0:00:17 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE

0:00:22 > 0:00:27Hello and welcome to The Edge, the show where you need brains and balls.

0:00:27 > 0:00:32Today, our players will compete to roll down these big money cash lanes.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35The nearer they roll to the edge, the more money they earn.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38Stop the ball on their edge and they'll get thousands,

0:00:38 > 0:00:41but go over and they get nothing.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44Let's meet the players who today are going to push themselves to the edge.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46APPLAUSE

0:00:48 > 0:00:50I'm Emma from North London, I work for a local authority.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52I'm very competitive,

0:00:52 > 0:00:54and none of my friends and family will play games with me.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57I'm Ross, I'm a customer relations team manager from Teesside,

0:00:57 > 0:00:59and I used to live in America the five years.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01I'm Natalie and I'm an alumni officer from Selby,

0:01:01 > 0:01:04and I'm currently training for a ten-mile run.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06I'm Jay from Basildon, I'm a construction site manager,

0:01:06 > 0:01:08and I used to do a lot of tenpin bowling.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11APPLAUSE Welcome to you all, and the very best of luck.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17In a moment, you will each take to the lanes to roll for big money.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20The ball you need is trapped in your podium.

0:01:20 > 0:01:24I'm going to ask you some questions. Buzz in with a correct answer...

0:01:24 > 0:01:27and you will bring your ball up towards you.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29Once you've freed your ball,

0:01:29 > 0:01:33you'll roll down the shortest lane available. The shorter the lane...

0:01:33 > 0:01:37the bigger the edge and the better the odds of banking big money.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40So, do well on these questions to give yourself the very best

0:01:40 > 0:01:45advantage on the lanes. Three correct answers will release your ball.

0:01:45 > 0:01:49- Is everyone ready?- Yeah. - Fingers on buzzers.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Eddie Redmayne won the 2015 Best Actor Oscar

0:01:54 > 0:01:56for his portrayal of which scientist? BUZZER

0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Ross.- Stephen Hawking.

0:01:58 > 0:01:59Correct.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03The Flavian Amphitheatre in Rome is better known as what?

0:02:03 > 0:02:06- BUZZER Emma.- The Coliseum.

0:02:06 > 0:02:07Correct.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10Which Roald Dahl book was adapted into a stage musical

0:02:10 > 0:02:12with songs by Tim Minchin... BUZZER

0:02:12 > 0:02:15- And that is Natalie.- Matilda. - Correct.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19In 2015, Steven Gerrard left Liverpool to join which club?

0:02:19 > 0:02:20- BUZZER Ross.- LA Galaxy.

0:02:20 > 0:02:25Correct. Ross, you need one more correct answer to release your ball.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28What type of fish pokes out of the pastry crust

0:02:28 > 0:02:31of a traditional stargazy pie?

0:02:31 > 0:02:33- BUZZER Emma.- Salmon.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35No, incorrect. It is pilchards.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37You are frozen out for this question, Emma.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40If I was performing an experiment using the element

0:02:40 > 0:02:43with the chemical symbol O, which element would I be using?

0:02:43 > 0:02:46- BUZZER Ross.- Oxygen.- Correct!

0:02:47 > 0:02:51Congratulations, you are rolling first on the green lane.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53APPLAUSE

0:02:57 > 0:02:59- Well done, Ross.- Thank you. - That was very quickfire there.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Did that appeal to your general knowledge?

0:03:01 > 0:03:03It did, yes, I knew most of the answers, so...

0:03:03 > 0:03:06Yes, you did, and you were quick, you were quick off the buzzer.

0:03:06 > 0:03:07How is your bowling?

0:03:07 > 0:03:09I did well on this lane in practice,

0:03:09 > 0:03:13but it is a completely different ball game when you are at...

0:03:13 > 0:03:16when you're doing it live, so we will just see.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19- What did you get in practice?- I got a few on the edge.- Did you?- Yes.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21- Are you going for the edge? - Yes, why not?

0:03:21 > 0:03:25OK, if you do hit the edge this time, Ross, it is worth...

0:03:26 > 0:03:29£1,500.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32APPLAUSE

0:03:32 > 0:03:34You'll each have one roll to earn as much as you can,

0:03:34 > 0:03:37and whoever earns the least is leaving us.

0:03:37 > 0:03:42- So, Ross, you think you're going to go for the edge.- Yes.- Best of luck.

0:03:42 > 0:03:43Let's roll.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47'Good afternoon. First to challenge

0:03:47 > 0:03:49'the green lane is Ross from Teesside.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51'It's a bit of a lob.'

0:03:51 > 0:03:53- It's a steady roll, it is a good roll.- Oh.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57And it has stopped on £1,100.

0:03:57 > 0:03:58I'll take that.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00APPLAUSE

0:04:00 > 0:04:03- How do you feel?- Yes, I'm happy with that, I think that will be

0:04:03 > 0:04:06really tough for three other people to beat, so... Confident.

0:04:06 > 0:04:10Strategically, you've positioned yourself well, Ross, you think?

0:04:10 > 0:04:14- I think I do.- Let's see, because three lanes are still up for grabs.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17We've reset the podiums. Fingers on buzzers.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21In 2013, which German-born model became a judge on America's...

0:04:21 > 0:04:22BUZZER

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Which British seaside city features in the title of a 1938

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Graham Greene novel?

0:04:39 > 0:04:41No. It's Brighton.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45Andouillette, bratwurst, and saveloy are all types of what foodstuff?

0:04:45 > 0:04:48- BUZZER Emma.- Sausage.- Correct.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51Emma, you need one more correct answer to release your ball.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53In EastEnders, which actor plays the part of Ian Beale?

0:04:53 > 0:04:56- BUZZER Jay.- Adam Woodyatt.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59Correct. In which country would you find the ancient Mayan city...

0:04:59 > 0:05:01BUZZER Emma.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Mexico.- Correct, it is the Mayan city of Chichen Itza.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Congratulations, you are rolling next on the blue lane.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10APPLAUSE

0:05:13 > 0:05:16- So you've popped your specs on there, Emma.- Yes.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19- Are they vital to your technique? - Yes, I can't see otherwise!

0:05:19 > 0:05:21LAUGHTER

0:05:21 > 0:05:24How did it go in rehearsal when you were having a go on the lanes?

0:05:24 > 0:05:26This was my worst one.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29Oh, OK, there's a psychological barrier there, is there,

0:05:29 > 0:05:33- with the blue lane?- Yes, well, it is worse because he's doing so well.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36He did. He did a very good roll.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38And to guarantee your place in the next round,

0:05:38 > 0:05:42you'll need to roll £1,200 or more.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44- OK.- Of course there's always the edge to go for,

0:05:44 > 0:05:46so where are you going for?

