00:00Five famous faces on five festive sleighs, all hoping to win their chosen
00:06charity £5,000. Just don't be last to the festive finish line.
00:25Hello, ho, ho, and welcome to the festive finish line, the show where celebrities literally
00:30race their sleighs across the studio floor to try and win their chosen charity £5,000.
00:36Yes, the studio is looking like a winter wonderland, by which I mean the snow is fake and we're
00:41charging £8.99 for a hot chocolate. But which celebrity will feel the warm glow of five
00:46grand for their charity? Before we find out, overseeing it all is a woman who's just like
00:51a Christmas market, because she's absolutely full of mulled wine. It's my co-host, Miss Sarah Green.
00:58I wish. Now, Roman, you know I never drink and quiz. Ever.
01:03Ever. What's that under... Anyway. Right, ready to meet today's players?
01:06I am. Okay. Today's celebrity players hoping to win big for their charity's
01:22All right, here we go. Before we start racing, we need to put our celebrities in order with
01:27today's first qualifier. So, Sarah, how does it work?
01:30Well, our first qualifier is the picture game. You'll see the subject, then the picture.
01:34So, of course, here, the answer would be Christmas pudding.
01:39We'll stop the clock when you get five right.
01:42Okay, who's going to start in which lane? Let's find out. First up today, it's the ding-dong,
01:46merrily-on-high voiced one, armed with a cracker joke or ten. Oh, no, it isn't.
01:50Oh, yes, it is. Please welcome entertainer Joe Pasquale.
01:54Hey! Woo! Roman. Welcome, Roman.
01:58Oh, Sarah. Hello, hi, darling. How exciting is this?
02:01It's too exciting for words. This is so exciting. Welcome to the inside of a Christmas cracker.
02:06You've got really good eyes close up, haven't you? Thank you so much. It's all right.
02:09Yeah, bribery gets you nowhere, unfortunately, on this show. It's worth a try.
02:12Joe, how's the year been for you? It's been very busy. I've been on the road this year with
02:15the Pratt Packer. Of course. Which was myself, Bradley Walsh, Shane Ritchie,
02:19and Brian Connolly. Surely, like, there must be a couple of quizzes going here and there.
02:23No, there's no quizzes. More prostate talk than anything else because we're all in our
02:2860s now and all we ever discussed was how many times you get up in the night for a wee
02:32and that was it. And we had a competition to see who had the most. And we were wearing
02:36each other's pants and socks on the road and all that sort of stuff. Who's got the best
02:38pant collection? Me, because I always keep them. They don't want them back after I've
02:41worn them, so it's always me. Okay. So, let's have a joke. How's your quizzing?
02:47What's really good for me is everybody thinks I'm a bit of a
02:49div. So, if I come last, it's fine. Everyone 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. Thank you.
02:59Well, look, Joe, picture round. Your eyes, your eyes are great.
03:03Don't look at my eyes. I need you to look at these pictures, all right?
03:05Five correct answers in our picture round as fast as you can.
03:08Are you ready for this? Yeah.
03:09Good luck, Joe. Thank you. Your time starts now.

03:18Former England goalkeeper.

03:42First aid item.

03:59You got three passes and just one wrong.
04:02Yeah.
04:02The former England goalkeeper, David James.
04:05The Christmas film, The Santa Claus.
04:08Loose woman panellist, Ruth Langsford.
04:10Of course it is.
04:11And the U.S. TV show, Succession.
04:14And it was on the tip of your tongue.
04:16It was.
04:16I know.
04:16You're first up here, Joe.
04:18You're laying down the marker.
04:21You've got your five correct answers in 39.8 seconds.
04:27Joe, go to lane one.
04:28Thanks so much, Joe.
04:33Next 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,
04:40than roasting chestnuts.
04:41It's newsreader Luxme Gopal.
04:48Luxme, you got the note on the sparkliness.
04:52That is fantastic.
04:53We didn't know, Roman.
04:53I know.
04:54Well, do you know what?
04:54Well, I actually wrote the note to everyone.
04:57Yeah.
04:57And he promised me he'd come out as Elf.
05:02The full Will Ferrell Elf.
05:05That would have been amazing.
05:05That's what I was looking forward to.
05:07The other option that Sarah said is I have to wear tinsel pants.
05:10I mean, that doesn't sound comfortable.
05:12It's really not.
05:14Yeah.
05:14So, Luxme, tell me, how's the year been for you?
05:16Yeah, it's been good.
05:17It's been busy, as it always is.
05:19Lots 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 it.
05:26Sorry.
05:27What?
05:28I actually don't get in until half four.
05:30That's great.
05:30It's sort of a lion, 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?
05:39Yes, absolutely.
05:40Well, look, you saw Jo take on the picture round first.
05:44That's why I'm so scared.
05:44At least you're not first.
05:45At least you're not first, right?
05:46That's true.
05:46Tell us the charity you're playing for today.
05:48The charity is the MND Association.
05:52Fantastic.
05:52That's really lovely.
05:54Got our picture round up first.
05:55You ready?
05:56I'll try to be.
05:57Okay, come on.
05:58Here we go.
05:59Glasses on.
06:00It's like a reverse superwoman situation.
06:02Okay, so good luck.

