CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you so much. Thank you. Very generous.

Hello, and welcome to Millionaire Hot Seat.

It's Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? for the terminally impatient.

It's against the clock, there are no Lifelines,

and if you mess it up, someone else gets to take your place.

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

OK, now, before the show,

there was a random draw to see who gets into the Hot Seat first,

and the winner of that was... James Hammond.

So, James, if you'd like to... APPLAUSE

..take your seat over there.

I'll sit over here.

Right, so, you're James Hammond, managing accountant from Redditch.

Correct. Welcome to the show.

Thank you very much. Pleasure to be here.

I'm going to talk you through the rules,

cos there are one or two you do need to know.

First of all, 15 questions,

get them all right, you win £1 million.

There are no Lifelines, though, but you can pass.

You then go and sit over there, and that is your Pass used up.

If you make it back into the chair later on, you can't use it again.

OK, clear? Clear.

If you answer and get it wrong, two things happen.

Number one, the top rung disappears from the ladder.

The prize money shrinks.

And you go home.

Ah. Getting it wrong, bad.

Let's play Millionaire Hot Seat. APPLAUSE

Right, now...

..this is for £100, and you have 15 seconds to answer.

Big football fan, so I'm assuming

thistle would be on the Scottish badge, daffodil on the Welsh.

Not sure about the tulip,

but I'm pretty certain it is a red rose.

Final answer.

Correct. Well done. APPLAUSE

This is for £200.

Only...

Well, I suppose, electrocardiograph, you would connect to your chest.

Stethoscope, I suppose, "steth".

Five seconds. Looks likely.

Stethoscope, final answer.

And the correct answer again. Well done.

Nice work.

Let's have a look at the £300 question.

My mum would be yelling at me

through the telly right now with this one.

But I can't say I know for sure, so I'm going to pass.

Okey doke.

If you'd like to go and sit over there

with your fingers crossed that you'll be back,

and we shall bring out the next contestant.

Thank you very much, James. APPLAUSE

Welcome. You're Des Davis. I am.

A breakdown recovery dispatcher from Bilston.

That's correct.

Now, the problem we have straightaway is you can't pass.

You've got to answer this, whether you like it or not.

# Closer each... #

Erm, I'm singing it to myself.

That would be Home And Away, final answer, Jeremy.

And the correct answer. Well done, Des.

Well done.

Now, your Pass has become available.

This is for £500.

Hmm...

I could pass. I think I'm gonna...

Five seconds. Five seconds.

Squab, final answer.

And the correct answer. APPLAUSE

You had me worried there. DES LAUGHS

I had myself worried. Yeah, you...

But anyway, it doesn't matter. Yeah.

Because here is a question for £1,000.

SIGHS I don't think it's Dracula.

I don't think it's Frankenstein.

Erm...

I'm gonna go for Dorian Gray, final answer.

That is the correct answer, well done.

Right, now, what that means is we're up to £2,000.

You now have 30 seconds to answer the questions.

Yeah. Here we go.

Pass still available. This is your £2,000 question.

Er, OK. Erm...

I don't think it's the Wear

because there's only England up in that part of the world.

Exe, I don't know what it is, but...

..Jeremy... Ten seconds.

..I believe it is the River Severn.

So I'm gonna... Final answer, River Severn.

You got the right answer. Well done.

Well done. APPLAUSE

So, that's £2,000, and, hey,

we still have a top prize of a million quid.

So, let's have a look at the question for £3,000, shall we?

Well, Jeremy, on this one, it would be a total guess,

so I think, on this one, I'm gonna use a Pass.

Don't blame you. You've done very, very well.

So, Des, if you'd like to go and sit over there

we shall bring out our next contestant.

Move along one.

Hoping to get back here, but for now,

we have Verity Gill, marketing analyst from Woodbridge.

And straightaway, I have bad news.

I know. You can't pass.

So let's hope you know your pasta shapes

because this is the question you must answer.

So, I don't 100% know.

I know farfalle, I think, is like the bow tie.

Conchiglie, I'm thinking, is a shell, conch,

so I'm thinking that's the shell-shaped one.

