00:01This is mad.
00:02At a time where young and old have never been further apart...
00:06I'm going the wrong way.
00:07..six young Brits who have never travelled alone before...
00:10This is nothing like Wales.
00:12..have been paired up with six pensioners
00:14who thought they would never travel again...
00:16You're my teammate!
00:17..to embark on an epic treasure hunt across Japan.
00:21Oh, yes!
00:22Bloody hell, this is going to be hard.
00:24..in a social experiment to challenge assumptions...
00:28..and prove that age is just a number...
00:31She's a bit too old.
00:32I beg your pardon!
00:33..they will need to work together as one.
00:36Colin, you're amazing!
00:38..so far, six teams across two generations
00:40have been on a life-affirming journey.
00:43Ooh!
00:44He found a secret door!
00:46..combining their experience...
00:48What the...?
00:49..and embracing their age gap...
00:50You're right, it's just like riding a bike.
00:52..they've navigated challenges across the country.
00:55Oh!
00:56Never quite seen anything like it.
00:57Now, three teams remain to face two final challenges...
01:02..testing how much they've learned about each other...
01:04..and their time in Japan.
01:06The games are just getting harder and harder.
01:09It's do or die easy, yeah.
01:10..but only one will win the competition...
01:13..and share a £50,000 cash prize.
01:16Smart. Smart. To be honest.
01:27..Hokkaido.
01:29Japan's northernmost island...
01:30..and a world away from the bustling cities they've visited so far.
01:35Are you feeling nervous?
01:36Well, I am. I mean...
01:38..we've got to do well, this one.
01:40I'm not ready to go home.
01:41Yeah.
01:41Oh, no.
01:42Oh, me.
01:43Steaked in nature and ancient traditions,
01:45it's the last stop on the journey for three remaining teams.
01:49I'm saying there's only two other teams left apart from us.
01:52I know.
01:53So we have to make the most of the time that we do have.
01:55For sure.
01:57It's been absolutely lovely seeing all these places in Japan.
02:01Yeah, no, for sure.
02:01But for me, the nicest part has been getting to know you.
02:07The winners of the life-changing prize
02:09will be the pair who've bridged their age gap
02:11and worked together the best.
02:13I can smell it.
02:14I can smell the £50,000.
02:18I don't have savings, really, at all.
02:19So, like, yeah, in terms of, like, winning something like this,
02:22it would be completely life-changing.
02:24Following clues,
02:26they'll need to hunt down their tasks
02:27to win a possible five coins.
02:30Find the onsen speech.
02:32All along, I've wanted to win for Katie's sake.
02:37So I've just got to do my best for her.
02:39Every decision the team-mates make will be crucial,
02:42as the pair with the least amount of coins
02:44at the end of their next challenge
02:46will leave the competition,
02:47leaving just two teams to face the final challenge.
02:52There is a lot of pressure on this game.
02:55I just hope that today is not the end of our journey.
03:01I don't know what we're doing here.
03:03Where are we?
03:04I don't know. We're in a jungle, I think.
03:06I'm a bit worried about what's going to jump out of these bushes.
03:09Yeah, me too.
03:10One couple determined to remain in the running
03:13is 73-year-old Colin and 25-year-old Charlotte.
03:18Oh, it's buzzing.
03:19Welcome to Setolsey,
03:21where you would take a canoe down the river.
03:23Hmm.
03:25Have you seen any river?
03:26We must be in the right place.
03:27Yeah, we have to.
03:28Let's go and have a look.
03:29So far in the competition,
03:31Charlotte's relied on her senior teammates' memory
03:33and life experience to carry them through to the final.
03:37Right, Carl, I can see canoes.
03:40Colin is so wise.
03:42Like, honestly,
03:42because I thought 60-plus was ancient
03:45and I thought they couldn't do too much.
03:47That's very ignorant of me
03:48because he's just opened my mind massively.
03:51Can you see our pin?
03:52I don't think I would have made it as far
03:54if it was just me.
03:57You want me to go in the front?
03:58Yes.
03:59You sure?
04:00Yeah.
04:01This could be a disaster.
04:06Oh, am I supposed to be paddling?
04:07Yes.
04:07I feel like you guys are doing all the work.
04:09Yeah.
04:13Oh.
04:14It's a deer.
04:15Oh, a deer!
04:16A fluffy bum.
04:18I'll just miss this experience so much.
04:20It's just opened my mind massively.
04:22I was so scared to do solo travelling
04:24but I've learnt so much from Colin
04:26that I think he's given me the confidence to do that
04:29because he is so adventurous.
04:31Well, this is nice, isn't it?
04:33I'm in a wonderful place
04:35seeing things that I'd never have done before.
04:38Every day has just been a dream.
04:40When I was a kid, I lived near a lake
04:43and we used to hire canoes.
04:45Did you?
04:45And I'd go out and spend the day in a canoe.
04:47Oh, my gosh.
04:48I'm talking, what, 60 years ago
04:50and I haven't done it since
04:52but this just brings it all back to me.
04:54But in 60 years ago, you went on that bike, remember?
04:56And then that came back to you in the first.
04:58Yeah, same thing.
04:59Yeah.
05:00I've always taken chances
05:01and grabbed opportunities
05:03and I'm not going to stop.
05:04I think age is just something
05:06that you feel that you are.
05:10I got a message.
05:12Go to Jozanki.
05:14Get ready for a...
05:15Rendezvous.
05:16Yep.
