0:00:02 > 0:00:03'Welcome to Airmageddon,
0:00:03 > 0:00:06'the ultimate test of airborne skill.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08'Four teams and their flying machines
0:00:08 > 0:00:10'are about to go head-to-head
0:00:10 > 0:00:14'over a series of three epically tough challenges.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16'Each game will see one team grounded,
0:00:16 > 0:00:21'and just one team will make it through to the semifinals.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24'Here, in our purpose-built airena, they'll face each other
0:00:24 > 0:00:26'and our resident drones,
0:00:26 > 0:00:31'a fleet of ferocious unmanned aerial vehicles
0:00:31 > 0:00:34'programmed to shock and awe.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36'But who will survive?
0:00:36 > 0:00:39'Who will be crowned master of the skies?
0:00:39 > 0:00:45'Aviators, stand by, this is Airmageddon!'
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Welcome to the airena.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Prepare yourselves for spectacles of aerial audacity...
0:01:08 > 0:01:10..for feats of elevated daring...
0:01:10 > 0:01:12..and laugh-out-loud moments of catastrophe.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Four magnificent teams...
0:01:14 > 0:01:15..and their flying machines...
0:01:15 > 0:01:17..are about to go into battle...
0:01:17 > 0:01:19..but only one will survive
0:01:19 > 0:01:22and earn themselves a place in our semifinals.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- BOTH:- So, let's meet our aviators.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26'Yes, indeed.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30'First through the airena doors, it's the Hopping Hornets.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33'Hot on their heels, it's Girls Squad-Drone.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35'Next up, it's the Dronehawkz,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38'and finally, the Flying Scotsmen.'
0:01:41 > 0:01:43So we've have met our teams.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45And now it's time for my friend,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49the personalised interactive gyrocopter, AKA the Pig,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51to show them how the course works.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59'Here is our expert Pig on a test flight of this obstacle course,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02'similar to school sports days but with state-of-the-art drones.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05'One lap of our vast airena,
0:02:05 > 0:02:07'aviators must throttle off the launchpad,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10'then fly through the first narrow gate.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14'Next, it's the Hurdles of Horror, a tricky traverse under
0:02:14 > 0:02:16'and over the coloured bars,
0:02:16 > 0:02:20'through gate two and the Pillars of Precision, and on to gate three.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22'Then it's the Vortex,
0:02:22 > 0:02:26'pitch forward into the heart of the Turbulent Tornado,
0:02:26 > 0:02:30'wrestle with the controls as you deal with 100mph winds.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35'Blown up and out, you then dash through the fourth gate
0:02:35 > 0:02:36'and over the finish line.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40'Too hot to trot, Pig, that was awesome.'
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Thanks, Pig.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45My personalised interactive gyrocopter, there.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47He made that look easy,
0:02:47 > 0:02:51but one of these guys is going to make it look a whole lot harder.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01'A W.A.S.P, or weaponised assault ship,
0:03:01 > 0:03:04'functions as an attack patrol and rapid response unit
0:03:04 > 0:03:05'in the airena.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10'Fast, agile and quite literally with a sting in its tail.'
0:03:10 > 0:03:15So, the air assault course is set and awaiting its first victims...
0:03:15 > 0:03:17I mean, teams!
0:03:17 > 0:03:19So let's get them up here. It's the Girls Squad-Drone.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23'Yes, leading out the teams today is Girls Squad-Drone.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25'12-year-old aviator Phoebe
0:03:25 > 0:03:27'is at the controls, with best friend and wingman Freya
0:03:27 > 0:03:29'by her side.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31'Nothing says "we mean business"
0:03:31 > 0:03:33'quite like an angry-looking red drone.'
0:03:33 > 0:03:36You're ready to go but you are first.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Does that feel like extra pressure, Phoebe?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41A little bit, but we don't actually know how the others do anyway.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44That's a good point, and you'll get to enjoy watching them
0:03:44 > 0:03:45and hoping they get a slower time.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Do you reckon you will set the fastest?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Er...it depends.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52It depends. She's philosophical.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Are you ready, though? Yeah?
0:03:54 > 0:03:55- Yeah.- All right, then.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Aviators, stand by!
