(Applause)

Thomas: Wow.

Stephen Mulhern: I told you my In For a Penny series would entertain you guys.

(Ant and Dec laugh)

Nia: Uh... Ant and Dec?

Ant: Yes?

Dec: Yes?

Nia: Um... do you mind if we come to Florida next week?

Ant: Um... no.

(Audience laughs)

Nia: Come on. Pretty please.

Dec: You know what? We'll make a deal with you, Nia. We'll play the world's famous stopwatch game....

Nia: Okay.

Dec: ...and if you can stop it.... You, Thomas and Ashima... will get a place on the plane. Come on.

(Applause)

(Stephrn puts on his gold suit on. The items from In For a Penny come over. He grabs the stopwatch)

Nia: I'm not sure about this.

Stephen Mulhern: Nia, trust me. It'll be fine.

Ant: Okay. So, Nia. The rule is very simple.... if you can stop the stopwatch on 18... (audience laughs)...seconds.... you will win with Thomas and Ashima... (chuckles) ...a Place on the Plane.

Stephen Mulhern: I don't know why you said 18 seconds.

Nia: It's because 18 is my number.

Audience: Ooooooh.

Stephen Mulhern: Unbelievable. Right. So, Nia... are you ready?

Nia: (gulps) Yes.

Stephen Mulhern: 3.... 2.... 1.... go.

(Nia counts up to 18 in her head. When she gets to 18...)

Nia: Stop!

Stephen Mulhern: Ohh.

Nia: Please. Just.... tell.... us.

Thomas: I can't watch.

Stephen Mulhern: She's only gone and done it!

(Thomas, Ashima, Nia and the audience cheer and applause)

(The gold plane appears and then disappears)

Thomas: You've done it, Nia!

Dec: You've got a Place on the Plane!

Nia: Yay!

Ant: What about that.
