00:01This is mad.
00:03At a time where young and old have never been further apart...
00:06I'm going the wrong way.
00:08..six young Brits who have never travelled alone before...
00:11It's nothing like Wales.
00:13..have been paired up with six pensioners
00:15who thought they would never travel again...
00:17He's my teammate.
00:18..to embark on an epic treasure hunt across Japan.
00:21Oh, yes!
00:23Bloody hell, this is going to be hard.
00:25..in a social experiment to challenge assumptions...
00:28..and prove that age is just a number.
00:31She's a bit too old.
00:32I beg your pardon.
00:33..they will need to work together as one.
00:36Colin, you're amazing!
00:38..so far, six teams across two generations
00:41have been on a life-affirming journey.
00:43Ooh!
00:44He found a secret door.
00:46Combining their experience...
00:48What?
00:49..and embracing their age gap...
00:51You're right, it's just like riding a bike.
00:53..they've navigated challenges across the country.
00:55Oh!
00:56Never quite seen anything like it.
00:58Now, three teams remain to face two final challenges...
01:02..testing how much they've learned about each other...
01:04..and their time in Japan.
01:06The games are just getting harder and harder.
01:08It's too hard, it's easier.
01:10..but only one will win the competition...
01:13..and share a £50,000 cash prize.
01:16It's mad, it's mad, to be honest.
01:19..Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island...
01:31..and a world away from the bustling cities they've visited so far.
01:35You feeling nervous?
01:36Well, I am. I mean, we've got to do well, this one.
01:40I'm not ready to go home, yeah.
01:42Oh, no.
01:43Oh, me!
01:44Steeped in nature and ancient traditions,
01:46it's the last stop on the journey for three remaining teams.
01:50I'm saying there's only two other teams left apart from us.
01:52I know.
01:53So, we have to make the most of the time that we do have.
01:56For sure.
01:57It's been absolutely lovely seeing all these places in Japan.
02:01Yeah, no, for sure.
02:02But for me, the nicest part has been getting to know you.
02:08The winners of the life-changing prize
02:10will be the pair who've bridged their age gap
02:12and worked together the best.
02:14I can smell it. I can smell the £50,000.
02:18I don't have savings, really, at all.
02:20So, like, yeah, in terms of, like, winning something like this,
02:22it would be completely life-changing.
02:24Following clues, they'll need to hunt down their tasks
02:27to win a possible five coins.
02:31Find the onsen's beach.
02:33All along, I've wanted to win for Katie's sake,
02:37so I've just got to do my best for her.
02:40Every decision the team-mates make will be crucial,
02:43as the pair with the least amount of coins
02:45at the end of their next challenge will leave the competition,
02:48leaving just two teams to face the final challenge.
02:51There is a lot of pressure on this game.
02:55I just hope that today is not the end of our journey.
03:02I don't know what we're doing here.
03:03Where are we?
03:04I don't know. We're in a jungle, I think.
03:07I'm a bit worried about what's going to jump out of these bushes.
03:09Yeah, me too.
03:10One couple determined to remain in the running
03:13is 73-year-old Colin and 25-year-old Charlotte.
03:17Oh, it's buzzing.
03:19Welcome to Setozi, where you would take a canoe down the river.
03:23Hmm.
03:25Have we seen any river?
03:26We must be in the right place.
03:27Yeah, we have to.
03:28Let's go and have a look.
03:29So far in the competition,
03:31Charlotte's relied on her senior teammates' memory
03:33and life experience to carry them through to the final.
03:37Right, Carl, I can see canoes.
03:40Colin is so wise.
03:42Like, honestly, because I thought 60-plus was ancient.
03:45And I thought they couldn't do too much.
03:47And it's very ignorant of me,
03:49because he's just opened my mind massively.
03:51Can you see our pin?
03:52I don't think I would have made it as far if it was just me.
03:57You want me to go in the front?
03:58Yes.
03:59You sure?
04:00Yeah.
04:01This could be a disaster.
04:06Oh, am I supposed to be partling?
04:07Yes.
04:08I feel like you guys are doing all the work.
04:09Yeah.
04:14Oh.
04:15It's a deer.
04:16Oh, a deer!
04:17A fluffy bum.
04:18I'll just miss this experience so much.
04:20It's just opened my mind massively.
04:22I was so scared to do solo travelling,
04:24but I've learned so much from Colin
04:26that I think he's given me the confidence to do that,
04:29because he is so adventurous.
04:31Oh, this is nice, isn't it?
04:33I'm in a wonderful place,
04:35seeing things that I'd never have done before.
04:38Every day has just been a dream.
04:41When I was a kid, I lived near a lake,
04:43and we used to hire canoes.
04:45Did you?
04:46And I'd go out and spend the day in a canoe.
04:48Oh, my gosh.
04:49I've been walking 60 years ago,
04:51and I haven't done it since,
04:52but this just brings it all back to me.
04:54But in 60 years ago,
04:55you went on that bike, remember?
04:56And then that came back to you in the first.
04:58Yeah, same thing.
04:59Yeah.
05:00I've always taken chances
05:01and grabbed opportunities,
05:03and I'm not going to stop.
05:04I think age is just something
05:06that you feel that you are.
05:09I've got a message.
05:12Go to Jozanki.
05:14Get ready for a...
05:15Rendezvous.
05:16Yep.
