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.
00:36Let'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?
00:44I'm Faraz, a travelling family doctor.
00:47I'm Anne, a crochet Lego lover.
00:50Hi, I'm Mark. I'm a football fanatic father.
00:53Hi, I'm Sarah, an outgoing coffee mogul.
00:56Hey, I'm Grace, and I'm a Disney-loving fighter.
00:59Grace, a Disney-loving fighter.
01:02Please tell me not all at the same time.
01:04Well, I've got a Disney tattoo,
01:06so when I'm fighting, I suppose I am doing it together.
01:09What kind of fighting do you do?
01:10I do Thai boxing, Muay Thai.
01:12OK, everybody else.
01:14We're not talking to Grace.
01:15Sorry, you want to watch it down there.
01:16We're already scared.
01:17Well, great to have you all with us.
01:19Let's play Time Is Money.
01:25In front of each of you is your money timer,
01:28an hourglass that we're filling with cash
01:30that you could take home.
01:32For round one, you are going to start with £1,000.
01:36Top up the timers.
01:41But in this game, time is money.
01:43So the trick is keeping hold of it.
01:46If you can't get a question right,
01:48your money will count down coin by coin.
01:51And if you run out of money,
01:53your time in the game is up.
01:55Now, our first set of questions is about...
01:58..logos.
02:00So I'm going to give you the name
02:02of a well-known brand, company or organisation.
02:05Please name the animal
02:07that has most notably featured in their logo.
02:10We all feeling good about our animal and logo knowledge?
02:13Yeah?
02:14So there are up to ten questions
02:16to answer in each category.
02:18This first question is crucial.
02:21The player who gives me the right answer
02:23will stop their money timer counting down for now.
02:27So get ready on your buzzers.
02:29Here's your first question.
02:31The first question.
02:34Lloyds Bank.
02:37Faraz.
02:38It's a horse.
02:39Is correct.
02:40Which means that you are safe for now.
02:43The rest of you, your timers are about to start counting down
02:47at the rate of £10 a second.
02:50You must buzz in correctly to stop your timer,
02:54but an incorrect answer will cost you £50.
02:57Now, Faraz, if you buzz in before the others
03:00with the right answer, you will speed up their timers,
03:03potentially sending them out of the game sooner.
03:06But an incorrect answer will start your own timer.
03:10Are you all ready?
03:12Start the timers.
03:14The worldwide fund for nature.

03:37It means £50.
03:38HMV.

03:44It's a dog.
03:45Lose £50.
03:46Emporio Armani.
03:48Mark.
03:49An eagle.
03:50Is correct.
03:51Alfa Romeo.
03:56Too slow.
03:57It's a snake.
03:58Glenfiddich.
04:02Grace.
04:03A bird.
04:04Is incorrect.
04:05It's a stag.
04:06Lose £50.
04:07Qantas.
04:09Grace.
04:11Too slow.
04:12Too slow.
04:13Lose £50.
04:14It's a kangaroo.
04:15And that is the end of the category.
04:18Guys, what happened?
04:21Faraz was just going for you all.
04:23I don't know if he was smelling blood and he was out to get you.
04:28Anne, what happened?
04:29I know.
04:30I thought I'd have it, but clearly not.
04:32Did you know any of the answers?
04:33I think I knew the first few, but Faraz beat me on the buzzers.
04:37Grace, you gave it a go at the end there.
04:39Terrible.
04:40Terrible.
04:41I was going to be a little bit politer than that.
04:43Was I?
04:44Don't serve it.
04:45You gave it a good try, Grace.
04:46You know you had a go there.
04:47Obviously, don't take good evidence of anything that's going on around me.
04:49OK.
04:51Faraz, you really went for it there.
04:53Yeah.
04:54Yeah.
04:55Tried to.
04:56I mean, you've got a bit of a smirk going on.
04:58Does it feel good?
04:59It was fortunate, the first three I knew.
05:01Because after that, I didn't have a clue.
05:02Yeah.
