00:00Welcome to Timers Money, the fastest quiz on TV,
00:25where five players are about to be given thousands of pounds before they answer a single question.
00:31But in this game, it's not about getting the money. The trick is keeping hold of it.
00:36Let's meet our five players all hoping to last longest today.
00:40As this is the quickest quiz, can you sum yourself up in just three words?
00:45I'm Anthony. I'm an accident-prone optimist.
00:47I'm Ed. I'm an animated adventurous dad.
00:50I'm Marlena. I'm a caring bossy brainiac.
00:53I'm Ye Ling, a pen-collecting mum.
00:55I'm Emma, a baking F1 obsessive.
00:57Wow, what a line-up today.
01:00Ed, do tell me, animated adventure dad.
01:05How old are the kids?
01:0711 and 13.
01:08And are you just like super cool, super fun dad then?
01:11Well, I like to think that. I'm sure they may disagree.
01:13But yeah, I like to think I'm the coolest.
01:15So what sort of adventurous stuff do you like to do with them?
01:17I've recently done some indoor skydiving with them.
01:19What?
01:20I like to go out on some trekking trails and things like that.
01:22Yeah, love stuff like that.
01:23Oh, you're not kidding, are you not?
01:24No.
01:25Craig, I hope my kids aren't watching.
01:26I'm going to have to up my game.
01:28I thought I was the adventurous, seeking, fun mum.
01:31And Marlena, caring and bossy. How does that work?
01:35I'm not too sure. I'm definitely caring.
01:37I've got two little girls.
01:38Oh, how long are the girls?
01:39They are one and a half and four and a half.
01:42Oh, to be honest, it's a wonder you get a word in then, let alone being bossy.
01:45Yeah.
01:46Sometimes you've got to be a bit bossy.
01:47I'm definitely not the fun parent.
01:49But we're also a big family and I'm definitely caring for a lot of them.
01:54Oh, I love it.
01:55And a brainiac.
01:56You guys want to watch out.
01:57She's set a stall out there.
01:59She's going to be the one to watch.
02:01Well, it's great to have you all with us.
02:03Let's play Time Is Money.
02:05In front of each of you is your money timer.
02:11An hourglass that we're filling with cash that you could take home.
02:15For round one, you start with £1,000.
02:18Top up those timers.
02:23But in this game, time is money.
02:26So the trick is keeping hold of it.
02:28If you can't get a question right, your money will count down coin by coin.
02:33And if you run out of money, your time in the game is up.
02:37Our first set of questions is all about Elvis Presley singles.
02:45Yee Ling.
02:46I saw that.
02:47It's Elvis Presley, not your kind of bag.
02:49It's my husband's kind of bag, but definitely not mine.
02:52Well, let's hope a little bit of it might have rubbed off on you.
02:56OK, so I'm going to give you the title of a UK top ten single by Elvis Presley
03:00that is missing the final word.
03:03I'd like you to tell me the word that completes the title.
03:06This is according to the official charts website.
03:09This includes songs that are collaborations where Elvis is a named artist.
03:13There are up to ten questions to answer in each category.
03:17This first question is crucial because the player who gives me the right answer
03:22will stop their money timer from counting down for now.
03:26So, get ready on your buzzers.
03:28Here is your first question.
03:33Jailhouse blank, Ed.
03:35Rock.
03:36Is correct.
03:37So, Ed, you're safe for now.
03:40The rest of you, your timers are about to start counting down
03:44at a rate of £10 a second.
03:46You must buzz in correctly to stop your timer,
03:49but an incorrect answer costs £50.
03:52Ed, if you buzz in before the others with a right answer,
03:56you will speed up their timers, potentially sending them out of the game sooner.
04:00For an incorrect answer, start your own timer.
04:03Start the timers.
04:04It's now all blank.
04:05Emma.
04:06Never.
04:07Correct.
04:08All shook blank.
04:09Ed.
04:10Up.
04:11Correct.
04:12Speed up the timers.
04:13Hard help falling in blank.
04:14Anthony.
04:15Love.
04:16Correct.
04:17Pound blank.
04:18Marlena.

