BBC release first look at Roman Kemp’s The Finish Line
Entertainment News: Sarah Greene and Roman Kemp feature in first promo shots from new daytime quiz.
The first official photos from the set of new BBC One Daytime quiz show – The Finish Line – have been unveiled today.
The images - captured while the show was being filmed in Belfast, Northern Ireland - show Roman Kemp and Sarah Greene on set, alongside the show’s moving podiums which contestants race on while answering questions.
The Finish Line – due to air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer this summer - sees contestants compete in quiz-fuelled races across a unique racetrack set. Knowledge equals speed in this exciting, fresh format from Potato. The more you know, the further you go.
In each episode, five 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.
Roman Kemp said: “I’m so excited to be hosting The Finish Line, coming to BBC One this summer. I’m a huge fan of quiz shows and with this being my first time hosting one, I really can’t wait for people to see it.
“I love that it’s a brand-new format but based on an iconic horse-racing fairground game. The show is challenging and unpredictable; we know that viewers will be hooked!”
Sarah Greene added: “I’m absolutely thrilled that people can watch The Finish Line soon. It’s quickfire, nail-biting and utterly compelling. AND I get to keep cheeky Roman Kemp and our fabulous contestants on their toes!”
The Finish Line has been commissioned for BBC One Daytime and iPlayer by Commissioning Editor, Alex McLeod with 25 episodes and is produced with funding from Northern Ireland Screen by Potato, in partnership with Nice One Productions. The executive producers are Potato’s Michael Kelpie and Adam Adler, and Nice One’s Chris Jones.
