Welcome to Airmageddon.

0:00:020:00:03

Many aviators began the quest for glory,

0:00:030:00:05

but only eight have made it through to the semifinals.

0:00:050:00:08

Four of those sensational heat winners

0:00:080:00:11

enter the hallowed hangar once more.

0:00:110:00:13

The partnership of aviator and wingman

0:00:130:00:15

face three arduous airborne tasks.

0:00:150:00:18

One team will make it through to the semis, or should I say, survive!

0:00:180:00:23

So, all you drono-maniacs out there,

0:00:230:00:25

put your seats into the upright position,

0:00:250:00:27

put away your tray tables...

0:00:270:00:29

THIS, my friends, is Airmageddon!

0:00:290:00:32

Yes!

0:00:320:00:33

CHEERING

0:00:530:00:56

Welcome to the first of our semifinals here on Airmageddon.

0:00:560:01:00

Yes, we're stepping up the competition with more challenges,

0:01:000:01:04

more difficulty, and probably more crashes.

0:01:040:01:06

Four teams have done amazingly well to get this far.

0:01:060:01:09

Each of them were victorious in their heat

0:01:090:01:11

and now they'll be facing each other for a place in our grand final.

0:01:110:01:15

-Yes, like boomerangs, they're back.

-So, let's meet our semifinalists.

0:01:150:01:19

Let's meet our aviators.

0:01:190:01:21

Yes, indeed, and here are our AIRMAZING semifinalists.

0:01:210:01:25

Leading the way, it's the Suffolk Air Squad, followed by Red Zumbido.

0:01:250:01:28

Next, it's Area 51.

0:01:280:01:31

And finally, the Girls Squad-Drone.

0:01:310:01:34

Welcome back, teams.

0:01:340:01:36

Well, whoever wins today will be flying into our finals

0:01:370:01:40

to play for this - the Airmageddon trophy.

0:01:400:01:43

Looks amazing, doesn't it?

0:01:430:01:44

And we have already met our semifinalists

0:01:440:01:46

who have definitely proved they can fly.

0:01:460:01:48

Yep, but now it's time for our PIG to fly them through

0:01:480:01:51

the new, improved and way more difficult Airsault Course.

0:01:510:01:55

This is going to be a real test. Come on, guys.

0:01:550:01:57

Well, if you thought the Airsault Course was hard,

0:02:020:02:05

it just got a whole lot harder.

0:02:050:02:08

Added to the course are the truly colossal Columns Of Control.

0:02:080:02:11

Then it's an old favourite - the Hurdles Of Horror -

0:02:110:02:14

made even more treacherous with the Letterboxes Of Luck.

0:02:140:02:17

And it's double trouble with the Pillars Of Precision times two.

0:02:170:02:20

PIG GRUNTS Then it's our old favourite,

0:02:200:02:23

the man-made natural phenomenon that is the Vortex.

0:02:230:02:26

Finally, another set of columns

0:02:260:02:28

before throttling across the finish line...in the best time.

0:02:280:02:32

PIG GRUNTS

0:02:320:02:35

Thanks, PIG.

0:02:350:02:36

So, we're flying a modified and far tougher course,

0:02:360:02:39

and to make it tougher still,

0:02:390:02:40

one of our resident drones will also be taking off and taking them on.

0:02:400:02:44

-AIR MARSHALL:

-It's the DRAGON.

0:02:460:02:48

The DRAGON. Heavy, hard and hot.

0:02:480:02:51

DRAGON's breath is so bad, just be glad you can see it

0:02:510:02:54

and not SMELL it.

0:02:540:02:57

First to tackle the upgraded

0:02:580:02:59

Airsault Course is Red Zumbido.

0:02:590:03:01

Spanish-loving Toby is at the throttle,

0:03:010:03:04

accompanied by wingman, padre, Hugh.

0:03:040:03:07

Toby made his WASP-like drone in his lab.

0:03:070:03:09

His dream is to become a robotics engineer.

0:03:090:03:12

Perhaps he created his perfect wingman?

0:03:120:03:14

I never saw him blink, eh, Hugh?

0:03:140:03:16

They were muy excelente in the heat,

0:03:160:03:19

smashing the Airsault Course in uno minuto, 26.

0:03:190:03:22

They were rapido through the slalom

0:03:220:03:24

and they were los magnificos against the bends drone in the Dogfight.

0:03:240:03:30

Arriba, Arriba!

0:03:300:03:31

So, this is it. The semifinals.

0:03:310:03:35

You're here and you're about to fly. How are you feeling?

0:03:350:03:37

-Good... Pumped.

-Pumped?

0:03:370:03:39

A bit nervous about the Letterbox, though.

0:03:390:03:41

That's going to be very tough. Are you up for it, wingman?

0:03:410:03:44

Yeah, I'm up for it, but I am actually really nervous again,

0:03:440:03:46

I can't believe it. But this guy, he's cool,

0:03:460:03:49

so I'll just back him up all the way.

0:03:490:03:50

Do it. And you're right to be nervous.

0:03:500:03:52

There's a lot at stake here.

0:03:520:03:53

Not that I want to pile any extra pressure on.

