00:00Welcome to Time Is Money, the fastest quiz on TV,
00:26where five players are about to be given thousands of pounds
00:29before they answer a single question.
00:32But in this game, it's not about getting the money.
00:34The trick is keeping hold of it.
00:37Let's meet our five players, all hoping to last the longest today.
00:41As this is the quickest quiz,
00:42can you sum yourself up in just three words?
00:45I'm Louis, and I'm a cruise-singing showjumper.
00:47I'm Millie, I'm a panda-loving lifeguard.
00:50I'm Abderrahim, I'm a competitive wheelchair basketballer.
00:52I'm Gerpal, and I'm a business-owning trendsetter.
00:55I'm Steph, and I'm a sleep specialist supermum.
00:58Wow, what a line-up we've got in today.
01:01Louis, a cruise-singing showjumper.
01:04That's right. I've been singing on cruise ships for 15 years now.
01:07Wow.
01:08And in my spare time,
01:09I've competitively showjumped my horses at home.
01:11Fantastic.
01:12And you just got all over the world on the cruise ships?
01:14All over. I've been round the world seven times.
01:16Oh, my word, that is incredible.
01:18Yep.
01:19And Abderrahim, a competitive basketballer.
01:22What position do you play in?
01:23Oh, I'm a guard.
01:24Fantastic. And you play competitively?
01:26I played the Commonwealth Games in 2022.
01:29We got a bronze medal.
01:30So we've got a bronze medalist in our midst.
01:33That is impressive.
01:35So does that mean you're going to be all right at the sports rounds as well?
01:37I really hope so.
01:38Oh.
01:39Well, it's great to have you all with us.
01:41Let's play Time Is Money.
01:43In front of each of you is your money timer.
01:48An hourglass that we're filling with cash that you could be taking home.
01:53For round one, you're going to start with £1,000.
01:56Let's top up the timers.
02:01But in this game, time is money.
02:04So the trick is keeping hold of it.
02:06If you can't get a question right, your money will count down coin by coin.
02:11And if you run out of money, your time in the game is up.
02:15Now, our first set of questions is all about...
02:25Mixed reactions across the board there.
02:27This one could be interesting, OK?
02:29So I'm going to give you the name of a band or artist,
02:32followed by a single that they took to number one in the UK chart.
02:36The last word in each single is missing from its title.
02:40I'd like you to give me the missing word that completes it.
02:43There are up to ten questions to answer in each category.
02:47This first question is crucial
02:50because the player who gives me the right answer
02:52will stop their money timer from counting down for now.
02:56So get ready on your buzzers.
02:58Here is your first question.
03:03The Buggles video killed the radio blank.
03:06Steph.
03:07Star.
03:08Is correct.
03:10So, Steph, great start.
03:12You're safe for now.
03:13The rest of you, your timers are going to start counting down
03:17at a rate of £10 a second.
03:19You must buzz in correctly to stop your timer
03:22but an incorrect answer costs £50.
03:25Steph, if you buzz in before the others with a right answer,
03:29you will speed up their timers, potentially sending them
03:31out of the game sooner.
03:33But an incorrect answer will restart your own timer.
03:36Are you all ready?
03:37Yes.
03:38Let's start the timers.
03:39Let's start the timers.
03:44Earth.
03:45Is correct.

04:23And that is the end of the category, girl pal, you will be thrilled to hear.
04:29Shocking.
04:30Were you trying to buzz in?
04:31Yeah, I think there were a couple that I did, but just not quick enough, unfortunately.
04:35These guys are quick.
04:37How did it feel when they were all, like, out to get you speeding up your timer?
04:40Listen, it's part of the game, isn't it? So, I understand.
04:43Guys, that was brutal. It's his first question.
04:46Now I can breathe.
04:48Breathing a sigh of relief there, Louie. You were going for it there.
04:51Trying to just get it out there.
04:53It's time for a comeback now, girl pal.
04:54Comeback king.
04:55Yes, come on, the comeback king.
04:57Yes, let's have it.
04:58So, our next set of questions is all about European airports.
05:04I'm going to give you the official three-letter IATA codes for airports across Europe.
05:10Please give me the capital city they serve.
05:13OK?
05:14So, we've seen how important this first question is.
05:17Get this right and your money won't count down.
05:20Come on, girl pal.
05:21Let's do it.
05:22Yeah?
05:23OK, you're all on the buzzer.
05:24Here is your first question.

