00:00Welcome to Time Is Money, the fastest quiz on TV,
00:25where 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 Tony, and I'm a theatre-loving grandpa.
00:48I'm June, and I'm a travelling bingo lover.
00:51I'm Sean, I'm a wheelchair adventure fanatic.
00:54I'm Sadim, I'm a funny singing engineer.
00:56I'm Lara, and I'm a kickboxing medical student.
00:59Ooh, a kickboxing medical student.
01:02You don't practise all that at the same time, though.
01:04Please tell me, Lara.
01:05I don't.
01:06I mean, that's about as much as I can manage.
01:09Clearly wasn't built for the kickboxing.
01:11I can teach you.
01:13That sounds good, that sounds good.
01:16And Sean, a wheelchair adventure fanatic.
01:20Where do you get adventuring?
01:22I've just come back from canoeing the Zambezi River in Africa.
01:26First three paraplegics to canoe 300 kilometres.
01:30Raised money for charity and broke a world record.
01:33Are you a world record holder as well?
01:35Yeah.
01:36You were the first person to do it.
01:38Yeah.
01:39We should have given you Mon three words.
01:41I would have totally had world record holding wheelchair
01:44adventuring fanatic if that was the case.
01:45No, but then you weren't allowed to do that.
01:47And Tony loves the theatre.
01:49What's your favourite types and genres of things to go and see?
01:53I love music.
01:54I actually spent 30 years doing musical theatre.
01:57Did you?
01:58Yes.
01:59Absolute super shows.
02:01Oh, we've got a character on our hands.
02:03Yes.
02:04Well, it's great to have you all with us.
02:06Welcome to the show.
02:07Let's play Time Is Money.
02:13In front of each of you is your money timer.
02:16An hourglass that we're filling with cash that you could be taking home.
02:20For round one, you're going to start with £1,000.
02:23Let's top up those timers.
02:30But in this game, time is money.
02:32So the trick is keeping hold of it.
02:34If you can't get a question right,
02:36your money will count down coin by coin.
02:39And if you run out of money, then your time in the game is up.
02:43Now, our first set of questions is all about...
02:53Mmm, some mixed reactions there.
02:56So I will give you a clue to which the answer will be
02:59the common name of a flower, tree or plant.
03:02Please name them.
03:03I'm looking for the name of the flower, tree or plant
03:06that is the answer to a clue and not any alternative name for it.
03:11There are up to ten questions to answer in each category.
03:15This first question is crucial.
03:17The player who gives me the right answer will stop their money timer
03:21from counting down for now.
03:24So, get ready on your buzzers.
03:26Here is your first question.
03:28Symbol of remembrance sold by the Royal British Legion.
03:34June.
03:35Rose.
03:36It's incorrect, June.
03:38It's a poppy.
03:39So, June, your money timer will be counting down.
03:45The rest of you, here is your next question.
03:49Flower of Wordsworth poem that starts,
03:53I wandered lonely as a cloud.
03:56Lara.
03:57Copies.
03:58It's incorrect.
03:59It's a daffodil.
04:01So, that is also incorrect, Lara.
04:04So, your money timer will also be counting down.
04:07Tony, Sean and Sadim, this next question is just for you three.
04:12Emblem of the England rugby teams.
04:17Sean.
04:18Red Rose.
04:19Is correct.
04:20So, Sean, you're safe for now.
04:23The rest of you, your timers are going to start counting down
04:27at a rate of £10 a second.
04:29You must buzz in correctly to stop your timer,
04:32but an incorrect answer costs £50.
04:35Sean, if you buzz in before the others with the right answer,
04:39you will speed up their timers, potentially setting them
04:42out of the game sooner.
04:43But an incorrect answer will start your own timer.
04:47Are you all ready?
04:49Yes.
04:50Yes.
04:51Let's start the timers.

