00:23Welcome to Timers 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.
00:36Let'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 Will, and I'm a curious educational animator.
00:48I'm Adam, a transport record breaker.
00:51I'm Fiona, I'm an energetic travelling cricketer.
00:54I'm Anne, I'm a poker feast gin enthusiast.
00:57I'm Michael, and I'm a marathon running solicitor.
01:00Wow, well, what a line-up we've got in today.
01:03Crikey, Anne, I'm going to have to come to you first.
01:06Gin enthusiast, woman after my own heart.
01:09Tell me more.
01:10Well, I like lots of gins,
01:11and I like to go and see lots of gin distilleries,
01:14and I like to have a taste when I'm there.
01:17And obviously, the more flavourful, the better.
01:19So have you been to any exotic places visiting gin distilleries?
01:23I think the most exotic might be in Hampshire, near Winchester.
01:26I mean, Hampshire's pretty exotic as far as they go.
01:29I was hoping that might help you in the geography rounds.
01:31Oh, possibly. Possibly a good idea.
01:33You never know, you never know.
01:35Fiona, I've got to ask you about the cricket.
01:37Are you a batwoman or a baller?
01:39I do both.
01:40Oh, a bit of an all-rounder.
01:41Bit of an opener for both.
01:42I used to be president of the ladies' cricket club at university.
01:46Oh, fantastic.
01:47Yeah, I was rubbish at the game,
01:48but because I was president, I ran it like a business,
01:50so I always made the top 11.
01:52Yes, yes.
01:53And Michael, marathon running.
01:55Soon, Sarah. My first one is in two days' time.
01:58Your first one's in two days' time.
02:00Tell me, how have you been preparing?
02:02For about six months. I'm confident I'll finish.
02:04I'm not sure how quickly.
02:05Hey, it's not about the speed.
02:07It's about getting over the line.
02:08Well, best of luck. That's super exciting.
02:10What a line-up in today.
02:12Let's play Time Is Money.
02:17In front of each of you is your money timer,
02:20an hourglass that we're filling with cash
02:22that you could take home.
02:24For round one, you're going to start with £1,000.
02:27Top up the timers.
02:32But in this game, time is money,
02:34so the trick is keeping hold of it.
02:36If you can't get a question right,
02:38your money will count down coin by coin.
02:41And if you run out of money, your time in the game is up.
02:45Now, our first set of questions is all about...
02:48Disney villains.
02:52Will, I saw the sharp intake of breath there.
02:55Not your sort of category?
02:57Well, I'm an animator, so it should be.
02:59You're right, it should be.
03:00It's more that the pressure's now on my shoulders to do well.
03:03Otherwise, I might have to hand him my card as an animator.
03:06Well, let me explain a bit more.
03:08I'm going to give you the name of a villain
03:10who was a main character in a major animated Disney film.
03:14You need to tell me which film they first appeared in.
03:17You will also hear the year of the film's release.
03:20There are up to ten questions to answer in each category.
03:24This first question is crucial.
03:27The player who gives me the right answer
03:29will stop their money timer from counting down for now.
03:32So, get ready on your buzzers.
03:34Here's your first question.
03:35Cruella de Vil, 19, Michael.
03:41101 Dalmatians.
03:42Just in time there, Michael.
03:44It is indeed 101 Dalmatians.
03:46So, Michael, you are safe for now.
03:49The rest of you, your timers are going to start counting down
03:52at a rate of £10 a second.
03:54You must buzz in correctly to stop your timer,
03:57but an incorrect answer costs £50.
04:00Michael, if you buzz in before the others with a right answer,
04:04you will speed up their timers,
04:06potentially sending them out of the game sooner.
04:08But an incorrect answer will start your own timer.
04:11Are you ready?
04:13Start the timers.
04:15Maleficent, 1950, Will.
04:17Cinderella.
04:18Incorrect, it's sleeping beauty.
04:19Lose £50.
04:21Jafar, 1992, Will.
04:23Erm, Aladdin.
04:24Correct.
04:25Tekar, 2016.
04:30Too slow, it's Moana.
04:321994, Will.
04:34Lion King.
04:35Correct.
04:36Speed up the timers.
04:37Claude Frollo, 1996.
04:40Adam.
04:41Hunchback of Notre Dame.
04:42Is correct.
04:43Prince Hans, 2013.
04:44Will.
04:45Frozen.
04:46Correct.
04:47Speed up the timers.
04:48Captain Hop, 1953.
04:49Will.
04:50Pizza Pan.
04:51Correct.
04:52Speed up the timers.
