Team Daffodevils The Dare Devil

How far would you dare to go to win a prize for your family?

Would you do this... this...or even this?

I'm the Dare Devil,

and it's time to push another team to their limits.

A family I find They dream of a prize

On courage they draw With hope in their eyes

All they need do is face each of my dares

There's revulsion, embarrassment, and heart-pounding scares!

So wishes, wants and temptation beware

For the Dare Devil waits with a devilish dare!

HE CACKLES MISCHIEVOUSLY

Now, let's see which unsuspecting family we have today...

And who is this?

My name is Glynn. I'm 11 years old.

I like drama, but I hate melted cheese.

-Well done, bro.

-Thanks.

-I'm Glynn's twin, Robert,

and there's only eight minutes between us.

He's the oldest, but I'm the most mischievous.

I'm beginning to like this lot.

I'm Kevin. I'm Glynn and Robert's dad. I like art, reading, history.

There's nothing I'm afraid of, which I think I don't like.

My name's Carol. I'm Glynn and Robert's mammy.

I like spending time with the family,

but I hate cold water and heights.

Yes. They'll do nicely.

Time to pay them a visit!

Yes!

Good day, intriguing family of Swansea. I've been watching you.

-Who are you?

-Good question.

Some call me Mr Lamplight. Others prefer to call me Lord Balsamic.

But you can call me the Dare Devil!

I'm here to offer you the chance to win a lovely prize.

All you must do is complete a few harmless, devilish dares.

'You'll be given four lives to complete my devilish dares.

'Glynn's team captain, so he will decide who does each dare.

'Twin brother Robert will be on hand to assist him.'

Dare Devil, Dare Devil, I dare...

'You grown-up types will complete the first three devious dares,

'but lose a life for every dare you fail.

'Glynn and Robert will need every life they can get

'when they return to my castle, to face the Chambers of Bravery!

'The more lives you keep, the more chances you'll have

'to depart through the Golden Door, and win the final prize.'

-Well, Glynn. Are you interested?

-Yes.

-Then you'll be needing this.

This is the Dare Devil's Doubloon.

It can be used once and only once

to buy you or one of your team-mates out of a dare,

but remember, someone must always take their place.

-OK.

-So, Glynn -

what would you like your team to be known as?

ALL: The Daffo-Devils!

So, Team Daffo-Devils, are you ready for devilish,

dastardly dare number one?

ALL: Yes!

Time to consult the Riddle Maker.

It holds all the clues you need.

But remember, the devil is in the detail!

You will need high hopes to pass this dare

There's nothing to stop you, except for thin air...

You'd jump on a trampoline into thin air, and try to reach stuff,

and you come down and be careful when you land.

-Could be bungee jumping, though.

-CAROL:

-Bungee jumping, yeah.

"Nothing to stop you except thin air." That's fall into the sky,

-that could be...parachute.

-Parachute, yeah.

What could it be, though? What is it?

Now, I must hurry you, Glynn.

You must decide which of your team-mates is to go forward

and complete this dare.

Dare Devil, Dare Devil, I dare Dad.

-Yes!

-Dad!

You have been chosen for the first dare.

Glynn, why have you chosen Dad?

I have chosen Dad because I think he has high hopes.

He has high hopes?

-You think it's something to do with heights, do you?

-Yeah.

Right, it is time to depart for our first devilish dare.

Come through, come through.

Well, here we are at one of these huge alien bathtubs

you humans call a quarry.

And let me draw your attention to the rather large crane

stood directly in front of you.

It is this that has inspired our first dare,

a dare I like to call Extreme Milk Shaking.

SHE SCREAMS

In a few moments, Dad, you will hop, skip and bungee jump

from the top of that crane,

but that is not all.

What I want you to do is shake up

one of my all-time favourite strawberry milkshakes

while you fall.

Time for the first ingredient.

Mmm.

And mustn't forget the flavour.

There we go.

Help a brother out - take the spoon and add the cheese to the mixture.

Good, good.

That should make it lovely and gloopy.

There. That should do it.

Now, remember - you must bring back enough milkshake to quench my thirst

to win this dare. Sounds easy?

Hmm.

How about now?

Remember - lose the dare, lose the life

and the final round, the Chambers of Bravery,

just got a whole lot harder.

I'm feeling very nervous, but at the same time quite excited about it.

-Yes, I'm looking forward to it.

-He's going to keep all the milk in.

-Yes, I think.

-I think he's going to do very well.

-He's definitely going to do it.

