This is Pressure Pad.
On this floor, two teams will go head-to-head across a series
of general knowledge games in an attempt to outwit each other
and leave thousands of pounds richer.
Who will keep their cool, and who will feel the heat?
It's time to take the pressure.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome to the quiz where, to win, you have to keep your cool
in the most demanding quizzing arena around - the Pressure Pad.
ROBOTIC VOICE: Pressure Pad.
Two teams will compete across a series of head-to-head games
with the aim of getting as many of their team-mates into the
final as possible.
The more players each team has in the final, the better their
chances of winning the prize fund, which currently stands at £5,000.
So, you know how things work, let's meet today's teams.
Hello, I'm Linda and I'm from Glasgow.
Today I've brought with me a combination of work colleagues
and friends.
First of all we have Adrian, then Debbie, Jim, and finally, Gerry.
Hi there.
Welcome, everybody, you all look a little tense.
THEY LAUGH
Who's work colleague and who are friends?
- Everyone bar Gerry are work colleagues. - Who's the boss?
- DEBBIE: - Linda.
Linda, OK, so Linda wears the pants in the group.
Welcome and have a great time. Pink Team!
I'm Stu, I'm from Manchester, we all work together at a bioanalytical lab.
- This is Sally... - Hello. - ..David, Amy... - Hi. - ..and Alan.
- LAUGHTER - I like that, a thumbs up.
I feel like I'm watching Thunderbird puppets,
everyone's doing that.
- Or that! So you guys are work colleagues as well? - Yes.
Do you also hang out together afterwards?
- If it's been a bad day. - That would be the pub then, wouldn't it?
- Maybe. - Yeah.
All right, welcome, and good luck to everybody.
Our first head-to-head is called Right On.
At the start of this game you choose a category.
On the Pressure Pad, you will see a series of possible answers.
Some will be correct and some will be incorrect,
your job is to identify the correct answers.
You take it in turns to give me an answer
and only have five seconds to make your decision.
To win, you'll need to think two steps ahead,
using good strategy to survive.
Captains, please decide who you want to put on the Pressure Pad.
INDISTINCT CHATTER
Debbie's good because she can move...
You know, she can move and step on the right thing.
All right. Linda, who are you going to send down to the Pressure Pad?
- Debbie's going to do this game. - All right, Debbie. And?
- For this one we're going to send down Amy. - You're going to send Amy? - Yes.
So it's a battle of the females for the first round.
Debbie and Amy, please come and join me on the Pressure Pad!
APPLAUSE
Hello. Hi, Debbie, how are you? Amy, nice to meet you.
It's time to decide who is going to play first.
It is...blue.
So, Debbie, you will decide
if you're going to play first or second.
- What'd you think, Team? - ALL: First.
Straight in there.
OK, Debbie and Amy, please take your positions on the Pressure Pad.
OK, Debbie, you are up first, and here are the categories.
Tom Hanks, please.
OK, your chosen subject is Tom Hanks.
The winner of this game will join their captain in the final.
As always, each player starts with two lives.
When you're out of lives, you are out of the game.
You will always have eight answers to choose from, but if you
fail to select an answer,
choose an incorrect answer or run out of time, you will lose a life.
The question is...
Go.
You're going to say Cast Away.
- Cast Away. - Pressure Pad, is she correct?
- Yes, you are, well done. - APPLAUSE
And Cast Away was released in the year 2000.
All right, the Pressure Pad will update.
Amy, go.
- Forrest Gump. - Pressure Pad, is Amy correct?
That is correct, well done.
APPLAUSE
And Tom Hanks won his second Oscar for the film Forrest Gump. Debbie.
Go.
Going to go to Big.
Pressure Pad, is she correct?
Yes, you are.
All right, Amy, you're up next. Go.
- When Harry Met Sally? - Yep. - OK.
Pressure Pad, is she correct?
No, you're not. No, you're not.
Billy Crystal starred in When Harry Met Sally, not Tom Hanks.
Other films starring Tom Hanks were...
So, Amy, you've lost a life, you've got one left.
Debbie, you still have your two lives and the final in your sights.
OK, here we go. Amy, you will go first. Please choose your category.
SHE EXHALES
- Uh, Fish? - You're going to choose Fish? - Yep.
