Episode 19 The Edge

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, blue,

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 today are going to push themselves to the edge.

APPLAUSE

Hi, I'm Leigh, aged 23 from Exeter

and I work in a cinema as head of publicity.

Hi, I'm Jen, I'm aged 30, I am originally from Belfast,

but I now live in Glasgow where I work at the university.

I'm Keith, I live in Campbeltown on the west coast of Scotland.

I'm now retired but I used to operate a boarding kennels and cattery.

Hi, I'm Dee, I'm 31, I'm from Newcastle

and I'm a mixed martial arts teacher.

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

to roll for big money.

Which lane you roll down

will be decided 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 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 20th century decade

in which Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin.

-Keith.

-1920s.

-Correct. Was that a guess?

-Yes!

Excellent. Good guess!

Name the sport for which Brian Lara is famous.

-Keith.

-Cricket.

That's correct.

Name the dwarf in Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs with the shortest name.

-Leigh.

-Doc.

Correct. It was Doc.

Give the number you get when you subtract 17 from 41.

-Keith.

-23.

Oh, close. It was 24.

That means you're frozen out for the next question.

Name the term in music beginning with S

given to a graduated sequence of notes.

-Leigh.

-Sequence.

No, it was scale.

Leigh, you're frozen out. Keith, you're back in play.

Name the current member of the royal family

that wrote The Old Man Of Lochnagar.

-Keith.

-Prince Charles.

That's correct. Leigh, you're back in play.

One more correct answer, Keith, and you get first choice of lanes.

Name the Australian city that has the international airport code PER.

-Leigh.

-Perth.

That's correct, it was Perth.

Name the modern day nation

in which you'd find native Iroquois and Cherokee people.

-Keith.

-USA.

That's correct! Well done, Keith.

-Was that a guess?

-Yes.

-Another good guess.

-APPLAUSE

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

The shortest lane rolls first

so it'll be green, blue, yellow then red.

You've all tried out the lanes before the show

so the big question, Keith, which one is for you?

-Blue to match my eyes, I think.

-Oh!

-LAUGHTER

So apart from your eye colour, what are you thinking?

Well, I tried it earlier and I think I had most success on that one

so I'm more confident on that one.

Well, Keith, you'll be rolling second down the blue lane.

APPLAUSE

Three lanes still up for grabs. Fingers on buzzers.

Name the UK city with the postcode beginning WV1.

-Jen.

-Wolverhampton.

That's correct.

Name the female celebrity pop singer whose real name is Robyn Fenty.

-Jen.

-Pink.

-No. Worth a guess, it was Rihanna.

-I was thinking that!

That means you're frozen out of the next question, Jen.

Name the ocean with the deepest point on Earth.

-Leigh.

-Pacific.

That's correct, it was the Pacific. Jen, you're back in play.

Name the capital city of Austria.

-Jen.

-Vienna.

It was Vienna, Jen, correct.

Name the patron saint famous for slaying a dragon.

-Leigh.

-George.

It was George, St George.

Name the first book in the Bible.

-Leigh.

-Exodus.

-No, I'm afraid it wasn't - it was Genesis.

-Ah!

That means you're frozen out for the next question.

Give the number of days in four weeks.

-Jen.

-28.

That's correct, it was 28. Don't look so nervous!

A bit tentative there. "28..." Excellent.

One more correct answer, Jen, and you get next choice of lane.

Leigh, you're back in play.

Name the British female gymnast

who won bronze at the London 2012 Olympics.

-Jen.

-Beth Tweddle.

-Correct! It was Beth Tweddle.

-APPLAUSE

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

So, you can have the green, the yellow or the red.

I think I'll go for yellow so I can see what Keith has to offer before

-and also whoever's on the green lane.

-OK.

Well, Jen, you'll be rolling third on the yellow lane.

APPLAUSE

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

Name the background colour of road signs on primary A roads.

-Dee.

-Green?

That's correct. It was green.