05:50Sadine, have you been sent a bunch of Mission Impossibles?
05:53I have not.
05:54It's the pressure, isn't it?
05:56When you think you know an answer but you've got to remember the category we're in and everything
06:01that's going to come together.
06:03Lara, how did it feel when you're watching your timer count down and you're losing your
06:08money coin by coin?
06:09Genuinely, my heart is like out of my chest.
06:12I know.
06:13It's a lot to take on board, isn't it?
06:16There's a lot going on.
06:17Yeah.
06:18And you've got to remember time is money.
06:20So if you're like Tony over here and you're getting in quick on the buzzers, you can start
06:24and send your friends home a bit sooner.
06:26I saw what you were doing there, Tony.
06:28He knows exactly what he's doing this one.
06:31Oh, exciting.
06:32Right.
06:33Our next set of questions is all about sporting trophies.
06:39So I'm going to give you the name of a well-known trophy or prize awarded for sporting achievement.
06:45Please tell me the sport it's given in.
06:49Now, we've seen how important this first question is.

08:16I would guess tennis.
08:18Close.
08:19It's badminton.
08:20That's close.
08:21But it wouldn't have saved you.
08:22It wouldn't have saved you.
08:23My word.
08:24It was close there at the bottom between you and Sidine.
08:29Sidine, were you panicking that she might have got one there?
08:32I was, aye.
08:33I was.
08:34Definitely.
08:35And June.
08:36Oh, she's getting the hang of that buzzer now.
08:38Dark horse.
08:40Was that the strategy?
08:41Try and send them home sooner?
08:42Yeah.
08:43Yeah.
08:44Oh!
08:45I love you lot.
08:46The competitive nature here is incredible.
08:50Well, Lara, it's been a pleasure having you.
08:53But sadly, it means we're going to have to say goodbye.
08:56Thank you for having me.
08:57It's been lovely.
08:59Lara, you're out of time and you're out of money.
09:01APPLAUSE
09:06So the rest of you, well done on making it through to the next round.
09:12Sidine, it was close there for you.
09:14Very close.
09:15How did you feel hearing those coins count down?
09:18Yeah, I was getting nervous, but we got there in the end.
09:21You've got that out of your system now.
09:22Stuff's getting serious now as we move into round two.
09:25The money that you've saved will be carried through to the final

09:56This time, there's more cash to play with.
10:00In this round, it's £1,250.

10:16Our first set of questions is about stage names.
10:22I'm going to give you the birth name of a famous singer and a UK number one single on which they were a main or featured artist.

12:25My word.
12:26That was a brutal one.
12:27June, you were trying to buzz in there, but you just couldn't quite get one right.
12:31Not the best round for us, but...
12:34Oh, bad luck with Billy Ray Cyrus.
12:36He was on Old Town Road, but the answer was Lil Nas X.
12:41Yeah.
12:42The person who featured on the song with him.
12:43Yeah.
12:44Oh.
12:45Tony, did you know a couple more of them?
12:47Shhh.
12:48Struggled with them.
12:49Good old Scylla saved me.
12:50Good old Scylla saved you.
12:51You only need the one, Tony.
12:52You only need the one.
12:53I was trying to work out if you knew a few and you were just being a bit nice and not sending
12:58them home sooner or you didn't dare risk it, but...
13:00Didn't want to risk it.
13:01Yeah.
13:02I think that was a good call based on where you're sitting now and where they are.
13:06Mmm.
13:08Our players are putting up a good fight, but who will falter first?
13:11Find out after the break.
13:13APPLAUSE
13:23Welcome back to Time Is Money, as our players have just found out their money is never safe
13:29in this game.
13:30This next set of questions is about...
13:33Islands.
13:36So, I will give you the names of two islands.
13:39Please tell me the country they are a part of.
13:42Sean, no pressure, but this could be a really good time to tell me that you're massively
13:49into your island knowledge.
13:51Not too bad.
13:53Ooh.
13:54Ooh.
13:55Ooh.
13:56And June, you mentioned you were a travelling bingo lover.
14:00This might just play to your wheelhouse.
14:02Hopefully, fingers crossed.
14:03Oh, she's confident.
14:05She's confident.
14:06Well, shall we find out a bit more?
14:09I will give you the names of two islands.
14:12Please tell me the country they are part of.
14:14You are all on the buzzers.
14:16Here is that all-important first question.
14:18Dyer Island and Robben Island.
14:24Sean.
14:25Cook Islands.
14:26Incorrected.
14:27South Africa.
14:28So, Sean, your money timer will be counting down.
14:33The rest of you, here is your next question.
14:37Corsica and Réunion.
14:40June.
14:41Italy.
14:42Incorrect.
14:43It's France.
14:44So, June, your timer will also be counting down.
14:48Tony and Sadim, this next question is just for you two.
14:52Baffin Island and Newfoundland.
14:57Too slow, it's Canada.