All right. Here are the possible eight answers...
Amy...go.
SHE LAUGHS
- Guppy. - A guppy, with one second to spare. Pressure Pad, is she correct?
Absolutely, well done. Also known as the million fish.
Debbie...go.
Going to go to smelt.
Pressure Pad, is she correct?
Yes, you are, well done.
APPLAUSE
The smelt actually is a small saltwater fish.
Amy, go.
- John Deere. - John Deere. - Yeah. - You don't sound too sure.
- Is that a guess? - Yeah!
If it's wrong, you realise you lose two lives
- and you are out of the game? - Yeah.
All right, Pressure Pad,
we want to hear that John Deere is a genuine fish.
No, it is not, John Deere is actually a company that makes
farm equipment and tractors.
- Oh. - The other genuine fish were...
Amy, you have lost two lives
and, unfortunately, you are out of the game.
Congratulations, Debbie, you took the pressure
and you are in the final!
APPLAUSE
Well played, Blue Team, you still have all your players.
Adrian, you're giving it the "Yeah!"
LAUGHTER
Pinks, you guys seeing that,
does that make you more confident or more nervous?
- More determined! - More determined.
They're speechless, none of them are talking!
All right, we'll see what happens.
The next head-to-head is called Deadline.
In the centre of the Pressure Pad you will see a deadline.
All you have to do is stop the deadline
reaching your area in the pad.
The only way to do that is by answering questions correctly.
To win this head-to-head you'll need quick thinking and a cool mind.
Captains, this is the time to pick who you want to be under pressure.
- I don't mind, I will do that if... - It's got to be you.
- Mr Cool here. - Yeah, yeah.
- We need to get one back here. - OK.
OK, Linda, who are you going to send down this time?
- This time we're going to have Jim. - Jim. - That's me, yeah.
LAUGHTER
That's what it says on your name tag.
- Stu, who are you sending down? - Can't have a cooler head than Alan.
Cool Head Alan and Name Tag Jim, please come and join me
on the Pressure Pad.
Welcome to the Pressure Pad, Jim, welcome. Alan, welcome.
Now, Jim, you are a true quizmaster, aren't you? You love quizzes.
I do love quizzes, yeah,
I've been on the same pub quiz team for about...25 years!
You actually had a quiz night on your stag night, didn't you?
- That's true. - LAUGHTER
- Possibly the most sedate stag night in history. - Really?
Well, the quiz bit was quite sedate.
- Yeah, yeah, the after party was the better one. Jim, welcome. - Thank you.
- Alan. - Hi there.
Now your name, Alan, most people would think that's quite a normal
name, but I know - living in Wales - that it means something else.
Tell everybody what it means.
Yeah, well, Alan is the Welsh word for "Out."
And when I was about two, three years old,
something like that, the family went on a day trip to Wales...
Because they have signs in Wales in both English and Welsh.
And at the age of about three, I saw a sign that said, "Alan, Out",
and I screamed, "They don't want me in Wales!"
- And I cried that much that I had to be taken all the way home. - Really?
- Yeah. - Well, don't feel bad, cos you're welcome any time.
- Come round my house, you'll be welcome. - Bear it in mind.
Time to decide who is going to play first,
colour that it lands on gets the choice.
And it is...blue.
- TEAM-MATES: - Go first, Jim. - Jim, it's your call.
I'll go first then.
OK, Jim and Alan, please take your positions on the Pressure Pad.
The winner of this game will join their captain in the final.
You both start out with two lives,
the deadline will move across the Pressure Pad, getting closer
and closer until you get a question right.
Give a correct answer
and the deadline will reverse towards your opponent.
If the deadline reaches your area, you lose a life.
The longer the game goes on, the faster the deadline moves.
I will only accept the first answer you give me,
so think before you speak.

Jim, you make one more mistake, unfortunately you are out of the game.
Now the game becomes even harder.
You both need to take a step in so the deadline will reach you sooner.

which means you are in the final!
- Well! Blues, that was a tough round. - Yep. - How you feeling now?
- Unfortunate, but... - Unfortunate, but still carrying on. - Yep.
- Good for you. Pinks. Alan. - Hey! We're on the board.

looking down at somebody playing?
