Welcome back to TV's ultimate test of airborne skill... | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
-Get out of the way! -..and radio-controlled mayhem. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
Whoa! | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
-32 teams of wannabe aviators from across the UK... -Yay! | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
..will do battle in the Airena with their customised drones. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:17 | |
-Only those with the skill... -Yes! -..the luck and aerial courage... | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
-Go, go, go! -..will make it through. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
Hold on to your underpants, | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
this is Airmaggedon. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
CHEERING | 0:00:48 | 0:00:49 | |
Welcome to Airmaggedon and to our new, super-improved Airena, | 0:00:49 | 0:00:53 | |
-the ultimate home of drones. -Yes! | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
We are back, and this time we're bigger, badder | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
and better than ever before. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
That's right, Will. The toughest test on television | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
just got a whole lot tougher. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:03 | |
As always, at this crucial heat stage, four teams start, | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
but only one of them will survive a brutal Airlimination process | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
to earn themselves a place in our semifinals. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
Will our pilots be able to master the dastardly obstacles we've put | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
in their way - our ever-present drones - or, of course, each other? | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
It's time we found out. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
-BOTH: -It's time to meet our aviators. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
CHEERING | 0:01:25 | 0:01:26 | |
OK, our first team in the new series is Sky Surf, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
consisting of Harvi and mum Rav. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
Next up is J-Force2. Jamie and his brother, Jude. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
Next are Vortex. That's Joel and his dad, Christian. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
And last but not necessarily least | 0:01:39 | 0:01:40 | |
is Jessica and her uncle, Dave, making up team Koro Senai. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
So, Jamie and Jude, J-Force2, you are here. Take a good look around. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
You are in the Airena. How does that feel? | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
-It's amazing, it's so massive and I just can't wait to fly. -Good stuff. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
And Jess, over here. Koro Senai is your name, what does that mean? | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
It's Japanese for unkillable. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
And am I saying it right there? | 0:02:03 | 0:02:04 | |
It's KORO-senai. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:05 | |
-KORO-senai, I was completely wrong. -Get it right, Rach! OK. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
So, they are our teams. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
Now, it's time to meet a very dear, dear friend of mine. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
My old mucker, my very own Personalized Interactive Gyrocopter. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
He's back. It is PIG with the first of our challenges. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
And so, to our mega-assault course. How mega? This mega. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
There are four gates to fly through, each only 2m in diameter. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
That's just big enough for a flying pigmy hippo... | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
I mean, drone to fit through. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
After the Pillars, which are as high as your house, | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
it's a special delivery through the Letterboxes. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
Take care, there's only room for one drone-sized parcel. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
Make a mistake, and you'll be returned to sender seven cars below. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
After the zero-visibility Foggy Corridor, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
it's off to The Vortex, which blows a force ten gale skywards. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
Then, cross the line in good time | 0:02:54 | 0:02:55 | |
and hope you've done enough to get through. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
You got all that? Good. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
Let's see who will be defending the course. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
'The WASP.' | 0:03:08 | 0:03:09 | |
Not best pleased about being dragged away from ruining someone's picnic, | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
the WASP is angry and looking to take it out on somebody. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
Don't let it sting you, it hurts so much. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
The Airena is set, the Airsault Course is waiting, | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
so let's get our first team up here and see if they can tame this beast. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
It's J-Force2. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:28 | |
Jamie, the aviator, | 0:03:29 | 0:03:30 | |
and younger brother, Jude - | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
Hey, Jude - the Wing-bro, | 0:03:32 | 0:03:33 | |
make-up J-Force2. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
Jamie is a goalkeeper | 0:03:35 | 0:03:36 | |
and has an excellent track record. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:37 | |
He saved more penalties than he's | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
let in. That's the idea, Jamie. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
The tank on their drone was very difficult to fix, apparently. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
But let's hope they have enough in their tank | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
to see them through to the semis. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
-Jamie, you all right? -Yeah, I'm good, thanks. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
So, you've seen this course before in series one, | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
but this is Airsault series two. It's a lot harder. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
Do you reckon you're going to be able to handle it? | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
-Yes, I think I can. -Yeah? | 0:03:59 | 0:04:00 | |
And your Wingman, Jude. Now your older brother here, Jamie, | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
this might be one of the few opportunities you get to | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
-really boss him around. -Yeah. -You excited about that? -Yeah. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
-THEY LAUGH -Yeah. -Yeah, exactly. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
