00:22Welcome 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.
00:41As this is the quickest quiz,
00:43can you sum yourself up in just three words?
00:46I'm Robert, and I'm an MDRAM creative.
00:49I'm Sanj, I'm a bald hospitality guru.
00:52I'm Rachel, I'm a competitive pottery lover.
00:55Hi, I'm Daniel, a theatre-loving banker.
00:57I'm Maria, and I'm a beekeeping massage therapist.
01:01Daniel, we have a banker in our midst.
01:04Oh, you must be good with the money then, this could be interesting.
01:08And Rachel, I've got to ask you,
01:10how does that competitive streak work with the pottery-loving?
01:13Pottery-loving is a big excuse to go and hide in the garden shed
01:17and escape from all the competitiveness and the busyness of all my day-to-day life.
01:22So, yeah, two sides.
01:23So, what sort of things do you like to make?
01:26Mostly ridiculous novelty items.
01:28My husband makes really nice vases and mugs and beautiful things,
01:31and I make things like T-Rex lamps and wonky mugs and cookie monster cookie jars.
01:38That sounds way more exciting, the vases and mugs that your husband makes.
01:41His are much more attractive, and we actually have out.
01:44Mine mostly end up hidden in cupboards.
01:46Well, I think you should be getting yours out as well.
01:48They sound far more exciting to me.
01:50Well, it's great to have you all here.
01:52Let's play Time Is Money.
01:59In front of each of you is your money timer,
02:02an hourglass that we're filling with cash that you could take home.
02:06For round one, you're going to start with £1,000.
02:10Let's top up those timers.
02:15But in this game, time is money.
02:18So, the trick is keeping hold of it.
02:21If you can't get a question right, your money will count down coin by coin.
02:26And if you run out of money, your time in the game is up.
02:30Now, our first set of questions is about...
02:35Iconic movie quotes.
02:38So, I'm going to recite an iconic line from a film
02:41which was named by the American Films Institute
02:43as one of the 100th greatest movie quotes of all times.
02:47And in their AFI's 100-year series,
02:51you need to give me the name of the film
02:53which is in that AFI list of quotes.
02:57And all of the films are from the 20th century.
03:00OK? How's our film knowledge?
03:05Good.
03:05I mean, our bankers looking pretty positive down there, guys.
03:08You ought to watch out.
03:10Right, there are up to ten questions to answer in each category.
03:14This first question is crucial.
03:17The player who gives me the right answer
03:19will stop their money timer from counting down for now.
03:23So, get ready on your buzzers.
03:25Here is the first question.
03:30Toto, I have a feeling we're not in...
03:32Daniel?
03:33There was the voice.
03:34It's correct.
03:35He was feeling good about this.
03:37You were right, Daniel.
03:38So, Daniel, you're safe for now.
03:42The rest of you, your timers are going to start counting down
03:45at a rate of £10 a second.
03:47You must buzz in correctly to stop your timer.
03:51But an incorrect answer costs £50.
03:54Daniel, if you buzz in before the others with a right answer,
03:58then you will speed up their timers,
04:00potentially sending them out of the game sooner.
04:03But an incorrect answer will start your own timer.
04:07Are you all ready?
04:09Mm-hm. Yeah.
04:10You're all on the buzzers?
04:13Start the timers.
04:15Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
04:17Sanj?
04:18Gone with the wind.
04:19It's correct.
04:20I see dead people.
04:22Rachel?
04:23The sixth sense.
04:24It's correct.
04:25You're going to need a bigger boat.
04:28Robert?
04:28Jaws.
04:29It's correct.
04:30I'm the king of the world.
04:32Daniel?
04:33Titanic.
04:34Correct.
04:34Speed up the timer.
04:35Nobody puts baby in a corner.
04:38Rachel?
04:38Dirty dancing.
04:39Correct.
04:39Speed up the timer.
04:40You had me at hello.
04:44Sanj?
04:45Jerry Maguire.
04:45Correct.
04:46Speed up the timer.
04:47I'll have what she's having.
04:49Daniel?
04:49When Harry met Sally.
04:50Correct.
04:51Speed up the timer.
04:52Houston?
04:52We have a problem.
04:55Rachel?
04:56Apollo 13.
04:57It's correct.
04:58Speed up the timer.
04:59I'll be back.
