Episode 3 The National Lottery: Break the Safe

between winning or losing up to ?100,000. Get the timing right and

the money is won. Get it wrong and it's gone for ever. Who will have

the perfect combination to Break the Safe?

Hello and welcome to the National Lottery Break the Safe, with

tonight's big-money draws. Three pairs will battle it out to play for

up to ?100,000. Winning the cash will require teamwork and precision

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

Only when it hits zero well the cash banks be there for the taking. It

seems so simple, but it's tougher than you think, as tonight's players

are about to find out. First, Carol and Gemma from Birmingham. Carroll

says she is the bossy one and Gemma loves to be on time. They are both

teachers, but will these in-laws be able to teach the competition a

lesson? Next, sign language interpreters and friends Simon and

Tom from Leeds. At work, they say there is no one better to share a

cup of tea with. Can there is no one better to share a

cup of tea with. they win the cash? Finally,

there is no one better to share a cup of tea with. they win father and

daughter Ron and Steph from Britain. They love spending time together.

Ron works wake car Manufacturer and Steph works in an opticians.

Hello, sisters-in-law? Who is in charge? You don't want to

Hello, sisters-in-law? Who is in charge? You don't want say or she

will tell you off? You are the bossy one? So Gemma thinks. Why is this

relationship going to work better than others we have seen tonight? We

are kindred spirits. We are both primary school teachers, both

mothers, we share tips and advice and know each other very well. What

would you spend the money on? A big family holiday. I would do the same.

There will be a lot of people cheering for you at home! You would

have to get past the other contestants, including Alan and Tom,

work colleagues? Why did you start doing sign language? My mother moved

in with a deaf blokes, and she is partially deaf herself.

Conversations around the dinner table were awkward. This flapping

movement. So I thought I should fix that up. It was a class full of

girls, I did it when I was 16. So, 29 girls and me, I thought, I'll do

that. And it turned into your career? Could have been worse! Why

is this relationship going to be better? We've got each other's back.

We have to trust each other with everything. Well, you will have to

get past father and daughter Ron and Steph. Who is in charge? Eldest

daughter? That makes sense. What sort of dad is he? The most kind and

generous person. If I rang him at 3:30am and said I was in trouble, he

would just... In fact, he has done, more than once. If we do win money,

it would prompt the boyfriend to propose, because we would be able to

afford to get married. He doesn't know he's going to propose yet? Have

you told him when to surprise you? We have just bought a house, so he

will eventually. Like I say, he does need a bit of a push. It's only been

six years, I'm still waiting. You don't want to rush into these

things! Let's hear it for our contestants.

Lovely pairs. This safe contains ?100,000. How much of that money

they can break from it is down to how much they can anchor through the

game. Block the safe. -- a bank through the game. Lock the safe.

Safe locked. Six blocks are in place. I'll release the first four,

the last two can only be unlocked by the contestants. Activate the

countdown. Countdown activated. Only when it hits zero will the cash

banks be available. The window to win it will be very small, just one

second. Which of the three pairs will

round it is about how in sync you are with one another. Each question

Let's look at the scores. Let's see, she would have earned in that first

round. Trailing behind is Ron and Steph. Sitting pretty in the middle

are Alun and Tom. After a sticky start, they have raced into the

lead, Gemma and Carol Howard ?4000. -- Gemma and Carol Howard ?4000.

It's time to switch control. With a change of guard book you a place in

the semifinal? Let's find out and get you into position. It's up to

Ron and Steph to try to get back in the game and get on top. Twice the

cash, twice the pressure. At the end of the round, the pair with the

least amount of money will be heading home with nothing. It's

fairly crucial, this round. 30 minutes, ten seconds until we hit

zero. Let's continue to plague Break the Safe. -- play. In 2014, who won

Release the second lock. Let's reunite them and find out who will

be leaving us. You have both read 50 Shades Of

Grey. How did you know the answer? I was listening. And Tom, how did you

know? Maybe it would have been a big SLI if it was Christian and Sharon?