Name the Canadian rock band

who released the singles Rock Star and How You Remind Me.

-Dee.

-Nickelback.

Correct.

Name the maximum score a darts player can achieve with three darts.

-Leigh.

which inspired a 2012 film starring Daniel Radcliffe.

-Leigh.

-The Woman In Black.

That's correct.

Name the traditional UK wedding anniversary gift

that represents 60 years.

-Leigh.

-Diamond?

Correct, it was diamond.

One more correct answer, Leigh, and you get third choice of lane.

Name the Olympic event for which Eddie the Eagle is famous.

-Leigh.

-That's the ski jump.

That's correct! Well done, Leigh.

APPLAUSE Phew!

-You relieved?

-Just about!

-You get next choice of lane.

You have a choice of green or red.

-Call me nuts but I'm going to go for the intimidating red lane.

-Why red?

Well, I need to practise if I'm going to get to the final

-so I need to get my balls practising.

-Good idea! Good idea, Leigh.

-Thank you, sir.

-You'll be rolling fourth on the red lane.

APPLAUSE

OK, Dee, that means you've been left with the green lane.

-How do you feel about that?

-I feel pretty confident.

I was hoping to get the red but I didn't get the questions right.

-I did get it on the edge.

-You got it on the edge on the green lane?

I did, yeah, so I'm hoping but I feel pretty confident, kind of.

OK, Dee, you'll be rolling first on the green lane.

APPLAUSE

So who's staying and who's going home? It's time to find out.

Let's 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 very beginning of the lane

right up to the edge which in round one is worth...£1,000!

AUDIENCE: Oooh! APPLAUSE

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.

-Are you happy about that, Dee?

-It's a big challenge, but I'll go for it.

Dee, it's time to take on the edge.

Let's roll.

Oh, is this too fast?

Ohhh!

AUDIENCE GROANS

So that roll scores you nothing

which means we've got nothing to put on the board.

Was that like a martial arts one-inch punch?

-Looked like nothing but flew off the end?

-Exactly!

-Well, you've left it wide open for everyone else now.

-I have.

So Keith, you're next on the blue lane.

Now, even if you drop the ball just at your feet,

-you'll be through to the next round.

-OK.

Because the £1 zone starts at the very beginning of the lane.

It's time to take on the edge.

Let's roll.

I want more than £1.

-Well, I think you'll get more than £1 here.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...

-It's looking good.

-Whoa, whoa!

-APPLAUSE

-Well done, Keith.

Well, that roll gives you £800. Let's put that on the board.

-APPLAUSE

-Right!

-That's a good start.

So were you willing it to go on or were you willing it to stop?

-No, I was willing it to stop!

-Well, well done, Keith.

-Thank you.

-That means you're through to the next round.

-Thank you.

So, Jen, the same goes for you.

As long as you keep your ball on the lane,

you'll be through to the next round.

It's time to take on the edge.

Let's roll.

This is looking good. You're going to get out the £1 zone.

Keep on going, keep on going!

-APPLAUSE

-Well done, Jen. That roll scores you £600.

Let's get it on the board.

And more importantly, that puts you through to the next round.

-So, Dee, it's all on Leigh's roll.

-It is. Get it off!

-All you've got to hope for is that Leigh goes over the edge.

-Exactly.

-Leigh...

-Yes, Mark.

-Keep it on the lane and you're through.

-OK.

It's time to take on the edge.

Let's roll.

LEIGH EXHALES DEEPLY

-It looks pretty good.

-It's quite fast.

It's slowing down, this is good.

-You're going to bank some money here, Leigh.

-Yeah.

-Oh, yes.

-Leigh, well done.

-APPLAUSE

That roll scores you £650. Let's put that on the board.

So no-one played it safe,

even though you could have done after Dee's first roll.

So at the end of the rolls, Keith, you have £800.

Jen, you have £600.

Leigh, you have £650, and, Dee, you don't have anything.

