0:00:26 > 0:00:29In life, there's often a thin line between glorious success
0:00:29 > 0:00:32and total failure - and here that line is known as...
0:00:34 > 0:00:35..the edge.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Yes, it's down these lanes that today's game will be won and lost
0:00:39 > 0:00:42as players roll their balls down either the green, blue,
0:00:42 > 0:00:45yellow or the intimidating red lane.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47The nearer they get to the edge...
0:00:51 > 0:00:53..the more money they earn.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54But if they roll over the edge...
0:00:56 > 0:00:57..they get nothing.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Let's meet the players who, today,
0:00:59 > 0:01:01are going to push themselves to the edge.

0:01:35 > 0:01:36In a moment, all four of you
0:01:36 > 0:01:38are going to take to the lanes and roll for big money.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Which lane you roll down
0:01:40 > 0:01:43will be decided in a battle of general knowledge.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45I'm going to ask a series of questions.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Buzz in with a correct answer and your ball moves up towards you.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51But buzz in with an incorrect answer and you'll be frozen out.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Now, the shortest lane rolls first.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40So it'll be green, then blue, yellow then red.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42You all had a practice on the lanes before the show
0:04:42 > 0:04:44so the big question is, Meryl, which one's for you?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- I think it will be the yellow. - Why the yellow?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Well, it's a pretty colour...

0:07:34 > 0:07:37You can have the green, the blue or the red.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- I'm going to go for the blue lane. - Why the blue?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Cos I was pretty good at it in practice,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45and I think I need a little bit more distance than the green.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- You don't fancy the red? - I don't fancy the red at all.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Well, Neil, you'll be rolling second down the blue lane.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04You can have the green or the red.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- Got to be the red.- Got to be the red?- Yeah, absolutely.- Why?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09It was my favourite lane in practice,
0:09:09 > 0:09:11so it was my first choice all along.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Excellent. Well, Martin, good luck.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15You'll be rolling fourth on the red lane.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19So, Nikki, that means you've been left with the green lane.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Are you happy about that? - That's absolutely fine, yeah.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- I'll make it work.- Excellent.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Nikki, you'll roll first on the green lane.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31But who's staying and who's going home? Let's find out.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33It's time to take to the lanes.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Welcome to the lanes.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45This is where you earn your money.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47The cash zones are now activated.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Starting with £1 at the very beginning of the lane,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53all the way up to the edge which, in round one, is worth...
0:09:53 > 0:09:55£1,000.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Yes.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Stop your ball on the edge to win that money.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Go over the edge...
0:10:05 > 0:10:06..and you get nothing.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08You each have one roll down your respective lanes
0:10:08 > 0:10:10to earn as much as you can.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13For three of you, whatever you earn will be added to your personal bank,
0:10:13 > 0:10:16which you'll play for, should you reach the final.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19But whoever earns the least in this round is leaving us.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22The shortest lane rolls first and will be setting the score to beat.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24So, Nikki, are you happy about that?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27A bit nervous, but I think I can do it.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28It's time to take on The Edge.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33Let's roll.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Off. Oh, is this too fast?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Oh, this is looking good!
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Stop! Stop.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Oh!
0:10:58 > 0:11:01That was so close, Nikki. Hard lines.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05You rolled over the edge. I'm afraid that roll scores you nothing.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06- So you left it wide open now.- Yep.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10I just have to hope someone else goes over the edge.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13So, Neil, if you keep your ball on the lane,
0:11:13 > 0:11:15it means you're through to the next round.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19But remember, if you hit the edge, there's £1,000 up for grabs.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Sounds easy(!)
0:11:22 > 0:11:23It's time to take on The Edge.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29Let's roll.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39So it can score. Slowing down.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Well done, Neil.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46That roll scores you £500. Let's put that on the board.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- And more importantly, it guarantees your place in the next round.- Phew!