She's a naughty lady, Sharon. That was a tough round. At one stage, we

could see your lips moving but we couldn't hear anything coming out.

First in the semifinal, Gemma and Carol.

Also, Alun and Tom. It means that Father and daughter Ron and Steph

have to go. First, we have to lose the ?2000 that you managed to end.

I hope you've enjoyed playing? It's been great. We've loved having you

here to play. Congratulations to the others, you

are one step closer to breaking the safe. This decides who will make it

through to the final. Let us add up what you have got so far and what is

available if you win tonight. ?17,000!

A nice chunk of money. You could accrue a lot more to that total.

Time to test your relationship once again and find out who will make it

through to the final. Your scores have been reset. Let's play Break

the Safe. Each pair will face three questions.

One of you will have to decide whether you want to answer or trust

your partner to double the money. Who wants to take control of the

decision-making? I will go to the front first. You

did say she was bossy! Who is in charge? I will stay. 22

minutes until zero. Let us get you in position.

You weren't released so far so you play first. Alan, you must decide

whether you want to answer. Here is your question. Do you want

to answer or trust your mate with the answer?

I haven't got a clue. I will give Tom the one in seven chance.

This is going to you, a bit of pressure, ?4000 riding on this.

Thursday? Is he right? I would have gone on Sunday. That is

interesting. If you had held onto it must you would have been right.

Sunday is the correct answer. As a result, it means you have not earned

any money. Let us go across, a chance for the

lead. Your question. Do you want to answer yourself fit

?2000? Or trust your sister-in-law? I know this. I think she will know

it as well. A bit of trust from your sister in law.

It is worth ?4000 and the lead. The Scouts. I would have said the

same answer. Absolutely right. Scouts is the right answer, you have

earned yourself ?4000. Let's increase the cash on offer,

this is worth up to ?8,000 depending on who answers. Let us switch the

control and put the pressure on your other half.

Let us go back over to Alan and Tom. This is the question. Would you like

to answer yourself, or trust your workmate?

I think I need to trust him. Tom, this goes back to Alan. ?8,000. And

to get back into the game. I have not got a clue.

No answer. It was Michael Crichton.

No? No score that either. Back over now. Here is your

question. Do you want to answer yourself, or

would you like to pass it back to your sister in law for ?8,000, and

you can put a lot of pressure on the boys.

I think she might know this, I will pass it back.

?8,000, here is the question. Crimson Field. I would have gone

with that. Crimson Field. I would

The answer we were looking for was exactly that, very well played, you

have earned yourself ?8,000. After two questions, these are the

scores. Alan and Tom have not got off the mark. Gemma and Carol macro

are in the lead. You now have a choice, do you want

to stay as you are all switch positions. Knowing that the person

at the back will be answering for ?12,000.

Yes, we will stay. I have been told! We will swap it around.

Let us continue to play Break the Safe.

Alan and Tom, we start with you. Alan, there is an instant pass. Tom,

this is coming to you, ?12,000 and to keep you in the game.

I am going to go with a violin. What do you think? You don't know.

If violin is the correct answer, you have drawn level. If, however, you

are wrong, it means you are out of the game, and Gemma and Carol are

through all ready to play in the final.

I have to tell you the answer is bagpipes, I'm afraid. Violin was the

wrong answer, and you are out of the game. I am sorry for you but it

means Gemma and Carol, it is good news for you, you are through to the

final already. APPLAUSE A really tough round, boys.

Unfortunately, we can't give you a selection of questions you would

like to answer. It doesn't work that way! We know who is going through,

congratulations. You have one question left. It is crucial. This

would boost your winnings nicely. Which of you will answer this? Let

me put the questions to you. Would you like to answer this

yourself or pass it on? ?12,000. I will have to pass it back

because I do not know. Carol? Indonesia. What you think?

No idea. The answer were looking for is the Seychelles. It means you

haven't heard anything but it does not matter because you are through

to the finals, very well played. APPLAUSE That is the end of the

round. 14 minutes and 30 seconds until

zero. Release the third block. Let us bring you back together.

