00:00MUSIC
00:25Thank you so much. Hello and welcome to Millionaire Hot Seats.
00:29We have six players and one million pounds to give away.
00:33But unlike who wants to be a millionaire,
00:36it all comes down to speed and a little bit of luck.
00:40Let's meet tonight's players.
00:42They are...
00:44Neil Dinsdale from Harrogate.
00:46Lily McGee from Bath.
00:49Vikesh Advani from St Albans.
00:52Matt Whiteman from Nottingham.
00:55Tanya Biggs from Lysgaard.
00:58And Lynne Murray from Glasgow.
01:03Now, before the show, there was a random draw
01:05to see who goes in the hot seat first.
01:09And the winner of that was...
01:11Neil Dinsdale!
01:13So, Neil...
01:15Help yourself to the hot seat.
01:17Please, I'm going to sit over here.
01:19And we shall get cracking.
01:22Right, you're Neil Dinsdale, a chemistry teacher from Harrogate.
01:25Welcome.
01:26Thank you very much.
01:27I ought to talk you through one or two of the rules
01:30before we get cracking though.
01:31There are 15 questions.
01:33Get them all right, you win a million pounds.
01:35Now, unlike the normal who wants to be a millionaire,
01:38there are no lifelines.
01:40But, you can pass.
01:42But you can only do that once.
01:44OK?
01:45If you get a question wrong...
01:48Bad things happen.
01:50Don't get a question wrong.
01:52If you're worried at home about it,
01:54you don't know what's going on,
01:55don't worry, you'll pick it up as we go along.
01:57I promise you.
01:58Let's play Millionaire Hot Seat.
02:00APPLAUSE
02:06Right.
02:07For these first few questions,
02:09you have 15 seconds to answer them.
02:12This is for £100.
02:18Which of these occasions typically takes place
02:21after a wedding is held?
02:25Engagement party?
02:26Stag do?
02:28Honeymoon?
02:29Or bridal shower?
02:32I'm going to jump straight in with that one
02:34and say the answer is C.
02:36Honeymoon.
02:37Final answer.
02:38And, of course, the right answer.
02:42See?
02:43It's easy.
02:45Honestly, it's easy.
02:46This one is for £200.
02:51Which of these captains is a main character
02:54in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series?
02:58Captain Sparrow?
03:00Captain Picard?
03:02Captain Corelli?
03:04Or Captain Haddock?
03:07OK.
03:09Again, I'm feeling reasonably confident with this one.
03:12I think I know where at least a couple of the others are coming from.
03:15So I'm going to say the answer is A, Captain Sparrow.
03:18Captain Sparrow?
03:19Final answer.
03:20And with two seconds remaining, that is the correct answer.
03:24Well done.
03:25Right, this is for £300.
03:30Which of these landmarks is located in the capital of Italy?
03:37Dolomites?
03:38The Fitzy Gallery?
03:39The Colosseum?
03:40Or Pompeii?
03:41OK.
03:42Well, I'm planning a holiday to Italy and Rome next year,
03:44and I am hoping to see the Colosseum.
03:45So, Colosseum, final answer.
03:46And the correct answer.
03:47Well done.
03:48Right.
03:49So this is for £500.
03:50Which of these is not one of the seven deadly sins?
03:53Gluttony?
03:54Temperance?
03:55Envy?
03:56Or pride?
03:57Oh, OK.
03:58So, I've seen the film, so I'm going to see the Colosseum.
04:00And the correct answer.
04:01Well done.
04:02Right.
04:03So this is for £500.
04:07Which of these is not one of the seven deadly sins?
04:12Gluttony?
04:13Temperance?
04:14Envy?
04:15Or pride?
04:18Oh, OK.
04:20So, I've seen the film Seven, and so I'm going to have a crack at this one.
04:26I'm going to say temperance.
04:29Final answer.
04:31I'm not sure temperance is a sin.
04:34You're right, of course.
04:35So that is £500.
04:37Yeah.
04:40So this is for £1,000.
04:43In 2025, which football club won the men's FA Cup for the first time?
04:54Manchester United, Liverpool, Fulham or Crystal Palace?
05:00Again, I'll answer this one.
05:05I think there was some argument about the European competition they could go into.
05:10The answer is Crystal Palace.
05:12Final answer.
05:14Correct answer.
05:15And you're right, there was.
05:17There was a bit of argy-bargy, wasn't there?
05:20Right, now, this is for £2,000.
05:22And because the questions now get a little bit harder, you get longer to answer them.
05:2730 seconds, OK?
05:28OK.
05:29And this is your question.
05:32Which of these classic British sitcoms stars five leading actors whose first names all begin with the letter J?
05:41Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses, Absolutely Fabulous or The Vicar of Dibley?
