Transcript

00:00Welcome to the Inner Circle, the game where trust is 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 internship.

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 Dennis, I'm from Norwich, I'm a law student, and I'm here to do a robbery.

00:53I'm Sarah, I'm from Hertfordshire,

00:55and I work for the local council as an education administrator.

00:59I would say I'm not a risk taker, but I am an opportunity taker.

01:03I'm Suraj, I'm from Croydon, and I'm a finance manager.

01:06And I've calculated, by the end of this, I'll be in profit and they'll be in loss.

01:10I'm Holly, I'm an administrator from Cheshire,

01:13and I'll be keeping my cards close to my chest.

01:16I'm Jonathan, management consultant, originally from Belfast, but currently living in London.

01:21I won't let anyone take me for a fool.

01:24I'm Wendy, a team leader from Royston, and I'm going to do whatever I need to do to take the money home.

01:29Welcome, everybody.

01:33You are about to face four rounds.

01:36After every round, one of you will be eliminated.

01:39However, if you win, you'll secure immunity for that round, meaning you'll be safe from elimination.

01:45Plus, you'll receive a game-changing power, and I mean game-changing.

01:49This will give you a big advantage that should get you one step closer,

01:54because remember, only two of you can make it through to the final.

01:58Anyone that is eliminated, though, will be back tomorrow to have another go, so it's not all bad.

02:03OK, let's welcome our players.

02:05Dennis, you're a law student.

02:07Have you put together a strong case to help yourself get into the final?

02:11Well, as lawyers, we prepare the best we can, so I hope so.

02:14Would you describe yourself as a risk-taker?

02:17I think so, yeah, but I'm not reckless, but I'm willing to take a risk for the story.

02:24Fantastic.

02:25Sarah, what do you do?

02:26I work for my local council in education administration.

02:29OK, so would you say that makes you naturally diplomatic and good at negotiating?

02:35Yeah, negotiating I'm probably better at because I'm a mum to an eight-year-old girl.

02:40That involves a lot of negotiation.

02:42Negotiation and bribery, normally.

02:44Lots of it.

02:44I know how that feels.

02:45OK, well, welcome.

02:47Saraj, you're an accountant, so you know what I'm going to say.

02:50Are you good at crunching numbers?

02:52Yeah, I'm always in profit.

02:53Are you?

02:54And have you calculated your chances of winning today?

02:58I have calculated my chances, and I reckon I'm going to be in profit, and everyone else

03:03is going to be in loss.

03:04Well, look at that.

03:05Watch out for him, I would say, everyone.

03:07Exactly.

03:08Holly, does your role in admin make you naturally organised, would you say?

03:14I would say so.

03:15It's definitely allowed me to think more independently in my work.

03:18And what do you get up to outside of all of that?

03:20So I do horse riding, and I play lacrosse.

03:23Oh, wow.

03:24So I'm very active.

03:25Oh, my goodness me.

03:26Remind me what lacrosse is.

03:27It's always in the inner blight.

03:28It's like hockey in the air.

03:29Yes.

03:29And it's a contact sport, so it's quite rough and tumble.

03:33I reckon, yeah.

03:35You're a toughie.

03:35You're up for a little bit of a rumble today.

03:37Absolutely.

03:38Brilliant.

03:39Well, listen, we'll catch up a little bit more later on.

03:43Let's talk money.

03:45Earlier on, the Inner Circle randomly assigned each player a secret stash of cash.

03:50One of them will have absolutely nothing,

03:52and one of them will be sitting pretty on £4,000.

03:56So for our players, Inner Circle, please reveal the secret stashes.

04:02And for you at home, you can now see everyone's secret stash amount, too,

04:09so you always know where the cash is.

04:23They don't tell me, so I'll just be trying to work it out alongside everyone else.

04:27Your mission is now very simple.

04:29You've got four rounds to get yourself and some big money into the final,

04:34so whoever bags the most points in this game will secure immunity

04:38and pocket the first power, which is £1,000, to add to your secret stash.

04:44It's time for round one.

04:47Moving in circles.

04:50I'll ask a question.

04:51All our players need to do is stand in the section with the correct answer to score one point.

04:56If they're brave enough to correctly go it alone, they'll score three points.

05:01I wonder if you are brave enough to go it alone or follow the crowd.

05:05We'll find out.

05:06After each question, you will have seven seconds to stand on the answer,

05:10so you need to be super quick because it flies past.

05:14Let's play.

05:14Your options are baby doll dress, skater dress, mermaid dress.

05:22Your question is, which of these dresses would typically be the longest?

05:27Seven seconds.

05:28You need to leg it.

05:29Saraj, I'm just going to say that was very leisurely.

05:39You might need to speed things up.

05:42In a circle, please reveal the correct answer.

05:45Yep, mermaid dress.

05:47One point each.

