0:01:16 > 0:01:19In a matter of seconds, I shall fly, unaided, over the cold,

0:01:34 > 0:01:37Jetman UK, are you all right?
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Er, no. No, I really haven't thought this through.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45I kind of forgot that I'm really, really, really scared of heights.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49You're Jetman UK and you're afraid of heights?! Ha!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51More terrified, really.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- I'll do it!- What?!
0:01:54 > 0:01:56I will fly it for you,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00so the media can spread the news of your invention all over the world!
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Well, at least Purley and parts of Croydon.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Give us 'ere!
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Little Howard...
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Little Howard, I'm not sure about this.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22LITTLE HOWARD PANTS
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Aaargh!
0:02:23 > 0:02:27I can't do it either! I'm...
0:02:29 > 0:02:31..scared, Big Howard!
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Little Howard, it's OK. Everyone's scared of something.
0:02:38 > 0:02:44Except me, but not everyone's as brave and fearless as I am.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49I, Little Howard, have come up with another of my BIIIIG Questions!
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Why am I afraid?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54BIG HOWARD SCREAMS
0:03:09 > 0:03:12# I love monkeys, I love monkeys
0:03:12 > 0:03:16# All those happy little chirpy little monkeys
0:03:16 > 0:03:20# With their tails and their bananas
0:03:20 > 0:03:23# I think that if we all were monkeys we'd have happier mananas
0:03:23 > 0:03:25# Give me monkeys, lots of monkeys
0:03:25 > 0:03:29# For you know that it's the monkeys I adore
0:03:29 > 0:03:32# If my love said that she did not love those monkeys
0:03:32 > 0:03:34# I wouldn't love her any more. #
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Thank you very much!
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Oh, perhaps the monkeys have Pomfretphobia...
0:03:43 > 0:03:45which is a fear of monkeys.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Aaaah!
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Ah, monkey four says they're afraid
0:03:51 > 0:03:54of the giant spider by the curtain.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59THEY SCREAM
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- Seriously, we can't go in the house? - My mum won't let me.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Why would I be afraid of heights?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Because they're scary? - No, they're not.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14You're not scared of heights,
0:04:14 > 0:04:18or you wouldn't walk around, ya streak of widdle.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22Go easy on that thing, you're freaking me out!
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- I reckon you have vertigo. - No, vertigo means dizziness.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I think you'll find we've got acrophobia.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31I'm not scared of a crow!
0:04:31 > 0:04:33No, acrophobia is a fear of heights.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Although I am afraid of crows too because they can fly, can't they?
0:04:37 > 0:04:43No, only idiots thinks that's called vertigo. No offence.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44But how do you cure it?
0:04:44 > 0:04:48I conquered my fear by not going anywhere near any for ages.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53This is no good. I need to test if I'm afraid of heights properly!
0:04:53 > 0:05:00- We need to get higher up. Coming? - Erm, no. No, I, erm, forgot to go...
0:05:00 > 0:05:03rollerblading with, er... Princess Anne?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- Really!? Wow! - No, you're not.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Come on, Big Howard'll pay for lunch.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- For everything? I- don't know... - You're on!
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Well, if I'm going out in public, I should really do this incognito.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18That'll do.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Come on, Big Howard.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- I don't believe you're not scared of anything!- No. I'm not.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29I'm really very brave.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Skiing?
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Wah! Mountains?
0:05:32 > 0:05:33No.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- Geese?- Urgh! Flying geese?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Nope.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Skiing geese?
0:05:40 > 0:05:41I'm gonna be sick!
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Injections!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Wah - you have them when you go on holiday...in a plane! Ooh!
0:05:58 > 0:06:01No, I'm not afraid of injections.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- Girls?- Aaargh!- What have girls got to do with heights?
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Nothing, I'm just terrified of girls.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Wow, you really are scared of heights.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42HE SCREAMS
0:06:49 > 0:06:50What are you doing?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06BIG HOWARD SHOUTS
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Right, you!
0:07:12 > 0:07:17What's this? "Wish You Weren't Here?
0:07:17 > 0:07:22"Are you afraid of heights, and a stupid friend of yours
0:07:22 > 0:07:24"suggested going up a tall building to cure yourself?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27"Don't listen to him, call me...
0:07:27 > 0:07:29"The Fear Master!"
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Are you afraid of... massive ants?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- No.- No, but really massive ants?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- They're not flying massive ants, are they?- No.- Phew!
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- But one of them is a girl. - Arrgh!- Here we are.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52"The Fear Master's Den of Fear. Please wipe your feet."
0:07:58 > 0:08:02THEY STUMBLE AND THUD
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Actually, there's no-one in. There's no-one actually in.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Hello, are you The Fear Master?
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- Yeah, hi.- Are we...?! Aarrgh!
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I'm guessing he's afraid of heights.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22They usually start at a young age, phobias.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Can you remember anything in your childhood that created this?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29No, I can't think of anything.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Oh, hang on, yes...
0:08:33 > 0:08:36There was one occasion when my dad accidentally attached me
0:08:36 > 0:08:38to a kite and pushed me off a cliff.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43- Attached you to a kite and pushed you off a cliff?- Yes, he did.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46We'll be here some time. Do you want to come back in a while?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49OK. Good luck!
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- String! - No, I'm not afraid of string.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Er...waffles!
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- Mice!- No.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Elephants!
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- No!- Elephants dressed as mice.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03No.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Ooh! Are we playing Guess Everything In Your Brain?
0:09:07 > 0:09:11No, he reckons he's not afraid of anything and I don't believe him.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14He can't believe I'm grown-up and brave,
0:09:14 > 0:09:17just cos he's terrified of going up a tiny ramp!
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Hmm, you're not afraid of anything, you say?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Follow me!
0:09:26 > 0:09:27OK, Jetman?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- UK.- Oh, excuse me, Jetman UK.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32What we're gonna do is picture a movie screen
0:09:32 > 0:09:34and we're going to play,
0:09:34 > 0:09:38from beginning to end in black and white,
0:09:38 > 0:09:42where it first started. OK, so we're going back to that first event.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44So, close your eyes.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Bring that first frame up on the movie screen.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Bring the first frame up of when you first felt that old fear,
0:09:50 > 0:09:55in black and white, and press play right now.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Pause it there. Freeze frame it.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Blank it out. Jump out of the seat and jump into the screen.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07Full colour. See what you see, hear what you hear, feel what you feel.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Now we're going to rewind it ten times the speed, OK?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Three, two, one, Go!
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Bang! Stop it there, Blank it out, out of the screen, into your seat.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18OK, I'm a bit scared now.
0:10:18 > 0:10:25Look at that idiot, swerving all over the road! I blame sat navs.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Imagine, letting a computer drive you round the country!
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Erm, surely...
0:10:30 > 0:10:32CRASH!

