00:00Five players on five moving podiums, all hoping to race their way to £5,000.
00:09Just don't be last to the finish line.
00:25Hello and welcome to the finish line, the show where contestants literally race
00:29their podiums across the studio floor to try and win £5,000.
00:33Now, I know what you're thinking.
00:34We could have splashed out on fancier podiums, but these are challenging times.
00:38Plus, we had to save our money for this lady's wardrobe budget.
00:42Please welcome the sartorially sumptuous Miss Sarah Green.
00:46Oh, that is so kind.
00:48I absolutely assure you, it's all vintage and sustainable, which is me as well.
00:55Very good. Ready to meet today's players?
00:57I am.
00:57OK. Today's players hoping to win big are Naomi, Matthew, John, Charlotte and Rohan.
01:06All right, here we go. Before we start racing,
01:09we 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.
01:15You'll see the subject, then the picture.
01:18So, of course, the answer here would be shuttlecock.
01:22Get five right and we'll stop the clock.
01:24So, who's going to start in which lane? Time to find out. First up today, it's Naomi,
01:29a charity assistant manager from Plymouth.
01:34Naomi.
01:34Hey.
01:35Welcome to the show. How are you feeling?
01:37Nervous, excited.
01:38Have you seen the show before?
01:39Yes, I have. I'm a massive fan. I watched it from the first show. I think I'm on my sixth
01:43run
01:43through now of all the episodes. Oh, God!
01:46Yeah, that's what we like to hear, isn't it? I think that is what we call a super fan.
01:50Yeah. Yeah. Oh, fantastic. I'm getting the fun vibes from you, Naomi. I like the hair colour,
01:55everything. What do you like to get up to in your free time?
01:57Yeah, we've been matching. I like karaoke.
01:58Yeah. I do a bit of belly dancing.
02:00Belly dancing? Really?
02:01Yes. Yes.
02:01I've done a half flow, which is a belly dance show in Halifax.
02:04You can't get away with saying that you do belly dancing without giving Al Roman. You know it's
02:09tradition now. Yeah. Show me. What do I need to do?
02:12We'll start with something really easy. So, this is a shimmy. So, just feet slightly apart.
02:16Yeah. Legs kind of loose. Belly in, if you can.
02:19All right. You've got it. Just a little shimmy like that.
02:21Whoa! Whoa!
02:22A little shimmy.
02:23I feel like more my bum's going. I'm just twerking.
02:26A little shimmy with the knees there.
02:28When you're at home cooking your pasta sauce, you can stir it in.
02:31Get the arms in.
02:34Naomi, you're right at home, aren't you?
02:37Well, look, Naomi, super fan Naomi, should I say.
02:41You know what's coming first? A picture round.

03:49Do you love Capybaras?
03:51Is that the thing?
03:51Um, not really.
03:52I just like the shirt.
03:53Just the shirt.
03:54Yeah, exactly.
03:55So what brings you here today, Matthew?
03:57Well, I actually applied last year for the finish line.
03:59Didn't get on, unfortunately.
04:00Didn't get on.

04:08I like board games as well, in general.
04:10Have you got a big collection of board games?
04:11Yes, it's about 200 or so, but it's...
04:14200?
04:14Yeah, it's spiraling out of control.
04:16I don't really have any room for new ones.
04:17But I keep buying new ones.
04:18Yeah, they're just piling up in the house.
04:20Well, actually, there's some under my bed.
04:21Because I don't have any other, because the shelf is full.
04:24Do you know what?
04:24Whenever someone like yourself comes on the show,
04:26they're part of a quiz team in the light board games,

06:05Oh, wow.
06:06We've been doing it for 18 years.
06:08We're on our 15th puppy.
06:10And our current little boy, Waldo, is keeping me just on the right side of being morbidly obese
06:14because of the walks I have to give him every day.
06:17It's getting your training in.
06:18It is, yeah.
06:19And as a result of volunteering for the charity, I've been lucky enough to meet the patron of the charity,
06:24Princess Anne, not once but twice.
06:25Twice?
06:26I didn't remember the courtesy.
06:27You did?
06:28Okay.
06:29Well, look, you ready for our picture round?