He's a bit nervous to say quite how excited he is. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
-We are about to find out. -Yeah. -Are you ready to fly? -YES! | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
All right then, aviators, stand by. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
And so, the new season kicks off with J-Force2. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
Fire up your motors, rev up your rotors. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
You are clear for take off. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:28 | |
'Aviators, stand by.' | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
Hey there, Air Marshall, you are looking good. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
-How were your holidays? -'Perfectly acceptable, thank you.' | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
Did you have a nice break? | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
'I went to Air Marshall camp.' | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
And how was it? | 0:04:42 | 0:04:43 | |
'Satisfactory.' | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
-There's no pleasing you, mate. -'Launch in three...' -All right. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
-'..two, one.' -Go. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
And there they are in the air, | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
taking a few seconds to assess the situation. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
Down, down a bit more. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
Yeah, this new beefed-up Airsault Course must look pretty | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
intimidating from up there. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
Up. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:02 | |
-Over they go. -Up. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
Through the gate. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:08 | |
That's the first obstacle out of the way. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
Plenty more to go, though. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
Wing-bro Jude, calmly weighing in with some great advice. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:17 | |
-This is good teamwork. -Now. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
And now, the Letterboxes of Luck. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
Mostly bad luck, if I'm honest. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
Nicely handled. These boys are looking pretty good. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
High, up, up, up. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
UP! Now. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
After the next gate, J-Force2 might need to speed up. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
Remember, their time on this course determines | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
whether they go through to the next round. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
A bit higher. Now. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:43 | |
Yes! | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
The WASP waiting for an opportunity to strike. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
Patience, my stripy, snipe-y acquaintance. Patience, sir! | 0:05:50 | 0:05:55 | |
'Warning, do not hit the Air Marshall. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
'Air Marshall does not need it.' | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
I think they know that, Air Marshall, | 0:06:00 | 0:06:01 | |
but better safe than sorry. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
Or you will get a court martial. Ha-ha! | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
COUGHING | 0:06:08 | 0:06:09 | |
Oh, nasty cough there. Has he got a cold like me? | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
Or is it some sort of sibling code? | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
And are they through the Foggy Corridor? | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
They are through, no problems. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
Maybe the coughing did them well. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
Wing-bro talking Jamie through the course there. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
Good navigating. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:25 | |
Now, it's off to The Vortex. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
Again, a very cautious approach. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
I once flew a drone around the course | 0:06:31 | 0:06:32 | |
and got it stuck at The Vortex. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
It took me well over six hours to get past it. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
It was the most embarrassing thing that's happened to me | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
ever since I played spin the bottle. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:40 | |
No, no. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
J-Force2 managing much quicker than me, though. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
And we are nearly done. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:48 | |
The WASP furiously sparking away | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
as they go through the last obstacle. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
Go, go, go! | 0:06:54 | 0:06:55 | |
Narrowly avoiding his sting to bounce across the finish line. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
Oh, I can't breathe. I can breathe now. Wow! | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
It's a course record... Oh, no, hold on. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
They are the first-ever to do it this series. I'm an idiot. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
J-Force2, woohoo! Oh, my gosh, you guys were amazing. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
How was that? | 0:07:11 | 0:07:12 | |
Thank you. It was really good, really good. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
Jude, you were very vocal out there. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
I don't want him to get disqualified. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
-I just want it to be as good as it can be. -Well, I think it was. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
Yeah! | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
Because you did it in a superfast time as well, 02.30. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
You didn't get disqualified and it was perfect. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
Well, it was pretty much perfect apart from the end bit | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
where I used the wrong stick to turn. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
So, new to the show is team Koro Senai | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
who consist of Jessica and her Wingman, Uncle Dave. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
Jessica is a fan of all things Japanese. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
She loves manga comics, sings a lot of karaoke and her | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
favourite food is sau...sau...sausages?! | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
The design for the craft is based on manga-style image. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
I wonder if they went on a manga management course. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
