Episode 2 The National Lottery: Break the Safe

Tonight, just one second stands between winning or losing up to

?100,000. Get the timing right and the money is one, get it wrong and

it has gone for ever. You will have a perfect combination to Break the

Safe. Hello and welcome to the National

Lottery Break the Safe. This evening, three players will battle

it out to play for up to ?100,000. It will require teamwork and

precision timing. When the countdown hits zero will the should be

available for the taking. It sounds simple, but it is tougher than you

think. Let's meet the players. First it is colleagues and best friends,

Natasha and Emily who live in London. They work in advertising and

say they spend 95% of their time together.

Next it is Tom and Lauren from Taunton. Lauren is a hairdresser and

Tom is a transport controller. Lauren said Tom is her big teddy

bear. Will this toy story be a happy story at the end of the show?

Finally it is Father and son, Rees and Carey from Bucks. Rees says he

has the looks and his dad will do the rest. Can they work together to

Break the Safe tonight? Natasha, Emily. Work colleagues,

best friends? Did you like each other straightaway? Did you like me,

Emily? No, I thought she was stuck up. What gave you that impression.

She came in really glamorous and I thought, we will not get on. Then we

went to the pub and realised we were two lonely Northerners. We had to

stick together. You don't sound very northern? I am from Stoke. When the

money tonight, what is going to happen? Shoes, Vegas. Handbags. You

are going to do the job tonight? Yes. Tom, you are a big and slightly

scary man. But you call him a big teddy bear? I love walking down the

street with him, he is like my personal bouncer. What do you

collect? Toys. Limited edition. Cartoon characters. If you go in the

spare room it is wall to wall with toys. I would not in a million years

have put you down as doing that. As a couple you will do better than the

best friends, you think? We know enough about our different interests

to make it work. Better than father and son, Rees and Carey. How old are

you? I am 20. I am the father of a 20-year-old son, how long in the

date do you spend winding your father up? 25 hours. Because he is a

businessman, he has to introduce himself. Father and son is going to

work, because? Blood is thicker than water. Best of luck to all of you.

This safe contains ?100,000. How much they can get from it is down to

how much they bank throughout the game. Lock the save. -- safe. Six

locks are now in place. I will release the first four but the last

two can only be released by our contestants. Activate the countdown.

Only when the countdown gets to zero will the cash be available to break

from the safe. At the window of opportunity to win the cash will be

very small, literally one second. Which of our three pairs will make

it to that moment? We will test your teamwork because each question has a

two part and such. We both need to give a correct answer to learn the

?100,000. Only one of you will have control of the buzzer. Natasha,

Lauren and Rhys, you are in control first with 35 minutes and 20 seconds

until zero. Let's get you into position and play Break the Safe.

Fingers on others. Here is the first question:

McFly. Carey Ashton Mark I don't know. Busted. Ruby. Diamond. Correct

for ?1000. Blue. Green. Incorrect. Blue. White. Correct for ?1000.

Jimmy. Allen. Very well played. ?1000.

Eto'o. Spoon. Correct for ?1000. Euro. Investigation. Correct for

?1000. Pilchard. Jess. Also correct. Barcelona. Incorrect. Atletico

Madrid. Real Madrid. Correct for ?1000. Look. Listen. Correct for

1000. Natasha? Time-out. Cicely. Sardinia. Correct for 1000.

Beatrice. Eugenie. Correct for 1000. Baker. Candlestick maker. Incorrect.

But sure. Baker. Correct for ?1000. That is the end of the round with 32

minutes and 12 seconds on the countdown clock. Release the first

lock. Let's bring you back together and see how they have done. What an

interesting round. If I start at the far end with Rhys. Not a fan of

busted or McFly? Not. Have you played that in your room? I will be.

Trailing is Carey and Rhys on ?3000. Lauren and Tom are on ?4000 but in

the league is Natasha and Emily on ?5,000. It is time to switch

control. Emily, Tom and Carey, your turn on the buzzer. Can the other

halves be the better halves? Get into position. In this round the

questions are worth ?2000 each. At the end of this round the pair with

the least amount of money will be heading home with nothing. With 30

minutes and 29 seconds until zero, fingers on the buzzers.

Joan. Don. Correct the ?2000. Tasmania. Incorrect. Australia. New

Zealand. Correct the ?2000. Cheers home. Brown. Correct. March.

