00:00Five famous faces on five festive sleighs,
00:04all hoping to win their chosen charity £5,000.
00:10Just don't be last to the festive finish line.
00:25Hello, hello, and welcome to the festive finish line,
00:29the show where celebrities literally race their sleighs
00:31across the studio floor
00:33to try and win their chosen charity £5,000.
00:36Yes, the studio is looking like a winter wonderland,
00:39by which I mean the snow is fake
00:41and we're charging £8.99 for a hot chocolate.
00:44But which celebrity will feel the warm glow
00:46of five grand for their charity?
00:48Before we find out, overseeing it all
00:50is a woman who's just like a Christmas market
00:52because she's absolutely full of mulled wine.
00:55It's my co-host, Miss Sarah Green.
00:57I wish.
01:00Now, Roman, you know I never drink and quiz.
01:03Ever.
01:03Ever.
01:04What's that under...
01:04Anyway.
01:05Right, ready to meet today's players?
01:07I am.
01:07OK.
01:08Today's celebrity players hoping to win big
01:10for their charities are...
01:11All right, here we go.
01:24Before we start racing,
01:25we need to put our celebrities in order
01:27with today's first qualifier.
01:29So, Sarah, how does it work?
01:30Well, our first qualifier is the picture game.
01:32You'll see the subject, then the picture.
01:35So, of course, here, the answer would be Christmas pudding.
01:39We'll stop the clock when you get five right.
01:42OK, who's going to start in which lane?
01:44Let's find out.
01:45First up today, it's the Ding Dong Merrily On High
01:47voiced one, armed with a cracker joke or ten.
01:50Oh, no, it isn't.
01:51Oh, yes, it is.
01:52Please welcome entertainer Joe Pasquale.
01:56Roman.
01:57Welcome, bro.
01:58Sarah.
01:59Hello, hi, darling.
02:00How exciting is this?
02:01Oh, it's too exciting for words.
02:03This is so exciting.
02:04Welcome to the inside of a Christmas cracker.
02:06You've got really good eyes close up, haven't you?
02:08Thank you so much.
02:09Yeah, bribery gets you nowhere, unfortunately, on this show.
02:11It's worth a try.
02:12Joe, how's the year been for you?
02:13It's been very busy.
02:14I've been on the road this year with the Pratt Packer, which was myself, Bradley Walsh,
02:19Shane Ritchie and Brian Connolly.
02:21Surely, like, there must be a couple of quizzes going here and there.
02:24No, there's no quizzes.
02:24More prostate talk than anything else because we're all in our 60s now.
02:29All we ever discussed was how many times you get up in the night for a wee and that was it.
02:33And we had a competition to see who had the most.
02:35And we were wearing each other's pants and socks on the road and all that sort of stuff.
02:38Who's got the best pant collection?
02:39Me, because I always keep them.
02:40They don't want them back after I've worn them, so it's always me.
02:44OK, so tell me, Joe, how's your quizzing?
02:47What's really good for me is everybody thinks I'm a bit of a div.
02:50So if I come last, it's fine.
02:51Everyone expects that.
02:52So, Joe, tell me, what charity are you playing for today?
02:55I'm playing for Prostate Cancer UK.
02:57Oh, fantastic.
02:59Well, look, Joe, picture round.
03:01Your eyes, your eyes are great.
03:03Don't look at my eyes.
03:04I need you to look at these pictures, all right?
03:06Five correct answers in our picture round as fast as you can.
03:09Are you ready for this?
03:09Yeah.
03:10Good luck, Joe.
03:11Your time starts now.
03:15Flower container.
03:16Bars.
03:19Former England goalkeeper.
03:20I don't know.
03:23Christmas film.
03:25Santa Claus movie.
03:28Tally count.
03:31Eleven.
03:34Scottish instrument.
03:35Bagpipes.
03:35Loose woman panellist.
03:39Oh, can't remember the name.
03:42First aid item.
03:43Cluster.
03:46US TV show.
03:47Oh, can't remember.
03:52Patton.
03:52Patton.
03:53Dots.
03:55That'll do it.
03:56The dots, yeah.
03:57That'll do it.
03:57Dots.
03:58Sarah?
03:59You've got three passes.
04:01Yeah.
04:01And just one wrong.
04:02Yeah.
04:02The former England goalkeeper, David James.
04:05The Christmas film, The Santa Claus.
04:08Ah.
04:09Loose woman panellist, Ruth Langsford.
04:11Of course it is.
04:11And the US TV show, Succession.
04:14Succession.
04:14And it was on the tip of your tongue.
04:16It was.
04:16I know.
04:17You're first up here, Joe.