Oh, good show. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
Have you got a strategy for this course? | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
-The strategy has got to be slow and steady, I think. -Yeah? | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
Yeah, on the practice, I ran into the metal wall over there, | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
so I'm going to see if I can get past that this time. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
-You'd better do because koro senai means unkillable. -Yeah. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
You are not going to be unkillable if you crash out against the Wall. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
All right, then, guys. Good luck. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
-Are you ready? -Yes. -Aviators, stand by. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
Start your motors. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
Rev up your rotors. You are clear for take off. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
'Aviators, stand by. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
'Koro Senai, launch in three, two, one.' | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
So, to Koro Senai. Slow and steady, like she said. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
-Not too slow, though, please. -Thanks. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
Jessica looks worried about something. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
-She can handle it, though. Look at that determined face. -Oh, my God! | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
Through the gate. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:51 | |
The WASP, as always, a presence on the arena. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
Don't get too near to it, Koro Senai. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
It's poised. She slips around the pillar. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
Actually, the fire helped me out that time. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
Jessica, you are in shock. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
The fire is supposed to scare you and put you off. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:09 | |
Go higher, a bit higher, back this way. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
Still, I guess if you know you are unkillable, | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
you must be able to laugh in the face of fear. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
The fire is actually being really helpful. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
Please! It's supposed to be scary, Jessica. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
Scary. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:21 | |
It's just like a claw machine. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
We rejoin them now approaching the Foggy Corridor. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
Yeah, OK, it's one of my favourite places to go | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
when we're playing hide-and-seek. Ha-ha. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
Please don't tell anyone that. Oh, I've given it away. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
Well, I'll say this, Jessica's meticulousness is definitely | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
keeping her in the air so far. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
She is truly koro senai, for the time being. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:47 | |
Jessica is a keen musician. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:49 | |
She can play the piano and sing. I wonder if she'll write a song | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
about her experience today. I wonder what it would be called. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
Not the WASP. There's no word that rhymes with WASP apart from potato. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
No, it has to go underneath. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
Wing-uncle David keeping his aviator calm there. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
Very important to keep communicating during the course. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
Good job, Uncle Dave. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
And they've got it through without too much drama. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
Face to face with the WASP. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:12 | |
He releases a few sparks just to show them who is boss. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
He's pooing sparks all over the place. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:19 | |
Well, knowing me, I'm probably going to crash at this one. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
You have to believe in yourself, Jess. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
Don't crash. Stay strong, stay focused, stay brave. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
But most of all, stay in the game. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
And across the finish line, they go. Nice little skid there... | 0:10:31 | 0:10:35 | |
-at the end. -Well done, Jessie. -SHE LAUGHS | 0:10:35 | 0:10:37 | |
Brilliant. So, that makes Koro Senai the second team | 0:10:37 | 0:10:41 | |
to finish the Airsault course today. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
How did you find it up there, though? | 0:10:44 | 0:10:45 | |
It was good. Yeah, it was really fun. It was really nice. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
Were you nervous? Or you thought...? | 0:10:48 | 0:10:49 | |
It was really stressful, like, just going round the thing. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
It was good teamwork. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:53 | |
Making sure you don't crash. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
But it was good, you got a time of 03.40. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
Yes. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:58 | |
Good time. But I can confirm, that does put you in second place. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
Because J-Force2, they got 02.30. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
OK. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
-'Time for Leaderboard.' -Thanks Air Marshall. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
Let's take a look at the leaderboard, then. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
J-Force2 put in a steady time of 02.30 | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
while Koro Senai are lagging more than a minute behind | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
with a time of 03.40. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
Right then, into the fray steps Team Vortex - Joel and Christian, | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
named after the actual vortex here in the arena. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
Yeah, that's right! Joel has been flying radio-controlled aircraft | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
for a while now. He loves parkour and wants to be a pilot | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
or have the ability to fly as a superpower. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
That's not going to happen, mate. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:32 | |
It seems Joel is happiest when he is in the air. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
The drone took three days to make | 0:11:35 | 0:11:36 | |