04:53Ann.
04:54Oh.
04:55No, sorry.
04:56Going slower to the Jungle Book.
04:57Please £50.
04:58Hades, 1997.
04:59Will.
05:00Hercules.
05:01Is correct.
05:02And that is the end of that category.
05:05Thank goodness, Ann and Fiona.
05:08Did you know some of those answers?
05:10Not really.
05:11Not really?
05:12Well, at least you're honest, Fiona.
05:14I was trying to work out if you knew them but just couldn't get looking with Will here slap happy on the buzzer or if you didn't have a clue.
05:22So, Ann, talk me through it.
05:24I knew a couple of them and when it came to the Jungle Book I just couldn't get it on my tongue quick enough.
05:29It's the pressure, Ann.
05:30It feels like your heart is beating as fast as that.
05:33I can imagine.
05:34Will, we've got to come to you though.
05:36You were ruthless there.
05:38Were you thinking, I'm probably not going to get a question that is so well suited to me so I'm going to take my moment and try and send them out?
05:45Well, I was gutted that Michael beat me to the very first answer.
05:49So, I was sort of now determined more than ever to turn everything back to me.
05:53Well, you did a fantastic job.
05:55You really did.
05:56So, our next set of questions is all about...
06:00Novels.
06:02Fiona, are you a little bit better on your books than you were on Disney?
06:05Definitely.
06:06Oh, that's a good start. How about you, Ann?
06:09Possibly. Depends. Just depends.
06:11Well, I'm going to give you the title of a famous novel.
06:14I would like you to name the author.
06:16Now, we've seen how important this first question is.
06:19You get this right and your money won't start to count down.
06:22You are all on the buzzer.
06:24Here's your first question.
06:27Oliver Twist.
06:29Will.
06:30Charles Dickens.
06:31Correct.
06:33So, Will, you're safe for now.
06:36You are all back on the buzzers.
06:38Let's start the timers.
06:39Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
06:41Will.
06:42Lewis Carroll.
06:43Correct. Speed up the timers.
06:44Pride and Prejudice.
06:45Will.
06:46Jane Austen.
06:47Correct. Speed up the timers.
06:48Black Beauty.
06:49Ann.
06:50I froze it again.
06:53Too slow.
06:54It's Hannah Sewell.
06:55Normal people.
06:58Will.
06:59Sarah Mooney.
07:00Is incorrect.
07:01It's Sally Rooney.
07:03The Great Gatsby.
07:04Will.
07:05F Scott Fitzgerald.
07:06Correct.
07:07White teeth.
07:08I didn't want to be the first.
07:09Oh.
07:10That is such a shame, Ann.
07:11That was a really tough round and it really doesn't help that Will over here is happy on that buzzer.
07:25Yeah.
07:26And is seeing their chance to try and send you out the game sooner.
07:30What do you make of their performance?
07:32Well, I mean, everybody's quick, aren't they?
07:34But it's tense.
07:36It's really tense.
07:37It really is.
07:38And I think in that moment when you're seeing the counter just getting faster and faster and faster,
07:43it just piles that pressure on, doesn't it?
07:45It really does.
07:46You're right.
07:47Well, Ann, you've put a brilliant fight up, but I'm sad to say you're out of time.
07:53So we're going to have to say goodbye.
07:56Ann, you're out of time and you're out of money.
08:04To the rest of you, well done for making it through to the next round.
08:09Well, currently the one to beat.
08:12Are you determined to take these lot out?
08:15I mean, when you put it like that, it sounds quite harsh, but I'm determined to get to the final.
08:21Let's put it that way.
08:22OK.
08:23That's a good way to kind of cut it.
08:25Adam, tell me what it feels like when that timer is starting to speed up.
08:30Terrible.
08:32There's no other words for it.
08:34It's just terrible.
08:35It's a stressful moment, isn't it?
08:37And you think you know the answer and you just can't get in there quick enough because Will's all over it.
08:41Well, the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final for you if you make it there.
08:46Let's see what you've all saved.
08:48Will, you've had a great first round.
08:50£800 saved there.
08:52Well done.
08:53Adam, £370.
08:55That's not a bad start.
08:56Fiona, £100, but you're still here to look for the positives.
09:00And, Michael, £640 is a brilliant start to the game.
09:04Let's save that money for later.
09:06It's now time for round two.
09:12This time, there's more cash to play with.
09:15In this round, it's £1,250.
09:19Top up those timers.
09:24As this is round two, you don't just get one clue to the answer, you're going to get two.
09:29Our first set of questions is all about number ones.