15:06Sedim.
15:07Japan.
15:08Is correct.
15:09So, Sedim, you're safe for now.
15:13Thank goodness, because this seems like a little bit of a category
15:17that we're struggling with across the board.
15:20You are all back on the buzzers.
15:23Best of luck, everyone.
15:25Let's start the timers.
15:27Kodiak Island and Nantucket.

16:00BUZZER
16:01Oh!
16:02But that's the end of the category.
16:06Sean, how does that feel when you're just watching your money count down?
16:12A little bit terrifying.
16:15And do you think the nerves are starting to really build up as well?
16:18Oh, yeah.
16:19Yeah, it's different when you're sat at home.
16:21It's a bit different when you sit at home.
16:23I bet you shout at the TV all the time, you know all the answers.
16:27It's like Indonesia, I'm canoeing Indonesia next year.
16:30Oh, hey, Sean.
16:31And I've got to fly into Java.
16:33No, you don't!
16:35Yeah.
16:36Oh!
16:37It is the pressure of the show.
16:38Ugh.
16:39June, that was a little bit tight for you there as well, but you got in there with one.
16:43I did.
16:44And...
16:45Still in the danger zone there though, you and Sean.
16:47Oh!
16:48Just because I'm at the bottom doesn't mean I can't come up.
16:50June, I love your confidence.
16:53Fighting talk.
16:54I've seen some epic comebacks on this show, I can tell you.
16:57Right.
16:58The next set of questions is about...
17:01Are you on social media loads, June?
17:08A little bit.
17:10Well, I'm going to give you the letters of a widely used social media abbreviation.
17:16I will also give you the words that those letters stand for apart from the last word.
17:22I'm looking for the word represented by the final letter of each abbreviation.
17:28For example, if I said ASAP, as soon as, blank, the answer would be possible.
17:36As soon as possible.
17:37June's got the hang of it there.
17:38You all got this?
17:39Yeah.
17:40OK.
17:41Here is your first question.
17:43YOLO and you only live June once.
17:48Is correct.
17:49Oh!
17:50June, she pulled it out of the bag when she needed to.
17:53June, if ever there was a time, that was the time.
17:57OK.
17:58So, June, you're safe for now.
18:00You are all back on the buzzers.
18:03Let's start the timers.
18:05FOMO and fear of missing...
18:07Sidine.

