CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Thank you so much. Thank you, everybody.
Thank you.
Hello and welcome to Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
Now, if you like money and watching other people winning it,
you've come to the right place.
So, let's meet the six people hoping to do just that.
They are...
Welcome to you all.
Now, to see who gets to sit in the chair,
we're going to play Fastest Finger First.
However, tonight is a bit different.
Because one of our contestants, Linn, is visually impaired,
nothing is going to appear on any of the contestants' screens.
Here's how it works.
I'm going to read out the question and the four possible answers,
and there will be a noise like so...
MUSICAL CRESCENDO
That noise will start the clock.
All clear?
OK, no distraction from the audience, please,
because here comes the question.
HE READS QUESTION
A, ostrich. B, hummingbird.
C, blackbird. D, chicken.
MUSICAL CRESCENDO
OK, time's up, so let's first of all see the correct order.
The ostrich, that's the heaviest. Then the chicken.
Then the blackbird. And then the hummingbird.
Let's see how many got it right.
Only three.
And who was the quickest?
It was Michelle Brook
in 0.74 seconds!
APPLAUSE
Come and have a seat.
I can't believe that. That's less than a second.
Yeah. We've established your fingers work very well.
Yes.
What about this? Hopefully, the adrenaline will help.
We'll see how we go.
Indeed we will. So, you're Michelle Brook.
You're a freelance consultant from Sandbach in Cheshire.
Yes. OK, let's play Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
APPLAUSE
This is for £100.
READS QUESTION
Cap. Final answer.
And the right answer. £100.
APPLAUSE
£200 question.
READS QUESTION
As much as I love the idea of a warm snakebite and black,
I'm going to go with mulled wine. Final answer.
And that wins you £200.
APPLAUSE
Good.
So, this is for £300.
READS QUESTION
D, banjo. Final answer.
There you go, £300.
APPLAUSE
And now it is the £500 question.
READS QUESTION
Now, I'm not very good on pop music.
But I know that's Vogue. Final answer.
And the right answer. £500.
APPLAUSE
And here's your last chance to go home empty-handed.
This is your £1,000 safety net question.
And here it comes.
READS QUESTION
C, Stratford-upon-Avon. Final answer.
Easy-peasy, £1,000. Well done, you.
APPLAUSE
Now, I've been reading about you, as one does.
And it says that, if you won a lot of money,
you would do a 7,000-mile, once-in-a-lifetime trip,
beginning on a cargo ship from Liverpool to New York.
Yeah.
Why wouldn't you use an aeroplane?
Well, I'm kind of passionate about the climate,
and cargo ships are already taking trips.
A little bit greener, on the whole, than aeroplanes.
Well, let's hope we can get you...
And then, after that, you want to go down to Patagonia.
Yeah, so, make my way over to New York,
then make my way down south, all the way down to Patagonia.
Patagonia? Well, stay in Chile, won't you? Don't go to Argentina.
LAUGHTER
Right. Would you like to set your safety net at £2,000?
No. Right, here's the question.
HE READS QUESTION
I didn't know the answer when I thought about it straightaway.
But I did a degree in biochemistry,
and doing that, I grew bacterial cultures a number of times.
Ancl I used Petri dishes.
So, Julius Petri. Final answer.
And the right answer. £2,000.
APPLAUSE
Right, safety net at 4,000?
No, I'll keep playing for now. OK, this is your question.
READS QUESTION
What popped into my mind before the answers came up was sedan.
So, I'm going to go with B, sedan. Final answer.
Absolutely right. We are cruising along here.
APPLAUSE
I don't know how much it costs to go on a cargo ship to New York,
but I guess you're there already. Yeah, that would get me there.
Maybe not all the way down to Patagonia.
No, no, a little bit more yet. Let's see if we can help you out.
Would you like to set your safety net at 8,000?
No, thank you. Right, this is the question.
READS QUESTION
Now, I have no idea.
Mm...
I'm pretty sure that you're gonna know.
I will ask you, Jeremy.
Do you know which of these car manufacturers
was founded in Romania?
OK, here's what I think. Yes, I do know.
