CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:320:00:34

Nobody move, nobody move.

0:00:340:00:37

That pterodactyl I cloned does its droppings in here.

0:00:370:00:40

I will catch them, don't worry.

0:00:400:00:42

Do you know what? I haven't got time for this, you take it.

0:00:420:00:44

There you go, you take over, just catch them when they fall.

0:00:440:00:47

AUDIENCE: Ewww!

0:00:470:00:50

It's probably good for his hair.

0:00:530:00:54

Anyway, I'm Richard Hammond, welcome to my Blast Lab!

0:00:540:00:57

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:570:01:00

This is, of course,

0:01:000:01:01

the most secretive science laboratory in the whole world.

0:01:010:01:05

Well, except for you watching and all of these people here, obviously.

0:01:050:01:10

And all of them over there, yeah.

0:01:100:01:13

And my mum and dad over there, yeah.

0:01:130:01:16

That really is my mum and dad.

0:01:160:01:18

Joining me shortly are two groups of young Einsteins

0:01:180:01:21

who will battle it out for some great prizes by doing experiments

0:01:210:01:24

and learning all about science along the way.

0:01:240:01:26

Coming up, Fact Nav 2.0 with Oliver.

0:01:260:01:28

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:01:280:01:30

Awkward!

0:01:300:01:33

He's not here.

0:01:330:01:35

Maybe broken down on the way in,

0:01:350:01:36

fingers crossed he'll make it in time.

0:01:360:01:38

In Mini Science, Mini Miss shows the teams how to make hovercrafts

0:01:380:01:42

with the help of a very special guest.

0:01:420:01:44

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:01:440:01:45

We shall see a giant nut versus a flying squirrel

0:01:450:01:49

in one of the most bizarre races ever recorded.

0:01:490:01:53

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:01:530:01:55

And this week's Messy, Messy, Mess Test

0:01:550:01:58

is the one and only, back by popular demand -

0:01:580:02:01

well, popular with everyone who isn't actually playing it -

0:02:010:02:04

it is the Bridge Of Destiny.

0:02:040:02:06

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:02:060:02:08

Now, most hi-tech, top-secret laboratories

0:02:090:02:11

are protected by extremely modern security systems.

0:02:110:02:14

My security is over 70 years old, and it's the best of the lot.

0:02:140:02:18

It is Ninja Nan!

0:02:180:02:21

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:02:210:02:23

No sudden movements in the lab today,

0:02:280:02:31

because Ninja Nan is surrounded by her crack team of OANs,

0:02:310:02:35

old-age ninjas, and it looks like they're playing cards.

0:02:350:02:38

Nan always wins, probably because of her X-ray vision.

0:02:380:02:41

Let's have a look at who's trying to get into my lab today.

0:02:410:02:44

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:02:440:02:47

OK, so this is all very nice and happy so far,

0:02:500:02:53

but you say you're the Red Team, you could be anybody.

0:02:530:02:56

Identify yourselves by name.

0:02:560:02:58

-Gemma!

-Katie!

-Jessica!

0:02:580:03:00

Gemma, Katie, Jessica... Yes, that's what I've got written down here!

0:03:000:03:03

Under talent, Gemma, I've got your name.

0:03:030:03:05

How are you going to prove you are you?

0:03:050:03:07

-I'm going to do some karate.

-That's what it says here.

0:03:070:03:10

We'll have to hope Ninja Nan doesn't notice.

0:03:100:03:12

Go, go, go!

0:03:120:03:14

OK.

0:03:140:03:15

OK, fair enough, that'll do, come on into the lab, come on into the lab!

0:03:150:03:19

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:03:190:03:20

Hello, Reds, hello. Hello.

0:03:220:03:24

You're through this far,

0:03:240:03:25

but you're not all the way through security yet.

0:03:250:03:28

We have to be careful round here,

0:03:280:03:29

all sorts of people want to get in.

0:03:290:03:32

We've got to make sure you are genuine.

0:03:320:03:34

We agreed a password with the real Red Team.

0:03:340:03:36

You should know what that password is. What do you think it is?

0:03:360:03:39

ALL: Mirror.

0:03:390:03:41

That's what I've got down here, yeah, mirror it is. Why mirror?