05:17With a woman by the riverside.
05:18What the hell?
05:19Let's go to Jozanki.
05:21Yeah, let's go to Jozanki.
05:2448 kilometres away,
05:2668-year-old Rosie and 24-year-old Lawrence
05:29have also been embracing their time together in Japan.
05:34Oh.
05:35From the beginning in Tokyo to here,
05:37myself and Rosie are great at communicating.
05:39We get along really well, you know.
05:41There's something fishy on.
05:43Claw your way to Kitano Gurume to meet the king of crabs.
05:48Oh.
05:49Most of my preconceptions about young people
05:52was to do with them not taking in their surroundings.
05:56But Lawrence is not really like that.
05:59He's like a sponge.
06:01He just wants all the knowledge we can learn.
06:04He just wants to soak it all up.
06:07There's crabs everywhere.
06:09Oh, it really stinks.
06:11Oh, they have them live there as well, man.
06:14Oh, no, look.
06:14They've got them in their hands.
06:17Look, look, look, look, look, look.
06:19It's moving, it's moving, it's moving, it's moving,
06:20it's moving, it's moving, it's moving.
06:21Oh, my God.
06:25After following their clue,
06:27the duo have tracked down their challenge location
06:29to the city's famous crab market.
06:32Where is it?
06:33Seen something?
06:34I found the...
06:35Oh, well spotted.
06:36The team-mates will have to pay attention
06:38to everything they're being shown.
06:40Would you like to know what kind they are?
06:42Yes, please, yes.
06:44As they will be tested
06:45on the vast array of seafood for sale.
06:48This is the hairy crab,
06:49known for the delicious crab gut.
06:53The crab gut.
06:54Good.
06:55I adore crab.
06:57I would say it's one of my favourite things to eat.
06:59So this is 100 grams, 2,000 yen.
07:02Hairy crab is the most expensive.
07:05Oh, man.
07:07This is the short-haired sea urchin.
07:10It's very tasty.
07:11And very expensive.
07:12Yes.
07:13Oh, 9,000 yen is for 100 grams.
07:15Yes.
07:16Yes.
07:17Wow.
07:18I do know that Lawrence is not keen on seafood
07:21and when I said I like crab,
07:23the look on his face was utter disgust.
07:26So this is the king crab.
07:2818,000 per kilo.
07:30Please hold around the legs.
07:34Wow.
07:35It's huge.
07:37Look at this one's eyes.
07:40He's eyeballing you.
07:43Rosie really likes crab,
07:44so if it's something we have to eat,
07:45I will try crab,
07:46but obviously, you know,
07:47at the same time, it's crab.
07:49Oh, man.
07:50Yeah, I really don't like crab.
07:56Excuse me, sir.
07:57I don't suppose you know where an onsen is.
07:59Onsen?
08:00What?
08:01Onsen's beach.
08:02Onsen.
08:03So, onsen beach.
08:04Maybe you can go here.
08:07Okay.
08:07Arigato gozaimasu.
08:10Oh, it's beautiful.
08:12Beautiful.
08:13I'm not going to forget this.
08:15Pin.
08:16Have you spotted that?
08:18You're all right.
08:19Having hunted down their clue,
08:2080-year-old Barbara and 21-year-old Katie
08:24have tracked down their challenge location
08:26to one of Hokkaido's ancient hot springs,
08:29known as an onsen.
08:30It's supposed to be so relaxing,
08:34good for the skin.
08:36As well as being pampered,
08:37the teammates will need to pay attention
08:39to the strict rules and etiquette
08:41that have been observed for over 1,000 years.
08:44This is the changing room, dark blue.
08:48That's for men.
08:48Red-coloured one is for women.
08:51As they will be tested on their
08:52immersive experience later.
08:55No swimming, jumping or diving in the water.
09:01Traditionally, men and women bath are separate.
09:04Okay.
09:05The whole point of going to onsen is just getting relaxed.
09:09The pair have been allowed to wear swimsuits
09:12to experience this ritual treatment,
09:14but visitors to the onsen are usually required
09:17to bathe naked.
09:19Have you done under your arms?
09:20I can smell you from here.
09:21What did you say?
09:23I can smell you from here.
09:25I'm going to kill you.
09:28Honestly.
09:29I think the relationship definitely is like,
09:31we are besties.
09:32And she has kind of filled in those little pieces
09:35that fell out when my nan passed away.
09:39I don't think I could do this with other people my age
09:42in the ocean like I knew them.
09:45I can feel quite comfortable doing it with you.
09:49So this is outside bath onsen.
09:52And this volcanic water is especially good for your black circulation.
09:57Right, be careful.
09:58It's like a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit.
09:58It's like that.
09:58Oaky doaky doaky.
10:01I reckon if I didn't have you as a partner, I probably wouldn't have got so far.
10:06Oh, you would, Katie.
10:07Like, if you are.
10:08I wouldn't have got so far without you, believe me.
10:11No, we're very much similar.
10:13We are.
10:13And I think we've got each other through this.
10:14Yes.
10:16I feel like every day with Barbara is a life lesson.
10:19So I'm kind of learning each day what I am capable of.
10:22And Barbara's kind of taught me that I can be confident.
10:24And not confident for other people, but confident for myself.
10:28And this trip is quite honestly, it's a godsend for you.
10:33It's just going to broaden your horizons.
10:36I'm convinced of that.
10:38I am.
10:49Oh, this is beautiful.
