00:00.
00:27Thank you so much. Thank you.
00:30Hello and welcome to Millionaire Hot Seat.
00:34It's like who wants to be a millionaire,
00:36but the six contestants are on their own
00:39and against the clock.
00:41Let's meet them. They are...
00:43Will Bell from Oxford.
00:46Kim Reynolds from Brighton.
00:49Luke Fletcher from Aberdeen.
00:52Jay Horton from Hawley.
00:55Daisy Kilby from Birmingham.
00:58And Veronica Wendt from Essex.
01:01Now, before the show there was a random draw
01:04to see who goes in the hot seat first
01:07and the winner of that was Will Bell.
01:10Well done, Will.
01:12APPLAUSE
01:15Didn't need your fast fingers.
01:18Just the look of the draw.
01:20Right, welcome you, Will Bell, an analyst team leader
01:24from Otford, wherever that is.
01:26In Kent.
01:27In Kent, there we are.
01:29Now then, a couple of things I ought to talk you through,
01:31rules-wise, before we begin.
01:33OK.
01:3415 questions, get them all right, you win a million pounds.
01:36Easy.
01:37That's the easy bit.
01:39There are a couple of changes, though, from the old show.
01:41First of all, if you're not sure about what the answer is,
01:45you can pass.
01:47If you do that, you go to the back of the queue,
01:50all right, next contestant takes your place,
01:52but that is your pass used up.
01:54You can't use it again.
01:56Now, if you get the answer wrong, two things happen.
02:00Number one, the top rung from the ladder goes.
02:03The prize money shrinks, OK?
02:06And the second thing that happens is, you go home.
02:09Better to pass than really than get it wrong.
02:13OK, so are you ready?
02:15Ready as I'll ever be.
02:16We'll pick all the rest of it up as we go along.
02:18Don't worry about it.
02:20OK, well, let's play Millionaire Hot Seats.
02:27So, best of luck, Will.
02:28You've got 15 seconds to answer this question, OK?
02:31For a hundred pounds.
02:33Here we go.
02:35Which of these terms is written on the top left corner key
02:40of a typical QWERTY keyboard?
02:43ALT, ENTER, CAPS, or ESC?
02:52Well, I'm pretty sure that this is ESCAPE,
02:55so I'm going to go for ESC.
02:57Final answer, please.
02:59Well done.
03:00That is the correct answer.
03:02That's a hundred pounds.
03:05Now things get trickier.
03:07This is for 200 pounds.
03:11A bee's knees cocktail typically contains which of these ingredients?
03:16Honey, chocolate, marmalade, yoghurt.
03:22Well, I don't think I've ever had one of these.
03:28But I'm hoping it's not a trick question.
03:31So I'm going to say honey, final answer.
03:35And the correct answer.
03:38Yeah.
03:39That was quite an easy one, I think.
03:41Honey.
03:42You all would have got honey?
03:43Yeah, I would have got honey.
03:45Right.
03:46This one's worth 300 pounds.
03:50Which of these was a campaign launched by the British government during World War II?
03:55Stop, Look, Listen, Think, Dig for Victory, Keep Britain Tidy, or Charlie Says?
04:05Well, I think this is all to do with shortages of food, rationing, etc.
04:10So that is dig for victory, final answer, please.
04:14And the correct answer.
04:15Well done, 300 pounds.
04:21Okay, now this is for 500 pounds.
04:25In a limerick, which of these pairs of lines would typically rhyme with each other?
04:30First and third, second and fourth, third and fifth, or first and fifth?
04:47Well, I think I do know this one, but I'm going to use my pass at this point.
04:57Is that strategic?
04:58It's a little bit of I don't want to get it wrong and look silly, and it's a little bit...
05:03Maybe...
05:04Because I'm just thinking, if you go back there now,
05:07there's a greater chance of you being back in that chair before the game ends.
05:12That's a theory.
05:13I think he does know he's strategically passing, but whatever.
05:17If you'd like to take your seat over there then, please,
05:19and we'll bring out the next contestant.
05:21APPLAUSE
05:27So, Kim Reynolds, Marketing Manager from Brighton, welcome.
05:30Thank you, Jeremy.
05:31Best of luck.
05:32Now then, here's another rule, which I didn't explain before.
05:36You now can't pass.
05:38If somebody before you's passed, you have to answer this, OK?
05:42So, let me remind you of the question.
05:44In a limerick, which of these pairs of lines would typically rhyme with each other?
05:49Right, well, I am thinking it is first and fifth,
05:53and obviously you get sort of brain freeze in these sort of situations,
05:57so I can't pass, so I think I'm going to say first and fifth, final answer.
06:05You nearly ran out of time there.
06:07But you made it with one second to go, and that is the correct answer.
06:10Well done.
