Episode 14 The Edge

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hello, I'm Mark Benton

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

Now, 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 go over the edge...

..they get nothing.

Let's meet the players who today

are going to push themselves to The Edge!

APPLAUSE

Hi, I'm Fee, I'm a sourcing manager and a chef

and I also practice kick boxing.

Hi, I'm Jonathan, I'm a student from Leeds and I'm a fencer.

Hi, I'm Heather, I'm 29 and from Birmingham

and I'm a mother to two boys under four.

Hi, I'm Rob, I'm a logistics expert from Warrington

and I have a habit of retaining useless information.

APPLAUSE

Welcome to you all and the very best of luck.

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

and roll for big money.

Which lane you roll down

will be determined in a battle of general knowledge.

I'm going to ask you a series of questions,

buzz in with the correct answer and your ball moves up towards you.

Buzz 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 really do get the best lanes.

Fingers on buzzers.

Jonathan.

Swan.

That's correct, it was swan. Well done, Jonathan.

APPLAUSE

You released your ball first, which means you get first choice of lane.

Now, the shortest lane rolls first, so it will be green, blue,

yellow and then red.

You all tried the lanes before the show, so the big question is, which one do you fancy?

I think I'm going to go blue because I probably had the best chance of getting The Edge there.

-How did you do on the blue before?

-I think I got quite far, in the last third or so.

Excellent, Jonathan, you'll be rolling second on the blue lane.

APPLAUSE

Three lanes still up for grabs.

That means, Fee and Rob, one more correct answer

and you get the next choice of lane.

Name the British sitcom set during World War II which tells

the story of French cafe owner Rene... Fee.

-'Allo 'Allo.

-It was. Well done, Fee!

APPLAUSE

You get next choice of lane. You can have green, yellow or red.

It's not going to be green. So I'm going to go yellow.

Why yellow?

I'm very heavy-handed.

Very heavy-handed - so you don't fancy the red, then?

-I might save the red for later.

-OK.

Well, Fee, you'll be running third on the yellow lane.

Only two lanes left. Fingers on buzzers.

Well done.

APPLAUSE

You get next choice of lane.

You can have green or red.

I will go for red.

Excellent. Why red?

Well, that's the one where the money will be won,

-so let's get practising on it now.

-I like it, Rob, you show no fear.

You will be running fourth on the red lane.

OK, Heather. That means you've been left with the green lane.

-Are you happy with that?

-Yes, it's all right.

So, Heather, you will be running first on the green lane.

APPLAUSE

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

It's time to take to The Lanes.

APPLAUSE

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

The cash zones are now activated.

Starting with £1 at the very beginning of the lane,

right up to The Edge, which in round one is worth £1,000.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

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 will play for should you reach the final.

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

Now, the shortest lane rolls first

and will be setting the score to beat.

-So, Heather, are you happy to be setting that target?

-Not really.

I feel a bit under pressure now.

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

Let's roll.

-What are we going to get?

-It's very gentle.

Heather, that roll scored you £350. Let's get that on the board!

APPLAUSE

Is that going to be enough, Heather?

Fingers crossed one of them is going to go over the edge.

For your sake, let's hope so. Jonathan.

If you score 400 or more,

that guarantees you a place in the next round.

-OK.

-It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

Is this too fast?

Oh, it's too fast I think.

GROANS

Oh, Jonathan, I'm sorry, that roll scores you nothing.

-What happened?

-Just a bit of panic, mate.

-Nerves got to you.

-Yeah.

All you can hope for now is that Fee or Rob go over the edge.

Heather, it does mean you're through to the next round.

So you can relax.

Fee, you know what you have to do.

If you keep your ball on the yellow lane,

you are through to the next round.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

-Oh, very fast.

-No, no, no, no!

GROANS

Fee, I'm sorry, that roll scores you nothing.

Jonathan, it's the lifeline you wanted.

-I knew it was going to happen, to be honest.

-You were confident, yeah?

-"No problem!"

-Never any worries.

So, Fee, Jonathan, you are both level pegging on nothing.