10:51Having followed their clue down river,
10:53Colin and Charlotte have finally tracked down the Jozanki forest.
10:57An area deeply connected with Hokkaido's indigenous Ainu people,
11:02who would traditionally use certain plants to help heal the body.
11:05Amazing!
11:06We love nature, don't we, Carl?
11:07We do, yes.
11:09Just like the other two teams,
11:11they'll have to absorb everything they see and hear in their foraging lesson
11:14before being tested on which plants can be used for certain conditions later.
11:20It's a memory game.
11:21But we're good at those, aren't we?
11:23Yeah.
11:23Yeah, definitely.
11:25Is this an Oya?
11:25Noya.
11:26Noya.
11:27If you have a battery, we use this.
11:29Hussos.
11:30Hussos.
11:32This is Erumokina.
11:33Very good for the Hangover too.
11:35Good for Hangover.
11:36Amazing.
11:37Your reputation has preceded you.
11:38I know.
11:42Long time ago, people used to have like a tapeworms problem.
11:46Really?
11:48Constipation.
11:49Constipation.
11:50Amazing.
11:51This is Shukina.
11:53This is Shukina.
11:53Oh, it's a little bit sweet.
11:54Oh, yes it is!
11:57Find and identify the plants which match the descriptions.
12:03For each correctly found and matched plant, you will receive a coin.
12:07Right.
12:07We're going to have to retrace our steps, aren't we?
12:10I think we are.
12:11Go back to locations.
12:12It'll re-jog our memories.
12:14Yeah.
12:16I thought the first one was very small leaves like this, but I don't know.
12:22They just look the same, don't they?
12:24That's just so hard about it.
12:27I'm not feeling too confident about this one.
12:30No.
12:30It was that the Hangover one was.
12:32Oh, see, that one might not be it then.
12:34No.
12:36Have you noticed this is stressful for us because we're not cracking jokes?
12:40We want to be here and we've loved every minute of it and every stage and we want to keep
12:45going.
12:46Erm, I don't know.
12:55Back at the onsen, Barbara and Katie are about to be tested on their immersive hot spring experience.
13:01Okey-doke.
13:02In order to win coins, they'll need to try and recall which facts about the onsen are true and which
13:08are false.
13:11Red curtains indicate women's changing rooms.
13:17I think that's true.
13:18Yeah, I think that's true.
13:19Yes!
13:20Yes!
13:22Goodbye!
13:23I do look up to Barbara.
13:25She's living her life to her fullest and she isn't taking it for granted and that's how I want to
13:30be.
13:31Onsens help with blood circulation.
13:34Yes!
13:34Oh, God bless you!
13:36Yes!
13:37I'm definitely going to try and keep up the contact.
13:40Like, she is family now.
13:41Shake hands with fellow onsen visitors when in the water.
13:46Yeah.
13:46I have not heard anything about shaking her hands.
13:48I feel like that would have been something that earth would have come up.
13:51I'm not going to lie.
13:54How are you feeling on that one?
14:00Difficult to say because you and I, there was only you and I in there.
14:04Yeah, but then...
14:05We're both two visitors, aren't we?
14:07Yeah.
14:07So wouldn't we have to get in there and shake hands?
14:11Can we lock in false for this one?
14:12False!
14:13Let's be having you!
14:14Yeah.
14:15Yeah.
14:16Men and women can only share an onsen at dusk.
14:21I think this one is false.
14:23False.
14:24Another one.
14:27Oh, my relationship with Katie has been incredible.
14:31She has proved, and I hope I've proved to her, that young generation, old generation, they
14:40can have a bond.
14:42No doubt about it.
14:43Oh, my God.
14:45Is it illegal to fart underwater in an onsen?
14:50Do you think it's illegal?
14:52Like, it might be wrong, but I don't know whether it's illegal.
14:57Well, how would they know?
15:01They've got to prove you farted underwater.
15:04It wouldn't stand off in court.
15:10Oh, my God, I can't pull.
15:12So lock in false.
15:14Lock in false.
15:15Come on.
15:19I've never felt so happy in my life!
15:25To get five is just fantastic.
15:29I'm nervous that someone else might have got five, but I am excited to see whether we
15:36shall be in the final.
15:39Back in Chuo, after soaking up the crab market...
15:42So this is 100 grams, 2,000 yen.
15:45Hairy crab is the most expensive.
15:48Rosie and Lawrence now have to put their new seafood knowledge to the test.
15:53How are you feeling?
15:55Not good.
15:57To have a chance of making it through to the final, they'll need to identify five types
16:02of seafood they saw in the market and match them to the correct price point.
16:07I'll try one, maybe.
16:11The crab is delicious, honestly.
16:13It's your favourite, isn't it?
16:14You were saying about this the other day.
16:16I'm a mum and a grandma.
16:17I've always encouraged all my family to try new things.
16:21You must try this.
16:23And I just say to them, try it once.
16:25If you don't like it, that's fine.
16:26But don't say you don't like it without trying it.
16:30Oh, I don't even want to do it.
16:32It's delicious.
16:33Oh, it's chewing.
16:38There's a lot of pressure on, kind of, the games itself and, like, I didn't want to let Rosie
16:42down, you know?
16:43So I had to put myself into it to try it.
16:46What about the octopus?
16:51No.
16:52You don't like that one.
16:54It tastes like rubber.
16:55What do you think about this one?
16:57You want to try this one?
16:58No, definitely not.
16:59I can't try that, Rosie.
