0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:25Hello, and welcome to The Edge, the show where you need brains and balls.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29Today, our players will compete to roll down these big-money cash lanes.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32The nearer they roll to the edge, the more money they earn.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Stop their ball on the edge and they will get thousands.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37But go over, and they get nothing.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Let's meet the players who today are going to push themselves to the edge.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43APPLAUSE
0:00:43 > 0:00:45I'm Nicky, I am a political researcher from North London
0:00:45 > 0:00:47and I have a degree in law.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50I'm Leanne, I'm from Bristol and I teach English as a foreign language.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52I'm Ian from Bolton, I'm a salesman
0:00:52 > 0:00:54and I served in the RAF for ten years.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57I'm Katherine, I live in Altrincham, I'm a mum
0:00:57 > 0:00:58and a freelance copywriter.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00APPLAUSE
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Welcome to you all and very best of luck.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08In a moment, you will each take to the lanes to roll for big money.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10The ball you need is trapped in your podium.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12I am going to ask some questions.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Buzz in with the correct answer and you bring your ball up towards you.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Once you have freed your ball,
0:01:17 > 0:01:20you will roll down the shortest lane available.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22The shorter the lane, the bigger the edge
0:01:22 > 0:01:24and the better the odds of banking big money.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28So do well on these questions to give yourself the best advantage
0:01:28 > 0:01:31on the lanes. Three correct answers will release your ball.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34If everyone is ready, fingers on buzzers.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Which actor, who started his career as a Pontin's Bluecoat,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40plays Alfie Moon in EastEnders?
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- Ian?- Shane Richie?- Correct.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Who was the first President of United States?- Nicky?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- George Washington.- Correct.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Henry James, who was born in New York in 1843,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57is most associated with which field of the arts?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- Leanne?- Sculpture?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02That's not correct. It's literature.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05And you are frozen out of the next question.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Beginning with L, which leather shorts with H-... Ian?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Lederhosen.- Correct.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Yes, it is lederhosen that have H-shaped braces
0:02:15 > 0:02:17and traditionally worn by men in the Alpine regions.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Though I'm sure, Ian, you would look fetching in some lederhosen.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Which musical instrument was most famously
0:02:23 > 0:02:25produced by Rudolf Wurlitzer?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Ian?- The organ.- Correct.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Well done, Ian. You are rolling first on the green lane!
0:02:31 > 0:02:34APPLAUSE
0:02:37 > 0:02:38Lederhosen and organs...
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- Indeed.- ..got you here. - Specialist subject.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Well, it has earned you the shortest lane, with the biggest edge.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Hit the edge in round one and it's worth...
0:02:48 > 0:02:50£1,500!
0:02:50 > 0:02:52APPLAUSE
0:02:52 > 0:02:54You will each have one roll to earn as much as you can
0:02:54 > 0:02:57and whoever earns the least is leaving us.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00How did it go in practice on the green lane, Ian?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02It was a little bit hit and miss.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Because it is so short, sometimes it was easy to go over the edge.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07So I just need to take a bit off, I think.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12Just get on the board and then hope they muck up on the bigger lanes.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- OK. Are you ready?- Yes.- Let's roll.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- COMMENTATOR:- Good afternoon.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Ian from Bolton is first to test his rolling skills.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24It's a steady roll, it's moving up...
0:03:25 > 0:03:27And it scores you £700!
0:03:27 > 0:03:30APPLAUSE
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Steady?- Happy enough with that.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34I'm on the board and I didn't go over the edge,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36so that will do for starters.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37Three lanes still up for grabs.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41We have reset the podium, so fingers on buzzers.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43In the film Lady And The Tramp,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45what type of creatures are Lady and the Tramp? Nicky?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Dogs.- Correct.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50You have got to be quick on the buzzer, Leanne!
0:03:50 > 0:03:54What is Spain's first division football league called? Nicky?
0:03:54 > 0:03:55- La Liga.- Correct.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Nicky, you need one more correct answer to release your ball.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Who did Prince Andrew divorce in 1993? Nicky?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- Sarah Ferguson.- Correct! And you have released your ball.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06You are rolling next on the blue lane!
0:04:06 > 0:04:09APPLAUSE
0:04:11 > 0:04:14That was the Nicky show, wasn't it?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- That's how I like to do things. - Clean sweep?- Centre stage.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18SHE CHUCKLES
0:04:18 > 0:04:22Well, your stage is the blue lane, now, Nicky.
0:04:22 > 0:04:28You only need £750 to guarantee yourself entry to the next round.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31So where are you going to put your ball?
0:04:31 > 0:04:36I'm trying to get it into that 800 range.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41And not be too ambitious and end up going off the edge.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- How did it go in practice? - Quite well.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Quite well, in the green and blue lanes I was fine.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- The red one is the scary one, but I'm OK here, I think.- Nicky,
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- are you ready? - I'm ready.- Let's roll.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57'Political researcher Nicky from North London,
0:04:57 > 0:04:59'aiming for the top third of the lane.'
