00:00Welcome to Millionaire Hot Seat.
00:30It's who wants to be a millionaire for the terminally impatient.
00:34It's against the clock, there are no lifelines, and if you mess it up, someone else gets to take your place.
00:40Let's meet tonight's players.
00:42They are...
00:44James Hammond from Reddit.
00:46Des Davis from Bilston.
00:49Verity Gill from Woodbridge.
00:52Andrew Cuthbertson from Tulsa Hill.
00:56Hannah Blackhall from Newcastle.
00:58And Rukshin Bajina from Harrow.
01:02OK, now, before the show, there was a random draw to see who gets into the hot seat first, and the winner of that was...
01:11James Hammond!
01:12So, James, if you've got to take a seat over there.
01:17I'll sit over here.
01:19Right.
01:22So, you're James Hammond, managing accountant from Reddit.
01:25Correct.
01:26Welcome to the show.
01:27Thank you very much. Pleasure to be here.
01:29I'm going to talk you through the rules, because there are one or two you do need to know.
01:33First of all, 15 questions.
01:36Get them all right.
01:37You win a million pounds.
01:38There are no lifelines, though.
01:40But you can pass.
01:41You then go and sit over there, and that is your pass used up.
01:45If you make it back into the chair later on, you can't use it again.
01:48OK, clear?
01:49Clear.
01:50If you answer and get it wrong, two things happen.
01:52Number one, the top rung disappears from the ladder.
01:57The prize money shrinks.
01:58And you go home.
02:01Ah.
02:01Getting it wrong, bad.
02:03Let's play Millionaire Hot Seats.
02:07Right, now.
02:10This is for £100, and you have 15 seconds to answer.
02:17What flower is depicted alongside three lions on the crest of the England national football team?
02:26Thistle.
02:27Rose.
02:28Daffodil or tulip?
02:31Big football fan.
02:33So I'm assuming this will be on the Scottish badge, daffodil on the Welsh.
02:39Not sure about the tulip, but I'm pretty certain it is a red rose.
02:43Final answer.
02:45Correct.
02:45Well done.
02:50This is for £200.
02:52The name of which of these pieces of medical equipment is derived from the Greek for chest and to view?
03:03Spirometer, stethoscope, electrocardiograph, or thermometer?
03:16Only, well, I suppose electrocardiograph, you would connect to your chest.
03:20Stethoscope, I suppose, stethoscope, stethoscope, final answer.
03:27And the correct answer again.
03:30Well done.
03:31Nice work.
03:32Let's have a look at the £300 question.
03:36Which of these TV shows has a theme tune with lyrics?
03:43Emmerdale, Hollyoaks, Coronation Street, Home and Away.
03:51My mum would be yelling at me through the telly right now with this one.
03:58But I can't say I know for sure, so I'm going to pass.
04:04Okey-doke.
04:05If you'd like to go and sit over there with your fingers crossed that you'll be back,
04:10and we shall bring out the next contestant.
04:12Thank you very much.
04:14James?
04:17Welcome.
04:17You're Des Davies, a breakdown recovery dispatcher from Bilston.
04:21That's correct.
04:22Now, the problem we have straight away is you can't pass.
04:25You've got to answer this whether you like it or not.
04:29Which of these TV shows has a theme tune with lyrics?
04:34No, seriously?
04:36Em, I'm singing it to myself.
04:38Em, that would be Home and Away, final answer, Jeremy.
04:41And the correct answer.
04:43Well done, Des.
04:45Well done.
04:47Now, your pass has become available.
04:51This is for £500.
04:55What name is commonly given to a young pigeon?
05:01Squab, signet, gosling or ayus?
05:06I could pass.
05:14I think I'm going to...
05:15Five seconds.
05:16Five seconds.
05:17Squab, final answer.
05:20And the correct answer.
05:23You had me worried there.
05:25I had myself worried.
05:26But anyway, it doesn't matter.
05:30Yeah.
05:30Because here is a question for £1,000.
05:36Which character is the subject of the only novel by Oscar Wilde?
05:41Count Dracula, Dorian Gray, Victor Frankenstein or Dr. Henry Jekyll?
05:51Er, I don't think it's Dracula.
05:55I don't think it's Frankenstein.
05:58Erm...
