Episode 4 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, today,

are going to push themselves to the edge!

APPLAUSE

Hi, I'm Lekhika, I'm 18, I'm a student and a part-time tutor

and I speak a lot of languages.

Hi, I'm Tom, I'm a property developer from the Wirral

and today I'm shooting for the edge every time.

I'm Chloe. I'm from the Cotswolds and I'm a professional storyteller.

Hi, I'm Dean, I'm a marketing brand manager from London

and as well as running marathons, I also play football and tennis.

APPLAUSE

Welcome to the show. I wish you all 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.

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 the first choice of lane,

so the best brains get the best lanes.

Fingers on buzzers.

Name the only venomous snake native to Britain.

Chloe.

-The adder.

-Correct.

Elphaba and Glinda.

-Lekhika?

-That's correct!

Well done, Lekhika, you get first choice of lane.

APPLAUSE

The shortest lane rolls first,

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

You've all tried the lanes out before the show,

so the big question is, Lekhika, which one do you want?

-I'd like to have the green lane, please.

-The green? Why the green?

It was one of the lanes I did the best in during the practice.

-And also you get the chance to set the target for the others.

-Yep.

Lekhika, you'll be rolling first on the green lane!

APPLAUSE

Three lanes still up for grabs.

We've reset the podiums.

Fingers on buzzers.

-Tom.

That's correct. Well done, Tom.

APPLAUSE

You get the next choice of lane.

You could have blue, yellow, or red.

What are you thinking?

I'll be choosing the blue lane,

solely because the other two are too frightening to take on.

Tom, you'll roll second on the blue lane.

APPLAUSE

Only two lanes left.

We've reset the podiums.

Fingers on buzzers.

Chloe, Dean, you're level pegging.

Next one to get a correct answer gets the next choice of lane.

Name the food with varieties pine, pecan and brazil.

-Dean.

-Nut.

-That's correct, well done, Dean.

APPLAUSE

You get final choice of lane.

Two remain. Which do you want

and which will you leave for Chloe?

-Predictably, I'm going to go for the yellow lane.

-Why is it predictable?

Because it's the next shortest

and I think I did quite well in practice on it,

and I think I've just got a better chance

than the red lane at this stage.

So, Dean, you'll roll third on the yellow lane.

APPLAUSE

OK, Chloe, you've been left with the red lane.

-Are you happy with that?

-Oh, yes, I'll be racking up some good money.

You'll roll fourth on the red lane.

APPLAUSE

But who's staying and who's going home?

It's time to find out. Let's take to the lanes!

WHOOPING AND 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: Ooh!

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.

Lekhika, you feeling cool, confident?

Yeah, yeah, I like this lane.

Lekhika...

it's time to take on the edge.

Let's roll.

Oh, no messing. Straight in there.

A middling 500 in the middle. You happy with that?

Yes, yes, I'm delighted.

-Delighted?

-Yep! That's good.

-That's the target to beat.

Let's get it on the board.

APPLAUSE

Tom, 550 or more

-guarantees you a place in the next round.

-Yeah.

But of course, you're going for the edge.

Starting to wuss out of that a bit, to be honest with you.

-Don't worry, I won't let you forget it.

-Cheers, thanks(!)

It's time to take on the edge.

Let's roll.

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

It's over 500. This is looking good.

This is looking really good!

-Ooh!

-AUDIENCE GROANS AND APPLAUDS

Tom, that's 900. Almost the edge, you weren't kidding.

Yeah, I'm upset at that, actually.

Let's get that on the board.

APPLAUSE

-You've got to be happy with that.

-Yeah, very much so.

Through to the next round already, so made up.

Dean, 550's the target. You think you can do it?

It's tough. That looks a long way away now, standing at this end,

but I'll give it a go.

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

Let's roll.

We're off.

This has got a good speed on it.

Oh...

It's looking good, Dean.

Oh!

-Well done, you!

-APPLAUSE

£850. That guarantees you a place in the next round.

So Lekhika,

-you've just got to hope and pray...

-Yeah.

..that Chloe doesn't get up to £500.

