CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Hello, and welcome to Millionaire Hot Seat.

It's like Who Wants To Be A Millionaire,

but the six contestants are on their own and against the clock.

Let's meet them. They are...

Will Bell from Otford.

Kym Reynolds from Brighton.

Luke Fletcher from Aberdeen.

Jay Haughton from Horley.

Daisy Kilby from Birmingham.

And Veronica Wint from Essex.

Now, before the show, there was a random draw

to see who goes in the Hot Seat first,

and the winner of that was Will Bell!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Well done, Will.

Didn't need your fast fingers.

Just the luck of the draw.

Right, welcome, you're Will Bell, an analyst team leader from Otford,

wherever that is. In Kent.

In Kent, there we are.

Now, then, a couple of things I ought to talk you through,

rules-wise, before we begin.

15 questions, get them all right,

you win a million pounds.

Easy. That's the easy bit.

There are a couple of changes, though,

from the old show.

First of all,

if you're not sure about what the answer is, you can pass.

If you do that, you go to the back of the queue, all right?

Next contestant takes your place, but that is your pass used up.

You can't use it again.

Now, if you get the answer wrong, two things happen.

Number one, the top rung from the ladder goes.

The prize money shrinks, OK?

And the second thing that happens is you go home.

Better to pass, then, really, than get it wrong.

OK, so, are you ready? Ready as I'll ever be.

We'll pick all the rest of it up as we go along. Don't worry about it.

OK, well, let's play Millionaire Hot Seat.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, best of luck, Will.

You've got 15 seconds to answer this question,

OK, for £100. Here we go.

Well, I'm pretty sure that this is escape,

so I'm gonna go for esc, final answer, please.

Well done. That is the correct answer.

That's £100. Thank you.

APPLAUSE

Now things get trickier.

This is for £200.

Well, I don't think I've ever had one of these,

but I'm hoping it's not a trick question,

so I'm gonna say honey, final answer.

And the correct answer.

APPLAUSE

Yeah, that was quite an easy one, I think.

You all would have got honey? Yeah, I would have got honey.

Right, this one's worth £300.

Well, I think this is all to do with shortages of food, rationing, etc.

So that is Dig For Victory, final answer.

And the correct answer. Well done, £300.

APPLAUSE

OK, now, this is for £500.

Well, I think I do know this one...

...but I'm gonna use my pass at this point.

Is that strategic?

It's a little bit of, "I don't wanna get it wrong and look silly,"

and it's a little bit... maybe.

Cos I'm just thinking, if you go back there now,

there's a greater chance of you being back in that chair

before the game ends.

That's a theory. I think he does know.

He's strategically passing, but whatever.

If you'd like to take your seat over there, then,

please, and we'll bring out the next contestant.

APPLAUSE

So, Kym Reynolds, marketing manager from Brighton, welcome.

Thank you, Jeremy. Best of luck.

Now, then, here's another rule, which I didn't explain before.

You now can't pass.

If somebody before you's passed, you have to answer this, OK?

So, let me remind you of the question.

JEREMY REPEATS QUESTION

Right, well, I am... thinking it is first and fifth,

and, obviously, you can sort of brain-freeze

in these sort of situations.

So I... And I can't pass, so I think I'm going to...

Quickly. ...say first and fifth, final answer.

You nearly ran out of time there.

But you made it with one second to go, and that is the correct answer.

Well done.

APPLAUSE Thank you.

Yeah, so the pattern is AABBA,

so the first, second and fifth lines rhyme with each other.

Okey-doke, now this is for £1,000. Right.

So, I'm not going to waffle on now,

and say that it's definitely The 1975, final answer.

You seem very confident.

Yeah. And you are right to be confident

because that is the correct answer.

APPLAUSE That is £1,000.

So, well done, you.

Now, then, £2,000 question coming up, and...

You might imagine the time gets less.

It doesn't. Because the questions get harder, you get longer.

You get 30 seconds. Right.

Still not a long time, but it's longer.

So, this is for £2,000.

I used to be WD in my school team, wing defence,

so GS is goal shooter or goal scorer, WA is wing attack.

So the answer that is not used is CK, final answer.

Correct answer. Well done, £2,000.

APPLAUSE

Right, now it's a £3,000 question.

Again, 30 seconds to answer it.

I've eaten it, and I'm...

Oh, I think I know what the answer is,

but I'm a bit... I would have used 50/50 in the old school.

REPEATS QUESTION

READS ANSWERS

So, I'm going to pass, please, Jeremy.

That was a surprise at the last minute, but, OK, fair enough.

If you'd like to take your seat over there,

and let's bring out the next contestant, please.