0:03:410:03:44

Because when we were in Lanzarote on holiday once,

0:03:440:03:46

there was some public toilets with a full-length mirror at the end.

0:03:460:03:50

I walked straight into it, thinking it was more toilets.

0:03:500:03:52

-You walked into the mirror?

-Yeah.

0:03:520:03:54

-You'll have felt a bit of an idiot.

-Pretty much.

0:03:540:03:56

OK, well, Reds, go and get settled in, ready for the first round.

0:03:560:04:00

Away you go, they are the Red Team.

0:04:000:04:01

CHEERING

0:04:010:04:03

We have a Red Team! Good, so that's one team.

0:04:030:04:06

Now we need another, we need a Yellow Team.

0:04:060:04:08

Let's meet the three people who say it's them.

0:04:080:04:12

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:04:120:04:13

OK, well, you look like the Yellow Team, but we can't be too sure.

0:04:160:04:20

For security purposes, you must identify yourselves by name.

0:04:200:04:23

You are...

0:04:230:04:24

-Sean!

-Kelin!

-Kai!

0:04:240:04:26

Sean, Kelin, Kai, yeah, that's what I've got down here.

0:04:260:04:29

Kelin, I have your name next to talent, what are you going to do?

0:04:290:04:32

I'm going to do a magic trick.

0:04:320:04:34

Go on, we'll be the judge of that.

0:04:340:04:36

-I have one coin in this hand.

-Yes.

-And I have one coin in that hand.

0:04:360:04:40

-So you have.

-And when I turn my hands over like this.

-Yes...

0:04:400:04:43

There are no coins in that hand, and there are two coins in that hand.

0:04:430:04:47

Look at that, that's useful, probably!

0:04:470:04:50

That's magic, come into the lab.

0:04:500:04:52

CHEERING

0:04:520:04:54

Over here, please, you're cleared through that far,

0:04:540:04:57

no further, Ninja Nan's watching.

0:04:570:05:00

She's watching, you're not quite through security yet,

0:05:000:05:03

just one further test.

0:05:030:05:04

If you are the real Yellow Team, you would know the password

0:05:040:05:07

that we agreed with the real Yellow Team. What do you think it is?

0:05:070:05:10

-ALL: Window.

-Window it is, that's what it says. Why?

0:05:100:05:14

Once, when I was on my school bus,

0:05:140:05:16

I accidentally smashed the window trying to swat a fly.

0:05:160:05:19

Whoa, whoa, hang on, you did what?

0:05:190:05:21

I accidentally smashed a window.

0:05:210:05:23

-With your hand?

-With my bag.

0:05:230:05:24

Wow! I'm presuming there was quite a lot of trouble after that?

0:05:240:05:28

-Yeah.

-A lot of shouting?

-Yeah.

0:05:280:05:30

-Learnt your lesson?

-Yeah.

-Best not! OK, fair enough.

0:05:300:05:33

Yellows, go and get settled in,

0:05:330:05:35

ready for the first game. We have our two teams!

0:05:350:05:37

CHEERING

0:05:370:05:40

Now I'd like you to meet a car that's so incredibly clever,

0:05:400:05:43

he's classed as a genius

0:05:430:05:44

and totally exempt from road tax and parking tickets.

0:05:440:05:47

Well, at least that's what I tell the traffic wardens.

0:05:470:05:50

I'm hoping he's made it, it is my good friend Oliver.

0:05:500:05:53

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:05:530:05:56

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:06:080:06:10

-HORN TOOTS

-Ah! Finally!

0:06:110:06:14

Finally, he's here, he's made it. Let's hook him up to the system.

0:06:160:06:19

There we go, all connected in, good grief!

0:06:190:06:23

What happened, alternator again?

0:06:230:06:25

-HONKS

-Oh, fan belt?

0:06:250:06:27

-HONKS

-Flat battery?

0:06:270:06:30

-HONKS

-Well, what was it then?

0:06:300:06:33

-HORN TOOTS

-Oh, you pressed snooze on your alarm! Easy mistake to make.

0:06:330:06:37

Anyway, now that you're here,

0:06:370:06:40

I should explain Oliver has a brand new Fact Nav 2.0 system.

