0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:24Hello and welcome to The Edge, the show where you need brains and balls.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Today, our players will compete to roll down the big-money cash lanes.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31The nearer they roll to the edge, the more money they earn.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Stop their ball on the edge and they'll get thousands,
0:00:34 > 0:00:37but go over and they get nothing.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Let's meet the players who, today, are going to push themselves
0:00:39 > 0:00:41to the edge.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43APPLAUSE
0:00:43 > 0:00:45I'm Ben. I'm a law lecturer from Surrey
0:00:45 > 0:00:47and I've travelled around the world.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49I'm Suzanne. I'm a scientist from North Yorkshire
0:00:49 > 0:00:52and I recently won a bowling tournament with my mum.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54I'm Nikhil from Hounslow.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56I'm a risk consultant and I've been to over 20 countries.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59I'm Helen from Banbury. I'm an administrator at a college
0:00:59 > 0:01:01and I like to do pub quizzes.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03APPLAUSE
0:01:05 > 0:01:06Welcome to you all and
0:01:06 > 0:01:09very best of luck.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12In a moment you will each take to the lanes to roll for big money.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14The ball you need is trapped in your podium.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17I'm going to ask some questions, buzz in with the correct answer
0:01:17 > 0:01:20and you will bring your ball up towards you.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21Once you have freed your ball,
0:01:21 > 0:01:23you will roll down the shortest lane available.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26The shorter the lane, the bigger the edge
0:01:26 > 0:01:29and the better the odds of banking big money.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31So, do well on these questions to give yourself the best
0:01:31 > 0:01:33advantage on the lanes.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Three correct answers will release your ball.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37If everyone is ready.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Fingers on buzzers.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42The North Stand at Old Trafford is named after which former...
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Ben.- Sir Alex Ferguson.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Former Manchester United manager. Correct.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- You're wearing red. Is it your team?- It is, yeah.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Of course, coming from Kent.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53LAUGHTER
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Ra, Horus and Hathor were deities of which ancient civilisation?
0:01:57 > 0:01:58- Ben.- Egyptian.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Correct.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Ben, you need one more correct answer to release your ball.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08In humans, which organ sits between the lungs and rests on the diaphragm?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Nikhil.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11- The heart.- Correct.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15If I was speaking in the international language
0:02:15 > 0:02:18created by LL Zamenhof...
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- Ben.- Esperanto.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22In 1887, what language would I be speaking? It is Esperanto.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Correct and you've released your ball.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26You'll be rolling first on the green lane.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28APPLAUSE
0:02:33 > 0:02:37So, Ben, you displayed your esoteric knowledge there.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40A youth wasted in pub quizzes, I think.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Could stand you in good stead here,
0:02:43 > 0:02:46but LL Zamenhof, that was very quick on the buzzer there.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48It's the only made up language I am aware of
0:02:48 > 0:02:50so I took a bit of a risk there.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Ah.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- A calculated risk.- OK. Well, sometimes it pays off to interrupt.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Sometimes it doesn't.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59In this case it has given you the shortest lane with the biggest
0:02:59 > 0:03:03edge and if you hit the edge in Round One it is worth
0:03:03 > 0:03:05£1,500.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:03:06 > 0:03:09You will each have one roll to earn as much as you can.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Whoever earns the least is leaving us.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15How did it go when you were practising on the green lane?
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Some pretty good. Once I got my eye in, I was OK,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22but I think the danger here is, being first,
0:03:22 > 0:03:23I've got to set a score.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27If I go over the edge I am relying on somebody else doing that.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29All they've got to post is a low score and I'm gone,
0:03:29 > 0:03:33so I'm just going to focus on the end and see if I can hit the edge.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- OK, Ben. Are you ready? - I think so.- Let's roll.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40'Good afternoon. First onto the lanes,
0:03:40 > 0:03:42'law lecturer Ben from Surrey.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45'Aiming high and for the edge.'
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Steady. It is creeping up the cash zones
0:03:48 > 0:03:51and it stops on £850.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52APPLAUSE
0:03:53 > 0:03:56It looked like it was slowing down quite a lot there
0:03:56 > 0:03:58after a speedy start.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Yeah, I think I was nervous about putting too much on it
0:04:01 > 0:04:02and going over the edge
0:04:02 > 0:04:05but I'm a little bit disappointed with that.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- I was hoping to get higher.- OK.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Three lanes still up for grabs.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12We have reset the podiums, so fingers on buzzers.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18In the well-known song, what did the old lady swallowed to catch the cat?
0:04:18 > 0:04:19- Suzanne.- A dog.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Correct.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Alpha and beta particles are given off by materials going through
0:04:25 > 0:04:27what sort of decay?
0:04:27 > 0:04:28- Nikhil.- Radioactive.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Correct.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Scientist, Suzanne?
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Maybe.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35LAUGHTER
0:04:35 > 0:04:38According to the Sound Of Music song,
0:04:38 > 0:04:40if "do" is a dear, a female deer,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42what, specifically, is "re"?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- Suzanne.- A drop of golden sun.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Correct.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48What bugs from the family Cimicidae
0:04:48 > 0:04:50should we mind the bites of
0:04:50 > 0:04:52when being tucked in at night?
