00:00MUSIC
00:20Thank you so much.
00:23Thank you so much, everybody.
00:25Hello and welcome to Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
00:28Tonight, we are cracking open a fresh pack of potential contestants.
00:33Let's meet them. They are...
00:36Ricky Williams from Shrewsbury.
00:38Monique Bouvet from Hoxton.
00:41Martin Hannan from Glasgow.
00:44Vicky Dunn from Epsom.
00:47Arunan Jekuma from Newbury Park.
00:50And Jem Essary Lilikakis from Stratford.
00:54APPLAUSE
00:56Good, good. Right, now, to see who gets to sit in the chair,
00:59we're going to play fastest finger first.
01:01Are you all ready?
01:04Good. Here comes the question.
01:08Starting with the fewest,
01:10put these sports in order of the number of times
01:13a person representing it
01:15has won BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
01:22Snooker, Tennis, Athletics, Boxing.
01:35Right, time's up.
01:37So let's first of all see the correct order.
01:39We've got snooker, one win, Steve Davis.
01:42Boxing, five wins.
01:43And then we have Tennis, seven wins.
01:46And finally, Athletics, 19 wins.
01:50So, how many people got that right?
01:56Only two.
01:57And who was the fastest?
01:59It was Arunan Jekuma in 5.52 seconds.
02:04Well done.
02:05Well done.
02:08Welcome to the set.
02:09There's your seat.
02:11APPLAUSE
02:13So, you are Arunan Jekuma,
02:16a clinical researcher, sounds complicated,
02:20from Newbury Park.
02:22I guess you know the rules, don't you?
02:24Yes, I do.
02:24I know everyone at home knows the rules.
02:26So I suggest we get cracking, OK?
02:28Let's get to it.
02:29OK, let's play Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
02:38Settle you down with some easy ones.
02:39This is for £100.
02:43Which of these is most likely to be used in weightlifting?
02:48Doorbell, bluebell, barbell, or mini babybell?
02:53The answer would be C, barbell.
02:56Final answer.
02:57And the right answer, that's £100.
02:59Spread away.
03:00APPLAUSE
03:02This is for £200.
03:06The first lady of the United States is typically married to the holder of which high-ranking office?
03:13Attorney General, Secretary of State, President, or Speaker of the House?
03:19The President.
03:21Final answer.
03:21That was very easy.
03:23And that's £200.
03:24Yeah, that's the easiest £200 ever.
03:27APPLAUSE
03:28OK, this is for £300.
03:32Which of these terms is used to describe an intimate, candid conversation?
03:37Back-to-back, heart-to-heart, toe-to-toe, eye-to-eye?
03:44It would be heart-to-heart, final answer.
03:47And the right answer, £300.
03:50APPLAUSE
03:54Now, this is your £500 question.
03:59A ball cock is commonly found inside which of these?
04:03A light bulb, burglar alarm, toilet cistern, or electric kettle?
04:14I think I'm going to ask the host for this final answer.
04:19Here's what I think.
04:21I'm surprised to be brought in so early, but...
04:24Right.
04:25Well, there's no point messing around.
04:26It's a toilet system.
04:28And that is my final answer.
04:31Since you're 100% sure, I think I'm going to go with C.
04:35Final answer.
04:36Can we reveal the correct answer, please?
04:39There it is, yes.
04:41There's no need to applaud that.
04:45Plumbing is my middle name.
04:48Right, now, this is for £1,000.
04:51This is your first safety net question.
04:55Members of the Allium family include onions, leeks, garlic,
04:59and which of these herbs?
05:02Parsley, rosemary, basil, or chives?
05:09One of these answers scream out to me, but I just want to be on the safe side, and I
05:16am going to go for, ask the audience for this one.
05:23Okie doke.
05:24Audience, on your keypads, please.
05:27This is the question.
05:29Members of the Allium family include onions, leeks, garlic, and which of these herbs?
05:34And if you'd all vote now, please.
05:48Look at that, 95% have gone for chives.
05:51It was exactly what I was thinking, and I've just wasted a lifeline, but I'm happy that I've made sure
05:57I've got the right one, but I will go with chives, final answer.
06:01And that is the correct answer.
06:03You've made it to your safety net.
06:07Right.
06:08Now, I've established that you're not brilliant on cooking vegetables, and we've established you don't know anything about plumbing.