0:03:530:03:55

OK. Guys, let's do it.

0:03:550:03:58

Aviators, stand by.

0:03:580:04:00

Fire up your motors, rev up your rotors...

0:04:000:04:03

You're clear for takeoff.

0:04:030:04:05

Thanks, Will.

0:04:050:04:06

It's the semifinals and this course is a whole lot tougher.

0:04:060:04:10

Not that Toby looks worried, or his cyborg sidekick dad.

0:04:100:04:13

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Red Zumbido, liftoff in three, two, one...

0:04:130:04:17

BUZZER

0:04:170:04:19

And these semifinals are vamos! Andale! Andale!

0:04:190:04:23

This is going to be tough, this assault course.

0:04:230:04:25

Tough is an understatement, Will!

0:04:250:04:27

Approaching the first new addition, the Columns Of Control.

0:04:270:04:31

Oh, through nicely as well.

0:04:310:04:33

Through the Letterbox. Bring it up a bit.

0:04:330:04:36

Yeah, nice chat from the wingborg there,

0:04:360:04:38

as they fly through the Letterbox.

0:04:380:04:40

What makes these so impossible

0:04:400:04:41

is they're not vertical.

0:04:410:04:43

Unlike the Pillars Of Precision, these are horizontal!

0:04:430:04:47

Oh, it's so tricky!

0:04:470:04:48

Bring it up high. Not too high.

0:04:480:04:50

That's good.

0:04:500:04:52

A little drop of altitude... Now...

0:04:520:04:54

The double Pillars Of Precision, and he's quick, just like the heats.

0:04:540:04:59

Air Marshall struggling to keep up. Come on, sir!

0:04:590:05:01

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Affirmative.

0:05:010:05:03

-Red Zumbido are flying here.

-Be careful.

0:05:030:05:06

OK. Coming down again. Steady, steady, steady.

0:05:060:05:08

Bring it back this way.

0:05:080:05:10

Cor, the opposite to Air Marshall! Keep your distance, chaps.

0:05:100:05:13

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Warning - stay on flight track.

0:05:130:05:15

Oh, Toby's off track!

0:05:150:05:17

Oh, that was a heavy touchdown.

0:05:170:05:19

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. He flies through, up into the Vortex.

0:05:190:05:22

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Warning - incomplete flight path. Vortex missed.

0:05:220:05:26

Ooh, the Air Marshall signalling they've missed the Vortex!

0:05:260:05:30

I don't believe my eyes.

0:05:300:05:31

They clearly didn't fly UNDER the red markers,

0:05:310:05:34

meaning their flight path is incomplete.

0:05:340:05:36

Oh, they're carrying on, though, they haven't realised their mistake.

0:05:360:05:39

Stay clear, stay clear. Come back.

0:05:390:05:41

Well, they fly through the Columns Of Control all in vain.

0:05:410:05:44

DRAGON tries to force them back, they ignore,

0:05:440:05:47

throttle across the line!

0:05:470:05:49

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Airsault Course, incomplete.

0:05:490:05:52

Yes, indeed. Let's have a look at the replay...

0:05:520:05:54

Didn't go under the red markers...

0:05:540:05:57

Rookie mistake for the semifinals.

0:05:570:06:00

So it is the semifinals...

0:06:000:06:01

It is more difficult, we have made it more difficult.

0:06:010:06:04

-How did you find that?

-Difficult.

0:06:040:06:06

-Mm.

-Uh, awful. Terrifying.

0:06:060:06:10

Uh... Yeah.

0:06:100:06:11

-And, Hugh, wingman...

-Yeah.

0:06:110:06:13

..you thought that Toby was going a bit too fast, didn't you?

0:06:130:06:15

I did. I thought... I knew we had to do a good time

0:06:150:06:18

and I think we both had that in our...in our heads.

0:06:180:06:21

But, yeah, I said I should have slowed you down in the Vortex

0:06:210:06:23

because you just... you were almost unstoppable and...

0:06:230:06:26

my brain followed yours instead of being a good wingman

0:06:260:06:29

and holding you back, so...yeah.

0:06:290:06:31

Well, what a start.

0:06:310:06:33

Next up, it's Girls Squad-Drone.

0:06:330:06:35

This terrible twosome are fronted

0:06:350:06:37

by keen footballer, Phoebe.

0:06:370:06:39

Best friend Freya is her winglass.

0:06:390:06:41

What a sporty pair

0:06:410:06:43

and check this fella out.

0:06:430:06:44

Look at the back there, Freya's mum has written on,

0:06:440:06:47

"If we burn, you burn with us."

0:06:470:06:49

Sounds kind of scary to me.

0:06:490:06:52

In their heat they raced to the top of the Airsault leaderboard

0:06:520:06:54

and stayed top throughout.

0:06:540:06:55

Yes!

0:06:550:06:56

They pipped the other teams to victory in The Drop...

0:06:560:06:59

..before destroying the drone hogs in the Dogfight, 4-0.

0:07:000:07:05

Yes!

0:07:050:07:06

They really showed those boys how it's done. Can they do it again?

