0:00:02 > 0:00:04Welcome to Airmageddon and the Airena.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07Normally, this hallowed hangar plays host to young aviators
0:00:07 > 0:00:10and their wingmen, who tackle a series of games
0:00:10 > 0:00:12with their hi-tech quad-copters.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14But today, it's the Dad Special.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17- Yes, three daring dads... - Bring it back, Grandad.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19..and one grandad, are on the remote controls.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21But will they be remotely in control?
0:00:21 > 0:00:23I don't know what's going on!
0:00:23 > 0:00:25And can they teach their offspring a lesson?
0:00:25 > 0:00:27That way, that way.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Or will it be a crash course for our senior servicemen?
0:00:30 > 0:00:33If you thought dad-dancing was dire, ha!
0:00:33 > 0:00:36This is Airmageddon, the Dad Special.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37Yes!
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Welcome to a very special revolutionary
0:01:01 > 0:01:03instalment of Airmageddon.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Yes, in the world of drone competition,
0:01:05 > 0:01:07there have been murmurings of discontent.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09The dads want their turn.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Their kids have been having too much fun, apparently.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Yes, some of our adult wingmen
0:01:13 > 0:01:15have been very vocal about this.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16They've given us some attitude.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20The once-gentle banter has turned into unbelievable boasting.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22"I could do better than that," they've claimed.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24"Why can't I have a go?" they've pleaded.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27"Really?" we've said. "Prove it!"
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Don't get us wrong, the kids are still in charge,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32but now our parents have got hold of the controls.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35And they really have to do as they are told
0:01:35 > 0:01:37if they know what's good for them.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38- BOTH:- Let's meet our aviators!
0:01:38 > 0:01:42First out, it's the Wild Racers,
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Rory and Simon.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Team Infiniti next.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Ami now the aviator, still led by Umar.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Team Ace - grandad Steve aviates - by Marcus.
0:01:51 > 0:01:57And Area 51, Michael and Brandon, our final identified flying duo.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59So, aviators, you asked for it.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Are you ready to fly?- Yes!
0:02:01 > 0:02:04So, Ami, you've been here before.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08But how different is it standing in the Airena knowing this
0:02:08 > 0:02:11time it's all on your shoulders, big guy?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Very, very daunting. It looks crazy.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- It's going to be very hard.- Excellent stuff.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19We've got Team Ace over here. We've got Steve and Marcus.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Marcus, how much confidence have you got in your grandad Steve over here?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25I'm confident, but I just don't want to get too confident.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Definitely not.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Steve, are you ready?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Yes, I'm ready!- Yes, he is ready!
0:02:31 > 0:02:32He's ready! Super ready!
0:02:32 > 0:02:34One thing hasn't changed, though,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37my Personalised Interactive Gyrocopter.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Yes, PIG, and not his dad, is about to give us
0:02:41 > 0:02:43a flyby of the course. Go on.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46The Airsault Course has been matured, if you like,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48ready for our newly promoted aviators.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51On offer - the ubiquitous gates with a twist,
0:02:51 > 0:02:54an added horizontal one.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55The Letterboxes of Luck will ask
0:02:55 > 0:02:57just who can deliver,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00before propelling through a smoking corridor.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Eyes right - the horizontal gate.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Then the vicious Vortex.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10Added to the top, a gate ready to discombobulate.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Then over the finish line to get the final time.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Will it be sublime?
0:03:14 > 0:03:15I do love a rhyme.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17But sometimes I just go on too long and mis-time.
0:03:17 > 0:03:23So, four very nervous dads, four very experienced wingmen.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26And the Airsault Course in a go condition.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29But I'm sure I've forgotten something. Ah, yes.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31One of our resident drones will be taking off
0:03:31 > 0:03:33to join them in the mayhem.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34Let's find out who.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36WASP.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Young WASP was first introduced to jam sandwiches
0:03:39 > 0:03:41by his dear old dad Hornet,
0:03:41 > 0:03:42but his sweetness stops there.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45This pugnacious pest is a couple of jam sarnies
0:03:45 > 0:03:48shy of a full picnic.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Taking the course first is Infiniti.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Umar and Ami may have swapped places,
0:03:53 > 0:03:55but their drone is the same.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59It's a custom-painted Beijing Olympic Stadium design.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- It was fast as lightning for Umar... - Yeah!
