FunTranscript
00:00Welcome to Time Is Money, the fastest quiz on TV, where five players are about to be given thousands of pounds before they answer a single question.
00:28But in this game, it's not about getting the money, the trick is keeping hold of it.
00:33Let's meet our five players all hoping to last the longest today.
00:37As this is the quickest quiz, can you sum yourself up in just three words?
00:42I'm Bernie, I'm an inquisitive delivery driver.
00:45I'm Pooey and I'm a treasure hunting nanny.
00:48I'm Kevin and I'm a chess playing guitarist.
00:51I'm Olivia, I'm an outdoorsy vet surgeon.
00:53I'm Taylor, I'm an energetic podcast creator.
00:56Oh, what an exciting line-up.
01:00Olivia, you're a vet.
01:02That must be exciting.
01:03Yes, I am, but I'm actually allergic to animals.
01:06You're allergic to animals?
01:08Yes.
01:09How do you get over that?
01:10I had immunotherapy for a couple of years and I take a lot of medication every day.
01:16But it's worth it because do you love it?
01:17I absolutely love it. It's my dream job.
01:19Fabulous. Dream job.
01:21Talk about dream job.
01:22So Bernie, you're a delivery driver.
01:24I am.
01:25Have you always been a delivery driver?
01:26Well, no, I worked for over 30 years in IT.
01:29But I'd had enough of IT and I think IT had had enough of me as well.
01:33So the chance for early retirement come up and so I work weekends delivering pizzas.
01:39Delivering pizzas?
01:40Yeah, yeah.
01:41Oh, tell me you get a discount.
01:42Oh yeah, we get a free pizza at the end of the night.
01:44Yeah, yeah.
01:45Oh, I know who I'm getting a lift home with today.
01:46Brilliant.
01:47Well, it's great to have you all with us.
01:49Let's play Time Is Money.
01:54In front of each of you is your money timer.
01:57An hourglass that we're filling with cash that you could take home.
02:01For round one, you're going to start with £1,000.
02:04Let's top up those timers.
02:09But in this game, time is money.
02:12So the trick is keeping hold of it.
02:14If you can't get a question right, your money will count down coin by coin.
02:19And if you run out of money, then your time in the game is up.
02:23Now, our first set of questions is about...
02:29So I'm going to describe an action.
02:31You need to tell me the board game in which you are most likely to complete that action.
02:36Pooey, I've got to come to you.
02:37You looked a little bit scared there.
02:40However, I'm sure you told me you were a nanny.
02:42Yes.
02:43Do you not play loads of board games?
02:44Yeah.
02:45Yeah.
02:46I don't want to say any just in case.
02:48They're going to come up.
02:49She doesn't want to give you guys a clue.
02:51But you love a board game.
02:53Oh, interesting.
02:55So there are up to ten questions to answer in each of the categories.
03:00This first question is crucial.
03:02The player who gives me the right answer will stop their money timer from counting down for now.
03:08So get ready on your buzzers.
03:11Here is your first question.
03:15Build a hotel on Mayfair.
03:17Kevin.
03:18Monopoly.
03:19Is correct.
03:21Saw that little bit of a hesitation there.
03:23I thought he second-guessed himself.
03:24Yeah.
03:25OK.
03:26So your money timer will not start counting down.
03:29You're safe for now.
03:30Yeah.
03:31The rest of you, your timers are going to start counting down at a rate of £10 a second.
03:37You must buzz in correctly to stop your timer, but an incorrect answer costs £50.
03:43Kevin.
03:44If you buzz in before the others with a right answer, you'll speed up their timers, potentially sending them out of the game sooner.
03:51OK.
03:52But an incorrect answer will start your own timer.
03:54Are you all ready?
03:55Yeah.
03:56Yes.
03:57Start the timers.
03:58Spin a spinner and place hands and feet on coloured circles.

04:26Bernie.

04:28Correct.
04:32Guys, that was a good start.
04:34That was a good strong, solid start.
04:37Have you all realised the panic that is going to happen when you see that money draining away coin by coin?
04:41Yeah.
04:42OK.
04:43Our next set of questions is about the Americas.
04:48How's your geography, everyone?
04:51I saw a solid nod from Kevin there.
04:54So-so.
04:55So-so.
04:56Yeah.
04:57Well, I'm going to give you the capital city of a country in North, Central or South America or the Caribbean.
05:03Please give me the country.
05:05Get this right and your money won't count down.

