Transcript
00:00Hello, I'm Jason Manford and welcome to The Answer Run, the quiz where you've always got
00:16a 50% chance of getting the answer right. It's as simple as that. And here is how it works.
00:21Every question has two possible answers in this example, six and seven. Questions will
00:27make their way down the run and our teams will swipe the way they think the answer is. So
00:32term for well-developed stomach muscle, I'm going to say a six pack. So I'll win myself
00:38£100. But if I got it wrong, Von Trapp children in the Sound of Music film, is it six? I got
00:48it wrong, can you believe it? I lose that value. So let's meet the teams taking on The Answer
00:54Run today. I'm Adam. This is Faraz. We're school friends. I'm from Nottingham. He's from
00:59Livingston. I'm Jade. And this is Keira. We're flatmates living in Sheffield. I'm Lewis. This
01:05is Peter. We're friends and we're from Milton Keynes. Well, it's great to see you all. Welcome
01:10to The Answer Run. We'll get to know you better as the show goes on. But it's time now to get
01:15started. Let's have a look at the three categories on offer in round one. We've got diamond, gold,
01:21faulty towers, the office, sweet and sour. The only way for the teams to get the category
01:27they want is to win this race to the run. Otherwise, they could be stuck with something
01:32they don't want. Teams, get ready. If you're buzzing with an incorrect answer, you'll be
01:37frozen out of the question. The first team to give three correct answers will step up
01:43to the run first and get their choice of categories. Let's play Race to the Run.

08:03I'm a teacher and I'm also a playwright as well.
08:05What do you teach?
08:06I teach drama and English.
08:07That makes sense to do the playwriting as well then.
08:09Yes.
08:10So, is literature something that you're interested in?
08:12Literature, pop culture, a bit of music.
08:14Yeah.
08:15Kind of hoping that will come up.
08:16Do you think the speed of questions come up?
08:17Yeah.
08:18Although, maybe a bit sketchy.
08:19It's limited.
08:20It's limited.
08:21There's always a risk, isn't there?
08:22Yeah.
08:23When you're known for something and then the question comes up.
08:25Yeah.
08:26But, Faraz, what's your strengths in a quiz?
08:27I don't know.
08:28I just know random stuff.

08:44Yeah.
08:45What do you think sweet and sour might be about?
08:46I don't know.
08:47I feel like...
08:48Obviously food.
08:49Food and taste, yeah.
08:50Good guy.
08:51Could be some rogue questions in there, but...
08:52I think diamond and gold is just too obscure.
08:54It's too broad, maybe.
08:56Okay.
08:57Sweet and sour.
08:58Alright, let's prep the answer, Rom.
09:00You're going to be swiping left for sweet and right for sour.

17:15Adam and Faraz have £260.
17:18Jade and Kira have £300 but in the lead with £800 is Lewis and Peter.
17:26It's time now for round two.
17:28Now this is a bit more difficult.
17:30But the stakes are higher because at the end of this one team will be going home.
17:34Let's take a look at our three new categories.
17:37We've got Bolton, Blackburn, Einstein, Oppenheimer, Bell and Horn.
17:44Once again we'll play a race to the run to see who gets first pick.
17:48Remember an incorrect answer will freeze you out.
17:52Fingers on buzzers.
17:53Which 2024 film stars Timothee Chalamet, Jade and Kira?
17:59A Complete Unknown.
18:00Correct.
18:01Musician Bob Dylan.
18:04The novel Moby Dick inspired the name of which multinational coffee shop chain?
18:10Lewis and Peter.
18:11Moby.
18:12It's not.
18:13So you are frozen out.
18:16Adam and Faraz.
18:17Nero.
18:18It's not.
18:19No.
18:20So you're frozen out as well.
18:21Jade and Kira, you may as well have a guess.
18:22Starbucks.
18:23It is Starbucks.
18:25Well done.
18:26So 2-0 to you guys.
18:29Which Cornish town has beaches called Fistral and...
18:34Lewis and Peter.
18:35Nuki.
18:36Nuki.
18:37Well done.
18:38What is the common name for the bone called the mandible?
18:43Lewis and Peter.
18:44Jawbone.
18:45Jawbone.
18:46Well done.
18:47You've pulled level with Jade and Kira.
18:48The TT motorcycle races first took place in 1907 on which island?
18:54Lewis and Peter.
18:55Island Man.
18:56The Island Man is right.
18:57Three points to you.
18:58Come on down to the answer, Rob.
19:06Lewis and Peter back again.
19:08First again.
19:09That last round suited you very well, didn't it?
19:11Faulty Towers and the office.
19:12Very much so.
19:13Will you be as fortunate this time?
19:15Currently, you've got £800 in the bank.
19:18That money is safe for now.
19:20This second round requires concentration though,
19:22because each question has two different amounts.
19:26A higher amount and a lower amount.
19:27If you're confident of the answer, then go for the higher amount.
19:30If you're not so sure, aim for the lower amount.
19:33Of course, Trigger calls Rodney Dave in Only Fools and Horses.
19:37You could have probably done with that one, couldn't you?
19:38Yeah, yeah.
19:39Your knowledge.
19:40Let's remind ourselves of the categories.
19:43Bolton, Blackburn, Einstein, Oppenheimer, Bell and Horn.
19:48Is there any that you fancy, any you want to avoid?
19:51I know you'll be strong on Einstein and Oppenheimer.
19:54Is that especially subject to yours, Peter?
19:56Yeah, I like science.
19:58Yeah, okay.
19:59I'm happy to go with you if you want to do Einstein and Oppenheimer.
20:02Yeah.
20:03We'll go Einstein, Oppenheimer, please.
20:05Einstein, Oppenheimer.
20:06Literally crying with happiness over there.
20:09Okay, Einstein, Oppenheimer.
20:12Let's prep the answer on.
20:15We're swiping left for Einstein and right for Oppenheimer.
20:19Any money you get here will be added to the money that you banked in round one.
20:22You've got 15 questions.
20:23There's £2,000 up for grabs this time.
20:26And here is your first question.