When you see the line coming towards you, the faster you go,
the worse it gets.
- That's why it's called Pressure Pad! - Yup.
All right, the next head-to-head is called Borderline.
On the Pressure Pad you'll see a map of the British Isles.
Initially it will be divided into three sections by two lines.
I'll ask a question, and you have ten seconds to
stand in the section of the map you think contains the correct answer.
Each time a correct answer is given,
a new cut will be added to the map, making it more difficult.
To win this head-to-head you won't just need solid general knowledge,
you'll also need to know the British Isles inside and out.
Captains, please decide who you are going to send to the Pressure Pad.
- ..geography's not great, is it? - Mine's not that good!
INDISTINCT CHATTER
All right, Linda, who you going to send down?
- This time we'll have Adrian. - And, Stu?
We'll send Sally down, John.
Adrian and Sally, please come and join me on the Pressure Pad.
- Adrian, hello. - John, hi. - Sally. - Nice to meet you, John.
- Adrian. - Yes. - You're a singer.
- Badly, but, yes. - No, come on!
You see, the thing about singing in a choir is that
you can sort of hide.
The trouble is there's only two of us
at the moment in the tenor section,
so there is quite a lot of pressure
cos it gets noticed when we don't get it right.
- Kind of like two dogs howling? - You know what it's like.
No, I don't know what it's like, cos I can sing!
LAUGHTER
Listen, I've seen you in the panto!
HE LAUGHS
- I know. - Anyway, enjoy yourself. - Thank you.
- Sally, do you like soaking in a bathtub? - Yeah.
- And... - SHE LAUGHS
You know what I'm going to say, don't you? I've got you!
What did you think the name of the overflow in a bathtub was for years?
Well, I was in the bath with my boyfriend, and I said to him,
"Don't put too much water in or it'll go down the Armitage Shanks."
LAUGHTER
I bet he was out of that bathtub like a shot!
All right, here we go.
To decide who is going to play first, again, I am going to toss
the coin, and whichever colour it lands on, you will get a choice.
- And it is pink. - Hurray! - OK!
- Shall we go first, guys? - I'd get in there.
I'll go first.
So, Adrian and Sally, please take your positions on the Pressure Pad.
The winner of this game will join their captain in the final.
You both start with two lives.
When you're out of lives, unfortunately,
you are out of the game.
Sally, you're first up.
You can change your mind as many times as you like within
the ten seconds, but when the time is up I'll take the area
you're standing in as your answer.
If you're standing in the wrong section,
you lose the life, so the pressure is on.
Pressure Pad, cut the map.
Sally, your question is...
Go.
I don't know where he was born, but I'm going to say...if he's
something to do with Stratford he might be in the middle.
Right in the middle. Pressure Pad, is she correct?
You are not.
It was Stratford but you're in the wrong section.
You should be just a little further south.
Unfortunately you've lost a life, one more,
and you'll be out of the game.
- Adrian, you still have two lives. - Yes.
One step closer to playing in the final. You will go first this time.
Here we go. Pressure Pad, reset the map.
And cut the map.
Adrian, your question is...
- Go. - Ooh, that probably sounds like Blackpool to me.
And that's got to be about...here.
OK. Pressure Pad, is he correct?
Absolutely right.
APPLAUSE
Pressure Pad, cut the map.
Sally...
Go.
I think they're on the Isle of Man.
- Well, I'm hoping I'm in the right bit. - All right.
Pressure Pad, is she correct?
You absolutely are, that is correct and you're right on top of it.
Pressure Pad, cut the map.
Adrian...
- Go. - Ah, the Granite City's Aberdeen for sure,
and that's got to be about here.
He's confident. Pressure Pad, is his confidence correct?
It absolutely is.
Aberdeen is the right answer. Pressure Pad, cut the map.
Sally...
I have no idea. Eh, I don't know, don't know...don't know at all.
- So this is a complete guess? - Yeah!
If you get it wrong, Sally, you've lost another life
- and you are out of the game. - I know...
So fingers crossed that this is a
good guess. Pressure Pad, is she correct?
- No, you're not. - SHE GROANS
The Lost Gardens of Heligan are near Mevagissey in Cornwall.
Unfortunately, Sally, that means you have lost two lives
and you are out of the game.
