00:14You're watching Limitless Win. Now, please welcome two men who bear an uncanny resemblance to Ant & Dec. It's Ant & Dec!
00:30Hello, everybody, and welcome to Limitless Win. Tonight, you've got more teams over to leave here with British TV's biggest prize, but to make it happen, they've got to climb the Limitless Money Ladder.
00:49Come on, that's the LML. The what? The LML, the Limitless Money Ladder. It's just quicker to say LML. That it is, the Limitless Money Ladder.
01:00It takes ages, saying the Limitless Money Ladder. So I just say the LML instead of the Limitless Money Ladder, because that takes ages.
01:07Let's just get on with it, shall we? Our first team are waiting nervously backstage. So let's meet them.
01:15I'm Effie, and I'm a management consultant.
01:18And I'm Kevin. I'm a restaurant area manager, and we're a married couple from London.
01:21We've got a full household.
01:22We had our daughter during the high of the pandemic. Then, second time around, we were blessed with twins.
01:27We used to dealing with high pressure, I would say, aren't we?
01:29Yeah, absolutely.
01:31We want to go for it. You only get the opportunity to play this game once.
01:33Try and nail down the biggest prize ever given on TV, if we can.
01:37Can you imagine climbing that ladder? A million? A million and a half? Two million?
01:42All the things you could do with the children.
01:43I know.
01:44They've never been to Nigeria.
01:46Let's do this.
01:47No risk, no reward.
01:49We're going to go big or go home.
01:51It's Effie and Kevin!
01:52It's Effie and Kevin, husband and wife. Welcome to Limitless Win.
02:10Thank you very much.
02:10Instead of telling us about yourselves, why don't you tell us about each other?
02:15This is my wife, Effie. We've been married for eight years now.
02:17She's a fiercely independent lady with very strong opinions about things.
02:21Trust me, I can vouch for that very clearly.
02:24But she's a fantastic person, very warm, very generous.
02:27She's the ideal partner for me for the game and in general, really, so...
02:32Isn't he nice?
02:33That's lovely. Isn't he lovely?
02:34It's lovely.
02:34Effie, tell us about Kevin.
02:36Oh, he's set the bar now, hasn't he?
02:37Yeah.
02:38Well, I think Kevin as well. He's got a great sense of humour.
02:41He's a great dad to our three children.
02:44He's loving, such a big heart.
02:47Yeah.
02:47I mean, all of that's lovely.
02:48It's lovely.
02:49Very nice.
02:49It's lovely.
02:50Let's be honest, we want to know what winds each other up.
02:52Effie, let's start with you.
02:53Do I have the time?
02:54Kevin, he has this habit.
02:57He's got these four friends that he's known since school
02:59and he's texting them, he's on Facebook Messenger,
03:02he's calling them and that would be fine
03:05if he wasn't taking photos whilst he's doing that
03:07of his face the whole time.
03:08Taking photos of your face?
03:09Yeah.
03:10Well, you know, human emojis is better than normal emojis.
03:13We heard about this and we couldn't quite believe it.
03:15So we secretly infiltrated your WhatsApp group
03:19and we looked at some of the examples of your human emoji pictures
03:22that you've sent.
03:23Oh, I really like that.
03:24We'd like to see...
03:25This is the first one that caught our eye.
03:27Oh, for goodness.
03:28This is like 80s pop video, really feeling the emotion.
03:32We like that one.
03:33Yeah, yeah, exactly.
03:33That's exactly that.
03:34This next one I quite like.
03:36Oh, you're disgusted.
03:37That's disgusted, isn't it?
03:39That is like a...
03:39That's how I feel right now, yeah.
03:41And one more, which I really like.
03:43Yeah.
03:43What is that?
03:45Gormless chef.
03:47Oh, he thought it was just chef.
03:48Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:49That was just chef, exactly, yeah.
03:51Now, we thought, since we've gone to the trouble
03:54of infiltrating the group, we thought we could keep the guys
03:58updated on how you're getting on tonight.
04:00Here are their reactions when we told them in the group
04:02that you were playing Limitless Wind tonight.
04:05Here's Ross.
04:05He's very excited.
04:07Ross is excited.
04:08No way.
04:09And Goodas is particularly excited.
04:12Look at Goodas.
04:12Hey, look at Goodas.
04:13He is very excited.
04:16We're going to keep them updated with how you're getting on
04:18and see if we can get some more human emojis during your show.
04:21It's good.
04:21I love this.
04:22We're all going to be doing it tomorrow.
04:24Well, listen, good luck, Effie and Kevin.
04:26We really hope you win some big money tonight.
04:29Now, to face the Limitless ladder, you need to win some lives.
04:32You do that by answering as many questions as you can in 60 seconds.
04:35Every correct answer wins you five lives.
04:38Are you both ready?
04:39Ready.
04:40Let's do it.
04:40Yeah.
04:41Your time starts now.
04:44Kevin, how many seconds are there in three minutes?
04:47180.
04:47Correct.
04:48Effie.
04:48Planet Earth is orbited by how many permanent moons?
04:52One.
04:53Correct.
04:54Kevin, the Taiwan skyscraper that was once the tallest building in the world
04:57is called Taipei what?
05:02Two.
05:02One on one.
05:03A hendekagon is a shape with how many sides?
05:07Twelve.
05:08Eleven.
05:09In the phrase used by Abraham Lincoln in the Gettysburg Address,
05:12four score and seven years refers to a period of how many years?
05:1887.
05:19Correct.
05:20Effie.
05:20Famous scene in the 1999 film The Matrix,
05:23Morpheus offers Neo a choice between how many coloured pills?
05:27Two.
05:28Correct.
05:28Kevin, how many letters long is the name of the TV presenter Ben Shepard?
05:32Eleven.
05:37Eleven.
05:38Correct.
05:38Effie.
05:38Clement Attlee became Prime Minister in which year?
