Episode 8 The Edge

APPLAUSE

Hello, I'm Mark Benton

and welcome to the quiz show that's 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

Hello, my name's Katie, I'm from Chester,

I used to be in the Navy, but now I'm a paediatric nurse.

Hello, I'm Gary.

I'm an events manager and part-time DJ from Southwest London.

Hi, I'm Michelle

and I work in the education department of Bradford Council.

I believe in the law of attraction

and I'm definitely going to win today.

Hi, I'm Charlie from Glasgow, now living in Newcastle.

I work in an academy, and I'm a support counsellor.

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 a series of questions.

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

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

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

So, the best brains get the best lanes.

Fingers on buzzers.

and David Gandy are famous. Gary.

Name the famous shape of the official office

of the President of the United... Gary.

-Oval.

-That's correct. The President of the United Sates.

Gary, that means you release your ball first.

APPLAUSE

So, you get first choice of lane.

Now, the shortest lane rolls first.

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

You've all tried the lanes before the show,

so the question is, which one would you like?

See, when we had a little bit of a practice earlier,

I was...believe it or not, I think I was worse on the shortest lane.

So, I don't think I'm going to go for the first lane.

And it would be quite nice to see somebody else have a go before me,

so I think I'm going to go for the blue lane.

-The blue lane.

-Yeah.

Well, Gary, that means you'll be rolling second on the blue lane.

APPLAUSE

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

Fingers on buzzers.

falls asleep for 20 years.

Charlie.

-Rip Van Winkle.

-That's correct, Charlie, it was Rip Van Winkle.

-APPLAUSE

-Who's the daddy?!

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

Green, yellow or red?

It's a difficult choice.

I think I'll go for yellow.

Yellow. Why yellow?

Well, again, I'd like to see somebody go just before me,

see what I need to beat.

-Ease you in gently.

-That's it.

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

APPLAUSE

Only two lanes left.

Fingers on buzzers.

Name the 1985 film starring Rosanna Arquette and Madonna.

Katie.

It's not My Girl, is it? My Girl?

It's not. It's Desperately Seeking Susan.

Michelle, only buzz in if you know the answer.

Heel.

That's correct!

Katie, you're back in play.

-That's correct, it was 443. Well worked out.

Michelle, you're back in play.

Give the number of men that marched onto the top of the hill

in the nursery rhyme The Grand Old Duke Of York.

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

Name the word beginning with P used in maths to describe to lines...

Katie.

Pi.

No, I'm sorry it was "parallel".

Describe two lines that have the gradient.

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

Name the tennis player famous for saying, "You cannot be serious!"

LAUGHTER

Even after me impression? Michelle?

Serena Williams?

No, it wasn't!

-LAUGHTER

-Was my impression that bad, there?

It was John McEnroe, I'm afraid.

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

Katie, you're back in play.

Name the US state nicknamed "The Empire State".

Katie.

-New York.

-That's correct, Katie, it was New York!

-Yes!

APPLAUSE

You've released your ball third,

that means you get next choice of lane.

Two remain.

You can have green or red.

One extreme to the other.

I think I'm going to play safe and go with green.

So you'll be setting the target to beat, you happy about that?

-Yes.

-Katie, you'll roll first on the green lane.

APPLAUSE

OK, Michelle, that means you're left with the red lane.

How do you feel about that?

I'm gutted but I'm going to get through to the next round,

I've got to.

Well, Michelle, you'll be rolling 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.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

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.

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.

Now the shortest lane rolls first

and will be setting the score to beat.

-So that's you, Katie.

-It certainly is.

You've got to set the score to beat, are you happy about that?

Yeah, I think so.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

Keep going, keep going!

Katie, that roll scores you £450.

-Let's put that on the board!

-APPLAUSE

Do you know what, I've never seen that technique before.

-First time for everything.

-So you're happy with that?

Yeah, that's middle of the road, I'm happy with that.