18:33You.
18:34Correct.
18:35Speed up the timers.
18:36I am HO.
18:38Oh!
18:42I am HO, Sean.
18:43In my humble...
18:44I ain't got a clue.
18:45Oh.
18:46Hey, listen.
18:47Yeah.
18:48Oh.
18:49Sean, are you on social media a lot?
18:51LOL.
18:52LOL.
18:53LOL.
18:54Yeah.
18:55Oh, Sean, I wasn't laughing out loud for you.
18:58That's all good.
18:59What a shame.
19:00Do you know what?
19:01It's like a rollercoaster, this show, and you just never know what set of questions are going
19:06to come out.
19:07If you know it, you know it.
19:08If you know it, you know it.
19:09June was going for it that last round.
19:11She knew it.
19:12The comeback queen.
19:13Yeah.
19:14She knew what she had to do, and she pulled it out the bag.
19:17Unfortunately, though, Sean, it does mean we're going to have to say goodbye.
19:20Thank you for having me.
19:21It's been great.
19:22Sean, you're out of time, and you're out of money.
19:33So, the rest of you, well done on making it through to the next round.
19:38Oh, June.
19:39A little bit squeaky bum there at times.
19:41It was.
19:42It was.
19:43I thought I was coming back, though.
19:44You did tell us, and do you know what?
19:46You pulled it out the bag when you needed to, June.
19:48No repeats of that poppy question at the beginning.
19:51Yeah, exactly.
19:52It's gone.
19:53That is out of the way.
19:54That's happened, right?
19:55Mm-hmm.
19:56So, the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final
19:59for you if you make it there.
20:01Let's see what you've saved.
20:03Tony, £710.
20:06Solid round there.
20:07Brilliant.
20:08Mm-hmm.
20:09June, £340.
20:10Not too bad.
20:11Not too bad.
20:12And, Sadim, £730.
20:14Cracking round, especially after the last round.
20:16Brilliant.
20:17Right.
20:18Let's save that money for later.
20:20It's now time for round three.
20:25And this time, you're starting with £1,500 in your timers.
20:29Let's top up those timers.
20:35This time, because it's round three, we're giving you three clues
20:39to each answer.
20:40But as before, the cash countdown will be even faster.
20:44Our first set of questions is about European cities.
20:51OK?
20:53So, I will give you the names of two cities that are in the same country
20:56in Europe, along with the initial letter of the country
21:00in which they are located.
21:02I just need you to name the country they are both in.
21:06OK?
21:07Time is money, so here is your first question.
21:12Malaga and Seville.
21:17S.
21:18June.
21:19Spain.
21:20Is correct.
21:21So, June, you're safer now.
21:24You're all back on the buzzers.
21:27Let's start the timers.
21:28Rosgilde and Aarhus.
21:30D.
21:33Too slow.
21:34It's Denmark.
21:35Innsbruck and Salzburg.
21:37A.
21:38June.

21:55Plovdiv and Sofia.
21:57B.
21:58Sedim.
21:59Bulgaria.
22:00Is correct.
22:01Could have done a bit of damage that round.
22:06I thought June was going to be going for it speeding those timers up a bit more.
22:10Did you know a few more of them June?
22:12I did, yeah.
22:13I did.
22:14I just didn't want to quite take the risk and buzz in.
22:16Yeah.
22:17She's playing it safe, guys.
22:18She's playing it safe, protecting that timer and all £1,500 in it.
22:23Right.
22:24Our next set of questions is all about icons.
22:29In 2019, BBC2 aired Icons, an eight-part TV series celebrating the achievements of some
22:36of the greatest figures of the 20th century.
22:39I will give you a clue to someone on this list, consisting of the year they were born, a brief
22:45description of who they are and the first part of their name.
22:49I'd like you to give me their last name.
22:52You are all on the buzzer.
22:54Here is that all-important first question.
22:591929, civil rights leader and Martin.
23:03June.
23:04Martin Luther King.
23:05It's correct.
23:06Martin Luther King, Jr.
23:08So, June, you've done it again.
23:11You're safe again for now.
23:13You are all back on the buzzers.
23:16Start the timers.
23:171882, author off to the lighthouse in Virginia.
23:23Too slow, it's Wolf.