09:35I'm going to give you the name of two acts who have had a number one single with the same song.
09:40I want you to give me the title of the song that was number one for both of these acts.
09:45To be clear, these are different versions of the same song rather than two completely different tunes with the same title.
09:52How's your music knowledge, Will?
09:54Not as good as my animation knowledge, unfortunately.
09:57Does that make the rest of you feel a little bit relieved?
10:00No.
10:03Nice to be honest, Fiona. How's your music knowledge?
10:06Very good. If we're talking 80s, 90s, noughties, we're all right.
10:09But anything more recent, then oops.
10:13Will, what year were you born in?
10:1595.
10:16Might be another chance.
10:18Time is money, so here's your first question.
10:24Gareth Gate and the Righteous Brothers.
10:26Yes.
10:27Will.
10:28Um...
10:29Uh...
10:30Too slow.
10:31It's Unchained Melody.
10:33So, Will, your timer will be counting down.
10:37The rest of you, here is your next question.
10:41BGs and steps.
10:44Adam.
10:45Gadgety.
10:46Is correct.
10:48So, Adam, that means you're safe for now.
10:52You are all back on the buzzes.
10:55Start the timers.
10:56Norman Greenbaum and doctor and the medics.
11:01Too slow, it's spirit in the sky.
11:04The bangles, atomic kitten.
11:06Michael.
11:07Eternal flame.
11:08Correct.
11:09Rosemary Clooney, Sheik and Stephens.
11:12Will.
11:13Merry Christmas, everyone.
11:14Incorrect.
11:15This old house.
11:16Lose £50.
11:17Sonny and Cher, UB4B featuring Adam.
11:19I got you, babe.
11:20Correct.
11:21Speed up the timers.
11:22Billy Joel, Westlife.
11:24Will.
11:25Uptown Girl.
11:26Correct.
11:27Joel Cocker and Wet Wet Wet.
11:30Michael.
11:31Lovers all around.
11:32Incorrect.
11:33With a little help from my friends.
11:34Nancy and Frank Sinatra, Robbie Williams and Adam.
11:38Something stupid.
11:39Correct.
11:40Speed up the timers.
11:41Nilsen and Mariah Carey.
11:43Fiona.
11:44Without you.
11:45Correct.
11:47And that is the end of this category.
11:51Adam.
11:53Very impressive.
11:54We saw your chance.
11:55You went for it.
11:57I tried.
11:59Well, you did a great job.
12:00Michael.
12:01You'd stopped your timer.
12:02And then you went back in.
12:03I should have kept quiet.
12:05Oh, it's really hard, is it?
12:07A little bit like Will.
12:08You were in.
12:09You were out.
12:10You were shaking it all about.
12:11Back in again.
12:12Although, ironically,
12:13didn't get the shaking Stephens answer.
12:15You're faster than me.
12:16I'll give you that.
12:17How does it feel when someone's going after you, Will?
12:19Well, I knew that number ones wouldn't be quite as strong as animation.
12:23Now I'm just hoping that the next category will be a bit better for me.
12:26Good luck with that.
12:27The competition is fierce.
12:29Don't go anywhere.
12:30We'll see you after the break.
12:31APPLAUSE
12:32Welcome back to Time Is Money.
12:44As our players have just found out, their money is never safe in this game.
12:48Fiona, you currently have the lowest amount in your money timer.
12:53How are you feeling?
12:54Oh, OK.
12:55I'm just waiting for that perfect category to turn up.
12:57You're waiting for that perfect category, and if it could come next,
13:00that would be really helpful, wouldn't it?
13:01Absolutely, yes.
13:02OK, let's manifest it.
13:03Let's find out what our next set of questions is about.
13:06They are about...
13:11Oh.
13:12That wasn't the look I was hoping for.
13:14Geography, but...
13:15OK, let me tell you a bit more.
13:17I'm going to give you two countries that share a land border with at least one other country.
13:22I will also give you the first letter of a country they share a land border with.
13:26Please give me the name of that country.
13:29The initial letters given are of the usual short form names in English.
13:34You are all on the buzzers.
13:36Here is your first question.
13:39Norway and Finland, S. Adam.
13:42Sweden.
13:43Is correct.
13:44Which means, Adam, you're safe for now.
13:47But you are all back on the buzzers.
13:50Start the timers.
13:51USA and Guatemala, M.
13:53Will.
13:54Mexico.
13:55Correct.
13:56Estonia and Lithuania, L.
13:58Michael.
13:59Latvia.
14:00Correct.
14:01Uganda and Somalia, K.
