0:00:18 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Hello, and welcome to The Edge,
0:00:22 > 0:00:25the show where you need brains and balls.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29Today our players will compete to roll down the big-money cash lanes.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32The nearer they roll to the edge, the more money they earn.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Stop their ball on the edge and they'll get thousands.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37But go over and they get nothing.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Let's meet the players who today are going to push themselves to The Edge.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43APPLAUSE
0:00:43 > 0:00:46I'm Paul. I live in the West Midlands,
0:00:46 > 0:00:49I'm a telecoms services manager and a James Bond fanatic.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52I'm Laura, I'm a warehouse operative from West Lothian
0:00:52 > 0:00:54and I've been to over 30 countries.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57I'm Sam from London, I'm an engineer and I used to run for Surrey.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59I'm Kath from Castle Donington.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03I'm a retired maths teacher and I quiz at least once a month.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04APPLAUSE
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Welcome to you all and very best of luck.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11In a moment you'll each take to the lanes to roll for big money.
0:01:11 > 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 > 0:01:19and you'll bring up your ball towards you.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20Once you've freed your ball,
0:01:20 > 0:01:22you'll roll down the shortest lane available.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25The shorter the lane, the bigger the edge
0:01:25 > 0:01:28and the better the odds of banking big money.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29So, do well on these questions
0:01:29 > 0:01:32to give yourself the best advantage on the lanes.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Three correct answers will release your ball.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37If everyone is ready, fingers on buzzers.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42In which section of an orchestra would you expect to hear
0:01:42 > 0:01:44the marimba, the triangle and the tambourine?
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Paul.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Er... The, er... Oh.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51OUT-OF-TIME BUZZER Time's out, Paul.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- Percussion was the word... - Yes, the word I was looking for.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56You're frozen out of the next question.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00The ancient Athena Acropolis is found in which country?
0:02:00 > 0:02:01- Laura.- Greece.- Correct.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- How many countries have you been to again?- Oh, too many.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07- Been there?- Yes, I have.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43- Kath.- The Gunpowder Plot.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45It was the Gunpowder Plot, it's a correct answer
0:02:45 > 0:02:47and it's released your ball, Kath.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48You're rolling first on the green lane.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51APPLAUSE
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- So, quick onto the lanes, Kath, was that the plan?- Yes.- Yeah.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00It was the best lane I did in the practice round, so...
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- You had to get the green lane.- Yes.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Well, hit the edge on Round One and it's worth...
0:03:05 > 0:03:07£1,500.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09APPLAUSE
0:03:09 > 0:03:11You'll each have one roll to earn as much as you can,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14whoever earns the least is leaving us.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16So, where did you get up to on the green lane?
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Well, actually I had two edges and two over the tops.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- OK, so you know you can hit the edge. - Yeah, I do, yes.- Are you ready?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- Yes, thank you.- Let's roll.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- COMMENTATOR:- 'Hello, and good afternoon.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31'First on the green lane, Kath from Castle Donington
0:03:31 > 0:03:34'who's looking very focused, crouching into position.'
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Much more steady.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38'And the roll looks good.'
0:03:38 > 0:03:40And it scores you £900.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42APPLAUSE
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Happy enough with that?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Yes, it's something for the others to aim at.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I would've liked a little bit further on
0:03:49 > 0:03:52but I'm happy to get there, not go off the edge.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57Three lanes still up for grabs and we've reset the podiums.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Fingers on buzzers.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02The characters Martin Chuzzlewit, Little Dorrit

0:04:05 > 0:04:07- Laura.- Charles Dickens.- Correct.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Laura.- Scotland.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- In which mountain range.- Oh!
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- So it is. - It's the Grampian Mountains.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- Laura, you're frozen out... - Listen to the question!
0:04:21 > 0:04:23You're frozen out of the next question.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26If I worked in the Federal Space Agency Roscosmos,
0:04:26 > 0:04:30which modern day country's space programme would be I working for?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- Paul.- Russia.- Correct.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35You're back in the game, Laura.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Which rock star was born Farrokh Bulsara?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- Laura.- Freddie Mercury. - Correct, you're a fan I take it?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Er, yeah.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46One more correct answer, Laura, and you'll roll next on the blue lane.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49What name for junk e-mail is also a type of canned meat?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- Laura.- Spam.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Correct. You've released your ball, you're rolling next on the blue lane.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56APPLAUSE
0:04:59 > 0:05:02So, Laura, to guarantee your place in the next round,
0:05:02 > 0:05:06you need to roll £950 or more.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- How did it go in the blue lane in practice?- It didn't.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11That was the worst lane.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- OK.- But I wanted to get some questions right
0:05:13 > 0:05:15so I'm quite happy. You never know.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- Well, it's one of the shorter lanes...- Yep.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21..it's got a reasonable sized edge there, worth £1,500.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Are you ready, Laura? - I am.- Let's roll.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27'Warehouse operative Laura isn't bursting with confidence,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30'can this roll settle her nerves?'
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- She's given it a good nudge. - Oh, it's too much.- Is it too much?
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- Stop, stop, stop! - Is it going to stop?
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Oh!
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Oh, Laura, it looked like you'd given it just about
0:05:39 > 0:05:43the right amount of weight there but it went over the edge.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Told you. Gutted.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Well, that roll scores you nothing.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52But it's not all over yet and if the lane was an inch longer, Laura...
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Story of my life!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58..you would've got £1,500. It's a fine line, isn't it?
