00:00Welcome 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.
00:31But in this game, it's not about getting the money, the trick is keeping hold of it.
00:35Let's meet our five players all hoping to last the longest today.
00:39As this is the quickest quiz, can you sum yourself up in just three words?
00:44I'm Tony, and I'm a theatre-loving grandpa.
00:47I'm June, and I'm a travelling bingo lover.
00:50I'm Sean, I'm a wheelchair adventure fanatic.
00:53I'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.
01:01You don't practise all that at the same time, though, please tell me, Lara.
01:04I 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.
01:15And Sean, a wheelchair adventure fanatic.
01:19Where do you get adventuring?
01:21I've just come back from canoeing the Zambezi River in Africa.
01:25First three paraplegics to canoe 300km.
01:29Raised money for charity and broke a world record.
01:32You're a world record holder as well?
01:34Yeah.
01:35You were the first person to do it.
01:37Yeah.
01:38We should have given you Mon three words.
01:40I would have totally had world record holding wheelchair adventuring fanatic
01:44if that was the case.
01:45No, but then you weren't allowed to do that.
01:46And Tony loves the theatre.
01:49What's your favourite types and genres of things to go and see?
01:52I love music.
01:54I actually spent 30 years doing musical theatre.
01:57Did you?
01:58Yes, absolute super shows.
02:00Oh, we've got a character on our hands.
02:03Well, it's great to have you all with us.
02:05Welcome to the show.
02:07Let's play Time Is Money.
02:13In front of each of you is your money timer.
02:15An 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.
02:25But in this game, time is money.
02:32So the trick is keeping hold of it.
02:35If you can't get a question right, your money will count down coin by coin.
02:39And if you run out of money, then your time in the game is up.
02:44Now, our first set of questions is all about...
02:48Mmm, 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.
03:04I'm looking for the name of the flower, tree or plant
03:07that 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.
03:18The player who gives me the right answer
03:20will stop their money timer from counting down for now.
03:24So, get ready on your buzzers.
03:26Here is your first question.
03:31Symbol of remembrance sold by the Royal British Legion.
03:34June.
03:36Rose.
03:37Incorrect, June. It's a poppy.
03:40So, 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,
03:54I 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.
04:08Tony, Sean and Sadim, this next question is just for you three.
04:14Emblem 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.
04:30You must buzz in correctly to stop your timer,
04:32but an incorrect answer costs £50.
04:36Sean, if you buzz in before the others with the right answer,
04:39you will speed up their timers,
04:41potentially setting them out of the game sooner.
04:44But an incorrect answer will start your own timer.
04:48Are you all ready?
04:49Yes.
04:50Yes.
04:51Let's start the timers.

05:51Sadim, have you been sent a bunch of Mission Impossibles?
05:54I have not.
05:55It's the pressure, isn't it?
05:56It's the pressure, isn't it?
05:57When you think you know an answer but you've got to remember the category we're in and everything that's going to come together.
06:03Lara, how did it feel when you're watching your timer count down and you're losing your money coin by coin?
06:10Genuinely, my heart is like out of my chest.
06:14I know.
06:15It's a lot to take on board, isn't it?
06:17There's a lot going on.
06:18Yeah.
06:19You'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 and send your friends home a bit sooner.
06:26I saw what you were doing there, Tony.
06:27He knows exactly what he's doing this one.
06:31Oh, exciting.
06:33Right.
06:34Our next set of questions is all about...

06:39So I'm going to give you the name of a well-known trophy or prize awarded for sporting achievement.
06:46Please tell me the sport it's given in.

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 Sadine.
08:29Sadine, were you panicking that she might have got one there?
08:32I was, aye.
08:33I was, definitely.
08:34And June.
08:35Oh, 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, oh!
08:44I love you lot.
08:45The competitive nature here is incredible.
08:49Well, Lara, it's been a pleasure having you.
08:52But sadly, it means we're going to have to say goodbye.
08:55Thank you for having me.
08:56It's been lovely.
08:57Lara, 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.
09:11Sadine, 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 for you,
09:29if you make it there.
09:30Let's see what you've saved.
09:32Tony, crack and start, £590.
09:37June, whoo!
09:39880, well done.
09:42Sean, 460, a good solid start.
09:46And Sadine, 60 quid, but you're still here.
09:49Let's save that money for later.
09:55It's now time for round two.
09:57This time, there's more cash to play with.
10:00In this round, it's £1,250.
10:04Let's top up those timers.
10:10As this is round two, you don't just get one clue to the answer,
10:14you'll get two.
10:15Our first set of questions is about...
10:18Stage names.
10:21I'm going to give you the birth name of a famous singer
10:24and a UK number one single on which they will remain or featured artist.
10:29You need to tell me the name by which the singer is most famously known.