05:17With a woman by the river side.
05:18What the hell?
05:19Let's go to Jozanki.
05:20Yeah, let's go to Jozanki.
05:21Yeah, let's go to Jozanki.
05:2548 kilometres away,
05:2768-year-old Rosie and 24-year-old Lawrence
05:30have also been embracing their time together in Japan.
05:34Oh.
05:35From the beginning in Tokyo to here,
05:37myself and Rosie are great at communicating.
05:40We get along really well, you know.
05:42There's something fishy on.
05:44Claw your way to Kitano Gurume
05:46to meet the king of crabs.
05:48Oh.
05:50Most of my preconceptions about young people
05:52was to do with them not taking in their surroundings,
05:56but Lawrence is not really like that.
05:59He's like a sponge.
06:01He just wants all the knowledge we can learn.
06:04He just wants to soak it all up.
06:07There's crabs everywhere.
06:09Oh, it really stinks.
06:11Oh, they have them live there as well, man.
06:14Oh, no, look, they've got them in their hands.
06:17Look, look, look, look, look, look, look.
06:19It's moving, it's moving, it's moving,
06:20it's moving, it's moving, it's moving, it's moving.
06:22Oh, my God.
06:25After following their clue,
06:27the duo have tracked down their challenge location
06:29to the city's famous crab market.
06:32What have you seen?
06:33Seen something?
06:34I found the...
06:35Oh, well spotted.
06:36The team mates will have to pay attention
06:38to everything they're being shown.
06:40Would you like to know what kind they are?
06:42Yes, please, yes.
06:43As they will be tested on the vast array of seafood for sale.
06:47This is the hairy crab known for the delicious crab gut.
06:52The crab gut.
06:54Good.
06:55I adore crab.
06:56I would say it's one of my favourite things to eat.
06:59So this is 100 grams, 2,000 yen.
07:02Hairy crab is the most expensive.
07:05Oh, man.
07:06This is the short-haired sea urchin.
07:09It's very tasty.
07:11And very expensive.
07:12Yes.
07:13Oh, 9,000 yen is for 100 grams.
07:15Yes.
07:16Yes.
07:17Wow.
07:18I do know that Lawrence is not keen on seafood
07:21and when I said I like crab,
07:23the look on his face was utter disgust.
07:26So this is a king crab.
07:2818,000 per kilo.
07:30Please hold around the legs.
07:34Wow.
07:35We're huge.
07:37Look at this one's eyes.
07:40He's eyeballing you.
07:43Rosie really likes crab.
07:44So if it's something we have to eat, I will try a crab.
07:46But obviously, you know, at the same time, it's, yeah, it's crab.
07:49Whoa, man.
07:51Yeah, I really don't like crab.
07:56Excuse me, sir.
07:57I don't suppose you know where an onsen is.
07:59Onsen.
08:00What?
08:01Onsen's beach.
08:02Onsen.
08:03So, onsen beach.
08:04Maybe you can go here.
08:07Okay.
08:08Arigato gozaimasu.
08:10Oh, it's beautiful.
08:12Beautiful.
08:13I'm not going to forget this.
08:15Pin.
08:16Have you spotted that?
08:18You're right.
08:19Having hunted down their clue,
08:2180-year-old Barbara and 21-year-old Katie
08:24have tracked down their challenge location
08:26to one of Hokkaido's ancient hot springs known as an onsen.
08:31It's supposed to be so relaxing.
08:34Good for the skin.
08:36As well as being pampered,
08:37the teammates will need to pay attention to the strict rules and etiquette
08:41that have been observed for over a thousand years.
08:44This is the changing room, dark blue, that's for men.
08:48The red coloured one is for women.
08:51As they will be tested on their immersive experience later.
08:54Now, swimming, jumping or diving in the water.
08:59Traditionally, men and women bath are separate.
09:04Okay.
09:05The whole point of going to onsen is just getting relaxed.
09:09The pair have been allowed to wear swimsuits
09:11to experience this ritual treatment,
09:14but visitors to the onsen are usually required to bathe naked.
09:18Have you done under your arms?
09:20I can smell you from here.
09:21Yes.
09:22What did you say?
09:23I can smell you from here.
09:24I'm going to kill you.
09:27Honestly.
09:28I think the relationship definitely is like,
09:31we are besties.
09:32And she has kind of filled in those little pieces
09:35that fell out when my nan passed away.
09:39I don't think I could do this with other people my age
09:42unless I knew them.
09:44Like, I feel quite comfortable doing it with you.
09:49So, this is outside bath onsen
09:52and this volcanic water is especially good
09:55for your black circulation.
09:57Right, be careful.
09:58It's sleepy, sleepy.
09:59I reckon if I didn't have you as a partner,
10:03I probably wouldn't have got so far.
10:05Oh, you would, Katie.
10:07I wouldn't have got so far without you, believe me.
10:11No, we're very much similar.
10:13We are.
10:14And I think we've got each other through this.
10:15Yes.
10:16I feel like every day with Barbara is a life lesson,
10:19so I'm kind of learning each day what I am capable of
10:22and Barbara's kind of taught me that I can be confident
10:24and not confident for other people,
10:27but confident for myself.
10:28And this trip is quite honestly, it's a godsend for you.
10:33It's just going to broaden your horizons.
10:36I'm convinced of that.
10:38I am.