06:26And that is the end of the category.
06:29Gurpal, you weren't kidding when you called yourself the comeback king.
06:34The same.
06:35I made a bold claim.
06:36Yeah, you did make a bold claim, but my word you lived a bad name.
06:39But my word, you lived up to it.
06:41Tried to. You were there.
06:43Buzz in, send the timers quicker, send them home,
06:46let's level the playing fields. I can see.
06:49So does it feel good to get your own back on them a bit?
06:52I feel a bit bad, cos obviously, you know,
06:54but it's part of the game, like I said before.
06:56Awww. Lovely girl pal there feels terrible.
06:59It's just part of the game, though.
07:01Millie, how are you feeling? A little bit at risk now.
07:03I'm not good with geography. It's not my best subject.
07:06Well, there's still time to turn it around.
07:08It is not over till the last coin drops.
07:11Yes. OK.
07:13Our next set of questions is all about combined words.
07:17So I will give you two words.
07:20Please tell me the single term that is commonly used
07:23when those two words are combined.
07:25So, for example, if the clues were glamorous and camping,
07:30the answer would be glamping.
07:32Ah, great. Yes, right.
07:33So you are all on the buzzer.
07:35Here is that all-important first question.
07:37There are a few of you who could really do with this now.
07:40OK?
07:42Breakfast and lunch.
07:45Millie. Brunch.
07:46Is correct.
07:47Oh, she pulled it out of the bag when she needed to.
07:50I'm sweating.
07:51Whoo!
07:52Right.
07:53So, Millie, you're safer now.
07:55Yes.
07:56You are all on the buzzers.
07:57Start the timers.

08:30Hero to zero.
08:32Oh, no way.
08:33Stay and vacation, would you have got it?
08:36Staycation?
08:37Yeah.
08:38What a shame.
08:39Can't believe it.
08:40Literally, our top performing player.
08:42Oh, no.
08:43To being the one who's out.
08:44That is the game, guys.
08:46Fortunes can change in an instant.
08:48You've been a great player, though.
08:51You've been brilliant, but sadly, it means we're going to have to say goodbye.
08:54Bye, guys.
08:55Bye.
08:56Good luck.
08:57Steph, you're out of time and you're out of money.
09:04So the rest of you, well done.
09:06That's when I'm making it through to the next round.
09:08That was awful.
09:09Good girl, pal.
09:10Are you surprised to be here?
09:12No, I knew I was going to be here.
09:13No, I'm joking.
09:14No, I'm joking.
09:15I love that little bit of an air of confidence.
09:16Live life on the edge, you know it is.
09:19If you are living life on the edge, I'm not sure my blood pressure is going to be able
09:22to cope with this episode.
09:24My word, that was tight.
09:26Well, the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final for you,
09:30whichever of you makes it there.
09:32So let's see what you've saved.
09:33Louis, what a start.
09:35£790.
09:36Well done.
09:37I think it's beginner's luck.
09:39We'll find out.
09:40Millie, £280.
09:42Still in.
09:43Great start.
09:44Still here.
09:45Abderrahim, £430.
09:46Solid start to that round.
09:48Gopal, £20.
09:50He's still here.
09:51Petrol home.
09:52So let's save that money for later.
09:55It's now time for round two.
10:00This time, there's more cash to play with.
10:03In this round, it's £1,250.
10:06Let's top up those timers.
10:11As this is round two, you don't just get one clue to the answer.
10:15You're going to get two.
10:16Our first set of questions is about US presidents and vice presidents.
10:22I will give you the name of a US vice president and the first name or first name and initial,
10:29if that's how they're known, of the president they served under.
10:32Please give me the president's surname.
10:36I'm Durham.
10:37Not feeling too good about this one.
10:39On the edge.
10:40On the edge.
10:41He's living life on the edge right now, folks.
10:43Exactly, exactly.
10:44Millie, you didn't look too chuffed when this came out.
10:46No.
10:48Awful.
10:49Louis, this could be your round then.
10:51I don't know.
10:52I don't want to speak too soon.
10:55OK.
10:56Time is money.
10:57So here is your first question.
11:02Pamela Harris and Joe.
11:04Abderrahim.
11:05Biden.
11:06Is correct.
11:07Which means you're safe for now.
11:09You are all on the buzzers.