0:05:58 > 0:06:03An inch in that case between £1,500 and zero but it does mean that,
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Kath, you are definitely going through to the next round.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09So, only two lanes left,
0:06:09 > 0:06:11whichever one of you releases your ball next
0:06:11 > 0:06:12will be rolling on the yellow lane,
0:06:12 > 0:06:15the other will be left with the red lane. Fingers on buzzers.
0:06:16 > 0:06:22The Lake Mead reservoir is formed by which famous dam?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- Paul.- Hoover.- Correct.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Dragged from the recesses of your mind...- Somewhere.- ..somewhere.- Yeah.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Who was the original host of Big Brother UK?
0:06:30 > 0:06:31- Paul.- Davina McCall.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Correct. You need one more correct answer to release your ball.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39In 1770, Captain James Cook first landed at Botany Bay
0:06:39 > 0:06:41in which modern day country?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Sam.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44- United States.- Incorrect. It's Australia.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46You're frozen out of the next question,
0:06:46 > 0:06:47so the floor is yours, Paul.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50You do not have to answer this if you don't know it.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53If you do and you're correct, you'll be rolling next in the yellow lane.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Who composed the ballet The Nutcracker?
0:06:58 > 0:06:59- Paul.- Tchaikovsky.- Correct.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02You've released your ball, you'll be rolling on the yellow lane.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Sam, you've been left with the red lane.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06APPLAUSE
0:07:09 > 0:07:12So, Paul, all the general knowledge came flooding back to you there.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- All of a sudden it came to me, yes. - Yes.- Yeah.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16It's left you with the yellow lane
0:07:16 > 0:07:20and to guarantee your place in the next round, you need £100 or more.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- You've just got to hit a cash zone. - OK.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25And Laura will have to sweat a little bit longer.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27LAUGHTER
0:07:27 > 0:07:30So, how did it go in the yellow lane in practice?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32It was one of my favourite lanes, actually.
0:07:32 > 0:07:37Kath's got the green lane, which I was also fairly consistent on.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- This is good for me. - OK.- I'm happy with this one, yeah.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Hit a cash zone and you're through. What are you going to aim for?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- Erm, I'm going to go middle for diddle basically.- Middle for diddle.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- Just nice and safe in the middle. - OK.- Yep.- Are you ready, Paul?- Yep.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53Let's roll.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57'A chance for Paul to ease into the game.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00'All he has to do is hit a cash zone.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02'Sounds easy, doesn't it?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05'A deep breath to compose himself and he's off.'
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- It's going to reach the cash zones. - Go on!
0:08:07 > 0:08:10It is reaching the cash zones.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12And it scores you £350.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14APPLAUSE
0:08:15 > 0:08:18So, you're joining Kath in the next round, Paul.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- You did just about enough there. - Just about enough, yeah.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Not a particularly huge amount to bank but you're safe.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- You're not, Laura.- Surprise!
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Your only hope now is if Sam fails...
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Come on, Sam!
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Fails to register anything on the cash zones.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39If he's short, which is possible on the red lane,
0:08:39 > 0:08:42or if he goes a little bit too long and he goes over the edge.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45How did it go for you, Sam, in practice?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48The red lane was OK but it could've been a lot better.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Anything from £100 up to the edge will do.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- Are you ready, Sam? - I'm ready.- Let's roll.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59'Has the heckling from Laura put Sam off?
0:08:59 > 0:09:00'He's looking calm.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03'Laura's only hope is if this goes wrong for him.'
0:09:03 > 0:09:04No...
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- It's got a bit of weight. - Stop it. Keep going.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09It's tipping over the cash zones.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13And it scores you £450.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14APPLAUSE
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- Yeah. Enough, you did enough. - Enough, enough.
0:09:18 > 0:09:23OK, well, I can tell you after those rolls, Kath, you have £900.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Paul, you have £350.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Sam, you have £450.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Laura, you have nothing.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31So, Kath, Paul and Sam, you're through to the next round.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Please return to your podiums.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35APPLAUSE
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Unfortunately, Laura,
0:09:38 > 0:09:40you earned the least amount of money in that round
0:09:40 > 0:09:43so I'm afraid you're leaving here with nothing
0:09:43 > 0:09:47and we didn't get to find out any of these countries that you visited
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- and perhaps where you could've gone...- I know.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50..if you got yourself to the final.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53But alas it wasn't meant to be, I'm afraid. Thanks for playing.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Thank you.- Bye-bye.- Bye.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57APPLAUSE
0:09:59 > 0:10:01So, congratulations, Sam, Kath and Paul.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03You've made it through to the next round.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05And, Paul, I need to know about a little bit more
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- about your James Bond obsession. - As a kid, yeah, I loved it.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Yeah, grew up with it. Coming from Southend, of course,
0:10:10 > 0:10:13if you didn't know, Goldfinger was shot at Southend Airport,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15or a very small portion of the film was filmed at Southend Airport
0:10:15 > 0:10:19for a couple of days, which is the bit where Goldfinger's car's
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- loaded into the aircraft...- Oh, that bit. Yeah.- That bit, of course.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- You knew that.- I knew that. - Yeah.- I was always wondering,
0:10:25 > 0:10:28"Which airport? Which real airport..." I thought to myself,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- "..was that filmed in?"- And if you're really geeky like me,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34there is a scene where James Bond flicks the centre console up
0:10:34 > 0:10:38of the Aston Martin and the map actually says Southend Airport.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40And what else do you do in your spare time?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Play a bit of pinball when I get the chance as well.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45There is a UK pinball league that I have been known to play with.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47There is a UK... Sorry, say those words,
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- there is a UK pinball league.- Yes. - Wow.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52So there's a bunch of guys that will get together at people's houses,
0:10:52 > 0:10:55locations, to actually play competitions.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Sam, tell us about the kind of engineering that you work in.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02So I work in the pharmaceutical industry
0:11:02 > 0:11:06and we make different various types of antibiotics
0:11:06 > 0:11:11so my job effectively is to find ways to make the process
0:11:11 > 0:11:15more efficient and more cost-effective, really.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16What else do you get up to, Sam?