06:12APPLAUSE
06:14Yeah, so the pattern is A-A-B-B-A,
06:16so the first, second and fifth lines rhyme with each other.
06:19OK-Doke, now this is for £1,000.
06:26The son of actor Denise Welsh, Matty Healey,
06:30is the front man of which band?
06:33The 1975,
06:36Franz Ferdinand,
06:38Coldplay,
06:40or The Killers?
06:42So I'm not going to waffle on now and say that it's definitely the 1975 final answer.
06:49You seem very confident.
06:50Yeah.
06:51And you are right to be confident, because that is the correct answer.
06:55That is £1,000.
06:58So, well done you.
07:00Now then, £2,000 question coming up,
07:03and you might imagine the time gets less.
07:06It doesn't, because the questions get harder.
07:08You get longer.
07:09You get 30 seconds.
07:11Right.
07:12Still not a long time, but it's longer.
07:14So this is for £2,000.
07:19Which of these pairs of letters is not used as an abbreviation for a playing position in netball?
07:26WD,
07:28CK,
07:30GS,
07:32WA.
07:34I used to be WD in my school team, wing defence.
07:38So, GS is goal shooter or goalscorer, WA is wing attack.
07:41So the answer that is not used is CK final answer.
07:48Correct answer.
07:50Well done, £2,000.
07:54Right.
07:55Now it's a £3,000 question.
07:56Again, 30 seconds to answer it.
08:00When referring to the food stuff, what is quinoa?
08:05Seed, legume, nut or fungus?
08:12I've eaten it and I'm...
08:15I think I know what the answer is, but I'm...
08:19I would have used 50-50 in the old school.
08:22So, when referring to the food stuff, what is quinoa?
08:26Seed, legume, nut, fungus.
08:30So I'm going to pass, please, Gerry.
08:35That was a surprise at the last minute, but okay, fair enough.
08:38If you'd like to take your seat over there and let's bring out the next contestant, please.
08:41APPLAUSE
08:49You've had time to think about this, of course, which helps, I'm sure.
08:52But, um, welcome anyway, Luke Fletcher, Health and Safety Inspector.
08:56Mmm, my favourite people.
08:59From Aberdeen.
09:01Despite your job, I wish you all the very best.
09:04I'll read out the question for you.
09:06When referring to the food stuff, what is quinoa?
09:09I'm really not sure, I'm thinking it's between A and B, a seed or a legume.
09:16I've eaten it, it's kind of soft, it has got like a shell around it.
09:21I think of seeds as being hard.
09:23I really don't.
09:2515 seconds.
09:26I really don't, no.
09:27And you can't pass.
09:28I'm trying to think, have I ever seen one sprout a root?
09:31Maybe it's a fungus.
09:33Five seconds.
09:34I'm going to have to go Le Green B, final answer.
09:39Only one second left.
09:42But the wrong answer, I think.
09:44Oh, and you've come all the way from Aberdeen.
09:47I'm so sorry, the correct answer is, in fact, it's a seed.
09:51So I'm sorry, we must now say goodbye and bring out the next contestant, please.
09:58See you, Luke.
10:03Right.
10:05You're Jay Horton, sales manager from Hawley.
10:08I am, yep.
10:09One bit of bad news.
10:10Well, actually, it's weird, isn't it?
10:11Because obviously, you're happy he's gone, because you're now in the chair.
10:14Yeah.
10:15But, because he's gone, we've lost the million pound prize.
10:18That is a shame.
10:19Yeah.
10:20So you're like, you're happy and sad simultaneously.
10:22We're down to £250,000 now.
10:24But it's still a chunk of change, and you're only eight questions away from it.
10:29Let's do it.
10:30I wish you all the very best.
10:31This is your question for £3,000.
10:34Which of these Arnold Schwarzenegger lines is from the 1987 film Predator?
10:42Put that cookie down.
10:44Get to the chopper.
10:46I'll be back.
10:48Or hasta la vista, baby.
10:51Well, that film was a stalwart of my childhood.
10:55I've probably watched it as many times as I've watched any film.
10:59So that's get to the chopper B, final answer.
11:04And a correct answer.
11:10I'm interested in your childhood.
11:12Er, yeah.
11:13I used to have to watch Tom and Jerry and Ring of Bright Water.
11:16Different times, Jeremy.
11:17Yeah, very different childhood, evidently.
11:19Yeah, different times.
11:20Anyway, I'm afraid we've got to stop talking now, because we have to take a break.
11:24We're back in a few moments.
11:25See you then.
11:26Welcome back to Millionaire Hot Seat.
11:41We're joined in the hot seat at the moment by Vin Diesel.
11:45He does look incredibly like Vin Diesel.
11:48Yeah, that's my line.
11:49Although he goes by the name of Jay Horton.
