APPLAUSE

CHEERING

Thank you so much. Thank you, everybody.

Hello, and welcome to Millionaire Hot Seat.

Six players answering questions against the clock

and with no Lifelines to fall back on -

it's Who Wants To Be A Millionaire but pure and distilled.

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

APPLAUSE

Before the show, there was a random draw

to see who goes in the Hot Seat first,

and the winner of that was...

Joe Beese! So, Joe...

APPLAUSE

..help yourself to the Hot Seat.

I'll come and sit over here.

And we shall get cracking. Welcome.

You're Joe Beese.

That I am. Great name.

You're a medical student from Bristol? Yes.

Now, there are one or two rules

I'm going to have to talk you through.

15 questions.

Answer them all correctly, you win a million pounds.

How simple is that?

There are no Lifelines, but you can pass.

You then go and sit over there,

the next contestant takes your place,

but if you do that, you can only do it once.

You can't use it again.

If you get a question wrong,

the top rung from the money ladder disappears, right?

The prize fund shrinks.

And the second thing that happens is... you go home.

Don't get anything wrong.

Let's play Millionaire Hot Seat.

APPLAUSE

Right, this is the first question. You have 15 seconds to answer it.

READS QUESTION

Well, I think...

golden retriever, German shepherd, Labrador - nice big dogs.

They'll do the trick. Chihuahua... not so much.

So I'd say Chihuahua, final answer.

And with three seconds remaining, you've got the answer right.

Well done. That's £100.

APPLAUSE

Righty-ho, this is for £200.

READS QUESTION

Now...

as soon as it came up,

I thought it's either Northern Ireland or Scotland.

And now, automatically,

I don't want to make an idiot of myself. Five seconds.

So I think I'm gonna pass, Jeremy. Three...

Righty-ho.

Well, if you'd like to go and sit over there in the gloom,

we shall bring out the next contestant.

APPLAUSE

You are Angela Darlow, a funeral civil celebrant.

Yes, and the odd wedding, but mainly funerals.

Right, now, because Joe passed, you can't, I'm afraid.

Yes. You have no Pass available to you.

Here it comes.

READS QUESTION

So, I'm thinking Dumfries and Galloway

is somewhere in Scotland.

Therefore, I'm gonna choose Scotland, final answer.

And that is the correct answer. Well done.

APPLAUSE Well done.

So, that means your Pass is now available again.

So that's good news. COUGHING

This is for... Don't cough now.

LAUGHTER I haven't asked the question yet.

This is for £300.

READS QUESTION

So, ammonia would smell horrendous.

Propane and butane would probably blow up.

I'm fairly sure it's carbon dioxide.

So carbon dioxide, final answer.

You've just won £300, well done.

APPLAUSE

This is for £500. Here is the question.

READS QUESTION

So, it's white, therefore not tomato puree.

I don't think it's vinegary.

Chickpeas would be hummus.

I'm sure I've had capers in tartare sauce,

so capers, final answer.

Three seconds remaining and the correct answer.

Well done. £500.

APPLAUSE

OK, this is for £1,000.

READS QUESTION

I can vaguely picture the sign,

but I really don't know what it says on it,

so I'm going to pass.

Fair enough.

You've passed, so if you'd like to go and sit over there,

that would be lovely. APPLAUSE

And we can bring out the next contestant, please.

And you are Kerri James, a comms manager from Newcastle.

Now, then, bad news, of course - you can't pass.

We've just had one, so that's not available to you.

This is the question.

READS QUESTION

Er, I think I do know the answer to this one.

I think it is "Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada".

So, final answer, fabulous.

Correct answer. We're going well today.

We're going well. APPLAUSE

So that's £1,000. Your Pass is now available, OK?

And what's more, because the questions are getting harder,

you have longer to answer them - 30 seconds, OK?

This is it, £2,000 question.

READS QUESTION

OK.

SIGHING: Erm...

I don't think it's moon or asteroid.

Erm...

I think I'm gonna go with star, final answer.

I think that is the right answer, and now I know it is.

Well done, yep.

APPLAUSE £2,000.

And the top prize is still a million.

This, though, is for £3,000.

Let's have a look at the question, shall we?

READS QUESTION

OK, so, Bono is 2, Adam Levine is 5,

Harry Styles is "One".

Er, Travis Barker is in Blink-182,

so that's definitely the highest number,

so I'm gonna go Travis Barker, final answer.

And the right answer again. Well done, yep.

APPLAUSE

It's just come up with all the explanations,

but you've done that already.

