0:00:02 > 0:00:05Welcome to Airmageddon, the final heat before the semifinals.
0:00:05 > 0:00:10Four teams and their hi-tech drones face three aerial trials.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Each game, one team will be grounded
0:00:12 > 0:00:17and just one team will thrust, yaw and zap their way into the semis.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20But it's not just the other aces they face.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23A fleet of feisty resident drones,
0:00:23 > 0:00:25including WASP,
0:00:25 > 0:00:26DRAGON,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28and the GUARD.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31So just who will fly through to the semis?
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Aviators, wingmen,
0:00:33 > 0:00:38prepare yourselves for a half-hour of rotoristic, quadtastic power.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42- This is Airmageddon.- Yes!
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Welcome to Flight Airmageddon,
0:01:07 > 0:01:10your transatlantic trip of a lifetime.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Our cruising altitude will be over-the-top
0:01:12 > 0:01:16and you can expect some mild turbulence during the exciting bits.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Oxygen masks will be deployed in the event of an emergency.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22And exits can be found here, here and here.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23But you won't be going anywhere,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26not when you've got three rounds of drone-on-drone action to enjoy
0:01:26 > 0:01:28as part of your in-flight entertainment.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Let's meet our aviators.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Please welcome out our teams for this final heat.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36First up, it's Team Vertigo in red.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38The Falcon Brothers in yellow.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Suffolk Air Squad in green.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43And Team Quadrasoar in blue.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50They're always confident at the start, but it never lasts.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53It doesn't, but those are our teams and, first up, it's Team Vertigo
0:01:53 > 0:01:55who'll be showing us what they're made of up there
0:01:55 > 0:01:58with some precision flying against the clock.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Yep, and to show them the way,
0:01:59 > 0:02:03here's our PIG - Personalised Interactive Gyrocopter.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Take it away, PIG.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Aviators beware. One lap of this air assault course
0:02:12 > 0:02:14is trickier than a magician's sleeve.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17If you beat it, you must be some kind of flying sorcerer.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Four rotor-snagging gates. Three Hurdles of Horror.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Two Pillars of Precision.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29One windy Vortex.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35And a vicious drone awaiting all who dare enter the air-ena.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Beware of nerves,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40or you'll end up slower than a herd of snails in peanut butter.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Of course, PIG makes it look easy,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46but that couldn't be further from the truth,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48and to turn something that's difficult
0:02:48 > 0:02:50into something that's almost impossible,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52let's see who'll be up there with them
0:02:52 > 0:02:54from amongst our resident drones.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58'It's the DRAGON.'
0:02:58 > 0:03:01No, it's not your school headmistress, but almost as scary.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05It's the Direct Response Aerial Gyrocopter, DRAGON.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08One blast from his breath and you'll say goodbye
0:03:08 > 0:03:11to your drone's fancy paint job.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15First to tackle the air assault course is Team Vertigo.
0:03:15 > 0:03:1712-year-old hat-loving Oscar is our aviator.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19He's helped by wing-mum Tanya.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Oscar has a 3-D printer at home
0:03:21 > 0:03:24and he made his snazzy drone's design with it.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Let's hope it comes with some serious UV protection.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28So, you guys are up first.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Do you reckon that's going to be an advantage, or maybe a disadvantage?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34I think it's probably going to be an advantage, cos we'll set the pace
0:03:34 > 0:03:37and we won't have to painfully wait for other people to finish.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Yeah, you just fly your own race and then you're the ones to beat.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Tanya, have you been practising your wing-mum strategy?
0:03:44 > 0:03:46The strategy is "don't say too much".
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Oh, really?- Yes, definitely. - Has that come from the top?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Sort of. For certain challenges, yes.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55But for certain challenges, we'll be talking a lot.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56OK. Aviators, stand by.
0:03:58 > 0:04:03Welcome to our cauldron of dreams here in the air-ena.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Welcome to the DRAGON's den, if you like.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08And good morning, Air Marshall. How are you?
0:04:08 > 0:04:09DISTORTED ELECTRONIC VOICE
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Your voice chip sounds a little croaky, sir.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13'Affirmative.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16'Lift-off, three, two, one.'