0:07:060:07:11

The Girls Squad-Drone, you are one step closer to the final.

0:07:110:07:14

-How does it feel, Phoebe?

-It's really exciting.

0:07:140:07:17

"Yeah, it's really exciting!" This is going to be easy, yeah?

0:07:170:07:20

-Is that how you're feeling about this?

-No.

0:07:200:07:22

No? Because I know you do get a little bit nervous.

0:07:220:07:24

Are you going to be able to be a little bit calmer this time, then?

0:07:240:07:27

-Hopefully.

-OK, hopefully.

0:07:270:07:28

I've got a good feeling about you two, all right?

0:07:280:07:31

So, fingers crossed, you don't let me down.

0:07:310:07:32

All right? Aviators, stand by.

0:07:320:07:36

If the girls perform like they did in the heats,

0:07:370:07:39

they have nothing to be nervous about.

0:07:390:07:42

The resident drones are set. So are the girls!

0:07:420:07:45

Here we go.

0:07:450:07:46

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Girl Squad-Drone,

0:07:460:07:48

liftoff in three, two, one...

0:07:480:07:51

BUZZER

0:07:510:07:53

Up go the girls as Red Zumbido look on with Rach!

0:07:540:07:57

Hoping for a mistake, no doubt.

0:07:570:07:58

This seems much more sensible. A much more sensible pace.

0:07:590:08:03

DRAGON keeping a watchful eye on how things are going

0:08:030:08:06

through the Letterbox.

0:08:060:08:07

Yep, yep, yep. That's great.

0:08:070:08:09

He hates postmen, you know!

0:08:090:08:11

Air Marshall, he's able to keep up at least.

0:08:110:08:13

Come on, old boy.

0:08:130:08:14

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Affirmative.

0:08:140:08:16

-FREYA:

-Slow! Remember there's a wall.

0:08:170:08:19

-Oh, yeah. Whoops, forgot about that!

-Down.

0:08:190:08:22

If there's one thing in life I've learned,

0:08:220:08:24

it's not to forget about walls, especially flying drones!

0:08:240:08:28

Steady through the pillars...

0:08:280:08:31

You're fine, you're fine. Yep, you're through.

0:08:310:08:33

-Now up.

-She shoots...

0:08:330:08:35

-Back of the net!

-Smooth as you like. OK.

0:08:350:08:39

Oh, Will's looking nervous.

0:08:390:08:40

Slowly, slowly, catch...ing lots of wind in the Vortex!

0:08:400:08:44

-No, no, no, no!

-You're fine, you're fine.

0:08:440:08:47

I don't know why we're turning, I can't turn it back round.

0:08:470:08:50

Great control there, Phoebe.

0:08:500:08:52

Top wing play.

0:08:520:08:54

Hello, it's the DRAGON!

0:08:550:08:59

He awaits them if they can get through this final set of columns.

0:08:590:09:02

The Air Marshall watching from his high position. They go low!

0:09:020:09:05

Watch out for the ground effects!

0:09:050:09:08

Hit the power!

0:09:080:09:09

She burns past her marker...

0:09:090:09:11

It's over the line - 2 minutes 47.

0:09:110:09:13

-WILL:

-Well done!

-They're in the lead.

0:09:130:09:15

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Airsault Course, complete.

0:09:150:09:17

Ooh! There was a moment of drama in the Vortex.

0:09:170:09:21

They held their nerve. Got past the DRAGON.

0:09:210:09:24

Well done, girls.

0:09:240:09:25

Girls, that was pretty good, wasn't it? Was it more difficult?

0:09:250:09:29

Yeah. I thought, em, just when we were coming to the Vortex,

0:09:290:09:32

I thought I was...done.

0:09:320:09:33

I thought... I thought... I thought I'd lost it!

0:09:330:09:35

But, Freya, you seemed to be giving

0:09:350:09:37

a lot of feedback out there to Phoebe.

0:09:370:09:39

What was kind of your tactics?

0:09:390:09:40

Make sure she knows what she's doing.

0:09:400:09:42

-Do you think...

-And you just kept talking to me as well.

0:09:420:09:45

-Was that helpful?

-Otherwise she flaps.

0:09:450:09:46

She gets distracted and goes...

0:09:460:09:49

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Calibrating scores.

0:09:490:09:51

Well, two epic runs so far and it's Girl Squad-Drone on top.

0:09:510:09:55

2 minutes 47, but down in the perilous drop zone,

0:09:550:09:58

it's Red Zumbido - DNF.

0:09:580:10:00

Drono no fenito.

0:10:000:10:01

Entering the Airena once more

0:10:020:10:04

is the Suffolk Air Squad.

0:10:040:10:06

The aviator and throttle-meister is Guy.

0:10:060:10:09

Alongside him, wingman Richard.

0:10:090:10:12

Well, check out the paint job on this, SAS.

0:10:120:10:14

We know what that stands for...

0:10:140:10:16

G-U-Y? Mm... No idea. Anyone?

0:10:160:10:20

D-A-D, I do know that - Defeat All Drones -

0:10:200:10:22

which is what they did in their heat.

0:10:220:10:24

Absolutely brilliant.