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Can Ami make it as fast as Usain Bolt?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08How are you feeling?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Very terrified!
0:04:10 > 0:04:14So, Umar, this is your chance to really help your dad shine, OK.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Because you were one of the fastest fliers we had in series one.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20How are you going to make sure that he goes nearly as quick as you did?
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- Just go fast and just listen to what I say.- That's good advice.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Listen to your son.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Aviators, stand by.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30So this is it.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33The first of the dad-tastic specials.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Air Marshall, is your old man an air marshal, too?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38I have no father.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I do have a creator, though.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Oh, a creator?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44A robotic scientist called Kevin.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Did he treat you like a son?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49No, he sent me away for programming.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Sorry, old chap.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Me too.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58Commencing launch in three, two, one...
0:04:58 > 0:05:00First thrust. First thrust.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Forward, forward.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Slowly. Go left.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07A bit forward. Forward. Forward.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11We're used to Aminur the Animated jibber-jabbering away,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13but not today.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Thrust. Up, up, up.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16No, no, no. Left stick, left stick.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Left stick. Left stick.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21To the right. A bit more.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Umar telling Pops what's what.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25I thought he'd gone into the flames then.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28To the left. Forward, forward.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30He seems to have got it back under control.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31He was getting mighty confused there.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I'm not so sure, Will.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35He's been flying all over the shop.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Or, should I say, Airena?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Hopefully, they can get back on track towards those pesky Pillars.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40Forward, forward, forward.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43A bit to the right. Now to the left.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Left it is, right?
0:05:45 > 0:05:49To the left, to the left, to the left, to the left.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50OK, OK.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54I think he wants it left, right?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Now down. Slowly, slowly, slowly.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58To the left. Forward, forward, forward!
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Hot handling with a new horizontal gate.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06WASP hoping to snatch and take away their hopes and dreams.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Note the "take away" bit especially.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Now go through. Go through it nicely, nicely.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Don't turn it!
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Safe to say he's making a right old meal of this.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Down! Don't worry about the flame. Just put your stick this way.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21This way, this way, this way!
0:06:23 > 0:06:28Oh, no! Oh, no! Nearly got his circuits fried there!
0:06:28 > 0:06:29Oh no!
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Oh, go on, go on!
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Crazy technique...!
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Oh!
0:06:33 > 0:06:37I'm not sure what happened. I think he hit the snooze button on himself.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42Bouncing along the ground towards the finish line, space hopper style.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- You've got a course record! - Brilliant!
0:06:44 > 0:06:47The slowest ever time! 5 minutes 56.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49That's incredible, well done.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Seriously, you should be very pleased with yourself.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Maybe you shouldn't be so hard on your dad,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- because he might make it through to the next round.- You never know.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59You never know, eh?
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Second into the Airena, the Wild Racers, Rory and Simon.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Simon used to be a wild car racer, hence the chequered flag design.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10But four propellers is a whole lot different to four wheels.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Wild Racers have a history with Infiniti.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15They were beaten by them last time.
0:07:15 > 0:07:22After Infiniti's poor propeller work, is it time for payback?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25So, Rory, how confident are you in your dad's flying ability?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27I'm quite confident with my dad's flying ability
0:07:27 > 0:07:29because he flies really well.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31He's the one who taught me, so...
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Does he fly with a flying club, or anything like that?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Yes, he flies with a flying club in Milton Keynes.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39OK. So, basically, you need to post a good time,
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- otherwise you're going to be the laughing stock.- Yes, I know.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- The pressure is on. This is for the team.- Perfect, perfect.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Let's get you in the air. Aviators, stand by!
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Rory's favourite subject at school is maths,
0:07:54 > 0:07:56so he's counting on dad Simon here
0:07:56 > 0:07:58to add up to something in the Airena.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01So, this is it. Thumbs at the ready.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03WASP is awaiting.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Airena lights turn to full moody mode.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12Wild Racers launch in three, two, one...
0:08:12 > 0:08:14And they're up!
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Smooth riding through the first gate.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- He can actually fly. - Yes, I think he can. And does!
