00:00Thank you so much. Thank you.
00:25Hello and welcome to Millionaire Hot Seat.
00:29It's like who wants to be a millionaire,
00:32but the six contestants are on their own and against the clock.
00:36Let's meet them. They are...
00:39Will Bell from Oxford.
00:42Kim Reynolds from Brighton.
00:45Luke Fletcher from Aberdeen.
00:48Jay Horton from Hawley.
00:51Daisy Kilby from Birmingham.
00:54And Veronica Wendt from Essex.
00:57Now, before the show, there was a random draw
01:00to see who goes in the hot seat first.
01:03And the winner of that was Will Bell.
01:06Well done, Will.
01:11Didn't need your fast fingers.
01:13Just the luck of the draw.
01:15Right.
01:16Welcome your Will Bell, an analyst team leader from Otford,
01:20wherever that is.
01:21In Kent.
01:22In Kent. There we are.
01:24Now then, a couple of things I ought to talk you through, rules-wise,
01:28before we begin.
01:29OK.
01:3015 questions, get them all right, you win a million pounds.
01:32Easy.
01:33That's the easy bit.
01:34There are a couple of changes, though, from the old show.
01:37First of all, if you're not sure about what the answer is, you can pass.
01:42If you do that, you go to the back of the queue, all right?
01:46Next contestant takes your place, but that is your pass used up.
01:50You can't use it again.
01:51Yes.
01:52Now, if you get the answer wrong, two things happen.
01:56Number one, the top rung from the ladder goes.
01:59The prize money shrinks.
02:01OK?
02:02And the second thing that happens is, you go home.
02:05Better to pass than really than get it wrong.
02:08OK, so are you ready?
02:11Ready as I'll ever be.
02:12We'll pick all the rest of it up as we go along.
02:14Don't worry about it.
02:15OK, well, let's play Millionaire Hot Seats.
02:18So, best of luck, Will.
02:24You've got 15 seconds to answer this question, OK?
02:27For £100.
02:28Here we go.
02:31Which of these terms is written on the top left corner key
02:36of a typical QWERTY keyboard?
02:39ALT, ENTER, CAPS, or ESC?
02:45Well, I'm pretty sure that this is escape,
02:50so I'm going to go for ESC.
02:52Final answer, please.
02:54Well done.
02:55That is the correct answer.
02:56That's £100.
02:59Now things get trickier.
03:02This is for £200.
03:05A bee's knees cocktail typically contains which of these ingredients?
03:11Honey, chocolate, marmalade, yoghurt.
03:17Well, I don't think I've ever had one of these.
03:23But I'm hoping it's not a trick question.
03:26So I'm going to say, honey, final answer.
03:29And the correct answer.
03:32Yeah.
03:33That was quite an easy one, I think.
03:36Anyone else care?
03:37You all would have got honey?
03:38Yeah, I would have got honey.
03:40Right, this one's worth £300.
03:45Which of these was a campaign launched by the British government
03:49during World War II?
03:51Stop, Look, Listen, Think, Dig for Victory, Keep Britain Tidy,
03:58or Charlie Says?
04:01Well, I think this is all to do with shortages of food, rationing, etc.
04:06So that is dig for victory.
04:08Final answer, please.
04:09And the correct answer.
04:11Well done, £300.
04:12OK, now this is for £500.
04:19In a limerick, which of these pairs of lines would typically rhyme with each other?
04:261st and 3rd, 2nd and 4th, 3rd and 5th, or 1st and 5th?
04:43Well, I think I do know this one, but I'm going to use my pass at this point.
04:53Is that strategic?
04:55It's a little bit of, I don't want to get it wrong and look silly,
04:57and it's a little bit, maybe, let's...
04:59Cos I'm just thinking, if you go back there now,
05:02there's a greater chance of you being back in that chair before the game ends.
05:07That's a theory.
05:08I think he does know he's strategically passing, but whatever.
05:12If you'd like to take your seat over there then, please,
05:15and we'll bring out the next contestant.
05:17APPLAUSE
05:22So, Kim Reynolds, Marketing Manager from Brighton, welcome.
05:26Thank you, Jeremy.
05:27Best of luck.
05:28Now then, here's another rule, which I didn't explain before.
05:32You now can't pass.
05:34If somebody before you's passed, you have to answer this, OK?
05:38So, let me remind you of the question.
05:40In a limerick, which of these pairs of lines would typically rhyme with each other?
05:44Right.
05:45Well, I am thinking it is first and fifth,
05:49and obviously you can sort of brain freeze in these sort of situations.
05:53So, I...
05:54And I can't pass.
05:55So, I think I'm going to...
05:57Quickly.
05:58...say first and fifth, final answer.
05:59You nearly ran out of time there.
06:03But you made it with one second to go, and that is the correct answer.
06:06Well done.
