0:00:34 > 0:00:40Hello. I'm Richard, this is my top secret underground Blast Lab.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Nice to see you.
0:00:45 > 0:00:52Oh, yeah - this. Don't worry about it, it's just that late last night something unnatural
0:00:52 > 0:00:57lugged itself out of my nuclear tank over there and it ran off sort of in that direction.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00I say ran - it was really more of a slithery limp.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Don't ask me what it was, but it was huge.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07As long as it doesn't come back, here's what we'll be doing today.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Now one of the reasons I've managed to keep this place so secret
0:01:24 > 0:01:28is that I have a crack team of SAS officers protecting it around the clock.
0:01:28 > 0:01:34However they all stayed up late watching the Princess Diaries last night and slept in.
0:01:34 > 0:01:40Luckily, my nanny's here and she learned ninjitsu from Jackie Chan's nan. It's my Ninja Nan.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Ninja Nan, thanks for standing in.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Yes, she may look fragile, but she's actually a fully trained ninja.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Nan, if you'd like to take your place in security. Oh!
0:02:06 > 0:02:09If you'd like to take your place in security, please, Nan!
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Playing up again.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13OK, away you go. Speeds away.
0:02:13 > 0:02:19I once saw my Ninja Nan beat Lewis Hamilton's fastest lap time at Silverstone without using a car.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Ninja Nan, are you settled in yet? Are you in your chair? Oh, there she is, look, she's...
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Oh, she's... What's she getting this time?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Sandwiches, knitting... Oh, she's got her thermos out.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32It'll be tea in there. She likes it strong.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36When I say strong, I mean ninja strong, that stuff you can eat through steel.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Let's have a look at who's trying to get through security today.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43There should be a bunch who consider themselves the Yellow Team. Hello!
0:02:46 > 0:02:48But hold on, hold on.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52You see, they say...they say they're the Yellow Team. We don't know.
0:02:52 > 0:02:58We can't let anybody into this lab, so security check time. Identify yourselves, please. Names?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- I'm Ross.- I'm Matt.
0:03:00 > 0:03:06- And I'm George.- Ross, Matt, George - that checks out. Hidden talent here, it says it's you, George.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- I'm going to guess here, can you play the guitar by any chance? - Yeah, I think so.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13It says here you can. You've got one with you. Prove it.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- HE STRUMS A TUNE - Go on.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23That's playing the guitar, I'd say. Right, you're cleared through security. Come to the lab.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34You are the Yellow Team and welcome to the lab. Where are you all from?
0:03:34 > 0:03:39We're from sunny Southend and we're the Brain Wavers. Ching!
0:03:39 > 0:03:42No, you're not, you're the Yellow Team. Welcome though.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46In security there's going to be another bunch of people who claim to be the Red Team.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Let's have a look at you. Come out, please.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Oh, it's all right hopping up and down and looking all pleased now.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I still don't necessarily believe you're the Red Team.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01- You've got to prove it. So first of all, to check them, names, please. You are?- I'm Katie.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- Lizzie.- Katie.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Katie, Lizzie and Katie - that's what it says here, that's good.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11The hidden talent here it says is Katie S,
0:04:11 > 0:04:16so that's Katie, you there, and it says something about your fingers and your joints?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- Yes, I have double jointed fingers. - Prove it.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Oh, look, that's a finger bending the wrong way there, yeah.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27That checks out, you are the Red Team. You're through security. Come through.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Hi, Red Team. Welcome to the lab.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Sorry about the security, we can't be too careful. Where are you from?
0:04:37 > 0:04:41The Rossendale Valley and we're the Snazzy Scientists.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- The what?- The Snazzy Scientists. - No, you're not, you're the Red Team.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Great to have you both here though, red and Yellow Teams,
0:04:48 > 0:04:52and it's time for Round One, so make your way to your positions.
0:04:52 > 0:04:57Your first positions. OK, most people look for a car that will get them from A to B.
0:04:57 > 0:05:03I however look for a car that can debate the fine points of scientific theories. It is, of course, Oliver.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Oliver loves collecting facts for his hi-tech fact nav system.