0:05:46 > 0:05:50- I'm going for the edge.- You're going for the edge.- I think I have to.- OK.

0:05:50 > 0:05:54Good, confident, fighting talk. If you are ready, Emma, let's roll.

0:05:56 > 0:06:00'Can super-competitive Emma beat Ross's mighty roll?'

0:06:00 > 0:06:02- It is big.- Oh!

0:06:02 > 0:06:03It is fast.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05It is too fast, it is over the edge,

0:06:05 > 0:06:08and that roll scores you nothing.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14- What went wrong there?- Too fast. - Yeah.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17- I think I just wanted it too much. - Really?

0:06:17 > 0:06:20A little bit of exuberance, a bit of adrenaline flowing through you, Emma.

0:06:20 > 0:06:21Yeah.

0:06:21 > 0:06:25All hope is not lost, though, because we have only two lanes left,

0:06:25 > 0:06:28and which ever one of you releases your ball next

0:06:28 > 0:06:30will roll on the yellow lane, the other will be on the red lane.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32Fingers on buzzers.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36Which Radio 4 soap celebrated its 60th anniversary in...

0:06:36 > 0:06:39- BUZZER Yes, Jay.- The Archers.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43Correct, it was The Archers who celebrated their anniversary in 2011.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45Who wrote The Rocky Horror Show and went on to host...

0:06:45 > 0:06:47- BUZZER Jay.- Richard O'Brien.

0:06:47 > 0:06:52That's correct, Richard O'Brien also went on to host The Crystal Maze.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54One more correct answer and you release your ball.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57What is the common name for the third set of molar teeth

0:06:57 > 0:06:58found in some adults?

0:06:58 > 0:07:00- BUZZER Jay.- Wisdom.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03And your wisdom has released your ball, correct!

0:07:03 > 0:07:04CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:07:04 > 0:07:07Congratulations, you will be rolling next on the yellow lane. Natalie,

0:07:07 > 0:07:09you've been left with the red lane.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12APPLAUSE

0:07:15 > 0:07:18Jay, welcome to the game, that was a late flurry of activity there,

0:07:18 > 0:07:21- wasn't it?- Nerves, I think.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23To guarantee your place in the next round, Jay,

0:07:23 > 0:07:26you only need to reach the cash zone.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29- Is that doable?- That's my tactic. - Yeah?

0:07:29 > 0:07:31- Absolutely.- So you are not bothered where it goes?

0:07:31 > 0:07:34No, just to get in there. As long as it isn't a zero.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Are you ready?- No. - LAUGHTER

0:07:37 > 0:07:41- Yes, yes.- Best of luck, Jay. Let's roll.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44'Jay is a fan of tenpin bowling.

0:07:44 > 0:07:45'Let's put his skills to the test.'

0:07:47 > 0:07:48It's a steady roll.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51- It's not hard enough. - Is it too steady?

0:07:51 > 0:07:52GROANS

0:07:52 > 0:07:55That roll scores you nothing.

0:07:56 > 0:08:00Oh, Jay. And obviously Emma is smiling broadly there

0:08:00 > 0:08:03because that is something of a reprieve for her.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06We will be having a roll-off, at least a two-way roll-off,

0:08:06 > 0:08:10- but, Natalie, you've been left with the red lane...- Yes.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12To guarantee your place in the next round,

0:08:12 > 0:08:14all you've got to do is hit a cash zone.

0:08:14 > 0:08:18Any one from 100 right the way up to the edge.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Where are you aiming for?

0:08:20 > 0:08:24Anywhere, really, because it looks really, really far away from here.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26So, just even if it is on the bottom, that would be great,

0:08:26 > 0:08:28just to get me into the next round.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30And how has your technique been going?

0:08:30 > 0:08:33I did better on the longer lanes earlier,

0:08:33 > 0:08:36I was a bit too gung-ho on the green one.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38So this might play to my advantage, really.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Well, Natalie, you're there, you're in the game,

0:08:40 > 0:08:42all you've got to do is hit a cash zone.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44- If you are ready...- Yep. - ..let's roll.

0:08:46 > 0:08:50'Hit a cash zone and Natalie from Selby is through to the next round.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53- 'It sounds simple.' - Looks a good weight.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56Looks like... Oh, no.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58GROANS

0:08:58 > 0:09:00That scores you nothing.

0:09:00 > 0:09:05So, at the end of the rolls, Ross has £1,100,

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Emma has nothing,

0:09:07 > 0:09:11Jay has nothing, and Natalie has nothing.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14So, Ross, you are definitely through to the next round.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16- Please go back to your podium. - Thank you.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18APPLAUSE

0:09:19 > 0:09:23Emma, Jay, Natalie, to decide who stays and who goes,

0:09:23 > 0:09:25we are going to have a roll-off.

0:09:25 > 0:09:29You stay in your lanes, we've removed the cash values,

0:09:29 > 0:09:32and no money will be earned on this roll.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35You each roll once.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39Whoever is furthest from their edge zone will be going out.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Is that clear?- Mm-hm.

0:09:42 > 0:09:46Pick up your balls, please, and you will all roll on my command.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49So, if you are ready...

0:09:49 > 0:09:54In three, two, one, let's roll.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56'We've got a busy roll-off here.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59'All three hoping to bag a place in the next round.'

0:10:01 > 0:10:04Oh, that looks big, Emma, but it could be the right thing to do.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Oh!

0:10:08 > 0:10:09Well.

0:10:09 > 0:10:13Natalie and Jay, you got closest to the edge,

0:10:13 > 0:10:15you're through to the next round.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17Please return to your podium.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19APPLAUSE

0:10:21 > 0:10:23Emma, if you had done that in your first roll,

0:10:23 > 0:10:25you'd be standing at the podium now.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28- Unfortunately, it just wasn't good enough there.- Yes.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Well, I'm afraid, Emma, you're leaving here with nothing.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34- Thanks so much for playing. - Thank you.- Goodbye.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37APPLAUSE

0:10:39 > 0:10:41Congratulations, Ross, Natalie, and Jay.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43You are through to the next round.

0:10:43 > 0:10:47Ross, you work with people moaning and complaining all the time.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Yes, I'm a complaints team manager for a bank, basically.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53So the most irate customers usually end up with my team, and then

0:10:53 > 0:10:56if they're even more irate, then they end up with me sometimes.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00- You just pass them on if you're having a bad day.- No, no.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02It helps, though, because it is quite a lot of pressure

0:11:02 > 0:11:06that they try and put you under, so it kind of helps in this situation.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09Oh, you think your work is actually giving you a good head for

0:11:09 > 0:11:13- this competitive environment?- I think so, yes.- Well, it is working so far.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16Natalie, you're an alumni officer. Just explain what that is.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19Basically, I do a lot of events organisation

0:11:19 > 0:11:23for former pupils that have left my school now.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27So I organise events all around the country, in various different

0:11:27 > 0:11:30places, and just try get them all back together again.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34- Any famous alumni?- Our most famous is actually dead now.