06:07APPLAUSE
06:09Yeah, so the pattern is A-A-B-B-A,
06:12so the first, second and fifth lines rhyme with each other.
06:16Okey-doke.
06:17Now, this is for £1,000.
06:21The son of actor Denise Welsh, Matty Healey,
06:25is the front man of which band?
06:28The 1975,
06:31Franz Ferdinand,
06:33Coldplay,
06:35or The Killers?
06:37So, I'm not going to waffle on now
06:39and say that it's definitely the 1975 final answer.
06:44You seem very confident.
06:46Yeah.
06:47And you were right to be confident,
06:48because that is the correct answer.
06:50APPLAUSE
06:51That is £1,000.
06:53So, well done you.
06:55Now then, £2,000 question coming up,
06:58and you might imagine the time gets less.
07:01It doesn't, because the questions get harder.
07:04You get longer.
07:05You get 30 seconds.
07:06Right.
07:07Still not a long time, but it's longer.
07:09So, this is for £2,000.
07:14Which of these pairs of letters is not used as an abbreviation for a playing position in netball?
07:21WD,
07:23CK,
07:24GS,
07:25WA.
07:26I used to be WD in my school team, wing defence.
07:32So, GS is goal shooter or goal scorer, WA is wing attack.
07:37So, the answer that is not used is CK, final answer.
07:44Correct answer.
07:45Well done, £2,000.
07:49Right.
07:50Now, it's a £3,000 question.
07:52Again, 30 seconds to answer it.
07:56When referring to the food stuff, what is quinoa?
08:01Seed, legume, nut or fungus?
08:08I've eaten it, and I'm...
08:11I think I know what the answer is, but I'm a bit 50...
08:15I would have used 50-50 in the old school.
08:18So, when referring to the food stuff, what is quinoa?
08:22Seed, legume, nut, fungus.
08:25So, I'm going to pass, please, Gerry.
08:30That was a surprise at the last minute, but okay, fair enough.
08:33If you'd like to take your seat over there, and let's bring out the next contestant, please.
08:37APPLAUSE
08:44We've had time to think about this, of course, which helps, I'm sure.
08:47But, um, welcome anyway.
08:49Luke Fletcher, Health and Safety Inspector.
08:51Mmm, my favourite people.
08:54From Aberdeen.
08:56Despite your job, I wish you all the very best.
08:59I'll read out the question for you.
09:01When referring to the food stuff, what is quinoa?
09:04I'm really not sure.
09:08I'm thinking it's between A and B, a seed or a legume.
09:11I've eaten it.
09:12It's kind of soft.
09:13It has got, like, a shell around it.
09:16I think of seeds as being hard.
09:19But I really don't.
09:2015 seconds.
09:21I really don't, no.
09:22And you can't pass.
09:23I'm trying to think, have I ever seen one sprout a root?
09:26Maybe it's a fungus.
09:29Five seconds.
09:30We'll not see how.
09:31I'm going to have to go Le Green, B, final answer.
09:35Only one second left.
09:38But the wrong answer.
09:40Oh, and you've come all the way from Aberdeen.
09:43I'm so sorry.
09:44The correct answer is, in fact, it's a seed.
09:48So, I'm sorry.
09:49We must now say goodbye and bring out the next contestant, please.
09:53See you, Luke.
09:54APPLAUSE
09:58Right.
10:00You're Jay Horton, sales manager from Hawley.
10:03I am, yeah.
10:04One bit of bad news.
10:05Well, actually, it's weird, isn't it?
10:06Because, obviously, you're happy he's gone,
10:08because you're now in the chair.
10:09But, because he's gone, we've lost the million-pound prize.
10:13That is a shame.
10:14Yeah.
10:15So, you're happy and sad simultaneously.
10:18We're down to £250,000 now.
10:20But it's still a chunk of change,
10:22and you're only eight questions away from it.
10:24Let's do it.
10:25I wish you all the very best.
10:27This is your question for £3,000.
10:30Which of these Arnold Schwarzenegger lines is from the 1987 film Predator?
10:38Put that cookie down.
10:40Get to the chopper.
10:42I'll be back.
10:44Or hasta la vista, baby.
10:47Well, that film was a stalwart of my childhood.
10:51I've probably watched it as many times as I've watched any film.
10:55So, that's Get to the Chopper, B, final answer.
11:00And a correct answer.
11:06I'm interested in your childhood.
11:08Uh, yeah.
11:09I used to have to watch Tom and Jerry and Ring of Bright Water.
11:12Different times, Jeremy.
11:13Yeah, through a different childhood, evidently.
11:15Yeah, different times.
11:16Anyway, I'm afraid we've got to stop talking now,
11:18because we have to take a break.
11:20We're back in a few moments.
11:21See you then.
11:30Welcome back to Millionaire Hot Seat.