05:03And of course, as you keep getting them right, it just piles the pressure on everybody else
05:07and they're already feeling that pressure and you're just making it worse.
05:10Yeah.
05:11Hopefully, I can carry on with that and see how we go.
05:13Oh.
05:14He's looking to take you out, guys.
05:15You want to watch this one.
05:17OK.
05:18Our next set of questions is about...
05:21UK Eurovision entries.
05:24Oh.
05:25Well, the good news, girls, is if you've just seen the faces I saw from the two lads,
05:30things are really hotting up for you here.
05:33So, I'm going to give you the titles of songs that have been UK entries
05:37at the Eurovision Song Contest.
05:39But I'm going to miss out the last word of each title.
05:42You need to fill in the blanks.
05:44Grace, I'm just going to say this all-important first question
05:49could be the one that could save things and really turn it around for you here
05:52because you've got the lowest amount.
05:54Yep.
05:55If you get that one right, your timer will not start counting down.
05:58OK.
05:59OK?
06:00Yep.
06:01Good luck, all of you.
06:02You are all back on the buzzers.
06:04And here is the first question.
06:06Love, Shiner, blank.
06:08Sarah.
06:09Light.
06:10Is correct.
06:11So, your money timer will not start counting down.
06:14The rest of you, you are all back on the buzzers.
06:17Start the timers.
06:18Touch my blank.
06:20Anne.
06:21Body.
06:22Incorrect.
06:23It's fire.
06:24News, £50.
06:25I love the little blank.
06:30Too slow.
06:31It's things.
06:32Oh, Anne, Grace, I can't believe it.
06:38You've both run out of money at exactly the same time.
06:42Now, that means that we're going to need a tie-break question.
06:46Now, if you buzz in first and answer correctly,
06:49you'll go through to the next round.
06:51But if you buzz in and get it wrong, you'll go home empty-handed.
06:56You're both on the buzzers.
06:58Here is your tie-break question.
07:03In the film The Empire Strikes Back,
07:05which character famously says to Luke Skywalker,
07:08No, I am your father?
07:10Anne.
07:11Darth Vader.
07:13That is correct.
07:14Darth Vader.
07:15Anne, well done.
07:17Which means you're going to be through to the next round,
07:20which unfortunately means, Grace,
07:23we're going to have to say goodbye.
07:25Yeah, that was shocking, to be fair.
07:26So, probably deserve it.
07:28Do you know, you are so hard on yourself, Grace.
07:30It's a really tough game, this.
07:32Yeah.
07:33I mean, how does it compare to being in the ring?
07:35Oh, yeah, no, not as nervous as that.
07:37But just shocking, wasn't it?
07:39First round knockout.
07:40First time I've been stopped.
07:42You've played really, really well.
07:43You should be proud of yourself.
07:45It's ways.
07:46Well, sadly, it means we are going to have to say goodbye.
07:49But thank you so much.
07:50Cheers.
07:51Grace, you're out of time and out of money.
07:54APPLAUSE
07:57So, the rest of you, well done on making it through to the next round.
08:03Some of you just by the skin of your teeth.
08:06I mean, you don't get any closer than that, Anne.
08:08I thought Grace might get the answer to what I just beat her to it.
08:11Sarah, it's a bit of a panic when you start to see that money counting down,
08:15isn't it?
08:16It really is.
08:17And then when it starts to speed up, it makes you feel even worse,
08:20doesn't it?
08:21And all you can concentrate on is the money,
08:23and then you forget to listen to the questions.
08:25Yeah, you forget about the money, just focus on me.
08:27Right.
08:28It's the only way we're going to make it through the next round.
08:30On it.
08:31And how are you finding it, Mark?
08:32Not bad for us, he's a bit ruthless, isn't he, but...
08:35Just a bit.
08:36Just need to get through round by round.
08:37Yes.
08:38Someone needs to take him on.
08:40Yeah.
08:42So, the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final
08:45for you if you make it there.
08:47So, let's see what you've all saved.