Rigatoni, when it came up, I felt like that was probably it.

So... cos I can't pass,

I'm gonna say rigatoni, final answer.

Bit of a guess? Little bit, yes.

But it worked, cos that's the right answer.

Relief. Well done.

That's marvellous. We're now up to £5,000...

Great. ..which is great news.

Here's the question.

Mm-hm.

Yep, getting flashbacks. I think I did it for my GCSE.

I am pretty sure that it is eye of newt, final answer.

Well remembered. Only a couple of years.

Yeah, obviously (!) Thank you. LAUGHTER

And it was the right answer. Yeah. Well done.

Yeah, excellent.

£7,500 is up for grabs now.

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

OK, I think I know this, but I don't...

I know it's not Toyota.

I know it's not Renault.

Skoda is the bird.

So I think... Yeah. Ten seconds.

Do you know what? I'm not 100% sure.

So I'm going to play my Pass.

You might not get back in. Yep.

Where are we? Yeah, you see, everybody's still here. Mm-hm.

I think this is the nicest person. LAUGHTER

She's basically protected the top prize

by passing and sacrificed herself.

You owe her a drink.

But in the meantime, Verity,

if you'd like to go and sit over there.

Bring out the next contestant.

Andrew Cuthbertson. Hello.

Dog trainer from Tulse Hill, in London. Yes.

You can't pass. 30 seconds to answer. This is the question.

So, unfortunately, you're the worst person for me to say this to,

but I know nothing about cars.

I know the Toyota is like a... the logo's made up of the letters.

BMW is, like, the white-and-blue one.

So it's between those two.

At first, I thought Renault,

but then Verity said that she knew it wasn't Renault.

Was she bluffing?

Ten seconds. I have no idea.

I'm gonna go...

Five. ..Skoda, final answer.

That was a look of pure panic on your face there

with five seconds to go...

unnecessarily, because that is the correct answer.

Well done. APPLAUSE

OK, still got a million pounds at the top, which is great,

but I'm afraid we must now take a short break.

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

APPLAUSE

APPLAUSE

Welcome back to Millionaire Hot Seat.

Andrew is currently in the Hot Seat.

This question is worth £10,000, Andrew.

You can pass. 30 seconds to answer it.

Here we go.

So, I know it's not Amazon.

Dementors, I don't know if they're real.

I just know them from Harry Potter.

So I'm torn between berserker or barbarian.

I... Nothing is... Nothing is jumping out at me.

So I think, yeah, I'm...

I'm gonna do everyone else a solid and pass, I think.

What lovely people we have. LAUGHTER

What genuinely lovely people we have.

OK, Andrew, if you'd go and sit over there, please,

and we shall bring out our next contestant.

APPLAUSE

And you are, Anna Blackhall, a teacher from Newcastle.

I am. Welcome.

This is for £10,000. You can't pass, I'm afraid.

Here's the question.

I'm not 100% certain,

but I think I can hopefully agree and rule out Dementor and Amazon.

And I think if we're thinking about a wild

or uncontrolled trance-like ferocity,

that sounds like "going berserk".

So, obviously, I can't pass, but I'm not 100% certain,

but I'll go berserker, final answer, please.

Good logic.

And the right answer. Nice work. Well done.

Yeah, you did very well there.

Now, £20,000 question,

and what that means is you get 45 seconds to answer, all right?

Let's have a look at the question, shall we, for £20,000?

I think a hedgehog definitely does.

I think dormouse probably do as well.

I think I'm going to play this one, and I'm not 100% certain,

but I think it might be the common pipistrelle bat, final answer.

And you are, I'm afraid, our first casualty.

That is the wrong answer. European badger.

It's, annoyingly, the European badger.

Oh, dear, yeah, and, I'm afraid, we have to say goodbye

after a very brief trip to the chair.

Ladies and gentlemen, Anna Blackall.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

And if you'd like to come along. APPLAUSE

So...

..Ruxshin Bajina, accountant from Harrow, welcome. Thank you.

Bad news straightaway is that we've lost the million-pound prize.

Yes. But, hey, it's still a quarter of a million.

This is for £20,000, and you have 45 seconds to answer.