06:16Exactly that.
06:18What would be your favourite subjects that you hope crop up?
06:22Science, movies, some fictional books would be fine, history, some.
06:28History would be good, ok.
06:30You never know.
06:31Right, this is for £2,000.
06:33Would you like to set your safety net at this point?
06:37No, I think I'll continue, thank you.
06:39Righty-ho, here is the question.
06:42Released in 1996, what was the debut UK number one single by the Spice Girls?
06:50Two Become One, Wannabe, Stop or Viva Forever?
06:58I've heard of the Spice Girls.
07:03Had you heard of a ball cock?
07:05No.
07:08Two Become One, Wannabe, Viva Forever, Stop.
07:18You know what?
07:19I'm gonna go for 50-50 because I really don't know anything about...
07:24You don't know any of them?
07:25I don't know, I've never heard any of them.
07:27Okey-doke, computer, could you take away two wrong answers, please?
07:33So, if you didn't know four, does that somehow help you?
07:38Released in 1997.
07:41I'm gonna go for B, final answer.
07:49Here's the right answer you've got there!
07:51Yay!
07:52£2,000.
07:56And you still have a lifeline left.
07:59So, here we go.
08:00Now, would you like to set your safety net at £4,000?
08:04No.
08:04Okey-doke.
08:06Here's the question.
08:08Which of these dancers would typically be performed to rock and roll music?
08:14Jive, waltz, cha-cha or rumba?
08:20It's definitely not C, cha-cha.
08:24And it's definitely not D, rumba.
08:28Jive does scream out to me, but so does waltz.
08:35I'm gonna go A, jive, final answer.
08:40Yep, that's the right answer.
08:43APPLAUSE
08:48Right, so, safety net at £8,000.
08:52No, thank you.
08:53Let's just...
08:53Here is the question.
08:56Which of these is not a capital city?
09:00Bratislava, Sofia, Istanbul or Warsaw?
09:06It's B, final answer, Sofia.
09:09Oh, yeah.
09:12That's the wrong answer.
09:16What can happen if Turkey is Ankara?
09:18Oh, yeah.
09:19Not Istanbul.
09:20I think the basic problem, Arunin, is you just don't know very many things.
09:25Yeah.
09:26This maybe was the wrong show for you to be on.
09:30That's what I'm thinking.
09:31Yeah.
09:31But, despite that, you are leaving with £1,000.
09:35Yeah.
09:36Ladies and gentlemen, Arunin, Takuma!
09:40APPLAUSE
09:52It's time to take a break.
09:54We shall be back in a few moments.
09:56Hopefully, things will improve.
09:58See you then.
10:03APPLAUSE
10:13Welcome back to Who Wants To Win Nothing At All, as it should be called.
10:17We've got five contestants left, and once again, they're going to play fastest finger first.
10:22Here comes the question.
10:25Put these characters in the order they first appear in the wonderful Wizard of Oz book.
10:34Cowardly Lion, Dorothy, Tin Woodman, Scarecrow.
10:49Right, time's up, so let's first of all see the correct order.
10:52We've got Dorothy first, then the Scarecrow, then the Tin Woodman, and then the Cowardly Lion.
10:59And let's see how many people got that right.
11:03Only two.
11:04Who is the fastest?
11:07It was Jen Essary-Lily Carcass in 3.41 seconds.
11:13Well done, Jen.
11:16Congratulations.
11:19I'll try.
11:20That's my tip.
11:23OK, so you are Jen Essary-Lily Carcass, a product manager from Stratford.
11:29And you're joined in the audience by your husband, Kiri.
11:33Yeah.
11:33Hello.
11:33Hello, Kiri.
11:34Shall we get cracking?
11:35Yeah.
11:36Let's play Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
11:40APPLAUSE
11:42This is your £100 question.
11:47What is the official slogan of sportswear brand Nike?
11:53Just for laughs?
11:54Just my luck?
11:56Just do it?
11:58Or just add water?
12:00That would be just do it, final answer.
12:04Correct answer.
12:05£100.
12:06APPLAUSE
12:10This is for £200.
12:14Which of these is a small motorised vehicle used to get around a golf course?
12:20Buggy, pram, pushchair, stroller?
12:24I mean, I was expecting to say golf cart, but that would probably be a bit too obvious.
