Episode 1 The Edge

APPLAUSE

Hello, I'm Mark Benton

and welcome to the quiz show that's about brains and balls.

In life, there's often a thin line between glorious success

and total failure and here that line is known as...

..The Edge.

Yes, it's down these lanes that today's game will be won and lost

as players roll their balls down either the green, the blue,

the yellow or the intimidating red lane.

The nearer they get to the edge...

..the more money they earn.

But if they roll over the edge...

..they get nothing.

Let's meet the players who are going to push themselves to the edge.

Hello. I'm Colin from Wolverhampton.

I work in publishing and I'm a hockey goalkeeper

-so I'm going to be ruthless.

-Hi, my name's Dionne.

I'm 31, I'm from Manchester and I'm a dental technician.

Hi, my name's Scott. I'm 19, from Devon

and I'm an international business student.

Hi, my name is Shirley. I'm from Bristol. I'm a merchandiser

and I've been playing badminton and netball for over 30 years.

-APPLAUSE

-Hello, guys.

The very best of luck to you all.

Now, only one of you can make it through to today's final.

In a moment, all four of you are going to take to the lanes

to roll for big money.

Which lane you roll down will be decided

in a battle of general knowledge.

I'm going to ask a series of questions.

Buzz in with a correct answer and your ball moves up towards you.

Buzz in with an incorrect answer and you'll be frozen out.

The first player to release their ball gets first choice of lane.

So, the best brains get the best lanes.

Fingers on buzzers.

-Name the animal that appears on the logo for the World Wide Fund for Nature. Colin.

-Panda.

That's correct.

Give the name of the actress who says the famous line,

-"I want to be alone." Shirley.

-Marlene Dietrich.

I'm sorry, it was Greta Garbo.

It was, "I want to be alone," and it was in the 1932 movie Grand Hotel.

Shirley, you're frozen out for the next question.

Name the star sign of a person born on Halloween.

-Scott.

-Scorpio.

That's correct. That's also my star sign so watch out.

Shirley, you're back in play.

Name the colour of the flag used in Formula 1 to indicate

-there is danger ahead... Scott.

-Yellow flag.

That's correct. No overtaking.

Name the type of eclipse that occurs when the Earth is positioned

-between the sun and the moon. Shirley.

-Solar.

I'm sorry, it was lunar. It was lunar eclipse.

You're frozen out again, Shirley.

Name the MP who was appointed Home Secretary in May 2010.

-Dionne.

-David Blunkett.

I'm sorry, it was Theresa May.

Dionne, you're frozen for the next question.

Shirley, you're back in play.

Name the EastEnders character played by Lacey Turner.

-Scott.

-Stacey Slater.

That's correct. Well done. Dionne, you're back in play.

Scott, just one more correct answer and you get first choice of lane.

-Give the middle name of Harry Potter. Scott.

-James.

-Correct! Well done, Scott.

-APPLAUSE

-Are you a big Harry Potter fan, Scott?

-I am, yeah.

-Excellent.

Well, you get first choice of lane. The shortest lane rolls first.

So it'll be green, then blue, yellow and finally red.

You've all tried the lanes before the show

so the big question is, Scott, which lane are you going to go for?

-I'm going to go for the green.

-Why are you going for the green?

Purely because it's the shortest. Hopefully it will be the easiest.

Well, Scott, you'll be setting the marker to beat for the other contestants.

-You're first on the green lane.

-APPLAUSE

Three lanes still up for grabs. We've reset the podiums.

Fingers on buzzers.

Name the common metal that is also slang for a police officer. Colin.

-Copper.

-Correct.

Name the powdery substance produced by the anthers of a flowering plant.

-Colin.

-That's correct.

Name the recording artist who has had number ones

with Sexy Back and Mirrors. Dionne.

-Justin Timberlake.

-That's correct.

Name the capital city of Cuba. Colin.

-Havana.

-That's correct. Cuba.

So, one more correct answer, Colin, and you get next choice of lane.

Name the charter signed in 1215 by King John.

-Dionne.

-Magna Carta.

-Correct. Was that a guess?

-Yeah.

-Well done.

Give the common English name for the Japanese Shinkansen train.

-Colin.

-Bullet.