05:421949.
05:43Ooh!
05:451945.
05:46Oh!
05:46Well done.
05:47Five correct answers.
05:48Gives you 25 lives.
05:49You can now take on The Limbitless Ladder!
05:57Oh, I'm brief, brief.
05:58I'm brief.
05:58Now, remember, to play Limbitless Win, the answer to every question is a number.
06:02The number you give is also the number of steps you climb up the ladder.
06:05If you go under the exact answer, you will lose some of your lives.
06:09If you go over the exact answer, even by one, then it's game over.
06:13But if you give an exact answer, you'll bank cash and get five extra lives.
06:18There are, of course, four lifelines.
06:20They are...
06:21...more than...
06:22...on or even.
06:23...range and take two where the ladder will take two answers.
06:27One from you and one from us.
06:29So, if you're looking for intelligent, well-informed answers, then probably avoid ours.
06:35Let's shovel them up and put them onto your ladder.
06:40Your first one is just above £2,500.
06:42Your second one, just above £30,000.
06:45Your third one is just above £150,000.
06:48And your fourth one, just as you're creeping to a million pounds.
06:52Well, we're going to get to that one.
06:54Yes, please.
06:54Yes, we are.
06:55Come on.
06:55Now, we can see where they are on the ladder, but as you know, we don't know which is which.
06:59Until we get to it.
07:00Shall we get going?
07:01Let's do this.
07:02Here we go.
07:02Good luck.
07:03Here's your first question.
07:06When written as a number, one million is how many digits long?
07:11One, followed by six.
07:13Six zeros.
07:14So, seven.
07:15Start dialing it in.
07:16Yep.
07:18Feels good, huh?
07:19Feels good.
07:19Yeah.
07:20She actually went...
07:21She likes the feel of our dial.
07:24Seven.
07:24Yep.
07:25So, one, six, zero.
07:26Six zeros.
07:26Seven digits.
07:27Yeah.
07:27Ready?
07:27Together.
07:28Let's go.
07:29Oh, that's nice.
07:30You did it together.
07:31I like that.
07:31I like that.
07:32That's very good.
07:33Pulsar.
07:33Very good.
07:34So, you lot did seven.
07:35You're pretty confident.
07:36We're all very confident.
07:38We're seven, aren't we?
07:39Yes!
07:40So, for £500 into your bag is seven.
07:43An exact answer.
07:47Yes, it is!
07:48Good start.
07:49Well done.
07:50Well done.
07:51Well done.
07:51Well done.
07:51Well done.
07:52Very good start.
07:53You just banged £500.
07:54And because you've got an exact answer, what else do you get?
08:00Five more lives.
08:01Five more lives.
08:01Five more lives.
08:02Take you up to 30 lives.
08:04Well done.
08:05Very good.
08:06That's brilliant.
08:06Now, I have to remind you, whenever you do bank cash here on Limitless Win, it is not
08:13yours until you cash out.
08:14You do that by hitting the gold cash out button over here.
08:17It's there if you need it.
08:18One out of one.
08:19An exact answer.
08:20How are you feeling?
08:21Feeling good.
08:22Yeah?
08:22That's helped.
08:23Pretty good, yeah.
08:23Calm the nerves a little.
08:24Calm the nerves a little.
08:25How much money are you hoping to leave Limitless Win with tonight?
08:29We want to go big.
08:30You know, we're only here once, so we're thinking 1.5 million.
08:34Yes!
08:34That's what we want, guys!
08:39Good.
08:39We'll just try as in UK game show history.
08:41You're right.
08:42We'll do that, shall we?
08:43That would be great.
08:44That would be amazing.
08:45Right, good start.
08:4530 liars, £500 in the bag.
08:47Here's your next question.
08:49How old was Rihanna when it was announced by Forbes magazine in August 2021 that she'd become
08:55a billionaire?
08:57Oh, OK, so how old is she now?
09:00So, that was...
09:01She must be, like, 34, 35.
09:03Yeah.
09:05Do you think we should just go under the 30?
09:08We want to go under, don't we, I think, probably, because we're not sure.
09:10Shall I start dialing in?
09:11Start dialing in.
09:13Right, over 25?
09:15She's got to be over 30, hasn't she, now?
09:17Yeah.
09:18Yeah.
09:18Is that too high?
09:21I've got no idea how old she is.
09:23Absolutely not.
09:23Shall we go 25?
09:2626, maybe?
09:2825 feels a bit.
09:29OK, 27.
09:30She's over 30, right?
09:31Yeah, she's over 30.
09:32Yeah.
09:33OK.
09:34Shall we go to that?
09:34Do we have that safe?
09:35Yeah.
09:35Shall we lock it in?
09:36Come on.
09:37I'm doing it.
09:38Yeah.
09:38Oh, that didn't do it.
09:40That didn't last long.
09:41That didn't last long.
09:42You do it.
09:43I'm not being responsible for this.
09:44You do it.
09:45It's a tricky question, that.
09:47The temptation there with 30 lives could be to go very low, but you don't want to lose too many lives either, do you?
09:53No.
09:53No.
09:53You locked in 27 years old.
09:57Did you go over with 27, or are you still in the game?
10:01I need 20.
10:03This needs to light up gold all the way to your answer.
10:05If this turns red, it means you have gone over and it's game over.
10:09Oh, come on.
10:14Oh, my gosh.
10:14Don't slow down yet.
10:16Don't start slowing down now.
10:17We're not even at £5,000.
10:19We've gone under.
10:21We've gone too far.
10:21Come on.
10:22Come on.
10:23We've gone too far.
10:26Come on.
10:27We've gone too far.
10:29You haven't gone too far.
10:31You're still in the game.
10:32You're still in the game.
10:33Hugh, how are you going to slow down now, are you?
10:35I don't know.
10:36I'm just terrible for my nerves, that.
10:37You went through £5,000 by locking in 27.
