0:00:02 > 0:00:06- It's splat time!- Today, 12 brave young warriors will enter Splatalot
0:00:06 > 0:00:09to go head-to-head with the dastardly defenders
0:00:09 > 0:00:13as they battle it out to capture the highly coveted crown of Splatalot.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19Will the defenders keep the castle safe and protect Splatalot?
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Or will the attackers reign victorious?
0:00:24 > 0:00:28So, who will tumble, who will tilt, who will teeter
0:00:28 > 0:00:30and who will go...splat?
0:00:32 > 0:00:36- Hello. I'm not Dom.- And I'm not Dick. - And this isn't Blue Peter.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38- What else is this not? - That would take too long.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Easier to say that this is Splatalot, the modern-day medieval game show
0:00:42 > 0:00:46that pits 12 feisty young attackers against evil moat-dwelling defenders.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50The prize at the end is the much-treasured crown of Splatalot.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52By the end of the show, there will be a new king or queen.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56But we don't just hand the crown over to any Tom, Dick or Dom.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58They have to earn it over three rounds.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Round one, the moat challenge. Only the six fastest survive.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Round two, escape the stockade. Only four will succeed.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09And round three, the grand final, where there can be only one winner.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12And that's not what Splatalot isn't.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- Pardon?- Double negative.- Oh. OK.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17So should I or shouldn't I suggest
0:01:17 > 0:01:20that we don't not take a look at the first round in more detail?
0:01:20 > 0:01:25- Er... No, I suggest we shouldn't not.- Right.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28While I work out what that means, here's the challenge in more detail.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30We begin with the baffling barrels,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33then up the slippery slope to the rolling mace.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Keep an eye out for the splat-zooka, though.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Then it's down the impossible incline
0:01:38 > 0:01:40and across the beastly battle-axes.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43This time, you'll have a high-powered water cannon for company.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Then it's over the rope bridge of disaster.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Onto the perilous pole vault to finish at the castle entrance.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51You'd think that would be enough.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54But think again, because this isn't just about the attackers.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56No, no. No, no, no, no! It's also about this lot.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Please welcome the Splatalot defenders.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01They're lean, mean and generally unclean.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05In round one, it'll be the crafty and cranky Crocness,
0:02:05 > 0:02:07the feathery, bird-brained Kookaburra.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11- I'm going to be the Thorne in your side!- And our prickly friend Thorne.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Do you think they remember each other's birthdays?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I doubt they remember each other's names.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- But they never forget to slow down the attackers.- And here's Marco.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24- Red orange juice! WHOO!- Marco, full of energy. This is against the clock.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- It's time you took a swim in the moat!- No, there's no time for...
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- Oh.- It looks like there IS time. You really shouldn't listen to Thorne.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Now, what mood is Kookaburra in? - Marco, how you doing, buddy?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38That's good. I'm looking forward to blasting you today.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42He's polite enough, but that's just the Kook before the storm.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45That's what I'm talking about, Thorney. That's how we roll.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Well, Marco's getting splatted, but he's made it to the base.
0:02:48 > 0:02:54- My name is Thorne, not Thorney.- OK, I apologise, Thorney. I mean Thorne.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Oh, Thorney not happy with Kookie, and now Marco's...
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Oh, he's in the lentils.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Full marks to the mace for leaving its mark on Marco.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Do you want to bump fists?
0:03:05 > 0:03:06- Why not?- Yes!
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- They seem to have made up. Time for Crocness to get involved.- Hi, Marco.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Marco now has three defenders to worry about.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- Ooh, floppy flat-wrangler! - Now, what was Marco thinking?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20He leaps for the battle-axes but misses and dives into the wall.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Impressive. Pointless, but impressive.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Well, he's OK for now, but Kookaburra is splatting him repeatedly.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- Bad luck, Marco, Kook's already in the zone.- Yes! I thank you.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Not sure if Marco should be lying down on the job, though.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Looks like you've got something on your face.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Want me to wash it off? - Yeah!- Marco getting lippy.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- Oh, grubby twizzler! - Now he's getting slippy.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49And that's why they named it the rope bridge of disaster.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- Come on, Marco, just the pole-o to go.- Marco, how do you like it?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56You mean apart from the cannon, the slippery pole and the moat?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- He's still holding on.- Indeed he is,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02and Marco holds on to finish in a reasonable time of 5:31.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- That could be good enough. - See you next time!
