APPLAUSE

APPLAUSE CONTINUES

Very kind. Very kind. Thank you.

Hello, and welcome to Millionaire Hot Seat.

Now, if you boil the bones of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire,

this is the delicious broth you end up with.

Timed answers, no lifelines,

and five other players waiting to jump into your place

if you mess it up.

Let's meet tonight's contestants. They are...

Good. Now, before the show, there was a random draw

to see who goes in the Hot Seat first.

And the winner of that was... Chris Evans!

Welcome, Chris.

APPLAUSE

There's your seat, help yourself.

Welcome.

So, you're Chris Evans, a science teacher from Birmingham?

That's right. Nice to see you've dressed up for the occasion.

Thank you very much.

Now, there are one or two rules I ought to talk you through

before we start.

Fifteen questions. Get them all right, you win a million pounds.

You've no lifelines, but you can pass.

If you do that, you go to the back of the queue,

and that's your pass used up.

You only get one per show.

If you get the question wrong,

we lose the top rung from the ladder, prize money shrinks,

and you go home.

OK, you ready? I'm ready.

Let's play Millionaire Hot Seat.

APPLAUSE

Good, good.

Now, we've got 15 seconds to answer this question,

which is worth £100. Here we go.

OK, so you have speeches at all of these events,

but, of course, a best man's speech would be the best man of a groom.

So, the answer is D, wedding, final answer.

Correct answer. Well done. That's £100.

This is for £200.

OK, so you've got both metric and imperial there.

So, I know that a pint is less than a litre.

A fluid ounce would, of course, be the smallest there.

I'm going to lock in D, one fluid ounce, final answer.

Two seconds left...

But the correct answer. Thank you.

Well done. Well done.

This is for £300.

I'm pretty sure you have Angus beef, so therefore you would assume...

You would know this, wouldn't you, Jeremy?

I'm going to go for C, cattle, final answer.

And the correct answer, well done.

Right, this is for £500.

OK, McFly was all boys, The Pussycat Dolls all girls,

Little Mix all girls.

Steps are three girls and two boys. That's 60%.

So, the answer is A, Steps.

Final answer.

And the correct answer, yes, well done.

APPLAUSE

We are speeding along, and we've reached £1,000.

This is the question.

So, I think it's the Hong Kong Dollar.

But I'm not 100%.

But it is only for 1,000.

Four seconds.

I'm going to lock in B, HKD, final answer.

And the correct answer.

Oh, no. Oh, wait, it's right!

I thought you were going to tell me I was wrong then. No!

Although I was slightly intrigued by the notion of, "It's only £1,000."

If you get it wrong, the million-pound prize is gone.

That's true, yeah.

This lot would have properly hated you if you'd have done that. Yep.

Righty-ho, now, as we're above £1,000,

you therefore get longer to answer them.

30 seconds now, OK?

This is your £2,000 question.

OK. I don't know the answer. So, I believe...

I don't want to even add any help or information to the next player,

because I think I'd be leading them down...

the wrong path.

So I'm going to pass, Jeremy,

and take my place at the back of the line.

Okey-doke. Thanks, Chris. You've done very well so far,

but keep your fingers crossed you'll be back later.

And let's bring out the next contestant.

APPLAUSE

Welcome, Bobby Freeman, IT support engineer, from Gateshead.

Hello, Jeremy.

Right, now, the bad news is you can't pass, I'm afraid.

We've just had a pass, you can't.

You have to answer this question. Yeah.

You have 30 seconds.

So, I was actually quite glad that this got passed to me,

because I think I know the answer.

I know Hermes aren't known, really, for making watches.

Perfumes, I know they do. Probably scarves as well.

But I know the Birkin bag

is one of the most sought-after handbags, I think.

So, yeah, I think off the back of that,

I'm going to have to go A, handbag, final answer.

And the right answer. Nice work.

APPLAUSE Nice work.

The Birkin bag.

Yep. Now, good news, your pass is now available to you.

This question is for £3,000.

I think I know this as well.

I believe it's usually a blue background with white,

and I believe it's three triangles

in sort of a two on the bottom, one on the top,

or the other way around.

It's definitely not two squares. I don't think it's stars.

I don't think I've seen that before. Ten seconds.