0:11:16 > 0:11:20In my spare time I like to play a few sports, I play rugby,
0:11:20 > 0:11:22athletics, do a bit of jogging
0:11:22 > 0:11:25and then spend quite a lot of time with the family as well.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Kath, it's no surprise really you got yourself on the green lane
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- because you are a quiz mistress. - Well, I wouldn't say that.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Local pub quizzes sort of couple of times a month.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37But there are, you know, a few sort of local ones I do with my daughter.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40I like doing it with my daughter because she knows and likes
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- all the modern things.- So you segue together your knowledge very well.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- Absolutely. Yes, yes.- Does everyone want to have Kath on their team?
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Erm, yes. Am I allowed to say that?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52What kinds of things would you win in these pub quizzes?
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Sunday lunch for two, a round of drinks.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Nothing major really, no.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- And you win occasionally? - Yeah, we have done, yes.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Not on a regular basis but we have, yeah.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Good stuff. The money you earned is added to your personal bank.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10So, Paul, you have £350.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Sam, you have £450.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14And, Kath, you have £900.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17But only one of you can reach today's final
0:12:17 > 0:12:20and play for that money. Round Two.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23And we're shutting down the shortest lane.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27And now we're introducing danger zones, meaning any of the cash zones
0:12:27 > 0:12:31from £100 all the way up to £1,300 could become a danger zone.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35If that happens, its value drops to zero.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37How many danger zones you face depends on how well you do
0:12:37 > 0:12:38on the questions.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Release your ball first and not only will you take the shortest lane
0:12:41 > 0:12:45with the biggest edge but no danger zones.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47This time you'll need to answer four questions correctly
0:12:47 > 0:12:51to release your ball, so fingers on buzzers.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Which universal force of attraction keeps the planets in orbit

0:13:24 > 0:13:27"I saw the light on the night that I passed..."
0:13:27 > 0:13:31- Kath.- Delilah.- "..by her window"? Delilah is correct and, Kath,
0:13:31 > 0:13:33you need one more correct answer to release your ball.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37If I were a character attending a party in the novel The Great Gatsby,
0:13:37 > 0:13:40what decade of the 20th century would it be?
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Sam.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45The '30s.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Close. '20s.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49I'm afraid you're frozen out of the next question.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Which TV show starred Richard Ayoade as geeky genius Maurice Moss?
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- Paul.- The IT Crowd.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Correct, Paul. Said that with great pride.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Oh, yeah, I'm a geek with a personality.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03Sam, you're back in the game.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16Whichever of you answers a question correctly next
0:14:16 > 0:14:18will release your ball, Kath and Paul.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21The vertebrae make up which major part of the human...?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- Kath.- The spine.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Human skeleton, it is the spine, correct.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28You've released your ball and you're rolling first on the blue lane.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32APPLAUSE
0:14:34 > 0:14:38So, Kath, you've done it again.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- Got here first.- No pressure.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Your general knowledge coming to the fore once more,
0:14:43 > 0:14:47earning you the biggest edge and the shortest lane and no danger zones.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49It's the nicest thing.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Get your ball on the edge in this round and it's worth...
0:14:52 > 0:14:56£2,000. APPLAUSE
0:14:56 > 0:14:58You'll each have two rolls which will be added together.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Whoever earns the least is leaving us.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- £900 on the green lane, Kath.- Mm-hm.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- A good roll to get you going.- Mm-hm.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09A little bit further to go this time
0:15:09 > 0:15:13and an edge that's worth quite a bit more.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Where are you going to go for?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17I'm going to try and put a little bit more in
0:15:17 > 0:15:20and hope to get towards the edge even if...
0:15:20 > 0:15:22As long as I don't go off the end.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24OK, Kath, if you're ready?
0:15:24 > 0:15:25Let's roll.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28- COMMENTATOR:- 'First on the lanes again,
0:15:28 > 0:15:32'can retired maths teacher Kath make the right calculations
0:15:32 > 0:15:33'to hit the edge?'
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- KATH:- Very tentative.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37It's very, very tentative
0:15:37 > 0:15:41but it goes a bit higher and it stops at £650.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44APPLAUSE
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- Of course you still have another roll.- Mm-hm.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49So, you can add to that
0:15:49 > 0:15:51but how are you feeling after your first roll?
0:15:51 > 0:15:53I would've liked a little bit more
0:15:53 > 0:15:55but at least I know they've got danger zones
0:15:55 > 0:15:57so it may put a little bit more pressure on them.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- We shall see.- Yeah.- There are two lanes left. We've reset the podiums.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Whichever of you releases your ball next will roll on the yellow lane,
0:16:04 > 0:16:06the other will be left with the red lane
0:16:06 > 0:16:09and you'll both be facing danger zones.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Fingers on buzzers.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Which Irvine Welsh novel shares its title with a hobby
0:16:14 > 0:16:17involving documenting the numbers of locomotives?
0:16:20 > 0:16:21- Sam.- Trainspotting.- Correct.