0:05:01 > 0:05:06Oh, it's tentative, it's maybe a bit too conservative, Nicky.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09£250.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12APPLAUSE
0:05:12 > 0:05:17- The political researcher was being a bit conservative, there.- Indeed.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20It's not usually in my nature, but... I have been here.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23It does mean, Ian, that you are through to the next round.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25APPLAUSE
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Only two lanes left. Whichever one of you releases your ball next will be
0:05:28 > 0:05:31rolling on the yellow lane. The other will be left with the red lane.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Fingers on buzzers.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37At the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC, the Persians were defeated
0:05:37 > 0:05:41by a Greek force drawn principally from which city state?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- Leanne?- Athens?- Correct.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49In January 2010 and 2011,
0:05:49 > 0:05:53which former Prime Minister gave evidence for the Iraq war enquiry?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- Katherine?- Tony Blair.- Correct.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58According to the stories by Michael Bond,
0:05:58 > 0:06:01which country is Paddington originally from?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- Leanne?- Peru.- Correct.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Leanne, one more correct answer and you release your ball.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11In which TV drama does Michael C Hall star as a vigilante serial...
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- Katherine?- Dexter.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16..serial killer. Dexter. Correct.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19You also need one more correct answer to release your ball.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Which metal is widely used
0:06:20 > 0:06:23for plating steel cans used as food containers?
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Leanne?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Aluminium. - Incorrect. Tin.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29You are frozen out of this question. Katherine, it is all yours,
0:06:29 > 0:06:31but you don't have to answer it if you don't know.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Which Russian city hosted the 2014 Winter Olympics?
0:06:36 > 0:06:37- Katherine?- Moscow?
0:06:37 > 0:06:42Incorrect. Sochi. I'm afraid you're frozen out. The next question.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43Leanne, you are back in.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45In what decade did the World Wide Web
0:06:45 > 0:06:48become available for general public use?
0:06:48 > 0:06:49- Leanne? - The '90s.- Correct.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51You have released your ball,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53you will be rolling next on the yellow lane
0:06:53 > 0:06:55and Katherine, you have been left with the red lane.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57APPLAUSE
0:07:01 > 0:07:04So, Leanne, to guarantee your place in the next round,
0:07:04 > 0:07:07you need £300 or more.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10How did it go on the yellow lane when you were practising?
0:07:10 > 0:07:15In the practice it was my best lane. But I don't want to tempt fate!
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- Let's see if it's your happy place. Are you ready?- Yes.- Let's roll.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Leanne from Bristol facing her favourite lane from practice.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28A steady roll, has it got enough legs to go past 200?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Just!
0:07:30 > 0:07:32It tips over and scores you £300!
0:07:32 > 0:07:36APPLAUSE
0:07:36 > 0:07:40So, Leanne, you are guaranteed to go through to the next round.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Nicky is made to cross his fingers, his legs
0:07:44 > 0:07:48and anything else he fancies and see what happens with Katherine's roll.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Katherine, you have been left with the red lane. To guarantee
0:07:51 > 0:07:56your place in the next round, you will need to roll £300 or more.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59You can roll more, though! You don't have to stop at 300.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02If you roll more, you will take more to the bank.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04So, where are you aiming?
0:08:04 > 0:08:09- I'm going to try to get midway, not too much, not too little.- OK.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- Shall we see how you do? I you ready?- Yes.- Let's roll.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Katherine from Altrincham on the red lane.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Only needs to pass £250 to knock out Nicky.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Oh, is it going to be enough?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Is it going to get on the cash zones?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Is it going to creep onto 100?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28It does. And 200...
0:08:28 > 0:08:31And 250 but it stops on £250!
0:08:31 > 0:08:33APPLAUSE
0:08:35 > 0:08:37So, Ian you have £700.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Leanne, you have £300.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Nicky, you have £250
0:08:41 > 0:08:43and Katherine, you have £250.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46So Ian and Leanne, you are through to the next round.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Please return to your podiums.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51APPLAUSE
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Nicky and Katherine, to decide who stays and goes, we are
0:08:54 > 0:08:57going to have a roll-off. You stay in your lanes.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59We have removed all the cash values
0:08:59 > 0:09:03and no money will be earned on this roll. You each roll once more.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Whoever is closest to their edge zone will stay. Is that clear?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14You will both roll on my command.
0:09:14 > 0:09:20So, if you are ready, in three, two, one, let's roll.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23We love a dramatic roll-off to stay in the game.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Oh, it is a big one, Nicky, it's a big roll.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29And it looks like it's too big for Katherine!
0:09:29 > 0:09:32So Nicky, you got closer to the edge, you are through to the next round.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Please return to your podium.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38APPLAUSE
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Unfortunately, Katherine, I'm afraid you are leaving here with nothing.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43Will your kids be watching this?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Yes, they will, but I'm sure they will just be pleased to have
0:09:46 > 0:09:47got the chance to watch me.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50They were just waving and pawing the television.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- And your kids are called...? - Minnie and Bertie.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- Minnie and Bertie, Mum did very well. Thanks for playing, Katherine. - Thank you.- Bye-bye.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59APPLAUSE
0:10:00 > 0:10:02It's congratulations to Nicky, Leanne and Ian.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04You are through to the next round!