0:10:240:10:25

Absolutely, Dad.

0:10:250:10:27

And they powered their way through the Paintball Precision - just!

0:10:270:10:30

And how about in the Dogfight, Guy?

0:10:310:10:34

(I won! I won! Uh!)

0:10:340:10:35

You bet you did!

0:10:350:10:37

-How are YOU feeling?

-Nervous.

0:10:380:10:40

-Nervous?

-But I think everyone is.

0:10:400:10:43

You're right. Everyone is nervous and maybe they should be.

0:10:430:10:45

That's what your wingman's for. Any words of encouragement?

0:10:450:10:48

-He seems a bit nervous.

-I think we'll just be a bit more precision -

0:10:480:10:51

steady, slow but steady this time.

0:10:510:10:52

-Good, that's nice.

-The course is more difficult.

0:10:520:10:54

It's a heck of a lot more difficult.

0:10:540:10:56

All right, then, if you're ready... aviators, stand by.

0:10:560:11:00

Well, I think everybody's nervous, Will, including myself.

0:11:010:11:04

I bet even the DRAGON feels nerves.

0:11:040:11:06

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Suffolk Air Squad,

0:11:060:11:08

liftoff in three, two, one...

0:11:080:11:12

BUZZER

0:11:120:11:13

And the Air Marshall giving the signal to Suffolk Air Squad.

0:11:130:11:16

Throttle off.

0:11:160:11:17

Could this be the fastest time or will the nerves

0:11:170:11:19

get the better of them?

0:11:190:11:21

-Right, I'm going through the bars...

-Yep.

0:11:210:11:23

..as far as I can.

0:11:230:11:24

Don't forget it's a race, Guy!

0:11:240:11:27

Ooh, nice, spot-on.

0:11:270:11:29

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Increase velocity. Pass speed dangerously slow.

0:11:290:11:33

Well, he might actually stay that slow

0:11:330:11:36

if he knew that Red Zumbido

0:11:360:11:37

failed to get through the course.

0:11:370:11:40

-Yeah. Good stuff, good stuff.

-Yeah! There we go.

0:11:410:11:43

-Yeah, you're clear.

-Right, I'm clear. I'm going through there.

0:11:430:11:46

Yes, indeed, Guy.

0:11:460:11:47

Now that's where you're meant to go, the perilous Pillars Of Precision.

0:11:470:11:50

On board with Guy

0:11:500:11:52

as he banks left...

0:11:520:11:53

Whoa!

0:11:530:11:55

-Right, here we go.

-That's it. Down through the Vortex.

0:11:550:11:58

Right, here we go, Vortex.

0:11:580:12:00

So, this is the bad boy.

0:12:000:12:03

A thousand miles an hour of wind if you multiplied it by ten.

0:12:030:12:06

That's right, the Vortex!

0:12:060:12:08

Oh, that's beautiful.

0:12:080:12:10

Oh, a thing of beauty indeed.

0:12:110:12:13

Magnificent flying...

0:12:130:12:15

He just flew through that Vortex

0:12:150:12:16

like it wasn't there.

0:12:160:12:18

Watch out for the fireballs!

0:12:180:12:20

Oh, got to watch the DRAGON fireballs.

0:12:200:12:22

Ah, jinx! I already said that!

0:12:220:12:23

You can't say anything till I say your name, Guy. D'oh!

0:12:230:12:26

Just the control columns to navigate...

0:12:260:12:28

Flight path under the DRAGON, across the line...

0:12:280:12:32

-Great piloting.

-Yes!

0:12:320:12:33

Whoa, yes!

0:12:330:12:34

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Airsault Course, complete.

0:12:340:12:37

Not even the fireball-producing DRAGON could stop Guy

0:12:370:12:40

getting across the line in what was a very measured flight.

0:12:400:12:43

How was it out there for you?

0:12:430:12:44

Oh, it was scary, definitely, cos I didn't really know,

0:12:440:12:48

like, the best way to do it because, like, you only get one shot

0:12:480:12:53

and you can't really plan...

0:12:530:12:55

You can plan it, but not as well.

0:12:550:12:58

-And did your wingman, did he help you out?

-Definitely.

0:12:580:13:00

Ah, just a few words of encouragement.

0:13:000:13:02

Steady, you know, slow but steady. Precision flying this time.

0:13:020:13:06

Sound advice from Dad.

0:13:060:13:07

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Scores verified.

0:13:070:13:08

They may have been slow at the start,

0:13:080:13:10

but the SAS produced a great time - 2 minutes 30, topping the table

0:13:100:13:14

ahead of Girls Squad-Drone, and look down the bottom at Zumbido - DNF.

0:13:140:13:19

Final semifinalists are Area 51.

0:13:200:13:23

13-year-old Brandon

0:13:230:13:24

is the identified flying aviator.

0:13:240:13:26

Wingman dad, Michael, alongside.

0:13:260:13:29

Some say Area 51

0:13:290:13:30

is a hotbed of alien activity.

0:13:300:13:33

This UFO-inspired drone comes with a shocking red hairpiece.

0:13:330:13:36

Let's just hope it moves faster than a toupee in a Vortex!