11:28Well, that was a great short round.
11:30What were we all stressing about?
11:32What were we all stressing about?
11:33That weren't too bad.
11:34Nothing to worry about at all.
11:36It's very level at the moment, but who will falter first?
11:39Find out after the break.
11:41Welcome back to Time is Money.
11:55As our players have just found out their money is never safe in this game.
11:59So that first one was close.
12:00Let's see how you get on with our next set of questions.
12:03They are all about things that are third in a sequence.
12:08So I will give you the subject of a list and then two things that occur consecutively in that list.
12:14Please give me the third item that would immediately follow each pair.
12:18Right.
12:19You are all on the buzzers.
12:21Here is that all-important first question.
12:24So, Abderahim, your money timer will be counting down.
12:39The rest of you, here is your next question.

13:44Oh, starting to get a bit nervous for you there, Millie.
13:46I'm shaking, Sue.
13:47And you said that one really quite...
13:49X.
13:50As if, like, is it an X?
13:52I didn't know, I just guessed.
13:53You just guessed...
13:54Well, hey, it was worth a guess.
13:55Yes.
13:56Lost quite a bit of money there, though.
13:57Down to 750.
13:59Well, this next set of questions is all about drama and comedy stars.
14:06I'm going to give you the name of a character in a drama and a character in a comedy that have been played by the same actor or actress on TV.
14:14Please name them.
14:15Abderrahim, you didn't look too chuffed when this one came out.
14:19I'm not that big into TV.
14:21Ah.
14:22Could be a problem.
14:24Louie, you look excited for this one.
14:26Oh, no.
14:27It's going to be very hit or miss.
14:28OK.
14:29Let's hope it's more the hitting than the missing.
14:31Let's hope so.
14:32Now, you all know how important this first question is, OK?
14:36You're all on the buzzer.
14:37Here is your first question.
14:45Gurpal.
14:46David Jason.
14:47It's correct.
14:49Comeback King is getting ready, flexing his muscles.
14:53So, Gurpal, you're safe for now.

16:11Too slow.
16:12It's Richard Briars.
16:13And that is the end of the category.
16:16Brutal, man.
16:17I mean, you weren't kidding, Abderrahim, when you said you don't watch a lot of telly.
16:21If it was American stuff, I think I would have been all right, but I felt like it was going on for days.
16:25But what maybe is a little bit good is it wasn't everybody else's best round either.
16:29No.
16:30It felt like you had someone dominating trying to take you down.
16:33So it could have been a lot worse.
16:34And do you know what?
16:35It is not over till the last coin drops as someone to your left has taught you well.
16:42Watch and learn.
16:44Watch how it was shocking next time.
16:47That was brilliant.
16:48Well, this next set of questions is all about land borders.
16:56How's your geography, Abderrahim?
16:57I feel like I can gain back a bit of land on this one.
17:00Oh, I see what he did there.
17:02Nice.
17:03So, I'm going to give you the name of a country that has a land border with only one other country.
17:09I'd like you to tell me the name of that country, please.
17:12I'll give you the initial letter or letters of the country's name.
17:15So, Louis, you must be feeling good about this one.
17:19Geography was my worst subject at school.
17:22You've just told me you've been around the world seven times.
17:24I know, on a boat.
17:26Yeah, a lot of ports but nowhere inland.
17:28Here.
17:29You're all on the buzzers.
17:30You know how important this first one is.
17:32Here it comes.
17:36Spain.
17:37It's correct.
17:38He pulled it out the bag when he needed to.
17:40Girl, pal, you taught him well.
17:42Unfortunately, too well.
17:43After that title.
17:44So, Abderahim, you're safe for now.
17:47You are all back on the buzzers.
17:49Let's start the timers.

