Team Extreme 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?'

SHRIEKING AND SCREAMING

'I'm the Dare Devil,

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

SCREAMING AND CACKLING

# 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

Ah! What repulsive human family do we have today?

Cat! HE HISSES

Ah, there's the human. Anna, a girl.

Get away!

And what's worse than a girl?

Yes, a boy...

James!

What's this?

-WHISTLE BLOWS

-Hand ball!

I think you'll find it's "football", the dad.

And who else? Big brother Daniel.

Nice hair! NOT!

And you must be the mum.

SHE SCREAMS

She's either scared of snakes or dirty laundry.

Yes, they're perfect.

To Stafford.

SHE GASPS

Good day, lovely family of Staffordshire. Washing's dry.

Who are you?

Good question.

Some call me the Fishmonger, but you can call me The Dare Devil!

I'm here to despatch delightful dreams upon you! Huzzah!

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

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

I suppose you're wondering how it all works... Listen carefully.

There are three devilish dares and three golden doubloons to be won.

Anna and James will decide which grown-upling does which dare.

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

I will give them one doubloon to get them started.

Should somebody be too scared to carry out a dare,

then they can exchange it to buy their way out...

But someone must always take their place.

For every dare lost, Anna and James will have less time

when they return to my castle,

making it harder to open the door of destiny

that leads to the final prize.

So, Anna and James, are you in?

-Yes!

-Excellent.

I suppose you have a team name to make grown Dare Devils shudder.

What is it?

ALL: Team Extreme!

It's time for dare number one.

But what will it hold?

Let us consult the Scroll of Secrets!

This ancient scroll holds the clue as to what the first dare might be.

Anna, read it aloud - but remember, the devil is in the detail.

"Fooling around is the name of the game

"So be convincing to others and don't be ashamed."

"Fooling around is the name of the game

"So be convincing to others and don't be ashamed."

What could that mean?

I think it's something embarrassing, like...

Definitely. Something really silly!

So, Anna and James, it's time for you to decide

which member of your team will be brave enough to do this dare.

Dare Devil, Dare Devil, we dare Dad!

Dad, you are the chosen one for this dare of shame.

-How do you feel?

-Terrible!

All right, let's get cracking, come on!

Ah, Macclesfield. What a town!

Did you know the people of Macclesfield are notoriously polite

and well-mannered, and it's they who have inspired this challenge,

a challenge I like to call Mis-Direction.

Your dare, the dad, is to walk through this shopping mall

and convincingly spring ridiculous requests

on unsuspecting members of the public.

How does that sound? Embarrassing enough?

-Bring it on!

-Bring it on!

You don't wish to buy your way out of trouble with the Doubloon?

Not a chance.

Not a chance, he said. That's excellent.

And off you go.

The dad must complete three pranks

that Anna and James will tell him to do through his earpiece.

This is going to get pretty embarrassing for him!

All right. He's in position. Anna, you do the honours.

You must go up to someone and convince them

that this is your real pet and ask them to pet it on the head.

Aha!

OK.

He's moving with purpose now.

Excuse me, this is my real pet Basil.

Oh, hello, ladies.

No, don't be scared, he's really friendly, look.

He's listening, he's listening.

What's he saying?

Well, he's telling them that this is his real pet. They laughed.

And what he really likes is a stranger to pat him on the head.

Will you pat him on the head for me?

Yes!

Well, he's passed the task.

Anna, read out his instruction.

Dad, you've got to approach someone and convince them

that they are your long-lost best friend for 30 seconds.

OK.

30 seconds to convince someone they're his long-lost best friend.

Dad, try that lady over there!

Are you Amanda? Amanda?

Yeah! No, not really.

That's it, he's on the clock.

Didn't I meet you in, er... Where was it now?

I'm sure it was Zante in Greece?

Oh, yeah, living it up!

That's it. He's got her trapped in some pseudo reminiscences

She's agreeing!

Seems to remember him as well,

from their shared glorious past.

And your fella. I tell you. Thank you!

Good Lord, I think that was 30 seconds. He's passed the task!

Well done, give him a big cheer!

Look at that victory dance.

All right, it's time for our final prank. James, read it out.

"You must ask someone to hold your box for you

"while you make a phone call."

OK, thank you.

Inside the box is the dad's imaginary stick insect.

When the contents fall out, the dad must pretend to get upset!

Here he comes with the box, someone do him a favour.

Mate, can you hold my stick insect for me

whilst I just make a phone call?

Please, mate. I'm begging you, just hold the side, there.

Agh! Steven! Steven!

-He's crying!

-Where is he?

What a performer. Well, I think there's no question about it.

Team Extreme has won the dare.