0:05:25 > 0:05:31Sadly though his facts aren't always correct and it's up to my two teams to tell which ones are and aren't,
0:05:31 > 0:05:33so this is how it's going to work.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36I'm going to read both teams a science fact.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39They have to tell me whether it's true or false.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42If it's true, Oliver will do this.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44ALARM SOUNDS, HORN HONKS
0:05:44 > 0:05:48And if it's false, Oliver will let us know by doing this.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50FOGHORN BLOWS
0:05:50 > 0:05:52OK, so is that clear enough, teams?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Yellow and red, well, here we go.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Your first chance to earn some points. Red team, you go first.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01I want you did tell me whether this is true or false.
0:06:01 > 0:06:09There's enough fuel in the tank of a jumbo jet to drive a car around the world 76 times.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14Is there enough fuel in the tank of a jumbo jet to drive a car around the world 76 times? Work it out.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Audience, what do we think, is that true or false?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20AUDIENCE SHOUT COMPETING ANSWERS
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Everybody down here thinking it's false.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26There's quite a lot of trues round there.
0:06:26 > 0:06:32I reckon that's more or less 50-50, pretty much half-and-half, which means, Reds,
0:06:32 > 0:06:34the audience is absolutely no help to you whatsoever.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Sorry, you're on your own, guys.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39What do you think, is it true or is it false?
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- False.- Well, let's ask Oliver because he knows everything.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Oliver, is it true or is it false? - ALARM SOUNDS, HORN HONKS
0:06:45 > 0:06:51It's true, so I'm sorry, guys, I'm sorry, in actual fact it can hold - are you ready for this? -
0:06:51 > 0:06:59228,990 litres of fuel, which as you'll all three doubtless both know immediately
0:06:59 > 0:07:04is 4,163 times more than the average family car, but you'd worked that out already of course.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Right, Yellow Team, here comes your science fact.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- Tell me if this is true or false. Ready to do some thinking?- Yeah.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17A coin is slightly more likely to land on heads when tossed.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22Have a chat, have a talk. If you've got any theories, now is the time to share, talk it over.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25If you've heard anything, chuck it in the mix, talk it over.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30Audience, while they're doing their thinking, what do we think? Is that true or is it false?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33AUDIENCE SHOUT COMPETING ANSWERS
0:07:35 > 0:07:40Looking at that, I think there's slightly more thinking it's false this time, but it's still a split.
0:07:40 > 0:07:46Don't always go with what the audience think, we have had them be completely wrong in the past.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51- So what's your conclusion? What have you thought about it? - Well, we think it's false.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54All right, let's find out. Oliver knows everything.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Oliver, is it true or is it false? - ALARM SOUNDS, HORN HONKS
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Oh, no, it's true!
0:07:59 > 0:08:04I can tell you, this is because when a coin is tossed and then spins on the floor,
0:08:04 > 0:08:09studies have shown that it's more likely to land heads down when it finally stops. So no point there.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Right, I've got one last question.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16This one's a bit different to the last ones because I'm going to ask you a question, not a fact,
0:08:16 > 0:08:18so I don't want you to tell me whether it's true or false,
0:08:18 > 0:08:23I want you to write down the answer on the board in front of you. It's not the easiest question.
0:08:23 > 0:08:29So I'll be very nice and I'll give the point to whichever team gets closest to the real answer.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32So write your answer down. Here comes the question.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35How many miles away is the Moon from the Earth?
0:08:35 > 0:08:39You might have heard something in the past. You might have a theory.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44The important thing is to be as close as possible to the answer I have written down here.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48I know it's a tricky one. Let's have a look at what you've got. Reds?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Five... That says 5 million miles.
0:08:51 > 0:08:535 million miles.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55200,000 miles. Big difference.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Big difference there.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01The real answer is 234,000 miles,
0:09:01 > 0:09:04so, Yellows, you're very close indeed.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05CHEERING
0:09:05 > 0:09:10Reds, the brutal truth is you're miles out, but you've got a lot of numbers in it, that's a good start.