14:04Fiona.
14:05Kenya.
14:06It's correct.
14:08There we go.
14:09Nice easy round.
14:10Done sorted, on to the next one.
14:12Yeah?
14:13You can breathe a bit of a sigh of relief there, Fiona.
14:16Was that as bad as you were expecting?
14:18Yes.
14:20Well, it hasn't put too much of a dent there in your money timer.
14:23This next set of questions is about...
14:25Acting siblings.
14:28So I'm going to give you the name of a film which features a pair of actors who are real-life siblings.
14:34I will also give you the actors' first names.
14:37Please tell me their shared surname.
14:41You're all on the buzzer.
14:43Here is your first question.
14:47Home Alone, Kieran and Macaulay.
14:49Will.
14:50Culkin.
14:51Is correct.
14:52So, Will, you're safe for now.
14:55You are all back on the buzzers.
14:57Start the timers.
14:59Thor, Ragnarok, Luke and Chris.
15:02Fiona.
15:03Elmsworth.
15:04Incorrect.
15:05It's Tensworth.
15:06Lose £50.
15:07White Chicks, Sean and Marlon.
15:09Fiona.
15:10Wyons.
15:11Is correct.
15:12Duck Soup, Harport and Groucho.
15:15Will.
15:16Marks.
15:17Correct.
15:18Speed up the timers.
15:20Correct.
15:21Do the right thing.
15:22Joar and Spike.
15:26Too slow.
15:27It's Lee.
15:29High fidelity.
15:30John and John.
15:31Adam.
15:32Cusack.
15:33Correct.
15:34Speed up the timer.
15:35Good Will Hunting.
15:36Casey and Ben.
15:37Michael.
15:38Affleck.
15:39Correct.
15:40Fiona, you saved yourself in time.
15:45Thankfully, Michael struggled a little bit there,
15:48so we've levelled the playing field almost down at the bottom end.
15:52Michael, how did that feel?
15:54That was tough.
15:55I wasn't quick enough.
15:56I knew somebody just couldn't get there in time.
15:57It's that buzzer, isn't it?
15:58It's these two up the end.
15:59You are.
16:00Watch them.
16:03OK, this next set of questions is all about...
16:11Adam.
16:12Has that a little bit of confidence I sensed there, or...?
16:15No.
16:16None at all, I'm afraid.
16:17Well, you looked confident, even if you maybe didn't feel it.
16:22Will, how are you feeling about this one?
16:24Similarly, not overly confident,
16:27but I could get some that I just know in the back of my mind somewhere.
16:32It's the right time to just pull it from there if you can.
16:35Fiona, Michael, this could be your chance.
16:37Yeah?
16:38Come on, you've got this.
16:39Michael, you're looking very confident with the nod in there.
16:42I'm hoping for this one.
16:43Right, come on, let's see it.
16:44So, I'm going to give you the names of two professional sports teams.
16:47You need to tell me the US state in which they're both principally based.
16:52For avoidance of doubt, a team is based at the location of its main home stadium or arena.
16:59OK?
17:00You are all on the buzzer.
17:02Here is your first question.
17:03Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Rams.
17:08Adam.
17:09California.
17:10Is correct.
17:11So, Adam, that means you're safe for now and your timer will not start counting down.
17:16You are all on the buzzers.
17:18Start the timers.
17:20Green Bay Packers and Milwaukee Bucks.
17:22Adam.
17:23Wisconsin.
17:24Correct. Speed up the timers.
17:25Buffalo Bills and Brooklyn Nets.
17:27Will.
17:28New York.
17:29Correct.
17:30Denver Nuggets and Denver Broncos.
17:31Fiona.
17:32Colorado.
17:33Correct.
17:34New Orleans Saints and New Orleans Pelicans.
17:36Louisiana.
17:37Correct.
17:38Speed up the timer.
17:39Memphis Grizzlies and Nashville Predators.
17:41Adam.
17:42Tennessee.
17:43Correct.
17:44Speed up the timer.
17:45Chicago Bears and Chicago Bulls.
17:46Adam.
17:47Illinois.
17:48Correct.
17:49Speed up the timer.
17:50San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Michael.
17:51Texas.
17:52Oh, Michael.
17:53It was Texas.
17:54And you were just out of time.
17:55It's my favourite team as a kid.
17:56Oh, no.
17:57Oh.
17:58Did you know some of the other ones as well, Michael?
17:59Yeah, just too slow.
18:00It's this one down here.
18:01Adam was on fire that round.
18:03Adam, did you smell a bit of weakness down there?
