00:00These four people have never met before, but by working as a team, they have the chance to win thousands of pounds.
00:05There's just one thing standing in their way.
00:08The chaser.
00:10The chase is on.
00:19Hello and welcome to The Chase.
00:21Today's team of four total strangers believe they have what it takes to beat one of Britain's finest quiz brains and take home thousands of pounds.
00:28Well, do they?
00:29Let's meet them.
00:31I'm Teresa.
00:32I'm 52.
00:32I'm a credit controller from Northwich in Cheshire.
00:35I'm Daryl.
00:36I'm 44 and I'm a firefighter from Huddersfield.
00:39I'm Jill.
00:40I'm 59.
00:41I'm a HR director from Bolton.
00:44I'm Shahab.
00:45I'm 40.
00:46I'm a journalist from London.
00:47And good luck to the team.
00:49So one by one, they've got to win as much money as they can, bring it safely down the table and into the team prize fund.
00:55But hunting them down every step of the way is the chaser.
00:58Anyone who gets caught loses their money and is out of the game.
01:00Make it back safely though and they go through to the final chase for the chance to win an equal share of the total prize fund.
01:06And first to face the chaser, it's Teresa.
01:08Welcome to the show.
01:13From Cheshire.
01:14Yes.
01:14What part?
01:15Northwich in Cheshire near Manchester.
01:17I know it very well.

01:18Now, hobbies.
01:19Do a bit of psychic reading.
01:21A bit of a psychic medium.
01:22Ah.
01:23Now then.
01:24Any ideas about the chaser?
01:26What will you do to them?
01:28Intimidation?
01:28Oh, quite possibly, yes.
01:29I read the tarot cards this morning.
01:31Did you?
01:31Yeah.
01:32Are you allowed to tell us what?
01:33No.
01:33Only after the facts?
01:34I'll only tell you after the facts.
01:36Really?
01:36Yeah.
01:36I'll look forward to that.
01:37Now, if you want some money, what would you do with it?
01:40I was going to buy a sofa before the sales finished, but my car failed its MOT, so I need to put that right.
01:45Yes, indeed you do.
01:47Well, let's get a sofa, let's get a car, and let's intimidate none of the chasers, shall we?
01:50Definitely.
01:51Whoever that may be.
01:52Quickfire questions against the club.
01:54Each correct answer is worth £1,000, yeah?
01:55Okay.