0:11:40 > 0:11:44- We must have done! - Curse those ad breaks!
0:11:44 > 0:11:49Oh dear. Mother, I think my fear might be a fear of flying.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Not heights!
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Oh, don't worry, you won't be doing that for long!
0:11:54 > 0:11:58So long as your fear isn't jumping out of aeroplanes, you'll be fine!

0:12:13 > 0:12:18- Yeeeees?- Well, I think I might be...
0:12:18 > 0:12:22a little bit afraid of jumping out of aeroplanes. OK?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25So point proved, well done! Let's go home!
0:12:25 > 0:12:29No! This is a great opportunity to learn how the body reacts to fear!
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Couldn't you just tell us how the body reacts to fear?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36And miss an opportunity to throw you out of an aeroplane? No chance!
0:12:36 > 0:12:40I've hooked you up to some sensors, a heart-rate monitor
0:12:40 > 0:12:43and a body-temperature-checking thingy.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47And we'll check the results when you hit the ground!
0:12:47 > 0:12:51I mean, make a completely safe, perfect textbook landing.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56Although, from these readings, you might not live past take-off.
0:12:56 > 0:13:02Right, when we're ready to go, we're going to put our goggles on...
0:13:02 > 0:13:05your arms crossed holding on the grippers real tight.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Big screams as we leave the aircraft?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09That's not going to be a problem.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Five or six seconds later, I'll give you a tap tap,
0:13:13 > 0:13:16hands out either side of your head. Ready to go now?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Hell, yeah! Bring it on!
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Oh! I've just remembered, erm, I'm 91 years old!
0:13:22 > 0:13:25I'm far too old to do a parachute jump, so big mistake.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Turn the plane around...
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Um...is it normal to be terrified?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Of course it is but you're in safe hands.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35OK! Let's do it!
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- Oh 'eck!- Yippee-ki-yay!
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Stop it there, blank it out. OK. Jump into the screen.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47We're going to rewind at 100,000 times.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Shout it, Jetman UK, full colour, feel what you feel.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Crank the colour up, crank the intensity up, crank the volume up.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Go Jetman UK!! - Stop it there, blank it out.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Jump out of the screen, bring it up in black and white.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02You may find you cannot.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Where is it?
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Where is it? It's...
0:14:08 > 0:14:10It's gone..

