
10:52It's to pretension in the DVLA court.
10:54Yes, thank you for that, chaser.
10:57However, will John be caught?
11:00Let's find out because he is next to face the chaser.
11:02So, Joanna, straight out.
11:09Yeah, there were some difficult questions there for her.
11:11Very tricky.
11:12Right.
11:12Now then, health and safety advisor.
11:14I am, yes.
11:15So, how will that affect your game plan?
11:17Well, part of my job is to do risk assessments.
11:20So, I will assess the risk of and today and decide whether to go for it.
11:25Brilliant.
11:26All right.
11:26Well, I wish you luck.
11:26You know how it works.
11:27I do.
11:28Quickfire questions against the clock.
11:30Each one worth a grand.
11:31Are you ready?
11:32I am.

12:36Not a bad start, John, at all.
12:38That's seven grand.
12:39That's okay.
12:40You happy with that?
12:40I am, yes.
12:41Right then.
12:42It's time to face the chaser.
12:43Hello, John.
12:58Hello, Chaser.
12:59Not bad.
13:00You didn't know your haute couture?
13:01No, I'm not really into dressmaking.
13:04No, no, neither am I.
13:06Only on the quiet.
13:07Only at weekends.
13:08Yeah.
13:10Fantastic.
13:10Let's put some money on the table, John.
13:12Right.
13:13There's your seven grand.
13:14Very good start, I have to say.
13:16If you want to take the step closer to the home, the chaser will offer you £1,000.
13:21Mmm, okay.
13:22If you want to take a step closer to the governess, the chaser will offer you, you're a man who
13:27likes to assess risk, £21,000.
13:32Not bad.
13:32Not bad.
13:33Not bad at all.
13:34Have a chat with your team, John.
13:35Team?
13:36What do you think?
13:37I think you did fantastically well, and I think you should go for £21,000.
13:41£7,000 is a nice amount as well to bring back if you want to take that step.
13:45But £21,000 would be lovely.
13:47Okay.
13:49They're brave when you're sitting up there, mate.
13:50It's slightly different when you're here.
13:52We hear it all the time, man, don't we?
13:53Indeed.
13:54Your decision, though, John, what'll it be?
13:56Okay, I've assessed the risk.
13:57I think I will stick at the £7,000.
14:00Thank you, Anne.
14:00Clearly, they do think better of you than they did of Joanna.
14:04Indeed, they do.
14:05Yeah.
14:05But nonetheless, let's get cracking.
14:07Let's see if we can get £7,000 on yourself through to the final chase.
14:10Are you ready?
14:10I am.
14:11Good luck, mate.
14:11For £7,000, John, the chase is on.
14:15Here comes your first question.
14:22Oh, lovely.
14:23Which of these golfers has not captained the European Ryder Cup team?
14:28Is it A, Nick Faldo, B, Sandy Lyle, or C, Colin Montgomery?
14:37You've put Sandy Lyle.
14:40Happy with that?
14:40Yeah, I'm reasonably happy with that.
14:42Yeah, I'd have said Sandy Lyle.
14:43Yeah, I think you're right.
14:44Faldo definitely has, and Monty did it last time.
14:46Correct answer is...
14:48Brilliant.
14:49Step closer to home.
14:50Fantastic stuff.
14:51The chaser has put...
14:54Also, Sandy Lyle.
14:56Pretty standard question for sports fans.
14:59Here's the next question.
15:00What did the H stand for in the name of the writer H.G. Wells?
15:06Was it A, Harold, B, Henry, C, Herbert?
15:12You put...
15:13Herbert.
15:14Big book fan?
15:16Not too big, but that name kind of came into my head before the names came up.
15:21All right.
15:21Correct answer is...
15:24Yes, Herbert.
15:25Once again, another step to home.
15:26Well played, John.
15:27Going great.
15:28I assume Anne's got this right.
15:29The chaser's put...
15:31OK.
15:32Status quo.
15:33That's good.
15:34What did the G stand for?
15:36George.
15:36George.
15:37Herbert George Wells.
15:40Here's the next question.
15:41At the 2011 Super Bowl, who caused outrage by getting the words to the American National Anthem wrong?
15:51Was it A, Christina Aguilera, B, Mariah Carey, C, Whitney Houston?
