FunTranscript
00:00Welcome to the Inner Circle, the game where trust is just as important as knowledge.
00:05I know that you're bluffing.
00:07You don't.
00:07He's trying to frame me to be a liar, and I'm really not.
00:10The aim of the game, get the most money and the best brains into the final.
00:15To win, the players need to be strategic and outsmart the rest.
00:20Then they take their secret stash of cash and the person they trust the most to the final.
00:25What's made important? Money off the relationship.
00:27Oof, where two players will face the ultimate decision.
00:30Split the prize money and walk away as equals.
00:33Hooray!
00:34Or attempt to take it all by shafting the other player and leaving them with nothing.
00:39You little shafters!
00:41But the question is, who would you trust?
00:47I'm Kenny, I'm from Stornoway.
00:50I manufacture lobster grills for a living.
00:53Deadly with a detector, and I don't just mean metal.
00:57I'm Shannon, I'm a videographer from Bangor in Northern Ireland.
01:00I've got the experience under my belt of one game.
01:02Let's hope I'm still in a sharing mood.
01:04I'm Elaine, I'm from Eirchester.
01:06I work in a library, so I've mastered the art of staying quiet, even when I'm up to something.
01:12I'm Chris, a deputy bar manager from Leeds.
01:15In this game all about trust, I'm an open book.
01:18But let's see how good these people are at reading.
01:22I'm Gabby, I'm a student from Hertfordshire.
01:24I've got quiet confidence, big brain energy, and I'm ready for the long game.
01:29I'm Ellie, and I'm a personal trainer and yoga teacher from the Wirral.
01:32And I don't just train bodies, I train to win.
01:34Welcome, everyone.
01:39You are about to face four rounds.
01:42After every round, one of you will be eliminated.
01:45However, if you win, you'll secure immunity for that round, meaning that you will be safe from elimination.
01:52Plus, you'll receive a game-changing power.
01:56And I mean game-changing.
01:58This is going to give you a big advantage and hopefully get you one step closer.
02:02Because remember, only two of you can make it through to that final.
02:06Anyone that's eliminated, though, will be back tomorrow to have another go, so it's not all bad.
02:12We've got two new faces on the inner circle, Elaine and Chris.
02:16Welcome.
02:18Elaine, you're a school librarian.
02:20I am.
02:21Are you ready to judge the books by their covers?
02:24Absolutely.
02:24I'm just whispering in case.
02:26Yes, I am, yeah.
02:27Would you say you were an honest person? Have you ever told any fibs?
02:31I work in a school, so to keep myself amused, I sometimes tell white lies to the children, yes.
02:39What kind of thing?
02:41I have told them that I used to be in Coldplay when we were at university.
02:46I love this. What were you? Lead guitar? Drums?
02:50Lead guitar.
02:51Oh, my God.
02:51And then I left and then Chris Martin and the boys went on without me.
02:54Well, hopefully none of them are watching this.
02:56Otherwise, you've just been found out.
03:00Chris, you run a bar.
03:01When you're not in a bar, what else do you do?
03:03Well, I also do a bit of drag.
03:05No!
03:06Yes!
03:06This is fabulous. What's your drag name?
03:09Tina Mean.
03:10I'll be keep them keen and you can be Tina Mean.
03:14Bring it on.
03:15Brilliant.
03:16Gabby, welcome back. You left us very early on yesterday. Do you think you might switch tactics today?
03:22I think I might. I think I was, I tried to be really honest and open last time. I'm not sure if I'm going to change that or keep it to the same. So, you guys will have to try and find out.
03:32Well, we'll look forward to that. I'll catch up with the rest of you a little bit later on. Okay, let's talk money.
03:40Earlier on, the Inner Circle randomly assigned each player a secret stash of money. One of them will have absolutely zilch and one of them will be sitting pretty on top of a cash amount of £4,000.
03:53So, for our players, Inner Circle, please reveal the secret stashes.
04:02And for you at home, you can see everyone's secret stash amount too, so you always know where the cash is.
04:08And if you think I know how much each player's got, you'd be wrong. I only find out at the end, like everyone else in the room.
04:27Now down to business. Your mission is simple.
04:30You have got four rounds to get yourself and some big money into that final.
04:36So, whoever bags the most points in this game will secure immunity and pocket the first power.
04:41It's a lovely one. It's £1,000 to add to your secret stash.
04:46It's time for round one, moving in circles.
04:51I'll ask a question.
04:52All our players need to do is stand in the section with the correct answer to score one point.
04:57If they're brave enough to go it alone, they'll score three points.
05:02After each question, you will have seven seconds to stand on the answer,
05:06so you need to be alert, quick and decisive.
05:09Let's play.
05:13Good luck, everyone.
05:15Question one.
05:16Your options are World Book Day, Groundhog Day, Valentine's Day.
05:21Your question is, which of these days took place the earliest in 2025?