0:04:52 > 0:04:53- Nikhil.- Bedbugs.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Correct.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Suzanne and Nikhil, you both need one more correct answer
0:04:58 > 0:05:00to release your ball.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- Helen, was that a sigh of exasperation there?- Yeah.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04LAUGHTER
0:05:04 > 0:05:07What is the southernmost region of mainland Portugal?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- Nikhil.- The Algarve.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Correct. You have released your ball.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15You'll be rolling the next on the blue lane.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17APPLAUSE
0:05:20 > 0:05:21So, Nikhil, there was
0:05:21 > 0:05:25a slightly uncomfortable expression on your face when you said Algarve.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26I knew it was in the south of Portugal.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28I didn't know if it was the most south region.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- You haven't had a bad holiday there or anything?- No, not yet.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34OK. Well, to guarantee your place in the next round,
0:05:34 > 0:05:38you need to roll £900 or more.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40What are you go to go for?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42I'm just going to try and beat his
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- rather than go for the very edge, I think.- OK.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Were you good on the same in practice?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49It was very up and down. I'll be honest.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Some really good ones and some not so good ones,
0:05:52 > 0:05:54so let's hope for the average.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55OK.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Nikhil, if you are ready, let's roll.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03'Risk consultant Nikhil from Hounslow looking to beat Ben.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08'Weighing up the lanes and a couple of practice swings there.'
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Steady roll. Climbing up the cash zones.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17It's gone past Ben and it scores you £950.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18APPLAUSE
0:06:21 > 0:06:22You wanted to beat Ben.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Yeah, that was the aim, just to trickle over his.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Well, you've done that and you've guaranteed yourself a place in the next round.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- Ben, you have a slightly more nervous wait.- Yeah.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34So, only two lanes left.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Whichever of you releases your ball next will roll on the yellow lane.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39The other will be left with the red lane.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Fingers on buzzers.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43In Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy,
0:06:43 > 0:06:45what is the answer to the ultimate...
0:06:45 > 0:06:46- Suzanne.- 42.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Ultimate question of life, universe and everything.
0:06:49 > 0:06:5042 is the correct answer.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55What type of hat does Indiana Jones famously wear?
0:06:57 > 0:06:58- Suzanne.- Trilby.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Incorrect. It's a fedora and you are frozen out of the next question.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06This is for you Helen, but if you don't know it you don't have to answer it.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08If I was at school with the Bash Street Kids,
0:07:08 > 0:07:10in which comic would I be?
0:07:12 > 0:07:13- Helen.- The Beano.- Correct.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- You are back in the game, Suzanne.- OK.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Which famous fashion designers real name is Ralph Lifshitz?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Suzanne.- Ralph Lauren.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26Correct.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31One correct answer, Suzanne, and you will release your ball.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Cognac is a variety of which distilled wine?
0:07:35 > 0:07:36- Suzanne.- Brandy.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Correct. You have released your ball.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40You are rolling next on the yellow lane.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Helen, you have been left with the red lane.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44APPLAUSE
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Just pipped to the blue lane, Suzanne.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Now found yourself with the yellow lane.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55To guarantee your place in the next round,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58you need £900 or more.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Is that quite a long way from where you're standing?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02It looks a very long way from where I'm standing, yes.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04How did it go in practice on the yellow lane?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I kept going over the edge.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Just a bit too hard, so I will have to rein it in a bit.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- OK. Are you ready? - Yes.- Let's roll.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17'The boys have set a high benchmark for scientist Suzanne.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21'Can the Yorkshire lass topped their scores?'
0:08:21 > 0:08:23It got a bit of pace on it.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25It's heading up the cash zones.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27It's clicking up the cash zones.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31But it stops on £850.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33APPLAUSE
0:08:33 > 0:08:36So, you are level with Ben.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39You will both live to fight another day whatever Helen does,
0:08:39 > 0:08:43but it could be, Helen, that they have done enough.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44It's down to you now
0:08:44 > 0:08:49because to guarantee your place in the next round you need £900 or more.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Should you also land on 850, we'd have a three-way roll-off.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54A rare thing.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57How did the rolls go in practice?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59In practice, they were not too bad.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02But this is definitely the harder of the lanes.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- You found that one tricky?- Yeah.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Are you ready, Helen?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09No, probably not but, no, I will.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Let's roll.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15'High scoring rolls are pushing Helen from Banbury to think big.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17'£900 or more will get her through.'
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Smooth roll.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Heading towards the cash zones.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Is it going to be too short?
0:09:26 > 0:09:28It scores you £400.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30APPLAUSE
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Suzanne and Ben breathe a sigh of relief. No roll-off for them.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39So, at the end of the rolls,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Ben has £850,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Nikhil has £950,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Suzanne has £850
0:09:45 > 0:09:47and Helen has £400.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49So, Ben, Nikhil and Suzanne,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52you're through to the next round. Please return to your podiums.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53APPLAUSE
0:09:55 > 0:10:00Helen, you said the red lane was tough and you proved that.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- It's tough to judge it, isn't it? - It is.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04But the reason people get the red lane is
0:10:04 > 0:10:08they don't answer enough questions correctly in that first round.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10And you said you're a pub-quizzer?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12I never said I was good at it!
0:10:12 > 0:10:14LAUGHTER
0:10:14 > 0:10:15- It's a technicality?- Yeah.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18But, unfortunately, Helen, you earned the least amount of money
0:10:18 > 0:10:21in that round, so I'm afraid you're leaving here with nothing.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Thanks so much for playing, Helen. Goodbye.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26APPLAUSE
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Congratulations, Ben, Suzanne and Nikhil,
0:10:30 > 0:10:31you're through to the next round.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Who's watching you at home today, Ben?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36My wife, Claire.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38My daughter, Francesca, as well.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42And if I deign to tell my mum and dad that I'm on a TV quiz show,
0:10:42 > 0:10:44maybe them as well.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46So how old is Francesca?
0:10:46 > 0:10:52She's just turned two, so the terrible-two tantrums at the moment.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Um, yeah, long nights.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- She quite wilful, is she? - Very wilful, yeah.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58She gets that from her mother.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Is she starting to talk quite a lot?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03We're getting a couple of new words a day.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05The usual one is, "Daddy, get up".
