00:23Welcome to Time Is Money, the fastest quiz on TV,
00:25where five players are about to be given thousands of pounds before they answer a single question.
00:32But 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 the longest today.
00:40As this is the quickest quiz, can you sum yourself up in just three words?
00:44I'm George, and I'm a barbecuing whiskey connoisseur.
00:47I'm Claire, I'm a theatre-loving creative.
00:50I'm Ahmed, a poetry-wrapping entrepreneur.
00:52I'm Emma, an adrenaline-seeking hiker.
00:55I'm Kate, I'm a trivia-obsessed foodie.
00:58Well, I think you lot could be pretty exciting.
01:01It's great to have you all with us.
01:03Let's play Time Is Money.
01:08In front of each of you is your money timer,
01:11an hourglass that we're filling with cash that you could take home.
01:14For round one, you're going to start with £1,000.
01:18Let's top up those timers.
01:22But in this game, time is money.
01:25So the trick is keeping hold of it.
01:27If you can't get a question right, your money will count down coin by coin.
01:32And if you run out of money, then your time in the game is up.
01:35Now, our first set of questions is about...
01:40Muppets.
01:42What do you want, George?
01:44Big Muppet lover?
01:45Hmm, wouldn't be my first choice.
01:47Well, I will give you the first part of the name of a Muppet character,
01:52but I'm going to miss out the last word of the name.
01:56Please give me the word that completes the name.
01:59There are up to ten questions to answer in each category.
02:02This first question is crucial.
02:05The player who gives me the right answer
02:06will stop their money timer from counting down for now.
02:10So, get ready on your buzzers.
02:13Here is your first question.
02:17Kermit the blank.
02:18Claire.
02:19Frog.
02:19Frog.
02:19Is correct.
02:21So, Claire, you're safe for now.
02:24The rest of you, your timers are going to start counting down
02:27at a rate of £10 a second.
02:29You must buzz in correctly to stop your timer,
02:32but an incorrect answer costs £50.
02:35Claire, if you buzz in before the others with a right answer,
02:38you will speed up their timers, potentially sending them
02:41out of the game sooner.
02:43But an incorrect answer will start your own timer.
02:46OK.
02:46Let's start the timers.

04:59100%.
05:01Ahmed, you were unlucky there.
05:03You gave me Senegal, really unlucky.
05:06Its capital is called Dakar, but that's in Africa.
05:10It's not in Asia.
05:12What hasn't done too much damage?
05:15Our next set of questions is all about months of the year.
05:20I'm going to give you a clue.
05:22I'm going to give you a clue.
05:22You need to tell me the name of the month to which the clue refers.
05:26You're all on the buzzers.
05:27Here is the all important first question, which no pressure, Emma would be a really good
05:32time to pull one out of the bag.
05:33I know.
05:34In the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice falls in this month.

06:10Did you know a couple of those as well?
06:12I knew, yeah.
06:12I knew that I'm the mere one as well.
06:14I just wasn't quick enough on the buzzer.
06:16They just wouldn't let you in, would they not?
06:18No, not today.
06:19They wouldn't give you an inch.
06:20Not today.
06:21Have you enjoyed your time on the show?
06:23I have.
06:23Yeah, thank you.
06:24Aww.
06:25Well, Emma, it's been wonderful having you on the show, but unfortunately, we're going
06:28to have to say goodbye.
06:32Emma, you're out of time and you're out of money.
06:37APPLAUSE
06:38But the rest of you well done on making it through to round two.
06:43We have some strong players there and some seriously buzzer happy people.
06:48Not looking at anyone there, George.
06:50But the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final for you if you make it
06:54there.
06:55Let's see what you've saved.
06:56George, great start, £720.
07:00Claire, what a round, £890.
07:04Ahmed, not a bad start, £290.
07:07And Kate, good round, £560.
07:10Let's save that money for later.
07:15It's now time for round two.
07:17This time, there's more cash to play with.
07:20In this round, it's £1,250.
07:24Let's top up those timers.
07:30As this is round two, you don't just get one clue to the answer, you're going to get two.
07:35Our first set of questions is all about comedy actors and actresses.
07:40I will give you two comedy characters portrayed on television by the same actor or actress.