04:24Correct.
04:25Speed up the timer.
04:26Crying in the blank.
04:27Healing.
04:28Wind.
04:29Is incorrect, it's chapel.
04:30Lose £50.
04:32Suspicious blank.
04:33Ed.
04:34Mines.
04:35Correct.
04:36Speed up the timer.
04:37The Wonder of blank.
04:38Ed.
04:39You.
04:40Correct.
04:41Speed up the timer.
04:42Are you lonesome blank?
04:43Anthony.
04:44Tonight.
04:45Is correct.
04:46And that is the end of the category.
04:48You will be thrilled to hear healing.
04:50Oh my goodness.
04:52I know.
04:53I mean it's pretty stressful as it is anyway.
04:55But when these guys down the end start ganging up on you.
04:58Oh.
04:59They're so mean.
05:00They are so mean.
05:01They are so mean.
05:02You are so mean boys.
05:04You are so mean.
05:05Ed.
05:06You in particular.
05:07I was like going for it.
05:08Going for it.
05:09Going for it.
05:10Speed up ye lings timer.
05:12Yeah.
05:13Cut throat.
05:14What can I say.
05:15How does it feel.
05:16When you are watching that timer tick down.
05:18And then you hear it getting faster and faster.
05:21It doesn't feel very nice Sarah.
05:23I have to say.
05:24Even less nice if you think you know the answer.
05:26But they are too quick on it.
05:27They are too quick.
05:28Oh no.
05:29Is that the thing.
05:30Could you just not get in there quick enough.
05:31Not quick enough.
05:32Not quick enough.
05:33Well do you know what.
05:34This next set of questions might be your chance to get your own back on these two down the end.
05:38Our next set of questions is all about knights and dames.
05:42I am going to give you the first name of someone who has received a knighthood or damehood
05:48and the reason they were given the honour.
05:50I will also tell you the year that each knighthood or damehood was officially awarded.
05:55Please tell me the person's surname.
05:58Got that deadpan look going on their eye.
06:01Oh no.
06:02A little bit of a smile is coming through.
06:05You have seen how important this first question is.
06:08You are all on the buzzes.
06:12For services to motorsports.
06:14Lewis.
06:152000.
06:16Emma.
06:17Hamilton.
06:18Is correct.
06:19Didn't even need the year she was in there.
06:21Speedy Gonzales.
06:22I am being safe.
06:23I mean you are our F1 obsessive.
06:25Exactly.
06:26I have not shamed myself.
06:27There you go.
06:28Would have been embarrassing if you got that one wrong.
06:30Yeah.
06:31But we are all good.
06:32Excellent.
06:33So Emma you are safer now.
06:34You are all back on the buzzes.
06:36Let's start the timers.

