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...
00:17You're my team mate.
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.
00:43Woo!
00:44He found a secret door!
00:46..combining 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 door, door, 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.
01:29Japan's northernmost island
01:31and a world away from the bustling cities they've visited so far.
01:35You feeling nervous?
01:37Well, 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.
02:15I 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.
03:18Oh, 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.
03:45I thought they couldn't do too much.
03:47That'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 partly?
04:07Yes.
04:08I feel like you guys are doing all the work.
04:09We are.
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.
04:31Well, 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.
04:49It was fucking, what, 60 years ago,
04:51and I haven't done it since,
04:53but this just brings it all back to me.
04:5560 years ago, you went on that bike, remember?
04:57And then that came back to you in the first.
04:58Yeah, same thing.
04:59Yeah.
05:00I've always taken chances and grabbed opportunities,
05:03and I'm not going to stop.
05:05I think age is just something that 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 riverside.
05:18What the hell?
05:19Let's go to Jozanki.
05:20Yeah, let's go to Jozanki.
05:2148 kilometres away, 68-year-old Rosie and 24-year-old Lawrence
05:29have also been embracing their time together in Japan.
05:33Oh.
05:34From 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.
05:44Plore your way to Katano Gurumi to meet the king of crabs.
05:48Oh.
05:49Most 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.
06:13Oh, no, look, they've got them in their hands.
06:16Look, look, look, look, look, look.
06:19It's moving, it's moving, it's moving, it's moving,
06:20it'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.
06:32How did you?
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.
06:44As they will be tested
06:45on the vast array of seafood for sale.
06:48This is the hairy crab,
06:49known for the delicious crab gut.
06:52The crab gut.
06:55Good.
06:56I adore crab.
06:57I 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.
07:10It's very tasty and 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.
07:35It's 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,
07:45I will try crab,
07:46but obviously, you know,
07:47at the same time, it's crab.
07:49Oh, man.
07:50Yeah, I really don't like crab.
07:56Excuse me, sir.
07:57I don't suppose you know where an onsen is.
07:59Onsen?
08:01Onsen's Beach.
08:02Onsen.
08:03So, Onsen Beach,
08:04maybe you can go here?
08:07OK.
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 all 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
08:29known as an onsen.
08:31It's supposed to be so relaxing,
08:34good for the skin.
08:36As well as being pampered,
08:38the teammates will need to pay attention
08:40to the strict rules and etiquette
08:42that have been observed for over a thousand years.
08:45This is the changing room.
08:47Dark blue.
08:48That's for men.
08:49The red-coloured one is for women.
08:51As they will be tested on their immersive experience later.
08:55Now, swimming, jumping or diving in the water.
09:01Traditionally, men and women bath are separate.
09:05OK.
09:06The whole point of going to onsen is just getting relaxed.
09:09The pair have been allowed to wear swimsuits to experience this ritual treatment,
09:14but visitors to the onsen are usually required to bathe naked.
09:19Have 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 can smell you from here.
09:26I'm going to kill you.
09:28Honestly.
09:29I think the relationship definitely is like, we are besties.
09:33And she has kind of filled in those little pieces that fell out when my nan passed away.
09:40I don't think I could do this with other people my age unless I knew them.
09:45I can feel quite comfortable doing it with you.
09:48OK.
09:50So, this is outside bath onsen.
09:53And this volcanic water is especially good for your black circulation.
09:57Right, be careful.
09:58It's slow.
09:59OK, don't, darling.
10:02I reckon if I didn't have you as a partner, I probably wouldn't have got so far.
10:06Oh, you would, Kate.
10:07Like, if you are.
10:08I 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.
10:25And not confident for other people, but confident for myself.
10:29And this trip is quite honestly, it's a godsend for you.
10:34It's just going to broaden your horizons.
10:37I'm convinced of it.
10:39I am.
10:46Oh, this is beautiful.
10:47Having followed their clue down river, Colin and Charlotte have finally tracked down the
10:56Jozanki forest.
10:58An area deeply connected with Hokkaido's indigenous Ainu people, who would traditionally use certain
11:04plants 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, they'll have to absorb everything they see and hear in their
11:14foraging lesson before being tested on which plants can be used for certain conditions
11:19later.
11:20It's a memory game.
11:21But we're good at those, aren't we?