-Fingers crossed!

-That'd give you a chance.

So Chloe, are you going to go for it?

I think I'm doomed!

No, no, be positive!

-You can do it!

-Look at it!

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

Let's roll.

500 or more. This is good.

Is it too good?

Is it too fast? No, it's slowing down.

Oh, a bit more!

More, keeping going!

AUDIENCE: Oh!

-APPLAUSE

-Chloe, £950!

Let's get that on your board!

So at the end of the rolls...

..Tom, you scored 900, Dean, you scored 850,

-Chloe, you scored 950...

-Yes!

..and Lekhika, you scored 500.

That means Tom, Dean, Chloe,

you're through to the next round. Please return to the podiums.

APPLAUSE

Oh, Lekhika, you earned the least amount of money in that round,

so that means you're leaving here with nothing.

-Have you enjoyed yourself?

-I have. It's been a pleasure.

It was short and sweet. Lekhika, everybody!

APPLAUSE

Tom, Chloe, Dean, you're through to the next round.

Tom, what do you do in your spare time?

I kind of enjoy spending time with myself and my dogs,

-watching Only Fools And Horses repeats...

-Only Fools And Horses?

-Yeah, big fan, actually.

-Is that your fave?

Yeah, very much so.

Got a memorabilia collection ranging from ashtrays to dressing gowns.

-I've even got one of the three-wheeled vans.

-Excellent.

-Chloe.

-Yes?

-Storytelling, how does that work?

Um, I retell the heritage stories,

so the myths and the legends of the folk tales.

Is that a lot of travelling?

Well, I will work anywhere that pays.

-Excellent. Me too!

-Yes.

-Dean, you're sporty.

-Mmm.

Yeah, I've done the London Marathon and the French Riviera Marathon.

-Wow.

-And thought I'd do a triathlon next year.

So does that mean you're very competitive, then?

I'd say quietly competitive.

I don't make a big deal out of it, but I don't like to lose.

The money you earned is added to your personal bank.

Tom, you have £900, Chloe, you have £950 and Dean, you have £850.

But only one of you can reach today's final

and play for that money.

Round Two.

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.

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 characters played by Martin Freeman

and Mark Gatiss in BBC's Sherlock.

Chloe.

Mark Freeman and... Sorry, I got muddled. I'm sorry.

No, it was Dr John Watson and Mycroft Holmes.

Chloe, you are frozen out for the next question.

Name the two poles of a standard magnet.

-Tom.

-North and south.

-That's correct. Chloe, you are back in play.

-Right.

Name the two celestial bodies

that when viewed from the Earth can create a solar eclipse.

-Dean.

-Sun and the Moon.

That's correct.

Name the two lead vocalists that in 1981 duetted on the single

Under Pressure.

Dean.

Freddie Mercury...

And?

INCORRECT ANSWER BUZZER

I'm sorry, it's time up. It was David Bowie.

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

Name the two animal species of the Jungle Book characters

Baloo and Shere Khan.

-Tom.

-Bear and Tiger.

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

Name the two letters of the alphabet that occur immediately before M.

-Chloe.

-K, L.

That's correct.

-Going through it in your mind there.

-Yes!

Give the first names of the American actresses known as the Olsen twins.

-Tom.

-Mary Kate and Ashley.

-That's right.

-I'm embarrassed to know that.

So, Tom, that means you need one more correct answer

and you get first choice of lane.

Name the two countries ending in G-U-A-Y.

-Dean.

-Paraguay and Uruguay.

That's right.

Name the chefs that were known as Two Fat Ladies.

Chloe.

Clarissa Dickson Wright was one of them and the other one...

-had all those rings.

-I'm sorry, you've run out of time.

-It was Jennifer Paterson.

-It was. Lovely woman.

You're frozen out for the next question.

Name the two professional football clubs

Gareth Bale played for in 2013.

Dean.

Erm, Tottenham and Real Madrid.

That's correct. Well done, Dean.

So, Tom, Dean, level pegging again.

Give the common first names beginning with J used to describe

a male and female ass.