05:30Go, go, go, go.
05:38OK, so we have a split decision.
05:40We have Shannon on World Book Day.
05:42We have Chris, Kenny and Ellie and Gabby on Valentine's Day.
05:47And we have Elaine on Groundhog Day.
05:50I wonder who's right.
05:51Inner Circle, please reveal the correct answer.
05:55Ooh, Groundhog Day.
05:58It was the 2nd of February.
05:59Then Valentine's Day comes next.
06:01And then World Book Day is on the 6th of March.
06:04Elaine went all on her own.
06:06Well done for being brave, Elaine.
06:07Three points for you there.
06:09Your options are The Pips, The Vandellas, The Miracles.
06:17Your question is, which one of these is the name of the singing group fronted by Martha Reeves?
06:22Again, we have a split decision.
06:35We have Chris on The Miracles and we have Ellie, Gabby, Kenny, Shannon and Elaine on The Vandellas.
06:42Inner Circle, please, will you reveal the correct answer?
06:47The Vandellas it is.
06:48One point for you.
06:49Well done.
06:50The Miracles were Smokey Robinson.
06:52The Inner Circle is going to make things a little bit more tricky now.
06:57You're going to have four possible options.
07:00And they are...
07:02Square, Circle, Triangle, Pentagon.
07:06The question is...
07:08Which of these shapes is worn by the highest rank of faceless pink guards in the TV series Squid Games?
07:16Seven seconds.
07:16Oh, your yoga came in handy there.
07:27I saw that staggling.
07:30OK.
07:31Again, we have Shannon.
07:33He's gone on his own for Triangle.
07:35Kenny's on his own for Pentagon.
07:38Gabby, you're on your own for Circle.
07:39And then we have Ellie, Chris and Elaine on Square.
07:43What's the correct answer, please?
07:46Square it is.
07:47That's one point.
07:49Your options are...
07:50Arms, legs, chest, head.
07:54And your question is...
07:56Greaves are pieces of armour typically made to protect which body part?
08:00Greaves.
08:01Seven seconds.
08:10In the nick of time, Ellie and Elaine on legs.
08:14Chris and Shannon on head.
08:16Gabby on chest.
08:17Kenny on arms.
08:18The correct answer is...
08:21Legs.
08:22Was that a guess, girls?
08:24Yeah.
08:24I know you too, though, because Greaves, S, so obviously it's got to be arms and legs.
08:29Oh, clever.
08:31Nice thinking.
08:32One point for you both.
08:34This is your last chance to win some points.
08:35Remember, there are three points up for grabs if you correctly go it alone.
08:39Your options are...
08:41Inception.
08:43Interstellar.
08:44Insomnia.
08:45Invictus.
08:46And your question is...
08:48Which of these films was not directed by Christopher Nolan?
08:52Your time has started.
08:53Kenny in the nick of time there.
09:03Everybody is on Invictus.
09:06Are they right?
09:09Yay!
09:11It's Invictus.
09:12One point for you all.
09:14Clint Eastwood directed that one.
09:17Well done.
09:17That was the last question, so please return to your podiums.
09:24In a circle, please reveal who's won that round.
09:30Elaine.
09:31Look at you.
09:32First day.
09:33Congratulations.
09:34You basically got every single question right there, and you bagged three points for going
09:40it alone.
09:40Oh, fantastic.
09:41That's one for you all to remember.
09:43She's got the brains.
09:44I wonder if she's got the brawn.
09:46As the winner, you have secured your spot in the next round, and you've won the first
09:51power, which is £1,000.
09:53To add to your secret stash, you do have the brawn.
09:56Has it made a big difference to you?
09:58A little.
09:59A little.
10:01Okay.
10:01I see how this is going.
10:03Right.
10:04It is time for the first vote.
10:09One of you and your secret stash is about to be eliminated.
10:13Elaine, you have immunity, so you are safe for now.
10:17For the rest of you, you really need to fight to remain in the game.
10:20Remember, you want the most money and the best brains in that final.
10:24That's your motivation here.
10:26Who stays?
10:27Who goes?
10:28That is down to you.
10:29The floor is open.
10:32Well, I've got four keys, so you have to keep me in.
10:36It's the best chance of winning big money.
10:39And I will start answering questions properly.
10:43I've got a good amount, but I don't want to give away what it is because I don't want
10:46someone to steal it later on.
10:48But I think the most important thing is, yes, someone who can answer general knowledge
10:51questions when it's not multiple choice, and someone who you think is trustworthy.
10:56So that's what I'm looking for.
10:57Yeah, I'll be honest, I've got one of the middle amounts of money, so I haven't got
11:02the two lowest, I haven't got the two highest.
11:04I'm somewhere in the middle, so I wouldn't lie about that.
11:07But also, I've got quite a lot of those right.
11:09So I was just behind a lane, I think, in second place, though, so.