Gary, if you score £500 or more,

you're going to guarantee yourself a place in the next round.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

So looking for £500 or more.

-Oh! Yes, passed 500.

-Come on!

-This is looking good!

-Well done, Gary!

-APPLAUSE

That scores you £850, let's put that on the board!

Great roll and more importantly that puts you through to the next round.

-Phew!

-Yes.

-Relief!

So, Charlie, you too have to score £500 or more

to guarantee yourself a place in the next round.

Pressure's on but I'm going to try, Mark.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

We're off. Oh, it's quite fast.

Is it going to slow down in time?

That roll scores you nothing.

-You went over the edge!

-Lost the edge.

-What happened? Nerves?

-Yeah, just a little bit too hard.

-Don't know my own strength. Too much porridge, Mark.

-Oh, yes.

-Katie, that's the reprieve you were looking for.

-Yeah.

That means you're through to the next round.

So, Charlie, all you can hope now is that Michelle goes over the edge.

Michelle, all you need to do is keep it on the lane

and you'll be through to the next round.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

We're off and running.

Ooh, is it going to get out of the £1 zone?

It's not going to get out the £1 zone but we don't mind.

That roll scores you £1, let's put that on the board!

APPLAUSE I'm through!

So at the end of the rolls...

Katie, you have £450.

Gary, you have £850.

Michelle, you have £1.

And, Charlie, you have nothing.

So Katie, Gary, Michelle, that means you're through to the next round,

please return to the podiums.

APPLAUSE

Charlie, unfortunately you earned the least amount of money

in that round so that means you'll be leaving here with nothing.

Yeah. Well, I've had a good day. I've enjoyed it.

Charlie, everybody!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Katie, Gary, Michelle, congratulations!

You're through to the next round.

Katie, you used to be in the Navy.

-I certainly did, Mark, yes.

-So what did you do?

-I did communications.

-So they're big, them ships.

-Yeah, they're massive.

Is it like a relaxing cruise on a cruise ship, is it?

No, I got really seasick.

The entire ship leaves and slams down in the water and I was always sick.

-So you were in the Navy and you were seasick.

-Yes, very.

-OK!

LAUGHTER

So, Gary, you're an events manager. How did you become one of them?

I am. Mostly by accident to be honest with you, Mark.

I went to university, was studying my course,

-I thought, "Maybe I'll do something else."

-Yeah.

Got myself a job behind the bar

and basically myself and the bar manager,

we saw this comedy band that we really liked and really wanted them

to play at our uni so I just decided to put on an event for them.

So it just kind of all stemmed from there really,

it was mainly just me wanting to see a band.

-So have you put any big events on, then?

-Yeah, yeah.

It's sort of grown really from there so we put on summer balls,

-we go to festivals.

-Oh, fantastic.

-Big conferences.

-You enjoy it?

-Oh, it's great fun. Great fun, love the pressure.

-Excellent.

So, Michelle, tell me about these laws of attraction.

Well, basically, it's quite simple, it's just like attracts like.

-So all the thoughts that you harness in your mind...

-Yeah.

..if you're thinking positive things

then you're drawing more positive thoughts.

If you're feeling happy you're drawing more happiness into your life

and good things but if you're feeling negative, you're feeling sad

and you're thinking negative thoughts,

you're just tripling them in your life.

How you going to use that on the lanes?

Well, I'm just meditating

and I can picture myself winning the money and going, "Yeah!"

Cos I've never seen anyone celebrate £1 as much as you did.

Fantastic.

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

So, Katie, you have £450.

Gary, you have £850.

And, Michelle, you have £1.

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 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 songs traditionally sung

before each year's Wembley FA Cup Final.

Gary.

God Save The Queen and Abide With Me.

Correct.

Name the male and female stars of the 1964 film musical Mary Poppins.

Gary.

Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke.

That's correct.

Name the two Labour politicians who have served

as Chancellor of the Exchequer during the 21st century.

-Gary.

-Alistair Darling and Gordon Brown.

