00:00Five players, on five moving podiums, all hoping to race their way to £5,000.
00:10Just don't be last.
00:11To the finish line.
00:25Hello and welcome to the finish line.
00:27The show where contestants literally race their podiums across the studio floor to try and win £5,000.
00:33Yes, on this show, if your brain's fast in a quiz, you'll be a race whiz.
00:38And speaking of the pitter-patter of grey matter, let's say hello to my co-host, our show's big pulsating
00:43brain in a jar.
00:44It's Sarah Green.
00:46That is such, such an attractive image.
00:50I love it. Yes, grey matter.
00:52That's where it counts, isn't it?
00:54Perfect. Ready to meet today's players? Yes, I am.
00:57OK, today's players hoping to win big are Ben, Habiba, Howie, Mia and Dave.
01:05All right, here we go. Before we start racing, we need to put our players in order with today's first
01:10qualifier.
01:11But Sarah, how does it work?
01:12Our first qualifier is the picture game.
01:14You'll see the subject, then the picture.
01:17So, of course, the answer here would be ice lolly.
01:21We'll stop the clock when you get five right.
01:24So, who's going to start in which lane?
01:25First up today, it's Ben, a personal trainer and author from Belfast.
01:32Welcome, Ben.
01:33Thank you very much.
01:34Clearly a personal trainer.
01:35What made you want to get into it?
01:36So, I have cystic fibrosis.
01:37I actually studied film and media for years.
01:40Worked on a couple of film sets, including the first season of Game of Thrones.
01:44Then, speaking to one of the Dothraki warriors, I discovered what personal training was.
01:49And because of my health concerns, I took a diversion into personal training.
01:53Best decision I ever made.
01:53So, when you're not immersed in the world of fitness, what do you like to get up to for fun?
01:58I'm a bit of a self-confessed nerd.
02:00Lord of the Rings is my thing.
02:03Yes.
02:03Which...
02:04This is mine.
02:05This is mine.
02:06You cannot have it.
02:07Do you go to conventions, stuff like that, then?
02:10I used to dress up as Thor, but not for the convention side of it.
02:14I actually dressed up for kids with cystic fibrosis.
02:17Because I wanted...
02:18Growing up, there was no one I knew who had CF, like me.
02:21And I wanted to give kids something to look up to.
02:24That is such an inspiration.
02:25Really nice.
02:26For sure.
02:27And we know you look at the park, because we've got a picture.
02:30Look at him there!
02:31Oh, my God.
02:32Can't bend over, though, at all.
02:33I lost a hairband once and just had to stand and stare at it until Catwoman came in.
02:37Helped you out.
02:38OK, Ben.
02:39Well, it's time for our first qualifier.
02:42Picture round.
02:42How are you feeling about this?
02:43Pretty good.
02:44Perfect.
02:45OK, Thor, here we go.
02:46Your time starts now.
02:51Bee creature.

03:05Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
03:08Language.
03:09French.
03:10Very, very, very good, Ben.
03:13And also, saying Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on a daytime show is a difficult thing.
03:19So I appreciate that.
03:20Yeah, you should have an extra point for that.
03:22But we won't do that because you have done brilliantly anyway.
03:25A clear round.
03:26You're first up.
03:27You're laying down the mark.
03:28You've got your five correct answers in 19.2 seconds.
03:33Ben, go to lane one.
03:35Thank you very much.
03:41Next up, it's Habiba, an eye surgeon from Altringham.
03:45Hey, Habiba.
03:46How are you?
03:47How are you?
03:47How are you feeling?
03:48I'm good.
03:49Yeah, great.
03:50Happy to be here.
03:51Great.
03:52That's...
03:52Eye surgeon.
03:53High stakes job, right?
03:54It is a little bit.
03:56Yeah.
03:56One false move and somebody could lose the vision.
03:58So, yeah.
03:59Very high pressured.
04:00Yeah, you've got quite a pissing eye.
04:01I don't know if you were, like, looking at my eyes thinking,
04:04could do a bit of a...
04:05Making a little diagnosis.
04:06Oh, really?
04:07Are they okay?
04:07Mine are fine.
04:08No, I'm saying they're mine.
04:10I'm not wondering about yours.
04:12Fine.
04:12Yeah.
04:13I have to say, yeah, beautiful.
04:15I agree with them myself.
04:17So, any other jobs that you've done that required steady hands?
04:20Yeah.
04:21Well, I'm just starting to learn how to tattoo, actually.
04:24I would really love to be a tattoo artist at some point.
04:27Yeah.
04:28On the side.
04:28You're the perfect person for it.
04:30Steady hands.
04:30That's what we all need.
04:31Yeah, steady hands.
04:32I've always been a little bit artistic.
04:33Don't really want to combine the two, though.
04:35Those eye tattoos, I'm not sure about.
04:37Yeah.
04:39Habiba, you ready for our picture round?
04:40I am.
04:41Okay, here we go.

05:21You did it.
05:22Just one pass there, Habiba.

