0:00:02 > 0:00:05Warning! Kids like you are on the loose with big explosions,
0:00:05 > 0:00:06big stunts and big laughs.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Please do not try any of these at home.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Except for the laughs.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Imagine if you had the chance to play epic pranks on an
0:00:14 > 0:00:16unsuspecting public,
0:00:16 > 0:00:20and access to the best special effects artists in the world.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24And imagine, if a panel of Ranksters thinks your public prank is
0:00:24 > 0:00:30so good, you get to stage a Mega Prank on a target of your choice.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Well, quit imagining. This is Rank the Prank.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Which teams are pranking it up today?
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Let's meet the green team.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48- I'm Louis.- And I'm Albie.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51BOTH: We're Pranking Pandemonium.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55They say great minds think alike. That's just me and Louis.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57We've had loads of experience in pranking.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01We're very competitive and we're going to win this.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04We're going to shock the public with a sneezing statue.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Causing total chaos.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10If we get to the Mega Prank, we will prank our drama teacher.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Miss Law thinks she's the best at everything,
0:01:12 > 0:01:14but we want to show her who's boss.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- We are ready to take our pranking to a whole new level.- So watch out.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Pranking Pandemonium are coming to get you.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Well, you've been warned, so, public, look out.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25But who are they up against?
0:01:25 > 0:01:29It's time to meet the blue team.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- I'm Thomas.- And I'm Abbie.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33BOTH: And we're the Shining Stars.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34We've been best friends since we were four,
0:01:34 > 0:01:36and we're always laughing with each other.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38When we're together, we go crazy.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42We're very cheeky and sneaky.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45And we love using our sneaky skills to prank people.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49We want to give the public a shock with a painting that comes to life.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53When the man jumps out the painting, I want the public to go, "Whoa!"
0:01:55 > 0:01:57If we get through to our Mega Prank,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00we want to prank my vicar called Matthew.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03He always pranks people. It's just payback.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- BOTH: Hey, we're top notch. - Watch out.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07You don't know when we're going to hit.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09I'm guessing you're going to hit soon.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11That's our two teams.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Now all we need is some Hollywood magic to make these pranks epic.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Bring on the Effectors.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20I'm Shaune Harrison, prosthetics supervisor.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24I've worked on many high-profile movies and TV projects.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28I use silicone prosthetics, make-up, hair pieces, paints,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31all to make creatures look either incredibly scary or
0:02:31 > 0:02:33incredibly handsome.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35So, come on, Pranksters,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37I'll make you believe that make-believe is believable.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Is that right?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41I'm not going to pretend I know what that means, Shaune.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Anyway, who else wants to play?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46I'm Simon Taylor, special effects supervisor.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Stuff like that.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50We've worked with bands like
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Coldplay, U2, Take That, One Direction,
0:02:52 > 0:02:55and we were heavily involved in the Olympics 2012 opening ceremony.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57If a script requires something that's larger than life,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00it's my job to bring it to life, from mechanical rigs to
0:03:00 > 0:03:04model-making, pyrotechnics, and even computer aided design,
0:03:04 > 0:03:05I've got it covered.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08So, come on, Pranksters, I'm your man!
0:03:08 > 0:03:11All right, Simon. Well, I'm your woman. Let's get to work.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15And the location for today's prank is an art gallery.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17So, Pranking Pandemonium, Shining Stars...
0:03:17 > 0:03:19They don't know anything about your ideas,
0:03:19 > 0:03:21and you don't know anything about their ideas,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24so do you want to just explain what you've come up with?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Here we have our statue with feathers on it.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Over here, there's some chairs which are really neatly stacked up.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36A member of the public would walk past the statue and it would sneeze.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40And then all the chairs will come crashing down to the floor.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44We will make the public's face be like, "Oh, no! What's happened?"
0:03:44 > 0:03:48The other team's idea is really good. We think we can top it.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Let's have a look at your idea.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Our first picture is the public looking at the photo.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57There starts to be a crack in the photo and in the wall and the
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- man is climbing out of the photo. - Ah, cool.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04All the public are going, like, "What has just happened?"
