00:00Welcome to Time Is Money, the fastest quiz on TV,
00:27where five players are about to be given thousands of pounds
00:30before they answer a single question.
00:33But in this game, it's not about getting the money.
00:36The trick is keeping hold of it.
00:38Let's meet our five players, all hoping to last the longest today.
00:42Now, as this is the quickest quiz,
00:44can you sum yourself up in just three words?
00:47My name's Ali, and I'm an astronomy-loving pharmacist.
00:51I'm Jemima, and I am a pottery-obsessed scientist.
00:54Hi, I'm Patrick, and I'm a funny football fanatic.
00:57Hello, I'm Steph, and I'm a Prosecco-loving teacher.
01:01I'm Kirsty, and I'm an energetic cross-stitcher.
01:04Oh, hey, I tell you what, five of you after my own heart,
01:08but in particular, Kirsty, cross-stitch lover.
01:12Yes, definitely a woman after my own heart.
01:15Exciting, Steph.
01:16I mean, let's hope we're celebrating in style
01:19with a bit of Prosecco at the end of the show together.
01:20I hope so.
01:21I'll manifest it for you. Brilliant.
01:24Jemima, you're a scientist.
01:26I am. What kind of science?
01:28Biomedical science. Biomedical?
01:31Yeah, I work in blood transfusion.
01:33Oh, wow. Yeah.
01:35Well, let's hope we get some blood-related scientific questions.
01:38I hope so, yeah.
01:40If so, you four don't stand a chance.
01:42No. Scott, yeah.
01:43It's brilliant to have all five of you with us.
01:46So, welcome to the show.
01:48Now, let's play Time Is Money.
01:50In front of each of you is your money timer,
01:57which is an hourglass that we're filling with cash
02:00that you could be taking home.
02:02For round one, you start with £1,000.
02:06So, let's top up the timers.
02:11But in this game, time is money.
02:14So, the trick is keeping hold of it.
02:17So, if you can't get a question right,
02:19your money will count down coin by coin.
02:21And if you run out of money, then your time in the game is up.
02:25You look like you've got the hang of that, Ali.
02:27I'll get it. I'll get it.
02:28You've got it? I've got it.
02:30So, basically, as long as you keep getting the questions right,
02:32you're all good. I'm all right.
02:33Yeah? Only a problem if we get them wrong.
02:35Yeah.
02:37Now, our first set of questions is about advertising slogans.
02:44So, I'll read out a slogan that is famously being used to advertise
02:47a particular food or drink product.
02:50I need you to give me the product that the slogan advertises.
02:54Yep, we're all good.
02:56Yeah. Watch loads of TV.
02:58Listen to loads of radio adverts.
03:00Feeling confident? No.
03:02Kirsty, not looking too confident.
03:04You're regretting now all that time you fast-forwarded through them
03:07when we were little. Exactly.
03:08Yeah, you see, you'll regret it.
03:10You'll regret it.
03:11You're looking quietly confident down the end there, Ali.
03:14Zero. I don't watch that much TV.
03:16If they're all adverts, I know them.
03:18Yeah. Yeah, I'll get it.
03:19Now, there are up to ten questions to answer in each category.
03:24This first question is crucial,
03:26because the player who gives me the right answer
03:29will stop their money timer from counting down for now.
03:34So, get ready on your buzzers, and here is your first question.
03:40You either love it or hate it.
03:43Steph. Is it Marmite?
03:45It is. That's the correct answer,
03:47which means that you are safe for now, OK?
03:51Now, the rest of you, your timers are going to start counting down
03:55at the rate of £10 a second.
03:58Now, you must buzz in correctly to stop your timer,
04:02but an incorrect answer is going to cost you £50.
04:06Steph, if you buzz in before the others with a right answer,
04:10you will speed up their timers, which will potentially
04:12send them out of the game sooner.
04:14But an incorrect answer will start your own timer.
04:19Are you all ready?
04:20Yes.
04:22Let's start the timers.
04:25It's the real thing.
04:29Too slow. It's Coca-Cola.
04:31Once you pop, you can't stop.
04:35Kirsty. Pringles.
04:36Is correct.
04:37How do you eat yours?
04:42Kirsty. Cream egg.
04:43Is correct. Speed up the timers.
04:45Made in Scotland from girders.
04:47Patrick. I guess.
04:48Is incorrect. It's Iron Brew.
04:50Blue is £50.
