Team Gambo 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.

Revulsion, embarrassment and heart-pounding scares!

Wishes, wants and temptation beware

for the Dare Devil waits... with a devilish dare!

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

And who is this?

I'm Lauren, I'm 12 years old,

-I love gymnastics and swimming, but I hate spiders.

-How strange.

I'm Megan, I'm 13, Lauren's bezzie, and a Yorkshire athletics champion.

Astonishing.

I'm Olivia and I'm 11 and I'm Lauren's friend.

-The best thing is playing with our new puppies.

-How curious.

I'm Chris, I'm Lauren's Dad. I'm a trier, I'm up for most things.

I'm Jamie, Megan and Olivia's Dad. I used to be a gymnast

-and what I don't like most is swede and courgettes.

-They'll do nicely.

Time to pay them a visit.

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

-Who are you?

-Good question! Some call me Lord Choo Choo.

Others call me Mr Snooper,

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.

Lauren is the team captain, so she will decide who does each dare.

Dare Devil, Dare Devil, I dare.

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

and will lose a life for every dare you fail.

Lauren, Megan and Olivia 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.

-So are you interested?

-YES!

-Lauren, are you ready to lead?

-Yes!

-Excellent. You'll need this.

This is the Dare Devil's doubloon. It can be used once and only once

to buy you or a team-mate out of a dare,

but remember someone must always take their place.

-What would you like your team to be known as?

-Team Braveheart!

-So, Team Braveheart, are you ready for dastardly dare number one?

-YES!

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

It holds all the clues you need, but I should warn you, Lauren,

the devil is in the detail.

Prance and pirouette and present a pose,

this dare will keep you on your twinkle toes.

That sounds like a dance. Got to be dancing.

Pirouettes are in ballet, so...

-You like pink, Chris.

-Not really. I'm man enough to wear pink.

-It's not my favourite colour.

-I must hurry you. Lauren,

it's time for you to decide who will complete this first devilish dare.

-Dare Devil, Dare Devil, I dare Dad.

-Dad! Chris.

-How do you feel?

-No way, no way am I putting on

-a dance costume.

-Yes? A bold statement.

Right. It is time to depart.

Come on, come through.

Ah, here we are at the home of Northern Ballet.

I trained here myself in the 1800s. And this inspired my first dare.

A dare I like to call... It Takes Tutu.

-Well, Chris, good to see you are ready for action.

-Certainly am.

-Good at dancing, are we?

-So-so.

-So-so? Well, that will have to do.

You must learn a lovely dance routine and perform it

-in a theatre packed with people.

-No...no!

And it's the audience you must impress

for they will vote at the end of your glorious performance

to decide whether you pass or fail the dare.

This dance teacher...

and the girls will help you to create a dance to wow the crowd.

-But when it comes to the performance, you're on your own!

-OK.

So arms are going up and down. Over you, up.

Chris has just one hour to learn a 90-second routine

to the music of Swan Lake. Plenty of time to transform himself

-into a beautiful swan.

-Keep that leg straight as well.

-Or maybe not.

-The routine is very hard to remember

-and it's testing muscles I haven't used in years.

-Finish facing front.

And we run to the centre.

Right now I'm feeling totally petrified. I'm not ready at all.

I'm not fit enough, but I will do it to the best of my ability

so, yeah, bring it on.

'I'm nervous for Chris. We haven't had long at all to rehearse.'

But I'll be guiding him along, a few hand signals. Fingers crossed.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present a one-off,

one-of-a-kind performance of Swan Lake.

Please put your hands together and welcome the very brave,

almost balletic Chris!

MUSIC FROM "Swan Lake"

'At the beginning,

'I felt like backing out,'

but I knew the families were relying on me. And I just went for it.

Sitting down and seeing Chris come out on that stage was fantastic.

And the costume suited him quite nicely, actually.

There was a slight problem when he got ahead of the music,

so he filled it in, completely recovered like a professional.

I think it was embarrassing for him, but he secretly enjoyed it.