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Fire up your motors, rev up your rotors.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04'Thanks, Will. First to go,
0:04:04 > 0:04:06'Girls Squad-Drone.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08'I think they may well set a record here.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11'They are the first to go, after all. They have some pitfalls,
0:04:11 > 0:04:13'not the least this big guy at the end.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17'And overseeing things, our Air Marshal to start.'
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Aviators, stand by in...
0:04:20 > 0:04:22three, two, one.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24'Up, up and away
0:04:24 > 0:04:27'towards this first obstacle,
0:04:27 > 0:04:28'the gate.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32'If she gets through this, no doubt the nerves
0:04:32 > 0:04:34'will be calmed a little bit.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38'Spot on.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40'Right through the centre.'
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Turn?
0:04:42 > 0:04:43No, not turning.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44OK.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Or not.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50'You have to circumnavigate this airena,
0:04:50 > 0:04:52'but not exactly in a circular path.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55'Now she's into the Hurdles of Horror.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00'Through the centre, back up again, gaining altitude
0:05:00 > 0:05:03'towards gate two.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07'Magnificent flying.'
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Grid down.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12'Drop in altitude about ten metres here
0:05:12 > 0:05:15'as she goes through the Pillars of Precision.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18'There's some difficult air currents
0:05:18 > 0:05:19'near the bottom of this airena.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25'Hits the thrust, back up to gate three.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30'And again, very clinical,
0:05:30 > 0:05:34'but here comes the trickiest bit of the entire lap,
0:05:34 > 0:05:35'the Vortex.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37'100-mile-an-hour winds,
0:05:37 > 0:05:39'you must go on under the red lines.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41'And back out through the top.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42'Phoebe looks solid.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Oh, my goodness, the Air Marshal's gone down!'
0:05:45 > 0:05:46OK.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49'Well, well, well!
0:05:49 > 0:05:52'I didn't expect that.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55'There'll be some blushes from him, that's for sure.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56'Let's hope he's OK.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00'Phoebe, though, still has
0:06:00 > 0:06:03'the dash through gate four
0:06:03 > 0:06:05'and the W.A.S.P. to deal with.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08'Here comes the sting.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10'Smoke, size,
0:06:10 > 0:06:12'but she's got the speed.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16'One way...and the other...
0:06:16 > 0:06:19'Yes, she's over the line!
0:06:19 > 0:06:21'That was a tremendous time!'
0:06:21 > 0:06:23We didn't crash!
0:06:23 > 0:06:27'No, you didn't at all, but the Air Marshal did.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30'Let's have a little look through some of the sections.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34'Highlights, more like lowlights for the Air Marshal.'
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Girls, how was that?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Really good, I'm really happy.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- Freya?- Yeah, that was great.
0:06:40 > 0:06:4301:50. I can tell you something, that is fast.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Did you have any tactics going into it?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Not crash.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Well, you didn't crash so, whoohoo, girls!
0:06:49 > 0:06:53'Yeah, great stuff, girls.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54'Next up it's the Dronehawkz.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56'Ten-year-old aviator Michael
0:06:56 > 0:06:58'partners with wingman dad Mike,
0:06:58 > 0:06:59'who's a real-life pilot.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02'I wonder if he's ever drawn a set of razor-sharp teeth
0:07:02 > 0:07:04'on one of his planes.'
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Now, Michael,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10I hear you are pretty nifty with the old Irish dancing moves?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Yeah.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15So, if you do really well in this, will you give us a little jig...
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- Definitely.- ..afterwards?
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Are you confident you will be giving us a little jig afterwards?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- I will, yeah.- Excellent.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Mike, as we heard earlier, you are a professional pilot.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Are you going to be OK at not being at the controls
0:07:27 > 0:07:29and being a kind of back-seat flyer?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Yes, definitely, all the pressure will be on Michael today.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33- I'm pleased about that.- OK!