03:04All we've got to do now, Teresa, is get you and that 7,000 through to the final chase.
03:09It's time to face the chaser.
03:10But who will he be up against today?
03:13Will it be Mark Lebet?
03:15If it is, I would say head for the exit, except he's probably blocking it.
03:19Or will it be Sean Wallace?
03:21If Savile Row had a quiz team, he'd be the captain.
03:24Or would it be Anne Hegarty?
03:26Forget the Queen of Mean.
03:27She's the mistress of distress.
03:29Now, who do you fancy taking on?
03:31More to the point.
03:32See, this is psychic now.
03:33Who do you think you've got?
03:35One of them three.
03:36I like what you did for that.
03:38Let's find out, shall we?
03:39It's time to face the chaser.
03:44Oh, it's the dark destroyer himself, mastermind champ, barrister, Sean Wallace.
03:52Good afternoon, Teresa.
03:53Good afternoon, Sean.
03:54I thought you were psychic.
03:56I am.
03:56You should have realised it was me then, shouldn't you?
03:58I said it was one of you three.
03:59Anyway, listen, enough chit-chat.
04:01Let's put some money on the table.
04:02It's 7,000 pounds.
04:04You can change your starting position.
04:06If you wish to take a step closer to home, the chaser will offer you...
04:091,000 pounds.
04:10If you wish to take a step closer to the chaser, he will offer you...
04:13You should see it is coming.
04:1522,000 pounds.
04:16Very good.
04:17Have a chat with your team.
04:19What do you think, team?
04:20Well, it's a really attractive offer, obviously, the higher amount.
04:24But we're just starting out.
04:25Perhaps it might be wiser to play conservatively.
04:28See what kind of form Sean is in today.
04:31I think you just go the way you feel.
04:32She had a great start there.
04:35I'm with Shahab.
04:36I think you should go with the 7,000.
04:38It's a nice, steady start.
04:39See where we go from there.
04:40Thank you, team.
04:42So, Theresa, what'll it be?
04:45I'm going to go for the 7.
04:47I'd like to get back in there.
04:50And I think for the first one, I think I'm not going to be gambling.
04:53Fine.
04:54Take the odds away, chaser.
04:55I knew you were going to do that.
04:57Right, 7,000 it is.
04:59Let's get that money home, shall we?
05:01You will answer the same questions at the same time as the chaser.
05:03If you get a question right, you will take a step closer to home.
05:06However, if you get a question wrong, you will stay where you are,
05:08giving the chaser the chance to close the gap.
05:10If you get caught, the money is gone, Theresa, and you will be out of the game.
05:14Good luck for 7,000 pounds.
05:16The chase is on.
05:21Here comes the first question.
05:25The Blue Oyster Bar was a regular feature of which comedy film series?
05:30A, Austin Powers, B, Police Academy, or C, The Naked Gun?
05:38You put Police Academy.
05:41You know this?
05:42No.
05:42It's a guess.
05:43Yeah.
05:44Fine.
05:44Straight away, we'll find out.
05:45The correct answer is?
05:48Well played.
05:49Police Academy it is.
05:50Oh, dear.
05:52The chaser has put?
05:54Got it wrong.
05:55Great stuff.
05:56That is a good start.
05:57Already begging the question, should we have gone for the 22?
06:01How did you get that wrong?
06:03I foresaw it.
06:05Here's the next question.
06:08Which seaside town's opera house is the UK's largest theatre?
06:12Is it A, Torquay, B, Scarborough, C, Blackpool?
06:19You've put Blackpool.
06:21Happy with that?
06:23Yes.
06:23100%.
06:24100%.
06:2599%.
06:25Correct answer is?
06:29Blackpool.
06:30It is indeed.
06:32Very good.
06:33Step closer to home.
06:34The chaser has put?
06:37Scarborough got it wrong.
06:38That is shocking.
06:39Tarot cards are wrong this morning.
06:41Were they?
06:41Yeah.
06:42What did they say?
06:43A bit closer than this.
06:45Really?
06:45Well, we haven't finished yet.
06:47Here's the next question.
06:50Which of these TV police detectives was played by George Baker?
06:54Is it A, Wexford, B, Rebus, or C, Wycliffe?
06:59You've put?
07:01Wexford.
07:01Happy with that?
07:02Yes.
07:03100%.
07:03Correct answer is?
07:04We're romping home.
07:07Two from home.
07:08I think he's probably got this right.
07:09The chaser has put?
07:12The chaser's put Morse, and that isn't even up there.
07:16Oh, at last.
07:17You've got one right.
07:18Where have you been?
07:19We're down here.
07:21All the way down here.
07:23I'll get closer.
07:24Yeah, you will, won't you?
07:26We're home and dry here, mate.
07:27Here's the next question.
07:30What nationality was the composer Johan Sebastian Bach,
07:33A, German, B, Austrian, C, Swiss?
07:39You've put?
07:42Austrian.
07:43That's a guess, isn't it?
07:45It's an educated guess.
07:46It was between two.
07:48Which was the other one?
07:49Swiss.
07:50Right.
07:50Sure he's not German?
07:51No.
07:52Fine.
07:52Correct answer is?
07:57Staying where you are.
07:58The chaser has put?
08:01Yes, German.
08:02It starts creeping down the boards.
08:04Born 1685, died I believe 1750, and he had 20 children.
08:08Should have wrote some more songs.
08:10Here's the next question.
08:13Frank Bruno's first professional defeat was by which American boxer?
08:17A, Iron Mike Tyson, B, James Bonecrusher Smith, or C, Terrible Tim Witherspoon?
08:24You've put?
08:29Mike Tyson.
08:31Happy with that?
08:31Boxing fan?
08:32No, I haven't a clue.
08:33Hmm.
08:34Correct answer is?
08:37Yeah, Bonecrusher Smith.
08:38And once again, you stay where you are.
08:40He will know this.
08:41The chaser has put?
08:42And ominously comes creeping down the board.
08:47Frank was a very, very good boxer.
08:49I liked him.
08:50Yeah.
08:50Very underrated.
08:51He was very good.
08:52It's a shame when he knocked Tyson in the first round of the fight, he should have followed
08:56it up.
08:56Took him out.
08:57He almost took him out.
08:57Almost did.
08:58I remember Harry Carpenter screaming.
08:59Get in there, Frank.
09:00I know, we were all around the TV.
09:02It was a great night.
09:03It was a great night.
09:04And he's a lovely man.
09:05Hope you're watching, Frank.
09:07Here's the next question.
09:10Musca domestica is the scientific name for which creature?
09:14A, a peppered moth, B, a field mouse, or C, housefly?
09:22You've put housefly.
09:25Do you know this?
09:26No, but I'm going on the domestica.
09:28Okay, let's have a look.
09:29Correct answer is, well played.
09:33What a great guess that was.
09:35In touching distance of home now, the chaser has put, also housefly.
09:41Here's the next question.
09:44Acquire is a measure of what?
09:48A, hay, B, paper, C, whiskey.
09:54You've put, paper.
09:57Yes, happy with that.
09:58Happy with that?
09:59Yes.
09:59Right, now there's a couple you didn't know, and a few you knew, and what you've done basically
10:04is thrown away, what was it, 22 grand?
10:0722,000.
10:09Oh, Theresa.
10:10True.
10:11Let's see, though.
10:13Correct answer is?
10:16Yes, straight through, Britt.
10:17Yes, she says.
10:19All close.
10:20Great start.
10:22Very good.
10:22Chaser.
10:23Played very well.
10:24Look forward to seeing you in the final round.
10:26Indeed.
10:26Take your place in the final chase.
10:28Thank you very much, Theresa.
10:29Excellent stuff.
10:30Excellent stuff.
10:31Although I do foresee at the end a chaser victory.
10:34You do?
10:34I do.
10:35Well, first victory for the team.
10:38Theresa goes through.
10:39Is it on the cards that Daryl will follow suit?
10:41Find out after the break.

