00:00You're watching On Demand. Please check the closing time before trying to vote or enter any competition or other interactivity in this programme, as it may not count and you may still be charged.
00:15You're watching Limitless Win. Please welcome two men who are both wearing new trousers. It's Hunter Day.
00:30Hello, everybody, and welcome to Limitless Win!
00:39Every single one of tonight's teams are determined to leave here with the biggest cash prize on British TV, but to do that, they've got to scale the epic heights of the Limitless Money Ladder!
00:53Yes, some serious amounts up there, and tonight our teams have the chance to do two things.
00:58Number one, change their lives. And number two, bankrupt ITV!
01:02Right, so our first team are desperate to get going, so let's meet them.
01:08My name's Manisha. And I'm Ricky. And we're a married couple from Birmingham.
01:12Competitiveness definitely runs through my blood. Being one of five, it always makes me push myself harder.
01:18Oh, I agree with that, yes. Very loud.
01:21We've been through the spreadsheets. We've been through the spreadsheets.
01:23We know all the song lyrics. Yes. Call your sisters.
01:26Hi, guys. Hi.
01:29We're literally just about to go on the show.
01:32Sorry, Jen!
01:33Remember why you're doing this? The legacy you want to leave for your kids? Have in mind why you're doing it.
01:39Oh, breathe.
01:41Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
01:43No risk, no reward is my mantra.
01:46Just think before we answer anything. Yeah, yeah. And just read the question.
01:49Yeah.
01:50It's Manisha and Ricky!
01:52CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
01:56Manisha and Ricky, welcome to the show. Thank you.
02:09What's the team dynamic here? Talk us through it. How does it work?
02:12I'm more of the considered one. Right.
02:15So I will think things through, talk it through, whereas I think Ricky's a bit more...
02:19Moose cannon! Yeah.
02:21Risky Ricky.
02:22I like it.
02:23Yeah.
02:24No risk, no reward.
02:25We're not going to adopt that.
02:26Right.
02:27OK.
02:28That's me, Tom.
02:29Shut up, man.
02:30What subjects are you hoping come up tonight?
02:33Anything to do with Emmerdale.
02:34I'm your girl.
02:35OK.
02:36Emmerdale.
02:37Emmerdale.
02:38Right.
02:39Big fan of Emmerdale, huh?
02:40Went and did the tour and everything.
02:41Did you?
02:42Yeah, it was a Christmas present, the best Christmas present it's ever got me.
02:45Big fans of Emmerdale, huh?
02:46We're all big fans, yeah.
02:47Funnily enough, we happen to know that Emmerdale are very big fans of yours.
02:52What?
02:53Have a look at this.
02:54What?
02:55Well, this is brilliant, isn't it?
03:00Our old mates, Ricky and Manisha, are on Limpless Win.
03:02I know, it's exciting.
03:03Oh, my God!
03:04Look, I can't believe Manisha lent me her lovely snoody.
03:07Oh, no.
03:10What is it?
03:11Oh, my God!
03:12I've got Ricky's lucky baby blanket.
03:14Is that the one he keeps hitting in the bottom drawer?
03:17Yeah.
03:18The one he took all the way to uni with him?
03:20Well, I'd be fine without it, won't I?
03:22Oh, my God!
03:23I'm going to do so, because if they win big, I'm going to ask them to lend us a few quid so we can sort the farm out.
03:28Well, there's only one way to find out.
03:30Come on, Ricky and Manisha, get yourselves up that ladder!
03:33Oh, no, you're still in the doghouse.
03:36That is crazy.
03:37Oh, my God!
03:38Oh, my God!
03:39Oh, my God!
03:40Oh, my God!
03:41Oh, my God!
03:42Oh, my God!
03:43Told you!
03:44Big fans of you two!
03:45Yeah, we would!
03:46Can I just clear something?
03:47Oh, haven't watched that.
03:48Yeah.
03:49You took a baby blanket all the way to university.
03:51I did, yeah.
03:52It's just something that's been with me since I was...
03:54A baby!
03:55Yeah!
03:56Well, we'll make sure you get it back and we hope it brings you luck tonight.
03:57Thank you very much.
03:58Thank you very much.
03:59Now, to face the limitless ladder, you need to win some lives.
04:00You do that by answering as many questions as you can in 60 seconds.
04:01Every correct answer wins you five lives.
04:02Your time starts now.
04:03Ricky, a percentage is an amount expressed as a proportion of what number?
04:20100.
04:21Correct.
04:22Manisha, in the well-known Brothers Grimm fairy tale Cinderella, how many stepsisters does Cinderella have?
04:27Two.
04:28Correct.
04:29Ricky, in the English alphabet, how many letters come before the letter?
04:3214.
04:33Correct.
04:34Benisha, in which year was William, Prince of Wales born?
04:471982.
04:48Correct.
04:49Ricky, December 2025 marked the milestone anniversary of how many years since Coronation Street was first broadcast?
04:5760 years.
04:5865.
04:59Still you.
05:00The name of London's major river, the word Thames, is how many letters long?
05:06Six.
05:07Correct.
05:08Minisha, how many US states are there on the continent of North America?
05:1216.
05:1349.
05:14Still you.
05:15In centimetres, what's the length of a standard double duvet?
05:19Would you have got that?
05:20No.
05:21200.
05:22200 centimetres is your standard double duvet.
05:24Well done.
05:25Five correct answers gives you 25 lives.
05:28And you can now take on the limitless ladder.
05:29And remember that, the answer to every question is a number.
05:39The number you give is also the number of steps.
05:41You'll climb up the ladder.
05:42If you go under the exact answer, you will lose some of those 25 lives.
05:46If you go over the exact answer, even by one, it's game over.
05:51But if you give the exact answer, you'll bank cash and get five extra lives.
05:56And finally, to help you on your way, you get four lifelines.
06:00They are...
06:01More than.
06:02On or even.
06:03Range.
06:04And take two.
06:06The ladder will take two answers.
06:08One from you and one from us.
06:10I think we all know which one's going to be the smart choice.
06:13Yeah.
06:14Let's shuffle up those lifelines and put them on your ladder.
06:17Where are they going?