08:49For us, you've saved a whopping 860 pounds.
08:55Ann, you've saved a whopping nothing.
08:59No coins going through to the final for you from this round.
09:03Mark, £420.
09:06That's not a bad run for the first round.
09:09And Sarah, hanging on in there with 190.
09:12You're just relieved to be through the next round, aren't you?
09:14Yes.
09:15I'm feeling the relief from over here, I really am.
09:17So, let's save all of that money for later.
09:19Well, it's now time for round two.
09:25This time, there's more cash to play with.
09:27In this round, it's £1,250.
09:31Let's top up those timers.
09:37As this is round two, you don't just get one clue to the answer,
09:41you're going to get two.
09:43Our first set of questions is all about film titles.
09:49I saw that sharp intake of breath there, Ann.
09:52Not feeling the most confident on film titles.
09:55Um, 50-50.
09:5750-50 is not bad.
09:59Faraz, please tell me you hate films.
10:02I do a little bit.
10:03I was very fortunate in the last round.
10:05My daughters love those logo quizzes, so...
10:07Oh, so it came in handy.
10:09It did indeed.
10:10Oh, now he spills the beans.
10:11That's good, guys.
10:12That is good.
10:13So, I'm going to give you the titles of two films
10:16that have been nominated for the Best Picture Oscar
10:19and the year that they were nominated.
10:22Each title will share one word,
10:25and I will replace it with a blank.
10:28Please tell me the word that the titles share.
10:31Time is money, so here is your first question.
10:35Miracle on 34th, blank.
10:40Mark.
10:41Street.
10:42Is correct.
10:43Which means you are safe for now.
10:46But you are all back on the buzzers.
10:48Let's start the timers.
10:50Marriage, blank.
10:522020.
10:53And Westside, blank.
10:542000...
10:55Faraz.
10:56Story.
10:57Born.
10:58Correct.
10:59American, blank.
11:002024.
11:01And...
11:02Gangster.
11:03Incorrect.
11:04It's fiction.
11:05The sixth, blank.
11:062000.
11:07And blank and sensibility.
11:0819.
11:09Faraz.
11:10Sense.
11:11Correct.
11:12Speed up the timers.
11:13The shape of blank.
11:142018.
11:15Ann.
11:16Year.
11:17Incorrect.
11:18Water.
11:19Lose 50 pounds.
11:20Promising young, blank.
11:21Two years.
11:22And...
11:23Year.
11:24Incorrect.
11:25Promising young, blank.
11:272021.
11:28And kiss of the spider, blank.
11:301986.
11:34Too slow, it's woman.
11:36Blank day, afternoon.
11:381976.
11:39And the power of the blank.
11:412022.
11:45Too slow, it's dog.
11:47The imitation, blank.
11:492015.
11:50And the crying, blank.
11:511993.
11:55Too slow, it's game.
11:57Blank is beautiful, 1999.
12:00And it's a wonderful, blank.
12:011947.
12:02Mark.
12:03Life.
12:04It's correct.
12:05That's the end of that category.
12:07Thank goodness, that's the end of that category, Ann and Sarah.
12:11So, Ann, you buzzed in very early with American Gangster.
12:14There is an American Gangster, but the second clue was pulp blank.
12:19So, the answer was fiction.
12:20And then again, you buzzed early and said you, but the films were the shape of water and hell or high water.
12:28So, the answer was water.
12:30I really feel for you.
12:31I know.
12:32You've been here before.
12:33I know.
12:34How does it feel?
12:35I'm feeling optimistic, let's just say.
12:37See what the next category is.
12:38That's a good feeling.
12:39You were brave enough to go over it.
12:41Yeah.
12:42Probably shouldn't have.
12:43Oh, that's the risk taking in you there.
12:45And Sarah, does it just start to spiral?
12:47Yeah, films are not my thing.
12:49I've got that much.
12:50I can't really sit still for long enough.
12:52Yeah.
12:53Yeah, I can see that.