10:49Oh, this is beautiful.
10:51Having followed their clue downriver,
10:53Colin and Charlotte have finally tracked down the Jozanki forest,
10:57an area deeply connected with Hokkaido's indigenous Ainu people
11:02who would traditionally use certain plants to help heal the body.
11:06Amazing.
11:07We love nature, don't we, Carl?
11:08We do, yes.
11:09Just like the other two teams,
11:11they'll have to absorb everything they see and hear in their foraging lesson
11:15before being tested on which plants can be used for certain conditions later.
11:19It's a memory game.
11:21But we're good at those, aren't we?
11:22Yeah.
11:23Yeah.
11:24Yeah, definitely.
11:25This is Noia.
11:26Noia.
11:27If you have a battery, we use this.
11:29Husser, husser, husser, husser.
11:32This is El Mokina.
11:33Very good for the Hangover too.
11:35Good friend.
11:36Amazing.
11:37Your reputation has preceded you.
11:39I know.
11:41This is called Anto.
11:43A long time ago, people used to have like a tapeworms problem.
11:46Oh, really?
11:48Constipation.
11:49Constipation.
11:50Amazing.
11:51This is Shukina.
11:53It's a little bit sweet.
11:55Oh, yes it is.
11:56Find and identify the plants which match the descriptions.
12:03For each correctly found and matched plant, you will receive a coin.
12:07Right.
12:08We're going to have to retrace our steps, aren't we?
12:10I think we are.
12:11Go back to locations.
12:12It'll re-jog our memories.
12:14Yeah.
12:17I thought the first one was very small leaves like this, but I don't know.
12:22They just look the same, don't they?
12:24That's what's so hard about it.
12:27I'm not feeling too confident about this one.
12:30It was that the Hangover one was.
12:32Oh, so that one might not be it then.
12:34No.
12:36Have you noticed this is stressful for us because we're not cracking jokes?
12:40We want to be here and we've loved every minute of it and every stage
12:44and we want to keep going.
12:46Erm...
12:47I don't know.
12:55Back at the onsen, Barbara and Katie are about to be tested
12:58on their immersive hot spring experience.
13:01Okey-doke.
13:03In order to win coins, they'll need to try and recall which facts
13:06about the onsen are true and which are false.
13:12Red curtains indicate women's changing rooms.
13:16I think that's true.
13:18Yeah, I think that's true.
13:20Yes!
13:21Congratulations!
13:22Come on!
13:24I do look up to Barbara.
13:26She's living her life to her fullest and she isn't taking it for granted
13:29and that's how I want to be.
13:31Onsens help with blood circulation.
13:34Yes!
13:35Oh, God bless you!
13:36Yes!
13:37Yes!
13:38I'm definitely going to try and keep up the contact.
13:40That she is family now.
13:42Shake hands with fellow onsen visitors when in the water.
13:46Yeah.
13:47I've not heard anything about shaking her hands.
13:48I feel like that would have been something that would have come up.
13:51I'm not going to lie.
13:55How are you feeling on that one?
14:01Difficult to say because you and I, there was only you and I in.
14:04Are you in there?
14:05Yeah, but then...
14:06We're both two visitors, aren't we?
14:07Yeah.
14:08So wouldn't we have to get in there and shake hands?
14:11Can we lock in false for this one?
14:13False!
14:14Let's be having you!
14:17Men and women can only share an onsen at dusk.
14:21I think this one is false.
14:23False.
14:25Another one.
14:28My relationship with Katie has been incredible.
14:31She has proved, and I hope I've proved to her, that young generation, old generation, they can have a bond.
14:42No doubt about it.
14:43My God!
14:45Is it illegal to fart underwater in an onsen?
14:50Do you think it's illegal?
14:51Like, it might be a wrong...wrong, but I don't know whether it's illegal.
14:58Well, how would they know?
15:01They're going to prove you farted underwater.
15:05It wouldn't stand off in court.
15:07What?
15:10Oh my God, I can't cope.
15:13So lock in false.
15:14Lock in false.
15:15Come on.
15:20I've never felt so happy in my life!
15:26To get five is just...fantastic.
15:29I'm nervous that someone else might have got five, but I am excited to see whether we shall be in the final.
15:40Back in Chuo, after soaking up the crab market...
15:43So this is 100 grams, 2,000 yen.
15:46Hairy crab is the most expensive.
15:49Rosie and Lawrence now have to put their new seafood knowledge to the test.
15:54How are you feeling?
15:56Not good.
15:58To have a chance of making it through to the final,
16:01they'll need to identify five types of seafood they saw in the market
16:05and match them to the correct price point.
16:08I'll try one, maybe.
16:11The crab is delicious.
16:13Honestly.
16:14It's your favourite, isn't it?
16:16I'm a mum and a grandma.
16:18I've always encouraged all my family to try new things.
16:21You must try this.
16:23And I just say to them, try it once.
16:25If you don't like it, that's fine.
16:27But don't say you don't like it without trying it.
16:30Oh, I don't even want to do it.
16:32It's delicious.
16:34Oh, it's chewing.
16:38There's a lot of pressure on, kind of, the games itself,
16:41and, like, I didn't want to let Rosie down, you know?
16:43So I had to put myself into it to try it.
16:46What about the octopus?
16:47No.
16:49You don't like that one.
16:51It tastes like rubber.