05:19Just got in there.
05:20Safe for now.
05:21Just in time, yeah.
05:22Well, you're safe for now.
05:23OK.
05:24You are all back on the buzzers.

06:12And that is the end of that category.
06:15Never have we been waiting to hear those words come quicker, Taylor.
06:20I'm sweating.
06:21OK.
06:22I think I'm sweating for you, Taylor.
06:24Yep.
06:25That wasn't your best category.
06:27Did you know any of them?
06:28No.
06:29I'm not going to lie.
06:30No.
06:31Well, you know.
06:32Let's hope in the next one you're going to know loads of them.
06:34Bernie.
06:35Good, solid round there.
06:36Yeah.
06:37Yeah, I did OK.
06:38I was happy with that.
06:39You did great.
06:40Were you thinking, now's my chance, I'll send Taylor home?
06:43No, not at all.
06:44I was just trying to get myself off the bottom.
06:46That's all I was thinking.
06:48Well, it worked.
06:49Yeah.
06:50It's a risky strategy sometimes buzzing back in, but when it pays off,
06:53oh, it can really work.
06:55OK.
06:56Our next set of questions is about alliterative actresses.
07:02I will give you the first name of a nominee or winner of the Best Actress Oscar.
07:08Please give me their surname, which begins with the same letter as their first name.
07:14Now, we've seen how important this first question is.
07:17Get this right and your money won't count down.
07:20You are all on the buzzer.
07:22Here is your first question.
07:26Susan.
07:27Taylor.
07:28Sarandon.
07:29Is correct.
07:30I mean, was that just a wild guess, or...?
07:35I think it was the only actress I could think of that had Ss.
07:40Well, of all the times to put it out of the bag, that was the time, Taylor.
07:44Bernie, does that mean the pressure's on you a little bit now?
07:47Definitely, yeah.
07:48OK.
07:49You're all back on the buzzers.
07:50Start the timers.

08:08Correct.
08:11What a piece there.
08:13You all got one right.
08:14Ah.
08:15Taylor, did you know any of those other ones?
08:17Mikey Madison, I knew.
08:19The rest of them, not great.
08:21Were you tempted to maybe buzz in
08:23and try and send some of your opponents home a bit faster?
08:26Tried to.
08:27Tried to.
08:28I'll get there.
08:29OK.
08:30Our next set of questions is about...
08:36So I'm going to give you a clue to a word used in the field of science
08:40that begins with the letter C.
08:43Please tell me what that word is.
08:46How's your science, people?
08:48Kevin's not giving anything away there.
08:50No.
08:51Definitely not a science person.
08:52Oof.
08:53Taylor?
08:54No.
08:55Not much stronger, sir.
08:56Is that nervous laugh?
08:57Olivia, you must have done a lot of science, trying to be a vest.
09:00I did a lot of science, so this could be very embarrassing.
09:05I thought you were going to say,
09:06this could be my chance to send them home.
09:09OK.
09:10You are all on the buzzers.
09:12Here's your first question.
09:15Chemical element with the symbol CA.
09:19Kevin.
09:20Carbon.
09:21Is incorrect.
09:22It's calcium.
09:24Carbon's just C.
09:25Yeah.
09:26So, Kevin, your money timer will begin counting down.
09:29Yeah.
09:30The rest of you, you are back on the buzzers.
09:33Here is the next question.

10:54Did you know any of them?
10:55No.
10:56Oh, I did a few.
10:57But I'm too slow.
10:58Do they feel like they were ganging up on you a little bit?
11:00Yeah, it was really horrible.
11:01Is that nasty Olivia down there who knew all the answers?
11:04Was trying to get you out of the game?
11:05Oh, it was horrible.
11:06Oh.
11:07It's really stressful, isn't it?
11:09It is.
11:10Yes, it is.
11:11Sweaty palms.
11:12Sweaty.
11:13Oh.

11:18Definitely didn't embarrass yourself.
11:20Thankfully.
11:21Thankfully.
11:22There's still time.
11:23Well, our next set of questions is all about...
11:27Madonna hits.
11:31Kevin, great reaction there.
11:33I think I literally know maybe one song and that's about it.
11:36OK, so should we just hope that that's the first one?
11:39Let's hope that's...
11:40Don't say it out loud.
11:41Let's just hope.
11:42Yeah.
11:43He is the king of the first question.
11:44So it would be a good time to pull that out of the bag, OK?
11:47I'm going to give you the names of singles by Madonna
11:50or that have her as a named featured artist.
11:53They all hit the UK top ten.
11:56In each case, I will be leaving off the last word.
11:59Please tell me that word.
12:01You are all on the buzzer.
12:03He's the first question.
12:06Into the blank.
12:07Bernie.