22:43This is worth 200 pounds if you go for the higher amount.
22:45I think he's got the violin.
22:47Yeah.
22:49Oh, it wasn't.
22:50It's not one.
22:51I'm afraid it was Einstein.
22:52Last question.
22:53Named person of the century by Time Magazine in 1999.
22:57Einstein.
22:58It was Einstein for £100.
22:59That was a tricky one, wasn't it?
23:00Yeah, that one just tripped us up a little bit.
23:01It was, but you know what?
23:02You've got 13 questions out of 15, right?
23:03But it was just that big money one.
23:04Yeah.

23:23Yeah, of course.
23:24Yeah.
23:25Oh, what a shame.
23:26But still, very well done.
23:27And because you did so well in the first round as well, we add those numbers together.
23:31The £410 will join the £800 to make £1,210.
23:36We'll see if it's enough to see you through to the next round.
23:39Well done.
23:40You can head back.
23:44Let's find out who's next to play.
23:47Jade and Kira, you are 2-0 up.
23:50So, only one question right and you will be at that run choosing the next category.
23:55Adam and Faraz, yet to score.

24:42Not just lumbered with diamond and gold like you were last time.

28:01Brilliant gameplay, guys.
28:03That was fantastic.
28:04That was more like it.
28:05Surprisingly well, yeah.
28:06That was okay.
28:07That is definitely more like it.
28:0913 correct answers there.
28:10That's quite good.
28:11Yeah.
28:12I'm proud of you.
28:13Yeah, you should be proud of yourselves.
28:15Only a couple of times with the timing of the higher amount and the lower amount.
28:20But other than that, absolutely smashed it.
28:22No messing around with Sylvia Plath.
28:24You got that straight away.
28:26And Frozen as well.
28:27Yeah.
28:28Yeah.
28:29Big Disney fans.
28:30Brilliant.
28:31Well done.
28:32You banked 880 pounds.
28:33We're going to add that to what you banked in the first round.
28:36So your total now is 1,180.
28:39Bit healthier, isn't it?
28:40Yeah, that's the second best.
28:41Fantastic.
28:42Right.
28:43You can head back to your podium.
28:44Well done.
28:49How will our final team do?
28:51Let's find out.
28:52Let's welcome Adam and Faraz.
28:54Come down to The Answer Run.
29:01So, a bit of work to do, boys.
29:03Just a bit.
29:04Yeah.
29:05You were already in third place.
29:06And now you're even more in third place.
29:08The target to beat is 1,180.
29:11There's £2,000 up for grabs.
29:13No choice in the categories.
29:15As I said, you've got yourselves...
29:17Bolton and Blackburn.
29:20You know where they are, at least.
29:22Yeah.
29:23Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:24You know, some people with their names.

