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.
00:35The trick is keeping hold of it.
00:37Let's meet our five players, all hoping to last the longest today.
00:41As this is the quickest quiz,
00:43can you sum yourself up in just three words?
00:45I'm Louis, and I'm a crew-singing showjumper.
00:47I'm Millie, I'm a panda-loving lifeguard.
00:50I'm Abderrahim, I'm a competitive wheelchair basketballer.
00:53I'm Gerpal, and I'm a business-owning trendsetter.
00:55I'm Steph, and I'm a sleep specialist supermum.
00:58Wow, what a line-up we've got in today.
01:01Louis, a crew-singing showjumper.
01:04That's right. I've been singing on cruise ships for 15 years now.
01:07Wow.
01:08And in my spare time, I've competitively showjumped my horses at home.
01:11Fantastic. And you just got all over the world on the cruise ships?
01:14All over. I've been round the world seven times.
01:16Oh, my word, that is incredible.
01:18Yep.
01:19And Abderrahim, a competitive basketballer.
01:22What position do you play in?
01:23Oh, I'm a guard.
01:24Fantastic. And you play competitively?
01:26I played the Commonwealth Games in 2022.
01:29We got a bronze medal.
01:30So we've got a bronze medalist in our midst.
01:33That is impressive.
01:35So does that mean you're going to be all right at the sports rounds as well?
01:37I really hope so.
01:38Oh.
01:39Well, it's great to have you all with us.
01:41Let's play Time Is Money.
01:43In front of each of you is your money timer.
01:49An hourglass that we're filling with cash that you could be taking home.
01:53For round one, you're going to start with £1,000.
01:57Let's top up the timers.
02:02But in this game, time is money.
02:04So the trick is keeping hold of it.
02:07If you can't get a question right, your money will count down coin by coin.
02:12And if you run out of money, your time in the game is up.
02:15Now, our first set of questions is all about...
02:25Mixed reactions across the board there.
02:27This one could be interesting, OK?
02:29So I'm going to give you the name of a band or artist followed by a single
02:33that they took to number one in the UK chart.
02:37The last word in each single is missing from its title.
02:40I'd like you to give me the missing word that completes it.
02:44There are up to ten questions to answer in each category.
02:48This first question is crucial because the player who gives me the right answer
02:52will stop their money timer from counting down for now.
02:56So get ready on your buzzers.
02:59Here is your first question.
03:04The Buggles video killed the radio blank.
03:07Steph.
03:07Star.
03:09Is correct.
03:11So, Steph, great start.
03:12You're safe for now.
03:14The rest of you, your timers are going to start counting down
03:17at a rate of £10 a second.
03:20You must buzz in correctly to stop your timer,
03:23but an incorrect answer costs £50.
03:25Steph, if you buzz in before the others with a right answer,
03:29you will speed up their timers, potentially sending them out of the game sooner.
03:33But an incorrect answer will restart your own timer.
03:37Are you all ready?
03:38Yes.
03:39Let's start the timers.
03:41Belinda Carlisle, Hevel is a place on blank.
03:43Louie.
03:44Earth.
03:44Is correct.
03:45The Hollies, he ain't heavy, he's my...
03:48Steph.
03:49Brother.
03:49Correct, speed up the timers.
03:50Take that, how deep is your blank?
03:52Millie.
03:53Love.
03:53Love is correct.
03:55Marvin Gaye, I heard it through the blank.
03:57Louie.
03:58Great vine.
03:58Correct, speed up the timers.
04:00Meghan Trainor, all about that blank.
04:02I'm Derahim.
04:03Bass.
04:04Correct.

04:09Correct, speed up the timer.

04:18Correct, speed up the timer.
04:19Ricky Martin, living La Vida blank.
04:21Louie.
04:21Loka.
04:22It's correct.
04:24And that is the end of the category, girl pal, you will be thrilled to hear.
04:30Shocking.
04:30Were you trying to buzz in?
04:32Yeah, I think there were a couple that I did, but just not quick enough, unfortunately.
04:35These guys are quick.
04:37How did it feel when they were all, like, out to get you speeding up your timer?
04:41Listen, it's part of the game, isn't it? So, I understand.
04:43Guys, that was brutal.
04:45It's his first question.
04:46Now I can breathe.
04:49Breathing a sigh of relief there, Louie. You were going for it there.
04:51Trying to just get it out there.
04:53It's time for a comeback now, girl pal.
04:55Comeback king.
04:56Yes, come on, the comeback king. Yes, let's have it.
04:58So, our next set of questions is all about European airports.
05:05I'm going to give you the official three-letter IATA codes for airports across Europe.
05:11Please give me the capital city they serve.
05:13OK?
05:14So, we've seen how important this first question is.
05:17Get this right and your money won't count down.
05:21Come on, girl pal.
05:22Let's do it.
05:22Yeah? OK, you're all on the buzzer.
05:24Here is your first question.
05:29D-U-B.
05:30I'm Durham.
05:31Dublin.
05:32Is correct.
05:35So, I'm Durham.
05:37You're safe for now.
05:38The rest of you, you are all back on the buzzers.
05:42Let's start the timers.
05:43B-E-R.
05:45Louis. Berlin.
05:46Correct.