0:11:34 > 0:11:38- It is Guy Fawkes.- Oh, OK. He's not coming to any parties, then.- No.

0:11:38 > 0:11:42- Especially around November. Don't invite him.- He's off the guest list.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45He was a blast, I hear, when he was at school. Jay. LAUGHTER

0:11:45 > 0:11:48I think we saw a little bit of your tenpin bowling technique

0:11:48 > 0:11:52on your second roll there. Is it helping you, do you think?

0:11:52 > 0:11:54- Not at all.- No?- No.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57- Totally different. - Really?- Yeah. I underestimated it.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Oh, so you thought that would be an advantage coming into today?

0:12:00 > 0:12:04- No, it's no advantage whatsoever. - You've got to retrain yourself.- Yes.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07OK, you did pretty well there, and you are here.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10And the money that you've earned is added to your personal bank,

0:12:10 > 0:12:14which means, Ross, you have £1,100,

0:12:14 > 0:12:17Natalie and Jay, you have nothing.

0:12:17 > 0:12:21But only one of you can reach today's final and play for the money you've

0:12:21 > 0:12:25banked, which so far is just you, Ross, in terms of money banked.

0:12:25 > 0:12:26It is Round Two.

0:12:28 > 0:12:32And we are shutting down the shortest lane.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34And now we are introducing danger zones.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36Which means any of the cash

0:12:36 > 0:12:41from £100 all the way to £1,300 could become a danger zone.

0:12:41 > 0:12:45If that happens, its value drops to zero.

0:12:45 > 0:12:46How many danger zones you face

0:12:46 > 0:12:49depends on how well you do in the questions.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Release your ball first and not only will you take the shortest lane

0:12:52 > 0:12:55with the biggest edge, but you'll have no danger zones.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58This time, you will need to answer four questions correctly

0:12:58 > 0:13:02to release your ball. So, fingers on buzzers.

0:13:02 > 0:13:06In what month do we turn the clocks back an hour in the UK?

0:13:06 > 0:13:07BUZZER

0:13:07 > 0:13:09- Ross.- October.- Correct.

0:13:09 > 0:13:13What is the name of the desert in which the city of Las Vegas...

0:13:13 > 0:13:15- BUZZER is located in? Yes, Jay.- Nevada.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18Incorrect, Jay, I'm afraid, you are frozen out of the next question.

0:13:18 > 0:13:19It was the Mojave Desert.

0:13:19 > 0:13:232014 marked how many years since the outbreak of the First World War?

0:13:23 > 0:13:25- BUZZER Natalie.- 100.- Correct.

0:13:26 > 0:13:30The fraction one into 20 is the equivalent of what percentage?

0:13:30 > 0:13:31BUZZER Ross.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Five.- Correct.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37What is the name of the Pope who was inaugurated on March 19, 2013?

0:13:39 > 0:13:40BUZZER

0:13:40 > 0:13:42- Natalie.- Francis.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45Pope Francis, correct.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47".aq" is the web address country code

0:13:47 > 0:13:49belonging to which continent?

0:13:49 > 0:13:52- BUZZER Jay.- Asia.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55Incorrect. It is Antarctica, you are frozen out.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58If I was flying the famous Millennium Falcon,

0:13:58 > 0:14:00which film franchise would I... BUZZER

0:14:00 > 0:14:03- Natalie.- Star Wars.- Correct.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06Natalie, you need one more correct answer to release your ball.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09Which embroidery, approximately 70 metres long,

0:14:09 > 0:14:11depicts the Norman conquest... BUZZER

0:14:11 > 0:14:13- Natalie.- The Bayeux Tapestry.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Correct, congratulations.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18You're rolling first on the blue lane.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20APPLAUSE

0:14:24 > 0:14:27OK, well, your general knowledge has won you the biggest edge

0:14:27 > 0:14:30and no danger zones.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32- So you have a clear run at it.- Yeah.

0:14:32 > 0:14:36Looking at the edge there, it's a lot closer than the red.

0:14:36 > 0:14:41- Are you going to go for it?- I think I can go for it a bit more.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44I just need to make sure I land on the money.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47- Yeah, you came up short last time. - I did, I came up way too short.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50So what's your technique this time?

0:14:50 > 0:14:52Just try not to overthink it, I think.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55And be a bit more precise, hopefully.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58Well, get your ball on the edge in this round, Natalie,

0:14:58 > 0:15:00and it is worth...

0:15:00 > 0:15:02£2,000.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05APPLAUSE

0:15:05 > 0:15:08You each have two rolls, which will be added together,

0:15:08 > 0:15:11and whoever earns the least is leaving us.

0:15:11 > 0:15:15So, give me a figure, then, Natalie, where are you hoping to land?

0:15:15 > 0:15:20Somewhere round about 1,000 would be ideal for this round.

0:15:20 > 0:15:24- That'd be nice. OK, Natalie, are you ready?- Yes.- Let's roll.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29'Facing the blue lane, Natalie is aiming for a high score

0:15:29 > 0:15:31'to put early pressure on the boys.'

0:15:33 > 0:15:35It's quite big,

0:15:35 > 0:15:36is it going to be too big? No.

0:15:36 > 0:15:42And that roll scores you £1,000. APPLAUSE

0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Natalie, you are a woman who means business.- Yes!

0:15:45 > 0:15:46You said you wanted 1,000.

0:15:46 > 0:15:50- This is fantastic. You say you want something and you get it.- Yeah.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52- Pretty good. And you've still got another roll.- Yes.

0:15:52 > 0:15:57But first, there are two lanes left, and we've reset the podiums.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00Whichever of you releases your ball next will roll in the yellow lane,

0:16:00 > 0:16:02the other will be left with the red lane,

0:16:02 > 0:16:05and you'll both be facing danger zones.

0:16:05 > 0:16:06Fingers on buzzers.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09Which TV sketch show featured the catchphrase,

0:16:09 > 0:16:11"It's goodnight from me and goodnight..."

0:16:11 > 0:16:13- Jay?- Two Ronnies.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15That's right. The Two Ronnies' catchphrase,

0:16:15 > 0:16:18"It's goodnight from me, and it's goodnight from him."