11:13What Kenny's saying I find really interesting based on what I've got on my screen.
11:18So I think he might be lying.
11:19Well, you must have nothing then, do you?
11:22No.
11:23Do you think he's lying or know he's lying?
11:25I know he's lying.
11:26Is he going to lose a 14 if you vote me off?
11:28And I think, I know this game, I've played this game before, so.
11:32I know I've got 4K, so I'm definitely voting you.
11:35Okay.
11:36But I mean, I've got a good sum of money as well.
11:39Have you got 4K as well?
11:40I don't have 4K.
11:41I'm not going to get involved in your little fight.
11:43I know I didn't do so well in that general knowledge round,
11:46but my questions and my areas didn't come up.
11:49So if you felt really strong and confident in that round with those questions,
11:52and you feel like your areas of weakness haven't come up,
11:54they might be mine.
11:55So it's probably worthwhile keeping me in the game.
11:57Elaine, what are your thoughts on this?
11:59I think it's quite interesting to see that already there's a little bit of
12:03lying going on from either Gabby or Kenny.
12:07So I'm keeping my eye on those two.
12:11Fantastic.
12:11Well, it is time now for you to lock in your decisions.
12:15Let's find out who's going to be cast out of the inner circle first.
12:42Kenny, I'll start with you.
12:44Who are you going to cast out?
12:46I'm 100% voting Gabby because I know she's lying.
12:51Shannon, who's got your vote?
12:53I voted for Chris because I didn't like his answer about the questions not coming up.
12:57It's general knowledge, so I don't feel confident it has his general knowledge ability.
13:01Elaine, who are you casting out?
13:03I voted for Gabby because I just didn't believe you out of you and Kenny.
13:10Interesting.
13:10Chris, who's got your vote?
13:13I voted for Ellie because she admitted she's got a middle amount of money and I think there
13:18wasn't much to go off so far, so that was my vote.
13:21Gabby, who are you casting out?
13:23I obviously voted for Kenny because I'm 100% sure that he's lying.
13:28And Ellie, who are you casting out of the inner circle?
13:30I'm voting off Gabby, sorry.
13:32I'm just out of the two of you.
13:33I didn't believe you.
13:34OK, well, sadly, that is three votes for you, Gabby.
13:39Oh, my goodness me.
13:41How are you feeling about that?
13:42That's all right.
13:43I'll be back again tomorrow.
13:45Well, listen, thank you very much for playing, but you have been cast out of the inner circle.
13:53Well, who knows what that's done to the game?
13:56Only you at home know where the money is.
13:59You put your trust in Kenny.
14:00You've said goodbye to Gabby.
14:02I wonder if you've made the right choice.
14:04There's no going back now.
14:06With one person down, it's time for round two.
14:09This time, as well as immunity, the power on offer is peak.
14:14Now, this is a big one because you will be able to have a sneak peek at someone's secret stash.
14:21And given that your ultimate goal is to get as much money as possible into that final,
14:24this could really start to heat things up nicely.
14:28It's time for round two.
14:30Fisher's Circle.
14:32This is all about being quick, taking control, and firing those killer shots.
14:38If you get any two questions correct, you'll get into the vicious circle.
14:42Once you're in, every answer will give you the power to get rid of another player.
14:47But if you get just one wrong, you will be frozen out of the next question.
14:52You need to play smart, play sneaky, and take down your competition.
14:57Last player standing wins, so you need to get ready to fight for survival.
15:02Let's play.
15:02Here's your first question.
15:06The name of the hair colour known as brond is a blend of brunette and which other word?
15:11Yes, Ellie.
15:12Blonde.
15:13That is correct.
15:15You're on your way.
15:16The two main ingredients of the Indian dish, sag aloo, are spinach and which other vegetable?
15:21Oh, that's one of my favourites.
15:24Kenny?
15:25Bees.
15:26It's incorrect.
15:28You are frozen out of the next question.
15:30The correct answer is Potato.
15:33Featuring members Matt Willis and Harry Judd, the supergroup McBusted, were a merger of Busted
15:39and which other band?
15:41Yes, Shannon.
15:42McFly.
15:43Is correct.
15:44You're on your way.
15:45Everyone's back in play.
15:47Which American painter earned the nickname Jack the Dripper due to his methods of applying
15:52paint to canvas?
15:54Yes, Shannon.
15:55Jackson Pollock.
15:56That is correct.
15:57You are in the circle.
15:58If you get your next question correct, that will put you in control and you can take out
16:03a player.
16:05Which animal follows downward facing and upward facing in the names of two yoga poses?
16:10Yes, Shannon.
16:11Dog.
16:12That's correct.
16:13That was a perfect question for you, Ellie.
16:15Right, Shannon, who are you taking out?
16:18I'm going to take out Ellie because I think she's a threat to me.
16:23OK, Ellie, I'm afraid you are out.