10:41So, for £5,000 is 27.
10:44An exact answer?
10:47No.
10:48It's not.
10:49You thought you'd under-cooked it?
10:50Yeah.
10:50Yeah.
10:52How many lives are you losing?
11:01Six lives.
11:02Six lives.
11:0333.
11:0433.
11:05OK.
11:06It's stressful, isn't it?
11:07That was only question two.
11:09I know.
11:10But it's OK.
11:11That's what your lives are for.
11:12Don't worry about that.
11:13Losing lives, we don't care about that.
11:15All we care about is banking cash and staying in the game.
11:17Yeah.
11:18You can stay in the game, you get to see the next question,
11:20and that might just be the one you know.
11:21Yeah.
11:22Bit of good news there.
11:23You went through a lifeline.
11:24Let's see which one you got.
11:26More than.
11:27That means you can ask if the exact answer is more than a specific number.
11:31If you want to use it, just hit your white lifeline button.
11:33Ready for another one?
11:34Ready.
11:34Here it is.
11:37If the average price of a UK house is £280,000,
11:40a 5% deposit would be how many £1,000?
11:45So 10%, 28,000.
11:4714, yeah.
11:49Let's just double-check the maths.
11:51Average price, £280,000.
11:55That's 100%.
11:5710% is £28,000.
11:58Yeah.
11:59Half of 10%, 5% is £14,000.
12:0214,000.
12:03Yeah.
12:04I think I feel comfortable with that.
12:05Yeah.
12:06OK.
12:06You can...
12:07Oh, I can do it this one.
12:08Go on.
12:10Ready?
12:11Oh, well done.
12:12Well done.
12:12Well done.
12:13You've done it together.
12:14You've locked in £14,000.
12:17Did you go over with 14% or are you still in the game?
12:29Yeah, you're still in the game and you went through £10,000.
12:33So to put £10,000 in your bank is 14%.
12:36An exact answer.
12:39Yes, it is!
12:40Yeah!
12:41£10,000!
12:43Well done.
12:45Very good.
12:46That's better.
12:47Congratulations, Effie and Kevin.
12:49You've just banked £10,000.
12:52CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
12:53And should we let them know in the group?
12:57I think we should.
12:58Let's get some human emojis back on the board.
13:01I just want to see what...
13:02He said, we don't need to rush with that, do we?
13:05I said, guys, they've just banked £10,000.
13:11If we get anything, I'll let you know.
13:13We'll come back to that.
13:14Let's get back to business.
13:16Good news is you get another five lives taking you back now up to...
13:20£29,000.
13:21That's good.
13:22That's good.
13:22Feels better, doesn't it?
13:23That's what happens on this show.
13:25You lose lives, you get lives.
13:27All you've got to do is get up the ladder.
13:29It's as simple as that.
13:30So, £10,000 in your bank, you've got 29 lives
13:33and you've got the more than lifeline.
13:35Let's have another question.
13:36No, let's not.
13:37Let's just check the group first.
13:38Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
13:39Check the group before we move on.
13:42Oh, we've got some pictures in.
13:43Woo-hey.
13:44Oh, let's have a look.
13:45Oh, yeah, thumbs up.
13:46Gooders.
13:47Gooders got the thumbs up.
13:47Gooders is happy.
13:49Oh!
13:50Ross.
13:51Ross was a good first, isn't he?
13:53Exactly.
13:53Very happy for you.
13:55Now we'll have the question.
13:56OK, concentrate.
13:57Ready?
13:58Here's the question.
13:58To the nearest centimetre, what is the diameter of a Burton's original wagon wheel?
14:07Right.
14:08Definitely one for more than.
14:09More than, yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:10What do we think?
14:11We did our research.
14:12Yeah, we've done a lot of measuring in the supermarket.
14:15Right.
14:15This wasn't one of them.
14:16Oh, I know.
14:18Do we think more than, do we think more than, more than ten?
14:21I was thinking eight.
14:22We'll go eight.
14:23That's a safe answer.
14:24Should we use the microphone?
14:25Yeah, yeah, definitely.
14:26OK, stop the clock.
14:27You're using more than.
14:28Which one have you gone with?
14:29Eight.
14:30Is it more than eight, please?
14:33Oh, it's eight or less.
14:35It could be eight.
14:38All chocolate's shrunk these days, doesn't it, compared to what it used to?
14:42I don't know.
14:43Five feels a bit small.
14:44Yeah, that's like a Jaffa cake.
14:46Is it bigger than a Jaffa cake?
14:49OK, go six, then.
14:51Let's stick with five.
14:52It's not small, is it?
14:53Am I thinking something, the wrong thing?
14:55No, no, wagon wheel's the round one.
14:57Do we lock it in?
14:59I think so.
14:59Are you sure?
15:00I don't think we should go.
15:01You can go less if you want.
15:03Or we can go six.
15:03We've still got quite a lot of lives to play with.
15:08OK, five, five, five.
15:10OK.
15:11Let's lock that one in.
15:12It's better to be safe.
15:12Sure.
15:13Yeah.
15:13All right.
15:13Come on.
15:16Better to be safe, she says.
15:17But you don't want to be too safe.
15:18Don't want to be too safe.
15:19Remember, exact answer, bank your cash.
15:21As you know.
15:22It's probably eight.
15:23Probably eight.
15:23You locked in five centimetres.
15:26Did you go over with five?
15:28Or are you still in the game?
15:37Still in the game with five centimetres.
15:40You went through £20,000.
15:42So to put that in your bank is five.
15:45An exact answer?
15:49No, it's not.
15:50Losing lives.
15:51Not going to be many.
15:52No.
15:52How many lives are we losing?
15:56It was eight.
16:00It was eight.
16:02So you lost three lives.
16:03The exact answer is eight centimetres.
16:07Oh, that's annoying.
16:09But...
16:09You don't have to have such a big smile on your face.