0:16:18 > 0:16:23What alcohol is usually used to make a traditional Moscow Mule cocktail?

0:16:23 > 0:16:25- Ross?- Vodka.

0:16:25 > 0:16:26Correct.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30The TV shows Life on Mars and Ashes To Ashes

0:16:30 > 0:16:32are named after songs by which artist?

0:16:32 > 0:16:34- Jay.- David Bowie.

0:16:34 > 0:16:35Correct.

0:16:35 > 0:16:39On which course did the British Open Golf Championships

0:16:39 > 0:16:41take place in July 2015?

0:16:41 > 0:16:42- Jay.- St Andrews.

0:16:42 > 0:16:43Correct.

0:16:43 > 0:16:47One more correct answer, Jay, and you'll release your ball next.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50In 2006 Stephen Harper became prime minister of which country?

0:16:50 > 0:16:52- Ross.- Australia.

0:16:52 > 0:16:53Incorrect, it's Canada.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56You're frozen out of this next question.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59So, just for you, Jay, you don't have to answer if you don't want to.

0:16:59 > 0:17:04What term is normally used for a sphere bearing a map of the Earth?

0:17:04 > 0:17:05- Jay.- Globe.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08Correct. APPLAUSE

0:17:08 > 0:17:13And congratulations, you are rolling next on the yellow lane.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16Ross, you're rolling on the red lane. APPLAUSE

0:17:21 > 0:17:25Jay, you're familiar with the yellow lane now, aren't you?

0:17:25 > 0:17:27Er... Not very familiar.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29Well, I don't know.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31You've had one disappointing experience

0:17:31 > 0:17:32and one quite good experience.

0:17:32 > 0:17:36- So, have you got the measure of this lane?- Hopefully.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38Well, Jay, you're going to be facing one danger zone,

0:17:38 > 0:17:42and before you roll we need to find out where your danger zone will be.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44It's moving up and down the lane

0:17:44 > 0:17:48and it'll stop when you hit that button there. Good luck.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52£700 has gone from your lane,

0:17:52 > 0:17:54is replaced with zero.

0:17:54 > 0:17:58- How are you feeling about that, Jay?- Not good.

0:17:58 > 0:17:59I wanted it a bit closer.

0:17:59 > 0:18:03Does that mean you're going to have to be a bit more aggressive

0:18:03 > 0:18:06- and go over 700, or are you going to...?- I'm going to try.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08- Yeah?- Yeah.- OK.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10If you are ready, Jay, let's roll.

0:18:11 > 0:18:16'Jay is not happy with his danger zone, but he's got to see past it.'

0:18:17 > 0:18:20It looks like a good weight. Is it too much?

0:18:20 > 0:18:24No, I think it's going to be good. I think it's going to be good.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27It is. That's £850. APPLAUSE

0:18:31 > 0:18:37- Relief?- Yes. Very much so. - Much better than last time.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39Well, Ross, you're left with the red lane.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42You've moved from green up here, which is now out of use,

0:18:42 > 0:18:44- right down there to red.- I know.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47And that means you will face two danger zones.

0:18:47 > 0:18:52So before you roll, we need to find out where those danger zones will be.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54They're racing up and down the lane.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57You have to press the button, and when you do they'll stop.

0:18:57 > 0:18:58Good luck.

0:19:01 > 0:19:06So, £850 and £650 have gone.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08They are replaced with zero.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10What are you thinking about where you've stopped?

0:19:10 > 0:19:13It's a nightmare, because I was kind of aiming for the middle ground

0:19:13 > 0:19:14because I am so far away.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17The fact that there's two there, it's not good at all.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20- So, you were going to be rolling to the middle?- Yeah.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22- And now you're going to have to avoid the middle.- Yeah.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25You're going to have to go above or below, so what are you thinking?

0:19:25 > 0:19:28I'm going to have to try and beat...

0:19:28 > 0:19:30Well, go for as much as possible

0:19:30 > 0:19:32without falling over the edge, to be honest.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35OK. Best of luck, Ross. If you are ready, let's roll.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39'With double danger zones to dodge,

0:19:39 > 0:19:41'Ross needs to try and roll with some accuracy.'

0:19:43 > 0:19:46It's a big one. It's a big one.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48It's not bad, it's not bad.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51That's £550.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54APPLAUSE

0:19:55 > 0:19:58So, you didn't get over, but you were under,

0:19:58 > 0:20:00so that's better, that's safer.

0:20:00 > 0:20:04I thought it was going to go to that bottom zero, to be honest,

0:20:04 > 0:20:06so I am just relieved to get something out of that.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09- Slightly different technique this time.- Yeah, definitely.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12Is that the distance that has kind of made you a little bit

0:20:12 > 0:20:13unsure about how you have to roll it?

0:20:13 > 0:20:16To be honest, my roll wasn't good. I could tell as soon as I rolled it.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19I thought it was going to be short, so...

0:20:19 > 0:20:21OK, well, before everyone rolls again,

0:20:21 > 0:20:23let's look at what you've earned so far.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25Natalie, you are on £1,000,

0:20:25 > 0:20:27Jay, you are on £850,

0:20:27 > 0:20:29and Ross, you have £550.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33APPLAUSE

0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Natalie, you have the biggest amount in the bank.- Yes.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39You've done the best, but you are only guaranteed

0:20:39 > 0:20:43to go through to the next round if you hit the edge.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45It's making me slightly nervous.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48I mean, I know I've got an advantage having the shorter lane,

0:20:48 > 0:20:51but these guys can roll really well,

0:20:51 > 0:20:54so yeah, it is putting the pressure on me, definitely.

0:20:54 > 0:20:55Where are you aiming for?

0:20:55 > 0:20:59- £1,000.- Are you ready?- Yes, I am. - Good luck, Natalie, let's roll.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01Thank you.

0:21:01 > 0:21:02'Natalie's in the lead.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08'She approaches and eyes up her target.'

0:21:08 > 0:21:11It's big, it's big.

0:21:11 > 0:21:15Is it going to the edge? Is it going to the edge?

0:21:15 > 0:21:18£1,200, and we add that to your previous roll,

0:21:18 > 0:21:20which gives you a total of £2,200.

0:21:20 > 0:21:24APPLAUSE

0:21:24 > 0:21:26It's not guaranteed, but it is a strong score,

0:21:26 > 0:21:29- it puts you in a brilliant position, Natalie.- Yes.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31And you looked very worried for most of that roll.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33I just daren't even look, really.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36- How are you feeling right now? - I feel...

0:21:36 > 0:21:40- I feel much easier, yeah. - Confident?- Quietly confident.