Dad, we did it! We won the dare!

I think my dad did really well,

especially with his Steven the Stick Insect thing.

I feel quite relieved now,

I can sit back and watch the others do their thing.

Happy days.

They now have...

two doubloons!

Well, Team Extreme, it's time for our second devilish dare.

But what will it be? Let's consult the Scroll of Secrets.

This ancient scroll holds the clue.

James, read it out loud.

But remember, the devil is in the detail.

"On this dare you'll be made up to find

"A hair-raising treat that will leave your stomach behind."

Something with falling.

-Something high up.

-Yeah.

If it's going to leave your hair behind,

that's me OK, cos I haven't got any.

All right, Anna and James

who have you chosen for this next devilish dare?

Dare Devil, Dare Devil, we dare Dan!

Dan! What a wonderful name.

How do you feel? You're the chosen one.

Um, nervous!

A little bit nervous?

All right, we feel the need for speed,

so let's proceed to our next devilish dare.

Come on, we must depart!

Come on!

Well...

here we are, Team Extreme,

in a place that we Dare Devils like to call a theme park.

Don't worry, big brother Daniel, you're going to have a fine time

whizzing around on one of these lovely roller coasters.

To win the dare, you must correctly apply your make-up

to look like a nice, big, smiley clown

while travelling at speeds of in excess of 6,500 miles an hour.

Figures I have on no authority.

It's a dare I call Made Up Thrills.

Well, big brother Daniel, you look almost completely clownlike.

But we need the full monty, so to help you out,

you're going to ride in the company of Mr Smiley Bobs there.

He'll help you remember what a clown really looks like.

When you come back, we will compare your finished make-up

with Mr Smiley Bobs and see how you got on.

Now, will you take on this challenge?

Remember, you can always buy your way out of it.

-What do you say?

-I'll do it.

That's excellent! Then let's ride this thing.

Big brother Daniel is going to be spun upside down

whilst travelling at a speed of over 50mph.

Putting his clown make-up on is not going to be easy!

He mustn't start his clown make-up until the ride starts,

otherwise it'll be an automatic fail.

Here...we...go.

He's at the top!

Interesting.

Big brother Daniel has started with the green eye make-up.

At the halfway point,

big brother Dan hasn't even attempted the red nose and lips,

and the worst is yet to come...

Halfway? Oh, great.

Oh, my.

"Oh, my" indeed, big bro Dan.

At 30 metres up, it's a long way down.

He's started the red nose

but can he complete the clown make-up before the ride finishes?

Only time will tell.

Argh!

OK, you creepy pair, let's compare you feature by feature.

Mr Smiley Bobs has a big red smiley mouth, as he well should.

Dan's...broadly follows the shape of a smiley mouth. Well done.

Mr Smiley Bobs has a big red clown nose

and Dan's is also well covered in red.

Now we come to the green. Look at the artistry.

Three precise dots above the eyes and some delicate hatching,

look at the brushwork.

Oh, dear! What is that, big brother Daniel?

A green mess!

I love to be the bad guy,

and that's why it thrills me to tell you that you failed this dare.

I think he actually did really well,

because the roller coaster is so hard.

There was a few restraints with the harnesses trying to reach my face,

so then you find that you're just tapping your face away

and smudging everything that you've got on your face into your face.

Yes! They failed, and still only have...

two doubloons!

Team Extreme, it's time for devilish dare number three.

But what will it hold?

Let us consult, once again, the Scroll of Secrets.

Anna, you read it out -

but remember, the devil is in the detail.

"Hold your nerve and stay steady for your team

"Because what you see might make you scream."

"Hold your nerve and stay steady for your team

"Because what you see might make you scream."

What do you think it is?

What do you think?

-Well...

-What do you think?

-I've got no idea.

-Is it something like tightrope walking...

-Not a clue with this one.

..but with something in your hand,

and if you fall off you land in something?

All right, James and Anna, it's time for you to decide

who will do the very last dare before we return to my lair.

Dare Devil, Dare Devil, we dare Mum.

Mum! You are the chosen one,

despite some forebodings based on the details of the riddle.

How do you feel?

-Pretty terrified.

-Pretty terrified!

Right, we must depart.

Come on, family, get a wriggle on.

Excellent.

Here we are at generic medieval location number three,

where it is rumoured Henry VIII once carved a crude drawing of a ghost

into some oak panelling with this piece of gravel.

True? No.

But it is scary, and that's what's inspired our next dare,

a dare I like to call... The Scare Chair...

Dare.

All right, let's summon the chair!

It's...behind you.

Oh, no, it's... Oh, yes, it is.