16:11But it just shows you know the answer.
16:15It's in there.
16:16You've worked it out.
16:16You worked it out and then you just...
16:18You just, yeah.
16:18You dialed it down.
16:19You questioned yourself.
16:20Right, it's time for a quick break.
16:22But we'll be back in just a few minutes
16:24to see if these two can keep climbing the Limitless Ladder.
16:27See you back here in just a few minutes.
16:29See you in a minute.
16:29Welcome back to Limitless Wind with Effie and Kevin here.
16:45You've got £10,000 in the bank.
16:47Still 26 lives and £30,000 is our next stop.
16:51We've got a lifeline on the horizon here too,
16:53which will come in handy.
16:54You ready for another question?
16:55Ready.
16:56Here it is.
16:56Right, well, it has to be over 20, doesn't it?
17:09Oh, much more than 20.
17:11In January.
17:12Oh, January.
17:13Oh, good call.
17:16Yeah.
17:17Look where it takes us.
17:21We're called in 2024.
17:23What was it like?
17:23Was it definitely over 20?
17:24I don't remember January being that hard.
17:27Are you sure it was over 20?
17:2820 is quite warm, isn't it?
17:30We go down a bit.
17:31I just about remember last week.
17:33Are you comfortable with 17?
17:34Yeah.
17:35Maybe 16.
17:37They're creeping down.
17:38No, that's not the warmest.
17:40It's going to be so ridiculous, like 25 or something, isn't it?
17:43Should we stick to 17?
17:45Yeah, because we don't know doing it, so...
17:47What do you want to do?
17:48Your call?
17:49My call?
17:49Yeah.
17:50You're absolving responsibly.
17:52Go on, then.
17:53You've got to lock it in.
17:54We're running out of time.
17:56That's tricky.
17:57That is a tricky one.
17:58Because you immediately said 20.
17:59Yeah.
17:59And then re-read it, realised it was January.
18:01January, yeah.
18:02And then your head kind of gauze.
18:03You don't really get that much warm weather in this country in January.
18:06I'm like you.
18:07I don't remember January 2024.
18:08You'd think you'd really remember it, wouldn't you, if it was over 20 degrees.
18:11But...
18:12But again, like you, Kevin, I can't remember what I had for me breakfast.
18:14You had porridge, love.
18:17I did, I did, I did.
18:18That was right, that was delicious.
18:21You've locked in 17 degrees, risking the £10,000 in the bank.
18:28Did you go over with 17 degrees, or are you still in the game?
18:36You need this to light up gold all the way.
18:39If it turns red, remember, it's over.
18:41That's 14, 15, 16, come on.
19:02One more, one more, one more.
19:06Yes!
19:07You're still in the game!
19:08Phew!
19:11And you're landing lovely on £50,000.
19:15It's Everson Eats.
19:16So to put £50,000 into your bank is 17.
19:20An exact answer?
19:23Ah!
19:24No, it's not.
19:26It is warmer than that.
19:28How many lives are we losing?
19:34Three.
19:3520!
19:3620!
19:38You've had it again.
19:39Again, you said 20 straight away.
19:4220 degrees.
19:4320 degrees.
19:44Oh, my gosh.
19:45You went through a lifeline.
19:46Should we see what the lifeline is?
19:49Odd or even?
19:51Shall we have another question?
19:52Yes, please.
19:53Yes, we shall.
19:53Let's do it.
19:53In the Roald Dahl book, the BFG, the big, friendly giant is how many feet tall?
20:03OK.
20:04He's a giant.
20:04Why are you laughing?
20:05Do you know this one?
20:06Oh, I've read it so many times.
20:07Yeah.
20:07Yeah.
20:08Yeah, I love Roald Dahl, but it's been a few years.
20:12Right, he was the smallest of all the giants, wasn't he?
20:15He was smaller than all the other ones.
20:16OK.
20:16Right, but in feet, he's got to be at least 20 feet.
20:2220 feet.
20:24What were you thinking?
20:25Do you want to use the odd or even?
20:27Chances are if you've got it.
20:28Yeah, OK.
20:29Yeah, we'll use the odd or even.
20:31Stop the clock.
20:32Use an odd or even.
20:33Is the exact answer an odd or even number, please?
20:37It's an even number.
20:38Does that help?
20:39Um...
20:4020 is an even number.
20:4120 is an even number.
20:43Look, I'm...
20:44It's a guess.
20:45I don't know.
20:47So, if you want to go down to, like, 16, you can do that.
20:51You've only got 30 seconds.
20:54I am concerned, because it is a guess.
20:56OK.
20:56It's a guess.
20:57I don't know.
20:5718?
20:59We'll leave it at 20.
21:00We've got 20 seconds.
21:03I like the way you're doing your own timings.
21:05It's good.
21:05It kind of puts us out of the job.
21:07What are you for 10 seconds?
21:0918?
21:10Don't let it run out.
21:1118?
21:12Yeah, go on, then.
21:13OK.
21:15Yeah?
21:16Yeah.
21:18Oh, my gosh.
21:19We have no idea.
21:20Dialed it down again.
21:22When did you read them?
21:22When you were a child?
21:23Yeah, yeah.
21:2412 years ago.
21:27Yeah, I loved it when I was a kid.
21:28Yeah.
21:29Might not so much after this, but we'll see.
21:31Very tricky.
21:33Did you go over with 18 feet?
21:36Or are you still in the game?
21:39It's OK.
21:40You've got to take rest.
21:43It might even be, like, 13.
21:51Yeah, that's the thing.
21:52I just don't know.
21:5516.
21:5717.
21:58Still in the game.
22:02Still in the game.
22:04You.
22:04And you went through £75,000.
22:07So it puts £75,000 into your bank is 18.
22:11An exact answer.
22:12No, it's not.
22:17So you're losing lives.
22:23Oh, no.
22:25OK.
22:2724 feet.
22:29That's not bad.
