0:00:18 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 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 > 0:00:35Stop their ball on the edge and they will get thousands.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37But go over and they get nothing.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Let's meet the players who, today,
0:00:39 > 0:00:41are going to push themselves to the edge.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43APPLAUSE
0:00:43 > 0:00:45I'm Mel and I'm from Southampton.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47I'm a ride operator at a theme park
0:00:47 > 0:00:50and I like to give everything I do my best shot.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51I'm Hamish from Bath
0:00:51 > 0:00:56and I run one of the oldest private gentleman's clubs outside of London.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57I'm Clare from Wolverhampton.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59I work for the Department of Work and Pensions
0:00:59 > 0:01:02and if I win any money today I would like to go on a honeymoon.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03I'm Bruce from Bishop's Stortford.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06I'm a telecoms engineer and I like watching quiz shows with my nan.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07APPLAUSE
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Welcome to you all and very best of luck.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15In a moment, you will each take to the lanes to roll for big money.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17The ball you need is trapped in your podium.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21I'm going to ask you some questions. Buzz in with the correct answer
0:01:21 > 0:01:22and you'll bring up your ball towards you.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Once you have freed you ball,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27you will roll down the shortest lane available.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30The shorter the lane, the bigger the edge
0:01:30 > 0:01:33and the better the odds of banking big money.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36So, do well on these questions to give yourself the very best
0:01:36 > 0:01:37advantage on the lanes.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Three correct answers will release your ball,
0:01:39 > 0:01:42so if everyone is ready, fingers on buzzers.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48Which American state is the only one to begin with the letter G?
0:01:48 > 0:01:49- Mel.- Georgia.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Correct.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56If I've just achieved a tennis Grand Slam, how many individual titles...
0:01:56 > 0:01:57- Hamish.- Four.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59I would've won four. Correct.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05Which animal has breeds including Tamworth, Gloucestershire...
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- Mel.- Pigs.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Indeed. Pigs are Tamworth and Gloucestershire Old Spot.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Which former England football manager is also
0:02:13 > 0:02:15the ex-boyfriend of Nancy Dell'Olio?
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- Hamish.- Sven Eriksson.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Sven-Goran Eriksson is correct.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Which American rock musician was born Marvin Lee Aday?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Hamish.- Bruce Springsteen.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Incorrect. It was Meat Loaf.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33So, I'm afraid you're frozen out of the next question.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37What is the name of the donkey in the Winnie The Pooh series?
0:02:37 > 0:02:38- Mel.- Eeyore.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Indeed. Correct, Mel and you have released your ball.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43You are rolling first on the green lane.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44APPLAUSE
0:02:49 > 0:02:51So, Mel. Pigs and donkeys got you here.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52LAUGHTER
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Obviously, animal knowledge is a thing.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Well, you are here on the green lane.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59The shortest lane, of course, the green lane, but with the biggest
0:02:59 > 0:03:03edge and hit the edge in this round, Mel, and it is worth
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- £1,500.- Wow.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08APPLAUSE
0:03:08 > 0:03:10You'll each have one roll to earn as much as you can.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Whoever earns the least is leaving us.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16So, Mel, how did it go in practice on the green lane?
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Erm...
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- ..ish. - OK.- Variable.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Right, and was that just this lane or was it variable...?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- No, it was all of them. - Oh, OK.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28If you're ready, Mel, let's roll.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29'Well, good afternoon, everyone.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31'First up on the green lane is Mel,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33'the theme park ride operator from Southampton.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37'Right down low on one knee and a big swinging action.'
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Good weight.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43And it scores you £900.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46APPLAUSE
0:03:46 > 0:03:47Not so bad.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I like the technique, Mel.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- It looks like something you may have worked on.- No, no, no.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53It's just to stop me from falling over.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56LAUGHTER Well, three lanes still up for grabs.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59We have reset the podiums, so fingers on buzzers.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04In 1492, who commanded an expedition using the ships known as
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria?

0:04:09 > 0:04:10Correct.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Which band performed the title track to the Bond film, Live And Let Die?
0:04:17 > 0:04:18- Hamish.- Wings.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Correct.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25One more, Hamish, and you will release your ball.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Which group of islands in the Indian Ocean has the smallest
0:04:27 > 0:04:30population of any African state?
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- Hamish.- Maldives.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Incorrect. It's the Seychelles.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- You're frozen out of the next question.- Yep.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39A chance for Clare and Bruce to get into the game here.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44What force beginning with M makes a compass point north?