11:51Right.
11:52Top prize now, £250,000.
11:55Alright.
11:56This next question is for £5,000.
11:58Here it comes.
11:5930 seconds to answer it.
12:01Which of these people is depicted in the Bayer Tapestry?
12:06Eleanor of Aquitaine?
12:08Edward the Confessor?
12:11Genghis Khan?
12:13Or Cleopatra?
12:18Right, so it's not Cleopatra.
12:21It's during the Anglo-Saxon times.
12:28And so, I'm going to say, rightly or wrongly, B, Edward the Confessor.
12:33Final answer.
12:35Nice work, Vin.
12:36That is the correct answer.
12:38Well done.
12:42And actually, it's the events leading up to the Norman Conquest.
12:45Yeah.
12:46Yeah, exactly right.
12:47So, this is for £7,500.
12:50Still 30 seconds to answer it.
12:52Let's have a look at the question.
12:55Of these letters, which starts the names of the fewest number of countries?
13:01F, Z, J or H?
13:06Hmm.
13:16It's a difficult question.
13:20I'm at...
13:2115 seconds.
13:22Risk it for a biscuit.
13:24And I'm going to say, H, final answer.
13:30I'm afraid that is the wrong answer.
13:33You were doing very well, but not then.
13:38There's three with H.
13:40Haiti, Honduras and Hungary.
13:42How many did you have?
13:44Two.
13:45Two, okay.
13:46I got two with Z, which is...
13:48The answer actually is Z.
13:49Right.
13:50Zambia and Zimbabwe, that's daughter of each other.
13:52Fiji, Finland and France.
13:54Jamaica, Japan and Jordan.
13:55Okay.
13:56Well, I'm really sorry about that, Jay.
13:57No, it's been a pleasure.
13:58But it does mean...
13:59A, we lose the £250,000 top prize.
14:02Sorry about that, everybody.
14:03And B, we have to say goodbye to you, ladies and gentlemen.
14:05Jay Horton.
14:10Next contestant.
14:12There we are.
14:14Welcome.
14:15You're Daisy Kilby, a cyber security analyst.
14:17Yes.
14:18From Birmingham.
14:20New question for you, which means you do have a pass available.
14:23Oh, my God.
14:25Top prize now, £100,000.
14:28Still pretty good.
14:29Yeah, still a lot of money.
14:31Righty-ho, here is your question.
14:35Which of these classic books features a pig called Gub Gub?
14:40The Sheep Pig?
14:42Charlotte's Web?
14:44Animal Farm?
14:45Or the story of Dr Doolittle?
14:49I haven't got a clue, so I'm just going to pass.
14:54Brief time in the chair, barely warmed it up.
14:57Well, OK, if you'd like to go and warm that one up now,
14:59and let's bring out the final contestant.
15:06Hello.
15:07Hello, Jeremy.
15:08Hello, Veronica Wint, recruitment manager from Essex.
15:11Hello, indeed.
15:12Very good luck.
15:13You can't pass on this.
15:14I know.
15:15Which is a bit stressy, I'm sure.
15:18Let me read the question for you again.
15:20Which of these classic books features a pig called Gub Gub?
15:25Right, fitting not a vegetarian, we'll get a question on a pig.
15:29So, Stab in the Dark, Charlotte's Web, final answer.
15:34I'm afraid that's the wrong answer.
15:38OK.
15:40Oh dear, no, I'm really sorry about that.
15:42The correct answer is the story of Dr Doolittle.
15:46The pigs in the other books, the Sheep Pig is Babe.
15:49Yeah.
15:50Charlotte's Web is Wilbur.
15:52Animal Farm is Napoleon, Snowball, Old Major and Squealer.
15:55Right.
15:57So, I'm really sorry about that, but I'm afraid, Veronica,
16:01we've got to say goodbye.
16:02Goodbye.
16:03Ladies and gentlemen, Veronica Wint.
16:04Bye-bye.
16:07We can bring out Will again.
16:11Right now, Will, welcome back.
16:13Thank you, thank you.
16:14You left us when the ladder was on £500.
16:18It's currently on £5,000.
16:20Yeah.
16:21Top prize is now £50,000 because of that incorrect answer.
16:25You're only four questions away from it.
16:27Shall we have a look at the £7,500 question
16:30and remember you can't pass, OK?
16:32Because you've already used it, yeah.
16:35Which metal has the highest melting point?
16:39Tungsten, gold, mercury or sodium?
16:44So, mercury is liquid at room temperature.
16:51Sodium, I don't think it's sodium.
16:54I do think gold has quite a high melting point
16:57because it's used in wire and various other electrical things.
17:02I think it could be Tungsten though.
17:07So, it's a bit...
17:09I think without a pass, I'm going to have to say Tungsten final answer.
