00:22Welcome to Time Is Money, their fastest quiz on TV,
00:25where five players are about to be given thousands of pounds
00:28before they answer a single question.
00:31But 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,
00:41can you sum yourself up in just three words?
00:44I'm Sammy, a kickboxing ice skater.
00:47I'm Hugh, an injury-prone climber.
00:49I'm Siraj, a playful, sporty accountant.
00:52I'm Jill, a car-loving baker.
00:54I'm Nathan, a gaming adrenaline enthusiast.
00:57I've got to come to you, Jill.
00:59A baker, a woman after my own heart.
01:02What do you love to bake? Everything.
01:04Me too. And then the problem is you have to taste it all,
01:07don't you, as well? Obviously, yeah.
01:08Yeah. Very nice, yeah.
01:10So is it just a hobby or do you bake as a profession?
01:12No, it's my business, no, yeah.
01:13I've been doing it seven years now, so...
01:15Oh, fantastic. Pretty much fully booked,
01:17so I'm very, very lucky.
01:18I have some really lovely customers, so...
01:20I don't think that's luck. You're obviously very good at what you do.
01:22Oh, I don't know. It's good.
01:24Oh, brilliant. Well, it's great to have you all with us.
01:27Let's play Time Is Money.
01:33In front of each of you is your money timer,
01:36an hourglass that we're filling with cash that you could be taking home.
01:40For round one, you're going to start with £1,000.
01:43Let's top up those timers.
01:48But in this game, time is money.
01:51So the trick is keeping hold of it.
01:54If you can't get a question right, your money will count down coin by coin.
01:59And if you run out of money, then your time in the game is up.
02:02Now, our first set of questions is all about...
02:07Tom Cruise films.
02:10I'm going to give you the titles of films for which Tom Cruise is a credited actor,
02:15but without the final word of the title.
02:17Please tell me what the missing word is.
02:20There are up to ten questions to answer in each category.
02:24This first question is crucial, because the player who gives me the right answer
02:28will stop their money timer from counting down for now.
02:32So get ready on your buzzers.
02:34Here is your first question.
02:38Mission blank.
02:39Sammy. Impossible.
02:40Is correct.
02:42So that means that you're safe for now.
02:46The rest of you, your timers are going to start counting down at a rate of £10 a second.
02:52You must buzz in correctly to stop your timer, but an incorrect answer costs £50.
02:58Sammy, if you buzz in before the others with a right answer,
03:02you will speed up their timers, potentially sending them out the game sooner.
03:06But an incorrect answer will start your own timer.
03:09Are you all ready?
03:11Start the timers.
03:13Tom.
03:14Suraj.

03:52Is correct.
03:54And that is the end of the category.
03:57Ooh, Suraj.
03:59I fell for you there.
04:00You gave the answer world.
04:02But as it's a specific title, I needed worlds.
04:06OK.
04:06And Jill.
04:07Whoo.
04:08Big Tom Cruise fan.
04:11Yeah.
04:11Did it just came during the moment?
04:14Well, sometimes right, sometimes wrong.
04:16Do you know, at least you gave it a go, you seem to know plenty of them though.
04:18Our next set of questions is all about Wimbledon Ladies Singles champions.
04:26I'm going to give you the first name of a winner of the Ladies Singles tournament at Wimbledon in the
04:31open era.
04:32Please give me their surname.
04:35Suraj, you're our sporting accountant.
04:37Yeah.
04:38Like a bit of tennis?
04:39Yeah, it should be all right, this.
04:41Well, fingers crossed.
04:41Well, listen, you're all on the buzzer and here is your first question.
04:48Oh, pull that one out of the bag, Nathan, just when you needed it.
04:55Yeah.
04:56So you're safe for now, but you are all back on the buzzers.
04:59Let's start the timers.

05:42Too slow.
05:43It's Barty.
05:44And that is the end of the category, Hugh.
05:47You will be relieved to hear.
05:49Virginia Woolf.
05:50That really famous tennis player.
05:52I know, yeah.
05:53It's just the person that came to my head.
05:55Yeah.
05:56You had to go for it.
05:58I've got to say something.
06:00You've got to try.
06:01Yeah, yeah.
06:02Suraj.
06:02Well, you're smelling blood there a little bit with Hugh thought.
06:05He's my chance.
06:05Here's my chance to make it through to round two.