It's Dacia. Although they claim it's "Datcha".
But I just think Dacia sounds nicer.
No, I'm 100% certain.
Skoda is Czechoslovakia, the Czech Republic.
Kia is Korea. And Mazda is Japanese.
So, yeah, Dacia, 100%. And that is my final answer.
Thank you for that.
So, I will go with A, Dacia. Final answer.
And, computer, can you reveal the correct answer, please?
I do my swivel of joy.
APPLAUSE
Mind you, that wasn't a very difficult one for me, that.
Would you like to set your safety net at 16,000?
No, thank you. All right, here comes the question.
READS QUESTION
I have absolutely no idea, so I am going to ask the audience.
Yeah, it seems like an audience-y sort of question, that.
OK, audience, on your keypads, please. This is the question.
HE READS QUESTION
And if you'd all vote now, please.
OK, that's nearly 70% have gone for The Voice.
That's quite a convincing majority, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yes, I will go with The Voice UK. Final answer.
Well done, you. Well done, audience. That's the right answer.
APPLAUSE
And now it's time to take a break. We'll be back in a few moments.
See you then.
APPLAUSE
Welcome back to Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
We're here with Michelle. She is on £16,000.
Two lifelines remaining.
Would you like to set your safety net at 32,000?
Oh, erm...
No, I think I'll play one more.
OK.
This is the question.
HE READS QUESTION
Oh, that's a horrible question.
I'm trying to...
I'm trying to remember what each of them looks like now.
So, not even one is popping up?
Well, I think the US Capitol has a dome.
I think.
I saw the Sacre-Coeur, like, five years ago,
and I don't think it had a dome.
I'm going to phone a friend. OK.
Ancl I'm going to phone Chris. Chris?
OK, can we call Chris, please?
Who's Chris? Chris is somebody that I know
who used to chair the Wikimedia Trust in the UK.
Oh, well, so, encyclopaedic.
Kind of.
But he tends to kind of focus more on kind of war stuff.
Hello? Hi, Chris?
Yes. Hi, Jeremy Clarks on here from Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
Hi, there. We have Michelle with us, obviously.
She's on £16,000,
and needs your help to get to 32.
Can I just check you've got someone from our office with you
making sure you're not looking anything up?
That's correct, yes. Good, good.
Right, Michelle, I'm going to hand it over to you in a second.
You've got 30 seconds, which is a tiny, tiny fragment of time,
to read out that question and the four possible answers,
leaving Chris enough time to have a think, OK?
Yep.
Right, your time starts now.
SHE READS QUESTION
Milan Cathedral, I think.
Kind of 60, 70%.
Yep.
Erm...
Five seconds.
Erm...
Well, he said 60 to 70%.
It's less certain than I'd like him to be,
given that it's, like, a 15K drop.
Well, the situation is, if you get this wrong, you lose £15,000.
Yeah. You could just take the money.
Yep. You still have a lifeline remaining,
which may be of some assistance.
Or you could just guess.
Erm...
A small part of me just wants to guess.
But I'm going to go with 50/50,
see what that leaves me with, and see how I feel at that point.
OK, computer, can we take away two wrong answers, please?
Am I gonna go for it?
I'm gonna go with C, Milan Cathedral. Final answer.
I'm not sure if there's much tension for the viewers at home.
That is the right answer, yes.
APPLAUSE
Yeah, the US Capitol is famously the white one with the dome on it.
When you sit here, suddenly,
all images of everything I've ever seen disappear.
And then the Hagia Sophia is in Istanbul.
I'd learnt where it was, I just didn't see a picture of it.
You couldn't conjure it up.
Well, it doesn't matter, because you're there.
Well, you've lost all your lifelines now, but you're on £32,000. Yep.
You still haven't set your safety net.
I'm setting the safety net now.
I'm guessing that's coming up, isn't it?
OK, could we set the safety net, please, at £64,000?
And you've got to get yourself there, because there's...
Nobody else. No-one behind you helping you.
Here's the question.
READS QUESTION
So, I have no idea.
Erm, I'm imagining it's not Lincolnshire sausage.
They tend not to be famously hugely coloured.
Erm...