06:18Where are they going?
06:19Where are they going?
06:20Where are they going?
06:21Where are they going?
06:22There.
06:23Your first lifeline is just after £2,500.
06:25Your second one just before £30,000.
06:27Your third lifeline is in between £100,000 and £150,000.
06:31And your fourth one, just under £1,000,000.
06:36Oh!
06:37I'll do it again.
06:38We'd like to get to that one, please.
06:40So we can see where they are on the ladder, but we don't know
06:42which one is which until we get there.
06:44Good luck to you both.
06:45Here's your first question.
06:47The three words abbreviated to NHS in the name of the UK's
06:51publicly funded healthcare system are a total of how many
06:54letters long?
06:56A mouthful for me, that question.
06:58Let's hope they understood it.
06:59I-O...
07:01N-A-L.
07:03National.
07:04Yeah, that's eight.
07:05H-E-A-L-T-H.
07:12S-E-R.
07:15I've stopped adding the dial. Come on.
07:17B-I-C-E.
07:22That was 27.
07:24Cool.
07:26Oh, right, OK, let's do that again.
07:27OK.
07:28Let's do it again.
07:29Yes.
07:30N-A-T-I-O-N-A-L.
07:33Yeah.
07:34H-E-A...
07:3620 seconds to go.
07:37Yeah.
07:38L-T-H-S-E-R-V-I-C-E.
07:44So, 21.
07:4521.
07:46Lock it in.
07:47Yeah.
07:48Should we both do it together?
07:49Oh, my word.
07:50Can somebody call the National Health Service for me, please?
07:53I think we need it.
07:54I think we need it.
07:55Oh, wow.
07:56Look at that how to count.
07:57Oh, no.
07:58That's what Limitless Wind does to you.
07:59Yeah.
08:00Honestly.
08:01Like I said, I couldn't even count how many fingers there were on my hand.
08:04You've locked in 21.
08:06Did you go over with 21?
08:08After all of that, I hope not.
08:10Why are you still in the game?
08:12I don't know that.
08:13Oh, God.
08:14I don't want to play another.
08:16This needs the light of gold all the way to your answer.
08:18If it turns red, it means you've gone over.
08:20And it's game over.
08:23You're still in the game.
08:25Oh.
08:26And you went through £2,500.
08:29So, for £2,500, into your bank after the first question,
08:33is 21 an exact answer?
08:36Oh, for suspense.
08:40Yes!
08:41CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
08:43Yes, yes, yes.
08:45Oh, I know you are all fingers of thumbs.
08:48So, into your bank goes £2,500.
08:52Oh, God, God.
08:55That's good, isn't it?
08:57Good start.
08:58That feels good.
08:59Well done.
09:00One question and you bank some cash.
09:01And we've got even more good news because...
09:03Five lives.
09:04What do exact answers give you?
09:05Five lives.
09:06Five lives.
09:07That's right.
09:08Five's up to 30 lives now.
09:09Very good.
09:10That is good.
09:11That is good.
09:12Well done.
09:13So, you're feeling a bit more relaxed.
09:14Yeah.
09:15A bit calmer.
09:16Yeah, now we are.
09:17Now, you've got two lovely kids at home.
09:18Ila and Leo.
09:19We have, yeah.
09:20In between looking after them.
09:21Uh-huh.
09:22How have you been prepping for the show?
09:23Like, the longest spreadsheet I've ever put together.
09:25Really?
09:26Honestly.
09:27Covering what?
09:28Everything.
09:29Everything you can think of.
09:30Like, the length of food, the amount of biscuits in a packet, countries.
09:34She's also been going around Tesco with a 30cm ruler, measuring things, you know.
09:39Anything.
09:40Shoppers.
09:41Yeah, the shoppers, yeah.
09:42Looking at her, thinking, yeah.
09:43Good prep.
09:44That is very good prep.
09:45We're trying.
09:46We're trying.
09:47Two and a half thousand pounds in the bank.
09:48Here's the next question.
09:49To the nearest centimetre, what is the length of a standard 21.5 gram Cadbury Curly Wurly chocolate bar, not including the wrapper?
10:01So, is it longer than my palm?
10:05Because that was 15 centimetres.
10:10Right, OK.
10:11You mean it wasn't in the supermarket?
10:13Mmm.
10:14It wasn't on your spreadsheet?
10:15It wasn't on the spreadsheet.
10:16Did you not have a tab for that?
10:18Should we put in ten?
10:19No.
10:20I...
10:21For starters, you're saying that's 15.
10:23Yeah, that's definitely 15.
10:24That's a ballpark.
10:25That's a ballpark.
10:26Because I just don't think that they're that long anymore.
10:29I think 12's safe.
10:31Not a while.
10:32I'm thinking...
10:33What?
10:34A bit more safer.
10:35Ten.
10:36Ten.
10:38OK.
10:39OK.
10:40Go for ten.
10:41Are you sure?
10:42Do you think ten is safe?
10:4320 seconds left.
10:44At this stage.
10:45We've got lives.
10:46We've got lives, but obviously we don't want to go over either.
10:48So let's go for ten.
10:49Are you sure?
10:50Yeah.
10:51Let's go for ten.
10:52This is your one, then.
10:53It's safe.
10:54OK.
10:55Wow, question two.
10:56Hang on.
10:57What happened to Risky Ricky?
10:58No, I'm just...
10:59Yeah, because obviously...
11:00The tables have turned.
11:01Yeah, I know.
11:02You did turn into a cautious Colin.
11:03You did turn into a cautious Colin.
11:05Aww.
11:06So you know when you said they're not as big as they used to be, is that because all chocolates just got smaller?
11:11Yeah.
11:12It has, hasn't it?
11:13Or maybe we've got bigger.
11:14I think we've got bigger, haven't we?
11:15Haven't we, guys?
11:16It's a bit of both, you know.
11:17Haven't we all got bigger?
11:18We haven't all got bigger.
11:19But the old curly-wurly and the new curly-wurly, neither of them made it onto your spreadsheets.
11:24No.
11:25So you don't know for certain.
11:27No.
11:28And you never know my coming handy yet.
11:31You have locked in ten centimetres.