So that means Keith, Jen, Leigh, you're through to the next round.

Please return to the podiums.

APPLAUSE

Unfortunately, Dee, you earned the least amount of money in that round

so you'll be leaving us with nothing. Aww, what happened?

It's a lot harder than it looks, and when you roll it,

it's just all about how much you put into it

and basically I've just went too much and off it went to the edge.

-Well, Dee, you've been a great contestant.

-Thank you very much.

-Dee, everybody!

-APPLAUSE

Leigh, Jen, Keith, congratulations, you're through to the next round.

-Thank you.

-So, Leigh, you work in a cinema.

-I certainly do.

And what do you do there?

Well, I usher guests to their seats, general cleanliness of the screens,

I do a bit of sales and retail and I'm the head of publicity.

That makes me all in control of the posters, the banners,

put them all up on display for the public to view

and I take a few home when they're all gone.

-Oh, so do you collect posters then?

-Oh, yes, I do, yeah.

-So have you got lots?

-I think I've got about 40 at home.

And have you got one prized possession?

Well, my favourite film of all time is Back To The Future

and we had a 25th anniversary re-release of the film

and it had the actual poster saying 25th anniversary.

-So did you just kind of sneak one off, did you?

-Oh, yes!

-LAUGHTER

-Good for you. Jen!

-Hello.

-So what do you do in your spare time?

I'm a volunteer for a hospital radio channel in Glasgow

-and I present a weekly show on there.

-And what's the show called?

-It's called Repeat Prescription.

-I like it!

-LAUGHTER

-It's a summary of all the requests from the previous week.

-Excellent.

-So, Keith, are you enjoying your retirement?

-Love it.

Yeah, I play golf and caddy and walk the dogs and that's it, really.

And what do you play off? Is that the terminology?

Well, it's a bit embarrassing. I'm not good - 23.

So it's not good, but I enjoy it.

You could have said that was brilliant

and I would have said, "Great!" cos I've got no idea about golf.

23 isn't good, believe you me, but I enjoy it, that's the main thing.

Well, I think you'd be slightly better than me.

-LAUGHTER

-The money you've earned is added to your personal bank.

So Leigh, you have...

Jen, you have...

-And Keith, you have...

-Yes!

But only one of you can reach today's final

and play for that money.

Round two 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 up 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.

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 countries of the UK

whose kings fought the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314.

-Jen.

-England and Scotland.

-That's correct.

Name the two teenagers portrayed by Harry Enfield

and Kathy Burke that go large in Ibiza.

Kevin and Perry.

That's correct.

Name the two traditional colours of taxis in London and New York.

Jen.

Black and yellow.

That's correct.

Jen, one more correct answer and you will release your ball first.

Name the two children of Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales.

-Leigh.

-William and Harry.

That's correct.

Name the two actresses who played Edina and Patsy

in the TV sitcom Absolutely Fabulous.

Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley.

That's correct. Well done, Jen.

You've released your ball first,

that means you'll face no danger zones.

Now, which lane would you like?

I think I'm going to go red.

-You're going to go red?

-Yeah.

-So what's the thinking behind that?

What's the strategy?

I think I'm better on the ones that are a little bit longer.

And obviously if I am going to get to the end

I need to work on the longer lanes.

-Have a bit of practice.

-Yep.

Well, Jen, you'll be rolling third on the red lane.

APPLAUSE

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

Name the Aardman Animation character who loves cheese and crackers.

Leigh.

Wallace!

And?

Oh, and Gromit, sorry.

That's correct.

Loves cheese and crackers, and his dog, Wallace and Gromit.

Name the two animals starting with H, in the title of the oldest

equestrian weekly magazine in the UK.

Keith.

Hare And Hounds.

-I'm sorry, it was Horse And Hounds.

-Horse And Hounds...

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

Leigh, only buzz in if you know the answer.

Name the two political leaders of the UK and the US

who were in power during the last London Olympics.

Leigh.

