Team Quirky 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.

Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

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

And who is this?

I'm Olivia, I'm 13, I love all sports

and my hidden talent is that I can touch my nose with my tongue.

How unexpected.

I'm Tia, I'm 11, and I'm Olivia's best mate

and I love singing, dancing and acting.

How curious.

I'm Karen, I'm Olivia's mum. I'm fun,

I'm always on the go, never, ever sitting down.

I'm Colin, I'm Olivia's uncle. I like my football, I'm quite sporty,

and I'm a bit of a good dancer on the sly.

Oh, dear.

I'm Ann-Marie, I'm Tia's mum. I enjoy doing yoga.

I'm definitely a fun-loving person.

Yes, they'll do nicely. Time to pay them a visit.

THEY YELP

Good day, lovely family of Widnes. I've been watching you.

-Who are you?

-Good question.

Some call me Lord Herringbone, others prefer to call me Mr Grassy,

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.

Olivia and Tia are the team captains,

so they will decide who does each dare.

BOTH: Dare Devil, Dare Devil, we dare...

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

and will lose a life for every dare you fail.

Olivia and Tia 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 will have

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

-So, Tia and Olivia, are you interested?

-BOTH: Yeah!

-And are you ready to lead this team?

-BOTH: Yeah!

Excellent! Then you will 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.

So, what would you like your team to be known as?

ALL: Team Quirky!

So, Team Quirky, are you ready for devilish dare number one?

-ALL: Yeah!

-But what will it hold?

Time to consult the Riddle Maker.

It holds all the clues you need.

But remember, the devil is in the detail!

This sneaky dare Is simply horseplay

Be light on your feet But don't float away...

-Do you think it could be a horse?

-No, it's not going to be a horse.

I think it's just using horses to trick us.

I think it's swimming.

-"But don't float away."

-"But don't float away."

-It's got to be in water.

-Yeah.

Team captains, Tia and Olivia, it is time for you to decide

which of your team members will complete the first devilish dare.

Dare Devil, Dare Devil, we dare...

Uncle Colin.

-Yes!

-Uncle Colin. How do you feel?

You are the chosen one.

-Excited.

-Excited?

-I'm ready.

It certainly is written all over your face(!)

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

Ah-ha. Here we are in Chester.

Home of Chester Chesterton's Best Chest o' Chest Hair Championships,

and Chester Racecourse.

And it's this horsy heritage that has inspired our first dare -

a dare I like to call Balloonatics.

Well, as you'll notice, Colin, you're dressed for the races,

with your three horses there. How do you feel?

Humiliated, yeah.

-Like a little boy?

-Yes, yes.

-Ahh...

Your dare is simple, you must release your horses

by stealthily attaching each one

to an unsuspecting member of the public...

without getting caught!

-But if you are caught, you must take your horse back and start again.

-OK.

You will have only three minutes to attach all three horses,

-or you lose the life.

-OK.

-Feeling brave?

-I'm confident.

I can do this. It's tricky, it's embarrassing, but I can do it, yeah.

All right, Colin, giddy-up.

Your dare and your time starts now.

-ALL:

-Go, Colin, go!

My tactics were to try and find a loose hood, a bag maybe,

something like that, just to try and get a balloon unattached from me

-and attached to someone else.

-Where is he? There he is.

-Right.

The woman with the brown coat on, right in front of you.

I thought I'd seen enough of the handbag hanging there

that I could attach the balloon.

But she's seen me.

And I didn't attach it.

THE OTHERS LAUGH

50 seconds have gone now, he needs to raise his game

if he's going to get rid of those three horses.

The dog leads, the dog.

'We were trying to give him instructions,'

but I don't think he was listening

cos he was more concentrated on untangling the balloon, really.

It's very hard not to laugh, isn't it? To laugh at poor Colin.

There's a girl, come on, put it on her bag.

That's already one and a half minutes gone

and he hasn't got rid of a single horse.

Remember, if they lose the dare, they lose the life,

which will make a winning the prize a whole lot harder.

-Come on, Uncle Colin, you're going to fail.

-Hurry up!

Time is running out.

Uncle Colin's finally clipped one on, but he's in such a mess,

he can't actually release it.

There's only a few seconds left

and he hasn't got rid of any of the horses.

Five, four, three...

two, one.

Oh, dear. That is three minutes,

he hasn't got rid of any of the horses.

What a shame(!)

Colin has failed the dare, but let's see how many lives you have left.

They have three lives remaining!

All right, Team Quirky, time for our second dastardly dare.