0:11:05 > 0:11:08"Daddy, make me breakfast."
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Your wife has got her very well trained, I think.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Very well trained indeed, yeah.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Suzanne, you won a bowling competition.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18You've already told us that. So are you the ringer here?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20No, I wouldn't say that.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25No, my mum retired a couple of years ago, so we were looking for things
0:11:25 > 0:11:28for her to do in her retirement
0:11:28 > 0:11:30and we went along to the local bowling club together,
0:11:30 > 0:11:34had a trial go and both really enjoyed it so we joined the club
0:11:34 > 0:11:37and then, the following year, we managed to win the club pairs
0:11:37 > 0:11:39competition together, so that was really good.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42So, what's the difference, then, you've had a go now on the lanes?
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Well, on the short-mark bowling that I play,
0:11:45 > 0:11:48there's a block of wood in the middle of the lane that you have to
0:11:48 > 0:11:50curl your ball around,
0:11:50 > 0:11:53so that's one obstacle that we don't have to deal with here.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57There isn't a huge cash penalty if you go over the end of the lane.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58LAUGHTER
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Big difference, big difference.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Nikhil, you've recently changed your job.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Yes, so I'm working in risk consulting
0:12:05 > 0:12:07at financial institutions.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10I used to work in a related field within commodities trading
0:12:10 > 0:12:13and now I'll be consulting the people who take those risks
0:12:13 > 0:12:17- how to do it better, I guess... - Right.- ..or take less risk, perhaps.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Are you risk averse then?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22As I'm getting older, I'm taking less and less risks, I think.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I still take quite a lot of risks socially, shall we say?
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Still the craziest dressed
0:12:26 > 0:12:28or the one doing the quirky things at parties.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- What kind of things do you do at parties?- Oh, no, no.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32LAUGHTER
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- Just in the kind of jokes I do.- OK.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- Magic tricks and all these sorts of things.- Oh, right, OK.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41The money you earned is added to your personal bank.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43So, Ben, you have £850.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Suzanne, you have £850
0:12:45 > 0:12:48and, Nikhil, you have £950.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52But only one of you can reach today's final and play for that money.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53Round Two,
0:12:53 > 0:12:57and we're shutting down the shortest lane
0:12:57 > 0:13:00and now we're introducing danger zones, meaning any of the cash
0:13:00 > 0:13:03zones from 100 up to £1,300 could become a danger zone.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06If that happens, its value drops to zero.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08How many danger zones you face
0:13:08 > 0:13:10depends on how well you do on the questions.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Release your ball first and, not only will you take the shortest
0:13:12 > 0:13:15lane with the biggest edge, but no danger zones.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18This time you'll need to answer four questions correctly
0:13:18 > 0:13:19to release your ball.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Fingers on buzzers.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Which BBC Television information service was closed down in 2012?

0:13:27 > 0:13:29Correct.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31If Sydney is ten hours ahead of London
0:13:31 > 0:13:34and it's currently 6pm in London, what time is it...
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Nikhil.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39- 4am.- ..in Sydney, it's 4am. Correct.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Which former Newsnight presenter co-hosted
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Channel Four's 2015 Alternative Election Night?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- Nikhil.- Jeremy Paxman?

0:14:01 > 0:14:03- Ben.- Neneh Cherry.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06..for Neneh who? Cherry. Correct.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09The historical region of Mesopotamia is generally considered to
0:14:09 > 0:14:12have lain between the Euphrates and which other...
0:14:12 > 0:14:13- Ben.- Tigris.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15..river. Correct.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19You need one more correct answer, Ben, to release your ball.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22In the famous line from Terminator 2: Judgment Day,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25what word follows "Hasta la vista"?
0:14:25 > 0:14:26- Nikhil.- Baby.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Correct.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Nikhil and Ben, you need one more correct answer to release your ball.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34In 2010, which German became the youngest ever

0:14:36 > 0:14:38- Ben.- Sebastian Vettel.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Correct. You've released your ball.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42You're rolling first on the blue lane!
0:14:42 > 0:14:45APPLAUSE
0:14:47 > 0:14:51So, Ben, a very good run of questions for you.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Yes, I got lucky there with some of them,
0:14:53 > 0:14:56again, just anticipating what they were about.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58I didn't want to let Suzanne and Nikhil get too far ahead of me
0:14:58 > 0:15:01so it was important I started jumping in.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Cos you wanted this blue lane? - Absolutely, yes.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Now, with two balls, I'm hoping I can get a bit of muscle
0:15:08 > 0:15:10memory going and post a better score than the first round.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13It was a bit nerve-racking, that first round.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Get your ball on the edge in this round and it's worth...
0:15:16 > 0:15:18£2,000.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20APPLAUSE
0:15:20 > 0:15:22You each have two rolls, which will be added together.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Whoever earns the least is leaving us.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Where are you going to aim for now?
0:15:27 > 0:15:31Um, anywhere around the £1,000 mark, but, with each ball, I'll be happy.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35- Think big.- OK, Ben, let's roll.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38'Eager for the blue lane and for good reason.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43'It's danger zone-free with the biggest edge.'
0:15:43 > 0:15:46It's a big roll. Is it going to stay on the lane?
0:15:46 > 0:15:47Is it going to get right up there to the top?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49It has!
0:15:49 > 0:15:51You've hit the edge, Ben,
0:15:51 > 0:15:54and that scores you £2,000!
0:15:54 > 0:15:57APPLAUSE
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- Well, you have got four figures. - Very pleased with that indeed, yeah.
