The Big Trip (1)

“Welcome back”, said Holly, “to our Final game, where we’re giving away, not one, not two but three trips to remember for a lifetime. All our studio Audience are contestants for this one, Are you ready guys?”

The Audience cheered as Holly continued, “Every seat in our studio is equipped with a numerical keypad. I’m going to asks a question and the three audience members with the three closest answers win our three trips! Now I know what you’re thinking, ‘where’s the risk?’ well… Lets have a look at our three amazing trips shall we”

A video starts playing both on the big screen in the studio but also for the audience at home. For first place, the winner gets a weeks holiday for two to Turkey, staying at a **** resort, all expenses paid with £1000 spending money. For second place, the winner gets a weeks tour of the UK, they will be taken from the studio and placed on a coach, which will take them to Edinburgh, as soon as they get there they will board a coach to Plymouth, then to Newcastle, then Cardiff and so on. They get to travel light as their luggage won’t be going with them, They even get spending money, £70 for the week, to buy all the food they can want from the UK’s dazzling array of service stations. Their final journey will bring them right back here for next weeks show. Finally for the third place, the winner gets a trip to nowhere right here in the studio they will be tied to our trip trolley (the video shows a flat trolley with two poles sticking up) and get a tour around our studio where we will make your trip as memorable as possible. Don’t worry about having to cart your luggage as they will be going straight in THE DESTROYER. Any one of these three trips could be yours if you’re lucky enough tonight.

“So there’s your risk”, explained Holly, “Do you try for first place but risk just falling short, or do you play it safe and intentionally get it totally wrong? No time to discuss it, you have twenty seconds to answer the following question, In feet, not meters, in feet what is the official height of Mount Everest? You have twenty seconds. Go!”

The audience members are trying to decide not only what is a reasonable guess but also if they even want to make a reasonable guess as the clock ticks down, you can see various couples & groups discussing the options.

“Times up!” shouted Holly, “If you’ve not voted, it’s too late, and disappointingly 18% of you are pussies who decided not to take the risk. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME! Joking aside, we have got the answers from the rest of you and now let’s reveal in no particular order who our top three are.”

The big screen shows three names, Alison ____ Claire ____ & Kerry ____

The three women join Holly on stage, all looking a combination of excited and terrified.

“Oh, I bet you girls are regretting your bravery now.” teased Holly, “Now the correct answer was as everyone knows 29,029 feet. You three got the closest, so you three get to enjoy one of our amazing trips. First of all for second place, our second place winner gets to enjoy that lovely week long tour of the UK, a week on coaches with no luggage meaning no change of clothes, no toiletries, just yourself, a window and anyone willing to sit next to you. And our winner of our tour around the UK is...