05:01Maria?
05:02Terminator.
05:03It's correct.
05:03But that is the end of the category.
05:07You did get one right.
05:09Maria, I could see you trying to buzz in on a couple of those and you just weren't quick enough
05:14for these four.
05:15Does it get a little bit stressful when...
05:16It was.
05:17Yeah, very stressful.
05:18And how does it feel when those timers speed up?
05:21Oh, my heart's beating.
05:22Yeah.
05:23I can imagine.
05:24I can imagine.
05:25These guys were a bit brutal.
05:27They weren't taking no prisoners.
05:29Rachel, you were going for it there.
05:34Did you just think...
05:35I don't know why.
05:35I just buzzed anyway.
05:36I wasn't even thinking about it.
05:38Should have sat back and let that be.
05:40Yeah.
05:41Was it that confidence?
05:42I've got 910 in the bank.
05:43I'm just going to go for it.
05:44No, it was pure panic.
05:46Well, the panic paid off, Rachel.
05:48Definitely.
05:48Our next set of questions is about...
05:52Time Women of the Year.
05:55I will give you the surnames of women who were retrospectively chosen to represent the years between 1920 and 2019
06:03on Times Magazine 100 Women of the Year list.
06:07I will also give you the year that they represent.
06:10You will need to tell me their first name.
06:13These women are all pioneering figures from fields such as science, entertainment, politics and activism.
06:22Robert, how are you feeling about this category?
06:25OK-ish, I suppose.
06:27OK-ish.
06:28Yeah.
06:29That is a decent place to be, Robert, OK-ish.
06:32Better than just being OK.
06:33Yeah, just non-committal, yeah.
06:35And, Maria, this first question is vital for you.
06:39Mm.
06:40Yep, you get this right and your timer won't start counting down.
06:44I'll try my best.
06:46OK, you're all on the buzzers.
06:48Here is that first question.
06:54Tunberg, 2019.
06:55Sanj...
06:56Right, sir.
06:56...is correct, which means you're safe for now.
07:00You are all back on the buzzers.
07:03Start the timers.
07:05Winfrey, 2004.
07:07Daniel.
07:08Oprah.

07:37Robert.
07:38Billy.
07:39Correct.
07:40Norse Carter, 2014.
07:45Would have been Beyonce.
07:47These guys are tough, Maria, aren't they?
07:50I know.
07:51It's terrible.
07:53Did you know some of them and just couldn't quite get in fast enough?
07:55Yeah, a couple.
07:56A couple.
07:57That's the difficulty in this game.
07:58You've got to be fast.
08:00Time is money.
08:01You've got to be on that buzzer.
08:02Mm-hmm.
08:03Daniel was ruthless with you there as well.
08:06He was.
08:07Sorry.
08:08Well, he's a little bit remorseful, at least there's that.
08:11Maria, how does it feel when they're all ganging up on you?
08:14Someone's got to be first out.
08:17Aw.
08:18Well, you've been absolutely brilliant.
08:19But sadly, it means we do have to say goodbye.
08:25Maria, you're out of time and out of money.
08:29APPLAUSE
08:31But well done the rest of you on making it through to the next round.
08:36You guys are brutal.
08:38I mean, brutal.
08:39It was like, poo a girl on the end there, let's go for her.
08:41Daniel, you're the worst.
08:44I mean, if that's the way we're going to play it,
08:46you guys just want to watch out.
08:48You want to... We've got his card marked now.
08:50Yes.
08:51But you've seen how the game's played.
08:53That is the way you can really take these on
08:55and take opponents out one at a time.
08:58Are you a big fan of quiz shows, Daniel?
09:00Yeah.
09:01Me and my mum used to watch a lot of them all the time
09:04and we still do it when I'm round our house.
09:06Yeah.
09:07How does it compare being here to watching at home?
09:10It's a lot more stressful, but it's...
09:12I expected it would be worse.
09:14And will your mum be watching now?
09:16Yeah, definitely.
09:17Exciting.
09:18Do you think she'll be proud of you?
09:19Yeah, very much so.
09:21Robert, you know about that stress, don't you?
09:23I do, yes.
09:25Yep.
09:25How did it feel in that round there?
09:28Pretty tough, really.
09:29You know, they were so quick on the buzzer,
09:30so I knew some of the answers, but just half a second behind
09:34and that's all it counts.