0:16:01 > 0:16:06Well, the muscle memory that you managed to evoke for that roll
0:16:06 > 0:16:08you'll have to do again in a short while.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- You've got a second roll to come. - I hope to repeat it.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15So there are two lanes left and we've reset the podiums.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Whichever of you releases your ball next will roll on the yellow lane.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20The other will be left with the red lane
0:16:20 > 0:16:22and you'll both be facing danger zones.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Fingers on buzzers.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Which character from Grease sang the line,
0:16:27 > 0:16:31"We made out under the dock" in the song Summer Nights?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Nikhil.- Danny Zuko?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Full name. Danny would have done. Danny Zuko is correct.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40APPLAUSE
0:16:40 > 0:16:45Which Shakespeare title character murders the Scottish king Duncan?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- Nikhil.- Is it Macbeth?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Correct.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53In a list of the usual English names of UN member states,
0:16:53 > 0:16:56which African country comes last alphabetically?
0:16:56 > 0:16:57- Suzanne.- Zimbabwe.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Correct.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Which Dutch artist is perhaps best known for his print
0:17:03 > 0:17:06of seemingly-connected staircases that create an optical...
0:17:06 > 0:17:07- Nikhil.- Escher.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Correct. ..an optical illusion.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13One more correct answer, Nikhil, and you'll roll next on the yellow lane.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Giant pandas are predominantly what two colours?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- Suzanne.- Black and white.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Correct.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Which American band's members include Mike Mills, Peter Buck...
0:17:24 > 0:17:26- Suzanne.- REM.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30..and Michael Stipe? It's REM. Correct.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34One more correct answer from either of you will release your ball.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35In the Grimm fairytale,
0:17:35 > 0:17:38what type of creature tries to eat Little Red Riding Hood?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- Suzanne.- A wolf.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Correct. You've released your ball.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43You're rolling next on the yellow lane.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Nikhil, you've been left with the red lane.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48APPLAUSE
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Another tight round there, Suzanne, but you just pipped Nikhil.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58- It was very tight, yeah. - Suzanne, you have the yellow lane.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59You'll face one danger zone.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Before you roll we need to know where that danger zone is going to be.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05It's moving up and down your lane.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08It'll only stop when you hit that button there, so best of luck.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13And it has stopped on £600.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15That's gone from your lane, replaced with zero.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17How do you feel about that?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Well, I think I'm probably going to have to get past there to get
0:18:20 > 0:18:23through to the next round anyway, so that's OK.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26OK, so you're going for some four-figure sums, maybe?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Hopefully, yeah. What about the edge?
0:18:28 > 0:18:30My heart might be in my mouth a bit if it gets that close,
0:18:30 > 0:18:32but if I do manage it, that'll be brilliant.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- Are you ready?- Yeah.- Let's roll.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38'A danger zone right in the middle,
0:18:38 > 0:18:42'but Suzanne knows she has to go past it to try to keep up with Ben.'
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- Is it?- Oh, no!
0:18:49 > 0:18:55No, it's NOT over the danger zone and that means it scores you nothing.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- Oh, Suzanne.- Disaster.- Not yet.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00You've got one more roll
0:19:00 > 0:19:03and we haven't seen what Nikhil's rolled yet, so it's not all lost.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- Yeah.- Nikhil, you've been left with the red lane.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07That means you have two danger zones,
0:19:07 > 0:19:09so, before you roll, we need to find out where they are.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11They'll move up and down your lane
0:19:11 > 0:19:14and they'll stop when you press that button there.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17And your danger zones are on 950 and £100.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20How do you feel about that?
0:19:20 > 0:19:21I don't mind the 100.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25The 950, that's sort of the area I was going to try and get to,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- so that's a bit painful, yeah. - Bit annoying, yeah.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- Are you ready?- Going to have to be.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Let's roll.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37'Nikhil, left with the red lane and facing double danger zones
0:19:37 > 0:19:40'and we've just seen how perilous they can be.'
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Smooth. It's big.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Is it too big? Is it going to slow down? It doesn't look like it is.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50It's trickled over the edge
0:19:50 > 0:19:53and that roll scores you nothing.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57It's tough getting to grips with that red lane, Nikhil.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Suzanne, shoulders relaxed a little bit there? Sigh of relief?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02A little bit of relief, yeah. There's still some work to do.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04There is. Before everyone rolls again,
0:20:04 > 0:20:08let's have a look at what you've earned so far. Ben, you hit the edge.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09You have £2,000.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Suzanne, you have nothing.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15And Nikhil, you have nothing.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18So, Ben, you were talking muscle memory.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- Mm-hm.- And getting yourself back on the edge again.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Hopefully, although I don't think I need to take too many risks here.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26- I think if I can post anything... - You're through.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30- That guarantees me through.- Just get onto 100 and you're through.- Yeah.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32- Are you ready?- I am.- Let's roll.
0:20:32 > 0:20:37'Ben knows any cash zone guarantees his place in the next round.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40'So this is all about building money in his bank.'
0:20:40 > 0:20:44It's a much more timid, much more tentative roll,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47but it trickles over to £600.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50We'll add that to your first roll - gives you £2,600.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52APPLAUSE
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Congratulations, Ben.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57I'm sure you've done the maths - you're through to the next round.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59So you can relax for a bit.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02There's now a head-to-head going on.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Suzanne, there was a huge sigh of relief from you
0:21:06 > 0:21:08when Nikhil went over the edge.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Your danger zone, though, is still on £600.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- Yeah, I'll try and avoid it this time.- Best avoided, yeah.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- And probably best to go above it, I would say.- I'd say so, yeah.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- Are you ready?- Yeah.- Let's roll.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25'Who will join Ben in the next round?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28'Suzanne needs to avoid that danger zone
0:21:28 > 0:21:31'and score big to put pressure on Nikhil.'