18:06Did you think, oh, here's my chance.
18:07Michael thought he was going to be strong here.
18:08I've got to be fast.
18:09Not at all.
18:10I mean, I don't think I know much about sport.
18:11And I don't think I know much about the US.
18:12I don't know what happened there, I'm afraid.
18:13Sorry, Michael.
18:14Michael, I'm taken from that.
18:15He's a bit sorry.
18:16He's a bit sorry.
18:17He's a bit sorry, Michael.
18:18Michael, I'm taken from that.
18:19He's a bit sorry.
18:20He's a bit sorry, Michael.
18:21Michael, I'm taken from that.
18:22He's a bit sorry, isn't he?
18:23Oh, no.
18:24Oh, no.
18:25Did you know some of the other ones as well, Michael?
18:26Yeah, just too slow.
18:27It's this one down here.
18:28You've held your own.
18:29But unfortunately, it just wasn't quite enough.
18:30So we're going to have to say goodbye.
18:31Thanks for having me.
18:32Thanks for having me.
18:33Thank you, Michael.
18:34I don't know much about the US.
18:35I don't know what happened there, I'm afraid.
18:36Sorry, Michael.
18:37Michael, I'm taken from that.
18:38He's a bit sorry and it wasn't personal.
18:39But that was a tough round for you.
18:40I thought you were going to storm that one.
18:41I thought that would be your chance to be getting back at will.
18:43It was tough.
18:44I've had a good time there.
18:45Thanks, Sarah.
18:46Well, I'm afraid your time in the competition is up, Michael.
18:49You've been up against some really stiff competition here.
18:52You've held your own.
18:53But unfortunately, it just wasn't quite enough.
18:55So we're going to have to say goodbye.
18:57Thanks very much.
18:58Michael, you're out of time and you're out of money.
19:07But the rest of you, well done on making it through to the next round.
19:12Fiona, you've done it again.
19:15Right by the skin of your teeth.
19:17But you know, it's not over till that last coin drops
19:19and you saved yourself at just the right time.
19:22Yeah, it's getting a bit squeaky there, wasn't it?
19:24Yeah, a little bit squeaky bone, but you know what?
19:26You pulled it out the bag when you needed to.
19:28That's all that matters.
19:29Yeah.
19:30Brilliant.
19:31You must be pleased with that.
19:32I am.
19:33I am.
19:34I was hoping in a very wrong way that these guys would beat Michael
19:37to the button.
19:38So a bit of strategy went in there.
19:40The strategy worked a treat.
19:42Will, are you sensing a bit of competition here from Adam?
19:46Definitely.
19:47Came out of absolutely nowhere with those and going to have to be
19:52even more buzzer happy, I think.
19:54Oh, the fight is definitely on.
19:56But listen, the money that you've saved will be carried through
19:59to the final for you if you make it there.
20:01So let's see what you've saved.
20:03Will, good solid round, £720.
20:07Adam, brilliant round from you, over £1,000 there, £1,010.
20:12Well done.
20:13And Fiona, £190, but you're still here.
20:16I am.
20:17Keeping fighting.
20:18So let's save that money for later.
20:23So it's now time for round three.
20:25And this time you're starting with £1,500 in your timers.
20:29Let's top up those timers.
20:34This time, because it's round three,
20:36we're giving you three clues to each answer.
20:39But as before, the cash countdown will be even faster.
20:43Our first set of questions is about...
20:46Sitcom characters.
20:49I'm going to give you the name of a female character
20:52in a TV sitcom, the name of the sitcom
20:55and the first name of the actress who plays her.
20:57Please give me the surname of that actress.
21:00Fiona, do you watch a lot of sitcoms?
21:03Not really, but I know my actors and actresses,
21:07so I'm hopeful.
21:08That's a positive mindset to have, I like that.
21:11Well, as you know, time is money.
21:13So here is your first question.
21:16Edina Monsoon, absolutely fabulous, and Jennifer.
21:21Fiona. Saunders.
21:23Is correct.
21:25You're safe for now.
21:28You can just watch these two battle it out.
21:30I might just do that.
21:31Or you could take the opportunity to speed them up,
21:33send them home a bit quicker, get rid of the competition.
21:36OK, you're all on the buzzers.
21:39Let's start the timers.
21:41Dorothy, men behaving badly, and Caroline.
21:45Adam.
21:46Quentin.
21:47Correct.
21:48Hyacinth Buquer, Keeping Up Appearances, and Patricia.
21:51Adam.
21:52Routledge.
21:53Correct. Speed up the timer.