17:14You had to say something, you only had three seconds left.
17:18And you are correct.
17:20Tungsten is the right answer.
17:21Right answer.
17:25This is now the £10,000 question.
17:28Let's have a look at it, shall we?
17:30Remember, again, you can't pass.
17:34Which of these best song Oscar winners has the same title as the film it comes from?
17:40City of Stars, Lose Yourself, Moon River or The Way We Were?
17:51Definitely not my strongest area, films or music, which is problematic.
17:58Which of these best song Oscar winners?
18:06I'm looking at B.
18:09Ten seconds.
18:10I don't know the others.
18:12I don't know if Eminem did get an Oscar for this, but the film is called this.
18:16No, it's not. It's called something else.
18:18I'm going to say City of Stars. It's a complete guess.
18:23Ooh, I'm going to take that as your final answer.
18:25That was right on the button.
18:29Incorrect, I'm afraid.
18:31Really sorry.
18:32The correct answer is The Way We Were.
18:35City of Stars is from La La Land.
18:38Lose Yourself is Eight Mile.
18:40Eminem, as you say.
18:41Moon River, a breakfast at Tiffany's.
18:45I'm really sorry about that, but there we are.
18:48You were a good player.
18:50Ladies and gentlemen, Will Bell, thank you.
18:54Right.
18:57Welcome back.
18:58Thank you, Jeremy.
18:59Top prize is now just £20,000.
19:02Still a lot of money.
19:03Yes, it is.
19:04It's worth playing for.
19:05You're only two questions away from me.
19:06You get two right, you're there.
19:08So, Kim Reynolds, you passed on £3,000.
19:11Here we are at £7,500.
19:12This is for £10,000.
19:15In the measuring of geological time, which of these timescales is the longest?
19:23Epoch?
19:24Period?
19:26Eon?
19:27Or era?
19:28Okay.
19:29Okay.
19:30Well, longest.
19:31Epoch?
19:32Epochal?
19:33Eon?
19:34Don't really know what that is.
19:35Period?
19:36I would think it's smaller.
19:37An era, isn't it?
19:39I am not sure.
19:42And so, my initial reaction is to go for epoch, because it's sort of colloquial.
19:48You would say that as a long-time epoch final answer.
19:51Oh, no!
19:54Wrong, I'm afraid.
19:56Never mind.
19:57It's an eon, which is around one billion years.
20:01Era, hundreds of millions of years.
20:03Period.
20:04Tens to hundreds of millions of years.
20:06Epoch, I'm afraid, five minutes.
20:10No, it's tens of millions of years, but it is the shortest, in fact.
20:13Oh, gosh.
20:14Well, I'm really sorry about that.
20:16Ladies and gentlemen, Kim Reynolds.
20:17Sorry, Kim.
20:18Thank you, Kim.
20:19We can now bring back Daisy Kilby.
20:24Hello.
20:25This is a remarkable game.
20:26Yeah.
20:27Because you sat there for two seconds earlier, passed on the only question we were asking.
20:31I've really not earned it, no.
20:32Yeah, you have definitely not earned your place as the only remaining contestant.
20:39Facing a question worth £10,000, you can't pass.
20:43So, let me explain how this works, OK?
20:46This is the final question.
20:48If you get it right, you get £10,000.
20:51If you get it wrong, because we're generous souls, we'll give you £1,000.
20:57So, it's either £10,000 or £1,000.
21:00Better than I came in with, so...
21:01Oh, yeah.
21:02It goes in either way.
21:03This is your question.
21:04This is your question.
21:05£10,000.
21:06In British pre-decimal coinage, which of these coins had the highest face value?
21:16Shilling, farthing, sixpence or crown?
21:22OK.
21:23I'm trying to think back to, like, history class.
21:25The only thing that's coming to mind is a penny farthing, which is a bike, so it's not helpful.
21:29I haven't got a clue at all.
21:32So, this is going to be a complete stab in the dark.
21:35But a crown sounds like it'd be expensive, because it's a crown.
21:40But then is that not right?
21:42Is it sixpence?
21:43Is it shilling?
21:45I'm going to go for crown, final answer.
21:48O, you're there.
21:49Tosey Kilby, you are the luckiest human being alive.
21:54No.
21:57You've known nothing.
22:01And you are leaving here with ten pence.
22:07Unbelievable.
22:09Unbelievable.
22:11The crown is the correct answer.
22:14It's five shillings.
22:17Okay, a shilling was 12 pennies sixpence was six pennies far in quarter of a penny. You're not listening to a word
22:23I'm not seeing people
22:24Gonna spend your ill-gotten gains on it's been fun having you ladies and gentlemen, Daisy Kilby well done
22:32Join me next time when six new players will all be here all hoping to win a million pounds. See you then
22:47You