11:35This is going to be more than ten.
11:37Did you go over with ten?
11:38Ricky's not so sure.
11:39Or are you still in the game?
11:42Ten centimetres.
11:43Surely you could have gone over with...
11:45Not with ten centimetres.
11:46Ten centimetres.
11:47Probably harsh.
11:50What is it saying now?
11:51Eight.
11:52It's going too slow.
11:53Nine.
11:54One more.
11:55Come on, one more.
11:56Yes.
11:57Ten.
11:58Still in the game.
11:59Well done.
12:00You went through £5,000.
12:01So you have to put £5,000 into your bank.
12:03Is ten centimetres an exact answer?
12:06Surely it's not ten.
12:12No.
12:13I didn't know it, though.
12:14So you're losing lives.
12:15Okay.
12:16Let's find out how many.
12:23Oh, 16!
12:25Six!
12:26So the exact answer was...
12:2916 centimetres.
12:30You took me out of you.
12:31No, I didn't!
12:32Oh!
12:33We all watched the same game, didn't we?
12:36Hang on.
12:37Who talked who or what?
12:38Let's just rewind this so we're going to have another look.
12:40It's on the telly, you know, Ricky!
12:42Oh!
12:43She said that is 15 centimetres cos she's measured it.
12:47Yeah.
12:48But then he's like, yeah, OK, my fault.
12:50I'll amount up to that one.
12:51Little bit of good news, you did go through a lifeline.
12:54OK.
12:55OK.
12:56More than!
12:57More than!
12:58Yeah.
12:59But more than means you can ask if the exact answer is more than a specific number.
13:03Here's your next question.
13:06Used in the ultimate fighting championship, the enclosure called the octagon has how many sides?
13:13Surely it would have to be eight.
13:15Dial it in!
13:16It's like...
13:17There's got to be.
13:18There's eight sides to an octagon.
13:20Definitely, isn't there?
13:22Yeah, octagon's octagon.
13:23One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
13:27Yeah.
13:28Yeah, there's definitely eight sides to an octagon.
13:30It's got to be.
13:31It's not going to be anything less.
13:32What would we call an octagon?
13:34It's just...
13:35But, yeah, I can't see it.
13:36No.
13:37We know, we know that.
13:38We're talking ourselves out of it now.
13:39So, yeah.
13:40Definitely octagon.
13:41Yeah, bye.
13:42Well, Tom, you've locked in your answer.
13:44You locked in eight.
13:45Eight.
13:46I mean, I feel daft asking it, but I've got to ask it.
13:49That's my job.
13:50Did you go over with eight, or are you still in the game?
13:59Still in the game, sort of put five grand into your bank.
14:02Is it an exact answer?
14:03Well...
14:04Surely.
14:05Well done.
14:06Be confident.
14:07Be confident.
14:08Good.
14:09Yeah.
14:10You trusted yourselves.
14:11You locked it in.
14:12There's no trick questions on Limitless Win.
14:13There are tricky questions, but no trick questions.
14:14Okay.
14:15Very well done.
14:16You just banged £5,000!
14:17APPLAUSE
14:18And the good news keeps on coming, because...
14:20Exact answers.
14:21Win you five more lives.
14:22That takes you now up to...
14:2329 lives.
14:24Very good words.
14:25That's really good.
14:26That's good.
14:27Come on.
14:28Yes.
14:29You've got the bit between your teeth now.
14:30Do you want another question?
14:31Yes, please.
14:32Yes, please.
14:33Yes, please.
14:34On the deck.
14:35What is the total number of words in the traditional first verse of the British National Anthem?
14:41God save our gracious King. Long live our noble King.
14:44Oh, God won't be on you.
14:45That's a good word.
14:46That's a good word.
14:47That's really good.
14:48That's really good.
14:49That's good.
14:50Yeah.
14:51Come on.
14:52You've got the bit between your teeth now.
14:53Do you want another question?
14:54Yes, please.
14:55Yes, please.
14:56Yes, please.
14:57On the deck.
14:58What is the total number of words in the traditional first verse of the British National Anthem?
15:01God save our gracious King. Long live our noble King.
15:10Ooh, God won't be on you.
15:11God save the King.
15:14Send him victorious, happy and glorious, long to reign over us.
15:25Over us.
15:2625, I think.
15:27Yeah.
15:28Wait.
15:29No.
15:30No.
15:31God save our great...
15:32No.
15:33Now I've lost the lyrics.
15:34Can we just do the more, though?
15:35You said 25.
15:36Yeah, let's do the more, then.
15:37You've got that right first.
15:38Stop the talk.
15:39Oh, my God.
15:40Breathe.
15:41Breathe.
15:42You're using more than, which means you can now ask if an answer is more than a specific
15:47number.
15:48What number are you going to go with?
15:50You thought it was 25, so she would say 24.
15:52Yeah.
15:53Is it more than 24?
15:54More than 24.
15:55Is the exact answer more than 24, please?
15:58It is more than 24, so the answer is 25 or more.
16:03It definitely sounds good.
16:05God save our gracious King.
16:09Long live our noble King.
16:13God save our King.
16:16Send him victorious.
16:17Happy...
16:18No.
16:19Happy...
16:20And glorious.
16:21Long to reign over us.
16:2220 seconds.
16:23God save the King.
16:2429.
16:2510 seconds.
16:26It was worth singing it again, wasn't it?
16:27Yeah.
16:28Yeah.
16:2929.
16:30Yeah.
16:31Yeah.
16:32Yeah.
16:33Yeah.
16:34Yeah.
16:35Yeah.
16:36Yeah.
16:37Yeah.
16:38Yeah.
16:3929.
16:40Yeah.
16:41You've locked in 29 words.
16:43No, yeah, because I did 10.
16:45Did you go over with 29?
16:48Or are you still in the game?
16:54Needs to light up gold all the way to your answer.
16:56If this turns red, it means you've gone over and it's game over.
16:59Oh, my God.
17:01Through £30,000.
17:03Oh, come on.
17:04It wasn't 28, was it?
17:06No.
17:07Oh.
17:0827.
17:0928.
17:10Oh, my God.
17:11Come on.
17:12Oh!