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Good, he likes keeping pressure on his son.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37All right, then.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Aviators, stand by.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45'Now we get under way, there is Pig.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48'He is our forced substitution for the Air Marshal
0:07:48 > 0:07:51'who is being pieced back together in the workshop.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54'Remember the two Mikes have no idea
0:07:54 > 0:07:56'whether the Girls Squad-Drone
0:07:56 > 0:07:58'set a world record time or crashed out.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01'They'll need to put that out of their minds
0:08:01 > 0:08:03'and just go as fast as they can.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05'And there we go!
0:08:05 > 0:08:07'Pitching forward,
0:08:07 > 0:08:11'up towards the first of four gates.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13'And there is Girls Squad-Drone
0:08:13 > 0:08:16'Wondering how their time will hold up.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19'Just finding the right altitude.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23'Father Michael, the wingman, watching on intently.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26'A pilot, you wonder just how much advice he will give here.'
0:08:26 > 0:08:27- Over?- Over.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- Safe?- Safe.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30And down safe.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32'Safe. I like the terminology
0:08:32 > 0:08:37'and it was indeed as they go on to the Hurdles of Horror.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44'That was very safe.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49'That may just take a little too much time
0:08:49 > 0:08:51'if they take a long route like that.'
0:08:51 > 0:08:52A bit higher?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54A bit higher.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59'Very close to the bottom of the gate.'
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Down and forward a little bit to us.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04'The Pillars of Precision
0:09:04 > 0:09:06'and spot on, there.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09'Climbing altitude, gate three.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13'No problems.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Almost three-quarters of the way
0:09:14 > 0:09:16'round, but here is the trickiest bit.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- MIKE:- Lower, lower.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20'The dreaded Vortex.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25'In through the bottom, there's the 100-mile-an hour-winds.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28'Very stable piloting!
0:09:29 > 0:09:31'Most impressive,
0:09:31 > 0:09:33'but is it quick enough?
0:09:34 > 0:09:40'Through the final gate and then the W.A.S.P. to face.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42'Yes, through the finish line.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44'He still has to get past the W.A.S.P.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46'Look at the time, it's over two minutes!
0:09:46 > 0:09:50'I'm afraid it's outside the time set by the Girls Squad-Drone.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55'Well, great airmanship then,
0:09:55 > 0:10:00'the two Mikes were on the same frequency, definitely.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Well done, guys!
0:10:02 > 0:10:05You looked super-cool out there, but where you feeling super-cool?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Kind of. Could have done a little bit better,
0:10:07 > 0:10:08but I'm happy with what I did.
0:10:08 > 0:10:1002:05. I can confirm that puts you
0:10:10 > 0:10:15into second place cos the Girls Squadron got 01:50.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18but that's a brilliant time. You're in good position.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20'Putting a good spin on it, there, Rachel.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23'But no Irish jig, I suspect.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24'A little disappointment.'
0:10:27 > 0:10:30'Yes, confirmation. 01:50 for Girls Squad-Drone.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33'15 seconds ahead of the Dronehawkz,
0:10:33 > 0:10:35'who are in the drop zone,
0:10:35 > 0:10:39'but two teams to come. Whosever bottom will be grounded
0:10:39 > 0:10:42'and out.'
0:10:42 > 0:10:45We are quite literally flying through this challenge now.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48We've got two more teams to go, so let's get the next one up here.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50It's the Flying Scotsmen!
0:10:50 > 0:10:53'The Flying Scotsmen I led out by ten-year-old aviator
0:10:53 > 0:10:54'Alexander,
0:10:54 > 0:10:57'with dad Robert as his wingman.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59'Their drone is called The Tartan Terror
0:10:59 > 0:11:02'and comes with this year's must-have for drones,
0:11:02 > 0:11:03'a beard.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06'Reminds me of my uncle.'
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Alexander, I have to say,
0:11:07 > 0:11:10I have seen a lot of drones and yours is definitely
0:11:10 > 0:11:12one of the best. Just talk me through it.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Well, it's got a 3-D effect of eyes and nose
0:11:15 > 0:11:16and then it has the beard and hat.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19The beard and hat is great, and what is really great,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22if you were to put a hat on our cameraman, Pete,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25he would look exactly the same as your drone!