16:52What do you think about this one?
16:54You want to try this one?
16:55No, definitely not.
16:57I can't try that, Rosie.
16:59It looks like a slug.
17:01Just stick it in your mouth and give it a go.
17:02Oh, man.
17:03I cannot.
17:05I've never had something so horrid in my mouth.
17:06Yeah.
17:08Having tasted the seafood, the duo now need to rank the octopus, hairy crab, sea urchin, king crab and whelk in order of price.
17:26Tell me your thoughts.
17:29I think that this one is the 42.
17:32I'm, like, fairly confident on this one being there.
17:35And then I think the 9,000 would go for the king crab, because it was expensive but not quite as expensive as the hairy crab.
17:43Shall we put them in place and then we can move them around so we can have a visual?
17:48So you'd say ten here, wasn't it?
17:50Yes.
17:52The hairy crab was the most expensive of the three crabs.
17:55Discusset, the king.
17:57And these whelks, they were quite cheap.
18:00So if you've got any better ideas, let me know.
18:04The whelks and the octopus, I'm not sure if it's the other way around.
18:09I went with my gut for the first time and I don't know if it's the other way around.
18:14Rosie had doubts, I had doubts, you know?
18:17I don't think these were 42,000.
18:21I didn't want to say something and we get it wrong and be the cause of, like, us going home, you know?
18:24I'm fairly confident about three and I'm just being a thingy, but then I think that's good.
18:29And obviously Rosie the same.
18:31If you're confident, I'm happy to go with this.
18:33I'm not confident.
18:35I did want to switch the two outside to the opposite.
18:40And then I remembered that I'd suggested that before and we were wrong.
18:45Shall we lock in?
18:46Yes, let's lock in.
18:55In Hokkaido, Japan's northern frontier, three remaining teams are battling it out to win 50,000 pounds.
19:07People used to have, like, a table arms problem.
19:10The couple with the least amount of coins at the end of this challenge will be eliminated from the competition.
19:15So everything now rests on the outcome of Lawrence and Rosie's seafood task and Charlotte and Colin's foraging challenge.
19:24Take worms.
19:25That looks like it, yeah.
19:26Do you think?
19:27Yeah.
19:28Having been shown all five different plants in their foraging lesson, the pair are still struggling to remember which plants match which descriptions.
19:37Oh, God, I hope we're right.
19:39But she also said that was very sweet and sour.
19:42Am I overthinking that?
19:44Yeah, I think we'll swap that over.
19:46We'll take a chance with that.
19:48Yeah.
19:49An easier constipation.
19:51I think that's correct.
19:54I don't know.
19:56I don't know, sir.
19:57That's our best guess.
19:59Yeah.
20:01All we can do is hope.
20:02Yeah.
20:04Are you ready for the results?
20:06I think so.
20:07Yes.
20:08Good.
20:11Good for hangover?
20:12Yes.
20:14Oh, great.
20:15I got one right.
20:16Got one.
20:17Oh, God.
20:18Oh, I'm feeling better already.
20:20The money's not that important to me.
20:22For Charlotte, though, she said if she won, the first thing she'd do is buy her mum a mobility scooter.
20:28Shukina, sweet enough to eat?
20:31Yes.
20:32Yay.
20:33That would mean more to me than me winning any money.
20:36Well done, Claire.
20:37I'm glad we changed it from the other one.
20:38Yeah.
20:39I'd just love to see her that happy.
20:42No, yeah.
20:43Cleanse your nightmare.
20:45No.
20:47Okay.
20:48Yes.
20:49All right.
20:50Enter.
20:51Get rid of the tapeworms.
20:52Yes.
20:54Oh, great.
20:55Yes.
20:56That's four.
20:57I know.
20:58Oh, come here.
20:59Oh, that's four.
21:00Oh, that's brilliant.
21:01Oh, I'm so happy.
21:02I know.
21:03I don't know anyone could get four.
21:04I think we've had help from the garden.
21:05Yeah.
21:06Yeah.
21:12Thank you so much.
21:13I think unless someone gets five, I think we've done enough to get through.
21:27Yeah, I really think so.
21:29Have struggled to recall the price of each type of seafood.
21:34Shall we lock in?
21:35Yes, let's lock in.
21:36Rosie and Lawrence have finally committed to a decision.
21:41They'll need to win at least four coins to secure a place in the final.
21:45Correct.
21:51Correct.
21:56Correct.
21:57You were right.
21:59Really?
22:00I've never jumped up like that after a challenge, you know?
22:01I thought he wasn't going to put them two down.
22:02I thought that was it, you know?
22:03Because he skipped them.
22:04When that fifth coin went down, I just could have hit the roof.
22:05Oh, my God.
22:06Wow.
22:07I want to scream, but I can't scream.
22:08I'm in a fish market.
22:09Thank you so much.
22:10It just means that we've got a fighting chance, a good fighting chance to get to the
22:25final.
22:26Congratulations.
22:28Thank you so much.
22:32And that's it.
22:33Oh, my God.
22:34You've got to have to be a mad nod.
22:35Look, there's lots of people on this team.
22:36You've got a better chance to go, but, with the wifi, the 3rd team.
22:38That's what I've done.
22:39You're trying to be a good terrestrial team.
22:40And that's what you've got to be able to gather up the team.