05:49Following the crowd paid off at that point.

05:50Well done, everyone.

05:51Your options are...

05:53The Masters, PGA Championship, the Open.

05:57And your question is, which of the major men's golf championships

06:01is the only one held in the UK?

06:05Time started.

06:13Once again, you have all gone for the same answer, which is the Open.

06:17Are they correct?

06:19Well done again.

06:20The Open.

06:21That's one point.

06:22OK, the inner circle's going to make things a little bit more tricky now.

06:26We're going to give you four possible answers.

06:29And they are...

06:29C, we, sim, and ya.

06:33Your question is, what is the word for yes in Portuguese?

06:48In a circle, please reveal the correct answer.

06:50Well done, everyone.

06:53One point.

06:54C is Spanish, we is French, and ya is German.

06:58OK.

06:59Your options are...

07:00The Hunger Games, The Twilight Saga, A Court of Thorns and Roses, The Lord of the Rings.

07:08And your question is...

07:09The fairy realm of Prithian is a fictional setting in which book series?

07:14A fictional setting in which book series?

07:24OK.

07:25Once again, all gone for the same answer.

07:27Inner circle.

07:27Are they right?

07:30Yes, they are.

07:31OK.

07:32This is your last chance to win some points.

07:35Remember, there are three up for grabs if you correctly go it alone.

07:40Your answers are...

07:42J, K, L and M.

07:47Your question is, which of these letters does not appear in the name of any chemical element symbol on the periodic table?

07:54Which letter does not appear on the periodic table?

08:04OK.

08:05So, we've got Wendy and Dennis on L, and then we've got Siraj, Sarah, Jonathan and Holly on J.

08:12Inner circle.

08:13Who's right?

08:16J does not appear on the periodic table.

08:20That is one point.

08:21Point.

08:21And that was the last question, so please return to your podium.

08:28Well, funnily enough, we've got a tie break.

08:32So, Sarah and Siraj, you both have five points, and Holly and Jonathan, you also have five points.

08:38To decide who wins, we're going to play fastest finger on the buzzer.

08:42Here comes your question.

08:44As well as coffee liqueur, which alcohol is typically used to make a black Russian?

08:48Yes, Siraj.

08:49Vodka.

08:50Yes.

08:51Siraj, well done.

08:52That means you're the winner.

08:54And as the winner, you have secured your spot in the next round, and you've won the first power, which is £1,000 to add to your secret stash.

09:03Has that made much of a difference to you, Siraj?

09:06Yeah, it'll make a difference.

09:07It's another 1,000, so it's great.

09:08Yes, it is.

09:09OK.

09:10It's time now for your first vote.

09:11OK.

09:12One of you and your secret stash is about to be eliminated.

09:16One of you and your secret stash is about to be eliminated.

09:20Siraj, you have immunity, so you are safe for now.

09:23But the rest of you need to fight to stay in the game.

09:26Remember, you want the most money and the best brains in that final.

09:31That's your motivation.

09:32Who stays?

09:33Who goes?

09:34And that's down to you.

09:35The floor is open.

09:36Um, so I haven't got the 4,000, so who has got the 4,000?

09:42In the spirit of being honest, I have got £1,000.

09:45That's what came up.

09:46So I would break this into a couple of areas, right?

09:48Number one is how much money we've got.

09:50We're all lying, but I'm telling you I've got the 1,000.

09:53OK.

09:54You've obviously got 1,000 as well, Siraj, but that's perfect.

09:56There's general knowledge, so I think Dennis, Wendy, you obviously got that question wrong.

10:00Then there's the reactions we all had when we looked at our thing.

10:03I think Dennis, he pains me to say it, but it was a sort of a forced smile, I thought.

10:09So my position at the moment is because of the general knowledge

10:13and because of the way you reacted when you saw a number,

10:15you're who I'm thinking of voting for at the moment.

10:17I know I've got the last one wrong.

10:18Periodic tables aren't my best thing, but I was certainly one of the first

10:22to all the other questions, so I want to just let you know general knowledge is my thing,

10:27and I've got a high amount, so I'd love to play in the final with one of you.

10:30I do believe, Jonathan, I do believe you, and I also think you probably have the 500,

10:38because you said one of the higher amounts, which leaves two of the lower amounts between you three.

10:46And since none of you are saying you've got the 4,000…

10:52May I speak before you…

10:54Sorry?

10:55May I speak before you carry on?

10:56Yeah, sure.

10:58Sorry to interrupt you.

10:59I do think that when you first asked who had the 4,000 pound,

11:03Wendy was incredibly quick to sort of throw herself forward and give the…

11:09Yeah.

11:10Give the I've got it.

11:11I thought it was a little bit almost overconfident.

11:13I said I had a higher amount.

11:14She said the payer amount.

11:15I didn't say I've got the 4,000.