Maroon 5, U2, One Direction and Blink-182, so...

Right, now, this is for £5,000.

Here it comes, still with a Pass available.

READS QUESTION

I don't think it's Justice Secretary.

Er... I don't think it's Home Secretary.

I think it probably is more wide-ranging than that.

Er, so I think it'll be A or C, but I'm not sure.

So I think I'm gonna pass.

OK, now... you were thinking out loud there,

which is quite helpful, probably.

Possibly.

If you were being sensible, for you...

If I was being honest. We shall...

JEREMY LAUGHS We shall find out in a minute.

But, Kerri, if you'd go and sit over there for the moment.

Thank you very much.

And let's bring out the next contestant.

APPLAUSE

And you are Gary Broomes.

Cabin crew. Yes, cabin crew.

From Camden in London. Yes.

You can't pass, I'm afraid.

You're gonna have to answer this. Yes. Yeah.

This is the question.

READS QUESTION

All I know, it's definitely not the Justice Secretary, which is law.

Foreign Secretary is diplomacy.

Erm, Home Secretary is kind of all-encompassing.

Erm... SIGHS

I think it's either A or C.

Erm... Seven seconds.

I'm going to go, er, Defence Secretary, final answer.

Oh, I'm sorry, Gary, that's the wrong answer.

GARY LAUGHS

You were absolutely right to say it was A or C. Ah.

But I'm afraid it was the other one, it was the Foreign Secretary.

Oh. So I'm really sorry about that.

Home Secretary is responsible for MI5.

MI6, of course, is the abroad lot.

Oh, I'm really sorry, but you've been fun to have, albeit briefly.

LAUGHING: Briefly, yes! Ladies and gentlemen, Gary Broomes.

APPLAUSE Thank you.

We can bring out the next contestant.

Welcome. You are Merique Nelson, a housing assistant from Leeds.

Yes. OK, now...

the good news is that because Gary got that wrong,

your Pass is available to you, so you can pass.

The bad news...

we've just lost the million-pound top prize

cos that was an incorrect answer.

The top prize is now a quarter of a million pounds.

I think still worth shooting for. Definitely.

I think so as well.

This, though, is the £5,000 question.

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

READS QUESTION

So, I watch the Olympics.

However, most of my focus does go on athletics...

..but more so running.

I know that they tend to be underwater, solely, when they do it.

That's all I know.

So I'm going to have to pass on this one.

Okey-doke.

Well, if you'd like to go and sit over there, Merique,

and we'll bring out the next and indeed final contestant.

APPLAUSE

And you are Linda Gale,

a business coach and consultant from Bucklebury,

which sounds like something from an Enid Blyton novel.

It is. Where is Bucklebury?

It's in Berkshire.

Is it? In between Newbury and Reading.

OK. Right, now, you can't pass, I'm afraid.

OK. Erm, this is the question.

READS QUESTION

OK, so, I think, when they start off,

they hold on to the side, and they kick off with backstroke.

Erm... I'm pretty sure...

..it's, er...

A, freestyle.

Final answer.

The right answer.

APPLAUSE Well done.

Yeah, individual is butterfly, backstroke,

breaststroke, then freestyle.

Team is backstroke, as you just said,

breaststroke, butterfly and then freestyle.

So, well done. That's £5,000. Thank you.

But now I'm afraid we have to take a short break.

See you afterwards.

APPLAUSE

Welcome back to Millionaire Hot Seat.

Linda is in the Hot Seat at the moment, on £5,000.

Pass is available. 30 seconds to answer this question,

which is worth 7,500.

Let's have a look at it.

READS QUESTION

Mm, OK.

Not massive on Banksy,

but I'm pretty sure Crude Oil has a drum in it.

Er... Devolved Parliament, not sure.

Sweep It Under The Carpet,

I think somebody's literally sweeping it under the carpet. Erm...

Ten seconds. Yeah, OK.

I'm gonna say...

I'm gonna punt for it and go Game Changer, final answer.

Wrong answer. No!

I'm so sorry. It's Devolved Parliament.

It's the House of Commons full of chimpanzees.

Oh, of course it is.

Been fun having you, albeit briefly, though.

Ladies and gentlemen, Linda Gale.

Thank you. Thank you.

APPLAUSE

If you'd like to come back into the...

Right, welcome back, Joe.

Yeah, top prize now 100,000, thanks to that incorrect answer.

You passed when we were at £200,

and here we are at 5,000.

Remember, you can't pass cos you've already used that option. Mm-hm.