That's right, it was.

So, Gary, one more correct answer,

you get first choice of lane and no danger zones.

Name the two films for which Tom Hanks

has received a Best Actor Oscar.

Gary.

Forrest Gump and Philadelphia.

That's correct, Gary, well done.

APPLAUSE

You've released your ball first

which means you'll face no danger zones.

Now, which lane would you like? You've got blue, yellow or red.

Well, it served me really well last time

so I'm going to stay loyal to the blue lane I think.

-Ah, a creature of habit.

-I'm a creature of habit, yeah.

Gary, you'll roll first on the blue lane.

APPLAUSE

Only two lanes left.

Fingers on buzzers.

Name the two words used by sailors to identify

-the left and right sides of a...

-BUZZER

-Katie.

-Starboard and port.

If you didn't get that I'd have been upset.

It was starboard and port. The left and right sides of a vessel.

Name the letters you are said to dot and cross...

-Katie.

-I's and T's.

That's right. ..when paying attention to detail.

Name the two southern English counties

where you will find the Jurassic Coast.

-Katie.

-Devon and Cornwall.

It was close, it was Devon and Dorset.

I'm sorry, you're frozen out for the next question.

Give the English translations of the French pleasantries

"s'il vous plait" and "merci".

-Michelle.

-Thank you and please.

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

Which two drinks are used to make a G & T?

-Katie.

-Gin and tonic.

That's correct.

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

Name the two animals whose race saw the slowest creature

win in one of Aesop's Fables.

-Michelle.

-Hare and tortoise.

That's correct.

Name the two shapes that are seven and eight-sided polygons.

-Michelle.

-Septagon and an octagon.

That's correct.

So, Michelle, that means both you and Katie just need one more

-correct answer to get next choice of lane.

-The pressure!

Name the two metals that combine to make the alloy brass.

-Katie.

-Copper and nickel.

So close. It was copper and zinc.

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

Name the two words that make up the major film studio abbreviation WB.

-Michelle.

-Warner Brothers.

That's right, Michelle, it was Warner Brothers.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-Did you attract that to you? That answer?

-Yes, I did.

You've released your ball second

which means you'll face one danger zone.

Now, which lane would you like?

You've got a choice of yellow and red.

-Yellow.

-Why yellow?

-I've got to make up for that £1.

-Got to build on it.

-Yes.

Well, Michelle, you'll roll second on the yellow lane.

APPLAUSE

OK, Katie, you've been left with the red lane

and those two danger zones but you're still smiling.

-Of course.

-Of course.

Katie, you'll roll third on the red lane.

APPLAUSE

Katie, Gary, Michelle, it's time to take to the lane!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

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

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

£2,000.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

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 bank.

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

Gary, you're rolling first down the blue lane

and you'll face no danger zones.

So last time you were on this lane, you scored 850

so you've set yourself a target there, haven't you?

Yeah, I think I've probably peaked a bit early there, Mark, to be honest.

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

Let's roll.

Oh, it's losing pace, this one.

Oh!

Go on, go on!

Gary, that roll scores you £400, let's get that on the board.

APPLAUSE

Not quite as high as last time.

No, I've got to try and improve on that I think.

Well, Michelle, you'll be rolling down the yellow lane

and you'll face one danger zone. Now before you roll,

we need to find out where that danger zone will be.

It's running up and down your lane,

it'll stop when you press that button.

So, Michelle, £450 has gone from your lane to be replaced by just £1.

What do you think?

It's right in the middle. I can still do it. I can still do it.

-Excellent. Positive thinking!

-Yes.

-I like it.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

Oh, it's getting close to that danger zone.

Go past it! Yes!

Well done, Michelle, that roll scores you £550,

let's put that on the board!

APPLAUSE

You did exactly what you said you were going to do.

I did it, I did it.

Katie, you have the red lane and two danger zones.

They're running up and down the lane,

they'll stop when you press that button.