09:35That's all it takes.
09:37And how does it feel having someone like Daniel
09:39at the other end of the line just going for it?
09:41Yeah.
09:41I'm glad he's up that end, maybe, but...
09:44You want to watch yourself, Daniel.
09:46I know.
09:47Well, the money that you've saved will be carried through
09:50to the final for you if you make it there.
09:52So, let's see what you've saved.
09:55Robert, you saved £460 in that round.
09:59Sanj, you had a great round with £960.
10:03Rachel, also a great round with £820.
10:06And Daniel, right up there with £960 as well.
10:09That is a fantastic first out of the gates.
10:12So, let's save all that money for later.
10:17It's now time for round two.
10:19And this time, there's more cash to play with.
10:22In this round, it's £1,250.
10:25So, let's top up those timers.
10:32Our first set of questions is about...
10:37Football clubs.
10:40Rachel, I saw your heart sink there right in front of me.
10:44Mm-hm.
10:45Mm-hm.
10:46Mm-hm.
10:46Mm-hm.
10:47I can only embarrass myself here.
10:49Are we all hoping and praying that Daniel doesn't like football at all?
10:53Oh, no.
10:55I'm going to give you the names of two professional football clubs.
10:59I'd like you to tell me the country they are both based in.
11:05OK, so, time is money.
11:07And you know this first question is the all-important one
11:10because whoever answers this correctly, their timer won't count down.
11:13So, here's that first question.
11:20Daniel...
11:21Grease.
11:22..is correct.
11:24Oh, he's doing it again.
11:25Yeah, I knew that.
11:26He's doing it again.
11:28Didn't even get the second one out there.
11:31OK, so, Daniel, you're safe for now.
11:33You are all back on the buzzers.
11:36Start the timers.
11:41USA.

12:20ACF Fiorenti...
12:21Daniel.
12:23Italy.
12:23It's correct.
12:25And that's the end of the category.
12:27Whoa.
12:32Daniel, it was that last category where I didn't even get the full enunciation.
12:37Just the AFC and you were there.
12:39Yeah.
12:40You are a huge, huge football fanatic globally, I'm guessing.
12:44I follow Scotland home and away.
12:46And Scotland must play away a lot, do they?
12:48They do, yes.
12:48OK.
12:49In a lot of those places.
12:51Yeah.
12:52Wow.
12:53Guys.
12:55I mean, nobody could get a look.
12:58Did you try and buzz it?
12:59Did anybody try and buzz in for anything?
13:00Done the first three, maybe, I think, but...
13:02He's too quick.
13:04He's too quick.
13:05I could just see panic spreading as those timers were speeding up,
13:10speeding up, and actually got to max speed.
13:12Glad the category ended.
13:14We're all glad the category's ended, Robert, I can promise you.
13:17We're all relieved.
13:18I'm not.
13:18Maybe he's not Daniel.
13:19Yeah, I'm not.
13:21OK.
13:22Robert, Sanj, and Rachel, let's see if you can turn things around
13:25after the break.
13:30APPLAUSE
13:39Welcome back to Time Is Money.
13:41Before the break, Daniel was ferocious,
13:44but our players still have time to turn their fortunes around.
13:48How are you feeling, Sanj?
13:50Mixed emotions.
13:51Still excited, but a little bit nervous.
13:54Don't blame you.
13:55How about you, Rachel?
13:56I'm definitely intimidated at this point.
13:58Yeah, I think we're all feeling a little bit intimidated.
14:01But everything can change with just one category.
14:05This next set of questions is all about 1980s number ones.
14:09Daniel, what year were you born?
14:121993.
14:13Yes.
14:15You might be in with a chance, guys.
14:18You might be in with a chance.
14:20So I'm going to give you the title of a UK number one single
14:23from the 80s.
14:24I'd like you to tell me which artist or band took the song
14:28to number one.
14:29This is according to the official charts website.
14:34OK.
14:36Whichever one of you can get this first question right,
14:39you're in with a chance.
14:40You're going to stop your money timer from counting down.
14:43OK?
14:44You're all on the buzzers.
14:45Here's that first question.
14:48Like a prayer.
14:50Daniel.
14:51Madonna.
14:52Is correct.
14:54He's done it again.
14:56Outrageous.