12:28Yeah.
12:28But I think it's buggy, final answer.
12:32Ali, you're right.
12:33Correct.
12:33Yes, good.
12:34£200.
12:38Mercifully, we've had no questions on bullcocks, so you're doing very well.
12:42Yeah.
12:42This is for £300.
12:46A common phrase that refers to a situation being made worse is rubbing what into the wound?
12:56Salt, pepper, paprika, or mixed herbs?
13:00Nice.
13:01That would be salt, final answer.
13:05And the right answer, yep.
13:07Thanks.
13:11And this then is for £500.
13:15Which of these words refers to the habit of putting off or postponing something that must be done?
13:24Proclamation, profanation, procreation, or procrastination?
13:31Procrastination.
13:32Yeah.
13:33Procrastination, final answer.
13:35And the correct answer.
13:36There we go.
13:38And this, this is for a thousand.
13:43This gets you to your first safety net.
13:45Nice.
13:47In the Southern Hemisphere, which of these months falls in the summer?
13:52January, April, July, or September?
13:58So, Southern Hemisphere, opposite to ours, so that would be January, final answer.
14:05And you've done it.
14:06You've paid it to £1,000.
14:10Yes.
14:13And you haven't used a single lifeline, unlike some people this evening.
14:19So, safety net at £2,000?
14:22No, thank you.
14:23Okie dokie.
14:24Here comes your question.
14:27Used since 1999 for displaying temporary artworks, where is the fourth plinth?
14:35Royal Mile, Edinburgh, Cardiff Castle, Ulster Museum, or Trafalgar Square?
14:42This is definitely in London, so that would be Trafalgar Square, final answer.
14:50Absolutely right, £2,000.
14:56So, now that we're up and running properly, if you were to win a great deal of money, what
15:02would you like to spend it on?
15:03Well, I think first would be maybe a big honeymoon.
15:08We just got married recently, so some travel.
15:12Maybe take some unpaid leave, go to Australia or South America, somewhere a bit further away.
15:18OK.
15:19Well, let's hope we can get you there.
15:21OK, so do you want to set your safety net at £4,000?
15:24No, thank you.
15:25Right, this is the question.
15:28Which of these famous Shakespeare lines is from Julius Caesar?
15:33A plague on both your houses.
15:36Beware the Ides of March.
15:39When shall we three meet again?
15:42All the world's a stage.
15:44So I'm pretty sure that the Ides of March is a Julius Caesar reference.
15:52Just checking, it's not which of these famous Shakespeare lines is not from Julius Caesar.
15:56OK, yeah.
15:57So I think I'll go for Beware the Ides of March.
16:00Final answer.
16:05Correct answer.
16:06I forgot to look but I knew it was so good.
16:11So, safety net at eight.
16:14No thank you.
16:15Here's the question.
16:17In cooking, what exactly are capers?
16:23Pickled flower buds, marinated olives, rolled vine leaves, dried green chillies.
16:33So I think I said on my background that I'm normally quite good at the cooking and food questions, so
16:40we'll put that to the test now.
16:43I'm not really a fan of capers, but I think that they're probably pickled flower buds.
16:49They taste a bit vinegary, like they're pickled.
16:55Well, I've got all my lifelines left, so I may as well just go with what my gut is telling
17:01me and not talk myself out of it.
17:04So, hopefully, I won't make a fool of myself and I'll say, pickled flower buds, final answer.
17:19You're right, that is the correct answer.
17:22Yeah, well done.
17:26Right, so, would you like to set your safety net at £16,000?
17:31No thank you.
17:32Righty-ho, this is the question.
17:35Which of these is closely associated with Hawaii, having been developed there in the 1880s based on instruments of Portuguese
17:45origin?
17:46Steel drum, ukulele, kazoo or washboard?
17:56The question is, do I talk through my thinking or do I try asking the audience?
18:09I think I'm going to ask the, hmm, sorry.
18:16Um...
18:16Yes, I'm going to ask the audience.
18:19Okey-doke.
18:20Audience, on your keypads, please.
18:24This is the question.
18:27Which of these is closely associated with Hawaii, having been developed there in the 1880s based on instruments of Portuguese
18:35origin?
18:36And if you'd all vote now, please.
18:51Well, that's a significant majority, 61% have gone for ukulele, 27% for the steel drum.