0:06:400:06:44

It was a DIY installation,

0:06:440:06:45

which in my case stands for "damage it yourself",

0:06:450:06:49

because now it doesn't seem to quite work.

0:06:490:06:52

Some of the facts are incorrect, and that means it's up to our teams

0:06:520:06:55

to tell me if the facts I give you are true or false. Simple as that.

0:06:550:06:58

If they are true, Oliver will let us know by doing this.

0:06:580:07:02

SIRENS WAIL

0:07:020:07:04

If they're false, he'll do this.

0:07:040:07:07

HORN HONKS

0:07:070:07:09

Here's how we play. Each team has three red lights,

0:07:090:07:12

every time you answer a question correctly,

0:07:120:07:15

I'll light one of your lights green.

0:07:150:07:18

First to three green lights wins, takes the point and we move on.

0:07:180:07:22

If you answer a question incorrectly,

0:07:220:07:25

we will light one of the other team's lights green.

0:07:250:07:29

It means you could win for the Yellows,

0:07:290:07:31

you could win for the Reds.

0:07:310:07:33

Think before you answer. Everybody understand what to do?

0:07:330:07:37

-Yes.

-Good.

0:07:370:07:38

The question to start us off is a "nearest to" answer.

0:07:380:07:42

I'll give the green light to the team nearest the real answer.

0:07:420:07:45

Here it is.

0:07:450:07:47

In total, how many people have walked on the moon?

0:07:470:07:52

In total, how many people have walked on the moon?

0:07:520:07:55

Time's up.

0:07:590:08:00

-Reds, you go first, what have you got?

-Seven.

0:08:000:08:03

Seven, according to the Reds.

0:08:030:08:05

-11.

-11, according to the Yellows.

0:08:050:08:08

The actual answer is...

0:08:080:08:11

-12, which means the Yellows are very nearly bang on, well done!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:08:110:08:16

Well done, Yellows. Sorry, Reds, you were closer than I expected.

0:08:160:08:20

Right, so that's one light lit green for the Yellows.

0:08:200:08:23

You take control as you get the first true or false question.

0:08:230:08:26

Here it comes.

0:08:260:08:28

Around 70% of the human body is water.

0:08:280:08:33

Around 70% of the human body is water.

0:08:330:08:35

I'm talking about humans, lab rats are slightly different.

0:08:350:08:40

Let's just sample one of these. Could I have that? Thank you.

0:08:400:08:43

Slightly different with lab rats. let me just have a listen.

0:08:430:08:47

RUSHING WATER

0:08:480:08:50

Oh, yeah. About 99% water, I reckon, him. Yeah.

0:08:500:08:55

PLOPPING

0:08:550:08:58

OK, let's have a look at this one.

0:08:580:09:00

DRIPPING

0:09:000:09:02

Not a lot going on in there at all.

0:09:020:09:07

OK, but that's in the case of lab rats, we're talking humans here.

0:09:070:09:11

Around 70% of the human body is water.

0:09:110:09:14

Is that true or false?

0:09:140:09:16

-True.

-You think it's true? Oliver, is it true or false?

0:09:160:09:19

SIREN

0:09:190:09:21

It's true. Well done, Yellows, well done.

0:09:210:09:24

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:09:240:09:25

That's the second green light for the Yellow Team.

0:09:250:09:29

Right, Reds, I don't like to put it this way,

0:09:290:09:32

but you're under pressure now, girls.

0:09:320:09:35

Fingers crossed for you. Here comes your science fact.

0:09:350:09:39

Each year, the Earth moves closer towards the sun.

0:09:390:09:44

Is that true or false? Each year, the Earth moves closer to the sun.

0:09:440:09:49

I need you to tell me if it's true or false.

0:09:490:09:53

-False.

-False.

-You think it's false?

0:09:530:09:56

Oliver, is it true or false?

0:09:560:09:57

HORN

0:09:570:09:59

It's false, well done, Reds.

0:09:590:10:00

That's a green light for you. You're still in it.

0:10:000:10:03

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:10:030:10:05

Don't know about you, I'm exhausted from that.

0:10:060:10:09

Yellows, I'm not going to mess about, here comes your science fact.

0:10:090:10:13

Sharks can see in the dark better than cats.