12:54Faraz, thought you weren't the biggest film buff?
12:57Again, very fortunate.
12:58And Mark beat me this time, didn't he?
13:00He did.
13:01Mark had a really good round, actually.
13:03Are you feeling good about that, Mark?
13:05I was a bit cautious on that.
13:06I knew a few more, but weren't brave enough to go for it.
13:09It's a fine balance, isn't it?
13:10It is.
13:11Do I send the girls home, or do I just sit pretty?
13:14Trying to be kind.
13:15Well, listen, let's see if they can turn things around after the break.
13:30Welcome back to Time Is Money, as our players have just found out
13:33their money is never safe in this game.
13:36Oh, Anne, Sarah, it's getting down to the wire a little bit in this round.
13:40Anne, you've been here before.
13:42How is it feeling?
13:43Not the best, but like I said, optimistic for the next category.
13:47How about you, Sarah?
13:48I could see you getting more and more panicked as the time has just tipped away there.
13:53Yeah, need a good category to be able to come back fighting.
13:56A good strong category to get your teeth into, where you can show these boys what you made of
14:01and turn the tables on them.
14:03Exactly.
14:04Well, this next set of questions is all about European cities.
14:12What are you shaking your head for, Faraz?
14:14Because I said travelling, didn't I?
14:15The travelling family doctor should be confident about this.
14:18Yeah.
14:19I was expecting you to have a big smile like what Mark's got on his face here.
14:23Tell us about your travelling.
14:24It's been a bit further than Europe.
14:27Oh!
14:28That's where we're going with it.
14:29Ah, right.
14:30We'll see.
14:31We'll see.
14:32OK, so not a lot of European travel.
14:34Not a lot.
14:35OK, well, here's what's going to happen.
14:36But I'm going to give you the names of two cities that are in the same country in Europe.
14:41You just need to tell me the country that they're both in.
14:44Sounds simple enough?
14:46Well, listen, you're all on the buzzer and you don't need me to tell you that this first question is the all-important one.
14:50Because whoever gets this right means they stop their money timer from counting down.
14:56And here is the first question.
14:57Corb and Galway.
15:02Mark.
15:03Ireland.
15:04Is correct.
15:05Which means you're safe for now.
15:07You are all back on the buzzers.
15:09Start the timers.
15:11Eindhoven and Rotterdam.
15:13Ferraz.
15:14Holland.
15:15Yes, Netherlands.
15:16Malmö and Gothenburg.
15:22Too slow, it's Sweden.
15:24Split and Dubrovnik.
15:26Anne.
15:29Borgaria.
15:30It's Croatia.
15:31Lose £50.
15:33Turin and Florence.
15:35Sarah.
15:36Italy.
15:37It's correct.
15:38Granada and Barcelona.
15:41Mark.
15:42Spain.
15:43Correct.
15:44Speed up the timer.
15:45Dusseldorf.
15:47Oh, Anne.
15:49Oh, no.
15:51Oh, I thought you were going to get it there.
15:54And unfortunately, it just wasn't your round.
15:57I know.
15:58You managed to save yourself at the end of round one.
16:00Unfortunately, not this time.
16:02You've put up a great fight though.
16:03You've been a great contestant.
16:06Thank you so much for joining us.
16:07But unfortunately, your time in the game has come to an end.
16:11Anne, you're out of time and out of money.
16:21But that means the rest of you well done on making it through to the next round.
16:26Some of us just by the skin of our teeth.
16:30Sarah.
16:31Oh, you're not talking to Mark?
16:33Well...
16:36Mark, a lot of skin round them teeth.
16:38That was a great round.
16:40Sarah, you're hanging on in there though.
16:42Yes.
16:43It's like a rollercoaster this show, isn't it?
16:44Yes.
16:45Yep, we're just waiting for the big loop the loop to bring it back round.
16:47Must try harder in the next round.
16:48Yeah.
16:49It's nerve-wracking though, isn't it?
16:50Yeah.
16:51But you saved yourself there.