But, Adrian, congratulations, you're heading towards the final!
Thank you.
APPLAUSE
- Still the four of you, Blue Team. - Yep.
See what happens in the next round.
- Stu. - It's not over yet. - No, it's not.
It's good to be confident though.
Last chance to get one more player into the final.
This last head-to-head is called One Direction.
On the Pressure Pad you will see a series of answers,
all you need to do is put the answers in the correct order.
Simple as that.
To win this head-to-head you'll need to be able to juggle
several options at once and be decisive under pressure.
As this is the last head-to-head before the final,
we know who will be playing.
Gerry and David, please come and join me on the Pressure Pad.
Hi, Gerry, welcome. David, welcome.
Oh, you both have got sweaty palms, are you nervous?
Gerry, something tells me you look like you can do a few moves.
I can, yeah, I do dancing once a week.
- Can you give us a little taste? - Well, you need a partner for it.
LAUGHTER
Am I...? I'm the girl then, I guess.
Ohhh, well, OK. Always a first, isn't there?
- So you do - one, two, three, four, five, six. - OK, ready?
Here we go - five, six, seven, eight.
BOTH: One, two, three, four, five, six...
APPLAUSE AND WHISTLING
You're good at it, John.
It's time to decide who is going to play first.
And it is blue.
- What'd you think? - Want to just get on with it? - OK, go first.
OK, so, David and Gerry, please take your positions on the Pressure Pad.
The winner of this game will join their captain in the final.
As always, you start with two lives.
Gerry, you're up first,
you will have ten seconds to think about your answer.
When the time is up,
I will only accept your first answer.
OK, here are the four answers, Gerry.
Here's the question...
- Go. - Well, John Noakes was one of the early ones.
Sarah Greene, think she might have been after John Noakes.
Anthea Turner...and Matt Baker.
All right, you're saying...
Pressure Pad, is he correct?
That's correct.
All right, David, here are your answers.
Here's your question...
- Go. - FA Cups can be a tough one.
I think Everton's won it once, Tottenham...
Man United, Chelsea, Everton, Tottenham.
OK, you're saying...
OK, let's see if you're correct, you think Man United has won the least.
Oh...
Pressure Pad, is he correct?
- Incorrect. - The other way.
The correct order was...
Everton, five times, Chelsea,
seven times, Tottenham, eight,
and Man United, 11.
So unfortunately, you didn't get it correct,
which means you have lost a life, you have one left.
Gerry, you still have two and the final in your sights.
All right, this time David will go first. Here are your answers...
Here's the question...
- Go. - Fearne Cotton's definitely youngest, I think
Judy Finnigan will be the oldest.
Fearne Cotton, Clare Balding, Carol Vorderman, Judy Finnigan.
OK, you're saying...
Let's see if you're correct. Pressure Pad.
That is correct.
Gerry, over to you. Here are your answers...
Here's the question...
Go.
The earliest one is Richard III, I think, followed by Elizabeth I,
followed by Victoria...
followed by William.
Maybe, I think I might have got that wrong.
Well, we're going to find out. You're saying...
Let's see if you are correct. Pressure Pad, right or wrong?
It is incorrect.
The correct order was William I,
Richard III, Elizabeth I, Victoria.
Tough luck.
Both of you are down to one life, so that means we go to a decider.
The next person to make a mistake is out of the game
and out of the final.
Gerry, you will go first this time, and here are the four answers.
Here is the question...
- Go. - Eh, well, I think golf ball's going to be the smallest. Oh...
Followed by tennis, probably.
Football, followed by basketball.
OK, you're saying...
Let's see if that's correct. Pressure Pad, is it right or wrong?
It is right.
OK, David, it's over to you, here are your answers...
And the question is...
- Go. - For me, definitely the Pacific would be the largest.
I'm stuck between the Arctic and the Indian.
I would say the Indian was the smallest, then Arctic. Yep.
OK, you're saying...
- All right, talked that through, guessing? - Confident guessing.
OK, sometimes it works. Let's see if you're right.
Pressure Pad, right or wrong?
Incorrect.
The correct order was Arctic, Indian,
Atlantic then Pacific.
David, you've lost another life,
unfortunately, you're out of the game.
