01:06and presenter Will Best.
01:09All right, here we go. Before we start racing, we need to put our celebrities in order with
01:13today's first qualifier. So, Sarah, how does it work?
01:16Qualifier one is the picture game. You'll see the subject, then the picture. So, the correct
01:22answer here would be bauble.
01:25Get five right and we'll stop the clock.
01:27So, who's going to start in which lane? Let's find out. First up today is the king of puns himself.
01:33Here to hold on for dear life. It's our rebel without a clause. The tremendously talented
01:39comedian. I'll let him tell the jokes. It's Tim Vine.
01:42Woo!
01:44Hello, Tim.
01:45Hello, how are you? Happy Christmas.
01:47Welcome. Happy Christmas.

02:06I mean, it's the first time it's ever been done, so that's a first.
02:09Is that a first? Yeah.
02:10It absolutely is, and I bet you'll break it now.
02:12Oh, Brian, that's the most exercise I've ever had.

04:37Oh, me and my husband.
04:39You and your husband?
04:39Yeah.
04:39But we have our own designated jobs because we would clash so badly otherwise.
04:44Do you start at different times?
04:45Is it like clocking in, clocking out shifts?
04:47No, we start at the same time and then I go to the pub.
04:50Yeah.
04:53And I go back and I've had a couple and I go, everything's fine.
04:56Yeah, it tastes great, yeah.
04:58Okay.

07:16Hold for applause.
07:17Yeah.
07:18Hold for applause.
07:19And you'll get it.
07:21And what about yourself, in terms of quizzing knowledge?
07:24Well, actually, pre-Drag Race, I used to host a pub quiz
07:27at the two brewers in Clapham, if you've ever been.
07:29Yes, I have been.
07:30You'd love it.
07:31It's cab.
07:31Yeah.
07:32So, hopefully, that will stand me in good stead.

09:37Oh, Panto's just the best time, isn't it?

12:45Yeah.
12:46So the time was 11.15.

12:55Yeah.
12:55Yeah.
12:55Yes.
12:56So the time to beat is 17 seconds.

13:16Remind us, who have we got?
13:17We have presenter Will, comedian Tim, singer Cheryl, drag queen Tia, and singer-actor and presenter Kelly.

13:30Oh, wow.
13:31Okay.
13:31Well, let's get racing.
13:32How does it work?
13:33Our celebrity players will be asked questions down the line, starting with lane one.
13:38Get an answer right, and their sleighs will start moving.
13:42But if they take too long to answer, pass, or get one wrong at any point, they'll immediately stop in
13:47their tracks.
13:48When our celebrities are close to the end of the track, their lanes will become supercharged
13:53to tell them they're in the end zone and approaching the festive finish line.
13:58The celebrity who doesn't reach the festive finish line is out.
14:03It's as easy as that.
14:05Just don't come last.
14:07Remember, this is a race, so you must answer within the time limit.

18:09Let's welcome back Tim.
18:10Woo!
18:13Wow.
18:15Oh, I tell you what, that was never in doubt.
18:20It was like someone had given my podium a modium.
18:22Yeah.
18:25But, yeah, but it got going eventually.
18:27We've got a missing letters round for you now.
18:29Right, I can't wait.
18:30Okay, five correct answers.
18:31Let's see what lane you end up in this time.
18:33Okay, all right.
18:34Good luck.

19:09One wrong.
19:10Yes.
19:10Hosted dancing on ice.
19:12Who did you say it was?
19:13I said Sean Mason.
19:14Sean Mason.
19:15Doesn't exist, I think.
19:16Try Stephen Mulhern.
19:17Of course.
19:18Yes.
19:18You got your five correct in 24.9 seconds.
19:23So, that's the time for everybody else to try and beat.
19:25You take lane one.
19:26Thanks so much, Tim.
19:32Next up, it's Cheryl.
19:36Cheryl, look at that smile on your face.
19:39Unbelievable!
19:40I can't believe it, because Kelly was there.
19:42She was wartsing back, and that...
19:45That's how the game goes.
19:46What did I tell you?
19:47Yeah, you did.
19:48Well, we've got a missing letters round for you.
19:50Right.
19:51Are you ready for this one?
19:52Yes.
19:53Reverse Superwoman, get those glasses on.

20:32That felt good?
20:33Yeah, what was the Lion King one?
20:35Go to Sarah.
20:36The only thing you passed on, Cheryl, was the Lion King song,
20:39The Circle of Life.
20:41Of course.
20:42Yes.
20:42I'm an idiot.
20:42Yes.
20:43So, 24.9 seconds to beat.
20:46You got your five correct in 26.2.
20:50That's it.
20:50And you go to lane two.
20:52Thank you very much.
20:53Thank you so much.
20:56Back again, it's Tia.
21:00Hello.
21:01Hello.
21:03Tia looks so glamorous, looks so fabulous, crossing that line there.
21:07How did it feel?
21:07Oh, it felt amazing.
21:09I thought it wasn't going to happen.
21:10Really?
21:11It's way more nerve-wracking than I thought it was going to be,
21:13because the questions are so random.
21:16Yes.
21:16It could be anything at any time, and I'm not emotionally prepared
21:19for that kind of behaviour.
21:21Okay, Tia.
21:22You ready for this?
21:22Missing letters?
21:23Born ready.
21:23Here we go.