Barack Obama and David Cameron.

-That's correct.

-Thank you.

Keith, you're back in play.

Name the two letters you can find at the start

of every Milton Keynes' postcode.

Leigh.

MK.

That's correct.

One more correct answer and you get next choice of lane.

Name the two Spanish football teams

that compete in the match dubbed El Clasico.

Leigh.

Barcelona and Real Madrid.

That's correct. Well done, Leigh.

You release your balls second, so you will face one danger zone.

Now, which lane would you like - blue or yellow?

Well, I seem to do quite well on the longer lanes

so I'm going to go for the yellow.

Leigh, you'll be rolling second on the yellow lane.

APPLAUSE

Which means, Keith, you'll be rolling on the blue lane

-and you'll face two danger zones.

-Oh.

-How do you feel about that?

Well, you know, it is what it is.

I liked the blue lane last time, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Well, Keith, you'll be rolling first on the blue lane.

Leigh, Jen, Keith, 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...

£2,000!

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.

Keith, you're rolling first down the blue lane

and you'll face two danger zones.

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

They're moving up and down your lane,

they'll stop when you press that button.

So, that's £350 and £400 that are gone from your lane

to be replaced by just £1. How do you feel about that?

-Yeah, I'm quite happy with that, good place to be.

-Excellent.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

OK, here we go.

Get past those danger zone signs.

Oh, no.

-Oh, go on.

-You should be all right.

-Yes, it's gone past.

-Oh.

That's all right.

I thought it was going to stop on a danger zone.

I thought it was going to stop there as well.

Well, Keith, that roll scores you £600.

Let's put that on the board.

Great first roll. Oh, yes.

So, Leigh...

You're rolling down the yellow lane and you'll face one danger zone.

It's running up and down your lane,

it'll stop when you press that button.

So that's £50 gone from your lane, to be replaced by £1. Not bad.

-I'm happy.

-Are you going to try and get past it?

-Easily.

-I hope so.

I hope so too.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

Oh, this is slow.

-Too short.

-Get past. Keep going, keep going.

It's going.

APPLAUSE

Leigh, that roll scores you £300. Let's put that on the board.

That's better than I thought it was going to be.

-Yeah, I was expecting the worst then.

-Well, it's a good start.

Remember you've got one roll left. So, Jen...

You've got the lane you wanted and you've got no danger zones

because you did so well on the questions.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

So we're off and running.

This is fast.

Oh, this is looking good. This is looking good.

Keep going, keep going.

That's it. Jen, well done. That roll scores you £500.

Let's put that on the board.

-You happy with that?

-Yeah, not too bad, not too bad at all.

OK, before everyone rolls again,

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

Keith, you have £600. Leigh has £300 and Jen £500.

So, Keith, it's a chance to build on that lead.

Hopefully I'll do quite well on this one.

I quite like the blue lane, it seems to be my favourite.

-Well, just avoid those danger zones.

-Yeah, I'll try to, believe you me.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

-Oh!

-You got £600 with your first roll, is this too fast?

Your ball rolled over the edge,

so I'm afraid that roll scores you nothing.

We have nothing to add to your total.

What happened, Keith?

-I don't know, it just went off in my hand.

-Got over excited.

So, Leigh, that means if you can score £350 or more,

you're through to the next round.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

We're looking for £350 or more.

Oh, well, you've got the £350.

-Is it going to stop in time?

-Please stop.

Is it going to stop in time?

-Oh!

-Leigh.

I'm afraid that roll scores you nothing,

we have nothing to add to your total.

-So, Keith, you're smiling.

-Yeah.

That was the reprieve you were looking for.

That means you're through to the next round.

And, Leigh, I'm afraid that means you will be leaving us.

But, Jen, good news for you.

You're through to the next round

and you have an opportunity to put more money in the bank.

-Yep.

-It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

So... Is it a bit too soft?

Is it going to get out the £1 zone?