12:41Oh!
12:43Oh, my God.
12:44I thought that was me.
12:45I can well imagine you thought it was you.
12:48That last question just saved you.
12:52I was thinking, what's she doing?
12:54She's so tight.
12:55She's buzzing in.
12:57Oh, my goodness.
12:59That was horrible.
13:01That was a tight round, guys.
13:0330 pounds away from elimination.
13:07Not good.
13:08Needs a buck up.
13:09No?
13:10But you're still here.
13:12But Taylor.
13:13That last one was the only one I knew.
13:15Oh!
13:16Cheers, Pooey.
13:18What would be the soundtrack for your day-to-day on Time Is Money?
13:21Nothing by Madonna.
13:23Good call.
13:25Nothing by Madonna.
13:27Time of my life.
13:28Time of my life.
13:29I am going to take that brilliantly.
13:32Oh!
13:33Do you know what?
13:34You've been a fantastic contestant.
13:36You've just been brilliant.
13:37But sadly, we're going to have to say goodbye.
13:40Thank you for having me.
13:42Taylor, you're out of time and you're out of money.
13:45APPLAUSE
13:46Oh, so, the rest of you, well done on making it through to round two.
13:54Some of you by the skin of your teeth.
13:57I think you're all learning just how quick this game can be.
14:01Yeah.
14:02Yep.
14:03OK.
14:04The money that you've saved will be carried through to the final
14:07for whichever of you make it there.
14:09So, let's see what you've saved.
14:11Bernie, you've banked £430.
14:15Pooey, you've managed to bank £30.
14:18Ooh!
14:19Kevin, you've banked £160.
14:22And Olivia, you've banked £520.

14:31It's now time for round two.
14:33Now, this time, there's more cash to play with.
14:36In this round, it's £1,250.
14:40Let's top up those timers.
14:45Now, as this is round two, you don't just get one clue to answer.
14:48You're going to get two.
14:50Our first set of questions is all about...
14:54Number twos.
14:57I will give you the titles of two singles
14:59that reached number two in the UK Singles Chart.
15:03They were both number two in the same calendar year.
15:06Please name the act that had number twos with both of them.
15:09You are all on the buzzes.
15:11Time is money.
15:12And here is that all-important first question.
15:16Chikatita and I have a dream.
15:19Pooey.
15:20Abba.
15:21Is correct.
15:22Which means that you are safer now.
15:24And isn't she pleased about that?
15:26Sorry.
15:27Happy dance.
15:28What a comeback from round one, Pooey.
15:31Whoo!
15:32Whoo!
15:33So, let's hope that these lot don't know a lot
15:36and you can take your chance to get ahead.
15:38Oh, take a chance.

16:12OK, that's the end of the category
16:15and our players are putting up a good fight.
16:18Let's see what happens after the break.
16:32Welcome back to Time Is Money.