This is the question for £7,500.

READS QUESTION

OK, so, Iceland is an island...

far away, so it's not that.

Finland and Norway both border Sweden.

And because it's tunnel and bridge,

it makes me think it might be Denmark.

But then again...

Ten seconds. Can't pass, so I'm gonna have to take a punt.

I'll go with Denmark, final answer.

And the correct answer. Yes.

APPLAUSE

Right, this is for £10,000. OK?

Let's have a look at it.

READS QUESTION

Ooh, OK. Erm...

I think I can picture lemurs and koalas holding on to things.

And you need the opposable digits to do that.

Chameleon... I'm thinking of the film Tangled.

They've got the little thumbs in that one,

ain't he, that little chameleon?

Ten seconds.

Again, I'm not sure.

It's probably C or D, so I'm gonna take a punt

and say wallaby, final answer.

The correct answer. JOE CHUCKLES

APPLAUSE

I love this game.

I love your wry, slightly guilty smile

when you realised you've guessed correctly.

No, well done, that's £10,000 now.

£20,000 question,

but you get 45 seconds to answer it, OK?

Here's the question.

READS QUESTION

I'll be honest, Jeremy.

Films, no good. Literature, no good.

So this is not an ideal question for me.

But you do have hours to wallow in your self-pity. I do.

So... I've...

I've not heard of The Minority Report.

The BFG's obviously Roald Dahl.

Jurassic Park...

20 seconds. Catch Me If You Can.

This is just an...

I can't even rule out any of them.

This is just a massive, massive guess.

Ten.

When was Roald Dahl around? I'll go...

We'll go with BFG. Final answer.

You're wrong. Thought so!

THEY CHUCKLE That's really...

I'm sorry about that. No, that is the incorrect answer.

That's fine.

Yeah, the correct answer is The Minority Report,

which was written by Philip Dick in '56.

So, you weren't listening to me, were you?

You were just thinking, "Damn it.

"I've just cost myself a chance of winning big," but you have.

Fun, though, having you, Joe. Thank you very much.

Ladies and gentlemen, Joe Beese. Thank you very much. Cheers.

If we can bring back... Angela, that would be good.

It's a very steady funerial walk you've mastered there.

Thank you. Welcome back.

You can't pass. You do have 45 seconds, though,

to answer this question.

And, remember, you're aiming now at just £50,000

because of the incorrect answers that we've had so far.

Still a lot of money, though. Still a lot.

This, though, is worth 20,000. OK.

Let's see how you get on.

READS QUESTION

Right, a nightingale's a bird, nothing to do with horses or dogs.

Farthingale, penny-farthing... bicycle.

Yaffingale, you've just blatantly made up.

And I did used to ride a horse, so it's a martingale. Final answer.

Now, you see, I was thinking, "Oh, dear, she has no idea."

But you do have an idea,

and, of course, that is the correct answer.

Nicely held surprise for us there. Well done.

APPLAUSE

As you say, a nightingale is a songbird,

a farthingale is an Elizabethan hooped underskirt. Oh.

And a yaffingale - I'm surprised you didn't know this -

is a green woodpecker.

My mistake. Yeah.

We didn't make it up, as it turns out.

It's a type of bird.

Now, what that means is this.

I'm afraid you two are out of the running now.

Sorry about that. This is the final question, OK?

Now, if you get this right, you win £50,000. Wow.

Get it wrong, we'll give you 1,000. OK.

£49,000 is the difference.

Shall we have a look at the question? Let's try.

READS QUESTION

Right, well, I don't know. Erm...

Lincolnshire. What is Lincolnshire known for?

It's flat. They grow a lot of things to eat.

Apples, though, would tend to be Kent.

Yew tree, that's churchyards.

That could be anywhere.

Oak tree is the National Trust symbol,

so would it be the same for that?

Sycamore tree...

Ten seconds.

The only one that would be really obvious to me

is oak tree, final answer.

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

Oh, God, I'm so sorry, Angela.

The correct answer is apple tree.

If only you'd have stuck with that...

Fair enough. .."things to eat" line.

Woolsthorpe Manor is Isaac Newton's family home. Oh.

It's the tree from which the apple fell

which inspired Newton's famous discovery.

Oh, I'm sorry about that,

but you are leaving here, nevertheless, with £1,000.

So well done. Thank you.

Sorry about that.

Thank you very much for playing, Angela, all of you.

And join me next time, when six new players will be here,

all hoping to win a million pounds.

See you then.

APPLAUSE