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Air Marshall sounded a little hoarse.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Very confident throttle up there from Oscar.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23If Oscar flies half as cool as he looks,
0:04:23 > 0:04:25I think this could be a good run.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Nice, Oscar. Nice and steady.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29He is, indeed, a cool customer.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Mind the gap as you take that first gate.- Go down, down.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Keen photographer Tanya
0:04:34 > 0:04:37keeping Oscar focused on the mission at hand.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Vertigo take on the Hurdles of Horror. They show no mercy!
0:04:40 > 0:04:42But they're through.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Hip, hip, hooray!
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- Perfect.- Looking pretty good as they bank towards the second gate.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Well done. Nice.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Nice indeed. Now to the ancient Pillars of Precision.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56They've stood here testing drone pilots for many days.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Pretty cool. Pretty confident. Pretty smooth.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01'Warning. System malfunction. Air Marshall down.'
0:05:01 > 0:05:04It's unbelievable, the Air Marshall's down.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Perhaps he did have a virus.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Our antique adjudicator of the air,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12aka the Lyrical Linesman himself, has stooped it.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Poor old Air Marshall's making a habit of this.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19It's not the first time he's had a funny turn, you know.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- OK, let's do this.- OK, OK. Yeah.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Well, on to the Vortex. Oscar did well to keep cool there.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27This Vortex, so vicious,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30it makes a hurricane look like a warm summer's breeze.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33But can he pass the lurking DRAGON?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Ooh, he pinches through the final gate.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38The DRAGON'S getting fired up.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39Beautiful!
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Can they pass?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Too hot to trot.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46The only thing old draggy-poos can do is watch.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Oscar sets the pace. A brilliant time.
0:05:49 > 0:05:501.16.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Not even letting our malfunctioning Air Marshall put him off.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55He'll be in the best hands possible.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58PIG'll be there with his ham-bulance in just a second.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Vertigo, amazing. High-five.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02That seemed like it went really smoothly for you.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- I think it did. It went very well. - Yeah? 1.16. Happy with the time?
0:06:05 > 0:06:081.16, yeah. I think that's quite good. I'm pleased with it.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11I'll tell you, it's very good.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Second up, it's the Falcon Brothers.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18Throttle demon Luke is our aviator, and his wingman, brother James.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I guess they don't have a 3-D printer like Oscar,
0:06:20 > 0:06:23but looks aren't always everything.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25That's what my mum tells me, anyway.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Luke, now, you're a sports guy.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30What kind of skills can you bring from the sporting arena
0:06:30 > 0:06:31to this air-ena?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Well, I'm very competitive, so...
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Not too competitive, wingman James?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Well, he does get a bit competitive sometimes,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41so I have to dial him down a bit, keep him calm, collected,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- and then we can win this. - Exactly! Cool your jets, buster.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46If you're too competitive, you might crash out, and we don't want that.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- All right, are you ready? - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50All right, then, aviators, stand by.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53With the Air Marshall in A&E,
0:06:53 > 0:06:58the DRAGON will be controlling the air-ena skies on his own now.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Falcon brothers could be toasted marshmallow at the end of this.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- And they're up. - And they throttle away.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Team Vertigo look on with Rach.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15The Falcon brothers don't know the previous time.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Well, Luke and James, quite the rugby players, I hear.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- Scrum down, fellas. - Now down, down. Down we go.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Slowly. Keep going.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Right, now we're down, we're down. Careful.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Looking a little shaky there going through the hurdles.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34There we go. Now up. Up. Oh, careful, watch out.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Ooh, he's hit one.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38He throttled up a bit early and struck the hurdle.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42This falcon's had its wings clipped good and proper.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Higher.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46That could spell the end for these two, but they valiantly carry on,
0:07:46 > 0:07:48pitching into gate two.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50That was closer than two coats of paint.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Watch out, watch out.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Falcon brothers are way out of control here.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58The wingman's comments are about as useful as an inflatable dartboard.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- That's fine. - I don't think it's fine.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05The antique adjudicator isn't here to warn them. They're going wide.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Guys!
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Oh, no!
0:08:10 > 0:08:13You can see the props got busted up as he hit the wall,
0:08:13 > 0:08:16sending the drone into an uncontrollable spin.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18There was nothing they could do but watch and enjoy
0:08:18 > 0:08:23as they hurtled to the air-ena floor at near terminal velocity.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Well, that's an exaggeration, but that will hurt.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Anyone know a good body shop you can recommend?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32'What a crash. Scores confirmed.'