22:30Does 17 lives.
22:31You only lost six there.
22:32Next up's £100,000.
22:34And once we get past that, we start to get in proper chunky numbers.
22:38We've got £100,000, then £150,000, then it jumps to £250,000, then £500,000, then £750,000 and a million.
22:44You've got the lives to play with.
22:46We can do this.
22:47Here's your next question.
22:48Since her first appearance in 1977, how many different actors have portrayed the character Tracey in Coronation Street?
22:58I was always an EastEnders girl.
22:59Oh, no.
23:01I know.
23:02Do you have any idea?
23:03No.
23:03I mean, my mum used to watch it, but I wasn't really paying attention.
23:07I don't even know which one Tracey is.
23:09No.
23:10I think it's going to have to be at least three, isn't it?
23:12Surely.
23:14Yeah.
23:14You think?
23:14Yeah.
23:15Since 1977.
23:16That's a long time.
23:17But you have, like, characters like Ian Bill that have been played by one actor.
23:22I know.
23:23But is it going to be two?
23:25Go with two.
23:27No, we'll stick with three, then.
23:29Is that your gut?
23:30No, I don't have a clue.
23:33But you can afford to be 17 under the exact answer.
23:37I don't think it's going to be 20.
23:38No.
23:38I certainly hope not.
23:40If you want to drop to two, drop to two.
23:43Feel better with two?
23:44Let's go with three.
23:45Ten seconds.
23:47I have no idea.
23:48Check your answer.
23:50I have no idea.
23:50You want to go two?
23:51Five seconds.
23:51You want to go two?
23:52I don't know.
23:52I don't know.
23:53You decide.
23:55Oh, man.
23:58You guys changing your answer at the last second with a second to spare.
24:05Can I watch this from under here?
24:07You've locked in two.
24:10Did you go over with two?
24:11Are you still in the game?
24:14It could be, like, ten and then we're in trouble.
24:16Yeah, I mean, she might come in as a baby.
24:20Still in the game?
24:21Still in the game.
24:23You landed neatly on £100,000.
24:26So for £100,000 into your bank is two an exact answer.
24:33We'll find out right after this break.
24:35Don't go anywhere.
24:36Welcome back to Limitless Wind.
24:50You'll join us in the middle of a question worth £100,000.
24:53The question was, since her first appearance in 1977,
24:59how many different actors have portrayed the character Tracy
25:03in Coronation Street?
25:04You've locked in two.
25:07So for £100,000 into your bank is two an exact answer.
25:15No.
25:17It's going to be like...
25:18Do you reckon she was born into it?
25:19That's what I'm thinking now.
25:21So maybe there was, like, baby actresses.
25:22Tracy Barlow would be Ken Barlow's daughter, I'm assuming.
25:26Yeah, must be.
25:26I thought you didn't know anything about Coronation Street.
25:29I was paying vague attention.
25:31Well, let's find out.
25:33How many lives are you losing?
25:39Only two?
25:40Two.
25:41Well done.
25:42They are Christabel Finch, Holly Shamaret, Dawn Acton,
25:47and Kate Ford currently plays Tracy Barlow.
25:50If that name still is Barlow, I don't know.
25:51It's definitely Tracy.
25:53For a question you had no idea about,
25:55to only lose two lives,
25:57very well done.
25:58Well done.
25:59OK.
25:59This is good.
26:01This has gone right round them, aren't we?
26:02We can do this.
26:04Look.
26:05We all work.
26:06That's it.
26:06Big breath.
26:07Big breath.
26:08Shake it off.
26:09And let's move up that ladder.
26:12You're playing it brilliantly.
26:13You're staying in the game.
26:14One of these days, you're going to get an exact answer.
26:16To get that, we need another question.
26:19Here it is.
26:21September 2026 marks how many years since the first release of the Nirvana album,
26:27Nevermind, which features a baby underwater on the cover?
26:31Please.
26:311991.
26:321991.
26:33Are you sure?
26:33100%.
26:34Are you sure?
26:35OK.
26:35OK, let's do the maths.
26:36Right.
26:37So, 2001 would be 10 years.
26:392011 would be 20 years.
26:422021 would be 30 years.
26:45Wait, what?
26:4535 years.
26:4635 years.
26:48Are you sure?
26:48Just OK, double check.
26:50Oh, my gosh.
26:51Oh, my gosh.
26:52I can't look.
26:53Oh, my gosh.
26:53That's 32, half a million pounds.
26:56OK.
26:56Count again.
26:57Work it up.
26:57Work it up properly.
26:581991.
26:59The first release.
27:00Was that the first release?
27:001991.
27:01Definitely.
27:02First release.
27:031991.
27:03So, how many years do you need to take you to 2000?
27:05Nine.
27:06Nine.
27:07Plus 26.
27:08It's 35.
27:09It's 35.
27:11This was my youth.
27:13Was it?
27:13This was my youth.
27:14Oh, my God.
27:14Was Nirvana your band?
27:15I used to bang my band back when I had hair to bang around.
27:19You banged it all off?
27:19It is all banged off.
27:20Yeah, exactly.
27:21Kevin, I can't.
27:22I'm confident.
27:23It's 1991.
27:24You've gone through half a million pounds.
27:27With 35.
27:28I'm confident.
27:29I'm back here.
27:30Come on.
27:30Ready?
27:31Ready?
27:31Yep.
27:33Oh, my goodness.
27:34Oh, my goodness.
27:36Oh, my goodness.
27:38You've locked in your answer.
27:44You have locked in a huge 35 years.
27:51Did you go over with 35?
27:54Have you overcooked it?
27:57Or are you still in the game?
28:00Please.
28:01This is going to be torturous.
28:03Please.
28:07Oh, my gosh.
28:08If this turns red, you've gone over.
28:11I can't lock that.
28:12How do you think we feel?
28:16Oh, my gosh.
28:20Oh, my gosh.