05:27Okay.
05:27So you have 19.2 seconds to beat.
05:31You've got your five correct answers in 27.7 seconds, which means you go to lane two.
05:37Thanks, Habiba.
05:42Next up, it's Howie, a driving instructor from Bristol.
05:48Howie, welcome to the finish line.
05:51Go on, tell me, why are you here today?
05:52I'm here because I love quizzing.
05:55I love watching the show.
05:56I love doing pub quizzes.
05:58Pub quiz team name?
05:59Quizzy Quatem was quite fun.
06:01Nice.
06:02So you must have nerves of steel.
06:04You're a driving instructor.
06:05Yeah, it's not a job for the faint-hearted.
06:07You know, you do get the hair-raising moments when students, you tell them to break because
06:10you're approaching a roundabout.
06:12And they're like, well, I took my foot off the accelerator.
06:14I'm like, that's why we mounted the kerb at 30.
06:17Frustration levels.
06:18You must be quite chill then.
06:20Surprisingly, yeah.
06:21Although when I'm trying to help my wife parallel park, it's not quite.
06:24No.
06:25It's quite amazing how calm you can be when you're being paid.
06:29Which is why I'm really looking forward to winning the 5,000.
06:32Right, okay.
06:32Confidence too.
06:34Okay, Howie.
06:35Well, look, we've got our picture round now.
06:37You ready for this?
06:37Absolutely.
06:38Of course you are.

07:11Yeah, exactly.
07:11Sarah?
07:12No passes, no wrong answers.
07:14You went straight through.

07:32Next up, it's Mia, a business development manager from Cannock.
07:39Mia, welcome to the finish line.
07:42Happy to be here.
07:43Slightly nervous, but...
07:44Well, I was going to say, that's a really hard act to follow.
07:47OK?
07:48So, let's just...
07:49Don't let it put you off.
07:50Let's talk about something else, just for a moment.
07:52So, when you're not working, what do you like to do for fun?
07:55Erm, I do mountain biking.
07:56Right.
07:57So, I've been racing since I was about eight or nine.
08:00Right.
08:00And riding since I could walk, pretty much.
08:03I've done, like, the national series and...
08:05I went to enter one of the World Cups last year,
08:07so it was the open category of the World Cup,
08:09and I thought, this is completely ridiculous,
08:11but I'm going to enter and see if it goes well.
08:13And I got second.
08:14Ah!
08:15Well done!
08:16I don't know how that happened.
08:17We do actually have a video of you.
08:20Let's take a look at this.
08:21Look steady.
08:22Oh!
08:24Oh!
08:24Saw wrists after that.
08:25It must be so scary for me.
08:28No, I actually wasn't scared, which is really weird,
08:30because I'm a bit of a wuss.
08:31I'm, like, scared of a lot of things,
08:32but surprisingly, not scared at all.
08:34It was amazing.
08:35Yeah.
08:35Yeah.
08:35Don't worry, these only go, like, a mile an hour.
08:37That's all right, then.
08:38That's a bit better.
08:39You'll be fine.
08:40Got a picture round-up first for you now.

10:32Just wish I had their questions.
10:33Oh, there you go.
10:35So, Dave, how do you keep active now you're retired?
10:36I do a little bit of aqua biking.
10:38I used to do triathlon.
10:39A bit of a knee injury could tell me there.
10:41So, aqua biking, for those that don't know.
10:43I just cut out the running.
10:45So, I just do the swimming, followed by a bike ride.
10:47Yeah.

12:14Ready to get racing?
12:15Yes, I am.
12:16What do they need to know?
12:18Our players will be asked questions down the line, starting with lane one.
12:22Get an answer right and their podium will start moving.
12:25But if they take too long to answer, pass or get one wrong at any point, they'll immediately stop in
12:32their tracks.
12:33When players are close to the end of the track, their lanes will become supercharged to tell them they're in
12:39the end zone and approaching the finish line.
12:42The player who doesn't reach the finish line is out.
12:47So, there you have it.
12:48It's as easy as that.
12:50Just don't come last.
12:51Now, remember, it is a race, so you must answer within the time limit.
12:56Now, Howie, you qualified fastest, so that means on this occasion the first question will be yours.

16:06Yeah.
16:06Right at the end.
16:07Yeah, if I was one of my students, I wouldn't have been impressed with them.
16:09Yeah, how did you find the race?
16:10It was terrifying.
16:11I could see everyone else in my peripheral vision coming.
16:13I was like, oh no, don't go off first, don't go off first.
16:16Oh no.
16:17Well look, you made it.

36:27But Ben and Mia, congratulations.
36:29You are now through to the head-to-head.
36:32You're now just one step away from playing for £5,000.
36:36But to get that chance, you're going to need to stop your opponent in their tracks right here.
36:40Listen carefully to Sarah.
36:42You're on the buzzer in the head-to-head.
36:45A correct answer makes you move and your opponents stop.
36:49But beware, if you buzz in and give a wrong answer, you'll stop moving and set your opponent in motion
36:56instead.

37:03for £5,000.

37:23Mia, I know you love your mountain biking, but it's going to be all downhill from here.
37:27Oh, Mia, what's your response to that?
37:29I know you like to dress up as Thor, but I'm going to hammer you in this rice.
37:32Oh, very good. Very good.
37:35Here we go, then. Fingers on buzzers, please.