-He's brave.

-Yeah.

It's the best day of our lives.

At 400 feet, this is the UK's highest bungee jump.

It's bound to make Dad a little bit queasy.

Let's count him down.

-ALL:

-Five, four,

three, two, one,

go!

Oh, my gosh!

FAMILY CHEERS

Don't drink it, Dad, that's cheating!

It's my milkshake!

Thank you, Dare Devil!

THEY LAUGH

Oh, no!

We saw plenty of liquid fly out, but how much will be left in the bottle?

I knew when he went up there he was nervous. Cos he's 43 now

and I think it's going to be the last one he's going to do now

cos he's getting pretty old.

-Dad.

-Hi, Dad!

Well done, brilliant!

How was your trip?

-Very good, thank you very much.

-I'm pleased to hear it.

But let's see if you've saved enough milkshake

to quench my infernal thirst.

An awful long way to fall if you haven't passed the dare.

Mm.

Oh, that's a pitiful amount.

Oh, about half full.

Oh, that's nearly full.

Well, let me see.

You've passed.

Now, let's see how many lives you have left.

They have four lives remaining!

It is time for the second terrifying dare.

Time to consult the Riddle Maker.

It holds all the clues you need,

but remember, the devil is in the detail!

To pass this next dare You must be on the ball

Shoot in the box and try not to fall

I reckon it's one of them big balls on water.

-That you've to go into.

-Oh, yeah.

Well, whoever it is, they're getting wet. OK?

Now, Glynn, you must decide who will complete the second dastardly dare.

Dare Devil, Dare Devil I dare...

-Mum.

-Mum!

And what are Mum's qualities that make you think

she's the person for the job, Captain?

-A good laugh!

-A good laugh?

Well, we'll see. Right, it is time to depart.

Ah, yes. Splendid.

And we're dressed for the occasion.

Here we are in one of my favourite places to visit.

So much water, such big, hungry fish

and what tremendously high sides!

And it is this combination that has triggered my next dare,

a dare I like to call...

Soaky Soccer.

So, Mum, it is here that you must take to the water

for a game of Soaky Soccer. So to crank it up a level,

you're going to be inside one of these...

HE CLICKS HIS FINGERS

THE BOYS LAUGH

You in there!

I'm really worried about the ball breaking

and actually ending up in the water.

She has played football, but she can't score goals.

-After this, I think she will still love us.

-Hope so.

The dare is simple - Mum's got until I blow my whistle

to take to the water and score a goal through those posts over there.

-Oh, and Mum? You'll be needing this.

-WHISTLE BLOWS

-You can do it!

-To the ball!

-To the ball!

Come on!

Come on, Car!

THEY SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT

It's easy!

If she fails to score, then they'll lose the dare.

Come on, Car! Come on!

Remember - lose the dare, lose the life.

And winning the prize gets a whole lot harder.

Go on, Mum!

For the Daffo-Devils!

There she is, diving like a true Premiership footballer.

-Come on, Car!

-Well, boys, one thing's for sure -

Mum's not going to be best pleased with you!

You can do it!

The Daffo-Devils will be set for relegation

after this shoddy performance!

It's not going very well, is it, boys?

You can do it!

WHISTLE BLOWS

I gave the dare my best shot,

but it was just impossible with the wind and the elements.

It was just impossible to get the ball to go in the right direction.

I think Mum did really well because she put all her effort into it.

Even though Mum didn't score a goal, it doesn't matter

cos we're going to keep our heads and get on with it.

-Well done, Car.

-Well done.

Well, Carol.

You didn't score a goal and you have failed this dare,

but let's find out how many lives you have left.

They have three lives remaining!

Dad, Mum,

one of you will have to do another dare,

but what will it be?

Let's consult the Riddle Maker.

Remember - the devil is in the detail!

In this tasty test You may be licked

Your animal instincts Could be tricked

-That's a tarantula.

-That's rats?

-Tarantula.

-It's going to be hairy.

-Spiders are hairy.

-Mammoths are hairy.

-GLYNN: Well, there you are then.

-Rats are hairy.

-Rats are very hairy.

Well, there you are then.

THEY LAUGH

Team Captain Glynn, it is time for you to decide

which of your team-mates will complete the next dare.

Dare Devil, Dare Devil I dare...

Dad.

Dad, another dare for you, bungee-jumping dad.

Right, time to travel to the next dare.

Come on, come on.

Here we are in a farmyard

visiting some of my oldest and wisest friends.