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Meryl, you're next on the yellow lane.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57If you keep your ball on that lane, even if you drop it at your feet -
0:11:57 > 0:11:59because remember the pound zone begins
0:11:59 > 0:12:02right at the start of the lane - you'll be through to the next round.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05It's time to take on The Edge.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Let's roll.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18We're off.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20It's got quite a lot of pace on this.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Slowing down, it's looking good.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Looking good. Yes.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30That roll scores you £550, Meryl. Well done.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Let's put that on the board.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Nice to see people aren't playing it safe.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Get some money in the bank, that's what we like.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41So, Meryl, you're through to the next round.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- Nikki, it's your last hope. - I know. Please?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47You need Martin to go over the edge
0:12:47 > 0:12:49to give you a chance.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Martin, you've got to keep the ball on the lane, and you're through.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53Yeah. Absolutely, yeah.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57- Remember, £1,000 available if you hit the edge.- OK.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59It's time to take on The Edge.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03Let's roll.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15We're off. Oh, it's quite slow. Is it going to get out the pound zone?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Just as I said no-one was playing it safe...
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Martin, that roll scores you £1.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Let's put that on the board.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28It's only a pound, but it's good enough.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29So, at the end of the rolls...
0:13:29 > 0:13:34Neil, you have 500. Meryl, 550. Martin, a pound.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36And, Nikki, you don't have anything.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39So, Neil, Meryl, Martin you're through to the next round.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40Please return to the podiums.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Unfortunately, Nikki, you earned the least amount of money in that round
0:13:49 > 0:13:51so that means you're leaving here with nothing.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Played it too risky. Should have been safer.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56It's not good for my nerves, this show.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- Have you enjoyed yourself? - Yeah, it's been great.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Well, it's been very brief, but you've been a great contestant.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- Nikki, everybody. - APPLAUSE
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Martin, Meryl, Neil, congratulations.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10You're through to the next round.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Martin, you're the director of a pub company?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15- That's right, yes.- Is that a posh phrase for a landlord?
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Pretty much, yeah.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19It means I've got two pubs, so I can now call myself a director.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21See, you don't look like someone who works in a pub a lot.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- Do you not drink a lot of beer? - Erm, no, I'm a bit of a lightweight.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Probably a good thing. - Yeah, absolutely, yes.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- Meryl.- Yes. - What do you do in your spare time?
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Well, during the rugby season, I support my local rugby team,
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- Pontypridd.- Pontypridd. - Pontypridd, yes.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40- Let's give them a shout out - come on, Pontypridd!- Come on, Ponti!
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Do you follow them around?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Yeah, and I follow Wales, the national team.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48- Love going to Italy for the away games. Fabulous.- Excellent.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Neil, you're a bit of a ringer really, aren't you?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Because you do pub quizzes.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57I do, yeah. I do my local pub quiz once a week.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59We usually manage to win around once a month.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Do you have a specialist subject?
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I'm good on TV, film and sport.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- We'll find out!- Well, yeah.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- Good luck, all of you.- Thank you.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11The money you earned is added to your personal bank.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13So, Martin, you have £1.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14Meryl, you have £550.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16And Neil, you have £500.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19But only one of you can reach today's final
0:15:19 > 0:15:20and play for that money.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Round Two.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24And we're shutting down the shortest lane.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29And now we're introducing danger zones,
0:15:29 > 0:15:32meaning any of the cash zones from £10 all the way to £950
0:15:32 > 0:15:34could become a danger zone.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37If that happens, its value drops to just £1.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39How many danger zones you face
0:15:39 > 0:15:41depends on how well you do on the questions.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44If you're first to release your ball, you get first choice of lane
0:15:44 > 0:15:46and no danger zones.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Whoever gets second choice gets one danger zone.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53And the final player will have no choice of lane and two danger zones.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57So the best brains really do get the best lanes.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00The questions now require not one, but two correct answers.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Fingers on buzzers.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Name the continents separated by the Strait of Gibraltar.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08- BUZZER - Neil.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- Africa and Europe. - That's correct.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Name the actors who played Baldrick and Edmund Blackadder.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16- BUZZER - Neil.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- Rowan Atkinson, Tony Robinson. - That's correct.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21In the TV sitcom Blackadder.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Name the heckling couple from the TV show The Muppets.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26- BUZZER - Neil.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27Statler and Waldorf.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30It was Statler and Waldorf from the TV show The Muppets.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Neil, one more correct answer, you'll release your ball first.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Name the actor and actress
0:16:37 > 0:16:39who portrayed Scarlet O'Hara and Rhett Butler...