Right, the mum, to pass this dare - remember, your final chance

to win a golden doubloon for your team -

you must hold this metal curved rod very, very still

so it does not touch the wire and emit the terrifying scream of chaos.

Aaah!

Sounds easy, eh?

But not when you're facing five terrifying scares!

To win the dare, the mum must hold her nerve

for three out of the five scares -

but some may not be what she thinks they are.

All right, let's position you in the chair

and get you ready for our first scare -

that is, if you wish to take on this dare.

Remember, you can, even at this last stage,

buy your way out of trouble by spending a golden doubloon.

What do you say?

-No chance.

-No chance!

-THEY CHEER

That's the Team Extreme spirit we've come to expect.

Let's bring on our first scare.

Let me ask you this, the mum... Are you afraid of insects?

No.

No? That's good to hear.

John, do the honours.

There we are.

IT HISSES

How do you feel about hissing cockroaches?

Aaah!

Well, that was caused by a laugh rather than a tremble of terror.

Nevertheless, I am sorry to say we did hear the terrible scream,

and that means you've failed the cockroach task.

Let's bring on our second scare.

He's not going to be on your hand this time.

John, lower it onto her head.

That's it, careful now. Careful now!

Care-Care... Careful. Careful now!

Oh, my goodness me! Tickle, tickle, tickle!

Oh, tickle, tickle, tickle!

Well, steady as a rock.

Let's lift off her blindfold and show her what it was.

-That's right, it was a head tickler!

-THEY CHEER

-I don't know if you sensed it...

-It's quite nice!

..or just had nerves of steel. Quite nice, again?

We're going to have to raise our game!

So, that's one fail and one pass.

Let's get ready for scare number three.

I'll reposition your blindfold and call in the gruesome John.

We've had creepies...

-here's a bit of a wriggly-slimy.

-Hmm?

Who's that licking your neck? Certainly not me!

Eeeh...!

I don't have a forked tongue.

What...?

What is that thing?

I don't know!

Let's take off the blindfold and see who your guest is.

-That's right.

-Oh, my gosh.

A great big old lizard trying to steal your watch.

-Wow.

-She's passed another scare!

Hold out your hand, Mum. Hold out your hand.

-Oh...

-That's it.

Make a nice, level platform.

That's it.

If the mum can pass this scare

then she will win her team the golden doubloon

-He's creepy, he's crawly...

-It's lovely.

-You're saying he's lovely...

-He's quite tingly.

Will you still say he's lovely when you take a look at him?!

Have a look, Mum!

It's a tarantula!

Yay!

-Well done!

-We cannot break this woman!

That means, Team Extreme, you have won this dare!

ALL: Yes!

I'm very proud, because she's normally scared of insects

and spiders, and stuff like that.

It's absolutely awful having to hold your hand out like that

in anticipation of something that might be...

That's it for the grown-ups.

Let's see how they've done!

The mum and the dad passed their dares.

But big brother Daniel let the side down with his clowning about.

It's now all down to Anna and James to face the Chambers of Bravery.

Yay!

All right, Anna and James,

let's see if you can convert your doubloons into a prize

in the final, final, final, final dare!

Come on, we must depart!

Welcome to my spooky dungeon.

You think it's scary now, you should have seen it a few years ago.

Pink wallpaper. What was I thinking?!

Anyway, Anna and James, the pressure falls on you

in this place as you confront our final dare -

a dare I like to call Chambers Of Bravery 2.0!

There is only one way out of my dungeon -

through the Door of Destiny, beyond which lies the prize.

But the door is locked

and will only open when it hears the correct devilish word.

Door of Destiny...

The word you seek is...

Anna and James must take on my three chambers of bravery

to find the clues that will help reveal the word to open the door.

Well, between you, you've managed to scrabble together

a very respectable three doubloons.

Hand them over.

These will buy you an extra 15 seconds each,

plus I'll give you one minute, and that makes a total of...

..one minute 45 seconds.

Not the maximum, but still an amount.

Now, if at any point you don't wish to do a dare

or it all gets a little bit too much,

you can get out of it by shouting, "Stop the dare!"

Then one of your team-mates can take your place,

although you will lose ten precious seconds from the clock.

Catch my drift?

-Yeah.

-Good! Then let's confront our first chamber.

Chamber numero uno.

It's the hands of horror.

The first scroll is hidden within my chamber full of fearsome creatures.

There's no time to waste, so you must remain brave.

What do you think lies underneath this cloth?

-Bugs or something.

-Bugs or something - and you, Anna?

-Something creepy.

-Something creepy, you might well be right.

Let's take a look.

Oh, my goodness!

See how they glisten in the light? It's a veritable pit of snakes!

Now, which of you brave souls is up to this first challenge?

-Me.