05:59I'm going to go for Dorian Gray, final answer.
06:06That is the correct answer.
06:08Well done.
06:08Right, now, what that means is we're up to £2,000.
06:15You now have 30 seconds to answer the questions.
06:19Yeah.
06:19Here we go.
06:20Pass still available.
06:21This is your £2,000 question.
06:23Which of these rivers crosses a border between two UK nations?
06:32Trent, X, Weir or Seven?
06:39Er, OK.
06:40Erm...
06:41I don't think it's the Weir because there's only England up in that part of the world.
06:51Erm, X, I don't know what it is, but...
06:57Jeremy, I believe it is the River Seven, so I'm going to final answer, River Seven.
07:06You got the right answer.
07:07Well done.
07:08Well done.
07:11So that's £2,000.
07:13Hey, we still have a top prize of a million quid.
07:17So, let's have a look at the question for £3,000, shall we?
07:25Which of these pasta shapes is a hollow tube?
07:31Farfalla, rigatoni, pronchilia or gemelli?
07:37Well, Jeremy, on this one, it would be a total guess, so I think on this one I'm going to use a pass.
07:47Don't blame you, you've done very, very well.
07:49So, Daz, if you'd like to go and sit over there, we shall bring out our next contestant.
07:54APPLAUSE
07:55We're going to move along one, you see.
07:59Hoping to get back here, but for now we have Verity Gill, marketing analyst from Woodbridge.
08:04And straight away I have bad news, you can't pass.
08:05I know.
08:07So let's hope you know your pasta shapes, because this is the question you must answer.
08:13Which of these pasta shapes is a hollow tube?
08:16So, I don't 100% know.
08:20I know Farfalla, I think, is like the bow tie.
08:24Conchigli, I'm thinking it's a shell.
08:26Conch, so I'm thinking that's the shell-shaped one.
08:29Rigatoni, when it came up, I felt like that was probably it.
08:33So, because I can't pass, I'm going to say rigatoni, final answer.
08:40Bit of a guess.
08:42A little bit, yes.
08:42But it worked, because that's the right answer, well done.
08:45Thank you very much.
08:48That's marvellous.
08:49We're now up to £5,000, which is great news.
08:52Here's the question.
08:55In the Shakespeare play Macbeth, which of these is listed as an ingredient in the witch's brew?
09:03Fire of phoenix, eye of newt, spine of porcupine, or feather of macaw?
09:13Yep, getting flashbacks.
09:14I think I did it for my GCSE.
09:17I am pretty sure that it is eye of newt, final answer.
09:22Well, remembered, it was only a couple of years ago.
09:24Yeah, obviously.
09:26And it was the right answer.
09:27Yeah, well done.
09:31Yeah, excellent.
09:33£7,500 is up for grabs now.
09:36Let's have a look at the question, shall we?
09:39Which car company has used a so-called Wind Arrow logo since the 1920s?
09:46Renault, Toyota, Skoda, or BMW?
09:54OK, I think I know this, but I don't...
09:59I know it's not Toyota.
10:05I know it's not Renault.
10:08Skoda is the bird.
10:10Ten seconds.
10:14Yeah.
10:15Do you know what?
10:15I'm not 100% sure, so I'm going to play my pass.
10:21You might not get back in.
10:24Yep.
10:24Where are we?
10:25Yeah, you see, everybody's still here.
10:27Mm-hmm.
10:27I think this is the nicest person.
10:30She's basically protected the top prize by passing and sacrificed herself.
10:36You owe her a drink.
10:37But in the meantime, Verity, if you'd like to go and sit over there,
10:41bring out the next contestant.
10:46Andrew Cuthbertson.
10:47Hello.
10:48Dog trainer from Tulse Hill in London.
10:50Yes.
10:50You can't pass.
10:5330 seconds to answer.
10:54This is the question.
10:55Which car company has used a so-called winged arrow logo since the 1920s?
11:01So, unfortunately, you're the worst person for me to say this to you,
11:05but I know nothing about cars.
11:07I know the Toyota is like a...
11:09The logo's made up of the letters.
11:11BMW is like the white and blue one.
11:12So it's between those two.
11:14At first, I thought Renault.
11:16But then Verity said that she wasn't Renault.
11:19Was she bluffing?
