00:00Five players on five moving podiums,
00:05all hoping to race their way to £5,000.
00:10Just don't be last to The Finish Line.
00:26Hello and welcome to The Finish Line,
00:28the show where contestants literally race their podiums
00:30across the studio floor to try and win £5,000.
00:33Yep, on this show, it's all about speed,
00:36as our players only have about two and a half seconds
00:38to answer their questions, which luckily for me,
00:40it's about the length of my attention span.
00:44Where was I? Oh, yeah.
00:45It's time to meet someone who certainly has my full attention.
00:49Nothing compares to Sarah Green.
00:51Well, thank you.
00:53I'm trying to give another word for nothing compares.
00:56What would it be? Incomparable.
00:57Oh, that's the one.
00:58There you go.
00:59Well done.
01:00Ready to meet today's players?
01:01I am.
01:02OK.
01:03Today's players hoping to win big are Paddy,
01:06Yosha, Eric, Laura and Paul.
01:10All right, here we go before we start racing.
01:13We need to put our players in order with today's first qualifier.
01:15So, Sarah, how does it work?
01:17Qualifier one is the picture game.
01:19First, we'll show you a subject,
01:21then we'll reveal an image.
01:24So, to get this right, you'd answer unicycle.
01:27Get a five right and we'll stop the clock.
01:30Who's going to start in which lane?
01:32Let's find out.
01:33First up today, it's Paddy, a university lecturer from Dorset.
01:40Paddy, welcome to the finish line.
01:43It's pretty nice being inside the TV, right?
01:45Yeah, great.
01:46Paddy, you're living in Dorset.
01:48Yep.
01:49But obviously, you're not from Dorset.
01:50Yeah, I've got an accent there.
01:51I'm originally from Dublin.
01:52Yeah.
01:53I met my wife in Oxford.
01:54We went to university there and then we moved down to Dorset to be closer to family.
01:58We've got three boys living down there now.
02:00Fantastic.
02:01Having a nice time.
02:01Enjoying life?
02:01Yeah, having a nice time.
02:03Busy.
02:03Nice.
02:04What made you want to apply for the show, mate?
02:05Well, essentially, this is the result of a bet with my son.
02:08So, we wanted him to do a drama class because he's good at that stuff.
02:12And basically, he didn't want to do it because he's quite shy.
02:15So, I made a bet with him that if he did this, I'd sign up.
02:18Fantastic.
02:18So, he went to class, so I'm here.
02:20So, he's at the class now?
02:21Well, he went for long enough for the bet to be complied with.
02:26I like it, but well done.
02:27That's great, that's great.
02:28We've got a picture round up first.
02:30Have the kids helped you practice with this one?
02:32Yeah, you know, I mean, we've done questions on Travelators and things like that.
02:35That's a great idea.
02:36Yeah, good.
02:37Right, okay.
02:38Good luck, mate.
02:39Ready?

03:56Like recently, I managed to see a C-section surgery.
04:00That's the first time I ever saw a child being born,
04:02which was incredible.
04:04Although I've decided that surgery isn't for me,
04:07because I don't really know my left from my right.
04:09And so, I know.
04:11Yeah, I'd be worried.
04:13Okay, so what would you like to do in your spare time then, Yosha?
04:15Yeah, so in my spare time, I do aerial gymnastics,

14:37I think this is going to be a cheeky little race.
14:41Right.
14:41Let's get racing.
14:42How does it work?
14:42So, our players will be asked questions down the line, starting with lane one.
14:47Get an answer right, and their podium will start moving.
14:50But if they take too long to answer, pass, or get one wrong at any point, they'll immediately stop in
14:58their tracks.
14:59When players are close to the end of the track, their lanes will become supercharged to tell them they're in
15:04the end zone and approaching the finish line.
15:07The player who doesn't reach the finish line is out.
15:12It sounds so easy, doesn't it? Just don't come last.
15:16But please remember, this is a race, so you must answer within the time limit.

29:03Yeah, of course, yeah.
29:04I really enjoyed that and thought,
29:06one of these days, I'm going to have to do it solo.
29:09And I thought, this five grand,
29:10that would be enough to take me to Florida,
29:12pay for the skydiving lessons,
29:13so I could come back to qualified skydiver.
29:16That's my plan.
29:16That's the dream.

30:45Okay, all right, fine.
30:46Well, look, what would you spend £5,000 on?
30:48Yeah, so our home was damaged in a house fire.

32:16You're the one to beat.
32:17I'm the one to beat, apparently, yeah.
32:18What do you reckon about that?
32:20I think that's only going to end badly.
32:22No!
32:23You've got to bank yourself here.
32:25Who do you think is your biggest competition?
32:26Well, I mean, Eric is clearly a quizzer
32:28and knows his way around.
32:29He's very sharp, but Yosha seems to have the wind in her back,
32:32especially in these rounds.
32:33I'll just shade it to Eric, but they're both very strong.
32:37Well, look, five grand, as I mentioned to the guys,
32:39is what you could win today.
32:40What would you do with it?
32:41Well, we play a lot of games, board games,
32:43things like that as a family.

40:37But if Paddy gets caught, it's game over.
40:43Paddy, here we are.

40:59£5,000 right here waiting for you on the finish line.
41:03Do you know the advice I'm about to give you?
41:05Don't look back.
41:06Got it.
41:07Come on, Paddy, you've got this.
41:08We're all willing you're there, mate.