Rob, all you've got to do is keep it on the lane

and you are through to the next round.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

It's gentle. I think you are through to the next round, Rob.

Is it going to get out of the pound zone?

It isn't, but who cares? Let's put that pound on your board.

It's only a pound,

but more importantly you are through to the next round.

So, at the end of that roll,

Heather, you scored 350, Rob, you scored £1,

Jonathan and Fee, you both scored nothing.

Heather, Rob, you are through to the next round.

Please return to the podium.

APPLAUSE

Jonathan, Fee, to decide who stays and who goes,

we're going to have a roll off. Stay in your lanes.

We've removed all the cash values

and no money will be earned on this roll. You each roll once more.

Whoever is furthest from The Edge goes out.

You will both roll on my command, so, if you are ready,

it's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

It's fast. This is close, very close.

So, Fee, you got closest to The Edge

and you are through to the next round.

Please return to the podiums!

APPLAUSE

Unfortunately, Jonathan, I'm afraid you are leaving here with nothing.

-That was so close.

-It was so close, but, yeah. It is what it is.

You've been a great contestant. Have you enjoyed yourself?

-Yeah, I have, thank you.

-Jonathan, everybody!

APPLAUSE

Rob, well done, you are through to the next round. So, Fee, get you.

-You're a saucy manager.

-I'm

-sourcing

-manager.

Oh, a sourcing manager! What do you source?

Anything from a reindeer antler

-through to fancy toiletries for hotels.

-Oh.

-I bet you're relieved to get through that roll off.

-Yes. Yes.

So, Heather, you've got two kids. Have you come here for a rest?

-Yes, I did!

-Will they be watching you?

If we can tear them away from CBeebies.

-How old are they?

-Two and four.

-Oh, little ones!

-Yep.

Rob, what is a logistics expert?

I work for a major oil company and I help them

-with their distribution warehousing activities.

-I see.

-That's logistical, is it?

-That's logistics, yes. As the song goes.

Well, the money you've earned has gone to your personal bank.

So, Fee, you have nothing.

Heather, you have £350 and, Rob, you have £1.

But only one of you can reach today's final

and play for that money.

Round Two. We are shutting down the shortest lane.

Now we are 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 how well you

do in the questions. So, the best brains really do get the best lanes.

The questions now require not one but two correct answers.

Fingers on buzzers.

Name the two Oscar-nominated children of actor Henry Fonda. Rob.

-Jane and Peter.

-That's correct, it was Jane and Peter.

Name the two star signs beginning with L.

Heather.

Leo and Libra.

That's correct.

Name the leader of the law enforcement group

known as the Untouchables and the criminal he set out to capture.

Rob.

-Eliot Ness and Al Capone.

-It was Eliot Ness and Al Capone.

Name the two basic ingredients most commonly found

in the Asian dish sag aloo.

-Fee.

-Spinach and potato.

-That's right, it was.

Name the two parties that won the most seats

in the Scottish Parliament elections in 2011.

Rob.

Scottish National Party and Labour.

That's correct.

So, Rob, one more correct answer, you get first choice of lane.

Name the two artists who collaborated on the 1991 UK

number one single Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me. Rob.

George Michael and Elton John.

It was. Well done, Rob!

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

and you will face no danger zones.

-So, you can have blue, yellow or red.

-I'll take the yellow, please.

Why the yellow?

Well, because I'm rubbish on red, and to not go first

and to be able to get some cash hopefully to add to the £1.

Good strategy. Rob, you will be running second on the yellow lane.

APPLAUSE

Two lanes left, we've reset the podiums, fingers on buzzers.

Name the two words that form the Latin expression meaning

"the course of one's life",

abbreviated in business to CV.

-Curriculum Vitae.

-Correct.

Give the first names of the two main characters from the musical Grease.

-Heather.

-Sandy and Danny.

-It was Sandy and Danny.

Name the two words in the era abbreviation "BC".

Fee.

-Before Christ.

-Correct.

Name the two English universities collectively known as Oxbridge.

Fee.