Annatto, it sounds...
I'm leaning towards piccalilli, but I have no idea.
So, I am going to take the money.
My final answer.
OK.
Michelle Brook, you are leaving here with £32,000.
APPLAUSE
That's not bad for 15 minutes' work. Not bad, no.
Not bad at all, is it? But...
...just before you go... Yep.
...what would you have said?
I'd have probably taken a punt on piccalilli.
Mm.
Well, if you'd have done that, you'd have lost.
Yeah, because the correct answer is Red Leicester cheese.
Who knew?
Well, you now know.
I will bear that in mind in the future.
Next time you buy some. Fun having you, though.
Ladies and gentlemen, Michelle Brook! Well done.
APPLAUSE
Well done. Thank you.
OK, five contestants left.
And once again, they're about to play Fastest Finger First.
Nice and quiet, please, in the audience.
Here comes the question.
HE READS QUESTION
MUSICAL CRESCENDO
OK, let's see the correct order first of all.
We've got Whipsnade there at the bottom.
Then Chester. Then Belfast. And then Edinburgh.
Now let's see how many people got it right.
Only one of you.
And it was Akeem Miller
in 1.91 seconds!
APPLAUSE
Well done.
There you are. Thank you.
I wonder how the others got that wrong?
Belfast and Edinburgh, I guess. Exactly.
Who knows? Who knows?
So, you're Akeem Miller, a senior brand strategy consultant
from Rainham in Kent.
Essex. Yeah, I meant that.
LAUGHTER
Don't ask me any questions on South East England,
that would be my tip. I won't.
Right, are you ready? Let's play.
OK, let's play Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
APPLAUSE
OK, this is your question for £100.
HE READS QUESTION
I'm a London boy with an A-Level in politics,
so my teachers wouldn't be very happy if I got this wrong.
I'm going to go Westminster. Final answer.
Absolutely right. That's £100.
APPLAUSE
Slightly annoying, though, that the London question
and the politics question has cropped up so early.
Yeah. But fingers crossed.
Right, the £200 question.
READS QUESTION
I believe it's vanilla. Final answer.
And that's £200.
APPLAUSE
This is your £300 question.
READS QUESTION
As much as I'd love to see them try heavy metal,
the answer is hip-hop. Final answer.
And the right answer. Well done.
APPLAUSE
Now, this is your £500 question.
READS QUESTION
It's been a while since I played Monopoly,
but I believe the answer is "miss a turn",
because you've got the "go to jail" in the corner,
"free parking" in another corner,
the "community chest" is a square you can land on
where you take a community chest.
The phrase that does not appear on a standard UK Monopoly board
is "miss a turn". Final answer.
Got there in the end. That's £500.
APPLAUSE
Well done.
This is your last chance to go home empty-handed.
Don't take it.
Here is your question for £1,000.
READS QUESTION
I believe the answer is "let". Final answer.
It's the right answer. And you've made it to a safety net.
APPLAUSE
That's the least you go home with, £1,000.
So, what's your strong areas?
Well, having played along at home a couple of times,
I can confidently say there's no one area that's my strongest area.
Maybe sports, maybe capital cities.
You're a boxer, aren't you? I box.
I wouldn't call myself a boxer. But I do like to box.
But a boxing question would be handy.
They do happen from time to time. Well, let's see how we get on.
Right.
Well, would you like to set your safety net at £2,000?
No, thank you. I'd like to continue playing.
All right, this is your question.
READS QUESTION
I think I know the answer, but I'm not 100% sure.
I believe...
...vinegar is ethanoic acid.
Table salt I know is sodium chloride.
So, I don't believe that acetic acid would appear there.
Butter...
shouldn't really have a high acidic content.
Ancl granulated sugar, I believe, has got a very low acidic content.
But because I'm not 100% sure, I'd like to 50/50, please.
OK.
Computer, can we take away two wrong answers, please?
I'd like to say vinegar. Final answer.
I'm happy to say you've just won £2,000. Well done.
APPLAUSE
Good play there. So, right, safety net at 4,000?
No, thank you. I'd like to keep playing.
OK, here is your question.