04:52Reassuringly expensive.
04:57Too slow. It's stelleratoire.
04:59Helps you work, rest and play.
05:03Ali.
05:04Rest and play.
05:05Argh!
05:06I don't know.
05:07Too slow. It's Mars bar.
05:09Lose £50.
05:11Taste the rainbow.
05:12Kirsty.
05:13Skittles.
05:13Correct. Speed up the timers.
05:15The mint with the hole.
05:17Patrick.
05:17Arrow.
05:18Incorrect. It's Polo.
05:20Lose £50.
05:22It's a bit of an animal.
05:26Too slow.
05:28That's the end of the category.
05:31The answer was pepperami.
05:36That was a tight one.
05:38Oh, Patrick.
05:39I felt for you there.
05:40Yeah, not great.
05:41Is it pretty stressful when you can just hear those timers counting down?
05:45It is, and I think I let that get to my head, to be honest with you, yeah.
05:48Yeah, you just know your money's draining away pound by pound and it just adds to the pressure.
05:54Yeah, watching it fade away right in front of my own eyes.
05:56At least you were trying.
05:58Exactly, that's all right, exactly.
06:00Ali, how did it feel?
06:02I just pressed without thinking that, like, my question.
06:04And it's like, I don't know, just a reaction.
06:07I thought, oh, no, what's the answer?
06:08At least that's a good start.
06:10You've got to hit the buzzer to get somewhere.
06:12I know, I know.
06:13Just wasn't your round.
06:14Yeah.
06:15Whereas Kirsty, you were seeing your chance there.
06:18I'm going to send these others home, send my competition back up.
06:21Shh, don't tell them, don't tell them.
06:24Is it quite exhilarating, though, when you think, I know this one, should I do it?
06:27And when you know it, you just can't help but press it.
06:29Just very competitive, what can I say?
06:32Our next set of questions is about movie characters, OK?
06:38So I'm going to give you the name of a film as well as its year of release.
06:43You need to tell me the name of the actor or actress
06:46who plays the character named in the title of that film, please.
06:51Now, we've seen how important that first question is.
06:55You get this first question right and your money is not going to count down.
07:00How's your movie knowledge, Patrick?
07:02To be honest, it's probably my weakest topic.
07:04However, miracles do happen, so, you know,
07:07hopefully you can come up with something wonderful here.
07:10That is a really nice positive attitude to have going into this.
07:14I'm going to really hope that this first question is the one that lands with you.
07:17We could do it for a little bit of safety.
07:19Me too, I hope so.
07:20I think Jemima's looking, thinking, I really hope it's not.
07:24I caught that look, Jemima.
07:25Now, you're all on the buzzers.
07:29Here is the first question.
07:33Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Steph.
07:37Harrison Ford.
07:39Is correct.
07:41So, once again, you are safe for now.
07:45The rest of you, you're all back on the buzzers.
07:49Let's start the timers.
07:52Mary Poppins, 1964.
07:57Two slow, it was Julie Andrews.
08:00X-Men Origins, Wolverine, 2009.
08:03Jemima.
08:03Hugh Jackman.
08:04It's correct.
08:05Bridget Jones, Mad About the Boy, Kirstie.
08:10Renee Zellweger.
08:12That's the correct answer, Kirstie, but unfortunately,
08:16Patrick just wasn't.
08:19Did you know it was Renee Zellweger?
08:20I didn't.
08:21No.
08:21You didn't?
08:21I didn't know.
08:22Oh, Patrick.
08:24You said movies wasn't your thing.
08:26And, yeah, no, I've had advertising slogans, apparently, so...
08:29Oh, Patrick.
08:31You are out of money.
08:34Oh, you've been brilliant, but sadly, it means that we have to say goodbye.
08:38Goodbye to you as well.
08:39Thank you very much.
08:40Patrick, you're out of time and you're out of money.
08:50So, the rest of you, well done for making it through to the next round.
08:54Now, the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final for you
08:59if you make it there, OK?
09:01So, let's have a look at what you've all saved.
09:03Ali, by the skin of your teeth, you've got £50.
09:07Pwah-hey, petrol money.
09:11Jemima, almost skin of teeth type territory,
09:14you've got 140 you'd potentially be taken through to the final.
09:17Yeah.
09:18Clean sheets.
09:19Steph over there with £1,000.
09:22And Kirsty, great round there, Kirsty, £700.
09:27So, let's save all of that money for later.