So that's £100 and £550 that have disappeared from your lane

to be replaced by just £1.

How do you feel about that?

I was hoping for them to be a bit closer to the edge

but I've avoided danger zones for four years in the Navy

-so I can do it again.

-Excellent.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

Avoid those danger zones.

Oh, this is quite fast. This is looking good. Passed one of them.

Go on, pass the next! And...

-Yes!

-Well done, Katie!

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

That roll scores you £800, let's put that on the board.

Fantastic work, so your technique's working for you, isn't it?

How did you discover that kneeling down was going to work for you?

-Stable base.

-Ah, I see.

-LAUGHTER

Well, after the first roll, Gary, you have £400.

Michelle, £550.

And Katie, £800.

So, Gary, this means you have to score at least £150

to have any chance of going through to the next round.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

£150 or more.

Is it too fast?

Slow down! Oh, this is looking good!

Slow down!

-Yes! Well done, Gary!

-APPLAUSE

-Fantastic!

-Come on!

Gary, you hit the edge,

which, in this round, is worth £2,000!

That is amazing!

Well done. That gives you a total,

after two rolls, of £2,400!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

How do you feel about that?

Never in a million years did I think I'd get anywhere close to it,

so I'm absolutely ecstatic.

-I'm loving that.

-Brilliant. Well done, you, that's fantastic.

Michelle, you have to score at least £250

to have any chance of going through.

That Danger Zone's still there so please avoid it.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

Let's see if the laws of attraction can work this time.

Get past that Danger Zone.

Yes.

And that roll scores you £550.

Let's add that to your first roll.

So that gives you a total of £1,100.

Are you happy with that?

You are.

So, Katie, that means if you score £350 or more

you're going to guarantee yourself a place in the next round.

Still got the two Danger Zones to contend with.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

We're off and rolling.

Is it strong enough?

It's very gentle.

Oh, Katie.

It was too gentle. That roll scores you £1. Let's put that on the board.

Gives you a total of £801. What happened?

I was just playing it too safe.

With the two rolls added together -

Gary, you scored £2,400.

Michelle, £1,100.

Katie, £801.

That means, Gary, Michelle, you're through to the next round.

Please return to the podiums.

APPLAUSE

-Well done.

-Katie, unfortunately you earned the least amount of money

in that round so that means you're leaving here with nothing.

-Have you enjoyed yourself?

-I've had a fantastic day, thank you, yes.

Katie, everybody!

APPLAUSE

Gary, Michelle, well done, you're through to the next round.

The money you earned is added to your personal bank.

So, Gary, you now have £3,250.

Michelle you have £1,101.

That money is safely banked for you, should you reach the final.

Round Three.

We're shutting down another lane.

In this round there's only one Danger Zone.

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

Danger Zone and can place it anywhere on their opponent's lane.

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

The questions now require not two but three correct answers.

Fingers on buzzers.

Name the three words represented by the words YSL in the name of -

-Gary?

-Yves Saint Laurent.

-That's correct.

..in the name of the designer fashion label.

Name the three letters from the Nato phonetic alphabet you would use

to spell the word "her."

Gary.

-Hotel, Echo, Romeo.

-Correct.

Name the three most populated cities in Germany.

-Gary.

-Berlin, Munich, and...Frankfurt.

Oh, so close.

You got the first two but you didn't get Hamburg, I'm afraid.

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

Name the three most recent US Presidents

who haven't had a direct relation to also hold the office.

-Michelle.

-Barack Obama.

Erm...Bill Clinton.

And George Bush.

Oh, so close. It was Ronald Reagan, not Bush, I'm afraid.

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

Gary, you're back in play.

Name the three pink properties on a traditional London Monopoly board.

-Gary.

-Northumberland Avenue.

-Whitehall and Pall Mall.

-Correct.

Michelle, you're back in play.

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

Name the first three multiples of 8 after 8 itself.

-Michelle.

-16. 24.

-And...32.

-That's correct.