07:22Ye Ling.
07:23Bernersley.
07:24It's correct.
07:26Oh.
07:29Well done Ye Ling.
07:31Oh my goodness.
07:33Do you know what we say in this show?
07:35It is not over till the last coin drops.
07:39And it hasn't dropped.
07:41So it's definitely not over.
07:43My word, that was about as close as it comes though.
07:46Did you know a few of those others and just couldn't get in in time?
07:49A few but to be fair, a few of them have been guesses for me.
07:52So I'm glad I waited till the last minute there.
07:54Well.
07:55Well done.
07:56Anthony, you're staying very calm and collected at the end there.
08:00I didn't feel it.
08:02Like a swan.
08:03Like a swan.
08:04It looks great from what we can see Anthony.
08:06Fantastic.
08:07Our next set of questions is all about title characters.
08:13So I will give you the name of an author and the first name of a character that appears in the title of at least one of that author's books.
08:23I need you to give me the surname of the character.
08:26Oh.
08:27Oh.
08:28Anthony.
08:29I'm sure you don't need me to tell you this but this next question could turn this whole game around for you.
08:34Because the player who answers this one right, their timer will not start counting down.
08:39You are all on the buzzer.
08:42Here's that first question.
08:43Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock.
08:47Anthony.
08:48Holmes.
08:49Is correct.
08:50Oh.
08:51He just beat you two at Ye Ling.
08:54So close.
08:55So Anthony.
08:56You're safe for now.
08:57You are all on the buzzers.
08:59Let's start the timers.
09:00Charlotte Bronte and Jane.
09:02Ye Ling.
09:03Oh.
09:04Pass.
09:05Very.
09:06Oh.
09:07It just wasn't quite enough time.
09:10Mm-hmm.
09:11To get that whole question in.
09:12Mm-hmm.
09:13Know the answer, Charlotte Bronte and Jane?
09:15Err.
09:16It would have been right but unfortunately it just wasn't quite in time.
09:22Oh, Ye Ling.
09:23You put up a good fight there and it just didn't go your way with the questions.
09:27Everyone's so quick on the buzzers.
09:29I've been great players so have a lot of fun.
09:31They are.
09:32Well, you've been brilliant but sadly it does mean we're going to have to say goodbye.
09:34Thank you so much.
09:35Ye Ling, you're out of time and you're out of night.
09:39But the rest of you, well done on making it through the next round.
09:44Yes, Emma.
09:45Breathe that sigh of relief.
09:46What's your sigh about, Ed?
09:47You weren't nailing that.
09:48I think I was trying desperately to be as quick as possible but someone was quite quick
09:52as well next to me.
09:53Oh, he is more than quite.
09:54He is very, very quick.
09:55Bit of competition down this end.
09:56And Marlena, things are looking a little bit tense for me.
09:59Oh, he is more than quite.
10:01He is very, very quick.
10:02Bit of competition down this end.
10:04And Marlena, things are looking a little bit tense for me.
10:07Things are looking a little bit tense for you at one point.
10:10Yeah.
10:11But thankfully not quite as tense as they were for Ye Ling.
10:13No.
10:14It was a bit of a worry at first.
10:15It goes down quicker than you think.
10:16And I'm buzzing but people are a little bit faster.
10:19I just got up my game.
10:20This is the problem.
10:21You're all through to the next round.
10:23And the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final for you if you make it there.
10:28Let's see what you've saved.
10:30Anthony, £780.
10:32A brilliant start to round one.
10:34Ed, £770.
10:36Great for you as well.
10:38Marlena, £460.
10:40You've all had a good solid round.
10:42But Emma on the end there, £960.
10:45Our one to beat in round one.
10:46Well done.
10:47Let's save that money for later.
10:52It's now time for round two.
10:54This time, there's more cash to play with.
10:57In this round, it's £1,250.
11:00Top up those timers.
11:06As this is round two, you don't just get one clue to the answer, you get two.
11:11Our first set of questions is about national parks.
11:16I'm going to give you the names of two protected areas which are part of the Global Alliance of National Parks.
11:23Please give me the name of the country in which these national parks are located.
11:28Time is money, so here is our first question.
11:32Island.
11:33Is correct.
11:34With a sigh of relief there, Ed.
11:35So, Ed, you're safe for now.
11:49You are all back on the buzzers.

12:51Yes.
12:52You lost a lot of money there.
12:53I did.
12:54I live near the Peak District, so that helped.
12:56Was that stressful?
12:58Yes.
12:59Very.
13:00Yeah.
13:01I mean, Marlena.
13:02Antony.
13:03You knew your parks.
13:04There's some good stuff going down there.
13:07Were you thinking, now's my chance.
13:08We're sending her home.
13:09She's a good player, so we've got to do our best.
13:12He's right.
13:13You've got to do your best.
13:14You've got to take your chances when you've got them.
13:16Our players are putting up a good fight.
13:18But that can't last long.
13:19Join us after the break.
13:21APPLAUSE
13:31Welcome back to Time Is Money.
13:33As our players have just found out their money is never safe in this game.
13:37Good strong round up this end.
13:39Poor Emma struggling a little bit on the end.
13:41Are you sensing a little bit of weakness there?
13:43You're smirking a bit there, Ed.
13:45We just need to exploit anything we can to try and get to the next round.
13:48You guys are brutal.
13:51You really are.
13:52I think they're going for you a bit, Emma.
13:54I know, it feels like that.
13:56Our next set of questions is about famous Johns.
14:01So I'm going to give you clues to famous people,
14:04all of whom have the first name John.
14:07And I will also give you the first letter of their surname.
14:10I would like you to tell me their surname.
14:13How's your John knowledge, Emma?
14:15My dad's called John.
14:16Well, there's a brilliant start.
14:18Maybe it's meant to be.
14:20Who knows?
14:21OK.
14:22You're all on the buzzers.
14:23Here is that all-important first question.
14:28Co-wrote and starred in Fawlty Towers.
14:30C.
14:31Ed?
14:32John Cleese.
14:33Is correct.
14:35Well, Ed, that's you safe for now.
14:38You are all back on the buzzers.
14:40Let's start the timers.
14:42American singer who had a UK top ten hit in...