24:271926, female star of Some Like It Hot and Marilyn.
24:32Tony.
24:33Marilyn Monroe.
24:34Is correct.
24:35And then it's the end of the category.
24:40Oh, Tony.
24:41It's done some damage, that one.
24:43Bad round.
24:44It's done some serious damage.
24:47You lost a thousand pounds in that category alone.
24:52How did it feel?
24:53Hearing those coins tick down.
24:55And then June buzzing in every so often and speeding them up a little bit.
25:00Tears to my eyes.
25:02I bet it was a relief, though, when she buzzed in and got one wrong.
25:04It was.
25:05Yeah.
25:06I bet you thought, that'll teach her.
25:07I was there going...
25:10June, you were playing that category on your own for quite a while there.
25:14I was.
25:15What happened?
25:16I just come from there.
25:18Sometimes I think I don't know and then I actually do,
25:20so it's worth the risk.
25:21Worth the risk.
25:22Unfortunately, that risk didn't pay off.
25:24However, you were still a long way ahead of the others.
25:29Tony, we've seen comebacks better than this.
25:35So it's still doable.
25:36It's not over till that last coin drops.
25:39Just keep going.
25:40Yes.
25:41Our next set of questions is all about...
25:45The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
25:47I'm going to give you the titles of three UK top 40 hits by bands or singers that have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
25:57Please tell me the name of the act.
26:00Please note that not all of these acts play what would be traditionally classed as rock music.
26:05How's your rock knowledge, Sidine?
26:07It's not too bad.
26:08It's more around being hip-hop, but rock would are.
26:11Oh.
26:12Oh.
26:13This could be dangerous.
26:14How about you, Tony?
26:16Not too bad.
26:18Not too bad.
26:19Oh.
26:20Could be interesting.
26:22Hmm.
26:23Let's see.
26:24You are all on the buzzers.
26:26Here is your first question.
26:30Somebody to love.
26:31Another one bites the dust.
26:33Sidine?
26:34Queen.
26:35Is correct.
26:36Oh.
26:38That must take the pressure off a little bit, Sidine.
26:43Nice.
26:45So you're safe for now.
26:47You are all back on the buzzers.
26:49Let's start the timers.
26:51Think.
26:52I say a little prayer and respect June.

26:55Is correct.
26:57Heart-shaped box.
26:58Come as you are and smells like teen spirit.
27:02Sidine?

27:05Speed up the timers.
27:06Feeling good, my baby just cares for me and I put a spell on you.
27:11Sidine?
27:12Nina Simone?
27:13Speed up the timers.
27:14Hot stuff.
27:15Love to love you.
27:19Tony.
27:20You looked like you were going for the buzzer there.
27:22Yes.
27:23I was going for the buzzer.
27:24Who do you think it was?
27:26I don't know.
27:27It's...
27:28I think it's Tina Turner.
27:30Oh.
27:31Hot stuff.
27:32Love to love you, baby.
27:33And I feel love are all Donna Summer.
27:34Yeah.
27:36Oh, Tony.
27:37You've been a great contestant, but unfortunately you couldn't just quite hold your own against these two.
27:43Nope.
27:44A couple of good ones, these.
27:45Yeah.
27:46Have you enjoyed your time today, though?
27:47I have enjoyed it.
27:48It's been absolutely wonderful.
27:50Brilliant.
27:51It's been a good day.
27:52Well, you've been our amazing theatre-loving grandpa.
27:55But unfortunately, we're going to have to say goodbye.
27:58Thank you so much.
27:59Tony, you're out of time and you're out of money.
28:08So, June and Sadim, you've made it through to the head-to-head.
28:12Well done.
28:14June.
28:15What a turnaround there.
28:17From zero to hero.
28:18£1,300.
28:19You must be thrilled with that round.
28:21I'm absolutely buzzing.
28:22Over the room.
28:23Just shows how fortunes can change in an instant in this game.
28:26It does.
28:27It does.
28:28And Sadim, it's not a bad round from you either, that one.
28:31You came back in somehow.
28:33Well, the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final if you make it there.
28:38Let's see what you've saved.
28:41June, fantastic.
28:43£1,300.
28:46And Sadim, another good round.
28:48£460.
28:50Let's save that money for later.
28:55We're down to just two and things are getting tense.
28:58Join us after the break for the head-to-head.
29:08Welcome back.
29:11This is Time Is Money.
29:13It's been a thrilling game so far and we are left with just two players.
29:20June.
29:21You're struggling a little bit there at the end of round two.
29:24And then look at this.
29:25Round three was an absolute stonker.
29:28You must be thrilled with that.
29:30I am.
29:31I'm over the moon.
29:32Worth the travel.
29:33Fantastic.
29:34Now, you've got to take Sadim on.
29:36And he's been pretty consistent throughout the whole game.
29:40How are you feeling about the head-to-head?
29:42Silently confident.
29:44Oh, she is confident.
29:46I like it.
29:47Sadim, is that a little bit scary?
29:50A wee bit, but I'm getting there.
29:52Stand-up comedy has prepared me for this moment.
29:55What's harder, being on here or performing in front of a crowd?
29:59There's something quite nerve-wracking and exciting about this.
30:02Oh!
30:04Well, it's time for our head-to-head.
30:07We're going to top up your timers this time with £1,750.
30:12Let's top up those timers.
30:18This head-to-head is all about staying in control as your opponent's money drains away.
30:23I'm going to ask you questions on a particular category, which will change every five questions.
30:30Answer correctly, and your opponent's timer will start to count down.
30:34If you keep buzzing in and answering correctly, then your opponent's timer will speed up.
30:39But if you buzz in and get one wrong, or if your opponent buzzes in with the right answer,
30:44then their timer will stop and yours will start instead.
30:48Are you ready?
30:49Yes.
30:51Your first set of questions start.