18:31Timor-Leste and I.
18:32Timor-Leste and I.
18:36Too slow, it's Indonesia.
18:38But that is the end of the category.
18:41You will be really thrilled to hear there, Emily.
18:44Geography is not my thing.
18:45I've realised that.
18:46Yeah, I think we all have.
18:47But it is not over till that last coin drops.
18:52OK, this next set of questions could be the one that changes the game.
18:58And it's all about...
19:02Oh, Millie looks a bit relieved about that.
19:05Better than geography.
19:07Right.
19:08I'm going to give you the titles of songs.
19:11These are all by female singers who are best known by a one-word name.
19:16I'll also give you the date that the song was first ended in the UK charts
19:20and the initial of the singer.
19:22Please tell me the name of the singer.
19:24Millie, I'm sure you don't need me to tell you, but this first question
19:27now would be a great time to pull it out of the bag.
19:29Yep.
19:30You are all on the buzzers.
19:32Here is your first question.
19:39Rihanna.
19:40Rihanna is correct.
19:41He didn't even need the R.
19:43So, Louie, you're safe for now.
19:46You are all back on the buzzers.
19:48Let's start the timers.
19:53Too slow, it's Enya.
19:56If I could turn back time, 1989.
20:03Did you know that one, Millie?
20:04No, but I thought if I buzz in I might figure it out by the time I answer.
20:08And have you figured it out?
20:10Erm...
20:12I know it.
20:13I know it.
20:14I know it.
20:15I know it.
20:16I don't know it.
20:17You don't know it.
20:18She doesn't know it.
20:19Cher.
20:20There we go.
20:21Louie knew it.
20:22You put up a good fight.
20:23You've been a great player and you made it through to round two.
20:26Mm-hm.
20:27So, it's not too bad.
20:28That was my goal.
20:29There you go.
20:30Well, you achieved what you set out to achieve.
20:31Mm-hm.
20:32Unfortunately, though, it does mean we're going to have to say goodbye.
20:37Millie, you're out of time and you're out of money.
20:44For the rest of you, well done on making it through to the next round.
20:48Go, pal.
20:49We've made a massive improvement on our last round savings.
20:52Yeah, 100%.
20:53Yes.
20:54Yeah, definitely. That's good.
20:55Well, the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final,
20:57whoever makes it there.
20:59So, let's have a look at what you've all saved.
21:01Louie, clinging on there with £210.
21:04That was not a good round for me.
21:06Abderrahim, £270.
21:08I'll just have to wait for Millie to go out.
21:11Oh!
21:12And Gopal, £700.
21:15Ooh!
21:16Great round.
21:17Make sure it's worth it now.
21:18So, let's save that money for later.
21:19It's now time for round three.
21:24And this time you're starting with £1,500 in your timers.
21:29Top of those timers.
21:33This time, because it's round three, we're giving you three clues to each answer.
21:38But as before, the cash countdown will be even faster.
21:42Our first set of questions is all about...

22:48Well, that was a bit of short-lived relief there.
22:51I knew Osaka and I was just waiting.
22:52I was like, oh, no, don't do it.
22:54Try not do it, try not do it!
22:55Let's not risk it.
22:56Not a piece of paper between you three at the moment.
22:59Our next set of questions is about albums.
23:03I'm going to name three albums.
23:05You need to tell me the band or artist who released them all.

24:33You were thinking of the song Writings on the Wall by Sam Smith.
24:37Well, that's really changed the landscape a bit.
24:40Pop Durham, you've lost over half of your coins in that one question.
24:45Let's hope this next set of questions is something more in your sphere.
24:49So, our next set of questions is all about famous people.