10:48So, second up, Theresa to Dwell, seven grand.
10:51Very well.
10:51Can you follow in our footsteps?
10:53I hope so.
10:54Let's see what we do.
10:54Yeah, indeed.
10:55Firefighter.
10:56Yes.
10:56That is hard work.
10:57Any near misses?
10:59Over the years, one or two, yeah.
11:00Very close, a few times, yeah.
11:01Yeah, well, I'm sure everyone watching is grateful to all you guys doing all that stuff.
11:05That's just wonderful.
11:06No, I really mean it.
11:07Listen, if you want some money, what would you do with it?
11:09Take up some flying lessons.
11:10I had a chance a few years ago, and I'd like to take it a bit further.

11:13Yeah.
11:14Fantastic stuff.
11:15Anyway, listen, enough chit-chat.

12:54Hi, Daryl.
12:56Hello.

13:08No, you're right, you don't.
13:09Let's put your £2,000 there, mate.

13:37You can go for it.
13:39Do you have?
13:39Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, Sean.

13:54What'll it be?
13:55I'm on here once, so I'm going for the big one.
13:57I'll go for the 20.
13:58Good man, man.

14:01Chaser.
14:01Good man.
14:02Looking forward to this.
14:03Daryl, for £20,000, the chase is on.
14:12I wish you luck.
14:13I really do.
14:14Here comes your first question.