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Smooth.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35It's big. Is it going to stop?
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Is it going to slow down?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38It just might...
0:21:38 > 0:21:39No!
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Oh, it's over the edge, Suzanne!
0:21:43 > 0:21:46It looked like a good roll, but it just trickled over,
0:21:46 > 0:21:48and it scores you nothing.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51SHE SIGHS
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- I know.- That was horrible to watch for me.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- I don't know what it was like for you.- It was awful.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Just a tiny bit less... - I've got cramp in my toe.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02LAUGHTER Oh, have you?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Can I just sit down?
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- What is it, Suzanne?- It's fine. - What kind of injury is it?
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Is it any sporting injury I might recognise? Metatarsals, they've spoiled England football team's
0:22:11 > 0:22:16- chances in tournaments.- Unfortunately it's nothing that exciting.- No? Are you OK to carry on, Suzanne?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Well, I think I'm going to only have to walk down there.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Well, you don't know - you're not going home just yet, Suzanne,
0:22:21 > 0:22:23cos we haven't seen Nikhil's roll.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Because if Nikhil fails to score on this roll,
0:22:26 > 0:22:31then you'll face each other in a roll-off to decide who goes through.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33It's a rare situation, this, Nikhil,
0:22:33 > 0:22:36where the person before you has scored nothing with two rolls,
0:22:36 > 0:22:40and yet you still have to produce something.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Your target would be £100 if your danger zone wasn't there,
0:22:44 > 0:22:46so your target is £200.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50And then of course you have another danger zone on 950.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53So where are you going to aim your ball?
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Just going to have to try and get it on the board, I think,
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- and just hope it doesn't land on 950.- Are you ready?
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- Yeah.- Let's roll.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06'Suzanne has presented Nikhil with the perfect opportunity
0:23:06 > 0:23:08'to secure his place in the next round.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13'He just has to roll his ball onto a cash zone.'
0:23:13 > 0:23:15It's trickling. It's trickling.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- Is it going to be short? - Is it going to reach?
0:23:17 > 0:23:18Is it going to be short or is it going to...
0:23:18 > 0:23:21No! It scores you nothing!
0:23:21 > 0:23:24So you have nothing.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26LAUGHTER
0:23:26 > 0:23:29So, with those two rolls added together -
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Ben, you have £2,600.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Suzanne, you have nothing.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36And Nikhil, you have nothing.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Which means, Ben, you're definitely going through to the next round,
0:23:39 > 0:23:41so please return to your podium.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43APPLAUSE
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Suzanne and Nikhil,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50to decide who stays and who goes, we're going to have a roll-off.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53You stay in your lanes. We've removed all the cash values
0:23:53 > 0:23:55and danger zones from your lane.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00No money will be earned on this roll. You each roll once more.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Whoever is closest to their edge zone will stay.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05- Is that clear?- Yeah.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Pick up your balls.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10And you will both roll on my command.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12So if you're ready -
0:24:12 > 0:24:15in three, two, one,
0:24:15 > 0:24:17let's roll.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20'This is nerve-racking stuff.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22'Who's going to make it through?'
0:24:24 > 0:24:26It's a good roll, Suzanne.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29It's a very good roll, and it's staying in your lane.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31And Suzanne, you got closest to the edge,
0:24:31 > 0:24:35so you're through to the next round. Please return to your podium.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36APPLAUSE
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Had a chance, and I messed it up.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Well, they were almost the same length.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44If we shifted the yellow lane back, you'd see that.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46You just needed that bit more, Nikhil.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49But I'm afraid you're leaving here with nothing.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54- We've enjoyed having you here. Thank you for playing.- Thank you. - Bye-bye.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56APPLAUSE
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Congratulations, Ben and Suzanne, you're through to the next round.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Not without a few nervy moments, Suzanne, of course.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Ben, quite straightforward for you there.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Got lucky with the edge roll,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12so I think that took a lot of pressure off,
0:25:12 > 0:25:15especially with Suzanne and Nikhil going over the edge,
0:25:15 > 0:25:17so made that second roll... It should have made it easier,
0:25:17 > 0:25:19but bit tentative, still, so...
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Suzanne, who's watching you at home today?
0:25:21 > 0:25:24I've got my family at home - so husband Martin
0:25:24 > 0:25:26and my two children, Jasmine and Charlie.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28And what do they think about you being here today?
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Oh, they're very excited about me being here. They want me to come home with some money,
0:25:32 > 0:25:34so I'm hoping to make them very proud.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Well, you're going to have to roll a little bit better than you did in the last round, Suzanne.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39- Yeah.- What will they think of that?
0:25:39 > 0:25:44- I think they'll think I scraped through, just. - SHE LAUGHS
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- Nail-biting for the kids, watching this.- Yeah, it was nail-biting.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Well, the money you earned is added to your personal bank.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54So Ben, you now have £3,450.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Suzanne, £850.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00That money is safely banked for the final should you manage to get there.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01Round Three.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03And we're shutting down another lane.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06In this round, there's only one danger zone,
0:26:06 > 0:26:09and the first player to release their ball will control it
0:26:09 > 0:26:11and can place it anywhere on their opponent's lane.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15You'll need five correct answers to release your ball.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Fingers on buzzers.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Which spicy Indian curry shares its name
0:26:20 > 0:26:22with the unofficial England football anthem
0:26:22 > 0:26:25from the 1998 Fifa World Cup? Suzanne.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27- Vindaloo.- Correct.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30What total do you get if you add
0:26:30 > 0:26:33the first three even whole numbers together?
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Suzanne.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- 12.- Correct.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41The annual Veteran Car Run, which starts at London's Hyde Park,
0:26:41 > 0:26:43finishes at which seaside... Ben.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- Brighton.- Seaside city - Brighton, correct.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50What is the title of the noughties sitcom starring the comedians
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey and Tamsin Greig?