18:59Trivial numbers for kazoo and washboard.
19:01OK, excellent.
19:02That was what I was going to say, so I probably should have just stuck to my guns and said
19:06it.
19:06But I will go with the audience and with my initial visions of Hawaii.
19:12Your gut.
19:13And say ukulele, final answer.
19:18Well done, audience.
19:19Well done, you.
19:20That is the correct answer.
19:26So, safety net at 32?
19:28No, I will not set my safety net at 32,000.
19:31I'll try for one more, please.
19:32Okey-doke.
19:33Here is your £32,000 question.
19:38What's the largest living bird in the world?
19:43Common ostrich, great bustard, andae and condor, or emu?
19:52I feel like I've seen this question before.
19:58And I think that I had thought it was the emu and the correct answer was actually ostrich.
20:07Erm, because they're both quite, well, I think ostrich definitely has the largest egg in the world.
20:18Erm, so that makes me think it is probably ostrich.
20:31I don't think 50-50 would help.
20:33I don't think phoning a friend is necessarily worth it.
20:38I don't know what your thoughts on birds are.
20:41Erm, OK.
20:44I'm going to say common ostrich, final answer.
20:52You didn't ask me.
20:54I didn't ask you.
20:55Now, if you had asked me, I'd have been able to tell you without a moment's pause or hesitation.
21:00The answer is...
21:02..the common ostrich.
21:04Well done.
21:05That is a great answer.
21:09Yes, very good.
21:12Anyway, it's time to take a break.
21:14We'll be back in a few moments.
21:16See you then.
21:31I'll go back to Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
21:33We're here with Jen.
21:34She's on £32,000 and has three lifelines remaining, so doing very well.
21:40What would you say would be your favourite subjects?
21:44Well, I said earlier food and cooking, so luckily I got the capers question right.
21:49Erm, and I quite enjoy reading, but that's quite a broad field,
21:53so if literature comes up, I hope it's an area I've read and not one I haven't.
21:59Well, let's find out, shall we?
22:00First of all, though, would you like to set your safety net at £64,000?
22:05Yes, please.
22:05Yes, I would like to.
22:07OK, can we do that?
22:08Can we set the second safety net, please, at £64,000?
22:14Right, now, you've got to get there, of course.
22:15Yep.
22:16This is the question, hopefully, that will do that.
22:21Which of these countries is landlocked and completely surrounded by just one other country?
22:29Lesotho, Venezuela, Latvia or Jordan?
22:33I know that Lesotho is a small country within South Africa.
22:41Erm, just checking the others.
22:43So, Jordan is on the Red Sea and the Dead Sea, so it wouldn't be that.
22:50Venezuela in South America...
22:54I would assume, well, I don't think that would be right.
22:58Latvia in Eastern Europe...
23:02No, I don't think that's landlocked or completely surrounded by just one other country.
23:06OK.
23:07So, yeah.
23:09Erm, it's Lesotho?
23:11I'm not sure how to pronounce it, Lesotho?
23:13Erm, final answer.
23:15A.
23:17You know you weigh around an atlas and that is the correct answer.
23:20So, that gets you to your second safety net of £64,000.
23:29We haven't had the literature question yet.
23:31And there's always one.
23:32There is always one.
23:34So, this next question is for six figures.
23:40£125,000.
23:42This buys you a serious honeymoon.
23:45So, let's have a look at it, shall we?
23:49Which of these multiple winners of the Best Actor Oscar
23:53has only been nominated twice for the award, but won on both occasions?
24:00Sean Penn, Daniel Day-Lewis, Adrian Brodie or Anthony Hopkins?
24:11This, I think, is going to be a difficult question for me.
24:16Erm...
24:17I guess what I'm thinking is Anthony Hopkins has been around a while.
24:21He's probably been nominated more than twice for the award,
24:24because he's done...
24:26Erm...
24:27He's held quite, you know, starring roles in a lot of films.
24:34Sean Penn, Adrian Brodie, Daniel Day-Lewis.
24:39Well, I'm glad I set my safety net at £64,000.
24:42Mm.
24:43Because...
24:44This is not...
24:46One...
24:47Situation is...
24:48Yeah.
24:48That you have nothing to lose, you could take a pun, but you still have three lifelines.
24:54Yes.
