Team X-Tractor 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.

Do not try this at home.

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 the wishes, wants

And temptation beware

For the Dare Devil waits

With a devilish dare.

HE LAUGHS MANICALLY

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

And who is this?

I'm Laura. I'm 13. I live on a farm.

I love all animals except spiders.

How peculiar.

I'm Hannah. I'm 11 and I'm Laura's sister.

I love baking, but I absolutely hate feet.

What a bewildering being.

I'm Paul. I'm the father of this family.

I spend a lot of time outdoors with the farming that I do.

I'm not too bothered about being embarrassed.

Yes, I'm beginning to like this lot.

I'm Louie. I'm Laura and Hannah's auntie. I'm Hannah's fairy godmother.

I'm a bit sporty and very competitive.

I'm Ollie. I'm Laura and Hannah's big brother.

I'm studying A-levels in school which I don't really like.

But I'm a massive football fan.

Yes. They'll do nicely.

Time to pay them a visit.

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

-Who are you?

-Good question.

Some call me Lord Focus.

Others prefer to call me Mr Winter.

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 will be given four lives to complete my devilish dares.

'Laura and Hannah are the team captains

'so they will decide who does each dare.'

Dare Devil, Dare Devil, we dare...

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

'but lose a life for every dare you fail.

'Laura and Hannah will need every life they can get

'when we 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, Hannah and Laura,

-are you interested?

-Yes.

-And you ready to lead this team?

-Yes.

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 X-Tractor!

So, Team X-Tractor, are you ready for the first devilish dare?

ALL: Yes!

Excellent. But what could it hold? Let us consult the Riddle Maker.

It holds all the clues you need.

But remember, the devil is in the detail.

Have a close encounter face-to-face

With aliens in your inner space

-Aliens in your inner space.

-Might be a coffin or something...

-Except it talks about space.

-..where they let bugs in or something.

Well, I must hurry you.

Team captains, it is time for you to decide

which member of your team will complete the first dastardly dare.

-Dare Devil, Dare Devil, we dare Louie.

-Louie!

-Oh, no.

You have been chosen.

-How do you feel about the challenge to come?

-Absolutely terrified.

-Terrified?

-Yeah.

-Oh, good. Right.

It is time for us to depart for this devilish dare.

Ah, ha! Here we are in the future,

a time when humans have given up on the Earth

and now live only in space.

It is this futuristic universe that has inspired our next dare,

a dare I like to call Inner Space Invaders.

Well, Louie, I see you're dressed appropriately for the future.

I am absolutely terrified, but yeah.

There is one item of your outfit that seems to be missing, though.

-What could that be, I wonder?

-The helmet. The space helmet.

The space helmet.

I have five space helmets for you to try on one by one.

Inside each helmet, there will be a cosmic question.

With the help of your team-mates, you must try to answer it.

You need three out of five correct answers

to save the life. Sounds easy, eh?

-Hopefully, with their help, yes.

-Hmmm. I forgot to mention a thing.

-You'll be sharing the helmet with some of my alien friends.

-Oh, no.

Don't worry, Louie. They won't bite. Much.

I haven't got a clue what's going to be in the helmet,

but I'm really terrified of worms and spiders

so hopefully none of them.

Here we are. These are your new friends, Louie.

-That's enormous.

-It's quite a large snail, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-Here you are, Louie.

-OK.

-Go on, Louie.

-Why don't you get comfy with the creatures?

-You can do it.

Come on, Buzz Lightyear.

-Right.

-There we are.

-OK.

-Can you see the question in the helmet?

-Yes.

Which two planets are in this anagram?

-You can discuss it together.

-Jupiter.

-Yes, Jupiter.

-I think Mars.

-Jupiter and Mars.

-Jupiter and Mars.

OK. Jupiter and Mars.

Jupiter and Mars is the correct answer. Well done.

-Reluctantly, you must say goodbye to the animal party.

-Thank you.

-Well done.

-That's one of them!

-Oh, no.

-You dreaded them.

-Quite crowded...

-Grasshoppers.

-..with locusts. Here you go.

-Go on, Louie.

-Are they going to jump?

-What's that question? Quick.

-There we go.

-Can astronauts burp in space?

-Can they burp in space?

I think they can. They can burp in the helmets.

Yeah, but you might not be able to...

'Remember, they still need two more correct answers

'or they'll fail the dare and lose the life.