0:09:10 > 0:09:17The figure will change in time because the Moon is moving away from the Earth by 3.8 centimetres a year.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22Probably we should all wave it goodbye. So that means 1-nil to the Yellow Team. Well done.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43That's all to come, but now it's time for Mini Science.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47This is the round where our teams perform spectacular experiments
0:09:47 > 0:09:49using unspectacular household objects.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Now, I don't want to boast, but I've invented a time machine.
0:09:53 > 0:09:59The problem is, well, to cut a long story short, it didn't quite work.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01I've brought my old science teacher back.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04She just looks like a 10 year-old.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07She's big on science, but small compared to other teachers.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09It's Mini Mix.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- Hello, Miss.- Hello. - Are you well?- Yes, thank you. - Good. So what are we doing today?
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Today's experiment is about friction. Do you remember what that is?
0:10:19 > 0:10:24- Yes, friction slows things down. - Correct, Richard. Well-remembered.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29Today's teams are going to be making CD balloon hovercrafts.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- Hovercrafts?- Yes. And I'm going to show you how to make it.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- OK.- Blow this balloon up, please.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38I have attached an old CD to a bottle top using blue tack.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- Do all the teams have to blow up balloons?- No, they have machines.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- Why haven't I got one? - Because you'll break it.
0:10:46 > 0:10:52Good point. Right. I've blown up my balloon, so that's a CD with a bottle top stuck on. OK.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57- Right, hang on. We're going to put this on there?- Yes.- All right.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00I've let all the air out, Miss, sorry.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07I've got a question. I'm going to guess something.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09I know this is a bad idea, but I'm going to guess.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14- I'm guessing this is about sliding a CD down there with the balloon as a hovercraft.- Yes.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Why don't we just slide the CDs down it?- It won't go without the balloon's air.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Give me a CD.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26You're right, it doesn't go anywhere. OK, so what do we do?
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Well, now that you've assembled it, pull up the bottle top,
0:11:30 > 0:11:34give it a gentle push and it'll glide until all the balloon's air has gone.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Wow! So that really is hovering like a hovercraft.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- Yes.- Well, that's brilliant. It seems simple enough to me, teams.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42You've got some time to do this, to build your hovercraft
0:11:42 > 0:11:48and get as many as you can across that line, and that time starts...
0:11:48 > 0:11:50now.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52CHEERING
0:11:58 > 0:12:00It's fiddly work out there.
0:12:00 > 0:12:07Both teams have their balloons inflated, but who'll be able to construct the hovercraft first?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12The Yellows look to have the edge on the red rivals
0:12:12 > 0:12:14and there goes the first hovercraft,
0:12:14 > 0:12:18gliding down the ramp and over the finish line
0:12:18 > 0:12:21while the red balloon seems to have a mind of its own.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29I reckon a large part of the answer to this one lies in teamwork.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33It works best when you've got one person doing one job, one doing another,
0:12:33 > 0:12:38so you build up a production line for your hovercrafts, and then one person to let it go down the ramp.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43The Reds are doing better at that than the Yellows so far.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Their hovercrafts are rubbish!
0:12:49 > 0:12:51A second score for the Yellows.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54And the Reds? Well, the less said, the better.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Oh, I spoke too soon.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03There's a launch for the Reds. An erratic start followed quite quickly by a sudden stop.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Brilliant(!)
0:13:11 > 0:13:15And a third for the Yellows, who are stretching their lead now,
0:13:15 > 0:13:19but hang on, it hasn't crossed the line. That won't count.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Do my eyes deceive me?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28The first red hovercraft has passed the finish line.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34The floor is just one big hovercraft traffic jam
0:13:34 > 0:13:38and it's stopping the Yellows from crossing the line.