0:04:44 > 0:04:45- Bruce.- Magnetic.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Magnetism. Magnetic, I will accept. Correct, Bruce.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- Welcome to the game, Bruce. - Thank you.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55In 2015, the Royal Mint launched a £5 limited edition coin

0:05:00 > 0:05:01- Clare.- Prince George.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Correct. Prince George.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04You are off and running.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Which celebrity won the first series of Strictly Come Dancing?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11- Claire.- Alesha Dixon.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14No. Incorrect. It was Natasha Kaplinsky.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Alesha was in the year I did it, actually.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18But for Alesha, I would've won Strictly.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20LAUGHTER
0:05:20 > 0:05:23You're frozen out of the next question.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26In 1995, Paul Flynn allegedly described which fellow
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Labour MP as the Prince of Darkness?
0:05:30 > 0:05:31- Hamish.- Mandelson.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Peter Mandelson. Correct.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Hamish, you've released your ball. You're rolling next on the blue lane.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37APPLAUSE
0:05:42 > 0:05:45So, Hamish, to guarantee your place in the next round you need
0:05:45 > 0:05:47to roll £950 or more.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52Of course, the edge is a fairly decent size there on the blue lane.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Worth £1,500.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- What are you thinking? - I just want to get on there.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Erm, yeah, hoping to get,
0:05:59 > 0:06:01to come up towards 900.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Yeah? And how was it going in practice?
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Awful.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05LAUGHTER
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Got rid of all the bad shots.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Hamish, if you are ready, let's roll.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13'£900 guarantees his place in the next round.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16'Bending from the waist, we have southpaw Hamish from Bath.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Left-handed roll and it's
0:06:22 > 0:06:26crept up the board and it's scored you £550.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28APPLAUSE
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Well, I think Mel will be happy
0:06:30 > 0:06:34because that guarantees that you are through, Mel, to the next round.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Only two lanes left and whichever of you releases your ball next
0:06:39 > 0:06:42will roll on the yellow lane. The other will be left with the red lane.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Fingers on buzzers.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47In its original run, which Andrew Lloyd Webber musical starred
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Michael Crawford as a man with his face half covered?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Bruce.- Phantom of the Opera.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Correct.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59The Clash, T Rex and Fergie have all had UK top 40 singles which
0:06:59 > 0:07:02include the name of which city in their titles?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Clare.- London.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Correct.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09What is the square root of 49?
0:07:10 > 0:07:11- Clare.- Seven.- Correct.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Clare, you need one more correct answer to release your ball.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19What G is a Spanish cold soup that often contains tomatoes, olive...
0:07:19 > 0:07:20- Clare.- Gazpacho.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23That's right. Gazpacho is made up those ingredients plus olive oil,
0:07:23 > 0:07:26peppers and breadcrumbs. And congratulations.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28You're running next on the yellow lane.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Bruce, you've been left with the red lane.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32APPLAUSE
0:07:37 > 0:07:42- So, Clare, gazpacho soup got you there.- Yep. Never had it.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Just knew that's that what it was.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Oh, well, that's good knowledge.
0:07:45 > 0:07:51And to guarantee your place in the next round, you need £600 or more.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54What does £600 look like from there?
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Distant.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57LAUGHTER
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- I think I can do it, though. I think I can do it.- Let's do it, Clare.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Let's roll.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04'Clare from Wolverhampton wants some prize money today
0:08:04 > 0:08:05'for her honeymoon.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06'So, best of luck.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- 'She's down nice and low.' - It's big.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Too big. It got a big weight and it's heading towards the edge.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Oh!
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Clare.- Never mind.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Clare, that roll scores you nothing.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Well, Clare, your only hope now is
0:08:26 > 0:08:30if Bruce fails to reach a cash zone or goes over the edge.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32You've got the red lane, Bruce,
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- which is a long way. - It is a long way, yes.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- What are you thinking now? - I didn't do too bad in practice,
0:08:38 > 0:08:41so I'm feeling quite confident on it.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Well, to guarantee your place in the next round,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46you simply need to roll onto the cash zones.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48£100 will do but, of course, you want to bank something.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- I want more than that.- Yeah.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53You want to bank something fairly decent to take through the round.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54So, what are you thinking?
0:08:54 > 0:08:57I was quite comfortable getting it sort of around the 1,000 mark
0:08:57 > 0:08:59so I'm going to see if I can aim for that again.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Good ambition. If you're ready, Bruce, let's roll.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06'Bruce's nan will be watching at home in Watford.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08'Hi, Nan.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10'Any cash zone and Bruce is through.'