11:16I didn't say that.

11:17Yeah.

11:18Look, I know I made a mistake on the last question.

11:21Chemistry is not a strong suit.

11:23That's why I do law.

11:24But I think a big asset is, look, I was willing to take a risk and go away from the crowd.

11:30I also do have a very high amount, so I think I can be a big asset to anyone going forward in the game.

11:35My general knowledge…

11:36I mean, let's face it, we all nearly got all those questions right.

11:39We all have strong general knowledge.

11:41Well, in that last round, I wouldn't say chemistry is my strongest, but I knew that Jay was not on the periodic table.

11:48I have a very broad general knowledge.

11:51I think people are being very strategic right now, looking around.

11:56People aren't trying to give too much away.

11:59Dennis, unfortunately, may be at the start.

12:02I also caught a slightly forced smile, so I'm just looking around, listening.

12:09Well, it is now time for you to lock in your decisions.

12:13Okay, let's find out who's going to be cast out of the inner circle first.

12:39Dennis, I'm going to start with you.

12:41Who are you voting for?

12:43I'm voting for Jonathan.

12:44I can sense a bluff from a mile away.

12:47He's bluffing.

12:48He's not got anything.

12:49Sarah, who's got your vote?

12:51I'm voting for Dennis.

12:52Unfortunately, because he's very close to me, I didn't really see his initial reaction to the amount that came through.

12:57And although I'm not usually one to follow the crowd, the two opposites said that it was quite a telling story on his face, so I've gone with that for now.

13:06Siraj, who are you casting out of the inner circle?

13:09I vote for Zera.

13:11I felt that she had a lower amount.

13:13I think there was not much in it in the general knowledge.

13:16Holly, who are you casting out of the inner circle?

13:18I voted for Dennis.

13:20It's early days, got the last answer wrong and I did see the smile at the start.

13:25I thought it might be telling.

13:27Jonathan, who are you casting out?

13:29I vote for Dennis.

13:30Two reasons.

13:31Partly the smile that Holly also saw and partly at the end when the heat was on, you went for the, I've actually got a high amount, which made me think you were being desperately trying to scrabble for a reason to stay in.

13:41So that just confirmed my decision.

13:43Wendy, who's got your vote?

13:45I'm going to vote for Dennis.

13:47I also felt it was a bit of a lukewarm reaction when he got the amount he was going to win and also I think he's bluffing he went in with a high amount when I felt like Jonathan the heat was on.

13:57Well, that is four votes for you, Dennis.

14:01It's very early days, but luckily you can come back tomorrow.

14:05But for now, you have been cast out of the inner circle.

14:12There was a lot of finger pointing there and Dennis has fallen foul of the first casting out.

14:19I wonder if your instincts were right or I wonder if Dennis has got the big money and taken it with him.

14:25Only you at home know the truth.

14:27With one person down, it's time for round two.

14:30This time, as well as immunity, the power on offer is peak.

14:34This could really switch things up because you will be able to have a sneaky peak at someone else's secret stash.

14:41And given that your ultimate goal is to get as much money as possible into that final, this could give you a very big advantage.

14:48It's time for round two, sweet spot.

14:51Each player is going to face two clues that have the same answer.

14:56You just have to give me that answer.

14:58For example, if we have animal noise, an outer covering of a tree, the sweet spot would be bark.

15:06Everyone is going to face one question.

15:08If you get it right, you get one point.

15:10If you get it wrong, everybody else has just one chance to steal.

15:14Let's play.

15:15OK, Sarah.

15:16Here's your first set of clues.

15:17Dirty or untidy state.

15:18An area where military personnel eat and socialise.

15:19What's the sweet spot?

15:20Mess.

15:21Let's have a look.

15:22Well done.

15:23One point to you.

15:24Next set of clues for you, Siraj.

15:25Part of an ear of corn.

15:26Name for a male swan.

15:27Cop.

15:28Let's have a look.

15:29You've also got a point.

15:30Well done, you.

15:31Holly.

15:32Here come your clues.

15:33Long, narrow, flat-bottomed boats.

15:34What's the sweet spot?

15:35An area where military personnel eat and socialise.

15:37What's the sweet spot?

15:38Mess.

15:39Let's have a look.

15:40Well done.

15:41One point to you.

15:42Next set of clues for you, Siraj.

15:43Part of an ear of corn.

15:44Name for a male swan.

15:46Cop.

15:47Let's have a look.

15:48You've also got a point.

15:49Well done, you.

15:50Holly.

15:51Here come your clues.

15:52Long, narrow, flat-bottomed boat.

15:55A kick that often happens in the fourth down in American football.

16:00Sweep.

16:02Let's have a look.

16:04It's not.

16:05It's open to the floor.

16:07Yes, Sarah.

16:09Canoe?

16:10Let's find out.