0:04:04 > 0:04:08I thought of the other team's idea was very unoriginal.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11They're really up for a challenge, but I think we can beat them.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13So I think, Pranking Pandemonium, we should get going.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- BOTH: Yeah. - OK, cool.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18So we've got a collapsing piece of art versus
0:04:18 > 0:04:20a picture that bursts to life.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23But only one team can go through to stage the Mega Prank, and
0:04:23 > 0:04:28only the Ranksters will decide who faces the Ejector Button of Doom!
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Pranking Pandemonium, it's time to get pranking.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36I'm feeling excited because the day's actually finally here.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39The work of art that collapses is made to look like it's sort of
0:04:39 > 0:04:43in balance, as though, at any moment, it could tip.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- Here's your idea of a mad stack of chairs.- Yeah.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48And here's what we've come up with.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50BOTH: That looks amazing.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52It's very finely balanced.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55A loud sneeze might set it off, but it might not, so what we've done
0:04:55 > 0:04:59is we've fitted a mechanical release to drop weights when it's triggered.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01It fires like that.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03When the release is fired, the weight drops.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Two of the chairs kick outwards,
0:05:05 > 0:05:07and that will throw the whole of the structure down.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11To trigger it, we've got this device here. This is called a firing box.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15I push the switch and then it goes everywhere.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- Oh, this is going to be amazing. - Go on. Three, two, one...
0:05:20 > 0:05:22BOTH: Whoa!
0:05:22 > 0:05:24That is sick!
0:05:24 > 0:05:26It felt really amazing.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29It was like they're just doing it for us.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32So, Louis and Albie, this is our sneezing statue.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- Obviously, we've got our heads here. - How does the head sneeze?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38That's a very good question. Cue Garth.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Hi, guys.- Hiya. Is it a bit of a tight squeeze in there?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Yeah. But do you know what? It's totally worth it for this prank.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46It's going to be amazing.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Shaune made a prosthetic mask for our actor, Garth, to wear.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Have a feel. - It feels like goo.- Goo, yeah.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54It's actually made of a silicone,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56and these are made of a hard plastic.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Nothing like your average costume mask.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02It was like proper, full-on what you get in movies.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Make sure Garth's face is all in there.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08The thing about a statue is it shouldn't move, so Garth,
0:06:08 > 0:06:09when he wears this,
0:06:09 > 0:06:12has to be completely still, so the idea's that no-one's going to know
0:06:12 > 0:06:15one of them's actually got a person inside them.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18And then what we'll do, we just add some Velcro at the back.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21I'm worried that maybe the sneeze won't be loud enough for it
0:06:21 > 0:06:24to be convincing that something would fall down.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Garth, do your loudest sneeze.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Achoo.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29That needs to be louder.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Achoo.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Louder.- It's got to be like, "ACHOO!" Bang.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Like that.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Achoo.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- That's a good one.- Better.- You think that's going to work?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Good, good. Great.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45So Louis, Albie, I'm Marvin. I'm your security guard for the day.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46So how's this prank going to work?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Let me tell you.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50I felt powerful and in control.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Not in a bad way, obviously.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- I'm guessing you can't get too close.- Nah.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- But you can get very close with this one.- I see.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02You want to encourage the public to get
0:07:02 > 0:07:04a feather and stick it on the statue.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06That'll cause a third statue to sneeze,
0:07:06 > 0:07:11and then the massive £3 million structure to crash down.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- Oh, that's going to be brilliant. - We've done everything we can do.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15We've checked everything works.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18And now we want to just get our public prank on the road.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Well, let's get started then. It's time for public prank number one.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24The hidden cameras are rolling and the pranksters are in the
0:07:24 > 0:07:26control room ready to direct the action.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28It is going to be shockingly good.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Achoo! Excuse me.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Surely there's nowhere as calm as an art gallery.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Well, that's unless pranksters are involved.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Hiya. Welcome to the modern art exhibition.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- We've got some lovely pieces here. - Oh, I'm buzzing.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- I can't wait for it to happen. - This one's great.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49It's called Art in Balance. It's worth £3 million.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Every piece is carefully balanced.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Every piece is carefully balanced.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56While this piece is quite hands off, this piece here is quite hands on.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59And we're asking all the people who have come to the gallery to
0:07:59 > 0:08:02pick up a feather and place a feather on one of the busts.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- Take an emergency call.- I've just received a call but please carry on.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08They're picking up the feather. Get ready.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10BOTH: Sneeze!
