00:00Welcome to Time Is Money, the fastest quiz on TV,
00:25where five players are about to be given thousands of pounds
00:28before they answer a single question.
00:31But in this game, it's not about getting the money.
00:34The trick is keeping hold of it.
00:36Let's meet our five players, all hoping to last the longest today.
00:40As this is the quickest quiz,
00:42can you sum yourself up in just three words?
00:45I'm Harrison. I am a witty, powerlifting student.
00:49I'm Darren. I'm an artistic travelling fundraiser.
00:52I'm Lily. I'm a Chinese knotting pick-a-baller.
00:56I'm Kev, and I'm an energetic dentist-influencer.
00:59I'm Mags. I'm a passionate bingo crafter.
01:03Wow, well, what a line-up we've got in today.
01:06Lily, I must ask, what's a pickleballer?
01:09Well, it's similar to tennis and badminton.
01:12Uh-huh.
01:13It's with a plastic ball and a paddle,
01:15and it's the fastest-growing sport in the UK.
01:18Wow, is that right?
01:20Oh, and are you competitive when you play?
01:22No, I'm just a beginner.
01:24Ah.
01:25Do you think that competitive streak, though,
01:27that we might see today
01:28might come out in the pickleballing as well?
01:30I'll try, I'll try.
01:32Ooh, nice.
01:33Kev, an energetic dental influencer.
01:37So do you influence in the dentists-phere,
01:39or are I just taking three complete words
01:41and mushed them together?
01:42In the dental world.
01:43So I try to make, like, light-hearted,
01:46positive content surrounding dentistry,
01:48which isn't always seen in the best light.
01:50Well, it's great to have you all with us.
01:52Welcome to the show.
01:53Let's play Time is Money.
01:59In front of each of you is your money timer,
02:02an hourglass that we're filling with cash
02:04that you could take home.
02:06For round one, you're going to start with £1,000.
02:09So let's top up those timers.
02:13But in this game, time is money.
02:17So the trick is keeping hold of it.
02:20If you can't get a question right,
02:22your money will count down coin by coin.
02:25And if you're out of money,
02:26your time in the game is up.
02:29Now, our first set of questions
02:31is all about fashion designers.
02:36Kev, I'm going to have to come to you there.
02:39I saw that little bit of a giggle.
02:41Oh, is that because you love the fashion designers?
02:44Er, no.
02:45This shirt's from TikTok shops
02:47and I have no idea who made it.
02:50OK, I was going to say,
02:51I'm not sure that might come up as an answer
02:53in the round TikTok shop as a top fashion designer,
02:56but, you know, you never know.
02:57Maybe.
02:58But listen, I'm going to give you the surname
02:59of a world-famous fashion designer
03:02along with their year of birth.
03:05Please tell me their first name.
03:08So we'll accept either the name
03:09that they are best known by
03:11or the name that they were given at birth.
03:14There are up to 10 questions
03:15to answer in each category.
03:17This first question is crucial.
03:20The player who gives me the right answer
03:22will stop their money timer
03:23from counting down for now.
03:26So get ready on your buzzers.
03:28Here is your first question.
03:32Westwood, 1941.
03:34Mags.
03:35Vivian.
03:35Is correct.
03:37So, Mags, you're safe for now.
03:40The rest of you,
03:41your timers are about to start counting down
03:44at a rate of £10 a second.
03:46You must buzz in correctly
03:48to stop your timer,
03:49but an incorrect answer
03:50costs £50.
03:53Mags,
03:54if you buzz in before the others
03:55with a right answer,
03:56you will speed up their timers,
03:58potentially sending them
03:59out of the game sooner.
04:01But an incorrect answer
04:02will start your own timer.
04:05Are you all ready?
04:07Start the timers.
04:09Hilfiger, 1951.
04:10Darren.

