This is Pressure Pad. 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.
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
chance of winning the prize fund, which currently stands at £3,000.
So you know how things work, let's meet today's teams.
Hi, John, my name's Adrian, we're from Bradford,
and we've been friends for many years.
This is Andy, Alan, Lee and Jed.
Hi, guys. You do quiz nights together?
Yeah, we've done a few together.
How do you find quizzes when you do them, working as a team?
I think we're a good team, we've got areas of strength,
we're very supportive of each other - unless somebody gets one wrong,
and obviously that goes out of the window.
Enjoy yourself on the Pressure Pad, nice to see you guys. Hello!
Hello, my name's Ben, I'm from Reading, and these are all
my friends over various years, how I've kept hold of them I don't know.
To the right I've got Ally, Kirstie, Paul and Mark.
LAUGHTER
We've got two really talkative bunches today, let me tell you(!)
- Have you done quiz nights before? - Yeah, we have, down the pub.
- We never win! - No, when we cheat we do.
Well, there's no cheating here, the Pressure Pad will not
allow that, but you do have a good chance of winning,
so, fingers crossed.
Our first head-to-head is called Time Out.
At the start of this game you will choose a category.
The Pressure Pad will divide equally into two halves.
Each half represents a timer.
To stay in the game, you need to stop your timer running out.
I will give you clues to help you answer a question.
If you answer the question correctly,
your time will stop and pressure passes to your opponent.
Captains, now it's time to decide who you are going to
send down to the Pressure Pad.
Someone who can make quick decisions.
- OK. - You happy? - Yep.
You're cool under pressure.
All right, Adrian, who you going to send down?
- We're going to start with Alan. - And, Ben?
We are going to start with Paul.
OK, Alan and Paul, please come and join me on the Pressure Pad.
- Hi, Alan. - Hi, John, you all right? - Good, how are you? - Good, thank you.
- Paul. - Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you too, pleasure.
OK, it's time to decide who is going to play first.
To do that, I will toss a coin.
Pink.
- Paul, you will decide if you want to go first or second. - We'll go second.
- All right, little bit of strategy. - Yeah. - That's what I'd have gone for.
- Ohhh! - You monkey.
Well, Paul's passing the pressure over to you, Alan.
So, Alan and Paul, please take your positions on the Pressure Pad.
Alan, you're up first, here are your categories.
I'm going to have to go for American TV.
The winner of this game will join their captain in the final.
You both start with two lives.
When you are out of lives, you are out of the game.
Each time I give you a list of clues, you can give me an answer.
I will only accept one answer for each list.
If you haven't worked it out by the time I've given you the
sixth clue, I will move on.
You can pass at any point,
your timer will start running down when I read the first clue.
Alan, I am going to read you a list
of characters from American TV shows.

I am going to read you lists of top 40 albums.
For each list, tell us

and out of the final.
Alan, you will go first, please choose a category.