'Lose the life, and winning the prize just got a lot tougher.'

-I don't know.

-We'll have to make a guess quick.

-Quick. For Louie's sake.

-I don't know. Just pick.

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Yeah.

I'm afraid the answer is no.

You see, there's no gravity in space

and without gravity, the liquids and gases won't separate

in the astronaut's stomach like they do on Earth.

So, I'm afraid you failed that question.

That was all for nothing, Louie.

-Mmmmm. Cockroaches.

-Oh, Louie!

-Aren't they handsome in their long, black coats?

-No.

-In you go.

-Come on, Louie.

-Go on.

-Get in there. Get in there.

-Face first.

-Go on. You can do it.

-There he goes.

-All right. You're in.

Astronauts get taller when they are in space. True or false.

I think that's true. That is true cos they stretch.

You'll stretch, won't you? I think. I hope.

-True.

-True.

True is the correct answer.

The vertebrae in their back bones are not being pushed together

-by gravity. Well done.

-Thank you.

-Well done, Louie.

Two correct so far. You only need one more to complete the dare.

-Just what you didn't want!

-He's wonderfully hairy.

I knew there'd be spiders, but I didn't think there would be

a tarantula in there, so that was dead scary.

-PAUL LAUGHS

-No, it's not funny.

-It's horrible.

-A delicious, enormous, hairy spider.

I wanted to back out. I got goose pimples on my hands and body.

-I think I started shaking at that point.

-There you go, Louie. Go on.

-Go on.

-There we go.

-We'll get this one.

-In she goes.

'I was terrified of putting my head in'

and then it moved.

Read the question.

Which... Which planet is named after the Roman goddess of love?

Which planet is named after the Roman goddess of love, team?

'I was absolutely terrified.'

I just wanted them to hurry up and answer the question

and get my head out of there.

-Do you know it?

-It's Venus, isn't it?

Don't take too long.

-It's Venus.

-Venus, you say.

-Venus is the correct answer. Well done.

-Well done, Louie.

You have got three answers correct, Louie.

You have successfully completed the dare.

-Well done.

-Well done.

-Let's see how many lives you have left.

They have four lives remaining.

Ah, here we are back in the present. How dull.

Well, it is time to depart for our second dastardly dare.

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

Time to consult the Riddle Maker.

It holds all the clues you need.

But remember, the devil is in the detail.

It's high time

For another smashing dare

You need to know the ropes

For this lofty affair

-Right. What do you think? High.

-Well, it's falls as well.

So climbing up high.

But it's something about cracks so it might be not cracking eggs.

All right. Team captains, I must hurry you.

It is time for you to decide which of your team members

will undertake dastardly dare number two.

Dare Devil, Dare Devil, we dare Ollie.

Ollie! Well, you are the chosen one. How do you feel?

-A bit scared.

-Are you?

Well, we'll see. Now, come on. There is no time to lose.

Here we are at my very own monkey gym.

My pet monkeys can't get enough of this place.

Millie, Gertrude, Barnabas.

Anyway, we're heading up there for a dare I like to call Egg Scramble.

Well, Ollie.

You'll notice we're precisely 13 metres above the ground.

-How do you feel?

-I'm quite excited.

-Not troubled with the images of hurtling towards the floor?

-No.

No? Good. Now, Ollie, if you look over there,

you'll see that I've rather carelessly left a load of eggs

on the highest platforms of this deliciously tricky-looking

obstacle course. All you must do is negotiate the course

and collect these eggs as you go around.

But you must return with 12 eggs intact to save the life.

-How does this challenge grab you, Ollie?

-I think I can do it, yeah.

Well, we'll see.

-Come on, Ol!

-Come on, Ollie.

-Come on, Ollie.

-You can do it!

-Get some of them eggs!

That's it. He's kneeling down to pick up the first egg.

Yay!

'It was really frustrating because as I went to bend down,'

the eggs were cracking in my pocket.

-Ah! Cracked in my pocket.

-Oh, no.

Come on, Ollie.

Come on.

-Just get every one.

-Put them in your back pocket.

Remember, Ollie must return with 12 eggs intact

or he will fail the dare.

-Go on.

-Here's the hard bit. Don't smash them eggs.

Wa-hey!

-Did they smash?

-I don't know.

-Well done.

-Come on.

-Keep going, Ollie.

-Go on, Ollie.

-Keep going.

-Come on.