16:11That is incorrect.

16:13It was punt.

16:17Next set of clues for you, Jonathan.

16:19A condiment and Beatles sergeant.

16:25Pepper.

16:26Let's have a look.

16:29Well done.

16:30Wendy.

16:31Next set of clues.

16:32Type of puzzling question and the surname of a pseudonym used by Lord Voldemort.

16:39Quiz.

16:40Let's have a look.

16:42Anyone want to steal?

16:44Yes, Sarah.

16:45Riddle.

16:46Let's have a look.

16:48Well done.

16:49You nicked that point.

16:51And that is the end of the round.

16:56Inner circle, please reveal the player with the most points.

17:01Sarah, you won that round.

17:02Well done.

17:03And as the winner, you have secured your place in the next round and you've won the second power,

17:08which is a lovely one.

17:10It's a sneaky peek at someone else's secret stash.

17:14That power could potentially change everything.

17:17Have you had a thought about whose stash you'd like to have a little peek at?

17:22Yes, I have had a thought.

17:23Yeah.

17:24I'm going to choose someone that there was a little bit of suspicion on in the last round and that person is Jonathan.

17:31Okay.

17:32Jonathan, there was suspicion over you.

17:34Inner circle.

17:35Please let Sarah have a peek at Jonathan's secret stash.

17:38I wish.

17:39Okay.

17:40Well, Sarah's not giving anything away there.

17:45And now we're heading for another casting out.

17:48It's time for the second vote.

17:54Who do you think should stay?

17:55Who needs to go?

17:57One wrong move could cost them the game.

18:00Another player and their secret stash is about to leave.

18:03Plus, I wonder if Sarah will let us know what she just saw.

18:08Over to you.

18:09The floor is open.

18:11Okay.

18:12Jonathan, would you like me to reveal what I've just seen on this screen?

18:16Thighs and pines.

18:19Okay.

18:20Well, let's just say I know who I can trust and who I can't now.

18:25Okie dokie.

18:27That was going to be my one question.

18:28I think you said you had a thousand.

18:30Yeah.

18:31Is it true or isn't it?

18:32I'm going to keep that information at the moment between myself and Jonathan.

18:35Thanks.

18:36Okay.

18:37All I'm going to say on this is you're a prerogative Sarah.

18:39I completely get why you're going to do that.

18:41We went round the houses last round and I was the only person who was open

18:45and said the actual amount I wasn't trying to hide behind.

18:48Oh no, or anything.

18:50I think Sarah would be quite willing to, you know, put the knife in my back

18:54if I'd been lying here.

18:55So, you know, I've said my piece.

18:58It's a thousand pounds for me.

18:59If you're going to vote me off for that, fair enough.

19:01You know, do you believe me when I say a thousand pounds?

19:04It's debatable because Sarah didn't seem...

19:06I know Sarah might be playing a game as well.

19:08So, I'm not sure if Sarah's keeping it close to her chest and you are

19:11telling the truth, if I'm honest.

19:13But it would be interesting to see how things play out.

19:15Do you believe me, Holly?

19:17Well, it's an individual game, not a team game at the end of the day.

19:20So, I think Sarah keeping that card close to her chest was a very smart move.

19:25And it's, yeah, it's very up for debate at the moment.

19:29So, I'm still thinking about things.

19:32Okay.

19:33I liked the last round.

19:36I don't know why, but I was convinced that you did have a thousand.

19:40And I feel more convinced that you do now after what Sarah said.

19:45It was more like you were telling the truth rather than you were lying.

19:49And I think in that round, Holly got a question wrong.

19:54The rest of us didn't.

19:55Well, Wendy also answered incorrectly.

19:57I just felt the question that I was given.

20:00I, in my head, answered your question correctly.

20:02Your one was tough.

20:03It was quite a tough question.

20:04It was.

20:05I'm Diss-O, obviously.

20:07I could all do it.

20:08All the others.

20:09It's Sodor, isn't it?

20:10Unfortunately, I didn't get my own.

20:12Who are we trusting here?

20:14I wonder.

20:15Anyway, it's time to lock in your decisions.

20:27The votes are in.

20:37Sarah, tell me, who are you casting out?

20:40I am voting out Holly this round.

20:42It's just a bit of an unknown entity to me.

20:45I've got my suspicions around Wendy.

20:48Obviously, I know Siraj has got a thousand.

20:51I know what Jonathan's got and I can use that information later on in the game.

20:55Siraj, who are you casting out?

20:57I voted for Wendy.

20:59I think it was between Holly and Wendy, but I think Holly had a tougher question.

21:05And no one else got a question wrong.

21:07Holly, who's got your vote?

21:09I voted for Jonathan.

21:11Just because there was a bit of suspicion back and forth between Sarah and Jonathan about the amount.

21:18That was my only reasoning why at the moment.