14:22A. Julius Caesar.
14:24B. King Lear.
14:25C. Richard III.
14:31You have put...
14:33Richard III.
14:35You a Shakespeare fan?
14:37No.
14:38That's the end of that, then.
14:40The correct answer is...
14:41The correct answer is...
14:42Mmm, Julius Caesar.
14:46Oh, don't like that.
14:47Got to stay there.
14:48Does he know it?
14:49The chaser has put...
14:51Yes, he has and comes immediately onto the table.
14:56It's my favourite play.
14:57Is it really?
14:57Mm-hmm.
14:58Right.
14:58Oh, my finger out here.
15:01Yeah.
15:01Yeah.
15:02Got to get this right.
15:04Here's the next question.
15:05Geophagy means eating what?
15:10A. Grass.
15:11B. Worms.
15:13C. Earth.
15:19You've put...
15:20Yeah.
15:22Earth.
15:22Geo.
15:23Geo.
15:23Yeah.
15:24Got to be, isn't it?
15:25The correct answer is...
15:27Yes.
15:29Step closer to home.
15:31Let's see what the chaser put.
15:33Yeah, he knows his stuff.
15:34Oh, it's like it with custard.
15:38Here's the next question.
15:39What is measured on the Mohs scale?
15:43A. Hardness of minerals.
15:45B. Thickness of glass.
15:47Or C. Brightness of stars.
15:54You have put...
15:56Brightness of stars.
15:59What made you put that?
16:01Er, a guess.
16:03It really is a guess.
16:04It's quite an obscure question.
16:05Yeah.
16:06I'm glad I'm not in your position.
16:07The correct answer is...
16:11Ouch.
16:13Arness of minerals.
16:14It's got to stay where we are.
16:15This has got to be wrong.
16:16We want the chaser to be wrong.
16:18For us to hang on to the 20 grand and stay in the game.
16:20The chaser has put...
16:22Be wrong.
16:26Oh.
16:30Brave going for the 20 grand.
16:31Really, really brave, but...
16:33I have to do it with two grand in the pot.
16:34I have to go for the big one.
16:35No, I don't blame you at all.
16:37I really don't.
16:37Chaser?
16:38The Mohs scale?
16:39What's that?
16:39It's named after a German mineralologist called Mohs.
16:43And it's minerals from one to ten.
16:45One is talc.
16:46And ten is diamond.
16:47Oh, in hardness.
16:48Yes.
16:49I see.
16:49Thank you very much for that.
16:51It's also an eleventh.
16:53It's called Sean Wallace, the chaser.
16:54He's not very funny, is he?
16:58He's a laugh a month, isn't he?
16:59He is, yeah.
17:01Daryl, I'm very sorry.
17:02You have been caught.
17:03And for you, the chase is over.
17:06See you soon.
17:09Well, you made short work of that.
17:11Well, I'm slowly getting into form, Jill and Shahab.
17:16Looking forward to it.
17:17Absolutely.
17:18Jill says she's looking forward to it.
17:20Well, next on face of the chaser is Jill.
17:26Hi, Jill.
17:27Hi.
17:27From Bolton.
17:28That's it, yes.
17:29Yes.
17:30If you won some money, Jill, what would you do with it?
17:33I like to travel.
17:34Yeah.
17:34And the big aim is to do all the states in the United States.
17:38Oh.
17:38I've only done 14 so far, so I have a way to go.
17:41Yeah.
17:42And I'm not getting any younger, so I need to get more money so I can do it quicker.
17:45Yeah, well, I wish you luck.
17:46Yeah.
17:46Let's see if we can get some money to make that dream come true, shall we?
17:49No.