14:57He wasn't even around.
14:58He hadn't even been born.
15:00LAUGHTER
15:05Right.
15:05I'm rooting for you guys and I'm sensing you're going to need
15:08to be quick.
15:09You're going to need to be really quick.
15:10OK?
15:11So, Daniel, you're safe for now.
15:13But you're all back on the buzzers.
15:15Let's start the timers.
15:17Imagine.
15:19Robert.
15:20John Lennon.
15:20Correct.
15:21Atomic.
15:23Daniel.
15:24Blondie.
15:25Correct.
15:25Speed up the timers.
15:26Right on time.
15:29Sanj.
15:30Black Box.
15:30Correct.
15:31Totally clips of the heart.
15:33Daniel.
15:34Bonnie Tyler.
15:35Correct.
15:35Speed up the timer.
15:36True.
15:38Daniel.
15:39Spandu Bali.
15:39Correct.
15:40Speed up the timer.
15:41It's a sin.
15:43Daniel.
15:44The Pet Shop Boys.
15:45Correct.
15:45Speed up the timer.
15:46House of Fun.
15:47Daniel.
15:48Madness.
15:49Correct.
15:49Speed up the timer.
15:50Hello.
15:52Rachel.
15:53Lionel Richie.
15:54It's correct.
15:56Rachel, I was rooting for you there.
15:59I was thinking, come on, there's got to be one of these.
16:02He's too quick.
16:03He's just far too quick.
16:04He's just far too quick.
16:05I've never known anything like it, Rachel.
16:07But you are still in the game and it's not over till that last coin drops.
16:13Okay.
16:13The next set of questions is about British actresses.
16:20Now, Rachel, I don't need to remind you that you're on £40.
16:25This category is very important for you.
16:28Okay.
16:29How do you feel about British actresses?
16:31I'm a lot less good at remembering names.
16:33Now, I've got baby brain.
16:35So, honestly, not great.
16:36I know that all too well with baby brain.
16:38How recently have you had a baby, Rachel?
16:40My little one's one.
16:41Oh.
16:41I went back to work this week.
16:43Oh.
16:44And then ran away to be in a quiz show.
16:47Well, yeah, obviously, you need a bit of time off for a quiz.
16:50That's what I thought.
16:51Absolutely.
16:52If it makes you feel any better, that baby brain hasn't helped me
16:54and it's been eight years now.
16:55Yeah, okay.
16:56Yeah.
16:56I'm not sure that does make me feel greatly better.
16:59You're right.
17:00Well, let me tell you more about this category.
17:03I'm going to give you the titles of two films
17:05followed by the initials of a British actress.
17:09I'd like you to give me the name of the actress
17:11with those initials who had a starring role in both films.
17:16To be clear, by British, we mean actresses
17:19who were born in the UK and or had British citizenship
17:22during their lifetime, either solely or as a dual citizen.
17:26You are all on the buzzer.
17:29Here is your first question.
17:32Helen, the girls, and the Queen.
17:35H.M. Rachel.
17:36Helen Mirren.
17:37Is correct.
17:40Oh, you needed that.
17:42I did.
17:43You needed that.
17:43Well done.
17:44Pulled it out of the bag at just the right time.
17:46So, Rachel, you're safe for now.
17:49Yep.
17:50You're all back on the buzzers.
17:52Start the timers.
17:57Tell that Bonham Carter.
17:58Correct.
18:05Daniel.
18:06Judy Dench.
18:07Correct.
18:07Speed up the timers.
18:08Harriet and Wicked, C.E.
18:11Daniel.
18:12Cynthia Erivo.
18:13Correct.
18:13Speed up the timers.
18:14Gaslight.
18:15And the Manchurian candidate, A.L.
18:20Too slow.
18:21It's Angela Lansbury.
18:23Saltburn and Gone Girl.
18:25R.P.
18:26Daniel.
18:27Rawson Pike.
18:30Is correct, but Sanj has just run out of cash.
18:35Oh, Sanj, did you know any of those answers?
18:38I knew the first one, Helen Mirren, but well done Sir Rachel for getting that.
18:42And then it was a tough round.
18:44That was tough.
18:44And it doesn't help when your counters getting faster and faster and faster the more times golden boy down the
18:49end buzzes in.
18:50Fair play.
18:52Yeah.
