00:00These four people have never met before, but by working as a team, they have the chance to win thousands of pounds.
00:06There's just one thing standing in their way.
00:08The chaser.
00:10The chase is on.
00:19Hello and welcome to The Chase.
00:22Today'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.
00:28Let's meet the team.
00:31I'm Helen.
00:31I'm 49.
00:32I'm a personal assistant to a CEO and I'm from Hailing Island.
00:35I'm Jotty.
00:36I'm 65.
00:38I'm a volunteer for the Scout Association from Bristol.
00:41I'm Melissa.
00:42I'm 18.
00:43I'm a Sixth Farm student from Leeds.
00:45I'm Wyatt.
00:46I'm 35.
00:47A radio presenter and DJ from Wakefield.
00:49Well, that is our team now one by one.
00:52They'll try and bring as much money as they can down the table and into the team prize fund.
00:56But, as always, hunting them down every step of the way is the chaser.
01:00Anyone who gets caught, loses their money and is out of the game.
01:03Make it back safely, though, and they will go through to the final chase with a chance to win an equal share of that total prize fund.
01:10And first to face the chaser, it's Helen.
01:17Welcome.
01:18Thank you, Bradley.
01:18Now, are you competitive?
01:20I think so, yes.
01:21Yes, I've taken on a few challenges in my time.
01:23Right, biggest one being?
01:25The Royal Marines Commando Challenge I did with Military Fitness in the park in London.
01:29Fantastic.
01:30I actually ran 200 metres with a 13-stone marine on my shoulder.
01:34Really?
01:35There you go.
01:35Not sure I could do it now, but I'm always up for a challenge.
01:37Oh, so that's fantastic.
01:40Right, I wonder what chaser you're going to get today.
01:42That'd be interesting.
01:43If you can carry them, we'll see.
01:45Not if it's Mark Lebet.
01:46Well, you don't know.
01:47First of all, we've got to get across this hurdle, and this is our cash builder.
01:50It's quick-fire questions against the clock.
01:53Are you ready?
01:54As I'll ever be.
01:55I wish you luck.
01:56Your time, Helen.
01:57Starts now.

02:03Glasses.
02:03Correct.
02:04Which Belgian actor, film star is known as the muscles from Brussels?
02:08Jean-Claude Van Damme.
02:08Correct.
02:09The TV game show Celebrity Ding Dong was hosted by which comedian?
02:12Pass.

02:19Tainted Love.
02:20That's it.
02:20What's the total number of days in July and August together?
02:2562.
02:26Correct.
02:27What shipping forecast area shares its name with an Irish river?
02:31Pass.
02:31Shannon.
02:32In the name of the gardening organisation, what does RHS stand for?
02:36Royal Horticultural Society.
02:38Correct.
02:38What is lost and regained in the titles of John Middleton poems?

02:42Correct.

02:52What surname links a test match special commentator and a Bond villain?
02:57Pass.
02:57Blofeld.
02:58David Frost and Lloyd Grossman.
02:59All right.
03:01All right.
03:01No time to ask that question.
03:03However, £5,000.
03:04Oh, wow.
03:05That's better than I thought I'd do.
03:06All we have to do now is get the money and yourself through to the final chase.
03:11Time to take on a chaser.
03:12But who will we be up against today?
03:15Will it be Sean Wallace, the heartthrob ready to give you a brain ache?
03:19Will it be new chaser Paul Sinner?
03:22All we know is he's not big, bald or frosty.
03:24We've got one of those already.
03:26Or will it be the governess, Anne Hegarty?
03:28If you hear chattering, it will probably be your teeth or the ice cubes in her underwear.
03:33Or big man Mark Labette.
03:35He's from Wales.
03:36He's the size of a whale.
03:38And he could eat, yes, you've guessed it, a horse.
03:41So, who sort of puts you ill at ease at the most?
03:45Well, I guess the new boy's got to be the wild card because you haven't got anything to go on.
03:50No.
03:50I know who I'd prefer to.
03:51Who?
03:52Mark Labette.
03:53Really?
03:54Oh, yeah.
03:54Why is that?
03:55Well, my brother challenged me to ask him out on a date if I won.
03:58So, I'm never one to pass off on a challenge.
04:00Really?
04:02Fingers crossed.
04:03Let's see who it is because it's time to bring on the chaser.
04:09Oh, it is as well.
04:12Fantastic.
04:13There you are.
04:14It's the big man himself.
04:16The beast, six foot six, Mark Labette.
04:18Good afternoon, Helen.
04:19Good afternoon, Mark.
04:20Well, I'm always impressed by a decent pair of shoulders on a girl.
04:23But first of all, you've got to win.
04:24That might be a little bit harder.
04:26Well, if you'd be nice to me and then I win.
04:28And then I take you out to dinner.
04:29So, you know, win-win all round.
04:31Well, Bradley, when have you known me be nice to a contestant?
04:34Hardly ever, your highness.
04:36Hardly ever.
04:37Right.