11:22Yeah.
11:23Yeah.
11:24Yeah.
11:25Definitely.
11:26This is Noia.
11:27Noia.
11:28If you have a battery, we use this.
11:30Hussa, hussa, hussa, hussa.
11:32This is Erumapina.
11:33Very good for the hangover too.
11:35Go for hangover.
11:36Amazing.
11:37Your reputation has preceded you.
11:39I know.
11:41This is for ontō.
11:43A long time ago, people used to have a tapeworms problem.
11:46Oh, really?
11:48Constipulation.
11:49Constipation.
11:50Constipation.
11:51Amazing.
11:52This is Shukina.
11:53And it's a little bit sweet.
11:55Oh, yes it is.
11:58Find and identify the plants which match the descriptions.
12:02For 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?
12:11I think we are.
12:12Go back to locations.
12:13It'll rejog our memories.
12:14Yeah.
12:15I thought the first one was very small leaves like this.
12:20But 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.
12:29It was that the hangover one was.
12:32Oh, so that one might not be it then.
12:34No.
12:35Have 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 and we want to keep going.
12:46Um, I don't know.
12:55Back at the onsen, Barbara and Katie are about to be tested on their immersive hot spring experience.
13:01Okie doke.
13:03In order to win coins, they'll need to try and recall which facts about the onsen are true and which are false.
13:09Red curtains indicate women's changing rooms.
13:17I think that's true.
13:18Yeah, I think that's true.
13:20Yes!
13:21Congratulations!
13:22Goodbye!
13:24I do look up to Barbara.
13:26She's living her life to her fullest and she isn't taking it for granted and that's how I want to be.
13:31Onsen's help with blood circulation.
13:34Yes!
13:35Oh, God bless you!
13:36Yes!
13:37I'm definitely going to try and keep up the contact that 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, er, 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.
14:04We'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.
14:20I think this one is false.
14:21I think this one is false.
14:23False.
14:24Another one.
14:27My 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.
14:44My God!
14:45Is it illegal to fart underwater in an onsen?
14:50Do you think it's illegal?
14:53Like it might be 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.
15:07Oh my God, I can't cope.
15:13So lock in false.
15:14Lock in false.
15:15Come on.
15:20I'm 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, 2000 yen.
15:46Hairy crab is the most expensive.
15:49Rosie and Laurence now have to put their new seafood knowledge to the test.
15:54How are you feeling?
15:56Not good.
15:57To have a chance of making it through to the final, they'll need to identify five types of seafood they saw in the market and match them to the correct price point.
16:07I'll try one, maybe.
16:11The crab is delicious, honestly.
16:13It's your favourite, isn't it? You were saying about this the other day.
16:15I'm a mum and a grandma.
16:18I've always encouraged all my family to try new things.
16:22You must try this.
16:24And I just say to them, try it once. If you don't like it, that's fine.
16:27But don't say you don't like it without trying it.
16:29I 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, and, 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?
16:52No.
16:53You don't like that one?
16:54It tastes like rubber.
16:56What do you think about this one?
16:57You want to try this one?
16:59No, definitely not.
17:00I can't try that, Rosie.
17:02It looks like a slug.
17:04Just stick it in your mouth and give it a go.
17:10I cannot.
17:13I've never had something so horrid in my mouth.
17:17Having tasted the seafood, the duo now need to rank the octopus, hairy crab, sea urchin, king crab and whelk in order of price.
17:27Tell me your thoughts.
17:29I think that this one is the 42.
17:31I'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.
17:44Shall we put them in place and then we can move them around, so we can have a visual?
17:49You'd say 10 here, wasn't it?
17:51Yes.
17:52The hairy crab is the most expensive of the three crabs.
17:55Just got set for the king.
17:58And these whelks, they were quite cheap.
17:59So if you've got any better ideas, let me know.
18:03The whelks and the octopus, I'm not sure if it's the other way around.
18:09I went with my gup 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.
18:19I didn't want to say something and we get it wrong and be the cause of, like, us going home, you know.
18:25I'm fairly confident about three and I'm just being a thingy, but then I think that's good.
18:30And obviously Rosie the same.
18:32If you're confident, I'm happy to go with this.
18:34I'm not confident.
18:35I did want to switch the two outside to the opposite.