21:21Jonathan, who are you casting out?

21:23I vote for Holly.

21:24I vote for Holly.

21:25Partly because of the question wrong and partly when I asked did you believe me or not,

21:29I was less happy with your answer than Wendy's answer.

21:32Wendy, who's got your vote?

21:34I voted for Holly.

21:35I just think she's keeping her cards very close to her chest.

21:38She's given no indication of what amount she's got.

21:41And I think if she had a high amount, she could have really gone for it then,

21:45because we were doubting because she had not answered the question properly.

21:48Well, that is three votes for you.

21:51Holly, did you see it coming?

21:53Um, sort of.

21:54I knew getting that answer wrong was going to put me in a bad position.

21:58It was just, I felt quite a hard question compared to the others.

22:01But such is the game.

22:02Such is the game.

22:03But we'll have another go tomorrow.

22:04Thank you so much for playing.

22:06But for now you have been cast out of the inner circle.

22:12Holly has gone.

22:13Have they just said goodbye to somebody who would have split the stash?

22:17There's now just two more chances to win immunity

22:20and a power that could help you get through to that final.

22:24And this time the power is swap.

22:27So if you win this round, you can swap stashes with any player.

22:32So if you don't have much money in your secret stash, this could set you up very nicely.

22:37It's time to play round three.

22:39Vicious circle.

22:41This is about being super quick, taking control and firing those killer shots.

22:46If you get any two questions correct, you will get into that vicious circle.

22:50Once you're in, every correct answer after that will give you the power to get rid of another player.

22:56But if you get one wrong, you are frozen out of the next question.

23:01Need to answer smart, play sneaky and take down your competition.

23:05Last player standing wins, so get ready to fight for survival.

23:09Let's play.

23:13Here is your first question.

23:15The performing partner of magician Penn Jillette is known by what single name?

23:20Yes, Siraj.

23:21Tell her.

23:22You're on your way. Well done.

23:24Sandra Bullock was nominated for an Oscar for which 2013? Yes, Siraj.

23:29The Blind Side.

23:31I'm afraid that's wrong. You're frozen out.

23:33Sandra Bullock was nominated for an Oscar for which?

23:352013 sci-fi film in which she plays a stranded astronaut.

23:40And that, of course, was gravity.

23:42Next question.

23:43Which informal Australian term of address is also a type of machine used for excavation?

23:49Yes, Jonathan.

23:51Digger.

23:52Well done.

23:53You're a step closer.

23:55Gauntlet, collision and the edge are events in which...

23:58Yes, Jonathan.

23:59Thadiers.

24:00Well done.

24:01You're in the vicious circle, which means if you get the next one right, you can take anybody you like out.

24:06Of the five boroughs of New York City, which has the most letters in its name?

24:12Yes, Jonathan.

24:13Manhattan.

24:14I'm afraid not.

24:16You are frozen out.

24:17The correct answer is Staten Island.

24:20Running from your sternum to your shoulder blade, how is the clavicle more commonly known?

24:25Yes, Sarah.

24:26Collarbone.

24:27You're on your way, Sarah.

24:28The 2009 historical novel Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel is set during the reign of which Tudor monarch?

24:37Yes, Siraj.

24:38Henry VIII.

24:39Let's have a look.

24:40Yes, you're in the vicious circle, which means if you get your next question right, you can take out any player.

24:46Which chemical element shares its name with the Lone Ranger's horse?

24:51Yes, Jonathan.

24:52Tontonium?

24:53No.

24:54You're frozen out of the next round.

24:56I love that.

24:58It was silver.

24:59It was silver, wasn't it?

25:00It was silver.

25:01I think it should be that, though.

25:04Next question.

25:05Which singer won a Grammy for Album of the Year in 2025 for her country album, Cowboy Carter?

25:12Yes, Siraj.

25:13Beyonce.

25:14That is correct.

25:15Who would you like to take out of play?

25:18Jonathan, please.

25:19Okay, Jonathan, I'm afraid you are out.

25:22Next question.

25:24In 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay were the first people to reach the summit of which mountain?

25:31Yes, Siraj.

25:32Mount Everest.

25:33Yes, you are correct.

25:35Who would you like to get rid of?

25:37Sarah, please.

25:39Sarah, goodbye to you.

25:41Okay.

25:42In order to stand to be a UK Member of Parliament, a person must be at least how many years old?

25:49Yes, Wendy.

25:5018.

25:51You're on your way, Wendy.

25:52Well done.

25:53Which ballet step where a dancer rapidly strikes the floor with one foot is also the name of an ice drink usually made with coffee?

26:03I think that's timed out. I did not know this myself.

26:06It's a frappe.

26:07Next question.

26:08In Albert Einstein's equation, E equals MC squared. Yes, Siraj.

26:14Two.

26:15I'm afraid not. You're frozen out.