21:54Claire Devlin, Derry Girls, and Nicola.
21:56Will.
21:57Coughlin.
21:58Is correct.
21:59Oh, I mean, you got a little bit on them there, Fiona.
22:04I was hoping the crack might be a little bit wider than that,
22:08and you might be able to get a bit of a head start,
22:10but these two were good.
22:12Our next set of questions is all about FA Cup winners.
22:19So, that was a bit of a mixed bag of reactions.
22:22Adam, how do you feel about FA Cup winners?
22:25Terrible.
22:26Oh.
22:27Fiona.
22:28Football is not my first love.
22:30Will.
22:31Shall I say, just for balance, amazing,
22:32even though it's totally not true.
22:36So, this could be an interesting category.
22:38I'm going to give you three clues to the winning team
22:41in the men's FA Cup.
22:43I'll give you the year of the final,
22:45the losing team, and the initial of the winning team.
22:49Please give me the name of the winning team.
22:52OK?
22:54You are all on the buzzers,
22:56and here is your first question.
23:04Fiona.
23:05Manchester United.
23:06Is correct.
23:09Did you know that, Fiona,
23:10or was that just a really well-educated guess?
23:12Yep.
23:13Well, do you know what?
23:14You played a blinder there.
23:15Right.
23:17Fiona, you're safe for now.
23:19You are all back on the buzzers.

24:29How are you feeling?
24:30Let's just hope the next round's a lot better.
24:32Well, fingers crossed, Will.
24:34Fiona.
24:35It must have felt good.
24:36It did.
24:37Freakishly good.
24:38Freakishly good.
24:39Freakishly good.
24:40Well, do you know what?
24:41It just shows you that well-educated guest or, of course, all the football knowledge she
24:45had that got you into this position.
24:47£1,500 sitting there.
24:49You must be feeling a lot more relaxed as we move into the next set of questions.
24:52I am.
24:53I'm slightly growing in confidence.
24:55Well, that's good.
24:57OK, our next set of questions is all about...
25:02Famous people.
25:03I'm going to give you the names of three famous people from throughout history
25:07that all come from the same country.
25:09I'd like you to tell me the country.
25:11This first question is the all-important one.
25:14Get this right and your money timer will not start counting down.
25:17You are all on the buzzers.
25:19Here's your first question.
25:25Australia.
25:26That's correct.
25:27There you go.
25:28That's what you needed here, Will.
25:30Whew!
25:31You can breathe a sigh of relief.
25:32You're safe for now.
25:34You are all back on the buzzers.
25:36Let's start the timers.
25:42India.
25:43Egypt.
25:44Well, that was a short category.
25:45Short-lived relief.
25:46Short-lived relief.
25:47OK.
25:48Shall we see what the next set of questions is about?
25:50They are about...
25:51Hmm.
25:52Could be interesting.
25:53I want to give you the titles of three UK top 40 singles by artists or groups who have headlined
26:00the pyramid stage at Glastonbury.
26:02I'd like you to tell me who the acts are.
26:04This is according to the official charts website.
26:06Have you ever been at Glastonbury, Will?
26:07I've never been at Glastonbury, Will.
26:08But we'll see if...
26:09Maybe I'll just get a lucky one.
26:10Right.
26:11You are all on the buzzer.
26:12Here is that first question.

26:38It's correct.
26:39Oh, they've done it again.
26:41There's that lucky one.
26:43Absolutely.
26:44Absolutely.
26:45Just enjoy this while it lasts.
26:47Right.
26:48You're all on the buzzers.
26:50Let's start the timers.
26:52New rules, physical and dance the night.
26:55Will.
26:56Dua Lipa.
26:57Correct.
26:58Speed up the timers.
26:59It's all over now.
27:00Paint it black and jumping jack flash.

27:04It's the Rolling Stones.

27:16Fiona.

27:19You three.
27:20This one's close.
27:22Right.
27:23Our next set of questions is all about...
27:27English counties.
27:30So I'm going to give you the names of three towns or cities,
27:33all of which are located in the same county.
27:36I'd like you to tell me which county they're in.
27:39You're all on the buzzer.
27:40Here's that all-important first question.
27:48Adam.
27:49Buckinghamshire.
27:50Correct.
27:51Which means you're safe, Adam.
27:53You are all back on the buzzers.
27:55Start the timers.

28:22Is correct.
28:25What are you doing to me?
28:27I lived in Derbyshire for 18 years,
28:29so if I didn't get that one right, I'd be...
28:31So you would have been in trouble if you hadn't got that one right.