24:55Erm...
24:55And if you know it not to be one of them, 50-50 is very useful.
24:58You've got phone a friend, you've got me.
25:02Erm...
25:02So, choices, choices.
25:05I think that...
25:07Using my 50-50 will be useful.
25:12So...
25:13I'd like to use the 50-50.
25:15Okey-doke.
25:16Computer, could you take away two wrong answers, please?
25:20Sean Penn and Adrian Brodie.
25:25Erm...
25:27Who do I think is most likely to have only been...
25:30But to win it...
25:31Win it both occasions?
25:40Erm...
25:40So, on the one hand, it would be a shame to go out without phoning my friends,
25:45because they've been so excited to have the phone-a-friend experience.
25:49So, it would be...
25:50It would be rude to them to not use them and not...
25:52Not have them have someone come to their house and, you know...
25:55But then you've got the dilemma of which one to phone.
25:58Which one to phone.
25:59I mean, I don't think...
25:59One of them down.
26:00Yeah.
26:01Yeah.
26:01Well, actually, if I phone neither of them, then actually maybe that's better,
26:04because they've both missed out.
26:08Erm...
26:08Suppose I could ask the host, but I'm not sure...
26:13If you now then say you know the answer and I've not asked you,
26:16that will feel a bit...
26:16Well, if you don't ask me, I'm going to tell you that I did know the answer
26:20once we found it out anyway, so you never know.
26:22Well, that's true.
26:23That is true.
26:23I'm just going to lie.
26:24Okay.
26:25Well, then I will...
26:27Then it seems like it's worth a try and I'll ask the host, please.
26:30Oh, you're going to ask the host after?
26:31Yeah.
26:32I'm going to put you to the test.
26:33Okay, right.
26:34So you definitely want to.
26:35Okay.
26:36Here's what I think.
26:38Now, I watched a documentary on Sean Penn the other day.
26:41Yeah?
26:42About Sean Penn.
26:43Okay.
26:44And I was amazed at how many very, very good films he's been in.
26:50As the best actor or as the best supporting actor?
26:53I just can't remember any scenes at all in that book where he's collecting an award.
27:00But then I can't even visualise Adrian Brody.
27:03Oh, God.
27:03He's very, like, brooding, I think, like, dark haired.
27:07What's he been in?
27:08I don't know.
27:09I'm very bad with films.
27:10Are you Sean Penn?
27:11Sean Penn?
27:11Oh, Adrian Brody.
27:12Sean Penn was married to Madonna.
27:14Yeah.
27:14And, um, he's an outstanding actor.
27:20I'm cross on myself because I like movies, but I'm afraid I don't know.
27:24And that is my final answer.
27:27Oh, no.
27:30From what you were saying, I feel like you were leaning towards Adrian Brody being the answer,
27:35even though you didn't say it because you focused a lot on Sean Penn and his amazing acting abilities.
27:44Um...
27:49Okay.
27:53Yeah, may as well give it a go.
27:55I guess we think Sean Penn has probably been nominated more than twice.
28:02So, on that basis, without that much certainty, I think I'll have to say, see Adrian Brody.
28:12Final answer.
28:15Okay.
28:16Computer, could you, um, reveal the correct answer, please?
28:21Oh!
28:22You!
28:25Well done, you.
28:28Well done, you.
28:32Well done, you.
28:49For having the gumption to go with that.
28:53We got there in the end.
28:54We did.
28:54And now it's competition time and a chance for you at home to win £20,000 tonight.

29:59Welcome back to Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
30:02Competition is now closed.
30:04Head to the website to find out the winner.
30:07Right.
30:08On with the show.
30:09When we left the action, Jen was on £125,000 and still has a lifeline remaining.
30:18Phone a friend.
30:19So this question, I love saying this, is for a quarter of a million pounds.
30:27Shall we have a look at it?
30:29Yes, please.
30:30Okey-doke.
30:30Here it comes.
30:33Which figure in Greek mythology was cursed to utter true prophecies that were never believed?
30:42Cassandra?
30:44Ariadna?
30:45Pandora?
30:47Or Andromeda?
30:49I know the answer to this, which is quite shocking at £250,000.
30:54Although I need to not be too...
30:55I need to be humble in case I get it wrong.
30:58But I'm fairly certain it's Cassandra.