12:25My word, that was a brutal one.
12:28June, 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.
12:43Tony, did you know a couple more of them?
12:47Struggled with them.
12:49Good old Scylla saved me.
12:50Good old Scylla saved you?
12:52You only need the one, Tony.
12:53You only need the one.
12:54I was trying to work out if you knew a few and you were just being a bit nice and not sending them home sooner or you didn't dare risk it but...
13:01Didn't want to risk it.
13:03That was a good call based on where you're sitting now and where they are.
13:08Our players are putting up a good fight but who will falter first?
13:11Find out after the break.
13:25Welcome back to Time Is Money as our players have just found out their money is never safe in this game.
13:31This next set of questions is about...
13:37So I will give you the names of two islands.
13:39Please tell me the country they are a part of.
13:43Sean, no pressure but this could be a really good time to tell me that you're massively into your island knowledge.
13:52Not too bad.
13:53Ooh.
13:54And June, you mentioned you were a travelling bingo lover. This might just play to your wheelhouse.
14:02Hopefully, fingers crossed.
14:04Oh, she's confident. She's confident.
14:06Well, shall we find out a bit more?
14:08I will give you the names of two islands. Please tell me the country they are part of.
14:14You are all on the buzzers. Here is that all-important first question.
14:18Sean?
14:19Cook Islands.
14:20Incorrected. South Africa.
14:21So, Sean, your money timer will be counting down.
14:22Yeah.
14:23The rest of you, here is your next question.
14:24Tony and Sadim, this next question is just for you two.
14:26Sean?
14:27Cook Islands.
14:28Incorrected. South Africa.
14:31So, Sean, your money timer will be counting down.
14:34Yeah.

14:38Corsica and Réunion.
14:41June?
14:42Italy.
14:43Incorrected. France.
14:45So, June, your timer will also be counting down.

14:55Baffin Island and Newfoundland.
15:01Too slow, it's Canada.
15:04Hokkaido and Honshu.
15:07Sadim?
15:08Japan?
15:09Is correct.
15:11So, Sadim, you're safe for now.
15:14Thank goodness, because this seems like a little bit of a category.
15:18that we're struggling with across the board.
15:21You are all back on the buzzers.
15:24Best of luck, everyone.
15:25Let's start the timers.
15:27Kodiak Island and Nantucket.

16:00Is correct.
16:02Oh!
16:03That's the end of the category.
16:06Sean, how does that feel when you're just watching your money count down?
16:13A little bit terrifying.
16:16And do you think the nerves are starting to really build up as well?
16:19Oh, yeah.
16:20Yeah, it's different when you're sat at home.
16:21Yeah.
16:22I 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.
16:31Oh, hey, Sean.
16:32And I've got to fly into Java.
16:34No, you don't!
16:36It is the pressure of the show.
16:39June, that was a little bit tight for you there as well, but you got in there with one.
16:43I did.
16:45Still in the danger zone there though, you and Sean.
16:48Just because I'm at the bottom doesn't mean I can't come up.
16:51June, I love your confidence.
16:54Fighting talk.
16:55I've seen some epic comebacks on this show, I can tell you.
16:58Right.
16:59The next set of questions is about...
17:06Are you on social media loads, June?
17:09A little bit.
17:10Hmm.
17:11Well, I'm going to give you the letters of a widely used social media abbreviation.
17:17I will also give you the words that those letters stand for apart from the last word.
17:23I'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.
17:41OK.
17:42Here is your first question.
17:45YOLO and you only live June once.
17:48Is correct.
17:50June, she pulled it out of the bag when she needed to.
17:54June, if ever there was a time, that was the time.
17:57OK.
17:59So, June, you're safe for now.
18:01You are all back on the buzzers.
18:04Let's start the timers.