18:41And then I remembered that I'd suggested that before and we were wrong.
18:45Should we lock in?
18:46Yes, let's lock in.
18:59In Hokkaido, Japan's northern frontier, three remaining teams are battling it out to win 50,000 pounds.
19:06This won't enter. People used to have, like, a tapeworms problem.
19:10The couple with the least amount of coins at the end of this challenge will be eliminated from the competition.
19:16So everything now rests on the outcome of Laurence and Rosie's seafood task and Charlotte and Colin's foraging challenge.
19:24Tapeworms. That looks like it, yeah.
19:27Do you think? Yeah.
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.
19:55So that's our best guess.
19:59Yeah.
20:01All we can do is hope.
20:02Yeah.
20:04Are you ready for the result?
20:06I think so.
20:07Yes.
20:08Scared.
20:11Good for a 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.
20:21For Charlotte, though, she said if she won, the first thing she'd do is buy her mum a mobility scooter.
20:27Go on for one.
20:28Shakina, sweet enough to eat?
20:31Yes.
20:33That would mean more to me than me winning any money.
20:36Well done, Carl.
20:37I'm glad we changed it from the other one.
20:38Yeah.
20:40I'd just love to see her that happy.
20:42Noya, cleanse your nightmare.
20:45No.
20:47OK.
20:48Yes.
20:49It's all right.
20:50Enter.
20:51Get rid of the tapeworms.
20:52Yes.
20:54Oh, great.
21:00Yes.
21:01That's four.
21:02I know.
21:03Oh, come here.
21:05I think that's four.
21:06Four.
21:07Oh, that's brilliant.
21:09Oh, I'm so happy.
21:10I know.
21:11I don't know anyone could get four.
21:12No.
21:13I think we've had help from the gods.
21:14Yeah.
21:19Four.
21:20Thank you so much.
21:22I think unless someone gets five, I think we've done enough to get through.
21:27Yeah, I really think so.
21:28Having 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.
21:40They'll need to win at least four coins to secure a place in the final.
21:45Correct.
21:51Correct.
21:52You were right.
21:53Correct.
21:54Yes.
21:55You're kidding.
21:56Really?
21:57I've never jumped up like that after a challenge, you know?
21:59I thought he wasn't going to put them two down.
22:00I thought that was it, you know?
22:01Because he skipped them.
22:02When that fifth coin went down, I just could have hit the roof.
22:03Oh, my God.
22:04Wow.
22:05I want to scream, but I can't scream.
22:06I'm in a fish market.
22:07Thank you so much.
22:08It just means that we've got a fighting chance, a good fighting chance, to get to the final.
22:29Congratulations.
22:30Thank you so much.
22:38Having done all they can, all three teams must now come together to find out which two couples have made it through to the final.
22:54Wow. Here we are again.
22:57I know.
22:58With no idea of how many coins their rivals have won, Colin and Charlotte are first to arrive.
23:04Dad.
23:05Four.
23:06Well, it worked out okay in the end.
23:07It did, yeah.
23:08Just if it's good enough.
23:09I feel confident, which I have right from day one in this.
23:12Good.
23:13Thought you should.
23:14When we got together, I said, we're going to win this.
23:15Yeah.
23:16Hello, guys.
23:17Hi, guys.
23:18How are you doing?
23:19Yeah, good. You all right?
23:20Yeah, not too bad.
23:21Good.
23:22How do you feel?
23:23To be honest, I didn't think that we'd make it so far, you know?
23:25Yeah.
23:26Like, considering, obviously, our kind of rough start at the beginning.
23:28Yeah.
23:29We have both said that from the beginning, we're going to the final, and we're going to take the money
23:33home.
23:34That's never varied.
23:35Yes, how did you do this time?
23:37Well, so, one, we've got two, we've got three, four, and five.
23:50Well done, Laura.
23:51Wow.
23:52Oh, my God.
23:53Five.
23:54Well done, Rosie.
23:55You're in the final.
23:56You're in the lead.
23:57Oh, no.
23:58We're just hoping that the last pair...
24:00Add four or less.
24:01Yeah.
24:02The last couple to reveal their hand are 80-year-old Barbara and 21-year-old Katie.
24:07Oh, well done.
24:09You've done well.
24:10Yeah.
24:11Five coins again.
24:13They're the comeback kids, these two.