0:21:40 > 0:21:44OK, well, the danger zones remain where they are, so Jay,

0:21:44 > 0:21:50your danger zone sits there right in the middle on £700.

0:21:50 > 0:21:55- Where are you going to aim for this time?- Hopefully 1,000, 1,100 area.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58I'd like to think.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01Only the edge can guarantee you go through to the next round

0:22:01 > 0:22:03and put pressure on Ross.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06- But that would increase Ross's anxiety, no doubt...- Hopefully!

0:22:06 > 0:22:09..if you got yourself right up there.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12- OK, Jay, are you ready?- Yes.

0:22:12 > 0:22:13Let's roll.

0:22:14 > 0:22:18'Jay needs to try and bring some consistency to his rolls.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20'Can he hit the high figure he wants?'

0:22:22 > 0:22:25It's a low roll.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28- It's going slowly. Slowly.- Oh, dear.

0:22:28 > 0:22:32£400 added to your previous amount

0:22:32 > 0:22:36gives you a total of £1,250. APPLAUSE

0:22:39 > 0:22:42Well, it wasn't near the 1,000.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45- It was safe-ish.- A couple of zeros. - Yeah.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48You've obviously left Ross with something to do,

0:22:48 > 0:22:52- but do you think it is doable for him?- Yeah, he should be all right.

0:22:52 > 0:22:56- Well, hopefully not. We'll see. - In the nicest possible way! LAUGHTER

0:22:56 > 0:22:59I know what you are saying, Jay. Well, let's see.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02Ross, you still have two danger zones there.

0:23:02 > 0:23:07£750 or more, avoiding that 850, of course, which is a danger zone,

0:23:07 > 0:23:09would see you through.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12- You've got to get over your first danger zone.- Yeah.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15And then, really, to be safe,

0:23:15 > 0:23:18- you want to get over that second danger zone.- Absolutely.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20So what are you going for?

0:23:20 > 0:23:21Just exactly what you said -

0:23:21 > 0:23:24past both danger zones and safely through.

0:23:24 > 0:23:28- After that, I don't mind.- It's got to be big, then.- Yeah, definitely.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30OK, Ross. Are you ready?

0:23:30 > 0:23:33- I am, yes.- Let's roll.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36'Ross has a challenge on his hands.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39'He needs to aim high to stay in the game.'

0:23:41 > 0:23:44It's big. Is it too big?

0:23:45 > 0:23:49It looks good, it looks...

0:23:49 > 0:23:51- Oh, wow!- Yes!

0:23:51 > 0:23:52Ross, well done! £900.

0:23:55 > 0:24:00Added to your previous total, gives you £1,450.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03- You did exactly what you said you had to do.- Just.

0:24:03 > 0:24:09And so, with the two rolls added together, Natalie, you have £2,200,

0:24:09 > 0:24:11Ross, you have £1,450,

0:24:11 > 0:24:14and Jay, you have £1,250,

0:24:14 > 0:24:17which means Ross and Natalie, you are going through to the next round,

0:24:17 > 0:24:19please return to your podium.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21APPLAUSE

0:24:21 > 0:24:27Unfortunately, Jay, you earned the least amount of money in that round,

0:24:27 > 0:24:29so you're leaving here with nothing.

0:24:29 > 0:24:36- And your tenpin bowling didn't really help you at all, did?- Not at all.

0:24:36 > 0:24:37We've loved having you here, Jay.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39- I'm sorry you're going home with nothing.- Thank you.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41Thanks for playing. Goodbye.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43APPLAUSE

0:24:45 > 0:24:49Congratulations, Ross and Natalie, you are through to the next round.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51Ross, what do you do in your spare time?

0:24:51 > 0:24:53Well, when I have a weekend free to myself,

0:24:53 > 0:24:56me and my boyfriend, we are both members of English Heritage,

0:24:56 > 0:24:59so we just like to go and experience a lot of the old medieval history

0:24:59 > 0:25:01and go to the castles when we can.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04There's been a couple of questions about history,

0:25:04 > 0:25:06I haven't known the answers,

0:25:06 > 0:25:07so it hasn't done me much good so far.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10- You haven't visited the right castles yet.- No, no.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14- Natalie, you are a fit lass, aren't you?- I'm getting there, anyway.

0:25:14 > 0:25:15You do a lot of running.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18Yeah, I'm doing a lot of training at the minute.

0:25:18 > 0:25:22I do a park run every Saturday, which is a 5K timed run, so that's

0:25:22 > 0:25:25helping me build up my fitness for my ten-mile run that I'm doing.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27And today you've been the most consistent

0:25:27 > 0:25:32and successful roller, as well. I wonder if your fitness is paying off.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35Maybe it's the kettle bells, on these arms.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37- The guns are working well!- Yeah!

0:25:37 > 0:25:41OK, well, the money you've earned is added to your personal bank,

0:25:41 > 0:25:47so, Ross, you now have £2,550 and Natalie, you have £2,200.

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.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58And we're shutting down another lane.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01In this round there's only one danger zone

0:26:01 > 0:26:04and the player to release their ball first will control it

0:26:04 > 0:26:07and can place it anywhere on their opponent's lane.

0:26:07 > 0:26:11You'll need to answer five questions correctly to release your ball.

0:26:11 > 0:26:16- Is everything clear? - Yes.- Yes.- Fingers on buzzers.

0:26:16 > 0:26:19Which is the only US state whose name contains the letter J?

0:26:20 > 0:26:22- New Jersey.- Correct.

0:26:22 > 0:26:26Which legendary British king supposedly gained the throne

0:26:26 > 0:26:29when he pulled a sword from a stone?

0:26:29 > 0:26:31- King Arthur.- Correct.

0:26:31 > 0:26:35If I performed the magic spell Lumos, from Harry Potter,

0:26:35 > 0:26:38and it actually worked, what would my wand have produced?

0:26:38 > 0:26:40- Light.- Correct.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43Who did Chris Evans replace as the regular presenter

0:26:43 > 0:26:46of the Radio 2 Breakfast Show?

0:26:46 > 0:26:49- Chris Moyles?- No, that's incorrect. It was Terry Wogan.

0:26:49 > 0:26:51You're frozen out of the next question.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53Just for you, Ross - if I had three dozen eggs,

0:26:53 > 0:26:55what number of eggs would I have?

0:26:56 > 0:26:58- 36.- Correct.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00You're back in the game, Natalie.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03What is the floral emblem of Scotland?

0:27:03 > 0:27:05- The thistle.- Correct.

0:27:06 > 0:27:10You need one more correct answer, Ross, to release your ball first.

0:27:10 > 0:27:14Who sang the opening line in the original 1984 version

0:27:14 > 0:27:16of Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas?