-Chloe.

-Jenny.

Two.

INCORRECT ANSWER BUZZER

It was male and female, I'm afraid. It was Jack and Jenny.

-Chloe, you're frozen out for the next question.

-OK.

Name the two BBC One medical dramas that are set

in the same fictional hospital.

-Tom.

-Holby City and Casualty.

That's right. Well done, Tom.

You released your ball first, which means you get

first choice of lane and you will face no danger zones.

So, blue, yellow or red?

I'm going to go with blue, but it's a tough one,

seeing how well these guys rolled on the outside lanes.

Well, you did pretty good yourself last time.

More lucky than good, but we'll see.

Tom, you will roll first on the blue lane.

APPLAUSE

Two lanes left. We've reset the podiums.

Fingers on buzzers.

Name the two years Barack Obama won his US presidential elections.

Chloe.

2005, 2012.

You got one right - it was 2008, 2012.

You're frozen out for the next question.

Dean, you don't have to answer this.

Name the two countries joined by the Channel Tunnel.

Dean.

England and France.

That's correct.

Chloe, you are back in play.

Name the two common types of cover in which a book can be published.

Dean.

Hardback and soft back.

That's correct. Well done, Dean.

Name the two citrus fruits mentioned in the nursery rhyme

The Bells Of St Clements.

-Chloe.

-Oranges and lemons.

That's right.

Name the two Latin words in the era abbreviation AD.

-Chloe.

-Anno Domini.

That's correct.

Name the two countries that compete in the cricket test match

series known as the Ashes.

-Dean.

-England and Australia.

That's correct.

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

Name the famous puppet duo consisting of a grey,

squeaky dog and a silent yellow bear...

-Dean.

-Sooty and Sweep.

That's correct. Silent yellow bear with a magic wand.

Well done, Dean.

APPLAUSE

You've released your ball second,

which means you get second choice of lane and one danger zone.

Now, you can have yellow or red. Which one are you going to go for?

Yellow was good to me last time, so I'm going to stick with it.

-Is that why?

-Yeah, exactly.

-You feel comfortable on there?

I've got the run of it now, I think.

Dean, that means you'll be rolling second on the yellow lane.

APPLAUSE

Chloe, you have been left with the red lane,

which will have two danger zones. How do you feel about that?

I don't mind at all.

You roll third on the red lane.

APPLAUSE

Tom, Chloe, Dean...

It's time to take on the lanes.

APPLAUSE

We are 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.

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.

Tom, you're rolling first down the blue lane

and you'll face no danger zones.

That's got to be a good thing, hasn't it?

Yeah, happy days. See if I can get a similar roll to last him.

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

Let's roll.

Oh, it's got a lot of pace on it. Is it too much pace?

It's slowing down...

AUDIENCE GROANS

That means you scored nothing.

Not a great start.

No, by no means.

But don't worry, you've got another roll to come.

Dean, you're rolling down the yellow lane

and you will face one danger zone.

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

It's moving up and down the lane...

it'll stop when you press that button.

Good luck, Dean.

So, that's £800 has disappeared from your lane

and it has been replaced with £1.

You happy with that?

No, not at all, no.

A bit closer to this end, I'd have been happier with, though.

Dean...

It's time to take on the edge.

Let's roll.

This is looking good.

Get out of the £1, get out of the £1, keep going.

Oh...

£550, Dean.

APPLAUSE

-Looks good, doesn't it?

-It certainly does, yeah. I'm happy with that.

So, Chloe, you have the red lane and two danger zones.

Now, they're racing up and down the lanes.

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

That's £50 and £800 that have gone from your lane

and been replaced by £1.

-OK, that will do.

-Oh, you look happy.

I've got plenty of room to manoeuvre.

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

Let's roll.

Oh...

Past that one. Oh, yes.

Slowing down, and you have scored £350.

APPLAUSE

Let's get that up onto your board.

-How did you feel about that?

-It's just about satisfactory.

Well, at least you missed that danger zone.

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

Dean, you have £550, Chloe, 350

and Tom, you have nothing.