06:08Let's get Hugh out.
06:09That's right.
06:10You lot are feisty.
06:12Well, listen, Hugh, it's not over till that last coin drops.
06:16I've seen comebacks from this point before,
06:18but you are going to need to try and get in with that all-important
06:21first question next.
06:22So, shall we find out what the next category is?
06:24My hand is ready.
06:25His hand is ready.
06:26OK, our next category is all about Asian capital cities.
06:32Siraj, I saw that.
06:36Yeah, not too sure on that one?
06:38Yeah, that could be tough.
06:39So, I'm going to give you capital cities of countries in Asia,
06:43and I would like you to name those countries.
06:46You're all on the buzzer.
06:47Here's your first question.
06:50Tokyo.
06:52Nathan.
06:52Japan.
06:53Is correct.
06:55Done it again, Nathan.
06:57Hugh, were you in there just not quite fast enough
06:59to beat him to the buzzer?
07:00Yeah.
07:01Yeah, he learnt.
07:02After that first set of questions,
07:04he's learnt to be quick on that buzzer.
07:05OK, there's still time to turn it around, though, Hugh.
07:07It's not over till that last coin drops.
07:10You're all back on the buzzers.
07:12Start the timers.
07:13Manila.
07:14Hugh.
07:15Correct.
07:16Islamabad.
07:18Siraj.
07:18Pakistan.
07:19Correct.
07:20Kathmandu.
07:22Jill.
07:23Nepal.
07:24Correct.
07:25Bangkok.
07:27Sami.
07:27Thailand.
07:28Is correct.
07:29Hugh.
07:31I told you, didn't I?
07:33Go on.
07:34I tell you what, mind, that was about as close as I've known it.
07:37Well, that is.
07:38There is one coin left there, Hugh.
07:40Yeah, well, I've got to get in there somehow, haven't I?
07:42You've got to get in there somehow.
07:43How are you feeling?
07:45Like I'm on a knife edge.
07:47That would be fairly accurate.
07:49Oh, it's quite a rapid round, that one.
07:52We all know our Asian capitals.
07:53Shall we have a look at what the next category is going to be?
07:57Christmas number ones.
08:00Hugh, that knife edge is pretty slim now.
08:04It's even smaller now.
08:05Yeah, it's like this first question.
08:08Well, listen, I'm going to give you the title of a song.
08:11You need to tell me the name of the band or artist
08:13who had an official UK Christmas number one single with that song.
08:17You are all on the buzzer.
08:20Here is that absolutely critical first question.
08:23Bohemian Rhapsody.
08:25Hugh.
08:25Queen.
08:26Correct.
08:28Well, at least you got it with the first one this time, Hugh.
08:31I can relax.
08:32Absolutely.
08:33Still on that knife edge.
08:34Yeah.
08:35But at least you're still in the game.
08:36You are all on the buzzers.
08:38Best of luck, all of you.
08:40Let's start the timers.
08:41Two become one.
08:43Sammy.
08:43Spice Girls.
08:44Correct.
08:46Mistletoe and wine.
08:48Sammy.
08:48Cliff Richard.
08:49Correct. Speed up the timers.
08:51Do they know it's Christmas?
08:53Siraj.
08:53Band-Aid.
08:54Correct.
08:55Hallelujah.
08:57Sammy.
08:58Alexandra Burke.
08:59Correct.
09:00Speed up the timers.
09:01Return to sender.
09:04Too slow, it's Elvis Presley.
09:07Lonely this Christmas.
09:10Too slow, it's mud.
09:13Stay another day.
09:15Sammy.
09:16He's 17.
09:17Correct.
09:17Speed up the timers.
09:21Jill.
09:22No.
09:23That was so close.
09:24Yeah, she couldn't do it.
09:26But the problem is she's quick on the end there.
09:27That's Sammy, isn't she?
09:29And Sammy, was that the strategy?
09:31I wouldn't even try to look at who's time.
09:33I was just trying to go for it.
09:35If it's a category you know, you've got to take your chance.
09:38You never know when you're going to be in the opposite position.
09:40And the crazy thing is, Jill, you were dominating that first Tom Cruise question.
09:44It's amazing how fortunes can change in literally an instant.
09:49Taxi for Jill.
09:50Jill, you've been brilliant.
09:52But sadly, it means we're going to have to say goodbye.
