00:00MUSIC
00:22Thank you. Thank you so much.
00:25Thank you so much.
00:27Hello and welcome to Millionaire Hot Seat.
00:31It's like pure concentrated who wants to be a millionaire juice.
00:36No lifelines, no hesitating,
00:38and five people waiting to jump into the chair
00:41when someone makes a mess of things.
00:44Let's meet tonight's players.
00:46They are...
00:48Samantha Murray-Smith from Freshwater.
00:51Genevieve Julesmith from Nestor.
00:54Claire Farley from Windsor.
00:57Simon Williams from Notting Hill.
01:00Billy Marsden from Greenwich.
01:03And Kevin Sheehan from Derry.
01:06Good.
01:07Now, before the show, there was a random draw
01:10to decide who goes in the hot seat first,
01:13and the winner of that was...
01:15Samantha Murray-Smith.
01:16So, Samantha...
01:18APPLAUSE
01:19Help yourself to the chair.
01:21APPLAUSE
01:24Welcome.
01:26Welcome. You're Samantha Murray-Smith,
01:27a support worker...
01:28Yes.
01:29..from Freshwater, wherever that is.
01:30Where is it?
01:31The Isle of Wight.
01:32Isle of Wight? Oh, excellent.
01:33Yeah.
01:34Well, welcome, first of all.
01:3515 questions to a million pounds,
01:37same as it was in the old show, yeah?
01:39But, a couple of changes.
01:41If you don't know the answer to a question,
01:44you can pass.
01:45OK.
01:46If you do that, you go and sit over there,
01:48and then the next contestant takes your place.
01:51And that's the last time you can pass.
01:53You've only got one pass.
01:54Use it once, it's over. OK?
01:56Got it.
01:57If you answer and you get it wrong,
02:00two things happen.
02:01Number one, the top rung of the ladder disappears.
02:04The prize money shrinks.
02:07And the second thing that happens is,
02:09you go home.
02:11So, don't get anything wrong.
02:12I'll try.
02:13OK?
02:14Let's get cracking, shall we?
02:15Let's play Millionaire Hot Seat.
02:18APPLAUSE
02:22OK.
02:24You've got 15 seconds to answer this question,
02:27which is worth £100.
02:29OK.
02:30Here we go.
02:32Which of these terms represents the highest number
02:35on the Beaufort Wind Force Scale?
02:39Gale, hurricane, storm or strong breeze?
02:45Well, out of the four of those,
02:48the strongest is hurricane.
02:50Final answer.
02:52And the correct answer.
02:53So, that's £100.
02:55APPLAUSE
02:57OK.
02:58For £200, this is your question.
03:01In Cockney rhyming slang, which of these body parts would typically be closest to the ground when standing on a flat surface?
03:12Mince pies?
03:14Plates of meat?
03:16Boat race?
03:17Or loaf of bread?
03:18Or loaf of bread?
03:19Well, mince pies are eyes.
03:22Boat race is face.
03:23Loaf of bread is your head.
03:25Plates of meat are your feet.
03:27So, it's plates of meat.
03:28Final answer.
03:30Absolutely right.
03:31Perfectly worked out.
03:32£200.
03:36Right, this is for £300.
03:39What's the profession of Mark Kerr, as portrayed by Dwayne Johnson in the 2025 film The Smashing Machine?
03:50A rock star?
03:52Demolition expert?
03:54MMA fighter?
03:56Or miner?
03:58I'll be honest, I don't know this.
04:00I'm going to pass.
04:03Don't blame you.
04:04Perfectly sensible thing to do.
04:05So, if you'd like to go and sit over there on the chair of hope, that you'll be back.
04:10We'll bring out the next contestant.
04:16Welcome.
04:17Genevieve Jules-Smith.
04:18Hi.
04:19Paediatric nurse from Neston.
04:21Yep.
04:22I don't know where that is either, is it?
04:23That's in Cheshire, just outside of Chester.
04:25Chester, OK.
04:26Well, we haven't come far.
04:27It's one good thing.
04:28If it goes wrong.
04:30Um, because I'm sure it won't.
04:32Right, now, here's the rule, I'm afraid.
04:34It's not good.
04:36Because Samantha passed, it means you can't.
04:40You have to answer this question whether you like it or not.
04:44So, here it is.
04:45What's the profession of Mark Kerr, as portrayed by Dwayne Johnson in the 2025 film The Smashing Machine?
04:53It's a choice of two, but given that Dwayne Johnson's famous for, like, being fit and a good physique and everything, I'm going to choose MMA fighter.
05:04Final answer.
05:06You're a big MMA fighter fan?
05:08Um, ish.
05:09I'm guessing.
05:10Oh, ish.
05:11I was going to...
05:12Yeah.
05:13I was expecting, no.
05:14Doesn't matter though, you're right.