28:34Whoo!
28:35Adam, was that the plan?
28:37Go for them.
28:38Say they're a little bit vulnerable.
28:39You just have to go with what you know.
28:41It's part of the game.
28:43Have you seen people come back from this before, Will?
28:46It's not over till that last coin drops.
28:49Our next set of questions is about...
28:52Decades of films.
28:55So I'm going to give you the titles of three well-known films.
28:59I want to know the decade in which all three films were first released.
29:04Will, how do you feel about films?
29:06Well, as an animator, again, I feel like the pressure's on for me to get this one right,
29:10but the pressure's already on no matter what the category is, so...
29:12And I'm sure you don't need me to remind you,
29:14but this first question could be your saving grace right now.
29:18OK?
29:19You are all on the buzzer.
29:21Here's your first question.
29:23The Shawshank Redemption...
29:25Will?
29:26The 1970s.
29:27Is incorrect.
29:29It's the 1990s.
29:31So, Will, your money timer will definitely be counting down.
29:35Adam and Fiona, here is your next question.
29:38Some like it hot.
29:40Singing in the rain.
29:41Adam?
29:421950s.
29:43Is correct.
29:44Which means you're safe for now.
29:47You are all back on the buzzers.
29:49Let's start the timers.
29:51King Kong, Gone With The Wind.
29:53Will?
29:541930s.
29:55Is correct.
29:56It's the 1970s.
29:57Rocky, Jaws and Saturday Night Fever.

30:25Will?
30:26The 2010s.
30:27Is incorrect.
30:28It's the 2000s.
30:30Oh, Will.
30:31Can't believe it.
30:32It's so close.
30:33You're going to pick yourself up.
30:34You're going to pick yourself up.
30:35And you're going to pick yourself up.
30:37Oh! I can't believe it.
30:39So close. I had my heart in my mouth the whole of that round
30:44every time I saw your buzzer.
30:45Funnily enough, so did I.
30:46You took some great risks there as well.
30:50I think Twilight is 2009 or 2008,
30:53so I think I was just pushing it a bit too far into the wrong decade.
30:57Twilight was 2008.
30:58Oh!
30:59You've been a brilliant player, though.
31:00A fantastic contestant and really put up a phenomenal fight
31:04against these two.
31:05You've got to be proud of how you've done today.
31:07Absolutely, definitely.
31:08And best of luck to you two.
31:10Thank you. Thanks, Will.
31:11Unfortunately, though, it does mean that we're going to have to say goodbye.
31:14Thank you very much. Best of luck to you two.
31:16Will, you're out of time, and you're out of money.
31:26So, Adam and Fiona, how does it feel to be here?
31:30Fiona, you look a little bit like deer in the headlights.
31:32Can't believe you've made it this far.
31:34Yeah, that's me totally. I'm terrible on dates.
31:36I can tell you who's in films, but not when they came out.
31:39Well, you did what you needed to, and you've made it through to the head-to-head.
31:43How are you feeling? Fantastic.
31:44Brilliant. That's what I like to hear, mind.
31:46Adam over here is stiff competition.
31:48Yes, he is. He's so quick.
31:51He really is. He's quick on that buzzer. He's buzzer-happy.
31:57Now, the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final round for you,
32:01if you make it there, OK?
32:03So, let's see what you've saved.
32:05Adam, another £990. Well done. Another solid round from you.
32:10And Fiona, £400. We're getting better. We're getting better.
32:14Yeah, we are. Not to be sniffed at.
32:16So, let's save that money for later.
32:20We're down to two, and the competition is really hotting up.
32:23Only one can make it through to our final.
32:25Don't go anywhere.
32:39Welcome back. This is Time Is Money.
32:41It's been a ferocious game so far, and we're just left with two players.
32:47Adam and Fiona. I was expecting to see Adam here.
32:49I wasn't sure I was going to be seeing you here, Fiona.
32:52No, I wasn't sure either.
32:53How does it feel? You must be excited to make it through to the head-to-head.
32:56I am. I'm very pleased with myself so far.
32:58Yeah, you should be.
32:59You've staved off some really stiff competition there,
33:01especially from Will in that last round.
33:04Adam, I've got to ask.
33:06You're a transport record-breaker.
33:09What's the record for?
33:10For travelling to every single London underground station
33:15in the quickest time.
33:17I don't hold the record at the moment. It was beaten.
33:20But no, I did hold it.
33:22How long ago did you hold it?
33:23I set it four years ago.
33:25Wow. Fantastic.
33:27Well, it's time for our head-to-head.