11:36We're joined in the hot seat at the moment by Vin Diesel.
11:40Um, he does look incredibly like Vin Diesel.
11:44Although he goes by the name of Jay Horton.
11:47Right, top prize now, £250,000.
11:50All right.
11:51This next question is for £5,000.
11:53OK.
11:54Here it comes.
11:5530 seconds to answer it.
11:56Which of these people is depicted in the Bayer Tapestry?
12:01Eleanor of Aquitaine, Edward the Confessor, Genghis Khan or Cleopatra?
12:13Right.
12:14So it's not Cleopatra.
12:16It's during the, um, Anglo-Saxon times.
12:22Uh, and so I'm going to say, rightly or wrongly, B, Edward the Confessor.
12:28Final answer.
12:29Nice work, Vin.
12:32That is the correct answer.
12:33Well done.
12:34But actually, it's the events leading up to the Norman Conquest.
12:40Yeah.
12:41Yeah, exactly right.
12:42So, this is for £7,500.
12:45Still 30 seconds to answer it.
12:47Let's have a look at the question.
12:49Of these letters, which starts the names of the fewest number of countries?
12:56F, Z, J or H?
13:08Hmm.
13:09It's a difficult question.
13:12I'm, er...
13:1315 seconds.
13:14Risk it for a biscuit.
13:15And I'm going to say, H, final answer.
13:18I'm afraid that is the wrong answer.
13:28You were doing very well, um, but not then.
13:33Um, there's three with H.
13:35Haiti, Honduras and Hungary.
13:36Hmm.
13:37How many did you have?
13:38Er, two.
13:39Two, okay.
13:40I got two with Z, which is, the answer actually is Z.
13:43Right.
13:44Zambia and Zimbabwe, that's daughter of each other.
13:46Fiji, Finland and France, Jamaica, Japan and Jordan.
13:50Okay.
13:51Well, I'm really sorry about that, Jay.
13:52No, it's been a pleasure.
13:53But it does mean, A, we lose the £250,000 top prize.
13:57Sorry about that, everybody.
13:58And B, we have to say goodbye to you, ladies and gentlemen.
14:01Jay Horton.
14:05Next contestant.
14:06There we are.
14:07Welcome, you're Daisy Kilby, a cyber security analyst.
14:12Yes.
14:13From Birmingham.
14:14Um, new question for you, which means you do have a pass available.
14:18Oh, my God.
14:19Um, top prize now, £100,000.
14:23Still pretty good.
14:24Yeah, still a lot of money.
14:26Righty-ho, here is your question.
14:30Which of these classic books features a pig called Gub Gub?
14:35The Sheep Pig?
14:37Charlotte's Web?
14:39Animal Farm?
14:40Or the story of Dr Doolittle?
14:44I haven't got a clue, so I'm just going to pass.
14:50Brief time in the chair, barely warmed it up.
14:52Well, OK, if you'd like to go and warm that one up now,
14:54and let's bring out the final contestant.
15:01Hello.
15:02Hello, Jeremy.
15:03Hello, Veronica Wint, recruitment manager from Essex.
15:06I am indeed.
15:07Very good luck.
15:08You can't pass on this.
15:10I know.
15:11Which is a bit stressy, I'm sure.
15:13Let me read the question for you again.
15:15Which of these classic books features a pig called Gub Gub?
15:20Right.
15:21Fitting not a vegetarian, we'll get the question on a pig.
15:24So, Stab in the Dark, Charlotte's Web, final answer.
15:29I'm afraid that's the wrong answer.
15:30OK.
15:31Oh, dear.
15:32No, I'm really sorry about that.
15:34The correct answer is the story of Dr Doolittle.
15:39The pigs in the other books, the sheep pig is Babe.
15:44Yeah.
15:45Charlotte's Web is Wilbur.
15:47Animal Farm is Napoleon, Snowball, Old Major and Squealer.
15:50Right.
15:51So, I'm really sorry about that, but I'm afraid, Veronica,
15:56we've got to say goodbye.
15:57Bye.
15:58Ladies and gentlemen, Veronica Wint.
15:59Bye-bye.
16:02We can bring out Will again.
16:07Right now, Will, welcome back.
16:10You left us when the ladder was on £500.
16:13It's currently on £5,000.
16:15Yeah.
16:16Top prize is now £50,000 because of that incorrect answer.
16:20You're only four questions away from it.
16:23Shall we have a look at the £7,500 question?
16:26And remember, you can't pass.
16:28OK.
16:29Because you've already used it.
16:30Yeah.
16:31Which metal has the highest melting point?
16:35Tungsten, gold, mercury or sodium?
16:42So, mercury is liquid at room temperature.
16:46Sodium, I don't think it's sodium.
16:50I do think gold has quite a high melting point
16:53because it's used in wire and various other electrical things.
16:59I think it could be tungsten, though.