16:25Opened in 1843, Tivoli Gardens is an amusement park in the centre of which Scandinavian capital
16:33city?
16:35Kenny.
16:37Stockholm.
16:38I'm afraid that's incorrect.
16:39You are frozen at...
16:40Correct answer was Copenhagen.
16:43In geometry, what name is given to the longest possible line across a circle which is twice
16:47as long as the radius?
16:49Yes, Shannon.
16:49Diameter.
16:50That's correct.
16:52Who would you like to take out?
16:54I'm going to take out Elaine, I think.
16:56She's the next threat.
16:58Elaine, you are out.
16:59In Disney's 1937 film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which of the dwarfs' names comes
17:06first alphabetically?
17:09Yes, Chris.
17:10Doc.
17:12I'm afraid not.
17:13You are frozen at...
17:14Of the next question.
17:16It was bashful.
17:18In 2021, Emma Raducanu won which tennis Grand Slam tournament for the first time?
17:24Yes, Shannon.
17:25The US Open.
17:26That is correct.
17:28Who would you like to take out?
17:30I'll go for Kenny.
17:31Kenny, you're out.
17:32Sorry, love.
17:33Sorry.
17:34Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep was adapted into which 1982
17:39science fiction film?
17:42Yes, Shannon.
17:43Blade Runner.
17:44Yes, brilliant film.
17:46Obviously, there's only one other person to get rid of, so I'm afraid, Chris, you are out,
17:51which means that you smashed this one, Shannon.
17:54You are the winner of this game.
17:56Congratulations.
17:58And as the winner, you have secured your place in the next round, and of course, you've won
18:03that second power, which is a lovely one.
18:05It's a sneaky peek at someone's secret stash.
18:08Whose cash stash would you like to have a sneaky peek at?
18:12I think I believe, Ali.
18:14I'm not sure about Kenny, but I'm going to go for Elaine, I think.
18:17OK.
18:18In a circle.
18:20Please let Shannon have a peek at Elaine's secret stash.
18:29Anything you'd like to share?
18:31Not at the moment, no.
18:33Fair enough.
18:35We're now heading for another casting out.
18:37It's time for the second vote.
18:43Who do you think should stay?
18:44Who do you think needs to go?
18:47Everyone has to be on their A game.
18:48Another player and their secret stash are about to leave.
18:51Plus, I wonder if Shannon will let us know what he just saw.
18:56OK, everyone?
18:57It's down to you.
18:58The floor is open.
19:00I'll stick with what I said before.
19:01Like I said, I've got one of the middle amounts.
19:03And I think, as you can see, my general knowledge is all right.
19:06Obviously, Shannon thinks I'm a bit of a threat.
19:07But ultimately, what we want to do is have good general knowledge
19:11in the final to build the cash builder.
19:12So I hope that's a reason for people to want me to stay in the game.
19:16I think you were a threat in that getting towards me
19:19in the vicious circle.
19:19But I think you'll be good going forward
19:21and someone good to have in the final.
19:23Yeah.
19:24Kenny?
19:25Well, you got 4K straight away coming into it with me.
19:28So I know I haven't answered too many questions right and that,
19:32but it'll come.
19:34Elaine?
19:35I was too slow on the buzzer there,
19:37but I knew a lot of those answers.
19:39So I think I'm quite strong to take through still to the final round.
19:43Chris, what are you thinking?
19:44Well, I have the 1,000.
19:46So I think it'd be unwise to get rid of me.
19:49Yes, I've not performed too well in the quiz rounds.
19:52I was buzzing, buzzing, buzzing.
19:54But Shannon knew I could rock it on that buzzer that round.
19:56No one could get in.
19:58So keep me in the game.
20:00I've got good money.
20:01I was buzzing then.
20:02I knew a lot of the answers.
20:03Shannon, are you going to reveal what you've just seen?
20:07It's a decent amount Elaine has.
20:10So I think it'd be good to keep her in the game.
20:12Well, it is now time for you to lock in your decisions.
20:15The votes are in.
20:36Kenny, tell me, who are you casting out?
20:38I voted for Chris because he was equally as bad as me in that round.
20:45So that's the only reason.
20:49Shannon, who are you casting out?
20:51I also voted for Chris because I wouldn't like him in the final answering questions.
20:55Elaine, who's got your vote?
20:57I voted for Kenny.
20:58Sorry, just based on that last round.
21:02Chris.
21:03I voted for Ellie.
21:04Just the same reason as last time.
21:06She's admitted she's got a middle amount of money.
21:08And there seems to be higher money at play.
21:11And Ellie, who are you casting out?
21:13I voted for you, Chris.
21:14Sorry.
21:15Just because obviously general knowledge questions were a bit weak on that round.
21:19Well, very sadly, Chris, that is three votes to you.
21:24Are you gussed?
21:26Absolutely terribly.
21:28Oh, I'm all right.