17:01It looks like a slug.
17:03Just stick it in your mouth and give it a go.
17:09I can't, I've never had something so horrid in my mouth.
17:16Having tasted the seafood, the duo now need to rank the octopus, hairy crab, sea urchin,
17:23king crab and whelk in order of price.
17:26Tell me your thoughts.
17:28I think that this one is the 42.
17:31I'm, like, fairly confident on this one being there.
17:35And then I think the 9,000 would go for the king crab because it was expensive but not
17:42quite as expensive as the hairy crab.
17:44Shall we put them in place and then we can move them around so we can have a visual?
17:48So you said 10 here, wasn't it?
17:50Yes.
17:51The hairy crab was the most expensive of the three crabs.
17:549,000.
17:55Discuss it.
17:56The king.
17:58And these whelks, they were quite cheap.
18:00So if you've got any better ideas, let me know.
18:04The whelks and the octopus, I'm not sure if it's the other way around.
18:08I went with my gut the first time and I don't know if it's the other way around.
18:13Rosie had doubts.
18:14I had doubts, you know?
18:16I don't think these were 42,000.
18:20I didn't want to say something and we get it wrong and be the cause of, like, us going
18:23home, you know?
18:24I'm fairly confident about three and I'm just being a thingy but then I think that's
18:29good.
18:29And obviously Rosie the same.
18:31If you're confident, I'm happy to go with this.
18:33I'm not confident.
18:34I did want to switch the two outside to the opposite.
18:40And then I remembered that I'd suggested that before and we were wrong.
18:44Should we lock in?
18:45Yes, let's lock in.
18:58In Hokkaido, Japan's northern frontier, three remaining teams are battling it out to win
19:0450,000 pounds.
19:05This boat enter.
19:07People used to have a bit of tapeworms problem.
19:09The couple with the least amount of coins at the end of this challenge will be eliminated
19:14from the competition.
19:15So everything now rests on the outcome of Lawrence and Rosie's seafood task and Charlotte and
19:21Colin's foraging challenge.
19:24Tapeworms.
19:25That looks like it, yeah.
19:26Do you think?
19:26Yeah.
19:27Having been shown all five different plants in their foraging lesson, the pair are still
19:33struggling to remember which plants match which descriptions.
19:37Oh God, I hope we're right.
19:38But she also said that was very sweet and sour.
19:41Am I overthinking that?
19:43Yeah, I think we'll swap that over.
19:45We'll take a chance with that.
19:47Yeah.
19:48An easier constipation.
19:50I think that's correct.
19:53I don't know.
19:56So that's our best guess.
20:00All we can do is hope.
20:01Yeah.
20:03Are you ready for the results?
20:06I think so.
20:07Yes.
20:08Good.
20:10Good for hangover?
20:12Yes.
20:13Oh, great.
20:14I got one right.
20:16Got one.
20:16Oh God.
20:17Oh, I'm feeling better already.
20:18The money's not that important to me.
20:21For Charlotte though, she said if she won, the first thing she'd do is buy her mum a mobility
20:26scooter.
20:27Shukina?
20:28Sweet enough to eat?
20:31Yes.
20:32Yay!
20:32That would mean more to me than me winning any money.
20:35Well done, Carl.
20:36I'm glad we changed it from the other one.
20:38Yeah.
20:38Yeah.
20:39I'd just love to see her that happy.
20:42Noya, cleanse your nightmare.
20:45No.
20:46Oh.
20:47Okay.
20:47Yes.
20:47It's all right.
20:49Ento, get rid of the tapeworms.
20:51Yes.
20:53Yes.
20:53Oh, great.
20:55Good for this.
20:59Yes.
21:00That's four.
21:01I know.
21:02Oh my goodness.
21:02Come here.
21:04This is four.
21:06Four?
21:07Oh, that's brilliant.
21:08Oh, I'm so happy.
21:10I know.
21:10I don't know anyone could get four.
21:12I think we've had help from the garden.
21:14Yeah.
21:15Do you want to get five?
21:18Four.
21:19Thank you so much.
21:21I think unless someone gets five, I think we've done enough to get through.
21:27Yeah, I really think so.
21:31Having struggled to recall the price of each type of seafood...
21:34Shall we lock in?
21:35Yes, let's lock in.
21:36...Rosie and Lawrence have finally committed to a decision.
21:40They'll need to win at least four coins to secure a place in the final.
21:45Correct.
21:50Correct.
21:52Correct.
21:56You were right.
22:01Correct.
22:02Yes.
22:03You're kidding.
22:04Really?
22:05I've never jumped up like that after a challenge, you know?
22:07I thought he wasn't going to put them two down.
22:09I thought that was it, you know?
22:10Because he skipped them.
22:11When that fifth coin went down, I just could have hit the roof.
22:15Oh my God.
22:16Oh my God.
22:17Wow.
22:18I want to scream, but I can't scream.
22:20I'm in a fish market.
22:21Thank you so much.
22:22It just means that we've got a fighting chance, a good fighting chance, to get to the final.
22:29Congratulations.
22:30Thank you so much.
22:46Thank you so much.
23:04Thank you so much.
23:12Thank you so much.
23:16Hello, guys.
23:17How are you doing?
23:17How are you doing?
23:18Yeah, good.
23:19You all right?
23:19Yeah, not too bad.
23:21How do you feel?
23:22To be honest, I didn't think that we'd make it so far, you know?
23:25Yeah.