22:41You've got to be able to see this team, the same team, you've got to be a good character.
22:42You've got to be a good team, you've got to be a good team now...
22:43You've got to be a good team, and you've got to be a good team,
22:44And that's what you've got to be.
22:45having done all they can all three teams must now come together to find out which two couples have

24:40four
24:43five
24:50five
24:51five
24:52five
24:54five
24:55five
24:57colin and charlotte you have the lowest number of coins please say goodbye to your
25:03fellow travelers this is where your adventure ends it's been amazing guys not to say we're
25:11in shock but we are it's like a kick to the gut really isn't it a little bit yeah because
25:17We actually thought we were going to win.
25:20Not to do that on horns or anything, but we did, didn't we?
25:23All the way to the competition, we thought we were going to win.
25:26It's hard to say goodbye.
25:27I wanted to stay and be part of it, but it was so worth it...
25:31Yeah, it really was. ..to come here and experience everything I have,
25:35see the places I've seen, meet the people I've met.
25:40I lost my son five years ago, and he was a traveller.
25:45He would have been so proud of me for coming out today.
25:47Of course he would.
25:48With a drop of a hat.
25:49Of course he would, Carl.
25:50And he's with me all the time.
25:51He is, of course he is.
25:53Every so proud of you, Carl.
25:55So, so proud.
25:56Very proud of you.
25:57One thing that stands out for me is I had this preconceived idea
26:02before I came that young people, they think of older people
26:07as something that's no longer needed.
26:10Charlotte here, she's really made me realise
26:13that not all young people are like that.
26:15No.
26:16And the future now is a lot better because of girls like this.
26:21He's taught me so much, do you know what I mean?
26:24Going back a different person.
26:25Good.
26:26Because of you.
26:27Is this the final two teams?
26:30Yes.
26:31Oh.
26:32Lawrence and Rosie, Katie and Barbara, congratulations.
26:40You have made it to the final and one team will win £50,000.
26:48Wow.
26:49The team mates with the highest coin count at the final will win.
26:56Wow.
26:57First, you must prove how well you know your team mates.
27:07In solo challenges.
27:10That's it.
27:11That's it.
27:12We've got this.
27:13Good luck, Dad.
27:14In a last twist to the competition.
27:17Get my skates on and head to Kita.
27:20The remaining finalists will have to navigate solo challenges without their team mates.
27:25It's time to make arrangements at Shiroi Shiku.
27:30They'll need to demonstrate how much they've learned about each other on their journey before
27:34reuniting to compete in one final task.
27:37Just go to Junoshi.
27:39For the team mates who win the highest number of coins, a life-changing £50,000 cash prize awaits.
27:45Feels quite lonely without Lawrence.
27:48Excuse me.
27:50Sorry.
28:00In Hokkaido, two intergenerational teams have reached the final stages of a life-changing treasure hunt across Japan.
28:10I'm sweating from nerves.
28:12But the competition is about to get even tougher, as the team mates have been separated for the first time since they met.
28:19I'm doing this on my own.
28:21It's got wrenching.
28:23In their first ever solo challenge.
28:25Do you know this area?
28:27What they've learned about each other on their journey will be put to the test.
28:31It's really different, like, being apart from Rosie, you know?
28:33This is, like, the first time kind of just me.
28:36As they'll each be asked questions to see how well they really know their team mate.
28:41I don't know how Barbara's getting on.
28:43I reckon she's probably got someone pushing her around in, like, a wheelbarrow or something to the place she needs to go.
28:48Oh, we're off then.
28:50With five possible coins on offer...
28:52Skate park hot bone.
28:54And there's a pin.
28:55Every answer will prove costly.
28:57Oh!
28:58It's a pin!
28:59...in the hunt to win £50,000.
29:02There's a gold pin on the machine.
29:04This must be the right place.
29:06It is a great place to put a pin.
29:08It's good to have a nosey.
29:10Otherwise I wouldn't have seen that.
29:12I'm really in my comfort zone when I'm with Katie.
29:18But today I'm on my own.
29:20I've got to get on with it.
29:22All four team mates will be asked five questions about their partners.
29:27I don't know everything about Lawrence.
29:29I know I've learnt a lot about him.
29:32But no matter how long you've known somebody, you don't always know as much as you perhaps think you do.
29:39For every fact they get right, they'll win a coin and be one step closer to winning the competition.
29:45Katie talks to me ever such a lot.
29:48So, let's hope I know a lot about her.
29:52Where does Katie live?
29:54Weedness or Warrington?
29:57Katie lives in Warrington.
29:59Nice.
30:00Which ear can Barbara hear out of?
30:06The way I remember this is because Barbara's always right.
30:09It is her right ear.
30:15Oh, I thought I didn't have one then.
30:17What pet does Lawrence have?
30:19I do happen to know that it is a guinea pig.
30:24It's the first time that I've done a solo game.
30:27And it's so much easier when there's two of you.
30:31What is Rosie's favourite band?
30:34We've spoke about this.
30:36Mmm...
30:38Iron Maiden, for sure.
30:39Red.
30:40Yes.
30:41Working with Rosie the last few weeks has been, like, amazing, you know?
30:45Getting to know her.
30:46She's, like, a best friend.
30:47I really can't remember any mention of a cello, so I am going to go with piano.
30:52Not only am I learning a lot about myself, but a lot about Rosie as well.
