Episode 3 The National Lottery: Break the Safe

Tonight just one second stand between winning or losing up to

�100,000. Get the timing right, and the money is won, get it wrong, and

it is gone forever. So who will have the perfect combination to Break The

APPLAUSE Welcome, welcome, welcome, to the

National Lottery Break The Safe, with tonight's big money draw, the

evening three pairs will battle it out to take up to �100,000 from this

safe. But winning the cash will require team work, and precision

timing. In a few moments, the safe will lock, activating a countdown.

Only when that hits zero will the cash banks be available for the

taking. A fleeting moment to win a fortune. That is what I call

pressure as tonight's players are about to find out. Let us meet them.

First up are best friends Helen and Rina from West Wales. They met age

seven at school where they bonded in the playground, making up dance

routine, they have been best mates for 32 years but will their

friendship get them through tonight? Next up Mark and Brian from

Newcastle. Mark is dating Brian's daughter and hopes one day to marry

her, making Brian his father-in-law. Brian is retired and Mark is a

sports manager. Will they be happy inlaws or unhappy outlaws by the end

of the show? Finally it is Katie and Darren from Blackpool. They have

known each other for 25 years, but only recently got together as a

couple. They say together they are formidable but will they be the pair

to Break The Safe tonight? Welcome, welcome, let us get to know

more about you Helen and Rina. Who is best at timing? Helen never wears

a watch, so that is not a good start. Rina is probably best.

the brightest? Rina again? It is so going to prove it wrong. If your

best friend cost you thousands of pounds tonight, would you still be

best friends Yes. We have been through thick and thin, through

births, marriages, several marriages... How many have you

racked up between you? On her side, not mine!

So why are best friends for so long going to do better than any of the

others? We know each other, warts and all now. Strength, weakness,

everything. Let us find out. Brian and Mark, this is a potential

father-in-law. Not yet, and son-in-law. Potential. Yes.The

question I have to ask you is any man good enough for your daughter?

Very difficult because every one like is the kiss of death. So Mark

survived so far. So why is this going to work more than say the best

friends or the other relationships we have got here? I have the youth

and he has the age. Thank you Mark! I have the beauty. So it could work

out between the two of you. could. Will it beat a couple? Let us

find out as we move on the Katie and Darren. So, 25 years it took you to

get together. This is all about timing, you will need to be quicker

than that to go through things. this I we will be. 25 year, we knew

each other at school. Why didn't it zip at school? Because we were

teenagers and they don't know much really. Why is this going to work?

We have a good understanding. I don't think we are competitive

individually but it would take someone to play a good game to beat

us together. Ladies and gentlemen, that is our

three team, best of luck to all of you.

APPLAUSE Right, this safe contains �100,000,

how much of that money our pairs break from it is completely down to

how well they play the game. So, lock the safe please.

Six locks are in place, I will release the first four lock, but the

last two can only be unlocked by our contestant, OK, with 35 minutes on

the clock, activate the countdown. I countdown activated. When that hits

zero and only when it hits zero, the catch will be available to break

from the safe. But the window of opportunity to win that money will

be very small. Literally just one second. But which of our three pairs

will make it to that moment? In this first round we begin to put our

pairs through their paces, each question has a two part answer. You

both need to give a correct answer to earn �1,000. But only one of you

will have control of the buzzer. Helen, Brian, and Katie, you are in

control first, so with 34 minutes and 11 seconds till zero, let us get

you into position, and play Break Oxford. Cambridge. Correct for

Paul Hollywood. Mark? Pass. I can throw it open. Poll Hollywood.

Queen. Rook. Incorrect. I can pass it open.

And that sound signifies it is the end of the round, with 30 minutes

and 42 seconds on the clock, release the first lock.

Let us bring the pairs back together and see how they have done.

Let us look at how much you have earned so far, in last place it is

Brian and Mark with �2,000. In second place Katie and Darren with

�3,000. But just nudging into the lead with �5,000 it is Helen and

Rina. Brian and Mark you have a bit of

work to do if you want to stay in the game. No problem.You are

confident are you? Very.Excellent, that is what like to hear. This is

very much a game of two halves so let us find out if the other halves

have what it takes as Rina, Mark, and Darren take control of the

buzzers, let us get you into In the second round the questions

are worth �2,000 each, double the money, but double the pressure,

because at the end of this round, the pair with the least amount will

be heading home with nothing. I have to warn you Mark and Brian, that is

you at the moment. So, with 28 minutes and 44 seconds

till zero, fingers on buzzers and Benedict Cumberbatch. Correct.