05:15Correct answer.
05:16Well done.
05:17And what that means is, your pass is now available.
05:22You can now pass if you want to.
05:25So, here you go.
05:26£500 question.
05:28Which of these is a type of piercing made on the nose?
05:33Helix, bridge, conch, or upper lobe?
05:38Okie doke.
05:39I know the helix and the conch are both on the ears, and the lobe is your ear as well.
05:44But you have a bridge on your nose.
05:46I'm going to say bridge.
05:47Final answer.
05:48You are a nurse.
05:49Yeah.
05:50Which does help.
05:51And it's really helped, because that's the correct answer.
05:54Well done.
05:55Well done.
05:56Again, your pass is still available, and this is the question for £1,000.
06:03Which of these is not an ingredient in a traditional Caesar salad?
06:09Anchovies, croutons, garlic, or feta cheese?
06:16Hmm.
06:17To be honest, I could hazard a guess, but I don't want to at this stage.
06:21So, I'm going to use my pass, please.
06:24Absolutely fair enough.
06:26There you go.
06:28Off to the end of the queue, and let's bring out the next contestant, please.
06:35Hello, hello.
06:36Hello.
06:37Hello, Claire Farley.
06:38Yes.
06:39Client engagement executive from Windsor.
06:42Welcome to the hot seat.
06:45Now, you know the rules.
06:46You can't pass on this question.
06:48You have to answer it, OK?
06:50Which of these is not an ingredient in a traditional Caesar salad?
06:55This is the worst question for me, because I'm the most unhealthy person ever.
07:01So, I've never eaten a Caesar salad.
07:03Eight seconds.
07:04Five seconds.
07:05I'm going to guess at...
07:07Two seconds.
07:08Anchovies.
07:09Final answer.
07:10A lot of chit-chat, followed by, I'm afraid, the wrong answer.
07:15I'm really sorry.
07:17The correct answer is, in fact, feta cheese.
07:20I'm afraid, though, we do now have to say goodbye to you.
07:23So, ladies and gentlemen, Claire Farley.
07:26I think we'll bring out our next contestant, please.
07:30What a brutal game.
07:32This is so brutal.
07:34Simon Williams, firefighter.
07:36That's right.
07:37In Notting Hill, in London.
07:38That's right, yep.
07:39I'd better be nice to you.
07:40I've got a flat in Notting Hill.
07:42And a daughter in Notting Hill.
07:44Oh.
07:45So, right.
07:46The top rung of the ladder has now gone.
07:49Because that was a wrong answer.
07:51This is 250,000, all right?
07:53OK.
07:54Still a lot of money.
07:55And you're only ten questions away from it.
07:57Right.
07:58This is the question for £1,000.
08:01Which of these years was a leap year?
08:052022, 2023, 2024 or 2025?
08:14Wow.
08:15I know which two it isn't.
08:17Ten seconds.
08:19I'm going to have to use my pass for the answer.
08:23Okey-doke.
08:24OK.
08:25Well, to the back of the queue with you.
08:27We barely saw you.
08:28A blink of an...
08:29You'd have missed you.
08:30And let's bring out the next contestant, please.
08:35Right.
08:36Billy Marsden.
08:38Actor.
08:39That's me.
08:40From Greenwich in London.
08:41What have we seen you in?
08:42I've just been a pig in Three Little Pigs.
08:45Oh, I missed that.
08:46Yeah.
08:47Sounds like you were one of the three leads, though.
08:49Yeah.
08:50It was a great part.
08:51I was like a gym pig.
08:52Sounds like a stupid gym pig.
08:55All right.
08:56Can gym pig work this one out?
08:59You can't pass, I'm afraid.
09:01Yeah.
09:02This is the question.
09:03Which of these years was a leap year?
09:08My first guess would be 2022 because...
09:11Purely because I think I've seen it in another quiz.
09:14You've got five seconds.
09:16So I'm going to lock in 2022.
09:20I don't know what quiz you saw it in, but it was incorrect.
09:23That's the wrong answer, I'm afraid.
09:25So I'm really sorry, gym pig.
09:27It's every four years.
09:28A helpful way to remember the Summer Olympics are always in leap years.
09:32Oh, right.
09:33You can bear that in mind on your way home.
09:35Ladies and gentlemen, Billy Marsden.
09:37So you're Kevin Sheehan, project manager from Derry.
09:47Yep.
09:48I do know where Derry is, so that's good.
09:50Right, now I'm afraid to say that the top prize is £100,000 now.
09:54OK.
09:55We've had two wrong answers.
09:56Still six figures, though.
09:58That's still a chunk of change.
10:00Let's have a look at the question, shall we?
10:03In the sitcom Gavin and Stacey, what are the names of Gavin's parents?
10:11Ross and Rachel?
10:13Pam and Mick?