-That's correct. Well done, Colin!

-APPLAUSE

-You get next choice of lane.

Three remain.

You have a choice of the blue, the yellow or the red.

-Which one takes your fancy?

-I'm going to go blue.

-Blue. Why the blue?

-It's the second shortest.

The second shortest!

I got the edge in practice so maybe I'll do it again.

All eyes on you, Colin. No pressure.

Good luck. You will roll second on the blue lane.

APPLAUSE

Only two lanes left. We've reset the podiums. Fingers on buzzers.

Name the only water sport in the Olympics in which men don't compete.

-Shirley.

-Synchronised swimming.

Correct.

Give the part of the eye that is another name for a student.

-Shirley.

-Pupil.

That's right.

-Give the first name of the Princess Royal. Shirley.

-Anne.

Correct. Just one more correct answer, Shirley,

and you get next choice of lane.

-and singer born Priscilla White in 1943. Dionne.

-Cilla Black.

That's correct.

-Name the minimum voting age in the UK general election. Shirley.

-18.

That's correct. Well done, Shirley.

APPLAUSE

You've released your ball first so you get third choice of lane.

Two remain. Which do you want and which will you leave to Dionne?

-You've got yellow or red.

-I'm going to go for yellow.

-Oh, no!

-Come on, go for the red!

-I'm going to go for yellow.

-Why yellow?

-Same reason as the other guys, I'm afraid.

It is the next shortest available.

Shirley, you'll roll third on the yellow lane.

APPLAUSE

OK, Dionne, that leaves you with the red lane.

-How do you feel about that?

-I'm OK. I might just get the edge.

Exactly. I wish you the best of luck. I hope you do.

You'll roll fourth on the red lane.

APPLAUSE

Who's staying and who's going home? Let's find out.

It's time to take to The Lanes.

APPLAUSE

Welcome to The Lanes. This is where you earn your money.

The cash zones are now activated,

starting with £1 at the beginning of the lane,

right up to the edge which, in Round 1, is worth...

-..£1,000.

-APPLAUSE

Oh, yeah!

Stop your ball on the edge to win that money.

Go over the edge and you get nothing.

You each have one roll down your respective lanes to earn as much as you can.

For three of you, whatever you earn will be added to your personal bank,

which you'll play for should you reach the final.

But whoever earns the least in this round is leaving us.

The shortest lane rolls first and will be setting the score to beat.

-Scott, are you confident?

-Yeah.

-It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

It's gentle. Caressed the ball. Here we go.

-Scott, well done.

-That's a good start. £400.

Do you think that's enough to get you through?

-I don't know. Have to wait and see.

-Wait and see. OK.

Let's put that money onto your board. £400, Scott. OK.

APPLAUSE

Colin, you're next on the blue lane.

-Are you confident of getting higher than 400?

-58%.

Well, if you score £450 or more,

that means you're through to the next round.

Colin, it's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

Here we go. Nice technique. Nice foot placement.

It's going. Oh! Hey!

-£400 as well. Well done, Colin.

-APPLAUSE

Level pegging, you two.

So, that means either you are both safe and through to the next round

or you're going to face each other in a roll-off.

Shirley, you're rolling third on the yellow lane.

-Smiling. Do you think you can get more than 400?

-I hope so.

Remember, get it on the edge and you will get 1,000 so that is always worth thinking about.

Shirley, it's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

It's going fast. Is it going to go past 400?

It's slowing down. Oh!

-Oh, just!

-APPLAUSE

Well done, Shirley.

I thought we were going to have a three-way tie breaker.

Shirley, let's get that on the board.

APPLAUSE

Shirley, you're definitely through to the next round.

-That's good news, isn't it?

-Definitely.

Didn't want to go out on the first round.

Well, hopefully you can relax a bit now.

-So, Dionne. Hello!

-Hello!

You have to score 450 or more to guarantee your place

in the next round.

It is time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

The ball is away. It's got speed. Has it got too much speed?

Is it slowing down? This is looking good.

This is looking very good.

-Is it going to stop?

-AUDIENCE GROANS

No!

Dionne, you rolled over the edge, which means you got nothing.