-Dave.

-DAVE MOOS

We're here for a dare I like to call...

Old McDaredevil's Farm.

THE BOYS LAUGH

Right, Dad.

In a few moments' time you are going to be licked on your hands and feet

by five farmyard animals in turn.

COW MOOS

You will be blindfolded and your ears will be covered.

Nevertheless, you must guess which animal is tasting your skin.

You must get three out of five correct

to successfully complete this dare.

Right, my devilish assistants,

blindfold and ear defenders on the old man.

-There you go.

-Look at him. Complicit in his own destruction.

How satisfying.

Third dare, we've lost one life.

I'm going to do this and we're not going to lose another.

If animals were licking my feet, I think they'd be ill for a week

because my feet are stinky.

Bring on the first animal.

Animal number one - Derek.

Let's hope it doesn't take Dad donkey's years to figure this out.

Here it comes.

Flapping its wings.

I wonder what it is?

Remember - lose the dare, lose the life

and the Chambers of Bravery just got a whole lot harder.

How do you feel, Dad? How does that feel on your skin?

-No, that's nice.

-Is it?

-It's quite pleasant, that one.

-Now, tell me. What did you think it was?

-Um...

I think that was...a pony.

A pony? Not a bad guess.

I must tell you it was a donkey.

But that is very close and I will give it to you.

Bring on the next animal.

Animal number two. Despite his appearance,

there'll be no kidding around with Geoffrey.

GLYNN LAUGHS

Something crunchy on the toes.

There its hungry tongue goes.

Any idea?

Whiskers.

-Whiskers, you say?

-Um...

You've got to get three out of five correct, remember.

I haven't got a clue. I honestly haven't got a clue.

Well, Dad. What did you think it was?

That was difficult, but I'm going with...

-..pig.

-Pig, you say?

-A truffly, snuffly nose?

-Yes, that sort of one.

In fact it was a goat.

Aw!

Bring in the next animal!

Animal number three, our feathered friend Heather.

Careful - we don't want Dad to take flight.

Here it comes.

SHEEP BLEATS

Hello!

There we are. What do you feel?

Ow!

-It's one of them.

-It's one of those?

Ow!

-It's not an owl.

-Ow!

It's not an owl, no. I must press you for your answer, Dad.

What do you think it was?

It was definitely a duck.

-Definitely a duck, you say?

-Yes.

Well, your impression of the animal was like this.

It wasn't a duck, it was a hen,

but they both make that ridiculous movement

and I was so tickled by your impression,

I'm going to give it to you. Well done.

Thank you very much.

Bring in the next animal.

Animal number four.

Time to see how dad fares with my old friend, Dave.

Here it comes.

Little fella.

'Dad has to get three out of five animals correct.

'So far he only has two. This next animal is crucial.'

-Does it have a large head, do you imagine?

-Yes.

And what else can you feel? Fur or scales?

-Perhaps feathers?

-Hair.

-Hair of some sort?

-Yeah, and a big head. Biggish head.

Breathes a lot through its nose. That's why I'm thinking pig again.

Oh, wait a minute. It's bigger.

There are many animals that breathe through their noses, of course.

-DAD LAUGHS

-Very well, take Black Beauty away.

DAD LAUGHS

Well, Dad. I must press you. You said it had a big head.

What do you think it was?

-Horse.

-A horse, you say?

-Yes.

A horse does have a big head,

but so does a cow.

Hmm!

Bring on the next animal!

Animal number five.

No, he's not a traditional farmyard animal,

so Alan's bound to throw Dad off the scent.

Ah, here's a feisty fella.

-Ooh!

-That's quite a munch, isn't it?

Oh, my goodness me. It'll have your fingers off.

'Dad has been licked by four farmyard animals

'and only guessed two right.

'If he fails the next one, Team Daffo-Devil will lose the dare.'

-How does that feel, Dad?

-Strong.

-Strong.

-Narrow.

-Narrow face.

Come on, you mustn't bury your head in the sand, Dad.

See if you can guess this creature.

Oh, I've said too much.

If you get this right, "alpaca" suitcase

and take you on holiday myself.

Take him away.

Now, you've answered four and got two of them correct.

Remember, you need three correct answers to save the life.

What was this animal?

All I could think of was deer.

Deer? It was an alpaca.

-Wrong!

-What?!

You've only got two answers correct out of five

and that means you've failed the dare.

I think that dare was a bit too hard for Dad

because he ain't around animals that much so it was pretty tough.