0:13:360:13:41

In his heat, Brandon's Airsault Course lap was rather resplendent.

0:13:410:13:45

The Barrage Balloons, he was pin-poppling splendiferous!

0:13:450:13:48

We got it.

0:13:480:13:49

And against the Master Hawks in the Dogfight, particularly pugnacious.

0:13:490:13:54

Can he keep his sangfroid in the semis?

0:13:540:13:57

Up next, Area 51. Brandon and Michael.

0:13:590:14:03

Brandon, you're a man of few words, but many skills.

0:14:030:14:06

-How are you feeling?

-Good.

0:14:060:14:08

Good, see? One word, that's all he needs.

0:14:080:14:10

Michael, this particular challenge, I think, is really, really important

0:14:100:14:15

for communication between wingman and aviator.

0:14:150:14:18

-Have you kind of got your head around it?

-Yeah, definitely.

0:14:180:14:21

We're looking for control, composure and concentration.

0:14:210:14:24

-The three Cs, wow.

-Exactly.

0:14:240:14:26

You can't write that stuff.

0:14:260:14:27

All right, then, are you ready? Aviators, stand by.

0:14:270:14:31

Well, let's see if they can keep their cool

0:14:310:14:33

when they pass El Diablo.

0:14:330:14:35

Old "jalapeno breath" himself.

0:14:350:14:38

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Area 51,

0:14:380:14:40

liftoff in three, two, one...

0:14:400:14:43

BUZZER

0:14:430:14:45

Here we go.

0:14:450:14:46

Holy hot tamale! They're up and away, destiny in their own hands.

0:14:460:14:51

Ooh! Nearly crashed in the first gate!

0:14:510:14:54

Oof! It was tight, wasn't it, Will?

0:14:540:14:56

We want to go through the Letterbox, OK?

0:14:560:14:58

Keep your height right.

0:14:580:15:00

Sensible advice. Beautiful flying.

0:15:010:15:03

Under, up and through...

0:15:050:15:07

Post it, first class!

0:15:090:15:11

Excellent. Really good, Bran, really good.

0:15:110:15:13

Really, really, REALLY good.

0:15:130:15:15

Good. Now, what's next?

0:15:150:15:17

The Spotlights Of Doom.

0:15:170:15:18

No, no, no - the Pillars Of Precision.

0:15:180:15:22

This is confident flying. Very confident flying from Brandon.

0:15:220:15:25

Oh, look at the beautiful colours everywhere.

0:15:260:15:29

Yes, reminds me of a skyline in Sardinia.

0:15:290:15:32

See where there's a hangar in Hemel Hempstead.

0:15:320:15:35

Anyway, they're through the vicious Vortex, vanquished it, even.

0:15:350:15:39

Another DRAGON awaits...

0:15:390:15:40

Out of the frying pan, into the fire!

0:15:400:15:43

It's OK, we're going to go through the pillars.

0:15:430:15:45

Look how cool Dad is.

0:15:450:15:46

Him and Brandon are like a couple of ice cubes.

0:15:460:15:49

Boom, shakalak!

0:15:500:15:54

Well, let's take another look at the replay.

0:15:540:15:56

Boom, boom, shake the room. These guys had the moves.

0:15:560:16:00

Old DRAGON... he drags on a bit, doesn't he?

0:16:000:16:02

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Final timings, confirmed.

0:16:020:16:05

So the Airsault leaderboard, or the AL, as I like to call it.

0:16:050:16:08

A 51 - 1 minute 50. The SAS - 2 minutes 30.

0:16:080:16:11

GSD - 2 minutes 47.

0:16:110:16:13

And down the bottom - DNF - it's RZ.

0:16:130:16:17

Hope I'm not going OTT, but you know me!

0:16:170:16:20

I wrote down your key words... Composure - check.

0:16:200:16:24

Concentration - check.

0:16:240:16:26

-Control - check.

-Brilliant.

0:16:260:16:28

-You did it. How did that feel?

-Good. Really good.

0:16:280:16:30

Really good? Brilliant. How was that for you?

0:16:300:16:32

He did a great job and I'm really proud of him.

0:16:320:16:34

-We know what that means for you guys, don't we?

-We do.

0:16:340:16:37

You've been fabulous. How was the semifinals for you?

0:16:370:16:40

Er, terrifying, but fun.

0:16:400:16:42

Terrifying and fun, and you got here, which was a great achievement,

0:16:420:16:45

Toby, so I really want to say congratulations.

0:16:450:16:47

Guys, give them - Toby and Hugh, Red Zumbidos - a round of applause.

0:16:470:16:50

That does mean, though, unfortunately,

0:16:500:16:52

you guys are grounded.

0:16:520:16:54

CHEERING

0:16:540:16:57

Well, they did amazingly to make it to the semifinals,

0:16:570:16:59

but a place in the finals has eluded them.

0:16:590:17:02

For them, it's a shame.

0:17:020:17:04

For three of our teams, they're still in the game.

0:17:040:17:06

Tell them what they'll be playing, PIG.

0:17:060:17:08

Well, it's not PIG, it's actually ME who's going to tell you!