-Oxford and Cambridge.

-Correct.

Fee, one more correct answer, you get next choice of lane.

Give the two first names of TV's Flower Pot Men.

-Fee.

-Bill and Ben.

Bill and Ben, that's correct. Well done, Fee!

That means you get next choice of lane.

You can have the blue or the red.

-I'll have red, please.

-Red! Why red?

-As I said, I'm heavy-handed.

-So, you will roll third on the red lane.

APPLAUSE

OK, Heather. You've been left with the blue lane, and two danger zones.

So, Heather, you will roll first on the blue lane.

APPLAUSE

Fee, Heather, Rob, it's time to take to The Lanes!

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

Stop your ball on The Edge in this round and you will win £2,000.

APPLAUSE

Go over the edge, 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 has the least in this round will be going home.

Heather, you are rolling first down the blue lane

and you will face two danger zones.

So, for the second time, you are rolling first.

You still happy to be setting the target?

-I've just got to give it my best shot, haven't I?

-Absolutely.

Try and get as close to The Edge as possible.

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

They are running up and down your lane, they will

stop when you press that button.

So, they've stopped on 950 and 350.

They are gone from your lane, to be replaced by just £1.

You happy with that?

The one in the middle isn't so bad, but the one at the end isn't...

It kind of makes it difficult if you want to go for The Edge, doesn't it?

-Yeah, definitely.

-Time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

-That's missed those danger zones.

-It's too heavy, it's too heavy.

It's too heavy.

Heather, that roll scores you nothing.

-What happened there?

-Sweaty palms, too much pressure.

Well, remember, all is not lost, you've still got one roll left.

Rob, you are rolling down the yellow lane.

You are facing no danger zones, yay!

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

Is this too soft?

Oh, dear.

Rob, that roll scores you £1, let's put that on the board.

Well, you've doubled your winnings.

So, that's your second roll

and the second time you've scored £1.

-Let's bank some more money with the next one.

-Yes, please.

-Fee.

So the target for you to beat from the first roll is £1.

It's a big one(!)

You're going to face one danger zone.

It's running up and down your lane, it will stop

when you press your button.

-That has stopped on 350. Not bad.

-Not bad.

I obviously want to get more than 350

so I've got quite a bit of nice space to get to beyond that.

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

Let's roll.

-We're off in the red lane.

-No, no, no.

-Is it strong enough?

Fee, that roll scores you £1. Let's put that on the board.

-You said to me you are heavy-handed!

-Yes. Clearly I'm adjusting!

Well, after the first rolls, let's look at what you've earned.

Rob, you have £1. Fee, you have £1.

And, Heather, you have nothing.

Now, the danger zones remain where they are.

-Heather.

-Yup.

-You need to score.

I know. Well, I'm glad they only got £1,

because at least I haven't got that much to... You know.

-I haven't got that much to beat.

-Still in with a shout.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

Is it going to get out of the £1 zone? It has, it has.

That wasn't intentional!

APPLAUSE

That roll scores you £10, let's put that on the board.

So, that means you are now in the lead!

Rob, that means you have to score at least £10 to

guarantee your place in the next round.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

£10 or more will put you through to the next round.

Past ten, this is looking good.

This means you are through to the next round, Rob.

That's £450, Rob, well done. Let's put that on the board.

APPLAUSE

-Are you happy you're through to the next round?

-A new personal best.

-It was, wasn't it? Better than £1, anyway.

-Much better.

-Yes.

So, Heather...

it's down to this roll.

If Fee can roll £10 or more, she's through to the next round.

If she can't or she goes over The Edge, you're through.

You ready, Fee?

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

Oh, too heavy.

Is it too fast?

-Heavy.

-Is it going to slow down?

I don't think it is.

-No.

-AUDIENCE GROAN

-The one thing you didn't want to do there, Fee.

-I know.

I'm afraid that roll scores you nothing.

So, with the two rolls added together...

Heather, you have £10, Rob, you have £451 and, Fee, you have just £1,

which means Heather, Rob, you're through to the next round.