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- I'll see you on the next level! - Here's Julian. He likes juggling.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10How about barrelling?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Hogwash! Julian slips at the last barrel.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Like falling at the first hurdle, but totally different.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- The slope... Kook and Thorne await. - How you doing, brother?
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Welcome, Julian. Do you think you're tough enough for the crown?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Basildon! Thorne and Kook testing Julian in their own sweet way.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32But Julian is passing their test. Look at him go! He's over the mace!
0:04:32 > 0:04:35But he's overshot the incline, the fuzz dangler.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Yep, you pass one test then find an even harder one round the corner.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40But he's made it to the perilous pole vault.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Give him some of that shower power!
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- Hope you can swim! - He might not need to.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Oh, baldy ding-dang flip-flops.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49He may have fallen at the last,
0:04:49 > 0:04:52but he crosses the finishing line with a time of 5:50.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- I made it! I beat you! - No, it didn't quite look like that.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- Lime green rice!- Well, Danielle seems to be a colourful character.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04# Danielle, welcome to the castle! #
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- Redditch!- How are you, Danielle?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Do you think Kook really cares? - Course he does.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13He really cares about knocking Danielle off that mace.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- Monkey fillet! - Kook actually misses Danielle,
0:05:16 > 0:05:20but that mace never misses a chance to throw someone into the moat.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22At the incline... Kook fires and hits.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Danielle runs, trips.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- Grubby wizard!- In slow motion, it's quite a graceful little dive.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Shame that counts for nothing.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Well, Danielle graced us with her presence for 9:25,
0:05:31 > 0:05:33which could put her in the danger zone.
0:05:33 > 0:05:39- I ride bikes!- Well, he also rode across the barrels and up the slope.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41But he's losing his balance on the mace.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42Crabnuts!
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Defend the castle, Croc. - I'm trying.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48See this girl? She's silent but she's deadly.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Yeah, just like a fart, buddy.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Mm, Croc not happy with that remark. - Wiggy!
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- Travis also overshoots the incline. - No-one's made it over yet.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59You think you're going to be king of this castle?
0:06:00 > 0:06:01Tell us, then.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Whoop-a-doing! Describe that move.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Well, it was part kangaroo, part duck-billed platypus.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- Or "platyroo" for short. - Better run, Travis.- There he goes!
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Flail, flail!
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Well, Kook's right, a lot of flailing, then a lot of falling.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22He finishes in five minutes dead. When I say "dead", I don't...
0:06:22 > 0:06:27- Dinos unite!- Here's our fifth attacker, Jenn, now on the slope.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Slowly... Slowly...
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Catchee monkey!
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Monkey! Monkey!
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Monkey!
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Just stay still so I can do another one, please.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43There's your answer. He won't stop doing it.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Here she is at the mace. And beefy milkshake!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Jenn's into circus skills, but that mace isn't clowning around.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Ever thought about joining the circus?- Ha ha(!)
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Will she come a cropper at the choppers?
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Bangle lap!
0:06:55 > 0:06:57What circus skills does she have, exactly?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Oh, great. Not funny.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03No-one's laughing at that time. Jenn is the second fastest so far.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Beware of the unitard! - Hi, Dominic.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- Hello!- No, the attacker's name is Dominic.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Vorsprung!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- His name's Dominic Vorsprung? - This could be a long round.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- All right, Dominic. - Kook aims, fires and...
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Alfreton!
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- Another perfect splat from Kook. - Dominic...- Yes?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Attacker Dominic almost over the mace, but...
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- Squinty glut!- "Almost over" -
0:07:24 > 0:07:27that's just a kind way of saying "in the moat".
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- How will he cope with Crocness? - Want a nice shower?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32It's "nice" I'm having trouble with.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Dominic's having trouble with the bridge.- How about
0:07:35 > 0:07:38"Want a nasty cold shower to force you off the rope bridge?"?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40That's what she should have said.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Meanwhile, Dom has finished with a time of 5:25.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45So, we're halfway through round one,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48and five of our attackers have posted times under six minutes.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Travis leads with a time of five minutes dead.- He's not dead.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53And Danielle is in danger, with 9:25.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56But at this stage in the competition, no-one is safe.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Remember, only the six fastest go through,
0:07:59 > 0:08:02with six more attackers to come. It's anyone's game.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Yes, it's on a knife edge, not to mention a barrel edge,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07a rolling mace edge, a moat edge and a battle-axe edge.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Wow, this show's so edgy!