21:29And we will see you tomorrow.
21:31But thank you so much for bringing great energy to today's game.
21:34But you have been cast out of the inner circle.
21:40So Chris claimed he had the thousand pounds, but only you at home know if he was telling the truth.
21:46There's now just two more chances to win immunity and a power that could help you through to that final.
21:53And this time the power is swap.
21:56So if you win this round, you can swap stashes with any player.
22:01So if your secret stash is pretty low, you really want to win this one.
22:05It's time for round three, connecting circles.
22:09This is a pairs game, so you're going to have to work together.
22:13You'll each have two chances to win points.
22:16And the person with the most points will win immunity and that all-important power.
22:21Each question has two correct answers.
22:24You've both got to stand on a correct answer.
22:26If you get one right, you score one point each.
22:29If you get them both right, that's three points each.
22:32So it's time to get thinking, get moving and get connecting.
22:37Let's play.
22:38Our first randomly selected pair is Elaine and Kenny.
22:45Your answers are...
22:47Chasing Pavements, Rolling in the Deep, Hello, Set Fire to the Rain, Hometown Glory, Easy on Me.
22:56You have 15 seconds to lock in both answers.
22:59Your time will start as soon as I finish reading the question.
23:02Which two of these songs feature on 19, the debut album by Adele?
23:0815 seconds on the clock.
23:10And it goes really fast.
23:12Chasing Pavements, Hometown Glory, I think.
23:15Hometown Glory.
23:17Or Rolling in the Deep.
23:19I have no idea, you know what I'm saying?
23:21What am I on?
23:22Chasing Pavements.
23:23Yeah.
23:24OK.
23:26Elaine, you seemed pretty confident.
23:27Are you an Adele fan?
23:29Yeah, I am.
23:30Yeah.
23:30In a circle, please reveal the correct answers.
23:34Hurrah.
23:35Well done.
23:36Three points.
23:38Please return to your podium.
23:40Our next pair is Ellie and Shannon.
23:44Your answers are...
23:46Nobby Stiles, Gordon Banks, Bobby Charlton, Jeff Hurst, Ray Wilson and Martin Peters.
23:53Your question is...
23:54Which two of these scored for England in the 1966 FIFA World Cup final?
24:0015 seconds.
24:01OK, I don't know the answer to this, but the only person I've heard of was Bobby Charlton.
24:05I don't...
24:05So, I'm going to try and follow your lead a bit, if you...
24:08OK, go for a Bobby Charlton.
24:09I don't think it was him, but...
24:10Do you know?
24:10I really don't know the answer.
24:14It might be a yes.
24:18In a circle, please reveal the correct answers.
24:23So, Jeff Hurst, yes.
24:24The other person was Martin Peters.
24:28Jeff Hurst scored a hat-trick and Martin Peters scored the second goal.
24:32One of them was right, so one point for you both.
24:35Please return to your podiums.
24:37Next up is Kenny and Ellie.
24:41Your answers are...
24:43George H.W. Bush, Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Herbert Hoover and Theodore Roosevelt.
24:53Your question is...
24:55Do you know the answers to this at all?
25:04Any idea?
25:05Odd.
25:06Yeah.
25:06Odd?
25:07Well, I think Bill Clinton did.
25:08And who else was it?
25:09Joe Biden?
25:11Or George...
25:12Any idea?
25:13Right, go with Jimmy Carter.
25:14Running out of time.
25:18Probably both wrong.
25:19I haven't got a clue.
25:21We have gone for Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.
25:24In a circle, are those correct?
25:27One of them is.
25:28So, one point for you both.
25:30Bill Clinton served two terms.
25:32Theodore Roosevelt served two terms.
25:35Everyone else served one.
25:37For the last question in this round, our pair are Shannon and Elaine.
25:41Your answers are...
25:43Gavin and Stacey, The Traitors, Ghosts, Peppa Pig, Peaky Blinders and The Weakest Link.
25:50Your question is...
25:52Which two of these television programmes were first broadcast in the UK in the 2010s?
25:59Um...
26:00I would say...
26:012010s.
26:03Would that be Gavin and Stacey?
26:04It's just had an anniversary, hasn't it?
26:06I thought it was earlier than that.
26:06Seven seconds.
26:07Peaky Blinders.
26:09I think Peaky Blinders.
26:11Not Ghosts, that's new.
26:12Inner Circle.
26:18Please reveal the correct answers.
26:21Oh.
26:22What was it?
26:22Peaky Blinders was 2013 and Ghosts was 2019.
26:27Gavin and Stacey was 2007.
26:29One point for you both.
26:31And that was the last question.
26:33Please return to your podiums.
26:34Ooh, we have a tie.
26:41OK.
26:42Kenny and Elaine both have four points.
26:46So, to decide who wins, we're going to play fastest finger on the buzzer.
26:50Here we go.