Incorrect. April. Is correct, Natasha. June. Incorrect we were

looking for November and April. Not big Champagne drinkers? We were

looking from Magnum. Dakota. Carolina. Correct the ?2000. Out of

time. Blondie. Atomic Kitten. Salvador. Pablo. Well played.

Another ?2000. Rhys, Carey, you need to pick your game up. Dove.

Incorrect I can throw it open. We were looking for carb and pen.

Robert De Niro. Sylvester Stallone. Correct. The F. The letter Eto'o.

Correct the ?2000. Jekyll and Hyde. Correct the ?2000. That sound means

it is the end of the round with 27 minutes and six seconds until zero.

Let's release the second block. Let's find out who will be leaving

others. That was a tight round. Difficult for me to pick holes in

that only to say male and female swan, dove? I am going to blame it

on my nerves. That was the tub round for you. I did seem to know most of

those, but he didn't. I knew most of those in the first round. Let's look

at the scores. First through is Lauren and Tom with ?14,000. Joining

them with ?11,000 is Natasha and Emily. Unfortunately son and

father, Carey and Rhys, on ?5,000 we have two lose you and we have two

lose the ?5,000. It just never took off for you, never quite in sync. I

think that is always going to be the way with a 20-year-old son and

father. But it does seem as though you do have a great relationship

will stop let's hear it for Rhys and Carey.

Congratulations to Natasha and Emily, Lauren and Tom, you are

closer to breaking the safe. This round will decide which of you will

make it into the final. Let's add together the cash you manage to win

that round and see what is available if you win tonight. ?25,000. That is

a fantastic amount of money. That would buy a lot of toys. I did look

at that and think yes. Time to test your relationships and find out

between work colleagues and partners who will make it through to the

final. Your scores have been reset to zero. Let's get started again and

play Break the Safe. Each pair will face three questions. One of you

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

trust your partner to answer the question for double the money. Who

wants control of the decision-making first? Who will be in control first?

It is me. Tom and Lauren, who is taking control first? Me. 23 minutes

and four seconds until zero, let's get you into position. Natasha and

Emily, you have earned the least so you play first. Do you want to

answer the ?2000 or do you want Emily to and suffer ?4000? Here is

the question: Would you like to answer the ?2000 or would you trust

Emily for the answer for the greater sum of ?4000? I would love to answer

this question but I am going to pass it to Emily. This is a ?4000

question, which English Premiership team: Leads. Natasha, is she right?

It is Stoke City. Who is from Stoke Ashton Mark me, her best friend. I

am a Port Vale fan. We have never been to see them play. It is Stoke

City which means unfortunately you did not earn any cash. Perhaps you

should have taken it for yourself if you knew. Over two Lauren and Tom.

Lauren, you have the same decision. Would you like to Palais yourself or

pass it on to your partner? I am 100% sure, so I will play it myself.

Downton Abbey. Tom, what do you think? I wouldn't have had a clue.

You were right to take it. You have just bank ?2000. Let's increase the

cash on offer. It is worth either ?4000 or eight thousand pounds,

depending on who answers. Let's put the pressure on your other halves.

Emily, are you going to and suffer ?4000 or can you depend on your work

colleague to get it right for the greater sum of ?8,000? Would you

like to answer or would you like your best mate to answer? I am

super-confident Natasha will know the answer. Natasha, it is coming to

you for ?8,000. Halley Berry. Is she right. That is what I would have

said. She has just won ?8,000. You are still in the game and fighting.

We go over to Lauren and Tom. Would you like to and see yourself or pass

it on to Lauren for the larger sum of ?8,000? I will pass it to

Lauren. It is coming to you. ?8,000 question. The Mendips. What do you

think, Tom. It is in Somerset. Tom, can I take it you passed it over

because you did not have a clue? It was a great decision.

because you did not have a clue? Lauren is absolutely right despite

the expression on her face. Back in the league it is touch and go.

?12,000 whoever answers the question.

You can stay where you are, or switch. Bearing in mind the person

at the back is the one answering for ?12,000.

I will start with you Emily. Have a discussion, or not. Tell me which

way around it will be? Are you nervous? Yes.

