00:00MUSIC
00:24Very kind, very kind, thank you.
00:27Hello and welcome to Millionaire Hot Seat.
00:30Now, if you boil the bones of who wants to be a millionaire,
00:33this is the delicious broth you end up with.
00:37Timed answers, no lifelines,
00:39and five other players waiting to jump into your place
00:43if you mess it up.
00:45Let's meet tonight's contestants. They are...
00:48Chris Evans from Birmingham.
00:51Bobby Freeman from Gateshead.
00:54Raza Khan from Bradford.
00:57Michelle Hardy from Chesterfield.
01:00Lacey Newton from Barburn.
01:02And Sandra Crump from East Greenstead.
01:06Good. Now, before the show, there was a random draw
01:08to see who goes in the hot seat first.
01:11And the winner of that was...
01:13Chris Evans.
01:15APPLAUSE
01:16Welcome, Chris.
01:18There's your seat. Help yourself.
01:21Welcome.
01:23So, you're Chris Evans, a science teacher from Birmingham.
01:26That's right.
01:27Nice to see you've dressed up for the occasion.
01:29Thank you very much.
01:30Now, there are one or two rules I ought to talk you through
01:33before we start.
01:3415 questions, get them all right, you win a million pounds.
01:38You've no lifelines, but you can pass.
01:41If you do that, you go to the back of the queue,
01:43and that's your pass used up.
01:45You only get one per show.
01:47If you get the question wrong,
01:49we lose the top rung from the ladder,
01:51prize money shrinks, and you go home.
01:54OK, you ready?
01:55I'm ready.
01:56Let's play Millionaire Hot Seat.
01:58APPLAUSE
02:01Good, good.
02:04Now, we've got 15 seconds to answer this question,
02:08which is worth £100. Here we go.
02:11A best man's speech is most commonly delivered at which event?
02:16Graduation, funeral, housewarming or wedding?
02:22OK, so you have speeches at all of these events,
02:25but, of course, a best man's speech would be the best man of a groom.
02:29So the answer is D, wedding, final answer.
02:32Correct answer, well done, it's £100.
02:38This is for £200.
02:40In the UK, which of these measurements has the smallest volume?
02:47One pint, one gallon, one litre or one fluid ounce?
02:56OK, so you've got both metric and imperial there.
02:59So I know that a pint is less than a litre.
03:03And a fluid ounce would, of course, be the smallest there.
03:05I'm going to lock in D, one fluid ounce, final answer.
03:09Two seconds left.
03:12But the correct answer. Thank you.
03:13Well done.
03:15Well done.
03:19This is for £300.
03:22Hereford, Jersey and Aberdeen Angus
03:24are all breeds of which farm animal?
03:27Chicken, sheep, cattle or pig?
03:32I'm pretty sure you have Angus beef,
03:37so therefore you would assume...
03:39You would know this, wouldn't you, Jeremy?
03:41I'm going to go for C, cattle, final answer.
03:45And the correct answer, well done.
03:50Right, this is for £500.
03:55The original line-up of which of these pop groups
03:58is 60% women?
04:02Steps, Little Mix, The Pussycat Dolls or McFly?
04:09OK, McFly was all boy, The Pussycat Dolls all girls,
04:12Little Mix all girls.
04:13Steps had three girls and two boys at 60%,
04:15so the answer is A, Steps.
04:19And final answer.
04:21And the correct answer, yes, well done.
04:23We are speeding along and we've reached £1,000.
04:30This is the question.
04:34Which of these alphabetic currency codes
04:36represents a type of dollar?
04:39DOP, HKD, DKK or VND?
04:47So, I think it's the Hong Kong dollar.
04:53But I'm not 100%.
04:56But it is only for £1,000.
04:59Four seconds.
05:00I'm going to lock in B, HKD, final answer.
05:05And the correct answer.
05:07Oh, no.
05:09I thought you were going to tell me I was wrong then.
05:10No.
05:11Although I was slightly intrigued by the notion of it's only £1,000.
05:16If you get it wrong, the million-pound prize is gone.
05:20That's true, yeah.
05:21This lot would have properly hated you.
05:23Yeah.
05:25Righty-ho.
05:26Now, as we're above £1,000, you therefore get longer to answer them.
05:3030 seconds now, OK?
05:32This is your £2,000 question.
05:34In 2025, which item made by Hermes for the actor Jane Birkin
05:44sold at auction for more than £7 million?
05:49Handbag, watch, scarf or perfume?
05:56OK.
05:58I don't know the answer.
05:59So, I believe...
06:02I don't want to even add any help or information to the next player
06:08because I think I'll be leading them down the wrong path.
06:13So, I'm going to pass Jeremy and take my place at the back of the line.
06:17Okey-doke.
06:18Thanks, Chris.
06:19You've done very well so far, but keep your fingers crossed
06:21you'll be back later.