0:16:23 > 0:16:28In which 2003 romcom does Hugh Grant play a Prime Minister?
0:16:28 > 0:16:29Sam.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- Is it Love Actually?- Correct!
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Just in the nick of time.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Before being succeeded by Mary Tudor,
0:16:37 > 0:16:41who was nominally the Queen of England for nine days in 1553?
0:16:44 > 0:16:45- Paul.- Mary.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- Incorrect. Lady Jane Grey.- Grey.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- You're frozen out of the next question.- Yep.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54What fruit is chiefly used to make a traditional Eve's Pudding?
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- Sam.- An apple.- Correct, Sam.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04You need one more correct answer to release your ball.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06What is the first two digit prime number?
0:17:09 > 0:17:10Sam.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12Three.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- Two digit.- Oh.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Sorry, Sam, it's 11. You're frozen out of the next question.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24Renzo Piano and Norman Foster are famous names in which creative field?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- Paul.- Musicals.- Architecture.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32You're frozen out of the next question. Sam, you're back in
0:17:32 > 0:17:36and you still need one more correct answer to release your ball.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- Can't get going in his game, Paul.- Nope.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42If I wore a ring made purely from the precious metal
0:17:42 > 0:17:45with the chemical symbol PT...?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- Sam.- Platinum.- Correct.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50The ring would be made from platinum.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Congratulations, you're rolling next on the yellow lane.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Paul, you've been left with the red lane.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57APPLAUSE
0:18:00 > 0:18:03So, a change of fortune for you, Sam.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Yeah, that round was a lot better than the first for me, yeah.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Those math questions causing you problems.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Yeah, schoolboy error that was.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- See Kath for extra lessons.- Yeah.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Well, Sam, you're going to face one danger zone
0:18:16 > 0:18:18here on the yellow lane. So, before you roll
0:18:18 > 0:18:20we need to find out where that danger zone will be
0:18:20 > 0:18:22and it's moving up and down your lane,
0:18:22 > 0:18:24it will only stop when you press that button there.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Good luck.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Ooh, £200 has gone from your lane, it's replaced with zero.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- Yeah, it's good that it's one of the low numbers. I'm happy.- Yeah.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40You're going to go big on this one?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Going to. Definitely, that's the plan.- OK.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Where are you going for - four figures?
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Ideally, yeah. As close as possible to four figures, yeah.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Let's see how you do, then. Let's roll.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57'The danger zone is in the perfect place with Sam
0:18:57 > 0:19:00'aiming for four figures. He's getting down low.'
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Not sure that's going to get to four figures
0:19:02 > 0:19:04but it is over your danger zone
0:19:04 > 0:19:06and it's crept up to...
0:19:06 > 0:19:08£400.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09APPLAUSE
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Did the danger zone put you off there, Sam, a bit?
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Yeah, I don't think it did. I think I just didn't gauge it right.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- Mm.- Mm.- OK.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24Paul, you have two danger zones to contend with in the red lane.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28So, before you roll we need to find out where those danger zones will be.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31There they are moving up and down, same deal, press the button
0:19:31 > 0:19:32and they'll stop.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38And they've stopped on £900 and £350.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40How does that look from where you're standing?
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Not too bad, it's in the middle so it's as good as it's going to get.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Does that mean you're going to go in the middle section?
0:19:46 > 0:19:49In the middle section, I mean, yeah. Got to go for it.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51You look a bit defeated there because you're in the red lane.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54I did really bad that round, just couldn't believe it,
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- just brain emptied.- But, Paul, you've done nothing yet,
0:19:56 > 0:19:58you're still in the game,
0:19:58 > 0:20:00so the red lane is ultimately where you want to end up, isn't it?
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Er, yeah.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05- So this is practice for the final. - It is, it features in every round
0:20:05 > 0:20:07so if nothing else it's good practice, yeah.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Paul, where are you going for?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Kath's on £650 so I need to get...
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Anything above that is great for me.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- OK.- Do my best.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- Licence to roll, Paul.- Uh-huh. - LAUGHTER
0:20:19 > 0:20:20Let's roll.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24'Paul needs to forget about the questions now
0:20:24 > 0:20:26'and focus on the red lane.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27'Deep breath...'
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- PAUL WHISPERS - 'Little pep talk.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33'If he rolls right here, he could take the lead.'
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Good weight.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39It's gone over the first danger zone,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42creeping up towards the second and it stops on...
0:20:42 > 0:20:44£650.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46APPLAUSE
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- You're thanking somebody up there. - Yeah. Yes, definitely.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Yeah? M...
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Daniel Craig. Roger Moore.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Yeah, Roger Moore definitely looking over my shoulder there.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02- Yeah, definitely. - Before everyone rolls again,
0:21:02 > 0:21:04let's have a look at what you've earned so far.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Kath, you have £650.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Sam, you have £400 and, Paul, you have £650.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14APPLAUSE
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- So, Kath, have you done the maths? - I have, yes.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18What do you need?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21As much as I can, really. The pressure's on, isn't it?
0:21:21 > 0:21:24One's equal to me, one's not that far behind, so...
0:21:24 > 0:21:26So, you're going to push it up to the edge?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Got to try and go for a bit more here, yes, I think so.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32OK, if you're ready, Kath, let's roll.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36- COMMENTATOR:- 'Kath has worked out what she needs.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38'With the competition heating up,
0:21:38 > 0:21:40'it's her last chance to make her roll count.'