15:04Anthony.
15:05Williams.
15:06Well, Emma, you took a big risk there jumping in early.
15:12Yeah.
15:13I felt I needed to cut these guys off.
15:15Well, it absolutely paid off.
15:17It's brought them down a little bit.
15:19Closing the gap a little bit.
15:21Good gameplay.
15:23This next set of questions is all about famous artists.
15:27So, I'm going to give you the names of two artists.
15:30You need to tell me the present-day country in which they were both born.
15:34For avoidance of doubt, I'm looking for the modern-day country
15:38in which their birthplace is located.
15:42Emma.
15:43Tell me your dad's an artist as well.
15:45Firefighter.
15:46Oh, my God.
15:47Just really friendly.
15:48OK, you're all on the buzzer.
15:50Here is your first question.
15:51Pete Mondrian and Vincent van Gogh.
15:56Marlena.
15:57The Netherlands.
15:58Is correct.
16:00Oh, that's nice and confident with that one there, Marlena.
16:02I went to his museum last month, so...
16:05Ah!
16:06It's good knowledge to have.
16:07Really good knowledge to have.
16:09Brilliant.
16:10Well, you're safe for now.
16:11You are all back on the buzzers.
16:13Let's start the timers.
16:14Georgia O'Keeffe and Jackson Pollock.

16:31Spain.
16:32Is correct.
16:35Not a piece of paper between you four, is it not?
16:38Wow.
16:39That was pretty fast.
16:41Ed, how did it feel watching your timer count down?
16:44Not great at all.
16:45I did know a couple of the others.
16:46I just wasn't quick enough on the buzzer.
16:47That's the trick, isn't it?
16:48It is.
16:49Being beaten at your own game there a little bit.
16:51I know.
16:52Yeah, yeah.
16:53I feel a bit chastised by that.
16:54Oh, Emery's feeling chastised.
16:56It's working.
16:57Yes.
16:58Keep them coming.
16:59Keep them coming.
17:00OK, this next set of questions is all about Premier League footballers.
17:07Some good, solid nods there.
17:10So I'm going to give you the names of two footballers.
17:13I'd like you to tell me the name of the Premier League team which they have both played for.
17:17This is up to and including the 2024 and 2025 football season.
17:22They do not need to have played for the team at the same time.
17:26You're all on the buzzer.
17:27Here is your first question.
17:33David Seaman and Thierry Henry.
17:35Ed.
17:36Arsenal.
17:37Is correct.
17:38He's done it again.
17:39King of the first buzz.
17:41So you're safe again, Ed, but you are all back on the buzzers.
17:45Let's start the timers.
17:46Houghton Cole and Jared Bowen.
17:50Marlena.
17:51West Ham.
17:52Is correct.
17:54Emma.
17:55Manchester United.