and they added a danger sign, | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
so I guess the house drones had better watch out. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
Yeah, right. Come on. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:41 | |
So, you guys have got a lot of experience flying together. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
Have you been checking out the competition in practice? | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
Well, we are the competition, so... | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
Phew! Listen to that confidence. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:52 | |
All right, well, let's get you underway, then. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
Aviators, stand by. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
Fire up your motors, rev up your rotors. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
You are clear for take off. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
'Aviator, stand by.' | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
Go again, bud. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:07 | |
'Vortex, launch in three, two, one.' | 0:12:07 | 0:12:11 | |
OK, they talk the talk, but let's see if they fly the fly. Ha! | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
Did you like that? It's good, isn't it? | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
These two seem to know what they're doing. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
Wing-dad Christian flies actual planes in real life, | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
so this should be a walk in the park, or a flight in the Airena. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:27 | |
This is a very quick start. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:28 | |
Here we go. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:31 | |
Through the those Letterboxes, Joel, aided by some sound advice there. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:38 | |
These two seem very comfortable on this course. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
Even the Air Marshall is having trouble keeping up. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
I always said he should have had rocket boosters fitted | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
just in case, but no-one would listen to me. No-one! | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
That's it. Lovely. On you go, on you go. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:53 | |
Dad Christian sounds a bit like a shepherd there. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
New TV show idea - one man and his drone. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
No! One man, one boy and his drone. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
Wing-dad vocal. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
Uh... No, I'm not going to pitch that. I'm not insane. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
HE BLEATS AND SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
Oh, hang on, something is happening. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
Joel seems to be losing his yaw in the fog. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:14 | |
Wingman is frantically trying to shepherd his aviator sheep son | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
-to get back on track. -Collect yourself. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
And cool as a cucumber, he brings it back. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
That was intense. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
Next up, The Vortex. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:25 | |
How will Team Vortex fare in The Vortex? | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
This could get messy. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
Yes. In you go, in you go. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
Is the Airmaggedon Vortex going to be particularly boisterous today? | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
Push on, push on. Push on. Up you go. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:40 | |
Nice and easy. Push, push, push. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
Nice. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:43 | |
OK, so now they come face to face with the WASP. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:47 | |
A spray of sparks from the WASP, but Team Vortex simply ignore it. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
"Not today, Mr WASP, we've got a race to finish." | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
They swing round the last obstacle... | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
-There you go. -..and over the line. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
-Excellent. -Well done, well done. Nice control. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
-What are you saying? -What are you saying? -Who, me? | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
I'm just saying what everyone is thinking. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
Excellent work, guys. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
Joel, that was a bit scary, wasn't it? | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
-Yeah, I nearly crashed, but... -Yeah. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
-I saved it. -Think it was the fog, which was putting you off in there? | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
-Yeah, I think. -And you are obviously very good at flying. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
Is this like anything you've ever done before? | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
No, it's a lot bigger and quite a lot harder. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
It's leaderboard time. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:27 | |
Vortex go top of the table with 01.49, | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
while Koro Senai will be relying on luck to keep their hopes alive. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:34 | |
Harvi's mum and dad played rock-paper-scissors to see | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
which of them would help him today. And mum Rav won...or lost. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:41 | |
So, here she is. They are called Sky Surf | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
because Harvi thinks that drones surf the sky. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
The drone shell was painted sky blue, | 0:14:47 | 0:14:49 | |
but it doesn't say here on my notes why they've added a bee. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:51 | |
Maybe they were hoping that the WASP might want to make friends | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
with it. Doubt it, it's going to eat it. Ha! | 0:14:54 | 0:14:56 | |
-Sky Surf! -BOTH: -Yes! | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
Yeah, good, good. Good energy. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
-So, Harvi, I've just found out that you are a black belt in karate. -Yes. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:06 | |
-That's very impressive. -Yeah. -That's good. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
And just remember, if you do crash, at any point, | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
-it wasn't my fault, has nothing to do with me, OK? -OK. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
OK, guys, I think you are ready to fly. So, aviators, stand by. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:18 | |
Start up your motors, rev up your rotors. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