23:25Considering, obviously, our kind of rough start at the beginning.
23:28We have both said, from the beginning, we're going to the final and we're going to take
23:32the money home.
23:33And that's never, it's never varied.
23:35So how did you do this time?
23:37Well, so, one, we've got two, we've got three, four, and five.
23:50Well done, Laura.
23:51Wow.
23:51Oh my God.
23:52Well done, Rosie.
23:54You're in the final.
23:55You're in the lead.
23:56Oh no.
23:57We're just hoping that the last pair...
23:59Add four or less.
24:02The last couple to reveal their hand are 80-year-old Barbara and 21-year-old Katie.
24:07Oh, well done.
24:09You've done well.
24:11Yeah.
24:12Five coins again.
24:13They're the comeback kids, these two.
24:15I know.
24:15They certainly are.
24:17I'm four.
24:18Hey, that's good, that.
24:19Come on, Katie.
24:21This will be having you.
24:23It's the first time that I've not felt confident.
24:25All the way through this competition, I've been confident.
24:32One.
24:34Four.
24:36It's so powerful.
24:38Yeah.
24:40Three.
24:42Four.
24:49Five.
24:50Oh, well done.
24:52Well done.
24:53Well done.
24:53Guys, honestly, well done.
24:55Well done.
25:07Well done.
25:08Aw.
25:10Not to say we're in shock, but we are.
25:13It's like a kick to the gut, really, isn't it?
25:15It is, yeah.
25:17Because we actually thought we were going to win.
25:19Well, yeah.
25:20Not to do that on horns or anything, but we did, didn't we?
25:23All the way through the competition, we thought we were going to win.
25:25It's hard to say goodbye.
25:27I wanted to stay and be part of it, but it was so worth it.
25:31Yeah, it really was.
25:31To come here.
25:32Yeah.
25:33And experience everything I have, see the places I've seen, meet the people I've met.
25:40I lost my son five years ago, and he was a traveller.
25:44He would have been so proud of me for coming out today.
25:47Of course he would.
25:47Drop of a hat.
25:48Of course he would, Carl.
25:49And he's with me all the time.
25:51He is.
25:52Of course he is.
25:53He'd be so proud of you, Carl.
25:55So, so proud.
25:55Very proud of you.
25:57One thing that stands out for me is, I had this preconceived idea before I came,
26:03that young people, they think of older people as something that's no longer needed.
26:10Charlotte here is, she's really made me realise that not all young people are like that.
26:15No.
26:16And the future now is a lot better because of girls like this.
26:21He's taught me so much, do you know what I mean?
26:24Going back a different person.
26:25Good.
26:26Because of you.
26:27Is this the final two teams?
26:30Yes.
26:31Oh.
26:34Lawrence and Rosie, Katie and Barbara.
26:37Congratulations.
26:40You have made it to the final.
26:42And one team will win 50,000 pounds.
26:48Wow.
26:49The teammates with the highest coin count at the final will win.
26:56Wow.
26:59First, you must prove how well you know your team mate.
27:06In solo challenges.
27:10Let's go.
27:11That's it.
27:11We've got this.
27:12Good luck, Dad.
27:13In a last twist to the competition.
27:16Get my skates on and head to key time.
27:20The remaining finalists will have to navigate solo challenges without their team mates.
27:24It's time to make arrangements at Shiroi Shiku.
27:30They'll need to demonstrate how much they've learned about each other on their journey before
27:34reuniting to compete in one final task.
27:37Does this go to Drinotti?
27:38For the team mates who win the highest number of coins, a life changing 50,000 pound cash prize awaits.
27:45Feels quite lonely without Lawrence.
27:48Excuse me.
27:50Sorry.
28:01In Hokkaido, two intergenerational teams have reached the final stages of a life changing
28:07treasure hunt across Japan.
28:09I'm sweating from nerves.
28:12But the competition is about to get even tougher, as the team mates have been separated for
28:17the first time since they met.
28:19Doing this on my own, it's got wrenching.
28:23In their first ever solo challenge.
28:25Do you know this area?
28:27What they've learned about each other on their journey will be put to the test.
28:31It's really different like being apart from Rosie, you know?
28:33This is like the first time kind of just me.
28:36As they'll each be asked questions to see how well they really know their team mate.
28:40I don't know how Barbara's getting on.
28:42I reckon she's probably got someone pushing her around in like a wheelbarrow or something
28:46to the place she needs to go.
28:47Oh, we're off then.
28:49With five possible coins on offer.
28:51Skate park cut bone.
28:54And there's a pin.
28:55Every answer will prove costly.
28:57Oh, it's a pin.
28:58In the hunt to win £50,000.
29:02There's a gold pin on the machine.
29:04This must be the right place.
29:06It's a great place to put a pin.
29:09It's a good job of nosey.
29:11Otherwise I wouldn't have seen that.
29:13I'm really in my comfort zone when I'm with Katie.
29:18But today I'm on my own.
29:20I've got to get on with it.
29:21All four team mates will be asked five questions about their partners.
29:27I don't know everything about Lawrence.
29:29I know I've learnt a lot about him.
29:31But no matter how long you've known somebody, you don't always know as much as you perhaps think you do.
29:38For every fact they get right, they'll win a coin and be one step closer to winning the competition.
29:45Katie talks to me ever such a lot.
29:48So, let's hope I know a lot about her.
29:52Where does Katie live?
29:55Weedness or Warrington?