Remember, it is the audience who will decide if Chris will pass

or fail the dare. If they fail, they lose the life,

which will make winning the prize a whole lot harder.

CHEERING

The applause afterwards was absolutely marvellous.

I never thought in a thousand years that I'd end up dressed like this

performing ballet, but I've done it, I got through it.

That's all that counts.

Our audience are to decide the worth of this man's work.

If you thought it was wonderful, hold up a green card.

If you thought it was whiffy, hold up a red card. Ready?

Everybody vote now!

Well done. It's almost a complete sea of green.

That means Chris has won the minds and hearts of our crowd

and you've passed the dare!

But let's see how many lives you have left.

They have four lives remaining!

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

But what will it be, I hear you cry. Let's consult the Riddle Maker.

It holds the clues you need, but remember...

the devil is in the detail.

Upside down and round and round, first you see sky, then the ground.

-Sounds like a rollercoaster, that.

-And you're going to spill something.

-You could be eating and drinking.

-Upside down and round and round.

-Yeah...

-It's a rollercoaster.

-Yeah.

I must hurry you. Lauren, it is for you now to decide

which member of your team will undertake devilish dare number two.

Dare Devil, Dare Devil, I dare Jamie.

Jamie, you are the chosen one. How do you feel?

I'm looking forward to it. I like a challenge. We'll see what we can do.

Right, it is time to depart.

Come on, come on.

Here we are in what you humans call a theme park.

Apparently, being thrown around on gravity-defying thrill rides

is something you consider fun. How strange.

Anyway, this place inspired our next dare,

a dare I like to call Shake, Rattle and Rollercoaster!

-So, Jamie, are you a fan of adrenaline rides?

-I am, yes.

Excellent. Your dare is simple.

You must simply enjoy a nice ride on that rollercoaster there.

-Sounds easy, eh?

-Simple.

Yes, that's what I thought. So there's a twist - quite a few.

Doing dares is thirsty work,

so I'm going to give you this devil's pop.

To pass the dare, you must bring back enough pop to fill my glass.

-Sounds easy now?

-Maybe not so.

-A bit more of a challenge?

-Yeah, but we like a challenge.

-A challenge you shall have!

The toughest bit will be when my dad is upside down in the rollercoaster

because it's hard to keep all the pop inside the bottle.

I think my dad will do very well. He knows we all depend on him.

Here, Jamie. Here's your pop.

Doesn't look like there's enough in there. Allow me. Mmm.

Lovely and bubbly.

Enjoy the ride.

-Go, Jamie!

-Whoo!

-Here he goes.

-Go on, Jamie!

-They're charging him up.

-Hold tight, Jamie! Hold tight!

-It's scary!

-Come on, Jamie!

Good luck, Jamie. Remember, you need to retain enough of my pop

-to fill my glass.

-Keep hold of it!

Aargh!

The hardest part was the first part. As you drop, the lot comes out!

It looked like he was throwing up. It was pop coming out of the jug.

I was trying to keep it steady, but you're thrown left and right.

It's just really hard work.

If they lose the dare, they lose the life and winning will be harder.

-Go on, Jamie!

-There he goes!

Oh, my goodness! An enormous amount of sloshing!

-Whoo!

-Well done, Jamie! Well done!

I think he did well enough to complete the dare. We'll see.

You survived the rollercoaster run.

But have you brought back enough pop to pass the dare?

Let's see if it fills...

..this glass. Lauren, do the honours.

Oh, yes!

Well, by any reasonable standards I would call that a glassful.

That means, Team Braveheart, you have passed the dare!

But let's see how many lives you have left.

They have four lives remaining!

Well, you have completed your second dare

-and have all of your lives intact!

-Yes!

-Yes!

-Only one dare remains

for either Chris or Jamie. Let's consult the Riddle Maker!

It holds the clues you need, but the devil is in the detail!

This fairly fine feast of fab fishy fun

has tongue-twisting tastes to turn even tough tums.