05:01And that's the end of the category.
05:04You will be relieved to hear, Kev.
05:06What happened there, Kev?
05:09I told you I didn't know any.
05:11And then I thought I had to give one answer and then I didn't get it.
05:16I mean, it was worth a try.
05:18For sure.
05:18How does it feel, though, watching your timer count down like that?
05:22Yeah, especially next to Mags, where Kev's just, like, got four digits there.
05:26And lovely Darren at the end here, thinking, oh, I'll speed that timer up.
05:32I'm smelling a bit of blood.
05:33I'm going to send Kev home.
05:35Was that the plan, Darren?
05:36Look at this face.
05:37No, never.
05:40You want to watch him, Kev?
05:41Yeah.
05:43So, it's time for our next set of questions.
05:45And they are all about UK stadiums.
05:49OK?
05:50So, I'm going to give you the name of a UK stadium with a capacity of over 10,000.
05:56Please tell me the city that it's in.
06:00You are all on the buzzers.
06:02Good luck is your first question.
06:06Wembley Stadium.
06:08Darren.
06:08London.

06:09So, Darren, you're safe for now.
06:13You are all back on the buzzers.
06:15Let's start the timers.
06:17Hamden Park.

07:07Yeah.
07:09Is it stressful when that's counting down?
07:11Yeah.
07:12Yeah.
07:12I didn't have that in the first round.
07:14No.
07:15You didn't get experience that at all.
07:16How things can change from one question to the next.
07:20A lot.
07:20And Harrison, you were quick on the buzzer there.
07:24Well, I only know the football stadiums, really.
07:26And there were a few in there that was a bit, like, the Principality Stadium.
07:29I thought it was Cardiff, but it wasn't 100%, so I didn't risk it.
07:34I saw Newcastle come up and I thought, please, guys, don't let me down.
07:38And then when Sunderland came up, I thought, where's our northern loving people?
07:42Just across the water.
07:44Right.
07:44Our next set of questions is all about colourful songs.
07:51I will give you the title of a UK hit single with a colour in the title.
07:55I'd like you to tell me the artist or band who had a top 40 hit with the song in the year mentioned.
08:03This is according to the official charts website.
08:07Everybody feeling good about the music knowledge?
08:11No, Darren, not a strong one for you?
08:13No.
08:14We'll see.
08:15We'll see.
08:16Out there in the lead at the moment.
08:18It's a good level.
08:19The playing field is a little bit.
08:20No.
08:20OK.
08:21You're all on the buzzer.
08:22Here's the first question.
08:25Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road, 1973.
08:30Harrison.
08:30Allison John.

08:33So, Harrison, you're safer now.