0:13:38 > 0:13:44Those inflated balloons want nothing more than to return to their relaxed unstretched size.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47In doing so, they push air out and down,
0:13:47 > 0:13:51forcing themselves and the CDs they're attached to off the table.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Because they're then floating on a cushion of air,
0:13:53 > 0:13:56there's less friction between them and the ramp,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59and they glide with ease, just like a real hovercraft.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16- BUZZER - Time is up, time is up, time is up.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21- Right, we must now find out how you've all done. Was that harder than you thought it would be?- Yeah.
0:14:21 > 0:14:27Yeah, it looked pretty tough. OK, Lab Rats, there's counting involved here, so I'll give you time.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Lab Rat, how many for the Red Team? Indicate with your little paw.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Four. OK. Lab Rat, how many for the yellow?
0:14:34 > 0:14:39Three. 4-3, that means the red team are the winners! Well done!
0:14:41 > 0:14:45There's a point to the Red Team and that's got me thinking -
0:14:45 > 0:14:52if a titchy little balloon can lift a CD, I wonder how easy it would be to lift a real person.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Today, at my secret heavily-guarded top-secret test facility,
0:14:59 > 0:15:04where all my most secret of secret experiments take place, we're going to attempt something really secret.
0:15:05 > 0:15:11For today, man aims to move by wind alone.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Today, we make a craft that can hover.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17A hovercraft.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22To build a craft that hovers, we're going to use...
0:15:22 > 0:15:25some wood,
0:15:25 > 0:15:27skirt material,
0:15:27 > 0:15:32a load of petrol-powered leaf blowers
0:15:32 > 0:15:34and...and...
0:15:34 > 0:15:36and an expert.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Hello. I'm a hovercraft expert.
0:15:43 > 0:15:48Flanked by his Lab Rat entourage, this man looks like he means business.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52But just what is this business that he means?
0:15:52 > 0:15:57When the leaf blower is turned on, it'll blow air in the plastic skirt,
0:15:57 > 0:15:59blowing it up like an inflatable donut.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03The air will then escape through small holes,
0:16:03 > 0:16:07creating a cushion of air which should lift the hovercraft up.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11To make the craft mobile we need to attach more leaf blowers.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15These will blow air backwards making the hovercraft race forwards.
0:16:15 > 0:16:21The world's largest hovercraft can carry an impressive 418 passengers and 60 cars.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25That's a lot of leaf blowers. But today we're aiming a lot higher.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Today, we aim to push back the boundaries of science and idiocy,
0:16:29 > 0:16:34for today we aim to lift one whole Lab Rat on a cushion of air.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39With construction complete we're missing just one vital component.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42A guinea pig. I mean volunteer.
0:16:42 > 0:16:48As he climbs aboard his machine, his mind is completely focused.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51No-one knows what on, but completely focused nonetheless.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Three, two, one, ignition.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Success!
0:17:03 > 0:17:09Even the Lab Rat's ample frame is no match for the power of wind.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12He's actually floating on air.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15But he's not going anywhere in a hurry.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19I think we may have forgotten something.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24Two extra blowers on the back should give us the thrust we need.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27A gleaming example of man's mastery over his environment.
0:17:27 > 0:17:33This is a precision made machine, the like of which has never been seen before.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37Or will ever be seen again, probably.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40For a true test of this dream machine's capabilities,
0:17:40 > 0:17:47my Lab Rats have created one of the most demanding hovercraft courses ever built, ever.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51With the added danger of a number of Ninja Nan's garden ornaments,
0:17:51 > 0:17:56this is a course designed to test the nerves as well as the apparatus.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Lab Rat, start your leaf blowers.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04Three, two, one, go!
0:18:07 > 0:18:10He's off at breakneck speed.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12We have lift-off, we have forward motion.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16He's practically a blur before our eyes.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18History is being made here today.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23A Lab Rat is literally hovering above the ground thanks to lots of leaf blowers
0:18:23 > 0:18:26and just a little bit of science know how.
0:18:26 > 0:18:32The Lab Rat making short work of the course so far - cool, calm and confident through the obstacles.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44Apart from that one. Just don't tell Ninja Nan.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51OK. Just to check something, hang on, real hovercrafts work on land...