09:55Oh, thanks so much.
09:56I've had a brilliant day.
09:57Oh.
09:57Jill, you're out of time and you're out of money.
10:00Bye.
10:01Good luck.
10:07But that does mean the rest of you well done on making it through to round two.
10:12Some of us by the skin of our teeth.
10:15Yeah.
10:15I guess you were probably not expecting to be standing here right now.
10:19No, I've got a bit of imposter syndrome.
10:21I don't think I should have gone.
10:23That is as close, I mean, literally as close as it can possibly get one coin.
10:28But you can see that's the nature of this game.
10:30Things can change in an instant.
10:32Now, the money you've saved will be carried through to the final for you,
10:36whoever makes it there.
10:37OK?
10:38So, let's see what you've saved.
10:39Sammy, cracking first round, brilliant.
10:42It's £730, amazing.
10:45And Hugh, a whopping £10, brilliant.
10:49But you're still here, it's all that matters.
10:52Siraj, great first round, £630, well done.
10:56And Nathan, good job a couple of those were close.
10:59£110, but you're still here.
11:01Good luck in the next round.
11:02So, let's save all of that money for later.
11:08It's now time for round two.
11:10This time, there is more cash to play with.
11:13So, in this round, it's £1,250.
11:17Let's top up those timers.
11:23As this is round two, you don't just get one clue to the answer,
11:26you're going to get two.
11:28Our first set of questions is all about...
11:32..eurovision participants.
11:34Nathan, those eyes said it all.
11:37Yeah, we have a Eurovision watch party, me and my mates, every year, but...
11:40Are you fine?
11:41I don't know anyone's names.
11:42Oh, yeah, that's a really good point, actually.
11:45Yeah, like, I've seen them, I recognise them,
11:46but I can't name any of them.
11:47Also, what year were you born in, Nathan?
11:502003.
11:50So, them Eurovision watch parties,
11:52it's not that many you've actually been to?
11:54Yeah, I've been to two.
11:55OK.
11:56Right, well, let's manifest them two coming up nice and early.
12:01Yep.
12:01Fingers crossed, fingers crossed.
12:03Right, I'm going to give you the names of two acts
12:05that have competed at the Eurovision Song Contest.
12:09Please give me the country they both represented.
12:13OK, so, time is money, and here is your first question.
12:18Laureen and ABBA.
12:21Sammy. Sweden.
12:22Is correct.
12:23Did you know that one? I was a good guess.
12:25I was hoping that ABBA would come up,
12:27because I know nothing else about Eurovision.
12:29I think that would have been me as well.
12:31Right, Sammy, you're safe for now, but you are all on the buzzers.
12:36Let's start the timers.
12:38Ruth Lorenzo and Julio Iglesias.
12:40Hugh. Spain.

13:12That was a good round.
13:13We're not bad on our Eurovision knowledge, guys.
13:16Everyone's looking OK there.
13:17Could be tight.
13:19Our players are putting up a good fight,
13:22but that might not last for long.
13:23Join us after the break.
13:26APPLAUSE
13:36Welcome back to Time Is Money.
13:38We've seen how quick the game is.
13:40Now it's time for more questions.
13:42But before that, Sammy, I must ask, kickboxing ice skater,
13:46please tell me you don't try and do them two together.
13:49No.
13:50So, I'm constantly just teching up new hobbies and different things.
13:54So, they're the current ones at the moment.
13:56So, it's kickboxing, ice skating, bit of running.
13:59Yeah, just always try new things.
14:01Nice, fantastic.
14:02And Hugh.
14:03Yes.
14:04I'm a little bit concerned about your injury-prone nature
14:07if you're into your climbing.
14:09Tell me a bit more.
14:10I just keep getting injured, although the biggest one I've...
14:13Yeah.
14:13The biggest one I've had recently wasn't to do with any kind of sport.
14:16I was just starting to swing, quite a heavy one,
14:18and just got my foot trapped underneath it.
14:20And I do a bit of running as well, and same as Sammy.
14:23And I couldn't run for about six months.
14:25Six months?
14:26Yeah.
14:27Oh, I feel for you.
14:28OK.
14:29Our next set of questions is all about...
14:34Wow. OK.
14:36Yeah?
14:37I'm going to give you the name of a company
14:39and the initials of its founder or one of its founders.
14:42You need to tell me what the initials stand for.