0:08:32 > 0:08:34What a crash, indeed.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37That did-not-finish puts the Falcon brothers in the drop zone.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Vertigo on top. Two teams still to come.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Just talk me through what happened.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44When we went under the second hurdle, I hit it,
0:08:44 > 0:08:46and then it was fine for a tiny bit,
0:08:46 > 0:08:49and then it suddenly just went out of control.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51That's probably where the propeller broke
0:08:51 > 0:08:53and then you just lost control.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- Do you think that's what happened? - Yeah.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- Do you think it was down to nerves? - A bit. Yeah.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Well, as it stands, it's not definite that you're out,
0:09:02 > 0:09:04because we've got two more teams to go, obviously,
0:09:04 > 0:09:06and anything can happen.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07And he who dares, wins.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Next up the SAS - not the Scandinavian Airline Service,
0:09:10 > 0:09:12the Suffolk Air Squad.
0:09:12 > 0:09:1611-year-old Guy is our aviator, and his wingman, his dad Richard.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17We hear Guy's a quick learner.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Let's hope he's learned what goes up should stay up.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22So, the Suffolk Air Squad,
0:09:22 > 0:09:25SAS, I notice that you put after your team name.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- And you're in military fatigues. - Yeah.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Do you reckon you can bring some military precision to this game?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- Definitely.- Yeah?
0:09:32 > 0:09:36I was trying to think of a sort of SAS-based pun earlier
0:09:36 > 0:09:38and I couldn't, and then you got one.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39What's your team motto?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Who airs wins.- Who airs wins!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45He's a comedy genius, and let's see how he flies.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47All right, guys, aviators, stand by.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Now, the SAS don't know what happened to the previous pair,
0:09:53 > 0:09:55probably for the best.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57I'm still catching my breath from it.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04Talking of breath, old draggy-poos is lingering at the end, awaiting.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08That's the signal, and the Suffolk Air Squad are away.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10What can they do?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13That's nice. Work your way round, work your way round.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Special air mission.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Pitching forward to the first gate.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- Through no problem.- Brilliant. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Changing altitude at the Hurdles of Horror with ease.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Wait. Going up.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30He makes them look like the Hurdles of Happiness. Nicely done.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Guy is aggressive, yawning his drone around, going for gate two.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Right... Going down.- Going down.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Try to orientate. Line it up first, Guy.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44He just sort of let himself just drop out of the sky,
0:10:44 > 0:10:45but it was quick.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Yes, indeed, Will.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49That tactic worked nicely, and they're past
0:10:49 > 0:10:51where the Falcon brothers crashed out.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Now, to the vicious Vortex.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Bit more, bit more, bit more, bit more.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Now straight up, straight up. Straight up.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00No problemo with the Vortex.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Now, can they beat the DRAGON?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04He's ready to huff and puff,
0:11:04 > 0:11:06but if you want to be the man,
0:11:06 > 0:11:08you must beat the drone.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Go, go, go, go, go. Great round, mate.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Guy does it. He leaves the DRAGON "drone alone".
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Guy was a bit shaky going into the Vortex, but held his nerve.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25He embarrassed the DRAGON by flying past him like he wasn't there.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26'Scores...'
0:11:26 > 0:11:28That controlled flight from Guy
0:11:28 > 0:11:31sees the Suffolk Air Squad in second place,
0:11:31 > 0:11:33behind Team Vertigo, who are on top.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36The Falcon brothers might be the ones getting grounded.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37They're in the drop zone.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- How was that for you? - That was the scariest thing.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Maybe we have Scary Safe Suffolk Air Squad.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I thought you did really well.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Richard, wingman, did you provide a lot of help out there?
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Well, not sure about much help, but, yes, just a few words
0:11:50 > 0:11:53of encouragement, but I think I was more nervous than Guy.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Our final guns for aerial punishment are Team Quadrasoar.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Aviator Rohith at the controls, brother Sid his wingman.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Rohith likes to go gliding in his spare time.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Sounds dangerous to me.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07I prefer Twister with the Air Marshall.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10So, you're last up, last to go.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12That's a big challenge, book-ending this one.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- Do you reckon you're up for it? - Yeah, I think so.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I think we have as much of a chance as any other of the teams.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19You certainly do,
0:12:19 > 0:12:22and you're definitely the smiliest contestant we've had so far
0:12:22 > 0:12:24so you're making the whole thing enjoyable.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28All right, let's see how you get on. Aviators, stand by.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Well, smiles won't help you when you're facing this beast.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34He doesn't have the brain capacity for niceties.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37If brains were dynamite, he couldn't blow his nose!