30:56You've got this.
30:57Oh, thank you.
30:58Oh, my word.
30:59Obrigato.
31:00What is the name of Barbara's late husband, Colin or Keith?
31:05Answer is Colin.
31:09Katie, for the win.
31:11What word does Lawrence use for cool?
31:15I know.
31:16It's dope.
31:17What did Rosie describe herself as when she was a kid?
31:20I'm going to say tomboy.
31:22What village does Barbara live in?
31:24She lived in Kimber.
31:26Katie has a tattoo of what on her ankle?
31:30I think it's bird.
31:31No.
31:32Oh, wonderful.
31:33Wonderful.
31:34With both Barbara and Rosie winning a maximum of five coins, their junior team mates have
31:43one last question each to try and match their scores.
31:47The last one's going to be the hardest.
31:48What is the name of Barbara's cat?
31:49Katie or cookie?
31:50Barbara's cat is Katie.
31:51Five coins.
31:52Five coins.
31:53Okay.
31:54I'll go for the last one.
31:55What is Rosie's late husband's name, Hank or Frank?
31:59Frank.
32:00No.
32:01No.
32:02No.
32:03No.
32:04No.
32:05No.
32:07No.
32:08No.
32:09No.
32:10No.
32:11No.
32:12No.
32:13No.
32:14No.
32:15No.
32:16No.
32:17No.
32:18No.
32:19No.
32:20No.
32:21No.
32:22No.
32:23No.
32:24No.
32:25No.
32:26No, no, no.
32:27No, no, no.
32:29I was so sure, I felt like I let Rosie down in a way, you know.
32:30I know how much her husband meant to Rosie, obviously that's one of the things that we've
32:34spoke about quite often, and quite a lot and it's important, it is.
32:36It is, er.
32:37so yeah it's quite sadly.
32:40The teams must now re-unite to reveal how many coins they've each won and will be rolling
32:45over to their final challenge in Japan.
32:48Awaiting them is the awe-inspiring Hill of the Buddha.
32:57Built in 2015, architect Tadao Ando surrounded the pre-existing stone statue with a hill-like mound
33:05to partially conceal the Buddha and integrate the spiritual shrine with nature.
33:12For the two remaining teams, it's where they'll compete for the final time
33:17to win the competition and a life-changing prize.
33:22Winning the £50,000 would mean that my big dream of having all of my children,
33:28my grandchildren, my great-grandson, all on holiday at the same time, could come true.
33:35I've had a charmed life, but Katie hasn't.
33:39And this money, it could change her life for the better.
33:44The time has come. I know!
33:47Oh, dear. One.
33:49With five coins each... Two.
33:51...Barbara and Rosie have secured the maximum score for their respective teams.
33:56I am actually so proud of myself for coming on this.
33:58I've proven to everyone that I can manage it. I've not panicked.
34:03This is just the start of discovering myself. And, I mean, that's what the £25,000 will go.
34:08It might even help me to set up my own business.
34:12Vibe for five coins. I'm so proud of you.
34:14Oh, well, thank you. What you got?
34:17Another five coins from Katie takes their team score to ten.
34:22Well done, Katie. I'm proud of you.
34:25Awesome.
34:26Really proud of you.
34:27That's the best time that anybody has filled that box.
34:33I didn't think I would get this far. In the show, in life, in general.
34:37We're in the finals, you know? So, from here, it can either go two ways.
34:40Either I go home with £50,000 with Rosie or not, you know?
34:44Hello, guys. Hello, Laurence.
34:47How are we all? Hello, Laurence.
34:49Oh, goodness.
34:50See all these coins?
34:51Never seen it like that. I guess I'd better put mine down, then.
34:54Yes.
34:58There's two, three, and there's just four.
35:04Unfortunately, the one question, it was, like, your late husband's name,
35:09and it was Hank or Frank, and, like, I was so sure...
35:12Oh, you thought of Frank.
35:13I can quite understand, because I do talk about Frank a lot.
35:16Oh, just by one.
35:17You did work. Well done.
35:18Well, thank you.
35:19Give me a hug.
35:21I was very surprised that the ones slip up, but that can happen to any of us.
35:27This is as kind of tense as it's been, really, isn't it?
35:30Yes, yes.
35:32Having been tested all across Japan,
35:35the teams will compete one more time in their final challenge.
35:40Good luck, guys.
35:42At the base of the Buddha are 20 bowls,
35:44each placed above a plinth displaying a true or false statement about Japan.
35:49But only ten of the statements are correct.
35:52Barbara, we're going to have to have a lot of faith in each of them.
35:55Yeah, a lot of faith. Come on.
35:57They'll need to call on all they've learnt about Japan during their epic adventure.
36:03If they select a true statement, they'll find a coin to add to their total.
36:07If they make a mistake, their game will end and they'll be unable to win any more coins.
36:15All we've got to do is get one more than the other team.
36:17That's all we've got to do.
36:19With coins rolling over from the solo games, the team with the highest number of coins at the end of their final challenge will win the competition and split 50,000 pounds.
36:29We are at a slight disadvantage due to being one coin behind.
36:34Do you see any of that stand out?
36:38They're quite difficult, man.
36:39I'll go up. You wait there.
36:41Cherry blossoms are considered a national symbol of Japan.
36:46I think that one's the definite.