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Ooh, it's got a lot of weight on it but it looks like it's slowing down.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46It is slowing down. Where's it going to stop?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48It scores you £1,300,
0:21:48 > 0:21:54we'll add that to your previous total, giving you £1,950, Kath.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- APPLAUSE - Happy with that!
0:21:56 > 0:22:00- Wow, that was a good time to pull out a big roll, Kath.- It was.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Now you're doing the maths and working out
0:22:02 > 0:22:04what the others need to do.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09And, Sam, you need £250 to stay in the game.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12To go above Kath, you need to hit the edge.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16Your danger zones stays where it is on £200.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Where are you going to aim your ball for?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22I've got no choice but to get as high as I can.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- If you're ready, Sam. - I'm ready.- Let's roll.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29'It's simple for Sam,
0:22:29 > 0:22:33'he has to land on a big cash amount for a chance to stay in the game.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36'A very good, solid stance but will the roll match?'
0:22:37 > 0:22:39It's gone over a danger zone
0:22:39 > 0:22:41and it's stopping on £600,
0:22:41 > 0:22:44add it to your first roll gives you a total of £1,000.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47APPLAUSE
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Is that going to be enough to get you through?
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Let's wait and see.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Well, we know Kath is definitely through to the next round.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Congratulations to you. Sam...
0:22:59 > 0:23:03small margin there, just ahead of Paul.
0:23:03 > 0:23:10There are two danger zones on your lane, of course - £900 and £350.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13£400 would see you through, Paul.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Yeah.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- So, right in the middle again. - Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Let's roll.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24'£400 puts Paul through, looks like he's in the zone.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26'Anxious look from Sam, though.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28'He knows Paul can do this.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30'He pulls the trigger.'
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Smooth roll. It's a big roll.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Is it going to slow down in time?
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- Is it going to end up in the right area of the board?- Go on, go on!
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- Oh, yes!- Gets £1,100, we'll add that to your previous roll,
0:23:41 > 0:23:43giving you a total of £1,750.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45APPLAUSE
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- You look quite chuffed with that, Paul.- Absolutely.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Pulled it out the bag. Absolutely. Way to go.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54With those two rolls added together, Kath, you have £1,950.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Paul, you have £1,750.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Sam, you have £1,000, which means, Kath and Paul,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03you're through to the next round. Please return to your podiums.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05APPLAUSE
0:24:07 > 0:24:10And unfortunately, Sam, you've earned the least amount of money
0:24:10 > 0:24:12in that round so I'm afraid you're leaving here with nothing
0:24:12 > 0:24:15but hopefully some good memories.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- Thank you.- Thanks for playing. Goodbye.- Goodbye.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19APPLAUSE
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Congratulations, Paul and Kath, you are through to the next round
0:24:26 > 0:24:30and, Paul, a real lesson learned for you out there
0:24:30 > 0:24:33because your shoulders were down, you looked despondent on the red lane.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35I managed to pull it out of the bag, though,
0:24:35 > 0:24:37but Kath's so good on those questions, just...
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Well, she is but it shows you when you get down to the lanes,
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- things can change.- Yeah. - And it's not over until it's over.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44No, it isn't.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Who's watching you at home today?
0:24:46 > 0:24:49There'll be my wife, Dawn, and my daughter, Ava.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50How old's Ava?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Ava is 11, so she's going to big school now.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54And is she the absolute apple of your eye?
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Yeah, she's going to hate me for saying this
0:24:56 > 0:24:59but she's a miracle of science to me. She's an IVF baby.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Has she given you any advice about today?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04"Just win, Dad, cos otherwise you're not coming back in the house."
0:25:04 > 0:25:05LAUGHTER
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Kath, what else do you get up to in your spare time?
0:25:07 > 0:25:12- Ooh, er, well, I love anything to do with animals or sport so...- Right.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15..put the two together and my passion is horse racing really.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17My grandad used to take me in my summer holidays
0:25:17 > 0:25:20when I was younger, somehow he always seemed to know people,
0:25:20 > 0:25:24he was always disappearing around the stable block and getting tips...
0:25:24 > 0:25:27So perhaps that's where your mathematical mind started.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31- Maybe, probabilities and the odds, yeah, could be.- Yeah? Good stuff.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33The money you earned is added to your personal bank.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36So, Paul, you now have £2,100.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Kath, you have £2,850.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41That money is safely banked for the final,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43should you manage to get there.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Round Three.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48And we're shutting down another lane.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50In this round, there's only one danger zone
0:25:50 > 0:25:53and the first player to release their ball will control it
0:25:53 > 0:25:55and can place it anywhere on their opponent's lane.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58You'll need five correct answers to release your ball,
0:25:58 > 0:26:00fingers on buzzers.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Who was Kirsty Young's predecessor
0:26:03 > 0:26:06as presenter of Radio 4's Desert Island Discs?
0:26:08 > 0:26:10(Sue...)
0:26:10 > 0:26:12- Kath.- Is it Sue Lawley?- Correct.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18Which city's airport has the international code LAX?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- Kath.- Los Angeles.- Correct.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26- Paul.- Willow.- Correct.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31What do you get if you add together the number of days in July
0:26:31 > 0:26:32and August?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34- Kath.- 62.- Correct.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Took you about half a millisecond. LAUGHTER
0:26:39 > 0:26:43If I had a part in the play subtitled The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street,
0:26:43 > 0:26:44in which play...? Kath.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- Sweeney Todd. - ..in which play would I be?