18:57Out of time.
18:58Did great.
18:59£8,000.
18:59That's all right, isn't it?
19:02Yeah, it's a good start.
19:03I think it's a very good start.
19:04I really do.
19:05All we've got to do is keep hold of it now.
19:07It's time to face the chaser.
19:20Good afternoon, Jill.
19:21He's smiling.
19:23He is?
19:24I'm impressed by that top.
19:25That's why.
19:26You can borrow it if you want.
19:28Hmm.
19:28£8,000.
19:29Not bad.
19:30Not bad at all.
19:31Just like Tarita.
19:32Yeah.
19:32Bit of a dark horse, you two.
19:34Good start.
19:35Right.
19:36Let's put some money on the table, shall we?
19:38If you want to take a step closer to home, though, the chaser will offer you...
19:41£2,000.
19:43Hmm.
19:44But if you want to take a step closer to the chaser, he will offer you...
19:47£25.
19:49£25,000.
19:50£25,000.
19:51Oh, you're trying to tempt me, aren't you?
19:53£25,000.
19:54That's not bad.
19:55Have a chat with the rest of the guys.
19:57What do you think, guys?
19:58Well, Jill, that's a good offer, but we've just lost Daryl, and I think bums on seats is
20:04much better than a gap right here.
20:07So I take the middle amount.
20:09We need to show him what us girls can do, and I think £8,000 is more than enough.
20:14Okay.
20:14Right.
20:15Let's see.
20:16Fair enough.
20:17But it's your decision, though, Jill.
20:18No, I know, I know.
20:19I think £2,000 is really mean.
20:22£25 is good, but I'm going to stick with the £8 and hope I can go all the way home with
20:26it.
20:27Good.
20:27£8,000 it is, then.
20:29Chaser.
20:30I'm disappointed with that, Jill.
20:31Weren't you the person earlier saying that you should go for the higher offer?
20:34Yeah, but that was different now.
20:35You know, you have to change as the game goes along.
20:38We have to be prepared, and we are prepared.
20:41Let's hope you are.
20:42We are.
20:43Preparation, preparation, and preparation.
20:45He's giving me the eye there.
20:46He is.
20:46Don't worry about that.
20:48Are you ready, Jill?
20:48Ready as ever.
20:49For £8,000, the chase is on.
20:57Good luck.
20:58Here comes the first question.
21:01Los Angeles stands on the edge of what desert?
21:05A, the Mojave, B, Black Rock, or C, the Painted?
21:12You've travelled all over the state so far.
21:14You should know this.
21:15The chase you have put?
21:17Mojave.
21:18Happy with that?
21:19Fish.
21:20Oh.
21:21You've been to Los Angeles?
21:23No.
21:23You've not been to California?
21:24You won't believe this.
21:25We're going next week.
21:26Oh, are you?
21:28Oops.
21:28Oh, well, let's see.
21:30The correct answer is?
21:33Yes, of course it is.
21:35Mojave Desert is absolutely right.
21:36And step closer to home.
21:37It's a good start.
21:38The chase has put.
21:39Yeah, he knows that as well and comes immediately onto the table.
21:44I believe the Painted Desert is in Arizona, I think.
21:47Oh, right.
21:49Here's your next question.
21:49Which of these former Liverpool footballers has not gone on to manage the club?
21:56A, Kenny Dalglish, B, Graham Souness, or C, John Toschak?
22:02You put.
22:05John Toschak.
22:06Happy with that?
22:07Yeah, happy, I think.
22:09I think I'm happy with that, yeah.
22:10Quite confident?
22:11No.
22:12Correct answer is?
22:16Yeah, John Toschak, you're doing great.
22:18The chase has put.
22:21Mmm, big Tosh.
22:23I'm very impressed.
22:23A woman who knows her football.
22:25Yeah, that is good.
22:26That's very impressive.
22:27So in Bolton.
22:28Oh, well.
22:32Here's your next question.
22:34Which of these odds is the shortest?
22:37A, 3 to 1.
22:39B, 11 to 4.
22:41Or C, 100 to 30.
22:47You've put.
22:493 to 1.
22:51Happy with that?
22:52No.
22:53You think you made a mistake?
22:54Yeah.
22:55Which should it be then?
22:5611 to 4, I think.
22:57Mmm.
22:59Correct answer is?
23:01Yeah, you were right.
23:0211 to 4.
23:04Stupid, stupid mistake, Matt.
23:07Mmm, mmm.
23:08Stay where we are.