18:17Virgil van Dijk and Matt Letizier.
18:18Marlena.
18:19Liverpool.
18:20Incorrect.
18:21It's Southampton.
18:24Oh, Emma.
18:25I thought that might be my undoing.
18:27Oh.
18:29Not a big football fan?
18:30No, not at all.
18:33Me neither.
18:34And they're really tricky.
18:35Yeah.
18:36When everybody else seems to be a football fan and they're just coming thick and fast and then they're all trying to gang up on you and get the questions out before you can get in there.
18:42Yeah.
18:43Oh, Emma.
18:44Oh, Emma.
18:45I'm good for you.
18:46You put up a good fight.
18:47Thanks.
18:48But it's just the way the game goes, this one unfortunately.
18:51Yeah.
18:52Well, Emma, I'm afraid your time in the game is up.
18:55You've been a brilliant player but unfortunately we'll have to say goodbye.
18:59Thank you for having me.
19:00Oh, it's been lovely.
19:01Emma, you're out of time and you're out of time.
19:05APPLAUSE
19:06But it does mean that you three are all through to the next round and you do seem quite evenly matched and we've got some cut throat players here.
19:19This could be really interesting.
19:22OK, so the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final for you if you make it there.
19:27So let's have a look at what you've saved.
19:30Anthony, £340.
19:33And goodness, Emma went when she did.
19:35Sure.
19:36Ed, £1,080.
19:38Another solid round there.
19:41And Marlera, £860.
19:43Another great performance from you.
19:45Wonderful.
19:46Let's save that money for later.
19:47It's now time for round three.
19:52And this time you're starting with £1,500 in your timers.
19:57Top up those timers.
20:02This time, because it's round three, we're giving you three clues to each answer.
20:07But as before, the cash countdown will be even faster.
20:11Our first set of questions is about...
20:17So I'm going to give you three clues to celebrities that have appeared on the ITV competition Dancing On Ice.
20:24I'll give you the year they appeared, their usual job and their first name.
20:29Please give me their surname.
20:32Time is money, so here is your first question.
20:382025 wildlife TV presenter, Michaela.
20:42Ed.
20:43Strachan.
20:44Is correct.
20:45I am going to guess that was more good luck than good knowledge of when she was on Dancing On Ice.
20:51I think it might be knowledge of children's television programmes in the 90s.
20:55Ah, there you go, you see, there you go.
20:57Did you even know she was on Dancing On Ice?
20:58I had no idea.
21:00So, Ed, you're safe for now.
21:02But you're all on the buzzers.
21:04Let's start the timers.
21:052023.

21:562021.
21:57Olympic hurdler, Colin.
21:59Ed.
22:00Jackson.
22:01Is correct.
22:02And Anthony, you'll be thrilled to hear that is the end of the Dancing on Ice category.
22:07Extremely thrilled, yep.
22:08Extremely thrilled.
22:09Well, do you know what?
22:10That one's been and come and gone and went.
22:12Our next set of questions is all about famous people.
22:17So I'm going to give you the names of three famous people from throughout history that
22:21all come from the same country.
22:24I'd like you to tell me the country.
22:27You're all on the buzzer.
22:28Here is that first question.
22:32Serge Gansborg, Joan of Arc and Kylian Mbappe.
22:35Marlena.
22:36France.
22:37Is correct.
22:38Marlena, you are safe for now.
22:41You are all on the buzzers.
22:43Let's start the timers.
22:45Enrique Caruso, Enzo, Anthony.
22:48Spain.

23:08Winnie Harlow, Tim Horton and Justin Bieber.
23:11United, Canada.
23:12It's correct.
23:15Just corrected yourself in the nick of time there.
23:19Anthony, it's quite a brutal category for you, that one.
23:22It's not been my roundest one, category-wise.
23:25Well, it's not over till the last coin drops.
23:28Mm-hmm.
23:29Shall we see what our next category is?
23:31Our next set of questions is all about five-letter words.
23:35So, I will give you three words that can all go in front of the same five-letter word to make a well-known two-word phrase.
23:43I will also give you the initial letter of the answer.
23:47Please give me the five-letter word that can come after each of those three things.
23:52For example, if I was to say loan, basking and tiger, S, the answer is shark.
24:00Lone shark, basking shark and tiger shark.
24:03You are all on the buzzer.
24:05Here is your first question.
24:08Easy, hush and pocket, M.
24:12Anthony.
24:13Money.
24:14Is correct.
24:15Right when you needed it.
24:16I needed that so badly.
24:18This could be the opportunity.
24:20You might be able to level the playing field a little bit.
24:23Take them out.
24:24Let's hope so.
24:25Or you could just sit tight.
24:27So, Anthony, you're safe for now.
24:29You are all on the buzzers.
24:31Let's start the timers.
24:36Train.
24:37Correct.
24:38Speed up the timers.
24:39Silent, mobile and roller, D.
24:41Too slow, it's disco.