0:11:25 > 0:11:26'But not as handsome.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28'Joining the action, then,
0:11:28 > 0:11:30'coming towards gate number two.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34'So far, steady.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35'No mistakes,
0:11:35 > 0:11:39'though perhaps not the quickest of runs.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43'This father-son duo -
0:11:43 > 0:11:47'they must use all of their concentration now.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53'Try and pick up the pace a little bit and that is exactly
0:11:53 > 0:11:55'what they are doing.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57'Coming towards the Vortex.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02'The trickiest part of this course.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04'Oh, goodness!'
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Ooh, ooh!
0:12:07 > 0:12:10'Just losing altitude with the turbulence.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12'Did he clip the ground?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15'There is no penalty if you do,
0:12:15 > 0:12:19'but it certainly doesn't make things any easier, that's for sure.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23'Well, now into the vortex.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26'Let's hope his confidence isn't riding low. No!
0:12:26 > 0:12:28'Actually that was well dealt with.'
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- ROBERT:- Right towards us again.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Towards us, towards us!
0:12:33 > 0:12:36'Dad taking a little more control here.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39'Helping navigation now.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41'Once he comes through this fourth and final gate
0:12:41 > 0:12:44'he has the W.A.S.P. to deal with.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46'Picking his gap.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49'Goes towards and charges him!
0:12:49 > 0:12:53'Sells him a dummy and side swerves over the finish line.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56'Well, the time not as good as the others,
0:12:56 > 0:12:59'but still a good finish.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02'Look at this, face down the W.A.S.P.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05'In thrust we trust, and over the finish.'
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Alexander, how did you find that one?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Yeah, it was quite tricky at some points.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11I almost hit the W.A.S.P.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13It just had to duck.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Were you trying to take him out, take him of the course?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18I was just trying to slow down after the hoop.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21He was annoying you, you needed your fly spray up there
0:13:21 > 0:13:22to hit him out the way.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Let's go and see how The Hovering Hornetz get on, shall we?
0:13:26 > 0:13:30'After all that excitement, the leaderboard is shaping up like this.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34'Girls Squad-Drone still on top with 01:50.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38'15 seconds back from there, the Dronehawkz in second,
0:13:38 > 0:13:40'and for The Flying Scotsmen,
0:13:40 > 0:13:43'I'm afraid they're in the drop zone.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46'Wanting to avoid that drop zone is The Hovering Hornetz,
0:13:46 > 0:13:48'our final duo,
0:13:48 > 0:13:50'piloted by aviator Cameron
0:13:50 > 0:13:52'and wingman Cam.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54'I wonder if their drone
0:13:54 > 0:13:56'is a distant cousin of our very own W.A.S.P.'
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Cam, Cam - The Hovering Hornetz, how are you feeling?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- Good, yeah.- You feeling good?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Yep, just a bit nervous.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07You will be fine.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Our last team had a little run-in with the W.A.S.P.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Have you got a strategy for dealing with the W.A.S.P.?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Just try and ignore it and give it our best shot.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16And maybe he will be scared of you,
0:14:16 > 0:14:20because hornets are much more hardcore than wasps.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Good stuff, guys. Aviators, stand by.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Fire up your motors, rev up your rotors.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29PIG OINKS
0:14:29 > 0:14:31'The boys are buzzing,
0:14:31 > 0:14:34'The Hovering Hornetz,
0:14:34 > 0:14:36'overseen by Pig,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38'still standing in for our Air Marshal.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41'Hopefully, he doesn't make any "rasher" decisions.'
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Right, steady, steady.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47'The two Cams, I have to say,
0:14:47 > 0:14:49'have started quicker than anyone else here.'
0:14:49 > 0:14:52A bit...right and back.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01'A wee bit on the wild side. Yeah, that was close.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04'Let's see how close it was.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05'Centimetres away.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09'Let's hope they keep this together now.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11'If they do, it's going to be very fast.'
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Take your time on this one.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- Take your time, take your time. - Move along.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18'Sensible advice there from the wingman.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22'Through the next gate.'
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Drop, drop, drop.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26Move it on.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Forward a tiny bit.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34'Must drop the altitude to get through the Pillars of Precision.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- 'Oh...'- Oh!- 'Just losing control.' - Oh!
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- 'Oh, no!'- No, no!