CHEERING
Well played, everybody. Blues, looks easy, but it's difficult.
- He did well. - Yeah, I think he did well.
Absolutely did well, but unfortunately not well enough.
Are you looking forward to your time down on the Pressure Pad?
- Not necessarily. - JOHN LAUGHS
- Ben - full team! - Delighted with that, one round down, looking good.
- Everybody did the best they possibly could. - Indeed.
Some just better than others.
The next head-to-head is called Selector.
At the start of this game you will choose a category.
On the Pressure Pad, you will see six options.
Your job is to select the ones you know.
Captains, again,
it's time to decide who you are going to send down
to the Pressure Pad.
I think Ally's quite good at scanning, like, the football pitch.
Think this is potentially the easiest game on paper, so...
Adrian, who you going to send down?
I think Lee's the man for this job, John.
And, Ben, who is your man - or woman - for the job?
We will be sending down a man in the form of Ally.
OK, so the two men for the job are Lee and Ally,
come and join me on the Pressure Pad.
- Hi, Lee. - Hi, John. - How are you? - Very well. - Hi, Ally, nice to meet you.
- Lee - poultry. - Poultry, yes, I'm a chicken fancier. - A chicken fancier?!
Yes, and I've got a couple of ducks as well.
Now, explain to us, for those of us
who don't know what a poultry fancier is.
It's a gentleman or a lady who breeds
and keeps chickens for showing purposes.
- So are these the kind of chickens that have, the big fluffy ones? - Yes.
Aw, those are kind of awesome.
If I walked past you in the street I would not go,
"Oh, yeah, he's a chicken fancier."
- Enjoy Pressure Pad. - Thank you very much.
- Ally. - Hello. - How are you? - Good, you? - Good. You enjoy travelling?
Yeah, I've been a couple of times,
to a lot of Asia, Australia, Borneo, New Zealand, Samoa.
If I could put you on a plane right now,
where would be the one place you would go?
Thailand, love the place.
- All right, well maybe if you win some money... - You never know.
Let's decide who's going to play first.
Blue.
Lee, you're going to decide if you want to go first or second.
- I'll go first, please. - Team, you all right with that?
- Happy with Lee's decision, yes. - OK, it's time for Ally
and Lee to take their positions on the Pressure Pad.
The winner of this game will join their captain in the final.
As ever, you two start with two lives. OK, Lee, you're up first.
Here are the categories...
- I think I'll take Pop Music. - You'll have ten seconds.
When the time runs out you must be standing on the segment
you want to select.
Here are the six options.
The question is...
Go.
Think I'm going to choose...
- Three seconds. - Go for this, please.
Sonny & Cher.
Is that the correct answer?
It's absolutely correct.
And the Pressure Pad has updated.
Ally, go.
Think I'll go for this one, John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John.
John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John.
Pressure Pad, is it correct?
That is correct.
APPLAUSE
Lee, go.
I'm a little embarrassed to know this one,
but I think I'm going to go with it.
Going to go with this, please - Chaka Demus & Pliers.
Pressure Pad, is it correct?
Yes, it is.
The Pressure Pad has reset. Ally, we're back over to you, go.
Think I know this one as well, sad to say I bought it.
LAUGHTER
- PJ & Duncan. - All right, PJ & Duncan, is it correct?
Absolutely correct. Pj & Duncan, otherwise known as Ant & Dec.
Lee, go ahead.
I'm going to choose this next one
because I actually had a cockerel who went by the same name.
LAUGHTER
- And that is...? - Simon & Garfunkel. - Pressure Pad, is he correct?
You're correct.
- Ally, go. - Oh, no. - Oh, yes. - Eh...