04:37You ready to take on the beast, Helen?
04:39Always ready.
04:40Okay.
04:41Let's put some money on the table, Helen.
04:43Three steps ahead of our chaser.
04:44If you wish to take a step closer to home, the chaser will offer you...
04:48£2,000.
04:49Two grand, that's not too bad.
04:50However, if you wish to take a step closer to the chaser, he will offer you...
04:54I think a generous £20,000.
04:56Wow.
04:57That's a big opening, Gabby.
04:58That is also very, very generous.
04:59Please turn and have a chat with your team.
05:02What do you think, team?
05:03You did really well.
05:05You could certainly get the five.
05:06Melissa?
05:06Yeah.
05:07Keeps it.
05:08Check the five.
05:08Stick to the five.
05:09Really?
05:09Okay.
05:10You answer really confidently.
05:11I certainly wouldn't think about going lower.
05:13You don't need to.
05:14You're certainly better than £2,000.
05:16Definitely.
05:17Thank you, team.
05:17Oh, thank you.
05:18Yeah.
05:18So, the choice, though, is yours, Helen.
05:21£20,000, £5,000 or £2,000.
05:22What will it be?
05:24Well, I'm not a coward, but I'm also not a huge risk taker, so I will stick with my five.
05:29Five it is.
05:29Thank you for the generous offers.
05:30Take the other two offers away.
05:31Thank you very much.
05:32Chaser.
05:33I think that's about wise.
05:34I think this team need to play strategically if they're going to have a chance of beating me.
05:37Right then.
05:38Helen, are you ready?
05:39I'm ready.
05:40For £5,000, Helen, the chase is on.
05:48Good luck to you.
05:49Here comes your first question.
05:52Which of these actors is oldest?
05:54A. Brad Pitt.
05:56B. Tom Cruise.
05:58C. Daniel Craig.
06:02You put.
06:04Dan Craig.
06:06Yeah, I'm not sure.
06:08Okay, fair enough.
06:08Correct answer is.
06:13Tom Cruise.
06:14I wouldn't have put him as a dolphin.
06:16Gotta stay where you are.
06:19The chaser has put.
06:23Brad Pitt.
06:24Oh.
06:24Ah, first one wrong.
06:26Early days.
06:27He's looking forward to dinner.
06:28Early days.
06:29Let's hope you don't eat us.
06:30Right, here's your next question.
06:32Helen, come on, let's start getting home.
06:34Okay.
06:36Marmots belong to what animal family?
06:39A. Rabbits.
06:41B. Skrull.
06:41C. Weasel.
06:44You put.
06:46Skrull.
06:47Happy with that?
06:47No, another guess, I'm afraid.
06:49Really?
06:49I don't know.
06:51Okay.
06:51The correct answer is.
06:55Well played.
06:56Yes, you can come a step closer to home.
06:58The chaser has put.
07:01Also Skrull.
07:02Don't know much about it, other than I knew it was the answer.
07:04Let's get on with this.
07:05Okay.
07:06Here's your next question.
07:09Which of these countries does not have a red, white and blue flag?
07:14A. Estonia.
07:15B. Panama.
07:17C. Thailand.
07:21You put.
07:23Thailand.
07:23What colour flag is that then?
07:25Don't ask me about flags.
07:27I just figured it would be a little bit more colourful somewhere like Thailand.
07:31Yeah.
07:31That was my only thinking there.
07:33We'll find out.
07:34The correct answer is.
07:37It's Estonia.
07:39Stay where you are.
07:41The chaser's put.
07:44Yes, and gets it right and comes a step closer.
07:47Yes, I've actually played the Estonian national quiz team when I captained Wales at the European
07:51quiz championships.
07:52Right.
07:53Well, there you are.
07:54Here's your next question.
07:56What is Margaret Thatcher's middle name?
07:58A. Hillary.
08:00B. Harriet.
08:01Or C. Hilda.
08:03Oh, thank you.
08:03Oh, thank you.
08:04Please.
08:07You've put.
08:09Harriet.
08:10Any ideas at all or is that another guess?
08:13I am really relying on my lack of knowledge here and unlucky guesswork.
08:17Okay.
08:18Correct answer is.
08:23It's Hilda.
08:23Oh, goodness me.
08:25Right.
08:25We've got to stay where we are.
08:27The chaser has put.
08:30Yes, and comes a step closer and has now stepped behind.
08:33Margaret Hilda Roberts as she was born.
08:36That's a prize really, Helen.
08:37I thought that was possibly the easiest one we faced.
08:40But obviously different things for different people.
08:42Only easy if you know the answer.
08:43And it was for me.
08:45Here's your next question.
08:46Got to get this right.
08:47Come on.
08:47I'll try.
08:47Which monarch knighted Sir Isaac Newton?
08:53A. Elizabeth I.
08:55B. Anne.
08:56Or C. Victoria.
09:02You put.
09:04Elizabeth I.
09:05I think it's free going home now.
09:06Well, I don't know.
