00:00Five famous faces on five festive sleighs, all hoping to win their chosen charity £5,000.
00:09Just don't be lost to the festive finish line.
00:25Hello, ho, ho, and welcome to the festive finish line, the show where celebrities literally race their sleighs across the
00:31studio floor to try and win their chosen charity £5,000.
00:35Think of this as the usual finish line that you know and love, but with bells on, quite literally.
00:40Now, Santa might be on his way soon, but all that's being delivered here today is some high-octane celebrity
00:46quizzing.
00:47And to add to the festive cheer, here is my co-ho-ho-ho host, it's the sparkling Sarah Green.
00:54Thank you, Roman, my little snowball.
00:56Thank you very much. Ready to meet today's famous faces?
00:59Yes, yes, absolutely.
01:00Today's celebrity players hoping to win big for their charities are...
01:14All right, here we go. Before we start racing, we need to put our celebrities in order with today's first
01:19qualifier.
01:20So, Sarah, how does it work?
01:22Qualifier one is the picture game.
01:24First, we'll show you a subject, then we'll reveal an image.
01:28So, to get this right, you'd answer nutcracker.
01:32Get five right and we'll stop the clock.
01:34So, who's going to start in which lane? Let's find out. First up today, this guy doesn't sled, he slays.
01:40He's more cha-cha-cha than ho-ho-ho. He's trod more boards than a pantomime dame.
01:45It's actor Leighton Williams.
01:47Woo!
01:49Welcome.
01:50Thank you. Hello, hello.
01:51Leighton, you've got the sparkling.
01:53You know, it's Christmas.
01:54Yeah, kind of grinchy. This is kind of like...
01:57Is this weird?
01:57It is, look, weird.
01:58It's furry.
01:59Make this green. Half a Leighton.
02:00To be fair, these shoes are grinchy.
02:03They're like his actual feet.
02:04Wow.
02:05Yeah, fair.
02:06Leighton, tell me, how's your year been?
02:08Been busy, but good.
02:09I've wrapped on an amazing show called Geek Girl, so that's done.
02:12You won an award, though.
02:13I know.
02:14Yeah, we've got a picture of that. Let's take a look.
02:15Tell us about the award.
02:16An Olivier Award for playing an iceberg.
02:19Congratulations.
02:23What about quizzing?
02:24Listen, I don't know why I say yes to these things, no offense, because I'm actually awful.
02:28I'm here for the lol.
02:29I'm here for a good time, not a long time.
02:31I'm just going to do what I'm going to do.
02:32We'll see.
02:33What charity are you playing for today?
02:34I am playing for Acting for Others.
02:36I'm an ambassador for them, and they help people that work in the performing industry
02:39when they fall on hard times.
02:41Brilliant. That's wonderful.
02:43Okay, well, Leighton, picture round up first.

03:48I'm just so surprised.
03:49Yeah, like, look, I did it.
03:50Yeah, I know.
03:51Sarah?
03:52Four passes.
03:53No wrong answers.

06:52Hoping to avoid the commentator's curse,
06:54it's football pundit Mark Pugat.

12:46Sarah, how does it work?
12:48Our celebrity players will be asked questions down the line, starting with lane one.
12:52Get an answer right and their sleighs will start moving.
12:56But if they take too long to answer, pass or get one wrong at any point, they'll immediately stop in
13:02their tracks.
13:02When our celebrities are close to the end of the track, their lanes will become supercharged to tell them they're
13:09in the end zone and approaching the festive finish line.
13:12The celebrity who doesn't reach the festive finish line is out.
13:18See, there's nothing to worry about. It's as easy as that.
13:21Just don't come last or you're off the show.
13:23Okay.
13:24Remember, guys, this is a race, so you must answer within the time limit.
13:29Now, Mark, you qualified fastest, so that means the first question is yours.