-James! Stout fellow!

Take your courage in hand, young man.

Your time starts in 3, 2, 1..

start the clock.

-Come on, James.

-Come on, James.

-You can do it!

They can't hurt you.

Shaking like mad!

-Can you see it?

-You might have to move a couple of objects,

or a couple of beings to locate that scroll.

-Anything underneath there?

-No.

All right, move along.

-There's... Can you see it?

-Where?

-There's a red ribbon underneath that...

-Yeah!

-..orange thing.

-The time's going...

-Dig your hand in now.

-Grasp the ribbon!

-You know they won't hurt you.

-Yeah, just grasp it.

-Grab the ribbon.

-Got it!

-THEY CHEER

Well done, James, you've got your first scroll!

James, how did you feel

as you plunged your hand into the pit of snakes?

Bit gross, but fine with it.

All right, well, you've succeeded this time.

Your team still has 47 seconds left.

Let us make haste to our second challenge -

it's the Terrifying Tunnel of Terror.

There are three boxes of grossness to open.

Unlock the first box to gain the key to the second,

and then work your way to that precious scroll.

Just remember to keep your mouth shut.

Well, a messy dare in store for us now.

Which of you is the messiest, would you say?

-Me, definitely.

-Yes, Anna,

rarely to be found without dinner all over her tummy,

am I right? Good!

Which of you is going to undertake this deadly task, then?

Me.

All right, Anna, your time starts in 3, 2 ,1...

start the clock!

-That's it, our first key.

-Come on, Anna!

Oh, my goodness me, she's covered in gloop!

That's it, have a feel around.

Well done, you've found the key to the second box.

-Sliding along.

-You can do it!

Only 47 seconds left, remember, for all these chambers.

That's it, well done. The second box.

-You can do it, Anna!

-Quick!

-She's got the second key.

-Go, go!

-Come on, Anna, last one!

That's it, popcorn for a bit of decoration at the end.

There we go.

How lovely you look.

That's it. She's grasping the scroll.

Get it out, well done! Stop the clock!

Anna showed she was no stranger to mess

and did the tunnel in lightning speed,

but Team Extreme just have 16 seconds left

as we head to the Dome of Doom.

The final scroll is locked in a chest in the Dome of Doom.

To find the key, you must match the feathers to the picture.

But it's not so easy when they're guarded by terrifying beasts.

RIBBIT!

Well, here we are at the Dome Of Doom at long last.

What do you think lies inside?

Something like frogs, mice, spiders, stuff like that.

Frogs, mice, spiders?

Let's have a look and see which it might be.

Well, you were bang on with the frogs guess.

How do you feel now, children, at the prospect of the Frog Kingdom?

-Amazing.

-Amazing!

Well, which of you will undertake this final challenge?

-Me.

-You, again!

You have just 16 seconds left to complete the challenge.

Your time will start when your head gets through the hole.

-Come on, Anna!

-Go on, Anna!

-Come on, Anna!

That's it, start the clock. Have a look at the picture.

Red and green, red and green.

That's it, don't be afraid to disturb the frog.

-Come on, Anna!

-Yes...

-Come on...

-My gosh, they're getting jumpy, as well they might.

-That's 10, 9, 8, 7, 6...

-Anna, try a different one!

-5...

-Anna, it's going to do it!

-4, 3...

-Come on, Anna!

-2, 1...

Anna, you're out of time! I'm sorry.

Well done, Anna. Well done. Unlucky.

That's difficult.

Well, Anna, you didn't manage to get a scroll on that occasion,

but you have managed to gain two scrolls all together.

It's time to confront the Door of Destiny!

So, Team Extreme, you've got your two scrolls -

let's see what they say.

"You see them zipping up and down the motorway..."

"You see them zipping up and down the motorway."

What could they be?

-Cardigans?

-No!

-Cars?

-Yes!

-Well, you might be right.

Let's read our second scroll and see how that adds to our understanding.

"You find them parked on their own special holiday sites."

"You find them parked on their own special holiday sites."

What could that be?

-Caravans.

-Caravans, you think.

Well, it's time for you to face the Door of Destiny

and speak your password.

Door of Destiny...

-..the word you seek is... BOTH:

-Caravan.

DOOR RATTLES

THEY CHEER

Well, I hate to see a winner!

Well done, Team Extreme, you have defeated me.

Come together and claim your prize.

Bah!

Bah, we lost again!

Oh, well. At least I have a chance to practise my singing.

# Doo-doo-doo

# Doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo

# Doo doo-doo-doo... #

Bah, what do you know?

You don't even have ears!

Anyhoo, fearless children and adults, beware,

for the Dare Devil waits with a devilish dare!