- Sounds like eating something. - Yeah, an eating challenge.

-It could be eating fish.

-If it was just eating it,

-but you're always going to gag.

-It doesn't sound very nice.

It's eating something fishy.

All right, I must hurry you. Lauren, it falls to you to decide

which of the grown-ups will undertake our next dastardly dare.

Dare Devil, Dare Devil, I dare Jamie!

-Jamie, you have been chosen again. How do you feel?

-Terrible.

-Not looking forward to this, eh?

-No.

Much more suffering! Right, it is time to depart.

Ah, come along, come along. Well, the sea. I know a lot about the sea.

It's big, it's wet and has lots of fish in it,

such as the hairy batfish, the ten-toed tickling titter tatter

and a fish known simply as Steve.

It's this wet fishiness that's inspired our next dare.

A dare I like to call Fishy Feast!

Welcome to my banqueting hall. Jamie, I have prepared a fishy

three-course banquet. All I want you to do is enjoy it.

To pass the dare, you must eat a spoonful from each fishy dish.

Easy. I really think you'll find the combinations delicious.

I'm really not looking forward to this dare.

I know it'll be really disgusting and it's going to be vile.

This would be my worst nightmare. I'm a very fussy eater.

I don't know how my dad'll do it.

-Ready for your starter, Jamie?

-Not really, no.

Never mind. Here it comes. Bring in course number one.

Lauren, do the honours. Please reveal course number one.

Fishy cottage cheese, served in a crab shell.

To get to the meat, you'll have to lift off the lid, or back,

of the crab. Look at that. Looks like the crab's brain.

It doesn't look very nice at all.

Let's see how it tastes.

Come on, Jamie! Come on!

-In it goes.

-Get it down, Jamie.

His jaw is pumping. A little stress in the eyes.

-Is that pleasure or pain?

-Pain!

-Pain. Well done!

-He's swallowed the first course!

-Yay!

-Are you ready for the main course?

-I am.

-All right. Let's bring it in!

Ugh! It looks like an alien!

May I present for your delight jellied eels and fishy mushy peas

in the mouth of a monkfish.

I thought it was sick in its mouth. I didn't know how he'd eat it.

-What a handsome devil!

-I've never had jellied eels before.

-I'm looking forward to this one.

-An annoyingly positive attitude!

Try to get a nice bit of eel on there.

Eel in jelly.

Rather smelly.

-There we go.

-Go, Jamie!

-Go, Jamie!

-How's that for you, Jamie?

-Come on, Dad!

He seems semi-ruffled.

The tempting presence of defeat?

Oh, my golly. This man is being tested to the limit. Munching...

Empty mouth! Jamie has completed

the second course!

There was one point where I thought I was going to spit it out,

-but I managed it.

-Ready for dessert?

-Sounds good.

Excellent. Let's bring in course number three.

Mmm! May I present cockles cheesecake,

pickled herring chocolate banana and the piece de resistance -

fish-eye custard!

Mmmm!

Go on, Jamie. This is easy.

In goes the cockles cheesecake.

'Jamie still needs to swallow a mouthful of all three desserts

'to pass the dare. If they lose the dare, they lose the life

'which makes winning the prize a whole lot tougher.'

Just a bit of cockle. All gone!

Well done! Now let's move on to the pickled herring

with chocolate and banana. Remember not to eat the toothpick.

-That's it.

-Come on, Jamie.

-A lovely blend of fruit and fish.

-Tasty?

-Come on, Jamie.

Not tasty. Oh.

-Come on, Jamie.

-That's it. I want to see that empty mouth.

-There. Was that a nice combination?

-That was disgusting. Disgusting.

All right. Ready for the very final part of our meal?

The chef's speciality. Fish-eye custard.

Make sure you get a nice one there. Good job. In it goes.

Into the mighty Jamie's mouth. You can tell the freshness of a fish

by the clearness of its eyes.

The worst part was when my dad swallowed the fish eye.