So, Tom, this means you have to score at least £350 to have

-a chance of going through to the next round.

-I think I've got...

Just looking at it,

I've still got to get over 850 to give myself a realistic chance.

To set a decent target.

Obviously if I hit the edge, I'm pretty confident I'll go through,

but I think that's a long shot right now.

It's time to take on the edge.

Let's roll.

Gone for it. Is it too fast? Is it too fast?

I think it might be.

It's gone over again.

AUDIENCE GROANS

Well, you get maximum points for bravery, but I'm afraid...

No points for your rolls, I'm afraid. That roll scores nothing.

APPLAUSE

That means, Tom, unfortunately,

we won't be seeing you in the next round.

So, Dean, pressure's off, you know you're through.

It's your chance to bank some money.

£2,000 available if you hit the edge, remember.

It's time to take on the edge.

Let's roll.

Well, you're not going to go over the edge, I don't think.

Past the £1, past the 150,

this is looking good. Keep going!

A bit more...

Well done.

APPLAUSE

£600. Let's add that to your first roll...

making a total of £1150.

-You happy with that, Dean?

-Yeah.

Slow and steady, but I got there in the end, I think.

-And you are through to the next round.

-Absolutely, yeah.

-Chloe.

-So, you're through.

-Yes, very relieved.

So it's a chance for you to bank a lot of money here.

Remember, avoid those two danger zones.

It's time to take on the edge.

Let's roll.

And we're off.

It's got quite a lot of pace on it.

Keep going. Oh, it's slowing down.

No, come on, no!

Oh, that's rubbish.

Well, the good news is, Chloe, you missed the danger zone.

But I suppose the bad news is it's got £10.

Let's get that on the board.

APPLAUSE

Your total after two rolls is £360.

So, with the two rolls added together...

Dean, you scored £1,150,

Chloe, you scored £360

and Tom, you didn't score anything.

Which means Dean, Chloe, you are through to the next round.

Please return to your podiums.

APPLAUSE

Tom, unfortunately you earned the least amount of money in that round,

which means you go home with nothing.

I think if I had the lane tripled, I still would roll off the end.

-You've been a great contestant. Tom, everybody!

-Thank you.

APPLAUSE

Chloe, Dean, you are through to the next round.

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

So, Chloe, you now have £1,310

and Dean, you have £2,000.

That money is safely banked for the final,

should you manage to get there.

Round Three.

We are 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 standard foot pedals in a manual car.

Chloe.

The clutch, the brake and the accelerator.

Correct.

Give the golfing terms used in England to describe one,

two and three strokes under par.

-Chloe.

-Three under par.

-That's wrong, I'm afraid.

-Oh.

It was birdie, eagle and albatross.

You're frozen out for the next question.

Dean, you don't have to answer this.

Name the three male coaches on the 2014 series of The Voice.

Dean.

will.i.am...

..Ricky Wilson...

..and Tom Jones.

Correct.

Chloe, you're back in play.

Give the three names of the wires in a standard UK plug.

-Chloe.

-Earth, neutral, live.

That's correct, well done.

Give the three digits that make up the nonemergency

police phone number.

Chloe.

101.

-That's correct.

-Yes!

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

Name the three fire signs of the Zodiac.

Chloe.

Leo, which is mine...

Oh, come on, come on, come on, brains!

No, I'm sorry, you are out of time.

It was Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.

You're frozen out for the next question.

Dean, you don't have to answer this.

Name the three words in the famous London underground slogan

warning people to take care when boarding a train.

-Dean.

-Mind the Gap.

That's correct.

Name the three title characters

played on film by Sasha Baron Cohen

prior to the 2012 movie The Dictator.

Dean.

Ali G, Borat and Bruno.

That's correct.

So, Dean, you too need one correct answer to get first choice of lane.

Name the three letters that appear twice in the word committee.

Chloe.

M, T and E.

That's correct. Well done, Chloe.

APPLAUSE

You released your ball first and get first choice of lane

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

After you roll, you get to place a danger zone on Dean's lane

to make things as difficult as possible for him.