0:10:04 > 0:10:07So, Nicky, tell us a bit about what your job involves.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Well, I am a political researcher.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14I work for an MP in Parliament and I write briefings, speeches,
0:10:14 > 0:10:17articles, liaise between the public and their member of Parliament.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19So you could come up with new laws, effectively?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22If your MP wanted to propose something?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24I'm not sure I could get it done all by myself, though!
0:10:24 > 0:10:26No, but the hard work goes on behind the scenes?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- Yeah, I do all the hard work(!) - LAUGHTER
0:10:29 > 0:10:31With none of the glory.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Can you see yourself becoming an MP in the future, Nicky?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I'm not that masochistic.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38So probably not.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- Why, do you think it is a really tough job?- Oh, it is.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Leanne, you teach English as a foreign language...
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- Yes, that's right.- ..to students. And what languages do they speak?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52I would say absolutely all languages.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55They come from all over the world.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Could be anywhere from Spain to Turkey to Korea, the Middle East...
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- So they are all in one class?- Yes.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02- So they haven't got a common language?- No.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05They don't speak the language that you are speaking?
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- They speak English on various levels.- Right.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Are you tempted to use a foreign word to explain something?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Do you have to stick to English? - Sometimes, because I speak Spanish.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17I used to teach in Spain
0:11:17 > 0:11:20and I was tempted just to do a bit of translation
0:11:20 > 0:11:23and that is fine when they have all got that language,
0:11:23 > 0:11:28but I don't think it's fair if I were to know the Spanish word
0:11:28 > 0:11:31and not know perhaps the Japanese word.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33What is Spanish for "The Edge"?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- El borde.- El borde?- I think. Yes.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40It might be. Now that I have said that...
0:11:40 > 0:11:43There will be people going, "No, it isn't!"
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Ian, you were in the RAF?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- I was.- What did you do? - I was an aircraft engineer.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I worked on mechanical aspects as a technician
0:11:51 > 0:11:54on various aeroplanes during my ten years.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Where were you based?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I was based at two or three bases around the UK.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03I did my training at RAF Houlton in Buckinghamshire.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I was then posted to RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire, fighter base,
0:12:06 > 0:12:09and I finished my time at RAF Brize Norton which is probably
0:12:09 > 0:12:12the most famous airbase in the UK.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15And did you get to go up and make sure they were running smoothly?
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Actually, I did.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Towards the end of my time, the TriStars that I was on,
0:12:19 > 0:12:21they had to take two engineers everywhere they went.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25So wherever the TriStars went, we had to go with them.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Which took you to far-flung corners of the world.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31And what were the top speeds you would be travelling at?
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Well, I did have a go in the back seat of a Tornado F3, once.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38It was roughly 1.5 times the speed of sound.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41So we are talking about 800mph.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- Were you fairly green when you came out?- I was very green!
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Yes, I took a number of bags up with me and they all came back...
0:12:46 > 0:12:48SHE CHUCKLES
0:12:48 > 0:12:49..with deposits in.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Thank you for that lovely thought, Ian.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- OK, well hopefully, today would be a breeze for you, then.- Yes, thank you.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Well, the money you earned is added to your personal bank.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00So, Ian, you have £700.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Leanne, you have £300.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04And Nicky, you have £250.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07But only one of you can reach today's final and play for that money.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Round two.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12And we are shutting down the shortest lane.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15And now, we are introducing danger zones.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Meaning any of the cash zones from £100 all the way up to £1,300
0:13:19 > 0:13:20could become a danger zone.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23If that happens, its value drops to zero.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25How many danger zones you face
0:13:25 > 0:13:27depends on how well you do in the questions.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Release your ball first and not only will you take the shortest lane
0:13:30 > 0:13:32with the biggest edge, but no danger zones.

0:14:56 > 0:14:57X-ray.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Incorrect, it's infrared. And you are frozen out of the next question.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04If I'm listening to the Queen song that begins with the lines,
0:15:04 > 0:15:08"I've paid my dues, time after time," which song am I listening to?
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Leanne?

0:15:17 > 0:15:20- # I've paid my dues... #- I know, I'm singing it through my head...
0:15:20 > 0:15:22You are frozen out of the next question.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Ian, you are back in the game.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27The next correct answer from either one of you will release your ball.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31What R is a religious belief that our souls are reborn after death..?

0:15:33 > 0:15:36..after death in another life form - is reincarnation, correct.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39You have released your ball. You're rolling first on the blue lane.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41APPLAUSE
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- Some very good interruptions there, Nicky.- Thank you very much.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Yeah, just had to press as quickly as you could.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53You have the blue lane here.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56It's won you the biggest edge and no danger zones.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Get your ball on the edge in this round and it is worth...
0:16:00 > 0:16:02£2,000!
0:16:02 > 0:16:04APPLAUSE
0:16:04 > 0:16:08You will each have two rolls, which will be added together.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Whoever earns the least is leaving us.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12250, last time.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14And you were a bit disappointed with that.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Yeah, I need more money in the bank.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Need to try to get up close to the 1,000 mark, I think.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Well, your destiny is in your own hands, here. Are you ready?