05:54OK, I've got a reasonable idea on this one, but I don't think I'm willing to risk it and commit at this point.
06:03I'm hoping that if I use a pass now that I'll have a chance to get back round into this seat at some point.
06:10So, I think the safest thing for me to do is to use the pass.
06:16Okey-doke.
06:17If you'd like to go now to the back of the queue, which is what happens when you pass,
06:21and we shall bring out our next contestant.
06:27Hello.
06:28Hi there, you're Millie McGee, great name, yoga teacher from Bath, welcome.
06:33You have 30 seconds to answer, you can't pass, because we've just had a pass.
06:37You, I'm afraid, have to answer this, whether you like it or not.
06:41This is the question.
06:43Which of these classic British sitcoms stars five leading actors whose first names all begin with the letter J?
06:53OK, so I know it's not only Fools and Horses, because I know David, Jason's in it, and that's a D.
06:58The Vicar of Dibley's Dawn French.
07:02And now, I don't know, I think it's Joanna Lumley in Absolutely Fabulous and it's John Cleese in Fawlty Towers,
07:07and I don't know anyone else.
07:09Um...
07:11Um...
07:13Um...
07:15Five seconds.
07:16Joanna...
07:17I'm gonna go...
07:18Oh, God.
07:19Three.
07:20I'm gonna go Absolutely Fabulous, final answer.
07:24That was the very definition of panic.
07:27Thanks.
07:28Yeah.
07:29But it worked, it's the right answer!
07:30Oh, God!
07:32Oh, God.
07:34Yeah.
07:35Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley, Julia Swahala, Jane Horrocks and June Whitfield.
07:40Um, so, your pass now becomes available to you.
07:44This question for £3,000.
07:46Which of these plants is classed as a succulent?
07:53Aloe vera?
07:55Boston fern?
07:57Fiddle leaf fig?
07:59Or spider plant?
08:01Okay, so, heads up, I know the answer.
08:04Um, I know it's not Boston fern, little leafy thing.
08:08Same with the fiddle leaf fig, spider plant, all leafy, thin leaves.
08:11Aloe vera, they're, like, juicy inside, so they're very succulent.
08:14So, it's aloe vera, final answer.
08:17If I've got this wrong, it'll be so embarrassing.
08:19It would be, er...
08:20I know the answer.
08:21But you do know the answer, it's correct.
08:23Well done, yes, it is.
08:24Aloe vera.
08:27Right, this is for £5,000.
08:29Here comes the question.
08:32Which of these advertising slogans was introduced most recently?
08:37Tesco, every little helps.
08:41Nike, just do it.
08:44McDonald's, I'm loving it.
08:47L'Oreal, because I'm worth it.
08:52Um...
08:55I don't know.
09:01I am gonna pass.
09:04I'm sorry.
09:05No thinking out loud to help me.
09:07Sorry about that.
09:08Next contestant there.
09:10But for now, Millie, take your seat at the end of the queue.
09:14Keep your fingers crossed.
09:15You come back later.
09:19Right.
09:20Welcome, Rick Eshedvani, business owner from St Albans.
09:24Right, now, here's the situation.
09:26You can't pass, I'm afraid, on this.
09:28You're gonna have to answer it, whether you like it or not.
09:30This is the question.
09:31Which of these advertising slogans was introduced most recently?
09:38It's unfortunate.
09:39I've known every question apart from the 5Js prior to this,
09:42and this one is a lot of guesswork.
09:46I don't think it's Nike or McDonald's.
09:50Something is making me lean towards A.
09:52Is someone in the audience gonna cough?
09:57Ten seconds.
09:59Um...
10:01I have to make a stab.
10:02Five.
10:03Okay, final answer, A.
10:04Tesco every little helps.
10:07One second left.
10:09And I'm afraid the wrong answer.
10:11Oh, it was just a guess.
10:12It's McDonald's, I'm loving it.
10:14That was in 2003.
10:16Tesco's been going since 1993.
10:18Wow.
10:19I wouldn't have known that.
10:20Well, I'm really sorry about that.
10:22Um, it was only very brief,
10:23and I was enjoying your trousers so much.
10:26Ladies and gentlemen, Rick Eshedvani.
10:28Well done.
10:29Thank you for being here.
10:31Let's bring out the next contestant.
10:36Hello.
10:37I thought punk was over.
10:39No.
10:40It's back!
10:41And it's there in the hot seat.
10:42Matt Whiteman, biotechnologist from Nottingham.
10:45Welcome.
10:47Um, because Rick Eshedvani got that question wrong,
10:51we've lost the million-pound top prize.
10:54The top prize is now a quarter of a million pounds.
10:57Still huge.
10:59Yes, still a nice bit in the pocket.
11:01Yeah.