09:02Green, green grass of...
09:03Home.
09:06I was going to say the green, green grass of home, 1966.
09:09Kev, would you have known that by any chance?
09:11I didn't know any of them.
09:13Oh, Kev.
09:14It's Tom Jones.
09:16Tough round.
09:18Really tough round.
09:20That's the game.
09:21That is the game, Kev.
09:22You just never know what questions are going to come out.
09:24And unfortunately, they just haven't gone your way this round.
09:27They really haven't.
09:28But you've been a great contestant.
09:30Thank you for coming along today.
09:31But unfortunately, we're going to have to say goodbye.
09:36Kev, you're out of time and you're out of money.
09:38But the rest of you, well done on making it through to the next round.
09:48Exciting.
09:49Oh, Darren, I know you were a little bit nervous about that last question.
09:52Yeah.
09:52Thankfully, it wasn't Kev's strong point.
09:54No.
09:55So things worked out all right for you.
09:56Yes.
09:57Yes.
09:57And Max was helping along, trying to get him out the door a little bit sooner.
10:00Yeah.
10:01Yeah.
10:01We've got to keep an eye on her.
10:03You've definitely got to keep an eye on her.
10:05She's wanting to watch it, guys.
10:06I definitely think so.
10:07Sorry.
10:07Lily.
10:08It was a tight first round.
10:10It was.
10:11It was.
10:11My children are not going to let me forget about not knowing Glasgow.
10:15Of course, because you're from Glasgow.
10:17Yes, I live there.
10:19I didn't want to say anything.
10:20But yes, you're right.
10:21They're probably not going to let you forget that.
10:23Harrison, great round again.
10:25Great round.
10:26Must be pleased with that performance.
10:27Well, I started off slow, but yeah, it was all right in the end.
10:31Well, the good thing is, you've all made it through to round two.
10:34We've all got the hang now of getting our brain to connect with our hands,
10:37because you think it's just about answering the questions.
10:39It's not.
10:40It's about being fast enough on the buzzer to beat your opponents to it.
10:43Well, the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final for you
10:47if you make it there.
10:49Let's see what you've saved.
10:50Harrison.
10:51Off to a great start, £480.
10:55Darren, £510.
10:57Cracking start.
10:59Lily, £190 there.
11:00Not too bad.
11:02And Mags, £450.
11:04Great first round.
11:05Well done.
11:06Let's save that money for later.
11:11It's now time for round two.
11:14This time, there's more cash to play with.
11:16In this round, it's £1,250.
11:19Top up the timers.
11:26As this is round two, you don't just get one clue to the answer.
11:30You're going to get two.
11:32Our first set of questions is about...
11:34International Airports.
11:37So, I'm going to give you the official three-letter IATA code of an international airport,
11:43followed by the country that it's in.
11:46Please tell me the city that features in the airport's name.
11:49The IATA code is the unique three letters that I use to identify an airport.
11:55It's what people flying there would see on their luggage tags or boarding passes.
12:00It's usually linked to the airport's name in English.
12:02Now, Darren, you're our artistic travelling fundraiser.
12:09How does this category sound to you?
12:11Well, you can never tell.
12:12It sounds good, but who really takes notice of all the airport codes?
12:19So...
12:20Are you kidding?
12:21That's my favourite bit.
12:22Oh, is it?
12:22I'm always like, oh, do I know that one?
12:26Do I know that one?
12:26Oh, I know that.
12:27That's a tough one.
12:28Yeah, I'm proud of my airport code knowledge.
12:30Oh, I'm looking at the seat number.
12:36Well, time is money.
12:38So, here is your first question.
12:42LAX, United States.
12:43Harrison.
12:44Los Angeles.
12:45Is correct.
12:46So, Harrison, once again, you're safe for now.
12:50You are all back on the buses.
12:52Let's start the timers.
12:57Darren.
12:58Cape Town.
12:58Is correct.
13:00BCN.
13:01Spain.
13:02Mags.
13:03Barcelona.
13:04Is correct.
13:06IST.
13:06Turkey.
13:08Lily.
13:09Istanbul.
13:10Is correct.
13:13Well, Darren, any advantage you were going to have then is quickly done.
13:17I know.
13:18Well, it's very even at the moment, but who will fall to first?
13:22Find out after the break.
13:34Welcome back to Time Is Money, where Harrison, Darren, Lily and Mags are racing on the buzzers
13:40to save their cash.
13:41Well, that was pretty even there at the beginning.
13:45Shall we see what our next question is?
13:48Our next set of questions is about literary characters.
13:52So, I'm going to give you two fictional characters created by the same author.
13:57Please tell me the name of the author who created them.
14:01How's your literary knowledge, Harrison?
14:05It's all right.
14:06All right?
14:07Yeah.
14:08I can't work out if that's, uh, I'm a little bit nervous or I'm not giving anything away.
14:12I'm so nervous.
14:13Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
14:15Right, you're all on the buzzer.
14:17Good luck.
14:18Here's your first question.
14:19Dr. John Watson and Sherlock Holmes.
14:25Darren.
14:26Arthur Conan Doyle.
14:27It's correct.
14:29There you go.
14:30Good timing.
14:31So, Darren, you're safer now.
14:34You're all back on the buzzers.
14:36Start the timers.
14:37Jonathan Harker and Count Dracula.
14:42Darren.