0:08:13 > 0:08:16So, let's look at the first half in more depth.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Travis is currently the fastest, with a time of five minutes.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25He also is now affectionately known as Platyroo.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Oi! Jenn is in second place.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31And now has a bit of a reputation for clowning around.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Take it off! But Danielle is in the danger zone.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38She likes lime green rice but won't like her time of 9:25.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41That was the first half in more depth.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46- Wouldn't it just be easier to show the leaderboard?- Oh, yes. Er, right.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Confirmation that Travis is in the lead,
0:08:48 > 0:08:50but there's a gap between the rest and Danielle
0:08:50 > 0:08:52in that vulnerable sixth place.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Yes, with only 50 seconds separating the top five,
0:08:55 > 0:08:57it's all too close to call!
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Yeah, and I think we're too close to the camera now. Come on, back it up.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03No! Too close, I tell you! Mm!
0:09:03 > 0:09:06While Dom calms down, let's return to the moat. The defenders are ready,
0:09:06 > 0:09:08and so is our next attacker.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11I am a banana warrior!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13That's my favourite battle cry so far, Syd.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18Er, it's Sydney. And she crosses the barrels like a true banana warrior.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Whoo, Sydney! You're a fast one!
0:09:20 > 0:09:23I suspect Kook has plans to slow her down.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Boof!- Cheadle!- How are ya? My name's Kook.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28You can call me Kook.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Thank you! What was that?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Well, she can ask, but the paint balls keep coming, and...
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- Wimple tweezers! Into the moat! - She tries to hold on,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40but holding on simply guarantees a trip into the badoosh.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- Bad luck, Syd.- Sydney!
0:09:42 > 0:09:44She was good on the barrels, not so good on the mace.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- How about the battle-axes?- Crosses them with ease.- And the bridge?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Ooh, crunkle fest! - And the replay shows
0:09:51 > 0:09:54that Sydney had paint balls and the water cannon to deal with.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56But 3:17 is the fastest time today. Well done, Syd.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58For the last time...
0:09:58 > 0:09:59it's Sydney!
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Purple horses!
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Nicole likes purple horses,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06but will she like blue Thorne and purple Kookaburra?
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- Come on, Nicole, we're waiting. - We are.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- There's Nicole! That's the pretty face I want to see!- Scared, Nicole?
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- I would be, looking at Thorne. - Oh, no...
0:10:17 > 0:10:22Drumfield! Well, Kook manages to splat Nicole AND offend Thorne.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- That's multiskilling. - Biridin-baby! Bad luck, Nic.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Oi, do you want another pie? - No. Sorry, Nicola.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- She hates you. - I wouldn't like me after that.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- A great jump down the incline. - Woah, you got skills!
0:10:33 > 0:10:35She has, but she'll need them to cross those axes.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- I can see you, Nicole. - Yes, Croc, so can we.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Ooh, squat drops!
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Not any more!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44A fine contender for Splat of the Day,
0:10:44 > 0:10:47but despite a great start, Nicole has run out of time
0:10:47 > 0:10:51- and won't go through.- Here's our next attacker.- Purple penguins rule!
0:10:51 > 0:10:54What's with all this purple today?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- How you doing there, sweetheart? - Belfast!
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Well, Kook's having a purple patch.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00- Hey! - Hey, you can't throw that back!
0:11:02 > 0:11:04What's Kook's response? Fife!
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Fife! Fife!
0:11:07 > 0:11:08- Fife!- Good.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- Quite a response. - Has it put her off her stride?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- Fishy spittle, yes, it has! - Kook and the rolling mace,
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- what a dastardly, devious double act. - Bum-bums!
0:11:16 > 0:11:20- Thank you!- But what's this? Olivia's still throwing paint balls!
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- Don't mess up my hair! - Can Olivia make it over the axes?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Midaddy!- I don't think you'll be seeing any purple penguins today!
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Crocness knows how to put a downer on things.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34It gets worse - Olivia's just run out of time, too. She's out.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Oh, look, purple penguins.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Waffle king!
0:11:36 > 0:11:40- "Waffle king"?!- That's funny, I thought YOU were the king of waffle.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Maybe I am. If you look at it from...
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Stop waffling. Ooh, no waffling from Kook.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- What are you doing with that ammunition?- You can't do that!
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- He's got a paint ball. It's throwing the defenders.- Here comes a splat.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- Connor throws the paint ball!- It may have distracted Thorn and Kook,
0:11:55 > 0:11:56but the mace is having none of it.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- Skull chugger!- That was a great showdown with the defenders,
0:12:00 > 0:12:02but it cost him too much time, so Connor is out.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- Here's Derek! - D-Reckz, what's happening?