09:07Elizabeth I.
09:08I mean, what year was Isaac Newton around?
09:12Yeah.
09:12That's how you've got to work it out.
09:14All right.
09:14This has got to be right.
09:16The correct answer is.
09:20Oh, no.
09:22Queen Anne, you've got to stay there.
09:24All right.
09:25There's no way he's got this right.
09:27Well, he's.
09:27The way he's staring me down, he knows he's got me.
09:30The chaser's got to be wrong for us to stay in the game.
09:32Otherwise, it's cheerio to Helen and the five grand.
09:36The chaser has put.
09:41Yes, and it is short shrift, I have to say.
09:45Chaser.
09:46I'm sorry, Helen.
09:47You're easy on the eye, but unfortunately, easy on the brain as well.
09:53No need for that.
09:54I was only trying to make you look good.
09:56Helen, I do apologise.
09:58You have been caught.
09:59I have.
10:00The chase is over.
10:02Bye-bye.
10:03You're welcome.
10:06I have to say, you've missed out on your date now, mate.
10:09Well, I don't want to go out with someone who loses.
10:14Next.
10:15So unnecessary.
10:17The beast is in good form.
10:19He really is.
10:20So, next to face the chaser, another lady.
10:23It's Dottie.
10:24See you after the break.
10:27Welcome back.
10:28Helen, quickly dispatched by the beast.
10:30Next to face him, it's Dottie.
10:32Now you're from Bristol.
10:33Yes.
10:34And you volunteer for a scout association.
10:36Yeah, I do media development work for them, trying to raise the profile.
10:39Ah.
10:39I've got lots of children, but we need more adult leaders.
10:42And our children still wanting to go into the scouts and the cubs and the waiting lists.
10:46Really?
10:46Everywhere.
10:47It's the biggest youth organisation in the world.
10:50I remember Bob a Job Week, clearing up people's gardens.
10:53He was always the kid in the shorts, having a stand in the stingers.
10:56Oh.
10:57However, that was then.
10:58This is now.
10:58Dottie, quick fire questions against the clock.
11:00Each correct answer is worth £1,000.
11:02I wish you luck.
11:03Are you ready?
11:03Yep.
11:04Your time starts now.
11:06J.P.R. Williams was a rugby international for which of the home nations?

11:19In the Disney film, what was the name of the flying elephant?
11:23Can't remember.
11:24Dumbo.
11:25What chocolate bar was advertised as the sweet you can eat between meals?
11:30Aero.

12:00The play, St. Joan, was written by which Nobel Prize-winning dramatist?
12:04George Bernard Shaw?
12:05Yes, correct.
12:06The official.
12:07Very good.
12:08Not bad at all, Dottie.
12:09£7,000.
12:10That's great.
12:11Pleased with that?
12:11Yeah.
12:12I bet.
12:13Well, it's time to bring on the chaser.
12:15Good afternoon, Dottie.
12:28Good afternoon.
12:29I was impressed by that performance.
12:31Some good displays of classic general knowledge.
12:34A little bit sharper than yours so far, I think, perhaps.
12:37You may regret that comment.
12:39I may well.
12:39Whee!
12:40Let's put some money on the table.
12:42Bit of fighting talk going on there.
12:43There's your seven grand, Dottie.
12:45Well done for that.
12:45Let's see what he offers us to take a step closer to home.
12:49You'd be mean.
12:49I think your only chance is if all of you get to the final chase to face me.
12:53So I'm going to offer you an enticing £3,000.
12:55However, if you wish to take a step closer to the beast, he will offer you...
13:01I told you I was impressed.
13:02£30,000.
13:04Very flattering.
13:05It is.
13:06Dottie, have a chat with your team.
13:08What do you think, guys?
13:10I think you played awesome.
13:11I think the top one should be calling out to you.
13:14Even if you went for the three, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
13:16But you're certainly confident enough.
13:17So if you wanted to go for the £30,000, I certainly wouldn't be intimidated by that amount.
13:21Thank you for that advice, team.
13:23But the decision is yours.
13:26Well, I'm older than them.
13:28Hopefully a bit wiser.
13:29I'm going to stick with my seven, thank you.
13:30Right.
13:31Here we go.
13:32Are you ready, Dottie?
13:33Yes.
13:33For £7,000, the chase is on.
13:41Good luck to you.
13:42Here comes your first question.
13:46Well, nobody's perfect is the last line of which Billy Wilder films?
13:51Is it A, the apartment?
13:53B, the seven-year itch?
13:54C, some like it hot?
13:57And I know Bradley knows the answer to this.
14:02You have put...
14:04Seven-year itch.
14:07Have you ever seen any of those?
14:08I'm not a major film buff.
14:09Really?
14:09Period.
14:10OK, let's put ourselves out of our misery.
14:12The correct answer is...
14:15Some like it hot.
14:16It really is.
14:17Got to stay where you are.
14:18The chaser has put...
14:21Yes, and immediately comes onto the table.
