00:00Five players on five moving podiums, all hoping to race their way to £5,000.
00:09Just don't be lost to The Finish Line.
00:25Hello and welcome to The Finish Line,
00:27the show where contestants literally race their podiums across the studio floor
00:31to try and win £5,000.
00:33Yes, this show is poetry in motion.
00:35Please don't turn over though, I promise you, there is no actual poetry.
00:38What there is, however, is our very own Wordsworth.
00:42Always here, bobbing up and down like a daffodil, it's the truly picturesque Sarah Green.
00:48Yeah, thank you.
00:51No pressure there then.
00:52I like the daffodil reference, that is bang on, thank you.
00:56There you go, ready to meet today's players?
00:58I am.
00:58OK, today's players hoping to win big are Anna Marie, Stephen, Savannah, Jan and Brandon.
01:07OK, here we go, before we start racing we need to put our players in order with today's first qualifier.
01:12So Sarah, how does it work?
01:13Qualifier one is the picture game.
01:16First we'll show you a subject, then we'll reveal an image.
01:19So to get this right, you'd answer shuttlecock.
01:23Get five right and we'll stop the clock.
01:25Who's going to start in which lane?
01:27Let's find out.
01:28First up today, it's Anna Marie, a DJ and educator from Hackney.
01:34Anna Marie, welcome to the finish line.
01:38Look, DJ, it's a great job, right?
01:40Yeah, it's fun, it's exciting, it comes with challenges.
01:43Any other interests that you had growing up?
01:45I was really interested into politics, so I got stuck into Hackney Youth Parliament.
01:50I went to uni and studied politics and international relations.
01:53But I had a career shift.
01:55I love the kerfuffle on the news, but not as a career.
01:58I love that you call it a kerfuffle.
02:01Yeah, it's kind of like kerfuffle or DJing, you went with that.
02:04I went with a DJing, right?
02:05Yeah, exactly.
02:07All right, well look, picture round today.
02:09How do you feel about it?
02:12Okay, it might not be my strongest round, but I'm going to do my best.
02:15Okay, that's all I ask.
02:16Yeah.
02:17But also, I'm asking for five correct answers as quickly as I can.

39:46Thank you so much, guys.
39:47Let's hear it for Stephen.
39:52But, Jan, you're today's winner and you'll now be playing for £5,000.
39:56Sarah's going to tell you how it works.
39:58To win that £5,000, all Jan has to do is make it to the finish line one final time.
40:05But there's a twist, because she'll be racing against the track itself.
40:10Jan will face a series of quick-fire questions.
40:13She must get them right to keep moving.
40:15A wrong answer will stop her in her tracks.
40:19She has to stay ahead of the red to win the cash.
40:23But if Jan gets caught,
40:26it's game over.
40:30Jan, you want to take your family to Lapland to visit Santa.
40:35You have done so well to make it this far.
40:37Honestly, you've been brilliant.
40:38Let's see, though, if you can go the distance.
40:41Now, listen carefully.
40:42The track will start moving when I finish reading the first question.
40:46That trip to Lapland right there.
40:50One piece of advice.
40:51Do you know what I'm going to tell you?
40:51Don't look back.
40:53Don't look back.
40:54That's it, Jan.
40:55Jan, we're all with you for the final time today.
40:58Best of luck.