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Decent weight. Is it going too slow down for you? Is it going too slow?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17It is. It is, you know, Bruce.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21APPLAUSE That roll scored you £1,200.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26So, at the end of the rolls,
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Mel has £900, Hamish has £550,
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Bruce has £1,200
0:09:32 > 0:09:34and Clare has nothing.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37So, Mel, Hamish and Bruce, you're through to the next round.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38Return to your podiums.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40APPLAUSE
0:09:42 > 0:09:43Oh, Clare.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- That was such hard luck. - Yeah.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49And the honeymoon, now, what's going to happen?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Just going to have to stick with what we did in the first place,
0:09:51 > 0:09:54which was a day at a castle.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55That'll do.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Oh, well, I hope you've had a good day here, Clare,
0:09:57 > 0:10:00because, unfortunately, you earned the least amount of money
0:10:00 > 0:10:02so I'm afraid you're leaving with nothing.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Thanks for playing. Goodbye.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05APPLAUSE
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Congratulations, Mel, Hamish and Bruce.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12You're through to the next round, which gives me a chance to find
0:10:12 > 0:10:16out a little bit more, Mel, about the rides that you work on.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- Sounds like great fun.- It is good fun and it's great working with...
0:10:18 > 0:10:22I work at a park where they cater for little tiddlies up to,
0:10:22 > 0:10:26sort of, teenagers. It's brilliant working with the little tinies.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- But they're not too scary, not harum scarum?- No, no, no.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33- Sort of beginner and intermediate. - And you never, never get tired of it?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36No. When they come in and their faces light up
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- and they just get so excited and I can make that happen.- Aw.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- Magical job. Hamish.- Yeah.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- You run a gentleman's club.- Yes.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- Does that mean I can't join? - Erm, no, you can't.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Your husband could, with the greatest of pleasure,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54and he'd be allowed to sign you in as a guest
0:10:54 > 0:10:56but, no, you're not allowed to be a member.
0:10:56 > 0:11:01I didn't even know that was still allowed, that was still legal.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Yeah, apparently so.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05It's one of the oldest clubs outside of London.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09There's obviously a couple of London clubs which are the same
0:11:09 > 0:11:12and it's perfect and it just proves, you know,
0:11:12 > 0:11:14men have run it for 140 years now.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Hamish, in what way would it be perfect not to have women there?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Well, I can pick my own flowers.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25It's just a great gentleman's club.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Right. OK. OK.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Bruce, you are a... Well, first of all, you are an excellent roller,
0:11:31 > 0:11:34it would seem, because that was a great way to start, wasn't it?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- Yes, it was. Very good. Yeah. - Especially on the red lane.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39£1,200 in the bank.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Yeah, it was my favourite one on the practice so, yeah.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- OK, so you deliberately... - That was my tactic for being
0:11:45 > 0:11:47so stupid throughout the round.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50You deliberately didn't answer any questions even though you knew
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- all the answers because you wanted the red lane.- Yeah.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Your nan will be watching this thinking, "Come on, Bruce, you know this."
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- Oh, she will be screaming. - What is your nan's name? - Nanny Flo, we call her.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01And it's a ritual, is it? You and Nan sit down together and watch...
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Oh, yeah, she still watches them when I'm not there,
0:12:03 > 0:12:07but she's 90 this year and all the family is spread out
0:12:07 > 0:12:09and I live about a two-minute drive,
0:12:09 > 0:12:12so I pop round there twice a week.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15She makes excellent tea so that's my good excuse for...
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- Are you her favourite grandson? - No, she loves them all.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Yeah, she loves everyone equally,
0:12:20 > 0:12:24but I think she enjoys me being there for the game shows
0:12:24 > 0:12:26because we have good fun screaming at the TV,
0:12:26 > 0:12:29which is why I'm a bit disappointed with myself today.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Well, don't be too disappointed.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33You've got yourself off to a flying start.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36And the money you earned is added to your personal bank so,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Mel, you have £900.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Hamish, you have £550,
0:12:41 > 0:12:43and Bruce, you have £1,200.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47But only one of you can reach today's final and play for that money.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Round Two.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52And we are shutting down the shortest lane.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55And now we are introducing danger zones,
0:12:55 > 0:12:59meaning any of the cash zones from £100 all the way up to £1,300
0:12:59 > 0:13:01could become a danger zone.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04If that happens, its value drops to 0.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05How many danger zones you face
0:13:05 > 0:13:08depends on how well you do on the questions.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Release your ball first and not only will you take the shortest leg
0:13:11 > 0:13:14with the biggest edge, but you'll have no danger zones.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17This time you are going to need to answer four questions
0:13:17 > 0:13:20correctly to release your ball. So, fingers on buzzers.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Which US music group's members include Ashley Roberts

0:13:52 > 0:13:53Correct.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57In the famous version of the infinite monkey theorem,

0:14:02 > 0:14:04- Mel. - The complete works of Shakespeare.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Correct. They'll eventually type the complete works of Shakespeare.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11If I travelled as the crow flies from Paris to Amsterdam,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14which country would I have to pass through?
0:14:14 > 0:14:15- Mel.- Belgium.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Correct. Mel, you are one more correct answer away
0:14:18 > 0:14:20from releasing your ball.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24What is the name of Scrooge's former business partner who appears to him as a...