04:18You're laying down the marker.
04:21Yeah.
04:22Yeah.
04:22You've got your five correct answers in 39.8 seconds.
04:27Joe, go to lane one.
04:29Thanks so much, Joe.
04:31Next up, fresh from the BBC's festive red sofa,
04:36she's the ultimate Christmas Day breakfast companion.
04:39More used to roasting politicians, though,
04:41than roasting chestnuts.
04:42It's newsreader Luxmi Gopal.
04:45Woo!
04:47Luxmi, you got the note on the sparkliness.
04:52That is fantastic.
04:53You did, though, Roman.
04:53I know.
04:54Well, do you know what?
04:54Sarah did.
04:55Well, I actually wrote the note to everyone.
04:57Yeah.
04:57And he promised me he'd come out
05:00as elf.
05:02The full Will Ferrell elf.
05:05That would have been amazing.
05:06That's what I was looking forward to.
05:07The other option that Sarah said is I have to wear tinsel pants.
05:11I mean, that doesn't sound comfortable.
05:13It's really not.
05:14So, Luxmi, tell me, how's the year been for you?
05:16Yeah, it's been good.
05:17It's been busy, as it always is.
05:19There's lots of early shifts.
05:20Quite full on.
05:21How early are you getting up?
05:22Well, I don't get in until about half past four.
05:24So, actually, that doesn't...
05:25Oh, that's her!
05:26Sorry, sorry.
05:27What?
05:28I actually don't get into a half four.
05:30That's great.
05:31It's a lie-in, really.
05:32Yeah, 4.30, you get in.
05:34But I feel like this is far more scary than any news coverage
05:38or doing any live reporting.
05:39Really?
05:40Yes, absolutely.
05:40Well, look, you saw Jo take on the picture round first.
05:44That's why I'm so scared.
05:45At least you're not first.
05:45At least you're not first, right?
05:46It's true.
05:46Tell us the charity you're playing for today.
05:48The charity is the MND Association.
05:51Okay, fantastic.
05:53That's really lovely.
05:54Got our picture round up first.
05:56You ready?
05:56I'll try to be.
05:57Okay.
05:58Come on, here we go.
05:59Glasses on.
05:59Glasses on.
06:00It's like a reverse superwoman situation.
06:02Okay, so good luck.
06:04Your time starts now.
06:07Party object.
06:08Balloon.
06:10Actor.
06:12Robert Atkinson.
06:14Car brand.
06:15Renault.
06:18Winnie the Pooh character.
06:21English football club.
06:22Everton.
06:23Berry.
06:24Oh, hello.
06:25What were you worried about?
06:28Sarah.
06:29No passes, no wrong answers.
06:31You've got 39.8 seconds to beat.
06:34You've got your five correct answers.
06:36I'm laughing because it's so fast.
06:3816.2.
06:41That is one of the fastest we've had.
06:44Luxme, go to lane one.
06:46Thank you so much.
06:51Next up, a World Cup winner who slayed the opposition.
06:54She's the sporting star we should all be following.
06:57Ho, ho, hold on to your hats.
06:58It's Red Roses rugby star Zoe O'Croft.
07:04Zoe, I've got to say it again.
07:07Congratulations.
07:08Thank you very much.
07:08You're on the World Cup.
07:09Yay!
07:10I did it.
07:11Is it crazy to just say that?
07:13Like, you know, now life's just like, yeah, World Cup winner.
07:16What about?
07:16I'd be wearing that medal everywhere.
07:18Yeah, it's pretty crazy.
07:20But hopefully now at Christmas we can spend some time and celebrate it a little bit more.
07:24But yeah, honestly, the best time ever.
07:26So this is you on Christmas Day with a chocolate egg.
07:30But when everyone's spraying off the champagne, is it just a load of people going, I can't see anything?
07:35But it's all in my eyes.
07:37The sting in your eyes.
07:38Yeah.
07:38You don't even think about it at the time and then you're like, oh, what a stupid idea.
07:41Yeah.
07:43So obviously you're very competitive.
07:45What about with quizzing?
07:46Yeah.
07:47I do like the odd quiz, odd pub quiz.
07:49We have a few quizzes on the bus here and there.
07:51We have very extravagant themes.
07:54Like one theme that we do have is whose knees are these, which you get a picture of someone's kneecap and you've got to see whose kneecap it is.
08:02I know.
08:04Okay.
08:04And tell me, who's the charity you're playing for today?
08:07So today I'm playing for 4Ed Charity, which is an M&D support in families living with M&D.
08:12Fantastic.
08:13Really well done.
08:14Fantastic.
08:14Right.
08:15Here we go.
08:16Good luck.
08:17Your time starts now.
08:20Circus Act.
08:21How?
08:23Oasis member.