So, at the end of the rolls, Scott, you scored 400, Colin,

you scored 400, Shirley, you scored 450 and Dionne, you have nothing.

So, Scott, Colin and Shirley, you're through to the next round.

Please return to your podiums.

APPLAUSE

Dionne, you earned the least amount of money in that round

so I'm afraid that you're leaving with nothing.

-I was sure you were going to hit the edge there.

-I know. I thought I was.

It was slowing down and slowing down and it just rolled off, didn't it?

I just rolled it a bit too hard.

-Listen, you've been a great contestant.

-Thank you.

-Dionne, everybody.

-APPLAUSE

Colin, Scott and Shirley, congratulations.

You're through to the next round.

Colin, what do you do in your spare time?

-I'm a hockey goalkeeper, Mark.

-Do you wear all the gear?

-Yeah.

People say I'm the craziest person on the team

but I think I'm the sanest because I have got all the gear on.

-What else are you into?

-I like a bit of prog rock.

A man after my own heart.

In fact, I've got my Wizard suit in the dressing room

and I may wear it later on.

Scott, you're an international business student.

Sounds a bit mysterious.

-Are you an international man of mystery? No?

-Not really.

I run a small business back at home, which I do in my spare time

-when I'm not studying.

-What does the business sell?

It's a sports management, sports events, sorry.

Well, that would be good for me because I'm very, very sporty(!)

-Shirley, you like netball.

-I do.

Could you just tell me, what's the difference between netball

-and basketball?

-Basketball is not as skilful.

Yes. Are you obsessed with it?

I am a bit, yes. My whole family.

Do you all walk around supermarkets, bouncing your ball all the time?

No, just wearing the short skirt usually.

Yes, I always wear my short skirt in supermarkets(!)

The money you earned is added to your personal bank.

So, Colin, you have £400,

Scott, you have £400 and Shirley, you have £450.

Only one of you can reach today's final and play for that money.

Round 2.

And we're shutting down the shortest lane.

And now we're introducing danger zones,

meaning any of the cash zones from £10 all the way to £950

could become a danger zone.

If that happens, its value drops to just £1.

How many danger zones you face depends on how well

you do on the questions.

If you're first to release your ball,

you get first choice of lane and you get no danger zones.

Whoever gets second choice of lane gets one danger zone

and the final player has no choice of lane and two danger zones.

So the best brains really do get the best lanes.

The questions now require not one but two correct answers.

When you're ready, fingers on buzzers.

Name the two days of the week that are eight letters long. Scott.

Wednesday and Thursday.

I'm sorry, it was Saturday and Thursday.

Scott, you are frozen out for the next question.

Name the two colours on the flag of Nigeria.

-Colin.

-Green and white.

Correct. Scott, you're back in play.

Name the two music legends who were once married to Pattie Boyd. Colin.

George Harrison and Mick Jagger.

George Harrison was correct but we also needed Eric Clapton.

You are frozen out for the next question, Colin.

Name the two Scrabble letters worth 10 points. Scott.

Z and...Q.

Correct. Colin, you're back in play.

Name the dancers that performed Cheek To Cheek

together in the 1935 film Top Hat.

-Shirley.

-Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

Correct.

Give the names of a male and female sheep. Colin.

Correct.

Name the two elements that combine to create water.

-Scott.

-Hydrogen and oxygen.

Correct.

Give the stage names of U2 band mates

-Paul Hewson and David Evans. Colin.

-Bono and The Edge.

Correct. Colin, you need one more correct answer

to get first choice of the lanes.

Name the two continents spanned by Turkey.

-Scott.

-Europe and Asia.

Correct. Level pegging.

You too need one more correct answer and you get first choice of lane.

Name the twin children of Margaret Thatcher.

-Colin.

-Carol and Mark.

-That's correct. Well done, Colin.

-APPLAUSE

You've released your ball first, which means you'll face no danger zones.

Now, Colin, which lane would you like?

You've got blue, yellow or red.

-I'm going to be boring and stick with blue.

-Why is that?

Because I'm kind of getting the feel of it.

So, Colin, you'll roll first down the blue lane.

APPLAUSE

Two lanes left. We've reset the podiums.

Fingers on buzzers.

Name the two judges on The Great British Bake Off. Scott.

Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood.

Well done, yes. That's right, Scott, just at the last minute.

Name the two prime numbers that add up to 18.

-Scott.

-7 and 11.

Correct.

Name the two English counties ending in "folk".

-Shirley.

-Norfolk and Suffolk.

That's right.

That's correct. Give the first names of the two American Presidents

with the surname Roosevelt. Scott.

Franklin and Theodore.

That is correct.

Scott, one more correct answer and you get the next choice of lane.

Name the two colours of the highest value balls in snooker. Shirley.

Black and pink.

Correct. Level pegging. You too need one more correct answer

and you will get first choice of lane.

Name the two different letters that characterise

-the male and female chromosome. Shirley.

-X and Y.

-That is correct. Well done, Shirley.

-APPLAUSE

You've released your ball second,

which means you'll face one danger zone.

Which lane would you like? You've got a choice of yellow and red.

I'm going to go with the yellow, Mark.

Why are you going to go for the yellow?

I had a practice in the first round on it and I beat the boys.

-Is your competitive streak coming out?

-It may be.

-I like it!

So, Shirley, you will roll second on the yellow lane.

APPLAUSE

Scott, what happened?

You rolled first last time, got no choice at all this time.

-You've got the red lane and two danger zones.

-Yeah.

How do you feel about that?

-Well, I'll give it a go.

-You are going to go for it?

-100%.

-Go for the edge.

-I like it. You'll roll third on the red lane.

APPLAUSE

Colin, Scott, Shirley. Time to take to The Lanes.

APPLAUSE

We're back at The Lanes and the cash zones are activated.

Stop your ball on the edge in this round and you'll win...

-..£2,000. Oh, yes.

-APPLAUSE

But go over the edge and you get nothing.

You each have two rolls to earn as much as you can.

The rolls will be combined and for two of you,

whatever you earn will be added to your personal bank.

But, irrespective of that bank,

whoever earns the least in this round will be going home.

Colin, you're rolling first down the blue lane

and you'll face no danger zones.

-You've got to be happy about that.

-Very happy.

Colin, it's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

The ball is away. It's over a pound. That's good.

Here we go. And...

-Oh, well!

-APPLAUSE

You scored £400. Let's get that on the board.

APPLAUSE

Now, I hope you're not going to stick to 400 all the way through.

-It's a little bit further. Just not quite far enough.

-Yes.

-I like your style, it's good. Professional stance.

-Thank you.

Shirley, you're rolling down the yellow lane

and you'll face one danger zone.

Before you roll we need to find out where the danger zone will be.

It's racing up and down your lane.

It'll stop when you hit that button. Good luck.

That's £450. That's right slap bang in the middle.

-Are you happy with that?

-Not really, that's where I rolled last time.

That'll encourage you to roll higher.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

We're off. This looks fast.

Is it too fast? Is it too fast?

Past the danger zone. This is looking good.

-Yes! Well done, Shirley!

-APPLAUSE

I had palpitations for a minute there.

I thought it was going to go over the edge. That's £750!

APPLAUSE

-Shirley, that's a bit better than the 450 last time.

-It was.

What a great start.

Scott. You have the red lane and you will face two danger zones.

Before you roll we need to find out where the danger zones will be.

They're racing up and down the lanes.

When you press that button, we'll find out where they are. Good luck.

So, they're on 150 and 750.

-Nicely spaced.

-It's all right.

You've got a big target to aim for in the middle.

-Are you going to do that?

-I'll go beyond it.

-You want to go for the edge? £2,000?

-100%, yeah.

Scott, I like your confidence!

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

-It is a difficult lane.

-Oh, no.

-It's slowing down.

-Oh, no!

Make it out of a pound. Out of a pound.

-Go on, son.

-That's it!

-AUDIENCE GROANS

-Well done, Scott.

APPLAUSE

-£250. Are you happy with that?

-It wasn't what I meant to do.

-It wasn't, you know...

-I thought you were going to land on a danger zone

-so it's better than one pound, isn't it?

-It is.

Let's get that on your board.

And remember, you've still got another roll to come.

Before everyone rolls again,

let's have a look at what you've earned so far.

Colin, you have £400, Shirley, you have £750

and Scott, you have £250.