0:12:37 > 0:12:39But he might torch the paint off your drone.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41BUZZING SOUND
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Up throttle, Quadrasoar!
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Steady.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Now, how quick will these boys go? - Slow down, slow down.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Only three teams progress.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53They have no idea, of course, how the others did.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Steady start so far.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00OK. OK, come this way a bit, don't go too far.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Yeah, not too fast.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Very steady.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Indeed. Steady Eddie Rohith.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Too steady.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09Go back a bit. I think you need to go back a bit.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Go back.- Careful.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- Goodness me! - He still didn't need it.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Try and centre yourself, go towards the middle a bit more.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- The wingman's getting involved a lot here.- Yeah.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Yes, well, I think you're going to miss the manicure.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Go this way, so this isn't...
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Behave.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30So, into the vortex...
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Yeah, below the red.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33OK, now straight up.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Before it's DRAGON'S bedtime anyway.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37By this one!
0:13:37 > 0:13:40If there was a prize for control, they'd win, for sure.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43But that's not what it's all about. It's a time trial, fellas.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44Faster, faster!
0:13:44 > 0:13:47The DRAGON's even trying to speed them along.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48Ah!
0:13:48 > 0:13:51OK, DRAGON, off to bed, big boy. Beaten again.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56Well, check out this go-steady gliding by our gliders.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59We didn't even have to use slow motion, that was real time.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01A job well done.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05'Airsault times confirmed.'
0:14:05 > 0:14:09It's Team Vertigo who bossed it. The Air Marshall, he lost it.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Suffolk Air Squad, unbelievably through with Quadrasoar.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Sadly the Falcon Brothers are grounded.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19You're through to the next round, how does it feel?
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Really good.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23I tried to keep myself calm so I wouldn't do anything risky.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Yeah? You kept yourself very calm. You didn't take any risks,
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- although you did kind of come quite close to one of the hurdles.- Yeah.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- How was that for you? - Yeah, it was good.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33I was trying to get him a bit more competitive,
0:14:33 > 0:14:35more excited, but I liked how calm he was.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Yeah. Word of advice, in the next round,
0:14:38 > 0:14:42- you might need to have a little bit more urgency, shall we say...- Sure.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44..because there are some quick teams out there.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45But you made it, you're through.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Well done, Quadrasnore... Quadrasoar.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
0:14:51 > 0:14:54So we do know that means that unfortunately, Falcon Brothers,
0:14:54 > 0:14:56you are officially grounded.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Thank you so much, you were great.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04So we started with four teams and now we've lost one of them,
0:15:04 > 0:15:06which under normal circumstances would be careless,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09but there's nothing normal about these circumstances.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Teams of aviators competing with customised drones
0:15:12 > 0:15:14could never be described as normal.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Neither can a flying pig.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19PIG, what are our surviving teams facing next?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Time to pull in the pork.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24It's Piggy.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Our aviators have customised their drones
0:15:27 > 0:15:29with powerful paintball projectors.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32They must use these to hit their row of targets
0:15:32 > 0:15:35and score as many points as possible.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Three points for hitting the red, two for the white
0:15:38 > 0:15:39and one for the black.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45Communication is key, as the wingman is activating the projector.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49But remember, you can only hit each target a maximum of two times.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Team Vertigo. Oscar, how are you feeling about this?
0:15:55 > 0:15:56In fact, actually, you know what?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58I'm going to ask your wing-mum how she's feeling,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00because, I don't mean to worry you,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03but this game is probably the one in which the wing-mum,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06dad, man, woman plays the biggest part, plays the biggest role.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Nerve-wracking.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Well, we did all right in the last one, surprisingly.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13I think we were pretty on target, so I feel confident.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16That's good because this time it's all about being on target.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- Yeah.- All right? Good stuff. SAS.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Funny guy Guy over there, are you excited?
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Yeah, definitely.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Yeah? You look excited. How are you feeling about it, wing-dad?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28A bit nervous, as I've got a part to play this time.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Yeah? Is your trigger finger ready and waiting?