I'm going to lock in B, three triangles, final answer.

Correct answer. Nice.

Well done. Well done.

All six contestants are still here,

and the top prize is therefore still a million pounds.

Now, this is for £5,000.

So, initially, I'm thinking MAIL could be Massachusetts and Illinois.

Oh, no, I'm really bad with my American, US states.

California...

I don't know enough to probably risk it,

but my initial thought would have been B.

I'm gonna have to use my pass, I think.

Mm. Okey-doke. Bobby, let's hope we see you again later.

But in the meantime, let's bring out another contestant.

Welcome, Raza Khan,

marketing tech manager from Bradford. Yeah.

Hopefully, that little bit of out-loud thinking there

will be of some use to you,

and the time you've had to think about it.

You can't pass, remember. And this is the question.

Yep, so, as Bobby said, er, Massachu...

I can't say that state, I've got a lisp.

LAUGHTER

And also Illinois is a state,

so I will go M-A-I-L, MAIL, final answer, please.

And the correct answer. Well done, Raza. And well done, you.

Right, excellent. This is for £7,500.

The million-pound prize still available.

And your pass is now available, by the way.

Salad nicoise is something tuna.

Moules mariniere is mussels.

Cassoulet... I have no idea.

And bouillabaisse... also no idea. Erm...

Ten seconds.

I think I'll use my pass.

Wise choice. Protect that million pounds.

OK, Raza. We shall bring out another contestant.

APPLAUSE

Welcome, Michelle Hardy,

a retired finance manager, from Chesterfield. Yes.

This is the question, for £7,500.

OK, so, luckily, I do think I know this one.

Everything that Raz said is correct, and the two he didn't know,

cassoulet is beans,

and bouillabaisse is definitely fish.

Salad nicoise, I did think maybe anchovies as opposed to tuna, but...

Ten seconds. So I'm going to say, not typically seafood, cassoulet.

Final answer? Final answer.

Two seconds to go there.

But the right answer, of course. You knew that.

It's actually...

Cassoulet is a variety of meats, including pork and sausage,

but it does have beans in it, doesn't it?

Million-pound prize still available.

But now we must take a short break. See you in a minute. Bye.

APPLAUSE

APPLAUSE

Welcome back to Millionaire Hot Seat.

Michelle is currently in the Hot Seat.

Top prize still a million pounds. This is for £10,000, though.

OK, so, as much as I love literature,

Lord Of The Rings is not one of the things I'm familiar with.

So I am definitely going to use my pass on this, Jeremy.

Okey-doke. Well, I hope there's enough time to get you back.

But in the meantime, let's bring out the next contestant.

APPLAUSE

Hello. Hello.

Lucy Newton, primary school administrator from Barbon.

Right, so, bad news, you can't pass, I'm afraid.

Yeah. Good news, you've got 30 seconds to answer.

This is it.

I really don't know.

This is a really bad one that I can't pass on.

I don't think it's wizards, cos I think there's only one.

There were quite a few hobbits.

Fifteen seconds. Yeah.

Erm... I don't know, so I'm going to have to guess.

Five seconds. Yeah.

Please can I lock in hobbits?

But it's a guess, and I really don't know.

Well, it was a total guess.

And it was correct.

That is the right answer. Wow.

Yeah, there were four hobbits. So, well done.

So, it's still a million quid as the top prize. That's fantastic.

This, though, is for £20,000. OK.

And you have 45 seconds to answer. Here we go.

Well, OK.

Well, I don't know this one, either.

I don't think it's Colonel or Major General.

Major General... Oh, now I'm not sure.

I don't think it's Colonel.

I think it's between Brigadier and Field Marshal. And I think...

I really don't know. I think it's Field Marshal.

And I know that I could pass,

but, selfishly, I don't think I'll get back in. Ten seconds.

So, please can I say Field Marshal? Final answer.

Now, if that's wrong, you go home. Yes.

And the prize fund drops by £750,000.

That's what's riding on this. Sorry if I'm wrong, everybody.

£750,000 if she's got that wrong.

But you haven't. That's the correct answer!

APPLAUSE

Nice.

This is an astonishing show,

to get to this stage and still have the million pounds available.

So, this question for £50,000.

OK, just to go with the theme,

I don't know the answer to this either.