18:36IMHO.
18:38Oh!
18:42IMHO, Sean.
18:43In my humble...
18:44I ain't got a clue.
18:45Oh.
18:46Hey, listen.
18:48Oh.
18:49Sean, are you on social media a lot?
18:51LOL.
18:52LOL.
18:54Yeah.
18:56Oh, Sean, I wasn't laughing out loud for you.
18:58It'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
19:04what set of questions are going to come out.
19:06If you know it, you know it.
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.
19:11Oh, of course.
19:12She knew it.
19:13The comeback queen.
19:14Yeah.
19:15She knew what she had to do and she pulled it out of the bag.
19:17Unfortunately, though, Sean, it does mean we're going to have to say goodbye.
19:21Thank you for having me.
19:22It's been great.
19:24Sean, you're out of time and you're out of money.
19:27I really love that.
19:28APPLAUSE
19:33So, the rest of you, well done on making it through to the next round.
19:37Oh, June, a little bit squeaky bum there at times.
19:41It was, it was.
19:42I thought you I was coming back, though.
19:44You did tell us, and do you know what?
19:46You pulled it out of 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-hm.
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.
20:08June, £340.
20:10Not too bad, not 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.
20:30Let's top up those timers.
20:36This time, because it's round three,
20:38we're giving you three clues to each answer.
20:41But as before, the cash countdown will be even faster.
20:45Our first set of questions is about...
20:50..European cities.
20:53OK?
20:54So, I will give you the names of two cities
20:56that are in the same country in Europe,
20:58along with the initial letter of the country
21:01in which they are located.
21:03I just need you to name the country they are both in.
21:07OK?
21:09Time is money.
21:10So, here is your first question.
21:15Malaga and Seville, S.
21:18June.
21:19Spain.
21:20Is correct.
21:22So, June, you're safe for now.
21:25You're all back on the buzzes.
21:27Let's start the timers.
21:29Rosgilde and Aarhus, D.
21:31Too slow, it's Denmark.
21:34Innsbruck and Salzburg, A.
21:38June.
21:39Austria.
21:40Correct.
21:41Speed up the timers.
21:42H and Debrecen, H.
21:44Tony.

21:47Is correct.
21:48Ghent and Antwerp, B.

21:54Lose £50.
21:55Plovdiv and Sofia, B.
21:57Sedim.
21:58Bulgaria.
21:59Is correct.
22:04Could have done a bit of damage that round.
22:06I thought June was going to be going for its speed and those timers up a bit more.
22:10Did you know a few more of them, June?
22:12I did, yeah.
22:13I did.
22:14Yeah, I just didn't want to quite take the risk and buzz in.
22:16Yeah.
22:17Just playing it safe, guys.
22:18Just playing it safe.
22:19Protecting that timer and all £1,500 in it.
22:23Right.
22:24Our next set of questions is all about...
22:27Icons.
22:28In 2019, BBC2 aired Icons, an eight-part TV series celebrating the achievements of some of the
22:37greatest figures of the 20th century.
22:40I will give you a clue to someone on this list consisting of the year they were born,
22:45a brief description 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.
23:15Start the timers.
23:171882, author off to The Lighthouse and Virginia.
23:23Too slow, it's Wolf.
23:261880, deafblind writer and activist and Helen.

24:16Too slow, it's Turing.