14:23You're right.
14:24Great last line for a film.
14:25Well, nobody's perfect.
14:27Here we go.
14:27Here's your next question.
14:29Which of these is not a hawk?
14:32Is it A, a harrier?
14:33B, buzzard?
14:35C, albatross?
14:40You put...
14:41Albatross.
14:42Albatross, why?
14:45Basically, because I don't think it's a hawk.
14:47No?
14:48They do have sea hawks, don't they?
14:50OK, we'll see.
14:51We will indeed.
14:52We'll see.
14:53You put albatross.
14:54Correct answer is...
14:55Well played.
14:59Step closer to home.
15:01The chase is put.
15:03Also albatross and remains the two steps behind.
15:06Here's your next question.
15:09What colour is the central ring on the Olympic flag?
15:14Is it A, blue?
15:15B, black?
15:16C, red?
15:22You've put...
15:23Black.
15:24Black.
15:24Happy with that?
15:26Mmm, I'm not confident.
15:29It would seem logical.
15:30I'm trying to visualise them in my mind,
15:31and it just feels like that's sitting there in the middle somehow.
15:34I see what you're saying.
15:36Correct answer is...
15:39Absolutely.
15:40Well played.
15:40Step closer to home.
15:42The chase has put...
15:43Yeah, also black.
15:46Remains the two steps behind.
15:48I thought I remembered what the order was,
15:50but I'm not going to say it in case I'm wrong.
15:51Right.
15:52Well played, Dottie.
15:53Brilliant.
15:53Good logic.
15:54Here's your next question.
15:56We're going great.
15:57We really are.
15:58What is the highest-ranking suit in contract bridge?
16:03Is it A, hearts?
16:04B, diamonds?
16:05C, spades?
16:11You put...
16:12Spades.
16:13Spades.
16:14Do you like playing bridge?
16:15No, I don't play card games.
16:17No.
16:18I don't know.
16:19It's just a gut feeling.
16:20I really don't know.
16:21They'll always tell you,
16:22the chasers go with your gut feeling.
16:23That's what it is.
16:25Correct answer is...
16:26Well played.
16:30Gut feeling always works, too, from home.
16:32The chaser has put...
16:36Yep.
16:38Any bridge player will tell you spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs.
16:40Right.
16:41And I've been playing it for 30 years.
16:43Right, OK.
16:44Here's your next question.
16:47Approximately, what are the chances of winning the National Lottery Lotto jackpot with a £1 ticket?
16:55Is it A, £2 million to one, B, £6 million to one, or C, £14 million to one?
17:02You've put £1 million to one.
17:09Yeah.
17:10Happy with that?
17:12Ish.
17:13Another gut feeling.
17:15Correct answer is...
17:16Absolutely right.
17:20One step from home with your £7,000 gut feeling rules again.
17:24Two on the bounce with your gut feeling.
17:25That's the way to go.
17:26The chaser has put...
17:29Yes, and he knows that and remains the two steps behind.
17:33It's 49 times 48 times 47 times 46 times 45 times 44, all divided by 720.
17:38Wow.
17:39I worked it out.
17:40That's where it is.
17:41The mathematician in him strikes again.
17:44Here's what I'm hoping is going to be your last question, because that will get you through to the final chaser.
17:48It's £7,000.
17:49Here's the question.
17:50The Rhine flows through which of these countries?
17:56A, Luxembourg.
17:57B, Belgium.
17:58C, the Netherlands.
18:05You put...
18:06Belgium.
18:07Yeah.
18:08Why?
18:11Again, because I don't really know, so I've gone for the middle, really.
18:15Fair enough.
18:16You've gone for Belgium.
18:17Correct answer is to go through with £7,000.
18:23Oh, it's the Netherlands.
18:25Got to stay where we are.
18:26Yeah.
18:27The chaser has put...
18:30The Netherlands and moves to one step behind us.
18:34I was very lucky there, because I read A as Liechtenstein, which of course famously is a value in the Rhine,
18:39so I was just about to press A when, fortunately, I checked what I was reading.
18:42Oh.
18:43And, of course, it flows out in the Netherlands.
18:45Yeah, of course.
18:45£7,000, Dottie.
18:47We've got to get this one right.
18:49He's on form.
18:50Here's your next question.
18:52What does a nootropic drug enhance?
18:55A, the immune system.
18:56B, libido.
18:58C, memory.
19:02You put...
19:03Memory.
19:05Why did you put that?
19:06It's going to be another gut feeling, Bradley.
19:08Sorry.
19:09No, that's all right.
19:09Don't apologise to me.
19:10I'll only be sorry if it's a wrong gut feeling.
19:12Well, we just need to get this right.
19:14That's what we need to do.
19:15You've put memory for £7,000 of going through.
19:19The correct answer is...
19:23Yes!
19:25Brilliant.
19:25Well played, Dottie.
19:26Well played as well.
19:31Good answer there, the final one.
19:33I'll be honest, I got that one wrong.