16:52Got in there fast before Mark could send somebody else home.
16:55Mark, I have to say, you are coming across very calm and collected.
17:00Absolutely not.
17:01Like a swan, is it?
17:02Yeah.
17:03Nothing calm and collected up here, but the little legs are flapping.
17:05Absolutely.
17:06Yeah.
17:07Well, you played a great round there.
17:08I mean, full house, £1,250.
17:10Not too bad.
17:11That is impressive for us.
17:13You must be feeling good after that round.
17:15My heart is going to fly out of my chest in a minute, so...
17:18It's the beauty of this game, it's exciting.
17:20It really is.
17:21Well, listen, the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final for you
17:25if you make it there.
17:27So, let's see what you've all saved.
17:29Faraz, £1,130.
17:31Well done.
17:32Mark, full house, £1,250.
17:36And Sarah, a whopping great big £120.
17:40It's been a great round.
17:41Let's save all of that money for later.
17:46So, it's now time for round three.
17:48And this time you're starting with £1,500 in your timers.
17:53So, let's top up those timers.
17:58This time, because it's round three, we're giving you three clues to each answer.
18:03But, as before, the cash countdown will be even faster.
18:08Our first set of questions is all about...
18:12Disney songs.
18:15Who, at Grace, would have been brilliant here, wouldn't she?
18:17Yeah.
18:18Oh!
18:20I'm going to give you the titles of three songs that are sung in the same Disney animated film.
18:27Liking the nods there, Faraz.
18:29I'm liking the nods.
18:30Someone's watched a lot of Disney.
18:32Yeah.
18:33I want you to give me the title of the film that all of these songs appear in.
18:38Now, Faraz and Mark, you've both mentioned your kids in your three words.
18:43How old are your kids, Faraz?
18:44Liana is nine.
18:46Aleah is seven.
18:47And the boys are 18 months.
18:49Wow.
18:50Yeah.
18:51So, if it's anything like my house, you'll be watching a lot of Disney.
18:53That's what happens sometimes.
18:54So, this could be great.
18:56Mark, how about you?
18:57Youngest is six.
18:58The oldest is 18.
18:59So, I'm hoping...
19:01So, you've potentially been watching Disney for a lot longer.
19:05Sarah, that look is not looking positive.
19:08I went Disney cruising last year.
19:11Oh!
19:12Here she comes!
19:13If I get this wrong, I'm in trouble when I get home.
19:15I think you will be, yes.
19:17I've got high hopes for all of you in this round then.
19:20Let's see if anybody starts getting any bit buzzer-happy
19:23and trying to send others home.
19:25Ooh!
19:26It's going to be an exciting round.
19:27Right.
19:28Time is money.
19:29And here is your first question.
19:34Be prepared...
19:36Faraz.
19:37Lion King.
19:38Correct.
19:39I didn't even get to Hakuna Matata.
19:41It's my favourite song in The Lion King.
19:43OK, so, your timer is not going to start counting down.
19:47Everybody, you're all back on the buzzers.
19:50Start the timers.
19:51Love is an open door.
19:53Do you want to build a snowman, Sarah?
19:55Frozen.
19:56It's correct.
19:57One jump ahead, friend like me, and a whole new world.
20:01Mark.
20:0211.
20:03It's correct.
20:05You all made light work of that one, didn't you?
20:07I thought that was going to be the exciting round,
20:09where someone was taking someone else out.
20:12Mark, you're just looking relieved.
20:14The whole new world was going to be our first dance at our wedding,
20:17so I'm glad that one came up.
20:18Oh!
20:19Perfect.
20:20It is a great song.
20:22So it was going to be?
20:23Was going to be.
20:24We changed it.
20:25Oh, I was just checking.
20:26It's the song that we changed, not the wedding.
20:28We still got married, but we changed the song.
20:29Oh, OK.
20:30OK.
20:31That could have been a little bit awkward.
20:34Brilliant.
20:35Right.
20:36Our next set of questions are all about sports personality of the year.