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Yeah, raring to go.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- Itching.- Itching.- All right. OK, and now, Quadrasoars.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41Now, you were undoubtedly the slowest in the airsault course
0:16:41 > 0:16:42but you were very precise,
0:16:42 > 0:16:45so do you think this challenge could suit your flying style?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Well, it's definitely better for us,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49cos we're more about precision rather than speed.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51I think the same with my wingman.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54All right, then. Well, let's see how it goes.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- Are we ready, guys?- ALL: Yeah.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59All right, then. Aviators, stand by.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Fire up your motors.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Rev up your rotors.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06You're clear for take-off.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Why, thank you, Will. Yes, The Wasp is in on this game.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Good to see the Air Marshall back from the drone hospital.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Welcome back, sir.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17'Systems back up to 100%.'
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Are you sure, sir?- 'Affirmative.'
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Marvellous. Then we shall begin.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23'Calibrate your projectors.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27'Lift-off in three, two, one...'
0:17:29 > 0:17:30And off go our teams,
0:17:30 > 0:17:34competing for those two places in the dog-fight.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Drones with paintball projectors. I love it!
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Everyone seems to have sussed out that this is all about being
0:17:40 > 0:17:43slow, being steady, being still and getting those targets.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Yeah, like, whatever, Will. It's about going fast!
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Who's going to get the first one?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Up, up, up. A bit more up.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51On board with Team Vertigo.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Great shot! Two points. Try another.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Did it hit?
0:17:57 > 0:17:58No, it missed. It was close, though.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00This is a serious challenge.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04All the teams have to fly their drones nose-left.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Who knows what that means?
0:18:06 > 0:18:07Whoa!
0:18:07 > 0:18:08Oh, Guy's in trouble.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11He's clipped the targets.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Hits it, sends the drone in a spin.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18He's done a great job getting that back under control.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Come back towards the number two, come back towards number two.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22I can't...see!
0:18:22 > 0:18:25I advise an optometrist. Or keep your eyes open.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Quadrasnore... They're going backwards.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Interesting tactics, fellas.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Hey, watch the drone. Don't watch the TV.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34'Warning. Erratic flying.'
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Erratic flying? You can talk, Air Marshall, after your earlier antics.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40'Affirmative.'
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Quadrasoar are back up, though.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Two of them still to score anything.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Close from the SAS.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47Fire, fire, fire. Now!
0:18:47 > 0:18:50No, you're just... Back a bit, back a bit.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Now.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Winner winner, chicken dinner. It's a hit.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Can Quadrascore soar?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58I mean, can Quadrasoar score?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Watch...watch the drone, watch the drone.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03'Warning, control...'
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- The Air Marshall looks worried. - Come back.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Ooh, the Blues clip the target. Can they recover?
0:19:08 > 0:19:10No. Quadrasoar are going down.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Quadrasoar's down.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15It looks like certain extinction for Quadrasoarus.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Just getting a little too up close and personal with the target.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19'Drone unrecoverable.'
0:19:19 > 0:19:22It is unrecoverable. So's my career.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24It's not shooting.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25Oh, yes it is. Great shot.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Two more points.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Well done.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Vertigo and Suffolk Air Squad battling for the advantage
0:19:30 > 0:19:32in the dog-fight.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34Now, now, now, now.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36On board with Suffolk Air Squad here.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Ooh, they've hit the target, they're down.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42They've hit it again.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43It's OK. It's OK.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46The Greens are in a world of hurt, and there's no way out.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49'Motor damage. Drone unairworthy.'
0:19:49 > 0:19:50Something's hanging off.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Something's dangling.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55'Suffolk Air Squad, land immediately.'
0:19:55 > 0:19:56Shall I land?
0:19:56 > 0:19:57Yeah.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59'Drone too dangerous to fly.'
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Oh, it's not that bad. It's a mere flesh-wound.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03It's been absolute chaos out there.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Chaos is the word.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08We told you it was a tough game, and The Wasp likes to make it crazier.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09Don't worry, it's all right.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12No need to worry, Greens, you'll still be going on to the dog fight.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15You can see his drone took two big hits. It always hurts.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16It's just you, Vertigo.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Oh, it is, and that's two teams down.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Hey, get out of my way.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21What's the Air Marshall up to?
0:20:21 > 0:20:24He needs to get that circuit board checked.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25I'm going again.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26No, we're done, aren't we?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Let's try again.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31So, it's just the Reds left alone. They're on eight.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34The Greens two, we know the Blues on zero are out.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Good, we've still got them. Still got them.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38This is great shooting from Vertigo.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Just magnificent. Double figures.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43This is just showboating.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Oh, I think we're out. I think we're out.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Paint the town red, Oscar.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50'All paint has been projected. Please land.'