36:49Mine and Barbara's strategy is process of elimination.
36:53So we're going to choose the ones that we definitely know.
36:56Do you want to do that one?
36:58Yep.
37:02One coin!
37:05The white in Buddhism would be mine.
37:08And is Tokyo Japan's oldest city?
37:11Or does it sell more adult nappies than baby nappies?
37:13I don't know that one either.
37:15Could be quite possible.
37:19Japan sells more adult nappies than baby nappies.
37:22I actually know that one.
37:23Yes.
37:24Yeah?
37:30In traditional Japanese weddings, the groom wears a black kimono.
37:33Yes.
37:34That's right.
37:35Yeah?
37:36Fingers crossed.
37:40Oh, Barbara, you're amazing.
37:41Do we know what grooms wear at weddings?
37:45Erm, which one should we start with?
37:48Yes.
37:49Locking in white in Buddhism signifies purity, clarity and knowledge.
37:55Oh!
37:57Oh, Katie!
38:00Tokyo is the most populated city in the world.
38:03True?
38:04Yes.
38:08That's a good start.
38:09It is a good start.
38:10It's that first challenge.
38:13Our communication has just grown and grown and our bond has just grown and grown.
38:17Oh, totally.
38:18And that has certainly helped us to get more and more coins each time.
38:23Eating KFC is a popular Christmas tradition in Japan.
38:26Yeah, right.
38:27I know that one's true.
38:29Do you?
38:31Yeah.
38:32Do you?
38:33Yeah.
38:34Do you know?
38:35I think that is true.
38:36Yes, you do.
38:37But maybe we hold it up for now.
38:39Tokyo is Japan's oldest city.
38:43I think it's quite modern Tokyo.
38:45I don't think it is.
38:48What about those at the back?
38:49The Imperial Palace is located in Tokyo.
38:52Yes.
38:53Oh, wait a bit.
38:55Ah!
38:57Shall we do the Buddha one?
38:58This one here?
38:59Yeah, I think that's right.
39:00I think so, yeah.
39:01Yes.
39:03OK, so, another one that you're fairly sure on?
39:06The Fugu pufferfish is a poisonous fish that is prepared as a delicacy in Japan.
39:11I'm fairly certain on the pufferfish one.
39:13Yeah.
39:15Yes.
39:16That's good.
39:17Move on a bit.
39:18I've done all of this one.
39:19We'll go through this line that I'm on here, and then we'll move up again.
39:22So, don't think about...
39:23What about this bottom line?
39:24Yeah, we've done that one.
39:25I reckon the vending machines...
39:26I'm getting confused.
39:27Katie, please bear with me.
39:28No, no, no.
39:29I'm getting confused.
39:30Just let me concentrate on that.
39:32Tokyo is Japan's oldest city.
39:35Bear with me.
39:38I don't know.
39:39If we don't get that right, we're eliminated.
39:42In Hokkaido, the grand finale of an epic treasure hunt to win £50,000 is reaching its climax.
39:58Tokyo is the most populated city in the world.
40:01It is?
40:02Putting everything they've learnt on their journey to one final test, two teams are trying to work out which statements about Japan are true.
40:11So, Bento is a traditional Japanese packed lunch.
40:14For every correct answer, they'll win another coin.
40:17But if they are incorrect, their game will immediately come to an end.
40:22That's got to be true.
40:24With coins rolling over from their solo games, Rosie and Lawrence are on a combined total of 12.
40:30Yes!
40:32While Katie and Barbara are still in the lead with 14.
40:35I know that one's true.
40:37How do you know?
40:38I get stuck in little wormholes.
40:40Are you sure?
40:41I'm not, but I've got to rely on you. You've got to rely on me. Are you sure of any more?
40:53No, just this one.
40:55Go on then, darling.
40:59You little demon!
41:02She's a bright girl.
41:04How did you know that?
41:05I don't know.
41:06How amazing she is.
41:08I'm so lucky to have her.
41:10Coyote was the capital of Japan.
41:12I think that that could probably be true.
41:15Yes!
41:16I'm inclined to think that that is true.
41:21It's a cherry blossom.
41:23True?
41:24I believe so.
41:26Winning something like this, it would be completely life-changing and it would definitely make life a lot different.
41:31Probably a lot easier as well, in so many ways.
41:34Feng Shui.
41:36What's Feng Shui?
41:39Feng Shui is positioning of furniture and this, that and the other to get calmness and well-mindedness.
41:52I think that that's very Japanese.
41:55Yeah.
41:56Shall we go with?
41:57Shall we go with Feng Shui?
41:58Yeah, so Feng Shui originated in Japan.
42:00I think that's true.
42:01Are we locking it in?
42:02Yeah.
42:03Feng Shui originated in Japan.
42:04It was...
42:05It was...
42:06It's a bit strange.
42:07It's incorrect.
42:08Oh.
42:09No Barbara.
42:10It's a no.
42:11It's a no.
42:12We got it wrong?
42:13Yeah.
42:14Oh.
42:15Oh.
42:16I want to fluff that for you.
42:17Don't worry.
42:18It's fine.
42:19Barbara, stop being so negative.
42:20Okay.
42:21Okay.
42:23So that's us.
42:24Finished.
42:25Well, we're done anyway.
42:26We did good.
42:27We'll do good.
42:28We'll do good.
42:29We'll do good.
42:30We'll do good.