0:27:18 > 0:27:19Bono?

0:27:19 > 0:27:21No, incorrect. It was Paul Young.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23You're frozen out of the next question.

0:27:23 > 0:27:25A chance for you to get in the game, Natalie.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28Which British politician became known as the Milk Snatcher

0:27:28 > 0:27:30for abolishing free school milk?

0:27:30 > 0:27:32- Margaret Thatcher.- Correct.

0:27:32 > 0:27:34You're back in the game, Ross.

0:27:34 > 0:27:39In which country does the poetry form haiku originate?

0:27:39 > 0:27:41- Japan.- Correct.

0:27:41 > 0:27:46And you've released your ball first. You'll be rolling on the yellow lane.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49Natalie, you've been left with the red lane.

0:27:49 > 0:27:50APPLAUSE

0:27:55 > 0:27:58Get your ball on the edge in this round and it's worth...

0:27:58 > 0:28:01£3,000!

0:28:01 > 0:28:03AUDIENCE: Ooooh!

0:28:03 > 0:28:04APPLAUSE

0:28:04 > 0:28:08You have three rolls, which will be added together, and whoever

0:28:08 > 0:28:11earns the most money in this round will go through to the final.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14Ross, you're going to roll first.

0:28:14 > 0:28:17And yet another new lane for you to have a go on. I know!

0:28:17 > 0:28:18I'm a right lane-hopper!

0:28:18 > 0:28:20What's the technique this time?

0:28:20 > 0:28:24Well, considering the edge is 3,000, try and get as close as possible,

0:28:24 > 0:28:26if not TO the edge.

0:28:26 > 0:28:30- Allowing for a bit of a margin of error.- OK. Are you ready?- Yes.

0:28:30 > 0:28:33- Best of luck.- Thanks.- Let's roll.

0:28:37 > 0:28:38Ross favours the high lob.

0:28:41 > 0:28:43- Big bounce!- Oh, it's big! It's big!

0:28:45 > 0:28:48But it looks good. It looks really good.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51APPLAUSE It is! That earned you £1,200!

0:28:54 > 0:28:57Well, it's not what I'd call a beautiful technique, Ross,

0:28:57 > 0:29:00- but it's a successful technique, isn't it?- Yeah, I've done OK.

0:29:00 > 0:29:02I'm pretty happy with that.

0:29:02 > 0:29:05I think that's the highest amount I've scored so far.

0:29:05 > 0:29:07It is, and you always make me quite nervous

0:29:07 > 0:29:10cos when the ball leaves your hand it looks like it might go anywhere,

0:29:10 > 0:29:13but it always seems to find itself fairly high up the zones.

0:29:13 > 0:29:16- It's all methodical.- I'm sure. I'm sure there's huge technique

0:29:16 > 0:29:18going on there behind it.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20Well, you control a danger zone now

0:29:20 > 0:29:22and you can put it anywhere you like on Natalie's lane

0:29:22 > 0:29:25from 100 up to £1,300.

0:29:25 > 0:29:27Where are you going to go?

0:29:27 > 0:29:31Let's have a think... I think 950 would be a good place to start.

0:29:31 > 0:29:33Any reason?

0:29:33 > 0:29:36To beat me, she's going to have to do a really ambitious ball,

0:29:36 > 0:29:39but if she does a banker, it would end up being a lot lower

0:29:39 > 0:29:41because if she does it too fast

0:29:41 > 0:29:43she'll end up with 900 and on the zero.

0:29:43 > 0:29:48So, £950 is lost from your lane, Natalie.

0:29:49 > 0:29:53So, Ross's thinking is that you won't go above 950

0:29:53 > 0:29:55for fear of going over the edge.

0:29:55 > 0:30:00He's kind of forced my hand now by landing 1,200. I've got to go high.

0:30:00 > 0:30:05You're going over 950. You're looking for 1,000 up to the edge.

0:30:05 > 0:30:10Let's see how you do. Best of luck, Natalie. Let's roll.

0:30:12 > 0:30:16Natalie's proven she can hit four figures, but can she do it again?

0:30:21 > 0:30:23Is it going to be too much?

0:30:23 > 0:30:24Is it going over...

0:30:24 > 0:30:26It's slowing down... AUDIENCE GROANS

0:30:26 > 0:30:28Oh... AUDIENCE: Ohhhh!

0:30:28 > 0:30:30That roll scores you nothing.

0:30:32 > 0:30:36So, after the first roll, Ross, you have £1,200,

0:30:36 > 0:30:39and Natalie, you have nothing.

0:30:39 > 0:30:43Ross, you breathed a huge sigh of relief there

0:30:43 > 0:30:45- when Natalie went over the edge. - Yeah.

0:30:45 > 0:30:48It gives me a lot of breathing space, that does.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50- Your tactic worked, didn't it?- Yeah.

0:30:50 > 0:30:53I thought it was going to land on the edge for a while,

0:30:53 > 0:30:55but luckily for me it went over.

0:30:55 > 0:30:59But it's a tiny edge on the red lane. Your edge is a bit bigger.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01Is it time for you to start going for the edge?

0:31:01 > 0:31:02I've got a bit of breathing space,

0:31:02 > 0:31:06so hopefully a very similar ball this time will get me there.

0:31:06 > 0:31:11- If you do hit that edge, it's worth £3,000. Are you ready?- I am.

0:31:11 > 0:31:12Let's roll.

0:31:14 > 0:31:17Ross is aiming for the edge this time.

0:31:17 > 0:31:19Will his high lob take him there?

0:31:22 > 0:31:24Oh, it's big...

0:31:24 > 0:31:25Is it going to slow down?

0:31:25 > 0:31:27AUDIENCE GROANS

0:31:27 > 0:31:28Oh, no!

0:31:28 > 0:31:32Well, that means if we add that to your previous roll

0:31:32 > 0:31:37- you're still on £1,200. A bit too much that time.- Definitely.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40I threw away a really good chance there.

0:31:40 > 0:31:42Too much oomph on it, I think, Ross,

0:31:42 > 0:31:46and you've left things wide open now for Natalie. So you've got a choice.

0:31:46 > 0:31:50Are you going to keep that danger zone where it is, on £950,

0:31:50 > 0:31:52or are you going to move it?

0:31:52 > 0:31:56I'm going to move it up to 1,100, please.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58You're being quite tricky now, aren't you?

0:31:58 > 0:32:01She has to beat that to level the score with me, so...

0:32:01 > 0:32:05- If she wants to go ahead of you, she had to really take on the edge.- Yeah.

0:32:05 > 0:32:11Natalie, 1,100 is now removed from your lane and it's worth nothing.