15:59You've put Christina Aguilera.
16:03You know this, or is this a guess?
16:05Something in the back of the brain that says, you know, Christina Aguilera.
16:08Correct answer is...
16:11Brilliant, well played.
16:12Two from home, John.
16:13It's great.
16:13The chaser has put...
16:16Yes, also, Christina Aguilera.
16:18How can you get the words to your own National Anthem wrong?
16:21Well, she's not exactly a chase contestant.
16:24That's very diplomatic.
16:26Here's the next question.
16:28In 2011, which of these events happened first?
16:32A, St George's Day.
16:34B, Easter Sunday.
16:36C, Queen's real birthday.
16:39Oh, goodness.
16:41You've put St George's Day.
16:47All right.
16:49I know St George's Day was before Easter Sunday, but I'm not too sure when the Queen's real birthday is.
16:55Yeah.
16:55Is St George's Day April the 23rd?
16:59Ah, yes, probably.
17:02Correct answer is...
17:05Queen's real birthday is the right answer.
17:08All right, we've got to stay where we are.
17:10The chaser has put...
17:13Yes, and comes a step closer to us.
17:16Queen's real birthday is April the 21st.
17:19Oh, yeah.
17:20St George's Day, the 23rd, as you said.
17:22And Easter Day this year was the 24th.
17:24Thanks for that, chaser.
17:26Here is our next question.
17:27The Zazuela Palace is the official residence of the monarch of which country?
17:33A, Andorra.
17:35B, Monaco.
17:37C, Spain.
17:38You have put Spain.
17:46Total guess.
17:47A bit Spanish sounding.
17:48Yeah, it sounds as it does.
17:49Let's hope it's right.
17:50Correct answer is...
17:53Well played.
17:54One from home.
17:55Well done, John.
17:55Terrific.
17:56The chaser has put...
17:59Also Spain.
18:01Yes.
18:02Very lucky there.
18:03No, it was a calculator guess.
18:05Yeah.
18:07Okay, one more question right then.
18:09John, and we're through.
18:09Here's your next question.
18:12Which woman was part of the Not the Nine O'Clock News team?
18:17Was it A, Pamela Stevenson?
18:19B, Tracey Ullman?
18:20C, Jennifer Saunders?
18:22You knew that before the quit?
18:24I did know that one, Brad, yes.
18:25Yeah, all right.
18:26You've put...
18:28Pamela Stevenson.
18:29Happy with that, aren't you?
18:30I am happy with that.
18:31Yes.
18:31All right.
18:32Correct answer is to go through with seven grand.
18:34Absolutely brilliant.
18:37Well played, mate.
18:38Terrific.
18:39Well done.
18:39Stay where you are.
18:42Good.
18:43Yes.
18:43Very good.
18:44Although I don't believe I've got one wrong yet.
18:47This time.
18:47Final round.
18:49We shall find out.
18:50Well, terrific, John.
18:51We'll see you in the final chase.
18:52Go and take your seat.
18:53Thank you, Brad.
18:53Brilliant, mate.
18:55Terrific.
18:56Hmm.
18:57Good.
18:57At least we've got one through.
18:59Interesting to see what the next two do.
19:01Yeah, very gung-ho, Melanie and Dave.
19:03We'll find out which way they're going to go, because next to Face the Chaser, it's Melanie.
19:12Welcome.
19:13Thank you very much.
19:14Now, John did great, didn't he?
19:15Seven grand.
19:15Yeah, really, really well.
19:16Can you follow in his footsteps?
19:18Let's hope so.
19:18All right.
19:19Now, what hobbies do you have?
19:21I love to travel.
19:22Right.
19:22I love music.
19:23I sing in a band.
19:25Oh, really?
19:25Yeah.
19:25How many-piece band?
19:26Well, I used to work on a cruise ship with a nine-piece band.
19:29Oh, that's fantastic.
19:30Well, and what's the band called?
19:31Are we allowed to say?
19:32Can we say?
19:32Yeah, the band are called Black Velvet.
19:33All right.
19:34Well, listen.
19:34Let's hope you're singing a fantastic tune right now and build up as much money as you
19:39can.
19:39I wish you luck.

20:40In the title of a Janicek's opera, what is described as cunning and little?
20:45Too late.
20:45The answer would have been Vixen.
