00:00Hello and welcome to Beat The Chasers.
00:26And here they are. The Venice. The Governess. The Cinnamon. The Vixen. The Beast. The Dark Destroyer.
00:48And there they are. Someone's pimped the chess club. What about that?
00:54Now you all get asked a lot of questions. What is the one question you hate? Governess.
01:00I hate those really awkward questions like, who are you? What are you doing in my house?
01:08Where are your clothes? That sort of thing.
01:12Cinnamon. Every town and city in this country I've been asked, what's Bradley like?
01:18And I always tell the truth. I say he's absolutely brilliant when he's sober.
01:30It's so true. It's so true.
01:32Dark Destroyer. Mine is when people say to me, Sean, can you read one of your poems?
01:38Please, please, please. It's so annoying.
01:40All right then.
01:46The public are so glad that I'm funnier than Brad.
01:52And he is to be fair.
02:04Now, tonight we have contestants from across the country.
02:08They think they can beat the Chasers. Can they? Let's get started.
02:10Please join me. It's Roche from Hereford.
02:13Where's Roche?
02:18He's got a shirt and he's not afraid to wear it.
02:30OK, Roche from Hereford.
02:32Lovely shirt. Cool shirt. Thank you.
02:34What do you do for a living?
02:35When I'm not shutting companies down, I work in the food and farmer industry.
02:38What do you mean when you're not shutting companies down?
02:40What does that mean?
02:41Well, first four companies I worked for all shut down.
02:43A lot of them.
02:44Really?
02:45And then I nearly took out a big chocolate company as well.
02:47Did you?
02:48Yeah, nearly.
02:49Or by purely working for them?
02:50I just turned up.
02:55What do you do for hobbies?
02:56Hobbies?
02:57I love kebabs.
02:58I love Donners.
02:59I love sheet kebabs, shammy kebabs.
03:01And pay attention.
03:02I've got this spreadsheet, right?
03:04So what I do, I eat kebabs and I'll rate them.
03:06So where's the best kebab in your life?
03:08Oh, Istanbul.
03:09Went to this market.
03:10This matey was just making these smells.
03:12They were just gorgeous.
03:13I know, but we can't go after the pub.
03:15Where are you going?
03:16Istanbul.
03:17You can't.
03:18I mean, somewhere we could all go.
03:20Where could we go for a kebab?
03:21Where do you think it's good that we could go for a kebab?
03:23There's a place called Istanbul in Hereford.
03:25LAUGHTER
03:31Sorry.
03:34If you were to win some money tonight, what would you like to do with it?
03:36Well, I need to buy a couple of kebab vans.
03:38I'd love a couple of kebab vans.
03:40Right.
03:41How much is a kebab van?
03:42About 20 grand.
03:43Let's do it.
03:44Right, you ready?
03:45Absolutely.
03:46You're going to need some money for the kebab van, that's for sure.
03:47Multiple choice questions on the way.
03:49Each correct answer is worth £1,000.
03:50Get the first one wrong, you are out.
03:52We'll keep going until you get one wrong.
03:53You ready?
03:54Go for it.
03:55Let's play.
03:58OK, here we go.
04:00Here's your first question.

04:45It is the correct answer.
04:46Well done.
04:48£2,000.
04:49Cinema.
04:50Yeah, there's a coincidence there, which is that the St Paul's Cathedral is 365 feet tall,
04:55and Millennium Dome is 365 metres but wide, but they're both 365 in dimension.
05:01Ah, all right.
05:02Thank you very much.

12:00Uh, Sudbury.
12:01Sudbury.
12:02OK.
12:03And what do you do in there in Sudbury?
12:04I've been at uni for the past four years in Durham,
12:07so I've not been at home much.
12:08Not been at home much.
12:09And what are you studying up there in Durham?
12:10French and Italian.
12:11Excellent stuff.
12:12Bongiorno.
12:13Ciao.
12:14Bomestai.
12:15Yeah.
12:16Now, let me ask you this.
12:19What hobbies do you have?
12:20I quite like trying new things, so on my year abroad,
12:22I decided to try ice skating.
12:24My students in Canada will know it did not end well.
12:26Oh, what happened?
12:27Did you break a limb or something?
12:29No, I didn't, but I did fall over in front of my students
12:31and they've got it on a video at the school.
12:32Right, OK.
12:33When you say your students, are they your mates,
12:35or are you teaching?
12:36I was teaching on my year abroad.
12:37Oh, OK.
12:38Listen, so if you win some money today,
12:39what do you want to do with it?
12:40Based on that, ice skating lessons.
12:42Then I'd get a bit better, but also, I guess travel a bit more.
12:46More travel, yeah.
12:47Because now that I've done that year abroad,
12:48I want to keep going.
12:49Absolutely.
12:50Are you on your bucket list?
12:51Iceland.
12:52Iceland.
12:53OK, very nice.
12:54You'll need money, of course.

38:43I'm fairly sure that's Room 101A.
38:44Yeah.
38:45OK.
38:46Is that the right answer?
38:47It is.
38:48Very good.
38:49APPLAUSE
38:50£3,000.
38:51Read that next question.
38:52Playing well.
38:53The boxer Muhammad Ali famously adopted the rope-a-dope strategy in which fight?

39:07Rumble in the Jungle.
39:08B.
39:09Thriller in Manila.
39:10Or C.
39:11Fight of the Century.
39:12I've got no idea.
39:13No.
39:14So I'm going to go with A.
39:15Rumble in the Jungle.
39:16You're going Rumble in the Jungle.
39:17Is that the right answer?
39:18It is.
39:19APPLAUSE
39:20OK, fourth round.
39:21Here's the next question.
39:22The medieval street in York, known as Shambles, was originally home to people of which profession?
39:36A.
39:37Taylor.
39:38B.
39:39Shoemaker.
39:40C.
39:41Butcher.
39:42Again, I've got no idea, but I wouldn't have thought there'd be too many butchers there.
39:49Let's go with Taylor.
39:51OK.
39:52You're saying Taylor.
39:53Is that the right answer for £5,000?
39:55Wrong answer.
39:56Correct answer is...
39:58Butcher.
39:59Loads of butchers there.
40:00Yeah.
40:01There you have it.
40:02Vixen.
40:03Singular was originally a market table.
40:06So it's where the butchers set up shop to slaughter the animals and sell the wares.
40:10And when there are a lot of butchers in the same area, it's a bit of a mess around there.
40:14It's a bit of a shambles.
40:15I see.
40:16That's where it comes from.
40:17OK.
40:18There you have it.
40:194,000.
40:20That is brilliant.
40:21Gavin, it's time to face the chases.
40:22Good luck, mate.
40:23APPLAUSE
40:24Let's put some time on the clocks, please.
40:29There you have it.
40:3060 seconds on each.
40:32Now, if you wish to play for the money you won in a cash builder, you take on two chasers
40:36automatically.

41:38I'm going to reduce the time to 40 seconds on our clock, and you'll be playing for £100,000!
41:41Come on!
41:42Come on!
41:43CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

42:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
42:21Brad, could I write a post date and check if he wins this one, please?
42:24LAUGHTER
42:33The beast, the governess, the menace, the cinnaman and the vixen.
42:37You've got a 20-second time advantage that's big enough, by the way,
42:40for £100,000.