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Sweeney Todd is correct.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50Out of the traps quickly,
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- you need one more correct answer to release your ball.- It's good.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Which letter proceeds the word "day" in the name given to
0:26:56 > 0:27:01the 6th June, 1944 when Allied Forces landed in Normandy?
0:27:01 > 0:27:02- Kath.- D-Day.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Correct, you've released your ball,
0:27:04 > 0:27:05you'll be rolling first on the yellow lane.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Paul, you've been left with the red lane.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09APPLAUSE
0:27:14 > 0:27:20Kath, you barely gave Paul time to lift his hand towards the buzzer.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- So quick there. - I was lucky with the questions.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27Well, every time you have had the shortest lane
0:27:27 > 0:27:30with the biggest edge, and get your ball on the edge in this round, Kath,
0:27:30 > 0:27:31and it's worth...
0:27:31 > 0:27:35£3,000. APPLAUSE
0:27:35 > 0:27:37You've got three rolls which will be added together.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Whoever earns the most money in this round will be through to the final.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Kath, you're going to roll first.
0:27:44 > 0:27:49You've had some big rolls, you've had £1,300.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52You know how to get your ball up there towards the edge.
0:27:52 > 0:27:59- Is it time to start banking some really big sums here, Kath?- Be nice.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01- Are you ready?- Yes.- Let's roll.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04'Kath's a strong contender
0:28:04 > 0:28:08'as she takes control of the lanes first yet again.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10'Can she keep hitting those four figures?'
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Got a good weight, is it too much or is it going to stop?
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Is it going to stop? Is it going to stop?
0:28:15 > 0:28:18No, it's over the edge
0:28:18 > 0:28:21and it scores you nothing.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Excellent!
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Do you think this is the problem with moving lanes all the time?
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Yeah, definitely. This is where I think Paul will have the advantage
0:28:29 > 0:28:31because he's been on the longer lanes all the time, yeah.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Well, you control a danger zone now
0:28:33 > 0:28:37and you can put it anywhere on Paul's lane from £100 to £1,300.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Where are you going to choose?
0:28:39 > 0:28:42I think I'll go 1,000.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45£1,000, why?
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Well, hopefully that'll keep him shorter, in the shorter money,
0:28:48 > 0:28:52because it's making that top end a little bit more smaller
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- for him to aim at. - Less attractive.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57OK, let's strike out £1,000 from the red lane.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00That is now worth zero.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03To be avoided at all costs, Paul, as is going over the edge
0:29:03 > 0:29:05- and failing to reach the cash zones. - Yep.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09- But you did very well on the red lane last time.- Getting used to this.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Yeah. Is the danger zone going to be a problem for you?
0:29:12 > 0:29:16No, consistently... I'm trying to find my consistency
0:29:16 > 0:29:18and I'm going to stay just well away from that,
0:29:18 > 0:29:20I'm going to be edge-averse as well.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22- Not even going to go that far up the table.- OK.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26You're just looking for lower figures to kind of keep ticking over.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- Consistency through the three bowls. - OK.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31- Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Let's roll.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35'Full of confidence from his last roll,
0:29:35 > 0:29:38'claiming he wants to play it safe again.'
0:29:38 > 0:29:39(Skip.)
0:29:39 > 0:29:42'Big deep breath, getting composed
0:29:42 > 0:29:44'and even a small pep talk there as well.'
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Oh, it's heading up towards the higher numbers,
0:29:50 > 0:29:51is it going to stop...?
0:29:51 > 0:29:53On £900.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55APPLAUSE
0:29:55 > 0:29:58A little bit of panic there, Paul? It was going towards the danger zone.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00No, none at all. That's exactly where I wanted it to be.
0:30:00 > 0:30:05- OK. Who's Skip by the way, Paul? - Skip? That's my nickname.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08- That's YOUR nickname? - Yeah, Skippy, that's my nickname.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Oh, I thought you'd named the ball Skippy.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- No, that's me.- So you were giving yourself a pep talk.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Well, we've seen you talk out loud quite a lot.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Yeah, I talk to myself, yeah, I do. A lot.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19All right, Skip,
0:30:19 > 0:30:23after that first roll I can tell you Kath has nothing
0:30:23 > 0:30:25and Paul has £900.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28APPLAUSE
0:30:28 > 0:30:31So, time for your second roll, Kath.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Have you worked out the maths?
0:30:35 > 0:30:38Yes, not difficult to see, is it?
0:30:38 > 0:30:40No, he's definitely put the pressure on there
0:30:40 > 0:30:42getting higher up in the lane,
0:30:42 > 0:30:44I have to say that's a difficult one, really.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46- Are you ready?- Yes.- Let's roll.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50'The pressure is on Kath,
0:30:50 > 0:30:53'Paul is urging for her to go over the edge.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55'Can she stay in the game with a big roll?'
0:30:58 > 0:31:01It's got a good weight, it's heading towards four figures
0:31:01 > 0:31:03and it stops on...
0:31:03 > 0:31:04£1,300!
0:31:04 > 0:31:07We'll add that to your first roll, gives you £1,300!
0:31:07 > 0:31:09APPLAUSE
0:31:11 > 0:31:14- Second time you've rolled that, Kath...- Push it a little...
0:31:14 > 0:31:16..and you've pulled the game back round.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18- And you've got a choice.- Mm-hm.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Based on what you've just rolled there, do you want to keep
0:31:20 > 0:31:22that danger zone where it is in Paul's lane
0:31:22 > 0:31:25or would you like to move it?