14:45Nathan, that was a confident nod.
14:48Yeah.
14:50Yeah.
14:50Yeah, I...
14:51The only entrepreneur I know is stood right in front of me, so...
14:54Oh.
14:54Praying that you come up.
14:56Right, well, good luck.

15:57It's like, no, thank goodness.
15:59It's all of us how to get the next question out.
16:02Hugh, you were going for it there.
16:05I've got to make up for lost time and for the first round.
16:08Who was Sammy?
16:09I thought she was your friend.
16:10There's no friends here.
16:11Oh!
16:12Oh, Sammy.
16:14It's fighting talk.

18:01Sammy.
18:02Gustav Klimt.
18:03Incorrect.
18:03It's August Roden.
18:06But that is the end of the category.
18:09Sammy.
18:10You weren't kidding when you said you knew your art.
18:12I thought it was the last question.
18:14It was only one question.
18:16So, yeah, my thoughts are cool unless I'm very confident in it.
18:20Obviously, don't buzz in.
18:21Well, Klimt did do a painting called The Kiss.
18:23Yeah, that's...
18:24Yeah, that's...
18:25But he didn't do The Thinker.
18:26And Hugh.
18:27Yeah.
18:28You said there were no friends in this game.
18:29Sammy's getting her own back.
18:32Can't blame her.
18:33Can't blame that, teacher.
18:34And Nathan, I bet you're pleased to see the end of that question.
18:38Yeah.
18:38Yeah?
18:39I think it was...
18:40I'm glad that I actually didn't know any of them,
18:42rather than me just being too slow, so, yeah.
18:45OK, well, hopefully, this next question coming out
18:48will be a really good one for you, OK?
18:51So, let's see what this next set of questions is.
18:57Like a bit of snooker?
18:58I can play it.
19:00Well, that's a good start.
19:01But I don't watch it.
19:02But you don't watch it.
19:03OK, well, listen, I'm going to give you the nicknames
19:05of snooker players that have either won or been runner-up
19:09at the World Snooker Championship final,
19:11followed by that player's initials.
19:13I'd like you to tell me their names.
19:15This first question is the all-important one.
19:18You are all on the buzzer.
19:19Here it comes.
19:22The Rocket...
19:23Hugh.
19:24Ronnie O'Sullivan.
19:25...is correct.
19:27So, Hugh, you're safe for now.
19:30You are all on the buzzers.
19:32Start the timers.
19:33The Nugget and SD.
19:36Siraj.
19:36Steve Davis.
19:37Correct.
19:38The Hurricane and AH.
19:41Siraj.
19:41Alex Higgins.
19:42Correct.
19:42Speed up the timers.
19:43Dracula and RR.
19:47Oh!
19:49Nathan, did you just buzz in there?
19:51Oh, I didn't know it.
19:52Oh!
19:53Well, I feel a little bit better for that.
19:56I was like, did he know that?
19:57Because that's a toughie.
19:58You may as well create it before I go my way.
20:01I mean, it was rereading.
20:03Just in case you're going to get up there on your snooker knowledge now.
20:07Oh, Nathan.
20:09How does it feel when you're just watching those last few coins tick down?
20:13You see, it's really bad, but at the same time,
20:15with those last two rounds, I didn't know a single answer.
20:18So, can't really do anything.
20:20It's just swings and roundabouts in this game, isn't it?
20:22Yeah.
20:22You just never know what's going to come next or what's going to injure you.
20:26Unfortunately, that means it's the end of the road for you, Nathan,
20:29and we're going to have to say goodbye.
20:32Nathan, you're out of time and you're out of money.
20:35Good luck, Nathan. Thank you.
20:42But the rest of you, well done on making it through to the next round.
20:46And Sami dominating this round. Fantastic.
20:50Well, I think I was relieved for Nathan to go
20:54and kind of Siraj and Hugh taking out Nathan,
20:56because snooker, I knew nothing.
20:58Not your thing. No.
21:00Well, the money that you've all saved will be carried through to the final
21:03for you, whichever one makes it there.
21:06Now, let's see what you've saved.
21:08Sami, another cracking round, £750.
21:12Hugh, a massive improvement on the last round.
21:16Still quite low comparatively, but yeah.
21:18What a 37 times improvement on the last round.
21:20That's £370 for you.
21:23And Siraj, £780, another cracking round.