0:32:13 > 0:32:15- You didn't like that, did you?- No!

0:32:17 > 0:32:19It makes your task even more difficult.

0:32:19 > 0:32:22It's certainly piling on the pressure, I think,

0:32:22 > 0:32:25- to what is already a tricky task. - So what are you going to do?

0:32:25 > 0:32:28Well, I can't afford to be conservative -

0:32:28 > 0:32:29I think it's all or nothing.

0:32:29 > 0:32:32So just do my best for the edge, really.

0:32:32 > 0:32:35Best of luck. Let's roll.

0:32:36 > 0:32:39Natalie's last roll was just a little too strong.

0:32:39 > 0:32:42She needs to pull back on this roll to bank some money.

0:32:45 > 0:32:47It's a good weight.

0:32:47 > 0:32:49You're into the cash zones.

0:32:52 > 0:32:57£750! We add that to your previous total, giving you £750!

0:32:57 > 0:32:59APPLAUSE

0:32:59 > 0:33:01So, after the second roll, Ross,

0:33:01 > 0:33:05you are on £1,200 and Natalie, you are on £750!

0:33:05 > 0:33:07APPLAUSE

0:33:07 > 0:33:11Well, the essence of this, Ross, is you've got to stay ahead of Natalie.

0:33:11 > 0:33:13You've got to put pressure on her.

0:33:13 > 0:33:16You're only £450 ahead at the moment. What are you thinking?

0:33:16 > 0:33:19Just try my best to replicate the first one,

0:33:19 > 0:33:21to put as much pressure on Natalie as possible.

0:33:21 > 0:33:26- OK. Are you ready?- Yeah.- Let's roll.

0:33:28 > 0:33:30Can Ross maintain the lead here?

0:33:30 > 0:33:34He needs to replicate his first roll and reach the four figures.

0:33:36 > 0:33:38It's big. Is it too big?

0:33:38 > 0:33:40AUDIENCE GROANS

0:33:40 > 0:33:42Oh...

0:33:42 > 0:33:44We add that to what you've already earned

0:33:44 > 0:33:48and your total is still £1,200.

0:33:48 > 0:33:50I don't know what happened there.

0:33:50 > 0:33:55Well, all is not lost - you're still ahead of Natalie by £450.

0:33:55 > 0:33:57And you've got a decision to make.

0:33:57 > 0:34:00Do you want to keep that danger zone where it is

0:34:00 > 0:34:04or, based on what you've just rolled, are you thinking of moving it?

0:34:04 > 0:34:08- On the 850, please. - On the 850?- Yes.- Why 850?

0:34:08 > 0:34:11Because it's in the middle of the zone where she can roll into,

0:34:11 > 0:34:13so it'll put pressure on her either way

0:34:13 > 0:34:16if she wants to go underneath or above that marker.

0:34:16 > 0:34:20OK, so, Natalie, £850 is taken out.

0:34:20 > 0:34:22That's worth nothing.

0:34:22 > 0:34:29You need a roll of £500 to guarantee you go through to the next round.

0:34:29 > 0:34:32- 450 would put you level. There'd be a roll-off.- OK.

0:34:32 > 0:34:38And now 850 is out of the game. OK, well, you want to stay below it?

0:34:38 > 0:34:44- No, I want to go above it. - Above it?- Yeah, definitely.

0:34:44 > 0:34:48- Natalie, your final roll of this round. Are you ready?- Yes, I am.

0:34:48 > 0:34:49Let's roll.

0:34:50 > 0:34:53It's all in Natalie's hands.

0:34:53 > 0:34:55Ross knows he's in trouble.

0:34:55 > 0:34:58Roll £500 or more and she's in the final.

0:34:59 > 0:35:01It's a good weight.

0:35:01 > 0:35:07It looks very good. It's not going to land there, is it?

0:35:07 > 0:35:09It is! It's on the danger zone.

0:35:09 > 0:35:10AUDIENCE GROANS

0:35:10 > 0:35:13Oh, Natalie!

0:35:13 > 0:35:15Well, of course, that means you score nothing and we add that

0:35:15 > 0:35:19to your previous total which means you're still on £750.

0:35:19 > 0:35:23The danger zone was moved to £850 and that is exactly where you landed.

0:35:23 > 0:35:26I couldn't do that again if I tried!

0:35:26 > 0:35:29No. It was tactically brilliant from you, it looks like, Ross.

0:35:29 > 0:35:32If we have a little look at the three rolls added together,

0:35:32 > 0:35:36Ross has earned £1,200, Natalie £750.

0:35:36 > 0:35:39That means Ross, you take what you've earned to today's final.

0:35:39 > 0:35:43Congratulations. And, please, make your way to the podium.

0:35:45 > 0:35:46APPLAUSE

0:35:46 > 0:35:49Natalie, you earned the least amount in that round there

0:35:49 > 0:35:53so I'm afraid you're going to be leaving us with nothing today.

0:35:53 > 0:35:55Thanks for playing. Goodbye.

0:35:56 > 0:36:00APPLAUSE

0:36:00 > 0:36:02Congratulations. You've made it through to the final, Ross,

0:36:02 > 0:36:05where you're playing for all the money you've earned today.

0:36:05 > 0:36:07A total of £3,750.

0:36:07 > 0:36:09CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:36:09 > 0:36:11Not bad!

0:36:11 > 0:36:12Not bad. Not bad at all, Ross.

0:36:12 > 0:36:14What would you do with that?

0:36:14 > 0:36:16It's always been a kind of dream of mine as a little kid

0:36:16 > 0:36:19watching Japanese cartoons to go to Japan.

0:36:19 > 0:36:20So I kind of want to go there,

0:36:20 > 0:36:23do the five-star experience, which someone like me can't ever do.

0:36:23 > 0:36:26Climb Mount Fuji, eat sushi in Tokyo. That kind of stuff.

0:36:26 > 0:36:29And are you a big sushi fan here? Do you like Japanese food?

0:36:29 > 0:36:32Well, I'm a vegetarian, but they do vegetarian sushi, so...

0:36:32 > 0:36:35- Absolutely. - And they do teppanyaki.

0:36:35 > 0:36:37You were into Japanese cartoons as a kid?

0:36:37 > 0:36:38Yeah, all the, you know...

0:36:38 > 0:36:41Pokemon and Digimon and all that kind of stuff

0:36:41 > 0:36:42that a boy likes at that age.

0:36:42 > 0:36:45- Yeah, that sparked your interest? - Definitely.

0:36:45 > 0:36:49OK, well, let's see what we can do, Ross. It's the final.

0:36:50 > 0:36:52We are shutting down one more lane.