But that sound signifies it is the end of the round with 24 minutes and

48 second seconds till zero, release the second lock.

There it goes. Let us find out who will be leaving us.

APPLAUSE Ladies. God round for you, you

think? We are not sure. No idea.Ben Affleck in Sherlock?

LAUGHTER. You have a slight obsession with Ben

Affleck. Let us look at the score, first into the semi-final with

�11,000 it is Helen and Rina. APPLAUSE

Joining them in second place, with �9,000 it is Katie and Darren.

APPLAUSE But that does mean, unfortunately,

it is Brian and Mark, it is bad news for you. Think anything less than

the potential son-in-law? No, he is fine. Still considering moving into

the family? He is fine. Yes.You played well, I hope you enjoyed

playing the game. We have to get rid of that �6,000 you have earned and

there it goes and say thank you to you for being great players. Let us

hear it for them. APPLAUSE

Congratulations, Helen and Rina and Katie and Darren. You are closer to

breaking the safer. Let's add together �11,000 and �90,000 and see

how much is available to take from the state if you win. �20,000.

�20,000, and that is just the start. It is time to put your relationships

to the test in the semifinal. We and here is the thing. Each one of

you will have to decide whether to answer the question or whether you

trust that your partner knows the answer. Who is taking charge?

Helen. I am in pushover.-- a pushover. Katie and Darren, who is

in charge? I am in, because Darren is a gentleman. Lovely. With 21

minutes and 15 seconds, let's get into position. Katie and Darren, you

have earned the least so far so you will play first. Katie, you must

decide whether you want to answer �40,000 or put your trust in Darren

to answer for double the money, partner? I think and know it but I

wonder and know it but I'm wondering Darren will. I'm going to pass it to

him. Darren, this is a �4000 him. Darren, this is a �4000

question. It is a guess, and it is in the night Garden. Is he right?

You know he's not right. Who do you think it is? Balla Mori. It is not

think it is? Balla Mori. It is not that. -- Balamory. We were looking

for Fireman Sam. You have earned nothing. Now we move over to Helen

and Rina. Helen, it is your it. I will pass over. This becomes a

�4000 question. I am really hoping it is called the iris. I hope she is

right. Helen, Rina, the coloured part of the eye is called the iris.

You have earned �4000. With that, you have put pressure on the other

couple. Well played. Time to switch over and put pressure on your other

halves. We are raising the stakes. The second question is now worth

�4000 or �8,000 depending on who -- would you like to. I'll will pass

it over confidently. This becomes an �8,000 question. The Orient express.

That is what I would said. You are of one mind. I'd have to tell you,

the orient express is the correct is back on Helen and Rina. Rina,

this question is coming to you for over. She is good with food so I'll

pass it back. You will go into the lead if you get this. If you had

taken it yourself, you would have just equalised. Florida.Is she

right? I have no idea.It was not about confidence at all! Helen,

Rina, I can tell you that key lime pie is the official state by of

Florida. -- state pie. You have just earned �8,000. After two questions,

difference between leading the game with nothing more going on to break

the safe. It is worth either �6,000 or �12,000. The question is, do you

want to stay as you are or switch positions? The player at the back

could be answering for the larger amount of money. Helen and Rina, who

do you want at the back? We're going to switch because Helen told me he

had to. -- told me I had to. We are getting an idea of how this

relationship works! We're going to stay as we are, Nick. I'm happy with

that because it worked last time. seems wise. Why change a winning

formula? Let's get into position. With 15 minutes and 43 seconds left,

let's play Break The Safe. Katie and Darren, we're starting with you

you like to answer. Obviously Tom it is a matter of how confident you

are. I'm not certain myself so why will pass it. This becomes a �12,000

question. If you get this wrong, then Helen and Rina go through to

the final anyway. You need this to put the pressure on them and go into

the lead. I'm going to guess at Canada. What you think? I probably

would have guessed Canada. I can tell you, Katie, that Darren, the

next Winter Olympics will be in Russia. Helen and Rina, you are

through to the final no matter what. Katie and Darren cannot catch up to

you. Helen, you could answer the final question for �6,000 or if you

take a chance on Rina answer in, it could be worth �12,000. There is the

would you like to pass it over for �12,000? I think I will pass,

because nothing she will know. -- I think she will know. This is coming

to you, Rina. I think it may be Lady Gaga. Hope she is right!