Well, Jen, I said you had an opportunity to put some more

money in the bank, and you did. That roll scores you £1.

Let's put that on the board.

APPLAUSE

So, with the two rolls added together...

Keith, you have £600, Jen, you have £501,

and Leigh, £300.

Which means, Keith, Jen, you're through to the next round.

Please return to the podiums.

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

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

-Oh, well.

I thought it was going to stop on the edge there.

-I thought so too. Not today, though.

-I really did.

-Ah, well, you've been a great contestant.

-Thank you, Mark.

Leigh, everybody.

APPLAUSE

Jen, Keith, well done, you're through to the next round.

So, Jen, who have you got watching you at home?

Well, my mum and dad in Belfast, they'll be watching, I hope.

And my younger brother, he lives there with his family.

My partner is up in Glasgow. She'll be cheering me on, I'm sure.

-Yes, shouting at the telly.

-Yes.

-Excellent.

So, Keith, how did you find running a kennel and a cattery?

-How was that?

-Hard work, basically.

What was the worst thing about it?

Walking dogs in the pouring rain, that was probably the worst of it.

-And getting bitten now and again.

-Not shovelling up the...

Well, the wife did that.

Oh! I bet she loved you.

Yeah.

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

So, Jen, you have...

And, Keith, you have...

-Very good.

-That money is safely banked for the final,

should you manage to get there.

Round three.

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 opponents lane.

So, as ever, the best brains get the best lanes.

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

Fingers on buzzers.

Give the three words that begin with H, S and J,

that make up an informal name for the triple jump.

-Jen.

-Hop, skip and jump.

That's correct.

Name the three words from Shakespeare's Richard III

that follow, "Now is the winter..."

Keith.

"..of our discontent."

That's correct.

Give the three words that make up the name of the electronic pop duo

who released the singles, It's A Sin, West End Girls

and What Have I Done To Deserve This?

-Jen.

-Pet Shop Boys.

Correct. It was the Pet Shop Boys.

Name the three letters by which the medical procedure

in vitro fertilisation is better known.

-Keith.

-IVF.

That's correct.

Neck and neck, you two.

Name the three types of fossil fuel.

Jen.

Oil, coal and gas.

That's correct.

Natural gas, crude oil and coal.

So, Jen, one more correct answer

and you are going to release your ball first

and get first choice of lane.

Name the three most populated cities in Italy that begin with R, M and N.

-Jen.

-Rome, Naples, Milan.

That's correct. Well done, Jen.

APPLAUSE

You've released your ball first so 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 anywhere you like

on Keith's lane, just to make things really difficult for him.

So, Jen, which lane would you like? Yellow or red.

I think I'm going to go for yellow

because Keith's used to playing on the green, which is a bit shorter.

So I'm going to put him on the longest lane and see how he does.

I like it. So, Jen, you'll roll first on the yellow lane.

APPLAUSE

Keith, you've been left with the red lane.

-Is it going to bother you?

-It depends where the nasty one goes.

Oh, come on Keith, don't be like that.

You'll roll second, Keith, on the red lane.

So, Jen, Keith, 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'll 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 though to the final.

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

Jen, you'll roll first. Are you feeling confident?

Erm, not really, no.

Well, remember, you won't have any danger zones,

so that's a good thing.

-Yeah, that's something.

-It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

Let's get a good score to start off with.

Oh, I've got a good feeling about this, Jen.

Keep going, keep going.

One more.

-Well done, Jen.

-APPLAUSE

Your first roll scores you £700. Let's put that on the board.

-Great start, Jen.

-Yep, that's a good start indeed.

-Just what you wanted.

-Yep.

You now have control of a danger zone, Jen.

You can put it anywhere you like on Keith's lane, from £10 to £950.

The question is, where would you like to put it?

I think I'm going to go for £750.

Why £750?

It's just ahead of me. I don't think he'll want to roll too far

in case he goes over the edge.

Though he might be aiming FOR the edge.