06:26I'm Dereham.
06:27Vienna.
06:28It's correct.
06:29And that is the end of the category.
06:33Gurpal, you weren't kidding when you called yourself the comeback king.
06:36Same.
06:37Made a bold claim.
06:39You did make a bold claim, but my word, you lived up to it.
06:42Tried to.
06:42You were there.
06:43Buzz in.
06:44Send the timers quick air.
06:46Send them home.
06:46Let's level the playing field.
06:48I feel it is.
06:48It's my thing.
06:49I can see.
06:50So, does it feel good to get your own back on them a bit?
06:53I feel a bit bad, because obviously, you know.
06:55But it's part of the game, like I said before.
06:56Aww.
06:57Lovely girl pal there feels terrible.
07:00It's just part of the game, though.
07:01Millie, how are you feeling?
07:03A little bit at risk now.
07:03I'm not good with geography.
07:04It's not my best subject.
07:06Well, there's still time to turn it around.
07:08It is not over till the last coin drops.
07:12Yes.
07:12OK.
07:13Our next set of questions is all about combined words.
07:18So, I will give you two words.
07:20Please tell me the single term that is commonly used
07:23when those two words are combined.
07:26So, for example, if the clues were glamorous and camping,
07:30the answer would be glamping.
07:32Oh, OK.
07:33Yes, right.
07:34So, you are all on the buzzer.
07:35Here is that all-important first question.
07:38There are a few of you who could really do with this now, OK?
07:43Breakfast and lunch.
07:46Millie.
07:46Brunch.
07:47Is correct.
07:48Oh, she pulled out the bag when she needed to.
07:50I'm sweating.
07:51Whoo!
07:53Right.
07:54So, Millie, you're safer now.
07:56Yes.
07:56You are all on the buzzers.
07:59Start the timers.
08:00Smoke and fog.
08:02Millie.
08:03Smog.
08:04Correct.
08:04Speed up the timers.

08:12Motel.
08:12Correct.

08:17Oh, I was going to say situation shit.
08:18Incorrect.
08:19It's sitcom.
08:20Moose 50 pounds.
08:21Jeans and leggings.
08:23Millie.