28:23Come on.
28:23Come on.
28:24Come on.
28:24Come on.
28:25Come on.
28:26Oh.
28:26Come on.
28:29Oh.
28:30We're into the 30s now.
28:31Come on.
28:32Come on.
28:3331.
28:34Come on.
28:3532.
28:36Oh, my gosh.
28:37Please.
28:3733.
28:42Come on.
28:43Come on.
28:44We just need one more.
28:44One more.
28:45Stay in the game.
28:46You're still in the game.
28:52You're still in the game.
28:55You're still in the game, guys.
28:57Is this it?
28:59Is this the one night you knew exactly?
29:02You went through half a million pounds.
29:04This is unreal.
29:05So to put half a million pounds into your bank is 35.
29:08An exact answer.
29:09You have just won half a million pounds.
29:39Wow.
29:42Right.
29:43Talk us through how you knew that so definitely.
29:46I mean, when I was a teenager listening to that music,
29:48my mum was to say to me,
29:49why are you wasting your time on this rubbish?
29:53And that's all I've got to say to you now, mum.
29:55I think I made the right choice.
29:58I love music.
29:59I love Nirvana.
30:00I remember the album.
30:01I just knew it was 91.
30:02I knew it.
30:03You did it.
30:04Oh, my God.
30:04Well, that smells like teen spirit to me.
30:07Very good.
30:08How do you feel?
30:09I mean, half a million pounds.
30:12I can't tell you what it's going to do for our lives.
30:15It's...
30:16I can't actually believe it.
30:18This is amazing.
30:19That's an incredible amount.
30:21Does it all feel a little surreal?
30:23Very, very surreal.
30:24Very.
30:25This opportunity just doesn't happen for people like us.
30:29I can't imagine, like, it's just going to change our lives.
30:33And what would you do with Akash?
30:34I was born in Nigeria.
30:36We haven't been able to take our children there.
30:38So I'd love the opportunity to fly them all there.
30:41And I could just imagine them running off the plane, being my grandma.
30:45It would be amazing.
30:45Oh, that would be wonderful.
30:46How brilliant would that be?
30:47Yeah, it would be amazing.
30:49Kevin, anything for you?
30:50Got a passion one day, I think, eventually to open my own restaurant.
30:53Right.
30:53Always something that I've wanted to do.
30:55So this would give a massive head start for that.
30:57More good news for you is that you've got another five much-needed lives.
31:02Yeah.
31:03So it takes you back up to...
31:0520 lives.
31:07Well, we can have a look.
31:09You went through another lifeline.
31:10Let's see what it is.
31:13Take two.
31:14That's the only cloud to this silver lining, is that it's take two.
31:18That means the ladder will take two answers, one from you and one from us.
31:21The worst answer will then be rejected.
31:23Let's not stop there.
31:24Let's keep playing.
31:25Let's win.
31:25Let's have another question.
31:27In 1997, Ronnie O'Sullivan set a professional snooker tournament record
31:32by scoring a maximum break of 147 in how many minutes and eight seconds?
31:39Not one of my best sports.
31:42What do you think?
31:43We've got 20 lives to spare, so it's not going to be...
31:47It has to be less than half an hour or four.
31:49Really?
31:50Yeah.
31:50You don't think so?
31:51I don't know snooker.
31:53Shall we dial in?
31:5422?
31:58Was that too small?
32:00No, it feels like it could be higher to me.
32:02Too high?
32:03Okay.
32:03I don't know, though.
32:04I don't really watch snooker.
32:05I don't know.
32:07What would be your safe answer?
32:10One.
32:10One.
32:10Do you want to use our lifeline?
32:14So much to risk.
32:15I know.
32:16You want to use lifeline?
32:17It's eight safe.
32:1820 seconds left.
32:20I don't know.
32:20One less.
32:21Five.
32:21Five?
32:22Okay.
32:24Yeah?
32:25Am I fine?
32:26Yeah.
32:26Stop the clock.
32:28You're using take two.
32:29Now, what's going to happen is you're going to use the dial and lock in your answer.
32:33We've got then 30 seconds to swap places with you and enter our answer.
32:38However...
32:39This is important.
32:39Once you lock in your answer, you can no longer cash out.
32:44Okay?
32:44So there's no going back.
32:45Restart the clock.
32:47Are you happy for five?
32:48Is it going to be more than 25?
32:49Ten seconds.
32:49I don't think so.
32:50Okay.
32:51Let's lock it in.
32:52Okay.
32:53Oh, man.
32:54This is really difficult.
32:56I think five is six.
32:57I was thinking more like 12, 10.
33:02Should we go 10?
33:05That's pretty speedy to finish.
33:08It's not going to be five.
33:09You can't have done it any quicker than five minutes, eight seconds.
33:12So why don't we go 10?
33:13And if it's 13.
33:14And if it's 13.
33:15Yeah.
33:1512?
33:16Yeah.
33:18I've got no idea.
33:1912.
33:2012.
33:20Okay.
33:21Oh, it's gone for it.
33:23Okay.
33:23They've gone five.
33:24We've gone 12.
33:25Well, that just gives us a little bit more headroom.
33:27Yeah.
33:28With the lives we've got.
33:29Okay.
33:31That's such a tricky question.
33:32It's a tricky one.
33:33And you played it?
33:35Yeah.
33:35By locking in, you risked that half a million.
33:37Oh, my God.
33:38Don't say it like that.
33:39Don't say it out loud.
33:40You locked in five.
33:43We locked in 12.
33:45Let's see which answer the ladder has rejected
33:48and which answer we're left with.
33:52Oh.
33:54Oh, no.
33:55Oh, my God.
33:56No.
33:57It's okay.
33:57It's okay.
33:59No.
34:00It's okay.
34:00The ladder has rejected the higher number of 12.
34:03It's okay.
34:04So that must have been over.
34:06Question now.