21:26You must be pleased with that.
21:27Yeah, that was good. It went well.
21:29Brilliant. Well, let's save that money for later.
21:34It's now time for round three.
21:36And this time, you're starting with £1,500 in your timers.
21:41Let's top up those timers.
21:47This time, because it's round three,
21:49we're giving you three clues to each answer.
21:52But as before, the cash countdown will be even faster.
21:55Our first set of questions is all about metro stations.
22:01So, I will give you three stations on the metropolitan railway systems
22:06that serve the centres and suburban areas of major cities in Europe and the USA.
22:12Please give me the cities.
22:14Time is money, so here is your first question.
22:19London.
22:22Is correct.
22:24Which means you're safer now.
22:26You are all on the buzzers.
22:29Start the timers.
22:30Arctic, Ibrox and Govan.
22:33Siraj.
22:33Glasgow.
22:34Correct.
22:38Madrid.
22:39Incorrect, it's Barcelona.
22:45New York.
22:47Correct.
22:47Speed up the timer.
22:49Larissa, Fisio and Acropoli.
22:52Hugh.
22:52Athens.
22:53It's correct.
22:55Not bad, all of you, not bad.
22:57Were you starting to feel the nerves there a little bit, Hugh?
23:00Thinking, oh!
23:01Yeah.
23:02Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's one in Madrid that's got something to do with the Spanier,
23:05which I've just been to.
23:07It's a pride of familiar who's going to be the last one there.
23:10That's the trick, isn't it?
23:11When you get to this round, do I wait for all of them?
23:14Do I chance jumping in, maybe getting it wrong?
23:17It's a difficult one.
23:18You've got to wait up all the time.
23:20Our next set of questions is about TV shows.
23:25So, I'm going to name three actors who appeared in a show on Empire Magazine's
23:30100 Best TV Shows of All Time list.
23:33I'll also give you the year that the show was first released in the UK.
23:37Please name the TV show.
23:39Hugh, you were rubbing your hands about that one.
23:42Because they're sweaty.
23:45TV shows is not a good thing for me.
23:47Well, good luck with it.
23:49You're all on the buzzer.
23:51Here is that all-important first question.
23:55Lisa Kudrow.
23:56Hugh.
23:57Friends.
23:58Is correct.
24:00There you go, Hugh.
24:01You're safer now.
24:02Yeah.
24:03You can sit back and relax or you can choose to take the competition out.
24:06I'll leave that one down to you.
24:08You're all back on the buzzers.
24:11Start the timers.
24:12George Takei, William Shatner,
24:15Siraj.
24:16Star Trek.
24:16Correct.
24:18Cynthia Nixon.
24:19Kim Cattrall.
24:20Sammy.
24:21Sex and the City.
24:22Correct.
24:24Very well done, you three.
24:25That's the problem when you've got some really evenly matched players.
24:29These questions can go by quite quickly,
24:32which means that little bit of respite you get, Hugh,
24:34doesn't last very long.
24:35No, unfortunately not.
24:37Let's see what the next set of questions is all about.
24:40Olympic and Paralympic athletes.
24:44So I'm going to give you the names of three athletes who have represented the same country
24:48at the Summer or Winter Olympics or Paralympics.
24:52Please tell me the country they represented.
24:55I think we're left with our three sporty players as well, aren't we?
24:59So this one could be quite interesting.
25:02Very specific sports though, so...
25:04It is very specific.
25:06Yes.
25:07So you're all on the buzzer.
25:09Here is that first question.
25:13Matthew Cowdery, Cathy Freeman and Ian Thorpe.
25:17Siraj.
25:18Australia.
25:18Is correct.
25:19So, Siraj, you're safe for now.
25:22You are all back on the buzzers.
25:24Let's start the timers.
25:26Jesse Owens, Michael Phelps and Simone.
25:28Siraj.
25:29USA.

25:35Siraj.
25:36Jamaica.
25:36Incorrect.
25:37It's Canada.

26:26Henry Wanyorki, Faith Kipjorgen and Elliot Kipchalki.
26:31Hugh.
26:32Kenya.
26:32Correct.
26:35And Sammy, you will be thrilled to hear that's the end of the category.
26:40Yeah.
26:40That was a tough one, wasn't it?
26:43And these two were going for it.
26:45Yeah.