29:27We'll give it a go.
29:28We'll give it a go.
29:29See what happens.
29:30Let's prep the answer on.
29:32You're going to be swiping left for Bolton and right for Blackburn.
29:36You've got 15 questions.
29:37And remember, each one has those two different amounts.
29:40So, you're looking to get your timing right.
29:42That could be make or break for you.
29:43Okay.
29:44Here's your first question.
29:45Hometown of comedian Diane Morgan, known for playing Philomena Kunk.

29:59I can tell you this one.

31:35No idea.
31:36Take a guess.
31:38Blackburn Buccaneer.
31:40Yeah, well done.
31:42Is further north.
31:44Bolton's further north.
31:45Yeah.
31:47It's Blackburn.
31:49Unlucky.

31:54I feel like we should know this one.
31:57It's Bolton.

32:22Wow.
32:23That is super close.
32:26Incredible.
32:27Ten questions correct there.
32:29Would you say two big guesses there?
32:31The canal question and the...
32:33Yeah.
32:35And the aircraft company.
32:37Well combined, they got you £700.
32:40Needed it.
32:42And because you got those last two questions right as well.
32:45You've banked £1,050.
32:47Taking your total to £1,310.
32:50You can head back over.
32:52Well done guys.
32:57So at the end of round two, let's take a look at the totals.
33:01Jade and Kira have £1,180.
33:04Lewis and Peter have £1,210.
33:07But in the lead with £1,310, Adam and Faraz.
33:12Yes.
33:14Sadly that means we've got to say goodbye to Jade and Kira.
33:18That was unlucky towards the end there wasn't it?
33:20It was so close.
33:21It was closer than we thought it would be.
33:23Well you were in it for ages and then those couple of lucky questions there that they got right.
33:28Have you had a good day?
33:29Oh it's been great.
33:30It's been great.
33:31It's been nice to be involved.
33:32Great stuff, lovely.
33:33Jade and Kira everybody.
33:37So that means Adam and Faraz, Lewis and Peter are going through to battle it out in our Head to Head.
33:43So here we are about to go into the Head to Head.
33:50Two sets of two friends, over 40 years, over 20 years and it all comes down to this and here is how it works.
33:57You are going to start with the money that you've banked so far so it could not be close with only £100 between them.
34:05The Head to Head is all about being in control of the answer run to decide who will start.
34:11We are going to play another race to the run.
34:14First team to give me three correct answers will take control.
34:17Fingers on buzzers.

34:58Adam and Faraz, you have control.
35:01Today's Head to Head category is...
35:03A to M, N to Z.
35:09I mean...
35:10It is what it is.
35:11Yeah.
35:12It really is, isn't it?
35:13The answers will be a single letter from A to M or from N to Z.
35:20There's a maximum of 20 questions in this answer room and this time it's against the clock.
35:26There's two minutes to bank as much as you can.
35:29Keep answering correctly and you'll stay in control but slip up and you'll hand the run over to Lewis and Peter who are ready to swoop like a seagull on your chips.

35:43We're going to be swiping left for A to M, right to N to Z.

39:00Of course.
39:01Just about.
39:02Could not have been closer.
39:04Lewis and Peter, you had control of the answer, Ron.
39:07And it was the Y chromosome.
39:10Should have known that.
39:11I think the other one's down that neck of the woods as well, isn't it?
39:13Yeah.
39:14In the end, your total was 1,460, but it just couldn't quite be Adam Farras' 1,810 and you're
39:22going through to today's final.

39:37It didn't.
39:38No, really not.
39:39All that stands between you and that money is one final answer run.
39:44This time, when you give a correct answer, the question will turn into a gold block.
39:49You've got just 90 seconds to answer eight questions correctly in a row.
39:54Your stack will reach the jackpot line and you'll take home all of your hard earned cash.
40:00If at any point you answer incorrectly or if one of the questions hits the top of the stack,
40:06you'll start building again from the bottom.
40:09So, your thinking time gets shorter the higher your stack climbs.
40:13If at the end of the 90 seconds you reach the halfway line, we'll give you half of your prize pot.
40:20Let's see the all-important choice of categories.
40:25We've got 40, 50, fox and badger.
40:29Not much of a choice.
40:30Not really, no.
40:31I feel like if you don't have any knowledge of that particular subject, that fox and badger's,
40:35it might be best to see.
40:36Very different.
40:37Let's go for it.
40:38Very different animals, I suppose, aren't they?
40:39Yeah, they are.
40:4040, 50 is very broad, so a wider scope of questions.
40:44Yeah, potentially.
40:45We're going to go for 40, 50.
40:46Yeah?
40:47Okay.
40:4840, 50.