31:01That she was the seer who was cursed to utter true prophecies that were never believed.
31:06I'm gonna run through the others just to check my memory.
31:11Ariadna?
31:12I think she was a...
31:14Like a weaver who got turned into a spider?
31:18And Pandora is Pandora's box.
31:21Kind of letting out the evils into the world.
31:24Andromeda I can't quite remember but...
31:26Yeah, I'm pretty certain Cassandra is the seer.
31:30The seer Cassandra.
31:31Yeah.
31:31I'm gonna say...
31:33For £250,000 I'm gonna say Cassandra, final answer.
31:40You get that wrong.
31:42You lose £61,000.
31:45And the respect of my husband.
31:46Yeah.
31:49But you didn't get it wrong.
31:51That is the right answer.
31:53You just won a quarter of a million pounds.
31:58Wow.
32:00How...
32:01I hate the question how do you feel.
32:04But I've...
32:05Actually I'd love to know what does it feel like when you sat down there what half an hour ago?
32:10Not even that.
32:10I can't believe it.
32:12I didn't think I would get this far.
32:13And to have a question come up and know the answer before the answer comes up.
32:17That's the question.
32:17I mean what does your heart do when you think I actually know the answer to that?
32:20It was actually fairly calm, surprisingly.
32:23It's more stressful when you don't know the answer.
32:26That's a good answer.
32:27That's a good answer.
32:28That's a very good answer.
32:28The one on the Oscars, it was, yeah, beat it away.
32:31No.
32:31Right now.
32:32Mmm.
32:33Mmm.
32:37This is for half a million pounds.
32:41You're only two questions away now from winning a million.
32:45Let's have a look, shall we?
32:49According to Guinness World Records, which of these has travelled at over 260 miles an hour during a competitive game
32:58or match?
33:01Tennis ball, ice hockey puck, badminton shuttlecock or table tennis ball?
33:10Okay.
33:11Interesting.
33:12So I know that when they're serving in tennis, they always flash up the serve speed.
33:21And I would think that probably your service is the fastest that the ball would travel.
33:29And I feel like that gets up to the high 100s, but I'm not sure about over 260.
33:39An ice hockey puck.
33:41I mean, that's going over ice and is quite aggressive.
33:48It moves quite fast.
33:50Hampton shuttlecock, it's a table tennis ball.
33:52I mean, a table tennis, that feels unreasonable for a table tennis ball.
33:55They've just got those tiny little brackets, don't they?
33:58You probably can't get too much.
34:00It does go quite fast, though.
34:01I'm sure that all of these have gone very fast.
34:06And just one of them has gone over 260 miles an hour.
34:15So I'm probably going to use my phone a friend.
34:21I, yes, I'd like to use my phone a friend, please.
34:23Okay, who are we calling?
34:25We're calling Chris.
34:28Chris.
34:28So can we call Chris, please?
34:31Do you want me to say how much this is for?
34:34Yeah, sure.
34:36Who is Chris?
34:37Chris is my dad.
34:38Oh, my God.
34:42All right.
34:46Hi, it's Chris.
34:47Hi, Chris.
34:48Jeremy Clarkson here from Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
34:51Hello, Jeremy.
34:52Good to hear from you.
34:53Yes, I'll bet it is.
34:55Right.
34:56Two bits of good news.
34:57Jen is in the chair, which is why I'm calling you.
35:01But first of all, can I check you have someone from our team there
35:04to make sure you're not cheating?
35:07Yep, I have Roger here who's filming me now.
35:09Okay, good.
35:10Now, Chris, she's going to ask you a question in a minute,
35:16and it's worth half a million quid.
35:19Oh, good, good.
35:23You're calmer than your daughter, I'll tell you that.
35:26Anyway, listen, Jen.
35:27She's got a good laugh, hasn't she?
35:29Yeah, she laughs a lot.
35:30It's very good fun having her here.
35:32It's cheerful.
35:34Yes.
35:35Right, Jen, here's how it works.
35:37In a second, I'll hand it over to you.
35:38You'll have 30 seconds, a really short amount of time,
35:41to read out that long question and the four possible answers,
35:44leaving your dad enough time to have a think.
35:46Okay.
35:47I really mean this.
35:48Best of luck.
35:49Your time starts now.
35:52Which of these set a Guinness World Record
35:54for going over 260 miles per hour during a competitive match?