It is kind of tough, that. You thought you knew the answers to the

other questions, it's just the way it falls. The truth of the matter is

you either know things or you don't. But let's put it this way, you are

out! Guys, you have been great fun. I am

sorry you didn't make it through to the next round. Let us hear it for

Alan and Tom! APPLAUSE Congratulations, you have

seen of the petition. And earned yourself ?12,000. Let us

add that to the cash and see what is available to take home if you win

tonight. ?29,000!

That's a nice chunk of money, isn't it? And it is still building,

remember. You look slightly shell-shocked. I

am, to be honest. Just the fact we have come through.

You have seen them all off. The money is only available when the

countdown is zero, and one seconds, the time they have to prove they are

the perfect pair. Will they do it?

Let us head over to the first of tonight's Lottery draws.

See you in a moment. Thanks, well done to Gemma and Carol

so far. Welcome to the National Lottery life. And your two chances

to win. The Thunderball draw with a top prize of half ?1 million is

coming up. After that, the big Lotto draw with a seven figure win. Our

guest tonight has worked very hard for his success as a sportsman and

Anniversary Games in London. Ewan Thomas will be starting the draw a

little later. Let us get started. Your chance to

win half ?1 million. Here is Thunderball.

Start that first machine, please. The draw has been overseen by an

independent adjudicator. They were selected at random earlier today.

Over six million pounds has been paid out Gracnar ?3.6 million has

been paid out in prizes. Good luck, everyone. Here we go.

The first one is about to appear before us. Don't forget, a total of

39 to pick from in this machine. That is how the game works.

Three opportunities each week to play this.

The top prize is ?500,000. And finally from the first machine.

Start up that second machine, please.

Let us wish everyone taking part in next week in the anniversary run

good luck. If you haven't matched any balls

yet, keep watching, because you still have a chance with matching

the Thunderball alone. Let us find out what it is.

Here are the Thunderball numbers again, this time, in ascending

order. Thanks, the big Lotto draw is coming

up very soon which tonight will be started by sporting hero Ewan

Thomas. Don't forget the voting is over for this year's National

hard work of so many people across areas such as education, health and

sport. You can areas such as education, health and

sport. You vote for the project you think most deserves to win online.

Back now to Break the Safe. Welcome back to Break the Safe where

Gemma and Carol are eight minutes and 22 seconds away from attempting

to break the safe. ?29,000 is available.

Everyone must be going mad at home. That can only be taken when the

countdown hits zero and is only available for one second.

There is a chance to increase the time or the cash available. Are you

ready? Let's play Break the Safe. you can create, the better the

chance you have of taking home the money. Four more questions, everyone

you get right, you can choose an extra ?10,000 to take from the safe

or a further second in which you can break it. What is more important,

time or money? Time, definitely. You can make that choice as you go

along. There is now only seven minutes and 14 seconds until zero.

Let's play the final round. Gemma and Carol, both of you must answer

to questions each. The first category is Know The Score. Gemma, I

think that might be football? Do you want to take that? You have gone

quiet, are you all right? Yes. Are you sure?

Cricket. What do you think? I would have said that as well. The answer

we were looking for is... Cricket. Very well done, very well played.

There is a chance now for extra time or money. Which is it you would

like? Under -- another second or... I have hardly finished telling you

and you had decided. You know you need the time. When the countdown

hits zero you will now have to microseconds in which to Break the

Safe. Let's take another category. Either of you can take this at this

stage. I think you should. You think it might be geography? You might be

stronger than me. You take it. All right then.

Jalapeno? What do you think? The only one I know is Scotch bonnet.

Unlikely to be a Mexican state. That means I can't offer you an

extra second, the answer is Tabasco. Shall I take it? Magicians, maybe?

OK. Is that one of your specialist subjects? I'm a little bit older, I

might know some of the older ones. answer. You have the choice, an

extra ?10,000 or an extra second? Shall we take the second? We have

another question. OK, when the time gets down to zero you will have

three seconds in which to try and get your hands on the ?29,000. One

more question. The subject category is A Big Draw.