08:25Speed up the timers.
08:26Stay and vacate.
08:29Oh, no way.
08:31Hero to zero.
08:33Oh, no way.
08:34Oh.
08:34Stay and vacation, would you have got it?
08:36Staycation?
08:37Yeah.
08:38What a shame.
08:39Can't believe it.
08:40Literally, our top performing player.
08:42Oh, no.
08:43To being the one who's out.
08:44That is the game, guys.
08:46Fortunes can change in an instant.
08:49You've been a great player, though.
08:51You've been brilliant, but sadly, it means we're going to have to say goodbye.
08:54Bye, guys.
08:55See you.
08:55Bye.
08:56Good luck.
08:57Steph, you're out of time and you're out of money.
09:04So, the rest of you, well done, I'm making it through to the next round.
09:08That's awful.
09:09And girl, pal, are you surprised to be here?
09:12No, I knew I was going to be here.
09:13No, I'm joking.
09:14No, I'm joking.
09:15I love that little bit of an air of confidence.
09:17Live life on the edge, you know how it is.
09:19If you are living life on the edge, I'm not sure my blood pressure is going to be able to cope with this episode.
09:24My word, that was tight.
09:27Well, the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final for you,
09:30whichever of you makes it there.
09:32So, let's see what you've saved.
09:34Louie, what a start.
09:35£790.
09:37Well done.
09:38I think it's beginner's luck.
09:40We'll find out.
09:41Millie, £280.
09:43Great start.
09:44Still here.
09:44Still in.
09:45Abderrahim, £430.
09:47Solid start to that round.
09:49Girl, pal, 20 quid.
09:50He's still here.
09:51Petrol home.
09:54So, let's save that money for later.
09:56It's now time for round two.
10:00This time, there's more cash to play with.
10:03In this round, it's £1,250.
10:07Let's top up those timers.
10:08As this is round two, you don't just get one clue to the answer.
10:15You're going to get two.
10:17Our first set of questions is about US presidents and vice presidents.
10:23I will give you the name of a US vice president and the first name, or first name and initial, if that's how they're known, of the president they served under.
10:34Please give me the president's surname.
10:36Abderrahim, not feeling too good about this one.
10:39On the edge.
10:40On the edge.
10:41He's living life on the edge right now, folks.
10:43Exactly, exactly.
10:44Millie, you didn't look too chuffed when this came out.
10:46No.
10:49Awful.
10:50Louis, this could be your round then.
10:51Oh, I don't know.
10:52I don't want to speak too soon.
10:54OK, time is money.
10:58So here is your first question.
11:02Kamala Harris and Joe.
11:04Abderrahim.
11:05Biden.
11:05Is correct, which means you're safe for now.
11:09You are all on the buzzers.
11:11Let's start the timers.
11:12Al Gore and Bill.
11:15Millie.
11:16Clinton.
11:16Correct.
11:17Mike Pence and Donald.
11:19Louis.
11:20Trump.
11:20Is correct.
11:22Dick Cheney and George W.
11:24Go, pal.
11:25Bush.
11:26Is correct.
11:28Well, that was a great short round.
11:30What were we all stressing?
11:32What were we all stressing about?
11:34That went too bad.
11:35Nothing to worry about at all.
11:36It's very level at the moment, but who will falter first?
11:40Find out after the break.
11:41Welcome back to Time Is Money, as our players have just found out their money is never safe in
11:58this game.
11:59So that first one was close.
12:01Let's see how you get on with our next set of questions.
12:04They are all about things that are third in a sequence.
12:09So I will give you the subject of a list and then two things that occur consecutively in that list.
12:14Please give me the third item that would immediately follow each pair.
12:19Right.
12:20You are all on the buzzers.
12:22Here is that all-important first question.
12:27Greek alphabet.
12:28Alpha and Beta.
12:29Abderrahim.
12:31Omega.
12:32Incorrect.
12:32It's gamma.
12:35So, Abderrahim, your money timer will be counting down.
12:39The rest of you, here is your next question.

13:44I was starting to get a bit nervous for you there, Millie.
13:46I'm shaking, Sue.
13:47And you said that one really quite...
13:50X, as if, like, is it an X?
13:52I didn't know, I just guessed.
13:53You just guessed, well, hey, it was worth a guess.
13:55Yes.
13:56You've lost quite a bit of money there, though, down to 750.
14:00Well, this next set of questions is all about drama and comedy stars.
14:06I'm going to give you the name of a character in a drama and a character in a comedy that have been played by the same actor or actress on TV.
14:14Please name them.
14:16Abderrahim, you didn't look too chuffed when this one came out.
14:20I'm not that big into TV.
14:24Could be a problem.
14:25Louie, you look excited for this one.
14:26Oh, no.
14:27It's going to be very hit or miss.
14:29OK.
14:30Let's hope it's more the hitting than the missing.
14:32Let's hope so.
14:33Now, you all know how important this first question is, OK?
14:36You're all on the buzzer.
14:37Here is your first question.
14:39D.I. Jack Frost in A Touch of Frost and Derek Trotter in Only Fills and Horses.
14:45Gurpal.
14:46David Jason.
14:46It's correct.
14:49Comeback King is getting ready, flexing his muscles.
14:53So, Gurpal, you're safe for now.
14:55OK.
14:56You are all back on the buzzers.
14:58Start the timers.
14:59Pauline Fowler in EastEnders and Miss Brahms in Are You Being Served?
15:05Too slow, it's Wendy Richard.