34:08Is this five over as well?
34:12Or are you still in the game?
34:14Okay.
34:15My hand.
34:16Kevin.
34:16One more.
34:45One more.
34:46You're still in the game.
34:52You're still in the game.
34:56You're still in this game.
34:59Oh, my God.
35:00So we know 12 was over.
35:01So we can't be losing any more than seven lives.
35:05Oh, my God.
35:06You landed ever so neatly on three quarters of a million pounds
35:11for £750,000 into the bank.
35:16Is five an exact answer?
35:21Oh, my God.
35:26Oh, my God.
35:27Oh, my God.
35:28Oh, my God.
35:30Oh, my God.
35:31Oh, my God.
35:32Yay!
35:35Oh, yes! Get in there!
35:37Evan!
35:38Oh, no!
35:40Oh, my God!
35:41Oh, my God!
35:42Oh, my God!
35:44Oh, wow!
35:45Yes!
35:46Yes!
35:47Yes!
35:48Yes!
35:49Get over here, because I've got something very important to say
35:52to you two.
35:53You have just banked £750,000!
35:57CHEERING
36:00Oh, my goodness!
36:03And you said you didn't know anything about snooker.
36:06Let's all just breathe for a minute.
36:08Can we just breathe for a minute?
36:09Let's just relax for a minute.
36:11How are you feeling?
36:15When you left the house this morning to come to be on Olympus Win,
36:18did you honestly think that you would be banking
36:21three-quarters of a million pounds?
36:22It's one thing to talk about what you're going for,
36:24and we meant it, you know, but to be here...
36:26We have to risk it.
36:27..and to be looking at that.
36:28Wow.
36:30This is...
36:31This is...
36:32Incredible.
36:33You were very, very brave...
36:34Yeah.
36:35..wonderfully brave to lock in that answer,
36:37because a lot of people get to that kind of figure
36:40and they just walk away.
36:41I was playing on my own.
36:42It's good.
36:43Well done.
36:44Well done.
36:45You used your lives brilliantly.
36:47Speaking of lives, exact answers, get you five more.
36:51Takes you back up now to...
36:5225.
36:53Brilliant.
36:54This is incredible.
36:55Good.
36:56You're using them so brilliantly.
36:57You are.
36:58That's the same lives as you started with,
37:01and you've had nine questions.
37:03This is brilliant.
37:04We're playing with some proper chunky numbers now.
37:08We're getting into seven figures.
37:10One million pounds.
37:11Then a British TV record for a quiz show on 1.25 million.
37:16Then your target of one and a half million pounds.
37:21You're halfway there.
37:22It's reachable.
37:23Yeah.
37:24I can't believe this.
37:25It's reachable.
37:26Right, time for a quick break,
37:28but not before we've told you all about our fantastic competition.
37:31You could win £75,000 tax-free.
37:34Here's how.
37:35Text WIN to 68333.
37:37Text costs £2 plus one standard network rate message.
37:40Or text 5 to 68333 to get five entries for £5,
37:44plus your standard network rate message.
37:47Go to the website.

37:55Entrance must be 18 or over.
37:57The prize draw closes at 10am on Monday the 23rd of March.
38:00Good luck and see you after the break.
38:11Welcome back to Luminous Wind,
38:13where we're all feeling the tension.
38:16£750,000 in the bank.
38:1825 lives to play with.
38:19£1 million is our next stop.
38:21£1 million would equal the highest amount of money
38:24we've ever given away on Limitless Wind.
38:27Ready for the next question?
38:29Yep.
38:30How many US states border Canada, including borders in the Great Lakes?
38:38Good old geography.
38:39I know.
38:40Well, we might as well play.
38:41It's not going to be 25.
38:4325.
38:44I don't think so.
38:45It's not going to be 25.
38:46There's 50 states.
38:47Yeah, I know.
38:48There's 50 states.
38:49Including borders in the Great Lakes.
38:51Yeah, because there's, like, isn't...
38:53Detroit is across the water from Canada, isn't it, for example?
38:57Sorry, it's Michigan, isn't it?
38:58That's the state of Detroit.
38:59Yeah, yeah, Michigan.
39:00Detroit's a city.
39:01What would you dial in?
39:02Well, at least one.
39:04Yeah, that's about it.
39:05Two.
39:07So what states can you name that border Canada?
39:11Canada.
39:12I can name loads of states, but whether they border Canada...
39:15I'm not...
39:16Canada's huge.
39:17Yeah.
39:18Shall we go three?
39:22I think it's going to be high.
39:24All we have to know is three safe.
39:2620 seconds.
39:27We've got 750,000.
39:28I know Michigan does.
39:29That's it.
39:30I don't...
39:31Where's Michigan?
39:32On the border of Canada.
39:3510 seconds.
39:36We're running out of time.
39:38Maybe I'm going to take it.
39:40What?
39:41You want to keep going?
39:42Should we keep going?
39:43Come on.
39:44Let's keep going.
39:45Okay.
39:46Who needs to lock in or cash out?
39:47Oh, gosh.
39:48Oh, my goodness.
39:49You did go to lock in there, right?
39:54You want to do everything.
39:55Yeah.
39:56Yeah.
40:02Right, you've locked in your answer.
40:04By doing so, you risk the £750,000 in your bank.
40:11Did you go over with three?
40:16Or are you still in the game?
40:18You're still in the game.
40:19You're still in the game.
40:20You're still in the game.
40:21So, for another five lives, is three states an exact answer?
40:40Five.
40:41Yeah.
40:42Yeah.
40:43It can't be as nice to be.
40:44No.
40:45It can't be.
40:46It isn't.
40:47Can't be 28 states, can it?
40:4828 states.
40:49No, you'd hope not.
40:50It's more than half the country.
40:51Yeah, yeah.
40:52Can't be.
40:53Can't be.
40:54Right, we're losing lives.
40:55The question is, how many?