Please return to the podiums.

APPLAUSE

Unfortunately, Fee, you earned the least amount of money in that

round and so you're going to be leaving here with nothing.

-I know.

-You said you were heavy-handed, didn't you?

-I did indeed, yes.

-It just whizzed over the edge.

-Yeah.

Soon as it left my hand, I knew, so... A shame.

Fee, everybody.

APPLAUSE

Heather, Rob, congratulations - you're through to the next round.

-So, Heather.

-Yeah.

-What do you do in your spare time?

I go to a yoga class on a Monday night, lots of dog walking with

the kids, erm, taking the kids to different playgroups,

doing different activities with them, basically.

It's all based around my kids, really.

Rob, what do you do in your spare time?

My main hobby is listening to music and going to see live bands.

Ah, who do you like?

I'm a bit of an '80s... stuck in the '80s,

so I like '80s bands and alternative music.

-So do you do the '80s dancing as well, then?

-I do dad dancing, yeah.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with a bit of dad dancing...

got me through Strictly.

LAUGHTER

The money you've earned will be added to your personal bank.

Heather, you have £360

and, Rob, you have £452.

Now, that money is safely banked for the final,

should you manage to get there.

Round Three.

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 brains get the best lanes.

The questions now require not two, but three correct answers.

Fingers on buzzers.

Name the three key components in the retro dessert arctic roll.

-Heather.

-Sponge, ice cream and jam.

That's correct.

Name the three words that make up the civil order acronym ASBO.

Heather.

Antisocial Behaviour.

Another one.

Order.

Correct, well done.

Name the three words that complete the well-known phrase

"keep your friends close and...?" Heather.

Your enemies closer.

That's correct. Storming ahead, Heather!

So, one more correct answer, you get first choice of lane.

Name the three-word expression of amusement

denoted by the texting shorthand LOL.

-Rob.

-Laugh out loud.

That's correct, laugh or laughing.

Name the three letters used to abbreviate the explosive

trinitrotoluene.

-Rob.

-TNT.

Correct.

Name the three colours of medals

awarded to the highest-place contestants...

-Heather.

-Gold, silver, bronze.

That's correct, well done, Heather.

APPLAUSE

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

And in this round, you roll first whichever lane you choose

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

anywhere you like to make things as difficult as possible for him.

So, you've got a choice of the yellow and the red.

Which one are you going to go for?

If I get to the final, then I'm going to have to roll the red,

so I feel that, maybe if I have a go now, then I'll get a practice.

Yeah, I'll do that. I'll have red.

Definitely, you're going to go for red? Made your mind up?

Don't give me options! Yeah, red. Yeah.

Well, Heather, you'll be rolling first on the red lane.

APPLAUSE

So, Rob, you've been left with the yellow lane.

-Are you happy about that?

-I was expecting to get the red,

but I've just had two bowls on the yellow, so hopefully no more £1.

-Had a bit of practice?

-Yes.

-Excellent.

Rob, you'll roll second on the yellow lane.

APPLAUSE

Heather, Rob...

It's time to take to the lanes.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

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

Not bad, is it?

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 through to the final,

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

Heather, you'll roll first. You happy?

I don't know!

Erm, I'm glad that we've got three goes...

because I haven't had a go on the red one yet, so...

-Well, remember, £3,000 up for grabs.

-Yeah.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

We're off and running. Will this get out the £1 zone?

Come on!

Bit more, that's it.

Keep going, keep going.

So, Heather...

That roll scores you £200. Let's put that on the board.

-That's a tentative start.

-I thought it was too...

When it left my hand, I thought, "It's going over." It's...

You don't realise the length obviously,

because I've been playing on the short ones.

-It's deceptive, isn't it?

-Yeah.

So, Heather, you now control a danger zone and you can put

it anywhere you like on Rob's lane from £10 all the way up to £950.

Where would you like to put it?

I'm going to put it...

on 250, please.

What's your thinking behind that, Heather?

My thinking is...

Rob's been on the yellow lane the last round...

and he likes to get £1.