06:23Oh, hello.
06:25What are you worried about?
06:28Sarah?
06:29No passes.
06:30No 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.
06:43Luxme, go to lane one.
06:46Thank you so much.
06:50Next up, a World Cup winner who slayed the opposition.
06:54She's the sporting star we should all be following.
06:56Ho, 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.
07:11Is it crazy to just say that?
07:13Like, you know, now, like, life's just like,
07:15yeah, World Cup winner, what 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
07:23celebrating a little bit more.
07:24But, yeah, honestly, the best time ever.
07:26This is you on Christmas Day with a chocolate egg.
07:30But when everyone's spraying off the champagne,
07:32is it just a load of people going,
07:33I can't see anything?
07:35Yeah.
07:35It's all in my eyes.
07:37The sting in your eyes.
07:37Yeah.
07:38You don't even think about it at the time,
07:39and 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.
07:46I do like the odd quiz, odd pub quiz.
07:49We have a few quizzes on the bus here and there.
07:51Okay.
07:51We have very extravagant themes.
07:54Like, one theme that we do have is whose knees are these,
07:57which you get a picture of someone's kneecap
07:59and you've got to see whose kneecap it is.
08:03Okay.
08:04And tell me, who's the charity you're playing for today?
08:06So, today I'm playing for 4Ed Charity,
08:09which is an M&D-supporting families living with M&D.
08:12Fantastic.
08:13Really well done.

09:49Looking festive as well.
09:51Very good.
09:51Like little candy canes.
09:52Yes.
09:53But not quite.
09:54Beautiful.
09:54Well look, I mean, EastEnders and Christmas, it's always carnage.
09:59The high drama always comes at that time and 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.
10:09You never know though.
10:10It can be quite chaotic.
10:12What about quizzing though?
10:14Can get quite competitive.
10:15I'm not that competitive because I always resign myself to losing.
10:18Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:19My ability to retain information is not very good.
10:22Okay.
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.

11:30Expectations low.
11:31I loved it.
11:31Don't worry.
11:32You're gonna kick yourself at some of these answers though.
11:34Why, why does the pressure make you forget everything?
11:38Oh my God, what a laugh.
11:40Only one pass and two wrong.
11:42The FIFA Country Code, you said Balencia.

12:22It's presenter, Rav Wilding.
12:27How are you, mate?
12:28Yeah, I'm really good. I'm excited about this.
12:30Look at that for a Christmas jumper.
12:32I know.
12:32It's so tasteful.
12:33It does what it says on the tin.
12:35Exactly. No 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.
12:40So before I'd be out with my friends and having, you know, partying and whatever,
12:44and coming in at six.
12:45Now I'm waking up at six because she's ready for presents.
12:48So that keeps me really, really busy.
12:51And what about quizzing? Any good?
12:53I'm either all right or I'm really rubbish.
12:55And I've never done a quiz where I'm actually moving before.
12:58So that's going to be new to me.
12:59It's a lot easier at home. That's what I've also...
13:01Yeah.
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.

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.
14:33But if they take too long to answer, pass or get one wrong at any point, they'll immediately stop in
14:39their 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.
14:49The celebrity who doesn't reach the festive finish line is out.
14:55It's as easy as that. Just don't come last.
14:58Remember, it is a race, so you must answer within the time limit.
15:03Luxme, you qualified fastest, so that means the first question this time is yours.