20:42Oh!
20:43Is that rubbing our hands together in excitement there, Mark,
20:46or sweaty palms were getting a bit nervous?
20:48Sweaty palms were getting a bit nervous.
20:50OK, just checking.
20:51Faraz, not a sportsman.
20:53I love sports, but the sports personality of the year
20:57isn't a strong point for me at all.
20:59Well, we're looking for winners
21:01of the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award.
21:04In each clue, I will give you the year in which they won,
21:07the sport they won it in, and then their initials.
21:12You need to name the sports personality.
21:14You're all on the buzzer.
21:16He's that all-important first question.
21:182013, Tennis AM.
21:23Mark...
21:24Andy Murray.

21:56This is tight.
21:58OK, so, our next set of questions is all about...
22:07Ooh!
22:08Sarah's eyes lit up there.
22:10Are you a big quizzer, Sarah?
22:12I've been on maternity leave twice.
22:14Perfect afternoon filler.
22:16We all know what that's like.
22:17I like it.
22:18Now, I'm going to give you the names of three people
22:20who have presented the same quiz or game show.
22:24You need to name the show.

22:36Faraz.
22:37Is it a family fortune?
22:38It is.
22:39That is correct.
22:40Which means that your money timer will not start counting down.
22:44Right, you are all back on the buzzers.
22:46Start the timers.

23:15This is super exciting.
23:16Let's get our next set of questions.
23:18UK politicians.
23:21Oh, very.
23:23Well, if it makes you feel better, you all had exactly the same reaction there.
23:29OK, so I'm going to give you the names of three senior UK politicians
23:33from the last ten decades of British politics.
23:36The first is a foreign secretary.
23:38The second is a chancellor of the Exchequer.
23:41And the third is a prime minister.
23:43You need to tell me the decade in which they all held the positions,
23:48although not necessarily at the same time.

24:14Here is your next question.
24:16David Lamme, Rachel Reeves and Kia Starmer.
24:21Sarah.

24:33Malcolm Rithkind, Ken Clarke and John Major.

24:59That could have been a lot worse there, Mark.
25:01We're still on 890.
25:02You guys are still super close here.
25:05This is incredible.

28:11Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton, A-T-O-T-C.
28:18Mark.
28:19Time of Two Cities.
28:21It was a Tale of Two Cities, but that hasn't affected the outcome because, Faraz, you've just run out of money.
28:28Yeah, I did.
28:29Oh, Faraz.
28:30After such a strong round, I was wondering what it was that was going to get you.
28:35Charles Dickens.
28:36Yeah.
28:37I found your guy's Achilles heel.
28:38It's unfortunate, but that was one of the topics that just wasn't my luck.
28:42Wow.
28:43I mean, you put up a brilliant fight there, Faraz.
28:45That has been the most nail-biting round I think I've ever experienced.
28:50That was absolutely brilliant.
28:51You were just a fantastic player there, but unfortunately, it means we're going to have to say goodbye.
28:57No problem.
28:58Faraz, you're out of time and out of money.
29:02So, Mark and Sarah, we're down to two.
29:12My word, what a nail-biting round that was.
29:15I mean, you were both brilliant, but Sarah, I'm going to have to come to you first.
29:19Was that getting really stressful in that last question?
29:22Yeah, I was being a bit tactical and just hoping that Faraz was not going to get any because his money was lower than mine.
29:27I saw where you were going with that one.
29:30Unless you absolutely knew a question it wasn't worth it.
29:33And then I gave Mark the answer earlier on.
29:36No.
29:37With a tale of two cities.
29:38Of course.
29:39ATOTC.
29:40Anyway.
29:41Made it through.
29:42Do you know what?
29:43It's worked out okay because you've made it through to the next round.
29:46And Sarah, if I'm being 100% honest, not sure I was expecting to see you here.
29:51Me neither, to be honest.
29:54I must have drunk enough coffee this morning, mustn't I?
29:56You must have drank enough coffee.
