0:00:23 > 0:00:28Hello, and welcome to the Mighty Man Of Steel contest,
0:00:28 > 0:00:31with worldwide competitors,
0:00:31 > 0:00:34each hoping to be the most powerful man on Earth.
0:00:34 > 0:00:39Let's go to where the athletes are getting ready for round one.
0:00:39 > 0:00:44The question is, will Britain's Denis Ramsbottom manage
0:00:44 > 0:00:47to hold onto last year's title?
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Wonder where Denis is?
0:00:50 > 0:00:55Can't wait to see his face when he finds out we're his team trainers!
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Me neither. Us, a pair of trainers!
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Better than a pair of wellies. I'll try over there.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03How will you recognise him?
0:01:03 > 0:01:07I've got a picture from Mighty Man Of Steel magazine.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- Should be easy to spot. - Yeah. See you!
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Beg pardon!
0:01:19 > 0:01:23- Ahem. Are you looking for me? - Don't think so. Who are you?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Denis Ramsbottom.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- Yer not!- I am!
0:01:28 > 0:01:29- Yer not!- I am!
0:01:29 > 0:01:30- Are you?!- Yeah.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- Oh, dear.- Can't find him.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- I'm here.- I'm looking for Denis Ramsbottom.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39- I AM Denis Ramsbottom.- Yer not!
0:01:39 > 0:01:40- I am!- Yer not!
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- He is!- Is he?- Yes!
0:01:42 > 0:01:44I haven't been to the gym much.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- I kind of lost interest. - And some weight!
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Don't worry, I'm stronger than I look.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54He'd have to be. Can you hold that a minute, please?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59We'll have to make the best of it.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Go home, you mean?- No!
0:02:01 > 0:02:05With training, he might surprise the favourite.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Why, what's he gonna do to him? Who's the favourite?
0:02:08 > 0:02:13Some fellow from Sweden. Signus Magnusbomb or something.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- Magnus Sorenson. - 'Scuse me, we're having a convers...
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Oh, hi, Magnus. Is that Maggie for short?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Or long, as the case may be.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Pleased to meet you. I'm Denis Ramsbottom.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28BONES CRUNCH
0:02:28 > 0:02:31If that is all you have to offer, the title is mine.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39That's what he thinks! We'll win, or my name's not Paul Chuckle.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- What will I call you instead? - Don't you start!
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- I've a bad back and a sprained wrist! - Think of your good name!
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- Denis isn't that good a name. - He did that on purpose.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54If he did that to me, I wouldn't let him get away with it.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Hold this.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Whoa!
0:03:11 > 0:03:14I think he got away with it.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18- That's it.- Ah, that's better.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Now. Let's get back to the competition.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23No point. Denis can't compete.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- Denis can't, but I know a man who can.- Who?
0:03:27 > 0:03:32- Forget it!- Pardon?- No way.- No way? - None whatsoever.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Round one is the boulder roll. First over the line wins.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Made even more dramatic
0:03:43 > 0:03:47by the withdrawal of Britain's Denis Ramsbottom.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51His replacement, Barry Chuckle, has never competed before,
0:03:51 > 0:03:55so we wish him luck as he flies the flag for the nation.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- Now, all you've got to do is win. - Is that all?
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- You heard her, half the nation's behind you.- Can they give me a hand?
0:04:04 > 0:04:08- Ooh, look out! - Just want to wish you good luck.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Not going to fall for that one again!
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- We know what you did to Denis, you cheat!- Cheat? Me? Never!
0:04:15 > 0:04:17How can you say that?
0:04:17 > 0:04:18He opened his mouth and out it came!
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- No hard feelings. - May the best man win.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Thank you. He probably will.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26'On your marks...
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Oh, quick, quick!
0:04:30 > 0:04:32'..get set... Go!'
0:04:34 > 0:04:36C'mon! Come on!
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Come on!
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- I'm trying! - Out the way, I'll get it started.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Stupid thing!
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Right...
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Whoa!
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- You all right?- I will be when you get this rock off me.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Sorry.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13A great victory for Barry Chuckle!
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Eh? What?!
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Well done!- We won!
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Round two will really test their mettle. It's the caber toss.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32Each man of steel will have to toss a half-ton caber as far as they can.
0:05:32 > 0:05:38It calls for strength, balance, speed and excellent timing.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Erm... Half past four.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Gentlemen... To your cabers.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Oi!
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- BOTH: Hiya! - Don't you "hiya" me!
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- No-ya?- Don't "no-ya" me, either! You got a break.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54This time you won't be so lucky!
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Neither will you if you don't tie your shoelace!
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Hold this!
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Ooh! Now you've done it!
0:06:05 > 0:06:06- To you...- No, to you!
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- No, to you.- No, to you! - To you!- To you!
0:06:09 > 0:06:13'First contender, Magnus Sorenson.'
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Did you feel that? - No, I got out the way.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- No, the weight of it. D'you know what?- What?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- I reckon he's cheating.- Away!
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Not for the first time. That wedge didn't get itself under your rock.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Watch!