10:15Hyacinth and Richard?
10:17Or Basil and Sybil?
10:19I haven't watched this show, unfortunately.
10:22But I think it's Pam and Mick, the final answer.
10:31Just a guess?
10:32Just a guess.
10:33It worked!
10:34It's the right answer.
10:35Well done.
10:36Oh, Mick.
10:37Well worked out.
10:39Well, well guessed.
10:40And that means you're facing a £2,000 question.
10:45And you now have 30 seconds to answer the question.
10:48OK.
10:49Because it's harder.
10:50Right, let's have a look at the question.
10:53Who wrote the best-selling cookbook, How to Be a Domestic Goddess?
10:59Mary Berry, Nigella Lawson, Delia Smith or Nadia Hussain?
11:05I'm not sure on this one.
11:06I have thoughts, but I'm going to use my pass.
11:17Well done.
11:18OK, off you go.
11:19OK, off you go.
11:20And let's bring up the next contestant.
11:22Or I should say bring back Samantha Murray-Smith.
11:26Right, 30 seconds to answer the following question.
11:29Samantha, who wrote the best-selling cookbook, How to Be a Domestic Goddess?
11:34I actually have this book at home.
11:37It's Nigella Lawson, final answer.
11:39And the correct answer.
11:40Well done, Steve.
11:41Is that your idea?
11:42It was.
11:43Oh, I bet you're kicking yourself now.
11:46Now, it's always a tricky one to know what to do there.
11:48Do you try and help the next person along or do you keep shtum?
11:51Hard to know.
11:53Anyway, that worked out because you have the book.
11:56Right, now, remember you can't pass anymore because you've used your pass.
12:00This is the £3,000 question.
12:0330 seconds to answer it.
12:04Let's have a look at it.
12:06How many of the 50 US states have a four-letter name?
12:11Two, three, four or five?
12:17OK, there's Iowa, Ohio, Utah.
12:22Can't think of any more, so that's three.
12:29Three, final answer.
12:33You had 15 seconds to think more on that.
12:38I know, but I thought I'd second-guess myself and talk myself out of it.
12:42And you were wise because that is the correct answer.
12:45Well done.
12:46Beautifully done.
12:48But now, I'm afraid, it's time to take a break.
12:52We'll be back in a few moments.
12:54See you then.
12:55APPLAUSE
12:56Welcome back to Millionaire Hot Seats.
13:10I'm joined in the hot seat by Samantha, who's on.
13:14£3,000.
13:16This next question is worth £5,000, remember?
13:1930 seconds to answer it.
13:21And you can't pass.
13:23Here's the question.
13:24Which of these companies does not use a crown in its logo?
13:31Hallmark, Rolex, Dulux or Pandora?
13:38OK.
13:40Rolex and Dulux definitely do.
13:43Pandora or Hallmark?
13:47Think.
13:4815 seconds.
13:49Don't think Pandora does.
14:02Five seconds.
14:03Pandora, final answer.
14:06Oh, I'm sorry, that's the wrong answer.
14:10That's the wrong answer.
14:12The correct answer is Dulux and you were sure it wasn't.
14:15I think it's crown paint.
14:16Crown paint.
14:17Have a crown.
14:18Oh, I'm sorry about that, Samantha, but you must now go home.
14:22Ladies and gentlemen, Samantha Murray-Smith.
14:24APPLAUSE
14:25If you could bring out Genevieve, that would be lovely.
14:30Welcome back, Genevieve.
14:32Now, remember, you left the action when we were on £1,000.
14:35We're now on £3,000.
14:37Top prize, £50,000.
14:39OK.
14:40You've got 30 seconds to answer this question,
14:42which is worth £5,000.
14:44So, here we go.
14:48Which of these wine regions is in the southern hemisphere?
14:52Ambruzzo, Mendoza, Napa Valley or Jerez?
14:59Napa Valley is California, I believe, and Jerez is Spanish.
15:04I think that's the Spanish for sherry,
15:06so they'd be northern.
15:08Abruzzo sounds, maybe Italian.
15:10So, I don't actually really know, but just for a guess,
15:13I'm going to have to guess at Mendoza.
15:15Maybe it's, like, South American or something.
15:18So, I'd say...
15:20Ten seconds.
15:21Oh, gosh.
15:23Five seconds.
15:24Mendoza, final answer.
15:26Push that close to the wire.
15:30I second-guessed myself at the end, then.
15:32Shouldn't have done.
15:33That's the right answer.
15:34Well done.
15:35Mendoza is in somewhere called Argentina.
15:40OK.
15:41Not an interesting place.
15:42Abruzzo is Italy.
15:43Napa Valley, as you correctly say, is California.
15:45And her S is Spain.
15:48Good.
15:49Well, now, that's marvellous.
15:50You've got the ladder up to £5,000.