18:25How the tables have turned.
18:28Yeah.
18:29Pooey.
18:30I mean she looks like the cat that got the cream right now, doesn't she?
18:32Oh wow.
18:33Strong category for you there.
18:36Not too bad.
18:37And Olivia.
18:39You've not been here before.
18:40It's a little bit nerve-wracking when you're watching your time a countdown like that.
18:44It was.
18:45I honestly don't know what a chancellor of an exchequer is.
18:48That explains it a little bit.
18:50Well, thankfully that question is gone.
18:53We can forget about it.
18:54OK?
18:55And the next set of questions is all about...
18:59B words.
19:01So I'm going to give you two different definitions which both lead to the same word.
19:06You need to tell me which word connects both definitions.
19:09You're all on the buzzer.
19:11Here is the first question.
19:14The tough outer covering of a tree and a nice pooey.
19:18Bark.
19:19Is correct.
19:21Pooey?
19:22I don't believe it.
19:24Three for three in this round.
19:25I don't know.
19:26What's going on in round one?
19:27Two clues.
19:28It's kind of nice.
19:30But you didn't even wait for the end of that clue.
19:33It's like she didn't need it.
19:35Oh, you want to watch out.
19:36You know what she was like in that last round?
19:37Yeah.
19:38She was going for blood.
19:40Right.
19:41So, Pooey, you're safe for now, but you are all back on the buzzers.
19:45Let's start the timers.
19:49Bat.
19:51To bend under heat or pressure and the fastening on a belt.
19:55Kevin.
19:56Buckle.
19:57Correct.
19:58Spin up the timers.
19:59A strip or loop of metal and a group of musicians.
20:02Bernie.
20:03Bands.
20:04Correct.
20:05The raised ground alongside a river and a building, Olivia.
20:08Bang.
20:09Is correct.
20:15Oh, it's tight at the bottom there between Kevin and Olivia.
20:18The first time you've had the lowest money amount so far.
20:21How are you feeling?
20:22I'd rather sit my vet school exams ten times than doing it.
20:27Wow.
20:28It's stressful.
20:29I mean, I knew it was stressful, but wow.
20:31It's so stressful.
20:33Well, let's hope this next category plays more to your liking, OK?
20:37Yeah.
20:38So, the next set of questions is all about movie characters.
20:43Are you good with movies there, Olivia?
20:45Depends on the movie.
20:46OK, so, I'm going to give you the names of two actors
20:49and a clue to a film or series of films.
20:53You need to tell me the name of the character
20:55that both actors played in those films, please.
20:59OK?
21:00In some cases, we will accept surnames alone,
21:03but a first name will not be enough.
21:05Right, you're all on the buzzer.
21:07Olivia, this will be a really good time to pull one out of the bag.
21:10So, here is that all-important first question.
21:14Roger Moore and Daniel Craig.
21:17Olivia.
21:18James Bond.
21:19Is correct.
21:21You knew what you needed to do, and you did it.
21:24You beat Pooey to that first buzzer.
21:25So, Olivia, you're safe for now.
21:29You are all back on the buzzers.
21:31Start the timers.
21:32Richard Harris and Michael Gambon in Harry Potter films.
21:36Olivia.
21:37Dumbledore.
21:38Correct.
21:39Speed up the timers.
21:40Albert Finney and Kenneth Brommer in films of Murder on the Orient Express.
21:44Pooey.
21:45Laura Croft.
21:46Correct.
21:47Speed up the timers.
21:48Henry Cavill and Christopher Reeve in films based on...
21:49Kevin.
21:50Superman.
21:52It was correct, but it just wasn't in time there, Kevin.
21:54You hadn't completed your answer...
21:55Yeah.
21:56..at the point at which you ran out of money.
21:58Yeah.
21:59That was so tight.
22:00So close.
22:01Yeah.
22:02Oh, Kevin.
22:03Yeah.
22:04I could feel the pressure just radiating off you there.
22:05Yeah.
22:06I bet you were thinking, Olivia, what are you doing?
22:07Yeah.
22:08Please don't get this right.
22:09Yeah.
22:10I'm afraid your time is up, Kevin.
22:11Oh, thank you very much.
22:12Thanks for having us.
22:13Kevin, you're out of time and you're out of money.
22:16APPLAUSE
22:17Well done, the rest of you from making it through to round three.
22:19Bowie, you've gone from right at the bottom to dominating that last round.
22:23You must be thrilled with that performance.
22:24Yeah.
22:25I was beginning to think I was a bit hopeless.
22:26I was beginning to think I was a bit hopeless.
22:28Bernie, how do you feel being next to her?
22:29It's a bit intimidating, to be honest, because she's so quick on the buzzer and getting
22:53everything right.