0:14:24 > 0:14:26- Mel.- Marley.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Jacob Marley is correct, as a ghost in A Christmas Carol
0:14:29 > 0:14:32and you've released your ball. You're rolling next on the blue lane.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33APPLAUSE
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- Well done, Mel.- Phew.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43This time the edge is worth...
0:14:44 > 0:14:46£2,000.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48APPLAUSE
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Well, you each have two rolls, which will be added together.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Whoever earns the least is leaving us.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57And, Mel, not only do you have the biggest edge, worth £2,000,
0:14:57 > 0:14:59you've got no danger zones.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- Hm?- Hm.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03The hand is shaking a bit more than it was, though.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04LAUGHTER
0:15:04 > 0:15:07OK, Mel, where are you going to aim for on the blue lane?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09OK, let's aim for about 900 upwards.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11OK. What's this, t'ai chi?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13No that's a sort of "How far away is that
0:15:13 > 0:15:15"because I can't quite see it from here."
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Mel, if you're ready, let's roll.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24'First up again, it's Mel on the blue lane and aiming high.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26'Back down on one knee.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27'Slight wobble.'
0:15:27 > 0:15:29It's on the cash zones.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33- Where's it going to stop?- Too slow. - A little bit tentative. It might be.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35It's tipped over to £450...
0:15:35 > 0:15:38APPLAUSE
0:15:38 > 0:15:40..which is half your first roll.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Yeah, but it's there. It's on there.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- It's in the cash zone.- It's actually in the cash zone. It's a good start.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48OK. Well, you still have another roll, Mel,
0:15:48 > 0:15:51but first, there are two lanes left.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52We've reset the podiums.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Whichever of you releases your ball next will roll on the yellow lane.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57The other will be left with the red lane
0:15:57 > 0:15:59and you'll both now be facing danger zones.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00Fingers on buzzers.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04What name is written on the bottom of Woody's boot
0:16:04 > 0:16:06in the animated film Toy Story?
0:16:08 > 0:16:09- Bruce.- Andy.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Correct.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Who did England beat in the 1966 World Cup final?
0:16:15 > 0:16:16- Hamish.- West Germany.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Correct.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22The Great Barrier Reef lies in which ocean?
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Hamish.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Sorry.- No, it's Pacific Ocean.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Hamish, you are frozen out of the next question.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34If I was standing next to an emperor penguin in its native habitat,
0:16:34 > 0:16:36which hemisphere would I be in?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39No? It was 50-50.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40It's the southern hemisphere.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Hamish, you are back in the game.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44In UK politics, the budget is normally
0:16:44 > 0:16:48presented in the House of Commons by the holder of which Cabinet post?
0:16:48 > 0:16:49- Hamish.- Chancellor of the Exchequer.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Correct.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56What A describes a metal made by combining two or more...
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- Hamish.- Aluminium.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00No. We can hear the whole question,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03"combining two or more metallic elements" and it is alloy.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06So, you are frozen out of the next question.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Which dessert made of custard and caramelised sugar
0:17:08 > 0:17:11takes its name from the French for burnt cream?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- Bruce.- Creme brulee.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16Correct.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22- Hamish, you knew that?- Yeah. - Serve those in the club as well?- Yes.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25What type of item is the conch in The Lord Of The Flies?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29- Hamish.- A shell.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Correct.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34One more correct answer, Hamish, and you would be rolling next.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Which American actor starred in the films Ghost and Donnie Darko?
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- Bruce.- Patrick Swayze.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40Correct. Patrick Swayze.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44You, too, need one more correct answer to release your ball.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46If I were to visit the Brandenburg Gate,
0:17:46 > 0:17:48which capital city would I be in?
0:17:48 > 0:17:49- Hamish.- Berlin.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Correct. I would be in Berlin
0:17:51 > 0:17:53and you're rolling next on the yellow lane.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Bruce, you're left with the red lane.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56APPLAUSE
0:18:01 > 0:18:05So, Hamish. You're going to face one danger zone.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Before you roll, we need to find out where that danger zone will be.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11It's going to move up and down your lane and it'll stop
0:18:11 > 0:18:13when you hit that button there.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14Best of luck.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19£1,300 is now gone.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23It's your danger zone. It's worth zero.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Land on that and you will get nothing.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28I'd be happy to get anywhere near it, but I won't get on it.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29What are you thinking?
0:18:29 > 0:18:35Roll it short and hopefully just get over the 450 mark instead.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- So you just want to knock Mel out? - Yes.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- LAUGHTER - Meanie.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- Hamish. If you are ready. - Yep.- Let's roll.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45'Cautious tactics from Hamish.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47'Just wanting to do enough to stay in the game.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53'Oh, there's a big bounce on delivery.'