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- Achoo!- Argh!
0:08:13 > 0:08:16LAUGHTER
0:08:16 > 0:08:20That was so good! That was brilliant.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25It was really fun because we were like the directors of the show.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26BOTH: Garth, sneeze!
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Achoo!
0:08:30 > 0:08:32LAUGHTER
0:08:32 > 0:08:37- The public's reactions were like, "Oh!"- What happened?
0:08:37 > 0:08:41And then they laughed. Like ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I can't do a fake laugh.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Please take your time and enjoy the artwork.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47This is it! This is it! This is it!
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Achoo!
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Oh, look at her face!
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- The idea is to... - Take the emergency call.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- I've got an emergency call coming here, but...- What do you do?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01You're meant to put it on the bust.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Hello?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05BOTH: Three, two, one. Garth, sneeze!
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Achoo!
0:09:11 > 0:09:15BOTH: You've all just been pranked by Rank the Prank.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Everything fell down. We thought we were to blame.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20He sneezed all of a sudden.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22We thought we were looking at a piece of art,
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- and then suddenly everything... - Everything just collapsed.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28This public prank was amazing.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29Choo!
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Fingers crossed we make it through.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Well, we'll have to wait and see because now it's time for the
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Shining Stars to get to work with the Effectors.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I'm looking forward to seeing what they've got in store for us.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I'm working with Thomas and Abbie,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44and they're doing a surreal painting that comes to life.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Bursting out of that painting comes our character who's wearing
0:09:47 > 0:09:50a prosthetic to completely mimic the picture.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52And this is what we made.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Whoa, that is amazing.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56The mask just is the painting.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Like, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Garth will be looking out of this little hole in the eye here.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05And obviously, the mouth can move, so this'll all be glued round.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- How long do these roughly take to make?- I'd say about three weeks.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Is there any chance we could do a little bit of painting?
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Absolutely, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14We got to do a little bit of painting and the detail of
0:10:14 > 0:10:17the mask is so small and just...
0:10:17 > 0:10:19It's just amazing.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Once all that's painted and finished, we seal the whole
0:10:22 > 0:10:24paint down and then we're ready to go on set with him.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Yeah, that'll be really cool.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27And then he has these hands as well.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30We're making the breakthrough wall,
0:10:30 > 0:10:34so it's a painting that tears apart and a wall that splits open.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Here's the box that our abstract man's going to burst out of.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38How does he burst through it?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- You have to get inside for that.- OK.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44There's also a camera in the box that the actor's going to be in,
0:10:44 > 0:10:47so that we can cue him to jump out of the box.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- What do you do to fill in this bit? - That's where the picture goes.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Do you want to get in there?
0:10:52 > 0:10:53OK.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56It was really hot in the box, but, once you got to burst out,
0:10:56 > 0:10:57it was a really cool feeling.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- How are you, Abbie?- Fine in here.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02OK, Tom, I think we're about ready to have a go.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Three, two, one.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05Go!
0:11:08 > 0:11:11The chance to burst through the box was absolutely amazing.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Tah-da!
0:11:14 > 0:11:16The best part about our prank is that
0:11:16 > 0:11:18we're able to work with the actors.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19So what do you want me to do?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22We want you to burst through the painting and run around shouting,
0:11:22 > 0:11:23"I'm free, I'm free",
0:11:23 > 0:11:26like you've been stuck in the wall for ages and ages.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28OK, so it's like, "I'm free, I'm free!"?