15:32Correct.
15:33Speed up the timers.
15:34Winston Smith and Big Brother.
15:37Too slow.
15:38It's George Orwell.
15:39And that is the end of the category.
15:41You girls will be thrilled to hear.
15:44Yes.
15:44Oh.
15:45Yes.
15:46Oh, not quite your round there, Lily.
15:49Tough one.
15:50It was.
15:50It was tough.
15:51Yeah.
15:52Darren, you were dominating that buzzer there.
15:55I don't know how.
15:55I think it was just the luck of the draw.
15:57I could see each time it was a think, think, think, think, think.
16:00Yes, I'll go for it.
16:01Think, think, think, think.
16:02Yes, I'll try this one again.
16:04Were you a bit nervous about maybe buzzing in with a wrong answer and restarting your timer?
16:08Absolutely.
16:08Yeah.
16:09I was like, right, I'm safe now.
16:10But, yeah, I need to be sure.
16:12I'm safe now.
16:13But I could send Pooh Lily out the back.
16:15Yeah.
16:16How did it feel, Lily, hearing your timer speed up?
16:18I just couldn't keep my eyes off it.
16:20Oh, my goodness.
16:22It's stressful, isn't it?
16:23Well, do you know what?
16:24It's been and come and gone and went.
16:26That's the end of that one.
16:27OK?
16:27We don't need to think about it anymore.
16:29Because our next set of questions is all about...
16:31Darren, I can't decide if that's a, oh, no, or if that's a, oh.
16:42I think it's an, oh, no.
16:43Oh, OK.
16:45And, Mags, what was that response?
16:47I'm glad Lily's got lower than me because I'm not going to do well.
16:51Harrison, how's your US presidential knowledge?
16:55All right.
16:57How old did you say you were, Harrison?
17:00Um, 18.
17:00How have you got so much knowledge for just an 18-year-old?
17:05Oh, yeah, I just pick up random facts
17:08that I'm probably never going to use in my life.
17:10Well, you're using them now.
17:11Yeah.
17:12So it's worked out.
17:13Right.
17:14Let me tell you more.
17:15I'm going to give you the year in which someone first assumed
17:18the office of president in the United States,
17:20followed by their initials.
17:22I'd like you to give me the first name and surname of each president.
17:26We are looking for names used when they were president.
17:32You're all on the buzzer.
17:33This first question is the all-important one.
17:36Lily or Mags, this would make a massive difference
17:38in how this round goes for you if you get this one, OK?
17:42Here's your first question.
17:4319.81 and R.R.
17:48Harrison.
17:52Too slow, it's Ronald Reagan,
17:54which means your timer will start counting down.
17:58The rest of you, this next question is just for you.
18:0018.61 and A.L.
18:04Darren.
18:05Abraham Lincoln.
18:06Abraham Lincoln is correct.
18:08So it means your timer will not start counting down.
18:12Darren, you're safe for now.
18:14You're all back on the buzzers.
18:16Let's start the timers.
18:1819.23 and C.C.