11:02Okay, this is your £5,000 question.
11:05Um, you do have a pass available to you,
11:07and you have 30 seconds to answer it.
11:09In which of these US cities does New Year's Day begin first?
11:15Chicago, Illinois.
11:18San Francisco, California.
11:21Dallas, Texas.
11:23Or Miami, Florida.
11:24Florida.
11:25Okay.
11:26The sun rises in the east,
11:27so we're looking for the easternmost city.
11:31California's on the west coast.
11:34Chicago's a little bit in.
11:38Florida is an east coast state,
11:40and it kind of sticks out.
11:42So I'm going to...
11:43I'm going to have a punt and say Miami.
11:46Ryan Lancer.
11:48That's what I would have gone with as well.
11:51And we both would have been right,
11:52but you are right.
11:53Correct.
11:55Yeah.
11:57Right, well done, you.
11:59We're up to £7,500 now,
12:01and we're going to be looking at that question
12:03after this short break.
12:05See you in a minute.
12:06Welcome back to Millionaire Hot Seat.
12:21Matt is currently in the hot seat,
12:23and this question, Matt, is for £7,500.
12:26You can pass.
12:27You have 30 seconds to answer it.
12:30In 2019, the politician Ursula von der Leyen
12:34became the president of which body?
12:38European Parliament?
12:40European Commission?
12:42European Central Bank?
12:45Or European Court of Justice?
12:50Erm...
12:52I'm not always at politics.
12:53Definitely not a subject I was hoping to hit.
12:56Erm...
12:57I'm...
12:59I'm leaning towards European Parliament.
13:01But I don't think I'm sure enough to risk going out.
13:08So, erm, I think I'm going to pass.
13:11OK.
13:13You've thought out loud, which is useful and kind,
13:16to the following contestant.
13:18But for now, could you go and sit back there, please?
13:21And let's bring out the next contestant.
13:24APPLAUSE
13:27And you are Tanya Beggs,
13:29a pharmacy dispenser from Lysgaard.
13:31Yes.
13:32Now, tragically, you can't pass, I'm afraid.
13:34You have to answer this question.
13:36I'll read it for you again now.
13:39In 2019, the politician Ursula von der Leyen
13:42became the president of which body?
13:46Politics was not my strong suit at all.
13:48Erm...
13:49I don't think it's the central bank.
13:53I don't think it's court of justice.
13:55I think I've heard the name Ursula on the news
13:56and I'm just trying to figure out
13:59what the background noise was.
14:04Erm, I've got to go for something.
14:05Ten seconds.
14:06So, I will go for European Parliament, final answer.
14:10Well, it had to be one of them.
14:11Yeah.
14:13And that, I'm afraid, was the wrong one.
14:14Ah, no!
14:15Oh, I'm so sorry.
14:16It was the other one you were considering.
14:18It was the European Commission.
14:20And I'm afraid now we have to say goodbye,
14:22ladies and gentlemen.
14:23Tanya Beggs.
14:24So sorry, Tanya.
14:26To bring out the next contestant.
14:29It's heartless, if so.
14:30It's literally come and go.
14:33And you are Lynne Murray, a writer from Glasgow.
14:36Now, as a result of that casualty then,
14:39the top prize is now £100,000.
14:42Yeah.
14:43And this question, though, is worth £7,500.
14:45Here's the question.
14:49Which of these popular carols mentions the word Christmas
14:53in its lyrics?
14:54Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Silent Night, Away in a Manger,
15:02or God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.
15:05OK.
15:06So, I love Christmas carols, and I also love singing, right?
15:11I'm going to say, just to move quickly,
15:15it's not Hark the Herald Angels Sing because it's an older one.
15:18Away in a Manger, it's, you know, it's about animals
15:23and no sleep for a bed.
15:24Ten seconds.
15:25Silent Night, Holy Night.
15:27I'm going to say it's God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen because...
15:31Five.
15:32D, final answer.
15:33Yeah.
15:35You'll tell you're a writer.
15:36Yep.
15:38You know the answer, but you're not going to tell me
15:41before your 30 seconds runs out, but you did,
15:43and you were right.
15:44Well done.
15:45First verse.
15:48Remember Christ our Saviour was born on Christmas Day.
15:53You did well there.
15:54And you've now got us up to £10,000.
15:57Here is the question.
16:02Which of these is the IATA code for an airport
16:06that serves an African capital city?
16:10CAI,
16:12CBR,
16:13CCS
16:16or
16:17CPH?
16:20Okay.
16:21So,
16:23had it been...
16:25So, look,
16:26I promised myself if I got
16:29in a question and I really wasn't sure,
16:32I would use the one tool I had, which was the PASS,
16:35and that's what I'm going to do.
16:36Okey-doke.