0:11:28 > 0:11:29- All confused.- Yeah.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33It was just amazing to see everything come together.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Well, you ain't seen nothing yet.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37It's time for public prank number two.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41The hidden cameras are set and the pranksters are in the control room.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43I think this prank is going to go really, really well.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51The art exhibition is underway, but little do the public know
0:11:51 > 0:11:53there's a surprise in store if they look a little deeper.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Welcome to the art exhibition.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57We've got loads of butterflies in our stomach
0:11:57 > 0:11:59cos we want it to go really well.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02The piece de resistance at the end, they say if you stare into
0:12:02 > 0:12:05its eyes for long enough, you can hear what it's saying.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Huh? OK.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08Enjoy, enjoy.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Stand by, Garth.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Go, Garth.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20ABBIE LAUGHS
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- MUFFLED:- I'm free! I'm free!
0:12:22 > 0:12:25They got so freaked out!
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Our job in the prank was to direct the actor.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31It felt amazing to have so much control.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32You have to really make them stare, OK?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35You want to stare really hard though.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- "Lean forward and stare."- If you lean forward, maybe close enough...
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Go, Garth.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42WOMAN SCREAMS
0:12:42 > 0:12:43GARTH BELLOWS
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- He's done really well. - Where you going?!
0:12:47 > 0:12:49The man was really getting into it.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51You're meant to stare into the eyes of the painting,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54and apparently you hear its thoughts.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58'And then Garth just jumped out, and he screamed.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02MAN SCREAMS
0:13:03 > 0:13:06EXHIBITION GUESTS LAUGH
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Two older girls were really, really staring.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11If you stare for about five minutes,
0:13:11 > 0:13:13eventually you can hear its thoughts.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Did he say five minutes?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Garth, go!
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Argh!
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- MUFFLED:- I'm free!
0:13:27 > 0:13:30That is a brilliant reaction!
0:13:33 > 0:13:35I nearly freaked out!
0:13:35 > 0:13:36It was terrifying.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Gah, I should have seen through that.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43That was really fun, and their reactions were just amazing.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- I really just want to go back and do it again.- Oh, really?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Well, that's for the Ranksters to decide,
0:13:49 > 0:13:52because the public pranks are over, BUT...which prankster pair
0:13:52 > 0:13:56will go on to play the Mega Prank on a target of their choice?
0:13:56 > 0:14:01Let's meet today's prank-loving panel. Ranksters, show yourselves.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07My favourite was the sneezing statue. It was more realistic.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10People jumped out their skin and was really scared.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13It was really unexpected for the public.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15My favourite was the picture breakout,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18cos it got stronger reactions and it made me laugh more.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20I loved the reaction when the lady...
0:14:20 > 0:14:23She screamed and ran for the fire exit.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27We've all picked our favourites and we've got a winner.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31The hour of judgment is upon them.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I just hope all our hard work has paid off.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Which team will make it through...
0:14:36 > 0:14:40We've both got very good ideas - it's just up to the Ranksters.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44..and who will be sent home packing, Hollywood-style?
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Green or Blue? Jury of Ranksters, it's down to you.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50The votes have been counted.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53The team going home today is...
0:15:01 > 0:15:03..Pranking Pandemonium.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Yes!
0:15:06 > 0:15:07Yeah, we've done it!
0:15:07 > 0:15:09It may be the end of our time on Rank the Prank,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12but Pranking Pandemonium is still out there to get you.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13GIRL SCREAMS
0:15:13 > 0:15:17When they said we'd got through to our Mega Prank, I was SO happy.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Well, you should be very happy, because now the Special Effectors
0:15:21 > 0:15:24are going to create an epic Mega Prank just for you.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Let's get a recap on that unlucky target.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29We want to prank Matthew, our local vicar.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33He's always pranking other people and we want to get revenge.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35He's just got a funny sense of humour.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Matthew, I think, will react quite shocked,
0:15:38 > 0:15:42and then he'll be like, "Yeah, this is really funny."