"But what will it be?" I hear you cry.

Let us consult...the Riddle Maker!

It holds all the clues you need, but remember,

the devil is in the detail!

You may have bitten off More than you can chew

You'll be fine if they don't Take a bite out of you...

I think it might be a fish, because you can bite into a fish.

-But it says, "Wet pants."

-I think it's got to be with water.

-Got to be with water, something wet.

-Maybe sharks. Biting off.

All right, team captains, I must hurry you.

It's time to decide which team member

will complete dastardly dare number two.

BOTH: Dare Devil, Dare Devil, we dare...

-Karen.

-Karen.

-How do you feel?

-I'm not ready.

But ready you must be, Karen,

for your team captains have selected you. It is time to depart.

Ah-ha, my fishy friends, my precious pets.

Not eaten any humans recently, I hope?

You know how much trouble I got into last time that happened.

So many annoying forms to fill out.

Anyway, we're here for a dare I like to call...

Jaws And Drawers.

So, Karen, are you a fan of the shark,

Latin name, "Swimmus chompus"?

-No!

-No? Oh, dear(!)

For your challenge is to dive into that tank

and have a lovely swim with my shark friends.

One more thing, I was doing my washing in the shark tank,

and. unfortunately, I dropped several pairs

of my Dare Devil's pants into the shark tank.

So your challenge, Karen,

is to dive down there and find and bring back all of my pants!

What do you think?

-With the sharks?

-With the sharks.

Oh...

-I think Karen's really nervous about it.

-Cos she's not into sharks.

I think that Karen should be more scared

of The Dare Devil's dirty pants rather than the sharks.

Eurgh, disgusting!

All right, Karen, are you ready for your encounter

with one of the most feared creatures on Earth?

-No!

-Never mind.

Remember, you must come back with all my pants to pass the dare.

Before I got into the water, I was really nervous.

Kept panicking, I didn't think I was going to be able to go ahead

with the task, to be honest.

Oh, well. If she doesn't make it back,

save me a fortune in fish food.

There she is. She looks so nervous.

She does, but she'll be all right in a minute.

At first, I was more worried about the fish and the sharks,

and then I just completely forgot about them

and I was starting to panic about my breathing.

There are five pairs of my pants in the tank,

Karen must collect them all or Team Quirky will lose the life.

-Mum, there's some there.

-Right there. Come on, grab them.

Come on, Karen!

-Yay!

-Come on!

Yes, she got one!

That's one pair of pants down, four to find.

There!

-Right there!

-Come on, Karen!

-How many pairs of pants has she got so far?

-Two.

-Two out of five.

Watch the fish behind you.

That's the third pair of pants successfully retrieved,

which leaves only two more to find.

Remember, if they lose the dare, they lose the life,

which will make winning the prize a whole lot harder.

Yes, come on! Yes!

Well done, Karen. Four so far. We need one more of these.

There was one point when there was a shark above my head.

I just wanted to get out at that point,

but I told myself to just go for it.

Hmm?

Oh, no, they suit you.

Let's see if she can get the final pair of pants

before the sharks close in.

Come on, Karen, the last pair, the last pair, come on.

Yes! She's done it! She's done it! Yay!

Well, Team Quirky, she's collected the fifth pair of pants

and that means you have passed the dare.

CHEERING

Let's see how many lives you have left.

They have three lives remaining.

Well, Team Quirky, there's only Ann-Marie left to do a dare,

but what will it be?

Time to consult...the Riddle Maker.

Remember, the devil is in the detail!

In this foul dare You'll have to dig deep

Up to your elbows In a stinking big heap...

-Ooh!

-It sounds like you might be in a farm or something.

I think it's animal poo.

I think I'm going to be putting my hands in something.

Right up to my elbows.

-That's a double do, so do-do, that means animal poo.

-Great(!)

-I hope it is.

-Really looking forward to it(!)

All right, team captains, I must hurry you. You know what to do.

Dare Devil, Dare Devil, we dare Ann-Marie.

Ann-Marie, we knew it would be you.

-How do you feel?

-Great(!)

Right, it is time to depart.

Aha! More non-human beings!

Oh, to be an elephant. All they do is talk about how big they are,

play music on their trunks

and poo a lot!

And it's these giant pooing machines that have inspired my next dare,

a dare I like to call...

Mucky Dip!

Mmm, what a lovely aroma!

Eee...

STIFLED LAUGHTER

I was feeding the elephants the other day, and Edna over there...

EDNA TRUMPETS

Yes, you.

..swallowed my glove, my watch and my ring.