16:12Too slow, it's Richard Briars.
16:14And that is the end of the category.
16:16Brutal, man.
16:17I mean, you weren't kidding after him when you said you don't watch a lot of telly.
16:21If it was American stuff, I think I would have been all right,
16:23but that felt like it was going on for days.
16:25But what maybe is a little bit good is it wasn't everybody else's best round either.
16:30No.
16:30So it's not like you had someone dominating trying to take you down.
16:33So it could have been a lot worse.
16:34And you know what?
16:35It is not over till the last coin drops as someone to your left has taught you well.
16:42Watch and learn.
16:44Watch out with the shocker next one.
16:47That was brilliant.
16:48Well, this next set of questions is all about land borders.
16:56How's your geography, Abdurahim?
16:58I feel like I can gain back a bit of land on this one.
17:00Oh, I see what he did there. Nice.
17:04So I'm going to give you the name of a country that has a land border with only one other country.
17:09I'd like you to tell me the name of that country, please.
17:12I'll give you the initial letter or letters of the country's name.
17:15So, Louis, you must be feeling good about this one.
17:19Geography was my worst subject at school.
17:21You've just told me you've been around the world seven times.
17:25I know, on a boat.
17:26Yeah, a lot of ports, but nowhere inland.
17:28Here, you're all on the buzzers.
17:30You know how important this first one is.
17:32Here it comes.
17:35Portugal and X.
17:36Abdurahim.
17:37Spain.
17:38It's correct.
17:38He pulled it out the bag when he needed to.
17:41Gurpal, you taught him well.
17:42Unfortunately, too well.
17:43Off to that title.
17:44So, Abdurahim, you're safe for now.
17:47You are all back on the buzzers.
17:50Let's start the timers.

18:42You will be really thrilled to hear there, Millie.
18:44Geography is not my thing.
18:46I've realised that.
18:47Yeah, I think we all have.
18:49But it is not over till that last coin drops.
18:53OK.
18:54This next set of questions could be the one that changes the game.
18:58And it's all about singers known by one name.
19:03Oh, Millie looks a bit relieved about that.
19:05LAUGHTER
19:05Better than geography.
19:08Right.
19:08I'm going to give you the titles of songs.
19:12These are all by female singers who are best known by a one-word name.
19:16I'll also give you the date that the song was first ended in the UK charts
19:20and the initial of the singer.
19:22Please tell me the name of the singer.
19:25Millie, I'm sure you don't need me to tell you,
19:26but this first question now would be a great time to pull it out of the bag.
19:30Yep.
19:30Yep.
19:31You are all on the buzzers.

19:50Are you no call floor, 1988 and E.
19:55Too slow, it's Enya.
19:57If I could turn back time, 1989.
20:03Did you know that one, Millie?
20:04No, but I thought if I buzz in, I might figure it out by the time I answer.
20:08And have you figured it out?
20:10Um...
20:11Tell me what time...
20:12I know it.
20:13I know it.
20:14I know it.
20:15I know it.

20:21You put up a good fight.
20:23You've been a great player and you made it through to round two.
20:26Mm-hmm.
20:27So, it's not too bad.
20:28That was my goal.
20:29There you go.
20:30Well, you achieved what you set out to achieve.
20:31Mm-hmm.
20:32Unfortunately, though, it does mean we're going to have to say goodbye.
20:37Millie, you're out of time and you're out of money.
20:40APPLAUSE
20:42To the rest of you, well done on making it through to the next round.
20:48Oh, thank you.
20:48Go, pal.
20:49We've made a massive improvement on our last round savings.
20:52Yeah, 100%.
20:53Yes.
20:53Yeah, definitely, that's good.
20:54Well, the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final,
20:57whoever makes it there.
20:59So, let's have a look at what you've all saved.
21:01Louis, clinging on there with £210.
21:05That was not a good round for me.