I'm going to go for £750 and I think that's a good move.

So £750 is lost from your lane, Keith, and is replaced by just £1.

So, the nasty one, she's put the danger zone on £750,

How do you feel about that?

I think she's sneaky, really,

because I've got to go beyond it to get anything out of it.

We'll see.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

This is fast. Let's avoid that danger zone.

Slowing down, Keith...

APPLAUSE

So, that roll scores you £450. Let's put that on the board.

That's not a bad start, Keith.

No, that's OK. Do that three times and I'll be quite happy.

-Yeah, and you avoided that danger zone.

-Yep.

So after the first roll, Jen, you have £700, Keith, £450.

So, Jen, good news.

Yeah, I think that's the most I've rolled so far,

so that's pretty good, and I rolled more than Keith,

so, if I can keep that up, then good things may be ahead.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

Is it going to get out the £1 zone?

It doesn't look like it.

I didn't. Jen, that roll scores you £1.

Let's add that to your first roll.

So that gives you a total, after two rolls, of £701.

What happened there?

I think the second roll just likes to stay in the £1 zone.

-Did the nerves get to you a bit?

-I think so.

Well, Jen, you now have a choice.

Do you want to keep Keith's danger zone where it is,

or would you like to move it based on what you've just rolled.

I think I'll move it to £400.

Why £400?

He didn't roll that far on his first roll.

If he rolls a similar one, it should be around that mark.

OK, let's move that danger zone down to £400.

-Is that going to bother you, Keith?

-Well, I can't see that far, so...

-It doesn't matter.

-It doesn't matter, really.

Just got to get past it, that's all.

Well, Keith, it's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

Let's try and get past that danger zone.

Looking good, Keith.

Oh, oh!

Just.

APPLAUSE

Well done, Keith. You just got past the danger zone.

And you doubled the total from your first roll.

That roll scores you £450, giving you a total after two rolls of £900.

-Great second roll.

-Yeah, I was...

Squeaky bottom time I think that was.

Well, after the second roll, Jen, you have £701, Keith, you have £900.

So, Jen, because you failed to take advantage of your lead

with your second roll, it's all to play for now.

You have to score at least £200 to give yourself

any chance of staying in the game.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

You need at least £200.

This is looking very fast. Is it too fast?

Hard lines, Jen. That ball rolled straight over the edge,

which means you scored nothing.

Which means you will be leaving us, unfortunately.

But you still have a choice.

Do you want to keep Keith's danger zone where it is?

Or, based on what you've just rolled, would you like to move it?

I think I'm going to move it down to £50,

give him a good chance of banking some decent money.

That's very kind of you.

Let's move that danger zone down to £50.

-She's nice, isn't she?

-That's very nice, yeah.

Of course, bearing in mind, she could have put it on £10,

-made it even easier.

-True, but that's OK.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

Right, here we go.

Let's bank some big money, Keith.

I don't think it's going to get anywhere.

I think you're going to bank a lot of money with this roll, Keith.

You're going to break the bank with this one. That roll scores you £1.

Let's add that to your total.

-Missed opportunity there, Keith.

-That was pathetic, wasn't it?

So with the three rolls added together, Keith,

you have £901, Jen, you have £701.

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

Please return to the podiums.

APPLAUSE

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

so that means you're leaving here with nothing.

What happened on that last roll?

I think with the second roll, I got a point,

so I thought I'd put a bit more force into it

and clearly put too much.

-Oh, it just sailed over the edge, didn't it?

-Yep.

-You've been a great contestant.

-Thank you.

-Jen, everybody.

-Keith, congratulations, you're through to the final.

-Thank you.

Where you'll be playing for all the money you've earned today,

-a total of £2,301.

-Thank you.

APPLAUSE

So, Keith, if you win that money,

what are you going to do with it?

Well, it's my 50th wedding anniversary next year,

so I might take the wife on a nice holiday somewhere.

-She's going to love you, isn't she?