It's not a Geiger counter, because that's for background radiation.

Oh, tachograph...

A voltmeter must be... Twenty seconds. ..for electricity.

I don't know what a hygrometer is, a hygro-meter.

And a tachometer - a tachograph - you have that in a lorry.

Ten seconds. I don't... I don't know,

but please can I say... Five.

..C, final answer?

LUCY GIGGLES

Again, £750,000 riding on this. Sorry, everybody.

And you're right again.

Unbelievable.

Luckiest contestant in human history.

Well worked out, sort of, but you got there,

and that's tremendous.

So, this is for £100,000.

AUDIENCE: Ooh!

It is "ooh". You're allowed to go "ooh" for that.

This is the question.

OK.

I don't know this either. Erm...

Leonardo DiCaprio has only just won an Oscar,

and I think he's... I think he's in his 40s.

David Beckham's just been knighted, and I think he is about 50.

I didn't know that David Bowie won a BRIT Award.

Barack Obama... US Presidency...

Fifteen seconds.

That was about...

Which of these was the oldest... Ten.

..when they first achieved the following?

Erm... I wonder if it was posthumous.

Five. Please can I lock in David Bowie, number four?

D, D. D! Not four. Panicky!

Your luck's run out. Yeah. That is the wrong answer.

Yeah, I'm really sorry. Oh. With one second to go.

No, it is actually David Beckham. You were right, he was 50.

Barack Obama, 47.

Leonardo DiCaprio was 41.

David Bowie was 37 when he got his BRIT.

So, I'm really sorry about that, but we must say goodbye.

After a very good run, it must be said,

ladies and gentlemen, Lucy Newton. Oh, thank you.

Well done, Lucy. Sorry that it didn't work out.

So, let's have the next contestant in the Hot Seat.

And you're Sandra Crump, retired pet food nutritionist.

Welcome. Now, because that was an incorrect answer,

the prize fund is now a quarter of a million pounds.

It's still enormous, by any standards, OK?

That's what you're playing for.

This question, though, is for £100,000. Here it comes.

OK... Taekwondo... I think we're pretty good at Taekwondo.

I think we've won more than once.

And... artistic swimming,

I think we may have only... We may have only won once on that.

Skateboarding, I think, was introduced recently,

and we did win an Olympic medal on that, so...

I don't think it's badminton.

So I think that... Skateboarding, final answer.

Oh, no, I'm sorry. Oh, dear.

Artistic swimming. I'm sorry, it was artistic swimming.

I do apologise. Oh, no.

Won by Izzy Thorpe and Kate Shortman at Paris 2024.

That was very brief, but we must say goodbye.

Ladies and gentlemen, Sandra Crump.

APPLAUSE

So...

Welcome back.

Now, because that was an incorrect answer,

the prize fund is now at £100,000.

I have some bad news, I'm afraid, for Bobby, Raza, and Michelle.

This is the final question, so you won't be making it back.

You're going to be asked a question.

If you get the answer right, you win £100,000.

If you get it wrong, we'll give you £1,000.

This is the question.

EXHALES

I don't know.

Molly Brown. Was that something to do with Titanic?

Evita... Obviously, that's the Argentinian-set musical.

Was that before 1912? I'm actually... I'm not sure.

Annie Get Your Gun... you'd think might be after Molly Brown.

Barnum, never heard of.

Fifteen seconds.

Oh, my gosh.

It's for £100,000. Mm-hm. Ten.

My...

I'm drawn to Evita. I don't know. Five.

D, Evita, final answer. Oh, my gosh.

I'm really sorry. That's the wrong answer.

It's OK. It's OK. Thank you. I'm really, really sorry.

It's Barnum, the one you hadn't heard of. Oh, never mind.

Oh, dear, no, that's gutting.

I could say, what would you have spent the money on?

But that seems cruel, somehow.

So, yeah, Barnum, "The Showman", 1810.

And Eva Peron was 1919.

Oh, I am sorry about that, Chris. It's fine. I've had a wonderful day.

You have, and you are going away with £1,000. Can't knock that.

Thank you so much. Yeah, for half an hour's work.

And that, I'm afraid, is all we've got time for.

Join me next time, when six new players will be here,

all hoping to win a million.

See you then. Take care.