08:58Just a little bit.
08:59And I answered a male actor for a female one, but yeah.
09:02Well, you know, it could have been.
09:04It was better than a pass.
09:05I had a panic.
09:05It was better than a pass.
09:06Absolutely.
09:07And you got there eventually and you didn't do too much damage there.
09:11It could have been a lot worse.
09:13Well, the competition is fierce, but who will fall to first?
09:16Find out after the break.

10:51I need to just press it once and walk away.
10:54You were smelling a bit of blood down there.
10:55You were thinking, oh, Kate.
10:57He was trying to get rid of me.
10:58He was trying to get rid of me.
10:59He was trying to get rid of me.
11:00It's not personal.
11:02So, our next set of questions is all about...
11:07Sports.
11:08I'm going to give you the names of two people who are known for achievements in the same sport.
11:14Please tell me what sport they are known for.

11:52Is correct.
11:55Ooh.
11:56Kate, I thought that might have been your chance to level the playing fields a bit.
11:59But they're just too fast.
12:01The rugby one, excellent.
12:02I met Johnny Wilkinson.
12:03Lee Halfpenny, my favourite Welsh rugby player.
12:05So that landed lovely.
12:07That landed lovely.
12:07And then I got distracted thinking about how lovely they are.
12:10And then that's when I then lost one.
12:12OK.
12:13This next set of questions is about UK number one collaborations.
12:19So I'm going to give you the title and featured artist for a UK number one single that was a
12:24collaboration.
12:26I'd like you to tell me the main artist.
12:29Here is your first question.
12:33Is this the way to Amarillo, PTK, George?
12:36Tony Christie.
12:37Is correct.
12:39I struggle to say that without singing.
12:41Do that.
12:44George, you're safe again for now.
12:46You are all back on the buzzers.
12:49Let's start the timers.

13:56And that is the end of the category.
14:00Ahmed.
14:02Struggled, struggled.
14:03Was it the collaborations or is music just not your thing?
14:06I get one, but not the other.
14:08So the one that you mentioned, I would know.
14:10And Claire, that's the first time we've really seen your timer count down like this.
14:15I felt a bit stressed.
14:16I was ready to say Timmy Mallet because that song was number one on the day I was born.
14:20Really?
14:21So I sort of randomly knew that, but I had no idea it was a collaboration.
14:26The thing with this show is, it's never over until the last coin drops.
14:32Our next set of questions is about famous people on banknotes.
14:38I will give you a description of a famous person who has appeared on a UK banknote.
14:44I'll also give you their first name or names.

16:03I've seen comebacks where we've had people down to one.
16:06OK, I'll take it.
16:07You've got to hold your nerve here.
16:08Yeah.
16:09The next set of questions is all about Booker Prize nominees.
16:13I'm going to give you the title of a novel that either won or was shortlisted for the Booker Prize,
16:19as well as the first name of its author.
16:22Please tell me the author's surname.
16:24Clare, I'm sure I don't need to remind you how important this first question is.
16:29Life of Pi and Jan.
16:31Kate.
16:31Martel.
16:32Is correct.
16:34So, Kate, you're safe for now.
16:37You are all back on the buzzers.
16:40Let's start the timers.
16:41McLean and Monica.
16:42Clare.