Name the three words that represent the electronic component

abbreviation LED.

-Gary.

-Light emitting diode.

-It was, Gary, well done!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

You've released your ball first, 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 Michelle's lane,

making it as difficult as possible for her. Oh, yes.

HE LAUGHS EVILLY

So, which lane would you like, yellow or red?

I'm sort of tempted to maybe try out the red, but I think I'm going to

just go with the yellow.

OK, Gary, you'll be rolling first on the yellow lane.

APPLAUSE

Michelle, you've been left with the red lane. How do you feel?

I've been there before.

I can do it again.

Michelle, you'll roll second on the red lane.

OK, Gary, Michelle, it's time to take to the lanes.

CHEERING AND 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...

£,3000.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

But go over the edge and you get nothing.

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

The rolls will be added together

and one of you will be taking the money earned through to the final.

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

Gary, you'll roll first.

-So you've basically had the choice of lane every round so far.

-Yeah.

It feels a lot further away this time, though.

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

Let's roll.

Are we going to see another edge?

Is this too fast? Slow down, slow down.

Oh, this is looking good.

AUDIENCE GROANS

What you trying to do to me?

Just rolled off the edge there,

so that means that roll scores you nothing.

Gary, you now control a Danger Zone

and can put it anywhere on Michelle's lane from £10 up to £950.

Where would you like to put it?

I think the safest place to play it would be in the middle somewhere.

500.

So £500 has gone from your lane,

and it's replaced by just £1.

So let's see what that Danger Zone does to your roll, Michelle.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

Any amount will put you into the lead.

Oh, this is very fast.

Think it's too fast.

Oh!

AUDIENCE GROANS

Michelle, that roll scores you nothing.

-Did that Danger Zone put you off there?

-It did.

So, Gary, that means everything is still up for grabs.

You've hit the edge and you've gone over the edge.

What do you want to do this time?

I'm going to hopefully sort of get it in the sort of final third of it,

I would hope.

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

Let's roll.

I think this is going to stay on the lane.

Is it going to get out the £1 zone?

-Oh, no.

-Yeah, keep going.

Gary, that roll scored you £50. Let's put that on the board!

Do you know what? It may be £50 but it's better than your first roll.

-True, true.

-Gary, you now have a choice.

Do you want to keep that Danger Zone where it is or,

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

I think...because I've gotten such a low score then, I think

Michelle might want to sort of play it a bit safer,

so I'm going to move it down to 400.

He's a meanie, isn't he?

Thought we were friends, Gary! Hello!

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

Let's roll.

So 50 the target to beat at the moment.

This is slowing down. Is it going to get out the £1 zone?

Michelle!

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

APPLAUSE

After the second roll - Gary, you have £50,

Michelle, just £1.

It's a close round. It's a big scoring round(!)

Gary, that was your second reprieve.

-I'm a lucky boy.

-It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

Need a good score now, Gary.

Has it got enough pace?

Keep going, keep going.

Gary, that roll scores you £300.

Let's add that to your other rolls.

So that gives you a total, after three rolls, of £350.

Are you happy with that?

I think going over the edge that first time scared me

a little bit and I've played it too safe.

Gary, do you want to keep that Danger Zone where it is,

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

I'm going to leave it where it is.

OK, let's leave that Danger Zone where it is.

Michelle, you need to roll 350

or more to guarantee yourself a place in the final.

It's time to take on The Edge.

Let's roll.

We're looking for £350 or more.

Is this too fast?

AUDIENCE GROANS

Michelle, that roll scores you nothing, I'm afraid.

What happened, Michelle?

Just too much positive.

With the three rolls added together -

Gary, you have £350.

Michelle, you have £1.

Which means, Gary, you're through to today's final.

Please return to podium.

APPLAUSE

Michelle, unfortunately you earned the least amount of money

in that round, which means you'll be leaving here with nothing.

-I've had a great time.

-All those positive vibes, I love it.

Michelle, everybody!