-Well, hopefully. Make a change.

Any idea where you'd like to take her?

She wants to go to Hawaii or somewhere like that, you know?

-Nice, I can see you doing all that dancing.

-With this shirt, yeah.

Yeah, you've got the shirt already, fantastic.

It's the final.

And we're shutting down another 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 in the edge in the final and you'll win £2,301.

APPLAUSE

But go over the edge and 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 your 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'll have 75 seconds to get as many right as you can.

Let's put 75 seconds on the clock.

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

Name the four 24 hour clock numbers that denote 2pm, 4pm, 6pm and 8pm.

2pm is 14:00. What's the other one?

2pm, 4pm, 6pm, 8pm.

16, 18, 21.

Oh, wrong, sorry. Name four UK cities beginning with the letter N.

Nuneaton.

Wrong.

Name the four consonants in the word, "Squeaky."

S, Y...

Q.

One more.

Squeaky.

-E.

-I'm sorry, it's wrong.

Name the four lead character from the TV sitcom, Fawlty Towers.

Manuel.

-You can pass it.

-Pass.

Name four movies nominated for a Best Picture Oscar in 2014.

Oh, pass that.

Name the four letters on the number seven button

of a standard telephone keypad.

Can you repeat that?

Name the four letters on the number seven button of

-a standard telephone keypad.

-No, pass.

Name four Australian states.

-New South Wales...

-I'm sorry, time up, Keith.

That means you answered no questions correctly.

Here are the ones you missed.

2, 4, 6 and 8pm on the 24 hour clock are 14, 16, 18 and 20. You said 21.

Four consonants in "Squeaky." You got them all apart from "K".

-Oh!

-That was the one you couldn't recall.

Lead characters in Fawlty Towers. You got Manuel.

You could have had Basil, Sybil and Polly.

The four letters on the number seven button a standard

telephone keypad are P, Q, R, S.

Nuneaton isn't a city.

But Newcastle upon Tyne, Newport, Newry, Norwich, Nottingham are.

So, Keith, you didn't manage to get any correct.

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

APPLAUSE

Well, Keith, you didn't manage to get any questions correct,

so the chance to increase your edge has been lost.

That's your final edge - how confident are you of hitting it?

Eh, not very, that's an awful long way, I can only just see the end.

You never know.

You now have a choice to make. You can roll for the full £2,301

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,

which we've rounded up to £1,151.

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. £767.

What do you think, Keith? How many rolls would you like?

I think I'll go for the middle one, two balls.

-You're going to go for two?

-Yeah, two. I'll give it a try.

Well, Keith, you've given yourself two chances to win £1,151.

APPLAUSE

It's time to take on The Edge.

For £1,151,

let's roll.

OK.

Come on, Keith.

It's a difficult ask, but you can do it.

Keep going.

Oh, it's losing a bit of pace.

Not quite strong enough with that roll, Keith.

So you've used up the first of your two rolls. One roll left.

So it's all or nothing, Keith.

It's time to take on The Edge.

For £1,151, for the final time...

..let's roll.

Let's hit that edge. Come on, Keith.

Come on.

-No, no, come on.

-Keep going.

Keep going.

-No, it's slowing down.

-No.

Oh, Keith.

APPLAUSE

You were incredibly brave there, Keith. That was a big ask.

It was a big ask, yeah.

If only you could've got some questions.

I know, the old brain mush, I tell you.

-It's very difficult when you're under pressure.

-It is, it is.

-You've been a great contestant, Keith.

-Thank you, thank you, Mark.

You weren't able to hit your final edge,

so sadly you're going home empty handed.

Came with nothing, go with nothing, that's OK.

I hope you have a great anniversary next year, I really do.

-Thank you very much, thank you.

-Thanks, Keith.

-Cheers, Mark.

APPLAUSE

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

pushing themselves to the edge.

Why? Because that's how we roll.

Bye-bye now.

APPLAUSE