17:13You're still in the game.
17:14You're still in the game.
17:15Well done.
17:16Right.
17:17Oh, my God.
17:18Oh.
17:19You went through £30,000.
17:20Oh, my God.
17:21Oh, my God.
17:22Oh.
17:23You went through £30,000.
17:25Oh, my God.
17:26Oh.
17:27You went through £30,000.
17:28Oh, my God.
17:29Right.
17:30But £30,000 into your bank account, we need 29 to be an exact answer.
17:37Okay.
17:38Is 29 an exact answer?
17:40Come on.
17:41Come on.
17:42We will find out right after this break.
17:45Oh.
17:46Don't go anywhere.
17:47Oh, my God.
17:48Oh, my God.
17:49Oh, my God.
17:50Oh, my God.
17:52Oh, my God.
17:53Oh, my God.
17:54Oh, my God.
17:55Oh, my God.
17:56Oh, my God.
17:57Oh, my God.
17:58Welcome back.
17:59Telling them to this win.
18:00Very tense here, isn't it?
18:01Very tense moment.
18:02Ricky, what did you just say to me in the commercial break?
18:04It's much easier at home, isn't it?
18:05You've never heard that before, have you?
18:07It is easier watching at home when you're up there and you're counting words.
18:10It's tricky.
18:11The question was, what's the total number of words in the traditional first verse of the
18:17British national anthem?
18:18You're locked in 29.
18:19We know you didn't go over.
18:20Yeah.
18:21Yeah.
18:22You went through £30,000.
18:23So, to put £30,000 into your bank, is 29 an exact answer?
18:33Yes!
18:34Get it!
18:36Come on.
18:37Come on.
18:38Come on.
18:39Come on.
18:40Come on.
18:41Come on.
18:42You did it.
18:43You did it.
18:44You see, you guys can really count.
18:47You're up there one of the best counters I've ever met.
18:49I don't hug for anything less than £30,000 these days.
18:52Oh, God save the king.
18:55You've just won £30,000!
18:57All right, guys.
19:00Thank you, guys.
19:01Come on.
19:02Lovely job.
19:03How does that feel, guys?
19:04Oh, my God.
19:05Yeah?
19:06How have you got a target in mind tonight?
19:08Where would you like to get to on the ladder?
19:09Anything's great.
19:10Don't get me wrong.
19:11But we would like for life-changing sort of money.
19:13Yeah.
19:14We've come here for six figures.
19:15Six figures?
19:16Yeah.
19:17And what would you do with that six figures?
19:18You ask our daughter.
19:19She wants a larger house.
19:20Okay.
19:21How old's your daughter?
19:22She's more.
19:23She wants to get on the property ladder.
19:24You keep telling us, Mummy and Daddy, oh, we just need a larger house.
19:27Your house.
19:28Yeah.
19:29Maybe an extension.
19:30Right, okay.
19:31Renovation.
19:32You could get a little extension for that, couldn't you?
19:33Yeah.
19:3430 grand.
19:35Slightly larger.
19:36Yeah.
19:37Kyla will be thrilled.
19:38She will.
19:39And don't forget, not only have you bank 30 grand, you get five extra lives, which takes
19:42your lives to...
19:4334.
19:44Very good.
19:45God, we're never going to get rid of these two, are we?
19:47And...
19:48What?
19:49She went through a lifeline.
19:50Oh!
19:51Let's see what lifeline you got.
19:52Take two.
19:53Ah!
19:54The dreaded take two.
19:55Ah!
19:56That means the ladder will take two answers, one from you, one from us, and the worst answer
20:00will be rejected.
20:02So, 34 lives to play with, the take two lifeline.
20:06Our next stop is 50 grand, then 75, then we're into the six figures.
20:11All right, let's have a look at the next question.
20:14What number comes after Apollo in the name of the NASA space mission, dramatised in the
20:201995 film starring Tom Hanks?
20:23It's 13.
20:24Are you sure?
20:25Well, this is where we're going to talk ourselves out of it.
20:28No, but you've said 13.
20:30I'm not very good at films.
20:31Like, you love Tom Hanks.
20:32I do like Tom Hanks.
20:33Do you want to dial that in and start there and see?
20:35Yes, yes.
20:3613.
20:37It's not 11.
20:38It's not 11, because 11 is the one that went to the moon, I believe, I think.
20:41Don't quote me on that, but...
20:43Well, that takes us through 75.
20:44That takes us through 75 grand.
20:46Do you think you know this?
20:47I'm...
20:48I'm...
20:4995%.
20:51Are you willing to bank £30,000 on 90%?
20:56See, when you say it like that...
20:58We've got a lifeline there.
21:00I think we should use it.
21:02Well, if you're sure it's 13, why don't we go for it?
21:04No?
21:05Then we've got a lifeline there.
21:06OK.
21:07Should we ask them?
21:08Do you reckon they know?
21:09Yeah, I reckon they might know.
21:10Let's hope they know.
21:11Yeah.
21:12OK, stop the clock.
21:13Stop the clock.
21:14You're using take two, which means the ladder will now take two answers.
21:16One from you, one from us, and the worst answer will be rejected.
21:20Use the dial in front of you to lock in your answer.
21:22Then we have 30 seconds to swap places with you and we'll dial in our answer.
21:27Now, this is the important bit.
21:28Once you've locked in your answer, you can no longer cash out.
21:31Yeah.
21:32OK?
21:33No going back at that point.
21:34OK.
21:35OK, so we're going to go for 13.
21:3613, yeah.
21:37Because that's what you think it is.
21:38OK.
21:39OK.
21:40Right, it's got to be 9, 11 or 13.
21:44I don't think it's more than that, is it?
21:46I think you're bang on.
21:47I think it's bang on.
21:48Indeed.
21:49Just use it.
21:50I think it's bang on.
21:51It's all right.
21:52Why don't we go...
21:53I mean, I think 11 is the one that they lie down the moon.
21:55Was it Apollo 12?
21:56No.
21:57We might as well put it.
21:5912, 11 or 12?
22:01It's 13.
22:02It is 13.
22:03I think you're right.
22:04I'll put 11.
22:05It's OK.