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Ready as I'll ever be. - Let's roll, Nicky.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29'It's a second time in the blue lane for Nicky.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31'Let's hope he has done plenty of research.'
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Definitely a bit more weight, this time.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37A steady smooth roll, it's moving up towards four figures,
0:16:37 > 0:16:39but it stops on £850!
0:16:39 > 0:16:43APPLAUSE
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- Happier?- Yeah, I'll take that. That's not bad.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48You still have one more roll in this round, Nicky.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51But there are two lanes left and we have reset the podium.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52So whichever of you releases your ball next
0:16:52 > 0:16:54will roll on the yellow lane,
0:16:54 > 0:16:56the other will be left with the red lane.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59You will both be facing danger zones. Fingers on buzzers.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Wilfred Owen's famous poem, Dulce Et Decorum Est,
0:17:05 > 0:17:07was written during which war?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- Ian?- The First World War.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Correct.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12According to the theme tune,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15where was the Fresh Prince Of Bel Air born and raised?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Ian?- Philadelphia?
0:17:19 > 0:17:21We can accept that. Specifically, West Philadelphia,
0:17:21 > 0:17:22but that is correct.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Which inland sea is the largest salt lake in the world?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Leanne?
0:17:30 > 0:17:31- The Caspian.- Correct.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37What R is a group of vertebrate animals that always have scales
0:17:37 > 0:17:39covering part or all of their bodies?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41- Ian?- Reptiles.- Correct.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45One more correct answer, Ian, and you will release your ball.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Which country occupies approximately half of South America's landmass?
0:17:49 > 0:17:50- Ian?- Brazil.- Correct.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53You have released your ball, you are rolling next on the yellow lane
0:17:53 > 0:17:55and Leanne, you have been left with the red lane.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59APPLAUSE
0:18:01 > 0:18:05- Good run of questions for you there, Ian.- I needed it.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06SHE CHUCKLES
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Well, you are going to face one danger zone on the yellow lane.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Before we roll, we need to find out where your danger zone will be.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15It is moving up and down your lane and it will stop
0:18:15 > 0:18:18when you press that button there. Best of luck.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24450. That is now gone from your lane and is replaced with zero.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27So if you land on that, it is worth nothing.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Is that a place that bothers you at all,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- or were you aiming higher than that? - I am hopefully aiming higher.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34He has raised the bar a bit, has Nicky,
0:18:34 > 0:18:36so I'm hoping to be past the 450.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39But let's get that one out of the way and let's see
0:18:39 > 0:18:41where it finishes up. Hopefully, not over the edge.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46- OK. Your first of two rolls, Ian. Are you ready?- I'm ready.- Let's roll.
0:18:47 > 0:18:53Facing a danger zone at £450, Ian is aiming high.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Smooth roll...
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Got pace, is it going to stop, though?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Is it going to stop?
0:19:00 > 0:19:01Yes!
0:19:01 > 0:19:04On £1,100!
0:19:04 > 0:19:06APPLAUSE
0:19:07 > 0:19:11That was a very strong roll, a roll that was quite determined
0:19:11 > 0:19:16- when it left your hand.- A roll that was nearly having me having kittens.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19This is the thing about the big rolls, you are risking it
0:19:19 > 0:19:22when you get close to the edge. But they deliver.
0:19:22 > 0:19:27- And that was a good roll. - Thank you.- Well done. Leanne.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30You are in the red lane. A long way back there.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33And it also means you face two danger zones.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35So, before you roll, we need to find out where they are.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37They are moving up and down your lane.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Just press your button any time you feel like it.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41And they will stop.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43And they have stopped together.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46On £650 and £600.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Anything started with a six has gone.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Yeah, that's not too bad, the fact that they are together.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56- I can try and avoid it a little bit. - Are you ready?- I am.- Let's roll.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Leanne facing double danger zones on the red lane.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Getting right down low for her delivery.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Slowly moving up towards the cash zones,
0:20:06 > 0:20:09but it's not going to reach one!
0:20:09 > 0:20:12It scores you nothing.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- You avoided the danger zones... And the cash zones!- Good(!)
0:20:17 > 0:20:19All hope is not lost.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21You have another roll, but before everyone rolls again,
0:20:21 > 0:20:23let's have a look at what you have earned so far.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Nicky, you have £850.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Ian, you have £1,100.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29And Leanne, you have nothing.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33But there are second rolls to come, and everything can change.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- It was a good roll, Nicky, is it good enough, though?- Not quite sure.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41I'm going to have to try to step it up again on this one.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- Has Ian put a bit of pressure on you there?- He has.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46That 1,100 was really impressive,
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- so I will have to see if I can one-up him.- OK, Nicky.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53If you are ready, for the second time in this round, let's roll.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59Feeling the pressure from Ian, Nicky hoping the game will swing his way.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01It's definitely got more legs on it,
0:21:01 > 0:21:03it's definitely got a little bit more pace.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Or has it?