35:12Sadeen.
35:13She was just too much for you there in that head-to-head, wasn't she?
35:17Yeah.
35:18Good honour.
35:19Good honour.
35:20What do you think went wrong?
35:21Jamie.
35:22Oh!
35:23Jamie's.
35:25Well, it was Jamie Redknapp that was your downfall there.
35:28You just said Jamie Carragher, but you buzzed in very early.
35:32If you'd waited just a little bit longer, I would have said,
35:35and is the son of former West Ham football manager Harry?
35:39No.
35:40That might have got you it.
35:41Would you have known that then?
35:42I would have, definitely.
35:43That's the risk, isn't it?
35:44Time is money in this game.
35:46Do you jump in and take a chance or...?
35:48And it just didn't pay off, unfortunately.
35:50You were ahead for a lot of that.
35:53Just turned it around right at the last moment there.
35:57What's it feel like when you're having to watch your money count down
36:00and she's speeding it up?
36:01Yeah, it's nerve-racking.
36:02Especially when you say Leonardo instead of Jamie.
36:05I mean, I wasn't going to bring that back home.
36:08They didn't seem like any need to rub salt in the wound there.
36:11But do you know what?
36:12That's the pressure of the game, isn't it?
36:13It is.
36:14You know it's Jamie you're looking for,
36:15but you think that could be your right answer
36:16and there's nothing else there in the brain.
36:18And...
36:19Oh, Sadim.
36:20Well, do you know what?
36:21Just getting through to the head-to-head is no mean feat,
36:24so you've done exceptionally well.
36:27You've been a brilliant player,
36:28but unfortunately it's time to say goodbye.
36:30Thank you for having us.
36:32Good luck.
36:33Sadim, you're out of time and you're out of money.
36:42But June, who would have thought it?
36:45After that lulling round two,
36:48she's here and she's on her way through to the final.
36:51How does it feel?
36:53I'm absolutely fizzing with excitement.
36:56I can tell.
36:57I can tell.
36:58But do you know what?
36:59You've been saying it all along, haven't you?
37:01You've been saying it.
37:02I don't know if you've been manifesting it.
37:04I don't know if it's just been the confidence,
37:06but you kept saying, no, I'm going to turn this round.
37:09Yes, and I did.
37:10I've given myself proud, if anything.
37:12I've given myself proud to get this for.
37:14Brilliant.
37:15The pressure is really ramping up.
37:18Join me after the break as June plays to win
37:20all the cash she's saved,
37:21if she can stop all the money timers.
37:23Welcome back to Time Is Money,
37:36where June is about to take on her biggest challenge yet.
37:41Congratulations, June, you've made it.
37:45Oh, my word.
37:46It's all about you, but there were times in the game there
37:48where I was wondering if it might be possible,
37:51but you never seemed to falter.
37:53I don't know if you just had all this self-confidence,
37:55but you seemed to know you were going to be here, June.
37:57Yes, I think it was just keeping in the zone at all points,
38:01focusing on my own timer.
38:03That is a good strategy.
38:05I like it.
38:06Focus on what you're doing.
38:07Don't worry about everybody else.
38:08Yeah.
38:09Head down, get the questions right.
38:12And you did say you were a dark horse.
38:14I did.
38:15You, one by one, picked off your opponents.
38:17How does it feel?
38:18I'm absolutely fizzing.
38:20I'm with excitement.
38:21I'm so happy.
38:22Yeah, absolutely brilliant.
38:24Well, now's your chance to win the money that you saved
38:27earlier in the game.
38:29Let's bring back your previous money timers.
38:33Right, a great round one, June.
38:36Saved £880.
38:39Round two was, sir, another £340.
38:42In round three, £1,300.
38:46That was a stonking round, June.
38:48And then in that head-to-head, you've just saved another £580.
38:53All in all, that is looking pretty good, June.
38:55You must be happy with that performance.
38:57I am. I am.
38:58It does tell the story of the slight rollercoaster we've had,
39:01doesn't it?
39:02It does.
39:03Just goes to show, if you hold your nerve, fortunes can really change.
39:08Now, in our final, time really is money.
39:11Your timers are about to start counting down simultaneously.
39:15If any hits zero, you will be going home with nothing.
39:19But before you take this on,
39:21you have the chance to top up your timers one last time
39:24with up to £2,000.
39:27There are five questions and five chances to top up your timers.
39:31But get one wrong and your highest timer will lock.
39:36Are you ready?
39:37I am.
39:38Let's play.