0:16:39 > 0:16:40- BUZZER - Meryl.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Vivien Leigh and...
0:16:44 > 0:16:45Oh, gosh.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- Oh! Can't think of his name. - You're out of time.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable in Gone With The Wind.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Meryl, you're frozen out for the next question.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Give the two names beginning with R and C that are commonly used
0:16:58 > 0:17:01to describe the opposing sides of the English Civil War.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- BUZZER - Neil.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Roundheads. And...
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Cavaliers.- That's correct. Well done, Neil.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Well remembered.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14You've released your ball first
0:17:14 > 0:17:17which means you'll face no danger zones.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21So you've got a choice. Blue, yellow or red?
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- I'm going to go with the blue one again.- Why blue?
0:17:25 > 0:17:29I was pretty good on it in the last round, so stick with what you know.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30I was awful on the red in practice,
0:17:30 > 0:17:33so I'll stay away from that as much as possible.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Well, Neil, you'll be rolling first on the blue lane.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Two lanes left. We've reset the podiums. Fingers on buzzers.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Name the two words that begin with H and S that make up a children's game
0:17:45 > 0:17:47where one person closes their eyes and counts...
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- BUZZER - Meryl.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- Hide and Seek.- Correct. Before going off to find their friends.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Name the letter and the number that make up
0:17:55 > 0:17:58the name of the Doctor's robot dog companion in Doctor Who.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- BUZZER - Martin.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- K9.- That's correct.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Name the two youngest members of The Beatles.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05- BUZZER - Meryl.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Paul McCartney and George Harrison. - That's correct.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Name the last two home stadiums of Arsenal Football Club.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15- BUZZER - Martin.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- The Emirates and Highbury. - That's correct.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19Neck and neck, you two.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Name the two actors who played DS Ellie Miller
0:18:22 > 0:18:25and DI Alec Hardy in the TV drama Broadchurch.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- BUZZER - Meryl.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Neil Tennant and...
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Wrong, I'm afraid. Neil Tennant was from the Pet Shop Boys.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- Maybe could have done the theme tune.- Yes.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38It was David Tennant and Olivia Colman.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Silly me.- You're frozen out for the next question.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Name the two positions of a standard manual gear stick
0:18:44 > 0:18:47that do not include numbers.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48- BUZZER - Martin.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- Neutral and reverse.- That's correct.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53So, Martin, one more correct answer, you get next choice of lane.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Meryl, you're back in play.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Name the two bands who have had UK top ten singles
0:18:58 > 0:19:00with Dave Grohl in their regular line-up.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01- BUZZER - Martin.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06- Nirvana and Foo Fighters. - That's correct, well done, Martin.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07You've released your ball second.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09That means you get one danger zone.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Now, which lane would you like?
0:19:11 > 0:19:12You can have the yellow or the red.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15I'm going to go for the red one again.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Well, remember you scored a pound last time.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19It's not hard to beat a pound.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Well, Martin, you'll roll third on the red lane.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26So, Meryl, you've been left with the yellow lane
0:19:26 > 0:19:27and two danger zones.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29How do you feel about that?
0:19:29 > 0:19:30- SHE SIGHS - Bring it on.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Oh, yes.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35OK, Meryl, you'll be rolling second on the yellow lane.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38So, Martin, Meryl, Neil,
0:19:38 > 0:19:40it's time to take to the lanes.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51We're back at the lanes and the cash zones are activated.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Stop your ball on the edge in this round and you'll win...