09:33So, Steph, I mean, I'm just going to rename you the queen of question one.
09:38Thank you very much.
09:39What a way to sail through the first round with a full £4,000 in the bank.
09:43That must feel good.
09:44Oh, it feels really good and it'll buy a lot of Prosecco.
09:47It will buy a lot of Prosecco.
09:49So, what was the strategy there?
09:51Did you know some of the other answers?
09:53Yeah. You just didn't want to risk buzzing in?
09:55When I was 100% sure, I went for it.
09:57They'll, like, curse you over here.
09:59You know, she's all smiley and nice over there,
10:02but then straight on that buzzer.
10:04Too competitive.
10:05That's the thing underneath me, is that I'm in it to win it.
10:10Well, poor Patrick felt the wrath there.
10:12Who have you got your eye on taken out next?
10:14Well, it looks like Steph's going to be some hard competition.
10:17Ooh, hey.
10:19Ali, did you feel the pressure from her?
10:22Especially when the clock is, like, his pounds are going down,
10:25and you're like, get an answer right, get an answer right.
10:27But I knew one or two, but I just wasn't that quick enough.
10:30You've got to get in there quickly.
10:31I know, I know. Otherwise, Kirstie's got to get in there.
10:33These guys are ruthless. And she's going to have you, Ali.
10:35Ruthless. She's not pausing, she's ruthless.
10:37She is.
10:39Jemima, just the quiet one there, just weighing up the game,
10:43getting a favourites. Yeah.
10:44Well, it's mission, get her stuff out now, so we'll see how that goes.
10:48Now, that is fighting talk. That really is.
10:52Yeah. Well...
10:53It's time for round two. There is more cash to play with.
10:57So, in this round, we're giving you all £1,250.
11:02So, let's top up those timers.
11:09As this is round two, you aren't just going to get one clue to answer,
11:13you're actually going to get two.
11:15And our first set of questions is all about Olympic and Paralympic hosts.
11:22So, I want to give you the name of two cities that have hosted the Summer or Winter Olympics
11:28and or the Paralympic Games.
11:29I'd like you to tell me which country those cities are in.
11:36Ali, Olympic knowledge?
11:38You're not confident here. I'm thinking of a world map straight away.
11:40He's...he's on it. Excellent.
11:42I want it. And Jemima, you feel good about your...
11:44your geography here?
11:45Er...
11:47Maybe. I don't know. I don't know. We'll see.
11:50The thing for me is you're all going to have to be quick on them buzzers
11:52if we're going to beat the queen of question one down here.
11:54Mm-hm. Yeah? Mm-hm.
11:56OK, now, time is money, and this first question is the all-important one.
12:02So, here it goes.
12:04Toronto and Bank...
12:06Ali... Canada.
12:07..is correct.
12:08Oh, hey! Get in there!
12:10Yes, get in there!
12:12You got one word from that!
12:14He has taken down the question one queen!
12:16Yeah.
12:17Steph, that's what fighting talk looks like.
12:19You were straight in there, didn't even wait for the second one.
12:23That's the beauty of this, Hugh, if you know it...
12:25Toronto, Canada, get it out of the way.
12:26It's straight in there.
12:28Now, you're all back on the buzzers.
12:31Let's start the timers.
12:33Salt Lake City and Los Angeles.
12:35Kirsty.
12:36California.
12:37Incorrect.
12:38Lose £50.
12:39It's the USA.
12:40Nagano and Tokyo.
12:43Steph.
12:44Japan.
12:44Is correct.
12:46Lillehammer and Oslo.
12:49Jemima.
12:49Norway.
12:50Is correct.
12:51Grenoble and Paris.
12:54Ali.
12:55France.
12:56Correct.
12:56Speed up the timer.
12:57Arnhem and Amsterdam.
13:00Jemima.
13:01Netherlands.
13:01Correct.
13:02Speed up the timer.
13:03Turin and Rome.
13:05Ali.
13:06Italy.
13:07Correct.
13:07Speed up the timer.
13:08Munich and Berlin.
13:10Ali.
13:11Germany.
13:11Correct.
13:12Speed up the timer.
13:13Melbourne and Sydney.
13:15First...
13:15Australia.
13:16Is correct.
13:17And that's everybody's timer stopped.
13:21Well done Kirsty.
13:22I was rooting there for you.
13:23I was getting a little bit stressful.
13:25Yeah.
