Caption
  • The klaxon called time and Martin would return on £2,000 with all 3 lifelines remaining.
  • Martin had no idea and was never going to play this anyway unless convinced, so he phoned a friend called Tony who didn't give any answer in 30 seconds. Martin used his 50:50 which left Peace and Economics, then asked the audience with 74% saying Economics and 26% saying Peace. Martin did not risk it and left as the biggest winner so far. The correct answer was C: Economics.
  • From the 10 contestants, 3 got it right, but Martin was the fastest to correctly answer C-B-A-D, making it into the Hot Seat.