0:19:55 > 0:19:56£2,000!
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Oh, yes! But go over the edge and you'll get nothing.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05You each have two rolls to earn as much as you can.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07The rolls will be combined and for two of you,
0:20:07 > 0:20:10whatever you earn will be added to your personal bank.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11But, irrespective of that bank,
0:20:11 > 0:20:14whoever earns the least in this round will be going home.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Neil, you're rolling first down the blue lane
0:20:17 > 0:20:19and you'll face no danger zones
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- because you did so well on the questions.- Phew!
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Any strategy in mind?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I'm going to try and get a bit more than I did last time,
0:20:25 > 0:20:30so anything between 500 and the edge I think would be great.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Well, if you hit the edge,
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- £200,000 is available.- Yeah.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36It's dangerous, though, isn't it?
0:20:36 > 0:20:38It's time to take on The Edge.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Let's roll.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50So we want to beat 500.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Oh, this looks fast. Slow down!
0:20:53 > 0:20:55It looks good.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56AUDIENCE: Ohh...
0:20:56 > 0:20:58GROANING
0:20:58 > 0:21:00AUDIENCE: Ohh...
0:21:04 > 0:21:08So, Neil, I'm afraid that roll scores you nothing.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- Oh, dear.- Just a little bit too strong there.- I know.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14But remember, all is not lost. You have another roll left.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Meryl, you're rolling second, down the yellow lane,
0:21:17 > 0:21:20and you'll face two danger zones.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Before you roll, we need to find out where those danger zones will be.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26They're running up and down your lane.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28They'll stop when you press that button. Good luck.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34So that's £400 and £450
0:21:34 > 0:21:38that are gone from your lane and are replaced by £1.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39How do you feel about that?
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Oh, terrible. That's the worst place, I think.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- Well, they are together.- Yeah. I'll give it a go, give it a go.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Well, Meryl, you rolled 550 last time you were on this lane.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50If you can do that again, you'll be safe.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54It's time to take on The Edge.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Let's roll.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Trying to avoid those danger zones. Oh, this looks fast.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Is it too fast?
0:22:13 > 0:22:14AUDIENCE GROANS
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Just a bit too strong there, I think, Meryl.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Neil's smiling. That's good for you.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Meryl, that roll scores you nothing.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32So, Martin, you have the red lane
0:22:32 > 0:22:34and one danger zone.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36It's running up and down your lane.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39It'll stop when you hit that button. Good luck.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44So that's £500 lost from your lane
0:22:44 > 0:22:47to be replaced by just £1. What do you think about that?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- Could be worse.- It could.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52And of course, because Neil and Meryl scored nothing,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54you can get yourself a little lead here if you bag some money.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- Absolutely. Yeah. - It's time to take on the edge.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Let's roll.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Let's get it out of that pound zone. Come on!
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Keep going, keep going!
0:23:14 > 0:23:17And... Oh...
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Just out of the pound zone, Martin.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22A missed opportunity there to bank some money.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23That roll scores you £10.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Let's put that on the board.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27APPLAUSE
0:23:29 > 0:23:31But of course, it's better than last time,
0:23:31 > 0:23:32when you scored only £1.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34OK, before everyone rolls again,
0:23:34 > 0:23:36let's look at what you've earned so far.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Neil, you have nothing. Meryl, you have nothing,
0:23:39 > 0:23:41and Martin, you have £10.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44So, Neil, it's a very tight round.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48You've got an opportunity now to get yourself right back in the game.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52- Think you can do it?- Hopefully. It's got to be better than the last one.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54It has. Don't go over the edge!
0:23:56 > 0:23:57It's time to take on The Edge.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Let's roll.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10So it's still in the lane this time.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Oh. Oh, this is looking good.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Oh, yes, keep going. Bit more, bit more.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Well done, Neil!
0:24:20 > 0:24:22You are right back in the game.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26That roll scores you £900. Let's put that on the board.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28APPLAUSE
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- Great roll. You're smiling now, you see.- I know.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Yes, I couldn't have asked for a lot better than that, really.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36I'm scared of going over the edge again.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39So, Meryl, to guarantee yourself a place in the next round,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42you have to score 950 or the edge.