24:281926, female star of Some Like It Hot and Marilyn.
24:33Tawny.
24:34Marilyn Monroe.
24:35It's correct.
24:37And then it's the end of the category.
24:40Oof.
24:41Tony.
24:42It's done some damage, that one.
24:44Bad round.
24:45It's done some serious damage.
24:48You lost £1,000 in that category alone.
24:52How did it feel?
24:53Hearing those coins tick down and then June buzzing in every so often and speeding them up a little bit.
24:59Tears 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...
25:09June, 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, so it's worth the risk.
25:21Worth the risk.
25:23Unfortunately, that risk didn't pay off.
25:25However, 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.
25:49I'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.
25:58Please 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.
26:06How's your rock knowledge, Sadeem?
26:07It's not too bad. It's more around being hip-hop, but rock or door.
26:12Oh. Oh.
26:13This could be dangerous. How about you, Tony?
26:16Not too bad. Not too bad.
26:19Oh.
26:21Could be interesting.
26:23Let's see.
26:25You are all on the buzzers.
26:27Here is your first question.
26:30Somebody to love.
26:32Another one bites the dust. Sadeem?
26:34Queen.
26:35Correct.
26:38That must take the pressure off a little bit, Sadeem.
26:43Nice.
26:45So you're safe for now.
26:47You are all back on the buzzers.
26:50Let's start the timers.
26:52Think. I say a little prayer and respect June.
26:55Aretha Franklin.
26:56Correct.
26:57Heart-shaped box.
26:58Come as you are and smells like teen spirit.
27:02Sadeem.
27:03Nirvana.
27:04It's correct.
27:05Speed up the timers.
27:06Feeling good.
27:07My baby just cares for me and I put a spell on you.
27:11Sadeem.
27:12Nina Simone.
27:13Correct.
27:14Speed up the timers.
27:15Hot stuff.
27:16Love to love you.
27:18Tony.
27:19You 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.
27:30Hot stuff.
27:31Love to love you, baby.
27:32And I feel love are all done as summer.
27:34Yeah.
27:36Oh, Tony.
27:37You've been a great contestant.
27:39But unfortunately you couldn't just quite hold your own against these two.
27:43Nope.
27:44Couple of good ones, these.
27:45Yeah.
27:46Have you enjoyed your time today, though?
27:48I have enjoyed it.
27:49It's been absolutely wonderful.
27:51Brilliant.
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.
28:01Tony, you're out of time and you're out of money.
28:09So, June and Sadeem, you've made it through to the head-to-head.
28:12Well done.
28:14June, what a turnaround there from 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 Sadeem, it's not a bad round from you either, that one.
28:31It came back in somehow.
28:34Well, the money that you've saved will be carried through to the final
28:37if you make it there.
28:39Let's see what you've saved.
28:41June, fantastic.
28:43£1,300.
28:47And Sadeem, another good round, £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.
29:11Welcome back.
29:12This is Time Is Money.
29:14It's been a thrilling game so far and we are left with just two players.
29:20June.
29:22Struggling 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.
29:29I am.
29:30I'm over the moon.
29:31Worth the travel.
29:33Fantastic.
29:34Now you've got to take Sadeem on.
29:36And he's been pretty consistent throughout the whole game.
29:40How are you feeling about the head-to-head?
29:43Silently confident.
29:44Oh, she is confident.
29:46I like it.
29:47Sadeem, 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!
30:03Well, it's time for our head-to-head.
30:07We're going to top up your timers this time with £1,750.
30:13Let's top up those timers.
30:18This head-to-head is all about staying in control as your opponent's money drains away.
30:24I'm going to ask you questions on a particular category which will change every five questions.
30:29Answer 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...

30:59You're both on the buzzes.

31:02Which famous Scott received a knighthood in 2019 for his services to tennis and charity?