0:26:53 > 0:26:54Ben.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- Spaced.- Incorrect. Black Books.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59You're frozen out for the next question, Ben.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Suzanne, you don't have to answer this if you don't know it.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Prince Edward and the street urchin Tom Canty
0:27:05 > 0:27:09are the two title characters in which 1881 novel?
0:27:09 > 0:27:10I don't know.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13The Prince and the Pauper. You're back in the game, Ben.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16What is the nickname of the snooker player Ronnie O'Sullivan?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- Ben.- The Rocket.- Correct.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22How many years are in a millennium?
0:27:22 > 0:27:24- Ben.- 1,000.- Correct.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- This is a race to the buzzer.- Yeah.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Which American group had top 40 hits with Under the Bridge,
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Give It Away and... Ben.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32The Temptations?
0:27:32 > 0:27:35And Californication - it's Red Hot Chili Peppers.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37You're frozen out of the next question.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41This is your question, Suzanne, but you don't have to answer it if you don't know it.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44If I wanted to travel to another universe, what object
0:27:44 > 0:27:47also known as an Einstein-Rosen Bridge,
0:27:47 > 0:27:49could I theoretically use to do so?
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Suzanne.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- A black hole?- A wormhole.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57- Oh.- You're frozen out of the next question. Ben, you're back in.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Which 1981 Spielberg film features the character Peter Pan?
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Ben.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04- Hook.- Correct.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06You're back in the game, Suzanne, and Ben,
0:28:06 > 0:28:08you need one more correct answer to release your ball.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11If there are 58 passengers on a bus and 30 of them
0:28:11 > 0:28:14have travel cards, how many passengers do not?
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- Ben.- 28.- Correct. You've released your ball.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19You're rolling first on the yellow lane.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Suzanne, you've been left with the red lane.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23APPLAUSE
0:28:26 > 0:28:28So, Ben, for the third time in succession
0:28:28 > 0:28:32you've earned yourself the shortest lane available with the biggest edge.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36And if you get your ball on the edge in this round, it's worth...
0:28:36 > 0:28:38£3,000.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40APPLAUSE
0:28:40 > 0:28:42You have three rolls, which will be added together.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Whoever earns the most money in this round is through to the final.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Ben, the last time you rolled first,
0:28:48 > 0:28:51- you hit the edge.- Yes.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54I'm not sure I'll be able to repeat it this time.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Again, it's about judging that extra distance
0:28:57 > 0:28:59and how much weight to put on it.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03I'll be happy just to post something in the top hundreds here.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- I'd be happy with that. - Put a bit of pressure on Suzanne.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10That's right, yeah. And that will allow me to assess where to put the danger zone as well.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14Maybe just drop it in alongside or maybe one score behind.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18OK, Ben. If you're ready, let's roll.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22'Competitive Ben on the yellow lane.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24'Can he hit the edge again on this roll?'
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Oh, it's big.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30- Too much, too much.- Think it's going to be too big, Ben.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32It is. It's going over the edge.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36And that roll, Ben, scorers you nothing.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41You've done a Suzanne on the yellow lane.
0:29:41 > 0:29:42Yes. Yeah. Too much there.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45Too much. Needed to rein it in.
0:29:45 > 0:29:46Well, you control a danger zone.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49You can put it anywhere you like on Suzanne's Lane,
0:29:49 > 0:29:51from £100 up to £1,300.
0:29:51 > 0:29:52Where are you going to choose?
0:29:52 > 0:29:57I am going to put it at 850, please, Gabby.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59- 850.- Yeah.- Why?
0:29:59 > 0:30:01I'm hoping it'll put her in two minds.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Does she go for a safe score below that,
0:30:04 > 0:30:07does she go for a higher score above?
0:30:07 > 0:30:11And if she goes for it, I'm hoping she'll go over the edge as well.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15OK. Pulling no punches. Ben, it's going to go on £850.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19So Suzanne, the value of that cash zone drops to zero.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23- You've already hit a danger zone. - I have, yeah.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26- I'd be really unlucky to hit it twice, wouldn't I?- You would.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29- Statistically that shouldn't happen. - Nothing's impossible! LAUGHTER
0:30:29 > 0:30:33- So, Suzanne, are you ready? - Yeah.- Let's roll.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37'And Suzanne has a chance to take the lead
0:30:37 > 0:30:41'and put Ben under some pressure for the first time.'
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Oh, I'm not sure it's got enough.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- Ahhh!- Oh, Suzanne!
0:30:49 > 0:30:53You missed an opportunity, and you score nothing.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56- It's short.- Bottled it.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Ben, too long. Suzanne, too short.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02- Pressure mounting.- Nerves are getting to us.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06So after the first roll, Ben, you have nothing,
0:31:06 > 0:31:09and Suzanne, you have nothing.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11It's like we're starting all over again.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Ben, where are you going to aim for now?
0:31:14 > 0:31:17I think here I just need to get some kind of money in the bank
0:31:17 > 0:31:19to put some pressure on Suzanne.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Very, very lucky there with her rolling short.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24I'd have put my mortgage on her not doing that
0:31:24 > 0:31:26after seeing her in practice.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- Are you ready?- Yes.- Let's roll.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33'Back in the driving seat.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36'Can Ben take his chance?'
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Oh, Ben!
0:31:39 > 0:31:40Ben!
0:31:40 > 0:31:43It's not even dribbled up to the cash zones.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47So if we add that to your previous roll, you have nothing.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50What is going on with the rolling?!