25:02Marlena.
25:03Bored.
25:04Is correct.
25:06You kept your cool there, Marlena?
25:08That was harder than I thought.
25:10Yeah.
25:11It's hard to make a word that connects to all of them.
25:13It is, and it's hard because your brain's having to process
25:16four bits of information, all of the three words and the letter,
25:19and all do that under the time pressure
25:21while you're heaving the coins.
25:22No one, Anthony, over there is doing all right
25:24and he's going to send you home if he can.
25:27It's a lot to take in, isn't it?
25:28Mm-hm.
25:29But we got through it, OK?
25:32Our next set of questions is all about...
25:35Best Picture Oscar winners.
25:38So I'm going to give you the names of three actors and actresses
25:40from a film that has won the Best Picture Oscar at the Academy Awards.
25:45I'll also give you the year the film was first released.
25:48I'd like you to give me the name of the Best Picture winning film
25:51in which all three appeared.
25:53You're all on the buzzer.
25:55Here is your first question.
25:59Debbie Turner, Christopher Plummer and Julie Andrews, 1965.
26:03Ed.
26:04Sound of music.
26:05Is correct.
26:07You didn't look so sure on that one, Ed, but it was worth the punt.
26:10And it's paid off.
26:12So, Ed, you're safe for now.
26:14You're all back on the buzzers.
26:16Let's start the timers.