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Is it going to go over 450?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56It is.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59And it finishes on £600.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01APPLAUSE
0:19:02 > 0:19:07Well done, Hamish. You've kept pace with Mel there. So, job done.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- Yep.- Bruce. Back in the red lane. - Back in the favourite lane.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- Yeah, well, you've already got... - Did you see my tactic, once again?
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Yeah, you knew the emperor penguins were in the southern hemisphere
0:19:16 > 0:19:18and you deliberate said, "No, I have no idea."
0:19:18 > 0:19:21But this time, Bruce, you're facing two danger zones.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23It is a different proposition.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26So before you roll, we need to find out where those danger zones are.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29They're going to move up and down your lane.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32When you're ready, press the button and they will stop.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36And they've stopped at £900 and at £600.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38They are now worth zero.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42What do you think about where they have landed?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- Not in very good positions.- No.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47But nowhere near your 1,200.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50No, that's right. Yeah, I could try again for that.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53I think I might probably try and keep in the middle, though, if I can.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55OK, Bruce, if you are ready, let's roll.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59'Red lane again for Bruce
0:19:59 > 0:20:02'but this time with a double danger zones.'
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Decent roll. Is it too fast? Is it too fast?
0:20:06 > 0:20:10It looks faster than last time and it is. It's gone over the edge.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13Ah.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Well, that roll scores you nothing.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21You've got another roll. Before everyone rolls again,
0:20:21 > 0:20:23let's have a look at what you have earned so far.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Mel, you have £450.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Hamish, you have £600.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29And Bruce, you have nothing.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Mel, you just need to get as far as you can up the board
0:20:32 > 0:20:35to put as much pressure as you can on the other two.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- Yes.- Do you think you've got the blue lane sorted now
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- after that last roll? - I hope so, but you never know.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- You never know.- OK.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Right, Mel, we're going to see if you do know.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Let's roll.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51'A chance for Mel to increase the pressure on the boys.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56'Looks like she's got her stance sorted this time. Much more focused.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- Oh, it's not got a lot of weight behind it, Mel.- No.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02And it's scored you £400.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04APPLAUSE
0:21:05 > 0:21:07So, Mel, you've given hope to the other two.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- You've given hope to Bruce... - I have indeed. - ..who hasn't scored anything.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14He's just holding back. He's going to go for the big one now.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15And for you, Hamish,
0:21:15 > 0:21:18to guarantee that you are through to the next round,
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- you need £300 or more.- Yep.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22So, how are you feeling?
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Nervous.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Even though that's a fairly low amount to have to guarantee,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- isn't it?- Yeah, it's, erm...
0:21:29 > 0:21:34- Hopefully, if I can get £500 or £600, I'll be delighted.- OK.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Let's see if you can.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- Yep.- Your danger zone remains at 1,300.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- You say you're going for about 500 or 600.- Yep.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Hamish, let's roll.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48'£300 or more will put Hamish through.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52'Getting familiar with his ball.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55'Let's see if that left hand can deliver a knockout blow.'
0:21:58 > 0:22:01It's definitely going on the cash zones. It's over 300.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04It's heading up to...
0:22:04 > 0:22:07It's scored you £700. Add that to your first roll,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09giving you £1,300.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12So, Hamish, you are guaranteed to go through now no matter what
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- Bruce does to the next round.- Yep.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- And now you know exactly what you have to do, Bruce.- Yeah.
0:22:18 > 0:22:24Your danger zones are exactly where they were, on £600 and £900.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27£900 would do it for you, but that has gone.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30You need at least 950.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32That's it. Yes.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- Mel thinks you can pull out a big one.- Thank you, Mel.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Can you say that on the BBC?
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Just did, Mel.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42Where are you going to go?
0:22:42 > 0:22:46I'm going to head for the thousands again just to see if I can hit it.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49- Bruce, best of luck. - Thank you.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50Let's roll.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54'Been forced into the realms of four figures.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56'Can Bruce deliver a big roll?
0:22:56 > 0:22:57'We've seen him do it before.'
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Oh, it's not big enough, I don't think.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10That scores you £450. We'll add that to your first roll.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11It gives you £450.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14APPLAUSE
0:23:14 > 0:23:16So, with the two rolls added together,
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Mel, you have £850.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Hamish, you have £1,300.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24And Bruce, you have £450.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Which means Mel and Hamish, you're going through to the next round.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Please return to your podiums.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30APPLAUSE
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- Ah, Bruce.- Never mind.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Nan Florence is going to be screaming at the telly right now.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Yeah, I'm not calling her when I leave.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41LAUGHTER
0:23:41 > 0:23:44I think she'll still have a nice brew for you a couple of times a week.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- She will, she will. - But, unfortunately, Bruce,
0:23:46 > 0:23:48you earned the least amount of money in that round.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51I'm afraid you are leaving here with nothing. Thanks for playing, Bruce.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- Bye-bye.- Thank you.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54APPLAUSE
0:23:57 > 0:24:00So, congratulations, Mel and Hamish. You're through to the next round.