Your job is to retrieve them.

The zookeepers have kindly collected all the poo produced by Edna today,

and all you need do to pass this dare is to find my three belongings.

-Lovely.

-I will be timing you, and there's only one number

that could be on the clock for this dare - number two!

So that's two minutes to find all three things and complete the dare.

Mmm!

The thing I'm dreading the most is actually putting my hands in it.

It stinks and it's going to make me sick.

All right, Ann-Marie. Time to get your paws in the poo.

-Come on!

-Your dung dare starts now!

-Go!

-Go!

Get your hands in!

'When you first went in, it was all right, it was quite hard'

but then when it broke up, it was all soggy and disgusting.

'To make this dare even more devilish,

'there are four wheelbarrows of poo but only three objects to find

'and Ann-Marie doesn't know which wheelbarrows they're hidden in.'

I think Ann-Marie is really glamorous, isn't she?

-And it's strange to see her rifle around all the poo, isn't it?

-Yeah.

That's 45 seconds gone.

You're going to have to speed up if you want to beat the two minutes.

Go, Ann-Marie!

She's found the glove!

Well done!

Two more items to go. Come on, move on! Move on!

'That's already half her time gone

'and she's only found one of the three objects.'

You're doing really well. Come on, next one!

Your family are telling you to move on to barrow three.

Are you going to listen to them? Come on.

'Remember, if they lose the dare, they lose the life,

'which will make winning the prize a whole lot harder.'

-Ann-Marie, you've got to squash into them!

-Come on, Ann-Marie!

The ring is right under Ann-Marie's nose but will she sniff it out?

Put your hands in it!

-Go on, Ann-Marie!

-Hurry up!

-You're doing really well!

Oh, she's found the ring!

Well done! Now, come on, Ann-Marie.

We're well into the second minute

and you still haven't found the watch.

Look on the other side, come on!

Time is running out.

Ann-Marie must get stuck into that poo, and fast.

Oh, my goodness me, that's one minute 28!

She's found the third item

-and that means Team Quirky has completed the dare.

-Yeah!

Who wants a hug?

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

They have three lives remaining!

Now it's time for Olivia and Tia to step up to the challenge.

Now, come on, team, there's no time to lose.

Olivia and Tia have been excellent team leaders so far,

assisting and encouraging their team in each dare,

but do they have what it takes

to conquer the Chambers of Bravery in my castle?

Come in, come in! Welcome to my home and to my dungeon.

Olivia and Tia, it is here 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 the Chambers of Bravery.

There are five chambers and five keys

but only one will unlock the door.

Olivia and Tia won't be able to see inside two of the chambers,

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

Team Quirky, with three lives intact,

have three chances to solve the riddles and find the right key.

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

In chamber number one,

the giant snails!

In chamber two,

the prickly stick insect!

In chamber number three,

a plague of locusts!

In chamber four,

the fearsome tarantula!

Tarantula? Tarantula? What nonsense!

That's just an old tarantula skin, and the brush I swept it up with.

And in chamber five,

the bearded dragon!

-Oh!

-Tia and Olivia, how do you feel?

I feel really nervous about the tarantula.

Do you? And what about you, Tia?

-I'm excited.

-Are you?

Looking forward to getting in amongst it, are you?

Do you still have the Dare Devil's Doubloon?

-Yeah.

-Well, that's good.

If your nerve fails you, you can use it once and only once

to buy your way out of one of these squirmy chambers.

But remember, someone must take your place.

All right, ready to play?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Then let's play!

All right, Tia and Olivia, here is your first clue.

"We swallowed an ant."

"We swallowed an ant." What creature could that be?

I think it's, like, an insect.

Maybe the locusts.

Well, we know it can't be giant snails, because...

-They wouldn't eat ants.

-Think about it, girls.

All right, girls. I must press you for an answer. Which is it?

-The locusts.

-All right, let's see if it is the locusts.

It's time to get that key!

-Oh!

-Just stick your hand in slow.

-Come on.

-I can't!

-There they are, the fearsome locusts.

-Do it, do it.

-I can't.

-Just put it in.

-They travel in large numbers.

Come on, Olivia, you can do it. I had to put my hand in poo. Come on.

You want a glove on. I can see it. It's in that one, I think.

-It's fine, they won't hurt you.

-Wait till it's walked away.

SHE SHRIEKS

Grasp the key.

Well done, Olivia!

-You've got the key from the locusts!

-Yes!

-We've got it!

-Yes!

It's time to try that key!

'The prize lies behind the Golden Door.

Come on, I'll have a go too.