Yorkshire? As good an answer as any, I think. I can tell you, the

correct answer is... Kent. It is in Kent. A beautiful castle as well.

But a lot less beautiful in your minds now, I imagine. That means I

can't offer you an extra ?10,000 and I cannot offer you an extra second.

When the countdown hits zero, you will have three seconds to Break the

Safe and claim that ?29,000. That is the end of the round. Release the

fourth lock. There are now just two crucial

blocks to open. Only Gemma and Carol can release them. Do that, at the

?29,000 is theirs. So, you find yourselves ready to play the final.

You've done very well, don't you think? I think so, yes. Really well.

Your family will be cheering at home? Yes, I've got two little ones.

Mine are really proud that I've got here, so there will be screening at

the television, I think. To Break the Safe, you both need precision

timing. When the countdown reaches 30 seconds, it will disappear from

view. It's up to you to take the county to zero. In front of you are

your deactivation buttons. They are now live. When you both think the

countdown has hit zero, you have a further three seconds in which to

Break the Safe. If just one of you presses at the right time, you will

take home half of the money. That is ?14,500. If both of you time to

perfection, all of the ?29,000 is yours.

So, you cannot influence each other in any way, so this wall will insure

you cannot communicate. The countdown in the studio is only

going to be here for a few more seconds. If you are playing at home,

you will see on your screen the 30 seconds ticking away and the time

they have to Break the Safe. Pick up that rhythm, ladies. Concentrate.

Can we please have complete silence. Gemma and Carol, get that timing in

your head. The countdown is about to disappear.

There are no watches or mobile phones in the studio. Only Gemma and

Carol are keeping time. Can they keep that beat? Can they get perfect

timing to win the cash? If you are playing at home, what method would

you use? That sounds mean that they have both

press that deactivation buttons. Guys, come and join me.

You looked very cool, I have to say. That can be a very testing time.

What methods were you using? I was just counting. I found it helpful to

close my eyes. Carol, did you have a method? I was reciting a Spike

Milligan poem. We are now verifying your timings. It's being done by an

independent adjudicator Scooter making the results. As one of you

manage to Break the Safe and claim half of the cash? Or have you both

played a perfect game and managed to win ?29,000 in that safe? You don't

know, I don't know, but we soon well after the second of tonightNational

Lottery draws. We will find out how they get on in

a few minutes. In his sporting career he's won 11 major medals,

including two European gold medals and is the British and Commonwealth

400 metre record holder. He was also awarded an MBE for his services to

athletics. But it's not just track events, he's not bad on a BMX bike.

Welcome, Iwan Thomas. events, he's not bad on a BMX bike.

Welcome, What is this about a BMX? Not any more, as a youngster, my

baby-sitter said, get one, they are building a BMX park in the village.

It took me all around the world, two World Championships, fourth in the

Europeans when I was 12. A few years later I discovered running, but I

loved it, I think it got me ready for sport at a young age. When did

the jump to athletics come? 16 or 17, went to a new school, tried to

show off at Sportsday. So one click play around a year and said, right,

you off to athletics track. There will be youngsters that benefit from

that that will be dreaming of doing what you have done and succeeding in

their chosen sporting event. What is it like, the moment when you cross

the line and get the gold medal? It's amazing, I lost more than I

won, but when it goes well, the Commonwealth Games, only four years,

representing Wales, you train all year round for 44 seconds work. When

it goes well, it's the best feeling in the world. Your record, it's gone

very well for you, the record in the Commonwealth still stands? It will

go, James from grenade, he can run faster than I did and if he gets it

right on the day. I want to see that for the love of the sport. But I'd

like to see a British competitor get it, someone like Martyn Rooney. You

will be their reporting on it. Is it shaping up well? I have come from

there today, the track is really fast, it makes a big difference. A

double-edged sword, I am there and I still feel like I am 20, so I want

to be racing. But I'm a proud supporter. Before that, the

Anniversary Games, two years before the Olympics, that sounds very

special? It will be, we are bringing sport to the Street Tom it's going

to be great. I can't let you go without asking if you do some

cooking, you were second in Masterchef? I'd like to say that I

do every day, but it kind of put me off. But it was such hard graft.