0:17:110:17:13

PIG does the flying.

0:17:130:17:15

Take three advanced unmanned aerial vehicles,

0:17:150:17:18

attach huge wrecking balls to them,

0:17:180:17:20

add some giant walls of bricks and you have...Wall Busters!

0:17:200:17:25

PIG GRUNTS

0:17:250:17:27

The two teams that smash 'em down the quickest go on to the Dogfight.

0:17:270:17:30

PIG OINKS

0:17:300:17:32

Our drones have been recharged, rotors re-oiled

0:17:320:17:36

and wrecking balls have been attached.

0:17:360:17:38

Miley Cyrus is nowhere to be seen, so that can only mean one thing -

0:17:380:17:41

these guys are going to be knocking down some walls.

0:17:410:17:43

Area 51, Brandon.

0:17:430:17:45

So, you guys are named after a place that's known

0:17:450:17:48

for its unidentified flying objects,

0:17:480:17:50

but have you guys identified any strengths that you have as a team

0:17:500:17:53

that you reckon's going to get you through this challenge?

0:17:530:17:55

-Michael?

-Yeah, we're going to keep it nice and tight.

0:17:550:17:58

Work close to the wall, minimal strokes and...

0:17:580:18:00

we're going to do a good job.

0:18:000:18:02

Excellent stuff, OK. The Girls Squad-Drone.

0:18:020:18:04

How are you guys feeling because, you know,

0:18:040:18:06

you're the only girls left in the competition?

0:18:060:18:08

You're kind of flying the flag for women all over the world, really.

0:18:080:18:12

Are you excited about that?

0:18:120:18:13

Yeah, I am quite excited, but it puts quite a lot of pressure.

0:18:130:18:16

Does it? How are you handling the pressure, Freya?

0:18:160:18:18

-Fine.

-Yeah? And you're enjoying yourself?

0:18:180:18:21

-Yeah.

-Excellent. OK, it's the SAS.

0:18:210:18:24

So, Guy, have you got any tactics for getting through,

0:18:240:18:27

but you can whisper them in my ear

0:18:270:18:29

because you don't want the others to hear.

0:18:290:18:31

(Hit 'em as hard as I can.?

0:18:310:18:32

(Did you hear that?

0:18:320:18:34

(He's going to hit them as hard as he can.)

0:18:340:18:36

-OK.

-They totally didn't hear that!

0:18:360:18:38

-WILL AND GUY LAUGH

-Good stuff.

0:18:380:18:40

All right, it sounds to me like you all want to get going.

0:18:400:18:42

So, aviators, stand by.

0:18:420:18:45

Well, I have to say, I am looking forward to this one.

0:18:450:18:49

Drones with wrecking balls, what could possibly go wrong?

0:18:490:18:52

Well, thank goodness the WASP hasn't got one.

0:18:520:18:54

Over to you, Air Marshall.

0:18:540:18:56

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Aviators, prepare to smash.

0:18:560:18:58

Liftoff in three, two, one...

0:18:580:19:02

BUZZER

0:19:020:19:04

Normally we discourage teams from flying into walls, but not today!

0:19:040:19:08

On board with the SAS.

0:19:080:19:09

Boof! Great hit!

0:19:090:19:11

-RICHARD:

-Yeah, beautiful.

0:19:110:19:13

Girl Squad-Drone coming in now... Two in one go, marvellous.

0:19:140:19:17

Focused look on Brandon's face. Is he perturbed?

0:19:170:19:21

No, he's not. Nicely controlled hit there.

0:19:210:19:24

Oh, and he knocks more off on the way back.

0:19:240:19:26

And the Greens get more...

0:19:260:19:27

Now, Area 51 again...

0:19:300:19:32

They miss. Oh, my goodness,

0:19:320:19:33

he's clipped a rotor!

0:19:330:19:35

We have a UFO!

0:19:350:19:36

-Ah...

-An unflying object!

-No.

0:19:360:19:38

Poor old Brandon.

0:19:380:19:39

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Rotor damaged - drone unrecoverable.

0:19:390:19:42

You heard it from the boss, "Drone unrecoverable".

0:19:430:19:46

That's got to hurt, if it had nerves.

0:19:460:19:48

Maybe one day it will, AI and all that.

0:19:480:19:50

Maybe season three.

0:19:500:19:52

So just two teams left fighting for that five-second advantage.

0:19:520:19:56

And it begs the age-old question...

0:19:570:19:59

And again, on my side, one.

0:19:590:20:01

..just WHO can knock down the most bricks in the quickest time

0:20:010:20:03

with a ball dangling from a drone?

0:20:030:20:06

This guy's ready to dish out pain too!

0:20:060:20:08

He dishes out more pain than a handful of nasty nettles!

0:20:080:20:12

Greens on 14, Blues on 11.

0:20:130:20:15

-Ho-ho, look at that!

-Oh, whoops!

0:20:160:20:18

-Little bit of rotor action there.

-Oh, you're still going.

0:20:180:20:20

Let's see that one again.

0:20:200:20:22

Uh, like watching a master at work. Magnificent.

