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 their podiums across the studio floor to
00:31try and win £5,000.
00:33Now I know what you're thinking. We 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.
00:46That is so kind. I absolutely assure you, it's all vintage and sustainable, which is me as well.
00:55Very good. Ready to meet today's players? I am.
00:58OK. Today's players hoping to win big are Naomi, Matthew, John, Charlotte and Rohan.
01:06All right, here we go. Before we start racing, we need to put our players in order with today's first
01:11qualifier.
01:12So Sarah, how does it work?
01:13Qualifier one is the picture game. You'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.
01:27First up today, it's Naomi, a charity assistant manager from Plymouth.
01:35Naomi, welcome 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've watched it from the first show.
01:42I think I'm on my sixth run-through now of all the episodes.
01:45Oh, God!
01:46That's what we like to hear, isn't it?
01:48I think that is what we call a super fan.
01:50Yeah.
01:51Oh, fantastic. I'm getting the fun vibes from you, Naomi.
01:54I like the hair colour, everything. What do you like to get up to in your free time?
01:56I like karaoke. Yeah. I do a bit of belly dancing.
02:00Belly dancing? Really? 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 our room.
02:09You know it's tradition now. Yeah.
02:11Show me. What do I need to do?
02:12We'll start with something really easy. So this is a shimmy.
02:14So just feet slightly apart, legs kind of loose, belly in if you can.
02:18All right.
02:19Just a little shimmy like that.
02:21Whoa!
02:22Mine's here?
02:22A little shimmy.
02:23I feel like more my bum's going.
02:25I'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.
02:43Yes.
02:44How do you get on with this one?
02:45We'll give it a go.

03:50Is that the thing?
03:51Not really.
03:52I just like the shirt.
03:55So what brings you here today, Matthew?
03:57Well, I actually applied last year
03:58for the finish line.

04:14Yeah, it's spiraling out of control.
04:16I don't really have any room for new ones.
04:18They're just piling up.
04:20Well, actually, there's some under my bed
04:21because I don't have any other
04:22because the shelf is full.
04:24Do you know what?
04:24Whenever someone like yourself comes on the show
04:26and they're part of a quiz team

29:32Rohan.
29:33Final three, mate.
29:34It's a pleasure to be here.
29:35I can tell sometimes you're reaching in the back of your head and just pulling that knowledge forward.
29:38Is that right?
29:39Winston Churchill.
29:40Yes, call guessing.
29:41Oh, I don't know.
29:43I don't know.
29:44No, no, no.
29:45But they're very well-educated guessing.
29:46Well, look, 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.

30:09£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 because Charlotte was saying how she's going to help her dad and
30:15Spitfire and everything.
30:17I just want a pinball machine and a jukebox.
30:21Hey, look, it's your dream, man.
30:23You do what you want with it.
30:23I know why we seem so shallow.
30:25Well, look, we've got pairs round for you now.
30:27How are you feeling about this?
30:29Give it a go.

32:15It does happen like that.
32:17Completely.
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.
32:26The triangle of hate has been...
32:27Yeah, you've done it.
32:28...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.

37:28Matthew, you may love your board games,
37:30but I'm going to sink your battleship here.
37:34Right, here we go.