0:31:50 > 0:31:53I know, I just totally lost that.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Ah, dear. Blown it.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59I can't believe you're the man that hit the edge on the blue lane.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01- LAUGHTER - I know. I know. Totally blew it.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03However, Ben,
0:32:03 > 0:32:07you can move that danger zone on Suzanne's lane.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Are you going to do that based on what you just rolled,
0:32:10 > 0:32:11or leave it where it is?
0:32:11 > 0:32:15Given Suzanne's last roll...
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Yeah, let's put a little pressure on.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21Let's bring it down to 550, please.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25OK, we'll take out of 550 from your lane, Suzanne.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28That now has a value of zero.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30You've got to get on the cash zones to be anywhere near that.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- I'm really good at scoring zero. - LAUGHTER
0:32:33 > 0:32:37- You do know that's not the aim of this game?- Oh, right, OK.
0:32:37 > 0:32:42Do you feel you've got any kind of handle on this red lane yet?
0:32:42 > 0:32:43- Yes.- Yeah?- I do, yeah.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- Confident.- Are you starting to feel positive?- Yeah, I am.- OK.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50- Are you going above the danger zone? - Yeah.- Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Let's roll.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55'From the edge to oblivion for Ben.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57'Can Suzanne take advantage?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59'Ben knows he could be in trouble here.'
0:33:01 > 0:33:03It's got a bit more weight behind it.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05It's creeping up the cash zones.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Is it going to stop before the danger zone?
0:33:07 > 0:33:08It just does!
0:33:08 > 0:33:10It stops on £500,
0:33:10 > 0:33:14which we'll add to your previous roll, giving you £500.
0:33:14 > 0:33:15APPLAUSE
0:33:15 > 0:33:17I scored!
0:33:17 > 0:33:19LAUGHTER
0:33:19 > 0:33:20You scored!
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- You were inches away from not scoring.- I know!
0:33:23 > 0:33:27Ben didn't look too happy that you managed to stick on 500.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29He thought his luck was in again.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33After that second roll, Ben, you have nothing, and Suzanne, you have £500.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36APPLAUSE
0:33:36 > 0:33:40It's time for the third and final roll in this round.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Ben, £500 keeps you in the game.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47And then you cross your fingers and you hope for the best.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50But post something much higher up the board,
0:33:50 > 0:33:53and you're still in this with a chance of going through to the final.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56That's right. That's all I can go for, really.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59I've got to push the boat out now, put some pressure on Suzanne
0:33:59 > 0:34:03and just hope that she needs to be going for a score
0:34:03 > 0:34:05near the edge to beat me.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- OK, Ben. Are you ready? - Yeah.- Let's roll.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12'Ben's last roll in this round.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14'He has to make it count.'
0:34:16 > 0:34:18It's got legs.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- Stop, stop, stop...- Is it going to be too hard, or is it going to stop?
0:34:21 > 0:34:23- Oh, Ben, it's too big!- Argh!
0:34:23 > 0:34:26It's too big, and it's rolled over the edge.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28And it is worth nothing.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31And that means your total is nothing.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Ben!
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Yeah, pressure got to me.
0:34:36 > 0:34:37You got the edge.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40I thought you were going to be supreme roller in this game.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42That's what pressure can do to you.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Well, you know now - you can't do anything,
0:34:44 > 0:34:47and Suzanne is definitely going through to the final.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50But you can influence how much money she takes through to the final.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53You can keep that danger zone where it is,
0:34:53 > 0:34:55or based on what you've just rolled, you can move it.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59Let's be nice and give Suzanne the best chance.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Let's move it down to 100.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03- That's very, very generous. - Aw, thank you!
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- APPLAUSE - Best of luck.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Let's move that danger zone down to 100.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11That cash zone is now at zero. Of course, Suzanne,
0:35:11 > 0:35:14you've got to take advantage of the generosity
0:35:14 > 0:35:17that Ben has displayed there by getting onto the cash zones.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20- Got to make it count. - Congratulations as well, Suzanne,
0:35:20 > 0:35:22cos you are going through to the final.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25- Yeah, I'm not quite how that happened!- None of us are.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27LAUGHTER
0:35:27 > 0:35:30- Are you ready?- Yeah.- Let's roll.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33'A very happy Suzanne can't believe her luck.
0:35:33 > 0:35:38'She knows she's into the final, and here's a chance to build her bank.'
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Smooth. I think it's going to get up onto the cash zones.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43It is.
0:35:43 > 0:35:44It's trickling up the board.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50It stops on 800 and gives you a total of £1,300.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53APPLAUSE
0:35:56 > 0:35:59So with the three rolls added together,
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Suzanne has £1,300,
0:36:01 > 0:36:04but Ben earned nothing. That means, Suzanne,
0:36:04 > 0:36:06you take what you've earned through to today's final.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Congratulations, and please return to your podium.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11APPLAUSE
0:36:12 > 0:36:15So, Ben, I'm afraid you earned the least amount of money
0:36:15 > 0:36:18in that round, so you're leaving here with nothing.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22Have you learned anything from this experience you might take forward to your students?
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Yes, don't bottle things under pressure.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26LAUGHTER
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Might be it. I'll tell them that before their exams.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- Ben, thanks so much for playing. - Thank you.- Goodbye.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33APPLAUSE
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Congratulations, Suzanne, you've made it through to the final
0:36:38 > 0:36:41where you'll be playing for all the money you earned today,
0:36:41 > 0:36:43a total of £2,150.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46APPLAUSE
0:36:47 > 0:36:49- Could have been a lot more. - It could.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52I think I'm just lucky to be standing here at all,
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- though, to be honest. - What would you do with that money?