Don't forget, Team X-Tractor are playing to save

as many lives as possible.

If they lose the dare, they lose the life,

which will make winning the prize a whole lot harder.

-Is that just one broken?

-Two.

-Ollie, just get the last ones.

Put them down the front pocket or something.

Come on, Ollie!

All that stands in his way now is a 13-metre drop.

CHEERING

Jumping off the platform was definitely the scariest part.

Three. Two. One. Go, go, go.

CHEERING

Well done.

You've done it, Ol!

Well, Ollie, you successfully made it round the course without falling.

But, remember, you had to keep 12 eggs intact to save the life.

There's one wholesome egg intact.

Two. A pair of red jewels glistening in the light.

Three! Four eggs.

That's five. Six.

Seven. Eight. Nine.

-Ten. Two more.

-Two more.

Has he got them in his breast pocket? Is there one more egg?

One more intact?

-CHEERING

-That's it!

Twelve eggs, Ollie. You have successfully completed the dare!

CHEERING

Let's see how many lives you have left.

They have... four lives remaining!

Right, Team X-Tractor,

there's only Dad left to do a dare.

But what will it be?

Time to consult the Riddle Maker!

It holds the clues you need,

but remember the devil is in the detail.

"This little test will mess up your head."

"You got to get clean but get dirty instead."

It sounds messy.

Taking a bath of some kind.

-Yeah, a bath.

-Or a shower.

And like stuff falls out.

Falls out, yeah.

It's not sounding good.

-ALL LAUGH

-I must hurry you now.

Team captains, you know what to do.

# Dare Devil, Dare Devil, we dare Dad! #

Dad! Of course it's you!

Right, there's no time to lose. It is time to depart.

Come on. Come on! Ah! Here we are in Liverpool.

It was the first place to introduce

public baths and free school dinners.

And it is these two wonderful firsts that have inspired our next dare.

A dare I like to call Rub-A-Dub Grub!

Dad, I see you're dressed ready for your afternoon wash.

Nice cap, by the way.

Your dare is simply to have a lovely soak in that bath.

But it's no fun getting clean, no, it's much more fun getting dirty.

I have prepared five buckets of my favourite school dinner combinations

for you to use to fill your bath.

Mmm! Beans and fish heads! But because this is a public bath,

you must convince five members of the public

to each pour one of these buckets on top of you.

You have three minutes in which to fill your bath.

Laura and Hannah will help you

convince the people of Liverpool to cover you in muck.

-Sounds good?

-No, it doesn't sound good at all.

Oh, he doesn't like the idea.

OK, Dad, it's time for you to get into your bath.

CHEERING

Your three minutes starts the moment you sit in the tub.

-Put your head here.

-OK.

First of the five buckets. Bucket Number 1.

Fish heads floating in icy cold baked beans!

-Go and find somebody.

-Pour this over me dad.

It'll just take two minutes.

Stand on the red carpet.

Go on.

Urgh!

ALL LAUGH

When the bucket first went over me

the cold hit me first and then the smell was just awful.

SCREAMING

Ohh!

-Not nice!

-Urgh!

Thanks.

Bucket Number Two.

Fragrant fruit cocktail garnished with ghastly gravy!

Quick!

Go easy! Go easy!

Ooh!

-Oh!

-HE GASPS

-It's freezing!

-They may be laughing now,

but they only have three minutes to do the dare.

If they lose the dare, they lose the life,

which will make winning the prize a whole lot harder.

Bucket Number Three. Grim gherkins and cold curdled custard!

Go easy! Go easy!

Go easy!

-ALL:

-Ohh!

BOTH LAUGH

Hmm! Seems like he's doing better than I expected.

-Quick!

-Come on, bring it on. I can do it.

Bucket Number Four.

Stomach-churning corned beef glazed with orange juice!

-Just anyone.

-They've got two buckets still to pour.

-And time is ticking away!

-Stand on the red carpet.

It does smell bad.

HE GROANS

HE GASPS

Ohh!

Dad's reaction was the best.

He just got shocked every time a bucket went over his head.

HE GASPS

It's so cold as well!

-How many more is there?

-Just the one, Dad.

Bucket Number Five. Mouldy mushy peas and gooey jam!

-Come on!

-It stinks!

-Just do it!

-Go on!

On top!

I think the mushy peas felt the worst

because it was slimy and disgusting and all over him.

-ALL:

-Ohh!

He'll be dreaming of this nightly for years to come!