26:51The full name of the government office, known as the DWP, is the Department for Work and
26:57what?
26:57Yes, Kenny.
26:58Pensions.
26:59You're correct.
27:00Well done.
27:03You've won immunity and that crucial power, which means that you can now make a swap or
27:09you can keep what you've got.
27:11What would you like to do?
27:13I am keeping what I've got because I've got the 4K.
27:17Kenny, I have to say, that shirt is a winner.
27:23You are serving in that shirt.
27:25Thank you very much.
27:26It's a very bold choice.
27:27Who is watching you at home?
27:29I've got the missus, I've got two daughters, a stepdaughter and three grandkids.
27:34Oh my goodness.
27:35So, quite a big family then.
27:36Quite a big family, yeah.
27:37I feel like if you did get through to the final, that money's going to get spent for you.
27:41It will.
27:42It's probably spent already, in fact.
27:44So, here's what we know so far.
27:48Elaine pocketed that £1,000 from the first power and then Shannon had a peek at her stash.
27:56Kenny and Gabby both claim to have the top amount and Kenny has just opted not to swap.
28:03It's time to make another big decision.
28:08Things just got very serious because only two of you can make it through to that final.
28:13It is time to get your stories straight.
28:16Who goes?
28:17Who stays?
28:19The decision is yours.
28:20The floor is open.
28:22I think, Kenny, you've shown that you're trustworthy.
28:24It's proven that you weren't lying earlier when you said you had the 4K.
28:28So, I think if we combined our collective pots and you know I can answer questions,
28:33I think we'd be a mean force in the final.
28:36I'd be interested to know, Shannon, what do you have in your stash?
28:39It's sadly more than yours, but I did have a peek at Elaine's.
28:44Elaine's decent, but mine would top it.
28:47Yeah, I've got a nice amount of money and a decent amount of general knowledge
28:50and I'm hoping, Kenny, that you remember I saved you in that Adele round.
28:54I know that I might only have, like, a middle amount of money,
28:59but at the same time, I've been very honest this whole game.
29:02I think, Shannon, there's still a bit of grey area about what you've got in yours.
29:05OK, it is time to lock in your decisions.
29:09Kenny, tell me, who are you casting out?
29:27I voted for Ellie.
29:29Nothing personal, but Shannon's an answering machine
29:33and I kind of know that Elaine's got money and everything,
29:36so that's my reason.
29:39Elaine, who's got your vote?
29:41Sorry, I voted for you, Ellie.
29:43I believe that Kenny's got the 4K
29:46and Shannon's got some great general knowledge,
29:49so it's two good ones to take through.
29:52Shannon, who are you casting out?
29:53Fortunately, I also went for Ellie for the same reasons.
29:57Sorry, Ellie. Sorry to do it again.
29:59Ellie, who are you casting out?
30:01I'm voting at you, Shannon,
30:02just because I wasn't sure what you've got inside your stash,
30:05so that was the reason.
30:06Well, very sadly, Ellie, that is three votes for you.
30:11Did you see it coming?
30:12I did see it coming, to be fair.
30:14But I play as an honest game, so...
30:16We'll see you again tomorrow, but thank you so much for playing.
30:19You have been cast out of the inner circle.
30:21We have our final three players.
30:27Congratulations to you all, especially Elaine.
30:30It's her first day.
30:31You've done really well.
30:32However, only two of them can make it through to the final
30:35and be in with a chance of walking away with their combined stash.
30:39Remember, I am still not certain where the money is,
30:42but if everyone's telling the truth, I may have a good idea.
30:47The winner of this last round wins that final power
30:50and will control who joins them in the final.
30:55I wonder if there's any allegiances forming here.
30:57I suspect there is.
30:59It's time now for our last round, Circle of Clues.
31:04So for each question, I'm going to read out a series of three clues.
31:08The quicker you buzz in with the correct link,
31:10the more points you will win.
31:12So as soon as you think you know, buzz in.
31:14But remember, if you get it wrong,
31:16you will be frozen out of the rest of that question.
31:19It's time to get your brains in gear.
31:21Let's play.
31:26Question one.
31:27Can you name the actor linked by these three clues?
31:32And your first clue is...
31:34This actor played the owner of Spooky Island
31:37in the 2002 live-action Scooby-Doo film.
31:43Next clue for two points.
31:46He first gained recognition for his work on Not the Nine O'Clock News.
31:51Yes, Elaine.
31:52Rowan Atkinson?
31:53Is correct.
31:54Two points for you.
31:55Well done.
31:56The third clue would have been...
31:57And he famously played Mr Bean.
32:00Question two.
32:02Can you name the country linked by these three clues?
32:05And your first clue is...
32:07Usually hummed and swayed along to,
32:10this country's national anthem has no official words.
32:16Clue two.
32:18The language of this country is one of the most widely spoken in the world.
32:22Yes, Shannon.
32:23Spin.