35:58A, tennis ball.
36:00B, ice hockey puck.
36:02C, badminton shuttlecock.
36:04Or D, table tennis ball.
36:0517 seconds.
36:07Erm, I don't know.
36:09I would think not shuttlecock or table tennis.
36:12I think not tennis ball.
36:13Maybe ice hockey puck?
36:15Puck.
36:16Any idea?
36:17Five seconds.
36:18They serve about 120, 130 miles an hour, don't they?
36:24Yeah.
36:25Once again, people not realising five seconds is the blink of an eye, basically.
36:29But I think that was helpful.
36:30I think that was helpful.
36:30No, no, it was helpful for sure.
36:31God, but now I need to decide whether to walk with the money.
36:34Oh, no.
36:36Okay, you're now completely on your own.
36:37You've no more life life.
36:39And if you get this wrong, if you go for it and get it wrong, you lose £186,000.
36:47Oh, I forgot about this part where I have to just...
36:49I forgot about the walking part where you can choose to go with £250,000.
36:53You can go home with a quarter of a million.
36:56I agree.
36:56I think a tennis ball, they serve...
36:58They're serving in the, like, mid-100s range.
37:03He said it's not shuttlecock or table tennis ball.
37:06But if I answer and it's wrong, then I've lost a lot of money.
37:12Yes.
37:14You'd be going home with £64,000, but you'd know that you did at one point have a quarter of
37:19a million.
37:22So I've been to an ice hockey game.
37:25It went when I was visiting a friend in Dallas.
37:29The puck does move very quickly, right?
37:32Because it's, like, it's small, it's aerodynamic and it's going over ice,
37:40which, speeding it up rather than slowing it down, is that...
37:43Is going over ice better than going through air?
37:46I'm not sure.
37:47It feels like it would be.
37:55It's a really difficult decision right now.
37:59I'll bet.
38:04The question is, would I be more annoyed at giving it a go
38:09and getting it wrong?
38:12Or...
38:12Well, see, not giving it a go, I still have £250,000.
38:17Whereas giving it a go and getting it wrong, then I've, you know...
38:20I've made the most of my time in this seat.
38:23But I've not necessarily got much to show for it.
38:30But...
38:36My heart's beating out of my ribcage.
38:38They're so...
38:39Do you remember, though, losing, get it wrong, you do lose £186,000.
38:46Um, OK.
38:49I think...
38:50I think...
38:51I think I'm going to give it a go.
38:54I don't know.
38:55The reaction from the audience has put me off, guys.
38:57Sorry enough.
38:58I've kept you...
38:58There it is.
38:59Kept you thinking for a while.
39:01Um...
39:02I don't know, maybe someone's sitting there thinking,
39:03I know this and it's a different answer.
39:11Um...
39:12260 miles an hour is very fast.
39:19Let's just...
39:20Yeah, let's give it a go.
39:21£64,000 is...
39:22Oh, it's such a silly...
39:25£64,000 is still a nice amount of money.
39:27£250,000 is pretty life-changing, though.
39:30Half a million?
39:35Sigh...
39:36OK.
39:41For half a million pounds...
39:46I'm going to say...
39:48Ice hockey puck.
39:50Final answer.
39:52Oh, God, the audience!
39:58It's fine if it's wrong.
40:01It is wrong.
40:03Oh.
40:04Shuttlecock!
40:05Oh, my God.
40:06You've just lost...
40:08Well, that's fine.
40:09£186,000.
40:11But I've also won £64,000.
40:15You have.
40:16I mean, you're right.
40:20You have.
40:24Um...
40:25They are very...
40:27They are very light and aerodynamic, aren't they?
40:29What's...
40:30What's staggering me is the correct answer is a badminton shuttlecock.
40:36They are very aerodynamic, aren't they?
40:38But you've got to...
40:39I'm really...
40:40That is unbelievable that it's...
40:42That it's a badminton shuttlecock.
40:44It's also unbelievable you took a punt on that.
40:48Well...
40:49You need...
40:49A bravery award for that.
40:51You really genuinely did it.
40:53Ladies and gentlemen, a truly great competitor.
40:57Jen Esri-Lilakakis.
40:59A truly great contender.
41:02It's unbelievable.
41:04Enjoy what you've got, though.