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Very good, very nice.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32A few problems down in the... Oh, he seems to have stalled slightly.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Bring it through. Up, up, up.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37That's it. Come through.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Yes, good wingmanship from Rory there,
0:08:40 > 0:08:42aiding dad through the letterboxes.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44- Clear of that one?- Through.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48The old boss has a beady eye on things.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Will he get up to some mischief this time?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Hoop, hoop. Up, up, up.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55OK, down, down.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Horizontal gate.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Through the hoop.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Very smooth sailing.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Down. Down, down.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05They head towards the world-famous Vortex.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Oh-ho!- That's it there.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Now, up, up, up.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Up, up, up.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13A lot of hot air around there.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16And I'm not talking about the blustering boss himself,
0:09:16 > 0:09:18the Air Marshall.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Pipe down, sonny!
0:09:19 > 0:09:24- Ooh, dressing me down!- Through the last gate, that was nifty.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Nifty indeed. He's got to keep the drone under control, though.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Over the finish line...
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Oh, did he clip the pole there?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Across the finish line...
0:09:34 > 0:09:37But he is one fast mamacita!
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Powering past the post, a few big hits to the head.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46I think he's clipped the wings of Infiniti.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Here is the Airsault Leaderboard...
0:09:53 > 0:09:56The Wild Racers are way out ahead.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Infiniti, 5 minutes 56.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00That's got to hurt.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Have you ever experienced anything like our Airena before?- I haven't.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07That was a total surprise. As soon as it was in the air, I was like,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09"Wow, this is totally different to what I expected!"
0:10:09 > 0:10:13And then the last post, it was, like, not now! But we got through.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15How did you find your wingman?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17He was brilliant, I'm really proud of him.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Shouting at me, telling me when I was clear of stuff.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Here are the super semifinalists.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Marcus and grandad Steve, AKA Team Ace,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29named after Marcus's dad, Ace.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Steve fixes drones in his spare time.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34He can mend them, but can he fly them?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Keen footballer Marcus was top of the league earlier in the series
0:10:37 > 0:10:39when he won the dogfight 4-0.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Does Grandad have those magnificent manoeuvres?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- So, you've got some flying experience?- A little.- Yes?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48What kind of stuff have you done?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Mainly gliders, remote-controlled gliders.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Right, a really nice gentle, steady...
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Do you ever fly your gliders through hoops with, like,
0:10:55 > 0:10:59massive robotic drones firing sparks at you?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- No, nothing like that. - You don't do that?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- No.- This might be tough, then.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- All right, shall we get you in the air?- Yes.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09All right. Aviators, stand by.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I smell spring in the air.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Or is that sting in the air?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17The WASP is blooming.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18Air Marshall!
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Ready?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Teem Ace, still smiling. Here we go.
0:11:22 > 0:11:28Team Ace launch in three, two, one...
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Lunch? Good call, I'm ravenous!
0:11:31 > 0:11:32I said "launch"!
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Ah! Beg your pardon.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Still, I fancy some Turkey Twizzlers!
0:11:37 > 0:11:39WASP's getting agitated already.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Slow down, slow down, slow down.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Slow down, slow down. Forwards in. Forwards.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Look forwards!
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Trying to work out what way he is. Getting a bit lost.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Getting a bit lost. Oh, no.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Oh, focus on the race, chaps!
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- Right on the stick.- Really struggling. He is really struggling.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Right, right on the right stick. Right on the right stick.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Right on the right stick!
0:12:01 > 0:12:03That's opposite to left on the left stick, Steve. Come on!
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Left, Grandad. No, wrong way.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Look at this, the 360-degree move
0:12:07 > 0:12:12- before he enters the gate.- Somehow, he made it through the hurdles.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14That's it, now pull back a little bit. Back.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Like many great sportsmen, the pressure can still get to him.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19A bit more right. Now drop the height.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21That's it, look at that. Right, now come round.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25You're facing outwards. As you come round, get it facing left. Yes.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28This is great wingmanship from Marcus, constantly talking,
0:12:28 > 0:12:29constantly encouraging.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31I'm with you on that, Will.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Keeping Grandad in check.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Keeping him calm.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37That's what team-ship is all about.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39As the other teams watch on with Rach.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Back towards us, we're going out that way. Back towards us.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Good communication...
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Push forwards to stop it.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Through the gate. Towards the line...
0:12:52 > 0:12:55I don't think a stopwatch is necessary.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56A sundial is more appropriate!
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Steve going on a bit of a sightseeing trip.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01So, how did they fare?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03You made it all the way round!