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- You could be right.- I know I am. - 'Next up, Barry Chuckle.'
0:06:37 > 0:06:39C'mon, your turn.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Show him what you're made of.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46I'd like to keep that to meself, if you don't mind.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Just get on with it!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Oh, steady! Steady now! Steady!
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Throw it!
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Get this thing off me!
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Steady...
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Hey, that was lucky! You could have got a nasty splinter.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22SAWING
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Right, I'm gonna show him what a Chuckle is all about.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- I think he's worked that out. - He can't put one over on me.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- What?- What we're gonna do is fight fire with...
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- Water?- ..with water. No, with fire!
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- He's cheating, so we'll cheat too. - I thought cheats never prosper.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- You also thought that love makes the world go round.- True.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45We all know it's a pixie on a bike.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Leave this to me.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Welcome back.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Round three is about pure strength.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03It's basically a motor race, but a motor race with a difference.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06The competitors have to pull this truck
0:08:06 > 0:08:09using only their brute strength.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14The quickest so far is Magnus Superman Sorenson, with this pull.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21He crossed the line in 50.1 seconds,
0:08:21 > 0:08:24which leaves the others with a lot to do.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Next up is...- Big blouse. - ..big blouse Barry Chuckle.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32Spaghetti legs! Where's the ugly one? Couldn't bear to watch?
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- He's otherwise occupied.- I thought he'd be giving advice. Want some?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- Yes, please. - Have you done this before?- No.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42In that case, my advice would be - don't!
0:08:42 > 0:08:44HE LAUGHS
0:08:46 > 0:08:51Take the strain... And pull!
0:08:53 > 0:08:55ENGINE STARTS
0:09:08 > 0:09:10HORN BLASTS
0:09:14 > 0:09:20And the winner is Britain's own Barry Chuckle, by 20 seconds!
0:09:21 > 0:09:26- Just a minute! I smell something odd.- That'll be the lorry.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- It's a fish wagon.- Fish wagon?
0:09:28 > 0:09:29Yeah.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31CLUNK!
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- So...- Now, now! Nobody likes a sore loser.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Oh...
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Shall we just call it a tie?
0:09:38 > 0:09:39No.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Let's call THIS a tie!
0:09:51 > 0:09:53SAWING
0:09:53 > 0:09:56This is the last time he does this to me!
0:09:56 > 0:10:00- Only because you've been banned. - I know.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01How dare they ban me!
0:10:01 > 0:10:06- You were caught cheating, that's how.- I was just evening up the odds.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11But I've been disqualified from the truck-pull, and he's leading 2-1.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15It's the barrel run next. I'll hide in a barrel and stick me feet out.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- I'll do it my way.- Suit yourself. But you're on your own.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- Promise?- Promise.- Good!
0:10:24 > 0:10:27If I leave it to him it'll never get done.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31The final and deciding round starts here.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35The object is for the competitors to carry their barrels cross country
0:10:35 > 0:10:38and across the line.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Sweden's Man Mountain Magnus Sorenson is leading,
0:10:40 > 0:10:44but there are a lot of points at stake, and that could change.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Take your barrels...
0:10:45 > 0:10:48HOOTER
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Ah, well. Come on, Barry, deep breath.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01It'll have to be deeper than that.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- You're not supposed to be here! - Neither are you. That way!
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Just a minute!
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Afternoon!
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Hey!
0:11:35 > 0:11:39That's funny. His barrel's full of water.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- How did that get there?- Oh, dear.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Oh, no. You did it! I said I wasn't going to cheat.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48You're not. I am. I suggest we get out of here before he catches up.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I think it's for the best. Oh!
0:11:53 > 0:11:54Oh...
0:11:54 > 0:11:56I can't see where I'm going!
0:11:56 > 0:11:57Ooh, er...
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Oh, er...
0:12:07 > 0:12:09It turned out nice again.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- That was lucky. - What do you mean, lucky?
0:12:14 > 0:12:20- It could have landed on me! - Something's going to.- Oh, dear.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21I can see the line.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- I can see your legs!- Oops! I never thought of that.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26- What are you doing?- Thinking.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28You'd better think quickly.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30I'm off!
0:12:32 > 0:12:34HE STRAINS
0:12:37 > 0:12:41- And it seems that any moment now we will have a result.- Oh...
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Personally, I think this competition has been a knockout.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Oh, dear.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Ahem.- Oh dear, oh dear.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52I couldn't agree more.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54What do you think you're doing?!
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Saying, "Oh, dear."
0:12:56 > 0:13:00- How about this? You are disqualified. - There's a surprise(!)
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- I've won?- You've lost your barrel, so you're disqualified.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- So who has won?- No-one!
0:13:05 > 0:13:09All the other competitors have scarpered after your shenanigans,
0:13:09 > 0:13:13so last year's champion retains the title by default.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18Here - it's yours.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Oh, thank you very much.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21Oh...
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Oh, well. All's well that ends well, eh?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Has it all ended well?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Get it over with.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Shame about the cup.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40I suppose that's what's known as letting success go to your head.

0:13:51 > 0:13:52That was lucky.