29:58Hey, something's worked.
30:00That outgoing coffee mogul, something's working in your favour.
30:03Mark, I can't tell if you're just very calm or if you're just hiding it all.
30:08I'm not taking anything for granted.
30:10The good thing about this game is it doesn't matter what happened in the past, we start on a leather playing field.
30:14You do.
30:15Each round, that's a brilliant way to put it.
30:18But it must have felt good when you knew you'd bank that Oliver Twist at the start of the Charles Dixon round.
30:23Absolutely. Such a relief.
30:24Yeah, I can't imagine the relief just draining out of you as you watch their money drain away.
30:28Absolutely.
30:29It was brilliant.
30:30Well, well done for both of you.
30:32Listen, the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final for you if you make it there.
30:37So let's see what you've saved.
30:39Mark, you've saved £730 in that round.
30:43And Sarah, you've saved £260.
30:46So let's save all that money for later.
30:48We're down to two and the competition is fierce.
30:54Only one can make it to our final.
30:56Don't go anywhere.
30:57APPLAUSE
30:58Welcome back. This is Time Is Money.
31:13Now, it's been an exhilarating game so far and we're left with just two players.
31:19Mark and Sarah, you must be excited to be here.
31:22Pressure doesn't stop, though.
31:23No, it doesn't.
31:24Sarah, I'm sorry to tell you, it just seems to keep mounting all the way through.
31:29How do you feel about going head-to-head with Mark?
31:32He's very quick on that buzzer.
31:34He is.
31:35And Mark, you're still not giving much away there.
31:37Are you quietly confident?
31:39Need to stay calm and focus on the questions, not the money.
31:42That is a good gameplay tactic.
31:44It's easier said than done, though, isn't it?
31:46Easier said than done.
31:47OK, it's time for the head-to-head.
31:49Now, we're going to top up the timers, this time with £1,750.
31:54So, top up those timers.
31:59So, this head-to-head is all about staying in control as your opponent's money drains away.
32:06So, I'm going to ask you questions on a particular category which will change every five questions.
32:12Answer correctly and your opponent's timer will start to count down.
32:16If you keep buzzing in and answering correctly, then your opponent's timer will speed up.
32:21But if you buzz in and get one wrong or if your opponent buzzes in with the right answer,
32:25then their timer will stop and yours will start instead.
32:28Are you ready?
32:30Yes.
32:31Ready.
32:32So, your first set of questions start in Harry Potter.
32:37Mark, that says it all.
32:41Not seen one, not read one.
32:43No chance.
32:44Ooh.
32:45Sarah?
32:46Mmm, a tiny bit.
32:48Oh.
32:49Well, a tiny bit is quite a lot more than what Mark's got.

37:59Mark, I didn't dare look up, but my word, I just felt the excitement come radiating out
38:04of you.
38:05Yeah, that was a godsend.
38:06Our football fanatic father.
38:07Absolutely.
38:08How tough was Sarah as an opponent?
38:10She was brilliant and I was nervous at that point.
38:13Yeah.
38:14I was really scared.
38:15She was.
38:16She was absolutely brilliant.
38:17Sarah, you were so close to the final, but unfortunately we do have to say goodbye.
38:23Sarah, you're out of time and you're out of money.
38:34Well, that was a nail-biting head-to-head.
38:36Join me after the break as Mark plays to win all of the cash he saved if he can stop all
38:41of the money timers.
38:42APPLAUSE
38:43Welcome back to Time Is Money, where Mark is about to take on his biggest challenge yet.
39:02Now, congratulations, Mark, our football fanatic father, making it all the way through to the final.
39:08I know, it's amazing.
39:09Must feel good.
39:10Feels great.
39:11They were tough contestants, so I'm so proud to get this far.
39:13Do you know, it's been a really nail-biting game so far.
39:17But do you know what?
39:19I'm rooting for you.
39:20So now is your chance to win all the money that you saved earlier on in the game.
39:25So let's bring back your previous money timers.
39:28In round one, you saved £420.