22:55That's the thing in this game, it's not just about getting the questions right.
22:58Yeah, yeah.
22:59Time is money, you've got to be quick.
23:00Yeah, yeah.
23:01And Olivia, ooh, that one was a bit close.
23:03Bit too close, yeah.
23:05Bit too close for comfort.
23:06Yes.
23:07Yes, well, let's hope in this next round you can turn things around.
23:10So the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final for you, whichever
23:14of you make it there.
23:15Let's see what you've all saved.
23:17So Bernie, you've saved £370.
23:20Hooey, you've saved a whopping £1,110.
23:25Amazing.
23:26And Olivia, you've saved £240.
23:29So let's save all of that money for later.
23:31It's now time for round three, and this time you're starting with £1,500 in your timers.
23:42Let's top up those timers.
23:44So this time, because it's round three, we're giving you three clues to each answer.
23:52But as before, the cash countdown will be even faster.
23:56Our first set of questions is all about celebrities.
24:02I'm going to name three celebrities who were all born in the same UK city.
24:07I'd like you to tell me the name of that city.
24:10All the answers have city status.
24:13Time is money, so here is that all-important first question.
24:17Craig Charles, Cilla Black, Bernie...
24:23Liverpool.
24:24..is correct.
24:27Where are you from, Bernie?
24:28Liverpool.
24:29I was about the only one where they've gone, I think.
24:31I was never a guest.
24:32Well, Bernie, you're safe for now.
24:34You are all back on the buzzers.
24:36Let's start the timers.
24:38Jimmy Nail, Declan Donnelly and Cheryl Pui.
24:42Birmingham.
24:43Incorrect.
24:44It's Newcastle.
24:45Lose £50.
24:46Julie Walters, Alison Hammond and Ozzy Osbourne.
24:49Pui.
24:50Birmingham.
24:51Is correct.
24:52Louis Capaldi, Lorraine Kelly, Olivia.
24:55Glasgow.
24:56Is correct.
24:59Well, you guys made quick work of that one, didn't you?
25:02It's horrible.
25:03Pui.
25:04Come on, me Newcastle folk.
25:06I'm sorry.
25:07Birmingham.
25:08I totally knew.
25:09Jimmy Nail.
25:10Pui.
25:11Sorry.
25:12Pui, the lads.
25:14I mean, you've got the comeback, though.
25:17There's nothing between you.
25:19Our next set of questions is all about birds.
25:24So I'm going to give you the first part of the names of two bird species that are resident
25:30in or visit the UK.
25:31I'd like you to tell me the type of bird that completes their names.
25:36I'm also going to give you the initial letter of that word.
25:40Olivia, you're a vet.
25:42And I don't know my birds, so this is going to be very embarrassing.
25:45Oh, well.
25:46Let's see how we get on with this one.
25:48OK.
25:49This question is the important one.
25:51First question.
25:52So you're all on the buzzers.
25:54Here it is.
25:55Barn and Tony, O.
25:58Bernie.
25:59Ow.
26:00Is correct.
26:01So, Bernie, you're safe.
26:03Again.
26:04You are all back on the buzzers.
26:07Let's start the timers.
26:09Barnacle and Canada, G.
26:11Pooey.
26:12Goose.
26:13Correct.
26:14Cole and Blue, T.
26:16Olivia.
26:17Tits.
26:18Correct.
26:19And there we are.
26:21She does know her blue tits from her tawny owls after all.
26:26Whew.
26:27It's close here.
26:29Yeah, it's very close now.
26:30It's very close, this one.
26:32Very close.
26:33Right.
26:34Let's reveal our next set of questions.
26:35They're all about...
26:37Premier League winning managers.
26:40Ooh.
26:41Hooey, I saw that.
26:43Ooh.
26:44Oh, no.
26:46Not quite a big football manager lover.
26:48No, not really.
26:49Well, listen, I'm going to give you three clues to a football manager.
26:53The first is the season in which they won the Premier League or First Division.
26:57The second is the team with which they won the title in that season.
27:01And the final clue is their first name.
27:04You need to tell me their surname.
27:06Okay?
27:07How's your football knowledge, Olivia?
27:08Awful.
27:09I had to think what sport Premier League was.
27:12Okay.
27:13Good luck.
27:14I'll give it a go.
27:15Excellent.
27:16So, remember, I'm just looking for the surname.
27:18This first question is the important one.
27:21Let's see if Bernie can do it again.
27:23Here is that all-important first question.
27:272019-20, Liverpool and Jurgen.
27:31Bernie...
27:32Klopp.
27:33...is correct.
27:34I wouldn't have been allowed to go home if I didn't get that one.
27:36You're right, you wouldn't have been.
27:37Okay.
27:38So, Bernie, you're safe again for now.
27:40You are all back on the buzzers.
27:43Let's start the timers.