READS QUESTION
I remember this, actually, from...
...English literature at school,
where Winston spoke about Room 101.
Ancl that was in 1984.
Ancl George Orwell wrote 1984.
So I'd like to go with B, George Orwell. Final answer, please.
Good school teaching. That is the right answer.
And you've just won £4,000.
APPLAUSE
And now we have to take a short break.
We'll be back in a few moments. See you then.
APPLAUSE
...it was completely slimy and very yellow.
LAUGHTER
Welcome back to Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
We're here with Akeem, he's on £4,000.
So, would you like to set your safety net at £8,000?
No, not yet, thank you. All right.
This is your question.
HE READS QUESTION
I have listened to all of them at various points,
albeit not for a very long time.
But I'm confident this one is Maroon 5. Final answer.
And I'm confident that you've just won £8,000.
APPLAUSE Great answers.
Right, would you like to set your safety net at 16,000?
No, I'd like to continue playing, please.
OK, this is the question.
READS QUESTION
Well, fortunately for me, I had a Game Boy way back in the '90s,
so all that Game Boy playing has helped me today, hopefully.
I'd like to say the answer is B, Super Mario Bros. Final answer.
And the right answer!
APPLAUSE
I was sitting there forever. There was Donkey Kong.
Yoshi, that's who I always was, the green dinosaur.
Who knew that that could win you so much money?
Indeed. You were sitting there going,
"This will be useful one day, Mother, mark my words."
If you won big, what would you spend it on?
Well, I guess it depends how big.
I'd like to travel around South America
and also go to the Caribbean.
It's actually where my family are from,
so that would be a very nice trip to take.
Which bit? Guyana. OK.
Ancl I'd love to take that trip
and just see something a little bit different, I guess.
Well, you're there, pretty much.
You could certainly get to the Caribbean
and have a very nice time for 16,000.
But let's see if we can get you further up, shall we?
Would you like to set your safety net at 32,000?
No, thanks. I'd like to continue playing.
OK. Here's the question.
READS QUESTION
I know the answer's not octopus.
But having burnt the 50/50 already...
...that's not very helpful. Mm.
I'd like to call my friend Stephen, please.
OK.
Can we call Stephen, please?
Who's Stephen? Stephen's a friend from school,
who knows a great deal.
About angling and sea creatures? I guess we're about to find out.
Yes, we are.
Hello? Hi, Stephen?
Hi. Hi there.
Jeremy Clarks on here from Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
Hi. How are you? I'm very well.
And you? Yeah, good.
Good. We've got Akeem here, he's on £16,000.
But he does need your help to get to 32.
Right, Akeem, I'm going to hand it over to you in a second.
You've got 30 seconds to read out the question
and the four possible answers,
leaving Stephen enough time to have a think, OK?
Yeah. Ready? Time starts now.
HE READS QUESTION
Whoa, I'm really not a fish expert.
Neither am I.
So, a scallop is a mollusc or something.
I don't know about the last one. What was the last one?
Octopus. A Portuguese man-of-war, scallop, seahorse, octopus.
Four seconds.
Yeah, I think it's got to be man-of-war.
Mm...
I'm going to burn another lifeline.
I'm going to ask the audience, please.
OK. Audience, on your keypads.
A lot of money riding on this, so do pay attention.
This is the question.
READS QUESTION
And if you'd all vote now, please.
Good. That's quite a chunk, isn't it?
It is.
Stephen has given me some reasonable feeling
that the Portuguese man-of-war is the right answer.
I'm going to play with Portuguese man-of-war. Final answer, please.
Akeem, I'm afraid you've just lost £15,000.
Oh, no!
Dear, oh, clear... Can I make you feel even worse?
I knew the answer.
Oh, no! It was seahorse.
Oh!
Oh, no, that is awful. I mean, you are leaving with, though,
I have to say this as truly as I can manage,
with £1,000! That's very true.
No, I'm really, really sorry about that, Akeem. I'm really sorry.
It's been fun having you. Akeem Miller, ladies and gentlemen!
APPLAUSE
Deary me.
It's a cruel show sometimes, it really is.