0:36:55 > 0:36:58My husband Martin and I went on honeymoon to South Africa,
0:36:58 > 0:37:01and we're going to take our children back there next year.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04We had such a fantastic experience that we wanted them
0:37:04 > 0:37:06to share that experience as well,
0:37:06 > 0:37:09so if I was able to win some money, it'd give us a real good chance
0:37:09 > 0:37:11to do lots of activities while we were out there as well.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- Taking a safari, maybe?- Yeah, hopefully. That would be great.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18- Be a great experience for the kids as well.- Yeah, it would. - They'll be watching this now
0:37:18 > 0:37:20with their fingers crossed and their toes crossed,
0:37:20 > 0:37:22hoping that mum can pull it off.
0:37:22 > 0:37:27- We wish you the very best of luck. - Thank you.- It's the final.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30And we're shutting down one more lane,
0:37:30 > 0:37:32which leaves only the red lane.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36We've removed the cash values from that lane, leaving only the edge,
0:37:36 > 0:37:38which is now worth all the money you've earned today.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42Stop your ball on the edge and you'll win £2,150.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46APPLAUSE
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Go over the edge and you get nothing.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52But you have a chance to make it easier for yourself by answering some more questions.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55Each correct answer increases the size of your edge.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58The more questions you get right, the bigger your edge will be,
0:37:58 > 0:38:00and the easier your final roll.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04You have 75 seconds to get as many questions right as you can.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06- Is everything clear?- Yes.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Let's put 75 seconds on the clock, and your time will start
0:38:09 > 0:38:12when I've read the first question.

0:39:30 > 0:39:33Just in time, Suzanne! APPLAUSE
0:39:33 > 0:39:36You're out of time, but you answered your last question
0:39:36 > 0:39:39with about a millisecond to spare.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43And I can tell you, it means you have answered seven questions correctly.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45APPLAUSE
0:39:45 > 0:39:48To see what that score has done to the edge,
0:39:48 > 0:39:50let's take to the lanes for the final time.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52APPLAUSE
0:39:56 > 0:39:58- Excellent work there, Suzanne. - Thank you.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02Every one of your correct answers increases the size of your edge.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04So let's put them onto your lane.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06One, two,
0:40:06 > 0:40:09three, four,
0:40:09 > 0:40:12five, six, seven.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14APPLAUSE
0:40:14 > 0:40:17That's a really decent-size edge, Suzanne.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20How confident are you of hitting it?
0:40:20 > 0:40:25Well, after the performance today, I haven't got that much confidence,
0:40:25 > 0:40:29but I'm pleased with the score, and I've got at least a decent chance.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32- Yeah, you've given yourself a really good chance there.- Yeah.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34And you have a choice to make.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37You could roll for the full £2,150 with only one ball
0:40:37 > 0:40:41and one attempt to hit the edge. You could take two balls,
0:40:41 > 0:40:44but that means you'll roll for half the money, £1,075.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Or you could take three balls, three attempts to hit the edge,
0:40:47 > 0:40:49but you'll be playing for a third of the money.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52We're calling that £717.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Very different amounts,
0:40:55 > 0:40:58but does it help when you see them written out like that?
0:40:58 > 0:41:00I think it does, yeah,
0:41:00 > 0:41:03cos I think I need to give myself more than just one chance.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05If I had just one ball and I didn't make it,
0:41:05 > 0:41:08I'd regret not having another go.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11I don't think there's much point going for two balls,
0:41:11 > 0:41:14because the difference between two and three
0:41:14 > 0:41:17is not really that significant in monetary terms,
0:41:17 > 0:41:20but the significance of having an extra go at it
0:41:20 > 0:41:22is really quite significant.
0:41:22 > 0:41:27So on that basis, I think I'm going to go for the three-ball option.
0:41:27 > 0:41:32That's a very clinical assessment of why you're taking three balls.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34- The scientist in you.- That's the scientist in me, yeah.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37That's come out with a very logical decision,
0:41:37 > 0:41:39not a decision based on your gut
0:41:39 > 0:41:41or your kids at home wanting you to go for one ball.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43LAUGHTER
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Wanting me to go home with something!
0:41:46 > 0:41:48So you're going to take three balls
0:41:48 > 0:41:51and roll for £717.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53APPLAUSE
0:41:53 > 0:41:57You've rolled three times on the red lane,
0:41:57 > 0:42:02and two of those three times were inside that edge.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04- Yeah.- The odds are good.
0:42:04 > 0:42:05You'd think so.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10If you're ready, it's time to take on The Edge.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12For £717, let's roll.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26It's big, it's smooth.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Is it going to stop on the edge? Is it going to stop on the edge?
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Is it going to stop on the edge?!
0:42:32 > 0:42:35It is! It's just stopping on the edge!
0:42:35 > 0:42:38APPLAUSE
0:42:38 > 0:42:39Stay there, don't move!
0:42:39 > 0:42:41SHE LAUGHS
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Amazing, amazing roll.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46And if you'd only got one question right, you'd have hit that there.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49That's about £1,300. An incredible roll. If you'd done that a few times earlier,
0:42:49 > 0:42:53- you'd be taking home even more money! - I'm pleased with that. Pleased with something, yeah.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57- I'm glad you're happy.- Thanks.- And that'll go towards some nice treats on that trip to South Africa.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01- That'll be fantastic. Really, really special. Thank you. - We've loved having you here.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05You've made this a real topsy-turvy game, but you've come out on top yourself at the end,
0:43:05 > 0:43:10and you hit your final edge, and you're going home with £717!
0:43:10 > 0:43:13APPLAUSE
0:43:13 > 0:43:15Thank you so much for playing, Suzanne.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17We've loved having you here, and we'll be back next time
0:43:17 > 0:43:20with more new contestants pushing themselves to the edge.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23Why? Because that's how we roll. Bye-bye.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
