0:00:23 > 0:00:28To win the game you have to find the link between the answers.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Three teams are hoping to make the right connections,
0:00:30 > 0:00:33but only one of them can be in today's final.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37Let's see who's zealous, zippy and in the zone.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42I'm Kevan, I'm from London.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45I'm a reservist in the Royal Air Force, and this is my wife.

0:01:01 > 0:01:05We have an appreciation of the television programme Doctor Who.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Yes, I had the honour to appear on Doctor Who.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Where does your love of Doctor Who go back to?
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Oh, gosh, since I was a little girl
0:01:13 > 0:01:16when I was banned from watching the show because...
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Why were you banned from watching Doctor Who?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Because it terrified the pants off me.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Mum said "No, no, no, you're not watching that show any more."
0:01:22 > 0:01:25But my love continued and here I am.
0:01:25 > 0:01:30- And then you started to enjoy being scared.- Absolutely.- OK.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- Kevan and Alexandra, welcome. - Thank you.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36April and Rochelle, tell us about yourselves.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55And the link is, if there could be a greater one, that you're twins.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59So, have you ever pretended to be each other?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Yeah, definitely.- OK.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- Was it kind of revenge about being so similar?- Yeah, it was fun.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10It's nice to play tricks on each other and see who really knows you.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13April and Rochelle, welcome.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Robert and Wilson, tell us about yourselves.

0:02:40 > 0:02:45- On which you snowboard.- Yes. I teach it part-time as well.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50It keeps me fit and it's certainly far cheaper than going to a gym.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Welcome all. Now pay attention.
0:02:56 > 0:03:03Here are six cash pods containing amounts ranging from £125 to £2,000.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07The more cash in the pod, the more links holding it.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10What you have to do is cut the links holding the pods
0:03:10 > 0:03:13until they drop into your bank.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15And here's how you cut the links.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17I'm going to ask you four questions
0:03:17 > 0:03:20and you have to work out what links the answers.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23If you can find that link from the first answer alone,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26you'll be able to cut four of those links.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30If you spot it after the second answer, you cut three links,
0:03:30 > 0:03:35then two, then one, and of course the link here is...
