39:39Wow!
39:43Louisa, you really did blur him away, I'll tell you that.
39:46Niall.
39:47What happened?
39:48Shouting out things are coming to my head when I maybe settle a wee bit.
39:51Sarah, what did you make of it?
39:52Oh, Niall.
39:53I'm thinking of Bob Marley, you know, no woman, no cry.
39:56Certainly no cry for Louisa, but we are very sorry to see you go.
40:00Let's hear it for Niall.
40:01Let's hear it for Niall.
40:04Louisa, you've done it.
40:06You are today's winner and you are going to be playing for £5,000.
40:10Listen very carefully to Sarah Green.
40:12To win that £5,000, all Louisa has to do is to make it to the finish line one final
40:18time.
40:19But there's a twist, because she'll be racing against the track itself.
40:24Louisa will face a series of quick-fire questions.
40:27She must get them right to keep moving.
40:29A wrong answer will stop her in her tracks.
40:32She has to stay ahead of the red to win the cash.
40:37But if Louisa gets caught, it's game over.
40:43So Louisa, here we are, your final race.
40:47You want to take your daughter to that dream trip to go and see the Northern Lights.
40:51You have done so brilliantly to make it this far today.
40:55Let's see if you can go the distance.
40:58Now, listen carefully.
40:59The track will start moving when I finish reading the first question.
41:03£5,000, that trip for you and your daughter right here waiting for you on the finish line.
41:08One bit of advice, you know what it is?
41:10Don't look back.