22:06It's OK.
22:07Oh, we get it right.
22:08OK.
22:09Swap back, swap back, swap back.
22:11Swap back.
22:12So he thinks it's 13, you think it's 13.
22:14I think it's 13.
22:1511 was the one that landed on the moon, we think.
22:17Let's see which answer the ladder rejects.
22:21OK.
22:2213.
22:23And we know that's not over.
22:24Otherwise, it would have taken our answer as the lower number.
22:27Yes.
22:28Uh-huh.
22:29So the big question is, for £75,000 into your bank, is 13 an exact answer?
22:37Is that going to be?
22:38Don't.
22:39I'm going to have a heart attack.
22:40It's going to be.
22:41Yeah!
22:42It's going to be.
22:43Come on, two points.
22:44Two points.
22:45Two points.
22:46Win a save, mate.
22:47Yeah!
22:48Yeah!
22:49Yeah!
22:50Yeah!
22:51Yeah!
22:52Yeah!
22:53Yeah!
22:54Yeah!
22:55Yeah!
22:56Man!
22:57Yeah!
22:5875,000 pounds!
23:00£75,000!
23:06I'm thrilled that you used your Take-Two,
23:08because it was something that I really knew for once on this show.
23:11But so did you!
23:12But so did you! So furious!
23:14Oh, God.
23:15How do you feel about that? You've just banked £75,000.
23:17That's actually, like, real money. Yeah.
23:20You can get the loss done as well now.
23:22Yeah!
23:23Oh, Isla's going to be thrilled.
23:25He's going to be so thrilled.
23:26That was your fourth exact answer.
23:28£75,000 now in the bank.
23:30So every question you answer from now,
23:32you're risking that £75,000.
23:33OK.
23:34Just a reminder, cash out button is here if you need it.
23:36But don't forget,
23:38because you've got an exact answer there,
23:40you get another five lives,
23:42taking you now up to...
23:4439 lives to play with.
23:48Your next stop is £100,000.
23:51That's what you had as your target.
23:53We did.
23:54And then £150,000,
23:55then a quarter of a million pounds,
23:57half a million.
23:58I mean, we kind of all laughed a bit
23:59when we looked at that lifeline under a million,
24:01but you never know.
24:02It's not far off now.
24:03It's not far off.
24:04Just keep doing what you're doing.
24:05Let's have the next question.
24:08February 2026 marks how many years
24:10since the food delivery company Deliveroo
24:13was founded in the UK?
24:15Well, definitely since, like, Covid.
24:19So, Covid was in 2020.
24:21Yeah.
24:22So, I think it's got to be at least six years,
24:25because you were able to order during Covid.
24:27Yeah, during Covid, that's one, yeah.
24:29But then working it back from then,
24:31from 2020...
24:33You think it's further back?
24:35I do, but then I don't know how far back.
24:37Yeah, obviously, we don't know how far back.
24:39So, yeah, so six...
24:40Six is a safe answer.
24:41...takes us to 2020.
24:43You can afford to be 39 under the exact answer.
24:47I think it's more than six.
24:49OK, how many more?
24:51Eight, maybe, then?
24:53Are you willing to risk 75 grand?
24:55Yeah, I'm not.
24:57You're not?
24:58No.
24:59I took the lead on the last question,
25:00so you can take the lead on this one, OK?
25:01Right.
25:02But if you're happy with that...
25:03I just think it's safe.
25:04Yeah, we've got the lines.
25:05Let's see the next question.
25:06That's fine.
25:07Yeah? That's fine.
25:08OK.
25:09You've locked in your answer.
25:11You're locked in six.
25:13I mean, we don't think you did,
25:15but we've got to ask it anyway.
25:16Did you go over with six?
25:18Are you still in the game?
25:21I waited, though.
25:22You're still in the game.
25:25Yeah.
25:26So, is six an exact answer?
25:33No.
25:34We didn't think so.
25:35How many lives are they losing?
25:40Oh, God.
25:41Ooh!
25:42Ooh!
25:43Oh!
25:44OK.
25:45You lost seven lives.
25:46The exact answer is 13 years.
25:49That's good.
25:50That's a good, bad one, that.
25:51Yeah, yeah.
25:52We'll take that one.
25:53Good, bad one.
25:54Well done.
25:5575 grand in the bank.
25:56Steal!
25:57Next stop, £100,000 and another lifeline up there as well.
26:01Let's have your next question.
26:02Excluding any separate plinth or base,
26:05the men's FA Cup trophy first awarded at the 2014 final
26:10is how many inches tall?
26:12It was on the spreadsheet!
26:14What?!
26:15It was on the spreadsheet!
26:16And it's definitely over 20.
26:18It's definitely over 20.
26:19It's definitely over 20.
26:20It's definitely over 20.
26:21I know that.
26:22OK, well, dial in 20.
26:23Can you remember the actual number?
26:25And keep talking.
26:26Where does 20 take you?
26:2720...
26:28Mmm...
26:29It takes you through 150 grand and all that.
26:30It's the actual trophy.
26:31They normally have the names and everything.
26:33It's got to be at least that thing.
26:35Did you have inches or centimetres on the spreadsheet?
26:37No, I definitely had in inches.
26:38Are you sure?
26:39Yeah.
26:40You were confident it was over 20.
26:41Yeah, I was, I was.
26:42Let's go over 20.
26:43Yeah?
26:44Yeah.
26:45There's 75 grand as well though.
26:46OK, but that's not helpful, is it?
26:47Wow.
26:48So...
26:49Got to put it in there.
26:5020 seconds to lock in our cash house.
26:51Maybe we should go down a couple...
26:53No, it's definitely over 20.
26:55Like 24, 26 maybe?
26:5810 seconds to lock in our cash house.
27:01She's locking in.
27:02You've locked in 20.
27:0420.
27:05You risked £75,000 by locking in an answer.
27:09Did you go over with 20 or are you still in the game?
27:13Perfect.
27:16Again, this has got to light up gold.
27:18If it turns red, it means you've gone over.
27:20Through a lifeline.
27:21Through £150,000.
27:23Oh, my God.
27:24Come on.
27:2718.
27:28Oh, my God.
