To convince his best buddy, Callum, that he's a stunt driving demon.

where we help people like you pull off the prank of their lives.

Ninjas, pedal to the metal.

# Here we go Come on join the Prank Patrol. #

Ooh.

Ooh.

That's definitely our prankster. Let's go get him, Ninjas.

-Are you Dominic?

-Yeah.

-Did you apply for Prank Patrol's help?

-Yeah.

-Congratulations,

-you're the newest member of the team.

-Cool.

-You're going to need this. Stick your vest on.

-Nice one.

-It feels good, doesn't it?

-Yeah.

That's your pass to prank. Hold it, feel good.

Mum, I need to borrow him for a while, is that OK?

-No problem.

-Awesome, follow me, Dom.

Meet our newest prankster,

ten-year-old Dominic Dilger.

This crackers car nut just loves to watch Top Gear.

Dom would love to be a big-time businessman

so that he can buy himself another Lamborghini.

Perhaps one a little bigger next time, though.

-Cool!

-Dominic, I know you know your stuff about cars,

so what do you reckon to this bad boy - the Prank Van?

-I have to say, it is cool, but not exactly a speed machine, is it?

-Hey,

if you've got the cool, the speed don't matter, because the cool rule.

-Right, who are we pranking?

-My best mate, Callum.

-Why?

Because at school, there's a group of our friends,

and we all like pranking each other, but he thinks he's the best.

I want to show him that he's not, but I am.

Let's check out Ninja surveillance,

find out about this so-called Callum.

Dom and Callum have been best friends for three years,

mainly down to their love of cars.

This competitive combo are always battling each other,

whether it be football teams, computer games,

or fancy-dress chess!

But, will they still be checkmates after the prank?

Well, I have to say, Dominic,

I think Callum is a wheely good candidate for this prank!

I'm doing jokes.

Not funny. OK, well, let's talk then.

So, you're both into cars, what shall we do?

I just want to make it look like I'm a better driver than him.

-Like you're a better driver? How old are you, 21, 22?

-Ten.

Right, I don't think you can drive at ten. So, how are we going

to make him believe you're a better driver when you can't?

We could make it look like I'm driving the car, but I'm not.

The old switch-aroo. It's a classic.

Callum's going to see you get in the car

and the car's going to drive off.

He thinks you're driving it.

But we'll have a stunt double in the car already,

-you'll climb over him!

-He won't believe his eyes.

How about somebody has heard that this kid is driving stunts

in a car park, or something, and a Formula One scout comes

and offers you a contract? He'll be fake of course,

but Callum won't know that.

You get offered a contract for being a cool driver.

A multi-million pound contract.

Let's crank it up.

Why don't we get this car to perform?

If we've got a stunt driver,

let's make him do stuff, cos he'll think it's you.

-What shall we have the car do?

-Like, skids and turns...

even going on two wheels.

A two-wheeled prank, you don't see them often.

I tell you what, I've got a nice car joke.

What happens when a frog's car breaks down?

-I don't know.

-It gets "toad" away.

Boo!

Cos a frog is like a toad,

they're not the same by any stretch of the imagination...

Is that the best you've got?

Pretty much.

Shall we just...

-Yeah.

-Yeah, you tell them.

-Ninjas, take us to prank HQ!

-Yeah!

The blueprint for Dominic's car prank is -

one day at a racetrack,

coupled with one bogus Formula One scout.

Add in a stunt driver who pulls the old switch-aroo with Dominic

and you've got a prank that's packed with sensational stunts

that will drive Callum crazy.

Cheers, Ninjas. Here we are, Dom, Prank HQ. What do you think?

-Whoa, cool!

-It's about to get even more exciting,

because this is where I make all the stuff

for your prank. Where do you want to start?

Maybe the stunt car, to see some skids.

I thought you'd say that, so I called and spoke to the Ninjas,

and they've sorted out stuntman, Rob, who's waiting for us.