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- D-Reckz, AKA King Derek.- How you going, brother? You all right?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12You're going to fall in the moat, that's what.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Can Derek prove Thorne wrong?
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- Cratchety flatchet! No, he can't. - Too much speed across the mace,
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- then no room to put on the brakes. - Meet Crocness on the water cannon.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26You don't look cold enough, Derek.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29You know what they say, Derek - what goes up must come down.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Yep, and that's you going down.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35It seems all the defenders want to do is talk poor Derek into the moat.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38If I had to listen to them, the moat might seem the best option.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Despite all that, he finishes in 4:32. D-Reckz might still be king.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- Don't know what that dance is about. - Multi meatballs!
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- Steven! How you going, mate?- Oof! - Not too good. A little bit wet.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Poor young Steven barely gets a chance to start
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- before Kook starts on him.- The barrels are hard enough without Kook.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- # Steven! #- Oh, dear, Kook sings, and splat.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Steven must be a music lover.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05He simply couldn't deal with that bum note from Kookaburra.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- # Come on, Steven, let's go! # - More singing from Kook, and...
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- Floppy ham!- Let's hope Kook doesn't release any singles.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Yes, but we have to release Steven, as his time won't cut it.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18That's the end of round one. Let's see who's through to the stockade.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Impressive. Sydney was over a minute faster than the other attackers.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29But everyone starts from scratch in the stockade,
0:13:29 > 0:13:31which means that crown could still be anybody's.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- So expect more action, excitement and tension.- Not to mention
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- more splatting.- Don't, then. - Don't what?- Mention it.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Now, in honour of the musically challenged Kookaburra,
0:13:44 > 0:13:46here is world-famous tenor Dickie Splatterotti
0:13:46 > 0:13:48with a summary of round one,
0:13:48 > 0:13:50accompanied by me on the kazoo.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54# Ah!
0:13:54 > 0:13:56# Sydney the banana warrior
0:13:56 > 0:13:59# She's fast and nothing worries her
0:13:59 > 0:14:01# D-Reckz is a happening attacker
0:14:01 > 0:14:03# Who happens to be called Derek, if that matters
0:14:03 > 0:14:06# There's Travis the kangaroo platypus
0:14:06 > 0:14:08# And Jenn, who belongs in a cir-coose
0:14:08 > 0:14:10# That leaves us with Dom and Marco
0:14:10 > 0:14:13# Who make six, but only four can go through! #
0:14:13 > 0:14:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Lovely. In case that made no sense whatsoever,
0:14:18 > 0:14:20here's the leaderboard again.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Remember, the four attackers who survive this round
0:14:26 > 0:14:29will be competing for the crown in the grand final...
0:14:29 > 0:14:30Trousers.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36To escape the stockade, the attackers have to cross the barrels
0:14:36 > 0:14:38and leap on the mini hexagons.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Where they can reach up for the ladder rungs to make their ladders.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45All this time, the stockade will be filling up with foam and water.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49Then they can grab one of four flags before making their escape.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52So, six attackers, but only four flags.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Yes, that is the evil genius behind this round -
0:14:55 > 0:14:57two attackers are going home.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59And talking of evil geniuses...
0:14:59 > 0:15:03He's a genius show-off, the one and only Gildar.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06She's a genius scaremonger. Say hello to Knightriss.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- And finally, the grimy and slimy... - Tinkor!
0:15:09 > 0:15:12He's a genius at avoiding showers.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- It's not going to be pretty! - Yes, I am.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- Yes, it's the defenders! - Don't you just love Gildar?
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Sydney's in the yellow stripe, Derek wears orange,
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Jennifer has the red stripe, Travis has gone for pink.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27That attracts the attention of Tinkor and Gildar.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Dominic has the orange stripe, and Marco is in all yellow.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- KLAXON - The klaxon sounds.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34And Knightriss starts foaming.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36How will the attackers deal with this?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Marco's made a confident start.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40He needs one, after finishing last in the moat.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Ooh, Gildar with a good grenade splat. And Marco leaps for cover!
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Ooh, even more goo from Gildar!
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Warwick!
0:15:49 > 0:15:52That splat actually knocked Sydney off her barrel.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56The foam and the tension are rising. Gildar switches to the slime stick.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- And splats Derek off his hexagon. - Gildar has done it again. Thank you!