32:23That's correct for two points.
32:26The third clue would have been...
32:28The capital city is Madrid.
32:30Question number three.
32:32Can you name the TV show linked by these three clues?
32:36This TV show follows two intelligence agents.
32:39One is a conspiracy theorist and the other is a sceptic.
32:42Yes, Elaine.
32:42The X-Files.
32:44Is correct for three points.
32:45Well done.
32:46David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson play Mulder and Scully FBI agents.
32:51Would have been clue number three.
32:53Last question.
32:54Can you name the profession linked by these three clues?
32:58One of the oldest medical professions in the world, this role dates back to 7,000 BC.
33:03Next clue for two points.
33:09As part of becoming one of these, you may study for a BDS.
33:15Yes, Shannon.
33:16Dentist.
33:18Two points to you.
33:19That was correct.
33:20The third clue would have been...
33:22You would go to this person for a filling or a root canal.
33:25That's the end of the round.
33:30Inner Circle.
33:31Please will you reveal the player with the most points?
33:36Elaine.
33:37Well done.
33:39First day.
33:40You're through to the final and you've now won the power to control the vote.
33:49Remember, you need somebody you can trust,
33:51but you also need somebody that can help increase your stash in the final cash builder.
33:57Kenny and Shannon.
33:59It is time to convince Elaine why she should take either one of you through to that final.
34:03Let's start with you, Kenny.
34:05Well, like I've said all along, I've got the 4K.
34:08Plus the fact that if I chose steel,
34:11there'd be a wicker man built up in Stormy before I left the studio.
34:16So it's up to yourself.
34:19OK.
34:20Shannon.
34:21So I think Kenny is trustworthy.
34:23I think he's shown that.
34:24But you need someone that can answer questions.
34:26So I've got two grand.
34:28You've got 1,500 because I know because I saw it.
34:30So add that to on top of what we get.
34:32You know how many questions we're both going to be able to answer.
34:35And I can also say,
34:36you can guarantee that I'm going to share the money with you.
34:38Gosh, who do you want to take through to the final?
34:42I thought that I had it fixed in my mind who I was going to choose.
34:47I'm going to choose, but I'm going to choose Shannon.
34:52I'm going to choose one.
34:53OK.
34:53I'm afraid then that, Kenny, commiseration.
34:57Understandable.
34:58You have played such an amazing game.
35:00I look forward to tomorrow's shirt, Kenny.
35:03But for now, you have been cast out of the inner circle.
35:06Our final two.
35:12It's time for the cash builder.
35:15This is the last chance for Elaine and Shannon to work together
35:18and add some money to their combined secret stash.
35:21Remember, I'm still not certain I know anything.
35:24But here's a quick reminder of your money amounts for everyone at home.
35:31You are now playing together to add to your combined stash.
35:34I am going to give you £100 for each correct answer
35:37and you've got 60 seconds to get as many as you can right.
35:41But my advice to you is to say pass if you don't know
35:45as I cannot move on to the other person until I get a right answer.
35:50Good luck.
35:51Let's play.
35:55What was the nationality of the fashion designer Louis Vuitton?
35:59Italian.
36:00Incorrect.
36:01French.
36:02Yes.
36:02The 1996 UK number one single Three Lions is by David Baddiel,
36:07Frank Skinner and which band?
36:09Lightning Seeds.
36:09Correct.
36:10In 1770, weaver James Hargreaves patented
36:14the natural successor to the spinning wheel, the spinning what?
36:18Jenny.
36:19Yes.
36:20Joy, fear and disgust are characters in which 2015...
36:22Inside Out.
36:23Yes.
36:23Which London-based Premier League football club
36:26play their home games at Craven Cottage?
36:28Fulham.
36:29Correct.
36:30Which term for a male romantic partner is also the name
36:33for a loose-fitting jumper style?
36:37Pass.
36:38It was boyfriend.
36:38Which month of the year gets its name from the Latin word
36:41for the number 10?
36:44October.
36:45Incorrect.
36:48Pass.
36:48It was December.
36:49Which country of Southeastern Europe borders the Black Sea
36:52between Bulgaria and Ukraine?
36:57Sorry.
36:58You're out of time.
36:59It was Romania.
37:02You did very well.
37:03You answered five questions correctly,
37:05meaning you have added £500 to your combined cash stash.
37:09Well done, both of you.
37:12Elaine and Shannon had the chance to work together.
37:15They did it very well.
37:16But now the inner circle has one final test for them both.
37:20It's time to play Split or Shaft.
37:23Everything has led to this point.
37:29Remember that you are playing for your combined cash total.
37:33I'm still not certain what you've both got hidden away.
37:35Only the viewers at home know what you're truly worth.
37:39We now have three possible outcomes.
37:42You can win together and half the cash,
37:44but only if you decide to split.
37:46You can lose the cash together and go home with nothing
37:49if you both choose to shaft.
