Sarah Green and Roman Kemp’s popular daytime gameshow The Finish Line is to return to BBC One this Bank Holiday Monday, 6 May at 4.30pm.
In each episode, hosted by Roman and assisted by Sarah, contestants battle across a series of qualifiers and head-to-head races for the chance to win a cash prize. The aim of the game is simple – make it to the finish line before your rivals! The first series was a big hit with viewers when it debuted last year.
Roman Kemp says: “The first series was so much fun; I had such a laugh filming, and we had some great contestants. There were some shocking answers, but that’s what happens when your adrenaline is pumping and you’re under a time pressure. I’m so excited to be hosting again and returning to Northern Ireland.
“I love that it’s done so well with the audience, it’s challenging and unpredictable; we know that viewers will be hooked once again!”
Sarah Greene added: “Making the first series of The Finish Line was like being part of a big warm family, where we felt involved in a fantastic idea and format. Best of all? As soon as The Finish Line went to air, our viewers joined us in their droves.
“I know I speak for all of us on the show when I say we can’t wait to get back into the studio for more quickfire questions, nail-biting finishes and lots of laughs on Series 2 of The Finish Line!”
The gameshow returns as part of BBC One’s bank holiday schedule, which also includes a repeat of the animation The Boy, The Mole and the Fox.
The new series was filmed in Belfast earlier this year.