-Yes!

-So...

it's the yellow or the red.

I will choose the yellow lane.

-Yellow?

-Because I've had quite enough of the red lane.

OK, well, Chloe, you'll roll first on the yellow lane.

APPLAUSE

Dean, you've been left with the red lane

and of course that danger zone.

You'll roll second on the red lane.

APPLAUSE

OK...

It's time to take to the lanes.

APPLAUSE

Well, we are back at the lanes and the cash zones are activated.

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

£3,000.

APPLAUSE

But go over the edge...

and you get nothing.

Now, you 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.

Chloe, you'll roll first.

-Do you feel confident?

-Absolutely.

Chloe...

it's time to take on the edge.

Let's roll.

Nice technique, thinking about it there.

It's got a good speed.

Keep going, keep going...

That's £350. Let's get that on the board.

APPLAUSE

Chloe, you don't look very happy about that.

-I can do better than that.

-Do you know what?

It's better than £1.

Now, Chloe, you control a danger zone

and you can put it anywhere on Dean's lane from £10 to £950.

Where would you like to put it?

-I'd like to put the danger zone on the 800 mark, please.

-800.

So what's the thinking behind that? What's the strategy?

I think it's an area that he naturally plays to,

so I'm going to try and keep him out of his favourite area.

So, Dean, how do you feel about that?

Could have been worse, I think.

I think if it had gone slightly more in the middle,

that would have made it a bit trickier for me.

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

Let's roll.

Has it got enough pace?

It's slowing down.

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

Dean...

So that roll didn't get out of the £1 zone.

So, after the first role, Chloe, you have £350

and Dean, you have £1.

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

Let's roll.

We're off. Oh, it's quite fast. Is it too fast?

It's got a lot of pace on it.

-Ah, stop! Stop!

-Slow down!

AUDIENCE GROANS

Chloe, that was so close!

So that means that roll scores nothing.

Chloe, you now have a choice.

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

you've just rolled, do you want to move it?

Based on what Dean just said before,

I'm actually going to bring it back to 650.

-650, let's move it to 650.

-I was listening!

So, 650 has disappeared from your lane to be replaced by £1, Dean.

-Oh, she's mean, isn't she?

-She really is, yeah.

-She's not messing about.

-She's not, no.

I really wish I hadn't said that thing earlier, now.

It's time to take on the edge.

Let's roll.

And we're off.

Oh, this is looking fast.

Come on, stop on the edge. Stop on the edge!

Oh, keep going, keep going...

Well done, Dean.

Chloe, you must be kicking yourself.

You just moved the danger zone off the £800.

Let's get that £800 on the board.

APPLAUSE

Well done, Dean.

So, after the second roll, Dean, you have £801.

Chloe, you still have £350.

And now it's time for your third and final roll.

What are you going to do, Chloe?

I'm going to roll it medium way because I can still beat him.

Well, you've got to get at least 500 to stay in the game.

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

Let's roll.

So, Chloe, we need 500 or higher.

This is looking very, very fast.

AUDIENCE GROANS

Well, Chloe, no-one can say you didn't go for it.

That roll scores nothing.

Aww.

-What happened?

-I did my level best and it wasn't good enough.

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

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

-Let's take it down to 200. Let's be nice.

-Down to 200.

Can we move that danger zone, please?

So 200 has disappeared from your lane to be replaced by just £1.

You could have been a lot nicer there, Chloe,

you could have put it on £10.

Yeah, I'm not feeling THAT nice!

LAUGHTER

So, Dean...

you know you're through to the final.

This is an opportunity to bank as much money as you can.

It's time to take on the edge.

Let's roll.

Ah, with confidence.

This is going...keep going.

Get past that danger zone, that's good.

More, more.

That's stopped on £350, Dean.

Well done.

APPLAUSE

And that gives you a grand total after three rolls of £1,151.

Well done, Dean.

Chloe, you earned £350.

That means, Dean, you are through to the final.

Please return to the podium.

APPLAUSE

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

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

Have you had a good time?

-It's been a lot of fun, thank you.