0:21:06 > 0:21:10It stops on £850, giving you a total of £1,700!
0:21:10 > 0:21:11APPLAUSE
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Well, I thought that was going further.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17It looked like it was quicker at the beginning.
0:21:17 > 0:21:22I thought I'd get another hundred out of it, but 1,700's not bad.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Are you normally quite consistent and reliable in real life?
0:21:24 > 0:21:25LAUGHTER
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Erm, depends on who you ask!
0:21:28 > 0:21:30LAUGHTER
0:21:30 > 0:21:32I would probably say so, yeah.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Ian.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39You are £650 away from guaranteeing
0:21:39 > 0:21:41- that you have a place in the next round.- That's the aim.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44I don't want to go too far, I don't to be greedy.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46It's getting to the next round.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Can't win anything if you're sat in the audience.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50LAUGHTER
0:21:51 > 0:21:52OK, Ian.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57If you're ready for your second and final roll in this round, let's roll.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00'Flying high on the scoreboard,
0:22:00 > 0:22:03'Ian has a chance to guarantee his place in the next round.'
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Oh, it's got more legs on it. Has it got too much?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Is it going too slow down, or is it going to get up to the edge?
0:22:10 > 0:22:11It's got four figures again.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14It's in four figures, it's £1,100,
0:22:14 > 0:22:17added to your first roll gives you £2,200!
0:22:17 > 0:22:18APPLAUSE
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Another Mr Consistent.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Exactly the same roll, Ian.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26The first one had me having kittens, that one had me having puppies.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27I thought that was over the edge.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31We're going to have a menagerie in here, Ian, by the end of this show.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32And of course,
0:22:32 > 0:22:35that means you're guaranteed to be going through to the next round.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Nicky, you're going to have to wait
0:22:38 > 0:22:42and hope that Leanne...isn't able to reach the edge,
0:22:42 > 0:22:46because Leanne, that's the only way you're now going through.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50- I know.- The boys have pushed you to the edge.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51That's quite difficult, I think,
0:22:51 > 0:22:53but I'm going to try my best to get it on the edge.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54It's all I can do.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- Are you ready?- Yes.- Let's roll.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01'Leanne, facing her biggest challenge yet.'
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Needs to have some weight.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06It's got weight, it's got a chance.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11It's got a chance, it's over the danger zones, but it's slowing to...
0:23:11 > 0:23:15£800, which means your total is £800.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16APPLAUSE
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Not quite enough.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- No.- Yeah.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Well, with the two rolls added together, Nicky,
0:23:24 > 0:23:30you have £1,700, Ian, you have £2,200 and Leanne, you have £800,
0:23:30 > 0:23:33which means Nicky and Ian, you're going through to the next round.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34Please return to your podiums.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35APPLAUSE
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Unfortunately, Leanne, you earned the least amount of money in that
0:23:40 > 0:23:43round, so I'm afraid you're leaving here with nothing.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47- Good experience, though?- Yeah. - Yeah? A little...
0:23:47 > 0:23:48- Not as good as winning, though.- No.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Well, a little more experience on the rolling and we might have had
0:23:51 > 0:23:55- you in the next round, but I'm afraid it's arrivederci.- Arrivederci.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- Au revoir.- Ciao. Hasta luego.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58APPLAUSE
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Congratulations, Nicky and Ian, you're through to the next round,
0:24:03 > 0:24:07so you can tell me now a little bit about what you get up to
0:24:07 > 0:24:10in your spare time when you're not advising politicians, Nicky.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Well, I'm a sports nut. I absolutely love sports,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15spend far too much of my spare time playing or watching sports.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19I can go through all of them - football, rugby union, rugby league,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22American football, boxing, athletics, everything.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24And do you just watch these sports, or do you play?
0:24:24 > 0:24:25No, I do play as well.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28I play football, I play American football,
0:24:28 > 0:24:32I was boxing until I received an injury not long ago, so...
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- You're a busy man.- Yeah, very busy.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Ian, who's watching you at home today?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39My wife, Gail.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Been married 20...
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Better not get this wrong. 26 years.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47I've got two grown-up boys, Liam and Adam.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- Have they followed you into the RAF? - No, no.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53They're too scruffy for that. They wouldn't last.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56If you see one sight of their bedrooms, you'd understand.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Now that you're not in the RAF,
0:24:58 > 0:24:59do you not want to grow your hair long
0:24:59 > 0:25:01and wear flowery shirts and beads?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Every time that my hair does grow a little bit longer
0:25:04 > 0:25:06and starts touching my ears, I get worried.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08I start looking over my shoulder for somebody to tell me off.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11I've had it that short that long that no other hairstyle
0:25:11 > 0:25:13suits me, really.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16So far today, Ian and Nicky, you've both had one turn in being
0:25:16 > 0:25:20quickest onto the lanes, so let's see who gets there first this time.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23The money you earned is added to your personal banks,
0:25:23 > 0:25:28so Nicky, you now have £1,950, and Ian, you have £2,900.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30That money is safely locked away
0:25:30 > 0:25:34for the final, should you manage to get there. Round 3.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37And we're shutting down another lane.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39In this round, there's only one danger zone,
0:25:39 > 0:25:42and the first player to release their ball will control it
0:25:42 > 0:25:45and can place it anywhere on their opponent's lane.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47You'll need five correct answers to release your ball.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Fingers on buzzers.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Betamax is an almost entirely obsolete system for watching
0:25:53 > 0:25:54and recording what?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- Ian.- Video tapes.- Correct.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02- Still got them in the garage? - No, never had a Betamax. I was VHS.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07Which of the Queen's children rode the horse Goodwill at the Montreal...