You are clear for take off. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
'Aviators, stand by. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:25 | |
'Sky Surf, launch in three, two, one.' | 0:15:29 | 0:15:33 | |
OK, Harvi is airborne. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
Slowly through the hoop. Keep it in the centre. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
Centre. Now go through. Slowly, slowly, slowly through the hoop. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:47 | |
Round the side. Avoid the drone. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:49 | |
Passes across the Air Marshall. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
It's not a bad time. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
Round, take it round, round slowly. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
Good support from Wing-mum Rav. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
Steady, steady, steady. Down, down, down. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
Yeah, yeah, stop shouting. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:01 | |
That's easier said than done in this situation, Harvi. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
You know, it's the pressure. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:05 | |
It just gets to you. SHOUTS: It makes you shout! | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
Steady. Slightly... Up! Up. Up. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
And we rejoin Sky Surf as they ascend up to the third gate. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
Are you sure it's to the hoop? | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
It's through the gate, Harvi. That's it. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
Sky Surf cleared that in 53 seconds, | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
which is two minutes quicker than Koro Senai. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:22 | |
-It's not looking good for Jessica here. -Yeah. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
Down, other side, Harvi. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
Which side? I don't know which side? I don't know which way. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
-Other way you go, other way round. Round. -Which way?! | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
-Now Harvi needs Wing-mum to help guide him through. -Harvi, go back. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:37 | |
-Stay in the middle. -Where is he going? | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
This is not the time to go exploring, Sky Surf. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
Get back and go through The Vortex. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
It's really giving him trouble. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
That looks a bit suspect to me. Air Marshall. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
'Warning, stay within the perimeter.' | 0:16:48 | 0:16:51 | |
OK, fair enough. Air Marshall deems it legal. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
And now the last gate, and WASP hovers there. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
Will the house drone see Sky Surf's friendly bee | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
and let them pass? Not likely, he's let loose a stream of sparks, | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
and the sparks rain down on them as they shoot across the line. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
What a dramatic finish! | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
-There's tears. -Yay! | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
He got a bit caught up in The Vortex, | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
but otherwise some cracking flying there, Harvi. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
Well done. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
-'Time for leaderboard.' -Thanks, Air Marshall. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
So Sky Surf slot in behind Vortex with a time of 02.15 | 0:17:22 | 0:17:26 | |
and as suspected, Koro Senai are the ones | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
who are grounded with 03.40. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
Arigato and goodnight. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:32 | |
02.15, second place. You are through! | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
THEY CHEER | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
-Yes! -Oh, my God. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
-Great stuff. -Ah! -Great stuff. -Ah! | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
-Wow. -Not on camera. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
It's a show of affection from Rav and a show of rejection from Harvi. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:49 | |
That does mean, Jess, you are grounded. Have you had fun? | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
Yeah, this is really great. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:54 | |
-Dave? -Definitely. I had loads of fun. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
I didn't crash. I didn't... I managed not to break a drone. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
So, I'm fine with that. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:01 | |
One team crashes out, but three survived this aerial spectacle | 0:18:02 | 0:18:06 | |
with their heads and their drones held high. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
Talking of which, here is another high-flying spectacle. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
What's up with the next challenge, PIG? | 0:18:12 | 0:18:14 | |
So, this event is called Laps and it is just that. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
Our aviators must take their drones in laps | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
around the two pillars. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:27 | |
The team who complete the most laps in the time get | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
a five-second advantage in the Dogfight. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
The team with the least is grounded. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
New to Airmaggedon are the BUGs, | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
Basic Unmanned Gyrocopters. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
These manic mini-machines buzz around, distracting the | 0:18:42 | 0:18:45 | |
aviators and generally getting in the way. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
Buzz off, will you? | 0:18:48 | 0:18:49 | |
So, the competing drones are supercharged, super customised and | 0:18:51 | 0:18:56 | |
super keen to get on with it, and I suspect this lot are super nervous. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
-How are you feeling, guys? Feeling good? -ALL: -Yeah! -Excellent. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
All right then, guys. Hopefully, | 0:19:02 | 0:19:03 | |
you will all get through this safely, but I need to remind you. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
If you lose, you are grounded. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
If you win this round, | 0:19:10 | 0:19:11 | |
you go through to the Dogfight with a time advantage. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:15 | |
-All right? Are we all ready? -ALL: -Yes. -OK, then. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
Aviators, stand by. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