18:53He is smelling blood and he's picking you off one at a time.
18:57And unfortunately, it was just your time, Sanj.
19:00But you put up a good fight, you've had a great game, and I'm afraid your time is up.
19:08Sanj, you're out of time and you're out of money.
19:16Which means the rest of you have made it through to the next round.
19:20Some of us by the skin of our teeth.
19:24What is it I said, Rachel?
19:25It's not over till the last coin drops and that last opening question saved you.
19:30God bless Helen Mirren.
19:31God bless Helen Mirren.
19:33Ooh, that was brilliant.
19:35And it just shows anything can change across a round.
19:39Now, the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final for you if you make it there.
19:44So, let's see what you've all saved.
19:47Robert, you saved £110 from that round.
19:52Rachel, you saved a whopping £40.
19:56And Daniel, not quite a full house, £1,200.
20:00What a great round.
20:01So, let's save that money for later.
20:06It's now time for round three and this time you're starting with £1,500 in your timers.
20:14So, top up those timers.
20:20So, this time, because it's round three, we're giving you three clues to each answer.
20:25But as before, the cash countdown would be even faster.
20:29Our first set of questions is about the X Factor winners.
20:35Robert.
20:37Robert has his head in his hands.
20:41Are you a big fan of the X Factor, Robert?
20:43I'll get my coat.
20:45No, that's, yeah, almost the worst thing that could come up.
20:49Well, let me tell you a little bit more about it, because it might not quite be that dire.
20:55I'm going to give you three clues.
20:58The year someone won the X Factor, the first UK Top 40 hit for that winner,
21:04and then their first name.
21:06I want you to give me the surname for each.
21:10Any better, Robert?
21:12Maybe, slightly.
21:13I mean, if I get to that first name, that could be a good clue.
21:16Yes, if somebody doesn't buzz in really quickly.
21:19It might be me.
21:21No comment.
21:23Well, listen, Robert, I'm rooting for you.
21:26And you know this first question is the all-important one.
21:29OK?
21:31Time is money, so here's that first question.
21:362006.
21:38A moment like this.
21:40Daniel?
21:41Leona Lewis.
21:42Is correct.
21:43Which means that you're safe for now.
21:46OK?
21:46You're all on the buzzers.
21:49Start the timers.
21:502009.
21:52The Climb and Joe.
21:54Daniel?
21:55McKeldry.
21:55Correct.
21:56Speed up the timers.
21:572008.
21:58Hallelujah and...
22:00Rachel?
22:01Alexander Burke.
22:02Correct.
22:032007.
22:04When You Believe and Leon.
22:07Daniel?
22:08Jackson.
22:08Correct.
22:08Speed up the timer.
22:092015.
22:11Forever Young and Louisa.
22:13Daniel?
22:14Correct.
22:15Speed up the timer.
22:162004.
22:17Against All Odds and Steve.
22:22Too slow.
22:23It's Brookstein.
22:242010.
22:26When We Collide and Matt.
22:28Daniel?
22:29Cardle.
22:29Correct.
22:30Speed up the timer.
22:312012.
22:32Impossible and James.
22:34Daniel?
22:35Arthur.
22:36Correct.
22:36Speed up the timer.
22:372013.
22:39Skyscraper and Sam.
22:44Robert?
22:45Ryder.
22:45Incorrect.
22:46It's Bailey.
22:472005.
22:50That's my goal.
22:51And Shane?
22:52Daniel?
22:53Ward.
22:54Correct.
22:55And that's the end of the category.
22:58See, Robert?
22:59It had to come to an end at some point.
23:01Thank goodness.
23:02Yeah.
23:02And it's done now.
23:05I mean, you were like a man in a bad dream right there, Robert.
23:08Yeah.
23:08Absolutely.
23:09I almost didn't dare look up at you at one point.
23:12I felt like I was living that dream with you.
23:14Yeah.
23:15You wouldn't want to be in it.
23:16No.
23:17I'm dram creative.
23:19Yes.
23:20So, you like participating in amateur dramatics
23:22or you help behind the scenes?
23:24You run a club?
23:25What is it?
23:26Mainly performing, but also directing
23:28and a little bit of writing as well.
23:30Oh, fantastic.
23:31So, what sort of shows have you been in?
23:33Everything from Shrek to Shakespeare.