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- Ian?- Princess Anne.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14At the Montreal Olympic Games in 1976, is Princess Anne.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15Correct.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Methanol and ethanol are two types...
0:26:19 > 0:26:20Nicky.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- Alcohol. - Two types of what substance,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26perhaps better known for its effects on people when consumed?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Alcohol is correct.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Another of your jumping in there, Nicky.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33You looked like it was a risk but you got the correct answer.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46who opposes the introduction...
0:26:46 > 0:26:48- Nicky.- Luddite.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51..of new technology. Luddite is the correct answer.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Danny DeVito voiced which Dr Seuss character in 20...
0:26:57 > 0:26:58Nicky.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- Cat In The Hat. - Time out, I'm afraid.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Danny DeVito voiced which Dr Seuss character in a 2012 film?
0:27:07 > 0:27:08The Lorax, Nicky.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11I'm afraid you're frozen out of the next question.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12Ian, the floor is yours,
0:27:12 > 0:27:14but you don't have to answer it if you don't know.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16If something is a dioxide,
0:27:16 > 0:27:20how many oxygen atoms will each of its molecules have?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- Ian.- Two.- Correct.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Back in the game, Nicky.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25And you're level.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28The fictional character Quasimodo is the bell ringer at which...
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- Nicky.- Notre Dame.- ..cathedral.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32Notre Dame is correct.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37One more correct answer, Nicky, and you will release your ball next.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40In 1936, Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev
0:27:40 > 0:27:43premiered his children's music piece Peter And The what?
0:27:43 > 0:27:45- Ian.- And The Wolf.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46Correct!
0:27:47 > 0:27:49It's neck and neck.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Whoever answers the next question correctly will release their ball.
0:27:53 > 0:27:59In 2015, Hold My Hand was a UK number one single for Jess who?
0:27:59 > 0:28:00- Nicky?- Glynne?
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Correct, it is Jess Glynne. You'll roll first on the yellow lane.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Ian, you've been left with the red lane.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06APPLAUSE
0:28:11 > 0:28:15So, that was, as we suspected, a tight contest.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Very little between you two.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21This time, if you get your ball on the edge, it's worth...
0:28:22 > 0:28:24£3,000!
0:28:24 > 0:28:25APPLAUSE
0:28:25 > 0:28:28And you've got three rolls, which will be added together.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32Whoever has the most money in this round will go through to the final.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Nicky, you'll be rolling first.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- Feeling a bit happier now that you're down there?- I am, yes.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Yeah, I'm happy, yeah.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41How are you feeling about your rolling?
0:28:41 > 0:28:44I'm OK with my rolling. I'm more concerned about Ian's rolling.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46He's been in imperious form so far,
0:28:46 > 0:28:49so pretty sure he's going to rack up some high scores here.
0:28:49 > 0:28:50So, you've got to put pressure on him.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54- You get the chance to go first. - I don't think Ian feels pressure.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Where you going to aim for, Nicky?
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Erm, let's just say...900.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- Let's go for that.- OK.
0:29:01 > 0:29:02Let's roll.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06'There's nothing in it between these two.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09'But Nicky has a chance to set the benchmark.'
0:29:09 > 0:29:11It's got more weight on it this time.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13It's moving up the board. Is it going to stop?
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Is it going to stop? Is it going to stop?
0:29:15 > 0:29:17It stopped on the edge!
0:29:17 > 0:29:20It's worth £3,000!
0:29:20 > 0:29:21APPLAUSE
0:29:26 > 0:29:28OK, right now, remember what you just did,
0:29:28 > 0:29:30cos you're going to have to do it again.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32- Can you remember?- Erm, probably not.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35I'll just bask in this moment of glory for now.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36You want us to adore you for a second.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Can we just end it now and go home?
0:29:38 > 0:29:39LAUGHTER
0:29:39 > 0:29:42You've heaped a load of pressure on him, and you control a danger zone.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45So, right now, you can make life even tougher for Ian.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49You can put a danger zone anywhere on his lane, from £100 up to £1,300.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Where you going to put it?
0:29:53 > 0:30:00- 850.- £850 on the red lane, and it's now worth zero, Ian.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02He's heaped the pressure on you.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Yeah, that's tough now, that's tough.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06I thought I had a chance back here
0:30:06 > 0:30:09if it was around about the £800-£900, but that's
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- a lot of pressure, means I'm going to have to go right to the edge.- OK.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Let's see.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- Are you ready? - I'll give it a go.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19For the first time in this round, Ian, let's roll.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24'A tremendous roll by Nicky has Ian re-evaluating his game plan.'