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- Dominic...- Yes?
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- No, attacker Dominic has his first rung.- Gentlemen, some help, please!
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- Gildar to the rescue with another goo grenade.- A good shot. High five.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- They're the Chuckle Brothers. - Splat me.- Splat you.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- Gildar?- Yes?- You seem to have something on your face!
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- Don't touch me! - Gildar is having a bad hair day.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23- Sydney now has a rung, and Dominic... - Yes?- ..makes another leap.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Travis now collides with Marco. Yes, he's really got him over a barrel!
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- Quite literally! Geddit? - Yes, boss...
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Miss Sassy! Yes, you! Take some of this!
0:16:32 > 0:16:37- Knightriss is now in a right lather. Literally!- Calm down with the puns.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40But she's really got it in for Jenn with that foam cannon.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Gildar's got it in for Derek whilst Derek's mid-jump.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Sums up this show. You won't see that anywhere else.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49- Tinkor's now up to something.- Looks like Derek's on the receiving end.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Yoo-hoo, orange! Say cheese!
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Mm, orange cheese and slime. Tinkor at his best there.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Dominic can't stop leaping and now he can't escape Knightriss.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Knightriss is waiting for you!
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Sydney is making progress with her ladder.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06But Tinkor is defending his little heart out.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10- Wham-shacker!- Derek's showing us how to leap...the hard way.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13How about Travis? Good leap, and a splat into the foam.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Here's a bird's-eye view. No, make that a Derek's-eye view.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17Who's Tinkor sliming?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- Dominic!- Yes?- I'm ignoring you...
0:17:20 > 0:17:23We think that's Marco with another rung.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24Hard to tell with all this foam.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27It hasn't stopped him leaping. Great effort!
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Look out for the domino effect here.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Marco leaps and tags Sydney, who hits Derek, and down they go.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36None of that slows Marco down. He's leaping, climbing and building.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37That's his last rung.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41And as a special treat, Tinkor gives him a thorough sliming.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- Marvellous!- Yes, Tinkor really is a little slime ball.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46TINKOR LAUGHS
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Things are hotting up now as Marco grabs the first flag.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52And just behind is Dominic. Don't say anything!
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- Marco is on his way up.- Oh, Travis has the third flag. Only one left.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Marco makes it to the top and wins the second round.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03Dominic rushes over to his ladder and makes it through in second.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Narrowly beating Travis. What a race!
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Now it gets nail-biting. Who will grab the last place in the final?
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Jennifer's finished her ladder, but Sydney and Derek still need rungs.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- Gildar, sassy!- Sassy? - Get Sassy!- Where?- There!
0:18:17 > 0:18:18And Jennifer has the last flag.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21She's heading towards her ladder. Look at Gildar!
0:18:21 > 0:18:24He's still furious about Tinkor messing up his hair.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27It won't bother Jenn, as she's through to the final.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- And it's farewell to Derek and Sydney.- So we have our finalists,
0:18:30 > 0:18:32who take in a peek at the final course.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39They'll be mighty relieved right now. They've overcome two big challenges.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41But we've saved the toughest till last.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44All six defenders will be protecting the crown in the final,
0:18:44 > 0:18:46plus the obstacles get bigger.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49They don't get any bigger than the titanic teeter-totters.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Our brave attackers must get over them
0:18:51 > 0:18:54and past the defenders to claim that crown.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Go on, then, Dick, splat me with some splat stats. Here's your hat.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04OK. Well, we said goodbye to Sydney and D-Reckz in the stockade.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06They were the fastest in the moat challenge,
0:19:06 > 0:19:09so it just goes to show that speed isn't everything on Splatalot.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12In fact, Marco, who finished last in round one,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15then went on to win round two, so he could well be the new favourite.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18The defenders have been well behaved today - not much bickering.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20But that could all change now.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Doesn't take much to set them off, especially when all six are involved.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Ah! Take your hat off. Back to the attackers.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Dominic, Jennifer, Marco and Travis are today's finalists.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32The end of the show is in sight.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Oh, yes, but not before we see a whole lorry-load more splatting,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38courtesy of the guys we love to hate but we secretly love...a bit.