0:24:00 > 0:24:05So, Mel, obviously quite good at the questions.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Quite good at the rolling. Quite consistent.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11What's the thing that's going to separate you two, do you think?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Ooh, I don't know.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15We were talking before the show and we both were convinced
0:24:15 > 0:24:17we were going to be the first ones out.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Yes, we thought we'd have gone home by now, so we're both
0:24:19 > 0:24:22really quite surprised to be here, aren't we?
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Well, now you're here. You're the last two standing.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Would Mel get into your club?
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- Would you let her come in as a guest of somebody?- No. Oh, as a guest?
0:24:28 > 0:24:29- Obviously, yes.- Phew.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32I was trying to build up, you know, a little bit of friendship,
0:24:32 > 0:24:33not rivalry there, Mel.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37- Mel, what else do you do in your life?- I've got an Austin A35 car.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40She's called Emily. I take her to rallies and what have you.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42She's a 1950s car.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44And my husband and I are both on the executive committee
0:24:44 > 0:24:46of hospital radio.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49So Steve's the chairman and I'm in charge of hospital visiting,
0:24:49 > 0:24:51which means I get people going up visiting patients,
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- getting the requests and playing them out on air.- Very good.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Hamish, aside from spending a lot of time in your club,
0:24:57 > 0:24:59what else do you like to do?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Rugby. Rugby is every... Well, watching now.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I used to play it but mainly watching rugby
0:25:03 > 0:25:06and I'm lucky I live in Bath.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- You've got a fairly decent club on your doorstep.- Fairly decent club.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- There's a Welsh accent sneaking out there...- Yeah. - ..when you said rugby.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15You said it like that. But your very Scottish name Hamish?
0:25:15 > 0:25:16Are you a Celtic mix?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Yeah, my father was Scottish.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21My mother was Welsh. Born in Wales.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Just 100% Welsh.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26So your allegiance is not split when it comes to rugby, then?
0:25:26 > 0:25:28No. Not at all.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31As they say, I've had loads of English blood on me
0:25:31 > 0:25:33but I've got none in me, thank God.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Through playing rugby, of course. - Through playing rugby.- Absolutely.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Well, he's a man who is hardened for battle, no doubt, Hamish,
0:25:39 > 0:25:42and the money you earned is added to your personal bank.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45So, Mel, you now have £1,750.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Hamish, you have £1,850.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50That money is safely banked for the final
0:25:50 > 0:25:52should you manage to get there.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Round Three.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57And we are shutting down another lane.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59In this round, there is only one danger zone
0:25:59 > 0:26:03and the first player to release the ball will control it
0:26:03 > 0:26:06and can place it anywhere on the opponent's lane.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09You'll need five correct answers this time to release your ball.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33- Hamish, with all that rugby and that men's club...- Yes, I know.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35..I thought that might have been one for you.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37According to the famous nursery rhyme,
0:26:37 > 0:26:43who and what were unable to put Humpty Dumpty together again?
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- Hamish.- All the King's soldiers and all the King's men.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48No, bad luck, Hamish.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50It's all the King's horses and all the King's men.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52That's incorrect and I'm afraid you're frozen out
0:26:52 > 0:26:54of the next question.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55Popular in India,

0:27:28 > 0:27:30- Mel.- Dull boy.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31Indeed, dull boy. Correct.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36This is a very good battle. A very good head-to-head here.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37Mel just edging it at the moment.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41The Harlem Globetrotters are a famous team in which sport?
0:27:41 > 0:27:43- Hamish.- Basketball.- Correct.

0:27:57 > 0:28:01What do the letters LHC stand for in the name of the CERN scientific...
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Hamish.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04Pass. Sorry.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Oh, it was almost there, wasn't it?
0:28:06 > 0:28:08It's Large Hadron Collider.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11You're frozen out of the next question.

0:28:19 > 0:28:21No, incorrect. It's Sir Lancelot.

0:28:38 > 0:28:42You're level and the person who answers the next question correctly
0:28:42 > 0:28:44will release their ball first.

0:28:48 > 0:28:49- Now.- Electric guitars.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53Correct. Which electrical instrument? A guitar.
0:28:53 > 0:28:54Well done, Mel.
0:28:54 > 0:28:55Congratulations, Mel.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57You'll roll first on the yellow lane.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Hamish, you've been left with the red lane.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01APPLAUSE
0:29:05 > 0:29:07What a great head-to-head this is.