08:37Cheetah.
08:40FIFA country code.

08:47TV presenter.
08:50Day of return.
08:53Sports day event.
08:55Three-legged rest.
08:56There you go.
08:58Your hands get this 4-1 right.
09:00That was terrible.
09:01It really isn't, I promise you.
09:03Let's go to Sarah with the time.
09:04Just one pass, three wrong.
09:06The Oasis member, Noel Gallagher.
09:09Hollywood actress, Renée Zellweger.

09:27Thanks so much, Zoe.
09:28Thanks so much, Zoe.
09:32Up next, hoping for less aggro than an EastEnders Christmas special.
09:36She used to be a butcher, but she's never sold turkeys.
09:38What a festive treat.
09:39It's actor Charlie Brooks.
09:42Hello.
09:42Charlie!
09:43Hi.
09:43Welcome to the finish line.
09:46Isn't it fantastic?
09:47I'm very happy to be here.
09:48Oh, no, it's great to have you here.
09:50Looking festive as well.
09:51Very good.
09:52I like little candy canes.
09:53Yes.
09:53But not fine.
09:54It's beautiful.
09:55Well, look, I mean, EastEnders and Christmas, it's always carnage.
09:59The high drama always comes at that time.
10:01And, yeah, I mean, I've been in some cracking fights.
10:05Is Christmas in real life a bit more chill for you, though?
10:07Yes, we'd hope so.
10:08Yeah.
10:09You never know, though.
10:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:11It can be quite chaotic.
10:12Yeah, what about quizzing, though?
10:14Can get quite competitive.
10:15I'm not that competitive, because I always resign myself to losing.
10:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:19My ability to retain information is not very good.
10:23OK.
10:23Tell us, what charity are you paying for?
10:25So, I'm playing for Future Dreams, a charity who support people going through breast cancer.
10:30Oh, that's wonderful.
10:32OK.
10:33Well, you ready for this picture round?
10:35I am.
10:36You've seen it before.
10:37Five correct answers.
10:38That's what I need.
10:39Got it.
10:39Good luck.
10:40Your time starts now.
10:43Cold product.

10:46Actor.
10:47Tom Hardy.
10:50FIFA country code.