27:3119.
27:32Come on!
27:33Come on!
27:36Still in the game.
27:4020 seconds.
27:41Move on over to.
27:42You've gone through £150,000.
27:45OK, OK.
27:46So, for £150,000 into your bank, is 20 inches an exact answer?
27:52No.
27:56It's not.
27:57You thought it was more than 20, didn't you?
27:59Uh-huh.
28:00How much more, though?
28:0724.
28:08You said!
28:09I did!
28:10I wasn't sure if it was 24 or 26.
28:11Shall we have 24 then, shouldn't we?
28:13Yeah.
28:15Let's just confirm the exact answer was.
28:1724 inches.
28:1824 inches!
28:1924 inches!
28:20You knew it as well!
28:21You knew it as well!
28:22I know, I know!
28:23You knew it!
28:24It was on the spreadsheet!
28:25It was on the spreadsheet!
28:26It was on it.
28:27Look, you're still in the game.
28:28You've still got £75,000 in the bank and you went through a lifeline.
28:32OK.
28:33Let's see what lifeline you went through.
28:36Range!
28:37Range!
28:38That means you'll get a range that the exact answer lies within.
28:41Shall we see your next question?
28:42Yes, please!
28:43Come on!
28:45The names of how many countries contain the letter Y?
28:49Yemen.
28:51Contain the letter Y.
28:52Yeah, so Yemen.
28:53Yeah.
28:54They've got one.
28:55Yeah.
28:56Hungary.
28:57Hungary.
28:58Cyprus.
28:59Cyprus.
29:00It's got mine blank.
29:01Uruguay.
29:02Yeah.
29:03That was four.
29:05Paraguay.
29:06Yeah.
29:07You've got your lifeline range.
29:09Ooh!
29:10Ooh, yeah.
29:11Yes.
29:12Shall we use that?
29:13Yeah, yeah.
29:14Press it then.
29:15Stop the clock.
29:16What is the range, please?
29:18Between 13 and 23.
29:21So we know it's got to be a minimum of 13.
29:25Oh, look where that's landed you.
29:27Half a million quid.
29:29Be nice, wouldn't it?
29:3013, 23.
29:31We've got lives.
29:33Can you think of any more?
29:34I'm just trying to think now.
29:35My mind's gone all blank.
29:37Turkey?
29:38Turkey.
29:39Erm...
29:40I literally can't think of any more, but we know 13 is safe.
29:43We've got to be 13, so there's a few more.
29:45But the most it can be more is 10, so we only lose 10 lives.
29:50Yeah.
29:51But at least then we can look at the next question.
29:52Yeah.
29:53Yeah?
29:54Let's just go for 13.
29:55Yeah, I'm happy with that.
29:56Yeah?
29:57Yeah, yeah.
29:58OK.
29:59All right.
30:00You're locked in 13 countries.
30:03We know this isn't over because you went to the bottom of the range.
30:07But for half a million quid into your bank, is it an exact answer?
30:13No.
30:14Not.
30:15Ah.
30:16Ah.
30:17So you're losing lives?
30:18Yes.
30:19But how many lives are you losing?
30:20Five lives?
30:21Five?
30:22That is not bad.
30:23Not bad at all, that, you know.
30:26The exact answer is...
30:2818 countries.
30:29And there they all are.
30:30There they are.
30:31Listen, well done.
30:32That was a very good one.
30:33That was a very good one.
30:47Thank you, Mr. Dillon.
30:49Well done. That was a very good use of your life, Lance.
30:51Thank goodness for range. Thank goodness for range.
30:53That was really, really good. We live to fight another day.
30:56Right, time for a break, but we'll be back in just a few minutes
30:59to see if these two can keep making their way up the Limitless Ladder.
31:03See you back here after this break. See you in a minute.
31:04Welcome back to Limitless Wind.
31:19We're here with husband and wife Manisha and Ricky.
31:22OK, let's take a deep breath.
31:25And let's get back to the game.
31:28You can breathe out.
31:30OK.
31:3175 grand in the bank, 23 lives still to play with.
31:36Our next stop is three quarters of a million.
31:39Come on! Come on!
31:41Might get there with this one and we might just know the answer.
31:43Might just know the answer. Let's have the next question.
31:46In ABBA's competing performance of Waterloo
31:49at the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest,
31:52how many times did they sing the word Waterloo?
31:55Waterloo, I would be the wonderland.
31:59It must be, like, a lot of times.
32:08Like, ten?
32:09No.
32:10It's got to be more than ten, hasn't it?
32:12I've got...
32:13I just don't even know the lyrics,
32:15but they say Waterloo a lot of times.
32:1875 grand at risk on this question,
32:21but it can't be 23 under the exact answer.
32:24Oh, God.
32:26Is it going to be more than 23 times?
32:27I have no idea.
32:29So I can't even hazard a guess.
32:33Like, I reckon it would have to be, like, at least 12,
32:37but then if it's way above that, then we're out.
32:40Yeah, we're out.
32:41That's the only problem.
32:42This isn't the song that I thought would come up.
32:44I don't know what to do.
32:46Are you going to lock in an answer?
32:47Do you want to cash out or do you want to...
32:49No.
32:50No, no, I think we should go this way.
32:5220 seconds left.
32:5220 seconds left.
32:53No idea.
32:54Like, no idea.
32:5615 seconds.
32:57We have no...
32:58It's going to be more than 15.
32:59Yeah, but I'm not willing to...
33:0110 seconds to lock, so make it a lot cash out.
33:03So come over here, because I'm not willing to...
33:06Five seconds to lock, so make it a lot of cash out.
33:09Five seconds to lock, so make it a lot of cash out.
33:12Finisher and Rikki have just cashed out for £75,000!
33:22Wow.
33:22Well done.
33:23Well done.
33:24Well done.
33:2475 grand is yours.
33:27That's hard?
33:27That's your money.
33:28Wow.
33:28That is yours.
33:29You're going away tonight with 75 grand.
33:32That is a lot of money.
33:32A lot of money.
33:33And you played a great game.
33:35You used your lifelines well.
33:36You're a really good couple.
33:38Well done.
33:39What are you going to do with the 75 grand?
