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