These eyes are lovely and fresh.

Looking at us from out of that custard. Jamie has done it!

Well done, Jamie! I never thought you'd achieve that.

Team Braveheart, that means you've passed the dare!

Let's see how many lives you have left.

They have 4 lives remaining and the doubloon still to play!

Right, grown-ups, you have completed all your dares

and kept all of your lives intact. Well done. Now it's time

for Lauren, Megan and Olivia!

It is time to depart.

Lauren has been an excellent team leader so far,

choosing the right team member for each dare,

but do the girls have what it takes to conquer the Chambers of Bravery

in my castle?

Come in. Welcome to my dungeon.

This is home to some of my fondest memories.

And it's here, Lauren, that you, Megan and Olivia will 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. They won't be able to see inside two chambers,

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

'With four lives intact, they have four chances to solve the riddles

'and find the right key.'

It's time to see what lies inside

today's Chambers of Bravery!

In chamber number one, the cockroaches!

Chamber number two - the poisonous jellyfish!

They're not really jellyfish! It's the Dare Devil's dirty old socks!

In chamber three - the mighty python!

In chamber four - a plague of locusts!

And in chamber number five - the spotted leopard gecko!

-Lauren, how do you feel?

-Really nervous. I hate creepy crawlies.

Not a good day for you, then.

-Do you still have the doubloon?

-Yes.

-Remember, you can use that once,

but only once, to buy you out of one of these yucky chambers.

-But somebody must take your place. Ready to play?

-Yep.

Then let's play!

Lauren, here is your first clue.

-We can go with rock, carpet or diamond.

-Rock, carpet or diamond.

What could it mean?

The cockroaches or the geckos usually go through rocks or carpets.

But so do snakes. They live on rocks.

Come on, think hard.

-I think cockroaches.

-I think so.

-Is that your answer, Lauren?

-Yep.

-We'll see if you're correct.

It's time to get that key!

-Come on, Lauren.

-Just don't think too much about it.

-Go for where you think it is.

-Think it might be in there?

Is it under the skull? No.

Just more cockroaches.

-Oh, I've got an idea. Use that to scrape them away.

-Do it!

-She's going to use the skull as a tool.

-There's none in there.

-Oh, it's there! It's there!

-Get it, get it, get it!

-Just pick it up! Pick it up!

-Well done, Lauren!

You've got the key! Now it's time to try the key!

'The prize lies behind the Golden Door.

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

No, I don't think it's this one.

-Oh, well.

-Aw, Lauren.

You got the wrong key. Never mind.

All right, Lauren, here is your second clue.

-We like a good squeeze.

-We like a good squeeze.

-What could that mean?

-We haven't got the cockroaches.

-It won't be the jellyfish...

-I think it might be the snake.

-But it could be the locusts.

-Shall we go with the snake?

-Final answer?

-Yep.

-Very well. Let's see if you're right.

It's time to get that key!

-Just, like, push.

-The python is a constrictor.

He likes to wrap around his prey and squish 'em!

All right, Megan, roll your sleeve up and get in the chamber.

-I think it'll be in there.

-Well done!

-There we go.

-Have a good look.

-It's not...

-It's there. She's got it.

Well done, Megan! You've got the key!

-But is it the right one?

-I feel very confident.

-Do you?

We'll see if it's well placed. It's time to try the key!

'This is their second attempt.'

-Please be the right one.

-'If not, they only have two lives left.'

-CHEERING

-Well done! You got the right key!

All right, grown-ups. Come and join them.

Well, Team Braveheart, you have won

a daring day out at one of the UK's biggest theme parks!

-Yes!

-Tell me, Lauren, what was your favourite part?

-When my dad dressed up in a ballet outfit and danced.

-Quite the vision!

Very well. Off you go!

No, I will not take responsibility for it, you fleshless fool!

They passed and it was your fault.

Time to find our next victims, but who will they be?

Well, fearless children and adults, beware!

For the Dare Devil waits with a devilish dare!