And I don't want him to get over £200, so that sort of...

breaks it down.

So, that's lost from your lane, Rob, to be replaced by just £1.

So, Rob, how do you feel about that, £250? Is that going to put you off?

No, I got 450 last time

and I was aiming to get in that region again, so that's fine.

-I don't like £1s, just to be sure.

-Could've fooled me!

LAUGHTER

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

You're on your favourite lane, Rob.

Get out that £1!

Oh...

Not onto that one...

Just! Just past that danger zone, Rob.

So, that roll scores you £300, let's get that on the board.

APPLAUSE

-I thought it was going to stop in the danger zone.

-I did.

So, after the first roll, Rob, you've scored £300,

Heather, you've scored £200.

Heather, time for your second roll.

Do you think you've got the measure of the red lane?

Erm...

Bit harder this time, I think.

But not too hard, you just want to balance it on The Edge

and not go over.

-Excellent. £3,000, remember.

-Yeah.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

So 200 was your last roll, let's get higher.

Oh, it's quite slow.

Is it going to get out of the £1 zone?

It's going to be close.

That means you earned with that roll £1. Let's put that on the board.

So, Heather, you now have a choice.

Do you want to keep that danger zone where it is based on what

you've just rolled or would you like to move it?

Can I move it up to 350, please?

-Why 350, Heather?

-Because he just...

went over it last time and then the round before

when he got more than £1, he was at £400, so I'm thinking...

he might roll back a little bit now the pressure's on.

Let's move that danger zone up to 350.

That disappears off your lane, Rob, and is replaced by just £1.

So, Rob, how do you feel about that 350?

Again, it should be a target that I should be hoping to beat,

if I can hold with my arm what I'm seeing in my head.

-You're going to try and get past it?

-Yes.

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

Let's roll.

You're going to try and get some more money in the bank.

Oh, it's slowing down. Is it past the...?

Yes, it's past the danger zone.

Rob...

your second roll scores you £500. Let's add that to your total.

APPLAUSE

Wow.

Is that danger zone helping you at all?

I'm not sure. It's, erm... The bowling is just terrible.

You seem to be aiming for the danger zone.

Yeah, I do, yeah, just aiming for The Edge, where the money is.

Well, well done.

So, after the second roll...

Rob, you have £800, Heather, you have £201.

Heather, time for your third and final roll.

You have to score at least £600...

to give yourself a chance of going through to the next round.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

She's got a bit more speed.

-This is looking good, Heather.

-Going to go over.

Is it going to stop in time?

No, this is looking really good.

Oh, and...!

Oh!

Did it go off?

That was so close, Heather!

But it went over the edge, so I'm afraid that roll scores you nothing.

That means you will be leaving us, Heather.

But you still 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?

Well, if he's going to share his winnings...

LAUGHTER

-..I'll move it to the £10.

-Aww, well done, Heather.

APPLAUSE

That's lovely. So let's move that danger zone to the £10.

So, Rob, you've got an opportunity to bank as much

money as you can before the final.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

It's got some speed.

Let's get a big score, let's get some money in the bank.

Keep going, keep going.

Well done, Rob.

That will have scored you £800, let's add that to your total.

APPLAUSE

So, with three rolls added together...

Rob, you score £1,600, Heather, you score £201.

That means, Rob, you're through to today's' final.

Please return to the podiums.

APPLAUSE

Heather, unfortunately, you earned the least amount of money in that

round, so you'll be leaving here with nothing.

What happened?

I...

I don't know. Maybe I should have gone with the yellow lane.

-You regret the red lane?

-Well, I had to try at one time or another, so...

-Do you know what? You went for it.

-Yeah.

Thanks for playing, Heather. Heather, everybody.

APPLAUSE

Congratulations, Rob, you've made it through to the final where

you'll be playing for all the money you've earned today, a total of...

APPLAUSE

So if you win it, what are you going to do with the money?

Our eldest daughter is getting married later this year,

so I'd like to contribute a little bit more to that pot.

-Aren't weddings expensive?

-They are indeed.

-Oh, yes.