28:48Bernie...
28:49Kendall.
28:50And that is the end of that category.
28:52Olivia, you're still here.
28:54I did as expected.
28:56But the good thing is, you were having a great round up to now,
28:59which meant that it didn't drain you all the way to the bottom.
29:02There's still time to turn this around.
29:04Yes.
29:05Pooey, you didn't do too bad there.
29:07Who knew?
29:08For someone who thought this was going to be a terrible round,
29:10you've got a few in there.
29:11Oh.
29:12And had the confidence to buzz in.
29:14Mmm.
29:15Flex.
29:16OK, our next set of questions is about...
29:20Best Picture Oscar winners.
29:22So I'm going to give you the names of three actors and actresses
29:25from a film that has won the Best Picture Oscar at the Academy Awards.
29:30We'll also give you the year that the film was first released.
29:33I'd like you to give me the name of the best picture-winning film
29:37in which all three appeared.
29:39You're all on the buzzers.
29:41Here's that first question.
29:48Pooey...
29:49Gladiator.
29:50..is correct.
29:51Which means your timer will not be counting down.
29:54Olivia, remember, you may be at risk now,
29:58but it's not over until that last coin drops.
30:01Best of luck.
30:02You are all on the buzzers.

30:25Debbie Turner, Christopher Plummer...
30:28It started so well.
30:31You started so well in round one.
30:34You really, really did.
30:35But it just shows what a rollercoaster ride this show can be.
30:39Yes.
30:40Fortunes can change in an instant.
30:42Now, unfortunately, Olivia,
30:44it does mean that we're going to have to say goodbye,
30:46but you've been a fantastic contestant
30:48and put up a brilliant fight against these two.
30:51Bye.
30:52Olivia, you're out of time and you're out of time.
30:55Out of time.
30:59So, Bernie Pooey,
31:01well done on making it through to the head-to-head now, Pooey.
31:05After that first round, I did not expect to be seeing you here.
31:08I don't expect to be here either.
31:10Wow.
31:11I mean, talk about from right down here to right up there.
31:14You must be pretty thrilled.
31:15I am really thrilled, yeah.
31:17Really proud of yourself.
31:19So nerve-wracking.
31:20You've put in a great performance so far, though.
31:23And Bernie, that last round...
31:26A lot better than earlier on.
31:27Just getting warmed up.
31:28Yeah.
31:29He's on peak performance now.
31:30Well, listen, the money that you've both saved
31:33will be carried through to the final for you, OK?
31:35Whichever of you makes it.
31:37Now, let's see what you've saved.
31:39Bernie, £1,420.
31:42And Pooey, not far behind, £1,200.
31:47Well done, both of you.
31:48Let's save that money for later.
31:53We're down to just two, and things are getting really exciting.
31:56Join us after the break for the head-to-head.
31:59APPLAUSE
32:09Welcome back.
32:10This is Time Is Money.
32:12This game has been a rollercoaster so far,
32:15and we are left with just two players.
32:18Bernie and Pooey, how are you feeling?
32:21Good, yeah, good.
32:23Good? You should be feeling good, Bernie.
32:25You've got some really big amounts that you've taken through there.
32:28Wasn't too good early on.
32:29Well, just forget about that bit, Bernie.
32:31I mean, it could have been worse.
32:32You could have been Pooey just clinging on in round one,
32:35and she's still here.
32:36I'm still reliving round one.
32:39Well, listen, that's all in the past.
32:41It's now time for the head-to-head.
32:43We're going to top up your timers,
32:45this time with £1,750.
32:50Let's top up those timers.
32:52This head-to-head is all about staying in control
32:57as your opponent's money drains away.
33:00I'm going to ask you questions on a particular category.
33:03Answer correctly, and your opponent's timer
33:06will start to count down.
33:08If you keep buzzing in and answering correctly,
33:11then your opponent's timer will speed up.
33:13But if you buzz in and get one wrong,
33:16or if your opponent buzzes in with the right answer,
33:19then their timer will stop and yours will start instead.
33:23Are you both ready?
33:24Yeah.
33:25Your first set of questions start...
33:28In which decade of the 20th century?
33:32You are both on the buzzes.