0:15:39 > 0:15:42'Oh, it's the Pillars of Collision.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45'Did you see the way it went down? And in the end,
0:15:45 > 0:15:48'gravity will always be the winner.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50'Sent into a tailspin there.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53'Not quite sure what caused it,
0:15:53 > 0:15:57'but, my goodness, it was spectacular.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59'Heartbreaking for the boys, though, no doubt.'
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Unlucky, what went wrong there?
0:16:01 > 0:16:05- I was rushing it. - You were rushing it?- Yeah.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Wingman, I heard you saying, "Keep it steady, keep it steady."
0:16:08 > 0:16:13I think he was just going a bit too fast and thinking, "We can do this."
0:16:13 > 0:16:17- Yeah?- I think it should have been a bit slower cos...
0:16:17 > 0:16:20We just... It was unlucky.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Girls Squad-Drone on top in game one.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28Just behind, Dronehawkz.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32The Flying Scotsmen took third and I'm afraid in the drop zone,
0:16:32 > 0:16:35with a Did Not Finish, The Hovering Hornetz.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Cameron, Cam, you did really well to get this far
0:16:41 > 0:16:44but, unfortunately, after that crash, you guys are grounded.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49Well, one team leaves disappointed
0:16:49 > 0:16:53while three progress, ever more excited to be part of this
0:16:53 > 0:16:56airborne spectacle and nothing excites me more than
0:16:56 > 0:16:59a flyby from my personalised interactive gyrocopter.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Tell us all about the next challenge, Pig.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09'Well, this round is all about accuracy and agility.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13'Each team has five giant magnetic weights to pick up
0:17:13 > 0:17:16'and deposit to their coloured target zones.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19'The wingmen control the electromagnet for pick-up
0:17:19 > 0:17:20'and release.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23'Score a point for every weight dropped in the target area
0:17:23 > 0:17:27'but drop one on the airena floor and it is out of play.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30'And who's going to be joining our aviators in the airena?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34'It's the G.U.A.R.D.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37'Giant, unmanned aerial reconnaissance drone,
0:17:37 > 0:17:41'built to block, designed to deceive,
0:17:41 > 0:17:42'not to be messed with.'
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Do you think you're going to do well at this one?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49As long as I turn on the remote, then yes.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51In practice, she didn't turn on the remote
0:17:51 > 0:17:53so we thought something was wrong.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- Guys, this isn't boding well, is it? - BOTH:- No!
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Who are you most fearing out there, of the other two teams?
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- BOTH:- Both of them.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Ah... Good luck, team, you think you're going to need it.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06The drones are recharged, the propellers are re-oiled
0:18:06 > 0:18:08and the electromagnets are attached.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11I think this one is going to be quite the uplifting challenge.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- Who is ready for it? ALL:- We are!
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Excellent news. Now just remember,
0:18:15 > 0:18:18the team who comes last will sadly be grounded
0:18:18 > 0:18:21but the team who wins will go through to the Dogfight
0:18:21 > 0:18:24with a time advantage. All right?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27All right. Aviators, stand by.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35- AIR MARSHAL:- Aviators, stand by in three, two, one.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39'Aviate, navigate and communicate, that is what this game is all about.
0:18:39 > 0:18:45'Wingman plays a key role here on the electromagnetic winch
0:18:45 > 0:18:49'and it is the green team - the Mikes - who are in first.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51'Dronehawkz, good job there.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53'Now, they must take it to the target zone.'
0:18:53 > 0:18:55- No, no, no, no.- Oh!
0:18:57 > 0:18:59'Oh, Reds, that was a bit of a fluff...
0:19:00 > 0:19:03'..from the team that won the very first game.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05'Good job there, though, the Dronehawkz.'
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes!
0:19:07 > 0:19:10'Now, can the Girls Squad-Drone come back from that?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14'The Flying Scotsmen in the middle there, the blue team.'
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Now, drop it, drop it, drop it.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- 'Very nice indeed.' - Yeah!- 'Yes, absolutely, Phoebe,
0:19:20 > 0:19:25'telling her friend and wingman, Freya, that she was over the area.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29'Now, The Flying Scotsmen are starting to look in trouble here.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32'They have knocked a couple of their weights off.'
