APPLAUSE

CHEERING

Thank you so much.

Hello, and welcome to Millionaire Hot Seat.

We have six players and £1 million to give away.

But unlike Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?,

it all comes down to speed... and a little bit of luck.

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

APPLAUSE

Now, before the show, there was a random draw

to see who goes in the Hot Seat first.

And the winner of that was...

Neil Dinsdale!

So, Neil... APPLAUSE

..help yourself to the Hot Seat.

I'll go and sit over here.

And we shall get cracking.

Right, you're Neil Dinsdale, a chemistry teacher from Harrogate.

Welcome. Thank you very much.

I ought to talk you through one or two of the rules

before we get cracking, though.

There are 15 questions.

Get 'em all right, you win a million pounds.

Now, unlike the normal Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?,

there are no Lifelines.

But you can pass, but you can only do that once, OK?

If you get a question wrong...

bad things happen. LAUGHTER

Don't get a question wrong.

If you're worried at home about you don't know what's going on,

don't worry, you'll pick it up as we go along, I promise you.

Let's play Millionaire Hot Seat.

APPLAUSE

Right, for these first few questions,

you have 15 seconds to answer them. OK.

This is for £100.

READS QUESTION

I'm gonna jump straight in with that one

and say the answer's C, honeymoon - final answer.

And, of course, the right answer.

APPLAUSE

See? It's easy.

Honestly, it's easy.

This one is for £200.

OK, again, I'm feeling reasonably confident with this one.

I think I know where

at least a couple of the others are coming from,

so I'm gonna say the answer's A, Captain Sparrow.

Final answer.

And with two seconds remaining, that is the correct answer.

Well done.

Right, this is for £300.

OK, well, I'm planning a holiday to Italy and Rome next year,

and I am hoping to see the Colosseum.

So, Colosseum, final answer.

And the correct answer. Well done.

Right, so this is for £500.

Er... Oh, OK, so, I've seen the film Se7en,

and so I am... I'm gonna have a crack at this one.

I'm gonna say temperance - final answer.

Yeah, I'm not sure temperance is a sin. No.

You're right, of course, so that is £500.

Yeah.

So, this is for £1,000.

Er, again, I'll answer this one.

I think there was some argument

about the European competition they could go into.

The answer's Crystal Palace - final answer.

Correct answer. You're right, there was.

There was a bit of argy-bargy, wasn't there?

Right, now, this is for £2,000,

and because the questions now get a little bit harder,

you get longer to answer them.

30 seconds, OK? OK.

And this is your question.

OK, I've got a, er...

I've got a reasonable idea on this one,

but I don't think I'm willing to risk it and commit at this point.

I'm hoping that if I use a Pass now,

that I'll have chance to get back round into this seat at some point.

So I think the safest thing for me to do is to use my Pass.

Okey-doke. If you'd like to go now

to the back of the queue, which is what happens when you pass,

and we shall bring out our next contestant.

APPLAUSE

Hello! Hi there.

You're Millie McGee - great name. Yoga teacher from Bath. Welcome.

Thank you. You have 30 seconds to answer.

You can't pass because we've just had a Pass.

You, I'm afraid, have to answer this whether you like it or not.

This is the question.

Erm... OK, so, I know it's not Only Fools And Horses

because I know David Jason's in it, and that's a D.

The Vicar Of Dibley's Dawn French.

And now I don't know.

I think it's Joanna Lumley in Absolutely Fabulous,

and it's John Cleese in Fawlty Towers,

and I don't know anyone else.

Erm... SHE LAUGHS SQUEAKILY

Erm... LAUGHTER

Erm... J, J, J, J... Five seconds.

Joanna... I'm gonna go...

Oh, God! Three.

I'm gonna go Absolutely Fabulous.

Final answer.

That was the very definition of panic.

Thanks (!) LAUGHTER

But it worked. It's the right answer!

Oh, my goodness! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

MAN: Oh, gosh.

Yeah. Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley,

Julia Sawalha, Jane Horrocks and June Whitfield.

So your Pass now becomes available to you.

This question for £3,000.

OK, so, heads up, I know the answer.

Erm, I know it's not Boston fern - little leafy thing.

Same with the fiddle leaf fig, spider plant -

all leafy, thin leaves.

Aloe vera, they're, like, juicy inside,

so they're very succulent.

So it's aloe vera - final answer.

If I've got this wrong, it's gonna be so embarrassing.

It would be, yeah. I know the answer.