'Could they be lucky enough to get the right key first time around?'

-It's not the right one.

-I tried so hard!

Oh, dear. You've got the wrong key. Never mind.

All right, Olivia and Tia, here is your second clue.

"Some of my cousins would eat snakes for breakfast."

"Some of my cousins would eat snakes for breakfast."

-"Some of my cousins..."

-What creature would eat snakes for breakfast?

I think it's the tarantula.

Or that.

It could be a little snake!

Because we might be thinking of big snakes,

-but it could be a little baby snake.

-Oh, yeah.

All right, what is your answer?

-Yeah, go on.

-The bearded dragon.

The bearded dragon. We'll see if you're right.

It's time to get that key!

-I can see it.

-Where?

-Oh, I can see it.

-It's looking at me! It's giving me the evil eyes!

A glint of treasure.

-Tia, just go in slowly and bit by bit.

-No, don't push me.

Will you get its attention around the other side?

-You can do this, Tia.

-I wish it didn't have eyes.

That's a very unkind wish.

A blind bearded dragon? What kind of life is that?

THEY LAUGH

If this is too fearsome, you can use your Doubloon.

-We can't use the Doubloon.

-Time is of the essence.

-Tia, hurry up!

There you go. In goes your hand.

-Go on.

-Well done.

There we go!

Tia! You've conquered your fear

and you've got the key from the bearded dragon's maniacal clutches.

But is it the right key?

-It's time to try the key!

-Come on.

-Come on, we can do it. Come on, Tia, you can do it.

-It's turning!

-Yes!

-Look, it's turning!

-'This is their second attempt.'

-Please!

-Wait! Wait! It just turned, look.

'If this isn't the right key, they only have one life left.'

-Oh!

-Girls, you got the wrong key again!

Never mind, you still have one life left and the Doubloon.

All right, time for your third and final clue.

"We can regrow lost legs."

Which creature does that apply to?

It's definitely not the snail cos they don't have legs.

A tarantula can't regrow a lost leg,

so I think it's a stick insect

but I just think it's a small chance of being the tarantula too.

-You need to be sure cos this is your last chance.

-Think about it.

Think about it, think hard.

-It's definitely the stick insect.

-Yeah, it must be.

All right, you seem firm in your minds. Is that your final answer?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Well, let's see if you're right.

It's time to get that key!

It's a stick insect and it'll be scared of you,

so when you stick your hand in, they'll just pretend to be a stick.

I don't know if I can do it.

Go on, Olivia, you can't see them. Go for it.

I'm going to remind you for the final time, you have the Doubloon

and one member of your team can take your place.

I want to use the Doubloon.

-Are you sure?

-I'm sure.

-Very well.

Dare Devil, Dare Devil, I dare...

Uncle Colin.

Colin, you've been Doublooned.

Time to get your hands dirty.

Off you go.

-Come on, Uncle! You can do it!

-Go on, Colin.

-Don't look, OK?

-Just stick your hand right in.

-Go on, Col!

-You can do it.

Remember, Colin cannot see inside the chamber.

They're only stick insects.

-Has he got it?

-He's got a leaf!

He's triumphed and caught himself a leaf. Well done, big-game hunter(!)

Go on, Colin!

-Come on, you already failed one.

-You don't want to fail again.

There we go, I love to see a grown man flinch.

-Yes, you can do it!

-Go on, Colin.

-You can do it.

-Have you got it?

-Have you got it?

-I think so.

-Yes!

-Yes! Well done, Colin.

You've rescued the key from the stick insects' lair,

but is it the right key?

-Yeah!

-Yeah.

-Let's see. It's time to try that key!

-Uh-oh.

-'The pressure is building.

'This is Olivia and Tia's last chance to claim the prize

'but will this be the right key?'

-Go on.

-Let's have a go.

Look, it's...

Oh, girls! You've got the wrong key again!

And you've run out of lives. What a shame(!)

Commiserations, Team Quirky. Come and join them.

Ah, well, you nearly had it.

The real key was with the tarantula.

Aw, we...

Our clues were just too fiendish for you

but let's take a look and de-riddle those clues now.

The word "ant" can clearly be seen in the word "tarantula".

This is true. Tarantulas do eat snakes.

True again. They can moult skin and gradually regrow a lost leg.

The good news is that you can stay with me and help clean my dungeon.

Take a brush, take a cloth.

You work for me now.

I love it when a team fails,

but I still need more cleaners for my dungeon.

So, fearless children and adults beware

For the Dare Devil waits with a devilish dare!