Follow me. Cheers, Ninjas.

Oh. Well, that's weird. I've just spoken to Rob, our stunt guy,

and he said he'd meet us in here, but he's not here, is he?

I can't see him anywhere. I wonder where he is.

ENGINE REVS

-Huh?

-What's that?

-Whoa!

-Ha-ha-ha!

There he is!

TYRES SCREECH

That's how you make an entrance!

I knew that was coming and I thought that was awesome.

-Nice!

-Right, Dominic, welcome your very own professional stunt driver.

-This is Rob. Hi, Rob.

-How are you doing, Dominic?

Hi, Rob, fine thanks.

Impressive stuff.

Dom, this is your prank, so it's up to you to tell Rob

what you want him to do in the car.

I want skids and turns, and going on two wheels, doughnuts,

stuff like that.

-Going on two wheels? No problem.

-You can do that?

-We can do that.

We do have one slight problem though -

Dominic doesn't have a driving licence.

So, we need to make it look like he's driving the car,

-even though he won't be.

-OK, so we'll have the Ninjas

black out the windows, so it looks like an empty car.

What I'll do, I'll sneak into the car.

Dominic gets in the car, climbs over me into the passenger seat,

we zip round the corner,

out you get and then off we go into the good stuff.

-It's the old switch-aroo.

-Yeah. So, fancy a spin?

Oh, I'd love to, I thought you'd never ask.

I'm not taking you, you screamed like a baby last time.

Come on, Dom, I've got a helmet for you. We'll get you strapped in.

Nice one.

Dominic seems confident, but Rob's told him what he's about to do.

Now, I know what he can do and it's scary. Let's see if Dominic screams.

Are you ready?

-I'm ready.

-Here we go. Nice and gentle to start with.

Whoa! This is insane!

I'd like to point out that Rob is a trained professional.

If you do have car at home, please don't try to attempt this.

He knows what he's doing and you don't.

Ooooh!

Just like parking at the supermarket, really, isn't it?

Rob, that was awesome. Dom, how are you feeling?

That was the best drive of my life.

Callum's not going to believe his eyes.

That's a good thing to be able to say.

Ah!

Who's put oil on the door handle?

Ninjas!

Uh-oh!

THEY ALL SCREAM AND LAUGH

HE LAUGHS

'Can I take your order, please?'

Oh, hi, yes please.

Can I have two cheeseburgers, a chicken burger, a veggie burger,

a fish Burger, two large fries, three large fries,

and a large drink? That's it for me. What do you want?

I want to stop messing around and bling up this car.

You want to bling this car? All right, Ninjas, you heard the man.

Let's step on it. Get some welly into it.

So, we've met our stunt driver, Rob.

We've got our car, which is our stunt car.

What we need is a name that spells out excitement and danger

to stick on the car to make it look cooler.

Let's start with the basics. What does the car do?

-It's going to skid.

-And we've got a man in it. Skid Man.

What do you think of that one?

-No, a bit...

-It sounds like he's done a poo on the road.

Yeah, let's not do that. What else have we got?

-It's dangerous, we need a danger element.

-Danger...

-what's a good name for danger?

-Danger Derek, Dangerous Donny.

-Nah, I don't like that one.

-Let's think of something else.

What do you think about when you think about stunts?

What do you call a nice car?

-Like a hot rod.

-So, Hot Rod.

And the stunt driver's Rob, so that's quite similar.

-Hot Rod and a surname...

-McKean?

-Hot Rod McKean.

McKean?

-McCloud. Like a cloud of smoke.

-You're working like a genius.

A cloud of smoke, Rob... That's working very well for me.

That looks like a logo to me.

-I like it.

-Yeah? Shall we go with it?

-Yeah.

-One of those. Let's get it printed and stick it on the car.

The car looks wicked. It looks just how I wanted it to look

and it looks even better with Hot Rod McCloud on it.

Look at him go, Hot Rod McCloud, one of them.