13:26And as you can see fortunes can change in an instant in this game.
13:31Join us after the break to see if Kirsty can turn things around.
13:34Welcome back to Time Is Money.
13:48Now, as our players have just found out, their money is never safe in this game.
13:52Ali, king of the castle.
13:55What can I say?
13:56We've gone from scraping through on the first round to not losing a penny.
14:00How does it feel?
14:01It feels a bit really...
14:02At least I answered one question.
14:03That was the main thing.
14:04I'm not going to go home not having answered the question.
14:06That was my main worry, actually.
14:07So, I'm happy.
14:08Ali, you didn't just answer one.
14:09Once you got a taste for it, you were like, ah, getting a bit buzzer.
14:12The world map was spinning.
14:14The world map was spinning.
14:15So, were you specifically thinking,
14:17oh, I'm going to get my own back on Kirsty down there.
14:19I might try and send her home now.
14:21I was just panicking just to get one question right.
14:23You were just thinking, the geography's good, I'm going for it.
14:25Exactly.
14:26And I tell you what, Kirsty, how does it feel when the tables turn
14:30and you're on the receiving end?
14:32I don't like it being down here.
14:34Ali was taking all the answers and I was trying to answer them.
14:37Was it that you weren't just quite fast enough?
14:39Just weren't fast enough on some of them and then I could have
14:42facepalmed myself when I said California instead of United States.
14:45He was quick on the buzzer mind with this one.
14:47He was.
14:48He was not taking any prisoners.
14:50Well, it just shows you how things can change in an instant.
14:53Now, this next set of questions is all about dog breeds.
14:59So, I'll give you part of the name of two breeds of dog.
15:03They have another word in common which will complete the name of both breeds.
15:08For example, if I was to give you the words King Charles and Cocker,
15:13I would be looking for the word Spaniel,
15:15which would give us King Charles Spaniel and Cocker Spaniel, right?
15:19And all of these breeds appear on the website of the Kennel Club UK.
15:24Do you like your dogs, Kirsty?
15:26I do. I have a little popper.
15:29Excellent.
15:30He's a mixed breed.
15:31Ooh, well, let's hope you can be fast on the buzzer this time.
15:34Hopefully. This would be a really good one
15:36to get in with that all-important, crucial first question.
15:39Yep. Well, you are all on the buzzers,
15:41and here is that first question.
15:45Bedlington and Yorkshire.
15:47Kirsty. Terrier.
15:49Is correct.
15:51And she knew it.
15:53OK, so you're safe for now, but you're all back on the buzzers.
15:59Let's start the timers.
16:01Afghan and Basset.
16:03Jemima. Hound.
16:04Correct.
16:05Labrador and Golden.
16:08Steph.
16:08Retriever.
16:09Correct.
16:10Heidegan Welsh and Pembroke Welsh.
16:16Too slow. It's Corgi.
16:18Neapolitan and Pyrenean.
16:24Too slow. It's Mastiff.
16:27Standard and Toy.
16:32Too slow. It's Poodle.
16:34Shetland and Old English.
16:37Kirsty.
16:40Terrier.

16:49Correct.
16:51Gordon and Irish Red and White.
16:57Too slow. It's Seta.
16:59Slovakian Rough Head and Portuguese.
17:05Too slow.
17:06That's the end of the category.
17:09And the answer to that last one was Pointer.
17:13Oh, Ali.
17:14Oh, no.
17:15Thank goodness that was the end of that category.
17:17You're not a dog man.
17:18I'm definitely not.
17:19No.
17:20No.
17:20Do you normally love your dogs, though?
17:21Just not being just Poodle.
17:22I'm not really an animal person, no.
17:24No.
17:24No.
17:25What can I say?
17:26But never mind.
17:27Do you mind me?
17:28Good round.
17:29Strong?
17:30Yeah.
17:31For now.
17:32OK.
17:32Oh, she's been a bit tough on herself.
17:35Kirsty.
17:37That was...
17:38Yeah.
17:38That was getting me dogs, um...
17:41I did, but I made a little bit of a mistake,
17:42so I need to calm down a little bit still.
17:45You've got to set yourself back in.
17:47Yeah.
17:47Exactly.
17:48Well, it just shows how everything can turn around.
17:51It's now you and Ali.
17:53And we've got Jemima and Steph right up there at the top.
17:55Now, this next set of questions is all about...
18:04So, I'm going to give you two fictional characters
18:06created by the same author.