21:50That was really quick.
21:52That was quick.
21:53Why are you so spoiled at the football question?
21:54You got that great.
21:55Love football.
21:56Love that.
21:58Yes, so just one pass.
22:00And that was the film genre action.
22:03Action.
22:04Oh, lads, lads, lads.
22:05Love that.
22:05Yeah.
22:06You had 24.9 seconds to beat.
22:09You got your five correct in 19.4.
22:16Tia, you go very regally down towards lane one.
22:19Thank you, Tia.
22:24And finally, we have Will.
22:28Hi again.
22:29Hi.
22:30Will, how did you find the race?
22:32Erm, I think I got lucky with the questions.
22:35Really?
22:36I mean, look what happened to Kelly.
22:37I know.
22:38She got unlucky with the questions.
22:39It can happen.
22:40It can happen both ways.
22:40You've still got to do it under pressure.
22:42And you did it.
22:42Yes.
22:42And look what happened.
22:43Yes, I did all right.
22:44Yeah.
22:45Well, look.
22:46Missing letters round.
22:47This is the one I struggle with the most.
22:48I'm nearly as bad at this as telling the time.
22:51So, this could be bad.
22:53Okay.
22:53All right.
22:54Should we give it a go?
22:54Yep, let's give it a go.
22:56Your time starts now.

23:27That was slow.
23:28That felt slow to me.
23:29It wasn't time, but it was...
23:30They're doing sarcastic clapping.
23:31That was slow, wasn't it?
23:33Let's go to Sarah.
23:34Let's unpack it.
23:35So, you've got one pass and one wrong, Will.
23:37The coffee chain is Cafe Nero.
23:40Yeah.
23:41King's Mill, the bread.
23:42Yeah.
23:42You said it.
23:43So, the time to beat is 19.4 seconds.
23:46You got your five correct answers in 26.3 seconds.
23:51And that means you go to lane four.
23:54Thank you, Will.
23:55Thanks, man.
24:00So, we have our line-up for the second race.
24:03Tia, you qualified fastest in our missing letters round.
24:06That means the first question this time will be yours.

25:41Oh!
25:47Tim, I've got to say, that is a good race to go on.
25:50That was a hard race.
25:52They were all fierce competitors.
25:53Spot the dog.
25:54Well, I didn't, did I?
25:55I didn't spot you.
25:58It was that question that rooted you to the spot, quite literally.
26:03Oh, Tim, I'm so sorry to see you go.
26:06You haven't made it to the festive finish line, but it's been wonderful to have you here.
26:09Thank you so much.
26:10Thank you for having me.
26:11I've loved it.
26:11Let's hear it for Tim, everyone.
26:14Thank you, Tim.
26:16Tia, Cheryl and Will, congratulations, you've survived once again.
26:21You're all one step closer to playing for £5,000 for your chosen charity.
26:25Time now for another race, but up next, a qualifier.
26:29Sarah's going to tell you what you're up against.
26:31Qualifier three is a game of pairs.
26:33We'll reveal a subject and then three pairs of answers.
26:37Only one pair contains two correct answers.
26:41Get five right and we'll stop the clock.
26:43So who's going to be fastest to qualify this time?
26:46Time to find out.
26:46First up, it's Will.
26:51Hi, guys.
26:52You going for it?
26:53Yes.
26:54Will.
26:54Yes.
26:55First in the first race.
26:56Yeah.
26:57Scraped it.
26:58Scraped it a little bit, but my plan worked.
27:00Okay.
27:00So now I'm doing this bit first.
27:02Oh, yeah.
27:03Do you know what I mean?
27:04Yeah.
27:05So always planning ahead.
27:07But now I don't have an excuse.
27:09Yeah.
27:09Go on, tell me, who's the one to beat?
27:11Well, they're both incredibly good.
27:13I think Tia is the dark horse with this quiz master background.
27:18Yeah, yeah.
27:18I think you guys should do background checks.
27:20Yeah.
27:20No professionals allowed, surely.
27:23Yeah, I know.
27:23No, I think you're on something now.
27:24Okay, we've got a pairs round for you to get through.
27:26Okay.
27:27You ready for this?
27:28Let's do it.
27:29Because you're first up, I'll give you a little bit of a tip on it.
27:31Oh, see?
27:32Take your time, but not too much time.
27:36That's one of the most useless bits of advice I think I've ever been given,
27:39so thank you for that.
27:39Hey, hey, you can take that one to the bank.
27:42All right, here we go.