33:41A holiday.
33:41A holiday is definitely on the cards.
33:43Yeah.
33:43There will be...
33:44The house project will finally come to life.
33:47Yeah, we'll just have a really good time.
33:50Good.
33:51Well done and well played.
33:52Thank you so much.
33:54We loved playing alongside you.
33:55Thank you so much.
33:56Before you go, shall we find out what the exact answer was?
34:01I mean, you had no idea.
34:02Rikki, what would you have done?
34:03You were looking like you might have stayed there.
34:05Would you have locked 15 in?
34:06Yeah.
34:06So you could have thought to be 23 under?
34:08Yeah.
34:09If you'd locked in 15, let's have a look what would have happened.
34:1420.
34:1420.
34:16See, I would have thought it was so much more.
34:18It's OK.
34:19It doesn't matter.
34:20It's OK.
34:20It wouldn't have been exact anyway.
34:21Yeah.
34:22It wasn't worth the risk.
34:23Our hearts would have stopped.
34:25I'd love to have you on the show.
34:26One more time.
34:27Let's hear it from Anisha and Rikki.
34:41You couldn't have risked it.
34:42You couldn't have risked it on that last one.
34:45Would you?
34:46I wouldn't have risked it.
34:47Would you?
34:47Well, it's easy for me to say it.
34:49You're a big other fan.
34:52Oh, my God.
34:54Oh, my God.
34:56Oh, my God.
34:57I can't believe we did that.
34:59They could have played on.
35:00They could have played on.
35:01Yes.
35:02Would you have played on?
35:04No.
35:05No.
35:08I don't even know what to do.
35:12Oh, it's so much fun.
35:14There's so much money here.
35:15It's life changing for us.
35:16It's life changing.
35:19So, Anisha and Rikki played a cracking game
35:21and they leave here with a life changing £75,000.
35:24They had plenty of courage, plenty of knowledge,
35:27which is the perfect combination here on Limitless Wind.
35:29Right.
35:30Let's meet our next team.
35:32I'm Alistair.
35:35I'm a dentist.
35:36And I'm Ashley.
35:37And I'm a biomedical scientist.
35:38And we are brothers from Wakefield.
35:40We are both competitive.
35:43Incredibly stubborn.
35:44No, I'm not.
35:45Five university degrees, so that might help.
35:49I don't think that's going to make one bit of difference.
35:51No, it's not going to make a difference.
35:53Our dad was always a big fan of the show.
35:56Unfortunately, we lost him recently.
35:58We decided to apply and hopefully win some money in his memory.
36:03It would be great to take Mum away and hold the promise we made,
36:07which was to look after her.
36:08Yeah, yeah.
36:09All right, I'm going to smash it up.
36:10Thanks, sir.
36:11It's a dad, eh?
36:12It's a dad.
36:14It's Ashley and Alistair!
36:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
36:17Oh, Ashley, Alistair, welcome to the show.
36:31Now, Ashley, you're a biomedical scientist.
36:34Yep.
36:34Alistair, a dentist with five university degrees.
36:38Ooh!
36:39What?
36:40You might just be the cleverest team we've ever had here on Limitless Win.
36:43Do you think you're...
36:45LAUGHTER
36:46You don't agree.
36:47It sounds great, yeah, but...
36:49Basically, all I really need to do is count to 32 in my job.
36:53Yeah.
36:53Yeah, OK.
36:54And sometimes I have to take my shoes and socks off for that.
36:56Yeah.
36:57Oh, we've had contestants do that on the show before, so that's fine.
37:00Listen, good luck tonight.
37:01We're all hoping you win some big money.
37:03Now, to face the Limitless Ladder, you need to win some lives.
37:06You do that by answering as many questions as you can in 60 seconds.
37:10Every correct answer you give earns you five lives.
37:12Are you ready?
37:13Yeah, ready.
37:14OK, your time starts now.
37:16Alistair, the two digits used in the binary number system are zero and which other?
37:22One.
37:22Correct.
37:23Ashley, within a single calendar year, how many months come after April?
37:31Eight.
37:31Correct.
37:32Alistair, how many ghost characters are there in the original Pac-Man video game?
37:37Four.
37:38Correct.
37:38Ashley, a round in a men's professional boxing match usually lasts for how many seconds?
37:45Twelve.
37:46180.
37:47To the nearest hundred, how many years ago was the Mona Lisa painted?
37:53A hundred.
37:54Five hundred.
37:54In the title of the classic children's story about a big bad wolf trying to blow down their houses,
37:59how many little pigs are there?
38:01Three.
38:01Correct.
38:02Alistair, on the Fahrenheit temperature scale, the normal boiling point of water is how many degrees?
38:08A hundred.
38:10212.
38:11The 2024 Paris Summer Olympics took place how many years after the city last hosted the Games?
38:16Ten.
38:18Time up.
38:19A hundred years.
38:20Wow.
38:21But well done.
38:22Four correct answers gives you 20 lives.
38:25And you can now take on the Liberless Ladder.
38:29There she is looking lovely.
38:36Remember, there are, of course, four lifelines available to you tonight.
38:40So let's shuffle up those lifelines and put them onto the ladder.
38:46So we can see where they are on the ladder, but we don't know which one is which until we get to it.
38:52Good luck to you both.
38:53Let's see your first question.
38:56What is the total if the three digits of the UK's emergency services telephone number introduced in 1937 are added together?
39:069, 18, 27.
39:08Yeah.
39:09Let's start dialing.
39:10Yeah, move it.
39:10Oh, that's going to take you up the ladder, isn't it?
39:1227 spots.
39:13Come on, get up there.
39:16Through two and a half grand.
39:17It's 999.
39:19999.
39:19It's not 911.
39:20No.
39:21999.
39:229, 18, 27.
39:25It's 27.
39:26Yeah, lock it in.
39:26Yeah.
39:27Yeah, lock it in.
39:29You've locked in 27.
39:32Did you go over with 27?
39:34Oh, you're still in the game.
39:35Remember, this has to light up all the way to your answer.
39:40If it turns red, it means you've gone over, and it's game over.
39:45Don't slow down.
39:46Don't slow down.