But congratulations, Gerry, you've held with the pressure,
and you are in the final!
So that's it for the head-to-heads, well done both of the teams.
Linda, you have three players to help you in the final,
Stu, you have one player to help you.
Linda and Stu, please come and join me on the Pressure Pad.
- Welcome, guys. Hi, Linda. - Hello. - Stu. - How are you?
- Very good. Linda, got a big smile on your face. - Yes.
Tell me something about you that I wouldn't really know.
Guilty pleasure?
Watching The Biggest Loser whilst surrounded by a cup of tea
and biscuits or chocolates.
So you're going, "I don't feel guilty at all."
LAUGHTER
- Things aren't so bad. - Well, good luck. - Thank you very much.
- Stu. - Hi.
- Now, I have to ask you - do you dye the hair yourself? - No.
And did you plan to match your shirt today?
It was in the back of my mind.
LAUGHTER
So it's not like every shirt that you put on with a stripe
- you change your hair to match? - Oh, no, hair stays put.
We'll see how everything goes for you today,
staying put on the Pressure Pad.
All right, good luck to both of you as we play the final!
Linda and Stu, here is how the final works.
Each team will answer four multiple choice questions.
The first team to answer all four questions correctly will win £2,000
and get a chance to play for our rolling bonus,
which currently stands at £3,000.
Captains, you're in position.
Linda, as your team won the most head-to-heads,
you will get the advantage of going first.
There's no time limit, all you need to do is get
all four questions correct, and you win the money.
Make a mistake, and you let your opponent into the game.
Linda, here is your first question.
As soon as you stand on the answer, it will be locked in.
You can of course confer with your team. Here we go.
Was it...?
- Jeremy Paxman. - Yeah, happy with that?
You know the answers to these things, Linda.
All right, you are on Jeremy Paxman.
Is it the correct answer?
It is correct.
APPLAUSE
OK, your next question...
Was it...?
Spacecraft, weren't they called Mercuries?
Or were they called Geminis as well?
I'm wondering, maybe the Gemini Project, I'm sure the early
spacecraft were called Mercury.
- It's a guess. - It's a guess, yeah.
- GERRY: - What'll we go for then? - ADRIAN: - Gemini.
All right, you're saying Gemini. Pressure Pad, right or wrong?
It is the wrong answer.
- OK, so, Stu, you're in the game. - Yay! - Yay!
Let's see if you're cheering in a minute.
Here is your first question...
LAUGHTER
Was it...?
- I do have Slash's signature tattooed on my arm. - That's quite an advantage.
LAUGHTER
- I am also pretty sure that is his name. - We'll go with Slash.
- Where's the tattoo? - Just on there. - Let's see if you are correct.
Pressure Pad, right or wrong?
That is correct.
Next question...
I don't know this one.
When John said the question I thought it was either Calgary
or Winnipeg, and Calgary's the only one in the choices, so...
- Go for instinct? - Go with that.
Calgary, let's hope you're right.
Pressure Pad, is it Calgary?
Correct answer.
Next question.
I'm drawn to 1856...
I don't like the earliest and I don't like the latest.
My choice would be 1812,
but if you've got a fancy for the other one, then it's up to you.
There's no reason behind it. I'd rather back you.
It's a guess, really.
- We'll try this one. - OK, it's a clear guess.
If it is wrong, Linda is back in the game.
If it's right, you're one step away from £2,000.
Pressure Pad, is this guess the right or wrong answer?
It is correct.
APPLAUSE
Very good guess.
All right, here we go. Next question. This is the big one.
For £2,000...
- Have you ever seen either of those? - No.
Oh!
It might be Meryl Streep now I think about it.
I've just remembered a bit of the trailer. I think it could be her.
Go for it.
OK.
Pressure Pad, for £2,000, is the answer Meryl Streep?
It is not.
So play passes back to Linda.
We're back to your question.
So you thought that Mercury was the first...
Well, I'm sure that some of the early American spacecraft
were called Mercury.
So Mercury, you're going for Mercury?
- Scientific answer? - That's another scientific guess, yes.
OK.
So your answer is Mercury, to keep you in the game.
Otherwise play passes back to the £2,000 question for Stu.
Pressure Pad, please reveal if Mercury is correct.