26:17The finished question would have been E equals MC squared. What does the letter M stand for?

26:23The correct answer is mass.

26:26Wendy.

26:27This question's for you.

26:28The name of which 18th century military leader follows half and full in the names of two wrestling moves?

26:35Yes, Wendy.

26:36Napoleon.

26:37I'm afraid not.

26:38The correct answer was Nelson.

26:40You're frozen out of this question.

26:42Siraj, this question's for you.

26:43Model and actress Kaia Gerber is the daughter of which supermodel?

26:48Yes, Siraj.

26:49Cindy Crawford.

26:51Is correct.

26:52There's only one person you can take out.

26:54Sorry, Wendy.

26:55Sorry, Wendy.

26:56That's it.

26:57You're out.

26:58Which means, Siraj, you're the winner of that game.

27:02Well done, Siraj.

27:03You smashed that.

27:05It's the first time I've seen you really smile.

27:08Are you relieved?

27:09Yeah.

27:10Kind of, yeah.

27:11I like the battle rounds.

27:12I think I'm better at them.

27:13Okay.

27:14Fantastic.

27:15Well, you've won immunity and that crucial power.

27:17You can now make a swap.

27:19Or you can keep what you've got.

27:21What are you going to do?

27:22Oh, that's a difficult one.

27:24Because I've already got 1,000 and I don't know what anyone else has got.

27:30I'm going to play it safe and stick.

27:34You're going to play it safe and keep what you've got?

27:36Yes.

27:37Okay.

27:38I wonder if not swapping means that he's potentially got more than 1,000 pounds or whether he's playing it for real.

27:46We won't know.

27:48Here are the headlines.

27:50Siraj added 1,000 pounds to his stash in round one.

27:53Sarah then had a sneaky peek at Jonathan's stash and is keeping all that information to herself.

28:00And Siraj has decided to keep his stash and not swap.

28:04Everyone's playing their curls very close to their chest in this game.

28:07But it's all still to play for in the next round.

28:10I wonder who's going to survive.

28:13We're about to find out.

28:15It's time to make another big decision.

28:18No more messing about.

28:22Only two of you can get through to the final.

28:25It's time to get your story straight.

28:27Over to you.

28:28The floor is open.

28:30I'll say my piece.

28:32Break it down into the areas.

28:33General knowledge.

28:34I think I showed I can do a good job there.

28:36I think that was pretty good, apart with obviously the one small exception.

28:40Money.

28:41I said I've had the 1,000 from the start.

28:43Sarah, you know I've got the 1,000.

28:45No one else has piped up to prove me wrong.

28:47Because it would have been quite easy for someone to say if they had it.

28:49Look, he's not.

28:50So you can be confident that I've got that 1,000 pounds.

28:52Same as Siraj.

28:53And by the way, I'm thinking at the moment is I know,

28:55if we go all the way, we're going to have to go through that cash builder round.

28:58I think Wendy, you know, I think from a general knowledge perspective,

29:02I think that's the sort of thing.

29:03And, you know, Sarah, you also didn't get as many questions right.

29:06But I know you know what I've got.

29:08So you know that you can trust me.

29:09You know I'm not lying.

29:10So that's something you're at the moment, Wendy.

29:12So that's my sort of going in position.

29:14Well, I know certainly maybe general knowledge wasn't spot on.

29:19But I know what I've got.

29:20I've said from the beginning I've got a higher amount, which I have.

29:23So, yeah, general knowledge, I have got quite a few questions right.

29:27Maybe not so many as other people.

29:29But you definitely want my money when you go into that final.

29:32Because it's a big pot of money to share with.

29:35I'm still unsure as to what Wendy has got.

29:39I do know what Jonathan has.

29:42Whether he's lying to the rest of you or not.

29:45Again, I'll keep that between us.

29:47Because I think that could be a nice little alliance that he trusts me to not let on.

29:53That was intriguing.

29:54I'm, like, thinking now that Jonathan could have more than 1,000.

30:00I think he's got 1,000 as a minimum.

30:03He could have more.

30:04I don't know none the ways or two actually who has got the 4,000.

30:10But I don't think Wendy has got the 4,000.

30:14OK.

30:15Please, will you lock in your decisions?

30:33Sarah, who are you casting out?

30:35I'm casting out Jonathan.

30:37I know how much money he's got in his pot.

30:40I know that he has got 1,000 pounds, as I'm saying all along.

30:43Which makes me think, and I'm going to be honest here,

30:46I don't have the 4,000 pounds.

30:48Makes me think that it could lie with one of you two.

30:50I know it's not with Jonathan.

30:51Siraj, who are you casting out?

30:53I voted for Wendy.

30:55I don't think she's got the 4,000.

30:57And I believe Jonathan has got the 1,000.

30:59Jonathan, who's got your vote?