0:24:42 > 0:24:47Still got those two danger zones of 400 and 450, so please avoid them.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- Mm-hmm.- It's time to take on The Edge.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54Let's roll.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Let's avoid those danger zones.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Oh...
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Yes, passed them!
0:25:10 > 0:25:13This is looking good, Meryl.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14- Well done, Meryl.- Yes!
0:25:14 > 0:25:17That roll scores you £800. Let's put that on the board.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20APPLAUSE
0:25:20 > 0:25:22We're getting some good money up there now.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24And that means that Neil, you can relax,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27you are guaranteed a place in the next round.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Martin, to guarantee yourself a place in the next round,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34you have to score £800 or more.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37That danger zone is still there
0:25:37 > 0:25:39on 500, so please avoid it.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40It's time to take on The Edge.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Let's roll.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55So we need 800 or more.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Is this going to slow down in time? I think it is.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Is it strong enough? Oh...
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Oh, not quite.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Martin, that roll scores you £650. Let's put that on the board.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13APPLAUSE
0:26:13 > 0:26:16So, with the two rolls added together....
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Neil, you have £900.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Meryl, you have £100,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22and Martin, you have £660.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Which means, Neil, Meryl,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27you're through to the next round. Please return to the podiums.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28APPLAUSE
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Unfortunately, Martin, you earned the least amount of money
0:26:34 > 0:26:37in that round, which means you're leaving here with nothing.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39You finally got the measure of the red lane on the second roll,
0:26:39 > 0:26:41- but it was just too late, wasn't it?- Yeah, it was.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Have you enjoyed yourself?
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Yeah, I've had a really good day. Thank you.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Well, you've been a great contestant. Martin, everybody.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49APPLAUSE
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Meryl, Neil, well done. You're through to the next round.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- Thank you.- So, Meryl, rugby aside...
0:26:56 > 0:26:58- Yes.- What else do you like to do in your spare time?
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Well, I do like looking around antique fairs and shops
0:27:01 > 0:27:03and drag my husband around with me,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- but he's getting into it himself now, so that's quite nice.- Lovely.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09So is your house adorned with...?
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Not really adorned. I can't afford it!
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Just one or two pieces.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15And Neil, who have you got at home cheering you on?
0:27:15 > 0:27:19- My wife, Bethan, who's a teacher, and I've got four children.- Four?
0:27:19 > 0:27:23- I know. Glutton for punishment. - How come you've not got grey hair?
0:27:23 > 0:27:24I should have.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25LAUGHTER
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Well, the money you earned is added to your personal bank.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31So, Meryl, you now have £1,350,
0:27:31 > 0:27:34and Neil, you have £1,400.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35That money is safely banked
0:27:35 > 0:27:38for the final, should you manage to get there.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39Round Three...
0:27:39 > 0:27:41and we're shutting down another lane.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46In this round, there's only one danger zone.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48The first player to release their ball will have control of
0:27:48 > 0:27:52that danger zone and can place it anywhere on their opponent's lane.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55So as ever, the best brains get the best lanes.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58The questions now require not two, but three correct answers.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59Fingers on buzzers.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Name the three sports associated with
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Steven Hendry, Eric Bristow and...
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Meryl.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Um...
0:28:10 > 0:28:11TIMER RUNS OUT
0:28:11 > 0:28:12Buzzed in too early there.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14The final name was going to be Barry McGuigan,
0:28:14 > 0:28:17so it would have been snooker, darts and boxing.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Meryl, you are frozen out for the next question.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Neil, only buzz in if you know the answer.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Give the full three-word name of the global financial institution
0:28:24 > 0:28:26the IMF.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27Neil.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29The International Monetary Fund.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32That's correct. Meryl, you're back in play.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Name the three-word French phrase
0:28:34 > 0:28:36for a relationship with three people in it.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37- Neil.- Menage a trois.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39That's correct.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43Name the three words that complete the title of the cooking show
0:28:43 > 0:28:46hosted by Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins - The Great...