0:18:51 > 0:18:56and water, so, teams, there's an extra point for you here.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59For that extra point, will that hovercraft work on water?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Reds, what do you think?
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Audience, what do we reckon? Will it work on water, will it not?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08AUDIENCE SHOUT COMPETING ANSWERS
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Hang on, there's some no's over here. I shall get my microphone.
0:19:12 > 0:19:13Who thinks no? Who thinks it won't?
0:19:13 > 0:19:18- Because the thing might collapse because of all the water. - The skirt might collapse.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22If that goes of course, it's going to go, but most people seem to think it will.
0:19:22 > 0:19:28I don't think it'll work because it hasn't got enough speed to go over the water.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Speed to go over the water. It was moving OK before.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33So various theories from the audience, teams.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38- But this point is at stake. What do we think? Red team, will it work on water or not?- Yes.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- Yellow team, will it work on water? - We don't think it will.- No.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44OK, so we have a yes from the Reds and a no from the Yellows.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47There's only one way to find out if it does work.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51The British countryside. The perfect place to relax.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54The perfect place to gather your thoughts.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59The perfect place to test your home-made hovercraft on water.
0:20:06 > 0:20:13He's off, without a thought for his own personal safety, or the faintest clue where he's going.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18It's actually working - he's floating on air over the water!
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Hang on, this doesn't look good.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24This looks like...
0:20:24 > 0:20:27This looks like failure.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30The Lab Rat has been forced to abandon his sinking ship.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Useless! I have no sympathy.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38Goodbye, Mr hovercraft expert or should I say, Mr!
0:20:40 > 0:20:44There you go. It sank, I'm afraid, so, Red Team, no point for you.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48The point goes to the Yellow Team. It did indeed sink.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52I don't know what that was, but whatever it was, well done.
0:20:52 > 0:20:59It looked like it was going to work, but then it sank, which you can't really class as working. Sorry.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02So, scores now, 2-1 to the Yellows.
0:21:02 > 0:21:07It's time for both teams to go off and get changed - it's the Messy Messy Mess Test next.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10You need protective suits. You go and get changed into those.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14While they're doing that, just out of interest,
0:21:14 > 0:21:18I'd like to watch that bit again where the Lab Rat sinks.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23There he goes, he's so pleased and excited. "My hovercraft works!
0:21:23 > 0:21:26"Oh, this is going to be wonderful," he thinks to himself.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Oh dear, something is going wrong.
0:21:29 > 0:21:35As is so often with the case with Lab Rats, it started well, but then, no!
0:21:35 > 0:21:38AW!
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Don't "aw", he's a Lab Rat, that's what he's there for.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47On the other hand, we're here to have some fun so let's move on to the Messy Messy Mess Test.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Which today is in the nuclear box.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55That's why you needed the protective suits, guys, sorry. Are you comfortable in there?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- No.- Sort of.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02No sudden moves. Funny thing, bit late last night - well, late late late last night -
0:22:02 > 0:22:05I saw something moving in there.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10It was kind of long and it had fins. They might have been legs.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12It definitely had teeth, I saw those for certain.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17I don't know if will eat people yet, just keep your fingers crossed that it doesn't,
0:22:17 > 0:22:19but don't put your fingers in there once you've crossed them.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22They'll get bitten off. OK, this is the game.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27Each of these pods contains fabulous prizes like a multimedia mp3 player,
0:22:27 > 0:22:30a digital metal detector, a solar-powered spider.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35The idea is to move these pods with their prizes from one end of the box to the other.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38You can't use your hands, because they'd melt and fall off.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40That's why you've got these tongs.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44You pass them from one to another. Don't drop it. If you do, go back and get another one.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Eventually, you and you'll be putting them in the baskets here.
0:22:47 > 0:22:53The team to get the most prize pods into the basket wins and gets to take the prizes home.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57The losing team has to blow their's up.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Yellow team, you'll go first because you're ahead on points.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02You've won a five-second advantage.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05When you hear the first nuclear alert, you start.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Red team, when you hear the second nuclear alert, you start.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Everybody understand? We'll be watching. If you drop any of those pods, start again.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15OK, you've some time to do this.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Yellow team, you start first.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20That some time starts now!