0:15:24 > 0:15:29Aaaaargh!
0:15:47 > 0:15:52- Woo!- Well done, Howard. Excellent job.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55We fell out of a plane and we're alive!
0:15:55 > 0:15:58That was such a radical rush, man!
0:15:58 > 0:16:00I was really scared but I did it!
0:16:00 > 0:16:05And now I feel great! It's like Christmas in my tummy!
0:16:05 > 0:16:06AWESOME!
0:16:06 > 0:16:10What happened to Big Howard's heart rate?
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Wow! Stay still, Mother!
0:16:13 > 0:16:15When I jumped out the plane, my heart rate almost doubled.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17That is what's called adrenaline.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Oh! Didn't you used to play badminton with them, Big Howard?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24No, that was Adrian and Lynn.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Adrenaline is like the chemical that your brain makes when you're scared.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30It gives you the energy to run away.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35Yeah! I feel like I could kick a bear up the bum! And run away!
0:16:35 > 0:16:39And I think it might also make you want to have a poo.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Adrenalin is brilliant!
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Yeah, it's like a disco in my mind and everyone's invited.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48How soon can I do a flashback to that?
0:16:48 > 0:16:53It was great! Oh, what the heck, they do it on Cbeebies!
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Yeah, what a rush!
0:17:13 > 0:17:15That was, like, totally gnarly!
0:17:15 > 0:17:19My circuits are buzzing like a hornets nest yo!
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Let's do it again!
0:17:21 > 0:17:26- Oh dear.- Wooo! Where's the flumping plane, dude?!
0:17:31 > 0:17:34We jumped out of a plane, Big Howard!
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I feel like I could do anything.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38In fact...
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Oh! Little Howard, do be careful! No!
0:17:41 > 0:17:44# Being afraid is for bum-heads

0:19:11 > 0:19:15# I don't have hot wings or chicken legs!
0:19:15 > 0:19:18# I don't strut about pecking at sawdust
0:19:18 > 0:19:24# I never say buuuuuck! And I don't lay eggs! #
0:19:27 > 0:19:30To infidelity and beyond!
0:19:33 > 0:19:40I can't believe it - I've chickened out again! Fear has beaten me!
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Oh, thank goodness for that! - It won't beat me any more though!
0:19:43 > 0:19:45BOTH: Jetman UK!
0:19:45 > 0:19:49That's me and I intend to no longer be unintentionally hilarious!
0:19:49 > 0:19:53The Fear Master has taught me fears can keep you safe
0:19:53 > 0:19:56but when you let them rule your life it's a problem.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59There was a time when flying with this jetpack
0:19:59 > 0:20:01would have filled my pants.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05But now it will fulfil my destiny... not my pants.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10- Good for you, Jetman! You're a braver man than I am!- Yes, I am.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Farewell!
0:20:20 > 0:20:22JETMAN SCREAMS
0:20:22 > 0:20:24CRASH!
0:20:24 > 0:20:25Oh dear.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36So, the Fear Master cured you of your fear of heights then?
0:20:36 > 0:20:41Yes. Turns out I should have been afraid of my engineering ability.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45What was the phrase they used to describe your jetpack?
0:20:45 > 0:20:50A "flying death-trap!" Note they used the word "flying".
0:20:50 > 0:20:53So I was kind of right to be afraid?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Yep. What you felt wasn't an irrational fear of heights,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58it may have been a very astute suspicion
0:20:58 > 0:21:02that my jet-pack might not actually work very well.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04At all.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Neither of you should have touched that jetpack with a bargepole.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12We couldn't reach it with a bargepole! It's stuck up that tree.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Perhaps it's for the best.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Not for the tree, it's still on fire.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- Are you going to be OK, Jetman? - Yeah, don't worry.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24I'll be in here for another three months but that's not so bad.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28The food's good and at least it gets me out of the shed.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Plus I've got a lovely view!