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- That was hairy, wasn't it?! - That was quite hairy!
0:13:06 > 0:13:08How are you feeling, Marcus? Exhausted?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Happy that it's over.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Scores confirmed...
0:13:14 > 0:13:19The big daddy here is the Wild Racers, still on top.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Team Ace, captains of composure, in second place.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Infiniti, bottom of the pile.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32How was it out there? You did get round, which was great.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Marcus, was there any point when you just thought,
0:13:35 > 0:13:36"Grandad, just give me the controls"?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Yes, he said your left and your right
0:13:38 > 0:13:40and I was like, "What are you doing?!"
0:13:40 > 0:13:43The adults are having problems with left and right today,
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- I'll tell you that. - It's probably my hearing!
0:13:45 > 0:13:47But, guys, you have got a good time.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Second place, you are definitely through!- Wow, brilliant!
0:13:50 > 0:13:53You're going to have to do it all over again.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Finally, Brandon and stepdad Michael with Area 51.
0:13:57 > 0:14:02This team lifts the hair on the back of my neck, it's powered up,
0:14:02 > 0:14:04gelled up and ready for the skies.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Brandon and Michael are cat lovers.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11I wonder whether he's FELINE a wee bit nervous right now.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Can he put the cat amongst the pigeons and get a PURR-FECT time?
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Are you hoping to replicate Brandon's previous success
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- and do a really great time round here?- Fingers crossed.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29I've done some crash-course flying - a lot of flying, a bit of crashing.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34OK, good, I like that. All right, then, let's get you guys in the air.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Aviators, stand by.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38WASP is looking meaner than a cut snake.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40That's happy for him.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Air Marshall, back after a quick refuel - chocolate digestives,
0:14:43 > 0:14:47no doubt. I don't know why, he's battery-operated.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Hey ho, Area 51, get ready!
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Stand by, aviators.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Area 51 launch
0:14:54 > 0:14:57in three, two, one.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Go!
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- Go, Dad.- That's it, yes!
0:15:01 > 0:15:03The other teams watch on nervously.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Through there. Keep going!
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Keep going, keep going. Right, down.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12First the up, now the down.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Handles the descent well.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Nearly touched the floor there.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- That way, that way. - Lower than a beagle's belly.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- Now he's coming up...- Turn, turn! - Wait he is turning towards us!
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- What are you doing?- Oh, no!
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Oh, my goodness.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Straight back down to earth, but he has controlled it.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37Thank goodness we had that bullet-proof glass put in.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40My goodness, you realise how big these things are.
0:15:42 > 0:15:451.5 metres wide. Someone smells a chance.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Up, up! Not too fast.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Up, up, back! Back.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Great piloting there.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53He's really brought this back round, you know.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Don't go too fast. That's it.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58- Well, Captain Comeback.- That's it.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03- Now takes on the Sultan of Skulduggery.- Forwards, forward!
0:16:03 > 0:16:05The WASP does not look happy.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Go, go.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- Under the WASP!- Yes!- And a good time, too. Well done, chaps.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Scores update...
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Let's look at the leaderboard for the final time. Wild Racers on top.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Area 51 just inside the four minutes.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Team Ace - 4 minutes 53.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28We must say bye-bye to Infiniti.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Bye, chaps!
0:16:32 > 0:16:37Guys, Infiniti just a bit too slow, but you got a course record,
0:16:37 > 0:16:40the slowest guys right here!
0:16:40 > 0:16:44They're happy, but I think we know what we're going to have to say,
0:16:44 > 0:16:46but I'm going to let you do this.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48What do you want to say to your dad?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50You're grounded, so get out.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55Unfortunately, you've got to join him! Goodbye, Team Infiniti!
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Infiniti have cast their controls to one side,
0:16:59 > 0:17:03turned off their first person views, and retired from the Airena.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I predict that Dad will be going to bed without any supper.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Three teams continue with the mayhem,
0:17:09 > 0:17:12and here's PIG with what they will be facing next.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17So, what's it all about, PIG?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Ah, speed and turning, he said.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Aviators must speed round the Pillars in their zone,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26avoid them and the house drones,
0:17:26 > 0:17:30and you'll pick up a peachy point for every lap completed.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35The highest score gets a five-second advantage, then into the dogfight.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Well, they say age comes before beauty,
0:17:39 > 0:17:42and I think we're going to find out that that's true.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45This second challenge may get ugly.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Do you reckon you'll be able to take these guys on,
0:17:47 > 0:17:49and get through to the dad fight?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51I'm up against a couple of wily competitors,
0:17:51 > 0:17:53so I'll have to be careful what I do.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Not too cautious, but not too flamboyant either.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- Yes, exactly, somewhere in the middle.- Absolutely.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Steve, you're wily, apparently.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02How does that feel?