19:34I went for a immune system.
19:36Oh, you shouldn't have let us know that chink in your hand.
19:38I don't mind.
19:38I'm so confident I'll let you know.
19:40Well, congratulations, Dottie.
19:42You're through to the final chase.
19:43We'll see you in a little while.
19:45Brilliant stuff.
19:47Very good.
19:48A little bit worried about that because Dottie seems like she'll pick up the classic general knowledge questions.
19:53Yeah.
19:54In the final chase.
19:55All I've got to make sure now is that I take out the other two.
19:58I hope you don't because next to face the chaser, it's Melissa.
20:05Welcome.
20:05Hello.
20:06Sixth form student from Leeds.
20:08Yep, 100% Yorkshire, born and bred.
20:11Great stuff.
20:12All right, now if you won some money today, Melissa, what would you do with it?
20:15Well, I've just opened my own female-only karate club, so I'd love to put some money into that
20:20and really get that going and kick-started.
20:22Right, so do you just run the karate club or do you do karate yourself?
20:26I do karate myself, yes, I'm a black belt.
20:28Are you really?
20:28I am.
20:29And have you won any competitions?
20:31I've won quite a few.
20:32Probably the most notable one would be the Commonwealth Karate Championships.
20:36I won two golds there.
20:38Fantastic.
20:38Well, welcome to the show.
20:40That's a wonderful achievement.
20:41Let's hope there's some questions on karate.
20:43Let's hope.
20:44I'll wish you luck, Melissa.

21:51£5,000.
21:52Happy with that?
21:54Happy enough, yeah.
21:55Right.
21:55What moves can we make?
21:57Because it's time to bring on the chaser.
21:59Good afternoon, Melissa.
22:12Right, Chica?
22:13Well, I was tempted to be rather disparaging because, let's face it, you're a schoolgirl.
22:16Well, but you impressed me and so my offers are going to reflect that.
22:22Fantastic.
22:23Well, good luck to you.
22:24Here we go.
22:24Let's put some money on the table, Melissa.
22:26There's your 5K.
22:27Three steps ahead.
22:28If you want to take a step closer to home, the chaser will offer you?
22:31A very reasonable £2,000.
22:34Okay, too bad it is.
22:35But if you want to take a step closer and take him on, and believe me, you can, he will offer you?
22:42Do you want a big offer?
22:43Why not?
22:44Well, £40,000 suits you.
22:47Yeah, all the time.
22:48That's a lot of money.
22:49Have a chat with your team.
22:52Shall I do?
22:53That would do an awful lot for you, wouldn't it?
22:55You did really well.
22:56And I think you've probably got him a bit scared.
22:59I think you think you're too young to know what you know.
23:01Yeah, that's true.
23:03Just don't leave here with any regrets.
23:05You're certainly good enough for the 5, and if you feel confident with the 40, why not?
23:09Right, right.
23:10Thank you, team.
23:12It's up to you.
23:13It's all your choice.
23:14Well, because I've got my club on the line, I think I'll have to be safe and take the 5.
23:20The 5, it is chaser.
23:23Understandable, but never say I'm not generous with my offers.
23:26Indeed.
23:27Now, Melissa, are you ready?
23:28I'm ready.
23:29Good.
23:30For £5,000, the chase is on.
23:33Good luck.
23:38Here comes your first question.
23:40Which of these is a drink from Spain?
23:43A. Calveros.
23:45B. Prosecco.
23:46C. Sangria.
23:49You put.
23:51Sangria.
23:52Happy with that?
23:52Yep.
23:53Let's go for it.
23:54Correct answer is?
23:56It is indeed.
23:57Sangria.
23:58We're on our way home.
23:59The chaser has put.
24:02Also, Sangria.
24:03Come straight onto the table.
24:04Wonderful.
24:04It was a very friendly first question.
24:06Wasn't it, just?
24:07Another few like that, and you may be regretting not going for the £40,000.
24:10Gee, well could.
24:11Here's your next question.
24:14Which of these can be found in the back of a wooden chair?
24:18A. A splat.
24:19B. A bang.
24:20C. A wallop.
24:25Splat bang wallop.
24:26You put.
24:28Splat.
24:30Sounds like you and your karate moves.
24:32Splat bang wallop.
24:34Well, you know.
24:35Do you know this?
24:37No.
24:38Hmm.
24:39Correct answer is?
24:42Well played.
24:43That's great.
24:45The chaser has put.
24:46Oh, it gets it wrong with wallop.
24:50I broke my cardinal rule.
24:51I changed my mind.
24:53Yes.
24:53My gut instinct was splat, and then wallop came out.
24:55Oh, that looks tempting.
24:57They are not invincible.
24:58Here's your next question.
25:01Which Jewish festival lasts eight days?
25:05A. Yom Kippur.
25:07B. Rosh Hashanah.
25:09Or C. Hanukkah.
25:13You put.
25:13A. Yom Kippur's the day of attainment, and is it Rosh Hashanah's the Jewish New Year?