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Oh...- 'They've only got five weights.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37'Ooh, that was a little messy by the Dronehawkz.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38'It's not lost on them either,
0:19:38 > 0:19:41'they actually managed to scoop her up and off the pin.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46'These almost get harder as the heights get higher.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51'Here's a good pick-up by The Scotsmen.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57'That was excellent but can they get it over the target zone?
0:19:57 > 0:20:01'As they go down, get lower, don't make a mistake.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03'Father Robert...
0:20:05 > 0:20:09'..good advice to his son, Alexander, who is piloting.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11'Spot on. Right in the middle.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15'A little messy there from The Dronehawkz
0:20:15 > 0:20:19'who perhaps are feeling the pressure of the other two catching.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20'It's all evens at the moment.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24'Down come the Dronehawkz again...
0:20:24 > 0:20:27'That was a little heavy-handed.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31'They didn't quite have the entire electromagnetic patch on the weight
0:20:31 > 0:20:35'but over on the right-hand side, look what's happening -
0:20:35 > 0:20:38'Girls Squad-Drone, they're starting to get their act together.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41'Oh...
0:20:42 > 0:20:45'Panic moment from The Flying Scotsmen and look what it is...
0:20:46 > 0:20:49'They didn't exactly have a great start.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53'Girls Squad-Drone right now in the lead.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56'Now, the Dronehawkz managing a good solid pick-up there.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59'Dad, absolutely spot on with the pick-up.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00'That's their final weight.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02'So too The Flying Scotsmen,
0:21:02 > 0:21:06'Well, who's going to get this one in the target zone first?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- 'Oh, goodness...'- Drop, drop, drop.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- 'Brilliant from the Dronehawkz.' - Yes!
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- AIR MARSHAL:- Green team land immediately.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16'They're on two, as are Girls Squad-Drone,
0:21:16 > 0:21:18'Flying Scotsmen accuracy...'
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- AIR MARSHAL:- Blue team, land immediately.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24'Brilliant stuff by them and the Greens and the Blues,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26'they have run out of weights.'
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- AIR MARSHAL:- Ten seconds remain.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31'Now, can Girls Squad-Drone make this three?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33'This is their last one.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36'A nice, outright win would be impressive.'
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- BUZZER RINGS - 'Just run out of time, I'm afraid.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42'Never mind, they still take the win
0:21:42 > 0:21:44'and they'll get a five-second advantage
0:21:44 > 0:21:47'going into the Dogfight, the final game.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49'That could be crucial.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55'Girls Squad-Drone take the win.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56'Everybody had two.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58'Dronehawkz second
0:21:58 > 0:22:03'and I'm afraid the slowest was The Flying Scotsmen. They're grounded.'
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Guys, it was amazingly close but because The Flying Scotsmen -
0:22:06 > 0:22:10you got your payload into the target area last - I'm afraid,
0:22:10 > 0:22:14that does mean that you guys are grounded.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19Dronehawkz, Girls Squad-Drone - you are both through to the Dogfight.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28'The Dogfight. Let's find out who'll reign supreme
0:22:28 > 0:22:30'in drone-on-drone combat,
0:22:30 > 0:22:33'as shown by Pig and W.A.S.P.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37'First, fly through the activation gates to power up
0:22:37 > 0:22:39'your advanced targeting system.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44'Successfully target your opponents' sensors and they lose a life.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49'Take all four lives and they're grounded.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50'It's as simple as that.'
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Our two finalists are about to battle it out in the combat zone.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01A place in the semifinal is at stake, which will be a shame
0:23:01 > 0:23:04for one team but fame for another.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05They face each other for victory
0:23:05 > 0:23:08whilst trying to avoid one of our resident drones.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Who's patrolling the combat zone this time?
0:23:14 > 0:23:17'He is back for an encore.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19'The G.U.A.R.D.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21'And he is taking no prisoners.'
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Now, teams, remember, if you stray into the no-fly zones,
0:23:26 > 0:23:28our resident drones may engage.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31And trust me, that will not be pretty.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33- But teams, are you ready? - ALL:- Yes!
