Well some of these options seem quite attractive, but in my experience I've gotta say it's been Musical Jingles. Final answer

Otherwise to see Smoke and Mirrors from an ice cream truck sure would be a sight coming down the street... With Musical Jingles you have the right answer! *** £100-£500 Correct Answer cue plays ***
Music from ice cream trucks dates back to the early 20th century, and were originally played through a mechanical music box system.
Here comes Question 2 for £200:

First introduced in 1907, they are small chocolate candies with a distinctive shape wrapped in foil packaging.

The answer is D Skywalker, though at one point he was going to be named Starkiller.
D is my final answer

The force is with you. That is the Correct answer! *** £100-£500 Correct Answer cue plays ***
That's a cool fact for what he might've been called. Somehow Skywalker has more of a ring to the name.
My notes say his first appearance was in 'Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope' released in 1977. Of course, the first movie of the Star Wars franchise.
So far so good. Here comes Question 4 for £500:

Spot on. That's the right answer! *** £100-£500 Correct Answer cue plays ***
There are over 34,000 scientifically known species of fish in the world.
Now as ever at this stage in the game, it's the last point you could leave with nothing. But that's not going to happen.
Getting the next question correct will mean the minimum you leave with is a thousand pounds. Also the 1st Safety Net milestone will unlock your Switch The Question lifeline.
All lifelines still intact if you need them.
Here is Question 5 for a guaranteed £1,000:

Gotta go with Twitch final

That's the right answer and you now have £1,000!
*** 1st Safety Net Correct Answer cue plays, while the set turns gold as the audience applauds ***
*** Lights down £1,000 cue plays, as the set becomes a mid-toned blue ***
Twitch was co-founded by Justin Kan, and commonly used for streaming video game playthroughs and Esports events.
You've unlocked your Switch The Question lifeline: *** STQ lifeline moves into the Money Tree and pings ***
From now on, before each new question it's possible to set your 2nd Safety Net. This then will become your next safe haven amount.
I imagine you'll want to keep going a way beyond £2,000 for this, but of course it's totally your call. Let me know, but with 4 lifelines available including STQ, you're in perfect shape to make a strong climb up the money ladder.
Post ----- Note: As an idea upon giving your final answer from here on, maybe specify whether you'd like to subsequently set your 2nd Safety Net (should it be the correct answer). This way I'll not need to ask it before every question from now on, so then it helps keep the game moving. Just a thought... (Also this will be my last post until tomorrow as it's late again here UK time now.) ----- End

I think I will hold onto my safety net for the time being! Final answer.
Also I will try to remember to specify this with each of my answers so we don't clog up the thread with a million messages lol

Sounds good! That'll save post-production a whole load of editing work next door after the recording. We do have to trim this episode to about 50 mins for the TV broadcast.
Here comes Question 6 for £2,000:
*** Strachan Q6 theme begins playing ***

That would be B, DeLorean, final answer.
And should it be correct, I will not set my second safety net yet.