06:23And let's bring out the next contestant.
06:24APPLAUSE
06:28Welcome, Bobby Freeman, IT Support Engineer from Gateshead.
06:32Hello, Jeremy.
06:33Right, now, the bad news is you can't pass, I'm afraid.
06:36We've just had a pass, you can't, you have to answer this question.
06:39Yep.
06:40You have 30 seconds.
06:42In 2025, which item made by Hermes for the actor Jane Birkin
06:47sold at auction for more than £7 million?
06:50So, I was actually quite glad that this got past me,
06:53because I think I know the answer.
06:55I know Hermes aren't known, really, for making watches.
06:59Perfumes, I know they do.
07:01Probably scarves as well, but I know the Birkin bag
07:03is one of the most sought-after handbags, I think.
07:06So...
07:08Yeah, I think off the back of that, I'm going to have to go
07:11A, handbag, final answer.
07:13And the right answer. Nice work.
07:17Nice work, the Birkin bag.
07:19Yeah.
07:20Now, good news, your pass is now available to you.
07:24This question is for £3,000.
07:29What's depicted on the logo that indicates a garage
07:33is authorised to perform MOT tests?
07:35Two squares, three triangles, four stars, or five circles?
07:44I think I know this as well.
07:47I believe it's, like, usually a blue background of white,
07:50and I believe it's three triangles in sort of a...
07:53two on the bottom, one on the top, or the other way around.
07:57It's not two... It's definitely not two squares.
08:00I don't think it's stars, I don't think I've seen that before.
08:03Ten seconds.
08:05I'm going to lock in B, three triangles, final answer.
08:09Correct answer.
08:11Nice. Well done.
08:13Well done.
08:15All six contestants are still here,
08:17and the top prize is, therefore, still £1,000.
08:20Now, this is for £5,000.
08:23Which of these words can be spelt by putting
08:27two US state postal abbreviations together?
08:31Post,
08:33mail,
08:35card,
08:37or mark?
08:39So, initially, I'm thinking mail.
08:41It could be Massachusetts and Illinois...
08:43Oh, no, Illinois.
08:44I'm really bad for my American...
08:46US states.
08:48California...
08:50I don't know enough to probably risk it,
08:53but my initial thought would have been B.
08:57I'm going to have to use my pass, I think.
09:00Mm-key-do.
09:02Bobby, let's hope we see you again later.
09:05But in the meantime, let's bring out another contestant.
09:10Welcome, Raza Khan, marketing tech manager from Bradford.
09:13Yep.
09:14Hopefully, that little bit of out loud thinking there
09:17will be of some use to you,
09:19and the time you've had to think about it.
09:21You can't pass remember.
09:23And this is the question.
09:24Which of these words could be spelt by putting
09:27two US state postal abbreviations together?
09:31Yep, so, as Bobby said,
09:34Massachusetts...
09:36I can't say that state, I've got a list.
09:39And also, Illinois is a state.
09:42So, I will go, M-A-I-L.
09:45Male, final answer, please.
09:47And the correct answer.
09:49Well done, Raza.
09:51And well done you.
09:53Right, excellent.
09:55This is for seven and a half thousand,
09:57the million pound price still available.
09:59And your pass is now available, by the way.
10:02Which of these traditional French dishes
10:04does not typically contain seafood?
10:09Bouillabaisse, moules marinières,
10:13cassoulet,
10:15or salade niçoise?
10:17Salade niçoise is something tuna-y.
10:22Moules marinières is mussels.
10:26Cassoulet, I have no idea.
10:30And Bouillabaisse, also no idea.
10:36Ten seconds.
10:38I think I'll use my pass.
10:40Wise choice, protect that million pounds.
10:43OK, Raza, we shall bring out another contestant.
10:49Welcome.
10:51Michelle Hardy, a retired finance manager from Chesterfield.
10:54Yes.
10:55This is the question for seven and a half thousand pounds.
10:59Which of these traditional French dishes
11:02does not typically contain seafood?
11:05OK, so luckily I do think I know this one.
11:09Everything that Raza said is correct,
11:12and the two he didn't know.
11:14Cassoulet is beans,
11:16and Bouillabaisse is definitely fish.
11:19Salade niçoise, I did think maybe anchovies as opposed to tuna,
11:23but I think he's right.
11:24Ten seconds.
11:26So I'm going to say not typically seafood, cassoulet.
11:29Final answer?
11:31Final answer.
11:33Three seconds to go there.
11:35But the right answer, of course, you knew that.
11:37It's actually,
11:39cassoulet is a variety of meats,
11:42including pork and sausage,
11:44but it does have beans in it, doesn't it?
11:46Million pound prize still available,
11:48but now we must take a short break.
11:50See you in a minute. Bye.
11:52APPLAUSE
12:03Welcome back to Millionaire Hot Seat.