28:12It was just the right amount of time.
28:14It was good.
28:15You got five correct answers.
28:16That was brilliant, wasn't it, Zoe?
28:17It really was.
28:18Thanks, guys.
28:19A clean sweep, a clear round.

28:43You're in the final three.
28:45I know, that's great.
28:45Well done.
28:46It's fantastic.
28:47You tell me, though, who do you think is the one to beat?
28:51Unquestionably, Tia.
28:52Really?
28:53She's so fast.
28:54Yeah.
28:54And knowledgeable.
28:55Wow, okay.
28:56I thought you would have said, Will, Will's done pretty well.
28:58No, no, no, he's rubbish.
29:03Pairs round, how do you think you're going to do with this one?
29:06Not great.
29:06Especially, like, the ones that Will just had.
29:08Yeah.
29:09I didn't know half of them, so...
29:10Okay.
29:11But we don't know how it falls.
29:12No.
29:12You ready for it?
29:13Yes.
29:13Right, I'll reverse Superwoman.

29:58Yeah, I know.
29:59Right at the end of it.
30:00It's fantastic.
30:01Five great answers.
30:02Well done.
30:02Sarah, how fast was that?
30:03Absolutely.
30:03Just one wrong, no passes.
30:05The Bake Off judges, Paul Hollywood and Prue Lee.
30:08Of course.
30:09Of course.
30:09So, 23.2 seconds is the time to beat.
30:12Cheryl, you got your five correct in 31.8 seconds.
30:17So, Cheryl, for now, you're in lane two.
30:19Thanks so much, Cheryl.
30:24Last up this time, it's Tia.
30:28Tia.
30:29Hello.
30:30A drag racer.
30:31You won the race.
30:32You're apparently the one to beat.
30:34Allegedly.
30:35What do you think about that?
30:36I think it's very lovely of both of them.
30:38But this, very specifically, is the round that I can't do at home.
30:42And I hate it.
30:43I'm so stressed about it.
30:45All right.
30:45Well, who do you think is the one to be out of Cheryl and Will?
30:48They're both so good.
30:50But I do have to raise that Cheryl once voted me off the weakest link
30:55about three years ago.
30:58So, I feel like...
30:59Not that we hold grudges.
31:00No, no grudge to be held.
31:01But if we were against each other, I think that would be quite calm.
31:05Fine.
31:07Well, let's see what happens.
31:08Ready for your pairs round?
31:09Yeah.
31:10Okay, here we go.

31:47It's tough.
31:48Yeah.
31:48I can't work out if you're just the best hustler in the world,
31:51because that was so good.
31:52It is genuinely just me powering through an anxiety attack.
31:57Okay.
31:57Okay.
31:58Well, look, you've done it.
31:59Breathe.
32:00Listen carefully to Sarah.
32:01No passes.
32:02No wrong answers.
32:04You've got 23.2 to beat.
32:08You got your five correct answers in 22.5 seconds.

33:48It's acupuncture.
33:49That's the one.
33:49Will, what type of salad ingredient...
33:52Oh!
33:56Cheryl!
33:57You can't ask me any more questions.
33:59I can just...
33:59I can sit there and watch them...
34:01Fight it out.
34:02Yes.
34:02Yeah.
34:03Oh, Sarah.
34:04What a fantastic race that was, though.
34:06Oh, absolutely it was.
34:07And I'm so sorry, Cheryl.
34:10The Drake question, a bad rap for you.
34:12And then the acupuncture pierced your chances.
34:15Oh, but you have brought so much fizz to this game.
34:19Thank you so much for being with us.
34:21It's a pleasure.
34:22Cheryl, so sorry to see you go.
34:24You know, you haven't made it to our festive finish line.
34:26So I'm afraid that's your lot.
34:28Let's hear it, though, for Cheryl.
34:30Woo!
34:32Batia and Will, congratulations.
34:35You guys are through to the head-to-head.
34:37And you're now just one step away from playing for £5,000
34:41for your chosen charity.
34:43But to get that chance,
34:44you're going to need to stop your opponent in their tracks
34:46right here.
34:49Sarah's going to tell you how it works.
34:51In the head-to-head, you're on the buzzer.
34:54The correct answer makes your sleigh move
34:56and your opponent stop.
34:58But beware, if you buzz in and give a wrong answer,
35:01you'll stop moving and set your opponent in motion instead.
35:06The first one of you to reach the festive finish line
35:09goes through to the final
35:10for a chance to win your charity £5,000.
35:15Tia and Will, it all comes down to this.
35:19You've both done so well to make it this far,
35:21but unfortunately, only one of you can win today.
35:24Tia, any final words for your opponent?
35:27Big Brother House, this is Tia.
35:30Will, you're about to be evicted.
35:34Blow, blow.
35:35Will, what have you got to say back to that?
35:37Hey, Tia, get ready to be in tears
35:39when I snatch the game from you at the finish line.
35:43Rude, very rude.
35:45Right, fingers on buzzers, please.