18:452021 and JB.
18:48Lily.
18:49Josh Bush.
18:50Incorrect, it's Joe Biden.
18:54Joe Biden in 2021, just recently there, Lily.
18:58Oh, well, you had to go for it.
19:00You had nothing to lose.
19:01You did the right thing in buzzing in and having a good go.
19:05Now, have you enjoyed it, though?
19:06I have.
19:07I've really enjoyed it.
19:08Thank you very much.
19:08Yep.
19:09But unfortunately, we're going to have to say goodbye.
19:13Lily, you're out of time and you're out of money.
19:16But the rest of you, well done on making it through to the next round.
19:27Darren, that was a brilliant round for you.
19:29You only lost 50 pounds.
19:30Only because I got in there quite quick.
19:32Oh, that's the trick, though, Darren.
19:34Time is money, you see.
19:35Yep.
19:36Got to get straight in there.
19:37How's that feel, Mags, when you're on the receiving end of it and he's trying to send you home?
19:42Yeah, it's getting a bit close to the wire there.
19:43I don't like it.
19:44That was a little bit close to the wire.
19:46It was, but live to see another day.
19:48Yeah.
19:49It's not over till the last coin drops.
19:51And Harrison, you're continuing to dominate.
19:54I think I'm doing all right for myself.
19:56I think you are indeed.
19:57You should be pleased.
19:58I wasn't a strong cat's group, but I tried.
20:00Well, it worked out all right.
20:02And the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final for you if you make it there.
20:07Let's see what you've saved.
20:10Harrison, another solid round there, £820.
20:15Darren, stonking round, £1,200.
20:19Brilliant.
20:20And Mags, £200 there, but you're still here.
20:23Let's save all that money for later.
20:28It's now time for round three.
20:31And this time you're starting with £1,500 in your timers.
20:35Let's top up those timers.
20:41This time, because it's round three, we're giving you three clues to each answer.
20:47But as before, the cash countdown will be even faster.
20:50Our first set of questions is about famous people.
20:58So I'm going to give you the name of three famous people born in the last hundred years.
21:03Please give the decade that all of these people were born in.
21:07The same decade may be an answer more than once.
21:11Harrison, you were nodding away there.
21:13How do you feel about this?
21:14Very confident.
21:14Very confident.
21:15Very confident.
21:16That's fighting.
21:17I love the confidence.
21:19I really do.
21:20Darren, is that off-putting?
21:22A little bit, yeah.
21:23Yeah.
21:23Exactly.
21:24He's a dark horse.
21:25Oh, he's the one to beat.
21:27OK, well, time is money.
21:29Here's your first question.
21:30Harper, Seven, Beckham, Blue, Ivy, Carter, and Prince George.
21:39Mags.
21:402010s.

21:48Leonardo DiCaprio, Olivia Colman, Harrison.
21:521970s.

22:25Sting, Denzel Washington, and Tony Blair.
22:30Mags.
22:311950s.
22:31Is correct.

22:37Too slow.
22:38It's the 1980s.
22:40Barack Obama, Tom Cruise, and Liz Hurley.
22:43Darren.

22:56It's the 1930s.
22:57But that is the end of the category.
23:01You will be relieved to hear, Darren.
23:03Yes, very.
23:03Yes.
23:04Very relieved to hear.
23:06Mags.
23:07I've got to come to you.
23:08You were in.
23:09You were out.
23:09Were you feeling a little bit confident and thinking,
23:12ha-ha, Darren hasn't got this one?
23:14I'm going to go for it.
23:15I was trying to go for, like, are they similar age to me?
23:19So, like, which side of me do they sit, basically?
23:22Well, I would say it was a good strategy,
23:24but it didn't quite work all the time.
23:25No, it didn't.
23:25Not all the time.
23:27Admittedly, some famous people don't always look their age.
23:30True.
23:32Darren, it's not over till the last coin drops.
23:34Exactly.
23:35I'm sure you're going to have a chance to get your own back on these two.
23:37I best do.
23:38Yes.
23:39Our next category is rom-com characters.
23:44I'm going to give you the name of a character in a romantic comedy film,
23:48the title of the film,
23:50and the first name of the actor or actress who played the character.
23:55Please give me their surname.
23:57You're all on the buzzer.
23:58Here is your first question.
24:00Sharon Horowitz, Clueless, and Alicia.
24:07Too slow, it's Silverstone.
24:10Billy Mac, Love Actually, and Bill...
24:14Darren.
24:15Nighy.
24:16He's correct.
24:18So, Darren.
24:20You needed that.
24:21I did.
24:23He's safe for now.
24:25You're all back on the buzzers.
24:27Let's start the timers.
24:28Amanda Woods, The Holiday, and Cameron.
24:32Darren.
24:32Diaz.
24:33Correct.
24:34Speed up the timers.