37:28Incorrect.
37:29Lose £50.
37:30Didn't mean to press it.
37:32God, Bernie!
37:33Did you say you didn't mean to press that, Bernie?
37:34Yeah, I had my finger on it.
37:35Obviously, I was getting too enthusiastic.
37:36I thought you just could see you were nearly at the end.
37:39Well, yeah, it was sort of...
37:40I've just got to buzz in and guess.
37:41Buzz in and guess.
37:42It might have worked.
37:43That's what happens when it gets so close to the wire.
37:45Yeah, yeah.
37:46So I was going to ask what prestigious medal first awarded in 1936 is regarded as the equivalent of a Nobel Prize in Mathematics.
38:02Would you have known the answer?
38:04No.
38:05It's the Fields Medal.
38:06Wow.
38:07That was a really, really tight round.
38:10It was a bit crazy, that one.
38:13Well, you've both done absolutely brilliant.
38:16And I'm gutted that we're going to be saying bye to you, Bernie, because you've been a fantastic contestant.
38:20You were so close to the final, but unfortunately, we're just going to have to say goodbye.
38:27Bernie, you're out of time and you're out of money.
38:30That was a rapid head-to-head.
38:35Join me after the break as Pooey plays to win all the cash she's saved if she can stop all the money timers.
38:52Welcome back to Timers Money, where Pooey is about to take on her biggest challenge yet.
38:58Congratulations, Pooey. You've made it through to the final round. How are you feeling?
39:03I'm quite elated, actually. Thank you.
39:05Yes, you should be. I tell you what, what a rollercoaster.
39:09From just scraping through that first round to being on top door now.
39:13You've got to be proud of yourself.
39:14I am. So whatever happens, I've won.
39:17I like that attitude. I like that attitude.
39:20Now is your chance to win the money that you've saved earlier in the game.
39:24So let's bring back your previous money timers.
39:26In round one, you managed £30.
39:30In round two, it was a brilliant £1,110.
39:35In round three, even better, £1,200.
39:40And just then, in the head-to-head, you saved £610.
39:43Now, in our final, time really is money.
39:48Your timers are about to start counting down simultaneously.
39:52If any hits zero, you'll be going home with nothing.
39:54But before you take this on, you've got the chance to top up your timers one last time with up to £2,000.
40:04There are five questions and five chances to top up your timers.
40:09But get one wrong, and your highest timer will lock.
40:13And I don't need to tell you how important this will be for timer one.
40:17Are you ready?
40:18Yes.
40:19Let's play.
40:24In Nintendo video games, Luigi is the twin brother of which other Italian plumber?
40:29Mario.

41:23Hooey, if there was ever a time to pull it out the bag, that was it. Look at timer one.
41:29Oh, my goodness.
41:30£530.
41:31That puts you in with a fighting chance.
41:34We're now looking at quite a lot of money.
41:37So, if you win, what are you going to spend it on?
41:40I think I'd like to go away for Christmas because it's always really cold in this country and I'd quite like to go somewhere hot for Christmas with my two daughters.
41:47Oh, how old are your daughters?
41:5021 and 23, so they'll appreciate that.
41:53Great time to go somewhere nice and hot.
41:55I think that is a great plan and I think if they're watching now, they'll be rooting for you to do well.
41:59They will.
42:00Definitely.
42:01It's time for the final.
42:02Your timers are about to start counting down simultaneously.
42:07You must take on your timers one by one by answering a question correctly to stop them.
42:13But get one wrong and the most recently stopped timer will restart.
42:17If you can stop all four timers before any of them hit zero, then you'll take home whatever money remains.
42:25But if any of them hit zero, the game will end and you will leave with nothing.
42:30Just to warn you, the timers will speed up every 30 seconds.
42:36So, which timer would you like to start at?
42:40One.
42:41Good choice.
42:43Best of luck.
42:44Start the timers.
42:52Martin Lewis.
42:53It's correct.
42:54Stop the timer.
42:55Where next?
42:56Four.
43:01Mexico.
43:03Oh.
43:04Incorrect.
43:05It's New Mexico.
43:06Oh.
43:07Start the timer.
43:08Which singer duetted with Taylor Swift on the 2013 UK Top 10 single?

43:53Coffee.

43:55Stop the timer.
43:56Where next?
43:57One.
43:58121.
43:59Of course it was Penny Mordaunt.
44:01Oh!
44:02Never mind.
44:03I thought you'd done enough.
44:04I thought when you'd topped up those timers...
44:05Yeah.
44:06...530 would be enough.
44:07Never mind.
44:08Is it stressful when you start seeing four timers counting down?
44:09Yes.
44:10Yeah!
44:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
44:12I wasn't quite...
44:13With it.
44:14Well, listen, I mean, you've been a fantastic contestant and you've entertained us on this
44:17roller coaster, I have to say.
44:18But you know what, Pooey?
44:19We're not letting you go home empty-handed.
44:20You are still going to be taking home the coveted timer's money coin.
44:21Ooh!
44:22That's nice.
44:23Oh, indeed.
44:24Exactly.
44:25Well, listen, thank you for playing.
44:26Pooey, you've been absolutely brilliant.
44:27Oh, thank you.
44:28But that's it for today.

44:54Thank you so much, thanks.
45:21They've worked hard.