27:17Lose 50 pounds.
27:18Jean Hackman, Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood, 1992.
27:19Too Slow, It's Unforgiven.
27:20But that is the end of the category.
27:21That was hard. I'm so glad I got those ones right.
27:22That was hard.
27:23Wow.
27:24Anthony.
27:25I mean, my heart was in my mouth.
27:26You're not the only one.
27:27Every time I saw you buzz I thought, oh, he's brave, he's brave.
27:44I don't think I want to do that, I hope he gets it right.
27:47And you did.
27:48Phew.
27:49Were you feeling really comfortable?
27:51Were you feeling really confident about them, or...?
27:54No, not at all. And I love films, but not today.
27:57You do realise if you got any of them wrong,
27:59you would have been back in the game?
28:01Yeah, I did. Yeah, counting down.
28:03Yeah. And £30 doesn't last very long.
28:05It really doesn't, no. I mean, that was a risky game,
28:08but my word, did it pay off?
28:10Look at Marlena, she's down to £90.
28:14I had to take the risk in that category.
28:15Well, you had to take it, you went for it, and it really worked.
28:19Oh, that's levelled the playing fields a little bit between you two, Ed.
28:22Still sitting pretty up at the top there
28:24with your £1,180 in the timer.
28:27I'm still managing to find the answers when I need them.
28:30That's just all I can hope for.
28:31I mean, you two don't need me to tell you,
28:34but this next question is, like, absolutely critical.
28:38OK?
28:40So, our next set of questions is going to be all about UK attractions.
28:46So, I'm going to give you three tourist attractions
28:49or places that can be seen or visited.
28:51I want you to tell me the UK city in which they can all be found.
28:56You're all on the buzzer.
28:58Whoever gets this question, it could really turn the game around.
29:02Good luck.
29:03Here is your first question.
29:06Spinnaker Tower, Mary Rose Museum and HMS Victory.
29:10Ed...
29:12Portsmouth.
29:13..is correct.
29:15Well, of all the people who really needed them in that moment...
29:19Anthony, Marlena, you've got to be fast.
29:23You've got to be fast.
29:25You are all back on the buzzers.
29:28Let's start the timers.
29:29Albert Memorial Clock, Titanic Quarter and Ulster.
29:32Anthony... Liverpool.
29:33It's incorrect, it was Belfast.
29:35Ah.
29:36Oh, Anthony.
29:37That was close.
29:38Mm.
29:39You've played a great game.
29:40How are you feeling?
29:41Yeah, it's good.
29:42Been a good, fun day out, so I've enjoyed it.
29:43Yeah.
29:44I tell you what, mind, you're up against some stiff competition.
29:46Yeah, it feels like it.
29:47So, I think if I was you, I'd be really pleased I got as far as I did
29:50against these two.
29:51They've been a formidable duo.
29:53Unfortunately, though, it does mean that we're going to have to say goodbye.
29:56Thank you and goodbye.
29:57Anthony, you're out of time and you're out of money.
29:59APPLAUSE
30:00So, Ed and Marlena, well done on making it through to the head-to-head, Marlena.
30:17That was tight.
30:19That was really close, I was really worried.
30:21Then when he buzzed in, I knew it was Belfast and then I was hoping his money
30:25was going to run out in time.
30:27And it worked out OK.
30:29Well, the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final for you
30:33if you make it there.
30:34Let's see what you've saved.
30:36Ed, £1,180.
30:40Brilliant.
30:42Marlena, it's only 60 quid, but at least you're still here.
30:46Yep.
30:47Let's save all that money for later.
30:49We're down to two and the competition is really hunting up.
30:56Only one can make it through to our final.
30:58Don't go anywhere.
30:59APPLAUSE
31:10Welcome back.
31:11This is Time Is Money.
31:13It's been a tense game so far and we are left with just two players.
31:18Ed, Marlena, how are you feeling?
31:22Nervous.
31:24Still glad to be here after the last round.
31:26I think I'd be nervous going up against this one.
31:28He's dominated all the way through, hasn't he?
31:30He has. He's played a good game.
31:32Let's just hope I can keep it up, eh?
31:34That's what we want, just keeping it up and keeping the questions going in my favour.
31:38Well, maybe you've just peaked early.
31:41I know, there is a way back.
31:42Maybe this is Marlena's chance to get in there.
31:45Well, it's time for the head-to-head.
31:47So, we're going to top up your timers, this time with £1,750.
31:53Let's top up those timers.
31:59So, Marlena, whatever's happened before, you've got a brand-new timer.
32:03You've got £1,750.
32:05It's a clean slate.
32:07This head-to-head is all about staying in control as your opponent's money drains away.
32:13I'm going to ask you questions on a particular category, which will change every five questions.
32:19Answer correctly, and your opponent's timing will start to count down.
32:24If you keep buzzing in and answering correctly, then your opponent's timing will speed up.
32:29But if you buzz in and get one wrong, or if your opponent buzzes in with a right answer, then their timer will stop and yours will start instead.
32:37Your first set of questions start...
32:45You're both on the buzzes.