24:15I know.
24:16Yes, we certainly are.
24:17I'm four.
24:18Hey, that's good, that.
24:19Come on, Katie.
24:20Let's be having you.
24:22It's the first time that I've not felt confident.
24:26All the way through this competition, I've been confident.
24:32One.
24:33Four.
24:34You did so well.
24:35Yeah.
24:36Three.
24:37Four.
24:38Five.
24:39Oh, well done.
24:40Well done.
24:41Guys, honestly, well done.
24:42Thank you very much.
24:44Well done.
24:45Colin and Charlotte, you have the lowest number of coins.
24:49Please say goodbye to your fellow travellers.
24:52This is where your adventure ends.
24:53It's been amazing, guys.
24:55Not to say we're in shock, but we are.
24:58It's like a kick to the gut, really, isn't it?
24:59It is, yeah.
25:01Because we actually thought we were going to win.
25:03We were going to win.
25:04And we're going to win on the show.
25:06And we're going to win.
25:07Five.
25:08Five.
25:09Oh, well done.
25:10Well done.
25:11Guys, honestly, well done.
25:12Thank you very much.
25:14Well done.
25:16Well done.
25:17Thank you very much.
25:19Not 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. I wanted to stay and be part of it,
25:29but it was so worth it to come here and experience everything I have,
25:36see 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 here.
25:47Of course he would.
25:47Drop of a hat.
25:48Of course he would, Carl.
25:49And he's with me all the time.
25:51He is. Of course he is.
25:53I'm so proud of you, Carl. So, so proud.
25:55I'm very proud of you, Carl.
25:57One thing that stands out for me is I had this preconceived idea before I came
26:03that young people, they think of older people as something that's no longer needed.
26:10Charlotte here, she's really made me realise that 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.
26:23Do 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.
26:34Lawrence and Rosie, Katie and Barbara, congratulations.
26:39You have made it to the final and one team will win 50,000 pounds.
26:48Wow.
26:49The teammates with the highest coin count at the final will win.
26:56First, you must prove how well you know your team mate in solo challenges.
27:09Let's go.
27:10That's it.
27:11We've got this.
27:12Good luck, Dad.
27:14In a last twist to the competition.
27:17Get my skates on and head to Keita.
27:20The remaining finalists will have to navigate solo challenges without their team mates.
27:25It's time to make arrangement at Shiroi Shikku.
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.
27:37Does this go to Drinotti?
27:39For the team mates who win the highest number of coins, a life changing 50,000 pound cash prize
27:45awaits.
27:45Feels quite lonely without Lawrence.
27:48Excuse me.
27:49Sorry.
28:01In Hokkaido, two intergenerational teams have reached the final stages of a life changing
28:07treasure hunt across Japan.
28:09I'm sweating.
28:10I'm nervous.
28:11But the competition is about to get even tougher.
28:15As 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.
28:22In their first ever solo challenge.
28:24Do you know this area?
28:26What they've learned about each other on their journey will be put to the test.
28:30It's really different like being apart from Rosie, you know.
28:33This is like the first time kind of just me.
28:35As they'll each be asked questions to see how well they really know their team mate.
28:40I don't know how Barbara's getting on.
28:42I reckon she's probably got someone pushing her around in like a wheelbarrow or something
28:46to the place she needs to go.
28:47Oh, we're off then.
28:49With five possible coins on offer.
28:51Skate park cut bone.
28:53And there's a pin.
28:55Every answer will prove costly.
28:56Oh, it's a pin.
28:58In the hunt to win £50,000.
29:01There's a gold pin on the machine.
29:04This must be the right place.
29:06It's a great place to put a pin.
29:08It's a good job of a nosey.
29:10Otherwise I wouldn't have seen that.
29:13I'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.
29:26I don't know everything about Lawrence.
29:29I know I've learnt a lot about him.
29:31But no matter how long you've known somebody,
29:34you don't always know as much as you perhaps think you do.
29:38For every fact they get right, they'll win a coin
29:41and be one step closer to winning the competition.
29:44Katie 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.
30:03Which ear can Barbara hear out of?
30:05The way I remember this is because Barbara's always right.
30:08It is her right ear.
30:14Oh, I thought I didn't have one then.
30:16What pet does Lawrence have?
30:18I do happen to know that it is a guinea pig.