20:47However, not bad.
20:49Six thousand.
20:49Six grand is very good.
20:51Are you ready?
20:52I am.
20:52Excellent stuff.
20:53It's time to face the chaser.
21:08Hello, Melanie.
21:10Hello, Anne.
21:11Well, you seem nervous, and at the same time you did quite well.
21:17So I'm wondering if you are a bit of a dark horse.
21:19I'm a big surprise.
21:20Whoa, fighting talk.
21:21Let's put some money on the table.
21:23There's your six pay.
21:23As ever, three steps ahead of our chaser.
21:27Now, Melanie, if you wish to take a step closer to home, you know this.
21:30The chaser will offer you...
21:31Six hundred pounds.
21:33Ouch, ouch, ouch.
21:34But if you wish to take a step closer to the governess herself, the chaser will offer you...
21:39Twenty-one thousand pounds.
21:41Twenty-one.
21:41Now, John's already played.
21:42Dave obviously hasn't.
21:43Have a chat with your team.
21:45Team?
21:45What do you think?
21:46My recommendation would be to take the six grand, get you back here for the final game.
21:50Okay.
21:51I think you're better than you think you are, and if you want to go for the twenty-one grand,
21:55and do a wobble soon, I'm sure.
21:57He's full of it, Dave, isn't he?
21:59Thank you, boys.
22:01All right.
22:02What'll it be?
22:03Six hundred pounds, absolutely no way.
22:05Okay.
22:05Twenty-one thousand sounds amazing, but I don't think it'd be wise for me to do that.
22:09Right.
22:10So I think I'm going to stick with six thousand.
22:11Fine.
22:12Six grand it is.
22:12Thank you very much.
22:13Chaser.
22:13Yes, clearly not a gambler, but this should be interesting.
22:18We'll find out.
22:19Melanie, for six thousand pounds, the chase is on.
22:27Good luck.
22:28Here comes the first question.
22:31How long is the term of office of the president of France?
22:35Is it A, three years, B, four years, or C, five years?
22:43You put three years.
22:46Any idea, or is that a guess?
22:47Um, to be completely honest, it is a guess.
22:51Okay, yeah.
22:52All right, honestly is the best policy, unless of course you're in insurance.
22:55Correct answer is...
22:57Oh, the other way, five.
23:00Staying where we are.
23:02The chaser has put...
23:05Yes.
23:05It's the reason why people like Mitterrand and Chirac always seem to hang around for so long.
23:11Right.
23:13Here's your next question.
23:15Which London station was the first international terminal of the Eurostar?
23:19Was it A, King's Cross, B, Charing Cross, or C, Waterloo?
23:25You have put...
23:28Waterloo.
23:29You've ever been on the Eurostar?
23:31No.
23:31No?
23:32I have.
23:33Have you?
23:34From the original station, yeah.
23:35Really?
23:36This is one of the only questions I've known.
23:37Really?
23:38The right answer is...
23:41Fantastic.
23:43Well done.
23:43Step closer to home.
23:45The chaser has put...
23:47Yes, a Waterloo.
23:50Well, it is now St. Pancras.
23:51St. Pancras, of course, which is next to King's Cross, isn't it?
23:54Yes, it is.
23:55All right.
23:55Here's your next question.
23:58What is the structural protein of bones, tendons, and skin?
24:03Is it A, collagen, B, elastin, or C, keratin?
24:10You've put keratin.
24:14Yeah, but I don't think that's right.
24:16I think keratin's in hair.
24:17I think it's probably one of the other two.
24:19I don't know.
24:20I wouldn't know.
24:21Correct answer is...
24:24Oh, it's collagen.
24:26Right.
24:26Got to stay where we are.
24:28Will she close the gap?
24:28The chaser has put...
24:31Yes, and moves one step behind.
24:35Well, we've got to get this one right to stay in the game.
24:38The TV drama Band of Brothers took its title from which Shakespeare play?
24:44A, Richard III.
24:46B, Henry V.
24:47C, Henry VI, Part II.
24:54You've put Henry V.
24:58Happy with that?
24:59Over the moon.
25:01No.
25:02I didn't even know it took its title from a Shakespeare play.
25:04No, did I?
25:04However, this has got to be right for us to stay in the game with our six grand.
25:09We've put Henry V.