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Think I'll move it a little bit forward because he got 900,
0:31:28 > 0:31:31didn't he? I think I'll put it on 900.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34OK, so we're going to take 900 out of your lane,
0:31:34 > 0:31:36it is now worth zero, Paul.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39You can't land there again.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41So, has that caused you any problems?
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Is it a mental block for you, that one?
0:31:46 > 0:31:51It's... It's OK. I'm OK with it, I'm OK.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54400 means you hang on there with Kath
0:31:54 > 0:31:56and go into your third and final roll level.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58- Are you ready?- Yes.- Let's roll.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03'Pressure's back on Paul and the tension is immense,
0:32:03 > 0:32:06'there's nothing between these two.'
0:32:06 > 0:32:08(Come on, Skip.)
0:32:11 > 0:32:13Let's see what Skip's got in him this time.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16It's slowing down as it hits the cash zones, where's it going to stop?
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Well, it's gone over the 400.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22It's stopped on £500, giving you a total of £1,400.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24APPLAUSE
0:32:25 > 0:32:29OK, after that second roll, Kath, you have £1,300
0:32:29 > 0:32:31and, Paul, you have £1,400.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34APPLAUSE
0:32:34 > 0:32:38But it's time for the third and final roll this round
0:32:38 > 0:32:41and there is so little in it, Kath,
0:32:41 > 0:32:43that nothing you can do will guarantee you're through
0:32:43 > 0:32:46to the next round right now, so what are you going to do?
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Well, I would be happy with what I got on the last roll
0:32:49 > 0:32:53- so hopefully nearer that than what I did on the first one.- OK, you ready?
0:32:53 > 0:32:54- Yes.- Let's roll.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00'Can Kath get that muscle memory working yet again?
0:33:00 > 0:33:04'This is her chance to knock Paul out of the game.'
0:33:04 > 0:33:05- Oh!- Oh.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07That was terrible.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09It's not big.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Oh, dear.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15It stops on 550, giving you a total of £1,850.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19APPLAUSE
0:33:19 > 0:33:20So...
0:33:20 > 0:33:24it's not guaranteeing you anything at this stage of the game
0:33:24 > 0:33:26and it shows you, doesn't it, that missing out on a score
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- with your first roll...- Yep.- ..has put you in a precarious position?
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- Absolutely, yeah.- So, do you want to keep the danger zone
0:33:32 > 0:33:34where it is on 900
0:33:34 > 0:33:38or are you going to move it for Paul's final roll?
0:33:38 > 0:33:41I think I might just bring it to 800.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44You're going to move it down a couple of cash zones,
0:33:44 > 0:33:48let's do that, then, and put it on £800.
0:33:48 > 0:33:49What's your thinking?
0:33:49 > 0:33:53Well, if he tries to keep this side of it in order to get enough,
0:33:53 > 0:33:55maybe, or maybe he'll go on the nought
0:33:55 > 0:33:58or maybe he'll go for past it and roll off.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02Well, £500 or more, Paul, would do it for you.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06Yeah, but it's quite tight up to where the danger zone is.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09- Is that bothering you? - Yeah, this is not James Bond,
0:34:09 > 0:34:10this is Mission: Impossible now.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12LAUGHTER
0:34:12 > 0:34:14OK, are you ready?
0:34:14 > 0:34:17- As I'm ever going to be, yes. - Let's roll.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22'This is the decider and nothing's impossible.
0:34:22 > 0:34:23'It's in Paul's hands now.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29'Deep in thought, a composed breath to calm adrenaline.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34'And here comes the roll, will it be good enough?'
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Oh, no. Short.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- No, it's big, it's big.- Yes! - It's big enough.
0:34:41 > 0:34:45It's £600, we add that to your previous total, gives you £2,000.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47APPLAUSE
0:34:48 > 0:34:52With three rolls added together, Kath has £1,850,
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Paul has £2,000, which means, Paul,
0:34:55 > 0:34:57you take what you've earned through to today's final.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Please return to the podium.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03APPLAUSE
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Kath, in spite of your great general knowledge,
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- in the end the numbers didn't stack up for you.- They didn't.
0:35:08 > 0:35:09Too tentative.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12I'm afraid you earned the least amount of money in that round
0:35:12 > 0:35:15so you're leaving here with nothing but hopefully the experience
0:35:15 > 0:35:18- will stand you in good stead in your pub quizzes.- Yes, I'm sure it will.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- Thanks so much for playing, Kath. - Thank you.- Goodbye.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23APPLAUSE
0:35:26 > 0:35:30- Congratulations, Paul.- Thank you. - You've made it through to the final
0:35:30 > 0:35:32where you're playing for all the money you've earned today,
0:35:32 > 0:35:36a total of £4,100. APPLAUSE
0:35:37 > 0:35:40First things first, what's Skip all about?
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Skip, Skippy.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46- It's my nickname and has been for about 30-odd years.- Why?
0:35:46 > 0:35:49It's to do with an old, beat-up company car that got handed down
0:35:49 > 0:35:53to me and I was so proud of it but it had a very weird fault.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56It would only go round right-hand bends.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58If you put it round a left-hand bend, it would just cut out -
0:35:58 > 0:36:00skip, skip, skip, like that,
0:36:00 > 0:36:02and the name of the car stuck with me.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04My friends, my family all know me as Skip or Skippy.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06I hardly ever get called Paul.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09So, what are you going to spend the money on, then?
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Looking to get a pinball table.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13- A pinball table?- Yep.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15One of my very own, rather than playing somebody else's.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17It's the final.