APPLAUSE

You've had time to think about this, of course, which helps, I'm sure.

But welcome, anyway, Luke Fletcher, health and safety inspector.

Mmm, my favourite people. LAUGHTER

From Aberdeen. Despite your job, I wish you all the very best.

Thank you. I'll read out the question for you.

REPEATS QUESTION

I'm really not sure.

I'm thinking it's between A and B, a seed or a legume.

I've eaten it, it's kind of soft.

It has got, like, a shell around it. I think of seeds as being hard.

But I really don't... 15 seconds.

Really don't know. And you can't pass.

I'm trying to think. Have I ever seen one sprout a root?

Maybe it's a fungus.

Five seconds.

Nut, seed. I'm gonna have to go legume, B, final answer.

Only one second left.

But the wrong answer, I'm afraid.

Oh, and you've come all the way from Aberdeen. Argh! I'm so sorry.

The correct answer is in fact...

it's a seed.

So, I'm sorry, we must now say goodbye

and bring out the next contestant, please.

See you, Luke.

APPLAUSE

Right.

You're Jay Haughton, sales manager from Horley.

I am, yeah. One bit of bad news... Actually, it's weird, isn't it?

Because, obviously, you're happy

he's gone, cos you're now in the chair... Yeah.

...but because he's gone, we've lost the million-pound prize.

That is a shame.

Yeah. So you're happy and sad simultaneously.

We're down to £250,000 now,

but it's still a chunk of change,

and you're only eight questions away from it.

Let's do it. I wish you all the very best.

This is your question for £3,000.

Well, that film was a stalwart

of my childhood.

I've probably watched it as many times as I've watched any film.

So, that's "get to the chopper", B, final answer.

And the correct answer.

APPLAUSE

I'm interested in your childhood. Yeah.

I used to have to watch Tom And Jerry

and Ring Of Bright Water.

Different times, Jeremy. Very different, definitely.

Anyway, I'm afraid we've got to stop talking now

because we have to take a break.

We'll be back in a few moments. See you then.

APPLAUSE

Welcome back to Millionaire Hot Seat.

We're joined in the Hot Seat at the moment by Vin Diesel.

LAUGHTER

He does look incredibly like Vin Diesel,

although he goes by the name of Jay Haughton.

Right, top prize now, £250,000.

All right?

This next question is for £5,000.

OK. Here it comes.

30 seconds to answer it.

Right, so, it's not Cleopatra.

It's during the, erm...

...Anglo-Saxon times, er...

and so, I'm gonna say, rightly or wrongly,

B, Edward the Confessor, final answer.

Nice work, Vin. That is the correct answer. Well done.

APPLAUSE

And actually, it's the events leading up to the Norman Conquest.

Yeah. Exactly right.

So, this is for £7,500.

Still 30 seconds to answer it. Let's have look at the question.

Hm.

It's a difficult question.

I'm... 15 seconds.

Risk it for a biscuit.

And I'm gonna say H, final answer.

I'm afraid that is the wrong answer.

You were doing very well...

but not then.

There's three with H. Haiti, Honduras and Hungary.

How many did you have? Two.

Two, OK.

I had two with Z, which is... The answer actually is Z. Right.

Zambia and Zimbabwe, next door to each other.

Fiji, Finland and France.

Jamaica, Japan and Jordan.

Well, I'm really sorry about that, Jay,

but it does mean... It's been a pleasure.

...A, we lose the £250,000 top prize.

Sorry about that, everybody. And, B, we have to say goodbye to you.

Ladies and gentlemen, Jay Haughton. Thank you. Thank you.

Next contestant, there we are.

Welcome, you're Daisy Kilby, a cyber security analyst...

Yes. ...from Birmingham.

New question for you, which means you do have a pass available.

Oh, my God.

Top prize now, £100,000. Still pretty good.

Yeah, still a lot of money.

Righty-ho, here is your question.

I haven't got a clue...

so I'm just going to pass.

Brief time in the chair. Barely warmed it up.

Well, OK, if you'd like to go and warm that one up now,

and let's bring out the final contestant.

APPLAUSE

Hello. Hello, Jeremy.

Hello, Veronica Wint, recruitment manager from Essex.

I am indeed. Very good luck.

You can't pass on this.

I know. Which is a bit stressy, I'm sure.

Let me read the question for you again.

REPEATS QUESTION

Right, fitting that a vegetarian will get the question on a pig.

So, stab in the dark, er...

Charlotte's Web, final answer.

I'm afraid that's the wrong answer. OK.

Oh, dear. No, I'm really sorry about that.

The correct answer is The Story Of Doctor Dolittle.