25:10The correct answer is...
25:12Oh, please be right.
25:13Come on.
25:15Well played.
25:18Guessing's good.
25:18The chaser has put...
25:22Also Henry V.
25:24Why would Spielberg do that then?
25:26It's from the St. Crispin's Day speech when Henry V addresses the troops.
25:31He says,
25:32We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.
25:34Oh, I see.
25:34Of course.
25:35Yeah.
25:35Here comes the next question.
25:36Which of these soups is traditionally served chilled?
25:41Is it A, Kokoliki?
25:43B, Mulligatoni?
25:45C, Vichy Swarze?
25:49You've put...
25:51Vichy Swarze.
25:52Happy with that?
25:53Yeah.
25:53Correct answer is...
25:56Well played.
25:57Two from home.
25:59The chaser has put...
26:00Yeah, Vichy Swarze.
26:03Vichy Swarze closing that gap immediately.
26:06Chaser.
26:07Vichy Swarze is a posh name for cold leek and potato soup.
26:11Okay.
26:11Thank you very much.
26:13Here's the next question.
26:15Which of these South American capital cities is also a port?
26:20A, Quito, B, Montevideo, or C, Santiago?
26:28You have put...
26:30Santiago.
26:31I did go to Santiago, actually, about four years ago.
26:35Right.
26:36And I'm really hoping that I remembered it correctly.
26:38Very good.
26:40Correct answer is to stay in the game with six grand.
26:44That's Montevideo.
26:45We have to stay where we are.
26:47We've now got a hope that the chaser has got this wrong.
26:50For us to stay in the game with our six grand.
26:53The chaser has put...
26:55Come on, V-Rong.
26:56Melanie, I'm so, so sorry.
27:05Chaser.
27:06It, uh, it's the capital of, uh, Uruguay.
27:10And it lies at the mouth, I believe, of the River Plate.
27:12Thank you for that little nugget.
27:15Melanie, sorry, mate.
27:17But for you, you have been caught, and the chase is over.
27:24Mmm.
27:25Tried hard, but not quite as good as I was hoping.
27:27Right.
27:28Well, quickly dispatch the two girls in the team.
27:32One guy through, John.
27:33Last up, it's Gung-Ho Dave.
27:36When you go for the higher amount, come back and find out after the break.
27:42Welcome back.
27:43Last up, it's Gung-Ho Dave.
27:45Now, you're a sports journalist.
27:47That's correct, yes.
27:47From?
27:48I grew up in Hertfordshire and then moved into London,
27:50and now I've moved back into a home which is currently a shell.
27:54Right.
27:54So you're doing it up?
27:56It's being done up, and I need to do it up quickly because I've got a baby on the way.
27:59Oh, no.
27:59So you need some money.
28:01How much do you need?
28:02I mean, I would love 40 grand if Anne's willing to offer it.
28:07Well, this is your first chance then to build up some cash.
28:09See what you get dealt up.
28:11All right.
28:12Quickfire questions against the clock.
28:13Gung-Ho Dave, are you ready?
28:14I am.
28:15Your time starts now.

29:14What girl group recorded the album Cat Fights and Spotlights?
29:17Girls Aloud.
29:18Sugar Bobs.
29:19Not bad.
29:20Not a bad team effort, all this, I have to say.
29:23That's another seven grand, Dave.
29:24Very, very good.
29:25However, you might get dealt up even more.
29:27Seeing how gun...
29:28Waiting for my 40 grand.
29:29Yes, we'll see, shall we?
29:30It's time to face the chaser.
29:31Hi, Anne.
29:45Hello, Dave.
29:47Woman of my dreams.
29:50Those are some scary dreams.
29:51They are.
29:51They are.
29:54Gung-ho, Dave.
29:56Maybe we'll get someone going for a high offer.
29:58Maybe.
29:58Let's see, depending on what it is, let's put the first seven grand on the table, three
30:02steps ahead of the chaser.
30:03There you are, Dave.
30:04If you wish to take a step closer to home, the chaser will offer you...
30:07You wanted 40?
30:0940 pounds.
30:10All right, 40 pounds it is.
30:13Now then, if you want to take a step closer to the chaser, she will offer you...
30:1921,000.
30:21That's a shame.
30:22Obviously, running scared.