Nothing but take aways for the next few weeks! Now, good luck to you

playing at home. Here it is. Let's release those weekend balls.

Tonight's jackpot has been estimated at ?4.1 million. We are using

Guinevere and several balls number three. Two jackpot winning tickets

weren't just over ?2.3 million each. Congratulations to you and anyone

else that won a prize. Over to you, let's do this.

Good luck, everyone. What a nice man.

So, Millionaires' Row on Saturday night looks like this:

Thanks, enjoy the Anniversary, Not Games. Don't forget to check your

tickets to see if you have won one of the 50 prizes of ?20,000 in the

raffle tonight. Full results will be available later on the red button

and the website. I will be back next Saturday night. In the meantime,

back to Break the Safe. Have a lovely week. Good night.

Welcome back to Break the Safe. Hope you were lucky tonight. It's not

about luck tonight, it's about accuracy. We are keen to find out if

Gemma and Carol are about to break ?29,000 from the safe. The family at

home will be so nervous? They didn't think we would get this far, so

we've proved them wrong. What about the kids? They will be so proud to

see their mummies on television doing their best. We've done well to

do this far. Their timings have now been verified by an independent

adjudicator to ensure absolute accuracy. There are now just two

rocks left to open. One is for you, Gemma. One is for you, Carol. With a

three second window of opportunity, did you Break the Safe? If you

second is that your lock was available, it will go green and open

like this. If not, it will turn red and remain locked. That is what we

don't want. If one of you manages to open the lock, you will win half of

the money in the safe. That's ?14,500. If you both successfully

released your locks, that ?29,000 will be yours to spend however you

like. Then holiday time all round. Let me get between you, there. Are

you going to win ?29,000? Gemma, is your lock about to open? Did you

Break the Safe? No, you didn't. But that is why it

was important to try to get those extra seconds in the last round, and

you did manage to get two extra seconds and you got two to play

with. Has your sister-in-law done what you couldn't and pressed her

button on the first available second? Carol, did you Break the

Safe? it is. I presume you practised over

and over. And at home, are you close?

Yes. Not close enough this time. That is why it is important to earn

those extra seconds. Gemma, is half that money about to

be yours, did you break the safe? It is a no, again, how long did you

wait? You have one more seconds to play with. Let us see if Carol can

take the pressure off a little bit. You can get half that money out of

the safe. Did you manage on the next available

second to press your button? Did you break the safe?

It is a no, again, I actually feel like I am in the way here now. What

you said is right, your kids will be so proud of you for what you have

done so far. The boys will be proud of you at

home. But we want that money. One more seconds left for both of you.

Gemma, did you leave it till the very last second, did you break the

safe? Access denied, Access denied, Access

denied. I am afraid access is denied, I am

sorry you did not manage to break the safe. So, we have to take half

of that ?29,000 away. OK, ?14,500 is still there, waiting to be one, if

Carol can pull this off. Carol. You have been the bossy one

and all the way through. You have driven this along. Did you leave it

to the very last second to press your button, did you break the safe?

Yes, you did! Access permitted, access permitted.

Oh! Dear, oh, dear, yes, you did. Congratulations, you have broken the

safe, access is granted. You have just one you're half, ?14,500. Let

us get that money out of the safe. Here it comes.

Your winnings tonight. ?14,500! How fantastic is that. Happy with

that? It would have been nice to get the whole lot.

I'm glad I'm a maths teacher. You left it beyond. But teamwork gets

you to the final and teamwork has got you through to winning ?14,500.

That is a huge amount of money for us and we can still do what we want

to do. Booking a skiing holiday, but you might have to take the lead

seeing you won the money! You have got a celebration this

evening. It has been a great night here, Gemma and Carol, sisters in

law from Birmingham, have just won ?14,500!

Join me next time. We are about to start the party here.

Congratulations, Carol and Gemma. The winning numbers are on the

screen right now. And the full Lotto results will be

available later tonight. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Good

night. Why do we feel the need

to continuously upgrade?