29:57Katie lives in Warrington.
29:59Nice.
30:03Which ear can Barbara hear out of?
30:05The way I remember this is because Barbara's always right.
30:09It is her right ear.
30:14Oh, I thought I didn't have one then.
30:16What pet does Lawrence have?
30:19I do happen to know that it is a guinea pig.
30:23It's the first time that I've done a solo game.
30:27And it's so much easier when there's two of you.
30:31What is Rosie's favourite band?
30:34We've spoke about this.
30:36Mmm, Iron Maiden, for sure.
30:39Bread.
30:40Yes.
30:41Working with Rosie the last few weeks has been, like, amazing, you know, getting to know her.
30:45She's, like, a best friend.
30:47I really can't remember any mention of a cello, so I am going to go with piano.
30:52Not only I'm learning a lot about myself, but a lot about Rosie as well.
30:55You've got this.
30:56Oh, thank you.
30:58Oh, my word.
30:59Brigada.
31:00What is the name of Barbara's late husband, Colin or Keith?
31:05Answer is Colin.
31:09Katie, for the win.
31:11What word does Lawrence use for cool?
31:15I know, it's dope.
31:16What did Rosie describe herself as when she was a kid?
31:20I'm going to say tomboy.
31:21What village does Barbara live in?
31:23She lived in Kimber.
31:25Katie has a tattoo of what on her ankle?
31:30I think it's bird.
31:33Nah.
31:34Oh, wonderful, wonderful.
31:37Yeah.
31:37With both Barbara and Rosie winning a maximum of five coins, their junior teammates have
31:43one last question each to try and match their scores.
31:47The last one's going to be the hardest.
31:51What is the name of Barbara's cat?
31:53Katie, okay.
31:55Barbara's cat is Katie.
32:02Five coins.
32:05Okay.
32:06I'm off for the last one.
32:08What is Rosie's late husband's name?
32:11Hank or Frank?
32:16Frank.
32:20No.
32:23Fuck, man.
32:25How?
32:26I was so sure.
32:27I feel like I let Rosie down in a way, you know?
32:30I know how much her husband meant to Rosie.
32:32Obviously, that's one of the things that we spoke about quite often and quite a lot.
32:35And it's important.
32:36It is.
32:37So, yeah, it's quite sad, really.
32:40The teams must now reunite to reveal how many coins they've each won and will be rolling
32:45over to their final challenge in Japan.
32:51Awaiting them is the awe-inspiring Hill of the Buddha.
32:56Built in 2015, architect Tadao Ando surrounded the pre-existing stone statue with a hill-like mound to partially conceal
33:06the Buddha and integrate the spiritual shrine with nature.
33:11For the two remaining teams, it's where they'll compete for the final time to win the competition and a life
33:19-changing prize.
33:21Winning the 50k would mean that my big dream of having all of my children, my grandchildren, my great-grandson,
33:30all on holiday at the same time, could come true.
33:35I've had a charmed life, but Katie hasn't.
33:39And this money, it could change her life for the better.
33:44The time has come.
33:46I know.
33:47Oh, dear.
33:48One.
33:49One.
33:49With five coins each.
33:51Two.
33:51Barbara and Rosie have secured the maximum score for their respective teams.
33:56I am actually so proud of myself for coming on this.
33:58I've proven to everyone that I can manage it.
34:02I've not panicked.
34:03This is just the start of discovering myself.
34:06And, I mean, that's what the 25k will go.
34:08It might even help me to set up my own business.
34:12Bob, five coins, I'm so proud of you.
34:14Oh, well, thank you.
34:16What you got?
34:18Another five coins from Katie takes their team score to ten.
34:22Well done, Katie.
34:24Well done, Katie.
34:24I'm proud of you.
34:25Really proud of you.
34:27That's the first time that anybody has filled that box.
34:32I didn't think I would get this far.
34:34In the show, in life, in general.
34:37We're in the finals, you know, so from here it can either go two ways.
34:41Either I go home with £50,000 with Rosie or not, you know.
34:44Hello, guys.
34:45Hello, Lauren.
34:47How are we all?
34:48Hello, Lauren.
34:49Oh, goodness.
34:50See all these coins?
34:51Never seen it like that.
34:52I guess I'd better put mine down then.
34:54Yes.
34:57There's two, three, and there's just four.
35:04Unfortunately, the one question, it was, like, your late husband's name, and it was Hank or Frank, and, like, I
35:11was so sure of Frank.
35:13Oh, you thought of Frank.
35:13I can quite understand because I do talk about Frank a lot.
35:16Well done.
35:17Just by one.
35:18Well done.
35:18Well, thank you.
35:19Give me a hug.
35:20I was very surprised that the ones slip up, but that can happen to any of us.
35:27This is as kind of tense as it's been, really, isn't it?
35:30Yes.
35:30Yes.
35:32Having been tested all across Japan, the teams will compete one more time in their final challenge.
35:39Good luck, guys.
35:41At the base of the Buddha are 20 bowls, each placed above a plinth displaying a true or false statement
35:48about Japan.
35:49But only ten of the statements are correct.
35:52Barbara, we're going to have to have a lot of faith in each of them.
35:54Yep.
35:55A lot of faith.
35:56Come on.
35:57They'll need to call on all they've learnt about Japan during their epic adventure.
36:02If they select a true statement, they'll find a coin to add to their total.
36:07If they make a mistake, their game will end and they'll be unable to win any more coins.