27:29Well, look, I mean, you've got some great competition out there.
27:32There I ask, who's the one to beat?
27:34It's going to have to be Matthew.
27:36It's just so fast.
27:37It's quite crazy, isn't it?
27:38It's just very fast.
27:39Yeah.
27:40Okay.
27:41£5,000.
27:42What would you like to do with the money?
27:43My dad is really interested in old planes as well as me,
27:46and I'd absolutely love to put him in a spitfire over the cliffs of Dover.
27:51It's his dream and therefore it's my dream.
27:52So I would love to do that for him.
27:54Oh, listen.
27:55Come on.
27:56Yeah.
27:57Very good, though.
27:58I like that.

29:22Thanks, Charlotte.
29:27Next up, it's Rohan.
29:32Rohan, final three, mate.
29:34It's a pleasure to be here.
29:35I can tell sometimes you're reaching in the back of your head
29:37and just pulling that knowledge forward.
29:38Is that right?
29:39Winston Churchill.
29:40Yes, call guessing.
29:42Oh, I don't know.
29:43I don't know.
29:44No, no, no.
29:45But they're very well-educated guessing.
29:47Well, I asked Charlotte about who is the one to beat out of you three.
29:50Is it Matthew to beat today?
29:53Just because she didn't say my name.
29:54I'm going to say Charlotte.
29:55Oh, really?
29:56Quiet but deadly.
29:57Okay.
29:58All right.
29:59All this, oh, not too sure.

30:04We call this on the show the triangle of hate that we are building here.
30:08Well, look, Rohan, £5,000.
30:10Nice amount of money.
30:11What are you going to do with it if you win?
30:12I feel really bad now,
30:13because Charlotte was saying how she's going to help her dad
30:15and Spitify us and everything.
30:17I just want a pinball machine and a jukebox.
30:21Hey, look, it's your dream, man.

30:23I know why we seem so shallow.
30:25Well, look, we've got pairs round for you now.

32:18Yeah.
32:18So, go on then.
32:19Who's the one to beat?
32:21Rohan's pretty good.
32:22I think he's pulled out a few guesses
32:23when he actually knows them, I think.
32:25There it is.
32:25The triangle of hate has been completed.
32:29You all equally hate one another.
32:32But, Matthew, okay.
32:33So, you win the show today.
32:36What are you going to do with the money?
32:37So, I know I've talked about the board games.
32:39I think I need more storage for them.
32:42So, maybe put it towards the house
32:43and then I can buy like a new shelf or something.
32:45A flipping expensive shelf.
32:47Yeah.
32:48You have to buy the house to buy the shelf.
32:50If you're going to spend that money,
32:51I will come and put the shelf up for you.
32:53Well, look, we've got our pairs round.

36:26You're through to the head-to-head and you're now just one step away from playing for £5,000.
36:32But to get that chance, you need to stop your opponents in their tracks right here.
36:37Sarah, how does it work?
36:38In the head-to-head, you're on the buzzer.
36:41A correct answer makes you move and your opponents stop.
36:45But beware, if you buzz in and give a wrong answer, you'll stop moving and set your opponent in motion
36:52instead.
36:53The first one of you to reach the finish line goes through to the final for a chance to play
36:59for £5,000.
37:02So Matthew and Charlotte, it all comes down to this.
37:05Matthew, you want to buy a bigger house to keep your board games in and Charlotte, you want to take

37:20Matthew, any final words for your opponent?
37:22Well, Charlotte, you may be a chef, but today I'm going to make sure it's your last supper.
37:26Oh, very nice. Charlotte, what have you got for that?
37:28Matthew, you may love your board games, but I'm going to sink your battleship here.
37:34Right, here we go.