25:36Indeed.
25:37Here's the next question.
25:38The 2010 film, 127 Hours, is about what?
25:46You've got a smile on your face.
25:47A. A trapped climber.
25:49B. A Russian siege.
25:50Or C. A murder trial.
25:53Do you ever get the feeling it's not going to be your day?
25:56You have put.
25:57A. A trapped climber.
25:58Correct answer is?
25:59Of course, the Danny Boyle film.
26:03That takes you one step from home.
26:06Fantastic.
26:07With a brilliant cushion in front of you as well.
26:08The chaser's put.
26:12Right.
26:12Also a trapped climber.
26:14What a cushion to be in this position.
26:17Yep.
26:18All right, here we go.
26:19Here's your next question.
26:21Which of these words has the highest value in a game of Scrabble?
26:25Is it A, chaser?
26:26B, hunting?
26:28C, victim?
26:29You've put.
26:37Victim.
26:40That's going to be good, I think.
26:42I'm hoping so.
26:43Yeah, V.
26:44That sounds quite high-scoring.
26:46Yeah, why not?
26:47Why not, exactly.
26:49Right.
26:50Now, if this is correct, we're going through with 5,000 pounds.
26:53Melissa, are you ready?
26:54I'm ready.
26:55Let's do it.
26:57After the break.
26:58See you in a minute.
26:59Oh, welcome back.
27:02Now, young Melissa here, 18-year-old student from Leeds,
27:07is one correct answer away from going through to the final chase
27:09with 5,000 pounds alongside Doddy.
27:12So, got to ask you, do you wish you'd taken the 40 now?
27:16I do now, but hindsight's a wonderful thing, isn't it?
27:19It is.
27:20It is indeed.
27:21We don't know if this is correct yet, do we?
27:23We don't.
27:24We don't.
27:25Before the break, I ask Melissa the question,
27:27which of these words has the highest value in a game of Scrabble?
27:30Now, Melissa said it's C, victim.
27:33Hmm, we shall see.
27:35The correct answer is...
27:36It is victim indeed.
27:42Straight through.
27:42Well played.
27:44Absolutely terrific.
27:47Thrashed.
27:48Perfect round by Melissa.
27:49Yeah.
27:50Bravo.
27:50Absolutely.
27:51Melissa, please take your place in the final chase alongside Dottie.
27:55Well done.
27:56Chaser.
27:56You know I'm always worried about the cross-generational team.
28:01They're far more dangerous than when they're all the same age.
28:03Absolutely.
28:04Broad church of knowledge.
28:05That's fantastic.
28:07Well, last up, it's Wyatt.
28:12Welcome to the show.
28:14Hi, Brad.
28:14Your professional life's based in the media, isn't it, really?
28:17That's right.
28:17Radio DJ and presenter and stuff.
28:19Yep.
28:19All right, and where's that?
28:21Pretty much all over.
28:22A lot of stuff's done from home.
28:23But the studio's in my room and I can just do it from there and send it out to producers
28:27all over the world, literally.
28:29Great stuff.
28:30All right, any hobbies yourself?
28:31Endurance cycling is a big thing I might...
28:34Yeah, it's slightly different to normal cycling in that I literally spend hours and days on
28:38the road, often cycling for 18 to 22 hours at a time in a day.
28:42Really?
28:43And how far will you go?
28:45Well, depending on the amount of hills, but realistically, in sort of 18 to 22 hours,
28:49you're looking at anything between 200 and 250 miles.
28:53Really?
28:53Yeah, and sometimes you're in an endurance race, you have to do that every day for five
28:58days straight, sometimes longer.
29:01That's extraordinary.
29:03Right, well, this is a bit of an endurance itself.
29:05Let's get you through to the final chase.
29:07Build up as much money as we can.
29:08Good luck, mate.
29:09Your time, Wyatt, starts now.
29:13In the nursery rhyme, bar bar black sheep, how many bags of wool were there?
29:16Three.
29:16Correct.
29:18Heliotrope is a plant whose flowers turn towards what?
29:21The sun.

29:23In psychology, Rorschach tests involve looking at what marks?
29:27Pass.
29:28Inkblots.

29:33France.
29:34Spain.

29:52In the church calendar, Low Sunday comes a week after what day?
29:55Easter Sunday.
29:56Correct.
29:57What Australian city stands at the mouth of the Yarra River?
30:01Melbourne.
30:01Correct.
30:02What was the only thing left in Pandora's box once all the evils were gone?
30:06Candy floss.
30:07It's hope.
30:08Bob Monkhouse, Norma Vaughan, Charlie Williams were all presenters of what game show?
30:12Crumbly Century.
30:13Oh, no!
30:14Oh, I thought you was going to get it.
30:16It was the golden shot.
30:18Oh, slip of the tongue.
30:19Sorry.
30:20And you threw me there with the answer, candy floss.
30:22It's better than pass.
30:23It is better than pass.
30:25But nonetheless, six grand, Wyatt.