0:29:07 > 0:29:12Now, guys, get your ball in the edge on this round and it is worth £3,000.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16APPLAUSE
0:29:16 > 0:29:19You have three rolls, which will be added together and whoever
0:29:19 > 0:29:22earns the most money in this round will go through to the final.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26Mel, you will go first, as you have done every time.
0:29:26 > 0:29:27You've led the way today.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31You've always managed to earn yourself the largest edge
0:29:31 > 0:29:34and the shortest lane. And you said you're getting even more nervous.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36I'm getting more nervous, yes.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38You have very contrasting styles, you two.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40The kneeler, Mel.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44The southpaw, Hamish, who kind of bends from the waist.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46- Mel, you get down and low.- Yeah.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50- Worked for you so far. - Well, we'll see. We'll see.- OK.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- Where are you going to go this time? - I can't really read the numbers
0:29:53 > 0:29:55but somewhere in the middle or towards the top end.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57But I said that last time and failed miserably,
0:29:57 > 0:29:59so if I say I am going to miss completely
0:29:59 > 0:30:01and then maybe I might get up the top.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04If you're ready, Mel, let's roll.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06'First in the lanes every time and in control of the game.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09'Mel must fancy her chances.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11'A good opportunity to make a solid start.'
0:30:14 > 0:30:18Definitely going to hit a cash zone. Where is it going to stop?
0:30:18 > 0:30:20And that scores you £600.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- APPLAUSE - That'll do.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Kind of where you usually end up.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27- Yeah, sort of round about in the middle somewhere.- Yeah.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31Steady as you go. But, Mel, this time you control a danger zone.
0:30:31 > 0:30:36You can put it anywhere on Hamish's lane from £100 up to £1,300.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38So, where are you going to choose?
0:30:38 > 0:30:41I'm going to go smack in the middle there.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Let's go... Well, let's go 600 because that's where I landed.
0:30:44 > 0:30:50OK. £600, Hamish, is now lost from your lane and it is worth zero.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Land on that and you get nothing.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57Are you going to go below your danger zone or above your danger zone?
0:30:58 > 0:31:01The theory is going above the danger zone.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03- Yeah?- But short of the edge.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06- Are you ready to roll?- Yes. - Hamish, good luck. Let's roll.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12'Has Mel made a good call with her placement of the danger zone?
0:31:12 > 0:31:14'It will force Hamish to consider the strength
0:31:14 > 0:31:16'he places behind his roll.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Not a bad roll. It's not a bad roll.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25Is it going to go beyond your danger zone?
0:31:25 > 0:31:27And that roll scores you £650.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30APPLAUSE
0:31:30 > 0:31:35So, after the first roll, Mel has £600 and Hamish has £650,
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- which, Hamish, is exactly what you said you would do.- Yes.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Well, you two are so even at the moment, Mel.
0:31:42 > 0:31:47I'm wondering if it's time for you to pull out a big roll.
0:31:47 > 0:31:48I can try.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Pick a number.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53- Er, 900.- OK.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Let's see if you can do it.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Best of luck. Let's roll.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59'This pair are evenly matched.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02'Mel back down on one knee again.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05'She's going to have to pull something special out of the bag.'
0:32:05 > 0:32:09It's a bit tentative. I'm not sure it's going to get up to 900.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12- Too short.- No, it's £450. We'll add that to your first roll.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14That gives you £1,050.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17APPLAUSE
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Mel, you've got a choice now.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23If you want to, you can move that danger zone in Hamish's lane.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27No, I'll leave it where it is.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29You think that middle section
0:32:29 > 0:32:31which you both seem to be so attracted to...
0:32:31 > 0:32:34We seem to be stuck to that bit so, yeah, we'll leave that where it is.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- OK. So it stays there on 600, Hamish. - Yeah.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39But it's time for a big one, isn't it?
0:32:39 > 0:32:42It's time for something that's going to change this game.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Change the complexion of your contest.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Just a smidgen harder than last time and try
0:32:46 > 0:32:48and put some fresh air between us.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52In rugby parlance, Hamish, we need some kind of flair play here,
0:32:52 > 0:32:54- don't we?- We do, indeed.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- A Scottish winger or something like that would be good.- Don't know any.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59LAUGHTER
0:32:59 > 0:33:01OK, Hamish, best of luck. Let's roll.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07'Has Mel's cautious roll given Hamish enough encouragement
0:33:07 > 0:33:09'to put some weight behind this
0:33:09 > 0:33:11'and aim for the big four figures?'