�12,000, I can tell you, she is better known as Lady Gaga. You have

earned another �12,000! And that is the end of the semifinal. With 12

minutes and 55 seconds left on the clock will stop release the third

lock, please. -- left on the clock. against a formidable couple. They

did not quite work out. It means you are out of the game and so is the

�8,000 that you have earned. Let's watch that disappear. I hope you

have enjoyed playing. Let's hear it for them both.

I noticed that as the other Apple disappeared, they give you some

encouragement. You must be glad to have got to this stage. They were

really friendly. You are now in the last pair are standing and you have

managed to earn �24,000. Let's see how much is now available to take

from the safe if you win. �44,000. �44,000? ! It is a lot of money but

it is only available to win when the countdown hits zero and for just one

second. That is all the time that you will have to prove that you are

the perfect pairing. We are now 11 minutes and one second away from

that moment. But before that, let's head over for the first lottery

draw. We're alive that lottery headquarters.

Hello to everybody at home. Helen and Rina going to get their chance

to break the safe but not before you get the chance to win some cash. I

can tell you that there is a serious amount of cash up for grabs. Because

this is a triple roll-up. -- rollover. Why have another delight

up my sleeve, Shane file and will be starting the draw. He is going to be

joining me to talk solo stuff and your questions. -- Shane Filan. But

first, it is time to start the winning with a chance to win

prize on Thunderball this week. Congratulations if you were one of

them. Congratulations from me, too. Good luck for two nights. --

rollover draw and one of Ireland's's finest. Shane Filan will

be here to push this very button. Welcome back. Helen and Rina,

friends from Caernarfon, or eight minutes and 21 seconds away from

attending to break the safe. Let's mind ourselves how much money is in

the safe. �44,000. -- let's remind ourselves. Friends for 32 years. You

are now in a position where you might actually win the money. What

would you spend it on? A holiday to New York, we already have it

booked. That will come in handy. It will be a good party. I have three

children who are probably already working out how to spend it.

will not have much choice! The money is only available for one seconds so

in this next round, I'm giving you the opportunity to increase the time

that the cash is available. I'm going to ask you to take up your

The bigger the window of opportunity you create, the better the chance

you have of taking the money home tonight. This final round is all

about earning more money or time. You will now face four questions,

each worth more cash to take from the safe or more time with which to

break the safe. We now have only six minutes and 45 seconds. Let's play

the final. I reckon you.Drives me crazy? Ly it.A correct answer is

worth one extra second to break the safe or another �10,000 add to it.

safe or another �10,000 add to it. Clutch. Is she right? I think she

You are not quite sure? OK, the answer is the clutch. Very well

played. APPLAUSE

so what would you like at this stage, another second to help you

break the safe or to add �10,000 to the 44,000 you have in there. What

is more important, time or money? Time. Time. Both definite?Yes.

have earned yourself one extra second. Very well played.

Shall I go for it? Rina, it is Shall I go for it? Rina, it is

coming to you. China.What do you think? I hope she is right.I can

tell you, Helen, Rina, it originate originated in China. Very well

played. Well, it the same question again,

earned yourself another second. -- still.

Rina, is it going to be you? Yes. What do you think, Rina? Victory?

have no idea. Helen, I can tell you that Rina, your buddy, has got the

correct answer. It is Victory. APPLAUSE

Ladies what a great decision to hand over to Rina. You have the second

question again, what is it going to be. Still time? Time.So far you

have manage managed three extra seconds. Your fourth and final

question is your last chance to add more time in which to break the safe

or bank more money into it. The final category is Bad Hair Day.

final category is Bad Hair Day. What do you think? David Hofman.

What do you think? Hasselhoff.You think she has the wrong name.

You were looking for Hasselhoff, so that is incorrect. Which means you

have missed the opportunity for one extra second or �10,000.

That is the end of the final round. Now, with only two minutes, and 14

seconds still zero, release the fourth lock.

Of all the experiences you have been through, how does this compare?

have had lots of experiences but this has to top them all. It is the

scariest. It will get scarier still. There are now just two locks left

and only Helen and Rina can unlock them. You now have four seconds to

break the safe. And claim the �44,000. To break the safe you need

precision timing, because when that countdown hits 30 seconds it will

disappear from view. And it is up to you to take over the counting to

zero. When you both think it has hit zero,

you then have a further four seconds to break the safe. If one of you

gets it right, you can take home half the money, if both of you get

it right, the �44,000 is yours. In front of you, are your

deactivation Button, they are now live. -- buttons. So you can't be

influenced when to press, this wall will ensure you cannot communicate.