37:51Or if we see a split and a shaft,
37:54the Shafter wins it all.
37:56Shannon, you know what Elaine's got
37:58because you had a peek at her stash earlier on.
38:01Based on what you know,
38:03are you happy with the money left in the game?
38:06Yes.
38:07Elaine, you chose to bring Shannon through to the final
38:11and he claimed he had £2,000.
38:14What did you read into that?
38:16I thought that was the truth.
38:18OK.
38:19Well, it is now time for you both to have a little chat
38:22and discuss what you'd like to do.
38:24I would very much like to split.
38:27I'm going to Shaft.
38:29The reason I'm going to do that
38:30is because I know I can trust myself
38:33and I know as a librarian you're probably pretty trustworthy
38:36and you have seemed pretty trustworthy throughout the game,
38:39but this removes any doubt, any trust.
38:42And what I'm going to do is if you hit share,
38:44I promise that I will share the money with you afterwards.
38:47This is the most logical way to do it.
38:50So then why not just split?
38:51Because I don't know if you might Shaft me.
38:54So I'm telling you I'm 100% going to Shaft you
38:56and I want you to hit share
38:58and I promise that I will share the money with you afterwards.
39:00So you are now backing me into a corner?
39:05I'm not backing you into a corner.
39:06I'm just making the most logical choice
39:09to make sure that we both go away with half the money.
39:12I'm not going to Shaft someone and go back...
39:14I couldn't go back to my job.
39:15I'm Shafting someone over something
39:17that's not a life-changing amount of money.
39:18So I promise you I will share the money with you.
39:21I just don't understand if you promised that
39:22why you wouldn't just choose split?
39:24Because you might Shaft me
39:27and I haven't known you long enough,
39:29as lovely as you seem,
39:30I haven't known you long enough to be able to trust you.
39:32Here's a thought for you, Shannon.
39:35How about if Elaine says that she'll Shaft you
39:39and give you the money afterwards and you trust her,
39:43so therefore you split and you let her Shaft?
39:46That just adds more complication to it.
39:49Why?
39:49Because I've already offered that, so she offers that,
39:52then there's no guarantee that I will.
39:53Well, then it's a game, because you are asking her to trust
39:56that you're going to give her the money after the show,
39:57and so I'm saying, if you're that trustworthy,
40:00why don't you let her Shaft you?
40:03And then she'll promise to give you the cash after the show.
40:06Because then it could just go on indefinitely
40:07and I could offer a counteroffer of the same thing
40:09and she could offer a counteroffer.
40:11This is honestly the best way to do it.
40:13Well, it is now time for you to lock in your decisions.
40:23You're both locked in.
40:32Elaine, please really tell me how much was in your secret stash
40:35at the very start of the game.
40:37£500.
40:38And then, of course, you won the £1,000.
40:40That's right.
40:41So you had £1,500 in total.
40:43That's correct.
40:44Shannon, what did you start with?
40:45I started with £50 and I was dishonest about that
40:48in the final stage of the game
40:50because you would have chosen Kenny
40:51and I felt I had no option, so I'm sorry for that.
40:55So, you added £500 that you brought through
40:59from the cash builder.
41:00That means you're playing for a combined total of £2,050.
41:04What would you spend that money on, Elaine?
41:07I would take my little boy on a holiday
41:11because he's always wanted to go to a water park.
41:13And then I turned 50 this week, so...
41:16Oh, do you?
41:16I do, yes.
41:17Oh, congratulations.
41:19It's the best decade.
41:20So I thought about hiring, like, a country house
41:24and having friends and family celebrate with me.
41:27Yeah.
41:27Amazing.
41:28OK.
41:29Shannon, what would you spend the cash on?
41:31My kids love climbing frames and going to the play park,
41:35so I told them I would build, like, a Ninja Warrior-style thing
41:37with monkey bars in the garden.
41:38Oh, my gosh.
41:39For them to play on.
41:40OK.
41:40Well, it is time to reveal
41:43if you've decided to split or shaft in a circle.
41:48Please, will you reveal today's decision?
41:50Oh, my gosh.
42:11Elaine, you have won.
42:13You've bagged the whole lot.
42:15Well done.
42:15Thank you very much.
42:16Sorry.
42:17Was that the plan all along?
42:19Yeah, I came into it saying that I was always going to shaft.
42:22I was hesitant until Shannon kind of backed me into a corner.
42:27OK.
42:28And, obviously, Shannon, you are walking away with nothing,
42:31so your strategy of trying to guarantee the split didn't pay off.
42:36You've played a very strong game.
42:37Your general knowledge is through the roof,
42:39but you are going home empty-handed.
42:42Well, who would you trust, and how would you play the game?
42:47We'll see you next time, here on The Inner Circle.
42:50We'll see you next time, here on The Inner Circle.
43:20See you next time, here on The Inner Circle.