26:46Your knowledge there was great, you two.
26:48Well done.
26:49How does it feel up against these two in a category like that?
26:51Yeah, that was...
26:52That was my worst round.
26:54That was hard.
26:56I think I would have known Team GB maybe a few from the US when you beat me to it
27:00on the US.
27:01Siraj, you just took your opportunity there, didn't you?
27:04Yeah, I kind of knew a few, so it was handy.
27:07Did you get a little bit stressed there when you got that one wrong and were backing on the buzzer?
27:11Yeah, I mean, I did know that Donovan Bailey is from Canada, but I think I just...
27:16I heard another name that sounded Jamaican and I think it is.
27:19And then the next one was Jamaica, so no real harm done.
27:23You're just one step ahead.
27:24Yeah, exactly.
27:26I'm answering the questions before you've asked them.
27:30That's how fast you are.
27:31I love it.
27:32You've got to take the chance when it presents itself, don't you?
27:34Exactly.
27:35Right, shall we find out about our next set of questions?
27:37Let's hope it's a good one for you here, Sammy.
27:39I hope so.
27:40OK, our next set of questions is about albums.
27:44So I'm going to name three albums.
27:47You need to tell me the band or artist who released them all.
27:50You are all on the buzzer.
27:52Here's that first question.
27:56Folklore, Red and 1989.
28:00Sammy.
28:01Taylor Swift.
28:01Is correct.
28:04So, Sammy, you needed that.
28:07I really... Yeah.
28:08You really needed that. That came at a good time.
28:10Yeah, I wasn't sure of that neither, but yeah.
28:11OK.
28:12Right, so, Sammy, you're safe for now.
28:14You are all back on the buzzers.

29:18Oh, Hugh!
29:20It just wasn't quite your question, that one, was it not?
29:23No, it's been three rounds come in, but so, yeah.
29:26She's been quick there.
29:27Your friend Sammy was not your friend then, was she, not?
29:30Absolutely not, no.
29:31I needed to get your flock sticking faster, so...
29:34You tell them, Sammy.
29:35She's like, you were being in competition.
29:37I needed you out, off your poodle, yeah?
29:39Hey, you've put up a good fight, though.
29:42Yeah, just about kept in the game.
29:44Oh, it's just that one bad question.
29:47That one question where it's just not quite going your way.
29:50And as soon as they start ganging up on you, that's it.
29:52They're just getting them coins ticking faster and faster and faster.
29:55It must be stressful, is it?
29:56Er, yeah.
29:57Especially when you start reading the question out.
29:59I know I don't know the answer.
30:00Yeah. Oh!
30:01Did you know many of them, or...?
30:02Just the Ed Sheeran one.
30:04Just the Ed Sheeran one.
30:05Sammy was quicker than me, so...
30:06You should be pleased with how you've done.
30:07I think you've put up a great fight there.
30:08But, unfortunately, we are going to have to say goodbye.
30:12OK. Thank you.
30:13Hugh, you're out of time and you're out of the way.
30:16Good luck.
30:21So, you two, well done on making it through to the head-to-head.
30:26Thank you. That must feel good.
30:28Yeah, it's relief.
30:30You have been really strong contestants,
30:32and look how close these timers are here.
30:34I think we're pretty well matched here as we move into the next round.
30:38I think that. Yeah.
30:39I think we've got very opposite ends of general knowledge,
30:42so this is going to be interesting.
30:44This is going to be interesting indeed.
30:46Well, listen, it's been a great round for both of you.
30:48The money that you've saved will be carried through to the final for you,
30:51if you make it there.
30:53So, let's see what you've both saved.
30:55Sammy, £440. Not bad.
30:58And Suraj, £410. Well done.
31:01Let's save that money for later.
31:06We're down to two, and the competition is really hotting up.
31:09Only one can make it through to our final.
31:11Don't go anywhere.
31:23Welcome back. This is Time Is Money.
31:26It's been a competitive game so far, and we're left with just two players.
31:31Sammy, Suraj, how are you feeling?
31:33Oh, I'm glad to get here.
31:35Yeah.
31:36Suraj, how do you feel going up against this one?
31:37She's a bit buzzer-happy, isn't she?
31:39Yeah, she's very fast on the buzzer.
31:42But she's been a good player.
31:43Yeah, it's going to be a challenge.
31:45It is. Well, it's time for our head-to-head.