- I don't know any. - Four seconds.
- I'll go with this one, but it isn't going to be right. Mel... - And?
..C, and Bryan Adams? I've added that, see how it goes.
You've kind of made your own one up.
Pressure Pad, he's saying Mel "C" and Bryan Adams.
Is it correct?
No, incorrect.
It was actually Mel & Kim. Others that you could have chosen were...
So unfortunately, Ally, you have lost a life.
Lee, you've still got your lives intact.
Which means you're a step further to being in the final.
However, Ally, you will go first this time. Please choose a category.
Got to be Football.
Here are the six options.
Question is...
Go.
Go with an obvious one - I think. I'll say Arsenal.
Pressure Pad, is he correct?
That's correct.
Lee, go.
I'm going to go along the same lines of thinking
and go for one I think's quite easy.
This one, please, Spurs, Tottenham Hotspur.
All right, is he correct?
Correct.
- Ally, go. - OK, I'll go over here for the Hammers.
- I'm pretty sure it's West Ham. - Is he correct, Pressure Pad?
That's absolutely right.
Lee, go.
This one, I'm going to go...
- ..on the South Coast, I think, and this one, please. - Pompey.
- It's Portsmouth. - Pressure Pad, is going down south correct?
Correct, Pompey was Portsmouth. Ally, go.
OK. Eh, pretty sure of this one as well. The Swans I think are Swansea.
Is it correct?
It is. Swansea City.
- All right, Lee, go. - This one...
I think I'll stay with this one, please. The Villans, Aston Villa.
Is he correct?
Correct.
APPLAUSE
- Go. - I've got to pick this one as I used to live here.
- Royals are Reading. - Pressure Pad, is he correct, to stay in the game?
Absolutely correct.
Lee, the pressure is on, you're up next - go.
I'm going to go with this one as they're from Yorkshire, same as me.
- Which is? - The Blades, and it's Sheffield United.
Pressure Pad, is he correct?
Correct.
Ally, go.
OK, I'll go for this one. The Posh, which I think is Peterborough.
Is he right?
You're right.
Lee, go.
Sticking with the chickeny farming theme, I'm going
to go with this one, please. The Tractor Boys.
- And you think they are? - Ipswich. - Is it correct?
It is.
You're both doing very well on this. Ally, go.
Uh...
- Clarets... - Five seconds.
- Choose one quickly. - Yeah, I'll go with this one.
I don't know the answer. Sorry, guys.
Em, I can't even think of a football team!
LAUGHTER
OK, you're out of time, we can't accept an answer
so you're losing a life.
The right answer was Burnley.
Other ones you could have chosen were...
Ally, you've lost two lives, which means you are out of the game.
But, Lee, you have stood the pressure of the Pressure Pad
and you are in the final.
CHEERING
- Teams, Lee, very well done. - Thank you. - Adrian, how'd you think he did?
He did excellently, very proud, we had faith in him all along.
- Ben. - We thought we'd even it up, give him a chance.
- Really, oh, you're being kind now? - Yeah, yeah.
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 on the pad.
The only way to do that is by answering questions correctly.
Captains, please decide who you want to bring down to the Pressure Pad.
THEY MURMUR
Adrian, who are you sending down?
We're going to send Jed for this one, John.
- Ben? - We're going to send Mark.
All right, please come down to the Pressure Pad.
- Hi, Jed, how are you? - I'm good, thanks. - Mark. - Nice to meet you.
It's time to decide who's going to play first.
Again I'm going to toss the coin.
Blue.
- So, Jed, you decide if you want to go first or second. - I'll go first.
Definitive answer.
It worked last time for Lee, so we trust Jed again.
All right, Jed and Mark, 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.
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.
Jed, you are up first. Here we go.