Fire up your motors, rev up your rotors. You are clear for take off. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
'Aviators, stand by. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:28 | |
'Launch in three, two, one. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:33 | |
And the remaining three drones take to the sky. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
I ran around the course a few times before the show to warm up, | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
went too fast, got dizzy and ran into the Wall. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
This course is so dangerous. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
Back, back. Round again. Again, again, again. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
Round, round, round, round. Round, round. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
Watch it, there's a drone. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
They are going really fast, some of these guys. | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
They certainly are, Will. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:00 | |
They need to balance speed with control. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
This one really works the thumbs. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
Round, round, again up. Round, round, round. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:07 | |
-They are all now getting into a good flying pattern. -Roll around. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
Putting the laps on the scoreboard, this is going to be close. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
Oh, no! Sky Surf's got too close to a pillar. The drone is down. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:20 | |
Drone down. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:21 | |
Let's see that again. It looks like a double collision as he took | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
a pillar too short and also hit a BUG as well. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:28 | |
We love crashes. Wicked! | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
Look at this. He somehow managed to get back up in the air. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
I thought he was out for good. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
Will he be able to catch up with the others? | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
They've got quite a lead now. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
'Sky Surf grounded. Sustained fuselage damage.' | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
-Oh, well. -Oh, bad luck, Sky Surf. A plucky attempt, | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
but the Air Marshall knows what he is talking about. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
So, it is now a two-horse race. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
A two-drone race. A horse-drone. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
A two-horse-drone race. Oh, shush. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
I can feel my heart...thumping in my chest. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
Yes, Jamie, this is a different kettle of potatoes | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
to the obstacle course. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:09 | |
Lots of time. Lots of laps. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
We see that they are both putting on the laps in quick succession. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
But who is going to get that value both five-second head start? | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
Both teams have slightly different styles. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
Vortex are relying on speed | 0:21:22 | 0:21:23 | |
to take the larger turning circle | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
whereas J-Force2 are slower, but more precise at the turn. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
We'll have to wait to see which one is more effective. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
Still waiting to see one drone | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
catch fire. At least one! | 0:21:33 | 0:21:34 | |
Me too, Will. We are definitely going to see | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
a flaming, crashing drone this series. I can feel it. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
Ooh, I want to get through. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
There is really so little between the two teams, | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
but Vortex looking like they might just have the edge here. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
Pull back. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:51 | |
They are both at the top of their game here. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
J-Force2 goes high while Vortex stays on the level. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:01 | |
We're good. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:02 | |
This is really close. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
-'Ten, nine...' -It's the countdown. Here we go! -Ah! | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
'Seven, six, five, four...' | 0:22:08 | 0:22:12 | |
Three, two, one. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:15 | |
And that's it. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:17 | |
After Sky Surf crashed out, | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
there was very little to separate the two remaining drones. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
Let's go over to Will in the tower. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
-You are shaking, you are shaking. -Oh, my God. -Really? | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
Look at these hands. Can you see that? | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
That's the adrenaline, that's the adrenaline. Guys. Harvi, Harvi. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
-Yeah? -What happened, mate? -Went too close to the pillar and I crashed. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
Oh, no. And then you took out one of the lights and then your drone, | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
-when you were up, it was too wobbly. -Yeah. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
-Unlucky. -Yes. -That was unlucky. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
So, Team Vortex take the five-second head start in the Dogfight. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:52 | |
But will the two Js have the force to push them asunder? | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
This is going to be something else. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
Well done to you guys. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:58 | |
Unfortunately, that does mean that Sky Surf, because of that crash, | 0:22:58 | 0:23:02 | |
-you didn't complete as many laps, so I have to say you are grounded. -OK. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:06 | |
-Have you had a good day, though? -Yes, it's been amazing. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
You were a great competitor, both of you, and I will never | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
forget how excited you were, Rav, when you got through. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
-First round. -So, congratulations. -Thank you. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
-A big round of applause for these guys. Thanks very much. -Thank you. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
Our two surviving teams are about to set their sights on EACH OTHER | 0:23:22 | 0:23:27 | |