18:09I need you to tell me the name of the author who created them.
18:13How are you on your literature, Ali?
18:16Not very good. Not very good.
18:18Well, it might be like your geography in the end.
18:20You never know.
18:22How about you, Jemima?
18:23I do read quite a lot,
18:27but it's all, like, specific categories of books,
18:31so I might not have a wide range of author knowledge,
18:34but we'll see.
18:36Ah.
18:37Well, good luck.
18:39Now, you're all on the buzzer,
18:41and here is that all-important first question.
18:46Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot.
18:49Kirsty.
18:49Agatha Christie.
18:50Is correct.
18:54OK, so, your timer won't be counting down.
18:56You're safe for now.
18:58You are all back on the buzzers.
19:01Let's start the timers.

20:00It was Suzanne Collins.
20:02Ali, you had Kirsty there early in the game and then she came back to get you.
20:07How did it feel?
20:08Ah, the pressures.
20:09It's just these rounds.
20:10Dog breeds and literary characters.
20:12Just wasn't my thing.
20:13So, what can I say?
20:14It's just not your bad.
20:15Hot look, isn't it, really?
20:16So...
20:17Ali, I'm afraid your time is up.
20:20No matter.
20:21Ali, you're out of time and you're out of money.
20:24APPLAUSE
20:29So, the rest of you well done on making it through to the next round.
20:34Now, the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final for you
20:38if you make it there.
20:40So, let's see what you've all saved.
20:43So, Jemima, £430 from this round.
20:47Steph, £790 and Kirsty, £620.
20:53So, not a bad show for round two.
20:55So, let's save all of that money for later.
21:01It's now time for round three.
21:03And this time, you're starting with £1,500 in your timers.
21:09So, let's top up those timers.
21:10Now, this time, because it's round three,
21:16we're going to give you three clues to each answer.
21:19But as before, the cash countdown will be even faster.
21:24And our first set of questions is all about...
21:27..fruit and vegetable varieties.
21:30So, I'm going to give you the names of three varieties of a food
21:34that's widely sold as a fruit or vegetable.
21:36I'd like you to tell me the common name of that fruit or vegetable.
21:41All feeling a bit peckish?
21:43Mmm.
21:44Food knowledge, good and strong here?
21:46Like our vegetables?
21:48Yeah.
21:49I don't know if that's...
21:51..I'm playing a game here, Jemima.
21:53I'm going to play it cool or I'm really not so sure about this one.
21:55Yeah, I don't know. We'll see. We'll see.

22:53I'll also give you the year in which the film was first released,
22:56according to IMDb.
22:57Kirsty, you looked pretty happy when that category came up.
23:02Yeah, I teach drama, so I've been in musicals,
23:06so hopefully I don't sound silly now and not get one right.
23:09I love how Steph is putting this lovely forced smile
23:13as if I'm really happy for you right now.
23:16So, yeah, maybe not so much.
23:19How's your film knowledge, Steph?
23:21Oh, I'm quietly confident with this category.
23:24I love musicals.
23:26Jemima, are you still holding close to your chest?
23:28How do you feel with them two in the fighting talk down there?
23:30No, this could be the end of me.
23:31I'm not... I'm not lying.
23:33This is an all-strong point for me, but we'll see.
23:36OK. We'll see. I don't know.
23:38Might know, Sam.
23:39And you do realise that every time they keep buzzing...
23:42Yeah, I know. I know.
23:43..that's going to speed up that time.

24:09Never mind seeing it. I felt it.
24:13OK, so, Steph, you're safe for now.

31:30They obviously saw you as a threat.
31:32I doubt that.
31:33I would take it as a compliment.
31:35Well, you've been a brilliant contestant, but unfortunately,
31:38it means we're going to have to say goodbye.

32:59versus the smiling assassin on the end there.
33:02You two have been brutal.
33:04It's like, how quickly could we get the competition out?
33:07Is that a little bit of quiet confidence I'm sensing, Kirsty,
33:10or are the nerves kicking in now?
33:13Pretending confidence, maybe.
33:15Just acting confident, that's all I'm doing.

34:09But if you buzz in and get one wrong,
34:12or if your opponent buzzes in with a right answer,

41:13You've got all four timers now in four figures.
41:16That's got to feel good.
41:17Yeah, just try and keep them there now.
41:20I mean, if you can keep them there, that is a lot of money.