0:20:53 > 0:20:57What drama. Quadrasoar crashing out early on.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Suffolk Air Squad getting in on the crashing act too.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05And that left Vertigo to go splat-tastic unchallenged.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07'That was carnage.'
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Carnage indeed, Air Marshall.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Final scores, so Team Vertigo on 13,
0:21:11 > 0:21:15they get the five-second advantage in the dogfight.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18SAS, they scored just two before crashing out.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21But it's mothballs for Quadrasoar.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Thank you, Air Marshall, well, that is pretty conclusive.
0:21:24 > 0:21:29Quadrasoars, unfortunately you guys, as you knew, didn't get any
0:21:29 > 0:21:31and you are grounded.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34But can I just say, you are the smiliest aviator
0:21:34 > 0:21:37we've ever had on the show, and you still seem pretty chuffed.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38Did you have a good time?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Yeah, it was really fun. We both had a good time.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44We learnt quite a bit about how to fly these massive drones.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46So, good luck to you guys as well.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50Can we have a round of applause for the greatest sports ever.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Well done, guys, you were brilliant competitors.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57So, that means that SAS and Vertigo, you guys are both through.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Well done. You did get some points on the board
0:22:00 > 0:22:03but Vertigo, Oscar, you're going through to the dogfight
0:22:03 > 0:22:06with the time advantage because you won that round.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11It all comes down to this.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16One final drone-on-drone battle for victory.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Our two teams have been training,
0:22:18 > 0:22:22preparing, psyching themselves up for this their whole lives,
0:22:22 > 0:22:25so no pressure then. It's time for the dogfight.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Well, you're right about one thing, Will, this is no doubt
0:22:29 > 0:22:32the greatest moment of their lives.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35It's certainly mine and I know it's yours.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37It's a performance, a lot like opera,
0:22:37 > 0:22:39but without all that annoying singing.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Plus we have lasers.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Anyway, this is what you do, you zap the other dude.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49Take him out first and you get the ticket to the semis.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50So this is it.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54Our two remaining teams are about to battle it out in search of glory
0:22:54 > 0:22:57but who's going to be joining them in the Combat Zone?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03'The WASP.'
0:23:03 > 0:23:08..Or weaponised assault ship. He makes a hornet look cuddly.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12He's as yellow as mustard, and with twice the bite.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Guess who his favourite singer is? Justin Bieber.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Ha! No, Sting! Ha-ha, ha-ha!
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Now remember, guys, if you stray from the combat zone,
0:23:20 > 0:23:22our resident drones will engage.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26And that is not something we recommend. Are your teams ready?
0:23:26 > 0:23:27- ALL:- Yeah.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Excellent. All right then. For the last time, aviators, stand by.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Ah, the Air Marshall's joined us.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36The old chap's in fine fettle, I hope.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39You know, he's old enough to remember the Dead Sea
0:23:39 > 0:23:40when it was just sick.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43WASP is buzzing with anticipation.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Let's hope the Air Marshall is still feeling up for it.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47'Aviators, stand by.'
0:23:47 > 0:23:51These guys look about as nervous as a couple of turkeys at Christmas.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56'Vertigo, lift-off in three, two, one.'
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Vertigo throttle off first, a five-second advantage, remember,
0:24:01 > 0:24:03from game two. That'll be all important.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06They go through the gate and activate their lasers.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07'Lift-off, Suffolk Air Squad.'
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Guy throttles away.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14'Suffolk Air Squad, targeting systems activated.'
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Look where you're pointing, which way are you pointing?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Cautious start from both teams.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Guy needs to yaw his drone to face vertigo.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25Vertigo grab their chance and zap away. Holy zap-oly!
0:24:25 > 0:24:26They miss.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28Shoot, shoot, shoot.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Saying it three times is always the best way to give an order.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Shoot. Constantly shoot.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Tanya zapping away, just as Oscar demands.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39They've locked on but miss again.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41It's like a jungle out there.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Shoot, shoot, shoot.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Well, actually it's just a warehouse in Sidcup.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Suffolk Air Squad fire away. They've zapped Team Vertigo.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49'Strike red team.'
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- Way to go.- 'Three lives remaining.' - Shoot.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55That was a great first strike. They're coming back for more.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- Air Marshall keeping a high altitude.- Shoot, shoot, shoot.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02Watch yourself old boy. Vertigo banks to the left, they get hit.