38:52Your luck can change.
38:53Everything can change in an instant in this game.
38:56Yeah.
38:57My word, I did not see that coming.
38:59Adirahim, were you hugely relieved when that category came out and he was struggling a little
39:04bit with the authors and the books?
39:06Massively.
39:06But I would have also, it could have been a killer for me.
39:09Do you know, that's it.
39:10You just had to watch your money drip away, Garpal.
39:13Oh, it must have been soul destroying.
39:15Well, you played a great game.
39:17And do you know what, Garpal?
39:18You've been a fantastic player and we have loved having you.
39:21You've brought the energy and brought the positivity.
39:23Thank you very much.
39:24You're so close to the final, but unfortunately, we're going to have to say goodbye.
39:30Oh, Garpal, you're out of time and you're out of money.
39:39The pressure is really ramping up.
39:41Join me after the break as Abderrahim plays to win all the cash he's saved,
39:45if he can stop all the money timers.
39:48Welcome back to Time Is Money, where Abderrahim is about to take on his biggest challenge yet.
40:05Congratulations, Abderrahim.
40:08You must be thrilled to be here.
40:10I've stumbled.
40:11I don't know how I'm here, but ready to go.
40:13Well, you've staved off some fierce competition, I have to say.
40:17Now's your chance to win all of the money that you've saved earlier in the game.
40:21Let's bring back your previous money timers.
40:24So, in round one, you saved £430.
40:28In round two, it was £270.
40:33Round three was that one we're not talking about, but we've got £100 from round three.
40:37And in the head-to-head, you've just saved £520.
40:44Now, in our final, time really is money.
40:47Your timers are about to start counting down simultaneously.
40:51If any hits zero, you'll be going home with nothing.
40:53But before you take this on, you've got the chance to top up your timers one last time with up to £2,000.
41:02There are five questions and five chances to top up your timers.
41:06But get one wrong, and your highest timer will lock.
41:10Are you ready?
41:11Very ready.
41:12Let's play.
41:17An advent calendar is traditionally used to count down the days leading up to which annual celebration?
41:22Christmas.
41:23It's correct.
41:24Top up the timers.
41:25When used in English, which French phrase, meaning blank paper, refers to the complete freedom for a person to do as they wish?
41:38Too slow.
41:39It's carte blanche.
41:40Lock the highest timer.
41:43Outlook, Teams and Excel are computer apps by which major US technology company?
41:48Microsoft.
41:49It's correct.
41:50Top up the timers.
41:51First broadcast in 1995, which long-running Channel 4 soap is mainly set in a fictional suburb of Chester?
42:02Coronation Street?
42:03Incorrect.
42:04It's Hollyoaks.
42:05Lock the highest timer.
42:08What is the surname of the runner Eilish and her mother Liz, who both won Commonwealth gold for Scotland in the 10,000 metres?
42:18Murray.
42:18Incorrect.
42:19It's McColgan.
42:20Lock the highest timer.
42:24Well, I think it's safe to say we could have done with that being a little bit better, but you have got timer three up to £300, which is a lot better than the 100 it was at.
42:33Yeah.
42:34Still a decent amount of money there.
42:36If you win, what are you going to spend the money on?
42:38Erm, I feel like I might put it towards a car.
42:40Oh, well, I'm rooting for you.
42:42Right, it's time for the final.
42:44Your timers are about to start counting down simultaneously.
42:48You must take on your timers one by one by answering a question correctly to stop them.
42:53But get one wrong, and the most recently stopped timer will restart.
42:58If you can stop all four timers before any of them hit zero, then you will walk away with whatever money remains.
43:05But if any of them hit zero, the game will end and you will leave with nothing.
43:10And just to warn you, the timers will speed up every 30 seconds.
43:15So, Abderrahim, which timer would you like to start at?
43:19Timer three, please.
43:20Timer three.
43:21Excellent.
43:22Are you ready?
43:23Yes.
43:24Best of luck.
43:25Start the timers.
43:33Five.
43:33Correct.
43:34Stop the timer.
43:34Where next?
43:35Er, can I go to two, please?
43:45Pass.
43:46Too slow, it's gluten.
43:47Start the timer.
43:48Claire de Lune is a well-known piece of work by which French composer?
43:55Too slow, it's Claude Debussy.
43:58Leche is the Spanish word for which dairy product?
44:01Correct.
44:01Stop the timer.
44:02Where next?
44:02It's free.
44:04The title character in the 1960s American TV series Flipper was what?
44:11Was what marine animal?
44:14Do you know what Flipper was?
44:15No.
44:16No.
44:16No.
44:17It was a dolphin.
44:18Ah.
44:19You just didn't quite have enough in timer three to be able to afford to get anything wrong at the beginning there.
44:26Yeah.
44:27Oh, that was so destroying.
44:29So close, but you gave it a really good go.
44:33You have to have quite the nerve to answer questions while you're watching your money run down like that,
44:38don't you?
44:39Very much so.
44:40It's another level when there's all four of them going this and then you've got to think about where to go next.
44:44Too much going on.
44:45A lot going on.
44:46Well, listen, just to have got through to the final is a huge achievement given the level of competition we've had in the show.
44:54You should be really proud of yourself.
44:56And we can't let you go home empty handed.
44:59You are going to be taking home our very coveted time is money coin.
45:02Sweet, perfect.
45:03Sweet, yes.
45:06Oh, thanks for playing.
45:07I'm Dariam, you've been a brilliant contestant.
45:10Cheers.
45:11And that's it for the day.