10:56Hair item.
10:57Uh, hair?
10:58Correct.
10:58Claw.
11:01Playing card.
11:02Ace.
11:05Strictly judge.
11:05Shirley, what's her name?
11:10I can't remember her name.
11:11Uh, next.
11:13Gift in the 12 days of Christmas.
11:15Um, pear.
11:17More.
11:18A pear tree.
11:19More, more.
11:20Uh, don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't have a pear tree.
11:22No, I can't remember it.
11:24Pass.
11:25Actress.
11:27Um.
11:27Oh, shit.
11:28Yay.
11:30Expectations low.
11:32Don't worry.
11:32You're going to kick yourself at some of these answers, though.
11:34Why, why does the pressure make you forget everything?
11:36Yeah.
11:38Oh, my God, what a laugh.
11:40Only one pass and two wrong.
11:42The FIFA country code, you said Balencia.
11:44I know.
11:45I love it.
11:47Anyway, it's Bolivia.
11:48The Strictly judge, Shirley Ballas.
11:50Ballas.
11:51That's it.
11:51Yes.
11:52So close.
11:53And the gift in the 12 days of Christmas, I bet you know it now, don't you?
11:57I just can't remember that song at all.
11:59Partridge in a pear tree.
12:00Partridge in a pear tree.
12:01The actress was Rachel Zegler.
12:03Yeah, Rachel Zegler, that's it.
12:05You're timed out, but you go to lane four for the moment.
12:09Thank you very much.
12:14Last up, if he saw someone sliding down your chimney, he'd probably arrest them.
12:18He's the man who stopped Santa getting scanned, our very own roast beef with all the trimmings.
12:22It's presenter, Rav Wilding.
12:24Woo!
12:27How are you, mate?
12:29Yeah, I'm really good.
12:29I'm excited about this.
12:30Look at that for a Christmas jumper.
12:32I know.
12:33It's so tasteful.
12:34It does what it says on the tin.
12:35Exactly.
12:35No more, no less.
12:36Go on, what's Christmas like for you?
12:38So Christmas has changed for me, because I've got a little girl now.
12:41So before, I'd be out with my friends and having, you know, partying and whatever, and coming in at six.
12:45Now I'm waking up at six, because she's ready for presents.
12:48Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:49To see if Santa's been.
12:50So that keeps me really, really busy.
12:51And what about quizzing?
12:52Any good?
12:53I'm either all right, or I'm really rubbish.
12:56And I've never done a quiz where I'm actually moving before.
12:58So that's going to be new.
12:59It's a lot easier at home.
13:01That's what I've all said.
13:02Yeah.
13:02And, Rav, who's the charity you're playing for today?
13:04So I'm playing for Autism Action.
13:06Okay.
13:07All right, Rav, picture round up first.
13:10Ready?
13:11Let's do this.
13:12Here we go.
13:12Five correct answers, please, mate.

13:40Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:41A festive, clean sweep here.
13:44You have 16.2 seconds to beat.
13:48You've got your five correct answers in 16.8 seconds.

14:08Remind us who we've got.
14:09We have actor Charlie, entertainer Joe, England rugby legend Zoe, presenter Rav and newsreader
14:18Luxme.
14:18This is going to be a Christmas cracker of a race.
14:21Ooh, very good.
14:22Let's get racing.
14:23Tell everyone how it works, Sarah.
14:24Our celebrity players will be asked questions down the line, starting with lane one.
14:29Get an answer right and their sleighs will start moving.
14:34But if they take too long to answer, pass or get one wrong at any point, they'll immediately
14:39stop in their tracks.
14:40When our celebrities are close to the end of the track, their lanes will become supercharged
14:45to tell them they're in the end zone and approaching the festive finish line.
14:50The celebrity who doesn't reach the festive finish line is out.
14:55It's as easy as that.
14:57Just don't come last.
14:58Remember, it is a race, so you must answer within the time limit.
15:04Luxme, you qualified faster, so that means the first question this time is yours.

17:22Oh, wow!
17:30That's okay.
17:31That just slipped in at the end.
17:33Charlie, I'm so sorry.
17:35Acceptance is the answer here.
17:37Oh, Sarah, what did you make of that race?
17:42Oh, Charlie, it was that departure question, wasn't it?
17:45Yes.
17:46It means now you're departing us.
17:48I am.
17:49So we loved having you on the show.
17:52Let's hear it for Charlie, everyone.
17:54Woo!
17:56But look, me, Rab, Zoe and Joe, congratulations.
18:01You have survived race one.
18:02You're one step closer to winning £5,000 for your chosen charity.
18:05But before we get into race two,
18:07we're going to need to sort you out once again with another qualifier.
18:10Sarah, we'll tell you how this works.
18:12Missing letters is our second qualifier.
18:15A clue and the first and last letters of the answers will be revealed.
18:19So the correct answer here would be hallelujah.
18:23We'll stop the clock when you get five right.
18:26So who's going to slay it and take lane one this time?
18:29Let's welcome back Joe.
18:32Sarah, go then.
18:34I'm second again.
18:35Joe.
18:36How are you, love?
18:37How was the race?
18:38Didn't take anything.
18:38I was just looking into your eyes.
18:40So it didn't matter.
18:42I'm still here.
18:42That's all that matters.
18:43So tell me, Joe, what's Christmas like at your place?
18:45Christmas for me is normally sleeping, washing me pants and eating Brussels.
18:49And that order.
18:50I could eat sprouts and gravy all day.
18:52Right.
18:52I don't need the meat.
18:53Obviously, it makes you very unpopular in the next day.
18:55I'll tell you that.
18:58Okay.
18:59Joe, we've got a missing letters.
19:00Oh, very good.