0:15:42 > 0:15:45That would be kind of my dream come true, cos he's just so cheeky.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Look out, Matthew, the Shining Stars
0:15:49 > 0:15:50are about to get you.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53And at the local golf club. Sneaky.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55So, Shaune and Simon,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58we're really excited to see what you've got in store for Matthew.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01We've organised a special cake decorating contest
0:16:01 > 0:16:02with Matthew as the judge.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- But the thing is, it's totally made up.- That is so cool.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07And this is where the fun begins.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Matthew is going to meet our event organiser, played by Anne.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12They've got to judge some shockingly awful cakes.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16And they're also going to meet the infamous Claude Von Backingstille.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17BOTH: Who?!
0:16:17 > 0:16:18He's this totally made-up character
0:16:18 > 0:16:20and very flamboyant, and what we're doing,
0:16:20 > 0:16:25we're making this crazy cake hat and very glam make-up on his face.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26But that's not the end of it,
0:16:26 > 0:16:29because we've got this machine here for decorating cakes.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Matthew's going to be asked to have a go with it, and,
0:16:32 > 0:16:34after he's started, it's going to go completely wild
0:16:34 > 0:16:36and throw icing everywhere.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39And then, finally, we're going to a publicity photoshoot
0:16:39 > 0:16:41and Matthew's going to cut the cake.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Simon's rigged the cake to explode,
0:16:43 > 0:16:44so, when Matthew goes to cut it...
0:16:44 > 0:16:46massive explosion of cake.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- That's going to be fantastic. - It's going to be so cool, isn't it?
0:16:49 > 0:16:53It was amazing hearing the idea of the prank for the first time
0:16:53 > 0:16:54by the Special Effectors.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58It's just so detailed, and it's unbelievable.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01So we've created a character, Claude Von Bakingstille,
0:17:01 > 0:17:04who's a very eccentric, flamboyant Belgian chef.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09When Matthew arrives, he's going to be asked to cut this cake
0:17:09 > 0:17:11that is a piece of Claude's work,
0:17:11 > 0:17:15and, as soon as he touches it with the knife, it's going to explode.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20We've fitted an air cannon into it. When we fire it, it will shatter.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25We've loaded the cannon up with all sorts of gooey, sticky stuff.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28And also, Claude's completely in white, so with the cake being
0:17:28 > 0:17:30so multicoloured, it's going to go everywhere.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32We have actually tested this at our workshop.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35My hairs are standing on end and I'm just really excited.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41This is going to be the best Mega Prank ever.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Calling all prank fans, it's the moment you've been waiting for.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50So here we go with our Cake Off prank.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52The icing machine is ready to go crazy,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55our fake celebrity chef is getting his finishing touches done
0:17:55 > 0:17:58and his exploding cake is primed to burst into life.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Here comes our target Matthew.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02He think he's here to be a judge
0:18:02 > 0:18:04for the day, but little does he know...
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Oh, nice to meet you Matthew, I'm Anne.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08I think Matthew's going to be so shocked,
0:18:08 > 0:18:11but I think he's going to have a great time as well.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14We're going to have a celebrity guest.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16He's like... How can I put it?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Mm, good question.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20He's like the Lady Gaga of the baking world.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21- Right!- For example,
0:18:21 > 0:18:24he does, like, a handshake which is like,
0:18:24 > 0:18:26if you go...
0:18:26 > 0:18:28BOTH: Slice, slice, egg smash, flour.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- ..and that's what all the kids are doing.- You are joking?- No, no!
0:18:31 > 0:18:33SHE LAUGHS
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Before Matthew has a chance to realise how ridiculous
0:18:36 > 0:18:38this all is, let's get on with the cake judging.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40So, cake decorator number one.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Because Matthew was a judge he was trying to be polite
0:18:43 > 0:18:44to all of the contestants...
0:18:44 > 0:18:45I like the colours.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48I'd like to know what it tastes like, but that's not part of it.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50LAUGHTER
0:18:50 > 0:18:51- Wow.- Did you really make that up?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Matthew is very impressed with the good cakes,
0:18:54 > 0:18:56but will our bad ones give the game away?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59The trifle tower just looked disgusting.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Did you work out what theme she'd gone with, Matthew?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Erm, spaceship?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08He got a bit suspicious of the cake where it was all taped up.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- Did you drop it? - I've... It's... Aww!