11:20Ten seconds.
11:21I have no idea.
11:24I'm going to go Skoda, final answer.
11:31That was a look of pure panic on your face there with five seconds to go.
11:36Unnecessarily, because that is the correct answer.
11:39Well done.
11:41APPLAUSE
11:41OK.
11:45Still got a million pounds at the top, which is great,
11:49but I'm afraid we must now take a short break.
11:52We'll be back in a few moments.
11:53See you then.
11:54APPLAUSE
11:55Welcome back to Millionaire Hot Seat.
12:10Andrew is currently in the hot seat.
12:12This question is worth 10,000, Andrew.
12:16You can pass.
12:1730 seconds to answer it.
12:19Here we go.
12:19Which of these is a warrior of Scandinavian legend
12:24who fought with a wild or uncontrolled trance-like ferocity?
12:31Dementor, berserker, Amazon or barbarian?
12:37So I know it's not Amazon.
12:44Dementors, I don't know if they're real.
12:46I just know them from Harry Potter.
12:48So I'm torn between berserker or barbarian.
12:55Nothing is jumping out at me.
12:57So I think, yeah, I'm going to do everyone else a solid
13:02and pass, I think.
13:05What lovely people we have.
13:07What genuinely lovely people we have.
13:10OK, Andrew, if you go and sit over there, please,
13:12and we shall bring out our next contestants.
13:14APPLAUSE
13:15And you are, Anna Blackall, a teacher from Newcastle.
13:23I am.
13:24Welcome.
13:26This is for £10,000.
13:28You can't pass, I'm afraid.
13:30Here's the question.
13:31Which of these is a warrior of Scandinavian legend
13:34who fought with a wild or uncontrolled trance-like ferocity?
13:38I'm not 100% certain,
13:42but I think I can hopefully agree
13:44and rule out Dementor and Amazon.
13:48And I think if we're thinking about a wild
13:51or uncontrolled trance-like ferocity,
13:54that sounds like going berserk.
13:57So, obviously, I can't pass,
13:59but I'm not 100% certain,
14:00but I'll go berserker.
14:02Final answer, please.
14:05Good logic.
14:07And the right answer.
14:09Nice work. Well done.
14:13Yeah, you did very well there.
14:16Now, £20,000 question,
14:18and what that means is you get 45 seconds to answer.
14:22All right?
14:23Let's have a look at the question, shall we,
14:24for £20,000.
14:29Which of these animals does not go into hibernation
14:33during the winter?
14:35Common hedgehog?
14:37Hazel dormouse?
14:38Common pipistrelle bat or European badger?
14:43I think a hedgehog definitely does.
14:50I think dormouse probably do as well.
14:56I think I'm going to play this one,
15:00and I'm not 100% certain,
15:02but I think it might be the common pipistrelle bat final answer.
15:10And you are, I'm afraid, our first casualty.
15:13That is the wrong answer.
15:15It's, annoyingly, the European badger.
15:18Oh, dear, yeah, I'm afraid we have to say goodbye after a very brief trip to the chair.
15:25Ladies and gentlemen, Anna Blackall.
15:27Thank you very much.
15:28You'd like to come along.
15:35So, Dokshin Bojina, accountant from Harrow, welcome.
15:39Bad news straight away is that we've lost the million pound prize.
15:43But hey, it's still a quarter of a million.
15:46This is for £20,000, and you have 45 seconds to answer.
15:51Here's the question.
15:53Signed by five nations in 1944,
15:58the Alexandria Protocol directly led to the formation
16:01of which of these bodies?
16:04African Union, Arab League, the Commonwealth or G7?
16:13So, I'm trying to think that's close to perhaps the Second World War.
16:18I'm trying to think what sort of words go with Alexandria.
16:26G7, I'm not sure if that's five nations.
16:35Yeah, I'm not too sure about this one,
16:36so I think I might take a punt.
16:47Ten seconds.
16:48I think I will guess at Arab League.
16:55Final answer? Final answer.
16:57At one second.
17:00That is the right answer.
17:04Well done. Now, that's very, very good indeed.
17:09And what that means is this question is for £50,000.
17:14Let's have a look. You still have your pass.
17:19Which of these actors was youngest
17:21when they received their first Oscar nomination?
17:24I think Timothee Chalamet would have been most recently.