36:45With music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim was adapted as a film in 2007 by Tim Burton.
36:52Oh, it is.
36:53Ed.
36:54Don't believe it.
36:55She has taken you down.
36:56I'm not surprised.
36:57Not my categories at all there, I'm afraid.
36:58Oh.
36:59This game is so unpredictable.
37:00Look.
37:01She has just dominated there.
37:03I mean, she has really dominated.
37:06Category after category after category.
37:09Oh.
37:10This game is so unpredictable.
37:13Look.
37:14She has just dominated there.
37:17I mean, she has really dominated.
37:20Category after category after category.
37:22Yeah.
37:23I think it would have been OK if musicals hadn't come up.
37:25As soon as I saw that one, I was like, that's not my thing at all.
37:28It really wasn't.
37:30Marlene, how tough was it taking him on?
37:33Really hard.
37:34It's been a really good game and Ed played it so well.
37:37I was so worried then, especially with some of them questions.
37:41They were hard.
37:42Well, you played a really good round there.
37:45You took him on, you fought hard, you sped him up where you had the chance
37:49and it paid off.
37:52Ed?
37:53Can't believe it.
37:54I know.
37:55I'm going to have to say goodbye.
37:56It's been great.
37:58Thanks, Ed.
37:59Ed, you're out of time and you're out of money.
38:07Pressure is really ramping up.
38:08Join me after the break as Marlene plays to win all the cash that she saved
38:12if she can stop all the money timers.
38:26Welcome back to Time Is Money where Marlene is about to take on her biggest challenge yet.
38:32Congratulations, Marlene.
38:34You've made it through to the final round.
38:37I can't believe you've managed to turn things around.
38:40I mean, from round three where you were hanging on by a thread to absolutely dominating and taking out cutthroat Ed.
38:47I really thought I was going in round three and then I thought having to face Ed, I thought that's just the end of it.
38:54Just shows how fortunes can change in an instant and it isn't over till that last coin drops in this game.
39:01Now, now's your chance to win the money that you saved earlier in the game.
39:05So, let's bring back your previous money timers.
39:09So, in round one, you saved £460.
39:14In round two, that was £860.
39:17Brilliant round there in round two.
39:19Round three was that one where it was pretty tight.
39:21You only saved £60 but you still made it through.
39:25And in the head-to-head, you've just saved £670.
39:29Brilliant for a head-to-head.
39:31So, in our final, time really is money.
39:36Your timers are about to start counting down simultaneously.
39:40If any hits zero, you'll be going home with nothing.
39:43But before you take this on, you've got the chance to top up your timers one last time with up to £2,000.
39:51There are five questions and five chances to top up those timers.
39:56But get one wrong and your highest timer will lock.
39:59And I don't need to tell you how important this is for timer number three.
40:03Yeah.
40:05Are you ready? Mm-hm.
40:06OK.
40:08Let's play.
40:13What four-letter word can refer to both the centre of the earth and the centre of an apple?
40:18A core.
40:19Correct. Top up the timers.
40:21What English word from the Greek for running back again is used for a word that reads the same backwards as it does forwards?
40:32I'm not sure.

40:36Lock the highest timer.

41:00Is correct. Top up the timers.
41:01Fought in 1485, Bosworth was the decisive battle in a series of conflicts usually known by what name?
41:14I'm not sure.
41:15Too slow. It's the War of the Roses. Lock the highest timer.
41:19Well, that wasn't bad.
41:23You've still managed to get three out of them five questions right, which has made a big difference to timer three, which is now at £360.
41:31Now, that's a decent amount of money there.
41:34If you win, what are you going to spend the money on?
41:36I've got two little girls, so I'd probably like to treat them, take them away.
41:40I have a massive Lego hobby as well, and it's very expensive, so...
41:45It is.
41:46It'd be nice to get something out of that as well.
41:47Oh, that would be great.
41:48Well, let's hope you can take some of this money home.
41:51It's time for the final.
41:53Your timers are about to start counting down simultaneously.
41:57You must take on your timers one by one by answering a question correctly to stop them.
42:02But get one wrong, and the most recently stopped timer will restart.
42:05If you can stop all four timers before any of them hit zero, then you will take home whatever money remains.
42:14But if any of them hit zero, the game will end and you'll leave with nothing.
42:19And just to warn you, the timers will speed up every 30 seconds.
42:24So, Marlena, which timer would you like to start at?
42:28Number three.
42:30Number three.
42:32Are you ready?
42:33Yes.
42:34Best of luck.
42:35Start the timers.

43:37Which American president delivered the famous speech known as the Gettysburg Address?

43:44You were calm as a cucumber there.
43:51I don't know about you, but it was like...
43:54And you were just calm as anything, taking on them timers one by one, dominating.
43:59I just wanted to get past timer three, but it was so low.
44:02I was like, I just need to get past it and move on.
44:04You did it.
44:05It worked a treat.
44:06Oh, my...
44:07You've got to be pleased with that, Marlena.
44:09I'm really happy with that.
44:10Oh, what a solid performance.
44:14Do you know, how nervous were you when you restarted the timer?
44:17Nervous.
44:18It's when they go down faster, you're just keeping your eye, just thinking, I hope they
44:22don't run out, but also trying to listen to the question at the same time.
44:27It's just a mind-bending round.
44:30You've got that extra thing to think about.
44:32Which timer am I going to next?
44:33Yes.
44:34If you get it wrong, it's unlocking another timer, but then also you've got the pressure
44:38of four timers counting down instead of one.
44:40Yeah.
44:41It's hard.
44:42Well, you handled it marvellously.
