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.
00:33Yes, one of today's players could end up with money to burn.
00:36And I mean that literally because these podiums do tend to spontaneously combust.
00:40And here to man the fire extinguishers is our very own firewoman, Sam. Give it up for Miss Sarah Green.
00:47I'm the honour to be Roman. I'm actually just sat here waiting for the firemen.
00:51Oh, I presume so. Ready to meet today's players? Yes.
00:54OK. Today's players hoping to win big are...
01:01OK, here we go. Before we start racing, we need to put our players in order with today's first qualifier.
01:09So, Sarah, how does it work?
01:10Our first qualifier is the picture game. You'll see the subject, then the picture. So, of course, the answer here
01:17would be phone box.
01:19We'll stop the clock when you get five right.
01:21So, who's going to start in which lane? Let's find out. First up today, it's Richard, a retired firefighter from
01:27Milton Keynes.
01:28There you go.
01:30There you go.
01:30I like the reference.
01:31There.
01:32Sarah's wish has come true.
01:35It has.
01:35It has.
01:35You asked for a firefighter, here he is.
01:37Any time you like, I'll give you a farmer's lift, don't worry.
01:39Oh.
01:40Oh, wow.
01:41OK.
01:42Now, you're a retired firefighter, Richard. Tell us all about it.
01:45Yeah, for 30 years, worked in London and worked in Milton Keynes.
01:49Oh, yeah.
01:49And what type of firefighter were you? Always on the ball?
01:51Not all the time, no.
01:52OK.
01:54No, I hadn't been in the job that long.
01:56Yeah.
01:57And we got called out to somebody who'd locked themselves out of a terraced apartment.
02:01Oh, right. OK.
02:01And so, me being the new boy, I was sent up the ladder, climbed through, noticed two men on a
02:07sofa, wearing bathrobes.
02:10And I looked at them, they looked at me, went, I don't think I'm in the right apartment here.
02:15You made their day, didn't you?
02:16Yeah, I was going to say.
02:18Brilliant.
02:19Well, we've got a picture round up first for you, Richard.

12:54What do they need to know?
12:55Our players will be asked questions down the line starting with lane one.
12:59Get an answer right and their podium will start moving.
13:02But if they take too long to answer, pass or get one wrong at any point, they'll immediately stop in
13:09their tracks.
13:10When players are close to the end of the track, their lanes will become supercharged to tell them they're in
13:16the end zone and approaching the finish line.
13:19The player who doesn't reach the finish line is out.
13:24See, it's as easy as that.
13:27Just don't come last.
13:28Remember, this is a race, so you must answer within the time limit.

36:20But Wayne and Maude, congratulations.
36:23You're through to the head-to-head.
36:24Sarah's going to say how it works.
36:25You're on the buzzer in the head-to-head.
36:28A correct answer makes you move and your opponents stop.
36:32But beware, if you buzz in and give a wrong answer, you'll stop moving and set your opponent in motion
36:39instead.
36:40The first one of you to reach the finish line goes through to the final for a chance to play
36:46for £5,000.

37:13Pigs might fly.
37:16Wayne, anything to say to that?
37:18I do, yeah.