Here's the question.

So, I'm trying to think.

That's close to perhaps the Second World War.

I'm trying to think what sort of words go with "Alexandria".

G7, I'm not sure if that's five nations. 30 seconds.

Yeah, I'm not too sure about this one,

so I think I might take a punt.

Ten seconds.

I think I will guess at Arab League.

Final answer? Final answer.

At one second... SHE CHUCKLES

..that is the right answer.

Oh. APPLAUSE

You're like, "Oh."

JEREMY CROAKS, SHE CHUCKLES

Well done. Now, that's very, very good indeed.

And what that means is this question is for £50,000.

Let's have a look. You still have your Pass.

I think Timothee Chalamet would have been most recently.

He's quite young still, so I think he would have been quite young,

but same with Saoirse Ronan.

Leonardo DiCaprio, I think he would have got that

quite early on, perhaps with Titanic,

which was a while ago.

Jennifer Lawrence, also quite young.

I think I'm gonna take a punt again.

And just judging by how young Timothee Chalamet is,

and he's been sort of in the industry for a while...

Ten seconds.

..I'll go with D, Timothee Chalamet, final answer.

I'm really sorry, that's the wrong answer.

So, it's, er... It is actually Saoirse Ronan...

..who was 13...

Oh, wow. ..for Atonement.

So I'm really sorry about that.

I'm afraid we have to say goodbye.

Ladies and gentlemen, Ruxshin Bajina. Thank you.

Sorry, bad luck. If you'd like to come back now.

Welcome back.

Thank you. Welcome back, James.

It feels like a long time since you were here. Absolutely.

But you did get us up to £300. You did well to start with.

So, top prize is now £100,000.

That's what you're aiming for. That's a lot.

All right, let's have look at the question.

You can't pass, remember. OK, you've got 45 seconds.

This is the question.

So, Gibraltar, I believe, falls under Europe,

judging by the football, off the coast of Spain, I think.

Bermuda, I believe, is...

..Atlantic Ocean somewhere.

Montserrat. Saint Helena.

Twenty seconds.

Unfortunately, I do not know where Montserrat or St Helena are.

I'm gonna have to take a punt

on the small amount of knowledge I have on this one.

Can't pass, unfortunately.

So I'm gonna go with Bermuda, final answer.

And I'm sorry, but that is the wrong answer.

It's Saint Helena, which is 4,673 miles away from London.

Montserrat, 4,123.

Bermuda, virtually next door, 3,449.

And then Gibraltar, just over 1,000.

Been fun having you, though, but, ladies and gentlemen, James Hammond.

APPLAUSE Good luck, James.

Sorry about that. Des.

Welcome back. Now... Hm.

..a few things I need to clear up.

I'm afraid to say this is the last question

that we're about to have now,

which means, I'm afraid, you won't be involved any more.

But, Des, it's all down to you, and this is how it works.

You can't pass.

You're gonna have to answer the question. Yeah.

If you get it right, you win £50,000.

Mm-hm.

If you get it wrong, we'll give you a thousand. Oh.

So there's £49,000 riding on your answer to this question.

Hm. SIGHS

Truth be known, Jeremy, I've not heard of any of these.

I don't have a scooby doo. Erm...

I probably pronounced them all wrong.

DES CHUCKLES

If I was to eliminate one first, I would say Machu Picchu.

Erm...

Something's drawing me towards Ancient Thebes, and...

Fifteen seconds. I'm gonna lock in Ancient Thebes.

I'll go for that one, Jeremy.

Final answer? Final answer.

I'm sorry, Des, that's the wrong answer.

Oh, that's awful.

I was rather hoping you'd win that one.

The correct answer is the Chichen Itza. OK.

It's the iconic step pyramid,

also known as El Castillo, "The Castle".

Oh, that's awful. I do...

I feel very sorry for you, but you are leaving here

not completely empty-handed.

We'll give you £1,000.

It's been a good day. Thank you very much, Jeremy.

And... APPLAUSE

Thank you very much for playing. Thank YOU very much for playing.

Join me next time,

when six new players will be here, all hoping to win £1 million.

See you then. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