The pigs in the other books... The Sheep-Pig is Babe.

Yeah. Charlotte's Web is Wilbur.

Animal Farm is Napoleon, Snowball, Old Major and Squealer.

Right. So I'm really sorry about that,

but I'm afraid, Veronica, we've got to say goodbye.

Bye. Ladies and gentlemen, Veronica Wint.

Bye-bye. APPLAUSE

Thank you. We can bring out Will again.

Right, now, Will, welcome back. Thank you, thank you.

You left us when the ladder was on £500.

It's currently on £5,000. Yeah.

Top prize is now £50,000

because of that incorrect answer.

You're only four questions away from it.

Shall we have a look at the £7,500 question?

And remember, you can't pass, OK, because you've already used it.

So, mercury is liquid at room temperature.

Sodium, I don't think it's sodium.

I do think gold has quite a high melting point

because it's used in wire and various other electrical things.

I think it could be tungsten, though.

So it's betw...

I think, without a pass, I'm gonna have to say tungsten, final answer.

You had to say something. You only had three seconds left.

And you are correct. Tungsten, the right answer.

APPLAUSE

This is now the £10,000 question.

Let's have a look at it, shall we?

Remember, again, you can't pass.

Definitely not my strongest area...

...films or music, which is problematic.

REPEATS QUESTION

I'm looking at B.

Ten seconds. I don't know the others,

I don't know if Eminem did get an Oscar for this,

but the film is called this...

No, it's not. It's called... Quickly.

I'm gonna say City Of Stars. It's a complete guess.

Ooh, I'm gonna take that as your final answer.

That was right on the button.

Incorrect, I'm afraid.

Really sorry.

The correct answer is The Way We Were.

The City Of Stars is from La La Land.

Lose Yourself is 8 Mile. Eminem, as you say.

Moon River, Breakfast At Tiffany's.

Oh, I'm really sorry about that, but there we are.

You were a good player. Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, Will Bell. Thank you.

APPLAUSE

Right.

Welcome back. Thank you, Jeremy.

Top prize is now just £20,000.

That's a lot of money.

Yes, it is. It's worth playing for.

You're only two questions away. Get two right, you're there.

So, Kym Reynolds, you passed on 3,000.

Here we are at 7,500. This is for £10,000.

OK, well, longest, epoch, epochal...

Eon, I don't really know what that is.

Period, I would think, is smaller.

An era, is...

I am not sure.

And so my initial reaction is to go for epoch,

cos it's sort of colloquial, you would say that as a long time.

Epoch, final answer.

Oh, no!

Wrong, I'm afraid. Oh, never mind.

It's an eon,

which is around 1 billion years.

Era, hundreds of millions of years.

Period, tens to hundreds of millions of years.

Epoch, I'm afraid, erm, five minutes. Oh!

No, it's tens of millions of years, but it is the shortest, in fact.

Oh, gosh... Well, I'm really sorry about that.

Ladies and gentlemen, Kym Reynolds.

Sorry, Kym. That's OK.

APPLAUSE We can now bring back Daisy Kilby.

Hello. This is a remarkable game.

Yeah. Cos you sat there for two seconds earlier,

passed on the only question asked. I've really not earnt it, no.

Yeah, you have definitely not earned your place

as the only remaining contestant

facing a question worth £10,000.

You can't pass.

So, let me explain how this works, OK?

This is the final question.

If you get it right, you get £10,000.

If you get it wrong, because we're generous souls,

we'll give you £1,000.

So it's either £10,000 or £1,000.

Better than I came in with, so buzzing either way. Oh, yeah.

This is your question for £10,000.

OK, I'm trying to think back to, like, history class.

The only thing that's coming to mind is a penny farthing,

which is a bike, so it's not helpful.

I haven't got a clue at all,

so this is gonna be a complete stab in the dark.

But a crown sounds like it'd be expensive

cos it's a crown, but then, is that not right...?

Is it a sixpence? Is it a shilling?

I'm gonna go for crown, final answer.

Daisy Kilby...

...you are the luckiest human being alive.

No! You've known nothing.

LAUGHTER

And you are leaving here with £10,000.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Unbelievable. Unbelievable.

Crown is the correct answer.

It's five shillings.

OK, a shilling was 12 pennies,

sixpence was six pennies, farthing, of course, was a penny.

You're not listening to a word, are you?

You're obviously thinking about

what you're going to spend your ill-gotten gains on.

LAUGHTER It's been fun having you.

Ladies and gentlemen, Daisy Kilby. Well done.

APPLAUSE

Join me next time, when six new players

will all be here, all hoping to win a million pounds.

See you then.

APPLAUSE