30:27That's not bad.
30:28That's all right.
30:29If you get through, that will give you 18 grand.
30:31But it could be more, depending on the offers you get.
30:35It's time to bring on the chaser.
30:36Good afternoon, Wyatt.
30:50Good afternoon.
30:51Impressive bunch, this.
30:52Yeah.
30:53Volunteers for Scouts, black belt karate, and now a marathon cyclist.
30:57Yes.
30:58I think he could be the final component in a useful team here.
31:00Yeah, I do too.
31:02Right, let's get down to brass tacks, shall we?
31:04There's your 6,000 pounds.
31:05Three steps ahead of the chaser.
31:07If you want to take a step closer to home, Wyatt, the chaser will offer you.
31:101,000.
31:12What's that all about?
31:13Have you got two or three for the others?
31:14I don't like blokes who've got longer hair than the girls.
31:17He's got nothing to do with that, too.
31:18You're rattled.
31:19Anyway, if you want to take a step closer to the chaser, he will offer you...
31:23I'm not feeling generous anymore.
31:2518,000.
31:26Well, that says it all, doesn't it, really?
31:2818 grand?
31:29They had an opportunity.
31:31They didn't take it.
31:32You're rattled.
31:33Yeah, righto.
31:34No, you are.
31:35Now, you've offered 40 grand.
31:37Now, all of a sudden, we're putting half a team together.
31:39You've decided 80, you don't want to be giving away any money.
31:41Okay, fair enough.
31:42If you think I'm rattled, take the high offer, then.
31:44Yes, and Wyatt, I think he's rattled.
31:46It's got nothing to do with me, though.
31:47Have a chat with your team.
31:49What do you think, girls?
31:49Right, we really want you back here, because we think you've got knowledge we haven't.
31:53So, stick for the 6.
31:56You can do that, no trouble.
31:57Take the 6.
31:59It's getting shaky.
32:01You can do it.
32:01We need you here.
32:02Yeah.
32:03Thanks, girls.
32:04All right, 6 giving you a total of 18.
32:06That's 6 grand each, or indeed 10 grand each, if you took the 18, making it up to 30.
32:11You've got to weigh it up in your own mind.
32:13I mean, I advised Melissa not to come here with any regrets, and I also said I didn't want to win thousands and thousands.
32:17I just wanted to get a few hundreds to put a charity bike ride together.
32:20I want to get back to the final, and I'm going to take the thousand.
32:22You're going with the thousand.
32:24Okay, girls, what do you think of that?
32:26Definitely not a good decision.
32:28He's better than that.
32:29Dottie, you had the opportunity to put the big money in the bot.
32:32You didn't take it, so you can't criticise Wyatt there.
32:35In fairness, now quite a decent strategic move.
32:38Absolutely.
32:38Which is why I'm not giving him grief over it.
32:39No, get you back to the final.
32:40Good luck.
32:41Are you ready?
32:41Yep.
32:42Wyatt, for a thousand pounds, the chase is on.
32:49Good luck to you.
32:50Here comes the first question.
32:53Which city was the first capital of the United States?
32:57A, Boston.
32:58B, New York.
32:59C, Philadelphia.
33:02You put Boston.
33:05Happy with that?
33:06Not 100%.
33:07It does ring a bell.
33:08But I'm thinking the Boston Tea Party.
33:12New England.
33:12Yeah.
33:13Gotcha.
33:13All right.
33:14Correct answer is...
33:16It's Philadelphia.
33:19Staying where you are.
33:20The chase was put.
33:23Yes.
33:24And step straight onto the table.
33:26Of course, that's where they sign the Declaration of Independence.
33:28Right.
33:28Thank you for that.
33:30Here's your next question.
33:33Phasmophobia is the fear of what?
33:35A, flying.
33:36B, ghosts.
33:38C, lightning.
33:45You put...
33:47Ghosts.
33:49Again, not 100% sure.
33:50I'm thinking plasm, phasm, that ghostly thing.
33:54I'm thinking of the Ghostbusters and trying to remember the terminology from that.
33:58But I'm not 100% sure.
34:01Correct answer is...
34:04It is ghosts.
34:05Step closer to home.
34:07Chase has put.
34:11Also ghosts and remains three steps behind.
34:14Lightning's astrophobia and flying's completely escaped from my head, what it is.
34:17But I know it wasn't that.
34:19Flown away.
34:20Here's your next question.
34:21Which musical features the song Brush Up Your Shakespeare?
34:27Is it A, The Boys From Syracuse?
34:29B, Kiss Me Kate?
34:31C, West Side Story?
34:35They all could be.
34:39Now then, you put West Side Story.
34:43I'd just like a question I'd know the answer to.
34:45A game.
34:46This is a guess, is it?
34:48A wild guess.
34:50Hands up.
34:50Fair enough.
34:52The correct answer is...
34:55It's Kiss Me Kate.
34:57Based on the Shakespeare play Taming of the Shrew.