31:01I voted for Wendy.

31:02Partly in the general knowledge thing

31:04and partly because I thought she was most likely to get all her votes.

31:07Wendy, who are you casting out?

31:09I voted out Jonathan.

31:11I thought your general knowledge is good.

31:13I just felt your amount wasn't as much.

31:16OK, so Jonathan and Wendy, you're tied on two votes each,

31:20which means Siraj, it is up to you to decide between those two.

31:25What are you going to do?

31:27Well, I haven't got the 4,000.

31:30Um, Sarah said she hasn't got the 4,000.

31:33And Jonathan said he's got the 1,000.

31:36So that makes me think that either we voted out someone

31:39who already had the 4,000 or Wendy's got the 4,000.

31:42Now, do I take the risk?

31:44Yeah, I do.

31:45I'm going to vote out Jonathan.

31:48Jonathan, thank you so much for playing.

31:50You've got another chance tomorrow, but for now,

31:52you have been cast out of the inner circle.

31:58We have our final three players.

32:00Congratulations, all of you on making it this far.

32:03However, only two of them can make it through to the final

32:06and begin with a chance of walking away with their combined stash.

32:10I am absolutely clueless as to how much money is left in the game

32:14and who's got it.

32:15The winner of this last round wins that final power

32:19and will control who joins them in the final.

32:23Time for the last round.

32:25Circle of clues.

32:26For each question, I'll read out a series of three clues.

32:30The quicker you buzz in with the correct link,

32:32the more points you will win.

32:34So, as soon as you think you know, just buzz in.

32:36But remember, if you get it wrong,

32:38you'll be frozen out for the rest of that question.

32:41It's time to get your brains into gear.

32:43Let's play.

32:47Question one.

32:48Can you name the radio station linked by these three clues?

32:52And your first clue is...

32:53Launched the day the BBC Light programme closed.

33:01OK.

33:02Next clue for two points.

33:03For many years, Terry Wogan hosted

33:05The Breakfast Show on this station.

33:08Yes, Wendy.

33:10Radio one.

33:12I'm afraid that is incorrect.

33:14You're frozen out.

33:16Restart the clock.

33:18Yes, Siraj.

33:19Radio two.

33:21Is correct.

33:22Two points for you.

33:24I miss Terry Wogan.

33:26Question number two.

33:27Can you name the city linked by these three clues?

33:30It means black pool in the country's native language.

33:38OK, for two points.

33:39It is home to the parliament called the Dáil.

33:49For one point.

33:50The world-famous Guinness brewery stands on the banks of the River Liffey.

33:53Yes, Siraj.

33:55Dublin.

33:56It is.

33:57Fantastic.

33:58One point for you.

33:59OK, question three.

34:00Can you name the historical person linked by these three clues?

34:03Your first clue is...

34:04He first appeared on the Bank of England's £50 notes in 2021.

34:13For two points.

34:14He was a leading figure in cracking the Enigma code during World War II.

34:19Yes, Sarah.

34:21Alan Turing.

34:23Yes.

34:24You looked so worried when you were answering that.

34:26I completely thought it was wrong.

34:27Have confidence, Sarah.

34:29Well done. That's two points.

34:30Last question.

34:32Can you name the video game character linked by these three clues?

34:37Your first is...

34:38This Sega character has competed with Mario at the Olympics in a series of video games.

34:43Yes, Siraj.

34:44Sonic the Hedgehog.

34:45Three points to you.

34:47And that is the end of the round.

34:53Inner Circle, please reveal the player with the most points.

34:59Siraj.

35:00You're the winner.

35:01Congratulations.

35:02Feeling good?

35:03Yes.

35:04OK, great.

35:05Well, you have now won the power to control the vote.

35:11Remember, you need someone you can trust.

35:13But you also need somebody that can help you increase that stash in the cash builder at the end.

35:19Yeah.

35:20So, Sarah and Wendy, it's time to convince Siraj why you should be taken through to the final.

35:26Let's start with you, Wendy.

35:28I've said from the beginning I've got a high amount of cash that you would definitely want to be playing with me in the final.

35:33OK?

35:34General knowledge has not been maybe as good as other players, but you definitely want my cash in that final.

35:39OK, thank you, Sarah.

35:41I let on in the last round when I was voting off Jonathan that I do not have a high amount.

35:46I do, however, think that I've got better general knowledge than Wendy and can help build the pot up higher.

35:52But it's your decision.

35:55Siraj, who would you like to take through to the final?

35:58I'm going to take a bit of a risk and take Wendy through to the final.

36:03Well, Sarah, you've done ever so well. You've got very, very close.

36:06I feel like you know what you're doing now in this inner circle.

36:09I'm looking forward to coming back tomorrow and trying again with a little bit more of an insight.

36:13Absolutely. So we look forward to seeing you, but for now you have been cast out of the inner circle.