17:02So, it's a bit...
17:04I think, without a pass, I'm going to have to say,
17:06tungsten, final answer.
17:10You had to say something.
17:11You only had three seconds left.
17:14And you are correct.
17:15Tungsten is the right answer.
17:20This is now the £10,000 question.
17:23Let's have a look at it, shall we?
17:25Remember, again, you can't pass.
17:27Which of these best song Oscar winners
17:32has the same title as the film it comes from?
17:36City of Stars, Lose Yourself, Moon River or The Way We Were?
17:44Definitely not my strongest area, films or music, which is problematic.
17:55Which of these best song Oscar winners?
17:58I'm looking at B.
18:04Ten seconds.
18:05I don't know the others.
18:06I don't know if Eminem did get an Oscar for this,
18:09but the film is called this.
18:11No, it's not, it's called something else.
18:12Quick, please.
18:13I'm going to say City of Stars.
18:14It's a complete guess.
18:16Ooh, I'm going to take that as your final answer.
18:20That was right on the button.
18:24Incorrect, I'm afraid.
18:26Really sorry.
18:27The correct answer is The Way We Were.
18:30OK.
18:31City of Stars is from La La Land.
18:33Lose Yourself is Eight Mile.
18:34Eight Mile, yeah.
18:35Eminem, as you say.
18:36Moon River, a breakfast at Tiffany's.
18:40I'm really sorry about that, but there we are.
18:43You were a good player.
18:45Ladies and gentlemen, Will Bell, thank you.
18:47APPLAUSE
18:49Right.
18:52Welcome back.
18:53Thank you, Jeremy.
18:54Top prize is now just £20,000.
18:57That's a lot of money.
18:58Yes, it is.
18:59It's worth playing for.
19:00You're only two questions away from me.
19:01You get two right, you're there.
19:03So, Kim Reynolds, you passed on £3,000.
19:06Here we are at £7,500.
19:08This is for £10,000.
19:12In the measuring of geological time,
19:15which of these timescales is the longest?
19:18Epoch?
19:19Period?
19:20Eon?
19:21Or era?
19:23Phew.
19:24OK, well, longest.
19:26Epoch?
19:27Epochal?
19:28Eon?
19:29Don't really know what that is.
19:30Period?
19:31I would think it's smaller.
19:32And era, isn't it?
19:34I am not sure.
19:37And so my initial reaction is to go for Epoch,
19:41because it's sort of colloquial.
19:43You would say that as a long-time Epoch final answer.
19:49Oh, no!
19:50Wrong, I'm afraid.
19:51Never mind.
19:52Never mind.
19:53It's an Eon, which is around one billion years.
19:57Era, hundreds of millions of years.
19:59Period, tens to hundreds of millions of years.
20:02Epoch, I'm afraid, five minutes.
20:05Oh!
20:06No, it's tens of millions of years,
20:07but it is the shortest, in fact.
20:08Oh, gosh, yeah.
20:09Well, I'm really sorry about that.
20:12Ladies and gentlemen, Kim Reynolds.
20:13Sorry, Kim.
20:15We can now bring back Daisy Kilby.
20:19Hello.
20:20This is a remarkable game.
20:22Yeah.
20:23Because you sat there for two seconds earlier,
20:25passed on the only question we're asking.
20:26I've really not earned it, no.
20:28Yeah, you have definitely not earned your place
20:31as the only remaining contestant.
20:34Facing a question worth £10,000, you can't pass.
20:39So let me explain how this works, OK?
20:41This is the final question.
20:43If you get it right, you get £10,000.
20:46If you get it wrong, because we're generous souls,
20:50we'll give you £1,000.
20:52So it's either £10,000 or £1,000.
20:55Better than I came in with, so...
20:57Oh, yeah.
20:58...either way.
20:59This is your question.
21:00£10,000.
21:04In British pre-decimal coinage,
21:06which of these coins had the highest face value?
21:10Shilling?
21:12Farthing?
21:13Sixpence?
21:15Or crown?
21:17OK.
21:18I'm trying to think back to, like, history class.
21:20The only thing that's coming to mind is a penny farthing,
21:22which is a bike, so it's not helpful.
21:25I haven't got a clue at all,
21:27so this is going to be a complete stab in the dark.
21:30But a crown sounds like it'd be expensive,
21:33because it's a crown.
21:35But then is that not right?
21:37Is it sixpence?
21:38Is it shilling?
21:41I'm going to go for crown, final answer.
21:43Percy Kilby, you are the luckiest human being alive.
21:51No.
21:52You've known nothing.
21:55And you are leaving here with ten...
21:58Unbelievable.
21:59Unbelievable.
22:00Unbelievable.
22:01Crown is the correct answer.
22:02It's five shillings.
22:03OK, a shilling was twelve pennies.
22:04Sixpence was six pennies.