23:35Oh!
23:36So, pentos, usually the villain.
23:38Oh, no, you haven't.
23:39Oh, yes, I am.
23:41Oh, yes, yes.
23:41You want to watch out.
23:42He's behind you.
23:43Yeah.
23:44And straight dramas, comedies.
23:46And in the last three years,
23:48a little bit of professional work as well.
23:50Oh, fantastic.
23:51Yeah.
23:51And would you describe that last round as a comedy or a tragedy?
23:55Very much a tragedy.
23:56Oh, how does this compare to being on stage
23:59and the pressure that comes with performing on stage?
24:01Theoretically, I know what I'm doing when I'm acting.
24:04This is a whole new ballgame.
24:06Well, it's getting very tense here.
24:08Our next set of questions is all about...
24:12Formula One World Champions.
24:15I'm going to give you a year, followed by the nationality,
24:19followed by the first name of a driver
24:20that won the Formula One World Championship in that year.
24:24I'd like you to give me the surname of the driver
24:26that won it that year.
24:28Some of these drivers have won the championship multiple times.
24:32In these cases, the year given is the year in which
24:35they won the championship for the first time.
24:40Rachel, I'm guessing from that initial reaction,
24:44you don't spend a lot of your Sundays following the Formula One.
24:47I don't think I've ever watched the Formula One.
24:50Well, this round could be interesting.
24:53Yeah.
24:54It's a good job you've got £1,360 in that timer.
24:58Robert, how's your Formula One knowledge?
25:01Better than my X-factor knowledge.
25:03Well, that is a really positive start.
25:06Yeah. That's what we want to hear.
25:07Hey, you've seen how you can get that first question right
25:10and that could save everything.
25:12Daniel, dare I ask?
25:14Not my best.
25:16Hmm.
25:18You're in with the chance, then.
25:19OK? Good luck, Robert and Rachel.
25:21That's all I'm going to say.
25:22You are all on the buzzers.
25:24Here's that all-important first question.
25:291996, British and Damon.
25:33Rachel.
25:34Hill.
25:35Is correct.
25:40Right, Rachel, you're safe for now.
25:43And remember, you may be at risk, Robert,
25:47but it's not over till the last coin drops.
25:50Good luck.
25:52You are all back on the buzzers.
25:55Let's start the timers.

26:15Daniel.
26:16Verstappen.
26:17Correct.

26:22Senna.
26:22Correct.
26:23Speed up the timer.
26:242008, British and Lewis.
26:27Robert.
26:27Hamilton.
26:28Correct.
26:33Robert.
26:34Could you have left it quite any further to the last minute there?
26:37I was thinking of leaving it a little longer, but I thought not.
26:39OK, well, thank you.
26:40I don't think my blood pressure could have coped.
26:42Wow.
26:43Yeah.
26:43Hey, what is it?
26:44It's not over till the last coin drops.
26:47Absolutely.
26:48I knew there'd be one in there, you'd know.
26:50Well, I knew the few, but yeah, speed as ever.
26:53Getting in there, speed.
26:54And Daniel, the first crack, we've seen it.
26:58Oh, and Jackie Stewart as well.
27:00A Scottish driver, like.
27:04Wow.
27:05Rachel and Daniel, you have managed to even out your timers.
27:10Rachel.
27:11Big win.
27:11I did nothing.
27:12It was great.
27:12Hey, we're taking this as a good win.
27:16OK, our next set of questions is about...
27:20Decades of films.
27:23So, I'm going to give you the titles of three well-known films.
27:27I want to know the decade in which all three films were released.
27:32OK.
27:33So, please note the same decade maybe in more than one answer.
27:37Fair.
27:37Mm-hm.
27:38So, Robert, you're our actor here.
27:41Yeah.
27:41This could be a good round for you.
27:43Maybe.
27:43Listen, you are all on the buzzer, but this first question is the all-important one,
27:49because whoever gets this right will stop their counter from counting down.
27:53Yeah.
27:54Be ready.
27:55You're all on the buzzer.
27:57Here's that first question.
28:032000s.
28:291980s.
28:30Correct.
28:30Speed up the timer.
28:31The gold rush.
28:32The general.
28:33And metropolis.
28:34Robert!
28:39Robert, you timed out before I could take an answer.
28:43What would you have said?
28:4430s.