0:10:130:10:17

Is that true or false?

0:10:170:10:18

Sharks can see in the dark better than cats, is that true or false?

0:10:180:10:22

-We think it's true.

-You think it's true.

0:10:220:10:24

Oliver, put us out of our misery, please.

0:10:240:10:26

-the Yellows think it's true?

-True.

0:10:260:10:29

Is it true or false?

0:10:290:10:30

-SIREN

-It is true. That's the third light lit green for the Yellows.

0:10:300:10:34

Well done!

0:10:340:10:36

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:10:360:10:39

Sharks, in fact, are amazing when it comes to senses.

0:10:390:10:42

They have a highly developed sense of taste and amazing hearing.

0:10:420:10:45

They can also smell 10,000 times better than human beings,

0:10:450:10:48

which could be both good and, if you think about it,

0:10:480:10:51

in some circumstances -

0:10:510:10:52

hanging around with my lab rats, for instance - quite bad.

0:10:520:10:57

All of which means that the Yellows get the third light lit green,

0:10:570:11:02

the Yellows win. The score is 1-0 to the Yellows.

0:11:020:11:05

CHEERING

0:11:050:11:07

CHEERING

0:11:160:11:20

To help with Mini Science, I decided to build a time machine

0:11:200:11:23

to transport my old science teacher through time to the lab to help me.

0:11:230:11:29

And it worked, but with just one tincey, wincey, teeny, weeny

0:11:290:11:33

side effect - she looks 50 years younger.

0:11:330:11:35

She is, of course, Mini Miss.

0:11:350:11:37

CHEERING

0:11:370:11:39

Hi, Miss. You know, I thought you'd be more pleased

0:11:440:11:46

at looking that much younger.

0:11:460:11:48

Pleased? Do you know how difficult it is at parents' evening

0:11:480:11:52

when you look like a ten-year-old?

0:11:520:11:54

Yeah, good point. Sorry, Miss. Sorry, do apologise.

0:11:540:11:57

Oh...

0:11:570:11:59

-Miss...

-Yes, Richard?

0:11:590:12:01

Miss?

0:12:010:12:03

Who is that over there making a lot of noise

0:12:030:12:06

who looks a bit like Ninja Nan?

0:12:060:12:07

That IS Ninja Nan.

0:12:070:12:09

-Sorry?

-That IS Ninja Nan!

0:12:090:12:12

At night she becomes the hip-hop superstar that is Nanye West.

0:12:120:12:16

Right. I thought she spent her evenings playing bingo with you.

0:12:160:12:20

I wouldn't know, Richard,

0:12:200:12:22

they won't let me in now they think I'm a ten-year-old.

0:12:220:12:25

Yeah, good point. I've said I'm sorry.

0:12:250:12:27

All right, enough of the racket! Nan!

0:12:270:12:29

Nan! Thank you.

0:12:290:12:31

OK. Thank you, Nanye.

0:12:310:12:33

Anyway, what will our teams be facing in Mini Science today?

0:12:330:12:36

Our teams will be testing out friction in a game I like to call...

0:12:360:12:41

DEEP VOICE

0:12:410:12:43

Don't know how she does that, I still don't know.

0:12:430:12:45

And they're going to be investigating this using balloons.

0:12:450:12:48

Yes, by attaching them to some of Ninja Nan's records.

0:12:480:12:51

Are you sure she'll be happy with this,

0:12:510:12:53

because they're her records and she is still a ninja, you know?

0:12:530:12:56

Stop being such a scaredy-cat, Richard.

0:12:560:12:58

This is what our teams have to do.

0:12:580:13:01

The teams must attach these balloons to these bottle caps

0:13:010:13:04

which are fixed onto Ninja Nan's records to make record skaters.

0:13:040:13:08

They then have to propel them down the hover lane,

0:13:080:13:11

and the further they get, the more points they win.

0:13:110:13:13

Each team must build three record skaters

0:13:130:13:16

and the team with the highest total score after the three rounds

0:13:160:13:19

-wins the game.

-Right. You have some time

0:13:190:13:21

to actually build your record skaters.

0:13:210:13:23

Mini Miss is going to help you. I'll leave you to it, OK?