0:23:20 > 0:23:24The siren sounds and the Yellows burst into life.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29The first yellow pod is dropped and there goes the second siren.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33But a certain member of the Red Team seems entranced
0:23:33 > 0:23:35by the sight of the Yellow Team at work!
0:23:35 > 0:23:39A bit of geeing up from her team seems to have woken her up.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Yellow now, neck and neck with red,
0:23:42 > 0:23:44dropping their pods in perfect unison.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52A second there for the Yellows.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Closely followed by the Reds.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00The Yellows finding the going tough and the pods a little slippery.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Not as easy as it looks, is it?
0:24:06 > 0:24:08This is very, very close.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13The pod the Yellow Team just dropped could cost them the lot.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17If they don't catch up, it'll all go up in smoke.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Both teams need to hurry.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Some time waits for no man,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28or child dressed in a nuclear suit, for that matter.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34Yellows aren't giving up, and both baskets are filling up nicely.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37It's too close to call at this stage.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41The Reds lead, but the Yellows are still in with a fighting chance.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46A score for the Yellows as the Reds lose another into the tank.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55BUZZER
0:24:55 > 0:25:00Time is up! Now, we're going to find out who won that game.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02The Lab Rats will count them for me.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06If I handle them, I'd get hurt. They don't matter so we don't care.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Yellow team, how many have they got, Lab Rat?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Five.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15OK. Lab Rat, show me with your little paw how many they got on the Red Team.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Six! That means the Red Team are the winners.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Time to find out what you've won.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23For that, I need Ninja Nan.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27Each of you'll be taking home... a Blast Lab goody bag,
0:25:27 > 0:25:29a robo spider,
0:25:29 > 0:25:31a horrible science book,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34a metal detector each,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36a toxic mutant,
0:25:36 > 0:25:39an electromagic kit.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42All of those prizes! I think you just about cleaned us out.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45This is the slightly difficult bit, because, Yellow Team,
0:25:45 > 0:25:50this is where we find out what you would have won, but you're not taking home with you.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54You would have won... a bug barn each,
0:25:54 > 0:25:56an electromagic kit...
0:25:56 > 0:25:57AW!
0:25:57 > 0:26:00..toxic mutants,
0:26:00 > 0:26:03a horrible science book
0:26:03 > 0:26:05and a metal detector.
0:26:05 > 0:26:11Sadly, you're not taking any of those things home because instead you're going to blow them up.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13It's time for Bidet Goes Bang.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24This is it. The moment of doom.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- Yellow team, how are you feeling?- Gutted.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Yeah, sorry, sorry. Who's going to push the plunger?
0:26:31 > 0:26:35- We all are.- All together. Team effort. What went wrong?
0:26:35 > 0:26:38We held it too close to the end so the other person couldn't grab it.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43It's difficult to manoeuvre them and if you pick them up, the things in there will bite your arm off.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Bad luck. Stop gloating over there.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49This is a wheelbarrow full of prizes for the Red Team to take home.
0:26:49 > 0:26:54Well done to you guys. Yellow team, it's time to do it.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Because of global warming, I can't just throw your prizes in the bin.
0:26:57 > 0:27:03The only way to dispose of them without hurting the environment is to explode them using a bidet.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07Come on, step forward. Lift the plunger all of you together.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09I'm going to give you the countdown.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10Are you ready?
0:27:10 > 0:27:155, 4, 3, 2, 1...
0:27:15 > 0:27:16Plunge!
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Well, unfortunately, that's all we've got time for.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26We've seen how you can use the cushioning effect of air to make a hovercraft,
0:27:26 > 0:27:29but if you get it wrong, it's more of a sinking craft.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33- See you next time. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Blast Lab was recorded before a live studio audience.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44No Lab Rat was harmed during the filming.
0:27:44 > 0:27:49There was one incident, but the Lab Rat doesn't want to talk about it.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52He can't for now. Not for a few months anyway.