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Good, smooth roll. Good weight.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30It's moving up the lane.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33It's heading towards the danger zone. Is it going to stop before it?
0:30:33 > 0:30:37Yes, it is, and it's gets you £750.
0:30:37 > 0:30:38APPLAUSE
0:30:38 > 0:30:45So, after the first roll, Nicky, you have £3,000, and Ian, you have £750.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46APPLAUSE
0:30:48 > 0:30:53So, Nicky, your second roll coming up. Can you...reach the edge again?
0:30:53 > 0:30:54It's possible.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Just wanted to try to get some money,
0:30:57 > 0:30:59and then I think I'll be in a good position.
0:30:59 > 0:31:04- Well, let's see. Nicky, are you ready?- Yes, I'm ready.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06For the second time in this round, let's roll.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10'Nicky, hoping to replicate his first roll...
0:31:10 > 0:31:11'and keep the pressure on Ian.'
0:31:13 > 0:31:16It's not got quite the weight behind it this time, Nicky.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18It's one of your lower rolls.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21It's finishes on £300. It gives you £3,300!
0:31:21 > 0:31:22APPLAUSE
0:31:24 > 0:31:28- What happened there, Nicky?- Erm, I just lost my bottle, didn't I?
0:31:28 > 0:31:32- Quite weak.- You seem to either roll short or long.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Nowhere in the middle.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Not that consistent, reliable person you spoke of.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38LAUGHTER
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Maybe not.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Do you want to keep your danger zone where it is, or,
0:31:42 > 0:31:45based on what you just rolled, are you going to move it?
0:31:45 > 0:31:47What are you going to do?
0:31:47 > 0:31:50500 would be the best place for it right now.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54- You'd like to put the danger zone on 500.- Yes, please.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57OK. Let's move the danger zone to £500,
0:31:57 > 0:32:00see if that affects your rolling, Ian. Do you think it will?
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Well, if I don't get past that, I'm in trouble anyway,
0:32:03 > 0:32:06so it's not going to change my mindset.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08I'm going to be going further than that, hopefully.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12The difference at the moment is 2,550,
0:32:12 > 0:32:17so only the edge right now would put you into the lead after this roll.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21I don't think I'm going to quite get there.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Erm, I still need to stay in the game,
0:32:23 > 0:32:26so let's just put some money on the board,
0:32:26 > 0:32:30and then hopefully, he'll do the same again, not so big,
0:32:30 > 0:32:34and then it gives me a chance at least with my last roll.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36- Are you ready?- I'm ready.- Let's roll.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40'Nicky has left Ian with a glimmer of hope.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43'This is his chance to aim high and claw his way back.'
0:32:44 > 0:32:47It's a bit quick, Ian. Is it going to be too quick?
0:32:47 > 0:32:48Is it going to be too quick?
0:32:50 > 0:32:54It's over the edge, Ian, and it scores you nothing,
0:32:54 > 0:32:58which means you still have £750.
0:33:01 > 0:33:02Well, it was a gamble.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04I needed to get up there somewhere up there,
0:33:04 > 0:33:07otherwise it was never going to be.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10I've got one more go, hopefully. Depends on what he does now.
0:33:10 > 0:33:17So, after the second roll, Nicky, you have £3,300, and Ian, you have £750.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Nicky, you control your destiny now,
0:33:19 > 0:33:23because if you land on £500 or more, Ian's game is over.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27I'm tempted to try to do that, but at the same time,
0:33:27 > 0:33:30I'm thinking that I really just need to get some money on the board
0:33:30 > 0:33:35again, because the chances are Ian shouldn't land on the edge,
0:33:35 > 0:33:40so I'm just going to try to get some money, not go crazy,
0:33:40 > 0:33:42and hopefully, that should work out for me.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44OK. Let's see if it does.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Let's roll.
0:33:46 > 0:33:47'It's all in Nicky's hands.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50'A big score here can guarantee his place in the final.'
0:33:52 > 0:33:53Oh.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56It's not got a lot of legs on it.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57It's landed...
0:33:57 > 0:34:01on £100, which gives you a total of £3,400!
0:34:01 > 0:34:02APPLAUSE
0:34:05 > 0:34:07You said you would get some big sums.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10I was thinking of trying to go for 500 plus,
0:34:10 > 0:34:12but at the same time I was thinking I just need to get some
0:34:12 > 0:34:15money on the board, and the chances are Ian won't get the edge
0:34:15 > 0:34:18anyway, so that might be enough for me.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22- Right. Well, you've left the door open there now.- I have. But hey.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Well, if Ian hits the edge, he's through.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27But you have one more decision to make.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Are you going to move that danger zone?
0:34:29 > 0:34:32The danger zone is going to 1,300.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35£1,300 is now out. It is worth zero.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- Doesn't really matter, Ian. - Doesn't matter at all.
0:34:39 > 0:34:44I've got one ball and one roll and it needs to go on the edge,
0:34:44 > 0:34:45that's the permutation.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Can you do it?