0:13:230:13:26

This is all about overcoming friction,

0:13:300:13:32

because, when the record's lying flat, there's a large amount of it

0:13:320:13:35

in contact with the ground. That means a lot of friction

0:13:350:13:38

so the record won't slide. What the bottle cap does -

0:13:380:13:41

you feed it into the little holes - when you lift it,

0:13:410:13:44

the air that's pushed out goes through the cap,

0:13:440:13:46

underneath the record and lifts it.

0:13:460:13:49

That means there's much less friction, so it can travel further.

0:13:490:13:52

It does that because, as the air's being squeezed out of the balloon,

0:13:520:13:55

it's going that way. Then the third law of Sir Isaac Newton...

0:13:550:13:58

# Hallelujah. #

0:13:580:14:00

..our all-time hero, dictates that, if there's a push that way,

0:14:000:14:03

there'll be a push that way, so it lifts the record.

0:14:030:14:06

Of course, in this game, the teams don't want to push too hard

0:14:060:14:09

because, with less friction,

0:14:090:14:11

the records could go down the hover lane

0:14:110:14:13

and slide off the end.

0:14:130:14:15

Then they get no points.

0:14:150:14:16

So there's a bit of skill and judgement here.

0:14:160:14:18

Right. Both teams have assembled

0:14:200:14:22

their three record skaters, ready to go.

0:14:220:14:24

Yellows, the score right now is 1-0.

0:14:240:14:26

You won Fact Nav, you get to choose. First or second?

0:14:260:14:29

-ALL: Second.

-OK. Reds, that means you're first. Are you ready?

0:14:290:14:32

OK, remember to release the bottle cap to release the air

0:14:350:14:39

and set your record hovering and then judge it. It's hovering.

0:14:390:14:42

Good luck. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

0:14:420:14:44

Oh, wow!

0:14:440:14:45

Oh, please stop!

0:14:450:14:47

AUDIENCE: Ohhh!

0:14:470:14:48

Oh, no! Oh, no!

0:14:480:14:50

So close for the Reds, but the friction couldn't stop it at all,

0:14:520:14:56

with the record sliding off the end of the track and onto the floor.

0:14:560:15:00

That's zero points for the Reds.

0:15:000:15:03

Now it's round one for the Yellows.

0:15:030:15:06

Good luck, Sean.

0:15:060:15:07

OK. He's setting his record skater hovering, he's ready.

0:15:080:15:12

Oh, yes, it's hovering.

0:15:120:15:15

Well, a very gentle push indeed. Oh, yeah.

0:15:150:15:17

Talk about the opposite extreme from the Yellows,

0:15:170:15:20

with the friction now stopping the record almost immediately.

0:15:200:15:24

That's zero for the Yellows.

0:15:240:15:25

OK, setting it hovering.

0:15:290:15:31

Oh, it's a good push.

0:15:310:15:32

Will it make it? Will it make it?

0:15:320:15:34

Oh, oh, still going.

0:15:340:15:37

AUDIENCE: Ohhh!

0:15:370:15:40

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

0:15:400:15:41

There you go. Well done, Reds.

0:15:430:15:46

That's three points for the Reds.

0:15:460:15:48

Yellows, you're under pressure.

0:15:500:15:52

Here we go.

0:15:520:15:53

Setting it operating.

0:15:550:15:56

Under a lot of pressure.

0:15:560:15:58

That's a good positive shove.

0:15:580:15:59

Oh, oh, oh, oh. Look, oh, ohh.

0:15:590:16:02

I'd say that's staying. Well done!

0:16:020:16:04

Well played.

0:16:040:16:05

Two points for the Yellows.

0:16:050:16:08

3-2 to the Reds as the Reds step up to take their final shot

0:16:110:16:14

at this, their final skate.

0:16:140:16:15

Oh, oh, oh, oh. I... Oh...

0:16:180:16:19

AUDIENCE: Ohhh!

0:16:190:16:21

-OK.

-CHEERING

0:16:230:16:25

A good effort there by Katie,

0:16:250:16:28

but unfortunately the record didn't travel very far.

0:16:280:16:31

Will it be enough to beat the Yellows?

0:16:310:16:33

That's one point for the Reds.

0:16:330:16:35

Bringing the score to 4-2 to the Reds.