39:47Come on.
39:4726, 27.
39:48Come on.
39:50You're still in the game.
39:51So for two and a half grand straight into your bank with your first question,
39:54is 27 an exact answer?
39:58Yes, it is.
39:59Yes, it is.
40:01You're all right.
40:03Come on.
40:03Well done.
40:06And for you.
40:08Well done.
40:09You've just banked £2,500.
40:12Let's get that in here, Brian.
40:14There you go.
40:16You've got even more good yous, because you've got an exact answer.
40:19You also get five extra lives.
40:21Taking you up to...
40:22You have now got 25 lives.
40:24Well done.
40:25You also went through a lifeline.
40:28Let's see which lifeline you got.
40:31More than.
40:32Okay.
40:32Just keep playing the game you're playing.
40:34You're doing very well so far.
40:35Right.

41:14Welcome back to Limitless Win.
41:25We're here with brothers Ashley and Alistair.
41:27And they're here with Anton Tech.
41:29Now we've cleared that up, let's get straight back to business, shall we?
41:32So, we've got £2,500 at the bank, 25 lives, and the more-than lifeline.
41:39Come on, let's have another question, shall we?
41:41Let's go, yeah.
41:43How wide are the front covers of standard paperback Mr Men books to the nearest centimetre?
41:50They were small.
41:51They're like little squares, aren't they?
41:53It's not... I think 10 centimetres seems like a safe answer.
41:57I think 10's safe.
41:58Do you think 12?
41:59It's... They're possibly 15.
42:03Did you have them?
42:04Yeah, I had a lot.
42:05He liked his little miss, but I liked him.
42:09I think we'd... Let's dial in 10 to start with.
42:12Do you want to use a lifeline?
42:14The next one isn't far away.
42:15OK, yeah, that's a good idea.
42:17So, is it more than...
42:1812?
42:19Is it more than 12?
42:20Yeah.
42:20Yeah?
42:21Then I'm happy to go maybe 10 if it says no.
42:23Yeah.
42:23Yeah?
42:23Yeah, lifeline.
42:24OK, lifeline.
42:25OK!
42:26Stop the clock.
42:27What number do you want to go with?
42:2812.
42:29Is it more than 12?
42:30Is it more than 12, please?
42:33It's more than 12.
42:3513.
42:3513 is a safe answer.
42:37We've got a decent amount of lives.
42:39I don't want to...
42:40Yeah.
42:41Yeah.
42:41I think just...
42:42Lock it in?
42:42Lock it in.
42:43Yeah.
42:45It's good.
42:45They chat well together.
42:47You do.
42:48We'll see how that goes.
42:50It's early on.
42:51It's good.
42:51Oh, OK.
42:52I was going to say, for brothers, you're not arguing a lot.
42:54I just went now.
42:56OK, that'll come.
42:56You've locked in 13.
42:59That's taken you on to £10,000.
43:02Now, we know you can't be over because you used your lifeline.
43:07But has it helped you get an exact answer?
43:11Let's find out.
43:11It's not exact.
43:19Well, you're losing lives.
43:20Yeah.
43:20Hopefully not too many.
43:22Yeah.
43:26Oh, what?
43:28Libulous win!
43:29Libulous win!
43:30The exact answer is...
43:3414 centimetres.
43:36Better one under than one over.
43:38Yeah.
43:38Isn't it?
43:39And it is taking you up the ladder.
43:41Let's have a look at your next question.
43:42When someone buys a TV licence for the first time, it is usually valid for up to how many months?
43:50When we were at university...
43:51Oh, here you go.
43:52There's a tale to be told.
43:53Do you remember that?
43:54Oh, yeah.
43:55I'm not incriminating.
43:56I'm pretty certain.
43:58Is it not just 12 months?
43:59I bought one when I moved in a year ago.
44:03I'm sure it's 12 months.
44:04Did you read the letter that came with it?
44:06No.
44:06Let's just pull 12 in.
44:08Let's start dialing it in.
44:09Start by dialing 12 in.
44:10Let's see where that takes you.
44:12Tell you where it takes you.
44:12It takes you through 20K.
44:14Well, I can't see it.
44:15It's not going to be 10, is it?
44:16It's not going to be less than a year.
44:18That's just unfair, that.
44:20Yeah, well, I've been in my property over a year and I haven't had a reminder.
44:25Keep your head down.
44:26Good job you're not on telly right now.
44:29Right, go 12.
44:32You lock this one in.
44:34Go 12, yeah.
44:36You're locking it in.
44:37See, the good thing is, about you locking in this early, is you don't give yourselves time to doubt yourselves.
44:43Yeah.
44:43You've locked in 12 months, one calendar year.
44:47Did you go over or are you still in the game?
44:50One more.
45:03Yes.
45:03Still in the game.
45:04Good.
45:05And you went through £20,000.
45:07So, for £20,000 into your bank, is 12 an exact answer?
45:13Yeah!
45:17CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
45:19Very good.
45:23Well done.
45:24Very good.
45:25Congratulations, Ashley and Alistair.
45:27You've just banked £20,000.
45:30CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
45:31Oh, that feels good, right?
45:34Yeah.
45:35Proper chunky money there now, isn't it?
45:37And don't forget, what else has happened?
45:39Five more lives.
45:40Five more lives taking you up to 29 lives.
45:44Looking good.
45:45Absolutely brilliant.
45:46And you went through another lifeline.
45:49Let's see which one you got.
45:52Range.
45:53Yeah.
45:55Can we tempt you with another question?
45:56Please do.
45:57Oh, please do.
45:58Yes, sir.
45:59Please do.
45:59Here it is.
46:01Oh!
46:02Maybe not, because that noise means it's the end of the show.
46:05So, join us next time to see how far Ashley and Alistair can climb the Limitless Ladder.
46:11Thanks for watching.
46:11See you next time.
46:12Good night, guys!
46:13CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
46:14This next question might be the one.
46:19One, one, one, one.
46:22Stop!
46:23Stop!
46:23No, no.
46:24Oh, I didn't expect that.
46:26Yeah!
46:26Yes!
46:44This next question might be the one.
46:45This next question might be the one.