0:28:46 > 0:28:47Meryl.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49The Great British Bake Off.
0:28:49 > 0:28:50That's correct.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Name the three parts of the body on which you would usually wear
0:28:53 > 0:28:56a hat, gloves and socks.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57Neil.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Your head, your hands and your feet.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00That's correct, Neil.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04That means, next correct answer, you get first choice of lane.
0:29:04 > 0:29:09Name the first three multiples of 13 after 13 itself.
0:29:09 > 0:29:10Neil.
0:29:10 > 0:29:1226, 39, 52.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14That's correct. Well done, Neil.
0:29:14 > 0:29:15APPLAUSE
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- Well done, dear.- Thank you. - You have released your ball first,
0:29:18 > 0:29:20which means you get first choice of lane.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24Now, in this round you'll roll first whichever lane you choose
0:29:24 > 0:29:27because after you roll you can place a danger zone anywhere you like
0:29:27 > 0:29:30on Meryl's lane, just to make things really difficult for her.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Which lane would you like? Yellow or red?
0:29:33 > 0:29:37I'm going to have to go for yellow now my favourite blue lane has gone.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39You're not worried if you make it to the final
0:29:39 > 0:29:41you won't have had any practice on the red lane?
0:29:41 > 0:29:44No, I'm not worried. I just want to make it to the final, really.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47OK, well, Neil, you'll be rolling first on the yellow lane.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49APPLAUSE
0:29:49 > 0:29:53Which means, Meryl, you've been left with the red lane.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55- How do you feel about that? - Oh, I don't know.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Gives me more to mess up, I suppose!
0:29:58 > 0:30:02- You can do it, Meryl.- Yeah.- You'll be rolling second on the red lane.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04APPLAUSE
0:30:04 > 0:30:06So, Meryl, Neil,
0:30:06 > 0:30:08it's time to take to the lanes.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:30:16 > 0:30:19We're back at the lanes and the cash zones are activated.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Stop your ball on the edge in this round and you'll win...
0:30:22 > 0:30:23£3,000.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26CHEERING
0:30:26 > 0:30:30But go over the edge in this round and you get nothing.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32You now have three rolls to earn as much as you can.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34The rolls will be added together
0:30:34 > 0:30:37and one of you will be taking the money earned through to the final.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41But whoever earns the least in this round will be going home.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42Neil, you'll roll first.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Any tactics in mind?
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Aim for the middle, really.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Aim for 500 and hope for the best.
0:30:50 > 0:30:51It's time to take on The Edge.
0:30:55 > 0:30:56Let's roll.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06So you're aiming for somewhere in the middle.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Is it going to get that far?
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Not quite.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Neil, that roll scores you £250.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Let's put that on the board.
0:31:16 > 0:31:17APPLAUSE
0:31:17 > 0:31:22- Well, at least it didn't go over the edge.- Yes. Nowhere near it, in fact.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24You now control a danger zone.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26You can put it anywhere you like on Meryl's lane
0:31:26 > 0:31:29from £10 all the way up to £950.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Where would you like to put it?
0:31:31 > 0:31:32Let's go for...
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- 450.- Why 450?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Because it's a little bit more than I was going on mine,
0:31:38 > 0:31:40it's sort of mid-range.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44OK, so £450 is lost from your lane, Meryl, and is replaced by just £1.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50- So, Meryl, is that going to put you off?- No, not at all(!)
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Says she!
0:31:53 > 0:31:55See, that's where you had it in the last round.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58You were really upset about it. Why the change of heart this time?
0:31:58 > 0:32:01I don't know. I'm really in uncharted waters here,
0:32:01 > 0:32:04but I'll... I'll give it my best.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06It's time to take on The Edge.
0:32:09 > 0:32:10Let's roll.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20This is quite fast.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Is it going to slow down in time?