16:38Now, you've got to hope you get back before the end of the show,
16:42but let's put you over there for now and bring out...
16:46APPLAUSE
16:48Bring out Neil again.
16:50Welcome back, Neil.
16:52Yeah, thank you.
16:53Feels like two seconds since you were last here.
16:55I was hoping to be probably a little bit further up the ladder
16:57when I came back to the seat again.
16:58Yeah, well, I'm afraid it's seven and a half and this is for £10,000.
17:03Which of these is the IATA code for an airport that serves an African capital city?
17:09OK, I'm trying to wrap my brains about these.
17:13There's only one which I can make any sense of whatsoever.
17:19I think B might be Congo Brazzaville.
17:23That's the only link that I can make in terms of an African country
17:27or a capital city in Africa.
17:29Ten seconds.
17:30I'm going to have to go with B, C, B, our final answer.
17:36Well, your logic made sense, but I'm afraid that's the wrong answer.
17:40Oh, I'm sorry, no.
17:43It's Cairo, isn't it?
17:44It's C-A-I, Cairo.
17:46CBR is Canberra in Australia.
17:49Definitely not in Africa.
17:51I'm really sorry about that.
17:53But there we are.
17:55That's the way this game works.
17:57Ladies and gentlemen, Neil Dinsdale.
17:59Well done, Neil.
18:01Bring Millie back out.
18:03Hi.
18:05Looking back, squeaky Millie.
18:06The prize fund is now £50,000 because of another casualty just then.
18:12This is for £10,000, though.
18:15Here is the question.
18:19In a standard game of Texas Hold'em poker,
18:22which of these hands is strongest?
18:26Three of a kind, full house, two pair or flush?
18:32OK.
18:34I haven't played...
18:38I have played poker, but not properly.
18:40I don't know.
18:43I mean, I'm going towards full house and flush.
18:48Could be wrong.
18:50Could be three of a kind or two pairs.
18:51Um...
18:53Ten seconds.
18:55I am going to go with...
18:58Five.
19:00Three.
19:02Flush, final answer.
19:04So you just made it in time, and you were wrong.
19:07Yeah.
19:09Hang on, I mean, hang on!
19:11Sorry!
19:12Everybody at home is going,
19:13Oh, I wonder what the right answer is.
19:14You'd be gone.
19:15Yeah, the correct answer was...
19:17Full house.
19:18Gutted.
19:19Full house.
19:20Well, I'm really sorry about that.
19:21It was fun having you...
19:22Oh, I know.
19:23Very sad.
19:24But ladies and gentlemen, Millie McGee.
19:25Now you can go.
19:27Now you're allowed to go.
19:28And let's bring back...
19:31Matt Whiteman.
19:33Welcome back, Matt.
19:34And you just left.
19:35We're a bit stuck on this one, aren't we?
19:37It seems so.
19:38Top prize now, £20,000.
19:41OK, here is the question.
19:42You can't pass.
19:4330 seconds to answer it.
19:47Which of these English words comes from the Hindi for to press or to squeeze?
19:55Coleslaw?
19:57Patio?
19:58Umbrella?
20:00Or shampoo?
20:01What?
20:02Um, I can't say I've ever learnt any Hindi.
20:07Um...
20:08I can't...
20:09Why would you squeeze coleslaw?
20:12Patio again.
20:13I guess you squeeze a shampoo bottle?
20:18Yeah, I'm...
20:20I don't think I'm going to go shampoo, final answer.
20:26The correct answer.
20:28The correct answer.
20:29Right, now that's bad news, I'm afraid, for Lynn, because you definitely won't be getting back in the chair. I'm very sorry about that.
20:40This is the final question of the show, and here is how it works.
20:45You can't pass, but you do have 45 seconds to answer it now.
20:49OK.
20:50If you get it right, you go home with £20,000.
20:55Enough for a whole new hairstyle.
21:00If you get it wrong, we'll give you £1,000.
21:03So there's basically £19,000 riding on your answer to this question.
21:08Here we go.
21:112026 marks 50 years since which of these films was first released in the USA?
21:19Star Wars, Rocky, Apocalypse Now, or The Godfather?
21:28OK.
21:29OK.
21:30So, 50 years before 2026 will be 76.
21:41They all seem like they're that sort of period. I feel like Rocky's maybe a little bit later.
21:45I've never seen The Godfather or Apocalypse now. Don't know anything about them.
21:5420 seconds.
21:55I mean, I know they're rough.
21:57When it first popped up, I know it's late 70s that Star Wars came out.
22:0310 seconds.
22:04So, I'm going to opt for Star Wars, final answer.
22:08And it's the wrong answer.
22:15I'm really sorry about that.
22:16It was, in fact, Rocky.
22:191976.
22:21Star Wars, you were very close.