30:24Running scared, indeed.
30:25I'm just not letting people push me into offering 40,000 pounds.
30:29I think you're worried about that Uganda slip earlier.
30:31Slightly embarrassing.
30:33Yes, get in there, my boy.
30:35What do you reckon, John?
30:36I think she's frightened of the pair of us.
30:40Get yourself back here, because I'm feeling really, really lonely.
30:43And let's take her on and beat her.
30:45Fair enough.
30:46Right.
30:47£28,000 in total prize fund, £14,000 each.
30:50That's a nice little dilemma, isn't it?
30:50That would be amazing, but I don't want to leave John hanging there.
30:54So I'll take seven.
30:55You're going to go for the seven?
30:57Terrific stuff.
30:57Let's do it.
30:58For £7,000, Dave the Chase is on.
31:05Here we go.
31:06Good luck.
31:07Here comes your first question.
31:11In the Pink Panther films, which character was played by Herbert Long?
31:16A. Cato.
31:17B. Dreyfus.
31:18C. Francoise.
31:24You have put...
31:26Francoise.
31:27I think Cato was Burt Kwok.
31:31Yes, Burt Kwok, yeah, absolutely.
31:32So it was 50-50, yeah.
31:34Yeah, correct answer is...
31:37Yes, it's Inspector Dreyfus.
31:40You've got to stay there.
31:41The chaser has put...
31:43Oh, and gets it right, immediately comes onto the table.
31:48Come on, let's start getting them right.
31:49Here's your next question.
31:51If Christmas Day is on a Sunday,
31:54on which day of the week is New Year's Eve?
31:57Is it A, a Friday, B, Saturday, C, Sunday?
32:04You have put...
32:07Saturday.
32:08Now I can see you're trying to work that out in your mind.
32:10I worked it out quite quickly, I think.
32:12Yeah?
32:12Correct answer is...
32:15Saturday.
32:17Good, well played.
32:18Step closer to home.
32:19The chaser's put.
32:21Yes, Saturday.
32:23I knew that straight away.
32:24All right, here's the next question.
32:27Inverness lies at the head of which Firth?
32:30A, the Firth of Forth.
32:32B, Firth of Tay.
32:34C, Moray Firth.
32:36You have put.
32:42Firth of Forth.
32:44Not entirely sure with that one.
32:48Correct answer is...
32:51That's the Moray Firth.
32:53All right, the chaser has put...
32:57Yeah, Moray Firth knows her stuff and is the one step behind.
33:01Chaser.
33:02Yes, fourth is Edinburgh, Tay is Dundee.
33:06And I am indeed one step behind.
33:09You are.
33:09I'm glad I didn't go for the measly 21 grand.
33:11I'm sure you are.
33:12Yeah.
33:13But I wish you luck.
33:14We've got four to go.
33:14Let's see if we can get home.
33:15Here's your next question.
33:18In Formula One, what colour flag tells a driver that he is about to be lapped?
33:23Is it A, yellow?
33:24B, red?
33:25C, blue?
33:30You've put.
33:32Blue.
33:33You're not confident with this, are you?
33:34I'm not at all, no.
33:37Normally good on sports, as I have to be.
33:39Yes, being a sports journalist.
33:41Yeah, blue, yeah, I'm, yeah, I'll go with blue.
33:44To stay in the game with 7K, the correct answer is...
33:48Well played.
33:49Step close to home, three to go.
33:51The chaser has put.
33:54Yeah, and remains that one step behind.
33:57Did you guess that then?
33:58No, I did actually know it.
33:59You did know.
34:00All right, fair enough.
34:01She wouldn't let us on the show.
34:02No, no.
34:04Here's your next question.
34:06Which of these festivals was first held in 1970?
34:11A, Glastonbury.
34:13B, Edinburgh.
34:14Or C, the London Film Festival.
34:22You've put.
34:25Glastonbury.
34:27I think the Edinburgh Festival is possibly 69.
34:31Yeah, before that, I think, yeah.
34:32Um, and the London Film Festival, I don't know, so I've gone with Glastonbury.
34:37Correct answer is to stay in the game.
34:39Come on, Dave, we can do it.
34:42Well played.
34:43Come on.
34:43Two from home, that's it.
34:44We're doing one and roll.
34:46The chaser has put.