42:31Yeah.
42:32It's a no.
42:33It's a no.
42:34It's a no.
42:36We got it wrong?
42:37Yeah.
42:38Ah.
42:39Oh.
42:40I want to fluff that for you.
42:41Don't worry.
42:42It's fine.
42:43Barbara, stop being so negative.
42:46OK.
42:47So that's us.
42:50Finished.
42:51Well done anyway, well done.
42:57We started off in like a, so you can say like a rocky start, you know.
43:01There was many that kind of did take me by surprise.
43:03Feng Shui, I thought it was Japanese.
43:04We both thought it was Japanese and we were wrong.
43:08But I'm hoping we've done enough.
43:10We've done our best.
43:11But I do feel that it's in the, it's in the lap of the gods now.
43:17You've done your best and I'm proud of you.
43:21We've got this far.
43:22You should be so proud of yourself.
43:24I've let you down.
43:26Look, I'm serious now.
43:29I'm deadly serious.
43:31I fluffed it.
43:33I completely fluffed it.
43:36At some point, we was going to get the question wrong anyways.
43:39It doesn't matter.
43:42Well, you're a positive thinker, Katie.
43:46It's a gift, I'll tell you.
43:55Unaware of how their rivals have done, the teams must now come together to reveal their results.
44:01Hi, guys.
44:02Hi.
44:03The pair who've won the most coins across both final challenges will be crowned winners and take home the £50,000 prize.
44:11How do you feel?
44:13Horrible.
44:14Anxious.
44:15Before completing their final game, Barbara and Katie were leading Rosie and Lawrence by ten coins to nine.
44:22We've got one.
44:23Ah.
44:24So we're even now.
44:25It was even.
44:26Yeah.
44:27OK.
44:28Well, there's 12.
44:31There's 12.
44:32To win would be absolutely amazing, but to win with Barbara, I can't even put it into words.
44:4313.
44:44We're at 13.
44:45Here's 14.
44:46My confidence has definitely grown while I've been having this experience.
44:57A lot is thanks to Lawrence because he's always encouraging me and praising me.
45:02And I think that that has certainly helped.
45:0615.
45:07I feel like coming here, it's life changing, you know.
45:11I've learned that the world's a big place.
45:13And just to appreciate a lot more, you know, like the simplicities in life, I think.
45:18Have you guys got one to match?
45:21Wow.
45:22It's getting scary, isn't it?
45:26Yes.
45:27The monies are that close.
45:31So that's 17.
45:33Have you guys got 17?
45:36Well, we certainly are that close, but...
45:39We have got 17.
45:44Ah.
45:45Pressure's on really now, isn't it?
45:47It really is, yes.
45:48Like a lot.
45:49So that's 18.
45:52The money would mean an awful lot to Lawrence.
45:55He wants to do some things with his music and also wants to travel a bit as well.
46:01Down.
46:06A level pegging at 18.
46:08Yeah.
46:09And just two spaces left.
46:20We're done.
46:21You're joking.
46:22We're done.
46:24You've won.
46:25Congratulations.
46:26We've won.
46:27Seriously.
46:28We've won.
46:29Yeah, you've won.
46:30Yay!
46:31We've done it.
46:32We've won.
46:33We've won.
46:34We've won.
46:35Now I think I'm going to crush.
46:36Yeah, likewise.
46:37You've won.
46:38You've won.
46:39Man.
46:40You know.
46:41Like...
46:42Just all of it.
46:43It's been so great.
46:44And...
46:45Yeah, it's beautiful, man.
46:46Genuine.
46:47Like, it's a lot.
46:48Absolutely wonderful.
46:49Yeah, ecstatic.
46:50We've seen a lot.
46:51Done a lot.
46:52And...
46:53It's been beautiful.
46:54Like, entirely.
46:55Smart.
46:56Smart.
46:57We have not won.
46:59And I'm really disappointed in that.
47:02Because I sincerely wanted Katie to have that sort of money.
47:08You haven't let me down.
47:09Oh.
47:10If anything, you've got me to the final.
47:12God bless you.
47:13Well, you've got me to the final as well.
47:15Well, there you are, then.
47:16How are you doing?
47:17How are you doing?
47:18Yeah, not too bad.
47:19How are you doing?
47:20Winner.
47:21We did it.
47:22Winner.
47:23No, thank you.
47:25No, thank you.
47:26We did it together.
47:27No, I did.
47:28We did.
47:29We did.
47:30We did.
47:31We did.
47:32I really wanted it for you, Ma.
47:33Yeah.
47:34No, like, quite the same.
47:35It's been an amazing journey.
47:38It just proved to myself that I could holiday travel again.
47:44Thank you, my darling.
47:47Pad ball.
47:48Thank you, Katie.
47:49Oh, no, thank you.
47:50I feel like this whole experience has just shown me that, like, no matter how old or young
47:58or who you are, it's, yeah, it's very possible, like, for you to get along.
48:04My confidence has grown, and I think that you are mostly to thank for that.
48:09Yeah.
48:10We're my family now.
48:13You know that.
48:14You're the newest member of our family.
48:18Yeah, we did it.
48:21Yes.
48:22Come here.
48:23Come here.
48:24All of this.
48:25All of this.
48:26We did it.
48:27We did it.
48:28We did it.
48:30We did it.
48:31We did it.