24:40Anna Scott, Notting Hill, and Julia.
24:43Harrison.
24:44Roberts.
24:44That's correct.
24:47Darren, I was hoping that might have been your chance
24:49to get in there with a few and speed the timers up,
24:52level the playing field.
24:54No, just too fast.
24:55I know.
24:55Just too fast.
24:58OK.
24:59Our next set of questions is about four-letter words.
25:03I will give you two words that can both go in front
25:05of the same four-letter word to make two well-known terms
25:09that can be found in the Chambers Dictionary,
25:12which is their 21st century dictionary available online.
25:15I will also give you the initial letter of the answer.
25:19Please give me the four-letter word that can come after each
25:22of those two things.
25:23For example, if I said the words credit and wild and gave you
25:28the letter C, I would be looking for the word card.
25:32You're all on the buzzer.
25:34Here's that all-important first question.
25:43Harrison.
25:43Heat's wave.
25:44Yes, I'll accept wave.
25:48So, Harrison, you're safe for now.
25:51You are all on the buzzers.
25:53Start the timers.
25:54Crime and play.
25:56T.
25:58Darren.
25:59Time.
25:59It's correct.
26:01Reading and elbow.
26:03R.
26:05Too slow.
26:06It's room.
26:07Family and Christmas.
26:08T.
26:09Mags.
26:10Time.
26:11Incorrect.
26:12It's tree.
26:13News.
26:1350 pounds.
26:14Soldiering and corrugated.
26:16I.
26:17Darren.
26:18Iron.
26:18Correct.
26:19Speed up the timer.
26:20Hot and beauty.
26:21S.
26:23Too slow.
26:24It's spot.
26:26Whistle and bus.
26:27S.
26:28Mags.
26:29Stop.
26:30Stop is correct.
26:35Oh, well done.
26:37You've all stopped your timers.
26:39And I would say that's leveled things out
26:41a little bit, but it has between you two.
26:43You are still dominating.
26:45It's a good round for you, Harrison.
26:47Really good round.
26:49And Mags, you lost quite a bit of money there.
26:51How did it feel watching the money time account down?
26:54Yeah, I don't want it to go below Darren,
26:57because then I know I'm probably next out.
26:59And Mags, you gave me time for family and Christmas.
27:04Unfortunately, neither of those terms,
27:06family time and Christmas time,
27:08are in the Chambers Dictionary online.
27:10So, unlucky, I'm afraid.
27:12Our next set of questions is all about...
27:15Mags, not your strong point.
27:23So-so.
27:24So-so.
27:25Yeah.
27:26Darren, any advance on so-so?
27:29I don't know.
27:30Yeah, not sure.
27:32I tell you who is looking happy.
27:33Harrison.
27:35Ho-ho-ho-ho!
27:36OK, I'm going to give you three clues
27:39to the winners of the men's UEFA Champions League
27:42or the European Cup, as it was previously known.
27:45I'll give you the year of the final,
27:47the runner-up,
27:48and the initial or initials of the winning team.
27:51Please give me the name of the winning team.
27:54You're all on the buzzer.
27:56Here's your first question.
27:572005, AC Milan, Harrison?
28:02Liverpool.
28:03That's correct.
28:05OK, so, Harrison, you're safe for now.
28:09So, Mags, is Harrison, like,
28:11the most terrifying 18-year-old you've ever met?
28:13Yes.
28:14Yeah, I think he is the most terrifying 18-year-old
28:16I've ever met as well.
28:17And he's witty.
28:18Don't forget he's witty as well,
28:20our witty weightlifting power student.
28:21LAUGHTER
28:23You're all back on the buzzers.
28:27Let's start the timers.