40:52Well, that's not bad, June.
40:54Three out of five and we've really made a big difference there
40:57to timer number two, which is sitting at £640.
41:00Brilliant.
41:01So, it's good.
41:02Should be pleased with that.
41:03Barely substantial amount of money there, June.
41:07If you win some of that today, what's the plan?
41:10I'm planning on travelling.
41:12I love travel.
41:13Mm-hm.
41:14But I like going off the beaten track.
41:16So, if I travel somewhere, I like to integrate with the locals.
41:20So, we went to Thailand and we went to the villages and we ate with the locals
41:25and drank with the locals and just...
41:27I like being authentic when I go away.
41:29I think it's polite to learn a bit about the place where you're going,
41:33so I'd like to do that.
41:34Well, that sounds exciting.
41:35Where are you hoping to go to next June?
41:37Well, I want to do Mexico.
41:39Uh-huh.
41:40I've just done the Caribbean and I want to go back to Thailand.
41:45Oh, wow.
41:46Well, a good winter day would really help.
41:49It would.
41:50You did say you were out travelling bingo, lover.
41:52Do you play bingo when you're off travelling anywhere?
41:54I don't play bingo when I'm off travelling, but I do go with my mother-in-law once a week
41:59and I've been quite lucky in the past.
42:01Have you?
42:02What have you won?
42:03Um, just before last Christmas, I won 3,900.
42:06Wow.
42:07I lost the big one.
42:08I nearly fainted, so...
42:10Indeed.
42:11So, you'll be used to holding your nerve and performing under pressure then, June?
42:15Yeah.
42:16Ooh.
42:17Well, let's hope that luck and them nerves of steel are going to help today.
42:21It's time for the final.
42:23Your timers are about to start counting down simultaneously.
42:28You must take on your timers one by one by answering a question correctly to stop them.
42:33We'll get one wrong and the most recently stopped timer will restart.
42:38If you can stop all four timers before any of them hit zero, then you will take home whatever
42:43money remains.
42:44But if any of them hit zero, the game will end and you will leave with nothing.
42:49And just to warn you, the timers will speed up every 30 seconds.
42:54So, June, which timer would you like to start at?