23:10The chaser has put.
23:11There we are.
23:14Yeah, it's 11 to 4.
23:15Suddenly the odds are getting shorter.
23:17They are, indeed.
23:17This is true.
23:18Here's the next question.
23:20Which of these Carry On films was released first?
23:23Was it A, Carry On Columbus?
23:24B, Carry On Constable?
23:26Or C, Carry On Matron?
23:28You've put, Carry On Constable.
23:33That was the first film, was it?
23:34It was the first ever one, wasn't it?
23:35I think it was, yeah.
23:36Wasn't it?
23:37I do.
23:38I think it was.
23:39I love questions like this.
23:41Correct answer is?
23:44Yes, brilliant.
23:45Step closer to home.
23:46The chaser has put.
23:47Yes.
23:51It wasn't, actually.
23:51Wasn't it?
23:52What was it?
23:52Carry On Sergeant was the first one.
23:54Oh, Carry On Sergeant.
23:56I know it was something to do with the police.
23:58That's good.
23:58And Carry On Columbus was the 31st in the series.
24:02Oh, right.
24:03Oh, that was the one about ten.
24:04In 1992.
24:04Yeah.
24:04Jim Dale.
24:05Yeah, Jim Dale, of course.
24:07Here's the next question.
24:09In Bagpuss, what creature was Professor Yaffle?
24:14A, a mouse.
24:15B, a bird.
24:16C, a toad.
24:19You put.
24:21Bird.
24:23Happy with that?
24:24Never seen Bagpuss.
24:25Never read it.
24:26No idea.
24:27It's a guess.
24:29Well, why not?
24:30Correct answer is?
24:32Step closer to home.
24:36Let's see what the chaser put.
24:39Yeah, a bird.
24:40Yes, yaffle is another word for woodpecker.
24:42That's very good.
24:43I like that.
24:44Here's what I'm hoping is going to be your last question.
24:47That means you've got it right and you're through to the final chase.
24:50Which Rolling Stones album cover is based on an Andy Warhol design?
24:55A, Beggar's Banquet, B, Exile on Main Street, or C, Sticky Fingers?
25:00Yes.
25:03You've put.
25:06Sticky Fingers.
25:08Is this a guess?
25:10It's as good an answer as any.
25:12Well, providing it's the right one.
25:14This is true.
25:15You've put Sticky Fingers.
25:17If this is right, we're going through with £8,000.
25:21Do you think it's right, Jill?
25:24No idea.
25:25Honestly.
25:25No idea.
25:27Let's get to it, shall we?
25:28Yeah, yeah.
25:29But not till after the break, eh?
25:31Oh!
25:31Oh, welcome back.
25:36Jill, is one question away from going through to the final chase?
25:41The question before the break was, which Rolling Stones album cover is based on an Andy Warhol design?
25:46Now, Jill said it was Sticky Fingers.
25:49If that's right, we're going through with £8,000.
25:51Take up to £15,000 in the total prize fund.
25:54Cross your fingers for Sticky Fingers.
25:57Is Sticky Fingers the correct answer?
26:01Yes.
26:01Yes.
26:02Come on, give us a smile.
26:12Lissabal has sinned.
26:13Take no notice, Jill.
26:14Congratulations.
26:15Cheers.
26:16Take your place next to Theresa in the final chase.
26:21Suddenly, it's a bit of a challenge on now.
26:23Yeah.
26:23I think they've got half a team.
26:25And I'll tell you something else, mate.
26:27Shahab.
26:28I think he knows his stuff.
26:30I'm looking forward to this.
26:32Next up, it's Shahab.
26:37Right then.
26:38So, I think you know your stuff.
26:41Well, we'll see.
26:42You're a journalist?
26:43I am.
26:43What sort of things?
26:44Well, I've done a lot of different stuff.
26:45I've done war reporting.
26:47I've been a television anchor.
26:48So, I've done the whole gamut, the whole spectrum.
26:51Great, great stuff.
26:52Now, if you were to win some money, Shahab, what would you do with it?
26:54Well, I promised my wife a honeymoon, and I never delivered.
26:58So, she doesn't know I'm here.
27:01So, when the show airs, I am going to produce tickets, and I'm going to say, that is what this money bought.
27:08Well, crikey, Shahab, that's a tall order.
27:11You've got to win it first, mate.
27:12We'll do our best.
27:13Let's see.
27:14I wish you luck.
27:15Let's build up some cash as quick as we can.