-Ohh!

-Ohh!

BOTH LAUGH

-Well done, Dad.

-I hope I've passed.

-Did I pass? Have I passed?

-CHEERING

Thank you.

So you've impressed the crowds, Dad, but have you passed the dare?

Well, Dad, with the help of your loyal daughters,

five buckets were emptied over you in the bath.

But, remember, you had to do it in three minutes

to successfully complete the dare.

What do you think, team? Did he achieve his goal?

I think so.

The stopwatch says... 2'42"!

-Hey!

-You have successfully completed the dare!

Hey! Thank you, Liverpool!

-Well done.

-Let's see how many lives you have left.

They have four lives remaining and a doubloon still to play!

Right, now it's time for Hannah and Laura to step up to the challenge.

Laura and Hannah have been excellent team leaders so far,

choosing the right team member for each dare,

but do they have what it takes

to conquer the Chambers of Bravery in my castle?

Come in. Come in.

Ah!

It's good to be back.

Welcome to my home and to my dungeon.

Laura and Hannah, it is here

that you will complete the final devilish 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.

Five chambers and five keys,

but only one will unlock the door!

Two of the chambers are covered,

so Laura and Hannah won't be able to see inside.

Team X-Tractor with four lives intact

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

THUNDER CRASHES

Now it is time to see what lies in today's Chambers of Bravery!

Chamber Number One!

Mealworms!

Chamber Number Two!

The prickly hedgehog!

In Chamber Number Three!

It's the rats!

Chamber Number Four!

The ancient bearded dragon!

And in Chamber Number Five, the fearsome fire-bellied toads!

-So, Laura, are you feeling nervous?

-I'm feeling really nervous.

Is that so? And with good reason. What about you, Hannah?

-I'm feeling quite brave.

-Are you, indeed?

Well, perhaps we'll test your courage.

-Do you still have your Dare Devil's doubloon?

-Yeah.

Excellent. You can use that

to buy your way out of a particularly yucky chamber.

THUNDER

But, remember, someone must take your place.

All right, time to play!

Here is your first clue.

"To find us you must redo bad garden."

To find us you must redo bad garden!

If you had rats you'd have to redo your garden.

Yeah, or hedgehogs you find in the garden.

-Hedgehogs are diggers as well.

-Yeah, they go in your garden.

Hang on. B. B-EA-R. Yeah? It's an anagram of bearded dragon.

-Sure?

-Yeah.

-A fresh line of enquiry.

An anagram, you say?

-Good, Laura.

-Well, what is your final answer?

-Our answer's bearded dragon.

-All right, let's see if you're correct.

Go to the masked chamber and find your key!

-Come on, Laura. It's only a dragon.

-Put your hand in carefully.

We may need a bowl of water

to put your flaming hand out once he's breathed fire all over you.

-Be brave, Laura.

-Feel around.

-You can do it.

-'Remember, Laura cannot see inside the chamber.'

-Avoid his sharp spines and his million teeth.

-Look in the corners.

-His whipping tail.

-Look under stuff.

His mouth that bites.

-Can you feel it?

-Have you found it, Laura?

-Tickle his belly.

-Dig deeper.

-Perhaps he's sitting on it.

-I don't want to pick it up!

-Pick it up and move it.

Come on, Laura. Get that key.

-Is that it?

-Well, she's moved the dragon.

She's found the key!

-Well done!

-Well done, Laura. Let's hope it's the right one.

Only one way to find out. It's time to try your key!

-Let's hope that key works. Does it fit?

-Laura, come on.

The prize lies behind the golden door.

Could Laura and Hannah be lucky enough

to get the right key first time around?

-Come on.

-It's worked!

-It works!

-APPLAUSE

It pains me to say, you have won.

Team X-Tractor, quick! Hurry along!

Laura, what was your favourite moment?

When members of the public were throwing fish heads over Dad.

Of course. And you, Dad, was that also your favourite moment?

No, it wasn't. Pretty nasty, to be honest.

I can well imagine.

Well, it gives me no pleasure at all to tell you, Team X-Tractor,

that you have won a daring day out

at one of the UK's biggest theme parks.

CHEERING

Off you go!

I'm 100% blaming this one on you.

Don't give me that face! They have won and gone off with the prize!

I need cleaners for this dungeon and it's up to you to find them.

So fearless children and adults beware

for the Dare Devil waits with a devilish dare!