0:19:38 > 0:19:43They are Knightriss, Thorne, Tinkor, Crocness, Gildar and Kookaburra.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46And of course there's the course.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Ooh, clever.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Our four brave warriors start with a cleansing mud bath.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54They slide over the slippy slides towards the teeter-totters.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58The barrier of all barriers and the leaping lily pads await.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00But beware, the defenders are well armed.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04The water wall is then all that separates them from the crown.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Well, the defenders are getting into position. Gildar's washed his hair.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09So let's see the attackers.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Dominic is in orange and blue, Marco is in yellow,
0:20:12 > 0:20:16then Travis is in pink and Jennifer in purple and orange.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17KLAXON
0:20:17 > 0:20:19There's the klaxon. They're into the mud bath!
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Thorne and Kookaburra are waiting to hose them down with foam.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25There's "snow" way out. Geddit? "Snow" way out.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Cos it looks a little bit like snow.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31It's "snow" time for puns, Kook, this is the final.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Marco has the dubious honour of being the first off the teeters.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39Dominic just holding on, but Crocness slimes him off! Splat!
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Travis is the next to teeter, and they're all starting to fall!
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Jenn still up...
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- Woah, no, she isn't.- So the teeters once more claim four victims.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Dominic now making progress, until Tinkor splats him.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Yes, the replay reveals top work from Tinkor,
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- with an ankle-biting paint ball. - Yes, Tinky! High ten! Ha!
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Oh, splat! Marco is down again.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04These teeters are really taking their toll.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07And so is Thorne now as he vaporises Dominic.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Oh, and Gildar is adding more slime to the paint balls. Is that allowed?
0:21:11 > 0:21:12- Dawlish!- Puddler!
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Load it up again. Load it up again!
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Marco won't like this new tactic.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20The defenders seem to have the upper hand in these early stages.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Travis, nearly...
0:21:22 > 0:21:24No, he's off.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- Crocness still sliming Dominic. - Kookaburra has his sights on Marco.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Plymouth!
0:21:29 > 0:21:33- And the poor lad's down again.- Marco must be wondering what's going on.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37The poor lad has been splatted three times now in exactly the same place.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Travis totters again. Jenn looks more balanced.- Newquay!
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- A lesser warrior would have been knocked down, but not Jenn.- Ooh! Oh!
0:21:43 > 0:21:46And she makes it to the barrier.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50But slides back, and the rules state she has to start all over again.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52So, can Travis capitalise on that?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Yes, yes, yes...
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- No.- Dominic's on top of the barrier. But Knightriss has spotted him!
0:21:59 > 0:22:05- No, my dear! There's no stopping.- He leaps, and yes, he's onto a lily pad.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07But the defenders will be on to him now.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Jenn still can't get over the barrier. But what about Travis?
0:22:11 > 0:22:13He succeeds this time. Come on, Platyroo! He leaps.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16And yes, he's onto a lily pad, joining Dominic.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17It's not easy, is it, my boy?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Understatement of the year from Knightriss.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- But Dominic is making progress. - Marco's heading for the barrier.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- He's up!- But he slides straight over!
0:22:26 > 0:22:30You have to plant two feet onto the barrier, so that won't be allowed.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Dominic plants both elbows on the platform, which IS allowed.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Jenn is still teetering skilfully, but she's way behind Marco,
0:22:36 > 0:22:38who is approaching the water wall.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Jenn won't give up, but Marco is now even further ahead.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47- Too late for Travis.- Possibly, but it's definitely too late for Marco.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Jenn is on the barrier at last, but Dominic has finished his climb.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54He reaches for the crown. And it's all over! History has been made!
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Go on, say it. Say it!
0:22:56 > 0:22:58OK, all hail King Dominic...
0:22:58 > 0:23:02I'm the king! Who's the king? Yes, I am the king. That's who. The king!
0:23:02 > 0:23:03You are not the king.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Ha-ha, are you the king? No, I'm the king. Ah, is Dick the king?
0:23:06 > 0:23:07No! Dom's the king.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11I'll never hear the end of this. Here's Splat of the Day.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Today's splat happened in the moat challenge,
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- when Nicole took on the battle-axes and came a cropper.- There's more.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24- We have to see Gildar's new hairstyle once more.- Don't touch me!
0:23:24 > 0:23:26What a double act!
0:23:26 > 0:23:29The defenders also getting splatted today - that's an extra bonus.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Yes, but nothing beats the fact that our new king is called Dom.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35OK, let's see how he did it.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36That's him, not you.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Dominic wasn't a high-flyer in round one.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44- He only came second in the stockade. - But he led when it really mattered.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49And had time for some top splatting before becoming King Dominic.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51I'm the king of the castle!
0:23:51 > 0:23:52All hail King Dom!
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Can we have an attacker called Dick next time?