28:24£9,000.
28:25That was great.
28:26Come on, Charve.
28:27Let's take on the chaser.
28:42I've been waiting for this.
28:43So have I.
28:44And Sean, I love you.
28:45I really appreciate you and I think you are the best of the chasers.
28:49I want to pit my wits against the best and that's you.
28:52So let's do it.
28:54Cool character.
28:55Very good.
28:56But flattery will get him nowhere.
28:58We shall see.
28:59Now then.
29:00Here we go.
29:019,000 smackers.
29:02There it is.
29:03Nice.
29:03If you want to.
29:04Oh, that's lovely, mate.
29:05Really, congratulations with that.
29:06However, if you want to take a step closer to home, the chaser will offer you.
29:09I'm going to divide it by three.
29:11£3,000.
29:13If you want to take a step closer to the chaser, he will offer you.
29:16Because I think you're so good.
29:17I'm now going to multiply it by three.
29:20£27,000.
29:24Right.
29:25Have a chat with your team.
29:27Well, team, what do you think?
29:28That would be a good honeymoon, that one.
29:32Well, you know, the nine would come home and if, when we get through, divided by three, you know.
29:38You've got a decent pot.
29:40Nine on top of the £15,000.
29:41That's £24,000.
29:42I think you can do it, but I don't want to push you.
29:45I know what I'm going to do.
29:46Good.
29:47Right, Shahab, come on, mate.
29:50What do you think?
29:51Your decision.
29:52Well, I've always said that I thought the multiplier had to be at least three to make it worthwhile.
29:57But I've got two lovely ladies sitting back there.
29:59I also want to take some money home.
30:01I think they can help me to do that, so I'm going to take the nine.
30:03Fair enough.
30:04Good decision.
30:05Nine it is.
30:06Chaser.
30:07Understandable.
30:08Disappointing, because I think it would have been a really good match.
30:10It's going to be a good match.
30:11And I'm looking forward to it.
30:12Yeah, me too.
30:13It's going to be one outcome, though.
30:15I'm going to win, I know.
30:17We have riled him.
30:19Shahab, for £9,000, the chase is on.
30:28Good luck.
30:29Here comes the first question.
30:30Pertussis is the medical term for which condition?
30:36A, whooping cough, B, glandular fever, or C, mumps.
30:40You've put.
30:46Whooping cough.
30:46Happy with that?
30:47Yeah, I am.
30:47Straight away.
30:48Correct answer is?
30:51Yes, it is.
30:52Whooping cough.
30:52Step closer to home.
30:53The chaser has put.
30:57Yeah, whooping cough as well.
30:58Move on to the next question.
30:59No point in hanging around.
31:02Gladiatorial battle going on.
31:03Which member of the royal family wrote the children's book, The Old Man of Lough Nagar?
31:09Is it A, Prince Charles, B, Princess Anne, or C, Prince Andrew?
31:13Right.
31:19You have put.
31:20Prince Charles.
31:22You know this?
31:23I'm absolutely positive it's Prince Charles, and he knows it too.
31:26Correct answer is?
31:28You need confidences brimming down here.
31:31The chaser has put.
31:34Yeah, Prince Charles it is.
31:36With such confidence, you've just cost yourself possibly 18,000 pounds.
31:40Not at all, not at all.
31:41You're arguing yourself out of a case, sir.
31:43Are you a QC yet?
31:44Not yet.
31:45That explains it.
31:46Here's the next question.
31:49Great Britain's dye green won which event at the 2010 European Athletics Championships?
31:55A, long jump.
31:57B, 110 metres hurdles.
31:59Or C, 400 metres hurdles.
32:03You put.
32:06400 metres hurdles.
32:08Not, not so sure on this one.
32:09I think it's a hurdles event, but not sure.
32:11Certainly not the long jump.
32:13Correct answer is?
32:16Well played.
32:17Very good.
32:19The chaser has put.
32:21Yeah, he knows his stuff.
32:23Hopefully he will repeat defeat in 2012.
32:26I hope so.
32:28Here's the next question.
32:29Who campaigned for the US presidency with legislative programme he called the New Frontier?
32:36A, Franklin D. Roosevelt.
32:38B, Lyndon B. Johnson.
32:40C, John F. Kennedy.
32:44You put.
32:45It's another gift.
32:47Another gift?
32:47Absolutely.
32:48It's just like Christmas all at once, isn't it?
32:49It is.
32:50They're coming rolling down the table at us.
32:51We love it.
32:54The correct answer is?
32:59John F. Kennedy.
33:01The chaser has put.
33:04Again, closing in.
33:05You have to stay where you are.
33:06With that, he closes down the table.
33:08Here's the next question.
33:09What creature is featured on the logos of Porsche and Ferrari?
33:15A, a horse.
33:16B, a dragon.
33:17C, a lion.
33:21You've put.
33:22Now, this is a gift.
33:24Yeah, it is.
33:24It's the prancing horse on the Ferrari.
33:27And I don't know what it's called on the Porsche, but it's a horse.
33:30Correct answer is?
33:32Absolutely one from home.
33:36The chaser has put.