30:23It's the first time that I've done a solo game
30:26and it's so much easier when there's two of you.
30:30What is Rosie's favourite band?
30:33We've spoke about this.
30:37Iron Maiden, for sure.
30:39Red.
30:40Yes.
30:41Working with Rosie the last few weeks has been, like, amazing, you know?
30:44Getting to know her.
30:45She's, like, a best friend.
30:46I really can't remember any mention of a cello,
30:49so I am going to go with piano.
30:51Not only I'm learning a lot about myself,
30:53but a lot about Rosie as well.
30:55You've got this.
30:56Oh, thank you.
30:57Oh, my word.
30:58Brigada.
30:59Brigada.
31:00What is the name of Barbara's late husband, Colin or Key?
31:05Answer is Colin.
31:09Katie, for the win.
31:11What word does Lawrence use for cool?
31:14I know, it's dope.
31:16What did Rosie describe herself as when she was a kid?
31:19I'm going to say tomboy.
31:21What village does Barbara live in?
31:23She lived in Kimber.
31:25Katie has a tattoo of what on her ankle?
31:30I think it's bird.
31:32Nah.
31:34Oh, wonderful, wonderful.
31:37With both Barbara and Rosie winning a maximum of five coins,
31:41their junior team mates have one last question each
31:44to try and match their scores.
31:46The last one's going to be the hardest.
31:51What is the name of Barbara's cat?
31:53Katie or cookie?
31:55Barbara's cat is Katie.
32:02Five coins.
32:05OK, I'm off for the last one.
32:08What is Rosie's late husband's name, Henk or Frank?
32:16Frank.
32:20No!
32:25Ow.
32:26I was so sure.
32:27I feel like I let Rosie down in a way, you know?
32:29I know how much her husband meant to Rosie.
32:31Obviously, that's one of the things that we've spoke about quite often
32:34and quite a lot, and it's important.
32:35It is.
32:36So, yeah, it's quite sad, really.
32:39The teams must now reunite to reveal how many coins they've each won
32:43and will be rolling over to their final challenge in Japan.
32:50Awaiting them is the awe-inspiring Hill of the Buddha.
32:56Built in 2015, architect Tadao Ando surrounded the pre-existing stone statue
33:02with a hill-like mound to partially conceal the Buddha
33:06and integrate the spiritual shrine with nature.
33:12For the two remaining teams, it's where they'll compete for the final time
33:16to win the competition and a life-changing prize.
33:21Winning the 50k would mean that my big dream of having all of my children,
33:27my grandchildren, my great-grandson, all on holiday at the same time
33:33could 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.
33:46I know.
33:48One.
33:49With five coins each...
33:50Two.
33:52...Barbara and Rosie have secured the maximum score for their respective teams.
33:56I am actually so proud of myself for coming on this.
33:59I've proven to everyone that I can manage it.
34:02I've not panicked.
34:04This is just the start of discovering myself,
34:06and, I mean, that's what the 25k will go.
34:09It might even help me to set up my own business.
34:12Barb, five coins, I'm so proud of you.
34:15Oh, well, thank you.
34:16What you got?
34:18Another five coins from Katie takes their team score to ten.
34:22Well done, Katie. I'm proud of you.
34:25Really proud of you.
34:27That's the first time that anybody has filled that box.
34:33I didn't think I would get this far.
34:35In the show, in life, in general.
34:37We're in the finals, you know, so from here it can either go two ways.
34:41Either I go home with £50,000 with Rosie or not, you know.
34:44Hello, guys.
34:45Hello, Laurence.
34:46Hello, Laurence.
34:47How are we all?
34:48Hello, Laurence.
34:49Oh, goodness.
34:50See all these coins?
34:51Never seen it like that.
34:52I guess I'd better put mine down then.
34:54Yes.
34:57There's two, three, and there's just four.
35:03Unfortunately, the one question, it was, like, your late husband's name, and it was Hank or Frank, and, like, I was so sure.
35:11Oh, you thought of Frank.
35:12Frank.
35:13I can quite understand because I do talk about Frank a lot.
35:16Well done.
35:17Just by one.
35:18Well done.
35:20Give 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?
35:29Yes.
35:30Yes.
35:32Having been tested all across Japan, the teams will compete one more time in their final challenge.
