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, the show where contestants literally race their podiums across the studio floor to
00:31try and win £5,000.
00:34Yep, these are our famous podiums.
00:36And no, I wasn't allowed to add the loop-to-loop track this series.
00:39Despite the detailed blueprints, I drew up on the back of a beer mat.
00:43What a waste of an evening.
00:44Now, let's say hello to my co-host, Scream if you want to go fast, and Sarah Green.
00:52Please keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times.
00:56Brace position.
00:57Okay, ready to meet today's players?
00:59I really am.
01:00Today's players hoping to win big are...
01:03ML, Kim, Sarah-J, Alan and Brogan.
01:09Okay, here we go.
01:10Before we start racing, we need to put our players in order with today's first qualifier.
01:14Sarah, how does it work?
01:15Qualifier one is the picture game.
01:17First, we'll show you a subject.
01:20Then, we'll reveal an image.
01:22So, to get this right, you'd answer ice lolly.
01:25Get five right, and we'll stop the clock.
01:28So, who's going to start in which lane?
01:30Let's find out.
01:31First up today, it's Amel, a design researcher from London.
01:38Welcome to the show.
01:40Who's cheering you on from home today?
01:41So, my boyfriend, Theo, mum, Angela, dad, Trevor, brothers, Claude and Miguel.
01:45Growing up with brothers, you've got to be tough.
01:47Yes.
01:48Was there a lot of wrestling going on?
01:50Not wrestling, but I did do taekwondo for many years.
01:53Of course you did, yeah.
01:54Yeah, I did taekwondo.
01:55Actually, on my first day of taekwondo, I met Dev Patel.
02:00Oh, wow.
02:00Of Slumdog Millionaire fame.
02:02Of course, yeah, wow.
02:03So, that's pretty cool.
02:04Still keep in touch, or no?
02:06I mean, he hasn't called in a while.
02:07I know he's a big fan of the show.
02:08He watches the show.
02:09He does, yeah.
02:10Amel's here.
02:11Dev, pick up the phone.
02:13Picture round today.
02:15That's up first.
02:16How are you feeling?
02:17A bit nervous, but we'll see how we go.
02:18I just need five correct answers from you as quickly as possible.
02:22You reckon you can do that?
02:22I'll try.
02:23Okay, here we go.
02:24Best of luck, Amel.
02:25Your time starts now.

02:59You didn't get the martial arts one.
03:01I know.
03:02Right?
03:02Which I think you're going to quite literally kick yourself.
03:06Sarah.
03:06So, one pass, one wrong.
03:09The martial arts pioneer, it was the great Bruce Lee.
03:13Of course it was.

03:46Oh, so sweet.
03:46Nice.
03:47I like that.
03:47I like that.
03:48Now, listen, talk to me because obviously drag queens love it.
03:51Yep.
03:52I've never come across a drag king.
03:54Ah.
03:54Welcome to your introduction to the world of drag kings, Roman.
03:57So, if you know what a drag queen is, that helps because a drag king does everything that a drag
04:01queen does,
04:02but in more comfortable shoes.
04:03So, we're generally going to do it.
04:06Love that.
04:07Right.
04:07Well, look, we've got a picture round for you now.
04:09Yeah.
04:10Okay.
04:10So, five correct answers, please.

05:10Sarah, what else was in there?
05:11Yeah.
05:11Three passes, two wrong.
05:13Let's go through them.

05:18Oh.
05:19U.S. ranch profession.

06:44Yeah.
06:45Have you ever been on a cruise, Sarah?
06:47No.

06:52Have you?
06:53It goes off.
06:54Okay.
06:55Sarah Jane, I'm viewing you as a whole different person now.

13:53their lanes will become supercharged
13:55to tell them they're in the end zone
13:57and approaching the finish line.

27:23oh dear, I'm in trouble.
27:25Well, look, £5,000 is the prize money today.
27:28What would you do with that money?
27:30I'm very privileged working as a drag king to work with a lot of other incredibly creative people.
27:34We all have our own talents.
27:36Costuming is not one of mine.
27:37So I would love to be paying that forward and get some more amazing costumes for all the ideas that
27:43are buzzing around in my head.
27:44That dream sounds fantastic.

34:33Sarah-Jane, I'm so sorry.
34:35Oh, well.
34:36I'll just have to keep travelling.
34:38Yeah.
34:39Your journey has stopped here, but Sarah, what did you make of it?
34:42Sarah-Jane, at least you went out with a big bang.
34:46It's been wonderful having you.
34:47Let's hear it for Sarah-Jane, everyone.
34:51But here we are, Kim and Amel, congratulations.
34:54You're through to the head-to-head, and you're now just one step away
34:58from playing for £5,000.
35:00But to get that chance, you're going to need to stop your opponents
35:02right here in their tracks.
35:05Sarah, we'll tell you how it works.
35:06In the head-to-head, you're on the buzzer.
35:09A correct answer makes you move and your opponents stop.
35:13But beware, if you buzz in and give a wrong answer,
35:17you'll stop moving and set your opponent in motion instead.
35:21The first one of you to reach the finish line
35:24goes through to the final,
35:25for a chance to play for £5,000.
35:30So, Kim and Amel, it all comes down to this.
35:35Kim, you want to upgrade your drag wardrobe,
35:39and Amel, you want to open a food truck.
35:42Thought of another name for you.

35:51But look, only one of you can achieve your dream.
35:55Kim, any final words for your opponent?
35:57Amel, I know you want to be the queen of food trucks,
36:00but today, this king is here to pie you off.
36:04Amel, what's your response?
36:05Well, Kim, I know you might be a drag king,
36:07but this is one drag race you're not going to win.