33:29We're going to top up the timers, this time with £1,750.
33:35Let's top up those timers.
33:40This head-to-head is all about staying in control as your opponent's money drains away.
33:45I'm going to ask you questions on a particular category which will change every five questions.
33:51Answer correctly and your opponent's timer will start to count down.
33:55If you keep buzzing in and answering correctly, then your opponent's timer will speed up.
34:00But if you buzz in and get one wrong, or if your opponent buzzes in with the right answer,
34:05then their timer will stop and yours will start instead.
34:09Are you both ready?
34:10Yes.
34:12OK, your first set of questions start...
34:15Which superhero?
34:17You are both on the buzzers.
34:19Here is your first question.
34:23Which superhero team first appeared in comics in 1963 and includes...
34:29Adam?
34:29Justice League.
34:31It's incorrect.
34:32I was going to go on to say Cyclops and Wolverine, which would make the answer X-Men.
34:39So, Adam, your money timer will start counting down.
34:43You're both back on the buzzers.
34:46Let's start the timer.
34:47Which superhero has had several sidekicks that use the alias Robin, including Adam?

38:01Fiona.
38:02You knew a lot of the answers there because you're just not quite getting fast enough.
38:05No, no.
38:06I was just trying to put him off by pressing the button, really.
38:08He is fast.
38:11I mean, you got back in there a couple of times, but he just kept coming back, didn't he?
38:15Yeah, he's very good.
38:16You put up a worthy fight here, but Adam was just too strong at the 11th hour.
38:21You were close to the final, but unfortunately, we're going to have to say goodbye.
38:25I had a fabulous time. Thanks, Sarah, and very good luck to Adam.
38:29Fiona, you're out of time and you're out of money.
38:31The pressure is really ramping up.
38:38Join me after the break as Adam plays to win all of the cash he's saved,
38:42if he can stop all the money timers.
38:56Welcome back to Timers Money, where Adam is about to take on his biggest challenge yet.
39:02Congratulations, Adam. You've made it through to the final round.
39:05You've dominated so much of the competition.
39:09You must be thrilled to be standing there now.
39:11It just feels surreal.
39:12Well, you've kept quite a level head all the way through.
39:15Um, I've tried.
39:16Yeah, you strike me as quite a strategic player.
39:19It's as much about luck as it is knowledge, and I don't think I'm particularly strategic.
39:25Well, I think you've done really, really well trying to strategically take down your opponents
39:29one at a time, speeding up them timers when you've got the chance.
39:32It's worth a treat.
39:34But now is your chance to win the money that you saved earlier in the game.
39:38So let's bring back your previous money timers.
39:42In round one, you managed to save £370.
39:46In round two, a whopping £1,010.
39:51Brilliant. Round three as well, £990.
39:54And then in that head-to-head, you've just saved £970.
40:01And in our final, time really is money.
40:04So your timers are about to start counting down simultaneously.
40:08If any hits zero, you'll be going home with nothing.
40:12But before you take this on, you've got the chance to top up your timers one last time
40:17with up to £2,000. There are five questions and five chances to top up your timers.
40:25But get one wrong and your highest timer will lock.
40:29Are you ready?
40:30Yes.
40:31Let's play.

41:31Oh, that was a good round. It's just that one that you didn't get there.
41:34But we've topped up our other timers and number one, the all-important lowest one you had,
41:39is now standing at £770, which is a much stronger position to be in.
41:44Now, that's a significant amount of money there you could potentially win here, Adam.
41:48What would you spend the money on if you do win today?
41:51Well, I'd like to go to Australia and ride the entire Melbourne tram network because it's the longest in the world.
41:57Oh, wow. I didn't know that.
42:00Well, let's hope it's a good round for you then. It's time for the final.
42:04So, your timers are about to start counting down simultaneously.
42:08You must take on your timers one by one by answering a question correctly to stop them.
42:14We'll get one wrong and the most recently stopped timer will restart.
42:18If you can stop all four timers before any of them hit zero, then you will take home whatever money remains.
42:25But if any of them hit zero, the game will end and you'll leave with nothing.
42:29Just to warn you, the timers will speed up every 30 seconds.
42:33So, Adam, which timer would you like to start at?
42:37One, please.
42:39Number one.
42:41Are you ready?
42:42Yes.

43:53Er, maths isn't my strong point.
43:55I couldn't add up the timers.
43:58You had more than enough to be thinking about there, Adam, without having to do that.
44:02That is incredible.
44:03You held your nerve amazingly there.
44:07Just cool, calm, collected, take on the timers.