0:20:220:20:25

Ah! Look at the scores, 15 apiece.

0:20:270:20:30

Which way will it go?

0:20:300:20:32

Just who will get the five-second advantage in the Dogfight?

0:20:320:20:34

Oops! That was a bit low.

0:20:340:20:37

I can't watch. I shan't watch.

0:20:370:20:39

I refuse to watch... or wear one, even,

0:20:390:20:42

and I need to know the time.

0:20:420:20:44

But enough about me, 18 bricks is all you need.

0:20:460:20:50

Two bricks each, two bricks each.

0:20:500:20:52

That's right, Will.

0:20:520:20:54

This is smashtastic, and there's one right there!

0:20:540:20:56

The SAS, one to go! Smashalicious. Neck and neck.

0:20:560:21:02

Oh, they've each got one brick left! This is so close.

0:21:020:21:05

I mean, just so close indeed, they're equal,

0:21:050:21:07

but here comes the Greens.

0:21:070:21:09

They think it's all over. It is! It is all over.

0:21:090:21:11

Doesn't matter, Blues, you were too late.

0:21:110:21:14

The Greens did it. Hoo-hah!

0:21:140:21:15

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Game over. All drones land.

0:21:150:21:18

Well, golly gosh, who would have thought Area 51

0:21:190:21:22

were the ones to drop out, leaving Guy and Phoebe

0:21:220:21:25

to smash their way to the Dogfight?

0:21:250:21:28

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Smashing - scores verified.

0:21:280:21:31

So, the SAS are on top with 18 and GSD, well, they did 18 too,

0:21:310:21:37

but the SAS did it first.

0:21:370:21:39

As for Area 51, seven points, they are G-R-O-U-N-D-E-D...

0:21:390:21:44

grounded!

0:21:440:21:45

OK, I think, as we could see, the yellow team,

0:21:450:21:49

you guys, Area 51, did crash out and, sadly,

0:21:490:21:53

that means you came third in this challenge and you're grounded.

0:21:530:21:57

I'm sorry, mate, but you did really well to get this far.

0:21:570:21:59

Give 'em a big round of applause, OK?

0:21:590:22:01

You guys, you're both through,

0:22:010:22:04

and the team going through with a time advantage is the SAS.

0:22:040:22:08

-CHEERING

-Thanks.

0:22:080:22:09

Great stuff. Congratulations to both of you.

0:22:090:22:12

I'll see you in the Dogfight.

0:22:120:22:14

CHEERING

0:22:140:22:16

The end of the semifinal hurtles towards us

0:22:180:22:20

like a WASP in attack mode, but first, our two finalists

0:22:200:22:23

have to get each other in their sights

0:22:230:22:25

with our advanced targeting system.

0:22:250:22:27

This is for a place in the final.

0:22:270:22:30

There's everything to play for. This is the Dogfight.

0:22:300:22:33

Time for the toughest showdown in the skies. It's the Dogfight.

0:22:380:22:41

Here to show us how it's done is the notorious PIG and WASP.

0:22:410:22:45

PIG GRUNTS

0:22:450:22:46

Armed with the most recent laser technologies, the aviators

0:22:460:22:48

must zap away at their opponent's sensors in the flaming combat zone.

0:22:480:22:53

Four hits is all it takes to become master of the skies!

0:22:530:22:59

And book a place in the final.

0:23:000:23:03

So, our two teams are ready to battle it out

0:23:030:23:06

metres above the Airena floor.

0:23:060:23:08

Only one of them can be victorious.

0:23:080:23:10

Only one of them can fly through to the grand final.

0:23:100:23:13

And to help keep them in check,

0:23:130:23:14

one of our resident drones will be joining them out there.

0:23:140:23:17

Let's find out which one.

0:23:170:23:19

-AIR MARSHALL:

-It's the GUARD.

0:23:210:23:22

Doing the Dogfight duties is GUARD. Big, bulky, brutal!

0:23:220:23:28

He's certainly not to be messed with.

0:23:280:23:30

Stray too far and he'll elbow you back into the combat zone,

0:23:300:23:33

if he had elbows!

0:23:330:23:34

OK, guys, remember, if you stray into the no-fly zones,

0:23:340:23:38

our resident drones may engage.

0:23:380:23:40

And that is not something we advise.

0:23:400:23:43

Right, have you got anything you want to say to your opponents?

0:23:430:23:46

Good luck, guys. We hope you do well.

0:23:460:23:49

And we hope you do well, too, but we'll do better.

0:23:490:23:51

-WILL AND RACHEL:

-Ooh!

-Fighting talk before the Dogfight,

0:23:510:23:55

that's probably the right thing.

0:23:550:23:57

OK, guys, for the final time today, stand by!

0:23:570:24:01

Well, goodness me, it doesn't get any bigger than this.

0:24:010:24:04

The crowd roars. A place in the final at stake.

0:24:040:24:08

Air Marshall watching on.

0:24:100:24:11

Two nervous young pilots.

0:24:120:24:15

So much at stake.

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Suffolk Air Squad, liftoff in three, two, one...

0:24:170:24:22

BUZZER And here we go.