36:24Our final two. It's time for the cash builder.

36:28This is the last chance for Siraj and Wendy to work together to add some money to their combined secret stash.

36:34Remember, I'm still not absolutely certain what money is left in the game.

36:40But here's a quick reminder of your money amounts for everyone at home.

36:44You're now playing together to add to your combined stash.

36:48I'm going to give you £100 for each correct answer and you've got 60 seconds to get through as many as you can.

36:54But my advice would be to say pass if you don't know because I cannot move on to the other person until I get a right answer.

37:01Let's play.

37:06Good luck.

37:07Siraj.

37:08Breeds of which big cat include Bengal and Siberia?

37:10Tiger.

37:11Correct.

37:12Since signing in 2014, footballer Millie Bright has played for which women's Super League club?

37:18Arsenal.

37:19Incorrect.

37:21Pass.

37:22Chelsea.

37:23Which object of the solar system is pictured at the centre of the flag of Argentina?

37:29Pass.

37:30The sun.

37:31Which vegetable is cooked and crushed to make the dish baba ganoush?

37:36Courgette.

37:37No.

37:38Pass.

37:39Aubergine.

37:40Which Belgian comic book character is an investigative reporter usually accompanied by his faithful dog Snowy?

37:47Pass.

37:48Tintin.

37:49During the Wars of the Roses, Henry Tudor defeated King Richard III at the Battle of what?

37:57Sorry, pass.

37:58Bosworth Field.

37:59Thursday is named after which Norse god played in multiple films by Chris Hemsworth?

38:04Oh dear.

38:05Thursday.

38:06Thursday.

38:07Thursday.

38:08Pass.

38:09Pass.

38:10Ooh.

38:11It was Thor.

38:12You answered one question correctly meaning you've added £100 onto your combined cash dash.

38:23Suraj and Wendy had the chance to work together but now the inner circle has one final test for them both.

38:30It's time to play Split or Shaft.

38:33So everything has led to this moment.

38:38Remember that you are playing for your combined cash total.

38:42I'm still not sure what you've both got hidden away.

38:44Only the viewers at home know what you are truly worth.

38:48We now have three possible outcomes.

38:51You can win together and half the cash but that's only if you both decide to split.

38:56You can lose together and go home with nothing if you both choose to Shaft or if we see a split and a Shaft, the Shafter wins it all.

39:05Suraj and Wendy, it's now time for you both to have a little chat to see how you want to play this.

39:10I didn't have a big amount and you know I had a thousand so I don't know what you've got.

39:16It's not a massive amount and I'm going to split because it's not really a big amount.

39:21It's not going to change anyone's life.

39:22It's better to go home with some money.

39:24So you're saying you're not going to split?

39:26No, I said I'm going to split.

39:27You're going to get absolutely up to me.

39:29I've come, you know, I'd prefer to go away with something than nothing.

39:32Exactly.

39:33Yeah.

39:34And obviously I want to take my children on a holiday and that's going to go towards it.

39:39It's time to lock in your decisions.

39:46Both happy locked in?

39:57Yes.

39:58Okay.

39:59Suraj, can you please tell me now how much was in your secret stash at the very start of the game?

40:05A massive amount of zero.

40:07Oh, well played.

40:10Oh my gosh.

40:11Okay.

40:12Then, of course, you won the thousand.

40:14Yeah.

40:15Okay.

40:16Well, well done there.

40:17Wendy, what did you start with?

40:19£100.

40:20Oh!

40:21You've both played a blinder.

40:24Okay.

40:25So, Suraj, you thought Wendy had the big one?

40:29I didn't know who had the big one and I knew it wasn't Jonathan and I knew it wasn't Sarah.

40:34So, I just took the risk because I thought if they ain't got it, they ain't got it.

40:39So, Wendy may have it.

40:41I've just been told that Dennis, you chucked him out in the first round.

40:46He had the £4,000.

40:47I did it both for him because I did think he had it.

40:50Oh, wow.

40:51Added to the £100 that you bought through from the cash builder, that means that you're playing for a combined total of £1,200.

40:59What treats are you going to spend your half of the money on, should you both split?

41:04Probably go to somewhere nice to eat, somewhere local.

41:10Yeah.

41:11Treat the kids.

41:12Have a nice dinner out.

41:13Yeah.

41:14How about you, Wendy?

41:15Yeah, I've got a son and a daughter, so I'd love to take them away somewhere nice if I did win some money.

41:19Okay.

41:20What are their names?

41:21Jade and Jensen.

41:22And how old are they?

41:23Jade is 24 and Jensen's 19.

41:25Ah, I've got a 19 hold as well.

41:27Yeah.

41:28He's lovely.

41:29It's time to reveal if you've decided to split or shaft in a circle.

42:20Oh, okay.