APPLAUSE

Congratulations, Gary. You've made it through to the final

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

a total of £3,600.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

If you win, what are you going to do with the money?

Well, my brother and I decided to make a pact that we wanted to

do a skydive.

So I think if I won the money I think I'd treat him to a decent skydive.

And maybe we'll do it in a foreign country where it's a bit more exotic.

-I don't know if I could do that.

-What can I say?

I like living on the edge.

AUDIENCE GROANS

-I like it.

-Love it.

-He can come again.

It's the final...

and we're shutting down one more lane.

Which leaves only the red lane.

We've removed the cash values from that lane, leaving only The Edge,

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

Stop your ball on the edge in the final and you'll win £3,600.

But go over the edge and you'll get nothing.

But you have a chance to make it easier for yourself

by answering some more questions.

Each correct answer increases the size of the edge.

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

and the easier your final roll.

Each question now requires not three but four correct answers.

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

Let's put 75 seconds on the clock.

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

Name the four words that each of the letters

stand for in the nature charity abbreviation RSBP.

-Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.

-That's correct.

Give the first names of the four judges on the original

series of Strictly Come Dancing.

Craig, Arlene, Len and Bruno.

That's right. Name the four letters on the number nine button

of a standard telephone keypad.

Er...

-W-X-Y-Z.

-That's correct.

Name four European countries that begin with the letter A.

Andorra, Albania,

Aza...no.

Austria.

-And... Um...

-You can pass it.

Pass.

Name the four types of mammal that escape a zoo

in the animated film Madagascar.

Giraffe, lion, hippo and...penguin.

Oh, no, I'm sorry, that's wrong.

Give four first names of the members of Girls Aloud.

Nadine, Cheryl,

-Sarah and...Nicola.

-Correct.

Name the four lowest value UK coins in circulation.

-1p, 2p, 5p, 10p.

-That's correct.

Name four creatures preserved in formaldehyde by artist Damien Hirst.

-A cow, a chicken, a pig and a sheep.

-Correct.

Congratulations, Gary, you answered six correctly.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Here are the ones you missed.

European countries that begin with A - you got Albania, Andorra,

Austria, and you almost said Azerbaijan -

you should have, it was right.

Name the four types of mammal that escape a zoo in Madagascar.

You got lion, giraffe and hippopotamus but you said penguin.

That's a bird.

We needed zebra. So you got six correct.

To see what that score has done to The Edge,

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

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

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

That's one, two, three,

four, five, six.

AUDIENCE: Whoo!

That's your final edge, Gary. Are you confident?

I think I've given myself the best chance I could probably give myself.

So, gotta remain positive.

Channel a bit of Michelle from the previous round and get in that zone.

You now have a choice to make.

You can roll for the full £3,600 with only one ball

and one attempt to hit the edge.

Or you can take two balls

but that means you'll roll for only half the money - £1,800.

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 - £1,200.

How many rolls would you like?

I think £1,200 is a lot of money.

And I'd be tempted to go for three.

But I think I'm going to give it a try and try and go for two.

So you're giving yourself two chances to win £1,800.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Good luck, mate.

-Thank you.

It's time to take on The Edge.

For £1,800...

let's roll.

Come on, you.

We're off.

Is it fast enough?

It's looking a little bit slow.

-OK.

-Well...

You've used the first of your two rolls.

But you set yourself a good target. Should give you an idea now.

-Just go a bit stronger.

-Yeah. Little bit more.

It's time to take on The Edge.

For £1,800, for the final time,

let's roll.

Come on, Gary, let's hit the edge.

Keep going!

Oh, I've got a good feeling here.

Keep going, keep going! Come on, come on!

Yes? No!

APPLAUSE

-I'm so sorry. That was so close.

-I know, I know.

It's... It's... It seems so easy but it's not, it's really hard.

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

you're going home empty-handed.

Oh...

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

pushing themselves to The Edge.

Why? Because that's how we roll. Goodbye.

APPLAUSE