In this prank, we have to make it out like

Callum has injured our stunt driver.

Cos that's when the switch-aroo happens, and...

-I step into the car.

-How are we going to get Callum

-to injure our stunt driver?

-Slip on a banana skin.

The old cartoon classic.

I like the slipping thing, that's a good idea.

-Can you pass me that oil, please?

-Yeah, sure.

-Oh!

-Oh!

-What have you done? There's oil all over the place!

That could be dangerous!

I didn't...

-I wasn't... I didn't do anything!

-It's supposed to happen.

I got the Ninjas to rig it up

because that's what's going to happen.

He's going to get asked to pass the oil, and our stunt guy is

going to come in and slip on the oil, which, of course, is when you

-get into the car, drive off and start doing the stunts.

-I like it.

So, then, what I thought we could do is crank the prank up a little bit.

-What have you got in mind?

-Have a look at this.

Just pull that off.

Oh yes. The stunt FX remote car control unit. This is basically

a big remote control. We'll get Callum to stand behind it

and flick loads of switches.

What's going to happen is the car will perform different things.

Even though you're driving... pretend driving it, Rob will be.

The one button we're going to get him to press is the SWR,

which is a very important button.

-What does that stand for?

-Steering Wheel Release.

-Ahh!

-Sound good?

-Oh, yeah.

-Good.

So, we're all set for the prank.

Only one thing left to do, you should tell them.

-Ninjas, load the van!

-Yes, please.

And, while they do that,

here's a prank you can get your teeth into at home.

Did you know that you can make

scary videos of ghosts with a mobile phone?

Well, you can, with today's recipe.

Just take a mobile phone,

a black marker and a tiny strip of clear plastic.

Take the marker and draw a little person on the piece of plastic.

Next, hold the mobile in your hand

and hide the plastic strip under your fingers.

Then, in a dark hallway or cellar,

tell your friends that the place is haunted,

and, to prove it, shoot a video.

While you're shooting, secretly slide the piece of plastic

back and forth in front of the lens.

It will totally look to your friends like a ghostly figure.

There, isn't that spooky?

So, in your prank, a Formula One scout

is going to offer you a lucrative contract deal, but he can't

do that unless he's seen you drive.

And is that why we're at a go-karting track?

If you drive round the track, he can come over

and give you encouraging words like, "I've not seen driving like that

-"since ten-year-old Lewis Hamilton."

-Oh, yeah!

While we're here, we could get a practice in. Fancy a quick race?

Go on, then. I hope you're used to losing.

And they're off, Dominic takes the lead heading into

the first corner.

Dominic is straight through, and Barney is lagging behind...

As Dominic is still in the lead,

here comes the chequered flag, and it's Dominic by a nose!

If you drive like that,

Callum will be convinced that you're a Formula One driver.

-It'll be the best prank ever.

-I can't wait.

-One more thing to do, do you want to tell them?

-Ninjas!

Take us to the prank location!

So, here we are, Dom.

-Welcome to your prank location. What do you think?

-It's well good.

There's Evos, Imprezas - it looks like a real racing track.

Because it is a real racing track.

Those are real sports cars over there.

We don't do things by halves on Prank Patrol.

Follow me, I'll show you the juicy bits.

Welcome to race control.

This is where the Formula One scout

-is going to offer you a contract deal.

-It looks cool.

The Ninjas have set some stuff up.

They still are doing. Nice work, Ninjas.

They've got some statistics and data which relates

to your race, you'll find out about that later.

Are you happy with the room?

Could we have like a press conference?

A press conference that gets called cos you're a cool stunt driver.

-Yeah.

-Good idea.

Well, if Callum thinks his world is on the up at this point,

he's very wrong.

This is the car park - the finale of the prank.

This is where you're going to do your stunts.

But Rob'll be driving.

And that's the ramp he's going to go up to get him on to two wheels.

That's going to be the ultimate finale.