Anyway, we have four contestants left.
And once again, they're going to play Fastest Finger First.
Quiet in the audience, please. Here comes the question.
HE READS QUESTION
MUSICAL CRESCENDO
OK, time's up. So, let's have a look first of all at the correct order.
Bambi, that was the earliest.
Then Tinker Bell.
Then Mowgli. And then Buzz Light year.
And now let's see
how many people got that right.
Two of you did.
And who was the quickest?
It was Linn Davies
in 2.38 seconds!
Well done, Linn.
APPLAUSE
Well done.
So, you are Linn Davies,
a disability inclusion specialist from Brighton.
That's right.
Although, I gather, originally from Norway.
That's right as well. Well, that's 200 quid for me, then!
LAUGHTER
You know the rules, don't you? Yes, I do.
Okey-doke, well, let's get cracking, then, shall we?
Let's play Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
APPLAUSE
This is your question for £100.
HE READS QUESTION
That is a toast. Final answer.
And that's £100. Well done.
APPLAUSE
And this is for £200.
READS QUESTION
That is C, embassy. Final answer.
And that is 200 quid.
APPLAUSE
This is your £300 question.
READS QUESTION
I know this one because we always used to playjedis
when we were kids,
and we always used to say, "May the force be with you."
Ancl that is my final answer.
And that is the right answer. £300.
APPLAUSE
OK, £500 question.
READS QUESTION
I, erm...
I don't think it's a saw.
I also don't think it's a spanner.
It's very early in the game,
but I am going to use the 50/50 lifeline, if possible.
OK, computer, could you take away two wrong answers, please?
So, you're left now with spanner and chisel.
I honestly do not know. So, I am going to ask you, Jeremy.
Okey-doke. Here's what I think.
I only ever use a hammer.
It solves absolutely everything in...
Anything you ever want to do can be sorted out with a hammer.
Particularly when it comes to computers and Wi-Fi routers!
LAUGHTER
It's a spanner.
I've never heard the two being...
It's so early on. It's not a chisel.
Listen, I know it's a spanner. And that is my final answer.
All right, you know, my knowledge, when it comes to tools,
is absolutely terrible.
I try not to touch them.
But I am going to trust you and go with spanner as my final answer.
OK, computer, could you reveal the correct answer?
Yes, it's spanner.
APPLAUSE
I've absolutely no idea what either of them do.
But there we are, they're the same thing, wrenches and spanners.
OK, this is your £1,000 question.
This is your last chance to go away empty-handed.
Here it comes.
READS QUESTION
That is a QR code. Final answer.
And that's £1,000. Well done, you've made it.
APPLAUSE
You made it.
And now it's competition time,
and here's your chance to win £125,000.
APPLAUSE
Welcome back to the final part of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
We're here with Linn. She's on £1,000.
Two lifelines remaining.
And would you like to set your safety net at £2,000?
No, I would like to keep playing.
OK, this is your question.
HE READS QUESTION
Oh, you know, Jeremy,
I was really sad about this one when it closed down
because it's a shop I really enjoyed going to.
I bought lots of my wedding gear there.
So, Debenhams. Final answer.
And the right answer. Yeah, the right answer.
APPLAUSE
So, if you won a lot of money, what would you spend it on?
I'm a singer, so I would love to complete my recording studio.
Ancl also, I have a dream of helping blind people in Sierra Leone,
where my husband is from.
I don't know which way I would help, but if I won a lot of money,
I would definitely want to do something for them as well.
So, the people in Sierra Leone and a recording studio.
Basically, yeah.
That's what we're aiming for. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gotcha. Well, let's see how far we can get you up this ladder.
Only nine questions away from a million quid.
It doesn't sound so hard when you say that.
It's a piece of cake. But we shall see.
Let's find out. Do you want to set your safety net at £4,000?
No, thanks. Right, here's the question.
READS QUESTION
Oh, I...
I'm pretty sure its captain.
But what I'm going to do
is I'm going to ask the audience about this one.
Okey-doke.
Audience, on your keypads, please.
This is the question.
READS QUESTION
And if you'd all vote now, please.
Right, so here are the results.