I shall stay here? Yes. That was true friendship. So you are

taking the bullet, then Natasha? Yes.

Lauren? Tom? Yeah, definitely switch.

There you go, Tom. We will switch. Let's continue to play Break The

Safe. Natasha and Emily, here is the

question: Do you want to take it yourself, or

pass it back to Natasha? Natasha has better taste in music than I have.

Natasha. It is your question: Michael

Jackson? Is she right? I think she is.

I have to tell you that the answer we were looking for was... Michael

Jackson. You earned yourselves another ?12,000.

The pressure is on now. I was going to say on Lauren and

Tom. But not on Lauren it is on Tom's shoulders. A ?6,000 answer is

not enough to get you into the final. That will have to go back to

Tom? Yes. Here is the question: Passing it?

Passing on to Tom. Here is the question: I can see the

film. Is it Bank Collector? What do you think, Lauren? I don't know.

I have to tell you, the answer that we were looking for is... You have

not given me the correct answer. You have handed the game to Natasha and

Emily. Congratulations you are in the final.

That sounds means it is the end of the round. With 14 minutes and 50

seconds until zero, let's release the third lock, please. Let's bring

you all back together. Well, Lauren, Tom, you played so

well. It came down to you, Tom. That is tough. If you know it you know

it, if you don't, you don't. But there were no choices, were there?

No. Are you OK? I will give you a little

hug... Mate! A little emotional myself.

You were fantastic players. You must be proud of how you played.

Extremely proud. Unfortunately, you have to lose. You

lose the ?10,000 and we have to say goodbye. But you enjoyed yourselves?

Yes. You have been fantastic contestants.

Totally fallen in love with you. Good luck with everybody you do in

the future. Good luck, Lauren and Tom, ladies and gentlemen.

I thought you thought you were in trouble when you lost the first

question? I thought I was going to cry. I did not think we would get a

question right. I am in shock. Natasha, best friends, she did the

job for you? She is a superstar, I knew she would.

You are in the final, having seen off the competition. Seen off the

fathers, the father and the son. And you managed to earn yourselves

?20,000. Let's add it to the cash in the safe. Let's see what is

available for you to take home if you win tonight... ?45,000! I'm in

shock. I'm in shock we are here. I love that about your relationship.

When you are under pressure, asking if you need help, if you are nervous

it is great. I thought you were going to be the stern one but

Natasha has hidden strengths doesn't she? Yes. We are chalk and cheese

but that is how we work. Now what is going on? If I blew

?22,000 on a handbag, my mum would kill me. So I think it would have to

go to grown up things, houses and stuff.

The same. I would put it towards a deposit on a flat.

No better a thing to do. Best of luck in terms of winning it.

You have little time to prove that you are the perfect pair and break

the safe. We are 11 minutes and 16 seconds from the moment. Will they

do it? Who knows. For now, let's head over to the first of tonight's

lottery draws. See you in a moment. Welcome to the National Lottery

Live. ?45,000 up for grabs for Natasha and Emily. Will they be able

to count their way to winning? We will find later on. Now, time for

two opportunities to win huge sums for yourselves. The Thunderball

prize is coming up soon. Then the big one. The big Lotto Draw with a

seven-figure jackpot that could put a smile on your face. And not one

but four stars to push the Lotto button. They have been together for

two years, with their new tour about to start. Maybe they can bring luck

to you, the Vamps are starting the draw. Before, there is time to

remind you that voting is open for the National Lottery awards

finalists. Seven categories have made it through to the final. Each

category represents an area of National Lottery Funding. The

winners are to be selected later this year at a star-studded

ceremony, so cast your vote to the project you think should win.

Just go online and follow the links. Back to your chance now to win half

a million pounds. Here is Thunderball.

Let's start up the first machine, please.

The drawmaster is Matt Chamberlain. The draws overseen by an independent

adjudicator. Excalibur was selected by our

selector in Bognor Regis. Good luck everyone.

Which of these will be first to appear before us?

Three opportunities to play the game, Wednesdays, Thursday Fridays

and Saturdays. Well, all the tickets are in play.

