00:005 players on 5 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
00:30podiums across the studio floor to try and win £5,000.
00:34Yes, this is the quiz show that literally rewards progress.
00:37And with me today, as always, she's the salt of the earth.
00:40If you buy that pink Himalayan salt for a tenner from the posh supermarkets, that is, it's
00:45Sarah Green.
00:46Thank you, darling.
00:47And I never would, by the way.
00:49Yeah.
00:49Never would.
00:50No, no.
00:51Ready to meet today's players?
00:52Oh, yes.
00:53OK.
00:53Today's players hoping to win big are Sophia, Graham, Mandy, Dylan and Paula.
01:02OK, here we go.
01:03Before we start racing, we need to put our players in order with today's first qualifier.
01:07Sarah, how does it work?
01:08Our first qualifier is the picture game.
01:11You'll see the subject, then the picture.
01:13So, of course, the answer here would be Venice.
01:17Get five right and we'll stop the clock.
01:19So, who's going to start in which lane?
01:22Let's find out.
01:22First up today, it's Sophia, a personal trainer and therapist from Glasgow.
01:30Sophia.
01:30Hello.
01:31Welcome to the finish line.
01:33You feeling all right?
01:34Yeah, I'm feeling pumped up, ready to go.
01:36Tell me, who's watching from home?
01:38My six siblings.
01:39Aisha, Saida, Feso, Nadia, Yasuin and Alina.
01:43And my cat, Tigger.
01:44Brilliant.
01:45Oh, good to have a big wave.
01:46Hello, hello, hello.
01:48So, go on then.
01:48You're a personal trainer.
01:50What do you like to do when you're not working?
01:51I like to do jiu-jitsu, so I'm a really big fan of Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
01:55My passion is sneak attacks on my family, so I'm always like, don't show you back to me.
01:59Because, yeah, I really love it.
02:01It's a shame none of my family actually do jiu-jitsu, so they don't know how to defend themselves.
02:05So, I know it's a bit unfair.
02:06So, imagine you sort of keep running up towards them and they just go, well, I, you know.
02:11No, my sister sees my face and she can see the change if I'm going for a choke and she's
02:14like, don't come near me.
02:16Well, Sophia, on this show, brains beat brawl.
02:20So, this first round, pictures, how do you normally get on?
02:23We'll see.
02:24This is not my strong suit.
02:25I'm more physically competitive, but we'll see what happens.
02:28I'm here to have a laugh.
02:29This isn't too serious for me.

03:34But it was like you were trying to have a conversation during it.
03:37Yeah.
03:37Like, you were going, oh, no, actually.
03:39And then I was already saying the next one.

04:35How are you feeling?
04:35Thank you.
04:36Uncomfortably excited, let's put it that way.
04:38Uncomfortably excited.
04:39That's pretty much me every day.
04:42You work in sales, but what do you get up to in your free time?
04:45I'm a big music fan.
04:46I've got a very, very eclectic taste in music.
04:49Like, my playlist goes from Susan Boyle straight away to Eminem.
04:53But my idol has to be Robbie Williams.
04:55He's just brilliant.
04:56Ultimate showman and massive fan.
04:58Are you, like, a tattooed Robbie Williams fan?
05:01Not quite there yet.
05:03Tattoos, to be fair, try and avoid them.
05:05I had one and fainted halfway through, so that was the last time I had.
05:09What, on the chair?
05:10Yeah, I was trying to get my Zodiac sign, the Taurus ball.
05:14Right.
05:15It ended up looking like a bit of an upside-down chicken carcass.
05:18Right.
05:19Hopefully he didn't start with the back.
05:21He started with the front.
05:22I went back and finished it.
05:24All right, well, look, massive Robbie Williams fan.
05:26Surely that's what you're hoping comes up in the pictures, right?
05:28Yeah, yeah, pretty much.

06:52Ready.
06:53Ready and raring to go.
06:54Who is cheering you on from home?
06:56I've got my husband, Dave, and our little dog, Mila.
06:59And I've got two sons who both work in entertainment.
07:02So one of them, Anthony, works on the cruise ship.
07:05Okay.
07:05So he's away for seven months a year.
07:07Fantastic.