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Excellent. Well, for the final time, start your pre-flight checks.
0:23:37 > 0:23:42Strap yourselves in, calibrate your sights, this is the Dogfight.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43You're cleared for takeoff.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48- AIR MARSHAL:- Air Marshal airborne.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Well, it all comes down to this -
0:23:50 > 0:23:52a head-to-head contest for the ultimate prize -
0:23:52 > 0:23:54a place in the semifinal.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00- AIR MARSHAL:- Girls Squad-Drone launch in three, two, one.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04They're all set to go, it's time for the Dogfight.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- AIR MARSHAL:- Dronehawkz launch.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Girls Squad-Drone - targeting systems engage.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13'The rules are simple - two drones enter, one drone leaves.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20'That five-second advantage for the red team - the Girls Squad-Drone.'
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- AIR MARSHAL:- Dronehawkz - targeting systems engage.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26'Activated their laser system all the earlier.'
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- SHE GASPS - What does that mean?
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- 'Dronehawkz now, though.' - Start shooting, Dad.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- 'Yes, they're sorted.' - Good.- 'The two Mikes.'
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Lower, lower. To the side. Get them.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- Shooting.- Got it? Shooting?
0:24:40 > 0:24:44'They get the first shots away - advanced targeting system.'
0:24:44 > 0:24:45And up a bit.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47'It's the wingman's job, actually.'
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- AIR MARSHAL:- Strike, green team.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52'First strike there, goes to the Reds...'
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- AIR MARSHAL:- Three lives remain.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56'..as it has done throughout this entire episode.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01'Girls Squad-Drone are looking magnificent.'
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- Keep forward, keep firing. - Keep going.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05Keep going.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07'Four lives is what you've got...
0:25:07 > 0:25:09'what you've got to protect.'
0:25:09 > 0:25:10Level.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12- 'Ooh, so close!'- Keep flying.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16'Dronehawkz had them in their sights, just too quick.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22'Phoebe is a magnificent pilot for the Reds, again drops down,
0:25:22 > 0:25:25'drives up, thrusts away just before she gets hit.'
0:25:25 > 0:25:27To your right, right.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31'They must be the two calmest people here.'
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- AIR MARSHAL:- Strike, green team. - 'Again!'
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Two lives remain.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38'Right now, they can't panic.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42'This is where dad Mike must just keep young Michael calm.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44'As a professional pilot himself....
0:25:46 > 0:25:51'..he is no doubt well versed in what could go wrong.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- AIR MARSHAL:- Altitude warning, altitude warning.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56'What's going on with our Air Marshal?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58'He's having another dizzy turn.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01'My goodness, this isn't the best day for him.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04'He's not meant to be in the drama.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07'He's meant to be keeping things right.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09'The Greens taking their chance.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14'Keep missing by what I would say was a country mile.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17'It's aerial artistry here by the Reds.'
0:26:17 > 0:26:19- AIR MARSHAL:- Strike, green team.
0:26:19 > 0:26:20We got hit.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24'And yes, just one life now for the Dronehawkz.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26'Oh, goodness.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27'And they're chasing.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30'This isn't going to last long at this pace.'
0:26:30 > 0:26:32The face of concentration!
0:26:32 > 0:26:36'Ha! Time for a joke, I don't believe it.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39'One more hit away from making the semifinal.'
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- Oh, no! - AIR MARSHAL:- Strike, green team.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- 'And they've done it.' - AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:26:48 > 0:26:52'Well, it is an unforgiving crucible, the airena
0:26:52 > 0:26:56'and I'm afraid for the Greens, we say goodbye.'
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- What a battle. - It's boiling in here.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01- That was pretty tense up here. - It is boiling in here.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04It's from all the flames out there and from the tension.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07You guys, it took you a long time to break them down
0:27:07 > 0:27:08but I think we have a winner.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Let's get confirmation from the Air Marshal.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12- AIR MARSHAL:- Scores.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16'Yes, indeed, victorious 4-0 was Girls Squad-Drone,
0:27:16 > 0:27:19'but a great fight by the Dronehawkz.'
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Unfortunately, you're now grounded.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Congratulations to the day's winners,