If you have not made a match with any of the numbers drawn, do keep

watching. You have a chance to win a prize by matching with just the

Thunderball alone. Let's find out what it is:

Here are the numbers: Thank you thank you, the big Lotto Draw is

coming up soon. Started by Vamps. First, it is back to Nick and Break

The Safe. See you soon. Welcome back to the National

Lottery, Break The Safe. Natasha and Emily are seven minutes and 35

seconds from attempting to Break The Safe. Let's find how much cash is

available in the safe if they win tonight. ?45,000! So, that ?45,000

is in the safe. It can be taken when the countdown hits zero and is

available for one second. In the next round there is a chance to

increase the time or the cash available. Are you ready? Yes.

If you take up the positions please, let's play, Break The Safe.

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

chance of taking home the money. Four more questions, each one you

get right you choose either an extra ?10,000 from the safe or a further

second in which you can Break The Safe. What is more important to you,

time or money? We are about to find out. Six minutes and 30 seconds

until zero, let's play the final round. Both of you must answer two

questions each. The first category is, Hole In One. Who is to take this

one. . Your aunty has a golf club, so you should do this. My step

sister used to be a pro-golfer. She will kill me if I get this one

wrong. Are you taking it? Yes.

Here is the question: The Open? Do you know? I don't have a clue.

It is the Rider Cup. There are three more questions, let's press on. The

next category is A Good Egg. Shall I do it? Go on, go for it.

What is the name of the sauce used to make eggs Benedict? Beach mal.

Is she right? No, hollandaise. It is.

I cannot offer you an extra second or ?10,000.

You have both answered one question, who wants to take this one? You want

to go for it? Why not. Emily is having this one:.

It is worth an extra second or ?10,000.

Minute? Is she right? I have no idea.

The answer that we were looking for is meridian.

One more question, Natasha it has to come to you. The category is a Funny

Family. Here is the question:

I have no idea. I have never seen it. I don't know.

Emily, do you know it? I don't have a clue.

We were looking for Brendan owe carol. That was the last time to

earn more money or time to break the safe. That is the end of the round.

The situation remains that you have a second in which the clock reaches

zero to hit your buttons and win the money. It is a large amount of

money. You have practised, you know that you can do this. What are the

tactics? I have learned a rap. A slightly different, I can't say it

out loud on TV. It is rude but it helps me to count to 30 seconds.

Whatever works for you. That is the main thing. Please, release the

fourth clock. There it goes. There are two crucial

locks left to open. Only Natasha and Emily can release them.

Ladies, breathe. Calm yourselves down. Start to work on it. You know

you can do this. It is tough but you have to clear from your head the

idea you have the one second. It is lots of time if you can do it. Are

you feeling confident, Natasha? Yes. Emily, are you feeling confident?

Extremely confident. This is the bit we have practised. We can do this.

All you have to do is get the heart rate down, start to breathe and

concentrate. To break the safe you need precision timing. When the

countdown reaches 30 seconds it will disappear from view, it is up t to

you to take over the counting to zero. In front are the deactivation

buttons. They are now live. When you think that the countdown has hit

zero, you have one further second to Break The Safe.

If just one of you presses at the right time, you will take home half

of the money, that is ?220,000. The countdown in the studio will be

here for a few more seconds. If you are playing along at home, you will

see the 30 seconds tick away and the time to break the safe. Can we

please have complete silence here in the studio.

Concentrate on the clock. Start to pick up the rhythm.

Natasha and Emily, get the timings in your head. The countdown is about

to disappear. There are no watches or mobiles in the studio. Natasha

and Emily are keeping time. Can they control their emotions.

That sound means both Natasha and Emily have pressed their

deactivation buttons. Come and join me. I have to say, you seem very

calm. How do you thing you have done? Maybe we did OK. I want the

money. How are you feeling, Emily? I don't know. It is impossible to

understand the pressure you are under when you are doing it, no

matter how many times you have rehearsed it. There is one second

standing behind you and ?45,000. An independent adjudicator is

scrutinising the results. Has one of you manage to rate this safe? I

really hope you have. We will soon know after the lottery draw. We will

be back in a moment. That was so close. They have only

been together two years but have supported McFly, Selena Gomez and

Taylor Swift on tour. Tomorrow they will be performing alongside the

backstreet boys in Hyde Park. Please welcome The Vamps. Such a huge

amount of success in two years. Has life changed dramatically? We are a

lot easier than we used to be. We have been on tour a lot recently and

getting the album out is a huge thing. It has been amazing fun and

we enjoyed every minute. Three singles already. You have your

fourth out and you are doing it with Demi Lovato. Shall we have a quick

look? That look like a giggle. She was one

of our top candidates that we wanted to work with. Our producer played

the song and she liked it. I thought you might have gone for Taylor

Swift. You have got a soft spot for her. And the girls love you. They

are called the Vampettes. You have literally been chased, have a new?