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Well, I don't know about that. Maybe a bit of a worm, zigzagging!
0:18:05 > 0:18:07OK. A wiggly, wily worm.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12All right, guys, we need to get you in the air. Aviators, stand by.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Aye-aye, Captain Michael.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Exuding confidence there.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Looking ready to carry on his winning streak.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Good old grandad Steve, the Duke of Cool.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29The DRAGON certainly adds to the heat, though.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33I believe he gargled with a chicken vindaloo this morning.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Aviators, stand by.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Launch in three, two, one.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44And we are on air. In the air, anyway.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46All three up and away.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Dad Simon - classic dad thinking face.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Perhaps the tongue out is aimed at team-mates, or Area 51.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- He's off to a flyer.- Wild Racers are making short work of this.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- They've already lapped the other two.- Now start bringing it back.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05- That's it. Throttle, throttle, throttle.- Slow it down, Grandad.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10That's it, now slow it down, slow right down. That's it, not too fast.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12- Mind his glasses.- He's down!
0:19:12 > 0:19:15That's a big pillar he just smashed into.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Somehow still airborne.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Stay on flight path.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23- Yes, thank you for stating the obvious, Air Marshall.- That's it.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- Forwards.- Oh, he smashed into the tower!
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Forward, forward, forward.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Warning - return to flight path.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Steve and Marcus running in circles, looking for their drone.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38Not so much Team Ace, rather Team Eh... Where's our drone?!
0:19:38 > 0:19:41What's going on? Oh, they've made it, they've made it up!
0:19:41 > 0:19:44They've only got one point and it's game on.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48- Oh, my goodness, nearly a midair collision.- Throttle, throttle.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Oh, no. Nearly hit the DRAGON! He really nearly took out the DRAGON.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53A couple of things there, Steve.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56You hit the tower, took the scenic route round,
0:19:56 > 0:19:59and then you turned Team Ace into Team Face Plant!
0:19:59 > 0:20:04And you've invaded a flying reptile's personal space.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Oh-ho, big mistake.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08That is incredible! If he's recovered that.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Rock-star recovery.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Meanwhile, Brandon, two things to say to Michael.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Down, down, down, down. Down, down, down!
0:20:15 > 0:20:16And he wants to say them a lot.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20- Forwards, forwards. - And again?- Forwards, forwards.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- Not too fast, you've got to slow down.- Quite right.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Wild Racers are looking anything but wild at the moment.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27Can Simon regain control?
0:20:27 > 0:20:31He's now back in position as if nothing ever happened! Oh, what, me?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- Slow it down, Grandad. You're going way too fast.- You tell him, Marcus.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38- No, bring it back, bring it back, Grandad!- Goodness!
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Back, bring it back. Left, left.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43That's it, slow it right down. You're going way too fast.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44Slow it down.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Forwards, forwards. Forwards, that's it. Keep going.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- Don't go in the way of the fire. - Wise words.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Nobody wants barbecued drone for tea.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56It looks like Wild Racers will stay well in the lead now.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00The secret to Simon's success? The concentration face with tongue.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Oh, he got brave. He got too brave!
0:21:05 > 0:21:08I thought you were getting brave. I knew you shouldn't have done that!
0:21:08 > 0:21:11There's a difference between brave and complacent,
0:21:11 > 0:21:14and that's a fine line there, Rory. Methinks Dad just crossed it.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16All that tongue-out action.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Seven seconds remain.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Left, left, left.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Grandad Steve is trying his hardest to fall out of the sky.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Right, right, right!
0:21:25 > 0:21:27And now he's done it.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Drone down.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32It looks like Michael is wanting some pillar-smashing action, too.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35It doesn't knock him to the ground.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37And that's it, great stuff!