29:01Too slow, it's Nottingham Forest.
29:041996, Ajax and J.
29:07Harrison.
29:08Juventus.
29:08It's correct.
29:12Oh!
29:15I was hoping one of you two might have snuck in there,
29:20but he just wasn't giving you an inch.
29:23Darren and Mags, don't believe it.
29:26You've run out of money at the exact same time,
29:29which means we need a tie-break question.
29:32If you buzz in first and answer correctly,
29:35you'll go through to the next round.
29:37But if you buzz in and get it wrong,
29:40you'll go home empty-handed.
29:41As always, speed is everything.
29:46Mags, how do you feel going up against Darren here?
29:50Not great, and I'm really annoyed because I'm a Celtic fan.
29:53Oh, Mags!
29:53And I didn't buzz in to get it right.
29:55Oh!
29:56Darren, she's been a formidable player down there, hasn't she?
30:00She really has, actually.
30:01Feeling nervous?
30:02Yes, absolutely.
30:04Darren and Mags, you're both on the buzzers.
30:08Here is your tie-break question.
30:13One Love is the subtitle of the 2024 film
30:16which focuses on the life and music of which reggae star?
30:21Darren.
30:23Oh, my God, I can see him.
30:25Too slow.
30:27It's Bob Marley.
30:29So, Darren, you took a risk...
30:32Yep.
30:32..but it hasn't paid off, unfortunately.
30:34But, Darren, you've been a fantastic player.
30:37What's it felt like going up against these two?
30:39It's been daunting at times, but it's been a lot of fun as well.
30:43Darren, you've been brilliant and we've loved having you on the show,
30:46but, unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye.
30:51Darren, you're out of time and you're out of money.
31:00But Mags and Harrison means we have our two players for the head-to-head.
31:04Mags, that could not have been closer for you,
31:08but you've managed to scrape through
31:10and you're going to be up against Harrison in the head-to-head.
31:13How's that feel?
31:14Nervous.
31:15Nervous.
31:17Still looks cool as a cucumber.
31:19Are you faced by anything, Harrison?
31:20Not really.
31:21So, the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final for you
31:25if you make it there.
31:27So, let's see what you've saved.
31:29Harrison, wow.
31:31£1,250, a great round.
31:34Mags, you've not saved any money in that round,
31:37but the important thing is you're still here.
31:39So, let's save that money for later.
31:41We're down to two and the competition is really hotting up.
31:48Only one can make it to our final.
31:50Don't go anywhere.
31:53APPLAUSE
31:54Welcome back.
32:03This is Time Is Money.
32:05It's been a brutal game so far
32:07and we're left with just two players.
32:11Harrison and Mags.
32:13Let's come to you first, Mags.
32:14How are you feeling?
32:16Nervous.
32:17Yeah, I think I would be if I was going up against this one.
32:19Yeah.
32:20Yeah.
32:20And Harrison, you're our witty powerlifting student.
32:25What are you studying?
32:26Mathematics, business and sports science.
32:29That is a lot of knowledge for a sixth form student.
32:32I try my best.
32:33Well, you're best working out well in this game.
32:36So, it's time for the head-to-head.
32:39We're going to top up the timers,
32:40this time with £1,750.
32:45Let's top up those timers.
32:50So, this head-to-head is all about staying in control
32:54as your opponent's money drains away.
32:56I'm going to ask you questions on a particular category
32:59which will change every five questions.
33:02Answer correctly and your opponent's timer will start to count down.
33:07If you keep buzzing in and answering correctly,
33:10then your opponent's timer will speed up.
33:13But if you buzz in and get one wrong,
33:15or if your opponent buzzes in with a right answer,
33:18then their timer will stop and yours will start instead.
33:20Your first set of questions start...
33:25You're both on the buzzers.
33:29Here is your first question.
33:33Which famous Billy first played Rose Tyler in the TV Harrison?
33:37Billy Piper.
33:38..is correct.
33:39I was going to say first played Rose Tyler
33:43in the TV series Doctor Who between 2005 and 2006.
33:48It was Billy Piper.
33:50But you didn't even need all of that.
33:52I mean, time's money.
33:53You've got to be quick on that buzzer, haven't you?
33:55So, Harrison, you answered correctly,
33:57so your timer is safe for now.
34:01You're both back on the buzzer.
34:03Start the timer.

