THE FINISH LINE RETURNS FOR THIRD SERIES ON BBC ONE, LAUNCH DATE REVEALED

The Finish Line is back on screens, returning for six weeks with a brand-new series from Monday 10 March, 4.30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

Airing weekdays, the third season of the popular quiz show sees Roman Kemp putting players through their paces in a thrilling combination of racing and quizzing, accompanied by Sarah Greene.

Roman Kemp said, “I’m absolutely buzzing that The Finish Line is back for another series! There are some seriously tense moments, and when the pressure’s on, you never know what’s going to happen! Sarah and I had a blast filming, and I can’t wait for everyone to see all the excitement, drama, and surprises this series has in store.”

Sarah Greene added, “I couldn’t be more thrilled to be back on air with Roman for a third series of The Finish Line! The speed, suspense and surprises are all there and it’s even bolder and brighter than before. A fully supercharged quiz for our fabulously supercharged contestants.”

In each episode, players will compete 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. Knowledge and speed combine for gripping racing action with nail-biting finishes and plenty of tension.

Martin Scott, Executive Producer at Potato, also said, “If you love the thrill of an exciting race, you will be delighted to see the return of The Finish Line. As always, Roman and Sarah were on top form, and the going looks good for another brilliant series of quizzing action.”

Chris Jones, Founder of Nice One Productions, added, “The Finish Line delivers more quick-fire questions, and contestant laughs than any other daytime quiz. Making series 3 was a joy and underlines Belfast’s potential as a studio quiz hub.”

Alex McLeod, Commissioning Editor for BBC Daytime, comments, “The dynamic duo are back for more races. This series has fast become a fan-favourite for audiences, there’s jeopardy and real heart-racing moments that have you jumping up and down shouting the answers at the screen. It’s a brilliant programme to be enjoyed by all the family and I’m so glad its back.”

The Finish Line is available on BBC iPlayer.