Listen, Rob, I wish you the best of luck. Come on, you can do it!

It's the final...

and we're shutting down one more lane...

..which leaves only the red lane.

We've removed 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, you'll win £2,052.

But go over the edge, you get nothing.

You have a chance to make it easier for yourself by answering

some more questions.

Each correct answer increases the size of The Edge.

The more questions you get right, the bigger The Edge will be

and the easier your final roll.

Each question now requires not three but four correct answers.

You have 75 seconds to answer as many questions as you can.

Let's put 75 seconds on the clock and your time will start

when I've read the first question.

Name the four words from the 1939 film Gone With The Wind that

complete the line, "Frankly, my dear, I..."

"..don't give a damn."

That's correct.

Name four Premier League football clubs in the 2014-2015 season

from London.

Erm, Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea...

and, erm, QPR.

Correct. Name the four words that complete the title of the Pink Floyd

album The Dark...

..Side Of The Moon.

Correct.

Name four completed novels written by Jane Austen.

Pass.

Name the four countries that make up the UK.

England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland.

That's correct.

Name the four sequential whole numbers that add up to 18.

Pass.

Name four Conservative Party leaders that have served since 1980.

William Hague, David Cameron, erm...

Pass.

Name the four different vowels in the word connoisseur.

O, E, I...U.

Correct.

Name the four months that immediately precede July.

June, May, April, March.

That's correct. Name the four subtitles

for the Pirates Of the Caribbean film series.

Pass.

Name four presenters who have been permanent hosts

on the Radio Four programme Desert Island Discs.

Pass.

Name four units used to measure disc space

and storage larger than a byte.

Rob, congratulations.

You answered six questions correctly.

APPLAUSE

However, here are the ones you missed.

Jane Austen novels - you could have had Pride And Prejudice,

Sense and Sensibility.

Four sequential whole numbers that add up to 18 - 3, 4, 5, 6.

Conservative Party leaders -

you missed some of the biggies like Thatcher and Major.

Name the four subtitles of the Pirates Of The Caribbean movies -

Curse Of The Black Pearl, Dead Man's Chest, At World's End,

On Stranger Tides.

Four presenters of Desert Island Discs -

Roy Plomley, Michael Parkinson, Sue Lawley and now Kirsty Young.

Four units used to measure disc space

in storage larger than a byte -

you could have had kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte.

So, you got six correct.

To see what that score has done to The Edge,

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

APPLAUSE

Rob...

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

Let's put your six correct answers onto your lane. That's one...

two...

three...four...

five...six.

APPLAUSE

That's your final Edge, Rob. Confident?

-Erm, fairly confident, yeah.

-Well, Rob, you now have a choice to make.

You can roll for the full £2,052 with only one ball

and one attempt to hit The Edge.

Or you can take two balls,

but that means you'll roll for only half the money, £1,026.

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 -

£684.

What are you thinking, Rob?

How many rolls do you want?

I'm thinking, with the way my bowling's been today,

I'm going to take two balls, please.

-Two. In the middle.

-In the middle, yeah.

Maybe it's wise. Remember, last time you were on the lane, you bowled £1.

Thanks for reminding me(!)

So, you're giving yourself two chances to win £1,026.

APPLAUSE

Good luck.

It's time to take on The Edge.

For £1,026...

..let's roll.

It's quite fast. Is it going to stop in time?

It's definitely going to go on The Edge.

Rob, I think you've done it! I think you've done it!

Yes, well done, Rob!

Excellent.

APPLAUSE

-Thank you very much.

-All these pounds, eh? You were lulling us.

That's brilliant! Oh, that's great news.

-So that wedding's going to be a good one.

-Yes, excellent.

I hope you have a lovely time.

Rob, congratulations, you hit your final Edge

and are going home with £1,026.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

So, what's that going to pay for at the wedding?

With the in-laws, probably a round of drinks.

Oh, they're going to watch this. You're in trouble now!

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

themselves to The Edge.

Why? Cos that's how we roll! Bye-bye, now.

APPLAUSE