0:16:350:16:38

The Yellows have got to get three to win.

0:16:380:16:41

That's quite a way down the hover lane, that's quite risky.

0:16:410:16:45

Good luck, good luck.

0:16:450:16:47

-Right.

-Go on, Kai.

0:16:470:16:49

There's some support for you down here, Yellows,

0:16:490:16:52

a few members of the audience.

0:16:520:16:54

Oh, he's away. Oh, a good...

0:16:540:16:57

Oh, oh, oh, I can't stand... Oh, oh, oh. Oh, no!

0:16:570:17:01

Kai's attempt started well, but there wasn't enough air

0:17:010:17:06

pushing down to overcome the friction on our hover lane.

0:17:060:17:08

That's two points for the Yellows.

0:17:080:17:12

CHEERING

0:17:120:17:14

All of which means it's a draw between Reds and Yellows.

0:17:160:17:21

That's one point each.

0:17:210:17:23

CHEERING

0:17:230:17:25

So the scores now sitting at 2-1 to the Yellows.

0:17:260:17:29

Well done, both teams.

0:17:290:17:30

If there's one thing a lab rat hates more than fresh air,

0:17:300:17:33

it's strenuous exercise, so, of course,

0:17:330:17:36

I've tricked one into doing both of those things at once.

0:17:360:17:40

Karen Oakey was raised by a family of acorns, as an acorn,

0:17:440:17:49

and has always believed that she was, in fact, an acorn.

0:17:490:17:53

But it was only when she fell from the tree and climbed back up

0:17:530:17:57

that she began to realise she wasn't the same as the other acorns.

0:17:570:18:02

With nowhere to live, she said goodbye to her family,

0:18:040:18:08

perhaps for the last time.

0:18:080:18:10

She walked alone for hours and hours -

0:18:110:18:14

well, a couple of minutes - before spotting the answer to her prayers -

0:18:140:18:19

a new home.

0:18:190:18:21

Well, a shed in a field, which I suppose you could kind of live in.

0:18:210:18:27

"What's this got to do with science?", you ask.

0:18:270:18:30

Not a lot, really.

0:18:300:18:31

But what if you find a couple of flying human squirrels

0:18:310:18:34

to race the human acorn to her new home?

0:18:340:18:38

For science reasons, of course.

0:18:380:18:40

Meet the flying squirrels...

0:18:460:18:48

or skydiving men who've drawn the inspiration for their suits

0:18:480:18:52

from their namesakes in nature.

0:18:520:18:55

They've heard there's a giant nut wandering around the fields

0:18:550:18:59

and they are looking for dinner.

0:18:590:19:02

But how do their suits work

0:19:020:19:03

and how are they going to race with our human acorn?

0:19:030:19:07

I think I know an animation who can help.

0:19:070:19:10

Our flying squirrels have suits that create a little upwards lift

0:19:100:19:13

as they fly through the air.

0:19:130:19:15

This makes their fall more controlled,

0:19:150:19:18

meaning they can move sideways as well as down.

0:19:180:19:21

They also have parachutes, so they can slow their fall enough

0:19:210:19:24

not to get hurt when they hit the ground.

0:19:240:19:26

In this race, our slow-moving acorn

0:19:280:19:30

will start from 800m away from the shed, whereas our flying squirrels

0:19:300:19:33

will start from 4km away, as well as 4km up.

0:19:330:19:38

But will the flying squirrels catch the acorn?

0:19:380:19:41

So there we have it, one acorn's race for a new home,

0:19:420:19:47

versus a pair of flying squirrels' race for a meal.

0:19:470:19:50

But who will win?

0:19:520:19:54

OK, hold the experiment right there because there's another point

0:19:560:20:00

up for grabs here. The score right now 2-1.

0:20:000:20:02

This point will go to the team that can tell me most accurately

0:20:020:20:05

will the giant nut make it to the safety of the shed

0:20:050:20:08

before the hungry flying squirrels catch her?

0:20:080:20:11

Simple enough. You've seen what's happening.

0:20:110:20:14

The nut's 800m away from the shed,

0:20:140:20:17

the flying squirrels are 4km away and 4km up.

0:20:170:20:20

They can travel faster, but they've got much further to go.