Can we please have complete silence in the studio. Remember at zero,

safe. Press too early or too late, it is game over.

The countdown is only going to be there for a few more second, get the

timing in your heads, Helen and Rina, the countdown is about to

all right? Yes.You look more calm. I'm not. She is the calm one

wanted to kebg what method you were usinger, Rina you had a right groove

going. One rhinoceros, two rhinoceros.

Yourself? Rhinoceroses for me.Did you decide between you it was

rhinoceroses? We are verifying your timings. It has been done by an

independent adjudicator who is scrutinising the result, have either

of you managed to break the safe to claim half the cash, or have you

both played the perfect game, and managed to claim the full �44,000 in

the safe? You don't know the result, I don't know the result. But we soon

will know the result, rights after the second of tonight's lottery

draw, see you in a moment. Make sure you come back.

How tense was that? Now, as part of a supergroup Westlife our guest had

14 number one singles in the UK, now he has taken on the music charts all

by himself. It is Shane Filan. Welcome to Lottery HQ buddy. How you

doing? Welcome. I have a bit question for you, as a fan myself I

was disappointed when you split up, is this something you have planned

along the way, to have a solo career? It was after the band, when

we decided to split it was straight away, I think to the decision was

made, more or less straight away, and it is like a year-and-a-half

ago. Fun times though.Amazing. 14 years. What style is it?It is very

folky, poppy, country, you know, it is a mixture. A bit different to

Westlife. We have a little clip of # I don't need the sunshine shrining

on my face # I don't need ferkion to have the

perfect day # I want to see you happy

Angeles, it was out in the desert, there was 81 people working on it. I

was humbled by the whole thing. seems like a great laugh. Sarah

wants to know, going solo does it feel weird being without the boys?

It is. Somebody said it there, it is just a lot quieter, it is a bit of

getting used to every day. I am getting more used to it. But it is

exciting and it is fresh, so I am looking forward to it. One from GB

Army. If you could duet with anybody who would it be? Mariah Carey.That

would be cool. Or Adele.You didn't mention me there. Just throwing it

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds

So millionaires row looks like this tonight.

Right, that is it is from us, thank you very much Shane, for joining us,

I love the way you smashed that. That was brilliant. OJ will be here

next Saturday for the weekend draw, Welcome back to the National Lottery

Break The Safe. We are keen to find out whether Helen an Rina are about

to break �44,000, out of the safe. I can tell you their timings have now

been veritied -- verified by an independent adjudicator to ensure

absolute accuracy. There are two locks left to open. One is for you

Helen, the other is for you Rina, only you can release them. These

lights represent a second in which the 44,000 was available to you. If

you pressed in one of the seconds when you could have broken the safe,

the light will turn green, like so. And your lock will release.

If not, it will turn red. Like this, and your lock will remain

shut. If one of you gets the green light you will get half of the

�44,000 in the safe. If you both get a green light all the �44,000 will

be yours, if it is a red light all the way, you go home with nothing.

You understand? OK. . Good luck to both of you. I will come between you

and let us decide who to go first. Helen, let us start with you.

In the first available second, did you press your button? Did you

you press your button? Did you manage to break the safe? It is a

no. All right. Well, let us see how we go over here. Rina, let us see

whether you can do what your best buddy couldn't do.

In that first second. Did you press your button, did you manage to break

your button, did you manage to break the safe? It's a no as well.

OK. If you had to guess would you say you were early or late. Early.

You think you might be early. I was early. No idea. You got more

chances left. Here we go in the next available second, Helen, Rina, did

Let's do yours next. Rina in the next available second, did you

manage to Pez press your button, did you manage to break the safe? This

you manage to break the safe? This It's a no again.

It should feel like you were getting closer, I know it feels like you

were getting further. We need to even this out. Helen, did you manage

to do what Rina could not in that third of available second? Did you

manage to press the button and break probably it now. We have one last

chance. This is where we need it to work. Let's start with you, Helen.

Did you press on the last available second? Did you manage to break the

denied, access tonight. -- Access denied. Block stays closed. I am

afraid that we have to lose half of the amount that is in the safe. So

Rina, did you press, in the very last available second, and is that's

�22,000 about to be yours? Did you you can see, access is denied and a

lot is secure. So do go home empty-handed but with your arms

around each other. This is obviously a great friendship. And a small quiz

show is not going to make any difference. It is a hard blow to

take but still best buddies? Yes. Fantastic players and great

competitors. They missed out on �44,000 but joined me next time were