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Time for the Laps Leaderboard.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42Who came out on top?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Well, I think those results are as we expected.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Wild Racers, you got 15,
0:21:54 > 0:21:57so you go through with the time advantage to the dad fight.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Congratulations. Well done.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Area 51, again, you have got through to the next round.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06You're going into the dad fight with 9, which is a great score.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07Good stuff.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Unfortunately, we are going to have to say goodbye to Team Ace.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Steve, Marcus, you guys were excellent, but...
0:22:13 > 0:22:15You're grounded.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16CHEERING
0:22:19 > 0:22:22It's big daddy dogfight time.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24You know the rules - don't get burnt.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Fire some lasers, dodge lasers,
0:22:27 > 0:22:30don't mess with those mean resident drones,
0:22:30 > 0:22:32hit your opponent four times.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Do all of the above, and victory will be yours!
0:22:37 > 0:22:39This is it.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Our two remaining teams are about to battle it out in search of glory.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46But who's going to be joining them in the combat zone?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49It's the DRAGON.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53The don, the duke, the daddy of the drones.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Older than Team Ace, grumpier than Will's mum,
0:22:57 > 0:22:59a fireball of a temper,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02to match Rachel when she's had her biscuits pinched.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05So, teams, you know the drill.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07If you stray into the no-fly zone, the DRAGON may engage.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11And that's not something you want to happen.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13This is the point where we usually ask the children
0:23:13 > 0:23:15to say some final words to each other.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16But this time, dads,
0:23:16 > 0:23:20we want to know, have you got any final words for the opposing team?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23I'm banking on my incredible run of luck to continue
0:23:23 > 0:23:25and he's going to go down in flames.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Oh, down in flames!
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Well, I was going to wish him good luck, really.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32I think he's going to need it!
0:23:32 > 0:23:36Oh, OK! Turned it on its head just at the last moment.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38I can see you're all itching to get out there
0:23:38 > 0:23:39and start firing those lasers.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41So, aviators, stand by.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46Right, then, dad dogfight.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Wild Racers and Area 51,
0:23:48 > 0:23:53the two mightiest dads to ever fly an Airmageddon drone.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59Wild Racers launch in three, two, one!
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Simon and Wild Racers have the five-second advantage.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05They're up, they're away,
0:24:05 > 0:24:07heading straight for that all-important gate.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Systems activated.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Michael and Area 51 take to the skies.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Whoa!
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- I'm so excited I nearly fell down the stairs.- Crikey, Will!
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Area 51 - systems activated.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24OK, so we're in the air, we're fully armed.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- He's got to face the right way. - Area 51 need to turn about.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31You don't stand much of a chance facing the wrong way.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32OK, Rory?
0:24:34 > 0:24:37There it is, one hit.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38Yes.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41A quick look from the Air Marshall cam
0:24:41 > 0:24:44tells us Area 51 have been lasered not once, but twice!
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Double trouble!
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Turn, turn, turn!
0:24:50 > 0:24:53He's got round, he's got round.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Down, down, down!
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Brandon's super power will give the ability to fly.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05I bet Michael wishes he was a super flyer. Perhaps he is!
0:25:05 > 0:25:07They have pulled one back. 2-1!
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Both Michael and Simon flying at altitude.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13The lack of oxygen perhaps hampered Simon's reactions.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Area 51 are back in!
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Both teams sizing each other up.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Simon finds a weakness!
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Wild Racers go into the lead, 3-1!
0:25:24 > 0:25:26This is tense!
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Right, forwards, forwards.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Simon certainly has an advantage, racing models since he was eight.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35Could that be a secret? 40 years of training?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Forwards, forwards, forwards!
0:25:39 > 0:25:40What's this?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42While I waffle on,
0:25:42 > 0:25:47Michael swoops in and unleashes his laser talent upon the Wild Racers.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Wow!
0:25:49 > 0:25:503-2, this is exciting!
0:25:50 > 0:25:54The Wild Racers and Area 51 line each other up in their sights,
0:25:54 > 0:25:57but it was Michael, Brandon and Area 51
0:25:57 > 0:25:59who were quickest to the draw.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05DRAGON, still fuelled up on that vindaloo, enjoying the sights.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Area 51 on the offensive.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12Michael going all out for the win, lets off a volley of shots.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14They all missed!
0:26:14 > 0:26:16He needs to be careful. But he isn't.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Oh, my goodness!
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Dogfight over.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24- Dogfight over.- Dogfight is done.