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- LAUGHING:- Look at his face!
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Luckily, Matthew seems more concerned with his judging role.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19I can't resist a chocolate finger!
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Sorry!
0:19:23 > 0:19:26But they look so nice, don't they?
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Sorry, Matthew, am I in trouble?
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Now Matthew's judged all the weird and wonderful cakes,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34it's time for something else weird and wonderful.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39OK, maybe just weird. Celebrity chef Claude Von Bakingstille.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Hello, Claude, hello.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Matthew had no idea what to make of Claude Von Bakingstille.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- Especially cos he doesn't even speak.- This is Matthew.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50You can do the handshake with him if you want.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51He's like, "What?"
0:19:51 > 0:19:54It's not really usual to have a cake on top of your head
0:19:54 > 0:19:56and cake on your shoulders and your arms.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58But if Matthew thought Claude was unusual,
0:19:58 > 0:20:01what will he make of his icing machine?
0:20:01 > 0:20:05So this is the Fondant 2000. So I just press this, OK?
0:20:08 > 0:20:10OK.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12So... Whoo! Oh, no!
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Oh, no, this is terrible!
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- LAUGHING:- Oh, no, that's really bad.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Well, it's about to get a whole lot worse for Matthew.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- Would you like to have a go, Matthew?- I'd love to.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24Oh, this is going to be so funny.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26So after a few instructions from Claude...
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Peow, peow, peow-peow-peow!
0:20:28 > 0:20:30..Matthew is ready to try the icing machine.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Just pull the trigger?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35'Yeah, just give it a little squeeze. What could go wrong?'
0:20:35 > 0:20:37The turntable just went really fast.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Oh, no, you've made it go faster. No, no, no. Matthew, just... No!
0:20:42 > 0:20:44TOM AND ABBIE LAUGH
0:20:44 > 0:20:47No, press the button. OK, no.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Turn it off, turn it off, turn it off.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- ABBIE:- He was like, "What is happening?"
0:20:52 > 0:20:53I'm really sorry.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Matthew thinks he's ruined Claude's expensive icing machine.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58But has he?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00CLAUDE GASPS DRAMATICALLY
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Claude likes it. Is that nice? Original?
0:21:03 > 0:21:06He's so weird.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Aww, well done, Matthew.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Matthew is completely baffled that Claude likes his icing disaster.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15In fact, Claude likes it so much he wants Matthew to be
0:21:15 > 0:21:18the first person to cut a slice of his newest creation
0:21:18 > 0:21:21that promises to be bursting with flavour.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22This is the scary part.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25£3,500 this cake cost. Yeah.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28The cake is literally about to break.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Oh, I'm so scared.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Are you ready, everyone?
0:21:31 > 0:21:32Ohhhh!
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Three, two, one...
0:21:35 > 0:21:38CLAUDE SCREAMS
0:21:40 > 0:21:41CLAUDE WAILS
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- Matthew, grab some tissue. - ABBIE:- Let's go.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Can we get Claude's people in, please?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Matthew, what have you done?
0:21:47 > 0:21:50You've been pranked by Rank the Prank.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52LAUGHTER
0:21:52 > 0:21:55'I feel slightly overwhelmed, and I do feel well and truly pranked.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Matthew's reaction was amazing.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Abbie and Tom, you'd better watch out.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Thomas and Abbie, you've been absolute stars.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05I had no awareness - it looked like a real cake.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07It's always fun blowing cakes up.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- SHAUNE LAUGHS - I can't resist a chocolate finger.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12'When I took a bit of the chocolate finger, he looked at me
0:22:12 > 0:22:14'and told me off!
0:22:14 > 0:22:16I just want to do it all over again.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17Do more pranks, that's what I'd say.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I've just been pranked on Rank the Prank.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21ALL: Wahey!