LAUGHTER

Other connections were...
Right, Andy, you will go first this time. Please choose a category.
I don't think any of them are particularly appealing,

against a scientist.
But I'll go for it. I'll go for Astronomy.

OK. Virgo connecting to The Hunter.
If this is correct, you're still in the game.
If it's incorrect, you are out of the game.
Pressure Pad, is it correct?
It's incorrect.
Oh, well.
The other correct answers were...
So Virgo was The Maiden.
That was the other one I was...umming and aahing. 50-50.
Kirstie, unfortunately you've lost two lives,
which means you are out of the game.
But, Andy, you have stood the pressure of the Pressure Pad.
You're going into the final.
APPLAUSE
OK, so that's it for the head-to-heads.
Well done to both of the teams. Adrian, how are you feeling?
I feel very proud of my team, all five of us,
but quite appropriately I'm feeling the pressure a bit now.
Good. That's the whole point of the show. Ben?
It's not gone well.
- Not gone to plan. - No, no. - You're feeling the pressure?
- You've got three to help. Thankfully I've got Paul... - I'll do what I can.
- We'll do OK. - That's all you can do. Your best.
Or you'll fail.
Adrian and Ben, please come and join me on the Pressure Pad.
- Hi, Adrian. - Hi, John.
Nice to see you.
Hi, Ben. Good luck to both of you as we play the final.
APPLAUSE
Adrian, Ben, 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 also get the chance to play for the 1,000 bonus.
Adrian, as your team won the most head-to-heads,
you 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. - OK.
Adrian, here is your first question.
Zaire. Yeah.
Yeah, we're pretty happy with it being Zaire.
So we're going to lock that in.
OK. Pressure Pad, is it Zaire?
It is.
Next question.
Was it...
I was hoping for sheep or pigs to come up then, but...
I think I remember this.
I think it's cows.
We all think it's cows. OK. So we'll take cows, please, John.
You're saying cows.
Pressure Pad, moo-moo?
LAUGHTER
Yes, it is.
Question.
I'm thinking Commodore.
My first thought was maybe Air Commodore.
I thought Air Commodore. I'm not confident, though.
- We'll go with that. You happy with that? - Yeah.
- Yeah, we're going to have a try at Air Commodore, John. - OK.
If it's right, it takes you to your £2,000 question.
If it is wrong, it lets your opponent Ben right into the game.
Pressure Pad,
is it Air Commodore?
Yes, it is.
£2,000 question.
The biggie.
Is it...
- Not Triceratops. That's like three horns and... - Yeah.
The only thing around Velociraptor, that was in Jurassic Park
and that was the one that they were trying to hunt down.
- Was it deceptive? - I think so. That was the clever one.
- Raptor, lizard, shall we go for that then? - Go with what you think it is.
We'll go with that. OK, we'll go for Velociraptor, John.
If it's right, you have £2,000.
If it's wrong, Ben is in the game.
- Going for Velociraptor, because of Jurassic Park. - Yep.
Pressure Pad, for £2,000, is Velociraptor the correct answer?
No, it's not.
So, the play passes straight over to Ben. Ben, here are your questions.
Your first one is...
Was it...
I think it's Gentleman.
- But... - Well, I've got nothing better, so I'm fine going with that.
We'll go with Gentleman.
Pressure Pad, is it right?
Yes, it is.
APPLAUSE
Here is the second question.
Is it...
- Nicky Byrne. - Definitely?
This, I think, was a fairly recent wedding.
I remember it being in all the glossy magazines.
You were right last time, so you must be right again.
OK, we're going to go with Nicky Byrne,
because Paul reads glossy magazines.
Is Nicky Byrne the son-in-law of Bertie Ahern?
Correct or incorrect, Pressure Pad?
Yes, it is. The right answer.
Next question.
Is it...
- Discworld. - Definitely not Oz. Definitely not Narnia.
- Discworld is what I thought... - Terry Pratchett Discworld. - Brilliant.
- 100%. - You'll notice he's answered everything.
- I don't know why I'm here. - Teamwork. - I like that, yeah.
This will lead you to your £2,000 question.
Pressure Pad, is Discworld the correct answer?
It is.
Adrian, getting a little worried?
More than a little, yes.
£2,000 question. Here we go.
Is it...
- What do you think? - Liverpool, definitely, yes.
AC Milan, definitely, yes.
Porto won it with Mourinho, and I think Marseille have won it.
- I agree. - Go Olympiakos? - Yeah. - Let's do it.
For £2,000, Olympiakos.
- Don't be too confident. - Do you want to stand up here and do my...?
- You're doing fine. - Yes, you're right, for £2,000. But if it's wrong...
..then Adrian and the boys are back in the game.
Both of you right on the edge of winning.
Pressure Pad,
is it the correct or incorrect answer?
It's correct.
APPLAUSE
You have won £2,000.
But it's not quite over yet.
There is one final twist still to come,
but first let's say thank you and goodbye to Adrian and the team.
The answer to your question was
Apatosaurus. Thank you, guys, well done.
Big round of applause for the Blue Team.
APPLAUSE
Well, Ben, you and your team have won £2,000, which is fantastic.
But you could add a further £1,000 to that, and here is how.
The bonus fund rolls over £1,000 for every show it isn't won,
but as it was won on the last show, it has been reset to £1,000.
Ben, so far you have successfully guided your team to this point,
but here is where the pressure really builds.
Six possible answers are hidden under the centre
of the Pressure Pad. I am 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 you answer correctly,
you will leave with both the £2,000 and the £1,000 bonus.
But a word of caution - get it wrong and you will leave with nothing.
Here are the six possible answers.
Any ideas?
Well, slightly older than yourself actors.
LAUGHTER
A lot older, I might add.
Looking at them, unless the question is about The Godfather
with Marlon Brando or Star Wars with Alec Guinness,
I think it's way beyond me.
Not confident enough to risk £2,000
which the others will kill me if we lose.
So, um, I think I'll leave it there.
Well, you've decided to play it safe. You'll be leaving with £2,000.
APPLAUSE
And just for fun...
Let's see what the question is.
- Who would you have guessed? - I know Marlon Brando did.
I'm fairly certain Clark Gable did. I think Paul Newman did.
I might go Alec Guinness as a complete guess,
just by random reasoning.
Let's see if you would've been right, or wrong.
Pressure Pad, is it Alec Guinness?
It was Richard Burton.
So you played it safe and you made the right choice.
You're going home with £2,000.
APPLAUSE
Congratulations. Ben, you and your team leave with that
whopping £2,000. That is all we have time for.
Join us next time to see if anyone will play for the bonus.
Thanks for watching, and don't forget,
if you can't take the pressure, stay off the Pressure Pad. Goodbye.
APPLAUSE