Captain's only got 11%.
Lieutenant has 1 %.
Major has 19%.
And colonel has a fairly significant 69%.
OK, you know what? I came here with zero pounds.
I would hate to lose,
but I am going to trust the audience
and say that colonel is my final answer.
And you are wise to trust the audience,
because that is the right answer.
And you now have £4,000.
APPLAUSE
Well done, audience. And well done, you, for changing your mind.
OK, would you like to set your safety net at £8,000?
No, thank you. OK, here's your question.
READS QUESTION
I do think that brusque means sort of strict.
Succinct means something very to the point.
Laconic is when you are sort of nonplussed
or don't have any emotions.
I've never actually heard of garrulous,
but I think I'm going to go for that
because it's the only one that is new to me.
So, I am going to say garrulous. Final answer.
Well, it was the one you've not heard of. And it's the right answer.
So you've just won £8,000.
APPLAUSE Well done, Linn.
And now I have to ask you
if you want to set your safety net at 16,000.
No, Jeremy, I would like to keep playing.
OK. This is the question.
READS QUESTION
I think it's Tom Daley,
but I would really like to phone a friend.
All right, who are we calling?
I would like to call Michael Green, please.
Michael? Right, can we call Michael?
Who's Michael? Michael is my mentor.
A very wise man.
Let's see if he knows his sports and his knighthoods.
Hello? Hi, Michael?
Hello, Jeremy. Hi, there. Well guessed!
Yes, absolutely, it is Jeremy.
And as I'm sure you know, we have Linn here.
Can I just check that you've got someone from our office there
making sure you're not looking stuff up?
I certainly have.
OK, slightly different this time. I'm going to read the question out
and the four possible answers in just 30 seconds.
Which is a really, really small amount of time, Michael.
So, get your skates on, right?
Right, I'll start the clock.
It starts now.
READS QUESTION
HE REPEATS ANSWERS:
I believe...
...it was Lewis Hamilton.
How certain are you?
It's either Lewis Hamilton...
I believe it's Lewis Hamilton.
Ah, 30 seconds is just so quick.
Right, what do you want to do with that, Linn?
I'm putting my trust in Michael here,
and I'm going to go with Lewis Hamilton. Final answer.
And is the right answer.
So, that's fantastic. You've just got £16,000.
APPLAUSE
However, you now have no lifelines remaining.
Would you like to set your safety net at 32,000?
Yes, please, Jeremy.
I was going to make a big suggestion that you did,
but you've already decided to do that.
So, computer, could you set the second safety net at £32,000?
Right, now, of course, we've got to get you there.
This is the question.
READS QUESTION
I'm going to make a very short process of this.
I have absolutely zilch idea.
So, repeating the question isn't going to change your mind on that?
It is not.
I would like to leave here with £16,000,
so I am going to take my money, and that is my final answer.
OK. It, er...
...pleases me to tell you, Linn Davies, from Brighton,
you're leaving here with £16,000.
Well done. Well done. It's a lot of money.
I hope that, erm...
APPLAUSE
...helps the people of Sierra Leone
and goes some way towards your recording studio,
which would be good.
If you had just guessed
which of these motorway services is on the M1,
Leigh Delamere, Newport Pagnell, Abington or Knutsford,
what would you have gone for?
The problem is I haven't heard of any of the places,
so I would guess the one that I think has the prettiest name,
which is Leigh Delamere.
You see, if you had done that, you would have lost £15,000.
A good thing I didn't. A good thing you didn't.
The correct answer is Newport Pagnell.
Also where they used to make Aston Martins.
There's another little bit of information for you.
It doesn't matter, though, cos you've done jolly well.
It's been absolutely delightful having you here.
Ladies and gentlemen, Linn Davies!
Well done, Linn.
APPLAUSE
And I am afraid that's it for this show and, indeed, this series.
And what a series it's been.
We've had someone go home with enough to buy themselves a house.
Someone going home with not enough to buy anything at all.
And someone who went home with £1,000, having lost 63,000.
And we'll be back doing it all again
at some point in the not-too-distant future.
Until then, take care. Good night.
APPLAUSE