35:06Yes.
35:07Oh.
35:09I did hear that tune.
35:12Siddeem.
35:14She was just too much for you there in that head-to-head, wasn't she?
35:18Yeah.
35:18Good on her.
35:19Good on her.
35:20What do you think went wrong?
35:22Jamie.
35:23Oh.
35:24Jamie's.
35:24Well, it was Jamie Redknapp that was your downfall there.
35:29You said Jamie Carragher, but you buzzed in very early.
35:33If you'd waited just a little bit longer, I would have said,
35:36and is the son of former West Ham football manager, Harry?
35:41No.
35:41That might have got you it.
35:42Would you have known that then?
35:43I would have, definitely.
35:44That's the risk, isn't it?
35:46Time is money in this game.
35:47Do you jump in and take a chance?
35:49And it just didn't pay off, unfortunately.
35:51You were ahead for a lot of that.
35:54Just turned it around right at the last moment there.
35:59What's it feel like when you're having to watch your money count down
36:01and she's speeding it up?
36:02Yeah, it's nerve-wracking,
36:03especially when you say Leonardo instead of Jamie.
36:07I mean, I wasn't going to bring that back home.
36:09They didn't seem like any need to rub salt in the wound there.
36:12But do you know what?
36:12That's the pressure of the game, isn't it?
36:14It is.
36:14You know it's Jamie you're looking for,
36:16but you think that could be your right answer
36:17and there's nothing else there in the brain.
36:20Oh, Sadim.
36:21Well, do you know what?
36:22Just getting through to the head-to-head is no mean feat,
36:25so you've done exceptionally well.
36:27You've been a brilliant player,
36:29but unfortunately, it's time to say goodbye.
36:31Thank you for having us.
36:33Good luck.
36:34Sadim, you're out of time and you're out of money.
36:43But June, who would have thought it?
36:46After that lulling round two,
36:49she's here and she's on her way through to the final.
36:53How does it feel?
36:54I'm absolutely fizzing with excitement.
36:56I can tell, I can tell, but do you know what?
36:59You've been saying it all along, haven't you?
37:01You've been saying it all along, and I 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.
37:11I did myself proud, if anything.
37:13I did myself proud to get this for.
37:15Brilliant.
37:16The pressure is really ramping up.
37:18Join me after the break as June plays to win all the cash she's saved,
37:21if she can stop all the money timers.
37:23Welcome back to Time Is Money, where June is about to take on her biggest challenge yet.
37:40Congratulations, June, you've made it.
37:44Oh, my word.
37:45It's all about you, but there were times in the game there where I was wondering if it might be possible,
37:50but you never seemed to falter.
37:52I don't know if you just had all this self-confidence, but 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, focusing 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.
38:10Get the questions right.
38:11And 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.
38:22Absolutely brilliant.
38:24Well, now's your chance to win the money that you saved earlier in the game.
38:29Let's bring back your previous money timers.
38:33We had a great round one, June.
38:36Saved £880.
38:38Round two was there, 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.
38:52All in all, that is looking pretty good, June.
38:55You must be happy with that performance.
38:57I 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, you have the chance to top up your timers
39:23one last time with up to £2,000.
39:27There are five questions and five chances to top up your timers.
39:32But get one wrong and your highest timer will lock.
39:36Are you ready?
39:37I am.
39:38Let's play.
39:39Which British singer has had number ones in America with watermelon sugar and as it was?
39:50Harry Siles.
39:51It's correct.
39:52Top up the timers.
39:53Which royal estate in Scotland was purchased by Prince Albert for Queen Victoria in 1852?
40:05Balmoral.
40:06It's correct.
40:07Top up the timers.
40:08Which 1726 novel by Jonathan Swift features the lands of Laputa and Lilliput?
40:17Gulliver's Travels.
40:18It's correct.
40:19Top up the timers.
40:20Rear Admiral is a rank in which service of the British Armed Forces?
40:31The Army.
40:32Incorrect.
40:33It's the Royal Navy.
40:34Lock the highest timer.
40:36Which fruit with green or yellow flesh is the main ingredient in guacamole?
40:43Mango.
40:46Incorrect.
40:47It's avocado.
40:48Lock the highest timer.
40:49Well, that's not bad, June.
40:50Three out of five and we've really made a big difference there to timer number two which is sitting
40:59at £640.
41:00Brilliant.
41:01So, it's good.
41:02She'll be pleased with that.
41:03Yeah.
41:04It's a fairly substantial amount of money there, June.
41:07If you win some of that today, what's the plan?
41:10I'm planning on travelling.
41:11I love travel.
41:12Mm-hm.
41:13But 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 and drank
41:25with the locals and just, I 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.
41:36Where are you hoping to go to next June?
41:38Well, 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 our travelling bingo lover.
41:53Do you play bingo when you're off travelling anywhere?
41:55I 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.
42:02Have you?
42:03What have you won?
42:04Just before last Christmas, I won £3,900.
42:07Wow.
42:08I dropped the big one and I nearly fainted, so...
42:11You did.
42:12So, you'll be used to holding your nerve and performing under pressure than June?
42:15Yeah.
42:16Ooh.
42:17Well, let's hope that look and them nerves of steel are going to help today.
42:22It's time for the final.
42:24Your 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.
42:33But get one wrong and the most recently stopped timer will restart.
42:37If you can stop all four timers before any of them hit zero, then you will take home whatever
42:43money remains.
42:44What?
42:45But 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?
42:59Two.