11:06Well, when I met my boyfriend Kyle on a date nap, part of my profile, I had said, on my
11:11bucket list was to be on a quiz show.
11:13I was being brave and thought, I'll say that to sound interesting, thinking I'll not actually have to do this.
11:18And then he kept reminding me of it.
11:20So, I was like, yeah.
11:21I put my body where my mouth is.
11:23That is fantastic.

13:13But if they take too long to answer,
13:16pass,
13:17or get one wrong at any point,
13:19they'll immediately stop in their tracks.
13:21When players are close to the end of the track,
13:24their lanes will become supercharged
13:26to tell them they're in the end zone
13:28and approaching the finish line.
13:30The player who doesn't reach the finish line
13:32is out.
13:35So, there you go.
13:36It's as easy as that.
13:38Just don't come last.
13:39Remember, this is a race,
13:40so you must answer within the time limit.

26:48Final three, that's tough.
26:50I know, yes.
26:51Let's talk competition.
26:53OK.
26:53Who is the one to beat?
26:55Now, I would have said Paula, but Graham is fast.
26:58He is fast.

27:01But imagine you won the entire show.
27:04OK.
27:04You've got £5,000 in your bank account.
27:06What are you doing with it?
27:07And Dave and I both turned 50 in lockdown.

27:18So, yeah.
27:19Oh, wouldn't that be great?
27:20We won't tell him.

27:22Yeah, that'd be fun.
27:23I think that's a fantastic way to spend the money.
27:25OK, well, look, we've got a pairs round.
27:26This is my worst one.
27:28Take your time.
27:28OK.

27:34Your time starts now.

28:25Fleetwood Mac made me laugh.
28:27Fleetwood Mac.
28:27I read them all and I thought, no, it can't be Fleetwood Mac.
28:30And then read the others and thought, oh, they're all over.
28:33Not a clue.
28:35So, just two wrong.
28:37The Game of Thrones houses, Stark and Targaryen.
28:41OK.
28:41And the Austrian Archduke, France and Ferdinand.
28:45OK.
28:45You're up first.
28:46You're laying down the marker here.
28:48You've got your five correct in 44.7 seconds.
28:52Oh, gosh.

29:00Next up, it's Graham.

29:07Yeah.
29:08Come on.
29:08Buzz them.
29:09Really buzzing.
29:10That's really good.
29:11Well, who is the one to beat in your eyes?
29:14I think they've both got good qualities.
29:16I think Mandy's got the experience.
29:18But I think Paula, she's got like a real calm and presence about her.
29:22So, I think she might be a bit of a dark horse.
29:24So, you're going with Paula?
29:24Yeah.
29:25Right.
29:26Well, what would you spend £5,000 on?
29:29So, we've done our garden up partially, but I have an idea of what I want the garden to look
29:35like with a nice pergola.
29:37Right.
29:38Because the last time I tried to put a pergola, we bought a gazebo, woke up the next day, and
29:42it was in next door's garden.
29:43Right.
29:44So, I'd get somebody in to do it.
29:46I'd use it for that.
29:47So, we love barbecuing, we love socialising, having people around, so we'd love our sort of safe space for the
29:51family.
29:52It's like an outdoor kitchen type vibe.
29:53Pretty much, yeah.
29:54That would be fantastic.
29:55That stays in the garden.

31:26Sometimes that pressure, though, can make you rain fog.
31:29You know?
31:29Who do you think is the one to beat?
31:31I think Graeme is fast.
31:33He was very fast in the last challenge.
31:35So maybe Graeme.
31:36You versus Graeme in the head-to-head might be tough.
31:38Yeah.
31:38That's what you think.
31:38Yeah.
31:39Well, £5,000 is what you could win today.
31:41What would you do with the money?
31:42I think I would put it towards a new car.
31:45Yeah, I've been doing a lot of miles, so it needs a change.
31:47Needs a change.
31:48Yeah.
31:49Yeah.
31:49Okay.
31:49Pairs round.
31:50Yes.