The danger zones remain where they are.

-Colin. 400. You can go one better this time?

-I certainly hope so.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

We're away. It's looking good.

Is it going to slow down?

Past the 400 onto £700, Colin. Well done.

APPLAUSE

-Better than 400.

-It is. 300 better than 400.

Let's add that 700 to your first roll.

-That makes a total of £1,100.

-APPLAUSE

That's a great target to beat, Colin.

Shirley, you've still got that danger zone.

You have to score at least 400 to guarantee a place in the next round.

-Are you ready?

-Ready, Mark.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

OK, here we go. More than 400, please.

Are you going to get that?

-AUDIENCE GROANS

-What happened, Shirley?

-Jittery, I think.

-Nerves got the better of you?

Nerves got the better of me that time.

Well, let's get that money on your board.

After two rolls you've got £900.

APPLAUSE

Scott, the pressure is on you.

You have to score at least £700 to get through to the next round.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

Please avoid those danger zones at all costs.

Is this going too fast? There's one.

Oh! Is it going to slow down?

-Oh! Oh!

-APPLAUSE

£900, Scott!

Well done! Let's put that up onto your board.

That gives you a grand total of £1,150.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-That's an amazing roll.

-Pleased with that.

I thought you were going to get the edge for a minute.

-Well, it's good enough.

-So, with the two rolls added together, Colin,

you scored 1,100. Scott, you scored 1,150.

And, Shirley, you scored 900.

Which means Colin and Scott, you're through to the next round.

-Please return to your podiums.

-APPLAUSE

Shirley, you earned the least amount of money in that round.

I'm afraid you're leaving here with nothing.

-What do you think happened?

-Just...didn't follow through.

LAUGHTER

I don't quite know how to answer that, Shirley.

But on that note, you've been a good contestant.

-Shirley, everybody.

-APPLAUSE

Colin and Scott, congratulations, you're through to the next round.

So, Colin, hockey.

-Is there a particular team that you always want to beat?

-Well...

All of them?

I don't know if I should say because they might kind of hurt me

-next time we play against them.

-A rough and tough sport then, yeah?

-Yes, it can be.

-Scott, what do you do in your spare time?

I play a lot of football and I do tap dancing in my spare time as well.

Is that the only kind of dance that you do?

I used to do break dancing when I was younger but...

Because you know that, obviously, I'm a dancer.

-LAUGHTER

-It has to be said.

Can you show us a few moves? Can you teach me something?

A bit of break dancing? I'll show you one. What about this one. Ready?

Here we go.

It's good. APPLAUSE

So, the money you earned is added to your personal bank.

Colin, you now have £1,500 and Scott, you have £1,550.

That money is safely banked for the final,

should you manage to get there.

Round 3.

And we're shutting down another lane.

In this round there's only one danger zone.

The first player to release their ball will have control of that

danger zone and can place it anywhere on their opponent's lane.

So, as ever, the best brain gets the best lane.

The questions now require not two but three correct answers.

Fingers on buzzers.

Name the three gifts first given in the carol the Twelve Days of Christmas.

-Scott.

-A partridge in a pear tree,

two turtledoves and three French hens.

Correct. Name the three characters that accompany Dorothy

and Toto to the Emerald... Colin.

Scarecrow, Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion.

That's correct. It was the Emerald City in the Wizard of Oz, of course.

Name the three capital cities of South Africa. Scott.

Johannesburg, Cape Town and Pretoria.

-I'm sorry, Scott. It was Cape Town, Pretoria and Bloemfontein.

-Oh.

You're frozen out for the next question.

Name the three surnames of the trio who produced

Kylie Minogue's I Should Be So Lucky. Colin.

Stock, Aitken, Waterman.

Correct. Scott, you're back in play.

Name the three main science subjects taught in...

-Scott.

-Chemistry, biology and physics.

That is correct. Taught at GCSE level.

Name the three face cards

in a standard 52-card deck. Scott.

Jack, Queen, King.

Correct. Scott, one more correct answer

and you get first choice of name.

Name the three colours on the Italian flag. Scott.

Green, white and red.

That's correct. Well done, Scott.