But you do know the answer! It's correct.

Well done. Yes, it is aloe vera.

Right, this is for £5,000. Here comes the question.

Erm...

I don't know.

I am gonna pass.

SHE GIGGLES I'm sorry.

No thinking out loud to help... Sorry about that.

..the next contestant there.

But for now, Millie, take your seat at the end of the queue.

Thank you. Keep your fingers crossed you come back later.

APPLAUSE If we could have...

Right, welcome, Rickesh Advani, business owner from St Albans.

Right, now, here's the situation. You can't pass, I'm afraid, on this.

You have to answer it whether you like it or not.

This is the question.

It's unfortunate. I've known every question -

apart from the five Js - prior to this,

and this one is a lot of guesswork.

I don't think it's Nike or McDonald's.

Something is making me lean towards A.

Is someone in the audience gonna cough?

JEREMY CHUCKLES Ten seconds.

Erm...

I have to make a guess. Five.

OK, final answer, A, Tesco: Every Little Helps.

One second left.

And, I'm afraid, the wrong answer.

Oh, it was just a guess. It's McDonald's: I'm Lovin' It.

That was in 2003. Tesco's been going since 1993.

Wow. I wouldn't have known that.

Well, I'm really sorry about that.

It was only very brief, and I was enjoying your trousers so much.

Ladies and gentlemen, Rickesh Advani.

Well done. Commiserations. Thank you.

Let's bring out the next contestant.

Hello. I thought punk was over.

No. It's back! And it's there in the Hot Seat.

Matt Whiteman, biotechnologist from Nottingham.

Welcome. Thank you.

Because Rickesh got that question wrong,

we've lost the million-pound top prize.

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

Still huge.

Yeah, still a nice bit in the pocket. Yeah.

OK, this is your £5,000 question.

You do have a Pass available to you,

and you have 30 seconds to answer it.

OK, the sun rises in the east,

so we're looking for the easternmost city.

California's on the West Coast.

Chicago's a little bit in.

Florida is an East Coast state,

and it kind of sticks out.

So I'm gonna... I'm gonna have a punt and say Miami - final answer.

That's what I would have gone with as well.

And we both would have been right. But you are right. Correct.

APPLAUSE Yeah.

Right, well done, you. We're up to £7,500 now.

And we're gonna be looking at that question after this short break.

See you in a minute. APPLAUSE

APPLAUSE

Welcome back to Millionaire Hot Seat.

Matt is currently in the Hot Seat.

And this question, Matt, is for £7,500.

You can pass. You have 30 seconds to answer it.

READS QUESTION

MATT EXHALES Erm...

I'm not a whiz at politics.

Definitely not a subject I was hoping to hit.

Erm... HE SIGHS

I'm... I'm leaning towards European Parliament.

But I don't think I'm sure enough

to risk going out,

so I think I'm gonna pass, please.

OK. You've thought out loud,

which is useful and kind to the following contestant.

But for now, could you go and sit back there, please?

And let's bring out the next contestant.

APPLAUSE

And you are Tanya Biggs, a pharmacy dispenser from Liskeard.

Yes. Now, tragically, you can't pass, I'm afraid.

You have to answer this question.

I'll read it for you again now.

Politics was not my strong suit at all.

I don't think it's the Central Bank.

I don't think it's Court of Justice.

I've heard the name Ursula on the news. I'm trying to figure out...

..what the background noise was. SHE LAUGHS

I've got to go for something... Ten seconds.

..so I'll go for European Parliament - final answer.

Well, it had to be one of them. Yeah.

And that, I'm afraid, was the wrong one. Ah, no!

Oh, I'm so sorry.

It was the other one you were considering.

It's the European Commission.

And I'm afraid now we have to say goodbye, ladies and gentlemen.

Tanya Biggs. So sorry, Tanya. APPLAUSE

We can bring out the next contestant.

It's heartless, this show. It's literally come and go.

And you are Lynne Murray, a writer from Glasgow.

Now, as a result of that casualty, then, the top prize is now £100,000.

Yeah. And this question, though, is worth £7,500.

Here's the question.

OK, so, I love Christmas carols and I also love singing, right?

I'm gonna say, just to move quickly,

it's not Hark The Herald Angels Sing because it's an older one.

Away In A Manger, it's...

you know, it's about animals and no sleep for a bed.

Ten seconds. "Silent night, holy night".

SHE VOCALISES Erm...

I'm gonna say it's God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen because...