36:48Oh, Max.
36:52South America not your category.
36:53No, I was waiting for it to change.
36:56If it makes you feel any better,
36:57I don't think it was Harrison's category either.
36:59Either that or it was just playing it cool
37:01and thought he wouldn't try and speed you up anymore.
37:03What was it like going up against Harrison in that head-to-head?
37:07I could see my money going down
37:08and he's just so strong with his knowledge
37:12that I didn't have a chance.
37:15You put up a good fight, though.
37:16I mean, it was backwards and forwards a few times,
37:19but once he was onto a roll,
37:20I guess once that panic sets in as well
37:22and you're just seeing it speed up and speed up
37:24and, you know, he's the king of the speed straight in there.
37:27Mags, you've had a brilliant game, though.
37:29You've been a strong player all the way through
37:32from that very first round.
37:33You were really close to the final,
37:35but unfortunately, we're going to have to say goodbye.
37:40Mags, you're out of time and you're out of money.
37:47Our youngest contestant is the last one remaining.
37:50Join me after the break
37:51as Harrison plays to win all of the cash he's saved
37:54if he can stop all of the money timers.
38:08Welcome back to Time Is Money,
38:10where Harrison is about to take on his biggest challenge yet.
38:15Congratulations, Harrison.
38:16Well, you've dominated from the very first moment
38:19you set foot in here
38:20and I think we were all expecting to see you at this point,
38:23but how does it feel?
38:25Quite overwhelming, to be honest.
38:26I didn't really expect me to get this far,
38:30but I've done well. I'm proud of myself.
38:33You should be.
38:34Honestly, you really should be, Harrison.
38:36I just don't understand how someone
38:37who has only been on this earth for 18 years
38:39has that much knowledge fitted into their brain.
38:42It's very impressive.
38:44So now's your chance to win the money
38:46that you've saved earlier in the game.
38:48Let's bring back your previous money timers.
38:51In round one, you saved £480.
38:56In round two, that was up to £820.
39:01We got stronger and stronger.
39:02In round three, it was £1,250.
39:05And in that head-to-head, you've saved another £1,250.
39:12Now, in our final, time really is money.
39:15And your money timers are about to start counting down simultaneously.
39:19If any of them hit zero, you'll be going home with nothing.
39:23But before you take this on,
39:26you've got the chance to top up your timers one last time
39:29with up to £2,000.
39:33There are five questions and five chances to top up your timers.
39:38Well, get one wrong, and your highest timer will lock.
39:42Are you ready?
39:43Yeah.
39:44Let's play.

40:59And we've got some big amounts going on in them other timers.
41:04If you win, what are you going to spend the money on?
41:06I'll probably just sit on it, to be honest.
41:08I feel like now in my life is the most crucial point
41:11to save my money as much as I can,
41:13because I don't have any outgoings.
41:15You know, the more I save now, the easier it will be on later in life.

41:29to try and find that middle way.
41:33Oh, good luck with that.

41:39Probably my mum.
41:40Yeah.
41:41And my partner.
41:43Do you think they'll be super proud?
41:44Oh, definitely.
41:45Yeah.
41:46If I was your mum, I'd be super proud right now.
41:48It's time for the final.
41:50Your timers are about to start counting down simultaneously.
41:55You must take on your timers one by one
41:57by answering a question correctly to stop them.
42:00But get one wrong,
42:01and the most recently stopped timer will restart.
42:04If you can stop all four timers before any of them hit zero,
42:08then you will take home whatever money remains.
42:12But if any of them hit zero,
42:13the game will end and you will leave with nothing.
42:17And just to warn you,
42:18the timers will speed up every 30 seconds.
42:22So, Harrison, which timer would you like to start at?
42:26I'd like to start at number one, please.
42:28Timer number one.
42:29Are you ready?

44:21I had absolutely nothing.
44:23I can't believe that.
44:25Harrison, you've been such a strong player all the way through,
44:29and that last round just was a killer.
44:34Oh!
44:35I feel for you.
44:36My heart was in my mouth all the way through there.
44:39You've done well to keep your nerve and make it through this far.