0:36:18 > 0:36:23And we're shutting down one more lane which leaves only the red lane.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26We've removed the cash values from that lane, leaving only the edge
0:36:26 > 0:36:28which is now worth all the money you've earned today.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32Stop your ball on the edge and you'll win £4,100.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Go over the edge and you get nothing.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37But you have a chance to make it easier for yourself
0:36:37 > 0:36:39by answering more questions.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43Each correct answer increases the size of the edge.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44The more questions you get right,
0:36:44 > 0:36:47the bigger the edge will be and the easier your final roll.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50You'll have 75 seconds to get as many right as you can.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53- Is everything clear?- Yes.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Let's put 75 seconds on the clock.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58Your time will start when I've read the first question.

0:38:22 > 0:38:26but, Paul, I can tell you, you answered six questions correctly.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28To see what that score has done to the edge,
0:38:28 > 0:38:30let's take to the lanes for the final time.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33APPLAUSE
0:38:36 > 0:38:39You look like you were physically spent there, Paul.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41I am absolutely drained.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43LAUGHTER
0:38:43 > 0:38:46There's 11.5 metres of red lane before you
0:38:46 > 0:38:48but it will look very different in a moment
0:38:48 > 0:38:50because every one of your correct answers
0:38:50 > 0:38:52increases the size of your edge
0:38:52 > 0:38:54so let's put them onto your lane.
0:38:54 > 0:38:55One,
0:38:55 > 0:38:56two,
0:38:56 > 0:38:57three,
0:38:57 > 0:38:59four,
0:38:59 > 0:39:00five,
0:39:00 > 0:39:01six.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04APPLAUSE
0:39:04 > 0:39:08Is it the kind of edge that's making you feel confident, Paul?
0:39:08 > 0:39:10It's making me feel very scared.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11Erm...
0:39:11 > 0:39:15It's good, I'd have liked to have got a few more actually,
0:39:15 > 0:39:18two or three more I would've been a lot, lot happier.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19This is...
0:39:19 > 0:39:22- tough for me. - Well, you have a choice to make.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26You can roll for the full £4,100 with only one ball
0:39:26 > 0:39:28and one attempt to hit the edge,
0:39:28 > 0:39:30or you could take two balls but that means you'll say goodbye
0:39:30 > 0:39:34to half the money, you'll roll for £2,050.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Or you can take three balls, that's three attempts to hit the edge,
0:39:37 > 0:39:40but you'll be playing for a third of the money,
0:39:40 > 0:39:43which we're calling £1,367.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48- Does that help...- No.- ..seeing those figures there?- Not at all.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Well, you have been inside that edge two times.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55Yeah, I've been there or thereabouts pretty much every time
0:39:55 > 0:39:57I've played this lane.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00As much experience as anyone I can remember in that red lane,
0:40:00 > 0:40:03actually, turning up for the final.
0:40:03 > 0:40:04What are you thinking?
0:40:04 > 0:40:08I want to walk away with something so I'm going to go for two.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11- Two balls, definitely?- Yeah.- Yeah. Is that what James Bond would do?
0:40:11 > 0:40:15No, he would go for the 4,000 and live dangerously...
0:40:15 > 0:40:17- Miss Moneypenny, but... - LAUGHTER
0:40:17 > 0:40:23I'm going to go and give myself a second chance at the 2,000.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27So you're taking two balls and you'll rolling for £2,050.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29APPLAUSE
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Which, of course, means, Paul, means you will only roll twice.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35LAUGHTER
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Oh, I see what you did there.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39LAUGHTER
0:40:41 > 0:40:42It's time to take on The Edge.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46For £2,050, Paul, let's roll.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54(Skip.)
0:40:54 > 0:40:56HE MUTTERS
0:41:01 > 0:41:05- Looks big, it looks like it might be too heavy.- Too fast.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08It's heavy, Paul, it's gone over the edge.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18- But that, Skip, is the reason you took two balls.- Yep.
0:41:18 > 0:41:23You've not got to get yourself into a state of despair here
0:41:23 > 0:41:27because the reason you took two balls was to allow yourself
0:41:27 > 0:41:30- that kind of roll, you've got it out of your system.- Yeah.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33You've rolled six times now, Paul, on the red lane
0:41:33 > 0:41:37and four times you've been within that edge.
0:41:37 > 0:41:38You can do this.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41Don't let your shoulders drop too much.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- Shoulders back so it's nice and smooth.- OK, head up.- Yep.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48- Are you ready?- Yes.
0:41:48 > 0:41:53It's time to take on The Edge for the final time for £2,050.
0:41:53 > 0:41:54Let's roll.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19- It's got a good weight, is it going to be...?- Stop, stop.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21- Is it going to be too big? - Please stop, stop, stop.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24It's going to stay, it's not!
0:42:24 > 0:42:25Oh, Paul.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28APPLAUSE Oh!
0:42:30 > 0:42:33So many times, you've rode your luck today, haven't you, Paul?
0:42:33 > 0:42:36You've had some great rolls but it wasn't to be.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38You weren't able to hit the edge there
0:42:38 > 0:42:41so, sadly, Paul, you're going home empty-handed.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44- But you've been a fantastic contestant.- Thank you.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Take any positives from this?
0:42:46 > 0:42:49HE LAUGHS
0:42:49 > 0:42:51- Yeah, more practice. - LAUGHTER
0:42:51 > 0:42:53- Thank you so much, Paul.- Thank you.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55We'll be back next time with more new contestants
0:42:55 > 0:42:57pushing themselves to the edge. Why?
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Because that's how we roll. Bye-bye.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