36:14All we've got to do is get one more than the other team.
36:17That's all we've got to do.
36:19With coins rolling over from the solo games, the team with the highest number of coins at the end of
36:24their final challenge will win the competition and split 50,000 pounds.
36:29We are at a slight disadvantage due to being one coin behind.
36:35Do you see any of that stand out?
36:37They're quite difficult, man.
36:39I'll go up.
36:39You wait there.
36:42Cherry blossoms are considered a national symbol of Japan.
36:46I think that one's the definite.
36:49Mine and Barbara's strategy is process of elimination.
36:52So we're going to choose the ones that we definitely know.
36:56Do you want to do that one?
36:57Yep.
37:01One coin!
37:04The white in Buddhism would be my answer.
37:07And is Tokyo Japan's oldest city?
37:10Or is it sells more adult nappies than baby nappies?
37:14I don't know that one either.
37:15Could be quite possible.
37:19Japan sells more adult nappies than baby nappies.
37:22I actually know that one.
37:23Yes.
37:24Yeah?
37:26Yes.
37:29In traditional Japanese weddings, the groom wears a black kimono.
37:34That's right.
37:35Yeah?
37:35Fingers crossed.
37:39Oh, Barbara, you're amazing.
37:41Do we know what grooms wear at weddings?
37:45Erm, which one should we start with?
37:48Yes.
37:49Locking in white in Buddhism signifies purity, clarity and knowledge.
37:55Oh!
37:57Oh, Katie!
38:00Tokyo is the most populated city in the world.
38:03True?
38:04Yes.
38:05Yes.
38:08That's a good start.
38:09It is a good start.
38:10It's that first challenge.
38:12Our communication has just grown and grown and our bond has just grown and grown.
38:17No, totally.
38:18And that has certainly helped us to get more and more coins each time.
38:22Eating KFC is a popular Christmas tradition in Japan.
38:26Yeah, right.
38:26I know that one's true.
38:30Do you?
38:30Yeah.
38:31Do you?
38:32Yeah.
38:33Do you know?
38:34I think that is true.
38:36Yes, you do.
38:36But maybe we hold it up for now.
38:39Tokyo is Japan's oldest city.
38:42I think it's quite modern Tokyo.
38:44I don't think it is.
38:47What about those at the back?
38:49The Imperial Palace is located in Tokyo.
38:52Yes.
38:53Oh, wait a bit.
38:55Ah!
38:57Shall we do the Buddha one?
38:58This one here?
38:59Yeah, I think that one.
39:00I think so, yeah.
39:01Yes.
39:03Okay, so, another one that you're fairly sure on.
39:07The Fugu puffer fish is a poisonous fish that is prepared as a delicacy in Japan.
39:11I'm fairly certain on the puffer fish one.
39:13Yeah.
39:14Yes.
39:15That's good.
39:17Move on a bit.
39:18Done all of this one.
39:19We'll go through this line that I'm on here.
39:21And then we'll move up again.
39:22So, don't think about...
39:23What about this bottom line?
39:24Yeah, we've done that one.
39:25I'm getting confused.
39:27Katie, please bear with me.
39:28No, no, no.
39:28I'm getting confused.
39:30Just let me concentrate on that.
39:31Tokyo is Japan's oldest city.
39:34Bear with me.
39:37I don't know.
39:39We don't get that right.
39:40We're eliminated.
39:50In Hokkaido, the grand finale of an epic treasure hunt to win £50,000 is reaching its climax.
39:58Tokyo is the most populated city in the world.
40:01It is?
40:02Putting everything they've learnt on their journey to one final test, two teams are trying
40:07to work out which statements about Japan are true.
40:10So, Bento is a traditional Japanese packed lunch.
40:13For every correct answer, they'll win another coin.
40:17But if they are incorrect, their game will immediately come to an end.
40:21That's got to be true.
40:23With coins rolling over from their solo games, Rosie and Lawrence are on a combined total of 12.
40:30Yes.
40:30While Katie and Barbara are still in the lead with 14.
40:34I know that one's true.
40:36How do you know?
40:37I get stuck in little wormholes.
40:44Are you sure?
40:45No.
40:45I'm not.
40:46I'm not.
40:46But I've got to rely on you.
40:48You've got to rely on me.
40:50Are you sure of any more?
40:52No, just this one.
40:54Go on then, darling.
40:59You little demon.
41:01She's a bright girl.
41:03How did you know that?
41:04I don't know.
41:05She's amazing.
41:06She is.
41:07I'm so lucky to have her.
41:09What?
41:09Kyoto was the capital of Japan.
41:11I think that that could probably be true.
41:14Yes.
41:15I'm inclined to think that that is true.
41:20It's a cherry blossom.
41:22True.
41:22I believe so.
41:24I don't know that.
41:25Winning something like this, it would be completely life changing and it would definitely make
41:28life a lot different.
41:30Probably a lot easier as well.
41:32In so many ways.
41:34Feng Shui.
41:35What's Feng Shui?
41:39Feng Shui is positioning of furniture and this, that and the other to get calmness and well-mindedness.
41:52I think that that's very Japanese.
41:54Yeah.
41:55Shall we go with?
41:56Shall we go with Feng Shui?
41:58Yeah, so Feng Shui originated in Japan.
42:03I think that's true.
42:05Are we locking it in?
42:06Yeah.
42:09Feng Shui originated in Japan.
42:19It's incorrect.
42:20Oh.