-APPLAUSE

-You get first choice of lane,

and in this round you'll roll first whichever lane you choose

because after you roll you get to place a danger zone on Colin's lane

to make things as difficult as possible for him.

You've got yellow or red. Which lane would you like?

-I'm going yellow.

-Why?

-Red was to nerve-racking. I can't do it again.

So, you'll be rolling first on the yellow Lane.

APPLAUSE

That means, Colin, you've been left with the red lane.

-How do you feel about that?

-Well, my favourite has gone, so...

Just think about hockey without the stick. Yes?

Colin, you roll second down the red lane.

APPLAUSE

OK, guys. It's time to take to The Lanes.

APPLAUSE

We're back at The Lanes and the cash zones are activated.

Stop your ball on the edge in this round and you'll win...

-..£3,000.

-APPLAUSE

But go over the edge and you get nothing.

You now have three rolls to earn as much as you can.

The rolls will be added together and one of you will be taking

the money earned with you through to the final.

But whoever earns the least from this round will be going home.

Scott, you'll roll first. I'll make a deal with you.

If you score over a pound and you don't get off the edge,

-will you do with a little tap dance?

-LAUGHTER

-No!

-Come on!

-SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

Maybe a little bit. Yeah, a little bit.

-Scott, it's time to take on The Edge.

-OK.

Let's roll.

Nice technique. The ball's going.

-Oh, this is looking good.

-Come on.

Oh, it's fast.

Is he going to be 900 again?

Not quite.

600, Scott.

That's a great start. Let's get that on the board.

There we are. 600.

Scott, you said you'd do us a little tap dance. Come on.

Let's have a little bit.

Oh, aye! Very good, Scott. Well done.

Scott, you now control a danger zone

and you can put anywhere on your opponent's lane.

From £10 up to 950.

Where would you like to put it?

I'll go 650.

Why?

Just hopefully he'll either match me or go below.

Or off the edge.

Let's put it on. 650.

That's lost from your lane, Colin, and it's replaced by just £1.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

Oh, it's very fast.

Is it too fast?

Slow down. Slow down.

What happened?

I was going for the edge, and I missed.

You could say that. Yes, you did.

Unfortunately, that's nothing to put on your board.

And after the first roll, Scott, you have £600. Colin, you have nothing.

Scott, it's your chance to build on that lead.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

We're away. This is fast.

Could this be on the edge? Could this hit the edge?

-Slow down!

-Slow down!

This is looking good.

No!

No! That was close.

Did you think you'd hit the edge there?

-For a minute, yeah. Teetered on the edge.

-I know.

It just went over, didn't it?

Well, you've still got one roll left, remember.

Scott, you now have a choice.

Do you want to keep that danger zone where it is

based on what you just rolled?

Or do you want to move it?

I'll move it up slightly to 750.

What's your thinking behind that?

I just think Colin's going to go close to the edge this time.

He's going to get it a lot more accurate.

Let's move that danger zone.

Colin, are you going to try and go for the edge?

I think so. Why not?

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

-Go on.

-It's slowing down.

It's a slow one. Out of the £1!

Just out of the £1. That's £10, Colin.

Let's add that roll to your first roll, which gives you a total of...

£10!

Scott, it's time for your third and final roll in this round.

If you score 400 or more with this roll,

you'll force Colin to go for the edge.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

-Oh, it's quite fast.

-Oh, no.

Is it too fast?

Is it too fast or is it going to hit the edge?

So, unfortunately,

that means we can't add anything to your total from your other rolls.

Which gives you a final score of...

£600.

What went wrong, Scott?

Just too fast, again.

-You have to be gentle.

-Yeah.

-Like a ballet dancer.

Scott, do you want to keep that danger zone where it is,

-or based on what you just rolled do you want to move it?

-Um...

Yeah, I'll move it to the 800.

Let's move that danger zone.

Why 800?

It should be bang on right in the middle of where Colin needs to get.

Colin...

..that's opened right up for you now.

A chance to steal it from Scott.

If you score...600 or more...

..you're going to be today's finalist.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

600 or more.

Oh, it's very fast. Is it too fast?

I think it's too hard.

Straight off the edge.

Colin, that means you score nothing.

We've got nothing to add to your total, which is £10.