16:57Oh!
16:58I missed it.
16:59I can't believe it.
17:01It was Smith.
17:02Yeah.
17:02But you have to get the answer out just before you run out of time.
17:08Oh, my word.
17:10This game.
17:11There is nothing like it, is there not?
17:14Right to the wire.
17:15I mean, Clare, you saved yourself with just one coin there.
17:18I can't believe it.
17:19£10 left.
17:20Wow.
17:21Just got in there in time.
17:23Ahmed, you have been such a formidable opponent.
17:26I had a great time.
17:27Well, you've been a great player.
17:29You gave these guys a really good run for their money.
17:31I'm really afraid your time in the game is up, Ahmed.
17:37Ahmed, you're out of time and you're out of money.
17:47But the rest of you, well done on making it through to the next round.
17:52That must be exciting, Clare.
17:55By the skin of my teeth, honestly.
17:57What did I tell you though?
17:58Yeah.
17:59I said it's not over till that last coin drops and you were literally saved that last question there.
18:05I know.
18:06Well, the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final for you if you make it there.
18:11So, let's see what you've saved.
18:14George, another cracking round.
18:16£780.
18:17Must be pleased with that.
18:18I am, but I'm not taking anything for granted.
18:20That last subject was not my bag.
18:22Clare, you've got a tenner.
18:24Yeah.
18:25Yeah.
18:26Better than nothing.
18:27And Kate, £280.
18:29Yeah, not bad, but I'll try and do better next time.
18:33Yeah.
18:33There you go.
18:34Let's save that money for later.
18:38It's now time for round three.
18:40And this time, you're starting with £1,500 in your timers.
18:45Let's top up those timers.
18:50This time, because it's round three, we're giving you three clues to each answer.
18:55But as before, the cash countdown will be even faster.
18:59Our first set of questions is about TV shows.
19:04I'm going to name three actors who appeared in a show on Empire Magazine's
19:09100 Best TV Shows of All Time list.