-I can't wait to see Callum's face - I'm quite excited

-I am. But,

-there's still a lot more to be done.

-There is.

There are two people who can sort that.

Ninjas, get to it, chop-chop! We've not got all day.

-Honestly.

-Cup of tea?

-Yeah, one sugar.

The Ninjas have everything ready.

The only problem now is you've got to have nerves of steel,

as well as buns. Because you've got to make a phone call to Callum

to get him down to the prank.

Let's talk about what he knows. What have you told him so far?

I've told him I've won a competition and it's something about go-karting.

OK, are you ready?

-I'm nervous.

-Bring it on.

Here's your phone, the number's already in,

you just have to press call, OK.

-Then stick it on speakerphone so we can enjoy it as well.

-3, 2, 1...

-RINGING

-Hello.

Hiya, Cal. It's Dom.

-You know the competition I won?

-Yeah.

I've been asked to bring a friend for definite, and I was wondering

-if you want to come?

-Yeah.

Cool, I'll get my mum to phone you later with some details.

-See you later.

-Bye.

OK, so you've made the call, he's going to be there.

He sounds quite cool actually.

Let's do a lefty.

Let's get to it, follow me.

I'm confident, come on!

Our prankster, Dominic Dilger wants to prank his best mate,

into believing he's a sensational stunt-car driver.

Will the prank be Ram Jam?

Or will it just be a traffic jam?

It's time to burn rubber and find out.

OK, not to make anyone too nervous, but Callum is on his way.

It's definitely set up. So, meet Graham.

He's going to be our Formula One scout.

John Wachowski today, fellas, thank you.

Of course, John Wachowski. Anything to say?

Talk about the contract, millions remember.

-How's about billions?

-Got to make it sound really cool.

-Sweet.

-Lovely, see you.

Andy is our actor who is playing Hot Rod McCloud.

Be self-centred, over-confident.

-Yeah, sweet, I can do that.

-Nice one, get into position.

-And we have Rob, our stunt driver. How's it going, Rob?

-Good, thanks.

What do you want to say to him?

Don't forget to take your steering wheel.

Quite important, get yourself in position.

Rob is going to get into position, he's going

to be in the car when you sneak into it, so that's all set.

-Just one more thing to do.

-Ninjas, hide the van.

And quickly he's coming, come on.

It's Prank Time!

So, Dominic and Callum have just

arrived and have put on their race suits ready to meet Hot Rod McCloud.

Let the pranking commence.

Ah, competition winners?

-Yeah.

-Names?

-I'm Dominic.

-Dominic.

-Callum.

-Callum. Where are you from?

We're from Bury.

And you won the competition to come and meet

-superstars like myself?

-Yeah.

Big day today, you've come on a good day because there

is a Formula One scout coming today, in fact he's already here.

So today's my big day, my big chance.

This is the chief scout for Formula One.

I already know I'm going to be better than Lewis Hamilton,

I'm going to be better than Michael Schumacher.

Just call me Newis...Hamil-shacker.

Beautiful work, Hot Rod, but now let's get down to business.

You won a competition, you've come to have fun.

You want to have a go of the go-kart?

It's all about health and safety, so let's go this way.

All seems to be going well so far.

Before the boys are let loose on the track,

-the Hot Rod has some words of advice.

-I like to feel the course.

Every course I go on, I feel it, you know?

No.

I feel it, I touch it, I want to be it, I need to get to know it,

I like to lick the course.

-Seriously?

-Yeah, yeah.

You don't have to, I'm not going to ask you to,

but everyone has their own little things.

It's not just gravel to me, I like to lick it.

-Eurgh!

-Gross!

-And then I want to walk around it.

I'm going to start walking, we're going to start our engines, as us.

Yeah? Start your engines.

-BOYS: Broom! Brrroom!

-Louder!

Brilliant, what better preparation is there than running round a track

making car noises?

Only now are they ready for some go-kart action.

These laps, they are going to be timed.