With the three rolls added together, Scott, you have £600.

Colin, you have £10.

Which means, Scott, you take what you've earned to today's final.

Congratulations. Please, return to the podiums.

APPLAUSE

Colin, you earned the least in that round

which means you're going to be leaving us.

What happened?

It's this red line. I'm not very happy with it.

Were you angry? Did you just think, "Right. That's it"?

I just-I just kind of, yeah, saw red.

Do you know what? At least you went for it.

Absolutely. Go down in a blaze of glory.

In a blaze of glory.

Thanks for playing. You've been a great contestant.

Colin, everybody.

APPLAUSE

Scott, congratulations.

You're through to today's final where you'll be playing for all

the money you've earned so far. A total of £2,150.

-You are an international business student.

-I am.

International man of mystery. Yeah.

And overlord of the western hemisphere.

I wonder how you got to the final.

What are you going to do with the money if you win?

Probably go travelling again.

Any idea where you'd like to go?

Well, if I can get enough money together, South America.

-South America.

-Yeah.

-Brazil.

-Yeah, exactly.

Excellent. Well, I wish you the best of luck.

Thank you very much.

It's the final.

And we're shutting down one more lane.

Which leaves only the red lane.

We've removed all the cash values from that lane,

leaving only the edge,

which is now worth all the money you've earned today.

Stop your ball on the edge in the final and you'll win

£2,150.

But go over the edge and you get nothing.

But you have a chance to make it easier for yourself

by answering some more questions.

Each correct answer increases the size of your edge.

The more questions you get right,

the bigger the edge will be

and the easier your final roll.

Each question now requires four answers,

and you now have 75 seconds to answer as many as you can.

-I wish you the best of luck.

-Thank you.

Let's put 75 seconds on the clock.

-Your time will start when I've read the first question.

-OK.

APPLAUSE

Scott, congratulations.

You answered eight questions correctly.

Well done, Scott.

Here are the ones you missed out.

We asked you the four last words of the British national anthem.

You said, "God save our queen."

It was, "God save the queen." You've got to be specific.

Name the four films in the Indiana Jones series?

You could have had Raiders of the Lost Ark,

Temple of Doom, Last Crusade or the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Name the four original Stephenie Meyer books

featuring Bella and Edward.

Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn.

Four stations on a London Monopoly board?

Fenchurch Street, King's Cross, Marylebone or Liverpool Street.

To see what that score's done to the edge,

let's take to the lanes for the final time.

APPLAUSE

Every one of your correct answers increases the size of your edge.

Let's put your eight correct answers onto your lane.

That's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

CHEERING

Scott, that's your final edge.

How confident are you of hitting it?

Yeah. Hopefully, yeah, I should get it.

Well, you proved you've got the brains.

I just hope you've got the balls as well.

You now have a choice to make.

You can roll for the full £2,150 with only one ball

and one attempt to hit the edge.

Or you can take two balls,

but that means you'll only roll for half the money - £1,075.

Or you can take three balls, that's three attempts to hit the edge,

but you'll be playing for a third of the money,

which we've rounded up to £717.

What are you thinking, Scott? The choice is yours.

Immediate thoughts, I'm going to go all out, really.

I've got to go for the one ball.

So, you're giving yourself...?

Yeah, one ball. Going to go for it.

Scott, that's an incredibly brave decision.

You're giving yourself one chance to win £2,150.

APPLAUSE

It's time to take on The Edge.

For £2,150, for the final time...

..let's roll.

Oh, no!

No!

-Slow it down.

-It's awful.

-It's slowing down.

No.

Scott, what a brave decision. Was that your business mind working?

Well, yeah, I just wanted as much as I could get, really.

I thought it was going to slow down at the end,

-but it just whizzed off the edge, didn't it?

-Yeah.

You weren't able to hit your final edge today,

so sadly you're going home empty-handed.

-Have you enjoyed yourself?

-Yeah, massively so.

-You've been a brilliant contestant.

-Thank you.

-I wish you the best of luck.

-Cheers.

-Scott, everyone.

-Cheers.

APPLAUSE

Well, we'll be back next time with more new contestants

pushing themselves to the edge. Why? Because that's how we roll.

Goodbye, now.