28:46I feel a little bit better now because it was the 20s.
28:49Still, I mean, you took us right up to the knife edge there.
28:53Wow.
28:53And you had to give it a go.
28:55Absolutely.
28:56Yeah, yeah.
28:56Absolutely.
28:56Robert, you've been an absolutely brilliant contestant.
28:59You have put up a good fight against these two.
29:01Yeah.
29:01Great contenders, so.
29:03Really great contenders.
29:04Yeah.
29:04How does it feel?
29:06Disappointing, but, you know, when people are that good, no shame in that and fantastic time.
29:11Well, you've put up a really good fight.
29:13I think you've had a couple of great rounds and you've really done yourself proud.
29:17So, you've been a great contestant, but, unfortunately, your time in the competition has come to an end.
29:23Robert, you're out of time and you're out of money.
29:31That means, Rachel and Daniel, you've made it through to the head-to-head.
29:36Congratulations.
29:36It must feel good.
29:38For me, it seems like a miracle, but, yeah.
29:41Hey, Rachel, have you ever seen the film The Terminator?
29:45Hasn't everybody seen the film The Terminator?
29:48Does it feel like being in The Terminator?
29:51When Daniel's hunting you down?
29:53Yeah, maybe we should switch to one of the later ones.
29:55Doesn't he become a good guy, then?
29:57Do you know?
29:58Maybe that's what's going to happen in the next round.
30:01How daunting is it, the idea of going up against him right now?
30:04Yeah, I don't fancy my chances, but I'll give it a go.
30:07Give it a go.
30:09Got to keep the positive vibes up.
30:10Yeah.
30:11Daniel.
30:12Rachel's been pretty good as well.
30:14Yeah.
30:14How are you feeling going up against her?
30:17Anything can happen in these games, you know.
30:19It's just...
30:19If a great category comes up, then it's the end of this game.
30:22Well, the money you've saved will be carried through to the final for you
30:26if you make it there.
30:27So, let's have a look at what you've both saved.
30:30Rachel, £1,260.
30:33That's a great round there.
30:35And Daniel, £1,360.
30:38You've both had a great round, so let's save that money for later.
30:44We're down to two and the competition is getting serious.
30:48Only one of them can make it through to our final.
30:50Don't go anywhere.
30:54APPLAUSE
31:02Welcome back.
31:04This is Time Is Money.
31:05It's been a ruthless game so far and we're left with just two players.
31:10Rachel and Daniel, how are you both feeling?
31:13Good.
31:14Relieved to get this far.
31:16That's good.
31:17You should be proud of yourself, Rachel.
31:18There's been some stiff competition.
31:20Yeah.
31:21Mostly on that side.
31:22Mostly on that side, but from around the table.
31:25He's just been picking them off one by one.
31:27Yep.
31:28Well, you've done well to protect your place in the head-to-head.
31:31And, Daniel, will we be seeing more of your fast buzzer work in this round?
31:35Let's hope so.
31:37So, it's time for the head-to-head.
31:39So, we're going to top up the timers, this time with £1,750.
31:44Let's top up those timers.
31:48This head-to-head is all about staying in control as your opponent's money drains away.
31:54So, I'm going to ask you questions on a particular category which will change every five questions.
32:01Answer correctly and your opponent's timer will start to count down.
32:05If you keep buzzing in and answering correctly, then your opponent's timer will speed up.
32:10But if you buzz in and get one wrong, or if your opponent buzzes in with a right answer,
32:16then their timer will stop and yours will start instead.
32:19Are you both ready?
32:21Yes.
32:21Your first set of questions start in the human skeleton.
32:28You're both on the buzzers and here is your first question.

38:35And in that head-to-head, you've just saved £670.
38:40And with our final, time really is money.
38:43So your timers are about to start counting down simultaneously.
38:47If any hits zero, you will be going home with nothing.
38:52But, before you take this on, you've got the chance to top up your timers
38:57one last time with up to £2,000.
39:01There are five questions and five chances to top up your timers.

40:55and the most recently stopped timer will restart.
40:59If you can stop all four timers before any of them hit zero,
41:02then you will take home whatever money remains.
41:06But if any of them hit zero,
41:08the game will end and you will leave with nothing.
41:11Just to warn you,
41:13the timers will speed up every 30 seconds.