18:41I'm still here, that's all that matters.
18:43So tell me, Joe, what's Christmas like at your place?
18:45Christmas for me is normally sleeping, washing my pants and eating Brussels.
18:49In that order.
18:49I 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 days.
18:56Oh, yeah.
18:58Okay, Joe, we've got a missing letters.
19:00Oh, very good.

19:54Rugby World Cup final.
19:56How scary does that compare to that race?
19:59I'd say the World Cup final just pipped it slightly.
20:02Just slightly.
20:03We were close there.
20:04We were close.
20:05We were close.
20:06Well, well done.
20:07How did you find the race?

21:29It's nice to be here.
21:30It took you a beat on the Man United question,
21:33but you got there in the end.
21:34Just.

21:39Yeah.
21:39See, they all go gold.
21:40Yeah.
21:40Look at all the losers back there.
21:42That's it.

21:47You're in Crimewatch.
21:48Come on.
21:49Just search for the letters.
21:50You ready?
21:51Very good, actually.
21:52Come on.
21:53You can do it.
21:53Come on.
21:54Let's give this a go.

22:47Thank you, Rad.
22:53This just in.
22:54We can confirm that Luxme won the last race and that means she's up now.
23:04That looked great.
23:06I'm still terrified and my hands are still clammy.
23:10Really?
23:11It's still much scarier than any kind of news coverage.
23:13Really?
23:14Well, because, do you know, I would not have answered some of those other questions.
23:18You were fast.
23:19Well, I think it's a lot to do with the questions you end up with,
23:21because there were so many that the others got that I would not have got.
23:24Yeah, but you got those questions because you end up in lane one,
23:27so that's just sometimes how it can fall.
23:29Well, we'll see what happens now.
23:30I mean, that might be peaking too soon.
23:32You've set the ball high.
23:33Missing letters now.

27:34Well done.

27:36What do you think happened there?
27:37Honestly, I had no clue on any of those.

28:20First up, it's Luxme.
28:22Lucky, lucky, Luxme.
28:25I just need to hope my luck doesn't run out.
28:27I mean, that was the skin of my teeth.
28:29You're in the final three, though.
28:30Somehow.
28:31That is fantastic.
28:32Well, who do you think is the one to beat today?
28:35I would say possibly Rav, but possibly Joe.
28:39Possibly Rav, but possibly Joe.
28:41That's...
28:42I mean, you interview politicians.
28:43That's a politician's answer.
28:45Choose one.
28:45I think Rav I find quite intimidating with his focus.
28:50Whereas I have this tendency, when I'm thinking,
28:52to just gurn and make gurning faces.
28:55It doesn't matter on the face you're making,
28:56it's the answers you're giving.
28:58That's all we care about here.
28:59That's true.
29:00Right, pairs round now.
29:02Tea time, but not too much time.
29:04That's a politician's answer now, isn't it?
29:06Yeah, there you go.
29:08Reverse superwoman, get those glasses on, please.

29:53Thank you, Luxme.

30:02Rav, you know they're sleighs, they're not skis.
30:05I saw you going like this.
30:07I saw you going.
30:08I didn't know what I was doing.
30:09I just thought it might move quicker.
30:11It didn't.
30:11But 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 is just so fast with all the answers.
30:18Okay.
30:19And obviously that's going to be so important on the race.
30:21Okay.
30:21All right.

31:41Can you believe that?
31:42Yeah, of course I can.
31:43I saw you do it.
31:43It was amazing.
31:44I'm a bit deaf in one ear.
31:46So when you said something about what you make out of...
31:48I thought it was road petals.
31:50What part of a rose do you use to make rose water?
31:53Joe's altar.
31:53Tarback.
31:55It's the best one, isn't it?
31:56It was the best one.
31:57But you still won.
31:58I'm still here.
31:59That's it.
31:59Who's the one to beat?
32:01Rev.
32:01I've known Rev for quite a while.
32:02Yeah.
32:03He's got so much world knowledge.
32:04You know he used to be a copper?
32:06Yes.
32:06Yeah.
32:06I tried to be a copper and I realised that...
32:09Imagine, like, come out with your hands up or you're having trouble.
32:12Right?
32:13Forget it.
32:13You're not coming out.
32:14Do you know what I mean?

32:5621 seconds to beat, Joe.
32:58Yep.
32:59You got your five correct in 24.7, which puts you right in the middle in lane two.

35:30Couldn't get it, you were still trying to...

36:19in motion instead.