42:23No, Barbara.
42:25It's a no.
42:28We got it wrong?
42:30Yeah.
42:30No.
42:32Oh.
42:34I want fluff that for you.
42:36Don't worry.
42:37It's fine.
42:39Barbara.
42:40Stop being so negative.
42:47Okay.
42:48So that's us.
42:50Finished.
42:52Well, we're all done anyway.
42:54We're all done.
42:54We're all done.
42:56We're all done.
42:57We started off on like a, so you can say like a rocky start, you know?
43:00There was many that kind of did take me by surprise.
43:02Feng Shui, I thought it was Japanese.
43:05We both thought it was Japanese.
43:06Yeah.
43:07And we were wrong.
43:07But I'm hoping we've done enough.
43:09We've done our best.
43:11But I do feel that it's in the lap of the gods now.
43:18You've done your best and I'm proud of you.
43:20We've got this far.
43:21You should be so proud of yourself.
43:24I've let you down, chick.
43:25No, you haven't.
43:26Look.
43:27No, you haven't.
43:27I'm serious now.
43:28I'm deadly serious.
43:31I fluffed it.
43:33I completely fluffed it.
43:36At some point, we was going to get the question wrong anyways.
43:39It doesn't matter.
43:41Well.
43:44You're a positive thinker, Katie.
43:46It's a gift, I'll tell you.
43:55Hello.
43:55Unaware of how their rivals have done, the teams must now come together to reveal their results.
44:01Hi, guys.
44:01Hello.
44:02Hi, guys.
44:02The pair who've won the most coins across both final challenges will be crowned winners and take home the £50
44:09,000 prize.
44:11How do you feel?
44:12Horrible.
44:13Anxious.
44:14Before completing their final game, Barbara and Katie were leading Rosie and Lawrence by ten coins to nine.
44:21We got one.
44:23So we're even now.
44:26It was even.
44:27Yeah.
44:29OK.
44:30Well.
44:31There's 12.
44:35To win would be absolutely amazing.
44:38But to win with Barbara, I can't even put it into words.
44:4213.
44:45We're at 13.
44:47Here's 14.
44:51My confidence has definitely grown while I've been having this experience.
44:57A lot is thanks to Lawrence because he's always encouraging me.
45:01And praising me.
45:03And I think that that has certainly helped.
45:0615.
45:08I feel like coming here, it's life changing, you know.
45:11I've learned that the world's a big place.
45:13And just to appreciate a lot more, you know.
45:16Like the simplicities in life, I think.
45:19Have you guys got one to match?
45:23Wow.
45:24It's getting scary, isn't it?
45:27Yes.
45:27The money's out.
45:28We're that close.
45:31So that's 17.
45:34You guys got 17?
45:36Well, we certainly are that close, but...
45:42We have got 17.
45:44Oh.
45:45Pressure's on really now, isn't it?
45:47It really is, yes.
45:47Like a lot.
45:50So that's 18.
45:52The money would mean an awful lot to Lawrence.
45:55He wants to do some things with his music and also wants to travel a bit as well.
46:01Down.
46:05A level pegging at 18.
46:08Yeah.
46:08And just two spaces left.
46:20Oh, we're done.
46:22You're joking.
46:23No, we're done.
46:24We have won.
46:25Congratulations.
46:26We've won.
46:26Seriously.
46:27We've won.
46:28Yeah, you've won.
46:29Yay!
46:30Goodness, we did it.
46:32Now I think I'm going to cry.
46:34Yeah, likewise.
46:35I just don't want it to end, man, you know.
46:37Like, just all of it.
46:39It's been so great.
46:40And, yeah, it's beautiful, man.
46:43Genuine.
46:43Like, it's a lot.
46:45Absolutely wonderful.
46:46Yeah, ecstatic.
46:48It's life-changing.
46:50Seen a lot, done a lot.
46:51And it's been beautiful.
46:53Like, entirely.
46:55It's mad.
46:56It's mad.
46:57We have not won.
46:58And I'm really disappointed in that.
47:02Because I sincerely wanted Katie to have that sort of money.
47:08You haven't let me down.
47:10Oh.
47:10If anything, you've got me to the final.
47:12God bless you.
47:13Well, you've got me to the final as well.
47:15Well, there you are, then.
47:17How are you doing?
47:18How are you doing?
47:18Yeah, not too bad.
47:20Winner.
47:20We did it.
47:21Winner.
47:24No, thank you.
47:26No, thank you.
47:27No, thank you.
47:27We did it together.
47:28No, I did.
47:28We did.
47:29We did.
47:30We did.
47:30We did.
47:30I really wanted it for you, mama.
47:33No, like, quite the same.
47:35It's been an amazing journey.
47:38It has proved to myself that I could holiday travel again.
47:44Thank you, my darling.
47:47Head vault.
47:48Woo!
47:50Thank you, Katie.
47:52Oh, no, thank you.
47:52I feel like this whole experience has just showed me that, like, no matter how old or
47:57young or who you are, it's, yeah, it's very possible, like, for you to get along.
48:03My confidence has grown, and I think that you are mostly a thanks for that.
48:09Yeah.
48:11You're my family now.
48:13You know that.
48:15You're the newest member of our family.
48:19Yeah, we did it.
48:20Yes.
48:21Come here.
48:22Come here.
48:23All of this.
48:24All of this.
48:25We did it.
48:26We did it.
48:26We did it.
48:47We did it.
49:00We did it, it was done.