So you're going for your best lap, OK? Give it your best shot.

Not only are they being timed, but the laps will also

be monitored by our F1 scout, John Wachowski,

who's conveniently just arrived. It's almost as if we'd planned it.

How are you? Not bad, lovely to see you here.

Nicely held that, nicely held.

Brilliant, F1 scout, John Wachowski is looking

suitably impressed by the boys' driving,

-but will they believe what he's got in store for them?

-Excellent.

Lovely to meet you, thanks a lot. Take care, see you soon.

Got something very exciting to tell you.

You're not going to believe this. It's one of them days.

-You know the scout, did you see him pull up?

-Yeah.

He can spot talent a mile off. I don't know who took that corner,

but he was impressed by it and he wants to see you in ten minutes.

Callum, what do you think of that?

-It's weird.

-Isn't it weird?

It is kind of weird, but Callum seems to be buying it so let's get

John Wachowski to seal the deal by showing them some fake race stats.

I was watching you boys out there, and you're pretty quick.

But there's a difference between looking quick and being quick.

First, we're going to analyse the times.

And these boys have got those speeds? Goodness me.

This is how well you're going round corners.

-Oh, yes!

-And can you compare those to our pros?

This is them at a similar age to you guys, doing a similar track.

This is unbelievable,

you are quicker than Jensen and Lewis were at their age.

Quicker than Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton? Really?

This is a once-in-a-career find.

OK, deal, how does this sound?

I go and get a contract here today,

I sign you boys up to my agency here.

Do you like the idea of buying into the Formula One lifestyle?

-Yeah.

-I'll be back with a contract.

Right, come on.

Great work, you've really convinced the boys

they are about to become F1 drivers.

Let's give Callum the chance for it all to sink in.

-Formula One races. I want a yacht.

-I want a yacht.

-I want a speedboat.

-I want a speedboat yacht.

I want a GTi

with a yacht underneath it and a speedboat engine.

Yeah, I want one of them as well. If I knew what it was.

It's so exciting.

Strike while the iron is hot, as the old saying goes.

What I've got here for you now, boys, is a contract each.

I've had a quick chat with your parents and do you know what,

they're as stunned as I am.

What I need you to do, contract, blah, blah, blah, blah. Sign there.

Brilliant, Callum is signing a contract that he thinks is worth

millions of pounds. So, what's next for the world's newest F1 stars?

A TV interview with BBC Sport of course.

OK, it's with me, but Callum doesn't know that.

I might have found the new world champions, it's unbelievable.

-We have on my right here...

-I'm called, Dominic.

-And we have on my left?

-Callum.

Think of them as world champions, people.

What experience do you actually have of driving?

-Nothing.

-None really.

Is there much rivalry - do you want to beat each other?

We like to beat each other,

but we are still friends.

We're still friends, if we went into F1 we'd probably join the same team.

That's nice.

But will they still want to be on the same team

after we've cracked the prank and sent them back to see

Hot Rod who is preparing for his stunt display for the F1 scout?

You have signed up for F1?

-We are F1 drivers.

-How old are you?

-Ten.

We've just done a press conference as well.

This is making me nervous because I'm like,

"Oh no, he's asked to see some of my turns and stunts and stuff."

Whilst Hot Rod's got them distracted,

there's Rob, our real stunt driver

sneaking into the car, ready to switch with Dominic.

Careful though, Rob. Callum thinks the stunt car is empty.

If he sees you get into it, this whole prank is ruined.

Good work, Rob.

Some people need to relax, they get a massage and they need massage oil.

Not the Hot Rod, do you know what I need? Oil.

-Car oil?

-We're not talking cooking oil, motor oil.

Pass me that, I'll show you what I do.

-Go get that.

-Just pass me the...

What I do, I get my motor oil...

-Careful, Callum.

-Lift it, it's heavy...

-Argh!

-Oh! What have you done?

-Oh, dear.

-What did you do?

Remind me, Hot Rod, is oil slippery?