Five. D, final answer.

Yeah.

You can tell you're a writer. Yeah.

LAUGHTER

You know the answer, but you're not gonna tell me

before your 30 seconds runs out.

But you did, and you were right. Well done. Yes!

SHE LAUGHS, APPLAUSE

"Remember Christ, our Saviour, was born on Christmas Day." Mm.

You did well there, and you've now got us up to £10,000.

Here is the question.

OK, so...

had it been...

So, look, I promised myself,

if I got in a question and I really wasn't sure,

I would use the one tool I had, which was the Pass,

and that's what I'm gonna do.

Okey-doke. Now, you've got to hope you get back

before the end of the show,

but let's put you over there for now and bring out...

APPLAUSE ..bring out Neil again.

Welcome back, Neil. Yeah, thank you.

Feels like two seconds since you were last here.

I was hoping to be probably a little bit further up the ladder

when I came back to the seat again.

I'm afraid it's seven and a half, and this is for £10,000.

OK, I'm trying to wrap my brains about these.

There's only one which I can make any sense of whatsoever.

I think B might be Congo, Brazzaville.

That's the only link that I can make in terms of an African country

or a capital city in Africa.

Ten seconds.

I'm gonna have to go with B, CBR - final answer.

Well, your logic made sense,

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

Oh, I'm sorry, no. It's Cairo, isn't it?

It's CAI, Cairo. Yep.

CBR is Canberra in Australia. Definitely not in Africa.

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

That's the way this game works.

Ladies and gentlemen, Neil Dinsdale.

Well done, Neil, but if you'd like to then...

bring Millie back out.

Hi.

Welcome back, squeaky Millie. LAUGHTER

The prize fund is now 50,000 cos of another casualty just then.

This is for £10,000, though. Here is the question.

OK. Erm, I haven't played...

I have played poker, but not properly.

I don't know.

I mean, I'm going towards full house and flush.

Could be wrong. Could be three of a kind or two pairs.

Erm... SHE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY

Ten seconds. I am going to go with...

Five.

Three.

..flush - final answer.

So, you just made it in time...

and you were wrong. Yeah.

No, hang on a minute. Hang on!

Sorry! LAUGHTER

Everybody at home's going, "I wonder what the right answer is."

Yeah, the correct answer was full house. Full house.

Gutted. Full house.

Well, I'm really sorry about that. It was fun having you.

Oh! I know, very sad, but ladies and gentlemen, Millie McGee.

Now you can go. Thank you.

Now you're allowed to go. And let's bring back...

..Matt Whiteman.

Welcome back, Matt. Only just left.

We're a bit stuck on this one, aren't we?

Seems so.

Top prize now - £20,000. OK, here is the question.

You can't pass. 30 seconds to answer it.

What? I can't say I've ever learnt any Hindi.

Erm... I can't...

Why would you squeeze coleslaw?

Patio, again. I guess you squeeze a shampoo bottle.

Yeah, I'm...

I think I'm gonna go shampoo, final answer.

The correct answer.

MATT LAUGHS The correct answer.

Right, now, that's bad news, I'm afraid, for Lynne.

You definitely won't be getting back in the chair.

I'm very sorry about that. LYNNE: Oh.

This is the final question of the show,

and here is how it works.

You can't pass, but you do have 45 seconds to answer it now. OK.

If you get it right, you go home with £20,000.

Enough for a whole new hairstyle.

LAUGHTER

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

So there's basically £19,000 riding on your answer to this question.

Here we go.

OK, so, 50 years before 2026 will be...

'76.

Erm...

They all seem like they're that sort of period.

I feel like Rocky's maybe a little bit later.

MATT SIGHS

I've never seen The Godfather or Apocalypse Now.

Don't know anything about them.

20 seconds. I mean, I know the rough...

Erm, I... When it first popped up...

I know it's late '70s that Star Wars came out.

Ten seconds. So I'm gonna...

I'm gonna opt for Star Wars - final answer.

And it's the wrong answer. Ah!

I'm really sorry about that. It WAS Rocky.

It was, in fact, Rocky.

Damn. 1976.

Star Wars, you were very close.

It was '77. Ah, OK.

So, erm... I'll try to put a positive spin on it.

You're going home, Matt Whiteman...

with £1,000! APPLAUSE

More than you had a few minutes ago. Yeah.

Thank you very much for playing, and thank you for watching.

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

all hoping to win a million pounds.

See you then. Take care.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
