Caption
  • Rachel wasn't sure, so she phoned her father John, who advised her to walk away as he too didn't know the answer.
  • The klaxon called time and Rachel would return the next day on £500 with all 3 lifelines still available.
  • From the 9 remaining contestants, 7 got it right, but Rachel was the fastest to correctly answer B: Paul Young, making it into the Hot Seat.
  • This marked the first use of the 'Ask the Audience' lifeline as Graham Elwell did not use it in the first episode.