19:57How scary does that compare
19:58to that race?
19:59I'd say the World Cup final
20:00just pipped it slightly.
20:02Just slightly.
20:03We were close, Sam.
20:04We were close.
20:05We were close.
20:06Well, well done.
20:07How did you find the race?
20:09Yeah, okay.
20:09I think next time I'm going to take
20:10an extra second

21:40Yeah, it was great.
21:41Look at all the losers back there.

22:55We can confirm that Luxme won the last race, and that means she's up now.
23:04That looked great.
23:07I'm still terrified, and my hands are still clammy.
23:10Really?
23:11It's still much scarier than any kind of news coverage.
23:14Really?
23:14Well, because, do you know, I would not have answered some of those other questions.
23:18I think it's...
23:18How fast?
23:19Well, I think it's a lot to do with the questions you end up with, because there were so many
23:22that the others got that I would not have got.
23:24Yeah, but you got those questions, because you end up in lane one, so that's just sometimes
23:28how it can fall.
23:29Well, we'll see what happens now.
23:31I mean, that might be peaking too soon.
23:32You've set the ball high.

28:45Choose one.
28:46I think Raph I find quite intimidating with his focus.
28:50Whereas I have this tendency when I'm thinking to just gurn and make gurning faces.
28:55It doesn't matter on the face you're making, it's the answers you're giving.
28:58That's all we care about here.
28:59That's true.
29:00Right, pairs round now.

30:05I saw you going like this.
30:07I saw you going.
30:08I didn't know what I was doing, I just thought it might move quicker.
30:11It didn't.
30:12But you're in the final three.
30:13Yeah.
30:14Who is the one to beat in your race?
30:15I think just for pure speed, Luxme, she's just so fast with all the answers.

31:43I thought you were doing it.
31:44It was amazing.
31:45I'm a bit deaf in one ear.
31:46So when you said something about what do you make?
31:48I thought it was road petals.
31:50What part of a rose do you use to make rose water?
31:53Joe's answer, tarmac.
31:54Tarmac.
31:55Yeah.
31:56It's the best one, isn't it?
31:57It was the best one.
31:58But you still won.
31:59I'm still here.
32:00That's it.
32:01Who's the one to beat?

35:20I will say this.
35:21You said the kick.
35:22It was the correct answer and you both smashed that finish line right at the same time.
35:26Rav, I'm so sorry.
35:28Oh, just, yeah.
35:29Just couldn't get my momentum on there.
35:31Couldn't get it.
35:32You were still trying to...
35:33I was trying.
35:34I was trying to roam right there this time.
35:35Thought it might help.
35:37Clearly not.
35:38Sarah, what did you think of that race?
35:40Oh, Rav, you got Peru and Paris mixed up,
35:42which means you have to say au revoir to you right now.
35:45Yeah.
35:46Let's hear it though for Rav.
35:47Whoo!
35:50But loves me.
35:51And Joe, congratulations.
35:53You're through to the head-to-head and you're now just one step away
35:56from playing for £5,000 for your chosen charity.
35:59But to get that chance, you're going to need to stop your opponent in their tracks right here.
36:04Sarah, how does it work?
36:06In the head-to-head, you're on the buzzer.
36:09A correct answer makes your sleigh move and your opponent stop.
36:13But beware, if you buzz in and give a wrong answer, you'll stop moving
36:18and set your opponent in motion instead.
36:21The first one of you to reach the festive finish line goes through to the final
36:26for a chance to win your charity £5,000.
36:30Luxme and Joe, it all comes down to this.

36:46he's behind you.
36:49I know you've got something for that, Joe.
36:51Yeah, I have.
36:52Always remember, it's the early bird that gets the worm, but the second mouse that gets the cheese.
37:01There we go.
37:02All right, here we go, guys.
37:04Very good.
37:05Fingers on buzzers, please.
37:06Are we ready?