as they face off in the Dogfight. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
Aviators must pass through the entry activation gates, | 0:23:35 | 0:23:39 | |
which powers up their funky laser cannons. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:42 | |
Once inside the flaming combat zone, | 0:23:42 | 0:23:44 | |
the Wingmen are free to fire away at their opponent. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:48 | |
The aviators must use all of their piloting skill and | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
experience to evade being hit as four direct strikes to their | 0:23:50 | 0:23:54 | |
drone will see them grounded. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:55 | |
Two teams and one air-rasing battle to come. | 0:23:57 | 0:24:01 | |
Nerve, skill, piloting precision... | 0:24:01 | 0:24:03 | |
Who's got it and who hasn't? | 0:24:03 | 0:24:05 | |
We are going to find out very, very soon. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:07 | |
Yes, we will, Will. But who will be patrolling the no-fly zone? | 0:24:07 | 0:24:11 | |
'It's the GUARD.' | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
He's grey and he rocks. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:14 | |
He's proud and he blocks. It's the GUARD. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:18 | |
OK, teams, remember - if you stray into the no-fly zones, | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
our resident drone, the GUARD, may engage. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:26 | |
Yes, and our GUARD, they are a bit of a bully, | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
so what would you do if they did engage, Joel? | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
He'd have to catch me first, wouldn't he? | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
'Oof! He would.' | 0:24:32 | 0:24:33 | |
From that kind of chat, it sounds to me like you are ready to go. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:37 | |
OK, so, aviators, stand by. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:39 | |
Calibrate your weapons. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
Check all your systems. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
This is the Dogfight. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
You are clear for take off. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:47 | |
'Vortex launch in three, two, one.' | 0:24:47 | 0:24:51 | |
-And they are up. -'Target has entered the gate. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:57 | |
'J-Force2, launch in three, two, one.' | 0:24:57 | 0:25:01 | |
And up goes J-Force2. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:03 | |
'Target has entered the gate.' | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 | |
Immediately, Vortex fire off a couple | 0:25:12 | 0:25:14 | |
of rounds, but they don't hit. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:16 | |
Go down, go down. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
J-Force2 takes evasive action | 0:25:19 | 0:25:21 | |
and heads to the deck. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:22 | |
But then, boom! Vortex scores a hit. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
Hit me already! | 0:25:26 | 0:25:27 | |
Yes, they did, J-Force2. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:28 | |
-Shoot, shoot. -'Direct hit.' | 0:25:36 | 0:25:38 | |
And there's another one, just for good measure. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
Ha-ho! | 0:25:41 | 0:25:42 | |
And now J-Force2 get | 0:25:47 | 0:25:48 | |
their act together quickly | 0:25:48 | 0:25:49 | |
with a counterattack. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:50 | |
Shoot. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:52 | |
And pow! They hit Vortex. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
That was a great strike. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
We've been hit twice. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
And another one. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:06 | |
This is turning out to be an absolute classic here. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:10 | |
Two apiece. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
Keep going, Joel. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:13 | |
Now it's Vortex's turn to get one in. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:15 | |
Can they? Yes, they do. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
J-Force2 really need to be careful now. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:20 | |
They've only got one life left. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:24 | |
I'll shoot it. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:25 | |
Shoot, Dad. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
Hang on, no. No time to be careful. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:33 | |
Vortex have scored a fourth hit. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:35 | |
That's it. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:36 | |
And the competition ends here for J-Force2 as they fall to the | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
mighty Vortex who will now go | 0:26:40 | 0:26:41 | |
through to the semifinal. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:43 | |
What a corker of a battle that was. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
-Fast and furious. Amazing stuff. You all right? -Yeah. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:51 | |
OK, well, I think we know the score, but let's get it clarified by | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
the Air Marshall because, quite frankly, that was chaos. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:57 | |
Air Marshall. | 0:26:57 | 0:26:58 | |
'Dogfight over.' | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
There it is, in black and white, well, red and yellow. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:04 | |
Vortex have beaten J-Force2 by two lives and booked them | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
a place in the semifinal. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
Joel, amazing. How are you feeling? | 0:27:09 | 0:27:11 | |
I can't believe it. It's great. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:12 | |
Well done, Team Vortex. Brilliant stuff. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:14 | |
Unfortunately, that does mean | 0:27:14 | 0:27:16 | |
that, J-Force2, you guys are grounded. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
-Have you had a good day? -Oh, it's been amazing. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
-I've never done anything like it. -Brilliant. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
Well, you were both great aviators. Thank you. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
And that does mean that you guys, | 0:27:25 | 0:27:27 | |
Team Vortex, we'll see you in the semifinal. Congratulations, guys. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
But until then, it's time for Airmaggedon to power down. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
And for these guys to step up. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:35 | |
I didn't crash, so I'm proud about that. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
My Airmaggedon highlight is to have customised | 0:27:44 | 0:27:47 | |
a drone shell cos it was really fun. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
Good luck, Team Vortex, in the semifinals. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:57 | |
'Airmaggedon power down.' | 0:28:01 | 0:28:03 |