39:32You had a great round in round two, the full house at £1,250.
39:37In round three, you saved £730.
39:41And in that last head-to-head, you saved another £350.
39:46Now, in our final, time really is money.
39:50So your timers are about to start counting down simultaneously.
39:54If any hits zero, then you're going home with nothing.
39:57But before you take this on, you've got the chance to top up your timers one last time with up to £2,000.
40:06There are five questions, which means there's five chances to top up your timers.
40:11But get one wrong, and your highest timer will lock.
40:14Are you ready?
40:15Ready.
40:16Let's play.
40:21In the name of the pizza, quattro formaggi translates from Italian as for what?
40:26Jesus.
40:27Correct. Top up the timers.
40:29Which world-famous cathedral is situated atop Ludgate Hill in London?
40:35Canterbury. It's not cathedral.
40:39It's incorrect.
40:40Lock the highest timer. It's St Paul's Cathedral.
40:51Pass.
40:52It's incorrect.
40:54Lock the highest timer. It's the worst witch.
41:03The equator.
41:04Is correct.
41:05Is correct. Top up the timers.
41:07In 2025, who won a Best Actress Oscar for her role in the film Honora?
41:15Keira Knightley. No idea.
41:16It's incorrect.
41:17Lock the highest timer. It's Mikey Madison.
41:21Well, you've still got a little bit there into those timers.
41:24So our lowest timer is currently sitting at 550.
41:28Now, still a lot of money that you could be winning there, Mark.
41:31A lot of money.
41:32OK, so if you win, what's the plan to spend the money?
41:35The plan is to go in a cage and go down with the Great White Sharks.
41:39Really?
41:40Absolutely.
41:41I was not expecting that, Mark.
41:43Well, let's do our best to try and get you as much of this money as we can.
41:48It's time for the final.
41:50Your timers are about to start counting down simultaneously.
41:53You must take on the timers one by one by answering a question correctly to stop them.
41:59But get one wrong and the most recently stopped timer will restart.
42:03If you can stop all four timers before any of them hit zero,
42:08then you will take on whatever money remains.
42:11But if any of them hit zero, the game will end and you'll leave with nothing.
42:16And just to warn you, those timers will speed up every 30 seconds.
42:21OK.
42:22So, Mark, which timer would you like to start at?
42:25Four.
42:26Timer number four.
42:28Are you ready?
42:29Ready.
42:30Best of luck.
42:31Let's do it.
42:32Start the timers.
42:34The name of which cosmetic used to give colour to the cheeks
42:37is also the French word for red?
42:39Blush.
42:40Incorrect.
42:41Rouge.
42:43Lesotho is entirely surrounded by which other country?
42:47Us.
42:48Incorrect.
42:49It's South Africa.
42:50A Cornish mansion called Manderley is the setting for which 1938 novel
42:55by Daphne du Maurier?
42:58Gone blank.
43:00It's Rebecca.
43:01Rebecca.
43:02Which Polish-born scientist was the first person to win two Nobel Prizes?
43:08Madam Keurig.
43:09Correct.
43:10Stop the timer.
43:11Where next?
43:12One.
43:13With hits including Shuri and Walk Like a Man, which group was fronted by Frankie Valli?
43:19The holidays.
43:20Incorrect.
43:21It's the Four Seasons.
43:22Four Seasons.
43:23That question is going to haunt you, Mark.
43:24I know.
43:25It's the time pressures, isn't it?
43:26It is.
43:27It's the time pressures.
43:28It's the time pressures, isn't it?
43:29It is.

43:36It's the time pressure.
43:37It's the time.
43:38It's the time pressure.
43:39It's the time pressure.
43:40It's the time pressure, I think.
43:41Think of how much pressure you've had in the rest of the game and you've only worried about
43:58one timer.
43:59Now all of a sudden you've got to look at four timers counting down and that pressure is a
44:02lot to handle.
44:03Yeah.
44:04You did brilliant though.
44:05I came with nothing.