31:48So, we're going to top up the timers, this time with £1,750.
31:54Let's top up those timers.
31:59This head-to-head is all about staying in control as your opponent's money drains away.
32:05I'm going to ask you questions on a particular category, which will change every five questions.
32:11Answer correctly, and your opponent's timing will start to count down.
32:15If you keep buzzing in and answering correctly, then your opponent's timing will speed up.
32:20But if you buzz in and get one wrong, or if your opponent buzzes in with the right answer,
32:26then their timing will stop and yours will start instead.
32:29Are you ready?
32:31Yeah.
32:32Yeah.
32:33Your first set of questions start in which 1980s?

37:17My word, that is without a doubt the closest head-to-head.
37:22It was like a game of tennis.
37:24We were one side to the next to the next.
37:26Was your guy's heart in your mouth like mine was?
37:27Yeah.
37:28I can't, yeah, I can't believe that.
37:30Really strong opponent.
37:32Unbelievable.
37:32Siraj, how does it feel?
37:35Just player one.
37:36I thought you had her there.
37:38She was dominating at the start and then you made an unbelievable comeback.
37:42Yeah, it's really nerve-wracking.
37:43I don't think I felt that nervous.
37:45Yeah, in the game I feel like I've been lucky.
37:47It's when the timers start speeding up and you can just hear them coins going faster
37:51and the pressure really gets there.
37:53That could have gone anywhere there.
37:55That really could have gone either way.
37:57That was tight.
37:58But, Siraj, you've been a fantastic contestant.
38:02What a brilliant head-to-head.
38:03And I'm devastated, but we're going to have to say goodbye, unfortunately.
38:09Siraj, you're out of time and you're out of money.
38:17The pressure is really ramping up.
38:19Join me after the break as Sami plays to win all of the cuts that she saved
38:22if she can stop all the money timers.
38:36Welcome back to Time Is Money, where Sami is about to take on her biggest challenge yet.
38:43Congratulations, Sami.
38:45My word, that last head-to-head was close.
38:49That was tight.
38:49Yeah.
38:49I mean, you've been a strong, dominant character all the way through,
38:53but my word, did he give you a run for your money at the end there.
38:56It was really hard.
38:57I felt the pressure.
38:58You enjoyed it so far, though?
38:59I've had such a good day.
39:01It's been a really, really fun show to play.
39:03Erm, yeah.
39:04A lot of fun.
39:06Well, you've played really well and now's your chance to win all of the money
39:09that you've saved earlier in the game.
39:11So, let's bring back your previous money timers.
39:14In round one, you saved £730. Fantastic.
39:20In round two, £750. Brilliant start to the game.
39:25In round three, still 440. That's a good amount.
39:29And then just scrape through in that head-to-head there with £50.
39:34Now, in our final, time really is money.
39:37So, your timers are about to start counting down simultaneously.
39:41If any hits zero, then you'll be going home with nothing.
39:45But before you take this on, you've got the chance to top up your timers
39:49one last time with up to £2,000.
39:54There are five questions and five chances to top up your timers.
39:58But get one wrong and your highest timer will lock.
40:01OK. Are you ready?
40:03I'm ready. Let's play.

41:12I mean, look at timer four. It's up to £450 now.
41:15In fact, all of your money timers are looking a lot healthier now, which is brilliant.
41:20And that's a decent amount of money.
41:21So, if you win, what's the plan for spending the money?
41:24All I kind of wanted recently was some new running shoes,
41:27but maybe a holiday now looking at the prize total.
41:30Oh, hey, that would be nice.
41:31Maybe somewhere nice you can go on holiday and do a bit of running.
41:35Mm. No.
41:36Yeah, maybe not.
41:36Maybe not.
41:37Keep them separate.
41:38I like it.
41:39OK, it's now time for the final.
41:42Your timers are about to start counting down simultaneously.
41:45You must take on your timers one by one by answering a question correctly to stop them.
41:50We'll get one wrong and the most recently stopped timer will restart.
41:54If you can stop all four timers before any of them hit zero,
41:58then you will take home whatever money remains.
42:01But if any of them hit zero, then the game will end and you will leave with nothing.
42:07And just to warn you, the timers will speed up every 30 seconds.
42:12So, Sammy, which timer would you like to start at?
42:15Er, number four, please.
42:16Number four.