0:32:22 > 0:32:23Looking good.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Oh... This is good.
0:32:28 > 0:32:29Meryl, well done.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33That roll scores you £750. Let's put that on the board.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36APPLAUSE
0:32:36 > 0:32:37No reason to be nervous!
0:32:37 > 0:32:41- No!- You said you were in uncharted territory.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43- I am!- No!
0:32:43 > 0:32:46So after the first roll, Neil, you have £250.
0:32:46 > 0:32:47Meryl, you have £750.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Neil, it's time for your second roll.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54You're really going to have to pull something out of the bag here
0:32:54 > 0:32:56- to stay in contention.- I know.
0:32:56 > 0:32:57It's time to take on The Edge.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Let's roll.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Oh, this is looking good.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Definitely going to score more than last time.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17Oh. And...
0:33:17 > 0:33:19APPLAUSE
0:33:19 > 0:33:22That roll scores you £850, Neil.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Let's add that to your first roll.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30- That's better.- That gives you a total after two rolls of £1,100, Neil.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34- A lot better.- Well, that definitely puts you back in contention now.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36So, Neil, you now have a choice.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Do you want to keep that danger zone where it is, or,
0:33:38 > 0:33:40based on what you've just rolled,
0:33:40 > 0:33:42would you like to move it?
0:33:42 > 0:33:43I'll keep it where it is.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Let's stick with that.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47OK, so let's leave that danger zone where it is.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49So, Meryl, in just one roll,
0:33:49 > 0:33:52you went from being 500 ahead to being 350 behind.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55You have to do something with this roll.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57It's time to take on The Edge.
0:34:00 > 0:34:01Let's roll.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15It's slowing down. Is it going to get out of the pound zone?
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Oh, no!
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Don't think it is.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Meryl, that roll scores you £1.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Let's add that to your first roll.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27So, Meryl, what happened there?
0:34:27 > 0:34:30Oh, I played it too safe, didn't I? Never mind.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33- Did the nerves get to you a bit? - Yeah, just a bit.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Well, after the second roll, Neil, you have £1,100.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Meryl, you have £751.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43Neil, time for your third and final roll in this round.
0:34:43 > 0:34:49If you can roll a £650 or more, you will push Meryl to the edge.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51What's going through your head?
0:34:51 > 0:34:52Don't go over the edge!
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Well, remember, the edge is worth £3,000 in this round.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57That's a lot of money.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59It's time to take on The Edge.
0:35:02 > 0:35:03Let's roll.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11So ideally we're looking for £650 or more.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15Oh, it's got a bit of pace on it.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17You're past 650.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Oh! Stop!
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Yes! Neil, well done!
0:35:22 > 0:35:25CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:25 > 0:35:28What a fantastic roll, Neil. Well done.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32So you stopped your ball on the edge,
0:35:32 > 0:35:36which means we add to your bank £3,000!
0:35:36 > 0:35:39CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:39 > 0:35:43Giving you a total after three rolls of £4,100.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Well, this very rarely happens, Meryl,
0:35:46 > 0:35:49but because of Neil's fantastic final roll, it is now impossible
0:35:49 > 0:35:54for you to catch up with his score, so you won't be rolling again.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57So at the end of that round, Neil has £4,100.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Meryl, you have £751.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03That means, Neil, you take what you've earned to today's final.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Congratulations. Please return to the podiums.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09APPLAUSE
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Meryl, you earned the least amount of money in that round
0:36:12 > 0:36:14so unfortunately you're leaving us with nothing.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Yeah, he certainly had the edge on me. Huh!
0:36:17 > 0:36:18LAUGHTER
0:36:18 > 0:36:21I like it! Have you enjoyed yourself?
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Oh, yeah, it's been great, yes.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- You've been great fun. - Thank you.- Meryl, everybody.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28APPLAUSE
0:36:28 > 0:36:29Congratulations, Neil.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31- Thank you.- You've made it through to today's final,
0:36:31 > 0:36:34where you're playing for all the money you've earned so far -
0:36:34 > 0:36:37a total of £5,500.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39CHEERING
0:36:39 > 0:36:40That's not bad, is it?