0:34:48 > 0:34:53It's a big ask. It's a big ask. But I'll give it my best.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54Best of luck, Ian.
0:34:54 > 0:34:55- You ready?- I'm ready.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58Let's roll.
0:34:59 > 0:35:04'Last Chance Saloon for Ian. He has to hit the edge. It can be done.
0:35:04 > 0:35:05'I've seen it happen.'
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Looks like it's a big roll.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11Is it too big?
0:35:11 > 0:35:13It's over the edge!
0:35:13 > 0:35:15So, we add that to your previous roll,
0:35:15 > 0:35:18and it gives you a total of £750.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- You had to go for it, Ian. - Had to go for it.
0:35:23 > 0:35:24Yeah, didn't want to be short.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26If I were short I would've been more annoyed,
0:35:26 > 0:35:28so it was either the edge or nothing.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35Well, with those three rolls added together, Nicky, you have £3,400.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Ian, you have £750.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Nicky, you've taken what you've earned today through to
0:35:40 > 0:35:42today's final. Congratulations. Please return to your podium.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44APPLAUSE
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Ian, do you think the lane would've made a difference,
0:35:51 > 0:35:53- if you could've got to that yellow lane?- Jess Glynne.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Should listen to more music, shouldn't I?
0:35:55 > 0:35:57That made all the difference, really,
0:35:57 > 0:36:01and the fact that, for the first time in the game that Nicky
0:36:01 > 0:36:03managed to hit the edge, that put a lot of pressure on me.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05I still fancied my chances up till then,
0:36:05 > 0:36:09- but that kind of crushed it for me. But hey-ho.- It's a big, big roll.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12It did put a lot of pressure on you, Ian, and ironically,
0:36:12 > 0:36:16for a man from the RAF, it flew off the edge, didn't it, your ball there?
0:36:16 > 0:36:17It did. Had wings.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19LAUGHTER
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- And it's time for you to fly. Bye-bye.- Bye-bye.
0:36:21 > 0:36:22APPLAUSE
0:36:25 > 0:36:26Congratulations, Nicky.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29You've made it through to the final, where you'll be playing for all
0:36:29 > 0:36:31the money you've earned today, a total of...
0:36:33 > 0:36:34APPLAUSE
0:36:36 > 0:36:39A good sum, thanks largely to that incredible edge in the last round.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Yeah, that really helped me. That edge was incredible, definitely,
0:36:42 > 0:36:46and I wouldn't be here now without it.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Well, you've still got to take on the edge, and of course,
0:36:49 > 0:36:52you'll be hoping you can get quite a few questions right in the process.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56But Nicky, tell us what you'd do if you won that money.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59I would spend the money on my legal training.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02I want to become a lawyer, use my law degree,
0:37:02 > 0:37:06so I'll put it into that. It is very expensive.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09- So, that means you'd stop being a political researcher.- Indeed.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12Career change, and maybe add to my trainer collection as well.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14- So, your trainer collection.- Yeah.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Probably slip a few pairs of trainers in,
0:37:16 > 0:37:18along with training to be a barrister or a solicitor?
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Barrister.- Right. OK. And it's the final.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25And we're shutting down one more lane...
0:37:25 > 0:37:27which leaves only the red lane.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29We've removed the cash values from that lane, leaving only
0:37:29 > 0:37:32the edge, which is now worth all the money you've earned today.
0:37:32 > 0:37:37Stop your ball on the edge, and you'll win £5350.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39APPLAUSE
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Go over the edge, and you get nothing.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43But you have a chance to make it easier for yourself
0:37:43 > 0:37:45by answering some more questions.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Each correct answer increases the size of your Edge.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50The more questions you get right, the bigger the edge
0:37:50 > 0:37:53and the easier your roll.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56You'll have 75 seconds to get as many right as you can.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Let's put 75 seconds on the clock, and your time will start
0:37:59 > 0:38:01when I've read the first question.

0:39:22 > 0:39:26Incredible round, Nicky. You answered 11 questions correctly.

0:39:32 > 0:39:33APPLAUSE
0:39:38 > 0:39:41That was a fantastic effort there, Nicky, and you gave me every
0:39:41 > 0:39:45answer looking slightly quizzical, as if you weren't quite sure.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49Yeah, that tends to be my style. I almost ask the answer.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51But it worked out well, so...
0:39:51 > 0:39:55Well, every one of you correct answers increases
0:39:55 > 0:39:58the size of your edge. So, let's put them on your lane.

0:40:20 > 0:40:22How confident are you of hitting it?
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Semi-confident. I'm just going to go for it and see what happens.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27No pressure on now.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31You've got a choice to make, because you can roll for the full amount
0:40:31 > 0:40:35with one ball, £5,350,
0:40:35 > 0:40:37but only one attempt to hit the edge.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Or you could take two balls, but that means you'll say goodbye
0:40:40 > 0:40:43to half the money and roll for £2,675.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47Or you could take three balls, that's three attempts to hit the edge,

0:40:52 > 0:40:55So, what are you thinking? Where...