35:00Okay, let's see what the chaser put.
35:04Yes, Kiss Me Kate.
35:05I know the scenario.
35:06You know a lot more than I do.
35:07So thank you for explaining it for me.
35:09All right, it's no problem.
35:10All right, we've got three more to go.
35:11Let's do it.
35:12Here's your next question.
35:15In Scottish legend,
35:16A kelpie is an evil spirit in the shape of what animal?
35:22A, a deer.
35:23B, a horse.
35:25Or C, a wolf.
35:26I don't know why you're smiling.
35:29Well, you've put a deer.
35:34It's all gone horribly wrong.
35:35Again, I've got Scottish family,
35:37and I know the word,
35:39and it's just escaped me what the animal is.
35:43And I'm just thinking of Highland deer, Highland stags.
35:45Yep.
35:46Well, my mother is also Scottish,
35:48but I don't know,
35:49and I have a lot of Scottish family,
35:50and I don't know,
35:51but our producer of this show is called Michael Kelpie.
35:54So I'm desperate to know what it is.
35:56It isn't going to be a deer.
35:57He's far too ferocious to be a deer.
36:00I'm hoping it's going to be a wolf.
36:02I'm not.
36:03Well, no, I'm not either.
36:04No, you know what I mean.
36:06I don't mean that at all.
36:07I'm hoping it's going to be a deer.
36:08That's what I'm hoping.
36:12The correct answer is...
36:14It's a horse.
36:18Right.
36:19Got to stay where we are.
36:20The chaser has put...
36:24Yeah, and knew that.
36:26It's now one step behind.
36:27So our producer is a horse.
36:29An evil horse.
36:31Yes, indeed.
36:32There we are now.
36:33We have £1,000.
36:34We're three steps from home.
36:35So, vindicated.
36:37For now.
36:38For now.
36:39Let's see if we can get through.
36:40Here's your next question.
36:41A form of what metal is also known as fool's gold?
36:47Is it A, iron?
36:48B, tin?
36:49C, silver?
36:54You put...
36:56Tin.
36:57Again, a question I don't know.
36:59Well, you know, I always thought fool's gold was copper pyrites for some peculiar reason.
37:04Right.
37:04You've put tin.
37:05Got to be right to stay in.
37:07The correct answer is...
37:11Call me.
37:12Hi, Kev.
37:12Iron.
37:14Iron.
37:14You've got to stay where you are.
37:16Right.
37:16He's going to know this.
37:17Well, he's leaning down the table.
37:19That's a sure sign.
37:20He's very smug and he knows what he's doing.
37:22The chaser has put to stay in the game.
37:23Got to be wrong.
37:24Yes, iron it is and wipes us out.
37:32You were nearly right, Brad.
37:33It's iron pyrites.
37:34Iron pyrites.
37:36Yeah, I am so sorry.
37:38Wyatt, tough, man.
37:39Yeah, not one question that I was confident on.
37:41Not one.
37:42No, I know.
37:43They're tough.
37:44But nonetheless, Wyatt, I do apologise.
37:45You have been caught.
37:46And for you, the chase is over.
37:48Cheers.
37:48See you.
37:49I am very relieved Wyatt's going.
37:54Yes, indeed.
37:55Forgive me, but I tend to play the percentages.
37:57And I was looking at Wyatt and thinking there were...
37:59He might well chip in three, four, five extra points to those two,
38:02which could make all the difference.
38:04Absolutely.
38:05However, Dottie and Melissa made it through to the final chase.
38:08It's 12 grand.
38:09Could have been 47,000.
38:11Are they going home with six each?
38:13Find out after the break.
38:17Oh, welcome back.
38:18Looking forward to this, Dottie and Melissa have made it through to the final chase.
38:22There is 12 grand in the total prize fund.
38:24Now, on the buzzer and against the clock,
38:26the girls must answer as many questions as they can.
38:28Each right answer puts them a step further away from the chaser.
38:31Then, of course, the beast himself will have the same amount of time
38:34to try and catch the girls.
38:35If he does, they go home with nothing.
38:37If he doesn't, Melissa and Dottie leave with six grand each.
38:40That would be nice, wouldn't it?
38:42Girls, both of you have made it through to the final chase.
38:44Therefore, you get an automatic two-step head start on our chaser.
38:48Are you ready?
38:49Ready as you'll ever be.
38:50Good luck.

41:02I don't think it would be enough.
41:03Well, we shall see if 15 steps is indeed enough.
41:07It's time to bring back The Chaser.
41:2015 steps, you think it's a target?
41:24Their only chance is to knock me back every time I make a mistake.
41:28That's right.
41:29Yeah.
41:29If you don't, there's no way I'm not going to get 15 right.

43:31Chaser.
43:32It's a good effort, but unless you're getting a score into the 20s, you're going to be very
43:36unlikely to win this game.
43:38Hmm.
43:39Feel good?
43:40Should have got the first one right, but I thought I'd give them something extra, because
43:4215 was just too low.