Yeah, and the last animal, that was really hard to get.

I've never even heard of an alpaca.

Gutted I lost a life in that dare for the kids.

Feeling the animals actually felt quite nice,

but trying to get your head round what it was...

It's just almost impossible. I just couldn't think.

-Two lives left.

-Two brothers.

Go team Daffo-Devils!

They have two lives remaining

and the Doubloon still to play.

Now it's time for Glynn and Robert to show us what you're made of.

It is time to depart.

Glynn has been an excellent team leader so far,

encouraging Mum and Dad through their dares.

But will he and Robert be brave enough

to take on the Chambers of Bravery back at my castle?

-Come in, come in.

-PHONE RINGS

Welcome to my humble abode and my dungeon.

I... Pardon me.

Hello?

No, no. There is no Cruella here. You're welcome.

Well, Glynn and Robert,

it is in this place that you must face the final dare,

a dare I like to call Chambers of Bravery.

There is only one way out of the dungeon -

through the Golden Door, beyond which lies the prize.

But the door is locked

and the key is hidden inside one of my Chambers of Bravery.

There are five chambers and five keys,

but only one will unlock the door.

Glynn will not be able to see inside two of the chambers,

so watch out - they may not be all they seem.

Team Daffo-Devil, with only two lives intact,

have just two chances to work out the riddles and find the right key.

Now, time to see what's in today's Chambers of Bravery.

In chamber number one, the scorpion.

Chamber number two, the pitiless tarantula.

Tarantula?! Tarantula?!

What nonsense! That's just an old tarantula skin.

But don't worry - it shed its skin naturally last night.

In chamber three, the milk snakes.

In chamber number four, master of camouflage, the stick insect.

And in chamber number five, the grisly mealworms.

Glynn and Robert, how do you feel?

-Nervous.

-Nervous, and you?

-Determined.

-Well, do you still have the Dare Devil's doubloon?

-Yes.

Excellent. Remember, you can use that once, and only once,

to buy your way out of a terrifying chamber.

But remember - someone must take your place.

All right, ready to play?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Then let's play!

Glynn, Robert, here is your first clue.

"We hide in a silken mask."

"We hide in a silken mask."

What could it mean?

It's silk, isn't it? What colour... Silk?

Is it in silk?

-It has silk in there, does it?

-Yeah.

-Is that so?

-What about the tarantula?

-What about the tarantula?

Is there a silk connection there?

They hide in a silk...

A silken mask.

-I think it's the snakes.

-The snakes?

-Is that your best guess?

-Yes.

Well, you have one life left if this turns out to be wrong. Worth a go?

-Yes.

-All right.

Milk snakes is your answer.

Let's see if you are right. It's time to get that key.

Put your hand inside. Have a rummage.

-Go on, Glynn. You can do it.

-There we go.

-Don't be scared.

-They're not going to hurt you.

-Go on, put your hand in.

-That's it.

-It's not going to hurt you.

-Five fingers at the moment.

Don't be scared, but just find that key.

-Confidently move aside their bed.

-Under the head, under the head.

And remember - their teeth are in their head.

-That's it.

-Under the head.

-Don't listen to the Dare Devil.

-Come on, Glynn.

-He's trying to put you off.

-Have a rummage.

-Go on, Glynn.

Have a big look. The quicker you look, the quicker you will find it.

-There, there!

-A flash of gold. What can it be?

-A snake's tail, perhaps.

-Glynn, don't pull.

-That's it.

-We're all around, Bud.

-There we go! Glynn!

THEY CHEER

-Well done, Glynn. How do you feel?

-Brilliant.

-Do you think it is the right key for the Golden Door?

-Yes.

Well, there's only one way to find out. It's time to try the key!

The prize lies behind the Golden Door.

This is Glynn and Robert's first attempt. Could it be the one?

Yes!

THEY CHEER

Glynn, you got the right key!

We did it! We did it, Dad!

Tell me, what tipped you off

that the right key was in with the milk snakes?

I thought it was the milk snakes

because the mask was made out of silk.

Well, Team Daffo-Devil, it appals me to tell you that you have won

a daring day out to one of the UK's biggest theme parks.

-THEY CHEER

-Well done, mate.

Off you go.

Humans are a constant source of amusement. Don't you agree?

Oh, please yourself.

Now, it's time to find myself my next family

and make sure they lose, for this dungeon needs some cleaners.

So, fearless children and adults beware

For the Dare Devil awaits with a devilish dare!