It is correct.
Well done. APPLAUSE
Next question, Linda.
OK, well, garnet is January. Emerald is May.
So that leaves it between pearl and ruby.
I've got the feeling it might be ruby. My birthday's in July.
Ruby.
OK.
All right, so you're going with ruby.
Pressure Pad, is it the correct or incorrect answer?
It's correct.
APPLAUSE
All right. Here is your final question...
It's got long legs.
It's got long legs, so therefore it's not a kingfisher. It's not a sparrow.
I don't think it's a sparrow.
I've just got the feeling it's an osprey.
You think it's an osprey.
It would help if we knew what an avocet is.
It would help if we knew what an avocet looked like.
It's just that I think that ospreys...
They became protected round about the time the RSPB became active.
- I thought that that's maybe the one that they use. - Go for it.
Are we happy with that?
Yep.
OK.
You are on osprey.
If this is correct,
you have just won £2,000.
If it's incorrect, play passes back to the Pink Team for Stu.
Pressure Pad, for £2,000,
is osprey the correct answer?
It is incorrect.
Play passes over.
Stu, if you get this, £2,000 is yours. OK, your question was...
I'd never heard of Jacki Weaver.
I think for two Oscar nominations I might just have heard of her.
- I'm tempted to go with Janet McTeer, but... - Who are you saying?
Janet McTeer. Totally random name.
OK.
Janet McTeer.
£2,000 is on the line and it's a guess.
Let's see if it is the correct guess or the incorrect guess.
Pressure Pad, is Janet McTeer correct?
It's incorrect.
Play passes back. All right. Question was...
Right, back to square one. I'm now doubting myself about everything.
If we knew what a... I think it's a long-legged thing with a kind of...
That's what I think it is as well.
So I'm going for an avocet because I don't know what it is.
- Yeah, go avocet. - I think it's a long thin-legged bird.
- Let's go for avocet. - Right, OK. That's what we're going for.
We'll soon find out what it looks like.
Let's see if that is correct or incorrect. £2,000 is on the line.
Pressure Pad, is it avocet?
It is, it's the correct answer. You have just won £2,000!
Congratulations, Linda and the Blue Team.
But it's not quite over yet.
There is one final twist still to come.
But first, let's say goodbye and thank you to Stu and Alan.
You guys played a great game.
The answer to your question was Jacki Weaver,
the one you hadn't heard of. So unfortunately that is goodbye.
Big round of applause for the Pink Team.
APPLAUSE
Well done, Blue Team. You all have won £2,000,
which is absolutely fantastic.
But you could also add more money. Here is how -
the bonus fund rolls over £1,000 for every show it isn't won.
The good news for you is that nobody has won the last two shows,
meaning it currently sits at £3,000.
Linda, so far you have successfully guided your team to this point,
but here is where the pressure really builds for you.
Six possible answers are hidden under
the centre of the Pressure Pad. I'm going to show you those answers.
Based on what you see, you and you alone as team captain must
decide if you want to answer the question.
If you go for it and answer correctly,
you will leave with both the £2,000 and the rolling bonus of £3,000.
But, a word of caution, if you get it wrong, you lose everything.
Here are your six possible answers.
They are...
Whilst it would be nice to win more money,
we have two team members associated with charities.
It would be nice to give them something rather than nothing.
But it's your decision. Team captain.
OK.
I think, given I have absolutely no idea
as to what could be the subject matter,
I think it would be better to take away something
that we can do something with as opposed to...
- Might be a coward's way out, but... - Never a coward's way.
- I think that would be the best option for us today. - OK.
- So you are not going to go forward with the question? - No.
All right, so you're going to take the £2,000.
Congratulations to the Blue Team. They have won £2,000.
APPLAUSE
All right, so let's see what the question would have been...
- Well. - Who would you have said?
Well, Mother Teresa did, I think.
Desmond Tutu did.
We're going to put you out of your misery.
The correct answer was...
Congratulations, Linda. You and your team leave with £2,000.
Well, that's all we have time for today.
Join us next time to see if our teams can take home £2,000
plus the rolling bonus, which is now £4,000.
Thanks for watching.
Don't forget, if you can't take the pressure, stay off the Pressure Pad.
Goodbye.