40:57Yeah, I think it is.
40:59It might be 14.
41:00Oh, my God!
41:05Stopped.
41:06Stopped.
41:0710 lives.
41:0813.
41:09There they are.
41:10Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
41:14Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho,
41:18Washington and Alaska.
41:20Well done.
41:21Listen, you played it.
41:23It's the way to use your lives.
41:24It's the way to play the game.
41:26However, if you could do it without one second to go,
41:28it would be better for all of our blood pressures.
41:31Are you OK?
41:32We're good.
41:33Yeah, you're both good?
41:34Yeah.
41:35Kevin, you always made a reach for it.
41:37I was, yeah, I was pretty close to diving across.
41:40Yeah.
41:41Just to remind you where it is if you do need it.
41:43Yeah, yeah.
41:44I'm very aware of where it is.
41:45Do you have another question?
41:47Yes, please.
41:48Come on, then.
41:49The record-setting traffic jam that took place at the border
41:55between East and West Germany in 1990 involved how many
41:59million vehicles?
42:01I have no idea.
42:04Yeah, I mean, so this would have been when the wall came down,
42:07wouldn't it?
42:08So mayhem, gridlock everywhere.
42:10Is it going to be more than 15 million vehicles?
42:13No.
42:14Sure not.
42:15So...
42:16But it's a complete guess.
42:19What would your guess be?
42:20Something like five, but, I mean, it's a guess.
42:24Five?
42:25Yeah.
42:26Maybe we should dial in two.
42:32Or one.
42:33It's going to be over a million, isn't it?
42:35Fifteen or how many millions?
42:36I didn't say how many millions, it's how many million vehicles.
42:38How many million vehicles?
42:40Twenty seconds.
42:41Are you sure you want to play this?
42:43Are you sure?
42:44Is it going to be more?
42:45You can.
42:46I think I want to cash out.
42:47You want to cash out?
42:48You can.
42:49You can.
42:50Cash out.
42:51You've got ten seconds.
42:52Go on, if you want to play.
42:53No.
42:54Let's cash out.
42:55Come on.
42:56Yeah?
43:01Effie and Kevin cash out tonight for £750,000!
43:07Congratulations!
43:08Congratulations!
43:09Oh, my God.
43:10How do you feel?
43:11Relieved now.
43:12That was just the most insane game of Limitless Win.
43:13Effie, I thought you were going to play that.
43:14I was.
43:15She was.
43:16She could see me nearly crying.
43:17I was like, is this my marriage?
43:18I'm not sure.
43:19Remind us what that money will do and how it will change your lives.
43:22I can't.
43:23All the...
43:24I can't.
43:25All the...
43:26I can't.
43:27I can't.
43:28I can't.
43:29I can't.
43:30I can't.
43:31I can't.
43:32I can't.
43:33I can't.
43:34I can't.
43:35I can't.
43:36All the...
43:37How it's going to help our family, our friends, your restaurant.
43:40I know.
43:41Amazing.
43:42It's...
43:43To see that amount and know that it's ours is just, yes, beyond their wildest dreams.
43:47It really is.
43:48It's amazing.
43:49Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity.
43:51Oh, two wonderful players.
43:52I can't believe it.
43:53And your little kids.
43:54I know.
43:55They're just going to be...
43:56Set them up for life.
43:57Yeah.
43:58Set them up for life.
43:59It's wonderful.
44:00Get childcare for them while we go on holiday.
44:01Oh, man.
44:02Very honest answer.
44:03I like that honest answer.
44:04Well done.
44:05Before we let you go, I mean, I'm sure you're as curious as we are to find out what the
44:11exact answer was.
44:12Would you have gone in one or two, do you think, Effie?
44:14I would have gone in with one.
44:16What is the exact answer, please?
44:19Whoa!
44:20Oh, my goodness!
44:21Would have been out.
44:22It would have been out.
44:23You would have been out.
44:24You would have just lost three quarters of a million quid.
44:27Oh, I'm so pleased!
44:28I'm so pleased!
44:29Oh!
44:30I'm so pleased!
44:31That's the right thing.
44:32Oh, my Lord!
44:33That feels even sweeter.
44:34That feels even sweeter.
44:35We are thrilled you're taking away such a lot of money tonight.
44:38Yeah.
44:39These human emojis on the group are going to be absolutely off the scale from here on.
44:44We're not going to tell them.
44:45You send the message later, then we'll put the pictures at the end of the show.
44:48Yeah.
44:49Thank you so much.
44:50Yeah.
44:51Well done.
44:52You are going away tonight with £750,000.
44:55Let's hear it one more time.
44:57Bethany and Kevin!
44:58Woo!
44:59Oh, my God!
45:00APPLAUSE
45:05Oh!
45:07Good night!
45:08Good night!
45:09Good night!
45:10Oh, my God!
45:11There's a lie down here.
45:12What a great kid!
45:13Fuck him!
45:14Fuck him!
45:20Oh, my God!
45:22Think also a million pounds.
45:24It just doesn't happen to people like us.
45:27No, no. Apparently it does.
45:30I can't believe it.
45:31So Effie and Kevin use their wits and their courage
45:34to leave here with a life-changing three-quarters of a million pounds.
45:38That's what you get when you hold your nerve
45:39and take your chances on Limitless Win.
45:42Right, that's it for tonight's show, but don't worry,
45:44we'll see you all again next time.
45:46Thanks for watching. See you soon. Good night, everybody.
45:48Good night. Good night, all right.
45:51I'm taking a selfie.
45:52Thank you. What face are you going to pull, Artie?
46:02Can we attempt you with another question?
46:04Yes, please. Yes, please, on the deck.
46:07Oh, what?
46:08We might just know the answer.
46:11Come on.
46:12Next stop, three-quarters of a million pounds.
46:15Come on! Yes!
46:17No. No.
46:18Ashley. Limitless Win!
46:19No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No