Yes, they are called the Vampettes. You have one big love in your life

which is Rex. My bearded dragon, my pet lizard. That will keep the girls

away. Thanks very much indeed. Will you bring some luck to everybody at

home today. We are going to try. Here is the lotto.

Let's release those weekend balls. ?4.2 million is the estimated

jackpot. We are using Guinevere and the second set of balls. Over ?24

million has been one on lotto this week. It could be your turn tonight.

OK, The Vamps it is over to you. Good luck. Number 15 is the first

one tonight. 34, also drawn Wednesday before last. Said to be

drawn this Saturday night is number eight. You will find eight digits

and the colour on your raffle tickets. Number 23 drawn three

weapons days ago today before that. Number 28 also drawn last

Saturday night. And this for the Jack pot. Number 24. We now need the

bonus. Tonight looks a bit like that, which is number nine. In

ascending order: Thank you to The Vamps. Don't forget

to check your tickets to see if you have won one of the 50 prizes of

?20,000 in the lotto raffle. Results will be available later on the red

button or by visiting our website. Just follow the links. You can watch

this lotto, Thunderball and Euro millions draws by visiting the

website. I will be here next Saturday night. In the meantime it

is back over to Nick Knowles the Break the Safe.

Welcome back. Hope you were lucky tonight. Natasha and Emily had just

the one second in which to break the say. What we needed was accuracy. We

are keen to find out whether Natasha and Emily from London are about to

break ?45,000 from the safe. The Times have been verified by in

independent adjudicator. What is your sense at the moment, do you

think you are close? Absolutely no idea. My gut says that maybe we have

just missed it. I know we were nervous. It is so scary. All that

money could just counting 30 seconds and you doubt yourself in your head.

When there is that kind of pressure and money, you forget your own name.

There are just two locks to open. One is for you Natasha, one is for

you, Emily. But with a one second window of opportunity, you are up

against it. Let's find out, did you Break the Safe. Your lock will go

green if you are successful and it will open. If not, it will turn red

and remain locked. If one of you manages to open, you will half of

the money. If both of you have successfully released your locks,

all of the ?45,000 is yours. But if it is red lights all round, they

will stay closed and you will go home with nothing. Is that ?45,000

about to be yours? Normally I would stand between you and tell you what

is happening, but I will not do that because you have supported

yourselves throughout this. I want you to be stood together when you

find out how this goes. Emily, we will start with you. Did you manage

to press in that very precise moment, that tiny window of time and

unlock your locker? Did you Break the Safe?

Access denied. You didn't.

OK. Well, that is tough, obviously. But you knew it would be tough to

hit the window of opportunity. ?45,000. We have to lose half of

that money. You cannot win that half. So we are down to 22,500. But

not an utter disaster. You still have ?22,500 to win. That is good.

Do you think you have done it? I don't know! I will stop asking silly

questions. I will reveal if you have or not.

Is that lock about to open? Is that money about to be yours? Did you

Break The Safe? Yes! Access granted. Access granted.

Get in there! APPLAUSE.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. That is unbelievable! That's

unbelievable. That is fantastic! ?22,500! Wow! Let's not mess about,

let's get that ?22,500 out of the safe. Upton the wall where we can

have a good look at it. Here it comes... ?22,500.

You are in tears there, are you OK? She cries at everything.

She is allowed to cry at this one. How fantastic is that. What are you

going to spend it on? A big present for Natasha. I think that we deserve

a holiday. You don't know a watch, do you? ! It

has been a great night here. Natasha and Emily, work colleagues from

London have just won ?22,500 by splitting one second. Join me next

week when our pairs think that they have the perfect combination to

Break The Safe. Congratulations, Natasha and Emily.

Well played. Have a great holiday. The winning Thunderball and the

Lotto numbers are on the screen.le full result is available later on

this evening or viewa the website at: From all of us, a very good

night to you.