34:47Also, Glastonbury Festival, you've been there a few times.
34:52Um, no, I don't think I have.
34:55I just thought that would have been your sort of bag.
34:57Mm, I may have played a tent.
35:01Two to go.
35:02Let's do it.
35:03Here's your next question.
35:05The rodent poison warfarin is also used in medicine as what type of drug?
35:12A, anticoagulant.
35:14B, an antihistamine.
35:16Or C, anti-inflammatory.
35:20You have put.
35:23Anticoagulant.
35:24Yeah.
35:25I think it's a blood thinner, yeah.
35:26Yeah.
35:27Correct answer is.
35:30Perfect.
35:31One from home, doing great.
35:32The chaser has put.
35:35Yeah, and remains the one step behind.
35:38Very, very good indeed.
35:40All right, we've had a run of sort of three or four.
35:42We've known now on the bounce, so that's good.
35:44All we need is one more and we're through alongside John.
35:46Here's your question.
35:51Which of these children's books was published the earliest?
35:54Is it A, Alice in Wonderland?
35:56A, B, water babies?
35:58Or C, the wind in the wheelhouse?
36:01You have put.
36:11Alice in Wonderland, why did you go, ugh?
36:13My finger was hovering over B for about four seconds and then I changed at the last minute,
36:18which you shouldn't do.
36:18No, you're gut instinct.
36:21I wish you luck with this.
36:22It's at 7K.
36:23Come on, mate.
36:24We've got to get you through.
36:25The correct answer is to go through with 7,000.
36:28Oh, no.
36:34Blown it.
36:36All right.
36:38That's just to stay in the game with 7,000 pounds.
36:40The chaser needs to be wrong.
36:41The right answer is water babies.
36:42The chaser has put.
36:48Oh, gets it wrong as well.
36:53That was a near miss.
36:54I thought Alice in Wonderland was about 1865 and the water babies I thought was the 1870s.
37:02All right.
37:03Clearly I'm wrong about that.
37:04All right.
37:05Now then.
37:05All we've got to do is get this one right and we're through.
37:07Come on.
37:07Here we go.
37:08One we know.
37:09Let's have the next question, please.
37:11EastEnders actress and Layla Morse, who plays Big Mo, is the sister of which film star?
37:20He's nodding.
37:21Is it A, Ray Winston?
37:23Is it B, Tim Roth?
37:24Or is it C, Gary Oldman?
37:28You have put Gary Oldman.
37:32Are you happy with that?
37:33I am very happy with that.
37:33Is that one you know?
37:35Yes.
37:35The correct answer is for 7,000 and going through to the final chase with Big John.
37:41Absolutely fantastic.
37:45Well done.
37:45What a chance that was.
37:46Stay where you are.
37:47Stay where you are.
37:49What a chase.
37:50I'm deeply ashamed of getting a question on children's literature wrong.
37:54I never normally do that.
37:55Should have caught in there.
37:57That was a let off.
37:58That actually could be your undoing for the final chase.
38:02Could be.
38:03We'll have to wait and see.
38:04Indeed.
38:05Well done, Dave.
38:06Thank you very much.
38:06Go join John there in the final chase.
38:09£14,000.
38:11In the prize fund.
38:12Do you know what?
38:13I think they're going to be a good pair.
38:14Makes it much more interesting that there are two through, certainly.
38:17Yes.
38:18So John and Dave go through to the final chase with a total prize fund of £14,000.
38:23Seven grand each.
38:25That'll be nice for an afternoon's work.
38:27See if they can take it home.
38:28Come back after the break.
38:33Welcome back.
38:34John and Dave have made it through to the final chase.
38:36There's £14,000 in the total prize fund.
38:38Now, on the buzzer and against the clock, the boys must answer as many questions as they can.
38:43Each correct answer puts them a step further away from the chaser.
38:46Then the chaser will have the same amount of time to try and catch the team.
38:49If she does, they go home with nothing.
38:51If she doesn't, Dave and John go home with £7,000 each.
38:56That would be nice, wouldn't it?
38:57Lovely.
38:57Two of you have made it through to the final chase.
38:59That means you get an automatic two-step head start on the chaser.
39:02There it is.
39:03Boys, they're going to come at you thick and fast.
39:05I wish you luck.