34:22I'm sorry.
34:24You can't handle the truth.
34:27The correct answer is?
34:29Yeah, great stuff.
34:33Well played, man.
34:34Put it there.
34:35Well played.
34:36Stay where you are.
34:37What do you say to that, Chaser?
34:39Played very well.

34:42Oh, I still love you.
34:44I do.

34:48Shihab, congratulations.
34:50Go and take your seat in the final chase.
34:53Oh, this is going to be good.
34:56So, Theresa, Jill and Shihab have made it through to the final chase.
35:01There's a total prize fund of £24,000.
35:05Are they going to smash him in the final chase and take home eight grand each?
35:09Oh, I hope so.
35:10See you in a minute.
35:13Oh, welcome back.
35:14I'm looking forward to this.
35:16Theresa, Jill and Shihab have made it through to the final chase.
35:19There is £24,000 in the prize fund.
35:22Now, on the buzzer and against the clock, the team must answer as many questions as they
35:26can, each right answer taking them a step further away from the chaser.
35:30Then the chaser will have the same amount of time to try and catch the team.
35:33If he does, they will leave with nothing.
35:34However, if he doesn't, they'll go home with an equal share of £24,000.
35:40I don't have to tell you, that's eight grand each.
35:43So, Theresa, that would get you a nice MOT for your car, get you a new car.
35:46Get me a new car.
35:47And a new sofa.
35:48And a new sofa.
35:49It would indeed.
35:50And, Jill, that would send you to another state.
35:52You're going to California next.
35:53Where would be the next one?
35:54Oh, I don't know.
35:55Probably up the top end, the Dakotas.
35:57Very good.
35:59Shihab, eight grand.
36:00That would be a lovely honeymoon, wouldn't it?
36:01It will.
36:02Yeah, it would be wonderful.
36:03Listen, I wish you luck, I really do.
36:05Three of you have made it through to the final.
36:07You get a three-step head start on the chaser.
36:10They're going to come at you thick and fast.
36:12I will only accept the answer from the person who has actually pressed the buzzer.