39:00Well done.
39:03Wow.
39:04My life.
39:05I don't believe it.
39:07I mean, the queen of the comebacks.
39:11Claire, you just keep doing it.
39:13I think it was just the first lot of questions fell my way and, you know, Kate had a great
39:20run after that but...
39:21Yeah, she did.
39:21Yeah.
39:21Then she made a huge comeback and she was closing that gap and it was getting close and then you
39:26just pulled away and Kate, you just ran out of cash.
39:29She deserved it.
39:30Like, amazing.
39:31Really good.
39:32Well, Kate, you were close to the final but unfortunately we're going to have to say goodbye.
39:37Thank you so much for having me and best of luck for the final.
39:40Kate, you're out of time and you're out of money.
39:47The pressure is really ramping up.
39:50Join me after the break as Claire plays to win all the cash she's saved if she can stop all
39:54the money timers.
40:06Welcome back to Time Is Money where Claire is about to take on her biggest challenge yet.
40:13Claire, I know about you but I was not expecting to see you here.
40:17Yeah, I know.
40:18I mean, the first round went pretty well, I seem to remember, but since then there's been some near misses.
40:23It was that round two when you were left with just one coin but that head-to-head, my word,
40:28you dominated.
40:29You came out fighting, you wanted to be in this final, didn't you?
40:32Yeah, definitely.
40:34Well, now's your chance to win all the money that you've saved earlier in the game.
40:38So, let's bring back your previous money timers.
40:40You were right, you had a great round in round one and you saved £890.
40:46Round two was that one we maybe not want to talk about too much.
40:49You've got the one coin in there at the moment, it's £10.
40:53Round three was a little bit better but was still only £140.
40:58And in round four, the head-to-head there, you've just managed to save £450.
41:04In our final, time really is money.
41:07Your timers are about to start counting down simultaneously.
41:11If any hits zero, you will be going home with nothing.
41:15But before you take this on, you've got the chance to top up your timers one last time with up
41:20to £2,000.
41:23There are five questions and five chances to top up your timers.
41:27But get one wrong and your highest timer will lock.
41:30Claire, this is really important for you.
41:33We really need to give that timer to a little bit of a sugar you're long, yeah?
41:38OK, let's play.
41:43According to a saying derived from the Bible, the love of money is the root of all what?
41:48Evil.
41:49It's correct, top of the timers.
41:52Who was given the nickname Wagatha Christie following her accusations in 2019
41:57against fellow footballer's wife, Rebecca Vardy?
42:00Colleen Rooney.
42:01It's correct, top of the timers.
42:11The Eden Project.
42:12It's correct, top of the timers.
42:15On a weather map, what name is given to a line that connects places of equal atmospheric pressure?
42:20The bar?
42:22It's incorrect, it's an isobar.
42:24Lock the highest timer.
42:27The battles of Agincourt, Crecy and Poitiers were fought as part of which intermittent conflict lasting from 1337 to 1453?
42:36The War of the Roses?
42:39Incorrect.
42:40It's the Hundred Years War.
42:41Lock the highest timer.
42:44And you still did all right there.
42:46We've managed to get timer two up to £310 and timer three up to 440.
42:50So that really has helped as we move into the end game.
42:54And actually that's not a bad amount of money when you look at the other timers and the good rounds
42:58that you had.
42:59Yeah.
42:59So if you do win today, what are you going to spend the money on?
43:02Probably holiday to be honest.
43:04I'd love to go on like a river cruise around Eastern Europe.
43:07Top up on that European cities knowledge a little bit.
43:10Yes, I like it.
43:12Well, let's see what we can do Claire.
43:14It's time for the final.
43:15Your timers are about to start counting down simultaneously.
43:19You must take on your timers one by one by answering a question correctly to stop them.
43:24But get one wrong and the most recently stopped timer will restart.
43:29If you can stop all four timers before any of them hit zero, then you will take home whatever money
43:34remains.
43:35But if any of them hit zero, the game will end and you'll leave with nothing.
43:39Just to warn you, the timers will speed up every 30 seconds.
43:44OK.
43:45So, Claire, which timer would you like to start at?
43:49Two.
43:50Timer number two.
43:52Are you ready?
43:53Yeah.
43:54Best of luck.
43:55Start the timers.
43:56In 2009, who began hosting the ITV quiz show The Chase?
44:00Bradley Walsh.
44:01That's correct.
44:02Stop the timer.
44:02Where next?
44:03Three.
44:04Who played King Henry VIII in the 2015 BBC TV series Wolf Hall?
44:09Jonathan Rylet.
44:11Incorrect.
44:11It's Damien Lewis.
44:12Let's start the timer.
44:13In 2024, which football team became the first side to win the German Bundesliga without losing
44:18a game?
44:22Leipzig.
44:23Incorrect.
44:23It's Bayer Leverkusen.
44:25In 1954, which American baseball player married Marilyn Monroe?
44:31Pass.
44:32Incorrect.
44:32It's Jodie Maggiore.
44:34In everyday English, the word paramba.
44:37Oh!
44:40That round two came back to haunt you.
44:43I just couldn't come back that time.
44:45There just wasn't quite enough coins in the kitty in timer number two to suffer any more
44:51setbacks.
44:52Yeah.
44:53Absolutely.
44:54Well, I tell you what.
44:55We've been on a roller coaster ride together, haven't we?
44:57We definitely have.
44:58We've rode the highs.
45:00We've done the loop the loops.
45:01We've been down at the bottom.
45:03And, oh, Claire, I'm gutted for you.
45:04Claire, you have been a brilliant contestant.
45:08Brilliant.
45:08And you should be so proud.
45:10You have fought off some really stiff competition to get here.
45:13Yeah, definitely.
45:14Unbelievable.
45:15But listen, we are not letting you go home empty handed.
45:18Oh.
45:18Oh, no.
45:19You're going to be taking home our very coveted timer's money coin.
45:23Lovely.
45:24Exactly.
45:25Who needs the money when you've got the coin, hey?
45:27Absolutely.
45:28Absolutely.
45:29Well, listen, Claire, thanks for playing.
45:31You've been a brilliant contestant.
45:32Thank you so much.
45:33And that's it for today.
45:35Join us next time to see five more players hoping to prove that time really is money.
46:03We're on消 extreme news.