0:36:54 > 0:36:56It leaves only the red lane.

0:36:56 > 0:37:00We've removed the cash values from that lane leaving only the edge,

0:37:00 > 0:37:03which is now worth all the money you've earned today.

0:37:03 > 0:37:07Stop your ball on the edge in the final and you'll win £3,750.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11APPLAUSE

0:37:11 > 0:37:13Go over the edge and you get nothing.

0:37:13 > 0:37:16But you have a chance to make it easier for yourself

0:37:16 > 0:37:18by answering some more questions.

0:37:18 > 0:37:22Each correct answer increases the size of the edge.

0:37:22 > 0:37:24The more questions you get right, the bigger the edge will be

0:37:24 > 0:37:27and the easier your final roll.

0:37:27 > 0:37:31You have 75 seconds to get as many right as you can.

0:37:31 > 0:37:32- Everything clear?- Yeah.

0:37:32 > 0:37:35Let's put 75 seconds on the clock and your time will start

0:37:35 > 0:37:39when I've read the first question. Best of luck.

0:37:39 > 0:37:43Charles Babbage is best known for inventing an early version of what?

0:38:45 > 0:38:48If I were at the coronation of Elizabeth II,

0:38:48 > 0:38:50what decade would it be?

0:38:50 > 0:38:51The '40s?

0:38:54 > 0:38:56of which common citrus fruit?

0:38:56 > 0:38:58Apple.

0:38:58 > 0:38:59No, it's grapefruit.

0:38:59 > 0:39:04Time is up, and you answered two questions correctly.

0:39:04 > 0:39:06- You're shaking your head. - Shocking.

0:39:06 > 0:39:09Well, to see what that score has done to the edge,

0:39:09 > 0:39:12let's take to the lanes for the final time.

0:39:12 > 0:39:15APPLAUSE

0:39:17 > 0:39:20Every one of your correct answers increases the size of your edge

0:39:20 > 0:39:23so let's put in your two correct answers onto your lane.

0:39:23 > 0:39:24One...

0:39:24 > 0:39:26And two.

0:39:30 > 0:39:33- So that's your edge. You've been on the red lane before.- Yes.

0:39:33 > 0:39:35It's a bigger edge than when you were there before.

0:39:35 > 0:39:37It definitely is, yes.

0:39:37 > 0:39:40Are you more confident of hitting it now that you've moved there?

0:39:40 > 0:39:42Um, considering how small it looks from here,

0:39:42 > 0:39:46it would take something a bit extra for me to hit it, I think.

0:39:46 > 0:39:49It will, but you have a choice to make now.

0:39:49 > 0:39:54You can roll for the full £3,750 with one ball

0:39:54 > 0:39:57and one attempt to hit the edge, or you could take two balls.

0:39:57 > 0:40:02That means you'll roll for half the money, £1,875.

0:40:02 > 0:40:04Or you could take three balls,

0:40:04 > 0:40:08three attempts to hit the edge, but £1,250.

0:40:08 > 0:40:12That's what you take there. What are you thinking?

0:40:12 > 0:40:15Um, well, considering how small the edge is and...

0:40:15 > 0:40:18well, what I've just said about the bowling,

0:40:18 > 0:40:23I think I'll stick with the three balls for £1,250, please.

0:40:23 > 0:40:26OK, you're taking three balls and you're rolling for £1,250.

0:40:28 > 0:40:32APPLAUSE

0:40:32 > 0:40:38It's time to take on the edge. For £1,250, Ross, let's roll.

0:40:48 > 0:40:50- It looks pretty good, but is it too big?- Too much.

0:40:50 > 0:40:55It's slowing down. It's slowing down nicely. Oh!

0:40:57 > 0:41:00- I thought you had it there. - I did.- I thought you had it, Ross.

0:41:00 > 0:41:01I knew it was too much at the beginning,

0:41:01 > 0:41:03but I thought it would slow down at the end.

0:41:03 > 0:41:07Well, you know what you've got to do now. How are you feeling inside?

0:41:07 > 0:41:09I'm actually feeling OK.

0:41:09 > 0:41:12That one was so close that if I just take a little bit off it,

0:41:12 > 0:41:13I think I can get there.

0:41:13 > 0:41:16Take a little bit of the excess energy and adrenaline away.

0:41:16 > 0:41:18- A bit less anxiety.- Good. We don't want any anxiety!

0:41:18 > 0:41:19LAUGHTER

0:41:19 > 0:41:25- Nice and chilled about this, Ross. OK? Are you ready?- Yes.

0:41:25 > 0:41:27For £1,250...

0:41:27 > 0:41:29let's roll, Ross.

0:41:35 > 0:41:37- Maybe...- It's nowhere near enough.

0:41:37 > 0:41:41Maybe not enough. It's into the cash zone, but nowhere near the edge.

0:41:41 > 0:41:43AUDIENCE GROANS

0:41:43 > 0:41:46- Somewhere in between, I think we need, don't we?- Absolutely.

0:41:46 > 0:41:49So, that wasn't enough. That was a long way off being enough.

0:41:49 > 0:41:52- I'd say it was. - So your first roll was better.

0:41:52 > 0:41:55This one...a little bit too weak.

0:41:55 > 0:42:02OK, we need a bit more welly, and thankfully, you have one more ball.

0:42:02 > 0:42:06- Yes.- This is your last chance now.

0:42:06 > 0:42:11Ross, for the final time, for £1,250, let's roll.

0:42:21 > 0:42:23- Is it going to be good enough?- No!

0:42:23 > 0:42:25Still going, but, no!

0:42:25 > 0:42:27Oh, Ross!

0:42:27 > 0:42:28APPLAUSE

0:42:28 > 0:42:29Ah!

0:42:29 > 0:42:31Oh, Ross!

0:42:31 > 0:42:33I really felt for you there because that first one

0:42:33 > 0:42:37- was so close to being brilliant. - Yeah.- And then...

0:42:37 > 0:42:39It's just the fear, isn't it, of going over the edge?

0:42:39 > 0:42:41I was just too cautious after the first roll,

0:42:41 > 0:42:45which was a massive mistake, but... Oh, well!

0:42:45 > 0:42:46You won't able to hit your final edge

0:42:46 > 0:42:49so sadly you're going home empty-handed, Ross,

0:42:49 > 0:42:52- but I hope you get to Japan one day. - I'm sure I will.

0:42:52 > 0:42:54Good luck with that. We'll be back next time

0:42:54 > 0:42:56with more new contestants pushing themselves to the edge.

0:42:56 > 0:42:59Why? Cos that's how we roll. Goodbye.

0:43:00 > 0:43:05CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