Argh!

Great fall, Hot Rod, absolute classic.

Why did you spill it?

-Now, if you could just fake a hand injury for us...

-That's sore,

I'm not going to be able to drive for him now, am I?

I need my left hand more than anything. Oh, no!

-Who's going to drive then?

-Us?

-What...

-You.

He won't even know.

Listen, listen.

It's an automatic, stick that on, he's not going to know, is he?

Callum, are you up for this? I reckon you give it a go.

-Yeah.

-Come on, come on.

Callum, just watch that, yeah.

Look at his face! Callum truly believes

Dominic is going to drive the stunt car, it's going well!

ENGINE STARTS

-TYRES SCREECH

-Nice work from stunt driver, Rob.

He's kangarooing to make it look like Dom's driving

for the first time.

He is mental!

He'll be OK, they won't know.

Now we have Callum totally believing Dom is driving the car.

It's time for the old switch and for Dom to get out of there

before the serious stunts start.

-How is it going?

-Great.

-Is he going for it?

-Yeah.

Excellent. Cheers, Rob, see you in a bit.

Callum is going to think you are in the car driving.

This is your communication gear,

put the walkie-talkie in your pocket.

You'll be speaking to him,

but he's going to think you're in the car, OK?

Quick cos he's coming.

You should be able to hear him in a minute.

-Hello.

-Dominic, hello.

Now, remember, Callum and Hot Rod are in this tent here.

Whilst Dominic and I are hiding in this other tent over here.

But Callum thinks Dom is in the car, ready to drive and he also thinks

if he uses the control desk that we made at Prank HQ, he can

actually assist with the stunts.

You can tell him to do things like handbrake flips like that,

but we don't want him to do anything too adventurous.

I will try some handbrake turns.

TYRES SCREECH

-What's he...? Tell him to be careful.

-Be careful, be careful.

-I'm sorry, I've never done this before.

-Go forward.

-What's he doing?

-What are you doing?

-I can't control it.

-What are you doing?

Arghhh! I can't control it!

-Get down.

-Ahhh!

-I'm trying to.

-Well try harder.

-Thank you, Dominic.

-That hurt, that.

TYRES SCREECH

You can start pressing some of these now and tell him what to do.

-Watch my drift.

-Nice one, Dom!

SHOUTING

Well fit, Dom.

That's it, keep pressing.

Yeah, but make sure you don't press the steering wheel release button

-cos he's probably going to need that...

-What have you done?

Oh, you've pressed it.

-What are you doing?

-I can't get out of it.

Stop!

TYRES SCREECH

Stop!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! What is going on?

Hang on, if you're there, who's in there?

We might be able to help you.

I think we can tell you what's gone on. Callum?

What just happened, have you any idea?

He's blown his car up, then ended up there.

Dom, you tell Callum what happened.

-You've just been pranked by the Prank Patrol!

-I'm going to get you!

APPLAUSE

-Did you really think that was me?

-Yeah.

I thought it was you when you nearly set your car on fire

when you threw the steering wheel out of the car.

A round of applause for Callum, what a great sport.

CLAPPING AND CHEERING

The stunts were really cool, but the best part of it

was Callum actually thought I was the one driving the car.

I thought the stunt car was really cool and my favourite stunt was

when he did the two wheels. I was amazed because I really did think

Dominic was doing those stunts.

This prank had it all. We had millions of pounds,

exploding cardboard boxes,

we had a car on two wheels. Wicked stunts - a guy falling over

pretending to be a famous stunt driver.

This prank had everything. Classic.

-I'm going to try to get him back for this.

-But he won't.

-I will.

-You won't.

-I will.

-You won't.

-I will.

-Seriously, you won't.

-I will!

And so there you have it, another car-razy prank, thanks very much.

So, we'll see you next time. Who knows, the star of the show

-could be you. See you later. Bye.

-Hang on, I'll give you a lift home.

No, quick!