0:33:12 > 0:33:14No.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18You said "no" soon as it left your hand and it just about trickles over
0:33:18 > 0:33:24the cash zone and its £250, added to your first roll gives you £900.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27APPLAUSE
0:33:27 > 0:33:30After that second roll, Mel, you have £1,050
0:33:30 > 0:33:32and Hamish, you have £900.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34APPLAUSE
0:33:35 > 0:33:41So, Mel, £1,200 would push Hamish to the edge.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45- You haven't been close to that for a while, though.- No.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49It seems a long time ago since your old 900. Yeah.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53I think the word fluke is travelling through the brain here.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55- Are you going to go for it? - Yeah, let's give it a go.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56OK, Mel, let's roll.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01'There's nothing fluky about being in the lead, but it is very close.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04'Can Mel up the stakes with her final roll?'
0:34:06 > 0:34:07It's got a bit more weight
0:34:07 > 0:34:10but I'm not sure it's going to go all the way up there.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12And...
0:34:12 > 0:34:14it's £650.
0:34:14 > 0:34:15APPLAUSE
0:34:15 > 0:34:20Which added to your first roll gives you £1,700.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Well, you now have, again, an option of moving a danger zone.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26You've kept it at £600 all the way. Are you going to keep it there?
0:34:26 > 0:34:30- I'm going to leave it where it is, yes.- So it stays there on 600.
0:34:30 > 0:34:36To definitely go through, Hamish needs £850.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- You've got to clear that danger zone, Hamish.- Yep.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43- And then a few more clicks of the cash zones.- Yes.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45- Have you been giving yourself a pep talk?- I have.- OK.
0:34:45 > 0:34:46A better one than last time.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48LAUGHTER
0:34:48 > 0:34:50- Well, let's hope for your sake. Are you ready?- I am.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Let's roll.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57'A clear target of £850 or more to reach the final.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00'It's all in your left hand now, Hamish.'
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Looks like a good weight. Is it too much? Is it too much?
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Is it going to stop or not?
0:35:10 > 0:35:13No, it's over the edge, Hamish.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16It's scored you nothing and if we add that to what you've already got,
0:35:16 > 0:35:18it means you still have £900.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20APPLAUSE
0:35:22 > 0:35:25They'll all be sat round some big comfy
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Chesterfields in your gentleman's club right now
0:35:27 > 0:35:29watching a big screen.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31- What will they be shouting?- Idiot.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33LAUGHTER
0:35:33 > 0:35:34We don't think that, Hamish.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37With the three rolls added together, Mel has £1,700
0:35:37 > 0:35:39but Hamish has £900,
0:35:39 > 0:35:41which means, Mel,
0:35:41 > 0:35:43you take what you've earned through to today's final.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Congratulations. Please return to your podium.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47APPLAUSE
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Mel.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Hamish, it's like, to use another sporting analogy, you know,
0:35:53 > 0:35:56- it's like the kicker, isn't it, lining up...- Yes.
0:35:56 > 0:36:01- ..for that kick to win the match.- And then totally and completely missing.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03- Scraffing it, as my husband would say.- Yes.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Well, Hamish, we've loved having you here,
0:36:05 > 0:36:07but you did earn the least amount of money in that round
0:36:07 > 0:36:09so I'm afraid you're leaving here with nothing.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12- Thanks for playing and goodbye. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14APPLAUSE
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Congratulations, Mel. You've made it through to the final,
0:36:19 > 0:36:20where you're playing for all
0:36:20 > 0:36:25the money you have earned today, which is £3,450.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27APPLAUSE
0:36:27 > 0:36:30Nice total there, that would be, wouldn't it, to go home with?
0:36:30 > 0:36:33- It would be fantastic.- And what would you do with it?
0:36:33 > 0:36:38Well, my husband won't fly, so both of us would like to go to America
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- but the only way we can get there is on a cruise ship.- Oh, how lovely.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43So float across to New York. And we live in Southampton.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47We can actually see the cruise ships from the top of our road so
0:36:47 > 0:36:50it would be lovely to actually be on one rather than just watching it go.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Great to have you here in the final, Mel,
0:36:52 > 0:36:54and we hope we can send you on your way.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56OK, it's the final.
0:36:58 > 0:37:03And we're shutting down one more lane, which leaves only the red lane.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06We've removed the cash values from that lane, leaving only the edge,
0:37:06 > 0:37:10which is now worth all the money you've earned today.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14Stop your ball on the edge and you will win £3,450.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17APPLAUSE
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Go over the edge and you get nothing.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21But you've got a chance to make it easier for yourself
0:37:21 > 0:37:23by answering some more questions.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27Each correct answer increases the size of the edge.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29The more questions you get right, the bigger the edge will be
0:37:29 > 0:37:31and the easier your final roll.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34You'll have 75 seconds to get as many right as you can.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38- Is everything clear?- Yes. - Let's put 75 seconds on the clock.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41Your time will start when I've read the first question.
0:37:41 > 0:37:46Allemagne is the French name for what European country?
0:37:46 > 0:37:48England. Great Britain.