0:20:200:20:23

Remember, they're 4km up,

0:20:230:20:25

so they'll be using gravity but also the resistance

0:20:250:20:27

of the air, but the suit lets them glide.

0:20:270:20:30

They'll open the parachutes, too.

0:20:300:20:32

Now you know what's happening, what do you think? Reds, you first.

0:20:320:20:35

-Will the nut make it before the squirrels get her?

-ALL: No.

0:20:350:20:38

-You think not?

-ALL: No.

-Yellows, what do you think?

0:20:380:20:40

-ALL: No.

-You think not as well.

0:20:400:20:43

So both teams thinking the same thing on this one.

0:20:430:20:45

OK. Well, let's find out if she does. On with the experiment.

0:20:450:20:49

So it all comes down to this one race.

0:20:520:20:55

Acorn versus squirrel, with a twist.

0:20:550:20:58

Karen Oakey is nervous but prepared for what awaits her.

0:21:000:21:04

The squirrels are in the air and eager to jump.

0:21:040:21:09

The conditions look good, let's begin.

0:21:090:21:12

Three, two, one, go!

0:21:120:21:15

The squirrels are out of the plane and flying.

0:21:160:21:19

Karen is off and running.

0:21:190:21:22

The difference in speed is immense,

0:21:220:21:24

but these squirrels have a lot more distance to cover.

0:21:240:21:28

Karen's going as fast as her little acorn legs will carry her...

0:21:280:21:31

..whilst the squirrels are now reaching speeds of over...

0:21:330:21:37

But they still have a long way to go.

0:21:380:21:42

The canopies have now opened on their parachutes.

0:21:420:21:46

But they're still miles out.

0:21:460:21:47

Karen is making slow but steady progress.

0:21:470:21:51

Will she make it to her new house before the squirrels catch her?

0:21:510:21:54

The first squirrel has located the house and is making his landing.

0:21:570:22:02

Touchdown!

0:22:030:22:04

This is not looking good for Karen.

0:22:050:22:07

Where's the acorn? Is she in the house?

0:22:070:22:09

No.

0:22:090:22:11

There she is, making a run for the field.

0:22:110:22:14

Right, after her.

0:22:140:22:15

And now here comes the second squirrel.

0:22:150:22:18

Surely Karen doesn't stand a chance now.

0:22:180:22:22

The first squirrel is closing in

0:22:220:22:24

but the acorn is running for her very life.

0:22:240:22:26

But the acorn's little legs look to be no match

0:22:280:22:30

for the speed of the squirrel.

0:22:300:22:33

Success! Looks like the squirrels are having dinner tonight.

0:22:340:22:39

Poor little acorn.

0:22:390:22:40

That takes the score to 3-2 to the Yellows.

0:22:400:22:43

Luckily for Karen Oakey,

0:22:450:22:46

those squirrels had just buried her feet in the ground

0:22:460:22:50

before they were chased off by a fox.

0:22:500:22:52

Don't worry, I shall rescue her later on, if I remember,

0:22:520:22:54

because now it's time for...

0:22:540:22:57

So, teams, in that tank, along with you, are pieces of a bridge.

0:23:000:23:05

But not just any old bridge - it is the Bridge Of Destiny.

0:23:050:23:08

DEEP VOICE: The Bridge Of Destiny.

0:23:080:23:12

Yeah. You have to find all the pieces you can to make your bridge.

0:23:120:23:16

They're all in there.

0:23:160:23:18

When you've built your bridge, pull that lever.

0:23:180:23:20

That'll release the car

0:23:200:23:21

that pulls your trailer of prizes across the tank.

0:23:210:23:24

It's that simple, that is how you play the Bridge Of Destiny.

0:23:240:23:27

DEEP VOICE: The Bridge Of Destiny.

0:23:270:23:31

OK. And the team that crosses it first will win

0:23:310:23:34

all the prizes in the car's trailer, including a land yacht,

0:23:340:23:37

a brushing robot and a marine copter.

0:23:370:23:40

Let's hope the prizes aren't too heavy for the Bridge Of Destiny.

0:23:400:23:44

-DEEP VOICE:

-The Bridge Of Destiny.

0:23:440:23:46

Fair enough. Know what you've got to do?