35:39Good luck, guys.
35:41At the base of the Buddha are 20 bowls, each 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.
35:54Yep.
35:55A lot of faith.
35:56Come on.
35:57They'll need to call on all they've learnt about Japan during their epic adventure.
36:02If 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.
36:14All 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?
36:36They're quite difficult, man.
36:38I'll go up.
36:39You wait there.
36:41Cherry blossoms are considered a national symbol of Japan.
36:46I think that one's a definite.
36:48Mine and Barbara's strategy is process of elimination.
36:52So we're going to choose the ones that we definitely know.
36:55Do you want to do that one?
36:57Yep.
37:01One coin!
37:03The white in Buddhism would be my answer.
37:07And is Tokyo Japan's oldest city?
37:10Or the sells more adult nappies than baby nappies?
37:13I don't know that one either.
37:15Could be quite possible.
37:16Japan sells more adult nappies than baby nappies.
37:21Yes.
37:22I actually know that one.
37:23Yes.
37:24Yeah?
37:25In traditional Japanese weddings, the groom wears a black kimono.
37:32Yes.
37:33That's right.
37:34Yeah?
37:35Fingers crossed.
37:39Oh, Barbara, you're amazing.
37:41Do we know what grooms wear at weddings?
37:45Erm, which one should we start with?
37:47Yes.
37:48Locking in white in Buddhism signifies purity, clarity and knowledge.
37:56Oh, Katie!
37:57Tokyo is the most populated city in the world.
38:02True?
38:03Yes.
38:04That's a good start.
38:05It is a good start.
38:06It's that first challenge.
38:07Our communication has just grown and grown and our bond has just grown and grown.
38:12Yeah, totally.
38:13And that has certainly helped us to get more and more coins each time.
38:17Eating KFC is a popular Christmas tradition in Japan.
38:18Yeah, right.
38:19I know that one's true.
38:20Do you?
38:21Yeah.
38:22Do you?
38:23Yeah.
38:24I think that is true.
38:25Yes, you do.
38:26But maybe we hold it up for now.
38:27Tokyo is Japan's oldest city.
38:29I think it's quite modern Tokyo.
38:30I don't think it is.
38:32What about those at the back?
38:33The Imperial Palace is located in Tokyo.
38:34Yes.
38:35Oh, wait a bit.
38:36Ah!
38:37Shall we do the Buddha one?
38:38This one here?
38:39Yeah, I think that's right.
38:40I think so, yeah.
38:41Yes.
38:42Yes.
38:43Yes.
38:44Yes.
38:45Yes.
38:46Yes.
38:47Yes.
38:48Yes.
38:49Yes.
38:50Yes.
38:51Yes.
38:52Yes.
38:53Yes.
38:54Yes.
38:55Yes.
38:56Yes.
38:57Yes.
38:58Yes.
38:59Yes.
39:00Yes.
39:01Yes.
39:02Yes.
39:03Okay, so, another one that you're fairly sure on.
39:06The Fugu puffer fish is a poisonous fish that is prepared as a delicacy in Japan.
39:10I'm fairly certain on the puffer fish one.
39:13Yeah.
39:14Yes.
39:15That's good.
39:16Move on a bit.
39:17Done all of this one.
39:18We'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'm getting confused.
39:26I'm getting confused.
39:27Katie, please bear with me.
39:28No, no, no.
39:29I'm confused.
39:30Just let me concentrate on that.
39:31Tokyo is Japan's oldest city.
39:34Bear 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.
40:10So Bento is a traditional Japanese packed lunch.
40:13For every correct answer, they'll win another coin.
40:16But if they are incorrect, their game will immediately come to an end.
40:21That's got to be true.
40:23With coins rolling over from their solo games, Rosie and Lawrence are on a combined total of 12.
40:29Yes.
40:31While Katie and Barbara are still in the lead with 14.
40:34I know that one's true.
40:36How do you know?
40:37I get stuck in little wormholes.
40:44Are you sure?
40:45I'm not.
40:46But I've got to rely on you.
40:48You've got to rely on me.
40:50Are you sure of any more?
40:52No, just this one.
40:54Go on then, darling.
40:55You little demon!
41:01She's a bright girl.
41:02How did you know that?
41:04I don't know.
41:05She's amazing.
41:06She is.