-Chloe, everybody.

Thank you very much.

APPLAUSE

-Well done, Dean, you are in the final.

-I know.

You're going to be playing for all the money you've earned, which is...

APPLAUSE

Now, you said you like to win and you certainly

saw off the competition.

So if you do win, what are you going to spend the money on?

-Well, Mark, I'd actually like to buy an ice cream van.

-An ice cream van?

Yes, I've got an idea for a business that doesn't involve selling

ice cream but does require an ice cream van,

but I can't reveal too much about it.

So if I come up, I won't get and 99 or anything?

-Yeah, I'd maybe do one for you.

-Make an exception for me?

-Exactly, yeah.

I like it. It's the final...

..and we are 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 and you'll win £3,151.

But go over the edge and you get nothing, Dean.

You have a chance to make it easy 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 four correct answers

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

I wish you the best of luck, Dean.

Let's put 75 seconds on the clock.

Time will start when I've read the first question.

Name the four words that come before Argentina to form

the title of a song from the musical Evita.

Don't Cry For Me.

Correct. Name four ways to score points in a Rugby Union game.

Try, conversion, dropkick and penalty.

Correct. Name four US states beginning with N.

North Dakota...

..Nebraska...

..pass.

Name the four words that make up the end of the week abbreviation TGIF.

Thank God it's Friday.

Correct. Name the four members of Coldplay.

Chris Martin...pass.

Name the four highest-value UK coins in general circulation.

£2 coin, £1 coin, 50p, 20p.

Correct.

Name the four single discipline athletics events

in the 2012 Olympics to involve throwing.

Discus, hammer, javelin, shot putt.

Correct.

Name the four 24-hour clock equivalents of 9pm, 10pm,

11pm and midnight.

21, 22, 23 and 20...and 00.00

I'm sorry, that's wrong.

Name the four months that end with the letters B-E-R.

September, October, November, December.

Correct.

Name four countries that share land borders with South Africa.

Pass.

Name the four consonants in the word "solution".

S, L, T, N.

Oh, just out of time, Dean.

Congratulations,

you answered six correctly.

APPLAUSE

However, the ones you missed were...

Four US states beginning with N.

You could have had Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire...

name the four 24-hour clock equivalents

for 9pm, 10pm, 11pm and midnight.

Unfortunately, we have to take your first answer.

You said 20 and then 000, so we can't take that.

We were looking for 24 or 0.

Countries that share of land borders with South Africa.

You could have had Swaziland, Botswana...

Now, four consonants in the word "solution".

You were just out of time.

You did get it right - S, L, T, N.

To see what that score has done to the edge,

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

APPLAUSE

Now, every one of your correct answers

increases the size of your edge.

Let's put your six correct answers on to your lane.

That's one, two,

three, four,

five, six.

APPLAUSE

That's your final edge, Dean. Are you confident of hitting it?

It still looks quite far away, but...

Yeah, I think so. I think I can do it.

Well, you now have a choice to make.

You can roll for the full £3,151 with only one ball

and one attempt hit the edge or you can take two balls, but that means

your roll for only half the money, which we've rounded up to £1,576.

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

the edge but you would be playing for a third of the money,

which we're calling £1,051.

So, Dean, how many rolls would you like?

Ice cream vans don't come cheap, Mark.

-I think I'm going to have to try and do it in one.

-In one?

-Yeah.

Excellent, Dean.

APPLAUSE

So you are giving yourself one chance to win £3,151.

Good luck.

It's time to take on the edge.

For £3,151, for the final time...

..let's roll.

Come on, Dean. We want that ice cream van.

This is looking good, keep going.

A bit more... A bit more...

Oh, Dean!

Dean...

that's just short of the edge.

APPLAUSE

Dean, you wanted a big win, you gave it your all,

-you're a true sportsman. I mean, you could not have got closer.

-I know.

I know, just one more roll...

You weren't able to hit your final edge so sadly,

you are going home empty-handed.

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

pushing themselves to the edge. Why?

Because that's how we roll. Bye-bye, now.

APPLAUSE