0:23:490:23:51

When you've built your bridge, pull the handle.

0:23:510:23:53

Yellows, you're in the lead, you have a five-second advantage.

0:23:530:23:56

Reds, go when you hear the second klaxon.

0:23:560:23:59

Right, the race to get your prize pods across the tank starts, mm...

0:23:590:24:03

now!

0:24:030:24:04

The Yellows setting off at a furious pace here.

0:24:060:24:09

There's the second siren and the Reds with it all to do

0:24:090:24:12

as the Yellows have two - no, make that three - bridge pieces in hand.

0:24:120:24:18

And it looks like Katie has already put one in place.

0:24:180:24:21

THEY SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT

0:24:210:24:24

Confusion reigning in the tank on the red side.

0:24:310:24:34

They're struggling to get off the mark, despite all the shouting.

0:24:340:24:39

And, as if things couldn't get more disgusting out there,

0:24:410:24:44

sounds like Alan's about to grace us with one of his special deliveries.

0:24:440:24:48

And while Alan was distracting us,

0:24:480:24:50

the Yellows have fitted the last piece into place.

0:24:500:24:53

They pull the lever, the car's skidding on the goo

0:24:530:24:56

and it's made it to the line, just.

0:24:560:24:59

A win in record time there. Amazing!

0:24:590:25:02

YELLOW TEAM CHEER

0:25:020:25:03

CHEERING

0:25:030:25:05

That was a close-run thing,

0:25:050:25:10

but, according to the rules, your car has made it across the tank,

0:25:100:25:13

Yellows, you are the winners!

0:25:130:25:16

CHEERING

0:25:160:25:18

Reds, I'm sorry, there were seconds in it.

0:25:180:25:20

So let's see what you've won, Yellows. Are you ready, Ninja Nan?

0:25:200:25:24

Each of you will be taking home a building-block set...

0:25:240:25:26

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:25:260:25:28

..a brush robot...

-Wow!

0:25:440:25:48

-..an electronic game.

-Oh, my God!

0:25:480:25:51

Oh, yes, quite a haul for each of you.

0:25:510:25:54

It's the time and the part of the show I always regret

0:25:540:25:57

and never enjoy.

0:25:570:25:58

No, wait. I got that the wrong way round.

0:25:580:26:00

I do enjoy it, because it's time for the part of the show I love.

0:26:000:26:04

It is Bidet Goes Bang.

0:26:040:26:05

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:26:050:26:07

Yellows, well done, well played.

0:26:130:26:15

All of this lot coming home with you. That's your haul of prizes.

0:26:150:26:18

-You're all pleased?

-ALL: Yeah.

-Of course you're pleased,

0:26:180:26:21

that's a stupid question.

0:26:210:26:23

Over here, Reds, you played really well and then you lost.

0:26:230:26:27

I'm really sorry and it was so close at the very end

0:26:270:26:31

and you're not going home with that lot, but don't worry,

0:26:310:26:34

because you will at least get something,

0:26:340:26:36

you'll take something home today.

0:26:360:26:38

A bit of exercise, as you join me on the Walk of Shame.

0:26:380:26:43

Come on, team, this way.

0:26:430:26:45

AUDIENCE: Awww!

0:26:450:26:47

-Aw, I know.

-I'm sad.

0:26:470:26:50

It is sad.

0:26:530:26:55

Let's just be brave.

0:26:590:27:01

It's been a journey, an adventure, a voyage,

0:27:040:27:07

with shared experiences and then you lost

0:27:070:27:09

and now you're going to blow your prizes up, simple as that.

0:27:090:27:12

If you'd lift the plunger, please, girls.

0:27:120:27:15

Lift it up, hold it till we're ready. We'll count them down from...

0:27:150:27:18

ALL: Five, four, three, two, one...

0:27:180:27:21

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:27:230:27:24

You've been great sports, Reds.

0:27:270:27:30

Thanks for playing, girls, sorry you didn't win.

0:27:300:27:32

Today we've made hovercrafts from records and chased nuts by air.

0:27:320:27:35

Just another day in the office.

0:27:350:27:37

A gungy, smelly, bangy, science-y sort of office. See you next time.

0:27:370:27:41