0:36:40 > 0:36:43It's not bad, no. It's a lot more than I thought it would be.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46So if you were to win that money, what would you do with it?
0:36:46 > 0:36:49I think I'd take the family on holiday. Florida is somewhere
0:36:49 > 0:36:52where I'd want to take them, really, so I'd put it to that.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Excellent. It's the final.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56And we're shutting down one more lane...
0:36:58 > 0:37:00..leaving only the red lane.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04We've removed the cash values from that lane, leaving only the edge,
0:37:04 > 0:37:07which is now worth all the money you've earned today.
0:37:07 > 0:37:13Stop your ball on the edge in the final and you'll win £5,500.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15APPLAUSE
0:37:15 > 0:37:18But go over the edge and you get nothing.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20But you have a chance to make it easier for yourself
0:37:20 > 0:37:22by answering some more questions.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Each correct answer increases the size of your lane.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30The more questions you get right, the bigger the edge will be
0:37:30 > 0:37:33and the easier your final roll.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37Each question now requires not three but four correct answers,
0:37:37 > 0:37:41and you'll have 75 seconds to get as many right as you can.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Let's put 75 seconds on the clock, please.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Your time will start when I've read the first question.

0:39:13 > 0:39:16Well done, Neil. You answered five questions correctly.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Oh, that's not too bad. Not too bad.

0:39:20 > 0:39:22Countries beginning with M-A-L.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26You could have had Malaysia, Malawi, Maldives, Mali, Malta.

0:39:40 > 0:39:43The teams you missed were Blackburn Rovers and Man City.
0:39:43 > 0:39:44So, you got five correct.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46To see what that score has done to the edge,
0:39:46 > 0:39:49let's take to the lanes for the final time.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51APPLAUSE
0:39:58 > 0:40:00So, Neil, every one of your correct answers
0:40:00 > 0:40:02increases the size of your edge.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Let's put your five correct answers onto your lane.
0:40:05 > 0:40:11That's one, two, three, four, five.
0:40:11 > 0:40:12CHEERING
0:40:13 > 0:40:16That's your final edge, Neil. How confident are you of hitting it?
0:40:16 > 0:40:19- 50-50, I think. - Looks like a decent edge to me.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Yeah, it's better than none, certainly.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23You now have a choice to make.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25You can roll for the full £5,500
0:40:25 > 0:40:28with only one ball and one attempt to hit the edge.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Or you can take two balls
0:40:30 > 0:40:35but that means you'll roll for only half the money - £2,750.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39Or you can take three balls, that's three attempts to hit the edge,
0:40:39 > 0:40:41but you'll be playing for a third of the money,
0:40:41 > 0:40:45which we've rounded up to £1,834.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49What are you thinking, Neil? How many rolls would you like?
0:40:49 > 0:40:52I'm thinking it's got to be more than one.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Let's go for two rolls.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57It's a nice amount of money.
0:40:57 > 0:40:58It certainly is.
0:40:58 > 0:41:04So, Neil, you're giving yourself two chances to win £2,750.

0:41:07 > 0:41:10It's time to take on The Edge.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18For £2,750, let's roll.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Let's see if this ball's going to stop inside the edge
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Is it too fast?
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Is it going to slow down in time?
0:41:36 > 0:41:37Oh,
0:41:37 > 0:41:38not quite.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44So, Neil, you've used the first of your two rolls.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46One roll left.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51- How are you feeling, Neil? - Nervous, now.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Do you think you've got the measure of the lane?
0:41:54 > 0:41:57I hope so. I hope so.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Just need to be a little...
0:41:59 > 0:42:02less force than the last one.
0:42:02 > 0:42:03It's time to take on The Edge.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10For £2,750, for the final time...
0:42:11 > 0:42:12..let's roll.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Come on, Neil.