40:20Let's bring back your previous money timers.
40:23So, in round one, you saved £430.
40:28In round two, it was £270.
40:33Round three was that one we're not talking about, but we've got £100 from round three.
40:38And in the head-to-head, you've just saved £520.
40:42Now, in our final, time really is money.
40:46Your timers are about to start counting down simultaneously.
40:50If any hits zero, you'll be going home with nothing.
40:53But before you take this on, you've got the chance to top up your timers one last time with up to £2,000.
41:01There are five questions and five chances to top up your timers.
41:05Or get one wrong and your highest timer will lock.
41:09Are you ready?
41:11Very ready.
41:12Let's play.
41:17An advent calendar is traditionally used to count down the days leading up to which annual celebration?
41:22Christmas.
41:23It's correct.
41:24Top up the timers.
41:26When used in English, which French phrase meaning blank paper refers to the complete freedom for a person to do as they wish?
41:34Too slow.
41:38It's carte blanche.
41:39Lock the highest timer.
41:43Outlook, Teams and Excel are computer apps by which major US technology company?
41:48Microsoft.
41:49It's correct.
41:50Top up the timers.
41:53First broadcast in 1995, which long-running Channel 4 soap is mainly set in a fictional suburb of Chester?
42:02Coronation Street.
42:03Incorrect.
42:04It's Hollyoaks.
42:05Lock the highest timer.
42:08What is the surname of the runner Eilish and her mother Liz who both won Commonwealth gold for Scotland in the 10,000 metres?
42:17Murray.
42:18Incorrect.
42:19It's McColgan.
42:20Lock the highest timer.
42:21Well, I think it's safe to say we could have done with that being a little bit better, but you have got timer three up to £300, which is a lot better than the hundred it was at.
42:33Yeah.
42:34You've got a decent amount of money there.
42:35If you win, what are you going to spend the money on?
42:37Um, I feel like I might put it towards a car.
42:40Oh, well.
42:41I'm rooting for you.
42:42Right.
42:43It's time for the final.
42:44Your timers are about to start counting down simultaneously.
42:47You must take on your timers one by one by answering a question correctly to stop them.
42:53But get one wrong, and the most recently stopped timer will restart.
42:58If you can stop all four timers before any of them hit zero, then you will walk away with whatever money remains.
43:05But if any of them hit zero, the game will end and you will leave with nothing.
43:10And just to warn you, the timers will speed up every 30 seconds.
43:14So, I'm Derahim.
43:16Which timer would you like to start at?
43:18Timer three, please.
43:19Timer three.
43:20Excellent.
43:21Are you ready?
43:22Yes.
43:23Best of luck.
43:25Start the timers.
43:32Five.
43:33Correct.
43:34Stop the timer.
43:35Where next?
43:36Can I go to two, please?
43:45Pass.
43:46Too slow.
43:47It's gluten.
43:48Start the timer.
43:49The gluten is a well-known piece of work by which French composer?
43:55Too slow.
43:56It's Claude Debussy.
43:58Leche is the Spanish word for which dairy product?
44:00Milk.
44:01Correct.
44:02Stop the timer.
44:03Where next?
44:04It's free.
44:05The title character in the 1960s American TV series Flipper was what?
44:08It was a marine animal.
44:09Do you know what flipper was?
44:11No.
44:12No.
44:13It was a dolphin.
44:14No.
44:15It was a dolphin.
44:16No.
44:17You just didn't quite have enough in timer three to be able to afford to get anything wrong
44:25at the beginning there.
44:26Yeah.
44:27Oh, that was so destroying.
44:29So close.
44:30But you gave it a really good go.
44:33You have to have quite the nerve to answer questions while you're watching your money run down like that, don't you?
44:38Very much so.
44:40It's another level when there's all four of them going this and then you've got to think about where to go next.
44:44Too much going on.
44:45A lot going on.
44:46Well, listen.
44:47Just to have got through to the final is a huge achievement given the level of competition we've had in the show.
44:53You should be really proud of yourself.
44:56And we can't let you go home empty handed.
44:58You are going to be taking home our very coveted timer's money coin.
45:02Sweet.
45:03Perfect.
45:04Sweet.
45:05Yes.
45:06Oh, thanks for playing.
45:07Amduriam, you've been a brilliant contestant.
45:10Yes.
45:11And that's it for the day.
45:12See us next time to see five more players hoping to prove that time really is money.
45:42Bye.
45:43Bye.
45:44Bye.