15:52Well done.
15:53This next question is worth £7,500.
15:57Which of these flags was originally designed
16:00by the American artist Gilbert Baker in 1978?
16:06The European Union flag?
16:09Olympic flag?
16:11The United Nations flag?
16:13Or the Rainbow Pride flag?
16:16Oh, gosh.
16:17I really wouldn't know, to be fair.
16:21And I don't even really have anything to go on.
16:24I mean, just looking at the dates.
16:27So, just looking at the dates,
16:30I feel like I'm going to say...
16:3115 seconds.
16:32The European Union flag, final answer.
16:38No, I'm afraid not.
16:39Aw.
16:40I'm afraid not.
16:41No, the correct answer is the Rainbow Pride flag.
16:44Aw, OK.
16:45..was 78.
16:46So, I'm sorry about that.
16:48But I'm afraid we must now say,
16:50to Genevieve Jules-Smith, goodbye.
16:52Goodbye.
16:53Thank you for coming.
16:55OK, let's bring out...
16:58..the firefighter again, Simon Williams.
17:00Welcome back.
17:02I should just explain to the ladies and gentlemen at home,
17:04the Olympic flag was first used in the 1910s,
17:07UN flag in the 1940s.
17:09The current EU flag was used by the Council of Europe
17:11from the 1950s.
17:12I didn't know that.
17:13I thought that was newer than that.
17:14Oh, well, there we are.
17:15Anyway, that's of no concern of yours, or indeed yours.
17:19Top prize now, £20,000.
17:21You've got 30 seconds to answer this question.
17:23You can't pass.
17:25Shall we have a look at it?
17:26Yes, please.
17:27£7,500 riding on it.
17:28Let's go.
17:29Which of these words means incapable of being wearied?
17:35Indutible, innominable, indefatigable, or ineluctable?
17:44OK, so I haven't got a clue.
17:50I can't even pronounce some of them.
17:53Erm...
17:55It's going to have to be a total guess.
17:56I can't even work it out.
18:02I'm going to go for indefatigable.
18:05Final answer.
18:07And the correct answer.
18:12Let's be honest.
18:14It's what firefighters have to be.
18:17Indefatigable.
18:18OK.
18:19So that you don't get tired going up all those stairs.
18:22Indutible is unable to be doubted.
18:26Innominable is unable to be named.
18:31And ineluctable is not able to be avoided.
18:35OK.
18:36You have now just won £7,500.
18:38This next question is worth £10,000.
18:41OK.
18:42Let's have a look at it.
18:45Which of these UK parliamentary constituencies
18:49has not been represented by a 21st century prime minister?
18:54Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeef?
18:58Epping Forest?
19:00Uxbridge and South Royslip?
19:03Or Hoban and St Pancras?
19:07I know...
19:09C, definitely.
19:13Because that's Boris Johnson.
19:17A...
19:19Scotland somewhere.
19:21D...
19:22OK.
19:25On the basis of working it out...
19:26Ten seconds.
19:27I'm going to go for...
19:29Epping Forest, final answer.
19:34It's not what I'd have gone for.
19:36But you were right.
19:37Well done.
19:39You were absolutely right.
19:41I actually thought it was Hoban and St Pancras.
19:44Oh, well, that's why I got it wrong.
19:46It's Keir Starlers.
19:48Um...
19:49Yeah, Uxbridge, as you quite rightly say,
19:50is Boris Johnson and Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeef is Gordon Brown.
19:54So, yeah, well done, you.
19:56That's fantastic.
19:57And now, what that means is bad news for Kevin.
20:01Because whatever happens now, I'm afraid you won't be getting back in the hot seat.
20:05Could be good news for you, then.
20:06Could be good news for you, Simon.
20:07Here's how it works.
20:08This is the final question.
20:10If you get it right, £20,000 is yours.
20:13OK.
20:14If you get it wrong, because we're generous souls, we'll give you £1,000 as a consolation prize.
20:21So it's £20,000 or £1,000 riding on this question.
20:25OK.
20:2645 seconds now to answer it.
20:28Right.
20:29You can't pass. Let's have a look.
20:30Which of these characters has not appeared in a film directed by Ridley Scott?
20:39Hannibal Lecter?
20:41Rick Deckard?
20:43Paul Atreides?
20:46Or Ellen Ripley?
20:49OK.
20:50So, Ellen Ripley was definitely Aliens, Sigourney Weaver.
20:55Hannibal Lecter.
20:57I've never heard of B or C.
21:01Erm, which of these characters has not appeared in a film.
21:06Not appeared in a film.
21:09OK.
21:10She definitely has.
21:1220 seconds.
21:13He has.
21:20It's got to be a total guess.
21:23Well, in three, by the sounds of it.
21:25Yeah.
21:26I'm going to say...
21:28Paul Atreides.