0:24:220:24:24

The Suffolk Air Squad are up and away.

0:24:240:24:27

They engage.

0:24:270:24:28

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Girl Squad-Drone, liftoff.

0:24:280:24:30

That five-second advantage

0:24:300:24:32

certainly does help.

0:24:320:24:34

Now, on board with the Blues. They too are engaged.

0:24:340:24:36

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Blue team, lasers activated.

0:24:360:24:39

Button, watch that button.

0:24:390:24:40

And getting orders there,

0:24:400:24:41

the wingman, to hit the button a bit more.

0:24:410:24:44

I can see the Air Marshall keeping a close eye on this.

0:24:440:24:47

-Now the Greens have been hit!

-Yes!

0:24:480:24:50

Oh, it's hideous!

0:24:500:24:52

Look at the smoke billowing!

0:24:540:24:55

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Strike.

0:24:550:24:57

Green team, three lives remain.

0:24:570:24:58

Must be so difficult

0:24:580:25:00

to concentrate now for the Greens.

0:25:000:25:02

Stay in the arena, mate. Stay in the arena.

0:25:020:25:04

What is Guy going to do?

0:25:040:25:05

You go high, I go low,

0:25:070:25:09

-and they've hit him again! AIR MARSHALL:

-Green team,

0:25:090:25:12

-two lives remain.

-Oh, again!

0:25:120:25:13

Boom! Zap!

0:25:150:25:16

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Strike. Blue team, three lives remain.

0:25:160:25:19

And look at the replay there.

0:25:190:25:22

As the Greens drop, the Blues hit them.

0:25:220:25:24

On board with Girls Squad-Drone, aviator Phoebe.

0:25:290:25:31

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Strike. Green team, one life remains.

0:25:310:25:34

And, oh, they've been hit. Tit-for-tat.

0:25:340:25:35

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Strike. Blue team, two lives remain.

0:25:350:25:38

But then back to the Greens!

0:25:380:25:40

Just one left for this "Guy".

0:25:410:25:44

Big pressure on the Greens here.

0:25:450:25:47

It's never been tighter in a Dogfight.

0:25:480:25:51

The Greens...and they've hit!

0:25:510:25:53

My goodness, it's one apiece to go.

0:25:530:25:55

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Strike. Blue team, one life remains.

0:25:550:25:58

Bobbing up and down on them as we see the replay there.

0:25:580:26:01

They got tagged.

0:26:010:26:02

The aerial acrobatics are unbelievable!

0:26:020:26:05

-FREYA:

-What? Are they allowed...

-FREYA GASPS

0:26:050:26:07

So finely poised now. One apiece.

0:26:070:26:09

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Control your flying.

0:26:090:26:12

Sorry!

0:26:120:26:13

It's knuckle-biting stuff!

0:26:140:26:17

It's like ballet without all the twinkly toes.

0:26:170:26:20

Great flying, mate. Great flying.

0:26:200:26:21

It's absolutely balletic with...zapping!

0:26:210:26:24

On board with the Greens.

0:26:240:26:26

Oh, they've got the Blues! What a comeback!

0:26:260:26:28

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Strike. Blue team, zero lives remain.

0:26:280:26:32

Let's have a look at the replay...

0:26:320:26:33

Just more zappage. That was the key. The Greens, victory!

0:26:330:26:38

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Dogfight over.

-A real surprise as well.

0:26:380:26:42

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Semifinal results, confirmed.

0:26:420:26:44

SAS 1, Girls Squad-Drone 0.

0:26:440:26:48

Sounds like a dull football game, but it was anything but!

0:26:480:26:51

Wow, congratulations, guys.

0:26:510:26:52

It does mean, Girls Squad-Drone, you are today's runners-up,

0:26:520:26:55

but you have been so fabulous.

0:26:550:26:57

How was it out there?

0:26:570:26:59

It was really good, I really enjoyed it.

0:26:590:27:00

-Freya, you're clapping away.

-That was really fun.

0:27:000:27:02

Really, really fun.

0:27:020:27:04

Guys, thank you so much for being such great competitors,

0:27:040:27:06

but I do have to say...

0:27:060:27:08

you are grounded.

0:27:080:27:10

Well done, though. Well done to them.

0:27:100:27:12

CHEERING

0:27:120:27:13

They've been brilliant, but that means that the winners today,

0:27:130:27:16

going through to the final of Airmageddon, it's SAS!

0:27:160:27:20

-RACHEL: Woohoo!

-Well done, Guy.

0:27:200:27:22

-Well done, Richard. How do you feel?

-Amazing!

0:27:220:27:25

Yeah? You can barely believe it!

0:27:250:27:27

-AIRMAZING.

-AIRMAZING, there we go.

0:27:270:27:29

This guy's... He's been a joker from the start.

0:27:290:27:32

Well done. Well done.

0:27:320:27:33

We will see you guys in the final as well.

0:27:330:27:36

But for now, it's time to power down.

0:27:360:27:39

And for these lot - to step up.

0:27:390:27:41

CHEERING

0:27:410:27:44

-AIR MARSHALL:

-Airmageddon, power down.