17:41He's quite young, so I think he would have been quite young, but same with Saoirse Ronan.
17:47Leonardo DiCaprio, I think he would have got that quite early on, perhaps with Titanic,
17:53which was a while ago. Jennifer Lawrence, also quite young.
17:57I think I'm going to take a punt again.
18:03And just judging by how young Timothee Chalamet is,
18:09and he's been sort of in the industry for a while, I'll go with D, Timothee Chalamet, final answer.
18:19I'm really sorry. That's the wrong answer.
18:21So, it is actually Saoirse Ronan, who's 13.
18:29Oh, wow.
18:30For atonement.
18:31So, I'm really sorry about that.
18:32I'm afraid we have to say goodbye.
18:35Ladies and gentlemen, Rukh Shimbhajina, thank you.
18:37Sorry, bad luck.
18:39If you'd like to come back now.
18:44Welcome back.
18:46Welcome back, James.
18:46It feels like a long time since you were here.
18:48Absolutely.
18:49But you did get us up to 300.
18:51You did well to start with.
18:52So, top prize is now £100,000.
18:56That's what you're aiming for.
18:57That's a lot.
18:58All right, let's have a look at the question.
18:59You can't pass, remember.
19:00Okay, you've got 45 seconds.
19:02This is the question.
19:04Which of these British overseas territories is furthest away from London?
19:11Montserrat, Bermuda, St Helena or Gibraltar?
19:16So, Gibraltar, I believe, falls under Europe, judged by football, off the coast of Spain, I think.
19:27Bermuda, I believe, is Atlantic Ocean somewhere.
19:34Montserrat, St Helena.
19:3720 seconds.
19:44Unfortunately, I do not know where Montserrat or St Helena are.
19:48I'm going to have to take a punt on the small amount of knowledge I have on this one.
19:53Can't pass, unfortunately.
19:55So, I'm going to go with Bermuda, final answer.
19:58And I'm sorry, but that is the wrong answer.
20:05It's St Helena, which is 4,673 miles away from London.
20:10Montserrat, 4,123.
20:13Bermuda, virtually next door, 3,449.
20:18And then Gibraltar, just over 1,000.
20:20Been fun having you, though.
20:21But, ladies and gentlemen, James Hammond.
20:24Good luck, James.
20:25Sorry about that.
20:26Des.
20:29Welcome back now.
20:31Ooh.
20:32Um, few things I need to clear up.
20:35I'm afraid to say this is the last question that we're about to have now,
20:39which means I'm afraid you won't be involved anymore.
20:42But, Des, it's all down to you, and this is how it works.
20:46You can't pass.
20:47You're going to have to answer the question.
20:49If you get it right, you win £50,000.
20:53Mm-hmm.
20:54If you get it wrong, we'll give you £1,000.
20:58Oh.
20:59So, there's £49,000 riding on your answer to this question.
21:05Truth be known, Jeremy, I've not heard of any of these.
21:32I don't have a Scooby-Doo.
21:34Erm.
21:37I'll probably pronounce them all wrong.
21:39Yeah.
21:41Erm.
21:42If I was to eliminate one first, I would say Machu Picchu.
21:48Erm.
21:52Some things draw me towards ancient Thebes.
21:56And...
21:5715 seconds.
21:58I'm going to lock in ancient Thebes.
22:00I'll go for that one, Jeremy.
22:02Final answer.
22:03Final answer.
22:10I'm sorry, Des.
22:11That's the wrong answer.
22:14Oh, that's awful.
22:15Erm.
22:16I was rather hoping you'd win that one.
22:18The correct answer is the Chichen Itza.
22:20OK.
22:21Erm.
22:21It's the iconic step pyramid, also known as El Castillo, the castle.
22:26Erm.
22:26Oh, that's awful.
22:27I do, I feel very sorry for you, but you are leaving here not completely empty-handed.
22:31We'll give you £1,000.
22:33It's been a good day.
22:34Thank you very much, Jeremy.
22:35Bye.
22:35And erm...
22:36Erm, thank you very much for playing.
22:39Thank you very much for playing.
22:41Join me next time, when six new players will be here, all hoping to win a million pounds.
22:46See you then.
22:47APPLAUSE
22:48APPLAUSE