12:06Michelle is currently in the hot seat.
12:08Top prize is still a million pounds.
12:10This is for £10,000, though.
12:12In the Lord of the Rings, which of these groups has the most members in the collective known as the Fellowship of the Ring?
12:22Elves?
12:24Men?
12:26Hobbits?
12:27Or wizards?
12:29OK.
12:31So, as much as I love literature,
12:33Lord of the Rings is not one of the things I'm familiar with.
12:37So, I am definitely going to use my pass on this, Jeremy.
12:42Okey-doke. Well, I hope there's enough time to get you back.
12:45Yes.
12:47But in the meantime, let's bring out the next contestant.
12:49APPLAUSE
12:51Hello.
12:53Lucy Newton, primary school administrator from Barbun.
12:56Right, so, bad news, you can't pass, I'm afraid.
12:59Yeah.
13:00Good news, you've got 30 seconds to answer.
13:02This is it.
13:03In the Lord of the Rings, which of these groups has the most members in the collective known as the Fellowship of the Ring?
13:11I really don't know. This is a really bad one that I can't pass on.
13:16I don't think it's wizards, because I think there's only one.
13:21There were quite a few hobbits.
13:2415 seconds.
13:25Yeah.
13:27I don't know, so I'm going to have to guess.
13:34Five seconds.
13:35Yeah.
13:36Please, can I lock in hobbits, but it's a guess, and I really don't know.
13:41Well, it was a total guess.
13:44And it was correct.
13:46That is the right answer.
13:48Wow.
13:50Yeah, there were four hobbits.
13:53So, well done.
13:54So, it's still a million quid as the top prize.
13:56That's fantastic.
13:57This, though, is for £20,000.
13:59And you have 45 seconds to answer.
14:03Here we go.
14:06In the British Army, which of these ranks is the highest?
14:11Brigadier?
14:13Major General?
14:15Colonel?
14:16Or Field Marshal?
14:19Oh, okay.
14:21Well, I don't know this one either.
14:24I don't think it's Colonel or Major General.
14:29Major General?
14:30Oh, now I'm not sure.
14:31I don't think it's Colonel.
14:33I think it's between Brigadier and Field Marshal.
14:36And I think...
14:40Oh, I really don't know.
14:42Erm, I think it's Field Marshal.
14:45And I know that I could pass, but selfishly, I don't think I'll get back in the seat.
14:53Ten seconds.
14:54So, please, can I say Field Marshal final answer?
14:59Now, if that's wrong, you go home.
15:02Yes.
15:03The prize fund drops by £750,000.
15:06That's what's riding on this.
15:07Sorry, sorry if I'm wrong, everybody.
15:09£750,000, if she's got that wrong.
15:13But you haven't. That's the correct answer.
15:16Yeah, you can't.
15:19Nice.
15:20This is an astonishing show to get to this stage and still have the million pounds available.
15:26So, this question for £50,000.
15:32Typically used to measure the speed of a rotating shaft,
15:37which of these instruments is also known as a rev counter?
15:43Geiger counter?
15:45Hygrometer?
15:47Tachometer?
15:48Or voltmeter?
15:52OK, just to go with the theme, I don't know the answer to this either.
15:58It's not a Geiger counter because that's for background radiation.
16:04Oh, a tachograph.
16:12Er, a voltmeter must be for electricity.
16:1520 seconds.
16:17I don't know what a hygrometer is, a hygrometer.
16:21An a tachometer, a tachograph, you have that in a lorry.
16:25Ten seconds.
16:26I don't know, but please can I say...
16:30Five.
16:31C, final answer.
16:38Again, £750,000 writing on this.
16:41Sorry, everybody.
16:43And you're right again.
16:45Unbelievable.
16:47Luckiest contestant in human history.
16:50Well worked out, sort of, but you got there and that's tremendous.
16:53So, this is for £100,000.
16:56Ooh!

17:28I don't know this either.
17:31Leonardo DiCaprio has only just won an Oscar.
17:36And I think he's in a...
17:38I think he's in his 40s.
17:40David Beckham's just been knighted and I think he is about 50.
17:46I didn't know that David Bowie won a Brit Award.
17:50Barack Obama.
17:51His presidency.
17:5315 seconds.
17:55That was about...
17:57Which of these was the oldest when they first achieved the following?
18:01Erm...
18:03I wonder if it was posthumous.
18:05Please, can I lock in David Bowie, number four?
18:08D. D. D, not four.
18:10Panicky.
18:11Your luck's run out.
18:12Yeah.
18:13That is the wrong answer.
18:14Yeah.
18:15I'm really sorry.
18:16With one second to go.
18:17No, it is actually David Beckham.
18:19You were right.
18:20He was 50.
18:21Barack Obama, 47.
18:22Leonardo DiCaprio was 41.
18:23David Bowie was 37 when he got his Brit.
